["Attitude Signature" playing]
[Lawler] They're riding in style tonight. They're on the top of the world!
[Cole] D-Generation X, arriving in style on SmackDown!
I will put the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship
on the line against The Big Red Machine!
[Cole] Oh, wait a minute! Here comes the cavalry!
And look at the vultures, circling around a fallen Big Red Machine.
Where are they taking Paul Bearer?
[Lawler] They're loading him in the baggage compartment!
Oh, no, there's Kane!
[Cole] There's Kane! But, now, they're four-on-one.
They just shoved Kane into the baggage compartment
with Paul Bearer.
Tonight, I'm gonna kick Cactus Jack's ass
right in the middle of the ring!
[Cole] Hardcore-style! No Holds Barred! Falls Count Anywhere!
Cactus, gonna climb the ropes. Where's X-Pac going?
-Oh, wait a minute! Triple H! -[Lawler] What? Hey!
[Cole] It's Triple H! This was a brilliant plan.
-Wait a minute. -[Lawler] What?
[Cole] They're throwing Cactus into the bus.
-Where's it going? -[Lawler] I don't know!
The two of you are gonna put the WWE Tag Team Titles on the line.
[Cole] It was supposed to be The Rock and Big Show together,
but The Rock's doing it by himself.
-Wait! -[Lawler] Look at this!
[Cole] And The Rock making a beeline for The Big Show.
And, now, a three-on-one attack by The Big Show and The Outlaws.
Where in the world is The Big Show taking The Rock?
-[Lawler] Wait a minute! -[Cole] There's the DX Express bus!
The Rock's been shoved in the DX Express by The Big Show and Triple H!
-[Lawler] And departing! -[Cole] Wait a minute, it's The Rock!
-[Lawler] Look at this! No! -[Cole] The Rock! 2x4!
The Rock with an equalizer! He's got revenge on The Big Show!
[JR] And there is the, you know, tour bus, King.
-And look at the-- -[Lawler] Yeah, it's the DX Express again!
-All right! [laughs] -[JR] It certainly is.
DX, again, arriving in style.
[Lawler] Look, you can see them there!
[JR] Man, that is a beautiful bus. What does it cost?
[Lawler] Who cares? Yeah, it costs a fortune! They're like big rock stars!
Money is no object to these guys!
Limos are nothing. Look at this thing.
Who's that guy?
[JR] It blows any limo I ever saw away.
Hey, man, you need to put some more beverages in that fridge.
[JR] DX on a roll.
Let's all take the "No Smoking" signs down.
[Lawler] Hear that, J? Get some more beverages.
All right, now, stay right here.
-Stay put. -Don't go anywhere.
You never know when a WWE Superstar
is gonna wanna take a ride on the DX Express.
-[all laughing] -I'll be right here.

-[fireworks exploding] -[crowd cheering]
[JR] No Way Out is this Sunday on pay-per-view!
But it seems, if DX has their way,
no one's gonna make it out of the Georgia Dome tonight.
Hello again, everybody! I'm Jim Ross, alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler.
And with 28,614 here tonight, we welcome you to Raw!
Who's gonna go for a ride tonight, King, in the DX Express?
-[Lawler] I don't know! -["Are You Ready?" playing]
[crowd jeering]
-[JR] And, maybe, we're gonna find out. -[Lawler] Yeah.
[JR] Because it sounds like we're about to be joined by DX,
because that's their music.
Certainly, the most controversial entity
in the history of the World Wrestling Entertainment.
Beginning the biggest week of their career, culminating this Sunday…
-[Lawler] Here they are! -[JR] …on pay-per-view.
[crowd booing]
Triple H and his wife, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley,
X-Pac and Tori, and the WWE Tag Team Champions,
The New Age Outlaws are here.
[Lawler] The Game, JR! There's The Game!
[JR] The Game will meet Cactus Jack, Hell in a Cell,
this Sunday for the WWE Title.
And Cactus must win the WWE Title this Sunday,
or Cactus' career is over.
[Lawler] That'll be wonderful. [laughs]
[JR] Not to mention Kane and X-Pac, No Holds Barred this Sunday.
The Outlaws meet The Dudleys for the Tag Team Titles.
All that and so much more this Sunday on pay-per-view!
But I guarantee you, tonight could be a fateful night
for those that cross the path of DX.
[Lawler] JR, who do you think? Come one, give me a guess.
Who do you think's gonna take a ride tonight,
a magical mystery tour on the DX Express?
[JR] There's a lot of marked men in the eyes of DX.
[Lawler] Do you think maybe The Rock, huh?
[crowd clamoring]
[JR] You gotta believe The Rock's on that hit list.
You gotta believe Cactus Jack and Kane are on that hit list, as well.
But there maybe more.
[Lawler] I can't believe that The Rock got lucky last week.
Somehow, he snuck out the other side of the DX Express.
He didn't get to make the ride.
[JR] And The Big Show got introduced to a 2x4
-right in the back of his head. -[Lawler] Hey, don't remind me.
[crowd jeering]
[JR] Almost 30,000 fans, 28,614 to be exact,
are here in Atlanta's Georgia Dome.
[crowd jeering]
[Lawler] Listen up, JR. Be quiet.
[jeering continues]
Okay, everyone, may I please have your attention?
[jeering intensifies]
-[Lawler] I thought she'd be into it. -[crowd booing]
Come on, people, where's your Southern hospitality?
Don't be rude!
-Okay, please listen. -[jeering continues]
[Lawler] She can't ask any nicer, JR.
Don't make me tell you to shut up!
[Lawler exclaims] Oh! There you go!
-[crowd booing] -They forced her to do that, JR.
[Stephanie] Now, when we last left the DX Express,
we had a funny image in our heads of that Big Red…
-and his roly-poly father… -[Lawler chuckles]
…and that toothless, smelly moron stranded in the middle of nowhere.
[Lawler chuckling] That's Cactus, I guess, she's talking about.
[crowd jeering]
You know, Steph, speaking of sweaty, toothless morons,
we got about 30,000 of them right here.
-[Lawler laughs] -["If You Smell" playing]
-Hey! -[JR] Oh, wait a minute!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Hey! What's this?
[JR] My God, listen to this ovation! It's The People's Champion!
[Lawler] Oh, yeah? The Rock? But what's he doing out here?
This is DX's time!
[JR] The man that will meet The Big Show this Sunday at No Way Out
to see who will face the WWE Champion, whomever that may be,
at WrestleMania 2000!
-The Rock is in the house! -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Man, The Rock's in style, too. Look at his shirt!
[cheering continues]
[Lawler] Okay, okay, calm down.
["If You Smell" continues playing]
[JR] And he leaves 30,000 fans on their feet.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] She's not impressed.
[crowd chanting] Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
[JR] The Rock's got his game face on.
Six days away from the biggest one-on-one match-up in The Rock's career.
[Lawler] JR, tell me, what is it about this guy? I just don't get it.
What… Look at these people, they're… [exclaims]
Finally,
The Rock has come back to Atlanta!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] And the fans are ecstatic!
-[Triple H] Whoop-dee-doo! -[Lawler laughing] There you go!
[crowd clamoring]
[crowd chanting] Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
[JR] You can feel the tension here.
The People's Champion standing alone, looking right down the barrels of DX.
[Lawler] And these 30,000 people are chanting his name!
Now Triple H, The Rock says,
we seem to have developed a little pattern here.
And that pattern is that, every single week,
you come out here and you run your mouth.
And every single week, you subject all of us
to watch you stand in the middle of the ring,
grab a microphone, and you say this…
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
I hope he doesn't offend The Game.
[mimicking Triple H] Tonight-uh…
[Lawler] Oh, no!
[crowd cheering]
I am The Game-uh…
And in this very ring-uh…
for the next 20 minutes-uh…
[Lawler] Is he constipated?
…I'm going to be talking-uh…
and saying absolutely nothing-uh!
[Lawler] He's bought himself a ticket on the DX Express! What's wrong with him?
[JR] You gotta think somebody's gonna go for a ride on the DX Express tonight.
-But the question is, who will it be? -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] With an impersonation like that, it'll for sure be The Rock.
[JR] And what a night this is gonna be. Almost 30,000 fans on hand
here in the Georgia Dome.
[cheering continues]
Well, The Rock says,
uhh…
-you absolutely suck! -[Lawler shrieks]
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] He can't…
You're not supposed to say what you really mean.
You see, Triple H, The Rock says, tonight is going to be a special night.
But it's not gonna be a DX night because, quite frankly,
the thought of another DX night
makes The Rock wanna stick his finger down his throat
and spew The People's Vomit all over your candy asses!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] What?
"Spew The People's Vomit?"
JR, you know he's going for a ride.
[chuckling] Oh, Rock, you're so witty. First, let me comment you
on the beautiful pajama top you're wearing. That's very nice.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. Pajama top? -[crowd booing]
You know, Rock, as much as I hate your no-talent ass,
there's one thing I can count on, and that is you coming out here each week
and rambling off one of your many catchphrases
designed to make us laugh, oh, so heartily.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh, wait. -[laughing mockingly]
-Oh, it's great stuff, Rock. -[Lawler] Rock's walking down here.
[Triple H] But I tell you what, get this through your thick head,
if I say it's gonna be a DX night,
it's gonna be a damn DX night!
And tonight is gonna be a DX night!
[crowd booing]
And since it seems that there are four of us
and just one of your little ass,
it seems like you don't have much of a chance,
it seems like you don't even have a damn choice.
-["Whole Lotta Groove" playing] -[JR] Wait a minute.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Oh, no, not this idiot!
-[JR] Here comes Cactus Jack! -[Lawler] No, please!
[JR] Cactus Jack,
the man that's coming for Triple H's title this Sunday, Hell in a Cell!
The Rock is not alone! Cactus Jack is here!
[Lawler] Look at the look on the face of The Game.
I don't know who hates worse, The Rock or that toothless idiot, Cactus Jack.
[JR] Cactus Jack, one of the most vicious--
Well, all right. Triple H. Yeah, I'll admit,
you left Cactus Jack stranded in the middle of the Road
last Thursday night,
but you didn't leave me stranded for very long because of two reasons…
A, I've been hitchhiking all around this country
since I was 17 years old.
[Lawler] Who would give him a ride?
And B,
unlike you, America does not hate my guts.
-[crowd cheering] -[JR] Wow.
So, you see, Triple H, it wasn't very long
till a big truck with a driver named Big Earl picked me up.
And I climbed into that truck and I told him a couple of stories,
including the ones about what I will do to you
in six days at Hell in a Cell in No Way Out!
-[crowd cheering] -[JR] That's gonna be ugly.
[Lawler] Big Earl?
Including the one, Triple H, where I go outside that cage
and step by step, I head up to the very top.
[Lawler] Oh, no.
And I told Big Earl about the look on your face
when I come flying off that cage on top of you!
-[Lawler] Oh, no. This is not good. -[JR] Oh, God. Oh, my God.
[crowd cheering]
And, then, in the distance, me and Earl saw two more fingers
and we picked up a couple more passengers.
-[explosion] -["Slow Chemical" playing]
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Oh, no!
[JR] Here comes The Big Red Machine, along with Paul Bearer,
those other two passengers, I'm sure, that Cactus was talking about.
[Lawler] That had to be a mighty big truck to haul that load.
18-wheeler, at least.
-[crowd clamoring] -["Slow Chemical" fades out]
Hey Triple H…
I got to admit, a big Six-Man Tag Team
sounds like a lot of fun.
But why don't we do this,
why don't we give the people of Atlanta, Georgia just…
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Oh, wait a minute.
Who died and left him in charge?
