#1 Must-see: Team Bischoff Vs. Team Austin (Survivor Series 2003)

Enter caption

When Steve Austin was made the co-General Manager of RAW, it was not easy for Eric Bischoff. Bischoff had fired the Rattlesnake just a few weeks prior, and now he was back, raisin' hell and takin' names just like before.

Except, that he wasn't. A rule by Linda McMahon made that Austin could not attack anyone unless provoked first, which infuriated the redneck and delighted Bischoff.

Things came to a head at Survivor Series, in a truly epic bout, as Bischoff's 5 guys, taking on Austin's 5 guys, with the stipulation being if Team Austin won, the rule would be lifted, though Austin would be fired if his team lost.

In the end, it came down to a bloodied Shawn Michaels (in his third appearance here) taking on Bischoff's Christian, Chris Jericho and Randy Orton.

Eliminating the first two, Michaels seemingly had Orton beat, until Evolution stable-mate Batista helped the heels get the win.

It may not have been the result Austin wanted, but the handshake and post-match hug to his former nemesis Michaels made it all worth it.
