[fireworks exploding]
[audience cheering]
[Jim] It is Sunday, May 19th, 2002 and our Judgment Day is upon us.
We are live in the Gaylord Entertainment Center,
Nashville, Tennessee, Music City USA.
Jim Ross and the King at ringside.
Our fans around the world. Our fans in New York City.
The world are checked, they're ready.
They are pumped and loaded that the superstars of RAW
and SmackDown are all here, and they're all under one roof,
and the Kings, they are all ready to raise a little hell.
♪ Latino Heat ♪
["Latino Heat" playing]
[Jerry] No better way to start it up with a little Latino Heat! [laughs]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following contest scheduled for one fall
is for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
Introducing first, from El Paso, Texas, weighing 228 pounds,
the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Eddie Guerrero.
[Jerry] Wait a minute, JR, did you see that sign in the crowd?
Mullet Heat. Mulletino Heat? What are they talking about?
[Jim] They maybe describing Eddie Guerrero's haircut,
but be that as it may.
It's the first of four championships
to be decided here tonight at Judgment Day.
Plus tonight, that big one man versus two Rattlesnake roundup
if you will, Stone Cold against Ric Flair and the Big Show.
Not to mention you see it hanging above the ring,
the two tons of steel in Hell in a Cell,
The Game and The Ayatollah of Rock and Roll.
[Jerry] What a night this is gonna be. And speaking of hair,
there's gonna be some haircutting tonight here in Nashville.
[music fades]
["One of a Kind" playing]
[audience cheering]
[fireworks crackling]
[Jim] Whoa! Man!
♪ Hey, hey ♪
♪ One of a kind ♪
♪ Hey, hey, hey♪
[Howard] The challenger from Battle Creek, Michigan,
weighing 230 pounds, Rob Van Dam.
[Jerry] The unorthodox offensive style of RVD highlighted by his honor roll feat
versus the high flying Latino, Intercontinental Champion
who has an El Grande heritage and Eddie Guerrero.
This is a great rivalry that we are seeing develop before our very eyes.
Guerrero won the Intercontinental Title last month on Backlash.
RVD simply believes he is still the uncrowned champion.
[Jerry] El Grande, huh? That was very good, JR,
you're speaking a little Spanish tonight. I like it.
Next thing you know, you'll be sitting over at the Spanish announcer table.
[Jim] Oh, no.
[Jerry] And wrestlers thrown at you left and right.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] I think both these men take chances offensively.
We have seen that in the past.
Watch for some explosive counter wrestling resulting in instant impact
between these two.
Both men have perfected their top rope offensive finisher.
The Five Star Frog Splash as RVD calls it.
Who is the better? We may find out tonight.
[Jerry] Oh, yeah. But the main thing you gotta watch for is…
Yeah, there it is. A little Latino Heat just started exploding.
Hey, wait a minute. Uh-oh.
[Jim] Guerrero and Van Dam.
Van Dam, certainly truly believes that on a leveled playing field
that he can beat Eddie Guerrero.
The shoulder tackle and a…
[Jerry] I hope he didn't think he's gonna beat him with that.
[Jim] Kind of marking his territory,
I think more than anything else was Rob Van Dam.
[Jerry] Hey, look at that.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Damn clothesline, another lateral press and another near fall.
Look how quickly Guerrero gets up, but Van Dam meeting halfway.
Nice powerslam by Van Dam and Guerrero.
[Jerry] Heavyweight Latino Heat. Cool off. Cool off. It's okay.
[audience cheering]
Don't lose focus.
He's like a firecracker, JR.
-[Jim] Remember that Van Dam has got to… -[audience chanting] RVD.
…pin or make Guerrero submit to win the Intercontinental Title.
So, the Latino Heat certainly has the established championship advantage
and as much as that he must as a champion defend
or maybe submit to relinquish the title.
[Jerry] And I wish you would go and admit that…
Oh, the Latino Heat has the superior Frog Splash.
[Jim] Well, I tell you what, I'm not gonna debate that point, who's the better.
We may get the big settled here tonight in the ring.
Both of them are amazing. And Guerrero going downstairs.
Guerrero may be the faster, the quicker of the two.
-[Jerry] He's quicker than a wolf. -[Jim] A hiccup.
[Jerry laughs] I love it when you say that.
[Jim] Slowing him down, like trying to pour smoke through a keyhole as they say.
And Van Dam catching Guerrero coming in.
[Jerry] Now, he's slowing down a bit. Now, look at this now.
[Jim] Oh, watch him take [inaudible].
Split-legged Moonsault from the lower back and the kidney area of Eddie Guerrero.
And Van Dam with another kick right to those kidneys again and lower back.
Van Dam trying to capitalize here now.
A high impact stuff work… could do in Eddie Guerrero.
And Van Dam with a leg drop.
Hooks over, hooks the leg, and Van Dam, yet again, with another near fall.
Oh, and a shot to the head by Van Dam.
[Jerry] I think Van Dam saw too many of those movies
about people kicking each other.
What are those movies called?
-[Jim] Martial arts movies? -[Jerry] Oh, okay.
[audience cheering]
[grunting]
[Jerry] Oh, look out.
[Jim] Certainly was a backbreaker by Van Dam. Now, going for the cover.
He hesitated, just a heartbeat did Van Dam.
And that may have been a reprieve for Guerrero. We'll never know.
But Van Dam, again, going right downstairs on those kidneys and lower back.
That has been the focus thus far of the challenger
for the Intercontinental Championship.
[Jerry] Come on, Latino Heat.
Find something to counter those kicks in the back.
Uh-oh. This ain't look good.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Guerrero is temporarily grounded.
Shots to the ribs now.
[scream]
Just instinctively Van Dam fight for those hands and those wrists.
-He does. Guerrero pulls away. -[Jerry] Get away.
And Guerrero can't get to the ropes. He can't do it.
And Van Dam again, dropping the elbow right across that exposed lower back.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Van Dam is determined he's gonna get this thing. No, no, no.
[Jim] Van Dam not taking no for an answer here.
Looks like [inaudible] strategy.
-[Jerry] What? -[Jim] Now look at this.
[Jerry] That looks more like my dating strategy.
[Jim] This is a submission.
Look at the strength of Van Dam. Guerrero being punished by RVD.
[Jerry] Don't give up. Don't give up.
[Jim] Looks like champ's having a good position. The shoulders are down.
And… Oh, Guerrero got his shoulders up.
I'm not sure if Van Dam gonna be expecting this.
-[Jerry] Van Dam's shoulders are down as well.
[Jim] Amazing. Amazing leg strength by Rob Van Dam.
Catapulting up the Intercontinental Champion up and down.
[Jerry] Okay. Take a bow. He looked pretty impressive.
[Jim] Van Dam again. Body on body, and got a near fall.
Van Dam using his advantage and the strength and the body weight…
Wait, wait, wait.
…trying to hit Guerrero with a high impact strike.
[Jerry] How do you say slow down in Spanish?
-[Jim] I don't really know. -Get him out now. Come on. Hey, hey.
-[Jerry] No mas. No mas. Stop. -[Jim] That would be no more.
-Hey, come on. -[Jerry] There you go.
[Jim] And Guerrero catching Van Dam walking around into that right hand.
And now Guerrero, the veteran from El Paso, Texas
has the door opened here a little bit.
[Jerry] He got to be very smart as well. Kick him.
[Jim] It's obvious that, King, [inaudible]
[Jerry] A little Latino Heat.
[Jim] The aggressive side of the…
The counter from the Intercontinental Champion…
certainly coming into the front here.
[indistinct chatter]
[Jerry] I don't think that's officially a mullet.
[audience chatter]
[Jim] It's close to being mullet worthy and they get cut around here.
[Jerry] Oh, yes.
[Jim] And Guerrero, the elbow right to the back of the head.
The Intercontinental Champion has reasserted himself here obviously.
[Jerry] Oh, that hurts right there, JR. I promise you, it does.
[Jim] Forearm right across the bridge of the nose
and to the eyes as well
for adding insult to the injury.
[Jerry] I don't know what they say. But Eddie Guerrero's, he looks fantastic.
[Jim] Eddie Guerrero always looks fantastic.
He's an amazing performer.
His father, Gory Guerrero,
one of the biggest names in the history of wrestling in Mexico.
His brother is very, very talented. His nephew, Chavo, competes on SmackDown.
[Jerry] And Hector Guerrero. -[Jim] His brother?
[Jerry] Yeah. I know that. See, I know a little wrestling history.
[Jim] You've done your homework on Eddie Guerrero.
[Jerry] Oh, yeah.
[Jim] A big homecoming for the King, he's home and he's ready.
And right now, I hope Van Dam is ready for this onslaught.
That's what he's getting.
And Guerrero kind of surprisingly, had slowed things down here,
and he's just picking Van Dam apart at least at this point
in this championship match.
Van Dam trying to… Nice flexibility.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Eddie Guerrero landing again, that flattered his back,
the lower part of his back.
That'd been the focus early in the match, and now, both men exchanging right hands.
And Guerrero seemingly getting the better of that exchange.
-[Jerry] Oh, watch it here. -[groan]
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Van Dam certainly not deviating from the game plan.
Look at that. Look at that. Great elevation there.
Rob Van Dam catapulting with that leg strength of his.
Eddie Guerrero almost to the center of the ring.
[Jerry] No. Now what? Oh!
[Jim] Oh, that was killing right into your lazy boy there.
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[Jim] Oh, look at this.
Van Dam with rolling thunder,
beginning to build significant momentum here.
The challenger hooking the near leg. And got… Oh, got a near fall.
[Jerry] Let's see that rope spot again. Watch this.
Oh, man, right in the throat.
Oh, my goodness.
[Jim] Big difference maker there.
[audience] Come on, Eddie.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. Here we go. -[Jim] And there's a roll-up.
[Jerry] That's some rolling thunder for you.
[Jim] Nice counter again. Van Dam using his legs strike.
Step over heel kick by Van Dam. I found it smart.
[Jerry] You'll never know where Van Dam's feet are coming from.
You don't know if they still attach to his legs sometimes.
[Jim] Oh, no. One went to Harvard and one went to Yale.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Jim] And unless Van Dam is wearing a…
-[Jerry] A what? A what? -[Jim] …a cup.
[Jerry laughs]
[Jerry] The look on his face, no cup. Uh-oh.
[Jim] I think his cup is…
[Jerry] Eddie's gonna take it out and see if he's wearing one.
Look out!
[Jim] Guerrero walked right out with Van Dam and Powerbombed Van Dam
almost through the mat on that exchange.
[Jerry] Nice.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Oh, wait a minute. JR, we may get to see it here. I think…
[Jim] You got to believe the first man to hit a Frog Splash wins.
[Jerry] Yeah.
[Jim] And Guerrero going up top.
I feel froggy.
[Jerry] He feels froggy, JR. Here it comes. Oh, no.
[Jim] And you could almost feel it. You could almost sense it
that Guerrero was doing too much posturing on the top rope.
[Jerry] He took too long.
[Jim] I thought he's gonna have a siesta up there or something.
Where Van Dam got a plenty of time to adjust.
[Jerry] A siesta?
-[Jim] I'm so bilingual tonight. -[Jerry] Oh, you are.
[Jim] I've said two words that I don't know how to use.
[audience chanting] RVD
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[Jim] A shock.
A beautiful shock that was by RVD. And there… Oh, Van Dam now.
-[Jerry] Oh, no. -[Jim] Van Dam looking for the Five-Star.
-[Jerry] Oh. [laughs] -[Jim] And he…
-And Van Dam misses his attempt… -[Jerry] Beautiful.
-[Jim] …just as Guerrero did moments ago.
[Jerry] Arriba. How do you say RVD in Spanish?
-[Jim] I ain't got a damn clue. -[Jerry chuckles]
-[Jerry] You're an honest man. -Three!
[Jerry] Come on, Latino Heat. You got him where you want him.
[Jim] Both men are down. And this doesn't do any favors for Van Dam.
The challenger has gotta win by pinfall or submission.
Take a walk to the promise land and win the Intercontinental Title belt.
Van Dam finding his way back up. Guerrero still is not moving much.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Come on, Eddie.
[audience chatter]
Eight.
[Jim] And referee Chad Patton's up to eight, I think, maybe nine.
[Jerry] You know, he's up. He's on his feet.
[Jim] Oh, men are up, barely, but they're up.
[audience chatter]
[Jerry] Now, what?
Looks like we're back to square one. Neither one scored with a Frog Splash.
They're both little embarrass.
They're both hot.
[Jim] Van Dam leapfrogging Guerrero. Guerrero can't make contact.
[Jerry] Oh!
[Jim] Van Dam with high crossbody and a midair collision.
And Van Dam's got a cover. One arm cover.
That was a cover nonetheless that resulted in a long two count by the challenger.
[Jerry] Mama Mia.
-That's not Spanish, is it? -[Jim] Not… I don't think so.
-Seemed [inaudible] I believe. -[Jerry] There you go.
[grunt]
[Jerry] Mamacita. That's what I meant to say.
[Jim] Nice uppercut form by Guerrero.
-[Jim] A counter. -[Jerry] Look out.
[Jim] A backslide. A backslide. Here we go. And…
-[audience cheering] -Two.
-[Jim] Another near fall. -[Jerry] Look at that!
-[Jim] This time it's Guerrero. -[Jerry] Get up!
[Jim] Guerrero with backslide. He's got… Hey, wait.
-[Jerry] He got him. He got him. -[bell ringing]
[Jim] [inaudible] damn Eddie Guerrero had his feet in the ropes.
[Jerry] He got him. Latino Heat.
[Howard] …and still WWE Intercontinental Champion,
Eddie Guerrero.
[Jerry] Latino Heat, JR.
[Jim] The Latino Heat made a nice counter with a backslide,
but he certainly made the better use,
though legally, we should add, of the ring rope.
[Jerry] I think the ropes just happened to be in the way.
[Jim] This should get there. They were there when we got here today.
[Jerry] Well, let's check it out to see who's right.
["Latino Heat" playing]
[Jerry] He got rolled by RVD. No ropes in the way.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] And Eddie happened to be a little bit closer to the ropes I guess.
-Not his fault. -[Jim] All right. Watch this.
Potentially using the ropes, it's the unfair advantage in any event,
bottom line is that Eddie Guerrero retains the Intercontinental Title.
But I gotta believe deep in the pit of Eddie's stomach, he knows when…
[Jerry] Uh-oh
Oh, brothers and sisters, every head needs to be bowed
and every eye closed because it's time for prayer.
Oh, yes.
Oh, brothers and sisters and prophet Vince,
we come to you right now
to reinsure the safety of sister Stacy Keibler.
And we come to you once again to reinsure a victory
over that no good jezebel, Trish Stratus.
-And, oh, we come once again to… -[clears throat]
[chuckles] Amen.
-And amen. -Oh, yeah.
Now, you're certain your brother, Bubba, is not too likely to show up here tonight?
Oh, brother Vince, prophet Vince, I should say, [chuckles]
I spoke to Bubba personally
and I told him he better not show up tonight
or he would have hell to pay.
I understand that. Well, good luck.
-You'll be watching, right? -I won't miss a second of it.
I maybe late for the celebration party.
I've got somebody important to go see, but I'll be watching every moment.
-Okay. -[laughs] Let's go.

[Howard] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
is for the WWE Women's Championship.
Coming down the aisle, from Toronto, Canada,
the WWE Women's Champion, Trish Stratus.
[Jerry] Oh, baby. Look at that, JR.
Did you see her on SmackDown this past week?
[Jim] Oh, I saw her. Oh, I saw plenty of her.
More than I ever dreamed I'd see.
[Jerry] Oh, it was a thing of beauty.
[Jim] What do you like most about Trish, King? Her…
-[Jerry] I like the way she… -[Jim] Her athletic ability
or pictorial development or…
[Jerry] I like the way she pours her heart out. Look at that.
[audience cheering]
-["Legs" playing] -[Jim] Oh, baby. You like the legs?
[Jerry] I love the legs. Yeah, I love the legs. Oh, my God.
[Howard] Introducing the challenger, Stacy Keibler.
-[Jerry] That leg, right. -[Jim] I'll tell you what.
Last Thursday night, Stacy Keibler had a swimsuit challenge with Torrie Wilson.
The jury came out and got Torrie Wilson out of the competition.
But Trish Stratus who had just won the WWE Women's Title…
[Jim] Oh, oh, oh.
[Jerry] …showed up on SmackDown which is her right
and entered the swimsuit competition, King, in her underwear.
[Jerry] In her underwear, JR?
Bra and panties, bra and panties and of course, look at that.
You know. I mean, Stacy Keibler, she was a little upset.
She tried to actually attack…
Moved like a beauty right there with that high-heel shoe.
[Jim] What a dangerous weapon that was.
[Jerry] Jim, speaking of dangerous weapon…
[Reverend D-Von] We're gonna testify.
[mellow organ music playing]
[Jim] What is this? Wait a minute. Nothing unexpected.
[Howard] Entering the arena, accompanied by Deacon Batista,
Reverend D-Von.
[Jim] Reverend D-Von and his Deacon Batista
from the SmackDown brand.
