- Christian: Chris Benoit, you have no idea how so very proud we are of you.
- Edge: On Monday night, you totally reeked of awesomeness. And more than being a former Intercontinental champion, and more than being the greatest technical wrestler in the history of the World Wrestling Federation, you, my friend, are a fellow Canadian.
- Christian: And it fills our hearts with Maple Leaf pride to see a Canadian that kicks as much ass as you. And besides all that, the Crossface rules!
- Commissioner Mick Foley: Whoa.
- Christian: Now, Mick, sorry if we seem a little winded today, but that's 'cause we're tired from carrying around our World Wrestling Federation tag-team titles all day after successfully retaining them against the Undertaker and Kane on Monday night. Nice try, though.
- Edge: And since we're the WWF tag team champions, it's only fitting that this man...
- [indicating Benoit]
- Edge: ...be *the* WWF champion.
- Commissioner Mick Foley: Now, uh, I like Canada, too, but, uh, when I got out of my car today, I noticed it was a little hot, and I realized we're not in Canada tonight, are we, boys?
- [the crowd cheers]
- Commissioner Mick Foley: No, we're in Fort Lauderdale, Florida!
- [the crowd cheers louder]
- Commissioner Mick Foley: And you two boys have just opened up my eyes. You see, I can tell the three of you need to spend a little more quality Canadian time together, and I can tell that Chris Benoit deserves... no, no, I can tell that the Rock deserves a piece of you! So what I'm going to do is very simple. We're going to have ourselves tonight, in this very ring, a friendly six-man tag team contest, pitting you three Canadian gentlemen against... Eddie Guerrero, the Ninth Wonder of the World, Chyna... and the People's Champion, the Rock!
- Chris Jericho: Kirk Angel, you want to talk about apologies, I've got some apologies to make myself. First of all, I want to apologize to all of the Jerichoholics...
- [the crowd cheers]
- Chris Jericho: ...for having to listen to another one of your boring, long-winded speeches. Secondly, I want to apologize to Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley...
- [the crowd jeers]
- Chris Jericho: Actually, I don't want to apologize to her. But she is a filthy, dirty, disgusting, brutal, bottom-feeding, trash-bag tramp. And lastly, I want to apologize to Triple H for putting him through a table last week on "SmackDown!". To be honest, I really, really enjoyed it, and I hope you've picked the splinters out of your ass, jerky, because I can't wait to do it again!
- Commissioner Mick Foley: For about an hour and 55 minutes on Monday night, I had myself a tremendous time. I think we all did, and then things kinda went downhill from there. And I will take partial responsibility for some of the decisions I made, but I will not take it all. Because there are two gentlemen who also deserve some blame, that being Shane McMahon...
- [the crowd jeers]
- Commissioner Mick Foley: ...and Chris Benoit.
- [the crowd jeers again]
- Commissioner Mick Foley: And I am dying for either one of these two to come down here into this ring and explain themselves to me. I am dying to hear an explanation! Who's got the guts?
- [Benoit's music hits, and he comes out to join Mick in the ring]
- Commissioner Mick Foley: Chris, let me speak first. I want to make you aware, because I'm not sure that you know how Chyna spent the three hours before "Raw", are you? Well, I'm going to tell you how. She spent three hours before "Raw" with my six-year-old little girl, doing her hair, putting on makeup, playing with little dolls. I genuinely like Chyna, not because she's the Ninth Wonder of the World, but because she's a good person, because she's a funny person, and because she's my friend. And then, Chris, you did this to her. Take a look! Take a look, Chris! Because you did this.
- [a clip from "Raw" is shown]
- Commissioner Mick Foley: Chyna comes from behind, and I know you felt it, didn't you, Chris? Now she's down. Now she's down, and what do you do? You do what you always do, you take advantage. Down goes Eddie Guerrero, and now you take a helpless woman...
- [in the clip, Benoit puts Chyna in his Crippler Crossface submission hold]
- Commissioner Mick Foley: ...and you torture her! She went from playing with my little girl to having her neck stretched, her shoulder torn, and I'm telling you right now as we stand here in this ring, Chris, that that sick little smile on your face, I'm telling you, Chris, that you make me sick! So if you've got an explanation, I'd like to hear it! I guess not. So then let's take a look at your little fun later on in the show after I booked a tremendous main event.
