[Cole] Following the apparent reunion of D-Generation X
this past Monday night on Raw,
we welcome you to WWE SmackDown on UPN.
Hello, everybody. Michael Cole, Jerry "The King" Lawler at ringside.
We are sold out.
It's the hottest ticket in town,
and what an electric night it's gonna be.
[Lawler] Unbelievable, Michael. Wow.
[crowd cheering]
[voice over speakers] Are you ready?

-[Lawler] Yes! -[crowd cheering]
It shocked the world this past Monday night on Raw
when DX reunited.
There they are. Look at them, Michael. [cackles]
[Cole] It was the reunion of the most controversial group
in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment, King,
and it's gonna be interesting to see the reaction of Triple H,
"Badd Ass" Billy Gunn, X-Pac, and Road Dogg
to what they did to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
and to The Rock this past week.
[announcer] Mr. Ass, the Road Dogg, X-Pac,
and the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
Triple H, D-Generation X!
[Lawler] What was great was the fact
that DX outsmarted the Rattlesnake this past Monday.
It was terrific. I love it.
[Cole] It was appalling, an appalling reunion of DX.
The New Age Outlaws
taking on The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
in tag team action.
But it was obviously a trick.
It was a setup perpetrated, I'm sure, by the champion, Triple H.
[Lawler] It was a beautiful setup, a perfect plan.
How can you say this wonderful reunion is appalling?
It's great to see good friends get back together again,
especially DX.
In case the world has forgotten,
and I know you haven't,
let me remind you just who in the hell we are.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler chortles] Oh, we know.
We are D-Generation X.
[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] The most powerful entity in the… -We do what we want,
when we want to do it.
-[Lawler] Yeah! -We make the rules
and we damn sure break 'em.
[crowd cheering]
The WWE, as of this moment, is on notice
because DX is back.
[crowd cheering]
We will leave no stone…
unturned.
[Lawler] No Cold Stone.
We will leave no Rock…
unpulverized.
[Lawler] No People's Rock.
[crowd cheering, booing]
Austin, Rock,
if the two of you are lucky enough to make it to Survivor Series,
you will step into the ring with the top dog,
the CEO of D-Generation X, the game.
And let me remind you,
I am the WWE Champion.
[crowd chanting] Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!
[chanting continues] Asshole! Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!
And whether you like it or not,
when Survivor Series is done,
I will walk out
still the WWE Champion.
[crowd booing]
D-Generation X,
we are here for one reason and one reason only,
and that is to run this show.
-[crowd cheering, booing] -[Lawler cackles]
Sounds like a hostile takeover.
You just said it, Triple H, and I'll say it again,
D-Generation X is back on top!
[crowd cheering, booing]
[Lawler] Back on top, Michael Cole! What do ya got to say about that?
And what you're looking at…
is the strongest force
in World Wrestling Entertainment today.
[Lawler] Ever.
But we can always get bigger.
And I've just got a feeling that, tonight,
you people are gonna see a new member.
-[Cole] What? -[crowd shouting]
-[Cole] What's he talking about? -[Lawler] DX is gonna get bigger!
-[Lawler] Ha! -Now, to a little business.
You see, last Monday night,
I got a little taste of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and I liked it.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
So tonight, what I think I'll do
is I'll have my boys sit front row
so they have a bird's-eye view
of when Mr. Ass kicks "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's ass
-tonight on SmackDown. -[Lawler] Whoa!
[Cole] What a challenge by "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn.
He's challenging the Rattlesnake.
-[Lawler] Gonna kick his-- -Now…
since that A-double-crooked-letter got you all in such a jovial mood,
let me lay a little smackdown for ya.
-[crowd cheering] -[Cole] Uh-oh.
Rock, the other night,
I left you in a puddle of your own talentless puke.
So tonight, I want you to bring the People's [bleep]
right down the People's Ramp,
step into the Dogg House,
and I've got but one fear.
You see, I know how much you like shining things up
and sticking them up people's ass,
and I know you know how I do my finish.
And I'm afraid you just might like it
when I flatten you on your back. Uno, dos, tres, [bleep].
[Cole] The Road Dogg has challenged The Rock.
Billy Gunn has challenged Stone Cold.
-[Lawler] What a night this is gonna be. -Now, I've told the world,
but there's one person I want to tell directly face-to-face.
[Cole] Uh-oh.
Vince, get your ass out here
-and bow to the masters. -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] DX is calling out Vince McMahon.
[Cole] I'll tell you, King, DX is feeling its oats here on SmackDown.
Don't make me wait, punk. Now.
[Cole] What in the world is DX up to?
Calling out the chairman of this company, Vince McMahon,
and, well, we're gonna find out right away.
["No Chance in Hell" plays]
[Cole] An explosive start to SmackDown, folks.
D-Generation X is back.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Oh, there's Vince McMahon.
This ain't no game that the game is playing here.
This is gonna be good.
[crowd cheering]
I want you to look at me dead in my eye, Vince,
because I know damn well you know who we are.
I know damn well you know what we do and what we can do.
Vince, this is game, set, and match.
We just pulled your punk card,
and right now DX is putting you on notice.
Vince, your services here in World Wrestling Entertainment
are no longer needed.
[Lawler and Cole] What?
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
Because DX is, right now,
officially taking over.
Vince, from now on,
we will make the rules,
we will make the laws.
Because, Vince,
I got the boys and I got the cards to do it.
So, Vince, listen close,
take a hike, because you're finished.
-[Lawler] Wow. -[Cole] I can't believe this.
[Lawler] Well, let's face it. DX does have the power right now.
Don't know if they got that much power though. Triple-H--
On behalf of the fans in Springfield, Massachusetts…
[crowd cheering]
…on behalf of WWE fans all over the world…
[Lawler] Uh-oh, he's getting that walk.
…we got two words for ya…
-[with audience] Suck it! -[Lawler] What?
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler cackles]
Now, Vince, as always,
I knew you'd have a little comeback for me.
And as always,
I am one step ahead of you.
Because, Vince, we have got three words for you.
We're taking over.
["Are You Ready?" plays]
[Cole] Triple H and D-Generation X are back
and they put Vince McMahon on notice.
Triple H's DX is taking over World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Lawler] I'll tell you one thing,
looks like the battle lines have been drawn,
the ultimate chess match has begun.
This is gonna be great!
[Cole] Could they be prophetic words by Triple H?
Perhaps the most controversial group in the history of WWE,
-DX is back together again. What a night. -Road Dogg has challenged The Rock.
Mr. Ass has challenged Austin.
[Cole] King, we have a camera positioned in the parking garage
and as soon as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin or The Rock arrive,
we'll let you know about it.
Edge and Christian on their way out here. They got a big matchup coming up.
Edge and Christian on Monday came within a hair of winning the tag titles.
[narrator] And now, JVC Kaboom Box,
the portable music system with dual subwoofers
and 52 watts of ring-shaking power, presents the JVC Kaboom of the Week.
There's Shane!
There's Shane McMahon.
-What's he doing? -What is Shane McMahon doing?
Look at that.
-My God! My God! My God! -[crowd cheering]
Off the top.
Shane would do anything for his sister.
Absolutely unbelievable.
[narrator] That was the JVC Kaboom of the Week,
presented by the ultimate head-banging music machine,
the JVC Kaboom Box. So loud it hurts.
[Cole] We're back on SmackDown.
King, look at this, Test and Stephanie, hand-in-hand.
-[Lawler] Oh, come on. Don't tell me… -Hey!
-[Cole] And Patterson and Brisco. -[chattering]
So glad to see you, darling.
-Thank you so much. -Very.
[overlapping chatter]
-["Slow Death" plays] -[Lawler] Guess you think that's great
that she's getting her memory back and remembers her feelings for Test.
I just hope she… I just hope she realizes what a loser he is.
[Cole] Well, we understand their relationship getting back on solid ground.
[Lawler] The quicker she can forget Patterson and Brisco,
-the better off Stephanie'll be. -Their opponents,
Tag Team Champions Crash and Hardcore Holly.
[Cole] The Hollys are on their way out.
I have no idea why, but we can tell you
they defended the tag titles, King, on Raw Monday night
against Edge and Christian until Too Cool spoiled the party.
-[Lawler] Oh, Too Cool. -[bell ringing]
I knew I recognized those guys when they got there.
One was Scott Taylor. I didn't quite know the other one.
But then all of a sudden The Hardy Boyz showed up.
You talk about spoiling a party. And, wait--
[Cole] Well, the Hollys are joining us here at ringside obviously.
-[Lawler] What's up, Hardcore? -What do you say, Jerry Lawler?
[Lawler] Have a seat there, Crash. Look at those titles.
-Oh, look at the gold. We got the gold. -Hey, we got the champions with us.
-[Cole] Great. -[crowd cheering]
["You Think You Know Me" plays]
[Cole] And here comes the team
who almost defeated the champs on Monday night.
[Hardcore] Michael Cole, that's where you're wrong, I'm sorry to say.
I think you got your stories mixed up.
[Lawler] You guys had everything under control, didn't you?
[Hardcore] Oh, we were in total control
because that's why we are the WWE Tag Team champions.
[Lawler] And possibly the greatest Tag Team champions this company has ever seen.
[Hardcore] Jerry, you know we are. I'm telling you.
[Cole] And there you see Edge and Christian, action personified,
who came within a hair on Raw Monday night of winning the Tag Team titles.
[Lawler] First of all, these guys aren't even Super Heavyweights,
so they're not in the same class as the Hollys.
[Cole] The bottom line, King, is this duo here had the Hollys defeated
if it wasn't for Too Cool, Taylor and Christopher.
[Hardcore] They didn't have us defeated.
We beat them single-handedly. I don't know what you're thinking about.
[Lawler] First of all, Michael, do you realize you're sitting within arm's reach
of this Super Heavyweight Tag Team Champion right here?
He might just reach across and slap the taste out of your mouth.
-I'll give you a Super Heavyweight slap. -There you go.
Michael Cole's a wannabe. He wants to be a Super Heavyweight too.
[Lawler] You know who's fixing to embarrass these guys?
-Too Cool. -And their opponents,
-at a combined weight of 438 pounds… -They wanna be Super Heavyweights, flat.
They're wannabes is all it is.
They're so small, I can barely hear their voices.
Didn't know if they were talking to you guys or not.
-…Too Cool. -[Hardcore] I don't think they were.
[Cole] So it's Edge and Christian against Too Cool,
and what a night, folks, it's been already on SmackDown.
The Road Dogg has challenged the Rock,
Billy Gunn has challenged "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
And, King, the ultimate game of chess is on,
DX versus Vince McMahon.
[Lawler] I don't know if it's gonna be a game of chess or not.
It's gonna be a game, all right. Look at Too Cool.
[Hardcore] You know what, Jerry, I like these guys. These guys are beyond cool.
Hey, Cole, you better get our names right or I'll… [inaudible]
-Yeah, Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor. -No, no, no, no, no.
He means call them Too Cool, not Too Much.
You referred to 'em as Too Much once.
[Hardcore] These guys got all the qualifications to be a Super Heavyweight.
