Hunter, you're gonna love this.
This is the best footage.
I'm like Scorsese the way I put this together.
Come on, come on.
You gotta see this. You guys gotta see this.
Dogg taped the show Monday night.
-Oh. -Yeah, come on.
And, really, this is some of the best stuff he has ever done.
This is the opening of the show.
-Oh! -Right off the get-go,
this just dominating the show.
-Behind curtain number one, we have… -[Ross] Wait a minute.
-There's Triple H! -[Lawler] Yes!
[Ross] And then, wait, it's DX.
It's all four members of DX.
Kid kicks him right in the face.
He was like, "Not the face! The face."
[Triple H] I am just trash talking into the match right here.
Okay, something interesting here.
McMahon comes out here, watch him try to get--
-look at this. -[growling]
Your nose went right in his…
[announcer] Vince McMahon and Triple H gone nose to nose.
In the face… [indistinct]
-He hates us more than anybody. -[Triple H] Rightfully so.
How's his halitosis right there?
[Triple H] He is killing me.
We're not going to have another DX night.
-What you're going to have is-- -Shut the hell up.
-We need to get him… -What a jack[bleep].
-Right. -[mocking McMahon]
[in high-pitched voice] "I love you, you're the best."
[laughter]
-[all exclaim] -I want to hear that.
You know that fire he was in?
Well, that ain't the only thing that got burned.
-If you know what I mean? -[Lawler] What?
-[all laugh] -[lion roars]
What? What is that?
-[raspy laughter] -[narrator] Nature takes a few…
Did you forget a spot here on the tape?
[chuckles] How am I responsible for this?
It's an old tape, just fast--
It's my mom's tape, just fast forward.
I had no idea those things were hung like that.
[laughs] Well, you do now, fast forward to me.
What's that [bleep] name that's got a crush on you?
What's her name, Tori?
[Lawler] Oh my gosh.
Well, sorry, man.
I had to tell her the whole truth about the fire.
Oh! [laughs] Oh, you didn't have to tell her the whole truth.
-Why? -About your biscuit being burnt.
-That's just cold. -[Lawler] Another Bronco Buster!
-[all cheer and exclaim] -[bleep]
I'll have grilled dove breast with a side of man chowder.
-[laughter] -Big Red Pedigree.
[shouting]
-It's a family reunion. Very nice! -Beautiful.
Would you stay the hell out of this?
-Yay! -Test married that McMahon broad.
-Get rid of this crap. -I heard it was a shotgun wedding anyway.
Look, is that-- [groans mockingly] Oh, my eye!
[X-Pac] Cheater, cheater, I'm a bleeder.
-[laughter] -[Triple H] Hey, hey, is it just me--
Stop right here. Is it just me or are we just kicking everybody's [bleep]?
-Everybody's [bleep]. -[bleep] Everybody.
Tell me it wasn't our night.
Yeah.
-[Triple H] Where is security… -Yeah, where is security?
…when stuff like this is going on?
Right, they just let people in our locker room anyway.
[chuckling]
-There he goes, look at the way… -[overlapping chatter]
You're going to defend that WWE title, right here tonight!
It's past when you yell at him right here
to take his shirt off and show him the rifles.
[mocking McMahon complaining]
[overlapping chatter]
Look, he [bleep] himself right there.
-Don't you touch my dad-- -Agh!
[mockingly] You're yelling at my daddy.
-Spazz Boys… [indistinct] -Hey.
-[shouting] -I want you, I want you!
-[overlapping shouting] -[bleep]
You want a piece of me?
-That is hard throwing. -Look at your arms. [indistinct]
Violence doesn't solve anything.
It is not the answer.
-But I should be-- -[laughs]
-A little violence on us-- -Oh man, he looks serious.
-What's good for the goose. -He's mad.
Why does he swing his arms like that?
-[overlapping chatter] -They're from the bad part of Greenwich.
-[bleep] -Headmaster, Steve Austin.
Of course he can't come down there by himself,
he's got to try to bring some kind of army.
-Secondary [bleep]. -[phone ringing]
This is probably my agent telling me--
And the back [bleep] of the whole deal…
-The Rock. -The Rock!
Notice he doesn't get in the ring right here or I'd have beat his [bleep].
[Lawler] Look at him. He's coming down!
[Ross] Here we go! The WWE title on the line!
Vince baited me, like, talking some crap.
Had me dazed with his breath.
-Smack! [laughter] -Shane comes in and jumps me.
Jumped you? Hit you like a girl seven times.
-Boom! Boo yeah! -[laughter]
-Hello. -Not in the face.
-He just likes it, hell of a beating. -Ooh!
-[cheering crowd] -One thing about those McMahons,
-they will take a [bleep] kicking. -Every time!
-[thud] -[crowd clamoring]
[Triple H] He got about as much fight as a school girl.
I want you guys to watch this very carefully, right here.
Vince McMahon is a skilled technician.
Comes into the ring, he's a little confused, not sure where he is.
-He's not comfortable. -What am I going to do?
Should I cheat? Should I-- What should I--
-Oh! -[overlapping exclamations]
Oh, I just hit my own kid right in the head.
And then, how do you ensure that he'll never have kids again?
[Triple H] Hey, you don't know how hard it was to aim for those little things.
-[bell rings] -[Ross] Triple H retains the title.
[Lawler] Look at Vince, he's down!
[woman announcer] And still, the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
Triple H!
[Lawler] So going into SmackDown, this Thursday night,
Triple H is still a WWE Champion.
[Ross] But King, I hope that-- I hope that this…
-shot to Shane's head was accidental. -[Lawler] Oh my God.
"I hope that the shot…" Hey, what did JR mean by that?
"I hope the shot on Shane was accidental."
-[laughter] -That JR is quick.
He's clever.
[Ross] …or the smackdown there.
["Everybody on the Ground" playing]
[fireworks crackling and popping]
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] As D-Generation X celebrates what it's calling
a huge night this past Monday on Raw,
we welcome you to SmackDown.
Michael Cole, Jerry "The King" Lawler at ringside
at the sold out First Union Center in Philadelphia.
And King, this mass of WWE fans
is nothing short of electric.
[Lawler] Yeah.
[crowd roaring]
[Lawler] Oh no!
[rock theme music playing]
[Cole] And what a way to kick off SmackDown!
Mankind and Al Snow,
the tag team titles on the line right here tonight.
[bell dinging]
[announcer] Following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is
for the World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Championship.
Introducing the challengers, at a combined weight of 533 pounds,
Al Snow and Mankind!
[Cole] And, King, just when we think we've seen it all,
another biased, un-researched and unbased attack on the WWE
-by the news media. -[Lawler] What?
[Cole] A college instructor writing in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
this past Sunday
that Al Snow's action figure, which you can see right here,
is a gruesome toy which sends the wrong message to kids.
Now they attack Head and listen to this quote.
"Can playing with a woman's severed head
serve as anything but a training manual for future spousal abusers?"
[Lawler] Wait a minute, a woman's severed head, do they not get it, Michael?
This is a mannequin's head!
This is a mannequin that beauticians practice on.
[Cole] And listen to this quote.
"The most obvious conclusion is that the package contains a female victim
who did not survive her encounter with the muscle figures who surround her."
[Lawler] Man, I tell you, the only thing gruesome about this
is Al Snow's face on this, on this doll.
You know what? Walmart just hasn't been the same
-since Sam Walton kicked the bucket. -[announcer] At a combined weight
of well over 800 pounds,
they are the World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Champions,
Crash and Hardcore Holly.
[Cole] And King, of course, what you are referring to is
because of this article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution,
Walmart has pulled this action figure off the shelf.
Give me a break!
[Lawler] I just don't get it, no, like, they don't get it.
[Cole] They don't get it at all.
Well, folks, get this, Hardcore Holly and Crash
defending the tag team title against Mankind and Al Snow.
And for Mankind and Al Snow, it's not about being partners,
it's about being best buddies.
Mankind and Al Snow fresh off the big hardcore match victory,
tag team victory over the Big Boss Man and Prince Albert
this past Monday night on Raw.
And speaking of the Boss Man, what a matchup
tonight here on SmackDown.
Boss Man and The Big Show.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh, Michael, I can't wait for that. It's going to be--
Oh, that may be gruesome.
[Cole] So it's going to be Al Snow starting things off
against the super heavyweight Hardcore Holly.
Tremendous opportunity for Al Snow and Mankind here
as Hardcore Holly is backed into the ropes.
[Lawler] The only thing bad about this doll situation
or this action figure situation with Al Snow is,
all this controversy, it's going to make everybody go out,
and it's going to become highly collectible.
-He'll make a fortune on royalties. -Of course he will.
[Cole] And look at this now, Atomic Drop on Hardcore Holly
and Al Snow with a big right hand and another one.
King, what about D-Generation X
putting their spin on the events of this past Monday night?
[Lawler] What do you mean, their spin?
[Cole] Well, that's what it was.
[Lawler] DX told it like it was.
You're telling me what they were saying didn't happen?
[Cole] I have to wonder what Vince McMahon thinks about this celebration,
and wait a minute,
-there you see Val Venis looking on… -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[Cole] …and it was Val Venis on Monday night
who burned Mankind's books in that trash container,
the autobiography, Mankind's life work.
I understand, you had a nice little trip with Mankind
to the White House the other day.
[Lawler] You gotta be kidding me, a nice little trip?
I had a nice trip planned till that idiot insinuated himself.
I've never been so embarrassed in my life, Michael.
-[Cole] Who'd you plan it with, that trip? -[Lawler] I was gonna take
one of the most beautiful women in the WWE, Miss Kitty.
-[Cole] Really? -[Lawler] Yeah.
We're are all in the limos set to go and who shows up at the last minute?
Mankind…
with a couple of his books, autographed for the president.
[Cole] Al Snow with a right hand to Crash, tag titles are on the line here.
Al whipped of the ropes, Crash ducks underneath.
Here comes Al now. Wow!
Closed fist.
Oh, look at Hardcore, referee's back turned,
leveling Al Snow, Mankind now in the ring,
and here now the double-team by the Holly cousins.
[Lawler] Well, I'm just, I-- I-- I'm-- I'm feeling really frightened now
about this whole Mankind/Al Snow team.
I thought The Rock 'N' Sock Connection was bad,
but this could be disastrous if these two get together.
[Cole] Tremendous strength here by Hardcore Holly.
