01:08:16,291 --> 01:08:19,895 Nice take down by RVD which is quickly countered by Jeff Hardy. 1408 01:08:20,496 --> 01:08:23,366 Both these men, in my estimation, match up very well. 1409 01:08:23,433

certainly use that ladder and climb up 1420 01:08:56,866 --> 01:08:59,301 and retrieve the Hardcore title, but he missed there. 1421 01:08:59,368 --> 01:09:02,304 And Jeff Hardy going downstairs, that's perfectly legal. 1422 01:09:02,371 --> 01:09:05,375 Again, you cannot have a disqualification in a ladder match, 1423 01:09:05,441 --> 01:09:06,876 you cannot have a count-out, 1424 01:09:06,943 --> 01:09:08,077 there is no time limit. 1425 01:09:08,144 --> 01:09:10,712 It's a Hardcore Championship match 1426 01:09:10,779 --> 01:09:13,549 and the wildcard if you will, is the ladder. 1427 01:09:13,616 --> 01:09:14,751 [Heyman] Here's the scary thing. 1428 01:09:14,817 --> 01:09:17,687 In this particular match, pinfalls don't count, 1429 01:09:17,754 --> 01:09:19,188 submissions don't count. 1430 01:09:19,255 --> 01:09:21,724 The only way to emerge the champion 1431 01:09:21,791 --> 01:09:25,161 is to climb the ladder and retrieve the gold. 1432 01:09:25,228 --> 01:09:26,996 -[Ross] You're absolutely right. -[Heyman] Of course I am. 1433 01:09:27,063 --> 01:09:29,465 [Ross] And this is the first hardcore ladder match 1434 01:09:29,532 --> 01:09:31,733 in the history of the World Wrestling Entertainment. 1435 01:09:33,169 --> 01:09:35,938 And Van Dam avoided that top rope. 1436 01:09:36,706 --> 01:09:39,474 And Jeff Hardy elevated to the top. 1437 01:09:39,541 --> 01:09:41,778 [crowd cheering] 1438 01:09:41,877 --> 01:09:43,412 [Ross] And hip lock, 1439 01:09:43,478 --> 01:09:48,350 RVD hip locked on the outside or inside to the out. 1440

01:10:15,978 wiping out Rob Van Dam and wiping out himself as well. 1449 01:10:16,045 --> 01:10:19,382 [Ross] Jeff Hardy and his brother Matt better known as the daredevils 1450 01:10:19,449 --> 01:10:22,050 and risk takers their entire career. 1451 01:10:22,117 --> 01:10:25,922 And Jeff, again taking a big chance 1452 01:10:25,987 --> 01:10:30,159 but did not pay off, RVD able to avoid that contact there. 1453 01:10:31,626 --> 01:10:35,063 [Heyman] And Van Dam capitalizes on the mistake by Jeff Hardy. 1454 01:10:35,130 --> 01:10:38,668 Rob Van Dam, RVD, looking to retrieve 1455 01:10:38,735 --> 01:10:42,038 the Hardcore title for The Alliance. 1456 01:10:42,105 --> 01:10:44,072 [Ross] Van Dam with a right hand, 1457 01:10:44,139 --> 01:10:48,177 the unorthodox, flexible Alliance member 1458 01:10:48,244 --> 01:10:51,147 dropping his leg on the back of Jeff Hardy's head. 1459 01:10:51,214 --> 01:10:55,184 Van Dam, again, with amazing agility and balance here. 1460 01:10:55,284 --> 01:10:58,987 And now Van Dam going up to the Hardcore title 1461 01:10:59,054 --> 01:11:01,290 hanging above the ring and Van Dam, 1462 01:11:01,357 --> 01:11:05,327 the first to attempt to retrieve the ladder and use it. 1463 01:11:05,394 --> 01:11:07,530 [crowd clamoring] 1464 01:11:09,499 --> 01:11:12,034 [Ross] Van Dam limping and certainly rightfully so, 1465 01:11:12,101 --> 01:11:14,904 it's a wonder he's able to stand as the challenger-- 1466 01:11:14,971 --> 01:11:18,941 And Jeff Hardy came right off the railing, Paul, 1467 01:11:19,008 --> 01:11:20,943 again putting his body on the line. 1468 01:11:21,010 --> 01:11:22,545 [Heyman] Well, that's smart by Jeff Hardy 1469 01:11:22,612 --> 01:11:25,882 because he doesn't want Van Dam to get the ladder in the ring 1470 01:11:25,947 --> 01:11:29,385 nor does Jeff Hardy wanna give RVD the opportunity 1471 01:11:29,452 --> 01:11:31,387 to use the ladder as a weapon. 1472 01:11:31,454 --> 01:11:33,356 [crowd

