-[dramatic theme music playing] -[indistinct chatter]
["Everybody on the Ground" playing]
[cacophonous popping explosions]
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Welcome to the Xtreme!
WWE SmackDown Xtreme!
We come to you from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio!
Michael Cole and "The King" Jerry Lawler at ringside!
King, and a night where Kurt Angle will defend his WWE Title
against The People's Champion, The Rock!
[Lawler] Oh, what a night this is gonna be, Michael!
You got that "X" right! We're gonna get extreme tonight!
[Cole] Also, Rikishi and Haku meet The Undertaker and Kane
in a First Blood Match!
First one to bleed loses!
-[Lawler] Oh, First Blood! -[''Loaded'' playing]
[Cole] But we kick it off with the Tag Titles on the line
in a Tag Team Title Table Match!
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following is a Table Match
and it is for the World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Championship!
Introducing first, the challengers,
making their way to the ring from Cameron, North Carolina,
at a combined weight of 430 pounds,
Matt and Jeff, The Hardy Boyz!
[Cole] Well, King, the high-flying Hardy Boyz
won a Triple Threat Match on Raw this past Monday night,
versus Right to Censor and The APA.
The victory securing this Tag Team Title shot tonight
for The Hardy Boyz.
[Lawler] Oh, but it's not just any Tag Team Title shot,
it's a Table Tag Team Title-- Look out!
-[crowd cheering] -["Ollie Stalefish" playing]
[Lawler] Oh yeah!
[announcer] And their opponents, at a combined weight of 565 pounds,
they are the World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Champions,
Bubba Ray and D-Von, The Dudley Boyz!
[Cole] With table in hand,
The Dudley Boyz head down to the ring to start
the Table Match for the Tag Team Titles on the line.
Two extremely popular teams
going head-to-head on SmackDown Xtreme.
[Lawler] Well, if you get a chance, check out Matt Hardy's eye.
He's sporting a nice shiner, courtesy of these Dudleys
from a big match they had at Madison Square-- There it is!
Madison Square Garden match they had the other night.
[Cole] Yeah. The Dudleys and Hardys along with APA
involved in three-way matchup at Madison Square Garden Saturday night.
-[bell rings] -[Cole] Here we go.
Dudley Boyz and Hardy Boyz,
and the rules of this matchup are simple, King.
First team to put one of their opponents through a table will win.
If the Hardys can do it, they'll become the new Tag Team Champions.
[Lawler] And you can forget about pinfall, disqualifications, count out, you--
-[both] Oh! -You gotta put your opponent
through a table to win this match. Oh yeah!
Hardy Boyz starting off with Poetry in Motion.
Nice neckbreaker by Matt Hardy.
And The Hardy Boyz on a roll early against the Tag Team Champions.
The Dudley Boyz, winning the Tag Team Titles,
King, back at the Royal Rumble
a couple of weeks ago over Edge & Christian.
In fact, they were set to defend the Tag Team Titles
against Edge & Christian on Raw, Monday night, but…
Well, they faced Kai En Tai instead.
-Oh! -Oh no!
-Look at this. -Oh, Dudley Boyz!
The neckbreaker off the backdrop by Bubba Ray Dudley.
-Matt Hardy with the right hand. -Mentioned that match.
Edge & Christian actually outsmarted the Dudleys,
which of course is, uh, not that hard to do really.
[Cole] Oh, look out now. Bubba Ray.
-The slam to Matt Hardy. -Yeah!
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[crowd cheering]
-Are you ready for this? -Oh, I'm ready.
[Lawler] Matt Hardy's not. We're about to get real extreme!
Wassup?!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler laughs]
[cheering continues]
[Lawler] Oh, incoming! Ooh!
[Cole] Crowd at the Nationwide Arena on its feet.
The Dudley Boyz and Hardys, with the Tag Team Titles on the line.
And, King, think about the great matches--
-Wait a minute. -Wait a minute.
[Lawler] This may be over before it's just getting started!
[crowd cheering]
What do you want D-Von to do?
-Get the table! -[Lawler laughs]
[Cole] Bubba Ray commanding D-Von Dudley to get the tables.
This is a Table Match.
You have to put your opponents through the table
in order to win the Tag Team Titles, or in the Dudleys' case,
secure the Tag Team Titles, retain them.
[Lawler] Looks like the Dudleys have the home table advantage here tonight.
[Cole] And this crowd chanting for the tables,
as Matt Hardy cuts D-Von off at the pass.
Bubba Ray continues to set up the wood inside the ring.
Think about the matches, King, these two teams have had in the past,
the Royal Rumble Table Match in the year 2000.
How about the Table, Ladders, and Chairs Match?
I don't wanna think about that. I wanna think about this match,
this extreme Table Tag Match!
[Cole] That Table, Ladders, and Chairs Match,
the match of the year.
And Bubba Ray Dudley set to do in Jeff Hardy,
and if he can do this, King, The Dudley Boyz will win.
But Jeff Hardy, thanks to Matt Hardy with a low blow,
perfectly legal in this type of matchup.
[Lawler] Low blow right to Dudleyville.
-Oh, wait a minute. Here he goes! -Jeff Hardy--
And D-Von moving the table out of the way,
as Jeff Hardy went for the hurricanrana.
[Lawler] Oh man.
[Cole] Wise move by D-Von to move the table.
And Matt Hardy now into the ring, going to work on D-Von Dudley.
[crowd cheering]
Well, what a wild night we expect on SmackDown Xtreme.
Rock and Kurt Angle with the WWE Title on the line.
-You think Rock's ready? -Oh, he's ready all right.
-Look out. Matt Hardy off the ropes! -Oh!
-No table!
Jeff Hardy moving the table out of the way, a wise maneuver.
Watch it. Oh, and Jeff with a dropkick, Bubba Ray through the second rope.
[crowd cheering]
D-Von and Jeff Hardy hammering away on each other.
-Oh. Look out! -[crowd cheering]
-Jeff Hardy knocking D-Von down again. -[Lawler] And check out--
Check out Jeff Hardy's hairstyle tonight. It's even more extreme than usual.
-How many colors is that hair? -What's your problem with his hair, King?
Well, I just-- I'm wondering. You know how some girls are blonde,
but they're not really blonde? I just wonder if Jeff's--
Well, I wonder if the carpet matches the drapes.
[Cole] Oh, look out. Jeff Hardy going up high,
if he connects here, we could have new Tag Team Champions, King.
-[groans] -And Jeff Hardy knocked off the top rope
-by Bubba Ray Dudley. -Right in the carpet.
[Cole] Both teams have had chances, partners have countered.
Oh, look out, Bubba Ray Dudley going up top.
What's Matt Hardy doing?
You can't reach him from there. What?
Matt Hardy put himself-- He put himself through a table!
-Sacrificed himself, King! -What?
Put himself through a table to save this match
and his brother Jeff Hardy!
-The match continues. -Hey, wait a minute.
I get it now!
You have to put your opponent through a table
in order to win the matchup.
-Matt Hardy put himself… -No!
…through a table. And now the ladders are out!
-Oh, this is not a Ladder Match! -[crowd cheering]
Now, that was a pretty smart move on the part of Matt Hardy.
Can you believe he sacrificed himself to save his brother in the matchup?
Looks like he's hurting for it too. Uh-oh, speaking of hurting…
-[Cole] D-Von into the ladder. -[crowd cheering]
Imagine the impact, King.
[Lawler] I think Matt may have some splinters down there.
Oh, Matt, yeah. Get it. Pick it right out of there.
[Cole] What a way to start off SmackDown Xtreme.
Hardy Boyz and Dudley Boyz, Table Match, with the Tag Titles on the line.
-[crowd cheering] -Oh boy. What now?
[Cole] Oh, the Hardys are setting up both tables outside the ring.
One's already been destroyed inside the ring.
-What are they doing, King? -Ha. You got me.
Table for two, I know that.
I guess in SmackDown Xtreme, anything can happen.
The Tag Titles are on the line.
-Oh no! -D-Von Dudley on the table.
-[grunting] -They're setting the table up here.
Now a ladder?
[Cole] Matt Hardy setting up a ladder as well.
[crowd buzzing]
-Oh no. -[crowd cheering]
Matt Hardy climbing the ladder. What in the world?
-D-Von is prone on the table. -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] I don't know. Many questions-- Oh.
[Cole] Bubba Ray knocking Jeff down in the ring. Look out.
Bubba Ray Dudley from behind.
May have saved the Tag Team Title for his team,
at least momentarily.
-[grunting] -D-Von--
He's climbing the ladder as well, King.
[Lawler] Uh-oh, watch out, Matt!
D-Von and Matt Hardy both on the ladder, hammering away at each other.
-[Lawler] Ahh! -Jeff Hardy tossed
at D-Von and Matt Hardy!
And they bounce off the table.
-[grunting] -[Lawler] Wow!
[Cole] Again, King, both Matt Hardy and D-Von
bouncing off the table. This match continues.
[Lawler] The table didn't break. Well, partially broke,
but I guess with both of them hitting it at the same time,
you're right, keep on going.
[Cole] Well, bodies are broken outside of the ring.
Oh! Look at the elevation
on the back body drop to Jeff Hardy.
And Bubba Ray is in control.
[Lawler] That was an extreme back drop, all right.
[Cole] Again, you must use an offensive maneuver, King,
to put your opponent through the table in order to win this matchup.
[Lawler] Look at the height.
I think you can actually hear Jeff Hardy ask for peanuts.
-Oh! -[crowd cheering]
You usually get peanuts when you fly that high.
[Cole] Well, look at the broken bodies of D-Von and Matt Hardy
outside the ring.
Bubba Ray Dudley and Jeff Hardy still standing.
And a right hand delivered to Jeff Hardy. Tag Team Titles are on the line.
-[crowd cheering] -Where in the world are they going?
[Lawler] I don't know, but this is great. I love SmackDown Xtreme. [laughs]
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Oh, look at this. Jeff Hardy bouncing off that steel barricade and…
-Uh-oh, look at Bubba's face. -Bubba Ray Dudley…
-He sees more wood. [laughs] -[crowd cheering]
-He sees double wood. -That's our production tables back there.
-Bubba, we need those. -[crowd cheering]
Oh, look out, King. He's starting to get into that euphoric funk,
that-that trance that he gets into!
And Jeff Hardy, with one of those cable rollers
bouncing off the head of Bubba Ray.
That'll put you in a trance, all right?
-Come on, Bubba Ray! -Well, if this is any indication
how tonight is gonna be, King, it is gonna be a wild ride
on SmackDown Xtreme.
[Lawler] That's what it's all about!
We're gonna see just how extreme we can get here
in World Wrestling Entertainment tonight.
[Cole] Haku and Rikishi in a First Blood Match
against Undertaker and Kane.
World Wrestling Entertainment Title on the line.
Kurt Angle and Rock and--
Where the hell are Bubba Ray and Jeff Hardy going?
I don't know, but you mentioning all those great Superstars that are here,
well, I'll tell you somebody I saw earlier,
The Rattlesnake is here tonight. Oh, look out!
What is Bubba Ray Dudley doing as Jeff Hardy tries to battle back?
Jeff Hardy, trying to escape.
[Lawler] He was about to get tossed off that stage.
[Cole] Bubba Ray Dudley teetering on the edge of the stage.
-That's a ten-foot drop to the floor. -[Lawler wails]
-[Cole] Low blow by Jeff Hardy! -[Lawler] Oh man!
[crowd cheering]
Humpty Dumpty did it again.
[Cole] Jeff Hardy is in control.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -Look out. Bubba Ray!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Look out!
[Cole] Full Nelson Slam through the table!
-[bell rings] -[Lawler] Ha-ha!
