[dramatic music playing]
-No. [hesitates] -[crowd jeering]
Kurt. Kurt, please listen to me.
You have to come to the arena right away.
No, look, I've just been informed your match has been changed.
No, my match has been changed.
In fact, everybody's matches have been changed.
The whole card's upside down.
[knocking on door]
[door opens]
[Vince] Well, well, well.
[door closes]
[crowd booing]
Commissioner Regal.
So, all this is going to your head!
Just because you're here on your home soil now,
this commissionership is going to your head.
You're making all of these changes.
I got people coming up to me,
telling me about all these changes you've made tonight.
You made a 2-out-of-3 fall match with Benoit against Angle.
You put yourself in a-- in a match with the Queen's Cup
against Chris Jericho. You made other changes.
What the hell are you doing, Commissioner?
I'd like you to know that this is none of my doing.
I didn't do any of this.
Honestly, I didn't do any of it.
Well, now, wait a minute.
-All right. You didn't make any changes. -No.
[scoffs] And I damn sure didn't make any changes.
So, who made the changes?
Well, your wife, you see, she's in town for a charity event
and she told me that if I didn't do this--
My wife?
So then, my wife suggested changes tonight?
Yes.
What other changes did she suggest?
Well, the Big Show versus Test match, that's been changed.
-Why? -Because of an injury, I think.
And also, there's a four-team tag elimination match
and there's also lots of other changes as well.
Now look, you know…
[breathes sharply]
…I've had it 'bout up to here, okay?
Look, these changes and all this crap my wife is putting me through
is gonna stop because I'm telling you right now,
I said I would bend, but I'm not gonna break, and that's it.
No more tonight, no siree, tonight there's not gonna be any more changes.
I'm the boss. Do you take orders from my wife?
-No. No. No. -Yeah.
Well, I don't take orders from my wife, and that's why tonight it stops.
-[knocking on door] -Right here. Come in.
Tonight it stops, and we're going no further with it.
There will be no other changes, whatsoever.
-It won't matter what you say-- -[crowd cheering]
[Vince] Linda.
Hello, Vince.
How are ya?
Um, I heard you were in town for the charity thing last night,
and that was-- that was really admirable of you.
-I-- That was cool. I-- -Thank you very much.
What are you doing suggesting these changes?
Well, you know, Vince, change is sometimes good.
Just like in our marriage, I took a look at the card tonight
and thought there were some changes that needed to be made.
Now, Vince, you always say that you act in the interest of fairness, right?
I always act in the interest of fairness.
Well, I act in the interest of the WWE fans,
and this card has been reconstructed
because the fans in the United Kingdom deserve to see the best
the World Wrestling Entertainment has to offer,
and that's what they're gonna see.
These United Kingdom fans are going to see only the best.
Well, I see. Well, thank you very-- but before you take your leave,
um, there's one thing that you haven't changed, damn it.
You haven't changed that main event, have you?
That "handicap" match with Undertaker for the WWE title
against both Austin and Triple H, that hasn't changed?
No. That hasn't changed, but I'll tell you why it didn't change.
I went to Undertaker. I wanted to change it.
He said, "Absolutely not."
He wanted both those men in the ring.
He wanted to get his hands on both Stone Cold and Triple H at the same time
in that very ring tonight,
-and I've wished him luck. -[crowd cheering]
Well, isn't that nice?
Why don't I-- why don't I just wish you luck
and you can, uh-- I'll see you later tonight
and thank you so much for your participation.
[door slams]
Did you hear that?
[imitating Linda] "And I wished him luck.
I wished him luck. I--"
I'm sick of this.
-I'm sick of this. -[metal clashes]
Damn it. It's not gonna happen. I'm fed up with this crap.
[crowd chanting] Let's go!
[groans]
On a personal note…
-other than the fact that… -[crowd chanting louder]
…when I say the main event's intact, it stays intact.
It totally will, yes.
Other than that,
I've been reading in the papers, Commissioner,
about this foot and mouth disease over here, and I--
and I'm wondering whether or not I may be susceptible.
I mean, have there ever been any cases of humans
actually catching this dreadful disease,
this foot and mouth disease?
Well, it's only rumors, but I believe there is such cases.
I mean, it is only rumors, you know,
we just don't know, do we, these days?
I mean--
That's disgusting.
[rock music playing]
[narrator] And now, WWE Insurrextion.
[fireworks exploding]
[Michael] The CEO of the World Wrestling Entertainment,
Linda McMahon, has changed the landscape of Insurrextion.
Hello everybody, and welcome to our raucous,
rowdy, rocking sold-out Earl's Court in London.
Michael Cole and Paul Heyman at ringside.
And, Paul, they're enjoying Insurrextion live in the UK, Australia
and in WWE New York.
[Heyman] Well, what a huge piece of news now.
Linda McMahon has changed
almost the entire card here tonight
with the exception of the big main event,
The Undertaker going for the WWE title
against Steve Austin and Triple H.
[Michael] And that is a match that The Undertaker
indeed wanted "handicap" tonight.

[Michael] A great ovation for Grand Master Sexay.
[Lilian] Introducing first, weighing in at 229 pounds,
one-half of Too Cool,
Grand Master Sexay.
[Michael] Well, you hit me now in the head, Paul Heyman,
Linda McMahon has drastically changed the card here
at Earl's Court for Insurrextion.
In fact, "Y2J" Chris Jericho is gonna be William Regal the commissioner
with The Queen's Cup on the line.
[Heyman] Can you imagine that now?
One of the biggest rivalry in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
William Regal on his home turf
against Y2J for The Queen's Cup.
[Michael] Grand Master Sexay doing some dancing in the ring

["Latino Heat" playing]
[crowd booing]
[Lilian] From El Paso, Texas,
weighing in at 205 pounds,
Eddie Guerrero.
[Michael] Well, Paul, he's cocky, he's arrogant,
he believes though that he was the best representative
that Europe had ever had as European Champion,
he's "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero.
[Heyman] Well, I think it's a great tragedy
that Eddie Guerrero was no longer the European Champion
because of, what I understand,
Europe was very much looking forward to inheriting Mexico.
[Michael] What are you talking about, inheriting Mexico?
[Heyman] And quite frankly, I was looking forward to the fact
that Mexico would no longer be part of North America.
[Michael] So it's "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero
to take on Grand Master Sexay to kick things off here
on what has already been a wild Insurrextion
here on Sky Box Office.
Also would like to welcome all the fans watching in Australia
4:00 in the morning on main event Down Under.
[Heyman] Besides that, Eddie Guerrero,
his family's really, not only from Mexico,
but the other part of his family.
A long history from the country of Spain,
which I know you don't know these things, Michael…
-[bell ringing] -[Heyman] …but Spain is part of Europe.
[Michael] Well, look out now. Eddie Guerrero wasted little time
attacking Grand Master Sexay from behind.
And this first matchup of Insurrextion is underway.
Oh. Big elbow by "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero.
Question for you, Paul, Linda McMahon's saying
that The Undertaker indeed wanted this "handicap" matchup.
Why in the world would The Undertaker
wanna take on The Two-Man Power Trip by himself?
[Heyman] Well, to be honest with ya,
I think The Undertaker had everything in hand on SmackDown.
He went to everybody's ass
and the fact is, The Undertaker's on a roll.
He's looking for revenge for his brother, Kane,
and I think The Undertaker maybe
is getting just a little carried away with himself.
[Michael] Well, Eddie Guerrero mocking Grand Master Sexay with the sunglasses.
Or perhaps, Paul,
Undertaker knew Triple H was gonna be at ringside anyway,
so why not just get them both in the ring for himself?
Oh, look out. Big slam.
Grand Master Sexay bringing this crowd to its feet.
[Heyman] I think The Undertaker would fight the entire locker room
to once again become the WWE Champion.
It means that much to him.
[Michael] And not just about the WWE title for The Undertaker, Paul,
it's about revenge for his brother, Kane.
Oh, Eddie Guerrero is reeling,
Grand Master Sexay doing a little dance and off the second rope.
Missile dropkick to Eddie Guerrero.
[Heyman] Well-placed dropkick right to the chin and the chest,
and knocks Eddie Guerrero down.
And Guerrero wisely goes to the outside.
[Michael] And Grand Master with that little baseball fly dropkick
knocking Eddie Guerrero down outside the ring.
Grand Master Sexay's partner Scotty 2 Hotty from Too Cool
still outta action, suffered a break--
broken ankle at the hands of Kurt Angle.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Well, little too much dancing for Grand Master,
and Eddie Guerrero attacks him from behind.
[Heyman] Bad mistake by the Grand Master.
Never turn your back on someone as devious,
as diabolical as Guerrero.
[Michael] Eddie Guerrero now mocking Grand Master Sexay,
doing a little dance and this crowd here in London getting all over Latino Heat.
Former European Champion, Eddie Guerrero, with a salute to this crowd.
Look out, Scott. Grand Master rolls him up, two, and a kick-out.
And Guerrero follows it up with a big clothesline.
[Heyman] Guerrero the first to his feet.
Guerrero taking advantage of the Grand Master,
but notice how Guerrero stays on top of his opponent.
[Michael] Sexay off the ropes.
Oh. Slides underneath.
Eddie Guerrero, look out now. He's in trouble.
Enzuigiri from Grand Master Sexay, and Guerrero's down.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Grand Master Sexay trying to build momentum
in this matchup here at Insurrextion on Sky Box Office.
Oh, look out. Big back body drop to Latino Heat.
And Grand Master with a clothesline follows it up.
I'll tell you, Grand Master Sexay known for his tag team ability, Paul,
but, really, doing well as a singles competitor
since Scotty 2 Hotty has been out of action.
[Heyman] Well, he has no choice.
Otherwise, the guy would be out of work,
so, of course, he wants to do the best he can in the singles department.
[Michael] Eddie hung up top rope in the turnbuckle.
And now Latino Heat's staggering.
On a night where The Undertaker will take on
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Triple H in a "handicap" match for the WWE title.
Kick to the chin, cover, hook of the leg,
and Eddie Guerrero just gets his shoulder up.
[Heyman] How close can you be, a kick right underneath the chin of Guerrero?
I cannot believe that Guerrero is still conscious.
[Michael] And Grand Master Sexay setting him up now.
This crowd has been rocking since the start at Earl's Court.
Oh, look out.
Powerbomb by Grand Master Sexay, lost his footing a little bit.
And now Grand Master hopes to capitalize.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] He's got the goggles out, Paul.
[Heyman] He's got the goggles out and he's going up,
but he needs to take advantage of this quickly.
Guerrero comes back out of nowhere.
[Michael] Grand Master top rope, goggles on.
Eddie Guerrero in trouble. The Hip Hop Drop didn't connect.
Guerrero rolls out of the way.
[Heyman] Well, Guerrero is still roll-- is still rolling from the powerbomb.
It took a light out of Grand Master Sexay,
but it took even more out of Guerrero.
[Michael] And now Eddie Guerrero hopes to capitalize.
-[crowd chanting] Eddie sucks! -[Michael] And listen to this crowd.
[continue chanting, booing]
[Michael] Eddie over the top rope, high-risk maneuver.
-Look out, Grand Master to his feet. -[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] Are you gonna tell me this is not a partisan crowd?
[Michael] Oh, look out. Very partisan for Grand Master Sexay.
Eddie Guerrero struggling, using the ropes trying to get his balance,
Grand Master Sexay.
Nobody home.
And Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero rolls Grand Master over, hooks the leg.
There's two. Has he got him?
-He's using the ropes. -[bell ringing]
[Michael] Eddie Guerrero wins, but he used the ropes.
♪ Latino heat ♪
["Latino Heat" playing]
[Lilian] Here is your winner, Eddie Guerrero.
[Michael] Now, Paul Heyman, give me a break.
Eddie Guerrero used the ropes to defeat Grand Master Sexay.
[Heyman] What a tremendous victory to open up Insurrextion
for Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero.
Guerrero employing the classic European style
to take down Grand Master Sexay.
Watch this now. Guerrero on the top rope,
Grand Master Sexay seizing the opportunity,
slamming Guerrero off the top rope.
And to me, at this point,
I thought that Grand Master had the match won.
-[Michael] Oh, he did. -[Heyman] Wham.
There it is, the bad mistake.
And once something like that happen, you belong to Eddie Guerrero
and, of course, like all Europeans,
-a little bit of cheating never hurt. -[bell ringing]
[Michael] Well, Latino Heat using the ropes
to pick up the victory over Grand Master Sexay.
In front of a sold-out crowd at Earl's Court in London.
[Heyman] I know where we are.
Why do you keep reminding me?
[Michael] 'Cause I've been front here the last couple of days.
-Get it? -I feel bad.
It's funny.
You're very calm tonight.
I mean, you know, you've got this big match against The Undertaker
and after what Undertaker did to Austin,
with Austin's eye and having you arrested?
Yeah, but Undertaker's gonna get his payback tonight.
What's to worry about? Me and Austin against The Undertaker?
Deadman doesn't stand a chance.
The way I see it,
right here tonight in this craphole England,
The Undertaker's gonna take his Last Ride.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Well, an extremely confident Triple H
and Stephanie McMahon Helmsley, Paul.
-["Radicalz" playing] -[Heyman] And, well, they should be.
They have everything in hand this evening.
[Michael] Except for Six-Person Tag Team action,
-here come The Radicalz along with Terri. -[bell ringing]
[Lilian] The following Six-Person Tag Team match
is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, the team of Terri, Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko.
[Michael] Well, I guess if you're Triple H
and, you know, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's
gonna be on your side in a "handicap" match.
You gotta be confident. Is there anything to worry about?
[Heyman] Hey, I'm confident in this statement.
That's kind of interesting ring attire for Terri, isn't it?
[Michael laughs] What about Perry Saturn?
[Heyman] I wasn't even paying attention to him.
Why would Terri wanna wrestle in that outfit?
[Michael] Well, I'll tell ya, wrestle in a short skirt,
it's gonna be a pleasure for us in here at ringside.
Listen, little songbird,
it's not gonna be a Six-Man Tag,
it's gonna be a plain old tag and I'll tell you why.
I've come to this country and I expect every amenity that you people have
and I can't even get wrestling boots.
-[crowd booing] -No, we don't have that.
We don't have wrestling boots for you.
So, you can't expect me to wrestle in this little skimpy outfit.
So, it's a plain two-man tag, baby.
Right?
[Michael] Well, don’t look now Paul, but it looks like Terri's skirt
is ripped up there on the side.
["Slow Death" playing]
[crowd cheering]
And making their way to the ring,
Molly Holly, Crash, and Hardcore Holly.
[Michael] Well, this is supposed to be a Six-Person Tag Team matchup.
Terri is bound out, so it's Hardcore
and Crash against Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn.
See what I'm talking about? See the skirt?
[Heyman] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. The king of fashion, Michael Cole.
[Michael laughs] Oh, this will be interesting.
Hardcore and Crash set to take on The Radicalz, wasting little time.
-[Heyman] And here we go. It's on. -[Michael] Here we go.
-Outside the ring, Hardcore Holly -[bell ringing]
[Michael] Dean Malenko. Look at inside the ring.
Molly's got Terri.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Molly want her some of Terri and Terri with a slap.
[Heyman] What a slap and-- oh.
Here we go.
[Michael] Oh, look at this.
