00:00The main event here tonight for the WWF Championship.
00:06This has been a war.
00:08We saw what these two men did at SummerSlam to each other, but
00:11it didn't stop there.
00:12Austin at SummerSlam,
00:18I was nice enough to kick out of three Stone Cold Stunners.
00:22My God, Angle kicked out, and Austin cannot believe it.
00:25Only to see yourself get disqualified.
00:28The three referees, Austin has taken out.
00:30Because you realize you couldn't be your Olympic hero.
00:33Kurt Angle just got screwed by God out of the WWF title.
00:38Then the following night, you had your little Austin appreciation night.
00:43And again, I was nice enough to drive all the way in.
00:46Kurt Angle's driving a milk truck.
00:48And supply you with some good, wholesome milk.
00:51Milko Mania is running wild.
00:54And Austin and the Alliance getting humiliated by Kurt Angle.
00:59Stone Cold will not forget this night.
01:04Kurt Angle has been bitten by the Rattlesnake.
01:07Come on, Austin is putting Kurt Angle's gold medals around his neck.
01:11Those medals symbolize everything that Kurt Angle is about.
01:15You said I'd never have none of these.
01:17Stone Cold Steve Austin's got two of them.
01:19They belong to you.
01:20I said they belong to you, Kurt.
01:21What will you do, Kurt, to get these gold medals back?
01:25Are you too proud to beg for them, Kurt?
01:27Get on your hands and knees and cry for me, Kurt.
01:29Go ahead, cry.
01:29Cry for me, Kurt.
01:31This is what means everything to me.
01:33These mean nothing to me.
01:35If you won't beg for me, if you won't cry for me, they don't mean nothing to you.
01:40I'm the king of the world.
01:47Kurt Angle with a weapon, just hit Austin in the back of the head.
01:54And the Rattlesnake is down.
01:56Where is Kurt Angle going with Stone Cold?
01:58I'm gonna do the same thing that you did to my gold medals.
02:02Cry for me, Austin.
02:07Cry for me, Austin.
02:08What?
02:09I'm so sorry.
02:13You're pathetic.
02:14You're a joke.
02:16Come on, Austin, cry.
02:18Come on, come on, cry, Austin.
02:19There's one thing I want more than anything.
02:23I want a return match for the WWF title.
02:25You got it.
02:26When?
02:27Unforgiven.
02:28What?
02:28I've been humiliated and embarrassed for the last time by Kurt Angle.
02:33I'm gonna whip somebody's ass tonight, cuz I cannot wait for Unforgiven.
02:38Wait, my God, Austin just threw Kurt Angle right off the stage.
02:42Stone Cold Steve Austin has made a powerful statement.
02:45You will not embarrass Stone Cold Steve Austin.
02:48You're a desperate man, Austin, cuz when you look at me,
02:51you know that I am the one man that in your mind can beat you.
02:55Days could be numbered for the WWF Champion, Stone Cold.
02:59Kurt, Stone Cold Steve Austin is gonna make an example out of you.
03:03What?
03:03Stone Cold Steve Austin's out of control.
03:05That is a sick human being.
03:07No, my God, no, no.
03:09Austin makes me sick.
03:11This belt is mine.
03:12It's all mine.
03:13Austin and Unforgiven, I will walk out of my home town.
03:18The World Wrestling Federation Champion.
03:20It's true, it's damn true.
03:23And you just gotta imagine how physically intense this confrontation for
03:27the richest prize in our business will be.
03:30["WRECKING BALL"]
03:36["WRECKING BALL"]
03:47Were you listening to this?
03:49Were you listening to this?
03:50Ovation.
03:51A standing ovation.
03:53Kurt Angle is home.
03:55The Netherland Conference, scheduled for one fall, is home to a world-class mediation convention.
04:09Coming up to it in the ring, the challenger from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, leading 237 pounds, Kurt Angle.
04:22Kurt Angle has over 15 members of his family here tonight, live, here in the middle of the arena, including his mother Jackie.
