00:00:00Inside, ladies and gentlemen, congratulations to Chris Benoit, what a hell of a victory.
00:00:04Well, ladies and gentlemen, momentarily, two men will leave their locker rooms
00:00:07to make their way into the hell in the cell tonight.
00:00:10The question is, who will be able to return to that locker room later tonight, King?
00:00:16Well, I can tell you one thing, neither one of these men will ever be the same.
00:00:19You see that demonic cell being lowered down now.
00:00:22We're just moments away from this, JR.
00:00:24Two men that at one time are best friends.
00:00:27They've gone from being in DX to ending up in hell.
00:00:34HBK, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, the game.
00:00:38One of the greatest rivalries in the history of this industry.
00:00:42The World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Benoit,
00:00:45with the title on the line against Shawn Michaels.
00:00:48There it is!
00:00:49Sweet 10 music, and this one should be over.
00:00:52Hey, look at that for the damn minute.
00:00:53Triple H is it?
00:00:54I can't believe this.
00:00:56Triple H has just ruined Shawn Michaels' chance.
00:00:59Look at the World's Champion.
00:01:01The following is a 20-man battle royal,
00:01:04and it is to determine the number one contender at Bad Blood.
00:01:09We're down to two.
00:01:10King got the low blow.
00:01:12He's hurt.
00:01:13Triple H is going to win this damn thing after all.
00:01:15Here we go!
00:01:17What a damn!
00:01:17A suspension from Michaels has caused Triple H to max
00:01:21for the World's Heavyweight Paddle.
00:01:25That is it!
00:01:26That is enough!
00:01:28And Bad Blood, it will make some noise!
00:01:31This is Shawn Michaels' hell in a cell!
00:01:38He wants to fall off.
00:01:43Two tons of unforgiving steel.
00:01:46The most demonic structure in the history of the WWE.
00:01:51Shawn Michaels enters my world,
00:01:54and I have never lost a hell in a cell match.
00:01:59Because unlike Shawn Michaels, I have no remorse.
00:02:03I have no conscience, and I will stop at nothing to end Shawn Michaels' career.
00:02:15Shawn Michaels and Triple H have had some classic confrontations in the past.
00:02:20These two men, as we all know, have been at one time closer than brothers.
00:02:24But tonight, after seven years, it's come to this.
00:02:28A match that was designed for one reason, and that is to be the end.
00:02:36I hear the words you say to me.
00:02:39I see the way you look at me.
00:02:41I know what's on your mind.
00:02:43So stand up, get up, back up now.
00:02:46Just stay away.
00:02:47I feel the hate you push on me.
00:02:50I see the things that you can't see.
00:02:52I know what's on your mind.
00:02:54So stand up, get up, back up!
00:02:58You had a chance to break me down.
00:03:04But there's nothing at all.
00:03:07So just stay away from me.
00:03:10HBK Triple H.
00:03:12This is one of the great rivalries.
00:03:14It's all gonna be over.
00:03:16The brutal finality of this end of confrontation.
00:03:20Only it's Sunday.
00:03:21Shawn Michaels, you and I go straight to hell.
00:03:26You had the chance to break me down.
00:03:32There's nothing at all.
00:03:34So just stay away from me.
00:03:39Now just stay away from me.
00:03:42Just stay away from me.
00:03:48Just stay away from me.
00:03:50Time to play.
00:03:55Time to play.
00:03:56Time to play the game.
00:04:01It's all about the game.
00:04:17And how you play it.
00:04:18All about control.
00:04:19And if you can take it.
00:04:21It's all about your debt.
00:04:22And if you can pay it.
00:04:24It's all about me.
00:04:25And who's gonna make it?
00:04:27I am the game.
00:04:28The following is a Hell in the Cell match.
00:04:36And it is given for one ball.
00:04:38Introducing Burks from Brennan, Connecticut.
00:04:41Weighing in at 265 pounds, Triple H.
00:04:48Triple H has never lost.
00:04:49They've won a one match in Hell in the Cell.
00:04:51He has beaten Cactus Jack, Kevin Nash, Chris Jericho.
00:04:56Triple H has beaten a brawler, a mauler, and a technical wrestler.
00:05:01Three diverse, different styles.
00:05:03And the game has come out victorious each and every time.
00:05:09But none of those men, in all due respect, are the show stoppers.
00:05:12Well, it's hard to beat the game at its own game.
00:05:18And it seems that Hell in the Cell is Triple H's game.
00:05:22That's why I wonder there, why?
00:05:24Why on earth would Shawn Michaels have, no, not have,
00:05:28demand this match here tonight for finality
00:05:31to end this rivalry once again and for all?
00:05:37But it's almost like a, hey, you're right.
00:05:40It's gonna happen.
00:05:41It's gonna be finality, but it's almost like
00:05:43Shawn Michaels has his own debt wish
00:05:45to be in this kind of match with that man.
00:05:48The Hell in the Cell is like Satan perversely waiting on new victims.
00:05:56And from San Antonio, Texas,
00:06:07the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.
00:06:12That's a moment of ovation for the man with the warrior soul, Shawn Michaels.
00:06:22Look at Shawn Michaels' request.
00:06:27The places he's not been before in years to survive this.
00:06:35This is Survival Sunday for both that man Triple H and that man Shawn Michaels.
00:06:43Well, Shawn Michaels better be able to survive.
00:06:46He better be able to get to that place, J.R.
00:06:49If not, that man Triple H could and will try to end Shawn Michaels' career right here.
00:07:00And if Triple H can't get it done, let's not discount the effects of the Hell in a Cell.
00:07:08The Hell in a Cell, the keeper of blood, flesh, and career.
00:07:14There's only been ten Hell in a Cell matches in the history of this country.
00:07:20Only 13 men have been put inside this Hell in a Cell, and I would tell you, and
00:07:27I think they would tell you, they were never the same again.
00:07:31Shawn Michaels is looking up at this demonic cell.
00:07:37He's contemplating exactly what you're talking about, J.R.
00:07:41Here they are, here it comes.
00:07:45You might as well say the steel executioner is being lowered around
00:07:51this very ring in two human beings.
00:07:55It's like a huge black cloud falling down on both of these men.
00:08:01As wicked and unforgiving as Triple H is by his own admission, so is this structure.
00:08:08Nobody's getting in, and these two men aren't getting out.
00:08:15This is a one fall to a finished match.
00:08:18And to tell you I have a peaceful, easy feeling about this would be total fabrication.
