Tony Chimel: Ladies and Gentlemen, to play the song “Mosh”, with the story of Austin vs. Lesnar, here is, EMINEM!!!
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands
One nation under God
Indivisible...
I scrutinize every word, memorize every line
I spit it once, refuel and re-energize and rewind
I give sight to the blind, my insight through the mind
I exercise my right to express when I feel it's time
It's just all in your mind, what you interpret it as
I say to fight, you take it as I'mma whip someone's ass
If you don't understand, don't even bother to ask
A hero who has grown up with a heroless past
Who has blown up now to mat phenomenon that has
Or at least shows no difficulty multi-task
And in juggling both perhaps mastered his craft
Slash entrepreneur who has helped launch a few more in ring acts
Who's had a few obstacles thrown his way through the last half
Of his career typical manure moving past that
Mr. kisses ass crack, he's a class act
Rubber band man, yea he just snaps back
[Chorus:]
Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors (c'mon)
All the people up top on the side and the middle
Come together lets all bomb and swamp just a little
Just let it gradually build from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people some white and some black
Don't matter what color, all that matters we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause don't matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us they can't, we stronger now more than ever
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push, shove, mush, (c'mon)
Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors (c'mon)
Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's tryina tell us something,
Maybe this is god just sayin' we're responsible
For this monster, this coward,
That we have empowered
This is Paul Heyman, look at his head noddin'
How could we allow something like this without pumping our fists
Now this is our final hour
Let me be the voice in your strength and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify the times it, and multiply by six...
Teen million people, Are equal at this high pitch
Maybe we can reach alqueda through my speech
Let the boss answer a higher anarchy
Strap him with an Ak-47, let him go, fight his own war
Let him impress himself that way
No more blood at all, he got his own battle to fight on our own soil
No more psychological warfare, to trick us to thinking that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country, we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes its all lies
The stars and stripes, they've been swiped, washed out and wiped
And replaced with his own face, Mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you know why,
Cause I told you to fight.
Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors (c'mon)
And as we proceed,
To Mosh through this desert storm,
In these closing statements, if they should argue
Let us beg to differ
As we set aside our differences
And assemble our own army
To disarm this Weapon of Mass Destruction
That we call our President, for the present
And Mosh for the future of our next generation
To speak and be heard
Mr. Austin, Mr. Lesnar
Let the fight...begin...[laughing]
**“No Chance”** fills the arena, and we see the special guest referee for the upcoming match, Mr. McMahon walk to the ring, wearing his own referee shirt, as an Austin chant begins already**
Tony Chimel: The following contest, is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, making his way to the ring, he is the special guest referee, and he is, the chairman of the board, Mr. McMahon!!!!
**McMahon tries to make fun of the rattlesnake, going to each turnbuckle, and giving the bird at each one**
Michael Cole: What a way to round off the Smackdown side of WrestleMania!!! McMahon, Hart, Lesnar, Austin. All involved at the same time. This has the makings of a Wrestlemania classic. The build up has been emotional. It dates back to last May, when Lesnar screwed Austin out of his contract, Austin came back at the Rumble, and since then, it has been a war to say the least!!!
Tazz: This match, has had such a huge build up, so much history, that it can only end, here at this event.
**Here Comes the Pain plays and Brock Lesnar makes his way to the ring, accompanied by his agent, Paul Bearer. Lesnar wears an Austin jacket to the ring, which gets a lot of heat**
Tony Chimel: Introducing first, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in at 295 pounds, being accompanied by his agent, Paul Heyman, BROCK, LESNARRRRRR!!!!!
**Lesnar shakes hands with Vince, as does Heyman, and Lesnar then rips the Austin jacket in pieces and throws it into the crowd**
Michael Cole: Well, I don’t like this. I was afraid that this might be the case here tonight. Lets hope, McMahon doesn’t let his ego get in the way, and we get to see Austin and Lesnar go at it, one on one.
Tazz: Cole, I am ready to put my fingers in my ears, because very soon, the glass will shatter, and the roof might come off this arena!!!
