[crowd cheering]

5
00:00:29,396 --> 00:00:32,532
[Cole] It's a hot August night
in the northeast.

6
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:35,969
It is scorching here
inside the Nassau Coliseum,

7
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:39,773

as we get set
for perhaps the most anticipated

12
00:00:52,252 --> 00:00:54,921
SummerSlam in history.

13
00:00:54,988 --> 00:00:57,791
Rock, Brock for the undisputed title,

00:00:57,857 --> 00:01:02,395
Triple H and Shawn Michaels,

["Medal" playing]

16
00:01:06,766 --> 00:01:08,768
[Tazz] Whoa, what a way
to kick it off, Cole,

17
00:01:08,835 --> 00:01:11,638
Olympic gold medal winner, Kurt Angle.

18
00:01:12,639 --> 00:01:14,174

00:01:17,444 --> 00:01:19,079

Kurt Angle!

26
00:01:32,792 --> 00:01:35,862
[Cole] We are right out of the chute
with the Olympic gold medalist.

00:01:35,929 --> 00:01:40,033
Michael Cole and Tazz at ringside,
we will be calling the SmackDown matches.

30
00:01:44,904 --> 00:01:46,539
But remember Kurt Angle's vow.

31
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:50,577
He vowed to break the ankle
of his opponent, Rey Mysterio,

32
00:01:50,643 --> 00:01:52,846
here tonight, at SummerSlam.

["619" playing]

00:01:56,416 --> 00:01:57,517
[Tazz] Here he comes!

35
00:02:01,387 --> 00:02:07,460
[announcer] And from San Diego,
California, weighing in at 175 pounds,

36
00:02:08,027 --> 00:02:10,296
-Rey Mysterio!
-[Tazz] Where is he? There he is!

37
00:02:10,363 --> 00:02:12,365
[Cole] Mysterio, from behind!

38
00:02:12,432 --> 00:02:15,802
-[Tazz] Turn around, Kurt!
-[Cole] Springboard into a hurricanrana!

39
00:02:15,869 --> 00:02:17,804
Mysterio is out of the chute.

40
00:02:17,871 --> 00:02:20,673
Kurt Angle! The leg scissors.

41
00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:23,443
No warming up
in the bullpen on SummerSlam.

42
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:25,612
[Cole] And a dropkick to the face
of Kurt Angle.

43
00:02:25,678 --> 00:02:29,782
And Rey Mysterio has caught
the Olympic gold medalist off guard.

44
00:02:29,849 --> 00:02:32,051
Much as he has the past few weeks.

45
00:02:32,118 --> 00:02:34,053
Mysterio whipped into the corner.

46
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,356
-[Tazz] Switch!
-[Cole] Angle went for a German.

47
00:02:36,422 --> 00:02:40,293
Mysterio reversed it, and quickly Kurt
Angle goes for the ankle or Rey Mysterio.

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,095
-[Tazz] Here it is!
-[Cole] Ankle Lock!

49
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:44,364
Can Rey Mysterio get to the ropes?

50
00:02:44,430 --> 00:02:46,733
[Tazz] Kurt Angle sending
a message right there.

51
00:02:46,799 --> 00:02:50,870
That he can pick that ankle, get that
Ankle Lock on Mysterio anytime he wants.

52
00:02:50,937 --> 00:02:54,140
[Cole] Well, Kurt Angle vowed
to break the ankle of Rey Mysterio.

53
00:02:54,207 --> 00:02:56,309
Drop toehold, Rey-Rey.

54
00:02:56,376 --> 00:02:57,944
-[Tazz] Here comes Mysterio.
-[Cole] Look!

55
00:02:58,011 --> 00:03:02,182
Starting off with a 619, and Kurt Angle
had him scouted perfectly,

56
00:03:02,248 --> 00:03:04,918
and now pulls Mysterio out of the ring.

57
00:03:04,984 --> 00:03:06,886
[Tazz] Almost pulled Mysterio's leg off.

58
00:03:06,953 --> 00:03:10,123
[Cole] Well, Kurt Angle has been extremely
frustrated, Tazz, in recent weeks.

59
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:13,626
He has been humiliated
and embarrassed by Rey Mysterio.

60
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:18,364
Mysterio not only owns a pinfall victory
over Angle in a tag team matchup,

61
00:03:18,431 --> 00:03:21,501
Mysterio's also cost Angle
a number of matches,

62
00:03:21,568 --> 00:03:23,670
including against Billy Kidman last week.

63
00:03:23,736 --> 00:03:26,005
[Tazz] Well, Kurt Angle's strategy,
in my opinion,

64
00:03:26,072 --> 00:03:29,776
has to be,
do not wrestle Mysterio's style of match.

65
00:03:29,842 --> 00:03:32,045
Angle needs to ground Mysterio.

66
00:03:32,111 --> 00:03:34,714
[Cole] Mysterio got Angle
counted out against Billy Kidman

67
00:03:34,781 --> 00:03:36,416
on SmackDown this past Thursday night.

68
00:03:36,482 --> 00:03:38,318
Kurt Angle very wary of that.

69
00:03:38,384 --> 00:03:41,554
You saw how quickly he got back into
the ring to break up the ten-count,

70
00:03:41,621 --> 00:03:44,791
and now he goes to work, oh,
with the suplex on Rey Mysterio.

71
00:03:44,857 --> 00:03:46,960
[Tazz] How about the courage
of Rey Mysterio,

72
00:03:47,026 --> 00:03:50,663
facing a man with
the credentials of Kurt Angle.

73
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:52,532
[crowd booing]

74
00:03:53,833 --> 00:03:56,703
Long Island no respect
for an American hero!

75
00:03:56,769 --> 00:04:00,640
[Cole] This crowd at Nassau Coliseum,
sold out, all over Kurt Angle,

76
00:04:00,707 --> 00:04:05,778
as Angle begins the ground-based attack
on the high-flying Rey Mysterio.

77
00:04:05,845 --> 00:04:07,347
Telegraphed that one.

78
00:04:07,413 --> 00:04:09,315
And Mysterio… Look at that.

79
00:04:09,382 --> 00:04:11,884
-[Tazz] German!
-[Cole] Whoa, what a German.

80
00:04:11,951 --> 00:04:15,321
Went for a cover,
but Rey Mysterio rolled onto his belly.

81
00:04:15,388 --> 00:04:18,091
[Tazz] Kurt Angle clasping those hands,
going for another German.

82
00:04:18,157 --> 00:04:19,559
Mysterio's blocking this.

83
00:04:19,626 --> 00:04:22,862
[Cole] Oh, and the shots now
to the lower back of Rey Mysterio.

84
00:04:22,929 --> 00:04:24,697
Look out, Angle's in trouble.

85
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:26,766
Can't make the ropes. Mysterio, cover!

86
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:28,968
Does he have him?
And a kick-out after two.

87
00:04:29,035 --> 00:04:31,838
-[Tazz] Oh!
-[Cole] And a clothesline by Kurt Angle.

88
00:04:31,904 --> 00:04:34,307
[Tazz] Kurt Angle's just too
flat-out strong for Mysterio.

89
00:04:34,374 --> 00:04:37,510
[Cole] Cover. Hook of the leg.
There's two! And Mysterio kicks out.

90
00:04:37,577 --> 00:04:41,781
[Tazz] Rey Mysterio's strategy obviously
has to be to avoid Kurt going low.

91
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,384
Avoid the Ankle Lock from Angle.

92
00:04:44,450 --> 00:04:46,786
[Cole] You know, Rey Mysterio
very cognizant of the fact

93
00:04:46,853 --> 00:04:48,855
that Kurt Angle
will go for the Ankle Lock.

94
00:04:48,921 --> 00:04:51,724
This is a fight for survival
for Rey Mysterio.

95
00:04:51,791 --> 00:04:54,961
Cover off the backbreaker,
and a kick-out after two.

96
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:57,030
[Tazz] Rey could frustrate Kurt Angle.

97
00:04:57,096 --> 00:05:00,466
He could maybe capitalize,
get Kurt Angle off his game

98
00:05:00,533 --> 00:05:02,368
by hitting one of those
big high-flying moves.

99
00:05:02,435 --> 00:05:05,271
That's if Angle could make a mistake.

100
00:05:05,338 --> 00:05:08,741
-[ref] One, two, three, four…
-[Cole] Now, Angle continues the pressure

101
00:05:08,808 --> 00:05:11,010
on the small of the back of Rey Mysterio.

102
00:05:11,544 --> 00:05:13,413
[Tazz] Kurt Angle pinpointed
that lower back.

103
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:15,715
-Stretching him out right there.
-[ref] Let him go. Now!

104
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:18,184
[Tazz] Back of the neck
right across the second rope,

105
00:05:18,251 --> 00:05:20,520
and the knee
in the small of Mysterio's back.

106
00:05:20,586 --> 00:05:23,022
[crowd chanting] Angle sucks!

107
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:27,627
[Tazz] The people saying Angle sucks
is just infuriating Angle,

108
00:05:27,694 --> 00:05:29,696
and Rey Mysterio paying the price.

109
00:05:29,762 --> 00:05:32,965
[Cole] I'll tell you, Kurt Angle is doing
what he needs to do against Rey Mysterio.

110
00:05:33,032 --> 00:05:35,735
We mentioned last week, Tazz,
that Kurt Angle has never faced

111
00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:39,339
a high-flying opponent
of the caliber of Rey Mysterio.

112
00:05:39,405 --> 00:05:43,209
Angle's gotta keep him on the ground,
and that's what he's doing early on.

113
00:05:44,777 --> 00:05:48,347
[Tazz] This is where Rey's making
a mistake, Kurt Angle overpowering…

114
00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:52,785
Kurt's making a mistake, actually.
He's just going at…

115
00:05:53,786 --> 00:05:55,221
People are all over Angle here.

116
00:05:55,288 --> 00:05:58,791
[Cole] All over Kurt Angle. And Mysterio's
quickness, ducks under the right hand.

117
00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:00,993
Mysterio with the forearms, battling back.

118
00:06:01,060 --> 00:06:04,297
There's the reversal.
Mysterio in the corner. Look at this!

119
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:07,467
Oh, and Kurt Angle gets him
in a backbreaker.

120
00:06:07,533 --> 00:06:10,169
-And Kurt Angle into the cover.
-[Tazz] This is it!

121
00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:13,473
[Cole] And Mysterio just kicked out.
I thought Angle had him.

122
00:06:13,539 --> 00:06:15,908
[Tazz] What do you have to
do to Mysterio to beat him?

123
00:06:15,975 --> 00:06:17,844
[Cole] You think Kurt Angle's a hypocrite?

124
00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:20,380
Always talking about Rey Mysterio…
Oh, wait a minute.

125
00:06:20,446 --> 00:06:25,351
Kurt Angle again, continues the pressure
on the back of Rey Mysterio.

126
00:06:25,418 --> 00:06:27,787
[Tazz] A half-Boston crab, that legbar,

127
00:06:27,854 --> 00:06:29,689
just completely torquing the knee,

128
00:06:29,756 --> 00:06:32,191
and stretching out
the lower back of Mysterio.

129
00:06:32,892 --> 00:06:35,461
[Cole] Now the reason for this,
as we told you earlier on,

130
00:06:35,528 --> 00:06:39,031
Kurt Angle claims he's gonna
make Rey Mysterio tap tonight.

131
00:06:39,098 --> 00:06:41,434
This is a submission maneuver here.

132
00:06:41,501 --> 00:06:44,170
The pressure continues
on the small of the back for Angle.

133
00:06:46,339 --> 00:06:49,842
[Tazz] Kurt hasn't been able
to beat Mysterio by submission thus far.

134
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:51,411
And you know, I'm not hoping for…

135
00:06:51,477 --> 00:06:53,813
[Cole] Look at Rey. He rolls him up.
He may have him here.

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,581
-Angle kicks out.
-[Tazz] Oh!

137
00:06:55,648 --> 00:06:57,517
[Cole] Angle follows up
with a clothesline.

138
00:06:57,583 --> 00:06:59,485
But that's that lightning quickness
of Mysterio.

139
00:06:59,552 --> 00:07:03,589
Cover by Angle. Hook of the leg.
And a kick-out by Rey Mysterio.

140
00:07:03,656 --> 00:07:06,459
[Tazz] This little guy won't die.
Mysterio's all heart.

141
00:07:06,526 --> 00:07:09,762
And Kurt Angle wants to
rip his heart out of his chest.

142
00:07:09,829 --> 00:07:11,431
[Cole] Angle's been frustrated

143
00:07:11,497 --> 00:07:13,800
and embarrassed
by Rey Mysterio in recent weeks.

144
00:07:13,866 --> 00:07:17,270
We mentioned the pinfall victory
Mysterio already holds over Kurt Angle

145
00:07:17,336 --> 00:07:18,671
in a tag team match.

146
00:07:18,738 --> 00:07:22,475
[Tazz] Kurt Angle is just having his way,
Cole, with Rey Mysterio.

147
00:07:22,542 --> 00:07:25,445
But Mysterio's tough to beat.
He's proven it.

148
00:07:26,612 --> 00:07:28,614
[crowd chanting] Angle sucks!

149
00:07:29,682 --> 00:07:33,386
[Cole] The "Angle sucks" chants
still at the Nassau Coliseum, yet again.

150
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:36,355
[Tazz] He don't look like he sucks to me.
Doing pretty damn good in there.

151
00:07:36,422 --> 00:07:40,860
[Cole] And there's that smirk, that
confident look on the face of Kurt Angle

152
00:07:40,927 --> 00:07:44,297
as he continues to methodically
pick apart Rey Mysterio.

153
00:07:44,363 --> 00:07:46,566
[Tazz] He's an American hero.
Of course he's confident.

154
00:07:46,632 --> 00:07:48,801
[Cole] Oh, look at that! The jawbreaker.

155
00:07:48,868 --> 00:07:51,370
Mysterio with a counter.
And now a forearm.

156
00:07:51,437 --> 00:07:55,308
Kurt Angle may have been caught off guard,
and Mysterio hopes to capitalize.

157
00:07:55,374 --> 00:07:58,044
But Rey-Rey's gotta fly
to have a chance in this match.

158
00:07:58,110 --> 00:08:00,346
[Tazz] Rey Mysterio bringing the fight
to Kurt Angle!

159
00:08:00,413 --> 00:08:02,915
[Cole] Over the top for the sunset flip.
Can he get him over? No.

160
00:08:02,982 --> 00:08:05,718
Kurt Angle missed with the right hand.
Hit the mat.

161
00:08:05,785 --> 00:08:07,320
-[Tazz] Oh!
-[Cole] Whoa!

162
00:08:07,386 --> 00:08:10,690
Throw. A belly-to-belly throw
by Kurt Angle,

163
00:08:10,756 --> 00:08:13,659
who again regains control,
and now he says it's done.

164
00:08:13,726 --> 00:08:17,029
[Tazz] Good night, Irene. Goodbye,
Mysterio, you put up a hell of a fight.

165
00:08:17,096 --> 00:08:18,664
That's the signal. This is the end.

166
00:08:18,731 --> 00:08:21,634
[Cole] Mysterio slowly to his feet.
Kurt Angle stalking his opponent.

167
00:08:21,701 --> 00:08:24,437
-[Tazz] Angle Slam!
-[Cole] Went for the Angle Slam… Arm drag!

168
00:08:24,503 --> 00:08:27,406
[Tazz] Man, can you believe that? Wicked!

169
00:08:27,473 --> 00:08:29,508
-Whoa!
-[Cole] Kurt Angle over the top rope!

170
00:08:29,575 --> 00:08:32,745
[Cole] Mysterio gains valuable time
to catch his breath.

171
00:08:32,812 --> 00:08:36,549
[Tazz] That's the mistake I was talking
about, Angle getting too cocky.

172
00:08:36,616 --> 00:08:40,219
[Cole] Will this mistake allow Mysterio
to regain his composure,

173
00:08:40,286 --> 00:08:43,723
and have a chance for
a huge upset over Kurt Angle?

174
00:08:43,789 --> 00:08:47,159
[Tazz] Mysterio's gotta shake it off…
Mysterio's gotta shake it off.

175
00:08:47,226 --> 00:08:49,195
-Now's the opportunity…
-You son of a bitch.

176
00:08:49,262 --> 00:08:50,229
[Cole] Take another look.

177
00:08:50,296 --> 00:08:53,099
Went for the Angle Slam.
Watch the arm drag by Mysterio.

178
00:08:53,165 --> 00:08:56,536
Mysterio just took Angle out
with a shot to the knees.

179
00:08:56,602 --> 00:08:58,004
And Rey-Rey's gonna fly…

180
00:08:58,070 --> 00:09:00,273
-And the referee says.
-[Tazz] What's wrong with that?

181
00:09:00,339 --> 00:09:02,341
-[crowd booing]
-[Cole] Referee trying to prevent--

182
00:09:02,408 --> 00:09:05,077
[Tazz] I agree with the people.
That's a crime.

183
00:09:05,144 --> 00:09:07,446
-Whoa, here comes Mysterio!
-[Cole] Whoa!

184
00:09:09,448 --> 00:09:12,885
Over the top rope, Rey Mysterio!

185
00:09:12,952 --> 00:09:16,889
[Tazz] A rolling heel right over
the top rope into Angle's kisser.

186
00:09:16,956 --> 00:09:20,826
[Cole] Sort of like a rolling senton,
and you gotta love Rey Mysterio.

187
00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:25,264
Check out the aerodynamic Rey Mysterio.

188
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:28,534
Uh oh, look at this!

189
00:09:29,035 --> 00:09:31,037
-Top rope. Mysterio!
-[Tazz] Oh!

190
00:09:31,103 --> 00:09:32,972
-[Cole] Springboard!
-[Tazz] This could do it!

191
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:36,108
[Cole] Off the leg drop.
And Angle just kicks out!

192
00:09:37,009 --> 00:09:40,012
This crowd fully behind Rey Mysterio.

193
00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:42,048
[Tazz] You gotta
take your hat off to Kurt Angle.

194
00:09:42,114 --> 00:09:44,650
Pure toughness
to kick out of that huge leg drop.

195
00:09:44,717 --> 00:09:47,086
[Cole] Mysterio's like
an amusement park ride.

196
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,523
You gotta keep your eye on him
up and down, all over the place.

197
00:09:50,589 --> 00:09:54,093
Mysterio through the open legs
of Kurt Angle. Shot to the midsection.

198
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,763
Angle looks to ground Mysterio again.
Look at this!

199
00:09:57,830 --> 00:09:59,031
[Tazz] It's bothered Angle.

200
00:09:59,098 --> 00:10:01,100
[Cole] Oh, face-first down The Ankle Lock.

201
00:10:01,167 --> 00:10:04,270
The Ankle Lock locked in by Mysterio,
who counters.

202
00:10:04,337 --> 00:10:05,538
[Tazz] Nice counter.

203
00:10:06,138 --> 00:10:07,573
[Cole] A tremendous counter.

204
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,343
-Oh, here we go. Brace yourself!
-[Tazz] 619!

205
00:10:10,409 --> 00:10:11,777
[Cole] 619 connects!

206
00:10:12,745 --> 00:10:14,914
Angle on dream street.

207
00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:18,184
[Tazz] Angle's up! Angle's up!
Look at this.

208
00:10:18,250 --> 00:10:21,087
[Cole] He's got him with
the West Coast Pop! He's got him!

209
00:10:21,153 --> 00:10:24,090
And Angle just kicked out
before the count of three.

210
00:10:24,156 --> 00:10:25,424
[Tazz] What a match!

211
00:10:25,491 --> 00:10:28,794
[Cole] Rey Mysterio connected with
a West Coast Pop,

212
00:10:28,861 --> 00:10:30,930
and Kurt Angle just kicked out.

213
00:10:30,997 --> 00:10:32,798
[Tazz] Get him, Rey. Go get him, Mysterio.

214
00:10:32,865 --> 00:10:34,867
Don't wait with Kurt Angle. Ow!

215
00:10:34,934 --> 00:10:38,371
[Cole] Heel kick to the chin.
And Mysterio, he can smell it.

216
00:10:38,437 --> 00:10:39,639
He can taste it.

217
00:10:39,705 --> 00:10:42,808
A huge upset on the horizon
for the cruiserweight.

218
00:10:42,875 --> 00:10:44,877
[Tazz] Oh no, Mysterio's going outside.

219
00:10:44,944 --> 00:10:47,947
In my opinion, Mysterio
should be going for a cover here, but…

220
00:10:48,614 --> 00:10:51,350
Mysterio wants to finish off Kurt Angle.

221
00:10:51,417 --> 00:10:53,285
[Cole] Mysterio to the top rope.

222
00:10:53,352 --> 00:10:55,154
Mysterio gonna fly.

223
00:10:55,221 --> 00:10:56,956
He's measuring Kurt Angle.

224
00:10:57,757 --> 00:10:59,125
Mysterio perched.

225
00:10:59,191 --> 00:11:00,493
-And Kurt Angle…
-[Tazz] Whoa!

226
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,129
[Cole] Looked like he was gonna go
for that running belly-to-belly.

227
00:11:03,195 --> 00:11:04,664
[Tazz] That's what he was doing. Ow!

228
00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:06,732
[Cole] A shot to the chin.

229
00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:08,300
I don't think Angle knows where he is.

230
00:11:08,367 --> 00:11:11,804
[Tazz] Kurt Angle's out of it, Cole.
Look at him. He's woozy.

231
00:11:12,605 --> 00:11:14,707
[Cole] Rey Mysterio,
what is he gonna do here?

232
00:11:14,774 --> 00:11:16,776
[Tazz] Who the hell knows? Look at this!

233
00:11:16,842 --> 00:11:19,679
[Cole] Went for a hurricanrana,
Angle countered!

234
00:11:19,745 --> 00:11:23,015
Ankle Lock! The Ankle Lock is locked in!

235
00:11:23,082 --> 00:11:25,618
[Tazz] Beautiful,
wicked counter by Kurt Angle!

236
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:27,687
[Cole] Kurt Angle vowed
to break the ankle.

237
00:11:27,753 --> 00:11:30,423
Mysterio stretching,
but can he get to the bottom rope?

238
00:11:30,489 --> 00:11:31,390
Not quite.

239
00:11:31,457 --> 00:11:35,661
[Tazz] Oh man. Kurt Angle's
got Rey in no man's land.

240
00:11:35,728 --> 00:11:38,698
[Cole] Mysterio taps out!
He had no choice.

241
00:11:38,764 --> 00:11:40,599
Mysterio tapped out to Angle.

242
00:11:40,666 --> 00:11:42,735
-["Medal" playing]
-[announcer] Here is your winner,

243
00:11:42,802 --> 00:11:44,937
Kurt Angle!

244
00:11:45,504 --> 00:11:50,743
[Cole] Kurt Angle picks up the win,
but what an effort by Rey Mysterio.

245
00:11:50,810 --> 00:11:53,212
He is a ton of dynamite.

246
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,648
[Tazz] Phenomenal outstanding matchup

247
00:11:55,714 --> 00:11:59,485
at the top of SummerSlam,
courtesy of SmackDown.

248
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:01,921
[Cole] Kurt Angle vowed to make
Rey Mysterio tap,

249
00:12:01,987 --> 00:12:03,756
and that he did with the Ankle Lock,

250
00:12:03,823 --> 00:12:06,525
but not before a number of close calls,

251
00:12:06,592 --> 00:12:10,196
including the 619 and the West Coast Pop,

252
00:12:10,262 --> 00:12:13,432
from the aerodynamic Rey Mysterio,

253
00:12:13,499 --> 00:12:15,434
-who gave it all he had.
-[Tazz] Whoa!

254
00:12:15,501 --> 00:12:18,604
That 619 right in the mug of Kurt Angle.

255
00:12:18,671 --> 00:12:21,307
[Cole] Then, of course, the West Coast Pop

256
00:12:21,373 --> 00:12:24,176
that almost won it for Rey Mysterio.

257
00:12:24,243 --> 00:12:27,146
[Tazz] Can't get any closer than that.
Very close call.

258
00:12:27,213 --> 00:12:30,750
But that Ankle Lock, just getting Mysterio

259
00:12:30,816 --> 00:12:32,051
to Tap-out City.

260
00:12:32,118 --> 00:12:33,853
[Cole] You gotta give props to Kurt Angle.

261
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:36,756
Kurt Angle almost got caught
in the hurricanrana.

262
00:12:36,822 --> 00:12:38,357
Countered into the Ankle Lock.

263
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:40,326
Mysterio could not make the ropes.

264
00:12:40,392 --> 00:12:43,395
Mysterio had no choice but to tap out.

265
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:46,232
[Tazz] Great matchup. Great matchup.

266
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,903
[Cole] Rey Mysterio put on
a hell of a performance here tonight.

267
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:53,439
But it's Kurt Angle and the ankle lock

268
00:12:53,506 --> 00:12:55,808
that gets things done at SummerSlam.

269
00:12:56,375 --> 00:12:57,810
I thought Rey was gonna win. Really.

270
00:12:57,877 --> 00:13:01,447
I know, well, see that's what
SmackDown is all about.

271
00:13:01,514 --> 00:13:05,050
SmackDown is so, by far,
the superior brand.

272
00:13:05,117 --> 00:13:10,289
You know what? You go tell
Eric Bischoff to try to top that match.

273
00:13:10,356 --> 00:13:11,290
Got it.

274
00:13:13,325 --> 00:13:14,293
[sighs]

275
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:22,701
What the hell

276
00:13:23,369 --> 00:13:25,738
are you doing in my office?

277
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:30,176
Ah, Stephanie McMahon,
a pleasure, to be sure.

278
00:13:30,242 --> 00:13:32,444
Whose pleasure, Eric? Certainly not mine.

279
00:13:32,511 --> 00:13:36,982
Oh, it's always mine. Besides,
Stephanie, that was the only door,

280
00:13:37,049 --> 00:13:39,318
and this is the only office
for a general manager tonight.

281
00:13:39,385 --> 00:13:41,187
Besides, we're on neutral ground,

282
00:13:41,253 --> 00:13:45,291
this is a pay-per-view,
what do you say we just share the office?

283
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:52,264
Well, since it is SummerSlam and both
Raw and Smackdown are represented,

284
00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:55,100
I think I'd like to see
the look on your face, Eric,

285
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:59,305
as you watch SmackDown reign supreme.

286
00:13:59,371 --> 00:14:01,740
Take out a pen, some paper,

287
00:14:02,441 --> 00:14:03,943
take some notes.

288
00:14:05,544 --> 00:14:08,380
King, I'll tell you, it's gonna be
a very interesting night

289
00:14:08,447 --> 00:14:11,483
with Eric Bischoff, our boss, and
Stephanie McMahon, the boss of SmackDown,

290
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:13,285
coexisting, or attempting to.

291
00:14:13,352 --> 00:14:14,787
But what a night it's gonna be.

292
00:14:14,853 --> 00:14:19,558
I know the superstars of Raw are
primed and ready for an awesome effort.

293
00:14:19,625 --> 00:14:24,330
Well, without a doubt
the rivalry is gonna erupt tonight,

294
00:14:24,396 --> 00:14:27,766
and we wanna welcome everybody
to the Raw portion of SmackDown…

295
00:14:27,833 --> 00:14:30,636
Not SmackDown,
of SummerSlam tonight, don't we?

296
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:32,705
-[JR] This is SummerSlam.
-[Lawler] Yeah, right.

[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

303
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:05,504
Introducing first,
from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada,

304
00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:08,674
weighing 227 pounds,

305
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:11,143
Chris Jericho!

306
00:15:11,810 --> 00:15:13,812
[JR] Well, King, I'll tell you what,

307
00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:18,384
the actions of Jericho and
"Nature Boy" Ric Flair last week on Raw,

308
00:15:18,450 --> 00:15:21,220
certainly brang this match to full circle.

309
00:15:21,287 --> 00:15:23,856
Jericho running down
"Nature Boy" Ric Flair,

310
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:26,458
and Flair taking another opportunity

311
00:15:26,525 --> 00:15:30,930
to really outsmart Jericho,
and embarrass Y2J.

312
00:15:30,996 --> 00:15:32,131
[Lawler] You got that right.

313
00:15:32,197 --> 00:15:35,167
Ric Flair's not called the dirtiest man
in the game for nothing.

314
00:15:35,234 --> 00:15:38,904
But, as you can see, Chris Jericho,

315
00:15:38,971 --> 00:15:40,739
he can get a little dirty himself.

316
00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:42,474
[JR] Jericho busting Ric Flair wide open.

317
00:15:42,541 --> 00:15:44,209
The blood was flowing.

318
00:15:44,276 --> 00:15:46,945
And Flair, then,
would make a triumphant return

319
00:15:47,012 --> 00:15:51,150
as Jericho's band Fozzy
was attempting to have a concert.

320
00:15:51,216 --> 00:15:54,920
Flair came out, destroyed the speakers,
destroyed the instruments,

321
00:15:54,987 --> 00:15:58,557
and Jericho had to be wondering,
"That's my band!"

322
00:15:58,624 --> 00:16:01,560
[Lawler] That was the straw, if you
ask me, that broke the camel's back,

323
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:03,295
as far as Jericho was concerned.

324
00:16:03,362 --> 00:16:05,898
I mean,
that's where Ric Flair went too far.

325
00:16:07,032 --> 00:16:09,201
[JR] Jericho wants
to physically dominate Flair.

326
00:16:09,268 --> 00:16:13,572
And gain retribution for Flair
disrupting that concert last week on Raw.

327
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:15,174
-[Flair] Woo!
-[Lawler] Whoa!

328
00:16:22,214 --> 00:16:23,615
There he is!

329
00:16:24,883 --> 00:16:27,519
[JR] Over 16-time World Champion.

330
00:16:29,455 --> 00:16:31,724
[announcer] From Charlotte,
North Carolina,

331
00:16:31,790 --> 00:16:34,827
weighing 234 pounds,

332
00:16:34,893 --> 00:16:39,465
"Nature Boy" Ric Flair!

333
00:16:39,531 --> 00:16:41,934
[JR] He is a 52-year-old legend,

334
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:46,005
believe it or not, making his
first-ever appearance at SummerSlam.

335
00:16:46,071 --> 00:16:48,574
The incomparable "Nature Boy" Ric Flair,

336
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,510
and I'm gonna believe, King,
I might be wrong here,

337
00:16:51,577 --> 00:16:55,948
that Chris Jericho is
absolutely eaten up with jealousy,

338
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:57,549
as it relates to Ric Flair.

339
00:16:58,250 --> 00:17:00,786
[Lawler] I don't know if there's
so much jealousy. That may…

340
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:03,255
It may have started out that way, JR,

341
00:17:03,322 --> 00:17:06,959
but you gotta understand, what Ric Flair
did last week with that concert…

342
00:17:07,025 --> 00:17:12,297
I mean, Fozzy, that was their opportunity
to become huge rock stars,

343
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:13,766
and then Flair screwed it all up.

344
00:17:13,832 --> 00:17:15,234
Not only that, he destroyed probably

345
00:17:15,300 --> 00:17:17,536
hundreds of thousands
of dollars' worth of equipment.

346
00:17:17,603 --> 00:17:21,173
[JR] Well, you gotta wonder if this match
is gonna come down to Flair's Figure Four,

347
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,509
and Jericho's Walls of Jericho.

348
00:17:24,343 --> 00:17:25,978
I talked to Jericho earlier today.

349
00:17:26,044 --> 00:17:29,882
He said he wanted
to impose his physical will on Ric Flair.

350
00:17:29,948 --> 00:17:32,084
He wanted
to dominate Ric Flair physically.

351
00:17:32,151 --> 00:17:33,352
-[Lawler] Oh!
-[JR] Flair.

352
00:17:33,419 --> 00:17:36,455
I don't know that Flair
can be intimidated.

353
00:17:36,955 --> 00:17:37,790
[Flair] Woo!

354
00:17:37,856 --> 00:17:41,126
[Lawler] He just… He just
slapped Jericho right in the mouth.

355
00:17:42,861 --> 00:17:45,798
[JR] Flair's legacy
certainly has been well-established.

356
00:17:45,864 --> 00:17:48,233
A Hall of Fame competitor,
no doubt about that.

357
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:51,070
Cover by Flair. Not wasting any time.

358
00:17:51,570 --> 00:17:53,505
Jericho's legacy still to be written.

359
00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:59,445
Jericho, however, has the distinction of
being the first ever Undisputed Champion,

360
00:17:59,511 --> 00:18:03,982
and on one night, Jericho defeated
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock

361
00:18:04,049 --> 00:18:05,818
to become the Undisputed Champion,

362
00:18:05,884 --> 00:18:08,253
and that's something
not too many people can ever say.

363
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,156
[Lawler] "Too many?" Nobody in the history
of the business can say that.

364
00:18:11,723 --> 00:18:12,858
[Jericho] You son of a bitch?

365
00:18:12,925 --> 00:18:16,328
[Lawler] I'm just trying to figure out
what Jericho's gonna be best known for.

366
00:18:16,395 --> 00:18:19,631
Is gonna be the biggest wrestler in
the game, or the huge rock star?

367
00:18:19,698 --> 00:18:22,134
-Look out!
-[JR] Oh my God. High back body drop.

368
00:18:22,201 --> 00:18:26,638
My suggestion there would be, he'd
better stick to his day job of wrestling.

369
00:18:26,705 --> 00:18:30,342
That's only my opinion.
Nice knockdown by Jericho.

370
00:18:30,409 --> 00:18:32,778
[Lawler] Wait,
you're not saying you didn't like Fozzy?

371
00:18:32,845 --> 00:18:34,346
You didn't appreciate that music?

372
00:18:34,413 --> 00:18:37,716
[JR] I'm not a connoisseur
of their style of music, shall we say.

373
00:18:38,484 --> 00:18:40,886
Certainly not in a position
to critique it, but I--

374
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:43,255
[Lawler] You don't like
good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll?

375
00:18:43,322 --> 00:18:44,556
[JR] Is that what that was?

376
00:18:44,623 --> 00:18:46,458
[Lawler] A little harder version.

377
00:18:46,525 --> 00:18:48,160
[JR] Jericho can't find the elbow.

378
00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:50,529
-Ric Flair, the hard knife-edge chop.
-[crowd] Woo!

379
00:18:50,596 --> 00:18:53,398
[JR] One of the signature maneuvers
of "Nature Boy" Ric Flair.

380
00:18:53,465 --> 00:18:57,236
Nobody does it with more intensity,
or more force and velocity,

381
00:18:57,302 --> 00:18:58,270
than Flair.

382
00:18:58,971 --> 00:19:01,440
-[Lawler] Look out here!
-[JR] They're in great shape.

383
00:19:01,507 --> 00:19:03,375
[Lawler] Speaking of great shape,
look at this!

384
00:19:03,442 --> 00:19:05,244
[JR] Jericho skinning the cat.

385
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:06,778
-[JR exclaims]
-[crowd] Woo!

386
00:19:07,346 --> 00:19:09,948
[JR] Like a bolt of electricity
going through your body.

387
00:19:10,749 --> 00:19:11,850
[crowd] Woo!

388
00:19:11,917 --> 00:19:17,156
[JR] There are those hard chops,
already discoloring the chest of Y2J.

389
00:19:17,222 --> 00:19:18,557
And Flair with rights and lefts.

390
00:19:18,624 --> 00:19:22,828
This one is not about championships,
as so many of our contests will be.

391
00:19:22,895 --> 00:19:24,763
It is so personal

392
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:29,401
between the so-called, self-professed
king of the world, Chris Jericho,

393
00:19:29,468 --> 00:19:32,137
and the living legend in Ric Flair.

394
00:19:32,204 --> 00:19:36,074
Hard chop by Jericho,
taking a page out of Flair's book.

395
00:19:36,141 --> 00:19:37,743
[Lawler] Uh oh, look out here.

396
00:19:38,277 --> 00:19:39,945
[JR] Flair upside-down.

397
00:19:41,647 --> 00:19:44,416
-And Jericho now.
-[Lawler] Oh, man!

398
00:19:44,483 --> 00:19:47,386
[JR] Hard to believe that Jericho
was only two years old

399
00:19:47,452 --> 00:19:50,122
when Flair made his professional debut.

400
00:19:50,188 --> 00:19:51,456
Flair is an amazing…

401
00:19:51,523 --> 00:19:54,259
He's gonna have a wing
in the Hall of Fame named after him.

402
00:19:54,993 --> 00:19:56,995
[Lawler] He may be in a wing of a hospital

403
00:19:57,062 --> 00:19:59,898
before Chris Jericho gets
through with him tonight.

404
00:19:59,965 --> 00:20:02,901
-[JR] No doubt that'd be Jericho's wish.
-[Lawler] Oh, boy. Here we go.

405
00:20:03,802 --> 00:20:06,371
[JR] And Jericho
pulling back that padding,

406
00:20:06,972 --> 00:20:10,175
exposing the security wall,
and you see exactly where Flair went.

407
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:14,613
And Jericho, a clubbing blow,
on the back of the veteran,

408
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,381
from Charlotte, North Carolina.

409
00:20:16,448 --> 00:20:18,850
By way of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

410
00:20:19,418 --> 00:20:22,321
[Lawler] This could be it for Ric.
Ooh, man, he got him.

411
00:20:22,387 --> 00:20:23,822
Oh, God!

412
00:20:24,323 --> 00:20:25,524
[JR] And Flair, you could hear,

413
00:20:26,558 --> 00:20:28,627
-is in a…
-[Lawler] Right into our cameraman there.

414
00:20:28,694 --> 00:20:30,128
[JR] …great deal of distress

415
00:20:30,195 --> 00:20:32,497
after that high-impact move by Jericho,

416
00:20:32,564 --> 00:20:35,500
who tosses Flair back in.
You can't win on the outside.