00:08:27I don't think, Jair, I don't think either man was overly anxious to get this thing started.
00:08:35I mentioned on heat, this was like a wrestler's prison, the house of detention and depravity.
00:08:40These are the last precious few moments that either of these men are ever gonna be.
00:08:48Well, the same, they're ever gonna be the way they are right now.
00:08:51You're right.
00:08:52They will both be changed after this match.
00:08:54This rivalry has gotten so perversely personal.
00:09:01Collin Elbow tie-up and Triple H will have a size and strength advantage.
00:09:06Michaels can counter with speed, quickness, and heart.
00:09:10Not to say the game doesn't have heart.
00:09:12He's got plenty of, and a big right hand, and another right hand by the game.
00:09:17One, two, one, two.
00:09:18Michaels turning the table here.
00:09:19One, two, one.
00:09:23My pants chopping her right hand.
00:09:25One, two, one.
00:09:27I was gonna say this match starting off at great next pace.
00:09:32But the hatred that exists between these two men, that's all you can expect.
00:09:36These guys aren't gonna be in there to wrestle each other.
00:09:39They're not actually in there to try to pin one another, J.R.
00:09:41They wanna end this thing, once and for all.
00:09:45There's no time limit, no disqualifications.
00:09:48Hard elbow, that got Shawn right in the, they've got him right in the Adams after.
00:09:55As we say in Oklahoma, it's her throat in most places.
00:10:00Can you see that one more time?
00:10:02Better yet, listen to it.
00:10:03Man, that's some serious impact points, and Michaels taking down the game and measuring
00:10:11those right hands on Triple H, who shoves Michael off of that position.
00:10:18Michael's throwing the outside lands of his people right back in.
00:10:22Yes.
00:10:23And Michael again, the lupinous press, Michael's so tenacious, so driven,
00:10:29in this rivalry to end it here tonight.
00:10:32The fans here at Greenside counting off those big right hands by Shawn Michaels.
00:10:39In the forehead of Triple H.
00:10:43Every time that was thrown over the top rope, out to the floor.
00:10:46The ringside area surrounded by the hell in the cell.
00:10:51And don't think that that cell is not gonna come into play.
00:10:54Each one of these men know it's there.
00:10:56They know when they wanna use it.
00:10:58They know they can't get out of that door.
00:11:00It's completely chained and padlocked.
00:11:04It's HPK champion.
00:11:06I hear the fans here.
00:11:08In the moment, Ohio, nobody there for a right hand of Michaels counters.
00:11:12For right hands of his own.
00:11:13For right hands of his own.
00:11:17And cannot get counted out.
00:11:18Referee is only in there to count somebody's shoulders.
00:11:21Or to ring a bell for submission.
00:11:24Referee cannot make too many mistakes here.
00:11:27No mistakes here, man made a calculated area there, lowered his head.
00:11:33Michaels capitalized quickly with his spinning swinging neck record.
00:11:37Cover, one fall to a finish, again, no disqualification.
00:11:43There is no time limit, no count outs, and no stopping for blood.
00:11:48I hope I haven't jinxed these two men.
00:11:50I think that little pinning attack is going to be the first one.
00:11:56That attempt came strictly out of instinct there from Shawn Michaels.
00:12:01I don't think he would have been content to get a win over the place that easily, do you?
00:12:06I think he wants this to be more final.
00:12:08I think Shawn Michaels wants to know once in a draw that Shawn Michaels,
00:12:14HBK, is the better man of the two.
00:12:16That's what this is all about.
00:12:19Who is the better man, we'll find that out tonight.
00:12:21He's already bleeding, he's already oscillated,
00:12:25it looks like his back is as well.
00:12:27It's a very unforgiving steal, as you say, JR.
00:12:31No doubt about it.
00:12:32Every inch of it can cut you in some kind of way.
00:12:34Hell in a Cell is where careers go to die.
00:12:39So unforgiving, that's good, and it will, you know, do it.
00:12:50I'm trying to be, oh man, the blade's head almost chopped off.
00:12:55Blades is bleeding now.
00:12:56I'm trying to open that cut up, but hard right hand, you know,
00:13:01I've heard legends that men have broken their hands in these matches just as legal as a headlock.
00:13:13Well, and another way to get your hand broken or your fist broken is just what happened to Triple H earlier.
00:13:20You back somebody's head up against the middle of one of those middle posts,
00:13:23and then swing, and if they move out of the way, your fist is gonna strike that with steel.
00:13:27Boom!
00:13:29Triple H, meaning Shawn Michaels that foot right in the face.
00:13:33He's trying to regroup here.
00:13:35Again, Triple H has caused some distance there.
00:13:38You see that Triple H is bleeding, that's probably what caused it right there at the end of that.
00:13:43Not severe at the moment.
00:13:46And the game.
00:13:48Man.
00:13:52This is the term unforgiving.
00:13:57The cell doesn't care.
00:14:02Triple H's face being rearranged.
00:14:06It looks more like hamburger than a wrestler right now.
00:14:11Stand-mare by Michaels just to get the game down.
00:14:14So Michaels can stomp Triple H square in the face.
00:14:18There it goes again.
00:14:20Under that demonic cell.
00:14:23And I've said this on more than one occasion.
00:14:25I know from experience.
00:14:26It does something to you, JR.
00:14:27You just can't help but have some sort of a feeling when you're in a match like this.
00:14:33And you suddenly see your own blood.
00:14:35Nobody ever likes to see your own blood.
00:14:37You know that, JR.
00:14:38Absolutely.
00:14:39Why would they?
00:14:40Hard knock down by Shawn Michaels.
00:14:43He blocked the inverted atomic rock.
00:14:45Michaels walking very gingerly.
00:14:48He's a guy that was out four years with a bad back.
00:14:52Michaels hip.
00:14:53He's hip.
00:14:54He feels lower back.
00:14:55Don't wanna diagnose.
00:14:57But Michaels is not right, as you can tell.
00:15:00He's walking crooked.
00:15:01And he hopes to be walking period when this match ends.
00:15:05He's got some muscle spasms or there's some more structural damage there.
00:15:27I hope I'm wrong on the ladder.
00:15:30I can say that you better hope, Shawn better hope that it's only muscle spasms.
00:15:34And that's one of the calls right there, that hard Irish lift.
00:15:38Triple H is one of the most powerful men ever here in the WWE.
00:15:43And Triple H doesn't miss a trick.
00:15:45We don't call him the cerebral assassin for nothing.
