After turning on the fans at WrestleMania, and the WWF at InVasion, Austin was the company's champion, despite being with the WCW/ECW Alliance.

Facing Kurt Angle in the Olympian's hometown of Pittsburgh, Angle vowed to bring the gold back home, and did just so, making the Bionic Redneck tap in the middle of the ring.

In what was a truly heartwarming moment, Angle, who had for years been decried as a cowardly heel, finally got his hero's welcome, as his family celebrated alongside him, closing a show, that came less than two weeks after the 9/11 attack, as the WWF showed that good would still triumph over evil, and sent the fans home happy.
