Mankind shows up wearing his "Rock 'n Sock Connection" jacket. Last night, he shared one of the greatest celebrations of unity and camaraderie last Monday on Raw, and he was damn proud to be a part of it. The crowd chants "Rock 'n sock." Mankind gives a special thanks to the dozens - and dozens - of his fans for making it all happen, but says there was one man who tried to poop on their party by taking something that did not belong to him: Val Venis. Val Venis shows up, and tells Mankind he has two beautiful women in the back and he is a busy man, and that it is not his birthday. Mankind says he knows what Val Venis has in his pants, and he both wants and needs it. He then says he will turn his back, and tells him to whip it out and give it to him. Val Venis says he does not swing that way. Mankind says that what he is looking for is a few inches long, is white and has a big, beautiful head on it, and tells him to whip it out and place it in his hands, or else he will reach into his pants, whip it out and put it in his mouth. Val Venis says he had no idea Mankind was like that, and says he only putts from one side of the green. Mankind has to show him the GTV footage from Monday which shows Val Venis finding Mr. Rocko and stuffing it in his pants. Val Venis says that was a joke for all the guys in the back, but Mankind says he and The Rock does not appreciate his sense of humor, and says The Rock wants Mr. Rocko back. Venis gets out of the ring as Mankind grabs at his crotch and apologizes, saying he did not know that Mr. Rocko meant that much to him, and says he will head back to the back and find Mr. Rocko.

Lilian Garcia interviews The Rock, who says that if WWF Chairman Vince McMahon wants to give him the consolation prize by making him special guest referee for a WWF Championship match like it's Let's Make A Deal, then he will open door number 2 and shove Vince's roody poo candy ass right through it. In due time, he will become WWF Champion, but until then, he will call the match down the middle. He says that Triple H and The British Bulldog can beat the crap out of each other, and The British Bulldog can also bend down while Triple H sticks his three-inch nose straight up Bulldog's candy ass.

Mark Henry grabs the microphone and tells D'Lo Brown he has something to get off his chest, and admits that he is a sex addict and that he has lost his fiancee, thousands of dollars from flying people to his house, and lost his best friend in D'Lo Brown. He says that even his mom is seeing him admit to this, as well as all the people in his hometown and where he lives. He starts crying, as he thinks everybody is laughing at his pain. He says that he wakes up in the morning and thinks about sex and things that he has never thought about before. He even says that at lunch, he thinks about sex.

He tells Chyna she will understand the role of a woman, because he will beat her with every household appliance known to woman. As a little demonstration, he calls out any women who wants to "get their carpet cleaned" so he can give them "the old oatmeal demonstration." All of a sudden, he notices Cindy Margolis again, and asks if she learned a few weeks ago that a woman's place is in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. He also notices Heather Kozar, and dares them to come to the ring for a 2-on-1 handicap match. All of a sudden, as Cindy and Heather climb over the guardrail, Debra shows up.

Mankind then calls out Val Venis, who gets in the ring and makes it clear that he respects him, as nobody has done more for the business than him. He says that if it were not for him coming 20 feet down from the cell and destroying his body - among other things - his paycheck would not be what it is today. He gives Mr. Rocko back, but tells Mankind to close his eyes. He says he knew Mankind was a little crazy, but now he just wants to feel his nuts.Val Venis then grabs at Mankind's crotch with a testicular claw with Mr. Rocko, and Stevie Richard tries to pull him off.

During the match, The Rock does not seem to care about either participant in the match - or the match itself, as he guests on commentary briefly - and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is seen watching the match from the locker room. Eventually, Triple H gets fed up with The Rock when he claps at him during a pinfall, and fights him only to get a Rock Bottom. The British Bulldog then goes for a pinfall as The Rock guests on commentary again, then The Rock counts the pinfall and speaks on a microphone at the same time, saying "One...two...it doesn't matter if The Rock counts to three!" The British Bulldog then grabs the WWF Championship and tries to hi The Rock with it, but The Rock sees it coming, punches him, grabs the WWF Championship and hits both Bulldog and Triple H in the head with it. After stomping Triple H a few times, he hits The Bulldog with The People's Elbow (with an impressive slide right before the elbow) before posing with the WWF Championship on the top rope and running off with it. When Triple H asks for the WWF Championship, timekeeper Mark Yeaton tells him that The Rock ran off with it. Triple H beats the crap out of Mark Yeaton, then heads to the back. Backstage, Triple H looks for The Rock, and punches people out as he does. He eventually finds The Rock, but in this case, The Rock finds him and hits him from the side with the WWF Championship. The British Bulldog then runs in and brawls with The Rock, and they both take it outside. Triple H gets the WWF Championship back after The Rock drops it, then heads to his locker room.

