frightening about this matchup is to think 1943 01:31:09,664 --> 01:31:13,101 you're going to hand over this animal a steel chair 1944 01:31:13,168 --> 01:31:15,236 that he can legally use as a

his largest problem, 1988 01:34:56,624 --> 01:34:58,559 his toughest competition. 1989 01:34:58,625 --> 01:35:03,298 ["Rest In Peace" playing] 1990 01:35:16,477 --> 01:35:17,712 [Striker] Ooh. 1991

01:35:53,982 --> 01:35:57,451 the point where Batista went from an also-ran to a champion 2004 01:35:57,518 --> 01:35:59,853 to the-- well, person that he is today. 2005 01:36:00,621 --> 01:36:03,391

01:38:01,976 [Striker] Well, let's keep in mind, Batista can bench press 500 pounds. 2052 01:38:02,043 --> 01:38:04,579 Imagine the force of Batista swinging a chair. 2053 01:38:04,644 --> 01:38:05,880 [Jerry] Oh, I agree. 2054 01:38:05,947 --> 01:38:08,316 [Michael] Hey, imagine the force of The Undertaker swinging the chair. 2055 01:38:08,383 --> 01:38:09,916 [Striker] It's like getting hit by a truck. 2056 01:38:09,983 --> 01:38:11,753 [Michael] And much like we saw in the Tables match 2057 01:38:11,818 --> 01:38:13,788 just a few moments ago, 2058 01:38:13,855 --> 01:38:17,592 one swing of the chair here could be the turning point. 2059 01:38:17,657 --> 01:38:19,559 Oh!

trying to do here, take Triple H out of the picture, 3001 02:24:24,890 --> 02:24:26,892 they put themselves in a handicap situation 3002 02:24:26,957 --> 02:24:28,660 -against Shawn Michaels. -[Jerry] Let me tell you guys something, 3003 02:24:28,726 --> 02:24:30,862 just a little hint, I looked at one of those ladders earlier 3004 02:24:30,929 --> 02:24:33,899 before the, uh, match has started

You can forget Jim Bowie, you can forget Tim Duncan, 3012 02:24:53,518 --> 02:24:56,354 HBK is San Antonio's favorite son. 3013 02:24:58,657 --> 02:25:01,059 [Michael] Now, remember, tables, ladders, and chairs 3014 02:25:01,126 --> 02:25:03,494 can all be used as weapons in this matchup. 3015 02:25:03,562 --> 02:25:05,230 An appropriate way to end this evening. 3016 02:25:05,297 --> 02:25:07,866

02:26:04,456 --> 02:26:06,858 because of his height advantage and the object of the match 3039 02:26:06,925 --> 02:26:09,728 is to climb a ladder and take down the tag team titles. 3040 02:26:09,794
