For the WWF, WCW has shown No Mercy in ruthlessly attacking and doing everything in there power to destroy the WWF which has included kidnapping of wrestlers wives. Taking titles and if not most importantly taking the WWF’s crown jewel the WWF Championship away from Stone Cold Steve Austin. The WWF however refuses to go down in a fight for survival as Stone Cold and a unlikely challenger seek to bring the WWF Title back home to the WWF against Sting and another contender who causes tension within WCW. The Rock now must face another former WCW World Champion in a clash of “People’s Champions”. The only thing for sure is there will be No Mercy as the war for dominance rages on.
