The Acolytes won't be alone.

Otherwise, they're gonna make a tag here.

Oh, wait a minute. What the hell is that?
DX is not tagging their leader.

into two men

what the past few days
have been like for this couple.

62
00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:46,926
We know Triple H
has been gloating all week long

after his victory over
a reinstated Mankind

this past week on Raw.

65

But, King, Triple H has a major
reconstruction project

where D-Generation X is concerned.

67
00:04:01,307 --> 00:04:05,078
[Lawler] Let me get one thing straight.
He is not just the WWE Champion.

68
00:04:06,613 --> 00:04:08,982
He is The Game, Michael Cole.

69
00:04:09,048 --> 00:04:10,683

got everything worked out.

We'll probably… we'll probably see
a healing process

76
00:04:25,965 --> 00:04:28,701
and… and then he'll bring some closure
to this situation.

77
00:04:28,768 --> 00:04:30,670
[Cole] That situation with D-Generation X,

78
00:04:30,737 --> 00:04:34,807

as far as DX is concerned,

79
00:04:34,874 --> 00:04:38,611

that in ten days at the Royal Rumble,

Entertainment Championship,

00:10:04,704 --> 00:10:06,906
And I will start with The Outlaws.

174
00:10:07,406 --> 00:10:10,576
Dogg, Billy, tonight…

175
00:10:13,913 --> 00:10:15,348
I will make a match.

176
00:10:15,414 --> 00:10:17,550
This is kind of good and bad

177
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:19,885
but bear with me for a second,

178
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:24,724
because tonight, in this very ring,

179
00:10:25,191 --> 00:10:28,327
the two of you will face…

180
00:10:32,798 --> 00:10:35,067
in a handicap match,

181
00:10:36,769 --> 00:10:39,305
Bradshaw of The Acolytes.

182
00:10:39,739 --> 00:10:40,573
[Cole] Hey!

183
00:10:41,607 --> 00:10:47,046
No Disqualification,
and if Faarooq interferes in the match,

184
00:10:47,113 --> 00:10:52,051
The Acolytes lose their shot
at the Tag Titles at the Rumble.

185
00:10:52,651 --> 00:10:54,453
[Lawler] What? That's fair,
you can't… you…

186
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,155
Now for the bad,

187
00:10:57,523 --> 00:10:59,992
I do feel sorry about this but…

188
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:03,195
you're gonna have to work twice tonight.

189
00:11:03,262 --> 00:11:04,196
[Lawler] What?

190
00:11:04,930 --> 00:11:06,999
You're gonna have to get in
this ring twice

191
00:11:07,066 --> 00:11:08,868
because when you finish that match,

192
00:11:08,934 --> 00:11:10,903
you'll have to come back out here

193
00:11:11,637 --> 00:11:15,875
and face, in a handicap match,

194
00:11:15,941 --> 00:11:19,578
Faarooq of The Acolytes in a No-DQ Match.

195
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,614
And if Bradshaw interferes,

196
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:26,852
The Acolytes will lose their shot
at the Tag Team Titles at the Rumble.

197
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:30,022
[Lawler] Wow, two handicap matches
in one night for The Outlaws.

198
00:11:30,089 --> 00:11:31,023
Now, X-Pac,

199
00:11:32,625 --> 00:11:34,360
you and I have been the tightest.

200
00:11:35,061 --> 00:11:36,896
Kid, you're like a brother to me.

201
00:11:42,101 --> 00:11:46,772
So you and I are gonna get in this ring
tonight together.

202
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:48,507
[Lawler] What?

203
00:11:48,574 --> 00:11:51,043
We're gonna stand side by side,

204
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:54,213
and we are gonna take on…

205
00:11:56,182 --> 00:11:58,784
-The Big Show…
-[Cole] Whoa!

206
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,521
…and The Rock.

207
00:12:02,588 --> 00:12:03,723
[Lawler] Wow!

208
00:12:03,789 --> 00:12:08,227
Here tonight, Triple H, X-Pac,
against Big Show and The Rock.

209
00:12:08,661 --> 00:12:11,030
-[Cole] Is that a good idea?
-[Lawler] What? I don't…

210
00:12:12,031 --> 00:12:16,068
Now, as for Mick Foley,

211
00:12:16,135 --> 00:12:18,337
as for Mankind…

212
00:12:24,743 --> 00:12:29,515
if Monday, you thought you had me backed
against a wall,

213
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:33,185
sorry, but you were wrong.

214
00:12:36,155 --> 00:12:38,190
Monday, Mick Foley,

215
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:44,230
I beat you in the center of this ring…

216
00:12:44,296 --> 00:12:46,732
one, two, three…

217
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:51,370
and I left you laying
in a puddle of your own blood.

218
00:12:52,104 --> 00:12:53,706
[Lawler] He did, that's why he's The Game.

219
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,041
Now, Mick Foley…

220
00:12:57,810 --> 00:13:01,547
at the Rumble in New York City,

221
00:13:03,182 --> 00:13:07,553
what you experienced Monday
is gonna just be a small taste

222
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,623
of what you will receive at the Rumble.

223
00:13:11,157 --> 00:13:16,228
Mick Foley, your blood
will stain New York City.

224
00:13:16,295 --> 00:13:17,963
I promise you that.

225
00:13:18,030 --> 00:13:22,668
And I will beat you worse
than you have ever been beaten

226
00:13:22,735 --> 00:13:24,470
in your entire life.

227
00:13:24,537 --> 00:13:25,604
[crowd cheering]

228
00:13:25,671 --> 00:13:28,941
[Cole] Wow, that's a…
that's quite a beating.

229
00:13:29,575 --> 00:13:30,576
But…

230
00:13:32,278 --> 00:13:34,380
Mick, I know you're in the back.

231
00:13:36,315 --> 00:13:37,817
I know you're here.

232
00:13:38,951 --> 00:13:43,756
After all, we so ever graciously
reinstated you.

233
00:13:45,691 --> 00:13:47,459
So, Mick, I'll tell you what,

234
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:53,732
I've got nowhere to go,
I've got nowhere special to be.

235
00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:00,072
So if you've got the guts,
we don't have to wait until the Rumble.

236
00:14:00,139 --> 00:14:03,242
Why don't you bring it down here
right now,

237
00:14:03,309 --> 00:14:07,012
and I will finish what I started Monday.

238
00:14:07,479 --> 00:14:10,716
[Cole] King, Triple H is challenging
Mankind to a match right here

239
00:14:10,783 --> 00:14:12,218
tonight on SmackDown.

240
00:14:14,553 --> 00:14:18,290
Come on, show some of that
testicular fortitude

241
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:21,560
you always talk about and make the walk.

242
00:14:21,627 --> 00:14:24,730
Get in the ring with The Game
and let's get it done.

243
00:14:24,797 --> 00:14:26,599
-[Cole] Look out now.
-[Lawler] Oh, no.

244
00:14:26,665 --> 00:14:30,703
[Cole] Triple H, Mankind,
right here tonight on SmackDown.

245
00:14:30,769 --> 00:14:32,805
And this is gonna be a war, King.

246
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:35,407
[rock music playing]

247
00:14:35,474 --> 00:14:36,442
[Lawler] Look at this.

248
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,477
Triple H is ready.

249
00:14:39,478 --> 00:14:40,713
[Cole] Hey, wait a minute.

250
00:14:40,779 --> 00:14:42,915
[Lawler] Poor pathetic Mankind.

251
00:14:42,982 --> 00:14:43,983
-[Cole] King.
-[Lawler] What?

252
00:14:45,084 --> 00:14:46,719
[Cole] I smell a rat.

253
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:49,922
[Lawler] What are you talking about?
It's your upper lip.

254
00:14:50,789 --> 00:14:53,459
-[Cole] That's not Mick Foley.
-[Lawler] What?

255
00:14:53,993 --> 00:14:56,362
What a cynic you are. It's Mankind.

256
00:14:56,428 --> 00:14:58,530
[Cole] That is not Mankind.

257
00:14:58,597 --> 00:15:01,533
[Lawler] What do you mean it's…
We've seen this… we've seen this…

258
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,637
[Cole] We've seen that nasty shirt before,
that tattered tie,

259
00:15:04,703 --> 00:15:08,374
that… that nappy hair,
and that stupid mask. That's Mankind.

260
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,443
[Cole] King, you have been following
his career for 15 years and…

261
00:15:11,510 --> 00:15:13,712
[Lawler] Be careful, Game. He's dangerous.

262
00:15:13,779 --> 00:15:15,614
First things first.

263
00:15:16,715 --> 00:15:18,183
[Cole] Know that voice anywhere.

264
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:19,685
[Lawler] Oh, come on now.

265
00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:23,022
I just like to say that I'm sorry

266
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:26,392
you had to kick my butt
last Monday on Raw.

267
00:15:27,326 --> 00:15:31,730
And I'm sorry that you're probably
the greatest wrestler

268
00:15:31,797 --> 00:15:36,035
I've ever seen, watched,
or thought about my entire life.

269
00:15:36,101 --> 00:15:39,638
-[Cole] This is disgraceful.
-And I'd just like to apologize,

270
00:15:39,705 --> 00:15:42,875
Triple H, because every time I see you,

271
00:15:42,942 --> 00:15:45,377
it just makes me feel more pathetic.

272
00:15:45,911 --> 00:15:47,646
[Cole] Are you convinced now
it's not Mick Foley?

273
00:15:47,713 --> 00:15:48,881
You are the most pathetic person

274
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:50,949
I have ever met in my life.

275
00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:52,318
[Lawler] Sure it's him.

276
00:15:52,985 --> 00:15:54,420
Well, you know something…

277
00:15:55,387 --> 00:15:57,656
I've been pathetic for my whole life,

278
00:15:57,723 --> 00:15:59,892
especially over the last couple of weeks.

279
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:03,929
And I tell you what,
I'm kinda getting to like it.

280
00:16:07,032 --> 00:16:09,068
-[thud]
-[Cole] Wait a minute.

281
00:16:09,768 --> 00:16:10,969
[rock music plays]

282
00:16:11,036 --> 00:16:11,870
[Cole] King, look out.

283
00:16:11,937 --> 00:16:15,140
["Wreck" playing]

284
00:16:15,207 --> 00:16:18,510
-[Lawler] What is this?
-[Cole] I'll tell you. That's Mick Foley.

285
00:16:18,577 --> 00:16:20,412
That's the real Mankind.

286
00:16:20,479 --> 00:16:22,047
[Lawler] Nobody asked him
to come out here.

287
00:16:22,614 --> 00:16:25,250
[Cole] Triple H did
just a few moments ago.

288
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:27,586
[crowd cheering]

289
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:29,088
[song fades]

290
00:16:29,722 --> 00:16:31,824
Triple H,

291
00:16:31,890 --> 00:16:34,326
that is enough.

292
00:16:34,393 --> 00:16:37,997
[crowd chanting "Foley"]

293
00:16:38,063 --> 00:16:41,500
[Cole] We saw a vicious side
of Mick Foley Monday night

294
00:16:41,567 --> 00:16:43,435
after being driven through the table
by Triple H.

295
00:16:43,502 --> 00:16:46,939
Is this what you get off on,
making fun of me?

296
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:49,942
How much more do you want from me?

297
00:16:51,210 --> 00:16:52,277
[Foley] First,

298
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:59,251
you take away my job,
then you bring this idiot out there,

299
00:16:59,318 --> 00:17:01,787
and you take away my dignity.

300
00:17:02,588 --> 00:17:03,789
Then Monday night,

301
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:07,426
in what should have been
the greatest night of my life,

302
00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:10,829
when I was reinstated on Raw is War…

303
00:17:13,298 --> 00:17:17,102
you take me and you ruin my shirt.

304
00:17:17,903 --> 00:17:18,971
[Lawler] What?

305
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:21,340
[Foley] And you ruin my face.

306
00:17:21,407 --> 00:17:24,710
And I'll be honest, when I stepped
into that shower,

307
00:17:24,777 --> 00:17:28,013
when I let the cold water run down
on my head,

308
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,251
and I looked down at the blood
as it swirled around that shower drain…

309
00:17:32,317 --> 00:17:33,952
-[Lawler] Uh!
-[exhales]

310
00:17:34,019 --> 00:17:38,424
…I started thinking a little bit
about what Mankind was.

311
00:17:42,428 --> 00:17:45,364
Well, Mankind [panting]…

312
00:17:45,431 --> 00:17:48,333
is an entertaining son of a gun.

313
00:17:49,768 --> 00:17:54,373
Mankind is a pretty damn good author.

314
00:17:55,541 --> 00:17:57,009
Mankind…

315
00:17:58,444 --> 00:18:01,113
is one tough SOB.

316
00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:05,451
[crowd cheering]

317
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:09,388
And Mankind is one hell of a fighter.

318
00:18:12,024 --> 00:18:14,159
So it saddens me to say

319
00:18:15,127 --> 00:18:18,263
that after the beating you gave me
on Monday night,

320
00:18:18,330 --> 00:18:20,766
one thing Mankind is not

321
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,602
is ready to face you in a street fight

322
00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:26,638
at the Royal Rumble
in Madison Square Garden.

323
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,108
[Lawler] He's not?

324
00:18:32,711 --> 00:18:36,281
Because you are without a doubt The Game.

325
00:18:36,348 --> 00:18:38,417
-[mouthing]
-You are the best

326
00:18:38,484 --> 00:18:41,120
in the business right now.

327
00:18:42,087 --> 00:18:44,790
-And as you said, well…
-[mouthing]

328
00:18:44,857 --> 00:18:46,525
…Mankind, in some ways,

329
00:18:46,592 --> 00:18:51,196
is nothing more than a beaten up
pathetic fool.

330
00:18:54,099 --> 00:19:00,405
But I think the WWE fans deserve
a substitute in that match.

331
00:19:01,273 --> 00:19:03,909
[Lawler] Substitute? He's chickening out?

332
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:07,746
What I'm gonna do, Triple H,
is I'm gonna name him right now.

333
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:11,850
As a matter of fact,
I think you know the guy.

334
00:19:12,451 --> 00:19:14,353
-[Lawler] Huh?
-[Cole] Uh-oh.

335
00:19:14,419 --> 00:19:15,754
[crowd cheering]

336
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:18,090
[Cole] Oh, no. No, no, no. No!

337
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:21,193
[crowd cheering continues]

338
00:19:21,260 --> 00:19:24,129
And I think you know him pretty damn well.

339
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:29,735
His name is Cactus Jack.

340
00:19:29,801 --> 00:19:31,870
-[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] He's back.

341
00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:38,844
And his first official act
as part of the WWE

342
00:19:38,911 --> 00:19:43,215
is to kick your teeth
all over the city of Chicago.

343
00:19:43,282 --> 00:19:45,083
[Cole] Cactus Jack is back!

344
00:19:45,150 --> 00:19:48,787
Cactus Jack is back
and he's a dangerous human being.

345
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:52,591
Cactus Jack after Triple H,
and here we go.

346
00:19:52,658 --> 00:19:56,328
Cactus Jack hammering away
on the WWE Champion.

347
00:19:56,395 --> 00:19:57,663
Get out of there, Game.

348
00:19:58,730 --> 00:20:02,100
Mick Foley is more vicious,
more dangerous than ever, King.

349
00:20:03,936 --> 00:20:07,005
Cactus Jack [indistinct] Mick Foley.

350
00:20:07,072 --> 00:20:10,242
And there's the phony Mankind
with a steel chair.

351
00:20:10,309 --> 00:20:13,412
-[Lawler] Get in.
-[Cole] Cactus Jack.

352
00:20:14,313 --> 00:20:16,081
-[Lawler] What?
-[Cole] Wait a minute.

353
00:20:16,148 --> 00:20:18,083
Cactus Jack, look out.

354
00:20:18,150 --> 00:20:19,484
Cactus Jack with a chair

355
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:22,454
-and hammering away on the phony Mankind.
-[grunts]

356
00:20:25,424 --> 00:20:27,526
-[Lawler] Watch it.
-[Cole] Look out now.

357
00:20:27,593 --> 00:20:30,295
Cactus Jack throwing
Mankind through the ropes.

358
00:20:31,897 --> 00:20:35,434
-[Lawler] He's dangerous, Michael.
-[Cole] Yeah, Triple H is very dangerous.

359
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:37,869
Oh, look out! Look out now. Incoming!

360
00:20:37,936 --> 00:20:40,839
The phony Mankind
flying over the announcer table.

361
00:20:40,906 --> 00:20:41,740
[Lawler] What happened?

362
00:20:41,807 --> 00:20:44,376
[Cole] Triple H and Stephanie
watching from the stage.

363
00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:46,845
-Look out, King!
-[grunts]

364
00:20:46,912 --> 00:20:50,415
Towards the back of the head
of the phony Mankind.

365
00:20:51,383 --> 00:20:53,585
King, do you think Triple H
knows what the hell

366
00:20:53,652 --> 00:20:56,321
he's gotten himself into
for the Royal Rumble?

367
00:20:56,888 --> 00:20:58,323
[Lawler] No, I don't.

368
00:20:58,390 --> 00:21:00,692
This is not good.
There's that music, Michael.

369
00:21:01,326 --> 00:21:03,028
This guy's psychotic.

370
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:04,830
-[Cole] King…
-He's homicidal.

371
00:21:04,896 --> 00:21:06,832
[Cole] The metamorphosis is complete.

372
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:13,372
He's more vicious and dangerous
than ever… Cactus Jack.

373
00:21:13,438 --> 00:21:19,177
Triple H, so at the Royal Rumble,
you're gonna make me bleed?

374
00:21:19,244 --> 00:21:25,450
[panting] I've got some news for you,
it will not be the first time,

375
00:21:26,818 --> 00:21:30,355
and it sure as hell will not be the last,

376
00:21:30,422 --> 00:21:33,358
because I've got an awful lot of blood
to give.

377
00:21:35,727 --> 00:21:37,296
[Lawler] That's a scary thought.

378
00:21:39,464 --> 00:21:43,101
But as far as you, you look into my eyes

379
00:21:43,168 --> 00:21:46,204
and realize I mean every word

380
00:21:46,271 --> 00:21:50,976
when I tell you I'm gonna tear you apart
in New York City.

381
00:21:51,043 --> 00:21:55,047
[crowd cheering]

382
00:21:56,748 --> 00:21:58,483
[panting]

383
00:21:58,550 --> 00:22:03,021
And then I will take
what you hold dearest…

384
00:22:03,088 --> 00:22:08,660
I'm talking about your cherished
WWE Championship belt.

385
00:22:09,294 --> 00:22:11,697
[breathes heavily]

386
00:22:11,763 --> 00:22:17,102
I will take it and it will be mine, mine!

387
00:22:17,636 --> 00:22:19,838
All mine! Bang, bang!

388
00:22:19,905 --> 00:22:21,440
[crowd cheering]

389
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,208
[Lawler] Insane, he's deranged.

390
00:22:24,042 --> 00:22:27,379
[Cole] Does Triple H have any idea
what he's getting himself into

391
00:22:27,446 --> 00:22:29,881
in ten days at the Royal Rumble?

392
00:22:29,948 --> 00:22:32,651
It's now Cactus Jack, Triple H,

393
00:22:32,718 --> 00:22:36,388
with the World Wrestling Entertainment
Championship on the line.

394
00:22:36,455 --> 00:22:38,390
The metamorphosis is complete.

395
00:22:38,457 --> 00:22:40,125
Cactus Jack is back.

396
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:41,460
[Lawler] This is bad.

397
00:22:43,428 --> 00:22:45,764
[Cole] We're back on SmackDown.
And King, what a shocker.

398
00:22:45,831 --> 00:22:49,201
Cactus Jack is back, and look
what he did to the phony Mankind.

399
00:22:49,267 --> 00:22:50,936
Oh, man.

400
00:22:51,737 --> 00:22:54,072
And then Cactus Jack left Triple H
with these words

401
00:22:54,139 --> 00:22:56,375
about the most cherished thing
he plans to take

402
00:22:56,441 --> 00:22:58,443
from The Game at the Royal Rumble.

403
00:22:58,510 --> 00:23:04,182
I'm talking about your cherished
WWE Championship belt.

404
00:23:04,249 --> 00:23:06,885
-[panting]
-[crowd cheering]

405
00:23:06,952 --> 00:23:11,123
I will take it and it will be mine.

406
00:23:11,189 --> 00:23:13,759
Mine, all mine!

407
00:23:13,825 --> 00:23:15,160
Bang, bang!

