In kayfabe, Vince McMahon was supposed to have been dismayed and embarrassed that Stone Cold Steve Austin would dare interrupt Mike Tyson's special Monday Night Raw appearance - but, really, what did he expect to happen?

You can't go around introducing someone as the "baddest man on the planet" within earshot of the Texas Rattlesnake - even if they are a former world heavyweight champion boxer. It's almost bound to provoke some sort of reaction.

And provoke a reaction it did. Austin - who scooped his second successive Royal Rumble win the previous night - crashed the party in typically nonchalant fashion, sharing an intense stare down with Iron Mike before flipping him off, right in front of the face that ran the place.

Tyson responded with a tame-looking shove, and that was pretty much it. The wrestling world's collective lips had been sufficiently whetted, with everyone absolutely dying to see what role awaited the boxing superstar at WrestleMania XIV in two months' time.