Look at 'em, they're huge. Wow.
[Cole] They have a Super Heavyweight attitude,
as Edge and Christian now go to work on Too Cool.
This should be a tremendous Tag Team matchup, folks.
Another great Tag Team matchup coming up a little bit later on.
-King, listen to this. -What?
[Cole] The Hardys, they're preparing for a matchup.
They have challenged Viscera and Mark Henry here on SmackDown tonight,
The Hardy Boyz.
[Hardcore] You know, The Hardy Boyz don't belong in a wrestling ring.
They belong in a circus the way they fly around.
[Cole] Look at this. Scott Taylor takes the tag from Brian Christopher.
Edge missed it, slides underneath here.
And Taylor and Christopher, nice double team.
Edge lands on his feet.
And the showboat might have cost Too Cool.
[Lawler] Oh no.
[Hardcore] Edge ain't nothing but a long-haired broom handle's all he is.
[Cole] And here comes Christian now, Edge's brother,
and the double team by Edge and Christian again.
And Christopher hits the turnbuckle hard.
[Lawler] What do you think those guys weigh, Edge and Christian?
-Nowhere near your guys' class. -[Hardcore] Buck and a quarter maybe.
-[Cole] Wow. -[Hardcore] Hey, Christian--
I don't know if anybody knows this,
but he does wrap his legs in ACE bandages
to make 'em look better because he wants to be a Super Heavyweight.
[Lawler] Well, look at Edge. I mean, how skinny is he?
If you put a nickel on his head, he'd look like a nail.
[Hardcore] If they were so great, why don't they have the WWE tag team belt?
[Cole] Because Too Cool saved you guys on Monday night on Raw, plain and simple.
[Hardcore] Don't know what you're thinking.
[Cole] Oh man, Christian got hung up on the top rope.
-Pretty cool. -They didn't save us.
We had everything under control.
-[Cole] Yeah, okay. -We're Super Heavyweights, we're good.
[Lawler] Great, you're great.
[Cole] What in the world is Scott Taylor doing here?
I guess you'd call that the worm. That went out about five years ago.
And Taylor with a right hand now.
[Hardcore] That's a Super Heavyweight worm.
[Lawler] That is cool.
And look at that cool tag.
[Cole] And Brian Christopher now, and Christian in trouble here.
Now he battles back with the right hands.
[Lawler] You told me a while ago
that The Hardy Boyz are challenging Viscera and Mark Henry?
[Cole] Right.
[Lawler] My gosh, I hope Terri Runnels doesn't wind up…
[Cole] Oh man.
[Lawler] …getting splashed like those hoes Monday night.
[Cole] That was horrible, appalling, King.
And look at this.
-[Lawler] That's not horrible. -[Cole] Too Sexy Brian Christopher.
[Lawler] That's a good thing.
-[Hardcore] Michael? -[Cole] Yes?
[Hardcore] Didn't we prove to the whole world
and didn't we say what we said we were gonna do?
[Cole] Look at this now. What a maneuver by Christopher.
Christian, man, his head
-and his back bouncing off that… -That was nice.
[Lawler] That was Too Cool right there.
[Hardcore] Gotta applaud him. That was good.
[Cole] All right, instead of taking advantage--
And, King, when did you join the Too Cool, Hardcore Holly Cheerleading Corp?
[Lawler] I've been telling you these guys are all great.
[Cole] Let's take another look at this here. And the King's kin--
I mean, Brian Christopher with a tremendous maneuver.
[Lawler] What did you say? You better watch your mouth.
I've told you before there's only one set of the King's DNA.
[Cole] And there's Scott Taylor now.
Hardcore and Crash, I'm not taking anything away from you guys.
You guys are the champions. You are a great team.
But Edge and Christian should be the title holders tonight on SmackDown.
What a double team.
[Lawler] Edge and Christian aren't even gonna get past Too Cool, are they?
[Hardcore] No, they can't beat Too Cool.
[Cole] If Too Cool would stop dancing around, they might win this matchup.
First of all, Edge and Christian are doing nothing but dreaming right now
-because they think they should be the-- -How big is your arm?
-It's huge. -That's Super Heavyweight, baby.
[Cole] Oh my, Christian really needs to make a tag here.
Too Cool isolating Christian from his partner Edge.
[crowd chatter]
[Lawler] You could put Edge and Christian on a scale at the same time
and they wouldn't close to be… come close to being Super Heavyweights.
[Cole] Christian now, Christopher in trouble, Christian, second rope.
Look at this. Tornado. Caught him.
And Christopher's in trouble.
-Can Christian make the tag? -[Lawler] That was a cheat.
-[Hardcore] That was a cheap shot. -[Cole] Cheap shot? It was a great move.
Christopher trying to get to the corner now,
and here comes Scott Too Hot Taylor.
And here comes Edge as well.
And Edge with the right hand.
Taylor down, Christopher down.
And Edge now, spinning heel kick caught him to the face.
And Edge and Christian now with the momentum in this matchup.
-Taylor now, second rope, nobody home. -[Lawler] Watch it.
[Cole] Taylor trying to get his balance, gonna pay for it,
lands on his feet, Edge spear.
What a spear, hooks the leg, cover now, and Christopher with the save after two.
[Lawler] That was cool.
-[Cole] Should've been over there. -[Hardcore] Good move.
[Lawler] Look out.
[Cole] Christian in the ring, all four men in the ring,
Christopher knocked over the top rope.
[Lawler] Are you guys impressed by Edge and Christian?
-Wait a minute. -Do what you gotta do, buddy.
-What's Crash doing? -[Cole] What do you mean? Wait a minute.
What the hell is he doing?
-Come on now. -[Lawler] Oh!
[Cole] Crash with the damn scale to the face of Edge.
-Didn't see anything. -Neither did the referee.
His back was turned.
Here's the cover now.
-And Taylor and Christopher get the win. -[Hardcore] I got work to do, guys.
-Jerry Lawler, it was a pleasure. -[Lawler] Thank you.
-[Cole] Crash just hit Holly. -[bell ringing]
-[Lawler] Business to take care of. -[Cole] Look at this now.
The Hollys, it's a four-on-two.
The Hollys and Too Cool taking on Edge and Christian.
Crash Holly just hit Edge in the face with that scale
as the referee's back was turned.
[Lawler] Edge and Christian get a little bit of what they deserve--
-Oh, watch these scales. -[Cole] Yeah.
Look at this.
-The four-on-two continues. -[Lawler] Oh man.
[Cole] Oh no, not this.
Oh man.
-[Lawler] That was cool. -[Cole] That was cool all right.
-[crowd chatter] -[Lawler laughs]
Look at all these referees having to try to
come to the aid of Edge and Christian.
[Cole] Well, Too Cool picks up the victory over Edge and Christian,
thanks to that scale there.
Crash hitting Edge in the face.
-[Lawler] You hallucinating again? -[Cole] Hallucinating?
-[Lawler] That herbal tea getting to you? -[Cole] You saw it, plain as day.
["Slow Death" plays]
-Yeah. -[Lawler] I see that Brian Christopher
and Scott Taylor are Too Cool.
[Cole] Well, King, we've got a camera positioned in the back.
And as soon as The Rock and/or "Stone Cold" Steve Austin show up,
we'll let you know about it.
[Lawler] I'll tell ya, I'm gonna have to get in touch with my sources,
find out where The Rock is.
[Cole] King, you don't need your sources to tell you
it's been a rough week for The Big Show.
Psychological games continued
at the hands of the Boss Man on Raw Monday.
Boss Man showed up with a Big Show family heirloom,
the Show's dad's watch,
after knocking Show out with a hammer.
Boss Man then went on to destroy the family heirloom.
Well, earlier today, Jim Ross caught up with The Big Show.
Big Show, what are you going to do about the Boss Man?
Uh…
I'm gonna leave, J.R.
I think that's the best thing I can do is leave, you know? Um…
[chuckles]
I'm gonna leave because I know when I see him,
I'm probably gonna do something I'm gonna regret the rest of my life.
Excuse me.
-[Cole] We're back… That's Mark Henry. -Okay, girls.
-Thanks a lot. -[Lawler] What's he doing?
Come on, girls, let's go.
-Goodbye, Mark. -Bye.
-[Lawler] What in the world? -Bye, Mark.
-[Cole] Oh my. -[Lawler] Oh my gosh.
-[woman giggles] -[sighs]
-[Lawler] What in… -All right, round two.
-Hi. I'm Angel. -What's up, Angel?
-Hi, I'm Strawberry. -Oh, I'll be there with whipped cream.
[Lawler] He's got a healthy appetite, but this is getting ridiculous.
They was two of the skankiest hoes I've ever seen.
-[Cole] Oh man. -[Lawler] Hey, let me just tell you this.
-[Cole] What? -[Lawler] My sources tell me…
These are unconfirmed reports, but The Rock is gonna arrive very shortly.
And when he gets here, he's not gonna be happy,
-I can assure you. -[Cole] Your sources?
-[Lawler] Yeah. -[crowd cheering]
-["Break the Walls Down" plays] -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[crowd cheering]
[effects popping]
-[Lawler] Whoa. -[Cole] My sources are telling me this:
Y2J has arrived.
Chris Jericho in the house here on SmackDown.
So you're saying your sources, unconfirmed,
that The Rock is on his way here?
[Lawler] Yeah, don't make fun of my sources. These are legit sources.
I got sources, you know.
[Cole] Road Dogg has challenged The Rock tonight,
but what about the challenge laid out by "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn?
Billy Gunn challenging the Rattlesnake, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, here tonight.
[Lawler] I don't know much about the Rattlesnake or when he'll arrive,
but as I've said, my sources tell me The Rock will be here shortly.
[announcer] Making his way to the ring, from Winnipeg, Canada,
weighing in at 227 pounds, Chris Jericho.
[Cole] You know, we may be looking at the next Intercontinental Champion here,
Chris Jericho, or else that's what he wants us to believe.
[Lawler] I would think that's a good possibility.

When I walked into this arena today…
[intermittent cheering, booing]
…one of my loyal Jerichoholics
informed me
that Stevie Richards had challenged me to a match.
Stevie Richards.
-[Cole] Wow. -Well, Stevie,
the way I see it,
you had the chance of a lifetime on Monday
when I allowed you to be my tag team partner,
and I was absolutely destroying
both D'Lo Brown and that…
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -…girl, Chyna.
And I would've pinned them both at the same time
if you hadn't tagged yourself in and completely spoiled everything.
[Lawler] He's right. Chyna's just a girl. You know that, Michael.
-[Cole] She's Intercontinental Champion. -Stevie, I know
you're trying to make a name for yourself
by coming out and imitating
some of the more untalented, unentertaining WWE performers.
But, Stevie, you will never…
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
…ever have the talent
or the charisma of Y2J.
So, get out here, Jerky,
because I am going to beat the hell out of you.
[Lawler] He's challenging Stevie Richards.
-["Who I Am" plays] -[Cole] Hey, wait a minute.
This isn't…
-Whoa, that's not Stevie Richards' music. -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[Cole] That's the music of the Intercontinental Champion.
[Lawler] I think Y2J has called Chyna a girl one time too many.
