Triple H shows up with WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley to start tonight's show. Triple H says that on Monday night, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon had an announcement that would rock the World Wrestling Federation from its foundation, and tonight, Stephanie will make an announcement that will not only rock the WWF from its foundation but also knock it off. In the meantime, Triple H has a question that he needs answered. He mentions the announcement of the main event for WrestleMania taking place that very night and how it was made under the premise that it would never happen again, then talks about how he won the match and retained the WWF Championship only to run into WWF co-owner Linda McMahon - whom he says was "ready to screw [him]" - and placed in a Fatal 4-Way match for the title at WrestleMania with the men he just beat as well as a re-hired Mick Foley. Triple H then asks his question: "Linda McMahon, who the hell do you think you are, to come out here and demand anything of me, to come out here and tell me what I am going to do?" Triple H then demands Linda to come out and tell him who she thinks she is. Linda shows up and reminds Triple H that she has as much stroke as anyone else, and because of that and the fact that Mick Foley is a deserving individual whose dream was to be in a WrestleMania main event, she made the Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match for the WWF Championship. Also, since a McMahon is in the corner of the three other participants, she will be in Foley's corner, and there will be a McMahon in every corner in the Fatal 4-Way Match. She also announces that Mick Foley is coming back for one night and one night only. Triple H tells Linda that he is not buying the "one night only" line, and asks what is next if Foley takes the WWF Championship, as Foley is retired. Linda says that in all likelihood, Foley will win the match at WrestleMania and go out on top as he has always wanted. However, if that were to happen, the title would be declared vacant and held up in a tournament that would take place for the next few weeks until Backlash, where a new WWF Champion would be crowned. Triple H admits that Linda has put a lot of thought into this, but tells her that she has wasted her time as he will be leaving as WWF Champion after beating The Rock first because he hates him the most before beating Big Show and saving Mick Foley for last to spite Linda. He also tells Linda that after brutally beating Mick Foley at WrestleMania, it will be on her, and that he hopes she will remain in Foley's corner afterwards as nobody will be behind Foley by then and Linda will be the one assisting Foley as Foley wonders why Linda could not leave well enough alone until he realizes that she did it because she is "a cold, heartless bitch." Linda is shocked at first, but then she leaves.
Backstage, Ivory gives a very tense and impatient Crash Holly a back massage. Suddenly, Ivory calls for referee Teddy Long before breaking a jar over the back of Crash's head to try to take the WWF Hardcore Championship from him. Crash escapes with the title.
Before the next match, Kurt Angle says he realizes that he made a bid to defend a title against Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho at WrestleMania, but now he has to put up not just one title, but both of them. He then announces that this match is a Two-Fall Triple Threat Match where one fall is for one title and the second fall is for the other. He then says one does not have to be a genius, much less "one of the several dairy farm inbreds from Wisconsin" to figure out that this is a conspiracy against him. He then says that tonight, he will give Benoit a taste of what to expect at WrestleMania with a little touch of integrity, intensity and intelligence (the last of which Angle claims Benoit does not have). Chris Jericho guests on commentary after Chris Benoit makes his way to the ring.
Kurt Angle beats Chris Benoit by disqualification after Chris Jericho hits ANgle in the back of the head with the WWF Intercontinental Championship before hitting Benoit with it and putting Angle in the Walls of Jericho.

Backstage, Kevin Kelly interviews WWF Chairman Vince McMahon. Vince says he has an idea as to what WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley's announcement is. Vince predicts that Stephanie will announce that she is pregnant and that she will deliver an eight-pound baby anteater in nine months. He then says he is proud to be in The Rock's corner at WrestleMania. He also announces that that at WrestleMania, The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) will be defending the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and the team of Edge and Christian in a Triangle Ladder Match. He also announces that tonight, Buh Buh Ray Dudley will go one-on-one with The Rock.

Jim Ross interviews Mick Foley in the ring. Foley mentions that a few weeks ago, he said he would not be like all those who had retired before only to come back six weeks later, and says he was a man of his word by coming back in only four. He then assures that his return will be for one night only, and says in the last four weeks, he not only got his first real haircut in sixteen years, but he did relatively little until he got a call from WWF co-owner Linda McMahon asking him if he wanted to be apart of WrestleMania. Foley said he look forward to meeting the fans over the weekend at Fan Axxess, but Linda then told him that he was going to be part of the main event of WrestleMania, which he had never been a part of. For the next 20 minutes, he tried to talk Linda out of it, but then realized that as a wrestler, you do not just walk out on WrestleMania. He accepted, but he had never been more nervous than when he showed up in Chicago, Illinois as he did not know how the fans would react. Thankfully, the reaction blew him away, as most everyone is happy to have him back for one night. He knows some people will not forgive him for coming back soon, but Foley fells that he would not forgive himself if he let the opportunity to main event WrestleMania slip away. As for the main event, it has four of the best athletes to step into a WWF ring, but it is his night and not theirs. He then addresses Triple H verbally attacking Linda McMahon, and says that he will not threaten him with barbed wire baseball bats and thumbtacks because he has done that already, and he admits that he enjoys seeing stitches on his face as they were put there because of him. He then says that he understands fully how to hurt Triple H, and that is to take his belt and make him realize there is a thing he can do about him WWF Champion as he will be retired. He then says he will walk down the aisle and look at Triple H, and Triple H will realize his last act as an active wrestler was kicking his ass. Foley then says that as great a match as No Way Out was, it will not end with him looking back with blood on his face, tears in his eyes and a sad smile on his face, as WrestleMania will end with blood on his face, tears in his eyes and the WWF Championship in his hands.
We see GTV footage where The Kat returns a skirt to Terri Runnels. The Kat leaves, then Terri Runnels finds dark spots all over it, much to Terri's disdain.

