Stone Cold and Vince McMahon's friendship isn't exactly a secret. The two have been close for a long time and it's safe to say that Austin played a huge part in helping Vince McMahon beat WCW. While speaking with Lilia Garcia, Stone Cold revealed that Vince McMahon was heavily editing his character, and it was holding him back. He talked to Vince about the same and convinced him to stop editing him on-screen.
