Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for January 13, 2000

Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley show up to start tonight's show. Stephanie attempts to clear up a misunderstanding, and says no WWF Superstars are leaving this company. She and Triple H have righted the wrongs and have dealt with things in a very fair manner. They are still a little bit confused, as they cannot figure out why anyone would want to leave the WWF and their doors are always open. There is only one thing to remember: only one McMahon is running the company right now, and that McMahon is her and she just happens to be married to the WWF Champion. Triple H says that after last Monday on Raw, he cannot help but feel the need to come out and apologize, and humbly stand before people and say he is sorry, not to the fans or to the "fifty ingrates surrounding the ring threatening to walk," as those 50 people do not understand the sacrifice that he and Stephanie put out each and every week for them. He says he and Stephanie are their leaders, and he is their - and the fans' - champion. He makes no apologies for the fans or the locker room, though he does make apologies to the rest of D-Generation X (X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), saying he was wrong and they all mistakes, and he tried to fix those mistakes with tough love, which DX showed back. When DX walked out, they showed him tough love and he realized the error of his ways. He is now here to apologize as well as to right the wrong to show how sorry he is. He will start with Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, whom he puts in a no-disqualification 2-on-1 Handicap Match against Bradshaw, and if Faarooq interferes, The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) lose their shot at the tag team titles at Royal Rumble. After that match, they will have to face Faarooq in a handicap match, and if Bradshaw interferes, they will lose their tag team title shot. As for X-Pac, he and Triple H will stand side by side and take on Big Show and The Rock in a tag team match. As for Mankind, if he thought he had him backed against a wall on Monday, he was wrong, as he beat him in the center of the ring and left him laying in a puddle of his own blood. At Royal Rumble, what he experienced Monday will be just a taste of what he will experience at Royal Rumble, and he promises his blood will stain New York City and he will beat him worse than he has ever been beaten in his entire life. Since he knows Mankind is in the back, Triple H has nowhere to go or anywhere special to be, and they do not have to wait until Royal Rumble to finish what they started Monday night. Mankind shows up, but it is the fake Mankind, not the real one. The fake Mankind tells Triple H that he is sorry he had to kick his butt last Monday night on Raw, and that he is the greatest wrestler he has seen, watched or thought about in his entire life. He also apologizes, saying that every time he sees him, it just makes him feel more pathetic. Triple H tells the fake Mankind the most pathetic person he has ever seen in his life, and the fake Mankind says he always has been pathetic, especially the past few weeks, but he is beginning to like it. The real Mankind shows up, and says that is enough. If Triple H gets off on making fun of him, then he wants to know how much he wants from him after taking his job and his dignity away before bloodying him last Monday. When he saw the blood go down the drain in the shower afterwards, he started thinking about what Mankind was. He says he is an entertaining son-of-a-gun and a damn good author, as well as one tough S.O.B. and one hell of a fighter. It saddens him to say that after the beating he fave him on Raw, one thing he is not is ready to face him in a Street Fight at Royal Rumble, because Triple H is without a doubt the best in the business right now and Mankind is not much more than a beaten-up, pathetic fool. However, the fans deserve a substitute in that match, and names him right now. He takes his mask and shirt off, and reveals a Cactus Jack shirt to reveal that he is fighting Triple H at Royal Rumble at Cactus Jack. His first official act in his return to the WWF as Cactus Jack is to kick his teeth all over Chicago, Illinois. Mick Foley - as Cactus Jack - gets in the ring and fights Triple H, but the fake Mankind hits him with a steel chair. It has no effect, and as Triple H and Stephanie retreat, Cactus Jack beats up the fake Mankind. Cactus Jack tells Triple H that at Royal Rumble, if he will make him bleed, it will not be the first time not will it be the last, for he has a lot of blood to give. He tells Triple H that he means every word he says when he promises to tear him apart in New York City and take what he holds dear - the WWF Championship - away from him.

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat Bradshaw in a no-disqualification 2-on-1 Handicap Match.

Jonathan Coachman interviews The Rock. The Rock asks Coachman who he is, then Coachman replies. He welcomes Coachman to the WWF as well as his show, then Coachman says they call him "Coach" for short. The Rock if "Coach" means "Coach of the little girl's softball team," then allows him to ask his question. Coach asks how he feels about teaming up with Big Show tonight. Whether it is Big Show or Big Bird, the tag team partner does not matter as long as he gets to Triple H. Since Big Show is his partner, he could not think of a better tag team partner, but he has one more question for Coach: how did he come up with the name "Coach?: Coach answers, but The Rock tells him it doesn't matter.

Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay, Scotty 2 Hotty, Rikishi Phatu) beat The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly) and Al Snow. Al Snow then attacks The Hollys with Head for letting him down, then Too Cool dances.

Big Show says he is excited about tonight, as he finally gets his hands on Triple H and X-Pac, since he has not gotten his WWF Championship rematch and because X-Pac is bragging about how he beat him. As for The Rock, he took The Rock calling everyone else a jabroni personally, and there is no way The Rock will throw him over the top in the Royal Rumble Match rope due to his size. Tonight, he will be a professional and be The Rock's partner, but he does not like him.

Chyna meets up with Tori backstage, saying she has bad news.

Edge and Christian beat Kurt Angle and "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman.

Chyna tells Tori privately that Chris Jericho has fantasies about her in a flight attendant's uniform with no underwear. He also says Jericho is disgusting and constantly talks about how he can add positions to the Kama Sutra. When Tori leaves the room, Chyna is seen smiling.

The Godfather then wants to know what is up with The Headbangers, but Mosh tells The Godfather the problem is with him, as they look better than the hos, who he calls "trolls."

Jonathan Coachman interviews The Rock and Big Show. Big Show says he doesn't care about what The Rock has to say, and tells him he doesn't like him. He tells The Rock to stay out of his way. After Big Show leaves, The Rock says that Big Show will be a worthy opponent at Royal Rumble, but he will never be The People's Champion. Tonight, he is an equal opportunist, and X-Pac will get the back end of his end while Triple H gets the front.

We see footage of Cactus Jack's handicap match against Mideon and Viscera.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho tells Kane he has no problem wrestling him, and tells Kane that Tori is lying to him. He says that Chyna is spreading lies to cause trouble between them, and says there is nothing even remotely attractive about Tori, and says she is not her type. However, it comes out wrong, and Kane threatens to choke slam him while Tori is even more disgusted with Jericho. Meanwhile, Chyna and The Kat are watching the match on a television set backstage.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 13, 1999

RAW

Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon are seen backstage hugging, while WWF co-owner Shane McMahon is seen outside of the arena waiting for WWF Chairman Vince McMahon.

Chris Jericho shows up. He declares that the Intercontinental title is once again around the waist of a legendary and incredibly charismatic showman like himself where it belongs, and just by having it around his waist, he has given the WWF a tremendous amount of credibility and pulled it out of the hole it has dug for itself. He has also proven as a champion that Raw is definitely his show and that "Raw is Jericho." Suddenly, X-Pac shows up and tells Jericho that he doesn't know what he is sicker of: Jericho's crap or that people in the crowd are buying it. All he hears is about how great Jericho is, but he is a lot greater than him at how to treat a lady, and he can ask Tori. If Jericho wants to run his mouth and think he is a legend, then it is time to put up or shut up with the title on the line, and Jericho's ass is his and he's going to smoke it. Suddenly, Chyna and Miss Kitty show up after a referee runs to the ring, and they watch from the stage.

Chris Jericho retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship against X-Pac by disqualification. During the match, Chyna gets in the ring as X-Pac taps out to the Walls of Jericho and punches the referee.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up. WWF co-owner Shane McMahon asks Vince to use his head as he has a sledgehammer in his hand. True to form, Vince bashes the door to D-Generation X's (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) locker room, but nobody is inside. Vince then heads to the ring, but Shane tells Vince that he will not be in the ring with him and that WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon is still his daughter.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon heads to the ring. Vince calls Triple H, calling him a coward and a rapist and asking what he has done to his family and his daughter, WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon. Triple H's music hits, but Stephanie shows up alone. Stephanie asks Vince what he plans to do with the sledgehammer, then dares him to raise the hammer up and bash her brains in, as that will be the only way he will get to Triple H, as they are married. Stephanie says it has always been about what he wants, even at the expense of his own family. She admits she loved Test, but she wasn't ready for marriage, as a marriage to Test what what he wanted. She also says he isn't "daddy's little girl" anymore, and she is doing things her way and it feels "damn good." She admits that she used to get butterflies when Triple H looked at her. She did not want to or mean to, but he looked so strong and powerful, and he outsmarted Vince by making business personal, something she says Vince knows a lot about doing. Stephanie then mentions it has almost since a year since he had The Undertaker abducted and locked ina rat-infested basement with no light, and says Vince put her there before having somebody rummage through the things in her bedroom. She then says the icing on the cake was The Undertaker's attempted wedding and sacrifice, and says she was sacrificed at her own expense so he could screw "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. She then tells Vince "What comes around, goes around," and by Vince hurting her, she got back at him by marrying Triple H, whom she then admits turns her on. As Stephanie leaves the ring, Triple H shows up, and Stephanie stands beside him. Triple H says the one mistake he made last night was leaving Vince in a puddle of his own blood unconscious so he could not see the deal get sealed, then seals it for him again by kissing Stephanie.

