Stunner

Wait a minute, Angle, the Angle Lock.

The Angle Lock, the team, the team, he's getting Shane McMahon on the apron, and Austin looking for the Stunner.

My God, Earl Hedman knocked out of the ring.

Booker T now, what a great opportunity.

Another Olympic slam.

Austin's up.

Stunner.

Damn it.

back, Noggin Knocker.

Stone Post Stunner.

Stunner to Regal, and now Austin focuses on Anglin.

Now where's

Rock going? The WL champion again, back in the ring.

Wait a minute.

Rikishi coming to the end of his wife, saving Debra from the stone.

Stunner, Stunner to Rikishi.

Couple punches, Lutez press, and then boom, and the Rays are going to score.

Lutez press and the Stone Cold Stunner.

That's what we paid to see.

No, I agree.

It's, this guy versus that guy, and what happens when they get in the ring with each other.

So no one's like, when they're thinking of The Rock versus Stone Cold and they want to see this match, no one's like, oh, I want to see The Rock bottom versus The Stunner, right? They just want to see when these two characters that are pretty clearly well-defined, what happens when they interact in a wrestling match.

And all those interactions happen with the moves, but it's every little microbe movement that, in between the moves as well, how they take the moves, how they react to the moves, how they, and now this person is in this situation and how do they react in that situation? You

know what I mean? So with all of this said, what's your approach to a promo? How do you get from, this is the idea I want to convey.

Steve Austin? Yeah.

Stone Cold Stunner.

What's the one that used to do People's Elbow?

That's The Rock.

One more champion appearing on Rattlesnake, Austin.

Shane McMahon on the apron and Austin looking for the Stunner.

My God, Earl Hedman knocked out of the ring.

Booker T now, what a great opportunity.

Another Olympic slam.

Austin's up.

Stunner.

Stunner.

It was supposed to be funny, and to be fair, Austin did everything he could to make the situation entertaining, but watching one of the most iconic performers in wrestling history attempt to generate excitement inside an empty building was awkward.

Eventually, Byron Saxton entered the ring, and Austin delivered a Stone Cold Stunner.

Becky Lynch also appeared to celebrate with Austin, but the entire segment felt like something that had been designed for a completely different environment, because it had.

In many ways, this was the first warning sign that the WWE was going to struggle during the pandemic.