00:15:48And he said before this match, if he sees any spot, any point of weakness,
00:15:52any kind of injury, he's gonna go right after it.
00:15:55And I think that's what we're about to see now.
00:15:57He senses it.
00:16:02Triple H with every bit of strength and velocity he could muster.
00:16:07Sending Michaels for the proverbial ride with the Irish whip.
00:16:11Again.
00:16:12And man, that elbow.
00:16:15This is getting hard to watch.
00:16:18Michaels back is definitely hurt.
00:16:19I don't know what was the first thing that happened to him.
00:16:23But you can tell you, you noticed at first, he's walking crooked.
00:16:28Now he's in serious trouble.
00:16:30And knowing the four years of hell that Shawn Michaels went through away from
00:16:36what he loved to do, all because of that bad back and the surgery.
00:16:41And then coming prophetically enough into hell in the cell and having this
00:16:46happen to him is more than ironic.
00:16:50I hate to say that Shawn Michaels deserves this, JR, but you gotta remember,
00:16:56everybody out there needs to remember, Shawn asked for this match.
00:17:00Well, you did that.
00:17:01No, he didn't ask for it.
00:17:02He demanded this match.
00:17:04He did ask, demand, and look at the standing suplex.
00:17:08Look at the strength of Triple H.
00:17:10That takes amazing strength.
00:17:12With the blood rushing to the head of Shawn Michaels.
00:17:15It's a disorienting move.
00:17:16High impact, cover, and Michaels kicks out instinctively.
00:17:20But look at Michael's back.
00:17:22The kick out on that move, Michael's back is contorted.
00:17:26It's twisted, King.
00:17:27It was as if Michaels has been in a car wreck.
00:17:30And I don't know, at this point, JR, I don't know what he can do about it.
00:17:35I mean, you know, this is the kind of injury that is, I mean, it just takes,
00:17:41you have to recuperate.
00:17:42It takes time to get, and it's not like Triple H is gonna let up for one second.
00:17:46And the other threatening aspect of this match, the referee can't stop this match.
00:17:53There's a backbreaker by the game.
00:17:55And the referee got a near fall.
00:17:56Michael's kicking out.
00:17:57The game going for the win with the backbreaker going for the cover there.
00:18:02But the referee is totally helpless in what he can do.
00:18:05There's no discrimination.
00:18:07That steel chair is as legal as any maneuver that Triple H chooses to execute.
00:18:14Yeah, I agree, JR, but if he uses a Triple H at this point in this match,
00:18:19uses that steel chair, that's like ten about to cruel and unusual punishment.
00:18:24Triple H can be described as terminally dangerous.
00:18:30And Shawn Michaels could not have gotten up without the help of the ropes and
00:18:35being picked up by the game and over the game.
00:18:37Somehow, the resilience of Shawn Michaels is absolutely extraordinary.
00:18:43But the game just shut down the extraordinary will to compete of Shawn Michaels.
00:18:50And this is gonna be sick.
00:18:52Michaels goes downstairs.
00:18:54Michaels, once again, Michaels saves himself at the last second.
00:18:57The desperation kick by Michaels.
00:19:00There's no telling where his brain has been scrambled with that steel chair if Triple H has been able to connect.
00:19:10Somehow Michaels needs to stay on the offense.
00:19:14And Michaels needs to grab that chair himself.
00:19:16Michaels is a good opportunity for Michaels to stay in the ring and try to get that back straightened out.
00:19:24And Shawn through Triple H out of the ring just to try to buy some time.
00:19:28I thought so too, but apparently not.
00:19:31And Shawn Michaels' courage in his guts, his will to win just cost him there.
00:19:37No, no, no, no.
00:19:41The cage, the pose to the cage.
00:19:47My God, this is carnage.
00:19:49What do you say, Michaels, huh?
00:19:53You wanna continue the match?
00:19:55Talk to me, Shawn.
00:19:58Referee is asking Shawn Michaels if he wants to quit.
00:20:01I don't think that word's in his vocabulary tonight, do you?
00:20:04Absolutely not.
00:20:05But, you know, Michaels has got a young family.
00:20:08Get up, you sissy!
00:20:09He's a father.
00:20:10He's got other things that he has to be concerned about.
00:20:14And what would happen if Shawn was incapacitated or in so much pain that he
00:20:18couldn't even say that he quit?
00:20:20Shut up and think what the end result would be.
00:20:25We know the game is gonna show absolutely no surcease on Michaels.
00:20:30Triple H can be as viciously vile as anyone that we have ever witnessed in this ring.
00:20:38Triple H, he just glances off her shoulder to see what part of this cell to use next.
00:20:50As if it wasn't bad enough for the game to assault Michaels' lower back in the ring.
00:20:56Now the game is using this structure, this hell in a cell, almost as a tag team partner.
00:21:04That's, like you said, the chair, everything about this, the cell is fair game.
00:21:10It's just like the suplex.
00:21:13And I think now the time has come that Triple H wants to finish, Shawn.
00:21:17Steel chair placed in the center of the ring.
00:21:20And no, no!
00:21:21My God!
00:21:23Jesus!
00:21:24Golly almighty!
00:21:27This has gotta be it.
00:21:29And Michaels kicked out!
00:21:30And I'll tell you, I appreciate the passion.
00:21:35Right.
00:21:36I respect the man as much as anybody, but I almost for a moment there wish that Shawn Michaels
00:21:44had not kicked out.
00:21:45And I'm saying that, ladies and gentlemen, because I'm concerned about Michaels' physical welfare.
00:21:51Well, I understand that you wish that he had not kicked out.
00:21:54And I think that shortly Shawn may wish that he had not kicked out.
00:21:57But I can assure you, Triple H has some bad plans with that chair.
00:22:01One more.
00:22:03Backbreaker literally may have happened.
00:22:08This has gotta be, they don't stop!
00:22:11John Michaels refusing to stay down.
00:22:13And Michaels kicking out.
00:22:15Left shoulder!
00:22:16Right shoulder!
00:22:17Kicking with his legs!
00:22:18And everything is heart and soul to muscle.
00:22:21And the game has gotta be getting a little frustrated, albeit.
00:22:26Triple H is in the proverbial driver's seat.
00:22:30Well, I'm gonna tell you, I don't see frustration in Triple H's face.
00:22:34I see determination.
00:22:35I think he's thinking right now, Shawn, if this is the way you want it,
00:22:39then this is the way you're gonna get it!
00:22:41I can't describe that any better than what you saw.
00:22:50A steel chair across the spine, and this is it.