Backstage, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon demands he leave, as he cannot breathe the same air as Triple H. As he and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon leave, Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon wave good-bye. With Vince and SHane gone, Stephanie decides that it his time for her and Triple H to take over.

Before the next match, The Rock says there is one fan here tonight who some people may know as Wade Boggs, who is seen in the front row. He has no idea who his opponents are tonight, but since he and Wade Boggs are tight and he knows his favorite food is poultry. He asks Wade Boggs to go home and select a chicken, shine it up real nice and hand it The Rock so he can stick it straight up their candy asses. When The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) show up, D-Von proclaims it is obvious that Mankind and The Rock do not know the three commandments. The Rock stops D-Von in the middle of the third commandment and asks "Who are you two roody poos?" Buh Buh Ray responds, but The Rock mocks his speech impediment when he says it doesn't matter and strikes D-Von, starting the match.

The Rock and Mankind beat The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) by disqualification after Buh Buh Ray introduces a steel chair to the match...almost. Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon show up, announce they are taking over, and then proclaim that as one of their first acts of running the show, the match is officially no-disqualification. The Rock does not care if the match is no-disqualification, and he will whip The Dudleys' monkey asses all night long. He also calls Triple H out, daring him to walk down the ramp and get in the ring so he can whip his ass, and to bring Stephanie with him. The Dudleys then attack The Rock from behind, restarting the match.

The Rock and Mankind beat The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) in a no-disqualification match. During the math, Buh Buh Ray Dudley drags referee Jimmy Korderas out of the ring and punches him, then Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon bring out a man in a referee's outfit and a Vince McMahon mask to make the pinfall for D-Von Dudley. After the match, The Rock drags the masked referee into the ring and Mankind unmasks him to reveal it is Al Snow. Al Snow gets away, then Mankind and The Rock fight off The Dudleys. Referee Jimmy Korderas then gets back in the ring and makes the pinfall for The Rock.

Before the next match, Kurt Angle states that the Olympic creed dictates that it does not matter whether you win or lose, but whether or not you participate in the Olympics. Angle says he has a problem with that quote, as he qualified for the Olympics to only win gold for himself and for his country. However, some did not exactly pull through, and he will not name any names, even though he is clearly referring to "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry. He then asks the crowd to cheer for him, and not the man who stayed out all night in a topless bar the night before he competed and finished 18th place. The crowd starts cheering as Mark Henry seems to be proud of that fact, and Kurt Angle says that if Mark had followed his "3 I's" - Intensity, Integiry and Intelligence - he would have placed first and not dead last.

He implies that Vince McMahon was responsible for the hit and run on Austin after showing the footage of Vince hitting D-Generation X's (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) limousine. He also announces that he pressed charged against Vince and sent him to jail, as everybody knows that DX stand for law and order in the World Wrestling Federation and it was his civic duty as a responsible citizen to put Vince away. He finds it ironic that Vince was here not too long ago talking about how DX being in jail, and says Vince will get a first-hand lesson in what doggy style is all about.

Brent Bozell III, who has had PT0 members write to WWF sponsors advertisers with the goal of tossing WWF off the air. Ross says that Bozell has appointed himself as "your censor" as he and other PTC members have targeted other shows that they consider unsuitable for other people to watch. Ross then asks that the fans exercise their own judgment of what is appropriate for them and their families to watch, to exercise their freedom of expression and freedom of choice (which America is built on), and to write to WWF sponsors and advertisers thanking them for their support of WWF programs and letting them know how much they enjoy watching WWF.

The Rock shows up before Boss Man can say much else, and says there is not but one tag team partner now and forever who he will ever trust: the people. Because they are the people and he is The People's Champion, they will see the Rock Bottom and The People's Elbow.

