“The One With Linda McMahon”: Stone Cold Steve Austin, Who Once Denied Supporting Donald Trump, Had Unlikely Remorse for His SBA Administrator

Stone Cold Steve Austin is synonymous with many things in wrestling, one of them being Stunners. His iconic signature move, Stone Cold Stunner, was a lovely reoccurrence whenever he delivered it. Unlike other signatures, it wasn’t popular because fans knew the match was about to end once Austin hit the finisher. But it was over with the audience because the Texas Rattlesnake was known for hitting it at any person who the audience didn’t like.

This included everyone from the head of the company, Vince McMahon, to the least of anyone’s worries, the Hurricane. The former even had an intense feud with Austin which became the most recognizable storyline from the Attitude Era time of WWE. But this feud also cost Austin one of the few stunners that he regretted in his spectacular run in the ’90s. One that would be to the supporter of the President that he made very clear he didn’t imagine as running the country.

When asked which Stunner would Steve Austin take back if he could, The Rattlesnake replied, “The one with Linda McMahon. Linda McMahon was like a mother to me on the road. She was just awesome to me and I loved her. We kinda botched it a little bit, right? I wanted to be gentle with her. So it would probably be that one.”

Linda McMahon was a significant player in WWE storylines. Her acting chops helped her kids, Stephanie and Shane, break into the industry and stand out against the stacked talent WWE roster. She has also been involved in a storyline where she went one on one against Stephanie herself. And one where she fought Vince for the custody of the company and their children, recruiting Mankind to fight on her behalf.

Linda McMahon also has had a successful political career becoming the Small Businesses Administration under the Trump Administration. She is a Republican politician and heavily benefited when Trump became President in 2016. Her role as the SBA Administrator was from 2017 to 2019.

She is also one of the progenitors of the Titan Sports Inc. company. As much as the influence Vince has had in the wrestling industry, the same can be said about Linda. Her relations with the wrestlers and the crew held the company together in the darkest and brightest periods. But one thing that was not her specialty was the creative side of the business.
