Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for September 27, 1999

Hulk Hogan arrives to the arena on a black limousine. No sooner does he come out of the back door that scores of children show up to greet him, and one of them even gets his autograph. All of a sudden, Hulk is attacked from behind by Sting, and his left knee seems to be hurt.

We see a badly edited picture of Kidman with no hair as part of the announcement for Psychosis vs. Eddie Guerrero in a Mask vs. Hair Match for later tonight.

Mike Tenay reports that Hulk Hogan is turning down medical attention to enter the building. Sting is seen watching the show from a monitor backstage, and he says he did not get the job done.

Before the next match, Ernest "The Cat" Miller says Atlanta, Georgia may be his hometown, but he will still whup everyone in it. He says he is the greatest and that he is here to shake up the world...and whup somebody. He says he wants to fight somebody and he wants a title shot, and he is not leaving until he gets a shot tonight. He tells WCW to either send somebody with the gold around their waist, or else he will whup everyone in the building. "The Canadian Crippler" answers the challenge. The Cat says he wanted to start at the top, but since Benoit is out here, he has no problem starting with him and taking the WCW World Television Championship.

"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit retains the WCW World Television Championship against Ernest "The Cat" Miller after Benoit ducks a shot to the head with a red dancing shoe by The Cat, who accidentally nails Sonny Onoo instead.

We see a video package of Sid Vicious' streak.

Before the next match, Buff Bagwell says he's buff, but Atlanta, Georgia is the stuff.

Buff Bagwell beats Vampiro.

A low voice tells Tony Schiavone and WCW that this is the beginning of the darkness that will fall upon them.

We see footage of the inside of a funeral home, where Lex Luger is laying in a casket as a woman shrouded in black sits nearby. We see Lex Luger's spirit coming out of the casket saying that he is no longer with us. We then see the casket being lowered. The woman in black then shows as Luger cannot be referred to anymore as Luger but as "The Total Package," and removes her veil to reveal that she is Miss Elizabeth, who has not been seen in WCW in some time. Lex Luger is now posing in the center of the ring, bigger and in better shape than ever.

Hulk Hogan has a doctor check on him in the training room. All of a sudden, Hogan is attacked with a baseball bat to the leg by Sting.

Before the next match, Shane Douglas tells Dean that The Revolution (Douglas, Perry Saturn, "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit) will watch his back, but Dean Malenko wants nothing to do to it. At the same time, the rest of The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) all head back to the back with the rest of The Revolution.

Rey Mysterio Jr. beats Dean Malenko. During the match, Sid Vicious shows up at the arena in his own car, and gives Rick Steiner a fist bump on the way in.

Before the next match, Jimmy Hart says Goldberg is next.

Goldberg beats Hugh Morrus. During the match, Sid Vicious shows up, and hits Goldberg in the back with a steel chair as soon as Goldberg is tossed out of the ring. Nevertheless, Goldberg is able to kick out of No Laughing Matter and win the match. After the match, Goldberg tells Sid Vicious he has tossed him the ball. He is in his hometown and has never been more serious about kicking a man's ass in his life. He says it's not about who's left, it's who's next.

An ambulance is seen leaving the arena.

We see a video package of tryout for the new Nitro Girl in Cincinnati, Ohio.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund is on the stage with Kimberly and Storm of The Nitro Girls. The two potential finalists from Cincinnati, Ohio are Celentria Adams and Jamie Flowers. Celentria and Jamie are then brought out onto the stage. Once again, viewers are reminded that they can vote on the finalist on WCW.com until 2 AM Eastern time. Next week, tryouts are in Kansas City, Missouri, and will take place at Gold's Gym at 9 AM and at Have A Nice Day Cafe at 9 PM.

Dusty Hill of ZZ Top and Ricky Medlock of Lynyrd Skynyrd are seen in the front row, having been seen earlier during Goldberg's post-match promo.

Before the next match, Berlyn demands total silence from the crowd during the match through ring announcer David Penzer. Not surprisingly, the boos directed at Berlyn get louder.

Berlyn beats Evan Karagias after Karagias is punched out by Berlyn's bodyguard as the referee is not looking. As Berlyn has Karagias in a submission hold after the match, Brad Armstrong runs in and kicks Berlyn out of the hold; this action is met with Berlyn and his bodyguard ganging up on him.

Goldberg is seen backstage looking for Sid Vicious. A person that he finds has Sid's car keys in his hand as he says he hasn't really seen him as of late. Goldberg takes the keys.

Backstage, David Flair gets on the phone and calls Torrie Wilson, asking if she has the number. He writes something down on a piece of paper.

Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) retains the WCW World Tag Team Championships against The West Texas Rednecks (Barry and Kendall Windham) after Stevie Ray hits Kendall Windham in the knee with one of the tag team titles behind referee Nick Patricks' back.

Goldberg makes a phone call to a towing company, telling them to come to the arena.

Before the next match, Rick Steiner tells Van Hammer that Sid Vicious has better things to do than to deal with him, and tells him to come into the ring and face him. Van Hammer shows up.

Rick Steiner beats Van Hammer after referee Charles Robinson has Van Hammer in a wristlock before allowing Rick to hit Van Hammer with a low blow. During the match, it is confirmed that Hulk Hogan was in the ambulance earlier tonight and is currently in the hospital.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. Bret tells "The Total Package" Lex Luger that it will take more than a baseball bat to stop him. He then says that nobody is happier than him to come back to professional wrestling. He says that he has no respect for Luger or Sting anymore, as they are the lowest of the low and the scum of the earth, and when surrounded with people like that, you find people with class, dignity and newfound respect. He calls Hulk Hogan "the Elvis Presely of wrestling," as there will be nobody like him and that he is glad to be his partner. Hulk Hogan may be out, but he will be back. Suddenly, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair shows up as Bret says he has respect for one man more than anyone else in the business: Flair. He says Flair is the best there is, was and ever will be, and he calls it an honor to tag team with him tonight. Flair tosses his Rolex watch away as he proposes they both team up tonight and kick Sting, Luger and Diamond Dallas Page's asses. Flair then tells Hogan he is downtown right now, but he and Bret side-by-side will make history tonight, as they are wrestling. Flair gets extremely fired up concerning Sting, Luger and DDP, and if Miss Elizabeth wants to get in the ring, he'll ride her, too. Bret tells DDP, Sting and Luger to bring it on.

David Flair calls Torrie Wilson, who - unbeknownst to David - is with The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Kidman).

Sid Vicious finds out from the same guy that Goldberg met earlier that Goldberg took his car keys.

Konnan vs. Perry Saturn ends in a no-contest. During the match, Psychosis, Juventud Guerrero, Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Silver King attack Konnan. The rest of The Filthy Animals (Rey Mysterio Jr., Eddie Guerrero, Kidman) run in to save Konnan, and the rest of The Revolution ("The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Shane Douglas) show up as Saturn beats up Eddie, dragging Saturn out of the ring. The Revolution argue over Shane Douglas helping Malenko and Saturn in their matches, with Saturn telling Douglas he did not need his help.

Sid Vicious finds out his car is still in front of the arena, but needs to find his keys. Suddenly, a tow truck shows up...

Goldberg talks to the man in the tow truck, telling him to have the car back at the arena by 11 PM tonight.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Diamond Dallas Page, who says people both love and hate him because he is married to Kimberly, and that people will never forget him because he delivers the goods and is the best two-time World Heavyweight Champion. As for Lex Luger and Sting, he and the two of them are the greatest pool of talent ever, and says they will beat Bret "The Hit Man" and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair tonight.

Jesse Tuggle of the Atlanta Falcons and John Popper of Blues Traveler are seen in the crowd tonight.

Kidman beats Psychosis despite the interference of Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Juventud Guerrera. As per pre-match stipulation, Kidman keeps his hair and Psychosis must unmask. Juvi and Chavo attack Kidman as he tries to unmask Psychosis, and place a towel around Psychosis' face after Kidman unmasks Psychosis during a Tornado DDT. The rest of The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Eddie Guerrero) show up to even the odds.

It is announced that Hulk Hogan will not be in the next match, which will officially become a 3-on-2 handicap match.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair beat Sting, "The Total Package" Lex Luger and Diamond Dallas Page in a 3-on-2 handicap match by disqualification after DDP and Luger choke out Bret with the baseball bat before Luger hits Flair with it. David Flair gets into the ring to fight Luger only to be hit with a baseball bat and a Diamond Cutter, then the ambulance from earlier is seen back at the arena with the back door open before Luger puts Flair in the Torture Rack. As Sting hits Bret in the gut with the baseball bat, Hulk Hogan hobbles to the ring with his left knee in a brace and fights DDP, Luger and Sting all at once before grabbing the baseball bat and hitting DDP and Luger with it. Sting dives out of the ring as soon as he sees Hogan with the bat. Hogan then checks on Bret and Flair.

Sid Vicious finds out his car is back outside of the arena where he parked it...only it is now crushed into a cube.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 27, 1999

RAW

We see footage from earlier today where WWF Chairman Vince McMahon and the front office have addressed the grievances of and come to terms with the referees of the World Wrestling Federation. Jimmy Korderas is seen with a sling on his left arm as Vince McMahon tells the referees that they have all the authority the need to take care of business in the ring, and tells them to seize that authority and take control over the matches and the athletes. The World Wrestling Federation will back them up in any way possible, and asks them to set everything aside and do their jobs. The referee strike has officially ended, and the official referees return to work tonight.

