- Vince McMahon: Now, Rock, I know you're excited about Backlash. So am I. I know you're excited, or at least you think you are...
- [to the crowd chanting "asshole"]
- Vince McMahon: SHUT UP, I'M TALKING! I'm excited to be in Triple H's corner, and I know you're excited to have Stone Cold in your corner. But you should know this, Rock. You should know that my son Shane is very excited about Backlash, because, you see, we're not gonna have an Earl Hebner situation again. No, my son Shane will be the special guest referee in your match-up with Triple H this Sunday at Backlash. And, you know, the reason you're all upset and you've called us out here, that's gutsy, Rock. But you know, it simply tells me that you listened to what I said on Monday night. And you're wondering about Stone Cold. You're wondering whether or not you can trust Stone Cold Steve Austin. You're wondering whether or not Stone Cold is gonna strike you down at Backlash, aren't you? Remember, DTA, don't trust anybody, Rock.
- The Rock: Speaking of don't trust anybody... what if the Rock told you that he spoke with Stone Cold, and Stone Cold didn't wanna wait 'til Backlash?
- [the crowd cheers]
- Vince McMahon: What do you mean by that?
- The Rock: What if the Rock told you that Stone Cold was gonna make a special appearance on the Rock's show, "SmackDown!"?
- [the crowd cheers louder]
- Vince McMahon: Then I'd call you a damn liar! You know, Austin would never show up here tonight. Because, quite frankly, Austin doesn't have the temerity. In other words, Austin doesn't have the grapefruits to show up here tonight!
- The Rock: Oh, for once in your pathetic life, why don't you just shut your mouth, Vince? Because the Rock says just, just as he's guaran-damn-teed, he's made the promise of the promise to walk out of Backlash the WWF champion, the Rock also guaran-damn-tees that Austin is here tonight! IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLL what the Rock is cooking!
- The Rock: The Rock promised that Stone Cold was gonna be here tonight. And the Rock is a man and a half living up to his word, and always keeps his promises. Now, all night long, the Rock has thoroughly enjoyed watching all your candy asses get confused, get paranoid. The beer, the rattlesnake. The only regret is that the rattlesnake didn't bite one of you in your candy asses. Shane McMahon, beating up the cardboard cutout of Stone Cold. Real tough. Triple H, beating up the Stone Cold lookalike in a bathroom. But who do you think the Rock is? The Rock doesn't dress like Stone Cold. The Rock doesn't talk like Stone Cold. The Rock doesn't even look like Stone Cold. But, he looks like Stone Cold.
- [on the OvalTron, Stone Cold appears, and the audience roars]
- 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin: I understand you jackasses have been looking for me. Hell, I'm out in the parking lot. I've been in and out all night long. There seems to be some concern over whose side Stone Cold Steve Austin is gonna be on this Sunday at Backlash. Will Stone Cold Steve Austin be looking to favor Triple H, or will Stone Cold Steve Austin be on the side of the Rock? That's an easy one for Stone Cold to answer, because the answer to that is I'm gonna be on the side I've always been on, and that's mine. But what I've got right now is a little demonstration for ya to any one of you ya little grubby bastards that thinks they're gonna get their hands on Stone Cold Steve Austin. You see, there's a lot of people out there that are good at construction. A lot of people are good at building things with their hands. Hell, it seems the only thing I've ever been good at is tearin' shit up. Basically, I guess what I'm saying is I'm good at deconstruction.
- [as the camera pans out, it's revealed he's on a construction crane]
- 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin: So what we got here is my own little toy, and Stone Cold Steve Austin's got just a little example of what might happen if anybody gets their little grubby meat hooks on me.
- [he climbs into the cab and starts it up]
- 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin: Oh, that's what I like to hear.
- [with the crane, he lifts a block of something over the DX Express; as he drops it, the bus blows up]
- 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin: Anybody that tries to mess with Stone Cold Steve Austin this Sunday at Backlash, and that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so!