Before the next match, The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) are accompanied to the ring by WWF co-owner Shane McMahon dressed like Triple H, The Rock and Mick Foley. Shane then introduces them as such, then brings out Big Show. He then proposes all four men in the ring have a preview of what will happen at WrestleMania, which starts a quick squash match where Big Show beats The Mean Street Posse, Shane guests on commentary, and Big Show allows Rodney to go for the People's Elbow only for Rodney and Joey Abs to fall victim to a double choke slam. The match ends with Big Show pinning all three members of The Posse.

Rikishi tries to battle back, but he also gets laid out with a steel chair.
WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley shows up. Stephanie asks WWF co-owner Linda McMahon to come to the ring so she can feel the impact of what she is about to announce first-hand. Linda shows up, and Stephanie says she wishes that she was surprised to see her mother Linda, especially on Raw, but she knew it was just a matter of time before Linda meddled in her business. She says it is not unheard of for a mother to feel jealous or threatened by her daughter, for after she was born, she took away the last bit of affection that her father, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, showed Linda, and instead of showing love and affection, Linda tried to control her. She uses example making her make her own bed instead of letting the maid do it, restricting her funds to $100 a week during junior week and not letting her buy the turbo model sports car in high school. Linda says it was all for her own good, but Stephanie counters by saying that in college, Linda only gave her enough money for a one-bedroom apartment and she had to convince the CFO to slip her a little extra cash, for even at 19, she knew how to use her assets to get what she wanted, as this was a trick that Linda taught her: the power of persuasion, especially that of the opposite sex, as control equals power. Stephanie says there is only room for one dominant female in the company, and that is her. She gives Linda credit for having the guts to change the main event at WrestleMania to stack the deck against Triple H as well as re-hire Mick Foley, if only for one night. Linda says it was the right thing to do, and Stephanie tells Linda she is not as smart as she thinks she is and that Triple H is right for calling Linda "a conniving bitch." Stephanie then slaps Linda and sends her falling to the mat. Linda is crying as Triple H shows up, approving of what has happened as the show ends.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 20, 2000
RAW
Michael Cole interviews WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, who announces at the behest of Gerald Brisco that there will be a tag team elimination tournament where the winners will meet in a battle royal to decide the #1 contenders for the WWF Tag Team Championships. Pat Patterson tells Vince to talk about "the big one," and Vince says that if that match is made, it will rock the World Wrestling Federation down to its foundations tonight. Michael Cole then mentions that he loved Saturday Night Live over the weekend - which featured The Rock as special guest host and Vince McMahon, Triple H, Mick Foley and Big Show in the cold opening - and that gives Vince the idea to start the show in a style not unlike Saturday Night Live.
Before the next match, D-Generation X (X-Pac and "Road Dogg" Jesse James) come out to The Kings, a re-imagining of the DX theme by Run-DMC. The song is on the upcoming WWF Aggression, a compilation of original songs based on WWE entrance themes by hip-hop artists.

Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley show up. Upon Stephanie asking for the fans' undivided attention, the crowd boos, and Triple H goes off on them, demanding respect for himself and Stephanie. Triple H then says at WrestleMania, the fans will have no choice but to bow down on their knees and respect him, as he will beat both The Rock and Big Show in a Triple Threat Match to retain the WWF Championship. He then says that WWF Chairman Vince McMahon clams to have a match that will rock the foundation of the World Wresting Federation, and says if the match is that big, it has to have him in it. He calls Vince McMahon to the ring, but Big Show and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon show up instead. Shane says he knows exactly what Vince meant by that announcement, and challenges Triple to defend the WWF Championship against Big Show tonight. Triple H says he would love to, but he declines, saying he does not have to defend the WWF Championship before WrestleMania, even though he could, and says "that big goof" Big Show does not deserve a title shot. Suddenly, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up and says what Shane has proposed is not a big idea, and says that Triple H is willing to defend the WWF Championship as that is exactly what is going to happen. He announces that the match will be Triple H vs. Big Show vs. The Rock. Vince knows that the Triple Threat Match is in two weeks, but eh asks why they should not have the match in Chicago, Illinois tonight. Shane says that Vince is making a smart business decision, and dares Triple H to take the challenge, as does Vince. Triple H accepts the challenge for tonight, on the ground that the match does not take place again and there will be no rematch, especially at WrestleMania. Vince then tells Triple H to take his lips, pucker them up, and instead of kissing his daughter or kissing his ass, he wants Triple H to kiss the WWF Championship goodbye.

