"Gimme a Stunner, dammit!"

Vince McMahon: "Allow me to introduce to you the greatest WWF Champion of all time. Allow me to introduce to you the man, who'll lead Team WWF into Invasion. Allow me to introduce you to the man, who'll lead the Undertaker, Kane, Jericho and Angle into Invasion. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Stone Cold Steve Austin!

[Der amtierende WWF-Champion kommt zum Ring.]

You know Stone Cold, they say that since WrestleMania, you've changed. You maybe have. They say, that since WrestleMania, you've become more selfish than ever before, you've become uncaring. Matter of fact, many individuals feel as all, you've changed so much since WrestleMania, quite frankly you've become a very proficient brown-noser.

[Austin will Vince umarmen, der geht einen Schritt zurück.]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. That's what some people say, they say, you've changed and I think you have changed. As far as the WWF Champion is concerned I think you've changed for the better. But quite frankly, when we approach the single greatest threat to the World Wrestling Federation ever at Invasion, you know, I'm not so sure that, we don't need another change Stone Cold. I mean, quite frankly, the man that I need to lead Team WWF, even though I've appreciated it, is not the Stone Cold Steve Austin who gives me hugs. I don't need the leader of Team WWF, the Stone Cold Steve Austin that... that gives me gifts, cowboy hats and... and Steve you had your wife Debra make me cookies. Steve, I don't need the kind of Stone Cold Steve Austin, that strums a guitar and sings to me to lead me and lead Team WWF into Invasion, that's not what I need, Steve.

Dammit, you know what I need? You know who I need? I NEED THE OLD STONE COLD! I need the Stone Cold Steve Austin who's a bear-swilling, vile-mouth wrestle bitch! I need the kind of Stone Cold Steve Austin who don't take no *PIEP* from anybody. I need the kind of HELL-RAISING, HELL RAISING Stone Cold Steve Austin! I need the kind of Stone Cold Steve Austin, not that long ago who would look at me and if I parted my hair the wrong way, you would knock me on my ass!

That's the kind of leadership I need from you Stone Cold. I need you to lead Team WWF into Invasion, I need the OLD Stone Cold. Are you listening to me, dammit?! Huh? You want to knock me on my ass now? Huh? Come on, I can feel it, I know I can feel it can feel it in my guts! COME ON, COME ON, NAIL ME! COME ON, KNOCK ME DOWN! KNOCK ME DOWN! If you want Stone Cold Steve Austin to beat THE LIVING HELL out of Vince McMahon, give me a HELL YEAH! [Hell YEAH!]

[Stone Cold schüttelt den Kopf und Vince steht fassungslos mit offenem Mund vor ihm. Von Buhrufen begleitet verlässt Austin den Ring.]

Steve, wait, Steve, wait, Steve, don't leave this ring. Steve? Stone Cold? Stone Cold! I need you! I need you, Austin, to lead Team WWF! I need you at Invasion, Austin! Dammit, Stone Cold, turn around! Come back! Give me a stunner, dammit! [Austin bleibt kurz stehen, läuft dann aber weiter.] Come back! Austin! AUSTIN! GIVE ME A STUNNER! Stone Cold! [Vince lässt verzweifelt das Mikro fallen.]"
