[upbeat music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Vince] I would like to introduce to you
the enforcer in the main event at WrestleMania
and somewhat of a guest referee capacity,
Iron Mike Tyson.
[Ross] Austin going for the Stunner.
[Jerry] He got him! Mike Tyson in!
Austin is the champion.
[Ross] Shawn Michaels insulting Tyson.
[Jerry] Tyson, Tyson, Tyson right there!
Down goes Michaels!
[Vince] I'm gonna be very, very impartial and unbiased.
If I count one, two, three,
it's over by my hand only.
-[Jerry] Oh, my God! -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Oh, no, Vince McMahon! McMahon is out!
[Vince] By my hand only.
[dramatic music playing]
[Shane] The special guest referee will be none other than me.
-[Ross] Hey, what was that? -[bell rings]
Shane McMahon just fast counted Austin.
Shane McMahon with a fast count
just stole the WWE title from The Rattlesnake.
[Jesse] I am the only person who can deliver law and order
to where a champion will be decided in the center of the ring
[Triple H] If right here in the middle of this ring,
I feel like kicking your ass, I will.
[Jesse] It's my way or the highway.
Those are the rules, live with it.
[Stone Cold] If Jesse "The Body" gets in my face, wham, wham,
he'll get the Stunner just like anybody else.
[Jesse] It's The Body rules, it's my rules or the highway.
[Jerry] Will even Jesse "The Body" Ventura be able to control three men
with pride on the line
[Jesse] I have the power
The power. The power.
[fireworks popping]
[rock music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] The summer of 1999 is here
and it's time for SummerSlam!
Are you ready for an out-of-body experience?
Hello again, everybody.
I'm Jim Ross sitting at ringside with the mayor, King Jerry Lawler.
And, King, what an atmosphere,
what a-- What a night, we are in for, six titles on the line,
but The Body says he will provide law and order
in the Triple Threat match for the WWE title.
[Jerry] I wanna tell you, J.R., this place is jacked
and they better be because this is gonna be something tonight.
I can't wait to see Jesse "The Body"
in the ring with Mankind, Triple H, and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
-[laughs] -[Ross] What an event this is gonna be,
this is an extravaganza to say the least.
This extraordinary crowd on their feet, they are jacked.
We are ready and what a night,
for those who elected to be with us here at SummerSlam in the sold out
Target Center here Minneapolis.
Tickets went on sale and sold out in less than one hour several months ago.
We certainly wanna welcome everyone joining us--
-[Jerry] Oh, look, look, look. -It's simple.
I've been in the ring before, I know everything that can be done,
I know everything that can happen out there
but you're in my state now.
I am law and order here, the pinfall will take place in the middle of the ring.
-Are you clear? You can be out there… -You know what--
…but you interfere, you get in the way, and you'll deal with me out there.
You make all the rules you want,
I'll break every one of them if I feel like it.
-You know tell that to somebody else. -I'm gonna tell you--
-Because I don't care. -You break every one,
then you won't be the champ if you break every rule.
You better talk to him, Chyna. You better get--
[crowd cheering]
Chris. Chris, whoa.
Chris, I am sorry, man.
-I had to park the car up on the third-- -Listen to me. Be quiet. Listen.
-What? -I don't wanna hear your excuses.
I don't wanna hear your schtick,
I don't wanna hear your song and dance, Harold.
Do you believe that Chris Jericho is here to save WWE?
-Yes, I do. -Do you believe in what Y2J stands for?
-Absolutely. -Do you believe that I'm here
to save your job, Harold?
-Yes, yes. Yes. -Well, then you need to be on time.
You need to be precise, you need to get your act together.
It's all about impact, Harold.
Impact.
-It's Howard. -Oh, whatever.
Come on, let's go.
["Urban Cowboy" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
-[bell rings] -[Howard] Ladies and gentleman,
the following contest scheduled for one fall
is for both the World Wrestling Entertainment European
and Intercontinental Championship.
-[Jerry] Woo-hoo-hoo. -[Howard] Introducing first,
the challenger, from Nashville, Tennessee,
weighing 230 pounds, Jeff Jarrett!
And he is accompanied to the ring by Debra.
[Ross] What a way to start off SummerSlam, ladies and gentlemen.
And we thank you very much for inviting us into your homes once again.
-[Jerry whistling] Come here. -[Ross] With Pay-Per-View as only
the World Wrestling Entertainment can provide you.
[Jerry] Whoo. Yes.
-[Ross] And Jeff-- -[Jerry] And puppies as only Debra
can provide them.
[Ross] Jeff Jarrett and Debra, who seemingly
-have not been on the same page, King… -[Jerry] Okay.
-They had a few differences. -[Ross] …for the last couple of weeks.
[Jerry] Big deal. Look at the puppies, J.R.
Come on, ease up, Jeff.
[Ross] I think Jarrett is interested in winning the Intercontinental
and the European title tonight and not looking at puppies.
-[Jerry] Are you telling me-- -[Ross] And Jarrett may not be
a puppy lover here tonight, King, as I'm sure you are.
[Jerry] I don't get it. What is he doing here?
First of all, I don't even see how anybody could look--
could look Debra in the eyes, but now, where are the puppies going?
[Ross] I think Jeff Jarrett has just banished Debra from ringside.
-[crowd booing] -[Jerry] He's sending her back.
[Ross] Well, we knew that there was tension
in the, uh, Debra-Jarrett camp.
[Jerry] The puppies are going back, J.R. Wait a minute.
[Ross] Maybe she's gonna put those puppies back in the--
In the yard, I reckon.
[Jerry] Wait a minute.
There can't be a SummerSlam without puppies.
-[Ross] And listen-- -[Jerry] Oh, listen to this.
[Ross] This capacity crowd here shares your sentiment, King.
[crowd chanting] Asshole! Asshole!
[Jerry] I mean, I like Jeff all right, but no puppies?
[crowd chanting] Asshole! Asshole!
[Jerry] Come on, reconsider, Jeff, we want puppies.
-["The Real Deal" playing] -♪ So whatcha gonna do? ♪
[Howard] From Chicago, Illinois, weighing 268 pounds,
the World Wrestling Entertainment European
and Intercontinental Champion, D'Lo.
You know, have you seen how Jeff treats me? Come on.
-You know, come with me. You come with me. -I don't have partner tonight, okay?
Just be my partner.
[Ross] It sounds like Debra has, uh,
invited herself to join D'Lo Brown here, King, so.
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] Maybe we are gonna have, uh,
those puppies on display as you have mentioned earlier.
[Jerry] No, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Debra is with--
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] What?
-What is that? -[Ross] So D'Lo Brown
-taking Debra's suggestion… -[Jerry] What the--
[Ross] …to come out with him and that's gonna throw Jeff Jarrett
off his game plan.
[Jerry] I can't believe this, but I like it.
We gotta have puppies out here one way or the other.
[Ross] This sold out crowd of about 18,000,
very happy that the puppies have reappeared here on SummerSlam.
[Jerry laughing] The puppies have reappeared.
[Ross] Brought a smile to your face, King.
[Jerry] Oh, it will have to be surgically removed.
[Ross] And we have two titles on the line here.
-D'Lo Brown is a dual champion -[Jerry] Look at Jeff.
[Ross] European and Intercontinental Champion.
And listen to the ovation for the youngster,
D'Lo Brown on top of his game,
-on top of the world here. -[Jerry] Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
They're not cheering D'Lo.
They're cheering the puppies.
-Yeah. Look, look-- Oh, oh. Woo-hoo. -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry whistling]
Come here.
♪ Is that what you got? Bring it on ♪
♪ So whatcha gonna do about it? ♪
[Jerry] Maybe-- Oh, yes, yes.
[Ross] This is not making Jarrett happy as Jarrett is the challenger
for two titles here that D'Lo Brown holds,
the European title
-and the Intercontinental title. -[Jerry] Uh-oh. Look at this.
-[bell rings] -[Ross] And we are ready now,
the bell has sounded, Tim White has sounded--
has sounded the bell.
[Jerry] Jeff jumped D'Lo early there-- Hey.
Since Debra is not gonna be in Jeff's corner,
maybe she can come over and sit right here.
[Ross] You've got some business to tend to here, mister.
Nice high hiplock by D'Lo Brown.
[Jerry] Man.
[Ross] D'Lo Brown, an outstanding young competitor, no doubt about it.
Flying forearm knocking Jarrett down.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Both of D'Lo's titles on the line.
D'Lo Brown, certainly one of the brightest young superstars in the WWE
and he's got the goal now to prove it.
[Jerry] Oh, just because he's an accountant and a CPA.
[Ross] D'Lo Brown is a very dedicated young athlete.
At one time, his documented weight, over 400 pounds.
He's now around 255.
[Jerry] All you need to count to is two when you see Debra.
[Ross] Oh, that's a powerslam.
Leg hooked and a near fall,
the first in the match earned
-by D'Lo Brown and it has been all-- -[Jerry] It's that puppy power.
[Ross] It has been all D'Lo Brown thus far offensively.
-[Jerry] Look at this. Oh, man. -[Ross] Oh, what a right hand.
Big time right and another one, and Jarrett is in deep trouble here.
-[Jerry] Oh, no! -[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] Yes! -[Ross] There's a-- Then a powerslam.
Oh, my goodness, got a near fall.
D'Lo Brown really taking it to Jarrett here offensively.
You gotta wonder, King, how distracted is Jarrett now
that Debra is here with D'Lo Brown.
[Jerry] Well, he's gotta be awfully distracted but he's not showing it.
I never could understand how Debra--
Or how Jeff could even wrestle with Debra in his corner.
-Look at that. Look at those. -[Ross] Well, Jarrett has not been
a southern gentleman as of late,
as it relates to Debra,
-I can tell you that. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Nice standing vertical suplex by D'Lo Brown.
And D'Lo getting this huge crowd here in Minneapolis into the game.
[Jerry] I'm telling you, they're cheering the puppies.
[whistles] Come here.
[Ross] D'Lo on the second rope, looking to get a chance here.
-And-- Oh. -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Ross] And Jarrett, the veteran from Hendersonville, Tennessee,
with an outstanding move there, side stepping the contact.
And now Jarrett with a dropkick.
-[Jerry] Watch it. -[Ross] Jarrett's got a lot of skills.
There's just no doubt about that.
He certainly considered himself
the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time.
-[Jerry] Oh, look at that. -[Ross] And a baseball slide through,
and D'Lo was not safe in that environment.
And again Jarrett, uh, having a verbal exchange
and not very pleasant with Debra here on the outside.
[Jerry] Uh-oh. Here we go.
The champ is going. Oh!
[Ross] Jarrett sending D'Lo into the steel steps
and follows with a right hand.
Jarrett, the former Intercontinental Champion.
-[Tim] Put him inside the ring. -[Ross] Lost the title to D'Lo Brown
on Raw just a couple of weeks ago.
Another right hand by Jarrett and down goes D'Lo.
[Jerry] And he sort of blamed Debra, but I don't agree.
[Ross] What do you mean you don't agree? What do you-- What do--
[Jerry] Well, I mean, how could you blame those puppies for anything?
-They're-- -[Ross] Oh!
Debra-- I think that Debra always--
It seems to me that she's always done her job.
Jarrett needs to look in the mirror maybe.
-[Jerry] Watch it. -[Ross] And D'Lo with a clothesline
sending Jarrett over the security wall
out in the front row at ringside here.
Jarrett quite frankly has been nothing
-but a jerk in my opinion. -[Jerry] Hey, hey, hey,
watch your mouth now.
[Ross] Well, that's the way I feel about it.
He's not been very polite.
He's been very discourteous to Debra quite frankly.
[Jerry] Well, I mean, I think that Jeff figures that Debra serves a purpose,
a certain purpose and he needs-- Oh, look at this.
[Ross] You sound like a male chauvinist pig.
[Jerry] What?
-[Ross] What do you mean serves a purpose? -[Jerry] That's what Chyna called you.
-[Ross] I remember. -[Jerry laughing]
[Ross] D'Lo Brown face first into the edge of the ring now.
-[Jerry] Oh. Oh, man! -[Ross] And referee Tim White giving
both these men some leeway here
as D'Lo just got introduced to the ring post.
Jarrett does not want this match to end on a count out,
I can tell you that, because if that happens,
-Jarrett will leave here empty-handed. -[Jerry] Look at this.
[Ross] And there's Debra trying to help D'Lo.
I don't blame Debra for asking D'Lo to come out here with him
after the way she was treated earlier by Jeff Jarrett
before this match even got underway.
[Jerry] Well, you know, I knew it was just a matter of time.
I knew that Debra was gonna leave Jeff Jarrett the way he was treating her,
but I'm just surprised she showed right back up here with D'Lo.
[crowd chanting] D'Lo! D'Lo! D'Lo
[Jerry] Women are fickle.
[Ross] I don't necessarily think that Debra has an allegiance to D'Lo.
She just wants to get back at Jeff Jarrett here
for being mistreated, and she's got a solid case for that.
Get off! Get off! One
-[Ross] Oh, watch out. -[Jerry] Oh, boy.
-This could do it. -[Ross] Yeah.
Certainly dangerous move right here.
[Jerry] Oh!
[Ross] Almost a DDT-like maneuver on the arm,
that armbreaker off the second rope to get more leverage,
and now D'Lo Brown's left arm may be helpless.
[Jerry] Oh, man, look at that.
[Ross] And now, Jarrett going right for that left shoulder.
-Hey, Jarrett, get off. -[crowd chanting]
Let it go. Let it go.
And D'Lo Brown, he's in a-- Being, uh, punished here.
[Jerry] We want puppies.
Come on, clap, J.R.
[Ross] I can't clap and talk at the same time.
-I'm not that coordinated. -[crowd chanting] We want puppies.
[Jerry] Oh, they want puppies here in Minnesota.
[Ross] Jarrett has injured D'Lo Brown's left shoulder with that armbar takedown
and now hammers away at the Intercontinental
and European Champion, but not for long.
That was a very, very resourceful move by D'Lo Brown.
Good fast offensive pace here in this opening contest at SummerSlam.
-Uh-oh. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] D'Lo Brown looking to go downtown with Jeff Jarrett.
-What a powerbomb. -[Jerry] That did it.
[Ross] And Jarrett knows what the D'Lo Brown experience
-is all down here. -[Jerry] See what you've done?
See what your puppies have done now, Debra?
[Ross] Anybody's ballgame, but it's to the champion's advantage
if this ends in a count out.
Debra, as we said earlier, would love to see Jarrett go down here.
And D'Lo Brown, just the guy that can get it done with two titles on the line.
-[Ross] Oh, look out. -[Jerry] Oh, my gosh!
[Ross] A tilt-a-whirl into a slam by D'Lo Brown.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] What a heel kick by D'Lo and now it's D'Lo Brown
-all over Jeff Jarrett again. -[Jerry] Oh, no.
[crowd cheering]
Not the leg drop.
[Ross] Oh! What a leg drop by D'Lo.
Could this be all? The leg is hooked, and the hand.
[Jerry] Woo.
[Ross] That's like the third near fall created by D'Lo Brown
in this dual championship matchup.
[Jerry] But that Jeff Jarrett is resilient.
Oh, yeah. Oh.
[Ross] D'Lo caught that right hand in there very…
-[Jerry] Look out. -[Ross] …very sternly and now follows it
with a nice suplex.
-So D'Lo Brown in offensive control. -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] He's feeling froggy.
He's gonna jump.
[Ross] It may be, uh, time for the Lo Down,
D'Lo's version of the Frog Splash.
Jarrett in perfect position for it.
-And oh. -[Jerry] Oh!
[Ross] Lost it.
D'Lo looking for a moonsault-like maneuver.
[Jerry] Hey, look, look. What's Debra doing? Come on, Debra.
You've done enough damage to Jeff.
-[Ross] Jarrett's got a guitar. -[Jerry] Uh-oh. Wait, what's he gonna do?
[Ross] And Jarrett-- Is he gonna hit Debra with that guitar?
-[Jerry] Don't do it. -[Ross] What the heck is Jarrett thinking?
And here comes Mark Henry.
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Ross] Mark Henry.
He's been training with D'Lo.
-They're running buddies. -[Jerry] Jeff.
Jeff.
[Ross] Thank God for Mark Henry being here to get that guitar away from--
-Wait, what the hell? -[Jerry] What?
[Ross] Mark Henry just hit D'Lo Brown in the back of the head with a guitar.
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] And the referee didn't' see it.
No. This is not right.
-[bell rings] -[Ross] And Jeff Jarrett
has won two titles.
[Howard] The winner of this match and new European
and Intercontinental Champion.
-[Jerry] What is going on? -[Howard] Jeff Jarrett!
[Ross] I don't understand this.
[Jerry] And now, look, look at Debra.
The puppies are back with Jeff.
[Ross] This is-- This must have been a-- They fooled everybody.
Jarrett, Debra, and Mark Henry.
-[Jerry] Look at that. -[Ross] They must have been
in some sort of collusion here.
[Jerry] Oh, do you think?
[laughs] This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
Man, oh, man.
[Ross] What a premeditated plan.
[Jerry] It's a puppy plan.
[Ross] Jeff Jarrett, Debra, and Mark Henry have maneuvered D'Lo Brown
into no man's land, and D'Lo now the former dual champion.
And Jarrett's got all the gold and the puppies but--
-Look at this shot, King. -[Jerry] Oh, unbelievable.
I couldn't believe it.
Mark Henry blasts D'Lo with that guitar and Jeff gets the win.
[laughs]
[Ross] Well, I'll tell you what--
Well, I'll tell you, Michael Cole had the opportunity earlier tonight
to talk to Edge and Christian, and here's what they had to say.
Edge and Christian, part of the Tag Team Turmoil match tonight,
it's Royal Rumble style and the rules are simple.
Two teams start, after one team is eliminated,
another team will enter the fray.
The eventual winning team gets a shot at the tag team titles
tomorrow night on Raw.
The first two teams to draw the first two numbers, Edge and Christian,
and the Hardy Boyz with Gangrel, The New Brood.
This is exactly what we want.
Christian and I have set our sights on the tag team titles and tonight,
we will go through every other tag team to become the number one contenders.
And who better to start off against. [laughs]
We got tired of following Gangrel's lead.
We got tired of living his life.
The fact is, we outgrew him.
So tonight, Hardys, Gangrel,
let the sideshow begin,
and the blood that spews will be their own.
-["You Think You Know Me" playing] -[woman] You think you know me?
[Ross] I'll tell you what, I am still in shock.
Mark-- What kind of human being is Mark Henry after all the great things,
the positive things that D'Lo Brown has done for Mark Henry
and Mark Henry's career
-and to have a dastardly attack-- -[Jerry] Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.
Hold on a minute. All the things that D'Lo has done for Mark Henry?
The last time I saw D'Lo, he was down on Mark Henry,
he was calling him fat, he was training him so hard.
-Mark Henry-- -[Ross] He was trying-- He was trying
-to help him and you know that. -[Jerry] Oh, come on.
[Ross] He was trying to help Mark Henry get into fighting shape.
[Howard] The following contest is the Tag Team Turmoil match.
[Jerry] He looked like he was in fighting shape, all right.
[Howard] Introducing first, at a combined weight of 462 pounds,
Christian and Edge!
[Ross] So this is a very important matchup for six teams that have entered
this Tag Team Turmoil match.
The number one contenders on the line here.
Whomever wins this match tonight will meet the WWE Tag Champions
tomorrow night on Raw for the gold.
