00:00Seven months ago, I told my boss, Mr. McMahon, to take this job and shove it, but Stone Cold
00:26Steve Austin got tired of sitting on his ass in the house, and everybody said, Austin can
00:31take his ball and go home, but Stone Cold Steve Austin is back, and by God, there he is!
00:38I didn't bring a ball with me, I brought a big fat can of whoop-ass, and I can guarantee
00:43that I am going to race more hell in this ring than I've ever raced in my life.
00:48The Rock said he was going to confront Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:56Austin, do you remember the last two times you went one-on-one with The Great One?
01:04I whipped your ass not once, but twice.
01:08Stone Cold, what you don't understand is this, The Rock has done it all!
01:14The seventh time WWE Champion, he's a leading man in Hollywood!
01:19Right!
01:20The one thing that The Rock has not done is whoop that long, candy ass up, Russell McMahon!
01:28So what do you say, Stone Cold, what do you say?
01:30You say, one, one, two, two, two at a time, one, one, two, two, two at a time, one, one, two, two, two at a time, come on y'all, it's three, two, one!
01:42Oh, this is showtime here!
01:44It's not about titles, it's not about money, this is personal!
01:50Here we go again!
01:51Right now, let's go, me and you, ta-ta, we can rock, we can roll!
02:01You're scared, I see it, and I can damn sure feel it!
02:05It's like a cancer in the soul of The Rock, he has never beaten Stone Cold at a WrestleMania!
02:12I don't wanna tell you, tell you to your face right now, don't try, don't try to give you peace of mind, mind!
02:22I'm a crack addict, that's right, I'm a crack addict, I'm addicted to cracking skulls with Boss Slug Static!
02:29It's The Rock with a Stone Cold Stunner, it's time to panic!
02:33The Count is at rock bottom, at rock bottom on Austin, I'm addicted to cracking skulls with Boss Slug Static!
02:39Static!
02:45Here we go again!
02:47Right now, let's go, me and you, ta-ta, we can rock, we can roll!
02:56Here we go again!
02:58Right now, let's go, me and you, ta-ta, we can rock, we can roll!
03:05It'll be The Rock, it'll be Austin one-on-one at WrestleMania.
03:11My God.
03:12Up Next
03:16is your host,
03:26This is the end of the game.
03:48The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
03:53Introducing first, from Miami, Florida,
03:58weighing 275 pounds, The Rock.
04:02Well, I gotta tell you, my hats off to Mr.
04:08McMahon and the Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
04:13Unbelievable street fight, and you hardly ever take your hat off.
04:20But you're right, it was unbelievable.
04:25The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin have got to come back to follow.
04:30The Rock, arguably the greatest third generation superstar in
04:35the history of our business.
04:38His late grandfather, the high chief, was a superstar.
04:43His father, Rocky Johnson, a tag team champion.
04:48This young man using the WWE, the springboard to Hollywood stardom.
04:53But the one thing that The Rock has never done, King,
04:58is he's never been a champion.
05:01And I truly believe it is eating him alive, and
05:06that is on the grandest stage that our business has to offer.
05:13The Rock has never defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania.
05:20You're right, and you're right, I have to agree with you.
05:28I think The Rock is obsessed with that now.
05:32It's a mission in life now.
05:35A multi-talented athlete,
05:38a member of the 91 National Championship.
05:43From Victoria, Texas,
05:48weighing 252 pounds, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
05:57He has earned the reputation as the toughest son of a bitch in the WWE.
06:06There is no one that has ever laced their boots any more intense,
06:12any more with a will to win than Stone Cold Steve Austin.
06:19He's a rattlesnake, all right?
06:22He is what's up at the feet.
06:25The prime event of Texas.
06:28Raised a country boy down in Texas.
06:31Grew up wanting to be here, wanting to do this.
06:35This is his life, this is his destiny.
06:41But the same can be said for Austin's adversary, The Rock.
06:48You can make a good point.
06:56Who is the greatest WWE champion of all time?
07:03A lot of argument, a lot of discussion can be had in that respect.
07:09But it could very well be one of these two men in the ring.
07:15Only time will tell.
07:19Tonight is going to go a long way.
07:23And The Rock is not singing songs.
07:26They were great though.
07:28That concert was great.
07:31He's not here to entertain us as he does in a Hollywood epic.
07:38His movies are great too, you know.
07:40I can't deny that.
07:43But this is WrestleMania.
07:44Here we go!
07:45And Austin blocks the right hand.
07:47The Texas Rattlesnake striking with fury from the early going here.
07:51Hard right hands on the break button.
07:54Straight right hands.
