Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 20, 1999

RAW

Backstage, Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley think the WWF locker room have no holiday spirit, and that they will have to give them. As they talk, The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) stand behind them in tuxedos. Triple H says the McMahon-Helmsley coalition will give until it hurts, and that it will be "a very Raw Christmas show." Rodney is then commanded by Stephanie to get her some water.

Before the next match, "Road Dogg" Jesse James lets Test and the fans know that he and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn are the WWF tag team champions of the world, then Billy Gunn tries to attack Test from behind. Test sees it coming and hits him with a right hand, starting the next match.

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat Test in a 2-on-1 handicap match after removing Test's face cover and hitting him with a Fameasser. During the match, Edge, Christian and The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) are seen watching the match on a monitor backstage.

Backstage, Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley are seen laughing and wishing Test a merry Christmas. Edge, Christian and The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) show up after being brought in by The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs), tired of fighting each other and wanting Triple H and Stephanie to stop the games. Triple H proposes a match between the team of Edge and Matt Hardy and the team of Christian and Jeff Hardy, then wishes them a merry Christmas.

Kurt Angle is seen talking to Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley backstage. Triple H says it is time to step up to the next level and test the 3 I's by facing Viscera. After Triple H asks Kurt Angle if he has any more ostrich jerky left, Stephanie asks "Why Viscera?" Triple H and The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) mock Stephanie calling Kurt Angle cute last week before Triple H tells the Posse to shut up.

Christian and Jeff Hardy beat Edge and Matt Hardy. Matt is helped up, apparently suffering a broken nose.

Backstage, Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley make fun of both teams in the last match, then The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) bring in Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah. Stephanie thanks them for being a part of their family for generation. Triple H teases giving Mae Young a bottle of wine, but gives Mae and Moolah a better gift: a Triple Threat Match against the teams of The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) and The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw). Moolah calls Stephanie a disgrace to the McMahon family before she and Mae leave. Triple H calls them a disgradce to Depends undergarments, then makes fun of Jim Ross' voice when he says the match will be a slobberknocker. This gives Stephanie the idea of giving a gift to Jim Ross, much to J.R.'s displeasure on commentary.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon and The Rock are listed as part of the top 10 entertainers of the year in the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley show up. Stephanie asks Jim Ross to come to the ring. He does, thinking they are going to fire him. Stephanie says she and Triple H are the greatest entertainers of 1999, not The Rock and WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, and Triple H says Entertainment Weekly missed the boat by a few weeks. He then says the place looks a little festive, but seems to be lacking in drection. He demands that Kevin Dunn (one of the producers) "put it up now." The two screens to the sides of the TitanTron are replaced with images of Stephanie on the left screen and Triple H on the right screen. He says that this is the type of picture that a magazine like Entertainment Weekly should grace their magazines with. Triple H then confronts Jim Ross on his comments about Stephanie and getting slapped in the face for it. Stephanie says she is not bothered by it anymore and she has forgiven him, saying she knows he didn't mean to insult her or hurt her feelings, then said it felt good to slap him that way. Triple H then gets on his knees behind Jim Ross, then Stephanie pushes Jim Ross over him. Triple H is about to break Jim Ross' arm again when Mankind shows up. Mankind quotes Popeye, saying "I've have all I can stands, and I can't stands no more!" He stood backstage and watched Triple H on Mae Young, The Fabulous Moolah and Jim Ross, and dares him to pick on someone his own size. He has stood silent until now, and tonight, he tells Triple H to his face that the McMahon-Helmsley era "kinda sucks." As for Stephanie, if she has the gall to defame the good name of Santa Claus with the Santa hat she is wearing, then he knows Santa goes around saying "ho, ho, ho," then says he is not exactly the ho he had in mind. Triple H wants to go at it with Mankind, who asks if Stephanie is really holding him back and Stephanie whispers something in Triple H's ear. Triple H says Stephanie has given him an idea, and says that if Mankind wants to stick his nose in business it does not belong in, then tonight, if he wants a fight, he will be in a Boiler Room Match. Mankind anticipates that it is with Triple H, but Triple H refuses to tell him who his opponent is, saying it may or may not be against him, but that Mankind will get his ass kicked one way or another. Stephanie wishes Mankind a meryr Christmas, then slaps Mankind in the face.

Before the next match, Kurt Angle wishes the crowd a merry Christmas, and as the holiday season is fast approaching, he has an incredible idea for a New Year's resolution. He has had success his entire life - including in the WWF - because he follows the 3 I's - intensity, integrity and intelligence - and says that if everyone follows them, they can accomplish anything they want to and have the happiest new year imaginable and possible. WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley is then seen being upset with Triple H for booking the next match, telling him he did not have to do this./

Kurt Angle beats Viscera. During the match, "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman shows up and hits Viscera in the back with a Kendo stick as ther referee is not looking, and allows Angle to get the win. Backstage, Triple H thinks WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley had something to with Blackman interfering in the match.

Before the next match, The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) warn Mar Young and The Fabulous Moolah that the Dudley Commandments - thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill, and thou shalt not mess with the Dudley Boyz 0 still apply to "two old bags" such as them, then attack them before they finish mentioning the Dudley Commandments. "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry is seen cheering Mae and Moolah on backstage as The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) show up.

The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) beat The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) and the team of Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah. During the match, The Acolytes show more class by refusing to beat on Mae and Moolah while The Dudley Boyz lay waste to them. After the match, a brawl breaks out between all three teams, and "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry runs in to go after the Dudleys. He then checks on Mae Young after the match.

Triple H hands WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley a gift, which Triple H says will reveal Mankind's opponent in the Boiler Room Brawl. Inside is a Santa Claus figurine.