The referee strike has officially ended, and the official referees return to work tonight.

Triple H says he does not give a crap what the fans think of him, and tells them they can rest assured that every single time he holds the WWF Championship in the air, they can kiss his ass. Last night, he proved to the world again that he is beyond the man, and that he is stronger than all and indeed the game. As a matter of fact, he is the best game there has ever been in this business. Last night, he got into the ring with six of the best professional athletes in the game today, and when all was said and done and everything was finished, he proved to the world that they were not even in his league. The sweet justice of it all and the best thing of the night was that none other than "Stone Cold" Steve Austin had to get down on his hands and knees and had no other choice but to count the pinfall on The Rock. He tells Austin it will not stop there, as he is next and he will be the last notch on his belt of success, as he will not rest until he beats Austin's ass right in the middle of the ring. Suddenly, The British Bulldog shows up and tells Triple H to forget about Austin right now, because both of them made a deal last night that if either one of them became WWF Champion at Unforgiven, the other would get the first shot the next night on Raw. He also tells Triple H he bailed him out last Thursday on SmackDown, and he did not come back to the WWF for nothing; he came back to become WWF Champion, and tonight, the title is going around his waist. Triple H tells Bulldog to calm down, and tells him "I lied to your ass. You ain't gettin' nothin.'" Bulldog says they can do it any way they want it, because tonight, he will take him out right now or he can take him out later tonight for the WWF Champion, and tells him the choice is his. Triple H tells Bulldog "screw you," and Bulldog calls Triple H an "arrogant son-of-a-bitch," says he would say that, and immediately hits him with a double leg takedown. Chyna hits Bulldog from behind, and Triple H hits Bulldog with a low blow before he and Chyna take the boots to Bulldog. Referees show up to restore order, then WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up. Vince congratulates Triple H on becoming WWF Champion once again, and hopes Bulldog caused him no bodily harm; however, he is disappointed to hear he is reluctant to defend the WWF Championship tonight. He will be doing that, however, it will not be against The British Bulldog; instead, it is against the person Bulldog screwed out of the victory: The Rock. Triple H is livid.

Last night at Unforgiven, they were completely out of hand, and tonight, he and Prichard will put them back in their place. He says it will be "a battle of the sexes," and says they will see if they have the balls to accept.
Before the next match, Chris Jericho brags about ending "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrocks' career and says he survived their encounter with only a body cast and traction to worry about, as he is one bad mamma jamma. He plans to add to his track record by ending the career of "the WWF's biggest waste in sperm" in Big Show, and when he is finished with him, he will never, ever bore the Jerichoholics again. Prince Albert shows up on commentary so he can get a closer look at Big Show, saying he will chop him down to size.

Mankind is seen taking to the person in the black cloth, saying that when The Rock sees them, he will go completely nuts. Stevie Richards shows up dressed like Dude Love, and asks Mankind a favor, saying he wants to be Dude Love because Dude Love is a chick magnet. Mankind tells him to go out there and have fun, and to stock up on the oysters and Vitamin C. He then tells the person in the black cloth "The chicks hated Dude Love; it was all part of the gimmick!"

Michael Cole interviews Chyna, who tells him that he couldn't stop him from getting in the ring with Jeff Jarrett and "Doctor" Tom Prichard after what happened last night at Unforgiven. She tells Debra that she has no grudge against her, but when she gets in the ring with her, she just might be a casualty, and warns her to stay away.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up. Austin says one can only imagine that when he made it to Greensboro, North Carolina, he was a little surprise and even more pissed off that Triple H was ordered to defend the WWF Championship against The Rock, and not against him as promised. He wants what is his, and wants WWF Chairman Vince McMahon in the ring as he has some explaining to do. Vince shows up, and publicly thanks Austin for reinstating him to the World Wrestling Federation, and that he is still entitled to his title shot. He did not say when he would get the title shot, however; nevertheless, he will live up to his word and get it at No Mercy in three weeks' time regardless of who is the WWF Champion. Austin tells Vince that had better happen, or he will stomp a mudhole in his ass and walk it dry like never before.

