[as Yokozuna prepares a Banzai Drop on Bret Hart] Yokozuna's going up. Bret Hart is not moving. [Yokozuna loses his balance and falls off the rope, Bret getting away just in time] Wait a minute, he's losing his balance! He just lost his balance on the rope!
JJerry
What?! He's hit his head!
[Bret crawls to Yokozuna and covers him as Piper counts] 1, 2, 3!
[Piper puts the belt on Bret and points down]
Yokozuna can't believe it.
BBurt
The winner of the bout and new World Wrestling Federation Champion: Bret "The Hitman" Hart!
It's not over! This capacity crowd buzzing. They've never seen anything quite like this, and you would only see it in the WWF... [Shawn Michaels loads up his boot...] Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Michaels steps - [and hits Sweet Chin Music on Bret Hart] he got it! He got all of it! Michaels got ALL OF IT! [Michaels pins Hart] MICHAELS WITH A COVER! [counting along with Earl Hebner] ONE, TWO, YES!

[About Bret Hart]
Here's a man who's had a great legacy. But that legacy has taken a real turn.
JJerry
I know he took you for a turn when he shoved you on your keister.
Yes and I didn't appreciate it one bit. I think Bret was out of line for doing that. As well as all the obscenities that he uttered on live television. There's no excuse for that no matter how many times this man so called has been screwed.
JJerry
Well you called him a son of a...
If Bret Hart loses this match, you wonder what he's gonna come up with as an excuse, because he'll have none in my view.
JJerry
Who, Bret Hart? Sure he will! He's a whiner.
Well, it's what it seems that... his sort of mind is of late, and that's too bad.
[After Steve Austin attempted to apply the Sharpshooter to Bret Hart.]
JJerry
Wouldn't that have been the greatest of all time to have to submit to the sharpshooter? (Laughs)
It could happen, it's just that painful. Bret Hart really knows how to put it on. Stone Cold Steve Austin may put it on Bret Hart as well.
JJerry
Well, Owen taught it to both of them; he's the master of it.
[Bret Hart has Steve Austin in the Sharpshooter]
Who would blame Stone Cold if he gave up?
KSKen Shamrock
[as Austin screams with blood pouring over his face] Say the word, Steve!
The blood pouring from the forehead of Stone Cold Steve Austin. He continues to resist, continues to resist the pain.
These people are standing! Can you imagine the pain rushing through Austin's body?!
JJerry
Look at the blood spurting from his temple.
SShamrock
Steve, answer me!
Austin's losing blood, Austin may be losing consciousness. [Austin starts pushing himself up] Austin trying to get one more rush of adrenaline!
Austin trying to power out! It's not a pretty sight! Stone Cold Stone Austin!
JJerry
[Austin is almost all the way up] Impossible! He's doing the impossible!
Nobody's ever done this! Nobody's ever broken.
[Austin manages to topple Bret over, but Bret holds on]
He did it! He did it! Austin did it!
Austin broke the Sharpshooter! Or did he?!
[as Bret sits back into it] No, Bret still has it on! I thought for sure he broke it. Austin trying to reach that rope! Reaching for the rope. Austin will not surrender, he will not submit!
Bret Hart has beaten every Superstar in the WWF with this move. How in the hell Austin has not given up, I can't understand!
SShamrock
[over this] Answer me! Do you give up? STEVE, DO YOU GIVE UP?! If you do not answer me, I will stop the fight!
[Austin has passed out. Shamrock tells Bret to release the hold.]
Ken Shamrock stopping it, stopping it right now! That's it! Stone Cold Steve Austin! Austin passed out!
Austin is unconscious! Austin never gave up! Austin never gave up! But he passed out from the pain! Austin is out!
And Bret "The Hitman" Hart has defeated one of the gutsiest individuals ever in the World Wrestling Federation.
As a result of Stone Cold Steve Austin losing consciousness, the winner of this bout: Bret "Hitman" Hart!
[cont'd] I can tell ya, I've never seen a display of intestinal fortitude like we saw in Stone Cold Steve Austin, who is still unconscious, and quite frankly, needs medical attention right now.
Boy, that has got to be a tough act to follow, I'll tell you that.
[The ending of the WWE European Championship match involving Triple H and Owen Hart]
JLJerry "The King" Lawler
Man, oh man.
Chyna caught Owen with a low blow.
[Triple H hits the Pedigree on Owen] Pedigree!
[counting along with the referee] 1,2,3, that's it.
[Pete Rose is the guest ring announcer in Boston]
PRPete Rose
Hey! Last time I was here, we kicked your ass!
That's a good way to make friends there Pete.