04:32There they are, at ringside. That's his mom Jackie.
04:36Kurt lost his father when he was 16 years old, and Jackie raising four sons and a daughter.
04:45What a family. They are made of good stuff, I'll tell you that.
04:52It's not gonna do Angle any good, because to become the WWE Champion,
04:58Kurt Angle has to beat Stone Cold Steve Austin.
05:02Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle going to meet the Rattlesnake.
05:06This match, one fall, to a finish for the WWF title.
05:11And Kurt Angle was so much venom, it was Austin who turned in Angle's career just a few days ago.
05:18It was a miracle that Austin, oh my God,
05:21that Austin didn't put Angle out of the business forever with a Tomb Raider on the concrete.
05:27This match should not be happening.
05:29Kurt Angle does not have medical clearance to wrestle tonight.
05:34But WWF Commissioner William Regal is taking personal responsibility for Kurt Angle's win here.
05:41You think Angle wouldn't run for this title?
05:43Look at this, Angle assaulting the Texas Rattlesnake.
05:47The nastiest, most evil and sinister human being,
05:51walking the face of the earth from where I sit.
05:54Mark the date down, Sunday, September 24, 2001.
05:59The day Stone Cold finally shuts up JR with your stupid bold prediction
06:05that Kurt Angle will be the-
06:07But Austin, Austin, Austin, he's reluctant.
06:11He's timid about delivering that stutter.
06:14And he who hesitates could be beat.
06:19Kurt Angle, Angle with a lute-fast press.
06:22Angle taking out Austin with a bold and lute-fast press.
06:26One of Austin's signature maneuvers.
06:28I've never seen Austin hesitate to hit the stutter before.
06:32That means that Kurt Angle is inside the paranoid head of the Rattlesnake.
06:37Many have predicted Austin is on the brink of insanity.
06:42Kurt Angle jumping away.
06:45Most great leaders are on the brink of insanity.
06:48And willing to jump off if necessary.
06:51Stone Cold hesitated because he knows in his heart, Paul,
06:54he can't beat Kurt Angle in a straight-up fair one-on-one matchup.
06:59Austin couldn't get it done at SummerSlam.
07:02And Austin found himself pinned by Kurt Angle just last week
07:06in a tag team matchup.
07:08Austin knows he can't beat Kurt Angle.
07:10Well, I disagree with you.
07:12I think Stone Cold tonight will shut up his critics.
07:15Most definitely do.
07:17Kurt Angle should not be here tonight.
07:19Kurt Angle should have relinquished his title shot.
07:23Austin so sadistic.
07:24And there's Kurt Angle hammering Austin.
07:26Austin has had his chair neck problems as well.
07:29Austin, that's what makes it so sick and sadistic
07:32because Austin, he knew just exactly what he wanted to do to Kurt Angle.
07:36Austin's career almost ended.
07:38He had his final surgery.
07:40It looked like he would never come back, but he did.
07:43And he wanted to put Kurt Angle through that same torment,
07:46through that same heartbreak and the uncertainty himself.
07:49I think Kurt Angle tonight has shown that he is just as sick
07:53and just as sadistic as Stone Cold Steve Austin.
07:56And you got to fight that fire with the same fire
07:59that Kurt Angle came here tonight to win the WWF title.
08:03It's not that he just wants to do it.
08:05He has to do it for the World Wrestling Federation
08:08and our fans, for all of us.
08:10Who's us?
08:14Angle turned that neck.
08:16Angle reaching back for that neck,
08:18and that may have been an ill-advised offensive maneuver by Kurt Angle.
08:21Angle now looking for the cover.
08:23Will this be enough here in the early going?
08:25And Austin took a long two count before being able to kick out.
08:29But Kurt Angle's got to be very, very careful
08:32in the type of offense that he executes here tonight.
08:35Because you know if Austin gets a chance, Paul,
08:37Austin's gonna try to exploit that injured neck of Angle.
08:40Stone Cold Steve Austin will whip it to Kurt Angle
08:43like a shark that smells blood.