07:56And Austin tells the early hitter what he thinks about him as well.
08:00Oh, down stairs Austin.
08:02Oh, looking for the stunner.
08:03And The Rock dodged a big rattlesnake loaded bullet.
08:07I think The Rock realizes this.
08:09Oh, look out, Rock!
08:11Grief!
08:13Austin, it must be hitting The Rock.
08:15Rock, you've got to remember this all the time.
08:17You're in this match with The Rattlesnake.
08:19You'll never trust him.
08:24Out here in no man's land.
08:26Awake from-
08:27Work on-
08:28And The Rock!
08:29Come on, The Rock right across the ring steps.
08:32Face first.
08:33Is Steve Austin not realizing that The Rock is the leading man in Hollywood?
08:37Kid, this is WrestleMania, remember?
08:39This is WrestleMania!
08:40I know it's WrestleMania.
08:41You can't mess up The Rock's marquee facing.
08:45He has a Hollywood career.
08:47Oh, no, look out here!
08:50Dropped right on that security wall.
08:53Hard right hand by Austin.
08:55Taking The Rock right across our colleague, Michael Polentas.
09:01There's their ringside table.
09:05Austin is as nasty as any human being could ever be.
09:09He is a relentless, don't trust anybody, S.O.B.
09:15Watch it now.
09:19Dropped right across the railing again.
09:21It has been all Austin and-
09:23And what impact, what impact there?
09:26Stone cold with those cold blue eyes.
09:29Sending The Rock for the ride right through hell.
09:33Ending in a steel steps.
09:36Showing no respect whatsoever for the Scorpion King.
09:39Watch that again.
09:40Better yet, listen to this.
09:41Oh!
09:44We said earlier The Rock was a member of the 1991 National Championship Miami Hurricanes.
09:50A program almost to the level of the Oklahoma Sooners.
09:54But he was a national champion.
09:57Look at Austin stomping away.
10:01Just as McMahon and Hogan was personal.
10:04Just as that match was not about championships.
10:07Neither is this.
10:09This is one of the great rivalries that in my 30 years in the business,
10:13I've had the privilege of winning this match.
10:15And The Rock tried to cover up that head.
10:17But he was from that suplex by Stone Cold.
10:20There's a cover.
10:21And The Rock kicks out.
10:23That's a Hollywood head, JR.
10:25That Hollywood head makes millions of dollars in movies.
10:29Can't mess that head up.
10:32Swift with great velocity.
10:34Back to the lower back and kidneys of The Rock.
10:36And Austin again sending The Rock for a hellacious ride.
10:41You think that the Rattlesnake is jealous of the fact that Rock's a movie star?
10:46A rocket.
10:48Austin's a wrestler.
10:49That's what he wanted to be all his life.
10:51That's what he is.
10:52He's a wrestler.
10:53As intense as any wrestler I've ever seen.
10:57I applaud The Rock being multifaceted and being a star in Hollywood.
11:02I don't know that our fans share that same sentiment.
11:04But that's another issue.
11:06That's a fan's prerogative.
11:09Yes, The Rattlesnake.
11:12No, he's had no regard whatsoever for the rules.
11:15There you go.
11:16Downstairs.
11:17Downstairs to the knee with The Rock.
11:21Austin having a, well, I want to say a conversation.
11:25But he was confronting the referee.
11:27The Rock took the opportunity with Austin's back turn to chop that knee.
11:33That was a violent chop block.
11:35Right to the knee.
11:36And another one by The Rock.
11:39Right after that knee, and you can see Austin wearing two knee braces.
11:43He's had a history in his career of knee problems.
11:46And I don't know if those things are exactly legal.
11:48Those things are made out of metal.
11:49They could be used as a weapon.
11:51Well, what the hell would you make a knee brace out of?
11:53Cotton candy?
11:54Plastic?
12:01Focusing on that knee.
12:06Right across the television monitor of our SmackDown colleagues.
12:11And Austin trying to get back up.
12:13He's got to get some circulation back in that knee.
12:16I think our cameraman's down.
12:18Yes, he is.
12:19Cameraman's down.
12:20Hugo Savinovich in that violent street fight with McMahon and Hogan.
12:25In that bloodbath.
12:27Pebbles are destroyed.
12:29Bodies have been destroyed.
12:31And now can Austin-
12:33Because it's WrestleMania.
12:35That's what happens at WrestleMania.
12:37That's why WrestleMania's so great.
12:38Can Austin keep from being destroyed here by The Rock?
12:41And look at The Rock, zeroing in on that leg.
12:44Relentless in his pursuit to cripple Stone Cold Steve Austin.
12:51And you've got to look at this strategically for The Rock.
