[intro music playing]
Chris Benoit after attacking The Rock from behind like a coward.
[Lawler] Wait. Look at this.
[Ross] What the-- Chris Benoit with a steel chair.
Benoit with the crossface on The Rock.
Benoit, ripping and tearing at The Rock.
-After running from The Rock. -[Ross] Benoit is real tough here.
The crossface on the referee.
[Lawler] Woo-hoo.
Wait a minute, The Rock- The Rock wants Benoit.
A right hand to Benoit. The Rock's got Benoit.
[Lawler] Get away!
The Rock is still putting his WWE Title on the line at Fully Loaded.
If you smell…
-[Lawler] Whoa! -[Cole] Wait a minute, it's Benoit.
Chris Benoit from behind.
-An ambush on The Rock from behind. -[Lawler] Look at this.
Rock, I know that you can smell
that Chris Benoit will be
the next World Wrestling Entertainment Champion.
What do you think about that, Rock? Yeah. Yeah.
[Cole] Benoit from behind has taken out The Rock.

[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Fully Loaded on pay-per-view this is Sunday night,
but will the competitors in the three main events survive Raw tonight?
Will there be casualties in the next two hours?
And if so, who will they be?
Hello again, everybody, and welcome to our fans in New York City
at WWE, New York and wherever you may be.
I'm Jim Ross, alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler,
and we are Fully Loaded here tonight.
[Mick Foley's entrance theme playing]
[crowd cheering]
And here he comes, the commissioner of the World Wrestling Entertainment,
back from a week-long public relations tour of Southeast Asia.
King, he has been on an airplane almost 24 hours.
But Mick Foley is here. He's live tonight.
[Lilian] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the commissioner
of the World Wrestling Entertainment, Mick Foley.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] I was hoping maybe, JR,
that this guy would have gotten lost or misplaced,
or maybe missed his plane, or something, but unfortunately Mick Foley is back.
[Ross] Looks like they may have lost his luggage but who's counting.
Well, one thing is for sure.
[crowd chanting] Foley! Foley!
[Lawler] Listen to this ovation, this chants.
[crowd chanting] Foley! Foley!
Thank you, thank you.
[Lawler] I enjoyed it while he was gone.
I got to tell you one thing is for sure,
they love the WWE in Southeast Asia.
[crowd cheering]
But as much as they love it,
I'd like to say it sure is good to be back in the good old USA.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Because he thinks he's a patriot now.
Oh, I like a cheap pop as much as the next guy
and I haven't done this in about ten years.
So, why don't you all join me by saying USA!…
-[Lawler] Oh, no, wait a second. -USA!
[crowd chanting] USA! USA!
[Lawler] Give me a break.
[Ross] He's back home. He's happy.
[Lawler] I'm about to lose my lunch.
Speaking of cheap pops,
as much as I enjoy being back in the USA,
it is definitely great to be back in Albany, New York.
-[Lawler] Oh, boy, here we go again. -[crowd cheering]
He's there speaking of cheap pops isn't he?
Those pops are cheap and so is his wardrobe.
Thank you, I appreciate that
but there were certain things I did not appreciate
after reviewing last week's Raw.
I did not appreciate Triple H bending my authority.
[crowd chatter]
I did not appreciate him beating the crap out of Chris Jericho.
[Lawler] Oh, he did a great job. Triple H did a great job with that.
[Ross] Yeah, with a sledgehammer.
Now even though Chris is not scheduled to be here tonight…
-[Lawler] Go ahead. -…I did have a chance to speak to him
and he said he can't wait to get his hands on Triple H at Fully Loaded.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] That's this Sunday on pay-per-view.
But Chris also said he wants a special type of match,
a Last Man Standing Match.
[Lawler] What? Last Man Standing?
A type of match that is so barbaric,
that the only way to win is to inflict
a state of unconsciousness on your opponent.
So, after sitting back for about two seconds
and visualizing Triple H in a state of unconsciousness…
[Lawler] Hey, what's that, a dorsal fin?
…I said, "You've got it,
a Last Man Standing Match at Fully Loaded."
[Ross] Man, what a stipulation for Triple H and Jericho this Sunday.
And speaking of other things that I did not appreciate…
["Rest in Peace" playing]
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[Ross] What's going on here now? It's…
[Lawler] What do you think is going on?
You know whose music that is?
[Ross] I know whose music it is but why is The Undertaker here and now?
[Lawler] I hope he'll come out and straighten Foley out.
I mean, Foley's been back five minutes and already things are going south.
[Ross] The Undertaker's scheduled to meet Kurt Angle
this Sunday at Fully Loaded, one-on-one.
[Lawler] Well, but what's he doing here now right at this minute?
[Ross] I don't know but I got a big feeling we're about to find out…
at the sold out Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas.
The metroplex will be alive
for the pay-per-view extravaganza of the summer, Fully Loaded,
The Undertaker and Kurt Angle will get it on one-on-one in six days.
[Lawler] The American Badass against The Great American Hero in Kurt Angle.
Oh, he looks in a foul mood.
[crowd cheering]
Now, Mick, me and you, we go back a lot of years and a lot of wars, right?
So, I guess you could say you probably know me pretty well.
I know you pretty well, I could say that.
Well, then you of all people ought to know,
I don't appreciate the disrespect Kurt Angle has shown me lately.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Well, I can't believe you're even standing up
after Kurt Angle hit you with that sledgehammer.
I didn't appreciate when he cost Kane and I the Tag Team titles.
I didn't appreciate it when he threw a bunch of crap all over my bike.
[Lawler] Just celebrating.
And then he tries to offer some weak excuse,
a scooter and some lame apology just so I don't beat him up.
[Lawler] It wasn't that lame, it was sincere.
[Ross] Please, that's horrible.
You know, I think that boy is yellow.
-[Lawler] Kurt Angle? -He's scared, you know that right?
Right. I know, I know.
But the thing I appreciate the least
is when that little bastard hit me in the head
with a sledgehammer.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] That was Thursday night on SmackDown.
Well, 'Taker, maybe then there's something I can do
to make all of this right to you?
[Lawler] Oh, no.
Let me tell you what you're gonna do, Mick.
You are gonna make a match here, tonight.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
This is not good for Kurt.
[Ross] I don't like the sound of this.
With me and Kurt Angle.
[Ross] I like the sound of that.
[Lawler] No, wait. I don't think Kurt's ready!
And, Mick, if you don't make the match,
I'm gonna walk back there, I'm gonna find him
and I'm gonna hurt that boy and I'm gonna hurt him bad.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Wait a minute.
Listen here, if you're trying to intimidate me…
It worked.
-[Lawler] Oh, whoa! -[Ross] Oh, my god.
-[Lawler] What? -[Ross] What was that?
[indistinct]
[Ross] My god, it's The Big Red Machine.
It's the Undertaker's brother, Kane.
[Lawler] Oh, no. What's he doing here?
Things are going from bad to worse.
[Ross] A very auspicious start for Raw tonight.
First, The Undertaker interrupting the commissioner,
and now here comes Kane.
[Lawler] Maybe Mick Foley will forget about that Kurt Angle match now.
[Ross] Undertaker has called out Kurt Angle.
That's pretty darn clear to me.
[Lawler] Now, what's up?
-Tell me, he's gonna talk… -[Kane] So, you think
you've seen anarchy and chaos?
Well, you ain't seen nothing
until you see what I'll do tonight.
You ain't seen anarchy and chaos.
But you'll see it all through this building
unless you give my brother
what he wants.
-[Lawler] Oh, no. -Wait a second.
Listen, while you two guys were scaring the hell out of me,
I got an idea in my head that I certainly would like to see Kurt Angle
in this very ring tonight.
[Kurt on megatron] Uh, hello? Excuse me?
-I got to thinking… -[Kurt] Hey, guys?
-…in a month… -[Lawler] Look at this.
-Look at this! -Hello? I'm sorry to interrupt,
but again I would like to point out
as far as hitting you in the head with a sledgehammer, Undertaker,
I am really sorry about that.
I mean, I thought the singing telegram I sent you this week
was pretty clear on that.
-[Lawler] Huh? -I mean, nobody wanted to see
that happen, especially me.
Almost as much as nobody wants to see you and me fight at Fully Loaded.
What I'm trying to say is I had no intentions
of hitting you in the head with a sledgehammer.
I was going for Triple H.
-[Lawler] See? What did I tell you? -Wait, hey, Kurt, Kurt.
First off, let me say that
nobody appreciates your Olympic accomplishments more than I do.
Second off, I'd like to say nobody can understand wanting
to hit Triple H with a sledgehammer more than me.
[crowd cheering]
But I'm inclined to make a Tag Team contest tonight…
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
…pitting Kane and The Undertaker…
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Oh, this bad already.
…against you and your newfound good time party buddy, Triple H.
-Oh, not Triple H, no. -[Lawler] Oh, wait a minute.
[Ross] The Undertaker and Kane, Triple H and Angle tonight.
[Lawler] Yeah, but Kurt and Triple H they're not, they're not on the same page.
-[Ross] So, what? -[Lawler] Well.
[crowd cheering]
[Triple H] Mick. Hey, Foley…
Oh, I know that you and I don't always see eye-to-eye,
I know you got a problem with me.
Foley, I know you probably hate me more than anybody.
I mean, hell, you should.
I've beaten you bloody all across this country and back.
I mean, after all,
I am the guy that made it possible
that you never ever wrestle another match again as long as you live.
So, I know you hate me.
But, I mean, come on, Mick.
You can do what you want.
Sunday at Fully Loaded, you can book me in a Last Man Standing Match
with Chris Jericho, that's just fine.
But tonight, you wanna book me in a handicap match…
That's right.
…you wanna book me in a steel cage match.
You wanna book me in a handicap steel cage match, whatever, I don't care.
But, Foley, I'm begging you, I'm pleading with you,
please do not make me team up with this Olympic twerp.
-[Lawler] What? -[Ross] Twerp?
-[Lawler] Olympic twerp? -Twerp?
-[Lawler] Triple H. -I don't think I'm a twerp.
I don't think these people here tonight who don't have the common sense
to move the heck out of this decrepit town of "All-bany" don't think I'm a twerp.
[Lawler] "All-bany?"
And to be honest with you, Triple H,
I don't think your wife thinks I'm a twerp either, and that is true.
-[Ross] Well. -[Lawler] Uh-oh. Kurt…
[Triple H] I'll tell you what…
you don't hold up your end of this match tonight,
and you're gonna get the same thing as Jericho.
You're gonna end up a beaten bloody mess in that ring.
And as far as that goes, Angle, Foley, Kane, 'Taker,
just like this Sunday when it's said and done,
I will be the Last Man Standing because I am that damn good.