[Jerry] This is, like, a sort of a Royal Rumble style
-elimination match, right? -[Ross] It certainly is.
We'll start with two teams.
We heard who they're gonna be.
The New Brood, The Hardy Boyz with Gangrel,
against, uh, Edge and Christian.
And soon as, uh, one of those two teams have been eliminated,
-we'll have our third team enter the fray. -[Howard] And accompanied to the ring
by Gangrel, from Cameron, North Carolina,
a combined weight of 430 pounds,
Matt and Jeff, the Hardy Boyz!
[Ross] Along with Gangrel, they're calling themselves The New Brood.
And after being, uh, managed and led to the tag titles
by Michael Hayes, we saw the-- We saw their loyalty.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. Look at this. -[Ross] Here comes The Hardys.
We need-- We may need an air traffic controller
-for this, uh-- This first exchange… -[bell rings]
…in this Tag Team Turmoil matchup.
[Jerry] Well, Gangrel put them through that little ritual there
and brother, they were fired up.
The Hardy Boyz starting off like house on fire.
Look at this.
-Oh! -[Ross] I'm not so sure I like the Edge
and Christian's odds with Gangrel here. Basically,
whether you like it or not,
it's basically three versus two because I just don't think that Gangrel
has the character to stay out of the contest.
-[Jerry] Well, you don't, huh? -[Ross] I don't.
-It's Edge and Matt Hardy in there. -[Jerry] Oh!
[Ross] Nice side Russian leg sweep.
Man, these are four outstanding young competitors here in the WWE
that certainly have electrified fans
all over the world with their high-risk offense.
All four of these young men are innovative,
double hiplock takeover and there's a cover.
Christian covering Matt Hardy and got a near fall.
As soon as one team has been eliminated
in any form, uh, they will leave and return to the locker room
and another team will come out and take on the survivors.
[Jerry] Oh, look at that.
[Ross] Well, these guys, uh, they don't know but one speed
and that's wide open.
-Oh, there's that-- -[Jerry] Oh!
[Ross] There's that shot by Gangrel on the outside.
[Jerry] I hate so say it, but I guess you were right, J.R.
[Ross] There's the cover, this could be-- No, it's not.
Gangrel with a right hand and looked as if that may have been enough
but it wasn't, as Christian able to kick out before the three.
[Jerry] Well, a lot of history between these two teams,
you know, Gangrel, I'm sure it still-- it still eats at him.
Oh, man.
-[Ross] Now-- -[Jerry] And then Edge and Christian,
well, they deserted him.
They broke up the Brood.
[Ross] Well, that's your story but I don't--
I think that it was Gangrel's own, uh, decision.
We saw how he acted. Wait, there's a cover.
Gangrel calling the Hardy Boyz, The New Brood, of course,
Edge and Christian are brothers.
Modified slam by Jeff Hardy.
[Jerry] Look at this.
-Oh, God! -[Ross] Oh. A springboard.
-[Jerry] Beautiful. -[Ross] Right into a Splash.
-[Jerry] Got him. -[Ross] And another near fall. Wow.
Unbelievable offensive display by these four young men.
They are simply amazing at times and--
-[Jerry] Oh, my God! -[Ross] Another great move by the Hardys,
showing great teamwork,
they're brothers as well from North Carolina.
There's a hard right hand, a succession of them.
[Jerry] Forget North Carolina, the Hardy Boyz. I mean,
these guys have come from nowhere to, I mean, to the heights of the WWE.
[Ross] Oh, near fall.
[Jerry] They're gonna really go places now that they've, uh--
Now that they've dumped Dok. [chuckles]
[Ross] You mean Michael Hayes?
[Jerry] Well, whatever you wanna call him.
[Ross] And align themselves with Gangrel, well, time will tell.
[Jerry] All you gotta call him is loser, he's out.
-You know what I mean? -[Ross] Well, what--
Let's take another look here, our Double Feature.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] What a move.
Beautiful.
[Ross] Christian in trouble, referee down, and got another near fall.
Christian been isolated now and you see some,
uh, very timely tags by the Hardy brothers,
Matt and Jeff Hardy.
-That's Jeff up on top. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Suplex by Matt and Jeff--
-[Jerry] Look at this! -[Ross] Oh, my, Swanton Bomb.
[Jerry] That's some of those frequent flyer miles we're talking about.
[Ross] That's some hang time and that could be--
Oh, Edge comes in and interrupts the count.
[Jerry] I'm telling you though, the luck of the draw really doesn't favor
these two teams because whoever wins this,
they just gotta keep on going right after that,
another team they're gonna have to face.
[Ross] Six teams and all have entered this competition.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. Look. -[Ross] Oh, look out here.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] A double reverse DDT by Christian
on the Hardy Boyz.
-And the fans here want the tag. -[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Ross] And there's the tag.
-Oh. -[Jerry] Wow.
[Ross] Here's Edge exploding.
Edge exploding on the Hardy Boyz.
It is a sudden death format here.
[Jerry] Uh-oh. Look out.
[Ross] Edge thrown over the top rope.
-And on the other side-- -[Jerry] Gangrel, he's not doing anything,
he's staying out of it.
[Ross] Matt Hardy hammering Edge here on the outside.
Christian with, uh, Jeff Hardy on the far side of the ring.
What the heck?
Oh, my God!
[Jerry] What?
[Ross] Hardy running down the top of the security railing
got speared right of off it.
[Jerry] Look at Gangrel.
[Ross] And Gangrel looking to get involved again.
-Wait, what's Christian-- -[Jerry] Oh!
-[crowd cheering] -[Ross] What a crossbody,
right off the top.
And wait a minute.
There's Matt Hardy.
-[Jerry] What's he gonna do? -[Ross] Oh, it's a moonsault!
A blind moonsault from the top to the floor.
These four young men are taking every chance in the book
in hopes of advancing here in this Tag Team Turmoil matchup.
[Jerry] Man, it's too bad both these teams can't win, this is great.
Oh.
[Ross] Matt Hardy hammering Christian with that right hand,
but Edge is back in. I think Edge is the legal guy.
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Ross] Oh, this doesn't look good for Matt Hardy.
-[Jerry] Look out! -[Ross] Oh, face first.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] And what an elbow right off the top.
-There's the cover. -[Jerry] Oh!
-[bell rings] -[Ross] Edge and Christian advance,
the Hardys have been eliminated.
["You Think You Know Me" playing]
[Howard] At a combined weight of 808 pounds,
Mideon and Viscera.
[Jerry] Well, the good news is they've won,
but the bad news is they've won.
[Ross] Here comes the 500 plus pound Viscera
and the, uh, very bizarre and unusual, Mideon.
Let's take another look, ladies and gentleman,
at that spear moments ago.
Watch this.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] Oh, unbelievable.
And, uh, it may be a different story here.
You won't see that high-risk offense, I'm sure, from Viscera and from Mideon.
They're gonna wanna slow it down and isolate.
Look at the size of-- Oh, my gosh!
What a fallaway slam by a 500-pound man.
[Jerry] Yeah, these, uh-- I mean, Christian and Edge,
they gotta totally rethink their offense now because you go, uh--
You go from two quick guys like the Hardy Boyz against--
To against Viscera and-- Oh, Mideon.
It's a totally different ballgame.
[Ross] Viscera has gotta be six-ten and over 500 pounds.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Mideon's about six-seven,
maybe a little more 300 plus, so obviously the size and power advantage
squarely in the corner
-of Mideon and Viscera. -[Jerry] Oh, boy.
Oh.
[Ross] Knee drop and somewhat of a lax cover but still got a near fall out of it.
You gotta believe that fatigue is gonna be setting in soon
if it hasn't already on Edge and Christian
after that exchange offensively with the Hardy Boyz
to start off this matchup.
[Jerry] Hey, look at this.
Forget fatigue, they're gonna be squashed.
Oh.
[Ross] Mideon taking too much time perhaps and Edge--
Or excuse me, Christian able to roll out of the way and avoid the contact.
-Edge gets a tag in. -[Jerry] Watch it. Oh.
[Ross] Edge with a knockdown on Mideon.
Pace quickens here.
-[Jerry] Whoa! -[Ross] When Edge and Christian get back
on offense, the pace quickens, but look at the size of Viscera.
How do you handle a man that huge with a clothesline?
I don't think it's gonna do it, Edge.
-[Jerry] Oh, man! -[Ross] Oh, my God.
What a-- What a rolling heel kick.
-[Jerry] That ain't gonna work. -[Ross] By Viscera, a 500-pound man.
[Jerry] Edge has gotta be knocked out. He's knocked out.
[Ross] What uncanny agility by a man the size of Viscera.
Irish whip far side and here comes Viscera.
-[Jerry] Look out. -[Ross] And Edge pulling Mideon
into the corner,
a double dropkick by Edge and Christian,
-double shoulder block. -[Jerry] Oh, my gosh!
[Ross] And outside goes the 500-pounder.
A spear, down goes Mideon.
-[Jerry] What? Look at -[crowd] One, two, three.
-[bell rings] -[Ross] And Edge and Christian
are on fire here.
Edge and Christian have just eliminated Mideon and Viscera.
And here comes our next team, Droz and Prince Albert,
two more of the young stars here who are hungry in the WWE.
They wanna get in the tag title hunt, there's no doubt about that.
[Jerry] Oh.
Once again, the good news for Edge and Christian is they won,
but looking at their opponents, the bad news is they won.
[Ross] Droz certainly one of the most unorthodox competitors in the WWE,
coming out of a very structured environment,
played college football at the University of Maryland,
played for the Denver Broncos for a time as well.
But Droz is certainly, as is Prince Albert,
-a free spirit. -[Jerry] Hey.
[Ross] A free thinking youngster.
[Jerry] Can I tell you one thing?
Nobody gives a damn about where he played college football
or what football team he played for.
All we care about is what he could do here in the WWE.
Talk about Prince Albert.
[Ross] Why don't you tell them about Prince Albert?
You prepared so hard. What do you know about him?
You don't know a damn thing about him, do you?
-[Jerry] You don't have to know anything. -[Ross] It's not--
[Jerry] All you gotta do is look at him. Look at-- Oh!
[Ross] If it's not in your handy yellow joke book,
you don't understand it.
-[Jerry laughing] -[Ross] All I know is that Edge
moved out of the way and Prince Albert,
he goes about 360 landing into the turnbuckle.
[Jerry] Now, I guess you're weighing everybody, too.
-Let me prepare. -[Ross] Look out.
Well, this is a devastating move right here.
[Jerry] Oh!
-[Ross] What a neckbreaker. -[Jerry] That's it.
[Ross] That's gotta be all right there. What a move.
And I think Christian thought the same thing,
that would have been it in my book.
-Christian able to-- -[Jerry] Look at Droz.
[Ross] Oh, not even a football stat but nobody cares about that.
[Jerry] Right.
[Ross] Knife edge chop, over the top on the far side.
My God, there's action all over the squared circle here.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] Oh, look at the power.
This is raw power, and a toplock.
On top goes Edge. Will it be enough?
-Not this time. -[Jerry] Woo!
[Ross] Uh, what a long two-count.
[Jerry] Edge and Christian couldn't believe that Prince Albert
kicked out of that.
[Ross] Downward spiral by Edge, will that be enough?
-[Jerry] He got him! -[Ross] Yes, it is.
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] Can you believe this
young brother-- Oh, my God.
Business had just picked up, The Acolytes are here.
[Jerry] How did they get out here so fast?
[Ross] And The Acolytes are not wasting any time, our fifth team.
Droz and Prince Albert had been eliminated by Edge and Christian,
but the former tag champions, The Acolytes.
-[crowd chatter] -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
Watch it.
[Ross] All over us here.
Faarooq just went face first into our table.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] And now Edge going back. He's going-- He's going airborne again.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
[Jerry] Well.
-[Ross] Missile dropkick! -[Jerry] I'm waiting for it.
Go ahead. Tell us about the football careers of Bradshaw and Faarooq.
[Ross] I'm not gonna do it now. You've hurt my feelings.
[Jerry laughs]
[Ross] We can talk about your mayor campaign
-but nobody is interested in that either. -[Jerry] Yeah. Okay.
-[Ross] There's the right hand by Edge. -[Jerry] Look at this.
[Ross] Oh, my-- Oh, Bradshaw, just walked right out of the corner
with Edge on his-- Under his arms and a powerbomb.
And the leg is hooked and again Christian coming in and interrupting the count.
[Jerry] Well, I'm gonna tell you this about this.
-[Ross] There's the cover. -[Jerry] The Acolytes, let's face it.
-[Ross] That's it. -[Jerry] They're not afraid of anybody.
These guys, Edge and Christian, I mean, they have performed marvelously.
They have really done themselves proud, but how long could they go on,
especially against The Acolytes?
Come on, J.R., face it.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] Some people say that it was an upset
when, uh, X-Pac and Kane took the tag titles from The Acolytes.
[Jerry] It was. Uh-oh.
[Ross] Nice spinning heel kick by Edge,
perhaps out of desperation, in any event it counted.
Faarooq rolling to his corner, that's a veteran move.
Faarooq hurt, rolling to his corner, tags in the fresh man Bradshaw.
And Bradshaw makes sure
that Christian is not in position for a tag any time soon.
[Jerry] That was a good move there.
[Ross] Bradshaw big, rugged Texan.
Boy, this, uh, Faarooq and Bradshaw, The Acolytes.
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Ross] They know one speed
and they know one direction.
Full speed straight ahead.
[Jerry] They will pound you into oblivion.
[Ross] Here's a cover.
And Edge and Christian who have dispatched three teams already
but this may be the biggest mountain of all to attempt to climb.
[Jerry] Wait a minute, wait a minute. Um, do I detect a note of--
-[Ross] Nice suplex. -[Jerry] I mean, do you feel sorry
for these guys now, Christian and Edge?
[Ross] There's the cover
and a near-- Another near fall.
[Jerry] I don't feel sorry for them a bit, J.R. They're young punks.
If they can't hang with a team like The Acolytes--
[Ross] I didn't say I feel sorry for them.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] You're mind reading again.
-[Jerry] Well, I thought-- Oh. -[Ross] Are you Cornette?
[Jerry] I just thought I, uh-- I thought I detected a little note
of pity in your voice there.
-[Ross] I admire these two kids. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] I respect them and there's the-- Oh, look at this.
That ain't gonna get it done. That's nothing but arrogance by Faarooq.
Faarooq and Bradshaw have--
[Jerry] Now, you're calling Faarooq arrogant, huh?
-Is that what you're doing? -[Ross] Well, what would you describe
that cover as, King?
[Jerry] I don't know, I'll just tell him you said that.
[Ross] I think you will.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Edge has been grounded.
And that is a good, solid, smart move by Faarooq.
Anytime you can keep, uh, Edge and Christian grounded,
you're gonna increase your chances of winning.
-[Jerry] Oh, look at this. -[Ross] Oh, wow.
Power on a spinebuster.
[Jerry] And I'll tell you, the only hope
that Edge and Christian have-- Look at this. I like that.
[Ross] Another arrogant cover!
[Jerry] I'm not surprised you said that.
The only hope-- The only hope that Edge and Christian have
is to get off their butts and get going here.
-But I don't think it's possible. -[Ross] Uh-oh.
Attempted backbreaker
and a DDT!
[Ross] A sudden quick DDT by Edge.
[Jerry] I guess it is possible.
[Ross] Well, I'll tell you what, we're back to square one in my book.
Faarooq making exchange with--
And here we go, tags on both sides.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Ross] Dropkick by Christian.
Christian showing that great quickness,
and a double team.
Outside goes Faarooq and now Bradshaw has been isolated.
Great dropkick by Edge.
I think Christian is the legal man here.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] And baseball slide on the outside
by Edge taking care of Faarooq, but Christian is the legal man here.
[Jerry] Well, they're definitely-- They're definitely trying
to keep Faarooq out of the ring.
Here goes one of those high-risk maneuvers, J.R.
-[Ross] Oh! -[Jerry] Oh!
That's why they call it high risk.
[Ross] Well, Faarooq changed Edge-- Or Christian's plans there.
-[Jerry] Look, he still got the Edge! -[Ross] Oh, a Tornado DDT.
That's gotta be it. That's-- It's over.
He did it-- No!
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Ross] Man, that was close.
[Jerry] You're dealing with The Acolytes here, J.R.
[Ross] And they are-- They are tougher than a three-dollar steak.
[Jerry] Look at this.
[Ross] Nice double team move. Wait a minute. There's The Hollys.
Why are The Hollys here?
Why are the Holly Cousins.
I guess the Hollys thought it was over.
They're the sixth and final team.
[Jerry] They thought that-- I guess they couldn't wait
because they thought the match was over.
[Ross] Well, maybe it should've been over.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Oh, God Almighty!
[Jerry] It's over now.
[Ross] Oh, the Clothesline from Hell, unbelievable.
-And The Acolytes… -[bell rings]
[Ross] …have just defeated Edge and Christian.
And now The Hollys, Hardcore and his cousin Crash.
[Jerry] Yeah, but this is not fair to The Acolytes now.
The Hollys just looking there like a couple of vultures.
[Ross] Not unlike The Acolytes did Edge and Christian moments ago, King.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Well, I'll tell you what,
Holly and Bradshaw look like a barroom brawl on the outside.
-[Jerry] Oh, my God. Oh! -[Ross] There's the Dominator
on Crash Holly but here comes Hardcore Holly.
[Jerry] The super heavyweight.
[Ross] Well, they're-- In their own minds, both the Hollys are super heavyweights.
And now Hardcore and Crash can't get on the same page
as to who's gonna take over on Faarooq.
And it looks like The Acolytes are gonna take over on Hardcore.
[Jerry] Sure does.
-Oh. -[Ross] Oh, man. Double shoulder block.
-[Jerry] Where is Crash? Oh, there he is. -[Ross] Crash up on the apron
and Holly able-- Hardcore, I should say, able to kick out there.
[Jerry] I'm telling you, that Hardcore stuff, you take out both Acolytes at once.
And look at this.
[Ross] That was on Raw,
Hardcore knows no fear.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] You gotta hand him that.
And that's a nice suplex.
The Hollys right back in this thing,
-and, uh, oh. -[Jerry] Crash.
[Ross] Crash just tagged himself in.
Crash just tagged himself in.
And now his cousin Hardcore Holly must, uh, return to the apron.
[Jerry] And I think Hardcore is a little upset about it.
[Ross] I don't think Hardcore is ready to, uh-- to be adjourned.
And now-- Well, Faarooq tossing, uh, Crash on the outside and guess who's waiting.
[Jerry] I don't know. But speaking of who, you do all your homework,
you do all your preparation, who's tougher?
You tell me. I'm putting you on the spot.
Who's tougher, Hardcore or Crash?
[Ross] Well, you know, I don't know. That's a--
-[Jerry] What? Oh, my gosh. -[Ross] Oh, here's Crash.
[Jerry] I hope you people have your VCR's going.
I just heard J.R. say, "I don't know."
[Ross] There's the cover.
Well, I couldn't be like you and just lie and make up stuff.
[Jerry] I thought you knew everything.
[Ross] Well, the tag made, I know that.
Bradshaw and Faarooq keeping, uh, Crash Holly near The Acolytes' corner.
[Jerry] Venture a guess for me, who do you think is tougher?
-[Ross] I tell you what, I've seen-- -[Jerry] Hardcore or Crash?
[Jerry] I've seen Hardcore in pretty tough situations.