**Bret‘s music plays, and the Smackdown GM makes his way to the ring, suited up, and getting a mixed ovation from the on looking crowd, considering the allegations made last week on Smackdown**
Tony Chimel: Introducing, the general manager of Smackdown….Bret, HITMANNNNN Hart!!!!
**Bret decides not to get in the ring, but pulls out a pair of sunglasses and hands them to a kid in the front row, then takes off his jacket, and rolls up his sleeves**
Michael Cole: Bret Hart looks ready for action Tazz. He knows that he may need to be called into action tonight.
Tazz: You just know that Hart would love to get his hands on McMahon Cole. That issue is still far from over in my opinion, and it never will be.
**The crowd quietens down, and then….*GLASS SHATTERS* and Steve Austin strolls to the ring, to arguably the biggest pop of the night, as he walks to the ring with a purpose**
Tony Chimel: And introducing, from Victoria, Texas, weighing in at 256 pounds, STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!!!!!
**Austin walks around the ring, and takes a look at Bret, but says nothing, then gets into the ring and goes to each turnbuckle**
Michael Cole: Oh my!!! This folks, is what they call a WrestleMania moment!!! Stone Cold, back in action. This match, in my opinion IS WrestleMania twenty one!!!
Tazz: Cole, sit back, and lets watch history unfold…
With Special Guest Referee; Mr. McMahon:
Brock Lesnar w/Heyman vs. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin w/Bret Hart
Austin then comes off the top turnbuckle, and as soon as he touches the ground, he takes his jacket off, throws it in the face of McMahon, and goes straight at it with Brock. Austin starts out beating Brock to the corner, laying into him with right hands, but Lesnar strikes back, and fights out of the corner with some big time shots of his own, but Austin then drives his knee into the midsection of Lesnar, and backs him back into the corner, and begins to stomp wildly at Lesnar, stomping a mudhole and walking it dry!!!
Stone Cold is relentless in his attack, but is pulled off Lesnar by McMahon. Austin then is set to punch Vince but McMahon then points to his referee’s shirt, and lets Austin know he will disqualify him. Austin and McMahon go face to face, and Stone Cold flips the bird at McMahon, but then Brock steams in from behind, with a strong blow to the neck of Austin, sending the rattlesnake to his knees. Lesnar smiles at McMahon, then picks up Austin effortlessly, and hit’s a Belly to Belly. He then goes for a cover, and McMahon immediately drops to the mat, and quickly counts, 1.2...KICK OUT!!!
Bret Hart immediately jumps to the apron, yelling at Vince, asking what that was all about. McMahon responds by smiling at Bret, then flipping the bird!!! Hart is irate, but decides for now to keep his cool, and calmly tells McMahon to call it straight. Meanwhile, Lesnar begins to go to work on Austin, and stomps Stone Cold on the neck, then picks him up, and rams Austin into the corner, then begins to wear out Austin’s mid section, with six consecutive shoulders to the gut, then he stomps Austin to the ground. Lesnar picks Austin up again, effortlessly, and nails a second Belly to Belly on the Rattlesnake. McMahon tells him to go for a cover, but Lesnar shakes his head, and says no, then smiles. He chokes Austin in the corner with his foot, and McMahon doesn’t do a thing to stop him. Lesnar uses the ropes for extra leverage, as Austin tries to push the foot away. Eventually, Lesnar releases Austin, but then drops an elbow to the back of the neck. Brock gets down beside Stone Cold and trash talks, asking Austin if it was all worth it, and we hear Austin tell him back, “Hell Yeah it was”. Lesnar smiles, and then drops another elbow to Austin, before leaning over the topes to start trash talking Bret. He tells Bret that at this rate, it doesn’t look like he’ll need to screw Austin, but Bret replies to him to keep his mind on Stone Cold.
Lesnar laughs, then turns around, and picks Austin up, but Austin comes back at the opponent. He fires with right hands at Lesnar, and rocks the big man, then whips him off the ropes, and drives his knee straight into Brock, sending Lesnar down like a ton of bricks. Austin bounces off the ropes, and drops a Fuck You elbow, but before he can do anymore damage, Brock rolls out of the ring to try and recover. Austin then goes to attack him, but McMahon then stands in Austin’s way. Stone Cold looks totally fed up at this stage, and looks around the arena, with everyone desperate to see him hit McMahon.
Austin looks around, and we see him start to get really fired up as McMahon smugly smiles at Austin, daring him to hit him. Austin swings back, then flips McMahon with a double bird. McMahon’s smile fades, and he starts to look pretty mad. Austin now smiles at McMahon, who is now the one getting riled up, but whilst all this happens, Brock has recovered and picked up a chair from the outside. He gets back in, and tries to attack Austin from behind with the chair, but Austin notices Bret signal to him to move, so he does just in time, and Lesnar ends up nailing McMahon!!! He stops in shock, then turns around, and is met with a STUNNER!!!! Austin covers Lesnar, and MIKE CHIODA runs down to make the count…

