Shane took to the top turnbuckle and in trademark Shane ‘O Mac style, flew from the top rope and through the announce table at Stephanie quickly removed her father from it as Shane was in mid air. With Shane buried in the remains of the announce table, Trish Stratus appeared; walking a wheelchair bound Linda McMahon down the entrance ramp. As Trish wheeled Linda to the side of the ring, she went up to Vince as if to check if he was ok before winding up and slapping him across the face, triggering Stephanie to go to town on Trish, inevitably landing these two in cat fight in the centre of the ring. When Mick Foley intervened, in an attempt to end the brawl, at risk of turning this Street Fight into a ‘slapfest’ Stephanie belted Mick across the face causing both he and Miss Stratus to chase Stephanie back up the entrance ramp to the gorilla position.
As Vince rose to his feet, he looked Linda in the eyes, calling her a before Mick Foley would once again get involved, backing Vince up away from his wife and began pushing Linda’s wheelchair away from the ring. Vince didn’t take kindly to this and commandeered a steel chair which he hit Foley across the head with from behind before hitting him again, knocking him to the floor. To chants of “asshole” from the crowd, Vince grabbed Linda out of her wheelchair and rolled her into the ring, propping her up on a steel chair so that she was sitting in the corner of the ring, forced to watch Vince slam steel trash can after steel trash can in to Shane’s skull. As Vince prepared to hit Shane with the last trash can at his disposal with Shane getting to his knees after being almost unconscious on the mat, Linda rose from her seat in a conscious state, setting off a roar amongst the 60,000 strong Texans. Upon seeing this, Shane looked up at his father in a state of shock, pointing behind his old man as if to suggest that he should turn around and take a look at what’s going on. Vince turned around, only to be horrified that his thought-to-be sedated wife was now on her feet, staring him in the eye before she would take the liberty of kicking ‘ol Vinnie Mac right in his famous “grapefruits”.
Mick Foley then rolled into the ring, opening up a can of whoopass on Mr. McMahon, leaving him senseless in the corner of the ring. In a moment of glory and undoubtedly a ‘Wrestlemania moment’, Shane grabbed one of the unscathed trash cans laying the middle of the ring and propped it up against the chest of a semi-conscious, defenceless Vince before hobbling his way to the opposite turnbuckle and leaping to the top rope. As a hush came over the Houston crowd who were wondering what the hell Shane was gonna do, he made a ‘Van Terminator’-like leap of faith that would travel the entire distance of the ring, kicking the trash can that was hugged against Vince directly into the Chairman’s cold heart. Mick Foley came in for the three count and thus was the curtain call, at least for that night of what J.R. would call a McMahon “civil war”.