There's the cover.
Yeah.
[Jerry] Yeah. But I've heard some big stories about Crash.
[Ross] I don't know that much about Crash Holly.
[Jerry] I've heard a lot about him.
[Ross] Well, he's, uh-- We're seeing how tough he is right here
because he hasn't folded his tent yet.
Now Hardcore makes a tag and tags himself back in.
-That was a blind tag. I'm not sure… -[Jerry] Look at Crash.
[Ross] …if Faarooq is aware of it until right now.
[Jerry] Now, look at Crash.
[Ross] But Crash is-- Crash not aware that he's tagged out.
And the Holly Cousins-- Oh, the Holly Cousins are fighting again.
-[Jerry] I can't believe it. -[Ross] The first time we saw them
-last week on Raw they were fighting. -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Ross] And Holly just kicked his little cousin right in the face on the outside.
And look out--look out!
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Spinebuster.
Hardcore walked right into the spinebuster,
-and The Acolytes have dominated… -[bell rings]
-[Ross] …the final two teams here. -[Howard] Here are your winners,
The Acolytes!
[Ross] And The Acolytes will meet the WWE Tag Team Champions tomorrow night on Raw
live from Iowa State University.
[Jerry] Boy, that was something. Too bad about Edge and Christian.
They had a shot at it, but you gotta give those Acolytes credit.
I don't know what you gotta give the Hollys.
[Ross] The Hollys are still arguing.
They're still fussing and feuding there in the ring.
-It'd be a little, uh-- -[Jerry] Oh. Oh, look at this.
Little anger management course for the duo.
[speaks indistinctly]
[Ross] Well, you know what, last Monday night on Raw,
they're fighting on the top of that SummerSlam, uh, 18-wheeler.
[Jerry] I think one of those Family Feud--
-[Ross] Oh, there's trouble. -[Jerry] Uh-oh, uh-oh.
[Ross] Here comes The Big Show and The Phenom.
They're looking for tag team gold here tonight.
Those two giants, those two monsters will meet X-Pac and Kane for tag team--
-[Al Snow] You have gotta calm down. -[Jerry] What?
[Al Snow] You're losing patches of fur for God's sake.
Look at this. It looks like you've got mange.
I know you're scared.
Yes, I know. I remember what Boss Man said.
Well, he said he'd get me and my little dog too, so what?
Well, he's not gonna send flying monkeys after us, big deal.
Just get a grip, all right?
I know you're scared, just calm down.
Don't be ridiculous.
It is not one of the signs of the apocalypse
when he starts quoting lines from Judy Garland.
Now, when he starts singing like Ethel Merman,
then you gotta worry, all right?
Get a grip.
-["Oh, You Didn't Know" playing] -[crowd cheering]
-[Road Dogg] Oh, you didn't know? -[Ross] Get a grip.
[Ross] Well, here comes Road Dogg.
[Road Dogg] Your ass better call somebody!
[Ross] Well, I'm not exactly sure what the Road Dogg is doing here but.
-You damn right. -[Ross] It's always good to see him.
Well, folks, what do you think about a guy…
It's me, it's me.
It's the D-O-G-G.
["Oh, You Didn't Know" continues playing]
[crowd cheering]
Cut the music.
There…
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Nice pajamas, huh?
There are two people back there right now thanking God that pencils have erasers
because somehow, someway I got figured out of this Hardcore title match.
-[crowd cheering] -[crowd booing]
[Jerry] He didn't bother to dress for the occasion.
Well, it goes like this.
Tomorrow night, gentleman, this goes to the winner,
I sure hate to trouble you, but tomorrow night,
I'm gonna get my belt back on that R-A-W.
[crowd cheering]
["Break the Walls Down" playing]
[Ross] Oh, man.
[Jerry] What?
[Ross] Look who's-- It's Jericho.
-[Jerry] How did you know? -[Ross] Well, look at Y2J.
[Jerry laughs] Right.
Finally.
Jericho is coming to save SummerSlam.
[Ross] He's coming to interrupt the Road Dogg, it looks to me like.
[Jerry] Maybe to bring Road Dogg a pair of pants.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Wow.
♪ You know I got ya, yeah ♪
♪ One, break the wall down ♪
[Ross] I just wonder who in the hell this young man thinks he is, Chris Jericho.
♪ Baby, what I got is not from the least ♪
♪ Bring it from the stage In the rage of the beast ♪
♪ Step in the arena And break the wall down ♪
[Jericho] I am the Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla.
[crowd cheering]
["Break the Walls Down" continues playing]
♪ I'm awaken from a deep sleep, You're all weak ♪
♪ You're livin' in the agony of defeat ♪
♪ I am the master ♪
Well, considering this is supposed to be
a monumental occasion,
being that it's Y2J's first
WWE Pay-Per-View appearance.
[crowd cheering]
I gotta be honest with you, I'm disappointed.
I mean, I didn't think it was possible for the WWE to top
the tediousness of Raw is snore,
but they have done so with this ridiculous rip-off
of a Pay-Per-View that I call SummerSham.
[crowd booing]
And the worst thing of all is you people got conned into wasting your money,
and now you all look like a bunch of fools.
[crowd cheering]
I mean, look at the boring list of matches,
featuring a bunch of useless performers,
the worst of which is standing in the ring right now.
[crowd booing]
[Jericho] I mean, Road Dogg, don't you get it?
Don't you understand, nobody cares about you?
[crowd booing]
I mean, listen to this
embarrassingly silent reaction
that these people are giving you right now.
[crowd cheering]
I mean--
Thank you, thank you.
I mean, you think you can come out here
and impress people by spelling your name,
R-O-A-D D-O-G-G.
You wanna impress me?
Spell lugubrious.
I mean, if kicking in doggie style
means wearing stupid clothing, and sporting a Stevie Wonder hairstyle,
well, you can count me out, Daddy-O.
[crowd cheering]
And what these people probably don't realize
is that you're probably dyslexic,
and when you say suck it, you're really trying to say, it sucks,
because one thing is for sure, D-Generation X sure sucks.
[crowd booing]
And the Road Dogg most definitely sucks.
[crowd booing]
[Jericho] And now that Y2J
has come to save the WWE,
you and all the dweebs in the locker room,
will never, ever bore these people again.
[crowd cheering]
Hey, why don't you shut up, bitch?
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Jerry] Wait a minute.
[cheering continues]
By the way, my momma cares about me, boy.
You know, I'm almost scared to say this
because I'm scared you might take me up on it,
but I got two words for you…
[crowd chanting] Suck it!
["Oh, You Didn't Know" playing]
[Ross] I tell you what, the Road Dogg firing right back at Y2J.
Your ass better call somebody!
["Oh, You Didn't Know" continues playing]
[Ross] Jericho's got a lot of audacity.
[Jerry] Yeah, but I think-- I think somebody killed Jericho's mic,
that's not exactly fair.
Hey, Road-- Hey, have a-- Have a seat there, Road Dogg.
What are you doing?
I'm doing commentary on this match.
-Are you gonna do-- -Can I put this on?
-I guess, if you're gonna do a commentary. -Will it fit over my weave?
Will it fit over my weave?
I don't know if it will fit over your weave or not.
You got more extensions than AT&T.
If you use that one more time, I'm punching you.
Oh, no.
-[Ross] I tell you what-- -I'm just kidding, I won't punch you.
[Ross] You put a Y2J displacer, Road Dogg.
Y2J.
You know what, I don't have a computer,
so Y2K and Y2J don't mean a damn thing to me.
All right, fine. We went over this a hundred times, you're scared, great.
You just stay back here then.
But remember, Head went with me to the ring.
[Jerry] What is that?
[Al Snow] What does everybody want?
[Road Dogg] Head.
[crowd chanting] Head.
[Ross] Al Snow leaving Pepper out of the harm's way apparently.
["Scurry" playing]
[Al Snow] What does everybody need?
[crowd chanting] Head.
[Road Dogg] Head.
Do I keep saying that?
[Jerry] I-- Is that you that keep saying "Head"?
[Road Dogg] And I thought it was the people.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] So the Road Dogg
-has laid down the challenge -[bell ringing]
[Road Dogg] The winner of this match,
I see what's going on right now, Jumbo Jim.
Look what's going on.
[Howard] Introducing the challenger…
-[Ross] He's a-- Where's Pepper? -[Howard] …from Lima, Ohio,
weighing 246 pounds
[Ross] I don't even know if he's got the salt.
-[Howard] Al Snow. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Road Dogg] He better bring Queen Latifah.
[Jerry] I think he's got Pepper back in the puppy pound back there somewhere.
-[Road Dogg chuckles] -[Jerry] It's a good place for a--
that's a peeing-ist dog I have ever been around.
["Cell Block" playing]
-[Ross] You still smell like urine. -[Road Dogg] Hey, I know what--
I'm not gonna stand for this.
I mean, I'm not gonna sit for it, wait a minute, what do I mean?
-[Jerry] I don't know. -[Ross] Wait a minute, look out, look out.
[Road Dogg] I'm out of here.
[Jerry] Where are you going?
[bell ringing]
[Ross] Road Dogg leaving us.
[Jerry] He didn't stay long, he wore out his welcome though.
[Ross] Well, the Hardcore title on the line here,
and the Road Dogg has…
[Road Dogg] It looks like Al Snow-- Oh, Lord.
-[Ross] I guess, Road Dogg-- -[Road Dogg] He's gonna show-- Oh.
Oh, showed him to his seat.
[Jerry] Wait a minute, is he doing commentary?
-[Ross] Sounds like it. -J.R.,
you and King call it from back there,
"The Roving" Road Dogg is gonna get in on some of this.
[Jerry] "The Roving" Road Dogg?
[Ross] Well, I tell you what,
that's what you call on the spot reporting.
[Road Dogg] Look at this big stick I found.
-[Jerry laughs] -[Road Dogg] Oh.
[Ross] Hardcore title on the line here, the Big Boss Man, the champion.
[Road Dogg] That was fake.
[Ross] Defending against Al Snow,
and remember, this is a No Holds Barred matchup for the Hardcore title.
[Road Dogg] Maybe I'm the lucky one that I'm not in this match.
-[Ross] Pinfalls count anywhere. -I'm in this, Al.
[Road Dogg] Oh.
King, are you seeing this?
[Jerry] I'm seeing it.
Can you hear us?
[Ross] Hard right hands by The Boss Man
in the kidneys and in the jaw.
[Jerry] Watch yourself, Pepper.
Oh.
[Ross] Boss Man, he can legally use anything…
-[Road Dogg] He's got the dog. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
-[Ross] …that's not nailed down. -[Boss Man] Hey, this is Pepper?
-[Ross] Uh-oh. -[Jerry] He got Pepper.
[Ross] Pepper is in that little cage, come on, Boss Man.
[Road Dogg] I guess the dog peed himself right there, King.
[Jerry] I guarantee it.
[Road Dogg] Oh, Lord.
[Jerry] Did he drop Pepper?
[Ross] I think The Boss Man just tossed Pepper aside
in that-- In that-- That doggie thing, that doggie case.
-[Jerry] Oh, oh, no. -[Ross] Oh, man.
[Road Dogg] Jim, you stay in between me and them.
[Ross] Out there on the concrete, well, that doesn't--
-That's an unforgiving surface. -I feel much better now.
[Road Dogg] Here they go.
-[Ross] Oh. Somebody got-- -[Road Dogg] Oh.
-[Jerry] Watch it, oh. -[Road Dogg] Bless that boys heart.
-He's hobbling. -[Jerry laughs]
-Oh, man, look at that crutch-- -[Road Dogg] Now, Al is hobbling.
[Ross] Boss Man grabbed that crutch from that man.
[Road Dogg] They're fighting like hell, King.
-I'm glad I ain't in this. -[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
[Ross] Boss Man at 300 plus, the Hardcore Champion.
[Jerry] Uh-oh, watch yourself. Oh, man.
[Ross] Al Snow just able to move out of the way.
[Road Dogg] Gonna cost Vince some money.
[Ross] Oh.
[Road Dogg] Or Big Boss Man.
Ooh, I'm out of the way.
[Ross] Road Dogg, former Hardcore Champion,
back in the back, giving us in bird's eye view commentary.
-[Jerry] Where is he? I don't see the guy. -[Road Dogg] Danger, broken glass.
[crowd chanting] Al Snow! Al Snow!
[Jerry] Oh, my God. Watch yourself.
-[Ross] Well, I'll tell you what this-- -[Jerry] There's glass all over the place.
-[Ross] This a dangerous-- -[Jerry] They picked up some guy's crutch.
[Ross] Dangerous environment here I'll tell you.
And The Boss Man with the force of that, shook that vehicle.
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Road Dogg] He's going outdoors.
[Ross] Somebody raising the-- Raising the door
and these two men are raising the roof here.
[Road Dogg] No stranger to fighting outside with Al Snow.
[Ross] For the Hardcore title.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] Still daylight here in Minneapolis,
and The Boss Man defending the Hardcore Title outside.
[Road Dogg] Oh, my God.
Somebody stop traffic, please.
Is the referee here for the match or to stop traffic?
-[Jerry] Look out. -[Ross] Oh, man.
-Boss Man ramming Snow's face -[Road Dogg] And there they go.
-[Ross] right on that detour sign. -[Jerry] Watch it.
[Road Dogg] King, y'all still with us?
[Jerry] Look both ways before you cross the-- What is this now?
[Road Dogg] I'm gonna stop in for a cold one.
[Ross] Our cameraman trying…
[Jerry] Where is he…
[Ross] Broken another camera to go try to document this insanity.
[Jerry] I feel like I'm watching that Blair Witch movie.
[Road Dogg] Oh.
[Ross] Snow and The Boss Man fought across the street from the Target Center.
[Road Dogg] Al Snow is definitely no stranger to--
-[Ross] There's a cover. -[Road Dogg] One, two-- Oh.
-[Jerry] There's the Road Dogg. -[Road Dogg] Hey.
[Ross] Boss Man meeting Al Snow with a right hand, coming up.
[Road Dogg] There we go. As the drunk said, "Give it to him."
-I know what he's talking about. -[Jerry] Look at this.
[Road Dogg] Oh.
[Jerry] This place is like Blues Alley.
[Ross] That's gonna interrupt somebody's little…
[Road Dogg] Vince is losing money left and right here, King.
-[Ross] …little twilight happy hour. -[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
[Road Dogg] Oh.
How did that feel, boy?
[Ross] Boss Man, this is a--
Grab them back.
-[Ross] On the concrete -[Road Dogg] One, two-- No.
-Two. Two, right there. -One, two, three, genius.
[Ross] Snow able to get his shoulder up.
Man, this is-- Talk about career shortening.
-[Road Dogg] Oh. We're going indoors. -[Ross] Now--
-[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. -[Road Dogg] Oh.
[Jerry] You better get them out of there, Teddy.
Look at this guy.
[Teddy] Out the way.
[man] What's up?
[Ross] Well, the Big Boss Man and Al Snow
[Jerry] The yellow pages?
[Ross] in one of the local establishments across the street
from the Target Center here.
-The Hardcore title on the line. -[Jerry] Watch it, watch it, watch it.
[Road Dogg] King, we're in the bar.
[Jerry] This--
[Road Dogg] I just ordered a double shot of Jack.
-[Jerry] Well, there's bunch for you. -[Ross] Huge right hand.
-[Jerry] Oh, look at this. -[Road Dogg] Al's trying to pick up on a--
-Never mind. -[Ross] God heavens.
I guess it's-- I guess it's ladies' night, who knows. Well, maybe not.
[Road Dogg] He's glad-handing.
We've already got a governor here in this State, Al.
Worry about the Big Boss Man.
-[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. Oh. -[Road Dogg] Vince--
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Wow.
[Road Dogg] Vince is gonna be broke by the end of this.
[Ross] Commentary by the Road Dogg, who's on the scene.
[Road Dogg] Watch out, camera people.
[crowd chanting] Head! Head! Head!
[Road Dogg] These people are wanting Head.
[Jerry] Can you imagine just going out to have a quiet dinner.
[Road Dogg] These people are wanting Head.
They're fighting back.
Here they go now-- And oh, broomstick.
Oh, God all mighty. Oh.
[Jerry] They're back at the manager's office.
Now the restrooms.
[Road Dogg] They're going to the bathroom.
[Ross] Oh, Boss Man and Al Snow are going to-- At least it's the men's room.
[Jerry] Thank goodness.
[Road Dogg] King, are you with us?
-Jim Ross? -[Ross] Over here.
[Road Dogg] I ordered you a double, too, Jim.
[Ross] Thank you.
[Jerry] I think Al wants to freshen up in there a little bit. What's he got?
[Ross] Oh, that one--
[Jerry] Oh, that's one of those things out of a urinal. Ugh.
[Ross] It's a urine cake.
[Jerry] Ugh.
[Ross] Oh, listen, the Boss Man just ramming Al Snow's head
-against the wall. -[Boss Man] You like that?
[Jerry] That was cool.
[Road Dogg] I am glad I'm not in this one, King.
[Ross] Road Dogg has challenged the winner of this match.
[Road Dogg] Here we go.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] Another right hand by The Boss Man,
and Al Snow with the heel of his hand, coming right back.
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Road Dogg] Beer bottle.
-I'm not paying for that one. -[Jerry] What is this?
[Ross] Al Snow has got a chain now.
Getting The Boss Man right in the face with that chain, as Al Snow now--
[Road Dogg] Who's that gave him in a chain?
[Jerry] I don't know.
[Road Dogg] Get in there, referee.
Get in there, ref.
[Ross] Al Snow trying to choke The Boss Man out,
The Boss Man is a Hardcore Champion.
[Road Dogg] He's-- oh, boy.
[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] And Snow now on top of the bar -[Road Dogg] Here we go.
-[Jerry] Look out, look out. -[Ross] It's Al Snow with a moonsault slam
at the bar right through the front table.
[Road Dogg] Oh, my God.
[Ross] Man, this is some carnage.
Look at The Boss Man with a smile on his face,
The Boss Man is bleeding.
[Road Dogg] That beer bottle did a little number on Big Boss Man's noodle,
says that D-O-G-G, the poodle.
-Oh, oh. -[Ross] Boss Man--
[Road Dogg] I'm getting here in the thick of things.
[Ross] Boss Man bleeding from the arm and the head.
-[Road Dogg] Oh. -[Jerry] J.R., I thought we were out of--
[Road Dogg] They're still fighting like hell.
[Jerry] I thought we were-- Oh, not the-- Not the pool hall.
[Ross] That's gonna interrupt somebody's nine ball game.
-And The Boss Man broke a beer bottle… -[Road Dogg] Hey.
[Ross] …over Al Snow.
Oh, The Boss--
Oh, the Road Dogg just nailed The Boss Man.
[Road Dogg] Hey, I just wanted to buy the guy a drink.
[Jerry] Did you see that?
[Road Dogg] I just wanted to buy the guy a drink.
Oh, no.
Now, Al's got his balls in his hand.
-[Ross] Here's a cover. -[Road Dogg] Two, three.
-[Ross] And the Road Dogg with his help -[bell ringing]
[Ross] Al Snow is the Hardcore Champion again.
-[Road Dogg] King? -[Jerry] What?
-[Road Dogg] King, J.R.? -[Ross] Yeah?
[Howard] Hardcore Champion, Al Snow.
[Ross] Well, the Road Dogg used The Boss Man's own nightstick
-for an unlikely assist for Al Snow -[Jerry] Look out.