Oh, referee Teddy Long went down for the cover.
I think he forgot that Terri didn't want this to be a six-person matchup.
-[crowd cheering] -[Michael] Molly's not worried about it.
[Heyman] If she lands in my lap, don't wake me up.
-[Michael] Oh. -[crowd cheering]
Terri with authority in the mat. Molly wonders though.
and there's Perry Saturn, Hardcore Holly now,
exchanging blows, center of the ring.
Tell you this Hardcore Holly, Paul, one tough competitor.
-Oh, big-- -[Heyman] Oh, bam. No doubt.
Taking down Perry Saturn, the bald bombshell.
[Michael] Perry Saturn has gone through a change
over the past few weeks.
So a change ever since he's been dating Terri.
His attire has changed heading to the ring.
Look out. Cover by Hardcore.
There's one, there's two and a kickout.
[Heyman] Well, Terri is a fashion mobile.
It's a shame that she couldn't find any wrestling gear here in the UK.
[Michael] Perry Saturn, clothesline follows up on Hardcore Holly.
Hearing Commissioner Regal saying
Linda McMahon was part of this big charity event in London this weekend,
Make A Wish Foundation,
along with Bradshaw, William Regal, and Stephanie McMahon Helmsley
raising some big money for Make-A-Wish
at the Royal Lancaster Hotel last night.
And Hardcore Holly knocks Perry Saturn off the rope.
Perry holds on and Hardcore tries to take advantage again,
and check this move out.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Oh.
[Heyman] Now, that could change the complexion of an entire contest.
[Michael] Shot to the lower abdomen that time by Hardcore Holly.
Here's the double team by The Hollys, Crash into the corner.
Look out. Big clothesline to Perry Saturn.
Cover, one, two, kickout.
[Heyman] Crash Holly staying right on top of Perry Saturn,
which is what you have to do.
-Otherwise, you get victimized like that. -[Michael] Oh.
Perry Saturn is a machine.
Here's the tag now to Dean Malenko.
Oh. Drop toehold Crash Holly. This should be interesting.
Both of these men, former Light Heavyweight Champions.
Dean Malenko now, Crash, Malenko whipped into the corner.
Here comes Crash, foot to the face by Dean Malenko.
And Malenko is a master in the ring,
but what a slam by Crash Holly.
And a tag to Hardcore.
[Heyman] Now Hardcore Holly in the ring, one-on-one against Dean Malenko.
[Michael] Malenko into the corner, Hardcore nobody home.
And Perry Saturn with a vicious clothesline.
[Heyman] Nice. You gotta admit,
Malenko and Saturn are a well-oiled machine.
These two men both came to the WWE together
as part of The Radicalz.
They stuck together, they've watched each other's back.
And now, they're gonna be stomping a hole in Hardcore together.
[Michael] And Dean Malenko now taking control in this matchup.
It's supposed to be a Six-Person Tag Team match.
It's now broken down to the Malenko and Saturn against the Holly cousins.
And here's Perry Saturn, in off the tag. Oh.
We're talking about Kurt Angle earlier on.
Kurt Angle has to beat Chris Benoit tonight
in a 2-out-of-3 Falls matchup, Paul.
[Heyman] Yes, he does. But then again, Benoit has to beat Angle as well.
Kurt Angle is coming for revenge
-against Chris Benoit. -[Michael] Oh.
[Heyman] Notice how Saturn drove him down into the mat.
[Michael] Brainbuster. Here's the hook on the leg. He's got him.
Two-- no, kickout by Hardcore, who is one tough hombre.
And now, Perry applies the pressure to Hardcore Holly.
[Heyman] And notice how Saturn leans back with this maneuver.
Notice how he pulls back on Holly's chin.
He's not giving Holly a chance to breathe.
I really wish that Terri would've found some wrestling--
[Michael] I do, too. Capacity crowd to its feet.
As Hardcore knocks Perry Saturn into the corner,
Perry went for the clothesline. Hardcore countered, and look at this.
Perry Saturn in control.
I tell you, this Perry Saturn is a machine, Paul.
[Heyman] Perry Saturn can suplex you outta your boots from absolutely nowhere,
and now Perry Saturn goes up top.
[Michael] And high-risk maneuver for Perry Saturn,
went for the elbow, Hardcore rolled out of the way.
And Hardcore Holly, that's unique.
Perry up over the top. I don't think Hardcore knows where he is.
[Heyman] Hardcore doesn't have his legs underneath him.
He needs to make the tag
and he needs to make it quick to either Crash,
or dare I say, could he make the tag to Molly?
[Michael] Molly in the corner here.
Perry Saturn has got a hold to the leg of Hardcore Holly.
And Hardcore makes the tag to cousin Crash.
And here comes Crash, big knockdown on Perry Saturn.
Oh, look at that. Went for the Tilt-a-Whirl and missed it,
got it with the big leg scissors
and now Crash kick to the midsection and Malenko planted.
And Perry Saturn puts a stop to that with a clothesline.
[Heyman] Once again, The Radicalz know each other so well,
they know how to watch each other's backs as Saturn,
Saturn now puts Holly on the top rope.
[Michael] Oh, Crash Holly, he's got a huge heart,
huge resilience, knocks Saturn down.
Top rope now for the former Light Heavyweight Champion,
former Hardcore Champion.
Hurricanrana from the top rope.
Cover, hook of the leg. He's got him-- no.
Malenko breaks up his three-count and here is Hardcore Holly.
[Heyman] How many demonstrations do you need
that The Radicalz are always watching each other's back?
And now Crash goes up with Saturn.
[Michael] Oh. Planting Perry Saturn, here's the cover.
And now Terri in the ring.
-[Heyman] Well, she got the tag. -[Michael] Yeah, she got the tag.
-Molly just tagged her. -[Heyman] Now look at the skirt.
[Heyman] The skirt is tremendous wrestling gear.
[Michael] And Molly and Terri going at it.
[Heyman] I happen to love it a lot, don't you?
I like short skirts like that, but--
[Michael] I love-- I love short skirts.
[Heyman] Especially when they're in the ring.
[Michael] Oh, referee busy with the-- oh, two ladies.
-And there it is, the cover, he got him. -[bell ringing]
[Michael] Perry Saturn, the Moss-Covered Three-Handled Family Gradunza.
[Lilian] Here are your winners, The Radicalz.
["Radicalz" playing]
[Michael] Well, it was the distraction of Terri,
it caught Crash by surprise,
and Perry Saturn of The Radicalz win this one.
[Heyman] Well, Crash, he never looked up Terri's skirt.
And he deserves to lose the match for doing so.
Me, personally,
-I always keep my mind on the wrestling. -[Michael] Yeah, right.
[Heyman] I'm barely noticing she was out here.
[Michael] Yeah, she was wandering around in front of us,
you couldn't take your eyes off her.
Well, it's been a whirlwind couple of days for WWE Commissioner William Regal
back in his home country of England
with a little tour of wonder.
[Heyman] I did like the skirt.

[William] This is the WWE Commissioner, William Regal.
Back here in my home country of England around civilized people for a change.
I've been doing, you know, online interviews,

We're here in a top secret London location ahead of Insurrextion.
It's nice to be home, you know.
I'm from one of the leading sports online websites,
just been down here to meet William Regal, and even interview for Insurrextion.
He's been telling me about how he thinks his fight's gonna go
and how he's been doing off in America.
Glad to see he's kept his English accent.
British fans are very, very passionate about the WWE.
I'm off soon to do a personal appearance
where I'll be signing autographs and photographs
for my friends and fans here in England.
[crowd chanting] Regal, Regal.
And so, stick around and see what happens.
[crowd chanting] Regal, Regal.
I'm absolutely honored to say that I'm here in London, England
surrounded by all my friends and family. Hello.
-Hello, everybody. -[crowd cheering]
And here to say that I'm gonna meet my goodwill ambassador,
England's hero, role model, William Regal, it's an absolute honor.
We got a message for the beer-swilling,

Stop besmirching our commissioner and learn some bloody manners.
Here, we have a message for Sir William from The Queen,

Thank you very much, indeed, for coming.
I'll speak to every single one of you, so please, let's get started.
Oh, my God, it's so fantastic. He's so cute up close. [squeals]
It's just a brilliant atmosphere here.
Loads of people actually get to meet William Regal, get their bits signed.
Just brilliant day.
[William] I don't know what I expected, but I certainly didn't expect this.
It's, uh, a special moment for me.
[rock music playing]
No. Listen, uncle.
I know Chris Jericho is a fan-favorite, everybody loves him.
But do you honestly think my people here in England,
I mean, my people are going to cheer Chris Jericho over me?
-Now, you've got it all wrong. -[crowd cheering]
Listen, I'm the only sports hero left in this country.
I mean, Prince Naseem and Lennox Lewis, they've let everybody down.
I'm not going to let my people down.
Look, the next thing for me is being knighted, you know.
Look, I'll be-- just wait till you hear this ovation
when I walk out there in front of my people.
No, I don't need luck. Thank you very much. Bye-bye.
[clicks tongue, sighs]
-He doesn't need luck. He's commissioner. -Well, he's in action later on,
-The Queen's Cup on the line, it's-- -He's the commissioner.
And he's gonna walk away with The Queen's Cup. It's his.
It's his to lose, he's the commissioner, he doesn't need luck,
he needs better opposition.
"Y2J" Chris Jericho to take on Commissioner Regal tonight.
But guess what? We're coming back to the UK.
-We are? When? -We're coming back in November.
Rebellion at the Manchester Evening News Arena.
And great news, fans, tickets go on sale for Rebellion
this Friday, May 11th at 9:00 a.m.
-Rebellion? -Rebellion.
I know all about Rebellion, and there's gonna be a Rebellion.
It oughta be right here in the UK.
Well, Linda McMahon, the CEO of the World Wrestling Entertainment
has changed all the matches on the card here tonight.
-Except the main event. -Well, except the main event.
One of the matches she changed,
it was supposed to be Big Show versus Test,
but because of injury, that will not take place.
Let's take it back to SmackDown two weeks ago.
[Heyman] Well, finally, a decision by Linda McMahon
that I have to agree with.
The Big Show demolished Test.
Test has a heart and Test will fight anybody,
but there comes a time where a man has to learn that enough is enough.
Wham, the chokeslam, Test is a dead man.
[Michael] Well, don't forget the Triple H powerbomb of Test through a table.
["Big" playing]
[Michael] What is this?
I thought the match wasn't supposed to take place, Big Show versus Test?
[Heyman] Well, the Big Show flew all the way here to the UK.
Obviously, he has something to say to his audience.
[Michael] Well, he's seven-two, 500 pounds.

[Michael] Just going to challenge someone from the audience?
-[Heyman] I don't know. -[Michael] Here in London?
-[Heyman] Maybe he'll fight you. -[Michael] Oh, please. No, not me.
[Heyman] I think you can take him, Michael.
You know, he's been talking about you in the locker room.
-[Michael] What's he been saying? -[Heyman] Oh, lots of things.
Joking about your mom and your family.
I think you should get him right now and fight him.
-[Michael] No, thank you. -[Heyman] No, wait-- look.
[Michael] You can be my surrogate sports entertainer tonight.
[Heyman] No. I'm not seven-two, nor am I 500 pounds,
and until I am that big and that large,
I would never even think of fighting a man this big, this mean, and this nasty.
[Michael] Oh, Big Show is supposed to take on Test tonight,
but because of Test's injuries,
Linda McMahon, the CEO of the World Wrestling Entertainment,
has cancelled that matchup,
but Big Show is asking for a microphone.
[Heyman] Shh, he has something to say.
♪ Come on, crank it up ♪
Now, Test, I didn't come all the way out here
to this rinky-dink little island for nothing.
[crowd booing]
I know your ribs are hurt.
I know that's what the doctors are telling you.
But I'm telling you what's really wrong with ya.
You got a bad case of yellow-itis.
[Michael] Uh-oh.
Do you know what yellow-itis is?
I'm sure everybody here knows what it is.
Yellow-itis means you're a coward.
You have no backbone,
and you don't want any part of me one-on-one.
So, being the little coward that you are,
because I know your lanky self is hanging around in the back,
I want you to drag your clutches down here,
face me like a man
if you got the guts.
And raise my hand victorious
because you are a coward.
[crowd jeering]
-[Michael] Big Show is-- -Test, I know you're back--
Get out here and face me!
Get out here, you yellow-belly coward.
Come on, Test.
I know you're a coward, but come down here like a man.
Come on, Test.
["This is Test" playing]
[Heyman] Oh, this is a mistake.
This is a mistake by Test,
and it's a big, bad mistake.
[Michael] Well, if Test comes out here, Paul--
and there he is.
He's not 100%.
He's favoring those ribs,
but it takes a tremendous amount of guts for Test
to make it down to the ring here tonight.
[Heyman] Man-- if he's smart,
Test will come down to the ring,
raise the Big Show's hand and fight him another day.
Big Show said Test has no backbone.
If Test has a backbone, the Big Show will break it.
♪ Test, this is a Test ♪
[Michael] Test on his way to the ring.
It may not be the smartest move
but I'll tell ya, Big Show called him yellow,
Big Show called him a coward
and Test standing up for what he believes in,
is making his way down to the ring.
[Heyman] Hey, he's in street clothes,
he's gonna play it smart, he'll come in the ring.
-He'll raise-- -Come on, you coward.
[Heyman] He'll raise the Big Show's hand.
He won't fall into this game of punk out.
[Michael] I doubt he's gonna come out here and raise the Big Show's hand.
[Heyman] You don't think he's gonna fight, do you?
If you're gonna step in this ring,
you're gonna raise my hand
because you know and I know
you're nothing but a yellow coward.
[Heyman] There's a difference between guts and insanity.
And I think Test is insane.
You-- He cannot fight the Big Show this way.
[Michael] Well, he's hurt, and look at his ribs, Paul.
Taped up following a powerbomb through a table by Triple H,
and then attacked by the Big Show.
And here's the Big Show hammering away on Test.
And Test is hurt.
He has no business being out there, Paul.
-[Heyman] I agree with you. -[Michael] And look at him battle back.
Test trying to battle back.
The right hand for the Big Show, and another one.
And Test with all his gut-- guts, resilience, and heart.
[Heyman] Oh.
The resilience and heart can't matchup against physicality.
He has broken ribs, look at him.
He's all taped up and Test can come in with a flurry,
but he's a fighting a man that's seven-two, 500 pounds.
[Michael] Well, Test is being a man.
Big Show called him out, he called him yellow-- oh, no.
Big Show.
[Heyman] Oh, my God. Right in the rib.
[Michael] …Injured ribs of Test.
[Heyman] Well, your ribs are broken, even when they're bruised,
you can't breathe right, you can't inhale.
Your body can't absorb the oxygen.
It's such a painful way.
And look how the Big Show just beats on the ribs,
stomps on the ribs.
He's torturing Test.
He's picking him apart, right into the ribs again.
[Michael] A perfect choice of words, Paul.
This is torture to Test as Big Show delivers that 500-pound frame
into those broken ribs of Test.
This is punishment.
It's all punishment for what Test did
at the Last Man Standing match at Backlash, Paul.
Test involved into that matchup
helped Shane McMahon defeat the Big Show.
Come on, Show.
[Heyman] But why would Test come out here tonight?
-He had the night off. -[crowd chanting] Test! Test!
