[narrator] An ongoing battle rages.
[Ric] There's gonna be hell to pay.
[narrator] A conflict of power where the strong will survive
and the weak will fall to the hands of mercy.
[Undertaker] It sounds like somebody is trying to disrespect me.
[Triple H] You are an obstacle.
[Undertaker] It sounds like somebody's trying to show me up.
[Triple H] And I will run you down.
[narrator] A group of men governed by one
yet controlled by no one has embarked on your land.
I own the company, damn it!
[narrator] Not to settle their battle, but to let it rage on.
[Triple H] You ain't seen nothing yet.
[Stone Cold] And that's all I've got to say about that.
[narrator] The superstars of the World Wrestling Entertainment
have brought the fight across the Atlantic
to the shores of England.
Prepare as the Insurrextion begins.
["Burning Tree" playing]
[narrator] And now, WWE Insurrextion.
[fireworks exploding]
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] The city of London is on fire.
The World Wrestling Entertainment is in town.
This is World Wrestling Entertainment Insurrextion,
live on Sky Box Office from the sold-out Wembley Arena.
I'm Jim Ross alongside Jerry "the King" Lawler.
And, King, all the tickets to this event
sold out in 21 minutes last November.
I can't wait, J.R.!
The crowd, I mean, it's electric.
This is gonna be a massive event.
Absolutely brilliant.
Two huge main events tonight.
Three championships decided,
starting off with this huge match up.
["Latino Heat" playing]
[Howard] The following contest scheduled for one fall
is for the World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Championship.
Introducing first, from El Paso, Texas,
weighing 228 pounds,
the World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Champion,
Eddie Guerrero.
[Ross] Eddie Guerrero set to defend his Intercontinental title tonight.
And Stone Cold goes one-on-one with the Big Show.
And Triple H takes on The Undertaker…
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Ross] …right here tonight.
But Eddie Guerrero knows he is in for a huge challenge,
because he's gonna face Rob Van Dam
and this rivalry of the Intercontinental title started at Backlash.
[Eddie] At Backlash, I'm just gonna take back what is rightfully mine.
And you know how I'm gonna do that?
I'm gonna do it with my Frog Splash.
That Intercontinental title,
that rightfully belongs to Eddie Guerrero.
[Ross] This should be a great match right here.
RVD defending his Intercontinental title against Eddie Guerrero.
[Jerry] This match is gonna be lightning-quick, J.R.
[Ross] Van Dam, step over kick, scoring against Eddie Guerrero.
[Jerry] And wait a minute.
[Ross] And Guerrero now with the Intercontinental title.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] Van Dam inadvertently nailed referee Tim White
-with a stick and, oh, the neckbreaker. -[Jerry] Oh!
Right on that championship belt.
[Ross] Guerrero up on top.
Look at Van Dam's positioning.
-[Jerry] Here it comes. -[Ross] Can Eddie Guerrero even reach him?
-[Jerry] Frog Splash! Whoa! -[Ross] Oh, my God.
-[Jerry] Eddie hits it. -[Ross] What impact. What impact!
And Eddie Guerrero has just defeated RVD.
[Jerry] What a shock!
[Ross] And Eddie Guerrero is the new Intercontinental Champion.
But the question, King, is for how long
will Eddie Guerrero retain Intercontinental gold?
[Jerry] There's no stopping Latino Heat, J.R.
-["One Of A Kind" playing] -[Ross] Uh-oh.
[Jerry] Wait a minute.
♪ One of a kind! ♪
[Howard] From Battle Creek, Michigan,
weighing 230 pounds, the challenger,
Rob Van Dam!
[Ross] What an ovation.
A thunderous ovation for the challenger
for the Intercontinental Championship, Rob Van Dam,
the young man who won the Intercontinental title
at WrestleMania before over 67,000 fans.
And now Van Dam is here at Wembley Arena,
live for all of us to see
in an attempt to regain his Intercontinental Championship.
[Jerry] Wait a minute. Wait a minute, J.R., what do you mean his?
[Ross] I think in Van Dam's mind,
that he is the rightful holder of the Intercontinental title.
All he needs is to regain possession of the championship belt.
-[Jerry] In Van Dam's mind. -[bell ringing]
[Jerry] There's nothing in Van Dam's mind.
Come on. Give me a break, dude.
[Ross] Both these men, as we have seen,
masters of the Frog Splash,
-both will take chances. -[Jerry] Oh, here you go.
[Ross] Eddie Guerrero quicker than a hiccup, no doubt about that,
but Van Dam and his educated feet
can come at you in a lot of different directions.
Nice kip-up by Van Dam, back in the arm wringer,
trying to go for that leg sweep,
missed it, now lateral press, but look at-- look at Guerrero.
-[Jerry] Oh, there you go. [laughs] -[Ross] How quick is he?
And this match starting off not quickly, but suddenly.
[Jerry] It's the educated feet versus Latino Heat.
[Ross] Oh, here we go.
So, King, hard to say,
I would be more impressed with, at this point, between these two men.
They-- they're so evenly matched, quite frankly.
But I do think that Van Dam just-- I got a feeling this is gonna be his night.
[crowd chanting] Rob Van Dam!
[Jerry] Well, all I can tell you, he may be Rob Van Dam,
but he does not have Latino Heat.
He's gotta get a taste of it now though.
[Ross] Guerrero sending those forearms in the side of the head of Rob Van Dam.
Again, we're happy you're with us throughout the United Kingdom
and the Republic of Ireland.
We're live in Australia as well, and thank you for joining us
for this World Wrestling Entertainment extravaganza.
[crowd chanting] RVD! RVD!
[Ross] And Van Dam, the baseball slide that did indeed find his mark.
-[Jerry] Look out! Oh. -[Ross] Oh, Van Dam.
And Van Dam with a moonsault from the apron.
[Jerry] Wham bam, Van Dam, he's everywhere.
[Ross] Van Dam now in control offensively.
Van Dam, the unorthodox one with a leg drop.
That would do it there.
There's the lateral press, and Van Dam gets another near fall.
[Jerry] I'm telling you, Rob is surprising me.
He's cooling off Latino Heat here.
-[Ross] Van Dam-- oh. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Oh, the split-legged moonsault!
That's gonna be all. Van Dam's gonna-- No, it's not gonna do it.
Guerrero showing his tenacity and will to win, able to kick out.
[Jerry] Split-legged moonsault.
Uh-oh.
-[Ross] Guerrero, well, there's a rollup… -[Jerry] What?
[Ross] …countered by Van Dam, and Guerrero quickly up.
And catching up with Guerrero is like trying to pour smoke
through a keyhole, almost impossible to do.
-[Jerry] Look out! -[Ross] Oh, look at that.
Great elevation by Van Dam.
-Man, this is a torrid pace. -[Jerry] Ooh.
-That did it. -[Ross] Guerrero went back south,
and Van Dam went right to the floor as you can see,
and Guerrero now trying to seize this moment to turn the table
and rebuild the momentum in this match.
And those steel steps will help him.
-[Jerry] I think he just seized the steps. -[crowd cheering and booing]
[Jerry] Now, J.R., since we are here in the United Kingdom, you know,
and you are from Oklahoma,
I'm gonna-- I'm gonna have to properly verse you tonight
into speaking a little of The Queen's English.
-[Ross] Oh, this ought to be good. -[Jerry] Of course.
[crowd chanting] Eddie sucks! Eddie sucks! Eddie sucks!
[Ross] The crowd here certainly not, um, favoring Eddie Guerrero,
this huge capacity crowd as we mentioned,
selling out in 21 minutes when tickets went on sale last November.
So these fans have traveled from-- uh-oh, there's another cover.
And here we go.
Two.
[Jerry] And the fans here, J.R., absolutely loopy.
-They're loopy. -[Ross] They're loopy?
[Jerry] Yeah. Loopy.
-[Ross] Is that good? -[Jerry] Of course, it's great.
[Ross] Never know with you.
-But Van Dam's head… -Hey, come on.
[Ross] …started getting introduced to that top turnbuckle.
Guerrero now, grounding Van Dam and Guerrero building that momentum.
Guerrero turning it on here offensively.
Guerrero knows how dangerous Van Dam is.
-Now Guerrero-- That's not a… -[Jerry] Oh?
-[crowd booing] -[Jerry] Cool off, Latino Heat.
You'll get disqualified.
[Ross] Well, you gotta be a little careful,
treading lightly on that referee.
Guerrero doesn't wanna get disqualified in this match.
Certainly, as we all know, a championship in the World Wrestling Entertainment
cannot change hands on a count out or a disqualification.
Certainly Van Dam looking for only a pin or submission.
That's the only way he's gonna win this title here tonight.
Suplex by Guerrero, both shoulder, lateral press,
and referee Chad Patton found a two-count in that lateral press.
And right now, this match offensively, King, belongs to the champion.
[Jerry] Well, Rob Van Dam, I mean, he came out here,
he was flipping, he was flying everywhere.
He may be, uh-- well, he looks a little creamed if you ask me.
-[Ross] Creamed? -[Jerry] Yeah.
-[Ross] What does that mean? -[Jerry] Well, he's cream-crackered.
If you don't understand these things, J.R., I'll translate it for you.
-[Ross] I need some help. -[Jerry] Okay.
He's, uh, he's tired.
[Ross] I can agree with that.
-And-- -[Jerry] Here we go, Latino Heat!
Oh, beautiful.
[Ross] And that's a high-impact move.
Guerrero now looking for it. He's got it.
And Van Dam shot his shoulder up at the very last moment.
So Guerrero got a half-a-second away from pinning Van Dam here.
[crowd chanting] RVD! RVD!
It says to me that Eddie Guerrero has been very reserved
and almost withdrawn today.
I know he's thinking about this huge matchup,
but it seems to me that Eddie Guerrero may think subconsciously, King,
that Van Dam's got Guerrero's number.
[Jerry] You think that Latino Heat thinks that Van Dam has his number?
-Come on, J.R. Give me a break. -[Ross] I do believe that.
And Van Dam got a foot on the ropes.
Referee is gonna break the hold
and Guerrero sort of taking advantage of that referee's five-count,
continuing to punish Van Dam
even though the challenger Van Dam was in the ropes.
[Jerry] Oh, this should be good.
This is gonna leave a mark. Ooh.
He's on the ropes all right, J.R.
[Ross] Van Dam hung up on the bottom rope.
[Jerry] I think Eddie Guerrero has just been focused.
-I mean, he knows this is a huge match. -Get off. One, two--
[Ross] Well, you may be right. That is-- it is a huge match.
-[Jerry] I mean, after-- -[Ross] That you are right about.
-[Jerry] Well, after-- now, wait a minute. -[crowd chanting] Eddie sucks!
[Ross] And Guerrero having more words with the official.
[Jerry] Speaking of words, listen to this crowd.
[wrestlers shouting] Come on!
Come on.
[Ross] Van Dam up and over.
[Jerry] Hang on. Hang on. Latino Heat. Look at that!
-Wait a minute. -[Ross] Oh, the referee--
oh, there's a cover. He's gone over. Van Dam.
-[crowd booing] -[Jerry] He can't do that, can he?
[Ross] Guerrero hanging on that rope and he's distracted the referee.
There's a cradle and there's-- oh!
How close was that?
Referee's hand was coming down for the three-count.
And Guerrero, so quick, right back up,
again seizing the momentum right from the--
literally the jaws of defeat there.
[Jerry] Did you see the look Eddie Guerrero gave that referee?
That was some serious Latino Heat. Oh, look at this now.
[groans]
[Ross] Guerrero with a submission maneuver.
[Jerry] Referee better be careful.
That was almost like two against one there.
[Chad] Get up, come on. What do you say, Rob?
[Ross] There's been a lot of controversy in the officiating here on Raw
in the-- on Raw brand in the last few weeks.
[Jerry] You got that right. Ric Flair, a referee?
-Come on. -[Ross] Van Dam reaching that bottom rope.
Guerrero trying to torque that ankle.
And Van Dam finally gets the rope, but the damage here on the lower back
and the ankle of Van Dam may have already set in and been done here.
Both these men rely on their quickness and their high-risk offense,
you take their legs and that offense is out the window.
[Jerry] Well, Van Dam and those educated feet,
if you can ever nullify them.
-[Ross] Ooh. -[Jerry] Look out.
-[Ross] Oh, that one-- -[Jerry] Like that.
[Ross] Getting straight A's on that. And look at Guerrero
using his feet to drop kick Van Dam in that shin and the knee.
-[Jerry] Latino Heat has feet. -[Ross chuckles]
[Jerry] Now look at this. You're right. He's gonna work on that leg.
-[Ross] Van Dam-- -[Jerry] Oh, man.
-Come on, Rob. What do you say? -[Ross] And look at that,
another submission attempt here by Eddie Guerrero,
trying to hyperextend the knee.
[Jerry] I don't think a leg is supposed to bend that way, is it?
-[Ross] Absolutely not. -Come on.
[Ross] And Van Dam is writhing in pain
and they have to give it up.
What do you say, Rob?
-[crowd chanting] RVD! RVD! -[Chad] Come on.
-[Ross] Oh, crowd getting behind Van Dam. -[Jerry] I'm just thinking, J.R.
How sweet would it be if Latino Heat were to win this match by submission?
[Ross] Oh, Van Dam using his other leg and foot.
[Jerry] That's not right. It's one of those smart feet.
[Ross] Van Dam trying to get the circulation back in that leg.
He's limping noticeably as Guerrero again goes right back to that knee.
No wasted motion by Guerrero.
He really knows what he's doing in there. The Intercontinental Champion,
one of the very, very best ever in the WWE.
[Jerry] I know you hate to say that, don't you, J.R.?
You're such a huge Rob Van Dam fan.
[Ross] I respect both men quite frankly, King,
but Eddie Guerrero is such an arrogant young man
and he's also very tenacious as we are seeing.
[Jerry] He's Latino Heat.
[Ross] This is a great game plan
that everybody can learn from.
Guerrero is focused on a body part.
He's debilitating it
and is refusing to go anywhere else but that leg.
[Jerry] And he even used the rope for a little bit of extra leverage
-when the referee wasn't looking. -[Ross] And that's not surprising.
[groans]
[Jerry] It's only cheating if you get caught.
[Ross] Well, that's King's rule, kids.
[Jerry] Hey, now wait a minute.
[Ross] Not King of England. King, you, you.
[Jerry] They don't have a king here yet.
[Ross] Van Dam trying to fight back in this situation
but he's on-- literally on one leg right now, and--
oh, Guerrero, look that.
-[Jerry] No, too late. Oh, no. -[Ross] Van Dam scored.
Van Dam scored with a-- with a super kick, but can he capitalize?
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Ross] Guerrero got his brain scrambled with that-- with that super kick,
that straight martial arts thrust kick by the challenger.
And-- but Guerrero and Van Dam now exchanging those right hands.
[Jerry] Oh, it's all gone Pete Tong for Latino Heat.
-[Ross] A what? -[Jerry] Pete Tong.
Look at this.
Oh.
-Oh! Man. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] What a monkey flip by Van Dam.
That was some hang time by Guerrero.
This crowd can sense that the momentum has changed.
This capacity crowd sensing
that Eddie Guerrero's Intercontinental title in jeopardy.
Oh, what a suplex, a float over.
Oh, it was a seamless move from the suplex
to the float over by Van Dam.
He got a near-fall
and the Intercontinental Champion is in big, big trouble.
-[Jerry] Oh, no. -[Ross] Rolling Thunder!
Van Dam with Rolling Thunder, gets the cover,
and he's-- oh, he touch-- the referee, I thought the referee touched the mat
for the three-count.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] He was that close.
[Jerry] I got a bad feeling about this, J.R.
[Ross] Eddie Guerrero's gotta-- better hope that Van Dam makes a mistake.
[Jerry] Look at this.
Oh, no.
[Ross] Guerrero countered.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Van Dam with another moonsault.
That has gotta do it.
-That's gotta do it. -[Jerry] Look out.
-[Ross] We're gonna have a-- no. -Two.
[Jerry] Oh, that was so close.
[Ross] Man, it cannot get any closer,
and Van Dam might be holding the Intercontinental title.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] What a beautiful step over kick.
The heel kick by Van Dam.
-[Jerry] Oh, no. -[Ross] Guerrero is down.
[Jerry] I feel a Five Star.
[Ross] RVD is up.
He's looking for the Five Star.
[Jerry] Oh. He missed it.
[Ross] But Guerrero able to avoid the fatal Five-Star Frog Splash.
And Guerrero in big trouble.
Guerrero's lip is busted.
Guerrero bleeding from the mouth.
Guerrero has been manhandled and he's got the--
What the hell is this, King?
[Jerry] Well, he just wants to show off-- Wait a minute, ref, it's his.
-[Ross] He's going to use that belt. -[Jerry] Get out of the way.
[Ross] And now Guerrero's manhandling the referee.
-[Jerry] Just get out of the way, ref. -[Ross] Now that's not right.
-[Jerry] What? -[bell ringing]
-[Ross] Wait. -[Jerry] What's that for?
[Ross] Referee's calling for the bell.
[Jerry] He can't do that, can he?
[Ross] I don't blame that referee one bit, King, he's doing his job.
That's all he's doing.
[Jerry] Wait a minute. You're overreacting.
[Ross] Hey, wait a minute.
-[Jerry] Yeah. -[Ross] What the hell?
-Eddie Guerrero. -[Jerry] He's gonna catch the Latino Heat.
[Ross] Wait a minute.