And that, jackass, it's true.
Oh, yeah, it's true.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh. These guys got to be partners?
Well, it looks like we've got ourselves a hell of a tag team match here.
-[The Rock's entrance theme playing] -[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] What now? -[Ross] What now is right!
Here comes the WWE Champion, The Rock,
the man that will face The Wolverine, Chris Benoit,
this Sunday as a part of the triple main event at Fully Loaded.
What a pay-per-view extravaganza it will be this Sunday night.
[Lawler] Well, I understand this Sunday night,
but what's Rock doing out here now?
What…
[Ross] The Rock to a standing ovation
before this capacity crowd in New York State Capital.
[Lawler] Don't you think it was a lot better
when Mick Foley was 10,000 miles away in Asia?
[Ross] Absolutely not.
I'm glad to see Mick back home.
[Lawler] Have you ever seen such chaos as tonight?
I mean, there is-- I'm confused.
Uh-oh.
[Ross] Undertaker and Kane against Kurt Angle and Triple H
already made here tonight.
[crowd chanting] Rocky! Rocky!
But what's on The Rock's mind?
[Lawler] What do you think is on The Rock's mind?
Last time we saw The Rock, he was laid out courtesy of Chris Benoit.
You don't see The Rock laid out too often.
[crowd cheering]
Now, Mick, seeing as you're in the mood to give the people what they want,
The People's Champ has a one-word request--
no, a one-word demand,
Benoit.
[Lawler] Oh, boy. He wants to see him tonight.
-He wants Benoit tonight. Man! -[crowd cheering]
Well, The Rock already knows that in six days at Fully Loaded,
he's got Benoit for the WWE Title.
But considering how The Rock feels tonight,
The Rock says it's gonna be The Rock, Benoit, WWE title match, tonight.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] See that?
-What-- How can he just… -[Ross] And The Rock is demanding that.
[Lawler] Watch Foley, he'll fold like paper.
I'm gonna say, rock, I guess I see a growing trend here.
As much as I'd like to see that match happen tonight--
-[Chris Benoit's entrance theme playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
[Ross] And now here comes Benoit and his friend, Shane McMahon,
but with the Tag Team Champions, Edge and Christian.
[Lawler] Finally, maybe someone gets straightened out.
[Ross] The Rock ready, willing, and able to put the title on the line tonight.
It doesn't Matter to me.
You wanna put the title on the line tonight?
That's great.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Benoit got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Let's look at what I've done to you over the past several weeks.
[Lawler] Yeah, think about this.
Every time I put you in the crossface…
[Chris laughs]
[Lawler] He's laughing.
I love to hear The Rock squeal.
Squeal, Rock.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
Rock's not laughing.
Whether I win the title tonight
or Sunday,
one way or another,
you will submit and tap out
because I'm the greatest technical wrestler in the WWE today.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Probably ever.
And I will be the next WWE Champion.
Prove me wrong, Rock.
-It doesn't Matter if it's tonight… -[Lawler] Oh, no!
…or if it's this Sunday at Fully Loaded.
[Lawler] It doesn't Matter!
Because you are looking at the next World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
in Chris Benoit.
-If you smell… -[Mick] Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on a second there, sport.
You don't rip off The Rock's catchphrases.
-[Lawler] Huh? -[crowd cheering]
Only I can rip off The Rock's catchphrases.
[Lawler] Oh, boy.
It just doesn't sound cool when you do it.
So get the picture straight, Shane.
I call the shots around here, not you. I make the matches, not you.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] He's drunk with power.
Let me put it this way, Shane-o.
Think of it this way…
I'm Tony Soprano
and you're the guy who cleans the toilet at the Bada Bing! Understand?
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Bada Bing?
Shane never cleaned a toilet in his life.
I can't help but notice that you brought your three Canadian friends
out here with you, didn't you? How are you doing, guys?
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Hey.
Thank you for asking.
[Lawler] These guys have been sick and hurt.
Because we're feeling totally better, Mick.
You know, not "ready to defend our titles" better,
but we're better, nonetheless.
[Lawler] Not 100%, probably.
So you're not ready to defend those titles, huh?
Guys, there were a lot of times during my career
where I may have had a case of the sniffles
or a bad back and didn't feel like wrestling.
But I always did. And you know why?
Because I had something and still do
that apparently you two gentlemen lack,
that being a set of testicles.
-[Lawler] What? -[crowd cheering]
I thought he was gonna say brain damage.
He said testicles.
There you are, you little rascals!
[Lawler] Oh, no. He looked at them.
But you know what, I understand
you don't feel like you can defend the tag team belts.
But I kind of wanna give the fans here
a little preview of the Tag Team match against The Acolytes…
-[Lawler] Uh-uh. -[Ross] Uh-oh.
[Lawler] JR, you know this is not right.
…that you'll have at Fully Loaded.
So what I'm gonna do is book for us right here in this very ring tonight,
a Six-Man Tag Team Championship match.
[Lawler] What?
A six-man match pitting the two of you and Chris Benoit
against The Acolytes…
[Lawler] Oh, no.
…and their partner, The Rock.
[crowd cheering]
The Rock, The Acolytes, Benoit, the Tag Champions,
Six-Man action tonight!
[Lawler] I don't think Benoit liked that.
Well, that's just fine with me
because tonight is just gonna be a samplin'
of what's gonna happen at Fully Loaded.
[Lawler] A sample?
Well, Chris Benoit, The Rock says this,
I'm gonna come up there and give you a sample ass-kicking all over Albany.
-[Ross] Well, The Rock is… -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] He wouldn't do that, would he?
The Rock just-- My god, The Rock is-- Rock, don't do that.
The Rock is walking right into the mouth of…
-[Lawler] Look at this. -…of The Wolverine,
and the Tag Champions, and Shane McMahon.
-[Lawler] Look at Shane. -[Ross] They're triple-teaming The Rock.
-And here comes Benoit. -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
-Here comes the officials. -[Lawler] It was meant for The Rock.
[Ross] The commissioner trying to break it up.
But The Rock and Benoit are ripping and hammering at each other.
[crowd chanting] Rocky! Rocky!
[Ross] The WWE Champion and his challenger, Benoit,
are ready to rip each other apart right here tonight.
-[Lawler] Look at The Rock… -[crowd cheering]
Just bring it!
[Ross] The Rock and The Acolytes against Benoit, Edge, and Christian.
What a six-man tag team war, King, we're gonna have tonight.
[Lawler] I can't believe what Mick Foley has done.
Why didn't he stay in Southeast Asia?
[Ross] There's gonna be a six-man war for the ages,
The Rock and The Acolytes against Benoit, Edge, and Christian live, tonight.
[Ross] Ladies and gentlemen, moments ago,
The Rock got so carried away.
He's so motivated, he went to war with four men.
Well, Chris Benoit, The Rock says this,
I'm gonna come up there and give you a sample ass-kicking all over Albany.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] So, King, The Rock didn't waste any time.
He didn't wanna wait until the six-man war tonight.
-The Rock went right for Benoit. -[Lawler] Yeah.
But the numbers were against The Rock.
I can't believe that he just--
You've heard the old saying, "Fools rush in."
This was not a smart move by The Rock.
[Ross] And look at Benoit trying to get a piece of The Rock.
Man, I'll tell you what, what a six-man war we're gonna have
here tonight where The Rock and The Acolytes against Benoit,
Edge, and Christian.
The animosity between The Rock and Benoit is absolutely overwhelming.
[Lawler] I'm telling you, this Mick Foley is--
-I guess-- Uh-oh. Wait a minute. -["We're Coming Down" playing]
Whoa!
Now, what's gonna happen?
We are joined by those damn Dudleys, Bubba Ray and D-Von.
[bell ringing]
[Lawler] I was gonna say get under a table but don't do that.
[Lilian] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first at a combined weight of 565 pounds,
Bubba Ray and D-Von, The Dudley Boyz.
[Ross] So the Dudleys are gonna take on Matt and Jeff Hardy momentarily,
on a night where Too Cool meets DX.
The Undertaker and Kane will take on Triple H and Kurt Angle.
And you just heard The Rock and The Acolytes
against Chris Benoit, Edge and Christian.
-All that and more live tonight. -["Loaded" playing]
[Lilian] Their opponents, being accompanied by Lita,
from Cameron, North Carolina, at a combined weight of 430 pounds,
Matt and Jeff…
[bell ringing]
[Ross] The Hardys and The Dudleys, two sets of brothers here.
[Lawler] Oh, man.
[Ross] And Jeff Hardy got hung up with that bottom rope by Bubba Ray Dudley.
And now both of these teams know the importance of this matchup,
where the tag team title is on the line this Sunday at Fully Loaded
when The Acolytes challenge Edge and Christian.
A lot of folks think we'll have new Tag Team Champions.
Whether we do or not, King, one of these two teams
could rise to the top and be number one contenders.
[Lawler] Oh!
Nice move by Matt Hardy tagging in his brother, Jeff.
[Lawler] Matt Hardy calls that little move The Dropshot.
He told me that earlier, JR. Look at this.
[Ross] A lot of high risk offense from these daredevils,
these risk takers, Matt and Jeff Hardy.
Lateral press, first in the contest, and a near fall.
Plus, we've already found out
that this Sunday on pay-per-view at Fully Loaded,
Triple H and Chris Jericho will now be a Last Man Standing matchup.
[Lawler] And you know that's not fair either, JR.
I mean, that's where you just beat somebody
until they're unconscious and can't even stand?
[Ross] But you have confidence in The Game?
[Lawler] Oh, he is that damn good, you know but-- Oh!
[Ross] Hard chop by Bubba Ray Dudley on young Jeff Hardy.
How do you like that, boy?
[Ross] The Hardys are from the great state of North Carolina,
the home of SummerSlam this year.
-Tickets still… Oh, my. -[Lawler] Oh, man.
[Ross] Tickets still available down in Raleigh, North Carolina
for SummerSlam, not many, but there's still some left.
-A cheap shot by Bubba Ray… -[Lawler] Look at this.
[Ross] Again, both of these teams very popular, but the stakes are high.
Both wanna move up the rankings in tag team competitions.
[Lawler] Oh, man!
[Ross] The clothesline from up top by D-Von Dudley.
And Matt Hardy scooped up and slammed hard.
-[shouting] Whassup? -[Lawler] Oh, no.
-[Ross] Oh, the Dudleys. -[Lawler] Girls, cover your eyes. Oh!
[Ross] Dudleys taking some short cuts here.
I don't think Lita is gonna like that.
Lita and Trish with several altercations in the past.
D-Von! Get the tables!
[Ross] Lita and Trish building a heck of a rivalry, and now…
[Lawler] Hey, wait a minute, did I hear him say table?