Al Snow up there a tremendous amount of time.
[Lawler] Al Snow and Mankind, there's not a half a brain between them.
Look at this! Oh man!
There you go.
Two former Hardcore Champions in the ring,
Hardcore Holly and Al Snow.
The super heavyweight like Hardcore Holly,
he can hold Al Snow upside down as long as he wants to.
[Cole] Who knows what's going to happen here tonight on SmackDown, folks.
D-Generation X is here in full force.
We saw at the top of the show,
Vince McMahon yet to arrive, but he is expected
a little bit later on.
[Lawler] Well, last Monday night, DX said it was their night, you know,
Thursday night SmackDown, it may be their night again tonight.
Al Snow off the ropes, big shoulder to take down Hardcore Holly.
Here is Al Snow again up over the top.
[Lawler] Oh, what a drop kick!
[Cole] Standing drop kick by Holly,
right elevation under the chin.
[Lawler] That was nice!
Come on, clap your hands, Michael.
[Cole] Can you believe we're just ten days away
from Survivor Series on Pay-Per-View
in the Triple Threat Match
for the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship?
-[Lawler] Wow. -Crash Holly, top rope, double-team
right into the ribs of Al Snow.
This Crash Holly, tremendous competitor for his size,
-take down drop kick, back of the head. -[Lawler laughs]
[Lawler] He can really get up there on those drop kicks too.
Look at this! Oh! [laughs] He's hardcore.
[Cole] That was a wise move,
drew Mankind out of the corner, allows the Holly cousins to double-team again.
Al isolated in the corner.
[Lawler] Well, I'll tell you, Mankind and Al Snow
can be as good of buddies, as thick as thieves,
but always remember blood's thicker than water
and these guys are cousins, the Hollys.
They think alike, they look alike and they fight alike.
They are not kissing cousins though.
What? Are you perverted or what? Come on.
Atomic Drop now on Al Snow,
tag team titles on the line here on SmackDown,
-and what a clothesline by Hardcore. -[Lawler] Beautiful, beautiful.
Cover now, there's one, there's two,
Al Snow kicks out before the count of three.
[Lawler] Speaking of perverted, look at that mug.
[Cole] The Hollys are fighting champions, always putting those tag titles
-on the line. -[Lawler] Oh no!
Hardcore walked into that one. Cover now, two, and a kick-out!
-Almost three. -[Lawler] That was close.
[Cole] Oh, great leg sweep that time by Al.
Hardcore Holly, shot to the eyes.
-[thud] -[shouts]
[Lawler] Look at Mankind standing there with that tattered shirt.
Can you believe he's a bestselling author?
[Cole] Number three on the New York Times Best Seller List.
-[Lawler groans] -Don't get much better than that.
[Lawler] A literary big shot-- Oh! Oh no.
[Cole] Hardcore felt that one, and Al Snow now, can he take advantage?
Oh no, top rope.
-Al setting up Hardcore here. -[Lawler] This is gonna be bad.
-[Cole] Look out! Suplex! -[Lawler] Al, no!
[Cole] Oh my, what impact from the top rope!
Al Snow with a great suplex.
[Lawler] That hurt Al Snow too.
-[Cole] Both men are down. -[Lawler] I told you Al Snow is an idiot.
Can you imagine the impact from the top rope,
both men slamming off the mat?
Wait a minute, shoulders are down.
Both men got their shoulders up before the count of three.
[Lawler] I can't imagine the impact
Mankind's Have a Nice Day is having on the authors around the world,
the real authors.
[Cole] Take another look at this, King.
Yes, what impact, what a suplex by Al Snow and Mankind,
-now off the tag into the ring… -[Lawler] Oh no.
…and Mankind going to work on the Holly cousins.
-[Lawler] Oh! -[Cole] Crash into the turnbuckle.
Al Snow dumps Hardcore Holly out of the ring on the other side.
And look at Mankind go.
-Crash Holly beat into the turnbuckle. -[Lawler] Get in there, ref.
Look out, Crash. This is gonna be bad.
-Oh! -[Cole] Kick to the midsection.
-Mankind off the ropes now. -[Lawler] No!
-There's that knee lift to the chin. -[Lawler] Oh no.
-[crowd roars] -[Cole] Oh, wait a minute.
[Lawler] Wait a minute, Michael, this is what I'm talking about.
[Cole] It's Socko time.
[Lawler] It's stinking slimy, smelly Socko-- Oh, look out!
[Cole] Mr. Socko in the gullet of Crash, hit Hardcore from behind.
[Lawler] Thank goodness.
[Cole] Hardcore makes the save, all four men in the ring now.
WWE tag team titles on the line here.
[Lawler] Come on. Oh, this is going to be good.
-[Cole] Mankind reversal. -[Lawler] Look out!
Al Snow knocked down Hardcore Holly and Crash.
Mankind sets the move, DDT, double arm,
hooks the leg, there's two, it's over!
-[crowd roars] -[Cole] It's over! Mankind and Al Snow,
the best friends have won the tag team titles.
[announcer] And the new
World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Champions,
Al Snow and Mankind.
-[Cole] Can you believe it, King? -[Lawler] I don't want to believe it.
[Cole] Al Snow has done it.
-[Lawler] No, he didn't. -[Cole] Mankind's done it.
They climbed the tag team mountain,
and the Hollys outside the ring arguing with each other.
They can't believe it, exchanging blows.
[Lawler] They're fighting, they're at each other now.
I knew this was going to happen.
[Cole] Hardcore and Crash upset with one another.
[Lawler] It caused a family rift.
[Cole] But the bottom line here, King,
is Mankind and Al Snow
are now WWE Tag Team Champions.
What a way to kick off SmackDown,
and King, with the addition of DX being in the house here tonight.
It's been highly anticipated.
Finally, The Big Show gets his hands on the Boss Man.
[Lawler] There's absolutely no telling what is going to happen
when these two get together.
[Cole] Big Show and Boss Man
and everything Boss Man has done to the Show in the recent weeks.
Who knows what's going to happen in that encounter,
right here from Philadelphia.
Wait a minute.
-Turn the corner, there it was. -[Cole] What's this?
Take a shot, easiest buck I ever killed. Easiest buck I ever killed.
-What else is on your mind? -Well, I appreciate the story,
but what I want to ask you about is last Monday, when we went off the air,
you said, "I hope what Vince McMahon did to Shane was an accident."
What the hell was that all about?
You know, Steve, I think I spoke too soon.
You know, I keep thinking back to the Mr. McMahon of old,
and you know, a lot of things he did wasn't coincidental.
You know, hell, I didn't mean nothing by it.
That's all it was.
Yeah, I didn't mean anything by it.
-Good enough. -Okay.
-We're the champions! -[Cole] We're back on SmackDown,
and King, the new Tag Team Champions toasting their victory,
Al Snow and Mankind.
-Oh my gosh. -We are the champions.
We are the champions of the world.
Of the world.
-Champagne! Champagne! -[cheering]
No, no, wait, we don't have champagne,
we've got good wholesome 100% pure American whole milk.
-[laughs] -[Lawler] Milk?
Right there, brother. Nothing but the best.
[Lawler laughs] What idiots!
I'd like to hang out, but there's business that I got to finish.
Where you going? The party's just begun.
-We're gonna get the JVC Kaboom Box. -I've seen you look like that before.
-Gonna play KC and the Sunshine Band. -I got business.
-Oh man, come on back. -[Lawler] Where's he--
[Cole] Mankind said he had business to take care of.
[Lawler] He leaves probably the biggest and only celebration
he'll have… ever have in his life?
[Cole] Al Snow and Mankind, the new Tag Team Champions.
[announcer] …scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring, he weighs in at 282 pounds, Test!
[Cole] And here comes Stephanie McMahon's fiancé, Test,
and what a wonderful night, King, this past Monday night on Raw
for Test and Stephanie.
Usually, the man proposes.
But this time, it was the other way around.
[Lawler] I can't believe it.
So I'm gonna break from tradition.
Andrew,
will you marry me?
[crowd cheers]
Steph, of course, I love you.
[Lawler] Oh please, Michael. I almost regurgitated when I saw that.
What is poor Stephanie thinking?
I mean, that was-- You got to tell me, that was gross, right?
[Cole] I'll tell you what, King.
Test accepted the proposal, and listen to this.
Announcing tonight on SmackDown for the first time,
the wedding date's been set. It will be November 29th
at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, live on Raw is War.
Oh, you got to be kidding.
Stephanie, please reconsider. You gotta think about this.
-November 29th? -[Cole] Yes, and King, look at this.
Here's a look at the invitation
for the wedding of Test and Stephanie McMahon.
The world is invited, including you.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh.
[Cole] Well, that's going to be a great night in Los Angeles, live on Raw,
the 29th of November, Test and Stephanie to wed.
[announcer] And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois,
weighing in at 268 pounds,
D'Lo Brown.
[Lawler] That reminds me of the first time I got married.
Got married by a judge, I should have asked for a jury.
[Cole] So, D'Lo Brown set to take on Test, the former European Champion.
I can tell you, folks,
there is some excitement here in Philadelphia for SmackDown tonight,
just like there is going to be excitement Friday night.
Rupp Arena, Lexington, Kentucky.
The Rock headlines a huge card.
We head to Raleigh on Saturday.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin will be there,
and Hershey on Sunday, Hershey, Pennsylvania on Sunday.
You know Test has been, last few days,
seeing him bouncing around in the locker room earlier on today,
he is on cloud nine.
[Lawler] Oh, give me a break.
[Cole] It's going to be a good matchup,
and, King, who do you think is going to win this one?
I'm predicting that Test's head is in the clouds.
All he's thinking about is that big wedding day, November 29th,
and I guarantee D'Lo is going to upset him.
He's gonna beat him right here, it won't even be an upset.
-[Cole] D'Lo off the ropes. -I'm picking D'Lo.
[Cole] Shoulder take down by D'Lo Brown.
Highly athletic for his frame,
285 pounder! Big back body drop by Test.
[Lawler] Hey, D'Lo, I picked you, come on.
[Cole] I guarantee it's going to be a wild night.
It's taken awhile.
What in the world are they doing out here, the Mean Street Posse.
[Lawler] Well. They can, uh--
It's a free country. They can go anywhere they want to.
[Cole] D'Lo Brown looks distracted. Wait a minute.
Yeah, if they're booing him.
What are they saying up there?