…just a little taste
of what they can expect to see, tonight, in that very ring.
-[Lawler] What's he doing? -[JR] Oh, wait, here comes Cactus!
Cactus coming for Triple H!
The Rock and Kane are in the ring!
[Lawler] Wait, JR, what is…
[JR] The Rock pounding on The Road Dogg!
[Lawler] Get some help out here! Get the refs to stop this!
-[JR] Cactus Jack-- -["Big" playing]
♪ Well, it's The Big Show ♪
[JR] What the hell?
My God, it's that 500-pound monster, The Big Show, and he's got a steel chair!
[Lawler] Here come the reinforcements, baby!
-[JR] It's a one-man cavalry. -[Lawler] Get the army! [whoops]
-Oh! -[JR] Oh, my God!
-[Lawler] Oh! -[crowd booing]
[JR] Big Show with that steel chair, knocking down Kane and The Rock!
-[Lawler] And who does that leave, JR? -[JR] Oh, come on!
-Triple H! -[Lawler] Look out! Oh.
[JR] Oh, the Pedigree on Cactus Jack.
Cactus Jack, Kane, and The Rock look like they've been in a car wreck.
[Lawler] Yeah, it looks like no way out for Cactus Jack. [laughs]
["Are You Ready?" playing]
Cactus said he wanted to give everybody a little preview of what they can expect.
[JR] Yeah, but what Six-Man Tag Match is Cactus Jack talking about?
[Lawler] I don't think he knows what he was saying,
he's babbling on like an idiot.
[JR] Has there been a Six-Man Tag signed that we're not aware of?
[Lawler] Well, I guess he's talking about Kane, Rock, and Cactus against somebody,
but I don't know.
[JR] Man, if this is an omen of things to come,
-this could indeed be a DX night. -[Lawler] Yeah.
[JR] We're back live, ladies and gentlemen.
Pandemonium here on Raw.
-And we got that Six-Man cleared up. -[Lawler] Wow.
[JR] Tonight, in a Six-Man Tag, it's gonna be
The Rock, Cactus Jack, and Kane
against Triple H, The Big Show, and X-Pac, King,
right here, live, tonight.
[Lawler] Well, I can't believe that The Rock, Cactus Jack, and Kane
want any more out of The Big Show, X-Pac, and Triple H after what they did just see.
Oh, it's great.
[JR] Oh, it's gonna be a six-man war tonight, live, here in the Georgia Dome.
And we are set for tag team action here.
[Lawler] Whoa! Ninth Wonder of the World!
[JR] There is Chyna, indeed, the Ninth Wonder of the World.
-[Lawler] Look at that! -[crowd cheering]
-Wow. -[JR] Firing that C2000.
And, certainly, the reason for this match tonight, ladies and gents,
was well-documented. Remember here, last week,
Chyna and Kurt Angle, one-on-one… or…
We saw Chyna with a DDT from behind on Kurt Angle.
[Lawler] Right. From behind, it wasn't fair.
[JR] That was on Raw. Then, on SmackDown,
Angle and Chyna went one-on-one. And, boom!
It was Kurt Angle hitting Chyna right in the head
with the European Title belt.
[Lawler] An eye for an eye, you know what they say.
["Who I Am" playing]
[JR] Chris Jericho,
thank God, he was on the scene on SmackDown, Thursday night,
there to save Chyna.
Chyna and Jericho together tonight.
Of course, Chyna also the cover of the Raw magazine.
-[Lawler whoops] -[JR] Available now.
The most revealing story on Chyna's life that you, perhaps, will ever read.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh! How revealing is it, JR?
Body and soul, woo-hoo!
Forget the soul, I'm more interested in the body.
-["Break The Walls Down" playing] -[crowd cheering]
-Uh-oh. -[crowd clamoring]
[explosion]
[JR] And Chyna's partner, of course, the Undisputed Intercontinental Champion,
the man that will meet the Olympian, Kurt Angle, this Sunday at No Way Out
for Jericho's Intercontinental Championship.
[Lawler] Oh, I got a feeling this is gonna be an unbelievable night, JR.
Look at the way it's already started. Oh, man!
[Jericho] All right, Atlanta!
[crowd cheering]
[Jericho] Welcome to Raw is Jericho!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Almost 30,000 fans on hand.
And I know that all of you Jerichoholics
are ready for a rock 'n' roll party tonight!
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Such a big mouth.
And who better to host this little shindig than your party hosts,
the ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and the hundredth wonder of the world, Chyna?
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Easy for him to say, huh?
And, of course, yours truly, Y2J,
The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla!
[Lawler] What does Ayatollah have to do with rock 'n' roll?
[JR] I don't know, it rhymes?
-["Medal" playing] -[Lawler] Oh, here we go!
Stand up, JR! Take that stupid hat off and put it over your heart.
And look at this! British Bulldog and Kurt Angle!
I would just like to say, if I may…
And I don't want any of you to take this the wrong way,
but not one good thing has happened in this town
since your Olympic Champion won his Olympic gold medal back in 1996.
-[Lawler] That's right, it was here. -It's true, it's true.
[Lawler] Right here in Atlanta, 1996.
Since then, Atlanta has gone from cheering Olympic heroes
to cheering punks and foul-mouthed hooligans and bad apples.
Oh, yes! Bad apples like John Rocker…
[Lawler] Oh!
…and Isaiah. And you know who I'm talking about, Isaiah Rider.
Not to mention, foul-mouthed hooligans like yours truly, Y2J.
[crowd booing]
[Lawler] He is foul-mouthed.
Now, before we get started, I would just like to explain myself
for last Thursday night's actions at SmackDown
for hitting Chyna with my prestigious European Championship belt.
Now, I was told by reliable sources, and this is true,
because I am a man of integrity and I would not lie,
I was told by reliable sources that Chyna was going to steal my belt
and sell it… Oh, yeah, hock it for money,
so that she could buy even more plastic surgery.
-[Lawler] Oh, my God! -Oh no, not this belt.
-[Lawler] I'm not that source, JR. -[Kurt] Oh, no, that's not gonna happen.
So, tonight, my good friend, Davey Boy, my European friend,
and your European champion
are going to give Y2J and Chyna
a beating they will never ever--
[Lawler] Uh-oh. Hey, wait!
[JR] Jericho right in the face of Kurt Angle!
[Lawler] That's no way to treat an Olympic Champion!
-[JR] Tag team action here. -[bell rings]
[Lawler] He don't even have his gold off. Look at this!
-[JR] And Chyna with a DDT on Angle. -[Lawler] Oh, my God! What in the world?
JR, grab those Olympic gold medals
before somebody here in Atlanta steals 'em.
[JR] Jericho and Angle… Oh, my!
…for the Intercontinental Title, Sunday, at No Way Out. But here tonight, live,
it is tag team action.
And Angle desperately makes the quick tag to The Bulldog.
[Lawler] Oh, look out! Man!
[JR] Jericho takes The Bulldog down.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh! Oh, right on the back!
[JR] Nice backbreaker, there's a cover.
And Jericho got a near fall out of it,
and tags in the "Ninth Wonder of the World" Chyna.
[Lawler] Oh, Lord, look out! Oh!
[JR] Nice teamwork by Jericho and Chyna.
Man, I'll tell you what, The Rock, Cactus Jack, and Kane tonight
against Triple H, The Big Show, and X-Pac.
That is going to take the roof off the Georgia Dome, you gotta believe.
And The Bulldog almost took Chyna's head off with that shot.
-[Lawler] Oh, no! -[crowd cheering]
[JR] A low blow.
[Lawler] Chyna almost took a souvenir home. Look out!
[JR] And Jericho! Oh, man.
The Bulldog used Jericho's own momentum to elevate Jericho over the top.
And, now, Angle, like a rabid Olympian,
-that he is. -[Lawler] What? "Rabid Olympian"?
You can't blame him, JR. All those foul-mouthed
hooligans he was talking about.
[JR] I never heard Jericho use any foul language.
-[Lawler] Well, we got the hooligan. -[JR] How do you figure that?
[Lawler] You just can't doubt what an Olympic gold medalist
like Kurt Angle says.
You heard what he said about Atlanta. Have you seen this place?
Today, I went down to underground Atlanta, rats decided to claw me.
-[JR] Oh, Jericho… -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] Taking down the Olympic gold medal winner, Kurt Angle,
and reigning European Champion.
But this Sunday on pay-per-view, it'll be Jericho's intercontinental Title at stake,
-when these two men meet. -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] Asai moonsault found its mark. That could be all!
Leg is hooked. And The Bulldog interrupted the count.
And here comes Chyna, and down goes The Bulldog.
[Lawler] Don't worry, Angle would've kicked out anyway.
-[JR] Well, that's arguable. -[Lawler] Look at Chyna.
Hey, ref, how about getting the illegal Chyna out of the ring?
[JR] Oh, Chyna.
-[Lawler] Oh, no! -[JR] Handspring elbow
-on a vertical and stationary Kurt Angle! -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] It's an impressive move, JR,
but she's not the legal person in the ring.
[JR] Angle and Jericho are the legal men in the ring here.
-[Lawler] Oh, hey! -[JR] Angle head-bounced off our table!
Jericho now. Jericho's got The Walls of Jericho on The Bulldog,
-but The Bulldog's not legal! -[crowd cheering]
Angle just knocked down Chyna with a clothesline,
but Bulldog is not legal here.
[Lawler] Fight it, Bulldog! Fight it!
[JR] Wait a second. That's the intercontinental…
-Jericho just got knocked down… -[Lawler laughing] With his own title!
-[JR] …with his own title belt. -[Lawler laughing] Oh, man, what a move!
[JR] Angle's Olympic Slam! Leg is hooked.
And Angle and The Bulldog had won this match-up!
["Medal" playing]
[Lilian] Here are your winners, The British Bulldog and Kurt Angle!
[Lawler] Angle is undefeated in Atlanta!
[JR] Sometimes, Kurt Angle just makes me sick.
[Lawler] You can use your hat if you're gonna go throw up.
[JR] Angle and Jericho, the intercontinental title
it's at No Way Out. That's this Sunday on pay-per-view.
["Medal" continues playing]
[Lawler] Oh, Jericho got blasted with his own belt. [laughs]
Yo, Rikishi, man, what are you doing? What are you doing?
-Don't worry about it. -You can't go up there like that.
Hey, listen, hold up, man.
Don't worry about me. You guys go out there and handle your business.
I'm gonna be okay, all right?
-Tell him, doc. -Easy.
-You shouldn't really compete tonight. -Hey, doc.
Don't worry about Guerrero, man. Think about your ankle.
Listen, what did I tell you? Go ahead on your business. I got… Hey!
Come on, man.
-[Lawler] Did they say Guerrero? -[JR] Yeah.
Rikishi, Guerrero tonight? What's that all about?
[JR] We are back live on Raw. Just moments ago,
The European Champion
knocked the Intercontinental Champion, King, smooth out.
[Lawler] Yeah. Kurt Angle laid it on the old Ayatollah,
as the Ayatollah was holding… well, he was holding The Bulldog hostage.
But it was poetic justice.
Kurt Angle used… Well, he used his own title belt.
-["Medal" playing] -[Lilian] Here's your winners…
[JR] Kurt Angle celebrating. Will he celebrate this Sunday at No Way Out
when he meets Jericho
for the Intercontinental Title, is the question.
And Too Cool about to join us for tag team action.
Certainly, they tried to get their big buddy, Rikishi,
not to compete tonight.
[Lawler] What is up with that? Rikishi's got a bad wheel
and he wants to take on Guerrero?
[Lilian] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 438 pounds,
Scotty 2 Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay,
Too Cool!
