PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steve Austin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Rude (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Austin comes to the cage accompanied by Motorhead-Killed by death. Rude has chosen Marilyn Manson-The beautiful people as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Steve Austin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Steve Austin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
