00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:13,747
[narrator 2] A demonic creation.

How can a society so advanced

create a structure so barbaric?

11
00:00:35,068 --> 00:00:38,539
The answer lies within.

00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:42,181
in Eddie Guerrero
and Rey Mysterio here tonight.

95
00:04:42,248 --> 00:04:45,284
Now, remember,
this past Thursday night on SmackDown,

96
00:04:45,385 --> 00:04:48,021
Rey Mysterio invoked
his return match clause.

97
00:04:48,087 --> 00:04:50,690
Since his partner Rob Van Dam
is out with a knee injury

98
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,260
caused by the Bashams,
who did Rey choose as his partner?

99
00:04:54,327 --> 00:04:56,695
His homeboy, Eddie Guerrero.

100
00:04:56,763 --> 00:04:59,466
[Tazz] And I pointed it out on Sunday
night at Heat, I pointed it out

101
00:04:59,532 --> 00:05:04,337
that Eddie and Rey Mysterio go way back,
man, way, way back.

102
00:05:04,437 --> 00:05:06,272
And I'll tell you,
these guys are damn near like brothers.

103
00:05:06,339 --> 00:05:08,241
They're super tight, super close.

104
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:10,477
[Michael] What do they call that,
compadre, right?

105

how to speak Spanish, right?

Hey, Hugo, what is that?

108
00:05:14,781 --> 00:05:16,216
He's on the phone.
He's on his headset.

109
00:05:16,282 --> 00:05:17,751

[Michael] Well,
this past Thursday on SmackDown,

116
00:05:39,306 --> 00:05:41,508
Rey Mysterio, building a little momentum.

117
00:05:41,575 --> 00:05:45,245
One on one with the man who took out
his partner in RVD, Doug Basham.

118
00:05:45,312 --> 00:05:48,481
But it was Eddie Guerrero doing some lying
and cheating and stealing

119
00:05:48,548 --> 00:05:50,349
to help Rey pick up the victory.

120
00:05:50,417 --> 00:05:52,284
[Tazz] I mean, I'd love to say
I don't know why Eddie Guerrero did that,

121
00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:55,288
but I do know why, 'cause the guy cheats
and he lies and that's a family tradition,

122
00:05:55,421 --> 00:05:58,191
and he steals, I get that,
but he wasn't even in the match.

123
00:05:58,258 --> 00:06:00,994
But you know what,
Rey and Eddie, to my point,

124
00:06:01,061 --> 00:06:02,863
they're super close, they're tight.

-First for the challengers.
-[Tazz] Okay.

140
00:06:39,132 --> 00:06:40,933
[Michael] If you're Eddie and Rey,
what do you have to do

141
00:06:41,001 --> 00:06:42,769
against an established team
like the Bashams?

142
00:06:43,203 --> 00:06:44,471
[Tazz] Try and throw 'em
off their game

143
00:06:44,537 --> 00:06:46,907
and this Eddie Guerrero--
this Eddie chant might help them.

They're kinda-- Man, they're brawlers.

going for a single leg,

160
00:07:22,342 --> 00:07:23,876
now hooks a front headlock.

161
00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:25,779
And, you know,
I guess Eddie's got his game,

162
00:07:25,844 --> 00:07:28,847
putting-- possibly gonna exchange holds
with Danny Basham

163
00:07:28,914 --> 00:07:31,484
and Eddie could do that
very well first on the mat, no secret.

164
00:07:31,551 --> 00:07:33,954
[Michael] Eddie Guerrero,
slide through the leg and hooks the leg.

165
00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:37,157
[Tazz] Nice inside trip
to open that ankle right there,

166
00:07:37,257 --> 00:07:38,457
twisting that knee and the ankle.

167
00:07:38,525 --> 00:07:40,926
That puts pressure on your knee,
actually, more than your ankle.

00:07:40,994 --> 00:07:42,662
[Michael] WWE Tag Team title's
on the line.

169
00:07:42,729 --> 00:07:45,265
You know, Tazz,
Eddie Guerrero will never forget

170
00:07:45,332 --> 00:07:48,234
last year's No Way Out
in San Francisco, California.

171
00:07:48,301 --> 00:07:51,270
That's when Eddie Guerrero
won the WWE Championship

172
00:07:51,337 --> 00:07:52,906
for the very first time.

173
00:07:52,972 --> 00:07:56,909
Perhaps lightning can strike twice here
tonight for Eddie Guerrero at No Way Out.

174
00:07:56,977 --> 00:07:58,811
[Tazz] Well, absolutely, no doubt.
And here comes--

175
00:07:58,878 --> 00:08:02,248
[Michael] Tagging Rey, and Mysterio
taking out the arm of Danny Basham.

176
00:08:02,315 --> 00:08:04,918
[Tazz] Did you see how quick
Rey just springboards to the top rope

177
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:07,320
and came down
and on that arm of Danny Basham?

178
00:08:07,387 --> 00:08:08,655
That's what I was saying earlier.

179
00:08:08,722 --> 00:08:11,691
You gotta, you know,
slow down the pace if you can.

180
00:08:11,758 --> 00:08:12,926
It's tough to do.

181
00:08:12,993 --> 00:08:14,894
Rey Mysterio gives up size
but he's so quick and tough.

182
00:08:15,027 --> 00:08:16,061
Nice leg drop.

183
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:17,330
[Michael] Leg drop,
quickly into the cover,

184
00:08:17,397 --> 00:08:19,765
Mysterio hooks the outside leg,
shoulders down, kick-out.

185
00:08:19,866 --> 00:08:22,301
Who will ever forget the performance
in lieu of the opportunity

186
00:08:22,369 --> 00:08:24,137
to call for Jim Ross, Tazz,

187
00:08:24,203 --> 00:08:27,140
the performance of Rey Mysterio
in the Royal Rumble match

188
00:08:27,207 --> 00:08:31,176
a couple of weeks ago,
lasting nearly 40 minutes in that match.

189
00:08:31,244 --> 00:08:32,946
-One, two, three!
-[Tazz] It just shows the toughness

190
00:08:33,012 --> 00:08:34,079
that Rey Mysterio has.

191
00:08:34,146 --> 00:08:37,082
And you see Doug just poking,
just slapping Rey in the head.

192
00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:38,717
[Michael] And now you see Doug
draws the referee

193
00:08:38,784 --> 00:08:41,087
and it allows Danny Basham
to go to work on Mysterio.

194
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:43,088
[Tazz] He's isolating
Rey Mysterio in the corner.

195
00:08:43,155 --> 00:08:44,189
That's the right thing to do.

196
00:08:44,256 --> 00:08:46,559
Rey is probably
the quickest man in this match,

197
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:50,597
including his partner, Eddie Guerrero,
slow down, ground the jaguar.

198
00:08:50,663 --> 00:08:53,266
That's-- you know,
ground the guy with the speed,

199
00:08:53,333 --> 00:08:56,569
and the guy with the speed--
or, you know, is Rey Mysterio.

200
00:08:56,636 --> 00:08:59,539
[Michael] I tell you,
the Bashams improving rapidly

201
00:08:59,606 --> 00:09:02,007
over the past couple of years here,
and look at Rey Mysterio.

202
00:09:02,074 --> 00:09:03,810
There's some of that unorthodox offense.

203
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:06,880
Great arm drag by Mysterio.

204
00:09:06,946 --> 00:09:09,749
Tag made to Eddie Guerrero.
Frequent tags by the challengers.

205
00:09:09,816 --> 00:09:11,617
[Tazz] Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio
having their way with--

206
00:09:11,684 --> 00:09:14,286
I mean, this Doug and Danny Basham,
these guys are the Tag Team Champions.

207
00:09:14,353 --> 00:09:16,689
They're not a couple of
slouches in there, you know what I mean?

208
00:09:16,756 --> 00:09:18,158
They're not ham-and-eggers.

209
00:09:18,223 --> 00:09:20,459
We got Rey and Eddie
looking pretty good here.

210
00:09:20,526 --> 00:09:22,896
[Michael] Eddie Guerrero hammering away
to the rib cage in the corner

211
00:09:22,962 --> 00:09:24,396
with the right hands,
and the champion's reeling.

212
00:09:24,464 --> 00:09:26,533
[Tazz] I'll tell you what.
I envy Rey Mysterio.

213
00:09:26,598 --> 00:09:29,636
He gets to be in there and work
with a great partner like Eddie Guerrero.

214
00:09:29,702 --> 00:09:30,703
I wish I had that opportunity.

215
00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:33,439
[Michael] He had a great partner as well
in Rob Van Dam before Doug Basham

216
00:09:33,506 --> 00:09:36,242
took out RVD
with those steel steps to the knee.

217
00:09:36,543 --> 00:09:38,711
[Tazz] Look, Danny
didn't wanna see-- unless that's Doug.

218
00:09:38,778 --> 00:09:40,547
They've both worn red tights.
I think that's Doug, right?

219
00:09:40,613 --> 00:09:41,680
[Michael] It is Doug.

220
00:09:41,747 --> 00:09:43,483
[Tazz] Doug didn't want any
of Eddie Guerrero's hotdogging,

221
00:09:43,550 --> 00:09:45,418
but that's part of Eddie Guerrero's deal,

222
00:09:45,485 --> 00:09:46,718
you know,
he gets in your head a little bit.

223
00:09:46,819 --> 00:09:48,154
[Michael] Tag made to Danny Basham.

224
00:09:48,221 --> 00:09:50,122
And here are the champions now,
double-teaming Eddie Guerrero,

225
00:09:50,189 --> 00:09:53,159
using the full five-count
from referee Brian Hebner.

226
00:09:53,226 --> 00:09:55,528
[Tazz] And that's the mark
of a great team, the way I see it.

227
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:59,299
And you know, you wanna utilize
that five-count to double up on your man

228
00:09:59,365 --> 00:10:01,266
and weaken your man and soften up,

229
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:03,837
and pick him out as a sacrificial lamb.
Watch this now.

230
00:10:04,170 --> 00:10:06,973
This is a criss-cross choke right here,
very excruciating hold,

231
00:10:07,073 --> 00:10:08,608
-and now breaks the knee…
-[grunts]

232
00:10:08,708 --> 00:10:10,742
…breaks down the knee,
I should say, of Eddie Guerrero.

233
00:10:10,810 --> 00:10:12,212
[Michael]
So it's easier to apply this hold

234
00:10:12,278 --> 00:10:14,079
when a man's on his knees
like Guerrero is now as opposed to--

235
00:10:14,146 --> 00:10:15,314
[Tazz] Because you have all--

236
00:10:15,381 --> 00:10:16,949
Danny Basham
has all the leverage right now

237
00:10:17,016 --> 00:10:19,252
'cause he's behind the man
and he's off the back

238
00:10:19,319 --> 00:10:20,954
and his body is above him,

239
00:10:21,054 --> 00:10:22,722
-his hips are above the opponent.
-[crowd chanting] Eddie!

240
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:24,591
[Michael] And Eddie's speed
negated as well.

241
00:10:24,656 --> 00:10:25,791
[Tazz] Correct. He's grounded.

242
00:10:25,858 --> 00:10:28,194
And the Eddie chants are building--
well, now, they're dying,

243
00:10:28,261 --> 00:10:30,930
they were building nicely
in Pittsburgh here but--

244
00:10:30,997 --> 00:10:33,098
[Michael] Uh-oh, look at Eddie
countering Danny Basham.

245
00:10:33,165 --> 00:10:36,136
The Bashams,
two-time WWE Tag Team Champions.

246
00:10:36,202 --> 00:10:37,904
[Tazz] That's a veteran, Eddie Guerrero,

247
00:10:38,004 --> 00:10:40,273
best way out of that thing
is the back suplex,

248
00:10:40,339 --> 00:10:42,641
the way I see it,
or try to drop toehold out but--

249
00:10:42,709 --> 00:10:43,877
[Michael] Tag made to Doug Basham.

250
00:10:43,943 --> 00:10:46,246
Eddie trying to make it to the corner.
Did he make the tag? No, he didn't.

251
00:10:46,579 --> 00:10:49,281
And again, the Bashams isolating
Eddie Guerrero from his partner.

252
00:10:49,348 --> 00:10:51,985
[Tazz] Okay. So partner, you see there,
Doug dragging Eddie

253
00:10:52,050 --> 00:10:54,219
back to the middle towards his corner.

254
00:10:54,286 --> 00:10:55,288
S.O.D.

255
00:10:55,355 --> 00:10:57,223
-[crowd booing]
-[Tazz] S.O.D., Secretaries of Defense.

256
00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:58,891
You wanna cut the ring off.
There's a cover.

257
00:10:58,958 --> 00:11:00,894
[Michael] Here's the cover,
hook of the leg, and a kick-out.

258
00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:03,696
Hey, Secretaries of Defense
aren't gonna be able to be much help

259
00:11:03,762 --> 00:11:05,832
for JBL tonight in that steel cage match.

260
00:11:05,899 --> 00:11:07,065
[Tazz] No, probably won't.

261
00:11:07,132 --> 00:11:09,736
Neither will the Chief of Staff
Orlando Jordan. I mean, you know.

262
00:11:09,802 --> 00:11:12,038
[Michael] The Cabinet has been nullified,
so to speak,

263
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:14,207
as Doug Basham delivers that right hand.

264
00:11:14,274 --> 00:11:16,175
-[crowd chanting] Eddie!
-[Michael] Eddie whipped into the corner.

265
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:18,778
Oh, crowd has been behind Eddie
since the get-go.

266
00:11:18,844 --> 00:11:21,180
And look at the scoop slam by Doug.

267
00:11:21,247 --> 00:11:22,814
Hooks the leg, shoulders down,

268
00:11:22,882 --> 00:11:24,983
and Rey Mysterio
breaks up the three-count.

269
00:11:25,050 --> 00:11:26,718
[Tazz] Well, that's what Rey's gotta do.

270
00:11:26,786 --> 00:11:29,889
If you wanna leave Pittsburgh
one half of the tag team champions,

271
00:11:29,956 --> 00:11:32,125
you gotta stay ready
if the powerslam make that-- watch out.

272
00:11:32,192 --> 00:11:34,160
[Michael] Nobody home,
Eddie rolled out of the way.

273
00:11:34,227 --> 00:11:35,395
Doug missed from the top rope.

274
00:11:35,461 --> 00:11:38,497
Eddie rolling to the corner,
makes the tag, and here comes Mysterio.

275
00:11:38,997 --> 00:11:41,266
Mysterio, seated senton off the top rope.

276
00:11:41,733 --> 00:11:43,937
-[Tazz] Look at the speed now.
-[Michael] Knocking Danny off the apron.

277
00:11:44,002 --> 00:11:46,206
[Tazz] Don't let him build momentum, Doug.
Don't let him build momentum.

278
00:11:46,271 --> 00:11:47,810
[Michael] Mysterio whipped
across the ring,

279
00:11:47,886 --> 00:11:49,141
-ducks underneath the right hand.
-[Tazz] Oh, boy.

280
00:11:49,209 --> 00:11:51,343
[Michael] There's the crossbody,
lateral press, may have him,

281
00:11:51,411 --> 00:11:53,880
title's on the line,
kick-out by Doug Basham.

282
00:11:54,247 --> 00:11:56,583
[Tazz] Gotta watch that Rey, man,
I'm telling you, he's quick.

283
00:11:56,649 --> 00:11:58,550
He'll just hit you
with a move out of nowhere.

284
00:11:58,918 --> 00:11:59,986
Watch out, watch out.

285
00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:04,257
[Michael] And look at Rey Mysterio,
DDT, planting the Bashams.

286
00:12:04,324 --> 00:12:06,125
Here's the cover, hook to the leg again,

287
00:12:06,192 --> 00:12:08,161
and this time,
it's Danny breaking up the three-count.

288
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:11,164
You know, for Rey Mysterio,
it doesn't matter how big his opponent is.

289
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:12,232
-Size does not matter.
-[Tazz] No.

290
00:12:12,298 --> 00:12:14,867
As you can see there with that bulldog
face-first right there to Doug.

291
00:12:14,934 --> 00:12:16,435
There was a switch, I think.

292
00:12:16,502 --> 00:12:18,036
[Michael] Hey.
Yeah, I think a switch was made.

293
00:12:18,103 --> 00:12:20,073
Referee's back was turned.
No tag was ever made.

294
00:12:20,139 --> 00:12:22,675
Danny Basham not the legal man,
but he's in the ring.

295
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:23,810
[Tazz] Oh, no, wait a minute.

296
00:12:23,876 --> 00:12:26,846
So when Eddie Guerrero cheated,
he did help, you know, in SmackDown

297
00:12:26,913 --> 00:12:28,714
to help Rey win, you were okay with it.

298
00:12:28,781 --> 00:12:29,781
-Suddenly you're not.
-[Michael] Yeah,

299
00:12:29,848 --> 00:12:30,949
because that's a family tradition.

300
00:12:31,016 --> 00:12:32,318
[Tazz] That's a crock of crap.

301
00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:34,087
What's good for the goose
is good for the gander.

302
00:12:34,187 --> 00:12:37,022
[Michael] The Bashams cheated to win
the tag team titles when they took out RVD

303
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:39,726
and then they switched to beat Mysterio
back on SmackDown a few weeks back.

304
00:12:39,791 --> 00:12:43,463
So listen, he deserved what's coming
from them, they need to get caught.

305
00:12:43,529 --> 00:12:44,631
[Tazz] What are you talking about?

306
00:12:44,697 --> 00:12:47,165
So Eddie Guerrero's the only man
who's allowed to cheat

307
00:12:47,233 --> 00:12:48,800
-in the SmackDown locker?
-[Michael] Eddie's got caught

308
00:12:48,867 --> 00:12:51,004
a number of times over the past few weeks,
you know that.

309
00:12:51,069 --> 00:12:53,305
[Tazz] You're actually--
Yeah, I do know that.

310
00:12:53,372 --> 00:12:56,675
[Michael] And look at Danny Basham.
Oh, and a big boot to the midsection.

311
00:12:56,742 --> 00:13:01,347
And Rey Mysterio being picked apart now
by the much more physical Basham Brothers.

312
00:13:01,414 --> 00:13:03,915
[Tazz] Well, it's gut check time
right now for Rey Mysterio.

313
00:13:03,983 --> 00:13:06,519
And we've seen Rey--
into a full nelson there, very painful.

314
00:13:06,586 --> 00:13:09,956
Oh, boy, there's the power,
size difference.

315
00:13:10,022 --> 00:13:13,259
We've seen Rey Mysterio in,
you know, uncompromising positions.

316
00:13:13,325 --> 00:13:15,361
I wouldn't say
a full nelson might be one of them.

317
00:13:15,428 --> 00:13:17,796
Lt's see if Rey can persevere.
I mean, he's tough, no doubt.

318
00:13:17,863 --> 00:13:19,232
[Michael] How do you get out
of a full nelson?

319
00:13:19,299 --> 00:13:20,500
[Tazz] Gotta try and break the grip.

320
00:13:20,565 --> 00:13:22,868
Break the grip, try and pop an arm down,

321
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:25,004
and then switch behind,

322
00:13:25,070 --> 00:13:27,607
you know, go behind,
switch, a standing switch.

323
00:13:27,674 --> 00:13:30,276
[Michael] And this is one instance
where the size may actually

324
00:13:30,343 --> 00:13:31,678
-hurt Mysterio.
-[Eddie] Come on, Rey.

325
00:13:31,743 --> 00:13:34,046
[Tazz] Yeah, because you're given up
height, you're given up leverage there.

326
00:13:34,113 --> 00:13:37,416
And now, right now, Danny Basham's
switching to a reverse bear hug.

327
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:38,483
[crowd booing]

328
00:13:39,618 --> 00:13:42,822
[Tazz] Eddie Guerrero-- I don't know.
They're booing because, uh…

329
00:13:42,889 --> 00:13:45,058
[Michael] Doug Basham pretty confident
on the apron of the ring as Danny…

330
00:13:45,123 --> 00:13:46,526
[Tazz] I've been looking at your suit.

331
00:13:46,592 --> 00:13:48,127
[Michael] …wears down Rey Mysterio.

332
00:13:48,194 --> 00:13:49,529
I have a nice suit on tonight.

333
00:13:49,594 --> 00:13:52,131
[Tazz] And Eddie--
yeah, reverse gut wrench--

334
00:13:52,198 --> 00:13:55,501
reverse bear hug applied
by Danny Basham on Rey Mysterio.

335
00:13:55,568 --> 00:13:56,703
Oh, nice.

336
00:13:56,769 --> 00:13:59,605
[Michael] Rey trying to battle out
with the elbows to the side of the jaw.

337
00:13:59,872 --> 00:14:02,208
WWE Tag Team title's on the line

338
00:14:02,275 --> 00:14:04,577
in the Mellon Arena
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,

339
00:14:04,644 --> 00:14:07,546
first of three titles
here tonight at No Way Out.

340
00:14:07,613 --> 00:14:09,515
[Tazz] Danny just getting hit
in his mouth with those back elbows,

341
00:14:09,582 --> 00:14:13,051
now stomping on the back
of the head of Rey Mysterio.

342
00:14:13,118 --> 00:14:14,954
[Michael] You can never
count Mysterio out.

343
00:14:15,021 --> 00:14:16,789
We've seen the resilience
within the past--

344
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:20,425
just a couple of weeks ago in Japan,
in that quarterfinal matchup

345
00:14:20,492 --> 00:14:22,694
in the Number One Contender's Tournament
against Kurt Angle.

346
00:14:22,795 --> 00:14:25,064
-Mysterio gave it all he had that night.

347
00:14:25,131 --> 00:14:27,800
-So you could never count Mysterio out.
-[Tazz] I know that.

348
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:29,334
No doubt. I agree with that.

349
00:14:29,401 --> 00:14:31,437
-[Brian] What do you say, Rey?
-[Tazz] The Tag Team Champions,

350
00:14:31,536 --> 00:14:33,372
the Bashams,
are putting something on Rey Mysterio.

351
00:14:33,439 --> 00:14:35,274
[Michael] Look at the cheap shot
by Danny Basham.

352
00:14:35,641 --> 00:14:36,976
[Tazz] How is it a cheap shot?

353
00:14:37,075 --> 00:14:39,478
-It's just tag team wrestling 101.
-[Michael] Now, Eddie into the ring.

354
00:14:39,545 --> 00:14:41,714
Referee trying to keep Guerrero
out of the action

355
00:14:41,781 --> 00:14:43,049
and this is gonna allow a double team.

356
00:14:43,116 --> 00:14:46,519
[Tazz] Well, Eddie Guerrero's
got that temper, that Latino temper.

357
00:14:46,586 --> 00:14:48,286
-[crowd cheering]
-[Tazz] A little two on one.

358
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:50,122
Hey, you know what,
like I said earlier…

359
00:14:50,189 --> 00:14:51,089
[crowd jeering]

360
00:14:51,156 --> 00:14:54,293
…hey, Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio,
they cheated the other day on SmackDown,

361
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,995
what's good for the goose is good for--

362
00:14:56,062 --> 00:14:58,897
What, the pot's not black now
when the kettle-- how does that go?

363
00:14:59,498 --> 00:15:01,767
-[Michael] A pot calling the kettle black.
-[Tazz] Yeah.

364
00:15:01,834 --> 00:15:05,137
[Michael] Anyhow, the Bashams doing
a great job isolating Mysterio,

365
00:15:05,204 --> 00:15:07,607
keeping him
in the Bashams' half of the ring.

366
00:15:07,673 --> 00:15:09,108
-Rey needs to make a tag…
-[Tazz] Uh-oh. Oh!

367
00:15:09,175 --> 00:15:10,642
[Michael] …but he's hung up
on the top rope.

368
00:15:10,742 --> 00:15:13,945
A hotshot double team
to Mysterio that time.

369
00:15:14,012 --> 00:15:16,549
Here's the cover, hook of the leg,
and a kick-out again.

370
00:15:16,616 --> 00:15:19,285
The resilience of Mysterio,
but how much does he have left?

371
00:15:19,352 --> 00:15:21,387
[Tazz] Well, I don't know
how much Rey Mysterio has left,

372
00:15:21,454 --> 00:15:24,055
but what smart tag team strategy
by the champions.

373
00:15:24,122 --> 00:15:25,757
They're grounding-- they--

374
00:15:25,824 --> 00:15:28,394
[Michael] That's a blatant chokehold,
by the way, in front of the referee.

375
00:15:28,461 --> 00:15:30,128
-Just wanna point it out.
-[Tazz] Excuse me for--

376
00:15:30,195 --> 00:15:31,363
interrupting while I'm talking.

377
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:33,665
Yeah, but it was a blatant choke.
You know what? That's okay.

378
00:15:33,733 --> 00:15:35,168
You wanna retain your titles.

379
00:15:35,233 --> 00:15:36,569
You've got two big-time heavy--

380
00:15:36,636 --> 00:15:38,337
[Michael] Look at Rey
trying to make it to Eddie.

381
00:15:38,871 --> 00:15:40,872
And Danny Basham grabbing the leg.

382
00:15:42,141 --> 00:15:45,911
[Tazz] And just key moment in the match,
can Rey get a tag to his partner?

383
00:15:45,978 --> 00:15:47,413
-Uh-uh-uh.
-[Michael] And again,

384
00:15:47,479 --> 00:15:49,181
the Bashams isolating Mysterio.

385
00:15:49,247 --> 00:15:50,616
-Doug comes in off the tag.
-One, two!

386
00:15:50,683 --> 00:15:53,218
[Tazz] Yeah, and he's seizing up the leg
to restrain Eddie--

387
00:15:53,286 --> 00:15:56,455
Rey Mysterio in the corner,
to prevent him to get to Guerrero.

388
00:15:56,722 --> 00:15:59,925
[Michael] Great tag team strategy
by Doug and Danny Basham,

389
00:15:59,992 --> 00:16:01,426
the tag team champions here tonight.

390
00:16:01,493 --> 00:16:04,530
I'm sure they'd make their boss,
the champion, JBL, proud.

391
00:16:04,597 --> 00:16:06,766
[Tazz] I think JBL's getting ready
for the first ever

392
00:16:06,833 --> 00:16:08,867
Barbed Wire Steel Cage match
against the Big Show.

393
00:16:08,935 --> 00:16:11,170
But now, Rey Mysterio's-- Oh!

394
00:16:11,771 --> 00:16:13,606
[Michael] Knocking Doug Basham
off the second rope.

395
00:16:13,673 --> 00:16:16,309
Rey Mysterio to the top rope.
What he's gonna do here?

396
00:16:16,375 --> 00:16:17,343
[Tazz] Oh, watch out, watch out.

397
00:16:17,577 --> 00:16:19,078
[Michael] Mysterio,
moonsault from the top rope.

398
00:16:19,145 --> 00:16:20,947
Here's the cover, may have it here,

399
00:16:21,012 --> 00:16:22,882
and Doug Basham just kicked out,

400
00:16:23,015 --> 00:16:25,184
that close to winning the tag team titles.

401
00:16:25,251 --> 00:16:29,387
[Tazz] Well, now Mysterio's got to make
a tag to Eddie Guerrero, but he couldn't.

402
00:16:29,454 --> 00:16:32,157
And that was smart
right there to get Rey up.

403
00:16:32,224 --> 00:16:33,459
What a moonsault that was.

404
00:16:33,526 --> 00:16:34,760
-Oh, my God.
-[Michael] Tremendous moonsault.

405
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:38,930
But again, Rey Mysterio
still isolated by the Bashams,

406
00:16:38,997 --> 00:16:42,367
not able to get to his corner
and his partner Eddie Guerrero.

407
00:16:43,401 --> 00:16:46,405
[Tazz] Right now,
nice head vise right here by Danny Basham.

408
00:16:46,472 --> 00:16:48,241
-What do you say?
-[Tazz] Wow, really, look--

409
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:50,943
Choking the neck. Check out
this moonsault. Look at this technique.

410
00:16:51,077 --> 00:16:53,679
Beautiful moonsault, knees in the face.

411
00:16:53,746 --> 00:16:55,615
-Basham is still, you know…
-[crowd chanting] Let's go, Rey.

412
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,049
[Tazz] -…needing help,
unable to get out of that.

413
00:16:57,116 --> 00:16:58,684
[Michael]
Look at Mysterio reaching out

414
00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:00,520
toward his partner, Eddie Guerrero.

415
00:17:00,585 --> 00:17:02,054
[crowd chanting]
Let's go, Rey. Let's go, Rey.

416
00:17:02,154 --> 00:17:04,723
The "Let's go, Rey" chants
filling the Mellon Arena.

417
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:07,059
[Tazz] Rey's close,
but he's caught in a rear naked choke

418
00:17:07,126 --> 00:17:08,860
by Danny Basham right now.

419
00:17:09,328 --> 00:17:10,796
Referee's in the right spot.

420
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,330
-Brian Hebner, once you see--
-Let's go. Come on.

421
00:17:12,397 --> 00:17:13,665
[Tazz] No, wait, he's holding the rope.

422
00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:15,268
-He's holding the rope.
-[Brian] Come on.

423
00:17:15,334 --> 00:17:17,669
-[Michael] Guerrero has the tag rope.
-[Tazz] How long is that rope?

424
00:17:17,736 --> 00:17:19,539
-There was two of 'em.
-[Michael] I don't know.

425
00:17:19,605 --> 00:17:22,508
I think referee Brian Hebner just said
there were two tag ropes on there.

426
00:17:22,575 --> 00:17:24,109
[Brian] No, no, no, no. Hey!

427
00:17:24,175 --> 00:17:25,912
[Michael] Yeah,
he said there were two tag ropes there.

428
00:17:26,012 --> 00:17:28,748
-So did Eddie tie the two together?
-Out, let's go. Come on, let's go.

429
00:17:28,813 --> 00:17:30,683
-[Tazz laughs] He might've.
-Come on!

430
00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:34,186
[Michael laughs] You can't put anything
past Eddie Guerrero.

431
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:36,923
So, now we're back to the normal length.

432
00:17:36,989 --> 00:17:38,524
[Tazz laughs] He's not doing
his partner any favors.

433
00:17:38,658 --> 00:17:40,993
He can't get in the ring,
you know, he's got a very long rope.

434
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:42,828
-[Michael] He's trying to--
-[Tazz] Wait a minute. That was your line.

435
00:17:42,895 --> 00:17:44,430
You should say he's got a very long rope.

436
00:17:44,496 --> 00:17:46,465
[Michael] He's trying to do everything
he can to get into the ring.

437
00:17:46,532 --> 00:17:49,502
And Mysterio with the elbows and again,
a clubbing blow to the back of the neck

438
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:50,703
by Danny Basham.

439
00:17:50,770 --> 00:17:54,974
Tag made to Doug and the Bashams continue
to wear down the smaller man, Mysterio.

440
00:17:55,474 --> 00:17:56,876
-Look at Rey Mysterio.
-[Tazz] Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

441
00:17:56,943 --> 00:17:58,277
-[Michael] What's this?
-[Tazz] Oh, my God.

442
00:17:58,344 --> 00:18:00,178
[Michael] Face-first goes Mysterio.

443
00:18:00,245 --> 00:18:02,848
This one is over
for all intents and purposes.

444
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:04,350
[Tazz] Great teamwork. Here's the cover.

445
00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:05,851
-Rey's out.
-[Michael] Mysterio's out.

446
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:08,354
Eddie Guerrero
breaks up the three-count.

447
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:10,990
But I think that Rey Mysterio
may be out cold.

448
00:18:11,857 --> 00:18:15,061
[Tazz] Rey landed-- man,
I tell you what, face-first.

449
00:18:15,127 --> 00:18:18,129
[Michael] Did you see that double team?
And Rey still battling back.

450
00:18:18,197 --> 00:18:21,033
-[Tazz] I heard the double team.
-[Michael] Another kick to the midsection.

451
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:23,402
And a shot to Doug,
knocking him off the apron.

452
00:18:23,869 --> 00:18:25,303
[Tazz] Well, Rey is a fighter.
You know what?

453
00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:27,005
You said it earlier,
you can't count him out.

454
00:18:27,072 --> 00:18:28,908
[Michael] Rey Mysterio up over the top,
lands on his feet,

455
00:18:28,975 --> 00:18:30,543
ducks underneath the legs,
off the ropes--

456
00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:32,011
-Leapfrog.
-[Tazz] Look at this. [laughs]

457
00:18:32,078 --> 00:18:34,447
[Michael] Rey Mysterio's got the Bashams
running around in circles.

458
00:18:34,513 --> 00:18:35,880
[Tazz] Whoa! He's got equal range.

459
00:18:35,947 --> 00:18:38,117
-[Michael] And here comes Eddie.
-[Tazz] How did he do that?

460
00:18:38,184 --> 00:18:40,886
[Michael] Eddie Guerrero
exploding over the top rope.

461
00:18:40,986 --> 00:18:42,421
Standing dropkick.

462
00:18:43,723 --> 00:18:45,091
[Tazz] Latino Heat now.

463
00:18:45,591 --> 00:18:47,659
-How did Mysterio do that?
-[crowd chanting] Eddie! Eddie!

464
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,830
[Michael] Tag titles are on the line
as the Eddie chants begin.

465
00:18:50,896 --> 00:18:52,298
Guerrero is rolling.

466
00:18:52,365 --> 00:18:54,100
Dropkick to Doug Basham.

467
00:18:55,167 --> 00:18:56,101
Come on.

468
00:18:56,202 --> 00:18:57,703
[Tazz] Oh, right now,
Eddie Guerrero knows

469
00:18:57,803 --> 00:19:00,639
this is the point in the match--
oh, check this out. Look at this.

470
00:19:00,706 --> 00:19:02,742
[Michael] Eddie, top rope,
headscissors, arm drag.

471
00:19:02,808 --> 00:19:03,809
[crowd cheering]

472
00:19:03,876 --> 00:19:06,078
[Michael] Vintage Eddie Guerrero
here at No Way Out.

473
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:07,346
-[Tazz] One, two.
-[Michael] The cover,

474
00:19:07,413 --> 00:19:09,081
and it's Doug breaking up the three-count.

475
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:10,582
So close for Eddie Guerrero.

476
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:14,820
[Tazz] Rey Mysterio tried to get in,
but, ah, I don't think he's all there.

477
00:19:14,887 --> 00:19:17,423
I mean, he got whupped pretty good
out here by the Bashams.

478
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:19,024
[Michael] And the double team
by the Bashams.

479
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,960
Eddie slammed to the mat below.

480
00:19:21,092 --> 00:19:22,261
[Tazz] Here we go. Cover, cover.

481
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:23,562
[Michael] Here's the cover,
hook of the leg.

482
00:19:23,629 --> 00:19:26,631
Will the Bashams do it here?
Eddie just rolled the shoulder out.

483
00:19:26,732 --> 00:19:28,501
-[crowd booing]
-[Tazz] That was close.

484
00:19:28,567 --> 00:19:30,168
[Michael] Danny Basham
thought he had a three-count.

485
00:19:30,235 --> 00:19:33,039
Again, the double team begins
for the Basham Brothers.

486
00:19:33,472 --> 00:19:35,174
[Tazz] Look at this,
going for a double vertical.

487
00:19:35,241 --> 00:19:36,242
Are they're gonna--

488
00:19:36,308 --> 00:19:38,811
[Michael] Look at Mysterio--
sprung up on Eddie.

489
00:19:38,878 --> 00:19:40,613
Hook of the leg, and a kick-out.

490
00:19:40,679 --> 00:19:44,116
Wow, that was innovative by Mysterio,
and Eddie Guerrero taking advantage.

491
00:19:44,183 --> 00:19:46,351
[Tazz] I don't think--
it was one count away,

492
00:19:46,418 --> 00:19:49,754
but I don't think that was a planned move
on the challengers' part.

493
00:19:49,822 --> 00:19:51,924
[Michael] Desperation, instinct,
call it what you like,

494
00:19:51,991 --> 00:19:55,394
as Rey is driven back-first
into that barricade outside the ring and--

495
00:19:55,461 --> 00:19:57,163
-[crowd chatter]
-[Michael] What's Eddie doing?

496
00:19:57,229 --> 00:19:58,798
[Tazz] Looks like he's-- wherever the--

497
00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:00,633
-[Michael] Tag team titles--
-[Tazz] Whoa, hold on.

498
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:01,833
-Hey.
-I'm gonna take this to--

499
00:20:01,934 --> 00:20:03,436
-[Rey] No, no, no.
-[Eddie] What do you mean no?

500
00:20:03,502 --> 00:20:05,137
-[overlapping chatter]
-[Rey] No.

501
00:20:05,236 --> 00:20:06,504
Get rid of the belt.

502
00:20:06,572 --> 00:20:07,473
No.

503
00:20:07,740 --> 00:20:09,408
[Rey] No, no.

504
00:20:09,475 --> 00:20:11,143
[crowd clamoring]

505
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:15,214
[Tazz] The cooler heads prevail,
and Rey Mysterio telling Eddie Guerrero

506
00:20:15,281 --> 00:20:18,117
to chill out, don't do that,
but Eddie Guerrero's going up top, Cole.

507
00:20:18,184 --> 00:20:20,985
[Michael] Going for the frog splash,
and Eddie rolled through.

508
00:20:21,553 --> 00:20:22,620
Eddie rolled through.

509
00:20:22,687 --> 00:20:27,560
[Tazz] But I'm thinking that Doug Basham
thought-- wait a minute.

510
00:20:28,561 --> 00:20:29,762
-Yeah.
-[Michael laughs]

511
00:20:29,829 --> 00:20:32,298
[Tazz] Man, this guy. I don't think
Eddie Guerrero-- how's he doing this?

512
00:20:32,764 --> 00:20:34,066
[Michael] He's unbelievable.