-[Ross] Can you say table for two? -[Lawler] No. This is bad.
[Ross] Bubba Ray and D-Von bringing out the wood it would seem.
[Lawler] Oh, poor Hardys.
Wait a minute. They have two tables.
[Ross] One table on the outside,
one table now being brought on the inside by D-Von.
[Lawler] These guys have a table fetish.
-[Ross] The Hardys are trying to… -[siren wailing]
[Lawler] Hey, wait a minute. What the heck is this?
[Ross] Oh, that's Steven Richards.
He's gonna be a big nuisance, I tell you.
[Lawler] Big nuisance? I hate this guy.
What is that?
D-Von, get back here!
[Ross] He's gonna censor-- Wait a minute!
The Hardys just shoved a ladder in the ring.
[Lawler] A ladder?
[Ross] And look out, Matt Hardy up on top.
-[Lawler] Hey, hey, hey, look out. -[Ross] Oh, my god.
Matt Hardy went up the top turnbuckle to the floor
in Bubba Ray Dudley's face.
And Jeff Hardy's setting up a ladder in the ring.
Here comes D-Von right back to the front.
[Lawler] Look at that. Look at that, JR.
-[Ross] My god in heaven. Look at this. -[Lawler] No, it's not.
[Ross] Oh, my god. He's 20 feet in the air!
[Lawler] He's a daredevil, he's a thrill seeker,
he's a risk taker, he's an idiot.
[Ross] Jeff Hardy took out the-- Hey, wait a minute.
-There's T&A and Trish. -[Lawler] Trish.
-Look at Trish. -[bell ringing]
-[Ross] Trish has got Lita from behind. -[Lawler] Yohoo. Trish.
-[Ross] This is chaotic. -[Lawler] It's perfect now.
We've got tables and ladders.
[Lawler] And T&A. T&A! Hah!
[Ross] What the hell is going on?
[Lawler] I don't know but look at Trish go.
[Ross] Trish, a cheap shot on Lita.
[Lawler] She almost kicked her pants off.
[Ross] Not the first time we've seen that.
[Lawler] Keep kicking. Wait a minute.
[Ross] Test has got… Test is gonna power bomb Lita.
[Lawler] Look at Trish.
She's got some evil intentions.
[Ross] What in the hell? Okay, no, come on.
-[Lawler] No, Trish. -[Ross] Now, come on.
[Lawler] Don't do that. Trish, don't do it.
[Ross] Oh, she's on the top of that damn ladder.
-For the love of God. -[Lawler] Look how high up she is.
Be careful, Trish.
[Ross] That ladder is shaking.
[Lawler] No, look. Now, Lita's after Trish.
[Ross] And Lita now, trying to-- Lita trying to get Trish.
[crowd cheering]
Lita is trying to get-- She has got Trish's hair.
[Lawler] This is way too dangerous.
[Ross] They're in no man's land on the top of that ladder.
-[Lawler] What-- No! -[Ross] Oh, my god!
Trish just shoved Lita right through the table.
[Lawler] Oh, my god.
[Ross] Lita's body maybe broken in half
-from that shock. -[Lawler] Maybe!
[Ross] From the top of the ladder through the wooden table.
-And Trish is proud of her efforts. -[Lawler] Look at Trish.
-[Albert] What a smile! -Whoo!
[Ross] For the love of-- We need help out here. Lita's hurt.
Right off the top of that ladder.
And Trish is proud of hurting Lita.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
[Ross] Lita has been, has been brutalized at the hands of Trish
going right through that table.
[Lawler] Oh, she's hurt, JR, she's hurt bad.
[Ross] Lita not moving, this is… this is serious business.
How badly is she hurt?
-She's… -[Lawler] Hope it's not her neck.
[Ross] We are back live, ladies and gentlemen.
What a horrific incident just moments ago.
Look at Trish standing on the top of the ladder,
and the ladder was shaking when Trish was gonna come off that ladder, King,
but it was Lita climbing up the ladder.
[Lawler] I can't believe this. Lita grabbed Trish by the hair.
I think she was gonna… Watch this, JR, you're gonna see.
I think that Lita was actually gonna try to suplex Trish
over that ladder and onto the table, but then, look.
Ooh!
[Ross] And then it was Trish, look at the shove right here,
another look at, look at the impact. This is absolutely heinous.
I mean this is not a 250-pound male.
[Lawler] Watch Trish shove Lita!
[Ross] That was a young woman that had her career cut short by Trish.
And this during the break, the EMTs stretchering Lita out of here.
Trish, so proud of her actions.
So proud of her accomplishments of hurting that young lady, Lita.
-[Lawler] Trish Stratus had to… Uh-oh. -[Ross] We're back live now.
Come on, come on, are you all right?
Come on, Lita, you tell them that, come on.
[EMT] Stay on the stretcher, relax.
-No, no. -Take it easy. Easy, relax.
[Matt] Stop. Leave her alone. Stop.
-Wait, wait, wait. -[EMT] When will the ambulance come?
Take it easy. Hey.
[crowd cheering]
I'm gonna get that bitch.
[Lawler] What did she say?
[The Godfather's entrance theme playing]
She said, "I'm gonna get that bitch."
[Ross] Talking about Trish, obviously.
[Lawler] My god! She got right up off the…
[Ross] I can't believe the ill-advised events that prevailed back there.
Lita needs medical attention, no doubt about that.
[Lawler] Oh, I'm gonna need medical attention right now, JR!
I'm about to get right up, myself! Yoohoo!
[bell rings]
[Lilian] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring,
weighing in at 320 pounds,
The Godfather.
[Ross] Godfather is scheduled to take on Steve Blackman here one-one-one.
And The Godfather and all his ladies.
[Lawler] This guy has more fun than anybody in the WWE, JR.
Look at that one in the pink in the front.
[Ross] I can't argue with that.
He's always got a smile on his face and I think we know why.
Yeah, he's got the Ho's!
[Ross] But he may not be smiling
when he gets face-to-face with Steve Blackman here, momentarily.
The reigning Hardcore Champion.
[Lawler] Oh, what's wrong with Blackman?
[Lawler] He needs to loosen up, lighten up.
Look at the one on the right in the pink!
She may be Miss Right for me, or at least Miss Right Now. Woohoo!
[Ross] Godfather having some fun here tonight.
-Aren't you a little bit envious? -[Lawler] Uh-huh.
[Ross] Can you dance?
[Lawler] Not right now, I can't even stand up.
But I could dance if I have to, JR.
Hey, girls, I'm an organ donor, need anything?
-[Ross] Oh, stop it. -Let's blaze this thing up right.
Wazzup, Albany?
[crowd cheering]
It's time once again for everybody to come aboard the…
[Lawler and crowd] Ho train!
Let me look around.
Are there any pimps up in this house?
[Ross] King, sit down, will you? You're embarrassing us.
[Lawler] Over here.
I want you all to know that The Godfather be pimping hos.
[crowd chants]
And I want you to roll a fatty for this pimp daddy,
light that blunt up and say…
[crowd chants]
-[siren blaring] -[Lawler] Oh, no.
-[Ross] You got to be kidding me. -[Lawler] Please.
[Ross] We just saw Steven a few moments ago.
[Lawler] That idiot!
[Ross] Now the self-appointed censor of the WWE is interrupting things again.
What is it with you people?
[Lawler] What is it with you?
Don't you know right from wrong?
[crowd chanting] Asshole! Asshole!
[Lawler] That's what you are.
The ol' AH word.
You sit there and you cheer for violence.
[crowd cheering]
You sit there and you cheer for indecency.
[crowd cheers louder]
[Lawler] Oh, no, wait, I won't call it that.
Worst of all, you sit there
and cheer for The Godfather and his hos.
[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] Big time, obviously. -[Lawler] And your point is what?
[Ross] Godfather is very popular.
Can somebody tell me where our morals have gone?
[Ross] This is a free country, King, you know that, right?
The Godfather and the producers of this show are corrupting
the moral fiber of the youth of America.
[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] Oh… -And it's wrong.
[Ross] That's ridiculous.
-We'll be censoring you next. -Do you people here me? It's wrong!
[Lawler] Unfortunately, we can hear you.
[crowd chatter]
Godfather, you cannot have scantily clad women
accompany you to ringside.
-[crowd jeering] -[Lawler] What?
[Ross] Why not?
Because it's indecent and it is totally unacceptable.
And I will continue to censor you and your lady friends
because quite frankly, you do not know any better.
[Ross] Who does he think he is? The conscience of the WWE?
[Lawler] Yeah, I'm starting to have a real problem with him.
Hey, Stevie, I do know one thing that you're censoring behind
is costing me the Hardcore title right now.
[Lawler] Right, get him out of here.
So I'll tell you what, my brother,
why don't you bring your conscience,
bring all your high morals, bring your butt in this ring
and I'll show you what we think about your censorship.
-[Lawler] Yeah. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Sounds like a fair deal to me.
[Lawler] Hit him one time for me, Godfather.
Wait a minute. He's coming down there.
[Ross] Here he comes, here comes Steven.
[Lawler] I'd like to see this. Try to censor The Godfather now.
Godfather, violence has never solved anything.
[Ross] That's not necessarily true.
And besides, I refuse to soil my hands with the likes of you,
unless it was self-defense.
Well, I'll tell you what, boy.
You better start defending yourself.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[Ross] Here comes The Godfather.
-[Lawler] Get him. -[Ross] Godfather's going
-right after Steven. -[Lawler] Put a good censorship on him.
[Ross] And Steven turning tail and run like a scalded dog.
-And The Godfather running… -[Lawler] Look out!
[Ross] Hey, wait, my god, that's Bull Buchanan!
[Lawler] What's he doing?
[Ross] Attacking The Godfather, that's what.
[Lawler] Bull's like Stevie Richards.
[Ross] What in the hell is going on here?
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
[Ross] Bull Buchanan, yes, he is, dressed like Steven Richards, but why?
Oh, the Bull hammering at The Godfather who just…
-Look at that! Unbelievable. -[siren wailing]
[Lawler] Look out.
[Ross] The scissors kick by Bull Buchanan,
and Steven Richards is-- he's gathering up the ladies…
[Lawler] Look at this.
[Ross] …and running the ladies back towards the locker room area.
[Lawler] JR, can't you do something about this?
[Ross] I wish I could.
Steven Richards running the ladies out of here.
What in the hell is going on?
[Lawler] Bull Buchanan dressed like Steven Richards…
[Ross] What's that about?
[Lawler] He left The Godfather laying here.
-[Ross] What's that about? -[Lawler] No.
Kurt, what are your thoughts on teaming with Triple H tonight?
A man you obviously don't like,
he did cost you a match against Kane on SmackDown.