[Heyman] Linda McMahon cancelled this match and Test got punked out.
[Michael] Because he has guts. Because he's a man. He's not a coward.
[Heyman] This is not about guts.
This is about sanity versus insanity.
This is about, with broken ribs,
fighting a man that's seven-two, 500 pounds.
This is another example
of why nobody,
especially somebody in the WWE in the back,
none of you cowards here…
[crowd booing]
Yeah, boo all you want. You know it's the truth.
And definitely nobody on this planet
that can stop me one-on-one.
-Hit my music. -["Big" playing]
[Michael] The Big Show making an example
of an injured Test here tonight, Paul.
Big Show is still angry over Test
involving in that Last Man Standing matchup last week.
[Heyman] And you know what I like?
He just challenged the whole locker room and nobody answered.
You know why? 'Cause he did send a message.
'Cause he is seven-two, 'cause he is 500 pounds.
And there's nobody, and I mean nobody, that wants to stand up to the Big Show.
And nor do I blame anybody for backing down from this monster.
[Michael] I was gonna say, would you walk out?
-["Protection" playing] -[Michael] Wait a minute.
Did you say nobody?
Did you just say nobody?
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] I think that somebody is Bradshaw of the APA.
And Bradshaw hammering away,
taking up the Big Show on his challenge.
[Heyman] Oh, here's the guy that wants to go with the Big Show,
and it's Bradshaw.
Bradshaw of the APA taking the fight to the Big Show.
[Michael] Well, Paul, Bradshaw just likes to fight for a living.
He enjoys it. He's out here to have a little fun in jolly old England.
Oh! Look out.
Big Show with a big forearm to the back of Bradshaw.
[Heyman] But even Bradshaw gets manhandled…
-[bell ringing] -[Heyman] …by the Big Show?
Oh, man, it's a match. The referee said, "Let's go."
[Michael] Well, Big Show made the challenge, and here we go.
Big Show against Bradshaw, a surprise here on Insurrextion.
[Heyman] So we got a bonus here tonight.
[Michael] Ooh! Sidewalk Slam to Bradshaw by the Big Show.
[Heyman] The Big Show goes back to what works
and just manhandles Bradshaw.
A headbutt. This man's whole body is a weapon.
[Michael] Well, he's seven-two, 500 pounds.
His hand is as big as my head.
Can you imagine that slamming into your chest?
[Heyman] No. I never want to imagine something like that.
[Michael] That big elbow to the back of the neck of Bradshaw.
[Heyman] That has to rock your equilibrium.
And if you can't stand, you can't fight.
[Michael] And there you see the EMTs down the ringside.
Test extremely hurt after that punishment by the Big Show earlier on.
[Heyman] Test has been taken out.
The Big Show took out Test
and now the Big Show is taking out Bradshaw.
[Michael] Well, if this continues in the ring, Paul,
they may have to leave these EMTs down for Bradshaw,
but Bradshaw trying to battle back.
And here comes Bradshaw of the APA with a big right hand.
No reversal-- Oh, with authority!
How do you stop the Big Show? How do you do it?
Oh.
[Heyman] I don't know, because Bradshaw is one big dude.
I mean, he's scary big
and even Bradshaw can't stop the Big Show.
[Michael] Well, perhaps Bradshaw can use his quickness.
He's six-seven, 300 pounds and he's dwarfed by the Big Show.
[Heyman] He looks small against the Big Show, doesn't he?
[Michael] A high-risk maneuver now for Bradshaw.
Top rope, what's he gonna do here?
Is he gonna try to get the big sequoia off his feet? And he does!
Shoulder block, the Show's down.
[Heyman] The Show's down and Bradshaw is right on top of him, and smartly so.
He cannot let the Big Show up for one moment.
He needs to take advantage-- Oh, no!
By the throat, it's over, good night.
Thank you for watching.
[Michael] Oh, Bradshaw blocked it on the top rope.
Big Show can't believe it.
Bradshaw knocked out of the rope.
[Heyman] That's like a Lennox Lewis fight.
Wham, one punch and he's down.
[Michael] Oh, right in front of us.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Big Show with a right hand to Bradshaw.
What a clothesline.
[Heyman] Damn, is he big.
He's like frighteningly big.
[Michael] Other EMTs helping Test away from ringside,
and it's a good thing 'cause Big Show is tearing up the joint.
Did you see that?
He just shoved the referee into the barricade.
[Heyman] And the Big Show throws the chair into the ring,
and he's not done with Test.
The Big Show is not done with Test.
[Michael] What the hell is he doing?
Leave him alone out there.
Hasn't enough damage been inflicted by this monster?
[Heyman] Apparently not.
The Big Show is not done with Test now.
[Michael] Oh, come on. He's got injured ribs.
Big Show destroyed him two weeks ago.
He's done the same damn thing tonight.
And now, he's throwing him in the ring for more.
[Heyman] Test should never have entered the challenge
of the seven-two, 500 pound Big Show.
[Michael] Oh, Big Show with that steel chair.
Test blocked it, the boot, the boot.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Bradshaw back in the ring.
Show to his feet, wobbly.
The Clothesline from Hell, cover.
-One, two, three. -[crowd] One, two, three.
[Michael] Bradshaw has slain the Big Show.
["Protection" playing]
[Lilian] Here is your winner, Bradshaw.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Test with a measure of revenge.
Bradshaw defeats the Big Show.
[Heyman] Yeah, but with the help of Test.
But even with the help of Test, to me, that's a minor miracle.
[Michael] Can you imagine Bradshaw in London tonight,
partying over this victory in the pubs?
[Heyman] If I was Bradshaw, I'd hightail it out of town right now,
and if I was Test-- oh, I'd leave the country right now
because they have upset the Big Show.
[Michael] Following the boot, it was the Clothesline from Hell
from Bradshaw to the Big Show.
You can feel that impact throughout Earl's Court.
[Heyman] But give the Big Show credit,
he fought two men and fought them valiantly
and they had to double up on the Big Show just to beat him.
[Michael] And look at how angry the Big Show is.
He wants Bradshaw. He wants Test.
You haven't heard the last of this.
[crowd booing]
Certainly, an unexpected surprise just moments ago.
And "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, we may see another
unexpected surprise later tonight,
'cause we heard earlier on the show from Linda McMahon
that The Undertaker not only agreed
to the match with you and Triple H tonight,
but actually asked for the match with you and Triple H tonight.
My question to you is--
No, no. You ain't gotta ask me no questions.
Let me ask you a question.
How stupid is The Undertaker?
Don't look at me like that. Give me a-- give me an answer.
-All right. I-- -Now shut up.
How stupid is The Undertaker to request a match like this?
The son of a bitch
threw "Stone Cold" Steve Austin through a plate glass window
and damn near blinded me,
which means he's gonna have hell on his hands,
which is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
But he's gonna let Triple H out there?
Uh-uh. That's a bad decision on his part. And you know what?
It's too bad because what's gonna happen to The Undertaker
is me and Triple H gonna take him out just like we did his brother, Kane.
Bam, he's gone.
And you know what? I feel sorry for him,
and I don't feel sorry for too many people
that ten years of destruction, that wonderful career
that The Undertaker had has gotta end
in a piece of crap country like this.
[crowd jeering]
And that is the bottom line.
[crowd cheering]
[explosions]
["We're Coming Down" playing]
[Lilian] At a combined weight of 565 pounds,
Bubba Ray and D-Von, the Dudley Boyz.
[Michael] It sounds as if Earl's Court is about to explode.
D-Von, Bubba Ray on their way to the ring.
We're back.
♪ How we shut it down ♪
♪ We give it a blast ♪
♪ Keep it real though Just shoes in they ass! ♪
[Michael] The former Tag Team Champions set for action
in this four-team elimination matchup.
[Heyman] Bubba Ray and D-Von come down tonight with a distinct purpose,
not only to win the match,
but perhaps, just perhaps, to make Edge, Christian, the X-Factor,
or The Hardys, taste a little wood.
["Loaded" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Lilian] Making their way to the ring, from Cameron, North Carolina,
at a combined weight of 430 pounds,
Matt and Jeff, the Hardy Boyz.
[Michael] Oh, Paul, I'll tell you something.
They're former Tag Team Champions, but they've been on a major roll
in singles competition as of late.
Jeff Hardy, former Intercontinental Champion.
Matt Hardy, the current European Champion.
[Heyman] Oh, no doubt.
And this, to me, is the most extreme tag team in the WWE,
and no one knows extreme like I do.
[Michael] It was just a week ago on SmackDown,
Matt Hardy defeated Eddie Guerrero for the European title
and Jeff Hardy on SmackDown a few weeks back
perhaps the greatest upset in the history of SmackDown,
defeating Triple H for the Intercontinental gold.
[bell ringing]
[Michael] And here we go now, four-team elimination matchup.
And the rules in this matchup are pretty simple.
Once you're pinned or submit, your team is eliminated.
However, you can tag anyone into this match.
[Heyman] Three teams must lose.
Only one team has the opportunity to win.
The question is, who can survive?
Edge and Christian, the Dudleys, The Hardys, or the X-Factor?
[Michael] No it's gonna be Justin Credible squaring off
against Bubba Ray Dudley.
Now keep in mind, Justin Credible does not have to tag X-Pac into this matchup.
He can tag any of the other competitors.
But Albert, there's the distraction from ringside
and Justin takes control.
[Heyman] Justin Credible with a quick right hand,
but Bubba Ray slugging it out with Justin Credible.
[Michael] Justin Credible whipped across the ring, into the corner.
Look at that, with authority.
And Bubba Ray Dudley with a big hip toss.
Riles it up with a slam.
Bubba Ray Dudley and the Dudley Boyz,
and there's the tag from Justin Credible…
-No way in hell. -[Michael] …to Matt Hardy.
[Heyman] So, now the European Champion, Matt Hardy, steps into the ring.
[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] And he's gonna step in the ring with Christian.
Christian just forced the tag to Bubba Ray Dudley,
so it's Christian
and the European Champion, Matt Hardy.
[Michael] And I've got a question for you, Paul.
The rivalry you talked about earlier,
the Hardy Boyz, Edge, Christian, Dudley Boyz,
you've seen Table, Ladders, and Chairs matches in the light.
Is this is the greatest three-team tag team rivalry
you've ever seen in the history of sports entertainment?
[Heyman] No doubt. No doubt at all.
And now with the X-Factor involved, it can only get more interesting.
[Michael] Christian with the leapfrog over Matt.
There's the dropkick up underneath the chin.
And Edge and Christian start a premature celebration.
All three teams must be eliminated before a fourth team can win.
[Heyman] What I love about this match is the possibilities that exist right now.
Who can tag in against the other guy?
Tremendous, tremendous number of possibilities.
[Michael] You know, there's also a possibility
that two people on the same team could be in the ring at the same time.
[Heyman] That'd be very interesting,
but you don't want to eliminate your own team.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And Jeff Hardy now taking it to Christian,
the Hardy Boyz working well together as a team,
the former Tag Team Champions.
And tagged Edge.
And Edge hammers away.
[Heyman] Edge stomping Jeff Hardy right in the face.
[Michael] Seven-time Tag Team Champions, Edge and Christian.
Edge misses with the clothesline and there's Jeff Hardy into the cover.
One, two, and Edge kicks out.
[Heyman] Twenty-three years old.
That is unreal.
Jeff Hardy is 23 years old,
and now X-Pac.
X-Pac tags in.
And here's the man with youth and experience.
He's been wrestling since he was 14 years old.
Not even 30 years old yet.
[Michael] Jeff Hardy ripped off the ropes by X-Pac.
Here comes Jeff now.
Look at this. Hurricanrana off the whirl.
X-Pac in La-La Land.
And Jeff tags in. No, he doesn't.
Now he does. His partner Matt.
Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy brother's, Matt,
the current European Champion. Last week on SmackDown,
Matt Hardy won the title.
Cover, hook of the leg. He's got him. No, kickout after two.
[Heyman] Great presence of mind by X-Pac.
He rolls over onto his stomach.
He never wants to keep his back onto Matt.
He never ever wants to be in a pinning predicament.
[Michael] Well, X-Pac favoring his knee, but distracting the referee
and Justin Credible, I think Matt Hardy's--
[Heyman] I think that's gonna ruin Lita's night.
[Michael] Pretty much so, as X-Pac delivers that knee
to the side of the head of Matt Hardy.
And speaking of Lita, she's supposed to be involved in that huge
Women's Battle Royal later on tonight at Insurrextion.
Kick to the midsection by X-Pac
and now Matt Hardy is in all kinds of trouble
in a corner he does not wanna be in.
[Heyman] You don't wanna be in any corner but your own,
and X-Pac, X-Pac now riding Matt Hardy.
[Michael] The Bronco Buster wants the applause from the crowd,
will only get boos from this crowd in London.
And a tag to Justin Credible.
[Heyman] The one man crime spree, Justin Credible,
taking the fight to the European Champion, Matt Hardy.
If you score a pinfall over Matt Hardy,
not only do you eliminate the Hardy Boyz,
you might get in line for European title match.
[Michael] And how important is this four-team elimination matchup
for who is in line to challenge Triple H and Stone Cold
for the tag team titles?
[Heyman] Oh.
[Michael] Big knockdown by Matt Hardy.
[Heyman] That Matt Hardy needs to make a tag to anybody.
Anybody.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Crowd trying to come to its feet for Matt Hardy.
Matt to his brother Jeff.
And here comes the high flyer, the daredevil.
The quick Jeff Hardy.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Oh.
And Jeff taking out X-Factor all on his own
and now Edge and Christian.
[Heyman] Jeff taking on everybody in the match all on his own.
[Michael] Justin whipped into the corner
and here comes some poetry in motion.
And the Dudley Boyz in, Edge and Christian as well.
It's broken out at Insurrextion.
Oh, X-Pac moved out of the way,
Jeff got caught up on the top rope.
X-Pac off the rope, look out. Matt Hardy setting him up, Twist of Fate.
[Heyman] He got him. And here comes Albert.
[Michael] Albert splashed his own partner, X-Pac.
Jeff Hardy top rope,
Swanton Bomb.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] The cover.
-X-Factor eliminated. -[bell rings]
[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] Okay. But that's only one team down.
We still have two more to go and one team to win.
[Michael] Well, X-Factor's eliminated
but there's still a problem outside the ring.
Albert and Justin Credible beating the hell out of Matt Hardy
and the double team from Edge and Christian, The Unprettier,
the cover, hook of the leg.
-[Heyman] He got him. -[bell ringing]
[Heyman] The Hardys are out.
It's down to the Dudleys against Edge and Christian.
You talk about a storied rivalry.
The Dudleys, Bubba and D-Von against Edge and Christian.
One team is gonna lose,
one team will survive.
[Michael] Edge and Christian hitting each other.
The Dudley Boyz are rolling with the clotheslines.
Oh, look out.
Double flapjack by the Dudleys.
Christian had some elevation on that maneuver.
[Heyman] And meanwhile now, the Dudleys slow down the pace.
They dictate that pace.
The Dudleys are gonna dissect Edge and Christian.
[Michael] You make a good point.
The Dudley Boyz want the pace slow
where Edge and Christian want the pace faster.
[Heyman] No doubt, the faster the pace,
the more you see the advantage of Edge and Christian.