The Rock beats The Big Boss Man and Prince Albert. During the match, Mankind and Al Snow are seen watching the match from a TV set backstage.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 1, 1999

RAW

The Rock shows up to start tonight's show. In two weeks at Survivor Series, he, Triple H and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will square off for the WWF Championship in a Triple Threat Match. He has dragged both Triple H and Austin down Know Your Role Boulevard, taken the right at Jabroni Drive and check them both into the Smack Down Hotel. He says he will take Triple H's game, fold it back up and put it back in the box, then take Austin's rattlesnake, tie it up in a knot, turn them both sideways and stick them straight up both of their candy asses. As of late, however, there has been someone who has been a bother to him and whom he considers a nobody and a "blemish on The Rock's buttocks," and that person is none other than "Road Dogg" Jesse James. He tells Road Dogg that if he has an itch for him, then he had better come out an scratch. He then takes off his pants to reveal his wrestling tights and challenges him to a match so he can lay the smack down on his candy ass. Road Dogg shows up, and The Rock runs up the ramp to fight him, starting their match. The Rock chases Road Dogg to the back only to be attacked by D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, Road Dogg, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn). Referees and officials have to step in to restore order, then WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up and tells them to get out.

Backstage, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon says he will not have another D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn). Billy Gunn gets a match with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and X-Pac gets a match with Kane. Triple H tells Vince that if he thinks they have problems, then so will he, as there will be another DX night.

Michael Cole is in the trainers room with Big Show, who is getting his left foot taped up. Big Show asks Cole what he would be capable if he was put through the same things that The Big Boss Man put him through, and says he doesn't know what he is capable of, either. He says that what really scared him about dropping the dumpster on Boss Man and Prince Albert is that he did not care. All of a sudden, Big Boss Man and Prince Albert throw a tear gas bomb into the training room. Michael Cole and the cameraman are able to make it out, but not Big Show, who is locked in the room and forced to breathe the gas. Albert and Boss Man then put on gas masks and beat him up.

EMTs administer oxygen to Big Show, who is writhing in pain after the tear gas bomb attack from The Big Boss Man and Prince Albert.

Edge, Christian and The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat Too Cool ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor) and The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly). At the start of the match, it is announced that Big Show's skin coloration is not good as a result of the tear gas bomb from earlier, and that he is being taken to a local medical facility.

Michael Cole interviews X-Pac when Tori shows up and confronts X-Pac for turning on Kane. X-Pac says Tori "has the hots" for Kane, and tells Tori that the fire Kane was in "ain't the only thing that got burn" before giving her the crotch chop and saying "If you know what I mean." Tori calls X-Pac a bastard, and X-Pac dares her to hit him.

Members of the Washington Redskins football team are in the front row.

Mankind is signing copies of his autobiography Have A Nice Day! while Al Snow reads passage from the book., both of which involve "sitting through an Al Snow match."

The Big Boss Man and Prince Albert show up with a cart full of weapons. Boss Man says Al Snow thought it was funny setting him and Prince Albert up on SmackDown, and that he got a big chuckle when Big Show tried to crush them in the car with a dumpster. He then calls out Al Snow, and says nobody pulls the wool over his eyes without getting serious payback, and if he does not believe him, he can ask Big Show, who is in the hospital "sharing a respirator with his father." He challenge AL Snow to a hardcore match, and says he brought the toys and that it is time to play. Al Snow shows up, and says he does find it funny that Boss Man and Prince Albert nearly got crushed, and says there is nothing he would rather do than take Boss Man on for the Hardcore title. Since he brought Prince Albert, however, he has decided to make the odds a little more even by introducing his tag team partner: Mankind..

Al Snow and Mankind beat The Big Boss Man and Prince Albert in a hardcore tag team match. During the match, Val Venis is seen throwing copies of Mankind's autobiography Have A Nice Day! in a trash can. After the match, Val Venis is show pouring gasoline on the books, then lighting a box of matches and setting them on fire. Mankind runs to the back with a fire extinguisher.

Mankind manages to put the fire on his books out, but it is too late.