[JR] I tell you what, King, it's a miracle Rikishi's ankle is not broken
at the hands of The Radicalz.
The steel chair, the steel steps. You talk about some bone structure.
But Rikishi and Eddie Guerrero tonight, no disqualification.
[Lawler] I don't get it.
-Look, we're wrestling Too Cool tonight. -And so what?
What? I got to thinking, okay?
Too cool are so over because they dance.
So I figure, you dance, maybe you'll be over, too.
-What do you think? -I think you're a--
Whoa, whoa, whoa! I see. Mr. Grumpypants is upset
because he thinks I don't have anything for him.
There you go. They're yellow. The color of cheese.
That thing is working, brother. It's magic.
This is ridiculous.
-[Al Snow] Hold on. -This is crazy.
Wait, wait, wait! I got something here.
Now, our old entrance music… [snaps fingers]
No beat, no rhythm, right? Can't dance to it.
Worked it out.
Got something new. Tell me what you think, and be honest.
[hip-hop music playing]
[JR] I don't think Blackman liked the music, King.
[Lawler] What's wrong with him? That was some good music.
He's just not cool, JR.
[JR] He likes to fight, not to dance, I suppose. I don't…
Al Snow and Steve Blackman,
who have a tremendous win-loss record here in tag team action,
to take on the red-hot team of Too Cool.
[Lawler] Listen to this. You can't dance to this.
[Lilian] And their opponents, at a combined weight of 491 pounds,
Al Snow and "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman!
[JR] Well, not only is Rikishi gonna take on Eddie Guerrero tonight
in a no disqualification one-on-one match-up… And here we go.
Too Cool and Rikishi gets The Radicalz in a Six-Man Tag this Sunday, No Way Out.
And this match-up getting underway.
-[Lawler] Look out! -[JR] Nice crossbody by Grandmaster Sexay.
And referee Tim White's gonna have to restore a little order here.
That might be one way to work on that project.
Out goes Blackman.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[JR] And this one may be over
before it even gets really started.
[Lawler] That's 'cause Blackman wouldn't go along with what Al Snow wanted to do.
You gotta have a gimmick here. Oh.
Look at Scotty's hair.
[crowd cheering]
That's what happens when you mix Rikishi and Viagra. [laughs]
[JR] Gimmicks are good, but you gotta be an athlete first.
[Lawler] Uh-oh, it's the Worm! It's the Worm!
[JR] And these close to 30,000 fans responding to Scotty 2 Hotty's Worm!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Not the throat. Oh.
[JR] Al Snow is not yet out of the blocks.
[Lawler] Did you say they were responding to Scotty's Worm?
-[JR] The dance. -[Lawler] Oh.
Oh, look out!
-[JR] Good teamwork here. Oh! -[Lawler] Wow.
[JR] The Lethal Weapon just shoved a foot right on the face of Grandmaster Sexay.
And there's the cover.
And the referee finally gets in a position to make the count,
and Scotty 2 Hotty interrupted before the three.
[crowd clamoring]
Rikishi and Too Cool this Sunday at No Way Out.
-Man, what a pay-per-- -[Lawler] Hey, look at this.
-[JR] Oh, The Radicalz. -[Lawler chuckles]
[JR] Benoit, Guerrero, Saturn, and Malenko,
just doing a little scouting here before their Six-Man Tag Match.
[Lawler] They're watching Too Cool get their crap beaten.
I don't think they're impressed.
[JR] Nice double team by Snow and Blackman,
as Blackman now, the legal man, using his fist, his feet,
anything he can. His body is a lethal weapon.
[Lawler] Guerrero's still got that bad elbow, how is he gonna…
What a man he is to challenge Rikishi.
[JR] Or he's not very bright, one of the two.
And what about Rikishi? Rikishi shouldn't even be here.
You heard what the trainer said.
[Lawler] It's gonna be a true handicap match.
[JR] Certainly is.
And it's no disqualification, and it's later tonight.
[Lawler] Can't wait for that.
[JR] Blackman is adept at using his feet as he is with his hands.
-Irish whip to the far side. -[Lawler] Oh.
[JR] And Grandmaster got a foot in himself. A little foot for ya.
Drop toehold, and Blackman's head bounced off the bottom turnbuckle.
-[Lawler] That Head Cheese? -[JR] I ain't going there.
-[Lawler] Over here! There he is. -[JR] And Grandmaster gets a tag.
And, now, Scotty 2 Hotty picking up the pace here.
[crowd cheering]
Scotty 2 Hotty working over Blackman.
Grandmaster Sexay and Al Snow both go over the top.
[Lawler] Uh-oh!
[JR] Oh, nice tilt-a-whirl slam by Steve Blackman,
-quick in the air on Scotty 2 Hotty. -[Lawler] Almost took his head off!
[JR] Grandmaster just got introduced to the steel steps.
[Lawler] What? Without the head, his hair still stands up.
[JR] Well, Snow's…
[Lawler] He wants him to dance, to moonwalk!
He's gonna do it, look at this!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler laughs] There you go!
[JR] And there's Steve Blackman's attempt…
-[Lawler] He did it! -[JR] … to moonwalk.
-[Lawler] He's championship-- -[JR] Oh, look out!
-Can he hold him? -[crowd cheering]
[JR] Oh, Scotty 2 Hotty, Grandmaster Sexay get the victory!
[Lilian] Here are your winners, Too Cool!
-[JR] What is Al Snow thinking? -[Lawler] I can't believe it.
For just a second there, I thought Blackman had charisma.
But, you know, I guess that's what you get for being a show off.
[JR] Al Snow picked a very tough time to give Blackman his cue to dance,
right in the middle of the contest.
[laughs] G-Money, it's time to inspect the ladies.
-Come on, girls, it's time to go. -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
-Come on, let's go. -Oh, look at that. Oh!
[all exclaiming]
[Lawler] Get ready!
[JR] King, the train is about to leave the station!
[Lawler] Woo-hoo! Hold on, baby! How many of 'em?
-This train is leaving the station. -[Lawler] They just keep on coming.
[JR] Over 30,000 fans on hand here tonight in Atlanta, the Georgia Dome,
on a night where The Rock, Cactus Jack, and Kane
will collide with The Game, The Big Show, and X-Pac.
We welcome you live back to Raw!
Take a look at this crowd, 30,000 fans here in Atlanta
to see the World Wrestling Entertainment.
-["The Ho Train" playing] -[Lawler] Uh-oh!
This is what I came to see, JR! Yoo-hoo!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Man, would you look at the ladies with The Godfather and D-Lo.
[Lawler] We got 30,000 fans, and you can't even count all the hos!
[whoops] Atlanta's finest!
-[bell ringing] -[Lilian] The following tag team contest
is scheduled for one fall.
Making their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 588 pounds,
The Godfather and D-Lo Brown!
[Lawler] Yeah, shaking it, baby!
[JR] Oh, oh, oh! Okay, uh…
-You all right there, tiger? -[Lawler] I could fall in love with her.
-I love her. -[JR] Easy now.
[Lawler] Oh, man!
-[JR] The Godfather is-- -[Lawler] Oh, daddy!
[JR] The Godfather and D-Lo have brought out all the stops tonight.
-[Lawler] Yoo-hoo! -[JR] Holy moly!
[Lawler] Oh, man, can you…
-[JR] Well… -["The Ho Train" continues playing]
[Lawler] I'd like to give her the belly-to-belly.
-You're my hero, Godfather! -[crowd cheering]
[JR] He is a fun loving guy, The Godfather.
[Lawler] Oh, that cameraman. [chuckles]
Oh, yeah!
Get down, baby!
-What's up, Atlanta? -[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] I'll tell you. -[JR] I know what's up over here.
It's time once again for everybody to come aboard the…
[all] Ho-Train!
[Godfather] Man, I know that I ain't the only one.
Is there any pimps out there in this house?
-[crowd cheers] -[Lawler laughs]
[JR] About 30,000 worth.
To all y'all that know that The Godfather be…
[all] Pimpin' hos nationwide!
Then don't hide it, take it out, light that stinky dinky up and say…
[all] Pimpin' ain't easy!
["Radicalz" playing]
[JR] Think the Atlanta franchise might be available soon.
[Lawler] Oh, yeah. JR, you oughta go talk to him.
[Lilian] Their opponents, at a combined weight of 469 pounds,
Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko!
[JR] Folks, while we have a moment, let us remind you that tonight, after Raw,
on WWE.com,
you can chat with The Radicalz, The Rock, and Tazz.
All those individuals on WWE.com.
You can go there now for more information.
[Lawler] From Atlanta, huh?
That would be interesting.
[JR] This Sunday on pay-per-view, on No Way Out,
Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn
will meet Rakishi and Too Cool, Six-Man Tag Team action,
as D-Lo Brown faces off here with Perry Saturn in this tag team match.
[Lawler] Come on, D-Lo. Don't let the lovely ladies down.
Oh, look at this! Man!
[JR] Nice move there by D-Lo Brown, driving Saturn face first into the canvas.
-[Lawler] Oh, my! -[JR] High elevation there.
Man, tell you what, tonight…
Matter of fact, we're just moments away from a huge Eight-Man Tag Match,
Christian and Edge and The Hardys on one side
against the New Age Outlaws and The Dudleys on the other.
Of course, The Outlaws and The Dudleys face each other on Sunday
on pay-per-view for the tag team titles.
[Lawler] Well, so do Edge and Christian face The Hardys?
-[JR] For the number-one contendership. -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] Nice overhead belly-to-belly suplex by Perry Saturn.
And makes a tag to Dean Malenko.
And Malenko, taken off his feet.
[Lawler] So, we got opponents becoming partners tonight, huh?
-[JR] Exactly right. Eight men. -[Lawler] Did you say belly-to-belly?
Are you thinking of those hos again?
JR, go and talk to them, they might teach you a second position.
[JR] Uh-oh. Look out.
That's a flip! And a near fall.
Position of what? What are you talking about?
[Lawler] I knew it.
-[JR] I'm a happily married man. -[Lawler] Come on, guys!
[JR] Oh, look at that. Loads of power there.
And The Godfather, followed by D-Lo Brown! Look at this teamwork here.
The Godfather and D-Lo, kicking it up here offensively.
-[Lawler] Oh, man! -[JR] Down goes Saturn!
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. Here we go. -[crowd cheering]
-I think I hear it. I think I feel it. -[JR] The train might leave the station.
[crowd cheering]
Oh, no! Hey! Oh, Saturn! What a…
-[Lawler] You idiot. -[JR] What a great move by Saturn,
intercepting The Godfather.
Saturn put his own body on the line.
-[Lawler] It was a great move, but-- -[JR] It took out The Godfather.
It may have hurt Saturn, too, who's crawling to his corner.
I think those guys are trying to take The Godfather down to size,
get him on the canvas.
[Lawler] The Ho Train was derailed.
[JR] That'll do it for you every time, Foot to the face. Lateral press.
Oh, look at the power of The Godfather. Kicked out.
Long before the three that time.
[Lawler] Take a look at this Ho Train being derailed, JR. Oh, man.
[JR] Right in the thigh muscle by Saturn,
really charley-horsed that thigh muscle up.
And now The Godfather, not able to move around.
Oh, reversed the counter.
The Godfather will not quit on you, I guarantee you that.
But he got met with both feet of Dean Malenko.
And The Godfather comes back with the power.
But he's hurting and he can't capitalize.
The Godfather trying to make the tag, reaching moments ago for D-Lo Brown.
D-Lo and Saturn poised in their respective corners
ready to receive the tag. D-Lo gets the tag.
[Lawler] Saturn's still not woozy himself.