-["Ollie Stalefish" playing] -The Dudley Boyz win!
[announcer] Here are your winners and still World Wrestling Entertainment
Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boyz!
[Lawler] Oh my gosh! I'll tell you, Bubba doesn't look like much of a winner to me,
but he-he sacrificed himself to save the Tag Titles!
[Cole] Bubba Ray Dudley, with a full Nelson Slam of Jeff Hardy,
ten feet off that stage through two tables.
[Lawler] A huge Bubba Bomb!
[Cole] D-Von Dudley and Matt Hardy lay prone on the other side of the ring
after their heads bounced off the concrete.
What a wild way, King, to start SmackDown Xtreme.
[Lawler] Hey, guys, how do you like it so far?
Extreme enough for you? Oh man!
[Cole] Jeff Hardy, Bubba Ray Dudley. Jeff trying to struggle to his feet.
The Dudley Boyz retain the Tag Team Titles,
but, King, at what price?
-[groaning] -["Ollie Stalefish" playing]
[Lawler] I don't know. Bubba Ray is in bad, bad shape.
I can hear him screaming from back here.
[Cole] Let's take another look.
First, Jeff Hardy in control with the low blow to Bubba Ray Dudley.
At this point, I thought The Hardy Boyz were gonna pull off a huge victory.
[Lawler] I didn't realize those tables were right underneath there at first,
until I saw this, the huge Bubba Bomb!
-Oh man! -[crowd cheering]
-[bell rings] -Bubba Ray Dudley sacrificing himself
to put Jeff Hardy through a table.
[Lawler] Look at this.
[Cole] The Dudley Boyz retain the tag team gold.
[Lawler] This is like in the Super Bowl. We'll see it from another angle.
-Oh! -[crowd cheering]
-[bell rings] -[Cole] Look how far Bubba Ray Dudley
and Jeff Hardy fell off that stage through the wood below.
-Hey, it's Stone Cold! -[crowd cheering]
There's Stone Cold. He looks like he's in a-- in a terrible mood.
[crowd cheering]
He'll be in a worse mood when he finds out what's happening next!
[Cole] Back on SmackDown Xtreme. And, King, talk about extreme,
The Dudley Boyz, well, retaining their Tag Team Titles
following this offensive maneuver by Bubba Ray Dudley, sacrificing himself.
[Lawler] Huge Bubba bomb.
-[bell rings] -You're right. He won the match.
But watch the damage that was done to both of these-these guys.
Oh my gosh! How far did they fall?
[Cole] They seemed like they were in air for a long time.
[indistinct chatter]
-[groaning] -Where are you hurting the most?
-[groans] -Don't touch it!
-[groaning] -[indistinct chatter]
My God. You guys, that was totally crazy. Are you-- Jeff, are you okay?
-What's wrong with him? -Lita. Lita.
Matt, stop. You guys, that was--
We're big boys. We can take care of ourselves.
Just go worry about winning the Women's Championship.
-We're okay. Just worry about yourself. -Okay. Okay.
-[indistinct] -[groaning] Yeah.
-Where does it hurt the most? -[Jeff coughing]
[Cole] There's "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, King,
watching SmackDown Xtreme, not happy,
stemming from what happen Monday on Raw,
as he was set to sign a contract with Triple H.
[tense music playing]
[McMahon] Tonight is a night of great historical significance.
We shall sign a contract that will bind Triple H
and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
to a matchup to take place on February 25
at No Way Out.
In the interest of fairness, both individuals have agreed
there can be no physical act of aggression whatsoever
of any kind until the match.
The penalty for an act of aggression,
regardless of who starts it, is severe.
For Triple H, six months suspension.
The penalty for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin…
Austin will lose his opportunity
to be World Wrestling Entertainment Champion at WrestleMania.
[Ross] Can you feel the emotion?
Can you feel the tension here?
[McMahon] Both of you have read the contract.
Your attorneys have looked over it. Yours is even in attendance.
Stone Cold, you would sign on the very last page.
[Ross] Well, Austin's locked in. He signed it.
And, Triple H…
[Ross] Wants his barrister to read it.
Those eyes, the tension, you can feel this tension here.
If looks would kill, Austin would be on death row.
-They both would. -Oh, wait a minute. What is this?
They've read the contract, allegedly.
There's obviously something Triple H doesn't like.
-[Ross] Oh, baloney. -[Lawler] Wait a minute, Austin!
[Ross] Austin is losing his patience and I can't blame him.
-He had to read all the small print. -Looks like Triple H has signed it,
so I think it's official now, King.
It's official, ladies and gentlemen. We have our match,
February 25,
Triple H versus "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
-Oh! -Oh! Wait a minute!
-What the…! -What the hell was that?
Triple H with a cheap shot on The Rattlesnake
with that damn metal briefcase!
[Lawler] This is an obvious act of aggression!
What are you doing, Triple H?
What the hell is that son of a-- What is he doing?
Triple H has just blown six months of his career!
Does he hate Austin that much?
-Oh man! -Look at this!
-Oh! -The Pedigree!
My God, The Game has snapped!
[McMahon] Now, you know what?
You've just been suspended for six months, pal!
[Ross] Yeah, pal!
[Triple H] I've not been suspended from anything
because I never signed.
[Lawler] Triple H didn't sign the contract! Look at this!
[Ross] I can't believe this.
[Lawler] He's just now signed it!
[Triple H] Austin 3:16, huh?
Well, paragraph 316 says, pal,
you can't touch me.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh, what a loophole!
[Ross] I can't believe what we have seen. The Game skirted the law.
[Lawler] Is that a-- Is that a smile I see on Vince's face?
[Ross] My God, there'll be so much hell to pay at No Way Out.
[tense music sting]
-[crowd cheering] -Well, King, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
watching what happened again on Raw this past Monday night.
-Triple H… -Uh-oh. Wait a minute.
[crowd cheering]
-Triple H… -Better keep your cool.
…pulling one over on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, King.
And The Rattlesnake does not look like he's in a pleasant mood
after viewing that footage again.
-[crowd cheering] -["It Just Feels Right" playing]
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following is a Triple Threat Match
for the World Wrestling Entertainment Women's Championship.
Introducing one of the challengers, making her way to the ring,
Lita!
[Cole] Well, Lita set for a Triple Threat Match
with the WWE Women's Title on the line, King.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh.
Well, tonight's SmackDown Xtreme
is brought to you by Weider Sports Nutrition!
Get Dynamic Muscle Builder,
packed with protein, carbs, and amino acids
to nourish your muscles.
Get Weider, get results.
[Cole] And by Chef Boyardee.
Overstuff yourself on Thursday nights with Chef Boyardee Overstuffed and WWE.
[Lawler] And by sega.net, the ultimate online SmackDown,
where only the strongest thumbs survive!
Check it out at WWE.com!
[announcer] And the other challenger making her way to the ring, "Jic-queline."
-["Pretty Mean Sister" playing] -[Lawler] It's Jac-- Whoa, Jacqueline!
[Cole] Toughest pound for pound female in the history of WWE, King.
Jacqueline and Lita met on Raw Monday night.
The winner would meet Ivory tonight with the Women's Title on the line.
Well, there was no winner in that matchup,
hence the reason for the Triple Threat Match
here tonight on SmackDown Xtreme.
[Lawler] I know. I was right in the middle of that mess on Raw.
I was-- I was like a King sandwich there for a minute.
[Cole] Well, no love lost between Lita, Jacqueline,
and of course the Women's Champion, Ivory.
[Lawler] Oh no.
[alarm blaring]
[announcer] And making her way to the ring,
she's the World Wrestling Entertainment Women's Champion,
and a member of Right to Censor,
Ivory!
-[Lawler] Yeah. -I wanna welcome all of our fans
watching on UPN here in the States
and of course on The Score in Canada, King.
What a night it's been already.
And still to come, The Rock and Kurt Angle,
one-on-one with the World Wrestling Entertainment Title on the line.
[Lawler] Oh, look at this face. Her face is extreme.
Uh-oh. Extremely ugly. Hey, look at that!
Jacqueline and Lita wasting little time going after the Women's Champion.
-Here we go. -[bell rings]
-That's it, get her! -Triple Threat Matchup.
First pinfall or submission will win this match,
and the champion does not have to be pinned to lose the title,
so the champion at a huge disadvantage.
[Lawler] This is supposed to be every woman for herself,
but I like a little double-team on Ivory.
[Cole] Ivory and Lita, both former Women's Champion.
-Uh-oh. Here we go. -There's the every woman for herself
you were talking about, King. Big right hands from Jacqueline to Lita.
-Knock her pants off if you can. -[crowd cheering]
Hey, do you know that Ivory actually stood out here--
sat out here next to us Monday night and accused JR of having dreams about her?
[Cole] Yeah, I heard that. Wait a minute, of the leg
and almost a three-count before Lita pulls Jacqueline off Ivory.
The only way JR would dream about Ivory is if she were covered in barbecue sauce.
[Cole] I wanna invite all our WWE fans to join us tomorrow night in Raleigh,
WWE live action.
Saturday night, we're in Greensboro, North Carolina, King.
Rock and Undertaker on that big card.
Sunday, Columbia, South Carolina and Columbus, Georgia.
Here's the cover by Lita. Could have a new Women's Champion!
And Jacqueline pulling Lita off Ivory.
King, wanna remind our fans, of course,
Raw Is War coming to you live Monday night from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
It is going to be some event in Atlanta inside the Dome Monday night live on Raw.
-[groans] -Wait a minute.
-Ho-oh! -[groans]
-[grunting] -[crowd cheering]
Lita hitting the Twist of Fate on the champion Ivory,
and Jacqueline hammering away on Lita.
[Lawler] Don't worry about your face, Ivory.
Anything done to it can only be an improvement.
Well, keep in mind, the Women's Champion doesn't have to be pinned to lose this.
Sidewalk slam by Jacqueline, we could have a new champion here.
Hooks the leg, there's two, and Lita kicks out
before the count of three.
[Lawler] Boy, that Lita, I wish she had the hots for me instead of Dean Malenko.
[Cole] You see "Stone Cold" Steve Austin after he reviewed that footage again
from the contract signing Monday night?
The Rattlesnake not too pleased he was duped by Triple H.
-Uh-oh. -A kick to the midsection by Lita.
-Here we go! -Side Russian leg sweep to Jacqueline.
-Do you like tattoos, Michael? -I love tattoos.
-Whoa, baby! -Wait a minute.
-Lita climbing to the top rope, King. -This is SmackDown Xtreme!
-Yahoo! -This could be it. Moonsault!
We have a new Women's Champion! Wait a minute!
-Uh-oh. -Ivory into the ring.
-Uh-oh, watch it. Watch it. Whoa! -Lita tossed through the second rope!
-Oh my God. -Ivory into the cover.
-Hooks the leg and Ivory retains… -[bell rings]
…the Women's Title, thanks to Lita.
-[alarm blaring] -Man oh man!
You all right? Need help?
[announcer] …World Wrestling Entertainment Women's Champion, Ivory!
[Lawler] I think Lita needs a chest massage.
Can you handle this for a minute, Michael?
[Cole] I'll tell you what, King. Lita did the damage,
Ivory, though, picked up the victory, retaining the Women's Title.
And Chyna, Ninth Wonder of the World, watching this somewhere,
has gotta be cringing, watching Ivory retain the title once again.
[Lawler] Lita, if you need CPR, I'm your man.
[crowd cheering]
-I'm also an organ donor. -[crowd cheering]
-And Ivory retains the Women's Title. -[alarm blaring]
[Lawler] Can we see this again? Yeah. The part about…
Lita taking her shirt off, I mean.
