- Triple H: Rock, let me make something perfectly clear to you: there is nothing more that 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 hometown. In front of your fans, in front of your family. To leave you laying 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.
- [the audience boos as Stephanie bows]
- Triple H: 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 means 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.
- [the Rock holds up his hand for silence, but the crowd starts chanting his name]
- Triple H: 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: Well, I'll tell you, Rock...
- The Rock: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU HAD IN MIND!
- Triple H: [the audience cheers loudly] 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 would 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'm 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.
- [DX's entrance music hits, and Road Dogg, Mr. Ass, and X-Pac all run down to the ring and go to town on the Rock]
- Triple H: [as referees try to break the brawl up] Rock, I tried to give you a warning last week. I told you if you 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.
- The Rock: Seeing 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, 1,000 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.
- [the audience begins a "Rocky" chant]
- The Rock: 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 realizes you gave 15 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!
- [the audience cheers]
- The Rock: Now, speaking of monkey crap, Triple H...
- [the audience jeers]
- The Rock: 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 candy ass!
- Jim Ross: [after the Rock defeats DX in a 3-on-1 handicap match] Yes! The Rock did it! A miracle! Miracles do happen!
