With Austin already laid out, Mark Henry backed up then proceeded to nail Austin with a running splash. Henry walked over to a table of sorts, and picked up a microphone. He turned around to find Austin on his knees, using a doorknob to aid him back to his feet. As Austin slowly got up, Mark Henry began to senselessly beat him with the mic. Austin fell to his knees again, but managed to block a microphone shot, allowing him to nail Henry with a low blow. Henry fell to the ground and clutched his crotch in pain, eyes beginning to water. Austin got back up to his feet, then nailed Henry with a huge Chipper. He then grabbed a huge steel trash can, which he emptied out to reveal a few crumpled up wads of paper, a 2x4, and a broom. Henry, now on his feet, turned around to have a broom snapped in half over his head. This stunned him long enough for Cross to grab the trash can, then toss it over Henry's head. Austin dropkicked him down, then hit a quick flip senton, denting the trash can and fitting it over Mark's head. Austin quickly went for the cover on Henry, trash can still stuck around his massive skull.
1... 2...
Mark Henry powered out just as the referee counted two. Henry yanked the trash can off his head, then cracked it over Austin's skull in return. Austin turned around, stunned, and Henry took him down with a massive big boot. He hit another splash, then went for the cover.
1... 2... kickout!
Henry picked Austin up by the neck, then, still holding on to his throat, tossed him halfway down the hallway. Nearby there was a huge, blue set of double doors. Mark Henry pushed one open, then leaned against it and grabbed Austin by the hair, tossing him out into a massive parking garage. The referee followed close by, and watched as Henry began to lift Austin back to his feet. Austin nailed him with multiple double axe handles before low blowing him once again. Austin scanned the parking lot, and noticed a stray shopping cart sitting in the middle of a parking space. He walked over and grabbed it, then pulled it back to gain momentum and shoved it towards Henry with full force, knocking the giant off his feet. Austin set the shopping cart aside, then attempted to lift Henry up. He struggled, but just didn't have the strength to do so, allowing him to counter with a mammoth headbutt. Austin quickly reacted with a superkick. Henry stumbled back, and Austin hopped up over his shoulders. He backflipped, and dragged Henry over into the shopping cart with a hurricanrana! Henry lay in the cart motionless, and Austin quickly grabbed the handles. He used the same strategy, recoiling it before letting go and sending Henry, cart and all, crashing into the wall. The force sent the shopping cart rebounding back, and Henry fell over. Austin wasted no time to pin Henry.
1... 2... kickout!
Austin stood up, frustrated, then began to search around for another weapon. After all, this was for the Hardcore Championship. And you just can't have a Hardcore Championship match without a little blood... during his search, Austin ran into a massive semi truck. It was even bigger than Mark Henry! He opened up the door, and peeked inside. Some jackass left the keys in. He shrugged, then climbed into the driver's seat. He turned the keys, and the truck's engine began to churn. He pushed on the gas, and the truck rolled towards where Henry was. Henry heard the truck's engine, and turned over to see it coming right towards him. He quickly rolled out of the way right before he was flattened by the ten-wheeler. Austin stomped on the brakes, sending the truck screeching to a stop and Austin catapulting forwards in the seat. He hopped out, then ran towards Henry, who was now back on his feet. Henry quickly countered into a back body drop, sending Austin's spine crashing into the completely unprotected concrete floor. Henry took Austin's place, browsing around for more weapons. He grabbed a hold of a ladder, which he carried back to where Austin was. He set down the ladder, then went back to Austin. Austin temporarily blinded him with a quick eye gouge, then took a hold of the ladder. He picked it up, then leaned it against the truck then nailed Henry in the gut with a toe kick before hitting a sunset flip powerbomb. With Henry now grounded, Austin began to climb the ladder up the truck. He got to the top, then sat down and stared at Henry, waiting for him to get up. Once the behemoth finally got to his feet, he noticed Austin and began to follow him up to the roof of the truck. They brawled, trading punches and, occasionally, in Austin's case, kicks. Austin quickly took the upper hand, nailing Henry in the skull with a massive buzzsaw kick that sent him toppling off the roof of the truck to the concrete below! Austin stared, shocked, then slowly began to climb down. He grabbed a motionless Henry, then slowly began to lift him up. Henry stumbled to his feet, and leaned against the truck for support as Austin scrambled up the ladder. Henry went to walk away, but his leg gave in and he fell to his knees. As Henry attempted to regain his balance, Austin flung himself off the top of the truck. Henry turned up just in time to see Austin coming down with his finisher, the crossbody. Austin took down all three hundred and ninety-eight pounds of Henry with the move, then lay on for the cover.
1... 2... 3!
By now, Henry was gushing blood out the side of his head due to the strength of the buzzsaw kick. A tired Austin barely got back up to his feet in time to be handed his new championship by the referee. He raised it in victory as the ref came to Henry's aid and the screen faded to black...