[Michael] Slam by D-Von, hook of the leg.
Could be it-- two.
And somehow Christian kicked out.
[Heyman] The Dudley Boyz like to dissect their opponents
limb by limb, piece by piece and D-Von,
D-Von now with the added leverage
of being up on the ropes with that taped fist,
wham, right down into Christian.
[Michael] Oh, look out, D-Von hung up by Edge,
referee had his back turned
and D-Von in trouble.
Christian tries to take advantage
and what a version of the backbreaker to D-Von Dudley.
[Heyman] But this is a far more dangerous maneuver.
He drove D-Von's neck right into his own knee.
Right into his own knee, snapped back D-Von's neck.
It could cause a whiplash injury that could separate--
that could separate the vertebrae.
It's a real, real dangerous maneuver.
[Michael] Well, Edge with the right hand to D-Von Dudley.
This crowd trying to will the Dudley Boyz, back into this matchup.
[Heyman] And where there-- where there's a will, there's a way,
but there may not be a way.
-Cover by-- cover for D-Von. -[Michael] Cover by Edge.
Hook of the leg, he's got it-- no. D-Von got the shoulder up.
[Heyman] Again, all the champions showing that same instinct getting off their back.
Back rolling over onto their belly,
making sure they're not in a pinning predicament.
[Michael] Bubba Ray pleading for a tag from his brother D-Von.
D-Von trying to battle back.
The right hands to Christian
and a forearm by Christian as well
and now D-Von in the wrong corner.
Edge and Christian doing a tremendous job isolating D-Von Dudley
and there was a better maneuver.
[Heyman] No doubt. Christian luring in Bubba Ray
suckering him in for the double team now.
Edge and Christian on D-Von,
D-Von, wrong place, wrong time.
[Michael] And now Edge in off the tag,
the double team continues for Edge and Christian,
seven-time Tag Team Champion.
In fact, Edge and Christian have won
the two Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches.
[Heyman] No doubt. So this could be a huge, huge victory
for the Dudley Boyz, or yet another notch in the belt
of Edge and Christian.
[crowd jeering]
[Michael] Edge is getting extremely confident right now.
D-Von Dudley hanging onto his legs trying to drag himself to his feet.
[crowd chatter]
[Heyman] D-Von just doesn't give up. D-Von is so tenacious.
D-Von just keeps on slugging away.
[Michael] And look at D-Von battling back, right hands.
Great drop toehold by Edge. And here comes Christian.
[Heyman] And see how Edge locks up the ankle,
he does not let D-Von get closer to his own corner.
And now Christian comes in and Christian,
Christian has D-Von all locked up for Edge--
for Edge to capitalize on the advantage.
[Michael] Edge now into the ring.
D-Von Dudley has been in the ring an awful long time.
He's taking an extreme amount of punishment.
What is Edge doing here?
You could see the look of concern on the face of Bubba Ray Dudley,
D-Von's brother.
D-Von in no man's land.
Top rope, Edge setting him up.
D-Von counters, and Edge face first.
[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] But D-Von has to capitalize.
He needs to be abusive yet illusive.
He hits the move. He needs to make the tag.
[Michael] Can D-Von get to his brother, Bubba Ray Dudley?
Can Edge get to his brother Christian?
The Four-Team Elimination Tag match is down to two
with huge implications on the line.
Bubba Ray in off the tag.
[Heyman] Oh, the ref didn't see it.
What a bad time for the Dudleys.
D-Von is back in the wrong corner
and Edge and Christian go to work on D-Von.
[Michael] The double team by Edge and Christian.
Now, Edge drops off the apron
and it allows Christian to take control again.
[Heyman] Bubba can't get frustrated now.
He needs to keep his composure.
[Michael] D-Von across the back, another backbreaker.
It could be it, hook of the leg. Bubba Ray breaks up the three-count.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Christian in control yet again. It's been an entertaining matchup,
a tremendously physical matchup between these teams
and Christian with a rake to the eyes, blink.
Elbow by Christian again.
And every time D-Von tries to get a little offense going,
Christian counters, but maybe not this time.
[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] Big move by D-Von,
real big move but he needs to make the tag.
The question is does D-Von have it inside of himself to make it to the corner
-and tag Bubba Ray? -[referee counting]
[Heyman] Edge wants in. Bubba wants in.
The race has begun.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Here comes Bubba Ray, here comes Edge, and Bubba Ray is rolling.
Edge hung up, top rope.
Christian, big bad body drop!
The elevation, sidewalk slam.
Hook of the leg, could be it, two.
And Christian hit his own partner.
And Bubba Ray can feel it.
[Heyman] Bubba Ray now has Christian, wham!
Right down on the tailbone and Bubba Ray now setting up Edge.
[Michael] The slam by Bubba Ray Dudley.
The crowd knows what's coming next.
It's a universal language.
-[Heyman] It is? -[Michael] Yes.
[Heyman] What's it mean?
-[Michael] What's up? -[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] Whatever goes up must come down!
And down right in between the legs of Edge,
and oh, no, this is bad for Edge and Christian.
[crowd cheering]
Get the tables!
[Michael] Bubba Ray calling for the tables.
They may get one at Earls Court.
The Dudleys' so dangerous with this table, Paul.
Edge and Christian, they thought they had it scouted
and they walked right into the table.
These teams know each other so well.
[Heyman] What a rivalry we've witnessed for the past couple of years
between these two teams,
Bubba and D-Von.
[Michael] They were setting them up for the 3D
but Edge pulled Christian out of the ring.
And here comes D-Von.
Wait a minute, look at the ring.
-[Heyman] Gore, Gore, Gore! -[Michael] Rhyno, Rhyno!
Rhyno with a Gore to Bubba Ray Dudley.
The ref never saw it.
-Edge and Christian still won. -[bell rings]
[Michael] Thanks to their friend, the Hardcore Champion, Rhyno.
[Lilian] Here are your winners, Edge and Christian!
[Michael] And now Rhyno, Rhyno gets the table.
The last man to hold the ECW title,
Rhyno, the Hardcore Champion,
Rhyno master of the Gore, has brought the table into the ring.
-[crowd cheering] -[Michael] Wait a minute. Check it out.
It's the Dudley Boyz brother, Spike's in the ring.
It's Spike Dudley.
The Dudley dog, no, Rhyno countered.
[Heyman] Christian into Rhyno, and Spike now setting Edge up.
[Michael] Look at this, Dudley Dog by Spike Dudley.
Christian up over the top.
[Heyman] Oh, no.
I do not like the looks of this.
[Michael] The Hardcore Champion about to feel what Hardcore is all about,
-3D, Dudleys. -[crowd cheering]
["We're Coming Down" playing]
♪ Yeah, that's right ♪
[Michael] I'll tell you, Paul,
Edge and Christian may have won this match.
Thanks to their buddy, Rhyno,
but Rhyno, the Hardcore Champion got the worst of it.
[Heyman] He paid the price,
but Edge and Christian walk away with the victory.
Spike Dudley, the runt of the Dudley litter.
Five-five a buck fifty saves the day for the Dudley Boyz.
[Michael] D-Von and Bubba Ray with a 3D over Rhyno through a table.
[Heyman] Boy, that Gore took a lot out of Bubba.
Watch this.
The Dudleys setting up Christian for a 3D, Edge, always on his feet,
pulls Christian out of the ring, Rhyno, Rhyno, Bubba Ray turns around.
Gore, Gore, Gore!
Rhyno takes down Bubba Ray, and then the ultimate revenge,
-Rhyno turns around, 3D through the table. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Well, we've talked about it throughout the show, Paul,
WWE superstars helping out last night at the Royal Lancaster Hotel,
a big event for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
I wanna thank everybody for making it at the World Wrestling Entertainment,
Eve of Insurrextion Charity Dinner, first of its kind event here in the UK,
and all of you are privy to it.
And it's going to be a wonderful evening and we're going to have a lot of fun.
He's been known to drink beer, so he should be at home
in an event like this.
Ladies and gentlemen, Bradshaw, William Regal, ladies and gentlemen,
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.
And yes, she is the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment,
which is a lot more than just the wrestling that goes on in the ring.
Ladies and gentlemen, Linda McMahon.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes for children
with life-threatening illness.
We are there to bring back the magic
into the lives of these very special children.
And the more money we make, on a serious note,
the more wishes that we can make come true.
Five-thousand pounds, we have seven-thousand pounds.
-Fifteen-thousand pounds. -[applause]
Well, in just a few moment we're gonna get
to our question-and-answer session with superstar.
Stephanie, do you enjoy wrestling in the ring or just being a ***** backstage?
[crowd chatter]
I take great offense to that question, and whoever wrote it can come up on stage
and be slapped by me.
[crowd cheering]
Michael Cole wrote it. I don't want to start-- Michael Cole, that was his own.
For the haircut and the suit, you deserve a slap.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Yup. My ear is still ringing, still ringing.
We are live and sold out at Earls Court in London, England.
-Thanks for joining us for Insurrextion. -[Heyman laughing]
-You find that funny? -[Heyman laughing] Oh, I know.
[Michael] Well, the stars are joining us, folks, in the House here in Insurrextion,
Eamonn Holmes from GMTV.
We also got a lot of huge stars including Chris Tarrant
from Who Wants To Be a Millionaire,
and Gianfranco Zola from the Chelsea Football Club.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Huge reaction from Gianfranco,
having a blast at Earls Court.
[crowd booing]
Kurt Angle, we are just moments away
from your best 2-out-of-3 falls match with Chris Benoit.
And after losing your gold medals this past week--
Whoa, whoa. What are you, nuts?
I didn't lose my medals.
They were stolen.
Even these English people can understand that.
And after I beat Chris Benoit, not once, but twice tonight,
after I break his will, and after I break his ankle in half,
I'm gonna take back my gold medals, and put them right where they belong,
right around my neck.
Well, a gold medalist Kurt Angle, Paul, is set for action.
Coming up next, he's gonna take on Chris Benoit, 2-out-of-3 falls.
-["Censorship" playing] -So, Chris Benoit stole the medals from--
What?
[Heyman] Am I on camera? Hello?
[Michael] Well, you were on camera.
-[Heyman] Hello? -[Michael] Steven Richards and Ivory,
Right to Censor, what the hell are they doing out here?
-[crowd booing] -[Heyman] I don't know. I don't like it.
Why are you asking me?
[Michael] I don't think they were invited to Insurrextion.
[Heyman] Or they weren't invited to interrupt
when I'm on camera talking.
[Michael] Much of the crowd at Earls Court
giving Right to Censor a… a round of boos.
This group who tries to stop freedom of expression,
is obviously out here not to greet the folks in London.
[Heyman] I hate censorship, personally.
Almost as much as I hate you, but let's not go there.
[music fades]
I think Gianfranco Zola likes censorship, though.
[crowd chatter]
[crowd booing]
[Michael] I wish Steven Richards should worry about winning matches
than censoring people.
You people should all be ashamed of yourselves.
-[crowd booing] -[Michael] Why now?
I heard what was going on in this country,
and I had to come here in person to tell each and every one of you
that what you're doing is wrong.
[crowd booing]
People should come to this country
to see Big Ben and the London Bridge,
not naked breasts on page three
of the daily newspaper.
[crowd cheering]
A newspaper that is sold to children.
-That's right. -[crowd cheering]
No more. No more, Steven.
Children viewing naked breasts.
[crowd cheering]
It's no wonder that this society is so disturbed.
But everything will be okay,
because I, Steven Richards, will be your Martin Luther King.
I, Steven Richards, will be your Winston Churchill.
I will fight for each and every one of you
so your children do not have to view this poisonous sexuality.
No more, no more, no more.
So, tonight, I have started the fight right here in England,
and I have spoken to Commissioner Regal,
and he has allowed me
to sensor the ladies' Battle Royal.
-[Heyman] What? -[Michael] What?
[crowd booing]
[Heyman] He said he's gonna sensor the ladies' Battle Royal.
-[Michael] I know. -So, I officially announce
that the ladies' Battle Royal is cancelled.
-[Michael] Oh, come on. -[crowd booing]
So, ladies, please come out here,
and show all these good people
that you too can indeed change your ways.
First, Miss Jackie.
["Pretty Mean Sister" playing]
[Michael] Miss Jacqueline is gonna come out here to show these people
that she can change her ways, the former Women's Champion?
[Heyman] Did you ever think Ivory would've changed her ways?
You never know. She might be the next recruit.
[Michael] Now, Steven Richards just dropped a bombshell, folks.
He said he spoke with Commissioner Regal,
and the commissioner agreed that the Women's Battle Royal set for tonight
is gonna be cancelled.
[Heyman] I didn't know that the RTC was in with the commish.
I'm very impressed. I got to admit it.
And so should you for that matter.
And now, if she's not too busy pushing up her breast anymore,
please bring out Trish Stratus.
-[Michael] Trish Stratus? -[crowd cheering]
["Time to Rock & Roll" playing]
[Michael] Great reaction for Trish here at sold out, Earls Court in London.
Trish the former play thing of Mr. McMahon,
but she-- Well, she realized the error of her ways.
Speaking of Mr. McMahon,
that divorce thing is really getting to him.
[Heyman] Oh, you think so?
Why do you think it's getting to him?
[Michael] Saw his reaction earlier tonight when Linda showed up,
changed the whole card for Insurrextion, he was not pleased.
[Heyman] I just think he's a loving husband,
and wants to do what's right for his wife.
[Michael] Oh, come on.
[Heyman] Oh, you don't think that women should have the power
-to make decisions every now and then? -[Steven] And now,
possibly the most disgusting,
lewd woman in the World Wrestling Entertainment,
-Lita. -[crowd cheering]
["It Just Feels Right" playing]
[Michael] All these thousands of fans in Earl Court don't find Lita too disgusting.
In fact, somewhere down the road,
Lita is getting a shot at Chyna's Women's title.
[Heyman] Can you imagine Lita versus Chyna, one-on-one?
I can. You didn't answer my question.
My question was not rhetorical.
[Michael] Oh, it's gonna be a great matchup.
-[Heyman] Thank you. -[Michael] Chyna has been dominating
the Women's division, may not be quite that way
when Lita gets into the ring with the Ninth Wonder of the World.
["It Just Feels Right" continues playing]
[Heyman] So let's see who joins the RTC now.
[Ivory] Look at all of you, look at all of you.
You can look at all of us, people, and it's clear
to see that I am the only woman fit for royalty.
-[crowd booing] -[Michael laughs]
Thank you.
All I see here are a bunch of street corner slappers.
[Michael] Oh, you know what slapper means?
[Heyman] No. Why don't you tell me?
[Michael] Don't wanna go there.
[Ivory] Steven,
I think we're wasting our time on this collection of trash.
But don't worry,
I will continue to fight the good fight with you.
[Michael] Well, that's reassuring.
Look out. Jackie from behind, dropkick to Ivory.
And now, Lita and Jacqueline
taking this press for a ride.
Observes Right to Censor right. What are they doing?
[Heyman] I don't know, but might make this right
and there's strength in numbers.
-And they're ripping off Ivory's clothes. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Ivory has been-- She's been stripped of her shirt.
These ladies are-- and check out-- check it out.
[Heyman] I am checking it out.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Trish, Jacqueline, and Lita showing Ivory what they think about her.
[Heyman] You know, my aunt Sadie has the same type of bloomers.