408
00:23:15,227 --> 00:23:19,765
[Cole] Cactus Jack, the most aggressive
Superstar the WWE has ever known.

409
00:23:19,831 --> 00:23:21,633
♪ Oh, you didn't know? ♪

410
00:23:23,368 --> 00:23:28,940
♪ Your ass better call somebody ♪

411
00:23:29,007 --> 00:23:31,309
[Cole] What else is gonna happen
on SmackDown here tonight?

412
00:23:31,376 --> 00:23:34,713
King, this match-up here
was set up by Triple H

413
00:23:34,780 --> 00:23:36,882
and it should go a long way
in, uh, repairing

414
00:23:36,948 --> 00:23:40,085
Triple H's relationship
with his DX brethren.

415
00:23:42,220 --> 00:23:45,991
Chicago, you're damn right.

416
00:23:47,759 --> 00:23:49,127
This is me.

417
00:23:49,194 --> 00:23:50,395
It's me.

418
00:23:50,462 --> 00:23:53,098
It's the D-O-Double-G…

419
00:23:54,099 --> 00:23:57,736
rolling once again with that B-A-Double-D.

420
00:23:59,371 --> 00:24:02,040
[Cole] The New Age Outlaws set
for a handicap match-up here

421
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:03,608
against Bradshaw, The Acolytes.

422
00:24:03,675 --> 00:24:06,912
You saw The Outlaws go
one-on-one against each other

423
00:24:06,978 --> 00:24:08,246
this past Monday night on Raw.

424
00:24:08,313 --> 00:24:10,182
[Lawler] Yeah.
And this is part of the repair job

425
00:24:10,248 --> 00:24:13,151
that… that Triple H has got to perform
here on DX.

426
00:24:13,218 --> 00:24:16,922
I mean, they were on the verge
of being completely decimated

427
00:24:16,988 --> 00:24:17,889
Monday night on Raw,

428
00:24:17,956 --> 00:24:21,593
but hopefully, hopefully this will
help put things back together.

429
00:24:21,660 --> 00:24:23,328
[Cole] Well, two motives in this match-up.

430
00:24:23,395 --> 00:24:26,231
One, to repair the strained
relations with DX.

431
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:28,433
-Two, to decimate The Acolytes.
-Cut the music.

432
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:29,734
[music stops]

433
00:24:32,604 --> 00:24:35,307
The Outlaws would love not to worry
about The Acolytes.

434
00:24:35,373 --> 00:24:40,445
Chi-Town, welcome to the Dogg House.

435
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:43,782
[audience boos]

436
00:24:48,019 --> 00:24:51,656
Whether you're a foe or a fan,

437
00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:55,026
it is too grand,

438
00:24:55,093 --> 00:24:57,963
and we are the man,

439
00:24:58,029 --> 00:25:01,333
and if you don't like it, you can…

440
00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:03,468
[crowd chatter]

441
00:25:03,535 --> 00:25:06,438
Not yet, that's Billy's part, you idiots.

442
00:25:06,504 --> 00:25:07,572
[Lawler] Huh!

443
00:25:09,474 --> 00:25:11,510
And of course,
if you're not down with that,

444
00:25:11,576 --> 00:25:14,446
we got two words for you.

445
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:16,748
-[crowd chants] Suck it!
-[Cole] There they are.

446
00:25:16,815 --> 00:25:18,817
Well, in ten days, at the Royal Rumble,

447
00:25:18,884 --> 00:25:21,620
The New Age Outlaws will defend
the Tag Team Titles

448
00:25:21,686 --> 00:25:23,054
against The Acolytes.

449
00:25:23,121 --> 00:25:24,990
[Lawler] Wait a minute,
don't get ahead of yourself.

450
00:25:25,490 --> 00:25:27,058
-[Cole] Why?
-That can all go out the window

451
00:25:27,125 --> 00:25:28,493
right here tonight.

452
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,061
Two ways as a matter of fact.

453
00:25:30,128 --> 00:25:31,630
Either The New Age Outlaws

454
00:25:31,696 --> 00:25:34,399
completely destroy The Acolytes
one by one,

455
00:25:34,466 --> 00:25:36,501
or either The Acolytes… wait a minute.

456
00:25:36,568 --> 00:25:39,170
Bradshaw brought… he brought
some ammunition with him.

457
00:25:39,237 --> 00:25:40,772
Powder to the eyes of the Road Dogg

458
00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:43,275
and No Disqualification
in this match-up, King.

459
00:25:43,341 --> 00:25:45,610
-[Lawler] No Disqualification?
-[Cole] And Bradshaw sending Billy

460
00:25:45,677 --> 00:25:47,379
over those steel stairs.

461
00:25:47,445 --> 00:25:50,782
Bradshaw trying to isolate The Outlaws
in this handicap match-up, King,

462
00:25:50,849 --> 00:25:53,218
but with no disqualifications,
set up by Triple H.

463
00:25:53,285 --> 00:25:55,253
If Faarooq interferes in this match,

464
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,324
The Acolytes will forfeit their title shot
at the Royal Rumble.

465
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:01,593
[Lawler] It's not fair.
Road Dogg can't see, he's blinded.

466
00:26:01,660 --> 00:26:03,061
[Cole] Well, No Disqualification.

467
00:26:03,128 --> 00:26:04,829
This will not be for the weak of heart.

468
00:26:04,896 --> 00:26:08,433
And Road Dogg flying over the table,
and here comes Bradshaw.

469
00:26:09,034 --> 00:26:10,769
Billy Gunn, face first.

470
00:26:19,511 --> 00:26:22,213
Bradshaw has left New Age Outlaw carnage

471
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,215
here at ringside at the announcer table.

472
00:26:24,282 --> 00:26:26,318
And now steel steps into the ring.

473
00:26:26,985 --> 00:26:29,154
-Billy Gunn has been isolated.
-[grunts]

474
00:26:31,489 --> 00:26:32,624
And Bradshaw now.

475
00:26:32,691 --> 00:26:34,459
Oh, he's not gonna do this. Wait a minute.

476
00:26:34,526 --> 00:26:37,529
Road Dogg with a steel chair
to the back of Bradshaw,

477
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:39,698
and Billy Gunn
with the big back body drop.

478
00:26:39,764 --> 00:26:40,865
Whew! Thank goodness.

479
00:26:42,133 --> 00:26:46,538
DX's goal over the past few weeks
has been to eliminate The Acolytes.

480
00:26:46,605 --> 00:26:49,307
So The Outlaws wouldn't have
to face him at the Royal Rumble

481
00:26:49,374 --> 00:26:51,176
and they're doing a good job of it
right now.

482
00:26:51,242 --> 00:26:53,345
Steel steps to the head of Bradshaw.

483
00:26:56,281 --> 00:26:58,550
[Lawler] Oh, I tell you, all of this
thanks to good old Triple H.

484
00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:02,420
What a guy. Talk about fairness,
that idiot Bradshaw…

485
00:27:03,088 --> 00:27:04,923
Oh, poor Road Dogg right here,
right on me.

486
00:27:04,990 --> 00:27:07,325
[Cole] Well, King, you know, Triple H…

487
00:27:07,392 --> 00:27:09,361
Triple H can't fire anybody anymore.

488
00:27:09,427 --> 00:27:11,496
He can't go around firing people.

489
00:27:12,397 --> 00:27:14,432
He should fire these Acolytes.

490
00:27:14,499 --> 00:27:17,302
Well, this is how he's gonna
take care of people he doesn't like.

491
00:27:17,802 --> 00:27:21,740
[laughs] Case in point, if Faarooq can't
come out here to help out his partner,

492
00:27:21,806 --> 00:27:23,208
The Acolytes are gonna have to forfeit

493
00:27:23,274 --> 00:27:26,311
that Tag Team Title match
against The Outlaws at the Rumble.

494
00:27:26,378 --> 00:27:27,879
[Lawler] Yeah,
you don't think that's fair?

495
00:27:27,946 --> 00:27:29,781
We don't need outside interference
in these matches.

496
00:27:29,848 --> 00:27:32,017
-[Cole] Oh, yeah, that's real fair.
-[Lawler] Wow!

497
00:27:32,817 --> 00:27:34,519
[Cole] Steel chair
to the back of Bradshaw.

498
00:27:34,586 --> 00:27:37,389
Keep in mind, this is No Disqualification.

499
00:27:37,455 --> 00:27:38,623
-That's fair.
-And The Outlaws

500
00:27:38,690 --> 00:27:40,225
are gonna get a chance to take out Faarooq

501
00:27:40,291 --> 00:27:43,528
in a handicap match a little bit later on
with the same stipulation.

502
00:27:43,595 --> 00:27:45,830
-No outside interference…
-[Lawler] Oh, Bradshaw on the boot.

503
00:27:45,897 --> 00:27:50,402
And here comes Bradshaw [indistinct]
getting DDT'd by the Road Dogg.

504
00:27:50,468 --> 00:27:52,937
[Cole] Planting Bradshaw
in the middle of the ring.

505
00:27:53,004 --> 00:27:56,141
It has been a wild night
in Chicago already.

506
00:27:56,207 --> 00:28:00,145
Cactus Jack has returned
and will meet Triple H in ten days

507
00:28:00,211 --> 00:28:03,081
at the Royal Rumble for the WWE Title.

508
00:28:05,116 --> 00:28:07,452
And look at The Outlaws doing
a number on Bradshaw.

509
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:10,121
Take your time, guys.
We got a long time here.

510
00:28:10,188 --> 00:28:14,926
Just really, really torturing,
pulverizing, punishing.

511
00:28:14,993 --> 00:28:16,361
Billy Gunn with a right-hand,

512
00:28:16,428 --> 00:28:19,130
Road Dogg lying in wait
with that steel chair.

513
00:28:20,665 --> 00:28:25,136
And Bradshaw has been beaten silly
by The New Age Outlaws.

514
00:28:25,203 --> 00:28:26,237
-[Lawler] Oh, watch this.
-Oh!

515
00:28:26,304 --> 00:28:28,740
[Cole] Boot to the face!
Bradshaw has got something left.

516
00:28:28,807 --> 00:28:30,341
-Look at this.
-[grunts]

517
00:28:30,408 --> 00:28:32,377
And Bradshaw catching Billy Gunn,

518
00:28:32,444 --> 00:28:34,379
steel chair to the head of Bradshaw.

519
00:28:34,446 --> 00:28:36,881
Billy falls on and hooks the leg
and it's over.

520
00:28:36,948 --> 00:28:37,782
[bell rings]

521
00:28:37,849 --> 00:28:41,319
The New Age Outlaws have accomplished
the first part of their mission.

522
00:28:41,386 --> 00:28:43,722
[announcer] The New Age Outlaws.

523
00:28:43,788 --> 00:28:46,424
[Cole] They have defeated Bradshaw,
The Acolytes,

524
00:28:46,491 --> 00:28:49,794
and Faarooq is next
on The Outlaws' hit list.

525
00:28:50,662 --> 00:28:53,631
We can thank Triple H for this.
This was a great match.

526
00:28:56,101 --> 00:28:58,269
It was a steel chair
to the head of Bradshaw

527
00:28:58,336 --> 00:29:00,605
that allowed The Outlaws
to pick up the victory.

528
00:29:01,673 --> 00:29:04,042
Standing by right now, the People's Champ,

529
00:29:04,109 --> 00:29:05,577
-The Rock.
-[Lawler] Huh!

530
00:29:05,643 --> 00:29:06,978
Standing by with The Rock.

531
00:29:07,045 --> 00:29:09,814
And Rock, how do you feel
about teaming up with the--

532
00:29:09,881 --> 00:29:13,885
[crowd cheering]

533
00:29:13,952 --> 00:29:20,959
[crowd chanting "Rocky!"]

534
00:29:25,130 --> 00:29:31,269
Finally, The Rock has come
back to Chicago.

535
00:29:31,336 --> 00:29:35,006
[crowd cheering]

536
00:29:36,207 --> 00:29:38,209
Rock, how do you feel about tonight?

537
00:29:41,446 --> 00:29:43,581
Before you ask The Rock any questions,

538
00:29:44,349 --> 00:29:46,251
The Rock has got a question of his own.

539
00:29:47,018 --> 00:29:48,987
Who are you?

540
00:29:53,925 --> 00:29:56,394
It's okay. You can answer The Rock.

541
00:29:57,829 --> 00:30:02,233
Well, Rock, if… if it matters,
my name is Jonathan Coachman.

542
00:30:03,234 --> 00:30:04,202
Jonathan?

543
00:30:05,236 --> 00:30:06,538
Well, that's interesting.

544
00:30:07,739 --> 00:30:09,974
Well, Jonathan, welcome to the WWE,

545
00:30:10,041 --> 00:30:13,278
and welcome to The Rock's show, SmackDown.

546
00:30:13,344 --> 00:30:16,648
[crowd cheering]

547
00:30:17,215 --> 00:30:20,585
Well, thank you, Rock, but actually
they call me "Coach" for short.

548
00:30:21,586 --> 00:30:22,921
They call you what?

549
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:25,190
They call-- they call me Coach.

550
00:30:25,924 --> 00:30:27,225
"Coach"?

551
00:30:27,292 --> 00:30:30,461
Coach as in the coach
of the little girls' softball team?

552
00:30:30,528 --> 00:30:31,563
Coach?

553
00:30:34,032 --> 00:30:35,567
Ask The Rock your question.

554
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:37,936
Well, Rock, how do you feel
about teaming up

555
00:30:38,002 --> 00:30:40,471
with The Big Show tonight on SmackDown?

556
00:30:40,939 --> 00:30:42,640
Well, The Rock feels like this.

557
00:30:42,707 --> 00:30:45,643
Teaming up with Big Show
or teaming up with Big Bird,

558
00:30:45,710 --> 00:30:48,546
The Rock's tag team partner
just doesn't matter to The Rock

559
00:30:48,613 --> 00:30:51,349
as long as The Rock gets to Triple H.

560
00:30:52,617 --> 00:30:55,887
But… seeing as The Big Show
is The Rock's partner,

561
00:30:55,954 --> 00:30:58,489
what better partner would The Rock
want to have?

562
00:30:58,556 --> 00:31:00,925
The Big Show, seven feet.

563
00:31:00,992 --> 00:31:03,061
The Big Show, 500 pounds.

564
00:31:03,127 --> 00:31:05,930
The Big Show, former WWE Champion,

565
00:31:05,997 --> 00:31:07,465
so The Rock is cool with that.

566
00:31:08,433 --> 00:31:11,469
But The Rock
has one more question for you.

567
00:31:14,405 --> 00:31:16,975
How is it… that, uh,

568
00:31:17,041 --> 00:31:19,110
you came up with the name Coach?

569
00:31:19,744 --> 00:31:21,145
When I was a kid, it was a nickname--

570
00:31:21,212 --> 00:31:24,782
It doesn't matter how you came up
with the name Coach.

571
00:31:24,849 --> 00:31:28,953
[crowd cheering]

572
00:31:31,856 --> 00:31:35,260
[crowd clamor]

573
00:31:37,629 --> 00:31:44,402
[crowd chanting "Rocky!"]

574
00:31:44,469 --> 00:31:48,072
If you smell what The Rock is cooking.

575
00:31:52,810 --> 00:31:56,114
[Cole] Back on SmackDown, and getting down
with Rikishi and Too Cool.

576
00:31:56,180 --> 00:31:57,448
And, King, guess what?

577
00:31:57,515 --> 00:32:01,219
All three of these guys are gonna be
involved in the Royal Rumble match,

578
00:32:01,286 --> 00:32:03,588
ten days away, from the Garden.

579
00:32:04,923 --> 00:32:07,158

[rock music playing]

588
00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:35,887
[announcer] And their opponents first,
from Mobile, Alabama,

589
00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:41,359
at a combined weight of allegedly
well over 800 pounds,

590
00:32:41,426 --> 00:32:44,495
Crash and Hardcore Holly.

591
00:32:44,562 --> 00:32:46,698
[Cole] Well, King, you know the Hollys
have had some success

592
00:32:46,764 --> 00:32:49,600
with the Jericho-Chyna team
over the past week,

593
00:32:49,667 --> 00:32:53,438
all because the co-Intercontinental
Champions can't work together.

594
00:32:53,504 --> 00:32:57,575
This past week on Raw,
Chris Jericho refused to tag Chyna.

595
00:32:57,642 --> 00:32:59,811
[Lawler] Look at that.
Every time she went for the tag,

596
00:32:59,877 --> 00:33:01,646
he gave her the old short arm.

597
00:33:02,113 --> 00:33:05,383
And that resulted in Chyna
taking the loss.

598
00:33:05,984 --> 00:33:08,086
[Cole] And the Hollys
picking up the victory.

599
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:11,622
And Hardcore and Crash tonight
are being forced to team up with the…

600
00:33:12,590 --> 00:33:15,159
[Lawler] You saw Jericho didn't seem
too upset about that either, did he?

601
00:33:15,226 --> 00:33:16,361
[Cole] Not at all.

602
00:33:17,929 --> 00:33:20,565
The Rikishi and Too Cool set for action.

603
00:33:21,232 --> 00:33:23,601
Hardcore and Crash Holly
on the other side.

604
00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:25,903
They're gonna be teaming up with Al Snow.

605
00:33:26,537 --> 00:33:28,005
And check out Crash…

606
00:33:29,374 --> 00:33:30,608
setting the scale.

607
00:33:30,675 --> 00:33:33,978
[announcer] And their tag team partner,
from Lima, Ohio,

608
00:33:34,045 --> 00:33:36,948
weighing in at 249 pounds,

609
00:33:37,682 --> 00:33:39,751
Al Snow.

610
00:33:39,817 --> 00:33:43,454
[Cole] So it's Al Snow and the Hollys
against Rikishi and Too Cool.

611
00:33:43,521 --> 00:33:46,357
[Lawler] I used-- I used to think this guy
was a big pain in the neck

612
00:33:46,424 --> 00:33:48,760
but now, I got a much lower opinion
of him.

613
00:33:48,826 --> 00:33:51,295
[intense rock music playing]

614
00:34:17,255 --> 00:34:20,558
Whoo! Look at… look at Rikishi,
I don't like seeing him that close,

615
00:34:20,625 --> 00:34:22,260
-that's like an extreme close up.
-[bell rings]

616
00:34:22,326 --> 00:34:26,030
[Cole] Well, we all know Al Snow
is a little out there,

617
00:34:26,097 --> 00:34:29,267
but he's also been having problems,
uh, playing with others,

618
00:34:29,333 --> 00:34:31,702
getting along with his tag team partners
in recent weeks.

619
00:34:31,769 --> 00:34:33,938
I saw some problems with Al Snow
and The Dudley Boyz

620
00:34:34,005 --> 00:34:36,007
and then this past Monday night on Raw,

621
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:38,609
Al Snow having some problems
with The Headbangers.

622
00:34:38,676 --> 00:34:40,812
[Lawler] Well, he's just simply
in a world of his own.

623
00:34:40,878 --> 00:34:41,913
Let's face it, it's--

624
00:34:41,979 --> 00:34:44,582
Oh, cheese has slid off his cracker
or something, I don't know.

625
00:34:44,649 --> 00:34:48,186
[Cole] So it's Hardcore Holly
going to work on Grandmaster Sexay.

626
00:34:48,252 --> 00:34:49,454
Reversal, Holly off the rope,

627
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,190
Sexay with a big knockdown
by Hardcore Holly.

628
00:34:52,256 --> 00:34:54,525
It's been a wild night already
on SmackDown.

629
00:34:54,592 --> 00:34:56,461
We've seen the return of Cactus Jack,

630
00:34:56,527 --> 00:35:00,164
who will meet Triple H in ten days
at the Royal Rumble.

631
00:35:00,231 --> 00:35:02,767
And, King, I have to ask you
the question I have.

632
00:35:02,834 --> 00:35:06,003
Do you think Triple H has any idea
what he's getting himself into

633
00:35:06,070 --> 00:35:08,673
-at Madison Square Garden in ten days?
-[Lawler] Well, I've told you once,

634
00:35:08,739 --> 00:35:11,943
I've told you a thousand times,
Triple H is The Game.

635
00:35:12,510 --> 00:35:14,212
Sure, it's gonna be tough,
it's gonna be rough.

636
00:35:14,278 --> 00:35:17,482
I mean, Cactus Jack is…
I said he's psychotic.

