- Triple H: What I propose, Cactus Jack, is that one more time, you and me. At No Way Out, one more time. But this is it! Your last shot at me, your last shot at the WWF title. And Cactus, you can have any type of match you want. Just... there will be no two-by-fours wrapped in razor sharp barbed wire. There will be no sharp, metallic objects. There will be no thumbtacks. There will not be any of your sadistic toys. We will have a match, plain and simple.
- Cactus Jack: Let me get this straight: you want me in a match, but it cannot involve two-by-fours wrapped in barbed wire. You want me in a match, but it cannot involve thumbtacks. You want me in a match, but it cannot involve sharp, metallic objects.
- Triple H: Congratulations, your brain does still work.
- Cactus Jack: Well, let me ask you this: you throw all those toys out of the picture, and I can have any other match I damn well desire?
- Triple H: Yes.
- Cactus Jack: Doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun, Triple H, but I'll tell you what: no barbed wire, no thumbtacks, no metallic objects... you leave me with only one choice.
- [pause]
- Cactus Jack: Hell in the Cell!
- [the audience pops]
- Michael Cole: Cactus, not withstanding, in 20 days at No Way Out, you have the match of your career... well, it's actually the match *for* your career. You meet Triple H, Hell in a Cell, with the World Wrestling Federation title and your career on the line. But tonight, you go into a 5-on-2 situation against Triple H, X-Pac, and the four men who stabbed you in the back.
- Cactus Jack: In 20 days, Michael Cole, do not make a mistake, don't make a mistake tonight, and that mistake is don't count Cactus Jack out. I WAS NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE! 15 years ago, they said, "Mick Foley, you're too slow. You're too ugly. You're not big enough, you're not strong enough", and for 15 years, I've been proving people wrong. And you expect Triple H and four ingrates to stand in my way? I was fully prepared to go one-on-five. I didn't ask for the Rock's help, he volunteered it, but I'm not stupid enough to turn it down! So the question is, will it be enough, and my answer is it's going to have to be. Because I will get through tonight. I will get through Hell in a Cell, and I will go on to WrestleMania, because it's meant to be. Bang, bang!
- Kevin Kelly: Well, certainly, Rock, I've gotta ask you a few questions. First and foremost, we know you have a date with the Big Show coming up at No Way Out. The winner of that contest goes to WrestleMania to battle for the WWF championship. A question we'll also answer at No Way Out is who goes to WrestleMania a as the champion. We found out earlier tonight, Rock, that Cactus Jack...
- [as the Rock holds up his hand to shut him up, the fans start chanting Rock's name]
- The Rock: Finally, the Rock has come back to Dallas! You know, Kevin Kelly, the Rock says this. You ask the Rock about WrestleMania, you ask the Rock about No Way Out, you ask the Rock about Cactus Jack. Well, let the Rock ask you a question.
- Kevin Kelly: Okay.
- The Rock: Have you ever had any... pie?
- Kevin Kelly: Yeah, Rock, as a matter of fact, I had a piece of apple pie earlier this afternoon. It... it was very delicious.
- The Rock: Well, it looks like you've had more than one piece of apple pie, obviously, Kevin. But the Rock's not talking about apple pie. The Rock is talking about... poontang pie.
- Kevin Kelly: Well, Rock, I don't mean to brag, but, you know, come on. I mean, you're talking about me here. As far as whether or not I've had a piece of poontang pie before in my life, I mean, come on. That's...
- The Rock: Don't lie to the Rock. You have *never* had a piece of poontang pie! But the Rock says this, jabroni, today is your lucky day. 'Cause over here to the right, the Rock has your very first piece of poontang pie.
- [he holds up a T-shirt with the design of a bull eating a piece of pie with the words "poontang pie" below]
- Kevin Kelly: Thanks, Rock. I really appreciate that.
- The Rock: [draping it over Kevin's face] Now, shut your mouth, know your role, don't move your head.
- The Rock: The Rock says this, the question was asked is who is the champion at WrestleMania going to face? Is it gonna be the Rock or is it gonna be the Big Show? Well, that's not the question. The question is, is who is the Rock going to face at WrestleMania? Is it gonna be Triple H or is it gonna be Cactus Jack? One way or the other, the Rock could care less. 'Cause you see, Big Show, do you actually think that you're gonna stand in the way of the Rock at WrestleMania? Do you think you're gonna stand in the way of destiny at No Way Out? The Rock says this, Big Show, the Rock was *meant* to go to WrestleMania. The Rock was *meant* to electrify the millions...
