In the recent episode of Grilling Jr., Jim Ross recalled how McMahon and ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ prepared for their segment back in the day. 

Ross said, “They had, they always had good chemistry. I don’t recall those guys spending hours before show going over their sh*t. They kind of knew where they were headed and then they had lived a vast majority of it. And they had an outline, but they had great chemistry and they had a feel for their angle. So it worked out real well, I thought it was and the booking on this date, perfect.”

The AEW commentator added he had an idea WWE could do better in ratings if the McMahon-Austin feud took off. He stated, “We needed it wasn’t like, well, we can overtake them in a radius. And we do this that was never discussed in my presence. But we all had a feeling that we got a chance. If we pull this thing off, we got a chance to increase our ratings, and maybe even exceed the competition.”

It doesn’t need any explanation of how good chemistry they both had. Furthermore, it was Austin with whom Vinnie-Mac got to fulfill his dream of wrestling in a match
