After seeing Steve Austin kick ass for two years in the WWF from, delivering a plethora of Stone Cold Stunners and stomping many a mudhole and walking it dry, the last thing you expect to see on pay per-view is Austin getting run over by a car and taken out of action.

Remember, this was back in 1999, in the infancy of the internet so you couldn€™t jump onto What Culture and see our Graeme (UK Blind Date reference) giving you the scoop on Austin€™s health. Power Slam magazine didn€™t even have the story till the following month, so as a fan you€™re left wondering what the hell is going on.

The Texas Rattlesnake was scheduled to main event the show in a Triple Threat Match for the WWF title with The Rock and HHH. Fans had never seen the three headliners in one match vying for the gold so it felt like a special occasion. When the backstage angle played out live on the pay per-view, it was incredibly unexpected. The angle excused Stone Cold for 11 months while he had recovered from major neck surgery.
