5 Things To Watch On WWE Network This Week (Aug 25)
1. Steve Austin's Hidden Gem Appearance In OVW
Imagine Brock Lesnar suddenly stormed an NXT taping and hit Adam Cole with his F-5. Sounds impossible, doesn't it? Well, back in 2001, that was the feeling when Steve Austin brought his stardom to Ohio Valley Wrestling's Christmas Chaos show on 31 January that year.
After being introduced by Jim Ross and confronted by 'Role Model' Rico Constantino (who would go on to become a stylist for Billy & Chuck on the main roster in 2002), Austin hit the OVW star with his patented Stunner and celebrated with a beer.
It was all routine stuff, but the live crowd in Kentucky went absolutely bat sh*t for Stone Cold's cameo. Keep in mind he was 10 days removed from winning the Royal Rumble, and was mere months away from headlining WrestleMania X-Seven.
To find Austin's OVW bit, head to the Vault section, look up Hidden Gems and scroll down to the sixth row. There, you'll see 'Raising Hell In OVW' sandwiched between Scott Hall's own cameo in ECW and a match between Leviathan (Batista) and Kane.
