WWF Raw 5/25/98
To start RAW off, Vince McMahon, Gerald Brisco, Pat
Patterson, and three police officers came down to the ring.
McMahon called last week's RAW a glorious
moment, when Brisco & Patterson gave Steve Austin all they
could. He then said he had "drained the venom" from
Austin when he nailed him with the
hair last week. Said he assaulted Austin and got away with it.
McMahon said that all
three men will have a part in the demise of Austin at the
"Over the Edge"
PPV on Sunday. At that point, Steve Austin came down to the ring.
Austin told the officers to arrest Vince McMahon for assaulting
him on RAW last week. At that point,
the police officers took McMahon and handcuffed him with McMahon
resisting.
Patterson & Brisco tried to help McMahon out, but Austin
mentioned that what they were doing was "obstruction of
justice." At that point, the officers handcuffed
both Patterson & Brisco. Austin then opened up a can of beer
and told the officers to lock them all up. He then kicked McMahon
in the gut and poured the beer all over him.
Austin continued to taught all three men as the officers took
them away.
