That approach will work. WWE has posted a new video to its YouTube channel in which they show a full segment from the March 7, 2011 episode of Raw. In the segment, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin names himself the special guest referee for a match between Michael Cole and Jerry “The King” Lawler at WrestleMania.
You can see the segment in its entirety below:
From WWE.com:
Last week, Michael Cole announced that his trainer for his WrestleMania match against Jerry “The King” Lawler will be Jack Swagger. This week, the other boot dropped. Cole revealed his choice as the special guest referee: JBL! Only one problem.
Before The Lonestar Loudmouth could sign the contract, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin confronted the two. After stunning JBL, The Texas Rattlesnake signed on the dotted line to become the match’s special guest referee and chased off Cole.
Editor’s Opinion:
I love segments like this. It’s always fun to see Austin come out and do what he does best; that glass-shattering will never get old. You know he will come out, go on the top rope with a certain hand gesture, drink some beers, and hit some stunners. And we all pop for it every time! OH HELL YEAH!!
