10 Most Creative Ways Wrestlers Cheated To Win
5. A Grand Corporate Plan Comes To Fruition To Screw Mankind - The Rock, Survivor Series 1998
The once-hated 'Great One' had enjoyed a brief spell as 'The People's Champion' following a star-making display in his SummerSlam ladder match against Triple H, but he threw old bile back in audience faces in a magnificent reveal at the dramatic climax of the 1998 Survivor Series.
Having put the screws to Stone Cold Steve Austin earlier in the show, McMahon then re-enacted the most controversial moment in his personal and professional life in grandiose fashion. With puppet competitor locked in a hokey Sharpshooter, McMahon called for the bell to ring exactly as he had a year earlier in Montreal.
Revealing a ruse between the three, McMahon, son Shane and new WWE Champion The Rock sumptuously embraced, before turning their attack back on to the bewildered Foley.
"The People screwed The People", cackled Vince, before promising even more detail the following night on Raw. It was cheating good enough not only to pay off an incredible storyline, but kick off several ratings-winning new ones.
