October 30, 201410 yr Author comment_5636927 Vince is out, violating the terms of the contract. He says he is simply here to say goodbye and takes on a somber tone. The crowd just hates him. So great. He wants us to remember him like he is now - a handsome, affluent entrepreneur. So great. Austin comes out and Vince says he's glad he came out because he has something he wants to say to him - deep down, they are just alike. However, he has always considered himself the better man. Just to prove it, he offers a handshake to Austin. Austin isn't interested and threatens to break his arm and shove it down his throat. Austin claims that the more Vince tried to make his life miserable, the more fun he had, and wants Jim Ross to come to the ring. He has Ross lead the crowd in "Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, Oh Hell Yeah, goodbye!" The crowd sings Vince out in a great moment. Vince flips Austin off on the way out, and Austin and JR share a beer to close the show. I miss wrestling that captures people like this.

October 19, 20159 yr comment_5705634 This was really strong and I do wish it would have had more long term effect as it feels like the perfect capper to this feud. In fact, if we haven't seen Vince until the WM 17 chair stuff, this would probably be remembered much better. The heat was insane and it was Austin getting one more over on Vince but Vince still being defiant.
August 25, 20178 yr comment_5812084 One touch that I'd forgotten about until just now is that Vince had "guaranteed" victory for the Undertaker. Every one of Vince's previous guarantees had come true--very cool, detail-oriented booking for that to come undone at this "end of an era." Vince tries to play the old villain "We're just alike, you and I" card and Austin isn't having it. Ah, definitive victories for WWE babyfaces, whatever happened to them?