513
00:20:34,133 --> 00:20:37,069
Well, Doug Basham believes Eddie
missed the frog splash is what he thinks.

514
00:20:37,136 --> 00:20:38,169
[Tazz] There's a small package.

515
00:20:38,236 --> 00:20:41,072
[Michael] Small package, rolls him up,
and a kick-out, almost had him.

516
00:20:41,139 --> 00:20:43,375
-Eddie almost had Doug Basham.
-[crowd booing]

517
00:20:44,009 --> 00:20:45,543
[Tazz] That was so close.

518
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:47,178
So, so close.

519
00:20:48,514 --> 00:20:50,950
[Michael] Eddie Guerrero
almost had Doug Basham.

520
00:20:51,015 --> 00:20:52,017
[Tazz] Now what?

521
00:20:52,083 --> 00:20:54,954
[Michael] Danny Basham just tossed
the belt to Eddie who tossed it to Doug.

522
00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:56,722
Hey, give me the belt.

523
00:20:56,789 --> 00:20:58,624
-[overlapping chatter]
-[crowd chatter]

524
00:20:58,691 --> 00:21:00,960
[Tazz] Looks like Doug tossed it to…

[overlapping chatter]

526
00:21:04,597 --> 00:21:05,664
[Tazz] There's the other--

527
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:07,133
[Michael] Wait a minute.
There's the other--

528
00:21:07,198 --> 00:21:09,568
Basham to have it.
Championship off the skull.

[Tazz] Hey, wait a minute.

530
00:21:10,970 --> 00:21:12,370
[Michael] 619 for Mysterio.

531
00:21:12,437 --> 00:21:13,606
[Tazz] What the hell is going--
what happened--

532
00:21:13,672 --> 00:21:15,040
[Michael] Eddie into the cover.

533
00:21:15,140 --> 00:21:16,075

WWE Tag Team Champions,

539
00:21:30,656 --> 00:21:35,528
Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio.

540
00:21:35,594 --> 00:21:37,229
[Tazz] I know two things right now, Cole.

541
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:40,933
We got new tag team champions,
Rey Mysterio and Guerrero,

542
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,435
and the other thing is I don't even know
how to call what happened.

543
00:21:43,502 --> 00:21:44,970
-[Michael laughs]
-[Tazz] But that was huge.

544
00:21:45,037 --> 00:21:46,237
I'm serious.

545
00:21:46,304 --> 00:21:48,541
[Michael] But what a celebration
for the good friends

546
00:21:48,607 --> 00:21:51,243
Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero,

547
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:53,646
two of the greatest
Latino superstars in history

548
00:21:53,712 --> 00:21:56,447
climb the mountain here tonight
at No Way Out

549
00:21:56,514 --> 00:21:58,283
and win the tag team gold.

550
00:21:58,350 --> 00:22:00,418
[Tazz] I mean,
how many misdirections-- I mean, the--

551
00:22:00,485 --> 00:22:01,453
a sleight of hand

552
00:22:01,553 --> 00:22:03,989
and then a title flying,
and another one flying.

553
00:22:04,356 --> 00:22:07,326
Basham, I-- what the hell--
I don't even know what happened.

554
00:22:07,458 --> 00:22:08,427
♪ I can't be weak… ♪

555
00:22:08,961 --> 00:22:10,729
[Michael] Well, early in the match,
this happened.

556
00:22:10,796 --> 00:22:14,166
Rey Mysterio showing us
how he can get out of trouble.

557
00:22:14,233 --> 00:22:15,801
He fought, did he ever.

558
00:22:15,868 --> 00:22:18,771
[Tazz] He fought baseless,
did a forward roll and tagged.

559
00:22:18,838 --> 00:22:19,871
I mean, he's so quick.

560
00:22:19,938 --> 00:22:23,509
And then Latino Heat came in,
with both guns rolling, man.

561
00:22:24,210 --> 00:22:25,644
Extension in the body like that--

562
00:22:25,711 --> 00:22:28,681
[Michael] Now watch this, as the referee
got rid of the one tag title,

563
00:22:28,746 --> 00:22:31,884
Rey Mysterio tossed
the other tag title to his partner.

564
00:22:32,051 --> 00:22:33,319
Eddie Guerrero used it.

565
00:22:33,385 --> 00:22:36,355
So at first,
Rey Mysterio didn't wanna cheat to win,

566
00:22:36,422 --> 00:22:38,991
but once the Bashams tried to do it,
Rey said, "What the heck?"

567
00:22:39,058 --> 00:22:40,826
"We're gonna win the titles here tonight."

568
00:22:40,893 --> 00:22:42,360
-[crowd] One, two, three.
-[Tazz] I'll tell you what.

569
00:22:42,428 --> 00:22:43,596
I don't blame Rey.

570
00:22:43,662 --> 00:22:48,266
We got new Tag Team Champions
at No Way Out here in Pittsburgh

571
00:22:48,333 --> 00:22:51,303
and what a matchup. [laughs]

572
00:22:51,403 --> 00:22:53,839
[Michael] What a way to kick off
No Way Out.

573
00:22:53,938 --> 00:22:55,640
-[Tazz] I'm dizzy.
-[Michael laughs]

574
00:22:55,808 --> 00:22:57,275
I'll tell you, how do they do it?

575
00:22:57,342 --> 00:22:59,011
[Tazz] I don't-- I don't know.

576
00:22:59,078 --> 00:23:02,248
I'm thinking Eddie Guerrero is
the master of the-- what do you call it?

577
00:23:02,313 --> 00:23:03,649
The mastermind of the whole thing.

578
00:23:03,716 --> 00:23:05,384
[Michael] You think
he sits up at night,

579
00:23:05,451 --> 00:23:06,851
thinks up these weird concoctions?

580
00:23:06,918 --> 00:23:09,355
[Tazz] Yeah, he's like a strategist,
like an offensive coordinator type of guy,

581
00:23:09,421 --> 00:23:11,557
you know, and he thinks of these ways
that he'll cheat to win.

582
00:23:11,624 --> 00:23:12,491
It's amazing.

583
00:23:12,591 --> 00:23:15,860
[Michael] But what a wonderful sight
tonight in Pittsburgh,

584
00:23:15,928 --> 00:23:18,464
Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio

585
00:23:18,530 --> 00:23:21,000

Everything just like I planned it.

a good night tonight, player.

In fact, when Batista gets here,

595
00:23:38,050 --> 00:23:40,953
I want you to make him
completely comfortable.

596
00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:44,223
Now, this room is great,
but I want him to have food,

water, drinks, whatever he wants,

598
00:23:47,126 --> 00:23:48,894
make sure you bring it to this room.

00:23:48,961 --> 00:23:50,361
-I'm on it.
-Can you handle that, player?

Oh, lordy.

You know, you know
how to rain on a parade, dawg.

What do you mean?

606
00:24:02,541 --> 00:24:05,977
I just wanted to introduce you
to someone very important.

607
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:10,716
This is Mrs. Becca Rodriguez,
the wife of David Rodriguez,

608
00:24:11,516 --> 00:24:13,452
you know,
a member of the board of directors?

609
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:17,121
Well, Mrs. Rodriguez, Theodore Long,
general manager of SmackDown.

610
00:24:17,188 --> 00:24:18,691
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

611
00:24:18,756 --> 00:24:20,826
-You enjoying the show, so far?
-Very much so.

612
00:24:20,893 --> 00:24:21,927
All right.

613
00:24:21,994 --> 00:24:23,995
I thought Rey Mysterio
and Eddie Guerrero was--

614
00:24:24,062 --> 00:24:25,965
winning the tag titles was very exciting.

615
00:24:26,031 --> 00:24:27,499
-Very exciting, yes.
-Yeah, that was off the chain.

616
00:24:27,566 --> 00:24:29,835
But I have to tell you, my husband and I
are really looking forward

617
00:24:29,902 --> 00:24:31,937
to seeing if you're going to sign Batista
to SmackDown.

618
00:24:32,004 --> 00:24:33,772
I would love to see Batista
on SmackDown.

619
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:35,139
I'm going to do my best.

620
00:24:35,206 --> 00:24:36,475
I'm sure you will.

621
00:24:36,708 --> 00:24:38,409
Well, I just wanted to say hello.

622
00:24:38,476 --> 00:24:40,879
And I'd like to get back to my seat
before the next match starts, so…

623
00:24:40,946 --> 00:24:43,115
Once again, nice to have met you.
Enjoy the rest of the show.

624
00:24:43,182 --> 00:24:44,216
It's shizzle fizzle.

625
00:24:44,283 --> 00:24:46,851
Shizzle and all that fizzle stuff. Right.
[chuckles]

626
00:24:48,187 --> 00:24:51,290
You know, that Mrs. Rodriguez
really seems to enjoy my company.

627
00:24:51,357 --> 00:24:52,256
Is that right?

628
00:24:52,323 --> 00:24:55,527
-And her husband, he's a big fan too.
-[scoffs]

629
00:24:55,593 --> 00:24:58,964
[chuckles] So, naturally, we were talking
about the board of directors and she--

630
00:24:59,031 --> 00:24:59,965
Let me guess.

631
00:25:00,666 --> 00:25:03,569
You were talking about getting me fired
as general manager.

632
00:25:03,635 --> 00:25:06,004
Actually,
I didn't even have to bring it up.

633
00:25:06,572 --> 00:25:09,541
She told me that the board
is waiting to make their decision

634
00:25:09,942 --> 00:25:13,579
until they see how this whole
Batista situation turns out.

635
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:19,118
So it looks like
if you don't sign Batista,

636
00:25:20,619 --> 00:25:21,954
you might be out of a job.

637
00:25:22,754 --> 00:25:23,755
And that?

638
00:25:25,624 --> 00:25:26,625

[Michael] The evening gown competition.

00:27:13,564 --> 00:27:15,833
And what do you guys think
of Joy's evening gown?

683
00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:18,537
[Torrie] Pink is my favorite color.
She looks very hot.

684
00:27:18,603 --> 00:27:19,838
[Tazz] What do you think, Dawn?

685
00:27:19,905 --> 00:27:21,807
[Dawn] Well, I guess if you like
the good girl syndrome then--

686
00:27:21,874 --> 00:27:23,108
-[Michael] Whoa.
-[Tazz] Whoo.

687
00:27:23,175 --> 00:27:24,376
[Dawn] To me, that's pretty blunt.

688
00:27:24,443 --> 00:27:26,477
-[Tazz] I didn't hear you. It's very what?
-[Torrie] Dawn wouldn't know anything

689
00:27:26,544 --> 00:27:27,745
about being a good girl, would she?

690
00:27:27,812 --> 00:27:30,448
[Dawn] Honey, I'd like to say
I live a very adventurous life.

691
00:27:30,816 --> 00:27:31,817
[Torrie] Right.

692
00:27:31,884 --> 00:27:35,187
[Chimel] Up next, it's Rochelle Loewen.

693
00:27:35,254 --> 00:27:37,188
[Michael] Well, Rochelle Loewen,
a Playboy model,

694
00:27:37,255 --> 00:27:39,057
Miss Hawaiian Tropic Canada.

695
00:27:39,124 --> 00:27:40,591
What do you think of her gown, Dawn?

696
00:27:40,658 --> 00:27:41,994
[Dawn] I think she was
just jumping around.

697
00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:43,495
What is this, Betty Boop?

698
00:27:43,829 --> 00:27:45,030
[Michael] Betty Boop?

699
00:27:45,097 --> 00:27:47,032
[Dawn] She's jumping up and down.
I thought this was a Diva contest.

700
00:27:47,099 --> 00:27:48,567
[Tazz] What about you, Torrie,
what do you think?

701
00:27:48,634 --> 00:27:51,003

she's extremely hot.

[Michael] Now, what about
Lauren Jones, Torrie?

705
00:27:57,376 --> 00:28:00,212
[Torrie] Lauren Jones,
I got-- I love blonde hair.

706
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:01,547
[Tazz] Yes, me too.

707
00:28:01,612 --> 00:28:03,081
[Torrie] She's a little
Barbie doll, isn't she?

708
00:28:03,148 --> 00:28:05,216
[Dawn] Yeah, exactly,
a blow-up Barbie doll.

709
00:28:05,283 --> 00:28:09,487
What does that have to do
with being the new Rookie Diva?

710
00:28:09,620 --> 00:28:11,790
-[Torrie] Don't be jealous, Dawn.
-[Dawn] I'm not jealous.

711
00:28:11,857 --> 00:28:14,259
Not that-- you wouldn't know anything
about being a blow-up Barbie doll.

712
00:28:14,326 --> 00:28:16,195
[Tazz] I feel like
I'm on American Idol over here.

713

[Chimel] And our final contestant,
Michelle McCool.

[Michael] American Idol?

715
00:28:22,301 --> 00:28:23,735
[Tazz] Yeah, but, Dawn,
what are you, like, Simon?

716
00:28:23,802 --> 00:28:25,571
And Torrie, you're like Paula Abdul?

00:28:26,672 --> 00:28:28,307

-[Dawn] What is this?

719
00:28:28,372 --> 00:28:31,143
-Like, schoolteachers are entering now?
-[Tazz] A personal tr--

720
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:32,843
-What do you think of Michelle?
-[Torrie] Schoolteachers?

721
00:28:32,910 --> 00:28:35,147
I'm sure she could teach you a thing
or two about class there, Dawn.

722

-[Dawn] Oh, honey.
-[Tazz] Oh.

-[Dawn] No one could teach me anything.

let them write your material, Tazz.

Well, I'll tell you what,

these lovely young ladies here,

laughing at him for losing to John Cena.

at the fact that--

-…my entire life!
-[crowd] What?

805
00:32:10,061 --> 00:32:14,599
And that was a poem by Heidenreich.

806
00:32:14,765 --> 00:32:16,767
[crowd jeering]

807
00:32:17,535 --> 00:32:19,571
-[Booker T] ♪ Can you dig it, sucka? ♪
-[crowd cheering]

808
00:32:19,638 --> 00:32:22,407
["Can You Dig It?" playing]

809
00:32:23,841 --> 00:32:25,776
[Chimel] And from Houston, Texas,

810
00:32:25,843 --> 00:32:28,547
weighing in at 256 pounds,

811
00:32:29,246 --> 00:32:31,449
Booker T.

812
00:32:31,515 --> 00:32:36,754
[Booker T] ♪ Can you dig it, sucka? ♪

813
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:40,559
[explosions]

814
00:32:40,625 --> 00:32:43,594
[Michael] You have to believe
that Booker T is in--

815
00:32:44,062 --> 00:32:45,764
well, not in a good mood tonight.

816
00:32:45,831 --> 00:32:46,997
He gave it his all.

817
00:32:47,098 --> 00:32:49,533
It was a hell of a matchup
three nights ago

818
00:32:49,601 --> 00:32:52,736
in the semifinals
of the Number One Contender's Tournament

819
00:32:52,803 --> 00:32:56,408
before Booker T came out of the short end
against John Cena.

820
00:32:57,742 --> 00:33:00,846
And Booker T upset backstage
after that matchup,

821
00:33:00,911 --> 00:33:04,549
ran into this man
who claims he's not crazy, Heidenreich.

822
00:33:04,616 --> 00:33:07,485
[Tazz] Also, I mean, with that poem,
that masterpiece poem.

823
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:09,020
[Michael] Masterpiece?

824
00:33:09,087 --> 00:33:10,655
He's a regular old Robert Frost.

825
00:33:10,722 --> 00:33:13,225
[Tazz] Go easy now.
Talking about Christmastime.

826
00:33:13,291 --> 00:33:16,127
Oh, Heidenreich feels
that Booker T made fun of him.

827
00:33:16,194 --> 00:33:19,197
And that's what I got out of the poem,
that Heidenreich claims he has

828
00:33:19,264 --> 00:33:20,698
-so much good inside…
-[bell ringing]

829
00:33:20,764 --> 00:33:23,368
[Tazz] …"he" being Heidenreich.
And it's just waiting to be shown.

830
00:33:23,935 --> 00:33:25,169
Give the guy a chance, Michael, that's--

831
00:33:25,236 --> 00:33:27,072
[Michael] I don't believe Heidenreich
has any feelings, Tazz.

832
00:33:27,171 --> 00:33:29,908
[Tazz] I don't know about that, Cole.
What are you, a psychiatrist?

833
00:33:30,007 --> 00:33:32,444
[Michael] Look here. Lock up,
center of the ring. So if you're Booker T,

834
00:33:32,511 --> 00:33:34,579
how do you go into this matchup
against Heidenreich,

835
00:33:34,646 --> 00:33:36,014
a man who's so unpredictable,

836
00:33:36,081 --> 00:33:38,015
-a man who's so unstable?
-[Tazz] Well, you gotta try

837
00:33:38,116 --> 00:33:41,285
and break him down. I mean,
Heidenreich is a little bit bigger,

838
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:43,522
physically bigger than Booker T,
which is not often.

839
00:33:43,588 --> 00:33:45,956
Booker is a big dude, big man,
big superstar,

840
00:33:46,024 --> 00:33:47,993
-but I'll tell you what, Heidenreich…
-[Jon shouts indistinctly]

841
00:33:48,059 --> 00:33:49,793
[Tazz] …try and get in his head
a little bit if you could.

842
00:33:50,094 --> 00:33:52,464
frustrate him,
and hopefully he makes a mistake.

843
00:33:52,531 --> 00:33:54,533
[Michael] And you have to wonder
how much that match,

844
00:33:54,599 --> 00:33:56,568
that marathon match on SmackDown

845
00:33:56,635 --> 00:33:59,004
this past Thursday night,
took out of Booker T.

846
00:33:59,070 --> 00:34:01,171
Straight right hand
by Heidenreich and another,

847
00:34:01,238 --> 00:34:02,908
dropping Booker T to the canvas.

848
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:04,609
[Tazz] We've seen Heidenreich,

849
00:34:05,709 --> 00:34:08,947
we've seen him before throw hands
and he can throw those fists.

850
00:34:09,014 --> 00:34:10,482
There's no doubt about that.

851
00:34:10,614 --> 00:34:13,585
[Michael] Heidenreich with those
illegal punches, ignoring the referee.

852
00:34:13,652 --> 00:34:14,920
A bit unstable.

853
00:34:14,985 --> 00:34:17,188
One thing about Heidenreich,
he has a conversation with himself

854
00:34:17,255 --> 00:34:18,290
in the ring during the match.

855
00:34:18,355 --> 00:34:20,424
Here's the cover,
hook of the leg, and a kick-out.

856
00:34:21,025 --> 00:34:22,493
[Tazz] I don't think
there's anything wrong

857
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:23,694
with having a conversation with yourself

858
00:34:23,795 --> 00:34:25,130
as long as you don't start
answering yourself.

859
00:34:25,196 --> 00:34:26,864
Sometimes Heidenreich might do that,
I don't know,

860
00:34:26,931 --> 00:34:28,699
but just there, that nice kick,

861
00:34:28,766 --> 00:34:31,870
that duck-under neck kick
by Booker, very well placed.

862
00:34:32,170 --> 00:34:33,371
-Oh.
-[screams]

863
00:34:34,172 --> 00:34:36,708
[Tazz]
Now, that was quite a pop right there.

864
00:34:36,775 --> 00:34:37,875
Chop across the chest.

865
00:34:38,375 --> 00:34:41,212
See, if you're Heidenreich,
you don't wanna let Booker T

866
00:34:41,279 --> 00:34:44,014
build up some mome--
Whoa, what's Heidenreich there?

867
00:34:44,081 --> 00:34:46,451
-[Michael] I have no idea.
-[Tazz] He's hitting himself there.

868
00:34:46,817 --> 00:34:49,054
[Michael] Very unorthodox,
to say the least.

869
00:34:49,154 --> 00:34:51,589
Here's the reversal.
Booker T whipped across the ring.

870
00:34:51,656 --> 00:34:54,558
Oh, high elbow caught Booker T in the jaw.

871
00:34:54,625 --> 00:34:56,728
Now, Booker T rolling out
of the ring to catch his breath.

872
00:34:56,795 --> 00:34:57,996
[Jon] That's crazy.

873
00:34:58,063 --> 00:35:00,365
[Tazz] Where you wanna hit somebody
is in the jaw, for one.

874
00:35:00,432 --> 00:35:03,234
Hit him in his chest and if you can,
you know, catch him in his jaw,

875
00:35:03,301 --> 00:35:05,737
try and hit him in the back
and knock him out if you can.

876
00:35:05,971 --> 00:35:08,640
[Michael] Heidenreich saying to the crowd
as he was getting out of the ring,

877
00:35:08,707 --> 00:35:09,774
"I'm not crazy."

878
00:35:10,075 --> 00:35:13,912
Booker T with a kick to the midsection,
bouncing the head off the steel steps.

879
00:35:13,979 --> 00:35:16,114
I don't know how much damage
you do doing that though.

880
00:35:16,348 --> 00:35:19,584
[Tazz] Well, if you're banging a man's
head into steel steps, that could--

881
00:35:19,651 --> 00:35:21,152
[Michael] It might square
what's up there though,

882
00:35:21,219 --> 00:35:23,721
if you know what I mean.
Booker T is back into the ring.

883
00:35:24,522 --> 00:35:27,292
[Tazz] I don't like that you--
I really think that's wrong of you

884
00:35:27,359 --> 00:35:30,395
to just pass judgment on Heidenreich.
That's my opinion. I don't think that--

885
00:35:30,462 --> 00:35:32,864
[Michael] Did you just forget what
this man did to me? Now, look at that.

886
00:35:32,931 --> 00:35:34,065
-Big right hand. Oh!
-[Tazz] Oh!

887
00:35:34,132 --> 00:35:37,067
-[Michael] And a kick to the jaw.
-[Tazz] He got close. What am I--

888
00:35:37,134 --> 00:35:39,770
[Michael] Booker T hooks the leg,
shoulders down,

889
00:35:39,837 --> 00:35:41,272
and Heidenreich kicked out.

890
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:44,609
[Tazz] Well, Booker T--
now, this is the veteran Booker T,

891
00:35:44,676 --> 00:35:46,176
a five-time WCW Champion.

892
00:35:46,243 --> 00:35:49,848
Well, I'm gonna say it, good point
and the master trying to stay focused,

893
00:35:49,913 --> 00:35:51,583
try and zoom in on a win,
but Heidenreich--

894
00:35:51,650 --> 00:35:54,853
[Michael] Oh. What a slam.
Now, there's the power of Heidenreich.

895
00:35:55,453 --> 00:35:58,123
The near 300-pounder,
goes about 6'8".

896
00:35:58,556 --> 00:36:00,058
You about to see crazy!

897
00:36:00,725 --> 00:36:02,093
Look. [screams]

898
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,730
[Michael] Oh, what a clothesline,
turned Booker T inside out.

899
00:36:05,797 --> 00:36:07,866
[Tazz] Well, talk about main event
WrestleMania,

900
00:36:07,932 --> 00:36:10,201
I mean, Booker T knows something
about that, you know what I mean?

901
00:36:10,268 --> 00:36:12,037
The match-- uh-oh, watch this.
Let's check this out.

902
00:36:12,537 --> 00:36:14,606
[Michael] Nice, little right hand
and there's the kick to the jaw.

903
00:36:14,673 --> 00:36:16,975
But since then,
Heidenreich has taken over.

904
00:36:17,042 --> 00:36:18,043
[Tazz] But that's what it's about.

905
00:36:18,109 --> 00:36:20,145
The Road to WrestleMania
starts now, and Booker T was there.

906
00:36:20,211 --> 00:36:22,647
[Michael] Yeah, Booker T was in
the main event at WrestleMania once

907
00:36:22,714 --> 00:36:25,216
and tonight, Kurt Angle
or John Cena will be there.

908
00:36:25,283 --> 00:36:27,452
JBL or the Big Show will be there.

909
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:29,621
And of course, the wildcard is Batista.

910
00:36:29,688 --> 00:36:31,423
-This is y'all's champ.
-[Michael] He's expected here tonight,

911
00:36:31,489 --> 00:36:33,391
the general manager's waiting for him,

912
00:36:33,458 --> 00:36:36,895
and Batista tomorrow night on Raw
expected to make his decision.

913
00:36:36,961 --> 00:36:39,096
Will he sign with SmackDown?
Will he sign with Raw?

914
00:36:39,163 --> 00:36:41,566
Here's the cover,
shoulders down, kick-out.

915
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:43,801
-What do you think he's gonna do?
-[Tazz] I don't know.

916
00:36:43,868 --> 00:36:45,103
-What, Batista?
-[Michael] Batista.

917
00:36:45,170 --> 00:36:47,038
[Tazz] I don't know.
I hope, he-- I personally--

918
00:36:47,105 --> 00:36:48,306
[Michael] I hope he's here.

919
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:49,908
I'd love to have him here.

920
00:36:50,709 --> 00:36:53,144
[Tazz] Now, a keylock--
a little top wrist lock, keylock

921
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:56,413
applied by Jon Heidenreich
on Booker T here.

922
00:36:56,481 --> 00:36:59,851
[Michael] Well, I think Heidenreich
is biting the forearm of Booker T as well.

923
00:37:00,618 --> 00:37:02,953
[Tazz] Maybe.
I don't know. I mean--

924
00:37:04,689 --> 00:37:07,659
[Michael] Booker T chants, trying to get
Booker back into this matchup.

925
00:37:08,293 --> 00:37:10,828
Heidenreich is really working
on that left arm of Booker T.

926
00:37:10,895 --> 00:37:14,499
Oh. Booker, shot to the ribs,
now an elbow,

927
00:37:14,566 --> 00:37:16,468
Booker trying to battle out
of the predicament and he does.

928
00:37:17,168 --> 00:37:19,203
-Slapped right across the chest.
-[Tazz] He got some chops underneath--

929
00:37:19,370 --> 00:37:21,205
-Oh!
-[Michael] Oh, and a boot by Heidenreich.

930
00:37:22,674 --> 00:37:24,942
[Tazz] Very well-placed boot right there.
Here we go. Here's the cover.

931
00:37:25,076 --> 00:37:28,313
[Michael] Hook of the leg,
shoulders down, kick-out by Booker T.

932
00:37:28,379 --> 00:37:30,080
[Tazz] And Booker T kicking out,

933
00:37:30,147 --> 00:37:34,219
it takes a lot to take out a man
like Booker T and that's smart.

934
00:37:34,586 --> 00:37:37,989
You say this guy is crazy, Heidenreich,
I don't know looks like he got a strategy.

935
00:37:38,056 --> 00:37:40,825
He went back to the keylock,
back to that top wrist lock.

936
00:37:41,058 --> 00:37:42,460
[Michael] That's easy peasy.

937
00:37:42,961 --> 00:37:44,962
[Tazz] Staying focused
on pinpointing a body part.

938
00:37:45,029 --> 00:37:46,598
-Shut up.
-[Michael] He's doing that.

939
00:37:46,663 --> 00:37:49,134
-I mean, you make a great point.
-[Tazz] Thank you. Thank you.

940
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,602
Sometimes, I guess I do do that.

941
00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:52,370
[Michael] That's why you're the best
color analyst in the business.

942
00:37:52,437 --> 00:37:54,705
-[Tazz] You damn skippy hippie.
-[Michael] At least on SmackDown.

943
00:37:54,772 --> 00:37:59,109
And look at Heidenreich really working
on that left arm of Booker T.

944
00:37:59,176 --> 00:38:00,712
[crowd chatter]

945
00:38:00,779 --> 00:38:02,714
[Michael] He's a strange individual.

946
00:38:02,781 --> 00:38:04,649
I love to know
what's going through his mind.

947
00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:06,217
-[Tazz] Who, Heidenreich?
-[Michael] Yeah.

948
00:38:06,284 --> 00:38:07,317
[Tazz] Yeah. Well, I don't know.

949
00:38:07,384 --> 00:38:10,121
I mean, you're claiming that there's not
much going through his mind except air.

950
00:38:10,188 --> 00:38:12,156
But I think Heidenreich's a bright guy.

951
00:38:12,223 --> 00:38:14,225
-And I'll tell you what, I think--
-You're about to pay now.

952
00:38:14,292 --> 00:38:15,859
[Tazz] You just heard,
"You're about to pay now,"

953
00:38:15,926 --> 00:38:17,562
he's telling Booker T, Heidenreich is.

954
00:38:17,629 --> 00:38:19,798
[Michael] What does that do
if you're an opponent in the ring--

955
00:38:19,864 --> 00:38:23,468
listen to this, spinebuster by Booker T,
could be the turning point of the matchup.

956
00:38:24,169 --> 00:38:26,805
[Tazz] Well, if someone's talking smack
to you during the match, you could--

957
00:38:26,871 --> 00:38:29,339
you gotta be careful, the guy is trying
to throw you off your game.

958
00:38:29,406 --> 00:38:31,009
-You don't want that to happen.
-Two.

959
00:38:32,509 --> 00:38:34,444
[Tazz] Referee Nick Patrick up
to a three-count now.

960
00:38:34,511 --> 00:38:36,047
Both men getting to a vertical base,

961
00:38:36,214 --> 00:38:38,082
blocked the punch, right hand by Booker.

962
00:38:38,650 --> 00:38:39,984
Uh-oh, blocked again. Oh, nice.

963
00:38:40,051 --> 00:38:41,219
[Michael] And Booker with another right.

964
00:38:41,286 --> 00:38:44,422
And here comes Booker T,
the former five-time WCW Champion.

965
00:38:44,888 --> 00:38:47,692
Knocking Heidenreich down,
Heidenreich quickly back to his feet,

966
00:38:47,759 --> 00:38:49,027
clothesline by Booker T again.

967
00:38:49,093 --> 00:38:50,361
Heidenreich back up again.

968
00:38:50,428 --> 00:38:52,197
[Tazz] Booker T waits
and stays on his opponent.

969
00:38:52,397 --> 00:38:53,565
-Oh, wow.
-[Michael] Oh, what a kick.

970
00:38:53,631 --> 00:38:55,033
A thrust kick to the jaw.

971
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:57,134
[crowd cheering]

972
00:38:57,202 --> 00:38:58,536
[Tazz] And now what? It looks like--

973
00:38:59,470 --> 00:39:01,406
you don't think he's gonna bust
into one right now, right?

974
00:39:01,471 --> 00:39:03,308
[Michael] He may well here at No Way Out.

975
00:39:04,174 --> 00:39:06,176
[Tazz] He's going
for a little Spinaroonie up here.

976
00:39:06,243 --> 00:39:07,412
-Here we go.
-[Michael] A Spinaroonie

977
00:39:07,478 --> 00:39:08,779
in the Mellon Arena.

978
00:39:10,748 --> 00:39:13,518
[Tazz] Well, I'll tell you what,

979
00:39:13,585 --> 00:39:16,321
if I was in the middle of the match
with Booker T and did a Spinaroonie,

980
00:39:16,421 --> 00:39:17,755
I'd try to top it. I think that's cool.

981
00:39:17,888 --> 00:39:19,790
Spinaroonie-- maybe not
during the match but--

982
00:39:19,857 --> 00:39:22,627
[Michael] Off the ropes,
here comes Booker T with the scissor kick.

983
00:39:22,694 --> 00:39:24,261
Heidenreich ducked underneath it.

984
00:39:24,328 --> 00:39:25,596
[Tazz] Uh-oh.
Going for that Book End, Cole.

985
00:39:25,663 --> 00:39:28,199
[Michael] Going for the Book End.
Heidenreich battles out of that.

986
00:39:29,067 --> 00:39:31,469
Heidenreich had it scouted perfectly.

987
00:39:31,536 --> 00:39:34,572
But now an elbow to the face
and a right hand.

988
00:39:36,774 --> 00:39:39,042
Booker T was back in control
and now he hangs up.

989
00:39:39,109 --> 00:39:42,346
There goes Heidenreich, hung up
over the top rope and outside the ring.

990
00:39:42,413 --> 00:39:44,616
[Tazz] Well, a veteran move
right there by Booker T.

991
00:39:44,682 --> 00:39:48,252
Hung onto the rope,
made the less experienced athlete

992
00:39:48,319 --> 00:39:50,288
get a little overzealous
and chucked him over the top.

993
00:39:50,355 --> 00:39:52,257
-[Michael] And here comes Booker T.
-[Tazz] Watch out here.

994
00:39:52,323 --> 00:39:53,790
[Michael] Heidenreich bouncing
off the steel steps.

995
00:39:53,857 --> 00:39:55,460
-[Tazz] Better watch out, Cole.
-[Michael] You think so?

996
00:39:55,526 --> 00:39:56,761
[Tazz] Yeah.
You better move your rear end.

997
00:39:56,861 --> 00:39:58,897
-Yeah, that's what I'm telling you.
-[Michael] Well, Heidenreich--

998
00:39:58,962 --> 00:40:01,098
Booker T with a clubbing blow
to the back of the neck.

999
00:40:01,165 --> 00:40:02,734
[overlapping chatter]

1000
00:40:02,799 --> 00:40:04,836
[Michael] Well, Heidenreich's
got a steel chair.

1001
00:40:04,903 --> 00:40:07,105
Did you see that? To the Adam's apple.

1002
00:40:07,171 --> 00:40:09,374
-Right to the throat, the steel chair…
-[bell ringing]

1003
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,542
…to the throat of Booker T.

1004
00:40:11,609 --> 00:40:13,578
[crowd booing]

1005
00:40:14,379 --> 00:40:15,413
[Tazz] That was blatant.

1006
00:40:17,548 --> 00:40:20,718
[Michael] Heidenreich frustrated,
grabbed the steel chair,

1007
00:40:20,785 --> 00:40:23,121
drove it into the Adam's apple
of Booker T.

1008
00:40:23,453 --> 00:40:24,622
-[Tazz] Wow.
-[Booker] Oh, God!

1009
00:40:24,689 --> 00:40:29,460
[Chimel] The winner of this match as
a result of a disqualification, Booker T.

1010
00:40:29,527 --> 00:40:31,462
[Michael] And now what the hell
is Heidenreich doing?

1011
00:40:31,895 --> 00:40:33,031
Enough already.

1012
00:40:33,765 --> 00:40:37,000
[Tazz] Oh, I think Heidenreich is trying
to send a message to the Bookman.

1013
00:40:37,067 --> 00:40:39,136
-Well, maybe. Let's see.
-[Booker] I won.

1014
00:40:39,604 --> 00:40:41,272
-[Tazz] Okay.
-[Michael] He's insane.

1015
00:40:41,339 --> 00:40:43,341
The match is over. He's been disqualified.

1016
00:40:43,408 --> 00:40:45,276
Now, he wants to go for a damn cover.

1017
00:40:45,810 --> 00:40:48,446
[Tazz] Well, he's a little unstable now.

1018
00:40:48,513 --> 00:40:49,513
Okay.

1019
00:40:50,515 --> 00:40:52,350
[Michael] Unstable? He's crazy.

1020
00:40:53,017 --> 00:40:54,819
[Tazz] He's got a good heart though.
He's got feelings.

1021
00:40:54,886 --> 00:40:56,453
-Come on.
-[Michael] How's he got feelings?

1022
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,089
He just drove a steel chair
into a man's throat.

1023
00:40:59,156 --> 00:41:02,926
[Tazz] Well, Heidenreich said in his poem
he felt like Booker T made fun of him.

1024
00:41:02,993 --> 00:41:04,696
-[crowd booing]
-[Tazz] It's a little miscommunication.

1025
00:41:04,862 --> 00:41:08,499
A lot of communications aren't there
and look at this Heidenreich.

1026
00:41:08,566 --> 00:41:09,968
[Michael] Miscommunication?

1027
00:41:10,034 --> 00:41:12,136
[Tazz] Well, I don't know but--

1028
00:41:12,203 --> 00:41:13,604
You cheat.

1029
00:41:13,871 --> 00:41:16,074
[Nick] You gotta go. You gotta go.
Get out of here.

1030
00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:18,308
[Tazz] Heidenreich-- I mean,
it was a hell of a match.

1031
00:41:18,375 --> 00:41:19,877
I mean, both men holding their own

1032
00:41:19,944 --> 00:41:23,314
and then Heidenreich got frustrated,
the guy just lost it.

1033
00:41:23,381 --> 00:41:25,383
[Michael] But again,
there is concern over Booker T

1034
00:41:25,450 --> 00:41:27,719
as we watch again
Heidenreich using the chair.

1035
00:41:27,785 --> 00:41:31,089
Watch it.
Right into the throat of Booker T.

1036
00:41:31,923 --> 00:41:34,192
[Tazz] And a blatant--
the referee is in the ring looking down,

1037
00:41:34,258 --> 00:41:36,027
-referee Nick Patrick.
-Ring that bell. Disqualification.

1038
00:41:36,094 --> 00:41:37,662
-[bell ringing]
-[Tazz] Well, we mentioned

1039
00:41:37,761 --> 00:41:39,696
-that he can't do that.
-[Michael] Heidenreich looking back

1040
00:41:39,763 --> 00:41:41,799
at Booker T who was just
rolling around in the ring

1041
00:41:41,866 --> 00:41:44,736
-grasping his throat, gasping for air.
-I beat you.

1042
00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:47,005
I beat them all.

1043
00:41:47,071 --> 00:41:50,441
[Michael] All the result to that--
that lunatic Heidenreich.

1044
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:52,410
[crowd booing]

1045
00:41:56,714 --> 00:41:59,750
[Michael] And you're looking at--
what is the holding room

1046
00:42:00,284 --> 00:42:04,388
for Raw's Batista who is expected
here tonight at No Way Out.

1047
00:42:05,022 --> 00:42:06,991
Batista has not arrived yet,

1048
00:42:07,058 --> 00:42:09,961
but general manager Theodore Long
pulled the right stops.