-[Ross] the Prince of Hardcore. -[Road Dogg] King, J.R.,
now all of a sudden, he's worried about that damn dog.
He's got me running like a bat out of hell trying to catch him.
["Scurry" playing]
-[Jerry] Hey, what's this? -[Road Dogg] What's now?
[Ross] That's Stevie Richards and The Blue Meanie
now being assaulted by Al Snow.
-[Road Dogg] Please don't. -[Jerry] For what?
[Ross] The Blue Meanie and Stevie Richards--
[Road Dogg] To tell you the truth, I hope they kill each other.
Tomorrow night on Raw, I'm winning my Hardcore title back.
[Jerry] What were The Blue Meanie and Stevie Richards doing with Pepper?
[Ross] Who knows?
[Road Dogg] Just don't be busy tomorrow evening.
-[Ross] Al Snow is-- -[Jerry] Look out.
[Ross] Once again the reigning Prince of Hardcore.
[Road Dogg] Oh.
[Ross] Using that crutch again.
-[Road Dogg] There's a broken glass. -[Ross] And I…
-[Jerry] He-- -[Ross] Poor guy.
[Road Dogg] Bless the kid's heart. He doesn't have leg to stand on.
[Jerry] Oh, watch it. Oh.
[Road Dogg] That's the sound of grass--
You know, grass or glass breaking, you know.
[Ross] Al Snow using that crutch again on Stevie Richards and The Blue Meanie.
-[Road Dogg] He won the match. -[Jerry] Where's Road Dogg?
[Ross] After regaining the Hardcore title.
But what was--
The question of the hour is what was Stevie Richards and The Blue Meanie--
Did they have Pepper in their hands?
And bottom line, Al Core--
Al Snow is the new Hardcore Champion.
How are you doing?
Good. Mankind, look, I wanna tell you tonight.
I know your style. I know how you wrestle.
You'd take it anywhere, you do anything, you can do all of that.
But the pinfall's got to happen in the middle of the ring,
you hit somebody with a chair, anything like that
-No, no. -I'm not counting out it.
-Let me ask you-- Let me ask you this. -I'm not-- Are we clear?
-All right. -Let me ask you this.
Don't you think that Geraldine Ferraro was vastly underrated as a candidate?
She might have been
but she's a bleeding-heart liberal, you know, come on.
[Ross] You're looking at the Target Center.
We are sold out, been sold out for weeks.
Certainly SummerSlam has been an unbelievable extravaganza thus far,
and we're been seeing all over Europe on Sky, in Aruba, South Africa,
and all, of course, throughout North America as well.
We thank you very much for again, inviting us in your home here
for World Wrestling Entertainment Pay-Per-View action.
[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] Check that out, J.R. -[Ross] Yeah.
[Jerry] Lion's Den.
[Ross] This could get ugly in there, that's still to come. The Lion's Den
[Jerry] Look at those weapons hanging there.
[Ross] Weapons match, Shamrock and Blackman,
one-on-one, in that environment.
We know titles on the line, but a heck of a lot of pride
for Shamrock and Blackman here tonight.
["Precious" playing]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following contest scheduled for one fall
is for the World Wrestling Entertainment Women's Championship.
Introducing first, the reigning Women's Champion,
Ivory.
[Ross] Ivory is a real spitfire.
Just got back from a promotional tour in the United Kingdom.
But two weeks ago, ladies and gentlemen, on Heat,
we saw Ivory's true colors, King,
when she attacked Tori from behind,
and then, with some humiliating actions,
spray painted some very disparaging words all over Tori.
[Jerry] First of all, it's not spray paint,
I think it was shoe polish.
And read that word, J.R.
[Ross] "Slut."
[Jerry] And "Skank."
I can't believe she wrote "Skank" on her back.
[Ross] It is funny, isn't it?
We'll spell it for you, right?
[Jerry laughs] Skank.
[Ross] Ivory, the WWE Women's Champion.
["Full Out" playing]
[Ross] She's about to put the gold on the line.
[Howard] Her opponent, and challenger…
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Howard] Tori.
[Ross] So here comes Tori.
Not wasting any time, and here we go.
-[bell ringing] -[Ross] Ivory.
Ivory and Tori, this will probably not be your classic scientific matchup.
And nice powerslam by Tori, and Ivory kicked-out.
We've already got a new Hardcore Champion tonight in Al Snow.
[Jerry] Well, I-- Listen, I just got an update on Pepper.
Good news for you J.R.,
apparently Pepper was not in that little puppy carrier
when Big Boss Man threw it across the back of the arena there.
Because I just heard that Pepper now is celebrating with Al Snow in the back,
they're just back there talking to each other.
-[Ross] Well, that's-- -[Jerry] Talking to each other?
-[Ross] Yeah, that's-- -[Jerry] Well, I just got told.
[Ross] That could be an interesting conversation.
-[Jerry] Yeah. -[Ross] Hangman by Ivory.
Ivory and Tori, competing here for the WWE Women's title.
[crowd chatter]
-[Ross] Irish whip far side. -[Jerry] Oh.
-[Ross] And Ivory with the elbow. -One.
[Ross] There's a cover and another near fall there.
Perhaps still buzzing over that very unusual
and bizarre Hardcore matchup that,
I guess, very unique commentary, too, from the Road Dogg,
he was all over the scene and--
So I guess that means that the Road Dogg, tomorrow night on Raw
will take on Al Snow for the Hardcore title, I'm assuming.
[Jerry] Well, that was all over the entire neighborhood out here tonight.
I can't wait until tomorrow night.
[Ross] A couple of nice suplexes there by Tori.
-19,404 here with us tonight… -[Jerry] Whoa.
Ow, watch the puppies.
[Ross] …here in the Target Center.
And after the dropkick, we got a cover.
And Ivory fighting like heck to get those shoulders off the canvas.
-It was three. -Just two.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] King, who's you're favorite here?
[Jerry] Well, I just got a-- Right now, I got my money on Ivory.
I mean, she's just no nonsense, she's all this, uh, you know,
she's take-no-prisoner type champion.
[Ross] Tori is thinking about moving to Memphis so she
could vote for you, does that change your mind?
[Jerry] And the good thing, I like-- I like about Ivory
on occasion, she'll give people just sitting at ringside,
a chance to get in the ring and try their skills.
[Ross] We have seen that.
And those folks that have volunteered have not been too successful.
There's a-- Almost a snapmare takeover only using the hair.
[Jerry] I mean, that's like going to a football game
and getting invited out on the field and try to throw a pass or something.
Ivory break it off. Break it now. One, two.
[Ross] Ivory choking Tori here on the second rope.
Referee Tim White has got his hands full here
communicating with these two ladies,
-they haven't listened very closely. -Get off, get off, get off. One.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Down goes Ivory-- Or Tori, again, excuse me.
Leg drop by the champion.
Are you ready for the big swing?
-[Jerry] Ready for what? -[Ross] I don't know what she said.
I'll tell you, Ivory is a very confident young woman.
-Oh, look at this. -[Jerry] Oh, the big swing.
-[Ross] Giant swing. -[Jerry] I like it. Oh.
[Ross] Not that many revolutions, but may get the job done here.
One, two and a near fall.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] A little chop.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] And Tori, almost an Edge-like Spear on Ivory
taking the WWE Women's Champion down.
And another knife edge chop by the challenger.
[Jerry] Wait a minute. Did you say Edge-like?
[Ross] Edge-like.
[Jerry] What's wrong with your eyes?
What's wrong with your vision, J.R., if you call that Edge-like?
-[Ross] Was it-- -[Jerry] Hey?
[Ross] Oh, look out. Oh, man, what a move that was.
[Jerry] That's always my favorite move.
[Ross] What do you call that then, King, your favorite?
[Jerry] Yeah. That's called "my favorite move".
What would you call, you do all the research.
Oh.
[Ross] Nice crossbody off the second rope.
That could be-- And it's not enough.
[Jerry] That's what she said.
Uh-oh.
-[Ross] Sunset flip. -[Jerry] No.
[Ross] But Ivory just refuses to stay down.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] Ivory is a feisty champion.
-[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. -[Ross] A spitfire.
Another attempted sunset flip there.
And Ivory sat right down on Tori.
The air went right out of Tori
-and that's it. -[bell ringing]
[Jerry] I guess.
[Howard] The winner of this bout, and still Women's Champion, Ivory.
-[Jerry] Oh, look at this. -[Ross] Oh, my goodness.
[Jerry] What the--
-now we're getting at it. -[Ross] Ivory--
Ivory trying to disrobe Tori.
[Jerry] She is.
[Ross] Ivory is trying to tear off Tori's apparel.
[Jerry] Get out of the way, referee.
[Ross] That's not called for.
[Jerry] I'll call for it.
[Ross] What the hell is that?
That's Luna.
[Jerry] What is that?
[Ross] Luna.
Luna.
Luna, where did she come from?
[Jerry] And why? Why?
[Ross] Ivory is running for her life from Luna.
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Ross] And Tori almost got disrobed.
[Jerry] Rats.
-You and-- -Hey, hey, Jabroni.
The Rock says, know your role and shut your mouth.
You showed absolutely no class
when you interrupted The Great One out there
talking to his number one fan, John Randle.
How about The Rock interview you?
How about that, Jabroni?
How about an interview with The Great One?
You're going one-on-one with The Great One.
The Rock has-- Yeah. Nice tie, 13 cents.
Don't look at the tie, look at The Rock.
The Rock says this, he sees the way you look at The Rock.
For the past three years, The Rock just wants to know this,
are you a little cumsi cumsa?
-No. -It doesn't matter
if you are cumsi or cumsa or not.
The fact of the matter is this.
Is that it is Sunday, SummerSlam and it's game day.
So The Rock says this,
you think that he cares about Billy Gunn surprises.
The Rock says it's gonna be no surprise.
In approximately 45 minutes,
you're gonna hear The Rock's music.
"Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?"
And every single Rock fan is gonna stand on their feet.
Electricity running through their body and you can hear them now.
Shut your mouth and listen. Rocky, Rocky.
[crowd chanting] Rocky, Rocky, Rocky!
And when it's all said and done, all the smoke is cleared,
all the dust has settled, the millions…
[crowd chanting] And millions.
Of The Rock's fans are through chanting his name.
Two things, Rock Bottom, wham.
One, People's Elbow, wham, The Rock going on.
Still, the People's Champ, still the People's Choice.
If you smell what The Rock…
[crowd] Is cooking!
Is cooking?
And this is gonna be so good.
[Ross] What the hell is that?
Big surprise tonight.
-[Jerry] What's he doing? -Everyone, there's millions
and millions of people out there just waiting to see who you are.
This is gonna be so cool.
-[rock music playing] -[Ross] It looked like--
whoever that was, was coming to the kitchen.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next is the Lion's Den, King.
[Jerry] I can't wait, J.R.
They're ready for it.
[Ross] For weeks, we've seen the tension between Steve Blackman
and Ken Shamrock build to a fever pitch.
[Jerry] When The Lethal Weapon return to the WWE,
Blackman made Ken Shamrock his target.
Inflicting internal injuries about, The World's Most Dangerous Man
with savage attacks.
Even intentionally driving a car into Shamrock.
[Ross] But Shamrock has had his moments in the driver seat as well.
Getting the best of The Lethal Weapon on several occasions.
[Jerry] The result of this ongoing feud was a challenge
issued to Ken Shamrock by Steve Blackman
for a Lion's Den Weapons match at SummerSlam.
[Ross] Tonight, the battle lines are drawn in Shamrock's domain, the Lion's Den.
The weapons have been chosen by the most lethal man himself, Steve Blackman.
Tonight, this chaotic and raging feud will end in a Lion's Den Weapons match.
["Drums in the Night" playing]
[Ross] This should be something ladies and gentlemen,
a matchup not for the weak at heart.
[Jerry] No.
[Ross] Inside Shamrock's domain,
the Lion's Den with Blackman's weapons attached to that cage.
And here comes "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman.
[Jerry] It's gonna be two men, in but only one man is gonna come out of there, J.R.
[Ross] Very simple rules.
Two men will enter,
only one man will be able to walk out of the Lion's Den cage
when this weapons match concludes here tonight.
["The Ultimate" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] Introducing from San Diego, California
weighing 235 pounds,
"The World's Most Dangerous Man"
Ken Shamrock.
[Jerry] It looks like Blackman's already got those nunchucks
immediately tucked in the-- Into his trousers there.
-Did you see that? -[Ross] I saw it.
I wonder if Shamrock's aware of it.
Shamrock, the most feared,
the most renowned mixed martial arts fighter in the world today.
[Jerry] And that's just hand-to-hand stuff, J.R.
We're gonna see if he knows anything about weaponry.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] And what must it feel like to step in this environment
and shut that steel door behind you?
The referee will be on top
-of the Lion's Den cage. -[bell ringing]
[Ross] No pinfalls, no submissions.
[Jerry] So Shamrock has done-- Uh-oh, look at this.
[Ross] And weapons are legal.
[Jerry] Shamrock's been in this Lion's Den before
but never with a bunch of weapons, here we go.
-Oh, man. -[Ross] Did you hear that? Right on--
[Jerry] Just did the nunchucks, right there.
[Ross] And right on Shamrock's face this time.
First it was the knee and then the face.
And now, Blackman, who could beat ya in a lot of ways.
And hurt ya in a lot of ways including his knee--
Oh, acolytes takedown by Shamrock.
And Shamrock, gonna try to hyperextend that knee on the early going here.
The object of the match is to incapacitate your opponent
and be able to walk out the door.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] You gotta--
Now Shamrock has got the nunchucks.
We'll find out--
-Shamrock is going-- -[Jerry] Wow.
[Ross] Oh, nice leg sweep by Blackman.
And the nunchucks go flying.
Shamrock, who does have experience with these type of weapons as well.
Maybe not as extensive as Blackman,
but Shamrock is no stranger to these weapons
tied to the Lion's Den cage.
[Jerry] And did you see how quick Blackman was there
when he went behind and took the legs out from under Shamrock.
[Ross] That maybe one of the quickest guys I've ever seen in this business.
Nice takedown by-- And then Shamrock gonna--
Shamrock gonna hyperextend that arm and rip that elbow.
[Jerry] Oh, he's got the nunchucks.
[Ross] Blackman now blocking the extension of the-- Of his arm.
And now Shamrock with the advantage.
And Shamrock just tossed the nunchucks out of the ring.
They're not gonna be a factor,
the rest of this matchup…
[Jerry] I told you Shamrock wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Got a weapon in his hand, he throws it out.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] Shamrock, who was ran over by an automobile
driven by Steve Blackman a few weeks ago,
-we saw that on Raw. -[Jerry] Now, wait a minute.
That was an accident.
[Ross] Well, that's your version of the story.
I don't choose to believe that.
[Jerry] Have you not ever accidentally backed into something?
[Ross] Not a human being, no, as a matter of fact.
I hope that I never do.
Shamrock has some payback here.
And Shamrock taking his time now
with the-- A man some call "Silent Assassin" Steve Blackman.
He doesn't do a lot of talking.
He does his talking with his hands and his feet.
That's Blackman-- A right hand by Shamrock.
[Jerry] He's not doing too much talking right now
but Blackman needs to start speaking with those weapons.
[Ross] Hard kick to the side of the head by Ken Shamrock
and down went Blackman.
[Jerry] You're gonna have to climb up the side of that Lion's Den
to get the weapon of your choice.
And here goes Shamrock.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] What's he going after, J.R.?
[Ross] I can't see.
-Something up the-- Oh. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
-[Ross] What is that? -[Jerry] I don't know.
I thought there was a guillotine or something up there.
[Ross] A kendo stick maybe or I guess a…
[Jerry] Wow.
[Ross] Some stick.
I'll tell you what, that--
-[Jerry] That's one of those canes. -[Ross] What a shot.
[Jerry] That's one of those canes you get caned with.
[Ross] Blackman-- Black-- Blackman blocked the darn thing
with his forearm, I think, and his elbow,
much to the surprise of all of us.
And now Blackman--
[Jerry] Cane him, cane him.
[Ross] Getting right back on the-- On the attack here.
Being very, very aggressive.
Oh, that cage is not gonna give much.
[Jerry] Cane him, cane him.
[Ross] That is a tough fighting surface folks, I'll tell you.
There's no give in that chain link fence.
I guess, I could think of better places to compete.
Blackman maybe have been hurt in the atomic drop.
[Jerry] He may have fractured his forearm there
when he blocked that cane.
[Ross] And Blackman driving his knee into the groin area of Blackman.
And now more weapons by…
[Jerry] What's he gonna do?
[Ross] I think the weapons certainly living up to his billing here.
Look at those--
[Jerry] Is there some kind of technical official term for those, J.R.?
[Ross] I'm so sure there are, King.
I'm sure there is. I apologize not knowing that.
It looks-- In Oklahoma we call them sticks.
[Jerry] I'd call those the ugly sticks.
Because after you get finished using them on your opponent,
your opponent's really ugly.
[Ross] And Blackman has got a-- He has got a dark heart.
There's no doubt about that.
Beating Shamrock down and not too many guys
can say they'd ever done that in any environment.
And Shamrock being choked.
Blackman may choke Shamrock out,
which would allow Blackman the opportunity to open that door
and walk out and touch the floor, this match would be over.
[crowd chanting] Shamrock, Shamrock, Shamrock, Shamrock.
[Ross] This crowd of 19,404 getting behind
"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock.
-And Shamrock-- -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Oh, what a great athletic move by Shamrock.
Shamrock climbed the cage,
got some elevation and delivered a blow
that got Shamrock right back in the game.
[Jerry] Blackman maybe out there. He's-- No. He's up.
[Ross] Remember, no pinfalls here, no submissions.
[Jerry] Are there any more weapons?
[crowd chatter]
-[Ross] Blackman-- -[Jerry] Must be.
[Ross] Shamrock with a shot right to the kidneys.
And that'll change your attitude in a day or two.
A suplex by Shamrock,
dropping Blackman right on Blackman-- The back of Blackman's head.
And The Lethal Weapon now, he's getting his oil checked.
You know, these two guys, you had to believe that
it had to come to something like this
for these two men to settle their issue.
[Jerry] Just because they hate each other with a passion?
-[Ross] Oh, Blackman, DDT. -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Ross] Shamrock down, so is The Lethal Weapon.
[Jerry] Get that cane over there and use it on him, Blackman.
[Ross] Blackman sees that-- Sees that weapon.
I guess, he's got his eye on something else.
[Jerry] I guess, he's trying to prove he's gonna beat Shamrock
in his own game here.
[Ross] Shamrock with those kicks to the quadriceps
trying to knot up that thigh muscles as Ken Shamrock and--
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Ken Shamrock with a powerslam.
Blackman bounced off that steel cage.
And Shamrock caught Blackman
and powerslammed The Lethal Weapon into oblivion.
But look at Blackman with that roundhouse,
so is Shamrock.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] Nice move there.
Enzuigiri type maneuver by Blackman. And down went Shamrock.
[Jerry] There's something up there that Blackman keeps looking at.
There's something up there he wants.
[Ross] It's a kendo stick.
[Jerry] He's gonna put him away. There it is, the kendo stick.
He's gonna finish off Shamrock with a kendo stick.
[Ross] You saw Blackman use this on Shamrock last week on Raw.
We saw Shane McMahon use a similar stick on Test.
[Jerry] Right in the head. Here he comes.
Neck, throat.