You see, that's what-- you people cheer for that?
-[crowd cheering] -[Michael] I thought it was hilarious.
[Heyman] Yeah. But Steven doesn't.
All of you people need my direction,
not the encouragement of these hussies.
[crowd booing]
[Michael] Steven Richards is extremely upset.
Look at the look in his-- in his face.
Well, Lita and Jacqueline want Steven and--
[Heyman] I think Trish wants him in a different way.
[Michael] Steven may think twice about Right to Censor after this.
Stevie, it must be so hard to be in control all the time.
Why don't you let someone else take control?
-[breathes heavily] -Don't worry, you're in good hands.
[Michael] Oh! Trish,
a shot to Steven Richards,
-and now Steven Richards is being exposed. -[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] You can't fight with your pants down around your ankle.
[Michael] DDT, and that's what Trish, Lita, and Jacqueline
think of Right to Censor.
Oh, they're not through yet.
[Heyman] Oh, no, Lita's going up.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Lita to the top rope.
[crowd cheering]
A Litasault from the top rope.
Lita, Jacqueline, Trish saying, "To heck with the Right to Censor."
Steven Richards, returning to the US with his tail between his legs.
That's Women's Right for you.
[Heyman] And the left too.
[Michael] Right to Censor thought they were gonna change Lita, Trish,
and Jacqueline, all they did was anger 'em.
Well, folks, it's turned into to perhaps the most competitive rivalry
in the WWE today.
Two technically sound wrestlers, Benoit and Angle.
[Kurt] Chris Benoit, last night at Backlash
in our Ultimate Submission match,
you showed the whole entire world that you are without a shadow of a doubt,
the biggest cheater walking God's green earth.
And when the final seconds tick away,
Chris Benoit tapped out after the buzzer.
And the ref called for sudden death in overtime.
Olympic rules state that-- that if there is a sudden death,
it happens immediately after the buzzer.
Therefore, Chris Benoit tapped out, I'm the winner and he is the loser.
[Benoit] At Backlash,
after 30 plus minutes of the Ultimate Submission match,
I beat you.
It's true. It's true.
[Heyman] Oh, here you go, it's on.
[Ross] Angle assaulting Benoit with a takedown,
resuming where they left off at Backlash.
Oh my God, Angle dropped on his head.
Right out-- Right outside, over the top to the floor.
-[Heyman] Wait a minute. -[Ross] Benoit picking up Angle's medals.
[Heyman] Chris Benoit just stole the Olympic gold medals
that Kurt Angle earned.
["Whatever" playing]
[Michael] There is no doubt, "The Rabid Wolverine" Chris Benoit,
Paul Heyman, has had Kurt Angle's number.
-["Whatever" continues] -[crowd cheering]
[bell rings]
[Lilian] The following is a best 2-out-of-3 falls.
Introducing first, from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada,
weighing in at 229 pounds, Chris Benoit!
[Heyman] Man, I am looking forward to this match beyond description.
This to me was worth the trip over the water,
Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, 2-out-of-3 falls.
["Medal" playing]
[Lilian] From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
weighing in at 237 pounds, Kurt Angle!
[Michael] And Kurt does not look happy as he makes his way down to the ring,
gold medalist Kurt Angle minus his gold medals.
[Heyman] Well, my Olympic hero, Kurt Angle, wants his gold medals back.
And I can't blame him, he earned them,
he won them in the 1996 Olympics.
Chris Benoit, I'm losing my patience with you.
Where the hell are my gold medals?
[crowd chatter]
I want my gold medals back right now!
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] That is a good question, Paul, where are Kurt Angle's gold medals?
Hey, why don't you calm the hell down, Kurt?
Let me assure you that, well, your medals,
they're in a very safe and--
well, safe and warm place.
[Michael] Warm place?
Well, they can't be in England because it's freezing over here.
[Heyman laughs mockingly] He's so funny.
-[Michael] Well, it is chilly. -[Heyman] Ah, shh.
[Michael] Well, this is gonna be interesting,
Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, 2-out-of-3 falls, just a week ago,
Paul, involved in that 30-minute Ultimate Submission matchup.
-[bell rings] -[Michael] A matchup that Chris Benoit
defeated Kurt Angle in overtime.
[Heyman] A controversial sudden death overtime,
because in the IOC rules in the Olympics,
a sudden death overtime happens immediately after the buzzer.
[Michael] This had nothing to do with the Olympics,
it had to do with World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Heyman] Right. But Kurt Angle prepared,
I mean-- oh, now, you're gonna take me on with this?
Kurt Angle prepared for a 30-minute match,
not a 31-minute match, not a 35-minute match,
not a 32-minute match, a 30-minute match.
He wrestled a 30-minute match. Give Benoit credit.
He proved to be Angle's equal in submission wrestling.
But then Angle had to come back to the ring for a sudden death overtime?
Unfair.
[Michael] But again, Paul Heyman, Kurt Angle came out here
and said Chris Benoit cheated.
He said he should've won the matchup, you know, Benoit did tap out
after the buzzer rang in a 30-minute time limit.
And look at Benoit, locking on Angle, trying to go for the Crossface.
[Heyman] And this is a dangerous match because now, it's not just submissions,
it's pinfalls as well.
[Michael] 2-out-of-3 falls, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit.
Arguably, Paul, the two best technical wrestlers in the world today.
[Heyman] Only a six-pound weight differential between the two.
Angle weighing in at 237, Benoit 229,
and now, 2-out-of-3 falls, pinfalls or submissions.
Benoit, Angle, we might find out tonight
who truly is the best technical wrestler
in the World Wrestling Entertainment today.
[Michael] Nice fireman's carry by Kurt Angle, quickly rolls over,
Benoit counters, and Chris Benoit, the Rabid Wolverine,
couldn't put on a clinic here with this counterpart Angle.
Going for the Crossface, can he lock it in?
Angle wisely gets to the ropes.
[Heyman] Phenomenal presence of mind by Kurt Angle.
He knows where he is at all times
and you have to when you're in the ring with Benoit,
especially when Benoit wants to apply the Crossface.
But Angle is clearly distracted this evening,
Angle needs in his heart to know where his gold medals are.
[Michael] Well, you know, the gold medals for Kurt Angle,
it's the fiber of his being, Paul,
the gold medals mean everything to this man, a 1996 Olympian,
Kurt Angle, winning the gold medals in his home country, the USA in Atlanta, Georgia.
Those gold medals mean everything. That's what Kurt Angle has lived for.
And now, he no longer has possession of them.
[Heyman] Right, Benoit does, in a safe, warm place, wherever the hell that is.
-Means-- Is-- What it means. -[Michael] Look at Chris Benoit working
on Kurt Angle, working on that right arm,
-and Angle-- -[Heyman] Going for the ankle lock!
[Michael] Went for the ankle lock, Benoit to the rope,
great counter by Chris Benoit.
I'll tell you, Paul,
these two men went through a war just six days ago at Backlash in the States.
Tremendous amount of punishment in that submission matchup.
How much are they gonna bring to the table here in Insurrextion?
[Heyman] I think they're both on their game tonight.
I think they're both ready for this fight with the exception that Angle
who has the tendency to go postal every now and then.
Angle is clearly upset.
Angle is at a disadvantage because Angle needs in his heart to know
where his medals are.
And those medals mean everything to Angle, and without them,
it's almost like Linus without the security blanket.
[Michael] Benoit waiting for Angle to get back into the ring
in this 2-out-of-3 falls matchup.
First superstar to win two falls, the victor.
And look at Benoit and Angle, nose to nose,
and referee Timmy White shoved out of the way.
And that distraction may have caused it.
[Heyman] Now, it's a slugfest and Benoit is the aggressor.
[Michael] Oh, look at Kurt roll over.
He may have him here, and Benoit kicks out,
-going for the Crossface. -[Heyman] Cross-face!
-[crowd cheering] -[Michael] Trying to lock it in,
shots to the back of the neck, Angle makes it to the ropes.
[Heyman] Again, phenomenal presence of mind by Kurt Angle,
my Olympic hero knows where he is at all times.
[Michael] And now, Benoit in pursuit of Kurt Angle outside the ring,
the Olympic hero back into the ring with the Rabid Wolverine in pursuit,
but Angle turns the tables.
[Heyman] Angle now stomping a hole in Benoit.
But the question is, does Angle want the victory
or is Angle too concerned about his medals?
[Michael] Well, maybe he thinks the only he's gonna get his medals,
if he picks up a victory over Benoit.
Right hands by the Olympic champion, Kurt Angle.
Benoit whipped to the corner and oh, reversal.
Nobody home as Angle delivers the elbow.
Benoit tenacious, back,
look at his head bounce off those turnbuckles, and they're not soft.
[Heyman] No doubt. And now, Angle,
Angle taking his time, letting Benoit think about it.
As Angle now moves in for the kill.
We are right now in the first fall of what could be a three-fall encounter.
[Michael] We'd like to welcome all our fans joining us live,
enjoying this Saturday afternoon in Midtown Manhattan, WWE New York,
enjoying Insurrextion.
[Heyman] Yo, big up to my hometown New York City.
-[crowd chanting] Benoit sucks! -[Michael] And what about Australia?
[Heyman] I don't care about Australia.
[Heyman] I'll say it again. Sunday morning, Sunday shmorning,
big up to my hometown, New York City.
[Michael] Snap suplex by Angle on Benoit,
rolls into the cover, and a kick-out after one.
[Heyman] Good day, mate, for all you fellows out there in Australia.
[Michael] They're watching Down Under 4:00 a.m. on main event,
thanks for staying up late with us or getting up early to see Insurrextion.
[Heyman] I heard Crocodile Dundee is watching it tonight.
[Michael] What?
[Heyman] After that lousy movie that he made.
[Michael] And Kurt Angle, trying to take control of Benoit,
and there is the belly-to-belly, a signature maneuver of Kurt Angle
-who begins the celebration. -[crowd booing]
[Heyman] And here we go now,
Angle slowly but surely taking apart Benoit.
Angle moving in on the man that stole his Olympic gold medals.
[Michael] These two men, Paul, are so similar,
as Kurt goes for the belly-to-belly again,
but is there any difference between these men?
Where does the difference lie?
[Heyman] The difference lies in the six pounds,
and right now, Angle is using that weight advantage to his advantage.
More power for Angle over Benoit.
[Michael] Reversal, Angle into the ropes.
And Benoit counters with a belly-to-belly of his own.
[Heyman] Benoit using Angle's momentum to Benoit's advantage,
taking Angle off the ropes, flinging him in the air.
But Benoit clearly now,
needs to capitalize on his advantage.
[Michael] Yeah, both men down, Benoit with the right hand,
and now a chop that echoed through Earls Court, and another one, and a third.
Can you imagine the impact?
Benoit, midsection, snap suplex by Benoit,
rolls into the cover,
front face lock now by Chris Benoit, snap suplex again.
[Heyman] What a tribute here in London, to Benoit's mentor and idol,
Tommy Billington, the Dynamite Kid.
[Michael] And Kurt Angle, hung up on the top rope,
Benoit using this as a time to catch his breath,
as Angle comes in the hard way.
Still no fall on this 2-out-of-3 fall matchup.
And can you imagine what that feels like, Paul?
[Heyman] No. I never want to imagine anything that painful
for the rest of my life.
Oh, man!
[Michael] German Suplex by Benoit. Angle, wrong place, wrong time.
[Heyman] He's going for two.
[Michael] Another German by Chris Benoit.
Angle trying to make it to his feet, and a third by the Rabid Wolverine.
Kurt Angle is worn out.
[Heyman] And Benoit, Benoit now realizes
he may have the first fall all locked up.
Chris Benoit, the Wolverine Machine, goes to the top rope.
[Michael] Angle in trouble, center of the ring.
Flying headbutt connected.
Benoit connected, hooks the leg…
-[crowd ] One, two, three. -[Michael] …he got him.
-[bell rings] -[Michael] Benoit up one fall to none.
Now, Paul, if you're Kurt Angle, psychologically,
how do you motivate yourself knowing you're already down one fall?
[Heyman] I'd forget about the medals right now.
I'd realize that I'm down one fall,
and Angle has to beat Benoit two straight falls which can be done.
Remember, Triple H once scored two straight falls
over "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, so it can be done.
Meanwhile, Benoit, top rope. Watch him. Oh, man.
-Right down. -[Michael] Right at Kurt Angle.
Kurt Angle was playing possum, Paul.
Referee thought Angle was hurt,
and Angle took advantage when Benoit turned his back.
[Heyman] So, now Angle needs to capitalize on this advantage.
He needs to score a victory.
He needs to score the second fall as quickly as possible.
[Michael] That's what I was going to ask you, how quickly does he need to score?
He's already down one.
I think just from a psychological momentum standpoint, he's got to do it early.
[Heyman] I think just from a physical standpoint, he needs to do it early.
I think he needs-- and I think he needs to do it with the ankle lock.
[Michael] Oh! Steel steps, Benoit off the slingshot by Kurt Angle.
[Heyman] Because, as we just saw, a pinfall you can recover from.
But if Angle can lock in that ankle lock,
and he holds it as long as he can without being disqualified,
he can do enough damage to Benoit,
that it will affect, and dramatically so, to the third fall.
[Michael] As Angle hammers away at Chris Benoit--
[Heyman] Hold on. "Good point, Paul." Oh, thank you, Michael.
-[Michael] Great point, Paul. -[Heyman] Thank you, Michael.
[Michael] Chris Benoit into the ring as Kurt Angle takes control,
Queen's Cup on the line next, Jericho-- Chris Jericho,
against Commissioner William Regal, and still to come tonight,
WWE title on the line, Undertaker, "handicap", against Austin and Triple H.
[crowd chanting] Benoit sucks!
[Heyman] Now, Angle starts to take apart Benoit.
Now, Angle starts moving in for the kill.
Kurt Angle, my Olympic hero, on the top rope.
[Michael] Belly-to-belly from the top rope by Kurt Angle,
and Benoit's head bounced off the mat, and this should be it.
Hook to the leg, he got him, two down-- Benoit somehow kicked out.
[Heyman] Benoit, not only kicks out, but again, as I pointed out earlier,
a champion's instinct, Benoit rolling off of his back,
staying away from a pinning predicament.
But it's not just the pin that's dangerous here.
Here it comes, slam! Takes him down!
[Michael] Hook of the leg again, there's two--
Benoit again gets his shoulder up.
How much more can the Rabid Wolverine take?
[Heyman] And how much does it cost Benoit to get his shoulder up, maybe--
just maybe, he could use the rest periods to regain his strength,
because right now, Angle is wearing Benoit down.
[Michael] Well, Benoit who is trying to catch his breath,
and then Kurt Angle with his chinlock here, Paul,
sucking the breath out of the lungs of Chris Benoit as we speak.
[Heyman] Notice the leverage that Angle employs.
Notice how he's putting all of his body weight on top of Benoit.
Notice the separation of the feet, everything that Angle does--
everything that Angle does is with reason, it's with rationale,
and it's with leverage. And leverage is the key to this match.
[Michael] Kurt Angle has been on the offensive
ever since the second fall started.
Benoit trying to gain momentum, there's another chop to the chest.
Reversal, Benoit at corner, here comes Angle, boot to the face.
And Benoit-- oh, walked right into the belly-to-belly.
And now, Chris Benoit is reeling.