1049
00:42:10,028 --> 00:42:11,763
[overlapping chatter]

1050
00:42:13,096 --> 00:42:15,165
-Yo, yo, yo!
-[crowd cheering]

1051
00:42:18,870 --> 00:42:20,805
Congratulations. Big night tonight.

1052
00:42:20,872 --> 00:42:22,507
I can see you all two
stepping up in the club.

1053
00:42:22,573 --> 00:42:25,076
Hey, John.
These two won tonight.

1054
00:42:25,143 --> 00:42:26,411
Let's see if you can do it, buddy.

1055
00:42:26,477 --> 00:42:27,912
-I know you can.
-[indistinct chatter]

1056
00:42:28,011 --> 00:42:29,913
I was thinking about
just saying congrats, man.

1057
00:42:29,981 --> 00:42:31,115
The champs is here, man.

1058
00:42:31,182 --> 00:42:33,750
Guys, guys, guys, please, man,
could you give me a moment with John?

1059
00:42:33,817 --> 00:42:35,653
-Sure.
-Anything you want, Eddie.

1060
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:37,255
-I appreciate it.
-My names all you, John.

1061
00:42:37,321 --> 00:42:38,589
-Sure.
-Yeah.

1062
00:42:39,390 --> 00:42:41,125
-This ain't a stickup or nothing, right?
-Oh, no, man.

1063
00:42:41,192 --> 00:42:42,493
-I'm good?
-Come on, vato. Listen.

1064
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,261
-I know you.
-No, no. [chuckles]

1065
00:42:44,362 --> 00:42:45,863
-I promise.
-All right. What's up?

1066
00:42:45,930 --> 00:42:47,765
-What's on your mind?
-If anything, this is heartfelt, man.

1067
00:42:48,266 --> 00:42:52,737
Look, I just wanna congratulate you
because I know what it takes to get here.

1068
00:42:52,804 --> 00:42:55,807
And I know you've worked
your ass off to get here.

1069
00:42:55,873 --> 00:42:58,209
So, let me congratulate you.

1070
00:42:58,276 --> 00:42:59,410
Well, thanks, man.

1071
00:42:59,477 --> 00:43:03,448
But, you know, it doesn't mean nothing
if you don't beat Angle tonight.

1072
00:43:03,915 --> 00:43:05,583
Oh, man. I know. I know what's up.

1073
00:43:05,650 --> 00:43:07,484
John. John, it's--

1074
00:43:08,252 --> 00:43:11,388
I don't think your grasping
how big this is, man.

1075
00:43:12,924 --> 00:43:14,058
This is history.

1076
00:43:14,759 --> 00:43:16,861
You beating Angle tonight,

1077
00:43:17,495 --> 00:43:21,399
that means that you're going
to main event, WrestleMania.

1078
00:43:21,531 --> 00:43:22,600
[crowd cheering]

1079
00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:25,368
Brother, that's what everybody works for.

1080
00:43:25,435 --> 00:43:29,774
That's what we live, eat, and think 24/7

1081
00:43:29,841 --> 00:43:31,142
when we're in this business.

1082
00:43:31,709 --> 00:43:33,911
And even when we're not in this business,

1083
00:43:33,978 --> 00:43:37,615
growing up, you know, our dreams,
you have that opportunity.

1084
00:43:38,816 --> 00:43:43,386
Just let me give you some advice, man,
especially, you know, I know Kurt Angle.

1085
00:43:43,453 --> 00:43:46,691
I've wrestled him.
I mean, I have wrestled him over and over.

1086
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:50,560
I mean, on countless times,
and he's a phenomenal wrestler.

1087
00:43:52,296 --> 00:43:53,998
And he said something tonight.

1088
00:43:54,232 --> 00:43:56,366
He said not only was he gonna put you
in the ankle lock,

1089
00:43:56,433 --> 00:43:58,136
he said he was gonna make you hurt.

1090
00:43:58,202 --> 00:43:59,569
He said he was gonna hurt you.

1091
00:44:00,203 --> 00:44:02,240
He said he was gonna make you
tap out and hurt.

1092
00:44:03,540 --> 00:44:04,609
You know what, John?

1093
00:44:05,542 --> 00:44:06,611
I don't believe him.

1094
00:44:07,712 --> 00:44:12,415
I believe he can put the ankle lock,
but I don't believe that you'll tap.

1095
00:44:14,819 --> 00:44:16,020
You remember that.

1096
00:44:17,121 --> 00:44:19,957
When he's got that ankle lock
and you're hurting,

1097
00:44:21,292 --> 00:44:25,796
and all the world is flashing
before you in pain,

1098
00:44:26,497 --> 00:44:27,598
don't tap.

1099
00:44:28,399 --> 00:44:32,370
Because all that's gonna happen, man,
is he's gonna get mad.

1100
00:44:32,803 --> 00:44:34,906
He gets mad, he gets frustrated.

1101
00:44:34,971 --> 00:44:37,441
He gets frustrated, he makes mistakes.

1102
00:44:38,075 --> 00:44:39,442
He makes mistakes,

1103
00:44:40,978 --> 00:44:42,212
that's your chance.

1104
00:44:42,279 --> 00:44:44,615
That's your opportunity to win.

1105
00:44:46,150 --> 00:44:47,317
I believe in you.

1106
00:44:47,384 --> 00:44:48,819
I know they believe in you.

1107
00:44:50,555 --> 00:44:51,756
God bless you.

1108
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:53,991
[crowd cheering]

1109
00:44:59,763 --> 00:45:00,865
[bell ringing]

1110
00:45:00,932 --> 00:45:05,036
[Chimel] The following contest
is the six-man elimination match

1111
00:45:05,102 --> 00:45:08,772
for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
of the world.

1112
00:45:08,839 --> 00:45:12,276
Now, ladies and gentlemen, earlier today,
there was a drawing

1113
00:45:12,343 --> 00:45:15,413
to determine the order of entry
for this match.

1114
00:45:15,712 --> 00:45:18,583
The superstar that drew number one

1115
00:45:18,649 --> 00:45:23,254
will square off against the superstar
who drew number two.

1116
00:45:23,321 --> 00:45:26,257
The winner of that match
will face the superstar

1117
00:45:26,324 --> 00:45:28,058
who drew number three.

1118
00:45:28,459 --> 00:45:33,231
This process will continue
until there is one winner left

1119
00:45:33,297 --> 00:45:38,636
and that winner will be
the Cruiserweight Champion of the world.

1120
00:45:38,703 --> 00:45:40,671

1122
00:45:46,310 --> 00:45:49,946
[Chimel] Introducing first, making his way
to the ring, from Austin, Texas,

1123
00:45:50,013 --> 00:45:53,850
weighing 200 pounds, Paul London.

1124
00:45:53,917 --> 00:45:56,020
[Michael] Well, unique ringwear
for Paul London.

1125
00:45:56,087 --> 00:45:57,622
[Tazz] I think Paul London
went in your locker room

1126
00:45:57,688 --> 00:45:59,924
-and took your jacket again.
-[Michael] Damn it, London.

1127
00:46:01,424 --> 00:46:03,294
A big night for Paul London here tonight,

1128
00:46:03,361 --> 00:46:05,930
one of six men who have a chance
to win the cruiserweight title.

["Chavito Ardiente" playing]

1130
00:46:09,700 --> 00:46:13,136
[Chimel] Making his way to the ring,
from El Paso, Texas,

1131
00:46:13,203 --> 00:46:17,975
weighing in at 213 pounds, Chavo Guerrero.

1132
00:46:18,042 --> 00:46:21,379
[Michael] Chavo Guerrero may indeed
be the odds-on favorite to win this thing,

1133
00:46:21,444 --> 00:46:22,980
the former Cruiserweight Champion.

1134
00:46:23,047 --> 00:46:25,249
[Tazz] Oh, I'll tell you what, Cole.
I do agree with that.

1135
00:46:25,316 --> 00:46:27,285
Chavo Guerrero can go--

1136
00:46:27,350 --> 00:46:28,986
to take nothing off
Paul London who's in the ring.

1137
00:46:29,053 --> 00:46:30,221
-I'm gonna tell you what.
-[rock music playing]

1138
00:46:30,288 --> 00:46:32,323
This Paul London as shown signs
to have gotten something special.

1139
00:46:32,390 --> 00:46:34,325
[Chimel] From Raleigh, North Carolina,

1140
00:46:34,392 --> 00:46:38,828
weighing in at 207 pounds, Shannon Moore.

1141
00:46:38,895 --> 00:46:41,499
[Tazz] Well, there's the Prince of Punk,
Cole. Your favorite cruiserweight

1142
00:46:41,598 --> 00:46:43,433
-in the world, right?
-[Michael] I love the Prince of Punk.

1143
00:46:43,500 --> 00:46:45,169
[Tazz] I always see you with Punk
in the back. You're like,

1144
00:46:45,236 --> 00:46:47,672
"Hey, let me try on your vest.
I love spikes." I was gonna say that.

1145
00:46:47,738 --> 00:46:49,373
Speaking of Spike, here's a segue.

1146
00:46:49,473 --> 00:46:54,045
[Chimel] Weighing in at 150 pounds,
Spike Dudley.

1147
00:46:54,111 --> 00:46:55,112
[Tazz] Oh, man.

1148
00:46:55,179 --> 00:46:56,714
[Michael] Yeah, that's what you wanna wear
in Pittsburgh,

1149
00:46:56,781 --> 00:46:58,982
a Tom Brady jersey of the Patriots.

1150
00:47:00,518 --> 00:47:04,254
[Michael] Well, Spike Dudley, a former
Cruiserweight Champion in his own right.

1151
00:47:04,989 --> 00:47:07,290
Not trying to make any friends here
at the Mellon Arena.

1152
00:47:07,357 --> 00:47:09,327
[Tazz] Oh, well, Spike's
hated everywhere he goes.

1153
00:47:09,393 --> 00:47:11,162
Lately, people just don't like Spike.

1154

["Delhip-Hop" playing]

1155
00:47:14,131 --> 00:47:17,968
[Chimel] From Japan,
weighing 200 pounds, Akio.

1156
00:47:18,035 --> 00:47:20,871
[Michael] Here's indeed someone
who's a real dark horse in this matchup.

1157
00:47:20,937 --> 00:47:23,040
[Tazz] I agree with that, Cole.
I mean, not for nothing,

1158
00:47:23,107 --> 00:47:25,942
all kidding aside, it's Akio,
well-versed in the martial arts.

1159
00:47:26,377 --> 00:47:28,145
He's so quick in that ring.

1160
00:47:28,245 --> 00:47:32,383
Another man who showed sign--
who show signs of greatness.

1161
00:47:32,450 --> 00:47:34,051
I'll tell you what,
he can get it done in there.

1162

-["Dojo" playing]
-[crowd cheering]

1163
00:47:36,053 --> 00:47:38,154
-[Tazz] The champ.
-[Chimel] And from Japan,

1164
00:47:38,254 --> 00:47:40,191
weighing in at 208 pounds,

1165
00:47:40,257 --> 00:47:44,528
he is the Cruiserweight Champion
of the world, Funaki.

1166
00:47:44,595 --> 00:47:47,163
[Michael] So in this matchup,
it's basically the luck of the draw.

1167
00:47:47,231 --> 00:47:49,266
Two men will start. Once one man wins,

1168
00:47:49,333 --> 00:47:50,801
the next cruiserweight
will come into the ring.

1169
00:47:50,868 --> 00:47:52,470
You heard there was a drawing
earlier today.

1170
00:47:54,305 --> 00:47:56,574
[Tazz] But who'll start?
Who's one and two?

1171
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:00,144
-Oh, that's not good. Who's one and two?
-[Michael] We're gonna find out right now.

1172
00:48:00,211 --> 00:48:02,078
And again, if you're one
of the first two men,

1173
00:48:02,179 --> 00:48:03,814
it does not mean your odds are too good

1174
00:48:03,881 --> 00:48:05,915
to win the Cruiserweight Championship
here tonight.

1175
00:48:05,982 --> 00:48:07,317
[Tazz] Oh, I know. No doubt. No doubt.

1176
00:48:07,384 --> 00:48:08,652
-[Michael] Oh, look at this.
-[Tazz] What?

1177
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,621
[Michael] It's the Cruiserweight Champion,
Funaki,

1178
00:48:10,687 --> 00:48:12,823
against Paul London to kick things off.

1179
00:48:12,890 --> 00:48:14,924
-So the champion not getting the…
-[bell ringing]

1180
00:48:14,991 --> 00:48:16,627
[Michael] …good odds here
in the early going.

1181
00:48:17,328 --> 00:48:20,663
[Tazz] Well, let's see
if Funaki can run the table here.

1182
00:48:20,731 --> 00:48:22,433
[Michael] He's gonna have
to run the table.

1183
00:48:22,500 --> 00:48:25,435
Gotta get through London and four
other superstars to retain the title.

1184
00:48:25,703 --> 00:48:27,104
Funaki backing Paul London up.

1185
00:48:27,171 --> 00:48:29,440
What type of strategy would you use
in this type of match?

1186
00:48:29,507 --> 00:48:30,975
[Tazz] Well, I would use-- if I am Funaki,

1187
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,778
who's the man, who has to defend
his title against more or less five guys,

1188
00:48:33,844 --> 00:48:36,212
you can call it anyway you want,
that's the way I see this.

1189
00:48:36,714 --> 00:48:40,750
If you are Funaki, you gotta deal
with each competitor one at a time.

1190
00:48:40,951 --> 00:48:42,987
Right now, you're in a match
with Paul London,

1191
00:48:43,053 --> 00:48:44,388
that's all Funaki
should be thinking about.

1192
00:48:44,455 --> 00:48:45,856
-[Michael] So you need to be conservative?
-[Tazz] Yes.

1193
00:48:45,923 --> 00:48:47,191
[Michael] You can't take
a lot of high risks?

1194
00:48:47,258 --> 00:48:48,259
[Tazz] No. I don't think so.

1195
00:48:48,325 --> 00:48:51,127
Nice couple of standing scoops
into a side headlock by Paul London.

1196
00:48:51,429 --> 00:48:53,596
But you-- or not high risky moves,
but, yeah,

1197
00:48:53,663 --> 00:48:54,799
no, I don't think you need to be risky.

1198
00:48:54,865 --> 00:48:57,468
[Michael] Oh, Paul London
with the shoulder knockdown,

1199
00:48:57,535 --> 00:49:00,538
could be a-- oh, nice leg sweep by Funaki,
into the cover,

1200
00:49:00,604 --> 00:49:02,006
kick-out by London
before a count of one.

1201
00:49:02,071 --> 00:49:03,073
[Tazz] Oh. Nice.

1202
00:49:03,140 --> 00:49:06,911
Nice deep underhook arm drag there
by London

1203
00:49:06,977 --> 00:49:10,147
and you see it's almost like Funaki
for a minute thought he could tag out.

1204
00:49:10,981 --> 00:49:12,716
-There's no tagging here.
-[Michael] I actually think

1205
00:49:12,783 --> 00:49:15,519
Spike Dudley was mouthing off to him.
Remember, it was Funaki

1206
00:49:15,586 --> 00:49:17,654
who took the cruiserweight title
from Spike.

1207
00:49:17,721 --> 00:49:20,658
Into the corner, Paul London,
high elbow to the jaw.

1208
00:49:20,723 --> 00:49:22,026
[Tazz] You see London here-- whoa, whoa.

1209
00:49:22,125 --> 00:49:24,395
[Michael] There's that mule kick
to the back.

1210
00:49:25,429 --> 00:49:27,765
-Now, what's London doing?
-[Tazz] Stomping on the ring.

1211
00:49:27,832 --> 00:49:29,767
[Michael] Nobody home.
Paul London bounces of the turnbuckle,

1212
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:31,734
there's a bulldog by Funaki.
Cruiserweight Champion

1213
00:49:31,801 --> 00:49:34,238
quick into the cover.
Shoulders down, hooks the leg,

1214
00:49:34,305 --> 00:49:35,573
and Paul London kicks out.

1215
00:49:35,638 --> 00:49:38,709
Hey, Chavo, I told you,
you gotta stay out of the ring.

1216
00:49:38,776 --> 00:49:41,312
-Stay in your corner.
-[Tazz] Chavo wanting to get in the ring.

1217
00:49:41,377 --> 00:49:42,745
Wait your turn, Chavo.

1218
00:49:42,812 --> 00:49:45,850
[Michael] And referee-- and look
at Spike Dudley with a knee to the spine.

1219
00:49:45,915 --> 00:49:49,620
Spike Dudley with a knee to the spine,
Paul London, schoolboy,

1220
00:49:49,687 --> 00:49:51,989
shoulder's down, London advances.

1221
00:49:52,056 --> 00:49:54,658
The champion's been eliminated.
Spike's the next man in the ring.

1222
00:49:54,725 --> 00:49:56,993
[Tazz] Well, thanks
to the ECW alumnus there,

1223
00:49:57,060 --> 00:49:59,330
my former tag team champion partner,
Spike Dudley.

1224
00:49:59,395 --> 00:50:00,998
[Michael] Spike Dudley,
obviously number three,

1225
00:50:01,065 --> 00:50:02,399
but with Funaki being eliminated,

1226
00:50:02,466 --> 00:50:04,667
we will crown
a new Cruiserweight Champion here tonight.

1227
00:50:04,734 --> 00:50:06,670
[Tazz] I'm shocked that Funaki's
out of the wood.

1228
00:50:06,737 --> 00:50:08,973
[Michael] Look at Funaki,
payback to Spike Dudley.

1229
00:50:09,038 --> 00:50:10,908
Referee never saw it.
Here's the hook of the leg.

1230
00:50:11,008 --> 00:50:12,308
-[Tazz] Wait a minute.
-[Michael] Cover,

1231
00:50:12,475 --> 00:50:14,211
Paul London advances again.

1232
00:50:15,011 --> 00:50:17,248
-So, who's next?
-[Tazz] A couple legends go down.

1233
00:50:17,314 --> 00:50:19,783
I'm still shocked and getting over
the fact that the champion--

1234
00:50:19,950 --> 00:50:22,252
[Michael] Well, now, Prince of Punk
must be the fourth entry,

1235
00:50:22,319 --> 00:50:25,221
Shannon Moore, cover, hook of the leg,
kick-out by London.

1236
00:50:25,321 --> 00:50:27,458
-[screams]
-[Tazz] Try this for the fifth time.

1237
00:50:27,524 --> 00:50:29,192
The champion is out of the wood.

1238
00:50:29,792 --> 00:50:30,794
I'm shocked.

1239
00:50:31,929 --> 00:50:33,897
-[Michael] He's out of the wood?
-[Tazz] Well, he can't--

1240
00:50:33,964 --> 00:50:36,100
[Michael] There's Shannon Moore,
shoulder down, kick-out by London.

1241
00:50:36,165 --> 00:50:38,769
[Tazz] He's out of the wood to retain--
he lost the title. That's my point.

1242
00:50:38,868 --> 00:50:40,471
-That's what I'm talking about.
-[Michael] Here's the backslide,

1243
00:50:40,538 --> 00:50:42,439
Shannon Moore trying to get Paul London,
can't get him there.

1244
00:50:42,506 --> 00:50:43,874
[Tazz] You even know what
"out of the wood" means?

1245
00:50:43,941 --> 00:50:45,542
That's what I'm talking about.
He's out of the wood.

1246
00:50:46,243 --> 00:50:48,946
Side headlock now applied
by Shannon Moore.

1247
00:50:49,647 --> 00:50:51,281
[Michael] One of these four men will be

1248
00:50:51,348 --> 00:50:53,017
the new Cruiserweight Champion
here tonight.

1249
00:50:53,083 --> 00:50:56,153
Paul London, Shannon Moore,
Chavo Guerrero, or Akio.

1250
00:50:56,819 --> 00:50:59,557
Shannon into the corner,
there's a big shot by Paul London.

1251
00:51:00,691 --> 00:51:03,027
[Michael] London started this thing off,
eliminated Funaki

1252
00:51:03,093 --> 00:51:05,194
and eliminated Spike Dudley,
with a little bit of help.

1253
00:51:05,261 --> 00:51:08,632
-[Tazz] Well, from-- Spike is a former--
-[Michael] Roll through, shoulders down,

1254
00:51:08,699 --> 00:51:10,267
London-- kick-out by Shannon Moore.

1255
00:51:10,334 --> 00:51:14,138
[Tazz] So, we got Spike Dudley,
former Cruiserweight Champ, he's out.

1256
00:51:14,203 --> 00:51:17,575
-[Michael] Right.
-[Tazz] And it's-- Funaki was the champ.

1257
00:51:17,641 --> 00:51:19,209
-He's done, he's out.
-[Michael] Right.

1258
00:51:19,276 --> 00:51:22,312
[Tazz] And now you got Paul London
going in there against Shannon Moore.

1259
00:51:22,379 --> 00:51:23,913
[Michael] The Prince of Punk,
Shannon Moore.

1260
00:51:23,981 --> 00:51:25,716
Off the turnbuckle goes Paul London.

1261
00:51:25,783 --> 00:51:26,951
Shannon Moore.

1262
00:51:27,017 --> 00:51:28,551
Again London, high off the turnbuckle.

1263
00:51:28,618 --> 00:51:31,955
[Tazz] Well, sternum first into that
top turnbuckle, here we go again.

1264
00:51:32,022 --> 00:51:34,591
[Michael] A third time, gonna break jaw.

1265
00:51:34,658 --> 00:51:37,261
[Tazz] It really helps-- it doesn't help
your breathing situation.

1266
00:51:37,328 --> 00:51:39,229
-Look at Shannon Moore.
-[Michael] Shannon Moore missed,

1267
00:51:39,296 --> 00:51:40,964
went for a corkscrew moonsault.

1268
00:51:41,031 --> 00:51:42,933
London whipped out of the ring,
hung on to the ropes.

1269
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,303
That was so athletic by London
to hang on to those ropes.

1270
00:51:46,370 --> 00:51:47,605
Watch Paul London here.

1271
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:50,140
-London connects.
-[Tazz] Oh, man.

1272
00:51:50,207 --> 00:51:53,042
[Michael] Here's the cover,
hook of the leg, he got Shannon Moore.

1273
00:51:53,109 --> 00:51:56,145
[Tazz] What a 450 Splash by Paul London.

1274
00:51:56,212 --> 00:51:58,649
[Michael] Vintage Paul London
into the 450 Splash,

1275
00:51:58,716 --> 00:52:01,986
but Akio now exploding into the ring.

1276
00:52:02,886 --> 00:52:05,388
Akio, cover, hook of the leg, kick-out.

1277
00:52:05,455 --> 00:52:08,024
Chavo Guerrero,
the only man left to enter.

1278
00:52:08,125 --> 00:52:11,328
[Tazz] I think now is an opportune time
to point out cruiserweight's worth.

1279
00:52:11,395 --> 00:52:14,431
Exclusive to SmackDown, you won't see
this on Monday nights, ladies and gents.

1280
00:52:14,498 --> 00:52:16,734
[Michael] And we talked about staying
away from that high-risk maneuver.

1281
00:52:16,799 --> 00:52:20,203
Perhaps that 450 Splash by Paul London
took something out of him.

1282
00:52:20,270 --> 00:52:23,073
It allowed the fresh man, Akio,
to really get on the offensive here.

1283
00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:25,075
[Tazz] Well, yeah, now,
you gotta turn the pace down.

1284
00:52:25,142 --> 00:52:26,276
Now, there's three men left.

1285
00:52:26,343 --> 00:52:27,711
You know, if you're Chavo Guerrero,

1286
00:52:27,778 --> 00:52:30,080
you sit in the-- or you see him
right now on the apron.

1287
00:52:30,147 --> 00:52:31,749
Right now, Akio-- what's this?

1288
00:52:31,815 --> 00:52:33,149
-Hey, Akio.
-[Michael] What is this?

1289
00:52:33,216 --> 00:52:34,484
[Tazz] Beautiful submission here.

1290
00:52:34,551 --> 00:52:36,754
[Michael] Referee Jimmy Korderas
is only gonna give him a count of five

1291
00:52:36,819 --> 00:52:37,955
and he does, Akio.

1292
00:52:38,022 --> 00:52:39,490
[Tazz] Leg scissor choke, using the ropes,

1293
00:52:39,556 --> 00:52:41,091
and it can do damage quick.

1294
00:52:41,158 --> 00:52:42,759
[Michael] Quickly into the cover,
hooks the leg,

1295
00:52:42,826 --> 00:52:44,694
and a kick-out by Paul London after two.

1296
00:52:44,761 --> 00:52:47,297
I tell you, hell of an effort
thus far by Paul London.

1297
00:52:47,364 --> 00:52:50,167
[Tazz] Well, there's a-- now,
look at that rear choke,

1298
00:52:50,234 --> 00:52:53,437
that version of a sleeper hold applied

1299
00:52:53,504 --> 00:52:55,638
and that's a-- I'll tell you what,

1300
00:52:55,705 --> 00:52:57,774
Akio's got that bad boy in,
you see right there,

1301
00:52:57,841 --> 00:53:00,844
Paul London trying to--
was trying to get his fingers in between

1302
00:53:00,911 --> 00:53:04,848
the crook of Akio's arm on his own throat
to prevent getting choked out.

1303
00:53:05,015 --> 00:53:08,952
[Michael] And again, pinfall, submission,
count-out, anything in this matchup.

1304
00:53:09,019 --> 00:53:12,221
Looks like Akio maybe trying to choke
out Paul London here.

1305
00:53:12,288 --> 00:53:14,758
[Tazz] I was basically just saying that,
but Paul London's trying.

1306
00:53:14,825 --> 00:53:17,795
[Michael] Well, London's trying to get
back to his vertical base which he did.

1307
00:53:17,861 --> 00:53:21,065
And look at the enzuigiri
to the back of the head by Akio.

1308
00:53:21,131 --> 00:53:23,567
Here's the cover, shoulder's down,
does he have him?

1309
00:53:23,634 --> 00:53:25,269
No. London kicked out.

1310
00:53:25,569 --> 00:53:27,471
Akio went back to work now
on that left arm.

1311
00:53:27,538 --> 00:53:30,007
[Tazz] Yeah. Paul London can't have
much left right now.

1312
00:53:30,074 --> 00:53:33,009
Well, now, he's caught in that--
in this reverse armbar here.

1313
00:53:33,644 --> 00:53:36,279
I'll tell you what, I-- if I'm Chavo,

1314
00:53:36,379 --> 00:53:37,815
I'm happy as a pig,
in you know what, here.

1315
00:53:37,881 --> 00:53:40,017
[Michael] Of course.
Let these guys beat each other up

1316
00:53:40,084 --> 00:53:42,286
-and come into the ring and, you know…
-[Tazz] Oh!

1317
00:53:42,352 --> 00:53:43,886
[Michael] …as the fresh man.

1318
00:53:43,953 --> 00:53:46,957
As Akio, who gives a kick now
to Paul London.

1319
00:53:47,691 --> 00:53:51,161
Cruiserweight Championship on the line
in this six-man elimination matchup.

1320
00:53:51,228 --> 00:53:53,731
[Tazz] Well, I think the big picture here
is no matter who wins,

1321
00:53:53,797 --> 00:53:56,399
we're gonna have a new
Cruiserweight Champion here at Pittsburgh

1322
00:53:56,466 --> 00:53:58,368
because we already lost Funaki.
He lost in the beginning.

1323
00:53:58,535 --> 00:54:01,370
[Michael] And look at Akio really
trying to take out Paul London here.

1324
00:54:01,437 --> 00:54:02,439
Three men are left.

1325
00:54:02,506 --> 00:54:04,641
Funaki, Spike Dudley,
Shannon Moore have been eliminated.

1326
00:54:04,707 --> 00:54:07,077
[Tazz] London's hands are hanging down,
he can't defend himself anymore here.

1327
00:54:07,176 --> 00:54:08,879
[Michael] He's been in the ring
a long time here

1328
00:54:08,946 --> 00:54:10,413
as Akio continues the right hands,

1329
00:54:10,481 --> 00:54:12,415
and now with a chop to Paul London.

1330
00:54:12,482 --> 00:54:15,085
[Tazz] Akio coming hard
after Paul London here.

1331
00:54:15,519 --> 00:54:16,754
-Going for a--
-Akio, no!

1332
00:54:16,854 --> 00:54:18,221
[Michael] Akio up the top rope,
Paul London…

1333
00:54:18,288 --> 00:54:19,990
-[Tazz] He's a bit tired.
-[Michael] …in trouble here.

1334
00:54:20,089 --> 00:54:23,426
[Tazz] Maybe going for a superplex
off the tippy top. Maybe he'd reconsider.

1335
00:54:23,493 --> 00:54:24,661
[Michael]
London trying to battle out of it.

1336
00:54:24,728 --> 00:54:26,163
[Tazz] He's trying to get his balance.

1337
00:54:26,230 --> 00:54:28,464
That's a hard thing to do
if you're Akio right now,

1338
00:54:28,531 --> 00:54:30,433
plus you have London beating on your back.

1339
00:54:30,500 --> 00:54:31,634
[Michael] What is this?

1340
00:54:31,702 --> 00:54:33,136
-[Tazz] I don't know.
-[Michael] Wait a minute.

1341
00:54:33,203 --> 00:54:34,571
-[Tazz] Oh, my God!
-[Michael] Oh, man! Wow,

1342
00:54:34,638 --> 00:54:36,673
a neckbreaker from the top rope!

1343
00:54:36,740 --> 00:54:38,142
[crowd chatter]

1344
00:54:39,009 --> 00:54:40,544
-[Michael] Wow.
-[Korderas] One…

1345
00:54:40,611 --> 00:54:42,111
[Tazz] I'm speechless.

1346
00:54:42,178 --> 00:54:43,413
-Major league.
-…two…

1347
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,482
[Tazz]
Both men had the same thing in mind.

1348
00:54:45,616 --> 00:54:47,049
-…three…
-[Tazz] Both are down.

1349
00:54:47,116 --> 00:54:49,086
[Michael] A swinging neckbreaker
off the top rope, Tazz.

1350
00:54:49,153 --> 00:54:52,089
And look at Chavo,
Chavo's counting with the referee.

1351
00:54:53,022 --> 00:54:55,893
Chavo would love to see
both men counted to the count of ten,

1352
00:54:55,959 --> 00:54:58,495
which means Chavo would become
the new Cruiserweight Champion

1353
00:54:58,562 --> 00:55:00,297
and never even have
to wrestle in the match.

1354
00:55:00,364 --> 00:55:03,100
[Tazz] It'd make a great No Way Out
for Chavo if this would happen.

1355
00:55:03,167 --> 00:55:04,234
Three seconds away.

1356
00:55:04,301 --> 00:55:05,636
[Michael] Chavo telling the referee,
"Come on."

1357
00:55:05,702 --> 00:55:06,870
-…eight…
-[Michael] "Count quicker,

1358
00:55:06,937 --> 00:55:08,538
you're at the count of eight. Come on,"
Chavo's saying.

1359
00:55:08,605 --> 00:55:10,107
[Tazz] Yeah,
but London's near the rope there.

1360
00:55:10,207 --> 00:55:11,408
[Michael] So is Akio.

1361
00:55:13,277 --> 00:55:16,245
-At the count of nine, Paul London's up.
-No, no. He's eliminated.

1362
00:55:16,312 --> 00:55:18,015
-He did not make it all the way up.
-[Michael] Akio did not--

1363
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,216
-[Tazz] Wait, wait.
-No. Akio's eliminated.

1364
00:55:20,484 --> 00:55:22,586
-He did not make it to his feet.
-[Tazz] You heard it.

1365
00:55:22,653 --> 00:55:25,388
He said Akio's eliminated.
What a rough way to go down.

1366
00:55:25,455 --> 00:55:27,424
[Michael] The referee,
Jimmy Korderas said Akio did not make it

1367
00:55:27,491 --> 00:55:28,859
to his feet by a count of ten.

1368
00:55:28,926 --> 00:55:30,560
And now look at Chavo Guerrero.

1369
00:55:30,727 --> 00:55:32,995
He looks at Paul London
as easy pickings here.

1370
00:55:33,062 --> 00:55:36,299
[Tazz] Oh, he's like a piece of meat
right now that's been worn down.

1371
00:55:36,366 --> 00:55:38,868
[Michael] A kick right to the knee,
driving London to the mat.

1372
00:55:40,037 --> 00:55:42,272
[Tazz] Chavo, fresh as a daisy, London…

1373
00:55:42,739 --> 00:55:45,209
[Michael] Can Paul London
do the impossible here, Tazz?

1374
00:55:45,274 --> 00:55:46,710
-[Tazz] I don't think so.
-[Michael] And run the table?

1375
00:55:46,777 --> 00:55:48,178
-[Tazz] He's done.
-[Michael] Nonchalant cover

1376
00:55:48,245 --> 00:55:51,181
by Chavo Guerrero,
and London rolls the shoulder out.

1377
00:55:51,248 --> 00:55:52,883
There's the hook of the leg,

1378
00:55:52,950 --> 00:55:54,350
shoulders down again, and a kick-out.

1379
00:55:54,417 --> 00:55:57,687
[Tazz] I was gonna say that cocky cover
was un-Guerrero like, but this not.

1380
00:55:57,754 --> 00:55:59,823
[Michael]
Again, a cover, and again a kick-out!

1381
00:55:59,890 --> 00:56:01,625
Can you believe Paul London?

1382
00:56:01,692 --> 00:56:03,759
[Tazz] Well, I'll tell you what.
You exert a lot of energy

1383
00:56:03,861 --> 00:56:05,095
when you're kicking out three times.

1384
00:56:05,162 --> 00:56:07,064
But that Paul London,
he's got something in him.

1385
00:56:07,129 --> 00:56:09,700
It's a hell of a showing by London,
win, lose, or draw here.

1386
00:56:10,399 --> 00:56:11,902
[Michael] Look, it's--
What do we have here?

1387
00:56:11,969 --> 00:56:15,205
London's gonna do it here.
Chavo kicked out at two-and-a-half.

1388
00:56:15,272 --> 00:56:16,607
Chavo almost got caught.

1389
00:56:16,707 --> 00:56:18,674
-[Tazz] He didn't have the strength--
-[Michael] Oh, what an uppercut.

1390
00:56:18,741 --> 00:56:21,178
You wanna make me work?
You wanna make me work?

1391
00:56:21,245 --> 00:56:22,779
You wanna make me work? Come on.

1392
00:56:22,846 --> 00:56:26,015
[Tazz] He said, "You wanna make me work?"
And now Chavo more or less claiming,

1393
00:56:26,082 --> 00:56:28,986
insinuating he's gonna punish,
punish Paul London.

1394
00:56:29,051 --> 00:56:31,922
[Michael] Well, Chavo's the veteran,
a former Cruiserweight Champion.

1395
00:56:31,989 --> 00:56:34,857
And as you said,
punishing Paul London here.

1396
00:56:35,392 --> 00:56:37,828
Oh, and a right hand at--
the heart of this kid.

1397
00:56:37,895 --> 00:56:40,564
London, just battling back
in this matchup since the get-go.

1398
00:56:40,663 --> 00:56:44,100
[Tazz] Paul London crashed and burned off
the top rope with Akio on that neckbreaker

1399
00:56:44,667 --> 00:56:47,870
off the top and I think
London's still trying to shake that off.

1400
00:56:47,937 --> 00:56:48,971
And smart here.

1401
00:56:49,038 --> 00:56:50,339
-Oh!
-[Michael] Chavo with a neckbreaker,

1402
00:56:50,406 --> 00:56:52,276
but look at Paul London
with a counter, hanging on.

1403
00:56:52,341 --> 00:56:53,877
Hooks the leg, shoulders down,

1404
00:56:53,944 --> 00:56:55,345
Chavo kicked out.

1405
00:56:55,412 --> 00:56:57,981
[Tazz] Smart by Chavo, go after that neck.

1406
00:56:58,382 --> 00:57:01,384
Better smart, more smart
by London to hook the rope. Oh!

1407
00:57:01,518 --> 00:57:03,819
[Michael] Trading things by London,
look at this, shoulders down,

1408
00:57:03,886 --> 00:57:05,288
off the bridge, kick-out.

1409
00:57:05,355 --> 00:57:08,357
[Tazz] That's a dragon suplex,
a full nelson suplex,

1410
00:57:09,026 --> 00:57:12,328
beautifully executed with the back bridge,
but Chavo able to kick-out.

1411
00:57:12,629 --> 00:57:14,564
[Michael] Paul London
running perhaps on fumes,

1412
00:57:14,698 --> 00:57:17,834
but somehow able to dig deep down inside.

1413
00:57:17,901 --> 00:57:21,904
[Tazz] It's called adrenaline, Cole,
and that's exactly-- Paul London now.

1414
00:57:21,971 --> 00:57:23,839
Where the hell did this kid come from?
Look at him.

1415
00:57:23,906 --> 00:57:26,375
[Michael] Paul London was one
of the first two men in the matchup

1416
00:57:26,442 --> 00:57:28,611
and he's one of the final
two men remaining.

1417
00:57:28,912 --> 00:57:30,513
Chavo whipped across the ring.

1418
00:57:30,647 --> 00:57:31,982
-[Tazz] Yo!
-[Michael] Big back body drop,

1419
00:57:32,049 --> 00:57:33,850
London's in control suddenly.

1420
00:57:33,917 --> 00:57:35,319
[Tazz] I'll tell you what,
the tide has turned.

1421
00:57:35,384 --> 00:57:37,453
-Look at that dropsault.
-[Michael] Dropkick, here's the cover,

1422
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,022
hook of the leg, kick-out.

1423
00:57:39,089 --> 00:57:41,792
[Tazz] Beautiful dropsault by Paul London.