417
00:20:36,335 --> 00:20:38,971
-[Jericho] Oh yeah. Come on, Flair.
-[JR] Referee Charles Robinson

418
00:20:39,037 --> 00:20:41,340
knows he has his hands full
with this very emotional match,

419
00:20:41,406 --> 00:20:45,744
on a night where emotion seems to be
the common denominator.

420
00:20:46,878 --> 00:20:49,881
Hard right hand, again,
knocking down Ric Flair.

421
00:20:49,948 --> 00:20:54,820
And thus far, King, Chris Jericho's goal
of physically dominating Flair

422
00:20:54,886 --> 00:20:56,655
-is coming through.
-[Lawler] Right.

423
00:20:56,722 --> 00:21:00,592
You can see he's not in any hurry
to go for any pinfalls or end this match.

424
00:21:00,659 --> 00:21:01,994
He wants to dominate Flair.

425
00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:03,929
He wants to send a message,
not only to Flair,

426
00:21:03,996 --> 00:21:06,665
but to everybody
that he is the king of the world now.

427
00:21:06,732 --> 00:21:10,135
[JR] Flair getting knocked was getting
back up, after that last right hand

428
00:21:10,202 --> 00:21:12,304
put Flair down pretty hard, pretty strong.

429
00:21:12,371 --> 00:21:13,939
-And Flair fights back.
-[crowd] Woo!

430
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:16,141
Woo!

431
00:21:16,642 --> 00:21:19,611
[JR] The legendary Ric Flair
with those knife-edge chops

432
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:22,014
-finding their marks.
-[Flair grunting]

433
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,783
[JR] Flair went right into
that reverse elbow.

434
00:21:24,850 --> 00:21:26,518
-Jericho waiting on Flair.
-[Lawler] Oh man!

435
00:21:26,585 --> 00:21:28,353
[JR] Jericho into the air.

436
00:21:28,420 --> 00:21:31,023
Jericho, hook of the leg.
Could be it here!

437
00:21:31,089 --> 00:21:33,091
And Ric Flair able to kick out.

438
00:21:33,892 --> 00:21:35,927
And Jericho again, pressing the issue.

439
00:21:36,428 --> 00:21:37,863
Trying to fatigue Ric Flair,

440
00:21:37,929 --> 00:21:40,532
which is no small feat, let me tell you.

441
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:43,335
Flair one of the most cardiovascular…

442
00:21:43,402 --> 00:21:45,804
-[Lawler] Uh oh, what do we got here now.
-Get off the buckle!

443
00:21:45,871 --> 00:21:47,572
-One! Two!
-[JR] …pure athletes in the WWE,

444
00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:49,441
-and now Jericho…
-Get out of there.

445
00:21:50,709 --> 00:21:52,944
[JR] Trying to gain an unfair advantage.
Wait a minute.

446
00:21:53,011 --> 00:21:55,480
-[Lawler] What is this?
-[JR] Jericho choking Flair.

447
00:21:55,547 --> 00:21:59,017
Taking that tape off his wrist,
and is choking Flair.

448
00:21:59,084 --> 00:22:03,155
Referee Charles Robinson
trying to put that turnbuckle pad back on.

449
00:22:04,389 --> 00:22:07,592
In the meantime,
Flair's oxygen being robbed of him

450
00:22:08,226 --> 00:22:10,829
by Chris Jericho, and Flair fighting back.

451
00:22:11,463 --> 00:22:14,332
[Lawler] Gotta admit, Jericho pulled off
a great distraction job

452
00:22:14,399 --> 00:22:15,834
there on the referee didn't he?

453
00:22:15,901 --> 00:22:16,968
[JR] He certainly did.

454
00:22:17,035 --> 00:22:18,570
[Lawler] Ooh, wow. What a shot.

455
00:22:18,637 --> 00:22:20,505
[JR] Very bright move by Jericho.

456
00:22:20,572 --> 00:22:23,308
And Flair right back up.
Flair refusing to stay down.

457
00:22:24,309 --> 00:22:27,079
And again another knockdown by Ric Flair.

458
00:22:27,145 --> 00:22:32,184
Jericho as aggressive and as physical
as we have ever seen him here tonight.

459
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:35,153
[Lawler] He's trying to prove to you,
he's the king of the world.

460
00:22:35,220 --> 00:22:37,189
-I'm the king of the world.
-[Lawler] Hear that?

461
00:22:37,255 --> 00:22:39,257
[JR] I heard him. He says it all the time.

462
00:22:39,791 --> 00:22:40,859
Oh, man.

463
00:22:41,326 --> 00:22:44,529
That lower back, again knocking
the air out of Ric Flair.

464
00:22:45,497 --> 00:22:47,632
-Flair in 1975…
-Come on, you son of a bitch!

465
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:49,434
[JR] …in an airplane crash,
broke his back.

466
00:22:50,502 --> 00:22:52,304
Made a miraculous comeback

467
00:22:52,804 --> 00:22:55,807
to etch one of
the most star-studded careers,

468
00:22:55,874 --> 00:22:58,744
and history-making careers
in our business history.

469
00:22:58,810 --> 00:23:01,546
And another suplex
on that lower back by Chris Jericho.

470
00:23:01,613 --> 00:23:04,516
[Lawler] Many more of those, and Flair
will think he's back on the airplane.

471
00:23:05,417 --> 00:23:06,785
This could do it right here.

472
00:23:06,852 --> 00:23:08,420
[JR] Jericho, the young man,

473
00:23:09,588 --> 00:23:12,057
who hails from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

474
00:23:13,391 --> 00:23:15,927
And Jericho taking
a little bit too much time.

475
00:23:15,994 --> 00:23:17,763
And the king of the world may be…

476
00:23:18,797 --> 00:23:20,365
-May be…
-[Lawler] Oh!

477
00:23:20,966 --> 00:23:22,267
[JR] …uncrowned here.

478
00:23:24,636 --> 00:23:26,838
Hard slam off the top, and now,

479
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:29,207
Flair trying to pull himself back up.

480
00:23:29,274 --> 00:23:31,610
Flair knows he's got an opportunity here

481
00:23:31,676 --> 00:23:34,012
to regain the offensive advantage.

482
00:23:35,347 --> 00:23:36,214
Jericho is down.

483
00:23:36,281 --> 00:23:39,918
Flair having problems navigating
back up to his vertical base.

484
00:23:44,289 --> 00:23:45,557
Here comes…

485
00:23:45,624 --> 00:23:48,627
-[Lawler] Look out.
-[JR] Jericho striking that ring post.

486
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:50,829
And a hard chop again by Flair.

487
00:23:50,896 --> 00:23:51,897
-[crowd] Woo!
-[JR] Flair,

488
00:23:51,963 --> 00:23:53,398
dancing with what brung him here.

489
00:23:53,465 --> 00:23:56,368
[Lawler] He is determined,
he's gonna chop Jericho's head off.

490
00:23:56,435 --> 00:23:57,836
And then… Look out!

491
00:23:57,903 --> 00:24:00,338
[JR] A back body drop,
this time, by Flair.

492
00:24:00,405 --> 00:24:02,641
Lifting Jericho up to the lights.

493
00:24:03,475 --> 00:24:05,610
[Lawler] He can still pull out that strut.

494
00:24:05,677 --> 00:24:08,280
[JR] Flair, again,
focusing on that lower back.

495
00:24:08,346 --> 00:24:09,481
With a suplex.

496
00:24:09,548 --> 00:24:11,183
And now Flair, looking for the cover.

497
00:24:11,249 --> 00:24:12,217
Can't lock his hands.

498
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:15,454
And that gave Jericho
the opportunity to kick out.

499
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,155
Flair couldn't get those hands locked.

500
00:24:18,323 --> 00:24:19,324
[Lawler] Ho ho!

501
00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:22,527
[JR] Flair turning away
from the referee, using that closed fist.

502
00:24:22,594 --> 00:24:24,229
He's the dirtiest player in the game.

503
00:24:24,296 --> 00:24:25,797
He's said there were many occasions.

504
00:24:25,864 --> 00:24:28,900
And Flair trying a vertical suplex.
Jericho, he countered.

505
00:24:29,401 --> 00:24:31,937
-It could be the Walls of Jericho.
-[Lawler] He's going for it!

506
00:24:33,705 --> 00:24:36,408
[JR] We thought going in
it could be a matchup of

507
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:39,477
the Figure Four vs the Walls of Jericho.

508
00:24:40,345 --> 00:24:42,314
-[Lawler] Oh, look out!
-[JR] It's that cradle.

509
00:24:42,380 --> 00:24:46,017
The inside cradle by Flair,
who got a near fall out of the count.

510
00:24:46,084 --> 00:24:47,619
-[Jericho shouting]
-[Flair grunting]

511
00:24:47,686 --> 00:24:50,255
[JR] Jericho again,
beating Flair back up to his feet.

512
00:24:51,022 --> 00:24:53,158
Striking Flair with a clothesline.

513
00:24:53,225 --> 00:24:54,593
And a hard chop!

514
00:24:54,659 --> 00:24:57,162
[Lawler] Now Jericho returning the favor.
Listen to that!

515
00:25:00,065 --> 00:25:01,833
[JR] Irish whip by Jericho,

516
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:05,704
and a modified bulldog
taking Flair face down.

517
00:25:06,905 --> 00:25:09,708
And Jericho back in the driver's seat,
if you will.

518
00:25:10,575 --> 00:25:12,811
-And Jericho… Oh, looking--
-[Lawler] There's nobody home!

519
00:25:12,878 --> 00:25:16,047
[JR] Looking for that lionsault, King,
nobody there, as you pointed out.

520
00:25:16,114 --> 00:25:17,616
Flair, that one well-scouted.

521
00:25:18,917 --> 00:25:21,253
And Jericho walked in again.

522
00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:22,721
-Look at that chop!
-[crowd] Woo!

523
00:25:23,321 --> 00:25:26,191
-[JR] Jericho's chest is a crimson red.
-[Lawler] Look at this!

524
00:25:27,659 --> 00:25:29,027
[JR] And now, Flair…

525
00:25:29,094 --> 00:25:32,397
Looked like Flair was trying for
the Walls, he's got a half-Boston crab…

526
00:25:32,464 --> 00:25:35,934
-[Flair screams]
-[JR] …on Jericho, who counters.

527
00:25:36,001 --> 00:25:37,669
-And now…
-[Lawler] Look at this!

528
00:25:38,570 --> 00:25:42,073
[JR] Jericho, with the Figure Four!

529
00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:44,709
And what a hell of a way
to beat Ric Flair,

530
00:25:44,776 --> 00:25:46,912
with his own patented finishing maneuver,

531
00:25:46,978 --> 00:25:48,313
the Figure Four Leglock.

532
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,717
[Lawler] That would put the… That would
put the crowning jewel in his crown.

533
00:25:52,784 --> 00:25:56,688
He would be the king of the world if
he makes Flair submit to the Figure Four!

534
00:25:56,755 --> 00:25:59,257
[JR] Can you imagine
what Jericho would say?

535
00:25:59,324 --> 00:26:03,695
Forever and a day,
if he beats Ric Flair at SummerSlam…

536
00:26:03,762 --> 00:26:06,965
-[Lawler] We'd never hear the end of it.
-[JR] …with Flair's own Figure Four!

537
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:08,800
[Flair groaning]

538
00:26:09,301 --> 00:26:12,637
[JR] Flair has utilized this maneuver
for so many championships.

539
00:26:12,704 --> 00:26:15,840
So many victories.
It is a painful maneuver.

540
00:26:15,907 --> 00:26:19,377
Putting pressure
on seven different points of both legs.

541
00:26:19,444 --> 00:26:22,881
[Lawler] Oh, Flair trying to get
to the ropes, but he can't make it!

542
00:26:23,381 --> 00:26:25,884
He might as well go ahead
and just give up!

543
00:26:25,951 --> 00:26:29,220
-Submit, Flair!
-[JR] Well, this is a shocker here.

544
00:26:29,287 --> 00:26:31,523
Jericho using Flair's Figure Four.

545
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:32,924
Flair writing in pain.

546
00:26:32,991 --> 00:26:35,527
[Lawler] It'd be no embarrassment
losing to the king of the world.

547
00:26:36,027 --> 00:26:37,762
-[Flair groaning]
-[Jericho] Give up!

548
00:26:37,829 --> 00:26:40,198
[JR] Flair trying. He's near the ropes.

549
00:26:40,265 --> 00:26:42,901
Flair in the ropes. Wait… Did…

550
00:26:42,968 --> 00:26:44,869
Flair tapped
but he was in the ropes though.

551
00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:45,770
[referee] No! No!

552
00:26:45,837 --> 00:26:47,272
[JR] Ric Flair was in the ropes.

553
00:26:47,339 --> 00:26:48,773
-He grabbed the rope.
-He tapped out.

554
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,842
[Lawler] Yeah, I think he was
in the ropes first.

555
00:26:50,909 --> 00:26:52,911
He grabbed the ropes first.

556
00:26:52,978 --> 00:26:57,315
[JR] Well, Jericho thought that Flair
tapped out, but Flair was in the ropes.

557
00:26:59,351 --> 00:27:01,920
And now Jericho,
right back on the advantage here.

558
00:27:03,254 --> 00:27:05,256
-[Jericho yelling]
-[Lawler] Oh man!

559
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,025
[JR] He was in the ropes first.

560
00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:10,128
And Jericho got hung up there.

561
00:27:11,663 --> 00:27:13,498
-[crowd] Woo!
-[JR] And Flair got a reprieve

562
00:27:13,565 --> 00:27:15,133
by being so close to the ropes.

563
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,501
Oh, Charles Robinson.

564
00:27:16,568 --> 00:27:18,670
[Lawler] Did he get hit by the chop,
or by Jericho?

565
00:27:18,737 --> 00:27:19,904
[JR] I think Jericho got him.

566
00:27:19,971 --> 00:27:20,839
[both exclaiming]

567
00:27:20,905 --> 00:27:23,742
[JR] Oh, the referee…
The referee didn't see that low blow.

568
00:27:23,808 --> 00:27:26,177
[Lawler] You know who got
the king of the world.

569
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:30,148
[JR] Flair just…
He just broke the king's jewels!

570
00:27:30,715 --> 00:27:33,418
And now Flair
with a Figure Four on Jericho!

571
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:35,353
-[Lawler] Look at this!
-[JR] Jericho's tapping!

572
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:36,888
Jericho is tapping!

573
00:27:36,955 --> 00:27:40,492
Ric Flair has made Jericho tap
in the Figure Four Leglock.

574
00:27:40,558 --> 00:27:44,295
[announcer] Here is your winner,
"Nature Boy" Ric Flair!

575
00:27:44,362 --> 00:27:46,231
[Lawler] What happened, King?

576
00:27:46,297 --> 00:27:47,465
The king of the…

577
00:27:48,366 --> 00:27:50,802
[JR] Jericho might have been
king for a day,

578
00:27:50,869 --> 00:27:52,337
but not this day.

579
00:27:52,404 --> 00:27:56,608
Because this day belonged to
"Nature Boy" Ric Flair,

580
00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:58,376
and his Figure Four Leglock!

581
00:27:58,443 --> 00:28:00,678
[triumphant music playing]

582
00:28:02,213 --> 00:28:04,582
[Lawler] Yeah, but I don't know
about this call now.

583
00:28:04,649 --> 00:28:08,086
The more I think about it,
Flair had already tapped out, JR.

584
00:28:08,153 --> 00:28:11,022
[JR] I think Flair was in the ropes first,
King, I disagree with that.

585
00:28:11,089 --> 00:28:14,059
I did see Flair tapping,
I'm not going to deny that.

586
00:28:14,125 --> 00:28:16,294
I think he was in the ropes first.

587
00:28:16,995 --> 00:28:18,663
[Lawler] I wouldn't have
disagreed with that

588
00:28:18,730 --> 00:28:21,232
until I saw now Flair gets his victory,
I gotta…

589
00:28:21,299 --> 00:28:22,867
I don't know about this.

590
00:28:23,501 --> 00:28:26,071
Let's check it out.
Can we look at that one more time?

591
00:28:26,137 --> 00:28:27,439
[JR] Let's go back to the…

592
00:28:28,006 --> 00:28:29,307
closing moments.

593
00:28:29,374 --> 00:28:31,509
[Lawler] All right, watch his right hand.
Watch it tap.

594
00:28:31,576 --> 00:28:33,578
[JR] Look at his left hand first.

595
00:28:33,645 --> 00:28:35,246
Where's… Left hand in the ropes.

596
00:28:35,747 --> 00:28:38,183
[Lawler] I was watching his right hand.
He's tapping like crazy.

597
00:28:38,249 --> 00:28:40,919
[JR] He was tapping like crazy.
But he was in the ropes first.

598
00:28:40,985 --> 00:28:44,389
A split-second passed,
and then the Figure Four locked in

599
00:28:44,456 --> 00:28:45,824
in the center of the ring.

600
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:47,792
Nowhere for Jericho to go.

601
00:28:47,859 --> 00:28:50,428
Nothing for Jericho to do but tap out.

602
00:28:53,198 --> 00:28:55,133
[Lawler] I still can't believe this.

603
00:28:56,167 --> 00:28:58,636
[JR] Jericho is absolutely irate.

604
00:28:58,703 --> 00:29:00,705
Jericho thought Flair tapped.

605
00:29:02,207 --> 00:29:03,675
[music fades out]

606
00:29:06,911 --> 00:29:09,514
-Did you see that? Brock did you see that?
-What?

607
00:29:09,581 --> 00:29:13,218
Hulk Hogan,
it's like when a musician dies,

608
00:29:13,284 --> 00:29:16,087
and the record labels
release the "Best Of."

609
00:29:16,154 --> 00:29:18,356
The best of Hulk Hogan. Why?

610
00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:20,358
Because his career is dead.

611
00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:24,295
Dead at the hands of you, Brock Lesnar.

612
00:29:24,362 --> 00:29:27,432
Tonight, it's the same thing
with The Rock's title reign.

613
00:29:27,499 --> 00:29:29,834
Okay? You gotta take this guy out.

614
00:29:29,901 --> 00:29:32,370
You gotta murder his title reign.

615
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:34,539
Why? Because he's different.

616
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:37,208
He's The Brahma Bull.
He's The People's Champ.

617
00:29:37,275 --> 00:29:39,577
He's The Rock.
You're already inside his head.

618
00:29:39,644 --> 00:29:41,980
You're inside his head,
half the battle is won.

619
00:29:42,046 --> 00:29:44,516
Make no mistake about it,
this guy's driven.

620
00:29:44,582 --> 00:29:46,885
This guy's gonna come at you
with everything he's got.

621
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:49,621
He feels like he is almost the challenger.

622
00:29:49,687 --> 00:29:51,322
Like he's the underdog.

623
00:29:51,389 --> 00:29:54,058
Take advantage of it.
Hit him. Hit him hard.

624
00:29:54,125 --> 00:29:57,562
Take him out early, and we leave tonight,

625
00:29:57,629 --> 00:30:01,666
the Undisputed Heavyweight
Champion of the World.

626
00:30:02,233 --> 00:30:04,002
You are The Next Big Thing!

627
00:30:04,068 --> 00:30:08,706
And tonight,
The Next Big Thing will arrive.

628
00:30:11,142 --> 00:30:12,243
[chuckling]

629
00:30:13,111 --> 00:30:14,579
[guitar rock playing]

630
00:30:14,646 --> 00:30:18,116
[Cole] Will The Next Big Thing
arrive tonight?

631
00:30:18,183 --> 00:30:22,086
SummerSlam, live from
the sold-out Nassau Coliseum

632
00:30:22,153 --> 00:30:23,721
on Long Island, New York.

633
00:30:23,788 --> 00:30:27,091
Still to come, Brock Lesnar
versus The Rock

634
00:30:27,158 --> 00:30:29,260
for the Undisputed Title.

635
00:30:29,828 --> 00:30:32,530
[man] Latino heat!

636
00:30:32,597 --> 00:30:34,599
["Latino Heat" playing]

637
00:30:39,571 --> 00:30:40,538
[bell ringing]

638
00:30:40,605 --> 00:30:43,641
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

639
00:30:43,708 --> 00:30:46,144
Making his way to the ring,
from El Paso, Texas,

640
00:30:46,211 --> 00:30:48,813
weighing in at 228 pounds,

641
00:30:49,314 --> 00:30:51,449
Eddie Guerrero.

642
00:30:51,516 --> 00:30:54,452
[Cole] We thank the fans around the world
for joining us for SummerSlam,

643
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:56,521
live in over 50 countries tonight,

644
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:59,090
including the United Kingdom
and Australia.

645
00:30:59,157 --> 00:31:00,491
-[Tazz] Brooklyn.
-[Cole] Red Hook.

646
00:31:00,558 --> 00:31:01,926
[Tazz] Big up to the Red Hook.

647
00:31:01,993 --> 00:31:05,763
[Cole] And Latino Heat, Eddie Guerrero,
is extremely focused

648
00:31:05,830 --> 00:31:07,465
heading into this matchup tonight.

649
00:31:08,032 --> 00:31:12,537
For Eddie Guerrero, there is one word
which describes the way he feels

650
00:31:12,604 --> 00:31:13,538
for his opponent, Edge.

651
00:31:13,605 --> 00:31:16,074
That word is jealousy.

652
00:31:16,140 --> 00:31:17,775
[Tazz] Oh, I beg to differ.

653
00:31:17,842 --> 00:31:20,645
If you're Latino Heat, man,
you got it all.

654
00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:22,714
You don't gotta be jealous of anybody.

655
00:31:22,780 --> 00:31:25,984
That suave bolo Latino
thing he's got going on.

656
00:31:26,050 --> 00:31:28,052
["Never Gonna Stop" playing]

657
00:31:28,119 --> 00:31:30,121
[crowd cheering loudly]

658
00:31:34,292 --> 00:31:40,098
[announcer] And from Toronto, Ontario,
weighing in at 241 pounds,

659
00:31:40,164 --> 00:31:41,633
Edge!

660
00:31:41,699 --> 00:31:46,938
[Cole] Listen to the Edgeheads applauding
the future of SmackDown.

661
00:31:47,005 --> 00:31:50,808
And as Edge likes to say,
the future is now.

662
00:31:50,875 --> 00:31:54,078
[Tazz] Well, I spoke to Edge
earlier today, Cole. He is pumped up.

663
00:31:54,145 --> 00:31:56,547
Primed and ready for Guerrero tonight.

664
00:31:56,614 --> 00:32:00,285
He was fired up
to be here in Long Island on SummerSlam.

665
00:32:04,756 --> 00:32:07,191
Edge's strategy in this match, Cole,

666
00:32:07,258 --> 00:32:09,360
It should be frustrate Eddie Guerrero.

667
00:32:09,427 --> 00:32:13,431
Get that temper…
That Latin temper of Eddie Guerrero going.

668
00:32:13,498 --> 00:32:16,034
Get Guerrero of his game if you're Edge.

669
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,603
[Cole] Well, Eddie Guerrero
has doubted for weeks

670
00:32:18,670 --> 00:32:21,572
that Edge has ever
delivered the Spear to him.

671
00:32:21,639 --> 00:32:24,876
Well, I think Eddie Guerrero
has selective memory.

672
00:32:24,943 --> 00:32:27,078
[Tazz] I think Guerrero
drank too much of that tequila.

673
00:32:27,145 --> 00:32:29,647
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero and Edge
set to lock up

674
00:32:29,714 --> 00:32:33,384
one-on-one in what will be
a very exciting matchup.

675
00:32:33,451 --> 00:32:36,187
We talked about the jealousy
of Eddie Guerrero for Edge.

676
00:32:36,254 --> 00:32:39,223
Guerrero is jealous over the fact
that Edge is popular.

677
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:41,926
That Edge is a sex symbol, so to speak.

678
00:32:41,993 --> 00:32:44,696
Eddie can't handle this
because he's Latino Heat.

679
00:32:44,762 --> 00:32:46,864
[Tazz] One guy's not a sex symbol,
that's true.

680
00:32:46,931 --> 00:32:49,534
[Cole] Oh, look out. Oh!
Face-first goes Eddie Guerrero.

681
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,637
And Edge takes early control
in the beginning of this matchup.

682
00:32:52,704 --> 00:32:56,574
[Tazz] Both men were trying to feel each
other out a bit with some chain wrestling.

683
00:32:56,641 --> 00:32:58,242
Edge came out on top.

684
00:32:59,377 --> 00:33:03,314
[Cole] Edge the 2001 King of the Ring.

685
00:33:03,381 --> 00:33:06,951
We've talked about the success
Edge has had as a tag team wrestler,

686
00:33:07,018 --> 00:33:09,821
very successful as a singles star as well.

687
00:33:10,988 --> 00:33:12,690
And Eddie Guerrero… Oh, look at Edge.

688
00:33:12,757 --> 00:33:14,492
Eddie's in trouble… But look, Eddie…

689
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:16,160
[Tazz] Tremendous balance. Nice!

690
00:33:16,227 --> 00:33:18,930
[Cole] Landing on that apron,
into a neckbreaker off that top rope.

691
00:33:18,996 --> 00:33:20,398
[Tazz] Never seen one done that way.

692
00:33:20,465 --> 00:33:22,834
Reverse on the top…
Back of the neck on the top rope.

693
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:27,939
[Cole] Well, Eddie Guerrero and his family
a virtual who's who of wrestling history.

694
00:33:28,005 --> 00:33:31,275
[Tazz] That intensity of Guerrero
we talk about week in and week out,

695
00:33:31,342 --> 00:33:35,580
on Thursday night on SmackDown
that Guerrero brings the intensity.

696
00:33:35,646 --> 00:33:37,749
[Cole] Well, Eddie,
the youngest of four brothers.

697
00:33:38,583 --> 00:33:41,719
Of course, Chavo, his nephew
is currently wrestling here in the WWE.

698
00:33:41,786 --> 00:33:44,422
-Over the top. Leapfrog by Edge.
-[Tazz] Monkey flip!

699
00:33:44,489 --> 00:33:47,125
[Cole] Eddie is launched
halfway across the ring.

700
00:33:48,326 --> 00:33:50,228
[Tazz] Edge wants Guerrero up.
Here comes Guerrero!

701
00:33:50,294 --> 00:33:53,064
-Oh! There goes Guerrero.
-[Cole] First cover of the matchup.

702
00:33:53,131 --> 00:33:55,400
Hook of the leg, and a kick-out.

703
00:33:55,466 --> 00:33:59,904
Two bright stars. Two stars
you will only see on SmackDown

704
00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:00,972
right here in the ring.

705
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:03,975
[Tazz] Both men, Edge and Guerrero,
very similar styles…

706
00:34:04,042 --> 00:34:06,444
This is a little shady maneuver
Edge is going for here,

707
00:34:06,511 --> 00:34:08,646
trying to tie Guerrero up in the ropes.

708
00:34:08,713 --> 00:34:11,616
[Cole] Well, Edge very intense.
Very aggressive here tonight.

709
00:34:11,682 --> 00:34:13,051
-Eddie Guerrero…
-[Tazz] Whoa-ho-ho.

710
00:34:13,117 --> 00:34:15,019
[Cole] A shoulder delivered to the ribs.

711
00:34:15,086 --> 00:34:16,988
-And Edge gonna go for it.
-[Tazz] Another one!

712
00:34:17,054 --> 00:34:19,290
[Cole] Two in a row, nobody home. As Edge…

713
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:22,060
flies through the second rope,
landing outside the ring.

714
00:34:22,126 --> 00:34:25,329
[Tazz] Edge landed hard, went for
that other… Some kind of Spear.

715
00:34:25,396 --> 00:34:28,833
Took a little stinger in his hand there,
trying to shake something off.

716
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:30,668
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero now on the attack.

717
00:34:30,735 --> 00:34:32,336
This is the thing about Eddie Guerrero.

718
00:34:32,403 --> 00:34:34,639
-He wastes little time.
-[Tazz] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

719
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,409
Look at this. Look at Edge.
I think he's hurt.

720
00:34:38,476 --> 00:34:41,179
That's not going to stop Guerrero.
There's no timeouts here.

721
00:34:41,245 --> 00:34:44,682
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero on the attack
like a rabid dog.

722
00:34:44,749 --> 00:34:48,152
Eddie Guerrero begins to attack,
which now looks to be…

723
00:34:48,219 --> 00:34:50,188
[Tazz] Look at this! Oh-ho-ho.

724
00:34:50,254 --> 00:34:53,491
[Cole] …the injured left shoulder of Edge,
I believe.

725
00:34:53,558 --> 00:34:57,862
As we take another look at how I think
Edge tweaked his shoulder in this matchup.

726
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:00,431
[Tazz] Take a look here.
Edge, right on the outside.

727
00:35:00,498 --> 00:35:02,200
Right there, he torqued his shoulder up.

728
00:35:02,266 --> 00:35:04,836
[Cole] Now, that left shoulder, Tazz,
if I'm not mistaken,

729
00:35:04,902 --> 00:35:07,939
is the shoulder that Edge
injured in the steel cage match,

730
00:35:08,005 --> 00:35:09,774
delivering the Spear to Kurt Angle.

731
00:35:09,841 --> 00:35:12,310
[Tazz] That's right.
Weeks ago on SmackDown.

732
00:35:12,376 --> 00:35:13,945
Guerrero doing his homework.

733
00:35:14,512 --> 00:35:15,913
Edge hurt on the outside,

734
00:35:15,980 --> 00:35:19,350
and now Guerrero like a shark that
smells that blood in the water.

735
00:35:19,417 --> 00:35:20,885
Yum-yum, he's gonna get some.

736
00:35:20,952 --> 00:35:23,955
[Cole] Well, Edge was out for about
a month with that shoulder injury,

737
00:35:24,021 --> 00:35:27,725
and again, Eddie Guerrero
torquing the left shoulder of Edge.

738
00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:30,962
And this what Eddie Guerrero…
What he brings to the dance.

739
00:35:31,028 --> 00:35:33,498
He picks out a body part,
he realizes it's injured,

740
00:35:33,564 --> 00:35:35,633
now he will go on the attack.

741
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:37,568
He will be relentless to Edge.

742
00:35:37,635 --> 00:35:40,037
[Tazz] No doubt. No doubt. Wrestling 101.

743
00:35:40,104 --> 00:35:42,106
Guerrero with the point of the elbow.

744
00:35:42,173 --> 00:35:44,809
Right in the AC joint, rotator cuff area

745
00:35:45,343 --> 00:35:46,410
of Edge's shoulder.

746
00:35:46,477 --> 00:35:49,447
[Cole] And Eddie Guerrero, up to the
second rope. Now up to the top rope.

747
00:35:49,514 --> 00:35:50,681
[Tazz] What's he gonna do?

748
00:35:51,816 --> 00:35:52,850
[Cole] Look at this!

749
00:35:52,917 --> 00:35:56,187
Oh, man.
The force driven into the shoulder.

750
00:35:56,254 --> 00:35:58,689
Here's the hook of the leg.
Could have him. Edge kicks out.

751
00:35:58,756 --> 00:36:02,894
Tazz, I'm… I know when you wrestled,
you suffered a very serious neck injury.

752
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,330
When you come back from an injury,
whether it's the neck or the shoulder,

753
00:36:06,397 --> 00:36:08,733
how difficult is it
to stay out of trouble?

754
00:36:08,799 --> 00:36:10,801
How easy is it
to toy with an injury like that?

755
00:36:10,868 --> 00:36:12,870
[Tazz] Let's check out this impact first.

756
00:36:12,937 --> 00:36:15,940
It's very easy to revisit an injury.

757
00:36:16,007 --> 00:36:19,477
Especially when a guy like Guerrero
is going to suck right into that.

758
00:36:19,544 --> 00:36:23,047
You see that figure four hammerlock,
that reverse hammerlock,

759
00:36:23,114 --> 00:36:25,783
really torquing the shoulder of Edge.

760
00:36:26,417 --> 00:36:27,618
He's got that baby in tight.

761
00:36:27,685 --> 00:36:30,688
[Cole] So if Edge just tweaked his
shoulder when he went through the ropes,

762
00:36:30,755 --> 00:36:33,191
Guerrero's going to make sure
it's more than tweaked right here.

763
00:36:33,257 --> 00:36:34,659
[Tazz] Look at the eyes of Guerrero.

764
00:36:34,725 --> 00:36:35,927
Get a closeup of those eyes,

765
00:36:35,993 --> 00:36:38,596
you can see the intensity,
that rage that burns in Guerrero.

766
00:36:38,663 --> 00:36:40,898
He wants to rip that shoulder
right off the bone.

767
00:36:40,965 --> 00:36:42,900
[Cole] This is an important matchup
for Guerrero.

768
00:36:42,967 --> 00:36:44,602
Eddie Guerrero and Chris…
Now look at Edge.

769
00:36:44,669 --> 00:36:47,972
Edge desperately trying to make it
to the bottom rope and he does.

770
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:52,577
Forcing Guerrero, at least for the moment,
to break the hold on Edge.

771
00:36:52,643 --> 00:36:55,112
[Tazz] He gets to the ropes,
and then those knees and those boots

772
00:36:55,179 --> 00:36:58,316
just a relentless attack
from Guerrero right on the injury.

773
00:36:58,382 --> 00:36:59,817
Smart. Smart wrestling.

774
00:36:59,884 --> 00:37:01,886
[Cole] Very little wasted motion
by Eddie Guerrero.

775
00:37:01,953 --> 00:37:04,822
[Tazz] None. That's why Guerrero,
all these years, has been so successful.

776
00:37:05,323 --> 00:37:07,992
[Cole] The thing about Guerrero,
and why this is important, Tazz,

777
00:37:08,059 --> 00:37:10,461
is the fact that Guerrero and Benoit,
a couple of weeks back,

778
00:37:10,528 --> 00:37:13,030
defected from Raw, coming to SmackDown.

779
00:37:13,097 --> 00:37:16,534
It was a huge coup for general manager
Stephanie McMahon of SmackDown,

780
00:37:16,601 --> 00:37:19,437
and Eddie Guerrero looking
to prove it here tonight,

781
00:37:19,503 --> 00:37:22,073
why he's here from the Raw side.

782
00:37:22,506 --> 00:37:25,076
[Tazz] Well, Guerrero and Benoit
both wanted competition,

783
00:37:25,142 --> 00:37:28,212
and Guerrero's got some very stiff
competition with Edge.

784
00:37:28,279 --> 00:37:31,048
Right there with that hammerlock.
Actually, a crossface chicken wing,

785
00:37:31,115 --> 00:37:32,316
gets applied now.

786
00:37:32,383 --> 00:37:35,419
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero continues
the pressure on the left shoulder of Edge.

787
00:37:35,486 --> 00:37:37,888
And how much more can this kid take?

788
00:37:37,955 --> 00:37:41,225
How much more can Edge take
on a shoulder that

789
00:37:41,292 --> 00:37:44,528
was already injured and knocked him
out of competition for a month.

790
00:37:44,595 --> 00:37:47,999
[Tazz] We know Edge is triple-tough.
Ain't no doubt about it.

791
00:37:48,065 --> 00:37:52,303
And Guerrero knows that.
Guerrero is doing the smart strategy here.

792
00:37:52,370 --> 00:37:54,171
Just wear down your opponent.

793
00:37:54,672 --> 00:37:57,141
[Cole] Wear him down?
He's trying to seriously injure him.

794
00:37:57,208 --> 00:38:00,411
[Tazz] What do you want me to tell you?
Wear him down, injure him, it's the same.

795
00:38:00,478 --> 00:38:02,947
[Cole] Arm goes down this time
it is all over.

796
00:38:03,014 --> 00:38:06,250
And Edge keeps the arm up,
as he battles back with shots to the ribs.

797
00:38:06,317 --> 00:38:08,486
-[Tazz] Snap mare.
-[Cole] A snap mare takedown by Edge.

798
00:38:08,552 --> 00:38:10,454
And Eddie Guerrero quickly.

799
00:38:10,521 --> 00:38:13,624
[Tazz] Floating over to an ankle pick,
right into a Fujiwara armbar.

800
00:38:13,691 --> 00:38:16,560
And look at that shoulder. That arm is…

801
00:38:16,627 --> 00:38:21,198
Look at that! He's just bending
that joint right out of place.

802
00:38:21,265 --> 00:38:23,634
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero
trying to pull that shoulder.

803
00:38:23,701 --> 00:38:25,803
[Tazz] Listen, man, you can't explain
what that…

804
00:38:25,870 --> 00:38:27,872
I've had that done to me,
and I've done that to guys,

805
00:38:27,938 --> 00:38:31,609
you can't explain to the average person
what that feels like. Big-time pain.

806
00:38:31,676 --> 00:38:33,978
-[Cole] All you have to do…
-[Edge screaming]

807
00:38:34,045 --> 00:38:36,347
…is look in the eyes and listen to Edge.

808
00:38:36,414 --> 00:38:37,748
[Tazz] That armbar is in.

809
00:38:38,316 --> 00:38:41,686
Guerrero is dominating this match
the right way.

810
00:38:41,752 --> 00:38:43,587
Take that wing right off the man.

811
00:38:44,155 --> 00:38:47,224
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero continues
to apply pressure

812
00:38:47,291 --> 00:38:49,293
to a shoulder injury
that was tweaked earlier on.

813
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,928
[Tazz] Just stays right on the arm,

814
00:38:50,995 --> 00:38:54,498
right into a top wrist lock, as Edge is
on his back, floating over,

815
00:38:54,565 --> 00:38:57,234
putting all his weight
across the top of Edge's body.

816
00:38:57,301 --> 00:39:00,671
[Cole] And, again, each one of these
submission maneuvers, so to speak,

817
00:39:00,738 --> 00:39:03,674
by Eddie, continues to torque
that injured shoulder of Edge.