[JR] D-Lo Brown got the tag, hammering away at Dean Malenko.
-[Lawler] Oh, man. -[JR] This time it's D-Lo
right up in Malenko's face. Nice move.
-Saturn here, Lo Down! -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] D-Lo's version of the powerbomb.
Scoop slam on Saturn.
And D-Lo and The Godfather looking great here tonight in this tag team match-up.
-[Lawler] Oh! -[JR] Leg drop right to the face.
There's a cover. Will that…
No, it will not be enough this time.
[Lawler] They're looking great. So are the ladies. Gotta impress 'em.
[JR] Hard right hand by D-Lo Brown.
Remember, The Radicalz make their pay-per-view debut this Sunday
-at No Way Out. -[Lawler] Oh, look out.
[JR] What a shot right to the ear.
-And Saturn, up on top. -[Lawler] Watch out! Oh, man.
[JR] Saturn with the elbow right off of the top,
right in the heart of D-Lo Brown. Will that be enough?
-Yes, it will. -[bell rings]
["Radicalz" playing]
[Lawler] There was no tag there, but Saturn came from the top.
[Lilian] …Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko!
[JR] I'm not even sure that Saturn was the legal man.
Now, coming up in just matter of moments, a huge Eight-Man Tag Team Match-Up.
The Hardys join forces with Edge and Christian
against The Outlaws and The Dudleys.
[Lawler] I think the hos need to be consoled. Hang on.
Look at Perry Saturn.
He was not the legal man. He never had the tag, but he got the win.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Shut up!
See, you guys aren't getting it.
Obviously, we know what we're doing.
You guys follow and we'll lead.
Oh, we're so sorry, champs.
I'll tell you what, why don't you boys meet us out there,
watch and learn, and try to keep up with us.
Oh, keep up with you? [laughs] Keep up with you…
[Cactus Jack] I've been a professional for 15 years…
[Jericho] Nine years…
[Faarooq] It's taken a lifetime of training to do what I do.
[Jericho] Still, I've incurred countless injuries,
-stiches… -[Chyna] Bumps and bruises.
[multiple speakers] The danger is always there. The fear is always there.
-[Jericho] Don't be a bonehead. -[Faarooq] Don't be a clown.
[multiple speakers] Don't try this at home.
[Cactus Jack] Please, leave the danger to us.
[JR] Great advice from those WWE Superstars.
And, King, you gotta wonder, who's going for the ride on the DX Express tonight?
[Lawler] I don't know. Leave the danger to us and leave the driving to us.
-Take the bus! [laughs] -["You Think You Know Me" playing]
[JR] And we are live throughout North America, the USA network,
and on TSN in Canada.
[bell rings]
[Lilian] The following is an Eight-Man Tag Team Match,
and it's scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from Toronto, Canada, at a combined weight of 455 pounds,
Edge and Christian!
[JR] Well, we know Edge and Christian will meet The Hardy Boyz
this Sunday at No Way Out
to determine the number-one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Titles.
But here tonight, those four men must co-exist as partners.
[Lawler chuckles] Opponents becoming partners here tonight.
-["Loaded" playing] -[crowd cheering]
Uh-oh.
[Lilian] Their partners, at a combined weight of 430 pounds,
Matt and Jeff, The Hardy Boyz!
[JR] They are risk-takers. They're daredevils, extremists,
are The Hardy Boyz.
This one should be something, King.
[Lawler] Oh, you got that right, JR.
And, tonight, Raw is War is brought to you by Chef Boyardee.
Overstuff yourself on Monday nights with Chef Boyardee Overstuffed and the WWE.
[JR] And by Starburst Hard Candy. Give it some juice!
[Lawler] And by WWE Shop Zone, the official online store of the WWE.
[JR] I can't get enough of The Hardys and Edge and Christian
in their tag team match-up. We'll see that on Sunday
in a high-stakes match-up.
But these two men here are gonna be in the highest-stakes match-up…
[Lilian] …of 565 pounds,
Bubba Ray and D-Von, The Dudley Boyz!
[JR] …because those Damn Dudleys are gonna take on The Outlaws
for the Tag Team Titles this Sunday at No Way Out.
And, certainly, last night on Heat here on the USA Network,
The Dudleys cost Jeff Hardy, didn't he say,
the Intercontinental Championship.
[Lawler] Can't believe you still call them The Damn Dudleys.
[Road Dogg] Oh, you didn't know?
Your ass better call somebody!
[Lawler] Now, if I'm not mistaken, JR, here in Atlanta, last time we were here,
-you got your butt kicked by Chyna. -[JR] You got a good memory.
Atlanta, GA, you damn right!
[JR] I think you're right.
-[Lawler] I got a good memory. -You see, it's me,
it's me, it's the D-O-Double G.
[Lawler] Keep calling them Damn Dudleys, you might get it again tonight.
[JR] Boy, this is gonna be an interesting dichotomy of tag teams here.
How are these four teams gonna co-exist?
There's so much on the line this Sunday at No Way Out for all of these teams.
-["Oh You Didn't Know" playing] -Cut the music.
[music fades out]
[Lawler] Cut it.
Georgia Dome, welcome to the Dogg House!
[crowd clamoring]
You see, my partner's a thugga, I kick it like ugga.
If you don't like it, we'll mug ya.
Now, let's see if we can make a little noise up in this…
[all] Bitch!
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages,
D-Generation X proudly brings to you
its WWE Tag Team Champions of the world,
The "Road Dogg" Jesse James, The "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn,
the New Age Outlaws!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] You down with that, King?
[Lawler chuckles] Hey.
-What's Christian doing? -And of course…
[JR] Oh, no! Oh, man! What a shot by "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn!
[Lawler] I think he's down with that!
-[laughing] -[JR] Man!
Billy Gunn just threw that microphone right on the face of Christian.
And yes, indeed, this Eight-Man Tag Team Match-Up is underway!
[Lawler laughing] JR, that was great. That was beautiful.
[JR] What a shot!
"Badd Ass" Billy Gunn and Christian there in this Eight-Man Tag Team Match-Up.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[JR] Six days away from the most eagerly anticipated
pay-per-view in the World Wrestling Entertainment in a long, long time.
-No Way Out. -[Lawler] Oh, look at that!
[JR] And all four of these teams are deeply involved.
[Lawler] Hey, wait a minute.
[JR] And Christian up on top there.
And look out!
Oh, Christian just… The south went out of the body there
of "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn.
He went straight south. And Christian, standing tall
-against both the New Age Outlaws. -[Lawler] How did Christian do that?
[JR] He's a resourceful--
[Lawler] Get outta here! Away from the microphone!
[Lawler] Nice drop toehold by Christian, taking down D-Von Dudley.
The Damn Dudleys, The Outlaws, this Sunday, the Tag Team Titles.
But tonight, they are partners.
Great teamwork by Matt Hardy. There's a…
He got the cover. Matt Hardy and Christian showing some nice teamwork.
[JR] Yeah, they won't be showing any teamwork Sunday.
[Lawler] I agree with that. Man, that is gonna be a stem-winder
between The Hardys, Edge and Christian… Another innovative offense.
…on Sunday, no doubt about it.
There's a cover! And D-Von just barely able to kick out there.
[Lawler] Three of these teams in this ring right now
want to be the WWE Tag Team Champions in the worst way.
[JR] Teamwork…
[Lawler] Oh, he got him! New Age Outlaws.
[Lawler] Great teamwork by The Hardys.
Matt and Jeff Hardy, the brothers from North Carolina.
And Bubba Dudley…
-[Lawler] No! No! -[JR] Oh, Bubba.
-[Lawler] No! -[JR] Bubba going a for a ride.
[screaming in pain]
Bubba not quite so tough when he's not driving a woman
through a table, like Terri,
-or Barbara Bush, the EMT. -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] The shirts came off and these women went wild here.
[JR] I think Jeff Hardy is using that shirt to choke D-Von.
-[Lawler] Let me take my coat off. -[JR] Oh, please don't.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[JR] Right hand blocked.
Oh, look at the agility of Jeff Hardy. Right up on top.
-[Lawler] Yeah… Oh, my God! -[crowd exclaiming]
[JR] The Road Dogg just pushed Jeff Hardy face first right off the top.
-[Lawler] There's some agility for you. -[JR] For God's sakes!
Oh! Right in the face again!
And Jeff Hardy, again, face first into the security barricade!
[Lawler] That's it for Jeff Hardy.
Shoot him back in!
[JR] Jeff Hardy tossed right back into the wolves as…
[Lawler] Can we see that again?
-See, this is wha-- -[crowd exclaiming]
[JR] And watch this.
[Lawler] That's why they call that stuff high-risk, JR.
[JR] Jeff Hardy, his face driven into the security wall on two occasions.
And The Road Dogg gets the tag.
These Hardys are extremists, there's no doubt about it.
-They live on the edge. -[Lawler] Look at this!
[JR] And no pun intended, with Edge in their corner.
[Lawler] Their problem is they live over the edge, the Hardys do.
They take too many chances, JR.
[JR] I didn't see any tag made there.
[Lawler] What were you looking at? They tagged.
[JR] I didn't see that tag. But I guess it doesn't matter.
Referee's questioning Mr. Ass, who will not give you a straight answer.
Jeff Hardy has been isolated now from his three partners,
his brother, Matt, Edge, and Christian.
Shut your mouth!
[Lawler] How would you like to go through life with a name like Mr. Ass, JR?
[JR] Well…
He's proud of it, you know?
[JR] I think I'll pass. Could be Road Dogg.
How about that name?
[Lawler] How about B-B-B-Bubba Ray?
[JR] Jeff Hardy fighting back. He needs to make a tag here.
Jeff's gonna try more offense. Oh, my God!
He just took the cameraman down, and the cameraman is hurt.
The cameraman is down and he is hurt.
Jeff Hardy faced… His feet came right into the cameraman.
-[Lawler] I told you, too dangerous. -[JR] And there's a cover.
This one could be over. Jeff Hardy kicked out.
Man alive, we got casualties on the outside.
[Lawler] Watch this. This is when it's a bad time to be a cameraman. Oh!
-[crowd clamoring] -Hello.
[JR] Man, it is a war zone, indeed, here.
You're on Raw. Nobody's safe with these eight guys around, I tell ya.
[Lawler] I think we need hazardous duty pay.
This desk was actually pushed backed into one of my ribs.
[JR] Are you all right?
-Oh, my God! Look at that elevation! -[Lawler] Wow!
[JR] That's amazing.
And Bubba Ray with a cheap shot on Matt Hardy.
And, now, look at this. The Outlaws and The Dudleys working as a unit here.
[Lawler] Oh, man!
[JR] And the headbutt south of the beltline.
-And… -[Lawler] Where?
[JR] Oh, this has gotta be all here. This has gotta be it.
A headbutt right into the groin area. I don't know how this kid's kicking out.
He is going on guts, is Jeff Hardy.
[Lawler] He's like me, he's tough. I think my rib's all right.
[JR] I don't think he's that tough. You're a tough man, King.
[Lawler] I know.
[JR] And D-Von Dudley showing his toughness with those right hands.
These 30,000 fans trying to get The Hardys, Edge, and Christian
back into this thing.
-And, somehow, Jeff… Oh, my God! -[Lawler exclaiming]
-[JR] Clothesline right out of midair! -[screaming]
D-Von almost took Jeff Hardy's head off.
-[Lawler] You gotta love it. -[JR] And Bubba Ray in,
the half-brother of D-Von Dudley. They got the same father, you know?
[Lawler] That was beautiful. That was just… I mean, it was classic.
[JR] Jeff Hardy, I don't know how he's even standing up or moving around.
