00:00We are back live, ladies and gentlemen.
00:05Raw is Lord, Tim Ross and Terry the Key Lawler here at ringside.
00:09And this will indeed be a classic slobber knocker for the WWF title.
00:15And remember, while Austin was still CEO of the WWF,
00:20Austin signed this match for tonight with the stipulation that if there is any
00:26corporate chemistry interference, that the Undertaker will fork at the title to the Rattlesticks.
00:32The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
00:40It's interesting, but it's been accompanied by Paul Mare.
00:45He weighs in at 328 pounds.
00:49The World Wrestling Federation Champion, the Undertaker.
00:56The World Wrestling Federation Champion.
01:00Rattling the 2020s.
01:02The Verge of the World Wrestling Federation Champion...
01:05The Terrible Music Effect...
01:08The World Wrestling Federation Champion.
01:11The Mare.
01:12The World Wrestling Federation Champion.
01:16Let me just say this, JR.
01:18Look at that man right there.
01:20This is why Mr. McMahon is so confident.
01:23That, plus the fact that Vince and Shane took the heart out of Austin last night.
01:27I'm telling you, nothing is going to ruin this celebration.
01:30This has been promised to be a night to be remembered forever by Mr. McMahon.
01:53Will indeed it be a night that we will never, ever forget?
02:03That face.
02:05Austin's not lost any heart.
02:07Oh, yes, he has.
02:08There he goes.
02:09We'll find out.
02:10Austin now the right hand's on The Undertaker.
02:13It's going to get ugly early.
02:14I can guarantee you that.
02:16This one may not be too pretty, folks, but cause of the intensity here and what's at stake.
02:20Austin burying that shoulder deep into the abdomen of The Undertaker,
02:24who is the reigning WWF champion.
02:26Oh, yeah.
02:26The Undertaker overpowering Austin now.
02:30Hard right hand, Undertaker has Austin caught in the corner,
02:34and The Undertaker intimidating the referee and anybody else that is in his sight.
02:39Keep him down.
02:42We got to continue the celebration.
02:45Oh, yeah.
02:46Another hard right hand by The Undertaker on the rattlesnake.
02:50This crowd, 19, 5, 50 times.
02:54And then fast press.
02:56This crowd behind Austin.
02:59With a jackhammer right hand.
03:01Yeah!
03:01And where is he?
03:02The forearm.
03:04Well, that'd be a noose.
03:05Two and a half.
03:06Woo!
03:07Good, strong two count there.
03:10Created by Austin on The Undertaker.
03:12The first near fall of this context.
03:14The WWF title is at stake.
03:17It doesn't get any bigger than that.
03:21It's too low.
03:22Austin again bearing his shoulder into The Undertaker.
03:25No, no, no, no, no.
03:28Austin has come with everything he's got thus far.
03:30A lot of power The Undertaker reverses.
03:32Everything except his heart, JR.
03:34Don't forget that.
03:34Look out.
03:35Austin going for the stunner.
03:36Woo!
03:37What a collective gasp by this sold-out crowd here in Charlotte.
03:41Good here on the outside.
03:44Austin going out after.
03:45Yeah!
03:45Oh!
03:46That one slams right to the spine.
03:49And Austin and The Undertaker.
03:51Out here on the outside.
03:54Austin measuring the WWF champion.
03:58Come on, Undertaker!
04:03Undertaker's the most evil, demonic, son of a...
04:08You know what I've ever been around in my life.
04:10Oh, you talk about evil.
04:11What about a CEO that writes, rewrites his own contract because he knows he's going to lose a big match?
04:18I don't call that evil.
04:20I call that pretty intelligent.
04:21Oh, come on.
04:21You're saying you wouldn't do it?
04:22Oh, my.
04:23The Undertaker tasted some steel steps.
04:25I would never do that.
04:26And it don't taste like Carolina barbecue, let me tell you.
04:28It takes a heartless son of a gun to do something like that.
04:30Oh, that is Steve Austin, isn't it?
04:34Austin now.