Triple H then hits the facebreaker knee smash followed by the Pedigree to retain. After the match, The Rock chases Shane into the crowd, but as Triple H and Stephanie leave, WWF co-owner Linda McMahon shows up. A fan gets up on the ramp, and Triple H tackles him so that security can deal with the guy, who is taken out of the shot. Linda congratulates Triple H on retaining, and while there will be no Triple Threat rematch for the WWF Championship, a special ingredient will be added at WrestleMania: a deserving individual whose dreams should come true, if for one night only. Therefore, she will make the final decision, and the main event at WrestleMania 2000 will be a Fatal Four-Way where Triple H will defend the WWF Championship against Big Show, The Rock...and Mick Foley, who has returned to the WWF. Mick Foley brawls with Triple H in the ring, and he hits both Triple H and Big Show with the WWF Championship to end the show.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for February 17, 2000
A tour bus is seen approaching the arena at the start of the show. On the top of the front of the bus reads "DX Express." D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), Tori and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley all come out of the bus and make their way to the ring. Billy Gunn says that at No Way Out, he and Road Dogg will up the tag team titles on the line against The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley), and tells the Dudleys that if they think they are impressing anybody by putting women through tables, it will take a lot more than that. Road Dogg tells the Dudleys that they are neither Terri Runnels or B.B., and they have been putting people through tables since before "they brought [The Dudley Boyz] up from the minor leagues," and says their chances of taking the tag titles from them are that of a snowball's chance in Hell. X-Pac says that thanks to Triple H, he has Kane in a no-holds-barred match, but regardless of whatever kind of match it is, Kane will not get retribution from him for taking Tori. He then passes the microphone to Triple H before passively-aggressively thanking him in a sarcastic manner. Triple H tells Cactus Jack that it wasn't too long ago that they were face-to-face at Royal Rumble in probably one of the greatest fights of all time. He left his blood and part of his flesh in New York City when they went through hell, and this Sunday, hell will be contained in a cell and it will start for Cactus Jack and continue from there on out, as real hell for Cactus Jack will be every day after No Way Out when he is too hurt to do everyday activities and no fans will cheer for him. Triple H says that if Cactus Jack has a dream to beat him for the WWF Championship and go on to WrestleMania, then he has a dream to be in the World Wrestling Federation without him in it. Triple H tells Cactus Jack to savor the last bit of time he has as a WWF Superstars, as his days are numbered and he will put an end to his career once and for all. Triple H then tells X-Pac that he is sorry about what happened Monday night, and that he had no idea that Cactus Jack and The Rock would get involved. He admits he had a plan, but it went awry. He plans to make it up to X-Pac by taking care of his problem and going one-on-one with Kane tonight. X-Pac says he is not impressed and that does not do much for him, and tells him to put the WWF Championship on the line "so he can be doing something." Triple H says if that will get the job done and show how stand-up he is, he will put the WWF title on the line tonight and take Kane out for X-Pac. X-Pac says he is impressed, and X-Pac returns the favor by saying he will kick Cactus Jack's ass in the middle of the ring. Triple H says he is not that impressed, and reminds him of what they have done to DX. Triple H asks Kevin Dunn in the production truck to show a video package of what happened last Monday when Cactus Jack ran over Tori on the way to the ring, and says it gets him hot when he sees Cactus Jack run down a ramp and tackle "an innocent looking waif" like Tori. He says that if X-Pac wants to get the job done and end it, he would take on Cactus Jack in a Falls Count Anywhere hardcore match. X-Pac tells Triple H that if it is hardcore he wants, it is hardcore he will get, and they shake hands. Triple H goes on to put The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg, Billy Gunn) in a match against The Rock and Big Show with the tag team titles on the line. At first the Outlaws are alarmed, but they are soon okay with the match. Triple H then says that he and Kane are going to go one-on-one for the WWF Championship in a few moments, and when Kane leaves the ring, he will feel like he just got hit by a bus.
Backstage, "Sexual Chocolate' Mark Henry and Mae Young are seen displaying a public display of affection when The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly) show up and show their disapproval. Hardcore Holly goes on and says the edible panties from this Monday's Raw made him sick, but Mark Henry counters by saying it will make Hardcore sick if he eats a lot of them, and says they're so pent up because "they ain't gettin' none." Hardcore Holly says Mae Young is "trailer park trash" and has had more hands on her than a doorknob. Mark Henry tells Hardcore to watch his mouth, but Hardcore and Crash knock Mae Young down and beat up Mark Henry.
WrestleMania 2000 is seven weeks away!
Kane vs. Triple H for the WWF Championship ends in a no-contest after the rest of D-Generation X (X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) attack Kane and X-Pac attacks Paul Bearer at ringside.

Kane catches up with DX, but X-Pac hits Kane with a low blow before DX shoves Kane in the compartment with Paul Bearer. Triple H then ask for the driver of the DX Express to drive off with Paul Bearer and Kane in the baggage compartment. Triple H retains the WWF Championship.
Before the next match, Kurt Angle says that it is to his understanding that late Monday night, millions of children went o bed crying their eyes out due to a cowardly attack hed suffered at the hands of Chyna. He says parents have called him saying that their children where having nightmares about Chyna attacking them as well, and says having Chyna in your dreams is bad enough. He tells his fans, especially those in Europe, that the European Champion is A-OK. After he beats Chris Jericho at No Way Out, he will once again represent the United States of America as the Intercontinental Champion.

