[narrator] An all-consuming hatred…
[Vince] DX is a disease.
That's a $30 million aircraft!
[Ross] And now the world headquarters of the WWE.
They will pay. We'll make sure they pay.
[narrator] …can infect a man's mind…
[Jerry] I think DX has broken Mr. McMahon.
[yelling]
[narrator] …steal his sanity…
[Vince] Me and my son, Shane, are gonna be back in the ring with you two,
but this time, the Big Show will be joining us.
[Ross] The biggest athlete in the world, seven-feet, 500 pounds.
[narrator] …and drive him…
[Vince] And this time…
[narrator] …to hell.
[Vince] …it'll be hell in a cell.
[Shane] You do not ever mess with the McMahons.
[Ross] I think we've just heard DX's death sentence.
[foreboding music playing]
[narrator] Animosity this intense…
[Edge] I want John Cena out of my life!
I'm sick of him, I want him gone!
[Ross] And Edge is-- man, he's unstable.
[narrator] …breeds devastation.
[Edge] Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
[narrator] Now, one man will enter the madness…
[Ross] Cena has one last chance to win the WWE title.
[narrator] …with everything to lose…
[Ross] John Cena's gotta win or John Cena's going to SmackDown.
[narrator] …and face the odds…
[Edge] A match you've never had, a match I've never lost.
[narrator] …head on.
I ain't going nowhere!
[Jerry] Judging from what we just saw from Cena,
he knows how to handle himself
when it comes to Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
[narrator] Tonight…
[Vince] It's not over 'til I say it's over!
[Triple H] Thank you, reminding us just who the hell we are.
The Showstopper, The King of Kings,
we are D-Generation X!
[narrator] Who will find redemption,
and who will remain unforgiven?

[Ross] We welcome you, ladies and gentlemen,
live in Toronto, Canada
for the ninth annual extravaganza known as Unforgiven
brought to you by Raw.
I'm Jim Ross alongside Jerry "the King" Lawler,
and King, four titles on the line tonight, but this is an electrifying atmosphere.
Oh, you're right, you could say home field advantage may play a big part
into some big matches here, tonight at Unforgiven.
Some combustible elements gonna get it on here, DX, the McMahons,
oh, it's gonna big.
And now let's take you over to our Spanish colleagues,
Carlos Cabrera, Hugo Savinovich.
[speaking Spanish]
["Paparazzi" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
[Lilián] This contest is scheduled for one fall,
and it is for the Intercontinental Championship.
Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California,
weighing in at 219 pounds,
he is the Intercontinental Champion,
Johnny Nitro!
[Ross] Johnny Nitro won the Intercontinental Championship
on June 25th,
and certainly not without the help of that witchy woman, Melina.
[Jerry] Wait a minute, witchy woman?
You gotta wish you had a swing like that in your backyard, J.R.
And check out, probably the-- well, in my opinion,
yes, the best entrance in the WWE right now.
Oh, this was exceptionally good tonight.
Melina is a little on the cheeky side.
Whoa.
[Ross] Johnny Nitro, a former Tag Team Champion,
this is only the second one-on-one meeting
between Johnny Nitro and his number one contender,
and I still am somewhat appalled by that lack of respect and the
that alleged symbolism
of the Intercontinental belt, hanging, dangling, whatever.
The Intercontinental title has changed twice in Toronto,
Edge in '99, RVD in 2002.
["No More Words" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Lilián] Introducing the challenger,
from Cameron, North Carolina,
weighing in a 225 pounds,
Jeff Hardy!
-[Jerry] Well, I thought-- -[explosions]
-Oh, man. -[Ross] You were saying?
[Jerry] I was saying,
I thought that Johnny Nitro's entrance was unusual, but, uh,
well, Jeff Hardy may have just topped him there.
[Ross] Jeff Hardy became the youngest Intercontinental Champion
in WWE history in 2001,
and then had a somewhat mysterious and
previously undiscussed three-year absence from the WWE.
["No More Words" continues playing]
[Ross] I'm glad to see Jeff back in any event,
the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship.
[Jerry] You're right, Jeff Hardy came back, made quite an impact
and wow, here he is already,
he maybe the new Intercontinental Champion before the night's over.
[Ross] It took Hardy two weeks to become the number one contender
for the Intercontinental title.
And certainly, in the last time these two men met,
the Melina factor was significant.
[crowd chanting] Hardy! Hardy!
[Jerry] Well, J.R., This crowd is alive tonight.
[Ross] We're sold out here tonight in the Air Canada Centre.
The home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the NBA Toronto Raptors.
And a collar-and-elbow tie up starts it out, here.
16,105 have sold out the ACC several weeks ago.
Come on, man. That's cheating.
[Doan] If you could just wait.
[Ross] Referee Jack Doan,
the pride of Danville, Illinois, assigned to this contest.
[Jerry] Oh, my goodness.
[Ross] Danville, Illinois, shocked you?
[Jerry chuckles] No.
[Ross] Or would it be Melina's cleavage?
[Jerry] It's Melina's cleavage.
I find my eyes in there, I'm not sure. [chuckles]
[Ross] Nitro, a very talented competitor,
and sometimes we lose the sight of his amazing athleticism
because of the voluptuous young lady on the outside, quite the--
[crowd chanting] Nitro sucks!
Nitro sucks!
[Jerry] "Nitro sucks" chant?
-[chanting continues] -[Ross] You're right on the money again.
-[Jerry chuckles] Whoa. -[Ross] You're all over it tonight.
[Jerry] I know it.
We know Johnny Nitro and Melina, they--
a lot of people say they claim to run in the A-list celebrity circle,
but I've seen them in Hollywood.
[Ross] Nice shoulder block takedown by Jeff Hardy.
What are you doing in Hollywood?
And Hardy trying to counter-- look at--
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Ross] Nitro landing on his feet,
good athleticism there.
[Melina] Go, baby!
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] And an arm drag takedown.
Johnny "Don't call me Monday" Nitro just got arm dragged by Jeff Hardy,
and there's another sight of your favorite witch.
[Jerry] Why do you call her that, J.R.?
[Ross] Because she's evil.
[Jerry] Oh, no way evil could look that good.
[Ross] No good is Melina.
Another arm drag takedown.
Nice deep arm drag takedown,
shades of Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat with that arm drag.
[Jerry] Just because Melina likes to hang out with guys
that have gold around their waist.
[Ross] Hanging? He doesn't wear it around his waist, King.
-[Ross] It hangs from-- -[Jerry] Okay, hanging from his waist.
[Ross] Yes.
[Jerry] That's-- maybe she suggested--
maybe Melina suggested the wearing of the gold like that.
[Ross] I'm sure she wears the pants in the family more often than not.
-[Jerry] What? -[Ross] It sure seemed that way.
Jeff Hardy, avoided contact.
Another arm drag, Jeff Hardy is certainly…
a high flyer that takes a lot of chances
has gone with the more mat wrestling here,
at least in the early going.
[Melina] That's right!
One fall to a finish for the Intercontinental title.
[Jerry] I guess, I was beginning to wonder after last week
if Johnny Nitro and Melina were gonna be able to get all that pain off of them
that they were paying courtesy of Jeff Hardy last week.
-Oh, look at this. -[Ross] And Hardy with the Oklahoma roll,
and Hardy got a near-fall,
and again, Nitro falling prey to that deep arm drag takedown by Jeff Hardy,
who right now is out-quicking Johnny Nitro.
[Jerry] Melina's getting a little frustrated.
-[Melina] That's right! -She looks good when she's frustrated. Oh.
[Ross] Nice, sharp European uppercut forearm by Nitro, measures again,
the number one contender for the Intercontinental title.
[Melina shrieking]
[Jerry] You hear that? [laughs]
[Ross] Melina shrieking, dogs are barking all over Ontario.
-[Jerry] Why'd you say that? Uh-oh. -[Ross] And with a backslide.
-[Jerry] Wait a minute. Look out. -[Ross] With a backslide, it-- oh.
[crowd booing]
[Jerry] That would make Melina really shriek.
-Toronto! -[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Hardy, both feet
with that double leg drop down to the lower abdomen.
Kind of south of the navel, one would think.
[Jerry] Melina may have to kiss it to make it better, here.
-[Ross] Nitro wants a timeout. -[Jerry] I don't blame him.
[Ross] Or just call a technical foul on Jeff Hardy, if he wanted to.
[Jerry] It's timeout.
[Ross] And Nitro, of course, massage is in order.
[Ross] Here she is. Nitro cannot lose the title if he gets counted out.
He can lose the match but not the Intercontinental title.
-[Doan] One! Inside. -What?
You shut up.
[crowd chatters]
[Jerry] Nitro taking offense to some of these fans' remarks here at ringside.
[crowd chanting] Hardy! Hardy! Hardy! Hardy!
[Ross] That's a Hardy chant, well intended.
A boisterous Hardy chant momentarily.
Nice short Irish Whip take, uh, to the turnbuckle.
-Get him out of there. -[Ross] That sure is very effective.
-Get him out of what? -You want him over there?
-[Doan] Get him out of here -[Jerry] Jeff Hardy with that hair,
I think he's trying to challenge Carlito for the strangest hair here in the WWE.
[Ross] The coveted hair award could be in jeopardy.
[Jerry] Uh-oh, nobody there, watch your back.
[Ross] And a low dropkick to the sternum by Jeff Hardy.
-And Hardy now in that mount position. -[crowd] One, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight…
[Ross speaks indistinctly] starts if you will, King,
at the Intercontinental Champion.
[Jerry] Oh, Nitro flat on his rear.
Oh, my goodness, what a move!
Oh, it hurt Melina.
[Ross] Melina maybe having heart palpitations.
-No, wait, she doesn't have a heart. -[Jerry] Now, come on.
[Ross] But Jeff Hardy looking for the Swanton,
and Nitro had the wherewithal to avoid that predicament.
[Jerry] Well, Nitro is not the Intercontinental Champion
for nothing, J.R.
Oh, watch out, look out, watch it, here he comes.
[Ross] Oh, Jeff Hardy with that low slide, that baseball slide, low dropkick
through the bottom and middle rope.
[Jerry] Like one of the Toronto Blue Jays, sliding into home.
-Now, what? -[Ross] And Jeff Hardy running the rail
with a crossbody on Nitro,
and it's a good thing Melina got out of the way
or she could've been sandwiched
which I know a creates a vision for you that you enjoy.
[Jerry] Yes, that would be a Kodak moment. Get away, Melina, watch yourself.
[Doan] Three!
Four.
[Ross] Jeff Hardy wisely tossing Nitro back in the ring,
Hardy realizes full well he cannot win the Intercontinental title
-by count-out, and Nitro-- -[Jerry] Look at that move.
-[Jerry] Look out. -[Ross] Oh, my God.
Nitro, that is a wild counter.
[crowd chatters]
[Jerry] Like I said, he's not the Intercontinental Champion
for nothing, J.R.
That may-- that may do Jeff Hardy in right there.
[Ross] Jeff Hardy bounced twice…
[crowd chanting] Nitro sucks!
[Ross] …hitting the canvas, and now,
Nitro taking the legs of the high flyer, Jeff Hardy, away.
[Jerry] That was very, very impressive move by Johnny Nitro.
Put a big smile on the face of Melina there at ringside.
[Ross] Spinning leglock and then dropping of the knee.
[Jerry] Well, I hope we can see-- yes, see, look at that.
[Ross] One, two.
[Jerry] Nitro with that dropkick, took the leg right out
from under Jeff Hardy and Hardy landed right on his head.
[Doan] Hey, you gotta get him out of there.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] Hardy pushing Nitro out of the corner,
Hardy in a similar predicament in the corner where he should not be.
[Jerry] Well, Hardy, it's time for some desperate moves he realizes,
the momentum has swung, he's in trouble, here.
[Ross] Hardy on one leg,
this one could be dangerous.
Going for the enzuigiri.
[Jerry] Come on, J.R. You gotta be impressed with Nitro, here.
[Ross] A swing and a miss.
[Jerry] Once again looking like the Toronto Blue Jays.
And by the way about half the team are here tonight.
[Melina shouting] Make sure…
They're in third place in the American League East Division.
[Melina] Make sure he never walks again!
-and a cover by Nitro. -[Doan] One, two.
[crowd booing]
[Ross] I like Nitro's athleticism but he's--
-Not too crazy about the company he keeps. -[Jerry] I like Melina.
[Ross] Uh, no kidding.
-She's of your-- -[Jerry] Oh, watch this, now.
-[Ross] She's your gender. -[Jerry] Oh! Goodness.
[Ross] Man, that would knot up that charley horse in.
-[shrieking] -the thigh-- oh, gosh, the shakes.
[Jerry] She's a screamer,
come on, you gotta love a girl that's a screamer.
[Ross] And again, Hardy, getting punished in that left thigh.
-[Jerry] Oh. Oh, man. -[Ross] Great strategy.
-[Jerry] Look at that kick. -[Ross] Great strategy by Johnny Nitro.
Now Nitro with the lateral press
and Jeff Hardy kicking out of a near-fall predicament,
created by a very talented Intercontinental Champion.
[Jerry] Let's see this one more time from a different angle,
now look at Melina's reaction, "Oh, you go, guy."
-Oh, look at that. -[Ross] "Oh, you go-- you go guy"?
[Jerry] That's what she said, I heard her.
[crowd chatters]
[Jerry] Jeff Hardy is in a big trouble now.
[Ross] And Nitro continuing to focus on the leg,
again hammering the elbow right at the back of the leg.
Well, Hardy's quickness, his ability to leap,
certainly will be adversely affected
by this particular offense of Johnny Nitro.
[Nitro] Watch this, baby.
[Doan] Hey. Watch the rope.
[Jerry] Ooh.
-[shrieks] -[Ross] Again, Nitro--
very innovative offense by Nitro.
as you're seeing, he's extremely talented.
We're seeing that athleticism now.
[Jerry] I can't-- I can't take my eyes and ears off of Melina over there.
[Ross] That's strange.
[Jerry] She's so happy when Nitro pulls off one of these exciting moves.
-That's her shriek. -[crowd chanting] Hardy! Hardy!
[Ross] A cover by Nitro, and Nitro,
surprisingly out of that cover got a-- got a near-fall.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] And again focusing on the left leg of Jeff Hardy now,
wrenching the leg and the knee and the ankle back,
focusing on both those joints.
[Doan] What do you say, Jeff?
[Jerry] I just envision her with duct tape over her mouth.
Let's cut out the shrieking, you know what I mean?
Oh, look at this.
[Ross] And also a modified version of an Indian deathlock
or a Native American deathlock if you will.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] Hardy got a-- Hardy is so grounded here, it's un-Hardy-like.
[Jerry] Yeah, I know, I can tell by the tone of your voice, J.R.,
that you're a little bit shocked
at the tenacity that Johnny Nitro has shown,
I think that you thought that Jeff Hardy would pretty--
well, handle Johnny Nitro pretty easily.
[Ross] Well, I gotta admit that Jeff Hardy has--
came in this match with great deal of momentum.
[crowd booing]
[Jerry] Well, I think Jeff Hardy made a big mistake last week
when he poured all that paint on Johnny Nitro and Melina.
[Ross] And the Intercontinental belt, perhaps, championship
title belt that he defaced.
Nitro can't do any preening here, he's gotta stay right on the--
stay on the broken hand.
[Jerry] Uh-oh, look out, here. Oh, man.
[Ross] A lot of fans here in the Air Canada Centre
that share uh-- some of my sentiments.
Nitro…
[Jerry] I hear them, Nitro sucks.
…not that popular,
but he is an outstanding champion.
[crowd chatters]
[Jerry] He does-- definitely has the upper hand in this match.
[Ross] Right now he's got the upper foot.
[Jerry laughs] Yes.
[Ross] Ref Jack Doan there to ask Jeff Hardy
if he wants to give it up.
What do you say, Jeff? What do you say?
[Nitro] Give up!
No!
[Ross] Nitro's one leg posted, the other leg--
the other ankle turned in a very awkward and ugly angle.
[Nitro] Give up!
[Jerry] I think Melina just said,
"Give up, Hardy or I shall taunt you again."
[Ross] Oh, you hear the shrieking, Intercontinental title,
created in the WWE in 1979.
Pat Patterson, the Hall of Famer, the first champion.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] There's a…
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] And I heard that Pat Patterson is watching us,
up in Montreal tonight.
[Ross] We're glad Pat is feeling better.
Last I heard, he was in Tampa.
[Jerry] Is that right?
Well, they're kind of close, aren't they?
-[Ross] He's ubiquitous. -[Jerry] Right.
[Ross] Everywhere.
And now Nitro, this is a-- didn't you agree with this?
[Jerry] No, I don't.
I would stay focused on that leg, but--
-[Ross] Oh! -[Jerry] Oh, my goodness!
[Ross] Nitro going for the home run with that blind corkscrew moonsault.
And that was an ugly, ugly way to land.
[Jerry] Check this out one more time, the corkscrew moonsault
and, ooh, landed right on his side and more importantly his knees.