637
00:35:17,548 --> 00:35:19,917
-He'll do absolutely anything to anybody.
-[thud]

638
00:35:19,984 --> 00:35:22,253
Somehow, The Game
will find a way to prevail.

639
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,354
I… I believe in him.

640
00:35:23,421 --> 00:35:26,057
[Cole] Cactus Jack,
the most aggressive WWE Superstar

641
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:29,160
we've ever seen here
in World Wrestling Entertainment.

642
00:35:29,227 --> 00:35:31,762
Grandmaster Sexay going to work
on Crash Holly.

643
00:35:31,829 --> 00:35:34,532
Oh, man, that's pretty aggressive
right there.

644
00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:36,567
Look at this. Getting jiggy with it.

645
00:35:36,634 --> 00:35:39,504
A little bit of dancing
for Grandmaster Sexay,

646
00:35:39,570 --> 00:35:41,305
and makes the tag
and here comes his partner,

647
00:35:41,372 --> 00:35:42,874
Scotty 2 Hotty.

648
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:45,209
[Lawler] I bet you wish you could dress
cool like those guys.

649
00:35:45,276 --> 00:35:46,911
All your cool clothes
must be in the wash, huh?

650
00:35:46,978 --> 00:35:48,579
-[Cole] I think I dress fine.
-[grunts]

651
00:35:48,646 --> 00:35:50,047
Scotty 2 Hotty off the rope,

652
00:35:50,114 --> 00:35:52,250
switch in there by Crash,
big shoulder knock down.

653
00:35:52,316 --> 00:35:55,019
-[crowd cheering]
-And Scotty 2 Hotty enjoying that one.

654
00:35:56,687 --> 00:35:59,390
Big leapfrog by Crash,
went for the hip toss,

655
00:35:59,457 --> 00:36:01,959
countered, Scotty 2 Hotty again.

656
00:36:02,894 --> 00:36:03,861
[Lawler] Watch it.

657
00:36:04,562 --> 00:36:06,764
[Cole] Oh, what a kick to the midsection.

658
00:36:09,066 --> 00:36:10,735
-[Lawler] Oh, I can… here we go.
-[thud]

659
00:36:11,569 --> 00:36:14,038
[Cole] King, still to come tonight,
Triple H and X-Pac,

660
00:36:14,105 --> 00:36:18,009
as Triple H continues to try to repair
the wounds with D-Generation X,

661
00:36:18,075 --> 00:36:21,312
are gonna team up to take on
The Rock and The Big Show.

662
00:36:21,379 --> 00:36:23,681
Look at the bulldog by Scotty 2 Hotty.

663
00:36:23,748 --> 00:36:27,752
[Lawler] I don't really understand exactly
how that's doing the-- Oh, look at this.

664
00:36:27,818 --> 00:36:29,587
I think we're gonna see The Worm!

665
00:36:29,654 --> 00:36:32,723
-[Cole] I thought it's The Centipede.
-[Lawler] That is The Worm. Hoo! Hoo!

666
00:36:32,790 --> 00:36:34,825
[crowd chanting]

667
00:36:34,892 --> 00:36:35,893
[Cole] Got him!

668
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,430
That shot to the chest of Crash Holly
by Scotty 2 Hotty.

669
00:36:41,265 --> 00:36:42,900
Scotty 2 Hotty ripped off the ropes,

670
00:36:42,967 --> 00:36:47,071
and look at that-- from behind,
Al Snow hammering away on Scotty 2 Hotty.

671
00:36:48,205 --> 00:36:50,241
Big right-hands by Al Snow,
who isn't quite there,

672
00:36:50,308 --> 00:36:52,276
or hasn't been there
for the past few weeks.

673
00:36:52,343 --> 00:36:54,679
He was one of the only Superstars
in World Wrestling Entertainment

674
00:36:54,745 --> 00:36:56,447
happy to see Mick Foley fired.

675
00:36:58,282 --> 00:37:01,252
Mick Foley has been since reinstated
in the state of that metamorphosis

676
00:37:01,319 --> 00:37:03,654
to Cactus Jack,
as we saw earlier on tonight.

677
00:37:03,721 --> 00:37:04,589
[Lawler] I hate that.

678
00:37:04,655 --> 00:37:07,158
[Cole] You're talking about that Rock,
Big Show, X-Pac, Triple H match,

679
00:37:07,225 --> 00:37:08,726
and I knew where you were going with that.

680
00:37:08,793 --> 00:37:10,428
Doesn't seem like much
of a reward for X-Pac

681
00:37:10,494 --> 00:37:13,965
-to take on The Rock and Big Show.
-[Lawler] Right. I don't get it either.

682
00:37:14,031 --> 00:37:16,300
[Cole] Do you think The Rock
and Big Show can get along?

683
00:37:17,168 --> 00:37:19,637
Both of those men will be
in the Royal Rumble match

684
00:37:19,704 --> 00:37:21,572
in ten days at the Rumble.

685
00:37:21,639 --> 00:37:23,407
[Lawler] Remember when The Rock said--
Look out!

686
00:37:23,474 --> 00:37:24,542
[Cole] Oh, man.

687
00:37:24,609 --> 00:37:28,012
[Lawler] Remember The Rock said
he was gonna throw 29 other jabronis

688
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:29,880
over the top rope at the Royal Rumble?

689
00:37:29,947 --> 00:37:30,982
[Cole] Yeah.

690
00:37:31,048 --> 00:37:32,917
[Lawler] I guess he means
he thinks that The Big Show

691
00:37:32,984 --> 00:37:34,218
is one of those jabronis.

692
00:37:34,852 --> 00:37:37,421
[Cole] Crowd starting to come alive
for Scotty 2 Hotty,

693
00:37:37,488 --> 00:37:39,457
both Scotty 2 Hotty
and Hardcore in trouble.

694
00:37:39,523 --> 00:37:41,859
Al Snow is begging for a tag.

695
00:37:41,926 --> 00:37:44,295
[Lawler] I saw Rikishi having a…
I wanna see Rikishi in there.

696
00:37:44,362 --> 00:37:45,730
Get the big man in.

697
00:37:45,796 --> 00:37:49,133
[Cole] Hardcore to the corner,
makes the tag to his cousin Crash

698
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,301
and here comes Rikishi.

699
00:37:50,368 --> 00:37:53,704
Rikishi, well over 400 pounds,
hammering away on Crash Holly.

700
00:37:53,771 --> 00:37:55,039
What a chop.

701
00:37:55,106 --> 00:37:56,807
[Lawler] Four hundred pounds?
This guy is huge.

702
00:37:57,808 --> 00:37:59,810
His belly button doesn't have lint,
it has sweaters.

703
00:37:59,877 --> 00:38:01,178
[Lawler] Oh, man.

704
00:38:01,846 --> 00:38:05,483
[Cole] Rikishi Phatu.
Oh, what a kick to the face of Al Snow.

705
00:38:05,549 --> 00:38:06,817
[Lawler] Unreal.

706
00:38:06,884 --> 00:38:09,720
[Cole] Hardcore, kicker,
nice dropkick to the face of Rikishi,

707
00:38:09,787 --> 00:38:10,888
knocking the big man down,

708
00:38:10,955 --> 00:38:13,391
but he better not start
the celebration quite yet.

709
00:38:13,457 --> 00:38:15,026
[Lawler] Now, watch at your back!

710
00:38:15,092 --> 00:38:17,261
[Cole] Hardcore walked into
the belly-to-belly.

711
00:38:19,563 --> 00:38:20,698
[Lawler] Uh-oh.

712
00:38:20,765 --> 00:38:22,233
[Cole] Double-team outside the ring.

713
00:38:22,299 --> 00:38:25,403
Too Cool slamming Al Snow
into the steel ring post.

714
00:38:25,870 --> 00:38:27,638
Crash Holly's in La La Land.

715
00:38:27,705 --> 00:38:29,640
Here comes that sit-out piledriver.

716
00:38:30,408 --> 00:38:31,809
[Lawler] Oh my gosh. Got it.

717
00:38:32,343 --> 00:38:35,846
[Cole] Rikishi planting Crash Holly,
who is the legal man,

718
00:38:35,913 --> 00:38:37,715
-and this one is over.
-[bell ringing]

719
00:38:37,782 --> 00:38:39,750
[Lawler] Poor Crash bounced
about three feet in the air.

720
00:38:39,817 --> 00:38:45,589
[announcer] Here are your winners,
Too Cool and Rikishi Phatu.

721
00:38:46,390 --> 00:38:48,726
-[Lawler] Look.
-[Cole] Hardcore and Crash Holly…

722
00:38:50,895 --> 00:38:52,129
Where is he going?

723
00:38:53,397 --> 00:38:55,399
[Lawler] A little hand to
get out of there, Al, you lost.

724
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,702
[Cole] Too Cool and Rikishi
pick up the win

725
00:38:57,768 --> 00:38:59,270
over the Hollys and Al Snow.

726
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:00,938
[Lawler] What's he doing? Look at this.

727
00:39:01,005 --> 00:39:02,673
What is Al Snow doing now?

728
00:39:02,740 --> 00:39:04,475
-He hitting the-- Oh!
-[Cole] He just knocked

729
00:39:04,542 --> 00:39:06,310
Crash and Hardcore down.

730
00:39:08,412 --> 00:39:10,748
I cannot depend on anybody!

731
00:39:10,815 --> 00:39:14,185
Every single time, you let me down!

732
00:39:15,319 --> 00:39:17,855
All I want… is one partner.

733
00:39:17,922 --> 00:39:20,224
[Cole] King, I'll tell you,
Al Snow is not making any friends

734
00:39:20,291 --> 00:39:21,892
before the Royal Rumble.

735
00:39:21,959 --> 00:39:24,929
And the Royal Rumble match,
in which Al Snow will be a part,

736
00:39:24,995 --> 00:39:26,364
is just ten days.

737
00:39:27,631 --> 00:39:29,400
[Lawler] Al, he's an idiot. Let's face it.

738
00:39:29,467 --> 00:39:30,434
Hey, wait a minute.

739
00:39:31,102 --> 00:39:34,405
This crowd is on its feet,
and I think they want Rikishi,

740
00:39:34,472 --> 00:39:37,408
as does Too Cool,
to come back into the ring and…

741
00:39:37,475 --> 00:39:39,043
and get jiggy with it.

742
00:39:40,044 --> 00:39:41,178
It's like at a rock concert.

743
00:39:41,245 --> 00:39:43,748
Look at the people, they got
their lighters out and everything.

744
00:39:43,814 --> 00:39:47,785
The curtain call.
And sunglasses to boot for Rikishi.

745
00:39:50,221 --> 00:39:52,056
There's some sort
of transformation there too

746
00:39:52,123 --> 00:39:54,859
when he gets those… those shades on.

747
00:39:54,925 --> 00:39:56,160
He gets really cool.

748
00:39:56,227 --> 00:39:58,462
[funky R&B music playing]

749
00:39:58,529 --> 00:39:59,463
Look at this.

750
00:40:00,431 --> 00:40:01,799
Look. [laughs]

751
00:40:01,866 --> 00:40:06,070
[Lawler] Rikishi and Too Cool
getting down on SmackDown.

752
00:40:06,137 --> 00:40:07,972
[crowd cheering]

753
00:40:10,207 --> 00:40:12,910
I got to admit, King,
he's got rhythm for a big man.

754
00:40:17,348 --> 00:40:18,883
[Lawler] Oh, look at this. [laughs]

755
00:40:18,949 --> 00:40:21,786
[Cole] Check it out! Rikishi getting down.

756
00:40:21,852 --> 00:40:25,055
And the crowd, they love it. Oh!

757
00:40:25,656 --> 00:40:28,025
I just wanna tell you guys,
congratulations.

758
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:30,361
-[Road Dogg] One down and one to go.
-Right.

759
00:40:30,428 --> 00:40:32,196
-One to go.
-You guys are doing great.

760
00:40:32,263 --> 00:40:34,131
Hey, you guys see X-Pac?

761
00:40:34,198 --> 00:40:35,533
Yeah. Where is he?

762
00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:38,002
He's been busy.
I ain't see nobody but him and…

763
00:40:38,602 --> 00:40:41,572
[rock music playing]

764
00:40:43,073 --> 00:40:47,444
[Cole] He is the most aggressive Superstar
that WWE has ever seen.

765
00:40:48,045 --> 00:40:51,682
Cactus Jack carved his name
and hardcore legend in Japan,

766
00:40:51,749 --> 00:40:55,586
wrestling in rings surrounded
with razor sharp barbed wire.

767
00:40:56,353 --> 00:40:59,790
Cactus Jack has total disregard
for his body,

768
00:40:59,857 --> 00:41:02,893
yet he seems to draw strength
from his pain.

769
00:41:03,727 --> 00:41:07,231
Cactus Jack is more sadistic,
more dangerous than anyone

770
00:41:07,298 --> 00:41:11,702
as Triple H will find out firsthand
in 10 days at the Royal Rumble.

771
00:41:12,069 --> 00:41:15,673
Cactus Jack, Triple H,
in a street fight for the title.

772
00:41:15,739 --> 00:41:19,310
It may be the wildest match
Madison Square Garden has ever seen.

773
00:41:23,914 --> 00:41:26,217
[Cole] It is gonna be a war
at the Royal Rumble.

774
00:41:26,283 --> 00:41:27,818
We're just ten days away.

775
00:41:27,885 --> 00:41:31,155
["The Brood" playing]

776
00:41:53,477 --> 00:41:55,779
So Gangrel being accompanied
to the ring by Luna.

777
00:41:55,846 --> 00:41:57,248
[music continues]

778
00:41:57,314 --> 00:41:59,483
Gonna have his hands full tonight
with this man.

779
00:42:01,819 --> 00:42:06,957
[announcer] And his opponent,
he weighs in 282 pounds,

780
00:42:07,525 --> 00:42:08,626
Test.

781
00:42:09,193 --> 00:42:10,961
[Cole] Well, King, on Raw Monday night,

782
00:42:11,028 --> 00:42:12,763
we saw Test team with The Big Show

783
00:42:12,830 --> 00:42:14,932
to take on the Big Boss Man
and Prince Albert.

784
00:42:14,999 --> 00:42:16,066
[Lawler] Right.

785
00:42:16,133 --> 00:42:17,601
[Cole] What a match that was too.

786
00:42:19,303 --> 00:42:23,140
It was The Big Show, and then Test
followed it up with the boot,

787
00:42:23,207 --> 00:42:26,644
and then Test delivering that elbow
from high over the top rope,

788
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:29,680
the exclamation point helping Test
and The Show

789
00:42:29,747 --> 00:42:32,950
pick up the win over the Boss Man
and Prince Albert.

790
00:42:33,484 --> 00:42:36,453
So Test has had his share
of women problems as of late,

791
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,858
particularly with his former fiancée,
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

792
00:42:41,759 --> 00:42:44,395
[Lawler] Not to mention,
remember the little incident where he,

793
00:42:44,461 --> 00:42:47,231
I guess, sexually harassed Tori?

794
00:42:47,298 --> 00:42:49,800
-[Lawler] What are you talking about?
-[Cole] Oh, I don't know.

795
00:42:50,668 --> 00:42:52,236
Test with a right-hand to Gangrel.

796
00:42:52,303 --> 00:42:54,271
Gangrel whipped across the ring.

797
00:42:54,338 --> 00:42:57,041
-[Lawler] But Tori said-- Oh!
-Boots to the face now with Test.

798
00:42:57,107 --> 00:42:59,076
Going to work again on that nose.

799
00:42:59,143 --> 00:43:00,544
Kick to the midsection.

800
00:43:00,611 --> 00:43:03,280
Gangrel, nice takedown by Gangrel.

801
00:43:03,347 --> 00:43:06,250
Later on tonight,
Triple H is gonna team with X-Pac.

802
00:43:07,418 --> 00:43:10,154
Triple H and X-Pac
are gonna take on The Big Show

803
00:43:10,220 --> 00:43:13,057
and The Rock later on here tonight
on SmackDown.

804
00:43:13,123 --> 00:43:15,726
-[Lawler] Watch your nose there, Test.
-[Cole] Oh, Luna.

805
00:43:15,793 --> 00:43:18,062
[Lawler] Look, Mom, more women trouble.
[laughs]

806
00:43:19,196 --> 00:43:21,365
[Cole] Luna raking her nails
across the back of Test.

807
00:43:21,432 --> 00:43:23,734
[Lawler] Just don't hit his nose.
He's already had more nose jobs

808
00:43:23,801 --> 00:43:24,902
than Linda Tripp.

809
00:43:24,969 --> 00:43:27,438
[Cole] You know, King,
Triple H says it's a reward for X-Pac

810
00:43:27,504 --> 00:43:29,340
to be involved in this tag team
match-up with him

811
00:43:29,406 --> 00:43:30,874
against The Big Show and The Rock.

812
00:43:30,941 --> 00:43:32,476
I still can't figure that one out.

813
00:43:32,543 --> 00:43:33,777
Nice elbow to the sternum.

814
00:43:34,278 --> 00:43:36,647
[Lawler] So once again,
you're doubting Triple H's word?

815
00:43:37,681 --> 00:43:40,017
-[Cole] Here we go now, cover by Gangrel.
-Uh!

816
00:43:40,084 --> 00:43:43,187
And a kick out after two by Gangrel.

817
00:43:43,253 --> 00:43:45,956
Now, check out Luna,
Gangrel's love of his life.

818
00:43:46,023 --> 00:43:47,625
Oh, look at this here. Oh!

819
00:43:48,258 --> 00:43:49,760
Test with right-hands to Gangrel again.

820
00:43:49,827 --> 00:43:50,961
Gangrel ducks up underneath,

821
00:43:51,028 --> 00:43:54,698
and Test with a boot to the face
of Gangrel, right on the forehead.

822
00:43:54,765 --> 00:43:56,133
[Lawler] What about Gangrel's nose?

823
00:43:57,835 --> 00:44:01,372
[Cole] Test, reversal off the ropes.
Oh, kick to the midsection.

824
00:44:01,438 --> 00:44:03,507
-Test set Gangrel up. Look out.
-[Lawler] Oh no. Look out.

825
00:44:03,574 --> 00:44:05,142
[Cole] Oh, what a slam by Test.

826
00:44:05,209 --> 00:44:06,677
Cover, hooks the leg,

827
00:44:06,744 --> 00:44:09,713
referee distracted by Luna,
who's on the apron.

828
00:44:09,780 --> 00:44:11,382
[Lawler] You leave the woman alone, Test.

829
00:44:13,150 --> 00:44:15,185
[Cole] Gangrel counters,
rolls him over, small package,

830
00:44:15,252 --> 00:44:16,453
hooks the leg, there's two.

831
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,422
And Test kicks out
before the count of three.

832
00:44:18,489 --> 00:44:20,357
Almost a big upset by Gangrel.

833
00:44:23,227 --> 00:44:24,662
[Lawler] Why would it be an upset?

834
00:44:24,728 --> 00:44:28,332
[Cole] Both Test and Gangrel will be
involved in the Royal Rumble match…

835
00:44:28,399 --> 00:44:29,233
Wait a minute.

836
00:44:29,299 --> 00:44:32,636
Gangrel is using the ropes
but Test still kicks out after two.

837
00:44:32,703 --> 00:44:34,204
-Come on.
-[Cole] Gangrel getting leverage

838
00:44:34,271 --> 00:44:36,006
on the ropes that time.

839
00:44:36,073 --> 00:44:37,975
Test kicked out after the count of two.

840
00:44:38,442 --> 00:44:39,977
Look out, Gangrel in trouble.

841
00:44:40,044 --> 00:44:43,213
Oh, what power! Cover, hooks the leg…

842
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,716
Wait a minute, Luna…
Luna just grabbed referee Teddy Long,

843
00:44:45,783 --> 00:44:47,084
and pulled him out of the ring.

844
00:44:47,151 --> 00:44:49,086
[shouting]

845
00:44:49,153 --> 00:44:50,054
[Lawler] What the heck?

846
00:44:51,922 --> 00:44:53,891
Hey, Test, better pay attention!

847
00:44:53,957 --> 00:44:56,226
-[Cole] And Luna just clocked the referee.
-[Lawler] What?

848
00:44:56,293 --> 00:44:58,962
[Cole] And great Gangrel
walked into Test, belly to belly.

849
00:45:00,497 --> 00:45:02,132
[Lawler] Oh, look at this!
Luna's in the ring!

850
00:45:02,199 --> 00:45:04,268
[Cole] And Luna on the back of Test.

