WWF title on the line on this show. Austin then challenged McMahon to be the man
he faces for the title. McMahon said he wouldn't do it. Austin then said that if he didn't want the match, he had to pick a WWF official to fight him for the title.

his mind. Austin said McMahon can't leave because he's already beaten
up his limo driver and the limo has 4 flat tires. Austin