[Cole] The ninth Wonder of the World, Chyna.
In recent weeks, she's had it up to here with Chris Jericho,
and I'll tell you what, folks,
this is gonna be a war here on SmackDown.
Wait a minute.
Wait, is that man-- That's-- Wait.
Something smells awfully fishy here.
[Lawler] No, something does smell fishy. That's not Chyna.
[Cole] That's Stevie Richards.
-Oh, come on. -[Lawler] Stevie Richards as…
Oh, wait, wait, give me that shot again.
-[Cole] You know, Stevie Richards, King… -[Lawler] Look at this.
[Cole] Jericho now from behind and Richards knocked off the apron
as Chris Jericho gonna waste little time
getting it on here with Stevie Richards.
[Lawler] Gonna tell you something. He's already knocked the wig
off of that idiot's head. Speaking of heads,
I think failure has gone to Stevie Richard's head.
[Cole] You know, Stevie Richards just trying to desperately fit in.
He's just trying to be accepted,
as Jericho now with the nice suplex outside the ring
and Richards in trouble early on.
And what a kick now to the back of the neck by Chris Jericho.
[Lawler] Y2J let Stevie Richards
try to fit in last Monday night on Raw, but the idiot…
Look at that.
[Cole] Oh man, into those steel stairs goes Stevie Richards.
[Lawler] Is that a tan line or what?
Oh my gosh.
[Cole] Wise move by Jericho to roll into the ring and break the count.
Now a dropkick to Richards, and Jericho's all over him.
[Lawler] Hey, hey, hey, I'm getting word from my sources.
I-- It's-- This is now confirmed.
The Rock is on his way.
He'll be here shortly.
[Cole] It's now confirmed that The Rock's on his way.
Well, The Rock's been challenged by the Road Dogg tonight.
And do you realize, as Jericho hammers away on Stevie Richards now,
do you realize that tonight on SmackDown, King,
D-Generation X could actually change the entire complexion
of World Wrestling Entertainment?
[Lawler] Without a doubt.
Talk about realizing, I think they will.
[Cole] If the Road Dogg can somehow defeat The Rock tonight on SmackDown,
that could change everything.
-[Lawler] Oh, look at this. -[Cole] Jericho now…
[Lawler] Speaking of changing everything, Jericho is fixing to
knock the stuffing out of the chest of Chyna or Stevie Richards.
[Cole] What a knee to the midsection now by Jericho to Stevie Richards.
Chris Jericho has challenged Chyna to an Intercontinental title matchup.
-[Lawler] Boy, and look at Y2J. -[Cole] Wait a minute.
-We've got company, King. -What?
[Cole] We've got company.
[Lawler] Look at the-- Whoo!
[Cole] It's Chyna and Miss Kitty.
And Jericho now, with Richards hung up on the top rope.
And now Stevie Richards with the shoulder, up over the top now,
and Jericho, nice maneuver, shoulders are down.
-Look out! -The cover now.
And Chyna just caught Jericho with the belt.
And it's over.
Stevie Richards pulls a huge upset with the assist of Chyna.
The referee never saw it.
[Lawler] Well, I saw it.
Stevie Richards never beat Chris Jericho.
It was Chyna that beat Chris Jericho.
[Cole] Well, Stevie Richards picked up the one, two, three.
And it's a huge upset and--
-Wait a minute. -Look at this.
[Cole] Well, Richards thanking Chyna.
[Lawler] Those white buns of h--
-[Cole] Oh my. -[Lawler] Wow.
[Cole] Well, I don't think Chyna was too flattered
with Stevie Richards' invitation there.
[Lawler] What an ingrate.
I guess it's the wrong time of the month for Chyna, huh?
Hey, wait a minute. My sources are speaking to me again.
-[Cole] What's that? -The Rock is gonna arrive any second now.
-The Rock is coming here any second? -[Lawler] Yes.
[Cole] Now, wait a minute now, Chris Jericho, Stevie Richards in trouble.
Jericho setting him up, Richards for the ride.
-Oh, and you know what's next. -[Lawler] Oh yes.
[Cole] Talk about ingrate, King.
[Lawler] What?
[Cole] And look at Jericho now,
ripping the stuffing out of Stevie Richards.
[Lawler] That's because Y2J is the future Intercontinental Champion.
He can do whatever he wants.
["Break the Walls Down" plays]
[Cole] Well, Stevie Richards picks up the victory,
but he may be worse for wear.
First Chyna and then Jericho with the attack on Richards.
Y2J defeated in this one.
Hey, King, look.
[Lawler] I told you my sources were right.
-[crowd cheering] -[Cole] The Rock is here.
The People's Champ is here.
[Lawler] But wait till he finds out about the challenge.
[inaudible chatter]
[Cole] Hey, King! We got some serious problems here, King.
Look, it's just I hate your guts! [grunting]
[Cole] And Road Dogg hammering away at The Rock.
-[Lawler] Look! -Road Dogg has challenged The Rock
-to a match tonight. -[Rock] How does that feel?
-[Lawler] I knew there was a big-- Oh no! -[Cole] Hey!
That's Billy Gunn.
X-Pac. It's DX.
[indistinct shouts]
[Cole] Triple H.
King, it's a mugging. It's a mugging.
It's four on one.
[Lawler] DX is all over The Rock.
[Cole] Well, DX had promised strength in numbers
and The Rock's feeling it now.
It's a four-on-one! D-Generation X attacking The Rock.
[Lawler] I knew The Rock should have never--
Should have never provoked--
What are they doing now?
[Cole] They just shoved The Rock into the… into the trunk.
How about that? You smell DX now?
-[crowd booing] -[inaudible]
-[Lawler] What? -Get your punk ass out of here, [bleep].
-See ya. -[Lawler] Rock's in the trunk.
Where are they going? Where are they going?
[Cole] We're back on SmackDown, King.
Just moments ago, The Rock had just arrived,
but he was attacked by the Road Dogg.
But it was a trap.
It was an ambush by D-Generation X.
[Lawler] I guess my sources should have told The Rock
what to expect when he got here.
DX had another one of those brilliant plans of theirs
and it worked to perfection.
Right now, the only thing The Rock is smelling
is the inside of the trunk of his Lincoln Continental.
[Cole] You remember DX's words, Triple H's words. Are they prophetic?
Triple H saying DX is taking over
and The Rock, this four-on-one situation,
feeling the wrath of D-Generation X.
[Lawler] I'm afraid there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.
With The Rock out of the way,
DX has truly got a clear path to taking over.
-Look what they did to The Rock. -[Cole] Where did they take The Rock?
Well, standing by, Kevin Kelly perhaps with an answer with DX.
Well, we just once again saw what DX did to The Rock.
I gotta ask you guys, are you out of your minds?
Are we out of our minds?
We are clear of mind.
Have you been watching the show?
Did you hear what we said?
DX is taking over.
That is exactly what we are gonna do.
You think The Rock doesn't smell what we're cooking?
You know, Kelly, if you think that was bad what we did to The Rock,
that's nothing compared to what I'm fixing to do to Austin. [laughs]
So learn it, Kelly, 'cause we're taking over.
And that's all there is to it.
[dog barking]
[Cole] Well, King, apparently DX has some pretty big plans
for the Texas Rattlesnake "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
who's yet to arrive here tonight.
[Lawler] That's good if you ask me,
because the Texas Rattlesnake deserves a pretty big plan from DX.
[Cole] Now flanked by the Posse,
here comes the British Bulldog.
["Bulldog" playing]
[Lawler] These guys have been hanging out quite a bit of late, Michael Cole.
They look good together.
[Cole] The Bulldog was involved in an emotionally charged cage match
this past Monday on Raw against Test.
Test with a huge score to settle.
It was the Bulldog, King, who injured Test's fiancée, Stephanie,
a few weeks ago in England,
-causing her to suffer from amnesia. -[Lawler] Yeah, but it was an accident.
Everybody tried to take it out on poor British Bulldog.
But good thing the Posse came to save the day.
There's no telling what Test would have done.
And then look who shows up and risked life and limb.
Shane McMahon flying all over the place
to get at his former friends.
-Look at that. -[Cole] Yeah.
Then you see Bulldog sneaking away,
didn't even stay for the fight, sneaking out.
[Lawler] Sneaking away?
Better to live to fight another day.
["Danger at the Door" playing]
[announcer] And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois,
weighing in at 268 pounds,
he's the World Wrestling Entertainment European Champion,
D'Lo Brown.
[Lawler] The minute Stephanie remembers that Test actually asked her to marry him,
she's liable to go into a flat-out coma.
[Cole] A great ovation for the European Champion, D'Lo Brown,
to take on a former European Champion, the British Bulldog.
[Lawler] And let me tell you, this title, this European title,
means more to the Bulldog than anything.
Well, with the exception of the WWE title.
But can you imagine the Bulldog was actually booed in his own home country?
-[Cole] Deserved it. -Booed all over Europe.
-Yeah, he deserved it. -Oh, give me a break.
[Cole] Then he blamed Vince McMahon and his family for getting himself booed.
[Lawler] Let me tell you, if the Bulldog can win this European title tonight
from D'Lo Brown, he'll be the talk of the town once again in his home country.
He'll be cheered all throughout Europe.
[Cole] And Bulldog now going to work on D'Lo Brown with the big forearms.
And D'Lo whipped across the ring. The action has been frantic.
It's been exciting here on SmackDown thus far here on UPN.
And, folks, there's nothing like seeing World Wrestling Entertainment live.
We wish you could all be with us here tonight.
But tickets are going on sale Saturday, King, for huge events
in Albany, Providence, Tampa.
Oh my! D'Lo Brown over the top rope.
And also Madison Square Garden.
Tickets on sale Saturday for those big WWE live events.
[Lawler] I'll tell ya what else is good to see.
It's good to see the Posse here at ringside showing support
for, well, for the British Bulldog.
[Cole] Showing support? Haven't we seen enough four-on-ones tonight?
[Lawler] What do you mean?
These guys are just here as moral support.
That's the kind of guys they are. Look at those--
[Cole] They have no morals. How can they have moral support?
[Lawler] How would you like a sweater vest for Christmas?
[Cole] D'Lo Brown, right hand, now in control. Look at this.
Tries for the suplex, but the tremendous strength of the Bulldog counters
and D'Lo now going for a ride.
Oh man.
[Lawler] Better yet, what about a sweater vest for you for Halloween? Huh?
You can go as one of the Posse.
[Cole] Now that we're talking about gifts,
what sort of gift do you think D-Generation X has in mind
for Stone Cold when he arrives?
-Oh, I don't know. But I guarantee-- Oh! -[Cole] Oh man.
-Speaking of gifts… -Right in the head.
[Lawler] There's a nice little present for D'Lo.
[Cole] Steel stairs bouncing off the head that time
of the European Champion, D'Lo Brown.
Survivor Series coming up November 14,
the triple-threat match of course for the WWE Championship.
But the question here tonight, King, is who's gonna survive SmackDown?
[Lawler chortles] Well, so far, I don't think The Rock has.
