In an interview with Hacksaw Jim Duggan to discuss his new book:
"Hacksaw, The Jim Duggan Story." In the book, Duggan explains that when
he made his WCW debut in September 1994 at Fall Brawl, he faced Steve
Austin for the U.S. Title and says he felt Austin sandbagged him in the
match.

Duggan on Austin: "Yea, I think that was when the business started
changing. Contracts started getting involved. Guys started worrying
about there own personal image and how they would move on from 1 company
to another. That was the change from the old days when you would pass
the torch if you were leaving. You did the job for the guy. The guy did
the job for you. That was the 1st time I saw that where Austin was
worried about taking care of himself and went down with the bogus injury
shortly into the match. "I had words with him right after it happened
and the little bit right then. Of course he went on to have an
outstanding and unbelievable career. Obviously the guy was very
talented, not my favoirte person to say the least."
