was able to counter and hit him
in the gut. Blackman then applied a submission maneuver, causing

carrying a chair. Jack took a microphone when he got to the ring
and sat in the chair. He said
he wouldn't let DX put him away due to that attack last week on
RAW.
Jack said that he and Terry Funk don't miss wrestling matches.
Said that Funk must
be very hurt not to be on RAW this week. Called Funk the bravest
man he knows. Jack said that Funk told him that he wanted to
retire as the tag champ, but was
stripped of that last week. Jack said that when he heard Steve
Austin's name being
chanted when he and Funk were laid out, he was disgusted
with the fans. He then asked for a group apology from the fans,
but didn't get one. He then said it's not worth it anymore. He
said that the fans wouldn't see
Cactus Jack for a long time.
The WWF showed footage shot by the Nation of Domination.

way into the arena before the show.

Vince McMahon, with two security officers, made his way
down to the ring. McMahon then introduced he "new and
improved" Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Austin came out in a black suit & a red tie on, holding the
WWF title on his shoulder.
McMahon told Austin that this is the first step for him to be the
greatest
WWF champion of all time. McMahon said that Austin must abide by
the dress code that he had agreed to. McMahon then took off the
Austin 3:16 hat he was wearing and
threw it into the crowd. Austin said that the time in jail he
had, made him realize that he
couldn't compete with McMahon. He said he can't beat Vince
McMahon due to his great power. Austin then took out a camera and
told one of the police officers to
take a picture of himself and McMahon holding the WWF belt.
Austin then said that he
better get the film developed because he'll never see him in a
suit and tie again.
He then ripped off the suit and tie, exposing a new Steve Austin
shirt. He then told
McMahon to bow down to him, punching him in the
mid-section.

took the microphone and talked about how DX urinated on their
bikes. He then challenged them to come out later in the night to
face them in a 3 on 3 match.

Shamrock
-Before the match, Ross announced that DX had accepted a match
with D.O.A for later in the night. Mero told Sable that he gave
her the spotlight at WrestleMania.
He then ordered her to leave the ring, which she did. As Mero
went for the "T.K.O," Shamrock reversed and executed a
belly-to-belly suplex. From
there, the Nation came down to the ring. Shamrock then took a
chair to defend himself.

like no one else. The