851
00:45:04,802 --> 00:45:06,837
[Lawler] I'm telling you,
women are just attracted to him.

852
00:45:06,904 --> 00:45:08,906
-[thud]
-Oh, what the heck.

853
00:45:08,972 --> 00:45:10,574
[Cole] Test is giving it to Luna.

854
00:45:11,308 --> 00:45:13,243
-[Lawler] Momentarily.
-[bell rings]

855
00:45:13,310 --> 00:45:15,512
[Cole] And referee Teddy Long
calls for the bell.

856
00:45:15,579 --> 00:45:17,581
He was clocked by Luna outside the ring

857
00:45:17,648 --> 00:45:21,351
and now Luna has pulled off that…
that protective nose gear of Test.

858
00:45:24,388 --> 00:45:26,890
-[Lawler] More women problem for Test. Oh.
-[thud]

859
00:45:27,391 --> 00:45:29,293
[Cole] Test just cleaned Gangrel's clock,

860
00:45:29,359 --> 00:45:31,628
and Luna slapping the face of Test,
and look out.

861
00:45:31,695 --> 00:45:33,997
I think… I think Luna is going for a ride.

862
00:45:34,064 --> 00:45:35,265
-[Lawler] No way!
-[thud]

863
00:45:35,332 --> 00:45:37,134
-[Cole] Oh, man.
-[Lawler] What the…

864
00:45:39,002 --> 00:45:41,405
-[thud]
-[Cole] And there goes Gangrel.

865
00:45:42,740 --> 00:45:44,808
Well, you may have hit the nail
on the head, King.

866
00:45:45,476 --> 00:45:49,279
Test may have been sick and tired
of women meddling in his affairs.

867
00:45:49,346 --> 00:45:52,683
He's channeled that anger
and he's gonna fly, top rope.

868
00:45:53,283 --> 00:45:56,420
What hang time!
Deliver the elbow to Gangrel,

869
00:45:56,487 --> 00:45:57,988
Test picking up the win.

870
00:45:58,422 --> 00:46:02,326
[announcer] The winner of this match,
as a result of a disqualification,

871
00:46:02,392 --> 00:46:03,527
Test.

872
00:46:05,129 --> 00:46:08,632
[Cole] So, Test picks up the win
after Luna clocked the referee.

873
00:46:09,767 --> 00:46:11,335
Now, we've been talking about it.

874
00:46:11,401 --> 00:46:13,604
Test is lassoing in the emotion, King.

875
00:46:13,670 --> 00:46:16,039
Try to calm down and relax, take it easy.

876
00:46:16,106 --> 00:46:17,875
-Don't go crazy.
-I'm fine.

877
00:46:17,941 --> 00:46:20,911
-Oh, you're fine?
-I just wanted to take two seconds

878
00:46:20,978 --> 00:46:22,579
and I simply wanted to tell you,

879
00:46:22,646 --> 00:46:24,481
I wanted to talk about last Monday night.

880
00:46:24,548 --> 00:46:25,382
Oh, about Monday night?

881
00:46:25,449 --> 00:46:28,218
-I wanted to tell you that I'm not upset.
-Oh, you're not upset?

882
00:46:28,285 --> 00:46:30,053
I don't know if I did something
that upset you.

883
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:31,421
-If I did, I'm sorry.
-Well, you did.

884
00:46:31,488 --> 00:46:33,390
I mean, I would have much rather had you,

885
00:46:33,457 --> 00:46:34,792
you know, be part of my team,

886
00:46:34,858 --> 00:46:36,894
instead of turn your back on me,
but you know--

887
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,529
-Like you did on me.
-For whatever reason,

888
00:46:38,595 --> 00:46:41,398
I'm willing to let that go,
I wanna let bygones be bygones

889
00:46:41,465 --> 00:46:43,100
and, uh, I really wanna try

890
00:46:43,167 --> 00:46:45,702
and make this work between
the two of us and, you know…

891
00:46:45,769 --> 00:46:48,172
-Really?
-…let's step in this together.

892
00:46:48,238 --> 00:46:49,840
-You really feel that way?
-Please.

893
00:46:49,907 --> 00:46:52,142
No more of these crazy-- crazy head games?

894
00:46:52,209 --> 00:46:54,178
No, I mean, come on. We're both adults.

895
00:46:54,912 --> 00:46:56,280
-Shake.
-All right.

896
00:46:56,814 --> 00:46:58,816
-I'll accept your apology.
-Okay.

897
00:46:58,882 --> 00:47:01,418
It was big of you to admit
that you were wrong.

898
00:47:01,485 --> 00:47:03,987
-We can do this.
-Okay. Yes, you're right, we can do this.

899
00:47:04,688 --> 00:47:05,689
[chuckles]

900
00:47:08,826 --> 00:47:10,661
[Cole] Back on SmackDown, earlier tonight,

901
00:47:10,727 --> 00:47:13,397
we saw the reincarnation of Cactus Jack.

902
00:47:13,463 --> 00:47:15,032
I think you know the guy.

903
00:47:15,632 --> 00:47:16,700
[crowd cheering]

904
00:47:16,767 --> 00:47:18,101
-[Lawler] Ah!
-[Cole] Uh-oh.

905
00:47:19,570 --> 00:47:21,805
[Cole] Oh, no. No, no, no!

906
00:47:21,872 --> 00:47:23,874
[crowd cheering]

907
00:47:23,941 --> 00:47:27,177
His name is Cactus Jack.

908
00:47:28,145 --> 00:47:29,413
[Cole] He's back!

909
00:47:29,980 --> 00:47:33,483
Cactus Jack hammering away
on the WWE Champion.

910
00:47:33,550 --> 00:47:34,785
Get out of there, Game.

911
00:47:34,852 --> 00:47:38,188
Mick Foley is more vicious,
more dangerous than ever, King.

912
00:47:38,622 --> 00:47:41,325
[Cactus Jack] Triple H,
at the Royal Rumble,

913
00:47:41,391 --> 00:47:44,228
I will take what you hold dearest,

914
00:47:44,294 --> 00:47:48,265
your cherished WWE Championship belt

915
00:47:48,332 --> 00:47:51,235
and it will be mine, all mine!

916
00:47:51,301 --> 00:47:53,237
-Bang, bang!
-[crowd cheering]

917
00:47:54,838 --> 00:47:57,975
[Cole] So, King, the bottom line is this,
in ten days at the Royal Rumble,

918
00:47:58,041 --> 00:47:59,543
Triple H is gonna have to defend

919
00:47:59,610 --> 00:48:05,082
his World Wrestling Entertainment Title
in a street fight against Cactus Jack.

920
00:48:05,148 --> 00:48:07,451
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell something,
Cactus Jack is evil,

921
00:48:07,517 --> 00:48:09,386
he's… he's dangerous, he's sadistic.

922
00:48:10,787 --> 00:48:12,890
[Lawler] I like that in a person,
but not in Cactus Jack.

923
00:48:12,956 --> 00:48:16,593
[announcer] The following tag team contest
is scheduled for one fall.

924
00:48:16,660 --> 00:48:19,396
Making their way to the ring,
being accompanied by Terri,

925
00:48:19,463 --> 00:48:21,431
from Cameron, North Carolina,

926
00:48:21,498 --> 00:48:24,701
at a combined weight of 430 pounds,

927
00:48:24,768 --> 00:48:28,238
Matt and Jeff, The Hardy Boyz.

928
00:48:28,305 --> 00:48:31,642
[Cole] And, King, of course, we all know
the long history of Cactus Jack.

929
00:48:31,708 --> 00:48:33,977
Mick Foley, of course, from Long Island,

930
00:48:34,044 --> 00:48:36,580
the stories of hitchhiking
to Madison Square Garden.

931
00:48:36,647 --> 00:48:39,716
And since the Rumble takes place
in Madison Square Garden,

932
00:48:39,783 --> 00:48:44,154
those odds may be too much
for the champion, Triple H, to overcome.

933
00:48:44,221 --> 00:48:45,756
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
I got a better idea.

934
00:48:45,822 --> 00:48:47,457
[announcer] And their opponents,

935
00:48:47,524 --> 00:48:51,261
with a combined weight of 652 pounds,

936
00:48:51,328 --> 00:48:57,100
the Hardcore Champion,
the Big Boss Man and Prince Albert.

937
00:48:57,167 --> 00:49:02,072
[Lawler] Maybe that idiot Cactus Jack
will try to relive his past, deja vu,

938
00:49:02,139 --> 00:49:04,308
and hitchhike to Madison Square Garden
for the Royal Rumble,

939
00:49:04,374 --> 00:49:05,976
and nobody will pick him up,
give him a ride.

940
00:49:06,043 --> 00:49:08,145
[Cole] Well, I have no sympathy
for Triple H in this one,

941
00:49:08,211 --> 00:49:09,980
he drove Mick Foley to this.

942
00:49:10,047 --> 00:49:12,950
He brought Cactus Jack out of Mick Foley.

943
00:49:13,016 --> 00:49:14,685
And this should be a good
tag team match-up.

944
00:49:14,751 --> 00:49:17,220
The Hardys set to take on Prince Albert
and the Big Boss Man.

945
00:49:17,287 --> 00:49:19,122
You know, saw Prince Albert and Boss Man

946
00:49:19,189 --> 00:49:20,691
have some words the past couple of weeks

947
00:49:20,757 --> 00:49:24,394
but Prince Albert refers
to the Boss Man as his mentor.

948
00:49:25,028 --> 00:49:28,165
[Lawler] He told me that he really thinks
the world of the Big Boss Man,

949
00:49:28,231 --> 00:49:30,400
said he'd give him the hair off his back
if he had to.

950
00:49:30,467 --> 00:49:31,568
[Cole] You're a funny guy.

951
00:49:31,635 --> 00:49:34,705
Prince Albert, kick to midsection,
high-pitched chop to Jeff Hardy.

952
00:49:34,771 --> 00:49:35,739
And here we go.

953
00:49:35,806 --> 00:49:38,375
Matt Hardy, been out a few weeks
with a broken cheekbone,

954
00:49:38,442 --> 00:49:41,812
but the Hardy's back with a vengeance
this past Monday night on Raw, King.

955
00:49:41,878 --> 00:49:44,181
Big victory over Steve Austin
and Kurt Angle.

956
00:49:44,681 --> 00:49:46,616
[Lawler] Yeah, but they're completely
outmatched here.

957
00:49:47,351 --> 00:49:49,319
I mean, just too much weight,
too much brawn,

958
00:49:49,386 --> 00:49:52,422
too much physicality here
with Prince Albert and the Boss Man.

959
00:49:52,489 --> 00:49:54,291
[Cole] Prince Albert showing
his strength right now

960
00:49:54,358 --> 00:49:55,759
as he goes to work on Jeff Hardy.

961
00:49:55,826 --> 00:49:57,027
[Lawler] See, what'd I tell ya.

962
00:49:57,094 --> 00:49:59,029
[Cole] Catches Jeff Hardy in midair
on the shoulder.

963
00:49:59,096 --> 00:50:00,897
Look out, Prince Albert
into the turnbuckle.

964
00:50:00,964 --> 00:50:03,166
And a dropkick from behind
to the small of the back.

965
00:50:03,233 --> 00:50:05,335
The Hardys are gonna have to win
this thing with quickness,

966
00:50:05,402 --> 00:50:08,872
with their athletic ability,
their agility, their acrobatic moves.

967
00:50:08,939 --> 00:50:11,875
-And double-teams, elbow to the face.
-[grunts]

968
00:50:11,942 --> 00:50:14,011
[Lawler] Well, that all sounds good
on paper, Michael.

969
00:50:14,077 --> 00:50:15,512
[Cole] Cover, hook to the leg, kick-out.

970
00:50:15,579 --> 00:50:17,781
[Lawler] Doesn't sound hot
coming out of your mouth, but,

971
00:50:17,848 --> 00:50:20,250
like I said, it's easier said than done.

972
00:50:21,018 --> 00:50:23,253
[Cole] And here's Matt Hardy,
big right-hands to Prince Albert,

973
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:24,287
off the rope.

974
00:50:24,354 --> 00:50:27,290
And look at the strength
of this 350-pounder

975
00:50:27,357 --> 00:50:29,159
slamming Matt Hardy off the top rope.

976
00:50:29,226 --> 00:50:31,028
He caught Matt Hardy in midair.

977
00:50:31,094 --> 00:50:33,497
-[Lawler] A slingshot there.
-[groan]

978
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,432
[Cole] Hear this crowd chanting for Terri?

979
00:50:36,500 --> 00:50:39,703
Prince Albert again, oh, man. Oh.

980
00:50:39,770 --> 00:50:42,272
A version of a swinging neckbreaker,
backbreaker,

981
00:50:42,339 --> 00:50:45,175
so to speak, by Prince Albert,
tagged by the Big Boss Man.

982
00:50:45,242 --> 00:50:47,244
And here comes the veteran of this team.

983
00:50:47,310 --> 00:50:49,980
And the Boss Man will be a part
of the Royal Rumble match

984
00:50:50,047 --> 00:50:53,183
in ten days, as will Prince Albert
and The Hardy Boyz.

985
00:50:53,250 --> 00:50:54,684
-Oh, look out.
-[thud]

986
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,121
Matt Hardy just returning
on Raw this past Monday night

987
00:50:58,188 --> 00:51:00,657
after a few weeks on the injured list,

988
00:51:00,724 --> 00:51:02,793
courtesy of D-Generation X.

989
00:51:02,859 --> 00:51:05,395
Uh-oh. Watch this. Boss Man off the ropes.

990
00:51:05,462 --> 00:51:07,130
-[grunts]
-Oh, man.

991
00:51:07,197 --> 00:51:10,834
Speaking of DX, Triple H continues
to try to repair his relationship

992
00:51:10,901 --> 00:51:12,335
with The Outlaws and X-Pac.

993
00:51:13,003 --> 00:51:13,970
[Lawler] Hey, look at this.

994
00:51:14,037 --> 00:51:16,239
[Cole] Look out now, Boss Man's got Terri.

995
00:51:16,306 --> 00:51:18,375
-What's Boss Man doing to Terri?
-[Lawler] What?

996
00:51:18,442 --> 00:51:21,878
[Cole] Take your hands off her, Boss Man.
Oh, and Jeff Hardy from behind.

997
00:51:21,945 --> 00:51:23,046
You all right?

998
00:51:23,113 --> 00:51:25,749
[Cole] And Jeff Hardy
getting to Terri in time,

999
00:51:25,816 --> 00:51:27,584
getting the Boss Man from behind.

1000
00:51:27,651 --> 00:51:30,387
[Lawler] I'm thinking Boss Man was
actually bringing her over here as a gift.

1001
00:51:30,887 --> 00:51:32,289
-[Cole] For who, you?
-[Lawler] What?

1002
00:51:33,924 --> 00:51:35,125
Looked like it.

1003
00:51:35,192 --> 00:51:38,395
[Cole] She's not Boss Man's to give, King.
Terri's with The Hardy Boyz.

1004
00:51:38,462 --> 00:51:41,398
-Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
-Matt Hardy in a world of trouble.

1005
00:51:41,465 --> 00:51:43,633
-What a reversal by Matt.
-[grunts]

1006
00:51:43,700 --> 00:51:45,669
-Oh, man. Oh, no.
-[thud]

1007
00:51:45,735 --> 00:51:47,537
[Cole] Neckbreaker by Matt Hardy.

1008
00:51:47,604 --> 00:51:49,806
And Boss Man in trouble.

1009
00:51:49,873 --> 00:51:51,141
-One…
-And, you know, the…

1010
00:51:51,208 --> 00:51:53,743
Matt Hardy calls that maneuver
the twist of fate,

1011
00:51:53,810 --> 00:51:55,045
we understand, King.

1012
00:51:55,612 --> 00:51:58,181
-[Lawler] Who told you that?
-[Cole] A little birdie.

1013
00:51:58,248 --> 00:51:59,449
[Lawler] Twist of fate?

1014
00:51:59,516 --> 00:52:02,486
[Cole] And Matt Hardy with a slap tag now
to Jeff Hardy.

1015
00:52:02,552 --> 00:52:06,022
And Jeff goes to work
on the Big Boss Man, dropkick,

1016
00:52:06,089 --> 00:52:07,724
knocking Boss Man back into the corner.

1017
00:52:08,458 --> 00:52:10,160
Oh, no. Look out, Prince Albert.

1018
00:52:10,227 --> 00:52:14,197
Nobody home! Prince Albert
just steamrolled his partner, Boss Man.

1019
00:52:14,264 --> 00:52:16,933
[Lawler] Three hundred and seventy pounds,
this dude's like a freight train.

1020
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,337
[Cole] Double-team, Jeff Hardy
across the chest of Prince Albert.

1021
00:52:20,403 --> 00:52:21,638
[Lawler] What do they call that?

1022
00:52:22,005 --> 00:52:25,909
[Cole] And to the other side.
Boss Man just caught Jeff Hardy in midair,

1023
00:52:25,976 --> 00:52:27,811
-slams him to the mat.
-[grunts]

1024
00:52:27,878 --> 00:52:30,947
A bicycle kick to Matt. Oh, and…

1025
00:52:31,014 --> 00:52:33,149
[Lawler] I think Boss Man
calls that a fate worse than death.

1026
00:52:33,216 --> 00:52:34,251
[shouting]

1027
00:52:34,317 --> 00:52:35,886
[Cole] Uh-oh. Look out. Oh.

1028
00:52:35,952 --> 00:52:39,890
Boss Man and Prince Albert arguing.
Jeff Hardy rolls up Boss Man from behind.

1029
00:52:39,956 --> 00:52:42,792
-[Lawler] Wait a minute!
-And The Hardy Boyz pick up a huge win.

1030
00:52:44,127 --> 00:52:46,096
[Lawler] Now, that's what I call an upset.

1031
00:52:48,665 --> 00:52:51,835
[Cole] The Boss Man upset and cleaning
the clocks for the Hardy Boyz,

1032
00:52:52,636 --> 00:52:54,938
but his issue may be with Prince Albert.

1033
00:52:55,005 --> 00:52:58,508
-[Lawler] Look at this!
-Boss Man, Albert, exchanging blows.

1034
00:52:59,209 --> 00:53:01,545
[Cole] Boss Man and Prince Albert
exchanging blows.

1035
00:53:01,611 --> 00:53:02,579
[Lawler] They've lost it.

1036
00:53:03,380 --> 00:53:05,382
[Cole] We've seen this brewing
for the past few weeks

1037
00:53:05,448 --> 00:53:07,617
but we thought they had mended their ways.

1038
00:53:08,785 --> 00:53:10,687
[Lawler] Guys are all over each other.
This is bad.

1039
00:53:10,754 --> 00:53:11,888
-Oh, look out.
-Oh.

1040
00:53:11,955 --> 00:53:14,191
[Cole] And Boss Man clocking the referees.

1041
00:53:14,257 --> 00:53:16,526
Prince Albert
going after the officials as well.

1042
00:53:16,593 --> 00:53:18,461
[Lawler] Never break up
a fight between these two.

1043
00:53:18,528 --> 00:53:20,330
[indistinct shouting]

1044
00:53:20,397 --> 00:53:23,300
[Cole] Well, this tension has been brewing
over the past few weeks.

1045
00:53:23,366 --> 00:53:25,468
[Lawler] Go over there, Michael,
try to break it up.

1046
00:53:25,535 --> 00:53:29,072
[Cole] King, earlier tonight,
Lilian Garcia caught up with The Big Show.

1047
00:53:30,540 --> 00:53:33,543
Well, Big Show, how do you feel
about your tag team match tonight?

1048
00:53:33,610 --> 00:53:34,811
I gotta be quite honest with you,

1049
00:53:34,878 --> 00:53:36,546
I'm excited about tonight

1050
00:53:36,613 --> 00:53:39,649
because I've got my chance
to get my hands on Triple H.

1051
00:53:39,716 --> 00:53:41,952
You know, I'm the only former WWE Champion

1052
00:53:42,018 --> 00:53:43,520
that's never gotten a rematch.

1053
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,790
I also got my chance to get my hands
on X-Pac,

1054
00:53:46,856 --> 00:53:49,759
who's running around telling everybody
how he beat The Big Show.

1055
00:53:50,393 --> 00:53:51,661
Yet he forgets to tell everybody

1056
00:53:51,728 --> 00:53:55,432
how also DX was involved,
and it took a chair.

1057
00:53:55,498 --> 00:53:57,534
So I've got scores to settle
with those two.