12:53If Austin is down, he can't utilize the Stone Cold Stunner.
13:00That's very smart.
13:01Smart thinking on the part of The Rock.
13:03Great strategy.
13:04I didn't agree with The Rock's opening strategy.
13:06He could go in there, go toe-to-toe, slug it out with the Rattlesnake.
13:08That wasn't smart.
13:09But now what he's doing is very smart.
13:11Austin has crippled Steve here from that leg.
13:14And now that knee wrapped around the ring post.
13:17Cameraman are taking a lot of abuse, aren't they?
13:19Austin's body got to be wrapped in pain.
13:22But he'll never quit on you, folks.
13:24Stone Cold has never quit on any of us in his entire life.
13:28Inside that ring.
13:29This is WrestleMania.
13:31And The Rock is determined to beat Stone Cold at WrestleMania.
13:34Stone Cold may have to quit tonight.
13:36This may be historic.
13:37Look at Austin fight back.
13:38Austin dancing with what from him.
13:40And that's that right hand.
13:41Another right hand.
13:42Rattles The Rock.
13:44Austin building momentum here.
13:46All over.
13:47He lowered the head.
13:48And The Rock goes back downstairs.
13:50Hey, look at this smart.
13:51Oh, my gosh.
13:52That's brilliant.
13:54Rock taunting this crowd that at one time adored him.
13:57Why are they doing this?
13:58They feel that The Rock has turned his back on the loyal fans of the WWE.
14:03How do you figure that?
14:04Explain that to me.
14:05I just said that's how they feel.
14:07Why?
14:08Oh, I guess if they had an opportunity.
14:09Why don't you go pole?
14:10I guess if these fans had an opportunity to be movie stars,
14:12they wouldn't take it, would they?
14:15Oh, look out here.
14:16Yeah, they don't want the limousine.
14:18They don't want the money.
14:19They don't want the women.
14:21Sharpshooter.
14:22Sharpshooter.
14:23The move perfected by one of the greatest of all time, Bret Hart.
14:27The sharpshooter by The Rock.
14:29Austin has been in this before.
14:31Remember WrestleMania.
14:33With Austin blowing down in space.
14:35With this move that Bret Hart applied so expertly.
14:40The excellence of execution.
14:42Right now, Austin is being perfectly executed by The Rock.
14:46Look at The Rock.
14:48Look at those Hollywood good looks on that face of his, JR.
14:51Austin trying to get to the ropes.
14:53I'm not worried, King, about Hollywood.
14:55For God's sakes, it ain't about Hollywood.
14:58It ain't about puppies.
15:00It ain't about nothing but a wrestling match between two of the greatest
15:04that have ever been in the ring.
15:07And right now, The Rock has got one thing.
15:10He's going to break Austin's legs or die trying.
15:13Yeah, that's right.
15:15Ooh, nice shot there by The Rock.
15:17Hard right hand right to the tether.
15:19And now The Rock using that leg break to bring Austin right back to that ring close.
15:24One more time.
15:25And a hard right hand.
15:27Tumorous right hand.
15:29I'll tell you what, this is not a no disqualification match.
15:33But referee Errol Hedlund is letting it go across into the wind
15:38as far as the rules are concerned.
15:40And I'm not denigrating him for that.
15:43Look at The Rock.
15:44That's tight on Stone Cold Steve Austin's chest.
15:48Everything looks good on The Rock.
15:50Totally disrespectful.
15:51What is that?
15:52That's all this is, is a total lack of respect.
15:55Drinking that Hollywood water.
15:57Was that Hollywood water?
16:00Oh, probably.
16:01Oh, yeah, sure was.
16:02You see all those film cameras around Austin now?
16:04WrestleMania the movie.
16:06They're fighting back.
16:09Reverse.
16:10Austin got reversed.
16:11Ducks it.
16:12Toes line.
16:13Oh, gosh.
16:14That was The Rock's head off.
16:15What a collision.
16:16Both men down.
16:18Both men down from that collision.
16:21Get up, Rock.
16:22Take that jacket off.
16:23It's unlucky.
16:24Jinx.
16:26Man, you're talking about this collision here.
16:29This is some serious ass impact.
16:33Boom.
16:35Flesh on flesh.
16:36Body on body.
16:38Nothing pretty about that.
16:41A hellacious physicality on display.
16:46Come on, Rock.
16:47You got to get up.
16:48You got to do it now, Rock.
16:49Get your feet, Rock.
16:51Austin's up somehow, some way.
16:53And so is The Rock.
16:54The will to win.
16:55Permeates the bodies of both these men.
16:57A hard right hand by Austin.