Michael Cole interviews Mankind, who is not happy about having to fight Santa Claus and wonders what he has to prove what a tough guy he is against Santa. He asks if he has to slap him in his rosy cheeks, kick him in his dimples or put a big boot to his red nose. He considers giving Santa a knee to his round belly and watch it shake like a bowl of jelly. As Mankind wonders whether or not he should take tyhe match, Rodney then meets up with him, then Pete Gas and Joey Abs attack him and toss him into the boiler room. Mankind then meets Santa, and proposes that he turns his back so that Santa can leave the boiler room peacefully and win the match. He then gets attacked by three Santa Clauses with more malevolent intentions, but fights them off with frying pans. He then runs into two more, who also want to fight him, and these two Santas turn out to be The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn). Mankind fight them off , and is about to take a glass window pane to Billy Gunn when a sixth Santa smashes the glass into Mankind's face. The sixth Santa is Triple H, who leaves the boiler room and beats Mankind in a Boiler Room Brawl.

Backstage, Triple H, WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) are wathing what just happened to Mankind when Al Snow shows up and demands a match with The Rock, wanting a Brahma Bullrope match to make The Rock pay for sticking his nose between him and Mankind. Triple H tells him never to come into their office and demand anything again, then gives him the match.

WAR ZONE

Chris Jericho beats The Godfather. During the match, Chyna shows up at ringside. When the hos get on the apron, Chyna gets on the apron and hits The Godfather with a low blow, allowing Jericho to get the win.

Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley talk with B.B. and Terri Runnels. B.B. will be with Val Venis, while Terri will be with Hardcore Holly as part as a Holiday Topless Top Rope Match, in which both women have to remove an article of clothing every time their man is thrown over the top rope. This keeps going until one woman is topless, which makes their man the loser. As an incentive, the winner gets a shot at the WWF Intercontinental Championship.

Before the next match, Val Venis says women are a lot like Christmas trees: they smell good, they're pretty to look at, but they never really feel special until he plugs them in and lights them up. After Hardcore Holly and Crash Holly show up, Triple H arrives and welcomes everyone to the first-ever Holiday Topless Top Rope Match.

Hardcore Holly beats Val Venis in a Holiday Topless Top Rope Match. During the match, both men go over the top rope, and both B.B. and Terri Runnels are forced by Triple H to take off their dresses or else they will be fired. Val Venis is then thrown over the top rope, and B.B. is told to remove her bra or else she will be fired. She take it off, but Triple H gets right in front of her and blocks the view for everybody. Triple H then calls everyone a bunch of idiots, saying he is the only one to get the show.

Before the next match, The Rock tells Al Snow has left him with two choices. The first is that he bow out and walk up the ramp so that Al Snow wins, and the second choice is stepping down from the ropes, stepping into the ring, and whipping his monkey ass all over Houston, Texas.

Al Snow beats The Rock in a Brahma Bullrope Match. During the match, referee Tim White gets crotched with the bullrope, then The Rock hits Tim White with the cowbell when he tries to hit Al Snow with it. Snow then grabs a steel chair outside of the ring, then swings it at him only for The Rock to duck i t and hit Snow with The Rock Bottom. After that, The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James' and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) show up, and The Rock fights them off. When The Rock goes for a People's Elbow, however, Road Dogg hits The Rock in the back of the head with a steel chair. Al Snow goes for a pinfall, but The Rock kicks out just before three. Road Dogg runs into the ring and falls victim to a Rock Bottom, but Billy Gunn hits the Fameasser on The Rock, and this time The Rock does not kick out.

Backstage, The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) are seeing what is happening on a television set when they knock water into Triple H's blue jeans and onto one of WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley's shoes. Instead of going ballistic, Triple H gets them out of the room by giving them a 3-on-2 hanidcpa match against two members of Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay, Scotty 2 Hotty, Rikishi Phatu), and threatens to give them handicap matches against The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) every day for a year if they ever spill water on him again.

Tori begs for Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley to stop messing with her and Kane. Triple H mends the fence by puttin Kane in a match against Big Show for the WWF Championship, and if Kane loses, then Tori has to spend the holidays with X-Pac.

Before the next match, The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) find out that their 3-on-2 handicap match against Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay, Scotty 2 Hotty, Rikishi Phatu) is a six-man tag match. The Posse are livid.

Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley laugh about the previous match, saying that will teach The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) not to make the mistake of spilling water on them, then says the next match will be loaded with mistakes.

Before the next match, Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley show up and watch the match from an armchair on the stage.

Kane beats Big Show by disqualification after Big Show hits Kane with a steel chair...almost. Triple H tells referee Mike Chioda to restart the match, as it is no-disqualification, and asks that the match be continued. Both men then wrestle to a count-out at ringside, but WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley says there are no count-outs, and Triple H then makes the match Falls Count Anywhere as Kane and Big Show fight in the crowd. Shortly after this, The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) show up and distract Kane long enough for Big Show to powerbomb Kane through a commentary table and retain the WWF Championship against Kane. After the match, The New Age Outlaws carry Tori to the stage, then Triple H says this has been a lot of fun for him and Stephanie, and wishes the world a very Raw Christmas.

The show begins with D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beating up Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco. Triple H tells an internally bleeding Pat Patterson to tell WWF Chairman Vince McMahon that he has made this too personal.

Test, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, WWF co-owners Shane and Stephanie McMahon come out of their limo and are immediately notified by Sgt. Slaughter that D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) have attacked Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco. Patterson and Brisco are tended to, and Vince tells Sgt. Slaugher that he wants Triple H in the back now.

Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) beat Edge and Christian after referee Mike Chioda is busy outside the ring with Edge. After the match, Edge and Christian continue to fight Too Cool.

Sgt. Slaughter tells WWF Chairman Vince McMahon that Triple H demands that Vince see him. Vince tells Sgt. Slaughter he'll be right there.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon and Test confront D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) backstage. Vince reminds Triple H he is no longer WWF Champion; instead, he is a chump. He tells them there will be no more backstage beatdowns, and that it stops tonight. Triple H tells Vince he warned him not to make this personal, but Vince says it is already personal.