-I figured you'd wanna see this again. -Whoa, baby!
-[crowd cheering] -Well, Lita climbing to the top rope
and here's the Moonsault.
And without Ivory's inference, King, Lita would have won the matchup.
-She had it. -Well, the champion,
you got to give her credit.
-She was wise, tossing Lita out of… -Watch. Oh my God.
…out of the ring. And Ivory picks up the victory after Lita did the damage.
[Lawler] Hey, hey, hey, hey!
-It's Triple H! -What the…
Hunter,
what is this?
It reeks of beer in here.
I'll tell you what it is, it's that damn Austin!
Stupid.
-[scoffs] -Can you believe this?
How'd he get in here?
[toilet bowl flushing]
-Hey, Triple H, Steph. What's going on? -[crowd cheering]
What the hell are you doing here?
Just hanging out. I'm not trying to antagonize you at all.
It's like you got a force field. I can't do nothing, right?
That's a load of crap.
You're not gonna get me suspended for six months.
Speaking of crap, I was walking by and my stomach was really rumbling,
so I had to use the facilities.
You used my bathroom?
Yeah. But it's okay 'cause I wiped the rim for my protection.
And it's stopped up and it's kind of leaking everywhere.
-[exclaims] -But when I get around to it,
I'm gonna send you guys a plumber because I'm real busy.
I'll see what I can do 'cause I know that you guys
probably wanna use the bathroom before night's over.
I'll see you around, okay?
It was good seeing you again.
[crowd cheering]
Ugh.
-[growls, grunts] -[thuds]
-[Lawler] Oh my gosh! -Stupid!
-[rock music playing] -And now, the WWE Slam of the Week
presented by Dynamic Muscle Builder from Weider Sports Nutrition.
Get Weider, get results.
Available at GNC.
I am unable to compete tonight,
so allow me to introduce your new title challengers.
-[yells] -[Ross] You got a better chance
of beating Kai En Tai than the Dudleys.
-[Lawler] Ooh! -[Ross] A spear takedown on D-Von Dudley.
-[Lawler] Oh no! -[Ross] 3D!
-What? -Edge & Christian thought
they had screwed the Dudleys out of the Tag Titles.
["You Think You Know Me" playing]
[Cole] Well, King, Edge & Christian's little game
backfired on Raw this past Monday night.
Edge & Christian, we understand, were issued a challenge here tonight,
but we don't know who by.
[Lawler] Well, speaking of backfiring, can you believe that Steve Austin
took a dump in-in…
Stephanie and Triple H's locker room?
-[Cole] Somebody get a golden plunger. -[Lawler] Oh my gosh!
["You Think You Know Me" continues]
Imagine the smell.
He actually sat…
He actually sat on Stephanie's…
Stephanie's mixer.
[Cole] Well, here are the cocky, the conceited,
the arrogant Edge & Christian,
former Tag Team Champions,
who I think were too yellow to meet The Dudley Boyz this past Monday night.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] What you mean by that?
-[Cole] They were scared. -[Lawler] Oh, come on, give me a break.
Edge was sick.
You'll have to forgive us if we're not in the best of moods today.
[Lawler] It's understandable, the way you guys have been treated.
Because we showed up at the arena today
only to find out
that we've been put in one of the toughest matches of our career.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[Cole] Really?
[crowd cheering]
And I know this is SmackDown Xtreme and everything, but come on,
this is ridiculous.
-[Lawler] What kind of… -It's okay, Christian.
Be strong.
First of all, we'd like to thank you for that rousing ovation.
[crowd cheering and booing]
[Lawler] You're welcome.
Unfortunately, it could be the last one we ever hear.
Oh no. What extreme match have they dreamed up for these guys tonight?
[Cole] Stop the pain.
Because tonight, we face the biggest test of our lives.
So we hereby accept the challenge of…
Kai En Tai.
[Lawler] Oh no.
[Cole] Kai En Tai has challenged Edge & Christian.
-["Dojo" playing] -[Lawler] Oh.
[Cole] Well, Kai En Tai was outsmarted Monday, King,
so were Edge & Christian.
Edge & Christian, perhaps, costing Kai En Tai
the Tag Team Titles on Raw Monday.
[Lawler] Oh, be afraid, Edge & Christian. Be very afraid.
[Cole] Edge & Christian trying to help Kai En Tai out, and it backfired.
Fools! Your interference in our match last Monday night
has incurred our wrath.
Normally, you'd face the consequences, but lucky for you,
Funaki has developed a rash that is most painful
and will keep him out of action.
[Lawler] Rash?
Funaki?
[crowd buzzing]
Uh-oh.
Oh no. He's got an extreme rash.
-Indeed. -[crowd cheering]
What does he mean "a rash that will keep him out of action"?
Therefore, because we are evil,
we shall introduce you to your new opponents.
Prepare to die!
[laughs maniacally]
-["Protection" playing] -[Cole] Oh boy.
[Lawler] Hey, wait a minute.
[Cole] Edge & Christian may be getting a taste of their own medicine, King.
[Lawler] Hold the phone. This is not right.
-Wait just a minute. -What do you mean?
Edge & Christian did the same damn thing Monday night on Raw.
Now this is-- This is-- This is evil. This--
["Protection" continues]
[Lawler] Wait a minute!
Edge & Christian look like deer in the headlights. Here we go.
APA versus Edge & Christian,
talk about extreme, and Kai En Tai loving every minute of it.
[Lawler] This extremely reeks of, uh, unawesomeness.
[Cole] Funaki and Taka getting a closer look at,
well, their dirty deed, so to speak,
putting APA in this matchup against Edge & Christian.
[grunts]
And Bradshaw with a big right arm to the back of Christian.
[Lawler] How are Kai En Tai smart enough to think of this?
-[yelling] -[Cole] I'll tell you what,
Edge & Christian in all kinds of trouble, off the suplex by Bradshaw.
Into the cover, there's one, there's two, and a kickout by Christian.
[Lawler] That would be called a legal sack of the quarterback in the XFL.
Oh, what a right hand.
XFL, King, just two days away.
You and JR will be in Orlando on Saturday night.
Of course, XFL, right here on UPN, Sunday afternoon.
Oh, it's gonna be great. It's gonna be extreme football--
-[groans] -Oh, wow!
[Cole] Shot at the face, basically--
And look at Bradshaw with a boot to Edge, and Kai En Tai loving it.
Here's the cover.
Oh, wait a minute.
And Christian,
breaking up the three-count.
[Lawler] Look at this.
[Cole] And now the double-team by Edge & Christian on Bradshaw.
Bradshaw whipped across the ring. Look out.
Christian up on the top rope.
Their own version of Poetry in Motion
and, uh, caught by Bradshaw.
[Lawler] Looks like no fair catches in WWE, as well as the XFL.
[Cole] And there's the Fallaway Slam by Bradshaw on Christian.
Look at Edge climbing to the top rope. What the hell is he gonna do?
-I don't know. -Missile Dropkick knocking Bradshaw down.
[crowd cheering]
Well, King, I wanna remind all our fans in Springfield, Massachusetts,
Reno, Nevada, and El Paso, Texas,
tickets on sale for WWE action this Saturday in--
at the MCI Center in Washington, King.
We sold out for Raw Is War, but I wanna tell you the next night,
tickets are on sale, WWE back-to-back in Washington
at the MCI Center.
[Lawler] Oh, and they're gonna go fast, those tickets,
so you better get your hands on them.
And speaking of getting their hands on them, look at-- look at Bradshaw now.
[Cole] Bradshaw trying to battle back against Edge & Christian,
the former Tag Team Champions.
Edge & Christian thought they were gonna get Kai En Tai in this matchup,
instead, ran into The APA.
Well, Edge in off the tag, King.
And talking about "Stone Cold" playing mind games with Triple H,
keep in mind that zero-tolerance policy, no physicality allowed
between Stone Cold and Triple H before No Way Out
or both men will be punished.
Stone Cold loses his title shot at WrestleMania.
Triple H will be suspended for six months.
Nice takedown by Bradshaw.
It doesn't matter who hits who.
It's a ticking time bomb between Triple H and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
as Kai En Tai tries to urge APA on.
Here's Faarooq in off the tag and what a clothesline to Christian.
The APA is rolling against the former Tag Team Champions.
[Lawler] This is just not right.
Poor Edge & Christian weren't prepared for this!
[Cole] Oh, what a slam by Faarooq,
cover, hooks the leg. Edge breaks up the three-count.
-And Bradshaw into the ring as well. -[groans]
[Lawler] Oh my gosh!
[Cole] Oh man, Edge knocked off the rope right on to our table here.
[Lawler] Oh, look out, Edge. Watch your back.
Bradshaw and Faarooq don't care who they fight.
They just like a good fight.
-[Lawler] Oh man. -And inside the ring, Christian--
Oh, Faarooq was going for the Dominator and a low blow by Christian,
planting Faarooq with a DDT.
There you go.
What's good for the goose is…
-Oh no. -What?
Edge & Christian, the chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment,
with two chairs in hand into the ring.
Faarooq's in trouble. Could be the Con-Chair-To coming.
-Faarooq, do you like stereo? Oh! -And Funaki!
Funaki pushed Faarooq out of the way, but received the Con-Chair-To.
[Lawler] A Japanese stereo. [laughs]
Come on, you little…
[Cole] Funaki sacrificing himself for Faarooq.
[Lawler] What an idiot!
Now look at Faarooq with a spinebuster to Christian.
-The cover, and it's over. -[Lawler] What?
-[bell rings] -The APA defeats Edge & Christian,
thanks to Kai En Tai!
-[announcer] Here are your winners, The Acolytes.
Look at this!
[Cole] A little scalp from Christian on the head of Faarooq.
["Protection" playing] -[crowd cheering]
Well, you know what they say about payback, King?
Look, I know Faarooq's a Seminole from Florida State,
but scalping Christian is ridiculous.
[Cole] You know what they say about payback.
Kai En Tai got some payback and some revenge
on Edge & Christian here tonight.
Who got the last laugh? It sure wasn't Edge & Christian.
And check it out.
[Lawler] Faarooq with that illegal hair transplant.
He was about to get the nice Con-Chair-To, but, no.
-Oh! -[crowd cheering]
Funaki, the idiot, sacrificed himself. And look at this.
-Oh! -[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Bradshaw with a clothesline from hell outside the ring.
And check out the spinebuster with authority by Faarooq.
The APA picks up the win…
-[bell rings] -…over Edge & Christian.
-I-I don't care. -[Cole] Hey…
Please, just shut up.
You've got to understand, I've got problems of my own, okay?
I've got pressures of my own!
I've got an XFL kickoff this Saturday night!
I got SmackDown out there!
I don't wanna hear from your problems! I got problems of my own!
-Mr. McMahon? -What?
Mr. McMahon, you have a very important phone call.
Unless it's Ebersol from NBC, I'm not taking another phone call.
I-it's more of a personal nature. It's…
-[whispering] -[crowd cheering]
Uh, you gentlemen will excuse me for a moment, I'll…
-Sure. -Yes, sir.
…I-I'll be right back. Okay.
Excuse the interruption, gentlemen.
[Lawler] Who could it be?
[dramatic music playing]
[narrator] The time has come.
Brace yourself for the toughest football ever played.
[grunting]
The XFL. Premieres this Saturday.
[Cole] The Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio,
the home of the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets,
King, and tonight, the home of SmackDown Xtreme,
bracing for the WWE Title match,
The Rock versus Kurt Angle tonight!
[Lawler] Oh my gosh. It's gonna really be extreme! -Uh-oh.
I really wasn't doing anything all that important.
I mean, let's face it, what's most important to me is you.
Uh-huh. I feel the same way.
