At Survivor Series it was being built as Triple H defending the WWF title against Rock and Austin. At the PPV Austin gets run down and Big SHow is the replacement. My Question is, did they know Austin couldn't compete in the match before the PPV? Or was it a last minute thing? I don't understand why they would announce it on Raw and SD with those three if they knew Austin couldn't wrestle...

They got rid of him at the show for shock value and for the "hit and run" angle that would play out over the next year.

That was going to be the match of the year in 1999 if it did go down, we all know. They were my three favorites at that time.
