Used as an excuse to get the worst version of Stone Cold Steve Austin on the card, this particular Piper's Pit went off the rails quicker than the dreadful edition that stunk up the WrestleMania V midcard.
The 'Hot Scot' had gone into the Hall Of Fame just 24 hours earlier, but looked as though he'd lived through several Hillbilly Jim speeches by the end of an exhausting tête-à-tête with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Carlito.
Naturally, the current roster star was buried deepest by the segment - but Piper too absorbed a Stone Cold Stunner as the company chased the cheapest of pops from this claggy palette cleanser.