WAR ZONE
Mankind shows up with presents and gifts. The person in the black cloth is not following him there. He says everybody knows what he did to The Rock at Unforgiven, and admits he now has to live it it. He has stayed up all night to find a way to make it up to The Rock, and he has it in the form of birthday balloons and presents, and says that in his heart, "The Rock and Sock Connection" lives on. He asks the production crew to play The Rock's music. If The Rock comes out, he will take it as a sign of forgiveness; if he does not, then "The Rock and Sock Connection" is dead. It does not take long for The Rock to show up, and says he is not in a very good mood after last night. He says he does not need any apologies, and if he got his ass whupped, he got it whupped by himself; if he whupped ass, he whupped it himself. He then asks Mankind what he wants as he a a title match tonight. Mankind says he has the feeling The Rock will like this, "this" being The Rock's life. Celebratory music plays as pyro hits above the ring, then confetti and balloons drop down the arena from the ceiling. Mankind then asks The Rock if he remembers a certain voice. A voice of what sounds like an old woman asks "Dwayne, would you like to answer that important question?" The person in the black cloth is at ringside now, but that voice is not coming from that person; it instead comes from The Rock's 6th grade home economics teacher, Mrs. Betty Griffith (though the name plate reads "The Rock's 6th grade English teacher, Mrs. Shubert;" she will be known from this point on as Mrs. Griffith). Mankind says that as The Rock's 6th grade home economics teacher, she was the first one to smell what The Rock was cookin'. The Rock remembers her, and asks if she remembers if the only thing he wanted to do in her class was make pancakes and she never let him make the pancakes; instead; he always made chocolate chip cookies and blueberry muffins, but never pancakes...until the end of the school year. The next day, however, she was all out of Aunt Jemimah. He asks if she still likes to cook and bake bread, and asks if she "knows her rolls." The Rock then tells Mrs. Griffith to know her role and shut her mouth, take a little walk down Jabroni Boulevard, take a right on Jabroni Drive, proceed to check her "Aunt Jemimah, no-pancake-havin' ass" directly into the Smackdown Hotel. Mrs. Griffith leaves the ring, and Mankind apologizes to her. Mankind tells The Rock he has another surprise for him. A gravelly, male voice is heard saying "Alright, Johnson...hit the ground and let me see you do me 20!" Coach Hart of the Freedom High School Warriors heads down to the ring, and credits him as the man who gave The Rock his testicular fortitude that became an All-American at the University of Miami (Ohio). (It is noted that Coach Everett Hart comes down to the ring to "I'll Be Your Hero," which was the same song used in the Lex Luger music video from SummerSlam 1993.) The Rock asks Hart if he remembers the last game of the season, when there was two minutes left and he made the quarterback sack, and when the quarterback went for a high-five, he gave him a boot and a DDT right in the middle of the field. He then chews out Coach Hart for making him run sprints in front of all of his fans for it. The Rock then says that is a really nice wrestle around Coach Hart's neck, and asks if that is the same whistle he used that night, and asks him to give it one more blow for The Rock. He then wants to do something special with that whistle: take the whistle, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways and stick it straight up his candy ass. Coach Hart leaves the ring, and The Rock tells Mankind to get this over with. Mankind then proceeds to show everyone (he initially says "the millions," but The Rock tells him to never do that again before doing it himself) a different side of The Rock that he knows pretty well: the sensitive side. A voice says "Dwayne...can I please run my fingers through your hair one more time." The Rock's high school sweetheart, Miss Joanne Imbriani, shows up. (SHe shows up to Lex Luger's "Narcissist" theme.) He asks Joanne if they remember every Saturday night when they sat on his parents' couch and they would kiss a little bit, and says she loved his tongue. He asks if she remembers when she nibbled on his ears and whispered "Go for it, go for second base." As he put his hand ever so gently on her knee, slid it up inch by inch, he got cut off on second base. He then says he is not the guy to hold a grudge, as she stands before him wanting to go one-on-one with The Great One and serve him a piece of "that poontang pie." The Rock says he loves pie, then tells her to "poontang [her] ass on outta here." As she leaves, The Rock then tells Mankind to shut up as everyone is chanting his name, and Mankind said that his home economics teacher would be a bitch, that his high school coach would be a jerk, or that his high school girlfriend would be a skank. He promises that tonight will be a special night, as they are going to open "The People's Presents." Mankind hands The Rock a box, and inside is a "Rock 'n Sock Connection" jacket. Mankind pulls out another one, and he puts his jacket on before staring a "Rock 'n Sock" chant. He hands him another present - this one much smaller than the first - and inside is a sock with The Rock's face on it, which has been christened "Mr. Rocko." He then reveals who the person in the black cloth is: Yurple the Clown. (Just like the last time she appeared, she comes out to Doink's face entrance. Yurple the Clown is perhaps best known before this as the clown that Mankind brought to Vince McMahon's hospital room last year.) Just like last time, she puts stickers on The Rock as well as a streamer. Mankind stands up for Yurple when The Rock says it doesn't matter what her name is, and tells The Rock that he is a very ungrateful little man. She then leads the arena in a "Happy Birthday" sing-along for The Rock as somebody brings a cake with two candles and a Brahma Bull on it to the ring. The Rock says he is naturally appreciative to all of his fans, but to Mankind, "The Rock's birthday is May 2nd, you stupid son-of-a-bitch!" Mankind says he knows that, but every moment he spends time with him, it feels like somebody's birthday. The proceedings are spoiled by Triple H, who runs in swinging a sledgehammer as Mankind, Yurple and The Rock get out of the ring (which puts an end to the highest-rated segment in Raw history).
Before the next match, "Road Dogg" Jesse James tells the entire tag team division that if they think that they are not worthy of wearing the tag team titles, then any two men in the back can challenge them right now.

