That's what this triple threat cage match is for me. I was there in Hamilton, Ontario in September of 1998 to witness this battle as The Rock was gaining steam as a babyface. This was the period right after his classic at SummerSlam with Triple H and before his heel turn as he joined up with Vince McMahon at Survivor Series. The match was full of action. They didn't really do a lot of high spots because that's not the way the kind of wrestlers they were. It was more about having a physical brawl full of some exciting teases for the finish. All three guys were at about the same level of star power, so we really didn't know who was going to win. There was a very memorable spot as Mankind climbed the top of cage and went for the top rope elbow. He missed. I can still remember the pop when he hit the mat mainly because we wanted The Rock to win. Another thing I'll never forget is after Shamrock brought a chair in the ring, Mankind drilled him in the head with a chair. Rock crawled over for the pinfall win as Mankind climbed over the top for some reason. He was booked like an idiot while Rock was put over for being intelligent. In the end, The Rock found a way to get the win (he even bled a bit) and we were really happy about it even though we weren't that sure that we were supposed to be cheering. He was the coolest guy in the match. That's all we cared about at that point.