And I think they got big plans…
I'm talking about DX, has big plans for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
He may not survive here tonight either. Look out.
[Cole] Look at this. Bulldog tossed over the top rope
by the European Champ D'Lo Brown.
Look out now. Referee's back turned.
Rodney takes out D'Lo's legs from behind
and then slyly slides out of the ring.
[Lawler] Just showing support.
[Cole] Yeah, showing support all right.
And Bulldog now setting D'Lo up.
Oh man.
Here's the cover now by the Bulldog.
There's two, and D'Lo somehow gets the shoulder up before the count of three.
But D'Lo's left knee really hurting now after that chop block by Rodney.
[Lawler] Well, somehow that referee's arm went into slow motion
right before the three count. That went to three. I've never seen it.
Right now, the British Bulldog should be European Champion.
-[Cole] There are the Greenwich thugs. -[Lawler] What?
[Cole] The Mean Street Posse looking on at ringside.
[Lawler] Let me ask you something.
You think that maybe the Bull… not the Bulldog,
the Bulldog's got D'Lo in a bad way,
but do you think maybe that Rattlesnake has heard what happened to The Rock
and is not even gonna show up?
[Cole] Big back body drop.
Not a chance in hell.
You know the Rattlesnake's gonna show up. He's never backed down from a fight.
[Lawler] Look at this.
You don't have to use profanity, potty mouth.
-[Cole] Look. Wait a minute. D'Lo. -Look out.
-[Cole] Oh my. -[Lawler] Beautiful.
[Cole] Tried to use the European Championship.
Bulldog counters, though, right in the face of D'Lo Brown.
[Lawler] Turnabout's fair play.
[Cole] Referee never saw it. Cover now by the Bulldog.
Come on now. There's one, there's two,
and D'Lo somehow gets the shoulder up again.
That would have been a crime
if the Bulldog would have stolen the title there.
[Lawler] Another slow count. What bad officiating.
[Cole] Yeah, bad officiating.
Too bad the official didn't see the championship going into the ring.
[Lawler] What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Did you not see D'Lo trying to hit the Bulldog with that belt?
[Cole] What's good for the goose is good for gander.
And the Bulldog now trying to choke the wind out of D'Lo.
And D'Lo now with the left hands again to the midsection.
And D'Lo trying to come back.
The European Champion gaining momentum here.
Double clothesline. Both men out in the middle of the ring.
You see D'Lo's head bounce off the center of the mat?
[Lawler] Yeah, that looked pretty cool.
[Cole] European Championship's on the line.
[Lawler] You know what else I'm wondering right now?
Did you hear X-Pac earlier mention that DX may grow tonight?
There may be a new member? Who do you think that could be?
That'd be a plum position to be a new member of DX, wouldn't it?
[Cole] Aren't they strong enough with four?
[Lawler] Pretty strong.
[Cole] D'Lo battling back. Another right hand by the champion. Here we go now.
Speaking of strong, come on, show your strength.
[Cole] Reversal, D'Lo off the ropes. Bulldog misses with the clothesline.
D'Lo caught him, crossbody, knocks Bulldog over.
And D'Lo's speed now taking advantage here.
[Lawler] Come on, Bulldog.
[Cole] He's much quicker than the Bulldog, and here's that patented leg drop.
-[crowd cheering] -[Cole] Got him!
And D'Lo now rolls into the cover. There's two.
And wait a minute.
D'Lo up as Pete Gas goes to the apron of the ring.
[Lawler] What is that for?
[Cole] The Posse again distracting D'Lo.
Elbow now by D'Lo Brown.
He's setting him up.
We've seen this before. Running powerbomb time for D'Lo.
He connects here, King, it could be over.
[Lawler] Come on, Bulldog, bite him or something.
[Cole] Setting him up here.
Look out! It could be it.
[crowd cheering]
D'Lo Brown with a running powerbomb.
And the European Champion is cooking now.
[Lawler] Oh no.
Come on, Bulldog.
[Cole] You know what's coming next.
Could be lowdown time for the champ. D'Lo back in control.
[Lawler] Look at this. Watch your back.
[Cole] Wait! Pete Gas! Referee didn't see it
as Pete Gas pulled the legs out from under D'Lo Brown.
[Lawler] I don't think he did. He just slipped
or Pete Gas was cleaning something--
[Cole] Had no business being on the apron. And Bulldog now.
[Lawler] Something on the ropes. I think Pete--
[Cole] Oh my, from the top rope,
what a suplex by the Bulldog!
Hooks the leg, there's two.
-[Lawler] He got him! -[Cole] It's over.
-The Bulldog is European Champion. -[Lawler] Wow.
-Here is your winner… -[Cole] Come on.
-…and the new… -[Lawler] It is party time in London,
in Munich, and Brussels, and all over Europe.
[Cole] And look at the Posse now
with the Bulldog on their shoulders.
You know damn well, King, D'Lo Brown had this match won.
[Lawler] Wow, look at that.
-We got a new European Champion. -[Cole] Yeah.
And how can he be proud of the way he won?
The Posse helped him win the damn title.
[Lawler] Guarantee you they're proud in Europe. New champion, Bulldog.
[Cole] Oh, please, give me a break. Wait a minute.
I just want you to know where my head's at with this DX set.
It's just something I'm doing on the side.
You and I, that's what's tight. You know, we're tight,
we're bros, all right?
And about the other night, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come down.
I told you I wasn't gonna come down and interfere.
But it was either me, or the Chick was gonna come down
and get involved, man.
You know, so let's just forget about all that and let's-- It's you and I.
Okay? The Dudleys, that's what we gotta worry about tonight.
It's payback, freaking payback time on the Dudleys, man. Come on.
[man] And now, the WWE Boot of the Week brought to you by Lugz.
Tough boots built for the city, that's Lugz.
-[crowd cheering] -Look at that.
Yes, Rock Bottom, The Rock Bottom.
-What? -What?
What the hell? X-Pac with a spinning heel kick on The Rock.
X-Pac…
It's a four-on-one assault! DX is together.
-DX. DX. DX. -It's DX.
[man] That was the WWE Boot of the Week, brought to you by Lugz,
boots and jeans with attitude.
Lugz, decide and conquer.
-Hey. -Hey, as a matter of fact, Father Tom,
you seen "Stone Cold" Steve Austin?
Bald-headed, probably drinking a beer?
I haven't seen Stone Cold.
-I don't think he's here. -Not here yet?
Oh, and by the way, what did you do with The Rock?
The Rock? Don't you worry about The Rock.
He's on the other side of the tracks right where he belongs. [laughs]
[Cole] Wow. That's the question tonight. Where's The Rock?
["Burned" playing]
[Lawler] Watch your ears, Michael.
-[effects popping] -[Lawler] Oh!
-["Are You Ready" plays] -[Cole] And here they come!
The fans on their feet for Kane and X-Pac.
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 548 pounds,
X-Pac and Kane.
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you something. I gotta be honest with you.
I'm real glad to see X-Pac back in DX,
but, you know, what we just saw a little earlier,
him trying to stay buddy-buddy with Kane,
you know, all those emotions
and feelings that they seem to have,
that's about to make me gag.
[Cole] Hey, King, whether or not you like X-Pac rejoining DX,
the bottom line is he's protected by his friend Kane,
which gets us to the next question.
Do you think that Kane
could be that new recruit of DX that X-Pac was talking about earlier on?
[Lawler] Oh, now, wait a minute.
-[Cole] Can you imagine? -[Lawler] Wait… Now you're talking.
-["Ollie Stalefish" plays] -[Cole] Can you imagine?
[announcer] And their opponents,
at a combined weight of 565 pounds,
Bubba Ray and D-Von, The Dudley Boyz.
[Cole] Here are two guys who are trying to make a serious name for themselves
in World Wrestling Entertainment.
They tried to do that again on Raw Monday night, King.
During an interview with Kane and X-Pac, The Dudley Boyz attacked.
[yelling]
[Lawler] It was a vicious attack. The Dudleys were sending a message.
They're sending a message not only to X-Pac and Kane,
but to everybody in WWE they're gonna have to be reckoned with.
[Cole] Yeah, it was a hit-and-run attack by Bubba Ray and D-Von,
The Dudley Boyz.
You know, Bubba Ray hasn't been making friends with Kane as of late,
making fun of Kane's speech problems.
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you something,
if Kane is gonna become the new member of DX,
well, Mr. McMahon will really have some serious problems.
He'll really have something to think about.
[crowd chatter]
[Cole] Well, it's gonna be D-Von now hammering away on Kane.
No effects with those right hands.
And Kane is not in a good mood.
You can tell as he flattens D-Von with a clothesline that time.
Folks, it's been an unbelievable night thus far on SmackDown.
-D-Generation X is back. -[Lawler] Yes.
[Cole] Triple H claims that DX is taking over World Wrestling Entertainment,
and this ultimate game of chess we're talking about
between Vince McMahon and D-Generation X has begun.
[Lawler] DX called out Vince McMahon,
told him they were taking over. Unbelievable.
-Look out. -[Cole] Whipped into the corner now.
And look at D-Von out of the corner, Kane with that sidewalk slam.
[Lawler] Boy, what a… What a DX member Kane would make.
-What… What's he doing here? -[Cole] Wait a minute.
Kane's gonna climb the top rope now.
Here's the seven footer up top. D-Von in trouble.
[Lawler] This huge machine is gonna fly.
[Cole] Look at this, a big red airplane through the air, knocks D-Von down.
Here's the hook to the leg now. There's--
Oh, and Bubba Ray breaks up the count after the count of two.
X-Pac now into the ring.
Referee distracted and Bubba Ray wants some of Kane now.
[Lawler] "Come on, Bubabababoy," he said.
[Cole] D-Von from behind, and here's Kane.
Look at D-Von now.
Whipped into the ropes, Kane with a big boot to the face.
And Bubba Ray now gets a boot of his own.
And Kane systematically taking apart The Dudley Boyz here.
-[Lawler] Know what I think Kane is doing? -[Cole] What?
[Lawler] As impressive as he's being, I think he's actually…
-He's auditioning, he's trying out for DX. -What does he have to audition for?
[Lawler] For DX. He's showing them what he could do.
[Cole] If they don't know by now what Kane can do…
[Lawler] But it's all about attitude. He's gotta show them this new attitude,
show them that he's tired of all these human feelings.
-I'll tell you-- -He's not a softy. Look at this.
[Cole] Kane flying through the air, catching Bubba Ray with a clothesline.
[Lawler] He needs-- That was impressive, and you know what else?
Kane needs to drop that Tori like a bad habit.
[Cole] I'll tell you who's got a new attitude.
How about "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn challenging "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
to a big matchup here tonight on SmackDown,
although the Rattlesnake is not here yet?
Our cameras are positioned in the parking lot,
awaiting the arrival of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Lawler] Austin may have heard what happened to The Rock.
-He may not show. -[Cole] And DX has promised
that something's gonna happen to Austin.
We've already seen The Rock four-on-one attacked in the parking lot,
shoved into the trunk of a car,
and then Road Dogg sped away with him somewhere.
[Lawler] Those rattlesnakes,
they usually have those rattles at the end of the tail.