01:11:41,464 utilizing the ladder now bringing it to the ring for the first time. 1476 01:11:43,132 --> 01:11:46,335 And the-- Van Dam. 1477 01:11:47,403 --> 01:11:51,139 Well, that is a uniquely yet effective unorthodox way 1478 01:11:51,206 --> 01:11:52,675 of utilizing the ladder. 1479 01:11:52,742 --> 01:11:54,242 [Heyman] When it comes to physicality, 1480 01:11:54,309 --> 01:11:58,047 no one is as resourceful as RVD. 1481 01:11:58,648 --> 01:12:02,351 [Ross] He's very high in his abilities and, quite frankly, he has a right to be. 1482 01:12:03,352 --> 01:12:05,521 He's a great one, just-- If you don't believe it, just ask him. 1483 01:12:06,054 --> 01:12:07,290 [Heyman] Oh, he'll tell you. 1484 01:12:08,791 --> 01:12:10,760 [Ross] And Van Dam now 1485 01:12:10,827 --> 01:12:14,362 may have-- Oh, got a page out of his own book 1486 01:12:14,429 --> 01:12:17,967 used on him as RVD… 1487 01:12:19,402 --> 01:12:21,170 gotta set to straddle that ladder. 1488 01:12:22,605 --> 01:12:25,441 And that ain't gonna feel good tomorrow or the next five minutes. 1489 01:12:25,508 --> 01:12:27,610 [Heyman] He's not feeling good right now. 1490 01:12:27,677 --> 01:12:30,179 But Rob Van Dam is getting a chance to shake it off 1491 01:12:30,246 --> 01:12:32,949 because Jeff Hardy is hurting as well. 1492 01:12:33,683 --> 01:12:34,951 [Ross] Well, of course he's hurting as well. 1493 01:12:37,153 --> 01:12:41,357 And again Hardy, Van Dam lying on that ladder, what's Jeff gonna do? 1494 01:12:41,924 --> 01:12:45,361 Jeff springboarding his own body on Van Dam's body. 1495 01:12:45,428 --> 01:12:48,697 And that was not the mat, it was the ladder. 1496 01:12:49,665 --> 01:12:53,035 [Heyman] Obviously, the object here is to wipe the other man out, 1497 01:12:53,102 --> 01:12:57,005 so then and only then, if the ladder comes into play, 1498 01:12:57,072 --> 01:12:59,474 you go up the ladder uncontested. 1499 01:12:59,541 --> 01:13:01,244 [Ross] Both

the first time and Van Dam scores those right hands. 1530 01:14:25,861 --> 01:14:30,599 Now, Jeff Hardy lying in a very precarious situation and position here. 1531 01:14:30,666 --> 01:14:31,800 What's Van Dam doing? 1532 01:14:31,867 --> 01:14:35,771 [Heyman] Anything he wants all the way across the ring. 1533 01:14:36,572 --> 01:14:38,507 [crowd cheering] 1534 01:14:40,376 --> 01:14:44,213 [Ross] Van Dam got the momentum, 1535 01:14:46,148 --> 01:14:48,550 used his own body as a weapon 1536 01:14:48,617 --> 01:14:52,121 as we have seen him do on so many occasions, 1537 01:14:52,188 --> 01:14:54,857 just punishing the Hardcore Champion. 1538 01:14:54,924 --> 01:14:56,025 [Heyman] Check this out. 1539 01:14:56,092 --> 01:14:59,562 RVD, Rob Van Dam, all the way across the ring, 1540