-That's it. -[Ross] Minnesota Twin Kirby Puckett
didn't intend attend this tonight with his family to swing a bat.
I don't know if he could swing any better than Shamrock here-- Or excuse me,
Blackman swinging that kendo stick.
[Jerry] Come on, get on him, Blackman.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] Blackman talking about unsharp knives.
[Jerry] I don't know what's wrong with him.
Get on him.
[Ross] Blackman, looking at him, aiming for the head.
-[Jerry] He's measured him off. -[Ross] Sure is.
[Jerry] Taking that one shot. There it is.
[Ross] Oh, man.
[Jerry] Talk about Kirby Puckett that one.
Going, going, gone, J.R.
[Ross] Blackman-- Blackman's gonna win this thing here.
I don't think Shamrock's gonna be able to get back in this.
All Blackman's gotta do is request that the door be opened and step outside
and Blackman could be your winner right now.
[Jerry] Wait a minute. The referee is telling no.
He's not gonna open the door. What's the deal?
[crowd chanting] Blackman sucks! Blackman sucks!
[Ross] Maybe Blackman said, "I don't want the door open.
I wanna punish Shamrock some more."
[crowd chanting] Blackman sucks! Blackman sucks!
[Ross] Shamrock back up.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] Blackman couldn't connect there.
Oh, man.
And Blackman went for the ride on a belly-to-belly suplex.
Shamrock reaching to his catch-as-catch-can bag of tricks.
Catching Blackman with a belly-to-belly suplex.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] And Shamrock getting that adrenaline rush.
[Jerry] Snapping.
[Ross] Oh, Shamrock has got the kendo stick.
Man, look at Shamrock.
Shamrock is gonna try to wear Blackman out here.
[Jerry] I was afraid of this, J.R.
[Ross] This is nothing but pure retribution.
And Blackman measured-- got measured with that kendo stick.
And Shamrock just-- You talk about nailing somebody
with a stiff shot to the head.
[Jerry] Look at that look in his eye.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Shamrock has got a killer instinct.
For that matter, so does Blackman, in my view,
but right now, Shamrock's got the weapon.
And remember, it was Blackman's idea to bring the weapons into the game.
And Blackman is down.
Blackman is down, he's unconscious.
[Jerry] It's not a pretty sight, is it?
[Ross] And Shamrock has got this match won now.
Shamrock has turned it around
with a use of one of Blackman's weapons.
[bell ringing]
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] And Shamrock leaving the cage.
Shamrock has won this Lion's Den Weapons match.
["The Ultimate" playing]
[Howard] Here's your winner, "The World's Most Dangerous Man"
Ken Shamrock.
[Ross] Shamrock will never back down,
but he will knock you down.
And normally when he does, King, ya stay down.
[Jerry] I can't believe it. Look at Blackman.
He's got his lights turned out with the kendo stick.
[Ross] Blackman is still unconscious.
Thanks to Ken Shamrock.
Earlier tonight on Heat,
Shane McMahon, Test's opponent launched a preemptive strike
in hoping to solidify his hopes of defeating--
we'll take you back to earlier tonight and we'll see how Shane went after Test,
going after the injured ribcage once again.
[Shane] Shut your mouth, Kevin.
-[Kevin] Shane McMahon's plans tonight… -You got that!
[Kevin] …to end the relationship
between Test and Stephanie McMahon simply by winning-- Oh, wait a minute.
Here's Test. Test, you're heading to the ring…
Talking time's over.
[Ross] Oh, this is personal. It's damn personal.
["This Is A Test" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following contest scheduled for one fall,
it's the Greenwich Street Fight.
Introducing first, weighing 275 pounds,
Test.
[Jerry] It's love her or leave her, J.R.
[Ross] It certainly is. It's that simple.
[Jerry] This maybe one of the most important matches
in the history of the WWE.
[Ross] If Test wins then Shane McMahon has agreed to butt out
of Test and Stephanie's lives forever.
However, if Test loses this Greenwich Street Fight to Shane McMahon,
then Test and Stephanie's relationship is history.
[Jerry] Look at Test's ribs, they gotta be hurting him.
[Ross] Well, Test has done his share of ambushing himself.
Test has taken out every single member of The Mean Street Posse,
starting out with Pete Gas.
Pete Gas sustained a neck injury and three cracked ribs.
And then it was Rodney.
Rodney with a separated shoulder and a broken arm.
Thanks to Test.
And then Joey Abs got his ankle crushed,
leaving only Shane McMahon
to face the six-six, 270-pound youngster.
[Jerry] This is scary for Shane.
I'm worried.
["No Chance in Hell" playing]
[Jerry] Do you think he's up for it, though, J.R.?
[Howard] His opponent from Greenwich, Connecticut,
weighing 240 pounds,
Shane McMahon.
[Ross] Well, I'll tell you one thing, at WrestleMania,
Shane McMahon proved to the world that he is an amazing young athlete.
He's coming out here without any backup.
-[Jerry] Right. -[Ross] Without The Mean Street Posse.
-[Jerry] Exactly. -[Ross] Only on his own.
And you gotta admire the fact that Shane McMahon
is gonna do this by himself.
He's gonna step in the ring with Test.
[Jerry] Well, what guts this takes.
I'm telling you, Shane really--
He really thinks he knows what's best for Stephanie.
And I'm sure he does. I want one of those jerseys he's wearing.
[Ross] Shane McMahon made this is a Greenwich Street Fight.
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Ross] Yesterday morning on Livewire.
[Jerry] How gutsy is Shane McMahon?
[Ross] Well, they're staring down here, both men-- Wait a minute.
["Posse" playing]
[Jerry] What is this?
[Ross] The Posse music, isn't it?
[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
The Posse.
What's left of The Posse.
-[Ross] Shane McMahon-- -[Jerry] Look at their shirts.
[Ross] Shane McMahon is shocked to see
Rodney, Pete Gas, and Joey Abs.
[Jerry] His friends.
The Posse.
You know what they say, J.R. Every day someone must pay.
Oh, boy, how gutsy-- How gutsy is Joey Abs, he's got a crushed ankle
and he's still hobbling around.
[Ross] Oh, yeah, he's got a walking cast on.
There you see the damage done on those ambush attacks by Test and--
-[Jerry] Well, you know. -[Ross] You know--
[Jerry] It's only natural that they're here
because this is a Greenwich Street Fight.
[Ross] Okay, it was.
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Ross] Yeah.
Who didn't know that they were gonna be here?
[Jerry] There's a couch-- Oh, look out, Shane.
[Ross] Yeah, there's couch here.
-And this don't smell right. -[bell ringing]
-[Jerry] Now, look at this. -[Ross] Oh, man.
-[Jerry] My gosh. -[Ross] My God.
What a takedown by Test taking Shane McMahon down.
Come on. Get him
[Ross] Test hammering away.
You're talking about a personal issue.
Shane McMahon does not want Test to date Shane's sister, Stephanie.
[Jerry] Well, what do you-- Oh, look at that, Shane.
[Ross] What a spear by Shane McMahon.
And Shane McMahon with the right hands on Test.
Test with those busted up ribs,
thanks to Shane McMahon's kendo stick attack last Monday night.
Not to mention what happened earlier tonight on Heat.
[Jerry] Oh, look at this.
[Ross] Test is so strong.
Hard right hands, Shane McMahon helpless in that corner now.
-[referee] Come on, Test. -[Jerry] Good grief.
[Ross] Man, this is-- This is gonna be the--
-This Greenwich Street Fight-- -[Jerry] Oh, my God.
[Ross] Oh, what a back body drop.
Shane McMahon was in another time zone there.
[Jerry] Oh, look at this.
They got champagne over there.
[Ross] Test jumping over that top rope.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] I tell you what, this--
-[Jerry] Oh, no. -[Ross] Oh, this is ugly.
These two men wanted to destroy each other.
Shane wants to destroy Test and Stephanie's relationship.
[Jerry] Oh, come on, what do you expect?
I mean, let's face it.
Shane McMahon is from-- What you heard about his father,
handsome, affluent entrepreneur, that's what Vince McMahon is.
The McMahon family, you want them to be associated with trash like Test?
[Ross] I don't really consider Test trash, quite honestly.
[Jerry] Oh, come on.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Test and Shane McMahon out in the-- Out in the seats here.
We got like we said earlier, 19,404 had crammed the Target Center
here in Minneapolis.
And they're getting up close and personal look at this Greenwich Street Fight.
[Jerry] Beautiful, beautiful.
[Ross] Shane just clotheslined Test from the outside back in.
[Jerry] I'm telling you, Shane is making a believer out of me
and all the rest of the world right here.
-[Ross] Shane-- -[Jerry] Look at this.
-[Ross] Shane has got a lot of guts. -[Jerry] Uh-oh. Oh, no.
-[Ross] There's no doubt about that. -[Jerry] This is dangerous. Oh.
Caught in mid-air. And what a powerslam right on the floor.
[Jerry] I think it bust Shane's ribs.
[Ross] And there's The Posse.
If nobody knew they were coming, why do they have a couch,
conveniently set here at ringside?
-[Jerry] I don't know. -[Ross] Drinking champagne.
[Jerry] I guess they want to be comfortable.
Well, you just don't like rich people, do you, J.R.?
[Ross] Right hands by Test.
[Jerry] Just because they preferred potatoes au gratin
to grits, you don't like them.
[Ross] Test, another knock down of Shane McMahon.
-[Jerry] Oh, look at this. -[Ross] Oh, look.
-[Jerry] What are you doing? -[Ross] Pie-facing The Posse.
And Rodney and-- Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Jerry] A little champagne in the eyes,
have a drink-- Oh, no.
-[Ross] Oh, look, a press slam. -[Jerry] What?
-[crowd cheering] -[Ross] Shane thrown on to his buddies.
[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
[Ross] Shane McMahon press slam as Stephanie McMahon,
-back in our tech area, watching-- -[Jerry] Stephanie, that's not funny.
[crowd chatter]
-[Ross] Oh, wow. -[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
[Ross] What a shot.
Test-- This Greenwich Street Fight completely out of hand here.
[Jerry] They don't act this way in Greenwich, do they?
[Ross] I only passed through there a couple times, I couldn't tell you.
And now, look at The Posse, all three members of The Posse
hammering away at Test.
[Jerry] You can't blame them, J.R. They weren't asking for this.
[Ross] No, they just had a couch at ringside.
[Jerry] That's right. Just to sit down and enjoy the match.
Now look at this.
[Ross] Three against one is what it is.
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[Ross] Man, that's gotta hurt.
-[Jerry] I hope. -[Ross] Referee Mike Chioda trying
-to pull The Posse… -That's okay. He jumped in.
-Come on, Test. -[Ross] …off of Test.
And now, the three members of The Posse did a pretty darn good number
on Test here, throwing him back to Shane.
[Jerry] Well, Shane will do anything to see that his sister, Stephanie,
doesn't wind up with a lowlife-- with a lowlife like Test.
-[Ross] Oh, a mailbox. -[Jerry] A mailbox? That's from Greenwich.
-[Ross] Good-- -[Jerry] With a dollar sign on it.
[Ross] What a shot right on the face of Test.
This Posse is giving Shane McMahon weapons.
They're feeding Shane McMahon.
[Jerry] Oh. Oh. That-- Hey, that sign is from--
That's from Greenwich Avenue.
That's right on the-- I think that's right at the driveway
of Shane's House.
-[Ross] What is that? -[Jerry] I don't know.
-[Ross] We got a-- -[Jerry] It's a shot of The Posse.
-[glass shatters] -[Ross] Oh, whoa.
My God. There's glass everywhere.
[Jerry] It was a shot of The Posse.
[Ross] There's glass everywhere for God's sakes.
[Jerry] Good.
-[Ross] Shane McMahon has broke that-- -You never touch my sister.
[Ross] The picture frame, look at all the glass out here.
[Jerry] Did you hear that? He said, "Don't you ever think
about touching my sister."
[crowd chanting]
-[Jerry] Just imagine Stephanie McMahon-- -[Ross] This has gotta over.
It's gotta be over here.
-One, two, three-- No. -[Jerry] No.
[Ross] Test kicked out. Test won't stay down.
Can you imagine what Test must feel for Stephanie McMahon to endure this?
[Jerry] Oh, this is-- Oh, come on, Stephanie, come to your senses.
[Ross] Man, this is--
What a physically-intense street fight this is.
Oh, Shane McMahon showing a lot of athleticism, and reverse elbow.
[Jerry] I can't believe Stephanie's back there watching.
[Ross] That was a hell of a move right there.
[Jerry] I mean, what is wrong with Stephanie if she winds up…
-[Ross] There's nothing wrong with Test. -[Jerry] …with this idiot, Test.
[Ross] There's nothing wrong with him.
[Jerry] Stephanie, would you rather vacation
-at Martha's Vineyard than Six Flags? -[Ross] Oh, look out. Look out. Look out.
We've got some high risk right here.
-Shane McMahon. -[Jerry] Oh, Shane, be careful.
-[Ross] Test gotta be out of reach. -[Jerry] Be careful. Oh, what's he doing?
[Ross] Shane McMahon trying a corkscrew moonsault
but Test was too far away.
Shane took the chance anyway.
-One. -[Jerry] My gosh.
[Ross] Man, that was a hell of an attempt.
-Look at this. -Two.
-[glass shatters] -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Glass breaking everywhere right on the skull of Test moments ago.
[Jerry] Shane, that was a good shot of The Posse, too.
-I think Shane hurt his leg. -Shut up. Shut your mouth.
[Ross] Shane McMahon trying to get his-- Fight his way back up.
These two men have absolutely brutalized each other.
-[Jerry] Look at this. Oh, no. -[Ross] Oh, Shane.
Shane trying to leapfrog that goes to a powerbomb.
Hey, ref, one, two.
[Jerry] Look at Rodney with that broken arm.
[Ross] Referee got distracted and-- But, no, oh, damn.
-[Jerry] Woo. -[Ross] Long two count.
Rodney saved the day there. I think Test had the three, King.
[Jerry] Oh, forget Rodney, what a gutsy move by Shane.
[Ross] Well, I'll tell you, Shane is showing a lot-- A lot of guts.
-Look at this. -[Jerry] Watch this. Watch Shane's leg.
Oh, my gosh.
I don't know how he's able to stand up.
[Ross] Boy, these guys had just hammered each other to--
[Jerry] That's how personal this is to Shane.
It's Shane's sister.
He loves her with all his heart and he wants the best for her.
-[Ross] He wants to control her life. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Well, now, Shane able to avoid the contact,
but the referee was knocked.
[Jerry] Did you see? Test intentionally kicked the referee.
[Ross] Well, that's an arguable point. I don't know--
[Jerry] He should be disqualified. Shane should be declared the winner.
[Ross] There's no disqualifications in a street fight.
[Jerry] Ah.
[Ross] Shane McMahon back up barely.
-[Jerry] Look out Shane. -[Ross] A clothesline.
-[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. -[Ross] Right here by us.
Shane McMahon clotheslined on the outside-- To the outside.
[Jerry] This is not good for Shane.
-[Test] Yeah. -Uh-oh.
-[Ross] Oh, Test now, what's he-- -[Jerry] Oh, no.
-[Ross] That's the same weapon. -[Jerry] Watch it, Shane. Oh.
[Ross] That's what Test was tasting earlier.
-[Jerry] He's gonna-- -[Ross] Thanks to Shane and The Posse.
[Jerry] He's gonna break Shane's back.
[Ross] Man, this is-- This is a vile, aggressive matchup.
Somebody's gonna get hurt bad, bad, bad here.
What a slam on the outside, and I guarantee you,
those little mats don't offer very much forgiveness.
[Jerry] I know you can't relate to this, J.R.
But Shane loves his sister so much that he's fighting his heart out for her.
Put himself through this torture, for Stephanie.
[Ross] I think he loved-- Wait a minute. Hey, come on.
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] There's the damn Posse.
-[Jerry] Well? -[Ross] I thought all those guys are hurt.
[Jerry] Oh, look at this.
[Ross] Joey Abs, and Pete Gas, and Rodney, triple teaming Test.
The referee is down, it wouldn't matter anyway.
It's a street fight.
-And now-- -[Jerry] What are they doing here?
[Ross] Posse dismantling the Spanish announce table
and they're putting Test on the table.
-[Jerry] What's happening here? -[Ross] Test is helpless.
Test has been assaulted by the three members of The Posse and--
-[Jerry] Oh, Shane. -[Ross] What Shane is doing here?
Oh, come on. What-- I can't believe this.
No, come one. Don't do it. Don't do it.
-[Jerry] Wait a minute. -[Ross] This is suicide.
This is suicide.
-[Jerry] Shane. -[Ross] My God.
Oh, my-- That hurt.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Jesus. God Almighty.
-Shane-- -[Jerry] We gotta get help out here.
Get some help for him. Get help.
[Ross] Shane McMahon dropped that elbow right through Test's heart.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] Shane--
These two men had brutalized each other.
There's nothing left of Test, there's nothing left of Shane McMahon.
[Jerry] And lucky for Test, there's no referee-- Wait a minute.
-Look at this. -[Ross] Look at this. This is suicide.
-[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. -[Ross] My God.
This is a-- That is suicide.
And now the referee-- Unbelievable.
-This is-- -[Jerry] One more time, look.
[Ross] Absolutely an amazing, amazing show of guts.
Shane--
[Jerry] Stephanie, look at this.
Look at your brother.
We gotta-- Let's take one more horrifying look at this.
I still can't-- I can't hardly watch this, look.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
-[Ross] I'll tell you what-- -[Jerry] Wait a minute.
The referee is counting.
[Ross] We talked-- You talked about Shane fighting for Stephanie's honor.
My God. What is-- What is Test going through here?
-What is-- -[Jerry] I don't know. Look at this.
Look at The Posse.
[Ross] Test has been-- Test has been put through hell
because of his love for Stephanie. And the damn Posse,
now they're putting Shane in the ring, Joey Abs.
And-- Gotta throw water at Shane
-just to bring him around. -[Jerry] Good.
-[Ross] Shane was on Dream Street. -[Jerry] Revive him.
[Ross] Pete Gas got the referee distracted.
-[Jerry] Get over there, Shane. -[Ross] This is it. This is it right here.
This has gotta be all.
-[Jerry] Covering. -[Ross] It should not end this way.
This is not right damn it-- Oh, wait.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] A two count.
Test got a shoulder up. Test got a shoulder up.
-[Jerry] How did he do it? -[Ross] Somehow, someway,
Test reached down and got a shoulder up before the three count.
[Jerry] Somehow that idiot Test did that for Stephanie.
I know you-- Come on, Shane.
You're gonna lose your sister.
[Ross] How much more can these--
[Rodney] That was three.
-[Ross] Oh, look out. -[Jerry] No.
[Ross] Pete Gas just nailed Shane.
-Gas knocked down. -[Jerry] What happened?
[Ross] There's a cover. Hey, ref, there's a cover.
[crowd] One, two.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Damn, The Posse.
-Shane McMahon was-- He was beat. -[Jerry] No.
[Ross] And Joey Abs pulls Shane out of that pinning predicament.
[Jerry] Somehow Shane kicked out for his sister.
-[Ross] And there's-- -[Jerry] He did it for Stephanie-- Oh.
[Ross] And there's Rodney with that cast, the cast on his arm.
-[Jerry] That will do it. -[Ross] That's gotta be it.
I cannot believe--
[Jerry] Hey, ref, get in the ring, referee.
-[Ross] Shane's gonna-- -[Jerry] Idiot.
