Date: January 19th A decade before WWE was receiving mainstream headlines for having boxer Floyd Mayweather involved in a storyline, the company saw even more mainstream publicity for having "The Baddest Man On The Planet", Mike Tyson, involved in the WrestleMania 14 main event. Everything Tyson did or said drew interest from people, for one reason or another. Vince McMahon was set to announce Tyson as the Special Enforcer for the WWF Title match at Mania, but before any announcements could be made, Steve Austin would come out and join the festivities. Austin took great offense to Mike Tyson appearing in a wrestling ring... Austin's ring... and getting praised for how tough he is. Austin had some two-fingered "sign language" for Tyson, and it escalated into a near brawl between Austin, Tyson and Tyson's entourage. McMahon, as usual, was the star here, from his eyes casually bugging out at the mention of Austin's "sign language" to his yelling "YOU RUINED IT! YOU RUINED IT, DAMMIT!" to Austin after officials had broken things up.
