01:55:21,548 --> 01:55:23,950 [Ross] And the abdominal stretch. 2272 01:55:24,785 --> 01:55:28,355 [Tazz] Again, this will pull apart your ribs-- ribcage area, 2273 01:55:28,422 --> 01:55:30,891 your

if The Game didn't have enough leverage with the abdominal stretch. 2290 01:56:11,063 --> 01:56:13,333 When he pulled that top rope, for those who don't realize, 2291 01:56:13,433 --> 01:56:16,268 it gives a little bit more leverage, a little more torque on the maneuver. 2292 01:56:16,335 --> 01:56:18,605 [Ross] And The Game knew exactly what he was doing, 2293 01:56:18,672 --> 01:56:21,607 he broke the count before the referee's five count, 2294 01:56:21,674 --> 01:56:24,277 he broke on four, did not want to be disqualified. 2295 01:56:26,513 --> 01:56:27,746 [Ross] And now the sleeper. 2296 01:56:29,849 --> 01:56:33,219 And The Game has gone from Wilbur Snyder's abdominal stretch 2297 01:56:33,286 --> 01:56:34,955 to Pat O'Connor's sleeper. 2298 01:56:35,956 --> 01:56:39,659 Studying the greats of The Game and mastering their techniques. 2299 01:56:39,726 --> 01:56:42,394 [Tazz] Again the leverage, Triple H has all his body weight, 2300 01:56:42,462 --> 01:56:45,531 his chest, his upper body leaning at the back of the head of Jeff Hardy. 2301 01:56:45,665 --> 01:56:48,934 Can Jeff Hardy mount an offensive to get out of this-- Uh-oh. 2302 01:56:49,102 --> 01:56:53,673

02:19:35,833 but now look at-- a little outsmarting there from Jericho. 2763 02:19:35,901 --> 02:19:38,136 [Michael] And Jericho, pull it for the Walls of Jericho. 2764 02:19:38,236 --> 02:19:41,840 Again, you cannot win by submission, but if you can wear your opponent down 2765 02:19:41,906 --> 02:19:44,243 and keep him down, it makes it easier to climb the ladder. 2766 02:19:44,308 -->
