Did you guys not see the part where Jason Jordan sneak attacked the Big Dog first to set up the match?

Which was after Roman called him a fraud trying to cash in on his dad's status. Then they had a hell of a match where Jordan more than proved himself a worthy contender, then Jordan actually saved Roman from Joe's opportunistic attack. Then Roman attacked him again anyway.

Austin ALWAYS beat up everybody, including his friends/allies. That was actually his character, however, plus he was over to a level that arguably nobody else has ever reached so he could get away with a lot of stuff.

I guess I don't remember him attacking his allies as much because most of my fond memories of Austin were him beating the poo poo out of Vince and Vince adjacent people.

Also that night the "Old Stone Cold" came back to save the WWF from the Alliance. Then again, he turned heel again like 2 weeks later, so that might not be a great example.

The one that always stands out to me is Mankind coming to Austin's aid, the two of them working together as a team to triumph, and then Austin proceeding to stunner him and talk trash to his prone body while the crowd went apeshit with delight.

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
The thing I miss most about Austin, and what I think the product is missing these days, is that there's nobody to loving root for.

You tuned into the show every week because you wanted to watch Austin succeed. He was badass, he was clever, he felt unscripted, he was a winner, he overcame long odds that were established realistically, he wasn't a whiner, and he was just flat-out fun to watch.

There was a long (and decent!) match in the first hour so the pacing is different.

Well to be fair we got a very long and very good opening match as opposed to the usualy 20-25 minute back and forth promo (there was also a long back and forth promo)

Braun is awesome and one of my favorites, but he's not as versatile as Austin. Doesn't have the comedic chops and has more of a "scripted to be incredibly badass" than "unscripted" feeling to his appearances.
