Triple H & Stephanie Interview
Triple H hypes up his match at WrestleMania, by saying he will
walk out on top, although he is going against the top 3 men in
the sport (he, being the 4th). He talks more garbage, and Vince
comes down. Vince comes down and says Triple H is full of
himself. He says he knows Triple H will probably cause a DQ, to
hang onto his title, so Vince officially makes it a no DQ/no
count out match. Triple H says that it won't shake his
confidence, and he will still win. He says he is the man. Mick
Foley then comes down and says that he is going to take Triple
H's WWF Championship. He says he wants that, and nothing more,
but he can beat Triple H and get the title at the same time. He
says at WrestleMania, he will give it 110%, because he doesn't
have to work the next day, but Triple H does. He says even if he
ends up in the hospital, just as long as he has Triple H's title.
He says it will be a long, long time before fans see him again,
and it has been an honor coming into our living rooms. Mick says
WrestleMania will be one hell of a match.
Chris Jericho vs. Eddie Guerrero
Jericho got the Walls of Jericho locked, and Benoit interfered
for a DQ. Kurt Angle then came back out and layed Jericho and
Benoit out with his finisher. WinnerChris Jericho via DQ. Chyna
came into the ring to get her hands on Guerrero, but he ran away.
Road Dogg and X-Pac vs. Edge and
Christian
Both teams switch control back and forth. The match takes a turn
when Road Dogg attempts the Pump Handle Slam on Edge, but he
reverses it. The Hardys are doing commentary for the match, and
when the referee gets knocked down, Matt nails Edge with Senton
Bomb, and Road Dogg covers him for the victory. WinnersRoad
Dogg and X-Pac After the match, Mick Foley is seen talking with
The Rock in the back. He says WrestleMania is his last match, and
he will help The Rock. Rock says he doesn't want his help.
Crash Holly (WWF Hardcore
Champion)vs. Tazz
Match begins and quickly moves outside. Within 5 minutes,
Viscera, Mosh, and Thrasher join the fight. They all beat on
Crash, and they head into the back where the production trucks
are. Crash eventually finds a way to escape.
Meanwhile, back in the arena, the latest G-TV is airing. The Kat comes into Val Venis' room and says she would do anything to sway his decision at WrestleMania. She then lays down on his bed and G-TV blanks out right as Val straddles her on his bed.
Stephanie McMahon vs. Jacqueline
(Women's Title)
Triple H had his plan going, as the rest of D-Generation X made
their way out. Stephanie would not get in the ring. Jackie chased
her around, until she was tripped by X-Pac and then DDT'd by
Tori, at which point Stephanie made the easy pinfall for the win.
WinnerStephanie McMahon (New Women's Champion!) After the
match, DX all celebrated, until the pyro exploded. Out came Kane
and Rikishi Phatu, followed with just about everyone involved in
WrestleMania. A huge battle royal-like brawl broke out in the
ring with Kane, Rikishi, RoadDogg, X-Pac, The Dudley Boyz, The
Hardy Boyz, Edge, Christian, The Radicals, Chris Jericho,
Hardcore Holly, Kurt Angle, Too Cool, Kaientai, The Mean Street
Posse, Crash Holly, Tazz, The Big Bossman, Bull Buchanan, The
Acolytes, The Godfather, D-Lo Brown, Steve Blackman, Al Snow, T
& A, Viscera, The Big Show, and Shane McMahon. This brawl
went on for a good four or five minutes. The crowd continued to
chant for The Rock. He finally did come out. He and Big Show
cleaned house (not together, separately). Scotty Too Hotty
received the Rock Bottom twice. Mick Foley ran out with his
barbed-wire 2x4. The Rock and Foley were left standing, although
The Rock didn't really appreciate the help. Stephanie and Triple
H, who had left the ringside area once the brawl broke out, posed
by the entrance way with their belts up in the air.