A family reunion of sorts. It's a…
[Jerry] What are we gonna do now these guys down here? I mean…
[Jim] These two men have been assigned by the owner of SmackDown, Mr. McMahon,
to be in his personal assistant Stacy's corner.
[Jerry] Come on, guys. Lead me not into temptation.
I can get there by myself with Trish and Stacy in the ring.
[chuckles]
[Jim] It'll be interesting to see Bubba Ray Dudley gets here.
He is going to interact with his estranged half brother, D-Von.
You know, Bubba is on RAW. D-Von is on SmackDown.
[audience chatter]
[Jerry] Oh, look at Stacy.
[firework whistles]
[Jerry] Wait a minute, incoming.
[fireworks exploding]
["Where Coming Down" playing]
[Jerry] Oh, baby.
[Howard] Introducing, Bubba Ray Dudley.
[Jim] King, there was some speculations tonight
that will Bubba would actually be in the corner of Trish
seeing his half brother D-Von is gonna be in the corner of Stacy.
And certainly, Deacon Batista,
looks like he's here for the duration of this match as well.
[Jerry] Who won't wanna be in the corner of either one of these lovable divas?
-[bell ringing] -[Jerry] Here were go.
[Jim] On a leveled playing field that Trish would have the wrestling advantage,
but this is certainly less than obvious, not a level playing field.
-Nice roundhouse kick by Stacy. -One! Two!
[Jim] And Stacy looking for the cover here in the early going.
Stacy in a new position in her life.
-She is a… -[Jerry] A new position. What?
[Jim] She's Mr. McMahon's personal assistant. Don't jump into conclusions.
[Jerry] I thought you were talking about sitting there or something.
-And look this. -[Jim] Backdrop.
Look at Stacy. Trish kicking out on that.
-Stacy is… -[Jerry] I'm looking at her.
[Jim] My goodness, you're looking all over the place, aren't you?
-Watch the hair. -[Jerry] Uh-huh.
[Jim] A clothesline by Trish coming out [inaudible].
Stacy Keibler who was so humiliated
that she lost the swimsuit competition on SmackDown last week,
she demanded this match as a [inaudible].
-[Jerry] She's got her on the leg. -[groaning]
-[Jim] And Stacy is… -Reach the rope.
[Jerry] Oh, man. Look at this. -[Jim] Oh, leg strength there.
Man, oh, man, look at this. And a counter, and a counter and more.
-She could not near fall there. -[Jerry] What a leg strength.
Did you really say that, JR?
[Jim] I was expecting a lot of leg strength. A lot of legs…
There's a nice neckbreaker by the champion.
-Going for the cover. -Two!
[Jerry] Can I see a replay of that shot? I think I just missed that.
[audience clamoring]
[Jim] Hardcore shots to the six foot…
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Jim] At least six… Oh, my goodness.
The challenger, Stacy Keibler, knocked right outside and Stacy…
[Jerry] She's throwing a temper tantrum. Hey, wait a minute, Bubba.
[Jim] Oh, Bubba tough over there, just like…
-[laughing] -[Jerry] Oh!
[Jim] That would knock the laugh off your face,
and Bubba was having some fun and changes his expression. Uh-oh.
[Jerry] Come on, Bubba
[Jim] That is a far away look in his eye.
That doesn't bode well for some folks.
[indistinct chatter]
-[Jim] What he gonna do? No. -[Jerry] Easy now. Easy now.
[indistinct chatter]
[Jim] Hey, wait a minute. Hey, wait a damn minute.
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Jim] The Deacon.
[audience clamoring]
[Jim] I can't believe the audacity of that man.
And wait just a damn minute.
That body slam, the last press, and it's [inaudible].
-[audience cheering] -[Jerry] Big idea, the Deacon.
[Jim] That's what I'm wondering.
The Deacon Batista behind the referee's back,
getting his hands on Trish Stratus.
-[Jerry] Oh, no, Trish. -Watch her throat.
[Jerry] Oh, watch it, JR.
[Jim] Stacy, that knee close to the lower back.
-Come on, Trish. -[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Jim] And now, a handful of hair by the challenger.
[referee] Two! Three! Four!
[Jim] And this match is beginning to degenerate
since Deacon Batista's brought a slam of Trish.
[Jerry] He what?
[audience chatter]
[Jerry] Watch it here. Oh, what a kick. -[Jim] The left foot.
Oh, Trish. Trish. She's got some fire in her. Oh.
And Stacy with a misfire.
-[Jerry] Boom. -[audience cheering]
-[Jim] Stacy with a misfire. -One…
-Trish Stratus [inaudible]… -[bell ringing]
…and Trish retains the title.
["Time to Rock and Roll" playing]
[Jim] And now… And now Reverend D-Von is in the ring
Stalking the Women's Champion and he knows that's not right.
[Howard] The winner of this match and still WWE Women's Champion,
Trish Stratus.
-[Jerry] How did [inaudible] do that… -[Jim] Okay. Look at this.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Jim] The brothers Dudley.
The half brothers, separated when the brand extended during the draft,
D-Von on SmackDown, Bubba on RAW.
[Jerry] You know what they say, JR, split happens.
But now what? Oh, look, my brother.
[Jim] I'm sure Bubba's a bit disappointed in D-Vons actions. He…
[Jerry] D-Von trying to welcome Bubba back into the flock,
or the fold, so to speak.
[Jim] D-Von worships the prophet McMahon and their doctrine is money.
-[Jerry] There's nothing wrong with that. -The match is over.
The match is over. I'm your man.
-[Jim] But what's wrong with Bubba. [Jerry] Look at this. They're back in…
-Hey. Watch yourself. -[Jim] What the…
-Deacon Batista. He tried to cheap shot. -Get out of here!
[Jim] And Bubba caught him red-handed and beat Deacon Batista to the punch.
And, oh, no.
Look at D-Von almost beheading his half brother, Bubba Ray.
[audience booing]
[Jerry] D-Von.
[Jim] D-Von is all about the prophecy, the prophet McMahon,
the money, the building fund.
-[Jerry] I think he's regretting. -No. No.
[Jim] Well, D-Von has some remorse. Deacon Batista has none.
[Jerry] Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
[Jim] I think D-Von is having second thoughts.
Knock it off. Get out of the ring, guys.
Come on, out of here.
[audience chatter]
[Jim] D-Von intervening and go for the cheap shot
on his own half brother.
Get the table!
[audience cheering]
-[Jerry] What? -[Jim] Get the table.
[Jerry] Did he just tell the Deacon to get…
Deacon, get the tables? Did that sound right?
[Jim] Yes, Deacon Batista is a monster in a man,
he has just got his calling.
His calling is to get the wood, and that's what the Deacon is doing.
Oh, get the hell out of here! I didn't want this!
Now, brother, you must learn!
-[Jerry] Is this a congregation? -You must learn!
[Jim] I think he has been expelled. -Sinner is wrong!
And look at D-Von preaching to his own half brother.
You understand? Oh, my brother!
I shall make you see the light!
-[Jim] Uh-oh. -Come on.
[Jerry] He's gonna make Bubba Ray see the light.
[audience chanting] Bubba.
[Jim] Well, Batista and the Reverend are setting the table up.
You gotta to know what's coming for Bubba Ray Dudley.
-[Jerry] He's about to see the light. -[Jim] A Ricola Bomb.
[Jerry] Oh, there's the light for you right there.
[Jim] Bubba [inaudible] the Deacon
and now Bubba is gonna have his war with D-Von.
-Bubba gonna tear D-Von apart. Oh, gosh. -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Jim] That steel money box
that the building fund proceeds are allegedly stored in.
Take it. Like this.
[Jim] Almost beheading Bubba again, his lights have been dimmed.
[Jerry] Oh, no. Look at this, JR. this don't look good.
[Jim] Well, this has gotta be Dudley blast… Ooh.
[mellow organ music playing]
[Jim] Bubba Ray drilled right through the wooden table at the hands of that man,
Deacon Batista and Bubba's own half brother, D-Von.
And this has not been a…
I didn't!
[Jim] A moving experience from a spiritual sense for Bubba Ray Dudley.
Don't let these guys fool you.
The Reverend and the Deacon, they're not men of the cloth.
They're men of the money.
They're men of the prophet McMahon and raising Stacy Keibler's hand
and she came up just a little short, King.
I didn't!
[Jerry] Not her legs.
Bubba!
[Jerry] Look at Bubba Ray, the only lights he's seeing right now are stars.
-Get out of here, D-Von. -[Jerry] Leave this.
Mr. McMahon, he's a bad dude but he's just a man.
-And he's not Ric Flair. -Of course he's not.
Hey, man, I bet you, I'm on top, I'm ready to go.
-Come on in. -Yeah.
You know, this thing might be over faster than you…
-Well. Good to see you, Art. -Good to see you, Vince.
Yeah.
Well, well, well.
If it isn't The Nature Boy himself, Ric Flair.
[audience cheering]
Ric, what do you say?
Hello, Vince McMahon.
Let me tell you something. You were right all along.
That Austin is a no good son of a bitch.
I don't know how I could have ever second-guessed you.
He's done everything possible to disrupt the RAW brand and my power.
But tonight, Vince…
unlike you, I'm taking Austin down.
I'm getting the reins put right through his mouth.
A bit. I'm gonna have Austin under control. [laughs]
Well, good luck, man. [laughs]
-All right. [laughing] -Eat him up.
[both scoff]
[upbeat music playing]
[Jim] And I don't know exactly what I'm gonna make of that little reunion of…
Well, in any event, ladies and gentlemen, glad to be here in Nashville,
we're sold out, the Gaylord Entertainment Center.
Big night tonight, no doubt about it.
And what an opportunity in moments for Matt and Jeff Hardy,
to do what many have dreamed of for years.
["Loaded" playing]
[audience cheering]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from Cameron, North Carolina
at a combined weight of 441 pounds,
Matt, Jeff, the Hardy Boys.
[Jim] And on behalf of Matt and Jeff and all the fans around the world,
our get well wishes to Lita who's healing nicely from her neck surgery.
But I'll tell you what, not even Lita could help the Hardy's tonight,
she's at home in North Carolina
and the Hardy's have had numerous run-ins, King,
with Brock Lesnar over the last several weeks on RAW.
[Jerry] They have not been pleasant. Well, at least not for the Hardy's.
I mean, it was just one vicious attack after another by this Brock Lesnar.
Look at this, every time you turn around,
he either had Jeff or Matt Hardy in his death like grip,
and just continued to punish these guys.
I'm surprised they're not in a hospital bed right alongside Lita.
[Jim] Lesnar, a former NCAA champion, highly trained and accomplished,
he's the human destruction machine.
Paul Heyman got Lesnar disqualified last Monday
was led to this Heyman rant.
…Judgment Day to fight The Next Big Thing, Brock Lesnar
and his tag team partner, me.
[Jim] And that was a shocking announcement to say the least,
Heyman volunteering to be Lesnar's tag team partner tonight.
[Jerry] You ever heard of biting off more than you can chew, JR?
[Howard] Introducing the team of the Next Big Thing,
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman.
[Jim] Heyman is a greasy, greedy agent
and his black heart is shape in a sign of a dollar.
[Jim] Man, I can't wait for Lesnar at some point of this match.
-[Jerry] And look at this. -[Jim] Oh, look at Jeff Hardy.
The Daredevil, Jeff Hardy and the Hardy's now showing some double team strategy,
the former four time WWE Tag Team Champions,
they gotta… And look at Heyman.
[Jerry] Paul Heyman showing his strategy.
[Jim] Heyman running like [inaudible] dog.
-[bell ringing] -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Jim] And Lesnar from behind before the Hardy's could get their hands
on the open wound on the face of humanity Heyman,
Brock Lesnar's there to save the day.
And look at Lesnar, unmitigated power
from a young man in his early 20s, 295 rock-hard pounds.
[Jerry] JR, throughout this match I don't want you to sugarcoat it,
I want you to say what you actually feel about Paul Heyman.
[Jim] The fact that Heyman's a human urinal?
[Jerry] Yuck, a human urinal, I like it. What else?
[Jim] Oh, look at this. And power, belly-to-belly overhead throw.
That was more than a suplex,
that was a throw of one large human being to another.
Heyman better be counting his blessings
that the Hardy's didn't get their hands on him moments ago.
[Jerry] Well, you know the fact that Brock Lesnar is his partner
is the only reason Heyman would volunteer to actually step in the ring.
He doesn't plan to even have to get in this match, I'm sure.
[Jim] Heyman is about as unathletic as any human being I've ever seen
and now Matt Hardy.
[Jerry] And he is an athletic supporter, isn't he?
[Jim] Not much from what I hear but that's another story.
And Heyman, oh, excuse me, Lesnar manhandling Matt Hardy.
[Jim] Just when you think that the Hardy's might gain
some a little offensive advantage on Lesnar, Lesnar just out powers…
[Jerry] Oh, my God, look at this.
[Jim] Lesnar, a two time former big 10
heavyweight champion in college at the University of Minnesota
for coach Jay Robinson, a national champion
and just drill Matt Hardy.
This is a highly trained, highly skilled assassin.
[Jerry] You're not talking about Heyman either, are you?
[Jim] Indeed I am not.
Heyman has a credibility [inaudible] accountant.
And more so elevation.
Oh. Oh, my goodness.
[Jim] Look at Lesnar. Look at the size of this young man
and just think of how good he's going to be.
[Jerry] Look at his traps, they start right under his ears. It's amazing.
[Jim] Blow right to the spine by Brock Lesnar.
I would love to see Paul Heyman
who's still hunkered down against the apron.
[Jerry] That's his best fighting position.
[Jim] All he needs is a fire hydrant, he feels right at home.
[Jerry] This guy has no neck.
[Jim] And Lesnar has no neck,
he has no conscience, maybe his biggest attribute,
psychologically, Lesnar truly believes there is no one in the WWE
that one-on-one that can beat him and thus far Lesnar has been right.
[Jerry] You know who's put that in his head, Paul Heyman.
[Jim] His agent.
[Jerry] Yeah, look out, there you go.
[Jim] Nice Tornado DDT by Matt Hardy but Matt had taken such a beating,
-he's unable to cover. -Brock? Brock?
[Jerry] Look at this, Heyman's concerned. A look of concern on Heyman's face.
Hey, Brock, why don't you tag your partner you're a little daze.
[Jim] And Jeff Hardy gets the tag, Lesnar did not look to make a tag
on that exchange but Matt did tag-in Jeff.
[Jerry] Whoa, look at this.
Another move that Hardy's hit on Lesnar.
[Jim] Nice high impact move, a high risk by the [inaudible].
Jawbreaker by Jeff Hardy.
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Jim] Good teamwork.
[Jerry] The Hardy's are gaining momentum, JR.
[Jim] Right now, you dynamite on Heyman's brother a large Keister out of the corner.
[Jerry] Look at Heyman's face. He can't believe what he's seeing.
[Jim] Oh, he's a living breathing septic tank.
[Jerry] He may have to tag in. Wouldn't that be great?
[Jim] And that's vintage Hardy offense right there.
High impact clothesline and Matt Hardy taken Lesnar.
-Oh, now, look at the Hardy's. -[Jerry] Yeah.
[Jim] It's a good thing that Heyman's wearing dark pants.
[Jerry] I believe you, partner.
[Jim] I think Heyman was… He just…
-[Jerry] Did he wet himself? -[Jim] He did more than that.
[Jerry] [laughs] Oh, he's caught, he's caught now.
Look at his head, look at his head, look at his head.
[Jim] And Matt Hardy hammering Paul Heyman, give it to him.
[Jerry] Here it is.
[Jim] The Hardy's are having their way with Heyman,
but Heyman's not the legal man, Lesnar is.
[Jerry] Lesnar's back.
[Jim] And I think Lesnar maybe back to stay.
Heyman, oh, look at this. Jeff Hardy was…
[inaudible] Wait a minute. Lesnar tripped.
Jeff Hardy had a Swanton Bomb with Heyman's name written all over it.
[Jerry] Ooh, man. Hardy's just hit heads.
[Jim] Lesnar elevating Jeff high in the mat.
The Hardy's… Skulls crack and that lesson is over.
-Look at Heyman. -Tag me. Tag me.
Look at this walking grease trap, he's begging for the tag.
[Jerry] Oh, he wants… He wants to get the pin…
Oh, look at this. He can't even get in the ring.
He's already soiled himself, you could smell it.
-I don't believe this. -Oh, my.
[Jim] This is as sickening as that human being.
["Next Big Thing" playing]
[Howard] Here are your winners, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman.
[Jerry] You think Heyman just won the undisputed title.
Look at his face.
Yeah, you really did something.
[Jim] King, this is just making me physically offend.
I hope to God he doesn't disrobe him [inaudible]
[Jerry] I don't think he's gonna tear his shirt off like Hulk Hogan.
No, he couldn't tear a shirt.
[Jim] Look at Heyman talking thrash to Jeff Hardy
is as if Heyman was just involved in a 30 minute match.
[Jerry] Look, Heyman's got the body of a God,
unfortunately it's Buddha, look at him.
Oh, Heyman and his muscles.
[Jim] Lesnar did the work.
[Jerry] Well, talk about doing the work, look at this, oh.
Poor Jeff was completely out of it that's why…
-Look at this. Listen to Heyman. [Jim] He's begging for a tag.