I mean, he just makes me sick.
-Look at him laying there with that-- -He's such a loser.
-He's a monkey, look at him. -The hair, I mean--
-[Rodney] The hair-- -Come on.
-[Lawler] They're talking about Test. -Of course they are.
[Cole] There's a big issue between the Posse and Test
over the past few months.
And look at this, great maneuver by Test.
[Lawler] Well, let's face it, Joey Abs used to be Stephanie's boyfriend,
of course, and, you know, they dated and…
[Cole] You know, I wouldn't even call him a boyfriend
or dated, they went out one time,
and it was setup by, you know, Stephanie's brother.
It didn't work out.
[Lawler] Listen, what are they saying up there?
[Rodney] …get ass warts on his ass.
-[Cole] Oh, come on. -[Lawler giggling]
[Rodney] He's got-- look at-- I mean, it's disgusting.
[Cole] Wait a minute, cover here by Test, there's two,
D'Lo gets the shoulder up.
-I've seen him in the locker room. -What?
That kid has got flamingo legs.
-Flamingo legs? -Yeah.
They're talking about Test.
[Cole] They're pretty bold, King, when Test can't hear them.
Oh my! Great counter by D'Lo on the neck breaker.
[horn sounds]
And D'Lo Brown in control, here's the cover now on Test.
Hooks the leg, there's one, there's two,
and Test gets the shoulder up right before the count of three.
[Rodney] How many people do you know…
D'Lo Brown a bit put off as well that the Posse are up there,
and there's a right hand by D'Lo.
[Lawler] You know, I would really like to hear what the Posse are saying,
it's probably more interesting than what you're saying, Michael Cole.
[Posse chattering and laughing]
I can't believe this.
Oh!
[Rodney] D'Lo better get up from that, that's all I know.
-That's ridiculous, I mean-- -Look at that.
-D'Lo should be handling this guy. -[Lawler] What if they were to have kids?
-Test and Stephanie? -Can you imagine?
They'd be beautiful children.
Oh, give me a break. When Test was a baby, he was so ugly
he had to have tinted windows on his incubator.
[Cole] Come on, King.
D'Lo, nice cross body.
Caught him with a heel kick that time under the chin,
and D'Lo in control of Test who's been a bit distracted
by the Posse's presence on the stage.
He's just thinking about the wedding day.
-[Cole] Here comes the leg drop. -[Lawler] Here we go, yes!
D'Lo rolls into the cover,
hooks the leg, could be it, two…
Test just gets the shoulder up before the count of three.
[Lawler] Come on, ref, I picked D'Lo.
-You know he's pointing at you, right? -He shops at Kmart.
-But why's he pointing at you though? -I don't know.
That's another reason why he's marrying Stephanie. Come on.
[Cole] Pete Gas talking about shopping at Kmart, look at his sweater.
And here's D'Lo, top rope, axe hammer, wait a minute!
Wait a minute, D'Lo landed wrong,
-and he clutched that left knee of his. -[D'Lo yelling]
And perhaps, D'Lo blew out the knee.
-Test leaning over D'Lo. -[Lawler] He's hurt.
[Cole] Yeah, D'Lo look like he may have blown out his knee
coming off the top rope.
Look like he may have landed wrong.
-Hyperextended it a little. -Referee checking on him.
-Wait a minute. -Oh, look at this.
[Cole] D'Lo rolls Test over, here is the cover now.
-[Lawler cackles] Did you see that? -[bell ringing]
[Cole] Yeah, D'Lo got him.
That was count of three, D'Lo Brown.
[announcer] Here is your winner, D'Lo Brown.
[Cole] D'Lo upset Test, what a competitive instinct of D'Lo,
obviously just took over as he rolled up Test there
after blowing out his knee.
[Lawler] I told you, Test didn't have his mind on this match.
He got beat by a one-legged guy.
Come on, King, Test-- you can see the concern.
Test just showed a little compassion there.
Oh, yeah, that's Test and all of those,
I guess, he's a little bit in touch with his,
well, I won't say feminine side,
but he's a little too emotional of late, now that he's all in love.
[Cole] For one moment there,
Test, he went to Andrew Martin,
and Andrew Martin was a bit concerned about D'Lo Brown.
And now Test is going to help D'Lo up who--
Well, he really helped.
[Lawler] Watch out, Test will probably try to attack D'Lo now.
Test is a sore loser, I know that's for sure.
[Cole] Well, D'Lo picks up the win over Test, but he may have lost the war.
Looked like he injured that left knee, coming off the rope in.
[Lawler] Wait, wait, wait.
Come on, man. What are you doing up here? Get out of here.
Where's he at, in his room? Is he here?
He left the building, champ.
We got to hang out again, like the old days.
Yeah, have a drink, freak.
I don't partake in alcohol, you jerks.
That's what's wrong with you, you need a drink.
[Mankind] I can't hear you, I can't hear you.
Look, I just wish you'd calm down about this.
You know, everybody's making a huge deal out of this.
I told you the same thing that I told Austin earlier tonight.
Well, let The Rock tell you this, know your role and shut your mouth.
The Rock just wants to know when we went off the air last Monday night,
you had said you hoped that Vince hitting Shane in the head
with the title belt was an accident.
What in the living hell did you mean by that?
I think I spoke too soon, it's as simple as that.
I thought about the Mr. McMahon of old,
and the Mr. McMahon of old--
So, whatever comes, it just comes out of old JR's mouth.
Comes right out of old JR's mouth.
Sometimes it does, Rock, sometimes it does.
Well, The Rock says this, if you're lying to The Rock,
The Rock will take that 10-gallon cowboy hat you got,
fill it back up with monkey [bleep], turn that son of a [bleep] sideways,
and stick it straight up your candy ass.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh, do you hear that?
[man] And now, the WWE Boot of the Week, brought to you by Lugz.
Tough boots built for the city,
that's Lugz.
-[Lawler] Look out! -[Ross] Oh my!
Look at the hang time by Christian. My God!
What a suicidal move by Jeff Hardy.
-The spear by Edge! The leg is hooked. -[Lawler] No!
-And we've got a winner! -[bell ringing]
Edge and Christian, the Hardys win this matchup.
[man] That was the WWE Boot of the Week,
brought to you by Lugz.
Boots and jeans with attitude.
Lugz. Decide and conquer.
[funky music playing]
[Cole] We're back on SmackDown
from the First Union Center in Philadelphia,
and as you just saw in the Lugz Boot of the Week, King,
what a wild match Too Cool was involved in this past Monday night.
[Lawler] Well, it was something else,
but you're going to expect nothing but excitement anytime
you see these two guys
-because they are Too Cool. -[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making their way to the ring with a combined weight of 438 pounds,
Scotty 2 Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay.
Too Cool!
[Cole] Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty.
-[Lawler] Yeah, what? -[Cole] Please.
What's up with that? What?
[Cole] So Too Cool set for tag team action,
and what a night it's already been on SmackDown.
We have new Tag Team Champions, Mankind and Al Snow.
D-Generation X is here in full force.
[announcer] Here comes, being accompanied to the ring by Terri,
at a combined weight of 430 pounds,
Matt and Jeff,
The Hardy Boyz.
[Lawler] Oh baby! Oh, look at that hair.
[Cole] It's the Hardys against Too Cool, and King, I'm getting a really,
a rather uneasy feeling about tonight
here on SmackDown.
I mean, first off, we've seen Mankind roaming around looking for Val Venis.
Apparently, after what Val did to his books Monday night on Raw.
[Lawler] Oh baby. Oh baby.
-Go ahead. -[Cole] Then we saw last week on Raw,
at the end of the show,
Vince McMahon hitting Shane McMahon with the belt
which would appear to be an accident,
but apparently, so far, The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
are wondering if it was an accident after what JR said
-going off the air Monday night. -[Lawler] Okay, okay.
So, JR said… Now, you know, how JR is,
he's always shooting is mouth off, talking without thinking.
He just said he wondered if it was an accident or not,
but of course, it was an accident.
Do you think Vince McMahon would hit his own son on purpose?
[Cole] Nonetheless, with DX here as well,
I don't have a good feeling about tonight here on SmackDown.
[Lawler] Tell you what, when Vince McMahon gets here,
I'll have him tell you himself.
[Cole] Vince is apparently on his way, he's due here on SmackDown.
And look at Scotty 2 Hotty go,
-working on Jeff Hardy. -[Lawler] Oh, look out!
[Cole] And Jeff, tremendous hurricanrana, takes him down.
[Lawler] Scotty 2 Hotty, he's cool.
You just don't get it, Michael, because you're not cool.
If these two are cool, I don't want to be cool.
And here now comes Grandmaster Sexay,
-Brian Christopher. -Don't worry--
-Did you give him that nickname? -Don't worry, because you're not cool.
Do what?
Taylor whipped into the corner, here comes Christopher, big sandwich,
and the Hardys cooking on all cylinders here.
[Lawler] You're so confused tonight, here comes who?
That's Grandmaster Too Sexay.
[Cole] Oh, Jeff flying through the air.
Scott Taylor catches a clothesline by Matt.
And Matt hammering away with the right hands.
Here's the cover now, there's two, and a kick-out, look at Terri.
Oh, yeah. You know what her favorite candy bar is?
-What? -Mounds.
[Lawler laughs] Oh baby.
[Cole] And Taylor now, tags in Christopher.
The Hardys, of course, winning these services of Terri
at the Terri Invitational after a tremendous ladder match.
The greatest in WWE history against Edge and Christian.
Nobody home for Grandmaster Sexay.
-There you go. -And look at this now.
Matt, top rope. Big take down, into the cover now,
hook of the leg, two, and Christopher somehow kicks out.
Will you quit calling him Christopher.
[Cole] And let's take a look at this now.
Moves like this reminiscent of that ladder match.
Oh, to the face by Matt.
And Matt now climbing, second rope, look out now.
-[Lawler] This is dangerous. -[Cole] Went for the Tornado DDT,
-couldn't get it. -[Lawler] That was cool, oh, that's cool.
[Cole] And Terri doesn't like what she sees as she looks on.
-[Lawler] I like what I see. -Of course.
[Lawler] All those curves, all those curves and me with no brakes.
Come here. Why can't Terri come over and sit by us?
-I think you can go. -[Cole] Call her over.
And look at Scott now, up over the top ropes.
Tag made, Jeff in the ring,
and you're going to see some high-flying action here.