Kurt Angle quickly beats Gangrel. Before the match, the man with the "World Wide Filth/WWF Is Immoral" sign is seen in the front row again. During the match, Kurt Angle grabs the microphone and chews out the crowd for cheering a man who looks like a vampire - and Luna - than an Olympic gold medalist and American hero.

Test is playing WWF WrestleMania 2000 - and beating up a virtual Triple H - while WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon opens wedding presents.

D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) are seen plotting something backstage.

Test is still playing WWF WrestleMania 2000 when WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon gets a gift containing a stuffed frog (thankfully not of the taxidermist variety) and a note reading "Your gift is in the limo, so hop to it!" Test offers to get the gift for it, as it is cold outside. The camera follows Test as he heads outside to a limousine, where he is attacked from behind by D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) and stuffed in the back of a car that "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn drives off in.

Before the next match, The Godfather confronts The British Bulldog for the cheap shots from behind the last time they met, and tells him that the only spanking that he will have at the hotel room is him "spanking his monkey."

The British Bulldog retains the WWF European Championship against The Godfather. During the match, The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) show up and give the hos money at ringside. When The Godfather catches wind of this, he sees the man with the sign from Raw and yanks the sign from him. The Mean Street Posse take advantage of the situation as the man is escorted out by WWF head of security Jim Dotson, and The British Bulldog is able to get the win.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon and WWF co-owner Shane McMan confront D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James) over Test's sudden disappearance, they also hold WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon back when she rushes at Triple H. Vince threatens to call the police, and Triple H tells Vince to keep Stephanie off of him or else he will beat her ass, too.

Tori is getting some coffee when Viscera makes a pass at her, comparing his size to that of X-Pac's. Kane runs in and beats him up, and officials have to separate both men.

Big Show retains the WWF Championship against Hardcore Holly. Crash Holly tries to help, but Big Show is able to care of both Hollys with ease, and not only is Crash unable to break up the pinfall, but he also gets choke slammed after the match. After that, The Big Boss Man runs into the ring and hits The Big Boss Man with his nightstick.

Test and the car that "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn was driving are back, and Test is helped back inside.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon calls for security to ensure another backstage beatdown does not happen again. Test's nose is bloodied up, but thankfully, he is fine.

Kane beats Viscera. During the match, Tori checks on Kane, and Viscera grabs her and asks her if she wants to be a ho. Tori slaps her, but Viscera eventually gets on top of her. Kane catches up to Viscera and sends him back to the ring, where he eventually choke slams him for the win.

Triple H tries not to laugh as he heads to WWF Chairman Vince McMahon's office, and tells him that everything has gone too far. He apologizes for what "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn did and gives WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon a wedding gift: a baseball catcher's mask. Vince, obviously seeing the sexual connotations behind the catcher's mask, throws it to the side and slams the door, and Triple H laughs as he walks away.

Jim Ross is on the phone with the detectives from Raw, and tells him that he considers Jerry "The King" Lawler a "restaurant quality ass."

WWF chairman Vince McMahon asks local law enforcement to guard his dressing room.

Ivory retains the WWF Women's Championship against Jacqueline and Luna Vachon in a Hardcore Triple Threat Match that sees action in the women's locker room, the men's restroom and the concessions stand.

Mankind and Al Snow are seen in Las Vegas, Nevada. Through the "Vegas Invasion Cam," Al Snow and Mankind have fun chasing some guy around the casino for impersonating The Rock.

We see more footage of Al Snow and Mankind in Las Vegas, Nevada, where they ride the Tower of Terror, go to a gentlemen's club, and even perform music on stage.

It is announced that Chyna is getting surgery for her shattered right thumb as "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry makes his way to the ring. Henry says there is not many things that he hates, but one of those things he hates is a woman-beater. He mentions his past with Chyna, and says that breaking her thumb means he is kicking somebody's ass. Chris Jericho shows up, and it is announced that Chyna will not be pressing charges against Jericho. Jericho says he cannot believe that Mark Henry is stupid enough to stand for Chyna's honor and that all she had to do was admit he was the better man at Survivor Series. But she didn't, and she will not be doing any hitchhiking any time soon. He jokes about Chyna getting a "no-thumb discount" at the manicurist, then he tells Mark Henry that he now knows who the better man is.

Chris Jericho quickly beats "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry.

The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) are talking to the detectives from Raw on a payphone. Needless to say, they do not have any useful information for them.

Lilian Garcia interviews The Rock. He tells The Big Boss Man that he beat him on Raw and that it took help from Prince Albert to do it. Now Boss Man is #1 contender for the WWF Championship, and he slowly claps for him, which leads to a chant for The Rock. He knows in time, he will be the WWF Champion, and his fans know that in due time, the best damn WWF Champion there ever was. He tells Boss Man he can have his #1 contender spot, as he has a title that Boss Man or anyone else cannot have: The People's Champion. Tonight, he will lay the smack down on Boss Man's candy ass.

Before the next match, The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) claim that they love to kick it doggy style "with The Hardy Boyz' (Jeff and Matt Hardy) mama." This starts the next match early.

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy). During the match, Matt Hardy accidentally takes out referee Tim White with a leg lariat that is meant for Billy Gunn, who ducks out of the way. X-Pac shows up and takes out both of the Hardys, but Matt Hardy covers Road Dogg. Billy Gunn pulls Tim White out of the ring to break the pinfall, and X-Pac hits Matt Hardy with the X-Factor as Tim White is distract to allow The Outlaws to retain.

As WWF co-owner Shane and Stephanie McMahon talk with Test, they smell something burning, as does WWF Chairman Vince McMahon.

