STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN
Intercontinental Champion
Dec. 13, 1997 - Jan. 18, 1998
After a series of inconclusive rematches, a No-Disqualification match was signed for December To Remember between Steve Austin and Mike Richardson. As fans expected, the New Era got involved once again, but Austin waved them off. This turned out to be a ruse, though, as while Richardson fought off Arn Anderson, Austin took advantage and locked him into the Hollywood and Vine for the submission to retake the Intercontinental title!
