00:00Big match up for the new king of the ring.
00:07Huge opportunity awaits the game.
00:11And yes, and a new tribute to the king.
00:17I thought you were gonna say all hail the new king.
00:22I would love you say that.
00:24The following is a triple threat match and a schedule for one fall.
00:28Introducing first from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
00:31We need a 237 pounds, Olympic gold medalist, and king of the ring, Kurt Angle.
00:40I don't know what to make of a grown man wearing a crown in public.
00:43What are you talking about? Look at the size of that crown. What a beautiful scepter.
00:47Grown.
00:48Unfortunately, thanks to that idiot Shawn Michaels' throne is destroyed.
00:52I don't care to make any remarks about Kurt Angle's scepter.
00:55Huh?
00:56This match has an opportunity to beat the WWF champion.
01:01This Thursday night on SmackDown.
01:03Stand up for the king.
01:05How you doing there, king?
01:09Yes, look at that crown. What a beauty.
01:12Wow, what's that scepter?
01:14That's worth a lot of money.
01:15Enjoying a big king.
01:18King, aren't you gonna wrestle there, Kurt?
01:20I'm gonna wrestle right now. I'm gonna take a little break, let these guys come out and chill the crowd down and get started.
01:25Jerry the king, your king has arrived.
01:27It takes a king to know a king. This is great.
01:30His opponent is being accompanied by the World Wrestling Federation Women's Champion Stephanie McMahon Helmsley.
01:38From Greenwich, Connecticut weighing in at 260 pounds, Triple H.
01:45Kurt, let me tell you something. So far tonight has been a nightmare for this man Triple H.
01:49But I gotta tell you, I know Triple H. He's not gonna let it wind up that way. He's gonna do everything in his power to be the number one contender, Kurt.
01:55I know what the game's all about. He's all about having no integrity whatsoever.
01:59You saw what happened earlier tonight. What he did to your Olympic hero, that will not happen tonight.
02:05Now, Kurt, you're not gonna start calling all the fans peons, are you?
02:08I don't call anybody peons. I don't like it is. I'm an honest man. I'm a man of three eyes. Intensity, integrity, and intelligence.
02:16Man.
02:17Look at that scepter.
02:19Wow.
02:20Sure you can, Jerry.
02:21Look at that, JR.
02:22I'm a proud man tonight.
02:23I see it.
02:24Well, all I know is the winner of this tournament red match, if it's a king, Kurt Angle, or the game,
02:30have the opportunity to meet The Rock for the WWF title this Thursday night on SmackDown.
02:36However, if The Rock lands- Yeah, listen to this, Kurt.
02:39He doesn't have to recognize either King Kurt or The Game as number one contender.
02:44I'll make sure that doesn't happen there, JR.
02:46There you go.
02:49If you smash The Rock, it's coming.
02:54Here we go.
02:55From Miami, Florida.
02:57We need 270 now.
03:00He is the world wrestling federation champion, The Rock.
03:06A standing ovation for The Rock.
03:09All right, Kurt.
03:10You gotta really reach down.
03:12Pull that extra bit out for intensity.
03:14And the match is already underway.
03:24The Rock and the Triple H hammering away with The Rock.
03:28Laying the SmackDown on the game.
03:31And here comes Kurt Angle with a knockdown.
03:33Showing intelligence.
03:34Hanging back.
03:35Angle or Triple H win this match.
03:39They'll beat The Rock with a WWE title this Thursday night on SmackDown.
03:43SmackDown.
03:44Now this is what you gotta do here.
03:45You gotta double-team The Rock if you wanna have any chance of beating each other.
03:50Now, look at Earl Hebner in there.
03:52He's doing his job, that's all.
03:53Double-team Earl, that'd be good.
03:55I wouldn't advise that.
03:56All right, The Rock gets booted out of the corner.
03:59The double clothesline.
04:00Yeah.
04:01From the WWE Champion.
04:02Thanks to Earl Hebner, he's distracting both Triple H and King Kurt.
04:06And before Triple H, knocking the game outside.
04:10Leaving the king of the ring and the WWE Champion.
04:13One-on-one in this Triple Threat match.
04:16Oh, no.
04:17Look out, Kurt.
04:18Tilt the World Slam.
04:20Ball two.
04:21And the game interrupted the count.
04:23The first man to score pinfall or earn a decision in any way is the winner of this match.
04:29You gotta realize, just like you saw the game save Kurt Angle there.
04:33The game and Kurt have gotta be on the same page.
04:36If either one of those guys get pinned, they both lose their shot at being number one contender.
04:40Certainly The Rock won the WWE title in very controversial fashion.
04:44King Kurt.
04:45He did not pin the game as the king of the ring.
04:47Look out.
04:48And the game elevating the WWE Champion over the top.
04:52And here comes Angle with a cheap shot on the outside.
04:55Oh, look at King Kurt.
04:56And now the right hand.
04:57Watch it.
04:58Look out.
04:59Uh-oh.
05:00Oh, Kurt.
05:01Angle's face.
05:02The Olympian had bounced off.
05:05Oh.
05:06The announce table.
05:09And now they are playing the SmackDown.
05:11Oh.
05:12Stephanie.
05:13Look out.
05:14Trying to sneak up from behind the Rock.
05:16Be careful, Stephanie.
05:17She wasn't gonna do anything.
05:18Of course not.
05:19She didn't mean it.
05:20And now the game.
05:22Oh.
05:23Trying to take advantage.
05:24But The Rock with the game to the point.
05:26Get out the way.
05:27What a shot.
05:28The Rock may be the WWE Champion.
05:31This may be the beginning of The Rock era.
05:34But don't be mistaken, folks.