upstairs, 1543 01:15:06,836 --> 01:15:10,106 that's where the Hardcore Championship is hanging 1544 01:15:10,172 --> 01:15:11,674 towards the center of the ring here. 1545 01:15:11,741 --> 01:15:13,843 There you see it, right there at the top of your screen. 1546 01:15:13,909 --> 01:15:15,945 That's what these two men are fighting for. 1547 01:15:16,012 --> 01:15:18,447 Jeff Hardy comes in as a Hardcore Champion. 1548 01:15:18,514 --> 01:15:23,085 He won it from RVD in a very unorthodox fashion about a week ago. 1549 01:15:23,152 --> 01:15:25,154 And what a reverse heel kick, 1550 01:15:25,221 --> 01:15:28,724 that's like a knockout punch, a Tyson-like right hand. 1551 01:15:28,791 --> 01:15:31,527 [Heyman] Rob Van Dam very proficient in the martial arts. 1552 01:15:31,594 --> 01:15:35,264 Rob Van Dam knows how to use his entire body 1553 01:15:35,331 --> 01:15:36,898 as a weapon. 1554 01:15:37,666 --> 01:15:41,771 [Ross] Van Dam now measuring at Jeff Hardy, 1555 01:15:41,837 --> 01:15:45,074 socks him, shoots that kick right into the face. 1556 01:15:45,141 --> 01:15:49,644 And Jeff Hardy, again, my gosh, he just can't get away from that ladder. 1557 01:15:49,712 --> 01:15:52,447 Again, the young man from North Carolina and RVD, 1558 01:15:53,182 --> 01:15:57,586 again with that unorthodox arsenal, 1559 01:15:57,686 --> 01:15:59,487 that unorthodox attack. 1560 01:15:59,955 --> 01:16:03,726 [Heyman] Rob Van Dam's mentor was a man known as being suicidal, 1561 01:16:03,793 --> 01:16:05,928 homicidal and genocidal. 1562 01:16:05,995 --> 01:16:10,833 RVD will wipe himself out to take out his opponent. 1563 01:16:12,168 --> 01:16:15,804 [Ross] Another look at a potentially career-shortening maneuver. 1564 01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,907

01:16:25,214 another shot by Jeff Hardy. 1568 01:16:25,281 --> 01:16:28,617 And there you see Van Dam bouncing off the concrete, 1569 01:16:28,684 --> 01:16:32,655 holding his-- holding his heart there with that ladder just rammed him. 1570 01:16:32,721 --> 01:16:35,090 You gotta wonder over the long haul 1571 01:16:35,157 --> 01:16:38,327 what kind of adverse effect these matches are gonna have 1572 01:16:38,394 --> 01:16:40,929 for young men like a Rob Van Dam or a Jeff Hardy, 1573 01:16:40,996 --> 01:16:43,398 because just look at the impact here and look at-- 1574 01:16:43,465 -->