Well, Michael, I've been through the Olympics,
I've been all over the world.
And I've seen many people in my lifetime,
and there are certain bad apples, and Triple H is just a bad apple.
Well, Triple H does have some justification.
He did catch you hugging his wife.
Wait a minute, what's wrong with a little pre-match hugs?
Steph and I are friends, that's all, I felt nothing by that.
You can't hug friends anymore?
I mean, you and I, we're not even friends. I'll give you a hug, look.
-[crowd cheering] -See what I'm talking about?
What is wrong with that? You know what, this interview is over.
[Ross] DX, Too Cool, next.
[Ross] Just moments ago, the self-appointed censor of the WWE,
Steven Richards interrupted The Godfather's scheduled match
with Steve Blackman.
Here comes Bull Buchanan dressed just like Steven Richards, King,
assaulting The Godfather.
[Lawler] And then…
What was even worse, Steven Richards comes out
and gets all The Godfather's ladies and runs them to the back.
I hate this guy!
Godfather, it seems Steven Richards' crusade
is taking a physical turn with the addition of Bull Buchanan.
Man, Steven Richards thinks he could tell people what to wear,
how to think, how to act.
Man, he don't know what the people want, and now he's gonna bring Bull in on me?
Well, I'll tell you what, I'm gonna show them both
-just how hard pimping really is. -[crowd cheering]
-Whoa. -["Are You Ready?" playing]
[Ross] And I'll tell you what, I don't think
I wanna be in Bull Buchanan size 15 boots
with The Godfather looking down the barrels.
And here comes DX, about to take on Too Cool.
And DX against Too Cool.
King, this should be a hell of a tag match.
[Lawler] Oh, yeah. Hey, and don't forget.
Twix presents Fully Loaded.
Twix. It's all in the mix.
And Fully Loaded to be live in just six days this Sunday
from the sold out Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas,
exclusively on pay-per-view.
[Ross] We're trying to get an update on Lita's condition
after being driven through that table from the top of the ladder by Trish
just a few moments ago.
Already tonight, commissioner Mick Foley who is back with us
-has made The Rock and The Acolytes… -Cut the music.
…well, against Benoit, Edge and Christian.
Albany, New York, welcome to the Dogg House.
[crowd cheering]
Well, you know, it's me, me, the D-O-G-G mobbing once again
with the X to the P to the A to the C,
and missing only one thing and that's "The Green Goddess" Tori,
but Albany, New York,
if you ain't down with rolling on that X and representing the D all night long,
then we got two words for you.
[crowd shouts] Suck it!
-["Evolution" playing] -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[Ross] After this six-man match, The Undertaker and Kane
to join forces to take on Triple H and Kurt Angle.
[Lawler] I can't believe that Kurt Angle
is being forced to be partners with Triple H.
These two guys won't get along. Kurt called him a bad apple a while ago.
-[Ross] Now, hold on. -[bell ringing]
[Lilian] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing the opponents, at a combined weight of 436 pounds,
Scotty 2 Hotty, Grandmaster Sexay,
Too Cool.
[Lawler] JR, you heard Kurt Angle, that was a sincere apology.
[Ross] Oh, please.
[Lawler] I mean, the thing about the hug with Stephanie.
Why can't friends hug each other?
I mean, even people that don't like each other should be--
[Ross] Don't you get ideas.
[Lawler] People that don't like each other should be able to hug.
Let's hug. Come on, let's hug right now.
[Ross] There ain't no way in hell I'm hugging you.
Rikishi, the running buddy of Too Cool gets a chance
to regain his Intercontinental title this Sunday on pay-per-view
against Val Venis, the Intercontinental Champion,
inside a steel cage.
[Lawler] Just a little hug. Lean over here.
[bell ringing]
[Ross] And The Road Dogg not wasting any time here,
coming from behind of Grandmaster Sexay.
So, yes, indeed, Rikishi tonight will be dead set on T&A,
but this Sunday, King, on pay-per-view,
it's Rikishi and Val inside a steel cage for the Intercontinental title.
[Lawler] Wow, what a dropkick.
Nice missile dropkick by Grandmaster Sexay,
taking down The Road Dogg.
[Lawler] Well, I'll tell you what,
Too Cool had a taste of those WWE tag titles
and they would love to get back in that hunt again.
[Ross] And so would DX, you gotta believe The Road Dogg and X-Pac.
Tag team titles on the line at Fully Loaded.
[Lawler] Hey, look at this.
[Ross] The Acolytes challenging Edge and Christian.
[Lawler] What the heck? Oh.
[Ross] But remember, nice teamwork there by Too Cool,
tonight, The Rock and The Acolytes
will meet Chris Benoit and the Tag Champions.
Oh, a drop toe hold
and the head perfectly placed somewhere south of the belt line.
[Lawler] I got to believe that The Rock has made a big mistake.
He's letting Benoit get right inside his head here.
[Ross] You might be right, King.
You know, you might be right about that.
And a cheap shot from behind and a knockdown by The Road Dogg.
The Rock is certainly, seemingly not himself
after what he has gone through,
after being tortured, after being a wounded animal
at the hands of "The Wolverine" Chris Benoit,
a man that many think will be the next WWE Champion.
We'll find that out this Sunday of pay-per-view.
[Lawler] Do you think it, JR?
Do you think Benoit will be the next champion?
[Ross] I think he's got a great opportunity.
I hate to bet against him but the road of Benoit is on…
[Lawler] You get down with Road Dogg.
[Ross] Big right hand by the Road Dogg.
Both of these teams would like to, as King said in that tag title hunt.
There's a cover, and Grandmaster Sexay making sure we didn't see three.
-[Lawler] Look at Scotty's hair. -[Ross] Standing up there, ain't it?
I'll tell you what, next Monday night,
we're gonna be in Austin, Texas,
the state capital of the Lone Star State, for Raw.
[Lawler] Oh.
[Ross] Good seats are still available there.
[Lawler] Oh, watch out. Don't hit Grandmaster.
He's known as white lighting in high school, you know.
[Ross] That's what I heard. And grand…
Grandmaster trying to get a handful of hair,
giving the opportunity though,
unfortunately, for DX, to double team Scotty 2 Hotty.
[Lawler] It's easy to get a handful of Scotty's hair,
it's sticking right out there for you.
[Ross] Scotty using his feet, knocking down both The Road Dogg and X-Pac.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
You don't know think we're gonna see that stupid worm, do you?
[Ross] We might. There's a tag.
Here comes Grandmaster Sexay.
Grandmaster getting the right-hands in, a couple of knockdowns.
X-Pac right back in it, but he's reversed.
Boy, the pace here of these athletes here in the WWE.
-Powerslam. -[Lawler] Nice powerslam.
That could be all. And, oh…
[Lawler] Oh, no!
[Ross] DX with a very uncharacteristic mistake there.
White lightning quick right there.
[Ross] All four men now.
Giving the referee Earl Hebner some problems.
This is a tag match.
[Lawler] Let 'em fight, Hebner-- Oh, man!
Grandmaster dumped right off the top by X-Pac.
-[Lawler] Look out. -[Ross] Oh, down he goes.
-X-Pac. -[Lawler] Oh, no. Here it comes.
Oh, there it goes.
[Ross] The Road Dogg just took the worm out of the game.
Pumphandle slam by The Dogg.
But Grandmaster is up on top.
[Lawler] Where did he come from? He's gonna fly.
He's got the goggles. Contact. Boom!
[Ross] Referee and X-Pac didn't see a thing.
Here we go. Too Cool on top.
This should be all right here. One, two, three-- No!
X-Pac pulled out Scotty 2 Hotty.
[Lawler] Wait a minute, he didn't tag.
[Ross] And Scotty's face bouncing off the ring steps,
leaving The Road Dogg and Grandmaster in the ring.
[Lawler] Oh, no.
There's the roll up.
It could be all here.
-Wait a minute. -[Lawler] Yeah!
-The X-Factor! -[Lawler] That egg is cooked!
[Ross] X-Pac, the legal man.
[bell ringing]
[Lawler] What a match.
Tremendous offensive display.
[Lilian] Here are your winners, The Road Dogg and X-Pac.
[Ross] Road Dogg and X-Pac representing DX with a hard-fought victory.
[Lawler] The worm has turned.
DX rules. Ha!
[Ross] This one could've gone either way quite obviously.
Man, what a night.
-This reeks of un-coolness. -No, no.
It's just totally cool, guys. Don't you understand?
The Acolytes are going a million miles an hour.
They're so fired up and revved up.
All you have to do is capitalize on their mistakes.
-All right. -You getting the picture?
-Yeah, we got it. -Chris, you got The Rock's number.
The last few weeks, anytime you feel like it,
you snatch on The Crippler Crossface.
That's what I'm talking about. You own The Rock.
Let's go get this done. We got this.
Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. All right.
[Ross] Shane McMahon motivating his friends,
but here comes The Rock with The Acolytes.
My god. What a six man tag team war. It is coming at you, next.
-["Whatever" playing] -[Ross] And we are back live on Raw.
Sold out crowd here, New York State Capitol at the Pepsi Arena.
And perhaps this man, King, the new WWE Champion.
"The Rabid Wolverine" Chris Benoit with his friend Shane McMahon.
[Lawler] Oh, so you finally admit it, huh?
He will be the next WWE champion.
-[bell ringing] -[Ross] I said perhaps.
[Lilian] The following is a six-man tag team contest
and it's scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, being accompanied by Shane McMahon,
from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
weighing in at 229 pounds,
Chris Benoit.
[Ross] Three huge main events this Sunday on pay-per-view
for the sold-out Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas.
One of them for the WWE title.
That man Chris Benoit will challenge The Rock.
["You Think You Know Me" playing]
[Lilian] And his tag team partners
from Toronto, Canada, at a combined weight of 455 pounds.
They are the World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Champions,
Edge and Christian.
[Ross] But you got to wonder, King, just how long Edge and Christian
will they remain Tag Team Champions.
Some say for six more days.
[Lawler] What are you talking about? These guys are totally awesome.
They're cool, they rule.
[Ross] You think they're gonna manhandle The Acolytes?
You think there's not gonna be a bar fight with these pretty boys
I've never even dreamed of before?
Hey, wait. Just shut up. I'm trying to follow this.
Now, being the fighting is tag team champions
in World Wrestling Entertainment history…
-[Ross] Fighting hist-- -[Lawler] That's pathetic.
It's great to be back here in a city such as…
Little help here.
-[Lawler] Albany. -[Ross] You don't even…
-He doesn't even know where we are. -Albany.
Where we know we are so respected.
[Ross] This is the capital of the State of New York.
Now, we usually don't do this,
but tonight, we are going to forfeit our five seconds.