00:22:54I'll tell you what, I keep, I got a bad feeling in my gut, King.
00:23:02I don't, I mean, Michaels, four years away, and he's looking at Shawn Michaels trying
00:23:06to use Triple H to pull himself up, his will to compete.
00:23:11Speaking of Shawn Michaels, is absolutely extraordinary.
00:23:16And Michaels with everything he's got.
00:23:19Right hand shot, and a shot to the eye by the game.
00:23:24Well, I just, at this point, after the damage that's been done.
00:23:29No, it's not, it's reversed.
00:23:31Triple H was hip-locked over the top rope to the floor, and Michaels just crumbled.
00:23:40Michaels collapsed after reaching down to his socks to hip-lock the game.
00:23:46Desperate men do desperate things, and that was an act of pure desperation by Shawn Michaels,
00:23:51but I think it worked.
00:23:52It did buy him some time.
00:23:53Check this out one more time.
00:23:55Abdominal stretch is what the game was going for, but then it was reverse or
00:24:00and then the hip, hip toss right out of the ring.
00:24:04Shawn Michaels using that shoulder, the battering ram, his left shoulder, and
00:24:09Triple H just, one time, shame on you, second time, shame on me.
00:24:14I'm surprised Triple H could have a bad back after being thrown out of the ring like that.
00:24:18Walked into that one.
00:24:23As a wrestler, right hands, and more right hands.
00:24:28The game has done everything he can at Michaels, and has not kept Michaels down for three.
00:24:34It's gotta be first radio.
00:24:36Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, here it is.
00:24:37This is it.
00:24:38Pedigree time.
00:24:39Low blow is legal.
00:24:41The steel chair is legal as we pointed out, and so is that low blow.
00:24:47That went downtown.
00:24:50I was just about to say, JR, that I still, you talk about the game being frustrated.
00:24:54I still don't see it, or I didn't see it up until this point, in the game's face.
00:24:59I think he's so focused.
00:25:01I don't think the game is in any hurry tonight to end this.
00:25:04I think he's just determined to get it done.
00:25:06And Michaels going right back to that vulnerable area, to say the least.
00:25:14Now on three occasions.
00:25:16Only so much you can stand.
00:25:17And a right hand, Triple H knocked down, but how much pain is Triple H in?
00:25:21After those three low blows.
00:25:23Game now, in big time trouble.
00:25:27Shawn Michaels with a cover, and a kick out by the game.
00:25:32Michaels did not have the strength on that to hook a leg and cinch up the game.
00:25:37Triple H knocked to the outside, that knee to his lower back.
00:25:47Michaels trying to fight for verbally fire with fire here.
00:25:50And Triple H faces first into the hell in a cell, and the cell, I'm sure, enjoys it.
00:25:57Well, I think this is a smart move by HBK.
00:26:00He needs to, he now needs to use that cell as a tag team partner.
00:26:06Because one-on-one, well, Shawn hadn't been faring too well.
00:26:11Man, bad ride.
00:26:14Worst landing.
00:26:16Unindable destination.
00:26:18Look at that again.
00:26:23Once again, listen to this.
00:26:25Impact.
00:26:27That's a human being, a body, being thrown into an inanimate object.
00:26:33This steel steps, I guess, the steps are the cousin of the hell in a cell.
00:26:38They're all in it together.
00:26:40Anything that's inside that demonic cell is, as you say, buried in.
00:26:45That was a handful of hair.
00:26:51Uh-oh, my God.
00:26:52You gotta be kidding me.
00:26:54This could do it.
00:26:55You gotta be- This could be a difference maker.
00:26:57Pile driver on the steel steps.
00:27:00My God, Michaels, deep into God Almighty.
00:27:03Michaels elevated.
00:27:04Up those steps, right onto the floor.
00:27:09That was probably as big a difference maker as that Pile Driver would have been.
00:27:14On the steps being thrown off, back dropped off those steps.
00:27:18Michaels may not be able to recover from this.
00:27:21Yeah, check this out from a better angle here.
00:27:23Man, you heard the splat of a man's spine on the floor.
00:27:30Look out.
00:27:31And now what?
00:27:32I guess it's- Your guess is as good as mine.
00:27:35Whatever's under the ring can be utilized.
00:27:40Under the ring, over the ring, around the ring.
00:27:44Your chair.
00:27:45Don't tell them what's under it, Henry.
00:27:47And a slap shot by the game right on the spine of Shawn Michaels.
00:27:56And Michaels has gotta be from head to toe in as much excruciating pain as a human being should ever have to experience.
00:28:06Now what is going through this twisted mind of Triple H.
00:28:12He's capable of any kind of dastardly-
00:28:15Look at this.
00:28:16He's on the screen.
00:28:17My God, they'll steal steps.
00:28:19They'll toss the steps in the ring.
00:28:22Like they were nothing.
00:28:23Mike Yelda trying to reason with the game.
00:28:25That's-
00:28:26Yelda having to save his breath.
00:28:28Triple H on the steps.
00:28:30And a drum to Michaels.
00:28:31And Michaels.
00:28:32About one shot.
00:28:35On the solar plexus.
00:28:37On Triple H.
00:28:38Another hard one.
00:28:43That's a try.
00:28:45Flying forward by Shawn Michaels.
00:28:48The guy with the referee had tried to get those steel steps out of the ring.
00:28:51And somebody could just inadvertently fall on or against those things and that would end-
00:28:55And Michaels, how in the hell was he doing?
00:28:58Michaels just nipped up.
00:29:00Yeah, but he's back down.
00:29:02Back down just as fast.
00:29:03That back has to be killing him.
00:29:05Michael trying to stand.
00:29:09Most in the game to come get me.
00:29:12Come get me.
00:29:13Here I am.
00:29:14I got something for you.
00:29:16It could have been.
00:29:17Oh, Michaels looking for sweet ten music.
00:29:20Oh, my God.
00:29:22You better be kidding me.
00:29:23Michael's score just bounced off those three steps.
00:29:28And the only music I think we're gonna hear is the fat lady singing.
00:29:32It's over, JR.
00:29:34Michaels hit.
00:29:37Oh, my God.
00:29:38Oh, my God.
00:29:40Michaels has been deeply lacerated.
00:29:43And the blood running through his eyes, through his lips and mouth.
00:29:49I think his entire face was smashed.
00:29:51That blood's coming out of his mouth.
00:29:53Come out of his nose.
00:29:54Oh, no.
00:29:55Come on, Triple H.
00:29:56Enough is enough.
