Kurt Angle Hits Rock Bottom (2000)

Chris Benoit: Chris Benoit

Quotes 

• The Rock : Now, the Rock says that last week on "SmackDown!", Shane McMahon, like the man you are, hit the Rock in the head wit a steel chair...

  [the crowd jeers] 

  The Rock : ...Chris Benoit, you got the one-two-three on the Rock, so maybe, Shane McMahon, you're trying to send the Rock a message. Maybe you think that Chris Benoit was screwed out of the WWF title. Maybe you think that Chris Benoit should be the WWF champion.

  [more boos] 

  The Rock : And maybe you think that Benoit should go on and face the Rock at SummerSlam for the WWF title. Is that what you think, Shane? Well, after careful consideration, the Rock says this... he wipes a New York City sewer rat's ASS with what you think!

  [the crowd cheers] 

  The Rock : You see, Shane and Chris Benoit, it's as simple as this, forget about SummerSlam, because there's gonna be no more back and forth, no more tit-for-tat. Benoit, you want your title shot? You got your title shot right here, right... now.

  [Benoit's music hits, and he and Shane come out together] 

  Chris Benoit : Rocky, the entire world knows that at Fully Loaded, I beat you for the World Wrestling Federation title all by myself. Only to have the title stripped by Commissioner Foley. But you know, Rock, that's okay, because by accepting your challenge tonight...

  [the crowd begins an "asshole" chant] 

  Chris Benoit : By accepting your challenge tonight, it gives me the chance to beat you, and until you prove me wrong, become World Wrestling Federation champion!

  Shane McMahon : [taking the mic]  Yes, yes, yes, hold on one second. That is true. Chris Benoit will become the World Wrestling Federation champion here tonight, Rock. But under one special stipulation, which I'll get to in a second. But, Rock...

  [the crowd begins chanting "Shane's a pussy"] 

  Shane McMahon : Whatever. Quiet down. Now, Rock, I'm actually shocked that you'd remember anything from last Thursday night at "SmackDown!". I mean, the chair shot to the head, Chris Benoit coming off the top rope. But, Rock, you know what? I guess just for giggles, and my own personal amusement, I didn't think you would remember, so I had the truck put together a special videotape, so, Rock, allow me to take you down to memory lane to last Thursday night on "SmackDown!" Please roll the footage.

  [a clip from the show plays on the TitanTron] 

  Shane McMahon : Yes, there it is, Rocky going for the People's Elbow, up one with great ease, and two and... . ooh! Wham! And again. Oh, but that wasn't enough, Chris Benoit coming off the top rope with the flying headbutt, and yes, right there, listen. Yes, Rock, did you hear that? One, two, three, Chris Benoit did defeat you in that very ring in the middle. Rock, that is your fate. That is exactly what Chris Benoit is gonna do tonight, because Chris Benoit will walk out of here the World Wrestling Federation champion. But, Rocky, we're not done. No, the night is just beginning for you, because it's not bad enough, Rock, that we just defeat you for the WWF championship. No, no, no. What's gonna happen tonight, Rock...

  [the crowd chants "Shane's a pussy" again] 

  Shane McMahon : That's untrue, and it doesn't matter because tonight, Rock, you are gonna suffer the same fate on every target that our group has chosen, whether it be Chris Jericho or the Undertaker. Rock, allow me to show you what's gonna happen after you lose the WWF championship tonight.

  [another clip from "SmackDown! plays] 

  Shane McMahon : Let's go back to last Thursday night again, and let's show you, oh, yes, there's Kane and the Big Show. Check that out, unbelievable superhuman strength by the Big Show. Wham! That's it. And down, down, down. Oh, yeah! Rock, you see that's exactly how you're gonna be left laying, without the WWF championship and flat on your back, Rock. The Brahma Bull will be put to rest, and, Rock, that special stipulation I was talking about, listen to this. Tonight, the World Wrestling Federation championship will be determined with a no-disqualification stipulation.

  The Rock : No disqualification?

  Shane McMahon : No DQ.

  The Rock : Well, the Rock has no problem with that. The Rock in a no-DQ, Shane with no IQ, Chris Benoit, with his goofy gap in his teeth, never be on the cover of GQ. You see, 'cause the fact of the matter is this, it just doesn't matter to the Rock, because the Rock is not gonna lose his WWF title. The Rock is not gonna get taken out, but what the Rock is gonna do is the Rock guaran-damn-tees to whip not one, not two, BOTH your candy asses all over New York City!
