"Should you lose this match tonight"

[Vince McMahon guckt nach und nach den Mitgliedern von Team WWF in die Augen. Zuerst Big Show, dann Kane gefolgt von seinem Storyline-Bruder dem Undertaker. Als nächstes ist Chris Jericho zu sehen und schlussendlich sieht man einen auf- und abspringenden The Rock, der den größten Pop einfährt.]

Vince McMahon: ''Alright. Before you men go out there tonight. There are a few things I have to get off my chest. Firstly I have every confidence ... that Team WWF will be victorious here tonight ... every confidence in you. However, I'm a pragmatist and I realise ... I could be looking at a group ... of losers. And if that would have happen here tonight ... if you would lose this match tonight ... I would like for you to remember a number of things. There isn't one WWF fan anywhere in the world that would ever ... ever forgive you. Not one. SHOULD YOU LOSE this match tonight, each and every one of you ... would be personally and professionally disgraced. SHOULD YOU LOSE this match tonight ... then all of you and each one individually would justifiably be ridiculed by your own peers and your own family members. Should you lose this match tonight – then what does this say for those who have preseeded you. Those who have passed on yet their spirit still lives here in the World Wrestling Federation. Names like Buddy Rogers ... names like Dr. Jerry Graham ... names like Gorilla Monsoon [Jubel], Andre the Giant [McMahon guckt dabei dem Undertaker in die Augen. Auch hier gibt es Jubel.] ... HIGH CHIEF PETER MAIVIA! [The Rock in die Augen schauend.]

What would that say? Now collectively and individually you might be saying 'I know you've got something for us Mr. McMahon. I've been hearing you talk about how ... Stone Cold Steve Austin is gonna jump to the World Wrestling Federation tonight.' Well for the purposes of that notion ... I want you all to consider that notion total and complete utter BS. Because tonight - all of you – fight for the highest stakes you've ever fought for. It doesn't get any higher than fighting for survival ... and tonight each and every one of you will fight for survival. And you'll feel that acceleration that you can only feel by laying it all on the line. So tonight I've chosen each and every one of you. I've chosen you to participate in this survivor series elimination match-up. And by you joining this team – tonight you will honor the World Wrestling Federation. Now go out there – and do it.''