[Jerry] Tag me. Tag me.
[Jim] He ran like fast-paced dog earlier.
[Jerry] Now, watch, he couldn't even get in the ring
without falling down, he had to crawl across.
[Jim] Heyman was like a cow on ice.
[Jerry chuckles]
-Three! -Yes!
[Jim] But the son of a gun got the three count.
And Heyman and Lesnar, believe it or not, have won this tag team match.
[Jerry] And look, Heyman, he's exhausted.
He's worn out from all that physical activity.
Booker T.
Last Monday, you were named the newest member of the NWO by Ric Flair.
Yeah, that's right.
And judging by your attire, you've really seem to have embrace the idea,
but for the record, what are your feelings?
My feelings… Hey, man business is business.
Ric Flair, he's the boss.
He chose me, Booker T, as the newest member of the NWO.
Me, Booker T, the five-time WCW Champion,
he felt like I could get the job done.
Hey, I'm down with that.
Hey, man I'm a professional and as a professional…
Excuse me, dawg.
What's going on, baby?
What you doing over here all by your… with your fine self?
-You want an autograph or something? -Oh, I love that.
Yeah, I knew that you would. You gotta piece of paper or something?
Actually I have a very special place I'd like you to sign.
What?
[laughing]
You, you didn't say that. Tell me, you didn't just say that.
You just gave me the key to your heart, baby. Yeah.
Aw, yeah, boy. That's what I'm talking about.
Oh, my goodness.
[upbeat music playing]
[Jerry] Uh-oh. I think Booker just got a magic Johnson.
[Jim] I think you're probably right.
Ladies and… There you see some barber supplies and rightfully so.
Later tonight when Edge and Kurt Angle go one on one,
the looser will have his head shaved bald in that very barber chair.
[Jerry] Where in Nashville, who's the barber, Floyd?
Yeah, I think Floyd, Floyd Jr. Goober, I'm not real sure.
Ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, it is a Handicap Match,
one very violent man versus two.
This is a prominent intra-office conflict that has got completely out of hand.
[Ric] Clearly, there's a problem
between myself and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
I drafted Austin in all good faith
and what does he do, he stuns me.
[man 2] Wait, no. Oh, my God.
[man 3] There's going be hell to pay.
[Ric] Austin, you should have got down on your knees,
kiss my ass, and be my best friend.
[Jim] Wait a minute. Austin foot was on the rope.
[Jerry] It wasn't a bad call, Flair's screwed him.
[Stone Cold] When you screwed Stone Cold you made the single,
biggest mistake of your life.
[Ric] Now I can sympathize with what Vince McMahon went through
because as an owner trying to deal with that son of a bitch Austin
is a pain in the ass.
So, I handle it just the way I could.
[Jim] What the hell is this?
My God, the 500 pounder just chokeslam Austin all the way to hell.
[Big Show] Two years ago Austin was hurt. I was the main event in WrestleMania.
Austin's back, where am I?
I was in a restaurant picking your ugly kids up…
trying to pretend that I have a good time.
Now, you got a real live giant
and The Nature Boy, Ric Flair to deal with.
[Jim] Flair's assaulting Stone Cold with a steel chair.
Judgement day, you got me and Big Show
in a Handicap Match.
[Jim] It'll be Austin versus not one, but two men
and by God will not be pretty.
[Stone Cold] I ain't got a problem with that at all.
Ric Flair will find out that you do not screw
with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
[Jim] Flair and the Big Show will break "Stone Cold" Steve Austin by God in half.
[Stone Cold] I'm gonna whip his ass and I'm gonna whip the Big Show's ass.
And I promise you, Austin, you'll bleed, sweat and pay the price.
[Jim] Will Austin be executed? His career once and for all ended.
["Crank it up" playing]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following Handicap Match is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, representing the NWO,
weighing 500 pounds, the Big Show.
[Jim] Well, you know, King, some say that this 500 pounder
not only has the strength
but the intelligence as well of a government mule.
And there's no doubt in my mind that this 500 pounder
when his on top of his game can dominate any contest
and Ric Flair is depending on the Big Show
for more than just living up to his potential
but to ground the Rattlesnake, to skin the Rattlesnake here tonight.
[Jerry] I hope that the 500 pound Big Show doesn't have very good hearing,
I hope he didn't hear you say that he has the intelligence of a Government mule.
Uh-oh, JR, he's looking right at you.
[audience cheering]
["Dawn" playing]
[Jerry] Ooh! Here he comes, JR, Slick Ric.
[Howard] From Charlotte, North Carolina weighing 233 pounds,
the owner of RAW, Ric Flair.
[Jim] I tell you what, this man has certainly been called
the egomaniacal owner of RAW.
Now, you gotta wonder, King, is Flair just simply a bitter legend
emotionally searching for the past or what would his agenda be.
[Jerry] Mostly searching for the past, what are you talking about?
This guy is 16 time World Champion, JR.
[Jim] You can't take that away from him.
He's been very influential in this business,
he's even influence this referee Charles Robinson,
who's a miniature version as far as referees are concerned
and that should worry the Rattlesnake.
[Jerry] And he sort of like the Michael Jordan of the WWE,
I mean, he's an owner but he still a player as well.
[Jim] This could be Flair and the Big Show's
Rattlesnake round-up here tonight.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Ric Flair, he's in great shape.
-["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing] -[Jerry] Ooh. Look out.
[Howard] From Victoria, Texas, weighing 252 pounds,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Jim] The psychotic Texas Rattlesnake must fight tonight like a wounded animal…
because there's not one
but two awesome competitors waiting to skin
this Rattlesnake on this night here at Judgment Day.
Austin, a proficient hunter finds himself the hunted tonight.
Flair and Austin have yet to be on the same page,
and yet to read the same book.
And Austin has gotta fight to survive here.
[Jerry] Here he go, he's fighting, JR.
[Jim] Flair and the Big Show, they have got to operate as a team
at least that's how the match is structured,
-unless Flair being the owner of RAW… -[Jerry] Oh, look out!
-[Jim] …and influencing this official once the team…
[Jerry] Oh, my God.
[Jim] What an elevation there by Stone Cold.
[Jerry] Is that how you treat the owner of RAW?
[Jim] He got a good look at [inaudible].
And the Big Show throwing Austin off right back into Flair,
Austin going downstairs not once but three times
and back went to the face of the 500 pounder.
[Jerry] What's got into Austin?
He got up on the wrong side of the floor this morning. Somebody…
He's in a foul mood.
[Jim] Austin finally taken the Big Show down.
Oh, Flair came right off the top and got drilled in the abdomen.
Stone Cold is not a role model. I can guarantee you that.
The man most… voted most likely to assault a fellow human being
is fighting for his life here and a low blow.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] I'll tell you what, Austin gotta got his head…
[Jerry] He's going for the Figure Four right in Flair's face.
[groan]
[Jim] Austin catching Flair with the right hand.
[Jerry] No, you can't do this to Ric, not the Figure Four.
[groan]
-[Jerry] He said woo. -[Jim] Austin with a woo.
-Oh, and look out here. -[Jerry] He missed him.
[Jim] Austin avoided the contact from the 500 pounder.
And Flair and the Big Show, nice starting off auspiciously here in the early going.
And Austin says to hell with this, it's just a matter of time…
-No, no, no. Get the chair out of here. -…I got myself a partner.
[Jim] Flair's got a 500 pounder and Austin's got a steel chair.
Get the damn chair.
You sign the match, get the damn chair out of here.
-Come in here. Come and have this, ref. -Give me the chair.
-Can't have a steel chair in there. -Give me the chair, now.
[Jim] I had seen Flair in so many big match environments in my career gets…
Some of the greatest of the business.
Well, the referee unarmed Austin,
Austin reloaded another shell in the gun, got another chair.
Put the chair down now.
[Jerry] I guess Austin seriously needs an equalizer because it's two-on-one,
now the referee is not suppose to let both Flair and the Big Show
staying in there at the same time.
[Jim] Exactly, this match has turned up a little out of control and chaotic.
Now he's letting the referee know what he thinks of him as well.
[Jerry] Not one but two.
[Jim] And don't think that none of these three men
are above using or wrapping a steel chair around the others head.
[Jerry] That's what I like about him.
[Jim] Austin is…
[Jerry] He wants Flair right now, he's challenge…
You can't do that to him.
Austin showing no respect for Ric Flair the owner.
I think Austin has a lot of respect for Ric Flair the 16 time champion.
[Jerry] Now, he's gonna get his wish.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Flair and Austin. That's a tied up, JR.
[Jim] Two of the greatest names
when you're talking about this business years from now,
Flair and Austin will be right there at the top of the list
and Austin, he nailed the Big Show with a hell of a cheap shot
-with a right hand. -[Jerry] Why? Explain that to me.
Show just standing there, minding his own business.
[Jim] Austin is a very complex man who trust no one,
not one human being walk on earth does Austin totally trust
by any stretch of the imagination.
[Jerry] Once again you hit the nail right on the thumb.
Austin is a complex man.
[Jim] Now, Austin with the right hands, not so complex in his strategy there,
putting knuckle knots on the worn head of the veteran Ric Flair.
What do you want, Flair?
[Jim] Flair is in magnificent shape for a guy that's more than 50.
Absolutely amazing shape.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Austin may not have an official tag team partner
but there's a lot of folks here in Nashville.
[Jerry] Now what?
Uh-oh. It's dinner time.
He is checking his watch and I think it's time for dinner.
[Jim] Maybe a Steveweiser.
[Jerry] His favorite beer is a Heckler.
[Jim] I guess, the chairs are not allowed and neither is the aluminum beer can.
This is one full of beer.
[Jerry] Don't give that to the ref, he can't drink on the job.
[inaudible]
[audience chanting] Austin. Austin.
[Jim] You see that? Flair said he's ticked off now.
[Jerry] And here they go.
Everybody in this Gaylord Center here in Nashville, Tennessee
chanting for the Rattlesnake.
Uh-oh.
[Jim] Flair nice tackle. Nice tackle by Flair.
Nice high elevation by Stone Cold on Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
[Jerry] Show some respect for the owner.
[Jim] We got a lot of good things update you on here tonight.
I understand there's a tremendous match. Good news coming to Australia
more on that a little bit later as Flair just found his thumb in Austin's eye.
Lo and behold who would've thunk that.
[Jerry] I thought… ooh.
[audience exclaiming]
[Jim] That lightened up the Rattlesnake.
[Jerry] Listen, listen. Ooh.
[audience exclaiming]
[Jerry] Nobody does that better than Slick Ric, do they, JR?
-[Jim] No more than I ever seen. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
-[Jim] Stone Cold. -[Jerry] Now, he's in the ballgame.
[Jim] Giving Flair a taste of his own entrée.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] What, what, what?
-Not woo, but what? -[Jim] Uh-oh.
Flair must be saying, "What the hell have I got myself into?"
[Jerry] The Big Show in there.
High back body drop by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
Austin going on along here in a match signed by Ric Flair.
Imagine, mandated by Ric Flair, the owner of RAW.
[Jerry] And right now Flair having second thoughts I'm sure.
-Hey, man. One! Two! -[audience cheering]
[Jim] Austin, those right hands and Flair's Atomic Drop was block,
Austin's clotheslining Flair and take a tag to his giant of a partner,
the seven feet two 500 pound Big Show.
[Jerry] Now, the fun begins.
-Uh-huh. What's he gonna do now? -[Jim] Look at his eyes.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Like I said earlier, Ric Flair depending on the Big Show
to be a difference maker here tonight.
And the Big Show can be a difference maker.
-[Jerry] What in the hell? Uh-oh. -[Jim] Austin getting a little warm.
[inaudible] something, you never know.
[Jerry] A little workout before the big match here.
[Jim] Well, Big Show, he's under powering locked down.
And knocking Austin down with that huge hand ham like right hand,
looks like one of those honey baked ham you buy.
[Jerry] It's ham like situation.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Just look at the size of his fingers,
I mean, his fingers alone are bigger than my wrist.
[Jim] That one shot knocking Austin down. Oh, an elbow tie up.
-And look at the Big Show. -[Jerry] Ooh.
[Jim] Again knocking Austin down with a hard shot right to the solar plexus.
[Jerry] Probably knocking the breath out of Austin as well.
[Jim] Big show has got the ring cut off as you can that ain't bad strategy.
Austin back in the corner, Big Show looking to that one more time,
Austin counters with right hands, Austin's hitting the Big Show
with everything the Rattlesnake's got and the Big Show is still standing.
[Jim] Big show reverse the Rattlesnake. Caught Austin.
Man, that huge size 22 or 23 5E boot
-just caught Austin right in the face. -[Jerry] 5E?
-Did you say 5E? -[Jim] 5E.
-It looks like a small boat. -How about it now, Steve? Huh?
[Jim] And Flair now after the Big Show has beaten Austin down,
Flair more than willing and certainly ready to make the tag and does.
[grunt]
[Jim] Great right hand. Austin now being punished.
You're talking about going to the owner's woodshed,
that's kind of what Austin is gotten himself in here now.
-[Jerry] Yeah. -[Jim] Austin being punished.
And look at… Flair manipulating the referee right where he want him,
that's like a maestro playing the orchestra
and then commit to the low blow that went completely undetected by this official.
[Jerry] Flair can understand that officials can always detect things.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Well, that's a tough position for Charles Robinson to be in
since Flair signs Robinson's checks.
[Jerry laugh] Whoa.
[Jim] The heart of Steve Austin trying to fight back
instinctively the toughest SOB in the WWE has got that psychotic streak as well,
has beaten the… Flair to the punch, Flair got the thumb again to the eye.
[Jerry] [inaudible], wait a minute. Look out, Rattlesnake.
Oh, look out, Flair.
[Jim] Flair…
Caught in no man's land and slammed the parts unknown by Stone Cold.
[Jim] And now Austin, he's fixing to stomp a mud hole in Flair
then commits to walk in and dry.
The Big Show comes right back in.
And Austin, he can use a partner here
but that's now the way the match was signed by Ric Flair.
What a powerslam.
My God, that was just as dominating,
an impressive of a powerslam as you'll ever see in Austin,
is folded up like an accordion
after having the all of the air driven out of it.
-[Jerry] Well, you kind of… -[Jim] Ric got the cover, King,
this should be over here, it's a kick out.
[Jerry] We knew it was just a matter of time,
I mean, with… Well, just do the math.
Not only is it two against one but, I mean, lets face it,
the Big Show is more like three or four just himself.
Keep your mouth shut, punk.
[Jim] Flair with some disparaging words with some of the patrons here at ringside.
[Jerry] I thought he was talking to you.
[Jim] And Austin now finds himself, though it may not be a matter if
but when Austin's gonna be finished off here.
[audience chatter]
[grunt]
[Jim] What a hard shot of the chest. It's the right rib.
[grunt]
[Jim] Blood rushing to the surface of Austin's chest
and Flair now hammering again, the top to the right hand,
Austin just being… he just being ripped.
[Jerry] Slick Ric.
[Jim] I don't know exactly the meaning of that,
but in any event Flair feeling his oats right now.
[grunt]
He has a clear-cut advantage trying to teach Austin some discipline.
And if Flair can do it, he would be the first in history
to ever teach the Rattlesnake any discipline.
And now Austin, that thigh muscle, the focus of Flair.
[Jerry] You hear that Flair, Flair just instructed Big Show to work on the legs,
he wants the Rattlesnake's legs soften up
so he can lock in that patented Figure Four of his,
-you know that's what he's thinking. -[Jim] No doubt about it, King.
Look at the Big Show, that's 500 pounds, all that bodyweight right down Austin
and then driving that knee right into the canvas.
[grunt]
[Jim] And Austin is screaming in pain here at the hands of two men
who are now looking to cripple the Rattlesnake
with this onslaught on Austin's legs.
[Jerry] So far, I would say that this is working out
exactly the way Ric Flair planned it.
[Jim] The end maybe here now because the Big Show just tagged in Flair,
he's still doing more damage and Flair…
Wait a minute, Austin inside cradle, he's got the inside cradle and got a near fall.
And Austin feeding Flair up somehow, Austin on one leg now gonna try to…
He's gotta get some circulation back in that leg,
Austin's gotta buy him some time.
Flair knows that better than anybody and that's not gonna happened
if Flair has anything to say or to do about it.
[Jerry] You're right. There goes Slick Ric right back to that left leg of Austin,
here he goes.
-[Jim] Figure Four leglock. -[Jerry] Locked in.
[Jim] First it was Nature boy, Buddy Rogers
and then Flair took over from there.
Flair is the master of this move. He's been using it for three decades.
And now Austin, Austin is so far from the ropes,
there's no one for Austin to tag.
[Jerry] Let's see how long he can withstand this pain, JR.
he may have to tap out.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Pain rushing to Austin's body.
With those shoulder down, referee had to count it.
Got a near fall, Austin's now trying to turn it.
[groaning]
He's trying to turn Flair, Flair's stomach which is the counter with a Figure Four.
-Almost an Indian deathlock now on Flair. -[Jerry] He's got him.
[Jim] And look at the Big Show, Austin tied up.
Austin couldn't protect himself even though he saw the Big Show coming.
There's nothing Austin could do with his… with his and Flair's legs entangled.
[Jerry] Wait a minute.
