While most 'dream matches' are set for pay-per-view, WWE planned a stunning Stone Cold vs Brock Lesnar match on Monday Night RAW. Vince McMahon wanted the Texas Rattlesnake to lose to the rookie, leading to the infamous walkout in 2002.

Explaining his refusal to job to Brock Lesnar, Stone Austin told Sport Bible:

"The time they [WWE] wanted me to fly down to Atlanta for Monday Night Raw and put over Brock Lesnar. The night before, I was working in Columbus, Georgia, working with Ric Flair in a cage, so I was like a kid in a candy store working with the GOAT, so of course I didn't show up."
"Because it wasn't time for me to do the favours yet for Brock in an unadvertised match in a tournament-style TV match whereas hey, man, I love Brock Lesnar, I'd lose to him any day of the week, but build it up so we can all make money off of it and it's going to mean something."