What's the surprise? Okay. Tell me. What's the surprise?
You're here?
-[crowd cheering] -You're here in Columbus, Ohio?
[crowd cheering]
Well, Billy, it seems like Chyna is heeding your advice.
Chyna is as busy outside the ring as she ever was in.
I know. She's just keeping a positive mental attitude.
I mean, look, she's had a heck of a schedule.
I mean, Tuesday morning, she's on Good Morning America.
She's done Extra, Entertainment Tonight. I mean, just as you saw…
Entertainment Tonight, Extra, Good Morning America.
-Who really gives a crap? -Hey!
-I'm sick of hearing about Chyna. -Hold on.
Hey, hold on just a second. Don't come in here--
You get your turn whenever you get your turn.
-Don't come in here-- -I'll take my damn turn now!
-[Cole] Hey! -I'll take my turn.
Nobody tells me to take my--
-And you, first of all… -[Lawler] Uh-oh!
…I've been gone for six months.
I come back since the Royal Rumble,
when have you asked me any questions?
When are you gonna ask me, "Show, what's going on inside your head?"
Well, you wanna know what's going on inside of my head, Coach?
The Big Show is back in town
and that's bad, bad news for everybody,
except me.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh!
[Cole] Did you see the size of The Big Show's hand at Coach's head?
Massive.
-[woman giggling] -[Lawler] Ah!
-[giggling] Mmm. -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Ah!
[giggles]
Well, now would be the perfect time.
Well, because I just slipped out something uncomfortable.
Mm-hmm. [smacks lips]
I'm in a big hot tub.
Mm-hmm.
Of course it's wet in here.
Mmm. I want you to come.
I want you to come down here right now.
Come on. There's plenty of room.
Well, you know what they say,
"You wash my back and I'll wash yours."
[crowd cheering]
Mmm, that's what I thought.
Good. I'll see you soon. Bye.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh!
That's not Dick Ebersol.
[Cole] Who do you think Trish is talking to then?
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Whoo-hoo!
Ah! Ah!
I don't know. I guess… Ah!
I'm telling you, Steph, Austin is already driving me--
Ugh! I don't know if I'm gonna be able to make it to the end of this thing.
Okay, Hunter, just calm down, okay?
Austin doesn't wanna lose his title shot
and you certainly don't wanna be suspended for six months.
Besides, you've got to focus on what you should rightfully be
and that is the WWE Champion.
No kidding. That's what I've been telling everybody.
Yeah, I know. Well, I've got an idea.
I'm gonna go talk to my dad, okay? You stay here.
Focus.
[sighs]
-["Break The Walls Down" playing] -[Cole] Stephanie has got an idea?
[Lawler] It's hard to focus with that stench in there.
[Cole] Hard to focus with Trish in a hot tub.
-[Lawler] Oh! -[crowd cheering]
Man!
Well, he's the Intercontinental Champion, King, "Y2J" Chris Jericho.
-["Break The Walls Down" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Jericho says he's gonna get extremely extreme tonight.
I have no idea what he means by that.
-[Lawler] Did you see Trish? -[Cole] I saw Trish.
[Lawler] In the tub?
[Cole] And do you think that she was talking to, uh, Mr. McMahon?
[Lawler] It was real wet in there. And then…
[Cole] Do you think she was talking to Mr. McMahon?
[Lawler] Those tiny little bubbles were--
They were just about to evaporate and expose her voluptuous…
[Cole] Do you think she was talking to Mr. McMahon?
[Lawler] What if-- What if-- What if she was?
-Well, good for him. -Did you see the whipped cream?
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Oh man.
[Cole] Well, "Y2J" Chris Jericho, the Intercontinental Champion,
what a SmackDown Xtreme it's been so far.
Dudley Boyz winning the Tag Team Table Match,
The Big Show attacking Billy Gunn, Big Show craving attention.
[Lawler] Trish in a tub.
[Cole] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin littering Triple H's office
with beer cans and using the bathroom.
[Lawler] Trish in a tub with whipped cream and those damn bubbles.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Great ovation for Y2J.
So, the word of the night is "extreme."
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Yeah. That's it.
Well, considering that I've been in Steel Cage Matches,
Last Man Standing Matches,
and, hell, even one of the most brutal and violent Ladder Matches
in WWE history,
I would say Y2J knows extreme.
-[Cole] I agree. -[crowd cheering]
So, it's only apropos that tonight,
I am issuing an open extreme challenge
for this Intercontinental Championship
right here, right now on SmackDown!
[crowd cheering]
But who will accept?
Will it be Albert, with his extremely huge cranium?
-[crowd cheering] -[Cole and Lawler laugh]
Or will it be Chris Benoit,
with his extremely brutal gap in his teeth?
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler laughs]
Or will it be Triple H,
with his extremely large schnozzola?
[Lawler] Wow. Are you gonna say…
-[Cole] Wait a minute. -Uh-oh.
[Cole] I think somebody's accepted the challenge, King.
It sounds like the… the street thug from Brooklyn…
-Tazz! -["If You Dare" playing]
Well, he's extreme, we know that.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
["If You Dare" continues]
[Cole] Well, Tazz walking with a purpose.
-[music fades] -[crowd cheering]
You know, Jericho,
there's no doubt that you're an extremely funny guy.
-[Cole] Huh? -But, you see, tonight ain't about fun.
And compared to Tazz,
you know nothing about being "extreme."
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -Well, he may have a point there.
So, I'll tell you what,
I'll take your challenge.
I'll take your title.
Hell, Jericho, I'll take you
and you will be just another victim!
-[Lawler] Wow. -So it's Tazz and "Y2J" Chris Jericho…
[bell rings]
…with the Intercontinental Title on the line.
An open challenge by Y2J.
[Lawler] Well, Y2J out here shouting off all these extreme insults to everybody.
At least Tazz never has an extremely bad hair day
like Y2J seems to be having today.
[Cole] I'll tell you, Tazz may be funny as the co-host of Sunday Night Heat, King,
but, you know, he can flat out perform in the ring.
He's got a bad attitude, a chip on his shoulder.
He could snap at any moment. I mean, I know.
I gotta deal with this guy every Sunday night on Heat.
[Lawler] How was he after the Royal Rumble?
-[Cole] Not in a good mood. -[Lawler laughs]
Doesn't have time to have a cup of coffee, did he?
Now, speaking of Sunday Night Heat, we're back live at WWE New York
this coming Sunday, 7/6 central on MTV.
We invite all our fans in New York City
to come on down, enjoy the show. Tazz will be there.
Jericho off the rope. Maybe Tazz is gonna show up
as the new Intercontinental Champion, King.
That would make life a little more pleasant for you at Heat.
-What a chop by "Y2J" Chris Jericho. -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[Cole] Jericho, a tremendous athlete, going to work on that left arm of Tazz.
Involved in a classic Ladder Match at the Royal Rumble a couple of weeks ago,
Jericho versus Chris Benoit.
That's where Jericho won the Intercontinental Title.
And Tazz going to work on Jericho with those left hands, King.
If you think this is extreme here tonight, wait until Saturday night.
The XFL debuts on NBC. Jesse Ventura is back.
[Lawler] Well, we've been pretty extreme, but we got more extreme to go tonight.
-What about that first-- Oh, Michael! -Suplex by Tazz.
Jericho's head bouncing off the mat. Yeah, it's Rikishi and Haku tonight,
against Undertaker and Kane.
You get your opponent to bleed, you win the matchup,
plain and simple, First Blood.
-[Lawler] That could be real messy. -[Cole] And how about Rock and Kurt Angle?
Perhaps the biggest WWE Championship Match we've ever had here on SmackDown.
-Uh-oh. Look out. -Rock winning the opportunity,
Monday on Raw.
Look at Tazz bouncing off the barricade, almost took out the cameraman.
-[Lawler] Yeah. -[Cole] And Jericho--
Whoa, his chin bouncing off that barricade.
-And Tazz in control right now. -Oh, please.
Now, "Y2J" Chris Jericho bouncing off the…
[Tazz] I'm the next IC Champ!
-Look at him! -[Cole laughs] Okay, great.
Get him out of here.
[grunting]
And Tazz, a blatant blow to the eye of Chris Jericho.
And Tazz is in control, saying, King,
that he's the next Intercontinental Champion.
Thought this was Sunday Night Heat,
he was gonna do a little commentating.
This guy thinks he's funny on Heat,
thinks he's humorous, but he's got a bad attitude.
Looks aren't everything, right?
[Cole] He has a bad attitude, I'll tell you that.
This guy is mean, can snap at any moment.
I wouldn't wanna meet him in a back alley.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] He'll suplex you at a drop of the hat too.
[Cole] Tazz in control of "Y2J" Chris Jericho.
I wanna remind our fans, King, tickets on sale this coming Saturday
in Toronto, Montreal, Albany, New York, and Providence, Rhode Island.
Big WWE live action in those four cities. Tickets on sale Saturday.
Toronto and Montreal, that's… that's Canada, isn't it?
-That's right. -Oh boy.
[Cole] And we are being viewed
by all our great fans in Canada tonight on The Score.
SmackDown Xtreme hasn't disappointed.
There's still plenty more to come, as this crowd comes to its feet
for Y2J Chris Jericho.
Intercontinental Championship on the line
in an open challenge made by Jericho, accepted by Tazz.
-[Lawler] I tell you what, that Tazz-- -Oh, look out!
Jericho rolls up. Tazz may have him--
No, and a kickout after two.
Oh, and what a clothesline by Tazz.
[Lawler] Tazz may be one of the only guys I know
that watches Three Stooges' movies and takes notes.
Have you seen how many times he's gouged Jericho in the eyes?
And look at Jericho.
Oh, look out.
Oh, an enzuigiri to the back of Tazz's head.
Triple H not pleased
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin playing mind games.
And keep in mind that zero-tolerance rule that's been laid out
for that big matchup before No Way Out.
-Look out! -Look at that clothesline again.
Oh man.
Tazz in a bad-- I mean, why shouldn't Triple H be in a bad mood?
I'll tell you how you can probably, uh, get a few points with Triple H.
-How? -Take him a can of Glade.
That's true too. Look out.
Jericho knocking Tazz down, hook of the leg, cover,
there's two, and a kickout by Tazz.
You know, zero-tolerance, King, means that Triple H and Austin
can't touch each other before No Way Out.
If they do, Triple H is suspended for six months,
Stone Cold loses his title shot at WrestleMania.
It doesn't matter who hits who, both will be punished.
And look out, the Tazmission locked in.
-Low blow by Jericho. -[crowd cheering]
-What about that, ref? That's cheating. -Oh!
-Oh man! -Bulldog by "Y2J" Chris Jericho.
-Uh-oh, look out. -Lionsault, second rope.
Crash to Tazz, hooks the leg.
It could be it. It's over!
[bell rings]
Jericho retains the Intercontinental Title.
[announcer] Here is your winner and still World Wrestling Entertainment
Intercontinental Champion, Chris Jericho.
[Cole] Tremendous effort by Jericho and also by Tazz.
Tazz gave the Intercontinental Champion a run for his money, King.
[Lawler] Wait a minute. Of course. What about that low blow though?
I mean, let's face it.
-Wait a minute. -Y2J, are you proud of that? Uh-oh.
[Cole] Where's Mr. McMahon going?
Oh, now come on. Open the door. I'm in a hurry.
Hey, wake up, damn it! Open the door!
Where's my driver?
My driver.
Dad! Dad, where are you going?
What do you mean, where am I going?
I've got something very important to do, okay? Something's come up.
Dad, you've never left in the middle of SmackDown or Raw
or any other-- any other show.
I know. I know, but this is important to me. Okay?