After the commercial break, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon is the first to crawl out of WWF Chairman Vince McMahon's dressing room as smoke is seen billowing out of the room. Test and Vince are helped out of the room, but WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon is nowhere to be seen. It is assumed that a fire has been started somehow in Vince McMahon's dressing room.

The Rock beats The Big Boss Man after a potential nightstick attack by The Big Boss Man is stopped cold with a Rock Bottom. After the match, Prince Albert and The Boss Man attack The Rock, but Big Show runs into the ring and choke slams Boss Man. The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly) run into the ring, but they both fall victim to a Rock Bottom.

Triple H shows up. It is announced on commentary that WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon is confirmed to be okay. Backstage, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon tells security that he knows that Triple H had something to do with this, and tells them to stay with Test and WWF co-owners Shane and Stephanie McMahon, and to place them safely in the limo. Vince says that he has business to settle with Triple H, and Shane says that if Vince is staying, then security should stay. Security follows Vince to the ring while Shane, Stephanie and Test head to the limousine alone. He says that it all started out as business, and he busted his ass to get what he wanted and became WWF Champion through guts, determination, hard work, blood, sweat and tears. Unfortunately, it burned a hole in Vince and ate him alive as he did it on his own without his help and he wasn't "one of Vince's boys." He then says it came down to Survivor Series, where Vince screwed him out of the WWF Championship and stole it from him. He says that Vince committed a crime against him personally, which left him with no choice but to have D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) get personal with him. As a result, they have gotten personal with his entire family, which leaves only one thing left to do: Vince taking the walk down to the ring to stand man-to-man and eye-to-eye with him. When that happens, he will get personal with Vince, whom he then calls out. He says that this is between the two of them, and he tells Vince to leave the police backstage. Vince McMahon shows up alone, and takes off his jacket, but Triple H threatens to sue him for everything he has if he lays a hand on him, as he knows he would beat his "weathered, old, bad hair having ass" half to death in this ring and he would be fired as sure as the day is long. Triple H says that will not happen, and he proposes they do it another way: Vince heads back home, goes to the office, gets his lawyers to draw up some papers to state at a specified date that they will meet face-to-face in the ring so they can get as personal as they can possibly get. He wants those papers, and he wants a clause in the contract that states that no matter how badly he beats him, Vince, his family or the company cannot do anything to him afterwards, whether it be a firing or a monetary attack, after he beats him close to the edge of his life. Triple H then says the perfect date for that would be at Armageddon, where it will be the two of them one more time, and then it will be done. Before Vince can tell Triple H if he has a deal, a scream can be heard, and Test and WWF co-owners Shane and Stephanie McMahon are seen knocked down at the bottom of a stairwell on the TitanTron. Vince immediately runs to the back, and the show ends.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 25, 1999

RAW

The show starts with The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) demanding WWF Chairman Vince McMahon to put them in a match against The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly) for the WWF Tag Team Championships. Vince tells them that Edge and Christian have a title shot tonight, but they want them out of the match and want in tonight's title match. Nevertheless, they ask for two other opponents tonight. Mankind and The Rock are out due to Mankind challenging Triple H for the WWF Championship tonight. Triple H storms in and confronts Vince over tonight's title match, and The New Age Outlaws say Triple H is scared. Triple H tells them to shut up, and in an attempt to make them shut up after Road Dogg says he isn't shutting up, Triple H proposes that The New Age Outlaws face The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, since Austin is nowhere on tonight's show. The New Age Outlaws are up to the challenge, and Vince tells them they've got it.

The Godfather looks for his hos backstage, thinking they are with "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry. He finds Mark, telling him it time to go to work, and has to kick the door open to get him and the hos to come to the ring, telling Henry he can't have the hos 24/7.

Before the next match, Viscera says that while Mideon likes farm animals, he likes - and wants - The Godfather's hos, and proposes a "winner takes all" match. Viscera then tells "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry that when he wins the match with him, he can have them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Viscera beats The Godfather to get all the hos after "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry drags The Godfather to the floor from behind in the corner. Mideon gets ejected from the match early on by referee Tim White for getting on the apron and choking The Godfather from behind in the corner. After the match, Mark Henry hits The Godfather with a splash. Viscera and Mark Henry then command the hos to go to the back. Meanwhile, a few hos are still in the ring checking on The Godfather, and Viscera commands them to go to the back. When they refuse, one of them gets kicked to the mat and splashed along with The Godfather, then the other one leaps on Viscera to put him in a sleeper hold only to be pushed off and slammed into the canvas. EMTs have to check on the two remaining hos

Michael Cole interviews The Rock. For the last two weeks, he and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin have been playing oneupsmanship, and that he has sent chill bumps up Austin's arms. At Survivor Series, they will both face Triple H in a Triple Threat Match one more time for the WWF Championship. Tonight, however, Austin is his tag team partner, and they have to put everything outside and face The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn). He has no problem with this, but since he is in "The People's Ring," he will be surrounded by the millions of his fans as they will let The Rock know he will forever be The People's Champ.

As The Godfather and his two loyal hos are in the ambulance, The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) laugh about it, but Buh Buh Ray says it will not be as funny as what he will do to Kane tonight.

The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly) vs Edge and Christian for the WWF Tag Team Championships ends when two men dressed like rappers show up and attack Edge and Christian. The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and Terri Runnels are seen watching the match on a monitor backstage. The two "rappers" are identified as Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor) after The Hardy Boyz show up and attack Too Much, helping Edge and Christian get them out of the ring.

Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah are seen making up with each other backstage.

