Vince briefly talks about the value of kissing the boss's ass before turning the stage over to the corporate champion - The Rock! Vince's facial expressions while Rock is talking are great. He renames The People's Elbow as The Corporate Elbow. This is long and is all about letting Rock's heel turn sink in with everyone.

 

Vince asks what it's like to kiss his ass. Shane says he kinda likes it, and Rock says it's nothing since he's a millionaire and the WWF champ. Vince then recaps how they got to this point and this is the WWF's strong point during this time, as they show old clips of how they were always in cahoots. But before they can do that, we see Austin arriving on the Titantron, much to Vince's chagrin. They finally get around to it and end up throwing all sorts of insults toward Austin and Foley.

 

Austin finally makes his way to the ring and calls The Rock a sorry sellout son of a bitch. Vince points out that there was a clause in the new contract Austin signed that he can't touch Vince unless he's provoked. Austin comes armed with a clip of his own - Shane told everyone two weeks ago that Austin would get a title shot the day after Survivor Series. Vince says not to get excited because that was overruled. However, Austin has a legally binding contract to give him a title shot against The Rock tonight.

 

Vince: "THAT'S NOTEBOOK PAPER!"

 

Austin took it to a judge it turns out and it is legally binding. He shows footage from JUDGE MILLS LANE to back up his case and Austin vs Rock, which drew a monster rating, is set for tonight!

Vince, Shane and the Rock. The gang is all here. Rock does a good job running down the people in a way that wouldn't result in getting cheered here. Vince is so power hungry here that it is again great when he celebrates.

 

Austin comes down and reminds them of Shane saying he would have a rematch the night after Survivor Series for the title. Vince says he is revoking that but Austin was one step ahead and got Judge Mills Lane to rule in his favor. A little hokey and contrived here but we do have a big main event for tonight.

Gloating Vince is back, and that may well be the best kind of Vince. There's almost no attempt to explain why Shane re-hired Austin just to fuck him, though Vince does say he wanted to "make Austin's life a living hell," so maybe one could generously assume that Vince had him re-hired out of spite so he could get revenge for the post-Judgment Day episode of Raw. But once Austin is out and Mills Lane announces that the title shot contract is legally binding, you kind of forget that plot hole ever existed.
