[The Rock has just kicked out of a shot from a chair handed to Stone Cold Steve Austin by Mr. McMahon. McMahon now gives orders to Austin to assault Rock with the chair] Mr. McMahon brought the chair in the ring, and now Austin's using it on the Rock! There's no disqualifcation! Austin beating the living hell out of the Rock with that McMahon-endorsed steel chair! Come on, Steve, STOP! [One final shot, and Austin goes for the cover] WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? [Earl Hebner counts and a confused crowd counts along with Mr. McMahon] WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!
[Hebner counts 3] IT'S A NEW CHAMPION!
STOP ALREADY! God almighty, I can't...!
The winner of this bout, and NEW World Wrestling Federation Champion: Stone Cold Steve Austin!
[The WWF Championship belt is handed to Austin; Austin then turns to face Mr. McMahon] What the hell is this? Austin face-to-face with McMahon!
[Pull back to reveal Stone Cold shaking McMahon's hand] THEY'RE SHAKING HANDS!
Stone Cold is shaking hands with Satan himself!! For the love of God, someone tell me this is not happening!
It's happening! Stone Cold Steve Austin has sold his soul for the WWF title! [Austin signals for beer and tosses some to Mr. McMahon] We are witnessing something that will be talked about for years to come!
I don't believe this! [Austin toasts McMahon and the two drink together] What the hell?!? Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch, I don't believe this!
Steve Austin...
Drinking a damn beer with Mr. McMahon! Stone Cold has sold his soul to Satan himself to win the WWF title! WHY, STEVE? WHY THIS WAY?!? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THAT'S JUST ENOUGH! WHY HAS STONE COLD...?
Paul McMahon and Austin are together. Vince McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin all together.
Austin and McMahon made us work, might as well urinate on The Rock. That's what they've done to him. I can't believe this. I thought I knew Austin. I thought I knew the Texas Rattlesnake!
Stone Cold has sold out his fans. He sold you and all of his fans right down the river, and you know what? You have to say the leopard never changes his spots, because he is a rattlesnake and that's what a rattlesnake will do.
I don't believe this. I thought I knew that man. I thought I knew Steve Austin. I was there in the hospital when he came out of surgery. I thought I knew him. He would never, I thought he would never ever. [Austin looks at the Rock.] What now? For the love of God, Steve, stop! Just stop it! The Rock has lost the title and now he's defenseless! [Austin hits Rock with the WWF Championship belt.] And oh damn!
Vince McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin together. This is the dawning of a new era, the likes of which we have never ever seen before.
I know, I know, you've said that already. You said that and I don't like it a damn bit.
Well, there's not a damn thing you can do about it because Stone Cold and Mr. McMahon are together.
[replay shows]
Look at the look of Austin's face here. He's like a wild wounded animal. I knew that Steve would win the WWF Title but not enough to sell his soul to my God Satan himself. This is a relentless, perverse, animalistic attack on another human being.
This is the action of the new WWF Champion. These are the actions of Stone Cold Steve Austin, a new Stone Cold Steve Austin who has befriended Mr. McMahon.
But why?! BY GOD I WANNA KNOW WHY! WE DESERVE TO KNOW WHY! WHY DID STONE COLD SELL HIS SOUL TO SATAN HIMSELF?!
