26 WTF Moments From WWE Attitude Era Raw 1998 (Feb 2)

23. DX Campaign For Austin Vs. Tyson

The show's opening segment sees DX coming to the ring, with Trips and HBK kitted out in ridiculous Americana garb, while carrying cheeky signs such as "I'm standing at 8 inches". Michael Cole then rams the notion down the audience's throat, alerting them that the confetti and balloons falling from the rafters are like a political convention (you don't say?), before DX campaign for the Nevada State Athletic Commission to clear Mike Tyson to fight Stone Cold after their recent fracas. Of course, HBK has the ulterior motive of wanting Austin to be softened up before his WrestleMania match, but soon enough, Austin himself comes to the ring and stares down HBK.