Austin may have got a little limber tail now. He may be a little afraid to show up.
He don't wanna face the DX music tonight.
[Cole] And The Dudley Boyz now beginning to wear down The Big Red Machine Kane.
D-Von with a kick to the back.
Kane to his feet again,
and here's the tag now to the fresh man Bubba Ray.
-[Lawler] You know what I just thought of? -What?
-[Lawler] Jim Ross, JR. -[Cole] Oh! What about him?
[Lawler] He's a big Steve Austin mark.
He probably called Austin and smartened him up to this.
[Cole] Well, maybe he did.
-[Lawler] Well, Austin-- -[Cole] X-Pac now into the ring.
-Spinning heel kick on Bubba Ray. -Come on.
[Cole] X-Pac a house of fire, cleaning the ring, and look out now.
And here's a tag again to Kane,
and X-Pac brings Kane back into the ring.
-The Big Red Machine-- Oh no! -[Lawler] What?
That was a low blow from X-Pac to Kane and the X-Factor.
-Damn it. -[Lawler] What?
And a cover by Bubba Ray.
-What the hell is going on? -[Lawler] I don't know, but…
-[Cole] The Dudley Boyz have defeated… -The winners,
-The Dudley Boyz. -[Cole] Oh, come on now.
What is X-Pac doing?
[Lawler] I don't know, but now Kane's back up.
X-Pac, if I were you…
[Cole] X-Pac better hightail it out of there quick.
And X-Pac's face to face with The Big Red Machine.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh.
He wants to be friends-- Oh.
[Cole] Oh no.
Billy Gunn now from behind. Triple H, the Road Dogg,
again, a four-on-one attack by D-Generation X.
[Lawler] I knew there was no place in DX for a softy like Kane.
[Cole] And DX now, the ambush on Kane again.
There was a four-on-one against The Rock earlier on
and now a four-on-one with Kane.
And Kane's about to feel the pedigree.
-[Lawler] Look at this. -[Cole] Oh man.
Kane didn't deserve this.
All Kane wanted to be was a friend, King.
-Oh, forget friendship. -Kane just wanted a friend.
[Lawler] Look at this.
I guess my job of carrying your big ass is over.
-[Lawler laughs] -[crowd chattering]
Kane, your brother was right about you.
You're weak and you're not DX material.
There ain't gonna be a new member of D-Generation X tonight
-because you're a piece of crap. -[Lawler] Wow.
[Cole] Come on now.
And I'm sick of carrying you. That's it.
[Cole] X-Pac just stabbed Kane in the back and twisted the knife.
Kane's been betrayed by someone he believed was his best friend.
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you something,
a man can only take so much, and X-Pac had had enough.
Kane in there, he failed his audition,
he proved to DX that he was not DX material.
[Cole] King, Kane did not deserve this.
After all that Kane has done for X-Pac,
Kane has been stabbed in the back
by the person he thought was his best friend.
[Cole] King, we're back on SmackDown, and this was just pathetic.
X-Pac, who for months gained Kane's trust, made him whole,
made him a human, just stabbed Kane in the back.
[Lawler] Well, all this whole inhuman stuff, look where it got Kane.
If you ask me, I think he can probably blame Tori
on a lot of this human emotion stuff.
-Look what it got him. -[Cole] Yeah.
Kane is distraught.
You know, it's got to be like a child losing a puppy.
This is… This is the ultimate double-cross.
Kane put his entire life,
his entire trust into X-Pac,
and then DX, the four-on-one to rub salt in the wound.
-["Loaded" by Zack Tempest plays] -[Lawler] Well, my sources tell me
that Kane has tucked his tail between his legs
and left the building with big alligator tears running down his face.
-[Cole] You and your sources. -[bell ringing]
-[Lawler] Oh baby. -The following tag team contest
is scheduled for one fall.
Making their way to the ring, being accompanied by Terri Runnels,
at a combined weight of 430 pounds,
Matt and Jeff, The Hardy Boyz.
[Cole] Well, here come The Hardy Boyz and as King said,
his sources saying that Kane has left the building distraught, head down.
And, King, I can tell you this.
Nokia presents the 1999 Survivor Series.
Inspired technology with the human touch. Nokia, connecting people.
Survivor Series, Sunday, November 14, live, exclusively on pay-per-view.
Question tonight is who's gonna survive?
DX is on a rampage.
[Lawler] I don't know.
You mean you're looking at Terri Runnels and that's your question?
-…combined weight of 876 pounds… -[Cole] Uh-huh.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh.
[announcer] …Viscera and Sexual Chocolate, Mark Henry.
[Cole] Was that a combined weight of the hoes or Viscera and Mark Henry?
[Lawler] I don't know.
[Cole] Well, Viscera…
[Lawler] These are certainly not The Godfather's hoes, are they?
[Cole] Well, we saw Viscera on Raw this past Monday night
in a match against The Godfather.
I guess decided he wanted to get into the pimping business.
[Lawler] Wow-- Look, whoa, babe.
Why don't you lay down and roll down here? You'd make better time.
[chuckles] Look at those jelly bellies.
[Cole] And we understand that Viscera is not the kind of pimp
that The Godfather is, King.
The Godfather, a fun-loving guy, likes to have fun with his ladies.
Viscera, uh, not quite that way.
Remember what Viscera said to Sexual Chocolate.
[Lawler] Wait a minute, here comes mission impossible.
Her trying to get in the ring.
[Cole] Oh boy.
[Lawler] I told ya, it ain't gonna happen.
[Cole] King, keep in mind what Viscera said to Mark Henry on Monday night too.
He said, "If you help me out in this match against The Godfather,
you can have my hoes 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
And it looks to me earlier on tonight,
Mark Henry was taking ole Vis up on that offer.
[Lawler] Yeah. And that's… I don't know.
Mark Henry with hoes 24/7 is like--
That's like an alcoholic in a liquor store or a chocoholic in a candy store.
He's gone wild.
[Cole] You think Viscera's gonna offer the hoes to The Hardy Boyz?
[Lawler chortles] I don't know, but that one ho…
Oh baby, there you go.
-Now we're talking. -I'm telling you, the Hardys got Terri.
I don't think they want anything to do with Viscera's women.
So, this should be a very interesting matchup.
The high-flying antics,
the speed of the Hardys,
against the strength and power of Viscera and Mark Henry.
[Lawler] And did, uh… did Mark actually kiss that biggest ho?
[Cole] And now Matt Hardy goes to work on the 450-pound Viscera.
King, you're talking about your sources.
I've got a little scoop from my sources.
-[Lawler] What's that? -[Cole] Unconformed--
Unconfirmed, I should say,
reports that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is on his way to the arena as we speak.
-[Lawler] When did you get sources? -[Cole] I got a lot of sources.
-Come on. -[Lawler] Look at this.
[Cole] Here's Jeff now into the ring.
Matt Hardy backs Viscera into the corner.
Look at Jeff now. Oh my.
These kids are high flyers, the Hardys.
Former tag team champions,
now going to work on the 450-pound Viscera.
[Lawler] Look at this.
[Cole] And look at that counter by Viscera, and a double clothesline.
[Lawler] Hardy Boyz are like demolition workers
trying to take down a skyscraper with Viscera,
trying to get him off his feet-- Oh, he did it for them.
-[Cole] Nobody home, the elbow misses. -Right back up.
[Cole] And Jeff now hammering away.
The Hardys are gonna have to do this on speed and quickness.
They're not gonna be able to outpower these guys.
-[Lawler] Look at that one ho over there. -[Cole] What?
[Lawler] How'd you like to see her in a G-string?
[Cole] Oh God.
Viscera now with a headbutt to the back of the neck.
[Lawler] Oh baby, speaking of G-strings.
I forgot, you probably think a G-string is part of a fiddle.
[Cole] Matt now in the ring off the tag by Jeff.
The Hardys now gonna try to double team Viscera.
[Lawler] No way.
There's no way they're gonna be able to get the big man up.
-Viscera goes for the counter, locks it. -Oh, wait a minute.
[Cole] Hardys are in trouble, and a double DDT by Viscera.
-[Lawler] Look at that. -[Cole groans]
[Lawler] Does the term wildebeest come to mind?
[Cole] Got your name written all over her,
as Sexual Chocolate Mark Henry comes into the ring.
[Lawler] My name?
[Cole] And what a right hand by Mark Henry.
The 386-pounder with a right hand to Matt.
[crowd cheering]
-Wait a minute here. -[Lawler] Oh baby.
[Cole] Well, Terri tempting Mark Henry,
and a dropkick from behind to the knee.
And can the Hardys take advantage now?
Jeff climbing to the top rope.
Look out, neckbreaker by Matt.
Jeff Hardy flying high.
Senton bomb. Caught him,
caught him in the sternum. Cover now by Matt.
And, folks, the Hardys have pulled a huge upset
over Viscera and Mark Henry.
Give the assist to the beauty of Terri. Wow.
["Loaded" plays]
[Cole] What a victory for the Hardys.
Terri distracted Mark Henry.
[Lawler] Wait. Look at this.
And now all of a sudden in the ring, it's become animal kingdom.
Look out.
[Cole] Well, the Hardys were outmanned, outpowered, outsized,
but they did it, King, and Viscera is not too happy here.
[Lawler] Think these girls have had their shots?
Mark kissed the one with the smallest fever blister.
Oh, look.
[Cole] This is what we were talking about.
Viscera is not a pimp like The Godfather is.
And here's a big problem, and I mean big.
-We got a little, uh… Oh man! -[Lawler] Oh!
[Cole] Viscera just clobbered Sexual Chocolate.
[Lawler] Well, I guess Viscera didn't take kindly
to the fact that Sexual Chocolate cost him that match.
-Oh my God. -[Cole] Oh, what a splash.
That's 450 pounds crashing down on Mark Henry.
[Lawler] Maybe 500. No. Not again.
[Cole] Oh. Again, he did it.
-[Lawler] Wow. -He busted up the insides of Mark Henry.
And now Viscera laying down the law to Sexual Chocolate.
[Lawler] I don't think Mark Henry's gonna have any hoes on his mind tonight.
[Cole] Well, Mark Henry was distracted by Terri…
and he paid for it.
And there, Viscera, an extremely, extremely dangerous man.
-[Lawler] Man. -["Big Vis" playing]
[Cole] Boy oh boy.
Viscera upset with Mark Henry
as the Hardys pick up a huge win,
a huge upset right here tonight on SmackDown.
[crowd cheering in distance]
[inaudible chatter]
Excuse me, guys.
-Who the hell are you? -Hey, hold on.
That's Grandpappy.
You guys were looking for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin?
-Yeah. -I just wanna let you know he arrived.
-He did arrive. -He arrived.
-Business is about to pick up, boys. -Yeah.
[overlapping chatter]
Austin's smart.
If he's here, he knows damn well what we're doing already.
All right? So we gotta hit him before he hits us.
Yeah. We initiate the attack.
You're damn straight. So let's go get him. Let's do it.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh, Michael. -It's all about combat, gentlemen.
[Cole] DX is on the hunt, King. They're looking for Stone Cold.
