## Findings
The first time she was kidnapped, she was found by Ken Shamrock on behalf of McMahon in
a basement of the stadium. The second time she was kidnapped, The Undertaker attempted
to marry her whilst she was forcefully tied to the Ministry's crucifix, but she was saved by
Steve Austin.
## Analysis
This angle saw a brief friendship develop between McMahon and Austin, cooling their long-
running feud. McMahon became a member of the short-lived stable The Union, during May
1999.
## Conclusion
McMahon's son Shane merged the corporation with The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness
to form the Corporate Ministry. On the June 7 episode of Raw Is War, McMahon was
revealed as the "Higher Power" behind the Corporate Ministry. This not only reignited
McMahon's feud with WWF Champion Austin but also caused a kayfabe disgusted Linda and
Stephanie McMahon to give their 50% share of the WWF to Austin. At King of the Ring,
Vince and Shane defeated Austin in a handicap ladder match to regain control of the WWF.
While CEO, Austin had scheduled a WWF Championship match, to be shown on Raw is War
after King Of The Ring.
## Discussion
During the match, Austin defeated The Undertaker once again to become the WWF
Champion. At Fully Loaded, Austin was again scheduled for a first blood match against The
Undertaker.
## Background
If Austin lost, he would be banned from wrestling for the WWF Championship again; if he
won, Vince McMahon would be banned from appearing on WWF television. Austin defeated
The Undertaker, and McMahon was banned from WWF television. McMahon returned as a
face in the fall of 1999 and won the WWF Championship in a match against Triple H, thanks
to outside interference from Austin on the September 16 SmackDown!. He vacated the title
on the following Monday's Raw is War because he was not allowed on WWF television
because of the stipulations of the Fully Loaded contract he signed. Austin reinstated him in
return for a WWF title shot.
## Findings
Over the next few months, McMahon and Triple H feuded, with the linchpin of the feud
being Triple H's storyline marriage to Stephanie McMahon. The feud culminated at
Armageddon in 1999; McMahon faced Triple H in a No Holds Barred match which McMahon
lost. Afterward, Stephanie turned on him, revealing her true colors.
## Analysis
McMahon, along with his son Shane, then disappeared from WWF television, unable to
accept the union between Triple H and Stephanie. This left Triple H and Stephanie in
complete control of the WWF. ==== McMahon-Helmsley Faction (2000–2001) ====
McMahon returned to WWF television on the March 13, 2000 Raw Is War helping The Rock
win his WWF title shot back from the Big Show.
## Conclusion (List)
- He also attacked Shane McMahon and Triple H. Two weeks later, McMahon and The Rock
defeated Shane McMahon and The Big Show in a tag team match with help from special
guest referee Mankind.
- At WrestleMania 2000 on April 2, Triple H defended the WWF Championship in a Fatal
Four-Way Elimination match in which each competitor had a McMahon in his corner.
- Triple H had his wife Stephanie McMahon who was also the WWF Women's Champion in
his corner, The Rock had Vince McMahon in his corner, Mick Foley had Linda McMahon in
his corner, and Big Show had Shane in his corner.
- After Big Show and Foley were eliminated, Triple H and The Rock were left.
## Discussion
Although Vince was in The Rock's corner, he turned on The Rock after hitting him with a
chair, turning heel for the first time since his feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin, which
helped Triple H win the match and retain his title. This began the McMahon-Helmsley Era.
At King of the Ring on June 25, McMahon, Shane, and WWF Champion Triple H took on The
Brothers of Destruction (The Undertaker and Kane) and The Rock in a six-man tag team
match for the WWF Championship. This match stipulated that whoever made the scoring
pinfall would become the WWF Champion.
## Background (List)
- McMahon was pinned by The Rock.
- McMahon was then absent from WWF television until late 2000.
- On the December 4 episode of Raw Is War, McMahon questioned the motives of WWF
Commissioner Mick Foley and expressed concern of the well-being of the six superstars
competing in the Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon on December 10.
## Findings (List)
- On the December 18 episode of Raw Is War, McMahon faced Kurt Angle in a non-title
match which was fought to no contest when Mick Foley interfered and attacked both men.
- After the match, both men beat Foley and McMahon fired him.
- McMahon then began a public extramarital affair with Trish Stratus, much to the disgust of
his daughter, Stephanie.
- On the February 26, 2001 episode of Raw, McMahon and Stephanie humiliated Trish by
dumping sewage on her, with McMahon adding that Stephanie will always be "daddy's little
girl" and Trish was only "daddy's little toy".
- McMahon and Stephanie then aligned together against Shane, who'd returned and had