818
00:39:03,741 --> 00:39:05,409
Just in different ways, right?

819
00:39:05,476 --> 00:39:08,179
[Tazz] That's exactly what he's doing.
Bending the joint over. Oh!

820
00:39:08,245 --> 00:39:10,614
[Cole] Big knockdown
by Eddie Guerrero off the clothesline.

821
00:39:10,681 --> 00:39:12,116
But now Guerrero… Look at Edge!

822
00:39:12,183 --> 00:39:14,852
I don't know how he had
any strength in the shoulder to do that.

823
00:39:14,919 --> 00:39:17,154
[Tazz] Look, he just sucked it up,
Edge did.

824
00:39:17,221 --> 00:39:18,589
But now Edge is paying the price.

825
00:39:18,656 --> 00:39:20,725
But if you're Edge, what else can you do?

826
00:39:20,791 --> 00:39:22,727
[Cole] Edge, all right-handed
in that scoop slam.

827
00:39:22,793 --> 00:39:25,062
Went to the left hand
just to balance Guerrero.

828
00:39:25,129 --> 00:39:26,630
But it took a lot out of Edge.

829
00:39:26,697 --> 00:39:29,867
[Tazz] Guerrero's gonna
come right back to that injury. Oh!

830
00:39:29,934 --> 00:39:34,071
[Cole] And Edge, all guts as he tries
to battle back with the clothesline.

831
00:39:34,138 --> 00:39:35,973
[Tazz] One arm he's battling back.

832
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,842
Oh! Nice back drop.

833
00:39:37,908 --> 00:39:41,011
[Cole] Edge is a one-armed man.
You hit it, Tazz.

834
00:39:41,078 --> 00:39:42,480
And Edge…

835
00:39:42,546 --> 00:39:45,916
Oh! And Eddie Guerrero
with an elbow to the face.

836
00:39:46,851 --> 00:39:49,320
And Latino Heat hoping to fire up,

837
00:39:49,386 --> 00:39:51,989
and take advantage
of the injured Edge in this matchup.

838
00:39:52,056 --> 00:39:54,859
-[Tazz] Looking for that…
-[Cole] Face first goes Eddie Guerrero.

839
00:39:54,925 --> 00:39:57,061
-[Tazz] Cover him!
-[Cole] Hooks the outside leg.

840
00:39:57,128 --> 00:39:59,964
Got him! No. Eddie Guerrero kicked out.

841
00:40:00,531 --> 00:40:02,032
[Tazz] Gotta give it up for Edge, man.

842
00:40:02,099 --> 00:40:04,335
Showed a lot of toughness there
by hitting that faceplant.

843
00:40:04,402 --> 00:40:06,404
[Cole] But how much does he have left?
I mean really?

844
00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:10,107
[Tazz] He ain't done yet, Cole. We've seen
this kid. He's got tons of fight.

845
00:40:10,174 --> 00:40:13,144
[Cole] Look at this!
Eddie Guerrero tossed over the top rope.

846
00:40:13,210 --> 00:40:17,448
This is important. This will allow
Edge to gain valuable time

847
00:40:17,515 --> 00:40:20,151
to at least try to get some
of the numbness out of that shoulder.

848
00:40:20,217 --> 00:40:22,286
[Tazz] Maybe Edge should be
disqualified for that.

849
00:40:22,353 --> 00:40:25,022
-[Cole] Why?
-[Tazz] Vertical fall off the top rope.

850
00:40:25,089 --> 00:40:27,458
-The ref's counting.
-[Cole] Now where's he going?

851
00:40:27,525 --> 00:40:29,894
[Tazz] The top rope,
where the hell do you think he's going?

852
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,930
-[Cole] Edge up top, Eddie Guerrero--
-[Tazz] Oh no!

853
00:40:32,997 --> 00:40:34,799
[Cole] Edge knocking Guerrero down.

854
00:40:34,865 --> 00:40:38,335
A high-risk maneuver, and Edge
may have injured the left shoulder again.

855
00:40:38,402 --> 00:40:40,771
[Tazz] Edge leaving it all
in the ring right there,

856
00:40:40,838 --> 00:40:44,442
well, outside of the ring, in this
matchup, trying to just ground Guerrero.

857
00:40:44,508 --> 00:40:48,212
[Cole] It looked like Edge drove that left
shoulder into the chest of Eddie Guerrero.

858
00:40:48,279 --> 00:40:51,982
The impact may have re-injured Edge.
Let's see if he did or not on this replay.

859
00:40:52,049 --> 00:40:55,653
[Tazz] We'll get a good look with this
camera shot. Oh! Yeah, right on it.

860
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,155
[Cole] He landed on it as well
as he hit the mat below.

861
00:40:58,222 --> 00:41:01,625
[Tazz] Edge is 6'4", 241 pounds,
right on the ground.

862
00:41:01,692 --> 00:41:03,394
[Cole] Eddie again,
struggling to his feet.

863
00:41:03,461 --> 00:41:04,562
Edge to the top rope.

864
00:41:04,628 --> 00:41:05,796
And Eddie Guerrero quickly.

865
00:41:05,863 --> 00:41:08,966
Realizes his chance is now
to try to cut Edge off at the pass,

866
00:41:09,033 --> 00:41:11,836
-and regain control of the match.
-[Tazz] That's right. Exactly right.

867
00:41:11,902 --> 00:41:15,272
Guerrero right here is probably gonna
hit a big superplex or something.

868
00:41:16,073 --> 00:41:16,974
From the top.

869
00:41:17,041 --> 00:41:19,677
[Cole] The crowd beginning to rumble,
beginning to come alive,

870
00:41:19,743 --> 00:41:21,645
for Edge as he delivers
the shots to the ribs.

871
00:41:21,712 --> 00:41:24,815
[Tazz] Edge, fighting back. Guerrero,
trying to get his footing on that rope.

872
00:41:24,882 --> 00:41:26,884
-Trying to counter. It ain't gonna work!
-[Cole] Oh!

873
00:41:26,951 --> 00:41:30,888
Face-first, both men down,
can Edge capitalize?

874
00:41:30,955 --> 00:41:32,656
[Tazz] Top him, Edge. Top him!

875
00:41:32,723 --> 00:41:34,592
[Cole] He rolls Eddie over. Hooks the leg.

876
00:41:34,658 --> 00:41:37,928
He's got him! He's got him. And Eddie
Guerrero just gets the shoulder up.

877
00:41:37,995 --> 00:41:40,097
[Tazz] You gotta figure if Edge is up,

878
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:42,600
and that shoulder
has not been eaten up by Guerrero,

879
00:41:42,666 --> 00:41:44,969
he could have cradled him better
with that cover.

880
00:41:45,035 --> 00:41:47,037
[Cole] And Edge in the corner.

881
00:41:47,104 --> 00:41:49,106
-[Tazz] We've seen--
-[Cole] Stalking Eddie Guerrero.

882
00:41:49,173 --> 00:41:50,908
[Tazz] That's right, my man. Spear time!

883
00:41:50,975 --> 00:41:52,676
Edge wants some Spear!

884
00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:54,478
It's coming!

885
00:41:54,545 --> 00:41:57,314
[Cole] And Eddie Guerrero,
bigtime kick to the chin!

886
00:41:57,381 --> 00:41:59,383
Guerrero had Edge scouted perfectly.

887
00:41:59,450 --> 00:42:01,785
[Tazz] Not to the chin,
I gotta correct you. To the shoulder.

888
00:42:01,852 --> 00:42:05,623
Both feet. Right… Like a sharpshooter.

889
00:42:05,689 --> 00:42:08,459
[Cole] But that's the wherewithal
of Eddie Guerrero, playing possum.

890
00:42:08,526 --> 00:42:11,195
-And now Guerrero, top rope!
-[Tazz] Frog Splash!

891
00:42:11,262 --> 00:42:15,466
[Cole] Frog Splash! But it was countered.
Knees to the midsection by Edge.

892
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:19,103
[Tazz] Now's the time, Edge.
Hit a big move and cover Guerrero.

893
00:42:19,169 --> 00:42:21,205
[Cole] Edge looking to capitalize.

894
00:42:21,272 --> 00:42:23,374
Face first, the Edgecution.

895
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,242
The Edgecution, connected.

896
00:42:25,309 --> 00:42:26,410
[Tazz] This could be it!

897
00:42:26,477 --> 00:42:27,912
-[crowd counting]
-[Cole] There's two!

898
00:42:27,978 --> 00:42:29,780
-[Tazz] Three!
-[Cole] Kicks out!

899
00:42:29,847 --> 00:42:32,016
-[Tazz laughing] Oh, man.
-[Cole] Edge can't believe it.

900
00:42:32,082 --> 00:42:35,219
I don't think anyone's ever
kicked out of the Edgecution before.

901
00:42:35,286 --> 00:42:38,656
[Tazz] I can't believe it.
How the hell did Guerrero do it?

902
00:42:38,722 --> 00:42:41,592
First missing a Frog Splash,
then the Edgecution.

903
00:42:41,659 --> 00:42:44,161
[Cole] What does Edge have to do
to take Guerrero out?

904
00:42:44,228 --> 00:42:46,230
[Tazz] What does Guerrero
gotta do to take out Edge?

905
00:42:46,297 --> 00:42:48,599
[Cole] Counters, snap suplex,
here's the bridge, the cover,

906
00:42:48,666 --> 00:42:51,001
-and a kick-out.
-[Tazz] Beautiful Northern Lights there.

907
00:42:51,969 --> 00:42:53,504
Get on him, Guerrero. Get on him.

908
00:42:53,571 --> 00:42:56,140
[Cole] Guerrero again with a neckbreaker.

909
00:42:56,206 --> 00:43:00,077
-Delivering it to Edge.
-[Tazz] Now the Frog Splash, Cole.

910
00:43:00,144 --> 00:43:01,745
Great strategy by Guerrero.

911
00:43:01,812 --> 00:43:05,549
[Cole] Latino Heat,
climbing slowly to the top rope.

912
00:43:05,616 --> 00:43:07,484
-[Tazz] Edge is up!
-[Cole] Edge to his feet.

913
00:43:07,551 --> 00:43:09,086
And Edge with a right hand.

914
00:43:09,653 --> 00:43:11,822
[Tazz] This Edge.
Loaded with fight, and heart,

915
00:43:11,889 --> 00:43:14,024
-and intestinal fortitude.
-[Cole] All guts.

916
00:43:14,091 --> 00:43:15,225
It's all guts for Edge.

917
00:43:15,292 --> 00:43:18,162
[Tazz] Nice headbutts. Good toughness.
I like that by Guerrero.

918
00:43:18,228 --> 00:43:21,031
[Cole] Headbutts to the shoulder.
To the injured shoulder of Edge.

919
00:43:21,098 --> 00:43:22,700
[Tazz] About ten or 12!

920
00:43:22,766 --> 00:43:24,134
[Cole] Edge knocked down.

921
00:43:24,201 --> 00:43:26,670
And Eddie Guerrero to the top rope.

922
00:43:26,737 --> 00:43:29,306
-[Tazz] What's Guerrero gonna do?
-[Cole] Guerrero.

923
00:43:29,940 --> 00:43:32,376
-The injured shoulder!
-[Tazz] He had to break his shoulder.

924
00:43:32,443 --> 00:43:33,978
[Cole] The cover! It's over!

925
00:43:34,044 --> 00:43:35,746
-[Tazz] And Edge…
-[Cole] Kicked out!

926
00:43:35,813 --> 00:43:37,414
[Tazz] Whoo, man.

927
00:43:37,481 --> 00:43:41,385
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero delivered a Frog
Splash to the injured shoulder of Edge.

928
00:43:41,452 --> 00:43:43,454
Guerrero's saying,
"How the hell did he kick out?"

929
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,224
[Tazz] How the hell is Edge's shoulder
not hanging on one end of the ring?

930
00:43:47,291 --> 00:43:48,492
[Cole] I think it is!

931
00:43:48,559 --> 00:43:50,627
[Tazz] Look at, now, Guerrero going in.

932
00:43:50,694 --> 00:43:53,197
Big time intensity
on that injured shoulder.

933
00:43:53,263 --> 00:43:55,733
[Cole] Guerrero, he doesn't want
to hurt the shoulder here,

934
00:43:55,799 --> 00:43:57,267
he wants to amputate it.

935
00:43:57,334 --> 00:43:58,836
And now a shot to the knee.

936
00:43:58,902 --> 00:44:01,305
And Edge… Guerrero knocked down.

937
00:44:01,372 --> 00:44:02,840
Edge, off the ropes.

938
00:44:02,906 --> 00:44:04,541
[both] Spear!

939
00:44:04,608 --> 00:44:06,276
-[Cole] Spear!
-[Tazz] Cover, that's it!

940
00:44:06,343 --> 00:44:08,045
-[Cole] Hook of the leg!
-[Tazz] Two! Three!

941
00:44:08,112 --> 00:44:09,647
[Cole] What a win by Edge!

942
00:44:09,713 --> 00:44:12,149
-What a win by Edge.
-["Never Gonna Stop" playing

943
00:44:12,216 --> 00:44:14,852
[announcer] Here's your winner, Edge!

944
00:44:15,552 --> 00:44:20,157
[Cole] Can you believe the guts,
the resilience of Edge?

945
00:44:20,924 --> 00:44:23,560
[Tazz] Big up, big up, big up
to Edge, man.

946
00:44:23,627 --> 00:44:25,229
And the Edgeheads are loving it.

947
00:44:25,295 --> 00:44:28,866
Great job. Great match.
by both competitors. Great athletes.

948
00:44:28,932 --> 00:44:31,335
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero had
the perfect game plan.

949
00:44:31,402 --> 00:44:33,704
To pick apart an injured shoulder.

950
00:44:33,771 --> 00:44:38,742
And Edge, with that shoulder literally
hanging by a thread,

951
00:44:38,809 --> 00:44:42,012
somehow able to reach deep down inside,

952
00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:45,983
and deliver an unbelievable Spear
to Eddie Guerrero.

953
00:44:46,050 --> 00:44:50,621
[Tazz] No doubt, Edge was sticking…
Sticking Latino Heat with that Spear.

954
00:44:50,688 --> 00:44:53,991
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero,
there's now no denying it.

955
00:44:54,058 --> 00:44:57,528
Latino Heat, you have now been Speared.

956
00:45:00,998 --> 00:45:04,001
[narrator] We are not
considered a pastime.

957
00:45:04,568 --> 00:45:09,306
Contract disputes don't determine
the outcome of our season.

958
00:45:10,974 --> 00:45:14,745
Negotiations are handled
a little differently in this arena.

959
00:45:16,647 --> 00:45:18,515
When two sides have a problem,

960
00:45:19,950 --> 00:45:21,618
it's taken care of

961
00:45:22,252 --> 00:45:24,254
face-to-face.

962
00:45:24,755 --> 00:45:27,091
World Wrestling Entertainment.

963
00:45:27,157 --> 00:45:29,860
Our season never ends.

964
00:45:33,163 --> 00:45:35,165
-Gentlemen, in just a few moments…
-[crowd booing]

965
00:45:35,232 --> 00:45:40,270
…defend your WWE Tag Team Titles
against Booker T and Goldust.

966
00:45:40,337 --> 00:45:41,872
-Your thoughts.
-Our thoughts?

967
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:44,441
Our thoughts are that we can't wait.

968
00:45:44,508 --> 00:45:48,245
We can't wait to expose
Booker T and Goldust

969
00:45:48,312 --> 00:45:50,681
for the American shams that they are.

970
00:45:50,748 --> 00:45:54,184
The only problem is,
we have to do it here in Long Island.

971
00:45:55,486 --> 00:45:56,687
What do you mean by that?

972
00:45:56,754 --> 00:46:00,224
What we mean by that, is we've performed
in cities all over this country,

973
00:46:00,290 --> 00:46:03,460
and this Long Island crowd
typifies American audiences.

974
00:46:03,527 --> 00:46:04,828
They're lazy,

975
00:46:04,895 --> 00:46:06,330
unappreciative,

976
00:46:06,396 --> 00:46:08,665
unresponsive and spoiled.

977
00:46:09,466 --> 00:46:10,901
And the sickening part about it,

978
00:46:11,368 --> 00:46:15,973
is they'll all be sitting on their hands
while athletes like myself and Lance

979
00:46:16,039 --> 00:46:18,575
will be performing at a world class level.

980
00:46:19,510 --> 00:46:21,745
Because just like greedy Americans,

981
00:46:22,746 --> 00:46:24,314
they're always wanting more.

982
00:46:25,115 --> 00:46:26,383
If they want more

983
00:46:27,317 --> 00:46:28,385
we'll give 'em more.

984
00:46:29,787 --> 00:46:34,958
More of the Un-Americans
as WWE Tag Team Champions.

985
00:46:35,926 --> 00:46:37,561
[crowd booing]

986
00:46:38,962 --> 00:46:41,231
[Booker T] Can you dig it, sucka?

987
00:46:41,298 --> 00:46:43,300
["Can You Dig It?" playing]

988
00:46:53,043 --> 00:46:56,280
Can you dig it, sucka?

989
00:47:03,053 --> 00:47:06,623
I'll tell you what, King. It's getting
very hot here for the Un-Americans.

990
00:47:06,690 --> 00:47:08,525
Almost as hot
as where we're sitting right now.

991
00:47:08,592 --> 00:47:10,561
-[Lawler] Wow!
-[JR] Booker T and Goldust.

992
00:47:10,661 --> 00:47:13,564
Not only are they competing
for themselves and their families,

993
00:47:13,630 --> 00:47:16,266
I think they're competing
for an entire country here tonight.

994
00:47:16,333 --> 00:47:19,703
[Lawler] Well, you heard the Un-Americans,
they say that, uh,

995
00:47:19,770 --> 00:47:22,839
they think the fans here in America
are unappreciative,

996
00:47:22,906 --> 00:47:24,808
I don't think they're gonna appreciate

997
00:47:24,875 --> 00:47:27,444
what Booker T and Goldust
are gonna do to those guys, tonight.

998
00:47:29,413 --> 00:47:31,248
I don't think they like anybody, anywhere.

999
00:47:31,315 --> 00:47:32,916
-["We Salute" playing]
-[bell ringing]

1000
00:47:32,983 --> 00:47:36,019
[announcer] The following contest,
scheduled for one fall,

1001
00:47:36,086 --> 00:47:40,757
is for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

1002
00:47:40,824 --> 00:47:43,026
Introducing from Canada,

1003
00:47:43,093 --> 00:47:46,129
at a combined weight of 455 pounds,

1004
00:47:46,196 --> 00:47:50,067
the WWE Tag Team Champions,

1005
00:47:50,133 --> 00:47:52,903
Christian, Lance Storm,

1006
00:47:52,970 --> 00:47:55,105
The Un-Americans.

1007
00:47:55,172 --> 00:47:57,074
[JR] Well, ladies and gentlemen,
as you can see,

1008
00:47:57,140 --> 00:48:00,544
another display of disrespect to the USA.

1009
00:48:00,611 --> 00:48:03,380
The Old Glory being flown upside-down.

1010
00:48:03,447 --> 00:48:06,049
The universal symbol of distress.

1011
00:48:08,552 --> 00:48:10,854
And I tell you, this turns my stomach.

1012
00:48:10,921 --> 00:48:13,357
As I have said,
I have been very vocal about

1013
00:48:13,423 --> 00:48:17,127
these Un-Americans
and their un-American activities.

1014
00:48:17,861 --> 00:48:19,563
So much disrespect.

1015
00:48:20,063 --> 00:48:23,500
These men have
a total disdain for all Americans.

1016
00:48:23,567 --> 00:48:25,869
[Lawler] Oh, but they're from Canada, JR,

1017
00:48:26,603 --> 00:48:29,573
where, well, you know, where the start
of moose season is a national holiday.

1018
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,775
They got a lot to be proud of there.

1019
00:48:31,842 --> 00:48:35,078
Well, we got a lot of great fans
in Canada, King, I'll tell you that,

1020
00:48:35,145 --> 00:48:38,615
I don't know who these two men
really, truly represent.

1021
00:48:38,682 --> 00:48:41,652
Maybe just the people
they see in the mirror every morning.

1022
00:48:41,718 --> 00:48:45,822
In any event, the WWE Tag Team Title's
on the line here.

1023
00:48:46,323 --> 00:48:48,458
Four competitors from Raw.

1024
00:48:48,525 --> 00:48:51,828
[Lawler] These jerks don't have a problem
spending the money they make in the US.

1025
00:48:51,895 --> 00:48:53,597
[JR] I would think not.

1026
00:48:53,664 --> 00:48:54,698
[bell ringing]

1027
00:48:54,765 --> 00:48:56,400
And it'll be Goldust

1028
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,002
and Christian starting it out here.

1029
00:48:59,069 --> 00:49:01,138
Again, the Tag Team Titles on the line.

1030
00:49:01,204 --> 00:49:05,042
Goldust who made his WWE debut in 1995

1031
00:49:05,108 --> 00:49:07,844
has always been a strange enigma.

1032
00:49:07,911 --> 00:49:11,748
And Goldust,
that powerslam on Lance Storm,

1033
00:49:11,815 --> 00:49:14,251
who was in the match illegally,
we should point out.

1034
00:49:14,318 --> 00:49:17,788
And Goldust… Good uppercut there.
And Goldust looking for the cover.

1035
00:49:20,090 --> 00:49:22,292
Referee Nick Patrick
assigned this contest.

1036
00:49:22,359 --> 00:49:27,631
And, uh, you gotta believe that
the resourcefully resilient team

1037
00:49:27,698 --> 00:49:29,166
of Storm and Christian,

1038
00:49:29,232 --> 00:49:33,203
at some point, are going to isolate
either Goldust or Booker T.

1039
00:49:33,270 --> 00:49:36,840
That's what we have seen on so many
occasions from the tag champions.

1040
00:49:36,907 --> 00:49:39,643
[Lawler] You can see here, though,
Goldust and Booker T are,

1041
00:49:39,710 --> 00:49:42,312
well, they're hellbent on
not letting that happen.

1042
00:49:42,379 --> 00:49:44,815
-Here we go.
-Nice inverted atomic drop by Goldust.

1043
00:49:44,881 --> 00:49:46,450
Follows with the clothesline.

1044
00:49:46,516 --> 00:49:47,818
And there's the tag.

1045
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,821
-[Lawler] Ooh!
-[JR] And Booker T,

1046
00:49:50,887 --> 00:49:53,557
the youngest of eight children,

1047
00:49:53,623 --> 00:49:56,727
grown up the hard way in Houston, Texas.

1048
00:49:56,793 --> 00:49:59,696
He is as Americana as Americana can be.

1049
00:49:59,763 --> 00:50:03,467
But Lance Stom scoring that el… that knee
right to the midsection.

1050
00:50:03,533 --> 00:50:07,537
Didn't have a lot of effect on Booker T.
Sidewalk slam by Booker T.

1051
00:50:08,171 --> 00:50:09,706
-Booker T--
-[Lawler] Oh, wait a minute.

1052
00:50:11,008 --> 00:50:14,711
[JR] He has been a Tag Champion
on 11 different occasions.

1053
00:50:14,778 --> 00:50:16,780
-That is an amazing feat.
-[ref] One!

1054
00:50:16,847 --> 00:50:20,617
[JR] The cover, and Lance Storm
slipping out the back door on that one.

1055
00:50:20,684 --> 00:50:23,954
[Lawler] And of course, Goldust
certainly not your average,

1056
00:50:24,020 --> 00:50:25,956
everyday, run-of-the-mill American,

1057
00:50:26,022 --> 00:50:27,491
But that's what America's all about.

1058
00:50:27,557 --> 00:50:30,494
You put guys like Goldust
and Booker T together.

1059
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,963
They work together as a team
with teamwork.

1060
00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:35,031
Like we do in this country
and you're successful.

1061
00:50:35,532 --> 00:50:38,402
[JR] Booker T and Goldust
coming from different environments.

1062
00:50:38,468 --> 00:50:41,638
Cheap shot by Christian. He paid for that.

1063
00:50:41,705 --> 00:50:43,874
Thumb to the eye by Lance Storm.

1064
00:50:44,841 --> 00:50:48,612
Oh, Goldust thrown over the top turnbuckle
all the way outside.

1065
00:50:49,179 --> 00:50:50,781
And Lance Storm got underneath Goldust,

1066
00:50:50,847 --> 00:50:53,150
and Booker T trying
to come in and get him some,

1067
00:50:53,216 --> 00:50:56,653
as referee Nick Patrick
has his back to the action.

1068
00:50:56,720 --> 00:51:01,825
You see Christian taking full advantage
of the positioning of the official.

1069
00:51:02,826 --> 00:51:06,196
[Lawler] Driving Goldust's back
right into that railing out there.

1070
00:51:06,696 --> 00:51:07,964
There's a cover!

1071
00:51:08,031 --> 00:51:09,966
[JR] Done by Storm. The hook of the leg.

1072
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:13,703
And Goldust, with those long legs,
able to kick out.

1073
00:51:13,770 --> 00:51:15,539
Goldust about 6'5",

1074
00:51:15,605 --> 00:51:18,141
somewhere around 260 pounds.

1075
00:51:18,208 --> 00:51:20,811
Gonna isolate him now.
Look at those straight right hands

1076
00:51:20,877 --> 00:51:23,780
by one half of the Tag Champions,
Lance Storm.

1077
00:51:23,847 --> 00:51:25,348
[crowd chanting] USA! USA!

1078
00:51:25,415 --> 00:51:28,452
Listen to the fans. I don't think they're
sitting on their hands, are they JR?

1079
00:51:28,518 --> 00:51:29,920
[JR] They certainly are not.

1080
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:33,023
And Goldust trying to fight
with everything he's got.

1081
00:51:33,089 --> 00:51:34,458
With the stakes high tonight.

1082
00:51:34,524 --> 00:51:36,493
Tag Team Championship on the line.

1083
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:42,098
But Christian keeping his body between
Goldust, and Goldust's partner, Booker T.

1084
00:51:42,165 --> 00:51:48,305
Like 'em or not, again a resourcefully
resilient Tag Team Champions.

1085
00:51:50,740 --> 00:51:54,744
[Lawler] They know all the tricks in the
book as far as tag team wrestling goes.

1086
00:51:54,811 --> 00:51:58,348
There's one of the tricks
at the top of the list right there.

1087
00:51:58,415 --> 00:52:00,417
Distract the referee,

1088
00:52:00,484 --> 00:52:02,319
take advantage of it
when his back's turned.

1089
00:52:02,385 --> 00:52:03,253
Two on one.

1090
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,222
[JR] Booker T getting emotional.
That taunting.

1091
00:52:05,288 --> 00:52:07,457
Came in the ring.
Referee had to do his job.

1092
00:52:07,524 --> 00:52:10,160
But in the meantime,
we saw another double team.

1093
00:52:10,227 --> 00:52:13,196
An illegal double team
by the Tag Team Champions.

1094
00:52:13,263 --> 00:52:14,631
A hard backbreaker.

1095
00:52:14,698 --> 00:52:15,665
Focusing on the back.

1096
00:52:15,732 --> 00:52:18,201
A hook of the leg here.
A near fall, Goldust.

1097
00:52:18,268 --> 00:52:19,603
Barely able to kick out.

1098
00:52:19,669 --> 00:52:22,239
With less intensity
than the first time he kicked out.

1099
00:52:22,305 --> 00:52:24,074
Or the first near fall.

1100
00:52:24,141 --> 00:52:25,976
Cheap shot by Christian,
leaving the action.

1101
00:52:26,042 --> 00:52:27,811
Into the lower back.

1102
00:52:28,945 --> 00:52:31,481
-[Lawler] There you go.
-[JR] Lance Storm tried a dropkick.

1103
00:52:31,548 --> 00:52:33,617
Nobody there! A roll-up by Goldust.

1104
00:52:33,683 --> 00:52:34,951
And he got a near fall.

1105
00:52:35,018 --> 00:52:37,521
-[Lawler] Look at that!
-[JR] Goldust using Storm's own momentum

1106
00:52:38,088 --> 00:52:39,656
to take Storm up and down.

1107
00:52:39,723 --> 00:52:42,392
Goldust may have bought himself
a little bit of time.

1108
00:52:42,459 --> 00:52:46,429
Goldust would be well-served, King,
to make the tag sooner than later.

1109
00:52:46,496 --> 00:52:47,831
[Lawler] Needs to get to Booker T.

1110
00:52:47,898 --> 00:52:50,567
Booker T on the fringe.
He's looking to get in there.

1111
00:52:52,102 --> 00:52:53,637
[JR] Shot right to the head.

1112
00:52:55,138 --> 00:52:58,308
[Lawler] Christian, now, trying
to ground Goldust, trying to keep him,

1113
00:52:58,375 --> 00:53:01,278
as you say, JR, isolated
and away from his partner Booker T.

1114
00:53:02,312 --> 00:53:05,182
Booker T, in the meantime,
he just can't wait to get in there.

1115
00:53:06,183 --> 00:53:08,852
Give him something
for those suckers to dig.

1116
00:53:08,919 --> 00:53:11,721
[JR] A face lock applied
by Christian grounding Goldust.

1117
00:53:11,788 --> 00:53:14,057
And again, look at the position
of Christian's body.

1118
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:17,894
Christian's body is between Goldust
and Goldust's partner Booker T.

1119
00:53:18,461 --> 00:53:21,565
Like The Un-Americans or not,
and by the way, for the record,

1120
00:53:21,631 --> 00:53:22,732
I do not like them…

1121
00:53:24,868 --> 00:53:28,171
[Lawler] You've made that perfectly clear
on many occasions. Uh oh!

1122
00:53:28,238 --> 00:53:29,372
[Booker T] Come on, Goldie!

1123
00:53:29,439 --> 00:53:32,442
[JR] Again, Goldust trying to force
Christian towards that corner.

1124
00:53:32,509 --> 00:53:34,778
Holding that front face lock there.
Goldust…

1125
00:53:34,844 --> 00:53:38,014
There's the tag, and here comes Booker T.

1126
00:53:38,081 --> 00:53:40,750
Booker T now. He's rocking and rolling.

1127
00:53:40,817 --> 00:53:42,986
-And wait! Wait a minute.
-[ref] Out!

1128
00:53:43,053 --> 00:53:44,454
[Lawler] What is this?

1129
00:53:44,521 --> 00:53:47,223
Come on, ref. Don't tell me
you didn't see that tag.

1130
00:53:47,290 --> 00:53:50,493
[JR] The referee apparently did not
see it. And look at the double team!

1131
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:54,364
Like rabid dogs, the Tag Team Champions
double teaming Goldust.

1132
00:53:55,432 --> 00:53:56,900
The referee can't…

1133
00:53:56,967 --> 00:53:59,236
[Lawler] Referee couldn't see
an elephant in a phone booth

1134
00:53:59,302 --> 00:54:00,470
if he missed that. Come on!

1135
00:54:02,172 --> 00:54:05,041
[JR] Well, Nick Patrick
is an outstanding official.

1136
00:54:05,108 --> 00:54:07,344
You can't allow the tag
if you don't see it.

1137
00:54:07,410 --> 00:54:09,412
I understand that, but it's unfortunate.

1138
00:54:09,512 --> 00:54:13,650
And there's a cover. And Booker T makes
sure there's not a three-count going down.

1139
00:54:14,751 --> 00:54:18,088
Lance Storm and Christian
very aggressive here tonight.

1140
00:54:18,154 --> 00:54:19,889
A very sound game plan.

1141
00:54:19,956 --> 00:54:21,324
[crowd chanting] Booker T!

1142
00:54:21,391 --> 00:54:25,495
[JR] They have separated and isolated
Goldust far from Goldust's corner.

1143
00:54:26,930 --> 00:54:28,832
[Lawler] Booker T chant going here.

1144
00:54:28,898 --> 00:54:30,900
Some people wanna see Booker T in there.

1145
00:54:30,967 --> 00:54:32,802
[JR] And if Booker T can get a tag,

1146
00:54:32,869 --> 00:54:34,604
if Booker T, big if,

1147
00:54:34,671 --> 00:54:37,307
if he can get a tag, he is gonna explode,

1148
00:54:37,374 --> 00:54:38,708
this place is gonna erupt.

1149
00:54:38,775 --> 00:54:41,478
And look at Goldust
giving everything he's got.

1150
00:54:41,544 --> 00:54:44,014
[Lawler] Goldust doing a little exploding
of his own right now.

1151
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,249
[JR] The oldest son of
"The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes.

1152
00:54:46,316 --> 00:54:48,451
He's fighting for everything he's got.

1153
00:54:48,518 --> 00:54:51,054
And here's a roll-up.
It could be enough here. But it's not.

1154
00:54:51,121 --> 00:54:52,722
Make the tag. Make the tag. Whoa.

1155
00:54:53,790 --> 00:54:57,494
[JR] Both men colliding, but Goldust,
you gotta believe, is getting

1156
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,363
the worse of the…
The worst end of the stick here.

1157
00:55:00,430 --> 00:55:03,633
-[ref counting]
-[JR] He's been in the ring a long time.

1158
00:55:03,700 --> 00:55:05,669
That lower back has been punished.

1159
00:55:05,735 --> 00:55:09,139
The focus of this match,
the lower back of Goldust.

1160
00:55:10,573 --> 00:55:13,543
[Lawler] These Long Island fans trying
to do their best to help… There you go.

1161
00:55:13,610 --> 00:55:16,179
Come on, Goldust.
Get to your feet, get to your partner.

1162
00:55:16,246 --> 00:55:19,282
-[ref continues counting]
-[JR] Referee up to six in his ten-count.

1163
00:55:19,382 --> 00:55:22,819
Again, the champions
have to be pinned or made to submit.

1164
00:55:22,886 --> 00:55:26,222
They retain in a disqualification
or a count-out.

1165
00:55:26,923 --> 00:55:30,860
That makes it a must-pin
or must submit situation.

1166
00:55:30,927 --> 00:55:33,063
Oh, look at that. Oh, Lance Storm.

1167
00:55:33,129 --> 00:55:35,265
Just as Goldust is close to the corner.

1168
00:55:35,332 --> 00:55:38,001
Lance Storm came by.
Goldust there now for the tag.

1169
00:55:38,068 --> 00:55:40,070
Booker T almost… He can't get there.

1170
00:55:41,137 --> 00:55:41,971
What the hell?

1171
00:55:42,038 --> 00:55:43,940
[Lawler] Look at this.
I hope you can see this.

1172
00:55:44,007 --> 00:55:47,610
It looks like the champions are just gonna
try to get themselves disqualified.

1173
00:55:47,677 --> 00:55:49,612
[Lawler] They're ready for
a Con-chair-to, JR!

1174
00:55:49,679 --> 00:55:50,947
-[JR] Con-chair-to!
-[Lawler] No!

1175
00:55:51,014 --> 00:55:52,482
[JR] And Goldust ducked!

1176
00:55:52,549 --> 00:55:54,851
And Goldust makes contact.

1177
00:55:54,918 --> 00:55:57,554
Double clothesline
on the Tag Team Champions.

1178
00:55:57,620 --> 00:56:00,256
And now Goldust may have an opportunity,

1179
00:56:00,323 --> 00:56:01,691
he may have one chance,

1180
00:56:01,758 --> 00:56:05,195
and one chance only
in this Tag Team Championship match

1181
00:56:05,261 --> 00:56:06,496
to make the tag.

1182
00:56:06,563 --> 00:56:08,398
[Lawler] Goldust down.
The Un-Americans down.

1183
00:56:08,465 --> 00:56:10,800
-Get to Booker T!
-[crowd chanting] USA! USA!

1184
00:56:11,668 --> 00:56:15,972
[JR] The USA chant ringing through
the heart and the soul of Goldust.

1185
00:56:16,039 --> 00:56:17,741
He knows he's gotta make the tag.

1186
00:56:17,807 --> 00:56:19,809
He's fighting for everything he can get.

1187
00:56:19,876 --> 00:56:22,879
-[Lawler] There he is!
-[JR] And there's a tag! There's a tag!

1188
00:56:22,946 --> 00:56:25,115
-[Lawler] We all saw that one.
-[JR] And Booker T

1189
00:56:26,950 --> 00:56:29,119
laying it down on the Tag Team Champions.

1190
00:56:29,185 --> 00:56:33,022
And the former 11-time Tag Team Champion

1191
00:56:33,089 --> 00:56:35,992
has gold in his eyesight.

1192
00:56:36,059 --> 00:56:37,827
-[Lawler] Look at him!
-[JR] Booker T!

1193
00:56:38,695 --> 00:56:41,798
Man, this is street justice here
with Booker T.

1194
00:56:41,865 --> 00:56:42,732
[Lawler] Whoa!

1195
00:56:44,234 --> 00:56:46,536
[JR] Hard clubbing forearm by Booker T.

1196
00:56:46,603 --> 00:56:48,972
The momentum belongs now
to the challengers.

1197
00:56:49,038 --> 00:56:51,641
That quick. That suddenly by Booker T.

1198
00:56:53,009 --> 00:56:54,544
[Lawler] What's he gonna do now?

1199
00:56:54,611 --> 00:56:56,479
[Lawler] Whoa! Big dropkick.

1200
00:56:56,546 --> 00:56:58,314
[JR] Missile dropkick from the top!

1201
00:56:58,381 --> 00:57:00,583
Goldust taking care of Storm. The cover.

1202
00:57:00,650 --> 00:57:02,352
We've got new… Oh no, we don't.

1203
00:57:03,453 --> 00:57:06,890
A half a count away
from new Tag Team Champions.

1204
00:57:06,956 --> 00:57:09,692
The Un-Americans are in big trouble here.