-Eddie Guerrero… -[Jerry] Catch him.
[Ross] …chasing this ref-- He can't do that.
Boom! Oh, my God!
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Rob Van Dam,
I think has won this match by disqualification,
but right now, Guerrero's only worried
about trying to get out of here with his skin.
[Jerry yells] Oh.
[Ross] Unbelievable.
The elevation, the dropkick.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Ross] I had a feeling Van Dam had Guerrero's number all night long.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] But Guerrero has been disqualified.
Meaning he'll retain the Intercontinental title, but look at--
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] That's uncalled for.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] You're not the champion.
[Ross] Eddie Guerrero got himself disqualified
intentionally in my view.
Guerrero knew in the pit of his stomach
that Van Dam on this night was the better man.
[Jerry] You need glasses, J.R., if that's your view.
[Ross] Someday, these two men will cross paths again.
-[Jerry] No. Wait a minute. -[Ross] Wait a minute.
Oh, my God, not this.
[Jerry] Hey. He's not-- he's not positioned right.
[Ross] What is-- what is Van Dam thinking?
-[Ross] And Van-- -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Oh, Van Dam-- Van Dam changed direction in midair.
[Ross] Amazing body control.
Van Dam with a Five-Star Frog Splash.
["One Of A Kind" playing]
[Howard] The winner of this bout as a result of a disqualification,
Rob Van Dam.
[Ross] Rob Van Dam has won this matchup
against the Intercontinental Champion, Eddie Guerrero,
but Guerrero retains the Intercontinental title
via disqualification.
♪ Fear I leave In the back of your mind ♪
♪ Makes you believe I'm… ♪
[Ross] Van Dam, I thought he had Guerrero's number all night long,
and I think Guerrero thought that too.
Guerrero confronting the referee,
manhandling the official, getting himself disqualified.
And, King, this is after the match.
Watch this.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] That's amazing athleticism.
[Jerry] Uh, no, it's not. That's just-- that's-- and so is this.
This is Rob Van Dam just large in it.
He's showing off, J.R.
[Ross] Van Dam changing direction in midair.
Indeed, ladies and gentlemen, there will be another day
for these two to have another classic battle
for the Intercontinental Championship.
[Jerry] Man, what a match.
♪ The fear I see When I look in your eyes ♪
[Jerry] Wow. Ah!
Molly, Jazz, tonight, you all are facing
Trish and Jackie in a tag team match.
I'm just curious what are--
do you have a problem with me or something?
Uh, yes, Terri.
Actually, Jazz and I both have a problem with you.
We also have a problem with our opponents tonight,
Jackie and Trish, and all the other Divas
because any woman who would exploit her sacred body is nothing but trash.
See, Jazz and I, we don't have to take our clothes off
to know that we are the most beautiful women in the WWE.
And in fact, we chose not to be on the Divas video
because they wanted us to expose our breasts.
-[Jerry] Well-- -And speaking of breasts,
look at this.
This is a UK publication, an everyday newspaper
that everyday people can pick up and be corrupted by.
Terri, you, Trish, Jackie,
they're all trash.
The women in this magazine, trash.
Anyone who would read this smut is trash.
The UK is full of sleaze and trash. Ugh.
[crowd booing]
But tonight, Jazz and I, we're gonna win our match for what is pure.
Our victory is a victory for morality.
Molly, you know, I think what you're saying is that somehow,
you and Jazz are better than I am because I'm proud of my body
-and I'm not afraid to show it. -[crowd cheering]
And I think that what the issue really is, is that you're jealous
because I have something that you two don't have.
Oh, really? And what is that?
[Jerry] Hey, wait a minute. Oh, my gosh.
She's getting her kid off.
-These. -[Jerry] Yes, whoo-hoo!
Puppies! Puppies!
Yeah, baby!
-Did you see that, J.R.? -[Ross] I saw both of that.
-[Jerry] UK puppies. -[Ross] It left Jazz speechless.
[Jerry] Yeah.
["Whiplash" playing]
[Jerry] Whoo-hoo.
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following Divas Tag Team match is scheduled for one fall.
Approaching the ring, the combination
of Trish Stratus and Jacqueline.
[Ross] Well, two ladies that are in the Diva video.
Two ladies that certainly--
well, they have a lot of qualifications to be in that Diva video,
Trish and Jackie in this Divas Tag Team matchup.
[Jerry] Oh, Trish.
Oh, J.R.
["Monster" playing]
[Howard] Introducing the team
of Molly Holly
and the World Wrestling Entertainment Women's Champion,
Jazz.
[Jerry] J.R., give me a break.
I mean, there's no surprise to me why Jazz is not in the Divas video.
Look at her face.
You people at home might wanna look at her through a pinhole
in a piece of cardboard or something.
Look at that.
-And I know what you're thinking, J.R. -[Ross] Yeah.
[Jerry] You're thinking-- you're thinking you don't look at the mantelpiece
while you're stoking the fire, right?
[Ross] What the hell are you talking about?
[Jerry] Come on, J.R., that's an English expression.
[Ross] You got-- you got--
Jazz is probably the toughest woman that I've ever seen here
in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
A female Mike Tyson,
and Jazz and Molly not taking any risk
and not waiting on their adversaries to gain the advantage here
and there's a double team.
[Jerry] Ooh, that wholesome Molly.
[Ross] Molly, the innocent little flower, at least she says she is.
[Jerry] And what were they talking about, a victory for morality?
-What would that be? -[Ross] I don't know.
You have to ask Molly for a better definition.
-[Jerry] Oh, right on the bum. -[Ross] Atomic drop.
And Molly somewhat bum worthy. I would've bummed her.
[Jerry] Yeah.
[Ross] And look at Jackie hammering away, and Molly and referee Jack Doan.
Boy, this is a tough match to officiate, I'll tell you that.
As Divas Tag Team--
[Jerry] Well, I'll do it if Jack has too much trouble.
I'd get in there. Whoo-hoo.
Look out, Jack, just got rolled over.
[Trish] Come on, Jackie.
[Ross] I think--
Molly concerned that she got so close to the referee-- there's a roll up!
And Jazz interrupt the count.
-Get out. -Shut up, ref.
-Get out. -Come on, ref, what are you doing?
[Ross] Molly Holly and her attitude, boy, I'll tell you-- what a cheap shot.
Molly with a cheap shot on Trish,
and now look, another double team.
I'll say this for Molly and Jazz,
they are certainly on the same page continuity-wise.
[Jerry] Yeah. If they win, then wouldn't that be a great victory for morality.
[Ross] And the cover for Jazz, and Jazz got a near-fall.
-Come on, gramps. -That was two.
[Ross] Oh, look at the strength of Jazz catching Jackie in midair…
-[Jerry] Ooh. -[Ross] …and slams her.
Jackie tried the cross body press, got caught in midair by Jazz.
And Jazz dropping the leg drop,
but deciding not to go for the cover, which is a little bit surprising.
[Jerry] I never said Jazz wasn't tough.
She's tough all right.
[Jerry] She's just not too easy on the eyes.
Ooh.
Oh, man.
[Ross] And Jazz catching Jackie coming in at the right boot
and knocking down Jackie.
Certainly, Jackie and Trish, both I'm sure would like the opportunity
-to fight Jazz for the Women's title. -[Jerry] Here we go.
-[Ross] Jackie gets the tag to Trish. -[Jerry] Whoo-hoo.
See that puppy power going.
[Ross] And, boy, does Trish have a score to settle with Jazz.
These two ladies are really building a very intense rivalry,
and there's a jawbreaker by Jazz, driving her own head
right up under the jaw of beautiful Trish Stratus.
[Jerry] Oh, that Trish's one fit bird, J.R.
Come on, Trish.
Oh, yeah. Come on in here, Molly. Oh.
[Ross] The virtuous Molly, won't sprain any ankles
where she landed coming in from the outside.
-Knock it off. -[Jerry] Oh, man.
-[Ross] Hard chop right on the chest. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] And Trish walked right into that kick.
Boy, she gotta-- got her jaw dislodged there.
[crowd booing]
[Jerry] Oh, she's so proud of herself.
[Ross] Jazz, as we said, has a bona fide mean streak.
A woman of few words which is somewhat unusual in my life.
[Jerry] I'll just call her, um, well, a boiler, or a minger.
-[Ross] A boiler? -[Jerry] Yeah. Oh, no.
[Ross] Look at the strength, double arm chicken wing submission move.
-Trish's gonna give it up here. -[Jerry] Oh.
Oh, the puppies. Oh, the teeth.
-Better the teeth than the puppies. -It's okay.
[Ross] I thought you might say that.
And now looking with a cover is Jazz,
and Trish shoots her right arm off the canvas,
her arm and shoulder, more specifically the shoulder.
-Get off the hair. -Not the hair! Come on.
[Jerry] Come on, Trish.
[Ross] Tag made and Jazz has done some damage certainly.
Molly taking right up where Jazz has left off.
Trish's head again bouncing off the canvas.
[Jerry] The virtuous Molly.
-She says she's a virgin, J.R. -[Ross] I've heard that.
Well, there's nothing wrong with being a virgin.
[Jerry] No? Oh.
[Ross] Handspring elbow by Molly Holly. Could this be enough here?
-And Jackie's in. -[Jerry] What a kick.
[Ross] To make sure that it's not.
Jackie, hard kick through the, uh, virgin-like Molly.
-Watch the hair. -[Jerry] Virgin-like?
[Ross] Well, I don't know that--
I take her word that she's a virgin.
I don't really care.
[Jerry] No mocking.
Come on, you made a tag. Get out.
[Ross] Jazz and Molly, double-teaming Trish again, this time by the hair.
One, two
[Ross] Now the hook of the leg, and Trish again that--
getting that right shoulder off the canvas
and each time, it's a little bit later than the other.
-Come on, Trish, get up. -[Jerry] Come on. Uh-oh.
I was saying the same thing. Get up, Trish.
[Ross] Jazz, stinging jabs on Trish
who is on-- she's on Dream Street here,
-and caught the right hand… -[Jerry] Here we go.
[Ross] …and Trish fighting back Shooting those forearms in there.
-[Jerry] Come on, Trish. -[Ross] Trish.
Oh, a cheap shot on the outside by Molly Holly.
[Jerry] Look out. [laughs]
[Ross] The virtuous Molly was cheating,
-and there's a back slide by Trish. -[Jerry] Ref, ref.
-[Ross] Trish has got the-- got the pin. -[Jerry] Where are you, ref?
[Ross] And then the referee is detained with Jackie, getting her out of the ring,
and, oh, they got her, and still got a near-fall.
-Come on, ref. -[Jerry] That had to be a 15-count.
[Ross] Trish having some problems with the referee we saw earlier.
-A roll up. -Two!
[Ross] Can't take your eye off the ball, Trish.
[Jerry] The ball?
-Oh, beautiful. -[Ross] And what a move.
Great neckbreaker. That could be it here.
We got a cover. A hook of the leg and a near-fall.
-Jackie, Jack-- -[Ross] Trish is certainly--
[Jerry] Come on, Trish. You can do it.
[Ross] King, have you ever seen a woman tougher than Jazz
in your entire life, ever?
[Jerry] Well, I don't-- I don't know.
She's tough all right, but here comes one that can hang with her.
[Ross] Jackie tough as well, and Jackie right in Jazz's face
with those right hands, but Jazz raked the eyes of Jackie.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] And Jackie hotshotting.
Jazz off that top rope.
-Rolls her up, goes Jackie. -One, two--
[Ross] And what the-- Jazz tried steal one there,
pulling Jackie's tights, reversing that cradle.
-Oh, what a crotch shot. Oh, DDT. -[Jerry] Oh.
-I told you that Jackie was tough. -[Ross] That's gotta be it there.
-And-- well, we'll never know because-- -[Jerry] Molly.
[Ross] Molly interrupted the count again.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] My gosh, almighty,
Jackie just unloaded on Molly.
But again…
-[yelling] -[Ross] Uh-oh.
-Jazz got the advantage here. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
-[Ross] Jazz-- -[Jerry] This could do it.
[Ross] Jazz with a half Boston crab on Jackie, a submission move.
[Jerry] Come on, Jackie.
Come on, Jackie.
-[Ross] Jazz, wanting Jackie to tap out… -[Jerry] Jackie. Jackie.
[Ross] …to give up.
[Jerry] Jackie wanted to get to those ropes, pull yourself, pull.
Come on, Jackie.
[Ross] Jazz putting a tremendous amount of pressure…
-[Jerry] Dig those nails. -[Ross] …on the knee.
[Jerry] Dig those nails into that mat, pull yourself across there.
[Ross] And the lower back as well, King.
-Jackie is… -What do we say, Jackie?
[Ross] She may not be long for this match.
No!
[Jerry] Let me ask you this, what if the puppies pop out?
Look out.
[Ross] Well, I'm sure if they do, you'll bring it to our attention.
[Jerry] This match is making me feel a little randy.
[Ross] Oh, randy.
[Jerry] Come on.
[Ross] Taking a deep breath there and then keeping it randy.
Trish-- or Jazz, smart move by Jazz.
Now Jazz going for the STF, the step over crossface.
[Jerry] Oh, did you see that?
[Ross] Trish came out of nowhere.
[Jerry] Flying puppies. Whoo-hoo.
[Ross] Both feet right into the head and look at Molly back in.
Jackie needed to make a tag here.
[Jerry] Double team-- hey, ref, how about the double team?
-[Ross] Jackie with-- what a clothesline. -[Jerry] Whoa.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] And Trish and Jackie now.
[Jerry] Now the sides are even.
[Ross] Trish and Jackie taking it to Jazz and Molly
in this Diva's Tag Team matchup here live in Insurrextion.
[Jerry] Uh-oh, this doesn't look good.
Hey.
[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] Jazz and-- -[Jerry] Wait.
-Stratusfaction! -[Ross] Stratusfaction!
Trish hit the Stratusfaction on the champion.
[Jerry] Oh, my God, there's cover.
-[Ross] Double team. And it's over. -[Jerry] Look!
[bell ringing]
[crowd cheering]
-["Whiplash" playing] -[Howard] Here are your winners,
Trish Stratus and Jacqueline.
[Jerry] If Molly Holly and Jazz had won, it was gonna be a victory for morality.
What's this a victory for, J.R.?
-[Ross] I would say the puppies. -[Jerry] Puppy power, yes!
-Fuwah! -[Ross] Hard-fought match.
A lot of effort on display by all four women,
but it was Trish and Jackie's night.
The virtuous Molly.
[Jerry] Oh, she's got a headache as usual.
[Ross] King, maybe she wants mouth to mouth.
[Jerry] That's why she's still a virgin. She always has a headache.
[Ross] Molly staggering around
and certainly just gives the WWE Women's Champion Jazz
something to think about, concerning Trish and Jackie.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Whoo-hoo!
Can we show this whole match again?
[Ross] We can certainly show the double pin.
[Jerry] Look at that little do-si-do. Look at this.
That chin kick, followed by a bit of Stratusfaction!
Oh, that's brilliant. Brilliant.
[crowd] One, two--
[Ross] Well, it was-- it was rather smashing.
[Jerry] Yo, right on.
[Ross] That is one hot pair, Jackie and Trish.
[Jerry] Wow, wow, wow.
Those puppies are heaving.
-[Ross] They were? -[Jerry] Yes.
-[Ross] Oh, they were. -[Jerry] Whoo.
[Ross] Wow.
[Scott] All right. Pac, you ready to go, baby?
-You ready to go? -Hell yeah, I'm ready, man.
I can't wait to get my hands on that big dumb Texan,
and I'm still pissed after what happened on Raw.
-Yeah, that was wrong. -You know I didn't lose, man.
I know you didn't.
-You had your foot on the ropes. -I had my feet on the ropes.
You know it. You know what else?
What?
I'm gonna do to his ass same thing I did
-to that big, dumb freak, Kane. -[laughs] I dare you.
-And you know what? -What?
If I don't win, I'm never coming back to this lousy country again. [chuckles]
-Do you want me to go with you? -No, you stay here.
I gotta do this one myself.
Man, I don't know why you'd come back to this country after you beat him anyway.
["Protection" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from Sweetwater, Texas,
weighing 292 pounds, Bradshaw.
[Ross] Just under 300 pounds is Bradshaw,
and certainly Bradshaw,
deep in his heart from Texas,
has a huge score to settle with the nWo
after what they did to Bradshaw a few weeks ago on Raw,
taking Bradshaw out before his scheduled match
with Bradshaw and Stone Cold against the nWo.
[Jerry] Ah, Bradshaw's always mad at somebody.
Now he wants to take it out on poor X-Pac.
Did X-Pac say he's been drunk for a while?
He said he was still pissed.
Over here that means you're drunk.
["Rockhouse" playing]
-[Ross] I think he was angry. -[Jerry] Oh, I see.
[Howard] Representing the nWo,
weighing 215 pounds, X-Pac.
[Ross] Well, as you can see, X-Pac wearing that Kane mask…
[Jerry] Hey, wait a minute.
[Ross] …that X-Pac took from Kane after the gang assault
on The Big Red Machine, resulting in a serious injury for Kane.
[Jerry] And X-Pac told me, when he puts that mask on,
he feels eight feet tall.
He feels like he's huge, his chest just jumps out,
his traps bow up and he just-- I mean, he gets all the confidence in the world.
Look, he does look bigger.
[Ross] Well, the whole thing makes me sick.
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] In fact-- the hell is this about?
Bradshaw talking to referee Nick Patrick about something and I'm--
X-Pac did something to that turnbuckle pad.