Lilian Garcia interviews Cactus Jack. Cactgus Jack says that in ten days, it will be revealed whether he goes on to WrestleMania or he is done for good. Two things are keeping him going: winning the WWF Championship and what Triple H has said about him. He says that Triple H mentioned the truth when he says that he suffers in constant pain and that his head sometimes feels like scrambled eggs. He is not going to guarantee victory, but he will guarantee that win or lose, Hell In A Cell will be "the damnedest things you will ever see." He tells Triple H that he has very bad thoughts running through his head, and he will go up to the top of the cage and drop down on his body. He guarantees that Triple H will suffer at No Way Out. He then says he wants nothing to do with X-Pac or even looking at him, as talented as he is, and he will rely on his instincts and kick his teeth all over Fresno, California. He tells Lilian Garcia to sit back and watch for flying morals.

Kevin Kelly interviews The Rock. The Rock says there are certain things to go together: salt and pepper, bacon and eggs, Big Show and him raising his hand and growling, and himself and WrestleMania. He realizes what kind of task he has at No Way Out and says it will be one of the hardest matches in his career, but he will beat Big Show from pillar to post for the win and go on to WrestleMania, where he will become the next WWF Champion. As for tonight, if D-Generation X thinks they are cute and have all the answers by putting him in a tag team with Big Show, then he does not need or want Big Show, as he has a partner that Big Show will never have in the form of the people. If Big Show even entertains coming with ten feet of him, he will give him the biggest smack down he has ever seen.

As for tonight, if D-Generation X thinks they are cute and have all the answers by putting him in a tag team with Big Show, then he does not need or want Big Show, as he has a partner that Big Show will never have in the form of the people.

RAW
The "radicals" (Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero) show up to start tonight's show, followed by D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), Tori (who is now in a neck brace) and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. Stephanie gets booed when she tells people to listen up, then gets booed again when she tells the fans to shut up and watch the footage from last week when Kane attacked Tori and put her in a Tombstone Piledriver last Thursday on SmackDown. The fans cheer, then Stephanie asks the fans to look at Tori, saying he was an innocent victim and that it as the fans who made Kane react the way he did. She says that Kane was going to do the right thing and let Tori go, and that it was the fans' reaction that made him Tombstone Tori and that the fans make her sick. She says that she holds the fans personally responsible for Tori's pain and suffering, and if the fans want suffering, they will get it tonight. Triple H says that up until now, everyone in the ring has gone too easy on their adversaries, and that people say they have made the mistake of mistaking kindness for weakness. He then announces that there will be no mistakes, kidness or weakness starting tonight, and it starts with Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay, Scotty 2 Hotty, Rikishi Phatu). Grandamaster Sexay will go up against Road Dogg tonight, while Scotty 2 Hotty will square off with Billy Gunn. As for Saturn and Malenko, they will team up tonight against Rikishi Phatu. Triple H then addresses The Rock, whom he says is looking forward to facing Big Show at No Way Out but will not make it to that night, as he will be lucky to leave the ring in one piece after facing Benoit tonight. Triple H then focuses on Kane, whom he says needs to be taught a lesson as he does not play well with others. He says Kane needs to be taught respect, especially for women, and says he cannot go into the ring and "beat up women due to his sexual inadequacies." He then announces that Kane and X-Pac will go one-on-one in a no holds barred match at No Way Out, but in order to get the match, he has to face him and a partner of his choice in a 2-on-1 no-disqualification handicap match. After Triple H says that if someone knows the meaning of "handicap," it's Kane, Too Cool shows up, followed by Kane and The Rock. This starts a brouhaha that erupts as soon as The Rock rushes to the ring, and Kane, The Rock and Too Cool quickly clean house.
D-Von Dudley beats Edge and Jeff Hardy in a Triple Threat Match to determine #1 contenders for the WWF Tag Team Championships, allowing The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) to take on The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) at No Way Out for the tag titles.

Kurt Angle shows up. He says that ever since he won the WWF European Championship, he could not help but take notice to the many changes in Europe, such as the boom in the economy, the fall in the suicide rates, and a 16.4% rise in tourism. Meanwhile, in America, the stock market has plummeted, crime has risen to an all-time high and towns like San Jose, California continue to fall into a deeper depression. He says that this has ironically occurred since Chris Jericho won the Intercontinental title, and says that as his duty as an American hero, he will do the same for America as he has done for Europe, and challenges Chris Jericho at No Way Out for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. He then says he would make for a better champion than "a foul-mouthed hooligan" that has the audadcity to call himself "the Ayatollah." He says it is important for him to pull America out of its misery, and calls Jericho out, demanding that he accept his challenge. Angle then says that Jericho is in Hollywood with Chyna making a mockery out of the acting industry on late night television. We then see footage of Chyna on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno from last Friday night. Angle says he was on the show before after the Olympics, but he had respect for himself and didn't wear anything like "a latex rubber suit," as he lives by the 3 I's - intensity, integrity and intelligence. Before he can finish mentioning the 3 I's, Jericho shows up. Jericho welcomes everyone to "Raw Is Jericho," then tells "Kirk Angle" to shut the hell up if he has noting entertaining to say. He addresses Angle's laims of America falling into a decline since he became Intercontinental Champion, and says that America has fallen asleep since he grabbed the microphone. He says that when Angle looks at himself, he sees an American hero, but when he looks at Angle, all he sees is "a pompous Special Olympics jackass." He says he does not know if he wants to give him a title shot, but he wants to give him "a Y2J beating" right now. Jericho runs into the ring, and both men brawl. Jericho gets the upper hand before referees run into the ring to restore order. Suddenly, Chyna walks down the ramp, and when Angle gets out of the ring, Chyna hits him with a DDT before celebrating in the ring with Jericho.

