"You can't win the big one because you're not that good"

Chris Jericho: "You know, after the last couple of weeks, I've been hearing a lot of unflattering things about myself. I've heard that Y2J is a joke artist. I've heard that Y2J is not a big time pressure player. And I've heard that Y2J can not win the big one. That's all I've heard about, is the big one. And to all those people who've been saying that: You know what, they were all absolutely right. Because I've been in the WWF for over two years now and while I've done a lot of things I've never officially been the WWF Champion. And I was in WCW for a lot longer than that and I never even received a title shot, never less became the WCW Champion. But this Sunday at No Mercy I get a chance to tell all those people who said I couldn't do it, all those people who said that Chris Jericho would never become a true main event player, I can tell them to kiss my ***! Because Rock..."

[Jericho wird durch die Musik von Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley unterbrochen. Sie bleibt auf der Rampe stehen]

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: "Jericho, would you please shut the hell up! [Sie macht sich auf den Weg zum Ring] Wait, wait, wait, I've got another one. I've got another one, hang on! Here we go! Welcome to Smackdown Is Stephanie! You know, Jericho, this whole interrupting thing, it's really kind of fun. See, these fans are interrupting me and they're having fun. And it must be why you like to interrupt me over and over and over again. But then again, Jericho, you are used to repetition. After all, you continuously lose the big match. Now, it was a really hard decision on who to root for this Sunday in your match against The Rock. But quite frankly, I choose the lesser of two evils. And Jericho, I hope this Sunday at No Mercy, I hope The Rock cleans your clock! And you know, I know that even though Rocky and I haven't always gotten along, that if Rock were here right now, he would come out here and thank me publicly for my support!"

[The Rocks Musik ertönt und dieser kommt unter lautem Jubel zum Ring]

The Rock: "Finally The Rock has come back to Montreal! Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie..."

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: "Yes?"

The Rock: "The Rock must say you are looking quite... [blickt auf ihre Brüste] gigantic. And Stephanie, if you think for one single solitary second that The Rock wants to hear you come out..."

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: Wow, wow, wow, Rocky. Wow! I can tell were this is headin'! You don't want to take your frustration out on me. The person you should really be angry at is that man right there, Chris Jericho! After all it was Chris Jericho who on Monday night sat there at the commentary position and did absolutely nothing while Rhyno and RVD gave you a vicious beating! But Rock, you know that wasn't the first time that Jericho has been against you. I mean, think about it: Ever since the day Jericho came into the World Wrestling Federation he's been against you, Rock. Now, I prepared a little bit of footage to show the audience, but since you're out here allow me to remind you of Chris Jericho's debut in the World Wrestling Federation! [Das Video von Jerichos WWF-Debüt wird eingespielt] See Rock, Chris Jericho has always been jealous of you. It's Chris Jericho's dream to be in the ring with you, Rock, in a match. But Rocky, you can't trust that man! Chris Jericho will screw you the first chance he gets!"

The Rock: "Stephanie, The Rock appreciates your concern. And The Rock also knows that if anybody knows anything about s-s-screwing it's you!"

Chris Jericho: "It actually kind of surprises me, Steph, that you wouldn't be cheering for me! Because you can't even spell the word 'Jericho' without the letters H-O!"

The Rock: "Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, WOW! Stephanie, don't listen to Chris Jericho, because the Rock wants your support. The Rock needs your support. And if The Rock can get half as much support as that push-up bra gives those big phony funbags than quite frankly, Stephanie, The Rock would be unstoppable."

Chris Jericho: "You know, and..."

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: Stop it, stop it, stop it right now! I hate you both! And I want you both to lose! I hate you!"

[Stephanie rennt aufgelöst in den Backstagebereich]

Chris Jericho: "Thanks for the memories, Steph. Now that we got rid of that, Rock, you got something you wanna say to me?"

The Rock: "Like what?"

Chris Jericho: "Well, I mean you did give me the Rock Bottom last Monday night on RAW."

The Rock: "The Rock gave you the Rock Bottom last Monday night on RAW, because you didn't do what The Rock said. The Rock said, stay out of his way. And just as always, you failed!

Chris Jericho: "I don't think you quite getting it right, Rock. I wasn't getting in your way, I was helping you retain the WCW Championship! I got in your way so I could save your title."

The Rock: "Well, that's just perfect, Chris Jericho. Saving The Rock's title? Because The Rock were caused, later on in the night when you were beat down - SMACKED DOWN - by the alliance, it was The Rock who saved your ***!"

Chris Jericho: "I wouldn't worry about saving my ***, Rock. Cause on Sunday, I think you better worry about saving your own ***!"

The Rock: "And why would you say that, Chris? Why? Is The Rock in any danger whatsoever? Is The Rock in jeopardy? Is The Rock in any danger of losing the WCW Title? You see, Chris Jericho, there's a reason, a big, big reason, why people... they talk. And they and they talk. About why, why you can't win the big one. And of all the reasons The Rock tells you the truth. The reason you not can win the big one simply is because you're not that good!"

Chris Jericho: "Not that good, huh? Well, I promise you this, Rock: After Sunday, you will never..."

The Rock: "...ever see the WCW Title again! Is that the sorry line you're..."

[Jericho hält seine Hand vor The Rocks Gesicht und ahmt dessen Just-Bring-It-Pose nach. The Rock verpasst Jericho daraufhin den Rock Bottom und verlässt den Ring.]
