The moment stone cold became stone cold.

_"Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your @$$!"_ The first time we ever heard these famous (or infamous!) words from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who would go on to proclaim another WWE time-honored axiom: _"And that's the bottom line, 'cuz Stone Cold says so!"_ Laughed my butt off hearing/watching him make these proclamations during his "coronation" as King of the Ring after defeating Jake "The Snake" Roberts. While the rest of the KoTR card - including that pathetic non-match between Jim "The Ultimate Warrior" Hellwig vs Jerry Lawler - was almost as exciting as watching grass grow, that final KoTR match between Austin vs Roberts made it all worth sitting through just to see Austin essentially carve his name into pro wrestling history with those two simple lines. The "championship" match between David "The British Bulldog" Smith and Michael Hickenbottom (Shawn Michaels) was made all the worse when they insisted on inserting Diana into the mix...again. As I've stated before, she doesn't have enough ring presence or performance ability to do anything to ADD to a storyline and actually serves to detract from everything with her bland, unemotional, _"oh wait...am I supposed to cry here? I can't remember"_ wooden acting. They tried to make the storyline more interesting by inserting Curt "Mr. Perfect" Henning into the script, and you wanted to think there might be a chance for an unexpected ending. [spoiler]I really don't want to give away any spoilers here, but anyone who has followed Michael Hickenbottom's silver-spoon career with Vince McMahon and the WWF will know how the "main event" ends. As predictable as Hulk Hogan's "big boot, legdrop, one-two-three", you knew that when Hickenbottom was _"absolutely and completely drained of every ounce of energy in his body"_ he was going to "nip up", set the audience screaming, and... Cue the music, cue the spotlight so his ego can be stroked even more, and fast-forward so you don't have to sit through the same old garbage. [/spoiler] The conclusion of the card, however, was at least worth watching (translation: Don't fast-forward through it, even if you can't stand watching Hickenbottom preen for the crowd.) because they used the conclusion to segue into several new stories. Being brutally honest here, when Owen Hart "joined Vince McMahon and Jim Ross for ringside commentary" I was not at all thrilled. I've always enjoyed watching Owen wrestle (especially as the Blue Blazer) but I'll admit that the "disgruntled baby brother" act got old really fast. I know it was a storyline, but IMO they just milked it for far too long (and it wasn't that great to start with). So seeing him show up with his same old _"I've been robbed and I'm stuck in the shadow of Bret Hart so I hate everything and everybody"_ attitude, I really expected a long night of commentary. However, after hearing him in the opening match of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs "Wild Man" Marc Mero, I have to admit, he's got me laughing out loud. I never expected him to be this entertaining as a "commentator" but he seems to be almost a natural at it. Long story short: The main event was your typical match that involves Michael Hickenbottom but the rest of this card was decent...and the defining moment of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's career. That in itself was worth seeing.