- [another clip is shown in which Benoit attacks the Rock with a steel chair]
- Commissioner Mick Foley: Let's take another look. Here's the Rock laying the smackdown, he's got him dead to rights, People's Elbow, and from behind, not like a man, Chris, but from behind, time and again as hard as you could, you brought it down upon the Rock. And then when he lays helpless, watch again. The Crippler Crossface as your little buddy lays in some boots. And you're proud of yourself, aren't you, Chris? And the same sick little smile. And I look at you, Benoit, as I stand here face to face, and you know what I see? I see one of the damn best wrestlers I've ever seen in my entire life. But there are certain things, Chris Benoit, that I do not see when I look at those dead eyes. I do not see an ounce of remorse, I do not see compassion, and I sure as hell don't see a sense of humor. So, Chris Benoit, I think I speak for everybody when I ask this one simple question: *WHY?* Why, Chris, why? I wanna know!
- Chris Benoit: You don't see any remorse...
- [the crowd begins a "Benoit sucks" chant]
- Chris Benoit: You don't see any remorse because I don't have any. You don't see any compassion because I have none. I don't need a sense of humor. I sure as hell don't have to explain myself to you or anyone else. I'm the greatest technical wrestler in the world today, as well as the greatest technical wrestler in the history of the WWF. That is the way it is. Prove me wrong! And if you don't like it, that's just too damn bad. You see, I only have thing on my mind right now, and that's WWF gold. And I'll go through anyone or anything that stands in my way. If you really want to find out why I did what I did, I suggest you put me in a title fight tonight against the man who calls himself the People's Champion.
- [the crowd cheers]
- Chris Benoit: Against the man who calls himself the WWF champion. Against the man who calls himself the Rock. And my actions will speak louder than words.
- Triple H: I want Jericho, and I want him tonight. And I tell you what, if you don't make it, she's a McMahon still, we'll just make it ourselves.
- Commissioner Mick Foley: I guess you don't understand. Uh, with Daddy away being the genetic jackhammer in Greenwich, as disgusting as that might sound, Linda McMahon has bestowed her authority upon me, which means I make the matches, not you, and your days of screwing around with people are pretty much through.
- Triple H: I tell you what, though. How about I just beat your ass 'til you give me the match?
- Commissioner Mick Foley: You wanna take me out?
- Triple H: Oh, yeah.
- Commissioner Mick Foley: Go ahead. Each punch will cost you five grand.
- Triple H: Each punch, five grand?
- Commissioner Mick Foley: Five grand a punch.
- Triple H: Steph, get my wallet. This is gonna be expensive.
- Commissioner Mick Foley: Go ahead, Triple H. And when I get up, it won't just be your wallet I hurt, it'll be your pride. You understand me? I watch you on our shows because you *are* that damn good! And I want that match with Jericho at Fully Loaded because it will be that damn good! But as good as you are, as much as I want you, I do not *need* you! You are not bigger than the WWF, and you're not bigger than me! You take one punch, and when I get up, I'll make damn sure your days of main-eventing are over, you understand me? I will book you at every circus and sideshow in this country, I will book you in gymnasiums. Nobody will know who you are.
- Triple H: I want Jericho's ass.
- Commissioner Mick Foley: I'll give you Jericho on Monday, under one condition. I'm gonna book you in a handicap elimination match. You win, you get Jericho on Monday; you don't, you wait 'til Fully Loaded. Got me?
- Triple H: Yeah, I got you. If you're screwing with me, Foley, I will get every penny's worth out of my money. Understand me?
- Commissioner Mick Foley: Until then, Triple H, get the hell out of my office.
- The Rock: Chris Benoit, last Monday night, when you hit the Rock in the back with a chair, when you locked in the Crippler Crossface and wouldn't let it go, you thought you stepped up to the plate, you thought you stepped into the big leagues. But the fact of the matter is this, Chris Benoit, is you have no idea of the world you stepped into. You see, Benoit, you run your mouth about how you're a great wrestler. Well, trust the Rock, tonight, if the Rock gets a hold of you... no! *When* the Rock gets a hold of you, he's not gonna put you in an armbar, a candy bar, a monkey bar, a topless bar, oh, it doesn't matter what type of bar it is! You see, Chris Benoit, you run your mouth about how you are the greatest technical wrestler in the history of the WWF. Well, technically, you more than get the job done. Technically, the Crippler Crossface hurts like hell. But after tonight, when it's all said and done, technically, the Rock is just gonna whip your candy ass all over Fort Lauderdale!