Cover, hook of the leg, he got him-- again, the resilience of Benoit.
[Heyman] But what did that take out of Benoit.
At what price is he getting his shoulder up?
He desperately, desperately, desperately, right now, needs to catch his breath.
He needs to recoup.
[Michael] And fans who have missed-- oh, wait a minute.
Benoit turned the tables, and Angle just kicked out.
But fans need to understand, Paul,
every time there's a pinfall, every time there's a cover and you have to kick-out,
you expand a tremendous amount of energy.
I mean you're talking about kicking a 235-pound man off your chest.
[Heyman] No doubt. And Angle, again, the aggressor,
Angle on top of Benoit, Angle wants this second fall,
he needs the second fall in order to make it to round three.
[Michael] Oh, look out, small package, rolled him over.
He's got him, two. No, Angle kicked out. Benoit almost surprised Angle.
[Heyman] Almost surprised me too, that was close.
[Michael] That would have been extremely shocking,
and how frustrated is Kurt Angle becoming that he hasn't been able to take advantage
in this second fall.
[Heyman] His mind is on his medals, and he needs not to be.
He needs to take apart Benoit.
-He needs to go for this fall. -[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Benoit one fall to nothing in this 2-out-of-3 falls battle.
Rake to the eyes by Kurt Angle.
Angle missed his clothesline, Benoit kicked to the midsection.
DDT planted.
[Heyman] But Benoit can't capitalize,
the beating that he's taking at the hands of Angle has worn down Chris Benoit,
and the wolverine machine, the way I see it needs to capitalize,
and can't put Angle away.
-Four. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And this crowd starting to come to its feet
at sold out Earls Court.
Chris Benoit, up one fall, Benoit with the right hand to Kurt Angle.
Going for the Angle slam, countered by Benoit.
[Heyman] Wham!
[Michael] Chris Benoit just will not give in, Paul.
German!
[Heyman] He's going for two.
Benoit is going for two German suplexes.
[Michael] Ooh, again,
Chris Benoit delivering the German suplex to Kurt Angle.
[Heyman] And Angle's rocked.
Angle is clearly rocked.
Benoit hits three German suplexes and Benoit, Benoit is on his feet again!
[Michael] Is he gonna go for the flying headbutt to try to win this second fall?
[Heyman] Benoit is up, Benoit on the top rope.
[Michael] Angle moved out of the way!
And can Kurt Angle capitalize?
[Heyman] Same situation, one minute later,
Kurt Angle has taken such a beating that he can't capitalize.
The first man, in my opinion, to capitalize on this advantage
could possibly walk away
with the second fall of this match.
[Michael] Chris Benoit of one fall to nothing over Kurt Angle.
Kurt Angle shoves Benoit into the ropes, great drop toe-hold.
[Heyman] Ankle lock! Ankle lock!
[Michael] Angle with the ankle lock, countered by Benoit.
Counter!
-Crossface! -[Heyman] Crossface!
-[crowd cheering] -[Heyman] He locked it in.
Benoit with a Crossface!
[Michael] And Kurt Angle rolls out of it.
Benoit rolls over Angle, hooks the leg.
-Got it! -[Heyman] He got him!
-[bell ringing] -[Heyman] Two straight falls.
Chris Benoit sleeps Kurt Angle.
[Lilian] Here is the winner, Chris Benoit!
-["Whatever" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] The Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit,
with a clean sweep… of Kurt Angle.
And I think Chris Benoit proved here tonight at Insurrextion, Paul Heyman,
who the best technical wrestler is in the world today.
[Heyman] No. What he proved is he can play mind games with Kurt Angle.
Kurt Angle clearly distracted.
Kurt Angle dying to know where his Olympic gold medals are
could not concentrate on this match.
Chris Benoit has beaten Kurt Angle two straight falls.
[Michael] And Kurt Angle is crying, Paul Heyman.
Kurt Angle is in tears,
not only did he lose the 2-out-of-3 falls matchup
but Kurt Angle didn't get his gold medals back.
[Chris Benoit] Hey, Angle, Kurt Angle,
as I said before, I'm true to my word.
I told you your gold medals
are in a very safe warm place.
[crowd cheering]
-[Heyman] Oh, no. -[Michael] Oh, what!
[Heyman] No. No.
[Michael] Benoit had the gold medals down his pants.
[Kurt] Those are my medals.
[Michael] And the mind games, the psychological warfare continues.
-["Whatever" playing] -[Heyman] Benoit psyched out Angle.
Benoit took not only the gold medal.
Chris Benoit has stolen
two straight falls from Kurt Angle.
You've got to grind him down, you gotta work him.
He threw me through plate glass window,
-I ain't happy about it. -Don't worry.
He's gonna get his payback tonight for your eye,
two-on-one, he doesn't stand a chance.
-Damn right. -You got that right. Debra?
-What-- Debra? -[Debra] What?
I'm trying to go over this match with Triple H.
I'd appreciate it if you can give me some water.
Don't give me no coffee. We know what happens when you do that.
Please, get me some water. We're talking strategy here.
Hey, you know what, I'd like one too.
Make sure it's cold too.
-Oh, cold water for you. -Yeah.
Wait. Wait. And before you go, I would love some tea,
some chamomile tea.
-Okay. -With lemon and one lump of sugar.
Oh, just one lump of sugar?
But you know what, I am not y'all's errand girl
and I think you need to stop and think about the match tonight
because if you noticed,
The Undertaker did not back out of this "handicap" match,
so I think all three of you guys need to worry about that.
And not telling me to go do errands because I'm not an errand girl.
What's wrong with her?
She's all uptight.
Do you think Undertaker's got a chance against us?
-Nah. -We'll kill 'em.
While Debra throwing a snip, but still to come in on Stone Cold,
Triple H with the WWE title on the line against The Undertaker.
The Undertaker who had everything in hand-- had everything in hand
on SmackDown against Stone Cold and Triple H for the WWE title tonight.
But coming up next, The Queen's Cup is on the line.
Chris Jericho, Commissioner Regal,
the extension of what has been a fierce, fierce rivalry.
No doubt.
Welcome to the first official day of the Regal regime.
[Jericho] Good God, Regal.
Would you please shut the hell up?
[William] You listen to me, Sunshine.
I will not have a little toerag like you come out here and besmirch me.
[Ross] And now, Regal has made this match
Jericho versus entire Right to Censor.
This nothing more than punishment.
[Michael] It's a match setup by Commissioner Regal.
"Handicap" table match, Dudleys and Y2J.
-Here's a 3D! -[Ross] Oh!
[Michael] 3D!
[William] You cannot besmirch, soil the commissioner's tea.
Don't think for one moment, Chris Jericho, you are getting away lightly.
Oh, no, because you will face me, your commissioner William Regal,
in a Duchess of Queensbury Rules match.
I have no clue what the Duchess of Queensbury Rules are.
[Michael] No one seems to know at all, except William Regal, of course.
[Jericho] Well, nobody knows more about duchesses and queens than William Regal.
But, Regal, it's good that you know your history
because on Sunday at Backlash,
I'm gonna get medieval on your ass.
And, Paul, as we headed into Backlash,
we still had no idea what the Duchess of Queensbury Rules were.
I'm a big fan of the Duchess and your Ladyship.
It's an honor to be in your country.
[Michael] Well, it was Chris Jericho versus William Regal at Backlash.
There you see the Duchess of Queensbury
who would prove to have a very major role in this match.
[Heyman] Well, she's a beautiful lady and here you see the first time
Y2J broke the rules. Because as we learned,
there are no submissions in a Duchess of Queensbury Rules match.
[Michael] Oh, Chris Jericho in total control,
in fact, the embarrassment of William Regal.
[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] And then Y2J assaulting the Duchess.
One of the worst days in the history of sports entertainment
plus the commissioner,
the physical commissioner beats down on Y2J.
[Michael] That was an international incident because earlier on
in the matchup, the Duchess said disqualifications were thrown out.
It was a no disqualification matchup. Regal picked up the victory.
[Heyman] Regal picked up the victory but then on Raw, my, God.
Y2J wore the physical commissioner out with a metal garbage can.
Wham, wham, never letting up,
Y2J assaulting and besmirched the commissioner.
[crowd cheering]
["Promenade" playing]
[crowd cheering and jeering]
[Michael] Here it is, Paul Heyman, The Queen's Cup.
It will be on the line tonight when Regal takes on Chris Jericho.
And from what I understand, that is an extremely priceless trophy.
[Heyman] Look at that beautiful, beautiful treasure.
-["Promenade" continues playing] -[crowd cheering]
[bell rings]
[Lilian] The following is the first ever Queen's Cup match.
Introducing first, from Blackpool, England,
weighing in at 240 pounds,
United Kingdom's Goodwill Ambassador, Commissioner Regal.
[Michael] Well, not the reception Commissioner Regal was expecting
and Paul Heyman you told me earlier on,
you thought the commissioner was gonna get cheered out of the building.
[Heyman] Well, obviously I thought these commoners had class
and obviously I've been proven wrong.
So I stand corrected.
Those in the UK have no class.
[Michael] Well, these people in the UK have some class
because they understand that Commissioner Regal,
in the words of many, is extremely corrupt.
He's in the back pocket of Mr. McMahon-- -[Heyman] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Nobody is in the back pocket of Mr. McMahon.
He's a physical commissioner. There's the Queen's Cup.
He's a wonderful gentleman
and maybe these people wanna go to class and learn about some respect.
-[Michael] So William Regal-- -[Heyman] And look at the innocent--
I'm talking here. Look at the innocent smile on the face of Mr. Regal.
[Michael] Innocent smile?
It looks like a sneer because here comes his opponent.
[Heyman] A sneer is an innocent smile in my book.
[crowd cheering]
["Break the Walls Down" playing]
♪ You know I got ya, yeah ♪
♪ One, break the walls down ♪
[Lilian] From Winnipeg, Canada, weighing in at 227 pounds,
Chris Jericho!
[Heyman] You know what amazes me about Jericho?
-[Michael] What? -[Heyman] His international popularity.
Here he is in Regal's home country
yet everyone is on their feet for Y2J.
This guy is truly an international superstar.
[Michael] Chris Jericho, William Regal for the prestigious Queen's Cup
here tonight on Sky Box Office at Insurrextion.
And these fans at Earl's Court are still on their feet, Paul, for Chris Jericho.
[Heyman] No doubt.
Y2J picks up more popularity as every day goes by,
but once he steps into the ring and the bell rings,
he has to fight the physical commissioner William Regal
in Earl's Court, in Regal's home court.
[Michael] Chris Jericho is a lone wolf.
He's a vigilante battling against,
in his words, a corrupt commissioner here in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
♪ For those about to rock ♪
[Michael] William Regal staring at his opponent Chris Jericho
and as you saw earlier on,
a storied history ever since William Regal
made his debut in the World Wrestling Entertainment,
these two men had been at each other's throats.
[Heyman] And for nothing else you think these people would have the commonsense
to back the commissioner who's looking to avenge the besmirchment of the duchess.
[Michael] The Duchess of Queensbury match a week ago at Backlash
didn't go Chris Jericho's way,
thanks to Commissioner Regal's adjusting of the rules.
And Chris Jericho takes the early advantage in this matchup.
Regal, tremendous wrestler as well,
trying to pop out of that one, Jericho takes control.
Two various styles, contrasting styles in this match.
[Heyman] Oh, a big difference between these two styles,
but right now the European style being employed by Regal
and Jericho always the cheater with a closed right hand.
[Michael] Well, Commissioner Regal was brought up in Blackpool, England,
brought up fighting down in the docks of the shore.
He's a tough individual.
Chris Jericho on the other hand likes to be a high flyer,
likes to use his quickness in the ring.
William Regal likes to the work on the mat.
[Heyman] Well, he owns the mat.
I mean, William Regal is a master of the mat.
Jericho now, wide separation of the leg,
applying the pressure, going behind with a hammerlock.
[Michael] Still to come tonight "handicap" matchup, Undertaker,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Triple H, the WWE title on the line.
The one match that Linda McMahon did not change at Insurrextion tonight.
[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] Jericho to his feet.
Jericho on the top rope.
[Michael] A shot across the head of Regal and the commissioner's reeling.
Here is Jericho baseball slide,
Regal moves out of the way and Jericho with his quickness,
ducks under the right hand.
[Heyman] What I like about these chops and it doesn't just get the fans
at its feet to chant "Whoo."
What it does, is it takes the breath right out of you.
It hurts the sternum, it affects you for the rest of the fight.
[Michael] That will take the breath out of you as well,
ribcage onto that barricade.
And now Jericho is in control and another chop.
Who delivers a harder chop in the World Wrestling Entertainment,
Jericho or Benoit?
[Heyman] Linda McMahon because she busts her husband's chops
and now we have a whole different card tonight.
[Michael] Oh, look at Jericho, rolls into the cover, get the leg. No, kick-out.
[Heyman] I got to admit, Linda McMahon put together one hell of a card.
[Michael] She really did. It's been a tremendous Insurrextion.
In fact, fans, we're coming back to the UK in November.
Tickets go on sale Friday, May 11th, for Rebellion in Manchester.
Oh, look at this. Step over the top, Regal trying to roll him over, Jericho.
Look at this.
Chris Jericho putting on a display early on.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Jericho trying to get Regal into the Walls of Jericho,
Regal countered.
Whether you like Regal as commissioner or not, he is a tremendous wrestler.
[Heyman] Oh, no doubt.
And now the physical commissioner has Y2J exactly where he wants him.
[Michael] Y2J Chris Jericho into that steel post
and Commissioner Regal slowly taking advantage
and Regal is the type of superstar who will wear you down
in the center of the ring.
[Heyman] Oh, no doubt, Regal wants you down in the middle of the ring
because you can't reach the rope if he applies the Regal-Plex.
[Michael] And remember this is all for the prestigious Queen's Cup.
That's what they're battling for here in London and there it is.
[Heyman] Can take that thing down to the Bronx in New York City,
melt it down and sell it for about a million dollars.
[Michael] Only you would think about that.
[Heyman] No. I'm money-oriented. Ask anybody, they'll tell you.
[Michael] Paul, let me ask you a question, seriously.
[Heyman] What else would you ask me?
[Michael] Commissioner Regal, assess his job as commissioner thus far
-in the World Wrestling Entertainment. -[Heyman] I think Commissioner Regal
is the finest commissioner the World Wrestling Entertainment has ever seen.
Look at the bruise on Regal's leg.
Look at the bruise on his thigh.
You talk about a charley horse.
I'm impressed that the man is still standing.
And I don't think there's ever been a commissioner
that can back it up like William Regal.
[Michael] Well, of course he can back it up.
He's got Mr. McMahon in his corner. He's got Triple H in his corner.
He's got "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in his corner.
He's got Stephanie in his corner.
Do I have to go on and on and on?
[Heyman] Yes, you have you have to go on and on and on,
but the fact of the matter is, he's out there by himself tonight
and the commissioner is against Y2J!
[Michael] Oh, Jericho with a headscissors and Jericho into the cover.
He could win the Queen's Cup, and a kick-out by Regal.
[Heyman] I'm impressed that Regal kicked out.
Jericho drove Regal's head right into the canvas, right into the mat.
Yet Regal with the presence of mind, to get the shoulder up before three.
[Michael] Jericho misses right hand. Here's Regal.