Oh my!
-Scotty 2 Hotty is out! -[crowd roars]
And Jeff bringing this Philadelphia crowd to its feet
here on SmackDown.
[Lawler] Look at Scotty, speaking of feet.
And the double-team now, referee's back's turned,
and look at Christopher.
Oh man, over the top rope and into the powerbomb.
Hardy's head crashing off the mat.
[Lawler] The mat? That's the floor, Hardy seems to love it.
-[Lawler cackles] -[crowd roars]
[Lawler squeals] This is cool, that is even cooler.
Oh, let me up there. I wish I was in this match.
-Oh baby. -[Cole] Look at Matt!
Off the stairs with a clothesline.
Knocking Christopher down.
It allows Too Cool to double-team Jeff.
[Lawler] Matt is hot, isn't he? [laughs]
[Cole] You like that, you find that humorous.
What do you mean?
Oh, I guess you don't. You know, that was cool.
That was "Too Cool."
[Cole] Jeff whipped across the ring.
What's he want?
[Lawler] Grandmaster Sexay.
[Cole] What does he need with these goggles?
-He wants to see this in 3D maybe. -Yeah. 3D, all right.
-Oh my! -Oh no!
[Cole] He's going to need it, because he's seeing double now.
Oh no.
And Christopher, second rope turnbuckle.
Taylor wants a tag
and he's going to get it.
And here comes Scott Taylor, and here comes Matt as well.
And Matt with a right hand, and another one to Christopher.
And Matt Hardy gaining momentum.
Christopher scooped up and slammed down.
Matt setting him up and Christopher from behind.
[Lawler] There you go.
[Cole] Jeff injured in the corner.
Double-team by Too Cool.
Matt with a boot to the face,
setting up Christopher, caught him with a neck breaker.
-Oh my! -[Lawler] Wow.
[Cole] Here's the cover on Taylor,
and Christopher breaks up the count.
Will you get the names right?
Grandmaster Sexay breaks up the count.
-Russian leg sweep. -He breaks Hardy's face in the bargain.
[Cole] And Referee Jimmy Koderas explaining to Christopher
he's not the legal man.
Wouldn't count the three that time.
And look out now, Jeff flying through the air,
and that's Christopher over the top rope,
-and Taylor-- -[Lawler] Look at this!
-Doing a dance in the ring. -Look at this in the ring.
-Oh! -Yes!
[Cole] And Scotty 2 Hotty, and look at Terri.
-[Lawler] Oh baby. -[crowd roars]
[Cole] Terri up on the apron,
and I think Scotty 2 Hotty
is going to moonwalk right on over there.
-[Lawler] Yeah, she's a hotty. Hey! -[Cole] Oh!
-Terri with a slap to the face. -[Lawler] What's up with that?
[Cole] Can Matt capitalize now?
Lifts him up and over, nice suplex.
Jeff climbing the ropes, Jeff to the top rope.
-[Lawler] Look out! -[Cole] Senton-- Oh!
-Caught him in the sternum. -[crowd roars]
Get in there, Grandmaster Sexay.
Jeff hooks the leg and it's over.
-[bell ringing] -Terri pays dividends.
Jeff and Matt pick up the win.
[announcer] Your winners, The Hardy Boyz!
-[rock music plays] -[Lawler] Oh baby.
Woo!
What's the matter with you now, huh?
[Cole] She's an attractive woman.
Terri with the assist,
Matt and Jeff with a win,
and Too Cool can't believe it.
I'm going to tell you, this wasn't too cool right here.
Another look at the senton bomb.
Jeff off the top rope with the elevation, head to the sternum,
another look.
[Lawler] It's not the view Hotty Scotty got.
[Cole] High flying team of the Hardys pick up the win.
Hey, wait a minute. And here we are.
Mankind on the search for Val.
Are you looking for Val?
Yeah, and who are you?
He sometimes hangs out at Delilah's.
I have a dog named Delilah.
-Where are you going? -Pleasure Barn.
We're going to Pinky's.
Delilah's. Pleasure Barn. Pinky's.
-Thanks a lot, girls. -You're welcome.
Remember, hugs, not drugs.
-[giggling] -He's so hot.
-He's hot? What? -Are you serious?
-You wish he was hot. I don't even think… -Oh my God.
-[Lawler] Gross. -JR, my concern here is with Kane.
He has already experienced enough trauma
thanks to X-Pac, so please help us. What's going on?
Tori, I understand your concern, and I know where you're going with this.
When we went off the air Monday night on Raw,
I said that I hope when Vince hit his son Shane,
that it was an accident.
I spoke off of the top of my head.
Uh, I spoke too soon.
The same thing I told Austin tonight,
the same thing I told The Rock.
I'm telling you both the truth, I didn't mean anything by it, really.
[man] Olympic Gold Medal Champion,
Kurt Angle.
If I could describe myself in one word,
I'd have to say dedicated
because anytime I dedicate myself to be the best at something,
like I did in amateur wrestling or any other decision I do,
I stay focused on that one goal.
I followed a simple set of rules that have got me a lot of success in life.
I call it "the Three I's."
Intensity, integrity and intelligence.
[man] Kurt Angle, the most celebrated real athlete in WWE history.
[Lawler] Wow, did they say real athlete?
-[Cole] Wait a minute. -Uh-oh.
[Cole] We're at the First Union Center in Philadelphia, here on SmackDown.
-[Lawler] Someone's arriving. -[Cole] A limousine arriving.
It's been a wild night already, folks.
-[Lawler] Who do you think it is? -[Cole] I have no idea.
-There he is, the Chairman… -[Lawler] Okay.
[Cole] …of World Wrestling Entertainment.
Vince McMahon is here on SmackDown,
and maybe now we can get some answers.
[Lawler] Yeah, now we'll get to the bottom of this.
[electronic theme music plays]
[Cole] What is Vince McMahon going to do?
DX with a celebration earlier on, they're here en masse.
Many of the Superstars questioning Jim Ross
for what he said when Raw went off the air Monday night.
Questioning whether Vince hitting Shane with the belt was an accident.
[bell ringing]
[announcer] This fight is scheduled for one fall.
It is for the World Wrestling Entertainment European Championship.
Introducing in the ring, the challenger, from Toronto, Canada,
weighing in at 242 pounds, Edge!
So Edge set to take on Bulldog for the European Championship.
And tonight's SmackDown is brought to you
by LEGO Mindstorms. Robots you control.
[Lawler] And by WWE The Music, Volume 4.

[Cole] And by Arizona Jeans,
at least part of you is comfortable.
[Lawler] Oh yeah.
[dogs barking]
[upbeat theme music plays]
[announcer] And his opponent, from Manchester, England,
weighing in at 250 pounds,
being accompanied by the Mean Street Posse,
here is the World Wrestling Entertainment European Champion,
the British Bulldog.
[Lawler] Michael, we've been graced with the presence
of the Mean Street Posse already twice tonight.
[Cole] So, it's Edge against the Bulldog for the European Championship.
I'm sure the Posse aren't going to be impartial observers
at ringside in this one.
[Lawler] I had no idea that the Mean Street Posse were such witty guys.
[Cole] I don't know about witty. You mean their comments about Test earlier?
[Lawler] You know, Michael, there's actually one too many of us
out here at this broadcast table. I think it's you.
Those guys would make a great broadcast team…
-[bell ringing] -…or a partner for me.
[Cole] You'd love that, wouldn't you?
[Lawler] Well, it would be entertaining at least.
[Cole] European Championship on the line, Bulldog against Edge.
Bulldog winning the European title last week
here on SmackDown, beating D'Lo Brown
thanks to the Mean Street Posse,
Bulldog's new running buddies.
-[Lawler] See, there you go already. -[Cole] What?
[Lawler] You know, casting disparaging remarks on the Posse.
[Cole] Edge a tremendous young athlete.
Ducks underneath Bulldog, he's the much quicker of the two.
Bulldog holds the power! Enzuigiri by Edge.
[Lawler] See that?
[Cole] Vince McMahon has just arrived at the First Union Center in Philadelphia,
and I'm extremely interested in what he's going to have to say about
what's sort of been an interrogation of sorts of Jim Ross.
[Lawler] I can tell you what he's going to say.
I mean, let's face it.
The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Hey, wait a minute.
-Look at this. -[Cole] Look who just showed up.
Edge's partner, his brother Christian.
Wait a minute, cross body,
lateral press, hook of the leg, and a kick-out.
He's got no right to be here.
Where did he come from? Through the crowd again I guess.
[Cole] He's got as much right to be here as the Posse do.
Bulldog with a shot to the small of the back.
We've got company again here.
[Lawler] Wait-- this is-- this is getting kind of strange.
[Cole] It's getting strange all right, but I can tell you this,
the sides are about to get even.
The Headbangers who have a serious history with the Posse,
who upset the Headbangers by cheating
on Sunday Night Heat this past week,
and the Headbangers haven't taken too kindly to it.
[Lawler] I think all of these guys just want to see a great match.
They just want to see this championship, this European title be defended.
[Cole] Look at the strength of the Bulldog.
Edge up there a good five, six, going on seven seconds.
Look at this.
-[Lawler laughs] -The Bulldog going for a Perfect 10.
And Edge felt that one, dropped in the middle of the ring.
[Lawler] He felt it after all the blood had rushed to his head.
[Cole] A volatile situation here at the ring.
You got Christian and the Headbangers, you got the Mean Street Posse.
Bulldog into the cover now, two and kick-out by Edge.
European Championship on the line.
Bulldog, the champion. Edge, the challenger.
[Lawler] It's not necessarily a volatile situation.
I mean, I think the Mean Street Posse can…
they can control their feelings out here,
they're just rooting on the Bulldog.
Look at them, they're like cheerleaders so to speak.
You might take some clothing tips from the Mean Street Posse.
[Cole] Edge with momentum, Edge off the ropes.
Bulldog misses with the right hand, Edge caught him with a heel kick!
Caught him with a heel kick to the chest.
Knocking the wind out of Bulldog,
and Edge trying to win the European Championship.
Oh, what a clothesline.
Knocking Bulldog down.
Come on, Bulldog!
Uh-oh, Edge is so quick, side Russian leg sweep.
[Lawler] You know what's sad about this?
[Cole] What?
[Lawler] Edge has probably never even been to Europe.
-[Cole] Edge climbing the ropes. -Trying to be the European Champion.