Not to worry though. I'll be back later tonight.
-Okay? -Okay. Well, listen.
I've got a great idea about something that's really important to me
and Triple H.
Why not put Triple H in the WWE Championship Match tonight?
What? What do you mean?
We'll make it a Triple Threat.
It will be The Rock versus Kurt Angle versus Triple H.
Um…
And Austin is not involved anywhere? You're staying away from Stone Cold?
Staying away from Stone Cold.
-You got it. Okay. I got to go. -Dad.
-[Cole] What? -[Lawler] Look at this.
He's gonna drive his own car.
Something's come up. It's about to.
-[Lawler] This is extreme! -[Steph] Are you okay?
[engine starts]
[Cole] Look at the hurry Mr. McMahon's in, King.
[Lawler] Well, he said something's come up.
And when something comes up, you got to take care of business.
[Cole] You don't think he's run off to take a bath, do you?
-Look out! Clear the streets. -[screeching]
Mr. McMahon is on the way!
[narrator] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rattlesnake,
Vince McMahon, owner of World Wrestling Entertainment,
in a clash of epic proportions,
a rivalry for the ages, Austin versus McMahon.
Witness one of the greatest confrontations in the history of sports entertainment.
This expanded pay-per-view edition
is loaded with exclusive never-before-seen footage.
The WWE Fanatic Series, bringing you the best of WWE on pay-per-view.
Austin versus McMahon is featured this month only on pay-per-view.
-["Too Much Mustard" playing] -Well, King, Mr. McMahon just agreed
to Triple H, Rock, and Kurt Angle in a Triple Threat Match
for the WWE Title tonight, but…
[Lawler] Hey, what's this?
[Cole] It-it's The Kat, King.
[Lawler] All right! Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
Whoa!
[Cole] What else is gonna happen on SmackDown Xtreme tonight?
[Lawler] Oh my gosh!
[Cole] Now, you know how Mr. McMahon feels, huh?
[Lawler] Yeah, something's coming up for me, Michael! I got to go.
-Ah! -[crowd cheering]
You know, everyone's making such a big deal about SmackDown Xtreme.
[Lawler] Oh yeah, it's getting real extreme now.
We've got First Blood Matches.
-[Lawler] Yeah. -We've got Table Matches.
[Lawler] Uh-huh.
But, you know, there are other ways
of taking things to the limit.
-[Lawler] Huh? -[Cole] What?
-[Lawler] Whoa, wait a minute. -[crowd cheering]
There are other ways to be extreme.
[Lawler] Yeah. And there would be, uh…
Other ways that can be just as exciting.
[Lawler] Uh-huh. What's she talking about, Michael?
Just as hardcore.
[Lawler] Yeah.
And just as exhilarating.
[Lawler] Oh, come on. Don't tease us.
And that's where I come in.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Oh, here comes The Kat.
[Cole] I can only imagine.
Because everyone knows
there isn't anything I wouldn't do to get a rise out of the fans.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Yeah!
Oh yeah, you're getting a rise out of me right now!
It just so happens that I excel and take great pleasure in it.
[Lawler] Oh, Michael, you don't-- You don't think--
-You don't think she's gonna… -I know what turns men on.
-[Lawler] You do? Ah! -[crowd cheering]
And I know what men want to see.
[Lawler] Oh. Michael, do you think she's gonna show us?
-[crowd cheering] -[Cole] I hope.
And seeing as how tonight is about being extreme…
[Lawler] Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
…I plan on taking extreme to a whole new level.
-[Lawler] Oh my gosh! What's she gonna do? -[crowd cheering]
I plan on giving you and everyone at home
exactly what you're dying for.
-[Lawler] What's that? What is it? -[cheering continues]
-[Cole] You have to ask? -Full frontal nudity.
-[Cole] Oh boy! -[crowd cheering]
Hit the music.
-[Lawler] Full frontal nudity? -["Too Much Mustard" playing]
Michael, full frontal nudity!
Ah!
Oh my gosh! There goes the shoe!
I'm okay! I'm okay!
[Cole] Are you okay?
-["Too Much Mustard" continues] -[Lawler] Oh!
-[Cole] Oh no. -[Lawler] Michael, you know, uh,
I don't think she wears underwear!
Wait a minute!
[Cole] Oh boy!
-[Lawler] Whoo-hoo! -She doesn't wear much underwear.
[Lawler] Come on!
[exclaims]
Michael, here goes the top!
-[Cole] Oh no. -[Lawler] Full frontal nudity!
Give it to us, Kat! Give it to--
-[alarm blaring] -[Cole] Oh no, give me a break!
-[Lawler] What? -[alarm blaring]
-[Cole] These idiots. -[Lawler] What is this?
[Cole] Stop the pain, I'm begging you.
-[Lawler] What are they doing? -Move!
-[Cole] Right to Censor.
Get her out!
Out of here, out of here!
[Lawler] I can't believe this!
We had a chance to see full frontal…
What is wrong with you people?
[Lawler] What is wrong with you, you idiot?
What is wrong with you?
[Cole] Look at him. He's out of control.
He's having a seizure.
There are children in this audience!
[crowd jeering]
[Lawler] Get him out of there.
I used to blame World Wrestling Entertainment
for its depraved behavior.
But no longer will I let all of you hide behind your ignorance.
[Cole] What right does he have to tell us that?
[Lawler] I hate him.
[crowd jeering]
Don't you people realize that we're only trying to help you?
[Lawler] Help us? Can you imagine what we'd be seeing right now, Michael,
if it wasn't for old white socks?
[Cole] I'm imagining.
The Right to Censor blames each and every one of you!
[Cole] How appropriate to have an extremist on SmackDown Xtreme, King.
[Lawler] Oh.
I'd like to get my hands around his throat.
Well…
[crowd chanting] You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck!
[Lawler] Yeah, tell him!
[Cole] Oh, freedom of expression from WWE fans.
[crowd chanting] You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck!
Well, my good people,
if you want extreme,
we will show you extreme
and it will be…
for your own good.
[alarm blaring]
[Cole] For our own good. Give me a break.
-[Lawler] What's this idiot talking about? -King, I'll tell you what,
Steven Richards and Right to Censor ruining the moment again.
-And you know what… -Ruining the moment?
You think our fans out there who wanna be a WWE Superstar
would wanna have the opportunity to get in the ring
and kick Steven Richards' butt?
Oh, absolutely.
Well, they have the opportunity to do that,
if you're tough enough.
Check out some of the applicants for Tough Enough.
Do I wanna be a World Wrestling Entertainment Superstar?
The reason why I wanna be a WWE Superstar…
I am the real deal.
You don't wanna know what The Wolf Man can do to you.
[howling]
I want to be a WWE Superstar
because I feel that I have the ability to entertain people
and because I love entertaining people.
I would like to become a WWE Superstar because I love wrestling
and I would like to entertain people.
And I should be in World Wrestling Entertainment,
not only because it's my dream,
but because Katarina, well,
she's the best girl in the business today.
She is.
So, if you don't think I can make it to the WWE roster,
you're kidding yourself
because no Superstar would ever be like me.
[rock music playing]
[Lawler] Well, there they are.
Those are just a few of the applicants and you could be one too.
You could have a chance to win yourself a career right here in WWE.
[Cole] Response has been overwhelming.
We received such a huge volume of tapes, King,
we're extending the deadline until February 10th, a week from Saturday.
We wanna view all the tapes from all over the world.
And the sooner you get your tapes in,
the better your chances they'll be viewed for Tough Enough.
[crowd cheering]
Rock, we learned just moments ago
that your World Wrestling Entertainment Championship opportunity tonight
against Kurt Angle now is changed to a Triple Threat Match
with the inclusion of Triple H.
[crowd cheering]
[chanting] Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
Finally, The Rock has come back to Columbus!
[crowd cheering]
You know, The Rock has seen the show tonight.
He knows what's going on.
Triple H, you hit the jackpot
when you married Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.
You pulled the handle, got a joker's wild
on the fastest, loosest [bleep] machine the world has ever seen.
[crowd cheering]
So, Triple H, just like that,
you got yourself a title shot,
an unearned title shot.
The Rock's title shot.
Well, let The Rock clue you in on something.
For the past two years, The Rock has been the main event at WrestleMania.
In order to do that again, The Rock has gotta win the WWE Championship
and that's exactly what The Rock is gonna do.
So, Triple H, don't worry 'cause The Rock will take care of you in the ring,
just like he always takes care of you in the ring.
And as far as for you, Kurt Angle,
The Rock says he wants you to go down to the local arcade,
get in one of those little picture booths,
take as many pictures as you can with your WWE Title,
tape them all together,
tie them around your waist like a little belt
because after The Rock takes your WWE Title,
you're gonna need something to hold up your pants,
so they don't expose that pimply, pale, hemorrhoid…
Don't get excited. The Rock said "hemorrhoid" not "hermaphrodite."
…that pimply, pale, hemorrhoided, all-American, candy ass!
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
Kurt Angle, Triple H,
The Rock says just bring it.
Just bring it.
-If you smell what The Rock is cooking… -[crowd cheering]
["Know Your Role" playing]
[Cole] Tonight, King, it's Rock, Kurt Angle, Triple H,
a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Title!
[heavy rock music playing]
[narrator] The time has come.
Brace yourself for the toughest football ever played.
[grunting]
The XFL. Premieres this Saturday.
[Cole] Back on SmackDown Xtreme.
And, King, Stone Cold's still here and he's still drinking beer.
-Is he still using the bathroom? -Still drinking beer.
[Lawler] Oh, I thought he was on the toilet again.
[Cole] He used Triple H and Stephanie's bathroom earlier on, but…
-Now what's he doing? -[chuckling]
-Wait a minute. Is he laughing? -You're not supposed to shake beer up.
-He should know that. -[loud thud]
-What's he gonna do? -[Cole] I have no idea.
-["Big" playing] -Who knows?
It's been extreme on SmackDown Xtreme.
Well, King, this next matchup was wedged in by "The One" Billy Gunn
because of what happened earlier tonight.
Big Show, 7'2", 500 pounds,
decided he wanted to interrupt an interview
Coach was doing with "The One" Billy Gunn.
Hey, hold on a sec. Don't come in here--
You'll get your turn whenever you get your turn.
-Don't come in here-- -I'll take my damn turn now!
I'll take my turn. Nobody tells me to take my-- And you--
[Cole] Well, King, The Big Show, with a huge chip on his shoulder,
upset that no one's tried to interview him since his return.
Looks like he's craving attention.
Why don't you go up there and stick a microphone in his face right now?
[Cole] No, thank you.
Big Show keeps destroying people…
[Lawler] Come on, Michael, do one of those ambush interviews.
[Cole] Yeah right. If Big Show keeps destroying people at this rate,
he's gonna get that attention he's craving so much.
["I've Got It All" playing]
Well, how wise was "The One" Billy Gunn to request this matchup?
He's brave, I'll tell you that.
-Yeah, more bravery than brains. -[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 200--
Billy Gunn, wasting little time going into the ring and…
Oh, wow, right through the legs.
Billy Gunn's gonna have to use quickness
if he's gonna defeat the 7'2" 500-pound Big Show,
who made an immediate impact
on his return two weeks ago, King, at the Royal Rumble.
Well, just take a look at this. Now, Billy Gunn is 6'5" tall,
weighs 270 pounds and he looks--
looks like a lightweight in there with The Big Show.
Well, you know, our broadcast colleague, Coach, is no small individual either,
King, and Big Show's hand wrapped around Coach's head like a melon.
Oh! Look at the elbow delivered to the sternum of "The One" Billy Gunn.
