The show began with one of the coller things I've seen in awhile. Every Superstar in the WWF came to the ring, by onesies, twosies, and whole stables. Two major omitions however. DX, and The Rock. The Rock's music hit and he made his way down to a ring surrounded by superstars. He announced that they have elected him to be their speaker, and called out Triple H and Stephanie.

The Rock threatened that if Triple H didn't meet their demands, every superstar is planning on walking out and joining the World Rock Federation (WRF). First on the list, Reinstate MICK FOLEY!

Triple H agreed, but said that he was planning on it anyway. Secondly, no more "You're Fired" or Pink Slip Matches. Once again, they buckled. Lastly, no unjustified firings. Again, they agreed.

What's this? Screeching tires? MANKIND IS BACK! Mick Foley made his way through the crowd, and into the ring to thank The Rock. He set up the Main Event for the Royal Rumble, with a few stipulations to be added later. Mick Foley vs. Triple H at Madison Square Garden!

The Rock then got the stick again, and threw his name into the Royal Rumble. Mick and The Rock then put together one hell of a card for tonight.

Road Dogg vs. Billy Gunn
Triple H vs. X-Pac
DX vs. The Acolytes and The Rock 'n' Sock Connection

Now that was a cool beginning ;D

During the break, the remaining members of DX became really hostile with Triple H and walked out on him.

Road Dogg vs. Mr. Ass
Both men started out with a strong grapple, and had it broken up by the ref. Mr. Ass attacked Road Dogg with a clothsline from behind after another broken grapple. Gunn took advantage with several right hands to the face and began choking Road Dogg. Snapmare takover and a knee drop. Near fall, but Road Dogg kicks out. Road Dogg began to fight back, but Mr. Ass lifted a knee and knocked the wind out of the Dogg. RD thrown over the toprope, and to the outside. After dropping him face-first on the guird rail, both men went back in the ring. RD taking advantage again with the Rockin' Punches and Knee Drop. Jackhammer by Gunn! Mr. Ass attempts the Fame-Asser, but Road Dogg reverses it into a slam for the pin.

HAHA! "I've always told you that I'm a good kisser, but in addition to that I've compiled a list of 17 other things I'd like to do to those bad boys." Sorry, I have to wipe a tear from my eyes now. ;) He said that he'd be in room 3, waiting for her.
