Austin thought the WWE Title match between The Undertaker and Vader was a solid match. Bauer mentions that Paul Bearer was terrific during this bout, and he thought Bearer stole the show here. He thinks it’s unfortunate that Vader didn’t really take off in WWE because he was one of the greater ‘monster heels’ of all time. Austin agrees, saying that Vader was so great at getting heat on sympathetic babyfaces.
Austin says he knew from very early on that Mark Callaway was going to be a huge star, and once Callaway was given The Undertaker as his gimmick, there was nothing that could stop him. Austin says that McMahon could have given that gimmick to anyone else and they may have done okay with it, but nobody could have done with it what Callaway has done.
Austin thought Vader needed to control more of this match offensively, especially since Undertaker was ultimately going to retain his Title in the end. He points out that Vader and Undertaker botched the tombstone reversal spot in this match, and Austin recalls botching that exact same spot with Undertaker in the past.