That mask on X-Pac is just such a sad thing.
Let's not encourage him.
He doesn't need encouragement.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] J.R., I just noticed, you look a lot better in black and white.
["Rockhouse" playing]
[Ross] Kane sustained an attack, as many of you may remember
on Raw a few weeks ago.
He was lured after a match with X-Pac by the way,
-into the locker room area, where-- -[Jerry] Come on, J.R., just say it.
X-Pac beat Kane, plain and simple, and even took his mask.
-[Ross] They'd a hard-- -[Jerry] That's why we haven't seen Kane,
I don't know if he's injured or he's just ashamed
to show that fried face of his.
[Ross] After what happened to Kane, with chairs and pipes and everything else,
how could any living human being not be injured?
That's my question, that's all I'm saying.
[Jerry] Oh, man, look at X-Pac.
[Ross] And certainly another dark day for the nWo
in their-- and that gang assault on Kane.
And look at Bradshaw, he's big and he's powerful,
and if X-Pac has any hope of winning this match,
he better start-- he better get on his horse right away
and quicken the pace.
[Jerry] Oh, Bradshaw, he's a massive bulk all right, but-- nope.
-[crowd] X-Pac sucks. -[Jerry] Well, listen to this, J.R.
[Ross] That's pretty much the universal opinion around the world.
[Jerry] This is not proper.
I mean, X-Pac's a guest here in the United Kingdom. Oh.
[Ross] So you're alleging X-Pac does not suck?
-[Jerry] Of course not. -Hey, watch the eyes.
[Ross] X-Pac raking the eyes of Bradshaw.
[Jerry] But, you know, even if he did, J.R.,
that wouldn't be the proper thing to say. Ooh.
-[Ross] Big shot there-- -[Jerry] Just not proper.
[Nick] What do we say, X-Pac?
[Ross] Bradshaw taking his time here with X-Pac.
I think Bradshaw's gonna enjoy slowing this pace down
and just physically manhandling,
physically dissecting his adversary from the nWo,
and we're talking about the nWo,
certainly the newest member is the 500-pound Big Show…
[Jerry] Oh, my God!
[Ross] It will be "Stone Cold" Steve Austin later here tonight.
[Jerry] Poor X-Pac just got lobbed. Time out, ref, he called time out.
[Ross] There are no time-outs.
You think the rules change when you come to the United Kingdom?
[Jerry] I thought they had time out here.
[Ross] Not in the WWE, not Pro Wrestling Entertainment.
[Jerry] Oh, look out.
[Ross] And X-Pac quickly moving out of the way,
-now his knee come to play. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] We're talking about Van Dam's proficiency
with his feet and martial arts.
X-Pac can do it as well.
Bradshaw looking for that clothesline,
-that big knockout punch. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
-[Ross] Didn't find it there. -[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Ross] And for the strength and size of that just comes into play.
[Jerry] The back of poor X-Pac's head just bounced hard off that mat.
Oh, look out.
[Ross] We've mentioned the Big Show now in the nWo against Stone Cold
live here tonight at Insurrextion.
Also another main event tonight, a huge one,
and man, this is not gonna be for the weak at heart.
Triple H takes on The Undertaker later tonight.
And Bradshaw again, living and dying for that clothesline,
and X-Pac taking him downstairs.
You saw Eddie Guerrero did something comparable to this
and focusing on those legs
and this is especially intelligent for X-Pac
to destroy the vertical base of his larger opponent.
[Jerry] Especially when this-- as much larger.
Now look at X-Pac, what's-- see, he's doing a service there. The--
[Ross] Oh. Bradshaw's head just getting rammed into that-- into that bolt,
that exposed bolt there that-- there you see it.
The turnbuckle pad hanging.
[Jerry] Well, the turnbuckle pad was obviously loose.
[Ross] Well, X-Pac loosened it.
[Jerry] No, he was trying to fix it, then Bradshaw interrupted,
so then I guess--
[Ross] You don't see him loosen it earlier?
[Jerry] He's trying to show Bradshaw the dangers of a--
[Ross] I think Bradshaw may have been busted open here.
Get him out of there. Back it up.
[Ross] Referee is screaming at X-Pac to back it up
and that is absolutely falling on deaf ears.
And now look at X-Pac, again focusing back on that leg.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] And Bradshaw is in bad shape here.
[Jerry] Let's see. Oh, yes. He is busted open.
[Ross] That exposed turnbuckle pad
that X-Pac loosened himself earlier in the contest.
[Jerry] I told you X-Pac didn't suck, I told you he was tough.
I told you he did just beat Kane.
And now he's gonna do the same thing to this-- to this big Texan.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall, J.R.
[Ross] I've heard that. Can't disagree with that point.
[Jerry] I used to think the bigger they are, the harder they punch,
but no, it's the harder they fall.
-See? -[Ross] X-Pac scoring again with a kick,
looking for the lateral press, and Bradshaw, can he-- and he did get up.
-Bradshaw did kick out there. -[Jerry] Come on, ref.
-[Ross] X-Pac… -Fist over bring it up. One
[Ross] …in that mount position, pushing right downward on Bradshaw.
A lot of leverage advantage for X-Pac,
and that's the only way he's gonna gain a leverage advantage
is to having his larger opponent on the canvas just where he is.
[Jerry] This match may have to be stopped.
-That'd great, wouldn't it? -Get up, one--
[Jerry] What a victory that would be for X-Pac.
[Ross] It would be huge, there's no doubt about that.
We are live tonight at United Kingdom-- kick to the head--
and the Republic of Ireland.
Certainly thanking our fans in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland,
and we're live tonight in Australia as well.
[Jerry] The Land Down Under.
-[Ross] Hard chop by X-Pac… -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] …and again, a straight kick right to the bloody face of Bradshaw.
-What do you say, Bradshaw? -[grunts]
[Jerry] I'd just go ahead and give it up if I were you, Bradshaw.
-You're a mess. -[Ross] That's a blatant chokehold.
Bradshaw is not gonna quit, King. You know, the referee may stop,
but I'm not saying that, he may be well-advised to stop this match,
but Bradshaw won't quit himself.
[Jerry] Well, I wish he would quit because you know why?
[Ross] Why?
[Jerry] Well, I mean, it could be a tragedy
if Bradshaw were to win this match.
[Ross] Why would it be a tragedy?
[Jerry] Well, you heard X-Pac say, he would not return to United Kingdom,
he wouldn't come back to England if he lost.
[Ross] Well, that's not going to cause
any sleepless nights over here, I'll tell you.
-[Ross] Oh, ow. -[crowd gasps]
[Jerry] Oh, man.
-[Ross] Oh, Bradshaw… -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] Low chops in right hands,
and X-Pac going right back for that injured head.
-[Jerry] Get on that head. -Take it out of the corner, X-Pac!
Yeah, baby!
[Ross] Blood has flowed profusely out of the head of Bradshaw
thanks to X-Pac manipulating that turnbuckle.
-[Jerry] What a powerbomb. -[Ross] Bradshaw with a tremendous rush
of adrenaline, able to muster up one big offensive move
that has bought Bradshaw a little bit of time.
-Three. -[Jerry] Come on.
[Ross] The referee, you see that count. The referee has a ten-count.
If he reaches a ten-count, he can rule the matchup into--
[Jerry] Don't worry. X-Pac is gonna get up.
Look at X-Pac. He's feeling that little rush of adrenaline himself.
[Ross] Oh, Bradshaw catches X-Pac coming with the right hand.
Bradshaw again. This has broken down into nothing
but more than a bar room brawl. And Bradshaw--
[Jerry] Oh, yeah. Who stars in bar room brawls?
[Ross] That would be Bradshaw.
[Jerry] We got a new movie coming out called Bar Wars.
[Ross] Bradshaw, reverse elbow.
[Jerry] Oh. There you go. Kick him. Kick him.
[Ross] Oh. And Bradshaw stepped back.
Nice anticipation.
X-Pac tried to kick, didn't get all of it.
-[Jerry] Now he got that one. -[Ross] He got that one for sure.
-[Jerry] Right in that head. Oh. -[Ross] And a powerslam.
A powerslam. And that's gonna be-- Oh, near fall, is all it's going to be.
[Jerry] Remember what you said, X-Pac,
if you lose this, you're not coming back, so you gotta win.
-[Ross] Bradshaw going to do here? -[Jerry] Now what?
-Who knows? -[Ross] Where is he going, King?
[Jerry] It looks like he needs a few jars.
[Ross] I don't know-- it's jars of what, but Bradshaw--
this is uncharacteristic for Bradshaw.
The shoulder block off the top rope from a near 300-pound man.
The cover and X-Pac cannot kick-- well, he couldn't kick out
but he got his-- he got his foot on the bottom rope.
[Jerry] See? A real referee can always see that.
[Ross] And I'm assuming you're eluding to the owner of Raw, Ric Flair.
[Jerry] Right. Of course.
-Oh, beautiful. -[Ross] Oh, man.
That was a beautiful spinning heel kick by X-Pac.
That may be all here. Will it be enough? X-Pac.
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Ross] And the power of Bradshaw,
reaching down into the pit of his gut to kick out of that one.
[Jerry] What's he gonna do? He's gonna finish him off.
See, X-Pac wants to come back to the United Kingdom.
He loves it here in England.
[Ross] Well, it's a great place. He should love it.
[Jerry] Everything except the food, he said.
-Look out. No. -[Ross] Oh, crossbody.
The attempt thwarted.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] And a fallaway slam by Bradshaw,
who's right back in this ballgame.
-[Jerry] Hey, hey. -[Ross] Wait a minute.
-[Jerry] We got a little visitor. -[Ross] What is Scott Hall doing out here?
[Jerry] I think he's coming over to say hello to us.
-Hey, Scott. How are you? -[Ross] He's not gonna say hello.
-He doesn't even know who we are. -[Jerry] I know Scott Hall very well.
-Look, he's right in front of us. -[Ross] Scott Hall shouldn't be here.
And Bradshaw, the big-- the big boot knocking down X-Pac.
And Scott Hall has got those nunchucks of X-Pac's in his hand, King.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] He just clobbered Bradshaw.
The referee could not have seen it.
[Jerry] Well, what's wrong with Bradshaw?
[Ross] Scott Hall hit Bradshaw with the nunchucks.
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] And Bradshaw kicked out.
How about that?
[Jerry] What the heck? Scott, plan B, plan B.
[Ross] Yeah, your first plan to cheat didn't work.
[Jerry] Well, now you gotta admit, Scott Hall was minding his own business.
Bradshaw attacked him.
[Ross] What is Scott Hall doing out here? I gotta admit--
[Jerry] Well, he is in the nWo, you know? Oh, no.
[Ross] X-Pac trying to saddle up Bradshaw.
[Jerry] That wasn't a Bronco Buster, but it did bust something.
[Ross] Reverse of the Irish whip. Again, nobody there.
Bradshaw looking for the Clothesline from Hell
and nailed Scott Hall, who was standing up on the apron.
[Jerry] That's twice he's attacked Scott Hall for absolutely no reason.
[Ross] Are you hallucinating? Are you loony?
-[Jerry] Loony? -[Ross] Oh, X-Factor…
-[crowd counts] -…X-Pac steps in with the X-Factor,
driving Bradshaw's injured head into the canvas.
-[bell ringing] -["Rockhouse" playing]
[Howard] Here is your winner, X-Pac.
[Ross] Well, this started out as a one-on-one contest
but it entered-- it ended as a Handicap match in my view.
[Jerry] Once again, your view is a little distorted, J.R.
There's poor Scott Hall, got attacked not once but twice.
[Ross] Yeah, Scott Hall is a nice guy. Just come out to say hello to X-Pac.
He hadn't seen, oh, I don't know, 15, 20 minutes.
[Jerry] Well, you can just thank God for one thing, J.R.
-[Ross] And what would that be? -[Jerry] Thank God the fans here
in the United Kingdom are gonna get to see X-Pac again.
He shall return.
[Ross] Boy, that's gonna make everybody's week in the UK
-and Republic of Ireland, I'll tell you. -[Jerry] Check this out one more time.
The proverbial clothesline from you know where. Missed.
He connected with that blatant attack on Scott Hall.
[Ross] And a low blow that would lead to the X-Factor.
You saw the referee looking out at Scott Hall.
Low blow, X-Factor,
victory for the nWo's X-Pac.
[Jerry] What a huge win.
He'll be coming back to the United Kingdom.
You people can rejoice in that fact.
[crowd cheering]
We are here with The Undertaker,
who, tonight, here at Insurrextion, will face Triple H
in one of the most eagerly anticipated matches in WWE history.
You see, Coach, I'm in a real bad mood tonight.
So let's make sure we do this thing right so we don't make the same mistakes twice.
Yes, we are standing here with The Undertaker.
-[crowd] What? -Yes, we are here with the man
who savagely beat "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan on Raw.
-[crowd] What? -Yes, we're standing here with the man…
-[crowd] What? -…who is gonna give the same beating
-I gave "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan… -[crowd] What?
-…to Triple H tonight. -[crowd] What?
And it really doesn't matter, the passion, the desire,
-the comeback ability of Triple H… -[crowd] What?
-…because I will show no remorse… -[crowd] What?
…I will show no passion in the beating that I give Triple H tonight.
[crowd] What?
It's well chronicled that Triple H loves this business.
He eats, sleeps, and drinks the wrestling business.
[crowd] What?
Well, let me tell you how I feel about this business.
[crowd] What?
This business gives me an opportunity to beat the hell out of people.
-You know why? Because I like to. -[crowd] What?
Triple H has been able to overcome insurmountable odds.
He came back from a career-ending injury.
-He dealt with the McMahons. -[crowd] What?
But if he has any dreams, any hopes at all of conquering his biggest obstacle…
[crowd] What?
…that being me, his dreams will be shattered…
-[crowd] What? -…and any hopes of revenge…
-[crowd] What? -…and the fact that I'm the reason
he'd lost that World Wrestling Entertainment Championship…
-[crowd] What? -…those thoughts…
[crowd] What?
…will rest…
in peace.
[crowd] What?
[Jerry] Wow.
[Ross] One of two great main events here in London tonight,
here live at Sky Box Office at Insurrextion, The Undertaker and Triple H.
Not to mention, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and the 500-pound Big Show.
Two huge main events still to come tonight.
But we've got more championships
to be decided here and now.
["I'll Show You" playing]
-[bell rings] -[Howard] The following contest
scheduled for one fall
is for the World Wrestling Entertainment Hardcore Championship!
Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing 224 pounds,
the Hardcore Champion, Steven Richards!
[Ross] Well, ladies and gentlemen, if you were with us for Raw this past week
you know that Steven Richards is the new Hardcore Champion.
And, King, Steven Richards wins the title in a match assigned to Bubba Dudley,
-the champion, against Jazz. -[Jerry] Yeah.
We knew Jazz was tough, but she wasn't Bubba tough.
All of a sudden, Steven Richards shows up to try to play a tune on Bubba's head.
He got cornered, but then this some sort of shovel
planted into the head of big Bubba.
Then the guitar landed, and that was it.
[Ross] But Jazz has helped Steven Richards who joined the match in progress,
because you can do that in this Hardcore matches.
The Hardcore title, defended 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Anywhere a match can start at anytime, anyplace, King.
[Jerry] And Jazz looked like she was happy that Steven Richards won.
They actually took off in a getaway car together.
-["Can You Dig It Sucka?" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry yells]
♪ Can you dig it, sucka? ♪
[crowd cheering]
[Howard] The challenger, from Houston, Texas,
weighing 251 pounds, Booker T!
[Ross] Now, Booker T did challenge Steven Richards for the Hardcore title.
By the way, ladies and gentlemen,
Bubba Dudley is not here tonight,
to be with his seriously ill mother back in the States.
We certainly wish the mother-- Bubba's mama a speedy recovery.
I know Bubba wanted to be here.
[Jerry] Yeah, yeah, yeah, J.R. But let me ask you something.
I got something more important to ask you.
-[Ross] Yeah? -[Jerry] Can you dig it?
I'm asking you that, J.R. Can you?
-[Ross] Yeah. I'll try, King. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] You're just pathetic when you're trying to be hip.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] What great ovation, surprisingly, for Booker T.
Now, this match, they're very unusual, ladies and gentlemen.
There's no disqualifications.
There are no count outs. Pinfalls count anywhere.
-[Jerry] Now, are you upset with me… -[bell rings]
-[Jerry] …for calling you sucka? -[Ross] No.
[Jerry] You've been called a lot of things, J.R.,
and I'm sure that's not the worst of them.
-[Ross] Well, you're right about that. -[Jerry] Man.
And why does a great ovation for Booker T surprise you?
[Ross] Well, it's-- I guess they like the sucka here.
[Jerry] Right. And he does a great Spinaroonie.
I can't wait to see the Spinaroonie.
[Ross] Nice arm drag takedown by Steven Richards.
-I was-- -[Jerry] That's very hardcore.
-But go ahead. What? -[Ross] May I tell the fans
the rules of this match or would you like to do it?
[Jerry] Well, I'm sure they're confused right now about a Hardcore match
starting off with an arm drag.
[Ross] There are no disqualifications in these Hardcore title matches, folks.
No count outs and pinfalls count anywhere.
And if someone wants to get involved, all they gotta do is bring in a referee.
That's what Steven Richards did as we saw last week on Raw.
[Jerry] Are you through, sucka?
-[Ross] I am through, King. -[Jerry] Okay.
