wrestling and although they didn't want him to stop, they understood. Foley
said that, in a perfect world, he would like to retire in the main event of
WrestleMania as the WWF Champion. After being asked the question, Foley
said he had no bitterness towards The Rock because he had to do and keep his
job. He added that his finest moment being in the WWF would probably be
when he returned as Cactus Jack and winning his first WWF Championship.

him, but he would not get very upset in front of his family, Jim Ross, and
the WWF viewers.

statement by saying that Chyna wanted his body. Chyna quickly attacked
Jericho, hit him with a DDT, and locked him in the ropes; Jericho then
quicked her over and hit his famous top rope dropkick. While The Kat was on
the apron, Chyna low blowed Jericho only to be countered with a bulldog and
a Jerichosault. The referee was then knocked out (as was Chyna) after a
spinning heel kick as Jericho missed a chair shot for a pedigree. The
referee was still drowsy, and by the time a new one got in the ring she only
got a two-count. Chyna was then suplexed onto a steel chair as one referee

• The Rock Interview.
- As The Rock was leaving, Michael Hayes screamed a question asking The Rock
if he felt responsible for Mick Foley's firing. The Rock then walked all
the way back to where Hayes was to explain that it was Triple H's fault for
signing the match and not his for winning it to keep his job. He then
called Tori a skitzo for even thinking that The Rock would like her as he
grabbed Hayes' shirt and yelled at him for even suggesting that he would get
a good man, who shed his blood, sweat, and tears, for wrestling fired.

• Triple H/X-Pac/Jesse James/Billy Gunn pinned Paul Wight
- In a non-title match, if X-Pac lost he would be fired from the Federation.

like a sack of potatoes. As Wight had X-Pac high in the air, Triple H added
that it was a handicap match. The Road Dogg ran down to fight as both men
took care of Wight. Wight then had both men in a chokeslam as Triple H
added that it was a three-an handicap match. Wight quickly splashed all
three men in one corner, however they quickly hit him with heel kicks and

buster as Triple H hit a pedigree for the pin.