[Ross] Shane's gonna win this match.
-He's not gonna do it alone, though, but-- -[Jerry] Good job, Rodney.
-[Ross] Oh. Oh, yes. -[Jerry] What?
[Ross] For the love that Test has for Stephanie,
it's immeasurable.
Test will not stay down.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] What are we gonna do, Posse? Look at this?
-[Ross] What? -[Jerry] What?
[Ross] The Stooges are here,
-Patterson 'N Brisco. -[Jerry] The Stooges--
-[Ross] Patterson 'N Brisco. -[Jerry] The Stooges have returned.
-[Ross] The Stooges have returned. -[Jerry] Look at this.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] You idiots.
[Ross] Patterson 'N Brisco have evened the score.
But Joey Abs is up with the chair. Oh.
-[Jerry] Oh, no. -[Ross] Right back in his face.
And now it's back to one-on-one.
-[Jerry] Oh, my God, Shane. -[Ross] All the way to the steel post
for Shane McMahon.
[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] No. -[Ross] A pumphandle into a powerslam.
[Jerry] Oh, no. Get up, Gas, get up, Joey.
-[Ross] Test gotta go for the cover. -[Jerry] Pete, where are you?
[Ross] Test is not through. I think this is for Stephanie.
-This one is for Stephanie McMahon. -[Jerry] But Shane's got no help.
-[Ross] What-- Look at Shane over-- -[Jerry] Shane move, move.
-[Ross] Oh, God. -[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Ross] The elbow in Shane McMahon's black heart.
-[bell ringing] -[Ross] And Test wins. Test wins.
[Howard] Here is your winner, Test.
["This Is A Test" playing]
[Ross] And Shane McMahon has gotta butt out
of Test and Stephanie's life.
["This Is A Test" playing]
[Ross] Test has-- He's earned the right to have a relationship.
And, man, there's some love here, King.
[Jerry] Well, I'll tell you, we all knew it
but Stephanie must be really somebody special
to fight that hard for Test to go through all that ordeal.
[Ross] There's a special, special relationship
and Test is hurt.
I guarantee you what, he paid the damn prize, so.
-[Jerry] But what about Shane? -[Ross] He paid the price, too.
Shane McMahon gave it all he could. Look Stephanie celebrating.
[Jerry] Like a cheerleader. Oh, look, look.
[Ross] Stephanie McMahon is free, King.
She is free at last from the chains of bondage of her brother.
She can go about her business now and lead her own life.
Just like she should have been able
-to do all along. -[Jerry] This is so sad, J.R.
Little this poor Stephanie know
this may turn out to be the worst day of her life.
[Ross] Or the greatest day of her life.
By the look on that smile on her face, Stephanie McMahon is happy,
-Patterson 'N Brisco… -[Jerry] I'm gonna tell you-- Listen.
[Ross] …had a big hand in this matchup.
[Jerry] I just can't help but think, what is poor Mr. McMahon thinking?
He's gotta be home watching this on Pay-Per-View. Boom.
What went through Vince's head when he saw this?
[Ross] And look at this reaction here.
Stephanie McMahon celebrating.
Her man, Test, she is free.
She is free of her brother's control.
But Shane McMahon did every damn thing he could, physically and mentally,
to put Test down, but tonight was not the night.
Test is the winner.
[rock music playing]
[Ross] SummerSlam Tag Team title matchup, folks,
we're just moments away.
Kane and X-Pac would defend the gold against The Big Show and The Undertaker
and this is a very unusual matchup to the first combination.
[Big Show] You're gonna reach your hand out to me
and I'm gonna stick a knife right in the middle of your heart.
I hate everyone. I hate everything.
[Ross] This is absolute carnage.
There's gonna be pain.
[Ross] This is a savage, brutal attack.
[Big Show] It's a time for pure,
unadulterated hatred and evil.
[Ross] Here comes The Big Show.
[Big Show] What you see before you
is the most dominant force ever.
[Ross] Now it's Kane, being pummeled,
-being brutalized… -[Jerry] Give it to him.
[Ross] …by The Undertaker and The Big Show.
[Undertaker] We will hurt who we want.
We will take what we want and we will destroy what we want.
[Ross] I don't think the 82nd Airborne can wipe out
The Big Show and The Undertaker.
Be afraid.
Be very afraid.
[Kane yelling]
[Ross] The Big Red Machine is distraught.
He is emotionally destroyed.
X-Pac has shown Kane what it's like to have a heart.
You heard, Sean.
You heard me,
I'm gonna hurt you.
[explosion]
[Ross] X-Pac and Kane against the dangerous Acolytes
here tonight on Raw in the battle for the tag team titles
is underway here.
X-Pac quicker than a hiccup, comes in, has no fear.
-I can assure you that. -[Jerry] No.
-Look at this. -[Ross] Oh, man, what impact.
Tremendous impact by Kane.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] X-Pac is a gamer, this kid will not quit
as long as he's breathing, I guarantee you that.
-And-- -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] The X-Factor, the X-Factor. X-Pac hit the X-factor.
Yes, we got new tag team champions.
[X-Pac] If you ain't down with me and The Big Red Machine,
Kane has got two words for you.
Suck it.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] My God, there's The Big Show and The Undertaker.
[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
[Ross] The Undertaker and The Big Show with an all-out assault.
The Undertaker trying to take his brother's head off.
The Big Show going right after X-Pac's neck.
Look at the carnage that has been left
at the hands of The Undertaker and The Big Show.
[Undertaker] What used to be known as SummerSlam
will now be known as Armageddon.
[Big Show] Armageddon.
[Undertaker] And whoever shows up
will be hurt.
Kane, with all due respect at least on paper,
it looks like your title defense tonight is a mismatch.
On paper, this ain't paper, man.
And the fact is,
is there ain't an ass whooping that's ever been dished out
that I can't take and get back up from.
And, Taker, Kane and I, we're closer than you've ever been
and boys, that's what's gonna make you guys the underdogs tonight.
Let's get out of here, man.
[Ross] Well, there's no doubt about those two men are together.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] They have a bond,
they could trust each other.
I don't know if you say the same thing with The Undertaker and The Big Show.
-[Jerry] I hate this. -["Burned" playing]
-[explosion] -[Jerry] Oh.
I'll never forgive X-Pac for making that idiot Kane a human being.
-Look at that. -[Ross] Quite an ovation
for the tag team champions here in Minneapolis.
[Jerry] That's only because X-Pac is from this dreaded twin cities area here.
Look at Kane, is that-- It's a new look.
[Ross] Kane with some new ring attire.
♪ You think you can tell me What to do? ♪
[Ross] A new attitude.
♪ You know Who you're talkin' to? ♪
[Ross] X-Pac and Kane
have this capacity crowd standing on their feet,
and wherever you are around the world watching this in Europe on Sky,
in Aruba, South Africa, throughout North America.
[explosion]
[Ross] Some serious battling here with us here at SummerSlam.
[Jerry] Well, I'm telling you, J.R.
The WWE Superstars are giving up everything they got tonight
to the-- To the people that are watching this.
-[Ross] Amen to that, King. -["Unholy Alliance" playing]
[Ross] We have seen great effort thus far.
["Unholy Alliance" playing]
[Ross] Uh-oh. The ominous feel of this music, and there's a reason--
[bell ringing]
[Howard] Introducing the challengers, accompanied to the ring by Paul Bearer
at a combined weight of 828 pounds,
The Big Show and The Undertaker.
[Ross] Yes, indeed, it will be the greatest challenge
of the careers of X-Pac and Kane here.
The Big Show, seven-two, 500 pounds.
The Undertaker, just under seven-feet tall himself,
well over 300 pounds.
[Jerry] The tag team titles are up for grabs.
What do you think has gotta be going through the mind of X-Pac right now?
He's more than nervous than a pizza on his way to Paul Bearer.
[Ross] I'll tell you what, I would think that X-Pac knows
that he could be the offensive focus of this match
as far as The Undertaker…
-[Jerry] Oh, here we go. -[Ross] …and Big Show are concerned.
-[bell ringing] -[Ross] And here we go.
Tag team title is on the line.
Big Show and Kane exchanging those right hands
but X-Pac getting out-hossed there
by The Phenom, The Undertaker.
[Jerry] We knew it was gonna happen. You said it yourself
what The Big Show and The Undertaker are gonna zero in on X-Pac.
[Ross] And then a double teaming here.
The Undertaker teeing off on his brother, Kane,
as The Big Show, with those size 23 boots
-right on the chest. -[Jerry] Man, what about--
What about those lightning quick hands of The Undertaker? Oh.
-[Ross] Irish whip hard from the outside. -[Jerry] Oh.
-Look out. -[Ross] Look what Kane thought out.
Down goes The Undertaker with a thunderous clothesline.
-[Jerry] Whoa. Look out. -[Ross] Oh, and The Big Show.
What a-- What a shot by Kane.
-[Jerry] Look at X-Pac! -[Ross] X-Pac back up,
crossbody off the top.
X-Pac going for the cover and-- Oh.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] The power.
Oh, the power of The Undertaker. That was a near fall.
X-Pac wants to-- He's gotta create some space here.
Quicken the pace if he can,
but a whole heck of a lot easier said than done.
[Jerry] Watch this.
[Ross] Head-butt by The Undertaker.
You gotta believe that if The Undertaker or The Big Show are true to form,
they're gonna isolate one of these two men.
I gotta believe it's gonna be X-Pac.
[Jerry] Duh. Oh.
[Ross] Arm ringer applied by The Undertaker.
[Jerry] He'll pull X-Pac's arm right out the socket.
[Ross] No doubt about it and enjoy doing it.
And when he's through with the left arm,
he'll go around and do it to the right if given the opportunity.
[Jerry] I'll tell you this, I don't feel one bit sorry for X-Pac.
He's just gonna get what he asked for.
But I do feel sorry for Shane McMahon.
[Ross] There's a tag. Kane in.
X-Pac-- That's a smart tag by X-Pac.
Got Kane in there and look at the complexion changed
with Kane hammering his brother, The Undertaker, down in the corner.
[Jerry] Look at-- Look at this. That's cheating.
[Ross] X-Pac getting a cheap shot in. No doubt about that.
-Hard shot. -[Jerry] You better get it
-while you can, X-Pac. -[Ross] Oh. Undertaker landed on his feet.
[Jerry] Look out there. Oh.
[Ross] And right off the apron, King.
-X-Pac right-- -[Jerry] Right here in front of us.
[Ross] Right in The Undertaker's face.
[Jerry] They're standing right over what used to be
-the Spanish announce table. -[Ross] Oh. Oh, man.
Reverse elbow by The Undertaker, almost took X-Pac out of his boots.
[Jerry] And this will do it. Uh-oh.
[Ross] Oh, look out. Look out.
Oh, and up-- Kane, Kane intercepted X-Pac.
[Jerry] Just took him right out of his arms.
-[Ross] The Undertaker was gonna-- -[Jerry] I think The Undertaker
was gonna chokeslam him right on our table here.
-[Ross] No doubt about that. -[Jerry] Oh, my God.
[Ross] Look out. Good Lord.
The Undertaker and Kane all over this table here.
That's like an impact of an automobile.
And The Big Show just caught a huge foot right in the face
as he rounded the bend.
-Oh, my gosh. Look at Kane. -[Jerry] Watch out, Undertaker.
[Ross] Big Red Machine's gonna soar.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Oh. What a clothesline
right off the top at 300 plus.
-There's a cover. -[Jerry] Do something, Paul.
[Ross] One, two, and The Big Show--
The Big Show pulled Kane out of that pinning situation.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] And the right hand by Kane
beating Big Show to the punch. Tag title's on the line.
Kane and X-Pac defending against The Phenom and The Big Show.
[Jerry] And Kane-- Oh.
[Ross] Oh. Kane lowered his head and The Undertaker with a thunderous DDT.
And-- Oh, Kane's sat up.
Kane is sitting up,
and The Big Show tagged in by The Undertaker.
[Jerry] Nobody knows Kane any better than The Undertaker.
He knows exactly what to expect from Kane.
-And I'm sure he's told… -[Ross] Oh.
[Jerry] …The Big Show what to expect.
-[Ross] Oh, man. You got -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] You can hear the chop.
Oh, Kane is fighting right back out of the corner.
The Big Show now opening up. He's 500 pounds.
Irish whip far side.
Here comes the-- Oh, Kane caught The Big Show coming in.
Kane is on top of this game here tonight.
-Big Show cannot-- Can't connect. -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Ross] He nailed Kane with that foot.
-[Jerry] The big foot. -[Ross] Right on the face.
[Jerry] The big foot. Go ahead and say it, the big foot.
Oh, here comes the big elbow.
-[Ross] Oh. -[Jerry] Wow.
[Ross] Right in the heart. That could do it folks. And…
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Big Show, I think--
Oh, no, I thought he was going for a cover, he's gonna choke him.
[Jerry] Well, Kane just sat right up. Oh, there's that big knee.
[Ross] Right in the chest, driving the air right out of Kane.
Kane is not gonna sit up after those three knees right in the chest.
Kane rolling to his knees.
Kane trying to create some distance here between himself and The Big Show.
Now the elbow, that's like a tree limb fall on your head.
[Jerry] I thought that The Big Show and The Undertaker
would really try to zero in on X-Pac
but it looks like it's-- This is really personal, too.
I think The Undertaker has instructed The Big Show
to keep Kane in there and punish him, wear him down.
[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] That is a tall order-- Oh. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Kane now fighting back again.
-[Jerry] Big Show's a tall man. -[Ross] Beating Big Show to the punch.
Kane and those right hands teeing off,
it's a matter of momentum and--
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Ross] Oh, my-- What a powerslam.
That could be all. Leg is hooked, lateral press and a--
And Kane able to kick-out.
[Jerry] Well, that whole ring shook then, J.R.
[Ross] We're a count away from having new tag team champions
and there's a tag to The Undertaker.
Big Show out. Undertaker in.
And The Undertaker opens up on his younger brother, Kane.
A hard right hand by The Undertaker.
[Jerry] And a hard warning to the referee there. Oh.
[Ross] Undertaker measured his brother, Kane.
Caught Kane with the reverse elbow. Everything high impact.
Everything at Kane's head and The Undertaker intimidating
referee Earl Hebner here.
[Jerry] Well, I'll tell you, The Undertaker is the most intense big man
in the history of the WWE.
[Ross] Undertaker talking trash to his brother, Kane.
Oh. Hard Irish whip coming right at you.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] But again Kane,
catching The Undertaker coming in, looking for that clothesline.
And now the brothers exchanging right hands.
[Jerry] This could be Kane's night.
-[Ross] Kane. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Very crisp thus far, but The Undertaker cuts off that offense.
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Ross] They both had the same idea
that Kane and The Undertaker.
[Jerry] Because they're brothers. They think alike, J.R.
[Ross] Mid-air collision,
which favors the champions, Kane and X-Pac.
[Jerry] Look at X-Pac over there.
He's gotta be the happiest person in this entire arena.
You don't want in there, you know you don't.
-[Ross] I don't believe that for a minute. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] I don't think any of the fans knew either.
We all know what kind of heart X-Pac's got and there's a tag.
[Jerry] Let's see it then. Show me some heart, X-Pac.
[Ross] X-Pac not reluctant at all to get in there with The Phenom.
The Undertaker reverses the Irish whip but can't find the mark.
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Ross] Spinning heel kick.
He got it. He got it. X-Pac with the cover. Oh.
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Ross] The power of The Undertaker.
What a stimulating kick by X-Pac
and catching The Undertaker right on the solar plexus.
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Ross] Not once but twice.
[Jerry] I'll give it to you that X-Pac has got the heart
but he just don't have the power to hang with The Undertaker and The Big Show, J.R.
Face the facts.
[Ross] Big Show interferes on the outside.
Well, you know, King, that remains to be seen.
-I believe in X-Pac. -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Ross] I believe in Sean Waltman, you don't even see him
[Jerry] You believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny too, don't you?
[Ross] No, I don't.
And, oh, look at this.
-Look at this. -[Jerry laughs]
[Ross] My God. Look at the size of The Big Show,
500 pounds.
And The Under-- Oh, Kane.
-Kane is coming around the bend here. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] And he better get there in a hurry,
-or there's not-- Look at this. -[Jerry] Look at this.
-Gosh. Oh. -[Ross] X-Pac thrown back in the ring.
Kane just got there. I think The Big Show saw it
and tossed X-Pac back in the ring to The Undertaker.
[Jerry] Smart move. You gotta give The Big Show credit.
[Ross] The Undertaker has The Big Show prepared.
No doubt about it.
From the psychological standpoint in this matchup.
[Jerry] Yeah. But you gotta wonder
when is The Undertaker gonna stab The Big Show in the back?
-That could be any second. -[Ross] Could be tonight.
-[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. -[Ross] Or vice versa.
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Ross] Oh, come on.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Oh. Make a wish.
-[Jerry laughs] -[Ross] Oh.
-I can't even-- -[Jerry] I can't even describe that.
[Ross] I can't imagine how that feels and again Kane coming to X-Pac's aid,
but Undertaker throwing X-Pac back in the ring.
Every-- Oh.
-[Jerry] Imagine how this feels. -[Ross] Oh, my God. Don't do it.
A low blow.
I don't know that The Big Show got all of it, but 500 pounds,
a little of him goes a long way.
[Jerry] I think he just got him in the hamstrings.
[Ross] Five hundred pounds can do a lot of damage
on what seemingly is an ordinary move just like this.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Can you imagine a torque
coming down from a seven-two, 500 pounder?
[Jerry] That crushed his ribs.
[Ross] X-Pac has been grounded. There's nowhere for him to go.
[Jerry] Watch Big Show throw X-Pac. Look at this.
-[Ross] Just as-- -[Jerry] Like a rag doll.
[Ross] Just as Kane got there to help X-Pac.
-[Jerry] And look at this idiot now. -[Ross] Big Show tosses X-Pac
back in the ring. I cannot believe this youngster.
Folks, can you believe this kid's heart?
-Oh. -[Jerry] Yeah, it's about to be squashed.
Squeeze that heart till it stops.
[Ross] This is the most devastating bear hug
in the history of this industry.
At seven-two, 500 pounds, you can only imagine what it feels like
to have those huge arms wrapped around you and squeezing for all he's worth.
-[Jerry] Oh, look at this. -[Ross] Look at X-Pac, he's biting.
[Jerry] He's biting his nose.
-[Ross] X-Pac bit the-- -[Jerry] What the?
[Ross] X-Pac bit The Big Show on the nose.
-[Jerry] Bite this. -[Ross] Oh, man.
-Modified chokeslam. -[Jerry] That's it.
[Ross] Kane's gotta get in there, and he does.
Man, that would've been over, no doubt about it.
We had new tag champions written down in a book.
[Jerry] Wow.
-[Ross] Uh-oh. -[Jerry] Here's a message for Kane.
[Ross] Undertaker just told--
[Jerry] Big Show is angry and here comes the big chokeslam.
[Earl] Hey, hey.
-[Ross] Oh, that does it. -[Jerry] What?
-[Ross] Kane came in again. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] And there's a low blow.
X-Pac with a low blow and that will stop anybody
no matter how big you are.
-[Jerry] X-Pac just-- -[Ross] That was a desperation move, King.
[Jerry] He's chopped The Big Show down to size and that--
I think that hurt The Big Show more than with your ordinary--
[Ross] Come on, X-Pac. Make that tag.
