At Rock Bottom 1998, the Corporation set out a dastardly plan to keep the WWF Championship on the Rock, who was storyline injured and needed certain assistance to thwart the dangerous lunatic Mankind, who had no quit in him whatsoever.

"The Corporate ribs are hurting," the Rock said backstage as the plan was put in place. What a fantastically, stupidly brilliant set of words to put together. The Rock was just inimitably brilliant, at least when he wasn't being horrendous. The plan was thus: having successfully manipulated Mick Foley under various guises throughout 1998, McMahon thought he could convince him to relinquish the contract given to him by Commissioner Shawn Michaels. The contract stated that Foley would win the WWF Title by default, were it not defended on the night. Hardly a babyface move, but elaborate show-long angles were more important than consistent character attributes during that time.

Midway through the show, Vince left "Mankind's" office with a sly grin on his face. The issue is that Mankind was actually spotted in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment down the corridor seconds later...

...with his opponent The Rock.

They were either laying out their match or enjoying a friendly catch-up.

"I just bought my cousin a house."

"I've worn the same belt for 24 years."