04:36Sitting on The Undertaker for the ride.
04:37Yes!
04:38Lowered the head.
04:38The Undertaker saw it.
04:40And almost kicked Austin's head off.
04:43Oh!
04:44Austin returns the face.
04:45Oh!
04:46And a hard close line.
04:48Let me get The Undertaker.
04:49Get out of a tin!
04:50Then Austin got a near fall.
04:51And this is a frantic pace these two are setting here in the early goal.
04:58We've taken all our commercial breaks.
05:00We aren't going anywhere until this match is settled right here live tonight on Raw.
05:06Hey, wait a minute.
05:08Paul Bearer.
05:09Bruno Magley.
05:11The referee had seen that.
05:13The referee had seen that.
05:15Paul Bearer would have cost The Undertaker the WWF title.
05:19Oh, come on.
05:20That was interference by a corporate ministry member.
05:23Was he?
05:24The referee, the referee, the referee!
05:28Watch The Undertaker measure off to that elbow.
05:31Looking right into the...
05:33Watch this.
05:33Watch this kick to the face.
05:35Yeah.
05:39Undertaker another hard right hand.
05:41And The Undertaker has taken this near 20,000 fans out of the game
05:45as they came here to see The Rattlesnake retaliate.
05:48They're shot.
05:49You know they're shot, just like you are, JR.
05:51You can't believe that's not the Austin you know and love.
05:53You know why?
05:54Why is that?
05:54Because he's got no heart left.
05:56I don't believe that.
05:57I'll never believe that.
05:57He's like the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz.
06:00He's got no heart.
06:01You can't make me believe it.
06:04Undertaker has got the advantage.
06:06Yes, I'll agree with that.
06:07I don't even know why Austin's here.
06:08He was scheduled for a preliminary match tonight.
06:10Should have been a curtain jerker.
06:11Well, let's hear in Mr. McMahon and Shane's opinion.
06:15Maybe all of us don't agree with that.
06:18Look at this.
06:19I think Austin's hurt.
06:20He doesn't have the heart to continue.
06:22Austin's having a hard time getting up here.
06:24He's crawling like a dog.
06:26Fired CEO that he is.
06:30Austin's hands are down.
06:31And the Undertaker with a free shot.
06:34Caught Austin right in the nose.
06:36Yeah, that nose is already busted open by the McMahons last night.
06:39You see that?
06:41Austin down again.
06:43Being branded to the CSF.
06:45The WWF champion with his title at stake here.
06:50His building and advantage over the rattlesnake.
06:53And a kick back to the rim.
06:54Another right hand by the Undertaker.
07:04And look at Austin reeling.
07:05He's out of it, J.R., let's face it.
07:07Austin is hurt.
07:08He's in it.
07:08He's history.
07:08There's no doubt about it.
07:09He's hurtless.
07:10If he's breathing, he's in it.
07:12He stands here breathing.
07:14Wait a minute.
07:15Austin wants the title back.
07:17This is a night to get it done.
07:21No.
07:22Paul Bearer again waddling over the Buffet Buster.
07:28Oh, boy.
07:29And the Undertaker just dropped Austin down.
07:31This is for the WWF title.
07:34That man, the Undertaker, is the champion.
07:36Stone Cold Steve Austin, the challenger.
07:39And while Austin was still the CEO of his company, he made sure that Austin would get a title shot tonight.
07:45And if there was any outside interference for the corporate minister, and it was detected, we would have a new champion.
07:52The Undertaker would report with the title.
07:54And that's what we have now.
07:55Undertaker of the cover.
07:57I'll tell you one thing, I'm just sitting here thinking, J.R., if Stone Cold doesn't win this title tonight, I pity what his life is gonna be like after this.
08:07What do you think the McMahons will do to him?
08:09He had his one last chance.
08:11He rewrote his contract.
08:12This is him shooting his big shot.
08:14He don't get it done tonight.
08:15He is history.
08:16Austin doesn't get it done tonight.
08:17His life will continue to be and will be magnified as a living hell.
08:23No doubt about it.