00:29:57I know it's hell in a cell, but Michaels is a human being.
00:30:00I told you, just look at the look on the face of Triple H.
00:30:03Triple H.
00:30:04It's not frustration.
00:30:05It's determination, JR.
00:30:07Nothing is gonna stop that man from destroying Shawn Michaels.
00:30:10Don't do it.
00:30:11Just don't do it.
00:30:12Reach in your heart.
00:30:13Oh, my God.
00:30:14He did it.
00:30:15Yeah.
00:30:16Triple H did it.
00:30:17And Shawn Michaels blood is all over those steel steps.
00:30:20He asked Triple H to reach in his heart and find some little part of compassion for
00:30:27Shawn Michaels.
00:30:28The only thing I can say is that mercifully, you've got to believe that this is over.
00:30:34There's a cover.
00:30:36They got it.
00:30:37They got it.
00:30:38They got it.
00:30:39My God, Shawn.
00:30:40Listen to this, the steps.
00:30:45Man.
00:30:48See Shawn Michaels head bounce off those steel steps.
00:30:52Absolutely.
00:30:54I just think it right now, King Shawn Michaels has got to be just instinctively kicking out.
00:31:02He can't be, he's not able, can't be mentally able to put thoughts together in any kind of,
00:31:08any kind of succession or any kind of logical order.
00:31:12It's all on guts and instinct.
00:31:14He is in, Shawn is in serious trouble.
00:31:20Can Shawn Michaels survive this damning career altering ride through this steel encased hell in a cell?
00:31:30Shawn, huh?
00:31:31You want hell?
00:31:32I got it.
00:31:33You can feel the hatred between these two men.
00:31:39You can feel the angst between these two men.
00:31:42Shawn!
00:31:43Who at one time, as you said, were closer than brothers.
00:31:48We all remember their DX days.
00:31:50And it has come to this.
00:31:54Get up!
00:31:55Get up!
00:31:56It has come to this where someone's career could very likely be ended here.
00:32:02Triple H asking, they're telling Shawn, asking, you want hell?
00:32:06Shawn, like a battering ram.
00:32:09Michael's face and head like a battering ram.
00:32:12And again, Triple H could give a damn.
00:32:15And the cage, the cell, cares less.
00:32:19You know, JR, I thought I'd never say this in a hell in a cell match, but I honestly think that the referee should,
00:32:27well, the referee should think about stopping this match.
00:32:33I can't disagree with that.
00:32:34I will not disagree with that.
00:32:36Michael's face got about a hamburger.
00:32:39That's a human, that's epidermis being left on that cage.
00:32:44And Michael is going to be scarred and marked for life after this.
00:32:52Once again, this is the match that Shawn Michaels wanted.
00:32:57Why, I don't know, but this is what he wanted.
00:33:00Triple H, indeed, calculatingly cruel, is the taunt of pain.
00:33:06A man that likes to hurt people.
00:33:09Especially someone that he was so close to.
00:33:13Triple H has never had an ally like Shawn Michaels was in Triple H's career.
00:33:19Never, and he never will again in my view.
00:33:22Well, Yarn Anderson's spine buster just shook Michael's liver, and I hope there's not enough.
00:33:30Well, you said Triple H's never had an ally like Shawn Michaels.
00:33:33He's obviously never had an opponent like him either, but all while they were friends,
00:33:37all while they were allies in DX, there was always that question, JR.
00:33:41Which one of these men were the better of the two?
00:33:45It was always there, it was always in the back of each one of their minds.
00:33:49And that's what this is all about tonight.
00:33:51That's where we are.
00:33:53That's why these two men are in hell together.
00:33:55Michael's lower back, killing it.
00:33:57He's losing a lot of blood.
00:33:59But by God, Shawn Michaels is not gonna quit.
00:34:02Michaels continues to fight with everything he's got, with every bit of his heart and soul.
00:34:06But the game just seems to be too much here tonight.
00:34:11The sleeper applied by Triple H.
00:34:14And this is such a strategically sound, perfect maneuver for this point in time in the match.
00:34:25And it might be a fitting end to this L in a Cell.
00:34:28Shawn Michaels left unconscious in a pool of his own blood.
00:34:33And that's what the game, you gotta believe.
00:34:35You gotta know, weren't all along.
00:34:36And Michaels trying to get an adrenaline rush here.
00:34:39Look at this crowd behind him.
00:34:40And they are.
00:34:41And the game.
00:34:43Man.
00:34:44With face first into the top turnbuckle.
00:34:46At least, at least Michaels now has brought himself a little bit of time.
00:34:52Game got addled there.
00:34:58Trying to shake it loose.
00:35:00I agree.
00:35:01He's in La La Land right now.
00:35:03But he's gonna have to refocus.
00:35:05There he goes.
00:35:07This guy.
00:35:08Triple H, the game.
00:35:09Here we go.
00:35:10Pedigree time.
00:35:11No, countered.
00:35:12Michaels countered Pedigree into the DDT.
00:35:15Oh, man.
00:35:16That could do it.
00:35:18Michaels countered to Pedigree, which I guarantee you it would have been over.
00:35:23Into the DDT.
00:35:24And Triple H's head that time was the one that was doing the bouncing.
00:35:30Michaels, he's only breathing.
00:35:36Thank God for that.
00:35:38But he's not moving.
00:35:39It's Shawn Michaels.
00:35:40Triple H.
00:35:41It's Shawn Michaels.
00:35:43Triple H.
00:35:44There's still some life left in the game.
00:35:48The boy.
00:35:49Beginning to stir.
00:35:50Gregory surveying the action, but there's no count outs.
00:35:54All right, there's no telling how much blood Shawn Michaels has lost here.
00:36:01Well, Michaels reaching.
00:36:03And Michaels now has the weapon that Triple H brought into this ring.
00:36:09That steel chair.
00:36:11Triple H may.
00:36:13But may, I was about to say, he may regret bringing that chair in.
00:36:18And right at this moment, I'm sure the game regrets bringing that chair in the ring.
00:36:22That was a deadly chair shot that you see the results.
00:36:26Oh, boy.
00:36:27That's how deadly it was.
00:36:29Well, the game's been opened up badly.
00:36:34This is the supreme gut check with both men bleeding.
00:36:39Listen.
00:36:40One shot still has that chair, JR.
00:36:45There was no blocking that.
00:36:47You can only imagine what that does to a big brain.
00:37:00I mean, you can't be the same.
00:37:02There's a cover.
00:37:03And Michaels got all the hands on the down.