1205
00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:12,195
[Lawler] There you… Uh oh, missed him.

1206
00:57:12,262 --> 00:57:14,097
[JR] Booker T looking
for the scissors, King.

1207
00:57:16,633 --> 00:57:19,602
[JR] Face-first,
high-impact move by Booker T.

1208
00:57:19,669 --> 00:57:22,372
Again, Christian,
in a hell of a lot of trouble.

1209
00:57:22,439 --> 00:57:24,841
[JR] And Storm, looking for Booker T,

1210
00:57:24,908 --> 00:57:28,745
inadvertently caught the referee
in the face with that flying kick.

1211
00:57:28,812 --> 00:57:30,814
[Lawler] Yeah, come on, Booker!

1212
00:57:31,614 --> 00:57:34,250
And Booker T scored.

1213
00:57:34,317 --> 00:57:36,986
[Lawler] He got both
The Un-Americans with one shot, JR!

1214
00:57:37,053 --> 00:57:39,455
[JR] The 7-10 split, by Booker T.

1215
00:57:39,522 --> 00:57:40,657
[Lawler] Uh oh.

1216
00:57:41,224 --> 00:57:43,226
-Can you dig it, JR?
-[JR] I can feel it.

1217
00:57:43,293 --> 00:57:44,461
[Lawler cackling]

1218
00:57:44,527 --> 00:57:46,663
[Lawler] Look at the look
on Booker T's face!

1219
00:57:46,729 --> 00:57:50,834
Here it comes. The good
ol' all-American Spinaroonie! [cackling]

1220
00:57:51,734 --> 00:57:54,204
[JR] The momentum's there.
Oh, the kick to the face!

1221
00:57:54,270 --> 00:57:55,438
It's gonna be over.

1222
00:57:55,505 --> 00:57:57,607
-Booker T with a hook of that leg.
-[crowd counting]

1223
00:57:57,674 --> 00:57:59,542
-The referee's down.
-[Lawler] Come on, Nick!

1224
00:57:59,609 --> 00:58:03,179
[JR] The referee got… That shot
and the referee is down. Booker T,

1225
00:58:03,246 --> 00:58:06,449
no doubt in my mind,
had the three-count going.

1226
00:58:07,016 --> 00:58:08,418
[Lawler] Watch it, weapon!

1227
00:58:09,552 --> 00:58:12,822
[JR] Lance Storm trying to cheap shot
with that cast iron bell.

1228
00:58:13,690 --> 00:58:16,326
Booker T and Goldust, on fire here.

1229
00:58:16,392 --> 00:58:18,761
-Goldust out…
-[both] Hey, wait a minute!

1230
00:58:18,828 --> 00:58:20,163
[JR] That damn Test.

1231
00:58:20,797 --> 00:58:23,766
Test just almost took Booker T's head off.

1232
00:58:24,767 --> 00:58:26,002
Another one of The Un-Americans.

1233
00:58:26,069 --> 00:58:28,238
A man who'll meet
the American badass tonight.

1234
00:58:28,304 --> 00:58:30,707
-[Lawler] Now wait a minute.
-[JR] Wait, ref. Come on!

1235
00:58:30,773 --> 00:58:32,609
-Come on! No!
-[bell ringing]

1236
00:58:33,142 --> 00:58:39,215
[announcer] The winners of this bout,
and still WWE Tag Team Champions,

1237
00:58:39,282 --> 00:58:41,918
The Un-Americans!

1238
00:58:41,985 --> 00:58:45,021
[JR] Well, how in the world
can The Un-Americans be proud

1239
00:58:45,088 --> 00:58:47,724
of the way they won this match

1240
00:58:47,790 --> 00:58:49,592
with a three-on-two advantage.

1241
00:58:49,659 --> 00:58:52,262
That's all that boils down to being.

1242
00:58:52,328 --> 00:58:54,898
[Lawler] It's not about being proud
of their victories, JR,

1243
00:58:54,964 --> 00:58:56,833
it's just about winning to these guys.

1244
00:58:56,900 --> 00:59:00,503
It's about remaining Tag Team Champions,
so that they can rub it in all our faces.

1245
00:59:00,570 --> 00:59:02,672
[JR] It's all about
coming to the United States--

1246
00:59:02,739 --> 00:59:05,241
[Lawler] Look, look, look. Look at Test.

1247
00:59:07,644 --> 00:59:09,312
[JR] The referee was still down.

1248
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:11,147
He didn't see a damn thing.

1249
00:59:12,115 --> 00:59:15,118
It looks like the ref just saw Test
getting out of the ring, if nothing else.

1250
00:59:15,184 --> 00:59:17,186
But be that as it may,

1251
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:22,659
The Un-Americans have retained
their tag team titles.

1252
00:59:22,725 --> 00:59:24,560
[Lawler] Looked like the referee
saw that to me.

1253
00:59:24,627 --> 00:59:27,430
[JR] The Un-Americans
a disgrace to this company.

1254
00:59:27,497 --> 00:59:31,000
A damn sure disgrace for Raw,
I'll tell you that.

1255
00:59:31,067 --> 00:59:32,969
Goldust and Booker T, well…

1256
00:59:33,036 --> 00:59:36,406
Ladies and gentlemen,
there's a huge contest down at the

1257
00:59:36,472 --> 00:59:38,841
WWE's The World at Times' Square, King.

1258
00:59:38,908 --> 00:59:44,013
The winner could win
a make-out contest with Nidia.

1259
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,082
[Lawler] How many times
did you enter that, JR?

1260
00:59:46,149 --> 00:59:47,150
Tell the truth!

1261
00:59:47,216 --> 00:59:48,251
[JR] A couple.

1262
00:59:51,955 --> 00:59:53,489
Here we go, baby!

1263
00:59:53,556 --> 00:59:56,526
I promised New York City some making out,

1264
00:59:56,593 --> 00:59:59,228
and some making out's what you gon' get.

1265
00:59:59,295 --> 01:00:01,197
All right, girl. It's time!

1266
01:00:01,264 --> 01:00:02,832
It's time to choose

1267
01:00:02,899 --> 01:00:06,302
which one of these fine pieces
of New York strip steak

1268
01:00:06,369 --> 01:00:08,838
are you gonna devour tonight, baby?

1269
01:00:12,208 --> 01:00:14,344
Sorry, boy. Better luck next time.

1270
01:00:14,410 --> 01:00:15,611
Get outta here.

1271
01:00:15,678 --> 01:00:17,680
-[Noble] Whoo!
-[crowd cheering]

1272
01:00:19,849 --> 01:00:22,418
Whoo! You like that, boy?

1273
01:00:22,485 --> 01:00:24,253
Yeah, come on, baby!

1274
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,489
Don't forget that trick
with your tongue you do.

1275
01:00:26,556 --> 01:00:28,191
Give it to him. Yeah!

1276
01:00:28,257 --> 01:00:30,627
-[Lawler] Look at that, JR!
-[JR] She's a sudden little thing.

1277
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:32,295
You like that, New York City?

1278
01:00:32,362 --> 01:00:35,665
Wow, I mean, I love this Nidia.

1279
01:00:35,732 --> 01:00:38,134
She would make a fine addition to Raw.

1280
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:42,105
This is a woman who really knows
her place in this business.

1281
01:00:43,606 --> 01:00:44,607
Eric…

1282
01:00:45,408 --> 01:00:48,978
women in this business,
their place is like mine.

1283
01:00:50,046 --> 01:00:51,447
On top.

1284
01:00:51,514 --> 01:00:53,883
[chuckles] Well, speaking of

1285
01:00:54,550 --> 01:00:57,720
"on top," we'll see who's on top later…

1286
01:00:57,787 --> 01:00:59,155
in the show.

1287
01:00:59,222 --> 01:01:03,826
We'll see when RVD brings that
Intercontinental Title back to Raw

1288
01:01:03,893 --> 01:01:05,061
who's on top.

1289
01:01:07,363 --> 01:01:11,834
Bischoff, I think we can safely say,
that will never happen.

1290
01:01:14,404 --> 01:01:16,139
["Whatever" playing]

1291
01:01:16,205 --> 01:01:18,775
[Lawler] I can't believe those two
are coexisting in the same room.

1292
01:01:21,411 --> 01:01:22,478
[bell ringing]

1293
01:01:22,545 --> 01:01:25,515
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall,

1294
01:01:25,581 --> 01:01:30,586
and it is for
the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

1295
01:01:30,653 --> 01:01:34,023
Approaching the ring,
representing SmackDown,

1296
01:01:34,090 --> 01:01:37,193
weighing in at 229 pounds,

1297
01:01:37,260 --> 01:01:42,632
the Intercontinental Champion,
Chris Benoit!

1298
01:01:42,698 --> 01:01:45,435
[JR] Well, Chris Benoit won
the Intercontinental Title

1299
01:01:45,501 --> 01:01:47,904
less than a month ago on Raw.

1300
01:01:47,970 --> 01:01:52,375
And then virtually 72 hours later,

1301
01:01:52,442 --> 01:01:55,445
he and Eddie Guerrero jumped to SmackDown.

1302
01:01:55,511 --> 01:01:57,880
I'll tell you what,
without a little undercover work,

1303
01:01:57,947 --> 01:01:58,981
no pun intended,

1304
01:01:59,048 --> 01:02:01,584
by Stacy Keibler
and general manager Eric Bischoff,

1305
01:02:01,651 --> 01:02:05,354
I'm not so sure
that RVD would've gotten this rematch.

1306
01:02:05,421 --> 01:02:08,524
[Lawler] Well, my hat's…
My crown is off to Eric Bischoff,

1307
01:02:08,591 --> 01:02:12,829
for bringing all of that great talent
here to Raw, especially Stacy Keibler.

1308
01:02:12,895 --> 01:02:14,897
["One of a Kind" playing]

1309
01:02:19,302 --> 01:02:20,269
[Lawler] Wow!

1310
01:02:30,379 --> 01:02:34,016
[announcer] The challenger,
representing Raw,

1311
01:02:34,083 --> 01:02:36,486
from Battle Creek, Michigan,

1312
01:02:36,552 --> 01:02:38,754
weighing 235 pounds,

1313
01:02:39,689 --> 01:02:43,025
Rob Van Dam!

1314
01:02:43,092 --> 01:02:45,661
[JR] Two hugely intimidating
competitors here.

1315
01:02:45,728 --> 01:02:47,530
They like to be physical.

1316
01:02:47,597 --> 01:02:50,933
There'll be no…
Well, it's certainly an unforgiving match.

1317
01:02:51,834 --> 01:02:53,302
[music fades out]

1318
01:02:55,004 --> 01:02:57,874
[JR] Certainly, King,
I can speak for both of us I think,

1319
01:02:57,940 --> 01:03:01,244
it's an honor to be able
to call this inter-promotional matchup.

1320
01:03:01,310 --> 01:03:02,812
Benoit the champion.

1321
01:03:03,613 --> 01:03:08,117
SmackDown man. Look at RVD going
right to work on those legs

1322
01:03:08,184 --> 01:03:09,285
with those great kicks

1323
01:03:09,352 --> 01:03:13,923
against SmackDown's
Intercontinental Champion Chris Benoit.

1324
01:03:14,957 --> 01:03:18,294
[Lawler] Well, you're right, JR.
This should be a classic matchup.

1325
01:03:19,228 --> 01:03:22,698
Just imagine, Eric Bischoff and
Stephanie McMahon back there

1326
01:03:22,765 --> 01:03:24,433
watching this match together.

1327
01:03:24,500 --> 01:03:26,369
High stakes here.

1328
01:03:26,435 --> 01:03:29,405
[JR] Those kicks. Oh my God.
Scintillating kicks.

1329
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:32,341
And Benoit's gotta regroup here
in the early going.

1330
01:03:32,408 --> 01:03:34,744
Hard, stiff kicks.

1331
01:03:34,810 --> 01:03:38,414
Right to the sternum, right to the heart
of the Intercontinental Champion

1332
01:03:38,481 --> 01:03:40,616
by Rob Van Dam.

1333
01:03:40,683 --> 01:03:42,852
[Lawler] And from the look
on Benoit's face,

1334
01:03:42,919 --> 01:03:45,688
he was not expecting this match
to start this way.

1335
01:03:46,355 --> 01:03:48,624
[JR] Van Dam from Battle Creek, Michigan.

1336
01:03:48,691 --> 01:03:51,227
Benoit raised in Edmonton, Alberta.

1337
01:03:51,294 --> 01:03:53,196
Born in Montreal,

1338
01:03:53,262 --> 01:03:54,197
for the record.

1339
01:03:54,864 --> 01:03:57,333
Benoit trained in
Stu Hart's Dungeon up in Calgary.

1340
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:00,336
And nothing but tough people
come out of there. And another hard shot.

1341
01:04:00,403 --> 01:04:03,306
Nice leg lace takedown by Chris Benoit.

1342
01:04:03,372 --> 01:04:05,374
Floating over on RVD.

1343
01:04:05,441 --> 01:04:08,711
Trying to wrap around RVD is Benoit.

1344
01:04:08,778 --> 01:04:11,781
It would seem to me, King, I don't know
if you'll agree with this or not,

1345
01:04:11,848 --> 01:04:13,482
but for Benoit to be successful,

1346
01:04:13,549 --> 01:04:15,985
he's gotta work on the head,
the neck, the shoulder,

1347
01:04:16,052 --> 01:04:19,488
of Rob Van Dam,
and look for the Crippler Crossface.

1348
01:04:19,555 --> 01:04:23,259
[Lawler] Well, he's gotta… you gotta stay
out of the Crippler Crossface for sure

1349
01:04:23,326 --> 01:04:26,696
to be successful against
the rabid Wolverine.

1350
01:04:26,762 --> 01:04:27,830
And those kicks.

1351
01:04:27,897 --> 01:04:29,899
Those kicks. The way Van Dam
started off this match.

1352
01:04:29,966 --> 01:04:31,267
Looked like they were working.

1353
01:04:31,334 --> 01:04:33,569
Then all of the sudden,
he went to the well once too often.

1354
01:04:33,636 --> 01:04:34,570
[Benoit yelling]

1355
01:04:35,137 --> 01:04:37,740
[JR] Modified head lock by Chris Benoit,

1356
01:04:37,807 --> 01:04:41,744
torquing that neck to a very
uncomfortable position for Rob Van Dam.

1357
01:04:41,811 --> 01:04:45,281
We have seen Benoit make
the best in the business submit

1358
01:04:45,348 --> 01:04:46,749
with that Crippler Crossface.

1359
01:04:46,816 --> 01:04:51,487
Rob Van Dam, crossbody.
Springboard crossbody off the second rope.

1360
01:04:51,554 --> 01:04:53,389
Got a near fall. Oh!

1361
01:04:53,456 --> 01:04:56,158
You leave your hands down,
you expose your head,

1362
01:04:56,225 --> 01:04:58,294
as Benoit did on that exchange,

1363
01:04:58,361 --> 01:05:00,396
you pay one hell of a price.

1364
01:05:01,597 --> 01:05:03,032
[Lawler] What about a size…

1365
01:05:03,099 --> 01:05:06,669
Well, you would know this JR,
what size shoe does Rob Van Dam wear?

1366
01:05:06,736 --> 01:05:08,738
[JR] Well, I'm not sure.
I'd say probably around 11.

1367
01:05:08,804 --> 01:05:10,439
[Lawler] You get one
of those 11s in your mouth…

1368
01:05:10,506 --> 01:05:12,975
[JR] Look out here. German release suplex.

1369
01:05:13,042 --> 01:05:15,845
And Van Dam,
folded up like an accordion there.

1370
01:05:15,912 --> 01:05:17,913
Landed right on the back of his head.

1371
01:05:17,980 --> 01:05:21,584
And the referee Chad Patton
asking Van Dam…

1372
01:05:21,651 --> 01:05:23,419
[Lawler] Well, he may be out of it here.

1373
01:05:23,486 --> 01:05:26,589
[JR] He wants to continue. I don't know
if Van Dam is coherent enough.

1374
01:05:26,656 --> 01:05:28,891
But look at that elbow.
Right to the head and neck.

1375
01:05:28,958 --> 01:05:31,294
It's almost as you can see the game plan

1376
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:33,863
of Chris Benoit in the early going here…

1377
01:05:35,131 --> 01:05:36,432
[Lawler] We saw Van Dam,

1378
01:05:36,499 --> 01:05:39,235
he is definitely not cruising
after landing on the back of his head.

1379
01:05:39,302 --> 01:05:42,104
He was trying to get out of the ring
to buy himself a little time

1380
01:05:42,171 --> 01:05:44,173
but the Wolverine wouldn't let him go.

1381
01:05:45,775 --> 01:05:48,244
[JR] Benoit a very proud
Intercontinental Champion.

1382
01:05:48,311 --> 01:05:52,014
I wish he had… had not left Raw
to go to SmackDown, but…

1383
01:05:52,081 --> 01:05:54,350
Oh, wait, there's a cover.
Here we go, and oh!

1384
01:05:54,417 --> 01:05:55,351
[ref] Two!

1385
01:05:55,418 --> 01:05:58,888
[JR] You notice that Van Dam
did not kick out of the predicament.

1386
01:05:58,955 --> 01:06:00,656
He just got that left shoulder up,

1387
01:06:00,723 --> 01:06:06,195
which tells me that Van Dam has got
a lot of gray area right now.

1388
01:06:07,063 --> 01:06:09,632
He's not fussing. Backbreaker.
Another cover.

1389
01:06:09,699 --> 01:06:13,202
And Van Dam, this time, able to
elevate his shoulders off the canvas.

1390
01:06:13,269 --> 01:06:14,637
But that's about all he did.

1391
01:06:14,704 --> 01:06:15,805
[Lawler] Well, you're right.

1392
01:06:15,871 --> 01:06:20,042
That original hit to the back of his head,
that's taken something out of Rob.

1393
01:06:20,109 --> 01:06:23,379
[JR] As we said, Benoit trained in Calgary
in Stu Hart's Dungeon,

1394
01:06:23,446 --> 01:06:27,783
grew up idolizing the former
great WWE star The Dynamite Kid.

1395
01:06:27,850 --> 01:06:30,152
That move right there.
That's pure dynamite.

1396
01:06:30,219 --> 01:06:32,154
That snap suplex. Thrown over.

1397
01:06:32,221 --> 01:06:34,390
And a… That lateral press got a near fall.

1398
01:06:34,457 --> 01:06:36,759
And look at Van Dam.
The look of determination.

1399
01:06:36,826 --> 01:06:38,461
Van Dam… Oh, look at this now.

1400
01:06:38,527 --> 01:06:39,595
[man] Come on, Rob.

1401
01:06:39,662 --> 01:06:42,965
[JR] The shoulder, the neck,
the focus by Chris Benoit.

1402
01:06:43,532 --> 01:06:46,769
That Crippler Crossface
could be a heartbeat away.

1403
01:06:46,836 --> 01:06:50,239
And anytime Benoit can latch
that Crossface on,

1404
01:06:50,306 --> 01:06:52,241
and if he does
in the center of the ring, King,

1405
01:06:52,308 --> 01:06:55,277
I have a lot of respect for Van Dam,
but it'll be over.

1406
01:06:55,344 --> 01:06:57,046
[Lawler] It'll be over, all right.

1407
01:06:57,113 --> 01:07:00,249
And Van Dam knows
he's gotta stay out of that Crossface.

1408
01:07:00,316 --> 01:07:01,717
What he's gotta do right now is,

1409
01:07:01,784 --> 01:07:04,186
he's gotta clear his head, JR,
I still think he's woozy.

1410
01:07:05,054 --> 01:07:07,323
[JR] And… Oh, nice counter by Van Dam.

1411
01:07:07,857 --> 01:07:09,392
Man, look how quickly…

1412
01:07:10,259 --> 01:07:12,161
The crispness of Benoit. Benoit is…

1413
01:07:12,228 --> 01:07:15,865
He may have a busted lip there,
but he could care less about that.

1414
01:07:15,931 --> 01:07:17,900
Wanted to thank
the fans for being with us.

1415
01:07:17,967 --> 01:07:20,503
There's an inside cradle!
Inside cradle there.

1416
01:07:21,837 --> 01:07:25,341
[Lawler] Benoit's not out to win any
beauty contests or popularity contests.

1417
01:07:25,408 --> 01:07:27,042
[JR] Backslide by Van Dam.

1418
01:07:27,109 --> 01:07:29,979
We're live in 50 countries tonight
around the world.

1419
01:07:30,046 --> 01:07:32,915
-[Lawler] Whoa!
-[JR] Nice monkey flip by Van Dam.

1420
01:07:32,982 --> 01:07:35,217
Those legs are so strong, but, again,

1421
01:07:35,284 --> 01:07:38,754
it's Benoit who beats Van Dam
back to the vertical base.

1422
01:07:42,625 --> 01:07:44,126
Benoit bleeding from the mouth.

1423
01:07:44,193 --> 01:07:47,196
From one of those kicks to the face,
I would suggest.

1424
01:07:48,264 --> 01:07:50,299
[Lawler] About how many
people are watching, JR,

1425
01:07:50,366 --> 01:07:54,236
over 150 countries
are watching SummerSlam.

1426
01:07:54,303 --> 01:07:56,272
[JR] Amazing. And we thank them for it.

1427
01:07:59,842 --> 01:08:00,810
[RVD yelling]

1428
01:08:00,876 --> 01:08:02,611
[JR] Tougher the better for these two.

1429
01:08:03,512 --> 01:08:06,949
They are punishing each other in this
Intercontinental Championship match,

1430
01:08:07,016 --> 01:08:08,651
inter-promotional style,

1431
01:08:08,717 --> 01:08:10,519
-and… Oh, Van Dam!
-[Lawler] Look out!

1432
01:08:10,586 --> 01:08:13,889
[JR] Van Dam,
with the split-legged moonsault.

1433
01:08:13,956 --> 01:08:15,758
Benoit had him well-scouted,

1434
01:08:15,825 --> 01:08:17,026
got his knees up,

1435
01:08:17,093 --> 01:08:20,463
and Benoit drove his knees
right into the lower abdomen,

1436
01:08:20,529 --> 01:08:22,698
-of RVD.
-[Lawler] Uh oh, here we go.

1437
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,802
[Lawler] Looks like Benoit
would like to end this thing right now.

1438
01:08:26,869 --> 01:08:29,038
[JR] Benoit the Intercontinental Champion.

1439
01:08:29,105 --> 01:08:32,241
Gonna take this opportunity
to put Van Dam away.

1440
01:08:32,308 --> 01:08:33,142
The headbutt!

1441
01:08:33,209 --> 01:08:35,711
Oh, but nobody there but canvas.

1442
01:08:37,112 --> 01:08:40,483
Well, what a high-risk move by Benoit.

1443
01:08:41,217 --> 01:08:42,485
Nobody there this time.

1444
01:08:42,551 --> 01:08:44,887
The leg drop by Van Dam,

1445
01:08:44,954 --> 01:08:46,655
and now Van Dam looking…

1446
01:08:46,722 --> 01:08:50,192
Five-Star Frog Splash
could be on the horizon!

1447
01:08:50,259 --> 01:08:52,261
-[both exclaiming]
-[JR] Nobody there.

1448
01:08:54,363 --> 01:08:55,931
[Lawler] I know it's hard to be, uh…

1449
01:08:56,699 --> 01:08:58,567
well, unbiased during this match,

1450
01:08:58,634 --> 01:09:00,703
-both you and I, JR, we like--
-[JR] There it is!

1451
01:09:00,769 --> 01:09:03,105
-[Lawler] Got him.
-[JR] There it is. Crippler Crossface.

1452
01:09:03,172 --> 01:09:06,742
[Lawler] You and I would like to see that
Intercontinental title brought back to Raw

1453
01:09:06,809 --> 01:09:08,444
but it doesn't look
like it's gonna happen.

1454
01:09:09,311 --> 01:09:10,613
[ref shouting instructions]

1455
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:13,382
[ref] Come on. What do you say?

1456
01:09:16,852 --> 01:09:19,188
[Lawler] Van Dam not
anywhere close to the ropes.

1457
01:09:20,356 --> 01:09:22,024
He's in a world of trouble here.

1458
01:09:22,691 --> 01:09:24,927
[ref] Come on, Van Dam. Talk to me now.

1459
01:09:27,663 --> 01:09:30,900
[JR] And, Van Dam,
as tough as the young kid is…

1460
01:09:31,867 --> 01:09:34,870
[Lawler] Hey, look at that!
The educated feet.

1461
01:09:34,937 --> 01:09:36,672
[JR] The educated feet found a way out.

1462
01:09:37,373 --> 01:09:38,774
…RVD does.

1463
01:09:39,775 --> 01:09:41,410
Get him, Benoit!

1464
01:09:43,646 --> 01:09:46,549
[JR] Expectant general managers
of Raw and SmackDown,

1465
01:09:47,216 --> 01:09:50,586
again, watching live, as we all are.

1466
01:09:50,653 --> 01:09:52,688
[Lawler] A lot on the line
in this match for those two.

1467
01:09:52,755 --> 01:09:54,490
[JR] So much on the line for everybody.

1468
01:09:54,557 --> 01:09:57,159
Especially the two athletes in the ring.

1469
01:09:57,826 --> 01:10:01,997
And look at Van Dam being punished,
but he's damn sure not gonna quit.

1470
01:10:03,265 --> 01:10:05,100
[Lawler] Both guys
bleeding from the mouth.

1471
01:10:05,167 --> 01:10:07,136
This has been a hard-fought,
vicious matchup.

1472
01:10:09,104 --> 01:10:11,206
-Watch it! Look out!
-[crowd gasping]

1473
01:10:11,273 --> 01:10:14,643
[JR] Van Dam, as they often say, says

1474
01:10:14,710 --> 01:10:16,845
you live by the sword,
you die by the sword.

1475
01:10:16,912 --> 01:10:19,081
And I think Van Dam hurt that arm.

1476
01:10:19,148 --> 01:10:19,982
[fan] Suck it up!

1477
01:10:20,049 --> 01:10:23,152
[JR] That has gotta be something
that Benoit is loving, King.

1478
01:10:23,219 --> 01:10:24,820
[Lawler] Well, you got that right.

1479
01:10:24,887 --> 01:10:28,624
Like painting a big bullseye
on there for The Wolverine right now.

1480
01:10:28,691 --> 01:10:30,392
Gonna go right after that.

1481
01:10:33,062 --> 01:10:34,296
The arm wringer.

1482
01:10:34,363 --> 01:10:36,665
[JR] A hammerlock and the steel post

1483
01:10:36,732 --> 01:10:38,067
in succession.

1484
01:10:39,835 --> 01:10:40,669
[ref counting]

1485
01:10:40,736 --> 01:10:43,405
[JR] This may be the deciding factor
in this match,

1486
01:10:43,472 --> 01:10:46,108
when we look back on it, is that Van Dam,

1487
01:10:46,175 --> 01:10:51,080
into that security wall, and that arm
and that shoulder more specifically…

1488
01:10:51,146 --> 01:10:54,883
It's the shoulder and the neck
that's gotta be punishing

1489
01:10:54,950 --> 01:10:56,952
Rob Van Dam as we speak.

1490
01:10:57,853 --> 01:11:01,056
[Lawler] I'm sure this has put a big smile
on the face of Stephanie McMahon.

1491
01:11:01,123 --> 01:11:05,094
[JR] Shoulderbreaker by Benoit,
and drops the elbow across the neck.

1492
01:11:06,395 --> 01:11:07,429
Hard stomps.

1493
01:11:07,496 --> 01:11:11,000
I doubt if you see Benoit go anywhere else
in this match, King,

1494
01:11:11,066 --> 01:11:12,334
but that head and neck.

1495
01:11:15,271 --> 01:11:18,307
Benoit making sure Van Dam's
away from the ropes.

1496
01:11:22,344 --> 01:11:25,514
[Lawler] Van Dam is just…
He's in big trouble now.

1497
01:11:25,581 --> 01:11:26,882
Oh man.

1498
01:11:26,949 --> 01:11:29,685
[JR] The hard shot by Chris Benoit.

1499
01:11:29,752 --> 01:11:31,754
The knife edge. Upstairs, downstairs.

1500
01:11:31,820 --> 01:11:33,756
Van Dam's gotta get back
in this thing quickly,

1501
01:11:33,822 --> 01:11:35,291
or it's gonna be too late.

1502
01:11:35,824 --> 01:11:37,693
[Lawler] He's gonna have to
mount some offense

1503
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,262
-but right now--
-[JR] The cover. There you go.

1504
01:11:40,763 --> 01:11:45,668
And again, Benoit,
getting a near fall on the challenger

1505
01:11:45,734 --> 01:11:48,504
for the Intercontinental Championship.

1506
01:11:49,705 --> 01:11:52,074
[Lawler] Right now, we're seeing
Rob Van Dam, he's just…

1507
01:11:52,141 --> 01:11:55,110
he's fighting a totally defensive fight.

1508
01:11:55,177 --> 01:11:58,914
Trying to buy some time, trying to get
back in control of his faculties here.

1509
01:12:02,217 --> 01:12:04,887
Benoit using his left knee as a post.

1510
01:12:04,953 --> 01:12:08,090
Right in the spine of Rob Van Dam.

1511
01:12:08,157 --> 01:12:13,195
That surfboard-like maneuver, again,
with that shoulder and neck weakened,

1512
01:12:13,262 --> 01:12:17,232
Van Dam, he must feel like
he's in the electric chair right now.

1513
01:12:17,299 --> 01:12:18,167
[Lawler] Oh, man.

1514
01:12:21,603 --> 01:12:23,839
[JR] Van Dam trying to muscle out of.

1515
01:12:24,807 --> 01:12:28,243
[Lawler] When you're in that position,
that's the only way you're getting out.

1516
01:12:30,779 --> 01:12:33,048
If he can get to his feet,
he's got a few more options.

1517
01:12:33,115 --> 01:12:34,249
[Benoit screaming]

1518
01:12:35,184 --> 01:12:38,087
[JR] Test of strength here.
The will to survive.

1519
01:12:38,153 --> 01:12:39,121
[Lawler] Van Dam winning!

1520
01:12:40,222 --> 01:12:41,390
Oh man.

1521
01:12:43,592 --> 01:12:47,029
[JR] Back in that painful position.
And a knee right to the kidneys.

1522
01:12:47,096 --> 01:12:48,030
[Lawler] Look at this.

1523
01:12:48,097 --> 01:12:49,865
[ref] Come on, Rob. What do you say?

1524
01:12:50,466 --> 01:12:51,600
What do you say, Rob?

1525
01:12:52,501 --> 01:12:53,669
Come on, now, what do you say?

1526
01:12:54,903 --> 01:12:56,038
Come on, talk to me now.

1527
01:12:59,408 --> 01:13:02,411
[JR] Referee Chat Patton
assigned this contest.

1528
01:13:03,045 --> 01:13:07,683
A Raw official asking Van Dam
if he wants to give it up.

1529
01:13:07,750 --> 01:13:11,487
Again, remember, we don't know the damage
done to the neck and shoulder

1530
01:13:11,553 --> 01:13:13,288
of Rob Van Dam from earlier.

1531
01:13:13,355 --> 01:13:15,824
[Lawler] Did you see right there,
I mean, Benoit was actually,

1532
01:13:15,891 --> 01:13:20,696
he's trying to reverse him, tried to use
Van Dam's own arms to choke himself with.

1533
01:13:20,763 --> 01:13:22,331
[JR] He's countered by Van Dam.

1534
01:13:22,831 --> 01:13:24,600
Van Dam got one kick in.

1535
01:13:24,666 --> 01:13:26,668
But it's not enough, and Benoit,

1536
01:13:26,735 --> 01:13:29,204
boy, that's why he's called
the rabid Wolverine.

1537
01:13:29,271 --> 01:13:35,043
He has absolutely no back up,
no side-step, for Benoit.

1538
01:13:35,110 --> 01:13:37,379
He is a real machine in there tonight.

1539
01:13:37,446 --> 01:13:40,382
Oh, nice back heel trip by Rob Van Dam.

1540
01:13:40,449 --> 01:13:41,483
Van Dam…

1541
01:13:42,117 --> 01:13:43,619
A little Rolling Thunder, but again,

1542
01:13:43,685 --> 01:13:45,788
it didn't hit,
and there's a Crippler Crossface.

1543
01:13:45,854 --> 01:13:46,855
[Lawler] Oh boy, this is…

1544
01:13:46,922 --> 01:13:48,524
[JR] Benoit's got it cinched in, King.

1545
01:13:49,291 --> 01:13:51,193
In the middle of the ring this time.

1546
01:13:53,328 --> 01:13:55,697
Van Dam looking
for the ropes with his feet.

1547
01:13:56,331 --> 01:13:59,802
But Van Dam can see… He can feel
how far he is away from the ropes.

1548
01:13:59,868 --> 01:14:03,071
[Lawler] I'm afraid he's too far
for his feet or his hands.

1549
01:14:03,138 --> 01:14:03,972
This is bad.

1550
01:14:04,039 --> 01:14:06,775
-[JR] It may be a matter of seconds…
-[Lawler] Wait!

1551
01:14:08,210 --> 01:14:10,212
[JR] Van Dam broke… He broke free.

1552
01:14:10,279 --> 01:14:12,548
At least for the moment.
There's a roll-up.

1553
01:14:12,614 --> 01:14:14,616
The roll-up. He got… No!

1554
01:14:15,984 --> 01:14:18,287
[Lawler] Both of these guys
know each other so well.

1555
01:14:18,353 --> 01:14:20,722
It's like they anticipate
each other's moves.

1556
01:14:21,590 --> 01:14:24,026
[JR] Benoit the great counter. Rolling up.

1557
01:14:24,092 --> 01:14:27,262
Rob Van Dam, and then… Oh! The hammerlock.

1558
01:14:27,329 --> 01:14:31,200
And the shoulder aimed perfectly
at the steel ring post.

1559
01:14:33,569 --> 01:14:37,105
Benoit is relentless, to say the least.

1560
01:14:37,172 --> 01:14:39,374
Now trying to hyperextend that elbow.

1561
01:14:39,441 --> 01:14:41,477
Again, focusing on the left arm.

1562
01:14:41,543 --> 01:14:44,646
Remember,
Van Dam is a right-handed athlete.

1563
01:14:45,414 --> 01:14:47,549
[Lawler] Watch this.
And listen to this contact.

1564
01:14:47,616 --> 01:14:49,017
-[RVD screaming]
-[Lawler] Man.

1565
01:14:49,585 --> 01:14:51,920
[JR] The reason I brang that up…
Look out here.

1566
01:14:51,987 --> 01:14:53,922
Nice Northern Lights suplex by Benoit.

1567
01:14:53,989 --> 01:14:55,557
Benoit floats over.

1568
01:14:56,625 --> 01:14:59,828
He still held onto that arm
in the hammerlock position.

1569
01:15:08,070 --> 01:15:10,539
And Benoit, like a pit bull dog.

1570
01:15:10,606 --> 01:15:13,542
Still holding onto that arm
of Rob Van Dam.

1571
01:15:13,609 --> 01:15:15,978
[Lawler] And hair.
He's trying to break Van Dam's arm off.

1572
01:15:16,044 --> 01:15:19,715
[JR] Two Northern Lights suplexes
right on that damaged shoulder

1573
01:15:19,781 --> 01:15:21,116
of Rob Van Dam.

1574
01:15:21,183 --> 01:15:23,652
How much longer can Van Dam last?

1575
01:15:23,719 --> 01:15:26,288
A third Northern Lights, and again…

1576
01:15:27,022 --> 01:15:30,859
Benoit… Benoit wants to…
He is severely wanting to…

1577
01:15:31,793 --> 01:15:34,363
-To make Van Dam submit.
-[Lawler] There it is.

1578
01:15:34,429 --> 01:15:37,199
[JR] And to tap out here.
And that may be what we get.

1579
01:15:37,266 --> 01:15:38,700
We may be there now.

1580
01:15:39,401 --> 01:15:43,305
Again, Van Dam a long way away
from the ropes.

1581
01:15:44,806 --> 01:15:46,708
And then Benoit wrenching.

1582
01:15:46,775 --> 01:15:48,076
The hands locked.

1583
01:15:48,143 --> 01:15:51,580
[Lawler] I don't see how… I don't see
how Van Dam is withstanding this.

1584
01:15:51,647 --> 01:15:52,848
Why is he not tapping out?

1585
01:15:52,915 --> 01:15:55,517
[JR] It is the will to be
the Intercontinental Champion.

1586
01:15:55,584 --> 01:15:59,288
The will to bring
the Intercontinental Title back to Raw.

1587
01:15:59,354 --> 01:16:01,356
[crowd chanting] RVD! RVD!

1588
01:16:02,991 --> 01:16:04,993
[Lawler] These fans with the RVD chant…

1589
01:16:05,627 --> 01:16:10,032
[JR] This is the only
inter-promotional match on SummerSlam.

1590
01:16:10,098 --> 01:16:11,800
-And Van Dam…
-[Lawler] Oh, look at this.

1591
01:16:13,402 --> 01:16:14,903
[JR] Benoit blocking that…

1592
01:16:15,804 --> 01:16:18,507
That arm extended
out to the ropes by Van Dam.

1593
01:16:18,574 --> 01:16:21,877
Benoit blocking that,
and now Benoit getting his back

1594
01:16:21,944 --> 01:16:25,414
between RVD and the closest ring ropes.

1595
01:16:34,623 --> 01:16:36,625
Great technique by Benoit.

1596
01:16:36,692 --> 01:16:38,627
-[Lawler] Look at this!
-[JR] Look at this!

1597
01:16:38,694 --> 01:16:40,395
-I can't believe it!
-[Lawler] Hey!