Flair's going for the hip toss instead, he got rolled up here.
[Jim] He got the backslide. He got the backslide.
And almost being a surprising three count on that counter.
Hard shot. Flair's hands must be with callous.
[grunt]
Oh, man, big overhand right hand and Austin barely able to…
Austin fighting back, Austin got that alcohol fuel,
Austin and Flair exchanging the chops.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] I like it.
-[Jim] Whoa. Whoa. -[Jerry] What? What?
[Jim] Oh, nice tackle by Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
[Jerry] Oh, no. Ooh.
[Jim] Austin with a Spinebuster there and now Austin…
Austin is so damn hard headed, he's going right back with that Figure-Four.
[Jerry] He already tried this one time
and Big Show jumps on you and there he is again.
[Jim] Oh, my, we're talking about blocking out the sun.
Again, Austin hell bent for beating Flair with Flair's own Figure Four.
[Jerry] You said it right, that Rattlesnake is hard headed.
[Jim] And he is a damn about nothing.
[Jerry] Can you hear the Big Show, "Just tag me and I'll squash this."
He will too.
[Jim] There's the tag.
It'll be a great time for Austin to make a tag.
[Jerry] Here comes the squash. Uh-oh.
-[Jim] There's the sign. -[Jerry] No squash.
[Jim] Austin got those 13s up. One more time.
And Big Show.
-[Jerry] My God. Oh, look at this. -[Jim] And lightning fast.
He's got his thesz press by Stone Cold here in Nashville
and the elbow by Austin puts down the Big Show momentarily.
-Flair back in. -[Jerry] Oh, here's it again.
[Jim] Thesz press on Ric Flair.
How poetic is that?
And boy, that was a real close for being a severe low blow, King, if it wasn't.
[Jerry] Yeah, he got Slick Ric right in the… Oh, look at that.
[Jim] Right to his face, mouthing out an order right now.
And there's the cover and Big Show pulls Stone Cold right off of Flair.
[Jerry] Uh-oh, look who's here, JR. Look who just arrived on the scene.
[Jim] Another NWO member. That's a stunner.
Austin got the stunner.
X-Pac at ringside.
[Jerry] That stunner barely faze the Big Show.
[Jim] Oh, X-Pac looking to kick Austin, kicked the Big Show.
Austin with a stunner on X-Pac, Austin with a stunner on Flair,
Austin got the cover, will it be?
-Yes, it is. -[bell ringing]
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
[Howard] Here is your winner, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Jim] A Stone Cold dodge the bullet of The Nature Boy,
the power of the Big Show,
and the errant foot of NWO member, X-Pac.
[Jerry] I can tell you one thing,
Slick Ric is not gonna be happy about this.
[Jim] Austin limping out of here after having those legs assaulted
by Flair and the Big Show.
It was a mistake that Austin was able to capitalized on.
You talk about a resilient Rattlesnake,
Austin refusing to be skinned here tonight.
He dodges tonight's bullet,
but you gotta believe that somewhere soon, Flair's gonna reload.
[Jerry] You got that right.
[Jim] Stone Cold, I tell you what, he's dodge a lot of them in his time
but this now, this situation with Flair, also the NWO or whatever is far from over.
Now ladies gentlemen, our colleagues from SmackDown, Michael Cole and Tazz are here.
-Where? -Fellas, welcome and take it away.
Oh, hey JR, hey King.
I'll tell you what, folks, I'm here of course with Tazz who…
Well, it's a fashion statement likes to be bald.
But for people like myself, the one phrase we don't like to hear is,
"Hey are you losing your hair? Are you going bald?"
Well, tonight in Nashville at Judgment Day,
one man will lose his hair.
[Michael] It's Kurt Angle versus Edge in a hair versus hair match.
One man is going to go bald and check it out,
here's a little preview of what Edge
or Kurt Angle may look like without any hair.
[Tazz] Shine head Edge and shine head Angle,
but anyway, this is simple,
you lose this match you get dragged over to that barber chair
sitting in this arena and [imitating electric shaver].
You get your head shaved bald, you get embarrassed
in front of thousand in this building, millions and millions at home
and then you'll face the toughest critics, the locker room,
the guys laughing at your face.
[Michael] I'll tell you, Edge and Kurt Angle…
-[Tazz] There it is. -[Michael] There it is.
There's the barber chair that will be used tonight
after the hair versus hair match between Kurt Angle and Edge.
Angle and Edge former best friends now fierce competitors.
Angle and Edge meet tonight
and you know this whole rivalry all started, Tazz, over a simple t-shirt.
[Kurt] I'm about to unveil the brand new Kurt Angle T-shirt.
A t-shirt that I designed myself, so without any further ado…
["Metalingus" playing]
[Kurt] what the hell are you doing out here?
Kurt, despite all of our differences,
you and I had one hell of a match at Backlash.
I want to say congratulations and I couldn't be happier for you.
You got a brand new T-shirt, I mean, let's see it.
I wanna see the t-shirt.
You know something, Edge, I knew you'd come around.
So without any further ado, drum roll please.
Is that not me or what?
Who the hell did this?
[Edge] Kurt, that shirt definitely is you.
[Michael] Edge has stuck it to Kurt Angle again.
[mellow music playing]
[Kurt] Tonight I'm about to unveil the official real Kurt Angle T-shirt,
so who wants to buy my T-shirt?
["Metalingus" playing]
Kurt, I wanna buy a T-shirt but I think there's a better one out there.
[audience chanting] You suck.
[Kurt] That's it Edge, I've had it.
I want another match with you at Judgment Day
and this time what do we say we put something on the line
like, maybe that pretty little head of yours, it get shaved bald if I beat you.
[Edge] You know what, Kurt, I'll do it.
But you put your money where your mouth is.
If I beat you, [imitating electric shaver].
[Kurt] Now Edge, I'd be little worried if I were you
because when I'm through with you at Judgment Day,
you're gonna look like uncle freaking fester.
[Edge] I say Kurt Angle will be red, white, and bald.
[Michael] Two of the hottest young superstars in the WWE today,
Edge and Kurt Angle in a spectacular battle.
[Michael] It is Kurt Angle versus Edge, it's hair versus hair.
Who's gonna be bald?
["Medal" playing]
[Jerry] Red, white, and bald that won't fit Kurt Angle, not at all, JR.
[Jim] Oh.
[audience chanting] You suck. You suck.
[Jerry] Please, people, fellow Tennessean, don't do this to Kurt.
[fireworks exploding]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following contest scheduled for one fall
is the hair versus hair match.
Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
weighing 237 pounds, Kurt Angle.
-[Jim] Well, I'll tell you what. -[Jerry] What?
[Jim] Along with an unwanted shaved head, the loser of this match
is gonna be forced to in their utter embarrassment and humiliation,
the rare Olympic bald Angle.
Almost extinct.
[music fades]
[Jerry] That was a good one. I get it.
-["Metalingus" playing] -[audience cheering]
[Howard] From Toronto, Canada, weighing 242 pounds, Edge.
[Jerry] Come on, JR, admit it.
This guy needs a haircut really, really bad, look at his hair,
it's so frizzy you could fry chicken in it.
[Jim] Oh, I don't know about that, I do know that Edge lost some hair
last week on SmackDown, thanks to Kurt Angle
and his somewhat the shortcutting ways, no pun intended.
[Jerry] Now look at the barber, that is… That really is Floyd Jr. isn't it?
[Jim] I think it is, from the Mayberry Barber College.
I'm sure he's a talented man but it doesn't take a lot of skills
to shave somebody bald and that's what we're gonna see tonight.
We're not talking about little trim rule off the sides.
[Jerry] You mean they'll get the razor out and just really shave it?
[Jim] I understand that he's gonna have his head shaved bald.
I think that pretty well tells you what's going on.
Front face lock applied by the former Olympic champion.
[Jerry] What was Edge thinking
when he accepted Kurt Angle's challenge to this match?
I mean, if stupidity were an Olympic event then Edge would get a gold medal.
And then how is he gonna look with no hair?
Well, he'll actually look better.
[Jim] Do you know we're live tonight in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada?
[Jerry] Hello over there.
[Jim] In The Bahamas, Virgin islands, Puerto Rico,
Bermuda, Malaysia, and Brunei.
I'm sure the Sultan of Brunei is watching us as we speak.
[Jerry] Without a doubt. Hello, Sultan.
-I relate to royalty, you know. -[Jim] I'm sure you do.
Oh, countered by Kurt Angel, got countered around his leg
-by the rolling cradle of Edge. [Jerry] That was close.
[Jim] And Angle coming up saying, you can't out wrestle me,
but on that exchange, Edge did just that.
And Angle going down stairs.
No one in WWE history has ever accomplished more in the short time
that he's been in the business than Kurt Angle, nobody.
[Jerry] He's great, he's fantastic, he is a true robot.
[Jim] That covers a lot of ground
and Edge side stepping on the on-rushing, Kurt Angle.
[Jerry] You know what's great about Kurt Angle?
He's got a nice normal haircut. Ooh.
[Jim] At least for now, they're not being in the [inaudible].
-Look at Edge. -[Jerry] Hey, now, come on.
[audience chatter]
[Jerry] Got his head off that… What's the matter with Edge?
[Jim] Edge very aggressive here tonight, a lot at stake.
[Jerry] A lot of hair for Edge at least.
[Jim] A lot of pride and hair.
And these two young man certainly represent
a large part of the future, in my estimation, of the WWE.
Young and athletic.
[Jerry] You know, I just don't… I never understood
how a guy like Edge would want a hair that long and stringy,
It's like, it's gotta be a destruction while you're trying to wrestling.
See, it swinging around, it has… Uh-oh.
Well, this is not got good. Angle all tied up and nowhere to go.
-[Jerry] Oh, boy. The spear, man. -[grunts]
[Jim] Edge catching Angle with that spear in the ropes, nowhere to go. Look out.
Merry Christmas.
[Jerry] Look at that fall.
-How do you like that, hair boy? -[groan]
[Jim] A belly-to-belly overhead throw
from the ring to the floor via the top rope.
[Jerry] Lets see it again, one more time. Look at this. Ooh.
-Do you hear that impact, JR? -[Jim] I heard a splat.
[Jerry] You have to have a hip replacement after a bump like that, wouldn't you?
[Jim] Human anatomy, yeah, I'd probably have [inaudible] anatomy to be replaced.
Probably [inaudible].
Uh-oh, well, Kurt Angel has got a hell of an advantage here
to capitalized on, I'll just go for the… go for the kill here, so to speak.
[Jerry] The barber shop is open.
Oh, you can go ahead and pull it out by the roots if you have to.
[Jim] I'm always leery when you go settle things out.
Right hand by Angle again.
-Angle is teeing up. -One! Two!
[Jim] And Edge's hand… Look at Edge's hands,
they're down to the side and…
[Jerry] I think you should look at Edge's hair, get one good last look at it.
Referee Brian Hebner trying to show some authority here at Angle.
[audience chanting] Angle shuck.
[Jim] Now, wait a minute. He hates this.
[Jerry] I guess he does. And it gets him off his game now.
Spoil his concentration here if you're not careful.
[Jim] Oh, yeah, he'll… He's a very emotional competitor.
What do you say?
[Jerry] You know him tear up at a drop of a hat, he is emotional.
[Jim] He'll bawl like a baby.
[Jerry] What do you think he'll do if he lost his hair?
-[Jim] Oh, my God, King. -[Jerry] What?
[Jim] I can't imagine… oh.
[audience shouting]
[Jim] Hard Spinebuster by Angle.
Now he's gonna look for the three here and hook the leg, got a near fall.
And angle clearly establishing his superiority here.
[Jerry] I'm just trying to picture Edge with no hair.
His most striking feature would once again be his teeth.
[Jim] He does have a nice teeth.
[Jerry] Yeah, he got 32 nice teeth and that's just on the top.
He got some serious teeth going on.
Stop chocking him, get out of the rope.
-[Jim] Now Angle… -One, two, three…
[Jerry] Plus, he's got a strange shaped head, JR.
Stop chocking him…
[Jerry] Sort of like dinosaur like.
[Jim] Compared to what? A normal human?
-One, two, three… -[Jim] His head is shaped like a dinosaur.
Where the hell did you get that? Where did you get that?
[Jerry] It's compared to like your balling ball like head.
[Jim] That is gonna come back for me, sooner than later, thank you very much.
-[Jerry] Your welcome. -[Jim] For trying hurt my feelings.
But Angle is doing more than hurting Edge's feelings right now.
[audience chattering]
[Jim] Uh-oh. Well, one can get beat up
but when you've got skills you've got it, you're doing it.
-[Jerry] Right. You got to hate… -[Jim] That'll peeve a man.
And downstairs goes Angle, a DDT, Angle by DDT.
This should be it here. And Edge kick out.
Edge kicking out knowing that this is just not your everyday main event level match,
this is a match that you're gonna remember the rest of your life
because one of these two young lads
would be cue ball bald somewhere later tonight.
What do you say?
[Jim] Have you seen anybody with a freshly shaven head, JR?
It's like, you know, there's no tan there at all
and it's like Howard Finkel like, you know what I mean,
that would be horrible looking.
-[Jim] That's a stark contrast of reality. -[Jerry] Right.
There's always some little knots and bumps and stuff up there
-that you never realize was there. -[Jim] Oh, stop.
Reverse chinlock applied by Angle.
[Jerry] And I understand all the WWE Superstar, they're waiting back there,
right now, they're like lined up ready to just start the razzing as soon as,
Did I say WWF? I meant, WWE.
JR, when I said that, you got to tell me to get the F out.
[Jim] You might take it literally.
-Two! -[Jerry] I won't do that to you.
[Jim] Oh, Angle.
-[Jerry] What would you do without me, JR? -[Jim] I don't have a clue.
Uh-oh. Wait a minute. Flounder as usual.
[Jerry] Come on, squeeze, put the pressure.
[Jim] Angle is squeezing but Edge has got that little surge of energy
and adrenaline trying to fight his way back up and taken down that hair.
I wonder that's a little sign of things to come
but Edge is about to seemingly get back on track.
[Jerry] I don't know but speaking of signs,
did you see somebody out in the audience with the sign
that says Edge shaving cream. [laughs]
[Jim] A cover. The suplex, the legs up, and Angle.
[Jerry] Must be appropriate and ironic.
[Jim] It would be too ironic.
It might be a real poetic injustice for Edge
and his Edge heads around the world.
[Jerry] Edge heads?
[Jim] There's gonna… If Edge gets his head shaved tonight,
I almost guarantee you, there's gonna be…
[Jerry] Don't tell me there's gonna be like people starting like…
[Jim] Women weeping.
[Jerry] I thought you gonna say kids around the world
are gonna start shaving their heads.
Which… I don't think some of the kids around the world
that wouldn't be a bad thing.
[Jim] Angle.
[Jerry] I would think, JR, that you, of all people, from Oklahoma
being the, you know, the traditionalist that you are, that you would…
you would admire a hairstyle like… well, like Kurt Angle.
[Jim] I don't have problem with Kurt Angle's hair
-nor Edge's for that matter. -[Jerry] Oh, come on.
Secretly, deep down deep, you don't like Edge's hair.
Well, it might not be for me but… What the hell does that mean?
-It don't matter. -[Jerry] Well, admit it. Oh, look out!
[Jim] King, I'm wearing a hat. Oh, man, that was a hell of a suplex, wow.
[groan]
[Jim] Edge's borrowed some time.
[Jerry] Come on, Kurt, think about your hair.
[Jim] Edge is thinking about getting back in this match,
plus Kurt Angle has got in to a dominating position in this match.
[referee] Four!
-[Jerry] I just thought of something. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
-[Jim] What do you mean uh-oh? -[Jerry] When they shaved Edge's…
When they shave his head, they can shave his beard off too?
He need to start from scratch.
-[Jim] Angle misses a clothesline. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Jim] Edge connects with his though, drops Angle down with another clothesline.
[Jerry] Oh, Kurt.
[Jim] Angle getting outwrestled here.
-Now, impacted. -[Jerry] Oh, no.
-[Jerry] Look out. -[Jim] Look at this. Oh, boy.
[Jerry] Whew, that was close.
He almost was red, white, and bald. -[Jim] Really close.
[Jim] Could have accounted that.
[Jerry] He was just kicked out by a hair. -[Jim] Evil… Hell in a cell.
[grunt]
[Jim] That title's on the line tonight.
[Jerry] Did you get that, JR, he kicked out by a hair?
[Jim] Well, I've got it. Come back later on our drive back to Memphis.
[Jerry] A lot of times after we do a show together the next day
you just laugh when you finally get that stuff.
[Jim] Just like a good free food. -[Jerry] Look out!
Oh, what a move now, JR, that was beautiful.
-Oh. -[Jim] Oh, look at that.
Angle land on the apron but he got dropkicked right off of it.
-[Jerry] Cheap shot. -[Jim] Cheap shot right to the knee.
[audience chatter]
-[Jerry] Oh, watch out, Kurt. -[Jim] Edge!
A Plancha crossbody over the top.
I don't know how much of Kurt Angle and Edge got.
-[Jerry] What a risk taker. -[Jim] Man, that was.
That was reaching into your bag of risks.
-[Jerry] Oh, look at that. -[referee] Two!
