Grilling JR  

I was 19! Embarrassed to still be living in my parents house watching wrestling!

It was my 14th birthday! I was hating my first month of high school, but I can't explain to you how amazing Austin finally giving McMahon (who was legitimately one of the greatest HEELS EVER) what he deserved.

​@Asshat237 I was 4 years old when this Raw Aired on Monday Night on Monday September 22 1997 I was born in 1993

i imagine it's a lot of dumb questions they receive.

Also looking back,bulldog should of gone over allowing Shawn to regain in the states leading to a rubber match in 98. Scenario would of fitted all parties, even though it still wouldn't of played out like that in the end

I wondered that myself.

Because its an example of Shawn Michaels doing this that would get ANYONE fired but him! Plus, JR and Conrad both agree that is what made the Attitude Era, which I disagree with. Bret shoving Vince on his ass started the Attitude Era, and even before that, Brest tussling with Vince at the announce table exposed who Vince really was.

@@HereIsWisdom1318 how can you say that when Bruce keeps stating that HBKs promo is when McMahon went the attitude direction? I

Your missing huge massive points here: If not for the screwjob we might not have got Austin vs McMahon which ended the nitro streak on April 13th 1998 and ended up with the WWF ultimately winning the war. Also had Austin not got dropped on his head the WWF wouldnt have had to have to find ways to keep Austin at the forefront by having him attack authority figures so had they not had him do that they might not have discovered the awesome chemistry with Austin and McMahon and had them start their feud properly the night after WrestleMania XIV which was the angle that put the WWF back on top in the ratings. Not to mention the fact that had Bret stayed maybe the WWF wouldnt have hired Tyson whos pull apart with Austin on the January 19th 1998 Raw the night after Royal Rumble set the momentum rolling for the WWF. Shawn back on the casket too jeez so many things could have been different so many ifs and maybes,fascinating to think about.

There has been nothing like Austin/McMahon before or since their chemistry was just incredible

​@@mikeyoutubeaccount7120 No you're missing the point. Austin getting dropped on his head had nothing to do with the company being able to pay Bret.They were going to get rid of him regardless of whether Austin got dropped on his head or not because they couldn't afford his contract anymore. They were not going to have Austin face Bret because they didn't want the belt on Ausitn until Wresltemania. Bret had already offered to drop the belt to Austin and Vince said no because he clearly wanted the belt on Shawn. So the Screwjob was going to happen regardless of whether Austin was dropped on his head or not. Which means Mr. Mcmahon would have still ended up being created and Austin V Mcmahon would have still ended up happening because Austin was always anti-authority even before he got dropped on his head. So the storyline would have naturally evolved into Austin V Mcmahon even if Ausitn didn't get hurt and stun Mcmahon at MSG. That's the most creative time in the WWE. So there is no doubt that they would have either come up with something else that got Austin over or still ended up doing it anyway but just later down the line.