1424
00:57:41,857 --> 00:57:43,125
He nailed that.

1425
00:57:44,161 --> 00:57:46,062
[Michael] And look at this,
knee to the midsection.

1426
00:57:46,129 --> 00:57:48,932
Chavo Guerrero bouncing London
off the top turnbuckle.

1427
00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:50,834
[Tazz] Now, what?

1428
00:57:51,134 --> 00:57:54,904
Hooking over-- well, maybe going
for a-- Chavo going for-- go behind.

1429
00:57:54,971 --> 00:57:56,540
[Michael] Look at this.
Rolling him up, shoulders down.

1430
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,375
Look at down here, Chavo rolled out.
And look at Chavo.

1431
00:57:59,442 --> 00:58:01,243
-Chavo's got the damn ropes!
-[bell rings]

1432
00:58:01,345 --> 00:58:03,480
[Michael] Chavo stole the match
using the ropes!

1433
00:58:03,547 --> 00:58:04,881
["Chavito Ardiente" playing]

1434
00:58:04,948 --> 00:58:07,683
[Chimel] Here's your winner, and the new

1435
00:58:07,817 --> 00:58:10,620
Cruiserweight Champion of the world,

1436
00:58:10,687 --> 00:58:13,223
Chavo Guerrero!

1437
00:58:13,290 --> 00:58:16,093
[Tazz] I'll tell you what.
By hook or crook,

1438
00:58:16,158 --> 00:58:18,729
Chavo Guerrero leaving No Way Out

1439
00:58:18,794 --> 00:58:21,298
with new cruiserweight gold, man.

1440
00:58:21,431 --> 00:58:22,765
What a matchup.

1441
00:58:22,832 --> 00:58:25,202
[Michael] Yeah,
but what an effort by Paul London.

1442
00:58:25,268 --> 00:58:27,770
Paul London, what an effort by that kid.

1443
00:58:27,837 --> 00:58:31,774
He started the matchup, almost pulled off
the upset over Chavo Guerrero.

1444
00:58:31,841 --> 00:58:34,044
He used the ropes to pick up the victory.

1445
00:58:34,111 --> 00:58:36,846
[Tazz] Oh, I don't disagree at all,
but let's take a look at Funaki,

1446
00:58:36,913 --> 00:58:38,948
the champion that went into this match.

1447
00:58:39,149 --> 00:58:43,185
And you see here, just getting warmed up,
small package by Paul London.

1448
00:58:43,252 --> 00:58:45,122
Stacked him up and then Spike comes in.

1449
00:58:45,187 --> 00:58:47,424
[Michael] And Spike Dudley
would be eliminated

1450
00:58:47,491 --> 00:58:49,658
after Funaki got a little bit
of payback here.

1451
00:58:49,725 --> 00:58:50,727
Bang!

1452
00:58:50,794 --> 00:58:52,395
[Tazz] Well, big time payback,

1453
00:58:52,462 --> 00:58:53,730
but he kinda deserved that.

1454
00:58:53,797 --> 00:58:56,332
Paul London picking up
the scraps as I like to say,

1455
00:58:56,399 --> 00:58:58,201
getting the victory over Spike.

1456
00:58:58,268 --> 00:59:01,004
[Michael] And Paul London
was still rolling using the 450 Splash

1457
00:59:01,071 --> 00:59:02,506
-to knock out Shannon Moore.
-[Tazz] Look at this.

1458
00:59:02,638 --> 00:59:04,274
How impressive was that move?

1459
00:59:04,341 --> 00:59:06,609
Ladies and gentlemen,
that is so hard to pull off.

1460
00:59:06,676 --> 00:59:08,345
I could tell you, I never could do it.

1461
00:59:08,412 --> 00:59:10,547
But check this out. Check this out.

1462
00:59:10,946 --> 00:59:13,884
That neckbreaker, I said it earlier,
Cole, I said the same thing on line,

1463
00:59:13,984 --> 00:59:16,620
I thought Akio was going
for the beautiful neckbreaker,

1464
00:59:16,685 --> 00:59:17,953
but London ate some of that.

1465
00:59:18,020 --> 00:59:20,290
[Michael] Yeah, but Akio did not
make the ten-count, was eliminated.

1466
00:59:20,357 --> 00:59:22,091
It was down to Chavo and Paul London.

1467
00:59:22,158 --> 00:59:24,995
I thought London had Chavo here,
but Chavo rolled through,

1468
00:59:25,062 --> 00:59:26,863
and watch him grab the rope.

1469
00:59:26,930 --> 00:59:29,899
[Tazz] You know, you're calling it cheap
trick or whatever you wanna call it, Cole.

1470
00:59:29,966 --> 00:59:32,569
The fact of the matter
is that championship there,

1471
00:59:32,636 --> 00:59:35,839
I'm telling you, you gotta win a match
by any means necessary

1472
00:59:35,906 --> 00:59:39,910
and Chavo Guerrero just proved
how important to become a champion is.

1473
00:59:40,009 --> 00:59:41,444
Not that it wasn't important
to Paul London

1474
00:59:41,511 --> 00:59:44,647
or the rest of the athletes in there,
but Chavo Guerrero deserves credit.

1475
00:59:44,714 --> 00:59:46,783
-He's the new champion.
-We've got two title matches tonight

1476
00:59:46,850 --> 00:59:48,984
at No Way Out and one more to come.

1477
00:59:49,051 --> 00:59:50,520
Two titles have already changed hands.

1478
00:59:50,587 --> 00:59:53,656
Could it be an omen
for the big Barbed Wire Steel Cage match

1479
00:59:53,723 --> 00:59:55,991
for the WWE Championship later on?

1480
00:59:56,058 --> 00:59:58,995
And one man who had a keen interest
in that matchup,

1481
00:59:59,062 --> 01:00:01,231
who is expected here tonight at No Way Out

1482
01:00:01,298 --> 01:00:04,401
is the Royal Rumble winner, Raw's Batista.

1483
01:00:04,500 --> 01:00:06,937
And remember what happened
this past Thursday night on SmackDown.

1484
01:00:07,002 --> 01:00:10,740
Upset that he almost got run over
by JBL's limo on Raw,

1485
01:00:10,807 --> 01:00:13,542
Batista would show up
at SmackDown this past Thursday night

1486
01:00:13,609 --> 01:00:15,044
and take out his anger

1487
01:00:15,111 --> 01:00:17,614
-on JBL's limousine.
-[crowd cheering]

1488
01:00:17,681 --> 01:00:21,183
[Tazz] Oh, look at this.
A picture is worth a thousand words,

1489
01:00:21,250 --> 01:00:24,587
and JBL's face, he's livid.
I think he was in shock.

1490
01:00:24,687 --> 01:00:26,656
I think the cabinet--
they're all in shock.

1491
01:00:27,124 --> 01:00:30,961
You know, I didn't expect Batista could--
Batista could do this kinda damage.

1492
01:00:31,161 --> 01:00:34,631
I mean, what could quite possibly
be in store for JBL.

1493
01:00:35,265 --> 01:00:36,665
[Michael] Yeah,
if he did that damage to a limousine,

1494
01:00:36,732 --> 01:00:38,567
what could be in store
for JBL here tonight?

1495
01:00:38,634 --> 01:00:39,636
[Tazz] That part hurt me.

1496
01:00:39,703 --> 01:00:42,906
[Michael] And we saw the arrival of JBL
on Sunday Night Heat earlier tonight

1497
01:00:42,973 --> 01:00:47,243
in a limousine without the long horns
which were destroyed by Batista.

1498
01:00:47,310 --> 01:00:50,247
Now, JBL would send the cabinet
out to try to get Batista.

1499
01:00:50,312 --> 01:00:55,252
Batista would drive away,
leaving JBL out cold with some problems

1500
01:00:55,317 --> 01:00:57,921
in the form of the seven-foot,
470, Big Show.

1501
01:00:57,988 --> 01:01:00,823
[Tazz] And I said-- as I was saying,
tonight it went from bad to worse.

1502
01:01:00,890 --> 01:01:04,261
Then the largest athlete in the world
comes out to face JBL

1503
01:01:04,327 --> 01:01:07,464
and just JBL was getting decimated,
here comes the cabinet.

1504
01:01:07,531 --> 01:01:08,999
[Michael]
But you will not see this tonight.

1505
01:01:09,065 --> 01:01:13,102
The cabinet will not be able to help out
JBL tonight in that steel cage match.

1506
01:01:13,169 --> 01:01:15,805
A low blow would be legal
in the steel cage match though.

1507
01:01:15,872 --> 01:01:18,908
But just as the cabinet and JBL
had Big Show down,

1508
01:01:18,975 --> 01:01:20,609
who would come to the rescue?

1509
01:01:20,676 --> 01:01:23,245
-None other than Raw's Batista.
-[Tazz] I'm not too sure, Cole.

1510
01:01:23,312 --> 01:01:24,614
I don't know. I beg to differ.

1511
01:01:24,681 --> 01:01:28,018
I don't know if he came--
Batista came to rescue Big Show.

1512
01:01:28,084 --> 01:01:31,888
I think Batista came for some of JBL,
that's the way I see that.

1513
01:01:32,788 --> 01:01:33,924
I'll tell you what, this guy is a freak.

1514
01:01:33,990 --> 01:01:35,825
Well, they call him
The Animal over on Raw.

1515
01:01:35,892 --> 01:01:37,493
I think he'd look good on SmackDown.

1516
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,296
I don't think JBL
would agree with me though.

1517
01:01:39,361 --> 01:01:42,966
[Michael] Well, Evolution's "Animal"
Batista came face to face

1518
01:01:43,098 --> 01:01:46,403
with the Big Show, but their target,

1519
01:01:46,469 --> 01:01:50,707
JBL, who's in a world
of trouble here tonight.

1520
01:01:50,774 --> 01:01:53,109
You understand me?
I don't care who you are…

1521
01:01:54,176 --> 01:01:56,178
[crowd cheering]

1522
01:02:01,917 --> 01:02:04,854
[Michael] You are looking live
at the Big Show here at the Mellon Arena,

1523
01:02:05,288 --> 01:02:07,591
deep in thought, serious night tonight,

1524
01:02:07,656 --> 01:02:09,593
-putting his body on the line…
-[Tazz] Well…

1525
01:02:09,658 --> 01:02:11,428
[Michael]
…in the Barbed Wire Steel Cage match.

1526
01:02:11,493 --> 01:02:12,995
[Tazz] …it affects your--
and there it is.

1527
01:02:13,062 --> 01:02:17,634
I mean, that structure affects
what happens in the career of the Big Show

1528
01:02:17,701 --> 01:02:21,538
and he's thinking about that,
and it's also gonna effect JBL's career.

1529
01:02:21,605 --> 01:02:24,274
That barbed wire will slice
and dice your skin, I'm telling you.

1530
01:02:24,341 --> 01:02:26,475
[Michael] And the WWE Championship's
on the line.

1531
01:02:26,542 --> 01:02:29,479
The winner of the matchup will go
into the main even at WrestleMania

1532
01:02:29,546 --> 01:02:32,781
as Tazz-- why don't you run through
the rules now of this unique matchup?

1533
01:02:32,915 --> 01:02:33,984
[Tazz] It's pretty straightforward.

1534
01:02:34,049 --> 01:02:37,220
You win by pinfall
or submission or escaping.

1535
01:02:37,287 --> 01:02:40,557
Now, as far as escape goes, I mean,
as I pointed out at Sunday Night Heat,

1536
01:02:40,624 --> 01:02:43,359
you can't escape like a traditional
cage match through the door

1537
01:02:43,426 --> 01:02:45,694
because the door will be locked shut
throughout the whole thing.

1538
01:02:45,761 --> 01:02:48,198
And how the hell do you go
over the top of the steel cage

1539
01:02:48,265 --> 01:02:49,832
with all that barbed wire there?

1540
01:02:49,899 --> 01:02:51,500
And then-- I mean,
how do you deal with that?

1541
01:02:51,567 --> 01:02:53,636
I mean, that-- how do you deal with it?

1542
01:02:53,703 --> 01:02:55,504
-You can't.
-[Michael] The steel cage has no friends.

1543
01:02:55,571 --> 01:02:59,174
The steel cage
has only enemies here tonight.

1544
01:03:01,310 --> 01:03:03,379
[narrator] The WrestleMania recall.

1545
01:03:03,446 --> 01:03:05,348
[rock music playing]

1546
01:03:11,288 --> 01:03:14,124
[Gene] This match is coming off,
this Gimmick Battle Royal

1547
01:03:14,190 --> 01:03:18,395
and certainly is gonna be truly one of
the highlights of this spectacular time.

1548
01:03:18,727 --> 01:03:20,263
[Heenan]
And this is something, "Mean" Gene.

1549
01:03:20,330 --> 01:03:21,330
I love it.

1550
01:03:21,397 --> 01:03:24,267
By the time The Iron Sheik gets
to the ring, it will be WrestleMania 38.

1551
01:03:24,334 --> 01:03:25,335
Here we go.

1552
01:03:25,402 --> 01:03:27,337
-[bell rings]
-[Gene] Hey, sound of the bell.

1553
01:03:27,437 --> 01:03:29,939
And we're off and running
with the Gimmick Battle Royal.

1554
01:03:30,006 --> 01:03:31,674
Eighteen men in all in the ring,

1555
01:03:31,741 --> 01:03:33,143
men are flying out of this ring

1556
01:03:33,209 --> 01:03:34,611
right, left, right now, Bobby.

1557
01:03:34,678 --> 01:03:36,812
I don't I've ever seen a Battle Royal

1558
01:03:36,879 --> 01:03:39,415
where people have been eliminated
quite so quickly.

1559
01:03:39,482 --> 01:03:41,951
[Heenan] The clown is gone!
Watch this, watch this!

1560
01:03:42,051 --> 01:03:43,252
-The Iron Sheik wins it!
-[bell ringing]

1561
01:03:43,386 --> 01:03:45,855
The Iron Sheik wins it!
I told you, old gun.

1562
01:03:45,922 --> 01:03:47,223
[crowd cheering]

1563
01:03:48,625 --> 01:03:52,127
And 42 days from WrestleMania
and the night before WrestleMania

1564
01:03:52,194 --> 01:03:54,096
at the Universal Amphitheater
in Hollywood,

1565
01:03:54,163 --> 01:03:58,768
the induction of the 2005 class of the WWE
Hall of Fame and among the inductees,

1566
01:03:58,835 --> 01:04:01,504
-none other than The Iron Sheik.
-Can't wait.

1567
01:04:01,571 --> 01:04:03,906
That's gonna be off the chain,
as is what we've got going on in the ring.

1568
01:04:03,973 --> 01:04:06,375
-Go to that, we got Divas everywhere.
-It is time for the Divas.

1569
01:04:06,442 --> 01:04:07,477
Divas.

1570
01:04:07,544 --> 01:04:08,645
-[laughs]
-[Torrie] Okay.

1571
01:04:10,346 --> 01:04:11,881
[Chimel] All right, ladies and gentlemen,

1572
01:04:11,948 --> 01:04:14,817
it is now the second round

1573
01:04:15,384 --> 01:04:18,654
of the SmackDown
Rookie Diva of the Year contest.

1574
01:04:18,721 --> 01:04:21,390
Let me first reintroduce our contestants.

1575
01:04:21,457 --> 01:04:23,926
First, Joy Giovanni.

1576
01:04:23,993 --> 01:04:25,761
[crowd cheering]

1577
01:04:27,731 --> 01:04:29,799
[Chimel] Rochelle Loewen.

1578
01:04:29,866 --> 01:04:31,868
[crowd cheering]

1579
01:04:33,535 --> 01:04:35,605
[Chimel] Lauren Jones.

1580
01:04:35,672 --> 01:04:37,941
[crowd cheering]

1581
01:04:38,006 --> 01:04:41,211
[Chimel] And Michelle McCool.

1582
01:04:41,277 --> 01:04:43,279
[Tazz] Well, I know
who I'm voting for already. I know.

1583
01:04:44,013 --> 01:04:45,281
[Michael] I do to.

1584
01:04:46,950 --> 01:04:50,153
All right.
Welcome to round two of the SmackDown

1585
01:04:50,220 --> 01:04:53,156
Diva Rookie of the Year contest.

1586

[crowd cheering]

1587
01:04:55,692 --> 01:04:59,828
In this round,
each diva is going to show us

1588
01:04:59,895 --> 01:05:02,432
her very special talent.

1589

[crowd cheering]

1590
01:05:05,167 --> 01:05:07,337
Well, this is gonna be interesting.

1591
01:05:09,138 --> 01:05:10,839
-Okay.
-Yeah. Interesting.

1592
01:05:10,906 --> 01:05:14,711
Joy, Joy Giovanni, what is your
very special talent this evening?

1593
01:05:15,511 --> 01:05:17,781
Well, Torrie, my talent is massage.

1594
01:05:17,846 --> 01:05:20,649
And if it's okay I'd like to massage…

1595
01:05:20,716 --> 01:05:22,384
[crowd chatter]

1596
01:05:23,285 --> 01:05:24,354
[laughs]

1597
01:05:24,421 --> 01:05:26,723
I'd like to massage you, Torrie.

1598
01:05:26,790 --> 01:05:29,325
-[crowd cheering]
-Could you lay down for me?

1599
01:05:29,392 --> 01:05:31,294
[Tazz] Well, that's a great idea.
Phenomenal.

1600
01:05:32,127 --> 01:05:33,930
Okay. Let's get a--
you don't even need a table. Just--

1601
01:05:35,198 --> 01:05:36,198
Oh, man.

1602
01:05:36,265 --> 01:05:37,366
[crowd cheering]

1603
01:05:37,866 --> 01:05:41,069
[Michael] Okay.
My masseuses don't dress like that.

1604
01:05:41,136 --> 01:05:43,006
Well, they're guys too, but--

1605
01:05:43,071 --> 01:05:44,607
[Tazz chuckles] Wow.

1606
01:05:44,674 --> 01:05:46,408
What-- yo! Okay.

1607
01:05:46,475 --> 01:05:48,011
Do they do that?
They don't do that, right?

1608
01:05:48,077 --> 01:05:50,180
But I'll tell you, I need to find
a masseuse like this.

1609
01:05:50,245 --> 01:05:52,214
-[Michael] Oh, my.
-[Tazz] I didn't know that, uh,

1610
01:05:52,281 --> 01:05:54,049
Torrie had this specialty.

1611
01:05:55,185 --> 01:05:57,020
-This is…
-[upbeat music playing]

1612
01:05:57,086 --> 01:05:58,354
[Michael] Oh, my.

1613

[crowd chatter]

1614
01:05:59,955 --> 01:06:00,957
[Michael] Well.

1615
01:06:01,024 --> 01:06:02,959
[man] Free massage over here, baby.

1616
01:06:10,533 --> 01:06:11,935
[Michael] Dawn does not look pleased.

1617
01:06:12,368 --> 01:06:13,803
That was nice. Thank you.

1618
01:06:14,270 --> 01:06:16,205
Oh. Wait up.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

1619
01:06:16,272 --> 01:06:18,908
-Are you kidding me?
-What?

1620
01:06:19,042 --> 01:06:22,312
You call yourself a massage therapist?

1621
01:06:22,712 --> 01:06:23,712
Yes.

1622
01:06:24,446 --> 01:06:26,716
I could give a better rub than that.

1623
01:06:27,116 --> 01:06:29,384
That was absolutely pathetic.

1624
01:06:30,386 --> 01:06:34,491
Right. And if you don't believe Dawn,
just ask anyone of the guys in the back.

1625
01:06:34,557 --> 01:06:36,759
-Go back.
-[crowd chatter]

1626
01:06:37,227 --> 01:06:40,830
Rochelle Loewen, what is your
very special talent tonight?

1627
01:06:41,464 --> 01:06:44,267
Well, first I wanna say,
"What up, Pittsburgh?"

1628
01:06:44,334 --> 01:06:45,667
-[crowd cheering]
-Woo!

1629
01:06:45,734 --> 01:06:47,002
Love you!

1630
01:06:47,069 --> 01:06:48,270
Love you, guys.

1631
01:06:48,337 --> 01:06:50,607
Okay. So I'm gonna tell a couple of jokes.

1632
01:06:50,673 --> 01:06:53,676
Ha, ha, ha.
How do you make a Kleenex dance?

1633
01:06:53,743 --> 01:06:54,777
[crowd chatter]

1634
01:06:54,843 --> 01:06:56,812
You put a little boogie in it!

1635
01:06:56,879 --> 01:06:58,214
Yeah!

1636
01:06:58,281 --> 01:07:00,015
-Woo!
-[crowd booing]

1637
01:07:00,082 --> 01:07:01,750
Whoa, whoa. Oh, you don't like that?

1638
01:07:01,817 --> 01:07:03,019
I have another one.

1639
01:07:03,086 --> 01:07:04,087
Are you kidding me?

1640
01:07:04,153 --> 01:07:05,821
Honey, honey, honey, honey,
honey, honey, give me this.

1641
01:07:05,888 --> 01:07:06,955
You're gonna hurt yourself.

1642
01:07:07,022 --> 01:07:08,156
-Here you go, Torrie.
-[Michael laughs]

1643
01:07:08,223 --> 01:07:09,692
The only joke around here
is you, sweetheart.

1644
01:07:09,759 --> 01:07:11,528
Get back into your little spot.

1645
01:07:11,593 --> 01:07:12,861
Go, go.

1646
01:07:12,928 --> 01:07:14,364
Go. Stay, stay.

1647
01:07:14,430 --> 01:07:16,031
-[Torrie] Okay.
-Good girl. Good girl.

1648
01:07:16,098 --> 01:07:18,935
-Next, please? This is--
-Lauren Jones, what do you got?

1649
01:07:19,569 --> 01:07:22,839
All right, Torrie, well, tonight,
I'm gonna do a little dance for the crowd.

1650
01:07:22,906 --> 01:07:25,774
-[crowd cheering]
-All right. DJ, hit the music.

1651
01:07:26,442 --> 01:07:27,442
[Michael] DJ Skribble?

1652
01:07:27,509 --> 01:07:29,611
[upbeat music playing]

1653
01:07:29,678 --> 01:07:31,114
[Tazz] All right.

1654
01:07:33,383 --> 01:07:34,683
All right. This is cool.

-Honey.
-[crowd cheering]

1658
01:08:11,254 --> 01:08:12,622
I can't-- I can't take it anymore, Torrie.

1659
01:08:12,689 --> 01:08:14,290
Honey, honey, honey, honey.

1660
01:08:14,357 --> 01:08:16,492
Go back. Come on. You know what?

1661
01:08:16,559 --> 01:08:20,228
Don't quit your day job
because if you strip for a living,

1662
01:08:20,295 --> 01:08:22,031
you might make 50 cents.

1663
01:08:22,098 --> 01:08:23,299
-Go.
-I'll never be--

1664

[crowd chatter]

1665
01:08:24,500 --> 01:08:26,769
Nobody asked her to dance
on a pole tonight.

1666
01:08:27,769 --> 01:08:30,807
All right. Last but certainly not least,

1667
01:08:30,872 --> 01:08:32,841
Michelle McCool, what do you got for us?

1668
01:08:33,076 --> 01:08:34,544
Oh, jeez.

1669
01:08:35,310 --> 01:08:36,478
Well, Torrie.

1670
01:08:36,912 --> 01:08:40,282
My special talent
is gonna be a bit more physical

1671
01:08:40,782 --> 01:08:44,987
because frankly, me,
and probably all these Pittsburgh fans

1672
01:08:45,054 --> 01:08:48,191
are tired of somebody running their mouth.

1673
01:08:48,256 --> 01:08:49,459
[crowd cheering]

1674
01:08:49,524 --> 01:08:50,893
Are you kidding me?

1675
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:55,063
What are you gonna do to impress me?

1676
01:08:55,130 --> 01:08:57,332
-What do you have-- Torrie!
-[Tazz] Hey!

1677
01:08:57,399 --> 01:08:59,335
[Michael] Whoa, whoa-- hey! Wait a minute!

1678
01:08:59,402 --> 01:09:00,769
[crowd cheering]

1679
01:09:02,071 --> 01:09:03,072
[Tazz] Wow.

1680
01:09:03,139 --> 01:09:05,041
A hell of a slam there by Michelle.

1681
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:06,943
-[Michael] That was talented.
-[upbeat music playing]

1682
01:09:07,010 --> 01:09:09,144
-[Tazz] Sure.
-[Michael] I couldn't do that.

1683
01:09:09,211 --> 01:09:10,345
[Tazz] Well, I know that.

1684
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:11,714
Well, Dawn. I don't--

1685
01:09:11,781 --> 01:09:13,715
I don't think Dawn's happy right now.
It's not a--

1686
01:09:14,216 --> 01:09:16,051
[Michael] I think she's embarrassed,
a bit angry.

1687
01:09:16,385 --> 01:09:18,420
-[Tazz] Dawn's not happy either.
-[Chimel] All right. Ladies and gentlemen,

1688
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:22,759
remember, voting is now open on wwe.com.

1689
01:09:22,825 --> 01:09:24,359
And who will you vote for?

1690
01:09:24,426 --> 01:09:27,764
Will it be Joy Giovanni?

1691
01:09:27,830 --> 01:09:30,433
-[Michael] Yup.
-[crowd cheering]

1692
01:09:30,500 --> 01:09:33,336
[Chimel] Will it be Rochelle Loewen?

1693
01:09:33,435 --> 01:09:34,569
[Tazz] That's the one.

1694
01:09:36,171 --> 01:09:39,509
[Chimel] Will it be Lauren Jones?

1695
01:09:39,575 --> 01:09:41,577
[crowd cheering]

1696
01:09:41,644 --> 01:09:45,247
[Chimel] Or will it be Michelle McCool?

1699
01:09:49,786 --> 01:09:51,520
JBL, in just a short while,

1700
01:09:51,586 --> 01:09:54,256
you will face your biggest challenge
to date as you defend

1701
01:09:54,322 --> 01:09:58,394
your WWE Championship
against the Big Show in the first ever

1702
01:09:58,461 --> 01:10:00,362
Barbed Wire Steel Cage match.

1703
01:10:00,862 --> 01:10:03,866
What are your thoughts
heading into this brutal contest?

1704
01:10:05,702 --> 01:10:07,070
You think I'm worried, son?

1705
01:10:08,071 --> 01:10:11,206
Teddy Long sticks me in a cage match
surrounded by barbed wire

1706
01:10:11,273 --> 01:10:13,076
and chains the door shut.

1707
01:10:13,142 --> 01:10:17,146
And then he has the audacity to say
if I escape the inescapable, I win.

1708
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,150
Or if I can pin
or make a giant submit, I win.

1709
01:10:23,019 --> 01:10:24,920
Son, I understand what I'm walking into.

1710
01:10:25,353 --> 01:10:26,956
I understand full well…

1711
01:10:27,557 --> 01:10:30,626
[angrily] …full damn well
that I will not look like this

1712
01:10:30,693 --> 01:10:33,763
when I walk out or I am carried out
of that ring tonight.

1713
01:10:34,230 --> 01:10:38,668
I understand blood is gonna flow like
a river and a lot of it is gonna be mine.

1714
01:10:39,235 --> 01:10:40,837
I understand I'm gonna be cut to shreds.

1715
01:10:40,903 --> 01:10:44,907
I understand the likelihood of me
being hurt is very, very high.

1716
01:10:45,541 --> 01:10:47,577
I am willing to go through that, son.

1717
01:10:47,977 --> 01:10:50,246
I am willing to go through that
and give up everything I have

1718
01:10:50,313 --> 01:10:52,815
including my future,
including my very life

1719
01:10:53,148 --> 01:10:56,519
because I understand this,
this body is temporary.

1720
01:10:56,652 --> 01:10:58,688
This championship is eternal.

1721
01:10:59,522 --> 01:11:02,592
The question you need to ask
is you need to ask Big Show,

1722
01:11:02,657 --> 01:11:05,528
"Are you willing to take
this championship from him?"

1723
01:11:05,595 --> 01:11:09,398
Are you willing to reach down to your soul
realizing you will not walk out the same

1724
01:11:09,465 --> 01:11:13,068
as you walked in if you try
to take this championship from me?

1725
01:11:13,135 --> 01:11:14,470
You call him the Big Show.

1726
01:11:14,536 --> 01:11:18,206
I say he's a sideshow freak
and he's got no heart!

1727
01:11:18,273 --> 01:11:21,677
I say he's got no soul
and I say he's got no guts.

1728
01:11:22,345 --> 01:11:24,213
But we're about to find out, aren't we?

1729
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:25,548
We're about to find out.

1730
01:11:26,549 --> 01:11:28,818
He wants the world
handed to him on a platter.

1731
01:11:28,885 --> 01:11:30,353
I took my world!

1732
01:11:31,353 --> 01:11:33,089
I am the WWE Champion for a reason.

1733
01:11:33,156 --> 01:11:36,425
The people will remember this day
not because David slew Goliath.

1734
01:11:36,492 --> 01:11:40,563
The people will remember this day
because it's the day that they realize

1735
01:11:40,630 --> 01:11:42,165
I am who I say I am.

1736
01:11:42,231 --> 01:11:45,233
I am the one and the only,
I am the almighty.

1737
01:11:45,300 --> 01:11:47,769
I am the wrestling god.

01:12:30,379 --> 01:12:32,215
no longer The Undertaker's yard.

1752
01:12:32,281 --> 01:12:34,684
[Tazz] Those are strong words
by a strong man

1753
01:12:34,750 --> 01:12:36,485
and that's that strong man right there,

1754
01:12:36,885 --> 01:12:38,888
the ever-barbaric Luther Reigns.

1755
01:12:38,955 --> 01:12:40,556
Look at those eyes, man.

1756
01:12:40,623 --> 01:12:41,724
[Michael]
Remember when Luther Reigns said

1757
01:12:41,791 --> 01:12:43,226
he will not be taken off his game

1758
01:12:43,291 --> 01:12:46,495
before The Undertaker
gets in the ring here tonight.

1759
01:12:47,563 --> 01:12:51,834
[Tazz] Well, we'll see. I mean, Cole,
as I can remember is this past-- hey.

1760
01:12:51,901 --> 01:12:53,236
One-on-one situation.

1761
01:12:53,336 --> 01:12:54,437
You get over there.

1762
01:12:54,503 --> 01:12:56,572
-This is a one-on-one situation.
-Get out of my face. Get out of my face.

1763
01:12:56,639 --> 01:12:58,441
Come one, Taker! I'm waiting for you!

1764
01:12:58,507 --> 01:12:59,775
Let's go!

1765
01:12:59,842 --> 01:13:01,277
-Come on!
-Let's go. Come on.

1766
01:13:01,344 --> 01:13:02,577
-What are you doing?
-Come on.

1767
01:13:02,644 --> 01:13:04,246
This is a one-on-one pinfall match.

1768
01:13:04,313 --> 01:13:05,447
-Get over there.
-Calm down.

1769
01:13:05,514 --> 01:13:07,383
Let's go. It's one-on-one with Taker.

1770
01:13:07,450 --> 01:13:08,517
Back into Luther's corner.

1771
01:13:08,584 --> 01:13:10,286
[crowd cheering]

1772
01:13:12,755 --> 01:13:14,456
[crowd chatter]

1773
01:13:14,523 --> 01:13:16,192
Listen to me.
I'm telling you, it's one-on-one.

1774
01:13:16,259 --> 01:13:18,059
-That's all I needed from you.
-[speaking indistinctly]

1775
01:13:18,126 --> 01:13:20,263
Guess what? You don't wanna listen?

1776
01:13:20,329 --> 01:13:21,597
-Get out of here.
-Get out?

1777
01:13:21,664 --> 01:13:24,367
-Get out of here.
-You can't do that.

1778
01:13:24,433 --> 01:13:26,434
[Michael] Well, the referee told Jindrak,
"If you don't wanna listen,

1779
01:13:26,535 --> 01:13:28,938
then you're not gonna be in ringside
for this matchup."

1780
01:13:29,005 --> 01:13:31,206
Great call by referee Brian Hebner.

1781
01:13:31,273 --> 01:13:33,675
[Tazz] Luther's not happy
and I don't blame him.

1782
01:13:33,742 --> 01:13:35,244
What the hell was that about there?

1783
01:13:35,678 --> 01:13:38,047
[Michael] Well, Mark Jindrak was saying
he wanted The Undertaker

1784
01:13:38,114 --> 01:13:41,550
for what The Undertaker did to him
this past Thursday night on SmackDown.

1785
01:13:41,617 --> 01:13:43,885
And we're gonna show to you
what The Undertaker did to Jindrak

1786
01:13:43,952 --> 01:13:45,688
in that one-on-one matchup.

1787
01:13:45,755 --> 01:13:48,090
The Undertaker in total control,

1788
01:13:48,157 --> 01:13:50,826
when Luther Reigns
would take the television camera.

1789
01:13:50,893 --> 01:13:54,297
Now, watch The Undertaker delivering
the Tombstone Piledriver to Jindrak.

1790
01:13:54,362 --> 01:13:56,365
But a cheap shot by Luther Reigns.

1791
01:13:56,432 --> 01:14:00,169
[Tazz] Luther Reigns is gonna get his--
oh, my God, that Tombstone!

1792
01:14:00,236 --> 01:14:02,772
That's why Jindrak was--
watch this though.

1793
01:14:02,838 --> 01:14:04,840
-This is the big picture here.
-[bell ringing]

1794
01:14:04,974 --> 01:14:07,543
-[Tazz] My God Almighty. Look at that.
-[bell ringing]

1795
01:14:08,311 --> 01:14:10,112
Right across the back of the head.

1796
01:14:10,179 --> 01:14:12,648
And you gotta wonder the condition
of the condition of the Deadman, Cole?

1797
01:14:12,715 --> 01:14:14,983
[Michael] You know, The Undertaker
is not going to any medical facility.

1798
01:14:15,050 --> 01:14:16,719
[Tazz] No, that was two days ago.

1799
01:14:16,786 --> 01:14:20,589
[Michael] We have to believe a concussion
could be in the offering after that attack

1800
01:14:20,656 --> 01:14:22,657
-by Luther Reigns Thursday night.
-["Rest In Peace" playing]

1801
01:14:22,724 --> 01:14:24,727
[crowd cheering]

1802
01:14:30,232 --> 01:14:32,668
[Chimel] And from Death Valley,

1803
01:14:32,735 --> 01:14:36,505
weighing in at 305 pounds,

1804
01:14:37,206 --> 01:14:40,809
The Undertaker!

1805
01:14:40,876 --> 01:14:42,644
[crowd cheering]

1806
01:14:43,879 --> 01:14:46,648
["Rest In Peace" continues]

1807
01:15:17,313 --> 01:15:21,050
[Michael] Tazz, one of the reasons
The Undertaker has been so successful

1808
01:15:21,117 --> 01:15:24,120
over the years is because of this.

1809
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:28,456
This bone-chilling eerie presence
by The Undertaker

1810
01:15:28,523 --> 01:15:32,728
which takes opponents out of their game
before the match even begins.

1811
01:15:33,396 --> 01:15:35,865
[Tazz] Well, the eyes tell
the story of Luther Reigns.

1812
01:15:35,931 --> 01:15:40,202
But, Undertaker, the eyes of
The Undertaker, the eyes of Luther Reigns.

1813
01:15:40,269 --> 01:15:41,337
Look at that.

1814
01:15:42,071 --> 01:15:44,440
[Michael]
Luther Reigns is not intimidated.

1815
01:15:44,507 --> 01:15:49,010
He says he will not be taken off his game
before The Undertaker gets into the ring,

1816
01:15:49,077 --> 01:15:52,681
saying he's not scared of darkness,
that he's already gone.

1817
01:15:52,748 --> 01:15:55,151
"What more can you do to me, Undertaker?"

1818
01:15:55,217 --> 01:15:59,155
"I spent five years of my life
in darkness behind bars."

1819
01:15:59,688 --> 01:16:04,260
[Tazz] Luther Reigns has been through
hell and back in the joint, in prison.

1820
01:16:05,260 --> 01:16:06,394
I mean, everything.

1821
01:16:06,562 --> 01:16:09,264
Everything the man's been through
five calendar years.

1822
01:16:09,331 --> 01:16:14,303
And now, if I'm Luther Reigns
and I've been through that?

1823
01:16:15,071 --> 01:16:17,039
I'll tell you what Cole,
I would fear no man either.

1824
01:16:17,473 --> 01:16:20,175
And look, you can see it.
That man, Luther Reigns is not sweating

1825
01:16:20,242 --> 01:16:21,242
the Deadman.

1826
01:16:21,309 --> 01:16:24,647
[Michael] A victory over The Undertaker
could indeed make the squared circle

1827
01:16:24,713 --> 01:16:27,383
Luther Reigns' yard here tonight.

1828
01:16:28,517 --> 01:16:31,519
-Reigns has been shot, he's been stabbed.
-[inaudible]

1829
01:16:31,987 --> 01:16:35,257
[Michael] He had his throat cut
from ear to ear and left for dead.

1830
01:16:35,691 --> 01:16:39,829
Twenty-three hours a day
in solitary confinement in prison.

1831
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:43,933
And tonight, hopes to channel
that anger against The Undertaker.

1832
01:16:43,999 --> 01:16:46,802
[Tazz] Well, Undertaker feels like
he's gotta put something on Luther too.

1833
01:16:46,869 --> 01:16:48,771
Luther costing the Undertaker,

1834
01:16:48,838 --> 01:16:50,973
in that Number One Contender's
Tournament weeks back,

1835
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,608
a chance to go on
to main event in WrestleMania

1836
01:16:53,675 --> 01:16:56,745
where Undertaker is the king
of WrestleMania, undefeated.

