The pay-per-view took place on July 26, 1998 at the Selland Arena in Fresno, California. There are no countouts or disqualifications, and everything-and anything-is legal. You can only win by pinfall or submission. Triple H entered first, but Orton came from behind and nailed him with a lead pipe. With The Game knocked out, The Viper threw him in the ring and went for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! It didn't matter. For several minutes, Orton dominated, using anything he could find to win. A metal jar. A garbage can. A steel chair. Even a hot dog cart. The Legend Killer was just about to put on the finishing touches on his World Heavyweight Championship win. A punt to the head. But Triple H moved out of the way, and Orton's surgically-repaired knee crashed into the ring post. The Cerebral Assassin took control on The Viper's knee and used a barbed wire board to attack it. Triple H nearly choked out Orton before stopping. He needed something. His trusty sledgehammer! The same weapon used to strike The Legend Killer two days ago would now be used again. Orton avoided near-tragedy and hit a low blow. Once again, The Viper had taken control. He took the World Heavyweight Champion ringside and began to bloody him on the RAW announce table. Orton then got steel steps and nearly hit the Hangtime DDT on the steps off the table. But Triple H overpowered him and The Legend Killer's spine got the treatment instead. The King of Kings bashed Orton with a TV monitor, busting him open and returning the favor. The WWE Universe cheered as Triple H hit the Pedigree on the steps and went for the pin. ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! The Cerebral Assassin was sure it was over. He threw The Viper over the ropes and took him to the entrance ramp. With a kendostick in hand, Triple H nearly broke it after the velocity and frequency of those shots. Now, both men were on the stage. The Game slammed Orton through a car windshield and put him in the back of it. The car was there for decoration. There was also an orange car on the other side of the stage. The blue car was where Triple H and The Legend Killer were fighting. The King of Kings drove the car in reverse and it crashed into the set, causing an explosion. Triple H took a motionless Orton and threw him back in the ring, looking to hit the Pedigree. But The Viper hit a back bodydrop and a snap powerslam. He then hit the RKO. BAM! Orton was in that zone once more. That zone where you'll get your head kicked in if you disturb the peace. The Legend Killer had The Cerebral Assassin on his hit list. The hit list for a punt to the head. That is, when Edge ran in and hit the Spear. The Rated-R Superstar exited through the crowd and slapped hands as Triple H hit Orton in the head with the garbage can. He then put the can over The Viper's head, grabbed a new kendostick and channeled his inner Sammy Sosa. The Game swung for the fences and may have even hit a home run with that whack. Triple H then took the can off of Orton's head. He had something better. A Pedigree onto the can. BAM! The King of Kings made the cover. ONE! TWO! THREE! Triple H spoiled Randy Orton's return to the WWE, and retained the World Heavyweight Championship in the process. The Fresno crowd erupted like screaming banshees as The Cerebral Assassin posed. And that was one hell of a match. To see if Orton gets his revenge, the revelation of the masked man and his possible past with John Cena, and the evolution of The Undertaker, read my next story, SummerSlam 1998. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