-Five. -[crowd] Five!
[Ross] Again, though, Nitro has the championship advantage,
both men are counted out, Nitro retains the Intercontinental title.
[Jerry] That's why they call a move like that, uh…
-[Ross] High-risk. -[Jerry] Yeah, high-risk.
Thank you.
The corkscrew moonsault.
Oh, look at this.
[Ross] Hardy,
avoids the contact blocking that attempt from Nitro-- hook of the legs.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] And a cover, here.
-[crowd booing] -[Jerry] Whew.
[Ross] And that was a quick pinning predicament
created by Jeff Hardy in a very unorthodox fashion.
And now Jeff Hardy trying to rebuild the momentum
that he seemed to have earlier in this match.
[crowd chatters]
-[Ross] Front facelock. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] Nitro looking for a neckbreaker, I think.
[Jerry] I think it could degenerate down to just a slugfest, it looks like.
[Ross] Nitro tried to suplex, Hardy blocked him.
Oh, and then Nitro walks right into the reverse elbow,
-and now Hardy… -[Jerry] Oh!
[Ross] Whisper in the Wind, King.
Let's see it here, this is gonna-- no.
And Jack Doan's hand was coming down for that fatal three.
Hand was coming south, and that shoulder went north.
[Jerry] Melina's a nervous wreck right now, she's perspiring,
her skin is glistening,
she's moist.
[Ross] All right.
[Jerry] She is, she's the…
[Ross] And now Nitro sending Hardy on that top turnbuckle,
and anything could happen there with these two risk-takers.
Shut up.
[Ross] Nitro looking for something big.
[Jerry] This has been a heck of a match.
Oh. Oh, no, like you said, high-risk.
[Ross] Hardy held on, he anchored himself in that top turnbuckle.
Nitro, in a vulnerable position,
if Hardy hits a Swanton,
-and he does… -[crowd roars]
it should be over, here!
[Jerry] Yeah, but look at-- look at Hardy's leg.
[Ross] Jeff Hardy hurt that leg last Monday night on Raw.
-Now the cover, the cover, oh, my-- -One, two…
[Jerry] Foot on the ropes! Wow.
[Ross] What a horrible break for Jeff Hardy, the--
[Jerry] There's conclusive evidence there was foot on the rope.
[Ross] Not a-- even a pack ten referee can see that,
and they can't see a damn a thing.
[Jerry] Well, Jack Doan, right on the money there,
much to the delight of Melina.
-[Ross] And Nitro, well-- -[Jerry] Wait, whoa, whoa!
[Ross] Jeff, going back to work.
Sunset flip, roll through, nice move by Nitro,
Nitro again focusing on the left leg of Jeff Hardy,
and wisely so for the Intercontinental Champion.
And Hardy quickly--
that leg's really bothering Jeff Hardy right now, King, he got--
[Jerry] Well, that's why it's wise for Nitro to go back there.
As the old saying, "Dance with who brung you."
Get off the rope!
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] Mule kick.
Hardy on one leg,
hopped into position and delivered the mule kick.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Twist of Fate? No, a counter.
Escaped. And again, Nitro…
trying to--
[Jerry] Lemme tell ya something,
he's got that locked in, Hardy may have to tap out, here.
Hardy's in a lot of pain.
[Ross] The ankle being twisted unmercifully by Johnny Nitro,
Jeff Hardy reaching for that bottom rope.
Hardy in a lot of pain.
Nitro pulling Hardy back to the center of the ring,
as far from the ring ropes as one could get.
-[split crowd chanting] Let's go, Hardy! -[split crowd chanting] Let's go, Nitro!
[Ross] Hardy trying to roll closer and closer, maybe one more-- yes.
[Jerry] Got there, he got there.
[Nitro] Come on!
[Ross] Referee untangling legs, calling for a break…
Come on!
…but the--
[Jerry] Johnny Nitro may be calling for a break with Jeff Hardy's left leg.
[Ross] Nitro seems a little frustrated but he's in control.
Baby, come on. Baby, get him…
[Jerry] Hey, hey, Melina getting closer to the action-- Look out!
-Wait a minute! -[Ross] And Hardy with a roll-up--
This may do it.
A cover, yes-- no.
[crowd cheering]
-[Doan] Two. -[Ross] Oh, Nitro
inadvertently hit his witchy woman there.
[Jerry] Can I go help her?
[Ross] Oh, why don't you?
Give her mouth to mouth, she hurt her ankle.
[Jerry] I'll gladly give it. -[Ross] Uh-oh.
At least she's holding her ankle.
Back to live action, here.
[Jerry] I'm gonna tell you something,
this Johnny Nitro has escaped so many attempts by Jeff Hardy.
I'm really impressed with Nitro!
-Oh. Just as I say that. -[Ross] Oh.
[Ross] And what a counter by Hardy, dropped a powerbomb.
-[Jerry] Hey, hey, hey, Melina! -[Ross] And Melina with--
Melina with that boot right to Hardy's face.
[Jerry] Well, her ankle was swelling, she had to take the boot off.
[Ross] Oh, come on, King.
-One, two, three. -[Ross] The boot-- oh, you, oh, come on.
[bell ringing]
["Paparazzi" playing]
-[Ross] This is larceny. -[Jerry] She can barely walk.
Here is your winner and still the Intercontinental Champion,
Johnny Nitro!
[Jerry] Melina's got a major sprain.
[Ross] She can barely walk.
I'm sure she's spent ample time on her back.
And what-- that's the second
time that Melina has saved Nitro's Intercontinental Championship.
[Jerry] That's why Melina is so valuable at ringside.
["Paparazzi" continues playing]
[Ross] Well, Jeff Hardy can thank Melina
for costing him the Intercontinental title not once, but twice.
I did it.
[Ross] And talk about an asset.
[Jerry] Well, you know, come on, let's see
a little bit about Melina, look at that. She's gotta be hurt.
Sprained her ankle and swelling, had to take her boot off and…
[Ross] And she recovered all too quickly.
[Jerry] Well, she's mad at Jeff Hardy for
pushing her off the ring to begin with.
[Ross] Oh, it's actually Nitro that hit her, but be that as it may,
why let the facts get in the way of a good--
[Jerry] Well, Jeff Hardy caused it.
Oh, look, very tender ankle.
[Ross] Oh, and now you got an ankle fetish?
That's what I'm talking about.
-The sexiest team in wrestling. -All this time…
[speaking inaudibly]
You're the sexiest, baby.
[Ross] Look who's here, King, the general manager of SmackDown,
-Theodore R. Long. -[Jerry] Oh, my gosh,
he's got his own personal sky box up there.
And you know why he's here, John Cena.
[pants]
Hey, man. You okay?
[crowd cheering]
Look, man, I know you just got robbed out there,
but don't let that get you down, dude.
You did great, man, I'm proud of you.
[Lita slow-claps] You did great, you did great, Jeff.
Look, what do we have here?
A good ol' Team Xtreme reunion, huh?
So, what you guys been up to?
I mean, not winning championships obviously, right?
But Jeff, you would be a champion if you just weren't such a s… screw-up.
[chuckles softly] No, no, and Matt, I mean, you would be a champion if--
come-- [scoffs] who am I kidding?
You would never be a champion, but I'll tell you what,
since you're here, you can watch me beat Trish Stratus,
and then just a little later on, you can watch Edge
beat John Cena.
And then you can face him on SmackDown,
when Edge sends him packing,
just like he did to you
last year.
So we should do this again sometime.
[Ross] Well, ladies and gentlemen, there you see it,
it weighs over two times
the first time that this cell has ever been used.
Indeed, Satan's playground,
Hell in a Cell, here tonight.
["Virtual Voodoo" playing]
[bell ringing]
[Lilián] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from the Isle of Samoa,
weighing in at 350 pounds, Umaga!
[Jerry] It's monster-time.
[Ross] And the key thing that we must point out that not only is Umaga
making his WWE pay-per-view debut,
Umaga, he's just debuting just-- right after WrestleMania
five and a half months ago, has yet to be defeated.
Umaga, undefeated here, coming into Unforgiven.
[Jerry] Well, Armando Alejandro Estrada
will not let anyone forget it, look at this guy.
He's got a perfect face for Halloween.
Ugh.
-[music fades out] -[crowd chatters]
[speaking Spanish]
Everybody listen… Ha-ha…
to me.
Hey,
for those of you who may have forgotten,
allow me to remind you of who I am.
-My name es… -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
-Armando… -[crowd] Armando!
-Alejandro… -[crowd] Alejandro!
-Estrada! -[crowd] Estrada!
[Ross] How can we forget that?
[shouting indistinctly]
And Kane,
Kane "The Big Red Machine."
Amigo,
you're walking around here
claiming to be some kind of a monster?
Okay.
I got a question.
[speaking Spanish]
Do you people actually think
that Kane is a monster?
[crowd cheering]
[speaking inaudibly]
Hey, if that's what you people think,
then you're all just like Kane.
A bunch of Big, Red…
¿Cómo se dice… ?
…dummies! [laughs]
[crowd booing]
Because this man,
this man es the only monster
in the WWE.
Say hello to the undefeated.
Undefeated.
I said, undefeated,
"Samoan Bulldozer"…
[crowd booing]
…Umaga!
[Ross] That may have been the world's longest introduction.
But in all due respect, nobody has been--
-[pyrotechnics exploding] -[Ross] Oh!
…man enough to beat Umaga yet.
["Slow Chemical" playing]
[Lilián] And making his way to the ring,
weighing in at 320 pounds, Kane!
[Ross] There have been nine Unforgivens.
Kane has competed at eight of them.
The former Intercontinental and WWE Champion,
the star of See No Evil…
has got to be sternly tested here by the Samoan Bulldozer,
-and likewise, I might add. -[Jerry] Oh, yes.
♪ The wonder of the world is gone ♪
[Ross] Hold on to your head.
♪ I know for sure ♪
♪ All the wonder that I want… ♪
[Ross] A combined weight of 674 pounds.
♪ As the whole becomes… ♪
This is the first one-on-one match up
between these two super-heavyweights.
And this may not be the…
-[bell ringing] -[inaudible]
…Brisco-Funk classic with arm drags and headlocks.
[Jerry chuckles] No.
-[Ross] This is a… -[Chad] Hey, hey.
…resemble more of a battle of extreme monster trucks.
And Kane scoring with those heavy-handed rights,
and Umaga being beaten back into the corner, King.
[Jerry] Something Umaga or Alejandro Estrada is not used to see.
Whoa.
[Ross] Both men exchanging heavy rights.
Battle of the heavyweights, no jabbing, here.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] Both men looking for a knockout.
[Jerry] That didn't even knock Umaga down.
Oh, that took Kane down.
[Ross] And what great athleticism
-by a 350-pounder. -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Ross] And Kane sat right up.
[Jerry] Oh!
[Ross] And Kane lands right on his feet right here in front of us.
[crowd member] Come on, Umaga!
[Jerry] I don't like this. They're a little too close for comfort.
Wow. Did you hear that?
[Ross] I-- they're a little too close for comfort, is right.
Umaga!
[screaming]
[Jerry] Oh. [chuckles] Wait, wait! Whoa!
[Ross] Armando Alejandro, uh…
[Jerry] Ran right out of his coat.
[Ross] A little too close to the Big Red Machine, there.
[Jerry] And-- oh, man!
[Ross] But Kane had--
I think he was distracted, it was only momentarily.
That's what you get! You don't put your hands on me!
[Chad] Three!
[speaking in Samoan]
-[Ross] I think Chad Patton… -[Chad] Four!
-Five! -[Ross] Up to a five-count.
-He's got a ten-count to work with, here. -Six!
Take it easy.
Umaga! Umaga!
[Jerry] Estrada trying to reason with the referee.
[crowd chanting] Umaga! Umaga! Umaga!
[Ross] Estrada trying to communicate with Umaga.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] And Umaga goes airborne.
[Armando yelling] Take that. Take that… [continues indistinctly]
[Ross] You just don't see too many athletes with the agility
of Umaga at 350 pounds.
[Jerry] I've always loved battles of the monsters.
Frankenstein meets Wolf Man.
Godzilla and Mothra. Now we got Kane and Umaga.
[grunts]
[Ross] Umaga again, with the right hand. Kane on one knee.
-So, Umaga with the advantage here… -[Armando] Time to say bye-bye.
…to what has been a straightforward…
-[Armando] Take that. Take that. -[Ross] …smash-mouth type of match.
Everything has been high impact.
I didn't think this was gonna be a battle of counter wrestling.
-Oh, man. Look at that. -[Jerry] What was that?
-[Ross] Umaga using that body mass. -[Umaga] For Samoa!
[crowd booing]
[Ross] Right on the knee-- I think right into the chest of Kane.
Umaga!
-[Ross] Estrada leading and cheering. -[Chad] Come on, let's get him out…
[Ross] And look at Umaga, beating Kane down.
-[Armando shouting in Spanish] -[Ross] Kane is seeing evil, feeling evil.
[Chad] Come on. Come on.
[Jerry] Estrada broke quite a sweat when Kane ripped his jacket off.
[scattered crowd chanting] Umaga! Umaga!
[Ross] That's some serious underarm rings, there.
[Armando] Hurts you a lot more than it hurts me [laughs]
-[Ross] Umaga… -For Samoa!
[Jerry] Oh, no, the Samoan Bulldozer.
-[Ross] Oh, man. -[crowd exclaims] Oh!
-[Umaga shouts] -Like getting run over by a bus.
A Samoan bus.
[Kane groaning]
[Jerry] Estrada told me one day that he calls that move the "ATM."
[Ross] Can imagine why.
Oh, look. Watch out, the Samoan Spike.
[Jerry] Oh, no. Estrada is ready for this match to be over.
Whoa!
[Ross] Oh, and Kane beat Umaga to the punch.
[Jerry] Estrada brought one of those Cuban cigars a little too soon.
Umaga!
[Ross] And another hard right by Umaga.
Countered by Kane.
-[Jerry] Check this out one more time. -[yelling] For Samoa!
[Jerry] Kane gets blasted. Fortunately,
Kane had his face a little bit out of the way
or he could have suffered-- well, this match could be over right now.
-[yelling] Samoa! -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Kane out of desperation,
got a big size 18 or 20 boot right in the face of Umaga.
And, now, Kane again…
[Umaga grunts]
-[Ross] This has been a fistfight, King. -[Jerry] Yeah. What'd you expect?
-[crowd cheering] -[Chad] One, two…
[Ross] And Kane with a flurry.
Amazing flurry by Kane.
[Jerry chuckles] Estrada is absolutely beside himself.
[Ross] Estrada must think that the Castro is watching.
Estrada from Cuba or "Kyoo-buh" as they say in Oklahoma.
[Jerry] Oh, look out, here. Oh.
[Ross] Kane with that hard clothesline standing up--
now, look at-- Umaga's in trouble.
Umaga's in trouble, he's reeling, here.
[Jerry] But he's not going down, look at this big clothesline from-- oh, no.
-[Ross] Samoan Drop. -[crowd exclaims] Oh!
[Ross] And Kane's is well over 300 pounds…
Umaga!
Umaga, go up! Go up!
[Ross] …317 to be exact.
And Umaga with that big thumb of that right-hand heavily taped.
[Jerry] Estrada over there. The dry cleaners dream,
instructing Umaga to go to the top.
[Ross] Umaga, a dangerous, dangerous man, here.
-[yelling] -[Ross] Looking to put Kane away!
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] But then Kane sat up…
[Jerry chuckles]
…at the very last instance that he could.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Well, Umaga tried the high-risk move, it didn't work.
Is Kane gonna do the same thing?
[Ross] Big Red Machine looking to fly.
-And finally, Kane… -[crowd roars]
takes down Umaga with that clothesline of the top.
And this huge crowd here in Toronto
appreciating Kane's effort in that high impact.
[Jerry] I think we're about to see Umaga's five-month undefeated streak
broken, right here.
Chokeslam from hell, coming up!
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Can Kane get this 350-pounder up in the air?
And Umaga trying to hit that Spike.
Look at the headbutts.
Kane with the headbutts.
[wrestler grunting]
-[Jerry] Umaga's reeling-- oh. -Take that.
[Ross] Shot right to the throat.
-[Umaga shouts] -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Oh, look at this.
[Ross] Kane belly-to-bellied Umaga over the top.
And that was an awesome strength.
Umaga at 350, now both men on the outside.
Two!
[Ross] Kane with a right hand. Umaga's in…
-Umaga-- -[Jerry] Oh, look out!
-[Ross] Oh, my God. -[Jerry] Right on his head.
[Ross] Umaga landing on his head here on the floor.
[Jerry] Talk about strength.
Kane is--
[Ross] Kane stepping over the security wall
and these two super heavyweights beating the hell out of the each other
-right out there amongst the crowd. -[bell ringing]
[crowd finger whistling, booing]
[Ross] The referee, I think, has counted both men out, I think.