08:46And that blood will be on the hands
08:48of the Commissioner William Regal.
08:52I'll tell you one thing.
08:53Austin, we saw at the beginning of the matchup,
08:55very hesitant.
08:56There's a super by Austin to deliver the stunner.
08:58Because Angle has countered that stunner
09:00on more than one occasion right into the ankle lock.
09:03And I don't give a damn who you are.
09:05Gross neck or not.
09:06Raising red neck or not.
09:08That ankle lock will put anybody down.
09:10You'll be tapping when Angle gets that move on you.
09:13Austin cannot afford for that to happen.
09:15Look how Austin pulls back on the neck,
09:18stretches out the trapezius muscles.
09:20Look how Austin is wearing down Kurt Angle,
09:24and Angle's-
09:26Kurt Angle,
09:27who three months before the Olympic Trials
09:30broke his neck in the U.S. Open competition.
09:33He was inactive, obviously, for several weeks.
09:36Had eight days to train for the Olympic Trials.
09:39He won it.
09:40And of course, the rest is history.
09:42In 96, Kurt Angle, the first American in history
09:45to win a gold medal in freestyle wrestling
09:48in the 220-pound category.
09:49But there's never been an Olympic competitor
09:52as brutal as Stone Cold Steve Austin.
09:55Well, you might be right about that,
09:56because whether I like the son of a-
09:58Whether I like the-
09:59Whether I like him or not,
10:00he's perhaps the greatest WWF champion of all time.
10:04And now, wait a minute.
10:05Wait a minute, this match is not over.
10:07I may take that back.
10:08Great champions don't-
10:09Great champions aren't count.
10:11Great champions don't take a walk.
10:13And that's what Austin's doing.
10:14He's walking away from the fight.
10:17And Kurt Angle giving chase to the Rattlesnake.
10:21And Neil Austin down goes the WWF gold.
10:24Austin was trying to leave here.
10:26No, sir, Steve Austin was just gaining his breath.
10:30Steve Austin was just trying to-
10:31He need the belt.
10:32He need the belt to regain his breath.
10:33He's not gonna leave the title behind.
10:35The man sold his soul twice for that title.
10:38Man, that is a stretch.
10:39He's gaining his breath, folks.
10:41He was taking a walk because it got a little hot
10:44in the kitchen for the Rattlesnake
10:46and Kurt Angle in his hometown,
10:48where we are absolutely sold out here in the middle arena.
10:52Has one thing on his mind,
10:54and that is to leave with a WWF title.
10:57Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
11:00Kurt Angle just threw Stone Cold to the concrete floor
11:05right off that ring plate.
11:07Shades of what Austin did to Angle a couple of weeks ago.
11:11Now, I suppose you're gonna tell me
11:12that Kurt Angle would not have thrown Steve Austin off the bridge.
11:17Of course not.
11:18He had a kiddie pool there.
11:20Where were you when that aired?
11:21Please.
11:22Sitting right next to you, unfortunately.
11:24Kurt Angle, right now,
11:26is as violent and brutal as Stone Cold Steve Austin.
11:30Yeah, you're right.
11:31You're right about that.
11:32It is, and it's gonna get worse.
11:33I got a feeling, because Kurt Angle is justified
11:36in what he just did.
11:37Austin threw Angle off the stage
11:39on Raw a couple of weeks ago.
11:41And what a page-turner of Austin's sign language.
11:45And Kurt Angle wearing Stone Cold out.
11:48Look at Austin's chest getting beaten to the surface.
11:52And Angle hammering, chopping to the face,
11:55kicks to the gut.
11:57Austin had the audacity to throw Kurt Angle's gold medals
12:01off a bridge outside Detroit.
12:03How can this man display that behavior
12:06in front of his own mother?
12:08Because he came to win, Paul.
12:10Because Austin has provoked Kurt Angle.
12:14What is Kurt Angle doing here?
12:17Kurt Angle's gonna make sure that Austin
12:19doesn't take another hike.
12:22This is not right!
12:23This is not fair!