car crash. 1577 01:16:52,641 --> 01:16:56,846 [Heyman] Well, Jeff Hardy dropkicked that ladder right into Van Dam's sternum. 1578 01:16:56,911 --> 01:16:59,048 But Hardy has taken a beating 1579 01:16:59,115 --> 01:17:01,150 and he cannot capitalize 1580 01:17:01,217 --> 01:17:04,719 as Rob Van Dam is recovering by the second. 1581 01:17:04,786 --> 01:17:07,322 [Ross] Great opportunity here for Jeff Hardy. 1582 01:17:07,389 --> 01:17:10,358 He's setting the ladder up with Van Dam on the outside. 1583 01:17:10,425 --> 01:17:13,929 There's the prize, Jeff Hardy's Hardcore Championship. 1584 01:17:14,663 --> 01:17:16,098 Van Dam staggering. 1585 01:17:17,900 --> 01:17:20,669 Van Dam's getting-- trying to get back in the ring. 1586 01:17:20,736 --> 01:17:23,606 Van Dam climbing to the top and so is Jeff, 1587 01:17:23,672 --> 01:17:28,410 Jeff looking for the title, and Van Dam just took Jeff Hardy right off the ladder. 1588 01:17:28,477 --> 01:17:30,446 Oh, what a shot that was. 1589 01:17:30,513 --> 01:17:32,281 [crowd cheering] 1590 01:17:32,348 --> 01:17:37,052 [Ross] Unbelievable athleticism by RVD, 1591 01:17:37,119 --> 01:17:41,357 taking Jeff Hardy off the ladder in the most physical fashion. 1592 01:17:42,458 --> 01:17:45,094 [Heyman] And now Van Dam brings back the ladder. 1593 01:17:45,161 --> 01:17:47,963 Again, no pinfalls, no submissions, 1594 01:17:48,030 --> 01:17:50,699 no disqualifications, no count outs. 1595 01:17:50,766 --> 01:17:54,068 The only way to emerge Hardcore Champion 1596 01:17:54,135 --> 01:17:56,772 is to climb the ladder, retrieve

concerned, 1602 01:18:07,148 --> 01:18:08,983 they hate to see either man lose. 1603 01:18:09,050 --> 01:18:13,022 And now RVD lying-- again that-- putting that ladder 1604 01:18:13,088 --> 01:18:14,456 on a prone Jeff Hardy. 1605 01:18:15,291 --> 01:18:19,461 And Van Dam, his own body striking the ladder, 1606 01:18:19,527 --> 01:18:23,331 but the impact went right into the body of Jeff Hardy. 1607 01:18:23,398 --> 01:18:24,867 Both men are hurting. 1608 01:18:25,434 --> 01:18:28,036 [Heyman] A tremendous game plan by Rob Van Dam. 1609 01:18:28,103 --> 01:18:33,008 Van Dam wants to

[Heyman] And in my opinion, the greatest WWE Tag Team Champion of all time and-- 1852 01:30:55,650 --> 01:30:57,619 -[Ross] You can't mean that, Paul. -[Heyman] I do mean that. 1853 01:30:57,686 --> 01:30:58,887 [Ross] You can't mean that. 1854 01:30:58,954 --> 01:31:02,724 [Heyman] And think about the history of the WWE Tag Team title. 1855 01:31:02,791 --> 01:31:06,728 Think about the history of the WCW Tag Team title 1856 01:31:06,795 --> 01:31:09,364 and realize that those titles 1857 01:31:09,464 --> 01:31:12,000 become unified tonight. 1858 01:31:13,134 --> 01:31:15,236 [Ross] They do

Undertaker emphatically closing that door. 1898 01:33:48,423 --> 01:33:51,326 There's a lot of personal animosity 1899 01:33:52,527 --> 01:33:54,596 from The Undertaker that he wants to extract. 1900 01:33:54,762 --> 01:33:56,130 There's Sara. 1901 01:33:56,630 --> 01:33:57,866 Sara's got a-- 1902 01:33:58,398 --> 01:34:01,669 Well, she's got a chain and a padlock, 1903 01:34:02,370 -->

