Stone Cold vs. Dude Love at Over the Edge: In Your House (May 31, 1998)

Chaos had a referee—and his name was Mr. McMahon. At Over the Edge: In Your House on May 31, 1998, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin found himself in one of the most chaotic WWF Championship defenses of his career, with Mr. McMahon serving as special guest referee and Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco waiting at ringside. Austin wasn’t just defending his title against Dude Love—he was battling an entire corporation. The rules kept changing in Dude Love’s favor, first becoming No Disqualification and then Falls Count Anywhere, as McMahon did everything he could to stack the odds against Austin. But the plan began to unravel when The Undertaker stepped in, taking out Patterson and Brisco and sending both men crashing through the announce tables. As the chaos reached its peak, McMahon was left stunned while Austin remained standing. “Stone Cold” then delivered a massive Stunner, grabbed McMahon’s hand, and literally forced him to make the three-count. McMahon tried to control the outcome, but Austin made sure he couldn’t. WWF Wrestling