[Jerry] I heard the bell ring. These two guys are still going at it
in the middle of this huge crowd.
[crowd chattering, jeering]
[Ross] Umaga still hasn't been pinned or made to submit.
Kane and Umaga, look out, here.
-[loud clash] -[Jerry] Ooh, wow. Did you hear that?
[Ross] Umaga's head cracking off the…
Unforgiven set.
And look at this fight.
[Armando] Umaga.
[Jerry] Takes the referees some aides to try to get this thing stopped, here.
-[Ross] Officials-- -[Jerry] Would you get in between the--
-these two monsters? I wouldn't. -[Ross] Hell, no.
[referee] Come on, Kane. No, no, no.
[Ross] And Kane is-- got Umaga reeling in.
I've never seen another man that was able to do that.
[crowd booing]
[Jerry] Estrada, I'd stop if I were you.
[Ross] Where the hell do you think that Kane and Umaga go?
[Vince] Here it comes, here it comes. Watch this now.
Oh, yeah!
And then only one thing left to do,
the same thing that's gonna happen tonight.
Watch this now.
Here we go with one, two, and three.
[Shane] Beautiful.
-But that was last Monday. -[split crowd booing]
-[split crowd clapping] -That brings us to tonight.
-What's the name of this pay-per-view? -Unforgiven.
So, have you forgiving-- have you forgiven DX
for everything, every bit of humiliation they put us through?
-Hell, no. -Damn right you haven't…
-They're gonna pay tonight. -…and I haven't either.
Therefore, tonight, in Hell in a Cell,
speaking of Hell in a Cell, where-- where's Big Show?
-Oh, he's right down the Hall. -Yeah?
He's getting ready. Don't worry about it.
He's gonna go in there and rip everybody apart.
-Yeah. -Rip them apart.
I'll come in there, boom, boom, boom, couple of things.
All you have to do is go over there and go for the cover.
"One, two, three."
It's a beautiful night.
Sounds like a plan.
But there's a problem with that plan.
-What's that? -Unlike the country of Canada,
that relies on its allies to do all the work…
-[crowd booing] -…that's not my style.
Tonight, I will be in there.
I will be kicking ass and taking names.
And then I'll make the cover for the "one, two, three."
See, the way I look at it tonight,
with the three of us against DX,
they've got no chance.
No chance…
in hell.
-["Run" playing] -[Ross] Well, that remains to be seen.
[Jerry] A very confident Mr. McMahon. And listen, J.R. Enjoy this.
This is the--
not yet, I wanna-- I want you to get ready and enjoy some great views of the--
there's a great shot of the ACC,
16,000-- over 16,000 people on the inside, but, now listen to this.
♪ This road is nearing the end The wheel… ♪
[Jerry] That's my brand-new favorite group,
Day of Fire and that's the official theme song, "Run."
Official theme song of Unforgiven.
These guys-- these guys actually grew up watching The King in action.
[Ross] I'm down with that, dawg. Oh, come on.
-[spoken] ♪ Kenny! ♪ -♪ Johnny! ♪
-♪ Mitch! ♪ -[Jerry] Day of Fire.
-♪ Nicky! ♪ -♪ Mikey! ♪
-["Team Spirit" playing] -♪ And we are the Spirit Squad ♪
[Jerry] Do we have to follow something good like Day of Fire and "Run"
with… the Spirit Squad?
[Ross] I would say, unfortunately so.
These five, like having five boils on the tailbone of life.
-[Jerry laughs] -[bell ringing]
[Lilián] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
And it is for the World Tag Team Championship.
Introducing first, they are the champions,
the Spirit Squad!
[Ross] There are five members of the Spirit Squad,
all recognized as the World Tag Team Champions.
Two will be in the match tonight.
Which two, I have no idea.
But I do know the other three will remain at ringside
as long as they're good boys.
[Jerry] I think you're not supposed to know which two are gonna compete.
They told me that you're on a need-to-know basis.
[Ross] I'm sure I am.
[Jerry] Well, right now, you don't need to know.
[Ross] I should be. They won the tag titles April 3rd.
["Gorse" playing]
[Lilián] Introducing the challengers,
from Oban, Scotland, at a combined weight of 34 stone,
The Highlanders!
[Ross] Well, The Highlanders got a personal endorsement
last week in Madison Square Garden from the legendary Hall of Famer,
the Scotsman himself, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.
[Jerry] And they also got a victory
in an impromptu Six-Man Tag match last week
over these-- well, of the three members of the Spirit Squad.
[Ross] Highlanders have only one tag team loss, here on Raw.
Rory and Robbie are cousins.
[Jerry] You can't say it like that, you got to say…
[rolling r's] …Rory and Robbie.
That's… [rolling r's] …Rory.
-[Ross] Rory is the bald one… -Come on!
-…and Robbie would be other, obviously. -[bell ringing]
[Ross] My deductive reasoning is sharper than a…
-[Jerry chuckles] Sharper than a marble? -[Ross] Yup.
And it looks like it's gonna be officially Mikey and Kenny.
[Jerry] And I think Rory of The Highlanders,
Rory is probably the smarter of the two, would you agree?
[Ross] Well, I would-- that would be a good summation.
Nice sunset flip, quickly done.
[Jerry] Well, you know what they say about that.
"On the land of the witless, the halfwit is key." [chuckles]
Come on, Mikey!
[Jerry] I'm not gonna say that. I mean,
these guys are a really impressive tag team.
I've certainly enjoyed watching The Highlanders since they've been here.
[Ross] A little bit unorthodox,
their style kind of keeps their adversaries
off a step or two from time to time.
The issue here that you gotta factor in to this match is the fact that…
[Jerry] Hey. Skirt pulling, I mean, kilt pulling.
Hey, we didn't do nothing. Hey.
[Ross] …three additional members of the Spirit Squad on the outside,
and no clean brake obviously, by Mikey.
[groans]
[Ross] Rory seems to be a real hard-nosed,
-kind of in-your-face sort of a wrestler. -[Jerry chuckling] Look at this,
speaking of "in your face."
[Ross] Yes. And Robbie is a little different.
And a cover by Rory and Mikey kicks out.
[Jerry] Robbie using his own head as pretty much a battering ram, there.
I want in!
[Jerry] Oh, what a tag.
[Ross] The shift tag
and a headbutt right to the bicep by Robbie.
[Mike] Come on, come on.
[Ross] Robbie has an unruly beard.
[Jerry] And obviously a hard head.
[Ross] Indeed, and a tag made.
Get in here!
-One! -Come on, drop it!
-[Mike] Two! -Ow!
[Ross] Another headbutt this time by Rory
on the arm of Mikey has yet to be able to tag in Kenny.
[Robbie yelling indistinctly]
[Ross] Five male cheerleaders
representing the WWE as World Tag Champions.
-[Jerry speaks indistinctly] -[Ross] Enough said.
[Jerry] Oh, another headbutt.
-How do you become a male cheerleader? -[Ross] Beats me…
[Jerry] I heard these guys couldn't make it as boy scouts.
-…and there's a cover there by Robbie. -One, two. Two!
[Jerry] They used to walk old ladies only halfway across the street.
[Rory] Come on, Robbie.
[Ross] And Mikey gets to tag to Kenny, the--
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] Kenny elevated.
The youngest member of the Spirit Squad.
[Kenny] Oh!
[Ross] Kenny in the wrong corner.
[Jerry] And back again in the wrong corner.
[Ross] Including his headband.
Come on, give me somethin'…
[Jerry] There's that battering ram.
Robbie used his shoulder more than his head that time.
[Ross] Straightaway style, from The Highlanders.
-And yet another tag. -[Robbie] Come on, Rory!
[Ross] Well, The Highlanders tagging in and out very frequently.
[all grunt]
And Kenny isolated in the plaid corner.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Oh, well, that's quite a view there, Kenny.
oh, goodness.
And both knees
driven into the chest cavity of Kenny.
Ref! Ref!
[Ross] Mitch, Nicky, and Johnny, by the way,
if you're keeping score at home while they're outside, King.
And there's the cover and Rory's got the cover.
And Rory got a near-fall in this matchup for the World Tag Team titles.
Another tag made.
[Jerry] Kenny tried to tag one of the three Spirit Squad members
that are out on the floor, I think.
[Ross] Uh-oh.
[Jerry] Smart move by Kenny.
-[all groan] -[Ross] Double-team by The Highlanders.
Mikey knocked down. Again, another cover.
And The Highlanders certainly have their teamwork down together tonight.
[Rory] There you go, Robbie.
[Jerry] These guys are just-- I mean, they are just rough.
[Rory] Come on, Robbie.
[Ross] Air Canada Centre selling out weeks ago.
I don't think male cheerleaders like things to be rough.
Beautiful facility, opened in 1999.
And tag now made. Now the…
[Mitch] Kill him, Kenny!
[Ross] …Spirit Squad taking advantage over Robbie McAllister.
[crowd chattering]
[Jerry] Nice dropkick.
[Ross] Robbie with a dropkick.
That took Kenny all the way to the outside.
[Jerry, rolling r] He's Robbie.
I'm gonna!
-[Spirit Squad member speaks indistinctly] -[Jerry] Oh, now what?
-[Ross] And-- oh. -[Jerry] Oh, good grief.
[Ross] Robbie took a huge chance, there.
[Jerry] Robbie, don't try that again.
-[Ross] That suicide dive. And-- -[Jerry] I'll tell you…
[Ross] And now they-- ref!
[Jerry] I'd tell Robbie to make a mental note,
but I think he's out of paper.
[Ross] And look at this, behind the referee's back…
-[Jerry] Oh, goodness. -[Ross] …the three extra members
of the Spirit Squad gaining the unfair advantage on the outside.
[Jerry] Hey, come on, ref. Look at this.
Oh, yeah. We're just helping him back in.
[Ross] Well, now you know why-- with the cover.
Now you know why Johnny, Mitch, and Nicky are hanging around.
[Spirit Squad member] Oh!
[Ross] Clothesline with a little bit of help
-by Mikey, cover. -[Mike] One, two
[Ross] You know, individually, all the Spirit Squad athletes
are very talented.
-But if you put them all together… -[Jerry] They start cheering.
[chuckles] That's not good.
[Ross] Three-man advantage, they're getting a-- oh, no more tag match.
Look at this.
[speaking indistinctly]
[grunts]
[Ross] Rory's cousin, Robbie, getting covered.
And Robbie's toughness is gonna be challenged, here.
No tag made.
A double-team before the five-count.
The cover.
[Jerry] And I'm gonna tell you something.
Once the Spirit Squad got the advantage, these guys have been relentless.
They're all over… [rolling r] …Robbie.
[Spirit Squad member] Come on.
[Ross] We've seen great teamwork quite frankly from both teams.
The Highlanders with the momentum early,
but the unfair advantage on the outside
has really put The Highlanders behind the old eight ball
in this World Tag Team title match.
[Jerry] Another shot from the outside on Robbie's back.
-Oh, what a clothesline. -[Spirit Squad member] Come on, ref.
[Ross] Clothesline, the hook of the leg
and Robbie McAllister able to kickout.
You know, the referee is really in a challenging position here to watch--
try to watch seven people
potentially involved in this contest.
Oh.
[crowd chattering]
[Ross] I'm sure George W. Bush loves the Spirit Squad.
He was a former male cheerleader at Yale.
-[Jerry] Really? -[Ross] And a cover.
[Kenny] Mikey.
[Ross] Front facelock.
-[Kenny] Mikey. -[Ross] Well, the--
Mr. McMahon seemed to be very confident tonight,
just few minutes ago regarding the Hell in a Cell coming up
just moments away, quite frankly.
[Rory] Come on.
[Ross] That was a hard shot.
World tag titles on the line, here.
[grunting]
[Jerry] We know that the Hell in a Cell match is gonna be brutal.
And right now, these Spirit Squad members have been pretty brutal on Robbie.
Oh, there's a miss.
[Ross] Mikey left his feet, paid for it.
And Kenny got up to the outside.
[Jerry] Robbie needs to get the tag here and it looks like he's gotta-- oh, wait.
[Ross] Robbie was about to make the tag until Kenny,
the legal man in the match,
took Rory right off the apron.
[Jerry] Check it out one more time. The tag was about to be made
and like you said,
Rory's face right into the mat.
[Ross] I mean, a photo finish and that could do it right there.
The hook of the leg, and Rory back in.
Roaring in.
[Jerry] Rory comes in and returned the favor.
[Rory] Robbie, come on. Wait for 'im! Come on!
[Ross] Mikey and Robbie, legal.
[Jerry] Check this match-- this move out.
This almost ended the match for The Highlanders.
-Shades of the Hart Foundation, isn't it? -[Ross] Certainly was.
[Jerry] People here in Canada have seen that move many times.
[Ross] In all due respect to Bret Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart,
I don't think anybody could ever do it better than they.
-It's over now. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Spirit Squad member] Come on!
[Jerry] Swinging neckbreaker coming up.
[Ross] That was nicely done. You can't do any better than that.
And another cheap shot by Kenny.
Kenny's agility.
[Jerry] Rory is gonna have to pay better attention
while he's out there on that apron.
And, oh, miss! Nobody home!
[Mike] Come on.
[Ross] Have to-- one of those preparation H-bombs.
[Jerry] You're not kidding.
-[Rory] Come on, Robbie. -[Ross] Nobody there and Rory saved Robbie
from certain disaster in that situation.
Kenny intelligently makes a tag.
[Jerry] There's the tag on Rory.
[Ross] So, Rory now and Mikey, the legal men.
Nothing cute or fancy about this offense.
[Jerry] Rory coming off with those big sledgehammers.
Uh-oh.
[Ross] One-man flapjack.
[Jerry] Watch it. Watch it.
[Ross] Table for two.
[Ross] Highlanders building their momentum.
[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Ross] Look out, here.
[Ross] Kenny over the top.
Highlanders in control.
-Mikey is all that's left. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] With the tag titles on the line, here.
Straightforward reverse suplex.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Scot Drop.
-[crowd] One, two… -[Ross] The cover is…
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Ross] Who the hell was-- oh, Kenny came back in.
Kenny came back in just before the three-count.
[Jerry] This turned out to be a heck of a match, J.R. Look at these guys.
[Mike] One, two…
[Jerry] Rory waiting to-- Wait, watch your back, Rory!
[Ross] Cheap shot by Johnny, the martial arts expert.
[Jerry] Oh, that beard.
[Ross] And a facebuster.
Johnny got that kick in,
some call it the "Johnny go round."
-[Mike] One, two, three. -[Ross] And the cover. Will that be--
-[bell ringing] -[Ross] I'll be damned.
[crowd chatters]
["Team Spirit" playing]
[Lilián] Here are your winners
and still the World Tag Team Champions,
the Spirit Squad.
[Ross] Well, the Spirit Squad with that three-man advantage.
It's five-on-two any way you wanna do your math.
No matter where you're watching our broadcast tonight.
The math is the same.
The Spirit Squad with the three-man advantage.
Johnny's martial art shot at the back of the head
spelled disaster for Rory.
[Jerry] Yeah. Check this out. Here's that kick you're talking about and then,
well, Rory's beard was used to his disadvantage
to pull his face right into the mat.
[indistinct chatter]
[Jerry] Oh, these guys.
[Ross] And the WWE still represented,
the World Tag Team Champions, by five male cheerleaders.
[Jerry] If idiots could fly, those guys would be an airport.
-Look at them. -Well, ladies and gentlemen,
in just a few moments,
it is a match that I'm sure that many of you paid this pay-per-view to see
and that is, without a doubt, the most dangerous match
in the history of the WWE, that is no exaggeration.
It is called Hell in a Cell.
-["Run" playing] -So many men have been hurt,
so many careers have been shortened.
And, ladies and gentlemen, this issue between DX and the McMahons,
started by DX humiliating and embarrassing The Boss.
[song fades out]
-[Triple H] Are you ready? -[upbeat music plays]
[Jerry] Candid chaos, disorder, DX is back.
[Ross] DX has made a habit of embarrassing the McMahons.
[Triple H] D-Generation X brought me a rooster.
The implication being that I love cocks.
[Ross] The anti-establishment, the attitudinal, the defiant duo.
It's Vince's production truck.
[Triple H] Go to camera ten. Go to camera ten.
Mr. McMahon-- ah!
[Ross] DX is raising hell.
Oh, the McMahons are seething.
Damn DX!
[accelerated pitch] No one ever is going to--
Damn it! You people think this is funny?!
[Ross] Once again, DX has humiliated
the chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Vince] You think DX has broken me?
[Triple H] That is gonna leave a mark.
[screaming]
[Triple H] What could we possibly have done to Vince McMahon to make him mad?
-[solemn music playing] -[Vince] You have laughed in the past,
but there's an old expression,
-"He who laughs last, laughs loudest." -[demented laughter]
-[Ross] Big Show? -[Jerry] What is this?
[Ross] The ECW Heavyweight Champion,
the biggest athlete in the world.
[Jerry] Oh, no, chokeslam.
