[The leaders of The Corporation, Vince & Shane McMahon are in the ring with their "Corporate Champion" The Rock. They've just heard the revelation that Commissioner Shawn Michaels has (via a letter) booked The Rock in a match against Mankind later on, with the winner getting to referee tonight's main-event of Steve Austin versus Paul Wight]

Vince McMahon: "I'm sure Shawn Michaels is having his little fun in San Antonio, Texas - The Commissioner - that's alright. Rock, you won't mind, one more time, taking Mankind apart, will you?"

The Rock: "Matter of fact, The Rock will lay the smack down on his candy ass!"

Vince McMahon: "Much similar to the Greenwich Street Fight that we're going to see in Albany, New York. Check it out..." [the sound of glass breaking, as 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's theme music hits, leaving all three looking shocked... And Austin's making his way down the ramp, but he's not walking - he's driving a beer truck! He parks it ringside and climbs onto it's roof as the crowd goes wild]

Steve Austin: [to the crowd] "If you're ready for WrestleMania, give me a hell yeah! [the crowd responds with 'HELL YEAH'] You damn right, because 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin has been jerked around long enough! [to The Rock and the McMahons] And I will say this: With Paul Wight as the special referee [for the main event at WrestleMania] or without him, it really don't make a damn, because that belt is coming with me and that's all I got to say about that!

For the last few weeks-- [The Rock is shouting at Austin] Shut your little lips before I come down and punch your little glasses off right now! For the last few weeks I come out here and I listen to you spin your little nursery rhymes about 'Jabroni Avenue' or 'Know Your Role Boulevard', Jesus Christ son, you better get your ass serious because 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin is going to take his ass to Philadelphia, check right in to the Smackdown hotel, roll right into room 3:16 and burn that son-of-a-bitch to the ground!

You look at me - take your little glasses off, so I can see your eye balls, son, pull 'em off [The Rock whips his shades off] because I want you to look right here. When that bell rings, and the match is over, you are looking at the next WWF Champion and that's the bottom line cos 'Stone Cold' said so! [Austin drops from the roof of the truck to the hood]

And as far as right now goes, the big celebration afterwards, Stone Cold's gonna drink a hell of a lot of beer, but I think we oughta share a little pre-match beer right now!

The Rock: "I tell you what-- [Austin drops out of view] HEY! Stone Cold jabroni, you come out here and you make your idle threats like you're 'The Great One' but obviously you're not, so The Rock says you take that truck and drive it right back down 'Know Your Role Boulevard',[Austin has some kind of hose...] you drive it back to 'Jabroni Drive' and you check your candy-- [...and he's using it to spray beer! A torrent of lager hits The Rock and the McMahons right in the face, knocking them to the floor. All three men in the ring are absolutely soaked as Austin continues to spray them. Vince McMahon tries to 'swim' his way out of the ring, but it's no use. With his point made, Austin drops the hose and celebrates to the crowd to end the segment]

[9.0] "Everyone remembers the beer bath, but Austin's promo before it was top-tier. Intense, focused, and a perfect contrast to The Rock's style. One of his all time best, not just a spectacle"

[10.0] "One of the best Raw segments of all time! Obviously the beer bath is iconic and hilarious with Vince McMahon swimming in it being the icing on the cake, but this was also the first time you really see a heated Austin and Rock promo in the whole Wrestlemania build! Austin is just peak here, and I love his no nonsense promo style to counteract to The Rock's memorable catchphrases. He's very intense in this."

[10.0] "One of the most batshit crazy segments of all of Raw's episodes, and one of the best. Even Lawler and Cole are on fire here. I fucking love the moment where Vince tries to swim his way out of the beer, it's probably my favourite part of this segment. Absolute classic."