A steel cage can be seen hanging above the ring. Michael Cole interviews Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah in the ring. Mae Young thanks Moolah for being the oldest person she has ever wrestled, and says that this is not a slight against her. Moolah thanks all the fans who have supported her; however, at her age, she cannot defend the WWF Women's Championship as it should be defended. She will give the WWF Women's Championship back and officially retire. Suddenly, Ivory shows up with a broom in her room, and says there are two witches in the room before telling Moolah she found her ride in the handicapped spot and proceeds to raise the broom up. Ivory reminds Moolah that she has a rematch clause, and Mae Young confronts Ivory only to be kicked in the gut before having the broom broken on her back. Moolah fights Ivory, and this starts a match.

Ivory beats The Fabulous Moolah to become the WWF Women's Champion. After the match, Ivory pushes Mae Young off the apron and stomps her a few times.

Prince Albert is seen talking to Big Show, and challenges him to a match to see how bad he really is, and reminds him that he is not The Big Boss Man.

WWF 3-D Attitude...coming November 23rd! (The advertisement is for a 3D edition of WWF Magazine.)

Survivor Series will be live on pay-per-view on November 14th!

Big Show vs. Prince Albert ends in a no-contest. During the match, The Big Boss Man shows up and tells Big Show that he has something that belongs to him, his father and his father's father. Last night, he made a trip to the hospital to see how badly his father was doing, and says the stench of death was in the air. All he saw in the bed was a puny old man waiting to die, and he pulled the plug on him. Before he left, he saw him clutching a pocket watch in his hand, and he took it. As he talks, he threatens to destroy the watch if Big Show ges any closer. Prince Albert attacks Big Show from behind, then Big Boss Man hits Big Show in the head with a hammer. He then proceeds to destory the pocket watch with a hammer on an anvil brought in by two stage hands.

Chris Jericho says he feels horrible for Big Show, but he feels worse for Chyna as he will expose her as a cowardly disgrace of a champion who has no more right to be in the ring with him than a common fan. He tells Chyna to bring D'Lo Brown out as her tag team partner, and he will bring a common fan into the ring, and they will embarrass her and prove she will never be in the same league as him.

Backstage, Big Show hunts down The Big Boss Man.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho picks a female fan out of the audience, but this person looks suspiciously like a man in woman's clothing.

Chyna and D-Lo Brown beats Chris Jericho and the random female fan, who is revealed to be none other than Stevie Richards dressed as a woman as Chyna beats him up. After the match, Jericho beats up Stevie Richards with two powerbombs followed by the Walls of Jericho.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon is reading Mankind's autobiography when Mankind shows up and thanks him for the shot at the WWF Championship. When Vince asks him about his facial expressions - save for "the bobbing Adam's apple at the time of fear" - being the best in the business, Mankind tells Vince that he makes it happen, as his own face is covered up most of the time.

WAR ZONE

Mankind beats Triple H by disqualification. The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin are seen watching the match on a monitor backstage in separate areas. Later on in the match, Triple H grabs a steel chair, but Mankind kicks into his face as he runs towards him in the corner. As Triple H and referee Mike Chioda play tug-of-war with the chair, Mankind grabs the WWF Championship. Chioda takes the steel chair away, but Mankind hits Triple H with the WWF Championship behind Chioda's back. After a near-fall, Mankind locks in the Mandible Claw, but Val Venis runs in with a steelc chair and hits Mankind in the back with it, ending the match. Al Snow runs in, and he and Mankind take Venis down. Triple H retains the WWF Championship.

Michael Cole interviews "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Austin says nobody sends chill bumps down his arms, and that he and The Rock will be facing Triple H for the WWF Championship in a Triple Threat Match at Survivor Series. As far as tonight goes, he has no problems, but he is not friends with The Rock and he will slap The People's Eyebrow off of him if he does not do his part.

Michael Hayes interviews WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon, who announces that she is nearly 100% and is starting to get a lot of her memories and feelings for Test back. She hopes that Test beats an apology out of The British Bulldog as Test is seen talking with WWF co-owner Shane McMahon.

Kevin Kelly interviews Kane and X-Pac. Kane says that Tori told him not to make fun of Buh Buh Ray Dudley, and as he almost mocks Buh Buh Ray's speech impediment before reaching for his autolarynx, he tells X-Pac to promise him he will stay out of the match no matter what. X-Pac tells him that if he wants to do this himself, he understands more than anybody. All of a sudden, Kane and X-Pac are assaulted by The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley).

Before the next match, The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) show up with Kane's autolarynx. Buh Buh Ray proceeds to mock how Kane's speech patterns before bragging about stealing the autolarynx. D-Von Dudley says Kane should have learned not to mess with them early on.

Kane beats Buh Buh Ray Dudley by disqualification after D-Von Dudley interferes. X-Pac is seen watching the match on a monitor backstage. After the match, X-Pac stands by as Kane is double-teamed, and Tori tells him to get out there and help Kane, as he is his best friend. Tori also tells him that if he does not get out there, she will. X-Pac runs to the ring after a double team.

Kevin Kelly interviews The British Bulldog. Bulldog finds it funny that WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon is regaining her memory, as Test won't be able to remember anything after he gets through smashing his head into the steel cage over and over again.

The British Bulldog vs. Test in a Steel Cage Match ends in a no-contest. As Test climbs to the top of the cage, The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) climb over the guardrail and cut the lock to the cage door with bolt cutters. After Test hits Bulldog with an elbow from the top of the cage, The Posse go on the attack, and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon fights The Posse off single-handedly. Bulldog gets out of the cage as Test lays in the corner and The Posse continue to attack Shane. Rodney and Pete Gas are able to leave the cage, but Test grabs Joey Cage and boots him in the face before tossing him out. The Posse then slam the cage dooro nthe skull of Test, then limp away to the back. Afterwards, WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon shows up and checks on Shane.

