Steve Austin defeated Ric Flair by disqualification in 0:13:57.

Match Observations:

Ladies and gentlemen, making his World Wrestling Federation debut... GOLDUST !
And what a debut it was. It seems like 'Dust had an off night, as Razor Ramon
defeated him fair and square in the middle of the ring in his debut.

The Public Enemy and the Eliminators certainly aren't finished with one another.

It does look like we're currently experiencing some infighting among the Four
Horsemen. While Steve Austin isn't officially a member of the Horsemen, he is
by and large considered one. While the Austin-Flair fight was never planned -
Guerrero was supposed to defend against Flair, but he lost the title to Austin
in a major upset, - it may be one of the matches to make wrestling history.
Austin apparently was less than thrilled that Anderson saved Flair from a clean
defeat courtesy of the Stone Cold Stunner, and he challenged both Anderson and
Flair to a handicap match.

Austin should watch out for himself. He'd be better off focusing on his opponent
at WrestleMania, the deadly Vader, instead of engaging in a grudge with the
Horsemen who are known to know no boundaries if they want to get under someone's
skin.
