9. Teasing Steve Austin's In-Ring Return At Next Year's Wrestlemania
Yeah. Brock vs. Austin in Texas Stadium. Title or no title, the building sells out from that match alone. It's easy. Austin's in catering shooting the breeze with Hall of Fame inductee Kevin Nash and Brock walks by, intentionally nudging Austin. Austin stops, says "hey Brock, what's up?" Brock turns around and stares down Austin with the contempt of over a decade of realizing that they never wrestled each other. "Nothing," Brock says, finishing his statement after a pause with, "just like your career, quitter." Nash gives Austin the "damn, homie that's f***ed up" look, and Austin's left to look at Brock walking away and say, "good luck you son of a bitch." Match made. Start counting the dollars now.
