Loss Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Series of vignettes with Steve Austin at Titan Tower running the show. You can tell the receptionist is an actress based on the receptionist in Beyond The Mat not sounding nearly as pleasant. Austin coaches her to answer the phone "Who the hell is this? What the hell do you want?" in a funny moment. It's also a nice detail consistent with his character that he's really pleasant to the construction workers outside. Then, he puts Vince's assistants to work bringing him food and drinks, and he blows off a board meeting at first by saying "I don't like board games". Austin fires the SVP of Marketing for looking stupid. (Ross: "No one ever knew what he did.") Meanwhile, Austin promotes the mail clerk into his position. Then he orders a beer drinking contest - anyone still standing when Austin comes back in the room later still has a job. Next, Austin goes to HR. Looks like they released a special WWF magazine that doubled as Austin's orientation manual, which is just genius. Then he goes into accounting and wants to know what the financial losses are for the company. He points him to the beer truck and zamboni incidents, which is funny. Austin wants the zeros behind Vince's salary moved to Mick Foley's to help him with his medical bills. Shane McMahon's salary is now the beer budget. Now we're in Vince's office and Jim Ross makes fun of all the shrines he has to himself. Austin sits at his desk drinking beers and directs the lawn workers to dump several wheelbarrows of cow manure in the room. The McMahons have seen enough and head to the ring in a panic. This is great entertainment and the populist tone of it is just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soup23 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Pretty good stuff all around. I don't like board games made me pop huge. The orientation manual with Busch beer there on the table was great. I bet Austin had a blast filming this and it shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yeah this is pretty good compared to the WCW ppv. Austin at the board table was funny. Handing out beers like it was going out of style. Only bad thing about this was the announcers just wouldn't shut up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
