I just came across this classic clip from a WWE Raw event that aired in October, 1998. I never followed wrestling but it appears that wrestler Steve Austin and WWE founder Vince McMahon have a love-hate relationship. That relationship must have been even more strained after this event which culminated in Austin filling McMahon's early C4 Corvette Coupe with cement.
Of course this stunt was planned to boost ratings as this telecast was one of the first wrestling events to air on the USA network on a Monday Night, facing NFL Monday Night Football as well as WCW wrestling on TNT. In an LA Times interview about the stunt, McMahon says he picked a Corvette to make his entrance because, "if you’re going to destroy a car, make it worth destroying."