-[Lawler] Oh, this is gonna be good. -["Cell Block"plays]
I can't wait to see-- What do you think they'll do to him?
What do they got in mind for Stone Cold?
[Cole] All I know is it's gonna be bad.
-[Lawler] Yes. -[Cole] And speaking of bad,
the Big Boss Man has absolutely no conscience.
He's despicable.
He's a sick, sadistic individual, King.
And it all started with Pepper,
Al Snow's beloved dog.
See, Boss Man kidnapped Pepper.
He then cooked Pepper and fed the dog to Al Snow.
What kind of human being would feed a beloved friend to its master?
But it wouldn't stop there for the Big Boss Man.
Boss Man then turned his vicious attacks toward The Big Show.
After Show learned his father was dying of cancer,
Boss Man began the psychological warfare,
preying on Show's pain, his love for his dad,
and his rocky emotional state.
He paid off a friend of his to tell The Big Show his father had died.
And then Boss Man and that friend were caught on GTV
celebrating this cruel, sadistic joke.
And then the stakes got even higher this past Monday on Raw.
The Boss Man showed up with a Big Show family heirloom,
a watch belonging to The Big Show's father.
And then a hammer shot to the head.
The Big Show was down and out,
but the Boss Man's cruel joke didn't end there.
He destroyed this family heirloom,
which connected three generations in The Big Show's family.
And there you see the Boss Man
and his accomplice, Prince Albert.
I tell you what, King, that duo is truly sick.
[announcer] …weighing in at 246 pounds, Al Snow.
[Lawler] Now wait a minute, Michael, speaking of sick…
this guy is about two or three beers short of a six-pack himself.
[Cole] A lot of history as we just saw, folks,
between Al Snow and the Big Boss Man.
This is a one-on-one matchup, not a hardcore match.
Traditional match here between Al Snow and the Big Boss Man.
Folks, SmackDown's been electric here tonight,
but there's nothing like seeing the WWE live this Sunday afternoon.
Halloween in New Haven.
And a week from tomorrow,
a huge event at the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky,
as the Big Boss Man now hammers away on Al Snow.
And listen to this, King, tickets on sale Saturday
for huge events at Madison Square Garden,
Tampa, Providence, and Albany.
-Wow. -[Lawler] Look out.
[Cole] Boss Man tossed through the second rope and into the outside.
And Al Snow now measuring him. Over top rope, caught him.
[crowd shouting]
[Lawler] This is not a hardcore title match, is it?
-[Cole] No, it isn't. -[Lawler] Good.
[Cole] Oh, Al Snow with a boot to the back that time.
-[Lawler] Wait a minute. -What?
[Lawler] My sources, they're feeding me some information right now.
I understand that DX is searching for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
They've got plans for him.
They're looking for him up on the roof.
-[Cole] On the roof? -On the roof.
[Cole] Wait a minute. Al Snow now, cover.
There's one, there's two, and Boss Man wisely gets his boot on the rope.
King, what the hell would Stone Cold be doing on the roof of this arena?
[Lawler] A rattlesnake could be anywhere.
But you know, if they really wanna find him…
DX, if you wanna find Stone Cold,
you might ought to check out the beer stand.
That's where he probably is.
[Cole] Oh, look at this now.
Al Snow walked right into that one.
And Boss Man in control.
The beer stand? You and your sources.
-[Lawler] I'm gonna tell ya-- -[Cole] Man, what a boot.
[Lawler] They're gonna find him. I promise you that.
[Cole] What in the world, King, does D-Generation X have planned
as they go on the hunt for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin?
Already tonight they've taken care of The Rock.
We don't know where he is.
They've taken care of Kane, and now they're going after Austin.
[Lawler] They got plans for Austin. You know, speaking of plans,
The Big Show, we saw JR talk to The Big Show earlier
and The Big Show felt that he just--
he'd be better off if he just left rather than what he saw
or he got his eyes on the Big Boss Man,
The Big Show would do something that he'll really regret.
[Cole] Al Snow rolls him over. There's the cover. Two and a kickout.
Al Snow out-wrestling the Boss Man,
but Boss Man with a finger to the eyes that time,
and knocks him down with a clothesline.
You know, it's a damn good thing for the Boss Man, King,
that The Big Show isn't here tonight.
[Lawler] Wait a minute now.
That goes both ways, you know.
When you're talking about the Big Boss Man with Prince Albert there at his side…
oh, they'd go toe-to-toe with anybody.
[Cole] Snapmare takedown by the Boss Man.
[Lawler] Do some pretty despicable things too.
Oh, look at this.
[Cole] We've already seen 'em do a ton of despicable things.
Oh, Al Snow with a boot to the gut.
[Lawler] The Boss Man was standing on that nappy hair of Al Snow's.
[Cole] Yeah, but Boss Man's in control right now.
[Lawler] Speaking of despicable,
my sources tell me that DX is searching for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
-in the ladies restroom. -[Cole] Ladies room?
[Lawler] He could be anywhere, that Rattlesnake.
Look at Boss Man. He's looking good.
[Cole] I'll tell you, he's made a serious enemy in The Big Show.
[Lawler] But he's made a close friend in Prince Albert.
He's got a piercing.
Oh, you need a piercing or two, Michael.
[Cole] Yeah, right. Al Snow now reverses the tables here.
Boss Man in the corner as Prince Albert cheers Boss Man on.
Al Snow with the right hands, knocking Boss Man down.
[Lawler] Matter of fact, we can get you a Prince Albert, Michael.
[Cole] Yeah. Prince Albert there with that night stick of the Boss Man.
Look out, from behind,
Boss Man just clocked Al Snow with the Hardcore Championship.
Referee didn't see it.
Hook of the leg now.
-[Lawler] What? -It's over.
[bell ringing]
[Cole] Prince Albert distracted the referee
and Al Snow and the Boss Man took advantage.
[Lawler] Well, Al Snow thought he was gonna intercept that, uh…
Oh, wow. Did you see that?
That's a little show of affection from the Boss Man.
[Cole] So the Boss Man defeats Al Snow.
And, King, we gotta take another look at this.
Here's what happened.
The referee's back turned and watch the Boss Man
with the Hardcore Championship.
Oh.
-[Lawler] Boss Man used-- -[Cole] Wait a minute. Listen.
Hold on.
What a shock.
What a surprise.
What a major upset that was.
[crowd chatter]
-[Lawler] Here he goes. He's going off. -The two of you beating me.
Wow.
-[inaudible] -[Lawler] What does he mean by that?
But you know what? [panting]
I don't know if it's the shot to my head…
or the fact the doctors upped the dosage of my medication.
[Cole] Oh no.
But I, being the grizzled veteran that I am,
feel like I've let the youth of this sport down, Prince Albert.
[Lawler] The what?
Because you,
you just weren't physically involved enough on this match.
I didn't do a thing!
[Lawler] Wasn't involved enough?
I know you didn't do a thing, and I feel bad.
So I was thinking…
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
I was thinking…
-[Lawler] That's the problem. -…since you've got my hardcore title,
because I am the Crowned Prince of Hardcore…
-[inaudible] -[Lawler] Did he say clown prince?
…I'm thinking, "What the hell?"
"The night's young. I'm not done having fun."
Why don't the two of you meet me
in the outside parking lot for a hardcore match for that belt?
-[Lawler] What? -You bring your girlfriend
from cell block H,
-and I'll kick both your asses. -What? What?
[Cole] Al Snow has just challenged the Boss Man
and Prince Albert to a hardcore match in the parking lot.
King, I guess this thing isn't over tonight.
-[Lawler] In the parking lot? -[Cole] In the parking lot.
[Lawler] It will be over sooner or later tonight.
Al Snow is nuttier than a fruitcake.
[Cole] Al Snow just went through the crowd.
He's on his way to the parking lot.
Are Boss Man and Prince Albert gonna join him?
[Lawler] I don't know. That's gonna be a big mistake for Al Snow if they do.
Look at that.
It's Road Dogg.
[yelling, inaudible shout]
Damn. Looks like it hurts.
Looks like it hurts.
Please. Please.
-Can I help you? -Help me, please.
Let me see what I can do.
-Oh God! -There you go.
-You take care, you son of a [bleep]. -Don't-- Don't leave me.
Billy!
[Cole] We're back on SmackDown, live, King.
And the EMTs are trying to pry that bear trap
-off the leg of the Road Dogg. -Get him out of there.
[Cole] I'll tell you, the EMTs gotta get him to the hospital.
[Lawler] Oh no. Come on now.
I mean, Road Dogg's too tough for that.
Just get that bear trap off his leg there. There.
And wait till you see what Road Dogg and DX will do to Austin now.
[Cole] Well, we gotta believe Austin set that bear trap on the Road Dogg.
Wait a minute.
Well, Al Snow challenged Prince Albert and Boss Man
to a hardcore match in the parking lot.
They may get it on here right now.
You suck, Austin.
Hey, Boss, I'm getting a little cold out here.
Hey, man, I'll tell you what.
Hey, let's get in the car.
-When he gets out here, we'll jump him… -[inaudible]
[Lawler] This is great. Did you hear that? They're gonna wait for him.
They're gonna wait for Al Snow in the car.
When Al Snow shows up, they're gonna jump right out.
Well, I'm not gonna say exactly what they said they're gonna do to him,
but it's gonna be good. [cackles]
[Cole] So Boss Man and Prince Albert are lying in wait, I guess, here
for Al Snow, who's challenged them to a hardcore match.
-[Lawler] Get down and hide-- -[Cole] King. What's this?
-Look at-- That's… -[Lawler] What?
[Cole] That's…
-[Lawler] The Big Show. -[Cole] Isn't that The Big Show?
[Lawler] He's rammed the forklift into the side of Boss Man's car.
Huh? You wanna mess with somebody? Huh?
-I think Al Snow has set the Boss Man up. -[Cole] Yeah.
Al Snow has set up the Boss Man and Prince Albert.
King, they're trapped in that car.
-[Lawler] Look at this. -[inaudible shouts]
[Cole] Oh my.
Oh my God.
The Big Show taking out all of that pent-up frustration.
Tell me you're scared, Boss Man.
Tell me you're scared. Huh?
Tell me you're scared.
[Cole] That's over 500 pounds crashing into that roof.
[Lawler] Somebody's gotta help these guys get out. They're trapped.
Boss Man and Prince Albert are trapped in that car.
What's he doing?
[Cole] Oh my God, The Big Show has lost it here, folks.
Boss Man and Prince Albert are trapped.
Wait a minute. No!
-[Lawler] What? -[Cole] No!
-[Lawler] Look out. -[Cole] Oh my God.
No.
-Oh no. -[Lawler] He's crushed them.
[Cole] Boss Man and Prince Albert are in that car.
[Lawler] They're crushed.
-[Cole] Oh my God. -[yelling]
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] We're back, and Michael, I can't believe what we've just seen.
We thought The Big Show had left the building,
but Al Snow set up Boss Man and Prince Albert
by sending them out to the parking lot for a hardcore match,
and that's where The Big Show was waiting for them.
He jammed a forklift into the side of Boss Man's car
and then proceeded to stomp on it.