1598
01:16:40,462 --> 01:16:43,999
[JR] Van Dam's got the Crippler Crossface
on the innovator of that maneuver!

1599
01:16:44,933 --> 01:16:48,236
-And he doesn't have it long.
-[Lawler] Won't stay long, you're right.

1600
01:16:49,938 --> 01:16:52,574
I gotta tell you, that's gotta
tick the Wolverine off right there.

1601
01:16:52,641 --> 01:16:55,911
[JR] Before Van Dam could get up,
he got dropkicked right in the face

1602
01:16:55,978 --> 01:16:57,479
from his knees.

1603
01:16:57,546 --> 01:17:00,582
And Van Dam trying to get
the circulation and blood flowing

1604
01:17:00,649 --> 01:17:02,718
back in that arm and shoulder.

1605
01:17:04,620 --> 01:17:07,122
And this is so physically intense.

1606
01:17:10,292 --> 01:17:14,262
Shots right to that shoulder
by the Intercontinental Champion.

1607
01:17:14,896 --> 01:17:17,532
Benoit's title on the line here
at SummerSlam.

1608
01:17:17,599 --> 01:17:19,468
-[Lawler] Oh!
-[JR] Springboard!

1609
01:17:19,534 --> 01:17:22,537
[Lawler] That big kick, right in
the throat of The Wolverine.

1610
01:17:22,604 --> 01:17:24,106
That could take a lot out of him.

1611
01:17:25,841 --> 01:17:29,311
[JR] Almost out of desperation
was that kick by Van Dam.

1612
01:17:29,378 --> 01:17:33,582
Gets his back down.
Makes the cover. But it's Benoit who…

1613
01:17:34,383 --> 01:17:37,119
shoots that right shoulder off the canvas.

1614
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,489
[Lawler] Both of these guys have
pulled out all the stops

1615
01:17:40,555 --> 01:17:42,691
and they're both
physically spent right now.

1616
01:17:42,758 --> 01:17:43,792
[RVD screaming]

1617
01:17:44,359 --> 01:17:46,094
[JR] Oh! The stepover!

1618
01:17:46,161 --> 01:17:48,497
What a big shot that was by Van Dam,

1619
01:17:48,563 --> 01:17:53,035
who's desperately trying to fight his way
back in this championship match.

1620
01:17:53,101 --> 01:17:54,703
-Rolling Thunder!
-[Lawler] He hit it!

1621
01:17:54,770 --> 01:17:56,238
It hit this time.

1622
01:17:56,304 --> 01:17:58,306
Van Dam, with a Rolling Thunder.

1623
01:17:58,373 --> 01:18:00,642
Going for the title!
Oh, and he got a near fall.

1624
01:18:02,310 --> 01:18:05,013
Rob Van Dam going for
the Intercontinental Title.

1625
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:07,482
It was a second away on that exchange.

1626
01:18:09,651 --> 01:18:11,953
-The Irish whip.
-[wrestlers grunting]

1627
01:18:12,854 --> 01:18:15,123
Oh, Van Dam.
Instinctively went for that shoulder.

1628
01:18:15,190 --> 01:18:17,592
A shoulder block.
May have hurt himself again.

1629
01:18:17,659 --> 01:18:20,062
Spinning heel kick. Knocked him down.
Chris Benoit.

1630
01:18:20,128 --> 01:18:22,964
There's a cover. The hook of the leg.
Will it be? Not this time.

1631
01:18:23,532 --> 01:18:26,501
Not this time.
Another near fall by the challenger.

1632
01:18:26,568 --> 01:18:28,170
[Lawler] What is it going to take?

1633
01:18:28,236 --> 01:18:29,971
I don't know if there's
anything that's gonna

1634
01:18:30,038 --> 01:18:32,007
put that Wolverine down
for the three-count.

1635
01:18:33,308 --> 01:18:35,944
[JR] Oh oh. Van Dam looking
for that monkey flip.

1636
01:18:36,011 --> 01:18:37,145
Got that reversed,

1637
01:18:37,713 --> 01:18:39,715
-and Van Dam…
-[Lawler] Oh!

1638
01:18:39,781 --> 01:18:40,816
[JR] Aw, man.

1639
01:18:41,316 --> 01:18:43,318
That is not a good place to land

1640
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:47,222
-for most male athletes, I'll tell you.
-[Lawler] You got that right.

1641
01:18:47,289 --> 01:18:50,759
[JR] And look at this. Right on the
shoulder. Around the back of the neck.

1642
01:18:50,826 --> 01:18:53,695
The back of the neck the focus
of Chris Benoit.

1643
01:18:54,196 --> 01:18:55,764
He is an animal.

1644
01:18:58,266 --> 01:18:59,401
[Lawler] Oh, look!

1645
01:19:00,836 --> 01:19:03,739
[JR] Benoit looking for a suplex.
It was countered in midair

1646
01:19:03,805 --> 01:19:06,074
into the crossbody by RVD.

1647
01:19:06,141 --> 01:19:08,810
RVD may have knocked the breath
out of himself there.

1648
01:19:08,877 --> 01:19:11,613
[Lawler] A lot of damage done
to both men on that maneuver.

1649
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,248
[JR] This is anybody's ballgame.

1650
01:19:13,315 --> 01:19:17,018
Oh, look at this. Wait a minute.
Maybe not! Maybe I spoke too soon.

1651
01:19:17,085 --> 01:19:20,055
-[Lawler] Got him!
-[JR] The Five-Star! Turning in midair!

1652
01:19:20,122 --> 01:19:22,057
Can it be? The leg is hooked!

1653
01:19:22,124 --> 01:19:24,126
-[bell ringing]
-[Lawler] Look at that, JR!

1654
01:19:24,192 --> 01:19:26,595
Van Dam! Van Dam wins it!

1655
01:19:27,462 --> 01:19:29,197
-Yes!
-[announcer] And new

1656
01:19:29,264 --> 01:19:33,368
WWE Intercontinental Champion,

1657
01:19:33,435 --> 01:19:36,304
Rob Van Dam!

1658
01:19:36,371 --> 01:19:39,174
[Lawler] Eat your heart out,
Stephanie McMahon and SmackDown!

1659
01:19:39,241 --> 01:19:42,043
[JR] One hell of a wrestling match,
let me tell you.

1660
01:19:42,110 --> 01:19:46,515
As physically intense,
as stiff a competition,

1661
01:19:46,581 --> 01:19:48,216
as perhaps you will ever see,

1662
01:19:48,283 --> 01:19:52,387
between Van Dam,
the new Intercontinental Champion,

1663
01:19:52,454 --> 01:19:54,456
and Chris Benoit.

1664
01:19:54,523 --> 01:19:57,058
[Lawler] Boy,
that big Five-Star Frog Splash

1665
01:19:57,793 --> 01:20:01,062
brought the Intercontinental Championship
back to Raw, JR.

1666
01:20:01,997 --> 01:20:04,833
[JR] Van Dam missed a Five-Star earlier.

1667
01:20:04,900 --> 01:20:06,268
But not when it counted.

1668
01:20:06,835 --> 01:20:09,671
[Lawler] Boy, he didn't miss this one.
Look at that. Bang!

1669
01:20:09,738 --> 01:20:11,740
[JR] Adjusting his body in midair.

1670
01:20:11,807 --> 01:20:14,376
An amazing athlete, Rob Van Dam,

1671
01:20:14,442 --> 01:20:19,080
has brought the Intercontinental
Championship back to Raw.

1672
01:20:19,147 --> 01:20:21,583
[Lawler] And we will see him
with that championship

1673
01:20:21,650 --> 01:20:24,386
Monday night at Madison Square Garden, JR.

1674
01:20:26,388 --> 01:20:27,322
Wow, good job!

1675
01:20:27,956 --> 01:20:30,458
I think it's safe for you, uh,

1676
01:20:31,092 --> 01:20:37,232
to adhere to this old saying,
"never say never."

1677
01:20:37,732 --> 01:20:39,301
[chuckling]

1678
01:20:40,235 --> 01:20:41,603
[Stephanie sighs]

1679
01:20:41,670 --> 01:20:47,976
You can watch the Intercontinental
Championship from now on, on Raw.

1680
01:20:56,218 --> 01:20:58,220
[laughs hysterically]

1681
01:21:01,923 --> 01:21:03,191

[loud rock guitar playing]

1683

The American Badass,

1685
01:21:11,633 --> 01:21:14,769
and maybe the baddest of all
The Un-Americans, Test.

1686
01:21:14,836 --> 01:21:18,106
A lot of people are wondering,
"Who are these Un-Americans?"

1687
01:21:18,173 --> 01:21:20,909
"Why are they here?
What is their motivation?"

1688
01:21:20,976 --> 01:21:23,912
Well, perhaps this will explain.

[music distorts]

1691
01:21:46,434 --> 01:21:51,373
[Storm] We've had all we can take
of this "America the Beautiful" crap!

1692
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:54,576
Because we have a message for America!

1693
01:21:54,643 --> 01:22:00,115
[Test] The world hates America.
We hate America.

1694
01:22:00,181 --> 01:22:02,651
[JR] Go home if you don't like being here.

1695
01:22:02,717 --> 01:22:05,253
[Storm] You see this upside-down flag?

1696
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:11,860
It stands for the upside-down beliefs
and values of American society.

1697
01:22:11,927 --> 01:22:16,398
How is it the average teen can list
every Britney Spears song,

1698
01:22:16,464 --> 01:22:19,000
but they can't list the Bill of Rights?

1699
01:22:19,067 --> 01:22:20,535
You're all ignorant!

1700
01:22:20,602 --> 01:22:24,673
[JR] This is absolutely disrespectful.
That's all its meant to be.

1701
01:22:24,739 --> 01:22:28,276
[Lawler] Boy, and these Un-Americans,
Christian, Lance Storm, and Test,

1702
01:22:28,343 --> 01:22:31,279
if they ever get a man down,
they'll be glad to kick him.

1703
01:22:31,346 --> 01:22:35,283
[JR] Our American flag, those damn shirts,
with our flag upside-down,

1704
01:22:35,350 --> 01:22:39,587
this group right here makes me
absolutely physically ill.

1705
01:22:39,654 --> 01:22:41,022
To hell with The Un-Americans.

1706
01:22:41,089 --> 01:22:43,224
America sucks!

["This is a Test" playing]

[Lawler] They can't make their feelings
any plainer than that, can they, JR?

1710
01:22:52,767 --> 01:22:54,436
[JR] Absolutely not.

1711
01:22:54,502 --> 01:22:57,272
Look at this. Again, the flag upside-down.

1712
01:22:57,339 --> 01:22:58,273
The distress signal.

1713
01:22:58,340 --> 01:23:01,443
Maybe if someone else was carrying
that flag, that would be distress

1714
01:23:01,509 --> 01:23:03,511
before this one was all said and done.

1715
01:23:03,578 --> 01:23:06,948
[Lawler] You know, this was supposed to be
the first time we saw Test here tonight.

1716
01:23:07,015 --> 01:23:08,850
But unfortunately, he figured heavily

1717
01:23:08,917 --> 01:23:11,152
in the outcome
of the Tag Team Title match earlier.

[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

Introducing first,
representing The Un-Americans,

weighing 282 pounds,

1722
01:23:22,697 --> 01:23:23,732
Test!

1723
01:23:24,666 --> 01:23:27,702
This man is an embarrassment
to the Raw brand,

1724
01:23:28,703 --> 01:23:30,205
as far as I'm concerned.

1725
01:23:30,271 --> 01:23:34,976
And I know we live in a society
where you can express yourself freely…

1726
01:23:36,845 --> 01:23:38,847
["Dead Man" playing]

1727
01:23:40,782 --> 01:23:43,485
[Lawler] Here comes somebody
who knows how to express himself, JR.

1728
01:23:45,453 --> 01:23:47,455
[JR] Yeah, with a soup bone or two.

1729
01:23:47,522 --> 01:23:52,093
[announcer] From Houston, Texas,
weighing 305 pounds,

1730

The Undertaker!

1731
01:23:56,531 --> 01:23:59,067
[JR] He may be The Undertaker
to the fans around the world,

1732
01:23:59,134 --> 01:24:05,774
but tonight I think he's gonna be 6'10",
305-pound American Badass.

1733
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:10,211
And I know those great kids from
Tough Enough III are watching this one.

1734

And I can guarantee you
who those kids are cheering for.

That man on that motorcycle.
The Undertaker.

1736
01:24:17,452 --> 01:24:19,454
[Lawler] You see the look
on The Undertaker's face?

1737
01:24:20,188 --> 01:24:23,758
[JR] Oh, it's go-time, baby.
This ain't gonna be no wrestling match.

1738
01:24:24,659 --> 01:24:28,363
The Undertaker's been
a WWE Champion four times.

1739
01:24:28,430 --> 01:24:30,465
Tag Champion seven times.

1740
01:24:30,532 --> 01:24:32,400
But this is not about gold.

1741
01:24:32,467 --> 01:24:34,469
This is about American pride.

1742
01:24:34,536 --> 01:24:36,037
And pride for your country.

1743
01:24:36,571 --> 01:24:39,541
[Lawler] Look at Test. Where you going?
Stay in there, Test!

-There you go.

for The Undertaker.

As bad as they come.

1747
01:24:48,316 --> 01:24:50,952
[Lawler] He is a true free spirit, JR.

1748

He don't take no, uh…

01:24:53,788 --> 01:24:55,990
He don't take no crap off nobody,
and nothing.

1750
01:24:56,057 --> 01:24:59,661
[JR] Well, he said last week on Raw,
that he's not a role model.

1751
01:24:59,727 --> 01:25:01,062
Doesn't intend to be.

1752
01:25:01,129 --> 01:25:02,730
He's an individual.

1753
01:25:02,797 --> 01:25:04,132
And by living in this country,

1754
01:25:04,199 --> 01:25:07,535
has the opportunity to express himself
in that way.

1755
01:25:07,602 --> 01:25:12,574
But these Un-Americans have a different
vision of the land of opportunity.

1756
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:14,642
The home of the free.

1757
01:25:16,811 --> 01:25:21,749
[Lawler] Unfortunately, you can't…
You can't sell Test short.

1758
01:25:21,816 --> 01:25:23,118
I mean, he is a…

1759
01:25:23,184 --> 01:25:25,487
He's a young guy, he's a big guy,

1760
01:25:25,553 --> 01:25:27,288
and he's full of hatred, JR.

1761
01:25:27,355 --> 01:25:32,861
[JR] Test has been living off the
unlimited potential label for a long time.

1762

He's 6'6" or 7", somewhere around 280,
young…

1763
01:25:37,265 --> 01:25:40,268

-[JR] Young and strong.

And certainly The Undertaker

1766
01:25:46,307 --> 01:25:48,776
knows what it's like to feel
that big boot of Test.

1767

The Undertaker went down
for the three-count

1768
01:25:52,046 --> 01:25:56,651
not that long ago in that eight-man
tag match on Raw just a couple weeks ago.

1769
01:25:56,718 --> 01:25:59,320
And a hard shoulder block by Test.

-[Lawler] Hey, you see The Taker?
-[JR] The Undertaker. He might take over.

1772
01:26:05,793 --> 01:26:07,295
With a lot of authority.

[Test grunting loudly]

[JR] Undertaker,
that shoulder-to-shoulder contact.

1775
01:26:12,467 --> 01:26:16,671
And again, The Undertaker,
using his shoulder like a battering ram,

1776
01:26:16,738 --> 01:26:18,673

1778
01:26:20,742 --> 01:26:23,912
deep into the solar plexus
of The American Badass.

01:26:25,113 --> 01:26:27,048
-[Lawler] Oh, yes!
-[JR] Taken down in the air.

-[ref] No! Two!

1782
01:26:32,353 --> 01:26:35,623
[Lawler] Great.
Man, he knocked Test for a complete flip.

1783
01:26:37,959 --> 01:26:39,961
You know what, JR?

1784
01:26:40,528 --> 01:26:43,264
There's a lot of pressure
on both of these guys in this match,

1785
01:26:43,331 --> 01:26:45,867
because it's more than personal.

1786
01:26:45,934 --> 01:26:49,837
These guys gotta feel like
they're fighting for a belief.

1787
01:26:50,705 --> 01:26:53,875
[JR] That's right, yeah, you're right.
This is beyond personal.

1788
01:26:53,942 --> 01:26:57,111
Pressure now, when it's The Undertaker,
looking for a little old school here.

1789
01:26:57,178 --> 01:27:01,082
Look at the balance.
A man nearly seven feet tall. Oh!

1790
01:27:01,149 --> 01:27:04,686
A reckless Test turns the referee
into the ropes.

1791
01:27:04,752 --> 01:27:07,322
The ref knocked
The Undertaker off balance.

1792
01:27:08,122 --> 01:27:11,993
[Lawler] Well, that's typical Un-American,
that's showing no respect, whatsoever.

1793
01:27:12,660 --> 01:27:16,464
No respect for the old school values
of The Undertaker there.

1794
01:27:17,298 --> 01:27:18,800
Have a look at that again.

1795
01:27:18,900 --> 01:27:19,867
Watch Test.

1796
01:27:21,069 --> 01:27:23,137
[JR] Undertaker straddling that top rope.

1797
01:27:23,204 --> 01:27:26,474
Test using the referee
almost like a tag team partner.

1798
01:27:26,541 --> 01:27:30,111
Certainly an unwilling tag team partner
on that exchange.

1799
01:27:30,178 --> 01:27:34,249
And that has given Test
the upper hand in this matchup.

1800
01:27:35,183 --> 01:27:37,785
[Lawler] Referee probably could have
disqualified Test for that.

1801
01:27:37,852 --> 01:27:41,022
But I guarantee you, The Undertaker
wouldn't want to win that way.

1802
01:27:41,089 --> 01:27:43,524
He wants to beat Test.
He wants to prove a point here. Look out!

1803
01:27:43,591 --> 01:27:46,794
[JR] The Undertaker,
both knees driven into those steps,

1804
01:27:46,861 --> 01:27:48,730
unhinging the ring steps.

1805
01:27:48,796 --> 01:27:52,166
Test is a big, powerful, young competitor.

1806
01:27:54,068 --> 01:27:56,904
There's no doubt in my mind
that someday soon

1807
01:27:56,971 --> 01:28:00,775
that Test will be wearing
some major gold around his waist,

1808
01:28:00,842 --> 01:28:03,378
but again tonight, it's not about gold.

1809
01:28:03,444 --> 01:28:05,913
[Lawler] What a lousy,
rotten attitude this guy has.

1810
01:28:06,814 --> 01:28:09,651
You've been around him, JR.
You've tried to talk to him.

1811
01:28:09,717 --> 01:28:11,386
He's got a rotten attitude.

1812
01:28:11,452 --> 01:28:15,323
[JR] I used to have a decent
conversation with this guy.

1813
01:28:15,390 --> 01:28:19,260
But not in the last several weeks
since this Un-American thing was created

1814
01:28:19,327 --> 01:28:21,696
by Storm and Christian and Test.

1815
01:28:22,764 --> 01:28:25,500
[Lawler] Sticks his nose in the air,
thinks he's better than everybody.

1816
01:28:25,566 --> 01:28:27,669
At least, better than everybody
in the United States.

1817
01:28:27,735 --> 01:28:28,870
[Undertaker exclaiming]

1818
01:28:28,936 --> 01:28:31,272
[JR] A reverse elbow by Test

1819
01:28:31,339 --> 01:28:34,642
finding its mark on
that exposed head of The Undertaker.

1820
01:28:34,709 --> 01:28:37,045
Undertaker, 12 years in this company.

1821
01:28:37,111 --> 01:28:39,514
-[ref] Two! Three! Four!
-[JR] As distinguished a career

1822
01:28:39,580 --> 01:28:44,352
as any man has ever had
in our business in the WWE.

1823
01:28:44,419 --> 01:28:45,753
No doubt about that.

1824
01:28:46,487 --> 01:28:49,123
Undertaker going downstairs,
lower abdomen of Test.

1825
01:28:49,190 --> 01:28:51,292
Before The Undertaker
could turn the corner,

1826
01:28:51,359 --> 01:28:52,860
and build that momentum, King,

1827
01:28:52,927 --> 01:28:57,832
it's Test cutting The Undertaker off
with his own high-impact offense.

1828
01:28:57,899 --> 01:29:00,735
[Lawler] Like we said, you cannot
sell Test short. This guy is strong.

1829
01:29:00,802 --> 01:29:01,869
He's big. He's powerful.

1830
01:29:02,503 --> 01:29:05,840
When he hits you with one of those knees,
or one of those, you're gonna feel it.

1831
01:29:06,507 --> 01:29:07,809
Even if you are The Undertaker.

1832
01:29:09,277 --> 01:29:10,278
[crowd booing]

1833
01:29:10,344 --> 01:29:12,213
[JR] The arrogance of Test.

1834
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:16,517
Conceit of this man.
Looking down on our fans here at ringside.

1835
01:29:16,584 --> 01:29:19,854
And throughout the sold-out arena.
Wasting some time.

1836
01:29:19,921 --> 01:29:21,923
You don't wanna waste time
with The Undertaker.

1837
01:29:22,957 --> 01:29:25,693
Test comes back with that knee
again to the midsection,

1838
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,596
and a hard clothesline from the left side,

1839
01:29:29,097 --> 01:29:33,534
going even on
the right or the left side by Test.

1840
01:29:34,602 --> 01:29:37,638
And now Test using
that right knee as a post

1841
01:29:38,206 --> 01:29:40,675
right on The Undertaker's ear
to keep him grounded,

1842
01:29:40,742 --> 01:29:42,677
as a leverage point, there you see it.

1843
01:29:44,245 --> 01:29:46,848
[Lawler] The Undertaker needs
to get up here, build some momentum.

1844
01:29:48,916 --> 01:29:53,087
And you know, it's… It doesn't look right
seeing The Undertaker on his back,

1845
01:29:53,154 --> 01:29:54,956
not in control of the match.

1846
01:29:55,022 --> 01:29:58,059
[JR] Not at SummerSlam, not in America,

1847
01:29:59,060 --> 01:30:00,161
and not with this…

1848
01:30:01,829 --> 01:30:04,332
Well, I'm not even gonna say
what I was thinking about this man.

1849
01:30:04,398 --> 01:30:06,434
His mommy and daddy may be watching.

1850
01:30:06,501 --> 01:30:08,302
I don't know proud
they could be of this man.

1851
01:30:08,369 --> 01:30:10,772
Undertaker trying to
fight his way back up.

1852
01:30:11,272 --> 01:30:13,875
That proverbial vertical base,

1853
01:30:13,941 --> 01:30:16,577
that's where The Undertaker does his best.

1854
01:30:16,644 --> 01:30:18,746
He is not a mat wrestler, per se.

1855
01:30:18,813 --> 01:30:22,016
He is a, more of a street fighter,
is The Undertaker.

1856
01:30:22,083 --> 01:30:23,384
He'll beat you in a lot of ways,

1857
01:30:23,451 --> 01:30:25,586
but he beats most people
when he's vertical.

1858
01:30:25,653 --> 01:30:27,755
-[Lawler] There you go!
-[JR] Both feet underneath him.

1859
01:30:27,822 --> 01:30:30,458
Pops those hips, The Undertaker does,
and that suplex.

1860
01:30:31,159 --> 01:30:32,493
Getting underneath Test.

1861
01:30:35,229 --> 01:30:38,399
Undertaker measuring,
and Test avoided the contact.

1862
01:30:38,466 --> 01:30:42,603
Undertaker had a bead on the heart
of the big Un-American.

1863
01:30:44,639 --> 01:30:46,107
Undertaker taking a deep breath,

1864
01:30:46,174 --> 01:30:49,143
and scoring with the right hand
with Test fighting right back.

1865
01:30:49,710 --> 01:30:52,447
[Lawler] Well, I like this
because if it boils down to

1866
01:30:52,513 --> 01:30:55,650
just a flat-out street brawl,
a good old back-alley street brawl,

1867
01:30:55,716 --> 01:30:57,718
we know who's gonna
come out on top of that.

1868
01:30:58,386 --> 01:31:01,322
Soup bone is The Undertaker's specialty.
DDT!

1869
01:31:02,023 --> 01:31:03,424
Test lowered his head.

1870
01:31:03,491 --> 01:31:05,293
He got DDT'ed for his efforts.

1871
01:31:05,359 --> 01:31:07,295
There's a cover. No! Test kicked out.

1872
01:31:08,095 --> 01:31:09,530
Gotta hand it to him.

1873
01:31:09,597 --> 01:31:12,233
Very resilient. Showing his toughness,

1874
01:31:12,300 --> 01:31:14,535
and will to win, is Test.

1875
01:31:15,570 --> 01:31:16,704
[Lawler chuckling]

1876
01:31:17,338 --> 01:31:20,007
[JR] Undertaker gonna
try to take Test back to school.

1877
01:31:20,074 --> 01:31:23,077
[Lawler] He's gonna get this in
one way or the other. There you go.

1878
01:31:23,144 --> 01:31:26,714
[JR] A little… Little old school
for The Undertaker walking the top rope.

1879
01:31:26,781 --> 01:31:29,217
[Lawler] There was no referee to shove
into the ropes that time

1880
01:31:29,283 --> 01:31:30,718
within arms' reach of Test.

1881
01:31:31,686 --> 01:31:32,854
[JR] Undertaker now…

1882
01:31:35,189 --> 01:31:38,626
sees the opportunity here
to really build some momentum.

1883
01:31:38,693 --> 01:31:42,530
High impact Irish whip to snake eyes.

1884
01:31:42,597 --> 01:31:44,899
Oh, The Undertaker looking
for that big foot.

1885
01:31:44,966 --> 01:31:46,667
Downstairs goes Test.

1886
01:31:47,468 --> 01:31:49,470
Test looking for that pumphandle slam.

1887
01:31:49,537 --> 01:31:51,839
[Lawler] He's gonna hit.
No, wait, reverse!

1888
01:31:51,906 --> 01:31:53,908
-[JR] Undertaking reversing.
-[crowd cheering wildly]

1889
01:31:53,975 --> 01:31:55,009
Look at Test's face!

1890
01:31:56,077 --> 01:31:58,513
Sheer fright, and rightfully so.

1891
01:31:58,579 --> 01:32:00,081
Test fights out of it.

1892
01:32:00,147 --> 01:32:02,016
In desperation, fights out of it.

1893
01:32:02,083 --> 01:32:03,484
Looking for that big boot.

1894
01:32:03,551 --> 01:32:05,353
-Test, oh my!
-[Lawler] Got him again!

1895
01:32:05,419 --> 01:32:07,922
-[JR] The American Badass!
-[Lawler] Ride into the mat!

1896
01:32:07,989 --> 01:32:09,390
[JR] What a ride!

1897
01:32:09,457 --> 01:32:14,629
A red, white, and blue,
all-American Chokeslam.

1898
01:32:14,695 --> 01:32:16,564
-[ref] One! Two!
-[JR] The cover!

1899
01:32:16,631 --> 01:32:19,000
-Oh my God!
-No, that's two! He got up.

1900
01:32:19,500 --> 01:32:20,902
[JR] I'll tell you what,

1901
01:32:20,968 --> 01:32:24,338
you can count on one hand the number
of people who've ever kicked out

1902
01:32:24,405 --> 01:32:26,707
from a Chokeslam from The Undertaker.

1903
01:32:26,774 --> 01:32:30,144
[Lawler] Well, The Undertaker's still got
some more plans for…

1904
01:32:31,078 --> 01:32:32,446
Hey, wait a minute. Look at this.

1905
01:32:32,513 --> 01:32:36,250
-[JR] Aw, damn it. Lance Storm…
-[Lawler] Hey, give him a ride too.

1906
01:32:36,317 --> 01:32:39,353
[JR] Now The Undertaker's
in a three-on-one…

1907
01:32:39,420 --> 01:32:42,290
Undertaker's taking matters…
He's fighting for his life here.

1908
01:32:42,356 --> 01:32:44,959
Undertaker brought
those two men in the ring.

1909
01:32:45,026 --> 01:32:48,296
Referee can't disqualify them
for being brought into the ring.

1910
01:32:48,362 --> 01:32:49,430
[Lawler] Look at this!

1911
01:32:50,498 --> 01:32:52,767
[JR] Up and down! The Chokeslam.

1912
01:32:52,833 --> 01:32:54,635
[Lawler] What a huge Chokeslam.

1913
01:32:55,336 --> 01:32:57,838
[JR] One tag champion just got drilled.

1914
01:32:58,406 --> 01:33:01,909
And there's the other one.
But watch Test! Oh, Test!

1915
01:33:01,976 --> 01:33:03,444
Test got the shot in.

1916
01:33:04,011 --> 01:33:05,012
He's gonna win it again.

1917
01:33:05,079 --> 01:33:07,581
Oh my God! The Undertaker.

1918
01:33:07,648 --> 01:33:11,018
The Undertaker kicks out,
and Test cannot believe it.

1919
01:33:11,986 --> 01:33:14,622
Test scored with that big kick,

1920
01:33:14,689 --> 01:33:18,092
but somewhere,
The Undertaker reached down in his guts,

1921
01:33:18,159 --> 01:33:20,161
and kicked out before the three-count.

1922
01:33:20,227 --> 01:33:21,929
[Lawler] Oh, look at Test. He's hot.

1923
01:33:22,463 --> 01:33:23,764
Now what?

1924
01:33:25,066 --> 01:33:29,337
[JR] Test's gotta be thinking, "I couldn't
beat him with a kick to the face,

1925
01:33:29,403 --> 01:33:31,539
and now I'll just tear his head off."

1926
01:33:31,606 --> 01:33:34,175
-[Lawler] Watch it. Ref--
-[JR] The hell with a victory.

1927
01:33:35,876 --> 01:33:39,380
Referee Jack Doan over matched here.

1928
01:33:39,447 --> 01:33:41,315
[Lawler exclaiming]

1929
01:33:41,882 --> 01:33:44,352
[JR] The chair right back
in the face of Test.

1930
01:33:45,252 --> 01:33:47,655
And the… Oh, look at this! Tombstone!

1931
01:33:47,722 --> 01:33:49,323
-[Lawler] Here you go!
-[JR] Tombstone!

1932
01:33:49,390 --> 01:33:50,224
[crowd cheering]

1933
01:33:50,291 --> 01:33:52,660
[JR] Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver!

1934
01:33:52,727 --> 01:33:55,296
[Lawler] This is the way we plan it
in the good, old USA!

1935
01:33:56,497 --> 01:33:59,033
-[JR] The Tombstone Piledriver!
-[crowd] One! Two! Three!

1936
01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:01,369
-[Lawler] Yes!
-[JR] The American Badass

1937
01:34:01,969 --> 01:34:03,404
is dominant!

1938
01:34:03,471 --> 01:34:07,241
[announcer] Here is your winner,
The Undertaker!

1939
01:34:09,076 --> 01:34:12,747
[JR] The Undertaker
fighting off three Un-Americans!

1940
01:34:14,081 --> 01:34:18,319
And The Undertaker
pulling that Tombstone Piledriver!

1941
01:34:19,587 --> 01:34:22,023
Ran outta mothballs, if you will.

1942
01:34:22,556 --> 01:34:24,925
[Lawler] What a great victory. Now what?

1943
01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:28,162
-[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] Where's he going?

1944
01:34:29,163 --> 01:34:33,934
[JR] Undertaker leaving

[Lawler] There's two things you don't
like about Triple H, and that's his face,

2113
01:44:15,682 --> 01:44:18,385
because only a two-faced individual
would be able to

2114
01:44:18,452 --> 01:44:21,288
stand and put his arm
around Shawn Michaels,

2115
01:44:21,355 --> 01:44:24,458
tell the world that
he's Shawn Michaels' best friend,

2116
01:44:25,058 --> 01:44:28,061
then take Shawn Michaels head
and run it right into the car windshield.

2117
01:44:28,128 --> 01:44:31,331
[JR] This match is
not sanctioned by the WWE.

2118
01:44:31,398 --> 01:44:34,468
Both men have signed hold harmless,

2119
01:44:34,534 --> 01:44:38,505
a contract that basically says
if Shawn Michaels can't…

2120
01:44:38,605 --> 01:44:39,906
Oh, look at this.

2121
01:44:39,973 --> 01:44:43,443
[Lawler] That's just a little more
of that charisma I talked about, JR.

2122
01:44:43,510 --> 01:44:44,478
But you're right.

2123
01:44:44,544 --> 01:44:48,882
As far as Eric Bischoff is concerned,
as far as the WWE is concerned,

2124
01:44:50,050 --> 01:44:51,485
this is not even happening.

2125
01:44:51,551 --> 01:44:53,020
This match is not even taking place.

2126
01:44:53,086 --> 01:44:55,255
[JR] But it's gonna happen. It is real.

2127
01:44:56,957 --> 01:44:59,893
The Showstopper, The Cerebral Assassin.

2128
01:44:59,960 --> 01:45:04,031
And remember, the referee is here only
to count a pinfall,

2129
01:45:04,097 --> 01:45:06,433
or ring the bell, signifying a submission.

2130
01:45:06,500 --> 01:45:08,168
-There's no disqual--
-[Lawler] Here we go!

2131
01:45:08,235 --> 01:45:10,304
[JR] Shawn Michaels
right in the face of The Game.

2132
01:45:10,370 --> 01:45:12,539
-[bell ringing]
-"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels,

2133
01:45:12,606 --> 01:45:15,375
with that Texas pride,
scoring with a right hand.

2134
01:45:15,442 --> 01:45:16,510
[Lawler] Look out.

2135
01:45:16,576 --> 01:45:19,146
[JR] Triple H,
he's trying to distance himself.

2136
01:45:19,212 --> 01:45:21,548
-[Lawler] Look at that!
-[JR] The Spear by Shawn Michaels.

2137
01:45:21,615 --> 01:45:26,086
Hard right hands right there on the man,
his former best friend, Triple H.

2138
01:45:27,387 --> 01:45:29,389
The evil, Cerebral Assassin.

2139
01:45:30,157 --> 01:45:31,758
And Shawn Michaels scoring.

2140
01:45:31,825 --> 01:45:36,863
You've gotta believe that
Shawn Michaels' back, that broken back,

2141
01:45:36,930 --> 01:45:40,434
might as well have a bullseye on it,
as far as The Game is concerned.

2142
01:45:42,436 --> 01:45:44,938
-Michaels, leapfrog, what an athlete.
-[Lawler] Look at this!

2143
01:45:45,005 --> 01:45:47,874
[JR] And Triple H,
Michaels sidestepped The Game.

2144
01:45:47,941 --> 01:45:49,743
The Game went sailing right over the top.

2145
01:45:49,810 --> 01:45:50,711
[Lawler] I'll tell you,

2146
01:45:50,777 --> 01:45:53,413
Triple H has made a big mistake
if he underestimates Shawn Michaels!

2147
01:45:55,549 --> 01:45:57,784
[JR] Crossbody over the top!

2148
01:45:57,851 --> 01:45:59,986
Again, these men can't be counted out.

2149
01:46:00,053 --> 01:46:02,022
Look at those right hands. Look at the…

2150
01:46:02,089 --> 01:46:05,325
Those right hands right into the forehead.

2151
01:46:05,392 --> 01:46:07,427
Right between the eyes of The Game.

2152
01:46:07,494 --> 01:46:10,864
[Lawler] There's some question
as to how much Shawn Michaels has left,

2153
01:46:10,931 --> 01:46:13,266
but I'll guarantee you this,
I'll promise you this,

2154
01:46:13,333 --> 01:46:17,504
he will get every ounce of it,
every bit of it tonight in this match.

2155
01:46:17,571 --> 01:46:19,206
[JR] Shawn Michaels, yes, he will, King.

2156
01:46:19,272 --> 01:46:21,141
He will give us his heart and his soul.

2157
01:46:21,208 --> 01:46:23,009
-[Lawler] Look at that!
-[JR] The Game,

2158
01:46:23,076 --> 01:46:25,879
the side of his head
bouncing off the ring post.

2159
01:46:25,946 --> 01:46:29,850
But, in my view, Shawn Michaels
has gotta get it over early, here.

2160
01:46:29,916 --> 01:46:32,953
He has not wrestled in over four years.

2161
01:46:33,019 --> 01:46:34,354
He looks to be in great shape.

2162
01:46:34,421 --> 01:46:36,389
[Lawler] He looks great.
You gotta give him credit.

2163
01:46:36,456 --> 01:46:37,824
He looks fantastic.

2164
01:46:38,425 --> 01:46:40,227
-[JR] Strong!
-[Lawler] Oh, look at that shot.

2165
01:46:40,293 --> 01:46:43,163
[JR] Shawn Michaels catching
The Game with that clothesline.

2166
01:46:43,230 --> 01:46:45,031
And thus far, in the early going,

2167
01:46:45,098 --> 01:46:47,934
Shawn Michaels has been
extremely offensive.

2168
01:46:48,001 --> 01:46:50,470
-[Lawler] Wait a minute.
-[JR] Again, it's non-sanctioned.

2169
01:46:50,537 --> 01:46:53,073
This goes beyond a hardcore match.

2170
01:46:53,140 --> 01:46:54,641
[Lawler] Wait a minute, now, JR.

2171
01:46:56,543 --> 01:46:58,011
[JR] Michaels throwing a trash can--

2172
01:46:58,078 --> 01:46:59,880
[Lawler] I guess anything's
gonna go in this.

2173
01:46:59,946 --> 01:47:02,916
You're right. There are no rules
in a non-sanctioned match.

2174
01:47:02,983 --> 01:47:04,684
-[Triple H yelling]
-[crowd exclaiming]

2175
01:47:04,751 --> 01:47:06,620
[JR] Downstairs went The Game.

