Triple H will be here later to talk about something and presumably show some footage. But first, the man who runs Raw has a few things to say, as he heads to the ring. He needs to talk about what happened with Stone Cold last week.
They have a lot in common. Flair even likes Austin. He wants to see him beat The Undertaker at Backlash and challenge for the top belt. Breaking glass heralds the arrival of the Texas Rattlesnake. Is that all? McMahon would put Austin in a handicap match or something, Flair just looks like a wuss.
Austin takes a moment, then takes his time asking who his opponent was meant to be last week? Was it Ric Flair? No, it was Scott Hall. Is Ric Flair Scott Hall? Is he Razor Ramon? Eh ehh! What a promo this is. Crowd delighted with this. Stone Cold reiterates that he will defeat Taker, bottom line, etc. This brings out Mean Mark of course, sans bike this time.
Austin is focusing on the wrong man. Sunday will be a war. This new stip goes down like a bag of bricks in the arena.
Yeah right. Hall is ready to throw down, but suddenly Bradshaw is here. A brawl breaks out, Austin and Bradshaw clear house, and somewhere in the middle Flair also takes some punches. The Nature Boy is red-hot with anger while Austin and Bradshaw stand tall. Lengthy opening segment, feels like half the roster is involved here. Backstage Flair is livid, with Arn Anderson trying to calm him down. Flair says if they want to tear it all down, they can do it in the main event: three on two, the nWo and The Undertaker against Austin and Bradshaw.
