One of the most iconic moments of the WWE features the legendary trash-talker and one of the most badass personalities ever, Stone Cold Steve Austin, devour some five-six cans of beer as a celebratory moment inside the ring over the years. The 90s kids know it the best.

They also know that the 51-year-old from Austin, Texas is the one who has 'Stone Cold stunner-ed' any American President ever in history, when he did that to Donald Trump in the late 2000s.

How many are, however, are aware of the person who actually was made to go through the hectic ordeal of throwing the beer cans -- one after another -- to appease the 'Texas Rattlesnake'?

Mark Yeaton, who worked for WWF/WWE for over a decade since 1984 as one of the persons who used to set up the ring as well as a referee and timekeeper, was the man responsible for throwing the beer cans to Stone Cold whenever he got on to the top rope and signalled for them.

Be it during Monday Night Raw or the WWE pay-per-views, Mark was always in the ringside when Stone Cold was wrestling in the ring. He has been even roughed up by the former WWE superstar and been hit with a couple of stunners as well, Stone Cold has revealed in his latest episode of The Steve Austin Show.

"I can't tell you how many times I left the ring and I had a little bit of a buzz because of all the beers I was drinking. When you're shotgunning anywhere from six to 12 beers, and maybe you get half of 'em in. On an empty stomach, after you've wrestled, it goes to your head pretty quick," mentioned Stone Cold.
