THE COUNTDOWN TO WRESTLEMANIA IV


FROM THE TORONTO SKYDOME IN TORONTO, CANADA - MARCH 1ST 1997

Austin pulls the Hitman up.... spins him around.... AND THE HITMAN HITS THE DIAMOND CUTTER ON AUSTIN!!! THE FANS POP!!!!!

They again lie motionless in the ring!!!! Sabrina starts a count... and Austin gets up first, with Bret still reeling from the crutch-shot. Stone Cold kicks the Hitman, then throws him to the ropes... DOUBLE AXEHANDLE!

The Anvil gets up to his feet, while Hawk and THP tend to Animal... who is out cold! The Publican and Gilbert stand next to each other, nodding and smiling. The Giant and Todd are nearby, also smiling.

Austin pulls up the Hitman.... STONE COLD STUNNER!!!!! Bret is laid out! Austin stands up and gets in Sabrina's face... and points down for her to count. He covers... she counts... 1... the Hitman's foot is on the ropes! Sabrina ignores it!!! 2..... THE ANVIL YELLS OUT, SHOWING HER THE FOOT! She signals for only a two count, reluctantly.

Austin stands up and gets into Sabrina's face. He looks mad.... she looks angrily back... but then they exchange winks!

Heart Attack: I KNEW IT! This is a SET-UP!! That WITCH!

Austin picks up a spent Hitman.... STONE COLD STUNNER!!!! Austin covers... Sabrina dives down and gives the quickest 1.2.3 EVER! The Anvil rolls in and pushes Austin off. He rolls away laughing!!! Pillman gets into the ring and HIGH FIVES SABRINA!!! Austin makes a motion toward Neidhart as he pulls the Hitman from the ring. Hawk and THP help up Animal. They head out.

The fans are booing Sabrina and the Empire. Sabrina looks out at them all and laughs.

Atlantra: That was BRILLIANT!

Heart Attack: I HATE her! And now Neidhart has to be PILLMAN'S servant for a DAY!

Winner, by pinfall: Stone Cold, Steve Austin

Pillman: Sabrina! That was GREAT the way you didn't disqualify Stone Cold... no matter WHAT he did wrong!

Sabrina: I live up to my promises!

Pillman: Hahahaha! And NOW, I've got a servant for a DAY! I can't wait to show THAT tape, too! Hahahahaha! This is going to be a BANNER year for the Empire! Thanks, Sabrina!

The Empire heads out. Stone Cold raises his arms over his head just before he exits through the curtains... and the fans boo vehemently. The fans throw sodas and other objects down at them.