1837
01:16:56,812 --> 01:16:58,147
-[Michael] 12-0.
-[Tazz] There you go.

1838
01:16:58,746 --> 01:17:01,282
[Michael] Undertaker 12-0 at WrestleMania.

1839
01:17:01,450 --> 01:17:02,885
You had to believe if he had…

1840
01:17:02,985 --> 01:17:04,887
[crowd cheering]

1841
01:17:04,954 --> 01:17:07,956
…had the opportunity to win
the Number One Contender's Tournament,

1842
01:17:08,023 --> 01:17:09,724
that he would've won
at WrestleMania again.

1843
01:17:09,791 --> 01:17:11,227
[Tazz] You think? [chuckles]

1844
01:17:11,293 --> 01:17:12,695
[Michael] Undertaker costing
Luther Reigns…

1845
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:14,263
-[bell ringing]
-[Michael] …and Mark Jindrak a chance

1846
01:17:14,330 --> 01:17:16,799
for the tag team championships
as well a couple of weeks ago.

1847
01:17:16,866 --> 01:17:18,434
And here's The Undertaker
with the right hands

1848
01:17:18,534 --> 01:17:20,102
starting things of against Luther Reigns.

1849
01:17:20,169 --> 01:17:21,170
And if you're the veteran,

1850
01:17:21,237 --> 01:17:24,907
I guess you've gotta get the youngster
Luther Reigns out of his element early.

1851
01:17:24,974 --> 01:17:26,709
[Tazz] Yeah.
I think you definitely gotta do that.

1852
01:17:26,775 --> 01:17:28,510
I don't know if Luther Reigns
is a youngster.

1853
01:17:28,577 --> 01:17:30,478
I mean, maybe as far
as in-ring experience.

1854
01:17:30,579 --> 01:17:31,947
But Luther Reigns is a full-fledged man.

1855
01:17:32,014 --> 01:17:34,215
You can see it.
This man has been through--

1856
01:17:34,450 --> 01:17:36,452
-[Michael] Oh!
-[Tazz] Oh! Uh-oh.

1857
01:17:36,818 --> 01:17:39,355
[Michael] What a clubbing blow.
Now, a kick to the midsection.

1858
01:17:39,420 --> 01:17:41,991
-And Luther Reigns begins the assault.
-[Tazz] Well-- and right to that--

1859
01:17:42,057 --> 01:17:44,559
again, to that head. You know--

1860
01:17:44,626 --> 01:17:46,762
[Michael] Oh, and a boot
by the Undertaker, so quick!

1861
01:17:48,531 --> 01:17:50,965
[Tazz] Undertaker took some hit-- oh.
Let's see here.

1862
01:17:51,032 --> 01:17:52,535
Here's a quick cover by The Undertaker.

1863
01:17:52,601 --> 01:17:54,737
Shoulders down. Luther Reigns kicks out.

1864
01:17:54,803 --> 01:17:56,972
[Tazz] A mark of a veteran.
Not just a cover.

1865
01:17:57,039 --> 01:18:00,876
He locked the arm as he covered, so
he comes up with it if the man kicks out,

1866
01:18:00,943 --> 01:18:04,146
wrings the arm, and runs his shoulder
into the shoulder actually.

1867
01:18:04,213 --> 01:18:05,915
[Michael] Undertaker working
on that left arm.

1868
01:18:06,014 --> 01:18:08,817
The shoulders asset of Luther Reigns.

1869
01:18:09,318 --> 01:18:13,188
The veteran, The Undertaker looking
to dominate yet again here

1870
01:18:13,289 --> 01:18:14,790
at another pay-per-view.

1871
01:18:14,924 --> 01:18:16,358
[crowd cheering]

1872
01:18:16,425 --> 01:18:19,628
[Tazz] Gonna go a little old-school action
it looks like here, Cole.

1873
01:18:19,962 --> 01:18:22,063
Look at that balance of the Deadman. Yes.

1874
01:18:22,130 --> 01:18:24,166
[Michael] And this huge crowd
is with The Undertaker

1875
01:18:24,233 --> 01:18:26,468
at the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh.

1876
01:18:27,603 --> 01:18:29,871
[Tazz] Uh-oh. Hook-- hooked him here,
watch this. Oh!

1877
01:18:29,938 --> 01:18:31,941
[Michael] Face-first goes
Luther Reigns off the DDT.

1878
01:18:32,007 --> 01:18:33,008
Rolling into the cover.

1879
01:18:33,075 --> 01:18:36,512
Here's The Undertaker again
with a kick-out by Luther Reigns.

1880
01:18:36,579 --> 01:18:38,880
One thing you cannot forget
about Luther Reigns, Tazz,

1881
01:18:38,947 --> 01:18:42,318
he has spent a lot of time learning
from Kurt Angle,

1882
01:18:42,384 --> 01:18:44,019
the Olympic gold medalist.

1883
01:18:44,385 --> 01:18:46,589
[Tazz] And that's a great guy
to align yourself--

1884
01:18:46,655 --> 01:18:49,892
I'm sorry, a great athlete,
a great superstar in Kurt Angle

1885
01:18:49,959 --> 01:18:51,393
to align yourself with.

1886
01:18:51,626 --> 01:18:53,362
-[crowd laughing]
-[Tazz] Referee Brian Hebner…

1887
01:18:54,396 --> 01:18:55,664
[Michael] And look at this.

1888
01:18:55,731 --> 01:18:58,934
Luther Reigns trying to untie
that turnbuckle there,

1889
01:18:59,068 --> 01:19:00,269
the turnbuckle pad.

1890
01:19:00,336 --> 01:19:02,204
[Tazz] I don't think
the Deadman realized it at all.

1891
01:19:02,271 --> 01:19:04,818
Neither does the referee because he was
running away from The Undertaker.

1892
01:19:04,894 --> 01:19:06,175
[Michael] Knee to the midsection.
And you're right,

1893
01:19:06,242 --> 01:19:10,112
referee Brian Hebner does not realize
that steel turnbuckle has been exposed

1894
01:19:10,179 --> 01:19:12,313
as Luther Reigns begins the assault.

1895
01:19:12,815 --> 01:19:14,950
[Tazz] Looks like Luther Reigns going
for the headbutt… [speaks indistinctly]

1896
01:19:15,017 --> 01:19:17,219
[Michael] And Undertaker blocked it,
delivered an elbow of his own.

1897
01:19:17,286 --> 01:19:20,054
[Tazz] Well, yeah, Luther has been
working on early in the match--

1898
01:19:20,121 --> 01:19:23,157
Undertaker went for a backdrop
and Luther clubbed--

1899
01:19:23,224 --> 01:19:26,027
it looked like he clubbed onto--
Undertaker in the back of the head.

1900
01:19:26,661 --> 01:19:28,931
I don't know if that blocked
Undertaker along-- at all

1901
01:19:29,031 --> 01:19:30,833
but Undertaker looks like
he's pretty much on his game,

1902
01:19:30,933 --> 01:19:32,867
but, again, a few days ago,

1903
01:19:32,934 --> 01:19:35,170
Undertaker got smacked
in the back of the head

1904
01:19:35,638 --> 01:19:37,773
with a television camera by Luther Reigns.

1905
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:39,974
He's gotta still be feeling
the effect of that, The Undertaker.

1906
01:19:40,209 --> 01:19:43,178
[Michael] A right drop, Luther Reigns,
then a headbutt, then another right hand.

1907
01:19:43,245 --> 01:19:44,513
Luther whipped across the ring

1908
01:19:44,580 --> 01:19:47,148
and exploding out of the corner
with a clothesline of his own.

1909
01:19:47,215 --> 01:19:49,151
Into the cover. Hook of the leg.

1910
01:19:49,218 --> 01:19:51,085
Undertaker rolls the shoulder out.

1911
01:19:52,121 --> 01:19:55,224
[Tazz] Luther staying to his--
sticking to his game plan.

1912
01:19:57,026 --> 01:20:00,062
And I'll tell you-- Oh, my God,
to the head. Cole, I'm telling you.

1913
01:20:00,129 --> 01:20:02,231
And now you can see
The Undertaker's rocking here.

1914
01:20:02,298 --> 01:20:03,299
[Michael] Well, we told you,

1915
01:20:03,365 --> 01:20:05,034
The Undertaker's not wanting
to go to medical facilities,

1916
01:20:05,099 --> 01:20:07,969
so you have to believe some
sort of damage was sustained

1917
01:20:08,036 --> 01:20:09,737
-at the hands of that television camera.
-[Tazz] Uh-oh. Watch it.

1918
01:20:09,804 --> 01:20:11,240
-That buckle's uncovered.
-[Michael] Luther Reigns

1919
01:20:11,307 --> 01:20:13,375
into the exposed turnbuckle.

1920
01:20:13,709 --> 01:20:15,210
[Tazz] Top of his spine,

1921
01:20:15,510 --> 01:20:21,849
he being Luther Reigns,
driven to that unpadded steel ring.

1922
01:20:22,284 --> 01:20:23,452
What's The Undertaker doing?

1923
01:20:23,519 --> 01:20:25,353
[Michael] Undertaker outside the ring now.

1924
01:20:26,188 --> 01:20:29,258
Undertaker stalking his opponent,
Luther Reigns.

1925
01:20:29,325 --> 01:20:31,626
-Come on.
-[groans]

1926
01:20:31,693 --> 01:20:34,129
[Tazz] Undertaker's got Luther Reigns
right where he wants him.

1927
01:20:34,196 --> 01:20:35,764
[Michael] Well, this is
vintage Undertaker.

1928
01:20:35,831 --> 01:20:37,599
[Tazz] Sure is.
And look at Luther Reigns' head

1929
01:20:37,666 --> 01:20:39,101
just suspended in the air there.

1930
01:20:39,168 --> 01:20:41,937
[Michael] Watch out!
And an elbow driven to the jaw.

1931
01:20:42,204 --> 01:20:44,273
-Three.
-[Tazz] The point of the elbow.

1932
01:20:44,340 --> 01:20:47,409
[Michael] Welcome to the yard,
Luther Reigns.

1933
01:20:47,476 --> 01:20:48,943
[Tazz] Well, The Undertaker now

1934
01:20:49,010 --> 01:20:52,848
is showing Luther Reigns
why people fear him

1935
01:20:53,349 --> 01:20:57,019
for so long in this industry.

1936
01:20:57,085 --> 01:20:58,087
Look at this, Cole.

1937
01:20:58,152 --> 01:21:01,523
[Michael] 305-pound leg drop
across the throat.

1938
01:21:01,590 --> 01:21:03,858
Luther Reigns may be down and out.

1939
01:21:03,925 --> 01:21:07,563
[Tazz] Tremendous athleticism
by The Undertaker,

1940
01:21:07,629 --> 01:21:09,798
the height that he got on that leg drop.

1941
01:21:09,865 --> 01:21:12,468
[Michael] Tremendous elevation
by The Undertaker.

1942
01:21:12,534 --> 01:21:13,669
Luther Reigns back into the ring.

1943
01:21:13,736 --> 01:21:17,572
And now Undertaker, methodically,
will begin to stalk his opponent

1944
01:21:17,639 --> 01:21:18,974
as Luther Reigns begs off.

1945
01:21:19,041 --> 01:21:22,710
[Tazz] Yeah, look at him. And that's rare.
I'm shocked to see that Luther Reigns…

1946
01:21:24,612 --> 01:21:26,281
I'm-- [mumbles indistinctly]

1947
01:21:27,383 --> 01:21:30,385
Luther wants to--
wants to negotiate here but I think--

1948
01:21:30,452 --> 01:21:32,254
[Michael] Undertaker right on the attack
in the corner.

1949
01:21:32,321 --> 01:21:34,456
-[Tazz] Referee-- oh!
-[Michael] Oh, look at that.

1950
01:21:34,523 --> 01:21:38,227
A low blow by Luther Reigns.
Referee didn't see it.

1951
01:21:38,293 --> 01:21:40,996
Undertaker dropped by that low blow.

1952
01:21:41,063 --> 01:21:42,764
[Tazz] Well, Kurt Angle
taught Luther well and--

1953
01:21:42,831 --> 01:21:44,032
[Michael] And look at that.

1954
01:21:44,099 --> 01:21:47,202
The back of the head bounced
of the exposed turnbuckle.

1955
01:21:47,335 --> 01:21:51,340
Remember, that's the area of the skull
that Luther Reigns attacked Undertaker

1956
01:21:51,407 --> 01:21:53,909
with that television camera
just three nights ago.

1957
01:21:54,410 --> 01:21:57,045
[Tazz] Humongous turning point
in this match, Cole.

1958
01:21:57,112 --> 01:22:00,549
It just occurred.
Taker's hurt. He's gotta be hurt.

1959
01:22:00,616 --> 01:22:03,352
[Michael] But what about the wherewithal
of Reigns? First a low blow,

1960
01:22:03,419 --> 01:22:06,989
and then to use the exposed turnbuckle
to take the big man down.

1961
01:22:07,054 --> 01:22:08,322
[Tazz] What do you expect
from Luther Reigns?

1962
01:22:08,424 --> 01:22:10,025
Do you expect this guy to fight clean?

1963
01:22:10,092 --> 01:22:11,427
Where this guy's been?

1964
01:22:11,492 --> 01:22:14,129
Where this guy brags
about where he's been, in prison.

1965
01:22:14,496 --> 01:22:16,732
[Michael] Kidney-first into the apron.

1966
01:22:16,799 --> 01:22:21,269
And nothing pretty about this beating
by Luther Reigns to The Undertaker.

1967
01:22:21,335 --> 01:22:24,505
But I'm sure Luther Reigns has been
in many physical fights like this

1968
01:22:24,572 --> 01:22:26,541
in the prison yard over the years,

1969
01:22:26,608 --> 01:22:28,410
just battling for survival,

1970
01:22:28,544 --> 01:22:30,712
-which he's doing here tonight.
-[Tazz] Well, he's not a dummy either.

1971
01:22:30,779 --> 01:22:32,481
Luther Reigns breaking the count.

1972
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:34,983
Referee Hebner telling him,
"Get-- you stay in the ring."

1973
01:22:35,451 --> 01:22:36,617
That was good by Brian Hebner.

1974
01:22:36,684 --> 01:22:39,655
He knew that Luther Reigns was gonna
just break the count and go back.

1975
01:22:39,788 --> 01:22:41,290
He-- Hebner told him to stay in the ring.

1976
01:22:41,389 --> 01:22:43,724
[Michael] I don't envy the referee
in the matchup at all here

1977
01:22:43,826 --> 01:22:47,830
as Luther Reigns continues
to stomp away on The Undertaker.

1978
01:22:48,397 --> 01:22:52,000
Crowd, been alive all night
behind The Undertaker,

1979
01:22:52,067 --> 01:22:54,436
trying to get The Undertaker back
into this matchup.

1980
01:22:54,503 --> 01:22:58,040
[Tazz] This Luther Reigns is
a very vicious and dangerous man, Cole.

1981
01:22:58,440 --> 01:22:59,441
Ooh.

1982
01:22:59,508 --> 01:23:03,045
[Michael] With authority,
tossing The Undertaker around the ring.

1983
01:23:03,111 --> 01:23:06,615
The near 300-pounder
setting The Undertaker up.

1984
01:23:06,682 --> 01:23:08,916
Great suplex. Wow.

1985
01:23:08,983 --> 01:23:10,751
[Tazz] Nice pop on the hips
on that vertical suplex.

1986
01:23:10,818 --> 01:23:12,888
[Michael] Reigns into the cover.
He could do this here.

1987
01:23:13,021 --> 01:23:15,357
Hooking the leg
and Undertaker just shoves his way out.

1988
01:23:15,424 --> 01:23:16,925
[Tazz] Well, you know,
you gotta do a lot more

1989
01:23:17,025 --> 01:23:20,195
to, you know, to defeat The Undertaker,
and Luther knows that.

1990
01:23:20,262 --> 01:23:21,929
Luther's just trying
to wear down the Deadman,

1991
01:23:21,996 --> 01:23:23,764
but Deadman's condition is the question.

1992
01:23:23,831 --> 01:23:26,001
[Michael] But the bottom line
is we were just a second away

1993
01:23:26,068 --> 01:23:27,568
from a huge upset there.

1994
01:23:27,635 --> 01:23:29,838
[Tazz] I know, but I'm trying
to tell you is Undertaker's hurt.

1995
01:23:29,905 --> 01:23:31,106
His head was rocked.

1996
01:23:31,173 --> 01:23:33,075
He got hit-- he got hit in the head
with a TV camera

1997
01:23:33,141 --> 01:23:34,142
from Luther a few days ago.

1998
01:23:34,209 --> 01:23:36,111
And Luther is attacking the head
of The Undertaker.

1999
01:23:36,178 --> 01:23:39,081
[Michael] Now, you suffered concussions.
And, matter of fact, you had a concussion

2000
01:23:39,147 --> 01:23:40,581
-in WrestleMania before.
-[Tazz] Yup.

2001
01:23:40,648 --> 01:23:42,416
[Michael] And it takes
more than three days

2002
01:23:42,483 --> 01:23:45,053
-to get over that, to recover from.
-[Tazz] Sure does, Cole. Absolutely does.

2003
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,121
Now, I didn't get hit with a TV camera
but-- oh!

2004
01:23:47,990 --> 01:23:50,192
[Michael] Luther Reigns delivering
the elbow to the sternum.

2005
01:23:50,291 --> 01:23:53,462
Shoulders down
and Undertaker rolls the shoulder out.

2006
01:23:54,129 --> 01:23:55,531
[Tazz] You gotta figure
in the past few days,

2007
01:23:55,630 --> 01:23:57,065
that's probably affected
The Undertaker's training

2008
01:23:57,132 --> 01:23:59,334
or maybe lack thereof.
Maybe he couldn't train.

2009
01:23:59,401 --> 01:24:01,670
Maybe his head was all shot.
You never know.

2010
01:24:01,737 --> 01:24:05,440
And now a single leg Boston crab
by Luther Reigns.

2011
01:24:05,507 --> 01:24:06,675
-And--
-[groans]

2012
01:24:06,742 --> 01:24:08,443
[Michael] And that weight into the skull.

2013
01:24:08,510 --> 01:24:09,911
[Brian] Come on, you wanna give it up?

2014
01:24:11,480 --> 01:24:13,215
-[groans]
-[Brian] What do you say?

2015
01:24:13,282 --> 01:24:16,151
[Tazz] You don't hear that often,
Undertaker in pain.

2016
01:24:16,652 --> 01:24:18,019
Come on, what do you say?
You wanna give it up?

2017
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:22,523
[Michael] Luther Reigns is suddenly
in total control of the Deadman here.

2018
01:24:23,058 --> 01:24:24,026
Shoulders down

2019
01:24:24,126 --> 01:24:25,928
-and Undertaker rolls it out at two.
-Come on, ref!

2020
01:24:26,527 --> 01:24:28,096
-[Tazz] Well--
-[Michael] Referee Brian Hebner,

2021
01:24:28,163 --> 01:24:30,532
great position
as The Undertaker pops out again.

2022
01:24:31,333 --> 01:24:33,001
-Undertaker in a world of trouble here.
-[Tazz] I mean,

2023
01:24:33,068 --> 01:24:35,036
Undertaker might be going in and out
of consciousness, Cole,

2024
01:24:35,103 --> 01:24:36,103
you never know.

2025
01:24:36,170 --> 01:24:37,639
[Michael] Right hand
and another right hand.

2026
01:24:37,706 --> 01:24:39,775
Undertaker trying to throw hands
with Luther Reigns.

2027
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:42,577
There's the third right.
Can he break this-- a boot to the face.

2028
01:24:42,643 --> 01:24:43,644
-[Tazz] Oh!
-[Michael] Another boot.

2029
01:24:43,712 --> 01:24:45,013
Undertaker battling out.

2030
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,215
And Reigns is staggering a bit.

2031
01:24:47,282 --> 01:24:50,419
[Tazz] Well, that will slow anybody down,
a couple of kicks to the face.

2032
01:24:50,818 --> 01:24:52,454
Nice body shot. Another one.

2033
01:24:52,521 --> 01:24:55,223
[Michael] Right and lefts and another one
to the gut of Luther Reigns.

2034
01:24:55,424 --> 01:24:56,692
Undertaker throwing hands now.

2035
01:24:56,758 --> 01:24:59,460
What an uppercut!
Trying to take Reigns off his feet,

2036
01:24:59,527 --> 01:25:00,795
and a clothesline will.

2037
01:25:01,496 --> 01:25:04,700
[Tazz] Undertaker, the consummate pro,
the consummate veteran's got a cover.

2038
01:25:04,766 --> 01:25:07,536
[Michael] A cover, shoulders down.
Kick-out by Reigns at two.

2039
01:25:08,704 --> 01:25:11,106
[Tazz] Undertaker trying
to shake this thing off here.

2040
01:25:12,907 --> 01:25:14,977
[Tazz] Well, Deadman
looking like he's focused.

2041
01:25:15,043 --> 01:25:16,077
A headbutt, oof.

2042
01:25:16,143 --> 01:25:18,146
You gotta wonder
if he's feeling the effects of that.

2043
01:25:19,715 --> 01:25:21,849
[Michael] Reigns bouncing off
that top turnbuckle.

2044
01:25:23,451 --> 01:25:25,721
Undertaker whipped across the ring.

2045
01:25:27,089 --> 01:25:28,423
-Ooh, and a boot.
-[Tazz] That's the problem.

2046
01:25:28,490 --> 01:25:30,025
Don't hesitate
with The Undertaker, Reigns.

2047
01:25:30,092 --> 01:25:31,159
Watch out!

2048
01:25:32,094 --> 01:25:33,260
Nice tackle right there.

2049
01:25:33,327 --> 01:25:35,998
Version of a spear by Luther Reigns
right in the gut.

2050
01:25:36,098 --> 01:25:38,433
[Michael] Can Reigns take advantage?
Here's the cover. May have him here.

2051
01:25:38,500 --> 01:25:40,201
And Undertaker at two-and-a-half.

2052
01:25:40,268 --> 01:25:42,838
[Tazz] Might be wondering
why Luther Reigns did that spear

2053
01:25:42,904 --> 01:25:45,240
which would affect your midsection.
That wasn't the key.

2054
01:25:45,307 --> 01:25:47,943
I think the key was
to make The Undertaker land

2055
01:25:48,010 --> 01:25:49,510
on the back of his head and it worked.

2056
01:25:49,577 --> 01:25:51,780
[Michael] And again, a cover.
Again, a hook of the leg.

2057
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:54,683
And again, The Undertaker
has to exert a lot of energy

2058
01:25:54,750 --> 01:25:56,151
to pop out of the cover.

2059
01:25:57,318 --> 01:26:00,155
[Tazz] Luther Reigns' got
that violent grin on his face.

2060
01:26:00,222 --> 01:26:03,425
He senses victory
which would catapult his career

2061
01:26:03,492 --> 01:26:04,826
-in a huge way.
-[Michael] Look at this.

2062
01:26:04,893 --> 01:26:07,295
Luther Reigns going perhaps
for that neckbreaker here.

2063
01:26:07,362 --> 01:26:10,432
-[Tazz] Let's see. Oh, nice.
-[Michael] Undertaker, knee to the skull.

2064
01:26:10,599 --> 01:26:13,434
And right hands,
trying to get out of this predicament.

2065
01:26:14,201 --> 01:26:16,471
[Tazz] Deadman is fighting
his way out of problems

2066
01:26:16,538 --> 01:26:18,139
with Luther Reigns.

2067
01:26:18,206 --> 01:26:20,142
[Michael] Tell you, if Luther Reigns
had hit that neckbreaker,

2068
01:26:20,208 --> 01:26:21,742
he would've taken over the yard

2069
01:26:21,809 --> 01:26:24,045
as Undertaker battles back
with the right hands.

2070
01:26:25,347 --> 01:26:28,250
[Tazz] Nice high knee
to the sternum region of The Undertaker

2071
01:26:28,316 --> 01:26:29,550
by Luther Reigns.

2072
01:26:30,352 --> 01:26:32,420
[Michael] This has boiled down
to almost a sort of a street fight.

2073
01:26:32,487 --> 01:26:34,356
[Tazz] Well, this a physical,
physical battle here.

2074
01:26:34,423 --> 01:26:35,924
-Look at this.
-[Michael] Vintage Undertaker flying

2075
01:26:35,991 --> 01:26:37,893
through the air and taking Reigns out.

2076
01:26:37,959 --> 01:26:40,896
[Michael] Great height right there
and spring in the legs of The Undertaker.

2077
01:26:41,929 --> 01:26:43,799
Watch out. Watch out. Oh!

2078
01:26:43,865 --> 01:26:45,233
[Michael] What a clothesline.

2079
01:26:45,834 --> 01:26:47,268
[Tazz] Luther staggered out now.

2080
01:26:47,335 --> 01:26:48,937
I don't think Luther knows
where he is now.

2081
01:26:49,004 --> 01:26:50,739
[Michael] Yeah, but Luther Reigns
staying on his feet though.

2082
01:26:50,871 --> 01:26:53,075
Back into that exposed turnbuckle again.

2083
01:26:53,141 --> 01:26:55,744
-On the shoulder of The Undertaker.
-[Tazz] Oh, my God. Just look at this.

2084
01:26:55,811 --> 01:26:57,679
-I thought he was going for Snake Eyes.
-[Michael] Going for Snake Eyes.

2085
01:26:57,746 --> 01:26:59,947
That's what he was doing.
And a big boot off the face.

2086
01:27:02,017 --> 01:27:04,518
[Tazz] Watch out, watch out, watch out.
Look at this leg drop.

2087
01:27:04,820 --> 01:27:06,987
-Great height again.
-[Michael] Here's the cover again.

2088
01:27:07,054 --> 01:27:08,423
-Shoulders down.
-[Tazz] One, two.

2089
01:27:08,490 --> 01:27:10,826
[Michael] And Luther Reigns
at two kicks out.

2090
01:27:12,027 --> 01:27:13,128
-Wow.
-[Tazz] Undertaker--

2091
01:27:13,195 --> 01:27:15,464
-Undertaker has shifted this now.
-[crowd cheering]

2092
01:27:15,530 --> 01:27:16,831
[Tazz] I'm impressed
with Luther's toughness,

2093
01:27:16,898 --> 01:27:19,201
but I'm more impressed with that goozle,

2094
01:27:19,267 --> 01:27:20,402
and you know what's next.

2095
01:27:20,469 --> 01:27:23,271
[Michael] Luther Reigns going
for the chokeslam ride.

2096
01:27:23,338 --> 01:27:25,107
Planted high and tight.

2097
01:27:25,507 --> 01:27:27,541
And Undertaker back in control.

2098
01:27:27,608 --> 01:27:29,811
[crowd cheering]

2099
01:27:30,010 --> 01:27:33,115
[Tazz] This is the point in the match
where usually people are doneski.

2100
01:27:34,081 --> 01:27:37,152
And let's see if the Deadman
can finish off Luther.

2101
01:27:37,219 --> 01:27:39,154
[Michael] Going for
the Tombstone Piledriver.

2102
01:27:39,221 --> 01:27:40,956
Reigns though slides off the shoulder.

2103
01:27:41,322 --> 01:27:43,358
And then he hit the swinging neckbreaker.

2104
01:27:43,724 --> 01:27:45,626
Reigns hit the swinging neckbreaker.

2105
01:27:45,893 --> 01:27:47,763
Luther Reigns rolling toward a cover.

2106
01:27:47,929 --> 01:27:49,965
This could be a huge upset here.
Undertaker's down.

2107
01:27:50,031 --> 01:27:51,566
-[Tazz] Watch this.
-[Michael] Hook of the leg.

2108
01:27:51,633 --> 01:27:54,603
And Undertaker kicked out
of the swinging neckbreaker.

2109
01:27:54,669 --> 01:27:55,871
[Tazz] That swinging neckbreaker.

2110
01:27:55,971 --> 01:27:59,907
For sure Undertaker just got locked down
with that swinging neckbreaker.

2111
01:27:59,974 --> 01:28:02,878
[Michael] There may not have been
another man in the WWE

2112
01:28:02,943 --> 01:28:04,980
that could've kicked out
of that swinging neckbreaker,

2113
01:28:05,045 --> 01:28:06,548
but The Undertaker did.

2114
01:28:06,748 --> 01:28:08,950
-And now, Luther Reigns on the assault.
-[Brian] Three. Come on.

2115
01:28:09,017 --> 01:28:11,853
[Tazz] Luther Reigns doesn't
do things pretty in that ring.

2116
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:14,222
You hear time and time again
about superstars

2117
01:28:14,289 --> 01:28:18,460
with a, you know, that smack--
that smashmouth style.

2118
01:28:18,527 --> 01:28:19,561
And I'll tell you what,

2119
01:28:19,628 --> 01:28:21,396
-Reigns has got that full throttle.
-[Michael] And look at--

2120
01:28:21,463 --> 01:28:22,898
Reigns is going for it again.

2121
01:28:22,964 --> 01:28:25,367
Reigns going for another
swinging neckbreaker here.

2122
01:28:26,501 --> 01:28:28,870
[Tazz] He's gonna try to lock down Taker
again with this.

2123
01:28:28,969 --> 01:28:30,739
[Michael] And Taker with a reversal, DDT.

2124
01:28:30,806 --> 01:28:32,340
What a counter by the veteran.

2125
01:28:32,706 --> 01:28:35,210
-And Taker sat up.
-[crowd cheering]

2126
01:28:36,710 --> 01:28:38,746
[Tazz] Hell of a counter
by The Undertaker.

2127
01:28:39,481 --> 01:28:41,583
[crowd cheering]

2128
01:28:42,384 --> 01:28:43,884
[Tazz] Uh-oh for Reigns.

2129
01:28:44,352 --> 01:28:48,255
[Michael] Luther Reigns up high.
Undertaker with Reigns on his shoulder.

2130
01:28:48,322 --> 01:28:50,025
[Tazz] Oh, my God. Watch out here.

2131
01:28:50,559 --> 01:28:53,862
-Oh, God.
-[Michael] Tombstone Piledriver.

2132
01:28:54,262 --> 01:28:56,865
-Here's the cover.
-[crowd] One, two, three!

2133
01:28:56,965 --> 01:28:58,867
-[Michael] Undertaker victorious…
-[bell ringing]

2134
01:28:58,934 --> 01:29:00,201
[Michael] …at No Way Out.

2135
01:29:00,335 --> 01:29:01,837
["Rest In Peace" playing]

2136
01:29:02,603 --> 01:29:07,375
[Chimel] Here is your winner,
The Undertaker.

2137
01:29:07,442 --> 01:29:08,543
[Tazz] I'll tell you what,

2138
01:29:08,610 --> 01:29:12,746
extreme, extremely physical confrontation

2139
01:29:12,813 --> 01:29:14,749
by both these behemoths.

2140
01:29:14,816 --> 01:29:18,152
Luther Reigns was not victorious.

2141
01:29:18,253 --> 01:29:20,688
But I'll tell you what,
Luther fought hard.

2142
01:29:20,755 --> 01:29:22,389
He went at it toe-to-toe.

2143
01:29:23,058 --> 01:29:24,826
One of the greatest legends,

2144
01:29:24,893 --> 01:29:28,530
one of the greatest superstars ever
in WWE history,

2145
01:29:28,597 --> 01:29:30,130
and that man right there, The Undertaker.

2146
01:29:30,197 --> 01:29:33,034
[Michael] Well, Luther Reigns said
he did not fear The Undertaker

2147
01:29:33,134 --> 01:29:35,837
and there was no fear
for Luther Reigns here tonight.

2148
01:29:35,904 --> 01:29:39,340
But the bottom line is
with a Tombstone Piledriver,

2149
01:29:39,407 --> 01:29:44,112
The Undertaker picks up the victory
here at No Way Out.

2150
01:29:44,913 --> 01:29:49,251
[Tazz] And the Deadman getting it done
in a strong way.

2151
01:29:49,416 --> 01:29:50,852
[crowd cheering]

2152
01:29:50,919 --> 01:29:52,420
[Tazz] Look at that face.

2153
01:29:57,525 --> 01:30:00,661
[Michael] There has never been
anyone quite like The Undertaker

2154
01:30:00,728 --> 01:30:03,264
in the history of sports entertainment.

2155
01:30:08,103 --> 01:30:09,371
Take another look.

2156
01:30:09,804 --> 01:30:11,539
[Tazz] Well, it looks like here
Luther Reigns going for--

2157
01:30:11,606 --> 01:30:13,942
It's a second point of the match.
That's the problem.

2158
01:30:14,009 --> 01:30:16,478
You go to be careful of The Undertaker
because he'll catch you.

2159
01:30:16,544 --> 01:30:18,679
Get him once, fine.
Get him a second time? Uh-uh.

2160
01:30:18,813 --> 01:30:21,249
Look at this. Tombstone City.

2161
01:30:21,782 --> 01:30:24,518
No one, and I repeat, no one

2162
01:30:24,686 --> 01:30:27,022
-is gonna be able to kick-out of that.
-[crowd] One, two, three.

2163
01:30:27,088 --> 01:30:29,557
[Tazz] No man,
unless you've got an "S" on your chest.

2164
01:30:29,657 --> 01:30:31,992
-["Rest In Peace" continues]
-[crowd cheering]

2165
01:30:32,059 --> 01:30:36,331
[Michael] Just an unbelievable presence
when The Undertaker is in his yard.

2166
01:30:36,398 --> 01:30:38,166
[Tazz] Well, it was
a very, very physical battle.

2167
01:30:38,233 --> 01:30:41,036
Very, very physical confrontation.

2168
01:30:41,769 --> 01:30:43,103
That's what it's about.

2169
01:30:43,505 --> 01:30:45,974
This is not ballet.
Get it done the hard way.

2170
01:30:46,441 --> 01:30:48,376
[Michael]
I think the true ownership of the yard

2171
01:30:48,442 --> 01:30:50,911
has been determined here tonight.

2172
01:31:06,995 --> 01:31:09,998
[crowd cheering]

2173
01:31:33,688 --> 01:31:34,822
[music fades]

2174
01:31:34,923 --> 01:31:36,691
[Michael] Well, there's General Manager
Theodore Long,

2175
01:31:36,758 --> 01:31:40,195
still awaiting the arrival
of his special guest tonight,

2176
01:31:40,260 --> 01:31:41,963
Raw's Batista.

2177
01:31:42,797 --> 01:31:45,367
Batista due here tonight at No Way Out.

["Need A Little Time" playing]

2179
01:31:52,941 --> 01:31:54,409
[Chimel] All right. Ladies and gentlemen,

2180
01:31:54,476 --> 01:31:56,143
here to host the final round

2181
01:31:56,210 --> 01:31:59,880
of the SmackDown
Rookie Diva of the Year contest,

2182
01:31:59,947 --> 01:32:01,516
Torrie Wilson.

2183
01:32:01,583 --> 01:32:05,120
[Michael] Well, Dawn Marie has refused
to finish hosting this competition

2184
01:32:05,186 --> 01:32:07,088
after what happened earlier tonight

2185
01:32:07,155 --> 01:32:10,592
when Michelle McCool
had her little talent situation.

2186
01:32:12,494 --> 01:32:16,063
My special talent
is gonna be a bit more physical

2187
01:32:16,464 --> 01:32:20,668
because frankly, me,
and probably all these Pittsburgh fans

2188
01:32:20,735 --> 01:32:23,972
are tired of somebody running their mouth.

2189
01:32:24,572 --> 01:32:26,508
-[Michael] Well, I sort of thought that--
-Are you kidding me?

2190
01:32:26,574 --> 01:32:30,512
What are you gonna do to impress me?

2191
01:32:30,577 --> 01:32:32,280
-What do you have-- Torrie!
-[Michael] I sort of thought

2192
01:32:32,347 --> 01:32:34,849
Dawn Marie did deserve this though.

2193
01:32:34,916 --> 01:32:37,986
[Tazz] Well, I don't know, I mean,
Dawn was a little bitter, I guess.

2194
01:32:38,053 --> 01:32:39,987
But still, it wasn't nice.

2195
01:32:40,054 --> 01:32:42,223
I mean, she was--
she was disrespected out here.

2196

2197
01:32:43,625 --> 01:32:44,826

01:32:54,035 --> 01:32:56,737
First, Joy Giovanni.

2203
01:32:56,804 --> 01:32:58,807
[Tazz] Look at that.
It's the Roethlisberger.

2204
01:32:59,174 --> 01:33:01,375
Wait a minute. She's from--

2205
01:33:01,442 --> 01:33:03,911
[Michael] She's from Boston,
Massachusetts.

2206
01:33:04,144 --> 01:33:05,313
-[Tazz] All right.
-[Michael] But nonetheless,

[Michael] This is the best part
of the competition.

2210
01:33:10,418 --> 01:33:12,687
-[Tazz] I know.
-[Michael] The bathing suit competition.

2211
01:33:12,754 --> 01:33:15,090
[Tazz] Man, duh. I know that.
They got robes on. I could see.

2212
01:33:15,156 --> 01:33:16,291
This is the best part.

2213

-She's a Canuck, you know.
-[Chimel] Our third contestant,

2214

Lauren Jones.

2215
01:33:22,230 --> 01:33:23,298
[Michael] She's a Canadian.

2216
01:33:23,364 --> 01:33:25,300
[Tazz] No. She's from Mississippi,
Lauren. I knew that.

Michelle McCool.

all these ladies are gorgeous.

01:33:38,346 --> 01:33:39,746
I mean, you know, obviously, right?

2221
01:33:39,813 --> 01:33:42,717
[Michael] Beautiful, I mean-- They looked
stunning in their evening gowns.