Chyna and Miss Kitty show up. Last week, Stevie Richards showed up dressed like her after stealing her clothes and destroying an expensive leather outfit in the process. She calls him out so he can destroy - from what she saw - his "very white ass." As for Chris Jericho, Jericho seems to have a real problem with a woman being Intercontinental Champion, which she does not understand as he is the one who comes out "whining and crying like he has a yeast infection" every week. She is starting to wonder if he is crying because she is muscular and bigger than he is, or if it because she is taller than he is, or if it is because she is better than he is. She says that if Jericho were to ask anybody in the locker room, they would tell him she is a worthy Intercontinental Champion, but if he wants her to prove it, she can give him a second opinion when she bitch slaps him across the ring at Survivor Series. Chyna then asks Jericho if the truth hurts. Jericho shows up, but it is not Jericho; it is Stevie Richards dressed as Chris Jericho right down to the hairstyle. This starts a match between Chyna and Stevie.

Chyna quickly beats Stevie Richards. After the match, Chyna is attacked from behind by the real Chris Jericho, who puts her in the Walls of Jericho.

Backstage, D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) are seen coming up with a way to deal with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Meanwhile, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is seen in the locker room.

WAR ZONE

Before the next match, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin says Triple H is not the game, and when he thinks of games, he thinks of tiddlywinks, and says that the WWF Championship is not a game to him. As for The Rock, he will not be sticking a tied-up rattlesnake up his ass, and he dares him to look him in the eye and say what he said about him to his face, because he doesn't think that he can. As far as "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn goes, when someone asked him if he has a match, he simply stated that he has his foot up Billy Gunn's ass. He calls out Billy Gunn, and Billy Gunn shows up. Their match starts quickly.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beats "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn by disqualification after the rest of D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James) tries to interfere. Austin sees them coming and takes them all on with a steel chair, then sits in the center of the ring and drinks a beer as if to dare them to come back to the ring.

Test and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon are seen backstage. Test asks Stephanie if what they are about to do is a good idea. Stephanie says "Absolutely."

WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon accompanies Test to the ring before the next match. Stephanie guests on commentary for the next match. Val Venis then takes the microphone and says he has no problem with Test, then says it's good that Stephanie has gotten over her amnesia and remembered his fiancee, but if she spent one night with The Big Valbowski, it would have been one night she never would have fotgotten. Test takes offense to this and attacks Venis.

Val Venis beats Test by disqualification after Mankind goes after Val Venis and chases him through the crowd. WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon gets in the ring and says that there is an old saying that if you love something, then set it free, and if it meant to be, it comes back to you. She thanks Test for being patient, and says she has never loved anyone more than she has loved him. She breaks from tradition and asks Test "Will you marry me?" Test says yes, and they both kiss.

Test and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon celebrate their wedding being back on the back with family and friends when D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) show up. Triple H says they have not even started to come problems, and insists that tonight will be held night and that they will not be held responsible for what happens to Kane in a few minutes.

Before the next match, X-Pac tells Kane that he had to tell Tori the whole truth about the fire and that she knows he is not that much of a man. It does not take long for Kane to get out of the ring, boot X-Pac in the face and choke slam X-Pac in the ring. The rest of D-Generation X (Triple H, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) show up and gang up on Kane, and Triple H hits Kane with a Pedigree before X-Pac hits Kane with a Bronco Buster.

Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle is coming to the World Wrestling Federation!

D-Generation X is arguing with WWF Chairman Vince McMahon when Kane runs in and attacks X-Pac. Referees and officials have to restrain Kane, and Vince makes Triple H defend the WWF Championship tonight. Triple H puts his hands on Vince, and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon hits Triple H with a double leg takedown, and Triple H says that if Shane wants a piece of him, he's got it.

Before the next match, Buh Buh Ray Dudley is about to speak when someone els'e svoice can be heard, mocking The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley). It is The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh), mocking The Dudley Boyz's look with tie-dye shirt saying "D-D-D Dummy Boyz."

The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) beat The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) with an inside cradle to D-Von. After the match, The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) run in and attack The Heabdbangers until referees show up to restore order.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is seen backstage.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon is the special guest ring announcer for the next match. When Triple H is introduced first, he brings D-Generation X (X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) with him before he gets in Vince's face. After Vince tells him that the crowd is calling his name (which leads the crowd to call Triple H an asshole), Vince announces that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is special guest color commentator for the match. Austin shows up and guests on commentary. Vince then announces that Kane is the special guest enforcer on the outside of the ring, and Kane shows up. Vince then announces that The Rock is the special guest timekeeper, then The Rock shows up. Vince then announces Triple H's opponent, Shane McMahon, as the next WWF Champion. Shane runs to the ring, and the match is on.

