Steve Austin makes his first post-Wrestlemania appearance, still bandaged up but holding his head high. He makes clear that despite a babyface turn, he's still Stone Cold. He gets the tone just right in this interview. He calls Bret out and in a subtle but effective change, Bret is now put in the position to respond to Austin on the Titantron without appearing before the crowd instead of the other way around. Great stuff. The WWF is on a roll now.

Austin's video entrance was really good. Steve reminds us again he never said he gave up. Austin is all about whopping ass no matter if his opponent is a good guy or bad guy. Bret better hope that Austin does get his wish on what will say on Bret's gravestone. The double turn has been done perfectly.

Great promo by Austin, who takes Shawn Michaels' template after his Survivor Series loss but perfects it--coming off as an angry loner rather than a whiner like HBK. Bret's rebuttal is almost as good, quietly confident after dispatching Austin at WM. Austin threatens to bury Bret underground and pay him back tenfold for the bloody mess at WM. For two guys talking to each other this was a super-hot segment.

Austin is so great. This is another awesome promo from him. He talks about how the blood beat him, not Bret. He's pissed because he didn't quit & wants more of Bret. Bret interrupts & tells Austin he's through with him since he's beaten him multiple times. In a great moment, Austin tells him he'll have to kill him to be through with him. I love Steve Austin. Austin goes scorched earth on Bret in tremendous fashion to finish the interview off. This is a really great RAW.
