What was biggest deck the Corporation stacked against Stone Cold Steve Austin?

[jadillac]

I'm gonna say at Breakdown '98.

There was a triple threat match for the WWF title with Taker, Austin, Kane.....but Taker & Kane were not allowed to pin one another ....so basically it was a handicap match. And of course the Stooges(Brisco,etc) had to interfere as well.

In the end Austin was pinned by both Kane & Taker simultaneously.

Yo thats the difference between bosses vs wrestler stories now. Vince really did stack it even worse every month vs Austin. This dude had a first blood match with a nikka who had on a mask and only exposed one arm

And the key was, whether he failed or succeeded, Vince was gonna be on the other end of an ass whoopin' either way. Unlike the Authority, who will just gloat with absolutely no comeuppance every week. It's like everybody's shytty, dead-end office job but in the wrestling ring

During the occupy movement, they had the wrestlers walk out on the WWE. A nikka who named himself "The Rebel" joined with the corporate posterboy and the company boss and continued working

Actually he had NO arms exposed. He wore a fully covered outfit that match.

Yeah that was the original Kane who had 3rd degree burns and scar tissue over 90% of his body So only his left hand was exposed

Speaking of first blood...remember when Taker every week leading up to their first blood...good writing

 

[DaylitoJames]

Biggest stack against Austin was the Royal Rumble where:

1. Vince made Austin the #1 entrant
2. The entire Corporation was entrants and Austin was their main focus
3. For all the non Corporation members there was a $100,000 bounty reward if they eliminate Austin
4. Vince HIMSELF was in the Rumble to take out Austin

That was a long night for Austin.... and oh yeah that was the night Vince started using his iconic "No Chance In Hell" theme song

kayfabe wise the corporation was already forming this match was the first step. Get the belt off Austin and make the rock's road to the title seamless while making it look like they were beefing. That breakdown to 15 stretch was too dope. Now can somebody please explain to me the corporation to corporate ministry arc. Was there some kinda deal with Vince and taker during this stretch? Still can't make sense out of that shyt. Loved it as a kid tho.

I tried breaking this storyline down into about 3 sentences but that really wouldn't do it justice. So read this instead http://taimapedia.org/index.php?title=The_Higher_Power_Angle