12:26Kurt Angle carrying Stone Cold back to the ring.
12:29That's where you conduct your business.
12:31It's gotta be finalized inside that square circle,
12:34not on the floor.
12:35This is not a hardcore match,
12:37even though it has resembled one.
12:43Oh, man.
12:44Did you hear the splat of Austin's skull
12:46in that ring, Paul?
12:47I sure did.
12:48And Kurt Angle should be disqualified.
12:50Why, he won't be disqualified.
12:52Why?
12:53Because look who the referee is,
12:55the WWF's favorite son, Earl David Hedlund.
12:58And Earl Hedlund taking a page out
13:00of Nick Patrick's playbook.
13:02Just let him play.
13:03Just let him go.
13:06What's Kurt thinking here?
13:12What are you doing?
13:14Don't stoop to that level, Kurt.
13:17You've got too much character to do that.
13:20JR, this isn't even sand.
13:22No!
13:23Don't do this!
13:24Angle exploding.
13:27JR, stop this man!
13:28And Austin up and off to the knee
13:30to the spine of Kurt Angle.
13:32Kurt Angle exposing those mats.
13:34And you've got to believe Angle
13:36had one thing on his mind,
13:38and that was to drop Austin
13:40right on his head.
13:42Look at this.
13:43Kurt Angle did all the work,
13:44and now see Austin taking advantage
13:47of Kurt Angle ripping up the mats.
13:50Angle's neck being chopped back
13:52in that whiplash effect from this table.
13:56It was Austin.
13:57Oh, my God.
13:58Last Thursday night,
14:00Kyle broke Kurt Angle
14:02right on the exposed concrete floor
14:05in this very same position,
14:07just exactly like-
14:08Oh, come on.
14:09Don't do it.
14:11Don't do it!
14:12Don't do it!
14:13You're crippling a man!
14:15And Angle counters into the back body drop.
14:21Kurt Angle countering into the back body drop,
14:24and now Angle working with that neck
14:26of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
14:28Why doesn't Hebner stop this already?
14:32Austin.
14:33Austin been busted open here
14:35right above his eye.
14:38Angle a hard tap.
14:39A hard tap on the WWF champion,
14:42Stone Cold Steve Austin.
14:43Just getting a help beat out of him here
14:45by the challenger.
14:47I'll tell you what,
14:48you can't be enjoying this.
14:51This match is certainly-
14:52Oh, no, no, no!
14:53Kurt, don't do it.
14:54Don't do this!
14:55Stop him, Hebner!
14:56You'll regret it for the rest of your life!
14:58Don't do it!
15:01Good God almighty.
15:02Kurt Angle's flying first,
15:04much like Austin just a few moments ago
15:07right on the exposed glute.
15:09Everything about this match is so unfair.
15:12Hebner as the official,
15:14that's unfair.
15:15The fact that this type of match-
15:16Kurt's got to hurt his neck.
15:18Watch Angle's body.
15:20Watch Angle's body bounce
15:22right on the concrete.
15:25Pressure went right up to his neck.
15:27Like I was getting in a car accident.
15:31We do not know the extent
15:32exactly of Kurt Angle's injury.
15:34I know that may sound crazy,
15:36but he will not-
15:37He's not telling.
15:38He's not talking.
15:40Mr. Regal knows, but-
15:42Oh, no.
15:45Angle looking for that suplex.
15:47Austin trying to block it.
15:48Oh, my God!
15:50Austin suplexing Angle.
15:52Abdomen first,
15:53right on the only Spanish announced tape.
15:59Piece of that wood shattered
16:01on Kurt Angle's body.
16:02Just rammed it.
16:03Man, that was a hell of a counter
16:05by the Rattlesnake.
16:06Let me tell you,
16:07you give the devil his due.
16:09Oh, my God!
16:10One more.
16:15Austin has Kurt Angle now,
16:18perhaps where the WWE Champion wants him.
16:22And this has turned ugly.
16:23Uglier.
16:24And it may get uglier
16:25before it gets all said and done.