RRose
You can't win a World Series! My buddy Bucky Dent says hello! You know, I left tickets for Bill Buckner, but he couldn't bend over to pick them up. How 'bout it? They call it "the Curse of the Bambino" right here, the city of losers!
Easy. King, did you prep Pete Rose?
JJerry
Well, we did have a couple of photos made before the match up. (laughs)
Shawn Michaels is the most honored champion in WWF history. The only man in WWF history to win every major World Wrestling Federation title. He's been the WWF Champion three times. Tag Champ three times. Intercontinental Champion three times. And the European Champ— And listen to this— This chant here in Boston!
[Crowd chanting "Austin, Austin...!"]
...Chanting for Stone Cold!
JJerry
He's got his work cut out for him! If he could get through Shawn Michaels! If he could get through DX! If he could get through Mike Tyson—
[The bells rings, signifying the start of the match]
JJerry
—he deserves to be the champion! I just don't think he could do it!
Nobody has ever, ever outperformed Shawn Michaels in a big match situation. And folks, it don't get no bigger than this. This is what our business is all about. It's about earning the opportunity to wrestle in the main event at a Wrestlemania.
JJerry
Look at Shawn Michaels, he is so full of himself!
He's got great confidence, and rightfully so.
JJerry
He got Mike Tyson. Haha!
Well, you're maybe right there.
Austin back up somehow... [Shawn Michaels attempts Sweet Chin Music, but Stone Cold Steve Austin ducks and attempts the Stunner] Oh, Austin dumped him. Austin going for the Stunner, and Michaels counters. [Michaels attempts Sweet Chin Music again but Austin blocks...] Michaels going for another kick. Austin... [...and hits the Stunner] HE GOT IT, THE STUNNER! Mike Tyson in! [Mike Tyson enters the ring and does a fast 3-count] AUSTIN IS THE CHAMPION! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD!
The winner of this bout, and NEW World Wrestling Federation Champion: Stone Cold Steve Austin!
JJerry
[over Finkel's announcement] Wait a minute! WHAT? Tyson has double-crossed DX! It's a double-cross!
The Austin Era has begun! Stone Cold's eight-year journey has been culminated with WWF gold!
Wait a minute. Wait a minute! No!
JLJerry "The King" Lawler
What?!
No! Pedigree! Triple H has turned his back on X-Pac! Triple H is putting on Shane!
Shane McMahon has retained the title! No! What the hell is going on?
The winner of this bout and still World Wrestling Federation European Champion, Shane McMahon!
[after seeing Triple H leaving D-Generation X to join the Corporation.]
[Over the loudspeaker, The Rock saying the words "Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?" are heard, signaling his arrival]
Introducing first... from Miami, Florida, weighing 275 pounds, the World Wrestling Federation Champion, The Rock!
[The Rock slowly enters with the WWF Championship belt hoisted on his right shoulder]
What an athlete. The WWF Champion. A 27-year-old prodigy!
JJerry
I'm telling ya, it's good to be The King, but, it's gotta be great to be The Rock!
The Rock, the number one man in this business! And the reason is over his shoulder: The WWF Title!
JJerry
And even you got to admit, J.R., it looks so good over the shoulder of The Rock! I mean, he's the true— I mean, he's the epitome of a champion! He's the kind of man you would want representing your organization! Not some beer-swilling, finger-giving idiot like Stone Cold Steve Austin! Admit it, J.R.!
Well, that's your opinion. No doubt The Rock is a gifted athlete. [The Rock climbs above the turnbuckle where he slowly raises the belt] An amazing, amazing specimen! First third-generation star in WWF history.
JJerry
[The Rock climbs off the ropes, and threatens referee Mike Chioda with an elbow] Uh-oh!
Oh, what a match-up this is gonna be—
[Glass shatters and "I Won't Do What You Tell Me" plays, signaling the arrival of Stone Cold Steve Austin; the crowd erupts; The Rock is alert and ready for Austin as he hands the championship to Chioda]
His opponent, and challenger...from Victoria, Texas, weighing 252 lbs, Stone Cold Steve Austin!
And the Rattlesnake is ready! [Austin pushes the cameraman away at the ring steps.] This crowd is jacked! And here we are at WrestleMania XV! [As Austin walks by The Rock begins to taunt him] And The Rock already talking trash! Just like he did when he played for the Miami Hurricanes down at—at...at the Orange Bowl! [The Rock obstructs Austin's path while taunting him further.] They talk—they talked a lot of trash! They psyched out a lot of people! [Austin looks to the referee...] But, King, I don't think Austin can be intimidated—
JJerry
You don't think— [Austin strikes The Rock first as they trade shots]
[The bell sounds, beginning their No Disqualification Match]
HERE THEY GO! WWF TITLE, ON THE LINE!