Before the next match, Jeff Jarrett asks Chyna if she will run and hide like every woman should, or if she has a set to step into a man's world. When Chyna fails to show up, he says women are good for cooking and cleaning, but is unable to say the third thing when Chyna shows up. Chyna says Jarrett is confident that she can't beat him, and tells him to put his money where his mouth is. She will face him under one condition: if she pins him tonight, she wants her rematch for the WWF Intercontinental Championship at No Mercy. She then questions if Jarrett has the balls. Jarrett says there is no chance in Hell she will win. Debra then shows up and flashes her puppies on the apron, and a distracted "Doctor" Tom Prichard gets a low blow from behind by Chna.
Chyna and Debra beat Jeff Jarrett and "Doctor" Tom Prichard. As Jeff Jarrett goes for the Figure Four Leg Lock on Chyna, Debra gets in the ring and grabs Jarrett by the hair.

Al Snow retains the WWF Hardcore Championship against The Big Boss Man in a Kennel From Hell Match after breaking out of Boss Man's handcuffs from the corner and pulling Head out of a sack full of weapons introduced by The Big Boss Man and using Head as a weapon. The match becomes a notorious dud in the years to come due to the Rottweilers not being the attack dogs that they are supposed to be compared to previous weeks, with one of the dogs relieving themselves on their way into the cage. Once the dogs are in, they are more interested in each other than Al Snow and The Big Boss Man. After the match, The Big Boss Man quickly gets out of the cage, and the dogs - with their handlers - go after him as he runs to the back. The Brooklyn Brawler is the referee for this match.
Michael Cole interviews Mankind, who says that if the opportunity presents himself, he will look up at the crowd as his dozens and dozens of fans chant "Rock and Sock," and he will proceed to lay the smacketh down on The Rock's candy ass.
Before the next match, Chris Jericho welcomes the fans to "Charlotte is Jericho." Not only is he here to save the World Wrestling Federation and the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, he is here to save this pay-per-view by giving the fans what they really, truly wanted to see: him. He says that if X-Pac were foolish enough to take "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock's place, that is just fine, because he will have to end his career as that is what all the Jerichoholics came to see.
X-Pac beats Chris Jericho by disqualification. "Doctor" Tom Prichard is the referee for this match. During the match, Curtis Hughes gets in the ring and punches Prichard out before doing the same to X-Pac. Prichard calls for the bell as Hughes and Jericho gang up on X-Pac. "Road Dogg" Jesse James runs out and evens the odds, and he and X-Pac fight back against Jericho and Hughes, who high-tail it out of the ring.
Triple H beats The Rock, Big Show, Mankind, Kane and The British Bulldog in a Six-Pack Challenge to win the WWF Championship for a second time. Jimmy Korderas is the referee for this match, and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is the special guest enforcer, though Austin guests on commentary as soon as the match begins. During the match, the real referees of the World Wrestling Federation show up to watch this match from ringside, and they eventually drag Korderas out of the ring to gang up on him for crossing the picket line. Austin runs down to the aisle and fights all the other referees, then has to run into the ring to count a near-fall for The Rock as he pins Triple H as Korderas is incapacitated. Austin gets dragged out of the ring by Big Show, Bulldog hits The Rock with a steel chair, Triple H hits Bulldog with the chair, then Triple H hits The Rock with a Pedigree. Austin counts the three-count for Triple H, who takes back the WWF Championship. Triple H snatches the title from Austin and raises it up, and Austin answers by hitting him with a Stone Cold Stunner.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for September 23, 1999