Let's go to the match. Look at this.
Now, we're getting hardcore.
Booker T is putting it on Steven Richards.
Ow. In the mouth. In the face.
In the chest.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Do a early Spinaroonie for us.
[Ross] I'll say this, Booker T has got this crowd behind him here tonight.
-And again-- -[Jerry] Here we go.
[Ross] Now there's-- again, no disqualifications,
simply means that all these elements are legal.
[Jerry] Elements? They got some fine-looking trash can lids over here.
Come to a little point.
[Ross] Everything but the kitchen sink.
And Steven Richards is trying to throw the legal weapons in this environment
out of the ring. He doesn't want them to--
[Jerry] Oh, he missed-- he missed this!
Oh!
[Ross] Wow.
[Jerry] That was a serving tray from-- set of sterling silver.
-[Ross] Wait. That was sterling silver? -[Jerry] It used to be.
[Ross] Steven Richards got a knot on his head.
Sterling silver knot!
And, man, oh, Booker T, he has beaten Steven Richards.
Is Booker T like a government mule here tonight.
[Jerry] They didn't have government mules here in the United Kingdom.
[Ross] Well, they have them back in Oklahoma.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
How did that feel?
[Ross] Now, again, all this is legal.
All these guys who sign for these Hardcore matches,
-they know that they're in for the-- -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] …maybe the last match they'll ever have in this environment
because you never know what you're gonna get hit with and--
[Jerry] Oh, no.
He's getting the broom out.
[Ross] Booker T gonna clean things up.
[Jerry] You know you're gonna get hit with the broom when you're in these matches.
[Ross] It's like getting beat up by a very angry janitor.
[Jerry laughs]
[Ross] And Booker T now, obviously, in firm control of this match.
And Steven Richards who just won the Hardcore title
-last week on Raw-- -[Jerry] Screaming out in pain
at the top of lungs. Ow.
[Ross] He may be a short-lived champion.
[Jerry] Listen to these chops.
[Ross] Richards, I'll say this, has gotten himself in the best shape
he's ever been in.
He seems to be more focused.
Because he can be a little goofy, if you know what I mean, King.
[Jerry] Yeah.
As a matter of fact, he's bloody crackers.
[Ross] Booker T-- wait a minute. Here we go.
-Bloody crackers? -[Jerry] Yeah.
Did you hear me say? He's bloody crackers. Come on. Try to stay with me, J.R.
[Ross] I had some blood pudding this morning.
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] Oh, it's good.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Nice suplex by Booker T again,
taking it right to Steven Richards.
Where's Bubba going-- or Booker T going?
I got Bubba Dudley on my mind.
And--
[Jerry] Don't bother thinking about Bubba. He's not here.
[Ross] I know he's not.
[Jerry] Booker T is thinking about taking the trash out.
[Ross] Steven Richards is not here mentally right now.
He just got his brains knocked to Cardiff.
[Jerry] Knocked what?
Oh.
[Ross] Booker T, what a straight shot that was.
Hey, folks, that could be all.
We could have a new Hardcore Champion, and we almost did there.
Booker T is in the driver seat.
[Jerry] Ow.
[Ross] And here, that is on the right side of the vehicle.
Steven Richards is not gonna beat Booker T with those chops.
[Jerry] Well, but they're pretty impressive.
[Ross] They are impressive.
Booker T reverses the whip far side.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Oh, flapjacked him.
Steven Richards is a challenger for Richards' newly won Hardcore title.
[Jerry] I got a feeling, J.R. I feel it deep down the pit of my stomach.
We may be seeing a Spinaroonie soon.
I love the Spinaroonie, don't you?
[Ross] Oh, I just-- I dearly do.
I'm so fond of it.
-[Jerry] Well, I think you're-- -[Ross] Downstairs.
[Jerry] I think you'll get to see one here soon.
[Ross] Oh, that was a low blow.
And, again, you can do anything in these matches and not get disqualified.
Low blows as legal as a headlock in this environment.
-So is getting hit in the head with these… -[Jerry] Sterling silver.
Man.
[Ross] Man, that shot just turned Booker T's lights out, I thought.
But they may have been dimmed, those lights, but they're not turned off.
[Jerry] Oh, look at the look on-- look at the look on Booker T's face.
[Ross] I can't-- he's probably thinking,
"I can't believe you just hit me with that plate pan again."
[Jerry] I know you didn't do that.
[Ross] Nice high back body drop, Booker T back in control.
[Jerry] Come on, Booker T.
[Ross] Steven Richards has been hard-pressed to get out
of the gates here, as he elevates Booker T over the top.
The Hardcore Champion buys himself a little time.
Creates a little distance there.
Again, Booker T cannot be counted out.
And Steven Richards stays in the ring and just--
[Jerry] Oh. Oh, man.
[Ross] He just hammers Booker T with that trash can.
And this is legal here.
Falls count anywhere.
Two.
[Ross] That was a count downtown.
-Hey, look, kids. Big Ben. -[Jerry] Yeah.
Oh, watch it.
[Ross] Booker T tossed back inside.
Steven Richards may be able to put this thing away here.
With another high-impact blow to the head.
He's done about two or three of them here in the last minute or so.
[Jerry] Oh, now, look at him.
He's a bit of a merchant banker.
[Ross] I don't know what that means either.
Steven Richards, I know, was mocking Booker T, staring at his hand.
And Booker T now fighting right back in this thing.
Booker T in great shape as well.
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Ross] That stutter step by Richards…
[Jerry] That cost him.
[Ross] …threw off Booker T's timing and Booker T finds himself-- oh, man.
-Hung up. -[Jerry] The crown jewels are damaged.
[Ross] There were dangling participles right there it looked to me like.
And Richards got another shot to the back.
And Booker T now gotta recuperate from,
I'm sure, two or three places on his body that are hurting right now.
Richards looking for a pin again.
Gotta get out of here with his title. We got a near-fall.
No doubt Booker T, a former five-time WCW Champion,
wants some WWE gold
and the Hardcore title is the place he's starting tonight.
[Jerry] Five times, J.R. Five-time WCW Champion.
[crowd chanting] Booker T! Booker T!
[Ross] Crowd chanting Booker T.
Do you think Booker T resembles Lennox Lewis?
[Jerry] No.
-[Ross] Long, lanky, strong. -[Jerry] Not in the slightest.
[Jerry] But Jazz did resemble Mike Tyson.
You were right about that.
[Ross] Richards got him grounded, and Richards here, talking.
[Jerry] I mean, Lennox Lewis is great and everything,
but he's not been five-time champion.
He hadn't won five times, J.R.
-Yeah. -[referee] I know.
[Ross] Uh-oh. Looks like his lip has been busted open in this Hardcore matchup.
[Jerry] That's a-- that's a good thing if that's-- if that's--
-[Ross] That's it. -[Jerry] Right.
[Ross] To tell you, these guys have hammered each other.
This is the longest that Steven Richards had been able to sustain
an offensive advantage since the get-go of this match.
Booker T trying to fight back up and he has.
What has Booker T have left in his tank?
[Jerry] Uh-oh. He's about to show you, sucka.
[Ross] Booker T jerking Richards up
and slamming him down.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] And Richards, very resourceful move, got the dropkick.
-Pressed in the face and a near-fall. -Two!
[Jerry] Steven Richards had been pretty impressive in this match.
I'm actually surprised.
[Ross] Now what? I was somewhat skeptical what kind of Hardcore Champion
Richards was gonna make, the way he won the championship, but--
[Jerry] Well, he's working hard on that, whatever he's gonna do.
[Ross] He never worked in a hardware store, that's for sure.
And-- uh-oh, look out.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Oh, sternum first.
Booker T reversed Richards, which Richards certainly did not want,
and it was Richards whose anatomy went sailing into the trash can.
Richards backhanding Booker T.
I don't think Richards is gonna win this one.
A fistfight is what I'm referring to.
Well, Booker T has got those big strong hands and-- oh,
great athletic move by Booker T, taking down Steven Richards.
Richards now sent for the ride.
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Ross] A spinebuster.
A spinebuster. Will it be all?
That-- oh, Booker T got a-- he got a real, real close near-fall there.
Less than a half a count, King.
[Jerry] You know, I got a feeling a wrestling match has broken out here.
We came to see hardcore and--
-[Ross] First, it was a spine of a kind. -[Jerry] Wait a minute. Here we go.
Spinaroonie. Spinaroonie, J.R.
Spinaroonie alert. Hey, man, where are you going?
[Ross] Don't get your knickers in a wad.
[Jerry] Knickers?
He's leaving.
[Ross] What is Booker T thinking here?
Look, he might be giving Steven Richards a little bit more time.
[Jerry] It looks like he fancies a bevy.
[Ross] I mean, Richards just-- what did you say?
[Jerry] Steven looks like he fancies a bevy.
A bevy, J.R.
[Ross] Richards hands-- what the hell is that?
-You don't have a clue. -[Jerry] Never mind. Never mind.
[Ross] And-- oh, look out. Whoa, from the top.
[Jerry] He kicked his head off.
[Ross] A big martial arts kick to the trash can, to the face.
-Oh, my good-- hey. -[Jerry] How resilient is Richards?
[Ross] I'm telling you, that's pretty impressive
for Richards to be able to kick out of that.
-That was a hell of a move by Booker T. -[Jerry] Okay.
Here-- I'm gonna say it here. Look at the hand.
How many times--
[Ross] Booker T, downstairs.
-Richards-- -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Ross] The Steven Kick.
That may be the knockout punch.
We're looking at the shoulders as Booker T able to kick out Richards.
[Jerry] Man, that-- just that extra second of Booker T's shoulder
not being all the way down saved him.
-I think Richards would've had him. -[Ross] That's a good point.
Richards may have got a bad break there.
Book End.
Richards folded up like an accordion.
-It's over. -[bell ringing]
[Ross] Booker T is the Hardcore Champion.
[Jerry] What a match.
[Howard] The winner of this bout
and new Hardcore Champion, Booker T.
[Ross] Booker T is the new Hardcore Champ
[Jerry] Hey, hey, wait a minute. Booker T, look out.
[Ross] There's Crash. Crash Holly with a referee.
[bell ringing]
[Jerry] What?
[Ross] I don't believe it. That damn little Crash Holly…
-[Jerry] Look at Crash. -[Ross] …is the Hardcore Champion.
[Jerry] That little pillock.
-Oh. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] And Booker T with a scissors kick.
-[bell ringing] -[Ross] And Booker T has got it back.
["Can You Dig It Sucka?" playing]
[Jerry] We've seen how many title changes here in a matter of seconds.
[Ross] Booker T is champion after all.
[Jerry] Hey, wait a minute. J.R., look at this.
[Ross] Wait a minute. There's Justin Credible and Tommy Dreamer.
Justin Credible and Tommy Dreamer,
they want the Hardcore title as well.
[Jerry] Everybody wants this Hardcore title.
-And, you know, these guys have been-- -[Ross] Oh, wait a minute.
[Jerry] These guys are used to being hardcore.
[Ross] This title on the line 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
The most unique championship in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Jerry] In other words, this could never be over?
[Ross] Well,
sometimes you'd think that, one continuous match.
[Jerry] Did anybody say get the tables?
[Ross] And Bubba not here.
But his table is still--
the spirit of Bubba Ray Dudley is here tonight.
-[Jerry] Now, look at Booker T. -[Ross] And now--
Booker T, the Hardcore Champion,
now facing Justin Credible.
Justin Credible almost beheading Tommy Dreamer.
[crowd chatter]
["Can You Dig It Sucka?" playing]
[Jerry] You're still the champ?
[Ross] Booker T. The dust has settled.
Booker T has prevailed.
Booker T has done it, ladies and gentlemen,
-live here tonight in London. -[Jerry] Okay.
Okay, sucka. Here it comes.
Give it to him, Book.
Give it up.
They paid their money to see it here on United Kingdom. There it is.
[laughs]
[Ross] Booker T's so-- he's so beaten down, King.
He could hardly complete the Spinaroonie.
-He gave it all he had. -[Jerry] That's okay.
[Ross] But Booker T is gonna-- wait a minute.
-There's Jazz. -[Jerry] Jazz?
[Ross] Jazz with a low blow.
-[Jerry] Oh, right-- -[Ross] Oh, my God.
Booker T's head snapping off that table but did not break.
-And Steven Richards-- -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] I don't believe it.
-Two. -[Ross] Oh, he didn't get it.
Steven Richards got a near-fall.
Come on, Booker, here.
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[Ross] Oh.
Well, Steven Richards just--
Booker T's body exploding that table.
-[bell ringing] -[Ross] And Richards wins this match.
-[Jerry] Look at Jazz. -[Ross] He wins the Hardcore title back.
["I'll Show You" playing]
[Howard] The winner of this bout
and new Hardcore Champion,
Steven Richards.
[Ross] I got a feeling that Steven Richards and Jazz
are gonna be leaving for the States early tonight.
They better get the hell out of here.
[Jerry] Let's check this out one more time.
I didn't-- I didn't realize.
I was concentrating on the Spinaroonie,
and then look at Jazz coming in here with this--
-oh, low blow. -[Ross] Man.
And Jazz did the damage.
Not one but two drops in the table and this one right here…
just cost Booker T the Hardcore Championship.
[bell ringing]
[Ross] Steven Richards began the match as the champion.
The belt changed hands on several occasions
due to the 24/7 rule.
And then thanks to Jazz, Richards leaves with the Hardcore title.
The question is, will he leave United Kingdom
with the Hardcore title?
[Jerry] What a wicked match or matches.
How many matches did we see there?
[Ross] I tell you what, folks, you gotta give it up for Booker T.
A hell of an athlete.
He was on top of his game here tonight.
He beat Richards.
He beat Crash Holly.
He disposed of Tommy Dreamer and Justin Credible.
But that low blow from Jazz did Booker T down and under.
["Can You Dig It Sucka?" playing]
[Jerry] It's all right.
There'll be another day, sucka.
[Ross] Oh, there's no doubt about that.
Booker T is a championship-caliber contender.
And that's-- and that depends on any title he wants to go for.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, a rather unique tag team
and the man from Planet Stasiak, Shawn Stasiak,
and the undefeated Brock Lesnar.
They will meet The Hardys.
And this whole thing really kicked off at Backlash
when Lesnar faced Jeff Hardy in Brock's first pay-per-view match.
[dramatic music playing]
[Jerry] Paul Heyman is a--
he's a legend in his own mouth.
But I'm afraid that this time, he's really got something.
I'm afraid he really does have The Next Big Thing here.
[Ross] This is Brock Lesnar's first official televised match.
-And now Jeff Hardy. -[Jerry] Wait a minute.
[Ross] He's looking to-- for some retribution for his brother.
And Lesnar just overpowered Jeff Hardy.
Brock Lesnar is an animal.
We've seen two powerbombs
and Lesnar even getting more momentum,
drilling Jeff Hardy, and Lesnar likes it.
-[bell ringing] -[Ross] And the referee stopping it.
First, it was Matt Hardy who's home recuperating from a Lesnar attack.
And now it is Jeff Hardy.
There's nothing anybody can do as it relates to Brock Lesnar.
Matt Hardy, who's not 100%,
going against the best wishes of everybody close to him,
is here to compete tonight with that monster.
-[Jerry] Hey, look. Look at this. -[Ross] Oh, wait. Matt Hardy.
[Jerry] Hey, where did he come from?
[Ross] Matt Hardy, I think, came through the crowd.
This is a really biased situation tonight.
-[Jerry] There he goes. -[Ross] Oh.
More high impact.
This is a career-killing machine, this Brock Lesnar.
[bell ringing]
[Ross] And the referee is stopping this match.
Matt Hardy cannot defend himself.
He cannot continue.
Matt Hardy has been knocked out at the hands of Brock Lesnar.
Can anyone stop Brock Lesnar?
[music fades]
[crowd cheering]
Sit down, Shawn.
Please, Shawn, just sit down.
I can't sit. I can't sit. I'm too excited.
Planet Stasiak, with Brock Lesnar as a team?
We'll be unstoppable.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Can you hear it?
Can you hear the voices? They're talking to me.
No, no, no. Shawn,
I'm talking to you.
Listen. Listen.
Let's talk a little strategy here, okay?
Try this one for size.
You stand on the apron.
Brock starts the match.
Brock finishes the match.
You never even have to tag in.
It's an easy night for Shawn Stasiak.
[laughs]
That's a good one.
I thought you were serious for a minute.
I am serious, Shawn.
Listen to me.
I'm gonna say this so that even you can understand it.
We didn't want this to be a tag team match.
The Hardys signed for a tag team match at Insurrextion, okay?
Brock wants to get his hands on The Hardys.
So we picked you
because we figured you'd be able to figure out
just to stand on the apron,
stay out of the ring,
do yourself a favor
and stay on Planet Stasiak.
You better do what Paul tells you to do,
because if you don't,
the beating I gave to you on Raw
will be like a walk in the park
compared to what I do to you tonight.
Oh, okay. Sure.
No problem.
["Loaded" playing]
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Wow.
[Ross] Man, that was an interesting pre-match conference.
And listen to this ovation
for one of the most fabulous tag teams
in all the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first from Cameron, North Carolina,
at a combined weight of 441 pounds,
Matt, Jeff, The Hardy Boyz.
[Ross] You know, King, all the fans are aware that Lita was injured
in filming the American TV show Dark Angel a few weeks ago.
Lita suffered a broken neck in three places
filming that television show, doing her own stunts.