2222
01:33:42,784 --> 01:33:45,120
-They showed some talent.
-[Tazz] Yes, yes, absolutely.

stunning out here

2396
01:43:25,433 --> 01:43:26,433
in his hometown,

2397
01:43:26,500 --> 01:43:29,570
but I guess his hometown thinks he sucks.

2398
01:43:29,969 --> 01:43:32,807
But believe me, folks, he does not suck.

2399
01:43:32,873 --> 01:43:35,276
[Michael] Kurt Angle is thinking
about one thing,

2400
01:43:35,643 --> 01:43:39,647
headlining WrestleMania
for a third straight year.

2401
01:43:40,081 --> 01:43:42,750
John Cena thinking of one thing,

2402
01:43:42,817 --> 01:43:46,721
being in the main event at WrestleMania
for the very first time.

2403
01:43:47,755 --> 01:43:51,157
Kurt Angle, a four-time WWE Champion,

2404
01:43:51,224 --> 01:43:53,094
a former Olympic gold medalist.

2405
01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:56,330
He has won all available titles
in the WWE.

2406
01:43:56,664 --> 01:43:59,099
John Cena, the United States Champion,

2407
01:43:59,166 --> 01:44:03,337
won his first United States Championship
at WrestleMania XX.

2408
01:44:03,404 --> 01:44:05,072
-[bell ringing]
-[Michael] Tonight, the winner

2409
01:44:05,239 --> 01:44:07,708
of this match advances to Hollywood,

2410
01:44:07,775 --> 01:44:12,379
WrestleMania 21
for a shot at the WWE title.

2411
01:44:12,446 --> 01:44:15,282
[Tazz] And the questions is,
is John Cena ready?

2412
01:44:15,382 --> 01:44:19,018
-Is he ready to defeat a machine…
-Break the hold! One, two, three!

2413
01:44:19,085 --> 01:44:20,420
[Tazz] …like Kurt Angle?

2414
01:44:20,855 --> 01:44:22,123
[Michael] Let's talk strategy.

2415
01:44:22,188 --> 01:44:25,358
If you're the challenger, John Cena,
he's focused, he's intense,

2416
01:44:25,425 --> 01:44:28,329
what does he need to do
to get Kurt Angle out of his game?

2417
01:44:28,394 --> 01:44:30,364
[Tazz] Stay off the mat.

2418
01:44:30,431 --> 01:44:33,901
Don't play the mat game with Kurt Angle.

2419
01:44:33,968 --> 01:44:36,402
He will just rip you up.

2420
01:44:37,036 --> 01:44:38,973
I'm telling you from experience.

2421
01:44:39,039 --> 01:44:41,375
[Michael] And if you're Kurt Angle,
you wanna wear John Cena down.

2422
01:44:41,442 --> 01:44:44,745
Side headlock, Kurt Angle begins to work
on the mat early going in the match.

2423
01:44:44,812 --> 01:44:46,080
[Tazz] Well, if you're Kurt Angle,

2424
01:44:46,514 --> 01:44:49,316
you wanna bring what brought you--
you wanna dance with the girl

2425
01:44:49,383 --> 01:44:51,085
that brought you--
that you brought to the dance

2426
01:44:51,317 --> 01:44:54,487
and you wanna do what got you
that gold medal, and that's wrestle.

2427
01:44:54,554 --> 01:44:57,324
[Michael] Kurt Angle bounced
off the ropes. Big shoulder knockdown.

2428
01:44:57,758 --> 01:45:00,260
Kurt Angle measuring his man,
once again to the side headlock.

2429
01:45:00,393 --> 01:45:02,897
Now, for Kurt Angle,
it is a lot about mat wrestling.

2430
01:45:02,963 --> 01:45:05,633
But, as we saw at the Royal Rumble,

2431
01:45:05,699 --> 01:45:09,003
with that vicious assault
on Shawn Michaels, there is a vicious,

2432
01:45:09,068 --> 01:45:11,806
violent side of the Olympic Gold Medalist.

2433
01:45:11,871 --> 01:45:14,575
[Tazz] Well, absolutely there is,
and it's called a hunger to win.

2434
01:45:14,642 --> 01:45:16,477
It's called the-- you know,
a violent streak.

2435
01:45:16,544 --> 01:45:19,179
You know, I mean-- I mean,
you don't become a WWE Champion,

2436
01:45:19,246 --> 01:45:20,880
you don't become an Olympic gold medalist,

2437
01:45:20,947 --> 01:45:24,785
first time ever in WWE history
by being a nice guy, Cole.

2438
01:45:24,852 --> 01:45:29,490
Nice guys don't do well a lot of times
and win championships in this industry.

2439
01:45:29,557 --> 01:45:30,991
[Michael]
Kurt Angle whipped off the ropes.

2440
01:45:31,192 --> 01:45:32,726
Big shoulder knockdown again.

2441
01:45:32,793 --> 01:45:35,563
And Angle taking it to Cena
in the early going of the matchup.

2442
01:45:35,629 --> 01:45:38,032
Up over the top.
John Cena went for the hip toss.

2443
01:45:38,098 --> 01:45:39,633
And a great belly-to-belly counter.

2444
01:45:39,700 --> 01:45:41,969
-Back again hooking on the arm.
-[Tazz] Well, and he hooked--

2445
01:45:42,036 --> 01:45:44,170
he's hooking the head
and the arm and keeping--

2446
01:45:44,237 --> 01:45:46,874
he's keeping-- Now he's got an arm trapped
with the head.

2447
01:45:46,941 --> 01:45:49,009
-That can be a version of a choke.
-One.

2448
01:45:49,076 --> 01:45:50,577
[Tazz] But you wanna do
what Angle was trying to do,

2449
01:45:50,643 --> 01:45:52,780
but John was smart enough
to get his arm out of there.

2450
01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:56,116
Angle's gonna put his ear
behind Cena's tricep

2451
01:45:56,183 --> 01:45:57,317
and choke him out with his own arm.

2452
01:45:57,384 --> 01:45:59,152
I'm telling you,
it's a dangerous jiu-jitsu hold

2453
01:45:59,219 --> 01:46:01,789
or a freestyle wrestling hold
with Kurt Angle as a gold medalist.

2454
01:46:01,856 --> 01:46:05,759
[Michael] John Cena's first matchup
ever in the WWE on SmackDown.

2455
01:46:05,860 --> 01:46:07,695
He took Kurt Angle to the limit.

2456
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:10,664
Even got a pat on the back
by The Undertaker for his effort.

2457
01:46:10,731 --> 01:46:13,067
But this is a whole different ball game
here tonight.

2458
01:46:13,534 --> 01:46:15,335
-This is for a spot in WrestleMania.
-[Tazz] Right.

2459
01:46:15,402 --> 01:46:17,204
That's right, that was a long time ago.

2460
01:46:17,338 --> 01:46:19,240
[crowd chanting] Angle sucks! Angle sucks!

2461
01:46:19,306 --> 01:46:20,773
[Michael] This is Kurt Angle's hometown,

2462
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:24,411
but still the "Angle sucks" chants
throughout the Mellon Arena.

2463
01:46:24,478 --> 01:46:25,612
[Tazz] Well, that's okay.

2464
01:46:25,679 --> 01:46:28,115
I mean, in my opinion,
I don't think that's bothering Angle.

2465
01:46:28,215 --> 01:46:29,750
I don't think Angle wants
anyone to like him.

2466
01:46:29,817 --> 01:46:32,620
It-- You know, it shows by his attitude.

2467
01:46:32,686 --> 01:46:35,155
He's very cocky.
He's conceited and pompous. I'll tell you,

2468
01:46:35,289 --> 01:46:37,057
every time you see him,
"I'm an Olympic gold medalist."

2469
01:46:37,124 --> 01:46:39,593
He'll show you the damn medal
if you want. He should be proud.

2470
01:46:39,660 --> 01:46:41,495
And Kurt Angle's very territorial.

2471
01:46:41,562 --> 01:46:44,598
He brought the gold not just
to the United States, but to Pittsburgh,

2472
01:46:44,665 --> 01:46:46,567
and he don't care if these people
are proud of him or not.

2473
01:46:46,634 --> 01:46:48,535
[Michael] John Cena whipped off
the ropes by Kurt Angle.

2474
01:46:48,635 --> 01:46:51,472
Whoa. A big drop toehold by Kurt Angle
into the front facelock.

2475
01:46:51,538 --> 01:46:53,407
-Now, remember one thing--
-[Tazz] How fast was that?

2476
01:46:53,474 --> 01:46:56,043
-You see how quick he sprawled--
-[Michael] Shoulders were down.

2477
01:46:56,110 --> 01:46:57,478
[Tazz] How quick he sprawled
over the headlock?

2478
01:46:57,544 --> 01:47:00,880
Hooked the half and then--
and put flat back Kurt-- Cena on his back.

2479
01:47:00,947 --> 01:47:02,349
[Michael] Let's mention one thing too.

2480
01:47:02,415 --> 01:47:05,219
Kurt Angle's much more rested
than John Cena is.

2481
01:47:05,286 --> 01:47:07,788
Kurt Angle only had one match
to get to the finals of the tournament,

2482
01:47:07,855 --> 01:47:09,556
plus Kurt Angle lives in Pittsburgh.

2483
01:47:09,623 --> 01:47:11,325
He's been staying at home
the past three days,

2484
01:47:11,392 --> 01:47:14,027
home cooking, not living
at a hotel like John Cena.

2485
01:47:14,094 --> 01:47:17,031
Cena had to go through a grueling match
Thursday night against Booker T.

2486
01:47:17,097 --> 01:47:20,634
-Kurt Angle more rested than John Cena is.
-[Tazz] I agree with that.

2487
01:47:20,701 --> 01:47:24,438
And I think that puts the odds against
Cena even more than the hometown thing.

2488
01:47:24,505 --> 01:47:26,907
The hometown thing don't matter.
The people like Cena better.

2489
01:47:26,974 --> 01:47:29,476
[Michael] And John Cena,
that pound and ground attack

2490
01:47:29,543 --> 01:47:32,112
starting to come out a bit
with the shoulders to the gut.

2491
01:47:32,179 --> 01:47:34,481
[Tazz] Well, wanted a clean break
but-- uh-oh, uh-oh. Whoa.

2492
01:47:34,548 --> 01:47:35,816
[Michael] Kurt Angle missed
with the right hand

2493
01:47:35,915 --> 01:47:39,553
and Cena almost knocking the head off
of Angle's shoulders.

2494
01:47:40,254 --> 01:47:42,156
[Tazz] I'll tell you what,
that's street style right there

2495
01:47:42,222 --> 01:47:43,257
by John Cena.

2496
01:47:43,357 --> 01:47:45,459
-And watch out, partner.
-[Michael] Wait a minute.

2497
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:47,428
Kurt Angle, John Cena,

2498
01:47:47,861 --> 01:47:50,764
going right over the announce table.

2499
01:47:50,831 --> 01:47:52,066
John Cena…

2500
01:47:52,132 --> 01:47:54,634
John Cena, get out! Get in the ring.

2501
01:47:54,701 --> 01:47:56,937
-Let's go.
-[fan 1] Come on, Kurt.

2502
01:47:57,304 --> 01:47:59,907
-[Charles] In the ring now.
-[indistinct chatter]

2503
01:47:59,974 --> 01:48:01,909
[fan 2] Kick his ass, Kurt.

2504
01:48:04,277 --> 01:48:05,478
[fan 3] Kick his ass!

2505
01:48:06,647 --> 01:48:07,514
[screams]

2506
01:48:07,614 --> 01:48:11,050
[Michael]
John Cena viciously assaulting Kurt Angle

2507
01:48:11,117 --> 01:48:12,786
here at the announce table.

2508
01:48:13,353 --> 01:48:15,789
It was like a drive-by assault.

2509
01:48:15,990 --> 01:48:20,227
Cena tackling Angle,
driving Angle over the announce table.

2510
01:48:20,294 --> 01:48:24,164
And suddenly Cena is in control,
suplex to Angle.

2511
01:48:24,231 --> 01:48:25,465
Cover. Hook of the leg.

2512
01:48:25,532 --> 01:48:27,735
May have him,
and a kick-out by Kurt Angle.

2513
01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:29,837
-[crowd chanting] Let's go, Cena.
-[Michael] Wow.

2514
01:48:29,902 --> 01:48:31,405
[Tazz] Well, hello.

2515
01:48:31,472 --> 01:48:33,607
This thing just got physical, amen.

2516
01:48:33,674 --> 01:48:35,675
[Michael] Well, I'll tell you,
you mentioned it earlier,

2517
01:48:35,742 --> 01:48:39,780
John Cena had to turn this into
a physical pound and ground matchup

2518
01:48:39,847 --> 01:48:41,949
in order to have a chance
in this thing, Tazz,

2519
01:48:42,016 --> 01:48:43,349
and that's what he's done here.

2520
01:48:43,416 --> 01:48:45,251
[Tazz] He did it. Oh, my God.

2521
01:48:45,318 --> 01:48:49,156
[Michael] Kurt Angle, nobody home,
runs into the boot of John Cena. Oh!

2522
01:48:49,255 --> 01:48:51,258
[Tazz] Kurt Angle was outwrestling Cena.

2523
01:48:51,325 --> 01:48:55,228
Cena so smart taking Angle
out of his element,

2524
01:48:55,295 --> 01:48:57,598
out of his game,
forcing Kurt to fight him.

2525
01:48:57,664 --> 01:48:58,898
-[Michael] Well, certainly--
-[Tazz] F-U.

2526
01:48:58,965 --> 01:49:00,567
[Michael] Wait a minute. Went for the F-U.

2527
01:49:00,634 --> 01:49:02,201
Kurt Angle rolled out of the way.

2528
01:49:03,437 --> 01:49:06,740
Again, John Cena's gotta take it
to the street here

2529
01:49:06,807 --> 01:49:07,974
against Kurt Angle.

2530
01:49:08,041 --> 01:49:09,876
And he's been doing so thus far.

2531
01:49:10,411 --> 01:49:12,880
[Tazz] Well, smart by Kurt Angle

2532
01:49:12,946 --> 01:49:15,816
busting the momentum of John Cena,

2533
01:49:15,883 --> 01:49:17,785
utilizing that ten-count.

2534
01:49:17,851 --> 01:49:18,852
Very smart by Angle.

2535
01:49:19,318 --> 01:49:20,254
Four.

2536
01:49:20,888 --> 01:49:23,456
[Tazz] Gotta use your brain, Cole.
It's not just about using your body

2537
01:49:23,523 --> 01:49:26,759
and brawn and brute strength
and technique.

2538
01:49:26,826 --> 01:49:28,529
The brain is a very important muscle.

2539
01:49:28,594 --> 01:49:30,697
[Michael] And for John Cena,
you've gotta use your brain here.

2540
01:49:30,764 --> 01:49:32,232
-You can't get overconfident.
-Come get some.

2541
01:49:32,299 --> 01:49:33,800
[Michael] You gotta remain in control.

2542
01:49:33,866 --> 01:49:36,437
[Tazz] He did that. He stayed in the ring.
That was smart by Cena.

2543
01:49:36,503 --> 01:49:38,338
[Michael]
So much on the line in the matchup.

2544
01:49:38,405 --> 01:49:40,773
The winner will face the WWE Champion

2545
01:49:41,174 --> 01:49:43,911
and perhaps Batista at WrestleMania 21,

2546
01:49:43,977 --> 01:49:45,512
April 3rd, in Los Angeles,

2547
01:49:45,579 --> 01:49:48,315
as John Cena battles back
with the right hands.

2548
01:49:48,382 --> 01:49:49,950
[Tazz] Well, here we-- here we go.

2549
01:49:50,017 --> 01:49:54,254
I mean, this is big right now
for John Cena and for both Kurt Angle.

2550
01:49:54,321 --> 01:49:57,991
I mean, like you just pointed out,
an opportunity to go to WrestleMania

2551
01:49:58,058 --> 01:49:59,593
and to be the main event.

2552
01:49:59,660 --> 01:50:01,862
I mean that-- but my hope--
I dreamt of that.

2553
01:50:01,929 --> 01:50:03,297
I wish I could've accomplished it.

2554
01:50:04,197 --> 01:50:06,633
[Michael] Kurt Angle's so quick,
kick to the midsection.

2555
01:50:07,233 --> 01:50:10,036
John Cena into the corner,
a bit awkwardly there.

2556
01:50:10,103 --> 01:50:12,039
Kurt Angle grabbed the foot,
missed with the right hand.

2557
01:50:12,106 --> 01:50:13,507
[Tazz] Watch out, watch out,
watch out. Oh.

2558
01:50:13,574 --> 01:50:16,477
[Michael] Oh, my, suplex
right on the top rope and turnbuckle.

2559
01:50:16,576 --> 01:50:18,512
[Tazz] My God.
That's a German suplex,

2560
01:50:19,012 --> 01:50:22,449
back of his neck and spine
right into that top turnbuckle.

2561
01:50:23,349 --> 01:50:24,351
Wow.

2562
01:50:24,418 --> 01:50:27,788
[Michael] Referee Charles Robinson quickly
into position to check on John Cena.

2563
01:50:27,855 --> 01:50:30,924
But Cena's head snapping off
the turnbuckle.

2564
01:50:30,991 --> 01:50:34,128
And here comes the vicious part
of Kurt Angle smelling blood.

2565
01:50:34,327 --> 01:50:38,197
[Tazz] Well, Kurt Angle don't care how
he wins this thing as long as he wins it.

2566
01:50:38,298 --> 01:50:40,299
And that's not good for Cena.

2567
01:50:40,366 --> 01:50:43,971
[Michael] Kurt Angle knocking
John Cena down to his knees yet again.

2568
01:50:44,036 --> 01:50:47,741
And Kurt Angle now in position
to dominate the match.

2569
01:50:47,808 --> 01:50:50,878
And that's where Kurt likes being,
in a position to dominate.

2570
01:50:50,943 --> 01:50:53,780
When he could do that,
there's no beating Kurt Angle.

2571
01:50:53,847 --> 01:50:56,150
[Tazz] Aggression, Cole, over-aggression.

2572
01:50:56,215 --> 01:50:59,452
[Michael] Suplex. Cover. Hooked leg.
Shoulder, kick-out at one.

2573
01:50:59,519 --> 01:51:01,655
[Tazz] And you could see
the tenacity here

2574
01:51:01,722 --> 01:51:04,057
of Kurt Angle. And look--
hook of the arm again.

2575
01:51:04,157 --> 01:51:06,259
[Michael] Again, the shoulder down.
And again, a kick-out.

2576
01:51:06,326 --> 01:51:09,396
[Tazz] I'll tell you,
Kurt Angle is just making John Cena

2577
01:51:09,463 --> 01:51:10,597
exert strength and energy.

2578
01:51:10,664 --> 01:51:13,066
[Michael] Watch this suplex here,
the German to the turnbuckle.

2579
01:51:13,433 --> 01:51:17,271
And did you see Cena's neck
and head snap as he hit that turnbuckle?

2580
01:51:17,337 --> 01:51:19,473
[Tazz] I'm glad we had a replay
because I didn't know where he hit.

2581
01:51:19,540 --> 01:51:21,375
-I didn't know where Cena did hit.
-[Michael] Backbreaker.

2582
01:51:21,508 --> 01:51:23,509
Hooks the leg again.
And John Cena rolls out again.

2583
01:51:23,576 --> 01:51:25,411
[Tazz] I knew it was his back,
I didn't know if it was his neck

2584
01:51:25,478 --> 01:51:27,481
and that's why Angle's working on
the back of the neck

2585
01:51:27,548 --> 01:51:29,482
and the upper spine of Cena.

2586
01:51:29,549 --> 01:51:32,518
[Michael] This crowd trying
to will John Cena on,

2587
01:51:32,585 --> 01:51:35,556
but Kurt Angle now dominating
the United States Champion.

2588
01:51:35,621 --> 01:51:38,058
But this is not about
the United States Championship.

2589
01:51:38,125 --> 01:51:41,394
This is about to have a shot
at the WWE title at WrestleMania.

2590
01:51:41,460 --> 01:51:43,230
[Tazz] Well, sure enough,
that's the main event, baby.

2591
01:51:43,297 --> 01:51:44,598
That's where you wanna be

2592
01:51:44,932 --> 01:51:47,901
at WrestleMania in the match,
the main event.

2593
01:51:47,968 --> 01:51:50,103
Snapmare by Angle.

2594
01:51:50,170 --> 01:51:53,240
Now, that body scissors with the leg
and controlling the head.

2595
01:51:53,340 --> 01:51:54,674
Well, he had the head there, Angle did.

2596
01:51:54,775 --> 01:51:56,677
[Michael] And it's not a main event,
it's the main event.

2597
01:51:56,777 --> 01:51:58,312
-[Tazz] Yes, yes.
-[Michael] And Kurt Angle knows

2598
01:51:58,378 --> 01:52:01,114
what it's like to be in the main event
at WrestleMania.

2599
01:52:02,382 --> 01:52:05,285
Now what does this do here,
Kurt Angle controlling Cena like that?

2600
01:52:05,352 --> 01:52:06,553
[Tazz] It just wears you down.

2601
01:52:06,620 --> 01:52:09,289
You can't breathe
if someone's squeezing your stomach

2602
01:52:09,356 --> 01:52:12,625
with someone as--
legs as strong as Kurt Angle,

2603
01:52:12,692 --> 01:52:14,193
those quads and those calves.

2604
01:52:14,260 --> 01:52:17,731
He's got a body scissors
on the midsection of John Cena,

2605
01:52:17,798 --> 01:52:18,699
making him breathe hard.

2606
01:52:19,199 --> 01:52:21,235
[Michael] John Cena said
Thursday night on SmackDown

2607
01:52:21,300 --> 01:52:24,571
that he is a hungry SOB,
that he wants this more than anything.

2608
01:52:24,638 --> 01:52:26,373
But he's gotta be frustrated here

2609
01:52:26,440 --> 01:52:29,142
that he's being outwrestled
by the master Kurt Angle.

2610
01:52:29,476 --> 01:52:31,111
[Tazz] Nice.
He's going for that choke right there.

2611
01:52:31,178 --> 01:52:33,547
Actually, it looks like maybe
Kurt's gonna start crossfacing him

2612
01:52:33,614 --> 01:52:36,983
and he's just grinding
that forearm into the face of Cena.

2613
01:52:37,084 --> 01:52:41,655
Look at Cena's neck getting torqued back
while Kurt controls the body.

2614
01:52:41,722 --> 01:52:44,691
I'm sure that's the stuff that Kurt Angle
did to people in the wrestling room

2615
01:52:44,758 --> 01:52:46,326
at Clarion University where he--

2616
01:52:46,393 --> 01:52:48,061
where he trained
to become a gold medalist.

2617
01:52:48,128 --> 01:52:49,596
[Michael] And how about
the Olympic Training Center…

2618
01:52:49,696 --> 01:52:51,298
-[Tazz] Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
-[Michael] …in Colorado?

2619
01:52:51,365 --> 01:52:53,200
John Cena's gotta get back to his feet.

2620
01:52:53,267 --> 01:52:56,103
He needs to make it back
to a vertical base here.

2621
01:52:56,169 --> 01:52:57,838
Kurt Angle continues the pressure.

2622
01:52:58,272 --> 01:52:59,940
The sweat rolling off his body.

2623
01:53:00,007 --> 01:53:02,174
That's how much
he's putting into this matchup here.

2624
01:53:02,541 --> 01:53:04,644
[Tazz] Sure it's a nice--
a second body shot.

2625
01:53:04,710 --> 01:53:06,446
A third uppercut to the gut.

2626
01:53:07,281 --> 01:53:09,415
Nice, right to the jaw by Cena.

2627
01:53:10,416 --> 01:53:12,518
[Michael] Now look at this. Oh.
John Cena with a high elbow.

2628
01:53:12,585 --> 01:53:15,022
The elbows and the rights
have been John Cena's best…

2629
01:53:15,088 --> 01:53:16,690
-[Tazz] Whoa.
-[Michael] …allies so far.

2630
01:53:16,757 --> 01:53:19,192
But there's one German suplex.
Hands are wrapped.

2631
01:53:19,425 --> 01:53:20,594
A second German suplex.

2632
01:53:20,661 --> 01:53:23,196
You see Cena grabbing the head
that bounced off the turnbuckle.

2633
01:53:23,263 --> 01:53:24,331
[Tazz] Yes, he sure is.

2634
01:53:24,398 --> 01:53:26,032
[Michael]
And a third German suplex by Angle.

2635
01:53:26,098 --> 01:53:28,235
-Cover. Forearm to the face.
-[Tazz] Angle's got it. He's got it.

2636
01:53:28,335 --> 01:53:30,704
[Michael] He may have it here.
Cena got his foot on the bottom rope.

2637
01:53:30,771 --> 01:53:33,106
[Tazz] He couldn't kick-out,
but he had smart ring sense

2638
01:53:33,173 --> 01:53:36,543
and mat sense, Cena did,
to know where he was in the ring

2639
01:53:36,610 --> 01:53:39,513
and to utilize, as an ally,
that bottom rope.

2640
01:53:39,946 --> 01:53:41,114
And he saved himself.

2641
01:53:41,181 --> 01:53:43,616
He almost wasn't gonna go
to WrestleMania, the main event,

2642
01:53:43,683 --> 01:53:45,419
you know, against the champion.

2643
01:53:45,485 --> 01:53:47,853
[Michael] If it was in the center of ring,
this matchup would've been over with.

2644
01:53:47,954 --> 01:53:50,090
[Tazz] No doubt.
And now Kurt Angle working--

2645
01:53:50,190 --> 01:53:51,825
working on the back of that neck by--

2646
01:53:51,892 --> 01:53:55,562
just with his knee and the small,
you can't see it now, off Cena's back.

2647
01:53:55,661 --> 01:53:57,230
-Look at that.
-[Michael] And those suplexes

2648
01:53:57,297 --> 01:53:59,031
of course working the neck, the shoulders,

2649
01:53:59,098 --> 01:54:02,235
and now the pressure on the neck
and the back again by Kurt Angle.

2650
01:54:02,335 --> 01:54:04,938
[Tazz] I'll tell you what,
John Cena's in trouble I think, Cole.

2651
01:54:05,005 --> 01:54:07,507
I mean, the kid's got a fighting heart,
no doubt.

2652
01:54:07,607 --> 01:54:10,410
But Kurt Angle's got a plan
and he is focused.

2653
01:54:10,477 --> 01:54:12,946
And he looks deadly tonight.
He looks unstoppable.

2654
01:54:13,013 --> 01:54:15,182
[Michael] Well, Kurt Angle
had a plan coming into this matchup,

2655
01:54:15,248 --> 01:54:17,416
there's absolutely no doubt about that.

2656
01:54:17,483 --> 01:54:19,853
John Cena again
with the right hand, battling out.

2657
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:23,123
Can he muster some more offense here?
Cena whipped across the ring.

2658
01:54:24,558 --> 01:54:25,726
John Cena, shoulder knockdown.

2659
01:54:25,791 --> 01:54:28,995
There's the pound and ground
that John Cena likes to use,

2660
01:54:29,062 --> 01:54:30,263
but can he capitalize?

2661
01:54:30,330 --> 01:54:33,866
[Tazz] Well,
Cena exploding from a vertical base,

2662
01:54:34,433 --> 01:54:37,404
chest and shoulder first
right into Kurt Angle, dropping him.

2663
01:54:37,471 --> 01:54:39,505
[Michael] Kurt Angle's had great success
at No Way Out.

2664
01:54:39,572 --> 01:54:42,275
He won the Intercontinental Championship
here last year.

2665
01:54:42,342 --> 01:54:45,846
Kurt Angle defeated John Cena
and the Big Show

2666
01:54:45,911 --> 01:54:48,848
in a Triple Threat match
to become the number one contender.

2667
01:54:48,915 --> 01:54:52,853
So Kurt Angle looking to beat Cena again
this year at No Way Out.

2668
01:54:52,919 --> 01:54:54,654
[Tazz] Well, that remains to be seen.

2669
01:54:54,721 --> 01:54:57,590
Both men almost--
well, Kurt's to a vertical base.

2670
01:54:57,824 --> 01:54:59,793
And now Cena is up blocking Kurt's punch.

2671
01:55:00,559 --> 01:55:04,364
It looks like Cena here,
second one, third, fourth punch.

2672
01:55:04,431 --> 01:55:06,767
[Michael] Well, it looked like
John Cena's actually gotten Kurt Angle

2673
01:55:06,833 --> 01:55:09,669
to come into his game
to try to play his game a little bit.

2674
01:55:09,736 --> 01:55:11,304
Cena exploding with a clothesline.

2675
01:55:11,371 --> 01:55:13,940
[Tazz] Did you see Cena's face
before that first clothesline?

2676
01:55:14,007 --> 01:55:15,308
-This kid…
-[Michael] High elbow.

2677
01:55:15,375 --> 01:55:17,878
[Tazz] He-- I'll tell you what,
it's the fourth quarter for him.

2678
01:55:17,943 --> 01:55:19,746
-He gotta--
-[Michael] Oh. And rake to the eyes,

2679
01:55:19,813 --> 01:55:21,014
that is vintage Kurt Angle.

2680
01:55:21,615 --> 01:55:24,284
[Tazz] What? Killing the man's momentum?
That was smart by Angle.

2681
01:55:24,351 --> 01:55:25,751
Illegal but smart.

2682
01:55:27,187 --> 01:55:28,722
-[Michael] Spinebuster.
-[Tazz] Oh, man.

2683
01:55:28,789 --> 01:55:30,523
-[Michael] Cover. Hooks the leg.
-[Tazz] One, two--

2684
01:55:30,589 --> 01:55:32,358
[Michael] Is Cena going to WrestleMania?
Not now.

2685
01:55:33,759 --> 01:55:34,760
[Tazz] Wow.

2686
01:55:35,562 --> 01:55:38,999
Well, Cena… Cena looked--
in his face, his eyes,

2687
01:55:39,065 --> 01:55:40,733
it looked like it was like,
"Okay. What do I gotta do now?"

2688
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:42,469
"What do I gotta do to beat Angle?"

2689
01:55:42,768 --> 01:55:44,371
[Michael] Every once in a while,
you'll hear people--

2690
01:55:44,471 --> 01:55:45,739
-[Tazz] Look at this.
-[Michael] Look at that,

2691
01:55:45,806 --> 01:55:47,607
the German suplex.
Kurt Angle again with a--

2692
01:55:47,706 --> 01:55:51,277
And you see, John Cena's trying to shake
the cobwebs from that suplex.

2693
01:55:51,344 --> 01:55:52,879
There's a block elbow again.

2694
01:55:53,213 --> 01:55:55,549
You hear every once in a while
a cheer for Kurt Angle.

2695
01:55:55,615 --> 01:55:58,585
We are in Angle's hometown
of Pittsburgh. Tilt-a-whirl.

2696
01:55:58,664 --> 01:56:00,353
-I don't think they're cheering Angle.
-[Michael] Here's the cover.

2697
01:56:00,420 --> 01:56:02,255
-[Tazz] But here we go. One, two--
-[Michael] Hook of the leg,

2698
01:56:02,322 --> 01:56:05,157
shoulders down,
and Angle just got the shoulder up.

2699
01:56:05,392 --> 01:56:07,561
Remember what John Cena said
Thursday night, Tazz,

2700
01:56:07,626 --> 01:56:09,963
that the pressure is on him tonight.

2701
01:56:10,030 --> 01:56:11,932
He's gotta prove that now is his time.

2702
01:56:11,998 --> 01:56:14,099
That it's his time to be in the big dance.

2703
01:56:14,166 --> 01:56:17,304
That's he's among the upper echelon
of superstars here in on SmackDown.

2704
01:56:17,370 --> 01:56:18,905
[Tazz] You don't see John Cena out here,

2705
01:56:18,972 --> 01:56:20,874
you know, hotdogging, doing that thing.

2706
01:56:21,007 --> 01:56:22,776
-F-U time.
-[Michael] Cena's going for the F-U.

2707
01:56:22,843 --> 01:56:24,244
Kurt Angle rolled him through.

2708
01:56:24,311 --> 01:56:25,712
-Angle's gonna catch him--
-[Tazz] Whoa.

2709
01:56:25,846 --> 01:56:27,380
[Michael] And Cena just kicked out.

2710
01:56:28,114 --> 01:56:29,616
-And right into…
-[Tazz] Uh-oh. Watch out.

2711
01:56:29,683 --> 01:56:32,853
[Michael] …the belly-to-belly throw,
vintage Angle.

2712
01:56:33,018 --> 01:56:37,324
[Tazz] Kurt was so quick
to hook his fingers and lock up John Cena

2713
01:56:37,389 --> 01:56:39,092
and pop his hips with that throw.

2714
01:56:39,425 --> 01:56:43,697
And I think John Cena, Kurt Angle,
Cole, they're both super aware

2715
01:56:43,763 --> 01:56:46,266
of what opportunity lies before them

2716
01:56:46,333 --> 01:56:48,668
to go to Mania and be in the main event.

2717
01:56:48,735 --> 01:56:51,071
[Michael] Kurt Angle setting Cena up.
Went for the Angle Slam.

2718
01:56:51,137 --> 01:56:53,406
John Cena to the midsection,
DDTs Kurt Angle.

2719
01:56:53,473 --> 01:56:55,674
This could be the turning point
of this match.

2720
01:56:55,741 --> 01:56:58,378
[Tazz] Well, if Cena could get a cover,
it might be the end of the match.

2721
01:56:58,445 --> 01:57:00,780
[Michael] He does get the cover.
Hooks the leg. Big upset. No.

2722
01:57:00,847 --> 01:57:02,715
Kurt Angle rolled the shoulder out again.

2723
01:57:04,150 --> 01:57:06,519
[Tazz] I don't know if it's--
it would be an upset, Cole.

2724
01:57:06,585 --> 01:57:09,956
Really, this kid, John Cena,
he is the United States Champ,

2725
01:57:10,022 --> 01:57:12,791
-on a big time roll too. Look at his eyes.
-[Michael] It would be an upset

2726
01:57:12,858 --> 01:57:13,960
because of one thing,

2727
01:57:14,027 --> 01:57:17,330
because of the experience
of Kurt Angle being here before.

2728
01:57:17,397 --> 01:57:19,799
For John Cena, this is new ground for him.

2729
01:57:19,933 --> 01:57:22,268
-John Cena, going for the F-U.
-[Tazz] Oh, my God.

2730
01:57:22,335 --> 01:57:24,771
[Michael] Angle rolled through again
and into the ankle lock.

2731
01:57:24,838 --> 01:57:26,373
And into the ankle lock.

2732
01:57:26,438 --> 01:57:27,941
[Tazz] Oh, my God.

2733
01:57:28,674 --> 01:57:30,242
Cena got caught, Cole.

2734
01:57:30,309 --> 01:57:31,978
[Michael] Hometown crowd on its feet.

2735
01:57:32,045 --> 01:57:33,580
-John Cena--
-[Tazz] No.

2736
01:57:33,647 --> 01:57:35,482
[Michael] What a reversal. What a counter.

2737
01:57:36,516 --> 01:57:39,085
[Tazz]
John Cena saved himself right there.

2738
01:57:39,286 --> 01:57:42,054
Kudos to Cena who escaped that ankle lock.

2739
01:57:42,155 --> 01:57:45,791
[Michael] That was the best counter
that John Cena has made in this matchup

2740
01:57:45,858 --> 01:57:48,228
-at the perfect time.
-[Tazz] John Cena went for the F-U.

2741
01:57:48,295 --> 01:57:50,764
Kurt Angle countered with a--
going for a victory roll.

2742
01:57:50,830 --> 01:57:53,465
Rolled the victory roll
into that ankle lock.

2743
01:57:53,532 --> 01:57:55,735
Cena rolled out of it. Very impressive.

2744
01:57:55,802 --> 01:57:59,139
[Michael] And how smart by Cena
to use this time to regain himself.

2745
01:57:59,205 --> 01:58:00,473
Now John Cena--

2746
01:58:00,540 --> 01:58:03,009
And you don't see John Cena
go to the top rope often.

2747
01:58:03,076 --> 01:58:05,579
-[Tazz] He's doing it now.
-[Michael] But John Cena's here.

2748
01:58:05,644 --> 01:58:07,246
-[Tazz] Watch out.
-[Michael] Cena's gonna fly.

2749
01:58:07,313 --> 01:58:09,014
-Oh, my.
-[Tazz] Man.

2750
01:58:09,081 --> 01:58:11,183
[Michael]
A leg drop to the back of the neck.

2751
01:58:11,250 --> 01:58:13,253
And remember Kurt's history
of neck problems.

2752
01:58:13,320 --> 01:58:15,088
Here's the hook of the leg,
shoulders down.

2753
01:58:15,155 --> 01:58:16,623
He almost had him.

2754
01:58:17,557 --> 01:58:21,161
A half second away
from WrestleMania's main event.

2755
01:58:21,227 --> 01:58:22,728
[Tazz] What a match here.

2756
01:58:23,964 --> 01:58:25,130
Oh, man.

2757
01:58:25,197 --> 01:58:26,833
[Michael] Can you believe that leg drop

2758
01:58:26,900 --> 01:58:28,969
and the impact to the back of the neck
of Kurt Angle?

2759
01:58:29,068 --> 01:58:31,404
[Tazz] It's a move
you don't see Cena do often.

2760
01:58:31,471 --> 01:58:33,772
But you gotta leave it all
in the ring right here

2761
01:58:33,839 --> 01:58:36,776
to go to WrestleMania
and be in the main event.

