[1997-11-10-WWF-Raw] Steve Austin and The Rock

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Austin is quickly interrupted by The Rock, and he vows to regain the title. Rock's first big singles program. Rock's promo style is not what it would become, but he was already a good talker. He challenges Austin, and Austin responds by challenging Rock to get a decent haircut and flush himself down by the commode.

They went from Faarooq to Rock very quickly against Austin. The Rock looks like such a star. He’s finding his way on the mic at the moment but it’s there. Austin accepts Rock’s challenge for the IC Title.

Pretty simple beginning back and forth setting up the feud between these two. Rock looks to be gaining more confidence by the week and ready to hang with big guns like Austin.

[PeteF3]

Austin quickly downplays his feud with Owen Hart, probably for good reason on multiple levels. Rock comes out by himself, which is probably a very good sign for his future.

[Exposer]

Austin has an interview but is interrupted by The Rock. The Rock is definitely getting there as a promo. He's solid at this point. He challenges Austin for an IC title shot. Austin talks trash & makes fun of Rock's haircut. He accepts the challenges & says Rocky doesn't suck because the fans say it, it's because Stone Cold says so. Good segment. I'm interested in watching this program & seeing how The Rock develops over time.