[Ross] Bam.
Oh, oh, that is gonna hurt.
[Ross] McMahon's got a lead pipe!
[music intensifies]
[Ross] I can't believe the damage, the physical dissection of DX.
[Vince] Me, my son, Shane, will be back in the ring with you two.
But this time, the Big Show will be joining us.
And this time, it will be Hell in a Cell.
[Ross] I think we just heard DX's death sentence.
[Vince] Hell in the Cell.
[Ross] The most destructive, unforgiving, satanic structure
that has ever been created.
[Jerry] This kind of match is not for the weak-hearted.
[Triple H] It's been a long time
since someone has made us taste our own blood.
Thank you for reminding us
just who the hell we are.
[Ross] DX wants the McMahons and the Big Show
as badly as they've ever wanted anyone in their careers.
[Big Show] Hell in the Cell, DX.
Their fate will be sealed.
Nobody can beat me.
[Vince] And it will be Hell in a Cell
when DX is disenfranchised,
dismembered, and defeated.
[Ross] What in God's name
is the price to be paid at Unforgiven inside Hell in a Cell?
[intense music concludes]
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at 2,000 pounds plus
of Satan's playground.
This is a new Hell in a Cell,
bigger, stronger than it's, uh-- the original version.
It's 20 feet higher,
3500 square feet,
weighs well over two tons,
took over two weeks to build, King,
-and there are five one-ton motors… -♪ Here comes the money ♪
-…to hold it. ♪ Here we go, money talks ♪
♪ Here comes the money ♪
[Ross] Pretty awesome, pretty intimidating, but…
[Jerry] That young man doesn't look too intimidated, does he, J.R.?
[Ross] Shane O'Mac has never been in a Hell in a Cell match.
♪ Ching, ching, bling-bling Pattin' in pocket ♪
[Ross] Find no silver spoons inside this steel.
Wrong alloy.
[bell ringing]
[Lilián] The following is the "handicap" Hell in a Cell match.
Introducing first from Greenwich, Connecticut,
weighing in at 234 pounds,
Shane McMahon!
[Jerry] Come on, J.R.,
sure, Shane has led a privileged life but it's not his fault.
You can't hold that against the young man.
[Ross] Shane McMahon has, uh, done some amazing things in the ring as well.
Let's not discount that.
-["Crank It Up" playing] -♪ Well, it's the Big Show ♪
[Jerry] Wow. Speaking of amazing things in the ring.
[Lilián] Introducing his tag team partner first,
weighing in at 507 pounds and seven feet tall,
he is the ECW World Heavyweight Champion,
the Big Show!
[Ross] I would say the Big Show is a--
is at least 507 pounds,
the biggest athlete in the world.
He is the first ECW Superstar
to ever compete in a Hell in a Cell match,
the reigning ECW Champion,
and quite the asset for the, uh, wickedly wealthy.
[Jerry] My God, he's huge.
[Ross] God almighty.
Look at the size of this cell
and look at what's stepping over the top rope.
Freak of nature.
[Jerry] J.R., "wickedly wealthy," you're not just jealous of the fact
that The McMahons are billionaires, are you?
[Ross] No, I'm really not.
I can't even imagine what it would be like to be a billionaire or a millionaire.
[Jerry] I heard when Shane was a little kid, he was mad because--
[Ross] Or a hundredaire.
[Jerry] When Shane was a little kid, he got mad because gumball machines
didn't take credit cards.

There have been broken ribs, broken teeth, men knocked out, dislocated shoulders,
dislocated jaws, broken feet.
Those are just stitches and bruised kidneys
by men who have competed in this Hell in a Cell environment.
[Jerry] But not this Hell in a Cell.
That would be the previous Hell in a Cell.

[Ross] Shawn Michaels was in the first Hell in a Cell match in 1997,
the first ever. And he won it.
Triple H tying The Undertaker
with seven Hell in a Cell appearances here tonight.
No one has been in more.
Will that be the deciding advantage
or is the biggest asset The McMahons can find too much?
[Jerry] Uh-oh. Look at Mr. McMahon.
[Ross] Or even DX to pull off, King.
[Jerry] Well, we're gonna find out tonight.
Mr. McMahon can't wait to get into action but the Big Show,
"Man, take it easy."
"Calm down." "Let me handle the heavy work, here."
Stay right there.
Hold on.
[Ross] Big Show saying, "I got it." And he may be right.
[Jerry] Or he may get it.
[Ross] Well, last Monday night on Raw at the Garden, New York City,
Triple H bleeding from the ear,
had equilibrium issues,
Mr. McMahon, uh, upsetting Triple H in Madison Square Garden.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] And a low blow.
-[Jerry] A double low kick. -[bell ringing]
[Ross] Right to the globes.
And remember, there's no disqualification.
It goes without saying that this match continues, no matter what,
until one man is pinned or made to submit.
[Jerry] Well, DX started off like a-- watch the--
watch the way this man started.
A double kick, south of the border if you would like to say, there, on the Big Show.
[crowd chants indistinctly]
[Ross] Michaels with a straight right hand on Shane McMahon.
Again, anything goes in this environment.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Ross] And Shane over the top,
hitting that steel with-- he went head first down to the floor.
[Jerry] Speaking of being on the floor to--
oh, there goes Mr. McMahon out there with his son, Shane,
but the Big Show still down, still trying to recover.
[Ross] Big Show obviously forgot his cup tonight.
[Jerry] No! Not again! [chuckles]
[Ross] And that's a reminder to wear it next time,
another double low blow to the biggest athlete in the world
who may endure some swelling.
I'll never know that that could be the case.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] And man, I'll tell you what,
if you eliminate the Big Show from this equation, King,
I don't know how good it is for The McMahons.
[Jerry] It's not good at all.
I can assure you that things are not going now
the way Mr. McMahon had envisioned.
[crowd chatters]
[Jerry] Or the way the Big Show had envisioned.
I think Big Show had in mind he was gonna come out here singlehandedly
take care of DX and then turn them over-- oh, no!
[Ross] Shane McMahon just ate some steel…
[Jerry] I saw a tooth fly!
[Ross] …and it didn't taste like quiche
or any, uh, wrestling prepared meal by a chef.
[Mike] Come on.
Come on.
-[Ross] Mike Chioda, the referee… -[Jerry] Oh.
…can only count fall if they ring the bell.
-There's no rules. -[Jerry] Watch this and listen.
-[metal clatters] -Oh, my God.
[Ross] The skull of the heir apparent
to the McMahon throne just cracking the, uh--
these heavy gates of steel fencing.
-[Jerry] Oh, no, it's already opened up. -[Ross] Oh, my God.
And Shane McMahon has been deeply cut, deeply lacerated
at the hands of the unforgiving steel.
[Jerry] Oh, my God. I hope McMahon can't see that.
That is the son of Vince McMahon.
Oh.
Son of a billionaire…
[Ross] And Mr. McMahon…
[Jerry] …bleeding profusely over there.
[Ross] …just got a taste of that steel and--
-[Jerry] Oh, wait a minute. -[Ross] Look at this.
Shane McMahon's-- his face just being raked.
[Jerry] It's like a cheese grater that-- the wall of the Hell in a Cell.
[Ross] And maybe some very wealthy epidermis
left hanging on that cage.
Shane McMahon's face raked all over the cage and he's bleeding now,
that kick to the face.
And there you see Shane McMahon--
[Jerry] Oh, no, no, no, no, Vince is bleeding.
[Ross] And now Triple H…
driving that big right hand.
[Jerry] Look out. Come on.
What are you doing?
It doesn't have to be like this, does it, J.R.?
[Ross] You're damn right, it does.
It's Hell in a Cell, King.
-Look at this. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Shane McMahon.
Boy, I'll tell you what,
with the Big Show taken out of the equation,
The McMahons are getting the holy hell beaten out of them.
[Jerry] Oh, no, watch again as you see poor Vince McMahon
run face first into that Hell in a Cell.
[Ross] This is a very callous cage.
[Jerry] What is that? What does…
Triple H have in his hand?
-[Vince screaming] -[Jerry] Is that a screwdriver?
-My gosh. Come on. -[Ross] It is.
Triple H driving a screwdriver right into that open wound…
-[Jerry] You can't do that, can you? -…of the-- of the chairman of the WWE.
[Jerry] There's got to be some kind of rules in this thing.
[Ross] King, there are no rules, for the 88th time.
This is the 14th Hell in a Cell.
I think we've called virtually all of them.
There are no rules.
They're only victims.
[Jerry] Big Show, you're gonna have to get up.
You have to save The McMahons from being completely destroyed, here.
[Ross] Shane McMahon is bleeding profusely.
[Jerry] What's his blood type?
[Ross] I would say, uh, blue chip.
Mr. McMahon scooped up.
-[Jerry] Oh, no. Oh. -[Ross] Slammed hard.
A hard slam for the chairman of-- now, the Big Show is up.
The 507-pounder is up and he catches Shawn Michaels in midair.
And a slam.
[Jerry] Now the momentum may change, J.R.
[Ross] No doubt about that. But look at The Game.
He can be as bad as he wants to be.
And letting-- got overpowered…
-[crowd exclaiming] Ooh! -…just completely overpowered,
and Michaels knocked down.
Viciously knocked down by the biggest athlete in the world,
who was already--
he was in a pissed off mood to start with…
-[Jerry] The Giant-- -…after getting two low blows.
[Jerry] The Giant has awoken. Here comes Shawn. Look out.
-[Ross] Shawn Michaels go over. -[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
[Ross] Michaels caught.
[Jerry] Like a fly in midair.
-Oh. Uh-oh. -[Ross] Oh.
Triple H assisting Michaels.
[Jerry] Oh, no. Oh.
[Ross] And the DX double teaming the Big Show.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] And that sinful steel has no conscience, much like a McMahon.
[Jerry] Every time the Big Show gets incapacitated,
poor Mr. McMahon and Shane get brutalized.
[Ross] Well, that's what happened to DX last week, the last several weeks.
[Jerry] Oh, Big Show rammed in.
Look at his face as he tasted that-- those steel steps.
[Ross] Those steps don't care if Big Show's 507.
And Big Show, they don't-- look of amazement a moment ago.
Mr. McMahon knocked down by The King of Kings.
[Jerry] And you know this is not the way Mr. McMahon
had thought this match would go.
I don't think Mr. McMahon's had one option but move yet, has he?
[Ross] A hardly raised knee drop right to the head of Mr. McMahon
while Shawn Michaels has Shane McMahon in a compromised position in the corner.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] But there's the difference-maker again,
the ECW Heavyweight Champion, the Big Show.
[Jerry] Remember that smug look that was on Mr. McMahon's face
as he came out for this match?
It's long gone.
-Oh. -[Ross] A hard clothesline.
HBK is back right in front to us against the steel fencing in this…
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] And look at Triple H barely able to stand,
Triple H's legs, spaghetti-legged at the hands--
and now down at the hands of the Big Show.
Big Show's wears the size 22 5E boot.
That is a large foot.
[Jerry] Watch that. That's the same ear.
You remember that ear was nearly ripped off last week on Raw
and that's the same ear there of Triple H that the Big Show is headbutting.
[Ross] Well, Triple H looks like he may have lost his equilibrium again.
Big Show headbutting that damaged ear.
The car door. Remember, the limo door slammed shut
at Madison Square Garden last week,
and The Game gallantly fought in the main event last week.
Power-- no, Chokeslam.
[Jerry] I was talking to Triple H earlier and looked at that ear, it's still--
it's still a mess.
This is not gonna do it any good.
[Ross] And we're only six days removed from that assault on DX
from Madison Square Garden here tonight at Unforgiven.
And Michaels and Triple H-- what the hell is--
Shane McMahon is instructing the Big Show to-- oh, my God.
[Jerry] Wow.
[Ross] Shawn Michaels' face bounced right off that steel fencing.
[Jerry] And he was flipped with great force
by the Big Show face first into that cell.
[Ross] Shane McMahon dropping elbows viciously to the kidney.
[Jerry] Look at Shane as he was-- he was just directing traffic a moment ago
and-- oh, man.
[Ross] And Michaels got ragdolled by the biggest man
in the history of the WWE,
the Big Show.
[Jerry] Now, Vince McMahon back on his feet
and you can tell that Triple H has definitely lost his equilibrium,
-can barely stand. -[Ross] Kidney shot-- kidney shots.
Now, Shane McMahon, teeing off, on a helpless Triple H,
whose equilibrium may be past the point of no return, here.
And Michaels is bleeding. HBK is busted--
-What a-- oh. -[Jerry] Oh, wait, watch this.
[Ross] Oh, God. Michaels, like a javelin.
And the fence was the javelin catcher.
[Jerry] The Big Show right before he slams Shawn's face into that cell,
he told The McMahons, "Watch this."
[Ross] Shawn Michaels, a human long dart, at the hands of the Big Show.
[Jerry] Check out the dart one more time.
-Ooh! -[Ross] Oh, my…
[Jerry] Well, the momentum has definitely changed in this match.
The smirk is, uh, beginning to reappear on the face of Mr. McMahon.
[Ross] The confidence is back in the chairman.
The controversial chairman of the WWE.
[metal tools rattling]
[Jerry] That tool kit under there, J.R.,
doesn't sound good. Oh, wait a minute.
[Ross] Trash can, all legal.
There is a tool kit, by the way.
-[Jerry] I see it. -[Ross] Under the ring.
There's no telling what…
I think that maybe where that screwdriver came from earlier that Triple H used.
[Jerry] Uh-oh. You know what this means, don't you?
[Ross] Triple H is motionless.
[Jerry] I mean, this is Vince McMahon signaling
for Shane McMahon's signature move.
[Ross] And Daddy Big Bucks…
directing his kid, his son Shane.
Look out, here.
Oh, God, Coast-to-Coast.
[Jerry] Oh. Right into that ear.
Oh! Oh! Look, look.
[Ross] Jesus almighty, look at that ear.
Uh-oh.
Oh.
[Ross] My God.
And now Mr. McMahon…
-[Jerry] Easy. Come on. -[Ross] …like a vulture,
like a vulture on a helpless prey.
[Jerry] Watch this crotch chop from Shane before--
-[Ross] Bam. -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Ross] Oh, my--
And Shane McMahon is still down
from putting his own body on the line.
Shawn Michaels brought in like a small child
at the hands of the Big Show.
Michaels is bleeding.
Triple H is still unable to get to his feet.
And now, Triple H is bleeding so much out of that inner ear.
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[Ross] What a kick right to his face.
[Jerry] Check out this Coast-to-Coast one more time with Vince,
showing his son Shane the way to deliver that.
Again. Big one.
[Ross] Look at this.
Michaels being held on by Shane McMahon and the Big Show
while the chairman of the WWE with some vile lefts and rights
to a helpless Shawn Michaels,
getting his licks in, was Mr. McMahon
and this is the most brutal board meeting I've ever witnessed.
[Jerry] Mr. McMahon had promised us that tonight here in Unforgiven
he was gonna rid himself and rid the WWE of D-Generation X.
He looks like he's well on this way to doing that.
[Ross] We call this "Satan's Playground" and there is Satan Superior, Mr. McMahon,
and the teamwork of The McMahon menfolk.
Mr. McMahon sending The Game for the ride,
and Shane McMahon delivering the heavy artillery
with that clothesline and it-- what the hell is in this?
Look at the blood all over Shane McMahon's face and the shirt.
[Jerry] And look at Mr. McMahon's face. He's gonna have to have stitches.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] Oh.
[Jerry] What's it gonna be?
[Ross] Oh, God.
Shane McMahon catapulting-- I can't believe the strength and leverage.
Shane McMahon catapulted Triple H who is bleeding like a sieve.
[Jerry] And Mr. McMahon--
[Ross] And Shane is down, even.
[Jerry] In spite of the fact that Mr. McMahon,
the blood is flowing out of his head,
he's smiling like a Cheshire Cat.
[Vince] Brutalize him, Show.
Brutalize him.
[Jerry] Let me see that slingshot one more time. Look at--
this is an amazing swing
shown by Shane McMahon.
[Ross] Great leverage and strength, indeed.
Mr. McMahon saying earlier, "Brutalize him,"
referring to Big Show to brutalize Shawn Michaels.
[Jerry] Oh, this could end it, right, here. Oh, my gosh.
And the Big Show with that Vader bomb.
[Jerry] Shawn just squashed.
[Ross] Oh, Michaels face is literally a crimson mask.
[Jerry] Well, we said the early part of this match was--
did not go the way the McMahons intended but I'm sure--
-[Ross] There's a cover. Is it over? And-- -[Jerry] Here we go.
Not tonight.
No, baby. Come over here, Show.
Come on.
I'm gonna teach him a lesson!
They humiliated me.
Teach him a lesson.
-Yeah. -[Big Show] Yes, sir.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on. Come on. Get him off.
[Ross] Crazed man. Mr. McMahon is a crazed man.
[Jerry] Well, just think back, J.R., think of the things
that DX did to Mr. McMahon.