16:59Another right hand.
17:00Austin connects with a right.
17:02That's three in a row for The Rattlesnake.
17:04What do you got?
17:05No reverse.
17:06Elbow.
17:07And the Luke has passed.
17:08Oh, no.
17:09God bless Luthez.
17:10Lock him up.
17:11And the right hands by Austin.
17:12Oh, they're being blocked.
17:13The Rock's trying to cover up.
17:15Cover up.
17:16Block him.
17:17Piston-locked right hands by The Texas Rattlesnake.
17:20Get in there, referee.
17:21Do your job.
17:22Disqualify him.
17:24Stone Cold has beaten the hell out of The Rock with right hands.
17:28Oh, hell yeah.
17:30The elbow.
17:31The elbow.
17:32The hook of the leg.
17:34That's close.
17:36Somehow, someway, The Resilient Rock.
17:40I'm going to tell you something.
17:42Ever since The Rock put on that Stone Cold vest,
17:44he hasn't been winning in a long time.
17:46Come on, Rock.
17:47Get that vest on.
17:48Come on.
17:49I think it's mohawk time.
17:50Excuse me.
17:53Austin trying to stomp that mohawk and walk it dry.
17:57Who the hell are the rules?
17:59Yeah, right.
18:00Austin has never cared about rules.
18:02He's never said he was a role model.
18:04Yeah.
18:05He'd probably like to have Austin as the president.
18:07If he was the national bird, we'd see the finger.
18:09Oh, look at this.
18:10Oh, no.
18:11Here we go.
18:12Great move by The Rock.
18:13The clothesline.
18:14The nip up.
18:15Austin is down.
18:18There you go.
18:19And if I were The Rock, I wouldn't waste any time here
18:22on this Texas Rattlesnake.
18:24Oh, no.
18:25Oh, no.
18:26Right bottom.
18:27He can't do that to The Rock.
18:29Austin just used the rock bottom on The Rock himself.
18:33Oh, no.
18:34This is bad.
18:35There's a hook to the leg.
18:37Oh, no.
18:40And how humiliating and embarrassing would it
18:43be for The Rock to lose at the hands of not necessarily
18:48to Austin, but to lose to The Rock bottom.
18:51Yeah, please take that vest off.
18:56Oh, look at this.
18:57Look at The Rattlesnake.
18:58Look at that intensity.
18:59That's just like snake eyes.
19:01Inside that body beats the heart of an animal,
19:04a wrestling animal.
19:06Watch it rocking right behind you.
19:08And the great one, the great third generation star is up.
19:13Oh, look at The Rock.
19:14There you go.
19:17Ta-da.
19:18Oh, no.
19:19Not the starter.
19:20Oh, baby.
19:22And now will The Rock beat The Rattlesnake?
19:25The Rattlesnake's own Stone Cold Stunner.
19:27That was precious.
19:28That was a thing of beauty.
19:30Yes.
19:31Rock dug deep down and pulled out a stunner,
19:33a Stone Cold Stunner, JR.
19:36Get him over.
19:37Rock turning Austin over, looking for a cover.
19:41And look at this arrogant cover.
19:43Austin kicked out.
19:46Austin kicked out.
19:47And The Rock wanted to hear three in the worst way.
19:52Come on, Rock.
19:53Give him another stunner.
19:55Got to be in the movie, you know.
19:56They're making WrestleMania the movie.
19:58Rock, you know, you wore me out with WrestleMania the movie.
20:01How many times are you going to plug that?
20:03That's movie, people.
20:04Got to stick together.
20:07Come on, Rock.
20:08You got him.
20:09That vest says bulletproof.
20:11The Rock has not been bulletproof thus far.
20:15But neither has Austin.
20:17Austin on one leg, back up.
20:19The Rock connects with a big right hand.
20:22Another thunderous shot.
20:26Austin still standing.
20:28Yeah.
20:29Rock misses a right.
20:31A stunner.
20:32A stunner.
20:33Oh, my God.
20:34Austin almost got The Rock out of the vest.
20:37This thing's going to move all over again.
20:39Rock's on his back.
20:41Austin's down as well.
20:42A cover.
20:43He got it.
20:44Oh, my God.
20:45Good God, how close was that?
20:47Oh, come on, Rock.
20:49This is amazing.
20:51Rock kicked out of Stone Cold Stunner.
20:56What are you going to do now, Austin?
20:58What do you got left in your repertoire?
21:00This is an amazing, amazing matchup.
21:03He's confused now.
21:04He's thinking, oh, what can I do?
21:06If the stunner didn't work, what can I do now?
21:08Austin back on his feet.
