Former pro wrestling star and now WWE executive vp Paul Levesque remembers Stone Cold Steve Austin's scuffle with Mike Tyson on Jan. 19, 1998:

"Tyson was probably—positively or negatively—the most recognizable face on the planet: the 'baddest man on the planet.' And you had our new resident baddest man on the planet, Stone Cold Steve Austin, whom fans were just gravitating to in a way they'd never done before, walking out and flipping off Mike Tyson. That was the shove heard 'round the world. It just lit up a whole different feeling about WWE.... That was the start of a moment in time where everyone started talking about what we were doing."