2762
01:58:36,843 --> 01:58:39,212
[Michael] What a boot
to the jaw of John Cena.

2763
01:58:39,279 --> 01:58:40,580
-Look at this.
-[Tazz] He's got him.

2764
01:58:40,679 --> 01:58:42,248
-He's got him.
-[Michael] F-U. He's got him.

2765
01:58:42,315 --> 01:58:43,683
John Cena's got Angle.

2766
01:58:43,750 --> 01:58:45,719
-John Cena's going to WrestleMania.
-[Tazz] Cena's gonna do it.

2767
01:58:45,785 --> 01:58:47,420
[Michael] Here's the cover,
hook of the leg…

2768
01:58:47,487 --> 01:58:50,322
-[Tazz] He did it, Cole.
-[Michael] …and Kurt Angle kicked out.

2769
01:58:51,391 --> 01:58:53,692
[Tazz] How the hell
did Angle kick-out of that?

2770
01:58:53,759 --> 01:58:56,630
[Michael]
Kurt Angle kicked out of the F-U.

2771
01:58:56,696 --> 01:58:58,999
And I don't think John Cena realizes

2772
01:58:59,098 --> 01:59:00,799
-that Angle kicked out.
-It was two.

2773
01:59:00,900 --> 01:59:03,702
[Tazz] Referee Charles Robinson's
telling Cena now.

2774
01:59:04,237 --> 01:59:07,007
Smart by Cena
not to draw chaff with the ref.

2775
01:59:07,072 --> 01:59:08,607
But, oh, watch-- oh, the knee.

2776
01:59:08,674 --> 01:59:10,143
[Michael] Right to the kneecap.

2777
01:59:10,242 --> 01:59:13,346
Angle bringing Cena to his--
to the mat below

2778
01:59:13,413 --> 01:59:15,080
with a shot to the kneecap.

2779
01:59:15,648 --> 01:59:17,784
And now Angle working on the ankle.

2780
01:59:17,851 --> 01:59:20,219
[Tazz] Look at that.
Second elbow drop on that knee,

2781
01:59:20,286 --> 01:59:22,522
I don't know if it's-- I don't--

2782
01:59:22,589 --> 01:59:24,124
He smells the blood now, Angle.

2783
01:59:24,190 --> 01:59:26,558
He's gonna go to that like a shark
smells blood in water.

2784
01:59:26,692 --> 01:59:27,927
[Michael] He's trying to weaken the ankle,

2785
01:59:27,994 --> 01:59:30,030
weaken that leg
for the ankle lock submission hold.

2786
01:59:30,096 --> 01:59:33,333
Kurt Angle realizes he was
almost defeated by the F-U

2787
01:59:33,400 --> 01:59:35,235
and he's gotta put Cena away here.

2788
01:59:35,300 --> 01:59:36,702
-Chop block, low.
-[Tazz] Yeah.

2789
01:59:36,769 --> 01:59:38,038
Clip that leg hard.

2790
01:59:38,103 --> 01:59:40,540
And look at that-- oh, my God.
How graphic is that?

2791
01:59:40,607 --> 01:59:42,741
[Michael] And not only do you weaken
the leg for the ankle lock,

2792
01:59:42,808 --> 01:59:44,678
but if you can't stand,
you can't deliver the F-U.

2793
01:59:44,744 --> 01:59:46,212
[Tazz] Watch out. Well, that's true.

2794
01:59:46,279 --> 01:59:48,514
You have no base. What's Angle doing now?

2795
01:59:49,081 --> 01:59:50,616
[Michael] I'll tell you what he's doing.

2796
01:59:50,717 --> 01:59:53,353
He's gonna use the steel post
as a weapon.

2797
01:59:54,621 --> 01:59:56,188
[Tazz] Cena is hurting, man.

2798
01:59:56,255 --> 01:59:58,191
And rightfully so. Look at this.

2799
01:59:58,290 --> 02:00:01,326
[Michael]
Debilitating assault to the ankle.

2800
02:00:01,494 --> 02:00:02,829
And another one.

2801
02:00:03,463 --> 02:00:06,766
[Tazz] The mean streak of Kurt Angle
is being shown…

2802
02:00:08,233 --> 02:00:09,702
right now, Cole.

2803
02:00:09,803 --> 02:00:13,239
[Michael] This is how bad Kurt Angle
wants to main event WrestleMania

2804
02:00:13,306 --> 02:00:14,741
for a third straight year.

2805
02:00:14,808 --> 02:00:16,009
And now Kurt Angle--

2806
02:00:16,076 --> 02:00:18,311
[Tazz] He's butterflying--
he's leg-lacing--

2807
02:00:18,378 --> 02:00:20,380
-[Michael] And listen to Cena.
-[screams]

2808
02:00:21,214 --> 02:00:23,383
[Michael] John Cena got
to the bottom rope.

2809
02:00:23,450 --> 02:00:24,718
Cena had to get to the rope

2810
02:00:24,784 --> 02:00:26,452
-or he's through.
-One, two…

2811
02:00:26,553 --> 02:00:28,353
[Tazz] Kurt's not letting go of that leg.
You can't see.

2812
02:00:28,420 --> 02:00:32,424
He got a leg lace on there that will twist
both of your ankles and your knee.

2813
02:00:32,491 --> 02:00:34,294
Very excruciating submission hold.

2814
02:00:34,360 --> 02:00:36,029
[Michael] Kurt Angle has to break on four.

2815
02:00:36,096 --> 02:00:37,931
If we get to a count of five,
he'll disqualify him

2816
02:00:37,996 --> 02:00:39,499
and Cena's going to WrestleMania.

2817
02:00:39,566 --> 02:00:41,768
[Tazz] Look at how he's stomping--
it's nasty, man.

2818
02:00:41,901 --> 02:00:43,303
He's stomping on the ankle.

2819
02:00:44,504 --> 02:00:46,839
[Michael] John Cena trying
to make it to his feet.

2820
02:00:47,206 --> 02:00:49,041
He's just dragging that ankle.

2821
02:00:49,108 --> 02:00:54,114
And Kurt Angle now methodically stalking
and picking apart John Cena.

2822
02:00:54,179 --> 02:00:57,349
-[Tazz] Going for the Angle Slam here.
-[Michael] And the Angle Slam connects.

2823
02:00:57,416 --> 02:00:59,885
It was a valiant effort by John Cena.

2824
02:01:00,253 --> 02:01:01,888
But Cena can't stand.

2825
02:01:01,955 --> 02:01:03,990
-[screams]
-[Michael] The Angle Slam has been hit.

2826
02:01:04,057 --> 02:01:05,959
And now Kurt Angle is in his zone.

2827
02:01:06,025 --> 02:01:10,563
[Tazz] He's in his zone in his hometown
and he's feeling victory to go to Mania.

2828
02:01:10,630 --> 02:01:13,366
-He's got the ankle lock, Cole.
-[Michael] And there's the ankle lock.

2829
02:01:13,465 --> 02:01:15,735
John Cena's in the middle of the ring.

2830
02:01:15,869 --> 02:01:17,871
John Cena with nowhere to go.

2831
02:01:17,937 --> 02:01:21,174
This is pure torture by Kurt Angle.

2832
02:01:21,241 --> 02:01:24,277
[Tazz] This kid's fighting hard
to get to that bottom rope, Cole.

2833
02:01:24,344 --> 02:01:26,579
-Cena's trying his best.
-[Michael] John Cena got there.

2834
02:01:26,646 --> 02:01:29,749
But Angle ripped him off the rope
back to the center of the ring again.

2835
02:01:29,816 --> 02:01:31,317
[screams]

2836
02:01:31,384 --> 02:01:32,518
[Michael] Listen to Cena.

2837
02:01:34,920 --> 02:01:36,188
Excruciating pain.

2838
02:01:36,356 --> 02:01:39,893
[Tazz] How much pressure--
Angle's gonna rip his ankle off the bone.

2839
02:01:39,959 --> 02:01:41,527
He'll destroy this kid's ankle.

2840
02:01:41,594 --> 02:01:42,996
He'll destroy Cena's ankle.

2841
02:01:43,062 --> 02:01:45,330
[Michael]
Kurt Angle may break the ankle here.

2842
02:01:45,397 --> 02:01:47,666
But this is about the main event
at WrestleMania.

2843
02:01:47,733 --> 02:01:49,501
John Cena trying to crawl

2844
02:01:49,568 --> 02:01:51,237
to the bottom rope, but he can't.

2845
02:01:51,304 --> 02:01:52,938
And now Angle's really got it locked in.

2846
02:01:53,005 --> 02:01:55,241
And John Cena has nowhere to go.

2847
02:01:56,543 --> 02:01:58,277
[Tazz] The ankle lock is grotesque.

2848
02:01:58,344 --> 02:02:00,580
John Cena's ankle being torqued.

2849
02:02:00,647 --> 02:02:01,748
[Michael] And look at Cena.

2850
02:02:01,815 --> 02:02:05,652
Every ounce of pride,
every ounce of strength in his body.

2851
02:02:05,718 --> 02:02:07,587
-He makes the bottom rope.
-[Tazz] Wow.

2852
02:02:07,687 --> 02:02:09,455
[Michael] And he's gotta break the hold.

2853
02:02:09,522 --> 02:02:11,424
[Tazz] How bad does Cena want it?

2854
02:02:11,491 --> 02:02:14,893
John Cena got the bottom rope
with two hands this time.

2855
02:02:14,960 --> 02:02:19,299
And Kurt Angle utilizing
the five-count to break the hold.

2856
02:02:19,365 --> 02:02:21,366
Like it or not, it's smart.

2857
02:02:21,433 --> 02:02:23,001
Wow. How much pain is this Cena in?

2858
02:02:23,068 --> 02:02:25,038
[Michael] How much damage
has been done to the ankle?

2859
02:02:25,103 --> 02:02:27,941
As Kurt Angle, again,
goes back to the ankle lock.

2860
02:02:28,007 --> 02:02:29,107
Cena's in the ropes.

2861
02:02:29,174 --> 02:02:31,244
Angle's gotta break the damn hold.

2862
02:02:31,311 --> 02:02:33,346
[Tazz] This Angle don't give a damn, Cole.

2863
02:02:33,413 --> 02:02:35,815
[Michael] He better give a damn.
Oh, wait a minute.

2864
02:02:36,215 --> 02:02:38,518
The referee knocked down.

2865
02:02:39,518 --> 02:02:40,820
[Tazz] And now what?

2866
02:02:41,120 --> 02:02:43,056
-[Michael] Was that inadvertent?
-[Tazz] I don't know.

2867
02:02:43,121 --> 02:02:45,424
I'm thinking about Cena, the pain he's in.

2868
02:02:46,092 --> 02:02:47,626
And how much Kurt--

2869
02:02:47,693 --> 02:02:49,795
-[crowd chanting indistinctly]
-[Tazz] Oh.

2870
02:02:50,295 --> 02:02:51,496
[Michael] What is he doing?

2871
02:02:54,867 --> 02:02:55,969
[Tazz] I don't know.

2872
02:02:56,568 --> 02:02:57,670
[Michael] Oh, my.

2873
02:02:57,737 --> 02:03:00,440
That is-- that's John Cena's chain.

2874
02:03:00,505 --> 02:03:03,276
-[Tazz] You know, I know that.
-[Michael] That's Cena's pride and joy.

2875
02:03:03,343 --> 02:03:04,978
[Tazz] And the referee is down.

2876
02:03:06,545 --> 02:03:09,147
I think John--
Kurt Angle has got bad intentions.

2877
02:03:09,415 --> 02:03:12,184
[Michael] Wait a minute.
Cena driving Angle into the ropes.

2878
02:03:12,251 --> 02:03:14,920
John Cena's got him.
John Cena has got him over the shoulder.

2879
02:03:14,987 --> 02:03:16,990
-[Tazz] Look at this.
-[Michael] F-U. F-U by Cena.

2880
02:03:17,056 --> 02:03:19,959
-How the hell did he do it?
-[Tazz] He's got a cover. There's a cover!

2881
02:03:20,026 --> 02:03:21,527
-Come on, ref.
-[Michale] One.

2882
02:03:21,594 --> 02:03:23,463
There's one. Come on, ref.

2883
02:03:23,529 --> 02:03:25,831
-[Tazz] He's got it.
-[Michael] John Cena is going

2884
02:03:25,964 --> 02:03:27,333
-to WrestleMania.
-[bell ringing]

2885
02:03:27,400 --> 02:03:29,335
-[Tazz] Whoa.
-["Basic Thuganomics" playing]

2886
02:03:29,501 --> 02:03:34,440
[Chimel] Here is your winner, John Cena.

2887
02:03:34,507 --> 02:03:36,174
[Michael] I cannot believe it.

2888
02:03:36,241 --> 02:03:38,411
John Cena has defeated

2889
02:03:38,478 --> 02:03:41,380
the greatest pure wrestler in the history

2890
02:03:41,447 --> 02:03:43,249
of World Wrestling Entertainment.

2891
02:03:43,415 --> 02:03:47,152
John Cena is gonna battle
for the WWE title

2892
02:03:47,253 --> 02:03:49,022
in the main event at WrestleMania.

2893
02:03:49,088 --> 02:03:50,589
[Tazz] You look at the dictionary,

2894
02:03:50,656 --> 02:03:52,991
under the intestinal fortitude,
ladies and gentlemen,

2895
02:03:53,125 --> 02:03:55,094
you will see that man's face.

2896
02:03:55,161 --> 02:03:59,132
John Cena showing
what kinda stuff he's made of.

2897
02:03:59,197 --> 02:04:01,200
What a match by both men.

2898
02:04:01,267 --> 02:04:03,135
What a physical confrontation.

2899
02:04:03,201 --> 02:04:05,138
-Great match.
-[Michael] Was it heart?

2900
02:04:05,405 --> 02:04:08,308
Was it adrenaline? Was it resilience?

2901
02:04:08,374 --> 02:04:10,009
Was it never say die?

2902
02:04:10,076 --> 02:04:11,777
-Was it a will to win?
-[Tazz] Uh-oh.

2903
02:04:11,844 --> 02:04:13,813
[Michael] Kurt Angle is terribly upset.

2904
02:04:13,880 --> 02:04:17,349
But the bottom line is John Cena,
on a bad ankle,

2905
02:04:18,151 --> 02:04:21,788
got the F-U
and he's going to WrestleMania.

2906
02:04:21,853 --> 02:04:23,923
[Tazz]
John Cena refused to be denied, Cole.

2907
02:04:23,990 --> 02:04:26,358
The Doctor of Thuganomics came in here,

2908
02:04:26,425 --> 02:04:29,228
was focused on becoming the guy

2909
02:04:29,295 --> 02:04:32,264
that was going to WrestleMania
to face in the main event.

2910
02:04:32,331 --> 02:04:33,532
He did that.

2911
02:04:34,032 --> 02:04:35,101
Look at this.

2912
02:04:35,168 --> 02:04:38,972
[Michael] Kurt Angle trying to use
the chain and it bit him in the back side.

2913
02:04:39,038 --> 02:04:41,607
-John Cena with the F-U.
-[Tazz] And the ankle.

2914
02:04:41,674 --> 02:04:42,674
How much weight--

2915
02:04:42,741 --> 02:04:46,144
how much could he put weight
into the-- all of Cena--

2916
02:04:46,212 --> 02:04:48,313
All that weight on that ankle,
but Cena did it.

2917
02:04:48,380 --> 02:04:50,950
-Oh, my God.
-[Michael] Kurt Angle left his game plan

2918
02:04:51,017 --> 02:04:54,487
for one second and John Cena capitalized.

2919
02:04:54,554 --> 02:04:57,223
And the bottom line is April 3rd

2920
02:04:57,290 --> 02:05:01,193
in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California,
the Staples Center,

2921
02:05:01,594 --> 02:05:06,398
John Cena will be battling
for the WWE Championship

2922
02:05:06,465 --> 02:05:09,235
in the biggest match of his life.

2923
02:05:09,302 --> 02:05:10,570
[Tazz] No doubt about it.

2924
02:05:10,635 --> 02:05:13,039
John Cena earned it the hard way.

2925
02:05:13,106 --> 02:05:15,375
He busted his rear end in there.

2926
02:05:15,441 --> 02:05:17,643
What a matchup, Cole. What a match.

2927
02:05:17,710 --> 02:05:20,545
[Michael] What else can you say
about John Cena?

2928
02:05:20,612 --> 02:05:22,848

[music fades]

2934
02:05:43,835 --> 02:05:47,205
Well, we have one piece of the SmackDown
main event at WrestleMania set.

2935
02:05:47,272 --> 02:05:50,175
We know John Cena's gonna battle
for the WWE Championship.

2936
02:05:50,242 --> 02:05:53,478
Later on tonight, just coming up
in a few moments, JBL and Big Show.

2937
02:05:53,545 --> 02:05:55,514
Who will defend the title at WrestleMania?

2938
02:05:55,580 --> 02:05:58,351
The big question is
where's Batista gonna be?

2939
02:05:58,418 --> 02:05:59,552
Is he gonna join SmackDown

2940
02:05:59,619 --> 02:06:01,721
-or Raw Monday night?
-[Tazz] I don't know.

2941
02:06:01,788 --> 02:06:04,523
[Michael] We've been awaiting the arrival
of Batista all night long

2942
02:06:04,589 --> 02:06:06,726
-and--
-[Tazz] You know, Cole, I gotta wonder.

2943
02:06:06,793 --> 02:06:07,826
I mean, it's getting late.

2944
02:06:07,893 --> 02:06:11,230
I mean, is Batista--
is he gonna show up tonight?

2945
02:06:11,297 --> 02:06:13,465
-I mean, what's up?
-[Michael] He said he was.

2946
02:06:13,532 --> 02:06:16,869
He accepted General Manager
Theodore Long's invitation,

2947
02:06:16,936 --> 02:06:18,838
but he's not here yet.

2948
02:06:18,905 --> 02:06:20,306
Nonetheless, coming up next--

2949
02:06:20,373 --> 02:06:22,541
[Tazz] Well, I'm starting to think
that Batista's not gonna get here.

2950
02:06:22,607 --> 02:06:23,608
[Michael] Great Point.

2951
02:06:23,675 --> 02:06:27,813
For the first time ever,
a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match.

2952
02:06:27,880 --> 02:06:31,550
Big Show versus JBL for the WWE title

2953
02:06:31,616 --> 02:06:36,621
in a cage surrounded
by razor-sharp barbed wire.

2954
02:06:36,688 --> 02:06:39,224
[Tazz] And that door on that cage
will be locked

2955
02:06:39,325 --> 02:06:42,462
by a big steel lock and chain throughout
this whole match,

2956
02:06:42,527 --> 02:06:45,697
so you can't escape through the door.
You gotta go over the top.

2957
02:06:45,764 --> 02:06:49,367
[Michael] Coming up next,
the WWE Championship is on the line.

2958
02:06:49,434 --> 02:06:53,505
One of these two men
will defend the title at WrestleMania.

2959
02:06:53,572 --> 02:06:55,875
[Tazz] And when I said
you gotta try to escape over the top,

2960
02:06:55,942 --> 02:06:56,942
pinfall or submission.

2961
02:06:57,009 --> 02:07:00,513
But if you go over the top, you gotta deal
with the razor-sharp barbed wire, Cole.

2962
02:07:00,580 --> 02:07:04,817
[Michael] This all began last month
at the Royal Rumble.

2963
02:07:07,053 --> 02:07:08,387
[dramatic music playing]

2964
02:07:08,454 --> 02:07:13,358
[announcer] The following contest is
a Triple Threat No Disqualification match

2965
02:07:13,425 --> 02:07:16,295
for the WWE Championship.

is the odds-on favorite.

2969

Kurt Angle with a steel chair…

-[Jerry] Oh, my God.
-[Michael] …in midair.

Kurt Angle's skull off that steel chair.

and Marc Jindrak pulling
the referee out of the ring.

2974
02:07:36,949 --> 02:07:39,184
And look at Luther Reigns,
Angle's other protege.

-Orlando Jordan's got the champion.
-[Tazz] Here comes Orlando.

[Michael] What is
the Chief of Staff doing?

2977
02:07:43,054 --> 02:07:44,589
[Tazz] He's throwing JBL back in the ring

2978
02:07:44,790 --> 02:07:47,026
[Michael]
JBL with the Clothesline from Hell.

2979
02:07:47,160 --> 02:07:49,695
-JBL's gonna steal the damn match.
-[Tazz] One, two, three.

-Holy--
-[bell ringing]

2981
02:07:51,164 --> 02:07:54,599
[Michael] He did it again.
He stole another damn title match.

2982
02:07:54,666 --> 02:07:57,103
And the Big Show's expression says it all.

2983
02:07:57,170 --> 02:07:58,938
"You have gotta be kidding me."

2984
02:07:59,004 --> 02:08:01,741
JBL survived again.

-[laughter]
-[indistinct chatter]

2986
02:08:08,181 --> 02:08:11,384
Let's talk about SmackDown's
next pay-per-view.

2987
02:08:11,450 --> 02:08:14,820
At No Way Out, you will face the man

2988
02:08:14,887 --> 02:08:18,691
that you did not pin tonight,
the Big Show.

2989
02:08:18,758 --> 02:08:23,563
There will be no outside interference
at No Way Out,

2990
02:08:23,629 --> 02:08:26,031
because for the first time

2991
02:08:26,132 --> 02:08:29,434
in the history of the WWE,

2992
02:08:29,568 --> 02:08:31,437
this match will be

2993
02:08:31,737 --> 02:08:36,675
a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match.

2994
02:08:38,611 --> 02:08:39,911
[tense music playing]

2995
02:08:40,079 --> 02:08:42,714
First, you ask me
about a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match

2996
02:08:42,781 --> 02:08:44,916
and then you ask me about Dave Batista?

2997
02:08:45,985 --> 02:08:48,754
Yes, Dave Batista won the Royal Rumble.

2998
02:08:49,188 --> 02:08:51,624
And, yes, Dave Batista is an animal.

2999
02:08:51,824 --> 02:08:54,160
And, yes, he's gonna be
a great champion one day.

3000
02:08:54,227 --> 02:08:57,862
But in case you haven't noticed,
what I have been through in the past year,

3001
02:08:57,929 --> 02:09:01,467
I smell like smoke, son,
because I have been through fire.

3002
02:09:01,534 --> 02:09:02,867
He's built like Tarzan.

3003
02:09:02,934 --> 02:09:04,971
I will make him look like Jane.

3004
02:09:05,036 --> 02:09:07,673
And Dave Batista, as good as he is,

3005
02:09:07,740 --> 02:09:11,844
is not in my league.

3006
02:09:11,911 --> 02:09:13,478
-[dramatic music playing]
-JBL, come on.

3007

3009
02:09:21,019 --> 02:09:23,422
Looks like I'm going
to SmackDown this Thursday.

3010
02:09:25,258 --> 02:09:30,329
I did not run down Batista.

02:09:44,643 --> 02:09:45,644
[Michael] Oh, no.

Here comes The World's Largest Athlete

3014
02:09:48,781 --> 02:09:51,217
and JBL is all alone.

3015
02:09:51,384 --> 02:09:55,087
[Big Show] Bradshaw,
come No Way Out, you're gonna be trapped

3016
02:09:55,154 --> 02:10:00,026
in a steel cage
surrounded by barbed wire with me.

3017
02:10:00,992 --> 02:10:02,394
-[Jerry] Look at this.
-[Michael] Wait a minute.

3018
02:10:02,460 --> 02:10:04,597
That's Batista. Batista's here.

3019
02:10:04,664 --> 02:10:06,331
The power of The Animal.

3020
02:10:06,398 --> 02:10:09,302
[Big Show] Bradshaw,
run and hide while you still can.

3021
02:10:09,367 --> 02:10:12,204
[Michael] JBL will have to contend
with the Big Show inside

3022
02:10:12,304 --> 02:10:16,208
the barbed wire steel cage,
but he'll also have to deal with Batista.

3023
02:10:17,209 --> 02:10:20,146
[Big Show] JBL, there's no way out.

3024
02:10:22,714 --> 02:10:23,648
[music concludes]

3025
02:10:25,017 --> 02:10:27,652
[Michael] Perhaps there has never been
a more dangerous steel cage.

3026
02:10:27,719 --> 02:10:30,790
Much like a prison,
razor-sharp wire covers the top,

3027
02:10:30,856 --> 02:10:34,927
a deterrent to prevent people
from getting in or getting out.

3028
02:10:34,994 --> 02:10:38,798
[Tazz] Well, the cage with
the barbed wire surrounding the top

3029
02:10:38,864 --> 02:10:41,099
is awaiting its two victims.

3030
02:10:41,267 --> 02:10:42,835
[suspenseful music playing]

3031
02:10:45,737 --> 02:10:46,871
[bell ringing]

3032
02:10:46,938 --> 02:10:50,108
[Chimel] The following contest
is the first-ever

3033
02:10:50,175 --> 02:10:53,646
Barbed Wire Steel Cage match

3034
02:10:53,713 --> 02:10:56,816
for the WWE Championship.

3035
02:10:56,882 --> 02:11:01,152
Now, ladies and gentlemen, the only way
to win this match is inside the ring

3036
02:11:01,219 --> 02:11:03,656
by submission or pinfall

3037
02:11:03,723 --> 02:11:08,728
or escaping the cage
and having both feet on the arena floor.

3038
02:11:11,864 --> 02:11:13,432
["Longhorn" playing]

3039
02:11:13,531 --> 02:11:14,799
[Tazz] Here we go, Cole.

3040
02:11:23,342 --> 02:11:26,812
[Chimel] Making his way to the ring
from New York City,

3041
02:11:26,879 --> 02:11:31,083
weighing in at 297 pounds,

3042
02:11:31,150 --> 02:11:34,152
is the WWE Champion,

3043
02:11:34,219 --> 02:11:37,589
John "Bradshaw" Layfield.

3044
02:11:37,656 --> 02:11:40,393
[Michael] We mentioned earlier,
no longhorns on the hood of the limousine

3045
02:11:40,459 --> 02:11:44,797
for the champion, Tazz, 'cause of what
Batista did on SmackDown Thursday night.

3046
02:11:44,864 --> 02:11:47,299
But, nonetheless, the champion, JBL,

3047
02:11:47,366 --> 02:11:50,736
can be described,
in my mind, as a survivor.

3048
02:11:51,704 --> 02:11:56,008
He's held the title since June of 2004
when he defeated Eddie Guerrero

3049
02:11:56,075 --> 02:11:58,978
at The Great American Bash,
but he's defeated all comers,

3050
02:11:59,044 --> 02:12:01,414
controversially, but wins nonetheless.

3051
02:12:01,480 --> 02:12:06,419
People like The Undertaker, Booker T,
Eddie Guerrero, and Kurt Angle.

3052
02:12:06,986 --> 02:12:10,321
[Tazz] Well, JBL has done it.

3053
02:12:10,388 --> 02:12:12,023
He has to do it again tonight.

3054
02:12:12,090 --> 02:12:14,559
You can see the look on JBL's face.

3055
02:12:14,626 --> 02:12:16,562
Usually got that big toothy grin.

3056
02:12:16,629 --> 02:12:17,730
Not tonight.

3057
02:12:17,797 --> 02:12:19,365
The champion is focused.

3058
02:12:19,432 --> 02:12:22,401
The champion knows he's entering something

3059
02:12:22,468 --> 02:12:27,173
that's never ever been done before,
a barbed wire steel cage.

3060
02:12:27,239 --> 02:12:30,576
And he's gonna be trapped
in there with the largest athlete

3061
02:12:30,643 --> 02:12:32,344
in the world in the Big Show.

3062
02:12:32,411 --> 02:12:35,614
[Michael] You see JBL, the WWE Champion,

3063
02:12:35,681 --> 02:12:40,652
surveying the steel cage
that will be his prison

3064
02:12:40,719 --> 02:12:42,754
for the duration of this matchup.

3065
02:12:42,821 --> 02:12:45,089
The bottom line, Tazz,
is you're gonna have to win by pinfall

3066
02:12:45,156 --> 02:12:47,726
or submission because there's absolutely
no way you're gonna go over the top

3067
02:12:47,793 --> 02:12:49,428
of that cage with that razor wire there.

3068
02:12:49,495 --> 02:12:52,464
[Tazz] I don't know how you climb over it.
I don't know. I don't know.

3069
02:12:52,531 --> 02:12:55,401
I've said on Sunday Night Heat
that, you know, a couple of times,

3070
02:12:55,468 --> 02:12:57,402
the matches I've been
involved early in my career,

3071
02:12:57,469 --> 02:12:58,904
there was some barbed wire involved.

3072
02:12:58,971 --> 02:13:00,138
Never ever-- nothing like this.

3073
02:13:00,205 --> 02:13:02,040
Believe me,
I never would have got in a steel cage

3074
02:13:02,107 --> 02:13:04,576
surrounded by barbed wire. This--

3075
02:13:05,577 --> 02:13:09,013
This steel cage with this barbed wire
is gonna take a life on of its own.

3076
02:13:09,080 --> 02:13:10,648
It's a weapon. A dangerous weapon.

3077
02:13:10,715 --> 02:13:14,487
[Michael] And the champion, JBL,
said earlier tonight that his challenger,

3078
02:13:14,553 --> 02:13:17,388
the Big Show, had no soul.
That he had no guts.

3079
02:13:17,455 --> 02:13:19,157
That he should not even be
in this matchup.

3080
02:13:19,224 --> 02:13:21,527
[Tazz] Well, the general manager might
have overstepped his boundaries here

3081
02:13:21,594 --> 02:13:23,027
because no one should
have to go through this.

3082
02:13:23,128 --> 02:13:26,632
I mean, come on. I mean,
Bruno Sammartino is from this city.

3083
02:13:27,066 --> 02:13:28,500
It's a city of champions, Pittsburgh.

3084
02:13:28,567 --> 02:13:30,603
Would he have to go through
something like this?

3085
02:13:30,669 --> 02:13:32,004
-This is ridiculous.
-["Big" playing]

3086
02:13:32,103 --> 02:13:34,473
♪ Well, it's the Big Show ♪

3087
02:13:35,773 --> 02:13:39,945
[Chimel] And the challenger,
standing seven feet tall,

3088
02:13:40,012 --> 02:13:44,116
weighing 470 pounds,

3089
02:13:44,183 --> 02:13:47,253
the Big Show.

3090
02:13:47,318 --> 02:13:51,223
[Michael] On SmackDown, Thursday night,
Tazz, Big Show said he was willing

3091
02:13:51,824 --> 02:13:54,626
-to get his flesh ripped apart…
-[mouths] Mine. Mine.

3092
02:13:54,692 --> 02:13:57,530
[Michael] …to bleed to the mat
below in order to win

3093
02:13:57,596 --> 02:14:01,267
the WWE Championship
and defend that title at WrestleMania.

3094
02:14:01,333 --> 02:14:02,668
[Tazz] That just might happen.

3095
02:14:04,670 --> 02:14:07,205
Man, look how large the Big Show is.

3096
02:14:07,973 --> 02:14:11,442
The door is too small
for this monstrous man.

3097
02:14:12,510 --> 02:14:14,679
I'm getting goose bumps,
Cole, I'm telling you.

3098
02:14:18,616 --> 02:14:21,286
[Michael]
The WWE Championship is on the line.

3099
02:14:21,353 --> 02:14:24,656
You see the door close
and a chain will be wrapped around it.

3100
02:14:26,325 --> 02:14:27,492
It will be locked.

3101
02:14:28,360 --> 02:14:30,195
So, again, the rules of this matchup.

3102
02:14:30,262 --> 02:14:32,964
You win by pinfall or submission
or escape from the cage.

3103
02:14:33,031 --> 02:14:35,433
But unlike a traditional steel cage match,

3104
02:14:35,500 --> 02:14:37,803
you can't signal to the referee
to open the door,

3105
02:14:37,870 --> 02:14:39,571
so you can walk through because that door

3106
02:14:39,638 --> 02:14:41,272
is gonna be locked
for the duration of the matchup.

3107
02:14:41,373 --> 02:14:46,378
[Tazz] Well, there's nothing traditional
about a steel cage with barbed wire

3108
02:14:47,946 --> 02:14:51,616
just surrounding the top of the cage.
And you're right. That door stays shut.

3109
02:14:52,851 --> 02:14:56,120
[Michael] See how they double wrap
the chain around that door

3110
02:14:56,187 --> 02:14:57,856
and, there, the locks going on.

3111
02:14:58,523 --> 02:15:00,625
[Tazz] We got two very,
very large athletes in the ring.

3112
02:15:00,726 --> 02:15:02,561
I mean, they could put enough
weight behind it,

3113
02:15:02,628 --> 02:15:04,964
they might pop it,
but that's not popping nothing.

3114
02:15:05,030 --> 02:15:05,998
Big link on there.

3115
02:15:06,065 --> 02:15:07,333
-But here we go, Cole.
-[bell ringing]

3116
02:15:07,398 --> 02:15:08,800
[Michael] This is what it's all about.

3117
02:15:09,201 --> 02:15:12,771
The champion, JBL, with a right hand
to the challenger, the Big Show.

3118
02:15:12,838 --> 02:15:15,240
John Cena's already
in the main event at WrestleMania.

3119
02:15:15,307 --> 02:15:19,411
The winner of this matchup
will defend the title at WrestleMania 21.

3120
02:15:19,478 --> 02:15:22,348
And there are those huge hands
dropping the champion.

3121
02:15:23,115 --> 02:15:25,617
Is there any strategy
at all in this match?

3122
02:15:25,683 --> 02:15:27,652
[Tazz] You gotta try
and win it quick and survive.

3123
02:15:27,719 --> 02:15:28,920
Oh.

3124
02:15:28,987 --> 02:15:30,923
And use the cage as a weapon.

3125
02:15:30,990 --> 02:15:33,925
That's what Big Show
is attempting to do. And he--

3126
02:15:34,860 --> 02:15:36,762
-[Michael] JBL realizing it.
-[Tazz] JBL blocked it, yeah.

3127
02:15:36,829 --> 02:15:38,464
[Michael] Blocking it a couple of times.

3128
02:15:38,530 --> 02:15:41,366
And there's that frying
pan-like wide hand.

3129
02:15:42,300 --> 02:15:44,536
[Tazz] God Almighty. That is just--

3130
02:15:45,170 --> 02:15:46,371
[Michael] And what a right.

3131
02:15:46,437 --> 02:15:47,839
[Tazz] We knew this was gonna be physical.

3132
02:15:47,906 --> 02:15:50,009
And this thing, right out,
right from jump street,

3133
02:15:50,709 --> 02:15:55,114
just two-- just two men
just bruising each other up already.

3134
02:15:55,214 --> 02:15:56,714
[Michael] And, again,
the champion countered again.

3135
02:15:56,781 --> 02:15:59,018
And if you're the champion,
you gotta battle the Big Show in the ring.

3136
02:15:59,084 --> 02:16:00,986
You're not climbing
through that razor wire.

3137
02:16:01,053 --> 02:16:02,721
You're gonna rip yourself apart.

3138
02:16:02,788 --> 02:16:05,190
[Tazz] There's no cavalry out here.
No one can help JBL at all.

3139
02:16:05,257 --> 02:16:07,692
I just don't-- in my opinion,
I don't think JBL--

3140
02:16:07,759 --> 02:16:10,094
I don't think it's fair to him.
I don't think he should be in this match.

3141
02:16:10,161 --> 02:16:12,031
But what's done is done.
He's in the match.

3142
02:16:12,097 --> 02:16:14,933
[Michael] JBL off the ropes,
oh, knocking the Big Show down

3143
02:16:15,000 --> 02:16:16,835
with a big shoulder to the gut.

3144
02:16:16,902 --> 02:16:19,103
No disqualifications in this matchup.

3145
02:16:19,170 --> 02:16:20,505
It's basically anything goes.

3146
02:16:20,571 --> 02:16:22,574
-[Tazz] That was a smart strategy by…
-[Michael] Oh, and a neckbreaker.

3147
02:16:22,641 --> 02:16:25,044
[Tazz] …by JBL. Smart strategy.
Take a leg out.

3148
02:16:25,110 --> 02:16:27,312
-Lower the man's level-- I don't know.
-[Michael] Where the hell is he going?

3149
02:16:27,379 --> 02:16:28,813
[Michael] The champion
is gonna try to escape.

3150
02:16:28,880 --> 02:16:29,882
[Tazz] Let's see.

3151
02:16:31,849 --> 02:16:35,788
[Michael] Oh, he's surveying
the razor-sharp barbed wire,

3152
02:16:37,121 --> 02:16:38,923
maybe looking for an opening.

3153
02:16:39,458 --> 02:16:40,626
[Tazz] You gotta know where he can--

3154
02:16:42,928 --> 02:16:44,963
It's-- you can't-- you can't even--

3155
02:16:46,531 --> 02:16:48,433
[Michael] Now look at this.
JBL thinking differently

3156
02:16:48,500 --> 02:16:50,735
-and caught in midair by the Big Show.
-[Tazz] My God.

3157
02:16:50,803 --> 02:16:52,236
-Uh-oh, uh-oh.
-[Michael] That's a 300-pound man.

3158
02:16:52,304 --> 02:16:55,273
-[Tazz] Watch out. Look at this.
-[Michael] Fallaway slam by the Big Show.

3159
02:16:55,340 --> 02:16:56,341
[Tazz] God.

3160
02:16:57,208 --> 02:16:59,144
-And JBL is dead.
-[Michael] Into the cover quickly.

3161
02:16:59,210 --> 02:17:00,913
-[Tazz] Here we go, Cole.
-[Michael] Title's on the line

3162
02:17:00,978 --> 02:17:03,115
and a kick-out by the champion.