……HEYMAN PULLS OUT CHIODA!!!……
Heyman then puts Chioda down with a right hand, and looks pleased with his actions, then he turns around, and sees Bret closing in on him. Heyman then hightails it, and jumps the barrier into the crowd, running from Hart, who comes in pursuit of him.
In the ring, Austin furiously unloads on Lesnar, showing his total hatred for Brock, not showing any remorse. Brock even has a slight cut above his left eyebrow from the shots. Austin then whips Lesnar to the opposite corner, but Brock reverses the whip, and Austin hit’s the corner. Lesnar runs at towards him, but the Rattlesnake gets a foot up, and follows up on this with a clothesline, knocking Lesnar down. He then bounces off the ropes and drops a knee to Brock, but doesn’t bother to cover, with there being no referee present. He picks Brock up, and whips him off the ropes, but Brock reverses and then goes for a clothesline, but Austin ducks, then hit’s a Lou Thesz press on Brock, followed with a barrage of right hands to the temple.
Austin then jumps up, and salutes the crowd, then picks up the steel chair, and pulls back to nail Brock, but McMahon grabs the chair, and stops Austin, but Austin drops the chair, and goes for a stunner, but McMahon pushes Austin away, into Lesnar, and Lesnar nails Stone Cold with a humungous clothesline, turning Austin inside out. Austin rolls around the ring in agony, clutching his head, as Lesnar and McMahon share a joke. We are now seemingly in a two on one situation in this match, with McMahon’s siding to Lesnar.
Brock drops an elbow, then a second, and a third. He then gets up, and begins to stomp Austin square in the face. He then decides to go for a demeaning cover, and McMahon counts, at a normal speed, 1...2...KICK OUT!!! Lesnar smiles again, and tells McMahon that this is where we have some fun.
Lesnar picks Austin up, and whips him off the ropes, then hit’s a flapjack, dropping Stone Cold, throat first, onto the ropes, choking Austin, who bounces off the ropes, and is booted down by Brock. McMahon claps the Lesnar offence, as Brock begins to step his game up, and it looks like Austin may not have much left in the tank. Lesnar picks Austin up, and gets him up for a fisherman suplex, but then holds up in the air, almost like a torture rack, then drops Austin to the mat, who falls like a sack of potatoes.
Brock kicks Austin in the head, then decides to take a break, and lies on the top rope, whilst McMahon tries to humiliate Austin, by counting him out as he lays on the ground.