- [the crowd chants "and millions"]
- The Rock: ...and millions of Rock's fans. And, Big Show, at No Way Out, the Rock says he was *meant* to take his big right hand, slap the fat off your ass, and give it back to you!
- [with the "poontang pie" shirt still on his face, Kevin tries to check his watch]
- The Rock: Is poontang pie boring you, Kevin?
- [Kevin shakes his head]
- The Rock: Are you a little comme ci, comme ca?
- [Kevin shakes his head again]
- The Rock: Well, the Rock says this, you just sit there and you enjoy the poontang pie. It's gonna be a long time before you have poontang pie like that again. You'll thank the Rock one day, jabroni. The Rock says this, now, on to tonight. Cactus Jack, you got yourself in a situation where it's 5 on 1. Well, the Rock says this, tonight, your situation is not 5 on 1, it's 5 on... 2.
- [cheering, the crowd then starts a "Rocky" chant]
- The Rock: It's gonna be the Rock and Cactus Jack taking on DX. DX, the Rock says he's kicked your candy asses for years. And on to the Radicalz. On to Benoit, on to Malenko, on to Guerrero, on to Saturn, on to Pluto, on to Neptune, on to Uranus, oh, it doesn't matter what your names are! The Rock says this, is let the Rock welcome you to the Rock's world in the Rock's way. You wanna brag about your contracts? Well, the Rock says this. All you four jabronis, take your little contracts, roll 'em up real nice, put rubber bands around 'em, turn them sumbitches sideways, and stick 'em straight up your candy ass! If you smell what the Rock...
- [taking the shirt off Kevin and pushing him away]
- The Rock: ...is cooking.
- Triple H: Hell in the Cell? All right, Hell in the Cell. You got a deal. But one stipulation.
- Cactus Jack: You name it.
- Triple H: I will go through Hell in the Cell with you, but I want your career on the line. If I beat you in Hell in the Cell, you are finished! You retire, your career is over! And that means you, Mick Foley, which includes Dude Love, which includes Mankind, which includes Cactus Jack. You are finished! You are done! It is over!
- Cactus Jack: So, you want my career? You want my career? Well, let's talk about my career for just a minute. Do you know what I have done, Triple H, in my career? I have DONE IT ALL! Three-time WWF Champion. Eight-time WWF Tag Team Champion. The original Hardcore Champion. And the King of the Japanese Death Match. So I tell you once again, Triple H, you want my career? I have done it all, except for one thing. In 15 years that I have dedicated my life to this sport, there is only one thing that keeps me awake at night, and that is I have never main-evented a WrestleMania in my life. So, you want my career? I'm going to add one more stipulation. If I win... *WHEN* I win at Hell in the Cell, you put your title on the line. Because if I can't beat you, I don't deserve... no, no, no! If I can't beat you, I DO NOT *WANT* to wrestle ever again! But when I do, you look at me and make damn sure you understand. There will be no ridiculous stipulations, no title defenses, THAT'S IT! I win, I go to WrestleMania and you sit home. I win, I take on the winner of the Big Show and the Rock. In the greatest show in our industry. You accept my stipulation, then you're damn right I will put my entire 15-year career on the line!
- Triple H: Cactus Jack, at No Way Out, Hell in the Cell, you will face the Game, and if you win, you will go to WrestleMania the World Wrestling Federation Champion, the main event. But if I win, I will end your 15-year career! I will end your career and it will be over!
- [starting to walk down the ramp]
- Triple H: Cactus Jack, you have 20... about 20 days left in your glorious 15-year career. Because at Hell in the Cell, I will finish what I've started. At Hell in the Cell, Cactus Jack, I will end it for you. But, Cactus, I take what I want when I want it, and right now, I want a piece of your ass.
- [climbing onto the ring apron, to the Radicalz]
- Triple H: Now, the four of you have got two choices. you can either get your asses out of this ring and save yourselves a beating, or you can show your appreciation to the man that gave you the opportunity.
- [getting into the ring]
- Triple H: To the man that gave you your contracts.
- [the Radicalz jump Cactus, and X-Pac joins in; after a Bronco Buster from X-Pac, Benoit hits Cactus with a diving headbutt from the top rope]
- Triple H: Cactus, that is the beginning of the end. 20 days; count them, relish them, because in 20 days, it is the end.
- [hitting Cactus with the microphone, he then delivers a Pedigree as an exclamation point]
- Jerry 'The King' Lawler: Like I've been trying to tell you all along, J.R., this whole "friendship" thing is overrated.