WWF co-owner - now chairman - Vince McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. He introduces the fans to the man who claims to be the next WWF Champion and the man to win the first-ever Six-Pack Challenge to win the title at Unforgiven this Sunday: Triple H. Triple H and Chyna show up. Now that he is back in control of the WWF, being called an asshole is not good for Triple H. The headache he gave him on Raw is nothing compared to "the full-blown migraine" he will give him tonight. He doesn't want Triple H to think he holds a grudge just because he attempted and threatened bodily harm on every one of his family members, attempted to manhandle his son, soon-to-be son-in-law and wife, and busted him open. Instead of holding a grudge, he will get even, and rather than wait until this Sunday's Six-Pack Challenge, he will have face all those opponents individually. He will face The Rock in a Brahma Bullrope Match, The Undertaker is a Casket Match, Mankind in a Boiler Room Brawl, Kane in an Inferno Match, and Big Show in a Choke Slam Challenge Match. In fairness, he does not have to win all the matches to keep his place at Unforgiven, saying three out of five will do it. An angry Triple H lashes out at Vince, but Vince tells him to save his aggression for his Choke Slam Challenge Match with Big Show, which happens next.

Lilian Garcia interviews Chris Jericho, who says he has challenged "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock to a First Blood Match because he has proven week after week that he, not Shamrock, is the world's most dangerous man, and he will not wait until Sunday to see his blood and end his career. When his blood is shed all across the ring, it had better not get on his clothes as he guarantees that everyone will not see his own blood tonight.

He says men are dominant and women are weak, and when he bitch slaps Chyna at Unforgiven, she will understand reality. Jarrett then says that Debra's "malnourished puppies" are at home, licking their wounds, because she entered his world and got the Figure Four Leg Lock for it. Jarrett then eyes a female stage manager at ringside who is telling him to wrap his promo up, calls her a skank, and asks if she is telling him what to do. He gets out of the ring, tosses her notes into the ring and tells her to get in there and do what women are designed to do: clean crap up. After she gets in, Jarrett attempts to lock in the Figure Four Leg Lock when Chyna runs in and hits Jarrett in the back of the head with a frying pan. He then places a frying pan and soup ladle in his hands before dressing him in the apron before taking Jarrett's wrestling shorts and putting them on. Chyna tells Jarrett that at Unforgiven, he will be seeing who is wearing the pants as well as his Intercontinental title.
Triple H beats Kane in an Inferno match. . The Brooklyn Brawler is the referee in this match. During the match, X-Pac is seen lying on the stage, and Kane notices this as well as The Undertaker, Mideon and Viscera approaching X-Pac, who is bloodied. Kane goes up to the top rope, jumps over the flames and goes after Mideon and Viscera, who set Kane on fire, ending the match. After the match, Kane checks on X-Pac. Triple H is now 1-1 in his challenge.
Kane is distraught after the pain that X-Pac has been put through. Lilian Garcia is then seen interviewing The Undertaker, Big Show, The Undertaker, Mideon and Viscera.