2176
01:47:06,686 --> 01:47:07,721
[Lawler] Look out!

2177
01:47:07,788 --> 01:47:10,624
[JR] Elevating Michaels
right onto the security wall.

2178
01:47:12,058 --> 01:47:15,796
Michaels bouncing off that security wall,
and The Game rolling back in.

2179
01:47:17,164 --> 01:47:20,367
[Lawler] There's so many things
that gotta be going through the mind

2180
01:47:20,433 --> 01:47:21,435
of Shawn Michaels.

2181
01:47:21,501 --> 01:47:25,105
I mean, first of all, he's in
the ring going against the man that

2182
01:47:25,172 --> 01:47:27,908
just a few weeks ago
thought was his best friend.

2183
01:47:27,974 --> 01:47:30,877
Now he's in the ring, in a match that

2184
01:47:30,944 --> 01:47:32,979
a few weeks ago
we thought he'd never do again.

2185
01:47:33,046 --> 01:47:34,447
[JR] What a shot that was!

2186
01:47:34,514 --> 01:47:35,916
Oh, look at this!

2187
01:47:35,982 --> 01:47:37,884
-Shawn Michaels…
-[Lawler] Vintage Shawn Michaels!

2188
01:47:37,951 --> 01:47:39,486
-[JR] …skinning the cat!
-[Lawler] Wow!

2189
01:47:39,553 --> 01:47:42,389
[JR] And almost beheading Triple H
with a thunderous clothesline.

2190
01:47:42,456 --> 01:47:46,626
"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels,
with his heart as big as Texas.

2191
01:47:46,693 --> 01:47:49,463
Cowboy boots on.
He's here for a street fight.

2192
01:47:49,529 --> 01:47:51,097
A non-sanctioned affair.

2193
01:47:51,164 --> 01:47:53,767
And right between the eyes
with a trashcan.

2194
01:47:53,834 --> 01:47:55,836
And down goes The Game.

2195
01:47:56,403 --> 01:47:59,339
[Lawler] Probably the most important thing
that's going through Shawn's mind

2196
01:47:59,406 --> 01:48:01,308
is the fact that you mentioned Texas.

2197
01:48:01,374 --> 01:48:04,010
That his young son
is sitting at home in Texas watching

2198
01:48:04,077 --> 01:48:05,478
every minute of this.

2199
01:48:05,545 --> 01:48:07,647
[JR] Watching his daddy
for the first time.

2200
01:48:07,714 --> 01:48:10,150
The shot. Michaels off the top rope.

2201
01:48:10,217 --> 01:48:11,084
[crowd cheering]

2202
01:48:11,151 --> 01:48:13,153
[JR] Shawn Michaels
will wanna get it over early.

2203
01:48:13,220 --> 01:48:15,555
He's done a hell of a job
with his game plan.

2204
01:48:15,622 --> 01:48:17,624
And Michaels may be
warming up the band, King.

2205
01:48:17,691 --> 01:48:20,494
It could be time
for some Sweet Chin Music.

2206
01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:21,394
[Lawler] Yeah!

2207
01:48:22,128 --> 01:48:23,597
Let's see it. Let's hear it!

2208
01:48:23,663 --> 01:48:25,465
[JR] He went for it. Couldn't find it.

2209
01:48:25,532 --> 01:48:27,267
And The Game… Oh, look out!

2210
01:48:27,334 --> 01:48:30,303
The Game, by God!
By God, what a backbreaker.

2211
01:48:30,370 --> 01:48:33,106
What a vicious, powerful backbreaker.

2212
01:48:33,173 --> 01:48:36,910
[Lawler] You said it. The bullseye
on the back of Shawn Michaels.

2213
01:48:36,977 --> 01:48:40,280
[JR] And the referee asking Shawn Michaels
if he wants to stop this match.

2214
01:48:40,347 --> 01:48:42,349
[screaming] I can't. No.

2215
01:48:42,849 --> 01:48:44,317
[JR] Shawn Michaels saying, "No."

2216
01:48:44,384 --> 01:48:46,286
Emphatically, "No."

2217
01:48:46,353 --> 01:48:49,222
Nobody knows,
I don't think even Shawn Michaels knows,

2218
01:48:49,289 --> 01:48:52,325
how much pain and punishment
his back can take.

2219
01:48:52,392 --> 01:48:54,327
[Lawler] Let's take a look one more time.

2220
01:48:54,394 --> 01:48:56,396
Feel the impact. Man. Wow.

2221
01:48:56,463 --> 01:49:00,333
[JR] That was as perfectly executed
by The Cerebral Assassin

2222
01:49:00,400 --> 01:49:02,502
as you will ever… Well, not again!
Not another one!

2223
01:49:02,569 --> 01:49:04,070
And another backbreaker.

2224
01:49:04,738 --> 01:49:07,574
The Game said he was gonna try to maim,

2225
01:49:07,641 --> 01:49:10,644
he was gonna try to cripple
and destroy Shawn Michaels.

2226
01:49:10,710 --> 01:49:14,180
It is Triple H's goal,
as perverse as it sounds,

2227
01:49:14,247 --> 01:49:18,718
as hideous as it is,
to see Shawn Michaels in a wheelchair.

2228
01:49:19,319 --> 01:49:22,122
[Lawler] Well, you know I said we saw some

2229
01:49:22,188 --> 01:49:24,424
vintage Shawn Michaels
earlier in this match,

2230
01:49:24,491 --> 01:49:27,093
now we're seeing vintage Triple H.

2231
01:49:27,861 --> 01:49:30,864
This is what made Triple H The Game.

2232
01:49:31,464 --> 01:49:32,399
This…

2233
01:49:32,899 --> 01:49:34,868
Oh, this attitude, and this…

2234
01:49:34,935 --> 01:49:38,572
[JR] Triple H a five-time WWE Champion.

2235
01:49:38,638 --> 01:49:40,006
He didn't get there accidentally.

2236
01:49:40,073 --> 01:49:42,075
Right in, what an Irish whip.

2237
01:49:42,142 --> 01:49:44,878
So much velocity.
Triple H able to lift his feet,

2238
01:49:44,945 --> 01:49:48,548
to send Shawn Michaels like a shot
right to the turnbuckle.

2239
01:49:48,615 --> 01:49:50,617
Again, focusing on that back.

2240
01:49:51,184 --> 01:49:53,186
How healed is the broken back?

2241
01:49:53,253 --> 01:49:55,956
And you say,
"Well, JR, it's been four years."

2242
01:49:56,022 --> 01:49:57,991
For those of you
that have ever had a broken back,

2243
01:49:58,058 --> 01:50:00,360
I am told it never fully heals.

2244
01:50:00,427 --> 01:50:01,828
You never get over it.

2245
01:50:01,895 --> 01:50:05,632
And you damn sure don't get in the ring
with an athlete like Triple H.

2246
01:50:06,833 --> 01:50:09,769
[Lawler] And that's why we knew
this wasn't the smartest decision.

2247
01:50:09,836 --> 01:50:11,438
that Shawn Michaels could make.

2248
01:50:12,539 --> 01:50:14,975
-[JR] Shawn Michaels…
-[crowd exclaiming with dismay]

2249
01:50:15,041 --> 01:50:19,546
[JR] Triple H, totally disrespecting
one of the great legends of our time

2250
01:50:19,612 --> 01:50:22,115
in this business, Shawn Michaels.

2251
01:50:22,716 --> 01:50:26,853
And Triple H is certainly
not going to waste any motion.

2252
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:28,054
[screaming] Oh God!

2253
01:50:28,121 --> 01:50:30,190
[JR] Triple H, the elbow.

2254
01:50:30,256 --> 01:50:32,125
-The point of the elbow.
-[Lawler] Watch this.

2255
01:50:32,792 --> 01:50:34,628
[crowd exclaiming in dismay]

2256
01:50:34,694 --> 01:50:36,563
[JR] Nothing but disrespect.

2257
01:50:36,630 --> 01:50:39,799
But nothing that The Cerebral Assassin
gives a damn about.

2258
01:50:39,866 --> 01:50:42,602
And there's a cover. The first cover.
Here we go!

2259
01:50:42,669 --> 01:50:45,572
And Shawn Michaels able to kick out, King.

2260
01:50:45,639 --> 01:50:48,174
But you gotta wonder, if your back goes,

2261
01:50:48,708 --> 01:50:50,944
the kickouts, they stop happening.

2262
01:50:51,011 --> 01:50:53,380
[Lawler] Yeah, they're gonna be
few and far between.

2263
01:50:53,446 --> 01:50:55,915
[JR] And this is legal.
It's not sanctioned.

2264
01:50:56,583 --> 01:51:00,053
This match, the WWE wants
nothing to do with this match.

2265
01:51:00,820 --> 01:51:02,489
[Lawler] What's he gonna
do with this chair?

2266
01:51:03,123 --> 01:51:05,892
-[JR] The hold harmless--
-[Lawler] No, not his back. No!

2267
01:51:06,693 --> 01:51:08,461
[JR] Right in the lower back!

2268
01:51:08,528 --> 01:51:10,764
Right in the spine of Shawn Michaels!

2269
01:51:10,830 --> 01:51:12,432
And look at this face, King.

2270
01:51:12,966 --> 01:51:14,601
That face tells the story.

2271
01:51:15,135 --> 01:51:17,871
Michaels' legs… His legs are… Oh my God.

2272
01:51:17,937 --> 01:51:20,740
He's gotta be… Oh! It's not over.
It's not over!

2273
01:51:23,109 --> 01:51:26,446
[Lawler] I just wonder if Shawn's
doing the right thing by kicking out.

2274
01:51:28,281 --> 01:51:31,217
-[JR] I tell you what, this audience--
-[Lawler] He might be better off,

2275
01:51:31,284 --> 01:51:33,887
and much better off for his family,
if he just lets this end.

2276
01:51:33,953 --> 01:51:34,988
[JR] You might be right.

2277
01:51:35,055 --> 01:51:38,058
This audience absolutely was hushed
over what we are seeing here.

2278
01:51:38,124 --> 01:51:41,995
They know the jeopardy,
the danger, that Shawn Michaels is in.

2279
01:51:42,062 --> 01:51:45,398
Shawn Michaels' heart maybe doesn't
know it because it's still beating.

2280
01:51:45,465 --> 01:51:48,234
He's still trying to fight back.
But to no avail here.

2281
01:51:48,301 --> 01:51:50,303
Again, six feet, four-and-a-half.

2282
01:51:50,370 --> 01:51:52,338
-[Lawler] Oh, look at this!
-[JR] 260.

2283
01:51:52,405 --> 01:51:54,974
Busted up by Shawn Michaels.
There's a roll-up!

2284
01:51:55,041 --> 01:51:55,975
There's a roll-up!

2285
01:51:56,042 --> 01:51:59,546
And Shawn Michaels, he just didn't have
the strength to hold The Game down.

2286
01:52:01,214 --> 01:52:03,416
Right hands. Everything Shawn's got.

2287
01:52:03,483 --> 01:52:05,485
Oh! Facebuster.

2288
01:52:05,552 --> 01:52:07,320
And again Michaels
back down on the canvas.

2289
01:52:07,387 --> 01:52:08,655
His arms…

2290
01:52:09,155 --> 01:52:10,523
Gotta get his arms out of there.

2291
01:52:10,590 --> 01:52:13,560
I wanna see those arms and legs move,
of Shawn Michaels.

2292
01:52:13,626 --> 01:52:16,796
[Lawler] He doesn't have the strength,
but he's got the heart, too much heart.

2293
01:52:18,364 --> 01:52:21,601
[JR] Again, the referee in this
non-sanctioned match cannot stop it.

2294
01:52:21,668 --> 01:52:25,238
Only one of the competitors can say,
"I quit. I give up."

2295
01:52:25,305 --> 01:52:27,607
This match, one fall to a finish.

2296
01:52:28,241 --> 01:52:31,778
[Lawler] The more I watch,
you can call it heart, or call it ego.

2297
01:52:31,845 --> 01:52:34,180
They're both too big.
When it comes to Shawn Michaels--

2298
01:52:34,247 --> 01:52:37,517
-Look at this!
-[JR] DDT on that steel chair.

2299
01:52:37,584 --> 01:52:40,720
Scrambling the brains of HBK.

2300
01:52:40,787 --> 01:52:42,922
And now The Game. It's gotta be over here.

2301
01:52:42,989 --> 01:52:44,657
No, it's not over!

2302
01:52:45,458 --> 01:52:47,360
Oh, Shawn Michaels busted open.

2303
01:52:47,427 --> 01:52:49,896
Shawn Michaels has been
busted open with that…

2304
01:52:49,963 --> 01:52:52,766
-[Lawler] Face first into that chair.
-[JR] Damn sure did.

2305
01:52:52,832 --> 01:52:54,200
-And…
-[Lawler] Now what?

2306
01:52:54,267 --> 01:52:55,835
[JR] The Game taking that belt.

2307
01:52:57,570 --> 01:52:59,572
The Game taking
that belt off Shawn Michaels.

2308
01:52:59,639 --> 01:53:01,241
And whipping him like a dog!

2309
01:53:02,175 --> 01:53:04,944
Lashing Shawn Michaels
like he was an animal.

2310
01:53:05,011 --> 01:53:06,679
With that leather belt.

2311
01:53:06,746 --> 01:53:08,281
Michaels bleeding.

2312
01:53:09,149 --> 01:53:13,453
You can hear the leather on the skin
of a human being.

2313
01:53:14,087 --> 01:53:16,823
Beating him… Unmerciful.

2314
01:53:17,557 --> 01:53:20,760
[Lawler] And unfortunately, like you said,
it's all legal in this match.

2315
01:53:20,827 --> 01:53:24,898
-[JR] The Game methodically…
-[Lawler] He's got that metal belt buckle.

2316
01:53:25,465 --> 01:53:28,668
[JR] And there's not a damn thing
the referee can do about it.

2317
01:53:29,769 --> 01:53:33,907
Those shots from that loaded right hand
with Shawn Michaels' own belt.

2318
01:53:33,973 --> 01:53:37,277
And that, more specifically,
that big belt buckle

2319
01:53:37,343 --> 01:53:39,879
being used as a weapon by Triple H.

2320
01:53:40,547 --> 01:53:43,183
[Lawler] I tell you something, JR,
I'm beginning to think this is…

2321
01:53:43,249 --> 01:53:44,717
This has gotta be the biggest mistake

2322
01:53:44,784 --> 01:53:46,519
Shawn Michaels has
made in his entire career.

2323
01:53:46,586 --> 01:53:47,453
[JR] You may be right.

2324
01:53:48,421 --> 01:53:50,423
You may be absolutely right.

2325
01:53:51,424 --> 01:53:54,360
But again, the referee is helpless.
The referee can't stop it.

2326
01:53:54,427 --> 01:53:57,397
And Shawn Michaels, King,
you know him as well as I,

2327
01:53:57,463 --> 01:54:01,067
He will not quit. As long as
he is breathing, he will not quit.

2328
01:54:01,134 --> 01:54:03,102
[Lawler] And I'm afraid
neither will Triple H.

2329
01:54:03,169 --> 01:54:07,106
Triple H won't quit until he fulfills
what he said he was going to do.

2330
01:54:07,874 --> 01:54:10,543
He wants to cripple
and maim Shawn Michaels.

2331
01:54:10,610 --> 01:54:14,547
[JR] Triple H wants to see
Shawn Michaels in a damn wheelchair.

2332
01:54:14,614 --> 01:54:19,252
What kind of morbid, sick human being
would even say something like that

2333
01:54:19,319 --> 01:54:20,820
about another soul?

2334
01:54:20,887 --> 01:54:23,890
-[Lawler] What is Triple H looking for?
-[JR] I have no earthly idea.

2335
01:54:23,957 --> 01:54:28,795
God only knows what Triple H must be
thinking or what he's contemplating here.

2336
01:54:28,862 --> 01:54:30,864
Looking under the ring. Shawn Michaels

2337
01:54:31,898 --> 01:54:33,766
trying to pull himself back up.

2338
01:54:33,833 --> 01:54:36,669
With every fiber in this being,
Shawn… Oh my God.

2339
01:54:36,736 --> 01:54:39,606
-You gotta be kidding me.
-[Lawler] Wait a minute.

2340
01:54:39,672 --> 01:54:41,641
[Lawler] Surely the referee can stop this.

2341
01:54:41,708 --> 01:54:46,579
[JR] This… The chairs were enough.
Now we got a sledgehammer.

2342
01:54:46,646 --> 01:54:48,514
And… Oh.

2343
01:54:49,082 --> 01:54:50,416
The referee is helpless.

2344
01:54:50,483 --> 01:54:52,885
And, look… Shawn Michaels kicking back.

2345
01:54:53,586 --> 01:54:55,922
Shawn Michaels fighting for his life here.

2346
01:54:55,989 --> 01:54:58,591
[Lawler] You got that right. Come on,
you have to do something here.

2347
01:54:58,658 --> 01:55:00,660
[JR] Michaels on his knees. Can he stand?

2348
01:55:00,727 --> 01:55:03,263
-Yes, he can. Scoring with the right hand.
-[crowd chanting] HBK!

2349
01:55:04,631 --> 01:55:07,200
The crowd chanting for HBK!

2350
01:55:07,267 --> 01:55:09,302
They're trying to carry him through!

2351
01:55:10,470 --> 01:55:13,139
The most crucial match,
the most crucial night,

2352
01:55:13,206 --> 01:55:15,975
of his entire… Oh!
What another hard Irish whip.

2353
01:55:16,042 --> 01:55:18,845
-[Lawler] Back again. Oh no.
-[JR] And the abdominal stretch.

2354
01:55:18,911 --> 01:55:21,915
Putting more pressure
and torque on that lower body.

2355
01:55:21,981 --> 01:55:24,517
[Lawler] Poor Shawn is
like he's in a torture chamber…

2356
01:55:24,584 --> 01:55:27,253
Triple H is… He's just intent on torturing

2357
01:55:28,187 --> 01:55:31,591
[JR] I don't… I wish Shawn Michaels
would just give it up here.

2358
01:55:31,658 --> 01:55:33,559
Just give it up, Shawn.

2359
01:55:33,626 --> 01:55:35,328
You made us all proud.

2360
01:55:35,395 --> 01:55:37,797
You came back.
You did everything you could.

2361
01:55:37,864 --> 01:55:41,200
Everything under God's sun you could do,
you have done.

2362
01:55:43,303 --> 01:55:46,105
The Game is… He is an executioner.

2363
01:55:47,040 --> 01:55:49,442
He's an executioner with a PhD.

2364
01:55:50,977 --> 01:55:53,246
That's legal. You can't count him.

2365
01:55:53,313 --> 01:55:55,949
There's no disqualifications here!

2366
01:55:56,015 --> 01:55:57,884
[Lawler] You can see Earl Hebner
doesn't like it.

2367
01:55:57,951 --> 01:55:58,985
Doing everything he can.

2368
01:55:59,052 --> 01:56:01,721
[JR] Well, Earl's got a heart.
He's got a soul.

2369
01:56:01,788 --> 01:56:04,824
-He knows what's right and what's not.
-[Lawler] Oh, look at this!

2370
01:56:05,758 --> 01:56:07,694
[JR] Earl, you're over matched, my friend.

2371
01:56:07,760 --> 01:56:10,263
[Lawler] Earl Hebner's
going right up to Triple H.

2372
01:56:10,330 --> 01:56:11,998
He's getting right in Triple H's face.

2373
01:56:12,065 --> 01:56:14,233
[JR] I admire Earl Hebner's…

2374
01:56:14,300 --> 01:56:16,903
I'm telling you right now, knock it off!

2375
01:56:16,969 --> 01:56:18,771
[JR] I admire Earl Hebner's attitude.

2376
01:56:18,838 --> 01:56:20,540
-What he stands for.
-I'm sick of everything!

2377
01:56:20,606 --> 01:56:23,276
The chair, the hammer. Knock it off!

2378
01:56:24,010 --> 01:56:26,012
[Lawler] I'm telling you,
Earl Hebner realizes

2379
01:56:26,112 --> 01:56:30,550
when he saw that sledgehammer come out,
he can't let anything go in this match.

2380
01:56:31,184 --> 01:56:34,320
[JR] Earl Hebner's been in the eye
of controversy in his career before.

2381
01:56:34,387 --> 01:56:37,056
A shot to the midsection
by Shawn Michaels.

2382
01:56:37,123 --> 01:56:40,660
Earl doesn't want to be a part
of seeing the demise of Shawn Michaels.

2383
01:56:40,727 --> 01:56:43,563
To seeing Shawn Michaels
confined to a wheelchair.

2384
01:56:43,629 --> 01:56:44,998
To being maimed and crippled.

2385
01:56:45,064 --> 01:56:47,100
But Shawn Michaels, he doesn't know that.

2386
01:56:47,166 --> 01:56:49,001
He's running on adrenaline.

2387
01:56:49,502 --> 01:56:52,071
But how much adrenaline
can Shawn Michaels have left?

2388
01:56:52,805 --> 01:56:54,607
[Lawler] It's adrenaline
and it's instinct.

2389
01:56:56,743 --> 01:56:59,312
You're right. There's not much
of either one left right now.

2390
01:56:59,379 --> 01:57:01,981
[JR] God almighty.
Shawn Michaels gotta… Shawn fighting!

2391
01:57:02,048 --> 01:57:04,450
You gotta fight him. You know
what Triple H is gonna try to do!

2392
01:57:04,517 --> 01:57:06,486
[Lawler] That's right.
That's why that's instinct.

2393
01:57:06,552 --> 01:57:10,256
Shawn knows that would have been over
for him if Triple H had hit a superplex.

2394
01:57:10,323 --> 01:57:12,492
[JR] That's what The Game
would have liked to have done.

2395
01:57:12,558 --> 01:57:15,795
The Game wants to hear Michaels' back
snap again.

2396
01:57:15,862 --> 01:57:18,264
You've gotta believe
that's what The Game wants to do.

2397
01:57:18,331 --> 01:57:21,768
-Break Michaels' back here at SummerSlam.
-[Lawler] What are you gonna try… Don't.

2398
01:57:21,834 --> 01:57:24,604
You don't think he's going to
try to come up with an elbow? Oh!

2399
01:57:25,505 --> 01:57:28,741
-[JR] Wow, what a chicken…
-[Lawler] Similar to what we saw earlier.

2400
01:57:28,808 --> 01:57:30,710
The referee shoved into the ropes,

2401
01:57:30,777 --> 01:57:32,779
and Shawn Michaels losing his balance.

2402
01:57:33,346 --> 01:57:36,783
[JR] What a crappy. Oh, come… No! No! No!

2403
01:57:37,617 --> 01:57:40,553
Michaels helpless, hanging upside-down.

2404
01:57:40,620 --> 01:57:44,157
Just got a chair shot
right to the lower back.

2405
01:57:47,026 --> 01:57:48,394
[Lawler] And I just…

2406
01:57:48,461 --> 01:57:51,063
I'll tell you, JR,
somehow when I heard all of those…

2407
01:57:51,130 --> 01:57:55,001
that big diatribe from Triple H,
the things he said about Shawn,

2408
01:57:55,067 --> 01:57:57,737
somehow I hoped it wasn't true,
but he really does…

2409
01:57:57,804 --> 01:58:00,673
I mean, he really does
wanna cripple Shawn Michaels.

2410
01:58:01,307 --> 01:58:02,909
[JR] Triple H hates Shawn Michaels.

2411
01:58:02,975 --> 01:58:05,378
-Triple H hates our fans.
-[Lawler] Why?

2412
01:58:05,445 --> 01:58:07,013
He hates everybody but himself.

2413
01:58:07,080 --> 01:58:08,381
What an egotist.

2414
01:58:08,448 --> 01:58:10,083
What an evil egotist.

2415
01:58:10,149 --> 01:58:12,518
-Oh, no, no, no! Oh God!
-[Lawler] Oh no!

2416
01:58:12,585 --> 01:58:16,289
[JR] For the love of God, look at
that chair! And look at the man's back!

2417
01:58:16,989 --> 01:58:18,825
A poor human being

2418
01:58:19,892 --> 01:58:23,396
four years away from this carnage
and combat.

2419
01:58:25,498 --> 01:58:27,500
This is a sick human being, folks.

2420
01:58:28,468 --> 01:58:31,137
Count him down. Quick count.
Get it… Oh no!

2421
01:58:31,204 --> 01:58:34,507
-[Lawler] Shawn, what are you doing?
-[JR] Shawn Michaels, refusing to die!

2422
01:58:34,574 --> 01:58:35,808
[Lawler] This is not smart.

2423
01:58:36,676 --> 01:58:40,012
[JR] It may be his last match,
but by God he's not gonna quit.

2424
01:58:42,081 --> 01:58:44,083
And what's The Game gonna do here.

2425
01:58:44,150 --> 01:58:45,618
The Cerebral Assassin,

2426
01:58:45,685 --> 01:58:48,921
what sick, perverted thing
does he have on his mind now

2427
01:58:48,988 --> 01:58:50,223
with that steel chair?

2428
01:58:50,289 --> 01:58:52,058
[Lawler] All he's got on his mind is,

2429
01:58:52,125 --> 01:58:55,328
is like you said, seeing Shawn
in a wheelchair. Crippling the man.

2430
01:58:55,394 --> 01:58:57,430
-[JR] No, no, no! Come on.
-[Lawler] No!

2431
01:58:57,497 --> 01:58:59,699
[JR] Sidewalk slam on that chair.

2432
01:59:00,299 --> 01:59:02,869
A DDT on the chair
is what busted Shawn open earlier.

2433
01:59:03,736 --> 01:59:05,738
Michaels almost laying limp.

2434
01:59:06,706 --> 01:59:08,841
Fast count him, Earl. Get it over with!

2435
01:59:08,908 --> 01:59:11,244
And Shawn Michaels kicking out!

2436
01:59:11,310 --> 01:59:15,648
Triple H, trying to hook those hands,
but Michaels kicks out again.

2437
01:59:15,715 --> 01:59:17,950
Where's he… Where's it coming from?

2438
01:59:18,451 --> 01:59:20,753
The will to win, King.

2439
01:59:20,820 --> 01:59:24,757
Or is it the will to survive?
And The Game is getting frustrated.

2440
01:59:24,824 --> 01:59:26,626
[crowd chanting] HBK! HBK!

2441
01:59:26,692 --> 01:59:29,595
[JR] The sold-out crowd
here at the Nassau Coliseum,

2442
01:59:30,263 --> 01:59:32,098
doing all they can to help…

2443
01:59:32,165 --> 01:59:35,434
[Lawler] We knew this was gonna happen.
We knew. We said earlier that

2444
01:59:35,501 --> 01:59:40,907
no matter what, Shawn Michaels was gonna
give us every ounce of everything he had.

2445
01:59:41,507 --> 01:59:44,243
[JR] But he's done that.
He doesn't need to give us anymore.

2446
01:59:44,310 --> 01:59:47,813
He gave us for about 15 years of his life.

2447
01:59:48,814 --> 01:59:50,816
Tonight, enough's enough.

2448
01:59:51,450 --> 01:59:54,687
[Lawler] I'll tell you what, you know what
I think? I think that Triple H,

2449
01:59:54,754 --> 01:59:57,023
somehow still feels
like he's living under…

2450
01:59:57,089 --> 02:00:00,092
in the shadow of, under the cloud of…
of Shawn Michaels.

2451
02:00:00,159 --> 02:00:02,762
Of everything that Shawn Michaels
has accomplished in this business.

2452
02:00:02,828 --> 02:00:05,064
[JR] Oh no. God almighty.

2453
02:00:05,131 --> 02:00:07,633
-You can see it coming. The Pedigree.
-[Lawler] Whoa!

2454
02:00:07,700 --> 02:00:10,269
-[Lawler exclaiming and laughing]
-[crowd cheering]

2455
02:00:10,336 --> 02:00:12,138
[Lawler] Did you see that coming, JR?

2456
02:00:12,205 --> 02:00:16,075
[JR] Triple H was gonna Pedigree
Shawn Michaels on that steel chair.

2457
02:00:16,142 --> 02:00:19,979
The chair has been mangled.
Shawn Michaels body's been mangled.

2458
02:00:20,046 --> 02:00:24,317
And another part of Triple H's anatomy
has obviously been mangled.

2459
02:00:24,383 --> 02:00:27,486
[Lawler] Well, he'll get no sympathy
from anybody in this arena.

2460
02:00:30,223 --> 02:00:33,226
[JR] This crowd trying to get
Shawn Michaels back into it.

2461
02:00:33,292 --> 02:00:35,595
The fans are doing all they can.

2462
02:00:35,661 --> 02:00:39,332
And Michaels… He's trying
to pull himself up. Look at Shawn.

2463
02:00:39,966 --> 02:00:41,801
He can't get up on his own.

2464
02:00:41,867 --> 02:00:44,904
He's near the ropes…
Oh, Triple H has got that chair.

2465
02:00:44,971 --> 02:00:47,273
It's like a loaded gun.

2466
02:00:48,274 --> 02:00:50,576
-The game will fire away again.
-[Hebner] No!

2467
02:00:51,077 --> 02:00:52,712
Put it down. I'm telling you right now.

2468
02:00:52,778 --> 02:00:54,614
[JR] Oh! Sweet Chin Music!

2469
02:00:54,680 --> 02:00:57,350
Right back in the…
Right back in the chair!

2470
02:00:57,416 --> 02:00:59,785
Right back in the face of The Game!

2471
02:00:59,852 --> 02:01:01,354
[Lawler] The big superkick!

2472
02:01:01,420 --> 02:01:03,756
Shawn Michaels' patented move,

2473
02:01:03,823 --> 02:01:06,692
that might have taken everything that
Shawn Michaels had out of him.

2474
02:01:06,759 --> 02:01:09,562
[JR] Exactly. That may have been
everything that Shawn had left,

2475
02:01:09,629 --> 02:01:11,631
with that one Sweet Chin Music.

2476
02:01:11,697 --> 02:01:14,500
The chair went right back in the face
of The Game.

2477
02:01:14,567 --> 02:01:17,837
-It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
-[Lawler] Listen… Wow!

2478
02:01:18,738 --> 02:01:20,306
That's a beautiful sound.

2479
02:01:20,373 --> 02:01:22,708
-[JR] The steel… Oh my God.
-[Lawler] Look at this!

2480
02:01:22,775 --> 02:01:24,277
Triple H has opened up.

2481
02:01:24,343 --> 02:01:26,612
[JR] The Game has been busted wide open

2482
02:01:26,679 --> 02:01:28,547
at the hands of Shawn Michaels.

2483
02:01:28,614 --> 02:01:30,916
-The superkick to the chair.
-[Lawler] Whoa!

2484
02:01:30,983 --> 02:01:32,985
[JR] And The Game is bleeding.

2485
02:01:33,052 --> 02:01:34,253
[Lawler] Profusely!

2486
02:01:34,320 --> 02:01:35,588
Look at Shawn.

2487
02:01:37,290 --> 02:01:40,926
Now he realizes he's capable of doing
some serious damage here.

2488
02:01:40,993 --> 02:01:43,863
Shawn Michaels now has opened up The Game.

2489
02:01:43,929 --> 02:01:46,332
Will Shawn have enough left in his tank

2490
02:01:46,399 --> 02:01:47,967
to finish Triple H off?

2491
02:01:49,302 --> 02:01:51,604
Triple H,
one of the most feared competitors,

2492
02:01:51,671 --> 02:01:53,572
in the history of the WWE.

2493
02:01:53,639 --> 02:01:56,208
-[Lawler] Whoa!
-[JR] Bleeding. He's knocked down! And…

2494
02:01:56,275 --> 02:01:59,045
-[Lawler] What? Look at that!
-[JR] Oh my God! Shawn Michaels!

2495
02:01:59,111 --> 02:02:02,048
Leapt up!
Where it God's name did he get that?

2496
02:02:02,114 --> 02:02:03,482
[Lawler] Whoa! JR!

2497
02:02:03,549 --> 02:02:05,484
That's pure adrenalin right there.

2498
02:02:05,551 --> 02:02:07,887
[JR] Shawn Michaels, hammering The Game!

2499
02:02:09,455 --> 02:02:11,057
-HBK!
-[Lawler] No!

2500
02:02:11,857 --> 02:02:14,660
[JR] Back body drop on the bloody Game.

2501
02:02:15,628 --> 02:02:17,096
I can assure you, son…

2502
02:02:17,163 --> 02:02:20,633
Shawn Michaels' son came completely out
of his chair when he saw his dad do that.

2503
02:02:20,700 --> 02:02:23,202
-Look out!
-[JR] Oh, chair shot!

2504
02:02:23,269 --> 02:02:26,238
The Game tried to block it,
but to no avail.

2505
02:02:27,940 --> 02:02:32,111
A Jason Giambi-like swing
by Shawn Michaels.

2506
02:02:32,178 --> 02:02:33,913
The steel chair between the eyes

2507
02:02:33,979 --> 02:02:36,749
of the bloody and battered Triple H.

2508
02:02:39,952 --> 02:02:41,854
[Lawler] These people can sense it.

2509
02:02:42,355 --> 02:02:44,890
Shawn may have the opportunity
to get a victory here.

2510
02:02:46,225 --> 02:02:48,928
[JR] Reversal,
and The Game going over the top.

2511
02:02:48,994 --> 02:02:50,663
And here comes Shawn Michaels

2512
02:02:50,730 --> 02:02:52,498
right out after him.

2513
02:02:52,565 --> 02:02:54,800
Shawn Michaels showing so much guts.

2514
02:02:54,867 --> 02:02:56,369
So much courage.

2515
02:02:56,435 --> 02:02:57,503
[Lawler] Listen to this.

2516
02:02:57,570 --> 02:02:59,572
Woo-hoo! Bam!

2517
02:02:59,638 --> 02:03:01,006
[JR] Oh, that is sick.

2518
02:03:01,073 --> 02:03:03,442
That is some…
That'll kill some brain cells.

2519
02:03:03,509 --> 02:03:05,111
That'll scramble your brains.

2520
02:03:05,177 --> 02:03:08,180
And now Shawn Michaels
has got his own leather belt.

2521
02:03:08,247 --> 02:03:11,884
[Lawler] It ain't as sick as what…
what Triple H did to his best friend.

2522
02:03:12,451 --> 02:03:15,388
[JR] And now Shawn Michaels,
laying the leather.

2523
02:03:15,454 --> 02:03:18,557
-[Triple H screaming]
-[Lawler] Keep returning the favor.

2524
02:03:18,624 --> 02:03:20,292
[JR] Return to sender

2525
02:03:20,359 --> 02:03:22,828
for Shawn Michaels and that leather belt.

2526
02:03:24,397 --> 02:03:26,132
[Lawler] JR, I'm gonna tell you something.

2527
02:03:26,198 --> 02:03:29,034
When Shawn agreed to this match, I…

2528
02:03:29,101 --> 02:03:30,903
I was just hoping he'd be able to survive.

2529
02:03:30,970 --> 02:03:33,005
Now I think he can win.

2530
02:03:33,873 --> 02:03:35,374
It'll be huge.

2531
02:03:36,275 --> 02:03:37,576
[JR] I hope so, King,

2532
02:03:37,643 --> 02:03:40,379
but listen, I gotta believe
this is a long way from being over.

2533
02:03:43,115 --> 02:03:45,785
-[crowd chanting] We want tables!
-[Lawler] Listen to these fans.

2534
02:03:48,888 --> 02:03:51,424
-Ooh, man.
-[JR] What a shot that was.

2535
02:03:51,490 --> 02:03:53,492
I don't… I don't know…

2536
02:03:53,559 --> 02:03:55,594
[Lawler] Look out.
Michael Cole, get out of the way.

2537
02:03:55,661 --> 02:03:57,363
[JR] I don't know how much more
The Game can…

2538
02:03:57,429 --> 02:03:58,297
[Lawler] Hey!

2539
02:03:59,165 --> 02:04:01,433
[JR] Shawn Michaels
just took off Hugo Savinovich

2540
02:04:01,500 --> 02:04:04,437
-of our Spanish announce team's boot.
-[Lawler] What the heck?

2541
02:04:04,937 --> 02:04:07,673
-[JR] The Game with the heel of that boot.
-[Lawler] Did you hear that?

2542
02:04:07,740 --> 02:04:09,241
That's a heel for a heel, isn't it?

2543
02:04:10,543 --> 02:04:12,912
[JR] An eye for an eye, a heel for a heel.

2544
02:04:12,978 --> 02:04:15,381
And now Shawn Michaels
moving the furniture around.

2545
02:04:15,447 --> 02:04:17,450
What's Shawn Michaels… Where's he going?

2546
02:04:18,884 --> 02:04:20,753
[Lawler] Your guess is as good as mine.

2547
02:04:21,921 --> 02:04:23,923
I'm surprised he's still in this thing.
Look out!

2548
02:04:23,989 --> 02:04:25,791
-Whoa!
-[JR] Oh God!

2549
02:04:25,858 --> 02:04:29,261
Triple H's bloody face
bouncing off those steel steps

2550
02:04:29,328 --> 02:04:31,330
from the bulldog of Shawn Michaels.

2551
02:04:32,364 --> 02:04:35,768
My God, this is unbelievable.
Somehow, someway

2552
02:04:36,469 --> 02:04:39,138
Oh, wait a minute.
Uh-uh. Shawn, don't do it!

2553
02:04:40,840 --> 02:04:43,242
-Shawn Michaels…
-[Lawler] Look at the smile on…

2554
02:04:43,309 --> 02:04:45,177
[JR] The innovator of the ladder match!

2555
02:04:45,244 --> 02:04:47,012
[Lawler] He is The Showstopper!