Triple H and The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) argue with each other at the locker room entrance. Meanwhile, The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) head to "The Friendly Tap" for a beer. All of a sudden, two men recognize them and offer to buy them a drink, but they refuse to take no for an answer and one of them challenges them to an arm wrestling match. After some money is laid on the table, the challenge is accepted and Bradshaw wins immediately. The other guy accuses them of cheating, and calls Faarooq a "darkie," saying he can't count right and that "he's a good boy." The two locals continue to be racist towards Faarooq, and this starts a nasty bar room brawl where The Acolytes come out on top after they annihilate not only the two locals but anyone else who wants to step up. The Acolytes leave as the manager calls 911. (The Friendly Tap is a bar owned by referee Tim White, who is proprietor of the bar at the time and would be for years.)

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. During the match, Triple H runs in, but Austin notices him and keeps him out of the ring, and brawls with him to the stage, leaving The Rock without a tag team partner. As The Rock fights off The Outlaws on his own, X-Pac runs into the ring and hits The Rock with a spinning heel kick and allowing The New Age Outlaws the win. After the match, Austin runs back into the ring, and Triple H goes in after him. Triple H, X-Pac and The New Age Outlaws then outnumber Austin and The Rock and take the boots to them. All four men then put on D-Generation X jerseys and celebrate, as D-Generation X has now gotten back together.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for October 14, 1999

Mankind enters WWF Chairman Vince McMahon's office. After plugging his new book, he says it is time to repay him for the favor he did him last week by bringing back The Rock 'n Sock Connection (The Rock and Mankind) for one night. All Vince has to do is book the match. Vince says it is okay with him, but says he does not have a willing partner. Mankind says The Rock wants this worse than he does, and that Vince made it happen. Vince wishes Mankind the best of luck.

Before the next match, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn mentions that Hardcore and Crash Holly will face him and "Road Dogg" Jesse James for the WWF Tag Team Championships at No Mercy, but they are due for an ass whupping courtesy of The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg, Billy Gunn). However, they are feeling a little froggy and are issuing an open challenge for the tag team titles. Suddenly, Triple H shows up, the right side of his face bruised, swollen, and purple; his right eye black. Triple H talks to them, apologizes for interrupting them, and says he may never see them again. He then tells the fans this may be the last time they will ever see him again. He never intended for anything other than to come out and wrestle and live his dream. All he ever wanted to do was be in the ring and be the best in the world, and he never intended to live like some sort of cheap thrill seeker who performed for some sick people who wanted to see some guys kill each other for their entertainment. He says this is what the business has come down to, and it is wrong. He says the Superstars put their lives on the line, and the crowd could less as they only want to see someone get hurt. He says he is sick of it and he is done, and that this is the last time everyone will ever see him as he is done. Before he leaves, he wants WWF Chairman Vince McMahon to come out to the ring, and hopefully this will never happen to anyone ever again. Vince McMahon shows up, and Triple H asks him how he could let what happened to him happen. He says Vince has brought the business to the point that people have brought in poisonous snakes and that everyone is putting their lives on the line. He tells Vince to look at his face, saying this could be anybody, and that he has given his body, his face and his life for the business, and Vince could care less. He mentions his meeting with a poisonous rattlesnake last Monday night on Raw, and asks Vince if this is professional wrestling and if this is what he signed up for. He says that every opportunity has been taken away from him due to this, and tells Vince it's over. He is done, and he quits. He tells Vince he screwed himself, and there will be no main event. Even if he wanted to, he could not come to the building, and he will not anymore as he does not care anymore. He also tells Vince that when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin gets to the building, he wants Austin to look at him and see what has happened, as it is much Austin's fault as it is Vince's. He says he will hand the WWF Championship over to Austin, as it means more to him than life itself.

X-Pac meets Kane backstage. He apologizes to Kane, but Kane says "Sean...stay out of this."

The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) beat Kane in a 2-on-1 handicap match. After the match, X-Pac runs in with a steel chair.

Mankind runs into Stevie Richards, who asks him if he could take on Val Venis. Mankind reminds Stevie Richards that Dude Love is a lover, not a fighter, and that Val Venis could kill him. Stevie says he is his best friend, and Mankind says he can be his friend, but not his best friend, and that he is looking for him.

In footage from earlier today, Michael Hayes interviews Test. Test says he can't even read The British Bulldog's name without getting pissed off; however, WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon does not want to be the cause of any violence, and he has to put her first. He hopes that she can recover so they can get married and move on with their lives. Stephanie may have forgiven The British Bulldog, but he has not.

Chris Jericho and Curtis Hughes are seen brawling backstage. Referees and officials have to restore order.

Mankind finds The Rock, who is on his phone. He tells him The Rock that WWF Chairman wants them to team up one last time, and Mankind thinks Vince is doing them a favor by letting The Rock 'n Sock Connection team up one last time to say goodbye the fans before The Rock goes on a singles career. The Rock says the only way he would entertain the thought if it is on SmackDown and if it is the absolute last time they ever tag together. Mankind tries to tell them who they are up against, but The Rock says it doesn't matter who they are up against. The Rock leaves, and Mankind says they are facing The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn for the WWF Tag Team Championships.

Chris Jericho beats Curtis Hughes after ring announcer Howard Finkel shows up and distracts referee Tim White so that Jericho can use a steel chair that he has planted in the corner as a weapon. After the match, Jericho tells Hughes there is no reason to be embarrassed after being beaten "fairly and squarely" by the toughes and meanest man in the World Wrestling Federation, and says Hughes hs always known that he is one bad mamma jamma. Even though Curtis Hughes will never, ever with him again and that he is a loser in the game of life, out of the goodness of his heart, he will give him a consolation prize of a farewell gift that is as worth as much as a set of encyclopedias: Howard Finkel. He says that if there were two idiots who were perfect for each other, it would be them, and he hopes that they form a connection of ebony and ivory that will dominate for years to come. He says he has seen how they look at each other in the lccker room and want to be together forever, and thanks to him, it can finally come true.