Austin then pulls himself up on McMahon, but Vince slaps him to the ground, and boots at his back trash talking along the way. He picks Austin up by the face, and slaps him, but Austin then shows his fighting spirit, and knocks Vince with a stunning right, then uses the ropes to get to his feet, and he then blocks a shot from McMahon, and hits one of his own again. Austin then begins to tee off on McMahon with rights, but Lesnar then notices Austin gaining some momentum, and drops off the ropes, and goes toward Austin, but Austin blocks a punch, and levels Brock, then hits Vince, then hits Brock, Vince, Brock, Vince, Brock, Vince, Brock, Vince, Brock, then grabs both their heads, and rams them together. The two men then stagger around the ring, and Austin looks set to hits Vince with another right, but stops, then kicks him in the gut, then clotheslines him over the top rope to the floor. Lesnar then runs at Stone Cold, but Austin meets him with a knee to the gut, followed by a Russian Leg Sweep. Austin then drags in Chioda to make the count,

……KICK OUT!!!……
Austin gets up, and spots Vince dragging himself up on the ropes, and knocks him off again, then delivers a clothesline to Lesnar. He covers Brock again, 1...2...Kick Out!!! Austin drags Lesnar up in the corner, and chops him, then Lesnar chops back. Austin then stomps, but Lesnar punches back, then head butts Austin, who staggers away, then Lesnar comes toward him, but Austin pokes Lesnar in the eyes, and hits an atomic drop, followed by a chop block to the knee, putting Lesnar down. Austin then yanks the leg, and scores with three pin point elbows to the knee. Austin then rams his knee into the knee of Brock, and stomps at the leg, wearing and tearing the muscle on Lesnar. He then drags Lesnars leg to the apron, and rams it against the ring post, and Lesnar rolls around the ring, clutching his leg. Stone Cold smiles, and brings the steel steps into the ring. Austin pushes Chioda out of the way, then stomps at the leg again, before dropping the steps on the knee of Brock. He the slams the steps against Lesnar’s leg again, and applies a figure four on Lesnar.
Brock screams out in pain, after taking a huge amount of punishment to the knee, but fights on, and scratches and claws his way to the ropes, eventually making them, but Austin has no intention of breaking the hold. Chioda tells Austin to break it, but Austin smiles, flips the bird, and bounces his head side to side, ignoring the referee. Chioda eventually breaks the hold himself, and Austin is not happy. He points at Chioda, and tells him that they are gonna have words later on. Stone Cold goes right back to work on the leg of Lesnar, stomping at the leg, and drops another few elbows. Brock though, kicks Austin away, and takes a moment to take a breather, but Austin doesn’t, and gets right back up, and grabs the steel chair from earlier, and nails Lesnar with a blistering shot to the head of the next big thing. Austin covers,

…MCMAHON DROPS AN ELBOW ON THE REFEREE!!!…
McMahon stands over Chioda, as Austin looks up irate. Vince tells Austin that only he can make the count, no on else. Austin gets up, and chases McMahon around the ring, but as the chase goes on, Lesnar rolls to the outside, and as Vince runs past, Austin follows, but doesn’t see Brock, and he is met with an overhead Belly to Belly suplex on the unproductive mats!!!
Lesnar celebrates the cunning move he and Vince have just made, and then grabs the steel steps as if they were a football, and hoists them up into the air, and nails Austin between the eyes…AND AUSTIN IS BUSTED WIDE OPEN!!! Austin has been busted open, and busted open badly. He pulls himself up on the barrier, then turns around, and is met by Lesnar, who picks up Austin, and hits three rib breakers, before dropping Austin to the ground. Brock picks Austin up, and slams his bloody head off the steel steps, then whips him, face first into the ring post, and follows up with a clothesline. Brock then pounds down the beaten and bloody Rattlesnake, and rubs his forearm all over the face of Austin, as an act of total disrespect.
Vince meanwhile, instead of trying to get the action back into the ring, is directing traffic, giving Brock ideas of what to do to the Rattlesnake. Lesnar picks Stone Cold up on his shoulders, and hit’s the snake eyes onto the barrier, then hit’s a German Suplex, onto the prone neck of Steve Austin. Brock then drags Stone Cold back into the ring, and immediately hit’s a looonnngggg back suplex. He thinks about the cover, but decides against it, and picks up the steel chair, then tells McMahon to watch this. He begins to drive the chair into the sternum of Austin, then slams the chair against his ribs, hits him on the head, the legs, the body, the head, legs, body, head, legs, body, and head, then drops the chair, after handing on the punishment. McMahon nods, loving what he is seeing. He then tells Brock to get the chair again, and he does. McMahon holds Austin up, and Lesnar levels the motionless Rattlesnake with the chair. He gets a cover, and McMahon makes a quick count…
…1.2.FOOT ON THE ROPE!!!
McMahon pounds the mat in frustration, and Lesnar clenches his fist in fury. He bounces off the ropes and hit’s a running knee lift on Austin, then sits him up again for the same move, but as Lesnar comes back off the ropes, he is met with a spine buster from Stone Cold!!! Austin then sets Lesnar up for the Stunner, but McMahon comes from behind and nails Austin with the chair to the back of the head. McMahon then drags Lesnar on top of Austin, but this takes quite a while, and eventually he does, then makes another quick count…
…1.2.KICK OUT!!!!
McMahon flops to the mat in shock. He cannot believe the heart of Stone Cold, and takes his frustration out on the battered Rattlesnake. He pounds Austin with right hands, but Austin seems to get a fourth wind, and starts to strike back at Vince, fighting up to his feet, and knocking back Vince with right hands, into the corner, then he begins to stomp the boss down, but Lesnar then runs over hit Austin with a corner splash, but Austin moves out of the way, and Lesnar nails McMahon instead. Lesnar then turns around, and Austin goes for a stunner, but Brock drops down to his knees and low blows Stone Cold, and follows up with a devastating F5!!! Brock hooks the leg, but Vince is unable to count too quickly, due to having just been beaten up…