Here comes The Undertaker.
-He's got the tag. -[Jerry] Get him, get him,
-get him, get him. -[Ross] X-Pac, he's close-- No. Oh, man.
Oh, that could be the difference right there in this matchup.
Look at The Undertaker taunting Kane.
-And there's a low blow by X-Pac. -[Jerry] Oh, no. How many--
[Ross] And there's a tag. There's a tag.
[Jerry] We got trouble.
[Ross] Kane now and The Undertaker are the legal men.
Hard right hand. Oh.
Another right hand on The Big Show.
-Kane taking over on The Undertaker. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Oh. What a-- What an Irish whip to the far corner.
-Tag title's on the line. -[Jerry] No.
[Ross] And Kane now trying to take on both men.
Here comes X-Pac back in.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Oh, what a spinning heel kick
-on The Undertaker. -[Jerry] Look at this.
[Ross] Over the top went The Undertaker, landing on his feet.
[Jerry] Look at this.
[Ross] Crossbody but X-Pac was caught.
-[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. -[Ross] Oh, my God.
-Look out. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Undertaker, face first into the ring post.
Kane has beaten The Big Show down in the ring.
[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
Don't tell me that Kane and X-Pac are gonna be able to pull this off.
-Is that a tag? -[Ross] X-Pac-- Yes, it was.
X-Pac tagged himself in.
[Jerry] Oh, he can't wait to do this Shane McMahon's move.
[Ross] Bronco Buster time.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry laughs]
[Ross] The Bronco Buster on The Big Show.
[Jerry] Not to The Big Show.
[Ross] Kane and The Undertaker fighting on the outside.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] Big Show has been humiliated
-by-- Oh, my God. -[explosion]
[Ross] Look at the chokeslam. It's gotta be over.
[Jerry] You don't want to anger The Big Show.
-[Ross] It's gotta be over. -[Jerry] You don't want to make him mad.
[Ross] Oh, come on. That's gotta be it right there.
-And there's three-- No, it's not. -[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] No, it's not. My God. -[Jerry] What?
[Ross] My God. Can you believe it?
Taker can't believe that The Big Show did-- Oh, Undertaker tagged himself in.
[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. Look at Taker.
[Ross] Undertaker wanted a better cover
and The Undertaker shoving The Big Show out of the way.
The Big Show delivered that huge chokeslam.
And X-Pac has just been worn out by The Undertaker in this combination.
-[Jerry] Oh, here we go. -[Ross] Oh, my God.
-[Jerry] Oh. Yes, yes. -[Ross] A Tombstone Piledriver.
There's the Tombstone.
-And we've got new tag team champions. -[bell ringing]
-[crowd cheering] -["Unholy Alliance" playing]
[Jerry] I told you it was gonna happen, J.R. I told you.
[Howard] And new World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Champions,
The Big Show and The Undertaker.
[Ross] Boy, The Undertaker looking a hole right through The Big Show.
The Undertaker obviously thinks The Big Show had X-Pac pinned
-after the first slam. -[Jerry] It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter, J.R.
They're the tag team champions, The Big Show and The Undertaker.
[Ross] Well, it may not matter to you but I think it matters to The Undertaker
and it may matter for The Big Show
once they get back in the locker room.
[Jerry] It'll be a celebration.
[Ross] The Undertaker and The Big Show, as devastating a combination
that has ever stepped foot in any ring in any arena,
have just become the WWE Tag Team Champions.
[Jerry] Well, I'm gonna tell you something,
I hate to say this, but I guess I gotta give it to X-Pac.
He hung in there. I couldn't believe it.
I never thought he would be able to last like that,
but he gave it everything he had.
Go after it. Do whatever you wanna do out there.
It's three of you.
You know what it is, but the pinfall's gotta take place
in the middle of the ring.
Where are you going, man?
You remember, it's your title, baby.
You're defending it.
I can't believe it.
-The guy's got-- -Well, I'll tell you what,
it's gonna-- Stone Cold is walking away from Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
That shows you the mindset that Austin's in right now.
Challenging thing for The Body to control three guys.
Well, I'm gonna tell you something, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
you better listen to Jesse Ventura.
He is gonna be the law inside that ring tonight.
What he says goes.
Well, we-- but that's the-- That's the general idea.
-Right. -Easier said than done.
Well, why would Stone Cold walk away
-from Jesse Ventura? -♪ I'm an ass man ♪
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] Because he's Stone Cold.

Now, when I beat The Rock tonight,
-it's not my ass he's kissing. -[Jerry] What?
It's hers.
-[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. -[Ross] That is a--
[Billy] And then The Rock is gonna smell-l-l-l-l
what her ass is cooking.
[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. Let's see it. Get the camera around there.
[Ross] I've heard of restaurant quality, but this baker quality.
-[Jerry laughs] -[Ross] That is a full-sized lady.
No offense, ma'am.
[Jerry] Oh, man. I've heard of--
I've heard of buns of steel, but those are buns of cinnamon. [laughs]
-Oh. -[Ross] Look out.
-King, go over and help her, will you? -[Jerry] Oh, yeah, right.
-[Ross] Get a crane. -[Jerry] Here, ma'am,

from Miami, Florida, weighing 275 pounds,
The Rock.
[Jerry] You heard Howard Finkel?
[Ross] I thought he said Kiss My Tuchus match.
[Jerry laughs]
[Ross] Boy, two great athletes. You won't see any better athletes
than The Rock and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn anywhere in any ring.
[Jerry] What is it about The Rock, J.R.? Tell me.
What it is about The Rock that make these fans go nuts? They love him.
[Ross] Well, King, if you knew your damn role,
-you'd know the answer to that question. -[Jerry laughs]
[Ross] Both these guys are gifted athletes.
[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] Yeah. -[Ross] Yeah.
Well, this is amazing.
[Jerry] Even I got a-- Even I kinda hope that The Rock don't have to kiss
that big ass right there, J.R.
That ass ought to have wide load written across the back of it.
-[Ross] Uh-oh. Here we go. -[Jerry] Here we go now.
[bell ringing]
[Ross] "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn taking the early advantage here on The Rock.
19,404 on their feet, they settled in here to see this first ever
-Kiss My Ass match in WWE history. -[Jerry] Nineteen thousand?
[Ross] 19,404.
And "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn, well, he's amazing.
An amazing physical specimen.
[Jerry] Yeah. This is a proud moment for the World Wrestling Entertainment,
not because there are 19,000 people here,
but because I've never heard of a Kiss My Ass match before.
This is great.
Oh. Wow.
[Ross] Right hand by The Rock has Bad Ass on his-- On his heels.
Well, you'll never know what you're gonna get from the WWE, King.
-That's for sure. -[Jerry] You're not kidding.
-[Ross] Ow. Oh, right hand. -[Jerry] But you know
what you're gonna get from The Rock.
You're gonna get the smack put down on you. Oh.
[Ross] "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn may be checking
into the SmackDown Hotel.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] There's some of the Minnesota Viking
football players right there.
-Tony Williams, he's from Memphis. -[Ross] Yeah. John Randle here,
one of the great defensive lineman in the league.
Of course, the Vikings took care of the Cleveland Browns last night
in pretty easy fashion.
As The Rock is taking Bad Ass to parts unknown, I guess.
[Jerry] Where is he going?
Had to throw that in about the Browns, didn't ya?
[Ross] They got a room just to-- Rock's got a room reserved
for the Bad Ass at the SmackDown Hotel.
King, have you ever stayed there?
[Jerry] Never.
There's a Heartbreak Hotel down in Memphis.
-[Ross] Here on the concrete. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] And Bad Ass rammed into the steel railing there,
and referee Mike Chioda's gonna be saying rock and roll.
Somewhere along the way one of these two men,
at least it's scheduled, to kiss one of the other's behind.
[Jerry] Well, now, Mr. Ass said that he's brought the special behind over here
for The Rock to kiss if Mr. Ass wins.
[Ross] She has the ample designated ass suitable for kissing.
And there's a clothesline knock down right on the concrete.
-[Jerry] Suitable for kissing? -[Ross] King, obviously, I--
[Jerry] Are you telling me you would kiss that?
[Ross] No, ma'am.
[Jerry] What kind of kiss is that? I hope not a-- Not a French kiss.
Oh! There'd be no tongue involved, would there?
-[Ross] Now you're turning my stomach. -[Jerry laughs]
[Ross] And "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn now has opened up on The Rock.
It was The Rock's idea to go out in the steel
and Bad Ass making The Rock pay for it, and here comes The Rock right back.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Security railing, just didn't say ouch or nothing.
Just fires right back at you.
It's their favorite spot over there.
-And that's near that lion's den cage… -[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
[Ross] …where Shamrock was victorious earlier tonight against Steve Blackman.
[Jerry] I think The Rock is staying as far away from this big rotund--
[Ross] Wildebeest.
[Jerry laughs] Wildebeest?
This ain't the animal channel, J.R.
[Ross] Holding team all alone.
Although his taste in ladies is somewhat dubious.
But in any event, The Rock--
[Jerry] No, he brought her for The Rock to taste.
Oh, man.
[Ross] What an impact was that.
[Jerry] Uh-oh, you better get ready to pucker up there, Rock.
[Ross] Bad Ass with a foot right to the face of The Rock.
The Rock dislodge the steel steps.
Oh, now, just get thrown right back into the steel.
But these guys are in great shape.
There's a hard right hand.
Poor Rock can't even defend himself here, King.
He's in-- He's in big time trouble, as the People's Champion.
[Jerry] Hey, Rock, look over here in this other corner
and see what you might have to kiss. That will fire you up.
-[Ross] That would motivate me. -[Jerry] You're not lying.
[Ross] Look out. They're headed on our way.
We don't like that.
-Look out. -[Jerry] Watch the crown.
Oh, stop!
-Watch out. -[Ross] Look out.
[Jerry] Wow. Ah! Oh!
My crown, Rock, be careful.
[Ross] Yeah. That might cost million dollars.
[Jerry laughs] Oh.
-[Ross] Well. -[Jerry] He crowned him.
-[Ross] King Ass. -[Jerry] Thanks.
[Ross] Rock and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn right here in front of us.
-That's one way to revive, I guess. -[bleep]
[man] Get him, Rock.
[Ross] Good God Almighty.
"Bad Ass" Billy Gunn just hit Rock with that ring bell.
[Jerry] Oh, Rock get ready to pucker up.
[Ross] Oh, man, that-- Yeah. You're probably right, King.
Well, that'll take ya right outta the game.
And The Rock rolled inside after that shot to the head
by the-- By the ring bell.
[Jerry] Rock and roll.
[Ross] And Bad Ass going right for the head.
[Jerry] You need a wide angle lens to get a shot of that--
That's what Rock's gonna have to kiss, that derriere right there.
[Ross] Oh, the cover, one, two.
Oh, she's about 3XL as wide back there.
And there's a choke by "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn,
a blatant chokehold on The Rock.
[Mike] One, two.
Come on, he's on the rope.
-One, two -[Jerry] Let me tell you something, J.R.
I smell something.
[Ross] Smell what? Who's cooking?
[Jerry] I smell something. Did you do that or did she?
[Ross] I beg your pardon?
[Jerry] Somebody's-- Somebody call the air freshener guy in here.
[Ross] Well, it ain't me.
[Jerry] I hope that didn't come out of--
[Ross] Oh, look at that great athletic move, and knocked down.
Clothesline by The Rock.
Tremendous move by Bad Ass and a neckbreaker.
Oh, that was a tremendous counter,
a scintillating counter by "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn
-putting The Rock down with a neckbreaker. -One.
[Jerry] Rock is gonna have to kiss it.
I'm afraid you're gonna have to kiss it.
[Ross] Somebody's gonna have to pucker up.
-[Jerry] Look at it. -[Ross] Sooner than later.
Here's the cover. It could be over now. One, two.
[Jerry] What is that smell?
Let me ask you this, J.R.
[Ross] Are you wearing those same britches
-that Pepper peed on last week? -[Jerry] Uh-uh, no.
It's not that. I'm just wondering, do you think she's wearing underwear?
[Ross] Oh, good God, King.
That's a visual I just-- I cannot conjure up.
[Jerry] A G-string?
Thong?
[Ross] Oh, stop it.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Rock being measured.
What a shot, right in the collarbone,
maybe right in the throat.
"Bad Ass" Billy Gunn having his way with The Rock at this point in time.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] The Rock is in huge trouble.
And Billy, may just be a matter of time now
if Billy Gunn doesn't make any mistakes here.
The Rock is on-- He's reeling back on his heels.
-[Jerry] Oh-uh. -[Ross] The Rock backs out of the corner.
-[Jerry] There he goes. -[Ross] The Rock fighting back.
[Jerry] I think he got a glimpse of this
big mama over here.
[Ross] There's a reversal.
Rock hit the turnbuckle and-- Oh, my.
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Ross] What a Bulldog.
Bulldog headlock by "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn.
[Jerry] You can't call her a bulldog, now.
-Don't talk about her that way. -[Ross] Not her, the Bulldog headlock.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] And there's a cover.
Would this be-- No, it's not enough.
Great lateral press by "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn,
who quite frankly has controlled this one offensively…
-[Jerry] Come on Rock. -[Ross] …for the past several minutes.
[Jerry] I'm-- You know, I'm pulling for The Rock.
I mean, he-- He's gonna come down to Memphis to campaign for me.
I don't want him to come down there with butt breath.
Look at that.
Oh, my gosh.
[Ross] You reckon she's wearing underwear?
[Jerry] I don't know, but she's put away a lot of Twinkies
to get that big, hasn't she?
[Ross] Rock in the corner.
Where's he gonna go? Nowhere.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Ross] "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn with some hang time there,
going airborne and he did find his mark.
1999 King of the Ring.
Uh-oh, The Rock--The Rock's game face.
The Rock exploded out of the corner.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn doing a little showboating.
There's a reversal by Bad Ass,
and down goes The Rock again with a reverse elbow.
Great offensive game plan thus far by Billy Gunn.
-[Jerry] Oh, no. -[Ross] A fold over, DDT.
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] The Rock caught the DDT of Mr. Ass.
[Jerry] Rock knows he's busted, but Mr. Ass, I think he's out.
-[Mike] Three! -[Ross] Rock with a bloody nose.
It could be worse.
[Jerry] Yeah. You smell it too, don't ya, baby?
[crowd chanting] Rocky! Rocky! Rocky
[Ross] I bet she eats a lot of cheese.
[Jerry] You know, her face is not that--
-[Ross] Oh, stop it. -[Mike] Seven!
-[Ross] How long you been on the road? -[Jerry] What?
[Ross] There's a cover. The Rock's got the cover.
-One, two, three-- No. -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Did you ever notice how the big, big, heavy girls
have kind of a cute face if they just lose, like,
another person or something, couple hundred?
-Oh, man. -[Ross] Right hands.
Another right by The Rock
opening up on "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn,
-reversal of the Irish whip. -[Jerry] Look out.
[Ross] Oh, there's a neckbreaker of his own by The Rock,
reaching back for the leg
-and got a near fall. -[Jerry] Whoo.
[Ross] Boy, that was close.
About half a count away from a Rock victory.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh, man. -[Ross] Samoan drop.
Now, Rock rolls over, arm on top, and another near fall.
That's about a long two and a half, maybe two and three quarters there.
-[Jerry] Oh, look at her. -[Ross] Earned by The Rock.
-[Jerry] Get a glimpse of her, Rock. -[Ross] Uh-oh. Uh-oh
Rock looking for the Rock Bottom.
-And there's the Famouser. -[Jerry] Oh.
-[crowd cheering] -[Ross] That's gotta do it right there,
Mr. Ass, his Famouser caught The Rock.
[Jerry] Lift that skirt, baby. Oh, my gosh, look at this.
-[Ross] Oh, my God in heaven. -[Jerry] She is really rolling in there.
Oh, don't sit on his face.
[Ross] Oh, lord.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry laughing]
[Ross] Oh, my God.
Put the women an-- Put the children to bed.
[Jerry] She's got ripped pantyhose.
-[Ross] Put the children to bed -[Jerry] Ripped pantyhose.
Oh, no.
[Ross] Wait a minute.
-Oh, my God. -[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry laughing] -[Ross] The Rock.
-I bet she liked it. -[Jerry] She liked it.
[Ross] The Rock just put Billy Gunn's face
in that large woman's ass.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Rock Bottom. Rock Bottom.
Did I just say-- I just said that, King.
-[Jerry] What? -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] The People's Elbow.
[Jerry] Don't tell me.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] The Rock.
[Jerry] The most electrifying man in sports entertainment.
-Oh. -[Ross] Boom.
The People's Elbow, The Rock Bottom.
-[bell ringing] -[Ross] And The Rock wins.
[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] The Rock has won the match. -[Howard] Here is your winner, The Rock.
["Know Your Role" playing]
[Jerry] Now, wait a minute, J.R. That was not exactly fair.
I think-- I don't think it was the People's Elbow that did Billy Gunn in.
Billy Gunn passed out when he had his face jammed into that fat lady's keester.
[Ross] It might be somewhat of asphyxiation.
[Jerry] You know what they say, crack kills.
-Whoa. -[Ross] That's no crack.
-That's the Grand Canyon for God's sakes. -[Jerry] Oh, my God.
[Ross] You could smell what The Rock is cooking, ladies and gentlemen.
You can smell that victory.
The proprietor of the SmackDown Hotel.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] What do you think--
[Ross] Broken nose and all,
and a war with "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn.
[Jerry] What do you think "Bad Ass" Billy's smelling right now?
[Ross] Well, folks up next, it is time,
the WWE title is gonna be decided tonight.
Can Stone Cold withstand the challenge of Triple H and Mankind?
Can The Body maintain law and order
in this controversial triple matchup?
[Michael] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the victim of a vicious attack.
There was a cinder block near his head.
[Triple H] Well, What happened? What happened?
[Shawn] Tonight in the Triple Threat Match,
it's gonna be Triple H, it's gonna be The Undertaker,
and the third and final opponent
to see who the number one contender
at SummerSlam will be is Chyna.
[crowd cheering]
[Triple H] Chyna's just a girl. She could get hurt.
[Chyna] Just a woman?
Try me Triple H.
[Ross] And remember, this matchup,
first person to earn a pinfall or submission wins the match.
They'll be the number one contender to meet Austin at SummerSlam.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Oh, my.
-Chyna just nailed Triple H. -[Jerry] She definitely did.
[Ross] She wants to be the number one contender.
Hey, wait a minute.
There's Austin and he's got a steel chair.
Bouncing over the top rope.
[Jesse] Here comes the champion of the world.
-[Jerry] Look. -[Ross] Oh, my God.
Austin with a chair knocking Helmsley out.
Austin putting Chyna on Helmsley.
[Jerry] Now, wait a minute. You can't do that.
-[Jesse] Chyna. -[Ross] Chyna's the number…
-[Jesse] Chyna wins it. -[Ross] …one contender.
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] Chyna is the number one contender.
[Triple H] I don't know what you're trying to prove,
but let's call a spade a spade here.
Remember who made your ass.
I did.
Listen, you ungrateful bitch.
I am not asking anymore.
I am telling you.
I am taking back what's mine.
[Chyna] You give it a shot, Triple H.
Frankly, you ain't got the [bleep] to beat me.
[Ross] We're gonna finally find out
who the number one contender's gonna be at SummerSlam.
-But wait, there's Mankind. -[Jerry] What?
-[Ross] Mankind is back. -[Jerry] Look out.