00:37:06And this time it was a game.
00:37:08What's scary about those chair shots is, you know, naturally, from that impact, your skin is lacerated.
00:37:15You start to bleed on the outside.
00:37:16But unfortunately, your brain is bruised.
00:37:19You start to bleed on the inside as well.
00:37:20That's what's so dangerous.
00:37:21Oh, face buster by the game.
00:37:26And Michaels, the impact taking him all the way outside.
00:37:30Look at Michaels, as soon as he hit the floor, he's looking under that ring.
00:37:33Is there something?
00:37:34Yes, there is something.
00:37:35You have got to be kidding me.
00:37:36You have got to be kidding me.
00:37:38I told you there was no telling what was under there.
00:37:41There's actually a wicked little smile on the face of HBK.
00:37:45The man that introduced ladders to the WWE, Shawn Michaels,
00:37:50is putting a ladder and these fans here in Columbus, Ohio have come to their feet here.
00:37:58JR, you asked earlier, you queried.
00:38:01Could Shawn Michaels reach down and get to the depth of where he's been before?
00:38:05I think he's answering your question right now, isn't he?
00:38:08Absolutely.
00:38:09Michaels won the first ever.
00:38:11My God!
00:38:12Look out!
00:38:13The ladder's a battering ram.
00:38:14Right into the bloody face of the cerebral assassin.
00:38:18Back to the ladder.
00:38:20The ribs.
00:38:22Into the abdomen.
00:38:24Everything legal in this environment.
00:38:30As sad as it is to say, there can be no disqualification.
00:38:35Check out this ladder to the face of the game.
00:38:38And then after that, Shawn broke it into the rib cage.
00:38:42And now look, it's Triple H.
00:38:45Back it off.
00:38:46Wait a minute.
00:38:47He's not saying he's had enough, is he?
00:38:48That's negotiating.
00:38:49And the Michaels on the right hands.
00:38:51He backed as far as a corner.
00:38:53And he was cornered all right.
00:38:54And Michaels now taking advantage.
00:38:56Michaels tripled that right hand.
00:38:57Oh, no.
00:38:58Look out!
00:38:59Oh!
00:39:00In the far corner.
00:39:02No!
00:39:03That's the second time.
00:39:06Triple H has had a ladder used on him now four times.
00:39:10And I don't think Shawn is through yet.
00:39:15He came here to settle this thing tonight.
00:39:18He asked for this Hell in a Cell.
00:39:19He demanded this match no matter what it takes.
00:39:22Michaels is gonna finish the job here.
00:39:24What do you say, Triple H, huh?
00:39:26You wanna get up?
00:39:27The referee asking Triple H if he wants to call it quits.
00:39:30Look at the blood just was pouring from his head.
00:39:32Look at that, JR.
00:39:33What do you say, huh?
00:39:36And I think he heard the Triple H certainly telling the referee emphatically no in so
00:39:41many words.
00:39:42There's gonna be no quitting by Triple H or Shawn Michaels in my estimation.
00:39:50God, what that's impact.
00:39:51The ladder, the top throat, the floor, surrounded by steel, a bloody man on the floor.
00:39:57And now what is Shawn Michaels thinking?
00:39:59I don't know, but I said it earlier about Shawn Michaels.
00:40:02I think he would have been good if this match could have ended.
00:40:05But now I'm beginning to think that Triple H ought to maybe think about living to fight another day.
00:40:13Barely, barely moving.
00:40:16And not that Shawn Michaels is moving that quickly either.
00:40:20Look at this and listen again.
00:40:22Triple H needs to realize that there'd be no disgrace if he just stopped his thing right now.
00:40:27Come on, come on, uh.
00:40:31Realnap King, it wouldn't be.
00:40:32It wouldn't make you no lesser man.
00:40:33It's almost like...
00:40:36I hate to use this term for Michaels, but it's almost like Michael's cards is possessed.
00:40:40Well, he has that killer instinct, all right?
00:40:42He wants to finish this so that there's never any doubt in the future.
00:40:47One thing about it,
00:40:56tonight we're gonna find out who is the better man, who is the best of all time.
00:41:01Right now it just doesn't look like Triple H, does it?
00:41:08I'm in shock, I'm almost speechless at this,
00:41:12the beating that both of these men have administered to each other.
00:41:15Just, they've both lost a great deal of blood.
00:41:20Their bodies have gotta be ravaged with pain.
00:41:24I still can't get over that, that just that wicked little smile we saw earlier on
00:41:29the face of Shawn Michaels when he first found that ladder.
00:41:32And that ladder has certainly been a difference maker.
00:41:34Michael setting the ladder up, or who knows, the game.
00:41:40The game, look for the pedigree, he's not been able to hit that pedigree.
00:41:44Look out, look out, look out here.
00:41:45And Shawn Michaels hit that hill about, the game catapulted face first,
00:41:51right into that ladder.
00:41:53And the game leaving his own blood all over the canvas.
00:41:58Everywhere he falls, there's a puddle of blood left.
00:42:01Shawn Michaels now just hoping to fall across.
00:42:06Shawn Michaels does, the arm over.
00:42:07He's got the cover to get burrito.
00:42:10I don't even know how Triple H is capable of hearing the referee's counter.
00:42:14He probably just feels it out of instinct.
00:42:17But the thing about it is that Michaels has, his strength is so lessened.
00:42:21He's lost so much blood.
00:42:24He's not able to hook up these pinning combinations.
00:42:27Both of these men, their strength has to be waning.
00:42:30Somebody's gotta hit the home run here.
00:42:33But does either one of these men have enough strength to put it out of the park anymore?
00:42:37Well, that's the question.
00:42:38That remains for the answer.
00:42:39Whoa, look at that!
00:42:40Man, that could have been the end all right there.
00:42:44Michaels went right to that back.
00:42:45He went for the elbow, landed on his back.
00:42:48And Shawn Michaels took the ultimate supreme high risk chance in this environment.
00:42:55In his condition.
00:42:57With his back as it is, for naught.
00:43:00But when you take the big chance, you pay the big price sometimes.
00:43:03And that looks like what happened.
00:43:05Now Triple H can just, he can get one hand across.
00:43:08Shawn, he did it!
00:43:09Covers, the cover!
00:43:10And Michaels, Shawn Michaels, somehow, some way, is able to get that shoulder up.
00:43:17And again, Triple H is so weak, just like Michaels, he's got an arm over it, Michaels.
00:43:23That's all Triple H could do.
00:43:25Well, some ways they are.