Lita had surgery back in the States on Tuesday
and the doctor is estimating that Lita will be out of action
for up to nine months.
[Jerry] Wow.
So why is she not here tonight?
[Ross] She had surgery on her broken neck Tuesday.
She can't come back for nine months.
[Jerry] J.R., that was Tuesday.
She can still walk, can't she?
The least she can do is show up here.
["Enforcer" playing]
[Jerry] Man, I'm a little disappointed.
[Howard] Accompanied to the ring by Paul Heyman,
at a combined weight of 536 pounds,
Brock Lesnar…
-Brock Lesnar, the-- -[Howard] …and Shawn Stasiak.
[Ross] The team with Shawn Stasiak. And Stasiak--
well, they made his instructions pretty simple, didn't they?
[Jerry] Well, you just started talking before they even announced Shawn Stasiak.
You think he's not gonna be a part of this match as well?
[Ross] I thought he was gonna stand on the apron.
I thought that's what he said. It's not a handicap match.
[Jerry] Well, that's what Paul Heyman told him to do.
[Ross] In any event, tag team match in here.
-Brock Lesnar is a bona fide animal -[Jerry] Hey, hey, hey. Look at this.
-Look at this. -[Ross] And…
what the hell is Stasiak--
[Jerry] He's starting the match, J.R.
-[bell ringing] -[Ross] Stasiak is starting the match.
That is not the instructions that Paul Heyman,
Brock Lesnar's agent, gave Stasiak…
-[Jerry] Oh, my God. -[Ross] …along with that threat
that Lesnar certainly posed to Stasiak.
But right now the former amateur from Boise State.
[Jerry] He's craziac. Look at him.
[Ross] He's a craziac, all right.
[Jerry] You know what? I figured out Planet Stasiak
is obviously the insane asylum of the universe. Look at him.
[Ross] I think you're right about that.
But Stasiak is a tremendous athlete.
He's in the-- and you can see him, awesome condition.
Young and strong and quick.
He's got a great amateur background.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] He just has a little screw
or two loose.
Sidewalk slam and Jeff Hardy getting punished
-with a high-impact maneuver. -[Heyman] What are you doing?
[Jerry] Boy, and if Stasiak beats one of these Hardys,
that is gonna really make Brock Lesnar hot or, more importantly, Paul Heyman hot.
Shawn, what are you doing?
[Ross] Oh, look.
[crowd chatter]
-[Ross] Heyman asking Stasiak -What are you doing?
-[Ross] "What are you doing?" -What are you doing?
[Jerry] He's doing what the voices in his head tell him to do.
[Ross] And Jeff Hardy trying to fight out of this predicament
and a jawbreaker on Stasiak.
[Jerry] Those damn voices, J.R. You hear 'em too sometimes, don't you?
[Ross] Not for a while.
[Jerry] I do what the voices in my pants tell me to do.
Look at this.
[Ross] Matt Hardy is tagged by his brother Jeff.
And Matt Hardy taking down
Shawn Stasiak.
And there's Brock Lesnar…
-[Jerry] I can-- -[Ross] He's a-- he's a bona fide monster.
[Jerry] I can hear Paul Heyman whining from way over here.
[Ross] And-- oh, Les-- Lesnar saving Stasiak.
And now Lesnar tags himself in the match.
Lesnar made the tag.
He made the save and he made the tag.
And look at Brock Lesnar absolutely engulfing
with his unrelenting power.
This is a-- I mean, a psychotic physical killer
is this man, Brock Lesnar.
[Heyman] Focus. Focus.
-[Ross] Now, Brock is looking at Stasiak… -[Heyman] Focus.
[Ross] …like he wants to execute him here at Insurrextion.
-And Paul Heyman-- -[Jerry] Stasiak is looking at the stars.
[Ross] Paul Heyman trying to get Lesnar back focused on Matt Hardy.
You don't wanna take your eye off the ball with The Hardys,
multiple-time WWE Tag Team Champions.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] We have seen and documented the issues
between both Matt and Jeff Hardy,
the young brothers from the state of North Carolina,
in the United States, and Brock Lesnar…
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] …and Lesnar--
Oh, look at this power,
just holding Matt Hardy.
First, the backbreaker,
then this whiplash slam is absolutely brutal.
Lesnar is nothing more than a brutal animal
who loves to hurt people.
[Jerry] Speaking of brutal, did you see his right ear?
And brutal, did you see Paul Heyman?
[Ross] If I were you, I wouldn't cross Paul Heyman, King.
-[Jerry] Huh? -[Ross] And Brock Lesnar hammering--
he had just beaten-- look at this.
This is-- this is scary.
-[Jerry] Yup. You're right. -[Ross] Watch this.
[Ross] I mean, Matt Hardy,
he could have better physical results in a car wreck.
And the referee has stopped matches
involving Lesnar and both Hardys in the past.
-[Jerry] Listen to Heyman. -[Heyman] Hurt him.
[Jerry] He's saying, "Hurt him. Hurt him."
[Ross] Heyman sees The Next Big Thing.
Heyman sees a hell of a meal ticket here.
-Boom, powerslam. -[Jerry] Wow.
[Ross] Agent Heyman has only got one client.
Now look at the cheap shot by Lesnar.
[Jerry] As long as-- as long as your client's The Next Big Thing,
you only need one client. Oh, now, look at Jeff Hardy trying to come in.
That's legal?
[Ross] Lesnar almost six feet four inches tall,
just under 300 rock-solid pounds.
[Jerry] You know, there's not a lot of Brock Lesnars
just lying there either waiting to be--
looking for agents.
You see that ear there, J.R.?
[Ross] I saw it. He got that in the amateurs.
Lesnar, ladies and gentlemen, back in the States
was the number one heavyweight amateur wrestler in the United States.
[Jerry] And did you hear what he did to the guy who gave him that ear?
-[Ross] No. -[Jerry] It wasn't a pretty sight.
Oh. Uh-uh. Wait. Oh. Oh.
[Ross] And look at Lesnar. Again, he is a brutal human being.
I mean, border-lining barbaric.
[Heyman] I bet that hurt, didn't it?
-[Jerry] Listen to Heyman. -[Heyman] I bet that hurt.
[Jerry] No, it didn't hurt. What do you wanna bet?
[Heyman] I bet that hurt.
[Ross] The man-- his mouth is so big, he has three lips.
And look at Lesnar. This is a scary human being.
[Jerry] Three lips?
[Heyman] He's all yours. You own him, Brock Lesnar.
[Ross] Lesnar also glaring at Stasiak again,
but he's refocused back on Matt Hardy.
And Matt Hardy is--
he is just getting tormented and tortured.
And look at this power.
How long could Brock Lesnar hold that vertical suplex?
-All the blood rushing to Matt's brain. -[Jerry] I'd say all night.
That's a-- that's a nauseating, dizzying feeling anyway.
And then you get suplexed right on your spine.
[Jerry] I think your brain can drown that way, can it?
All the blood rushing down and--
[Heyman] He fears you, Brock.
He fears you.
[Ross] Matt Hardy's career may be drowning.
It's certainly submerged.
[Jerry] It wouldn't take a lot of blood to drain his brain--
or drown his brain.
Easy for me to say.
[Ross] Look. I tell you, King,
I have never seen in my almost 30 years of doing this commentary--
oh, someone as physically dominating
at this stage of their game as Brock Lesnar,
and that covers a lot of ground.
-Nobody. -[Jerry] You know what I'm thinking?
Couple more moves like that and Matt may be joining Lita.
[Ross] And you may be right.
[Jerry] Oh, wow.
[Ross] Lesnar, well, he could tear apart a human,
but I don't think he's gonna tear apart a solid steel ring post.
And Stasiak…
[Jerry] You need the tag?
[Ross] Lesnar right into the ring post.
[Jerry] He's hearing voices saying, "Tag. Tag in."
-[Ross] Stasiak-- -[Jerry] There's a tag. Look at this.
[Ross] Stasiak hesitated to tag himself in.
-[Jerry] Planet Stasiak. -[Ross] Oh, no.
[Jerry] Planet Stasiak.
[Ross] And the tag made.
Jeff Hardy gets the tag.
[Jerry] He's out of orbit. Wait a minute. He's out of orbit.
[Ross] Stasiak and Jeff Hardy, the legal men.
Jeff Hardy picking up the pace here.
Hardy going downstairs on Shawn "Planet Stasiak".
-And look at Jeff. -[Jerry] Look out.
[Ross] Whisper in the Wind.
High-risk offense.
The risk-taker hits his move, hooks the leg,
and gets a near-fall.
[Jerry] Oh, my God.
[Ross] Gosh Almighty.
And now-- and both Hardys, Matt and Jeff Hardy,
the former tag team champions,
double-teaming Lesnar off the apron.
[Jerry] They knocked The Next Big Thing right off the ring.
Now what? Oh.
[Ross] Stasiak elevates Jeff Hardy to the outside.
Matt Hardy hits the Twist of Fate.
Jeff Hardy is the legal man.
-[Jerry] Oh, no. -[Ross] The daredevil hits the Swanton.
[Jerry] Wait a minute. Don't do it. No.
-[Ross] And The Hardys win it. -[bell ringing]
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Oh, no.
["Loaded" playing]
[Howard] Here are your winners--
[Ross] Oh, wait a minute.
Lesnar assaulting Jeff Hardy.
And Lesnar muscling up Matt Hardy.
My God Almighty.
Have you ever seen a human being like Brock Lesnar?
-[Jerry] Oh, no. Your own partner. -[Ross] And Lesnar,
a spinebuster on Stasiak,
Lesnar's own tag team partner.
[Jerry] You should have stayed in the corner, Shawn.
[Ross] This Lesnar is a sick, sadistic, barbaric human being.
Up!
[Ross] Oh, my God.
Stasiak is a huge man.
He's gotta be 265 or 270.
Getting handled like he was a cruiserweight.
["Enforcer" playing]
[Ross] Boy, I tell you what,
is there anybody--
is there anybody, one-on-one,
in the World Wrestling Entertainment
that can match up, King, with Brock Lesnar?
[Jerry] I wonder if there's anybody in the world, J.R. Look at that.
[Ross] The most physical--
intense physical specimen I've ever seen.
-[Jerry] Look at the carnage. -[Ross] Three men have been laid out.
Two of them, five-time tag team champions
and a hell of a young athlete in Shawn Stasiak.
[Jerry] I think the voices are still talking to Planet Stasiak.
I just don't know if he's hearing them right now.
["Enforcer" continue playing]
[Ross] Man, I'll tell you what,
Lesnar almost separated his shoulder in the ring post.
Stasiak tagged himself in.
[Jerry] This is back-- this is back when The Hardys were still walking.
The big Swanton Bomb and then…
-[bell ringing] -[Jerry] …the win for Matt and Jeff.
[Ross] Both Hardys laid out.
And then Stasiak.
[Jerry] Laid out.
[Ross] Lesnar's own tag team partner.
Man, I'll tell you what,
this man is a brutal, barbaric monster.
Ladies and gentlemen, we had a great time last night here in London
at the Eve of Insurrextion Charity Dinner.
Some wonderful people opened their hearts and their wallets.
[rock music playing]
[auctioneer] Two thousand. Going once.
Going twice.
Sold to you, sir. 2,000 pounds.
-Thank you very much indeed. -[applause]
Here we are again on the Eve of Insurrextion in the UK
for our second annual Make-A-Wish Foundation Dinner.
We're gonna have about 300 people here tonight.
Some of our sponsors, some of our licensees, some friends.
We're gonna raise a lot of money for Make-A-Wish.
Such a great organization around the world.
Sold to you, sir, madam, 1,500 pounds.
Hopefully, we will raise an incredible amount of money
for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which is so-- does such great stuff.
And we always love working with them.
Table ten, there is no pressure at all
-but the whole world is looking at you. -Table ten has to represent.
That's where I come from. Come on.
You can do-- there you go, 1,250.
We hope to surpass last year's total of over 50,000 pounds.
That makes for a fun night but a worthy night as well.
[auctioneer] Fourteen now, table 33, a wonderful cause.
Once. Twice. Sold to you, sir.
Thank you very, very much indeed.
[cheers and applause]
You know, King, that gentleman from THQ paid over 14,000 pounds
-for a WrestleMania package. -Wow.
Next year we don't know where WrestleMania is gonna be,
but we wanna thank all the great folks
for helping make a lot of kids' wishes come true.
How much did that eight-by-ten gloss I autographed go for?
I think-- I think about--
Please tell me it sold.
Well, I-- okay.
I bought it.
I'm a true friend, right?
-Yeah. -Coach, all yours.
William Regal…
[crowd cheering]
William Regal, tonight, you have the rare opportunity
to win back the European title.
You take on Spike Dudley here in your home country.
You know, Coach,
I'm the kind of person that made this country great.
I'm one of the truly Great Britains.
Someone with fighting spirit.
Someone with pride and dignity.
Someone who's achieved his dreams, has gone out and conquered.
But then I look around at all of the people here in England
and it disgusts me.
I see a bunch of underachieving dosses with their divvy children
who have no hope and no future,
and it's no wonder that they look to me to bring them greatness.
[crowd jeering]
That's why I'm so pleased
that I can wrestle Spike Dudley,
that miserable, foul, disgusting little shy-talk
right here in London.
And I can bring back the European Championship
and put it around my waist
to give these people a little ray of sunshine
into their miserable lives.
You know, sometimes these people just make me ashamed to be British.
[Ross] Wow.
What an unkind thing to say about your own country.
[Jerry] Well, I've met a few Brits over here that he should be ashamed of.
["Ollie Stalefish" playing]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following contest, scheduled for one fall,
is for the World Wrestling Entertainment European Championship.
Introducing first, weighing 150 pounds,
the European Champion, Spike Dudley.
[Jerry] I'm begging Howard Finkel to learn how to use the microphone.
What's wrong with him?
[Ross] Well, Spike Dudley, ladies and gentlemen,
became the European Champion last month on Raw
when Spike literally outsmarted William Regal.
Regal had two pair of brass knucks.
He hid one pair in that turnbuckle you see there.
[Jerry] He wasn't hiding it. The referee told him to get rid of foreign objects.
[Ross] Oh, he had two pairs of brass knucks.
-Spike knew where they were. Watch this. -[Jerry] Boom.
[Ross] Regal's brass knucks used on him as Spike Dudley knocking out Regal.
So Spike Dudley wins the heart-- the European title by knockout.
[Jerry] How could Spike Dudley be proud of that victory?
["Regality" playing]
[Jerry] He's like one of those Brits that Mr. Regal was referring to.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
[Howard] The challenger,
from Blackpool, England,
weighing 240 pounds,
William Regal.
[Ross] Regal, a very arrogant man.
Not really popular here in the United Kingdom
and I'm sure in the Republic of Ireland as well.
[Jerry] Wait a minute.
What are you talking about not very popular?
He's revered. He's worshipped here.
I mean, especially after he wins the title again.
He was besmirched. He was embarrassed.
When he wins this title, brings it once again home to Europe,
oh, man.
[Ross] Well, in any event,
I'd like to say hello to our fans again in Australia.
Thank you for joining us tonight for Insurrextion,
and remind our fans in Australia
the WWE will be there live
and that's why it's called the World Wrestling Entertainment.
Global Warning in Melbourne on August 10th.
And tickets for the Global Warning event in Melbourne, Australia,
as we are told, will go on sale on May 20th.
[Jerry] Look at this.
Spike Dudley representing all of your-- he's a--
-he's a little titchy, you know? -[bell ringing]
[Ross] What the hell does that mean?
-[Jerry] Titchy? -[Ross] Titchy. You can't even spell it.
[Jerry] T-I-T-C-H-Y.
[Ross] Oh, that's very good.
[Jerry] That means he's rather small…
-[Ross] Yes. -…diminutive.
[Ross] Has some woman used that term on you in your travels over here?
[Jerry] What are you talking about?
-[Ross] Button-lipped Jerry Lawler. -[Jerry] Are you kidding me?
[Ross] And there's a knockdown by William Regal.
And Regal is such a-- what a unique competitor.
We talked about Regal's background.
At the age of 15, growing up in Blackpool, England
when he-- getting involved in bare-knuckle fighting,
taking on all comers as a 15-year-old boy fighting men.
He has become a hardened world traveler
and has really not a lot of regard for his home country,
which I find somewhat, well, alarming.
[Jerry] Well, I don't even see how you can say that.
That's all he ever talks about is the United Kingdom.
Look at him. Look at how he carries himself in the ring.
True champion.
[Ross] I think he's got a little Boy George in him.
That arrogant swagger, you know?
[Jerry] When you look at him, he's almost regal.
He's like-- well, he is regal.
-[Ross] Or so he says. -[Jerry] He's almost royal.
[Ross] And look at Spike Dudley.
All 150 pounds of Spike Dudley fighting back against William Regal
and Regal not without his fans here tonight.
I will give him that.
-[Jerry] I bet if-- -[Ross] Oh, look at Spike.
Spike Dudley outquicking William Regal.
-Dropkicks. -[Jerry] Okay. Ease up.
[Ross] Very good succession. And Regal begging off,
doesn't want the pace to be this quick as-- quick one.
Spike downstairs, the headbutt.
[Jerry] Come on, William. Show him the Power of the Punch.
Look at this.
-He's throwing away. -[Ross] Uh-oh. Wait a minute.
[Jerry] What?
[Ross] Look at-- I think he hurt his ankle.
I think Spike hurt his ankle there.
-[speaks indistinctly] -[Jerry] Well, good for him.
