* Yes, you see this one coming from a mile away, but, it still works. On the March 15, 2004, ''Raw'', Sheriff Austin confronted Rene Dupree of ForeignWrestlingHeel TagTeam La Resistance about Dupree's French poodle Fifi, and said to "get rid of that French bitch." Dupree asked, "Are you calling Fifi a French bitch?" Austin: "No, I'm calling YOU a French bitch!"

* When Vince revealed himself as the "Higher Power" and basically the mastermind behind his own daughter's traumatizing kidnapping, Linda promoted Austin to CEO of the WWF in revenge. While incredibly short, Austin's run as CEO led to a string of funny moments which included putting his managers' jobs on line via a beer drinking contest, filling Vince's office with "bullshit", and converting Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon's salary into the beer budget.

* Footage exists of one of his infamous after show performances (Austin would often stay out for 30-45 minutes after the show would go off air to entertain the crowd some more) that included stealing an office chair from the tech area and rolling it down the ramp with beers raised with both hands until the whole thing fell over and Austin rolling out of the crash laughing and throwing beer around.

Added DiffLines:

* During Austin’s 2001 heel run, he would spend time after the show would go off air interacting with the front row. This would consist of asking their name, asking them what they did for a living, and then saying “If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s a [whatever job the person had]!” and proceed to shit talk that person’s choice of employment. One such night, he asked a woman named Stacy what she did and she answered “I work for a Christian Publishing Agency!”. Before Austin can even finish his catchphrase, he breaks down laughing, casually tosses the mic back into the ring and just leaves while still laughing all the way up the ramp.

* Austin holds Raw hostage and he calls out Vince [=McMahon=] because he says with pride that Creator/MikeTyson is [[RedBaron The Baddest Man on the Planet]]. Vince eventually comes down to the ring, and explains to Austin that "baddest man on the planet" is a figure of speech. Austin then calls [[FlippingTheBird his finger]] a figure of speech.

* Let's face it, the [[FinishingMove Stunner]] is a hilarity in itself, especially when the receiver sells by [[TheatricsOfPain flying through the air like they're on a bouncy castle]]. Special mention needs to go to Wrestling/KurtAngle and his 'falls like a tree being cut down' technique, anybody who [[SchmuckBait drinks Austin's beer]] spraying beer when they're hit, and, of course, [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] bouncing and flopping like a dead fish long after the move has been hit.