1058
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:01,404
And let's talk about my partner
for tonight, The Rock.

1059
00:54:02,005 --> 00:54:03,473
You know, last Monday on Raw,

1060
00:54:03,540 --> 00:54:05,575
when all of us were standing
around the ring,

1061
00:54:05,642 --> 00:54:07,944
supporting Rock,
'cause he's our spokesperson…

1062
00:54:09,012 --> 00:54:10,180
he's talking about himself

1063
00:54:10,247 --> 00:54:11,915
and how he's gonna win the Royal Rumble.

1064
00:54:11,982 --> 00:54:14,451
And he calls everybody
a bunch of jabronis.

1065
00:54:14,517 --> 00:54:17,053
Well, I took that personal.
I'm not a jabroni.

1066
00:54:17,687 --> 00:54:20,290
And as far as Rock winning
the Royal Rumble,

1067
00:54:20,357 --> 00:54:22,792
you know, I think he's putting the wagon
before the horse,

1068
00:54:22,859 --> 00:54:25,228
'cause I'm seven-foot-two, 500 pounds.

1069
00:54:25,295 --> 00:54:28,865
There is no way Rocky
is gonna throw me over the top rope.

1070
00:54:28,932 --> 00:54:30,200
It's gonna be the other way around.

1071
00:54:30,267 --> 00:54:31,167
I'm gonna grab Rocky

1072
00:54:31,234 --> 00:54:33,036
and I'm gonna throw him
into the seventh row.

1073
00:54:33,536 --> 00:54:35,872
But hey, let's talk about tonight.

1074
00:54:35,939 --> 00:54:39,709
Tonight, I'm a professional,
so tonight I'm The Rock's partner,

1075
00:54:39,776 --> 00:54:40,810
and that's what I'm gonna do.

1076
00:54:40,877 --> 00:54:42,646
I'm gonna be The Rock's partner.

1077
00:54:43,613 --> 00:54:45,849
But make no mistake about it, Lilian,

1078
00:54:45,915 --> 00:54:49,552
I don't like The Rock.

1079
00:54:52,322 --> 00:54:55,492
-Tori, Tori, oh, God. You got a sec?
-Yeah.

1080
00:54:56,126 --> 00:54:59,262
I have something… sort of bad to tell you.

1081
00:54:59,329 --> 00:55:01,564
What? What? What? What could be so bad?

1082
00:55:02,232 --> 00:55:04,634
I think we can fix it,
but let me tell you about it…

1083
00:55:04,701 --> 00:55:05,535
What?

1084
00:55:05,602 --> 00:55:08,204
[dramatic music playing]

1085
00:55:08,271 --> 00:55:09,272
[Lawler] What was that?

1086
00:55:10,874 --> 00:55:12,442
[Cole] I can tell you what's up with this.

1087
00:55:13,176 --> 00:55:16,112
It's Kurt Angle and Steve Blackman
set for tag team action.

1088
00:55:16,179 --> 00:55:19,215
[Lawler] I know that, but what was Chyna
wanting to talk to Tori about?

1089
00:55:19,282 --> 00:55:21,484
-[Cole] I don't know.
-[announcer] …scheduled for one fall.

1090
00:55:21,551 --> 00:55:25,321
Making their way to the ring
at a combined weight of 482 pounds,

1091
00:55:25,388 --> 00:55:30,160
"The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman,
and the only Olympic gold medalist

1092
00:55:30,226 --> 00:55:32,796
to grace
the World Wrestling Entertainment ring

1093
00:55:32,862 --> 00:55:37,233
and the most celebrated real athlete
in the WWE history,

1094
00:55:37,300 --> 00:55:39,703
Kurt Angle.

1095
00:55:40,403 --> 00:55:42,005
♪ You think you know me? ♪

1096
00:55:42,806 --> 00:55:45,608
[Cole] Well, these sometimes friends,
sometimes foes,

1097
00:55:45,675 --> 00:55:47,143
Steve Blackman and Kurt Angle…

1098
00:55:47,210 --> 00:55:52,615
[announcer] And their opponents,
at a combined weight of 455 pounds,

1099
00:55:52,682 --> 00:55:55,552
Christian and Edge.

1100
00:55:55,618 --> 00:55:57,354
[Lawler] I don't like this.
Where are these guys?

1101
00:55:57,420 --> 00:55:59,155
Watch your back.
They could come from anywhere.

1102
00:55:59,222 --> 00:56:00,890
Camera searching for Christian and Edge

1103
00:56:00,957 --> 00:56:04,127
in front of this capacity crowd,
and they're all there

1104
00:56:04,194 --> 00:56:06,763
in Chicago for SmackDown.

1105
00:56:06,830 --> 00:56:08,765
This should be a great tag team battle.

1106
00:56:08,832 --> 00:56:11,000
Edge and Christian
against Blackman and Angle.

1107
00:56:12,235 --> 00:56:15,438
The Royal Rumble comes your way
live in just ten days

1108
00:56:15,505 --> 00:56:18,608
from the sold out Madison Square Garden
in New York City.

1109
00:56:18,675 --> 00:56:20,977
1-800-Collect presents the Royal Rumble.

1110
00:56:21,044 --> 00:56:24,481
1-800-Collect, the easy way to save.

1111
00:56:25,248 --> 00:56:27,384
And, King, speaking of the Royal Rumble,

1112
00:56:27,450 --> 00:56:29,586
Edge and Christian,
along with "The Lethal Weapon"

1113
00:56:29,652 --> 00:56:34,057
Steve Blackman, will be participants
in the Royal Rumble match.

1114
00:56:34,124 --> 00:56:38,428
Three of the 30 Superstars
in the Royal Rumble match.

1115
00:56:40,663 --> 00:56:43,533
Steve Blackman going to work
on Edge, middle of the ring.

1116
00:56:44,134 --> 00:56:48,138
Huge tag team battles still to come
tonight on SmackDown,

1117
00:56:48,204 --> 00:56:53,042
The Big Show and The Rock
to take on Triple H and X-Pac.

1118
00:56:53,109 --> 00:56:55,044
[Lawler] What about what The Big Show
said a while ago?

1119
00:56:55,111 --> 00:56:57,580
I mean, I don't think you could make
a statement any plainer

1120
00:56:57,647 --> 00:56:59,349
than what he did when he said-- Oh!

1121
00:56:59,415 --> 00:57:03,319
"Make no mistake about it,
I don't like The Rock."

1122
00:57:03,386 --> 00:57:05,688
[Cole] But, King, he also said
that he's professional

1123
00:57:05,755 --> 00:57:08,258
and tonight, he is The Rock's
tag team partner.

1124
00:57:08,324 --> 00:57:10,593
But The Big Show did
take exception to the fact

1125
00:57:10,660 --> 00:57:14,597
that The Rock called him-- Oh, my.
Called him one of the 29 jabronis

1126
00:57:14,664 --> 00:57:17,500
The Rock planned on throwing over
the top rope during the Royal Rumble.

1127
00:57:17,567 --> 00:57:19,836
[Lawler] I knew that wasn't gonna sit well
with the big guy.

1128
00:57:19,903 --> 00:57:23,039
[Cole] Meanwhile, I still can't figure out
this whole Triple H, X-Pac attitude.

1129
00:57:23,106 --> 00:57:27,977
Triple H trying to repair damage done
when his buddy, X-Pac,

1130
00:57:28,044 --> 00:57:30,413
roped him into a match
with The Big Show and The Rock.

1131
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,682
Cover now by Christian,
two and a kick-out.

1132
00:57:34,417 --> 00:57:37,587
[Lawler] Like I said before, just, uh,

1133
00:57:37,654 --> 00:57:39,455
just being partners with The Game,

1134
00:57:39,522 --> 00:57:43,593
WWE Tag… er, WWE Champion,
being his tag team partner,

1135
00:57:43,660 --> 00:57:44,561
that's an honor.

1136
00:57:44,627 --> 00:57:46,462
-[thud]
-[Cole] Nice hip toss by Christian,

1137
00:57:46,529 --> 00:57:49,165
going to work on the undefeated
Superstar, Kurt Angle.

1138
00:57:50,133 --> 00:57:54,070
Olympic gold medalist
from the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta.

1139
00:57:54,137 --> 00:57:55,772
Watch it, Kurt. Nobody home.

1140
00:57:55,839 --> 00:57:59,008
-Oh!
-Christian right into that steel post.

1141
00:57:59,843 --> 00:58:01,711
Hey, hey, hey! [indistinct shouts]

1142
00:58:01,778 --> 00:58:03,146
[Cole] And Edge now into the ring.

1143
00:58:05,682 --> 00:58:07,617
Also later on tonight,

1144
00:58:07,684 --> 00:58:10,820
New Age Outlaws handicap match-- Oh, man!

1145
00:58:10,887 --> 00:58:13,690
Blackman dismantling Christian
outside the ring

1146
00:58:13,756 --> 00:58:16,593
as Kurt Angle wisely
distracted the referee.

1147
00:58:16,659 --> 00:58:18,895
Later on tonight, the Outlaws
get a chance to take out Faarooq.

1148
00:58:18,962 --> 00:58:22,198
They took out Bradshaw earlier on
in a handicap match-up.

1149
00:58:22,632 --> 00:58:25,301
[Lawler] Well, we've seen
The Outlaws and let's see.

1150
00:58:25,902 --> 00:58:28,037
-[Cole] And Triple H, yeah.
-Triple H, I have not seen X-Pac.

1151
00:58:29,105 --> 00:58:31,241
-Have you seen X-Pac today?
-[Cole] That's a good point.

1152
00:58:31,307 --> 00:58:32,575
I haven't seen him either.

1153
00:58:33,776 --> 00:58:36,045
Kurt Angle in control of Christian,

1154
00:58:36,112 --> 00:58:37,547
tremendous suplex, hooks the leg.

1155
00:58:37,614 --> 00:58:39,582
Here's the cover now,
there's two and a kick-out.

1156
00:58:39,649 --> 00:58:40,717
[referee] Two!

1157
00:58:41,518 --> 00:58:43,753
[Cole] And Kurt Angle,
chin lock on Christian.

1158
00:58:45,054 --> 00:58:48,091
[Lawler] I understand Triple H
is still looking for X-Pac, too.

1159
00:58:48,958 --> 00:58:51,160
[Cole] I'm sure Triple H wants
to get together with X-Pac

1160
00:58:51,227 --> 00:58:52,595
to make sure they're on the same page

1161
00:58:52,662 --> 00:58:55,732
before they take on The Rock
and Big Show later on tonight.

1162
00:58:55,798 --> 00:58:58,835
Christian trying to gain momentum,
elbows to the midsection of Kurt Angle.

1163
00:58:58,902 --> 00:59:00,837
Nice reversal into the corner.

1164
00:59:00,904 --> 00:59:04,207
And Angle, I think he just hit his head
on the back of Christian's head.

1165
00:59:04,274 --> 00:59:06,109
-[Lawler] That's not good.
-[Cole] Nose first.

1166
00:59:07,310 --> 00:59:09,879
And Christian reverses--
Oh, look out. Oh, man.

1167
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:11,814
Center of the ring.

1168
00:59:11,881 --> 00:59:13,583
[Lawler] Don't want one
of those testy noses.

1169
00:59:15,652 --> 00:59:18,321
[Cole] And Christian needs to make
a tag to his brother Edge.

1170
00:59:19,055 --> 00:59:21,224
We found out on Raw Monday night that Edge

1171
00:59:21,291 --> 00:59:24,560
is marrying Val Venis's sister.

1172
00:59:24,627 --> 00:59:27,263
Val and Edge
are soon to be brother-in-laws.

1173
00:59:28,431 --> 00:59:30,833
And here's the tag to Steve Blackman,
and here comes Edge.

1174
00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:33,069
-[Lawler] Brothers-in-law, you idiot.
-[Cole] Oh, man.

1175
00:59:33,436 --> 00:59:36,072
Spinning heel kick
up underneath the chin for Edge.

1176
00:59:36,139 --> 00:59:37,440
Who's cooking now?

1177
00:59:37,507 --> 00:59:38,641
Angle kicked off the apron.

1178
00:59:38,708 --> 00:59:41,144
And Blackman, oh,
with that bicycle scissors kick

1179
00:59:41,210 --> 00:59:42,578
to the chest of Edge.

1180
00:59:42,645 --> 00:59:44,147
Nearly drove his foot clear through.

1181
00:59:44,213 --> 00:59:45,515
["Hello Ladies" playing]

1182
00:59:45,582 --> 00:59:46,582
[Lawler] What?

1183

[crowd cheering]

1184
00:59:48,117 --> 00:59:50,920
-[Cole] Well, speak of the devil.
-[Lawler] What's up with this now?

1185
00:59:52,522 --> 00:59:55,692
-Hello, Blackman. [laughs]
-[Lawler] We're in the middle of a match.

1186
00:59:56,359 --> 01:00:00,163
You weren't planning on using
weapons like this

1187
01:00:00,229 --> 01:00:02,899
on my future brother-in-law now, were you?

1188
01:00:02,966 --> 01:00:04,701
[laughs]

1189
01:00:06,269 --> 01:00:09,138
[Cole] Blackman distracted
and Christian with a missile dropkick.

1190
01:00:09,205 --> 01:00:10,974
-[Lawler] Wait!
-[Cole] Edge, he's got him covered.

1191
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:12,575
-There's two. It's over.
-[bell ringing]

1192
01:00:12,642 --> 01:00:17,380
Val Venis popping up on the Ovaltron,
distracting The Lethal Weapon.

1193
01:00:17,447 --> 01:00:19,182
And Edge and Christian pick up the win.

1194
01:00:19,248 --> 01:00:22,485
[announcer] …Christian and Edge.

1195
01:00:23,620 --> 01:00:25,922
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
That's very unsportsmanlike, Michael,

1196
01:00:25,989 --> 01:00:27,857
that distraction is not fair.

1197
01:00:28,758 --> 01:00:30,593
[Cole] Well, Kurt Angle is livid.

1198
01:00:31,828 --> 01:00:32,895
[Lawler] I guess so.

1199
01:00:33,963 --> 01:00:36,232
Well, he didn't lose, but I guess
that sort of makes you…

1200
01:00:38,835 --> 01:00:39,802
close to a loser.

1201
01:00:39,869 --> 01:00:41,471
[Cole] Well,
Kurt Angle's still undefeated.

1202
01:00:41,537 --> 01:00:42,772
He's still unpinned but he's…

1203
01:00:42,839 --> 01:00:44,774
Tori, I wanted to talk to you
in private about this.

1204
01:00:44,841 --> 01:00:48,211
I haven't even told Miss Kitty about this
because it's sort of embarrassing.

1205
01:00:48,277 --> 01:00:51,147
I mean, Chris Jericho
is really crossing the line this time.

1206
01:00:51,214 --> 01:00:52,915
Oh, is he… is he okay?

1207
01:00:52,982 --> 01:00:54,384
-I mean, are you okay?
-[gasps]

1208
01:00:54,450 --> 01:00:58,388
Oh, he's okay, Tori.
He's a young, virile man, might I add.

1209
01:00:58,454 --> 01:01:01,724
Tell you the truth, I can't stand
being around him most of the time.

1210
01:01:01,791 --> 01:01:04,994
But now, all he talks about is Tori, Tori,

1211
01:01:05,061 --> 01:01:06,663
-Tori, I mean…
-Chris Jericho?

1212
01:01:06,729 --> 01:01:08,765
Yeah, this stupid fantasy he has about you

1213
01:01:08,831 --> 01:01:11,401
in a-- get this--
a flight attendant's uniform.

1214
01:01:11,467 --> 01:01:13,669
-The really short kind with no underwear.
-Oh… Oh, God.

1215
01:01:13,736 --> 01:01:15,304
-How stupid is that?
-Huh!

1216
01:01:15,371 --> 01:01:18,141
And, Tori, listen, he is disgusting.

1217
01:01:18,207 --> 01:01:22,445
All he talks about is how he could add
some new positions to the Kama Sutra.

1218
01:01:23,046 --> 01:01:26,649
-It is disgusting. So gross.
-Oh, God. Oh, well.

1219
01:01:26,716 --> 01:01:29,719
Oh, Tori, wait, wait, wait.
Tori, though, if you tell Kane,

1220
01:01:29,786 --> 01:01:31,354
I know he's gonna wanna beat Chris up,

1221
01:01:31,421 --> 01:01:33,556
but maybe it should be a match
or something,

1222
01:01:33,623 --> 01:01:36,125
-a non-title one, of course, but I mean…
-Yeah.

1223
01:01:36,192 --> 01:01:38,061
Oh, this is insane…

1224
01:01:39,328 --> 01:01:40,463
[Lawler] Could you believe that?

1225
01:01:41,164 --> 01:01:43,299
[Cole] I can't believe what I just saw.

1226
01:01:43,366 --> 01:01:44,534
[Lawler] Poor Jericho.

1227
01:01:46,035 --> 01:01:49,005
[rock music playing]

1228
01:01:49,072 --> 01:01:51,874
[Cole] Where in the world
is Cactus Jack going?

1229
01:01:51,941 --> 01:01:54,510
Oh, no. Cactus Jack
climbing the ladder here.

1230
01:01:54,577 --> 01:01:55,978
This is not a ladder match.

1231
01:01:56,045 --> 01:02:00,483
Cactus Jack is climbing up
on the giant Titantron.

1232
01:02:00,550 --> 01:02:05,021
Folks, I promise you, you won't see this
anywhere but here in the WWE.

1233
01:02:05,088 --> 01:02:07,557
Cactus Jack is getting himself
in position.

1234
01:02:07,623 --> 01:02:09,192
-It's…
-[Lawler] Oh, no.

1235
01:02:09,258 --> 01:02:12,595
[Cole] Good grief.
Right in the trash, right in the garbage!

There's Road Dogg and Billy Gunn,
The New Age Outlaws,

1237
01:02:16,566 --> 01:02:19,569
with their adversaries in that dumpster.

1238

Road Dogg and Billy.

Billy don't, wait a minute. Wait a minute!

take on Faarooq in a handicap match.

do it again.

we're gonna get to watch it twice. Ha!

let's see if we can make
a little noise up in this…

1258
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:25,768
[Cole] Wait a minute, it's Faarooq.

1259
01:03:25,835 --> 01:03:28,104
Faarooq, getting to the ring
to start this one off quickly.

1260
01:03:28,171 --> 01:03:30,606
-[Lawler] What is he doing?
-The Outlaws quickly on top of Faarooq.

1261
01:03:30,673 --> 01:03:33,109
He tried a sneak attack,
a surprise attack.

Handicap match, No Disqualification,

1263
01:03:36,078 --> 01:03:37,246
and keep in mind, King,

1264
01:03:37,313 --> 01:03:39,916
Bradshaw cannot interfere
in this match-up.

1265
01:03:39,982 --> 01:03:44,253
If he does, The Acolytes will forfeit
their title match in the Rumble.

1266
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:49,225
I guess Faarooq figured his only chance,
after what he saw happen to Bradshaw,

1267
01:03:49,292 --> 01:03:50,927
thought his only chance
was to rush these guys.

1268
01:03:50,993 --> 01:03:52,295
What a slam by Faarooq.

1269
01:03:52,361 --> 01:03:54,764
Here comes Road Dogg.
He's gonna take him on as well.

-What strength by Faarooq.
-[blabbering]

1271
01:03:57,667 --> 01:04:00,036
Hey, King, listen to this.
We understand that,

1272
01:04:00,102 --> 01:04:02,271
that Kane has demanded

1273
01:04:02,338 --> 01:04:06,542
and has been granted a match
with Chris Jericho

1274
01:04:06,609 --> 01:04:08,678
-here tonight on SmackDown.
-[grunts]

1275
01:04:08,744 --> 01:04:10,313
[Lawler] How do you think that came about?

1276
01:04:10,379 --> 01:04:13,216
You don't think Tori just happened
to run at the speed of light back

1277
01:04:13,282 --> 01:04:14,417
to Kane's locker room, do you?

1278
01:04:14,483 --> 01:04:16,185
[Cole] Before we went to break,
we saw Chyna…

1279
01:04:16,252 --> 01:04:18,387
Oh, double shoulder by Faarooq.

1280
01:04:18,454 --> 01:04:21,524
We saw Chyna setting up Chris Jericho,
it seemed like.