And then he shoved this dumpster
that had to weigh at least two tons right onto the top of their car.
They've gotta be crushed, Michael.
♪ He's got the whole world in his hands ♪
[Lawler] Now what, Michael?
♪ He's got the whole wide world In his hands ♪
♪ He's got the whole-- ♪
Blackman, I'll let you know when I find your charisma, buddy.
-♪ He's got the whole world… ♪ -[Lawler] Hey.
What's that? What's that screaming?
-[Cole] I don't know. -[Lawler] Oh my God.
-[Cole] What's going on now? -[Lawler] What's happened to Mr. Ass?
-[Cole] That's "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn. -Somebody get me down.
-[Lawler] Caught in some kind of snare. -How's it hanging, Billy?
Do something, you son of a [bleep].
Brother, you watch your mouth or I'll beat you like a damn piñata.
Austin. Ah!
My knees, come on. Come on.
You ain't so tough now, are you, son of a [bleep]?
[Cole] Austin struck again.
[Lawler] First a bear trap and now he's… he's snared Billy Gunn.
[Cole] The Rattlesnake is now the hunter, DX is the hunted.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh.
The Road Dogg, Mr. Ass, who's next in DX?
[Cole] Well, here comes Mankind.
And, King, SmackDown has been a runaway train this week.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh. We've seen it all.
What else can happen here tonight?
The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 287 pounds,
Mankind.
[Cole] Well, Mankind had Triple H defeated for the WWE title on Raw Monday night,
but Val Venis screwed it.
Let's take 30 seconds to show you how.
[man] And now the Rescue of the Week, brought to you by the US Coast Guard.
Join and you can save lives every day.
Call 1-877-NOWUSCG.
It's gotta be over. You can feel it.
-Look at this. -We got a new champion.
Wait a minute. Look.
What the hell? No.
Man. Damn it.
Val Venis assaulting Mankind with a steel chair.
I swear to God, Mankind had the title won.
That's the second time he screwed Mankind.
[man] That was the Rescue of the Week.
Join the Coast Guard or Coast Guard Reserve.
Save lives, enforce the law, protect the environment, call now.
[rock music playing]
[Cole] So Mankind's set for action.
-["Hello Ladies" plays] -[Cole] Uh-oh.
[Lawler] Sounds like he's gonna get it.
The Big Valbowski is on his way.
[announcer] And his opponent from Las Vegas, Nevada,
weighing in at 244 pounds,
Val Venis.
[crowd cheering]
-[Cole] So The Big Valbowski. -Cut the music.
[music stops]
Mankind, as you stand in the center of that ring,
The Big Valbowski knows exactly what you are thinking.
[Lawler] Thinking? Mankind?
What you're thinking, Mankind, is you want respect.
You want respect for your in-ring ability,
you want respect for your out-of-ring ability,
and you want respect for your literary art.
[Lawler] Oh, that's right.
-[Cole] He deserves all of it. -And as your book is being said
to be in The New York Times Top 10 Best Seller list…
-[Lawler] What? -[Cole] That's right, King.
Huge news. Mankind's book's
-on The New York Times Best Seller list. -[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] Huh. -…you demand respect.
Mankind, as The Big Valbowski
will strut and stroll
and gyrate his way down to that very ring,
climb into that ring, and look into your eyes,
he will reinforce the idea
into that peppercorn brain of yours
that I am exactly what I say I am,
and that is the single fastest up-and-coming athlete
in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Lawler] This is gonna be good.
[Cole] It's gonna be good, all right. Here comes Val Venis down the ramp.
And Mankind wants to get this thing started.
-Here we go. Val wasting little time. -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[Cole] And Mankind with revenge on his mind.
It was Val Venis on Monday night,
you were sitting right there, King, cost Mankind the WWE title.
[Lawler] Well, I don't know if you can say that or not.
I actually didn't see that happening.
I was looking down at that stupid book of Mankind's.
-Have you read that book, Michael? -[Cole] Yeah.
I'm in the middle of it. It's a great, great read.
-[Lawler] I'm waiting for the CliffsNotes. -Please.
[Lawler] You read it and give me a book report.
[Cole] Val Venis now hammering away on Mankind.
King, wait a minute.
Getting some information now from the parking lot area.
And I understand that an ambulance has arrived on the scene
and they're using the Jaws of Life to pry out Prince Albert,
Prince Albert and the Big Boss Man out of that car.
[crowd cheering]
-Could you believe… -[Lawler] That is…
I have never seen anything like that in my life.
-[Cole] Man. The Big Show… -[Lawler] That huge dumpster
was just pushed right onto the top of the car
containing Prince Albert and the Boss Man.
They were crushed in there.
-Ugh. -[Cole] And Mankind now… Oh, look at that.
Great maneuver by Val Venis to hang him up there.
[Lawler] There you go, Val.
[Cole] Don't have any word on the condition of Prince Albert
or the Big Boss Man yet, but it's a very serious situation.
The Big Show dumping a dumpster, it had to weigh at least a ton,
maybe two tons,
onto the roof of the car that he trapped Albert and the Boss Man in.
[Lawler] I'll tell you a little bit about the condition of Mankind right now.
It's not good. [cackles]
Come on, Big Valbowski.
[Cole] Val Venis with a tremendous opportunity here.
Here's a guy who stepped up to the plate.
A new attitude, a mean streak for Val Venis.
Some serious issues with Mankind as well.
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you something.
Val's never… He's never written any books, but he made a lot of great movies.
-Did you see On Golden Blonde? -[Cole] No, I missed it.
[Lawler] A classic of Val's.
[Cole] You see what Val Venis is doing here now, King.
You remember Monday night on Raw during the match with Triple H,
-Mankind injured that left shoulder. -Right.
[Cole] And Val Venis going to work now on that tender shoulder of Mankind.
[Lawler] Because Val's smart.
You gotta be smart to learn all those lines
and those plots in the movies that Val's in.
[Cole] And Mankind now writhing in pain
as Val Venis works on the left shoulder.
You know, King, you're talking about plots,
his lines are, you know… "Ugh, ugh."
-[Lawler] Who, Val? -[Cole] Yeah.
[Lawler] Are you kidding? Did you not see Genital Hospital?
[Cole] No, I missed that one too.
[Lawler] That was a classic.
[Cole] Looking now, working again on that shoulder of Mankind.
-You know, King-- -Wait.
-Look at the face of Mankind. -[Cole] What about it?
[Lawler] The Halloween pumpkin on my front porch has more teeth than Mankind.
[Cole] Look at Val going to work.
I'm telling you, King, you know, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
has now taken out two of the four members of D-Generation X.
Road Dogg with a bear trap.
-[Lawler] Quit reminding me. -[Cole] Hung up BA Billy Gunn.
Who's gonna be next? Triple H? X-Pac?
[Lawler] Well, what do you think?
[Cole] Gonna be one of them, I'm sure.
[Lawler] Oh, that's another serious situation.
Something's gotta be done about Austin.
This hostile takeover is not turning out the way DX planned,
-I'm sure. -[Cole] Nice leg sweep.
King, where do your sources have Stone Cold now?
[Lawler] Wait. I'll have to check.
[Cole] Val Venis now again working on that shoulder of Mankind.
Tremendous pressure being applied here.
No. No.
[Lawler] Well, I'm gonna tell you something.
This is just… This has been a SmackDown for the history books tonight.
We have literally seen it all.
But you know what,
we haven't heard, my sources have not been able to find…
Where's The Rock?
Said he was left on the wrong side of the tracks, whatever that means.
[Cole] We saw DX four-on-one against The Rock,
shoving him into a trunk of a car and then taking off.
And then we saw a four-on-one against Kane at the hands of D-Generation X.
But now Stone Cold is on the hunt.
DX is suddenly…
-They're the prey now. -[Lawler] Oh man.
[Cole] And look at Mankind tossing Val Venis into the corner.
And here's Val now, whipped across the ring by Mankind.
Nobody home. And there's that shoulder into the post.
[Lawler] Why do that if you had a hurt shoulder?
[Cole] I'm getting some more information now from the parking lot area that…
Yeah, Boss Man and Prince Albert are out of the car
and they've been placed in an ambulance.
They're being taken to a local medical center.
-And… -[Lawler] Terrible.
[Cole] No idea of their condition. It can't be good.
Here's a cover now. Hook of the leg by Val Venis.
And Mankind kicks out.
[Lawler] What was The Big Show thinking to pull a stunt like that?
[Cole] I mean, look at what the Boss Man has done to The Big Show
over the past few weeks.
I mean, on Raw Monday night,
he had the family heirloom,
the watch that belonged to The Big Show's father, his dying father,
that Boss Man took out of his dying father's hands,
brought it onto national television,
smashed it in front of millions around the world,
and then hit The Big Show on the head with a hammer.
[Lawler] Well, okay.
That was bad, but what do you think was going through the minds of the…
of the Boss Man and Prince Albert
when they were in the front and the back seat of that car,
trapped, wedged in there, no way to escape?
That forklift jammed the doors shut
and all of a sudden this 500-pound monster, The Big Show,
he's just literally stomping and trashing that Lincoln Continental.
Just stomping it to bits right there.
What d'you think was going through their mind?
[Cole] What was going through their mind
when The Big Show left to go up top, grabbed the dumpster above them?
They probably didn't even know what happened until it crushed the car.
[Lawler] What's going on here?
-[Cole] Mankind's looking for Socko, but… -[Lawler] Sure that's what he's doing?
[Cole] Socko's nowhere to be found.
-[Lawler] Oh. -[Cole] And now Val Venis…
[Lawler] I think Mankind just got a little weird on us for a minute.
-[Cole] Val taking advantage. -This is it.
[Cole] Side Russian leg sweep.
Val's in control here.
This would be a huge upset for Val.
And The Big Valbowski climbing to the top rope.
-It could be a money shot here. -[Lawler] Time for the money shot.
[Cole] And if he hits here, folks, it's all over.
-[Lawler] Oh no! -[Cole] Nobody home.
Mankind with the wherewithal to roll out of the way.
[Lawler] Come on, Val. You can do it. Suck it up.
[Cole] But that left shoulder of Mankind, seriously injured.
-[Lawler] What's this idiot doing? -[Cole] It's Al Snow with… He's got Socko.
-[Lawler] What? -[Cole] Al Snow has Socko.
[Lawler] No. Look out, Val.
He's got that stinking, slimy, smelly, mildewed sock.
[Cole] And Mankind with the sock again.
[Lawler] Oh no.
[Cole] Shoved into the mouth of Val Venis.
-[Lawler] Yes! -[Cole] Val trying to hammer away now.
[Lawler] Come on, Val. You've had worse in your mouth. Oh no!
[Cole] There's another one. Another one.
[Lawler] He's got him.
[Cole] Mr. Socko shoved into the gullet of Val Venis.
-[Lawler] No. -[Cole] Val's down.
Shoulders are down.
-Can he do it? Yes! -[Lawler] No!
[bell ringing]
[Cole] Mankind and Mr. Socko defeat Val Venis.
[announcer] Here is your winner, Mankind.