[Ross] Forfeit? No, wait. Gimme that camera.
We are going to forfeit it to someone
who reeks of awesomeness just as much as us.
[Ross] Who could that be?
So, for the benefit of those with flash photography,
we call this five second pose "The Next WWE Champion."
-[Ross] What? -[Lawler] All right.
Take a picture.
[Ross] [indistinct] folks.
Lot of confidence in that smile of Chris Benoit.
-[music playing] -Some say he has The Rock's number.
We're about to find that out.
Because this six man war is about to explode.
[Lilian] And the opponent, at a combined weight of 578 pounds
Farooq and Bradshaw, The Acolytes.
[Ross] The Acolytes want the tag team gold.
And they're gonna enjoy going right through
Edge and Christian to get them.
[Lawler] These guys, they are actually just a couple of thugs.
[Ross] I mean, they're firefighters.
[Rock] If you smell…
[Ross] Here comes the WWE Champion.
[Lilian] And their tag team partner,
from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 270 pounds,
he is the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion
The Rock!
[Ross] The Rock [indistinct] defend the WWE title here tonight.
The Rock just waiting to get Benoit one on one.
But Commissioner Foley did aptly ask and sign this match-up.
This Six-Man Tag Team match-up of preview, if you will
-before Fully Loaded… -[Lawler] Hey.
-[Ross] Look out! -Here we go!
The Rock with the right hands!
[Ross] Right to Benoit's face.
[Lawler] God almighty, this is gonna be a bar fight here.
The Rock [indistinct]
And so are the others tonight.
Is that actually fair? Look at this.
[Ross] That's three on three, King.
[indistinct] double teaming The Rock.
Referee Tim White [indistinct]
communicating perhaps to The Acolytes.
In any event, the tag team champions
trying to beat down The Rock.
[Lawler] [indistinct]
[Ross] Richard hammering away at The People's and the WWE Champion.
And The Rock [indistinct] solar plexus.
[Richard groans]
-Yeah! -[Lawler] Powerslam.
That could be it. One-two.
[Ross] And The Rock [indistinct].
[Lawler] The Rock getting some retaliation on his adversaries here.
[Ross] Waiting to smackdown on everybody.
[Lawler] And now The Rock tags in Farooq.
[indistinct] Bradshaw. Well, there's a [indistinct]
These guys probably had a couple of beers before they got to this match.
Oh, they're bar fighters.
[Ross] Look out!
Here we go. There's cover.
[Lawler] This is the Pepsi Arena.
-They may have had a Pepsi or two. -[Ross] Give me a break.
[Rock speaking indistinctly]
[Lawler] There's the tag. Here comes Bradshaw.
He'll be returning to his home state of Texas
on pay-per-view this Sunday.
-[Ross] Oh! -[Lawler] [indistinct] double team.
[Ross] [indistinct]
[Lawler] They have cover.
[Ross] [indistinct]
No. Edge and Christian worked through such…
[indistinct] jerks.
[Lawler] You might have a little compassion for them
'cause they're just getting beat up like school kids on the school yard.
[Ross] That's a…
[Lawler] These guys don't ask for compassion.
They're the tag team champion-- Oh, my god!
[Ross] Bradshaw, on one leg.
-Body slam. -[Lawler] Now I got compassion.
[Ross] You'll have real compassion after this.
Oh, man! Oh, man!
[Lawler] Texas size powerbomb.
[Ross] And Benoit from behind.
[Lawler] Where you been, Benoit? Help these guys.
Benoit [indistinct], Shane on the outside.
[indistinct] Benoit now.
[Ross] Like that Wolverine you talk about.
[Lawler] Shane McMahon has turned his brand loose on Bradshaw here.
[Ross] Bradshaw being pummeled on the outside
by one, two, three men.
Tag Champ going to get some now.
[Lawler] And Shane McMahon up on the apron now. Look out.
[Ross] Shane be careful.
[Lawler] A triple team on the outside.
[Ross] I know you're a Giant Killer, but that's The Rock.
[Lawler] Bradshaw getting…
[Ross] Referee White here.
And Benoit [indistinct] the end of tag [indistinct] with him.
You got a big problem on your hands
if you're Bradshaw, The Rock or Faarooq.
[Lawler] Gotta admit, JR, Benoit's a player.
[Ross] Oh, there's no doubt about that.
Benoit came to WWE for one thing. And one thing only.
[Lawler] Ooh!
[Ross] And that's to become the WWE Champion.
[Lawler] These people here in Albany are kind of vulgar.
[Ross] Look at the [indistinct] on Benoit.
This is… [indistinct]
than perhaps any athlete we have ever seen in the WWE.
[Lawler] Is there anything meaner than a Wolverine?
[Benoit] Get in there.
[Ross] I don't know. I'm not Jackhammer. I don't know. I don't think so.
[Lawler] Well, let me tell you this.
If Benoit, the Wolverine, locks in on that triple crossface,
-he don't let go. -[Ross] He sure as heck doesn't.
And how much damage has that triple crossface done to The Rock
that we're not aware of.
-[White] Get off! -Teamwork here.
Shane McMahon has got these three guys all in the same cylinder now.
They have been able to isolate him.
Edge, Christian and Benoit, one man.
In this case, Bradshaw.
And Bradshaw being triple teamed.
[Lawler] I'll tell you what,
you gotta give Edge, Christian and Benoit credit.
They're working together for just being friends.
[Ross] Yeah, just friends.
Bradshaw [indistinct] reverse.
-[Lawler] Boom. Oh, man. -[Ross] Boom. Football tackle
from the former All American athlete Christian,
as The Rock looks on.
[Lawler] Edge thought he was hit by a train.
-[White] Three. -[indistinct]
[Ross] Bradshaw's 6'6" over 300 pounds.
The Rock is dying for a tag.
[indistinct] The Rock is dying to get his hands on Chris Benoit.
[Lawler] Wait a minute. The Rock don't want [indistinct]
Look at Benoit. Look at the intensity.
[Ross] Here come Faarooq.
Will Faarooq and Bradshaw have a chance this Sunday
on pay-per-view to become the tag champions?
[indistinct] It'll be all. It should be over.
-[White] Two. -[Ross] One. [indistinct]
Benoit [indistinct] to the head.
-Benoit saves the day. -[Lawler] Look out!
[Ross] The Rock and Benoit.
[indistinct] on Sunday for WWE title.
[Lawler] Benoit, you gotta get out.
[Ross] You should get out.
-[Lawler] We better get out of here. -[clamoring]
[Lawler] What are you doing?
-Look at Shane. -[Ross] From behind, Shane McMahon.
[Lawler] Oh. Hey!
[Ross] And now, Benoit.
[Lawler] Ah, that's… Hit The Rock right between the eyes
with that steel chair.
[Ross] Oh, man. Look out!
[Lawler] And then he got Faarooq too.
Benoit with the chair, two of 'em.
-[White] Three. -[Ross] I can't believe this.
[doorbell ringing]
[Lawler] The Rock is down.
Faarooq is down.
[Lilian] Here are your winners, Edge, Christian, and Chris Benoit.
[Ross] That shows you how quick a title can change.
Is this what we're going to see Sunday at Fully Loaded.
Chris Benoit leaving, but then with a WWE title.
[Lawler] Well, JR, you got to admit The Rock got what he asked for.
-He wanted Benoit. -He didn't ask for that.
[Lawler] He wanted Benoit, he got it.
[Ross] He didn't ask for Benoit to hit him in the face with a chair.
The Rock doesn't know where he is now.
-Look at this. -[Lawler] I know that.
Any time you deal with [indistinct] like Benoit,
you gotta expect anything.
But Shane McMahon [indistinct]
-And look at this right here. -Right in the face.
Benoit [indistinct]
[indistinct]
-[Ross] Look at this. -Oh!
The Rock is still down.
[indistinct]
[Ross] We are back live, looking at the carnage just moments ago
at the hands of Chris Benoit,
striking The Rock with a steel chair.
King, we're seeing McMahon who came from behind
that gave Benoit the opportunity to grab this chair. And watch this.
Kaboom! Right in The Rock's face.
-Right between the eyes. -Hey, hey. Look out.
Benoit.
Where's Benoit?
-I don't know, man. Take it easy. -I don't know where he is.
-Seen Benoit? -No, man. I ain't see him.
[indistinct chatter]
[Ross] [indistinct]
The Rock went right to Benoit's locker room with that steel chair.
He bit Benoit right in the head.
-[Shane] Get in there. Go. -[Ross] The Rock thinking.
[Lawler] Edge, Christian, Shane McMahon now triple team with The Rock.
You don't go into the locker and the Wolverine's [indistinct]
[Shane] Get out of here.
Well, The Rock [indistinct] all right.
-[The Rock grunts] -[Ross] And now he's taking apart.
The tag team champions.
The Rock came for Benoit, he got him with the steel chair.
But where did Benoit go? Oh, there…
[Lawler] Uh-oh. Benoit's bleeding.
Benoit's been busted up.
[Ross] And here comes The Rock again.
-Benoit can't stand. -[Lawler] [indistinct]
[indistinct shouting]
[Ross] Benoit gets [indistinct]
[indistinct]
People's Champion is out of control.
[Lawler] Oh, my god!
[Ross] These officials are restraining The Rock.
[indistinct shouting]
You haven't seen the last of The Rock. [indistinct]
[Ross] He doesn't even look like the same person.
[Lawler] Oh, watch out.
Rock going now?
Benoit's been busted open.
-at the hand-- -[Lawler] [indistinct]
He's got that chair again, JR.
[Ross] Rock's got that chair, yes he does. That weapon again.
[Lawler] Somebody's gonna have to stop The Rock.
[Ross] King, I've never seen The Rock in this--
[indistinct shouting]
[Lawler] Watch it, watch it.
I mean, The Rock is maniacal.
Benoit.
-[Ross] I mean… -Benoit!
[Ross] [indistinct]
[Lawler] Look out, look out!
-[indistinct] -[Ross] [indistinct] Shane.
-[Rock] Benoit. -[indistinct] Turn the car.
-[Ross] [indistinct] -Benoit.
[Ross] …to get Benoit to safety.
[Lawler] And he's coming. [indistinct]
[Ross] Oh, Benoit [indistinct] a lot of blood here.
He can hardly stand.
-[King screams] -[Ross] A shot right to the head.
[Lawler] The Rock's on Benoit again.
On the hood of the limo.
[Lawler] [indistinct]
[Ross] [indistinct] on the limo.
Benoit just got Rock Bottomed on the limo.
[Lawler] Look out.
Somebody go help please.
Now The Rock has snapped.
-[indistinct shouting] -Go, go, go, go, go!
[Ross] The Rock is hell bent on destroying Benoit.