00:43:26I have a feeling that that's the way this match is gonna end.
00:43:29These men are gonna beat each other to bloody pumps until there's absolutely
00:43:33nothing left of either of them.
00:43:35And somebody's gonna just either fall across the other one or be able to drape one arm across.
00:43:41These men have went well past 30 minutes.
00:43:43This has gotta be the longest Hell Nacelle match in history.
00:43:47I mean, they're humans.
00:43:48How much can their anatomies take?
00:43:50I understand will to win, but Triple H taking those right hands.
00:43:56Michaels landing those straight, sickening right hands with, look at how big Michaels'
00:44:01right hand is.
00:44:02His right hand looks like it's swollen to twice its size.
00:44:06It could be broken.
00:44:07Imagine just getting the holy hell beat out of you for over 30 minutes straight.
00:44:12Michaels' ring finger, his little finger, both crooked.
00:44:15He looks like his knuckles are swollen to twice their size.
00:44:20The cover by Michaels.
00:44:21And Triple H gets his shoulder up with King, I'll tell you.
00:44:24The guts of both these men, whether you like both of them or you don't, it really doesn't
00:44:30matter, you gotta admire the courage and what these two men are putting their bodies through,
00:44:34just to prove who is the better man.
00:44:37And I'm beginning to wonder, JR, is either one of these men gonna lose this match?
00:44:42They're both so determined, it's like they're so determined, not necessarily to win,
00:44:47but they're so determined not to lose.
00:44:50Well, somebody's gonna win tonight, and somebody's gonna lose tonight.
00:44:54Triple H's going downstairs, and my shoulder.
00:44:57Man, that was a forbidding shot right to the shoulder, into the steel ring post.
00:45:05And that ring post, very unyielding.
00:45:10I think, knowing both of these men the way I do, JR, I think the will not to lose is
00:45:17stronger than the will to win.
00:45:19Neither one of these men-
00:45:20Let's go!
00:45:22It's all about competition, and this is a raw pay-per-view.
00:45:27And that's what it's about, is competition.
00:45:29Intense physicality.
00:45:32And you won't see this anywhere else.
00:45:34And look at this now, the game, bringing in a table.
00:45:41Well, both of these men have to look at this match as probably the biggest in their
00:45:45career, the end-all match, and neither one of these guys can afford to lose this.
00:45:50And to show you the perverse personal issue, you probably are right.
00:45:57The biggest match in both their careers, and it's not for the world title.
00:46:01That's what it means to both men.
00:46:03Shawn Michaels hasn't moved.
00:46:05He's been lying over that- He can't move.
00:46:08That middle rope, that second turnbuckle.
00:46:10That may be broken.
00:46:13Well, somewhere, somehow, he must have missed a little more strength.
00:46:20A little more offense.
00:46:21This is so intense.
00:46:24The physicality is completely indescribable as Michaels scores again,
00:46:29with what we think is a broken right hand.
00:46:32Where is he getting it from?
00:46:34Kirtleis knocked down to his knees, and Michaels, Kirtleis can't even get his
00:46:38hands up to protect himself.
00:46:40Shawn Michaels, three shots.
00:46:43And that's to the skull of a man that's been hit in the head with a steel chair in
00:46:48this match as aggressively, as stiffly as anything I've seen in years.
00:46:52And don't forget that ladder.
00:46:57Now what?
00:46:58Triple H out on it, look at Michaels, that's a free shot, right in the head.
00:47:03Right in the head, and the game, helplessly lying on that table, Michaels.
00:47:11Well, Triple H earlier brought a steel chair in the ring and it came back to haunt him.
00:47:15Do you think this table that Triple H brought in is gonna come back to haunt him as well?
00:47:19God, my God, Shawn Michaels climbing as high as he can go.
00:47:24And through the elbow.
00:47:28Michaels with the elbow, off the ladder, through the heart, through the table, to the camp.
00:47:34The crowd's hitting for HBK.
00:47:41I may have done it, we may have reached that point where which one of these men
00:47:49is gonna have the final strength to cover the other, look at this.
00:47:53A lot of pumping and cracking, it may not have just been the table.
00:48:00There he is.
00:48:01Michaels, he got the other, he's got the other, he's got the other.
00:48:03Two, two, two, I cannot believe this, JR.
00:48:07I am absolutely astonished of the toughness, intensity of both these men.
00:48:13Michaels trying to get body on body here, and he finally does.
00:48:16And Triple H able to power out over that uncanny upper body strength of his.
00:48:23What it is, Shawn just, like you said earlier, he doesn't have the power,
00:48:27the strength left to be able to hook Triple H's leg.
00:48:29All he can do is just basically lay his body weight across Triple H.
00:48:33This is one night that we will never forget.
00:48:41On June the 13th, 2004, you can tell him, folks, he has saw the best.
00:48:47And Michaels now tuning up the band.
00:48:49Don't tell me.
00:48:50It only takes one shot for Sweet 10 music.
00:48:54Michaels has only gone for it once in this entire match.
00:48:57If he hits it, it's over.
00:48:58The game with a low blow.
00:49:04The game dodged the right foot of Michaels, able to go downstairs.
00:49:12John completely exposed in a low blow of the worst kind, and look at this.
00:49:17The pedigree, Triple H hit the pedigree, but can he cover Michaels?
00:49:23If Triple H can make the cover, it's gotta be over.
00:49:31Man, this is carnage.
00:49:35This is legal human torture.
00:49:39And finally, JR, like you said earlier, this match may mercifully be over.
00:49:45The arm over of the game, will it be?
00:49:47No, it's not.
00:49:49My God, how much is it gonna take for one of these two phenomenal athletes to win this match?
00:49:56I can't believe it.
00:49:59They just refuse, they refuse to lose.
00:50:05It's amazing.
00:50:07As far as careers are concerned, this match will have deadly consequences.
00:50:14And look at, Michaels is using Triple H to stand, and Triple H is using Michaels to stand up.
00:50:21Those men have both pushed each other to the line.
00:50:24He got it, Michaels got it.
00:50:28The Sweet 10 music.
00:50:31And Michaels collapsed after connecting with Sweet 10 music.
00:50:38Michaels can somehow just muster the strength now to roll his body towards Triple H.
00:50:44I never thought he had this ending, but look.
00:50:46Whoa.
00:50:47God, what impact, what impact.
00:50:51Michaels won the very first Hell in a Cell seven years ago.
00:50:57It looks like he has a chance here if he can make the cover to win this one.