You have to believe Billy Gunn's mind has been elsewhere, King…
-Oh, look out. -…at least over the past couple of weeks,
with his good friend Chyna, of course, suffering from that neck injury.
[Lawler] Look at this, like palming a basketball.
[Cole] Billy Gunn telling Chyna to, basically, get away from it all.
Do your personal appearances to promote your book.
[Lawler] Big Show is still up. Huge dropkick from Billy Gunn,
who has one of the best dropkicks in the business.
[Cole] Oh, what a slam, what strength by The Big Show.
Yeah, that dropkick failed to knock the show off his feet, King.
-You got that right. Oh. -And look at Big Show, with one hand,
lifting Billy Gunn off the mat and slamming him into the corner.
-Let's go! -[Lawler] It looked like--
I don't know if he just lifted him up or is that some sort of claw hold or what?
Oh man! Big Show with the elbow to "The One" Billy Gunn,
who requested this matchup earlier on tonight.
Imagine Big Show in the XFL.
He could be the whole right side of the line.
[Cole] The entire line.
XFL, two days away, debuts on NBC Saturday, King,
and of course, right here on UPN Sunday afternoon.
-But-- -I just hope that JR doesn't wear…
-Oh! -…that stupid hat on NBC in the XFL.
And you're gonna wear the crown, right?
-[indistinct] -That's right.
Big Show, with a shot to the ribs of "The One" Billy Gunn.
You know, Mr. McMahon has agreed to make the title match tonight, King,
a Triple Threat Match.
Triple H weaseling his way in into the title match
with The Rock and Kurt Angle here tonight.
You know, Mr. McMahon, he was in such a hurry,
he would have had agreed to put me into the title match.
[Lawler] Wow. That's some scary strength right there.
What are you saying, that Mr. McMahon wasn't thinking straight?
Well, he drove his own limo outta here. He was in a hurry to get somewhere.
-Perhaps he wanted to take a bubble bath. -[yells]
He wasn't driving that car, he was aiming it.
But that was another first on SmackDown Xtreme,
Mr. McMahon actually driving his own limo.
[Cole] I understand Mr. McMahon's a big fan of Mr. Bubble.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Wait a minute.
-This has been an unbelievable display… -Oh no, wait!
-…of power, King. -You'll crush his ribs!
[Cole] That's 500 pounds onto the midsection of Billy Gunn.
That'll make you tap out right there.
[Cole] You think Big Show even knows how strong he is?
-I mean, it's scary. -No. No, he has no idea.
The elbow driving Billy Gunn to the mat.
Come on, Billy Gunn!
I think he really doesn't even realize how good he's gonna be here
someday either.
Did you see the elevation when he chokeslammed The Rock
on Raw Monday night?
He must have had The Rock ten feet in the air
before chokeslamming him into the mat.
-[grunts] -[groans]
And a knee, 500 pounds, crashing down,
deadweight to "The One" Billy Gunn.
Come on up here!
[Cole] If Billy's not careful, he's gonna join his friend Chyna in rehab, King.
Oh man.
That shot by that huge right hand of The Big Show.
Come on up!
-[Cole] Billy Gunn will not quit. -Come on up!
He's still trying to crawl to his feet as Big Show knocks him down again.
All the grit, the courage, and the fight in Billy Gunn,
but Big Show in control. Coming up next, King…
Well, that courage and fight is being quickly knocked out of Billy Gunn.
-[grunting] -Coming up next--
Oh, big headbutt. First Blood Matchup,
Undertaker and Kane against Rikishi and Haku.
And who the hell knows what's gonna happen in that match?
[Lawler] Well, I know one thing, somebody's gonna bleed.
Somebody's gonna see their own blood in that match.
-Not a pretty sight, is it? -Not a pretty thought.
[Cole] Not at all. The biggest man in the history of WWE, King,
The Big Show is torturing "The One" Billy Gunn.
[crowd cheering]
A scary display by 7'2",
500 pounds of The Big Show.
[Lawler] Right. And he's just-- I mean, he's just manhandling him.
And I mean, Billy Gunn is one of the best athletes in WWE.
He's a-- He's a title contender.
-And look at the job that… -[indistinct yelling]
…Big Show is doing on him.
And Big Show just continuing to assault Billy,
who continues to get to his feet.
Well, at least you can say there's no quit in Billy Gunn.
Oh, look at the strength of The Big Show, Billy Gunn on the shoulder.
Billy trying to battle back with a right hand for The Show.
-That's all he could do. -The Show's in trouble.
Billy Gunn hanging on for dear life.
-Rake the eyes too-- Oh no. -Oh, walked right into The Big Show,
and that massive sidewalk slam.
-[referee speaks indistinctly] -[Lawler] That's it.
[Cole] How do you have a game plan, King, against a guy like The Big Show?
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Well, you try to figure out how to stop a bus
or a Mack truck or something, I guess.
-Oh, look out. Big Show! -There you go.
Trying to drive the elbow into "The One" Billy Gunn.
-Billy moves out of the way. -That's a game plan.
You wait for The Big Show to make a mistake
then you got to capitalize on it, Billy.
[Cole] But how much does Billy Gunn have left?
He only has one opportunity. He's going…
-There you go. -Oh, driving Big Show into the mat.
Could have him here!
Cover, two, and Big Show kicks out with authority.
[crowd cheering]
Man, 270 pounds-- Uh-oh, he's gonna go for the Famouser.
-Setting him up for the Famouser… -Oh no!
…but he walked into the right hand of The Big Show.
Oh no.
-Look at this! -Frequent flier miles for Billy Gunn.
What strength, as Big Show plants The One.
-It's over. -[bell rings]
-["Big" playing] -A scary, scary display.
Awesome power by The Big Show.
[announcer] Here is your winner, The Big Show.
[Lawler] Man, oh man. "The One" Billy Gunn
slammed to the mat with only one arm of The Big Show.
Well, King, I made the comment earlier on that Big Show is craving attention.
If he keeps destroying people like this with these chokeslams,
he's gonna get all the attention he wants and then some.
[Lawler] Well, you got to hand it to Billy Gunn
for even-even hanging in there and making the challenge to The Big Show.
I know the plan, Steph. I can feel it.
-It's all gonna come together. -[knock on door]
-Come in. -The WWE Championship.
Triple H. Hey, Steph.
Hey, hey, no hard feelings, man.
I'm sorry about clogging up the crapper earlier.
You know, no big deal. I know you got a Championship Match.
I just wanna come here, you know, wish you good luck, maybe drink a beer with you.
You don't want the beer.
Well, you don't mind if I drink a beer, right?
I mean, I don't mind drinking beer if you got the match.
[bleep]
-Triple-- Hey. Man, I'm sorry. -[growls]
-[grunts] -Hunter, Hunter, no, no, no!
I'm just gonna leave. You got a big match, man.
I ain't no good today. I'm sorry, Triple H.
God!
[grunts]
Kurt, your match with The Rock has now been made
into a Triple Threat Match against The Rock and Triple H.
What was your initial reaction when you got the news?
Oh, I was expecting it.
I wasn't surprised at all.
In fact, I thought, "Why stop there?"
"Why not add The Big Show or Chris Jericho
or the whole the state of Nebraska for that matter?"
And don't you think a wrestling ring is a little old-school, Lilian?
Why not put the match in a shark tank with real, live sharks, hungry sharks?
And the only way to beat your opponent is to stuff them down a shark's throat
and pin the shark.
Wouldn't that be a hoot? Ha.
But the way I see it, nothing would surprise me
because it's quite obvious that WWE,
and it's mostly ignorant fans,
will stop at nothing to see me lose this title.
But guess what, Lilian?
When it's all over with, The Rock, "The Brahma Bull," "The Great One,"
and Triple H, "The Game,"
will be leaving this arena
just like the people who came to see them,
depressed, disappointed,
and most of all, losers.
-And that is true. -[crowd cheering]
-["Everybody on the Ground" playing] -Sounds like Kurt Angle's ready
for that big Triple Threat Match for his title tonight.
Well, I tell you, King, coming up next, the first ever First Blood Match
here on SmackDown, Undertaker and Kane against Rikishi and Haku.
What about Kane making a name for himself in the Royal Rumble two weeks ago?
You know, he entered at number five,
he eliminated one-third of the 30 competitors in that matchup,
and lasted over an hour, The Big Red Machine, Kane.
-I mean, Kane was unbelievable. -Absolutely.
Kane is scary. He's gonna be scary in this match.
Do you think he's ever seen his own blood?
Well, let's take a look back and show you Kane's dominance from the Royal Rumble.
[flames roaring]
[Ross] Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God.
This man is seven feet tall and 330 pounds.
The Big Red Machine wants to win the Royal Rumble.
Kane is so dominant.
The Big Red Machine is a carnivore.
[Lawler] All these guys are just trying to get Kane.
They can't even get him off his feet.
Even these three men couldn't get Kane over the top rope in this rumble.
Oh, Grandmaster…
-Whoa! -…knocked over the top by Kane.
Kane eliminates Al Snow.
-[Lawler] Oh, Raven! -Oh, what a shot! Raven, bye-bye!
-[Lawler] Oh, look out, Steve! -And there goes Steve Blackman.
The Big Red Machine is going crazy here.
The Honky Tonk Man is gone, thanks to Kane.
Kane has been so dominant,
they need to team up and get Kane out of there somehow.
[Ross] Five men are trying to get Kane out and Kane is fighting all five of them off!
Kane is approaching one hour in this hellacious match.
-Hey! -Oh! Oh, Kane eliminated The Rock!
-The Rock is out! -But Austin is on the apron!
[Lawler] The Rock is out!
You got to admit, Kane is the most dominant man
you've ever seen in the Royal Rumble.
[rock music playing]
Kane, Undertaker, here tonight on SmackDown Xtreme,
the match you asked for Monday night on Raw, First Blood.
You know, it's funny you had mentioned Monday night because Monday night
people seen a side of the Deadman they ain't seen in a while, have they?
It's a side most people don't wanna see again.
You know, I don't know if it was the taste of my own blood
reminding me of something I used to be
or whether it was a simple fact Kane just flat out told me.
He says, "Man, you gotta get back to doing what you do best."
And you know what that is?
-That's kicking people's ass. -[crowd cheering]
Well, tonight, believe me, Kevin Kelly, it's on.
Haku, Rikishi,
it's First Blood, my island brothers.
And you know what that means?
It means, no strategy, no holds, no pinfalls, uh-uh.
That don't mean a thing.
It's all about the blood
and them two laying in a puddle of their own blood,
looking up at us
and realizing that Kane and The Undertaker,
they do run the yard.
Kane, why have you been siding with your brother?
Because…
blood's thicker than water.
[crowd cheering]
You know, if I was you, I wouldn't [bleep] him off.
-["Everybody On The Ground" playing] -[indistinct yelling]
[Cole] Well, King, Rikishi and Haku heading into hell,
SmackDown's first ever First Blood Match coming up next!
-[bell tolls] -[crowd cheering]
[footsteps tapping]
♪ Deadman walking ♪
-[explosion] -["Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" playing]
♪ Keep rollin', rollin' Rollin', rollin' ♪
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Tremendous ovation for the brothers, Undertaker and Kane,
heading in to the first ever
First Blood Match on SmackDown Xtreme!
[Lawler] And these guys are an extremely imposing sight,
aren't they, Michael?
[Cole] They're the most extreme brothers
in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment, King.
Undertaker busted open on Raw Monday night by Rikishi and Haku.
Taking the challenge, Undertaker and Kane being led to the ring.
"Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit.
-And, King… -[Lawler] Let's not forget
that Kane may not be completely a hundred percent tonight either.
You know, he's got those injuries to his ribs,
but these guys want this match nonetheless.
King, if they're not a hundred percent, they better reach down some place.