Kurt Angle shows up. He mocks The Rock, saying "your Olympic hero" has come back to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He insists he is still undefeated in the World Wrestling Federation, and tonight, he will face The Rock. He says that if history has taught anything from their previous encounter, The Rock is no match for him, and since Pittsburgh has very little to cheer about, he is officially naming himself Pittsburgh's new hometown hero. He says it is not Mario Lemieux anymore, and if Lemieux had a little more courage, maybe he would still be playing hockey today and he would still be able to save the Pittsburgh Penguins. However, he will gladly start where Lemieux left off by beating The Rock tonight.
We see the first of three WWF commercials from the Super Bowl.
Backstage, The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) tell Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley about what happened earlier with "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and Eddie Guerrero.

Suddenly, Big Show - now with a much shorter haircut, which Triple H makes fun of - shows up and says he has proof in the form of WWF head of security. Dotson tells Triple H that The Rock's feet touched the ground first, but Triple H wants even more tangible proof in the form of video footage.

He congratulates Big Show on his victory, then makes fun of his haircut and says he is now a short-haired "seven-foot, 500 lb. of stinking, steaming monkey crap" as opposed to a long-haired one. If Big Show wants to run his mouth about having evidence The Rock did not win the Royal Rumble Match, he is tired of hearing him whine, bitch, cry and moan like a baby, then says he has something for Big Show to hear in the form of the millions of his fans chanting his name (during which Big Show covers his ears).

Suddenly, Cactus Jack shows up, and says he invited four guests at his request to the WWF, and he and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley had the gall to throw them out. He says he has bled and sweated with "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and Eddie Guerrero, and says they can bring down the house anywhere in the free world. He also says that he likes these four men. If Triple H has done some thinking, he has done some thinking of his own, and while he considered letting bygones be bygones, he has decided to take a piece of Triple H's ass. Stephanie is on commentary at this point, and Cactus Jack gets in the ring and brawls with Triple H. Triple H eventually manages to roll out of the ring, and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley is about to join him when "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and Eddie Guerrero show up and throw Triple H back into the ring to beat him up for not hiring them. Triple H is then whipped into the WWF Championship, then the "radicals" take the boots to Triple H before whipping him into the WWF Championship again to end the show.

He then asks Kane to do him a favor and get in the ring for a no-holds-barred match against The Rock. He says he is not trying to stir things up, but he says that The Rock has been looking at Tori as of late, and Kane might as well nip it in the bud right now.

Jim Ross interviews Mankind in the latter's home. Mankind says he has prepared his family for the day when he would leave professional wrestling, and says he has saved his money as his daughter Noelle knows that he has to wrestle for a living. Nevertheless, his children are sad, as he is their hero. He hopes to do that, but as their father rather than Mankind. He has had his eyes on retirement since last year, and has wanted to retire in the main event at WrestleMania and go out as WWF Champion. He is not bitter about the Pink Slip on a Pole Match, noting that if he won, he would probably be the most hated person in the World Wrestling Federation right now. He is realistic about his role in wrestling and considers himself a very valuable part of the WWF, but right now, The Rock is the man and the future of the WWF. He says that he has his best days behind him while The Rock's best days are ahead. Mankind then says he wants to be remembered for bringing Cactus Jack back to the WWF as well as winning his first WWF Championship. He is happy to be home with his wife and kids, but his wife knows this is not the way he wanted to go out as it was far from beautiful. He says it is pretentious of Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley to finish a career due to getting off on playing with people's lives, dreams and families. He considers their attempt to fire him "woefully inept," and says only he will decide how he goes out and that he will not take this sitting down.

X-Pac does not take kindly to this as he leaves.
Before the next match, Chyna says there has been a lot of speculation and rumors as to why she has been saving Chris Jericho for the last few weeks. She says it is not because of admiration or mutual respect, but but because she has been biding his time and waiting ofr her thumb to heal so she can face him for the Intercontinental Championship again. She calls out Jericho, so they can see who the true champion is. Jericho shows up, and asks how Chyna dares to lie to the Jerichoholics, saying that she came to the ring only to get close to him as she has a crush on "Y2J." Unfortunately, he does not feel the same way about her.
Chyna vs. Chris Jericho for the WWF Intercontinental Championship ends in a double pinfall.