2556
02:04:47,546 --> 02:04:50,449
[JR] Shawn Michaels pulling out
a ladder from under the ring.

2557
02:04:50,516 --> 02:04:53,752
And remember, it's all legal.
This is not sanctioned.

2558
02:04:53,819 --> 02:04:56,455
[crowd chanting] HBK! HBK!

2559
02:04:58,657 --> 02:05:01,327
[Lawler] He don't have to ask
these people if they want to see that.

2560
02:05:01,393 --> 02:05:03,295
Of course they do. Look out! Whoa!

2561
02:05:03,863 --> 02:05:06,465
[JR] Michaels using that ladder
like a battering ram,

2562
02:05:07,032 --> 02:05:09,168
exploding in the face of Triple H.

2563
02:05:13,472 --> 02:05:15,474
Oh, man. I don't know. That's low.

2564
02:05:15,975 --> 02:05:17,977
-[Hebner] Come on!
-[Lawler] That's all right.

2565
02:05:18,043 --> 02:05:19,745
[JR] Again, a shot of that…

2566
02:05:19,812 --> 02:05:22,848
Well south of the border, there.
Maybe a couple shots.

2567
02:05:22,915 --> 02:05:25,084
But, again, who's keeping score there?

2568
02:05:25,150 --> 02:05:26,919
It's a non-sanctioned fight.

2569
02:05:30,422 --> 02:05:31,624
[Lawler] Watch this move.

2570
02:05:32,291 --> 02:05:33,959
Ladder right to the face

2571
02:05:34,460 --> 02:05:36,362
and the head of Triple H

2572
02:05:36,428 --> 02:05:38,330
-[JR] My God, this is carnage.
-[Lawler]Look out!

2573
02:05:38,397 --> 02:05:41,433
-[JR] Shawn put the brakes on.
-[Lawler] He blocked it!

2574
02:05:41,500 --> 02:05:43,936
[JR] Double leg takedown
by Shawn Michaels. Uh-oh.

2575
02:05:45,337 --> 02:05:47,940
Shawn Michaels and The Game.

2576
02:05:48,007 --> 02:05:49,842
Throwing him right into that ladder.

2577
02:05:49,909 --> 02:05:51,644
The bloody face of The Game.

2578
02:05:51,710 --> 02:05:55,147
His face a crimson mask
here at SummerSlam.

2579
02:05:55,214 --> 02:05:57,917
[Lawler] I can assure you,
never in his wildest dreams,

2580
02:05:57,983 --> 02:06:01,220
did Triple H think for one minute
that he'd be in this situation.

2581
02:06:01,287 --> 02:06:03,355
[JR] Pin him! Come on! Count it!

2582
02:06:03,422 --> 02:06:05,024
-Oh God!
-[Lawler] Did he get him?

2583
02:06:05,624 --> 02:06:06,792
[JR] A two count.

2584
02:06:08,861 --> 02:06:11,597
[Lawler] No, Triple H
never would have imagined,

2585
02:06:11,664 --> 02:06:15,334
that he would be bleeding,
a bloody mess, at the hands of HBK.

2586
02:06:16,001 --> 02:06:19,104
[JR] Absolutely not. But that's
exactly what has happened here.

2587
02:06:19,171 --> 02:06:20,606
-[Lawler] Look out.
-[JR] The Game.

2588
02:06:20,673 --> 02:06:22,975
The Game sliding right into the ladder.

2589
02:06:23,042 --> 02:06:25,544
And the ladder jamming
Shawn Michaels' ribs.

2590
02:06:25,611 --> 02:06:27,413
[Lawler] Look how bad
Triple H is bleeding.

2591
02:06:28,747 --> 02:06:31,050
His hair is soaked. His face is covered.

2592
02:06:31,116 --> 02:06:33,118
[JR] Triple H has lost a lot of blood.

2593
02:06:33,185 --> 02:06:37,423
He's fading away here
before our very eyes in this bloodbath.

2594
02:06:37,489 --> 02:06:39,391
In this non-sanctioned matchup.

2595
02:06:39,458 --> 02:06:42,227
[Lawler] Shawn, you gotta get up,
you gotta take advantage of this.

2596
02:06:42,294 --> 02:06:43,495
[JR] And Shawn Michaels…

2597
02:06:44,096 --> 02:06:46,932
We may have seen
Shawn Michaels best chance of winning

2598
02:06:46,999 --> 02:06:50,803
just leave us, just go away,

2599
02:06:50,869 --> 02:06:52,738
after that ladder shot.

2600
02:06:52,805 --> 02:06:56,542
[Lawler] That ladder just kicked right
into the ribs and chest area of Shawn.

2601
02:06:57,309 --> 02:06:59,445
[JR] Michaels' back
has gotta be killing him.

2602
02:06:59,945 --> 02:07:01,614
His body gotta be racked with pain.

2603
02:07:01,680 --> 02:07:03,482
Watch for The Game going upstairs.

2604
02:07:04,683 --> 02:07:08,354
The Game going upstairs and Shawn Michaels
scoring with right hands.

2605
02:07:08,921 --> 02:07:11,090
[Lawler] This is not smart, Shawn.
You don't need to do…

2606
02:07:11,156 --> 02:07:12,224
[JR] No, Shawn!

2607
02:07:12,291 --> 02:07:14,326
[Lawler] It's gonna hurt you too,
don't do it!

2608
02:07:14,393 --> 02:07:16,595
[JR] Shawn Michaels with a superplex!

2609
02:07:16,662 --> 02:07:18,530
[Lawler] We saw Shawn, though,
he did turn to…

2610
02:07:18,597 --> 02:07:21,300
[JR] He tried to land on his side.
The cover! It's gonna be!

2611
02:07:21,367 --> 02:07:23,769
It is! No! No! No!

2612
02:07:23,836 --> 02:07:25,504
How close was that?

2613
02:07:25,571 --> 02:07:26,472
[Lawler] Man.

2614
02:07:26,972 --> 02:07:29,908
[JR] Oh my God. How close was that?

2615
02:07:32,177 --> 02:07:33,712
Michaels reversed.

2616
02:07:34,480 --> 02:07:36,682
[Lawler] Whoa, back up! Look at that!

2617
02:07:36,749 --> 02:07:39,218
The roll-up! He's got it! No, he doesn't.

2618
02:07:39,284 --> 02:07:42,087
Not enough strength in that back
to hold The Game down.

2619
02:07:42,154 --> 02:07:45,290
The Game the high knee
right to the face of Shawn Michaels.

2620
02:07:46,959 --> 02:07:49,428
The Game is awesome.
There's no doubt about it.

2621
02:07:49,495 --> 02:07:51,430
But he is so evil. So hideous.

2622
02:07:51,497 --> 02:07:53,365
The cover! No, it's not.

2623
02:07:53,432 --> 02:07:55,934
[Lawler] The Game is awesome?
What about Shawn Michaels?

2624
02:07:56,001 --> 02:08:01,073
[JR] Shawn Michaels is off the page.
This is… This is beyond my wildest dreams.

2625
02:08:01,140 --> 02:08:03,242
That this match would go this long,

2626
02:08:03,308 --> 02:08:07,046
and that Shawn Michaels
would thus far be able to survive

2627
02:08:07,112 --> 02:08:10,482
the most calculating,
the most perfectly sound

2628
02:08:10,549 --> 02:08:13,552
in-ring competitor in the entire WWE.

2629
02:08:14,153 --> 02:08:16,922
Not just to mention Raw, but the WWE.

2630
02:08:17,423 --> 02:08:20,592
[Lawler] Yeah,
I guess he does know what he's doing.

2631
02:08:21,493 --> 02:08:22,795
Triple H is staggering around.

2632
02:08:22,861 --> 02:08:26,065
As you said, he's lost so much blood,
he's gotta be in a weakened condition.

2633
02:08:27,533 --> 02:08:29,435
[JR] The Game bringing those stairs in.

2634
02:08:30,369 --> 02:08:32,471
He's gonna hit Shawn Michaels upstairs…
That's exactly…

2635
02:08:33,038 --> 02:08:34,907
Bullseye here, and…

2636
02:08:34,973 --> 02:08:37,543
The drop toehold! A drop toehold.

2637
02:08:37,609 --> 02:08:40,479
The Game's face bouncing off those stairs.

2638
02:08:40,546 --> 02:08:41,747
[Lawler] Pin him! Cover him!

2639
02:08:41,814 --> 02:08:43,015
No, he's not down.

2640
02:08:43,615 --> 02:08:46,285
[JR] He's… He has got…
He's barely able to stand.

2641
02:08:46,351 --> 02:08:47,886
But so is Shawn Michaels.

2642
02:08:47,953 --> 02:08:49,855
Shawn Michaels a clothesline.

2643
02:08:49,922 --> 02:08:52,591
Taking The Game over. The Game.

2644
02:08:52,658 --> 02:08:54,660
I think he wrenched
his knee in that ladder.

2645
02:08:54,727 --> 02:08:56,228
Michaels going to the outside.

2646
02:08:56,295 --> 02:08:59,131
-What's he gonna get now?
-[Lawler] What else is under there? Oh!

2647
02:08:59,198 --> 02:09:00,232
Hey, hey!

2648
02:09:00,966 --> 02:09:03,936
[JR] First, it was a sledgehammer.
The stairs.

2649
02:09:04,837 --> 02:09:05,871
A ladder.

2650
02:09:05,938 --> 02:09:06,772
And now a table.

2651
02:09:06,839 --> 02:09:08,841
[Lawler] Well, these people
were asking for tables.

2652
02:09:08,907 --> 02:09:09,975
"We want tables."

2653
02:09:11,176 --> 02:09:12,945
Shawn has always been a man that

2654
02:09:13,011 --> 02:09:15,013
loves to give the people what they want.

2655
02:09:15,080 --> 02:09:16,648
[JR] He is a Showstopper.

2656
02:09:16,715 --> 02:09:19,618
But is this…
Will this backfire on Shawn Michaels?

2657
02:09:19,685 --> 02:09:22,054
A knockdown and a straight right hand.

2658
02:09:22,654 --> 02:09:24,289
Triple H had his hands down.

2659
02:09:24,356 --> 02:09:26,258
And that blood,
maybe he couldn't see it coming.

2660
02:09:26,325 --> 02:09:28,327
So much blood in his face.

2661
02:09:28,861 --> 02:09:29,795
[Lawler] What?

2662
02:09:32,164 --> 02:09:34,299
[JR] Shawn Michaels setting this table up.

2663
02:09:34,366 --> 02:09:39,371
And I have no earthly idea what
Shawn Michaels has planned for Triple H.

2664
02:09:40,372 --> 02:09:43,041
[Lawler] There's all sorts of stuff
under that ring. Hey!

2665
02:09:43,575 --> 02:09:44,810
Is that a fire extinguisher?

2666
02:09:44,877 --> 02:09:46,011
[JR] Yes.

2667
02:09:46,645 --> 02:09:47,913
Right to the head.

2668
02:09:48,647 --> 02:09:50,849
And The Game landing on that table.

2669
02:09:51,583 --> 02:09:52,684
[Lawler] Oh no!

2670
02:09:52,751 --> 02:09:53,819
[JR] Oh my God, Shawn.

2671
02:09:54,987 --> 02:09:57,723
Shawn Michaels, he's spaghetti-legged.

2672
02:09:57,790 --> 02:09:59,892
He's going on guts.

2673
02:09:59,958 --> 02:10:02,161
[Lawler] Yeah, you are. You're crazy.
Don't do it.

2674
02:10:02,227 --> 02:10:04,930
[JR] It's a suicide move
for Shawn Michaels.

2675
02:10:04,997 --> 02:10:09,101
For these fans, Shawn Michaels
putting his life on the line!

2676
02:10:09,168 --> 02:10:11,170
-[Lawler] Oh!
-[JR] God, the carnage!

2677
02:10:12,004 --> 02:10:14,773
For the love of God almighty!

2678
02:10:16,575 --> 02:10:17,643
[Lawler] Now what?

2679
02:10:18,410 --> 02:10:20,412
[JR] Shawn Michaels off the top!

2680
02:10:20,479 --> 02:10:22,347
Through the body of The Game!

2681
02:10:22,414 --> 02:10:25,017
I just wish it was
pinfalls count anywhere!

2682
02:10:25,083 --> 02:10:27,786
'Cause I think one would be over
here and now.

2683
02:10:27,853 --> 02:10:29,454
[Lawler] Drag him into the ring.

2684
02:10:29,521 --> 02:10:31,657
Have you ever seen anything
like that in your life, JR?

2685
02:10:31,723 --> 02:10:33,258
[JR] Oh, my God.

2686
02:10:33,325 --> 02:10:36,128
Shawn Michaels, the shape that he's in.

2687
02:10:36,195 --> 02:10:38,597
-[Lawler] Watch it again.
-[fans chanting] Holy shit!

2688
02:10:38,664 --> 02:10:39,831
[Lawler] Watch this!

2689
02:10:40,599 --> 02:10:41,900
Good gosh.

2690
02:10:43,001 --> 02:10:46,004
-One more look at this.
-[JR] This is unbelievable.

2691
02:10:46,071 --> 02:10:47,539
Unbelievable!

2692
02:10:49,842 --> 02:10:51,844
[Lawler] It is truly
vintage Shawn Michaels,

2693
02:10:51,910 --> 02:10:55,280
he just throws caution to the wind,
no matter what condition his body's in.

2694
02:10:55,347 --> 02:10:56,848
[JR] Two men from Raw

2695
02:10:56,915 --> 02:10:59,918
giving us everything in their bodies.

2696
02:10:59,985 --> 02:11:03,689
Every fiber of their being
is on display here.

2697
02:11:03,755 --> 02:11:06,525
And Michaels now,
bringing that ladder back in.

2698
02:11:06,592 --> 02:11:10,095
The Game is busted up.
He may have internal injuries

2699
02:11:10,162 --> 02:11:12,731
after that shot from the top
through the table.

2700
02:11:12,798 --> 02:11:15,300
-And what in God's name?
-[Lawler] No, wait a minute now.

2701
02:11:17,135 --> 02:11:21,073
[JR] Shawn Michaels has said
this is one night only.

2702
02:11:21,139 --> 02:11:23,175
He's doing it one more time.

2703
02:11:23,242 --> 02:11:26,912
And by God he's gonna leave us
with everything he's got.

2704
02:11:26,979 --> 02:11:30,082
Something that we will never,
ever forget him.

2705
02:11:32,217 --> 02:11:35,153
Michaels on top of that ten-foot ladder.

2706
02:11:35,721 --> 02:11:37,789
[Lawler] The referee
is begging him not to do it.

2707
02:11:39,224 --> 02:11:42,494
[JR] Shawn Michaels… Oh! The fans…

2708
02:11:42,561 --> 02:11:46,632
For the love of God,
the elbow right to the heart of The Game!

2709
02:11:46,698 --> 02:11:49,635
-[Lawler] Oh! He's all right! He's okay!
-[JR] From the ladder!

2710
02:11:51,670 --> 02:11:56,041
Yes, he realizes. He's still got it, JR!

2711
02:11:56,108 --> 02:11:59,077
Shawn Michaels with the elbow
from the ladder!

2712
02:11:59,144 --> 02:12:02,247
And now, King, tuning up that band!

2713
02:12:02,314 --> 02:12:04,316
[crowd cheering wildly]

2714
02:12:04,983 --> 02:12:07,920
-[Lawler] Look at this!
-[JR] One of the all-time great hits!

2715
02:12:07,986 --> 02:12:09,888
Number one with a bullet!

2716
02:12:10,489 --> 02:12:12,090
[Lawler] Get up, Triple H!

2717
02:12:12,157 --> 02:12:14,026
Get up and meet your best friend now.

2718
02:12:14,092 --> 02:12:18,630
[JR] Triple H has lost a lot of blood
in this bloodbath here at SummerSlam!

2719
02:12:18,697 --> 02:12:21,700
-[Lawler] The man's got something for you!
-[JR] Bang! No!

2720
02:12:21,767 --> 02:12:24,536
It was blocked! Bloody hell!
It was blocked!

2721
02:12:24,603 --> 02:12:26,004
-[Lawler] Oh no!
-[JR] A Pedigree!

2722
02:12:26,071 --> 02:12:27,539
-My God, a Ped--
-[Lawler] No!

2723
02:12:27,606 --> 02:12:29,741
[JR] Michaels, roll-up! Will it be?

2724
02:12:29,808 --> 02:12:31,443
-Can it be?
-[Lawler whooping]

2725
02:12:31,510 --> 02:12:35,714
-[JR] Yes! HBK! My God, HBK!
-[Lawler laughing]

2726
02:12:35,781 --> 02:12:37,849
-["Sexy Boy" playing]
-[announcer] Here's your winner,

2727
02:12:37,916 --> 02:12:41,620
"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels!

2728
02:12:41,687 --> 02:12:45,457
[JR] In 25 years,
I've never seen this much courage,

2729
02:12:45,524 --> 02:12:47,259
the will to win!

2730
02:12:48,994 --> 02:12:50,829
[Lawler] What about that!

2731
02:12:50,896 --> 02:12:52,497
What about that, JR?

2732
02:12:52,564 --> 02:12:54,866
[JR] A young man
that's Hall of Fame bound.

2733
02:12:54,933 --> 02:12:56,535
With nothing to prove!

2734
02:12:56,601 --> 02:12:59,237
And with pride and passion prevailing.

2735
02:12:59,304 --> 02:13:02,307
-[Lawler] Oh! Oh! Oh my God!
-[JR] God almighty!

2736
02:13:02,908 --> 02:13:05,210
[Lawler] He hit him in the back
with a sledgehammer, JR!

2737
02:13:05,277 --> 02:13:08,213
[JR] Got him with the hammer,
right in the back!

2738
02:13:09,014 --> 02:13:11,950
-Triple H and Shawn Michaels!
-[Lawler] Get that away from him!

2739
02:13:12,017 --> 02:13:14,286
[JR] Hammer away fro-- No! No!

2740
02:13:14,353 --> 02:13:17,389
-[Lawler] No!
-[JR] I don't… No!

2741
02:13:17,456 --> 02:13:19,725
For God's sakes, no!

2742
02:13:19,791 --> 02:13:22,194
-[Hebner] Knock it off!
-[Lawler] Get somebody out here!

2743
02:13:23,195 --> 02:13:25,230
[JR] Oh God! Oh no!

2744
02:13:25,297 --> 02:13:26,932
[Lawler] Earl, get the hammer!

2745
02:13:26,999 --> 02:13:28,367
[JR] Oh no!

2746
02:13:30,001 --> 02:13:32,237
-[crowd booing]
-[JR] Oh, God almighty, no!

2747
02:13:34,506 --> 02:13:37,009
I refuse to believe what I've seen.

2748
02:13:37,676 --> 02:13:39,044
I refuse to believe

2749
02:13:39,111 --> 02:13:41,179
that after the most courageous victory…

2750
02:13:41,246 --> 02:13:43,849
-[Lawler] Hurry up!
-[JR] …that any of us have ever seen,

2751
02:13:43,915 --> 02:13:46,385
that son of a bitch used that hammer

2752
02:13:47,085 --> 02:13:50,255
on Shawn… He's hit him twice
with that sledgehammer.

2753
02:13:51,490 --> 02:13:53,091
My God almighty.

2754
02:13:54,659 --> 02:13:56,762
-Triple H has got a--
-[Lawler] Hurry, hurry. Get the…

2755
02:13:56,828 --> 02:13:59,664
He's gonna rot in hell
for what he did here tonight.

2756
02:14:02,567 --> 02:14:03,769
Oh no.

2757
02:14:04,369 --> 02:14:05,871
That just makes me sick.

2758
02:14:06,972 --> 02:14:07,873
God.

2759
02:14:07,939 --> 02:14:11,877
[Lawler] Are you proud of yourself now?
Look at that stinkin' smile on his face.

2760
02:14:11,943 --> 02:14:15,981
[JR] How in God's name
can that human being be from this planet?

2761
02:14:16,048 --> 02:14:19,518
How can… Does he have no conscience?
Does he have no heart?

2762
02:14:19,584 --> 02:14:20,852
Does you have no soul?

2763
02:14:20,919 --> 02:14:23,855
You son of a bitch!
Do you realize what you've just done?

2764
02:14:24,990 --> 02:14:26,058
[Lawler] I cannot believe…

2765
02:14:26,124 --> 02:14:29,961
He said he was gonna leave Shawn Michaels
in a wheelchair, he may have just done it.

2766
02:14:30,028 --> 02:14:32,164
[JR] How in God's name
could he be smiling?

2767
02:14:32,230 --> 02:14:35,267
The Game is laughing
at his accomplishments.

2768
02:14:35,333 --> 02:14:36,968
[crowd chanting] HBK! HBK!

2769
02:14:37,035 --> 02:14:38,904
[JR] HBK beat your ass!

2770
02:14:38,970 --> 02:14:43,442
And now you may have succeeded
in doing what you wanted to do, damn you!

2771
02:14:45,777 --> 02:14:47,145
[Lawler] I can't believe it.

2772
02:14:48,213 --> 02:14:50,949
[JR] This is absolutely perverse.

2773
02:14:52,250 --> 02:14:54,953
[Lawler] Not once, but two…
Two times he drove that…

2774
02:14:55,020 --> 02:14:57,022
That sledgehammer into Shawn's back.

2775
02:14:58,123 --> 02:15:00,992
[JR] We always have a physician
here at our events.

2776
02:15:01,560 --> 02:15:04,062
They got a collar on Shawn, my God.

2777
02:15:05,130 --> 02:15:06,631
[Lawler] See this one more time.

2778
02:15:09,067 --> 02:15:11,837
[JR] The Game, to his credit,
blocked the Sweet Chin Music,

2779
02:15:11,903 --> 02:15:14,639
but what a counter to the Pedigree, King.

2780
02:15:14,706 --> 02:15:15,907
What a counter.

2781
02:15:16,708 --> 02:15:20,712
What a victory. My God,
what a moment in WWE history.

2782
02:15:20,779 --> 02:15:23,215
[Lawler] Yeah, but speaking of moments,
look at this.

2783
02:15:25,116 --> 02:15:26,585
[JR] Oh God.

2784
02:15:27,652 --> 02:15:34,059
I mean, with no… Mal… Total malice.
And no conscience.

2785
02:15:34,125 --> 02:15:36,595
[Lawler] And one was enough, but no.
Look at this lowlife.

2786
02:15:36,661 --> 02:15:38,396
[JR] He wanted Shawn
to look him in the eyes.

2787
02:15:38,463 --> 02:15:41,233
"I did it, Shawn." Get off… God.

2788
02:15:41,299 --> 02:15:43,969
And we just may have seen The Game…

2789
02:15:44,636 --> 02:15:46,872
His prophecy may have come true.

2790
02:15:46,938 --> 02:15:48,473
[crowd applauding]

2791
02:15:48,540 --> 02:15:52,878
[JR] The Game wanted
to put Shawn Michaels in a wheelchair,

2792
02:15:54,446 --> 02:15:55,614
Oh God.

2793
02:15:56,581 --> 02:15:58,016
[Lawler] Damn Triple H said that

2794
02:15:58,083 --> 02:16:01,152
Shawn Michaels would have to be
carried out from this match.

2795
02:16:01,219 --> 02:16:03,421
[JR] After one of
the most awesome performances

2796
02:16:03,488 --> 02:16:05,757
I've ever seen in 25 years,

2797
02:16:05,824 --> 02:16:08,927
for it to end like this
at the hands of Triple H,

2798
02:16:08,994 --> 02:16:10,996
is by God repulsive.

2799
02:16:12,531 --> 02:16:13,498
Just amazing to me.

2800
02:16:13,565 --> 02:16:18,270
I cannot believe… The courage
of Shawn Michaels, was absolutely amazing.

2801
02:16:18,336 --> 02:16:22,574
But what Triple H has done
to Shawn Michaels is absolutely…

2802
02:16:22,641 --> 02:16:24,943
It's uncalled for, it's pathetic,

2803
02:16:25,010 --> 02:16:27,679
and you can't do a damn thing about it
because it's unsanctioned.

2804
02:16:27,746 --> 02:16:29,814
He's a lowlife. It's as simple as that.

2805
02:16:29,881 --> 02:16:31,650
I mean, an absolute lowlife.

2806
02:16:31,716 --> 02:16:36,855
Ladies and gentlemen,
before we present our championship match,

2807
02:16:36,922 --> 02:16:39,190
I, Howard Finkel,

2808
02:16:39,257 --> 02:16:42,427
have a few things
I would like to get off my chest.

2809
02:16:42,494 --> 02:16:44,462
-[Lawler] Oh, please.
-[JR] Not after that, Howard.

2810
02:16:44,529 --> 02:16:47,799
-First of all, I'm very proud to say…
-[JR] God.

2811
02:16:47,866 --> 02:16:53,205
…that this is the first pay-per-view
that I've announced in this very arena

2812
02:16:53,271 --> 02:16:55,640
since WrestleMania II.

2813
02:16:56,274 --> 02:16:58,076
-[scattered applause]
-Thank you.

2814
02:16:58,143 --> 02:16:59,945
[Lawler] So what? What is he doing?

2815
02:17:00,011 --> 02:17:02,781
It's a little something called commitment.

2816
02:17:02,847 --> 02:17:04,849
And just so you know,

2817
02:17:04,916 --> 02:17:08,353
Major League Baseball
may be going on strike,

2818
02:17:08,420 --> 02:17:12,924
but you WWE fans will always have

2819
02:17:12,991 --> 02:17:14,025
The Fink.

2820
02:17:14,526 --> 02:17:16,294
-[JR] Was this all for…
-[rock music playing]

2821
02:17:16,361 --> 02:17:17,629
[Lawler] What is he doing?

2822
02:17:20,098 --> 02:17:21,633
-[JR] Now wait a minute.
-[Lawler] Hey!

2823
02:17:21,700 --> 02:17:24,369
This wasn't called for,
but it's very welcome!

2824
02:17:24,436 --> 02:17:28,206
-[JR] I think business just picked up.
-[Lawler] Oh baby! It's Trish!

2825
02:17:31,343 --> 02:17:35,380
[JR] Trish stealing Howard's spotlight.
Somebody already stole his hair.

2826
02:17:37,182 --> 02:17:39,150
[Lawler] Come on up,
pour your heart up, Trish.

2827
02:17:39,751 --> 02:17:41,786
I think she's already doing that,
isn't she?

2828
02:17:42,654 --> 02:17:44,656
[JR] WrestleMania II, who cares?

2829
02:17:46,758 --> 02:17:48,860
[Lawler] Look at the look
on that idiot's face.

2830
02:17:48,927 --> 02:17:52,063
[JR] He looks like,
"How dare you come into my ring?"

2831
02:17:52,130 --> 02:17:55,066
-[Lawler] Look at the shape of his head.
-Hold on. Hold on, honey.

2832
02:17:55,133 --> 02:17:56,401
Hold on.

2833
02:17:57,168 --> 02:18:00,639
Two weeks ago, you slapped me in the face.

2834
02:18:01,339 --> 02:18:05,510
Last week, you pushed me
into a pool of mud.

2835
02:18:06,544 --> 02:18:11,483
Now, just because you're in an arena
of Long Island skanks…

2836
02:18:11,549 --> 02:18:12,717
[Lawler exclaiming]

2837
02:18:12,784 --> 02:18:17,255
…doesn't give you the right to think
that you're hot stuff and interrupt me.

2838
02:18:17,856 --> 02:18:18,823
I know. I know.

2839
02:18:18,890 --> 02:18:22,927
And Howard, I've been feeling really bad
about the things I did to you,

2840
02:18:22,994 --> 02:18:24,929
and I hope you accept my apology.

2841
02:18:25,964 --> 02:18:29,768
But I gotta tell you, I've been sitting
in the back listening to you all night,

2842
02:18:30,268 --> 02:18:33,204
and I gotta tell you,
I never realized until tonight

2843
02:18:33,271 --> 02:18:35,940
what a sexy voice you have.

2844
02:18:36,441 --> 02:18:38,043
-[Lawler] Sexy voice?
-[Trish] Yeah.

2845
02:18:38,877 --> 02:18:41,680
-[JR] She drunk?
-So, to make it up to you,

2846
02:18:41,746 --> 02:18:43,615
I got a little surprise.

2847
02:18:44,182 --> 02:18:45,350
You do?

2848
02:18:45,417 --> 02:18:47,085
-[Lawler] Uh-oh.
-Wow, hey, Trish…

2849
02:18:47,152 --> 02:18:50,355
-[Lawler] Don't kiss him.
-…you know, we might have something here,

2850
02:18:50,422 --> 02:18:51,956
because I'll tell you

2851
02:18:52,023 --> 02:18:54,426
it certainly is a dog-eat-dog world,
isn't it?

2852
02:18:55,060 --> 02:18:56,261
Especially when…

2853
02:18:57,495 --> 02:18:59,197
you've got the puppies…

2854
02:18:59,264 --> 02:19:00,265
[Lawler] Hey!

2855
02:19:01,466 --> 02:19:03,068
…and I've…

2856
02:19:03,868 --> 02:19:06,137
got my wiener.

2857
02:19:06,204 --> 02:19:08,707
-[Lawler] Oh my God.
-[JR] Oh, God. I'm gonna vomit. I'm sick.

2858
02:19:08,773 --> 02:19:10,075
[Lawler] What does that mean?

2859
02:19:10,141 --> 02:19:12,210
Yes, you do, Howie.

2860
02:19:12,277 --> 02:19:14,145
Howie. But you know what?

2861
02:19:14,212 --> 02:19:18,350
Let's go slow. How about we start off
with a little hug, or…

2862
02:19:18,416 --> 02:19:21,152
Or maybe a big hug, Howie?

2863
02:19:21,219 --> 02:19:23,688
-It's fine with me.
-[Lawler] A big hug?

2864
02:19:24,222 --> 02:19:25,390
Ugh.

2865
02:19:26,224 --> 02:19:27,625
-What is Trish…?
-Wow.

2866
02:19:28,460 --> 02:19:30,095
[Lawler] He's getting to feel the puppies.

2867
02:19:30,161 --> 02:19:31,596
Trish, I must tell you something.

2868
02:19:31,663 --> 02:19:35,433
That certainly is a pleasant surprise
to me, what's going on here.

2869
02:19:35,500 --> 02:19:37,302
[giggling] Yeah?

2870
02:19:37,368 --> 02:19:40,605
Well, next I was thinking, um…

2871
02:19:40,672 --> 02:19:42,207
Actually, Howard,

2872
02:19:43,108 --> 02:19:44,609
the real surprise

2873
02:19:45,310 --> 02:19:47,112
is Lilian Garcia.

2874
02:19:47,178 --> 02:19:49,881
-[Lawler] Lilian Garcia?
-[JR] Oh, there's Lilian!

2875
02:19:50,815 --> 02:19:52,684
-Lilian Garcia!
-[JR and Lawler] Oh!

2876
02:19:52,751 --> 02:19:54,786
-[JR] Lilian just slapped Howard!
-[Lawler] Good!

2877
02:19:54,853 --> 02:19:57,122
You think you can get rid of me?
I don't think so.

2878
02:19:57,188 --> 02:19:59,891
[JR] Howard was probably feeling
a little funny down there.

2879
02:19:59,958 --> 02:20:02,327
-[JR] Oh my!
-[Lawler] Yeah!

2880
02:20:02,394 --> 02:20:04,963
He touched Trish,
and I was gonna tell Howard

2881
02:20:05,029 --> 02:20:07,031
to tell his pants
it's not polite to point,

2882
02:20:07,098 --> 02:20:10,135
but I think Trish just took care of that
along with Lilian.

2883
02:20:10,201 --> 02:20:13,071
[JR] It's obvious that Howard
wasn't wearing a cup.

2884
02:20:13,138 --> 02:20:17,475
The ladies have marked their turf,
as far as The Fink is concerned.

2885
02:20:23,081 --> 02:20:25,083
Howard got a little bit too big
for his britches.

2886
02:20:25,150 --> 02:20:27,886
-No pun intended there, King.
-[Lawler] Yeah, you got that right.

2887
02:20:28,720 --> 02:20:30,321
[JR] Well, ladies and gentlemen,

2888
02:20:30,388 --> 02:20:32,724
it's our pleasure now
to send you down to ringside,

2889
02:20:32,791 --> 02:20:38,029
to the SmackDown announcers,
who will call the SmackDown main event.

2890
02:20:38,096 --> 02:20:40,732
-What the hell was that?
-I have no idea.

2891
02:20:40,799 --> 02:20:44,235
But I'll tell you one thing, it is our
privilege to call the main event tonight,

2892
02:20:44,302 --> 02:20:48,406
because the hype is over.
The anticipation is at a fever pitch.

2893
02:20:48,473 --> 02:20:49,741
There's no more talking.

2894
02:20:49,808 --> 02:20:52,677
It is the most anticipated main event
in SummerSlam history.

2895
02:20:52,744 --> 02:20:54,045
[Tazz] And it's coming up next.

2896
02:20:54,112 --> 02:20:58,983
The Next Big Thing, Brock Lesnar, gets
his shot and the Undisputed Championship,

2897
02:20:59,050 --> 02:21:00,852
and "The People's Champ" The Rock.

2898
02:21:00,919 --> 02:21:03,988
[Cole] Will The Rock continue
his reign as champion?

2899
02:21:04,055 --> 02:21:08,493
Or will 2002 be the summer of Brock?

2900
02:21:10,195 --> 02:21:13,665
[Heyman] Brock Lesnar, you are real,

2901
02:21:13,731 --> 02:21:17,836
because you are The Next Big Thing.

2902
02:21:17,902 --> 02:21:24,776
And, tonight… Tonight, Brock,
you become the next King of the Ring.

2903
02:21:25,276 --> 02:21:28,947
[JR] The winner of this match is not only
the prestigious King of the Ring,

2904
02:21:29,013 --> 02:21:33,117
but he also earns the right
to fight in the main event at SummerSlam

2905
02:21:33,184 --> 02:21:35,053
against the Undisputed Champion.

2906
02:21:35,119 --> 02:21:38,423
Oh my God. Lesnar caught
Van Dam in midair!

2907
02:21:38,490 --> 02:21:41,125
It is over! Lesnar's the King of the Ring!

2908
02:21:41,192 --> 02:21:44,762
And this rookie now,
has earned the main event shot

2909
02:21:44,829 --> 02:21:47,765
at the Undisputed Title at SummerSlam.

2910
02:21:52,003 --> 02:21:53,271
[exciting music playing]

2911
02:21:53,338 --> 02:21:55,540
[JR] The Undisputed Title on the line.

2912
02:21:55,607 --> 02:21:59,110
Who will go to SummerSlam to meet
Brock Lesnar for the Undisputed Title?

2913
02:21:59,177 --> 02:22:02,714
The first man to score a pinfall
or submission wins the match,

2914
02:22:02,780 --> 02:22:05,517
and therefore becomes
the Undisputed Champion.

The Rock! The Rock!

2919

The Rock
is the Undisputed Champion of the WWE!

2920
02:22:22,066 --> 02:22:26,838
[Heyman] Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the extreme,

2921
02:22:27,438 --> 02:22:31,309
I fear not reprisals from my enemies,

2922
02:22:31,910 --> 02:22:35,713
for I walk with The Next Big Thing,

2923
02:22:35,780 --> 02:22:37,849
Brock Lesnar!

2924
02:22:37,916 --> 02:22:40,785
Rock, you're in the wrong place.

2925
02:22:41,986 --> 02:22:43,521
The wrong year.

2926
02:22:45,456 --> 02:22:47,225
With the wrong guy.

2927
02:22:47,292 --> 02:22:49,928
The blood of Hulkamania

2928
02:22:50,361 --> 02:22:51,896
is in my hand.

2929
02:22:52,430 --> 02:22:53,498
And Rock,

2930
02:22:55,133 --> 02:22:59,504
the blood of you
is gonna be on my hand come SummerSlam.

2931
02:23:00,471 --> 02:23:02,340
[Rock] You know, Brock Lesnar,

2932
02:23:02,407 --> 02:23:04,175
you wanna play games with The Rock?

2933
02:23:04,242 --> 02:23:07,378
You think you wanna play mind games,
is that what you wanna do?

2934
02:23:07,445 --> 02:23:09,280
You wanna send a message to The Rock?

2935
02:23:09,347 --> 02:23:12,984
Well, The Rock's got a message for you.
Just bring it!

2936
02:23:15,353 --> 02:23:20,291
All I care about
is being the absolute best.

2937
02:23:20,358 --> 02:23:22,794
[Lesnar] In my mind, I'm number one.
Always.

2938
02:23:22,860 --> 02:23:25,363
I wouldn't be here
if I didn't feel like I was number one.

2939
02:23:26,297 --> 02:23:29,033
[Rock] I don't care about being
the biggest guy in the industry.

2940
02:23:29,100 --> 02:23:31,703
I don't care about being the strongest.

2941
02:23:31,769 --> 02:23:33,771
[Lesnar] Outdo my opponent. Always.

2942
02:23:34,539 --> 02:23:36,174
In my mind, I'm number one.

2943
02:23:37,375 --> 02:23:41,980
[Rock] All I care about
is being the absolute best.

the WWE Undisputed Championship.

Introducing the challenger, being

2951
02:24:14,445 --> 02:24:16,280
from Minneapolis, Minnesota,

2952

weighing in at 295 pounds,

2953
02:24:19,250 --> 02:24:23,554
"The Next Big Thing" Brock Lesnar!

2954
02:24:24,322 --> 02:24:30,328
[Cole] Are we looking at
the animalistic future of the WWE?

2955
02:24:30,395 --> 02:24:34,799
The brutality that is Brock Lesnar.

2956
02:24:34,866 --> 02:24:36,701
[Tazz] The constant talking's done.