They'll never survive tonight against Rikishi and Haku.
["Bad Man" playing]
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following is a First Blood Match.
Making their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 769 pounds,
Haku and Rikishi.
[Cole] No fear from Rikishi and Haku taking The Undertaker's challenge.
-Wasting little time. -They're gonna get it on!
Here we go, our First Blood matchup!
-[crowd cheering] -King, no pinfalls, no submissions.
-Rules are simple. If you bleed… -[bell rings]
…your team loses.
And I have to believe The Undertaker and Kane, King,
at a-a very extreme disadvantage.
Undertaker was busted open on the forehead Monday night on Raw,
so that forehead, that cut can't be healed.
Kane, of course, with those injured ribs.
-Oh, what a shot by Kane to Rikishi. -And you talk about
The Undertaker being busted open-- Look out!
[Cole] Rikishi off the table.
Oh, and Undertaker with a right hand as well.
Watch it, Michael.
It's ping-pong ball Rikishi, between Kane and The Undertaker.
[Lawler] They're trying their best to bust him open.
-Oh man. -[Cole] First to bleed loses,
and Undertaker and Kane are hoping to win this one in a fast manner.
[Lawler] Time to go, Michael. Let's go.
[Cole] Oh, look out, Undertaker, steel chair in hand.
Haku from behind to Kane.
-[grunts] -Come on, Undertaker.
-[Lawler] Oh my gosh, take a look at this. -[grunting]
Oh, wow. What a shot by Rikishi to The Undertaker.
[Cole] Oh, look out now, Undertaker bouncing off the announce table.
The other night, when The Undertaker was busted open,
he refused stitches. That may not have been a smart move.
That may come back to haunt him. Look out!
[Cole] Undertaker bouncing off the announce table again.
[Lawler] You and I might get bloody out here.
[Cole] Rikishi is in control.
[Lawler] You don't know what it's like to be--
To have blood running down your head, on your face--
Well, you did get that zit popped one time, but…
[Cole] Did you see The Undertaker checking his forehead
to make sure he wasn't busted open by Rikishi?
Rikishi and Undertaker in the ring, Haku and Kane outside the ring.
There are no rules in this matchup.
-You bleed, you lose. Plain and simple. -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] I bet The Undertaker is wishing now he had had stitches.
[Cole] What a night on SmackDown Xtreme. And, King, we ain't done yet.
Still to come, Triple H, The Rock, Kurt Angle,
a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Title.
[indistinct shouting]
[Lawler] Kane has rammed Haku's head into the-- the edge of that ring.
So many-- Oh, here we go, some old-school Undertaker.
-[crowd cheering] -[Cole] This is vintage Undertaker,
balancing on the top rope.
-Rikishi in trouble. -[crowd cheering]
Meanwhile, outside the ring, Kane and Haku going at it.
-Not us, again. What did we do? -And now Haku
off the announce table again.
Kane doing all he can to bust Haku wide open.
Come on, guys.
[Lawler] They're all over us here. Michael, do something.
[Cole] Do what? What do you want me to do?
[Lawler] Uh, sacrifice yourself.
[Cole] Undertaker with a right hand to Rikishi.
Kane and Haku in the ring,
-Rikishi off the steel steps. -[Lawler] Oh, watch those steps.
Taker looking for the blood. Not yet.
Again, head bouncing off the steps again, King.
[Lawler] Oh, this is gruesome and definitely extreme.
-[grunts] -No, no blood yet.
[Cole] Did you see the look in The Undertaker's eyes
on Raw this past Monday night?
Oh, what a clothesline by Kane.
After he was busted open,
after The Undertaker tasted his own blood at the hands of Rikishi and Haku.
And I've seen a look of disappointment on the face of The Undertaker
every time he rams Rikishi's head into those steel steps and there's no blood.
Well, that's about five times.
Undertaker over here to grab a steel chair.
-Oh. -Not me.
Boy, grab-- Grab Michael Cole by the ankles.
[Cole] Oh, and Rikishi cutting Undertaker off at the pass.
-And Rikishi… -Watch it here.
…with a kick to the face!
Man, that boot bouncing off the chin of The Undertaker.
And now Rikishi, that animal, the fiery look in his eyes.
-Steel chair in hand. -[Lawler] Oh, look out!
-Whoa! -Crashing the chair across the back
of The Undertaker.
And Undertaker is down.
Kane, boot to Haku, in the ring.
Well, The Undertaker's spine… And, you know, you don't have--
[Cole] Wait a minute! Kane straight off the apron!
Knocking Rikishi down, coming to his brother's aid.
[Cole] Kane and The Undertaker, each have their own goals and aspirations, King.
[Lawler] Oh no, he's going for his head. Look out-- Oh!
[Cole] But if you jump on one, you get the other.
And that's what's going on with Undertaker and Kane coming together,
a common bond against this alliance of animals, Haku and Rikishi.
-Oh! -Oh, what a kick by Haku to Kane.
[man] Hell yeah!
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[Cole] I'll tell you, King, these…
Rikishi and Haku are the two of the toughest individuals
in World Wrestling Entertainment today.
And there's that steel chair to those previously injured ribs of Kane.
Oh, Rikishi-- Look out, King! Steel chair to The Undertaker.
Steel chair and Undertaker checking to see if he's been busted open
by that steel chair of Rikishi.
-[Haku] Hurry up. Come on. -[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Kane suffering those injured ribs after being assaulted by Rikishi and Haku
last Thursday night on SmackDown.
-And look at Haku… -[groans]
-[Lawler] Man. -…unleashing on Kane.
Undertaker still down outside the ring.
[Lawler] I can't believe what I'm seeing. I don't think--
I'll be honest with you. I didn't expect this to happen.
I didn't expect to see Kane and The Undertaker,
the way they looked coming out here, I didn't expect to see them
being dominated like this. Oh my gosh!
-Look out! Oh! -[groans]
Rikishi just backed it up right into Kane's ribs.
-Look at The Undertaker. -The Undertaker unloading.
[crowd cheering]
-Deadman walking. -Deadman means business.
-[crowd cheering] -[man] Look out!
[Cole] Steel chair on Haku!
Bending the chair over the head of Haku!
[Lawler] If that didn't crush his skull, if that didn't split him open,
nothing will.
[Cole] Oh, that might-- A low blow from Kane to Rikishi.
And Kane in control.
And Kane--
-Rikishi in trouble. -[Lawler] Is there blood?
[Cole] Kane…
[crowd cheering]
-Rikishi… -You can't chokeslam him.
-You can't! Ah! -Going for a ride, chokeslam,
400-pound chokeslam!
But that ain't gonna make him bleed! Whoa, this might make him bleed!
[Cole] Undertaker tossing those steel steps into the ring.
-[groaning] -And Haku has been busted open, King.
Haku has been busted wide open.
[Lawler] I knew that chair shot did him in!
[Cole] Referee hasn't seen it.
-Kane with the steel steps… -[Kane grunts]
-[Lawler] Oh man! -…bouncing off the head of Rikishi.
Steps to the head of Rikishi.
Haku is busted open.
[Lawler] We got a winner, but… but we ain't done!
-We're not done yet. -This is extreme, Michael.
-Have the steel steps busted open Rikishi? -Referee, look at Haku!
[Cole] Tossing Haku back into the ring.
Haku tasting, smelling his own blood. And there's no quit in Haku as well.
-[bell rings] -Oh, look at Rikishi. Look at Rikishi!
-Rikishi busted open as well. -[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] Oh man. -Undertaker and Kane win
this First Blood matchup, but, King, they're not through yet.
[Lawler] Oh, look at The Undertaker, this is--
-This has energized him. -[grunting]
Said it before, he's all about kicking ass and that's what he's doing now.
[Cole] Well, this war is just getting started.
A crimson mask flowing through that blond hair of Rikishi, King.
[Lawler] These guys, they sent in more officials
to try to pull The Undertaker and Kane off these guys, but it's not--
-It's not working. -[Cole] Undertaker and Kane
with payback for a brutal assault last week on SmackDown.
Haku, blood all over his face, all over his body,
no quit, King, no quit Rikishi as well.
-How the hell are they still going? -None of these guys are gonna stop.
We need the Ohio State football team out here to stop them.
-[Cole] Haku knocked out of the ring. -[bell rings]
-Look at Rikishi's face… -Oh!
-[groans] -…as Kane continues the assault.
-Rikishi off the steel steps. -That did it.
And Rikishi and Haku heading for higher ground.
-["Rollin'" playing] -Taker and Kane, with First Blood.
-How extreme is that? -[announcer] Here are your winners,
Kane and The Undertaker!
[Cole] Rikishi tasting his own blood.
-And a-- -And smiling!
-He's smiling! -A sick smile.
A sick smile from Rikishi.
["Rollin'" continues]
[Cole] What could be in store now for The Undertaker and Kane, King?
[Lawler] They pushed Rikishi and Haku, took them to the limit tonight,
and Rikishi and Haku are still standing,
still smiling, still wanting more.
[Lawler] Yeah, but they're both bleeding.
[Cole] Brothers united in the ring,
and their common cause, their common goal
is destruction of Haku and Rikishi.
[Lawler] I know what's on the mind of Haku and Rikishi right now.
And, Michael, you know what they say about payback.
[Cole] Let's take a look, King, at how this match ended.
-First, it was the steel chair… -Listen, listen.
-[grunts] -Oh!
…bent over the head of Haku, busting Haku wide open.
-And then steel steps from Kane… -Listen to this.
-[grunts] -Oh!
…to Rikishi.
[Lawler] And then Rikishi and Haku just kept fighting back
after those two unbelievable headshots.
[Cole] Well, it's the biggest Championship Match
in the history of SmackDown,
WWE Champion Kurt Angle defending his title in a Triple Threat Match.
Well, he said he's gonna get extreme.
He's gonna have to against that man right there,
-Triple H! -The Game, Triple H,
a late addition to the title hunt.
Triple H, Kurt Angle, and The Rock,

[Cole] Triple H and his wife Stephanie, King.
The Game, weaseling his way in
to this Triple Threat Championship Match tonight.
[Lawler] Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
"Weaseling his way in," that's your opinion.
[Cole] Well, as Mr. McMahon is away, the mice will play.
Stephanie, convincing her dad
to let Triple H be involved in this matchup.
[Lawler] Well, that's the advantage of being married to the boss's little girl.
["The Game" continues]
Weider Sports Nutrition presents WWE No Way Out.
Get Weider, get results.
No Way Out will be live Sunday, February 25th
from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
[Cole] And we know at No Way Out, "The Game" Triple H
will go one-on-one with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
And keep in mind, King, that zero-tolerance rule that's in effect.
Triple H can't touch Austin, Austin can't touch Triple H
until No Way Out.
[Lawler] Yeah. Somebody ought to--
Somebody ought to put zero-tolerance rule on Steve Austin and beer,
tell him he can't touch any beer until--
He's been drinking all night long,
probably inebriated by now.
[Cole] Well, Triple H, The Game, set for this Triple Threat Matchup.
We mentioned Mr. McMahon agreeing to put Triple H into this match,
but Mr. McMahon was in an awful hurry
to, uh, leave the Nationwide Arena here tonight.
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you something. This has been an extreme night.
Poor Triple H and Stephanie have been exposed to some extreme smells.
First of all, that bathroom after Stone Cold left it reeked.
-And now… Ah! -♪ If you smell what The Rock is cookin' ♪
Triple H has still got beer all over him from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] A great ovation, King. You can feel the electricity
for The People's Champion, The Rock.
And it's the night The Rock has been waiting for
and he's wasting little time starting this Triple Threat Matchup.