Jeff, make the tag.
Hardy going back for more offense. And he paid. What a powerbomb.
That's gotta be all right there. That has gotta be all right there.
[Lawler] Let's do a little testifying now.
[JR] Jeff got folded up like an accordion with that powerbomb by Bubba Ray Dudley.
[Lawler] Pin him! Cover him! He's done.
[JR] We talk about eliminating your competition,
The Dudleys and The New Age Outlaws would love to do that.
[Lawler] Watch this, JR. This will give you a headache for sure.
Oh, man!
[JR] The whiplash there was amazing.
[Lawler] Went down so fast, the cameraman couldn't follow.
[JR] Now, later on tonight, we know that The Rock, Cactus Jack, and Kane,
they gotta co-exist against Triple H, The Big Show, and X-Pac.
That six-man war is gonna be live, right here tonight from the Georgia Dome.
Over 30,000 fans on hand.
-[Lawler] Look at this! -[JR] The New Age Outlaws--
A double DDT!
Somehow, someway, Jeff Hardy used leverage
and the own momentum of The Outlaws to put down the Tag Team Champions.
[Lawler] Road Dogg is… He's out, face down.
Oh, he's moving.
[JR] This match is gonna have a huge bearing, in my view,
on this Sunday's Tag Team Championship Match-Up at No Way Out.
[Lawler] Look at The Dudleys, they are hot!
[JR] An what a pay-per-view it's gonna be this Sunday.
Edge waiting for the tag, has yet to see action in this match-up.
[Lawler] Get in the corner, Edge.
[JR] Jeff Hardy isolated, and Mr. Ass holding on.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[JR] There's a tag!
And Edge got the tag! Oh, my God! The spear. Down goes The Road Dogg!
-[Lawler] Oh, no! -[JR] And, now, Mr. Ass!
There's the cover! Will this be enough?
I guess it would have been,
but Bubba Ray Dudley interrupted the count.
[Lawler] Just in time! Just in the nick of time!
[JR] You had a feeling it was gonna blow up here.
All eight men in the ring!
All eight are in the ring.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[JR] Out went D-Von Dudley.
-[Lawler] There go a couple of 'em. -[JR] And The Dudleys down on the outside.
-[Lawler] Oh, look at this! -[JR] Mr. Ass hooking up Edge. Oh!
The Jackhammer! That could be all there.
-[Lawler screams] -Oh, my God!
[crowd clamoring]
[Lawler] What's that idiot doing?
[JR] What a suicide-like move by Matt Hardy on The Dudleys.
[Lawler] He hurt himself. This is bad!
-[JR] Oh, Christian up! -[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Crossbody! Lands on… That was on Matt Hardy.
[Lawler] No, you idiot! You hit the wrong guy! [laughs]
[JR] They're leaving Edge now by himself with The New Age Outlaws.
-[Lawler] Famouser! -[JR] The Famouser. And… Oh, wait.
D-Von Dudley. This match is over. D-Von just…
-[JR] Bubba Ray's got a-- -[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Bubba Ray Dudley just hit his own partner, Mr. Ass,
with a steel chair.
[Lawler] Everybody's confused here. Oh, look at this!
-[JR] The Road Dogg now… -[Lawler] No!
[JR] Senton bomb! Jeff Hardy got the senton bomb!
[Lawler] Wait a minute! Look at this!
-[JR] Now, Edge is the legal man. -[bell rings]
[Lawler] Who won?
[crowd clamoring]
[JR] What have we got here?
[Lilian] Your winners, The Hardys, and Edge and Christian!
-[Lawler] No! -[crowd cheering]
Did you see what was happening at the end?
-["You Think You Know Me" playing] -[JR] Guess Jeff Hardy got the three.
[Lawler] But Edge was trying to get it. Nobody's getting along.
[JR] Edge was the legal man, quite frankly.
And The Hardys now, and Edge and Christian having some words.
And we saw what The Dudleys did to The Outlaws,
the damage with that steel chair
that, quite frankly, cost Mr. Ass the match-up.
[Lawler] Opponents had to become partners,
but I think partners quickly became opponents.
Unbelievable.
[JR] Let's take another look. It was chaotic.
[Lawler] Let's see if we can figure out what happened here.
Mr. Ass had been leveled by that chair from Bubba Ray Dudley.
Then, he got the senton bomb.
But look.
[JR] And the referee got a three-count. You saw the hand go down for three.
But Edge was trying to get the cover.
-[Lawler] Wow. -[JR] It's a bad night for The Outlaws.
Will it be a bad night for DX later here tonight
in that huge Six-Man Tag Match?
-["Protection" playing] -[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[JR] Well, The Acolytes, we saw them…
Well, the last time we saw them was with Mae Young.
They were having a card game.
And the card game was certainly going Mae's way.
-Straight flush. See that? Straight flush. -Whoa, whoa.
Mae, you smoked all our cigars.
You drank all our beer.
And won all our money.
[Bradshaw] All our money.
What could you possibly want?
What could I possibly want? Here. Take all this money back.
-Huh? -Take it all back. You can have it all.
And come with me. Come on. Come on.
Hey, get the money, man.
[JR] I don't know who was protecting who. Supposedly, Mark Henry paid The Acolytes
to protect Mae Young.
-[Lawler] Oh. -["Sexual Chocolate" playing]
Uh-oh. Here we go.
[JR] Gonna be a Six-Man Tag Team Match-Up here.
Mark Henry and The Acolytes to meet The Hollys and Viscera.
And it's certainly a… almost a near catastrophe.
Keep your eye on Mae Young here.
Watch her get knocked down by Crash Holly in this melee.
[Lawler] I thought that was it for Mae. She's in a delicate condition.
But, instead, she called out the cavalry.
[JR] It was Mark Henry against The Hollys in a no disqualification
handicap match on SmackDown Thursday.
And The Acolytes earned their money.
They took care of The Hollys, especially Crash.
And it was Mark Henry getting the duke.
[Lawler] Thanks to Mae Young.
[JR] Mae is pregnant with Mark Henry's love child,
I suppose you can say.
-Where is Mae? -["Slow Death" playing]
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] She's not coming out
She believes that regularity is more important than popularity.
Oh, man.
[JR] The Holly cousins. Crash on your left,
and Hardcore, along with the close-to-500-pounds Viscera.
Coming to the ring for the Six-Man Tag Team Match-Up.
Don't forget, still to come, a six-man match tonight,
The Rock, Cactus Jack, and Kane against Triple H, The Game, and X-Pac.
And here we go.
Mark Henry got some scores to settle with The Hollys.
I don't think he got all the retribution he wanted
for their improper remarks regarding Mae Young
last Thursday night on SmackDown.
[Lawler] What is an improper remark regarding Mae Young?
[JR] They said a lot of very impolite things. She is a lady.
She may be an older lady. She may be pregnant.
Oh, my God. Look at that!
Viscera handling Bradshaw like Bradshaw was a lightweight.
Viscera, almost seven feet, close to 500 pounds.
And Bradshaw gonna get manhandled here.
"Elroy" Crash Holly getting the tag.
-[Lawler] Another super-heavyweight there. -[JR] Oh, in his mind.
[crowd chanting] Elroy!
[Lawler] Oh, listen to these people. They're calling him Elroy.
Oh, look out!
[JR] There is a little Elroy Jetson in him.
Nice fallaway slam there by Bradshaw. Makes the tag to his partner, Faarooq.
The Acolytes Protection Agency is quite the entrepreneurial investment.
[Lawler] I don't think Crash takes kindly to people calling him Elroy Jetson.
[JR] And Hardcore gets the tag. Man, what a slam! What a…
Leg is hooked!
And referee Teddy Long got a two-count out of that powerslam from Faarooq.
[Lawler] Like Mae Young doesn't take kindly to guys talking about her puppies.
[JR] Beautiful dropkick. Her what?
[Lawler] She called them puppies. I've seen bigger lumps in oatmeal.
But Mark Henry must like 'em.
[JR] Mark Henry likes… What are those,
-edible underwear? -[Lawler] Never mind.
-[JR] Don't wanna go there? -[Lawler] No.
-[JR] Weak stomach. -[Lawler chuckles] No.
The only thing uglier than that would be Ally Mac naked.
[JR] Oh, what a knockdown by Hardcore Holly
on "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry,
another member of the '96 Olympic team here in Atlanta.
And, boy, look at the size of Viscera. He makes Mark Henry look small.
[Lawler] The only thing worse than edible panties is edible Depends. Oh.
[JR] Viscera now. Now, Mark Henry isolated in that corner. Viscera…
Some nice smashes now, straight ahead into offense.
Nothing too fancy about Viscera's attack.
[Lawler] Sorry, JR, that remark about Depends was tasteless, wasn't it?
[JR] Yeah.
Mark Henry just got completely engulfed there by Viscera.
And the end may be near for The World's Strongest Man.
Oh, no! That would've taken that air and everything out of Mark Henry,
that 500-pound body… that splash.
Tag made, Bradshaw back in. Oh!
And so is Crash Holly. And don't call him Elroy.
[Lawler] Crash, you should've made a U-turn right there. Oh, no.
[JR] Things don't look good for Crash. This ride is gonna be rough.
I got a feeling this landing is gonna be pure hell.
-[Lawler] Oh, no. -[JR] Oh, Bradshaw's on the top rope.
-Oh, my God! -[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Belly-to-back suplex right off the top rope!
[Lawler] That's it. He's history.
[JR] Bradshaw down himself,
after delivering that belly-to-back suplex off the top.
Bradshaw, can he make the cover? This one's gotta be over.
This will be it here.
And Hardcore Holly, sensing the same thing, interrupted the count.
Here's Mark Henry. There's Faarooq.
Oh, low blow by Crash Holly. And there goes Mark Henry.
[Lawler] He'll be fine. Told you he's a super-heavyweight.
-Uh-oh. -[JR] Oh, this ain't good for Crash.
-[Lawler] That'll have him seeing rockets. -[JR] A double team!
-And yes, indeed, that's three. -[bell ringing]
The Acolytes and Mark Henry have won this match-up.
[Lilian] …The Acolytes and "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry!
[JR] Mark Henry is lying in front of our announce table.
-[Lawler] Hey, look at this. -[JR] There's Mae Young.
-[Lawler] Mae Young's here! -[JR] Pregnant Mae Young.
Almost 80 years old. Oh!
[Lawler] Look at that! She's putting the boots to Crash!
[JR] Mae is stomping away at Crash Holly
for those remarks that he and his cousin made last Thursday on…
Oh, damn you!
-[Lawler] Didju see that? -[JR] Damn you, Hardcore!
-[Lawler] Hardcore's got a big smile. -[JR] Wait a minute. No. Come on.
No, wait a minute. Now hold on.
-[Lawler] Wait! -[JR] A clothesline's enough! No!
-[crowd clamoring] -Don't do it! Oh, for God's sakes!
For the love of God!
500 pounds right on the chest cavity of the 80-year-old pregnant Mae Young.
[Lawler] Chest cavity? It was right on her pregnant stomach, JR.
[JR] Oh, God.
These three human beings oughta be horsewhipped.
Mark Henry getting back in the ring and…
The EMTs rushing here to tend to Mae Young.
-[Lawler] Oh, my gosh! -[JR] This is hideous!
The Hollys and Viscera should damn sure be ashamed of themselves.
[Lawler] JR, do you think after that splash, she's gonna lose the--
-[JR] Oh, let's not talk about that. -[Lawler] Lose the baby?
[JR] We know she's pregnant. And I cannot believe Hardcore Holly--
[Lawler] Oh, let's look at this. Look at Mae Young.
