After WrestleMania XV, Stone Cold Steve Austin wanted his Smoking Skull belt back. Instead, Shane McMahon gave it to The Rock, who disrespected it at every turn. The Rock threw the belt into a river after tossing Austin off a bridge, then held a mock funeral for Austin while wearing the stolen title. Austin vowed to get his property back, and at Backlash 1999, he did exactly that, defeating The Rock to retain the WWF Championship and reclaim the Smoking Skull belt.