Tonight, he had to face Kane because of Tori, whom he would not even waste an ounce of muscle to look at. As for Mankind, he is not happy that he is fired.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 29, 1999
RAW
The Big Boss Man and Viscera beat Big Show and Kane. During the match, The Big Boss Man attacks Big Show with his nightstick, distracting the referee, and X-Pac gets in the ring and hits Kane with a steel chair and the X-Factor as Prince Albert also runs in to attack Big Show. After a splash by Viscera, this match is over. After the match, Tori confronts X-Pac, but he spits in her face and roundhouse kicks her. Kane gets up and chases X-Pac away.
D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) show up. Triple H tells WWF Chairman Vince McMahon that all the warning were laid out, but Vince crossed the line and made it personal. He says it is Vince's fault that everything has escalated to what it all has become, and because of that, DX has a temporary order of protection against Vince which keeps him from coming within 50 feet of DX, which is all right with him as Vince cannot throw a rock or even see 50 feet. We see the footage of Vince running into DX's limousine with a Cadillac, and Triple H says they could have been seriously hurt but they were not, and Vince will be hurt at Armageddon when he beats him within an inch of his life without remorse. At Armageddon, Triple H says there will no retribution on him, and he will do what he wants to Vince and that is it. As for the wedding between Test and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon, he has bad news: there will be no wedding here tonight. WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up, and says that if Triple H thinks he needs protection from him, he is right, as there is nothing he will not do to protect his family. As for D-Generation X, their temporary order of protection won't do Triple H any good at Armageddon, and he will have some of Triple H's blood on his hands. He says that after Armageddon, it will be "game over." He then decides to keep DX busy by giving Test a wedding present in the form of Triple H vs. Test in a one-on-one match and X-Pac, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn in a six-man tag team match against Mankind, The Rock and a partner of their choosing. Also, if DX or anybody interferes in the wedding and they are employed by the WWF, they will be fired tonight.
Al Snow tells Head he will be Mankind's tag team partner and will be the best one ever, whether The Rock likes it or not.
Edge beats Matt Hardy.
We see footage from WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon's bachelorette party in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Chyna shows up. He says Chris Jericho would not believe how much her thumb felt after she whacked him with the hammer, and the only reason why she did not press charges on him is because she wants to make Jericho suffer and cry in front of her like a whiny baby. She then dares Jericho to get in the ring with her right now, as she can probably beat him with one hand, anyway. Jericho shows up and says that if Chyna wants to challenge him, he would like to beat her "flabby Jell-o ass," but says he can't due to Chyna hitting him with the hammer and giving him a concussion. Jericho then says after some intense physical therapy - and much embellishment - he will face her at Armageddon for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Chyna tells Jericho to chill out, but Jericho tells her to chill out. Miss Kitty shows up with a fire extinguisher, and Chyna says that if Jericho won't chill out, then maybe Miss Kitty can help. Miss Kitty sprays Jericho with the fire extinguisher.

Before the next match, Hardcore Holly tells Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) that they are not super heavyweights and that he and Crash Holly are the only super heavyweights around here. As for Rikishi Fatu, Hardcore says he has enough of an ass to make a total eclipse of the sun and that he will be Santa Claus after enough seconds and thirds at the dinner table. After Hardcore makes fun of the appearance of his ass (saying it has more dimples than a gold ball), Rikishi punches Crash before punching Hardcore and rolling him into the ring.
Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) beat The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly). After the match, Hardcore Holly fights Too Cool, but Rikishi gets involved and makes quick work of him before hitting him with the Banzai Drop.