-[bell rings] -Only one problem,
the champion is not in the ring,
but the champion doesn't have to be pinned to lose the title, King.
Wait. You mean if one of these guys pin the other one,
Kurt loses the title without even getting in the ring?
-[Cole] Right. -[Lawler] Stop! Stop the match, ref!
-And The Rock hammering away. -Yeah, hurry, Kurt!
-Hurry! -And Kurt Angle realizes that,
and he's into the ring,
and the champion tossed out of the ring quickly
by The People's Champion, The Rock.
-And here we go. -Kurt is hurt.
DDT, The Brahma Bull planting Triple H.
Could be over! One, two, and a kickout.
Again, the champion does not have to be pinned to lose the title.
Rock pins Triple H, Rock's champion.
[Lawler] Kurt was almost dethroned without even entering the ring.
[grunting]
Well, entered and then a quick exit. Not another quick exit.
[Cole] Well, Triple H and Rock, King,
have been dying to get back into the title hunt.
And they're here now.
Triple H going for the Pedigree. It could be over.
-Oh! -Pedigree! Pedigree!
The champion, we've got a new champion! There's two-- And Kurt Angle
grabbing The Rock's leg and pulling him out of the ring.
Oh, I tell you, that Kurt Angle is smart. That's one of those 3 I's.
Oh, look out!
[Cole] Triple H with a shot.
Now, Kurt Angle over the top rope!
-Wait a minute! -[Lawler] What?
-[crowd cheering] -[Cole] It's… it's Stone Cold!
-Stone Cold! -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] What's he doing coming out here?
[Cole] A standing ovation.
Rattlesnake, cooler in hand, heading out to the ring.
And look at the look in the eyes of Triple H.
[Lawler] Oh, I knew this would happen.
His judgment is impaired.
He's under the influence with all that beer.
[Cole] But, King, they can't touch each other.
-No physical contact. -Look out!
Olympic Slam, Olympic Slam to Triple H. Hook of the leg!
One, two-- And Rock breaks up the three count.
[Lawler] But look at the distraction that Triple H has suffered via the--
at the hands of Stone Cold. Where's…
[mumbles] Stone Cold is after Stephanie.
[Cole] Triple H can't function properly, King, whenever Stone Cold's around.
And Stone Cold is gonna take a seat with a cold beer and watch this matchup.
Wait a minute. Stone Cold, he's got an entire cooler of beer!
He's been drinking all night. Why not have another case?
-[grunting] -Oh my gosh.
[Cole] And a right hand by The Rock to Kurt Angle.
Oh, look out, belly-to-belly, the champion in control.
-Gonna tell you something. -Wait a minute, cover.
Could be a victory here. One, two--
Rock gets the shoulder up.
Stone Cold being out here is nothing more than stalking in my book, Michael.
I know what sta-- I'm a big star. I've had stalkers.
[Cole] Well, Kurt Angle, the WWE Champion
hammering away on The Brahma Bull, The Rock,
Triple Threat rules in this matchup.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Oh, this is extreme.
This is extremely not right for Stone Cold to be out here,
interfering in this match. Look out!
-Oh, look out. Oh man. -[crowd cheering]
Rock into the cover. We could have a new champion.
There's one, there's two-- Triple H breaks up the three count.
King, on Raw Monday night, The Rock winning that fatal four-way
to gain this Championship Match…
-Look at this! -…here tonight.
Little did he know that Triple H would be involved.
Little did any of them know, Stone Cold would be sitting at ringside.
With that zero-tolerance policy in place,
Triple H and Austin can't physically touch each other before No Way Out.
If they do, King, it doesn't matter who does the hitting,
they're both gonna be punished.
[Lawler] I know that, Michael. I know that.
[Cole] Well, there's a lot at stake. It's like an insane game of cat and mouse.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Well, let's think about Kurt for a minute.
He's our WWE Champion,
and you know these rules in this Triple Threat Match are--
They're really against the champion. I mean, because he can lose his title
without even getting pinned here in this match.
Well, that's a good point, King. Triple H, top rope.
Once again, Austin saluting Triple H, causing the distraction,
allowing Rock to gain the upper hand.
Now The Game going for the ride!
[Lawler] He's not saluting Triple H, he's taunting him.
[Cole] You know, King, Austin, look at him, he's laughing.
He's having fun. He's playing games.
And Kurt Angle from behind of The Rock.
-Oh man. -You know, King, as long as Stone Cold
doesn't touch Triple H,
his first-class ticket to the main event at WrestleMania
is already punched.
-Oh, give me a break. -Stone Cold is just having fun.
-He's got nothing to lose. -He's not having fun, he's stalking.
-He's a Texas stalker, the worst kind. -[crowd cheering]
Oh yeah, and that contract signing by Triple H…
-Look at this! -…wasn't a joke Monday on Raw.
-Hey, wait a minute. -Where is Austin going now?
[Lawler] Austin's up. He's walking around.
Drunk man walking.
How many beers do you think he's had tonight?
I don't know. He should be arrested for walking around intoxicated.
-Look out, Stephanie. -Stone Cold chasing Stephanie
around the ring and--
Wait a minute, King, Austin could snap.
Austin could go over the edge.
He could cost him and Triple H.
This could be violation of the zero-- Wait a minute.
-He gave Triple H a beer. -[crowd cheering]
Stone Cold gave Triple H a beer.
[Lawler] What is-- That's an insult.
Stephanie, get that beer out of there.
Look at Triple H.
[Cole] A reminder from The Rattlesnake that he's here, King.
[Lawler] There's your beer for you.
[Cole] Triple H, tossed out of the ring,
trying to battle back into this matchup.
-Austin knows Triple H doesn't drink. -[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Look at the shot, the right hand by The Brahma Bull, battling back,
and a rake of the eyes by the champion, Kurt Angle.
-Come on! -Come on, Kurt. You're the champion.
-Suck it up. Oh, look at this. -Stone Cold has caused a major…
-Oh, look at that. -Man!
Legless takedown by The Rock.
-Oh no! -Setting up the champion.
Sharpshooter! Sharpshooter! We got a new champion!
-Don't tap! Don't tap! -We got a new champion!
-The Rock is gonna win the title! -Don't tap out!
Kurt Angle, desperately trying to hold on. He's gonna tap, King.
And Triple H, DDT to The Rock.
The Rock had the championship won.
[Lawler] Way to go, Kurt. Way to hold on there, bucko.
[Cole] The damage has been done to Kurt Angle.
-Oh, look at that. -Stone Cold…
Look at that Rattlesnake.
…looking on, all three men down in the center of the ring.
[Lawler] He has caused a lot of trouble, extreme trouble here tonight on SmackDown.
[Cole] Here's the cover. Could have a new champion, King!
Triple H-- No.
Rock just got his shoulder up.
-[Lawler] Wake up, Kurt. -Hey, ref!
Get up.
Is Kurt crying?
Kurt Angle does not have to be pinned to lose the title, King.
Triple H, this close to winning the title.
-[panting] -Pull yourself up, Kurt.
[Cole] The Game and Rock obsessed with one thing,
winning the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship.
[Lawler] Time for that intensity, Kurt.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Stone Cold will meet the champion at WrestleMania.
-He's got his first-class ticket… -Oh!
…punched already.
-The Rock battling back. -Oh!
Triple H's knees are buckling.
Triple H is getting his ticket punched right now.
The Brahma Bull off the rope,
ducks underneath the right hand by The Game.
Again, here comes The Rock, and a knee to the face by Triple H.
[Lawler] Oh, Rock can't believe that.
[grunting]
[Cole] Look out.
Triple H setting The Rock up.
Went for the Rock Bottom, great counter.
-Look out! -And a neckbreaker by The Game.
And look at Triple H, into the cover.
We've got a new champion!
Oh God-- And no!
-No, Rock kicked out. -Come on, ref!
Oh, Stephanie, can you believe this?
[Cole] How the hell did The Rock kick out, King?
-Hey! -[indistinct chatter]
What is Austin thinking? Tell me, just what is he thinking?
[Cole] Oh, Kurt Angle back to his feet,
the champion trying to gain control.
Rock and Triple H have been through hell and back here tonight.
Knee to the midsection by The Game and a right hand to the champion.
Triple Threat rules, the title is on the line.
The winner of this match could meet Stone Cold
at WrestleMania, King.
Oh man.
What a shot.
[Lawler] I just can't help but feel bad for Kurt.
[Cole] Oh, belly-to-belly, belly-to-belly by Kurt Angle.
-Whoo! -And the champion's celebrating,
perhaps prematurely 'cause The Rock is up.
-Watch it, Kurt. Look out! -The Rock is stalking Angle.
Look out!
Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom, new champion!
-Hey, Stephanie-- -New champion.
Be careful, referee. Unhand her.
Stephanie's got the referee distracted, damn it.
That referee's got his hands all over her.
Lookit, he's pulling her.
I knew that Earl Hebner was weird.
-The referee didn't make the count… -Uh-oh.
-…because of Stephanie, King. -Wait a minute. Look out.
-Oh, Stephanie! -The Rock's got Stephanie by the hair!
-Unhand her! -And The Game from behind.
Keep daddy's little girl right there.
King, Rock had the championship won.
-He also-- -Rock had the champion pinned.
He also had Stephanie's hair in his hand. What kind of man is that?
Looking over the shoulder of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
enjoying the matchup. Triple H whipped off the rope.
-Rock, spinebuster! -[crowd cheering]
Here it comes!
[Lawler] Oh no.
[Cole] Stephanie on the apron again.
[crowd cheering]
-Kurt Angle from behind. -Look at this!
-Olympic Slam! -Oh!
Olympic Slam to The Rock!
Here's the cover, hook of the leg.
Again, the referee, damn it, the referee is hooked up with Stephanie.
Here's the cover, two, and a kickout!
-[crowd cheering] -Oh, unbelievable.
How close was that, King?
What the hell was that?
-[Cole] Kurt Angle is livid. -[Lawler] I don't blame him.
That's a bad call, Kurt, but focus now. Look out!
Stephanie saving Triple H not once but twice,
saving his title shot here tonight, King.
[Lawler] Oh, I'm telling you. This referee has no integrity.
[Cole] Triple H, battling back, The Game whipped into the corner.
-Kurt Angle, the champion in control. -Ah!
-Uh-oh. -Oh. Went for the gutwrench suplex,
Triple H, great counter.
-Get off the referee! -Oh, that serves him right.
-Referee Earl Hebner knocked down. -Down like a lump.
[Cole] And Stone Cold looking on as Kurt Angle battles back.
Rock's been knocked out of the ring.
-[Lawler] Oh boy! -[Cole] Oh no.
Facebuster into the knee pads of Triple H.
Oh no. Look at this.
He's setting up Kurt Angle for the Pedigree.
If he connects here, we'll have a new champion, King.
-Watch yourself, Kurt. -And Triple H again distracted by Austin.
Austin distracted Triple H again.
-Rolls up Triple H. -[crowd cheering]
Oh, The Game is rolled up!
Stone Cold in the ring!
Stone Cold counting the one, two, three!
-[bell rings] -[Lawler] What?
["Glass Shatters" playing]
Stone Cold counting Triple H down with the referee's hand.
-He wanted to screw Triple H! -[announcer] Here's your winner
and still World Wrestling Entertainment Champion, Kurt Angle!
[Lawler] Yeah, but you got to admit, Austin never touched Triple H, not once.
[Cole] Stone Cold has screwed Triple H again.
Zero-tolerance is a ticking time bomb.
It is a game of cat and mouse.
How are Triple H and Austin going to make it to No Way Out
without destroying their careers,
without destroying their lives?
-[crowd cheering] -["Glass Shatters" playing] o No Way Out