The Undertaker then says he may not be participating in anything, and tells Vince to deal with that.
Before the next match, The Rock says Triple H runs his mouth about how he is "the game," and tells him to go back to the drawing board because his game plan absolutely sucks. He also has a game of his own: earlier tonight, he was talking to a couple of athletes by the name of Mike Modano and Brett Hull, and he told them that tonight, he will whip Triple H's ass all over the arena in the first-ever Brahma Bull Match, but he wanted to do something a little extra special for Dallas, Texas. He asked if he could borrow the Stanley Cup, and after they agreed, he says that this game is special as he will take the Cup, hold it up to the light, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways and stick it up Triple H's candy ass. Mankind shows up, and tells The Rock that he does not know a lot about Lord Stanley, but when he heard The Rock needed a cup, he got him one. He then pulls out a protective cup, as he speaks for everyone when he says that "The People's Jewels" must be protected so that one day, we can have a "Rocky Jr." running around. He has to disagree with him on one thing: he wants to see the Brahma Bull Match, but he says people want to see his Boiler Room Brawl match more. He says he knows every inch of the boiler room, and what he has there is a special metal pipe. He plans to take that metal pipe, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways and...hit him right over the head with it, due to The Rock starting a hole through him. Suddenly, "Road Dogg" Jesse James is seen for the frist time since Chris Jericho injured his back five weeks ago. He tells The Rock and Mankind are overlooking the fact that they are the WWF Tag Team Champions, and that means a little something to him. He says he's got registry at The Smackdown Hotel, but he is not sleeping single as nobody wants to see a Brahma Bullrope Match or a Boiler Room Brawl, but they do want to see a tag team match. He brings out "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn, and for the first time since earlier this year, Road Dogg and Mr. Ass are back together as The New Age Outlaws.

He says Sid has been a great intimidator over the last several months, but intimidation is his game. Once the hunted, he is now the hunter, and there is no fear in his eyes; only anger, which is directed and will be taken out on Sid. Goldberg gives Sid five weeks, because at Halloween Havoc, the United States title is his and Sid is next.

Between now and Halloween Havoc, Goldberg cannot come within 10 feet of him or touch him. If Goldberg doesn't do what he says, he will lose his opportunity. If he is a good boy, he will become just another work on his march to the year 2000, when he will be declared "The Millennium Man" and hold the record of WCW, and there is nothing anybody can do about it. Sid then puts Karagias in a powerbomb before pinning him, increasing the streak to 86-0.

He says he was watching SportsCenter the other night and hearing about athletes beating records, but he has been chasing the record of Wilt Chamberlain, who says he has laid down 20,000 women. Come January, he will meet that milestone, and he asks if any freaks want to help him break that record, all they have to do is meet him in the back, as all his freaks know that there's nothing finer than Scott Steiner and that nobody pushes it like Poppa Pump. He tells all the freaks that he is his hook-up, and to holler if you hear him. Last time he was in WCW, he was the United States Heavyweight Champion; now Hulk Hogan has left the nWo and is making him puke yellow and red. He says that Hogan has forgotten the nWo's motto: "You don't leave the nWo until we tell you."

Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 20, 1999
RAW
WWF co-owner and Champion Vince McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. He says that for those who do not believe anything can happen in the WWF, they have to be a believer now. When Triple H personally provoked him last week on SmackDown, it was not about the WWF Championship; it was about kicking his ass. Thanks to - of all people - "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, he became the WWF Champion. Being the champion is all business, however, and as per a previous contract, he is prohibited from participating in day-to-day business activities. He is living up to his word and relinquishing the WWF Championship, and declare as a WWF spokesperson that the winner of this Sunday's Six Pack Challenge will become the undisputed WWF Champion. Austin shows up, and even though he still hates his guts and that Vince may still may hate his, the WWF has not been the same without him. Austin says that by relinquishing the title and taking himself out of the Six-Pack Challenge at Unforgiven, that leaves five people in the match, and nobody knows a six-pack better than him. He proposes taking his place in the match and taking the WWF Championship back. Vince says he cannot do that, as that would be going against the contract. Triple H then shows up with Chyna and his police escort, and tells Vince he cannot and will not. He does not know what they are trying to do, but he has every right to be in the match at Unforgiven. He accuses Vince and Austin of stealing from him like thieves in the night, and taking the WWF title from him. Vince says "I think, here in Houston [, Texas], they're calling your name again, which sets off a flurry of "asshole" chants. Triple H says he doesn't care what the fans think, and says they can all kiss his ass. Austin says he can't hear Triple H because he's got 19,000 people calling him an asshole. Triple H tells Vince he has two choices: give him his slot in the Six-Pack Challenge, or one of his family members will take a ride out of the arena on a stretcher. WWF co-owner Shane McMahon shows up, and says nobody in his family will be hurt by the likes of him, and that tonight, he and Chyna will face him and Vince in a tag team match because "the McMahon boys wanna get them some." Austin asks Vince when he will stop letting his son - whom he calls "hot-headed" - run his company, grow some balls and take the WWF back. Vince says nothing would make him easier, but he states that the contract they signed before Fully Loaded is what is keeping him from doing just that after The Undertaker failed to defeat Austin. Austin asks Vince if his lawyers read the fine print, because the fine print states that only one person can reinstate him into the World Wrestling Federation, and that person is him. Austin says he will reinstate him right now if he grants him a title shot. Vince gives him his title shot, but it will not be at Unforgiven. It will be against the winner of the Six-Pack Challenge, and he knows it will be Triple H as there are five other guys who want to kick Triple H's ass as much as he wants to do it. Triple H says that's fine, but tells Vince "Screw you." Vince says "Screw me, Vince McMahon? No, no, screw you!" Since the referees are on strike, there is a special guest enforcer for the Six-Pack Challenge, and that enforcer is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Triple H is absolutely livid.

She then issues an open challenge to any woman in the crowd. A woman is picked out, but wshe removes her hair - which turns out to be a wig - and reveals herself to be Luna, who beats Ivory in an impromptu match with Steve Lombardi aka The Brooklyn Brawler as the referee.
Michael Cole interviews D'Lo Brown, who states that his match with "Sexual Chocolate' Mark Henry is about a friendship lost. He says that he was helping Mark get in shape only to get stabbed in the back. When he did, he drew a big line in the stand.

