24) Backstage VINCE and DEBRA are both happy that she's managing again. REGAL is happy too. We cut to commercial.

25) ROCK/AUSTIN d. TRIPLE H/KURT ANGLE. VINCE MCMAHON stops by in the middle of our entrances to announce that DEBRA is now managing... THE ROCK! Rock is not happy about this and he tells Vince so. Austin is not happy about this and he grabs Vince by the shirt, but HHH jumps Austin from behind to start the match. Austin takes the advantage back and hits lots of right hands. H tags out to Angle and Angle gets pounded as well. Tag to the Rock and a huge running clothesline. Whip to the buckle and a Samoan drop gets two. Angle gets back with an eye rake and he tags H. Hunter kicks Rock in the corner, but Rock pounds his way back. High knee by H and he nails Austin on the apron for good measure. Rock with a right hand and he tags Austin back in hard. Thesz Press and a driving elbow drop on H, then he has H straddle the ringpost. Chop block on the injured knee, Stunner blocked and Austin is shoved into Angle, but HHH hits a low blow. Doubleteam by our heels and Kurt is going berserk. He's a modern-day Bob Backlund! Kicks and elbows galore, followed by an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. More right hands in the corner, Irish whip into the opposite corner but Austin fights back with right hands and a vertical suplex, blocked into an Angle suplex for a near fall. Tag to HHH and he pounds on Austin some, hitting right hands and a neckbreaker, but it only gets a two count. High knee drop for another near fall as Debra tries to rally her husband. Sleeper by HHH, Austin counters with a back suplex and they're both down. Tag to Angle who rushes Austin and gets a Stun Gun to the corner buckle. Hot tag to Rock who pounds my Olumpic Hero with right hands and a superquick DDT. Right hand for HHH, Rock Bottom on Angle for an apocalyptic pop, but the count is broken by H. Anklelock by Angle but Austin saves him and gives Angle a Stone Cold Stunner. Rock gets the cover. Debra cheers for the Rock which doesn't make Austin too happy. Nobody's happy... I guess nobody's REALLY happy. (Just kidding.) We're outta here.

OVERALL: A-. Much better than I expected, with superb effort by Heyman, who to my knowledge hasn't been an announcer since his last run with WCW almost ten years ago, and by pretty much everybody who was on. Nothing was super-bad and the main event was quite good.