Jericho went for the dropkick and Regal with a counter
and now the slingshot and Jericho is in trouble.
And Regal-- oh, man.
Jericho right on his head.
[crowd cheering and jeering]
-[Michael] And now the wave from Regal-- -[Heyman] Good evening, sir, how are you?
[Michael] To his fellow countrymen greeted with a boo.
[Heyman] They're not saying boo, they're saying "Regal, Regal, Regal."
[Michael] Let's take another look again and watch Jericho,
watch the impact right on the top of his head.
[Heyman] Jericho trying to protect himself but there was no way.
There's too much momentum going down.
Regal now even with a bruised thigh
driving both of those knees into the head of Chris Jericho.
[Michael] But shouldn't your good commissioner be worried about the attack
on Jericho instead of waving to this crowd here in Earl's Court?
[Heyman] You're the type of guy that would go down to the stadium
and tell the ball players how to swing at the ball.
This is his home court.
The commissioner knows exactly what he's doing.
[Michael] Well, perhaps he's just trying to win these fans over here in London.
[Heyman] I don't think he truly cares about 'em.
[Michael] The chinlock now being applied to Chris Jericho
and Jericho is in trouble. He's trying to build momentum
but that shot to the head took a lot out of him.
[Heyman] No doubt and Regal is truly capitalizing on the momentum right now,
wearing Y2J down
and Jericho is in a bad, bad way here.
[Michael] We talked about that "handicap" match coming up next, Paul.
Earlier on, we saw Triple H and Stephanie extremely confident,
but did Stone Cold and Triple H look a little less confident
just a few moments ago?
[Heyman] No, sir. No, sir.
[Michael] Well, Linda McMahon said The Undertaker wants this "handicap" match.
[Heyman] Aah.
Linda McMahon married Mr. McMahon and from there,
it's been all downhill for Linda McMahon.
And now, she's trying to use the billion dollar corporation as leverage.
[Michael] Wait, wait, are you disparaging Mr. McMahon?
[Heyman] No, I'm disparaging Linda McMahon went all downhill
[Michael] You said it was downhill for Mr. McMahon.
-[Heyman] For Mr. McMahon, you're right. -[Michael] Oh, wait a minute.
Cover by Regal, there's one, there's two and a kick-out.
[Heyman] Don't knock the boss.
[Michael] I'm not knocking Mr. McMahon at all.
[Heyman] Good. Then you'll agree with me.
[Michael] He's just had some problems as of late with his wife.
Regal misses. Look out. Elbow to the face by William Regal.
The Queen's Cup is on the line.
[Heyman] Look at the grace. Look at the grace that this man displays.
How many times do we need to point this out to you, Michael,
the man has a charley horse.
The man has a deep, deep bruise on his left thigh
yet he's walking around with the grace of a prize-winning pony.
This physical commissioner impresses me more than any commissioner in the history
of the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Michael] Well, Paul, I'll tell you what, with his style,
it certainly is regal for William Regal.
And right now he's taken to Chris Jericho dissecting Y2J.
[Heyman] And now the physical commissioner,
standing over Y2J, throws him back into the ring.
[Michael] And Regal back into the ring.
Queen's Cup on the line and Regal continues the punishment
and after all these two superstars have been through,
Regal's got to be enjoying this.
[Heyman] And look at commissioner throwing Y2J right into the ring post.
And give the commissioner credit.
He doesn't need to be out there risking life and limb.
He doesn't need to be out there fighting through the pain of a deep thigh bruise.
He's a commissioner that wants to compete.
He's a commissioner that loves the physical action
more so than any other commissioner
in the history of the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Michael] Paul, I hate to burst your bubble.
-[Heyman] You ain't gonna burst my bubble. -[Michael] Linda McMahon made this match.
Jericho off the ropes, look at-- up over the top, Chris Jericho.
-[Heyman] But Regal accepted it. -[Michael] He had no choice.
Regal in trouble.
Jericho's got him cover, two, and a kick-out by Regal.
And Regal with a clothesline, quickly back on top of Jericho.
[Heyman] But in the meantime, he's backing it up, isn't he?
[Michael] Here's the cover, there's one,
there's two, he couldn't get him, Jericho kicks out.
[Heyman] It's not like he just went out there and started pleading for his life,
the man's fighting, the man's fighting.
And again, applying a hold
again in the middle of the ring wearing Jericho down,
depriving Jericho of oxygen.
Regal on top of Jericho,
another great look at that deep thigh bruise,
another great look at a great commissioner, William Regal.
[Michael] So not only does this deprive Jericho of oxygen
but it allows William Regal to catch his breath so to speak to get
a little bit of a rest in the matchup while applying the pressure.
[Heyman] You could look at it in that perspective, yes.
[Michael] And William Regal the commissioner
in control of Y2J Chris Jericho.
Jericho's arm weakly down.
If it falls to the mat three times, Regal will win the Queen's Cup.
[Heyman] We're down two, we're down two.
[Michael] I think Jericho is out cold.
Wait a minute.
Jericho keeps the arm up trying to feed off this capacity crowd.
Jericho to his feet, trying desperately to get up,
to take that pressure off from the commissioner.
A shot to the ribs
and Jericho back body drop.
[Heyman] And Regal is rocked. Regal in a bad way now.
[Michael] He may have him here and a kick-out.
[Heyman] Can you imagine the embarrassment
if Jericho wins the Queen's Cup?
[Michael] It's a great point. I didn't even think about it,
but right now Regal is well on his way to winning.
Jericho locked in the ropes and Regal with the left hands to Y2J.
Come on, man. Get off the man and get him out of the ropes.
You got the man tied up in the ropes. Come on.
[Michael] How much more can Chris Jericho take?
He tries to battle back, but with his arms locked in the ropes,
he really, really has no chance.
[Heyman] And those powerful left hands by the physical commissioner William Regal
sets the tone for this match for the all-important Queen's Cup
tonight in Earl's Court.
[Michael] Suplex by Regal.
Jericho in trouble. Here's the cover.
There's one, there's two, can he get it?
No, Jericho with a shoulder up.
And you got to love how Regal puts his forearm
right in the opponents head on the cover.
[Heyman] I do love it. Tremendous leverage
and now a version of the abdominal stretch.
Regal, another textbook maneuver,
another textbook move by Regal.
[Michael] Did you see the way that William Regal was looking with pride
at that silver Queen's Cup that the winner of this matchup will get?
[Heyman] Yes, I did.
Next question.
[Michael] Regal continuing the pressure yet again.
Jericho has been able to build very little offense in this match.
[Heyman] Because Regal has been on top of him,
because Regal backs up everything that he says,
because he's a physical commissioner,
because whether Linda McMahon made the match or not,
Regal is willing to fight.
And not even you can take that away from him.
[Michael] Not at all. He's out there. I'll give him credit for that.
He's giving Jericho a run for his money
and Regal is in position to win the Queen's Cup.
What a forearm. Jericho though blocks, there's the right hand and another.
Can Jericho battle back?
Y2J Chris Jericho trying to get back into this,
Regal into the corner. Knee to the face.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Jericho enzuigiri, back of the head.
[Heyman] But can Jericho-- can Jericho capitalize?
-Can Jericho follow up? -[referee counting]
[Michael] How much more does Y2J have left?
Regal seeing stars after the enzuigiri
and the referee starts to count with both men down.
[Heyman] We're up to four.
-Five. -[Heyman] Five. Teddy Long says five.
I didn't know he can count that high.
[Michael] Regal slowly stirring, so is Jericho.
[Heyman] Seven.
[Michael] Regal to his feet. Jericho up as well.
Y2J with a right hand.
And another by Jericho.
[Heyman] Oh, what a chop.
[Michael] Jericho's starting to change momentum.
[Heyman] But Regal reverses.
Nice kick by Jericho.
[Michael] Jericho with a clothesline.
And now Y2J starting to build adrenaline,
starting to feel it with a missile dropkick,
the cover, could have him, Queen's Cup on the line and a kick-out.
[Heyman] Regal getting off his back now getting to his feet, Y2J the aggressor.
the Queen's Cup on the line.
[Michael] Jericho with a flying forearm.
Regal's down. Jericho wants the commissioner back on his feet.
Went for the Bulldog. Regal had it scouted.
Going for the Regal close…
and Jericho, Bulldog.
-Here it comes, Paul. -[Heyman] Lionsault.
[Michael] The Lionsault but Regal countered.
[Heyman] The knees were up.
Regal had the knees up and now the commissioner follows through
with an advantage that Jericho may never live through.
[Michael] Here's the cover. It should be over.
There's two. Jericho got the shoulder up.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] What a matchup for the Queen's Cup at Insurrextion.
[Heyman] But Regal is the aggressor, Regal on top.
The physical commissioner William Regal all over Y2J.
[Michael] Regal behind Jericho, Jericho counters, Regal rolled up.
He's going for it. He's going for the walls.
Can he lock in the Walls of Jericho?
Jericho's got it locked in. Regal tapping. Regal taps out.
-[bell ringing] -[Michael] Jericho wins the Queen's Cup.
["Break the Walls Down" playing]
[Lilian] Here is your winner, Chris Jericho.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And referee Teddy Long with a trophy for Chris Jericho
who's come to William Regal's homeland and won the Queen's Cup.
-[Michael] A shocker. -[Heyman] No doubt.
Y2J wins the Queen's Cup in the UK.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Jericho in celebration and-- wait a minute,
Regal the sore loser from behind.
And now what's Regal doing?
He's using the Queen's Cup as a weapon.
He's destroying the cup that Chris Jericho worked hard for.
[Heyman] The commissioner is assaulting Y2J with the Queen's Cup.
[crowd booing]
[Michael] William Regal beating the hell out of Jericho.
[Heyman] Hello, commissioner, you did a fine job, sir.
[Michael] Fine job? He lost the match in his home country.
[Heyman] Like I said, he did a fine job.
["Promenade" playing]
[Michael] Chris Jericho wins the Queen's Cup.
[Heyman] But the commissioner beats the crap out of Jericho
with the Queen's Cup itself.
[Michael] And Jericho's not going home with the Queen's Cup intact.
Regal destroyed it here at Insurrextion.
Well, coming up next the "handicap" match,
Undertaker versus Stone Cold and Triple H for the WWE title.
The Undertaker is all alone and this is a battle for his career.
[Triple H] What you see is the two most dominant men
in the World Wrestling Entertainment today, in the past, in the future.
[Michael] Can you believe McMahon's Alliance
has the Intercontinental title and the WWE title?
-[Triple H] We will do what we want. -[Ross] This is damn sure sick.
[Triple H] And believe me, no one can stop us.
[Stone Cold] Why don't we see who the most dominant team is?
Now, ain't a single man that could stop "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Triple H.
[Undertaker] We're gonna take Triple H and Austin
and we're gonna show them what it's like to be a badass.
[Ross] This will be a slobber knocker main event.
Who is the most dominant team in the WWE?
Will it be those two, the Bothers of Destruction,
the Tag Team Champions
or will it be The Bionic Redneck and The Game?
Stephanie just gave her husband one of the title belts.
But Triple H has got a weapon and he got knocked back in his face.
My God, after all this, are you gonna tell me
that Kane is gonna beat The Game for the Intercontinental title here?
-[Heyman] Oh, my. -[Ross] For the love of God.
Kane kicked Stephanie right in the face.
And there's Mr. McMahon. Wait a minute.
Oh, at the elbow, the sledgehammer.
The Game's got the sledgehammer and right to the head.
Oh, my God, the sledgehammer hit Kane in the head.
No, no, God. No, damn it. No.
[Heyman] The new Tag Team Champions.
[Ross] The two men tonight here have all the gold,
but by God if The Undertaker's got a breath in his body,
there's gonna be some serious hell to pay
[Undertaker] I'm concerned with some payback.
[Ross] Kane being assaulted again by Austin and Triple H.
[Undertaker] My bother Kane and I, we got beat down.
[Ross] This is sick. My God almighty, stop it, stop it.
[Heyman] Stone Cold is breaking that arm in so many different places.
[Ross] My God, enough is enough.
[Heyman] The Brothers of Destruction have been destroyed.
[Undertaker] Now, I warned those boys--
if you screw with me or my family, I'm gonna hurt you.
[Michael] Undertaker, Undertaker with a chain,
Undertaker attacking Austin.
Undertaker's got Austin. Came out of nowhere, Paul.
[Undertaker] They didn't listen. Let's let the pain and suffering begin.
Tonight, I'm gonna make them boys famous.
[echoes] Famous, famous.

What has happened to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin?
You see the injury, the cuts above his left eye
after a vicious assault by The Undertaker on SmackDown,
but, Paul Heyman, what has happened to Stone Cold?
[Heyman] Stone Cold sold his soul for the WWE Championship.
And to be honest with you, if there's one thing in life
that's worthy of selling your soul for, it's that title.
It means more money, more pride, more prestige
than anything else in this sport today.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the corrupted Rattlesnake,
did in my opinion the smartest thing he could.
He bought an insurance policy.
He made sure he left Houston, Texas the WWE Champion.
[Michael] And WrestleMania, but, Paul,
why didn't "Stone Cold" Steve Austin have a conscience?
Why didn't he do it on his own?
The Texas Rattlesnake, one of the biggest stars
in the history of the sport, could have done it on his own,
but he signed the dotted line with his archrival, Mr. McMahon.
[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] Who better than the owner of the company to back you up
if you wanna make sure that you leave WrestleMania the WWE Champion?
Like I said, if there's one thing in life that is worth to sell your soul for,
it's that title.

[Lilian] And making his way to the ring weighing at 328 pounds,
The Undertaker.
[Michael] Deadman Inc. is open for business.
For The Undertaker, it's not just about the title, Paul Heyman,
it's about survival and revenge for his brother, Kane.
[Heyman] But right now The Undertaker, as big and as bad and as tough as he is,
has to fight not just "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
he has to fight "The Game" Triple H himself
and big daddy Deadman fights an uphill battle tonight.
Look what's waiting for him, Stone Cold and The Game,
the two top dogs in sports entertainment tonight.
[Michael] The Two-Man Power Trip.
Stone Cold must be pinned or submit to The Undertaker to lose his title.
It's a "handicap" match.
The odds are stacked high, but if anyone can do it,
it's Deadman Inc. with an equalizer.
[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] Well, you can't win the title that way.
There is no way to win the title that way.
It's by pinfall or submission only.
[Michael] Stone Cold and Triple H failing to get into the ring
to start this matchup against The Undertaker.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] And who can blame them, Taker's got a steel chair.
[Heyman] The Undertaker needs a lot more than that
but what he needs to do is keep his composure
because he's gonna get attacked from all sides
by both The Game and The Rattlesnake.
And the WWE title is on the line.
[Michael] Well, keep in mind what Austin and Triple H did
to Undertaker's brother Kane, Paul,
a shattered left arm, a vicious assault at Raw just last week.
[Heyman] That's what happens when you fight Austin and Triple H by yourself,
that's an uphill battle that The Undertaker faces tonight.
But as I said, if there's one man on the face of the planet that
-could survive an attack by The Game-- -[bell ringing]
-[Michael] And Triple H from behind. -[Heyman] Oh, and here we go.
[Michael] And there's the distraction of Austin
and now Triple H and Austin into the ring,
WWE title on the line and the double team begins.