1281
01:04:21,591 --> 01:04:24,794
Telling Tori that Jericho
has been fantasizing about her,

1282
01:04:24,861 --> 01:04:28,197
and I'm sure that Tori ran
to her boyfriend to tell him about it.

1283
01:04:28,264 --> 01:04:29,799
[Lawler] Just like a woman, isn't it?

1284
01:04:29,866 --> 01:04:32,735
[Cole] So Kane has demanded
and will get a match-up

1285
01:04:32,802 --> 01:04:35,471
against Chris Jericho later on tonight
on SmackDown.

1286
01:04:35,538 --> 01:04:37,640
And The Outlaws are cooking
against Faarooq.

1287
01:04:37,707 --> 01:04:40,176
Oh, knee to the sternum. Hook to the leg.

1288
01:04:40,243 --> 01:04:41,911
Double cover now. There's two.

1289
01:04:41,978 --> 01:04:43,145
-And it's over.
-[bell rings]

1290
01:04:43,212 --> 01:04:45,915
[Cole] The New Age Outlaws
made quick work of Faarooq.

The New Age Outlaws.

Oh, look out now.

1293
01:04:51,420 --> 01:04:54,991
[Cole] Bradshaw, Bradshaw,
with a threat in his hand.

1294
01:04:55,057 --> 01:04:57,326
And Bradshaw going after The Outlaws.

1295
01:04:57,393 --> 01:04:59,228
[Lawler] Got some sort of pipe
or something.

1296
01:04:59,295 --> 01:05:01,030
[Cole] Keep in mind,
Triple H said Bradshaw

1297
01:05:01,097 --> 01:05:04,567
couldn't interfere during the match,
but the match-up's over now, King.

1298
01:05:05,301 --> 01:05:07,403
And I'll tell you,
The Outlaws are gonna be in

1299
01:05:07,470 --> 01:05:10,039
for a world of trouble in ten days

1300
01:05:10,106 --> 01:05:13,175
when they take on The Acolytes
at the Royal Rumble.

1301
01:05:14,477 --> 01:05:15,778
-That was great.
-How about that?

1302
01:05:15,845 --> 01:05:17,113
-Two for two.
-Very good.

1303
01:05:17,179 --> 01:05:19,248
-Two for two.
-Acolytes don't stand a chance

1304
01:05:19,315 --> 01:05:21,083
-at the Rumble.
-Oh, not a chance.

1305
01:05:21,150 --> 01:05:23,319
-They may back out after that. [laughs]
-All right.

1306
01:05:23,386 --> 01:05:24,654
-Might not show up.
-Yeah.

1307
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,055
Have you guys seen X-Pac?

1308
01:05:26,122 --> 01:05:28,424
Yeah, where is he?
We can't find him anywhere.

1309
01:05:28,491 --> 01:05:30,526
Well, if you've noticed,
we've been kind of busy.

1310
01:05:30,593 --> 01:05:32,361
[funky music playing]

1311
01:05:32,428 --> 01:05:34,096
[Cole] Well, they still can't
find X-Pac, King.

1312
01:05:34,163 --> 01:05:36,065
And Triple H and X-Pac, later on tonight,

1313
01:05:36,132 --> 01:05:38,501
are supposed to take on
The Rock and The Big Show.

1314
01:05:39,101 --> 01:05:41,871
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you, I don't
really have a good feeling about the fact

1315
01:05:41,937 --> 01:05:44,740
that X-Pac is nowhere to be found
right now.

1316
01:05:44,807 --> 01:05:47,476
[Cole] I think… I think I got
a good feeling about this.

1317
01:05:47,543 --> 01:05:50,246
[Lawler] Oh, yeah!
Hey, it's The Godfather and D'Lo.

1318
01:05:52,081 --> 01:05:55,117
[Cole] The Godfather and D'Lo Brown
having a good time.

1319
01:05:55,184 --> 01:05:56,686
And here come the ladies.

1320
01:05:56,752 --> 01:05:59,689
[Lawler] Whoo-hoo!
The Godfather's lovely ladies.

1321
01:06:02,925 --> 01:06:05,494
Well, The Godfather and D'Lo Brown
set for tag team action.

[announcer] The following tag team contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1323
01:06:08,764 --> 01:06:13,169
Making their way to the ring
at a combined weight of 588 pounds,

1324
01:06:13,669 --> 01:06:17,373
D'Lo Brown and The Godfather.

1325
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,176
[Cole] You know, D'Lo has got a hat now,
cigar, vest.

1326
01:06:20,643 --> 01:06:22,445
-Looking good, ain't he?
-[Lawler] Yeah.

1327
01:06:24,513 --> 01:06:27,083
And D'Lo and The Godfather
look like they have [indistinct]

1328
01:06:27,149 --> 01:06:29,919
the finest ladies
to ever walk the streets of Chicago.

1329
01:06:29,986 --> 01:06:31,187
[laughs] Hello!

1330
01:06:31,253 --> 01:06:35,624
[Cole] Capacity crowd on its feet
at the Allstate Arena in Chicago

1331
01:06:35,691 --> 01:06:39,228
for what's been a wild ride already
tonight on SmackDown.

1332
01:06:39,295 --> 01:06:41,464
And we still got
"The Big Red Machine" Kane

1333
01:06:41,530 --> 01:06:44,266
going one-on-one against
"Y2J" Chris Jericho

1334
01:06:44,333 --> 01:06:48,104
and The Rock and Big Show
taking on Triple H and X-Pac.

1335
01:06:48,170 --> 01:06:49,805
[hard rock music playing]

1336
01:06:49,872 --> 01:06:51,607
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you something…

1337
01:06:51,674 --> 01:06:54,310
Jericho's fixing to get
the short end of the stick on this deal.

1338
01:06:54,377 --> 01:06:58,948
[announcer] And their opponents,
at a combined weight of 492 pounds,

1339
01:06:59,015 --> 01:07:03,019
Mosh and Thrasher, The Headbangers.

1340
01:07:03,085 --> 01:07:04,820
[Cole] Well, they love
to express themselves.

1341
01:07:04,887 --> 01:07:06,689
They live an alternate lifestyle.

1342
01:07:07,189 --> 01:07:10,726
-Mosh and… wait a minute.
-[man] The mood is about to change.

1343
01:07:10,793 --> 01:07:12,962
Survive.

1344
01:07:13,029 --> 01:07:16,732
Who can stop the path of rage?

1345
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:18,701
[Lawler] What'd they say?

1346
01:07:18,768 --> 01:07:21,637
[Cole] It said something about
the mood is about to change.

1347
01:07:21,704 --> 01:07:22,705
[hard rock music playing]

1348
01:07:22,772 --> 01:07:24,807
[Lawler] You should know that,
just check your mood ring.

1349
01:07:25,841 --> 01:07:28,210
[Cole] Well, The Headbangers set
for tag team action

1350
01:07:28,277 --> 01:07:31,080
against The Godfather and D'Lo Brown.

1351
01:07:32,148 --> 01:07:33,816
You were talking about
Chris Jericho getting…

1352
01:07:33,883 --> 01:07:35,284
-Hey.
-Wait.

1353
01:07:35,351 --> 01:07:37,086
Man, what is going on with you guys?

1354
01:07:37,153 --> 01:07:40,823
Man, one week, you dress like women,
you got skirts on there.

1355
01:07:41,457 --> 01:07:42,858
I got to know, man.

1356
01:07:42,925 --> 01:07:44,627
What… what's going on in your minds, man?

1357
01:07:44,693 --> 01:07:46,195
Are you guys all there?

1358
01:07:48,030 --> 01:07:49,565
[Lawler] I can answer that for him. No.

1359
01:07:50,666 --> 01:07:53,769
The problem's not with what we're wearing.

1360
01:07:53,836 --> 01:07:57,673
The problem's with you,
it's 'cause you're a little upset

1361
01:07:57,740 --> 01:08:01,877
that we look a whole lot better
than your trolls do.

1362
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:05,347
[Lawler] Trolls?

1363
01:08:05,414 --> 01:08:10,219
So, why don't you get your trolls out
so we can get funky in here?

1364
01:08:10,286 --> 01:08:12,121
[Lawler] Trolls?

1365
01:08:12,188 --> 01:08:14,723
The Godfather's ladies.
Ooh, look at that dress.

1366
01:08:18,627 --> 01:08:20,863
So, The Headbangers are ready
for tag team action

1367
01:08:20,930 --> 01:08:23,065
against The Godfather and D'Lo Brown.

1368
01:08:23,132 --> 01:08:26,001
You made that point before about--
Look at Mosh from behind…

1369
01:08:26,068 --> 01:08:27,770
-[bell ringing]
-…going to work on D'Lo Brown.

1370
01:08:27,837 --> 01:08:30,473
You made the point before
about "Y2J" Chris Jericho

1371
01:08:30,539 --> 01:08:32,541
perhaps getting the end of the stick,

1372
01:08:32,608 --> 01:08:34,243
his short end of the stick in his match-up

1373
01:08:34,310 --> 01:08:36,579
against "The Big Red Machine"
later on tonight.

1374
01:08:36,645 --> 01:08:37,613
[Lawler] Right.

1375
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,616
I don't… I just think that… oh.

1376
01:08:40,683 --> 01:08:42,852
-[Cole] Crossbody.
-[Lawler] Trying to set him up.

1377
01:08:42,918 --> 01:08:45,621
[Cole] Well, trying to set him up,
it's pretty plain to see that.

1378
01:08:45,688 --> 01:08:48,190
-[Lawler] Look at…
-[Cole] Heel kick to the chin by D'Lo.

1379
01:08:48,657 --> 01:08:51,360
[Lawler] Chyna sets him up and you know
that Kane will knock him down.

1380
01:08:51,427 --> 01:08:53,496
Poor old Jericho
might stay down after that.

1381
01:08:54,864 --> 01:08:57,032
[Cole] That's The Godfather going to work
on Mosh.

1382
01:08:57,099 --> 01:08:59,735
Godfather, D'Lo and both Headbangers

1383
01:08:59,802 --> 01:09:01,403
will be a part of the Royal Rumble match

1384
01:09:01,470 --> 01:09:04,740
at the Royal Rumble itself,
just ten days away.

1385
01:09:04,807 --> 01:09:06,175
Here comes Thrasher.

1386
01:09:07,943 --> 01:09:12,148
Godfather taking exemption to the fact
that Mosh called his ladies trolls.

1387
01:09:13,048 --> 01:09:16,952
And The Godfather loves to have fun,
he's just a fun-loving guy.

1388
01:09:17,019 --> 01:09:18,187
Always entertaining.

1389
01:09:18,254 --> 01:09:20,089
[Lawler] How many girls
are over there anyway?

1390
01:09:20,156 --> 01:09:22,591
One, two, three-- Wow!
Four, five, six, seven.

1391
01:09:22,658 --> 01:09:25,127
Whoa. Can you handle this
by yourself, Michael? I need to…

1392
01:09:25,194 --> 01:09:28,964
[Cole] Oh! Leg drop by The Godfather
across the sternum of Thrasher.

1393
01:09:29,832 --> 01:09:30,933
And here comes D'Lo.

1394
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,434
[Lawler] Think they have business cards?

1395
01:09:32,501 --> 01:09:35,104
Could I go get some numbers or something?

1396
01:09:35,704 --> 01:09:38,774
[Cole] Double-team by The Godfather
and D'Lo, Thrasher off the ropes.

1397
01:09:38,841 --> 01:09:40,276
Double kick to the midsection.

1398
01:09:40,342 --> 01:09:42,378
-[Lawler] Here we go. Oh!
-[Cole] Oh, look at this.

1399
01:09:45,781 --> 01:09:46,882
Triple H and X-Pac.

1400
01:09:46,949 --> 01:09:50,686
If Triple H can locate his friend X-Pac,

1401
01:09:50,753 --> 01:09:52,621
gonna take on The Rock and Big Show.

1402
01:09:53,989 --> 01:09:55,658
[Lawler] What is the deal with X-Pac?

1403
01:09:55,724 --> 01:09:58,394
[Cole] I don't know. I have no idea.
He hasn't been seen all day.

1404
01:09:58,460 --> 01:09:59,662
Triple H can't find him.

1405
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:02,498
Triple H has set X-Pac
into a tag team match

1406
01:10:02,565 --> 01:10:05,267
to take on The Big Show and The Rock
later on this evening.

1407
01:10:06,435 --> 01:10:08,170
And, King, speaking of The Big Show
and The Rock,

1408
01:10:08,237 --> 01:10:11,240
we understand that both
of those gentlemen,

1409
01:10:11,307 --> 01:10:13,309
who will be tag team partners tonight,

1410
01:10:13,375 --> 01:10:15,277
are standing by and we're gonna have a…

1411
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:16,812
an exclusive interview with The Rock

1412
01:10:16,879 --> 01:10:20,382
and Big Show coming up immediately
following this match-up.

1413
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,986
And Mosh poking fun at D'Lo Brown.

1414
01:10:24,053 --> 01:10:27,289
Gonna be interesting to see what The Rock
and Big Show have to say.

1415
01:10:27,356 --> 01:10:29,325
They've exchanged barbs
throughout the evening.

1416
01:10:30,125 --> 01:10:32,595
And Mosh whipping D'Lo across the ring.

1417
01:10:33,929 --> 01:10:35,331
Nobody home for Mosh.

1418
01:10:35,397 --> 01:10:38,834
[Lawler] Mosh has got that skirt on
and I think I've seen a smiley face.

1419
01:10:38,901 --> 01:10:40,469
It is a smiley face!

1420
01:10:40,536 --> 01:10:42,204
[Cole] Both men are down and out
and D'Lo Brown

1421
01:10:42,271 --> 01:10:44,206
needs to make a tag to The Godfather.

1422
01:10:44,273 --> 01:10:46,108
[Lawler] Where do you get
boxer shorts like that?

1423
01:10:47,876 --> 01:10:52,181
[Cole] Godfather cheering D'Lo Brown on,
along with his ladies.

1424
01:10:54,917 --> 01:10:56,251
Never seen anything like it.

1425
01:10:57,152 --> 01:10:58,387
-Mosh…
-[Lawler] Oh.

1426
01:10:59,121 --> 01:11:00,489
[Cole] Oh, man.

1427
01:11:00,556 --> 01:11:02,391
-[Lawler] Here we go.
-[Cole] Look at The Godfather,

1428
01:11:02,458 --> 01:11:04,560
-big right-hands to Mosh and Thrasher.
-[grunts]

1429
01:11:04,627 --> 01:11:06,462
Godfather scooping him up.

1430
01:11:07,296 --> 01:11:08,364
-Look out.
-Oh.

1431
01:11:08,430 --> 01:11:10,733
Godfather knocking Mosh over the top rope.

1432
01:11:11,900 --> 01:11:12,801
Uh-oh.

1433
01:11:13,302 --> 01:11:14,737
[Lawler] I think I see it coming.

1434
01:11:15,571 --> 01:11:17,373
We're gonna go for a little train ride.

1435
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,276
[Cole] And The Godfather setting them up.
It's train time.

1436
01:11:20,342 --> 01:11:22,878
-Oh, man.
-[Lawler] Oh, yes.

1437
01:11:23,412 --> 01:11:25,347
[Cole] And D'Lo Brown tagged in.

1438
01:11:25,414 --> 01:11:26,715
Thrasher's in trouble.

1439
01:11:26,782 --> 01:11:29,418
-D'Lo, top rope. Wow.
-[Lawler] Oh, down.

1440
01:11:29,485 --> 01:11:32,321
[Cole] D'Lo caught him. Hook to the leg.
It's over.

1441
01:11:32,388 --> 01:11:35,024
-[bell rings]
-Godfather and D'Lo pick up the win.

1442
01:11:35,090 --> 01:11:37,493
[Lawler] And it's party time
in the Windy City.

1443
01:11:37,559 --> 01:11:44,199
[announcer] Here are your winners,
D'Lo Brown and The Godfather.

1444
01:11:44,266 --> 01:11:46,902
[Cole] So, The Godfather and D'Lo
celebrating this win

1445
01:11:46,969 --> 01:11:51,006
over Mosh and Thrasher, The Headbangers,
and here come the ladies.

1446
01:11:51,073 --> 01:11:54,643
Standing by, the Coach
with The Rock and Big Show.

1447
01:11:56,478 --> 01:11:59,348
To be a great tag team, you have
to have great coordination.

1448
01:11:59,415 --> 01:12:01,050
Gentlemen, what about it?

1449
01:12:01,750 --> 01:12:02,718
Well, The Rock says--

1450
01:12:02,785 --> 01:12:07,222
Listen, I don't give a damn
about what The Rock has to say.

1451
01:12:07,289 --> 01:12:08,624
I told everybody before

1452
01:12:08,691 --> 01:12:11,226
and now I'm telling you straight
to your face, Rock,

1453
01:12:11,293 --> 01:12:14,330
I don't like you.

1454
01:12:14,396 --> 01:12:17,466
The only thing I need you to do tonight
is to be my partner,

1455
01:12:17,533 --> 01:12:20,569
stand on the ring apron,
raise your pretty little eyebrow

1456
01:12:20,636 --> 01:12:24,106
and stay out of my way.

1457
01:12:24,173 --> 01:12:28,110
[crowd chanting] Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

1458
01:12:28,177 --> 01:12:32,681
[chanting getting louder]
Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

1459
01:12:32,748 --> 01:12:36,285
[chanting continues]

1460
01:12:39,421 --> 01:12:44,326
The Rock says at Royal Rumble,
The Big Show, he's a worthy opponent.

1461
01:12:44,393 --> 01:12:47,262
The Big Show, former WWE Champion,

1462
01:12:47,329 --> 01:12:49,465
but there is something
that The Big Show is not,

1463
01:12:49,531 --> 01:12:53,302
and he will never be,
and that is The People's Champion.

1464
01:12:53,369 --> 01:12:55,104
[crowd cheering]

1465
01:12:55,170 --> 01:12:59,074
Tonight, in Chicago,
The Rock says Triple H, X-Pac,

1466
01:12:59,141 --> 01:13:00,642
he's an equal opportunist.

1467
01:13:00,709 --> 01:13:03,078
Triple H, you get the back
of The Rock's hand.

1468
01:13:03,145 --> 01:13:04,847
X-Pac, you get the front.

1469
01:13:04,913 --> 01:13:07,483
So The Rock can layeth the smacketh down

1470
01:13:07,549 --> 01:13:09,218
on your candy asses.

1471
01:13:10,853 --> 01:13:14,223
If you smell what The Rock…

1472
01:13:14,289 --> 01:13:16,258
[audience] …is cooking.

1473
01:13:20,396 --> 01:13:21,663
…is cooking.

1474
01:13:24,633 --> 01:13:27,603
[rock music playing]

1475
01:13:28,404 --> 01:13:31,240
[Cole] There he is.
He's a legend in his own time.

1476
01:13:31,306 --> 01:13:33,075
He is the King of Hardcore.

1477
01:13:33,142 --> 01:13:37,613
[Lawler] Cactus Jack, two men versus one
in the handicap match.

1478
01:13:37,679 --> 01:13:41,283
But you got to wonder,
with a reputation like Cactus Jack,

1479
01:13:41,350 --> 01:13:45,220
in this environment,
who's… who has the handicap?

1480
01:13:45,287 --> 01:13:46,422
Oh, man.

1481
01:13:46,488 --> 01:13:49,625
[indistinct]

1482
01:13:49,691 --> 01:13:53,195
[Lawler] Well, this goes anywhere
in the building, use anything you want,

1483
01:13:53,262 --> 01:13:54,930
anything you get your hands on.

1484
01:13:54,997 --> 01:13:56,732
-[Cole] Oh no.
-[Lawler] Oh my God.

1485
01:13:56,799 --> 01:13:58,934
That's… oh.

1486
01:13:59,001 --> 01:14:01,537
-[Lawler] That idiot, Cactus Jack.
-[Cole] He loves this, JR.

1487
01:14:01,603 --> 01:14:03,672
You know he does. Cactus…

1488
01:14:04,139 --> 01:14:05,307
-[Lawler] What?
-[Cole] Yes. Yes.

1489
01:14:05,374 --> 01:14:07,576
-[thud]
-Cactus Jack.

1490
01:14:07,643 --> 01:14:10,779
Cactus Jack, the King of Hardcore!

1491
01:14:12,881 --> 01:14:14,349
-[explosion]
-Oh!

1492
01:14:15,284 --> 01:14:16,852
[Cole] We are back on SmackDown

1493
01:14:16,919 --> 01:14:20,289
on a night where we have seen
the return of Cactus Jack.