08:24Well, that's what he made life around Titan Power.
08:26When he was the CEO.
08:27What a whip to the, that root, that moved the whole ring.
08:32Tremendous velocity by The Undertaker.
08:34Austin in trouble here.
08:36Austin got him.
08:37Austin's feet on the ropes.
08:39Get off there, Paul.
08:40I'm over there and get the.
08:41Undertaker now, the blatant choke, straightaway choke hold by The Undertaker.
08:46Uh-oh.
08:47And again, The Undertaker intimidating.
08:49What?
08:50Austin is up.
08:52The body's standing, he took the hold of The Undertaker.
08:54There's a count, and there's a near fall.
08:56Come on, Rick.
08:57And that was extremely close here.
09:00And The Undertaker now reaching away with a reverse chin lock with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
09:05Austin, Austin, Austin, Austin, Austin, Austin.
09:09Squeeze him.
09:10He's got no heart left.
09:12Squeeze the breath out of him, too.
09:13I can guarantee you one thing.
09:14I know Stone Cold as well as anybody in this country, and this WWF title means the world to the rattlesnake.
09:21Being the WWF champion, the pride it takes to be the top man in this business,
09:25means everything to the Rattlesticks.
09:27Wait a minute, wait a minute.
09:28I know two people in this world
09:30that the WWF means even more than it does
09:33to Stone Cold Steve Austin,
09:34and that's Vince and Shane McMahon.
09:36And Steve Austin being the WWF champion
09:38is a nightmare to the McMahons.
09:40I know the McMahons are back in control.
09:42I know Shane and his daddy Vince.
09:45You better start doing a little sucking up
09:47or you may be out of here.
09:48Why don't you give me lessons?
09:49You're damn good, Danny.
09:49I'll tell you one thing.
09:52Michael Cole knows how to sing the praises
09:54of The Undertaker and the McMahons.
09:56He can be out here.
09:57The Undertaker, that huge arm
09:59around the neck of Austin,
10:01reaching it down.
10:02The Undertaker forcing Austin
10:03to carry and try to breathe
10:05with that 328 pounds on his shoulders and neck.
10:08And Austin's fighting his way up.
10:10The Rattlesnake's heart is good.
10:11His heart is strong.
10:12His heart is competitive.
10:14And a right hand by the Rattlesnake.
10:16The Undertaker really, oh, the champion
10:18retaliates with an elbow right to the face.
10:21Yes.
10:24Let's face it, The Undertaker
10:25is just too much for Stone Cold.
10:28He may be.
10:29He may be.
10:31Time will tell.
10:32We'll find out right here tonight live.
10:34Especially after that drubbing
10:35Austin got last night in the ladder match.
10:37I told you two McMahons
10:38can take care of one Austin
10:40any day of the week.
10:41Look at this.
10:41This is it for you, Austin.
10:44Yes.
10:45The Undertaker coming out
10:46from the top rope
10:47with a slant.
10:48That could be all.
10:49This is going to be it right here.
10:51And Austin kicked out.
10:53The Rattlesnake kicked out.
10:54I hate Rattlesnake.
10:55And I don't think
10:56The Undertaker can believe that.
10:58After wearing and beating Austin down.
11:00After coming off the top rope
11:01with that sledgehammer-like arm.
11:03That man, The Undertaker,
11:04I truly believe,
11:05was shocked
11:06he didn't get the three count.
11:07How does that man,
11:08Stone Cold Steve Austin,
11:09kick out of that?
11:10How does he continue to do it?
11:12Because he's got the guts of ten men.
11:15The heart of a lion.
11:16He doesn't have any heart left.
11:17I don't have to say that again, do I?
11:19Well, I don't believe that.
11:21The McMahon took his heart last night.
11:24Well, that's their story
11:25and they may be sticking to it.
11:27You've got to prove it to me.
11:29Oh, no!
11:31Austin may have hurt his own head.
11:33Ramming up into the jaw of The Undertaker.
11:34You're worried about Austin's head on that?
11:37Both men down.
11:38WWE title on the line here.
