Tables match: D-Generation X vs. Dudley Boyz
Road Dogg's speeches these days aren't as fun.
X-Pac wants to be first to grab a table, but Bubba moves pretty fast for his size. Both D-X guys take shots to the crotch.
Bubba sets his sights on Tori and is distracted from the match. D-von's left to suffer the bronco buster.
Why are people even tagging, there's no DQ and a win comes from tabling. Lawler accidentally blows the entire premise of the ref not seeing a tag just before it happens. Whoops.
Bubba's tagged in and he says suck it. The crowd loves it. Sidewalk slam, full nelson, he's clearing house and wants TABLES.
Four tables are set up and Road Dogg hits a pump handle slam, D-von through a table.
X-Pac wants a hurricanrana, he's caught and goes through a table. Road Dogg's dancing fails him, he and Bubba throw Mike Chioda through a table!
Brisco is coming out, but why. 3D and Road Dogg goes through a table! The ref is out though and he doesn't see it.
Bubba wants to put Tori through a table, Brisco saves her. X factor and Bubba goes through a table, D-X wins and why would anybody want to see this.
Oh wait Brisco is still out here and they're gonna table him. 3D through a table. Why is nobody covering him to win the hardcore belt.
They're making "Who's side will Shawn be on?" a big story, but both guys want him to call it down the middle. Maybe he'll just call it down the middle?
HHH does the honorable thing and asks Vince and company to leave ringside. It's a battle of two men.
Ironman Match: HHH vs. The Rock
The first minute is all chit-chattering, then they lock up like its an old school match. As expected, they're starting slow with a bunch of headlocks and wristlocks.
Rock gets a series of two counts, HHH bails to buy some time. 55 minutes left! HHH tries to stay out a couple other times.
HHH with a clothesline and now he's working on Rock's arm. Arm bar, arm bar, arm bar.
Rock gets a surprise rock bottom, he gets a pinfall with 49 minutes left!
They head outside the ring after this. Shawn could count out both, but what effect would that even have? HHH gets thrown into the barricades, then Rock too. HHH tries a running knee but runs into the wall.
Suplex into the ring, and Rock pulls HHH back out. Time to work on HHH's knee that he hurt a bit ago. He's clearly softening HHH for the sharpshooter at the 60 minute mark.
Oh wait, figure four leg lock from Rock! HHH is in pain and keeps trying to grab Shawn. Finally HHH turns it. Ropes grabbed.
They're outside by the spanish announce table. And now into the crowd, time for a walk. There's a giant cardboard cutout Rock waving in Rock's face. 40 minutes left.
HHH with a suplex and some elbow drops, that won't get a pin. He tries another 8 or so covers. Rock's fighting back and tossed out of the ring.
More attacks on the knee from Rock. He wants another figure four, HHH kicks him off and hits a pedigree. Three count and it's tied at one. 34 minutes left.