Triple H retains the WWF Championship against Shane McMahon. During the match, X-Pac sends Shane over the barricade, and special guest enforcer Kane sends X-Pac over the guardrail and beats him up through the crowd. Later on, Shane hits Triple H with a jawbreaker on the top rope, sending Triple H into referee Earl Hebner. "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn trips Shane off the top rope, and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin runs out from the commentary table and beats him up before hitting Triple H with a Stone Cold Stunner. Billy Gunn then drags Austin out of the ring, and both of them brawl up the ramp to the back. WWF Chairman Vince McMahon then gets in the ring with the WWF Championship in his hands, and tries to hit Triple H in the head with it only to hit Shane. On commentary, Jim Ross says that he hopes the title belt shot to Shane was accidental. Triple H hits Vince with a low blow, then pins Shane to retain the title.

After the show goes off the air, Triple H is celebrating when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin runs in. Triple H sees Austin coming and attacks him, then punches out referee Earl Hebner. Austin hits Triple H with a Stone Cold Stunner. Afterwards, Austin celebrates with a few beers, then Triple H gets up and grabs a beer can thrown into the ring only to look right at Austin. Triple H thinks Austin is going to hit him with a Stunner as soon as he drinks the beer, but Austin says that is not going to happen and tells him to drink the beer and shake his hand. Both of them get a fresh beer, and Triple H fails to catch the beer can out of the air. The crowd boos, and Austin tells Mike Yeaon to throw the beer again. Triple H somehow cannot grab the beers, and decides to stick with the beer can he already has. Triple H tells Austin to shake hands with him and not give him the Stunner. The crowd chants "Beat his ass, Austin, beat his ass." They shake hands and toast beers, then Austin hits Triple H with a Stunner anyway. Austin heads to the stage, but when he notices that Triple H has gotten back up, he flips him off. Triple H flips his off right back, and Austin runs back into the ring to hit Triple H with two Stunners. Austin celebrates, then heads to the back.

The Undertaker is seen assaulting X-Pac backstage before the show starts. (This backstage brawl is also the first promotional appearance of Hansen's Energy Drink, which would later be name-changed to Monster Energy in 2012.) "Road Dogg' Jesse James tries to come to X-Pac's aid, but The Undertaker puts him through a table before taking his brawl with X-Pac to the stage and into the ring. The Undertaker punches X-Pac a few times and is trying to choke the life out of him when Kane runs in and fights The Undertaker. Big Show runs to the ring and grabs Kane from behind. Big Show and The Undertaker end up fighting Kane together, and Kane is eventually pinned to the corner by The Undertaker as Big Show puts the boots to Kane. Once they are done, 'Taker extends his hand, and Big Show shakes it, making their alliance official.

A black limousine is seen pulling up to the arena. WWF co-owner Vince McMahon walks out of the back of the limousine, walking very slowly without the aid of crutches.

We see footage from during the break where Kane helps X-Pac to the back. Before he picks him up, however, Kane lets out a cry of anguish.

X-Pac is seen being placed in the back of an ambulance as Kane watches.

Hardcore Holly is the special guest ring announcer for the next match. He shoves Tony Chimel out of the ring, then says he is doing this because he can. Hardcore Holly then mocks both teams in the next match, one of which is Edge and Christian, who come out through the crowd together for the first time.

The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) beat Edge and Christian. Shortly after the match starts, it is announced on commentary that "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock has been struck by an automobile somewhere behind the arena, and that an ambulance is en route to the scene.

WWF co-owner Vince McMahon is seen heading to the ring, while "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is seen entering the arena.