……AUSTIN KICKS OUT!!!……
Lesnar tries to not let this affect him, and he picks up the steel chair once again, and throttles Austin with another blow to the head, dropping the Bionic ******* to the mat again. Vince tells Brock to go for the cover, but Lesnar says he has a better idea, and picks Austin up, before applying a bear hug!!
The blood from Austin’s head drips onto the shoulder, and down the back of Lesnar, and he synchs in the hold, and instead of asking IF he wants to give up, Vince tells Austin to give it up. Austin seems to be fading fast, as Lesnar continues to apply pressure, gripping Austin and even adding in a head butt here and there. Austin looks to have totally faded, and possibly passed out, then Lesnar just drops him to the ground, and stomps on his bloody head adding insult to injury. He picks Austin up, and slaps him down, picks him up, and slaps him down. Then Austin uses the ropes to get up, and tries to kick back at Brock, but the kick has no effect, and Lesnar slaps Austin again. Austin uses the ropes to stay up, and then comes at Brock, but Brock slaps him down to one knee. Austin refuses to give up though, and continues to rise to his feet, infuriating Lesnar further.
Brock backs Austin into the corner, and unleashes a series of right hands, but Austin fires some right back, and fights out of the corner, but Lesnar then drives a knee to the midsection, and sends him into the ropes, and then puts his head down, but Austin holds the ropes, and Lesnar is still waiting for Austin to come back. He then looks up, and sees Austin standing by the ropes, flipping the bird again. Brock then runs at Austin, but Austin hit’s a back body drop, sending Lesnar to the outside, leaving just McMahon and Austin. Austin goes for McMahon, and McMahon, again tries to get away, but Austin catches him, and drags him back to the middle of the ring, then starts to choke him, showing his pent up anger at the referee. However, Brock rescues McMahon, and comes from behind to put down the bloody Rattlesnake once again.
Lesnar then picks up Austin from the ground, but again, Austin refuses to take the beating, and comes right at Lesnar. He gets the best of the fist fight, then bounces off the ropes, but Lesnar then meets him with a spine buster, but again decides not to cover Austin, but instead smiles at Vince, who smiles back, and then Brock applies the SHARPSHOOTER!!! McMahon immediately calls for the bell, but everyone around the timekeepers desk sit where they are, look at McMahon and shake their heads saying no. Vince is furious!!! He tells them that after tonight, each and every single one of them are fired.
In the ring, Lesnar still has the Sharpshooter applied, but Austin refuses to tap to the submission. He scratches and claws his way to the ropes, and eventually makes the ropes to break the hold, but McMahon shows his true colours, and kicks Stone Cold’s arms off the ropes, and Lesnar drags him back to the centre of the ring. McMahon then gets down, and into the face of Austin, taunting him, telling him that he has to tap, but Austin responds by slapping Vince, despite being in the Sharpshooter. Vince then gets up, and kicks Austin in the head repeatedly, irate with Austin’s will to win. Brock, also frustrated, releases the hold, but immediately picks up Austin, and goes for the Bearhug again, but Austin fights it, and hit’s the STUNNER on Brock. He then goes for Vince and pounds him down in the corner, unloading on the boss.
Then Ford Field erupts, as we see a figure run down the aisle, chair in hand, but as they realise who it is, they begin to boo, as the person is PAUL HEYMAN, who runs down the aisle, looking back, probably because Bret is still after him. He runs into the ring, and hits Austin from behind with the chair. He then helps Vince up to his feet, and then…HEYMAN CLOCKS VINCE WITH THE CHAIR!!!!!!!! Ford Field goes berserk, as Heyman turns on McMahon. He stands over Vince and we can hear him screaming at Vince, “This was all my plan, but you ruined it!!! I only wanted you in Brock’s corner, but YOU had to be better. I’m sick of you, and sick of you always trying to outdo me!!! I’m Paul Heyman, don’t forget that!!!”
Paul then looks around the ring, and sees Austin going to cover Lesnar, and Chioda getting in to count. He then smashes the chair against the back of Stone Cold, and the cheers turn to boo’s for Heyman, as it becomes clear he is still on Lesnar’s side, but against Vince. He then nails Chioda with the chair, sending him to the outside again. He helps Brock up, and hands him the chair, then Ford Field erupts again, as Bret Hart comes through the crowd, and jumps into the ring, and spears down Heyman, pounding him down, but then as he gets up, he is met with an F5 from Lesnar!!!
Brock then nails Stone Cold with the chair again, and revives McMahon to make the cover,

