In one of the most comically infamous fights in WWE history, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Booker T brawled in the middle of a grocery store for approximately six minutes during a December 2001 episode of Smackdown.

Though not an official match with a referee in tow or 3-count finish, the lengthy fight was a highly amusing and totally memorable moment during the waning portion of the Attitude Era. It was absolutely golden to watch these two top stars being Irish whipped into a display of oranges, dousing each other with Grey Poupon and enriched flour, then taking a beer break mid-fight before resuming in the back warehouse area.

Some have criticized this segment for its one-sidedness and wish Booker had been allowed to get more offense in (and this writer is very much inclined to agree) but that aside, you can't take away from the sheer entertainment value provided by this simulated act of grocery aggression.