[Ross] Cobra clutch right into that backbreaker.
[Jerry] That was a 30 million dollar-- his corporate jet that DX desecrated
in Mr. McMahon's own headquarters.
[Ross] Shawn Michaels of dire straits, here.
-And a huge leg drop. -[Jerry] Oh. Oh.
[Ross] Michaels is absolutely dead meat.
Absolutely dead meat and now the cover.
It is certainly got to be
Whoa! Oh no. No, no, no. I don't think so.
-[Jerry] Well, unfortunately-- -[Vince] No, no.
[Ross] What kind of human being would wanna prolong this agony?
Unfortunately, for DX, this match is happily named-- uh-oh.
[Ross] Uh-oh.
Triple H just low-bridged, the Big Show…
-[crowd cheering] -…and The Game back in the ring.
Triple H now, his body covered in blood.
Oh, facebuster.
[Jerry] His face can't stand to be busted anymore.
[Ross] The King of Kings.
[Jerry] Wait a minute.
[Ross] Shane McMahon protecting his father.
Shane McMahon
-[Jerry] What is he doing? -[Ross] A backbreaker.
[Jerry] Look at the strength of Shane McMahon.
-Oh, no. [chuckles] -[crowd exclaiming] No!
[Ross] Triple H countered.
I think Triple H countered that backbreaker.
Shane's "Superstar" Billy Graham's backbreaker.
[Jerry] But look at the carnage in the ring. Everybody is down.
[Ross] God almighty.
I tell you what, folks, if somebody doesn't get drastically injured in this,
I'll be the most surprised man in North America.
[Jerry] J.R., they're all already drastically injured, look at this.
I don't--
I don't believe any of these guys will be ever be the same after this match.
Shawn Michaels somehow back up to his feet as is Shane-- oh.
-Oh. Oh, my God. -[Ross] Did you hear that sound?
Did you hear that enzuigiri?
[Jerry] I heard and I saw it. Shane is-- these guys are glazed over.
It's-- he is history.
[Ross] Shane McMahon maybe bleeding from the nose and the mouth.
The clothesline from the chairman.
[Jerry] Watch this kick again.
Good grief.
[Ross] What an enzuigiri right at--
Shane McMahon is bleeding from his nose and his mouth, I think.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Shawn Michaels has lost so much blood,
has taken so much punishment.
[Jerry] The Big Show is taking a lot of punishment
but he's the only one who's not bleeding.
And what is Mr. McMahon doing?
You've got to be kidding me.
What the-- he must have hit his head too hard.
[Ross] This is the epitome of arrogance.
[Jerry] He don't where he's at or what kind of match he's in.
[Ross] He wants Shane.
[Jerry] Wait a minute.
J.R., I think we're having an impromptu club meeting, here.
[Ross] Mr. McMahon wants Shawn Michaels to kiss his ass.
Can you believe the audacity of the chairman of the WWE
-with his ass hanging out? -[Jerry] What? Look at this--
[Ross] And look at Triple H. Look at Triple H.
[Jerry] Right in the middle of a Hell in a Cell,
we went to the Kiss My Ass Club.
[Ross] Triple H got one shot in on Mr. McMahon
before the Big Show intervened
and every time DX has started to build momentum,
it's been the Big Show being the difference-maker.
[Jerry] Well, I think we just saw a little insight
as to how Mr. McMahon's mind really works.
Just beating DX is not enough. He wants to destroy him, humiliate him.
[Ross] And now there's-- I thought it was gonna be a cover.
[Jerry] Oh, no, no, it's what I said, he doesn't wanna just beat these guys.
Go, splash him.
[Jerry] He wants them destroyed.
He's calling for a splash, here.
Oh, look out.
[Ross] Mr. McMahon just got splashed inadvertently.
Yes, you did it, big man, the Big Show.
[Jerry] Oh, didn't mean to, I'm sure.
[Ross] Aiming-- my God, right in the back of Mr. McMahon,
that's 500 pounds and the Big Show is-- oh, no.
With the double team, DX.
-[Jerry] Oh-hoo-hoo! -[crowd exclaims, cheers]
[Ross] The Golden Globe winner, DX.
[Jerry] How many of those can Big Show take?
He'll have to grow a new pair if it's possible.
[Ross] Mr. McMahon getting that huge big splash
right to his lower back and kidneys.
[Jerry] And now Shane is realizing…
he's in an island.
[Ross] Shane being Donkey Kong, Ping Pong.
Oh.
Shawn Michaels.
-Yes. -[crowd cheers]
Somehow, Michaels able to nip-up.
[Jerry] The Showstopper, inverted atomic drop.
[Ross] Oh.
Double A Spinebuster,
and now DX is standing near the top of this mountain.
[Jerry] Once again, I think The McMahons have reminded DX of exactly who they are.
[Ross] And Mr. McMahon may have--
Mr. McMahon's back could be broken after the big splash from the Big Show.
Shane McMahon, vulnerable.
Uh-oh.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] The Game looking to--
[Jerry] Steel chairs? What?
Wait a minute.
Look at the ref. All he can do is ask maybe, "What are you gonna do?"
-Oh, no. -[Ross] God, oh my God.
-Shane McMahon's neck. -[Jerry] No way, man.
DX, come on.
He's the future of the WWE.
-You can't do this. -[Ross] And look out, look out.
Oh, my God!
God almighty!
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] The Crown Prince's neck may be broken.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Shane McMahon's neck was caught in that steel chair.
Bam! Right right to the esophagus!
-Oh, is Shane-- oh. -[Jerry] Oh, there you go.
[Ross] Internal.
Shane McMahon has got serious internal injuries.
[Jerry] Ref!
[Ross] You know, really, King, at some point,
the referee could say, "Hey, listen"--
[Jerry] Well, J.R., this is truly a brutal match.
This is really hell inside a cell.
[Ross] A remorseless ring of steel and there is the Big Show again.
And Big Show overpowering The Game
after pulling Shawn Michaels out of the ring,
Big Show recuperating from a repeated onslaught on his manhood.
[Jerry] Like I said, Big Show is still the only man
that's not bleeding profusely in this match.
And now, Shane, I'm worried about that.
He's bleeding-- like you said, internally bleeding out of his mouth.
[Jerry] Unless all his teeth are knocked out.
[Ross] Those steel steps at the hands of the Big Show
can be a diabolic device of devastation,
let me tell you.
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
[bellowing]
[Ross] Mr. McMahon's lower back-- probably not.
He's just barely able to--
[Jerry] Oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Big Show wouldn't do this. Oh, oh, oh.
[Ross] Steel chair shot.
-Big Show caught. -[Jerry] Oh, no.
-[Ross] Jeez. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Oh, for the love of God.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Steel on steel with a skull in the middle.
And guess who wins.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] Big Show somehow is standing but he has no clue where he is.
[Jerry] I think he's waiting as well.
[Ross] Sweet Chin Music.
God almighty, will you look at the carnage?
Will you look at the casualties of this Hell in a Cell war here tonight?
[Jerry] How do you-- how is this thing gonna end?
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] Mr. McMahon
now bleeding on his arms, bleeding on his face,
his back maybe cracked,
but the evil chairman is standing.
-[Jerry] How defiant. -[Ross] God almighty.
Look at that face of a sick,
demented man, at this point in time.
[Jerry] He truly hates DX.
What is he doing here?
-What is Vince doing? -Come on. Damn it!
[crowd chatters]
[crowd roaring, applauding]
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] Oh, my God.
That is the biggest crack I ever saw.
Big Show has been pantsed
-and now maybe-- -[Jerry] Well, you know what, J.R.?
-[Ross] You think? -[Jerry] I never thought
that I wouldn't wanna be a billionaire.
But right now,
I would not wanna be Mr. Vince McMahon.
Beg, plead, do anything.
You can't let this happen, Mr. McMahon.
Promise of the world.
[Ross] It could the Billionaire Butt Club.
[Jerry] Think of your partners, do anything.
-Oh, no. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] And Triple H says, "Suck it."
-[Jerry] And he is sucking it! -[Ross] Oh, my God.
Deep in the crevice,
Mr. McMahon's head literally up the Big Show's ass.
[Jerry heaving] I'm gonna throw up.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] He's gonna lose, just watch.
[retching]
[Ross] He needs Dr. Hiney.
[Jerry] Oh, my God. I can't believe what we just witnessed.
-[crowd cheering] -[Ross] What humiliation.
What in hell-- what else is gonna--
[Jerry] That is what else.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Well, from humiliation to devastation.
[Jerry] Yeah. This is where you reverse the sane and you add injury to insult.
[Ross] First, Mr. McMahon's head buried in the ass of the Big Show.
[Jerry] Shawn Michaels tuning up the band.
[Ross] Nowhere to hide and nowhere to run from Sweet Chin Music.
[Ross] Oh, my God. No, come on.
Triple H really is-- enough is enough.
[Jerry] Triple H, have some mercy!
[crowd cheering]

[Jerry] Get them to a-- get them to the back,
get them to a hospital, quick.
[Ross] Well, Shane's eyes are scary.
I'm honest as hell.
His eyes are faraway looking,
Shane McMahon's eyes are just frightening.

[Ross] Well, the crowd certainly cheering the--
[Jerry] I don't know how-- I don't know how you can-- this is--
-[Ross] What a truly troubling-- -[Jerry] This is too brutal.
it's truly troubling to sit here and witness this carnage
on five men, whether you like them or you don't.
A lot of blood spilled.
The violence, the brutality,
it all escalated to another level here tonight.
[Jerry] Well, I guess DX can't grieve forever.
They're already celebrating.
[Ross] Satan's playground has claimed more victims.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Well, early on, Mr. McMahon wanted to make
Shawn Michaels join the Kiss My Ass Club right in the middle of the match.
But instead, you saw the look on Mr. McMahon's face
right before he was buried into the huge butt of the Big Show.
[Ross] Sweet Chin Music.
Man! As hard as you can kick somebody,
and then the sledgehammer.
-Watch this, folks. -[Jerry] Oh, no.

[Jerry] Man, it's hard to watch.
I see-- I don't think I'll ever forget the look on Mr. McMahon's face.
J.R., is there anything worse you can do
to a billionaire, owner of a company like WWE,
than embarrass him like that in front of the world the way that DX did tonight?
[Ross] Shane McMahon looks very, very-- quite frankly, afraid,
very scared right now.
He must be feeling pains he's never felt before.
[Jerry] J.R., I don't think he's scared.
-I think he's unconscious. -[Ross] I say that in all sincerity.
[Jerry] I think he's out.
-His eyes just got a blank look. -[both grunt]
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] DX with a--
I mean, the hardest of hard-fought victories,
this was beyond the pale.
This was beyond Hell in a Cell.
And who-- will any of these men quite frankly,
ladies and gentlemen, ask yourself, ever be the same?
We go from the brutality,
the viciousness of Hell in a Cell
to a very, uh, well, a very heartwarming situation, here.
-Heartbreaking if you will, really. -[Jerry] Yeah.
I was gonna say it's heartbreaking to me.
[Ross] Trish Stratus' last match for the title.
Here's a special of your Trish.
[uplifting orchestral music playing]
[Howard] From Toronto, Canada,
Trish Stratus.
[Trish] I really believe in destiny and things happen for a reason.
[Ross] She did it. Trish Stratus has become the Women's Champion.
[Trish] I wanna make sure that every time I go out there I make an impact.
[Ross] A record-setting six-time, Trish is the Women's Champion.
[Trish] I want my time to be memorable to me and to everyone around me.
[Ross] Fifty Thousand fans cheering the beautiful blonde from Toronto.
In my book, the greatest Women's Champion in WWE history.
[Jerry] How many times have we loved to see Trish Stratus
walk down that aisle to compete here in the WWE ring?
[Trish] I can always go out there and entertain the fans.
If I'm doing that, I'm happy.
And when are you planning on telling Carlito?
Telling you what?
It says on WWE.com that Lita says you're retiring after Unforgiven.
[Jerry] Apparently, Lita must've overheard Trish making that statement
and Lita went right to the people at WWE.com,
and there it is on the front page.
This has been a decision that means one of the biggest decisions
I've had to make in my life
and I don't want people finding out like this,
you know, like I was gonna make an announcement and tell people
and I don't know why I'm so surprised.
That is something that Lita would do.
She would take my personal business
and, you know what, she's just a nosy bitch.
[Ross] There is a huge rivalry between these two tremendous athletes.
I was gonna call you out because I was gonna challenge you one last time,
one last match, Trish and Lita for the Women's Championship.
[Lita] I can think of no better way to end your career than beat you.
Just bring it, bitch.
[Trish] Thank you for coming on this amazing, awesome ride.
[Ross] It's hard to believe that the end of a magnificent
seven-year run is about to happen.
[Trish] I think if it's any time to go out, it's at the top of your career.
That's how legends are born because they go out on top
and you remember them for those moments.

[Lilián] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
and it is for the WWE Women's Championship.
Introducing first, from Atlanta, Georgia,
she is the Women's Champion, Lita.
[Ross] You know, King, I did a little research.
The wrestling historians have a lot of different stories
about the championship as recognized
by the WWE Women's title,
dates back to The Fabulous Moolah, 1956.
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Ross] Fifty years in the running.
It's better to remind everyone that the next time that the WWE
is on pay-per-view, it will be presented
by our friends from SmackDown,
No Mercy, October 8th,
from [speaks indistinctly] Raleigh, North Carolina.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Lita, a three-time Women's Champion.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[Ross] Trish Stratus's hometown here tonight in Toronto.
Fans anxiously await her arrival.
["Time to Rock & Roll" playing]
♪ Whoa It's time to rock and roll ♪
♪ This time I'm in control ♪
[Lilián] And introducing the challenger,
Toronto's own,
Trish Stratus!
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] What an amazing ovation.
A standing ovation from over 16,000 fans
for Trish Stratus' last match.
We referred to the long history of the women's title, King.
The Fabulous Moolah and Trish Stratus
have both held that championship
as recognized by the WWE on six occasions.
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Ross] Trish can break the record
and become the first-ever seven-time champion
by our score card here tonight
with a victory in her last match which happens to be here in her hometown.
♪ I'm the queen And I'll put you in your place ♪
[Jerry] And, you know, J.R., that would be a--
that would be a Hollywood-type ending.
-That would be something… -[bell rings]
…that movies are made of.
But in reality, Trish could also go out a loser here tonight.
[crowd chanting] Thank you, Trish! Thank you, Trish!
[Ross] Crowd acknowledging Trish Stratus with a huge thank you.
Thank you, Trish!
[Ross] You know, King, uh, Trish has won the Women's title
at five different WWE pay-per-view events
and has never lost at an Unforgiven.
Come on. Get off the rope.
Get off the rope. Now, come on. Back up.
[Ross] These two women have had a love-hate relationship
since they first crossed paths in 2000.
Oh, clothesline by Trish.
And Trish quickly-- not wasting any time
and Lita able to get off her back.
[Jerry] Oh, look at this.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Bending, uh--
head scissors.
twirling bird action there by Trish Stratus.
[Ross] And Lita getting on the outside,
you know, what'd be like for Lita to just to walk away and get--
lose the match by count-outs so she could keep her title.
-[Jerry] Oh, look at this! -[Ross] And Trish,
well, what she likes to call Air Canada.
Oh, there it is, another Thesz Press.
[Chad] Come on. Both of you--
[Jerry] Well, you're right, Lita could
just get herself disqualified intentionally--
oh, man, nice move by the way.
Or she could walk out of this match and remain the champion,
spoil Trish's dream, but Lita wants to spoil Trish's dream…
-[Ross] Oh, look at this. -…by beating her.
Oh!
[Ross] Lita taken right off her feet right down to the-- to the mat.
And those mats don't offer a lot of, uh, comfort, let me tell you.
[Jerry] We gotta haul all that blood from that Hell in a Cell
just freshly washed it off of these mats,
it's dangerous out there anyway
much less landing on your back on that floor.
[Ross] Amazingly, the mat cover was changed
during the opportunity we had
to look at that video package of Trish
so the ladies are not wrestling in pools of blood
that was left here moments ago from the Hell in a Cell.
And the Women's Champion, Lita, hammering now.
There's nothing in the world that Lita would like more tonight
than to beat Trish Stratus in Trish's hometown
at Trish's last match.
[Jerry] Right.
I said this before, I think all women really--
secretly hate each other but these two,
it's no secret, it's out in the open.
And we saw how cocky and arrogant Lita was early with--
I mean, that was-- that was the first time that Lita and Matt and Jeff Hardy
had been together in what, years?
-[Ross] Team Xtreme. -[Jerry] Yeah,
and what did she do?
Rubbed it in both their faces.
[Ross] And Lita driving that knee
right to the back of the head of Trish Stratus.
Women's Championship has changed hands once
in 50 years in Toronto.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] And now a personal sleeper hold applied by Lita,
Trish trying to back up with her vertical base.