And Shane McMahon is getting Benoit the hell out of here.
[people screaming]
[Lawler] Look out, look out.
Now Rock… Oh, oh. [indistinct]
[Ross] The Rock has lost it.
We're back live, ladies and gentlemen.
I've known The Rock since the first day he came to WWE.
I've never seen him in this state of mind.
I've never seen that side of The Rock.
Well, what kind of champion is The Rock now? Let me tell you.
The was completely out of line.
I mean, he's gone way over the edge.
Some people say that Benoit might deserve it.
Benoit does not deserve that treatment.
The Rock's way out of line.
Well, you know, what about the triple crossfaces?
Not once, not twice, but three times. What about attacking him from behind?
-That's wrestling. -What about using the steel chair?
What about using a steel chair
and doing a Rock Bottom on a man on the top of a car?
Well, sometimes you reap what you sow. We'll take another look at it here.
So, we… The Rock went looking in the [indistinct].
[Lawler] You go in somebody's dressing room,
you bust them over the head with a chair?
Now this is a big mistake by The Rock. Look at that.
[Ross] Well, The Rock busted Benoit wide open with that chair shot.
And Shane McMahon and the tag team champions
were trying to, I guess, clean it up.
Enough time for Benoit to escape too.
[Lawler] Shane McMahon and the tag team champions are protecting themselves.
They're in their dressing room after a hardcore match,
and they get attacked by The Rock. The WWE Champion
comes into their dressing room and attacks them with a steel chair.
[Ross] The Rock had one thing on his mind,
that was to seek and destroy The Rabid Wolverine Chris Benoit
[Lawler] Yeah. Look at… Look at Benoit's head.
[Ross] Benoit barely able to stand.
He's losing blood by the moment thanks to The Rock.
And The Rock again. We have never seen The Rock
in anything quite like this in our lives.
[Lawler] [indistinct] What do you think?
I think The Rock has gone ballistic here.
Destroying the man in the lockers, throwing him in the machine.
[Ross] I have to agree.
This is not conduct with becoming a WWE Champion.
But The Rock hasn't been provoking, he's been provoked.
He's been backed into a corner. He's a wounded animal.
His tag, his WWE Title on the line.
-That's what he's thinking about now. -[Lawler] He's sadistic.
Look at this. He's gone back. This is sadistic.
He's gone back, not to hit Edge and Christian,
he's gone back for that metal chair, JR.
[Ross] The same metal chair that The Rock got hit
-right between the eyes by Benoit earlier. -[Lawler] But that was part of the match.
[Ross] What about Benoit running in the ring
of The Rock two, three weeks ago
with a steel chair from behind?
[Lawler] The is premeditated right here. He knows exactly what he's gonna do.
[Ross] He knows what he's gonna do.
[Lawler] He doesn't care if he hits these officials.
-[Ross] I'm not gonna condone his actions. -[Lawler] Yes, you do.
-Look at that, look at that. -[Ross] This has got personal.
Oh, look at this. All Shane and Benoit are trying to do is get out of here.
And you know, they had enough. They're not trying to cause problems.
They want to get in their car and leave. That's it.
[Ross] The Rock had another thought. Watch this.
[Lawler] Yeah, he does. Another chair shot. Oh!
[Ross] Benoit, hands down. Got…
That chair shot landed right one the… The hood of that…
Of that limousine. And watch this.
-[Lawler] Look at that! -Boom! The Rock Bottom on that limousine.
[Lawler] That's destruction of property. That's our WWE Champion?
You know what he's going to do? He's got the chair again, JR.
-Stop it. Somebody stop this. -Shane [indistinct].
[Ross] Shane McMahon. They want to get Benoit to safety.
-At least for the time being. -Thank God for Shane right there.
[entrance music playing]
[Lawler] If that wasn't enough, Rock went and threw that chair.
Threw that metal chair on the car that was trying to escape.
I've never seen anything like it.
[Lawler] Well, here comes the lady's man.
The light heavyweight champion, Dean Malenko.
He has changed his personality since the last few weeks.
[Lawler] Well, Rock has changed his personality too.
-You got to admit that, JR. -[Ross] You're right.
[Lawler] That's the WWE Champion, he was attacking…
-That was a premeditated attack. -King, he was…
But hell, he was provoking. What do you do when you're provoked?
When you're backed into a corner? You got…
You got assaulted time after time after time? What do you do?
[Lawler] If you're the WWE Champion, you gotta keep your senses.
The Rock loves his… That's gonna cost The Rock.
[indistinct] That's gonna cost him.
With Benoit, this Sunday at Fully Loaded, The Rock is…
He better… He better keep his senses.
Women… What can I say?
You can't live with them,
but lucky for me,
you can wrestle them.
You know, there's only one thing in this world that gets me more excited
than watching two women fight over me
is me fighting two women.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[Ross] What?
So, Jacqueline, Ivory, come on down.
-[Ross] What? -'Cause tonight, I'm gonna give you
what every woman in this audience would love to have.
-[Ross] What's that? -[Lawler] Yeah, what is it?
A shot at the light heavyweight title.
[Ross] What?
-On the rehearsal [indistinct] -[singer 1] Mamcita.
[Ross] Wait a minute. Mamacita?
[entrance music playing]
Mamaci-- That's obviously not Jacqueline and Ivory.
-[Lawler] You're right. It's Latino Heat. -[Ross] Mamacita and Eddie Guerrero,
the European champion.
[Ross] Are they confused?
Oh, Deanie.
Now you know perfectly well that Jackie and Ivory
aren't here to accept your challenge.
[Ross] Uh-oh.
But it just so happens to be that I'm free right now.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Wait a minute. This is not what Dean had in mind.
I can assure you.
So, what do you say, we give the people
what they really, really want?
And that's someone to shut you up.
-[Ross] Mamacita. -[Lawler] Wow.
[Ross] Chyna's accepting Dean Malenko's challenge here
to go one-on-one. This is not what Malenko had in mind, I can tell you.
[Lawler] I can assure you it's not what Malenko had in mind.
[Ross] Chyna shooting those forearms
right into the face of the light heavyweight champion.
You know, Chyna's been the Intercontinental Champion.
Did you know it? She's competed in the Royal Rumble, the King of the Ring.
She's the Ninth Wonder of the World at this moment.
[Lawler] I know Chyna can hang in there with any man,
but I'm starting… It is not what Dean Malenko had in mind.
-Whoa! -Chyna taking down Dean Malenko.
-One, two. -[Ross] And there's the cover.
Still no update on Lita's conditions.
We understand that she's refusing…
[indistinct] Refusing to go to the hospital.
Heard what Lita said. She was gonna get that…
Well, that word that rhymes with Trish.
[indistinct] Trish the Witch.
-[Lawler] Hey! You can't say that. -That's what…
Those are Lita's words, not mine.
Man. Chyna holding on the ropes and Malenko looking for a drop toe-hold.
[Lawler] Oh, no. Don't do that. Don't do that.
He is still a man for the time being.
-[Ross] Wait a minute. -What the…
[Ross] Malenko. Kind of putting Malenko in his own hold.
-[Lawler] Oh, no, no. -[indistinct]
-[Lawler] Malenko… -[indistinct]
-World Heavyweight Champion. -Look at him.
[Ross] Malenko knows how it feels to be in his own hold.
-And he quickly gets to the ropes. -Break it.
-[Ross] Perry Saturn. -[Lawler] What's he doing out here?
[Ross] I don't have a clue.
Oh, watch it.
[Ross] Perry Saturn may be coming to…
He and Malenko's had some problems, I know that.
-[indistinct] He kicked Eddie Guerrero. -[Lawler] Oh, man.
[Ross] Perry Saturn is… My god, Saturn is assaulting
the European champion.
-[Lawler] What is happening? -I don't know what it's all about.
Saturn and Malenko and Eddie Guerrero fight.
[Lawler] I don't know, but [indistinct]
[Ross] And back in the ring, Malenko handling Chyna.
But the fight on the outside…
Guerrero now getting the upper hand on Perry Saturn.
[Lawler] But Saturn [indistinct] with the shots.
[indistinct]
My god. Don't do that.
[Lawler] Oh, man!
[Ross] Saturn just [indistinct] Eddie Guerrero right on the steel.
[Lawler] [indistinct]
[Ross] Chyna sees what's going on.
Saturn has done the damage.
Why did Saturn assault Eddie Guerrero?
-I don't know, but-- -[Lawler] Look at this!
And what's going on with Terri Runnels and Perry Saturn?
[Lawler] That horny little she-devil [indistinct] Saturn.
Wait a minute. I think…
Chyna on the outside…
[Lilian] The winner by a countout, Dean Malenko.
[Lawler] Yeah, but Chyna just stopped to go help Latino Heat.
[Ross] Chyna had more important business in her mind [indistinct].
Whether she lost the match or not [indistinct]
Latino Heat was just surviving there.
That's about all he's doing.
[indistinct] the assault from Saturn, Latino Heat is hurt.
Eddie barely surviving.
Triple H, thanks to Commissioner Mick Foley,
tonight, you will be teaming with Kurt Angle
against The Undertaker and Kane.
The obvious question, can you and Kurt Angle work together?
Can Kurt Angle and I work together?
Get this straight.
Kurt Angle and I will never do anything together.
Kurt Angle is a jerk.
I don't like Kurt Angle.
And my wife… My wife can't stand Kurt Angle.
But thanks to Mick Foley, Commissioner Foley,
tonight I am stuck with Kurt Angle as my tag team partner.
But Kurt Angle is no idiot.
So he will do the smart thing tonight.
Kurt Angle will come to the ring with me.
He will stand in the corner and he will keep his mouth shut.
He will get in the ring when I tell him to get in the ring,
he will get out of the ring when I tell him to get out of the ring.
And when the match is over, and the referee raises my hand in victory,
Kurt Angle will come and thank me
for allowing him to survive in the ring with The Undertaker and Kane.
And most importantly, survive in the ring with me.
And if Kurt Angle decides, for any reason, tonight,
that he should screw with either me or my wife,
I will personally take Kurt Angle apart.
[Ross] Whoa.
What Tazz doing here?
[Lawler] Check it out, JR. My sources tell me that
Tazz is gonna come right out here and explain his actions of late.
[Ross] You know what he's been up to.
[Ross] We are back live.
Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler on Raw.
And the Tazz is coming out here, King.
-[music playing] -[Ross] [indistinct]
[indistinct] and he's got a lot of ground to cover
because he has infuriated a lot of Superstars here in the WWE.
[Lawler] Let me just say this. My sources tell me that
he is in an extra foul mood tonight.
Never in a good mood to begin with.
[Ross] [indistinct] fans in the Seatle, Washington area.
