Truth uncovered in WWF mishap

After months of investigation, the identity of the man who ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin last November at Survivor Series was finally uncovered. \nMonday night, the "Heart Break Kid," (HBK) Shawn Michaels was interviewed.\nAnaheim, Calif. was in for quite an interesting show. \n Mick Foley addressed the issue of who ran over "The Rattlesnake," and turned to Michaels. HBK was a prime suspect in the saga. Michaels said he did not run over Austin, but insinuated that The Rock did. HBK said nobody liked the spotlight as much as he did, except for maybe one person. When describing that person, he told Foley to "smell what I'm cooking," stating his obvious choice. \nI felt that Michaels was going to be the guilty one in this situation, as he has stated plenty of times that he would like to wrestle one more match. I believe that he will still receive a chance at this shot in an effort to bring back D-Generation X, perhaps by fighting Y2J, Chris Jericho.\nFoley then brought in the WWF chief executive officer Linda McMahon for questioning. She said it would be bad business to run over Austin, seeing as he produces so much money for the WWF. But she did say The Rock has sold more merchandise since Austin has been injured. I do not believe this is foreshadowing a return for Vince McMahon but shows how powerful Linda McMahon truly is.\nAlso, we found out that Triple H is going to face Chris Benoit at No Mercy. He teamed up with Jericho to face Benoit and X-Pac. Look for Triple H to destroy Benoit at the pay-per-view match.\nEddie Guerrero and Chyna were set to face Right to Censor But, the focus of this segment was not on the match. Instead, GTV made a triumphant return by showing Guerrero in the shower with two women. Chyna then let Guerrero get his butt kicked, and he sobbed like a two-year-old outside of the ring.\nAfter Guerrero was pummeled, Right to Censor went after Chyna. Bad Ass Billy Gunn then came out to help his former D-Xer from suffering any more pain. Perhaps we are going to have another "love" triangle.\nFoley continued on his search. He questioned Crash Holly, then Scotty Too Hotty. Scotty said at Survivor Series he was merely chilling back stage with Grand Masta Sexay and Rikishi.\nAfter the lackluster main event that featured The Rock and Rikishi against Kane and Kurt Angle, Foley came out to determine the guilty party. All evidence at this time seemed to point at The Rock. But Foley then stated that it was not The Rock, but Rikishi. \nIn a very confusing situation, Rikishi admitted that it was him, but it was done only to help The Rock. I still cannot believe it. The WWF had their best chance to turn The Rock into a heel, and they failed. This will no doubt build to be a feud between The Rock and Stone Cold.\nFoley put two and two together this week to find the culprit, but I am not sure that it added up to what the fans wanted.