Top rope now, Bulldog in trouble,
maybe seeing stars.
What a drop kick! Missile drop kick from the top rope.
Bulldog outside the ring.
[Lawler] Look at this.
[Cole] Christian with a DDT!
[Lawler] Did you see that?
[Cole] Christian leveled Bulldog with a DDT!
Referee never saw it.
And now Posse, spear by Edge!
Here's the cover, hooks the leg, two,
-and Joey Abs breaks up the count. -[Lawler] Whew, that was close.
[Cole] And the Posse and Christian going at it.
Headbangers in the ring and now we've got a free for all.
[Lawler] Come on, ref.
[Cole] Edge had Bulldog beaten with a spear,
and Joey Abs interrupted the count.
[Lawler] Yeah, he gave him a spear
after Christian had done the damage on the Bulldog.
[Cole] The Headbangers single out the Posse.
Pete Gas and Rodney in trouble.
[Lawler] See the poor Posse come down here, mind their own business,
trying to watch the European title match
and this is the thanks they get.
Oh, look out.
[Cole] The Headbangers giving it to Pete Gas.
-[electronic theme music plays] -[crowd roars]
Edge picks up the victory, via the disqualification,
but he won't get the title.
Bulldog retains the European Championship on SmackDown.
That was close.
Edge had the thing won with a spear,
but Joey Abs interrupted the count.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
I'm sorry, I just don't-- I don't get it.
What possible--
what possible explanation
can you give for that comment you made
at the end of Raw on Monday night.
-What possible explanation? -I made a mistake.
-You made a mistake? -Right.
You made a mistake when you thought I could actually hit my own son
with the WWE title, huh? That was a mistake?
Don't you understand how I felt?
I wanted my son Shane to be the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
and you can say what you did at the end of that program.
And all you got to say now is you made a mistake.
So as you stand there now, just tell me, was it a mistake or not?
How do you feel about it now, JR?
I think it was an accident.
I've been looking at it and thinking about it.
I think it was an accident, what you did,
but I'm offering my apology.
I'll always try to be the best at my job.
I just wanted to do my job, that's it.
I'm sorry.
Your apology is accepted.
[Lawler] Wow.
[Cole] Well, King, I can tell you, we're back on SmackDown,
but I'm not quite sure where-- Wait, hey, it's Mankind.
-[Cole] What in the world? -You're the manager, right?
-Yes. -Godfather's hoes told me
I could find Val Venis at Delilah's.
You know the Godfather's hos?
I know the hos, but I'm looking for Val Venis.
Val is not here, I've been here all night.
Oh yeah? Maybe old George will jog your memory,
-Mr. Manager Man. -Hey, he is not here.
Thank you. Would you like a dance for you?
I would but I'm just afraid you might get hurt on my big ass new
championship belt.
I think Val Venis is at that other place.
[Cole] Mankind just took the tip, King.
-♪ Are you ready? ♪ -[crowd roars]
[Cole] Oh man, can you believe--
[Lawler] I can't believe what I'm seeing, I'm speechless.
[Cole] Mankind searching for Val in Delilah's.
-[Lawler] Did he turn down a lap dance? -[Cole] Yes.
[Lawler] He's a bigger idiot than I thought.
-["Are You Ready?" theme music playing] -[Cole] Well, here comes trouble.
[Lawler] Here comes trouble, here comes DX, yahoo!
[Cole] They are the most controversial group
in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment.
They've been reformed and reunited,
and they're raising hell once again.
♪ That's the breaks, little man ♪
♪ Breakdown ♪
[Cole] We are ten days away from Survivor Series on Pay-Per-View,
where Triple H will defend the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship
in a triple threat match.
But tonight we saw DX, King, offering their spin so to speak
on their accomplishments of this past Monday night on Raw.
[Lawler] It was a DX night, what a night they had on Raw.
Let me tell you something, right here tonight on UPN, SmackDown,
I got a feeling, I got a DX kind of feeling right now, Michael.
-[theme music continues] -[crowd cheers]
[Cole] You know, you might not like DX's actions,
but they're all tremendous athletes.
They're cocky, but most of all,
they're smart.
[Lawler] I can't believe you're admitting that.
[Cole] Triple H, the champion, flanked by X-Pac.
[Lawler] Usually you're out here saying they're degenerates.
[Cole] Mr. Ass and the Road Dogg.
DX claiming last week that they're here
to take over World Wrestling Entertainment.
They put Chairman, Vince McMahon on notice.
And that game, that ultimate chess game has begun.
The problem is DX is listening to nobody,
especially they're not listening to Vince McMahon.
[Lawler] Well, let's listen to DX, what he's saying.
You know, guys, it seems to me lately
that the world cannot get enough of us.
-[Lawler laughs] -[crowd roars]
You know, the entire world
is in love with D-Generation X.
[Lawler] Look at all the signs, Michael. That's proof, look.
-[Cole] I don't think the whole world-- -I mean, come on,
and I can't really blame you. We're the coolest guys here.
We beat everybody's ass.
We tell you we're going to do it, and we do.
[Lawler] Can't argue with that.
Now, Monday night, you got to see
the great D-Generation X in all our glory.
[Lawler] It was DX night.
You got to see things like
-the D-O-Double G. -[crowd roars]
[Lawler] Doing it Doggy style.
As he kicked the living hell
out of the "People's Chump," The Rock.
[crowd roars]
You got to see the real master of disaster, X-Pac…
[crowd roars]
[Lawler] You know, those hats are cool.
…beat the living hell out of Kane and his crispy little pal.
[Cole] What show was he watching?
And you got to see The Bad Ass…
[crowd cheers]
…with one shot of his mighty soup bone
split the eye clean open on The Rattlesnake
as he bled all over the ring.
[Lawler] What are you looking at me for, Michael? You know that's true.
[Triple H] But above all that--
Now, hey, that stuff was great.
You guys, let me tell you, let me be the first to tell you,
you guys are the greatest, you know what I am saying?
You guys are great, but…
Monday night, the coup de grace,
the best part of the show had to be
the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship match.
[Lawler laughs] It's the Mutual Admiration Society.
And as a treat to you guys,
because you are my bros, you know, as a treat to you guys,
and all these people here,
we're going to take a little look at that very match.
Shane McMahon-equin against the one and the only,
the WWE Champ-- Oh! Golly, that's gotta--
Oh!
Now that's Vince McMahon hitting his own flesh and blood in the head.
Can you believe that?
Oh,
you got to admit, that's good aim right there,
hitting him in the [bleep].
-[Lawler laughs] -[Cole] That's real funny.
[Triple H] Right on the money maker.
Now, when the show came to a close,
the one thing
that I couldn't help but hear
was good ol' JR
sit at the announce table and say,
[heavy southern accent] "Now do you think it was a mistake
for Mr. McMahon to hit his own son Shane in the head?"
"I just hope that was an accident."
-[Lawler] Got the accent down perfect. -You think that was an accident?
[Cole] JR just said he misspoke.
So without further ado,
DX will now let you in on the best kept secret today.
[Cole] Uh-oh what's this?
Because that's the way we are.
We always tell you people the truth, we're always straight up.
-[Cole] Yeah, right. -[Lawler] What?
Without further ado,
let's bring out
the newest member of D-Generation X.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh.
Vince McMahon.
What?
-[Lawler] What a first for SmackDown. -[Cole] You got to be kidding me.
-[Lawler] Look at this! -[Cole] Vince McMahon?
-[Lawler] What's going on? -[theme music plays]
Man, I can't believe it. I guess JR was right.
[Cole] Vince McMahon, the newest member of DX?
[Lawler] This is the biggest-- this is the biggest shock ever.
[Cole] I can't believe what I'm seeing here, folks.
[Lawler] Vince McMahon has joined DX.
They got the jack-- well, they got the Jersey for him,
and this is going to be the greatest thing I've ever seen.
What about the look on Vince's face?
[Cole] I can't believe this.
Vince McMahon joins DX?
[crowd roaring]
Should McMahon join DX?
[crowd] No!
Quite frankly, gentlemen,
I'd rather join the Girl Scouts.
For the love of [bleep],
it's a billion dollar company on the stock market.
The stocks going through the frigging roof
and we can't get a mic that works?
[crowd cheering]
That's just one more reason
why you should be with us,
because we will always have a stick that performs.
[crowd cheers]
I'd rather join WCW than join DX.
-Oh! Wow. -[crowd roars]
-Vince McMahon telling it like it is. -[Lawler] WCW? [laughs]
So I hope you've had all your fun last Monday,
and I hope you have more fun tonight
when in that very ring…
[Cole] Uh-oh. I smell trouble.
D-Generation X will compete
in a Survivor Series eight-man elimination matchup…
-Oh yeah! -[Lawler] What's he talking about now?
…against my son Shane…
[Cole] Uh-oh.
…against Kane…
-Whoa! -[crowd roars]
…against The Rock…
-[Cole] Yeah! -[crowd roars]
[Vince] …and against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
-[crowd roars] -[Cole] Oh yeah!
-Tonight, right here on SmackDown. -[crowd roaring]

[Lawler] Yeah! Speaking of the red-light district. [cheers] Here we go!
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring from the red-light district,
weighing in at 320 pounds,
The Godfather!
-Oh baby! -[Cole] You know, King,
we saw The Godfather's hoes earlier
giving out Mankind directions on where he could find Val Venis.
[Lawler] And now that idiot is on a mission,
trying to find the book-burning Val Venis.
He's sidetracked, he's dropping quarters into the peep show.
[Cole] As Godfather makes his way to the ring,
a blockbuster announcement just made by Vince McMahon.
Later on tonight, eight-man
Survivor Series-style elimination tag match.
DX may be in up over their heads now,
because they got to meet Austin,
The Rock, Shane McMahon and Kane here tonight on SmackDown.
[Lawler] Man, I can't believe that.
[Cole] What a war that's going to be.
DX trying to pull a joke.
Vince McMahon may have gotten the last word here tonight.
Did you really think Vince McMahon was the newest member of DX?
[Lawler] No, I didn't, I knew he wasn't.
You did though.
Well, I can't believe he put this match together.
It is time once again for everybody to come aboard the…
[crowd] Ho train!
Hey, I know that I ain't the only one.
Is there any pimps up in this house?
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Oh yeah!