3163
02:17:03,181 --> 02:17:05,517
[Tazz] Very smart by the Big Show.

3164
02:17:05,583 --> 02:17:07,820
Very smart. Go for the cover quick.

3165
02:17:07,886 --> 02:17:10,956
Hit a high-impact move
and try and win the match.

3166
02:17:11,323 --> 02:17:13,759
[Michael] And, again,
a right hand by the Big Show,

3167
02:17:13,825 --> 02:17:16,127
who's been dominating since the get-go.

3168
02:17:16,195 --> 02:17:17,762
And sort of what I expected.

3169
02:17:17,830 --> 02:17:21,532
I figured this matchup would go
this route, with the Big Show dominating.

3170
02:17:21,933 --> 02:17:25,938
[Tazz] Well, the Big Show is-- oh, God.

3171
02:17:26,003 --> 02:17:28,806
I'm telling you at home,
I cannot explain what that feels like.

3172
02:17:28,906 --> 02:17:30,708
Look at the arm right there.
The forearm. It's bleeding.

3173
02:17:30,876 --> 02:17:32,144
That must've been--

3174
02:17:32,210 --> 02:17:34,011
[Michael] That's when Bradshaw
was on the top rope

3175
02:17:34,079 --> 02:17:36,081
and he was feeling for a--
for, perhaps, an opening.

3176
02:17:36,147 --> 02:17:38,082
He got-- he got cut by that barbed wire.

3177
02:17:38,150 --> 02:17:39,785
[Tazz] Well, that barbed wire will--

3178
02:17:39,984 --> 02:17:41,053
-[slapping]
-[crowd exclaiming]

3179
02:17:41,119 --> 02:17:44,690
[Tazz] It will just-- will just shred
your skin, I mean, right apart.

3180
02:17:44,757 --> 02:17:46,557
I mean, I'm telling you, it's so-- wait!

3181
02:17:46,625 --> 02:17:48,293
[Michael] Thumb to the eye
by the champion.

3182
02:17:48,527 --> 02:17:50,662
-Bradshaw, again, going to the top rope.
-[Tazz] Here we go. Trying to get--

3183
02:17:50,728 --> 02:17:51,830
[Michael] Gonna try to escape.

3184
02:17:51,896 --> 02:17:54,900
Looking for an opening but there is none.
There is no opening up there.

3185
02:17:54,966 --> 02:17:57,169
This is-- like I said before,
it's like a prison wire.

3186
02:17:57,235 --> 02:17:58,837
-Look at JBL.
-[Tazz] Watch out. Watch out.

3187
02:17:58,904 --> 02:18:01,038
[Michael] Shoulder knockdown,
ran into a brick wall.

3188
02:18:01,106 --> 02:18:02,741
That's like running into a wall.

3189
02:18:03,174 --> 02:18:06,311
[Tazz] And that's-- well, I mean, JBL is,
you know, about six-foot-six,

3190
02:18:06,377 --> 02:18:09,681
six-foot-seven and usually he knocks
people on their rear ends with that.

3191
02:18:09,748 --> 02:18:10,815
Here we go. Here we go.

3192
02:18:10,883 --> 02:18:12,017
[Michael] Oh, what a suplex.

3193
02:18:12,083 --> 02:18:13,919
Big Show has been methodical.

3194
02:18:13,985 --> 02:18:15,420
He's been deliberate.

3195
02:18:15,486 --> 02:18:17,288
And it may just be a matter of time

3196
02:18:17,356 --> 02:18:20,359
before the champion's reign
ends inside this cage.

3197
02:18:20,424 --> 02:18:21,927
[Tazz] I think you hit the nail
on the head.

3198
02:18:21,993 --> 02:18:23,695
He's been methodical, and that's the key.

3199
02:18:23,761 --> 02:18:27,866
Big Show not being overzealous,
staying zoned in--

3200
02:18:27,932 --> 02:18:31,969
staying zoned in on the champion, on JBL.

3201
02:18:32,037 --> 02:18:33,638
Big Show knows what's at--
what's at stake.

3202
02:18:33,771 --> 02:18:36,108
Oh, that looks like the fourth or fifth.

3203
02:18:36,642 --> 02:18:38,976
One of those
frying pan-like chops to the chest.

3204
02:18:39,710 --> 02:18:42,280
[Michael] Remember, you know
how much that title means to JBL.

3205
02:18:42,347 --> 02:18:46,385
He said his body is temporary,
the title is eternal.

3206
02:18:46,450 --> 02:18:48,821
Oh, wait. Big Show bouncing off the steel.

3207
02:18:48,886 --> 02:18:52,423
And not just the steel cage meshing,
but that steel post

3208
02:18:52,491 --> 02:18:54,993
-that keeps the mesh together.
-[Tazz] Yeah, that's a good point.

3209
02:18:55,059 --> 02:18:57,529
We're forgetting about the steel cage
these men are in.

3210
02:18:57,596 --> 02:18:59,865
You know, we're thinking about
the barbed wire only,

3211
02:18:59,931 --> 02:19:01,600
but there's so much more involved that--

3212
02:19:01,699 --> 02:19:04,570
you know, that's the weapon
of this match, is that cage.

3213
02:19:04,636 --> 02:19:07,806
[Michael] Yes. The mesh can rip the skin.
The support beams can knock you out.

3214
02:19:07,873 --> 02:19:11,143
Look, the champion again,
now on another side of the cage.

3215
02:19:11,209 --> 02:19:12,678
He continues to look for an opening.

3216
02:19:12,743 --> 02:19:14,346
[Tazz] Oh, my goodness.
Look at the Big Show.

3217
02:19:14,413 --> 02:19:15,913
[Michael] Big Show has been busted open.

3218
02:19:15,981 --> 02:19:18,583
I said his head bounced off
that support beam,

3219
02:19:18,683 --> 02:19:20,152
that steel support beam.

3220
02:19:20,585 --> 02:19:23,788
And I think Bradshaw realizes now
that the Big Show's bleeding

3221
02:19:23,856 --> 02:19:25,357
and now he's stalking his man.

3222
02:19:25,423 --> 02:19:27,492
[Tazz] Bradshaw is changing
his strategy now. Look at this.

3223
02:19:27,626 --> 02:19:31,096
[Michael] A shoulder block from
the top rope knocking the big man down.

3224
02:19:31,563 --> 02:19:33,232
[Tazz] And now JBL--

3225
02:19:33,866 --> 02:19:37,636
well, now that he knows--
he knows he's got this big monster wounded

3226
02:19:38,670 --> 02:19:41,240
and he's going right after
that wound, it looks like,

3227
02:19:41,306 --> 02:19:44,509
that open wound in his face
or head area of the Big Show.

3228
02:19:44,575 --> 02:19:45,610
[Michael] And JBL continues

3229
02:19:45,677 --> 02:19:47,412
-to open the Big Show up.
-[Tazz] That's a lot of blood, Cole.

3230
02:19:47,478 --> 02:19:50,782
[Michael] The more blood the Big Show
loses, the weaker the big man gets.

3231
02:19:50,849 --> 02:19:53,285
-And now Bradshaw--
-[Tazz] A moment ago, you noticed that

3232
02:19:53,351 --> 02:19:57,422
Bradshaw-- JBL was trying to get out
of this steel cage, but now,

3233
02:19:57,489 --> 02:19:59,558
like I said, changes--
changed his strategy.

3234
02:19:59,625 --> 02:20:02,360
[Michael] Here's the cover,
shoulders down, kick-out by Big Show.

3235
02:20:02,427 --> 02:20:04,229
But, again, he changes
his strategy because

3236
02:20:04,329 --> 02:20:05,898
this is what Bradshaw does so well.

3237
02:20:05,964 --> 02:20:08,867
Whenever he realizes
he's in control of the matchup,

3238
02:20:08,934 --> 02:20:11,770
he gains that confidence of a champion
and he beats the hell out his opponent.

3239
02:20:11,837 --> 02:20:12,838
[Tazz] There's nothing wrong with that.

3240
02:20:12,904 --> 02:20:14,405
That was an extremely
vicious kick to the face.

3241
02:20:14,473 --> 02:20:16,074
[Michael] Again, off the elbow,
another cover.

3242
02:20:16,141 --> 02:20:19,478
Pinfall or submission wins this matchup.
And a kick-out by Big Show.

3243
02:20:20,112 --> 02:20:23,414
[Tazz] Oh, I'll tell you what, JBL,
I thought the odds were against him.

3244
02:20:23,482 --> 02:20:26,118
Now, I mean, for some-- now what?

3245
02:20:26,184 --> 02:20:27,886
[Michael] I agree with you.
I May have spoken too soon

3246
02:20:27,953 --> 02:20:30,589
-about the resolve of this man.
-[Tazz] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

3247
02:20:30,655 --> 02:20:34,426
JBL-- that's the-- part
of the tag rope right there.

3248
02:20:34,493 --> 02:20:36,627
-[Michael] A tag rope.
-[Tazz] Another vicious kick to head.

3249
02:20:38,196 --> 02:20:39,631
He's got that tag rope in hand.

3250
02:20:39,698 --> 02:20:41,600
[Michael] And again,
remember, no disqualification.

3251
02:20:41,667 --> 02:20:44,536
And he's gonna use the tag rope
here to choke the Big Show.

3252
02:20:44,603 --> 02:20:46,705
And if he gets the Big Show
to pass out,

3253
02:20:46,771 --> 02:20:48,373
-submission, it's over. Goodbye.
-[Tazz] Look at that.

3254
02:20:48,440 --> 02:20:50,275
This is extremely graphic,
ladies and gentlemen.

3255
02:20:50,341 --> 02:20:51,609
And this is not--

3256
02:20:51,677 --> 02:20:56,047
this match picks apart your body,
which will pick apart your career,

3257
02:20:56,414 --> 02:20:59,918
and it's just extreme physicality here.

3258
02:20:59,984 --> 02:21:02,487
[Michael] The champion said earlier
tonight that you're not gonna walk

3259
02:21:02,587 --> 02:21:04,890
out of this matchup
the way that you came in.

3260
02:21:05,556 --> 02:21:08,592
You're gonna remember this day
for the rest of your career.

3261
02:21:08,660 --> 02:21:10,862
[Tazz] Well, I was just gonna say,
that's exactly what JBL said

3262
02:21:10,929 --> 02:21:12,831
and I think JBL was correct.

3263
02:21:13,966 --> 02:21:17,569
And now just--
JBL staying-- keeping the attack

3264
02:21:17,636 --> 02:21:19,538
steady-- oh,
nice reversal here by the Big Show.

3265
02:21:19,604 --> 02:21:24,376
[Michael] JBL off the ropes
and a big size-22, 5E boot to the skull.

3266
02:21:24,443 --> 02:21:25,811
[Tazz] But did he lose too much blood?

3267
02:21:25,877 --> 02:21:30,082
I mean, can Big Show capitalize
on the big kick, the big boot?

3268
02:21:30,148 --> 02:21:32,551
[Michael] Well, Big Show trying to regain
his composure here.

3269
02:21:32,617 --> 02:21:37,788
JBL crawling, as the challenger,
the Big Show, again in control.

3270
02:21:38,256 --> 02:21:40,559
-What's he gonna do here?
-[Tazz] Well, he's got him hooked--

3271
02:21:40,625 --> 02:21:42,060
got him hooked maybe for a--

3272
02:21:42,127 --> 02:21:45,396
[Michael] What the hell is this?
Bradshaw bounced off the steel.

3273
02:21:45,497 --> 02:21:47,399
Oh, and a powerbomb.

3274
02:21:47,466 --> 02:21:51,570
[Tazz] But before the powerbomb, Bradshaw
went face-first into the steel cage.

3275
02:21:51,636 --> 02:21:53,572
[Michael] And I don't even think
it was the cage again, Tazz.

3276
02:21:53,637 --> 02:21:56,641
I think he went face-first
into that steel support beam,

3277
02:21:56,707 --> 02:21:58,677
the same beam that opened up the Big Show.

3278
02:21:58,743 --> 02:22:01,613
[Tazz] Big Show-- I mean,
Big Show's eyes gotta be burning.

3279
02:22:01,713 --> 02:22:04,216
If you got blood flowing through your--
off your face,

3280
02:22:04,282 --> 02:22:06,083
in your eyes, it burns so much.

3281
02:22:06,151 --> 02:22:07,586
And Big Show is losing some blood here.

3282
02:22:07,652 --> 02:22:09,621
[Michael] And this is damage
caused by the cage,

3283
02:22:09,688 --> 02:22:12,924
not even the razor-sharp
barbed wire from the top of the cage.

3284
02:22:14,159 --> 02:22:15,961
[Tazz] I couldn't tell.
It looked like Big Show--

3285
02:22:16,061 --> 02:22:18,029
If we could get a shot of JBL's head.

3286
02:22:18,096 --> 02:22:21,133
I think he might-- he might be bleeding
also from-- I mean--

3287
02:22:21,533 --> 02:22:23,100
Look at this. Look at this. Oh.

3288
02:22:23,201 --> 02:22:25,337
[Michael] And again, yes,
JBL has been busted open.

3289
02:22:25,404 --> 02:22:27,105
Bounced off the steel mesh again.

3290
02:22:27,172 --> 02:22:31,276
And again into the steel, which will rip
that flesh, as we talked about earlier.

3291
02:22:32,243 --> 02:22:34,279
And, again, the cage is a weapon.

3292
02:22:34,346 --> 02:22:35,881
A cage takes on a life of its own.

3293
02:22:35,947 --> 02:22:38,449
It's like a carnivore that will eat flesh,

3294
02:22:38,517 --> 02:22:40,851
that will eat human beings alive
in the ring,

3295
02:22:40,919 --> 02:22:42,487
and that's what the cage is doing here.

3296
02:22:43,121 --> 02:22:46,892
[Tazz] Big Show just-- Big Show's on
the attack even though he's-- oh, man.

3297
02:22:46,957 --> 02:22:47,958
Headbutt.

3298
02:22:49,327 --> 02:22:52,431
[Michael] The WWE Championship
on the line.

3299
02:22:52,497 --> 02:22:56,034
Defending that title at WrestleMania
in the main event at stake.

3300
02:22:56,802 --> 02:22:59,204
One of these two men will be there.

3301
02:22:59,270 --> 02:23:00,771
[Tazz] And we knew it would be like this.

3302
02:23:00,839 --> 02:23:02,674
Now what? What the hell
is the Big Show doing here?

3303
02:23:02,774 --> 02:23:06,744
[Michael] Not this.
Monkey flip right into the steel again.

3304
02:23:06,812 --> 02:23:10,681
[Tazz] Pole vaulting
JBL face-first into that steel.

3305
02:23:11,817 --> 02:23:13,051
-And Big Show--
-[Michael] Wait minute.

3306
02:23:13,151 --> 02:23:14,752
-[Tazz] What?
-[Michael] It's the "Chief of Staff"

3307
02:23:14,820 --> 02:23:17,355
Orlando Jordan.
What the hell is he gonna do?

3308
02:23:17,422 --> 02:23:19,891
Now the Bashams.
What the hell has he got in his hand?

3309
02:23:20,926 --> 02:23:23,095
-What are the Bashams doing?
-[Theodore] Whoa, hold there, player.

3310
02:23:23,161 --> 02:23:25,262
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

3311
02:23:26,364 --> 02:23:28,233
Hold on just a minute, player.

3312
02:23:30,035 --> 02:23:31,036
Hey.

3313
02:23:31,536 --> 02:23:35,573
Now I assured America

3314
02:23:35,640 --> 02:23:38,342
and I let all these people know tonight

3315
02:23:38,410 --> 02:23:40,812
that there will be no way out.

3316
02:23:41,346 --> 02:23:45,850
So the best thing for the Bashams to do
is to get to stepping, gentlemen.

3317
02:23:45,917 --> 02:23:48,153
-[Michael] Did you see Orlando Jordan?
-[Theodore] You guys are out of here.

3318
02:23:49,887 --> 02:23:51,223
-[Tazz] Yeah.
-[Michael] Orlando Jordan left

3319
02:23:51,288 --> 02:23:53,324
-the bolt cutters--
-[Theodore] Hey. And, by the way,

3320
02:23:53,425 --> 02:23:55,894
Orlando, it goes for you too.

3321
02:23:55,961 --> 02:23:57,429
Get to stepping, player.

3322
02:23:57,529 --> 02:23:59,498
-Come on. You're out of here.
-[Michael] Orlando Jordan left--

3323
02:23:59,598 --> 02:24:01,332
he left the bolt cutters to Bradshaw.

3324
02:24:01,399 --> 02:24:03,802
And Big Show doesn't realize
Bradshaw's got the bolt cutters.

3325
02:24:03,868 --> 02:24:06,204
-[Tazz] No one realize-- oh.
-[Michael] Right to the skull.

3326
02:24:06,270 --> 02:24:07,939
And there's no disqualification.

3327
02:24:08,006 --> 02:24:11,877
But the bolt cutters-- Bradshaw,
another Clothesline from Hell

3328
02:24:11,943 --> 02:24:16,648
-taking the Big Show down.
-[Tazz] How smart of JBL's cabinet

3329
02:24:16,715 --> 02:24:19,184
and JBL to have a plan. Look at this.

3330
02:24:19,251 --> 02:24:20,685
[Michael] Here's the cover,
shoulders down.

3331
02:24:20,752 --> 02:24:23,321
-[Tazz] JBL did it.
-[Michael] And Big Show kicked out.

3332
02:24:23,387 --> 02:24:26,424
But the Bashams were able to cut
enough of that cage open,

3333
02:24:26,491 --> 02:24:29,761
so Orlando Jordan could slip
the bolt cutters into the ring.

3334
02:24:30,494 --> 02:24:31,963
[Tazz] Come on, Cole.
Can you admit it now?

3335
02:24:32,063 --> 02:24:33,965
You give JBL and his cabinet credit.

3336
02:24:34,032 --> 02:24:35,233
-How smart--
-[Michael] Give them credit?

3337
02:24:35,300 --> 02:24:37,234
The damn cabinet cheated again.

3338
02:24:37,302 --> 02:24:40,438
And now Bradshaw is probably
gonna steal the damn title.

3339
02:24:41,773 --> 02:24:43,975
[Tazz] Well, that remains to be seen.
We'll see.

3340
02:24:44,042 --> 02:24:46,278
Both men losing so many-- so much blood.

3341
02:24:46,344 --> 02:24:49,648
[Michael] Look at JBL
just measuring his man. Uh-oh.

3342
02:24:49,714 --> 02:24:50,948
JBL got caught.

3343
02:24:51,016 --> 02:24:52,417
I spoke too soon.

3344
02:24:52,484 --> 02:24:53,851
There is the chokeslam.

3345
02:24:53,919 --> 02:24:55,153
-Here's the cover.
-[Tazz] New champ.

3346
02:24:55,220 --> 02:24:56,555
-It's over.
-[Michael] Big Show probably going

3347
02:24:56,621 --> 02:24:58,089
to WrestleMania-- no, not right now.

3348
02:24:59,791 --> 02:25:02,160
[Tazz] Look at the face of Big Show.
The frustration.

3349
02:25:02,860 --> 02:25:05,396
Look at the-- Oh, my God.
Oh, jeez. Look at that.

3350
02:25:06,297 --> 02:25:08,366
[Michael] JBL dripping blood.

3351
02:25:08,433 --> 02:25:10,734
Big Show, a pool of blood as well.

3352
02:25:10,802 --> 02:25:12,270
Big Show frustrated.

3353
02:25:12,337 --> 02:25:13,705
You hit the nail on the head, partner.

3354
02:25:13,771 --> 02:25:16,841
Big Show extremely frustrated
that he didn't get the win there.

3355
02:25:16,908 --> 02:25:19,678
[screams]

3356
02:25:20,212 --> 02:25:22,113
[Tazz] Well, I'm kinda wondering.

3357
02:25:22,180 --> 02:25:23,782
I mean, how-- what more
has gotta happen here?

3358
02:25:23,882 --> 02:25:25,283
Come on, you son of a bitch.

3359
02:25:25,617 --> 02:25:27,152
[Michael] The champion begging off.

3360
02:25:27,851 --> 02:25:29,821
[Tazz] Both these men
lost so much blood, Cole.

3361
02:25:29,887 --> 02:25:32,157
-And Big Show now is--
-[Michael] Low blow.

3362
02:25:32,224 --> 02:25:34,559
A low blow perfectly legal.

3363
02:25:34,626 --> 02:25:37,996
And a boot off the open wound
on the skull of the Big Show.

3364
02:25:38,063 --> 02:25:41,533
The cover by champion,
shoulders down, and a kick-out.

3365
02:25:42,267 --> 02:25:47,072
[Tazz] The third vicious boot to the face
of the Big Show by JBL.

3366
02:25:47,137 --> 02:25:50,574
[Michael] JBL said he would be carried
out of the ring if he had to

3367
02:25:50,642 --> 02:25:53,778
because his body is temporary,
his title is eternal.

3368
02:25:53,845 --> 02:25:55,614
And you're not
getting out the door, champ.

3369
02:25:55,714 --> 02:25:57,616
The door has been locked and bolted.

3370
02:25:57,681 --> 02:25:59,451
[Tazz] I'm telling you,
Cole, watching this match,

3371
02:25:59,517 --> 02:26:04,322
any normal man would be beat,
but not the Big Show, not JBL.

3372
02:26:04,389 --> 02:26:06,424
They're still persevering.
They're fighting on.

3373
02:26:06,491 --> 02:26:09,928
[Michael] And look at the champion looking
around for a way to get out of this cage.

3374
02:26:10,962 --> 02:26:12,998
[Tazz] Well, he's got those-- He already
cracked the Big Show in the head

3375
02:26:13,064 --> 02:26:14,232
with those bolt cutters.

3376
02:26:16,001 --> 02:26:17,502
-Well--
-[Michael] Wait a minute.

3377
02:26:19,738 --> 02:26:20,939
The Big Show down center of ring.

3378
02:26:21,006 --> 02:26:24,643
JBL climbing to the--
to the top rope, but--

3379
02:26:24,708 --> 02:26:26,444
[Tazz] He's got the bolt cutters in hand.

3380
02:26:28,346 --> 02:26:30,414
[Michael] Look at this.
JBL's-- he's-- come on.

3381
02:26:30,482 --> 02:26:32,684
-He's gonna try to cut his way out.
-[Tazz] Are you kidding?

3382
02:26:33,051 --> 02:26:34,351
-[Michael] And Big Show--
-[Tazz] How smart is--

3383
02:26:34,419 --> 02:26:36,554
-I never thought of that.
-[Michael] And look at JBL trying to cut

3384
02:26:36,621 --> 02:26:38,890
that razor wire away
to get himself a hole.

3385
02:26:38,957 --> 02:26:40,190
And look at Big Show.

3386
02:26:40,824 --> 02:26:43,461
[Tazz] But, wait, did he--
did he lose the bolt cutters?

3387
02:26:43,528 --> 02:26:44,929
[Michael] I think he dropped them.

3388
02:26:44,996 --> 02:26:46,797
Yeah, Bradshaw did drop the bolt cutters.

3389
02:26:46,865 --> 02:26:48,300
And now exchanging blows with Big Show.

3390
02:26:48,366 --> 02:26:51,636
[Tazz] Well, they're both on the top rope.
That's a lot of tonnage up there.

3391
02:26:51,703 --> 02:26:55,640
[Michael] Bradshaw bounced off the steel
of the top of that cage.

3392
02:26:55,707 --> 02:26:59,743
-And, again, the open wound
-[Tazz] Oh, my God, skull-first.

3393
02:26:59,811 --> 02:27:02,847
And that razor wire--
that barbed wire is up there.

3394
02:27:03,414 --> 02:27:06,418
[Michael] A third time
bounced off the steel support beam.

3395
02:27:07,719 --> 02:27:09,988
[Tazz] Oh, my God. This is just--

3396
02:27:10,055 --> 02:27:12,123
[Michael] JBL viciously assaulted,

3397
02:27:12,223 --> 02:27:14,826
trying to battle back
against the challenger.

3398
02:27:15,225 --> 02:27:17,162
And a thumb to the eye by the champion.

3399
02:27:17,228 --> 02:27:19,898
[Tazz] Both men on the top rope,
balance themselves--

3400
02:27:20,765 --> 02:27:23,100
[Michael] All about survival here,
ladies and gentlemen.

3401
02:27:23,168 --> 02:27:25,303
All about the WWE title.

3402
02:27:25,369 --> 02:27:27,505
All about WrestleMania's main event.

3403
02:27:27,572 --> 02:27:32,377
One of these two men will defend the title
at WrestleMania against John Cena.

3404
02:27:32,444 --> 02:27:34,112
We know Cena's in the main event,

3405
02:27:34,179 --> 02:27:36,648
as Big Show and JBL
battle on the top rope.

3406
02:27:36,715 --> 02:27:41,286
[Tazz] Well, we know-- obviously,
this thing here is like a car wreck, Cole.

3407
02:27:41,353 --> 02:27:43,188
I mean, both men bleeding bad.

3408
02:27:43,253 --> 02:27:46,291
-They're trying to find a--
-[Michael] Trying to find a way out, yeah.

3409
02:27:46,358 --> 02:27:49,860
Trying to find an opening on the top
of that cage but there isn't any.

3410
02:27:49,928 --> 02:27:53,631
[Tazz] Oh, no. This thing is just--
there's barbed wire everywhere.

3411
02:27:55,266 --> 02:27:56,967
-Oh, my.
-[Michael] Uh-oh, look at this.

3412
02:27:57,035 --> 02:27:59,237
-[Tazz] He's got him goozled.
-[Michael] Big Show's got JBL.

3413
02:27:59,304 --> 02:28:01,840
[Tazz] JBL is in trouble. Oh!
-[Michael] Chokeslam.

3414
02:28:04,509 --> 02:28:05,510
Holy--

3415
02:28:05,577 --> 02:28:08,546
[crowd cheering]

3416
02:28:08,645 --> 02:28:10,814
[crowd chanting] Big Show! Big Show!

3417
02:28:15,619 --> 02:28:20,625
[Michael] Big Show just chokeslammed
the champion through the ring.

3418
02:28:24,895 --> 02:28:26,131
[Tazz] Wow.

3419
02:28:26,197 --> 02:28:27,664
[Michael] Through the canvas.

3420
02:28:27,732 --> 02:28:28,800
Through the lumber.

3421
02:28:28,867 --> 02:28:31,269
Through the steel. Through the ring.

3422
02:28:33,104 --> 02:28:34,339
[Tazz] Oh, my God.

3423
02:28:34,405 --> 02:28:38,676
[Michael] The champion is barely moving.

3424
02:28:39,544 --> 02:28:41,112
[Tazz] He's not moving, Cole.

3425
02:28:42,247 --> 02:28:43,348
My God.

3426
02:28:45,483 --> 02:28:46,518
Look at that.

3427
02:28:47,051 --> 02:28:51,655
[Michael] Big Show chokeslammed
a 300-pound man through the ring.

3428
02:28:54,192 --> 02:28:55,726
[Tazz] I don't know what to say.

3429
02:28:55,794 --> 02:28:57,261
[Michael] I'll tell you what I can say.

3430
02:28:57,328 --> 02:29:01,866
The WWE Championship is coming
to the largest athlete in the world today.

3431
02:29:01,933 --> 02:29:05,369
The Big Show is gonna win this thing.

3432
02:29:05,770 --> 02:29:07,739
JBL has not moved.

3433
02:29:11,743 --> 02:29:13,945
[Tazz] He chokeslammed him
from the top rope, through the ring.

3434
02:29:14,011 --> 02:29:15,779
[Michael] But the problem is
Big Show is in a dilemma now.

3435
02:29:15,847 --> 02:29:16,848
What does he do?

3436
02:29:17,115 --> 02:29:21,019
Can you pin Bradshaw in a mess underneath
the-- underneath the ring or--

3437
02:29:21,085 --> 02:29:23,321
[Tazz] Well,
there's the door that's bolted up.

3438
02:29:23,520 --> 02:29:24,521
[Michael] Wait a minute.

3439
02:29:24,689 --> 02:29:25,990
The Big Show--

3440
02:29:26,056 --> 02:29:27,759
[Tazz] Kick the whole
damn side of the cage off.

3441
02:29:28,393 --> 02:29:29,694
[Michael] Well,
he can escape over the top,

3442
02:29:29,761 --> 02:29:31,663
but he doesn't wanna do that
with the razor wire.

3443
02:29:33,865 --> 02:29:35,199
[fan] Come on, Show.

3444
02:29:35,667 --> 02:29:38,169
All Big Show has to do is get out
of the cage and this match

3445
02:29:38,235 --> 02:29:39,704
is over. He's going to WrestleMania.

3446
02:29:39,804 --> 02:29:41,739
[Tazz] He's lost a lot of blood, Cole.
I mean, look at this.

3447
02:29:41,806 --> 02:29:43,274
-[screams]
-[Tazz] What the hell is he doing here?

3448
02:29:43,341 --> 02:29:45,543
[Michael] He's trying to bust the--
Big Show--

3449
02:29:45,609 --> 02:29:46,877
Did he just bust the chain?

3450
02:29:46,945 --> 02:29:49,913
No, he didn't. Did he?
Yes, he did. [laughs]

3451
02:29:49,981 --> 02:29:53,851
The Big Show just busted the chain
and the lock off the damn door.

3452
02:29:54,419 --> 02:29:56,321
We're gonna have a new champion here.

3453
02:29:56,821 --> 02:29:59,424
Big Show is unlatching the door.

3454
02:30:00,958 --> 02:30:02,961
-[Tazz] I don't believe this, Cole.
-[Michael] Big Show is gonna walk through

3455
02:30:03,027 --> 02:30:04,761
the door and go to WrestleMania.

3456
02:30:04,829 --> 02:30:07,164
[Tazz] He busted the chain.
He's going to WrestleMania.

3457
02:30:07,232 --> 02:30:09,000
[Michael] Big Show is over the top rope.

3458
02:30:09,434 --> 02:30:11,536
[Tazz] Bradshaw is stuck in the ring.

3459
02:30:11,603 --> 02:30:14,639
[Michael] Big Show is out on the ring.
Big Show is out of the cage.

3460
02:30:14,706 --> 02:30:18,776
-Big Show is the new WWE Champion.
-[bell ringing]

3461
02:30:18,842 --> 02:30:20,110
-[Michael] Big Show is going…
-[Tazz] Wow!

3462
02:30:20,244 --> 02:30:21,579
[Michael] …to WrestleMania.

3463
02:30:22,680 --> 02:30:24,047
Can you believe it?

3464
02:30:25,917 --> 02:30:27,318
[Chimel] The winner of this match

3465
02:30:27,484 --> 02:30:32,289
-and still WWE Champion…
-[Michael] What?

3466
02:30:32,357 --> 02:30:34,926
-…John "Bradshaw" Layfield.
-[Tazz] Wait a minute.

3467
02:30:34,993 --> 02:30:36,694
[Michael] Chimel,
what are you talking about?

3468
02:30:36,761 --> 02:30:37,795
[Tazz] Listen, the ref--

3469
02:30:37,862 --> 02:30:39,497
[Michael] What the hell
are you talking about?

3470
02:30:39,564 --> 02:30:40,564
[Tazz] Wait a minute. Wait.

3471
02:30:43,100 --> 02:30:44,702
[Michael] Where the hell did he come from?

3472
02:30:44,769 --> 02:30:46,770
[Tazz] Wait. I don't-- I don't know--
anybody-- I don't know how--

3473
02:30:47,472 --> 02:30:49,407
[Michael] How is JBL still the champion?

3474
02:30:49,474 --> 02:30:51,175
How is JBL going to WrestleMania?

3475
02:30:51,242 --> 02:30:52,544
["Longhorn" playing]

3476
02:30:52,609 --> 02:30:53,845
[Tazz] Big Show ended up on--

3477
02:30:54,779 --> 02:30:56,614
-[Michael] Wait a minute.
-[Tazz] What the hell's going on here?

3478
02:30:56,681 --> 02:30:58,016
[Michael] Wait, whoa, whoa.

3479
02:30:58,550 --> 02:31:01,586
Big Show chokeslammed JBL
all the way to the floor, right?

3480
02:31:02,386 --> 02:31:03,588
[Tazz] Yeah, through the ring.

3481
02:31:04,655 --> 02:31:06,323
[Michael] Did he crawl--
did he crawl out of the--

3482
02:31:06,391 --> 02:31:08,091
[Tazz] I don't-- I don't-- I have no idea.

3483
02:31:09,928 --> 02:31:11,863
[Michael] Did the champion crawl--
he must have.

3484
02:31:11,930 --> 02:31:13,898
[Tazz] He must have. He must have just--

3485
02:31:14,933 --> 02:31:16,434
[Michael] I cannot believe this.

3486
02:31:17,769 --> 02:31:19,571
JBL is still the champion.

3487
02:31:20,471 --> 02:31:22,206
Big Show can't believe it.

3488
02:31:22,273 --> 02:31:23,942
And I don't believe
the assault is done yet.

3489
02:31:24,008 --> 02:31:25,143
[Tazz] No, I don't think so either.

3490
02:31:25,208 --> 02:31:28,378
And I, quite frankly,
I don't blame the Big Show here one bit.

3491
02:31:28,446 --> 02:31:31,082
[Michael] Oh.
And a right hand to the champion.

3492
02:31:31,149 --> 02:31:34,319
I thought the Big Show
had won the WWE title,

3493
02:31:35,252 --> 02:31:37,889
but, apparently,
the champion got out of the cage first.

3494
02:31:37,956 --> 02:31:41,125
[Tazz] Are you telling me that JBL
got chokeslammed from the top rope

3495
02:31:41,192 --> 02:31:43,360
through the ring
and he crawled under it and--

3496
02:31:43,428 --> 02:31:45,630
[Michael] And got out of the cage
before Big Show did.

3497
02:31:45,697 --> 02:31:46,831
That's what I'm telling you.

3498
02:31:47,966 --> 02:31:51,936
[Tazz] Well, now, JBL looks defenseless.

3499
02:31:53,838 --> 02:31:55,740
[Michael] And I understand that--
I understand that--

3500
02:31:56,440 --> 02:31:58,176
Well, first off, here's the chokeslam.

3501
02:31:58,242 --> 02:32:00,144
[Tazz] Which is-- that alone is just…

[Michael] And there he is.

3505
02:32:06,583 --> 02:32:08,286
[Tazz] He did-- oh, my God.

3506
02:32:08,353 --> 02:32:10,887
[Michael] The champion
crawled out of the ring…

3507
02:32:12,657 --> 02:32:14,324
-[Tazz] Wow.
-[Michael] …apparently, before--

3508
02:32:14,458 --> 02:32:16,060
[Tazz] And then referee
Brian Hebner saw it.

3509
02:32:16,160 --> 02:32:17,428
[Michael] Referee Brian Hebner
right there,

3510
02:32:17,494 --> 02:32:19,029
-as Big Show begins the assault.
-[Tazz] Oh, my God.

3511

02:32:28,405 --> 02:32:30,308
[Tazz] Like three on one right now.

3517
02:32:30,375 --> 02:32:31,975
The Big Show's lost a ton of blood.

3518
02:32:32,043 --> 02:32:33,511
He's getting stomped on--

-[Michael] Oh, my.
-[Tazz] Oh, my. He's here.

3523
02:32:48,225 --> 02:32:50,761
[Michael] The winner of the Royal Rumble,
Batista's here.

3524
02:32:50,862 --> 02:32:51,929
There go the Bashams.

3525
02:32:53,297 --> 02:32:56,434
-[Tazz] Well, I guess he showed up.
-[Michael] Clothesline on Orlando Jordan.

3526

Spinebuster. Batista's arrived.

3527

[Tazz] Evolution's Animal came, saw,

3529
02:33:05,842 --> 02:33:07,712
and he's kicking some ass right here.

3530
02:33:07,779 --> 02:33:10,381
[Michael] This is how Batista won
the Royal Rumble,

3531
02:33:10,448 --> 02:33:12,684
by destroying everything in his path.

3532
02:33:12,984 --> 02:33:15,386
God! Batista Bomb.

3533
02:33:16,119 --> 02:33:19,257
[Tazz] Major league impact
on that Batista Bomb.

3534
02:33:19,323 --> 02:33:22,092
[Michael] That's the kinda guy
we need on SmackDown.

3535
02:33:22,160 --> 02:33:25,529
Batista sending a message to the champion

3536
02:33:25,630 --> 02:33:29,534
and JBL wants no part of Batista
at WrestleMania.

3537
02:33:30,134 --> 02:33:32,336
[Tazz] Uh-oh. That's Cena.

3538

[Michael] The man JBL
faces at WrestleMania.

to meet each other for the title.

3541
02:33:42,947 --> 02:33:45,216
[Tazz] JBL caught between a rock
and a hard place.

3542
02:33:45,283 --> 02:33:47,285
[Michael] And Cena on the attack.

[Tazz] Whoa.

3545
02:33:51,154 --> 02:33:52,590
[Michael] Cena fired up.

3546
02:33:55,092 --> 02:33:57,528
[Tazz] It's just breaking down.
It's insane here.

3547
02:33:59,097 --> 02:34:01,866
[Michael]
It's chaos reigning at No Way Out.

3548
02:34:01,933 --> 02:34:03,201
[Tazz] It's out of control.

3549

[Michael] What is Cena doing?

3550
02:34:05,269 --> 02:34:06,604

3554
02:34:13,644 --> 02:34:14,645
[Michael] Oh, no.

3555
02:34:14,712 --> 02:34:16,714
[Tazz] Oh, I don't--
Big Show's defenseless.

-[Michael] Look at this.
-[Tazz] God.

3557