WWF co-owner Vince McMahon shows up. Ben Stiller of the upcoming movie Mystery Men is seen in the front row, giving Vince the thumbs down. Vince says he has come here tonight not to break a promise or breach a contract, but to honor them, as he has never lied to anyone and has always kept his promises and fulfilled his obligations, and only once has he not made good on his guarantees. Last night, for the first time in his life, he has failed when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin defeated The Undertaker. He says that for those who watched Fully Loaded in its final moments, he was on his knees among the sweat, the beer, the blood and the grim, agonizing in pain after suffering not one but two devastating Stone Cold Stunners. He feels that final moment is not how he wants to be remembered, and he has taken the liberty to come before the fans and make a more formal farewell. He wants the fans to remember him for who he is: a handsome, affluent entrepreneur who left his indelible mark on each and every fan As Vince is about to leave the ring, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up. Vince says he is glad Austin is here, as he has something to get off his chest. He says they both know that on the surface, it would appear as though they are worlds apart, but down deep, they are just alike. The only difference between himself and Austin is that Vince will always consider himself "the better man." To prove it, he extends his hand and says "Put 'er there." After some hesitation, Austin takes the microphone out of Vince's other hand and says he has a problem with shaking his hand after two years, then asks the crowd to give him a "hell yeah" if they want to see him break his arm and shove it up his ass. He says that he can dump Vince on his neck in an instant. Austin then tells Vince that if he thinks he is the better man because he money and power, then he can take those things along with his arm and shove them all straight up his own ass. He says that as much as Vince tried to make his life a living hell, he says the harder he made it, the more he had, and that he is living proof that a sorry son-of-a-bitch like Vince will never beat a son-of-a-bitch like him. He then asks Jim Ross to come to the ring before Vince leaves, and Jim Ross gets in the ring. He says that Vince fired Jim Ross, and asks him to sing "Na Na Hey Hey (The Goodbye Song)" by Steam because he refuses to sing it. "Oh hey hey" is replaced by "Oh hell yeah." Vince angrily leaves the ring, then turns around only for Austin to flip him off - with both hands - one last time. Vince then turns around and flips Austin off right back with both hands before heading to the back. Austin then celebrates int he ring with a couple of cold ones, as does Jim Ross.

WWF co-owner Vince McMahon is seen heading to the limo when ring announcer Howard Finkel catches up with him. He says that after 24 years, he never thought he would say goodbye, thank him for everyone, and that he loves him. Vince angrily tells Finkel to get the hell away from him, then gets in the limo and leaves.

Before the next match, Val Venis says later on tonight will be the time for lovin', but right now, he wants Droz to bring Prince Albert to the ring and bring their stinking carcasses to the ring so that he and The Godfather can light their punk asses up. Ben Stiller is seen on camera again as The Godfather shows up with his hos. It is also announced that WWF will be on the Home Shopping Network immediately after Raw.

Val Venis and The Godfather beat Droz and Prince Albert in a Tag Team Street Fight. During the match, a portly man in all white - including white dreadlocks in a ponytail - shows up and takes the boots to The Godfather briefly before being hauled off by WWF security.

Michael Cole interviews The Rock, who calls Cole an idiot before placing his brand new merchandise on Cole and telling him not to move before he takes the microphone. He says Triple H beat him, but not on his own, and says he is a one-trick pony and a cheap trick circus. His one trick is Chyna and his circus is his ability. As for "Bad Ass" BIlly Gunn, he will take the lips off of his trunk, peel them off, turn them sideways and stick them straight up his candy ass. He then says he sees the way Chyna licks and puckers his lips when she sees him, and says she has a thing for him and is suffering from "Rock fever." He says that the next time they go one-on-one, he wants her to get on his knees and pucker her lips only for him to kick her teeth so far down her throat she will have to stick a toothbrush straight up her ass to brush them. He wants them to know that he has millions of fans who chant his name, then messes with Michael Cole by asking him what is on his hand only to shove said hand up his face when he raises it up.

Ben Stiller is seen in the front row again, and this time his presence is announced by ring announcer Tony Chimel as "the man who loves Debra's puppies."

WAR ZONE

Triple H and Chyna show up. It is announced that Minnesota state governor Jesse "The Body" Ventura will be the special guest referee for Triple H vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for the WWF Championship at SummerSlam. Triple H calls out Austin for getting Jim Ross to sing WWF co-owner Vince McMahon out of the building, and says he does not give a crap because as of last night, it is no longer about Austin or Vince; it is about him. He says that he can beat Austin man-to-man as Austin watches from the locker room. Triple H says he has watched Austin like a hawk for the last six months and has seen every move. He says he has not taken a breathe or batted an eye without him seeing it, and says he knows him like the back of his hand, knowing his strengths and every one of his weaknesses. At SummerSlam, no matter what the hype says, it will not be an out-of-body experience. He then says to Hell with Jesse "The Body" Ventura, because he will not be a factor, and neither will Chyna. He says it will all come down to him and Austin, one-on-one, face-to-face, man-to-man. He says just like him, Austin eats, breathes and sleeps this business. While Austin may be a student of the game, at SummerSlam, he will show him and the whole world that he is the game. Chyna then takes the microphone, and says The Rock talks really tough from the back. She says he has something to say to her, but that it is just too bad he does not have the balls to say it to her face. Triple H and Chyna are about to leave the ring when The Rock shows up. He is about to approach the ring when he is attacked from behind by "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn with the same club that Gunn used at Fully Loaded. Gunn and Chyna take the boots to The Rock, Gunn and Triple H hold The Rock up so Chyna can hit The Rock with a low blow. Gunn then says to The Rock "Rock...now you know your role...bitch!" Triple H, Gunn and Chyna then leave. The Rock then gets back up and tells Billy Gunn that if he has a set of balls - before saying that he knows Chyna has some, too - then their candy asses meet him tonight in a handicap match so he can take both of his boots, turn them sideways, and stick them straight up their candy asses.