We see footage from earlier today where Jim Ross interviews Big Show. On Monday, he found out his father had terminal cancer, and that he does not have a lot of time left. He remembers his father telling him "Whatever you start, you finish," and he has never finished anything he has ever started. He is a great athlete and has done well at things, but he has never put his heart into anything. What has hit him the hardest is that he does not have a lot of time to prove he can put his heart into something and be the best he can be at something.

Terry Taylor interviews The Big Boss Man, who says he does not care about Al Snow or Big Show's personal issues. He has a problem with who booked him in a match with them, and the only way to get answers is to beat them up and win the WWF Hardcore Championship.

We see footage from "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry's third sex therapy session with a third sex therapist. Unlike the other two, this therapist is a White male instead of a Black female. Mark said he needed a male therapist, as all he thought about was them the whole time he asked for their help. The therapist feels he can help him, and touches him when eh says that. Mark - whom the therapist calls "Chocolate" and "Sexual" - tries to get him to come back, but to no avail.

The Big Boss Man beats Al Snow and Big Show to win the WWF Hardcore Championship after Big Show puts Al Snow through a table and Boss Man nails Big Show in the forehead with his nightstick.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up at the arena.

We see footage from the break where Chyna calls for help backstage.

Before the next match, Val Venis says that as he strolls, struts and gyrates his way to No Mercy, the only thing on his mind is absolute victory. He tells Mankind that Mr. Rocko belongs to him, as he pulled him out of the garbage can and brought him ever so close to the promised land. Since then, Mr. Rocko has been in places The Rock could only dream of. At No Mercy, Mankind will find out first-hand exactly why he is the single fastest up and coming athlete in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.

Val Venis beats Stevie Richards. During the match, it is announced that EMTs are with Chyna backstage. After the match, Val Venis pulls Mr. Rocko out of his tights and applies a testicular claw to Stevie Richards.

EMTs and Chyna are seen wheeling a convulsing Triple H into an ambulance. Chyna gets in the back with Triple H before the ambulance speeds off.

The British Bulldog shows up. He says he can't, won't and does not care about anybody. All he cares about is the WWF Championship, and if Triple H is too sick to defend the title, then he will take it from whoever has it. As for The Rock, if he thinks he can slam him in a pile of bulldog crap and get away with it, then at No Mercy, he is going to knock that Brahma bullcrap out of him and get one step closer to the WWF Championship.

Terri Runnels does a photo shoot where she is nude and covered in money. She says that if a picture is worth a thousand words, then her picture is worth a hundred thousand words. He tells the team of Edge and Christian and The New Brood (Jeff and Matt Hardy) to fight their hearts out, as to the victor goes these spoils. As Edge and Christian watch the photo shoot backstage, The Hardys and Gangrel attack from behind.

Jeff Jarrett and Miss Kitty show up. Inside the ring is a table and various household items. Jarrett tells Chyna that after Monday night, it has become obvious that she has not learned what the role of a woman should be. At No Mercy, he will show her. Tonight, he will demonstrate what good housekeeping is all about, as she does not have a clue. We then see the items in the ring, starting with the iron and ironing board, followed by a skillet, a frying pan, a portable oven range, a coffee pot, a broom in a garbage can, and of course, a guitar. Jarrett says he is bringing everything but the kitchen sink to prove he is the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, that men are dominant and women are weak. All of a sudden, Debra shows up, and says Chyna will be the new Intercontinental Champion.

Kevin Kelly interviews "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who says he does not feel sorry for Triple H. He is surprised that the rattlesnake didn't die, and that he had no way of knowing the rattlesnake would bite Triple H. If he has to drive to the hospital to get the belt, he will do it, but either way, he will be WWF Champion on Sunday.

The New Brood (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat Edge and Christian to tie the Terri Runnels Invitational at two wins a piece despite a double cover where Jeff covers Edge and Christian covers Matt. It is explained that Jeff and Edge were the legal men, and Christian and Matt were not.

We see GTV footage where WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon meets with The British Bulldog, telling him that this is not a trick. Stephanie says she does not remember what happened, but she has seen the video footage and says he is not to blame and that her father, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, is also not to blame. She says that Vince, her brother and WWF co-owner Shane, and Test are all upset. She does not know what they are going to do, but before anything can happen, she wants to talk to him and ask him to publicly apologize. The Bulldog says he is sick of apologizing, and says this is a waste of his time.

Before the next match, The Godfather gives Mideon a choice between wrestling him or having one of the hos for entire night. Mideon calls The Godfather a dumbass before saying he doesn't do hos and asks if he has any farm animals. The Godfather asks Mideon if he is some kind of sicko, and beats him up.

The Godfather beats Mideon after knocking Viscera off the apron. He gets the pinfall after the hos grab at Viscera's leg. After the match, Viscera attacks The Godfather.

It is reported that Triple H is on his way back to the arena from the hospital.

Before the finish, Billy Gunn pushes Mankind into referee Earl Hebner. Crash Holly shows up and hits Mankind with a baseball bat, and Hardcore Holly hits Billy Gunn wit with one of the tag titles. Mankind gets his arm over Billy Gunn for the three count and the tag team titles. The Rock is not happy about the situation.

Chyna helps Triple H to the locker room, and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is inside. Triple H tells Austin that the WWF Championship is not worth his life, and tells him to take the WWF Championship. Austin then takes it...to the face. Triple H attacks Austin with the WWF Championship, then rips the purple bruiser on his face off and tells him the title means more to him than it will ever mean to Austin.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for September 23, 1999

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

Big Show beats Triple H in a Choke Slam Challenge, being able to choke slam Triple H before he can do the same to Big Show. After the match, Big Show choke slams Triple H again. Harvey Wippleman is the referee for this match. Triple H is 0-1 in his challenge.