[indistinct] this Saturday morning in Seatle
for our big September ninth event on [indistinct] Seatle Saturday morning.
[Tazz] Everybody is talking about the new Tazz.
What's Tazz's motivation all of a sudden?
Kane gets a steel chair cracked across his big head.
Boo!
Kane just another victim,
then a $50,000 television camera
smashed across Rikishi's fat head,
costing him the Intercontinental Championship.
Boo!
Rikishi just another victim.
Then W O R… Oh! Oh!
Oh, I just choked your ass out.
The Worm just another victim
to the one man crime spree.
I told you people from the very first day I got here,
the mood was about to change
and then when it did, you want answers.
Well, I'll you what,
until you people or this company can find a hero,
a role model, a man,
a real man, tough enough, bad enough, mean enough
to yank the reason for my actions out of my mouth,
the path of rage will continue
to run roughshod through this joint.
[Ross] Told you he was in a foul mood.
Because I'm Tazz.
Thug life born, thug life bred,
and when the time is right, I'll be thug life dead.
[Foley] Hold on a second there Mr. Tazz.
[Ross] Oh, no, commissioner Mick Foley.
Hold on just a second.
You see Tazz there's a lot of things
I'm proud of here in the WWE as it's commissioner
but watching you interfere in matches is not one of them.
[Ross] You've done your share of interfering here tonight.
So you walk around here saying the mood is about to change,
well yes it is, Tazz,
because at Fully Loaded you will not be interfering in a match,
you will be having a match.
-[Ross] No, now what? -[Lawler] About time.
As soon as I can find a suitable opponent.
-[Ross] He's coming out here-- -[Al] What does everybody want?
Here comes… There's Al Snow, with Head.
[Al] What does everybody need?
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
What does he want, JR?
Got a sicko and a wacko here.
-[Al] What does everybody love? -[crowd cheering]
Now this could be an interesting, uh…
I cannot believe what I have been listening.
-Hey, Mick. -Hey, Al.
You come out here acting all angry and miserable,
you wanna talk misery?
For the last seven months
I have been eating, I have been driving,
I have been training, on one sad occasion sharing a room
with Steve Blackman.
50 camera shots to the head
cannot compare to one heart to heart talk
with Steve Blackman expounding the virtues
of quicklime and the use of disposing of human remains.
-[King] Ha, ha. -[Ross] What?
So please Mick, I'm not asking you, I'm begging you,
let me show this man at Fully Loaded what misery is all about.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
I don't mean tagging with Steve Blackman.
Wait a second Al, I like you, I do.
I pretend I don't but I do and I enjoyed making fun of you
in my towering number one New York Times bestseller
Have A Nice Day, which will be available in paperback,
-with a couple bonus chapters in October. -[Ross] Ha. ha.
-Okay, there we go, cheap plug. -But Al,
it's seems that every time I put you in a big match,
well, you choke.
-[Al] I guarantee you give me this… -So I just…
-[Lawler] Oh, Tazz -Hey, hey, Tazz, Tazz, get…
Let him go, you little failure!
-Let him go! -[Ross] You gotta have some respect!
Tazz, you're doing this right in front of the commissioner!
And from behind we should I add.
Hey Tazz, you want a match with Al Snow at Fully Loaded?
Well, you got it.
You talk about thug life?
Well, I'll show thug life, Tazz.
-When Al wakes up… -[Ross] Look at this.
…when Al wakes up
he's gonna be really, really mad.
Al Snow and Tazz on pay-per-view this Sunday.
Excuse me, Stephanie, a quick question please.
We all know you married Triple H,
but what exactly is your relationship with Kurt Angle?
Relationship?
Michael to me a relationship implies sexuality,
and a woman of my principles
would never share my favors
with Kurt Angle or anyone else
besides my husband Hunter.
I am a loyal, I'm faithful
and I'm a committed wife
and I'm insulted by your insinuations.
And as far as tonight's match is concerned,
my only prediction is that Undertaker and Kane will lose.
She's beautiful, JR.
-[Ross] Oh, my god! -[Lawler] Oh!
How can you go from someone as beautiful as Stephanie to that?
Rikishi tries to get a measure of revenge against Test, next.
[Lawler] We are in New York State capital Albany,
the Pepsi Arena sold out on a night were
The Undertaker and Kane are meeting Triple H and Kurt Angle
in a hellacious tag-team match,
all made responsible, King,
-by our commissioner Mick Foley. -[Lawler] Idiot.
Maybe he should go back to Southeast Asia,
they seem to love him over there.
Certainly the WWE can have no better ambassador
than our commissioner Mick Foley and now look at this package.
[Ross] Oh, speaking of no better…
[Lawler] Smug look on, just fully loaded herself there
Trish Stratus after what she did earlier to Lita.
Let's take another look back at a shocking,
horrific moment earlier tonight.
-Watch out. -[Ross] Trish is might proud of herself,
you gotta admit, she was acting in self-defense,
look what Lita was gonna do to Trish. She was gonna suplex Trish but instead…
Oh, Lita got what was coming for her.
[Lawler] Here's another look of the impact. Watch the impact.
Oh, man.
The back of Lita's head snapping against that table.
[Ross] I would suggest that Lita would need to leave
playing with ladders to The Hardy Boyz.
[Lawler] Wow. Lita again refusing
to be taken to the hospital that soon might happen later tonight,
we're not sure.
[Ross] Rikishi will meet Val Venis
this Sunday on pay-per-view, King, inside a steel cage
but tonight it's Rikishi
-and Val's team mate, next. -[Lawler] You got that right.
And tonight, JR, Raw is War is brought to you by Stacker 2,
the world's strongest fat burner, visit Stacker2.com,
also available at convenience stores.
[Ross] And by Castrol, the official motor oil of the WWE,
get a free WWE best of SummerSlam video
with a purchase of a case of Castrol GTX,
see case for details.
And by Sony Playstation,
Live in your world, play in ours.
JR, I'm still… my stomach is still queasy from that shot we had
right before commercial break of his big, fat…
posterior.
[Lawler] You want an antacid or something?
[Ross] Yeah, give me something.
I don't know what Benoit Shane McMahon right now
I know where they are gonna be this Sunday, on pay-per-view.
Benoit he'll be… Now, he's a bit of a wounded animal.
Benoit and The Rock, this Sunday for the WWE title at Fully Loaded.
I don't know where they are but I know what there gonna be Sunday,
they're gonna be the next WWE champion.
-Benoit-- -[Ross] Well, you may be right,
-I'll never argue that point. -[Lawler] Oh, man!
[Ross] What a shot there by Test…
[Lawler] That look like a XFL punt.
[Ross] …on the face of Rikishi.
Whose face doesn't look like an XFL punt, King, I tell you.
As Test and Albert have been so impressive
-in the last several weeks. -[Referee] Get out the corner.
[Ross] Their status has risen here in the WWE
but you got to think, King, when Rikishi looks pissed,
he sees Val Venis, the Intercontinental Champion.
The man that Rikishi will meet Sunday,
inside a steel cage,
-or that Intercontinental title. -[Lawler] Oh, look out.
-[Ross] Rikishi, 424 pounds. -[Lawler] Oh!
-[Lawler] Squash test. -[Ross] What kind of handle is he gonna be
locked inside a steel cage.
[Lawler] Oh, no! Look at those divots.
Those are dimples on those divots.
-[Ross] I think he's losing weight. -[Lawler] Yeah, right.
-Oh! -[Ross] Brought down to about 423.
If he thinks he's lost weight all he needs is turn around and find out.
Hey, wait a minute, that's Trish Stratus.
Don't even think about putting your big, fat butt in her face again.
-Rikishi is he gonna back that rear end? -[Lawler] Oh, no, Stink Face.
-[Ross] No! Don't take it-- Oh! -[Lawler] The Stink Face.
Oh, my god! Oh, my god!
[Ross] Test will have a taste in his mouth,
that's gonna be difficult to alleviate, I'll tell you.
Now look at Trish up on the end, now, what does she think she is?
-[Lawler] She's sacrificing herself. -[Ross] Who does she think she is?
[Lawler] She's sacrificing herself.
She is sacrificing her life
-if you ask me. -Oh, no, look at this.
-Oh, Trish. -Trish! Oh, my.
right back on the concrete.
-Oh my, oh, wow. -Oh, Samoan drop, what a Samoan drop,
-400 pounds, a count, it's down -[Referee] One, two, three.
for three and Rikishi wins it.
-[Lawler] Trish, are you alright? -[Lilian] Here's your winner, Rikishi.
[Ross] Oh, look at this, Look at Val.
Val Venis, Intercontinental Champion
and Albert. And now, with Test getting up,
it's gonna be three on one here.
Three on one and remember Val and Rikishi, this Sunday on pay-per-view,
inside a steel cage.
He and A are all over Rikishi now.
-He was gonna put the hand on Trish. -[Lawler] Come on.
-That's steel. Oh! -[Ross] That's steel, alright.
It wasn't a cage, it was steel steps in the face of Rikishi
-I can't believe this. -Oh, look at this!
It's Too Cool.
Too Cool coming to the aid of Rikishi.
Who just got busted in the mouth at the hands of Val Venis
at the steel steps.
And it's still three versus two
-with Rikishi down. -[Lawler] Rikishi is hurt
thanks to the Intercontinental Champion.
[Ross] It's a three on two advantage for Val
and T&A.
[Lawler] And Val Venis.
[Ross] Rikishi trying to fight his way back out.
-[Lawler] Oh, man. -[Ross] Rikishi now hammering Test.
Albert against Scotty.
With any luck they'll fight their way right out of here though.
[Ross] Grand Master teeing off with the Intercontinental Champion.
Right hand by the huge monster Albert
on Scotty 2 Hotty, who fires right back.
Scotty showing no fear to this
-giant of a man, Albert. -[Lawler] Albert, look out.
Look out!
-[Ross] Scotty! Back to the heel! -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Oh, no, wait, you can't do the worm up there.
Albert's head bounced off the steel.
[Lawler] We're gonna see it, JR.
-It's a W-O-R-M. -[crowd] W-O-R-M.
[Lawler] The worm.
Probably a mistake.
-[Ross] Scotty with a worm on the stage. -[crowd chanting]
Oh!
Laying it down
and from behind here comes Val, the Intercontinental Champion.
And wait, wait, oh, no, no.
-[Lawler] Oh, my god. -[Ross] Oh, my god.
The sickening thought of a human beings body
on the concrete floor.
[Ross] Scotty 2 Hotty's body just bounced on the concrete, King.
Like he was a rubber ball.
Look at the look on Val's face.
He loves it.
Val and Rikishi in that cage on Sunday.
My god, Scotty, he's hurt.