[Ross] I think Spike said something to the referee, I couldn't make it out.
I hope Spike didn't break that ankle.
He's rolled it, it looked like.
You know, sometimes a bad sprain is even worse than a break.
[Jerry] I think the ref just called for some help.
It's a little broke--
[referee] We need a trainer. We need a trainer.
[Ross] I think the referee said, "We need a trainer down here."
This match, as far as I know, the bell has not sounded.
So I am assuming that this match is not gonna stop.
[Jerry] Well, take his boot off and see if it swells.
Then you can tell if it's broke if it starts swelling up right away.
-Let's watch this again. -[Ross] We'll have a look.
[Jerry] Watch his right foot.
[Ross] Spike going for the Dudley Dog. Got countered.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] And there you see it right there.
[trainer] What happened?
[Ross] Spike's knee unstable, but that ankle really rolled.
And there's our trainer.
Just relax.
[Jerry] Well, look at that trainer's hair.
He's going a bit bare, he needs a serum.
Okay? Just relax.
[Ross] Well, the-- I don't know what the hell King said,
but in any event, I know what the trainer is doing.
He is just cutting up those shoelaces off to check out Spike's ankle.
-[Ross] This is-- -[screams in pain]
[Jerry] This boot will never be any use.
-[Ross] Spike in a… -Where's your pain at?
-[Spike] It's right there. -[Ross] …certain degree of pain.
-[trainer] Right here? -Yes.
-[Jerry] His ankle? -[trainer] Okay. All right. That's it.
We're gonna have to take you back to the back, okay?
Okay?
[Ross] Well, the trainer…
[Jerry] That sounded pretty official, didn't it?
They're gonna have to take him back to the back?
Is that what they call hospitals here in the United Kingdom?
[Ross] That's where his training room is, it's in back of the arena.
[Jerry] At least he's got on clean socks.
[Ross] Well, this is a--
[Jerry] If you're in an accident like this,
you gotta have on clean socks and clean underwear.
[Ross] That's what my momma told me, God bless her.
And Spike Dudley being helped out of here.
I think in the chaos,
the referee has not stopped this match which is-- I don't think the match is--
Oh, come on. I'll be damned.
[Jerry] Oh, no, wait a minute, his foot's broken.
[Ross] And William Regal, what is he thinking about?
[Jerry] Oh, my God. Well, you'd think--
[Ross] Well, Spike Dudley may have a broken ankle
and Regal now taking advantage.
[Jerry] Whoa, it may be a compound fracture…
-[Ross] And I'm telling you-- -…when Regal gets through with it.
[Ross] Spike's heart reflects the European title.
[Jerry] That Spike, that little pillock,
he should've given up. What the-- yeah, it's broken.
[Ross] He's-- I think he was-- I think he was trying, King.
[Jerry] You think he was crying? Now, of course, he's crying.
-[Ross] Trying, damn it. -[Jerry] Oh.
-Look at that. -[Ross] That was premeditated there.
[Jerry] No, it was an accident. That could happen to anybody.
[Ross] The bizarreness of these officials these days
-[Jerry] Purely an accident. -Please, William.
[Jerry] Too close to the ropes. Oh!
[Ross] Why the hell is this referee letting this match continue
is what I wanna know.
[Jerry] He should. This is important. European title.
-[crowd counts] -[Ross] It's over now.
I'll be damned. Now, see--
[Jerry] See, now-- no, he doesn't wanna shortchange his countrymen.
These people have paid a lot good pounds over here
to see their fellow countryman, William Regal, win the European title.
[Ross] Well, it looks that's what-- wait minute.
Spike Dudley, inside cradle, inside cradle.
-[bell ringing] -[Jerry] What in the world?
[Ross] And Spike beats Regal.
Spike retains the European title.
[Jerry] With a broken ankle.
-Uh-oh. -[Ross] Oh, wait a minute.
Regal's loaded up those brass knucks.
[Jerry] Spike's about to have a broken jaw.
[Ross] On that left hand.
-[Jerry] Power of the Punch coming up. -[Ross] Get out of there Spike!
And Regal with a cheap shot on a crippled Spike Dudley.
[crowd booing]
[Ross] Regal's so arrogant,
so overconfident, so conceited,
he thought the European title was his for the taking.
We thought the match was over.
[Jerry] I think the trainer went back to the back by himself.
[overlapping chatter]
[Ross] I think this match should've been stopped,
at least, I thought that,
and I quite frankly still think it should have been stopped.
Spike Dudley able to get that inside cradle in a very--
I mean, William Regal had it on cruise control.
[Jerry] Give us a royal wave one time.
Well, did you see the Power of the Punch come into play?
[Ross] Sure, the brass knucks.
[Jerry] Okay. Wait a minute. This is before the injured ankle happened.
Watch his right leg again, right ankle.
Okay. Ooh, there it goes right there.
[Ross] That hurts me to look at that.
[Jerry] And then, that was-- well, Regal--
well, maybe he was actually trying to set it straight.
[Ross] And this was after the trainer came out.
This was after the trainer said we gotta take him back to the trainer's room.
-[Jerry] And there is the royal wave. -[Ross] Oh, goody.
[Jerry] He didn't say back to the trainer's room,
he said back to the back. Look at this. Now, I can't believe with that injured leg
-he was able to do that. -[bell ringing]
[Ross] A lot of guts on "Little" Spike Dudley.
Brass knucks.
[Jerry] Boom, Power of the Punch.
[Ross] A cheap shot from a cheap shot artist.
[Jerry] Well, the people of England can be proud of their countryman.
That was like a moral victory I would say.
[Ross] What do you know about morals?
That is not fair.
Spike Dudley on one-- I hope Spike's ankle is not broken.
[Jerry] Well, Spike is still a pillock.
-[Ross] All right, you toe rag. -[Jerry] Hey!
[Ross] Well, ladies and gentlemen, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
has been the eye of the storm since Backlash
from two separate sources.
One, Raw owner Ric Flair,
and the other, the nWo.
[Ric] Last night at Backlash,
as a special guest referee,
I made a mistake.
It looks like I saw Austin's foot on the rope
and still counted him out.
That wasn't the case.
[Ross] Well, this is the angle that Flair saw.
Flair couldn't see through The Undertaker's body.
[Ric] From the bottom of my heart,
Stone Cold, I apologize.
[Stone Cold] Look at me.
[crowd] What?
I said look at me, you son of a bitch.
[crowd cheering]
[Stone Cold] When you screwed Stone Cold…
-[crowd] What? -…you made the single…
-[crowd] What? -…biggest…
-[crowd] What? -…mistake…
-[crowd] What? -…of your life.
[crowd] What?
[Ric] I don't blame you for feeling the way you feel,
but in one night, I can make it all right.
I'm gonna take that other badass Texan, Bradshaw,
make him your partner versus the nWo.
There he is, here he is.
[man 1] He's not moving.
[man 2] He's unconscious. He's not responding to us.
That means X-Pac and Hall against Austin all by himself, right?
Now, it's gonna be nWo
against Stone Cold and the Big Show.
[Ross] The Big Show gets the tag and here he comes.
-[Jerry] Oh, no. -[Ross] Wait a minute.
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] What the hell?
What the hell is this?
[tense music playing]
[Ross] My God, has the Big Show joined the nWo?
Can you imagine what this means?
[music fades]
Well, King, I'll tell you what, Stone Cold on Raw
wanted the Big Show
but Raw owner Ric Flair had sent the Big Show
on a promotional tour of India.
Yeah. I realize that but I just don't know how much Stone Cold really--
is he in his right mind? How can anybody want the Big Show?
-["Also Sprach Zarathustra" playing] -Wait a minute.
The hell is this?
-What is this, is right. -Oh, look at this.
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] It's Raw owner Ric Flair.
And, King, my God, he's got a referee shirt on.
[Jerry] What is he doing? Oh, no.
Doesn't he realize--
[Ross] I-- and I've given--
-[Jerry] I mean… -[Ross] Ric Flair's a legend,
he's a Hall of Famer,
but I know referees.
-[Jerry] Right. -[Ross] And Ric Flair ain't no referee.
[Jerry] He doesn't realize--
[Ross] His heart's in the right place and--
but he's out of his element, shall we say.
[Jerry] Yeah. But you're the one that said,
and he's practicing what you're preaching,
since he's the owner of Raw, he could do any damn thing he wants to.
You said that, J.R.
[Ross] Well, he can.
We're getting a great ovation here in London.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] He's a hell of an owner, I think.
[Jerry] Not as good as Mr. McMahon.
[Ross mocking Jerry] Not as good as Mr. McMahon.
Thank you for being the tremendous audience
we knew you would be.
[crowd cheering]
[Ric] And that's why we like coming to London.
And coming up next is a wrestler
that I consider to be the man…
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[crowd cheering]
And tonight, to make sure
that nobody interferes in his match against the Big Show
and I'm talking about the nWo,
talking about Scott Hall…
-[crowd] What? -I'm talking about X-Pac.
[crowd] What?
I'm gonna make myself
special guest referee number two.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] What?
-Number two? -Two referees,
Mr. Patrick in the ring,
Ric Flair outside.
-[Ross] Oh, I think that's-- -[Ric] Stone Cold,
come on out here and kick some ass, buddy.
[Jerry] Well, he's right.
He's the number two referee no matter what, but--
-["Big" playing] -♪ Well, well, it's the Big Show ♪
["Rockhouse" playing]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, representing the nWo,
weighing 500 pounds, the Big Show.
[Ross] Man, this is a monster.
In all the annals of all the competition
here in the United Kingdom, The Giant Haystacks,
all those huge men, this is the biggest of them all.
Well over seven feet tall.
I think more than 500 pounds,
is the newest member of the nWo.
[Jerry] And they can't even find a shirt that would even come close to fitting him.
They just have to cut the sides out of one.
[Ross] He's been in intense heat in India
living on a diet of spicy curry.
What kind of mood do you think he's gonna be in?
The Big Show is a huge mountain of a human being.
[Jerry] He'll be in a foul mood.
Austin can't wait. This is gonna be ugly.
[Jerry] He's now an official member of nWo. Uh-oh.
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
[Howard] From Victoria, Texas,
weighing 252 pounds,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Jerry] There are some hell raisers in the house.
"The Texas Rattlesnake,"
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
has this sold out capacity crowd in London on their feet.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Austin assaulted by the Big Show
when the Big Show was supposed to be Stone Cold's tag team partner.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] And Austin doesn't forgive or forget one damn thing.
[Jerry] Oh, how can anybody ever forget the Big Show?
You'd remember him before you would the Alamo.
-Oh, wait a minute. Where is Austin going? -[Ross] Oh, wait a minute.
[Jerry] Yeah, there's your number two referee.
[Ross] Austin and the owner of Raw, Ric Flair, have not--
well, he said they have not been communicating well.
[Jerry] He said Austin doesn't trust anybody and I think that includes--
that gives the impression that includes Ric Flair as well.
[Ross] I think you're absolutely correct on that.
And look at the Big Show.
Austin sizing up this mountainous individual
and Ric Flair on the outside,
Nick Patrick on the inside.
[Jerry] Well, this is not the way it's supposed to be, with Ric Flair.
You know, Austin's gotta be concerned about Flair being out there.
[Ross] I tell you what, Flair is at the best place he can be
and that's out of the ring, mind you.
[Jerry] Best place he could be would be in the back in the owner's office.
I mean, he needs to understand
putting on a referee shirt doesn't make you a referee
any more than standing in the garage makes you a car.
-[Ross] What? -[Jerry] What does he-- Huh?
Well, you know, it's the truth.
Flair puts on the referee shirt and all of a sudden,
he thinks he's an official out here, refereeing things.
[crowd chanting] Austin! Austin!
[Ross] Austin has a huge mountain to scale.
[Jerry] I think Austin is a little concerned here.
[Ross] And he should be.
[Jerry] Sure he should be.
I think he's afraid to lock up with the Big Show.
[Ross] Austin, six-two, 255.
-[crowd booing] -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] And, oh, the Big Show is not number one on Austin's book.
[Jerry] That's like spitting in the wind right there, J.R.
That's worse than tugging on Superman's cape.
-[Ross] Austin, 255. -[Jerry] Okay.
[Ross] He's half the size of the Big Show.
[Jerry] Look at Austin.
He threw that bird out there, but he ain't too anxious to fight into the Big Show.
[Ross] Collar-and-elbow tie up and the Big Show
-forcing Austin right into the corner. -[Nick] Knock it off, Big Show.
-Get out of the corner. -[Ross] And look at the size of Big Show,
almost engulfing the Texas Rattlesnake
and this crowd here in London,
as they are around the world.
[Jerry] See, Austin ain't used to this.
Austin's used to intimidating his opponent.
He's used to having opponents that fear him,
that know his strengths and his powers, his reputation.
Big Show don't care about Austin's reputation.
[Ross] Austin trying to get underneath the Big Show.
[Jerry] Look at this.
[Ross] And the Big Show again manhandling Austin
back in the corner and Austin is--
Austin is gotta try to figure out some sort of strategy whatever it may be…
-[Jerry] Yeah. -[Ross] …to take a newly invigorated,
new member of the nWo down, and Austin…
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Well, a little too late for that if you haven't worked out before now.
I mean, Big Show, let's face it. He's treating Austin like a little toy.
[Ross] Well, Austin with a little psychology of his own there
-doing those pushups. And this crowd… -[crowd chanting] What?
-…Oh, man, that was a foul. -[Jerry] Whoa!
The crowd trying to energize Austin with that little "What?" chant.
But right now Austin's thinking,
"What can I do to get the upper hand on the Big Show?"
[Ross] "What" is right.
And Austin's gotta figure out how to get the Big Show off the big man's feet.
[crowd chanting] Big fat bastard! Big fat bastard!
[Ross] Another collar-and-elbow tie up.
[Jerry] Austin using every bit of power he's got,
every bit of leverage and he still can't--
he can't budge the Big Show an inch.
[Ross] And Austin can use a lot of energy, a lot of strength…
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] …just in these lock-ups.
And Austin fighting back.
Austin, "To hell with it,
I just gotta hit you as hard as I can,
as many times as I can
and see where it takes me," and it takes Austin down.
Four or five hard shots with the right hand,
the Big Show then reverses Stone Cold…
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] …and knocks Austin down
-with that reverse elbow. -[Jerry] What?
What are you gonna do now, Austin? What?
I don't think Flair could believe his eyes.
Even you can't help Austin now, Flair.
-[crowd cheering] -…Three,
four…
[Ross] Referee is up to a five-count, he gets to ten, the match is over.
Austin's not gonna let that happen.
[Jerry] Yeah. That'd be the smartest thing he could do.
[Ross] Well, it might be.
-[Jerry] Or feign injury. -[crowd] Austin!
[Ross] Austin's not really good about feigning or walking away from a fight.
[Jerry] No, don't tell me he ain't gonna--
he ain't gonna match strength with the Big Show.
-[Ross] You never know what-- -[Jerry] Not the test of strength.
[Ross] You never know what Austin's gonna do
and he's now gonna go downstairs is what he's gonna do.
Stone Cold not gonna lock up and now Austin kicking those knees.
Austin trying to cut this big tree down.
[Jerry] I don't know if this is fair.
-[Ross] Big Show like a-- oh! -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Big Show like a giant oak tree, Austin trying to chop it down.
[Jerry] Those two legs are like redwoods, they didn't go down.
Austin did though, didn't he?
[Ross] He certainly did. Austin countered.
Big Show again enforcing his physical will on the Texas Rattlesnake.
[Jerry] You know what they call Austin what he's doing right now over here
in United Kingdom, he's gasping.
Gasping.
[Ross] And that means? I don't know.
[Jerry] Well, he's, uh, he's tired, he needs a few jars.
He's, uh-- looks like he fancies a bevy.
He could stand one of those Steveweisers right now. Oh!
-[Ross] A pint. -[Jerry] Oh, did you hear that?
[Ross] God Almighty. How big is this man's hand?
[Jerry] Look, oh, that'll cave your chest in, Austin.
[Ross] You could-- I also believe you could-- you could dislodge
a man's sternum with those-- the size of the Big Show's hands.
The simplest move-- and look at Austin. Now, he's going back downstairs.
[Jerry] Look at that. Stop.
[Ross] Big Show's trying to keep that boot away
and now Austin using the ropes for leverage,
-finally gets the Big Show down. -[Jerry] He got him down.
Now, what's he gonna do with him?
[Ross] Austin wants a piece of him.
[Jerry] He better not let him back up. Oh.
[Ross] I think the referee had glanced at something away from the ring
and Austin took advantage with that low blow.
[Jerry] Well, don't you think referee number two should've seen that?
[Ross] Well, who's to say he didn't?
Maybe he's just letting it go, I don't know.
[Jerry] Oh, he's a rotten referee.
[Ross] Well, so far Flair hasn't made any mistakes.
And Austin now really working on that leg of the Big Show.
[Jerry] Hasn't made any mistakes? He hasn't done anything.
[Ross] That's what I'm saying,
-not make one mistake. -[Jerry] Look at him, he's statue-like.
[Ross] Ooh, Austin, you can see now his game plan evolving
and that is to take the legs from this man
that is well over seven feet tall certainly, and arguably over 500 pounds.
[Jerry] He did what you said. He's chopping the big oak tree down.
[crowd chanting] You fat bastard!
[Ross] Austin again trying to isolate that left leg of the Big Show.
Look at the size of those calves and those thighs of Big Show.
[Jerry] Did you hear what these-- do you think those people are chanting?
