5 times crime was used in WWE storylines

#1 Austin/Pillman

Best of friends, Worst of enemies

In this storyline, Austin destroyed Pillman's ankle in an in-ring segment. The on-screen rivalry between the two former WCW partners became personal with Austin going after Pillman in his own home.

Pillman did an interview from his home on the November 4, 1996 episode of Raw with Vince McMahon and he pulled out a gun. They went to break there. Austin ended up showing up at Pillman's house, he beat up some of Pillman's friends and got into the home by breaking a window.

Pillman had the gun cocked and ready to go, but they went to break.

This left everbody wondering if anybody had actually fired a shot, and garnered a lot of negative publicity for the WWE.
