Austin tells Tyson that when he steps in the ring, that Tyson will do what Austin wans Tyson to do. Austin says he wants a piece of Mike Tyson!. He respects what he does but when he calls himself the Baddest man on the planet, he's should be talking about Stone Cold. He can beat him any day of the week, twice on Sunday.