And I can't believe that they're this crude.
[Ross] I couldn't make it out.
[Jerry] You certainly should hear it.
You probably-- you probably heard it said to you before,
they're saying-- to the Big Show, they're saying, "You fat bastard."
[Ross] I have heard that on occasion.
Did I tell you about the story of my first wife?
-[Jerry] Well-- -[Ross] For the plane trip back.
And look at Austin.
That big old foot of Austin, he wears a size 12.
[Jerry] See that, my friend, that's a common chant here in England.
You don't hear that every time you're here?
[Ross] No, I--
why would you even say that?
Why would you be so crass?
[crowd chanting] Austin! Austin! Austin
-[Ross] That's Austin. -[Jerry] Oh, yeah.
That's a different chant.
[Ross] Big Show knocking Austin down. The Big Show limping noticeably.
You fat bastard.
How dare you?
[Jerry] I didn't think you could chant up, J.R.
[Ross] Austin again now, he's got that leg locked up
and Big Show trying to extend the leg.
Austin using the Big Show's own knee brace, for some additional leverage.
[Jerry] Hey, ease up by the knee brace now, that's--
[Ross] Look at Big Show's hand.
[Jerry] They're bigger than Austin's head.
[Ross] That is scary. Look at the Big Show's fingers.
I bet he wears a size 20 ring.
This is a scary big man.
[Jerry] You love the statistic, don't you?
Does Flair see anything with the stuff
that Austin was doing with that knee brace?
-[Ross] I don't know. -[Jerry] That's medical equipment, Flair.
[Ross] Why don't you go ask him? You have no anchor tied to your backside.
-Your arse can be moved. -[Jerry] Oh, sorry.
Right. I do have an anchor tied to me, J.R.,
it's called you.
Oh, look at this.
[Ross] Austin again,
kicking that knee joint and I don't care how big
or how strong you are, those joints are delicate.
Even the Big Show's joints are delicate, I would assume.
[Jerry] Oh, there's nothing delicate about the Big Show.
You keep talking about how big he is, but-- oh, look at this.
[Ross] Big Show misses the clothesline,
misses the elbow, and, boy, he doesn't miss--
[Jerry] He's not gonna miss this body slam.
[Ross] He doesn't miss The Rattlesnake.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Ross] Tremendous slam by the Big Show, in the most elementary of maneuvers,
-because this man is so large, -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] are even more effective.
[Jerry] Well, now he's gonna be serious, getting down to business.
[Ross] Now, I just hate when a wrestler pulls his strap down
and says it's gonna mean something else, like it's a charge of adrenaline.
[Jerry] Yeah. That's like-- I mean, this is like sending
-a message to your opponent. -[Ross] When you pull your strap down?
-[Jerry] Yeah, it's like-- -[Ross] Oh.
[Jerry] I mean, you know, I've heard that-- oh.
[Ross] That foot.
I hear he's-- he wears a 22 5E.
[Jerry] Man.
[Ross] That's a wide, long foot.
[Jerry] How are you so familiar with the Big Show's proportion?
[Ross] I do something you don't do before an event, I prepare.
-[Jerry] I got a question. -[Ross] I read my notes.
[Jerry] I got a question for you about Big Show's proportions.
-[Ross] All right. Go ahead. -[Jerry] No, never mind.
[Ross] Well, you might be interested in that bigger part of the data, I'm not.
[Jerry] I mean, you don't know what I was gonna ask.
-[Ross] I know where you're heading. -[Jerry] Look out.
[Ross] Where you're always heading. Look at Big Show.
He has absolutely done everything basic, not making any mistakes, so fundamental.
-[Jerry] Look! Look, he's standing on him. -[Ross] Now, he's standing on the man.
-[Jerry] He's standing on him. -[Ross] And when you're 500 plus,
standing on man's kidneys will allow you to urinate blood for several days.
[Jerry] It can make you lose control of all bodily function.
[Ross] Ooh, right across the back. Driving the air out of Austin.
Every time the Big Show with tree-like arm hits Stone Cold.
Oh, gosh almighty, that suplex.
-[Nick] Stone Cold… -[groaning]
[Ross] Big Show driving Austin down.
[Jerry] This is very untypical or atypical match
for Stone Cold, isn't it?
We're not used to seeing him just get manhandled like this.
Now what?
[Ross] Well, right now Big Show is manhandling Austin
and Big Show still sorting the adverse effects
-of that onslaught on his knee, but-- -[Nick] Back in the ring, Big Show.
-Come on. -[Ross] Man, this is bad.
[crowd exclaims]
-[Jerry] Look at referee number two. -[Ross] Good grief!
Three…
[Jerry] Has referee number two even spoken a word here
ever since this match started?
[Ross] What do you want him to do, a speech?
[Jerry] Shouldn't he be going over there and saying,
"Big Show, you're not supposed to be in--"
[Ross] And the referee in the ring has got the count on Big Show
which should indicate he should be back in the ring.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Austin-- oh, back to that leg.
Big Show stepped with that leg and Austin went right back for it.
That's Austin's only chance I think to win this match.
[Jerry] Another reversal coming up here.
[Ross] Just work on that leg…
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[Ross] …and Big Show elevating Austin.
Austin gotta be over eight feet in the air on that one.
[Nick] How about it, Stone Cold? What do you say?
[Jerry] More like ten feet.
You gotta admit J.R.,
just admit it, Big Show is absolutely dominating Austin in this match.
-Dominating him. -[Ross] I agree. You're right.
Nobody has ever dominated Stone Cold like the 500-pound Big Show.
[Jerry] Listen to this.
[crowd chanting] "You fat bastard. You fat bastard."
Are they talking to you or are they're talking to Big Show?
Surely they're not talking to Big Show.
[Ross] That joke has run its course.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Please go somewhere else.
-Take a look at this. -[Jerry] Huge backdrop.
[Ross] It's barely-- it's nothing but elementary.
[Jerry] Let's see the mountain top. So nice, we're looking it twice. Wow.
[Ross] First the Big Show stands in Austin's kidneys and lower back,
then he drops him with a backdrop.
And now Austin's back, exposed again.
And Big Show in danger of getting disqualified here.
Break it, Big Show. One, two--
[Jerry] What is Ric-- what is Ric Flair gonna do here?
-I mean, he's looking right at Austin. -[Ross] I don't know what Flair can do.
[Jerry] I mean, that's six inches away from the action.
He's a good referee.
[Ross] Well, what do you want him to do? What would you suggest he do?
The referee in the ring is doing a good job.
[Jerry] Well, I mean, what is he doing out here?
[Ross] Oh, he had-- I don't know. He's the owner.
He'd do what the hell he wants.
-Big Show-- -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Ross] You-- when you think Austin is gonna build some momentum
or turn the table, it does not happen.
And the Big Show with the lateral press. Look at the size.
-And Austin-- -No, sir, two.
[Ross] I don't know if he kicked out or just did the shoulder up.
[Jerry] Huh? I'm trying to remember, J.R.
I don't know-- hooking-- and I'm trying to remember.
I don't know if I've ever seen Austin take this much abuse
and this much punishment in a match ever.
[Ross] Well, this is gonna be over right here.
Austin's got a shoulder up and turned to his stomach.
It's a smart move. That's good instincts by Stone Cold.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh! -[Ross] And Austin now fighting back.
Look at the fire in Austin's eyes.
Austin was raging for just a flurry,
but it was too little and maybe too late.
[Jerry] Those big chops would just, like, knock the breath out of you--
knock the wind out of you.
Oh, now the bear hug.
[Ross] The longer it goes, the simpler it gets,
and the more negative it looks for Austin.
[Jerry] More punishment, more agonizing abuse.
[Ross] Again, that lower back seems to be now the focus of the Big Show.
As we documented earlier,
this crowd really getting in, trying to help Austin.
Big Show standing in Austin's lower back and kidneys hammering
-with a high impact. -[Jerry] Oh, he's biting him.
[Ross] Austin's gotta do anything he can do.
[Jerry] Flair needs to get in the ring and disqualify Austin right now.
[Ross] Yeah, those bites are deadly. He may need a tetanus shot.
-[Jerry] Oh, look at this. -[Ross] And there's a cover
and a hook to the leg. Disqualified for biting.
[Jerry] Look what they did to Mike Tyson for one little nibble.
[Ross] Again, the Big Show, he's like a huge bear
that has killed his prey and is now gonna drag him to the cave.
[Jerry] Yeah, he's just-- it's like in Discovery Channel
where they just-- they just play with it.
That's what he's doing. He's toying with his prey now.
I think Show's actually smiling.
[Ross] Austin fading away here.
-Referee checking Austin's arm. -One.
[Ross] If it drops three times, this match is over.
-Two. -[Ross] It has dropped twice.
[Jerry] It's over. What?
[Ross] I think not. I think not.
And Austin with a headbutt
right across the bridge of the nose more specifically.
[Jerry] Right on the bite mark.
[Ross] Austin using the side of his head.
Those successive-- those successive headbutts.
But again, the Big Show counters.
But this time, Austin able to counter back.
[Jerry] Oh!
[Ross] Austin with a boot to the face.
[Jerry] Look out. Oh.
-[Ross] A Lou Thesz Press… -[Jerry] Look at this.
[Ross] …from the second rope.
[Jerry] He's opening up a can of whoop-ass on the Big Show now.
[Ross] Austin-- and the Big Show just swatting Austin away.
And again, Stone Cold is 250.
Right hand has been Austin's most effective,
quite frankly, his only offensive weapon in this match.
[Jerry] How many of those big right hands can the Big Show withstand?
He's reeling. He's rocking.
[Ross] Nobody has ever taken this many right hands.
[Jerry] No!
[Ross] And my gosh, not only stand but countered back.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] And Austin knocked down. The referee checking on Austin.
I'm sure his eyes are glazed over.
[Jerry] I think I heard Austin saying, "Is he still here?"
Oh, no.
[Ross] Well, Big Show nailed the referee with that Stunner.
And that was-- or a clothesline.
-A Stunner on the Big Show. -[Jerry] Stunner. Stunner.
[Ross] The Stunner.
Wait a minute, wait a damn minute.
Patrick's down, the other referee, there were two, Ric Flair…
[Jerry] Look who's coming.
[Ross] …going to head off the nWo, Big Show's teammates.
Flair now coming back, Austin with the step.
[crowd cheering]
Flair knocking down the nWo.
[Jerry] What's he doing? Look out, Flair.
You can't do that. He's got some weapons.
[Ross] Flair is running off the nWo.
Flair with that weapon, a hardcore weapon.
[Jerry] Yeah, but Austin needs Flair to come back and make the count.
-Oh, wait. Show is up. -[Ross] Big Show is back up.
[Jerry] Big Show is up. Austin, turn around.
[Ross] The Big Show is up.
-A matter of-- -[Jerry] Look behind you.
Oh, no.
[Ross] Austin hit the Stunner,
but Flair torn between counting the Stunner
or stopping the nWo, chose the nWo.
[Jerry] Look at Austin now, got out of the grasp of the Big Show.
[Ross] Austin fighting for everything he's got,
but will everything what Austin's got be enough?
-Come on, Flair. -[Ross] God almighty, that elbow.
Come on.
[Jerry] Five hundred pounds landed on Austin.
[Ross] Right in Austin's solar plexus, drove the air out of him.
The Big Show back in the driver seat here.
[crowd chanting]
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Oh, and a headbutt by the Big Show.
-Man, Austin-- Nick Patrick is-- -[Jerry] Hey, look at this.
-[Ross] What the-- -[Jerry] What the hell?
[Ross] Wait a damn minute. That's Kevin Nash.
What the hell is he doing here?
[Jerry] He's got those nunchuck-- oh!
[Ross] He's been suspended without pay.
-[Jerry] No! -[Ross] Nash got the Stunner.
Big Show got the Stunner.
And the oak tree has been fallen.
-[Jerry] No. -[Ross] Three counts.
-[crowd] Three. -[Jerry] I can't believe it.
-[bell ringing] -[Ross] The Rattlesnake wins.
The Rattlesnake wins.
[Howard] Here's your winner, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
-["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing] -[Jerry] I can't believe it.
Here's Flair back.
[Ross] Ric Flair is back from apparently disposing the nWo.
And now Flair wants Nash to get the hell out of here.
Kevin Nash and the nWo has been suspended without pay
by Ric Flair several weeks ago.
[Jerry] You don't have to worry about it, Flair. It's over.
[Ross] Boy, you talk about rising from the dead.
Stone Cold has primed tonight here in London.
Perhaps his biggest physical matchup ever.
And now it's time to celebrate, King.
[Jerry] I told you it looked like he fancied a bevy.
He's about to have him one.
And he deserves this one.
[Ross] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
He would never quit. He never gave up, I'll tell you that.
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Ross] It was not one Stunner,
but literally three Stunners over the course of time.
[Jerry] But you gotta admit,
you've never seen anyone dominate The Rattlesnake
like the Big Show did, but I still can't believe that outcome.
[Ross] Well, Ric Flair, the owner of Raw, the special referee tonight--
[Ric] Cut!
[Ross] …demanding a microphone.
[Jerry] He's cutting short.
You're the man.
And I told you I would come through, I would never let you down.
You're "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
By God, you're the man, buddy.
I told you if X-Pac, Scott Hall,
anybody came down here,
I would make sure nobody interfered.
You're the man, buddy.
[Jerry] Where were you for Kevin Nash?
Whoo!
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[crowd chanting] What? What? What?
[crowd cheering]
-What? -[crowd] What?
What? What? What? What? What? What? What?
[Jerry laughs]
You counted my feet on the ropes at Backlash
-against The Undertaker. -[crowd] What?
You made the Big Show my partner.
-[crowd] What? -He chokeslammed me.
-[crowd] What? -You're out here…
-[crowd] What? -…lollygagging around…
-[crowd] What? -…while Stone Cold…
-[crowd] What? -…was kicking the Big Show's ass.
-[crowd] What? -And now you wanna drink a beer?
-[crowd] What? -A beer.
-[crowd] What? -A cerveza.
-[crowd] What? -A brewski.
-[crowd] What? -A cerveza.
-[crowd] What? -Some suds?
-[crowd] What? -Damn near a Guinness stout.
-[crowd] What? -You wanna drink a Steveweiser?
-[crowd] What? -You want bygones to be bygones?
-[crowd] What? -That's fine with me. Let's drink.
[crowd] What?
[Jerry] It may be the worst thing Flair has ever done,
grabbing one of Stone Cold's beers without asking.
He's letting him drink it.
-[Ross] Oh, look out. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Oh. Austin just stunned the owner of Raw.
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
[Ross] Austin exploding on Ric Flair
and just stunned the hell on the man
who signs Austin's checks.
[Jerry] Now, let me ask you this, J.R.,
as bad a referee as he is, did Ric Flair deserve that?
[Ross] Oh, no comment.
[Jerry] Oh, now, look at this.
Austin is mad. He's wasting a good beer now.
[Ross] And Ric Flair is-- has been assaulted by Austin,
has been embarrassed by Austin, humiliated by Austin
and you gotta wonder what price Stone Cold may pay now.
[Jerry] I'll tell you what Stone Cold is gonna do now,
he's gonna go get Brock to enlist.
[Ross] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has just defeated the 500-pound Big Show
in a war fighting off Kevin Nash who wasn't even supposed to be here.
[Jerry] Unbelievable.
[Ross] Well, ladies and gentlemen, this one is gonna be a slobberknocker,
Triple H and The Undertaker.
And don't forget, The Undertaker cost Triple H
the undisputed title at Backlash.
[rock music playing]
[Ross] Triple H loading Hogan up.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] The Pedigree. This one is gonna be over.
Oh, my God, The Undertaker just struck the referee.
[Jerry] What the hell?
[Ross] The Undertaker didn't want Triple H to win this match.
The blood of Triple H pouring from his head
thanks to The Undertaker.
The Undertaker cost Triple H his dream,
his life on this night.
[Undertaker] Now, as your number one contender,
at Judgment Day, I will be crowned
World Wrestling Entertainment Undisputed Champion.
[Ross] Hey, wait a minute, there's The Game.
[Undertaker] He can't be here. He's supposed to be on SmackDown.
What's he doing here?
[Ross] Well, The Game got screwed out of a WWE title
-by The Undertaker at Backlash. -[Jerry] Oh, look out.
[Ross] The Game taking down The Undertaker.
Triple H trying to maim The Undertaker.
My God, it's chaotic. Triple H is a man possessed.
[Jerry] Hold him back.
Oh, look out, here comes The Undertaker back again.
[Ross] Undertaker bleeding profusely at hands of The Game.
The Game just beating the holy hell out of the number one contender,
the man, The Undertaker, that cost Triple H the undisputed title.
[Triple H] Come on, Taker. Come on.
You wanna screw with me?
[Ross] Triple H with a sledgehammer and using it on The Undertaker.
Oh, no.
And there's-- oh, security.
[Jerry] Get him, he's out of control.
[Ross] The Game is handcuffed. Apparently, he's being arrested.
Can you imagine what The Undertaker's gonna wanna do to The Game?
There's gonna be some serious hell to pay
[Michael] A shot at the WWE Undisputed title.
And Hulk Hogan is on the line.
The winner of this match gets a title shot.
[Tazz] He's gonna nail this Pedigree, Cole!
[Michael] This could be it. Wait a minute!
[Tazz] What the--
[Michael] The damn red devil, The Undertaker.
[Tazz] Big Evil… He's down! Jericho's got him!
