Steve Austin's shenanigans Oct 31, 2013 20:11:20 GMT -5

So I was reading the wikipedia entry on D-Generation X when I found this sentence.

That same night, DX were "hunted" by Austin, with Stone Cold catching Road Dogg in a bear trap, Billy Gunn in a noose, having a portion of the backstage ceiling fall on X-Pac and finally catching the whole group in a net.

Now I remember watching the show religiously during 1999-2000 but I don't remember the show turning into something out of looney tunes. This sounds like the wacky hijinks Hornswoggle would pull on 3MB. What the hell happened here? I remember Austin being a badass, not wacky.

Also, how did a bear trap get used without (kayfabe) seriously injuring someone?

Having a hard time visualizing the bear trap or the noose but I vividly remember the ceiling falling on Pac.

He had his wacky moments, hunting Vince and making him piss himself, the beer truck, attacking McMahon with a bedpan in hospital.