11:40Could have broken The Undertaker's jaw
11:41and you're worried about Austin's head.
11:45Paul!
11:45Austin pulling The Undertaker to the corner.
11:47Uh-oh.
11:50Oh, no.
11:51Get out there, ref!
11:52Don't call.
11:53Don't let him do this!
11:55And there you go.
11:57Austin kicked off by The Undertaker.
12:00Almost over the railing.
12:01Austin holding on there.
12:02Don't help him, anybody.
12:04He's on his own here.
12:06Undertaker with the right hand.
12:08Knocking down the challenger.
12:09The rattlesnake.
12:10The uncomfortable rattlesnake.
12:12Challenging for the WWF title.
12:14Can the toughest SOB in WWF history regain the WWF title?
12:22Maybe not.
12:23There's the cover.
12:24One, two.
12:25And that's all this time.
12:26Somehow Austin kicked out again.
12:28And The Undertaker going right back to work on that net.
12:30I just got a feeling that The Undertaker's strategy is working.
12:36Wear him down.
12:37Show the world that his heart is gone.
12:40And then finally beat him and finish him off.
12:43And leave what's left of him for The McMahons to play with.
12:46As bad as I hate to say it, if Austin doesn't win the title tonight, I don't think The McMahons
12:50will ever grant him another title opportunity.
12:53Oh, my God.
12:54What a collision.
12:54What a boat down.
12:56What a collision.
13:00Austin and The Undertaker are down.
13:02And The Undertaker sets up.
13:04Yes.
13:04The demonic Undertaker.
13:07Come on, Paul.
13:08Pump him up.
13:09For certification of evil.
13:11Back on his feet.
13:12Austin sitting in the corner.
13:14The Undertaker coming in.
13:15Perhaps out of desperation.
13:18And again, the rattlesnake.
13:19He's tracking with all he's got.
13:21What?
13:21How much does Austin have left in the tank?
13:26Undertaker reverses.
13:28There's your answer, baby.
13:29Oh, no.
13:29Austin, the 10-stone.
13:31Austin.
13:31Oh, yeah.
13:32That's a stunner.
13:33He's got a stunner.
13:35Oh, no.
13:36Two.
13:37Three.
13:38What?
13:38God damn it.
13:40Damn it.
13:41Paul Bearer saves the title.
13:43Paul Bearer pulled the referee outside.
13:48Austin just punched Paul Bearer.
13:50That should be a disposition.
13:51Oh.
13:52Austin hanging The Undertaker off that rope.
13:55Undertaker is reeling here.
13:57And knocks down the rattlesnake.
13:59Again, the WWF title on the line.
14:04Undertaker missed the clothesline.
14:06Uh-oh.
14:07Austin.
14:07Oh, no.
14:08Not again.
14:08He got the stunner.
14:09Not again.
14:10He got the stunner.
14:11The leg is up.
14:12Yeah.
14:13Yeah.
14:14The rattlesnake.
14:15The rattlesnake.
14:16The rattlesnake.
14:19The WWE Champion.
14:24So cold as the WWE Champion.
14:31That was your celebration.
14:33Yes, it's a night we're never, ever going to forget.
14:37Austin, the champion.
14:38And look out.
14:40The Undertaker is still Austin from behind with a title belt.
14:45Austin just got hammered right in the face with a WWE title belt by The Undertaker.
14:52This is a tragedy.
14:53A travesty.
14:54This is awful.
14:56Do you see how hard he hit him with that belt?
14:58Come on, Undertaker.
14:59Austin just got hammered right in the face with a WWE title belt.
15:04And Austin is busted wide open.
15:07Austin is bleeding.
15:09And Austin fighting back.
15:13Austin fighting back with all he's got.
15:16But Austin has been busted open.
15:18The new WWE Champion is being assaulted.
15:21It's being destroyed now by The Undertaker.
15:26The Undertaker ripping at Austin's face.
15:29Austin has been busted wide open here.
15:31The Undertaker, this is awful.
15:33The Undertaker, this is awful.