-She couldn't believe it. -[JR] She got clotheslined!
Hardcore Holly with a smile on his face. And, then, this.
-[Lawler] Oh, my gosh. Watch this. Oh! -[JR] It's sickening!
Mae Young just got splashed by a 500-pound man.
Oh, Mae is hurt badly.
What the hell else could happen here tonight?
[JR] Ladies and gents, we are back on Raw.
We're still in shock of what we saw moments ago.
Yeah, so, Mae Young got a little bit overzealous.
And that momentum was taken off by a smiling Hardcore Holly.
Look at the eyes of Viscera before he splashed Mae Young.
Look at Viscera. He enjoyed that, King. That's not right.
-[Lawler] Oh, that's bad. -[JR] She's an 80-year-old woman.
-[Lawler] And pregnant. -[JR] She's with child.
-Come on, man. Hurry up. Do something! -[JR] Uh-oh. Now we're back live with you.
[Mark Henry] Jesus!
[JR] This is absolutely repulsive.
Fabulous Moolah there in the ambulance.
[Mark Henry] Come on. Yeah, yeah. Move! Move!
[JR] Viscera… This was uncalled for.
Mae's longtime friend Moolah there, and Mark Henry in there.
[man] Go, go, go!
[JR] We'll get you an update on this, folks, as soon as we can.
[Lawler] I was looking forward to seeing a little…
["Radicalz" playing]
[bell rings]
[Lilian] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 220 pounds,
from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada,
Chris Benoit!
[JR] And we are live down North America,
including TSN in Canada and the USA Network.
Chris Benoit, just one week ago,
went one-on-one with "The Great One" The Rock.
And with an assist on The Big Show, it was Benoit defeating The Rock.
Big Show from behind. You see that.
Nailing The Rock. And, then, Benoit able to score, after that assault,
the belly-to-back suplex, and pin The People's Champion,
one, two, three.
[Lawler] The back of Rock's head got slammed twice,
once by The Big Show into the floor
and, then, second time into that mat by Chris Benoit.
But, nonetheless, Benoit got a huge victory.
[JR] And here comes Test.
[Lilian] His opponent weighing in at 282 pounds, Test!
[JR] Test has healed from his injury.
His multiple-time broken nose has been healed.
-And Test, now… -[Lawler] Look at him.
[JR] …ready to get back and get it on…
[Lawler] What's he all hot about?
[JR] …with this Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit.
And Test… Oh, Benoit reversed the table on him.
And look at those knife edge chops by Benoit.
[Lawler] Test's got a bad attitude.
[JR] And this crowd of over 30,000 here.
We expect a huge crowd tomorrow night in Nashville, Tennessee,
and this Wednesday night in Little Rock, Arkansas.
As Benoit in with those hard knife edge chops.
Finding their mark, but Test…
-Nice leg-to-leg takedown by Benoit. -[Lawler] Test better calm down.
He better find out an attitude adjustment today,
'cause the nose, it won't have to be set tomorrow.
-Remember that, Test. -[JR] Test has had a lower back problem,
he's had broken noses, several of them.
He's healed. He's healthy. And, boy, he looks good here.
There's the cover. The powerbomb.
And a near fall.
Test looks to be in great shape.
Been gone for a few weeks.
[Lawler] I guess Test figures, Benoit gets a win over The Rock…
Uh-oh! Hey, look at this.
[JR] Saturn and Malenko, Benoit's fellow Radicalz,
watching this one.
Of course, The Radicalz, Benoit, Malenko, and Saturn
against Rikishi and Too Cool at No Way Out.
What a suplex! Belly-to-back suplex. And look, the waist lock.
Benoit holding on to the waist lock. That's the second suplex there.
[Lawler] Not another one.
Benoit, is he gonna… Oh.
Benoit trying to go for another, work on that injured back.
I guess, testing that back of Test.
Oh.
Nice reversal. Oh, inverted atomic drop.
[Lawler] I gotta ask, you talk about The Radicalz.
What's gonna happen with this… Eddie Guerrero against Rikishi?
That's next, and these guys are both…
-[JR] And it's no disqualification. -[Lawler] Hey, look at this.
-Oh, look who's kinda sneaking down here. -[JR] I see him.
I see, that's Eddie Guerrero right there. And what… Eddie Guerrero's got?
What's he got in his hand?
[Lawler] Well, he's got a cast or… he's in a sling there.
[JR] Eddie Guerrero on the outside.
I don't know how he's gonna be able to compete.
Uh-oh, look out.
-Benoit. -[Lawler] What's he doing there?
-[JR] Test trying to muscle Benoit. -[Lawler] He knows he's next.
-He's gonna-- -[JR] Eddie Guerrero with that one arm.
Just enough to pull up… Oh!
Test just got nailed in the back… with whatever.
[Lawler] Hey, ref. See anything?
What's he doing?
[JR] Eddie Guerrero making his presence felt here.
And, now, "The Rabid Wolverine" Chris Benoit, up on top.
Oh, man!
Flying Headbutt, right in the heart of Test!
[Lawler] Just missed his nose.
-[bell rings] -["Radicalz" playing]
[JR] Eddie Guerrero…
[Lilian] Here's your winner, Chris Benoit!
[JR] So Eddie Guerrero, for some reason, is gonna take on Rikishi tonight
in a no disqualification matchup.
But are you trying to tell me the referee didn't see Eddie Guerrero's actions?
[Lawler] I'm not trying to say it.
[JR] I mean, he was standing on the apron.
[Lawler] Standing on the apron, nothing wrong with that.
[JR] Uh-oh, there he is.
Right, here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, there you see him.
The Rock, Cactus Jack, and Kane, they're gonna get together,
and they're gonna collide with Triple H, The Big Show, and X-Pac.
That match is tonight!
[presenter] And now, the WWE Free For All, presented by PhoneFree.com,
who makes calling long distance free for all, anywhere over the Internet.
[Lawler] No! Oh, man!
[Cole] I think they've snapped Rikishi's ankle in half!
[referee] Mr. Guerrero insists
that I announce him as the winner by forfeit.
[Cole] Oh, and he's happy about it.
[Lawler] Of course! He got a huge win over Rikishi!
-[Cole] Oh, you stop! -[presenter] PhoneFree.com.
Let freedom ring.
["U Look Fly Today" playing]
[JR] Man, that was an injustice last Thursday night on SmackDown.
That forfeit victory.
Rikishi injured, unable to compete on Thursday night.
Eddie Guerrero… And there's Rikishi.
[Lawler] Oh, look at the crutches.
[JR] Those are, well, I was told, reinforced steel crutches
to support that close to 400 pounds, little over 400 pounds, of Rikishi.
This guy, we heard it earlier, shouldn't even be here competing tonight.
A normal human being would have had his ankle shattered.
-And, again, The Radicalz looking on. -[Lawler] They gotta like this.
Big smiles.
[JR] Malenko, Saturn, and Benoit.
Look at Rikishi on one leg.
I guarantee you, I was gonna say, a normal human being without his ankle,
his foot shattered at the hands of The Radicalz…
But Rikishi, obviously, is not normal.
[Lawler] You're not lying. Turn around. Prove it.
[JR] Rikishi wanted this contest.
He's not gonna back away from nothing, this big man.
-And remember, it's no disqualification. -["Radicalz" playing]
As over 30,000 fans look on hand here tonight in the Georgia Dome.
You're not looking Too Cool, ese.
What happened? Did you get hurt?
What'd you do?
Put too much weight on it?
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
Then again, that's hard not to do.
I know. You hurt it two-stepping.
Better yet, I know what happened, you heard it doing the bump.
And I'm not talking about your ass dimples.
[Lawler] Mmm-mmm.
Now wait a minute, sweet cheeks, don't go anywhere.
[crowd chanting] Eddie, you suck! Eddie, you suck! Eddie, you suck!
Since…
this is a no disqualification match,
and your ultimate goal in life is to be on Dance Fever,
I'm gonna show you a new step.
And believe me, brother, it's a killer!
[Lawler] Dance Fever?
[JR] Show's been off the air for years.
-[Lawler] What's going on here? -[JR] Rikishi!
-[Lawler] Wait a minute! -[JR] Those steel crutches
right in the head of Eddie Guerrero.
[Lawler] Look, he's walking around, he's not even limping!
-What's the deal here? -[JR] Rikishi dragging Eddie Guerrero.
He just put Eddie's injured arm right on Eddie Guerrero's chest!
[Lawler] And he's putting all his weight on that left leg!
[JR] That's over 400 pounds. Look out below!
And that's the three count. This no disqualification match-up is over.
-["U Look Fly Today" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] They say it's not over till the fat lady sings.
In this case, it's not over till a fat guy sits on you!
How'd he do that, JR?
-Hey, look at this! -[JR] Wait a minute! The Radicalz!
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[JR] Malenko, Benoit, and Saturn!
-Now, it's three on one. -[bell ringing]
-[crowd cheering] -And here comes Too Cool!
[Lawler] Oh, look out!
-[JR] Too Cool. -[Lawler] They got crutches, too!
-[JR] Too Cool armed with those crutches. -[Lawler] Hey!
[JR] Too Cool armed with those crutches to use them like weapons here.
[Lawler] They just busted a crutch over the head of… Oh, man. Look out!
[JR] Too Cool and Rikishi teeing off on The Radicalz!
These six men will collide this Sunday at No Way Out.
But right now, there's no way out for The Radicalz.
[Lawler] Oh, no, look at this!
Rikishi's got Perry Saturn!
[JR] Oh, Rikishi!
Saturns' bald head bounced off the canvas like a basketball!
[Lawler] I thought Rikishi had a bad ankle.
[JR] It must have… It is bad, but…
it ain't that bad. He sucked it up,
'cause he's one tough 400-pounder.
And The Radicalz are gonna find out this Sunday on pay-per-view
just how tough Too Cool and Rikishi can be.
-[Lawler] Look at this crowd, JR. -["U Look Fly Today" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Rikishi about to leave the ring. He's…
[cheering intensifies]
He's gotta take some weight off that foot.
[Lawler] Yeah, but these people wanna see him get down and dance!
That girl had a sign that said, "Dance with me, Rikishi."
[cheering continues]
[JR] Many of these 30,000 on their feet here.
[Lawler] He's gonna dance with one leg? He's getting the shades.
[Lawler chuckles]
[JR] Gotta have an adrenaline rush here for Rikishi.
-Gotta be all he's running off… -[Lawler] Oh, look at this!
-[JR] …is adrenaline. -["U Look Fly Today" continues playing]
[Lawler shrieks]
[JR] One leg and all, Rikishi, along with Too Cool!
[Lawler] Look at this!
[crowd cheering]
Oh, no!
[JR] Huge Six-Man Tag Team Match-Up at No Way Out.
Not to mention the six-man war we've got here tonight.
[Lawler] That's the biggest pair of sesame seed buns I've ever seen!
-["U Look Fly Today" continues playing] -[crowd cheering]
[JR] We're back live on Raw at the Georgia Dome. And, King,
who do you think's going for the ride in the DX Express tonight?
[Lawler] Well, my sources tell me the baggage compartment
has been enlarged on the DX Express,
so that means all of 'em could go, JR.
Cactus Jack, you know DX's tactics, and you just saw the DX Express bus.
Do you think you may be taking a ride on the bus tonight?
Do I really look like I give a damn if I take a ride on a bus?
If I do, I'll stick out my thumb, and I'll ride right back!
What concerns me… No, no. What obsesses me, it's the look.
It's the look that I have to have, that I want to have,
that I cannot stop thinking about!
It's the look on Triple H's face when I stand…
Get down on the ground, Michael. Just lay down. Lay down on the ground.