1494
01:14:20,355 --> 01:14:23,025
We're about to see
the "Big Red Machine" Kane

1495
01:14:23,091 --> 01:14:26,929
go one-on-one with "Y2J" Chris Jericho.

1496
01:14:29,064 --> 01:14:32,734
Kane is lovesick, blind with passion
for his girlfriend Tori.

1497
01:14:32,801 --> 01:14:34,870
And as we've seen on a number
of occasions, King,

1498
01:14:34,937 --> 01:14:37,105
Kane will do anything for Tori.

1499
01:14:37,172 --> 01:14:40,409
[Lawler] And Tori just has not been
the same Tori that we knew

1500
01:14:40,476 --> 01:14:43,178
and, uh, some of us loved,
since Christmas.

1501
01:14:43,245 --> 01:14:45,848
I mean, since she spent the holidays
with X-Pac,

1502
01:14:45,914 --> 01:14:47,115
she came back a changed woman

1503
01:14:47,182 --> 01:14:52,120
and… even though X-Pac was a perfect
gentleman throughout that…

1504
01:14:52,187 --> 01:14:56,358
throughout the holidays, it's just…
it's just, Tori's been different.

1505
01:14:56,425 --> 01:14:59,127
[Cole] Well, all this…
all this boils down to, King,

1506
01:14:59,194 --> 01:15:01,597
is Chyna set Chris Jericho up.

1507
01:15:01,663 --> 01:15:05,367
Chyna told Tori that Chris Jericho
has been fantasizing about her,

1508
01:15:05,434 --> 01:15:07,803
and, of course, Tori ran
and told her boyfriend about it.

1509
01:15:07,870 --> 01:15:10,873
Hence, this match-up, Jericho versus Kane.

1510
01:15:10,939 --> 01:15:12,541
Non-title, mind you.

1511
01:15:12,608 --> 01:15:14,476
[Lawler] I hate to agree with you,
but you're right.

1512
01:15:15,544 --> 01:15:17,346
-[explosion]
-[Lawler] Oh!

1513
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:22,217
[Cole] "Y2J" Chris Jericho
set to go one-on-one with Kane.

[Cole] The first time in the history
of World Wrestling Entertainment,

1519
01:15:34,663 --> 01:15:37,933
we have Co-Intercontinental Champion,
Chris Jericho and Chyna.

1520
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:42,170
King, this is the building Y2J
made his debut in this past summer.

1521
01:15:42,237 --> 01:15:44,973
[Lawler] I know and I remember it.
I'll never forget it.

1522
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:48,911
Kane, first of all,
I have no problems wrestling you,

1523
01:15:48,977 --> 01:15:52,581
but I realize that Tori is your girlfriend

1524
01:15:52,648 --> 01:15:54,883
and you believe everything she says.

1525
01:15:54,950 --> 01:15:58,320
-But in this case, she's a liar.
-[Lawler] What?

1526
01:15:58,387 --> 01:16:02,224
I mean, well, I don't mean she's a liar.
What I mean is, this is all Chyna's doing.

1527
01:16:02,291 --> 01:16:04,660
I saw what she was pulling on the monitor.

1528
01:16:04,726 --> 01:16:06,929
She's trying to cause trouble between us.

1529
01:16:06,995 --> 01:16:07,896
I don't want that.

1530
01:16:07,963 --> 01:16:10,399
Believe me, from the bottom of my heart

1531
01:16:10,465 --> 01:16:12,200
when I tell you there is nothing

1532
01:16:12,267 --> 01:16:15,771
even remotely attractive about Tori to me.

1533
01:16:16,505 --> 01:16:19,274
No, no, no. I don't… I don't mean that.
I don't mean that.

1534
01:16:19,341 --> 01:16:21,376
She's just not my type.

1535
01:16:21,443 --> 01:16:24,379
I like prettier girls. I mean, no…

1536
01:16:24,446 --> 01:16:26,248
-[Lawler] Oh my gosh.
-She's not that ugly but…

1537
01:16:26,315 --> 01:16:28,984
-[Lawler] Oh boy. Stop, please, stop.
-What I'm trying to say is,

1538
01:16:29,051 --> 01:16:31,820
I like girls
with a little bit more intelligence.

1539
01:16:31,887 --> 01:16:35,857
I mean, no, not that she's stupid,
but, Kane, what…

1540
01:16:37,659 --> 01:16:40,796
-[Lawler] Open mouth, insert foot.
-[Cole] Yeah, insert Kane's foot.

1541
01:16:40,862 --> 01:16:42,197
…a lunatic, psycho…

1542
01:16:42,264 --> 01:16:43,999
[Cole] Well, Kane's had enough

1543
01:16:44,566 --> 01:16:48,203
and "Y2J" Chris Jericho
is fighting for his life here.

1544
01:16:48,270 --> 01:16:51,306
And here we go. Non-title match-up.

1545
01:16:51,373 --> 01:16:55,644
Jericho and Kane, Jericho went straight
into that one, the backbreaker.

1546
01:16:55,711 --> 01:16:58,647
-Kane will be, as Chyna and Kat--
-[Lawler] Look. Look at this. Look!

1547
01:16:58,714 --> 01:17:00,182
-[grunts]
-Chyna's loving it!

1548
01:17:00,248 --> 01:17:02,584
[Cole] Yeah, Chyna laughing along
with Kat.

1549
01:17:02,651 --> 01:17:04,620
Chyna set up Chris Jericho.

1550
01:17:06,054 --> 01:17:07,089
[Lawler] Oh my gosh. Oh!

1551
01:17:07,155 --> 01:17:09,458
[Cole] Kane whipped across the ring
into the turnbuckle

1552
01:17:09,524 --> 01:17:11,893
and Jericho battling back
with everything he's got.

1553
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:12,995
[groans]

1554
01:17:13,061 --> 01:17:17,165
You know, King, Kane will be a part
of the 30-man Royal Rumble match

1555
01:17:17,232 --> 01:17:19,534
in ten days from Madison Square Garden.

1556
01:17:19,601 --> 01:17:22,404
And the "Big Red Machine"
may very well win

1557
01:17:22,471 --> 01:17:24,573
that Royal Rumble match in ten days.

1558
01:17:24,639 --> 01:17:25,907
[Lawler] Oh, man.

1559
01:17:26,308 --> 01:17:31,346
Well, you know, this is all a retaliation
from Monday night on the part of Chyna.

1560
01:17:32,447 --> 01:17:35,751
[Cole] Yeah, when Chris Jericho refused
to tag into that tag team match.

1561
01:17:36,251 --> 01:17:37,753
Kane, top rope.

1562
01:17:37,819 --> 01:17:38,854
Oh!

1563
01:17:39,287 --> 01:17:43,258
Three hundred twenty-five pounds
slamming into "Y2J,"

1564
01:17:43,325 --> 01:17:45,160
and Jericho may be out cold.

1565
01:17:45,794 --> 01:17:47,429
[Lawler] Good thing
this is a non-title match.

1566
01:17:47,496 --> 01:17:49,798
Of course, trying to make sure that--

1567
01:17:49,865 --> 01:17:50,866
Look at this!

1568
01:17:50,932 --> 01:17:52,000
[Cole] Nobody home.

1569
01:17:52,067 --> 01:17:54,002
Kane missed,
Jericho ducked underneath him.

1570
01:17:56,071 --> 01:17:58,640
And Chyna made sure
it's a non-title match.

1571
01:17:58,707 --> 01:18:00,942
She, of course, is co-holder
of the Intercontinental Title.

1572
01:18:01,009 --> 01:18:03,045
If Jericho went into this thing and lost,

1573
01:18:03,111 --> 01:18:05,080
Chyna would lose the championship as well.

1574
01:18:06,114 --> 01:18:08,216
[Lawler] Boy, Jericho, I can't believe…

1575
01:18:08,283 --> 01:18:10,018
What were some of the things he said
on the way?

1576
01:18:10,085 --> 01:18:12,854
That somebody'd have to be retarded
to find Tori good looking?

1577
01:18:12,921 --> 01:18:13,989
[grunts]

1578
01:18:14,056 --> 01:18:15,757
Or he likes prettier girls than Tori?

1579
01:18:15,824 --> 01:18:17,893
[Cole] Jericho hanging Kane up
on the top rope.

1580
01:18:17,959 --> 01:18:19,227
-Jericho flies.
-[thud]

1581
01:18:19,294 --> 01:18:21,096
Nice maneuver, off the top rope,

1582
01:18:21,163 --> 01:18:23,965
kick to the side of the head
of the "Big Red Machine" Kane.

1583
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:28,637
Kane slowly back up,
nobody home for the baseball slide.

1584
01:18:28,704 --> 01:18:32,941
And what a right-hand by Kane,
flattening Jericho.

1585
01:18:36,611 --> 01:18:38,947
Talking about Kane
in the Royal Rumble match,

1586
01:18:39,014 --> 01:18:41,883
we know The Rock and Big Show are gonna be
in the Royal Rumble match as well.

1587
01:18:41,950 --> 01:18:44,186
[Lawler] Boy, Rock and The Big Show,
both totally determined

1588
01:18:44,252 --> 01:18:45,353
to win the Royal Rumble.

1589
01:18:45,420 --> 01:18:47,355
They're forgetting about a guy
like Kane, aren't they?

1590
01:18:47,422 --> 01:18:49,891
[Cole] Well, yeah, they are. And you know,
Rock… oh, look at this.

1591
01:18:49,958 --> 01:18:51,693
Steel steps from Kane.

1592
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,162
Nobody home. Steps into the post.

1593
01:18:55,630 --> 01:18:57,733
Jericho trying to use his quickness,
and he does.

1594
01:18:57,799 --> 01:19:01,703
Nice leg sweep. Into the steel steps,
Kane goes face-first.

1595
01:19:02,337 --> 01:19:04,973
Rock and Big Show
will team up later on tonight.

1596
01:19:05,474 --> 01:19:08,744
In fact, that'll be next folks,
against Triple H and X-Pac.

1597
01:19:08,810 --> 01:19:13,148
Don't forget, The Big Show said,
"I don't like The Rock."

1598
01:19:13,215 --> 01:19:16,017
But he said he's gonna be professional
about this match-up.

1599
01:19:16,084 --> 01:19:17,686
Missile dropkick, top rope.

1600
01:19:17,753 --> 01:19:19,287
The Big Man is knocked down.

1601
01:19:19,354 --> 01:19:20,789
And look at… look at Jericho.

1602
01:19:20,856 --> 01:19:23,391
Jericho is going for the walls
of Jericho and Kane.

1603
01:19:23,458 --> 01:19:24,993
Can he get the big man over, King?

1604
01:19:25,060 --> 01:19:26,661
[Lawler] I'll bet Chyna
can't believe this.

1605
01:19:28,096 --> 01:19:29,764
[Cole] This is a submission maneuver.

1606
01:19:29,831 --> 01:19:31,967
-If Jericho can get him over…
-[Lawler] Speaking of Chyna,

1607
01:19:32,033 --> 01:19:33,168
look who's here.

1608
01:19:33,935 --> 01:19:35,937
[Lawler] Chyna, all smiles,
along with The Kat.

1609
01:19:37,172 --> 01:19:40,776
[Cole] Jericho's Co-Intercontinental
Champion.

1610
01:19:41,343 --> 01:19:42,677
And here's Kane.

1611
01:19:43,178 --> 01:19:45,313
The distraction got Jericho in trouble.

1612
01:19:45,380 --> 01:19:46,848
-[King] Oh!
-[Cole] Chokeslam.

1613
01:19:46,915 --> 01:19:49,284
Jericho is going for the walls of Jericho.

1614
01:19:49,351 --> 01:19:50,719
Chyna distracted him,

1615
01:19:50,786 --> 01:19:52,654
and Kane with a chokeslam.

1616
01:19:52,721 --> 01:19:53,755
[mouthing]

1617
01:19:53,822 --> 01:19:54,856
[Lawler] Look at The Kat.

1618
01:19:57,926 --> 01:19:59,528
They're loving this.

1619
01:19:59,594 --> 01:20:02,197
Which one of these women is worse,
Tori or Chyna? Oh, no.

1620
01:20:02,264 --> 01:20:04,399
[Cole] Tombstone piledriver.

1621
01:20:05,467 --> 01:20:06,868
Forget about it.

1622
01:20:07,435 --> 01:20:10,906
Kane wins the non-title match-up,
and Chyna looks…

1623
01:20:10,972 --> 01:20:14,376
-doesn't look the least bit concerned.
-[announcer] Here is your winner,

1624
01:20:14,442 --> 01:20:17,112
-Kane!
-[Lawler] Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

1625
01:20:17,179 --> 01:20:18,046
What?

1626
01:20:18,713 --> 01:20:20,749
And she's grabbing
the Intercontinental Title belt.

1627
01:20:20,816 --> 01:20:23,418
[Cole] The Kat just catnapped
the Intercontinental Title belt.

1628
01:20:23,485 --> 01:20:24,319
[Lawler] Catnapped?

1629
01:20:24,386 --> 01:20:27,055
[Cole] Well, not really a catnap,
it belongs to Chyna as well.

1630
01:20:29,591 --> 01:20:30,792
[Cole] Look at Kane.

1631
01:20:31,259 --> 01:20:33,228
[Lawler] At least he's avenged the honor
of Tori.

1632
01:20:33,762 --> 01:20:35,931
[Cole] He may have done that, but Jericho,

1633
01:20:35,997 --> 01:20:40,035
the victim of a set-up
by his co-champion, by Chyna.

1634
01:20:40,769 --> 01:20:42,204
-[Lawler] Unbelievable.
-Hey.

1635
01:20:42,270 --> 01:20:43,738
-[Lawler] Hey, there's X-Pac.
-I'm sorry.

1636
01:20:43,805 --> 01:20:46,641
I can only say it so many times, right?
We're sorry for this whole thing.

1637
01:20:46,708 --> 01:20:47,676
I'm sorry, too.

1638
01:20:47,742 --> 01:20:49,277
[laughs]

1639
01:20:49,344 --> 01:20:51,046
I don't want to hear that.

1640
01:20:51,112 --> 01:20:52,480
-You know, maybe--
-I am sorry.

1641
01:20:52,547 --> 01:20:53,982
You know, you and I…

1642
01:20:54,049 --> 01:20:55,550
-Come on, man.
-I mean, I can go with that,

1643
01:20:55,617 --> 01:20:56,785
you, but just not her.

1644
01:20:56,852 --> 01:20:59,120
You got to have faith in the deal,
all right?

1645
01:20:59,187 --> 01:21:02,224
Hey, this has worked out for The Outlaws.
We're making good on this whole thing.

1646
01:21:02,991 --> 01:21:05,760
Yeah, The Outlaws are doing great,
two-on-one.

1647
01:21:05,827 --> 01:21:07,829
Pshh! What about me?

1648
01:21:07,896 --> 01:21:09,397
It's the same stuff as before,

1649
01:21:09,464 --> 01:21:12,267
Big Show, Rock, go out there with X-Pac,

1650
01:21:12,334 --> 01:21:14,502
-get the crap kicked out, you know.
-No.

1651
01:21:14,569 --> 01:21:15,637
But you're together.

1652
01:21:15,704 --> 01:21:19,007
We're together.
You've got to trust me on this.

1653
01:21:20,108 --> 01:21:21,243
Trust us.

1654
01:21:23,144 --> 01:21:24,846
Trust me, all right?

1655
01:21:24,913 --> 01:21:25,747
Just trust me.

1656
01:21:26,147 --> 01:21:27,282
You know you can do that.

1657
01:21:28,984 --> 01:21:31,753
[Cole] Triple H, X-Pac,
Rock, Big Show next.

1658
01:21:33,655 --> 01:21:35,991
[narrator] And now,
the WWE slam-of-the-week

1659
01:21:36,057 --> 01:21:39,694
presented by 1-800-Collect,
the easy way to save.

1660
01:21:40,528 --> 01:21:42,163
-[Lawler] Oh, no.
-[crowd cheering]

1661
01:21:42,230 --> 01:21:43,265
Triple H!

1662
01:21:44,065 --> 01:21:44,900
Wait a minute.

1663
01:21:44,966 --> 01:21:46,401
-I'm right here!
-[thud]

1664
01:21:47,068 --> 01:21:48,403
-[Ross] My God.
-[Cole] Look out.

1665
01:21:48,470 --> 01:21:49,404
[Lawler] That's it.

1666
01:21:49,471 --> 01:21:53,808
[Ross] Triple H has Pedigreed Mick Foley
right through our table to the concrete.

1667
01:21:54,476 --> 01:21:57,112
For God's sake, stop it.

1668
01:21:58,847 --> 01:22:00,282
♪ Are you ready? ♪

1669
01:22:01,149 --> 01:22:04,653
[Cole] King, did that Pedigree to Mankind
from Triple H

1670
01:22:04,719 --> 01:22:07,923
snap Mick Foley
into the realm of Cactus Jack?

1671
01:22:08,790 --> 01:22:10,425
[Lawler] You think that's what to blame?

1672
01:22:10,492 --> 01:22:12,794
♪ You think that you're better? ♪

1673
01:22:14,996 --> 01:22:16,064
♪ Well, you better get ready ♪

1674
01:22:18,667 --> 01:22:20,802

1676

[Cole] And here you'll notice
that they're playing the DX music.

1677
01:22:26,675 --> 01:22:29,210
-[Lawler] Right.
-[Cole] Perhaps as a show of unity.

1678
01:22:29,277 --> 01:22:32,614
Triple H asking X-Pac
to trust him in this match-up.

1679
01:22:33,081 --> 01:22:36,351
Triple H and X-Pac set to take on
The Rock and The Big Show,

1680
01:22:36,418 --> 01:22:40,055
but will Triple H be completely focused
on this match, King,

1681
01:22:40,121 --> 01:22:43,158
knowing that in ten days,
a week from this coming Sunday

1682
01:22:43,224 --> 01:22:44,859
at Madison Square Garden,

1683
01:22:44,926 --> 01:22:47,829
Triple H puts the title on the line
against Cactus Jack?

1684
01:22:47,896 --> 01:22:51,433
[announcer] The following tag team match
is scheduled for one fall.

1685
01:22:51,499 --> 01:22:53,168
Making their way to the ring,
being accompanied

1686
01:22:53,234 --> 01:22:55,837
by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley,

1687
01:22:55,904 --> 01:23:01,109
at a combined weight of 482 pounds, X-Pac,

1688
01:23:01,176 --> 01:23:06,915
and the World Wrestling Entertainment
Champion, Triple H.

1689
01:23:06,982 --> 01:23:11,186
[Cole] Well, X-Pac will be a part
of the Royal Rumble match itself

1690
01:23:11,252 --> 01:23:13,321
with 29 other Superstars

1691
01:23:13,388 --> 01:23:16,624
a week from this coming Sunday
at the Royal Rumble.

1692
01:23:18,093 --> 01:23:21,496
This match was set up
by Triple H earlier on tonight

1693
01:23:22,097 --> 01:23:25,066
as a way to repair
his damaged relationship

1694
01:23:25,133 --> 01:23:27,902
with his DX brethren, his buddy, X-Pac.

1695
01:23:27,969 --> 01:23:31,773
[Lawler] And you remember what
Triple H said? "Just trust me."

1696
01:23:33,108 --> 01:23:36,010
[Cole] We have to believe
that the McMahon-Helmsley era

1697
01:23:36,077 --> 01:23:37,979
has got to have something up its sleeve.

1698
01:23:38,046 --> 01:23:40,415
-It always seems that it does.
-[Lawler] No, wait.

1699
01:23:40,482 --> 01:23:42,250
You don't, you don't have
to start being cynical.

1700
01:23:42,317 --> 01:23:43,385
[Cole] I'm not being cynical.

1701
01:23:43,451 --> 01:23:45,520
[Lawler] Yeah, you said
they got something up their sleeve,

1702
01:23:45,587 --> 01:23:47,956
I mean, you know, you see a glass,
it's always half empty.

1703
01:23:48,023 --> 01:23:49,591
[Cole] I said perhaps.

1704
01:23:54,429 --> 01:23:55,330
[Triple H] Now, uh…

1705
01:23:56,631 --> 01:23:59,167
let me make a guess there, butterball,

1706
01:23:59,768 --> 01:24:01,436
who's gonna walk through there next.