Triple H and Chyna show up. 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.

Jeff Jarrett is seen backstage with Miss Kitty, talking to "Doctor" Tom Prichard. Meanwhile, Mankind is seen with baloons and presents, while a person covered in a black cloth is following him into the arena. We then see Jarrett, Miss Kitty and Prichard heading towards the ring.

In footage from earlier today, Test and Stephanie McMahon get outfits for their wedding.

Jeff Jarrett, Miss Kitty and "Doctor" Tom Prichard show up. Jarrett tells Debra and Chyna to accept their challenge, and no other women will get hurt tonight. 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.

Big Show beats Chris Jericho by disqualification after Prince Albert goes up to the top rope and drop kicking Big Show as he has Chris Jericho up in the air for a choke slam. After the match, "Road Dogg" Jesse James shows up, beats up Curtis Hughes, and forces Jericho to walk off the ramp to take a shortcut to the back.

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!"

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is seen heading to the ring.

TheRock.com - visit now!

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.

We see GTV footage of Terri Runnels and The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) in the dressing room. The Mean Street Posse kick Terri Runnels to the curb, and Pete Gas complains to Rodney and Joey Abs about always being the caboose.

The encore of Unforgiven is tomorrow night on pay-per-view!

D'Lo Brown retains the WWF European Championship against "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman by disqualification after Blackman smacks D'Lo in the gut with a kendo stick. During the match, Droz shows up and guests on commentary. After the match, Blackman finds head of WWF security Jim Dotson in the front row and attacks him, and Droz both stomps and pukes on D'Lo Brown. "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry shows up to check on D'Lo Brown and make up with him as EMTs check on Dotson, but D'Lo Brown wants none of it.

Mankind tells the person in the black cloth not to be too nervous as he takes presents and balloons to the ring.

We see footage from during the break where Mankind and the person in the black cloth run into "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and invite him to come to the party that he is about to throw for The Rock. Austin respectfully declines.

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. Hardcore and Crash Holly are then seen backstage. Crash asks Hardcore if The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) meet the super heavyweight requirements. Hardcore says he doesn't know, but there is only one way to find out, and tells Crash to get the scale.

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) are in the ring when Kane and X-Pac show up. It is not long before Hardcore and Crash Holly come out with the scale and guest on commentary, bewildered that Kane and X-Pac have answered the challenge, saying they had their shot long ago and do not belong here as Hardcore has beaten both of them.

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat Kane and X-Pac by disqualification when Hardcore and Crash Holly attack the Outlaws. Kane and X-Pac help the Outlaws out, then both teams shake hands with X-Pac after the match.

Terry Taylor interview Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah. Moolah says she and Mae Young are here to teach Ivory a lesson: respect her elders. Mae Young calls Ivory a tramp. Moolah tells Mae to calm down, as they are about to teach Ivory that you are never too old to kick some ass.

The Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young beat Ivory in a 2-on-1 Handicap Evening Gown Match. Ivory drop kick Moolah in the back after the match, but Mae Young, who was stripped to her bra and panties before Ivory, chases after Ivory.

We see GTV footage of Val Venis looking into a trash can and pulling out "Mr. Rocko." He then proceeds to stick Mr. Rocko down his pants.

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. Miss Kitty gets in the ring to pull Debra off, but this results in a catfight between Debra and Miss Kitty. "Doctor" Tom Prichard grabs Jarrett's guitar and hits Chyna in the back of the head with it as referee Teddy Long is dealing with Debra and Miss Kitty on the outside, and Chyna falls on top of Jarrett for the three count, giving her the rematch for the WWF Intercontinental Championship at No Mercy.

Triple H nearly trips on the way to the ring in the backstage area.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin guests on commentary for the next match.

The Rock vs. Triple H for the WWF Championship ends in a no-contest. During the match, Triple H punches out referee Earl Hebner after being confronted for bringing a steel chair into the match, then take sthe chair and smashes it into The Rock's head. Triple H then calls out "Stone Cold" Steve Austin from the middle of the ring, and Austin gets in the ring and fights Triple H. Austin hits Triple H with a Stone Cold Stunner, then The Rock hits triple H with a Rock Bottom. The Rock and Earl Hebner both roll towards Triple H at the same time, but The British Bulldog rushes into the ring and attacks both The Rock and Triple H, ending the match. Triple H retains the WWF Championship.