16:29Well, the temper was dictated by Angle.
16:32And Stone Cold Steve Austin
16:35has risen to the occasion.
16:38Angle has had to compete
16:40on numerous occasions
16:41through serious injury.
16:43Notwithstanding,
16:44what we've already talked about,
16:45the Olympics and the broken neck.
16:47But this has taken a certain place else.
16:49And Angle fighting back.
16:50And Austin desperately
16:51punching the eyes
16:52out of desperation.
16:53And not just the third time,
16:56Angle hung out to dry
16:58his thighs, his abdomen.
17:02And everything in between
17:04on that announced table.
17:05And Austin just threw the camera man down.
17:07No one is safe around this psychotic maniac.
17:10God, I never liked that camera man anyway.
17:14Austin busted open.
17:16And Angle,
17:17off of that corner of the elbow,
17:19right into the neck of Kurt Angle.
17:21Ladies and gentlemen,
17:22you have the privilege of watching
17:24the greatest WWF Champion
17:26of all time,
17:28Stone Cold Steve Austin.
17:31In the camp of the Alliance,
17:32I might add.
17:33Finally putting Kurt Angle
17:35back in the ring.
17:37Austin may be in the Alliance.
17:39He sold his soul twice
17:40to be the WWF Champion.
17:42And then Kurt Angle
17:43fighting back with everything
17:44he can muster.
17:46But will it be enough
17:47on this night in his hometown
17:49as Austin with those
17:50flat knee braces.
17:51He buried one of them
17:52right into the lower abdomen
17:54of Kurt Angle
17:55after three shots
17:56on the announced table.
17:57And now Angle,
17:58oh my,
17:59Kurt holding that neck.
18:01And you gotta be very careful
18:02if you're a referee.
18:03Oh my God.
18:05Did you see that?
18:06Yes I did.
18:07Measuring that,
18:08that thing that is sitting there.
18:09I not only saw it,
18:10I condone it
18:11and I applaud it.
18:12Right in the neck.
18:14It is the neck.
18:15The story is the neck.
18:17And Kurt Angle's neck
18:18is being punished
18:19by Stone Cold Steve Austin.
18:21And Austin now looking
18:22at Kurt Angle's mother
18:24and his family
18:25sitting at ringside
18:26with an evil glare
18:28at Kurt Angle's mother.
18:30Now what sorry
18:31son of a bitch
18:32would do that?
18:33The WWF Champion,
18:35your former hero,
18:37Stone Cold Steve Austin.
18:39Austin hammering
18:40at Kurt Angle
18:41who's lying helplessly
18:42pricked on that bottom rope.
18:44And now Austin's standing
18:45on the neck.
18:47And Referee Earl Hebner,
18:48he's gotta live
18:49for this matchup.
18:50He's gotta live
18:51for this decision
18:52as the referee.
18:53And somewhere along the way
18:54you gotta realize
18:55that Kurt Angle
18:56may not compete again
18:58if this one continues
18:59at this pace.
19:00And now look at Angle.
19:01Austin just did
19:02Kurt Angle's
19:03family a favor.
19:05Now how classy is that?
19:07Steve Austin's not here
19:09to be a class act.
19:10Stone Cold is here
19:12to be the WWF Champion.
19:14The greatest WWF Champion
19:16of all time.
19:17And Stone Cold
19:18out predicted JR
19:20will successfully
19:21defend the title
19:22here tonight
19:23at Unforgiven.
19:24And Kurt Angle
19:25aboard at the top
19:26right here
19:27for Stone Cold.
19:29Austin,
19:30went to the far side.
19:31But Kurt Angle,
19:32eat some sea leather
19:33coming in.
19:34I'm sticking with Kurt Angle.
19:35He's,
19:36he just,
19:37not as he wanted.
19:38He's gotta win it.
19:39Kurt Angle's gotta
19:40win it here tonight.
19:41But that neck,
19:42that may be the downfall
19:43of Kurt Angle.
19:45Cover.
19:46Looking for the cover.
