JR: The fans have chosen sides. These guys may not be popular, but they're bringing EVERYBODY into this match!!

Bam Bam: This is a HELLUVA performance by both wrestlers! They've both wrestled TWICE already!

Austin and the Giant rise up to their feet. Sweat is glistening off their bodies. They're hunched over in pain and exhaustion. The Giant swings his mighty arm.. and KNIFE-EDGES Austin clear across the ring to the ropes.

Austin bounces back and the Giant pulls him up into a GIANT BEAR HUG!!! Austin's feet are off the mat!!! The ref gets into position to see if Austin surrenders!!! The Giant squeezes, yelling for the submission!!

Sabrina is pounding on the mat on one side.... Terry Taylor is on the other, yelling encouragement.

Austin raises up his arm... and FOREARMS THE GIANT IN THE EYE!! The Giant lets go and Austin falls to the mat. The Giant backs away, holding his eye. Austin sees the Giant off-balance... and he jumps up and runs in, purely on instinct... and FOREARMS him AGAIN in the head!!!

THE MIGHTY GIANT FALLS TO THE MAT!!! Austin pulls up his legs....

JR: THE SHARPSHOOTER!!! HE'S GOIN' FOR THE SHARPSHOOTER!!

Bam Bam: He got it on JoBo... but the Giant... CAN HE DO IT?!

Austin steps through... then starts to cross the legs. He does. He starts to turn the Giant over.... and the Giant presses down into the mat... and KICKS AUSTIN OFF!! The pro-Giant fans cheer!!!

JR: The Giant knows how to counter the move after this past Raw.

Bam Bam: Tough luck for AUSTIN!

The Giant climbs up to his feet. Austin gets to his. They look barely able to move! The Giant comes in at Austin.... who KICKS at the Giant. The Giant HAMMERS down with a foream shot!!!

Austin reaches up and snaps the Giant's head down into a STANDING SIDE HEADLOCK! He pulls the Giant to the ropes... and BURNS his eyes across the top strand!! The Giant backs away, holding at his eye again.

Sabrina yells in at Austin... and he RESPONDS! He hooks the head.... STONE COLD STUNNER!!! TEXTBOOK!!

Austin covers quickly, this time pulling back one of the Giant's big legs. The referee is right there... 1... 2.... 3....!!!!!

JR: IT'S ALL OVER!!!

Bam Bam: WE GOT A KING!!!

Austin pops up, stumbling away from the Giant and bracing himself in the corner! His few fans cheer for him, but the Civic Center is resounding with BOOS! Sabrina and Lucifer Graves climb up into the ring, applauding.

Terry Taylor and Todd pull the Giant out from the ring. The Giant is barely concious as well.

JR: Give BOTH men credit! That was a MATCH OF THE YEAR nominee, I'm SURE!