[Jerry] Can you imagine seeing Edge bald?
I've seen better heads on a pimple, that'll be a horrible sight.
[Jim] King, have you ever lost a hair match?
[Jerry] Never. Oh, yes I did, once. I forgot about that. It was terribly.
-[Jim] It was traumatic, huh? -[Jerry] Traumatic, horrible sight.
[Jim] There are some at the back here that never grew back.
-Bless your heart. -[Jerry] What are you talking about?
[Jim] I tried pulling it out by the roots is what happened.
[Jerry] They did, they maybe what happens to Edge here tonight.
[Jim] Edge gonna take another chance here and look at Angle.
Well, Angle trying to climb the ladder.
Edge, he's had that experience before he blocked the…
that attempted throw by Angle.
And now Edge is poise on to the top.
-[Jerry] Look out, Kurt. -[Jim] And the dropkick.
-The missile dropkick. -[Jerry] No, no.
-[Jim] Hook to the leg, it's over. -[Jerry] No, it's not, no, it's not.
-[Jim] Wow, how close was that? -[Jerry] By a hair.
[Jim] By a follicle.
-One tiny follicle. -[Jerry] Oh, follicle now, huh?
[grunt]
[Jim] And that's a hell of a suplex.
-[Jerry] That'd flip your follicles there. -[Jim] Man, you're not kidding.
[audience shouting]
[Jim] That suplex is finer than frog hair, split four ways.
[Jerry] Oh, come on.
-[Jim] Well, that's a hair joke. -[Jerry] I know that.
[audience chanting]
[Jim] Again this crowd letting Kurt Angle know that he sucks,
just in case he had forgotten.
And Angle now with that waistlock over… Edge. That's a roll lock.
Edge got the locks, he got… Oh, got another near fall.
Oh, man, that was close.
[grunt]
-[Jim] Edge as… And that was… -[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Jim] That was a DDT almost the modified version
that edgecution that Edge likes to utilize,
and anyhow Kurt Angle's face and head bounced off the canvas.
[Jerry] Where is Edge going now? What's he doing?
[Jim] Edge has gone to the top.
[Jerry] This is not a wise move on the part of Edge.
-[Jim] It may not be. -[Jerry] He had an opportunity to…
possibly get a pin on Kurt.
-[Jim] And Angle. -[Jerry] Angle got him.
-[Jim] Angle Slam. -[Jerry] Wow.
[Jim] Angle exploded right off the top turnbuckle,
-the crawl, the cover. -[audience cheering]
[Jim] This could be it, this will be, and it's… Oh, it's a near fall.
[Jerry] Oh, referee said, three, you know he did.
[Jim] Referee Brian Hebner said I got a two-count.
[Jerry] A hairy situation now.
-One… -[Jerry] Come on, Kurt.
Take a look at this JR, one more time.
This is a thing of beauty flipped him like a cheese omelet, look at…
[Jim] That is a world-class athletic move by a world-class competitor, Kurt Angle.
What a straight martial arts kick, catches Angle coming in.
Oh, no, now what? Look at this. Hard DDT.
[Jerry] I don't know, I think Kurt's out.
[Jim] Angle, Angle got it, it's done.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Two, Edge is at two.
[Jim] That might have been even closer than the last near fall.
Edge can't believe it, with his hair
and his head being shaved bald hanging in the balance.
[Jerry] He's gonna look horrible bald,
I mean, he's gonna be hanging from the ugly tree then, look at that.
[Jim] Angle pulling himself up after those high-impact maneuvers
but Angle reverses it.
[grunt]
[Jerry] Oh, spear.
[Jim] Edge look… Was attempting to spear Angle, obviously.
He missed Angle, inadvertently speared the referee
and that may not be the best… Oh, my God.
You… And Edge just got… He just got thrown out of his boots.
[Jerry] What kind of suplex was that?
-[Jim] A physical… -[Jerry] Oh, ref, where's the ref.
[Jim] Violent suplex by Kurt Angle.
Coming Kurt Angle, I'm gonna go up there and count.
Well, what the hell is this? Oh, no. I was gonna…
[Jerry] Oh, I think, JR, this is what you call opportunity knocking.
[Jim] Referee can't see a thing.
-[audience cheering] -[Jim] Spear.
Edge got the spear on Angle.
His got the cover but the referee is still down.
[Jerry] Good. Thank goodness.
[Jim] And Brian Hebner, if he don't make it here,
he's certainly qualified to work in the NBA.
-[Jerry] What are you talking about? -[Jim] I don't see a thing.
[Jerry] He's doing a fine job. He's hurt.
Well, the poor kid got speared by Edge.
-[Jim] He sure did. -[Jerry] He's out of it.
-Don't do it, Edge. -[Jim] Angle back up.
And Edge looking for another spear,
Angle caught Edge right in the heart with the point of his boot.
And Angle now…
Angle was looking for the Angle Slam, didn't connect.
-Another spear. The second spear. -[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Oh, no, no. Have to fake it. The referee is back.
-[Jim] And it's… -Two! Three!
[Jim] No, it's not over. For God's sake.
-[Jerry] Oh, thank goodness. -[Jim] This is not over.
You got to look Kurt Angle. Look at him.
[Jerry] Yeah. Take one last feel of that that mop of yours.
[Jim] Well, at least the referee is somewhat coherent.
[Jerry] I'm telling you what's great about Kurt Angle,
he absolutely refuses to be beaten. Now, what?
[Jim] Angle barely able to stand. Look at that, shaking his legs off.
[Jerry] He's wobbly, he sure is wobbly but…
[Jim] Edge looking for the Edgecution.
And Angle caught Edge with Edge's spear.
[Jerry] An Olympic size spear, yeah, baby.
[Jim] And that was some hellacious impact.
[Jerry] Look at him, he's gonna go Olympic on him.
[Jim] And this ain't ballet, I'll tell you, Angle Slam.
[Jerry] He got the hair now.
[Jim] The Angle Slam, it's over now, you can count your hair…
Oh, wait.
[audience cheering]
-[Jerry] What? -[Jim] Gosh, almighty.
-[Jerry] Wait a minute. -[Jim] Edge is an extraordinary man.
[Jerry] I don't think that referee can count to three.
[Jim] Two men who refuse to lose.
[Jerry] Oh, now. Oh, look at this. The straps have come down.
[Jim] I hate when I see a grown man do that.
-[Jerry] Oh, look at that! -[Jim] There's the ankle lock.
[Jerry] I bet you hate that too, don't you, JR? Look at this.
[Jim] That's even worst.
-The enzuigiri caught Angle in the temple. -[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Jim] Angle's got a distant look on his face,
that enzuigiri caught him right in the temple.
[Jerry] Distant look on his face.
Oh, yeah, he played possum on you, JR, you don't know about that.
[Jim] Angle grab that leg. He's got the ankle lock again.
-[Jerry] Tap out. -[Jim] If Edge taps out…
-[Jerry] Tap out. -[Jim] …could he say bald?
[Jerry] Tap it. Tap it. Tap it.
He's tapped and he's bald. If he's bald, the more he taps tonight.
-[Jerry] Oh, look out. -[audience cheering]
[Jim] Into the roll lock.
-[Jerry] No! -[Jim] The roll lock. Yes!
-[bell ringing] -[audience cheering]
["Metalingus" playing] -[Jerry] He did it.
-[Howard] Here is the winner, Edge. -[Jerry] No, he cheated.
This can't be happening.
[Jim] Kurt Angle has lost to Edge.
And Kurt Angle will soon be bald.
-[Jerry] Let's reconsider. -[Jim] Oh, look at that Kurt Angle.
-[Jerry] It's a rematch. -[Jim] There's no rematch.
-[Jerry] Yes. -[Jim] It's not five more minutes.
[Jerry] Two out of three falls.
[Jim] This match is a one fall match and Angle has lost.
[Jerry] It's a redo. Do over.
-We can… -[Jim] This ain't take two.
[Jerry] Got to be going. Look at this.
[Jim] Uh-oh.
-[grunts] -[Jerry] Wait a minute.
[Jim] Edge with the Edgecution.
Biding out this onslaught by Angle but Edge has won this match.
[Jerry] Oh, no, this is not right. This is the miscarriage of justice, JR.
[Jim] And now, by the rules of this match that both men agreed to,
the loser's head will be shaved bald.
[Jerry] Wait, Kurt is helpless.
You can't do this to a man that's unconscious.
[Jim] Well, no doubt that Angle is dazed and confused more than normal,
as Edge just…
just beating Angle right towards the barber chair.
[Jerry] No, look at Floyd.
Yeah, get him away. There you go.
-[Jim] Look at Angle. -[Jerry] What the…
-[Jim] Angle made a deal here. -[Jerry] What do you mean?
[Jim] Angle now is running out of here.
Angle is supposed to sit on that barber's chair, like a man,
and get his head shaved bald.
[Jerry] Look at that barber.
[Jim] That barber ain't got a damn thing to do with it.
[Jerry] He looks incompetent.
[Jim] Whoever came at…
That's the hotel right down the street from the building here.
[Jerry] And what would be the reason to show that?
[Jim] I don't know. What's going on here?
[Jerry] Like it… Uh-oh.
Come on up out of there, baby, let's do this.
[woman] I'll be right out.
Yeah, I know that you will.
Come on now, pretty girl. Right here.
Yeah, baby. Come on up under these covers.
You're looking fine, yeah.
-Can you do me a favor, though, Book? -Whatever you want.
-Can we make it a bit more romantic? -Whatever you need.
-I'd like to do it in the dark. -Right this here. [laughs]
-Great. How about that right there? -[woman] I want you to kiss me right here.
[Book] You want me to kiss you? Wow. [kissing]
You like that?
-[woman] I want you to kiss me there. -[Book] Oh, my goodness.
I love it when you talk dirty to me, say something else.
[Goldust] I want you to leave the NWO
and come back to… [inhales deeply]
Goldust.
[light button clicks]
[audience cheering]
Nick, what the hell are you doing here?
I'm sorry for this deception. You do not return any phone calls.
-Phone calls? -Yes, phone calls.
I know you wanna get your mack down
but I planned out this big elaborate scheme, you know?
Man, you're some kind of freak. I can't even have this privacy.
-I'm done with this mother. -[audience cheering]
[Jerry] What?
-What? -[Book] Fuck!
-[door closes] -Would you stop him?
I bought this night gown for nothing.
[Jim] You're looking, ladies and gentlemen,
at two tons of unforgiving steel,
the most demonic structure in the history of WWE.
[tense music playing]
This type of match that plays a perverse hand
in establishing an athlete's legacy.
And tonight, The Game and The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla, Y2J
will step inside the Hell in the Cell.
Go back up now, ladies and gentlemen, to Michael Cole and Tazz.
Well, JR, you hit the nail on the head.
It is the most ominous structure in the history of sports entertainment
and the most dangerous, it is simply a cell.
And tonight, Chris Jericho and Triple H will go through hell inside this cell.
It is 20 feet high.
It is unforgiving steel that will rip flesh at every turn.
[Michael] There is a roof on top of this cell and, Tazz, once you're in,
it's nearly impossible to get out for Triple H and Chris Jericho.
You really are a prisoner.
[Tazz] Absolutely. Let me tell you,
I've been in some vicious matches in my career,
and some intense cage matches
but let me explain something to you now.
Hell in a Cell is not a cage, completely different animal.
The risk factor is at an all-new high, X guys like Mick Foley,
X guys like Shawn Michaels, how this match picks apart your body,
which picks apart your career, which picks apart your life.
Speaking of having your life picked apart.
Chris Jericho believed his life was picked apart at WrestleMania
when Triple H took the undisputed title from him.
For Mr. McMahon, it's about revenge on his soon-to-be X son-in-law,
Triple H inside a Hell in a Cell tonight against Chris Jericho.
Here on SmackDown, we do have some dissident employees.
And the one right at the top of the list
would be the jerk who calls himself the Game, Triple H.
Therefore Triple H, I don't want you to come anywhere near me
because I own SmackDown, and I'm damn sure own you, Triple H.
And if you don't do exactly as I tell you to do,
there's going to be hell to pay.
Are you gonna destroy me, Vince,
or is everything that comes out of your mouth complete bull?
-[Tazz] Here we go. It's go time. -[Michael] Mr. McMahon's going somewhere.
[Triple H] You think you can send six guys to this ring to kick my ass.
[Michael] I think this is what Mr. McMahon meant
when he said that there would be hell to pay.
[Triple H] You think you can send Chris Jericho
with a steel chair to split my skull?
[Michael] Jericho like a buzzard
taking advantage of the helpless and defenseless Triple H.
[Triple H] Vince, you think that you can put me
in the most brutal match ever devised?
At Judgment Day, it's you and Jericho in a match,
Hell in a Cell.
-[Tazz] Oh, my God. -[Michael] Whoa.
[Tazz] When you're playing with Vince McMahon,
you're playing with fire.
[Triple H] And you think that I'm just gonna go away?
[Michael] Wait a minute, Triple H with a sledgehammer.
Triple H has snapped.
[Tazz] Anybody who stands in the path of way to The Game is going down.
You wanna hit somebody with that sledgehammer?
Why you don't try me?
[Tazz] Don't do it, Triple H. He took the swing and Jericho.
Jericho with a steel chair flattening Triple H.
[Chris] Triple H is going to discover that I am that damn good.
[Jim] It is a perverse satanic, vile, diabolical structure.
[Jerry] There will be pain.
[Jim] Over two tons of unforgiving steel.
[Jerry] Triple H, Jericho, Hell in a Cell.
[Triple H] When that cage lowers around us,
Chris Jericho is gonna be alone,
alone with all his fears, all his insecurities.
[Chris] Triple H is going to face the real me, a ruthless, vicious,
merciless competitor that Chris Jericho really is.
[Triple H] I ended Mick Foley's career inside Hell in a Cell.
That's what I do inside that cell.
[Jericho] He's gonna see that I am that damn good enough to beat him,
that I am that damn good enough to be better than him.
[Triple H] I am gonna take Chris Jericho straight to hell.
[Jim] There will be casualties, there will be pain,
there will be suffering, there will be blood,
Triple H and Chris Jericho.
[Vince] Hell in the Cell.

[Howard] The following contest is the Hell in a Cell match.
Introducing first, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada,
weighing 247 pounds, Chris Jericho.
[Jim] Well, ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourself
for the quintessential slobber knocker, the Hell in a Cell.
There's not a match that can be devised that's any more vile,
any more vicious than what we are about to see.
King, this match certainly isn't for the weak at heart.
[Jerry] You're right that. You know it, I know it,
more importantly Jericho and The Game know it, and the fans know it.
You saw that sign, they came to see these men bleed, JR.
[Jim] Every man that's ever stepped inside this cell
wants to preserve and build their legacy.
As I said earlier, the cell has a way of playing a perverse part or two
in the establishment of a competitor's legacy.

On this night of Sunday,
May 19th in Music City, USA,
in front of the capacity crowd here in Nashville.
The lives of that man, Chris Jericho, and that man, the Game,

[Jerry] Here they are, JR,
it's gonna be locked by this metal chain inside this…
What did you call it, demonic structure, known as Hell in a Cell.
[Jim] Referee Tim White inside the ring…
the senior official for SmackDown.
SmackDown brand where you'll find Triple H and Chris Jericho among others,
and Kurt Angle, running out here like a scalded dog.
Waffling on his commitment to get his head shaved.
-[bell ringing] -[Jerry] He got cheated in the match.
[Jim] He can't free forever.
[Jerry] We got other things to worry about now.
-[Jim] Here you go. We sure do. -[Jerry] Let's do these two men.
[audience clamoring]
[Jim] Jericho and the Game.
Right on each other's face.
No intimidation, no fear from the other man,
of course, Jericho, the first ever Undisputed Champion.
And here we go.
Again, the will to win maybe replaced by the desire to survive
once this one gets really underway.
[grunting]
[Jerry] Look, JR, I think it's…
[Jim] Like The Game and everything he's got here in the early going.
Pinfall or submission to win this, no time limit here.
[Jim] You can hardly raise that high knee.
Walking down Y2J at the hands of the Cerebral Assassin.
-[grunt] -[Jerry] Oh.
[groan]
[Jim] That body drop almost…
Jericho's feet almost touched on the top of that cage.
[grunt]
[Jerry] That's a long way up there, JR.
We've seen… We've seen him fall through the top of the cage before.
-[grunt] -[referee] Come on.
[Jerry] Anything can happen in this kind of match.
[Jim] Aside that, I hope it's not replicated here tonight,
when you'll never know what's gonna happen,
I know what's happening now and the Game has that heavily take right hand
using it like a soup bowl right on the face of Chris Jericho.
-[grunt] -[Jim] Oh, oh.
Jericho tossed over the top rope.
I think the stage… this cage cell is surrounding the ring.
[Jerry] Triple H wanna waste no time.
He wants to use the cell to his advantage early.
-[grunting] -[referee] Come on…
[Jim] The Game in the steel fence.
-And he doesn't care whose flesh it rips. -Keep it inside.
[Jim] Equal opportunity has been in that category.
Poor right hand. Perhaps down to…
[Jerry] Referee Tim White telling these two guys to keep it inside,
backed into that.
Each one of these guy can't wait to run the other's head
into the side of that cell.