[Lawler] Oh, Mankind, Socko, and that idiot Al Snow.
Boy, that Al Snow's been busy tonight, has he?
[Cole] First he set up Prince Albert and the Big Boss Man,
and now he helps out his buddy Mankind.
[Lawler] I hope Albert and the Boss Man are okay.
[Cole] Prince Albert and the Big Boss Man on their way to a local medical center
as Mankind here picks up a big victory over Val Venis.
[Lawler] Thanks to that idiot Al Snow.
[Cole] Thumbs up from Mankind to his pal Al Snow.
-Billy, are you okay? -Hey.
-I'm fine. I'm fine. -Sure? Can you walk?
-Sure? -Yeah.
-You need anything? -I'm fine.
-At least you didn't step in a bear trap. -Hey, look, man, we just…
Hey, we just gotta keep this thing tight and stay together.
Stay together, right.
Exactly what we're gonna do. We're gonna stick together.
I'm telling you guys, we are gonna kick Austin's ass tonight.
It's gonna happen tonight. Here's what we're gonna do.
-[phone ringing] -[Lawler] A phone call?
-Hello? -[Austin] Hey, X-Pac.
Hey. It's Austin. Shut the hell up.
-What? -What?
You listen to the radio, don't you?
-The radio? -[Austin] The radio.
-You know Casey Kasem, right? -Yeah.
[Austin] Yeah. I'm gonna give you a message from him.
Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.
-Reaching, what? -[Austin] Yeah.
Yeah, keep reaching for the stars. You know what I mean.
Reaching for the stars?
Oh, son of a bitch!
[Lawler] What is this?
[Cole] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has struck again.
[Lawler] The roof just fell in on X-Pac's head.
[Cole] The roof's fallen in on DX here tonight.
Austin, you son of a [bleep].
You got no [bleep].
-Do you hear me? -This is too much. God damn.
You all right, kid?
[Cole] Back on SmackDown, look what's happened here tonight.
If you're a rattlesnake and you're backed into the corner, you're gotta strike,
and that's what Austin's been doing all night long.
[Lawler] He struck all right. Look at this.
First off, he trapped the Road Dogg's leg in a bear trap,
then poured beer on the wound.
And then the next thing you know,
he snared "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn upside down.
He left him hanging. It was awful.
[Cole] Well, King, this night started with the Rattlesnake the hunted,
DX the hunter.
Oh boy, have the roles reversed thus far.
[Lawler] And that wasn't all that happened. Look at this.
Austin calls X-Pac on the phone,
then had the ceiling fall in on him.
[Cole] Well, King, you have to admit the sky is falling in on D-Generation X.
DX has been decimated by Stone Cold here tonight.
[Lawler] Just unbelievable. Wait.
They're the walking wounded all right, but listen to this.
Maybe, Michael-- Maybe they are still walking. Yes.
-[Cole] They are walking. -[Lawler] Yes.
[Cole] There's Triple H.
[Lawler] He's the only one that hasn't been hit tonight.
[Cole] Yeah, but the bottom line, and you hit the nail on the head, King,
is DX is still walking.
-[Lawler] Right. -And there are still four members of DX
and there's only one Rattlesnake.
[Lawler] Look at poor Road Dogg, nearly crippled.
Ladies and gentlemen, making their way to the ring,
the Road Dogg, X-Pac, Mr. Ass, and Triple H,
D-Generation X.
[Cole] The irony of this all, King,
is the ring may actually be the safest place for DX here tonight.
[Lawler] Oh, I guess you think that's funny.
[Cole] I don't think it's funny. I think Triple H came out here earlier on
and proclaimed that DX was taking over World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Lawler] What a snake that Austin is.
[Cole] They hit The Rock, they hit Kane, they tried to hit Austin,
but Austin's been hit-and-running all night long.
[Lawler] What are these guys gonna do now?
[Cole] And Triple H does not look happy.
[Lawler] Half of that ceiling is still in the hair of X-Pac.
Look at the knee on Mr. Ass.
-[Cole] The calf of Road Dogg. -Cut the music.
[Lawler] Uh-oh. Here we go.
All right, Austin, this is it.
This crap's gonna stop right now.
You wanna play games with us?
You wanna set bear traps and set rope traps,
and drop ceilings on us?
Austin, you wanna play games with us?
Well, if I've said it once, I've said it a million times,
I am the game.
-[crowd booing] -[Lawler] That's right.
In this ring, D-Generation X stands now not beaten but united.
Now, we've already taken care of The Rock.
We sent him packing to destination unknown.
[Lawler] They did that all right, Michael. They got rid of The Rock tonight.
And Kane is off licking his wounds somewhere.
Well, it doesn't stop there because Austin is next.
[Lawler] What?
Now, I know the kind of man you are, Austin,
and basically you're a coward.
You don't have the guts to come out here
and stand face-to-face with the four of us like a man.
You've got to attack us from behind.
You've gotta cheap shot.
For all I know, you could be sitting under this very ring.
-[Lawler] Wait. -[Cole] Wait a minute.
-[Lawler] He could be under the ring. -[Cole] He could be.
Austin's been everywhere else tonight, it seems.
-[Lawler] They're gonna check it out. -[Cole] Wait a minute.
Mr. Ass, now, looking under the ring.
[Lawler] What if Austin pops out? Get ready to run, Michael.
[Cole] Well, Triple H looks a little, uh… a little nervous in there.
[Lawler] Wouldn't you be nervous if the ceiling fell in on you
or there's a bear trap on your leg or you got caught in a rope snare?
-[Cole] Damn straight. -All right, well…
Well, if you're not under the ring,
I know you're here somewhere, Austin.
So I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do.
[crowd chatter]
I'm gonna give you a fighting chance to be a man.
Steve Austin, suck 'em up into your gut one time
and show some [bleep].
Walk to the ring and stand face-to-face with the four of us
and let's end this crap once and for all.
[Cole] Oh my gosh.
Triple H is calling Austin out.
Austin, I'm gonna give you till the count of ten.
If you do not come out,
we're gonna come back there, beat your ass,
drag your ass to the ring,
and show you like the coward you are in front of the world.
-One, two… -[Lawler] They'll do it too, Michael.
-[Cole] The countdown's on, King. -Three.
-[Cole] I mean, it's four-on-one. -Four.
-[Cole] Austin… Austin, can't come out. -Five.
-[Lawler] Come on. These guys are hurt! -Six.
-What's the matter, Austin? You scared? -[Cole] They're still standing.
-And it is four-on-one. -Shut the hell up. I'm counting.
[crowd cheering]
Where was I?
[Lawler] Eight.
Nine, ten.
-Puss. -[Lawler] I knew it.
[Cole] Austin's not coming out.
-[glass shattering] -["I Wont Do What You Tell Me" playing]
-[Lawler] What? -[Cole] Wait a minute. It's Austin.
It's his… It's Austin's music.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh. Get ready, Michael.
[Cole] And there's the Rattlesnake.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
He's not backing down, even though the odds are four-on-one.
[Lawler] And look at this, Michael.
He's still drinking. He's been drinking all night.
This is gonna be an ugly situation.
[Cole] The Rattlesnake has been hit-and-running on DX all night long,
but right now, he's face-to-face with D-Generation X.
-[crowd cheering] -[inaudible]
[Lawler] And Triple H,
he's begging Austin to come on down to the ring.
[Cole] You know Stone Cold,
he'll take his sweet old time doing whatever he wants to do.
[music continues, fades]
I've been in the back
listening to you flap your gums,
running your mouth all night long about how DX is back.
Well, Stone Cold don't give a rat's ass about all that.
-[Lawler] Oh my gosh. -[crowd cheering]
You come out here and say you're the game
and that you're taking over World Wrestling Entertainment?
Well, uh-uh, that just ain't gonna happen.
[crowd cheering]
Look at you, four pieces of trash.
I go backstage, I set a bear trap
thinking I'm gonna catch a bear, and I catch a jackass.
-[Lawler] What? -[crowd cheering]
It's Road Dogg.
[Austin] Don't get hot, you little [bleep].
"Badd Ass" Billy Gunn, they oughta call you "Dumbass" Billy Gunn
because you fall for the old "snare on the ground" trick
and you're hanging upside down back there.
You silly [bleep].
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Oh.
Well, X-Pac, the only thing I like about you is your name
'cause it sounds almost like a six-pack,
-but you're so damn stupid… -[crowd cheering]
You're so damn stupid, I give you the old Casey Kasem line,
"Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars."
You look up there,
the whole ceiling falls down on your little sorry ass.
[Lawler] Yeah, thanks to you, you Rattlesnake.
-[crowd cheering] -[inaudible]
As far as you go, Triple H, why the long face?
You got the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship.
You're running the show out there, but you don't impress me one bit.
So if you want me to run down there,
open up a can of whoop-ass on DX,
give me a "hell yeah."
-[crowd] Hell yeah! -[Cole] Oh no.
[Lawler] What? You don't want him to come down there?
I do.
Hell, yeah, 'cause I wanna see you try.
-Come on. -[Lawler] That's right.
[Cole] The Rattlesnake can't do this, King. It's four-on-one.
[Lawler] Yeah, he can. Come on.
-[Cole] I don't care if DX is wounded. -[Lawler] He's the toughest SOB.
-Let him prove it. -He may be.
But come on, DX, it's four-on-one.
If you think DX sucks, give me a "hell, yeah."
-[crowd] Hell, yeah! -[Lawler] What?
-[Cole] You know what the crowd thinks. -[Lawler] DX does not suck.
-[Cole] Wait a minute. -What?
[Cole] Wait a minute. Austin! Austin has netted DX.
-[Lawler] What's happened? -The tables are even.
It's even money now.
[Lawler] Another trap by Austin.
-[Cole] Austin has trapped DX. -Oh. Look at this.
-[Cole] Triple H is out. -Get him.
[Cole] Triple H is out.
And Austin and Triple H exchanging blows.
[Lawler] Get out of there! Get on him.
[Cole] Austin stomping Triple H.
DX is caught up in the net.
Austin has netted DX.
[crowd cheering]
-Look at Austin go. -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[Cole] Wait a minute.
-[Lawler] Oh my God! -[Cole] It's Kane.
Kane is back.
We thought he left the building, but Kane is back.
[Lawler] DX, look out. Kane's here.
-Oh! -[Cole] And there's gonna be hell to pay.
[Lawler] He got X-Pac.
[Cole] The Big Red Machine and Stone Cold hammering away on DX.
Oh my.
♪ If ya smell… ♪
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
Oh no. Not The Rock too.
[Cole] The Rock is here.
The People's Champ is here.
[Lawler] Where did The Rock come from?
[Cole] And DX is taking it on the chin here on SmackDown.
[Lawler] Oh, I gotta believe that Triple H has got something up his sleeve here.
He'll have to. He's still the WWE Champion.
-[Cole] Oh! -[Lawler] Sometimes you get stunned!
[Cole] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin set the trap.
DX fell for it.
What a wild ride it's been on SmackDown.
[Lawler] Another stunner. Oh no. Not the chokeslam from hell.
[Cole] Austin, Kane, and The Rock have taken out DX.
