DEADLOCK Podcast: Revisiting WWF RAW 1998 The Austin Era Has Begun, X-Pac & New Age Outlaws Join DX, The Rock Becomes Nation of Domination Leader

March 30th, 1998 WWF Monday Night RAW is one of the most important episodes in history. Following the massive WrestleMania 14 where Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Shawn Michaels to become WWF Champion. The Austin Era has begun! Mr. McMahon opens the show and gives Stone Cold a brand new WWF Championship belt. He tells Austin he can do things the easy way or the hard way. Mr. McMahon receives the Stone Cold Stunner courtesy of the rattlesnake. This prompts Vince McMahon to call the local police and have Steve Austin arrested. Also, The Rock and The Nation of Domination turn on Farooq and kick him out of the group. The Rock is the new leader. Plus, Triple H says Shawn Michaels dropped the ball with D-Generation X and that he will pick it back up. 123 Kid makes his return to the WWF from WCW now known as X-Pac and joins DX. And in the main event cage match, the New Age Outlaws join the DX army!