Well, to all y'all that know
that The Godfather, the real Godfather
be pimping hoes nationwide,
man, I want you to reach in that bag,
roll a fatty for this pimp daddy,
light that sticky green up and say "pimping ain't easy!"
-Say it, Michael. -[crowd] Pimping ain't easy!
Sure looks like fun.
Y'all want to see some more?
Huh? What? Yes!
Ladies, take them shirts off!
[Lawler] What? Yeah, baby!
This is-- Come on with it!
[Cole] Wait a minute, what is this? Yeah. Y2J spoiling the party.
[Lawler] You're not kidding.
I can't see anything now.
[explosion pops]
[Cole] He's Chris Jericho, Y2J,
set to go one-on-one with The Godfather.
[announcer] His opponent, from Winnipeg, Canada,
weighing in at 247 pounds,
Chris Jericho!
[Lawler] I wanted them to keep the lights off.
I was going to get in the ring and feel my way around.
[Cole] In just ten days, it's Survivor Series.
Jericho meets Chyna for the Intercontinental title.
I'll be honest with you, pimping ain't easy…
to watch.
I mean, nobody came here to see
a bunch of scantily clad young women dance.
[Lawler] Nobody, what about me?
No. They came to see Y2J.
[Lawler] Well…
Just like nobody wants to see
a frail, cowardly woman as a champion.
-Uh-oh. -[crowd clamoring]
They want to see Y2J.
[Lawler] He said Chyna was frail?
So, Chyna, what I'm going to do, is after our match at Survivor Series,
I'm going to let you be my personal ho!
[Cole] Oh, yeah, please.
I know that's something you're excited about because
I know you got a sexual crush on Y2J.
And with a gorgeous face like this, can you blame her?
[Lawler] Michael, you know, he is handsome.
I also know you like to lay on your back.
Hell, you've slept with half the boys in the dressing room already.
-[Lawler] Whoa! -[Cole] Oh, come on, now.
But your dream of a lifetime
is going to come true
when after our match at Survivor Series,
when I'm all dirty and sweaty,
and I make you get down on your knees.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
Pucker up your lips
and kiss my big, shiny
Intercontinental Championship belt.
You will never ever forget it.
[Cole] Y2J completely out of line, King.
[Lawler] Look out!
[Cole] And now Chris Jericho hammering away on The Godfather,
and I'll tell you one thing right now, come November 14th on Pay-Per-View,
Jericho may very well get his
from the Ninth Wonder of the World, Chyna.
And how in the world do you go around
saying he's going to make Chyna his ho at Survivor Series?
[Lawler] I don't know, he said it though.
I got to see it to believe it.
[Cole] Godfather, big clothesline, knocking Jericho down.
Tell you what, Jericho can be described in many ways,
he's a master manipulator, he's a whiner.
-And there's Chyna. -[Lawler] Uh-oh!
The Intercontinental Champion and Miss Kitty
watching this match intently.
She had to hear everything that Jericho said.
[Lawler] You think Chyna heard that she's gonna have
-to be a ho at Survivor Series? -[Cole] Yeah, I think she heard that.
Jericho also says Chyna has a sexual crush on him.
Godfather whipped off the rope,
Jericho's spinning heel kick caught him on the chin.
-We were saying Jericho-- -I don't know.
[Lawler] I just-- I can't buy that.
Now, I don't know about Chyna having a sexual crush on anybody.
[Cole] And Jericho kicked in the midsection,
right-handed by Jericho again.
Y2J is a crybaby, he is a whiner,
but he is a tremendous athlete.
[Lawler] Wait a minute, what's he trying to do with the hos?
[Cole] Godfather in-- wait a minute.
What the hell is that?
[Lawler] The hos, what do you mean?
[Cole] Looked odd there for a second-- Jericho, nice suplex.
[Lawler] Got a fifth ho out here now.
[Cole] And Jericho off the second rope, caught Godfather.
-Right hand, and Jericho again. -Look at this ho directing traffic.
And, King, look out, look at this. King!
[Lawler] What are they doing?
The hoes are going in the ring. Hey!
-The hoes are coming in the ring. -The hoes are going in the ring but…
[referee] Get these hoes out of here!
[Cole] That look like a ho to me.
-[Lawler] What is this? -[Cole] Jericho hammers on it.
Hey, kick to the chin.
Was that-- that looked like the--
Wait a minute.
King, that looked like the Stevie kick.
Ho Train by The Godfather!
Rolls Jericho over, hooks the leg,
-the cover, Godfather wins! -[crowd roars]
The Godfather wins, but the story here is…
one of the hoes, well--
-[announcer] Your winner, Godfather! -[Cole] That wasn't a ho. Look at this!
-You know who that is, King? -[Lawler] Stevie Richards in drag.
[Cole] Stevie Richards, dressing up as a Godfather's ho,
nails Jericho with a Stevie kick.
[Lawler] He ought to be down at Delilah's.
-[Cole] And The Godfather… -[overlapping chatter]
[Cole] And Y2J none too pleased.
[Lawler] That's no way to treat the Intercontinental Champion.
-I can't believe this. -He's not the Intercontinental Champion.
Well, he will be after Survivor Series.
[Cole] Jericho meets Chyna at Survivor Series on Pay-Per-View in ten days
for the Intercontinental title. Down with the referee.
Look at Referee Timmy White.
-Timmy White's all aboard the ho train. -Oh my gosh.
[Lawler] This is gonna cost him.
Those hoes are good for nothing, but they're never bad for nothing.
King, Lilian Garcia is standing by with Stevie Richards.
What?
Stevie, I got to ask you, what is your obsession lately with Chyna?
Who wouldn't think the world of Chyna, Lilian?
Who would not think the world of Chyna? I mean, look at her.
She's so muscular, she's so athletic,
she has such a nice tan,
her wrestling ability, I mean, let's face it.
She's one big piece of ass.
Okay, alright. Now listen, let's just move on to the Survivor Series.
Now, you're the only one that has gone against Chyna and Chris Jericho,
so what is your prediction?
Okay. Let's do it this way.
Give me a "C," give me an "H,"
uh, give me an "I,"
give me an "N," give me an "A."
Chyna, Chyna, Chyna!
[Cole] What a-- what in the world.
I wasn't worried about the JR comment. I mean… don't have to worry about that.
I know, accident, no problem.
All we gotta do is concentrate, eight-man tag, wham! That's it.
-It's all about teamwork. -It's all about the teamwork.
-Have you seen Stone Cold? -No.
-Do you know which way he might be? -No.
-I'll go find him. -Okay.
-Great. Knock 'em dead.
Hey, I'm going to go back to the arena and find out from the hos
where Val went, okay?
Hey, buddy, that's my car.
-[Lawler] Look at this. Look! -That's my car, hey!
That's my damn car!
[Lawler] They're towing Mankind's station wagon.
He stayed too long in the peep show.
[Cole] Mankind enjoyed himself a little too long, folks.
We're back on SmackDown.
And I can tell you the First Union Center in Philadelphia
is jacked in anticipation of tonight's Survivor Series-style
eight-man elimination matchup
set up by Vince McMahon.
DX meets Stone Cold, Kane, The Rock and Shane.
The 1999 Survivor Series is brought to you by Nokia.
It's fiber technology with a human touch.
Nokia, connecting people.
[Lawler] Right, the Survivor Series is just over a week away,
on Sunday, November 14th, and it will come to you live
on Pay-Per-View from the sold out Joe Lewis Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
-Hey, Steve. Steve! -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
-Steve. -[door slams shut]
Steve, let me have a word with you.
Steve.
What in the hell is that?
[Cole] Well, obviously, King, Stone Cold wasn't in the talking mood.
Wait a minute, what is this?
Al Snow.
…in between Crash's legs, I picked his little butt up
and I threw him right on his head!
Yeah, Al, that was great the first ten times you told us.
What do you mean? It was fantastic. Look, why not [bleep]…
-[grunting] -[Cole] Hey! What--
-It's Val Venis, King. -[Lawler] What's he doing here?
[Cole] Val Venis is hammering away at Al Snow.
I thought Val was at Delilah's.
Tell your bum-buddy Mankind that it would be in his best interest to find me
before I find him.
[Cole] Val Venis, we thought he left the building,
but he gave Al Snow a little bit of a warning for Mankind.
Wow.
-Man! -[Lawler] Where is Val going now?
-Uh-oh. -Uh-oh.
Thank you very much, ladies, for delivering the message.
-Anytime. -You're going to call, right?
-Wow, did you hear that? -I heard that.
[Cole] Coming up next, Big Boss Man may have to pay for his sins
when he meets The Big Show. The Boss Man escalated this war Monday night.
I'm getting taped up cause I'm going to get my hands on the Boss Man.
I'm going to get my hands on Prince Albert.
-When I get my hands on both of them-- -Hey, what is that?
[shouting]
[Lawler] What is that? What is that?
Boss Man and Prince Albert are locking the door.
[angry shouting]
Big Show is going down.
Boss Man and Prince Albert are putting on--
-That looks like gas masks. -What have they done there?
I've never seen anything like that in my life
and now it's another assault.
All those noxious fumes.
Big Show's got to have some help, he needs help now.
The Big Show gasping for air.
-[Big Show gasping and struggling] -Come on, now. Come on.
[gasping and coughing]
[Cole] The Big Show is brought to his knees buy those noxious fumes.
And there he is.
The Big Show has been waiting for this for a long time.
Next, he finally get his huge mitts on the Boss Man.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh, he's on his way here.
Kane, Kane. Can you hear me, Kane?
Ah, I didn't exactly expect you, Tori.
But give me a message for him, if you would.
Tell Kane I said good luck on the eight-man elimination tag team match.
-All right? -Sure will.
Thanks.
[rock music playing]
[Cole] Well, King, it was confirmed on Monday night
that Kane and Tori, they have some sort of relationship.
[Lawler] Yeah, they've got a relationship. They're romantically linked by that…
You heard what X-Pac said about Kane's little crispy critter.
You think Tori's seen that yet?
[Cole] So, the Big Boss Man, a marked man
making his way to the ring.
He could be meeting his worst nightmare here tonight.
[announcer] …scheduled for one fall.
Making his way into the ring from Cobb County, Georgia,
weighing in at 305 pounds, the Big Boss Man!
You know, you can describe the Boss Man in many different ways, King.
Vile, sadistic.
The things that he has done to The Big Show in the past few weeks.