[Jim] Referee basically is there just to count the fall
or to ring the bell on the submission, right, correctly.
Well, you can't be disqualified in the Hell in the Cell.
Come on. Let it go, let it go. Let it go.
[Jim] And Jericho choking away at the Game.
[grunt]
[grunting]
[Jim] And all the chop, not going downstairs
from those kicks to the mid section, both the men are in great shape.
But you got to believe or at least they are. And maybe I don't know.
A couple of times, they won't be in such a great shape.
But this is all said and done.
As The Game turns the table on Jericho.
[Jerry] You know, when you're starting it, it's just a matter of time
'til it gets really ugly.
[Jim] Jericho's shoulder bouncing off the ring post.
Jericho didn't seem to mind.
-[referee] Get inside. Get inside. -[Jim] Jericho still in that steel.
[Jerry] Why does the ref keep saying get inside?
[Jim] Are they instinctively trying to…
[Jerry] This is what The Game wants to do right here.
-[audience cheering] -[Jerry] Oh, there it is.
[Jim] The cameraman [inaudible] inside this cage.
Trying to get some aggressive shots of this very unusual
and unorthodox match of the [inaudible]
[audience chatter]
-[man 5] Do it! -[grunt]
[Jim] Jericho's face bouncing off of the steel cage of the cell.
[groan]
Keep him inside of the ring, man.
[Jim] I've seen cage matches but these Hell in a Cell match
are suddenly so
They did seem to take it to the extreme.
[Jerry] There's no doubt, JR, I've been around this business a long time
and I've seen some of the most amazing sights
ever in the history of my career in this type of match,
in this Hell in the Cell match.
[grunt]
[Jim] Certainly some memorable moments involving the Undertaker.
-[Jerry] With Mick Foley. -[Jim] Shawn Michaels as well.
Yes, certainly, Mick Foley.
-[grunt] -[audience chatter]
[Jerry] And sometimes, I wonder, I've been looking at what happened to Mick Foley,
which is no doubt, without a doubt, his career was cut short
because of this Hell in a Cell match and why would…
Why would these guys take on this type of match?
[Jim] Well, King, it really is, it's the ultimate way to settle a score,
it's the ultimate way to find out who is the better man on a given night
so you know completely if you can walk away from this.
The suplex by The Game and Jericho kicking out.
[Jerry] We thank Mr. McMahon for setting this matchup.
Don't you miss him on RAW?
[Jim] I miss that boy like I had my tailbone too when I was 8.
Thank God I got it back. [inaudible] to come back.
[Jerry] And so can Mr. McMahon, hopefully.
-[Jerry] Oh, the throw. -[Jim] The Game.
High velocity there and The Game,
his head bounced off that cage as he went over the top rope.
Keep it inside, keep it inside.
[Jim] [inaudible]. The close-up.
[audience clamoring]
-[man 6] Come on! -[man 7] Run, Triple H!
[Jim] [inaudible] and trying to do a real upper hand here.
[inaudible] right. [inaudible].
Triple H's body bouncing off that steel fence.
[Jerry] You can see every…
I mean, literally every time you hit into that steel [inaudible].
Look at Jericho's shoulder already kind of…
[Jim] Jericho [inaudible].
[Jerry] I think I see blood coming from the back of Triple H.
Every time, I mean, just almost…
It's gonna rip your skin, it's gonna rip and tear your flesh
every time you bounce off of those cell.
[Jim] Well, the pieces of epidermis hanging all over these cage
as morbid as it sounds.
[Jerry] Epidermis?
-Now what? -[Jim] Oh, look at this.
Jericho, Jericho could his head taken here
and Triple H, he's… he'll get Pedigree and, oh, it's gonna be like a cerberus.
-[groan] -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Jim] A Piledriver, now Jericho… What the hell is Jericho doing here?
Jericho catapulting The Game, face first into the cell.
[Jerry] I think Jericho shoved him.
[groaning]
[Jim] Jericho hit that post earlier.
He's had several opportunities for that shoulder to be lacerated in this…
-And there's so much steel around here. -[Jerry] What the heck? Now, look at this.
[Jim] And now, Jericho pulling a ladder.
You don't need that. Come on. Put it inside.
-[Jerry] What do you need that for? -I'm warning you. Come on.
[Jim] I have no idea what he's thinking. Take another look.
Triple H face [inaudible].
Like shredded in that cell.
[Jerry] As if there's not enough metal surrounding this ring, there's…
Oh, man.
[Jim] There's too damn many inanimate objects.
-[Jerry] Did you see that? -[Jim] Right in the face of The Game.
And the body into that ladder.
[audience clamoring]
[Jim] Kick right to the face again by Jericho.
Jericho not wasting any motion anymore, right to the…
Right to the head and face of The Game.
He had to rip Triple H open.
-[Jerry] There you go. -[Jim] And look at that.
The sadistic side of Chris Jericho,
grating Triple H's face in that cage, that cell like it was coleslaw.
[Jerry] Yeah. It's a good comparison, though.
[Jim] And now, Jericho again forcing to use that ladder on The Game,
and again took full force right in the head.
Couldn't get his hands up, couldn't deflect the ladder.
It came right into the head of The Game
and referee Tim White checking on The Game.
-Here's another look. -[Jerry] Watch and listen.
[Jim] [inaudible] one hand trying to deflect it but there's no, to no avail.
He got drilled right in the face and he's getting more of that drilling.
And Jericho not drilling for oil, he's drilling for The Game's blood here.
[Jerry] What hand… One hand gonna do to stop a ladder in the…
[Jim] Not a damn thing. That's his instinct.
-[grunt] -[groan]
[Jim] And The Game again, his body thrown right at the ladder,
bounces right off the steel steps as well.
[Jerry] Like he's in a pinball machine.
[Jim] Triple H landed on a very awkward way in…
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Jim] Jericho making out more use of this ladder.
[Jerry] Do you know what I'm thinking right now, JR?
-[Jim] What's that? -[Jerry] You may have underestimated Y2J.
I mean, face it, this guy is ruthless. And now what?
[Jim] It's hard to underestimate the first ever Undisputed Champion.
[Jerry] Look, look, look, listen. Oh.
[inaudible]
-[Jim] And Jericho. -Come on, Hunter, you son of bitch!
[Jim] Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla,
he is presiding over the supreme court of gut checks.
And look at The Game fight back.
The Game being assaulted, coming back at Jericho [inaudible].
And the resourceful and resilient
and ruthless Chris Jericho.
[Jerry] JR, I think, it may be time for you to do public service announcement.
The one where you say, kids, do not try this at home.
[Jim] There's not a responsible mom and dad in the country
to let their kids live this kind of environment.
And have a backyard, garbage and all that stuff.
Look at The Game. I'll tell you what, these two guys have trained.
They have prepared for this as best a human being can.
[Jerry] How do you prepare for getting your head
rammed into a steel cell?
[audience chatter]
[inaudible]
[Jim] This is an environment where pain and suffering…
Oh, man. …is commonplace as the canvas itself.
[Jerry] Did he hit his hands? Did he break his hands?
[Jim] And The Game may have done just that,
and Jericho holding his knee as well.
Look at that chair, it's bent.
The impact of going in that ladder putting Jericho on his backside,
a hard vile straightaway shot
right to the anatomy of Chris Jericho.
[grunt]
[Jim] Jericho downstairs, and Jericho just as intense,
just as physical as a man that says, "Screw the rule."
[Jerry] Oh, look at…
And face [inaudible]. The Game, right on that ladder.
[Jerry] Did he hit that ladder with his head?
[Jim] I think… I think he did.
I think the Game's head… Well, look at the results there.
I think that answers your question, King.
The Game is a bloody mess
and Jericho is not much better off, I'll tell you.
[Jerry] He's a lot better off. He's not much better off.
Triple H is… His head looked… His face looked like hamburger meat.
Y2J got a small laceration on the shoulder.
[Jim] Jericho bringing those steps in.
And nothing the referee can do in this Hell in a Cell match.
[Jerry] [inaudible] those steps. JR, what is he doing?
[Jim] Jericho trying to navigate those steps and…
-[Jerry] Oh! -[audience cheering]
[Jim] Triple H with a drop toe-hold and Jericho's face and shoulders,
his upper body ramming right into those steps
that were intended for The Game.
[Jerry] I would try to get those things out of the ring if possible.
[Jim] Big time neckbreaker by Triple H.
[Jerry] Jericho's head right into those steps.
-[Jim] It's like bounce. -[Jerry] You know, I heard it.
[Jim] Jericho's head bounced there.
Jericho's face busted by The Game, catching Jericho.
Now, Triple H has got the steps.
[audience exclaiming]
Triple H just threw the steps right at Jericho.
And Jericho may have cracked his forearm there,
trying to ward off those steps
and Jericho who brought the gate but…
[Jerry] How can you blame that on Jericho, cracking his own forearm?
That was Triple H who threw the metal step.
-Watch the way it strikes. -[Jim] Jericho cracked his forearm.
[Jim] It seemed Jericho may have cracked his [inaudible] and a cracked forearm.
-His head [inaudible] -[Jerry] No, no, no!
[Jim] And now Jericho, his head like a javelin,
taken to the cell and to the ring post
and look at the result of the Jericho onslaught on The Game.
[Jerry] Bad laceration on Triple H's forehead there.
[Jim] And the more blood Triple H loses,
the more the advantage he's got to think anyway,
he's gonna go to Jericho back to the… It may be over before that happens.
These guys running in front us. Again, they got rips in their body.
They got a brace incident that's on their body from the cell
and the chairs and the stairs and the ladders.
-Brutal. -[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Jim] Oh, my God. Tim White.
Timmy White got hurt. Tim White is hurt.
I think Tim White may have the key.
I'm not so sure, right?
Tim White may have the key to padlock this door.
There's no referee.
And now that Jericho just…
He just dotted the eye with that chair, a vile shot to the face.
And… Wait, there's a cover, here we go.
It's gonna be… Hold on, there's no referee.
[Jerry] We have no referee there, he is out.
[Jim] Jericho looking for the cover.
[Jerry] We'll show you why… We'll show you why Tim White is out.
Check this out. Oh, man.
[Jim] Tim White's face running into those pipes.
Look at this.
[audience cheering]
-[Jim] Timmy White's got the key. -You son of a bitch!
[Jim] He's a senior referee.
[Jerry] What the hell is wrong with Jericho?
[Jim] My God, what has possessed Jericho
to further this assault on the official?
And now Tim White is bleeding.
[Jerry] And his head got busted right in the cell.
[Jim] Referees are here as well as our trainer but there's no…
Tim White's got the key, he's been kicking inside
and Jericho is tunneling Tim White to a bloody pulp. Oh.
I don't understand that… I don't understand what he's…
[Jerry] I guess it's frustration, JR.
-Oh, man. -[Jim] Oh, Tim. Oh, God.
Poor Tim White is… He is busted to the bone.
Thanks to Chris Jericho.
And Jericho… The spine on the pine from Triple H.
Simulating high-impact move, King, by "The Game" Triple H.
Well, we got a big malfunction of the judging here
with the referee down and bloody.
-And now look they're… -[Jerry] Look at this.
[Jim] Those are vault cutters.
-Get in there. -Cut it.
[Jim] These referees' gotten on the aid of Tim White.
They are trying to…
They don't have the key and Tim White has that.
There you go.
And now the chain has been cut, our athletic trainer Larry Heck
with these three officials into check on Tim White.
[Jerry] How about… Why don't you guys pick up Tim White?
How about… Why don't you check Triple H and Jericho?
Or at least officiate the match?
Hang in there, all right?
[Jim] I didn't think the pain and suffering would run this thing.
As The Game kicks a steel chair right back in the face of Chris Jericho.
-[Jerry] Man. -[Jim] Well, The Game, he…
He's losing more and more blood by the moment.
[Jerry] Now what? What is he looking for?
-[Jim] Boys, there's no telling. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
-[Jim] Oh, my God. -[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Oh, he found what he was looking for.
What do you think put that there, JR?
[Jim] Triple H has got that sledgehammer, one of his trademarks.
It's a sledgehammer right in the face of Jericho.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] And that sledgehammer
just knocked Jericho into another time zone,
another awkward state, and there, just like Jericho had The Game earlier.
-[Jerry] Hey, ref. -[Jim] There's a count
but there's nobody there to count it.
[Jerry] All these referees are over here coming to the aid of Tim White.
[Jim] Tim White is severely hurt, King.
[Jerry] Well, look at… Well, what do you think Y2J is doing?
He's hurt big time.
Here is why.
[Jim] He's scrambled brains.
-[Jerry] Oh, wait. -[Jim] Jericho carefully coming outside.
Wait a minute, he's crawling rather.
[Jerry] And he might be trying to seek some medical attention.
[Jim] Well, Jericho… Where the hell is Jericho going?
I mean, obviously, outside, duh, of that fence but… Oh.
And maybe that Jericho lured The Game to the door to do that.
[Jerry] Well, it's a good move. You got to give him credit.
[Jim] This guy is a bloody mess.
[audience shouting]
[Jim] What must their body's feel like. They've been just ravaged
from head to toe, inside out.
And now The Game is mustering all he can
to crawl with everything he's got to Chris Jericho
and Jericho with all of that low blow there.
[Jerry] Taking him inside out. They've rolled out of the cage.
Now, out of the cell. Where are they gonna go?
Oh, come on, come on. Here they are.
[Jim] God only knows what these men are going to do…
[Jerry] Don't come over here, guys.
[Jim] …to each other, we've seen them do enough here.
-[Jerry] Yeah, look at them. I told you. -[Jim] No.
Come on.
[groan]
[Jim] Jericho, now getting [inaudible]. They are both bloody messes here.
[Jerry] Oh, my God. Look out!
[Jim] And Jericho dismantling the Spanish announce table,
throwing those monitors.
[Inaudible]
[Jim] Oh, Jericho's playing the place off, Espanol style.
[audience chatter]
[referee] You can't do it, Chris, come on.
-You son of a bitch. -[inaudible]
[Jim] Jericho just called The Game a son of a bitch.
-[Jerry] Well… -[Jim] And Triple H can barely stand.
He's lost so much blood. Oh, wait a minute.
Jericho is gonna Pedigree but The Game's own maneuver.
But Triple H locks his head up, Triple H locks on the Pedigree…
DDT, a head-jarring, spine-tingling,
brain-scrambling DDT right on the table.
[Jerry] Wow. Man.
[Jim] And Jericho is bleeding even more.
[Jerry] Look at this, Jim.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] The supreme court of gut checks in progress.
[Jerry] You're not gonna sit back down, are you, JR?
-They're coming back over here. -[Jim] God Almighty.
[Jerry] See? See? Look out. Get out of the way.
[Jim] See, King, his body got blood all over. He's right in front of us.
[Jerry] Now what? Aren't you… Look at your headset, JR.
[Jerry] Oh, my gosh. Look at this, JR.
He's coming in with barbwire.
[Jim] I doubt that 2x4 has got barbed wire all over.
[Jerry] And look at…
[Jim] And Jericho's trying to run the hell out of here and I don't blame him.
[Jerry] Get out the town, Jericho, look out.
[Jim] The Game has got that 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire
and now Jericho is in the top of the cage.
He's on the top of the cell.
[Jerry] I don't know if that's a good place to be.
Right now, he's at a harm's way. Uh-oh.
[Jim] Oh, my God, The Game is taking that weapon with him, King.
The Game is taking that weapon and The Game is climbing.
He's climbing to the top of this demonic structure
where Jericho is trying to recoup and to recover.
[Jerry] Calling that a weapon is an understatement, JR,
it's a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire. Look out.
[Jim] Oh, Jericho, no.
Right in the spine,
right in the back of The Game, that barbed wire.
-[Jerry] Man. -[Jim] God Almighty.
[Jerry] How did Jericho get a hold of that?
[Jim] I've see barbed wire tear animals in the…
On a farm, the ranch, and the park,
and now you're seeing that Jericho use it on another living human being.
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
[Jim] The Game brought the weapon into the play.
God almighty, right in his back.
The Game is now being physically dissected on the top of this…
Of the cell by Y2J.
[Jerry] Very, very scary, JR.
[Jim] This is as dangerous as it gets.
[Jerry] We saw one of those sections to that cell completely give way
under the weight of the Undertaker and Mick Foley.
It could happen anytime.
-This is dangerous. This is bad. -[Jim] My, God, I…
This brings back so many bad memories.
And The Game is in trouble, taken down by Chris Jericho.
And Jericho, for the Walls of Jericho on The Game on top of the cage,
for the love of God, on top of the cage.
We got no referee but is The Game gonna give it up?
[Jerry] Look at this, there's a referee trying to climb in the top of the cage.
[Jim] Referee Mark Gil is trying to climb to the top.
The Game maybe tapping out. It might be over here.
[Jerry] You know, this is crazy.
[Jim] Is Gil gonna stop it? Is The Game gonna tap out?
Gil deserves to get a look. Look at this.
If the referee is going to punch it, he may have to stop this thing.
God Almighty.
The Game is trying to hold on but for how much longer?
And Triple H with whatever he had left.
I got to believe, he used it all there
to free himself from the Walls of Jericho.
But Jericho has backed up.
Hey.