Ironically, these two women were tag team partners…
-[Jerry] Ooh! -[Ross] …three years ago at Unforgiven.
[Jerry] Man, Lita ripping the…
-[Ross] The hair. -[Jerry] …hair off Trish
right up by the roots and then dumping Trish
right on the back of her neck.
Oh, not that pretty face.
Just by the hair, here. Look at that.
[Ross] By the hair to me.
[Jerry] Hair's still between the fingers of Lita.
[Ross] Indeed, Lita had a handful of hair.
She had to discard that and now,
Lita with a decided advantage in this--
Uh-oh, wait a minute.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Watch out, Trish, now.
And Trish now.
Don't get disqualified.
Trish breaking on, oh, four.
Be disqualified on five, remember that.
[crowd exclaiming] Whoo!
[Ross] Knife edge chop.
[Jerry] Well, Trish told us that-- oh, lucky hand.
Oh, man.
-[crowd exclaiming] -[Jerry] Oh.
[Ross] Nature boy, nature girl.
[Jerry] Here we go.
[Ross] Break up, warm shot by the number one contender.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Well, Trish said to herself that she believes the way
that legends are made is to go out on top.
Go out a winner on top.
[Ross] Trish again.
-Uh-oh. Well-- -[Jerry] Well, what happens, J.R.,
if Trish doesn't win here tonight?
If she goes out a loser in her last match?
[Ross] Lita and Trish hammering each other
in a real precarious position.
And both-- oh, my God.
Lita and Trish both falling from the top turnbuckle
and eventually landing there, did you see? On the floor.
[Jerry] Let's see that one more time. It's hard to express with words
how coastal this is between these two ladies.
[Ross] Well, when you start out as rivals
and then you kind of come together as they did few years ago
and then you see that the relationship
just will not work and that's where we are now.
This is a rivalry unlike any other
and as far as any divas I've ever been around.
[Jerry] Now, watch this, girls at home that are aspiring to be divas.
It's not all fun and games.
Oh.
[Ross] Trish in a barreling situation with those right hands.
Now, using her hair as well.
-[Jerry] What's this? Oh, goodness. -[Ross] Nice.
[Ross] Lita taking Trish right off that top turnbuckle
and that was a hard blow right to the lower back.
And now Lita
being a former member of Team Xtreme
in a moonsault turn, but nobody's there.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Oh, my.
-Oh, my. -[Ross] Lita, now nothing but canvas,
Trish now with the chance, with a--
two-count.
[Jerry] Check this out one more time.
Lita missing this huge moonsault.
That would've ended it, I think, but--
Hey, J.R., here's season Stratusfaction.
[Ross] Trish thinking Stratusfaction
and Lita had that one well scouted.
[woman] Oh, my God.
[Ross] As quickly as we have recognized it,
-Lita probably had it recognized before-- -[man] Will you marry me?
[Jerry] Well, there are probably no less than 500 signs…
-[man] Will you marry me? -…around this arena tonight saying
"We wanna see Sattus--or "Stratusfaction."
But you're right. Lita knew that was coming
at some point in this match.
[Ross] Crowd cheering loudly at the controversial redhead,
Lita, the Women's Champion.
-And now Lita with the cover… -One, two…
…the far leg hook and Trish with everything she had
able to kick out
and Lita infuriated, thought she had the cover--
I mean, the pin, there.
She indeed had the cover.
Come on. Hey. Hey, come on.
[Ross] Trish trying to cover her face up and Lita relentless.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] Referee Chad Patton checking with the number one contender.
Oh, kick right in the face.
And a shot to the kidneys.
In any event, carnage here tonight.
We've had injuries, as soon as we get any updates
on the status of the men in the Hell in a Cell,
I'll pass it along to you but--
[Jerry] Those are big matches, every one of these matches,
so important and every one of these Superstars putting--
well, putting everything they have on the line.
[Ross] Nice suplex, snap suplex by the champion,
hook of the leg, now, and another near-fall.
And Trish quickly went to her stomach after the kick out.
Oh, a hard kick to the ribs by Lita, The Women's Champion.
[crowd chatters]
Come on. Hey, let's get it off the rope now.
Come on. Let's keep it up.
[Ross] Oh. And this may not be that story-book ending
that we all have hoped or many of us had hoped.
-That Trish would receive in her hometown… -Come on, Trish.
…here at her-- her last match here tonight at Unforgiven.
[Ross] We're hoping that September 17th, 2006
would be a night that-- the young woman would never forget
and that may be but for the-- but for the wrong reasons.
Here comes Trish.
[Jerry] Lita getting right in Trish's face, gloating,
but now, Lita paying the price.
Oh, here we go.
-Look out, oh. -[Ross] Uh-oh.
Side Russian leg-sweep, fold over to the mount position.
Nice move by Lita, straight right hands and Lita says "Not tonight, baby."
"You're all mine, Trish, not tonight."
[scattered crowd chanting]
[Jerry] Well, Trish has certainly had nothing to be ashamed of.
-[Ross] Another cover. -One, two--
[Ross] And again, Trish expending so much energy from those near-falls.
[Jerry] I mean, even if she doesn't win her final match,
she's had a marvelous, great career in the WWE.
[Ross] Without a doubt.
Got to believe that someday she'll join The Fabulous Moolah
and Sherri Martel, perhaps, in the WWE Hall of Fame
with all Trish has accomplished.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Lita again with that sleeper, second time she's used it in this match.
Trish fighting.
[Jerry] This huge crowd trying to get behind Trish
and will her an-- and it's working.
[Ross] A modified neckbreaker, there,
on the surgically repaired neck of Lita by Trish.
-Well over 16,000 fans… -One.
…here tonight in the Air Canada Centre,
we're thankful that you're with us wherever you are around the world,
including our armed forces.
Thank you for all you do.
As, uh, Lita and Trish…
-And this, this is a slug fest. -[Jerry] Oh, this is great.
What a match this is!
[Ross] Irish-- oh, right across the bridge of the nose
-with the elbow and Lita-- -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] And Trish again, trying it one more time.
-[Jerry] It worked. -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Third time's the charm.
[Ross] Trish measuring Lita.
[crowd chatters]
-[Ross] Oh. -[Jerry] Chick Kick.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Chick Kick may do it,
-Chick Kick should do it. -[crowd] One, two--
[Ross] Chick Kick--oh! Didn't do it.
[Jerry] Oh! Trish can't believe that didn't work. I can't either.
[Ross] Near-fall here in this matchup for the WWE Women's title.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Ross] Oh, Lita,
Now we have Twist of Fate.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Stratusfaction, no.
Around… Oh, counter.
-[crowd] One, two-- -[Jerry] No.
[Ross] Trish had a pinning predicament, what's Trish doin' here?
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute. J.R., look at this.
[Ross] You got to be-- wait a minute, here.
-Wait a minute. -[Jerry] J.R., it's a Sharpshooter.
-[Ross] Sharpshooter, Sharpshooter. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] The crowd's on their feet, the crowd's gone crazy, the Sharpshooter.
Trish has got the Sharpshooter on the Champion.
[Jerry] Lita desperately trying to get to the ropes to save herself
but Trish has it locked in.
[Ross] That hold is as Canadian, as Canadian--
-[bell ringing] -[Jerry] Oh, my God!
-[Ross] It's over! It's over! -["Time to Rock & Roll" playing]
-And Trish wins with a Sharpshooter. -[crowd cheering]
[Lilián] Here is your winner by submission
and the new WWE Women's Champion,
Trish Stratus!
♪ This time I'm in control ♪
-[Ross] My God, I can't believe it. -[Jerry chuckles] Oh.
[Ross] Not that Trish didn't win the match,
but Trish Stratus using Bret "The Hitman" Hart's Sharpshooter.
[Jerry] You're right. It was not Stratusfaction,
but it's certainly supplied a lot of satisfaction
for this huge crowd here in Toronto and for Trish.

than the Legend Killer himself, Randy Orton.
[crowd cheering]
And of course, Randy,
you're about to go one-on-one versus Carlito.
What's going through your mind right now?
Well, first of all, you know, congratulations are in order.
Congratulations, Trish, good for you.
Thing of-- thing of it is, Todd, is there's one little problem,
nobody really cares about your retirement, of course unless you're Canadian…
[crowd booing]
…in which case you don't have much of a life.
But news is, as Trish is old news, she's the past.
And if we wanna talk about the past,
we refer to two years ago where in this very building,
yours truly became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history.
[crowd cheering]
So Carlito, think about this, all the apple-biting,
silly catch phrases, the stupid haircut,
it won't change the fact that Trish Stratus is a bitch.
-[crowd booing] -And tonight Carlito,
I'm gonna make you mine.

[Lilián] This contest is scheduled for one fall,
making his way to the ring from St. Louis, Missouri,
weighing in a 245 pounds, Randy Orton!
[Ross] And the question is, King, can Orton recreate that success
in the same arena that he became the youngest champion?
[Jerry] Well, we talked about
so many of these matches here tonight at Unforgiven
having what we refer to as, personal issues.
I mean, this is another one.
The personality of Randy Orton, the personality of Carlito,
and they've got a clash of personality. They got to try to settle things tonight.
[Ross] This is a first one-on-one meeting on pay-per-view
between Randy Orton and Carlito.
They're both former Intercontinental Champions.
Orton, of course, a former world's champion, WWE Champion.
[Jerry] You know this guy, you can feel the arrogance and the cockiness
that just oozes out of Randy Orton.
["Burn in My Light" fades out]

was in Madison Square Garden last week
watching his son competing, here.
[Jerry laughs] That's the Carlito club.
[Ross] At the Angry Hair Club.
[spoken] ♪ I spit in the face… ♪
[Ross] Wild and unruly and that's exactly what Carlito needs to be here tonight,
wild and unruly and emotional.
-And avoid an RKO. -["Cool" concludes]
[Jerry] Yeah but you got to stay focused that's what Randy Orton--
he's trying to get inside the head of--
-of Carlito. -[bell ringing]
[Jerry] He wants to make Carlito-- well, you know, like I said, not--
get unfocused, maybe get mad, get angry about the fact
that Randy Orton call-- called Trish Stratus a bitch.
Just can't let your emotions…
let your guard down.
[Ross] Collar and elbow tie up. Both men wrestling
-for position… -[Carlito] Okay, let go! Let go!
…from one corner to the next and referee Jack Doan calling for a break.
You can see the ferocity in how these two men are locking up
here, the, uh, young building blocks
here on the Raw brand of the WWE.
Come on!
-[spits] -[crowd exclaiming] Oh!
-[Ross] Oh. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] Ultimate show of disrespect by Carlito-- Well.
-That wouldn't happen, I don't think. -[Jerry chuckles] You're right. Carlito--
[Ross] Taking down Orton.
[Jerry] Carlito must not think Orton's cool
because Carlito spits in the face of people who aren't cool.
[Ross] And Randy Orton doesn't like to get hit in that pretty face,
much less get spat in the face.
And now, Orton, I think Orton has lost his cool.
And Carlito…
[Jerry] What could happen. Look at this.
[Ross] Great athleticism, landing on his feet.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry laughs]
Now, he's mocking Randy Orton.
[Ross] Dropkick merely wasting some time,
and he did, did Carlito.
Carlito-- oh, thumb in the eye.
Orton has shut down that contender's offense quickly.
Two great moves by Carlito then a thumb to the eye counters all.
And now, the aggressiveness of Randy Orton coming to the prompt.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Still wiping that, uh…
-[Jerry] Well, you can't blame him, J.R. -[Ross] Yeah, I know.
[Jerry] It's the ultimate embarrassment,
humiliation, when they spit in your face.
[Ross] Very insulting. No doubt about that.
And straight right hands by…
-[crowd exclaims] Oh! -…Randy Orton.
Carlito lining Orton up with those Ric Flair-like chops.
[Jerry] I really don't think that Carlito cares whether or not
Orton took offence to that spit in the face.
[Ross] Well, I don't either.
Oh, a nice smooth slam by Carlito.
Carlito, springboard.
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[Ross] Look at this,
-Carlito-- and a moonsault. -[Jerry] Again?
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Carlito, hooking the leg.
Carlito with a couple of real innovative moves
and Orton looks to be-- he got popped right in the mouth.
It looks like Orton is bleeding from the mouth-- I'm not sure.
It looked like-- it looked as if that was the case.
[Jerry] Well, Carlito looked as if he landed
right on Randy Orton's face with all his body weight.
Oh, boy. That's not gonna sit well with Randy Orton.
[Ross] Orton may have lost a tooth, I'm not sure.
He's certainly bleeding from the mouth one would expect it's--
I hope it's not an internal injury. Could be.
[Jerry] Speaking of bleeding, I wanna--
and hopefully we can get an update on the conditions of the McMahons
and the Big Show.
[Ross] Carlito again lining up Randy Orton.
Orton now, is in a tough spot having to taste his own blood
and Carlito elevated over the top, lands on the apron
and got hung up there by Randy Orton.
-Now, Orton's got advantage. -[Jerry] Look at that.
-[Ross] A beautiful standing dropkick. -[Jerry] Man. Oh, man.
[Ross] Man, that dropkick and--
Carlito folded himself up like an accordion on that security wall
and Orton bleeding from the mouth as you can see, profusely, there.
[Jerry] Something about it when you're in a match,
and suddenly, you taste your own blood.
-[Ross] And Orton-- -[Jerry] Starts that adrenaline pumping.
[Ross] And Orton now wants to cover, wants the victory, but a throw.
How close was that.
Orton again on the cover, again the cover, and another near-fall.
[Jerry] Check out this Orton dropkick one more time, look.
I got to admit, his dropkicks are a thing of beauty.
I don't know if anybody gets any higher,
any more elevation, he could kick you right between the eyes.
[Ross] Yeah. And beautiful extension of the legs, full power.
Everything has gotten like-- now look at Orton, stomping around…
[Jerry] Every body part that's exposed there by Carlito.
[Ross] All apply the foot… [hesitates] Vicious-- let me show you.
As we think we're in Carlito-- wait a minute,
there's the cover-- there's a cover right there and he couldn't--
[Jerry] I think this is where, like you said,
that Randy Orton's mouth got busted there
probably by the elbow of Carlito.
[Ross] Yeah, Carlito's left elbow coming down
right in the mouth of Randy Orton.
And now Orton with a vicious rear chinlock
and gripping the neck of Carlito right there in the center of the ring
in this one-fall match
between two of the brightest young Superstars on Raw.
[Jerry] And don't think for one minute that Randy Orton would not love
to make that blood flow from the mouth or the nose or the face of Carlito.
[Ross] Carlito fighting his way back up.
Again, both of these men know what is like to be a champion,
both former Intercontinental Champs,
but this was the very arena where Orton won it all,
became the youngest champion in WWE history.
Powerslam now, the cover and--
-[Orton yells] -[Jerry] Oh, man, that was a--
[Ross] Orton had a primal yell, there. out of frustration.
[Jerry] I thought he had a three-count, to be honest with you.
[Ross] Nice powerslam and Orton is hoping to replicate
some of this Air Canada Centre magic
like he did in SummerSlam 2004,
which he so accurately brought to our attention
in his rather indignant remarks before the match.
[Jerry] He never lets anybody forget the fact that he's a former champion.
[Ross] Orton obviously a handsome young man
and really doesn't like those knife edge chops.
He hates to get hit in the face.
[Jerry] And he would hate to see himself right now in the mirror
with that blood streaming from his mouth…
-[Ross] Oh, God. -…absolutely hate it.
That would be a tragedy.
And right now, the tragic end may be coming near
for Carlito in this matchup.
It has been an amazing evening here tonight at Unforgiven
and wherever you are, we want to thank you for being a part of it,
as Carlito fights his way back up
and the southpaw from San Juan gets nailed
with a right hand all the way from St. Louis.
[Jerry] I don't think Carlito could stand and trade punches with Randy Orton.
[Ross] Orton has that leverage advantage at six-four and--
[Jerry] That's what Carlito's got to use right there, those things.
[Ross] Quickness, speed.
Carlito's got that.
No doubt about it.
Carlito, the running Million-dollar Knee Lift
and a-- oh, did you hear that impact?
Man, what impact was that from the left side!
Carlito the second one,
could be-- but, oh, no, not enough.
Man, that was-- listen to this.
-[crowd cheering] -[Ross] Bam.
[Jerry] He just went right to a clothesline.
[Ross] Oh, what a smash, there.
Slobberknocker and a clothesline, hard-hitting. I'm telling ya.
Orton, out of desperation got a foot up to protect himself, but--
oh, too little, perhaps, too late, here.
Carlito looking for three trying to hook the leg
-Son of a bitch! -[Jerry chuckles] Oh.
[Ross] Carlito let us know how he felt about that.
[Jerry] He's a little frustrated but once again Orton's face slammed
right in-- his damaged face slammed right into that mat.
-[Ross] And, oh, no. -[Jerry] Look at that.
[Ross] Inverted backbreaker by Randy Orton.
That quick, that fast.
The momentum turns.