Oh my gosh. Why don't you go up there and describe the Boss Man…
[announcer] His opponent, he weighs in at 500 pounds,
The Big Show!
[Cole] The Big Show walking with a purpose to the ring.
[Lawler] I think we should probably move away from here.
-[bell ringing] -[Cole] His eyes focused on Big Boss Man.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time,
and a right hand by the seven-foot-two, 500 pounder,
and what a boot to the Big Boss Man.
You know, he told me Monday during an interview, King,
that The Big Show doesn't know what he's capable of.
[Lawler] Oh, there is a lot of pent-up rage inside The Big Show,
and he literally, he wants to hurt the Boss Man,
and he wants to hurt him bad.
[Cole] The Boss Man has brought this upon himself, King,
plain and simple.
The Boss Man has driven The Big Show to this.
[Lawler] Not too good.
Run away and maybe live to fight another day.
[Cole] You see the way The Big Show came down the ramp.
[Lawler] Oh, look out.
[Cole] Glassy eyes focused on the Boss Man.
[Lawler] Look out, Boss Man. Watch your back, here he comes!
[Cole] Big Show from behind.
Boss Man trying to make it out of dodge and he's going to roll,
he rolled down the ramp in front of Big Show.
-The Big Show again with a right hand. -[bell ringing]
Referee Teddy Long calling for the bell,
but to be honest, King,
I don't think that's going to stop The Big Show.
-[Lawler] I don't think so either. -This isn't about a wrestling match.
[Cole] This is about Big Show getting revenge on Boss Man.
It's about hurting Boss Man, he wants to hurt him bad.
-[Cole] This is personal. -Oh no!
Oh!
-[grunting] -Oh!
The Big Show learning a few weeks ago, his dad terminally ill with cancer,
and the Boss Man has preyed on the emotions
of The Big Show ever since that moment.
-And Boss Man for the ride. -Oh my gosh.
Choke slam, over 300 pounds lifted high in the air.
And here comes Prince Albert, the Boss Man's accomplice,
his partner in crime.
And The Big Show going to take it out now
on the 360-pound Prince Albert.
-[Lawler] And Prince Albert too! Look out! -[Cole] Oh man!
[Cole] Did you see that strength?
[Lawler] This is unbelievable.
That's enough! Come on!
[Cole] And now some help into the ring now
to try to get The Big Show off his relentless attack.
[Lawler] Dave Hebner, he is the head of the officials here.
-Oh no! -Oh no, he's got Dave Hebner now,
and Teddy is in there as well.
-No way! -Going for the ride!
Depression!
That's Slaughter, that's Sgt. Slaughter.
-[bell ringing] -[Lawler] Sgt. Slaughter!
[Cole] Oh man. The Big Show has lost it.
-Large and in charge. Look at this! -[Cole] Tony Garea got a ride as well.
The Big Show could care less about rules, referees, the people, the crowd.
He's wild, he's wild with emotion.
[Lawler] The Boss Man has escaped, I think, Michael, I don't see him.
Is he coming over here? Look out!
[theme music plays]
[Cole] The Big Show wild with emotion,
destroying referees, Superstars, officials, agents.
Oh my, look at his face.
-Rock smells it. -How are you doing?
[Cole] And there's The Rock, the People's Champ.
We are moments away from the eight-man elimination tag.
[man] And now, JVC Kaboom Box,
the portable music system with dual sub woofers
and 52 watts of ring-shaking power,
presents the JVC Kaboom of the Week.
[Ross] …got the title belt.
McMahon is going to take Helmsley's head off.
-Oh God, Vince hit Shane! -What?
Vince McMahon inadvertently hit Shane.
Triple H retains the title.
It was an accident, wasn't it?
[Lawler] Of course, it was an accident.
[man] That was the JVC Kaboom of the Week
presented by the ultimate head banging music machine,
the JVC Kaboom Box. So loud it hurts.
["No Chance in Hell" theme music playing]
♪ No chance ♪
[Cole] We're back on SmackDown from the First Union Center
in Philadelphia, and what a matchup.
An eight-man Survivor Series-style elimination match
set up by Vince McMahon earlier this evening.
It will be D-Generation X against Shane McMahon,
Kane, The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
-["No Chance in Hell" continues] -[announcer] …Survivor Series…
♪ No chance in Hell ♪
In the ring, one of the co-owners of World Wrestling Entertainment,
-Shane McMahon! -♪ No chance in Hell ♪
[Cole] And King, we just saw in the JVC Kaboom of the Week,
the controversy started when we went off the air Monday night on Raw.
[Lawler] What was your opinion of it, Michael? What did you think? Uh-oh.
[Cole] Oh, wait a minute!
And here comes one of Shane's partners, the Big Red Machine Kane.
[announcer] And his partner, he weighs in at 326 pounds,
Kane!
[Cole] And then, earlier on this evening here on SmackDown,
DX introduced who it called the newest member of D-Generation X,
Vince McMahon, but Vince wasn't going for it.
[Lawler] Vince wasn't going for it at all, as a matter of fact,
he got so hot, he said he'd rather join WCW than join DX,
and then he put this match together.
This Survivor Series-style match, but you know what's weird,
we saw "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock and even Kane
wouldn't have anything to say
-to Vince McMahon. -[explosion pops]
These guys won't talk to Vince. What's up with that?
[Cole] They're not in a talking mood as they get ready
for what's going to be a war.
♪ If you smell what The Rock is cooking ♪
[theme music plays]
[announcer] And their partner from Miami, Florida,
weighing in at 275 pounds,
The Rock!
[Cole] You can feel the electricity.
The Rock on his way to the ring.
[Lawler] Feel the electricity? The roof almost blew off this place.
[Cole] The Rock with a huge score to settle with D-Generation X
over what amounted to be an ambush attack on Raw Monday night.
[Lawler] This place is sold out Look around, Michael.
Everybody, everyone of these people are on their feet right now
for The Rock.
[Cole] And in ten days, it's Survivor Series on Pay-Per-View.
The Rock meets Triple H and Stone Cold
for the WWE Championship in a triple threat match.
[Lawler] Well, I've seen a lot of Survivor Series,
but I got a prediction.
This is going to be the greatest one of all time, Michael.
[Cole] Survivor Series, November 14th
from the sold out Joe Lewis Arena in Detroit.
[Lawler] Wow, uh-oh.
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" theme music playing]
[announcer] Their tag team partner from Victoria, Texas,
weighing in at 252 pounds,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin!
Well, you're right, Michael,
that Rattlesnake doesn't look like he's in a talking mood.
I wondered if he was really going to show up,
but here he is.
He wants some of DX.
[Cole] And speaking of somebody who has a huge score
to settle with D-Generation X,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the Texas Rattlesnake
who as we mentioned, involved in the main event at Survivor Series
with The Rock and Triple H for the WWE title.
[Lawler] You mentioned having a score to settle with DX.
Every one of these members of this team,
everybody in the ring right now has a score to settle with DX.
Yeah, but how well are they going to get along as partners tonight?
Austin, Rock, Kane and Shane.
Well, that's what's going to make it interesting, Michael.
[announcer] And their opponents, at a combined weight of 887 pounds,
the Road Dogg Jesse James,
X-Pac, Mr. Ass,
and the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
Triple H!
D-Generation X!
[Cole] And as we mentioned,
it's an eight-man elimination Survivor Series-style matchup.
Rules are the same as Survivor Series.
Once a person is pinned or submits, you must go back to the locker room.
[Lawler] You're eliminated.
[Cole] Yeah, leaving your team to battle at a disadvantage.
The match continues until there is one man or one team standing.
Here we go now, it's going to be Shane McMahon with a spear
starting things off against the Road Dogg.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh.
Vince McMahon has got his son Shane pumped.
Uh-oh, he just got popped.
[Cole] Road Dogg with a right hand to Shane,
who came with an eyelash of winning the WWE Championship
Monday night on Raw.
What an athletic move by Shane,
flying through the air, catching Road Dogg in the chest.
Cover now by Shane, there's two, and a kick-out by the Road Dogg.
[Lawler] I got to give Shane credit. He's pretty athletic.
I mean, he'll risk life and limb, he'll fly all over the ring,
but you know he can't hang with DX.
He doesn't have the experience.
[Cole] Wise move there by the Road Dogg
as he tags in X-Pac.
DX isolating Shane in that corner.
Shane, of course, the least experienced on his team.
He's not a wrestler.
[Lawler] And he's in the wrong corner too.
And X-Pac now hammering away at Shane.
Some bad blood, bad history between these two individuals.
Shane off the ropes, ducks underneath the right hand
-and he catches X-Pac with an elbow. -Whoa.
And now X-Pac to his feet.
Shane misses, heel kick, caught him in the face.
Oh boy, you can feel the tension here.
D-Generation X claiming they're going
to take over World Wrestling Entertainment.
Won't follow any rules, even those laid out by the owner of the company,
Vince McMahon.
[Lawler] See, here's the smart thing about DX,
they know to keep Shane in their corner.
These guys think alike, they're a cohesive unit,
and they'll give you a crotch chop--
-Uh-oh, look at this! -[Cole] And Triple H
again trying to lock Kane and Austin out of the corner,
allowing DX to isolate and triple team Shane McMahon.
[Lawler] What a smart move, what did I tell you?
[Cole] Well, DX been together for a long time,
they know each other
would have the advantage in this matchup in that aspect.
Shane ripped across the ring.
X-Pac now, nobody home!
-Whoa! -X-Pac hit the top turnbuckle.
Shane desperately needs to make a tag.
Can he get to the corner?
Can Shane make it to the corner?
And he does, and here comes Kane with a huge score to settle.
[Lawler] It's Kane!
[Cole] And it was X-Pac who stabbed Kane in the back last week on SmackDown.
[Lawler] He also called Kane's girl Victoria a slut.
[Cole] And Kane, one for the Road Dogg, one for Triple H.
Austin is in, Rock's in!
Here we go, all hell has broken loose.
[Lawler] I'm afraid that's it for X-Pac.
[Cole] Backbreaker of X-Pac.
Mr. Ass going for the ride.
Boot to the face! Austin and Rock outside the ring.
Now Kane is outside the ring.
Oh no.
Kane is going to climb the ropes, X-Pac can't speak.
X-Pac's in la-la land.
Kane, 318 pounds off the top rope just flattened X-Pac.
What athletic ability by the Big Red Machine.
Oh no.
And X-Pac is going to go for the ride.