00:51:02That's right, Triple H has never lost one, and I'm afraid until now.
00:51:06Shawn Michaels moving, inching closer to the game.
00:51:11I think he's got it, JR.
00:51:13That's gonna be it if he can just get that arm across.
00:51:17Michaels got the arm on.
00:51:18Here it is.
00:51:19It's gonna be.
00:51:20My God.
00:51:21My God, how much more can these two men take?
00:51:26How much more can they give?
00:51:30That's the question.
00:51:31What more can these two men do to each other?
00:51:35I just, I don't know what we're gonna prove here.
00:51:37I shudder to think of an answer to that question.
00:51:40What more can these two men do to each other?
00:51:47Somehow, JR, I'm sure they'll think of something.
00:51:53Michaels, such a far away look in his eye.
00:51:56The expression of Michaels' face.
00:51:58His face tells this story.
00:52:01He's gotta be thinking.
00:52:03What does it take?
00:52:04I've given everything I have.
00:52:06Triple H is going downstairs.
00:52:08Somehow, some way, going downstairs.
00:52:12And now the game, trying to go back to what brought him to the dance.
00:52:16The pedigree, here's the second pedigree.
00:52:19But Triple H collapses and falls to his back.
00:52:23And Michaels, luckily for him, falls on his stomach.
00:52:29Right, after delivering the pedigree, right now, unfortunately,
00:52:33the game is in the most precarious position.
00:52:36These men are gonna need to be stitched.
00:52:39You gotta believe there could be hospital time.
00:52:42Forty-five minutes these men have been beating each other's senses.
00:52:49That in itself is perverse.
00:52:52Forty-five minutes inside Hell in a Cell breaks all records.
00:52:57But at what price, at what price, two magnificent competitors, like them or not,
00:53:10are putting themselves through this Hell that they can never, in my view,
00:53:14ever, ever recover from.
00:53:16Look at the carnage, ladders, smashed tables, dented chairs, and two broken bodies.
00:53:29This has been a sinister, sinister, ill-fated match.
00:53:35And the referee can't do a damn thing.
00:53:38But hope and pray that one of these two men will be able to beat the other.
00:53:47And we're gonna stay here as long as it takes.
00:53:50These fans just showing their respect to these two, as you say, great athletes,
00:53:58who are just surviving, being alive at this point.
00:54:03Michael's trying to get up.
00:54:05Turning at least to his side here.
00:54:07They've lost so much blood.
00:54:10There's no telling what kind of structural damage these two men had.
00:54:14They have given us their heart and their soul in this demonic structure tonight,
00:54:20and it is not over yet.
00:54:23They've given us their heart and soul, and they've given their bodies to this cell.
00:54:28Oh, my God!
00:54:29The third category, three!
00:54:32Another pedigree.
00:54:34But this time, Michaels, for him, unfortunately, landing on his back,
00:54:40Michaels is not moving.
00:54:42The game, trying, trying to get an arm over.
00:54:46Will he be able to?
00:54:48He's just shifting his weight right now.
00:54:50He's gotta somehow fall on Shawn.
00:54:55There, he's done it.
00:54:56Michaels, down, the count, the three is over.
00:55:00My God, it is perfectly over.
00:55:04Triple H!
00:55:09He's gotta make it.
00:55:11What?
00:55:12Unbelievable.
00:55:15Unbelievable.
00:55:17Unbelievable.
00:55:1947 minutes and 26 seconds.
00:55:23A pure hell incarnate.
00:55:28You're right, it's amazing, amazing match.
00:55:34Trying to figure out what my mood's gonna be.
00:55:37We talk about career threatening.
00:55:39We talk about cold searching.
00:55:42The supreme professional gut check.
00:55:46And we have seen it in spades here tonight.
00:55:51They could get this thing untadlocked.
00:55:54I think both of these men need some medical help.
00:56:01We said early tonight that the Hell in a Cell is where careers go to die.
00:56:10I hope that I am wrong on that analogy.
00:56:17You can't say anything more than these two men both completely get one best Hell in a Cell match.
00:56:27This is not medical help that's coming to the ring, but it is three concerned individuals.
00:56:34Evolution coming down to, I hope only, three three, Triple A.
00:56:41Their leader, the leader of Evolution, stepped up to the plate tonight, big time.
00:56:48Time to play the game.
00:56:51I came with a player, the indignity of Ric Flair getting in Shawn Michaels' face.
00:56:56Hey, this is Shawn Michaels.
00:56:58Shawn Michaels left his heart and his soul in this ring tonight, but so did the game.
00:57:06I will give the devil his doom.
00:57:09Well, we still haven't seen, both of these men may have to be physically carried out of this ring.
00:57:17Both of them.
00:57:22As a small kid, when I first became a wrestling fan, I was often, almost on a weekly basis,
00:57:30astonished and amazed at the athleticism, the toughness, and the courage of the men I saw on my television.
00:57:38But I can tell you here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, being here live and in person,
00:57:43this is one man that if I live to be a hundred, I will never forget.
00:57:48Triple H has been moved again. He has been battered again. But was he beaten? No. I don't, you know, I don't even know if, I don't know if Triple H realizes he's won.
00:58:10I am the game and I hate me too, so move on out here, you can tie like a fool.
00:58:17Try to figure out what the news gonna be. Come on over.
00:58:20Shawn Michaels competed in the first Hell in a Cell seven years ago.
00:58:25Little did he know that his career could very well end up inside Hell in a Cell seven years later.
00:58:35Because I am, as sure as I'm in Oklahoma Sooner, I am so worried about that man's back.
00:58:45He could have a broken hand from his, using that fist. He lost a ton of blood.
00:58:51Well, the longest running, most storied rivalry in WWE history has ended.
00:59:04And certainly not the way Shawn Michaels would have wanted it.
00:59:11But he's certainly got nothing to be ashamed of. Absolutely not.
00:59:16The soul of a warrior gave us everything he had. Three pedigrees.
00:59:23And this crowd is, not one person has left. They are hushed.
00:59:30Shawn's eyes are open.
00:59:32Crowd is absolutely as we are stunned.
00:59:36And appreciative, as they should be.
00:59:43As the world has to be.
00:59:46With the athletic display that these two men just gave for us.
00:59:52It's an amazing accomplishment that he is gonna be able to, it looks like,
00:59:57leave the ring under his own power.
00:59:59The brutal finality of the Shawn Michaels Triple X rivalry has ended inside Hell in a Cell.
01:00:09What an amazing effort on an unforgettable night.