[Heyman] What an uphill battle for The Undertaker.
If there's one guy that can survive Austin and Triple H,
it's The Undertaker.
But do you really think he can survive these two men?
[Michael] Well, Deadman Inc. not starting off too well
as Austin hammers away at The Undertaker
and the audacity, the ego of Austin, knee braces
with Rattlesnake markings on it.
He is on a serious power trip.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Double team by Austin, Triple H. Here comes Undertaker.
[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] Wham, double clothesline by the six-foot-ten-inch Undertaker.
And now, The Undertaker taking advantage of the situation.
He needs to knock someone out of the ring.
He needs to single out Austin and go for the title.
[Michael] Sidewalk slam to Austin, chop to Triple H.
There goes The Game right on cue, Paul.
And now Austin's in trouble.
And Triple H from behind and that's where this "handicap" match
is gonna hurt The Undertaker.
As soon as he focuses on one man, he's got to be worried about the other.
[Heyman] But those are the odds that he accepted in this fight.
The Undertaker has accepted the odds
and that's how badly The Undertaker not only wants revenge
for his brother Kane,
but wants to become the WWE Champion once again.
[Michael] Undertaker and Triple H battling up the ramp here at Insurrextion.
It has been a wild night at Earl's Court in London
with the World Wrestling Entertainment title on the line.
[Heyman] The Undertaker needs to get this match back into the ring.
The Undertaker cannot win this match halfway up the aisle
and his back is turned too which is a mistake.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Undertaker does not want a count-out,
but Referee Earl Hebner is out there
allowing these three superstars to bend the rules just a bit.
[crowd chatter]
[Heyman] Stone Cold and The Undertaker battling up the ramp,
advantage Austin, he can't lose the title on the ramp.
[Michael] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
the changed man, the vicious assault continuing,
trying to-- oh, look out. Undertaker with a back body drop
and Austin's body thundering off that steel.
And look at the concern on the face of Stephanie.
[Heyman] The Billion Dollar Princess does not like what she's seeing,
The Undertaker holding his own against The Game and The Rattlesnake.
[Michael] You heard what The Undertaker said
on SmackDown, Paul. "You mess with my family, you get hurt."
The Two-Man Power Trip messed with his family
and they've been getting hurt the past few days.
[Heyman] Yeah. But it's one thing to get hurt by Kane,
it's another thing to lose the WWE title,
and that would be Austin's worst nightmare.
Can you imagine Austin sold his soul for the title?
Can you imagine what happens if he loses it?
It was all for naught.
[Michael] Great point. Undertaker with the elbow to Triple H
-and look out. -[Heyman] Hey, what are you doing?
-[Michael] Right here in front of us. -[Heyman] Hey, I'm sitting here.
[Michael] Undertaker destroying the announce table.
-Triple H is in La-La Land. -[Heyman] That's my monitor.
[Michael] And Undertaker destroying the announce table.
[Heyman] Hey, Michael, do something about this.
[Michael] What do you want me to do?
-[Heyman] Stop him. -[Michael] Yeah, right.
"The Game" Triple H trying to battle back
now with a kick to the midsection and another one,
and Triple H tossing The Undertaker back into the ring
as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin slowly, slowly limps back to ringside.
[Heyman] Would somebody mind only teaming me up on this broadcast
with an announcer that would back me up?
I mean, the man-- the man took my monitor.
[Michael] And Triple H, now The Game
and there's the back body drop by The Undertaker.
And Undertaker building momentum,
but if he wants to win the title, he has to pin Austin, not Triple H.
[Heyman] Old School, Old School,
and as long as he stays away from this table,
I don't care what the hell he does.
[Michael] Vintage Undertaker, a shot to Triple H,
no one does it better, cover, one--
And Triple H kicks out before a count of two,
a near fall by The Undertaker.
[crowd chatter]
[Heyman] You got to be impressed with The Undertaker,
he's dominated this fight so far tonight.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] What a right-hand, Undertaker six-foot-eleven,
330 pounds, Deadman Inc.
Triple H reversal, what a shot.
Undertaker ducked underneath it,
Triple H in trouble, planted with a DDT.
[Heyman] Triple H down, needs to make a tag, needs to tag in Stone Cold
as "The Billion Dollar Princess" Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley
watches her husband Triple H, The Game battle big daddy Deadman.
[Michael] Undertaker into the cover, there is one, there is two,
Austin breaks up the three-count.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] A little surprising there, Paul,
if Undertaker had taken the fall on Triple H,
Austin wouldn't have lost his title.
But Stone Cold showing it now, he is a team player,
that he's bought into this Two-Man Power Trip syndrome
Mr. McMahon's got in mind.
[Heyman] Oh, you don't really buy that, do you?
He's just a great competitor.
He's still The Rattlesnake, he's still "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
and now he's in the ring and still on top of The Undertaker.
[Michael] Well, I also buy the fact that Austin realizes
in order to keep his title here in London tonight,
he needs Triple H, he needs Triple H on his side.
[Heyman] No doubt. I'm not disputing that,
but now Stone Cold,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin the top dog in the game,
the WWE Champion, wearing out The Undertaker in the corner.
[Michael] Austin's WWE title on the line,
missed with the right hand, Undertaker taken down,
Lou Thesz Press and the right hands by Austin.
[Heyman] Lou Thesz Press and Muhammad Ali rights.
And an elbow right into the chin of The Undertaker.
[Michael] Stone Cold delivering the elbows to The Undertaker
with the WWE title on the line.
[Heyman] And The Undertaker has Austin by the throat.
[Michael] Triple H into ring takes the boot,
Austin misses, Undertaker,
Austin going for a right to Triple H.
The numbers game too much for The Undertaker.
[Heyman] How frustrated do you think The Undertaker is tonight
with Triple H nailing him left and right
every time that Taker gets Austin in trouble?
[Michael] Well, The Undertaker wanted this match,
he wanted the "handicap" match,
he wanted to be in there with these two men.
[Earl] Two.
[Michael] I don't know what he was thinking about,
but where's Stephanie going?
[crowd chatter]
[Heyman] She's providing the distraction and this is bad for The Undertaker.
-[Michael] There's Austin. -[Heyman] Because Stone Cold has a weapon.
[Michael] Steve Austin with a steel chair, referee distracted by Stephanie,
steel chair to the head of The Undertaker.
Triple H is going for the cover
and damn it, the Two-Man Power Trip is gonna steal one.
-[Heyman] One, two. -[Michael] There's two, he got it.
-Undertaker kicked out. -Two.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] This isn't a damn two-on-one match.
With Stephanie out here, it's three-on-one.
[Heyman] Damn right and the odds are in the favor of the WWE Champion,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin and "The Game" Triple H.
[Michael] And now The Rattlesnake wants to take control.
Austin knocking The Undertaker out of the ring.
Here comes Triple H and Triple H--
Undertaker head first into that steel post at ringside.
[woman] Come on, Taker.
[Heyman] I just can't imagine how frustrated The Undertaker has to be
with Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
I can't imagine, I can't imagine how badly he wants
to get his hands on Triple H.
[Michael] Undertaker is frustrated with Triple H,
how elated has Austin got to be with The Game.
[Heyman] Oh, The Game has been the difference in this match, no doubt.
The Game has helped Stone Cold to an absurd degree.
[Michael] How much does The Undertaker have left?
Driven for the title, driven for revenge on his brother Kane
but being picked apart by the two most dangerous men
in the World Wrestling Entertainment today.
Cover, hook of the leg, two-- Taker somehow gets the shoulder up.
Cover again, two, Taker again kicks out.
Cover again, one, two, Taker again kicks out.
[Heyman] The competitor that is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
the drive that has made him the WWE Champion.
And now The Game, the difference in this match,
Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Triple H,
the man that married The Billion Dollar Princess,
the man that is now part of the McMahon family
and Mr. McMahon's only true son, Triple H
wearing out The Undertaker in the corner.
[Michael] Paul, whether you agree with Triple H's tactics or not
he is The Cerebral Assassin.
He knows how to pick apart an opponent
and he's running interference and taking care of The Undertaker,
but here comes Taker.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Crowd starting to come alive, Undertaker reverse,
and Triple H goes for the sleeper hold.
[Heyman] And The Undertaker goes down to one knee already.
He has been worn out. The Undertaker has been worn down,
worn out by Austin and Triple H.
Notice the wide separation of the feet,
notice the leverage being employed, notice the positioning,
Triple H using all of his body weight to his advantage on The Undertaker.
And The Billion Dollar Princess loves every single moment of it.
[Michael] And The Cerebral Assassin has taken the height advantage,
the weight advantage away from The Undertaker,
getting him down to the mat with a sleeper hold
and Paul, The Undertaker's eyes are beginning to roll up in his head.
[Heyman] And not the way they used to ten years ago.
This ain't good for The Undertaker.
This is great for Triple H
and even better for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Michael] And as Triple H wears The Undertaker down,
Stone Cold is getting rested. He could be close to 100%.
Triple H using the ropes, blatantly using the ropes for leverage.
[Heyman] You take what you got,
you deal with the cards that are dealt to you
and Triple H using the ropes to his advantage.
You should know that.
You don't expect him to deprive himself of the opportunity
of using the ropes for leverage, do you?
[Michael] Well, why should I? He married Stephanie,
he's working with Mr. McMahon,
he's teaming with Austin. Why should I expect anything different?
[Heyman] Right, why should you? That was my question.
Perhaps you can answer me.
[crowd chanting]
[Michael] Look at this crowd…
[Heyman] Perhaps you could answer me.
[clears throat] Perhaps you could answer me.
[Michael] He's trying to save the title for his buddy Stone Cold.
[Heyman] And he's not only trying to save the title,
looks to me like Triple H is about to score a victory
over The Undertaker.
[Michael] And how huge would that be for The Game, the arm goes down, it's over
and The Undertaker keeps it up and a handful of hair.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] The Undertaker battling back,
Deadman Inc. has risen from the dead.
And Triple H has shot to the midsection again…
misses with the right hand, Undertaker.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] But what does Taker do now? He has no partner to tag in.
-He has nobody to rest in. -[Heyman] No way. He's all on his own.
The Undertaker rode into town like John Wayne
and he's gonna get taken out like Lennox Lewis
and in comes the badass himself,
the WWE Champion, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Michael] The extremely fresh WWE Champion,
Austin out of the ring in extraordinary amount of time
and Undertaker reverses, the sleeper on Austin,
he's got it locked in, but Austin counters, suplex.
[Heyman] Stone Cold too well rested,
well too well rested. The Rattlesnake in control.
One, two.
[Michael] Austin second rope and Undertaker shot to the midsection.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] And now the champion, Austin whipped into the ropes,
shot to the face by Austin
and here is the tag to Triple H.
[Heyman] The Game, The Game has made the difference in this match.
How badly must The Undertaker hate The Game?
I think The Game has truly been the difference maker,
has been the man that has distracted The Undertaker,
and kept him at bay away from title.
I can't imagine the hatred in The Undertaker's heart for Triple H.
[Michael] Well, if there was an MVP of this matchup given out right now,
it would go to The Game.
[Heyman] No doubt, he's been the difference.
In order to win the title,
then Taker would have to take out The Game.
[Michael] Oh, boot to the face by Undertaker,
a desperation maneuver for Undertaker, the challenger.
[Heyman] But he's not taken out The Game yet,
he's only delayed him a few moments
and there's no one for The Undertaker to tag.
Austin meanwhile is just inches away
and here comes the WWE Champion.
[Michael] And here comes The Undertaker, elbow to Austin,
right-hand to Austin, and another one. And The Undertaker,
the Two-Man Power Trip butting heads in the corner.
And Undertaker is beginning to stir, he's beginning to roll.
The WWE title on the line.
Austin must be pinned for Taker to win the title.
[Heyman] Oh, no, he's coming out by us again.
[Michael] Oh, look out Undertaker out in front of us,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin into that steel barricade.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Taker right hand to Stone Cold.
Taker wisely continues to look over his shoulder
to make sure Triple H isn't on the double team attack.
[Heyman] Like I said, The Game has made the difference in this entire match.
-[Michael] And Undertaker saw Triple H coming, Chokeslam,
-Chokeslam, Chokeslam. -[Heyman] Oh, my God,
through the table, through the table.
I don't believe it.
The Undertaker has taken out Triple H.
[Michael] Triple H chokeslammed through a table
but Austin's taken advantage, off the distraction.
Boot to the midsection, went for the sternum,
missed, boot to the face,
-boot to the face. -[Heyman] The Game is down,
The Game is down and Austin is all alone
against the merciless Undertaker.
[Michael] And a low blow, referee distracted by Stephanie,
and a low blow to The Undertaker.
And now the assault begins for The Rattlesnake.
[Heyman] The Game has made a difference in this match.
The Game has been the saving grace for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
and now Austin is all by himself alone
without the help of Triple H.
[Michael] Well, right about now, Austin is in trouble.
Chokeslam, Chokeslam! We can have a new champion.
[Heyman] The title's in jeopardy, the title is in deep, deep jeopardy.
[Michael] The champion's down after the Chokeslam.
-Triple H is down. -Come on, cover him.
[Michael] Undertaker bleeding from the ear
into the cover, there's two--
And Triple H, Triple H saves the title.
[crowd booing]
[Michael] Again, The Game saved Stone Cold's title.
[Heyman] And meanwhile, The Undertaker is busted open badly.
And The Game, he's going for the Pedigree.
The Game goes for the Pedigree.
[Michael] And Undertaker countered,
Undertaker countered, slingshot at Austin.
The Undertaker bleeding profusely,
but somehow has something left.
[Stephanie] Come on, Hunter.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Triple H off the ropes and a face buster.
Undertaker is still on his feet, Triple H clothesline.
[Heyman] Triple H applying the pressure to The Undertaker
and how much equilibrium can The Undertaker keep?
-[crowd booing] -[Michael] Oh, wait a minute.
-Mr. McMahon… -[Heyman] Here comes the boss.
[Michael] What the hell is he doing out here?
What on earth could Mr. McMahon need to be at ringside for?
[Heyman] I think he's here to inspect The Undertaker's cut.
I truly believe that in my heart.
-[Michael] Will you stop? -[Heyman] Okay, I'll stop.
[Michael] McMahon with a chair,
steel chair in the ring, referee distracted.
Mr. McMahon clocked his son-in-law. He hit his son-in-law Triple H.
[crowd cheering]
[Heyman] Chokeslam.
[Michael] The boss chokeslammed by Deadman Inc.
-[Heyman] Chokeslam. -[Michael] Triple H.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] The elevation, Chokeslam by The Undertaker, the cover--
-[crowd] …two, three. -[bell ringing]
[Michael] Undertaker wins the "handicap" match.

-Oh, no, oh, no. -[Michael] Chair to Austin…
chair to Triple H,
chair to McMahon. But Paul, you're right,
perhaps the most important victory of the year.
[Heyman] The Undertaker has defeated Triple H and Stone Cold
in a "handicap" match.
He stays the number one contender.
The Undertaker has laid out Stone Cold,
has laid out Triple H, and has laid out Mr. McMahon.
[Michael] He didn't win the title
but perhaps he got some semblance of revenge, Paul,
for his brother Kane who had his arm shattered
by Austin and Triple H just a few days ago.
[Heyman] The Undertaker leaves the UK

The Undertaker leaves Insurrextion the victor