[Jerry] And Jericho again with that barbed wire laid in 2x4.
Get up!
[Jim] And Jericho imploring The Game to get up.
Oh, downstairs, what's the game.
[Jerry] He got up, he got down.
[Jim] And the eye of Tola got rocked there with that low blow.
-[audience cheering] -[Jim] Uh-oh, wait a minute.
The Game. You don't think… There's no way. There's no…
Got Triple H backed up from the top of the steel.
That panel could have broken right there.
[Jerry] Thank God, I've never seen that match.
Thank God, I've never seen what happened to Mick Foley
when he broke through that top of that cage, that cell.
[Jim] If that cage had given way on that back body drop,
Triple H's back would have been broken.
His back would have been broken.
Career over.
[Jerry] Unnerving, unsettling, just to watch this
especially after you know what could happen.
[Jim] The [inaudible] on Jericho in the head
with a 2x4 with the barbed wire.
[Jerry] That thing stuck in his head. Did you see that?
[Jim] Jericho screaming, he's writhing in pain.
Now, ref, stop the damn match is what I… Wait, on the cover, there's a cover.
[Jerry] Did he get that?
[Jim] That's a near fall.
That's a hell of a camera angle there.
[Jerry] JR, you got to hand it to Chris Jericho.
I mean, he was just… I don't even know how to describe it.
That 2x4 covered with barbed wire was just implanted into his head
and it's stuck there.
[Jim] And Jericho is still bleeding. Wait a minute.
[Jerry] No, don't do this. Don't do this.
[Jim] Jericho trying to fight out a Pedigree, but can he…
-[Jerry] Don't do it. -[Jim] No, he can't!
A Pedigree, Jericho, there you see him face first on the top of the cell.
The Game has got the leg hooked. The shoulder…
-[bell ringing] -[Jim] My God, it's over!
["The Game" playing]
[Howard] Here is your winner, Triple H.
[Jim] Triple H wins the bloodbath.
♪ I am the game You don't wanna play me… ♪
[Jim] Chris Jericho took it to The Game as no human being ever has.
♪ I am the pain And I know you can't take me… ♪
[Jim] This match had so many ups and downs,
so many momentum changes.
so much blood lost.
But on this night in Nashville, Tennessee,
it was The Game who bluntly delivered his Pedigree
on top of this 20-foot demonic structure
of unforgiving steel.
[Jerry] I'm gonna tell you something, JR.
It's one of… I mean, I'm on a…
I'm just glad to see that it's over, these guys survived.
[Jim] The Game with Chris Jericho,
with no extraordinary pain and suffering.
[Jerry] That truly is Hell in a Cell, JR.
[Jim] That's why you don't see these matches but on rare occasions.
These two men…
certainly may never be the same after tonight.
♪ All about your debt And if you can pay it… ♪
[Jim] These two men put their careers,
their livelihoods, everything they had worked for.
[Jim] It's amazing, you literally…
You literally risk life and limb in this kind of match.
[Jerry] Jericho's face, the emotion on it tell the story.
Look at that, blood dripping down to the mat.
The canvas that these two artists has performed on got it with their blood.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] A match, by God, it could have gone either way,
but tonight, the Hell in the Cell belonged to The Game.
[Jerry] Hey.
[Jim] Kurt Angle, off this match earlier, about to get his head shaved.
What's he doing?
-What? -Just be quiet.
[Edge] Angle!
-[Jim] I can't believe Kurt Angle. -Angle, you son of a bitch.

[narrator] World Wrestling Entertainment. Get the F out.
[Jim] And now, ladies and gentlemen, you're looking live in the…
At the world. There you see it.
In Time Square, a great place to watch all you favorite WWE events.
And tonight, Maven finally got to take Torrie out on the date
they talked about last week on SmackDown.
You know, wearing that geisha outfit made me feel so covered and stifled.
Now, I can wear whatever I want or maybe nothing at all.
-Oh, I'm sorry. I am so sorry. -[laughs] No, no, I'm sorry.
I guess I didn't realize how bad that sounded.
No, you just caught me a little off guard.
And, you know, when you took a geisha outfit off,
-you looked great, free. -Thanks.
I guess you never know when I'll be out free again.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
Give me a break, JR. that looked…
That's like the Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts kind of date.
-What, I mean… -You look jealous.
What is… What is she thinking? Look at this.
I'm never recovered from that Hell in a Cell match.
And the thing about it, King, is that in all seriousness,
it's gonna be a long time before The Game and Chris Jericho recover
from Hell in a Cell as well.
You got to handle the both men, they took at each other,
neither was intimidated, they both lost a lot of blood,
we don't know the exact extent of the other injuries
that they may have sustained
but that was as physical a Hell in a Cell as we have seen.
It's a… It's… Without a doubt,
it's the most brutal match we have here in the WWE and I don't care.
And, you know, I'm not a big fan of those kind of matches.
It is… They're too brutal.
["You Look So Good To Me" playing]
[bell ringing]
[Howard] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
It's for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
Introducing first, accompanied by Rico
at a combined weight of 529 pounds,
the WWE Tag Team Champions,
Billy and Chuck.
[Jim] Well, we are scheduled to see a Tag Team Championship match here.
Billy and Chuck are the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions.
-[Jerry] Look at this ring entrance. -[Jim] And Mr. McMahon has said…
He said he will appoint a partner or Rikishi here momentarily.
And, King, not you, is it?
[Jerry] Me? No, it's not me, believe me.
["You Look Fly Today" playing]
-[Jim] I still man… -[Jerry] I still can't get…
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] And it's like… Remember when Paulina Porizkova
started dating that geeky-looking Ric Ocasek from Cars, that's when it…
That's when goofy-looking guys thought they could go out with hot chicks.
-[Jerry] Goofy-looking guys. -[Howard] Introducing the challengers.
First, weighing 350 pounds, Rikishi.
[Jim] Well, the bountiful bumps of Rikishi…
[Jerry chuckles] Bountiful bumps.
-[Jim] Or colossal cheeks if you will. -[Jerry] Yeah.
[Jim] He'll be getting a tag team partner that Mr. McMahon has assigned him.
[Jerry] And who is… You got a… You know, JR, you know everything.
-I mean, if you know people's head side… -[Jim] McMahon never confides with me.
And now, introducing, as chosen by Mr. McMahon,
Rikishi's partner.
[Jim] All right.
-[Jerry] And now… -[Jim] That's a nice uncovered pause.
[Jerry] Pregnant pause, those are called.
-[Jim] What happened to the music cue? -[Jerry] I don't know. What a minute.
[Jerry] Howard Finkel has been given some more information.
The envelope, please, Howard.
[Jim] I think if it's a paper cut we've had it.
Rico.
[Jim] What? Rico?
[Jerry] Rico?
[Jim] McMahon things this is fair? It's not funny. It's not fair, King.
I mean, Billy and Chuck's own stylist has been assigned to be Rikishi's partner?
[Jerry] No. This is good. This is… This is better and good.
This is brilliant. This is… This is great.
[Jim] It looks like he's wearing his pants with a seat cover from…
Come on, Billy. You and I. Come on, boys.
[Jerry] Hey, why are you constantly underestimating Mr. McMahon?
I mean, he's brilliant.
What? What?
[Jerry] I mean, Rikishi couldn't ask for better partner.
-[Jim] Rico is begging to start the match. -[bell ringing]
[Jerry] I mean, who knows more about the…
Well, the strategy and the weaknesses and the streaks of Billy, Chuck than Rico?
[Jim] Well, Rikishi, he's had to go by himself here, looks like. Uh-oh.
-[Jerry] And then he faints. -[Jim] Hardheaded Rikishi [inaudible]
And they walking in that super kick. Rikishi… Excuse me.
Rico wanted to start the match,
I don't believe he will just lay down and one of his [inaudible].
[Jerry] How will he do that?
The only thing he'd like to be, a WWE Tag Team Champion?
[Jim] I don't know [inaudible] he's got his stylist for the tag team champion.
[Jerry] Well, that's like being bad boy at the major league.
Yeah, would you rather be one of the players?
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Jim] Uh-oh
Rikishi holding on and now… Rikishi was looking for a tag there.
[Jerry] All those fans out there constantly badgering Rico.
[Jim] …with Rico's sideburns. They love those mutton chops.
[Jerry] It'll big tomorrow night in Memphis. Elvis like [inaudible].
[grunting]
[Jim] And Chuck… We have the WWE Tag Team Champions.
Come on, Chuck, give him back.
[grunting]
[Jerry] You know, you got Chuck and Billy that makes us rolls off your tongue
but what about Rico and Rikishi? That's… Look at this.
[Jim] Well, that is a… That is a serious strength there by Chuck,
the suplex and Rikishi able to kick-out.
Rikishi has been saddled with Billy and Chuck's stylist, Rico,
he's Rikishi's tag team partner.
Thanks to a very benevolent Mr. McMahon.
[Jerry] Here we go.
[Jim] I will suggest the end is near for the large man from the island.
And cover, and got up. A near fall there.
-[Jerry] The large man from behind. -[Jim] He is large, isn't it?
[Jerry] Well, I guess. I mean, that's an understatement,
haven't seen legs like that since the dinosaurs died out.
What do they got? Tag your partner Rico.
[Jim] Oh, Rico just gonna come in to lie down.
Come on now.
[Jim] And one of these guys… Chuck [inaudible].
One, two, three, all over.
[audience clamoring]
[Jerry] Do you like Rico's pants?
[Jim] Well, for him, I like it, it probably work fine.
-[Jim] And Rikishi. -Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Jim] Chuck almost got him.
-Belly to belly big time by Rikishi. -One.
Come on, Chucky?
[Jim] And Rikishi could not… Couldn't hook that leg.
Rikishi may have hurt himself, King.
He may have hurt himself in that belly to belly. I'm not sure.
[Jerry] Come on. Go ahead and give Mr. McMahon credit.
I mean this had to be one of the most brilliant moves of strategy
that I've ever seen.
I mean, Rico and Rikishi's partner, it just…
You know, it just works for Chuck and Billy.
-[Jim] Yeah, right. -[Jerry] Well…
[Jim] For Chuck and Billy.
Rikishi on the right hand.
Rikishi got to reach down and find something here
to get back in this thing.
He's got a chance to win the WWE Tag Team Championship
but he's got a little help from the corner from… Mutton chop,
-Well, Rico over there. -[Jerry] Mutton chop.
[Jim] Samoan drop.
Rikishi beginning to build a little bit of momentum here.
Uh-oh, don't look good.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Oh, there was the air. Can you imagine that smell?
And look at… And Billy saving Chuck from losing the Tag Team Championship.
[Jerry] Whoa. Oh, man. Oh, man.
[Jim] Another headbutt in midair. My eyes didn't fail me.
Looking for a neckbreaker, we got the headbutt.
Nice drop kick. Chuck for the drop kick.
[Jerry] Well, Rikishi need to go and tag his partner.
[Jim] Over there. Now see, this is not right. This is…
Rikishi ducked.
[Jerry] See, I told you Rico is a good partner.
[Jim] Rikishi ducked.
And Rikishi now kicking Rico, his partner for the night all the way.
[inaudible] tag team players on the line. And it's…
-[bell ringing] -[Jim] Oh, my God. I can't believe it.
[Jerry] Rico.
-[announcer] The winners of this fall… -[Jerry] Rico, your champ.
…and new WWE Tag Team Champion,
Rikishi and Rico.
[Jerry] I told you, Rikishi and Rico. They just…
Hey, don't hug the title.
[Jim] Rikishi as one-half of the WWE Tag Team Champion.
And believe it or not, his tag team partner
is the stylist of the former champion, Rico.
I'm not so sure Rico's even aware that he's one-half of the tag champions.
[Jerry] Well, come back, Rikishi, and celebrate with your partner.
Where are you going?
[Jim] Oh, look at this.
It was obvious that Rico was gonna assist his boys
in retaining their tag team titles but that already backfired.
-["You Look Fly Today" playing] -[Jerry] Uh-oh. Look at this.
[audience cheering]
It's a victory dance, JR.
[Jim] The colossal cheeks, moving it up.
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[Jim] Awesome work [inaudible].
Big Rikishi as a one-half of the tag team champion.
[Jerry laughs]
[Jim] Now, this is gonna be an interesting journey
when Rikishi and Rico as tag team partners.
[Jerry] You think Rico can dance?
Rico, get your championship.
[Jim] Rico's got some explaining to do.
Oh, he may have loosened a button.
Get the belt. Get your belt.
-[Jim] Rico. Oh, there you go. -[Jerry] Rico is a champ. [laughs]
[Jim] Edge continuing to, obviously, look for Kurt Angle.
[Jerry] Edge, just let it die. Let it rest.
[Jim] That's not the deal.
I mean, Edge… Oh, gosh.
[Jerry] Here's the deal for you right there.
[Jim] Kurt Angle loses his The Hair vs. Hair match earlier.
-He lost it fair and square too, King. -[Jerry] No. Come on. Now, what?
[Jim] Now, your… I think they're inside one of those 18-wheeler trailers.
[Jerry] What? No, they're not. -[Jim] Oh, they're not?
[Jim] Wait, that's the ramp. They're coming back out here.
[grunt]
Come on. Put your ass up here.
[Jerry] They're going up to the staging area.
We're gonna cut somebody's hair. Oh, yeah. Oh, we're gonna cut somebody's hair.
-[Jim] Uh-oh. That ain't right. -[Jerry] What?
Give me the microphone. Give me the microphone.
-[Jerry] Give him the microphone. -[Jim] What do you need a microphone for?
-You people wanna see a hair cut? -[Jerry] Yes, yes.
-I'll show you a freaking haircut. -[Jerry] We wanna see it.
Barber, get your ass out here.
-[Jerry] Get out here, Floyd. -[Jim] Uh-oh.
And this is just absolutely hideous.
Angle loses the match fair and square to Edge earlier.
Angle's must get his head shaved bald and it looks to me…
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Jim] And Edge is the one who's gonna get his head shaved here.
[Jerry] All right. Barber, do your best or worst.
It doesn't matter.
[Jim] Look at Edge fighting with everything he's got.
Will somebody come out here and restore a little bit of order here.
-[Jerry] This is Olympic judgment. -[Jim] Uh-oh.
What a minute. Oh, wait. Edge just got the sleeper.
Now, wait a minute, sleeper on Angle.
Edge just got a sleeper on Angle.
[Jerry] Why would somebody come out here and get a hold of Edge's hair, cut it off?
[Jim] Oh, Kurt, nighty night.
[Jerry] Look at him choking Kurt now with that sleeper.
[Jim] Sweet dreams. Look at Angle's look on his face.
[Jerry] He's got no oxygen to his brain, JR. Fight, fight, fight, Kurt. Fight!
[Jim] Angle with one last chance to fight, to fight out of it but…
[Jerry] I can't remember the last time
I actually saw somebody put to sleep with a sleeper hold.
-Come on, Kurt. -[Jim] Oh, Kurt's nighty night.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Reviving. What are you doing?
-[Jim] And Edge just got those shears. -[Jerry] He's not a barber.
[audience cheering]
No, wait.
-[Jim] Okay. A little bit. Oh, man. -[Jerry] What? I can't see anything.
[Jim] You look over here.
[inaudible] next barber.
[Jerry] Hey, wait a minute. No.
[audience shouting]
-[Jim] Edge is saying goodbye to Kurt. Oh. -[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Jim] Oh, goodness gracious.
-That's… -[Jerry] Kurt, wake up, please.
[Jim] You won an Olympic game.
A few years later, you'll get your head shaved.
[Jerry] This is awful. This is humiliating.
[Jim] This is hideous.
Kurt Angle, when he awakes from this faint,
and somewhat perceive us…
[Jerry] Nothing wrong with [inaudible] there.
They're singing goodbye to Kurt's hair.
Look at Floyd the barber, he's need to have his barber licensed revoked.
Look. Now, it's taking two of them.
[woman 2] Get up!
[Jerry] Oh, Kurt.
[Jim] It's not a real stylist but it's certainly effective.
Kurt Angle looks like he's got inducted in the military.
[Jerry] Not funny, JR, it looks terrible.
[audience cheering]
Now [inaudible]…
-[Jerry] Edge… -[Jim] Edge will do this thing up right.
[Jerry] We got Edge, shaving to… Oh, come on.
-[Jim] And hair conditioner, folks. -[Jerry] Hey, wait a minute.
He don't know how to use that. I'm sure. [Jerry screams]
-[woman 3] Shave! -[Jim] Wow.
-[Jerry] What is he doing? -[Jim] That's a straight razor.
[Jerry] He can take an ear off there.
-[Jim] Darn right. -[Jerry] Now, what?
[Jim] That's not mousse either [inaudible].
-[Jerry] You don't need mousse anymore. -[Jim] I don't think so.
[audience clamoring]
-[Jerry] Oh, God. -You son of a bitch.
[Jim] Kurt Angle's head has been shaved bald.
Hey, Angle, you're so sick of everyone chanting you suck.
Well, from now on, they're gonna chant "you're bald".
-["Medal" playing] -Hit the music.
[Jim] Oh, Kurt.
[Jerry] Please I'm begging you now, don't do it. Don't say it.
[sobbing]
-[Jim] Oh, Kurt, can you imagine? -[audience] You're bald!