21:11Oh, look at this.
21:12This is not about a referee.
21:13It's not about-
21:14It's all about low blow.
21:16And that move backfired on Austin.
21:18He got the referee out of the way.
21:20And with the referee's back turned, The Rock delivered a low blow.
21:24Oh, The Rock is smart.
21:25Way down in shock, Texas, was that low blow.
21:33I just want to see one people's elbow just one time tonight.
21:39Oh, wait a minute.
21:41Austin's got the low blow, and now The Rock is thinking.
21:44He's thinking.
21:45And he knows probably what he's thinking about.
21:47This is for the people.
21:48We got 54,000 plus right here in San Francisco
21:52and millions watching around the world.
21:54This is for all you people out there.
21:56Steve Austin electrifying move in sports entertainment today.
22:00The people down with Austin.
22:02Good grief.
22:04Austin looking for the stunner again.
22:06No.
22:07And The Rock's Firebuster.
22:09Firebuster by The Rock.
22:11Yeah, get rid of that jacket.
22:12Now you're ready to go.
22:14One more time.
22:16In the movie world, that's called a retake.
22:19No, give it to him.
22:20People's elbow.
22:21Yes.
22:22The Rock scores with the elbow.
22:24Will it be enough?
22:25There's a cover.
22:26It's going to be over.
22:28The hook of the leg.
22:29Don't stop.
22:30Can you not count the three referees?
22:32The referee refuses to die.
22:35Rock, what are you going to do?
22:37Come on, Rock.

23:00He better be wrestling and not talking here.
23:02Turn around now, Rattlesnake.
23:04Austin trying to pull himself up.
23:06And he does.
23:07That's what I'm talking about.
23:08That's what I'm talking about.

23:10The Rock Martial on Austin.
23:12It's over.
23:13The Rock.
23:14No, it's not.
23:15My God, it's not over.
23:17I got him.
23:18Austin tipped out.
23:19And The Rock can't believe it.
23:21Look at The Rock.
23:22Look at the look on The Rock's face.
23:24Now he's wondering what it's going to take.
23:26Stone Cold has survived The Rock Bottom.
23:29He's survived The People's Elbow.
23:31What else does Rock trip claw?
23:33How many men can you name that have tipped out of The Rock Bottom?
23:37It's a short list, folks.
23:39Let me tell you.
23:40And look at the intensity of The Great One.
23:42That's a look of determination.
23:44The Rock is determined to beat Stone Cold Steve Austin here in WrestleMania.
23:48You got to do it, Rock.
23:50Austin's knee has been ripped.
23:53He just suffered from a Rock Bottom.
23:55Another one.
23:56He's trying to.
23:57Another Rock Bottom.
23:58Austin fighting desperately out of it.
23:59And look.
24:00Pulled right back in.
24:01And Rock Bottom.
24:02Rock Bottom.
24:03Rock Bottom 2.
24:04And that'll be it.
24:05The second Rock Bottom.
24:07That's going to be it.
24:09Austin.
24:10My God, I don't believe it.
24:11I don't either.
24:12My God, I don't believe it.
24:14This referee can't count to three.
24:16And The Rock doesn't believe it.
24:18It ain't got nothing to do with mathematics.
24:21Come on, Rock.
24:22Austin tipped out.
24:23Get up, Rock.
24:25Get to your feet and stomp a mud hole in that rattlesnake.
24:30Uh-oh.
24:31Look at The Rock.
24:32He's ticking out.
24:33This is it, JR.
24:35Two Rock Bottoms.
24:37Austin tipped out of them both.
24:40The will to win by Austin is unparalleled.
24:43But the talent of The Rock.
24:45Not another one.
24:46Unparalleled as well.
24:47Look at The Rock.
24:48He's like the Scorpion King.
24:50He's coiled.
24:51He's coiled to strike.
24:53Austin trying to pull himself up with every fiber in his being.
24:57With his heart racing.
24:59With his guts and knots.
25:01You better stay down.
25:02Austin trying to get up.
25:03Stay down on the mat, Austin.
25:04You'll have a shorter distance to fall after you get this Rock Bottom.
25:07Austin's up somehow.
25:09Some way.
25:10And The Rock, is he going to do it?
25:12Not a third time.
25:13The third time's the charm.
25:15Big one.
25:16Got him.
25:17Third Rock Bottom.
25:18A third Rock Bottom.
25:20A hook of the leg.
25:22And The Rock has done it.
25:24History has been made.
25:26Here is your winner, Austin.
25:30Unbelievable.
25:31It took three Rock Bottoms.
25:35But The Rock has finally broken the jinx.