WAR ZONE
A man in a Vince McMahon mask is the special guest referee for the next match.
Test beats Triple H. Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco are seen watching the match from backstage, asking WWF Chairman Vince McMahon to come see the referee in the Vince McMahon mask. At one point in the match, the masked referee smacks Test in the face to snap him out of a choke hold. He also stops Triple H from using a steel chair, then refuses to count a pinfall attempt by Triple H shortly afterwards. This leads Triple H to punch the ref and try to rip the mask off, but WWF co-owner Shane McMahon shows up, grabs the chair and hits Triple H in the back of the head with a steel chair. Test then hits the top rope elbow drop for the win after a fast count.
At WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon's bachelorette party, Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah return, and everyone wonders where "Carlos The Electriciain" is. Stephanie is then offered one more drink, and she downs it.
Triple H is in the locker room with police officers, telling them to get WWF Chairman Vince McMahon and have him arrested for violating a temporary order of protection, as he believes that the man in the Vince McMahon mask is in fact Vince McMahon.
Michael Cole interviews Barbara Bush, the EMT from SmackDown whose shirt was ripped off by Ivory after the Gravy Bowl Match. Barbara - whose friends call her "B.B." - calls the experience humiliating, and she is challenging Ivory to an Evening Gown Match. Suddenly, Ivory shows up, and tells her she is a pretty girl but is not too bright, and says "B.B." is short for "blonde bimbo," "big boobs," and "bird brain." She thinks B.B. is trying to make friends with all the perverts in the audience, and the crowd cheers when Ivory asks the crowd if they want to see her naked. Ivory then proposes having the match right now, then takes off her coat and proceeds to have a catfight with B.B. Once again, B.B.'s bust is exposed as another referee has to get Ivory out of the ring.
WWF Chairman Vince McMahon talks to the police officers, saying that Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco have alibis that put him in the bathroom at the time of the offense.
We see the bridesmaids - and WWF co-owner Linda McMahon - getting ready for the wedding.
Before the next match, Val Venis says "The Big Valbowski" and Shaquille O'Neal have a lot in common: they both carry intimidating size, but while Shaq may be a little shaky from the outside, "The Big Valbowski's" "bald-headed slam dunker" scores every single time. Kurt Angle then shows up and says Los Angeles, California lacks integrity and moral values, and he finds it amazing that the fans would rather cheer for a porn star over him. Venis then beats him up, starting the next match.
Kurt Angle beats Val Venis. During the match, The British Bulldog shows up and trips Val Venis on the top rope as Kurt Angle has referee Teddy Long pre-occupied, and this allows Angle to hit a superplex for a near-fall. Val Venis then fights The British Bulldog at ringside, and Angle hits Venis from behind before rolling him back into the ring. The Bulldog then grabs a steel chair, and as Teddy Long gets Angle away from Venis, Bulldog smacks the chair into Venis' back.
The men of the wedding - including The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy), D'Lo Brown, and Edge - are seen getting ready.
Al Snow mentions how much he hates The Rock, and he does it in front of The Rock unintentionally. The Rock catches Al Snow out, then asks Al Snow to put a dirty jack and a hockey mask on his face, then take a hockey stick and stick it straight up his candy ass. It becomes obvious that Al Snow is not his and Mankind's tag team partner.
Armageddon is coming live to pay-per-view on December 12th!

During the match, Al Snow is seen backstage telling Head that Mankind needs him, and takes Head with to the ring. He attacks DX with Head, which gets The Rock disqualified. The Rock does not take kindly to that and hits Al Snow with a Rock Bottom and The People's Elbow after the match.
The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) are still playing poker with The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw). Though they can barely get along, they laugh at the fact that The Acolytes ran Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) out of the WWF.

Test then shows up, then Stephanie McMahon is escorted by Vince McMahon. After a wedding song is played, both Test and are about to Stephanie exchange their vows when Triple H shows up. Triple H says that he knows that he is not invited, but shows him a video on the TitanTron and leaves. We see a video of Triple H in his car in Las Vegas, Nevada. He heads to "A Little White Wedding Chapel," where Joan Collins and Michael Jordan got married. We get a look at the Tunnel of Love, then Triple H goes through the wedding ceremony with Stephanie McMahon, who is unconscious. He has everything ready and pays for the wedding ceremony, and goes straight throw the vow exchanges even though Stephanie cannot consent to any of this. Triple H and Stephanie are now legally married. We find out that the bartender from the bachelorette party was in on this as he attaches something to the antennae on the front of Triple H's car, then Triple H says to the handheld camera held by the bartender telling everyone to get a nice shot of the brand-new Mr. and Mrs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Triple H then speeds off. Stephanie feels violated, then Triple H shows up again and says that as a member of the immediate family, he knows that Vince can only have one question on his mind: how many times did they consummate the marriage. Stephanie tells Triple H she hates him as Vince consoles her.

During the match, The Big Boss Man attacks Big Show with his nightstick, distracting the referee, and X-Pac gets in the ring and hits Kane with a steel chair and the X-Factor as Prince Albert also runs in to attack Big Show.

D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) show up. Triple H tells WWF Chairman Vince McMahon that all the warning were laid out, but Vince crossed the line and made it personal. He says it is Vince's fault that everything has escalated to what it all has become, and because of that, DX has a temporary order of protection against Vince which keeps him from coming within 50 feet of DX, which is all right with him as Vince cannot throw a rock or even see 50 feet. We see the footage of Vince running into DX's limousine with a Cadillac, and Triple H says they could have been seriously hurt but they were not, and Vince will be hurt at Armageddon when he beats him within an inch of his life without remorse. At Armageddon, Triple H says there will no retribution on him, and he will do what he wants to Vince and that is it. As for the wedding between Test and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon, he has bad news: there will be no wedding here tonight. WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up, and says that if Triple H thinks he needs protection from him, he is right, as there is nothing he will not do to protect his family. As for D-Generation X, their temporary order of protection won't do Triple H any good at Armageddon, and he will have some of Triple H's blood on his hands. He says that after Armageddon, it will be "game over." He then decides to keep DX busy by giving Test a wedding present in the form of Triple H vs. Test in a one-on-one match and X-Pac, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn in a six-man tag team match against Mankind, The Rock and a partner of their choosing. Also, if DX or anybody interferes in the wedding and they are employed by the WWF, they will be fired tonight.
Al Snow tells Head he will be Mankind's tag team partner and will be the best one ever, whether The Rock likes it or not.
Edge beats Matt Hardy.
We see footage from WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon's bachelorette party in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Chyna shows up. He says Chris Jericho would not believe how much her thumb felt after she whacked him with the hammer, and the only reason why she did not press charges on him is because she wants to make Jericho suffer and cry in front of her like a whiny baby. She then dares Jericho to get in the ring with her right now, as she can probably beat him with one hand, anyway. Jericho shows up and says that if Chyna wants to challenge him, he would like to beat her "flabby Jell-o ass," but says he can't due to Chyna hitting him with the hammer and giving him a concussion. Jericho then says after some intense physical therapy - and much embellishment - he will face her at Armageddon for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Chyna tells Jericho to chill out, but Jericho tells her to chill out. Miss Kitty shows up with a fire extinguisher, and Chyna says that if Jericho won't chill out, then maybe Miss Kitty can help. Miss Kitty sprays Jericho with the fire extinguisher.