We see footage from outside the arena from earlier today where the referees are on strike. The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) attack Teddy Long with garbage cans to send a message to The Acoltyes (Faarooq and Bradshaw), saying they've made it personal.

Stanley Cup champion Brett Hull is in the audience with his son.

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

D'Lo Brown guests on commentary for the next match.

X-Pac beats "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry by count-out. "Doctor" Tom Prichard is the referee for this match. "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry retains the WWF European Championship. After the match, D'Lo Brown go at it near the commentary table, and Henry sends D'Lo into the ring post.

Lilian Garcia interviews Luna Vachon, who likes to thanks Ivory forgiving a shot at the WWF Women's Championship as she finally gets her opportunity to take the title and put it around her waist where it belongs. He then asks one more favor of Ivory: make it a hardcore match.

Jeff Jarrett and Miss Kitty show up. Debra is conspicuous by her absence. Jarrett introduces himself and says he is a man's man and that this is a man's world. He says men are dominant and women are weak, and when he bitch slaps Chyna at Unforgiven, she will understand reality. Jarrett then says that Debra's "malnourished puppies" are at home, licking their wounds, because she entered his world and got the Figure Four Leg Lock for it. Jarrett then eyes a female stage manager at ringside who is telling him to wrap his promo up, calls her a skank, and asks if she is telling him what to do. He gets out of the ring, tosses her notes into the ring and tells her to get in there and do what women are designed to do: clean crap up. After she gets in, Jarrett attempts to lock in the Figure Four Leg Lock when Chyna runs in and hits Jarrett in the back of the head with a frying pan. He then places a frying pan and soup ladle in his hands before dressing him in the apron before taking Jarrett's wrestling shorts and putting them on. Chyna tells Jarrett that at Unforgiven, he will be seeing who is wearing the pants as well as his Intercontinental title.

Triple H beats Kane in an Inferno match. . The Brooklyn Brawler is the referee in this match. During the match, X-Pac is seen lying on the stage, and Kane notices this as well as The Undertaker, Mideon and Viscera approaching X-Pac, who is bloodied. Kane goes up to the top rope, jumps over the flames and goes after Mideon and Viscera, who set Kane on fire, ending the match. After the match, Kane checks on X-Pac. Triple H is now 1-1 in his challenge.

Kane is distraught after the pain that X-Pac has been put through. Lilian Garcia is then seen interviewing The Undertaker, Big Show, The Undertaker, Mideon and Viscera. The Undertaker asks Big Show if he warned him about what would happen if he betrayed him. He says that Kane is now sitting there like a sniveling little idiot holding X-Pac in his hands. The Undertaker says their job is done, and that it is time to venture off into the night. Lilian Garcia reminds The Undertaker about his Casket Match about Triple H, but The Undertaker says nobody orders him to do something he does not want to do, and that there will be no Casket Match. WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up and confronts him about it, and says he will not be in the Six-Pack Challenge at Unforgiven. The Undertaker then says he may not be participating in anything, and tells Vince to deal with that.

Before the next match, The Rock says Triple H runs his mouth about how he is "the game," and tells him to go back to the drawing board because his game plan absolutely sucks. He also has a game of his own: earlier tonight, he was talking to a couple of athletes by the name of Mike Modano and Brett Hull, and he told them that tonight, he will whip Triple H's ass all over the arena in the first-ever Brahma Bull Match, but he wanted to do something a little extra special for Dallas, Texas. He asked if he could borrow the Stanley Cup, and after they agreed, he says that this game is special as he will take the Cup, hold it up to the light, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways and stick it up Triple H's candy ass. Mankind shows up, and tells The Rock that he does not know a lot about Lord Stanley, but when he heard The Rock needed a cup, he got him one. He then pulls out a protective cup, as he speaks for everyone when he says that "The People's Jewels" must be protected so that one day, we can have a "Rocky Jr." running around. He has to disagree with him on one thing: he wants to see the Brahma Bull Match, but he says people want to see his Boiler Room Brawl match more. He says he knows every inch of the boiler room, and what he has there is a special metal pipe. He plans to take that metal pipe, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways and...hit him right over the head with it, due to The Rock starting a hole through him. Suddenly, "Road Dogg" Jesse James is seen for the frist time since Chris Jericho injured his back five weeks ago. He tells The Rock and Mankind are overlooking the fact that they are the WWF Tag Team Champions, and that means a little something to him. He says he's got registry at The Smackdown Hotel, but he is not sleeping single as nobody wants to see a Brahma Bullrope Match or a Boiler Room Brawl, but they do want to see a tag team match. He brings out "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn, and for the first time since earlier this year, Road Dogg and Mr. Ass are back together as The New Age Outlaws. He then tells The Rock to reach down and see if he an find his family jewels. Mankind says he is a big fan of The New Age Outlaws, but if they want to challenge them for the tag titles, The Rock 'n Sock Connection back down from no one.

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat The Rock and Mankind to win the WWF Tag Team Championships for the fourth time. This is the fourth reign for Road Dogg and the seventh for Billy Gunn. Interestingly, the referee for this match is Jimmy Korderas, even though the regular referees are on strike.

Al Snow is waiting for someone backstage. He also finds out his watch is broken.

At least, that is what Triple H thinks. After the match, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon shows up and tells Triple H he has not won yet as he has to place Viscera in the casket as well.

Lilian Garcia interviews Ivory, who is concerned to get in the ring with Luna Vachon, saying she is crazy and that rules do not apply to her. At the same time, she has something to defend that has honor, dignity and class. She accepts Luna's challenge to a hardcore match at Unforgiven, as she is not willing to let Luna embarrass the title.

Before the next match, Hardcore Holly says that earlier this week on Raw, he did him and Pepper a favor by beating the hell out of The Big Boss Man, leaving him blind and senseless.
