The Rock vs. Ken Shamrock
November 2, 1998
Match Objectives
- Get Shamrock’s damage to moderate
Historical Bonus Objectives
- Get Shamrock’s damage to moderate in 2 minutes
Match Strategy
This match is all about getting Shamrock’s damage to critical so that he can get disqualified for hitting you with a chair.
Objective: Get Shamrock’s damage to moderate in 2 minutes
Hit Shamrock with big grapples and strikes. Your best bet is to mix in some Hammer Throws to toss him out of the ring. This will give you time to execute The Rock’s longer-than-average taunts and build up momentum.
Hit the Signature Move Spinebuster.
Follow up with the Rock Bottom Finisher. This will probably leave Shamrock in a critical damage state.
Do your best to survive Shamrock’s Leverage Pin attempts, and eventually he’ll get a chair and blast The Rock with it to get disqualified.

Objective: Perform the Rock Bottom on Mark Henry
Objective: Perform the People’s Elbow on Mark Henry
Objective: Win the match in 4 minutes
Use your speed to own Mark Henry. Running grapples and strikes will keep you at distance, and you can Irish whip him out of the ring to buy time for taunts. When he comes back into the ring, hit him with the Rock Bottom. Taunt again to build momentum and—when you have a Finisher—follow up with a running grapple and the People’s Elbow.
Settle in for the pin and win.

When the WWE Attitude Moment hits, The Rock intercepts the pass to Shamrock.

Whip Kane toward the ropes when Paul Bearer is on the apron and Bearer will yank down the top rope to send Kane tumbling over the top. Taunt when Kane is ringside. Bearer will also whip Kane back into the ring so that Kane winds up on his back and vulnerable.
It might take a few run-throughs to get enough damage tallied on Kane, but the Tombstone Piledriver will help you get there for sure.