Lay down on the ground!
Now, look up at me standing over you, and what do you feel?
-Does it feel good? -No.
-Does it scare you? -Yes!
Now, Stand up and try to imagine
that I'm not just standing over top of you,
Imagine the feeling that will be going through Triple H's mind
when I am standing 16 feet in the air.
That means when the elbow is cocked, I am over 23 feet.
from the point of impact.
I gotta be honest with you, I cannot get the thought out of my mind.
I think about it day and night more than I think about winning the damn match!
But I've gotta win the damn match! Do you know why?
Because if I don't, Michael Cole, I'm done!
Done!
Mick Foley, Cactus Jack, Mankind, and Dude Love will never wrestle again!
So, what I'm saying to you is this, I will fly off the cage.
And if I've gotta show up at WrestleMania with the use of a walker, I will!
Because it's the one thing I've never done,
it's the one thing I've gotta do!
And at Hell in a Cell, you can damn sure bet
it will be the one thing I do do!
Bang, bang!
[JR] My God, I shudder to think what could happen this Sunday
if he does come out that cage.
There you see Tazz.
He's a human suplex machine, and he's about to go one-on-one
with one of the toughest men in this game, King.
-We're talking about The Big Boss Man. -[Lawler] Oh, yeah!
[JR] The Big Boss Man and Tazz get it on, and they do it next!
The Outlaws left.
After what the Dudleys did to 'em, they went after The Dudley Boyz.
But don't worry about it.
The three of us, we're gonna get this job done.
All right? Let's do this! All right?
-[Stephanie] Open it up. -Get that up.
-[whooping] -Somebody's taking a ride.
[JR] No doubt, somebody's going for a ride.
The Outlaws are looking for The Dudleys.
And Tazz, momentarily, will be looking for The Big Boss Man.
[Lawler] The baggage compartment's already open! Oh, my!
["13" playing]
[bell rings]
[Lilian] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring,
from the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, New York,
weighing in at 250 pounds, Tazz!
[JR] Well, Tazz, along with The Rock, if he's able, and The Radicalz,
will be on our huge WWE.com webcast right after we go off the air,
sometime after 11:00 Eastern time tonight.
Go to WWE.com now for all the details.
[Lawler] Man, that's a show after the show, isn't it?
Unbelievable!
JR, PhoneFree.com presents No Way Out.
PhoneFree.com, free long-distance calls over the internet!
No Way Out will be live this Sunday, exclusively on pay-per-view,
from the sold-out Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut.
[JR] We're sold out this Sunday. We got over 30,000 fans out here tonight.
Tickets don't last long, folks, and they go on sale this Saturday.
[Lilian] His opponent, from Cobb County, Georgia,
weighing in at 305 pounds.
The Big Boss Man!
[JR] Big Boss Man, from north of here, Cobb County, Georgia.
A lot of times, the tickets go on sale real quickly here.
In Fort Lauderdale, in Tampa, and in State College, Pennsylvania,
this Saturday for live WWE extravaganzas.
And I promise you, folks, they won't last long.
How long will The Boss Man, or how long will Tazz,
this human wrecking machine, last in this one-on-one contest?
[Lawler] This is gonna be good, JR.
[JR] And The Big Boss Man, with all his experience.
[Lawler] You don't like The Big Boss Man, do you?
[JR] Well, I respect his ability.
Oh, man! Tazz, driving those forearms right in the face of The Big Boss Man.
I somewhat question The Boss Man's character,
but his in-ring skills are certainly noteworthy.
[Lawler] But you're impressed by Tazz, this human wrecking machine from Brooklyn.
[JR] This guy's been an overachiever all his life, has Tazz.
Everybody all his life has said, "You can't do it. You can't do that.
You can't be a stud. You can't be a great competitor."
[Lawler] Boss Man's dealt with a lot of guys all his life that people--
[JR] Oh, look out!
Boss Man tried to take Tazz's head off with those steel steps!
Tazz thrown in the ring by The Big Boss Man.
Man, I'll tell you one thing, it's gonna be…
You heard Triple H, The Big Show, and X-Pac.
They're gonna get together tonight.
It's gonna be a war with The Rock, Cactus Jack, and Kane.
That match is live here tonight.
[Lawler] And the baggage compartment on the DX Express is wide open!
[JR] You gotta believe somebody is gonna go for a ride tonight.
And, King, you think it could be Rock or Cactus or Kane or--
[Lawler] I think they'll have to zero in on Rock.
The Rock missed the ride last time. He needs a ride. Ride for The Rock…
-Oh, look at this! -[JR] Oh, Tazz has got that…
that Tazmission.
And Boss Man's reaching for his nightstick.
Tazz has got the Tazzmission locked in.
Boss Man trying to beat Tazz off of him!
-[bell ringing] -Boss Man using his night stick
to hammer at Tazz, and Tazz is holding on like a pit bulldog!
[Lawler] What's the referee ringing the bell for?
-Tazz has illegal hold on him. -[JR] That's Prince Albert.
Prince Albert, The Boss Man's protege,
-for the lack of a better term in here. -[bell ringing]
Oh, look out.
Prince Albert, 6'7, 350.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
[JR] Oh, and what a neckbreaker!
And The Boss Man and Prince Albert now putting the bad mouth on Tazz.
[Lawler] Told you The Boss Man knows how to deal with street thugs.
[JR] Well, the nightstick was right in Tazz's throat,
about his head and ears.
And, then, that huge neckbreaker by Prince Albert.
The Boss Man and Prince Albert have assaulted Tazz!
And speaking of assault, you're gonna see plenty of it.
Who's gonna go for a ride in the DX Express?
The war is next!
♪ Well, well it's The Big Show ♪
[JR] We're back live, ladies and gentlemen!
He is 7'2, 500 pounds,
one-third of a six-man tag team combination,
a man that wants to go to WrestleMania to meet the WWE Champion.
He'll get that opportunity this Sunday at No Way Out when he faces The Rock.
But, earlier tonight, The Big Show was a one-man calvary, King,
when he came to the ring with a steel chair.
[Lawler] And I tell you, he did a number on Kane!
And, then, he laid out The Rock, just like he's gonna do this Sunday, JR.
He's making a statement! He's sending a message to The Rock!
[JR] Big Show and The Rock on pay-per-view. It's this Sunday.
Winner-take-all!
The winner meets the WWE Champion at WrestleMania.
And who will it be, the champion at WrestleMania?
Will it be Cactus Jack or will it be The Game?
-["Are You Ready?" playing] -[bell rings]
[Lilian] This following is a Six-Man Tag Team contest.
Making their way to the ring,
being accompanied by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Tori.
at a combined weight of 482 pounds,
X-Pac and the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion, Triple H!
[JR] Not only is Triple H gonna meet Cactus Jack inside Hell in a Cell,
Cactus Jack must win the WWE Title this Sunday at No Way Out
or Cactus Jack's career is over!
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you, JR, it's a scary thought
when I visualize what Cactus Jack said he was gonna do this Sunday.
Cactus Jack climbing to the top of that cell.
I mean, do you realize how far in the air that is?
And he said he's gonna
drop that elbow on Triple H from the top of that cage. Unbelievable.
-[JR] And Cactus-- -[Lawler] Oh!
Cactus will be aiming for The Game's heart.
-What a death-defying move. -["Slow Chemical" playing]
[Lilian] Their opponents, introducing first,
being accompanied by Paul Bearer,
weighing in at 326 pounds, Kane!
[JR] Kane and X-Pac, this Sunday at No Way Out, will be No Holds Barred.
Anything and everything will be legal when X-Pac and Kane go one-on-one
this Sunday on pay-per-view.
-["Whole Lotta Groove" playing] -[crowd cheering]
He's psychotic!
He has evil, evil intentions!
He's Cactus Jack!
-[Lawler] He's suicidal, JR! -[Lilian] …Cactus Jack!
[Lawler] He thinks he's gonna jump off the top of that hell in a cell cage
on to Triple H. He's suicidal!
-Uh-oh, look out. -[JR] Cactus Jack!
Cactus Jack and Kane not waiting on their tag team partner, The Rock!
This six-man war is underway
in front of 30,000 in Atlanta's Georgia Dome!
[crowd clamoring]
Triple H and Cactus!
♪ If you smell what The Rock is cooking ♪
[JR] You can smell it! You can feel it! You can taste it!
He's "The People's Champion" The Rock!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Here he comes!
[JR] And The Rock going right for The Big Show!
[Lawler] He's laying the SmackDown on The Big Show!
[JR] Oh, my God! The 500-pound monster
went over the top at the hands of The Rock!
[Lawler] He got knocked out of the ring! I can't believe it.
[JR] Oh, for the love of God. This is gonna be chaotic.
Cactus Jack and Triple H hammering and hammering each other.
[Lawler] Oh, this is it, JR. Look out!
[JR] Triple H's face bounced right off our table!
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
[JR] By God, they're bodies everywhere!
The Big Show's head bouncing off the timekeeper's table!
Cactus Jack hammering away at the WWE Champion.
-Kane manhandling X-Pac! -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] Oh, The Rock's got a bell.
[Lawler] Referee, try to do something! Oh, watch yourself, JR. Look out!
[JR] For the love of God.
[JR] We got bodies knocked off, timekeepers, photographers!
[Lawler] Get that chair away from Cactus Jack!
[JR] And Triple H back in the ring.
-They're trying to pull Kane off X-Pac. -[Lawler] Stephanie, watch yourself.
-Tori, stay back. -[crowd clamoring]
[JR] Good God almighty! And Kane! A knockdown!
He knocked down half of DX in one shot!
Another right uppercut by The Big Red Machine.
[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Oh, my God!
And this is starting to almost get settled down here,
at least for the time being.
-Maybe for another moment or two. -[Lawler] Oh, watch out.
[JR] Kane following Triple H in with a thunderous clothesline.
And The Game, the WWE Champion in trouble,
-as The Rock and Cactus Jack look on. -[Lawler] Oh, there you go.
[JR] Hard right by The Game.
Hell in a Cell.
Somebody's gotta get hurt badly with the WWE Title on the line, Sunday.
[Lawler] Oh, no, you're right, JR.
[JR] Look at the power of The Big Red Machine.
[Lawler] Hell is not a place, hell is what hurts worst!
-We're gonna find out, Sunday. -[JR] Oh, what a shot!
-Oh, Kane… -[Lawler] Oh, look out!
[JR] …knocked down The Big Show and almost took X-Pac's head off.
And Triple H…
[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Again, another knockdown.
-And Kane makes an emphatic tag! -[Lawler] That's tough.
No way to treat The Game, and this is gonna be worse!
[JR] Look at The Rock open up with the right hands!
[Lawler] Oh, yeah.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Another knockdown, the clothesline by The People's Champion,
the man that wants to face the WWE Champion,
whomever it may be, at WrestleMania 2000.
Uh-oh.
Almost a low blow by Triple H. There's the Pedigree.
-[Lawler] Look at The Rock. -[crowd cheering]
[JR] Rock able to counter.
-[Lawler] Oh, no, not this. Oh! -[JR] Oh, the catapult!
And Triple H, nose first into the top turnbuckle.
Side Russian leg sweep! The Rock is cooking!
The leg is hooked! It could be over!
No!
-Near fall. -[Lawler] I thought it was close.
[JR] Very, very close.
[JR] Stay back, Stephanie! It's dangerous up there.
[JR] Look at Cactus Jack. He's begging The Rock for a tag.
-[Lawler] That idiot. -[JR] He wants Triple H.
[Lawler] He's psychotic! Suicidal! He wanted to do something bad!