-[Michael] Damn it! Damn it! -[Tazz] Whoa!
-He did it. -[Michael] And Triple H is livid.
The Undertaker has screwed Triple H.
[Tazz] Undertaker doesn't belong here.
-He's from Raw! -[Michael] This is retribution.
[Undertaker] Triple H, I'm not awestruck by your presence
and I'm definitely not impressed with you
[Triple H] When you step in the ring with me, you are an obstacle,
and I will run you down.
[Michael] Triple H beats The Undertaker.
[Ross] And you just gotta imagine
how physically intense this confrontation will be.

[crowd cheering]
♪ It's time to play the game ♪
[Jerry] I'll tell you how this came about.
Triple H insisted that he gets the opportunity to face The Undertaker.
He didn't care where, when, he just wants The Deadman.
[Ross] It's a great match, a great main event
for Ric Flair's Raw brand.
It also may be a way for Mr. McMahon
to eliminate his soon-to-be future son-in-law once and for all.
The Undertaker told us earlier tonight, he was not in a very good mood.
I don't find that to be a huge surprise.
Nonetheless, this is gonna be physical.
[Jerry] Well, the brilliance of Mr. McMahon never ends.
We can thank him for this match and him…
-and him. -[bell rings]
[Jerry] I love it. This is gonna be great.
[Ross] Everybody knows here in London,
here in Wembley Arena, this is gonna be physical,
and it's starting out just that. Who is the better man?
The right hands connecting.
Triple H now, seeming to get a little bit of the advantage
-but not for long as The Undertaker -Wow.
the knee to the solar plexus-- oh, what a shot.
A huge right hand.
Triple H counters, didn't connect,
-and comes the high knee. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Triple H with the high knee, taking down The Undertaker.
[Jerry] Look at this. Oh, my God!
[Ross] High back body drop. The Undertaker close to seven feet tall.
[Jerry] I don't think I've ever seen The Undertaker backdropped.
[Ross] Just about 300 pounds.
[Jerry] What a backdrop. Did you see that, J.R.?
-[Ross] I saw it, all right. -[Jerry] Oh, my God.
[Ross] I don't think I've ever seen The Undertaker elevated that high,
but The Undertaker with a reverse elbow hitting Triple H in the temple.
[Jerry] Look at this one more time. Look at the height.
Look at this.
-God! -[Ross] Unbelievable.
[Jerry] And he's already recovered.
[Ross] Triple H is six-feet-four or five--
[Jerry] The Undertaker back in command already, J.R.
[Ross] He sure is.
He is a dangerous human being, as dangerous as there has ever been.
And look out here. The Undertaker--
The Undertaker was looking to drive Triple H into the ring post,
but Triple H, "The Cerebral Assassin" able to counter,
rolled back into the ring, broke the referee's ten-count.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] And now, Triple H is trying to open up The Undertaker
with those hard right hands right into the face.
[Jerry] He broke the ten-count, now he's trying break Undertaker's head.
[Ross] Triple H has got that right hand heavily taped
which is not unusual for him, but it's certainly gonna perhaps
keep his right hand from breaking especially as hard as Triple H
is hitting The Undertaker in the head.
And what a clothesline.
That could be all there.
And Triple H quickly kicks-out, almost frantically kicks-out.
[Jerry] Talking about hitting hard, that clothesline was-- I felt that over here.
[Ross] And Undertaker now,
goes upstairs and he goes downstairs with the body shots
and he is a intimidating presence.
And The Undertaker, again, knocking down Triple H.
And there's no three knockdown rule here,
the cover and Triple H trying to kick-out and does.
[Jerry] Well, you got to give Triple H his props.
I mean, he is in unbelievable shape, J.R.
I mean, he is-- you can't be anymore well-conditioned than Triple H is.
If you weren't that well-conditioned,
I mean, those shots that The Undertaker's delivering,
those body shots, those shots to the head,
I mean, a normal guy would already be out and this match would already be over.
[Ross] I can't argue that point.
And Undertaker right now, however, is dominating.
And there he's using that arm wringer.
And again, when you're seven feet tall, you can use that height advantage
-which creates a leverage opportunity. -[Jerry] Yup.
[Ross] That's what The Undertaker's doing here.
[Jerry] He's not dominating like the Big Show was dominating
earlier tonight.
You got to give Big Show credit, he dominated The Rattlesnake.
[Ross] I agree with that, but nonetheless,
it was a "Stone Cold" Steve Austin victory earlier tonight.
[Jerry] How about some Old School Undertaker?
-[Ross] This balance here. -[Jerry] Oh, no!
[Ross] Oh! And Triple H jerking The Undertaker off the top rope
as The Undertaker was gonna do a little Old School.
And now, Triple H with that taped right hand right back in business.
-Wow. -What do you say?
-Never. -[Jerry] That's not gonna sit well
with The Undertaker.
He was gonna give everybody here in England a treat.
Oh, man!
[Ross] A facelock into the suplex.
-High impact stuff here. -[Jerry] You're right.
I'm gonna tell you, this is very out of character
to see The Undertaker getting handled like this as well.
-Back drop suplex. -[Ross] Triple H, the elbow,
hook of the leg, and a near fall.
[Jerry] Not just anybody could those kind of things to The Undertaker.
-Hey, wait. -[Ross] Oh, look at The Undertaker.
I don't believe this.
Undertaker is--
[Jerry] That's a good strategy, buy a little time
and play a little possum.
[Ross] The Undertaker may have suckered Triple H in.
-[Jerry] Told you I was good at what I do. -What you doing? Get in there!
[Jerry] Don't go there with that sucker stuff.
Get out of the way. Oh, man.
[Ross] The Undertaker's head bouncing off that table and does it again.
[Jerry] I'll just be over here.
-Wow. -[Ross] You may have to abdicate
the throne here and I'll be right behind you.
[Jerry] Did you see that? Did you hear that or feel that?
[Ross] Boy, the whole table is shook.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Get this whole arena shook when The Undertaker hit that floor.
[Ross] Referee Earl Hebner using that ten-count,
and up for-- up to four right now.
Four.
[Ross] Undertaker's gotta get back in the ring before that count reaches ten.
Triple H says, "I don't wanna win this match in a count out."
He wants to beat The Undertaker,
but first, Triple H wants to beat The Undertaker.
[Jerry] Oh, look out. He could fall right back here on us.
Knock it off.
[Ross] Undertaker blocks the right hand and hangs Triple H up on that top rope.
Triple H's neck hung up on that top rope.
And The Undertaker is so resourceful. This veteran, now in his 11th year
in the World Wrestling Entertainment, over a decade.
And the big man, at 300,
running around, a lot of momentum there with that high impact clothesline.
[Jerry] That took a lot out of Triple H.
-You can tell. He's dazed. -Get in here. Knock it off!
[Jerry] Look at Undertaker, just taking his time.
[Ross] Look at Undertaker's eyes. It's scary, they scare me.
And that right-- that elbow driven-- looking for the heart of the--
of The Cerebral Assassin.
Triple H just getting assaulted here by perhaps the most ruthless individual
that this business, this company has ever seen.
[Earl] Six.
Get in here.
[Ross] The referee giving a six-count and The Undertaker rolling in,
breaking that count,
but Triple H has just been devastated here.
[Jerry] Ref, I'd keep your word soft and sweet when you're talking to Undertaker.
You may have to eat them later. Hey, knock it off.
-Get in the ring. Get in here. -[Ross] Now, what?
Triple H lying helplessly on that ring apron.
-[Jerry] Oh, my gosh, watch this. -[Ross] What is this?
-[Jerry] Oh, no! -[crowd exclaiming]
[Ross] What a leg drop on Triple H.
He just almost got broken in half on the ring apron
by that leg drop of The Undertaker.
And Triple H, now, he is writhing in pain
and the referee may want to consider stopping this match.
[Jerry] I don't think Triple H is gonna let the referee stop this thing.
[Ross] I don't think they'd be voting on it.
Triple H pulls himself back up.
I mean, if a guy can't defend himself, what are you gonna do?
Triple H catching The Undertaker coming in.
[Jerry] He can't defend himself.
[Ross] Indeed, he can.
Triple H again with that heavily taped right hand
burning its mark on The Undertaker.
[Jerry] Wow.
-[Ross] Oh, Undertaker went downstairs. -[Jerry] There you go.
[Ross] Undertaker went right downstairs,
gonna try to focus that spot and now hammering that-- the knee as well.
And look at The Undertaker turn it up here.
He is so relentless.
[Jerry] Well, any man like Triple H who has ever been out of action
for almost a year with a leg injury, that leg-- when he comes back,
it's always gonna have a bullseye on it.
It's like a target.
[Ross] Triple H got to get out this predicament as quickly as he possibly can.
-What do you say? -No!
[Ross] The Undertaker now focusing on that left leg.
And Triple H with that massive upper body strength.
He's trying to-- he's got to use everything he's got to get out of this.
[Jerry] And this huge crowd here in Wembley Arena trying to--
trying to inspire Triple H.
-Ooh. -[Ross] Ooh. Wow, and Triple H…
-[Jerry] Look at that. -[Ross] …using his right leg
to free himself from that-- from the predicament with The Undertaker.
[Jerry] And hammering The Undertaker's head like a railroad spike there.
[Ross] Triple H again coming back with those right hands rocking The Undertaker.
[Jerry] Whoa!
-[Ross] Oh, man. -[Jerry] Look at the force.
[Ross] That rope broke when The Undertaker--
he may have-- he may have hurt his back.
Under-- that top rope broke with the velocity of Triple H
sent The Undertaker up for the ring-- on the rope.
[Jerry] And did you see the referee trying to check on The Undertaker's condition
and the-- Triple H just threw the referee out of the way.
He don't care what condition The Undertaker is in.
[Ross] Wow. This match is so damn intense.
Their bodies are being destroyed and so is the surface
that these two men are competing in.
Undertaker dropping that elbow right on The Game.
There's the lateral press.
And a-- and Triple H able to kick-out.
[Jerry] And this top rope has broken, J.R.
I think that actually one of the metal turnbuckles snapped.
[Ross] Man, that was high impact.
Triple H is so big and so strong,
he sent the 300-pound Undertaker sailing,
and this-- the velocity-- Look at that top rope, King,
does it remind you of anything? It's just hanging there limp as a rag.
-[Jerry] It's shot. -[Ross] It is shot.
-[crowd yelling] -[Ross] And is-- are Triple H's chances
of winning this epic one-on-one matchup between two heated rivals,
are his chances shot?
The Game trying to fight his way back up.
He's gotta release some pressure here.
Undertaker holding on, but Triple H,
again, going back to that familiar right hand.
-[Jerry] Oh, look out! -[Ross] With a great wrestling move,
the suplex.
Triple H hooking up that suplex and dropping The Undertaker.
[Jerry] That even things back up again.
Both men down.
[Ross] Man, this has been a physical,
-physical encounter. -I'm gonna kill him.
[crowd chanting] Triple H! Triple H! Triple H!
-[Ross] Both men get up-oh! -[Jerry] Oh!
[Ross] And both men back down.
It's like two trucks
slamming together on the 81. On the alibi, right?
[Jerry] No, that's in Germany, isn't it?
[Ross] Now what a matchup this has been.
This match is one of those ones you look back on and say,
"Will this guy's career-- " when it was over, that match was a--
maybe one of the reasons.
This is one of those matches that your body cannot
and I don't think will not ever totally recover from.
[Jerry] Oh, no.
Undertaker went for that huge foot to the face of Triple H, but nobody was home.
[Ross] Undertaker not on a very comfortable position right now.
Straddling that rope or what's left of it
and him getting those right hands as well and a-- oh!
What a nice swinging Neckbreaker,
a high impact swinging Neckbreaker.
[Jerry] And look at The Undertaker, right to his feet already.
[Ross] The Undertaker getting-- does get back up,
got to believe part of that, King, is out of instinct.
Now, look at Triple H, Undertaker cross, he blocks the right.
Triple H, again, with a Neckbreaker!
The second Neckbreaker within 30 seconds.
[Jerry] Undertaker not getting up as quickly from that one, is he?
Trying to get up.
[Ross] Triple H pulling The Undertaker up.
And what a spinebuster.
What a spinebuster.
It's gonna be over here.
And The Undertaker able to kick-out.
What a spinebuster.
High impact.
[Jerry] I thought it was over for him.
I thought that was it.
[Ross] And these guys have not focused on body parts to any extent.
It's all been high impact.
It's all been a fist fight. It's all been a slobberknocker.
-[Jerry] Here we go! -[Ross] Oh, here we go!
Triple H trying to get-- trying to hook up the Pedigree.
The Undertaker could feel it.
He could sense it and he forced Triple H into that…
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Ross] …turnbuckle and a big boot.
-[Jerry] Man. -[Ross] That size 15 to the face.
[Jerry] It almost took Triple H's head off and this may finish him off.
-[crowd cheering, jeering] -[Ross] Maybe you're right, King.
It may be Chokeslam time.
[Jerry] It is.
It is Chokeslam time. Look at the eyes of The Undertaker.
[Ross] Oh, I am scared.
-He's a demonic-- -[Jerry] Look out!
[Ross] Oh!
Triple H somehow countered the Chokeslam.
He countered. Will it be-- yeah, no!
-Two. -[Jerry] I didn't see it.
What did he hit him with?
[Ross] That was a slick counter to the Chokeslam as I have ever seen.
[Jerry] I thought The Undertaker had Triple H up and then all of a sudden,
The Undertaker's knees buckled.
[Jerry] There's that-- that's-- look out for this-- that--
there's the busted turnbuckle right there.
[Ross] Ladies and gentlemen, these men are breaking steel.
They're bending bones and Triple H-- look out.
-Undertaker has Triple H. -[Jerry] He got him now.
[Ross] Chokeslam!
Chokeslam by the demonic Undertaker.
-He has the cover… -[crowd] One, two--
-[Ross] …and The Game kicked out! -[crowd cheering]
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Here's the reversal that-- oh, that was it.
[Ross] Triple H reversed The Undertaker that time…
-[Jerry] But not this time. -[Ross] …but not this time.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] But still somehow, Triple H able to kick-out
and still surviving, but he may not survive this metal chair.
[Ross] The Undertaker bringing the steel chair in.
This has not about wins and losses for The Undertaker,
it's about hurting The Game.
No, no! I told you no!
[Ross] The Undertaker broke The Game's heart
when he cost him the WWE title.
[Jerry] Oh!
[Ross] And now The Undertaker wants to break The Game's spirit,
but not tonight, not now.
Triple H-- oh!
How did The Undertaker kick out of that damn--
that chair shot right back in his face?
[Jerry] That referee got the chair out of the ring now, but it's done its damage.
The Undertaker's-- he's reeling. Oh, wait a minute!
-DDT! -[Ross] Big DDT!
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Ross] From a 300-pound man, a DDT.
The Undertaker makes a cover.
You can see-- almost see it coming,
that left arm of Triple H wasn't as covered
because The Undertaker's got to be so fatigued.
His body's gonna be racked with pain just like The Game.
[Jerry] Yeah, but he's not too racked to tell the world
that he is about to finish off Triple H once and for all, J.R.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] The end is obviously or seemingly near for Triple H.
[Jerry] Could it be the Last Ride coming or what?
Oh, look at Triple H.
[Ross] The Undertaker looking a submission move.
It was countered.
Triple H clothesline and even Triple H--
he is clever-- would indicate that he is
running on empty here just like The Undertaker.
[Jerry] They're beating the living daylights out of each other.
I've never seen anything like this.
[Ross] Man, this is physical, this is intense and it's almost over.
-[Jerry] Ooh! -[Ross] They are some snake eyes
by The Undertaker.
-[Jerry] Look at this! -[Ross] Oh, The Game counters
with a high knee. My God, what a wrestling match.
What a matchup.
What an encounter between two of the greats.
-And Triple H looking with a Pedigree. -[Jerry] He got it!
[Ross] Pedigree!
Pedigree!
What a knee!
[crowd] One, two, three.
-[Ross] Yes, it is. -[bell rings]
-[crowd cheering] -[Ross] The Game.
-["The Game" playing] -[Howard] Here is your winner,
Triple H!
[Ross] My God, what a war.
What a confrontation, one for the ages.
♪ I am control ♪
♪ No way you can change me ♪
♪ I am heavy debt, no way you can pay me ♪
[Ross] These fans in London on their feet.
The Game with one of the hardest fought victory of his entire career.
[Jerry] What a match. What a victory for Triple H.
[Ross] This match could have ended
on many occasions, but both men having the advantage,
but the winner is The Game.
The Cerebral Assassin
able to counter and counter and survive and survive
-and live to see the Pedigree. -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Man, these guys tried to destroy each other
even the ring did get destroyed.
It was unbelievable.
[Ross] The human anatomy rocked,
the physical body taken apart and so is this ring.
[Jerry] And this is the beginning of the end right here.
Undertaker on the offense, but then Triple H comes back
with a huge high knee and somehow he was able to lock in this Pedigree.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Look at this. Whoa!
[Ross] Undertaker face first.
Oh.
What a victory.
What a hell of a wrestling match between The Undertaker and Triple H.
[Jerry] And look, they're not through with each other, J.R., not by a long shot.
[Ross] You can bet your last pound that this one is not over
between these two men.
Somewhere, someday, they'll meet again. And so will we, ladies and gentlemen.
Someday we will meet again here on Sky Box Office.
Thank you, everybody. And goodnight from London.
[song fades] erybody. And goodnight from London.