…AUSTIN KICKS OUT!!!…
Brock lies flat out on the mat, totally spent from Austin’s unbelievable courage in this unreal match. He and Vince then decide to double team Austin, and eventually drag him up, whip him off the ropes, but Austin ducks a double clothesline, and nails both men with a double clothesline of his own, but all three men are down.
Twenty seconds pass with little movement between any of the men, but eventually all three begin to try and get to their feet, while this happens, Bret also recovers, and picks up the chair. He looks around the ring, at the three men, first at Lesnar, and the crowd cheers for him to hit Brock, then at Austin, but the crowd boo, and tell him not to, then he looks at McMahon, and the arena goes nuts wanting him to nail McMahon. Bret then points at Vince and goes toward him, but instead of nailing him with the chair, BRET HELPS VINCE TO HIS FEET, AND HANDS HIM THE CHAIR!!!
Vince smiles, takes the chair, then gives Bret a playful slap to the face, and the two men hug!!! Ford Field is ready to blow, as the hug breaks, but Bret’s smile then turns to a scowl, and he NAILS MCMAHON WITH A LOW BLOW!!! McMahon drops to his knees, holding his mid section, but Bret doesn’t see Brock coming, and is taken down with a clothesline from the 295 pounder!!!
Heyman now gets back into the ring, and jumps Austin from behind, stopping Stone Cold from getting Lesnar. Brock then gets Stone Cold up on his shoulders, and goes for the F5, but Austin lands on his feet, and goes for a Stunner, but Lesnar pushes Austin away, but Stone Cold clotheslines Heyman, then comes back, but is met with an F5!!! He gets a cover, but there is no referee available to make the count. Lesnar slaps Vince awake, then sees Austin getting up, and goes for the F5 again, but Austin fights out, ducks a clothesline, and NAILS THE STUNNER!!! He covers…

Austin then grabs McMahon by the shirt, but Brock NIPS UP, and comes from behind to Austin. He then kicks him into the corner, and goes to run at him, but Austin moves out of the way, and Lesnar bounces out…INTO THE STUNNER!!!!
Austin covers again…

Vince shakes his head refusing to count, then walks backward, and then walks into someone behind him…he slowly turns around, and its BRET!!! Hart clotheslines Vince, then locks in the Sharpshooter…Austin still has a cover, and McMahon in the Sharpshooter has no choice but to…

TAP ONCE (Crowd: 1)

TAP TWICE (Crowd: 2)

TAP THRICE!!!! (Crowd: 3!!!!!!!)
AUSTIN WINS!!!!!! MCMAHON TAPPED THREE TIMES, COUNTING AS A PINFALL!!!!
Winner; STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!!!
Austin goes to each turnbuckle in celebration, as Brock and Heyman help each other up the ramp, and McMahon is flopped out on the outside. Austin is bloody, battered, and beaten down, but he is the winner!!! He calls for two beers, then hands them to Bret. At first, Bret refuses, telling Austin is isn’t happy with him from Smackdown for stunning him, but Austin convinces him, and Bret eventually agrees. Austin then calls for two beers of his own, and they toast in the ring, and celebrate this awesome victory.
Michael Cole: I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!! An unreal match, with the most bizarre pinfall finish. McMahon said that he must make the count, on his own, with his will, and HE DID!!! Against all the odds, Austin has done it!!! Despite facing an athlete in his prime, despite being out of the ring for ten months, despite facing his biggest enemy of all time as the referee, Stone Cold, has overcome all the odds, and along with Bret Hart has had the last laugh!!!
Tazz: This my friend, was a classic. The build up was so intense, the anticipation was so high, but it all delivered!!! From the action between Brock and Austin, to Heyman nailing Vince, to Bret making us all think he was siding with McMahon, What a rollercoaster, what a rocket buster!!! I have never seen a finish to a match quite like it Cole!!!
Time to judge then Scott...