[Jerry] And that brought a smile to the busted lips of Randy Orton.
He knows how good he is.
[Ross] Orton's gotta regroup, here. Look at this.
That quick.
Bam.
[Jerry] Suddenly dropped every bit of momentum
for Carlito that he'd built up.
[Ross] Oh, wait a minute, now.
Orton is working himself into a frenzy here, it would seem.
-Orton-- -[Jerry] Maybe he's working himself
-into something else. -[Ross] With three letters in it.
"RKO." Look. Oh, no. backcracker!
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] RKO attempted, countered, and--
-but Carlito hit the backcracker. -[Jerry] You're right J.R.,
you just said, at a moment's notice,
the match can turn and it just turned again.
[Ross] These are two great young Superstars
and we got them on Raw and we're happy that we do,
but this is a rivalry,
one of those kind of rivalries that you could--
you could see this building and getting more intense.
Uh-oh, nice counter.
Carlito looking for a-- maybe a neckbreaker,
got countered, again, Carlito, the foot to the face,
quicken the pace.
Speed it up here, that's what Carlito's doing.
[Jerry] If I could see one flaw in Carlito, it's--
[Ross] Oh, look at this. Oh, no!
[Jerry] Oh, my God!
[Ross] Dear God Almighty, what an RKO!
-One, two, three! -[Jerry] Whoa!
-[bell ringing] -["Burn in My Light" playing]
[Jerry] Out of nowhere!
[Lilián] Here is your winner, Randy Orton!
[Jerry] I was just about to say, if I could see one flaw in Carlito,
it's that he has the tendency to take a little too much time to showboat
just a tad after a big move
and… damn, if it didn't cost him right there.
[Ross] This match could have gone either way.
I swear to God, it could have, but right out of midair…
Randy Orton stole this match if you will, out of midair, King,
intercepting Carlito.
[Jerry] I don't think you could say Randy Orton stole it.
I think you gonna give Randy Orton props.
Look at this.
That was a thing of beauty right there.
[Ross] Absolutely, absolutely.
[Jerry] The timing to catch Carlito in midair
turned that into an RKO and get the victory.
-That was huge. -[bell ringing]
[Ross] Orton can be a jackass,
but that was an amazing move.
[Jerry chuckling] He's a damn good jackass, right?
[Ross] An amazing, an amazing move.
-Well-- -[Jerry] What a match that was. Wow.
[Ross] You're damn right, it was. That was a great match.
Hey, I will pay to see that one again, anytime, anywhere.
Carlito and Randy Orton. What a night this has been, ladies and gentlemen,
and we're not through because the main event is still to come
and man, are the stakes high.
John Cena, King, must win.
Well, I'll tell you. We saw Teddy Long wringing his hands.
I'm wringing my hands thinking about the fact that we may lose
-John Cena from Raw. -["Run playing]
[Ross] "Tables, ladders, and chairs," Theodore Long,
the general manager of SmackDown is here
He's in the sky box all night
because if John Cena doesn't win the WWE title tonight,
Cena has already signed a three-year contract with SmackDown.
[Jerry] I know it and if you ask me, nothing could be worse but look,
there's Teddy Long, he's smiling
and he'll have to have that smile surgically removed
if John Cena doesn't win.
[Ross] In this round, we took a new twist in Cena's hometown at SummerSlam.
[dramatic music playing]
[Edge] Despite overwhelming odds stacked against me,
in John Cena's hometown…
[Ross] Oh, the brass knucks in the back of the head!
[Edge] …I emerged from SummerSlam victorious.
[Ross] Son of a bitch!
[Edge] I am still your WWE Champion.
I think we should remove the last remnants of John Cena
with, uh, a beautiful burial at sea.
And so ends the era of John Cena.
Please welcome a new era,
an era that's Rated R.
-[Ross] Oh, my gosh. John Cena! -[Jerry] Wait a minute!
[Ross] John Cena coming to get a piece of Edge!
[music intensifies]
[Cena] Time to swim, kid.
-[Jerry] No. -[Ross] Oh, my God!
-[crowd cheers] -I ain't going nowhere! [voice echoes]
[music stops]
[Edge] You do not put your hands on the WWE Champion
and throw me in that polluted, disgusting cesspool known as the Long Island Sound.
[suspenseful music playing]
You need to fire John Cena!
I want John Cena out of my life!
You want me gone? Fine.
Here's your ticket.
This right here is a three-year contract
straight off desk of Teddy Long of SmackDown.
I got no problem signing it.
I just need one thing from you,
and that's one more match for the WWE title.
You win, I sign on the dotted line, no questions asked,
and I'm out of your life.
Fine, I'll do it. With two conditions.
Number one, I name where the match takes place.
And number two, I name what kind of match it is.
Deal.
[Edge] It's gonna be Unforgiven in my hometown, Toronto, Canada!
And I've decided what match it's gonna be.
[Jerry] Oh, my God.
[Edge] A match you've never had.
A match I've never lost.

[Ross] Will you listen to this ovation,
indeed a huge home field advantage for Edge
and perhaps, in the shadow of Toronto
who dreamed, quite frankly, I'm sure, of this moment as a young man.
[Jerry] Well, this may be the first time I've ever heard anyone cheer this guy,
but you're right, almost everyone in this arena are on their feet
for their hometown favorite.
I'm telling you, it's a huge advantage for Edge,
that's why he wanted this match here in Toronto.
[Ross] Well, Edge has never lost a "tables, ladders, and chairs" match.
You think all the way back in 1963,
when "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers became the first champion,
he ever thought he'd wrestle in a TLC match?
I don't think so.
[Jerry] Well, let me tell you something else,
all this week that man right there, Edge, had been sucking up every bit of the media
throughout the entire country of Canada, but especially right here in Toronto.
He's been on every talk show.
He's been on every radio show, he's all in.
He's he's had them call him.
He's done everything he can to get this crowd,
this entire city behind him tonight.
[Ross] I saw Edge on a Toronto Blue Jays game this week
and that's on broadcast,
but the bottom-line is, he's one hell of a champion.
-["Metalingus" fades out] -This is his match. He's never lost it.
[Jerry] And nobody would go to a Blue Jays game
-unless they are really trying to suck up. -[crowd booing]
[crowd chanting] Cena sucks! Cena sucks!
[Jerry] It's gotta be a little bit disappointing for Edge here,
and some of those boos out there.
[crowd chanting] Cena sucks! Cena sucks! Cena sucks!
[chanting continues]
[Jerry] "Cena fears the Canucks." [chuckles]
-["The Time Is Now" playing] -[crowd booing]
[Jerry] Well, I'm givin' up.
-His fans are on their feet, here. -♪ Krrr, Amadou ♪
[Ross] Well, you know, King, I'll tell you,
and you got to believe that,
that Edge manipulated himself being introduced first.
So, he got that great ovation and preconditioned his audience
to get to boo the hell out of John Cena, here at Edge's hometown of Toronto.
[Jerry] Well, Cena has one more obstacle to overcome and it's a huge obstacle.
There's a Cena fan.
-[Ross] This match has… -[Jerry] There's some more.
…no disqualifications, no count-outs,
no pinfalls, and no submissions.
The match can only end when one man can climb the ladder
and retrieve the WWE Championship belt
that is currently around the waist of the Champion, Edge.
[Jerry] Well, I'm sure that--
I'm sure there are some fans that have come across the border
from the United States to be here tonight, to cheer for John Cena.
You gotta look at the confidence written all over the face of Edge.
-♪ Krr, Amadou! ♪ -♪ Your time is up, my time is now ♪
[Ross] This is a hot ticket and has been for several weeks.
John Cena, the number one contender for the WWE title.
[Jerry] Talking about a hot ticket J.R.,
this place, this arena sold-out before the card was even announced.
[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] Canadians love the WWE. -[bell ringing]
[Lilián] This is a "tables, ladders, and chair" match
and it is for the WWE Championship.
Introducing the challenger from West Newbury, Massachusetts,
weighing in at 248 pounds,
he is a former two-time WWE Champion,
John Cena!
[crowd booing]
[Ross] It is a rough game for Cena.
[Lilián] And from Toronto, Ontario, Canada…
-[crowd cheering] -…weighing in at 250 pounds,
he is the Rated-R Superstar
and the WWE Champion,
Edge!
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] You know, King, this has got to be an emotional moment for Edge,
-a mixed bag of emotions. -[Jerry] I'm telling you.
This is like-- is this the Stanley Cup or what, J.R.?
-What the hell? -[Ross] Amazing atmosphere.
Senior referee, Mike Chioda shows what's on the line tonight
and that's what it's all about, the Rated-R belt
that signifies the WWE Championship.
No matter the design, it still signifies the most coveted prize
in sports entertainment, the WWE title.
[Jerry] And that coveted prize, that Rated-R championship belt
is about to be hoisted up high.
Tables, ladders, and chairs are about to come into play.
There's gonna be a lot of pain dealt out.
[crowd chanting] Cena sucks! Cena sucks! Cena sucks!
[Ross] Will this crowd get in Cena's head
or will it motivate the number one contender.
[Jerry] Well, these fans right behind us, they are certainly not Cena fans.
Oh, we got-- I don't even know why we should sound like we're surprised.
This is Edge's hometown.
This is Toronto, Canada.
This is why Edge wanted this match, here.
[Ross] I'm not really surprised, King.
I mean, I think it's a smart move by Edge.
-[Jerry] Well, I'm surprised to hear… -[bell ringing]
…almost 17,000 people cheer for Edge.
[Ross] Here we go. And this is-- we're up and running, here.
Again, no pinfalls, no submissions, no disqualifications or count-outs.
Only one way to win,
climb the ladder, retrieve the title belt which is hanging high above the ring.
-[Edge grunts] -[Ross] Oh. Cena--
[Jerry] Cena has a little bit of advantage on one hand,
-in the fact that he's a brawler. -[split crowd booing]
[Jerry] That's what these matches usually entail.
-[Edge grunts] -[split crowd cheers]
[Ross] And Cena has never been in a TLC match.
[Jerry] Listen to this crowd, this is great.
[Ross] Cena with not a lot of experience, as a matter of fact, none in a TLC match.
-Edge has never lost one. -[Jerry] Oh.
-[split crowd booing] -[Ross] Yeah.
Cena with hard shoulder blocks taking down the reigning WWE Champion.
[Jerry] And not one, not two, but now three big shoulder blocks.
[Ross] Cena keeping it very basic.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Oh! Oh, my goodness.
[Ross] And Cena infuriated by the slap, taking down Edge.
Cena really could ground and pound ya.
You've seen a lot of different strategies utilized in these matches.
Nice neckbreaker by Edge, but remember you can't go for a pinfall.
[Jerry] Well, this thing is so personal between these two
and-- oh, here we go, J.R.
We knew that Edge was not gonna wait long in introducing--
-well, the-- -[Ross] The hardware.
[Jerry] The hardware to John Cena that this match is all about.
[Ross] Chair, legal.
-[Jerry] Look out. Woo. -[Ross] Oh!
[Ross] Edge swinging for Cena's head-- face.
Cena able to duck.
Irish whip far side and Cena downstairs.
Fisherman's suplex.
Nice move by Cena, much to the displeasure
of, uh, this pro-Edge crowd in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
[Jerry] Well, I know it's not Cena's expertise but somewhere,
Cena's gonna have to break out the hardware himself.
Oh! Oh, man.
[Ross] Impaler DDT.
And right now would be a great time for the cover
if it were applicable, but it's not.
[Jerry] Oh, you're gonna have to climb a ladder and go way up there
to get that championship belt.
Oh, boy.
[Ross] Edge, uh, tossing that steel chair in the ring.
[Jerry] How many tables and ladders are there around the ring?
Tons of them.
Well, in every side of the ring, chairs, ladders, and tables.
[Ross] Edge has got two, uh, steel chairs.
What's he gonna do here?
-[Jerry] Who knows? -[Ross] What is Edge thinking here?
[Jerry] Just remember, he's never lost one of these matches, J.R.
So, whatever he's gonna do, he knows it's gonna work.
[Ross] Edge trying to-- trying to suplex Cena.
-Cena counters. -[crowd booing]
Ross] Cena, now…
can Cena muscle up Edge?
Well, Edge--
oh, God!
[Jerry] Oh.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Oh, my God. What impact on those two steel chairs.
The fans or many of fans are loving that action.
It looked like Cena was gonna reverse Edge for a moment.
[crowd chatters]
[Jerry] Well, these fans are gonna be proud of Edge.
I mean, every time he goes into a WW ring--
WWE ring, he's announced as the WWE Champion from Toronto, Canada.
-Sure they're gonna cheer for him. -[Ross] Edge setting up that, uh, table--
the chair right under the, uh, WWE title championship belt…
-[Jerry] Anyway-- -…that's been hanging there.
[Jerry] How much do Canadians have to cheer for anyway, J.R.?
[Ross] And-- oh, look out.
[Jerry] Oh.
Oh!
[Ross] Edge taking down Cena, after Cena took Edge off that ladder.
[Jerry] You heard Edge say, "This is my match."
[Ross] Edge says, "This is my match and my house."
"I've got the experience."
"I've never lost this match."
"I'm not planning on starting tonight."
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] I gotta hand it to Edge.
He went into Cena's hometown of Boston at SummerSlam
-and retained the WWE title. -[crowd member] You suck, Cena!
[Ross] That's winning a rogue game himself
and now another ladder is being, uh, manipulated.
[crowd chatters]
-[Jerry] Ladder, chairs. -[Ross] That Edge is so ingenious.
-[Jerry] Oh, good grief. -[Ross] Well, that didn't take
a lot of imagination to hit your opponent in the face with a ladder.
[Jerry] Well, Edge is out there rearranging the furniture.
-Now, he's just-- -[Ross] Edge is up there
amongst his people now.
[Jerry] Now, he's gonna try to rearrange John Cena's face with the furniture.
[Ross] John-- Edge dropkicking that ladder
right back in Cena's face.
And we said about the strategy, here.
Look at this. Watch this.
[Jerry] All the way from that restraining wall
into the ladder, into Cena's face.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] A little Home Depot dropkick.
My gosh, right in Cena's face.
[Jerry] Oh, in this kind of match, Edge has experience doing things that,
like I said, he knows will work that John Cena's never even attempted before.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Edge has done so many amazing things
in these TLC matches over the years,
so many memorable-- uh-oh.
Battering ram may be a weapon, yes. And--
[Jerry] Oh, wow.
[Ross] Cena able to move out of the way and Cena, with a big roundhouse right.
-[crowd boos] -[Ross] The fans don't like it.
-Another shot. -[Jerry] Look out!
[Ross] Oh, my God!
Oh, what a hiplock takeover.
-[Jerry] Good grief. -[Ross] And Edge's back--
his lower back, his kidneys,
his legs landing on that ladder
with a basic hiplock.
[Jerry] Wait, wait, wait. What is John Cena realizing here?
[crowd chanting] Fuck you, Cena! Fuck you, Cena!
Watch this and listen again.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Ross] And, uh, there's no way to land and protect yourself.
And Cena now maybe thinking FU time.
Edge trying to hold on for dear life.
[Jerry] I think he's trying to FU Edge outside the ring. Yes.
-[Ross] Maybe-- -[Jerry] Through those tables.
[Ross] Edge and Cena exchanging hard right hands.
You can hear the smack of flesh all the way up here where we are.
Edge is teetering.
[Jerry] Oh!
[Ross] But he caught Cena with that elbow.
[Jerry] Cena wanted desperately to put Edge through those two tables.
That would probably give Cena enough time to climb that ladder, grab that title.
[Ross] Cena's own momentum did him in the backside on that occasion.
And now Edge, up to take a chance and this whole environment
of TLC is about taking chances.
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] He got his chance, but the chance didn't pay off.
-[Ross] Not a smooth landing. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Ross] Bad place to sit.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Cena now going at the--
he's getting more familiar where the apparatuses…
-[Jerry] Let's see how-- -…or apparati.
[Jerry] Let's see how creative John Cena could get with tables,
and ladders, and chairs.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Well, some of the fans here expressing their emotions
and their feelings for the number one contender for the WWE title.
Edge, still in a precarious position sitting on the top turnbuckle.
[Jerry] I don't-- I really don't think that these fans and their chants
are gonna affect John that much.
Talking with him earlier today, he had said he was expecting this.
[Ross] Edge, uh, straddling that turnbuckle.
These boys went north and south.
And now Cena, the front facelock,
but Edge is holding on.
Edge has almost braced himself to that top turnbuckle.
Now, look at Edge hammering and clubbing away on Cena's back.
-Oh, my God. -[Jerry] Look out, here.
[Ross] Edge trying to drive Cena and I think it was a--
the table was a little farther out than Edge thought.
No. I thought-- no.
I just-- if you watch, I just think Cena was clutching those top ropes.
He was not gonna be powerbombed through that table if he could help it
and he hung on to those ropes.
-Oh, no! -[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] Well-- -[Ross] Powerslam through the furniture.
