- Chris Benoit: Mick, before you were interrupted, I believe you were talking about, um, what a lousy commissioner you've been. I spent some time thinking about this week, when on Monday, after the Rock attacked me from behind after my match, and being the kind of person that he is, smashed me in the face with a chair! Then for the second time, after attacking me from behind, with a chair, and bringing me on top of a limo, being the piece of crap that he is, gave me the Rock Bottom! See, those are the kind of... gutless acts the Rock has to resort to against the greatest technical wrestler in the WWF. See, the Rock needs weapons and chairs, all I need are my hands. No! All I need is the Crossface. Say, Jericho, you happen to remember the Crossface, don't you? Oh. Oh, yeah, that's right, last time I had you in the Crossface, you passed out from the pain. So, no, you probably don't remember the Crossface.
- Shane McMahon: Hey, Mick, congratulations on your first intelligent and fair decision here in the World Wrestling Federation as its commissioner. You see, Mick, by putting the WWF championship on the line this Sunday at Fully Loaded, via the special disqualification stipulation, you have, in effect, taken away the Rock's avenue of escape, because the Rock knows he cannot beat Chris Benoit on his own. I know the Rock cannot beat Chris Benoit on his own. And more importantly, Mick, the people know that the Rock cannot beat Chris Benoit on his own. So, Mick, since you're on a roll with great decisions here, how about tonight you make another one as commissioner? How about tonight, in this very ring, Chris Benoit goes one on one with the Great One himself? And how about, let's let it be for the WWF championship? However, Mick, just like this Sunday at Fully Loaded, let's throw in that special disqualification stipulation. So, if... *when* the Rock is disqualified, Chris Benoit will walk out of here tonight the new World Wrestling Federation champion!

- Commissioner Mick Foley: You boys want some action? Benoit, Triple H, you want in the ring so bad? Then tonight, you got yourselves a tag-team match! Triple H, Benoit against Jericho and the Rock!
- Commissioner Mick Foley: Now, Monday night, I came out here and said it felt good to be back in the USA. And I know what you're probably thinking, and that is, "Mick comes out here and sucks up to every town in this country." But I really mean it this time when I say it's great to come back to my hometown...
- [the crowd cheers]
- Commissioner Mick Foley: ...right here in Long Island! And I've got to tell you...
- [the crowd chants his name]
- Commissioner Mick Foley: I came out here a few weeks ago and said that I had the greatest job in the world as the commissioner of the WWF. And I really do; I've had the time of my life. The only problem is, on Monday night while I was busy having the time of my life, I wasn't paying attention as "Raw" turned into one of the most violent and brutal shows in WWF history. So I've got a little problem; you see, as much as I like being backstage and messing around and telling jokes with the boys, that's not really why I was brought back to the WWF. I was brought back to be the commissioner, and sometimes I've gotta understand that, and unfortunately, tonight is one of those nights. Because I've got a lot of issues, one of them being the Rock situation. You know, I have been involved in some brutal wars in my wrestling career, but I saw something a little bit different in the Rock, and to tell you the truth, it scared me just a little bit. Because I'm not saying the Rock didn't have provocation, I'm not saying his act of hitting Chris Benoit and splitting him wide open wasn't justified. But what I am saying is that in the Rock's eyes, I saw unbridled hatred. Which leaves me a little bit concerned for Fully Loaded; you see, Rock, I have the feeling that when you step in the ring with Chris Benoit, you're going to be more concerned about beating the crap out of him than out of gaining a victory. And I do believe that the WWF fans deserve more than a cheap DQ title match. The WWF fans deserve more than a two-minute main event, and I've got a feeling you're not going to pay attention to my rulebook. So what I'm going to do is this: I am going to make sure that disqualifications *do* count, as a matter of fact, I'm going to make sure that the WWF title can change hands on a disqualification. And most important, I'm here to make sure that the brutality that's been popping up under my command as WWF commissioner comes to an end. Now, as for tonight's card here in Long Island...
- [he's interrupted by Chris Jericho's entrance music]
- Chris Jericho: You know, Mick, while I think it's tremendous that you want to abolish all the brutality in the World Wrestling Federation, I think you can understand where I'm coming from when I say after I experience what I experienced at the hands of Triple H, well, I don't want the brutality to end just yet. You see, getting nailed in the head with a sledgehammer kinda knocked something loose in my brain. I've been, you know, feeling a little bit off-kilter. A little bit crazy. A little bit wacko! I don't feel so much like the funny, charismatic showman Y2J right now. No. I feel a little bit more bloodthirsty. I feel a little bit more like a predator. I feel a little bit more like... a hunter. And whether you realize this or not, Mick, you're the president of a very prestigious club. Yeah, that's right, you're the president of the "I just beat the living hell out of Triple H and left him lying within an inch of his life" club. And do you know what? I want in. And I understand that it's a very, very exclusive club. I mean, I know it's much easier to get into the... "My wife is still a filthy, dirty, disgusting, brutal, nasty, rancid, reeking, putrid, foul-smelling, festering, trash-bag tramp" club. But I want in just the same, and that's why I asked you for a Last Man Standing match against Triple H at Fully Loaded. You can consider that my inauguration, my initiation, if you will. But even though you granted my request, Mick, I don't think I can wait 'til Sunday. I want in to that club, and I want in tonight!
