"It doesn't matter who you had in mind!"

The Rock: "Finally, the Rock has COME BACK ... home. [Jubel] Home to Miami, the home of the Miami Dolphins...home of Miami's favourite reggae superstar, Ziggy Marley [der im Publikum sitzt] - Dolphins, the Marley family, allow the Rock to introduce you to his family - and the Rock's family are the millions... of Rock's fans. [Rocky! Rocky!] Seein' as this is the very first millennium RAW, and the Rock is surrounded by the people of Miami, and the Rock is the People's Champion, the Rock sees it fit to say on this day - one thousand years from now, in the year 3000, when the historians look back and wonder what the sound was that encompassed this millennium, the Rock says it was the sound of the People chanting his name... and seeing as this is the very first year of the Rock's millennium, the Rock has but one resolution. Simply put, the Rock says he will be THE best damn WWF Champion there ever was.

But before the Rock becomes champion, he has one issue. That issue is Mick Foley. Mick, the Rock realises you gave fifteen hard-earned years to this business - this very business in which the Rock grew up in, and the way you were fired, the way you were put out of the WWF, the Rock says it was the biggest pile of monkey crap the Rock has ever seen! Now speaking of monkey crap... Triple H... the Rock knows that you are back there listening, so the Rock says if you have an ounce, an inch, a shred of hair on your ass... then you will come on out here, go one on one with the great one, look this brahma bull in the eyes, so this brahma bull can take his horns - shine 'em up real nice... turn 'em sideways, and stick 'em straight up your candyass!"

[Triple H und Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley kommen heraus.]

Triple H: "First of all - Rock, I passed an old lady in the back on my way up here - she says she wants her jacket back. Rock, let me make somethin' perfectly clear to you - there is nothing more than I would want in this world than to walk down there and beat your ass in front of every one of these jackasses - in front of your home town - in front of your fans - in front of your 'family' - to leave you layin' in a puddle of your own blood for all of them to watch. But the fact of the matter is, Rock, I've got bigger fish to fry than you.

Because quite frankly, Rock, you don't bring much to the table for me - you don't offer to me anything I want - you see, Rock, I too have made a New Year's resolution - and my resolution, very similar to yours, except that mine will take place tonight in that ring, because tonight The Game will go one-on-one for the World Wrestling Federation championship with the Big Show - and I WILL become the three-time World Wrestling Federation champion. Why? Because I am that damn good! But Rock, don't feel left out, Rock, because, we've got room in the show for you - as a matter of fact, I've got a hell of a little spot you can fill tonight - you know, Rock, I know how much you like to make history - you like to be a first for things - such as last week, the first-ever 'pink slip on a pole' match - which I believe that was the idea of my lovely bride - you remember... you remember that match, Rock? The one where YOU - FIRED - Mick Foley?

Well, tonight, Rock, you get to be involved in another first. Tonight you get to be in the first-ever ... Handicap 'You're Fired' match. Now if you're wondering exactly what that means - what it meanas is, that tonight in a handicap match - the Rock will go, not one-on-one, but one-on-three - AND, Rock if you do not win that match, your ass is fired. Oh, and Rock, hey, just to make things fair, because, hey, there's one thing about the McMahon-Helmsley era - we are fair - to make sure things are fair, if ANYBODY interferes in that match tonight, they will be fired on the spot. Spit it out, Rock, I don't have all day."

The Rock: "Well, the Rock just wants to know exactly who it is you had in mind for his opponents."

Triple H: "I'll tell you Rock--"

The Rock: "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU HAD IN MIND!" [Jubel]

Triple H: "Very good, very good, Pavlov, all your dogs have barked when you rang the bell. Your test was successful. Rock, you - it's only fair you'd want to know who your opponents are, so just to be fair, and since you seem to have so much energy tonight, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do - I am gonna give everybody here a chance to see firsthand what you can expect later tonight, I'm gonna give YOU a chance to see firsthand what you can expect later on tonight, 'cause I'll tell you what, here are your opponents right now."

[X-Pac und die New Age Outlaws attackieren The Rock hinterrücks.]

Triple H: "Rock, I tried to give you a warning last week - I told you if ya screw with us, you've got two choices...tonight, Rock, you will experience both firsthand, 'cause tonight Rock, first, you will get your ass kicked again - and then...you will get your ass - FIRED-UH."
