#2 Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff (Survivor Series 2003)
Those of you who did not enjoy the last match in our countdown will definitely mark out for this one. This contest was the personification of Ruthless Aggression, Raw had two co-General Managers at this time: Stone Cold Steve Austin and Eric Bischoff.
Linda McMahon had imposed a restriction on Stone Cold telling him that he could not physically assault anyone unless he was provoked. This match was made with both of them picking teams, to resolve the then-current storyline. If Bischoff’s team were to win the contest, Austin would have to step down as Raw General Manager.
However, if Austin’s team were to win, he could beat up anyone, anywhere, anytime he chose to. As always, Shawn Michaels stole the show, with JR and Jerry Lawler providing magic on commentary. Ross alluded to Lawler’s teammates from 1994 as well. One of the bloodiest matches in Survivor Series history. A definite must-watch.
