Steve Austin Reflects On Wwe Match With The Rock Following 9 11

WWE will be releasing a new documentary this coming Friday titled Never Forget: WWE Returns after 9/11, which reflects on the Sept. 13, 2001, edition of Thursday Night SmackDown as the nation prepares for the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. Taking place in Houston, Texas, that show saw a rare dark match take place between WWF Champion “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and WCW Champion The Rock, ending in a disqualification. The two legends would only face each other in two more televised singles matches before the end of Austin’s in-ring career — the 2001 Rebellion pay-per-view that November and at WrestleMania XIX two years later.
