Vince McMahon + Shawn Michaels: Jim Ross came out and replaced Michael Cole for the main event of WrestleMania 15. Howard Finkel introduced the special guest referee for the match —- Vince McMahon! Shawn Michaels came out next and gave his “WrestleMania isn’t WrestleMania, without Shawn Michaels” speech. Shawn said that the only person who could appoint a guest referee is the Commissioner.

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin defeated The Rock (of the Corporation) to win the WWF Heavyweight title!: The fight started quickly and immediately made its way into the crowd and brawled on the WM15 stage. The Rock back-dropped Steve Austin awkwardly onto the lighting fixures (which I hear get REALLY hot). Steve Austin recovered and whipped The Rock into the huge hanging WrestleMania logo fixture, causing it to sway back and forth. Austin set the Rock up on the Spanish Announce Table and drove him through it with an elbow drop (two tries)! The match finally made it into the ring where The Rock managed to hit a Rock Bottom, but only got a 2-count before Austin kicked out! Mike Chioda got knocked out, and referee Tim White came out to replace him. Vince McMahon came down and distracted Steve Austin, so that The Rock could hit a low-blow! McMahon got in the ring and knocked the referee out, and helped Rock stomp Steve Austin! Mankind came down, wearing a white shirt with stripes painted on with a black permanent marker. Mankind kicked (literally) Vince McMahon out of the ring and assumed his position as guest referee – which he earned earlier that night. The Rock hit the Rock Bottom and set up for the people’s elbow, but Austin moved out of the way! The Rock went for another Rock Bottom, but Austin reversed it into the Stone Cold Stunner for the win!!! Stone Cold Steve Austin celebrated with a few beers, including sharing a few with referee Earl Hebner (who really enjoyed it).. Mr. McMahon claimed Steve Austin was holding his belt, so Austin stunned his ASS and dumped beer on him!WrestleMania 15 is IN THE HISTORY BOOKS!
