English football cult hero and former AFC Wimbledon star Vinnie Jones reflects on his WWE Capital Carnage appearance in 1998 with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
There won’t have been much capable of giving football icon and Hollywood hardman Vinnie Jones the jitters over the years.More than 300 of those games were played for Wimbledon in the Premier League and First Division across two spells, where he cemented himself a member of the infamous crazy gang .
It may come as a surprise, then, that he was once left unable to feel his feet for nerves before taking to a very different field – the WWE wrestling ring.and featuring in gangster flick Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Vince McMahon’s grappling empire recruited him to appear at their Capital Carnage pay-per-view in London.The man made of steel on the pitch quickly turned to jelly, according to Austin, who later claimed: “When we were laughing together, he goes: ‘Man I’m so nervous.
“But was a completely different thing. I can’t remember my feet touching the platform going down… It was like I just floated down there and I got just all in to it.”before shoving The Big Boss Man prior to the main event match – an action enough to earn him a red card from guest referee Gerald Briscoe who ordered him away from the ring.
