Steven Austin On Not Having Supposed To Whack Vince McMahon With Bedpan In Classic Attitude Era Moment

During one of the most iconic moments in the Attitude Era, Vince McMahon was seen in a hospital bed, he would be hit on the head with a bedpan by Steve Austin back in 1998. The birth of Mr. Socko was also then as well.

On Something To Wrestle With, Bruce Prichard reveals who helped Mick Foley come up with the Mr. Socko character but also that the bump Austin gave to McMahon was impromptu and completely spur of the moment. This is what he said:

“A shoot bedpan — it was wonderful and it raised this huge knot on Vince’s head which was probably the funniest part of it. But yeah that was a Vince McMahon/ Vince Russo creation that they did so much of that was Mick Foley and his improv and the ‘Mr. Socko!’ That he and Al Snow came up with. It’s just a goof they did it on camera and (in Vince McMahon impression) ‘I LOVE IT!’”

“You know, now Mick can’t go anywhere without f*cking socks so that’s some good sh*t. Yurple The Clown and some balloon animals. But when Steve grabbed the bedpan, Steve just grabbed sh*t that was near him and hit Vince with a bedpan and about killed him.”

Thus one of the most iconic turned out to be a ”happy accident”.