Oh, my god, King.
We better get the EMT's out here right now.
Scotty's body just bounced right off the concrete floor like a ball
and Val Venis likes what he has done.
[Ross] We are back on Raw ladies and gentlemen,
moments ago, I cannot believe what we have seen,
Scotty 2 Hotty attempting the Worm up on the staging area
and Val Venis,
from behind the Intercontinental Champion…
-This was sick. -Oh, man.
Scotty's body bouncing right off the floor.
And then Scotty during the break
saw the EMT's,
cautionary measures taken to make sure this young man
is not seriously, seriously injured
at the hands of the Intercontinental Champion.
Val Venis, tonight you injured Scotty 2 Hotty,
all because of this obsession,
why Rikishi?
You know something, Rikishi represents everything I used to be,
doing everything in his power to please the fans,
dancing at the drop of a hat for the cheers of the fans.
I used to gyrate just for the cheers of the fans.
Giving competitors stinky faces just for the cheers of the fans.
I used to come up with clever sexual innuendos
just for the cheers of the fans, yet I did nothing.
Nothing, for me.
And that made me sick.
Well, buddy old pal, times have changed
and those days of uttering those words,
"hello ladies", have gone by the way side
and gold has come waist side, so chump, come this Sunday,
Fully Loaded, I promise you this,
I will not be a hard man to find, no,
in fact I'll be standing dead square in the middle of the ring
surrounded by a steel cage,
waiting for the cheers of those fans
to turn to sorrow
as I beat Rikishi within an inch of his damn life.
And I promise you this I will not be doing it for the fans,
I'll be doing it for me.
[Lawler] Steel cage match-up,
folks we're looking now live at Times Square, New York City,
of course, the home of WWE New York.
That's the locket in the entire world, King, you've been there, I've been there
-and that's inside, what a packed house. -[Lawler] Look who's there tonight.
It's Kai En Tai.
-[Ross] What? -[Lawler] Hey.
He found a couple of babes.
-[Kai] I want second. -[man] Me too.
[Lawler] I think they're having a little too much sake.
[Ross] I think our… I think our…
[Kai] Yeah, good.
-[people cheering] -[Ross] Oh, boy.
[Lawler] They're drinking sake out of those glasses?
Well, this is gonna be a long night for those boys.
-The Mayor was here just a week ago. -Come in.
Uh-oh.
Listen Triple H, I know we have this match coming up next,
so I have a few ideas
-and this is what I'm thinking -Hold on.
You thinking, as far as that goes, nothing good is gonna come of it.
All right, let's get this straight, Kurt, I don't like you,
I don't trust you.
But the fact of the matter is tonight I'm stuck with you as my partner.
Now, if you stay out of my way
we can put our differences aside and we can get through this,
all right, deal?
Deal. You want to shake on it or do you just wanna hug?
Don't-screw-this-up.
[Ross] I don't know how those guys are gonna co-exist
but here comes The Undertaker and his brother Kane,
you talk about a slobberknocker,
The Undertaker and Kane, they meet Triple H and Angle, next.
In store, premiers this Sunday night at 9/8 Central on USA
Well this is sorta like a war next door, right here.
Kurt Angle who should be hugging Triple H
instead is gonna have to somehow co-exist in this match
Kurt Angle will meet The Undertaker in Fully Loaded
on pay-per-view this Sunday.
Not to mention Angle headlining a huge extravaganza
in his hometown of Pittsburg.
[Lilian] Introducing first
weighing in at 237 pounds, Olympic gold medalist
and King of the Ring, Kurt Angle.
[Ross] Yes, Kurt Angle in Dallas this Sunday on pay-per-view
and on Saturday night, July 29th in his hometown of Pittsburg,
front seats for Pittsburg still available.
-And here comes in The Game. -[Lilian] Being accompanied by
the World Wrestling Entertainment Women's Champion
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley,
from Greenwich, Connecticut,
weighing in at 260 pounds,
Triple H!
Of course, Triple H is a part
of the three main events that will be Fully Loaded this Sunday on pay-per-view,
the last man standing.
Stipulation is added by commissioner Mick Foley earlier tonight
with Chris Jericho meets Triple H, this Sunday on pay-per-view.
The rules are simple, the last man standing is the winner.
Oh, boy.
Don't forget Kurt Angle is going to have to take on The Undertaker.
I mean just one on one there this time.
Coming up momentarily, a tag team war,
who will be standing when this tag team match concludes?
[Lawler] Oh, no, he's here, JR.
They're here.
[Lilian] And their opponent, a combined weight of 741 pounds,
Kane and The Undertaker.
[Ross] I would bet you to say
I don't think these two guys have ever hugged each other.
[Lawler] Remind me why.
The Undertaker's not gonna be hugging Kurt Angle
at the three main events
this Sunday on pay-per-view.
Titles decided, careers on the line
and The Undertaker wants Angle.
The Undertaker coming right after Kurt Angle.
Be careful Stephanie.
-Be careful. -And Angle…
Avoids The Undertaker momentarily
but look who was waiting on Angle, the--
Oh, my god. The Big Red Machine.
-[Lawler] Kurt, oh, man. -Playing around the seven foot mark,
330 pounds,
taking it to the Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, the king of the ring.
We got-- There's a roaring butt wupping here
that Kane is putting on Kurt Angle.
[Ross] And I'll tell you, speaking of…
speaking of butt wuppings, our sources have just informed that
everybody is concerned about Chris Benoit,
Last time we saw him,
-he was busted, Shane helped him out. -[Lawler] Go around, go around.
He is okay.
He's weak now but he's gonna be okay, he'll be in the pay-per-view Sunday.
-[Lawler] That's good news. -[Ross] Shane will be there too.
[Lawler] Kurt Angle made a tag that was somewhat reluctant
to Triple H it would seem
and Triple H and The Undertaker are in.
[Ross] Oh my, what a shot by The Undertaker,
another man just a shade over seven feet tall,
around 335.
And there is the sidewalk slam,
that will chill your spine.
That could be all, and look at that.
Interrupting the count,
pulling The Undertaker off Triple H
and look at Angle now, over the railing.
Angle helped Triple H. They are co-existing.
They're on the hook!
Your Olympic hero, King, out there now on the metal stand,
he was cowering down like a small child.
[Lawler] Just being intelligent, one of those three I's, JR.
Now he'll come in the ring, he wasn't the legal man in.
[Ross] This thing with Angle and Triple H can blow up in their face at any moment.
-Look at how intelligent. -Look at that tag. Look at that tag.
[Lawler] Smart.
[Ross] These guys aren't getting along, King.
That was two handed tag,
Angle wasn't in the match ten seconds.
Angle doesn't want anything to do with The Undertaker,
and who would? What a shot, right hands and the elbow
hitting Triple H right in the nose.
Well, this is just a huge misunderstanding between The Undertaker and Kurt Angle,
I mean Kurt trying to smooth this thing over.
Don't think anybody wants to see The Undertaker fight Kurt Angle.
[Lawler] Are you kidding me?
[Ross] Kurt doesn't want to. That's one of three main events,
I can't wait to get to Texas and see that one.
Pay-per-view in Texas, it can't get any better than that folks,
this Sunday and look at the power of Kane.
Damn, not that way.
Kane has unbelievable power and strength.
Mick Foley made this match, our commissioner,
back from an around the world tour almost.
All the way to southeast Asia for a week
and Triple H aborted a right hand.
…
At least a partial neck breaker taking Kane down.
And there's a tag, believe it or not.
Come on, Kurt. Show them what you are capable of.
Angle more than happy to come in, I guess you would say maybe not.
He's less reluctant against Kane than he is against The Undertaker
[Lawler] What are you talking about? Oh, there you go.
[Ross] Downstairs when Angle had a chop block right to the knee.
[Lawler] Intensity and intelligence.
It's like saying what do you want broken, your left arm or your right arm?
[Lawler] Kurt, you gotta keep an eye on Undertaker, Kurt.
He'll attack you from behind.
[Ross] Three main events this Sunday on pay-per-view,
The Rock against Benoit for the WWE title.
Triple H, the man in the ring will take on Chris Jericho,
last man standing
and the third but certainly not least main event
will be The Undertaker and Kurt Angle,
finally they will go without a doubt one on one this Sunday
from Dallas, Texas on pay-per-view.
[Lawler] I still say, nobody wants to see
an American hero against a American badass.
[Ross] And there goes Kane, my god, the power.
Can you believe that strength folks?
-[Lawler] Get out of there Kurt. -[Ross] A double suplex.
Triple H and Angle
up and over the hands of Kane,
who just took Triple H down again.
-Oh, my gosh. -Uh-oh, look out could be
the powerslam.
But it might be the Tombstone Piledriver,
but it was the power of Kane,
stepping right over the top rope and The Big Red Machine is gonna fly.
-[Lawler] Oh, no, this is bad. -[Ross] The Big Red Machine is up.
Triple H, look out he's behind you, 325 pounds in your face,
how do you think that feels?
And there's a cover, this has got to be all
and look at Angle.
-Oh, no, The Undertaker is in. -and now Kurt
Undertaker throwing Angle out here like yesterday's garbage,
-The Undertaker coming out of the ring. -[Lawler] No, look out.
[Ross] My god, Undertaker manhandled Angle.
Undertaker out here
with a huge right hand, Angle looks…
Angle trying to run away from The Undertaker.
Angle trying to get away.
Kane and Triple H. The Undertaker, Angle is running for high ground
The Olympian, our hero
is running from The Undertaker.
[Lawler] When The Undertaker's hunt is on, you run.
And look, there's Jericho,
-[Ross] What's he doing here? -That's Chris Jericho. Jericho's here.
Triple H not able to Pedigree Kane.
-Triple H is down. -…
Jericho bandaged up…
Oh, chokeslam. Chokeslam
-Kane got the chokeslam. -[Ross] What?
[bell rings]
Jericho lost it. Jericho lost it again.
-Look at this! -Triple H, look out.
Jericho bandaged up, at Triple H's face.
[Ross] Somebody get him off of Triple H.
[Lawler] Jericho is rabid, Jericho is livid,
literally tearing apart The Game.
Attempting to meet Sunday
in a Last Man Standing Match.
[Ross] Look at Jericho over there…
[Lawler] Triple H trying to get out of the ring.
Triple H on this night wants no part of Y2J.
-[Ross] Look out! -Oh, my god.
Over the top, taking out the referees,
taking out The Game.
[Ross] Somebody get him off of there.
[Referee] Get him off, get off of him.
[Ross] Triple H with everything he's got.
Who will be the last man standing this Sunday?
Who will be the WWE champion at Fully Loaded?
Jericho is standing but will he be Sunday on pay-per-view? o's here.