Before the next match, Hardcore Holly tells Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) that they are not super heavyweights and that he and Crash Holly are the only super heavyweights around here. As for Rikishi Fatu, Hardcore says he has enough of an ass to make a total eclipse of the sun and that he will be Santa Claus after enough seconds and thirds at the dinner table. After Hardcore makes fun of the appearance of his ass (saying it has more dimples than a gold ball), Rikishi punches Crash before punching Hardcore and rolling him into the ring.

WAR ZONE
A man in a Vince McMahon mask is the special guest referee for the next match.
Test beats Triple H. Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco are seen watching the match from backstage, asking WWF Chairman Vince McMahon to come see the referee in the Vince McMahon mask. At one point in the match, the masked referee smacks Test in the face to snap him out of a choke hold. He also stops Triple H from using a steel chair, then refuses to count a pinfall attempt by Triple H shortly afterwards. This leads Triple H to punch the ref and try to rip the mask off, but WWF co-owner Shane McMahon shows up, grabs the chair and hits Triple H in the back of the head with a steel chair. Test then hits the top rope elbow drop for the win after a fast count.
At WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon's bachelorette party, Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah return, and everyone wonders where "Carlos The Electriciain" is. Stephanie is then offered one more drink, and she downs it.

Michael Cole interviews Barbara Bush, the EMT from SmackDown whose shirt was ripped off by Ivory after the Gravy Bowl Match. Barbara - whose friends call her "B.B." - calls the experience humiliating, and she is challenging Ivory to an Evening Gown Match. Suddenly, Ivory shows up, and tells her she is a pretty girl but is not too bright, and says "B.B." is short for "blonde bimbo," "big boobs," and "bird brain." She thinks B.B. is trying to make friends with all the perverts in the audience, and the crowd cheers when Ivory asks the crowd if they want to see her naked. Ivory then proposes having the match right now, then takes off her coat and proceeds to have a catfight with B.B. Once again, B.B.'s bust is exposed as another referee has to get Ivory out of the ring.
WWF Chairman Vince McMahon talks to the police officers, saying that Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco have alibis that put him in the bathroom at the time of the offense.
We see the bridesmaids - and WWF co-owner Linda McMahon - getting ready for the wedding.
Before the next match, Val Venis says "The Big Valbowski" and Shaquille O'Neal have a lot in common: they both carry intimidating size, but while Shaq may be a little shaky from the outside, "The Big Valbowski's" "bald-headed slam dunker" scores every single time. Kurt Angle then shows up and says Los Angeles, California lacks integrity and moral values, and he finds it amazing that the fans would rather cheer for a porn star over him. Venis then beats him up, starting the next match.
Kurt Angle beats Val Venis. During the match, The British Bulldog shows up and trips Val Venis on the top rope as Kurt Angle has referee Teddy Long pre-occupied, and this allows Angle to hit a superplex for a near-fall.

The Bulldog then grabs a steel chair, and as Teddy Long gets Angle away from Venis, Bulldog smacks the chair into Venis' back.
The men of the wedding - including The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy), D'Lo Brown, and Edge - are seen getting ready.
Al Snow mentions how much he hates The Rock, and he does it in front of The Rock unintentionally. The Rock catches Al Snow out, then asks Al Snow to put a dirty jack and a hockey mask on his face, then take a hockey stick and stick it straight up his candy ass. It becomes obvious that Al Snow is not his and Mankind's tag team partner.
Armageddon is coming live to pay-per-view on December 12th!

Jim Ross interviews The Big Show in the ring to start the show. Big Show says being WWF Champion is incredible, and he is on top of the world as he calls the WWF Championship the most coveted title in sports entertainment. Having the title means more to him than anything else in the world, and he just wishes his dad was around to see it. Suddenly, Chris Jericho shows up, and tells Big Show not to worry about having a father anymore, as tonight, he is his daddy. He asks if Big Show deserves to be a heavyweight champion due to his size, and says that charisma and showmanship - things Jericho says Big Show does not have - matter more than size, and that Big Show should be carrying his bags and begging for him not to kick his dimpled, cottage cheese ass. Tonight, he wants a no-disqualification match for the WWF Championship, as he wants the title around his waist. Big Show says he has no problems beating Jericho like the bitch that he is right now.

He hopes that the fans are still hungry, as he serving a helping of "The Rock 'n Sock Connection." The Rock then shows up. Since he is in the Thanksgiving spirit, he notices there is a table full of pies at ringside.