[JR] Cactus's looking to inflict more bodily harm on The Game here.
[Lawler] Oh, he's biting him! Look at him!
[JR] Cactus isn't… It could be an animal. And he is an animal.
Got no regard for his own anatomy, and even less for Triple H.
[Lawler] There you go.
[JR] Cactus lowered his head and tanked one.
[Lawler] Knocked that one tooth he's got left out.
[JR] And Triple H desperately made a tag to X-Pac.
-And Cactus Jack! -[Lawler] Look at this!
[JR] Cactus Jack, bouncing X-Pac's head off the canvas!
Cactus Jack has gone mad here!
[Lawler] Gone mad? His mind's never been right, JR.
Look out!
[JR] Cactus Jack, perhaps his last night ever on Raw, inside the ring.
-[Lawler] Oh, we can only hope. -[JR] This Sunday's No Way Out
will tell the tale.
Cactus must win the title inside Hell in a Cell, or Cactus' career is over!
Could this be his last night on Raw?
-[Lawler] How long a career has he had? -[JR] He's been at it 15 years.
Baseball slide through X-Pac.
Could've broken a rib there.
[Lawler] Why would a man risk a 15-year career for one match?
-Put the boots to him! -[JR] For the WWE Title, that's why!
[Lawler] Oh, look out! What is this? Oh!
[JR] Cactus producing X-Pac right on the face of Helmsley.
-And, Cactus-- -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] Big Show with a headbutt, knocking down Cactus Jack.
[Lawler] That's why they call him The Show, JR.
[JR] The Big Show, 7'2, 500 pounds. And they're stomping him.
A mudhole to Cactus, and X-Pac's trying to walk him dry.
[Lawler] Yeah! Uh-oh, look out, JR!
-[JR] Come on! -[Lawler] This is bad!
Oh!
[JR] What are you guys… You're gonna break him in half!
[Lawler] What do you care, JR?
-Just call the match. -[JR] He's my friend, that's why.
Get him in the ring…
[Lawler] Looks like you're gonna be friendless, JR, after this Sunday.
[JR] Look at The Game, look at his mean streak.
Yes, he's got that mean streak. We saw that at the Royal Rumble,
when he was busted from ear to ear.
[Lawler] At least your friend did have a good, long career, JR.
[JR] His career's not over.
He's got one more dream to fulfill, one more,
and that's to be the WWE Champion at WrestleMania, to be in the main event.
[Lawler] Yeah, well, Triple H already beat Cactus at his own game
at the Royal Rumble.
[JR] Man, what a street fight that was, and we ain't seen nothing yet.
-This Sunday will be so emotional. -[Lawler] Look at Big Show.
[JR] So physically intense.
[Lawler] The Rock loves to talk about his $500 shirts.
Look at Big Show's shirt. It says it all. "Living large and in charge."
[JR] The Rock would love to get a tag right now to get in The Big Show's face,
I can guarantee it.
[Lawler] Ooh!
Uh-oh.
-[JR] Cactus, a right hand. -[Lawler] I thought I saw a tooth fly out.
[JR] And Cactus… Oh.
-Cactus on the back of the 500-pounder. -[Lawler] Is he crazy?
[JR] Trying to get a sleeper, I think, on The Big Show.
[Lawler] He'd be safer riding the bus than The Big Show.
[JR] Good Lord. Look at the size of The Big Show.
[Lawler] And he may be riding the bus, too. Boom!
[JR] Big Show just overpowered Cactus Jack there.
[Lawler] I told you.
[JR] He's 500 pounds, is that monster right there.
And he may be the man that meets the WWE Champion at WrestleMania 2000.
-[crowd jeering] -The Rock would love to get a tag.
[Lawler] Oh, look at that. Look at that look on Stephanie's face.
-She's… Look out! What happened? -[JR] Nobody there for that elbow.
Cactus got a reprieve. But can he make the tag?
Rock is…
-[Lawler] And look at Kane. -[JR] Like a caged lion on that apron.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[JR] Oh, there's a tag! There's the tag!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Hold on! Oh!
-[JR] The Rock hammering at The Big Show! -[Lawler] But he didn't go down.
He still didn't go down! He hit The Big Show!
[JR] What's it gonna take to knock The Big Show down?
-[Lawler] Oh, he got him! -[JR] A shot from the ropes
in the back of the head!
[crowd cheering]
The Rock knocked down X-Pac. And, now, The Rock in Triple H's face.
-[Lawler] Oh, laying the SmackDown! -[JR] What a right hand!
-Rock is on fire! -[Lawler] Look at this!
[JR] X-Pac went over the top rope!
[Lawler] He knocked The Game and X-Pac out of the ring! Look at this!
[JR] Double leg takedown! How the hell did The Rock do that?
-[Lawler laughs] -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Hey, JR, I think 30,000 people here in Atlanta, Georgia Dome,
are about to see the most electrifying move--
-Oh, no! -[JR] Triple H pull down the top rope.
-[Lawler] The Game did it! -[JR] The Rock got low bridged!
[Lawler] Look at this.
[JR] And that's Triple H and The Game stomping The Rock's ass.
[crowd clamoring]
-[Lawler] Oh my God, look out! -[JR] Oh, my goodness!
Shoulder first into the steel ring steps.
The People's Champion is down.
Paul Bearer having to restrain Kane on the outside.
Cactus Jack waiting for a tag. But there may be no tag here.
Another blatant chokehold. This is gonna be over right here.
-Those knees are on The Rock's heart. -[Lawler] It is over.
-This is it. -[JR] Big Show trying to bust Rock apart.
-Trying to bust-- -[Lawler] Look at these people.
-30,000 of 'em yelling The Rock's name! -[crowd chanting] Rocky! Rocky!
[JR] Big Show got the tag. The Game is in.
The Game, now, back in control.
-[Lawler] Wow. -[JR] Beautiful suplex. Perfectly done.
There's a cover. Will…
Rock got a shoulder up before the three.
The Rock got the shoulder up and would not stay down.
[Lawler] The Rock always claims to be The People's Champ.
He says his partner is the people.
Let's see how the people help you now, Rock.
[JR] Triple H going up top!
-[Lawler] What? -[JR] And draped off the top.
-Right off the top turnbuckle. -[Lawler] They're both down.
[JR] The Rock dropped Triple H right off the top turnbuckle!
And it's back to anybody's ball game here on Raw!
[crowd cheering]
Man, what a Six-Man Tag Team Match-Up.
[Lawler] Hunter's wife, Stephanie, is pleading with him to get up.
[JR] There may be no way out for any of these six men.
The toll they're taking on their bodies here tonight.
[Lawler] I think The Rock's about to make a tag!
-Get up, Game. Oh, no! -[JR] The Rock got the tag to Cactus!
Cactus and The Game. That's what Cactus wanted.
One-on-one with The Game.
-Oh, X-Pac in. Look out. -[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Cactus felt or saw or heard him coming.
[Lawler] Yeah, but he better feel this coming.
Oh, no, he did!
[JR] Low blow by Cactus Jack.
-[Lawler] I can't believe it. Uh-oh. -[JR] He's as evil as they come
when he wants to be, and he wants to be!
There's a double DDT, and there's a cover.
-Near fall. -[Lawler] I can't believe it.
[JR] X-Pac saved Triple H, in my view,
-from a three-count right there. -[Lawler] Oh.
[JR] X-Pac now pulling Cactus outside.
[Lawler] Oh, watch out! Oh!
[JR] Slams X-Pac. His head just bounced off the steel steps.
-[Lawler] What's this idiot doing? -[JR] Cactus is looking for a weapon
[Lawler] What? What's he got?
[JR] I think it's a… Looks like a fire extinguisher.
[Lawler] What's he gonna do with that?
[JR] Big Show intercepted Cactus Jack. Uh-oh.
-Oh, Kane. Kane's up on top! -[Lawler] No!
[JR] Kane, The Big Red Machine, went airborne.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] He came right down on The Big Show. Oh, no! Look out!
-[JR] Kane grabbing X-Pac! -[Lawler] X-Pac went airborne.
[JR] Kane wants to break X-Pac in half,
and he doesn't want to wait until Sunday night on pay-per-view.
-[Lawler] Oh, my God! -[JR] God, what a right hand by The Rock.
[Lawler] Get back, Stephanie.
[crowd clamoring]
That's my chair, Stephanie!
[JR] Stephanie got a… got a chair. Oh!
Triple H used the fire extinguisher right in Cactus' face,
and he got rid of the evidence!
Triple H knocked out Cactus with a fire extinguisher.
-And that will be three. Damn it! -[bell rings]
[Lawler] That'll put his fire out.
[Lilian] Here are your winners, The Big Show, X-Pac, and Triple H!
[Lawler] Cactus Jack has been cooled off!
[JR] Cactus Jack just got hit in the face with that fire extinguisher.
Right there, you see it.
And Triple H, as smart as he is, got rid of the evidence.
[Lawler] How ironic is that?
Cactus Jack was the moron that went up under the ring and grabbed--
[JR] They're fighting everywhere. That's The Rock and The Big Show!
[Lawler] Where are they at?
[JR] They're in another part of the arena here.
-[Lawler] Get him, Game! Get him, Game! -[JR] Kane must be somewhere with X-Pac.
-Yeah, Triple H hammering The Rock. -[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
[JR] There's Kane.
-[Lawler] Got a free-for-all back there. -[JR] They're right there on the concrete.
-[crowd clamoring] -I'm not…
X-Pac with a big shot to the face.
[Lawler] It's all right, Stephanie, get outta there. It's not safe.
[JR] Look at X-Pac, getting Kane in the face.
There's Cactus back up. He's gotta be in la-la-land.
He's going on instinct.
And The Rock, what a right hand again on The Big Show.
-This is a war. -[Lawler] Look, they got garbage cans! Oh!
-[JR] Cactus Jack just hit… -[Lawler] Stephanie, what are you doing?
-[JR] Oh, Stephanie just… -[Lawler] Get away, Stephanie!
Mrs. Triple H just hit Cactus in the face to no avail!
[Lawler] Don't you dare do it! Oh.
[JR] Cactus stalking Stephanie, until Triple H comes from behind.
[Lawler] You're right. He's a stalker! He's a psychotic, suicidal stalker!
[JR] Look at DX, they're gonna head for high ground.
It looks to me like they're gonna retreat.
[Lawler] Good. It's over. You won.
-[JR] DX, getting the hell out of here. -[Lawler] Yes.
[JR] I don't… I don't think it's gonna be over until Sunday.
It may never be over.
[Lawler] Get to safety! Look out, they're still coming.
[JR] Triple H and Stephanie are running for safety, I suppose.
[Lawler] You would too if that idiotic Cactus Jack… Oh, God, there he is.
[JR] There's Cactus, he's going for Triple H.
[Lawler] Can anyone stop him?
[JR] Triple H is trying to slow down Cactus' pursuit.
[Lawler] Maybe that forklift. Use anything.
[JR] Well, there may be no way out for Triple H.
[Lawler] Oh, yeah.
-[JR] Where're they going? -[Lawler] Get that driver. Get out and go!
-[JR] Oh, look out! Oh, no! Oh, God! -[Lawler shrieks]
[JR] Cactus just smacked down the DX Express!
[Lawler] What's he done? What is he doing? Look out!
There's no way out for Triple H!
Cactus Jack just smacked down the DX Express!
-[Lawler] Oh, my God! -[JR] And Triple H and Stephanie
are getting the hell out of Atlanta!
[Lawler] He's crazy! He's idiotic! He's suicidal!
[JR] Wait till No Way Out!
That man, Cactus Jack, could be our next champion!
Boy, what a smack down that was! ur next champion!