01:34:20,221 --> 01:34:24,192 And look at DDP and Kanyon quickly and ran smartly 1910 01:34:24,259 --> 01:34:26,594 trying to climb out of here as fast as they can. 1911 01:34:26,661 --> 01:34:29,330 Remember, to win the match, you can win it by pinfall, 1912 01:34:29,397 --> 01:34:33,601 you can win it by submission or both members of one team 1913 01:34:33,668 --> 01:34:36,938 must escape the cage over the top and to the pole. 1914 01:34:37,005 --> 01:34:40,708 And then that's a hell of a way to bring Kanyon back in the ring, 1915 01:34:40,775 --> 01:34:43,577 and the Big Red Machine did it with authority. 1916 01:34:43,644 --> 01:34:48,349 [Heyman] A size advantage for the Brothers of Destruction, no doubt about it. 1917 01:34:48,416 --> 01:34:51,052 But Page and Kanyon are very resourceful. 1918 01:34:51,119 --> 01:34:53,621 [Ross] Undertaker knocking down DDP. 1919 01:34:53,688 --> 01:34:56,124 The Undertaker, as we documented, has this-- 1920 01:34:56,191 --> 01:34:57,724 has shortened the careers, 1921 01:34:57,858 --> 01:35:01,396 has laid people and things inside cages 1922 01:35:01,596 --> 01:35:04,666 at SummerSlam events dating all the way back to '97. 1923 01:35:04,831 --> 01:35:07,302 It has been ten years of destruction 1924 01:35:07,367 --> 01:35:10,071 for The Undertaker and his brother Kane. 1925 01:35:10,138 --> 01:35:13,474 I tell you what, I don't know any two more impressive, 1926 01:35:13,541 --> 01:35:15,343 imposing, dangerous men. 1927 01:35:15,410 --> 01:35:17,911 The Page is fighting with everything he's got. 1928 01:35:17,978 --> 01:35:20,215 What a sense of urgency but to no avail. 1929 01:35:20,281 --> 01:35:22,750 Why would anyone wanna double with Kane in the cage? 1930 01:35:22,817 --> 01:35:25,719 But Page and Kanyon for The Undertaker and Kane. 1931 01:35:26,054 --> 01:35:29,157 [Heyman] But no one has ever gotten under The Undertaker's skin 1932 01:35:29,357 --> 01:35:31,425 quite like Diamond Dallas Page. 1933 01:35:31,492 --> 01:35:34,362 The Undertaker, to me, is like Roberto Durán. 1934 01:35:34,529 --> 01:35:38,199 He's too emotional to compete for victory. 1935 01:35:38,266 --> 01:35:40,567 [Ross] Page deserves to get the hell beat out of him. 1936 01:35:40,634 --> 01:35:42,469 He's nothing but a pervert. 1937 01:35:43,170 --> 01:35:46,074 I mean, he's stalking the Undertaker's wife and then maybe… 1938 01:35:46,139 --> 01:35:50,111 And downstairs went Page, but nothing wrong with that in this cage match. 1939 01:35:51,112 --> 01:35:54,482 And you gotta believe that this may not be for the weak at heart 1940 01:35:54,616 --> 01:35:55,883 when it's all said and done. 1941 01:35:56,050 --> 01:35:59,487 A right hand by DDP, rocking The Undertaker. 1942 01:35:59,554 --> 01:36:01,723 [Heyman] DDP is one tough customer. 1943 01:36:01,789 --> 01:36:04,157 He's no pushover and he's one-half 1944 01:36:04,291 --> 01:36:06,728 of the WWE Tag Team Champions. 1945 01:36:06,794 --> 01:36:10,331 [Ross] A knockdown by DDP, looking for the cover here. 1946 01:36:10,531 --> 01:36:13,800 And, uh, the referee got a-- got a near fall. 1947 01:36:14,235 --> 01:36:17,605 DDP and Kanyon, the WWE Tag Team Champions, 1948 01:36:17,672 --> 01:36:22,277 Undertaker and Kane ironically the WCW Tag Team Champion. 1949 01:36:22,343 --> 01:36:25,380 Both titles at stake in this match. 