19:47And Kurt Angle
19:48kicking out.
19:49Maybe ill-advised.
19:50Maybe Kurt Angle
19:51should have stayed down.
19:52But that's not
19:53what Kurt Angle,
19:54he's not a quitter.
19:56Well I can see
19:57the intensity.
19:58And I can see the
19:59integrity.
20:00But I'm sure as hell
20:01don't see the
20:02intelligence
20:03of Kurt Angle
20:05trying to fight
20:06Stone Cold Steve Austin.
20:08Austin is a
20:09merciless individual.
20:10And Austin will
20:11break Angle's neck
20:12if he gets the chance.
20:14Austin twisted that
20:15Snapmare taking
20:16Angle over.
20:17And now reaching that
20:18reverse chin lock.
20:19It may look like
20:20an elementary maneuver
20:21and perhaps the
20:22execution of it is.
20:23But Austin is making
20:24Kurt Angle
20:25carry Austin's weight
20:26as well.
20:27Austin's got the
20:28neck crimped.
20:29And you can only
20:30imagine, ladies and
20:31gentlemen, you can
20:32only imagine the
20:33pain that must be
20:34shooting through
20:35Kurt Angle's body
20:36as we speak.
20:37Well this title match
20:38should never have
20:39happened in the
20:40first place.
20:41Why do you say that?
20:42Well because
20:43Kurt Angle's gonna
20:44throw Steve Austin
20:45off a bridge.
20:46He was not.
20:47This agreement
20:48was made under
20:49duress.
20:50Now my father is
20:51a lawyer and I
20:52can tell you
20:53that is illegal.
20:54That contract
20:55is now in void.
20:56I applaud.
20:57Your father's a
20:58lawyer.
20:59Your daddy's a
21:00lawyer.
21:01Imagine that.
21:02That's right.
21:03I can tell you
21:04as a lawyer's son
21:05that Stone Cold
21:06should have backed
21:07out of this match.
21:08But the hero,
21:09the great American
21:10that Stone Cold is
21:11Stone Cold agreed
21:12to fight Kurt Angle
21:13in Angle's own hometown.
21:14Austin is no
21:15great American
21:16let me tell you.
21:17I don't care what
21:18the ambulance
21:19stations in the
21:20world say or
21:21they don't as
21:22Austin.
21:23He's got him
21:24in Austin.
21:25Oh boy.
21:26He barely
21:27kicked out.
21:28Cover.
21:29One.
21:30Two.
21:31And referee Earl
21:32Henry, even though
21:33he's on the outside
21:34of the ring,
21:35tried to do the
21:36right thing and
21:37get the count
21:38because Angle's
21:39shoulders were down.
21:40And now Austin
21:41again.
21:42Angle's head
21:43shooting back
21:44in that neck.
21:45And Austin
21:46focusing around
21:47that neck.
21:48He is a
21:49cold-hearted
21:50sadistic
21:51little human
21:52being.
21:54No, really.
21:55You're amazing,
21:56aren't you?
21:57He is a vicious,
21:58sadistic,
21:59animalistic
22:00individual.
22:01He is a heinous
22:02human being.
22:03And Kurt
22:04Angle trying to
22:05fight.
22:06Oh, wait a minute.
22:07Wait, wait, wait.
22:08And then you
22:09hit that just
22:10right.
22:11And I don't care
22:12whose neck you
22:13have.
22:14I don't care
22:15if it's Austin or
22:16Angle.
22:17Austin, his
22:18neck is being
22:19tested here.
22:20Kurt Angle's
22:21got to be very
22:22concerned about
22:23the execution of
22:24these offensive
22:25maneuvers.
22:26And another
22:27German suplex.
22:28Uh-oh.
22:29That one got
22:30Kurt.
22:31Angle, a victim
22:32of his own
22:33suplex there.
22:34He's got a
22:3520-inch neck.
22:36It may need to
22:37be a 40-inch
22:38neck to
22:39survive this
22:40onslaught by
22:41Stone Cold.
