Gorilla Monsoon & Mr. McMahon arrive at a conclusion.
WWF President Gorilla Monsoon reveals that the referee’s decision regarding the 30-Man Royal Rumble match is FINAL. This means that WWF’s record books will indeed show that Stone Cold Steve Austin was the ultimate victor of the 1997 Royal Rumble match.

The crowd boos. I once again realize that even the audience is stuck in a weird position. They cheer for Steve Austin when the redneck S.O.B wants them too. But they boo him as a result of his actions. They love his attitude, but the WWF audience is not used to cheering a character as complicated and as interesting as Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Anyways, McMahon subtly asks Monsoon about the REAL decision. Monsoon replies that he has put together a ‘unique’ match.
Due to the controversial nature pertaining to the Rumble match’s finish- there will be a Four Man No DQ elimination match that will take place at the next PPV.
Gorilla Monsoon announces the participants.
The Undertaker (audience cheer thoroughly. ‘Taker is ‘Taker. He is and will always remain a constant in this industry). Vader (audience boos). Bret “The Hitman” Hart, but only if he accepts Monsoon’s invitation (audience cheers). And last but not the least- Stone Cold Steve Austin (audience boos. See what I was talking about earlier? It holds true).
McMahon & Monsoon exit the ring, but Steve Austin comes out from backstage. He is not satisfied with the decision, it seems to me.
“You sit there callin’ yourself the Gorilla but you yee-haw outta’ here like a Jackass!” – Steve Austin to Gorilla Monsoon.
Throughout my recaps, I have arrived at the ultimate conclusion that Steve Austin’s lines are too good to be scripted. Improv, anybody?
Steve Austin is about to layeth’ the Smackdown on Gorilla Monsoon’s corporate a*s. But Mr. McMahon stops him from doing so.
No, this is not where Mr. McMahon turns into the world’s worst boss, no, McMahon provides us with a small glimpse of the Attitude that is about to arrive in the future.
Suddenly, Bret “The Baby” Hart comes back from the same mass of audience that he had initially left through during the start of this show.
“I accept”- The Hitman says, in response to Gorilla Monsoon’s invitation.
Hey, the Fatal-4-Way No DQ elimination match can wait till February. But nobody said anything about Bret getting his hands on Steve Austin NOW.
These two rivals immediately brawl near the ramp. Hart gets the better of the Rattlesnake and smacks his head onto the steel steps.
This prompts the referees to come out and ‘separate’ these two from each other. And that is when…GONG!
Remember the ‘Taker-Austin match that was supposed to happen in the main event?
Well, that’s happening NOW!