-[Ross] He's got-- Oh, he's got-- He-- -[Jerry] Oh.
-[Ross] Oh. -[Jerry] Oh, gosh.
[Ross] Right on the head.
Helmsley got nailed on the head by Mankind.
[Jerry] Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait.
[Ross] Again, Chyna is the number one contender.
[Mankind] I want a piece of SummerSlam.
-How does that sound, Milwaukee? -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Mankind wants to be the number one contender for Summer-- Oh, my God.
[Chyna] In case you don't get it, that means no.
Mick, you want, you shall receive.
[Ross] I cannot believe this.
We're gonna see Chyna and Mankind…
-[Jerry] Look-- -[Ross] …go one on one tonight.
[Mankind] If you want it, you bring your ovaries
and I'll bring my guys
and we'll see who the number one contender truly is.
[Jerry] Chyna, look out.
[Ross] Chyna distracted by Triple H's presence.
Socko.
And Chyna is counted out and Mankind is going to SummerSlam.
And Helmsley can't stand it.
[Ross] Shane McMahon is back.
[Shane] Tonight in that very ring,
I am demanding a match
between Mankind and Triple H
to determine the undisputed number one contender for SummerSlam.
[Ross] Shane McMahon and The Heartbreak Kid will both referees
with Mankind and Triple H's No Holds Barred.
Anything goes in this match
and falls count anywhere in the arena.
Who will be the number one contender?
It really don't make a damn to me, because I don't give a rat's ass
who's in the ring with me as long as I got an opponent.
[Ross] Mankind's right hand is headed south,
and out comes Socko.
Mankind buries that right hand into the gullet of Triple H.
[Jerry] What would you do about this, Stone Cold?
[Ross] There's a great counter right on the chair,
the suplex on the chair.
-[Stone Cold] What's up with that? -[indistinct chatter]
-[Jerry] Triple H won. -[Ross] Wait, no.
Mankind's hand is up and so is Helmsley.
Who won the damn match?
[Ross] Yeah. That's what we wanna know. Who won the damn match?
Shane and Shawn we're deadlocked in their call of the match.
Vince contractually could not be backstage,
so I made the decision that at SummerSlam,
there would be the Triple Threat compromise.
[Ross] It's gonna be Austin against two men,
Helmsley and Mankind.
It will be two men coming to take to Austin's title.
["The Body Rules" playing]
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,
may I introduce to you
the most powerful referee
in World Wrestling Entertainment history,
Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
[crowd cheering]
["The Body Rules" playing]
[crowd cheering]
You know…
there's a lot of media saying that I'm a disgrace for being here.
[crowd booing]
But I'll tell you this,
I'm proud I'm a wrestler,
I'm proud I was a wrestler,
and I'm proud to be here tonight.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] All right.
[Ross] Amen to that.
[Jerry] Jesse for pres.
[crowd chanting] Jesse! Jesse! Jesse
-[tires screeching] -[car crashes]
-[crowd cheering] -["Schizophrenic" playing]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following contest scheduled for one fall
is a Triple Threat match
for the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship.
Introducing first, weighing 287 pounds,
Mankind.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Talk about a storybook situation.
Mick Foley out three months
for a severely injured knee, thanks to Triple H and the sledgehammer,
returned last Monday night to get revenge on Triple H
and has found himself as Mankind
with the opportunity to win the WWE title.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
-["My Time" playing] -♪ One, two-- Is this on? ♪
♪ Ha, yo Jimmy hit me with that Triple H
♪ Yeah, you let the music keep playing Mr. Dunn ♪
[Howard] To be accompanied to the ring by "The Ninth Wonder of the World" Chyna,
weighing 246 pounds,
Triple H.
[Ross] It has been a rocky, winding road for Triple H
to arrive here at SummerSlam with the opportunity
to become the WWE Champion.
Helmsley says he is the game
and his time is now.
[Jerry] It's all about him.
Look at that look on his face, he's focused, J.R.
[Ross] And Chyna is hellacious backup.
♪ My time ♪
[Jerry] Jesse laying the law down to Chyna.
He's telling her that she is not, in any way shape or form,
gonna be a factor in this match.
Oh, not yet.
[Ross] Well, that remains to be seen, King.
I don't know if even The Body can control Chyna.
No other man has been able to do it.
It's gonna take place right here.
[Jerry] And you know what, this place is fixing to explode.
-[crowd chatter] -[indistinct chatter]
You want an old man like me,
when I got all these fans around the ring?
-[indistinct chatter] -[crowd cheering loudly]
[Ross] Ventura will not be intimidated, I guarantee you.
And anybody who knows him knows that would be the case.
It's gonna be in the ring and don't you give me no trouble.
I don't care if you jump from here to here.
[Ross] Ventura just telling Chyna, "Don't you give me no trouble."
[Jerry] Uh-oh. I wouldn't do that if I were you, Triple H,
not if you wanna leave here the champion tonight.
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Howard] From Victoria, Texas,
weighing in at 252 pounds,
the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] The ovation for The Rattlesnake absolutely deafening.
-This is what SummerSlam is all about. -[bell ringing]
-[Ross] And here we go. -[Jerry] What?
[Ross] The Triple Threat Match on the line, the title at stake.
[Jerry] It started?
[Ross] Jesse "The Body" rang the bell,
-and Mick Foley pulling Helmsley outside. -[Jerry] Oh, man.
-[Ross] Helmsley and Mick-- Wait a minute. -[Jerry] Watch out.
[Ross] Oh, my God.
A Triple Threat match, the first person to score a pinfall
wins this match and will be the champion.
-[Jerry] And look at this. -[Ross] And there's the teamwork
by Mankind and Stone Cold on Triple H.
[Jerry] Watch it here. Look out. Oh.
[Ross] Second time Helmsley has tasted this wood
on this announce table,
and now into the steel.
Remember, they--
Whomever earns a pinfall
on any of the other competitors
will win this matchup,
or it could come by submission.
[Jerry] And look at this, poor Triple H is getting double teamed.
Hey, Jesse, wait, is that fair?
[Ross] It may not be-- It may not be fair in your book,
but it's fair as far as the structure of this match is concerned.
[Jerry] Yeah, but this is all about Triple H.
At least that's what he says.
This is Triple H's night. Oh.
Oh, man.
[Ross] Not starting out that way, I'll tell ya. It may--
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Ross] Mankind hugging Austin.
Austin somewhat reluctant.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] Austin with a right hand.
[Jerry] Don't touch The Rattlesnake.
[Ross] The Rattlesnake lashing out on Mankind,
and Austin looking for the Stunner in the early going,
and Austin and Helmsley colliding, Helmsley going outside.
Now, it's Mankind and Stone Cold,
The Rattlesnake, WWE title on the--
Oh, Mankind, nobody there.
Austin went straight south and Mankind went over the top rope.
All three men now on the outside with the WWE title at stake.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[crowd chatter]
[Ross] Austin is absolutely…
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] …ubiquitous. He is everywhere.
Hard right hand knocking Helmsley to a knee after warring Mankind.
The Rattlesnake would rather-- He'd rather die than lose his WWE title.
[Jerry] And he's the one with everything to lose.
Let's face it. He can lose the title
because he's facing not one, but two men here tonight.
[Ross] Well, Austin could lose the title without being pinned.
[Jerry] He's got it all on the line. Oh, wow.
[Ross] Austin is more at risk, obviously, than anyone in this match.
There's no advantage for the champion in these Triple Threat matches.
[Jerry] So, in other words Austin can lose it without losing.
-[Ross] Exactly. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Austin does not have to be pinned…
-[Jerry] Look at Chyna. Look at Chyna. -[Ross] …to lose the title.
Chyna stalking Mankind.
As Helmsley and Austin fight on the far side of the ring.
Austin and Helmsley
over our left and Mankind rammed into the post by Chyna.
[Jerry] Behind Jesse's back, as a matter of fact.
[Ross] Now Austin-- Oh, Austin blocks the table.
There's a right hand. And Helmsley again,
knocked into our table here.
[crowd chatter]
[Ross] Right hand by The Rattlesnake.
[Jerry] There's a lot of-- A lot of sexual energy going over there--
All over there between Chyna and Mankind.
[Ross] Austin choking Helmsley here with that television cable.
And Jesse "The Body" Ventura having some words with Chyna.
-Oh, wait a minute, Helmsley got a chair. -[Jerry] Look at this. Oh.
[Ross] Oh, my gosh, his knee.
A chair shot right into Austin's knee.
[Jerry] Jesse can't be everywhere.
[Ross] That was a-- Ventura on the far side of the ring
doing his job there, but in the meantime,
Helmsley being very resourceful
saw how Chyna had The Body positioned,
and it was Helmsley with a chair shot
right on the knee of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
-Did he hit him with a chair? -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Ventura asking this crowd if Helmsley used a chair
and the answer is yes, but you gotta see it to call it.
Right hand by Mankind who's back in the fray now.
If Helmsley pins Mankind or vice versa,
the winner would be the WWE Champion.
-Watch this out. -[Jerry] Watch this. Yeah.
[Ross] You can hear the impact of that steel chair
right on the knee of the WWE Champion.
[Jerry] That's gonna really slow Austin down
because that knee is already been injured.
He's still out here right-- He's right here over beside us, J.R.
-Look at this. -[Ross] Austin trying to get up.
Austin's knee is hurt badly here
with that chair shot by Helmsley,
as Helmsley now in control.
Austin's trying to get that…
-[Jerry] He's hurt right. He's hurt. -[Ross] …circulation back in that leg.
Yeah, no doubt about it.
And Mankind's up with Mandible Claw on Triple H.
He will do anything to win the title, and there's Chyna.
Chyna pulling Mick Foley down and straddling that ring post.
I think-- Did the referee see it?
[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. Look at-- Look at Mankind.
Austin is up.
-[Ross] The Body saw it. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] And The Body is ejecting Chyna at ringside.
Hey. Get her ass out of here.
[Ross] Helmsley just lost his queen in the ring.
[Jerry] Did Jesse say, "Get her ass out of here?"
Jesse rules.
And look. We've got The Rattlesnake from behind.
[Ross] Oh, Austin nailed Helmsley
as The Body is burning Chyna.
[Jerry] Chyna's being ejected.
[Ross] And Helmsley is being assaulted by The Rattlesnake.
Meanwhile, Mankind after that low blow to the ring post,
getting some time to recuperate.
[Jerry] Boy, I don't even understand how Austin is standing,
much less moving around the way he is.
I mean, two minutes ago he was laying right here at our feet, J.R.,
with his leg just mashed.
[Ross] Austin doesn't care if he breaks his leg, breaks his back.
You'll never break his spirit.
That's what the WWE title means to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
He is visibly limping.
Austin's knee has got to be killing him right now.
[Jerry] I just can't believe Jesse threw out Chyna.
-[crowd chatter] -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Has anybody ever thrown Chyna out?
[Ross] Well, Jesse rules, I guarantee ya.
Here at SummerSlam, I don't think anybody--
I don't recall off the top of my head if anybody's ever ejected Chyna.
[Jerry] Jesse Ventura, the most powerful referee in the history of WWE.
-Oh, boy, here we go. -[Ross] Austin's knee just buckled.
-I saw it. -[Jerry] Me, too.
[Ross] And again Helmsley using that ring post
to wring that knee right around the steel.
And there's just no way that ring post is gonna give.
[Jerry] I'll tell you one thing, this is looking good
-for Triple H right now. -[Ross] Mankind just--
[Jerry] You got Mankind over in one corner out and now Austin.
[Ross] Mankind out, thanks to Chyna.
Austin out, thanks to Triple H
and The Rattlesnake standing somehow, someway.
Chop block by Helmsley, again taking the knee of Austin.
Austin with both knees heavily braced.
And Austin is writhing in pain as we have never seen him before.
[Jerry] He's hurt.
[Ross] The intensity of Triple H is off the page.
Triple H obsessed by becoming the WWE Champion
here tonight at SummerSlam.
[Jerry] And nothing's gonna stop him.
-[Ross] And now look at Mick Foley. -[Jerry] Look at that.
[Ross] Mankind shoving Triple H out of the way.
And Helmsley and Mankind having a debate
over who's gonna stomp a mudhole in Austin.
[indistinct chatter]
[Ross] And watch The Rattlesnake try to pull himself up.
And now a double team.
Helmsley and Mankind double teaming The Rattlesnake.
[Jerry] Hey, what goes around comes around for The Rattlesnake.
[Ross] But you don't hear Austin crying about it.
He ain't gonna whimper and moan about it.
[Jerry] Well, he might.
He'll whimper and moan if he loses that WWE title.
[Ross] Double team by Mankind and Helmsley,
knocking The Rattlesnake down again,
with Austin's WWE title at stake
here at SummerSlam.
[Mankind speaking indistinctly]
[Ross] And I can't believe Mankind and Triple H talking over strategy.
And look at this double team.
[Jerry] I mean, look at this.
[Ross] A spinning leglock into a cover.
[Jerry] Wow.
What the [bleep] are you doing?
[Ross] And now Mankind and Helmsley now are gonna get it on.
Austin trying to-- Austin rolling to the ropes
and oh, with a collision.
Maybe the only way Austin can get up is to pull himself by the ropes.
[Jerry] Well, for a second there Triple H and Mankind were working together.
[Ross] And look out. Oh, my God, cannonball,
and Helmsley had that well scouted.
You gotta hand it to Helmsley.
He's a very intelligent, very fundamentally sound competitor.
No doubt about that.
And he's still coming and The Rattlesnake's back up.
If Austin is breathing, he will lash out at you.
[Jerry] Oh.
That might stop some breathing right there, though.
[Ross] Hangman by Helmsley,
taking Austin's neck and snapping it right off the top ring rope.
And now back to those knees.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Back to the ring post.
Helmsley, a very intelligent competitor, whether you like him or not.
I personally don't.
He's an amazing athlete and very, very intelligent.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Austin outfoxed Helmsley that time.
And Austin with a clothesline.
Austin knocks Helmsley right over the walls, right into the concrete.
[Jerry] And look at Jesse. I love this. Jesse is just watching them go.
That's great. That's what you gotta do.
[Ross] That's what the fans want,
and The Body is giving the fans what they want.
And here comes Mick Foley.
[Jerry] Get you some.
[Ross] It's not a good ballroom brawl without Mankind.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] But Mankind trying to go for piledriver and--
[Jerry] Oh, right on the concrete.
Right on the concrete, spine first went Mankind.
Austin's back up, barely able to stand on one leg.
-[Jerry] Look out. -[Ross] Helmsley up and over.
The WWE title at stake.
It looks like a war zone out here.
-[Jerry] Come on, Triple H. -[Ross] A lot like carnage.
[Jerry] Triple H, you told us this was gonna be your night.
Nothing was gonna stop you, he's right.
[Ross] Austin rammed into the steps,
shoulder first. Austin, down again.
And every time Austin goes down,
it's harder and harder for him to stand up on that one leg.
[man] Heads up. Heads up.
[Jerry] I still can't believe that
Jesse "The Body" Ventura threw Chyna outta here.
Never seen anything like that before.
[Ross] Ventura not gonna be intimated.
No doubt about that.
And Ventura is letting these men do what the fans want.
-[Jerry] I love it. -[Ross] Beat each other to a pulp
until we have a winner.
And right now, it doesn't look good for The Rattlesnake.
[Jerry] And the reason you notice Jesse didn't go out to the outside
is because he said, "We're gonna have a winner in the middle of the ring."
[Ross] Right hands by Austin with everything he's got.
Austin inviting Helmsley to come on in.
Austin can't walk to Helmsley.
Helmsley's gotta come to Austin.
[Jerry] Blocked.
-Oh. -[Ross] Low blow.
[Jerry] That wasn't blocked.
[Ross] The Rattlesnake will do anything it takes to keep the belt,
just as Helmsley and Mankind will do anything to win it.
Austin teeing off with right hands.
Helmsley knocked down to his knees.
And now, it's Mick Foley's turn
to feel the rage of The Rattlesnake.
Austin on one leg, giving it everything he's got
with his WWE title on the line here at SummerSlam '99.
-Oh, Helmsley. -[Jerry] Here we go. Here we go.
[Ross] Helmsley with a Pedigree.
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Ross] Austin able to block it.
-Oh, Austin, a catapult. [Jerry] Look at-- Whoa.
And Helmsley catapulted right into Mankind.
Helmsley was looking for the Pedigree. Austin able to counter.
And now Triple H has got a chair.
Triple H with that chair.
And there's a Stunner. It's over.
It's over. Austin's got it.
It's over.
Oh, my God. Damn it.
Helmsley with that chair shot.
What's this bull [bleep]?
[Ross] Austin had the match won.
-I told you about that. -[Ross] Austin hit the Stunner on Mankind.
-[Jerry] Look at Jesse. -Put it away.
I ain't told nobody they can use a chair.
[Ross] Ventura admonishing Triple H.
[Jerry] Oh, look out.
[Ross] And there's a shot to the head of Mankind.
Helmsley-- Oh, Helmsley gonna pin Mankind.
It will be over right here.
-Here's the-- Here's the cover. -[Jerry] What?
-[Ross] And Ventura is not counting. -[Jerry] Look at Jesse.
[Ross] Ventura says, "Hell no, you're not gonna win it that way."
[Jerry] Jesse rules.
[Ross] Jesse rules here.
The Body rules at SummerSlam.
[crowd chanting] Jesse! Jesse! Jesse
-[Ross] Oh, The Body. -[Jerry] He will not count.
[Ross] The Body refuses to count.
Mankind down.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] It's all because of Helmsley's chair shot.
[bleep]
[Ross] And Ventura's not gonna take it.
[Jerry] Uh-oh, uh-oh.
-Here we go. Here we go. -[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] And Ventura-- -[Jerry] I've been waiting for this.
[Ross] The Body won't-- Oh, wait, here's Shane McMahon.
No. No. Who do you think you are?
-You count, it's your job. -He hit him with a chair.
[Ross] Shane McMahon
admonishing Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
Don't you come out there and tell me [bleep].
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Uh-oh. Shane's a hot head.
He's about to punch Jesse right in the mouth.
[Ross] Oh, Austin.
Austin with a Stunner to Shane McMahon.
[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] I think-- I think… -[Jerry] What?
-[Ross] …Austin just-- -[Jerry] Wait a minute.
[Ross] So Jesse Ventura.
[Jerry] Jesse.
[Ross] What's Ventura gonna do with Shane?
[Jerry] He's got his hands on Shane.
[crowd cheering]

for a lot of years, folks.
[Jerry] Austin's in trouble, though.
[Ross] Austin hung out there by Triple H.
Focus is on the outside.
[Jerry] Jesse may be the most powerful referee ever here in WWE,
-but it's a good thing-- Oh. -[Ross] What a collision.
[Jerry] It's a good thing for Jesse that Vince is not here tonight after that.

the WWE title hangs in the balance here.

and then a double arm DDT.
Austin out of it, but we've got a new WWE Champion.

Hunter should've won this thing.
[Ross] Helmsley is distraught and dejected
while Mankind is elated.
-[crowd cheering] -He's the new champ.
[Ross] Folks, hold on, stay with us.
We're gonna try to get a word back at the locker room

to win the WWE title,
-but it was Mankind's night. -[Jerry] Oh, look at that.
[Ross] But Helmsley may have succeeded in crippling The Rattlesnake.
[Jerry] I'm telling ya, Helmsley was robbed here tonight.