1707
01:24:03,238 --> 01:24:06,441
I got a feeling I know, because, uh…

1708
01:24:08,376 --> 01:24:09,577
the way I see it,

1709
01:24:09,644 --> 01:24:13,615
there's no way that The Rock
is gonna walk out here next,

1710
01:24:13,681 --> 01:24:18,086
'cause with an ego as big as his,
he's got to come down last.

1711
01:24:18,153 --> 01:24:21,523
He's got to make the big impression,
get the big pop, right?

1712
01:24:21,589 --> 01:24:22,424
[Cole] Grand entrance.

1713
01:24:22,490 --> 01:24:23,892
So, let me see…

1714
01:24:25,226 --> 01:24:27,695
that leaves the man

1715
01:24:27,762 --> 01:24:32,200
that The Rock called a jabroni.

1716
01:24:32,267 --> 01:24:33,501
-[Lawler] Uh-oh.
-[Cole] Oh, boy.

1717
01:24:33,568 --> 01:24:36,304
[rock music playing]

1718
01:24:36,371 --> 01:24:38,506
[Cole] Triple H is doing it, folks.

1719
01:24:38,573 --> 01:24:41,643
Here comes the former WWE Champion.

1720
01:24:41,709 --> 01:24:45,313
-[Lawler] Let me think. The big jabroni!
-[announcer] And their opponents…

1721
01:24:45,814 --> 01:24:48,383
introducing first,
making his way to the ring,

1722
01:24:48,450 --> 01:24:52,253
he weighs in at 500 pounds,

1723
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,190
The Big Show!

1724
01:24:55,256 --> 01:24:57,358
[Cole] King, I wouldn't say that too loud
if I were you,

1725
01:24:57,425 --> 01:25:00,428
and, uh, Triple H wisely
ducks out of the ring.

1726
01:25:00,495 --> 01:25:04,599
You know, Big Show cannot wait
to get his hands on Triple H.

1727
01:25:04,666 --> 01:25:06,701
Big Show has never been granted a rematch

1728
01:25:06,768 --> 01:25:09,370
after Triple H defeated him
for the championship.

1729
01:25:09,437 --> 01:25:12,674
[Lawler] Well, I'm sure that day would
have come because The Game…

1730
01:25:12,740 --> 01:25:14,108
-[explosion]
-Oh, man!

1731
01:25:16,244 --> 01:25:17,412
Scared the crap out of me.

01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,481

for the most electrifying man
in Sports Entertainment today,

1744

The Rock!

1745
01:25:54,382 --> 01:25:56,417
[Lawler] This is unbelievable.
Listen to this!

1746
01:25:56,484 --> 01:25:58,720
[Cole] The Rock, along with The Big Show

1747

in ten days for the Royal Rumble.

1749
01:26:03,157 --> 01:26:06,427
Both men, teammates tonight,
will be opponents

1750
01:26:06,494 --> 01:26:10,932
in the Royal Rumble match itself
in ten days at the Royal Rumble.

1751
01:26:10,999 --> 01:26:13,568
[Lawler] Hey, look at The Big Show,
he's all over The Rock.

1752
01:26:15,370 --> 01:26:17,839
I think The Big Show
is telling Rock he'll start.

1753
01:26:17,906 --> 01:26:20,408
The Rock don't…The Rock don't
take orders from nobody.

1754
01:26:20,475 --> 01:26:23,211
[Cole] Well, the question is, King, how
in the world are The Rock and Big Show

1755
01:26:23,278 --> 01:26:25,413
gonna be able to team up in this match?

1756
01:26:25,480 --> 01:26:28,883
You heard The Big Show earlier on,
say, "Bottom line,

1757
01:26:28,950 --> 01:26:30,752
I don't like you, Rock.
I don't like you at all."

1758
01:26:30,818 --> 01:26:32,487
-That's what The Big Show said.
-[Lawler] Okay.

1759
01:26:32,554 --> 01:26:34,622
Bottom line is we're about to find out.

1760
01:26:34,689 --> 01:26:36,558
Anything can happen here in the WWE.

1761
01:26:37,091 --> 01:26:40,695
[Cole] So, you got Triple H and X-Pac,
two best of friends on one side

1762
01:26:40,762 --> 01:26:43,364
with a strained relationship
in recent weeks.

1763
01:26:43,431 --> 01:26:47,402
On the other side,
you got two assertive personalities,

1764
01:26:47,468 --> 01:26:48,803
The Big Show and The Rock.

1765
01:26:50,071 --> 01:26:51,439
Can they get along?

1766
01:26:51,506 --> 01:26:52,540
We're gonna find out.

1767
01:26:53,074 --> 01:26:55,143
Big Show, 7'2", 500 pounds,

1768
01:26:55,210 --> 01:26:58,179
pounding away on the World Wrestling
Entertainment Champion.

1769
01:26:58,246 --> 01:26:59,280
[grunts]

1770
01:26:59,347 --> 01:27:01,516
[Lawler] And there you see,
there's The Game right there.

1771
01:27:01,583 --> 01:27:03,718
-[Cole] Oh, what a headbutt.
-[Lawler] Mistake, mistake.

1772
01:27:03,785 --> 01:27:07,822
[Cole] It was Triple H who single-handedly
defeated The Big Show

1773
01:27:07,889 --> 01:27:10,959
to win the WWE Title
with The Big Show upset

1774
01:27:11,025 --> 01:27:12,860
that he never got a rematch.

1775
01:27:14,829 --> 01:27:16,631
[Lawler] That's just probably
bad negotiations.

1776
01:27:16,698 --> 01:27:18,700
I think probably Big Show
should get a better agent.

1777
01:27:18,766 --> 01:27:22,971
[Cole] Now, look at this. Triple H taking
the sidewalk slam by The Big Show.

1778
01:27:23,037 --> 01:27:24,939
Man.

1779
01:27:25,006 --> 01:27:27,375
-[Lawler] But, you know, The Game caught--
-[Cole] Hey!

1780
01:27:27,442 --> 01:27:30,378
Rock went for a tag
and The Big Show refused to tag him.

1781
01:27:30,445 --> 01:27:33,548
[Lawler] Huh? Well, you know,
Triple H called it.

1782
01:27:33,615 --> 01:27:37,318
Oh! He said that The Rock
would have to make the grand entrance.

1783
01:27:37,385 --> 01:27:38,920
Save the best for last. Look at that!

1784
01:27:38,987 --> 01:27:41,189
[Cole] Well, X-Pac tried to make
a grand entrance as well,

1785
01:27:41,255 --> 01:27:43,925
shuffled in the corner,
and there's a DX sandwich

1786
01:27:43,992 --> 01:27:45,593
-and the bread is The Big Show.
-[Lawler] Yo!

1787
01:27:45,660 --> 01:27:46,761
-Oh, man.
-[thud]

1788
01:27:48,029 --> 01:27:49,230
[Cole] A biel out of the corner,

1789
01:27:49,297 --> 01:27:54,402
and Triple H gets one as well
from the 7'2", 500-pound Big Show.

1790
01:27:55,737 --> 01:27:58,339
And Rock is demanding a tag, King.

1791
01:27:58,406 --> 01:28:00,975
[Lawler] He wants to get in there
and lay a SmackDown himself.

1792
01:28:01,042 --> 01:28:03,111
-[Cole] Triple H off the rope. Oh!
-[Lawler] Oh.

1793
01:28:03,177 --> 01:28:05,079
[Cole] Facebuster. Now, tag.

1794
01:28:05,780 --> 01:28:08,316
And the champ now, The Game,
walks right into a--

1795
01:28:08,383 --> 01:28:11,586
And what a strike!
What a slam by The Big Show.

1796
01:28:13,087 --> 01:28:14,889
-[Lawler] Wait a minute.
-Ahh!

1797
01:28:14,956 --> 01:28:16,791
[Cole] And The Big Show saying
this one's over

1798
01:28:16,858 --> 01:28:18,826
and Rock just tagged himself in.

1799
01:28:18,893 --> 01:28:21,663
The Rock said enough of this,
I want in this match.

1800
01:28:21,729 --> 01:28:22,997
[Lawler] The referee saw it.

1801
01:28:23,064 --> 01:28:25,767
The Big Show raised that big huge hand
up in the air and The Rock tagged it.

1802
01:28:25,833 --> 01:28:28,870
[Cole] And The Rock with a right-hand
and Triple H in another one.

1803
01:28:28,936 --> 01:28:32,173
And here comes X-Pac.
And The Brahma Bull is cooking.

1804
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:33,107
-[Lawler] Oh!
-[thud]

1805
01:28:34,275 --> 01:28:37,912
[Cole] The Rock and Big Show, two huge,
assertive personalities.

1806
01:28:37,979 --> 01:28:41,616
And X-Pac over the top rope.
Here comes The Rock.

1807
01:28:41,683 --> 01:28:43,718
-[Lawler] Oh, no.
-[Cole] Triple H stepped right into it.

1808
01:28:45,453 --> 01:28:48,489
[Lawler] I can't believe that The Rock
is manhandling the WWE Champion,

1809
01:28:48,556 --> 01:28:50,191
he owns Triple H right now.

1810
01:28:50,258 --> 01:28:51,793
Michael, I think we're about to see it.

1811
01:28:51,859 --> 01:28:54,362
-[crowd cheering]
-[Cole] Here it comes now.

1812
01:28:54,429 --> 01:28:58,132
X-Pac with a steel chair
to the back of The Rock

1813
01:28:58,199 --> 01:28:59,767
and the referee never saw it.

1814
01:29:00,668 --> 01:29:02,904
Right into the back of the head, King,
of The Rock.

1815
01:29:02,970 --> 01:29:04,372
[Lawler] He's out. Rock's out.

1816
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:06,741
[Cole] And Triple H with a clothesline.

1817
01:29:07,342 --> 01:29:09,544
And The Game, now, coming to play.

1818
01:29:10,211 --> 01:29:13,314
[Lawler] It put a huge smile on the face
of Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

1819
01:29:13,381 --> 01:29:15,683
[Cole] Well, if there are any doubts
that X-Pac and Triple H

1820
01:29:15,750 --> 01:29:19,520
would work together, it's been settled.
DX will work together in this one

1821
01:29:19,587 --> 01:29:21,122
against The Rock and The Big Show.

1822
01:29:22,156 --> 01:29:23,491
[Lawler] Now, look at this.

1823
01:29:23,558 --> 01:29:26,561
[Cole] Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley
looks on, enjoying it.

1824
01:29:26,627 --> 01:29:28,930
[crowd chants: "Rocky"]

1825
01:29:28,996 --> 01:29:31,566
It was an X-Pac steel chair
to the head of The Rock

1826
01:29:31,632 --> 01:29:33,735
that smacked up… Oh! Champion down!

1827
01:29:33,801 --> 01:29:36,838
And The Rock counters the bronco buster
with a clothesline.

1828
01:29:36,904 --> 01:29:38,973
-[Lawler] I can't believe it!
-[Cole] And what a heel kick,

1829
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:40,842
spinning heel kick. Here's the cover.

1830
01:29:40,908 --> 01:29:43,010
[Lawler] Hook to the leg.
X-Pac may have him.

1831
01:29:43,077 --> 01:29:45,012
-No!
-[Cole] And shoulder up by The Rock.

1832
01:29:48,116 --> 01:29:51,119
Boy, X-Pac was less than a second away
from getting the win over The Rock.

1833
01:29:51,185 --> 01:29:53,955
And here comes Triple H, the WWE Champion,

1834
01:29:54,021 --> 01:29:57,191
who in ten days at the Rumble
has to take on Cactus Jack

1835
01:29:57,258 --> 01:29:59,961
with the title on the line
in a street fight.

1836
01:30:00,027 --> 01:30:02,130
[Lawler] Michael, you have to agree
that the continuity

1837
01:30:02,196 --> 01:30:06,434
and the confidence is growing minute
by minute with Triple H and X-Pac.

1838
01:30:06,501 --> 01:30:08,903
[Cole] I just said that if there
was any doubt they'd work together,

1839
01:30:08,970 --> 01:30:09,904
it's been settled.

1840
01:30:09,971 --> 01:30:13,141
Triple H and X-Pac
working like a well-oiled team.

1841
01:30:14,342 --> 01:30:17,211
And the champion choking
The People's Champion, The Rock.

1842
01:30:17,278 --> 01:30:18,846
[Lawler] It was a perfect
well-oiled choke.

1843
01:30:18,913 --> 01:30:22,683
[Cole] Well, The Rock really needs to make
a tag here as he tries to battle back.

1844
01:30:22,750 --> 01:30:24,585
Exchanging blows with The Game.

1845
01:30:24,652 --> 01:30:27,321
[crowd cheering]

1846
01:30:27,388 --> 01:30:29,290
Reversal, Rock off the ropes,

1847
01:30:29,357 --> 01:30:31,359
ducks underneath the right-hand
by Triple H.

1848
01:30:31,425 --> 01:30:32,727
They both knocked each other down.

1849
01:30:32,794 --> 01:30:33,795
[Lawler] Oh my gosh.

1850
01:30:34,729 --> 01:30:36,864
Now what? Stephanie, do something.

1851
01:30:37,398 --> 01:30:39,967
[Cole] I can tell you "now what,"
Rock needs to tag The Big Show,

1852
01:30:40,034 --> 01:30:42,069
Triple H needs to tag X-Pac.

1853
01:30:43,805 --> 01:30:46,541
Well, The Rock and Triple H
are out in the middle of the ring.

1854
01:30:47,208 --> 01:30:51,479
As this crowd, this capacity crowd,
starts to chant The Rock's name.

1855
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:54,816
[Lawler] Put your arm in there, X-Pac,
reach in there.

1856
01:30:54,882 --> 01:30:57,218
[crowd chanting]

1857
01:30:57,285 --> 01:30:59,187
[Cole] Can you imagine
what the atmosphere like,

1858
01:30:59,253 --> 01:31:01,422
is gonna be like, King,
at the Garden in ten days?

1859
01:31:01,489 --> 01:31:04,859
Wait a minute. The Rock went for the tag
but The Big Show,

1860
01:31:04,926 --> 01:31:06,861
it looks like he was distracted by X-Pac.

1861
01:31:06,928 --> 01:31:09,497
[Cole] Well, he went to meet X-Pac
in the corner down there.

1862
01:31:10,364 --> 01:31:13,334
Rock was close to getting the tag,
The Big Show wasn't there.

1863
01:31:14,769 --> 01:31:16,304
And here comes X-Pac now.

1864
01:31:16,370 --> 01:31:17,605
-[Lawler] Oh.
-[thud]

1865
01:31:17,672 --> 01:31:21,075
[Cole] Continuity between DX
but no such continuity

1866
01:31:21,142 --> 01:31:22,643
between The Big Show and The Rock.

1867
01:31:22,710 --> 01:31:23,945
[Lawler] Bad break for The Rock.

1868
01:31:25,213 --> 01:31:27,248
[Cole] We wondered aloud
at how The Rock and Big Show

1869
01:31:27,315 --> 01:31:29,417
would get along as tag team partners,

1870
01:31:29,483 --> 01:31:31,452
and it hasn't been so great so far.

1871
01:31:31,519 --> 01:31:33,321
-What a kick by X-Pac.
-[Lawler] Wow.

1872
01:31:33,387 --> 01:31:35,556
[Cole] To the side of the head
of The Rock.

1873
01:31:36,958 --> 01:31:39,627
Big Show well-rested,
The Rock needs to make a tag

1874
01:31:39,694 --> 01:31:41,662
as Triple H comes back in in the ring.

1875
01:31:41,729 --> 01:31:44,432
-[Lawler] Oh, man.
-[Cole] Suplex to The Rock.

1876
01:31:44,499 --> 01:31:47,902
Cover center of the ring, hook to the leg.
There's two and The Rock kicks out again.

1877
01:31:49,136 --> 01:31:51,405
[Lawler] Look at The Big Show
starting to get a little disgusted,

1878
01:31:51,472 --> 01:31:52,740
he wants in there bad.

1879
01:31:54,742 --> 01:31:58,346
[Cole] The Rock doesn't look like
he has much left, King.

1880
01:31:58,412 --> 01:32:00,748
-He really needs to get to his corner.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh.

1881
01:32:00,815 --> 01:32:01,849
Right-hand by The Rock,

1882
01:32:01,916 --> 01:32:04,919
trying to battle back, desperately,
The Brahma Bull.

1883
01:32:05,519 --> 01:32:07,488
[Lawler] Well, just when you think
The Rock is down,

1884
01:32:07,555 --> 01:32:10,091
he'll come back, lay the SmackDown on you.
Look at this.

1885
01:32:10,157 --> 01:32:13,628
-What'd I tell ya?
-[Cole] DDT by The Rock to the champion.

1886
01:32:15,963 --> 01:32:17,598
-Whoo!
-[Cole] Let me tell you something.

1887
01:32:17,665 --> 01:32:20,635
The Game is in trouble right now.
The Game needs to make a tag.

1888
01:32:20,701 --> 01:32:23,471
The Rock, though,
needs to make a tag as well, King.

1889
01:32:23,538 --> 01:32:25,940
But The Game is a lot closer
to his partner, X-Pac,

1890
01:32:26,007 --> 01:32:28,175
than The Rock is to The Big Show.

1891
01:32:30,311 --> 01:32:33,281
Big Show screaming to The Brahma Bull,

1892
01:32:33,347 --> 01:32:35,449
trying to give him encouragement
to make the tag.

1893
01:32:35,516 --> 01:32:38,286
[Lawler] Stephanie screaming
to her husband, Triple H.

1894
01:32:38,352 --> 01:32:40,554
[Cole] Rock with a dazed look in his eyes.

1895
01:32:40,621 --> 01:32:41,923
His eyes are glassy.

1896
01:32:41,989 --> 01:32:44,058
Can he make it to his partner,
The Big Show?

1897
01:32:44,125 --> 01:32:46,861
-[Lawler] I think he is gonna.
-[Cole] The Rock's there. Wait a minute.

1898
01:32:46,928 --> 01:32:49,297
The Big Show just dissed The Rock.

1899
01:32:49,363 --> 01:32:52,133
-[Lawler] What?
-[Cole] I can't believe it.

1900
01:32:52,633 --> 01:32:56,237
The Big Show said he was gonna be
professional about it, King.

1901
01:32:56,304 --> 01:32:57,838
[Lawler] This has gotten really personal.

1902
01:32:57,905 --> 01:33:01,509
-This is more personal than I thought.
-[Cole] Oh. Triple H with a low blow.

1903
01:33:01,576 --> 01:33:03,911
Referee was distracted, never saw it.

1904
01:33:03,978 --> 01:33:05,279
Setting up The Rock now,

1905
01:33:05,346 --> 01:33:08,549
Pedigree time for The Brahma Bull
and it connected.

1906
01:33:08,616 --> 01:33:12,219
And Big Show has left The Rock
high and dry and this one is over.

1907
01:33:12,286 --> 01:33:13,120
[bell ringing]

1908
01:33:13,187 --> 01:33:15,723
[Lawler] You don't call that guy
a big jabroni and get away with it.

1909
01:33:15,790 --> 01:33:19,927
[announcer] Here are your winners,
X-Pac and Triple H.

1910
01:33:19,994 --> 01:33:24,031
[Cole] This is extremely personal
between The Rock and Big Show.

1911
01:33:24,098 --> 01:33:26,867
The Show refused to tag The Rock.

1912
01:33:26,934 --> 01:33:29,103
He pulled his arm away.

1913
01:33:29,170 --> 01:33:34,141
Triple H capitalized, delivering
the Pedigree to The People's Champion.

1914
01:33:35,876 --> 01:33:37,945
Oh, no, look out, Big Show in the ring.

1915
01:33:38,012 --> 01:33:40,081
Rock, Rock, baby,
go in for the right hand.

1916
01:33:41,182 --> 01:33:44,185
The Show about to present
an exclamation point

1917
01:33:44,685 --> 01:33:47,955
to The People's Champion,
chokeslam to The Rock.

1918
01:33:48,889 --> 01:33:51,625
The Big Show had something to prove!

1919
01:33:51,692 --> 01:33:54,128
It's a personal issue with The Rock.

1920
01:33:54,195 --> 01:33:57,498
The Big Show upset that The Rock
called him a jabroni.

1921
01:33:58,265 --> 01:33:59,300
Oh, my!

1922
01:33:59,367 --> 01:34:01,068
What's gonna happen on Raw?

1923
01:34:01,135 --> 01:34:04,038
Will The Big Show and The Rock explode?
him a jabroni.