Kane beats The Undertaker and Big Show in a handicap match by disqualification after The Undertaker hits Kane in the head with a steel chair. The Undertaker continues to attack Kane after the match, and "Road Dogg" Jesse James rushes in to fight both The Undertaker and Big Show off only to fall victim to a choke slam by Big Show.

Only 335 hours and 39 minutes until the new millennium!

He then calls out Ben Stiller, saying he knows he is here, and tells him to get in the ring as his personal guest. He knows that he is a big fan of Debra's puppies, but makes it clear he can't touch the merchandise. When asked why he is here, he says he is here to see some world classic wrestling while on the road promoting Mystery Men opening next week on August 6th. Jarrett asks why he wasn't cast in the movie, and Stiller mentions the characters in the movie before saying there wasn't a guy powerful enough for Jarrett to portray. He then asks Stiller who his favorite WWF Superstar is. Stiller says it's the puppies. He then gets attacked from behind by Jarrett. Stiller tries to crawl out of the ring, but Jeff Jarrett puts him in the Figure Four Leg Lock as Debra yells at Jarrett to stop. As Stiller is tapping out, D'Lo Brown gets in the ring, and Jarrett lets go to fend off D'Lo only to fall victim to the Sky High followed by the Lo Down. D'Lo then checks on Ben Stiller while Debra leaves with Jarrett.

It is revealed after the break that while D'Lo Brown had Jeff Jarrett in the Sky Hugh, Ben Stiller had his nose in Debra's puppies.

Triple H is seen entering "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's locker room.

Before the next match, Ivory says Nicole Bass is a pain in her and isn't good enough to stand by her. (In reality, she is no longer in the company after leaving and filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against Steve Lombardi aka The Brooklyn Brawler after he allegedly sexually assaulted her backstage. The case will ultimately be dismissed.) She then issues another open challenge for the WWF Women's Championship to anybody in the crowd, and a woman in the crowd with red hair and a skirt is picked out. Ivory then hits her with the Women's title before going to town on her. Suddenly, Tori shows up and gets the better of Ivory as the woman picked out of the crowd is helped out of ringside by WWF security. Referees and officials then show up to separate both women.

Shamrock shows up after his music plays a second time, this time with his ribs and left elbow taped up.

Before the next match, D'Lo Brown calls out Val Venis, saying that tonight's match was supposed to be a mixed tag match between him and Ivory and the team of Venis and Sable only for Sable to bow out of the match due to "previous Hollywood engagements." D'Lo then says that's not his problem, and tells Venis to replace Sable or else he will have "one hell of a handicap match." Venis shows up and says he may not be a one-man band, but after he is through drumming him solo, he may just let Ivory play with his slide trombone.

Backstage, Jerry "The King" Lawler interviews Triple H, who said that his recent actions were a long time coming and that X-Pac decided he was the decision maker.

He then asks X-Pac who told him to think, which he says is not X-Pac's forte, and says that he will be leader, for it is about the pecking order and he will both make and break him.

Shane promises that he will call the match down the middle, then tells "Stone Cold" that if he even so much as lays a hand on him, he will disqualify him on the spot and award the WWF Championship to The Rock. He then asks the fans if they can feel, as his power is in full effect after having seized the power and realized it felt good, then tells his father WWF Chairman Vince McMahon that he is creating a new dynasty for the World Wrestling Federation and a new era and new standard of excellence, and that he is "damn proud of it." Shane then tells Austin that he has been with The Rock day in and day out and knows that The Rock is furious after Austin crushed his $37,000 Lincoln Town Car, and says that it will be electric this evening after what has happened between The Rock and Austin. As Shane finishes talking, a black limousine pulls up outside of the arena, and Vince McMahon comes out of the limo with Stephanie McMahon to end the show.