2957
02:24:36,768 --> 02:24:38,670
It's ass-kicking time.

2958
02:24:38,736 --> 02:24:41,406
Lesnar knows that, and so does The Rock.

2959
02:24:41,472 --> 02:24:43,775
And it's go-time right now.

2960

[Cole] Will The Next Big Thing
become The Big Thing tonight?

-[Cole] And The Rock…
-[Tazz] Here we go!

2968

…wasting little time!

…with the title on the line.

[Tazz] Whoa!

2973
02:25:19,077 --> 02:25:21,446
[Cole] And what
a belly-to-belly by Brock Lesnar.

2974
02:25:21,512 --> 02:25:24,682
[Tazz] Just like that.
Clasps the hands, one throw!

2975
02:25:24,749 --> 02:25:27,585
[Cole] Here's the cover.
Hook of the leg, and The Rock kicks out.

2976
02:25:27,652 --> 02:25:31,155
[Tazz] Brock sending a message, that big
over the top belly-to-belly to The Rock.

2977
02:25:31,222 --> 02:25:32,924
[Cole] And Brock Lesnar

2978
02:25:33,624 --> 02:25:34,559
with The Rock.

2979
02:25:34,625 --> 02:25:37,195
But just like a sack of potatoes.

2980
02:25:37,261 --> 02:25:38,830
Driving him into that knee.

2981
02:25:38,896 --> 02:25:40,231
[Tazz] The ribs, Cole.

2982
02:25:40,298 --> 02:25:44,569
The injured ribs from SmackDown,
and the week before at Raw.

2983
02:25:44,635 --> 02:25:45,670
[Cole] Here's the cover.

2984
02:25:45,737 --> 02:25:48,272
Hook of the leg by Brock,
and The Rock gets the shoulder up.

2985
02:25:48,339 --> 02:25:52,844
It was six days ago that Triple H
injured the ribs of The Rock.

2986
02:25:52,910 --> 02:25:56,147
On SmackDown Thursday night,
Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero,

2987
02:25:56,214 --> 02:25:59,183
along with Brock Lesnar,
continued the damage.

2988
02:25:59,250 --> 02:26:02,520
And Lesnar, going right for the ribs
early on tonight.

2989
02:26:02,587 --> 02:26:06,190
[Tazz] That big, thick,
strong deltoid of Brock Lesnar

2990
02:26:06,257 --> 02:26:08,126
driven right through The Rock's ribs.

2991
02:26:08,192 --> 02:26:10,661
[Cole] And The Rock driven
through the second rope.

2992
02:26:10,728 --> 02:26:13,931
And outside the ring,
there you see the agent of Brock…

2993
02:26:13,998 --> 02:26:16,100
Paul Heyman with a cheap shot.

2994
02:26:16,167 --> 02:26:19,670
And Heyman could be
a wild card in this matchup.

2995
02:26:19,737 --> 02:26:21,739
[Tazz] I think Heyman
might've just torn a hamstring.

2996
02:26:21,806 --> 02:26:23,875
That's the first physical thing
he's done in about…

2997
02:26:23,941 --> 02:26:25,843
since his hotel room earlier tonight.

2998
02:26:25,910 --> 02:26:28,312
[Cole] The Brahma Bull up on the barricade

2999
02:26:28,379 --> 02:26:32,283
as this animal, Brock Lesnar,
drives Rock into the crowd.

3000
02:26:32,350 --> 02:26:33,417
[Tazz] Check out Paul.

3001
02:26:33,484 --> 02:26:38,990
A sneaky, nasty maneuver
by the master of sneakiness, Heyman.

3002
02:26:39,056 --> 02:26:41,425
[Cole] If you're the youngster,
Brock Lesnar,

3003
02:26:41,492 --> 02:26:44,996
you could not ask for this match
to start off any better.

3004
02:26:45,062 --> 02:26:49,600
The Rock dropped on those ribs
on the steel barricade.

3005
02:26:49,667 --> 02:26:51,002
[Tazz] Brock Lesnar, just…

3006
02:26:51,068 --> 02:26:52,870
Just all power.

3007
02:26:52,937 --> 02:26:55,840
Six foot four, 295 pounds.

3008
02:26:56,474 --> 02:26:59,610
Two-time Big Ten champ.
Four-time All-American.

3009
02:26:59,677 --> 02:27:03,047
Two-time national champ
from the University of Minnesota.

3010
02:27:03,114 --> 02:27:07,585
[Cole] And Brock Lesnar,
continues the pressure on The Rock.

3011
02:27:07,652 --> 02:27:09,120
And if you're Brock Lesnar,

3012
02:27:09,187 --> 02:27:12,657
the toughest opponent perhaps
that The Rock has ever faced,

3013
02:27:12,723 --> 02:27:16,227
you have to continue this ground-based
attack on The People's Champ.

3014
02:27:16,294 --> 02:27:18,396
And another belly-to-belly!

3015
02:27:18,462 --> 02:27:20,798
And you see The Rock writhing in pain.

3016
02:27:20,865 --> 02:27:23,534
Brock into the cover.
Could crown a new champion!

3017
02:27:23,601 --> 02:27:25,937
And Rock just gets the shoulder up.

3018
02:27:26,838 --> 02:27:29,540
[Tazz] The Rock came roaring in
like gangbusters.

3019
02:27:29,607 --> 02:27:31,442
That was about it offensively for him.

3020
02:27:31,509 --> 02:27:33,644
And Lesnar just grounded The Rock.

3021
02:27:33,711 --> 02:27:35,479
[Cole] And The Rock with a right hand.

3022
02:27:35,546 --> 02:27:39,150
Tries to battle back.
Another one from the Undisputed Champion.

3023
02:27:39,217 --> 02:27:41,385
-[Tazz] Heyman!
-[Cole] Look at Paul Heyman!

3024
02:27:41,452 --> 02:27:43,454
Heyman grabbing the leg of The Rock.

3025
02:27:43,521 --> 02:27:45,656
giving the advantage again to Lesnar.

3026
02:27:45,723 --> 02:27:49,093
[Tazz] As if Brock Lesnar needs
an advantage from Heyman.

3027
02:27:49,160 --> 02:27:52,296
[Cole] And Lesnar continues
that brutal attack on the ribs

3028
02:27:52,363 --> 02:27:54,031
of the Undisputed Champion.

3029
02:27:54,098 --> 02:27:55,399
And Heyman again.

3030
02:27:55,900 --> 02:27:56,767
Look at him!

3031
02:27:56,834 --> 02:27:59,904
[Tazz] I'm begging the ref or somebody
to get Heyman the hell out of here.

3032
02:27:59,971 --> 02:28:02,106
-[Cole] Paul Heyman…
-[Tazz] It's like a handicap match.

3033
02:28:02,173 --> 02:28:04,375
[Cole] …he's riding the gravy train
with Brock Lesnar.

3034
02:28:04,442 --> 02:28:08,980
A win tonight for Lesnar
makes Paul Heyman virtually a millionaire.

3035
02:28:09,046 --> 02:28:12,617
He's got the champion, the youngest
champion ever, in his corner.

3036
02:28:12,683 --> 02:28:15,186
[Tazz] Heyman
knows a lot of people with money.

3037
02:28:15,253 --> 02:28:16,721
Hopefully he becomes a billionaire.

3038
02:28:16,787 --> 02:28:18,723
[Cole] Here's The Rock
whipped off the rope.

3039
02:28:18,789 --> 02:28:21,025
But the inexperienced rookie,
he's shown it.

3040
02:28:21,092 --> 02:28:24,662
He telegraphed it! Wow! Lesnar exploding.

3041
02:28:24,729 --> 02:28:26,931
[Tazz] Big, big powerslam by Lesnar.

3042
02:28:26,998 --> 02:28:30,534
[Cole] Hook of the leg. There's two!
The Rock just gets the shoulder up again.

3043
02:28:30,601 --> 02:28:33,504
[Tazz] The Rock's all heart.
Look at Heyman, that face.

3044
02:28:33,571 --> 02:28:36,040
[Cole] Tazz, The Rock will never say quit.

3045
02:28:36,107 --> 02:28:38,476
The Rock will do
anything to keep the title.

3046
02:28:39,277 --> 02:28:42,480
He'll never use
those injured ribs as an excuse.

3047
02:28:43,915 --> 02:28:47,084
[Tazz] Well, you know what?
The Rock, five-time Tag Team Champion.

3048
02:28:47,151 --> 02:28:48,653
Two-time Intercontinental Champion.

3049
02:28:48,719 --> 02:28:51,088
And a seven-time WWE Champion.

3050
02:28:51,155 --> 02:28:52,957
What more can you bring to the table?

3051
02:28:53,024 --> 02:28:55,226
[Cole] But he's never faced
a man like Lesnar before.

3052
02:28:55,293 --> 02:28:56,260
Oh wow.

3053
02:28:56,327 --> 02:28:58,562
[Tazz] The ribs, the ribs, the ribs.

3054
02:28:58,629 --> 02:29:01,766
Lesnar, simple but effective attack.

3055
02:29:02,500 --> 02:29:05,036
[Cole] And Brock Lesnar,
here he comes, the speed!

3056
02:29:05,102 --> 02:29:06,704
Oh! Into that steel post.

3057
02:29:06,771 --> 02:29:07,905
[Tazz] Inexperience.

3058
02:29:07,972 --> 02:29:10,808
[Cole] And Lesnar's shoulder
into the steel post.

3059
02:29:10,875 --> 02:29:14,779
Driving force.
And The Rock trying to recuperate.

3060
02:29:14,845 --> 02:29:16,547
The Brahma Bull.

3061
02:29:16,614 --> 02:29:18,249
[Tazz] Come on, Rock.
Get a big throw here.

3062
02:29:18,316 --> 02:29:19,884
[Cole] Oh, what a suplex.

3063
02:29:19,951 --> 02:29:24,288
[Tazz] A little taste of Brock's medicine
with a big back suplex.

3064
02:29:24,355 --> 02:29:27,258
[Cole] Now The Rock hoping to gain…
To catch his breath.

3065
02:29:27,325 --> 02:29:29,360
Both men down, center of the ring.

3066
02:29:29,427 --> 02:29:34,198
First man to his feet here could gain
the momentum in this championship matchup.

3067
02:29:34,265 --> 02:29:36,734
[Tazz] The Rock ain't showing
any signs of life.

3068
02:29:36,801 --> 02:29:38,936
Brock Lesnar's moving at least.

3069
02:29:39,003 --> 02:29:41,839
This is a war, man. This thing has been…

3070
02:29:41,906 --> 02:29:45,276
[Cole] Both men kip up.
Can you believe it?

3071
02:29:45,343 --> 02:29:46,811
[Tazz] That was cool, man.

3072
02:29:46,877 --> 02:29:49,246
[Cole] And The Rock, with right hands

3073
02:29:49,847 --> 02:29:51,048
to Brock Lesnar.

3074
02:29:51,115 --> 02:29:53,217
The champion reversed into the ropes.

3075
02:29:53,284 --> 02:29:56,554
Trying to knock the big man down,
but that's like hitting a brick wall.

3076
02:29:56,620 --> 02:29:58,322
-[Tazz] No lie.
-[Cole] Again a clothesline.

3077
02:29:58,389 --> 02:30:01,792
[Tazz] Go low, Rock! Go low! Go low!

3078
02:30:01,859 --> 02:30:04,028
[Cole] Ducks underneath the clothesline
by Brock Lesnar.

3079
02:30:04,095 --> 02:30:06,097
-Now knocks Brock down.
-[Tazz] Go high, Rock!

3080
02:30:06,163 --> 02:30:09,300
[Cole] And the champion,
drops Lesnar with a DDT.

3081
02:30:09,367 --> 02:30:11,502
Floats into the cover. Hooks the leg. Two!

3082
02:30:11,569 --> 02:30:13,771
-[Tazz] Ho ho!
-[Cole] Lesnar just gets the shoulder up.

3083
02:30:14,772 --> 02:30:16,507
[Tazz[ Rock's picking the pace up.

3084
02:30:17,942 --> 02:30:21,312
Lesnar didn't expect
that arsenal from The Rock.

3085
02:30:21,379 --> 02:30:24,081
-And Heyman…
-[Cole] The Rock, locking in…

3086
02:30:24,148 --> 02:30:25,516
for the Sharpshooter,

3087
02:30:25,583 --> 02:30:28,386
but Heyman on the apron
causing the distraction again.

3088
02:30:28,452 --> 02:30:30,054
And Heyman knocked down.

3089
02:30:30,688 --> 02:30:34,091
[Tazz] Leg lace!
"Leg drag," I'll correct myself there.

3090
02:30:34,158 --> 02:30:35,626
[Cole] A leg drag by The Rock.

3091
02:30:35,693 --> 02:30:36,861
Setting Brock Lesnar up,

3092
02:30:36,927 --> 02:30:39,797
for perhaps the submission maneuver
that is the Sharpshooter.

3093
02:30:40,831 --> 02:30:43,401
-And there it is. Locked in.
-[Tazz] Sit back. Sit back.

3094
02:30:43,467 --> 02:30:45,302
Lesnar might be too strong for this, Cole.

3095
02:30:45,369 --> 02:30:47,304
[Cole] The Sharpshooter locked in
by The Rock.

3096
02:30:47,371 --> 02:30:51,008
Will Brock Lesnar submit
for the first time in his career tonight?

3097
02:30:51,075 --> 02:30:53,077
[Tazz] Brock Lesnar,
with his amateur background,

3098
02:30:53,144 --> 02:30:56,647
is conditioned for a maneuver
like this on his lower back.

3099
02:30:56,714 --> 02:30:58,082
Conditioned for this.

3100
02:30:58,149 --> 02:31:02,953
[Cole] And The Rock, you can see, putting
everything he has into the Sharpshooter.

3101
02:31:03,020 --> 02:31:05,856
Referee Mike Chioda
in the face of Brock Lesnar.

3102
02:31:06,557 --> 02:31:09,193
Will The Next Big Thing tap out.

3103
02:31:09,260 --> 02:31:11,829
[Tazz] Look at how low The Rock's
hips are, if we can get a shot.

3104
02:31:11,896 --> 02:31:14,532
Look at how low The Rock's hips are,
six foot five.

3105
02:31:14,598 --> 02:31:19,136
Keeping the leverage down, keeping
the pressure on the lower back of Lesnar.

3106
02:31:19,670 --> 02:31:21,539
[Cole] The experience of The Rock.

3107
02:31:21,605 --> 02:31:24,809
Grounding the monster
that is Brock Lesnar.

3108
02:31:26,010 --> 02:31:28,512
[Tazz] Lesnar's down on his belly.
He's pancaked right now.

3109
02:31:28,579 --> 02:31:31,982
And The Rock knows it. Keep that hold on,
Rock. You got the big kid hurtin'.

3110
02:31:32,049 --> 02:31:33,784
[Cole] Look at Lesnar.
The right hand is up.

3111
02:31:33,851 --> 02:31:37,288
Will Lesnar tap?
Will Lesnar tap to the Sharpshooter?

3112
02:31:37,755 --> 02:31:39,757
[Tazz] Oh, but Heyman's back
on that damn apron.

3113
02:31:39,824 --> 02:31:42,092
[Cole] Heyman again distracting the ref.

3114
02:31:42,159 --> 02:31:44,662
Dropping a steel chair into the ring.

3115
02:31:45,196 --> 02:31:46,730
-Uh oh.
-[Tazz] Pull him in, yeah!

3116
02:31:46,797 --> 02:31:49,233
[Cole] Heyman in, the hard way!

3117
02:31:50,201 --> 02:31:53,037
[Tazz] Well, Heyman's gonna wish
he never interfered in this match.

3118
02:31:53,104 --> 02:31:54,238
[Cole] Paul Heyman…

3119
02:31:54,305 --> 02:31:58,375
And Brock Lesnar, a clubbing blow
to the back of the neck.

3120
02:31:58,442 --> 02:32:02,079
[Tazz] Paul Heyman's meal ticket,
"The Next Big Thing" Brock Lesnar,

3121
02:32:02,146 --> 02:32:04,415
just saved Paul Heyman.

3122
02:32:05,316 --> 02:32:09,720
[Cole] And Brock Lesnar crawling…
Crawling towards the steel chair.

3123
02:32:09,787 --> 02:32:11,689
Heyman has the referee distracted.

3124
02:32:11,755 --> 02:32:13,624
The animal with the weapon in hand.

3125
02:32:13,691 --> 02:32:16,227
-[Tazz] He don't need a weapon. His hands…
-[Cole] Into the ribs!

3126
02:32:16,293 --> 02:32:20,297
The injured ribs of The Rock.
That steel chair driven like a javelin.

3127
02:32:21,732 --> 02:32:24,168
[Tazz] The Rock is in a bad way right now.

3128
02:32:24,235 --> 02:32:26,103
There's that big thick bearhug.

3129
02:32:26,170 --> 02:32:30,307
[Cole] And we saw what this bearhug did
to the legendary Hollywood Hulk Hogan

3130
02:32:30,374 --> 02:32:31,609
just a few weeks ago.

3131
02:32:31,675 --> 02:32:35,813
Brock Lesnar's massive arms
sucking the life out of Hogan,

3132
02:32:35,880 --> 02:32:37,581
causing internal bleeding.

3133
02:32:37,648 --> 02:32:39,550
Blood dripping from the mouth.

3134
02:32:39,617 --> 02:32:42,253
Will The Rock suffer
the same fate tonight?

3135
02:32:42,319 --> 02:32:45,122
[Tazz] It ain't just the thickness
of Brock's arms, Cole.

3136
02:32:45,189 --> 02:32:47,491
It's that great hand strength.

3137
02:32:47,558 --> 02:32:51,695
That grip from all those years
wrestling as an amateur.

3138
02:32:51,762 --> 02:32:55,099
That's taken… [stammering] Toll.

3139
02:32:55,166 --> 02:32:57,034
Easy for me to say. The Rock's back.

3140
02:32:57,101 --> 02:32:59,103
[Cole] The Rock with a right hand
to Brock Lesnar.

3141
02:32:59,170 --> 02:33:01,739
Still has that bearhug cinched. Oh!

3142
02:33:02,239 --> 02:33:03,374
And Brock Lesnar…

3143
02:33:03,941 --> 02:33:09,213
quickly again back into the ribs,
into the bearhug on The Rock.

3144
02:33:10,080 --> 02:33:13,284
[Tazz] Remember, we said,
The Rock's ribs first injured--

3145
02:33:13,350 --> 02:33:16,287
[Cole] Rock's… His shoulder's down.
Rolls back over to his belly.

3146
02:33:16,353 --> 02:33:17,988
The instinct of the champion.

3147
02:33:18,055 --> 02:33:20,291
[Tazz] Rock's ribs were initially injured

3148
02:33:20,357 --> 02:33:22,526
weeks back on Raw by Triple H.

3149
02:33:22,593 --> 02:33:25,596
[Cole] Again, shoulders down,
again, champion gets his shoulder up.

3150
02:33:25,663 --> 02:33:29,400
The Rock, despite the pain,
knows where he is at all times.

3151
02:33:29,466 --> 02:33:32,570
That's what this title, hanging onto
this title, means to The Rock.

3152
02:33:32,636 --> 02:33:35,539
[Tazz] A lot of these fans here,
they're into Brock Lesnar.

3153
02:33:35,606 --> 02:33:38,409
[Tazz] But you're right,
that great mat instinct

3154
02:33:38,475 --> 02:33:40,778
of Brock Lesnar,
keeping The Rock in the middle,

3155
02:33:40,844 --> 02:33:43,948
keeping that gutwrench, that bearhug,
that waistlock around The Rock's waist.

3156
02:33:44,014 --> 02:33:47,418
[Cole] The Rock desperately
trying to make it to the ropes.

3157
02:33:47,484 --> 02:33:50,321
[Tazz] You gotta question
The Rock's conditioning.

3158
02:33:50,387 --> 02:33:52,590
We've see all those videos
of him training.

3159
02:33:52,656 --> 02:33:55,593
Upright, running, through the steps,
training one way.

3160
02:33:55,659 --> 02:33:57,061
But no mat work.

3161
02:33:57,127 --> 02:33:59,797
[Cole] But how can you question
the stamina of The Rock.

3162
02:33:59,863 --> 02:34:01,398
The cardiovascular condition…

3163
02:34:01,465 --> 02:34:06,437
And look at Brock Lesnar continuing
to squeeze The Rock's guts, his ribs.

3164
02:34:06,503 --> 02:34:10,007
[Tazz] I'm not saying his stamina, what
I'm saying is he didn't train on the mat.

3165
02:34:10,074 --> 02:34:12,509
I didn't see any mat training by The Rock.

3166
02:34:12,576 --> 02:34:14,245
[Cole] The arm down one time.

3167
02:34:14,979 --> 02:34:16,847
The arm down a second time.

3168
02:34:16,914 --> 02:34:20,618
Lesnar made Hollywood Hulk Hogan
pass out from the bearhug.

3169
02:34:20,684 --> 02:34:22,953
Will it happen to The Rock tonight? No!

3170
02:34:23,654 --> 02:34:27,057
The fight of The Brahma Bull lives on.

3171
02:34:28,025 --> 02:34:30,961
[Tazz] These people, they're not digging
The Rock here on Long Island.

3172
02:34:31,028 --> 02:34:32,930
But that's all right.
The Rock's all heart.

3173
02:34:32,997 --> 02:34:35,899
[Cole] The Undisputed Title
is on the line.

3174
02:34:35,966 --> 02:34:39,436
The Rock the champion.
The challenger Brock Lesnar.

3175
02:34:39,503 --> 02:34:41,605
-[crowd chanting] Rocky!
-A sold out Nassau Coliseum

3176
02:34:41,672 --> 02:34:43,674
begins to come alive for The Rock.

3177
02:34:43,741 --> 02:34:46,744
[Tazz] Now the "Rocky" chants.
These people need to pick a side.

3178
02:34:46,810 --> 02:34:48,412
Now they want The Rock!

3179
02:34:48,479 --> 02:34:49,680
[Cole] A right hand.

3180
02:34:50,214 --> 02:34:52,616
To the side of the head of Lesnar.
And another.

3181
02:34:52,683 --> 02:34:56,053
And the champ begins to build momentum.

3182
02:34:56,120 --> 02:34:58,222
[Tazz] The champ, The Rock,
wants to hold onto

3183
02:34:58,288 --> 02:35:01,458
the most prestigious championship
in this great business,

3184
02:35:01,525 --> 02:35:02,760
the WWE Championship.

3185
02:35:02,826 --> 02:35:05,229
[Cole] Paul Heyman again
distracting the referee.

3186
02:35:05,296 --> 02:35:07,131
That may have helped The Rock that time.

3187
02:35:07,197 --> 02:35:09,433
Heyman may have hurt
his own man that time.

3188
02:35:09,500 --> 02:35:11,935
[Tazz] Hey, you don't wanna
have his back turned…

3189
02:35:12,002 --> 02:35:15,105
Look at The Rock's eyes, man.
The Rock is a gladiator.

3190
02:35:15,172 --> 02:35:16,540
This is a battle.

3191
02:35:16,607 --> 02:35:18,575
And that's it.
It's all about winning the match.

3192
02:35:18,642 --> 02:35:21,879
[Cole] The champion can sense, perhaps,
a turning point.

3193
02:35:21,945 --> 02:35:23,981
Perhaps a momentum… And once again.

3194
02:35:24,048 --> 02:35:26,950
-[Tazz] Don't do it!
-[Cole] Driving The Rock into the corner.

3195
02:35:27,017 --> 02:35:29,953
And maybe The Rock took
a little too much time there.

3196
02:35:30,587 --> 02:35:34,758
[Tazz] It looked like he got hit by
a big fullback for Florida State.

3197
02:35:35,359 --> 02:35:38,495
[Cole] A driving shoulder into the ribs.

3198
02:35:39,063 --> 02:35:42,800
Can you imagine,
Brock Lesnar in three weeks can change

3199
02:35:42,866 --> 02:35:45,235
-the entire sports entertainment--
-[Tazz] Look!

3200
02:35:45,302 --> 02:35:48,038
[Cole] The Rock
exploding out of the corner.

3201
02:35:48,539 --> 02:35:50,341
-[Tazz] Never say die…
-[crowd cheering loudly]

3202
02:35:50,407 --> 02:35:53,277
[Cole] The Brahma Bull digging deep down.

3203
02:35:53,344 --> 02:35:55,713
The white hands to the challenger.

3204
02:35:57,715 --> 02:35:59,083
[Tazz] Oh, there goes Lesnar.

3205
02:35:59,149 --> 02:36:01,885
[Cole] Laying the smack down,
and Lesnar knocked out of the ring.

3206
02:36:01,952 --> 02:36:02,786
[crowd cheering]

3207
02:36:02,853 --> 02:36:05,556
[Cole] Listen to Nassau Coliseum.

3208
02:36:05,622 --> 02:36:08,058
[Tazz] Well, half of them are booing,
half are cheering.

3209
02:36:08,125 --> 02:36:11,061
Some like The Rock.
Some like Brock Lesnar.

3210
02:36:13,130 --> 02:36:15,432
[Tazz] I don't know the last time, Cole,
we seen The Rock

3211
02:36:15,499 --> 02:36:17,434
use these tactics and be this intense.

3212
02:36:17,501 --> 02:36:19,503
You wanna fight a vicious warrior,

3213
02:36:19,570 --> 02:36:20,871
you better be vicious.

3214
02:36:20,938 --> 02:36:24,041
[Cole] This was perhaps
the most anticipated title match

3215
02:36:24,108 --> 02:36:26,577
in the history of SummerSlam.

3216
02:36:26,643 --> 02:36:30,314
And thus far The Rock and Brock
have delivered.

3217
02:36:30,381 --> 02:36:33,484
And The Brahma Bull
clearing the announce table.

3218
02:36:33,984 --> 02:36:36,053
What does The Rock have on his mind.

3219
02:36:36,120 --> 02:36:37,755
[Tazz] Oh, I'm thinking,
I ain't no genius,

3220
02:36:37,821 --> 02:36:40,691
-but I'm thinking he wants to put Lesnar--
-[Heyman] Oh, shit!

3221
02:36:42,059 --> 02:36:43,327
[Cole] Now, Paul Heyman,

3222
02:36:43,394 --> 02:36:46,930
looks as if he thought he'd try
to sneak up on The Rock.

3223
02:36:47,564 --> 02:36:49,299
[Tazz] There goes Lesnar's head.

3224
02:36:49,366 --> 02:36:51,034
[Cole] And Brock Lesnar…

3225
02:36:51,535 --> 02:36:52,970
He tried to ambush The Rock,

3226
02:36:53,036 --> 02:36:56,306
The Brahma Bull seemingly
with eyes on the back of his head.

3227
02:36:56,373 --> 02:36:58,008
Shining up the old ring post.

3228
02:36:58,075 --> 02:37:00,077
And you know where he's gonna stick it.

3229
02:37:00,144 --> 02:37:02,613
[Tazz] Yeah, right in
Brock Lesnar's big head!

3230
02:37:02,679 --> 02:37:03,647
Oh!

3231
02:37:04,448 --> 02:37:05,883
[Cole] Off the steel post!

3232
02:37:05,949 --> 02:37:07,951
Head first goes the challenger.

3233
02:37:09,420 --> 02:37:11,655
[Tazz] I've got a funny feeling, Cole,

3234
02:37:11,722 --> 02:37:15,225
that The Rock's got something in mind
for happy Heyman.

3235
02:37:15,959 --> 02:37:17,961
[Cole] Brock Lesnar's agent

3236
02:37:18,028 --> 02:37:20,297
is in deep, deep trouble.

3237
02:37:20,364 --> 02:37:22,232
[Tazz] I'm so happy right now.

3238
02:37:22,299 --> 02:37:24,535
-Oh my God!
-[Cole] Look at this!

3239
02:37:24,601 --> 02:37:26,003
-[Tazz] Oh!
-[Cole] Whoa!

3240
02:37:26,069 --> 02:37:28,972
Paul Heyman driven through the damn table

3241
02:37:29,039 --> 02:37:31,775
with a Rock Bottom by The Brahma Bull.

3242
02:37:31,842 --> 02:37:34,478
And Paul Heyman deserves every bit of it.

3243
02:37:34,545 --> 02:37:36,880
[Tazz] Hallelujah, there is a God!

3244
02:37:37,414 --> 02:37:39,516
Whoo-hoo, wow!

3245
02:37:39,583 --> 02:37:41,618
[Cole] Brock Lesnar still reeling

3246
02:37:41,685 --> 02:37:44,087
after his head collided
with the steel ring post.

3247
02:37:44,154 --> 02:37:46,490
And now you can see the champion,

3248
02:37:46,557 --> 02:37:48,358
you can almost see the smoke,

3249
02:37:48,425 --> 02:37:50,928
coming from the nostrils
of the Brahma Bull.

3250
02:37:50,994 --> 02:37:53,197
He senses victory is near.

3251
02:37:53,263 --> 02:37:54,631
[Tazz] No doubt Rock is snorting.

3252
02:37:54,698 --> 02:37:58,335
And The Rock's focus goes
right back to Lesnar.

3253
02:37:59,403 --> 02:38:02,039
[Cole] The Rock taking it to Brock Lesnar.

3254
02:38:02,105 --> 02:38:03,607
Tosses him back into the ring.

3255
02:38:03,674 --> 02:38:06,543
[Tazz] Lesnar's unbeaten though.
Never been pinned, never tapped out.

3256
02:38:06,610 --> 02:38:09,179
[crowd chanting] Ref, you suck!

3257
02:38:09,246 --> 02:38:11,548
[Cole] This crowd at Nassau Coliseum.

3258
02:38:11,615 --> 02:38:13,250
Mixed reaction throughout.

3259
02:38:13,317 --> 02:38:17,020
You get that big match feel
here tonight at SummerSlam.

3260
02:38:17,087 --> 02:38:20,557
The fans into this match
every single step of the way.

3261
02:38:20,624 --> 02:38:22,659
And The Rock is stalking the challenger.

3262
02:38:22,726 --> 02:38:24,761
[Tazz] Brock Lesnar was 53-3 in college,

3263
02:38:24,828 --> 02:38:26,964
but I don't think that's going
to matter much right now.

3264
02:38:27,030 --> 02:38:30,067
The Rock is poised and pumped
and ready to deliver

3265
02:38:30,133 --> 02:38:31,668
probably a Rock Bottom!

3266
02:38:31,735 --> 02:38:33,737
-[Cole] Lesnar… Rock Bottom!
-[Tazz] There it is!

3267
02:38:33,804 --> 02:38:36,640
[Cole] Rock Bottom!
Rock Bottom on the champion.

3268
02:38:36,707 --> 02:38:39,643
-Into the cover! Hooks the leg!
-[Tazz] One! Two! Three!

3269
02:38:39,710 --> 02:38:41,411
[Cole] No, Lesnar kicked out.

3270
02:38:41,478 --> 02:38:44,014
Lesnar kicked out of the Rock Bottom.

3271
02:38:44,081 --> 02:38:45,682
I can't believe it.

3272
02:38:45,749 --> 02:38:50,220
[Tazz] Give it up for the toughness
of "The Next Big Thing" Brock Lesnar.

3273
02:38:50,287 --> 02:38:53,123
[Cole] And look at The Rock.
The Rock perhaps questioning himself.

3274
02:38:53,190 --> 02:38:54,925
-[Tazz] Perplexed.
-[Cole] Talking to himself.

3275
02:38:54,992 --> 02:38:56,126
"Perplexed" a great word.

3276
02:38:56,193 --> 02:38:59,830
The Rock cannot believe
Lesnar kicked out of The Rock Bottom.

3277
02:38:59,897 --> 02:39:03,000
[Tazz] Most of us here, including
you and I, can't believe Lesnar did.

3278
02:39:03,066 --> 02:39:06,036
Rock, you need to pick
the game up now, my man.

3279
02:39:06,103 --> 02:39:08,505
[Cole] I think The Rock can smell it.

3280
02:39:10,841 --> 02:39:13,143
But I think the damage
from The Rock Bottom's been done.

3281
02:39:13,210 --> 02:39:15,979
Brock Lesnar, a Rock Bottom of his own!

3282
02:39:16,046 --> 02:39:17,314
[Tazz] Brock Bottom?

3283
02:39:17,981 --> 02:39:20,183
[Cole] Driving The Rock into the mat.

3284
02:39:20,250 --> 02:39:22,586
-[Tazz] Cove him, Brock!
-[Cole] We can have a new champion!

3285
02:39:22,653 --> 02:39:24,655
-[Tazz] Here's three!
-[Cole] A new champion!

3286
02:39:24,721 --> 02:39:26,323
-[Tazz] Oh!
-[Cole] Kicked out.

3287
02:39:26,390 --> 02:39:28,458
[Tazz] Ho ho, what a match.

3288
02:39:29,660 --> 02:39:32,496
[Cole] The Rock kicked out
of a "Brock Bottom,"

3289
02:39:32,563 --> 02:39:34,264
as Tazz named it.

3290
02:39:34,331 --> 02:39:36,500
And now both men are down.

3291
02:39:36,567 --> 02:39:38,235
Who will be first to his feet?

3292
02:39:38,302 --> 02:39:41,805
Who will gain important momentum
as this match drags along?

3293
02:39:41,872 --> 02:39:45,008
[Tazz] This is where
conditioning takes over.

3294
02:39:45,075 --> 02:39:47,711
The fourth quarter,
the bottom of the ninth,

3295
02:39:47,778 --> 02:39:49,413
all those damn clichés,

3296
02:39:49,479 --> 02:39:51,381
but this is the WWE.

3297
02:39:51,448 --> 02:39:54,017
You've gotta get up to survive.

3298
02:39:54,084 --> 02:39:57,020
[Cole] Two proud men,
two national champions,

3299
02:39:57,087 --> 02:40:00,791
The Rock in college football,
Brock Lesnar in college wrestling.

3300
02:40:00,857 --> 02:40:03,860
Tonight going for
the most prestigious prize,

3301
02:40:03,927 --> 02:40:05,829
in sports entertainment today.

3302
02:40:05,896 --> 02:40:07,631
The Undisputed Title.

3303
02:40:09,099 --> 02:40:09,933
Brock Lesnar.

3304
02:40:10,000 --> 02:40:13,470
[Tazz] I'm very surprised Lesnar didn't
try to get an F-5 right there.

3305
02:40:13,537 --> 02:40:15,872
[Cole] Spinebuster! Spinebuster!

3306
02:40:16,607 --> 02:40:18,008
And here it comes!

3307
02:40:18,609 --> 02:40:21,678
[Tazz] Don't waste time, Rock.
Nail this People's Elbow, man!

3308
02:40:21,745 --> 02:40:27,451
[Cole] The most electrifying move in
sports entertainment today, or any day.

3309
02:40:28,352 --> 02:40:30,320
[Tazz] You cheated us so many times…
Lesnar's up!

3310
02:40:30,387 --> 02:40:32,689
-[Cole] The clothesline!
-[Tazz] What a hit!

3311
02:40:32,756 --> 02:40:33,991
What a hit!

3312
02:40:34,057 --> 02:40:37,661
[Cole] Brock like a LoadBacker,
almost taking The Rock out of his boots.

3313
02:40:37,728 --> 02:40:38,629
[Tazz] Here it is!

3314
02:40:38,695 --> 02:40:41,732
-[Cole] Oh no!
-[Tazz] It's F-5 time, Cole!

3315
02:40:42,332 --> 02:40:45,002
[Cole] And The Rock countered!
The Rock countered!

3316
02:40:45,068 --> 02:40:47,938
The Brahma Bull
with right hands battling back.

3317
02:40:48,005 --> 02:40:50,007
[Tazz] Lesnar blocked the Rock Bottom.

3318
02:40:51,108 --> 02:40:52,809
[Cole] Went for another Rock Bottom.

3319
02:40:52,876 --> 02:40:55,212
-[Tazz] Go, go, go!
-[Cole] Brock Lesnar, huge counter.

3320
02:40:55,278 --> 02:40:56,613
[Tazz] Oh man!

3321
02:40:56,680 --> 02:40:58,582
-F-5!
-[Cole] F-5!

3322
02:40:58,649 --> 02:41:00,817
An F-5 to The Rock!

3323
02:41:01,318 --> 02:41:03,620
-The cover. Hook of the leg.
-[crowd] One! Two! Three!

3324
02:41:03,687 --> 02:41:06,356
-[Cole] Lesnar has defeated The Rock!
-[bell ringing]

3325
02:41:06,423 --> 02:41:08,792
-[Cole] Brock Lesnar is champion!
-["Next Big Thing" playing]

3326
02:41:08,859 --> 02:41:15,866
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
your new WWE Undisputed Champion,

3327
02:41:15,932 --> 02:41:18,101
"The Next Big Thing"

3328
02:41:18,168 --> 02:41:20,504
Brock Lesnar!

3329
02:41:20,570 --> 02:41:22,572
[Cole] An F-5 from Brock Lesnar

3330
02:41:23,407 --> 02:41:25,409
has taken out The Rock.

3331
02:41:25,475 --> 02:41:32,049
Brock Lesnar has become
the youngest champion in WWE history.

3332
02:41:33,517 --> 02:41:39,222
[Tazz] Who in the hell will be able
to stop The Next Big Thing?

3333
02:41:39,289 --> 02:41:40,257
Best of luck.

3334
02:41:40,323 --> 02:41:45,028
[Cole] Brock Lesnar has climbed
the mountain in just five short months.

3335
02:41:45,095 --> 02:41:47,597
This monster's on top of the world.

3336
02:41:47,664 --> 02:41:51,068
The Next Big Thing has arrived.
