Taking a #30 spot in the Royal Rumble, how manly is that bitch?

He covers Foley, 1........2.......Foley gets a shoulder up! Triple H picks the 2x4 back up and waits for Foley to get back to his feet. He nails it right across Foley's skull. He's now been busted open! He rolls out of the ring as the EMTs come rushing down again to the ring arena with a stretcher. They try and put Foley on the stretcher but Foley gives each of them right hand punches knocking them all to the floor. He then goes under the ring and pulls out a gray sack, which can only mean one thing! He slides back into the ring and swings the sack over Triple H's head, knocking him toward the ground. Triple H too now is a bloody mess and we're about to find out why. Mick Foley then drops thousands of thumbtacks in the middle of the ring!!!! He pulls Triple H back to his feet but is treated to a low blow. Triple H then locks his arms setting him up for you know what. THE PEDIGREE INTO THE THUMBTACKS!!!!!!!! He covers him, 1.....2.....3!!!!