22:42But at least
22:43Austin now knows
22:44how it feels to
22:45have that pain
22:46shooting up his
22:47neck.
22:48Oh, Austin
22:49knows all about
22:50pain.
22:51And Austin's
22:52going to teach
22:53Kurt Angle about
22:54pain.
22:55Angle should
22:56not be in this
22:57match.
22:58He's not medically
22:59cleared to wrestle.
23:00But he's here.
23:01He's fighting.
23:02His heart doesn't
23:03know he's hurt.
23:04And Kurt Angle
23:05now taking a chance
23:06and will pay for
23:07it there.
23:08Kurt Angle
23:09deviating from
23:10that ground attack
23:11from those suplexes
23:12to take a chance.
23:13And he may pay
23:14the supreme
23:15price here.
23:16Angle almost
23:17out on that
23:18top turnbuckle
23:19or at least
23:20it would seem.
23:21And Angle,
23:22oh,
23:23and Kurt Angle,
23:24Kurt Angle
23:25counted Austin.
23:26Across body
23:27and a near fall.
23:28One second
23:29away.
23:30Kurt Angle was
23:31one second away
23:32from realizing
23:33his dream.
23:34And that's as
23:35close as he's
23:36going to get.
23:37Because this
23:38story does not
23:39have a happy
23:40ending.
23:41Well, this
23:42story has yet
23:43to be
23:44concluded.
23:45This story
23:46is untold.
23:47It has
23:48to be
23:49told.
23:50It's not
23:51over.
23:52There's chapters
23:53to be written
23:54in this Kurt
23:55Angle saga.
23:56And that was
23:57a low blow.
23:58I can't tell
23:59if you are
24:00pro-Kurt
24:01Angle or just
24:02anti-Steve
24:03Austin.
24:04I think Kurt
24:05Angle
24:06just took a low
24:07blow.
24:08That's what I
24:09think.
24:10I think Austin
24:11just tried to
24:12get himself
24:13disqualified.
24:14And he's
24:15being admonished
24:16by referee
24:17Earl
24:18to get the
24:19hell out
24:20of Pittsburgh.
24:21And so
24:22coldly to get
24:23the hell out
24:24of Pittsburgh
24:25as the
24:26WWF champion.
24:27And he
24:28will.
24:29Austin now
24:30hard shot
24:31to Kurt
24:32Angle.
24:33And they're
24:34right in front
24:35of Kurt
24:36Angle's
24:37family sitting
24:38here at
24:39ringside as
24:40Austin throws
24:41Angle back
24:42into the
24:43ring.
24:44Kurt Angle
24:45has overcome
24:46so many
24:47challenges.
24:48Can he
24:49can Kurt
24:50Angle
24:51overcome
24:52this
24:53rapid
24:54onslaught
24:55of the
24:56toughest
24:57S.O.B.
24:58Perhaps
24:59ever in the
25:00WWF.
25:01And Austin
25:02again
25:03manhandling
25:04the
25:05referee.
25:06What love
25:07to get
25:08disqualified.
25:09Low blow!
25:10Low blow
25:11by Kurt
25:12Angle!
25:13And you
25:14saw it,
25:15JR!
25:17Kurt
25:18Angle
25:19has fought
25:20in his life
25:21but Kurt
25:22Angle
25:23never had an
25:24obstacle.
25:25Oh my
25:26God!
25:27The DDT!
25:28And that's
25:29right on
25:30the neck,
25:31the head,
25:32driving that
25:33neck back.
25:34A stone cold
25:35Steve Austin.
25:36Kurt
25:37Angle
25:38holding his
25:39neck,
25:40holding his
25:41head.
25:42And now
25:43the referee
25:44Austin may
25:45be able
25:46to save
25:47the title
25:48but Austin
25:49is up.
25:50And to the
25:51ref's next
25:52credit,
25:53I don't know
25:54if he knows
25:55what he's
25:56doing but
25:57he just
25:58broke the
25:59referee's
26:00count,
26:01right or
26:02wrong,
26:03for the
26:04alliance.