1950 01:36:27,982 --> 01:36:29,584 Kanyon with a right hand. 1951 01:36:29,651 --> 01:36:33,021 You're looking for a pinfall or a submission to win the match or for… 1952 01:36:33,087 --> 01:36:34,856 [Heyman] Or for big time. 1953 01:36:34,922 --> 01:36:37,358 [Ross] …both-- for both men to escape the cage. 1954 01:36:37,425 --> 01:36:38,526 That was cool, man. 1955 01:36:38,593 --> 01:36:40,295 -[Heyman] Thank you. -[Ross] And-- 1956 01:36:40,361 --> 01:36:43,398 [Heyman] I know it's tough to keep up with me, and here you go again. 1957 01:36:43,464 --> 01:36:46,733 Advantage for DDP and Kanyon 1958 01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:50,438 as DDP is wasting Kane away in the corner. 1959 01:36:50,505 --> 01:36:52,907 [Ross] And Kanyon barely able to stand, speaking of advantage, 1960 01:36:53,141 --> 01:36:55,876 and Kane knocking down DDP. 1961 01:36:56,678 --> 01:36:58,780 DDP should be ashamed of himself 1962 01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:01,849 and he needs a long trip to the woodshed 1963 01:37:02,050 --> 01:37:04,419 after going to the man's home, The Undertaker's home, 1964 01:37:04,585 --> 01:37:07,355 stalking his wife, taking those hideous pictures. 1965 01:37:07,621 --> 01:37:10,657 And apparently, as he has documented those ridiculous, 1966 01:37:11,025 --> 01:37:15,196 well, unedited videos that Page has, uh, 1967 01:37:15,763 --> 01:37:17,732 apparently shown some of The Alliance team. 1968 01:37:18,700 --> 01:37:20,867 -[Heyman] Have you ever seen those videos? -[Ross] Oh, hell, no, I haven't. 1969 01:37:21,102 --> 01:37:22,337 [Heyman] You should. 1970 01:37:22,402 --> 01:37:25,473 Get it from me, not that I've seen them or anything. 1971 01:37:27,075 --> 01:37:28,809 [Ross] Kane just threw Kanyon on the top rope. 1972 01:37:28,875 --> 01:37:32,280 And Kanyon's body bouncing off that steel cage, 1973 01:37:32,347 --> 01:37:34,949 which is we have said before on many occasions, 1974 01:37:35,016 --> 01:37:38,619 it is true tonight, the cage is very, very unforgiving. 1975 01:37:38,820 --> 01:37:41,356 -[Heyman] I mean, there's this one-- -[Ross] Okay. That's enough. 1976 01:37:42,423 --> 01:37:45,526 And Kanyon, taking the corner with the Kanyon's credit, 1977 01:37:45,860 --> 01:37:48,496 he would've countered Kane at least to some degree. 1978 01:37:48,563 --> 01:37:52,700 And Kane's masked face right into the-- right into the, uh, cage again. 1979 01:37:52,767 --> 01:37:57,538 But look at this-- The Undertaker, measuring and hammering DDP. 1980 01:37:57,672 --> 01:38:01,275 And look out, Kanyon-- Oh, what a ride. 1981 01:38:01,342 --> 01:38:05,279 Nice flight, bad landing, no peanuts. 1982 01:38:06,347 --> 01:38:09,717 And now, DDP, not gonna hurt his face 1983 01:38:09,784 --> 01:38:13,121 to be post along into that steel cage 1984 01:38:13,254 --> 01:38:15,857 and now Page, 1985 01:38:15,956 --> 01:38:19,192 his body will never be the same after this, I can assure you. 1986 01:38:19,259 --> 01:38:22,130 Maybe none of the four, but because of what Page has done 1987 01:38:22,263 --> 01:38:23,831 to The Undertaker's wife, Sara, 1988 01:38:23,898 --> 01:38:26,666 you've gotta believe that there's some hell to pay for him. 1989 01:38:26,733 --> 01:38:28,969 And look at Kanyon, what does-- Kane. 1990 01:38:29,036 --> 01:38:31,572 -[crowd] Oh. -[Ross] Good grief. 1991 01:38:31,639 --> 01:38:33,840 I think that was the back of Kanyon's head, Paul. 1992 01:38:33,907 --> 01:38:37,378 [Heyman] Oh, I believe it was as well.
