Douglas...

The sound of shattering glass brings a sold out FTR house show crowd to its feet. As Steve Austin's theme music plays throughout the arena, The Texas Rattlesnake himself makes his way down the aisle and into the ring. He climbs to the second rope on all four corners with his arms raised, and then takes a microphone. His music stops and he begins to speak.
Austin: "If yer tired of listenin' to Shane Douglas flap his little gums, gimme a hell yeah."
Crowd: HELL YEAH!
Austin: "That's what I thought. Douglas, we can sit back on our asses and talk about the past all we want. Hell, both of us came up in the territories, and both of us have seen some shit go down that GeniusIQ up there in his little office wouldn't be able to believe.
Now Douglas..I think you're a sorry, low-down, beady eyed little bastard. I get tired of you walking around like the world owes you something.....and I will stand by the fact that if you were half as good as you say you were...then there ain't a damned person backstage that would've been able to hold you down. I will stand by the fact that just because you were a big fish in a little pond...you ain't gonna be a big fish in a big pond. That's just the way it is....because Stone Cold said so.
But I ain't sayin that you ain't tough...hell, I know you are. So at Rampage....let's put all of the BS aside...and let's have us a good old fashioned fight. Because Douglas, if it's gonna take Stone Cold opening up a can of Texas Whup Ass and shoving it down your throat to shut your mouth..then by God, that's just what Stone Cold is gonna do.
So what you need to do is stop making your little tag team challenges.....you need to get your ass into your gear....lace your boots up..march yourself up that Ramp...and then get ready for the fight of your damned life. Because at Rampage, I'm gonna have me a couple of beers...and then I'm gonna look you in your beady little eyes...and then.....
WHAM!
Stone Cold Stunner!
And that'll be all there is to it, you sorry bastard.
And that's the bottom line....................cause Stone Cold........SAID SO!"
With that said, Steve Austin makes his way to the back.