[Jerry] Look at this. Look. Look at the mirror.
-[Jim] I think he's gonna cry. -[audience] You're bald!
[Jim] Look, ladies and gentlemen,
see the rear Olympic bald eagle, bald Angle.
You're bald!
-[Jerry] This is not funny, people. -[Jim] [inaudible]
He sucks and he's bald.
King, that is… That has got to be as humiliating
and embarrassing moment in the history of Kurt Angle,
amateur or pro.
Are you moved by this of Kurt?
The only thing worse is if they force him to wear a cowboy hat.
-That would be… -This is disgusting.
This is awful, JR. That's ridiculous.
[Jim] Let's check something that is not ridiculous.
We are still waiting the WWE Championship matchup.
The Undertaker challenging Hulkamania,
and this one started in controversy at Backlash.
[Jim] The Undertaker is the number one contender
for the undisputed title and will meet the winner
of tonight's Triple H, Hogan match.
This one is gonna be over, Triple H is…
Oh, my God. The Undertaker just dropped the referee.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Jim] And Hogan says, "Hell no, I don't want your help."
-Hogan got the leg drop. It's over. -[bell ringing]
-[Jerry] Oh, my God. -[Jim] Hogan's got it.
[Jim] Hollywood Hulk Hogan has climbed again to the top of the mountain.
[Undertaker] Everybody's caught up in this Hulk Hogan comeback story.
[Jim] Hulkamania is alive and well.
[Jerry] One of the greatest comeback story in the history of sports entertainment.
[Jim] Hollywood Hulk Hogan is the man.
And, yes, Hogan, you're welcome.
[Undertaker] At Judgment Day, I'll become judge, jury,
and executioner of Hulkamania.
What you have to realize
is that I can do much more than take your title.
What I can do, Hogan, is take that living breathing icon
and beat him and batter him and leave him a bloody shell of a man.
Blah, blah, blah.
You know something, Taker, are you actually gonna do something
or you're just gonna stand up there like a bitch that you are.
[audience cheering]
Well, honestly, Taker, you don't want nothing down here,
so how about I bring the bike up there to you, brother?
-[Jerry] Don't do it. Don't do it. -[Jim] Oh, my God!
Hogan has just rammed over the Undertaker's priced motorcycle,
that 18-Wheeler.
Undertaker has gone ballistic. He's gone berserk here.
Oh, my God.
Undertaker [inaudible] the tire-iron. Undertaker is now tying Hogan.
[Undertaker] Let's go for a ride, Hogan.
-[Jim] My God. -[Jerry] Wait a minute.
[Jim] He's dragging another human being.
Undertaker, he's dragging Hogan right across the concrete.
[Jerry] Oh, my God. Welcome to Judgment Day.

[Jerry] Well, JR, you said they're on a collision course
and that unstoppable force that's about to move
that the mythly immovable object.
And then what's gonna happen?
[Jim] There's no doubt the Red Devil has got two things on his mind, King.
The Undertaker wants to win the WWE undisputed title
for the very first time in his illustrious career.
And number two, you got to believe that the Undertaker wants
to physically destroy Hulkamania tonight.
[Hulk Hogan TNA music playing]
[audience cheering]
[Howard] From Hollywood, California, weighing 275 pounds,
the Undisputed WWE Champion,
Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
[Jim] Ironically enough, last month at Backlash,
Hollywood Hulk Hogan defeated The Game
to become the Undisputed Champion.
Thanks to the outside interference of the Undertaker.
[Jerry] And it's all come down to this.
[Jim] It has been over a decade since the Undertaker and Hulk Hogan
have faced each other for the richest prize in our business.
November 27th, 1991,
the Undertaker pinned Hogan
to capture the Men WWE Championship.
[Jerry] And you know, the Undertaker has got to be thinking right now
about reliving that moment again tonight.
[Jim] Hogan would regained the title days later.
And here we go. Hey, wait a minute.
The Undertaker using that red and yellow weight belt
of Hollywood Hogan to whip Hogan like an animal.
[audience clamoring]
[Jim] Hogan is being whipped like a government mule
and we have seen the Undertaker did this before.
[Jerry] Oh, he's bunching the spine of that belt buckle and he's…
I guarantee, he's planning to rip Hulk Hogan.
-Oh, man. -Get your ass up.
[Jim] You're talking about beating the hide of the Undisputed Champion.
[Jerry] Well, you saw the Undertaker do that…
That new shirt of his, it says it all.
Red Devil Big Evil and this guy… Uh-oh.
[Jim] Now, Hogan back on this match, not officially underway.
And Hogan right back in the face of the challenger
for the WWE Undisputed Title. A right hand by Hogan.
-Oh, no. -[audience cheering]
[Jim] Oh, Hogan now retrieving that weightlifting belt.
And Hogan now taking some hide
from the Red Devil, the Undertaker.
[Jerry] Taking some directions from the Hulkamaniacs here in this arena.
-[Jim] Hogan dragged like a… -[groaning]
[Jim] As a barely-breathing carcass

And here we go in this matchup.
The WWE Undisputed Championship is underway.
[grunting]
[Jim] Well, I'll tell you what. This is…
I don't know if there'll be a switching hand to [inaudible].
Both guys came to fight it looks to me like.
[Jerry] Well, it's gonna be a slugfest, JR.
[Jim] Undertaker coming in at… For him a light 305.
[Jerry] The Undertaker is not gonna let somebody like Hulk Hogan
run over his prized motorcycle.
And Hulk Hogan is not gonna be dragged around the back of an arena
at the back of a motorcycle,
and then come out here trying to wrestle each other.
These guys wanna hurt each other.
[Jim] A high back body drop, the six-ten-and-a-half,
305-pounder elevated by Hollywood Hulk Hogan,
and Hogan scores in a clothesline, outside goes the Undertaker.
-[Jerry] There you go. -[audience cheering]
[Jim] It appeal the Hulkamaniacs and the momentum now,
the emotion of the Hulk Hogan charismatic
and returned to the WWE.
[Jerry] Boy, and you can feel the electricity of this crowd.
They are the Hulkamaniacs.
[Jim] Hogan blocking the right hand, scores in one of his own,
another right hand by Hogan but the Undertaker, reverse elbow.
Smash-mouth is what you're gonna see here,
nobody is gonna be looking for a fireman's carry
or an overhand wristlock.
This is about fighting and imposing your own will and who will…
-Who can sustain… -[Jerry] Oh, look out here.
Ooh.
[Jim] The Undertaker's knees, just wrapped around that… Those steps.
-[referee] One… -[Jim] And the steps are still there,
I'm not sure about the condition of the Undertaker's legs.
-[audience chatter] -[referee] Three…
-Four… -Go get him, brother!
[Jim] Hogan scores again with a right hand.
Both men on the outside.
Certainly again, the Undertaker has got to pin Hogan
or make him submit to win the WWE Undisputed Title.
[Jerry] The referee was close to the ten-count there
and Hogan went back in to break the count
and getting right back on the Undertaker again.
[Jim] Hogan might not like it
but he can retain his championship with a count out.
-[Jerry] Oh, he's got a point to prove. -[Jim] Oh, I know that.
[inaudible] like him but he could retain.
Reverse elbow by the Undertaker.
[audience chanting]
[Jim] Both these men are hall of fame now, no doubt about that.
And both of them have earned and have etched their legacy
in this business that would be forever.
But on this night, the Undertaker in Nashville, Tennessee
wants to regain his top spot at the top of the mountain.
And for the first time ever in his career become the undisputed champion.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Uh-oh.
Well, Hogan is not too old to enroll in some old-school
according to the Undertaker apparently.
Oh, Hogan separated those legs and you saw the results.
[Jerry] That's how you take the Undertaker back to school right there.
[Jim] He stayed after school on that one.
Hogan, those right hands finding their mark.
Hogan here, on that second rope, front face locking the Undertaker.
Wait a minute. Hogan, on that second turnbuckle,
the Undertaker trying to fight…
Trying to turn his body it would seem
but Hogan keeps that big right arm around the Undertaker's head and neck.
[Jerry] With a python. Oh, man.
[Jim] And a superplex, a big-time suplex,
and Hogan going for the cover, Hogan with the leg hook
and the Undertaker, left shoulder off the canvass.
And Hogan showing no fear to the awesome Red Devil
known as the Undertaker,
the man that has come to take Hulk Hogan's undisputed title.
The Undertaker, the man that has come to destroy Hulkamania.
[audience chatter]
[Jim] And is the nostalgic ride going to end tonight?
[Jerry] There's been a lot of men
who tried to destroy Hulkamania throughout the years.
-[Jim] Undertaker going downstairs. -[Jerry] But he's still alive and well.
[Jim] Almost a chop block on those veteran wheels
on the undisputed champion.
[Jerry] Look at the audience, JR, you see those young men
with those Hulkamania T-shirts on?
They're everywhere all throughout this arena.
Hulkamania is alive and well.
[audience shouting]
[Jim] And the… Well, the fans are more well than the champion right now
as the Undertaker, really trying to take the legs out of the veteran,
the legendary Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
[audience shouting]
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Not a bad plan by the Undertaker, like him or not.
[referee] Three…
[Jim] Undertaker, trying to destroy the knees
therefore destroying the vertical base of Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
Hogan, not known as a mat wrestler,
he's a vertical guy, stands up in your face,
smash-mouth style, looking for a boot, looking for a big leg drop,
and you can't leg drop anybody from that position, King.
[Jerry] No, you can't.
Believe me, Hulk Hogan realizes that. He knows he's gonna have to get up.
He knows he's gonna have to get the upper hand somehow here,
but that's easier said than done
when you're in the ring with the Undertaker.
[Jim] When the Undertaker came out, we said he had two things on his mind.
One was to win the Undisputed WWE Championship
for the first time.
The other was to physically destroy Hulkamania.
And the way you physically destroy Hulkamania
is you physically destroy Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] The Undertaker has that knee tweaked, the ankle…
And Hogan fighting out,
three or four, five shots now right to the face of the Undertaker,
in his neck and his face.
There you see, Hogan using those legs like he would a big right-hand
but the champion visibly hurting, he's up.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] He's still got some… A hell of a fighting heart.
Undertaker and Hogan exchanging the right hands.
Which of these big bulls will fall first?
And the Undertaker… Oh, Undertaker.
Hulk Hogan walking in with a uppercut right hand
that caught Hogan right on the jaw.
Oh, man. A sledge.
That double sledge by Hogan taking the Undertaker down.
Hogan with the boot.
Hogan with a boot and looking for the leg and, although, it was countered.
Undertaker blocked the leg drop, has got a half crab on Hogan.
Undertaker blocked the leg drop.
Undertaker is gonna pressure him now, keep him down.
He's got the half crab on Hogan, a submission maneuver.
Will the Undertaker make the legendary Hollywood Hulk Hogan submit
and become the undisputed champion?
Hogan, being pulled back to the center of the ring.
Hogan doesn't wanna quit.
[Jerry] He doesn't want to but he may be forced to.
He could… I mean, Hulkamania could have to be tapped out right here.
[Jim] As Hogan never submitted into a match.
We may be about to see a first. Hogan finally in the bottom rope.
The referee now is calling for the break.
Undertaker tasting his own blood and in some perverse way,
-I think he likes it. -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Jim] Hogan pulls himself up. He's barely able to stand.
The ring ropes are holding Hogan up
and the Undertaker scintillating body shots,
want to break apart Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
[audience chatter]
[Jerry] Hogan certainly in a bad way right now.
He's gonna need some support from these Hulkamaniacs.
[Jim] Hogan reversed the Irish whip
and popped the reversed elbow for his trouble.
[Jerry] Look out.
[Jim] Hogan went south, the Undertaker went over the top,
he's right on the top rope,
the second that that's happened in about the last three or four minutes.
[Jerry] Hogan trying to Hulk up here.
[Jim] Hogan's got to reach down. He's got to reach down and get some.
Hogan sending the Undertaker for the ride.
Oh, my… Oh, my God.
The Undertaker couldn't get him all the way up.
He got the way he could.
Hogan tried to block it, it's… Oh, it's not over.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Hogan blocking the full effect of the chokeslam.
[Jerry] Oh, he blocked most of it and look at him.
[Jim] And Hogan with another adrenaline rush.
It's called hulking up.
And Hogan with that one knee,
now looking up to the eyes of his challenger.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Undertaker is giving Hogan a whole lot of shots,
a lot of punishment but Hogan is trying to come back.
[Jerry] Uh-oh. You know what this means, Undertaker.
[Jim] Hogan scores the right hand.
Undertaker sent out for the ride.
A big boot, a big boot by Hulk Hogan.
Hollywood Hulk Hogan looking for the leg drop.
[Jerry] He got it.
[Jim] Hogan with the leg drop on the Undertaker.
It's got to be over here. Here we… Oh, my God.
The Undertaker kicked out of Hogan's patented leg drop.
[Jerry] Hogan can't believe it.
-[Jim] And Hogan is… -[Jerry] Look at the look on his face.
[Jim] …is mildly shocked, I don't blame him.
But Hogan…
[Jerry] These audience can't believe it either but… Oh, man.
[Jim] Hogan lowered his head.
Hogan lowered his head and made a very uncharacteristic mistake.
The DDT, the arm over, will it be…
And Hulk Hogan got his shoulder up, right shoulder coming up
and Hogan's got to reach down again.
[Jerry] Yeah. Now, what you gonna do, Hogan?
-Hey, wait a minute. -[Jim] What the hell is this about?
Mr. McMahon has got no business out here.
The owner of SmackDown.
Mr. McMahon, I don't like the looks of this at all.
And the referee trying to disarm the Undertaker.
And Hogan kicked the chair right back in the Undertaker's face.
[Jim] The leg drop. That would be it there.
There's the cover, one, two, three, four…
[Jerry] Look at Mr. McMahon. [Jim] McMahon distracting the referee.
[Jerry] Oh, wait a minute. Don't do this.
[Jim] And Hogan bringing the SmackDown owner in the ring.
[Jerry] No. I don't think you should do this. Don't do it.
[Jim] Hogan bringing Mr. McMahon in the ring
-and punched McMahon with the right hand. -[Jerry] No!
[Jim] A leg drop, Hogan with the leg drop on Mr. McMahon.
[Jerry] You're the referee.
[Jim] The Undertaker's got the chair. Right at the back of Hogan's head.
The Undertaker getting rid of the evidence.
The smoking gun has been destroyed.
[audience cheering]
[Jim] Oh, look at this, chokeslam.
The chair shot to the back of the head,
the chokeslam by the Undertaker, and the Undertaker beats Hogan.
The Undertaker beats Hogan.
[Howard] The winner of this fall
and new Undisputed WWE Champion,
the Undertaker.
[Jim] That Machiavellian spirit of Mr. McMahon is very pleased,
McMahon is pleased that Hollywood Hulk Hogan
has lost the WWE Undisputed Title
to the big nasty Red Devil, the Undertaker.
The Undertaker with that chair shot.
Referee Earl Hebner detained by Vince McMahon.
And now the Undertaker telling the referee
to put the Undisputed Championship around my waist,
the Hogan name will fall.
The Undertaker name will be added to that piece of gold.
[Jerry] I can't believe this. Mr. McMahon, he's still smiling.
[Jim] Hogan never quit on this match and hadn't won,
and Mr. McMahon, well, his outside interference having a…
Playing a crucial role.
And the Undertaker becoming once again the man.
[Jerry] Boy, the Undertaker savoring,
milking every precious moment of this victory.
And he had the referee put that championship belt on
and then he had the referee raised his hand.
Let's see this chair shot again, JR.
[Jim] The referee… Oh, the referee's back was turned,
with an open back, to the back of the head of Hogan.
Hogan's eyes almost unconscious there, and then the chokeslam.
And look at this, look at Mr. McMahon's face.
That is Satan himself.
[Jerry] Is Hulkamania dead?
[Jim] The Undertaker thinks it's been severely damaged here tonight.
What the hell is this about?
[Jerry] Undertaker looked over and said it's not over yet.
This is for my motorcycle.
[Jim] What the hell is this?
[Jim] He said this… He said this is for his motorcycle.
[Jerry] Oh, I got you.
Well, he's got a point there, JR.
[Jim] That's 40 grand worth of damage done to the Undertaker's motorcycle by Hogan
but Hogan's heart has been ripped out.
That's irreparable damage, thanks to the Undertaker and Mr. McMahon.
And now the Undertaker wants some… He wants even more.
He's taking Hogan's heart and soul.
[Jerry] Yeah, but he needs 40 grand worth now, JR.
[Jim] This is not right, King.
The Undertaker driving that chair
right into the throat of Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
I hope the Undertaker is happy. I hope Mr. McMahon is happy.
Hogan got that chair driven right up into his throat,
right up into his larynx.
[Jerry] Look out. Look out.
[Jim] Don't you think enough is enough. Damn it.
[Jerry] Forty thousand dollars is a lot of money, JR, that motorcycle is.
[Jim] Hulkamania may not be dead but by God, he's on life support.
Thanks to the Undertaker.
That was a heinous attack, but tonight at Judgment Day,
the Undertaker once again has become the man.
The Undertaker is the WWE Undisputed Champion
and there's not a damn thing anybody can do about it.