26:05Austin knows
26:06what he's
26:07doing at all
26:08times.
26:09He's the
26:10leader of
26:11the alliance.
26:12Kurt
26:13Angle!
26:14Angle got
26:15the starter!
26:16Oh my
26:17God!
26:18What a

26:25What a
26:26way to

26:28WWF title
26:29using
26:30Austin's
26:31own
26:32finishing
26:33maneuver.
26:34How
26:35insulting
26:36of Kurt
26:37Angle!
26:38I am
26:39ashamed
26:40of your

26:47challenge?
26:48He

26:50when he
26:51said it.
26:52He
26:53said it
26:54when he
26:55said it.
26:56And
26:57he

27:06He
27:07did
27:08it!
27:09He
27:10did
27:11it!
27:12Austin, don't you do it.
27:13Austin, look at the piledriver, hammering Kurt's back, his kidneys.
27:18Angle barely able, well, he's not able to stand.
27:20Austin picking Angle up.
27:21Austin wants Angle, he wants to piledrive Kurt Angle right there in the ring.
27:25It was on the concrete on Thursday night in Memphis, Tennessee,
27:29when Kurt Angle dodged the biggest bullet of his career.
27:33No way can Kurt Angle withstand this.
27:35No way, if Austin hits this piledriver, it's the end of Kurt Angle.
27:40Austin on the brink of exhaustion.
27:43Blading away on those rights and lefts to whatever effect they may or may not have.
27:47Angle trying to hold on to that leg just moments ago, but now Angle is, my God.
27:52No, Kurt Angle piledriven, and that is sick.
28:00Hey, I applaud Kurt Angle for a great challenge, but it's over.
28:04One, two, Kurt made it, no, no it's not.
28:09No, by God, it's not over.
28:11This fight's gonna continue.
28:13What the hell does it take to put Kurt Angle away?
28:17I think Austin's asking himself that same question.
28:19And now Austin, hammering at the back.
28:21Trying to weaken those back muscles, right up to the neck of Kurt Angle.
28:26And now Austin screaming at Angle to get up.
28:30And now maybe Austin, now maybe he's gonna use a Stone Cold Stunner.
28:35I've seen this position on so many occasions.
28:38Here it comes, the Stone Cold Stunner.
28:40There's no hesitation here, and I'm on the scene.
28:43Angle, he's got it, he's got it.
28:50We have a new champion.
28:52Angle's got the Angle on.
28:53Austin's going for the ropes.
28:54Austin's going for the ropes.
28:55Austin's going for the ropes.
28:58Austin, Austin tapping out, he's tapping out.
29:01Angle, Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle.
29:04Angle, Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle.
29:14Austin went for the Stone Cold Stunner, and Kurt Angle countered, and my God.
29:19Kurt Angle is bundled with a jacket and ringside.
29:23And Cena and Boyd win another championship.
29:26But none bigger than the WWF title.
29:29And here comes the Angle family.
29:36It's a celebration from Pittsburgh.
29:39It's a celebration for the Angle family.
29:44The brothers, the sisters, the nieces, the nephews.
29:49And you can only wish, and you only know that Kurt's father is looking down tonight
29:55and says, my God, my boy did it again.
29:59What a night in the life of Kurt Angle.
30:09What a night in the life of the Angle family.
30:12And what a night in the lives of the World Wrestling Federation.
30:18Finally, the WWF title is back in the WWF.
30:26It can't end this way.
30:28Back here, back in Stinkin' Pittsburgh.
30:32Kurt Angle being congratulated not only by family, but the superstars of the WWF.
30:40The most coveted prize in sports entertainment has found its way
30:45back home at the round of the waist of the American Kurt Angle.
30:50What a celebration to be tonight here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
30:57Take your bow, Kurt, you disturbed it.
31:02Kurt Angle climbed the mountain.
31:06Kurt Angle, the new WWF champion.
31:10First gold for a week, what a night.
31:16First gold for a week, what a night.