Cena, back and spine-first through that table.
[Jerry] Well, Cena avoided it once but not so lucky the second time.
[crowd] Cena sucks! Cena sucks! Cena sucks!
[Ross] Cena not getting any positive motivation, here.
[Jerry] Check this out, coming out of the corner, picked up…
-[Ross] Oh! -…and slammed right through the table.
[Ross] That broken table being taken out of the ring, which is a smart thing.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] Not that there won't be another table used,
Lord only knows.
[Jerry] Wait a minute. Watch this now.
Oh, my goodness!
[Ross] Edge taking a hell of a chance running that ladder,
crossbodying Cena from the inside of the ring over the top to the out.
[crowd chanting] Holy shit! Holy shit!
[Ross] Oh, God. That's a--
that's an amazing, amazing risk that the WWE Champion just put himself in.
[Jerry] Well, you're right. Check it out one more time, that ladder.
I think Edge's momentum made that ladder fall out before Edge expected it to.
He was lucky to be able to get out and land on John Cena.
[Ross] And how these men are still moving around is amazing to me.
The condition that they're in, the will to be the WWE Champion
is what's driving both Edge and the number one contender.
And Cena tossed inside.
[Jerry] And you just don't realize how much more dangerous this match becomes
when you introduce these ladders, and these chairs and tables.
[crowd chatters]
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
[Ross] Edge again with that-- got one table-- one ladder--
he's got a ladder in the ring and now, two chairs.
[Jerry] Well, the table right in front of us
set up with the ladder laying across it, that's--
[Ross] Cena just-- look at Edge's eyes.
Edge's eyes are faraway to look, man.
[Jerry] Well, Edge-- I mean, that had to hurt him
as much as he did John Cena a few moments ago
[Ross] Damn right. Here comes the steel chair!
[Jerry] Oh, God! Did you hear that?
[Ross] Nothing Cena could do. Cena-- I don't think he saw that one coming.
Cena trying to get the feeling back in his arms.
[Jerry] Uh-oh. Wait a minute.
[Ross] Cena, he's gonna-- he-- uh-oh.
[Jerry] Uh-oh. Edge is putting Cena in position…
-[Ross] Oh, my God, King. -…for you know what, don't you?
[Ross] You gotta be kidding.
[Jerry] Oh, the dreaded ConChairTo.
This is what Edge made famous.
Oh, no!
-[Ross] Cena escaped disaster. -[crowd boing]
Edge was looking for the ConChairTo to scramble Cena's brains…
-[Jerry] And listen to these-- -…between those two steel chairs.
[Jerry] And listen to these fans.
They're disappointed that they didn't see John Cena's brain scrambled.
-Oh! -[Ross] Cena…
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -…with that blockbuster move
driving Edge face-first into the steel chair lying there on the canvas.
And the number one contender for the WWE title,
former two-time champion, John Cena, now, sees opportunity.
[crowd chatters]
[Jerry] Oh, here comes that-- another ladder left lying in the ring.
Edge's face or head was bounced right off that metal chair laying on the floor.
Now, what's John Cena got in mind, J.R.?
[Ross] Cena, thinking, here.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] And Cena's got some damn sure bad intentions in mind, if you ask me.
[crowd booing]
On account he can handle it.
-[Jerry] Oh, it's like a guillotine! -[Ross speaks indistinctly] to survive.
And that ladder could give a damn lesson-- wait a minute. Wait a minute.
-[Jerry] Oh, my God. -[Ross] Cena, STFU on Edge
between the ladder!
[Jerry] I mean, he's gonna have to tap out but it's not gonna mean anything.
[Ross] Edge is tapping out, but it doesn't matter,
but Cena showing you that he could be as bad as any son of a bitch around.
[Jerry] Oh, Edge tapped out but now, I think he's passed out.
[Ross] Remember, submissions and pinfalls…
-[Jerry] Mean nothing. -…mean zero, maybe less than.
We got chairs flying all around this place and--
[Jerry] Oh, good grief!
[Ross] Right between the eyes, Cena.
And Cena's on a mean streak, here.
He just dotted the i's of the WWE Champion
and Cena's face tells one hell of a story.
-Cena wants this WWE title. -[Jerry] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
And he will do any damn thing he can to get it.
It's that obvious.
[Jerry] Look at this.
Cena just F-U'd the ladder right onto Edge!
[crowd cheering and booing]
[Ross] This crowd may not like it,
but that was a damn sure physically intense maneuver by John Cena.
Look at this.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Ross] F-U to the ladder.
F-U to Edge.
Remember, the WWE Championship is hanging high above the ring.
The only way to win this match is to climb the ladder and retrieve that title.
[Jerry] Oh, whoa.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] Modified powerbomb slam.
Cena muscling up Edge with the high-impact stuff.
[screams]
[crowd booing]
[Jerry] Cena's in the zone now, J.R.
You can't see me.
Uh-oh. Wait, what?
[Ross] Cena just-- about to get a brainstorm or a--
Cena can't get to-- he can't get to the title.
[Jerry] I think every now and then,
John Cena realizes that this is a "table, ladder, and chair" match.
[Ross] Wait, wait-- wait a minute, King.
He's not gonna-- oh, and a Five Knuckle Shuffle
from near the top of the ladder,
Cena throwing his right hand right into the face.
He may have broken his wrist, did Cena,
but right now, I don't think Cena could get give a damn.
[Jerry] What a move.
Now what?
[Ross] The fist drop from near the top of the ladder.
[Jerry] More tables.
We got tables around the ring.
We got tables inside the ring.
John Cena up on nearly the top of that ladder, huge fist drop.
[Ross] Edge, still lying somewhat defenseless on the canvass
and Cena now moving.
And there's a shot high above the ring of the WWE Championship.
[Jerry] Edge, still laid out from that fist--
I love a good fist drop, J.R.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] Cena is thinking--
[Jerry] Oh, oh, oh.
Edge just snatched that metal chair away from the ref.
Watch your back, John.
[Ross] Look out. Look out. Look out. Look-- oh!
-[Jerry] Woo-hoo. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] It is going, going,
it is gone.
The WWE title chances for John Cena
may have just been knocked right out of his head.
[Jerry] Goodnight, Nurse.
Yeah, Edge knows it's over.
[Ross] And this crowd has rejuvenated Edge here in Toronto.
[Jerry] Listen.
Oh, that's sickening.
[Ross] That is the epitome of this sickening thud, steel meeting cranium.
And Cena knocked literally out of his feet, here.
[Jerry] He's not exactly on his feet but he is out.
[crowd chatters]
[Jerry] What else is under this ring?
-[Ross] Another table, King. -[Jerry] Another? How many-- good grief.
[Ross] That's another table.
I don't know how many tables these men have gone through.
[Jerry] There are still tables at ringside with ladders on them,
tables under the ring.
[Ross] Well, these men don't wanna run short.
It is a TLC match, only the second TLC match for a WWE title
in the history of this company.
-[Jerry] What is Edge doing? -[Ross] What in the hell?
Cena is out on his-- Cena is defenseless.
Cena is not even moving after that shot to the head.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Oh, no, do not-- I don't think.
-[Ross] My God. -[Jerry] Edge--
[Ross] Oh, no.
This crowd is on their feet.
I don't think-- there's two tables.
-No. -[Jerry] Look out. Look out!
-[Ross] Oh, my God! -[Jerry] Right into the fans. Oh, no.
-[crowd booing] -[Ross] Cena just saved his soul
and his chance to become WWE Champion
by taking Edge off the top to the security wall.
Edge almost went into the front row.
[Jerry] Well, we're seeing things here
and this is gonna be one that you just don't think they're possible.
Watch Cena at the last second realizing Edge was coming
and then look where Edge went face-first into that wall.
[Ross] I don't know if Cena was playing possum
or he just instinctively…
did what he did but…
-[Jerry] Please. -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Now what?
More ladders.
[Ross] That's a big ass ladder.
Apparently, from our side, it's not bad.
[Jerry] You're right. That is bigger, higher than the other ladder.
That ladder is taller than the other ladder from the floor almost.
[Ross] I'm not a real good handyman, but that looks like about a 15 or--
[Jerry] Sixteen foot, I think, is what they come in.
[Ross] Sixteen-foot ladder. Well, you'd know.
Cena now-- wow, yeah, that's a big one. [chuckles]
Cena, with that huge ladder now.
That ladder will you take you right up to the WWE title.
That ladder will take you to the promised land.
And there's what it's all about, the WWE Championship.
[Jerry] Man, this is your chance. Get up there.
Edge is-- where is Edge?
[Ross] I think Edge is still on the outside.
Edge is still on the outside.
Cena, in uncharted territory, here.
[Jerry] Oh, there's Edge.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Edge, trying to fight, climb back into it.
There's Edge.
Edge, spear!
My God, ladder to ladder,
body to body!
[Jerry] Edge just flew through the air
and speared John Cena right off the ladder!
[Ross] Edge just speared his way right back into the contention
to retain the WWE title.
Cena holding his midsection, may have broken some ribs.
Man, Cena's head cracked that mat too, King.
[Jerry] Check it out one more time, see if we could see that.
-Oh, yes. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] That's a-- that's a concussion territory
and Cena may be starting to cough blood too
as he's holding his, uh, diaphragm there.
And now Edge has an opportunity.
I guess Cena's-- this is a gut-check for John Cena.
[Jerry] But I think it's John realizing-- oh, is he…
[Ross] A huge gut check for Cena.
Edge just steps away, one rung at a time to retain
-the precious, coveted WWE title. -[Jerry] Look at Edge. Look at Edge, J.R.
Edge may be on his way, here.
Cena, look.
-Oh! -[Ross] Cena-- oh, my God.
-[Jerry] He caught him. -[Ross] The strength.
Look at the strength of Cena.
Cena muscling up Edge.
[Jerry] My gosh.
[Ross] Cena trying to-- oh, no. Wait. No, no!
[Jerry] Oh, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait! Look at this!
[Ross] Cena trying to F-U Edge, almost backfired on him.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Ross] Oh, God!
Oh, my God, that's bad.
Cena throwing Edge--
another-- a human body right into that ladder.
The strength of Cena is frightening.
-[Jerry] Well, Cena's to-- -[Ross] And the way Edge landed
was even more frightening.
[Jerry] Cena's to the point he just doesn't give a damn what happens to Edge.
If you don't believe me, watch this.
-Oh. -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Edge-- man, I'll tell you what.
Edge is-- Edge may be a nolo contendere at this juncture.
[Jerry] See, I don't agree with this.
I think-- I think John Cena could climb that ladder right now to get that title,
but it's gone past that right at this point.
[Ross] Maybe Cena's thinking insurance, King.
[Jerry] He wants to bust Edge's brains out of, here.
[Ross] They've got, uh, an amazing rivalry, these two.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] A shot to the side of the head.
Edge gonna turn away.
And Cena, I don't know if he got all the chair that he wanted.
He sure as hell wanted the chair that Edge delivered to Cena's skull
a few minutes ago.
[Jerry] I think he got all that he needed.
[Ross] I think you're right about that. That's the key term.
It may not be what you want but it's all you want.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] And now John Cena just stepping closer and closer,
and closer to the WWE title.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] He's got it. He's got it.
Cena's standing on-- wait a minute.
[Ross] Oh, no, Lita.
[Jerry] Lita?
Look out!
[Ross] Lita. Oh, God!
God almighty.
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] Cena has crashed.
He has burned.
He is mangled, is John Cena.
Thanks to Lita.
And the referee cannot disqualify anybody.
There's only one way for this match to end.
[Jerry] John Cena's broken in half.
Watch this. Thanks to that bitch, Lita.
I can't believe that she comes out here and does this.
Watch this.
-How far is he falling? Good God! -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] From that 16-foot ladder over the top rope,
out of the ring, through the air, through the table, to the floor,
that's where John Cena went.
That was his journey.
[Jerry] Now, look at the look of determination.
I think Edge feels it.
[crowd chatters]
-[Ross] Cena-- -[Jerry] Cena's done.
[Ross] Referees are checking on John Cena and Cena may be done for the night.
If Cena can recover from this, it will be miraculous
because Edge has again, never lost this match, a TLC match, ever.
[Jerry] If Edge could get that ladder pulled directly beneath that title,
he'll have it.
[Ross] Edge just gotta be a little blurry-eyed himself
after what he's put-- he's been put through
by John Cena and that witch, Lita.
And Cena-- look at Cena.
Somehow, John Cena is willing himself.
It's not this crowd.
It's John Cena willing himself to get back to this match.
[Jerry] But Edge is up there. Edge is already on the top.
All he has to do is stand up.
-Look at Lita. -[Ross] And then Lita,
-Lita with the-- oh, no. -[Jerry] Oh!
[crowd exclaiming] Oh!
[Ross] Lita hit Cena.
Cena rammed into the ladder from a blunt of the chair shot
and-- so, Lita has inadvertently knocked Edge right off the ladder.
[Jerry] As much as Lita helped Edge earlier when she knocked Cena
off the ladder, now she's hurt Edge.
[Ross] Oh, what an evil bitch.
[Jerry] Wait a minute.
Oh.
-Oh, my God. -[Ross] Oh, Cena, now--
[Jerry] F-U on Lita!
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] I think Lita has just checked out of this match.
I don't think we're gonna see any more Lita involvement.
The former Women's Champion
has been cancelled.
[Jerry] Get those tables out of the way. You don't need--
[crowd chatters]
[Ross] Cena's-- what the hell is John Cena thinking about?
[Jerry] Well, he knows he's in the driver's seat right now.
[Ross] Cena looking back at the WWE Championship.
[Jerry] He's thinking. He's thinking, "What should I do?"
"Hell, I could just climb the ladder and win this match." Do it. What the--
[Ross] That's what you came here for, John.
-You came to win the WWE title. -[crowd booing]
Cena, placing that ladder.
[Jerry] Well, this is the smartest thing that Cena can do.
Edge is history.
Win this thing.
Stay on Raw.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Cena climbing to the top, but wait a minute. Wait a minute.
There's the WWE Champion, Edge.
Edge back in the fray here, King, back in the equation.
The WWE Champion climbing his side of the ladder.
[Jerry] These guys were about to go toe-to-toe at the top of this ladder.
This is dangerous, J.R. This is real dangerous.
[Ross] A 16-foot ladder, this is death-defying, career-ending.
-Both men reaching for the WWE title. -[Jerry] Who's got it? Who's got it?
[Ross] Who's got the-- oh, my-- oh, my God.
Oh, my God! John, don't do this, John!
-Good God almighty! -[Jerry] Oh, no!
-[Ross] Oh! -[crowd cheering, screaming]
[Ross] Edge has just been F-U'd through not one but two tables
from a 16-foot ladder
from maybe the baddest son of a bitch we've ever seen.
[Jerry] Hey, look. Look at this.
[Ross] John Cena.
Yes!
-[Jerry] John Cena has won! -[bell rings]
-["The Time Is Now" playing] -[Jerry] He's won!
[crowd cheering]
♪ You can't see me, my time is now ♪
[Ross] Good God, what a match.
[Lilián] Here is your winner and the new WWE Champion,
John Cena!
[Ross] I'll tell you one thing.
John Cena damn sure earned this victory here tonight.
Whether you love him or you hate him,
how can you not respect John Cena with what he's gone through here tonight?
And the same can be said for the price that Edge has paid
in his attempt to retain the title.
[Jerry] Boy, you're right, against all odds.
I don't think I've have ever seen a deck
stacked more against someone.
Over 16,000 fans cheering for his opponent but still, you're right.
John Cena earned the WWE Championship here tonight.
[Ross] John Cena came here with his father,
a man that was physically assaulted by Edge in Cena's own home,
his father's own home.
His dad sitting here at ringside.
What a moment for him.
A salute from father to son.
John Cena coming into as hostile an environment
as anybody I ever recall, King,
in the WWE and leaving with the most coveted prize
in sports entertainment.
♪ See what happens when the ice age melt ♪
♪ You see monetary status Is not what matters, but it helps ♪
[Ross] God almighty, what a match.
[Jerry] Boy, did you see as John Cena walks out of here,
the environment, the territory, didn't get any more hostile
than it was here tonight in Toronto.
But John Cena, be proud.
-[Ross] There-- -[Jerry] You earned it.
[Ross] There stands the man, folks.
The champ is here tonight at Unforgiven.
[Jerry] Check this out. I thought it was over, here.
As Lita tipped that ladder, John Cena through that table.
[Ross] And right in front of his own father,
he went through that table.
But Lita then inadvertently causes the crash and burn to Edge.
And my God, this is great.
[Jerry] Have you ever seen anything like that,
an F-U off a 16-foot ladder through two tables?
I don't know yet-- we don't know yet if Edge survived it.
[Ross] My God, I've never seen anything like that, but let me tell you this.
John Cena did what he had to do,
what he had to do to leave Unforgiven
as the WWE Champion.
The champ is here and his name is John Cena.
[Jerry] What a night. his name is John Cena.
