"I remember that match! I ended up being the baby... You outsmarted me! Thanks for the memories. Two man Power Trip ended way too soon.."

Our first one on one match on a @WWE PPV..(The argument over who would be the heel was epic, lol). This lead to decades of Stunners, pedigrees, incredible crowds, tons of laughs & A LOT of beer (he drank, I mostly wore) Happy #316Day & thanks for years of memories @steveaustinBSR https://t.co/yEsbBLKDr3