Oh, a low blow by "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn.
Famouser, Famouser, Famouser! He caught him with the Famouser,
but Kane got right up.
-[Lawler] He's right up. -[Cole] X-Factor!
X-Factor, hook to the leg! X-Pac's eliminated Kane.
[Lawler] Can you believe it? The Famouser.
[Cole] Kane is eliminated.
[Lawler] And the X-Factor did Kane in, but he's up already.
[Cole] But Kane's not through.
X-Pac's going to go for a ride.
-[Cole] Choke slam! -[Lawler] He's about to be eliminated.
[Cole] The Famouser by Billy Gunn.
Wait a minute, Shane is going to cover X-Pac now.
Hooks the leg, and a kick-out after two.
[Lawler] Oh, that was close.
[Cole] It was the Famouser and the X-Factor that eliminated Kane.
Now Shane McMahon in the ring.
-Look at this. -Shane hammers away on X-Pac.
-But look at this! -Look who's coming down to the ring.
[Cole] On his way down.
[Lawler] What's he doing here?
[Cole] It's the Chairman, Vince McMahon's on his way down.
-[Cole] What's he doing here? Oh! -[Lawler] Look out!
[Cole] We're back on SmackDown,
and look at Shane with a spear on X-Pac.
This is an eight-man elimination matchup.
Kane has already been eliminated.
DX has a four-on-three against Shane McMahon,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock.
And Shane's in trouble. X-Factor to Shane.
-That's it. -By X-Pac.
-That is it. -Should be it.
[Cole] Cover by X-Pac, there's two and it's over.
Shane McMahon has been eliminated.
DX with a four-on-two against The Rock and Austin.
-Oh no! -What a clothesline.
[crowd roars]
And The Rock bring the people out of their seats.
[Lawler] Well, it's Survivor Series rules.
[Cole] Triple H from behind.
[Lawler] Go until one team is completely eliminated,
and I'll tell you, it's looking bad for the team of--
Well, whose team is it now? The Rock's or the Rattlesnake's?
[Cole] Stone Cold and The Rock started with Kane and Shane.
Kane and Shane have been eliminated.
DX now with all four members still alive,
still fresh, and The Rock being isolated.
[Lawler] I still don't understand why Vince McMahon is out here.
He's just standing here at ringside, glaring up into the ring.
[Cole] The Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment,
Vince McMahon, watching from ringside.
The Rock and Austin, partners here tonight,
but in ten days on Pay-Per-View at Survivor Series,
The Rock and Austin will be opponents along with Triple H
in a triple threat match. Covered by Road Dogg, Rock could be done,
and a kick-out after two.
Wow.
Road Dogg measuring The Rock, right hand, Rock blocks it.
And here comes the People's Champ,
-battling back now. -Oh my gosh.
[Cole] And Road Dogg again.
Stone Cold yet to be in this matchup, legally that is,
and Rock with a right hand.
Reversal, Rock do-si-do,
Road Dogg up top, Samoan drop!
Rock caught him!
Covers the Road Dogg, hooks the leg,
and Dogg gets the shoulder up after two.
[Lawler] Get a tag, get a tag, get out of there.
[Cole] It's The Rock and Austin against D-Generation X.
Road Dogg in the ring
as Triple H, X-Pac and Billy Gunn get valuable rest time.
And look at the triple team.
-Look at this! -Like an angry pack of wolves.
[Lawler] Rock bringing the smackdown on the entire DX.
[Cole] But Road Dogg took advantage.
Look out, Rock Bottom time!
-Setting him up, Rock Bottoms Road Dogg! -He got him!
Hooks the leg, there's one, two,
Road Dogg's eliminated!
It's now three-on-two in favor of DX.
[Lawler] That's all right. DX still got the advantage.
Three-on-two, you're right.
[Cole] And X-Pac now in battling The Rock,
and The Rock battling back, right hands!
X-Pac whipped off the ropes,
ducks underneath The Rock,
caught him with a spinning heel kick.
[Lawler] That's it. This is going to be three right now.
[Cole] There's two. Rock gets the shoulder up.
King, this is the kind of action you're going to see
Sunday, November 14th, at Survivor Series.
[Lawler] Look at that. X-Pac cannot believe that The Rock was able
to get that shoulder up.
Uh-oh. X-Factor? Nope.
[crowd chanting "Rocky"]
X-Pac setting up The Rock for Triple H,
here is the WWE Champion.
And here is a preview of Survivor Series.
The triple threat match, Triple H, Austin and The Rock.
And that was a cheap shot by the champion.
[Lawler] No, that was a very smart move right there.
[Cole] Well, I agree with you on that point,
-because he drew Austin out of the corner. -[Lawler] Right.
[Cole] Referee distracted, but it was a cheap shot nonetheless.
[Lawler] See, The Game is so smart.
Everybody knows that Austin's a hothead,
brought him in there and allowed him to do a little damage to The Rock.
"Bad Ass" Billy Gunn drops Rock on his head, here's the cover now,
there's two and a kick-out again by The Rock.
[Lawler] Still, Vince McMahon sitting here, glaring up into that ring.
Speaking of glaring, look at that.
[Cole] The Rattlesnake wants desperately to get into this matchup.
Here comes X-Pac into the ring.
X-Pac well rested.
Kick to the ribs, X-Pac with the right hand
and a chop now to the chest.
Oh, wow.
Reversal. X-Pac off the ropes, boot to the midsection.
Oh! DDT by The Rock!
Desperation maneuver.
[Lawler] Right on X-Pac's head, on his face.
[Cole] Desperation maneuver by The Rock.
And Austin…
wants a tag.
Triple H as well.
X-Pac trying to crawl to his corner.
[Lawler] Even Vince McMahon over here,
I think he just-- I think he's screaming, "Rock get up!"
Come on!
[Cole] Can you hear Vince?
-Leading the cheers. -[Lawler] He's getting into this.
Can Rock… and he does!
-Here comes Austin. -Oh my God.
Here comes Austin.
Right hand, right hand!
Austin on fire.
Stone Cold!
There goes Billy Gunn, there goes Triple H!
But X-Pac was lying in wait,
he caught him with a spinning heel kick.
That's where the numbers advantage comes into play.
-But, X-Pac, look out! -[Lawler] Uh-oh. [screams]
[Cole] Stunner! Austin stunned X-Pac.
-X-Pac's eliminated. -[crowd roars]
And it's two-on-two.
Austin and The Rock against Triple H and Billy Gunn.
And now it's "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn and Austin.
That's right, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn's the guy that put the stitches in the eye
-of Austin Monday night. -[Cole exclaims]
[Cole] Oh no, and the right hand's from Austin.
[Lawler] He's trying to bust Billy Gunn's eye.
[Cole] And here it comes now, Austin delivering the elbow!
Kicks to the midsection now by the Rattlesnake.
It's two-on-two.
Rock and Austin against Triple H and Billy Gunn.
What a war this has been.
[Lawler] Uh-oh. There it is.
[Cole] The match continues until one team has been entirely eliminated.
Kane and Shane gone from The Rock and Austin's team.
X-Pac and Road Dogg gone from DX.
[Lawler] We're actually seeing Austin and The Rock work as a team here.
Oh yes!
[Cole] They have to to survive, King.
They have to work together.
Swinging neck breaker now.
Rock slamming Billy Gunn down and you know what this means.
[Lawler] Oh no! Let me say it, Michael.
Sit down, don't get too excited.
It's just the most electrifying move
in sports entertainment. Oh!
[Cole] And Triple H with another cheap shot,
drawing Austin out,
and Austin with a right hand.
And look at this now, Mr. Ass rolls him over.
But The Rock reverses, he's got Billy Gunn.
-Look at this! -Here's two, he got him!
-[bell ringing] -The Rock has eliminated Mr. Ass.
And Billy Gunn just made The Rock pay for it.
But Billy Gunn's eliminated.
It's now two-on-one.
Rock and Austin against Triple H.
[Lawler] This doesn't look good for The Game, I'll tell you that.
-Uh-oh. -[Cole] Wait a minute.
Pedigree time.
-Pedigree! -[Lawler] Test! What happened here?
[Cole] Hooks the leg, Triple H delivered the Pedigree,
and that's it.
Rock has been eliminated.
The Rock beaten and battered.
The Pedigree from Triple H.
[Lawler] This is it, Michael. Look at Vince McMahon.
This Survivor Series-style match is down to one-on-one.
[Cole] And it's Austin and Triple H, who will be in the same ring
at Survivor Series with the WWE title on the line in a triple threat match.
[Lawler] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and the WWE Champ squaring off now.
-Oh, look at The Rock. -And Austin with a right hand.
[Cole] Rock doesn't want to go back, but he has to.
It's between Austin and Triple H now.
[Lawler] Don't be a poor sport, Rock. Oh!
-[Cole] Triple H caught him in the face. -[Lawler] Possibly a broken nose.
[Cole] And look out, and he hung Triple H up, Austin did.
And both men, double clothesline and both men are down.
[Lawler] Wow.
[Cole] Referee outside the ring trying
-to get Rock back to the locker room. -Look at Vince McMahon!
Look at Vince, Vince has a chair.
Vince McMahon with a chair now.
[Lawler] What are you doing, Vince?
[Cole] Vince McMahon with a chair, but Triple H has it.
Triple H has it.
And Vince, Vince has the belt.
Vince has the championship, Vince McMahon.
-Watch out! -No! No!
[Cole] Vince McMahon clocked Austin!
-What? -Vince hit Austin.
Triple H with a cover now.
-It was inadvertent! -No, wait a minute.
Triple H wins, DX wins the match.
[announcer] Here are your winners, D-Generation X.
[Cole] Vince McMahon clocks Stone Cold with a championship.
Why?
Wait a minute, and look at Austin.
[Vince] Wait a minute, Austin.
Triple H and DX win.
Look at Austin, he thinks that McMahon did it on purpose.
He didn't do it on purpose.
[Cole] And Triple H from behind.
Oh my, Vince McMahon hit Austin with a championship.
King, it was deja vu from Monday night
when Vince hit his son Shane, costing Shane a matchup.
Tonight, he hit Stone Cold with a championship belt.
He cost Austin his match.
And Triple H, I don't think Vince believes what he just did.
Stone Cold looking back,
and King, King, I got to ask the same question JR asked Monday night.
It was an accident, wasn't it? e same question JR asked Monday night.