Before the next match, The Rock says The Undertaker runs his mouth about "Dark Side Rules" like it is supposed to impress him, and asks if that means that he is going to show up with Mideon and Viscera come down with him and Big Show. He says Mideon has Mickey Mouse tattoos and a 57-pound head, and Viscera looks like a fat-ass Fat Albert wanna-be. The Rock says he writes all his material, then tells The Undertaker to come down to the ring so he can check him into the Smackdown Hotel. The Undertaker then guests on commentary, and says "Dark Side Rules" says he does not come to the match without a plan. Mideon and Viscera show up and become Big Show's tag team partners for the match.
The Rock and Mankind beat The Undertaker and Big Show (with Mideon and Viscera) in a Dark Side Rules Match to become WWF Tag Team Champions again. "Doctor" Tom Prichard is the referee for this match. During the match, Kane shows up, gets on the top rope and hits Big Show with a diving clothesline before knocking Big Show out of the ring. The Undertaker says Kane will pay for this as leaves. Mideon falls victim to a Rock Bottom and The People's Elbow as Mankind puts the Mandible Claw on Viscera.
Terry Taylor interviews Marianna, who has a big red bruise on the left side of her lips. She says that she has done some things that she is not proud of and, in some cases, downright ashamed of. He says that the incident with Shawn Stasiak was a big mistake, and that she has tried to apologize to Chaz repeatedly. Chaz shows up, asking Marianna what she is talking about, and ends up being escorted out of the arena by the police.
Backstage, The Undertaker tells Mideon, Viscera and Big Show that he is sick and tired of Kane, and that he wants Kane's heart in his hands by the end of the night.
As the next match begins, Val Venis shows up with "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman's duffel bag full of weapons, and guests on commentary.
Shawn Stasiak beats "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman. Harvey Wippleman is the referee for this match. During the match, Blackman grabs his bag of weapons and finds a vibrator in his bag. This distracts Blackman, and Stasiak gets the schoolboy pin for the win.
As The Undertaker looks for Kane, WWF co-owners Vince and Shane McMahon talk strategy for their match with Triple H and Chyna.
The Undertaker shows up. The referees are seen watching the ring from a balcony level in the building. The Undertaker tells Kane that enough is enough, and that he has given him every opportunity to earn his respect and his forgiveness for everything he has ever done, but he is weak and a coward. He says that it ends here, and tells Kane to get in the ring as someone is leaving flat tonight. Kane shows up, and The Undertaker says he is going to do what he should have done a long tme ago. Big Show, Mideon and Viscera show up, and Kane notices them. THe Undertaker pushes Kane out of the ring, and Big Show and Mideon attack Kane as Viscera pours gasoline on Kane. As Big Show tries to light a blowtorch, Mankind shows up and strikes them all with a baseball bat before The Rock shows up and does the same.
We see a nearby cemetery in what seems to be footage from earlier today. Outside of the cemetery is a makeshift grave, and Al Snow stands in front of it with two Rottweilers as he holds a shovel in his hand. A cross with the word "Pepper" on it is at the foot of the grave. He apologizes for Pepper for not putting him in a real grave, as the people at the cemetery would not let him. He says he has called the police, and that he has finally given him a real, proper burial of sorts. He hopes that Pepper rests in peace now that his suffering is at an end, and while he let him down in life, he will not let him down in death. Come Unforgiven, he will make sure The Big Boss Man pays for what he did to him and burns in Hell. We then see a still image from GTV of The Big Boss Man urinating on Pepper's grave, as the footage is so vile that it cannot be shown on TV.
Before the next match, The Big Boss Man tries to speak before Hardcore and Crash Holly show up. Hardcore Holly tells The Big Boss Man it takes a big, tough guy to pick on a poor, defenseless animal, and decides to see how tough he is by challenging him to a hardcore match to see if he has what it takes to become a Hardcore Champion. He says he knows he is tough and hardcore 24/7, and since Boss Man is always walking about hard times, but from what he has seen backstage, he couldn't give anyone a hard time, let alone be hardcore.
Hardcore Holly beats The Big Boss Man. The Brooklyn Brawler is the referee for this match. During the match, Hardcore Holly hits The Big Boss Man with a drink pitcher to the face, cutting Boss Man near the eye. Also during the match, Al Snow shows up on the TitanTron. As he tosses a training dummy to two Rottweilers to tear apart, he says to Boss Man "Win if you can, survive if we let you." Boss Man responds by handcuffing Hardcore Holly to the middle rope, and Crash Holly hits Boss Man in the head with a turnbuckle bolt to help his cousin get the win.
A camera is seen at a nearby strip club. "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry is seen being entertained by a dancer when he is attacked by D'Lo Brown.
Backstage, Jeff Jarrett tries to attack Chyna with a guitar backstage. Referees try to restore order and keep Triple H away as Chyna clubs Jarrett repeatedly in the back. WWF co-owners Vince and Shane McMahon makes some last-second preparations.
Before the next match, Triple H says that at Unforgiven, he will prove once again to the world that he is the game, because he will once again be the WWF Champion. When he goes through five others - Undertaker, Mankind, Big Show, Kane and The Rock - he will be the undisputed champion in the World Wrestling Federation, and there is not a damn thing anybody can do about it, including WWF co-owner Vince McMahon and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Austin may be the special guest enforcer, but if he sticks his nose in his business, he will put him back on "the cripple shelf where he left him last summer."
We find out that WWF co-owner Shane McMahon is on his own for the next match as WWF co-owner Vince McMahon is trapped in his dressing room with a forklift...almost. Shane is joined by Test for this match.
Test and Shane McMahon beat Triple H and Chyna by disqualification. "Doctor" Tom Prichard is the referee for this match. During the match, Jeff Jarrett shows up and attacks Test, and Chyna attacks Jarrett before chasing him to the back, leaving Triple H on his own. After Triple H hits Shane with a low blow, he punches out Prichard before laying Test out with a Pedigree. He then does the same to Shane after another low blow. Triple H then grabs a steel chair and works on Test's injured shoulder before hitting Shane with the chair. As Triple H leaves, he is attacked with a steel chair by WWF co-owner Vince McMahon, who is now freed from his dressing room.