05:36There's a huge bullseye on that giant chest of The Rock.
05:39Everybody wants a shot at the WWE Champion.
05:43In the championship.
05:45My gosh.
05:47The Olympic gold medal winner.
05:51King of the ring almost to the Rock.
05:53Run out of his boots.
05:54Now Angle's stopping away at the heart of the WWE Champion.
05:59And look at the game.
06:00The WWE Champion.
06:01The Game and Angle took turns here.
06:03That'd be the smart thing for him to do.
06:05Hard right hand measured by the game.
06:10And now he's holding The Rock.
06:12And Angle with a knock down from the right hand.
06:14I'm gonna tell you something, JR.
06:16I like Kurt Angle.
06:17He's the king of the ring already.
06:19But I gotta go with the game in this match.
06:22Talk about intense.
06:24Kurt Angle's usually intense.
06:25But not like I've seen the game today.
06:27Well, you might be right.
06:28You might be right.
06:29But I wouldn't help The Rock out.
06:31It's anybody's ball game here.
06:34Well, the stakes very, very high for the game and for the king of the ring.
06:38You gotta admit Triple H got robbed at king of the ring.
06:41He wasn't robbed a bit.
06:42He knew exactly what he was getting into.
06:45And look at Angle going for the cover.
06:47And Triple H pulling the angle off of The Rock.
06:50Uh-oh.
06:51Triple H knew the stipulations that the king of the ring going in full well.
06:55Did he like it?
06:56No.
06:57But he knew what they were.
06:58Wait a minute.
06:59Whoa!
07:00Uh-huh, right in.
07:02Angle's got tucked into the SmackDown Hotel in the King's Sweep.
07:07And from behind comes the game.
07:09I think Triple H just turned The Rock over to Kurt Angle and said, you want to go ahead and take him, but Kurt couldn't head to The Rock.
07:15Triple H has said the most important thing in his life is the WWE title.
07:19He doesn't have any more.
07:20Behind me, down goes The Rock.
07:22Triple H with the advantage.
07:23The leg is hooked.
07:24The leg is hooked.
07:25And Angle made sure that we did not see three.
07:28What do you think Triple H was feeling when he had to walk out here with his wife Stephanie and her holding the WWF Women's Championship and him with no title?
07:37That had to be humiliating.
07:39What do you think he thought when Jericho traded slobbers with Triple H's wife last night at the King of the Ring?
07:48She didn't like that a bit.
07:50Yeah, what did Y2J think when his family jewels got crushed by Stephanie, huh?
07:55I'm sure he's still recuperating from that, beating for DX and Stephanie earlier tonight.
08:03He's hammered right now by two men who have unlocked the game by winning this match.
08:08Kurt's not having much luck with The Rock.
08:09You guys are gonna have to double-team!
08:12Break strategy by The Game, maybe inadvertently with Angle, but Angle and The Game were pacing themselves.
08:18Taking turns, and The Rock will knock down on Angle, and then right back, that quickly, came The Game.
08:23It's almost a handicap match, not a triple threat match.
08:28Uh-oh.
08:29What is this?
08:30Look out!
08:31Triple H!
08:32Oh, the great velocity of The Rock, taking The Game over the top rope.
08:36One of these guys, either Triple H or Kurt, have to win this thing to be the number one contender.
08:41Oh!
08:42Oh!
08:43Back down, The Rock almost beheaded, the new king of the ring.
08:46But if The Rock wins, there'll be no number one contender.
08:49Oh!
08:50Oh!
08:51Victory!
08:52Some more drop!
08:53Drop in the air from Kurt Angle.
08:54Here comes The Game back in.
08:55Oh, Lord!
08:56Look out!
08:57Belly-to-belly suplex!
08:58The leg is stitched up, and we go!
09:00Oh!
09:01The Game by this right shoulder, off the canvas.
09:03Stephanie almost had a heart stoppage.
09:06Maybe a palpitation of nothing else.
09:09Just as we are, this is a heart stopping match.
09:12Oh, what a night we have had here on Raw.
09:15Look back!
09:16There you go, Face Buster!
09:17Look at this!
09:18But from behind comes Angle.
09:19Oh!
09:20Target, textbook suplex!
09:21I can't believe the night this has been.
09:26And now Angle and Triple H eyeballing each other with a rock down.
09:32Hey, what is this?
09:33Triple H, what's he doing?
09:35Oh, no!
09:36Oh, Lord, Lord!
09:37What he's doing?
09:38Same thing Stephanie did to Y2J.
09:41Oh, yeah!
09:42Triple H just with a vile, low blow.
09:45Triple H wants The Rock to hold himself.
09:47Oh, they can't!
09:48Wait a minute!
09:49The Rock trying to load up the game in The Rock Bottom!
09:52Go!
09:53Go!
09:54DDT!
09:55Oh, what a DDT!
09:56Will that be enough?
09:57Three!
09:58Double Tuna!
09:59A long, long, long, long two!
10:01Oh, this is scary.
10:03Look out!
10:04Look out!
10:05Angle now, Triple H or Rock bringing him outside.
10:08A Triple Threat match!
10:10A Triple Threat match!
10:11If Angle or Triple H win, they'll make The Rock glitters he not on SmackDown!
10:15Hey, wait a minute!
10:16What are you guys doing now?
10:17Team, I'll be!
10:18Team, I'll be!
10:19This is the rules of the Triple Threat match!
10:20This is every, every man for himself!
10:21This is not smart!
10:22This is not intelligent, guys!
10:23If Angle beats Triple H or Triple H beats Angle, they become the number one contender!
10:30How smart is that?
10:31They need to work a neckbreaker!
10:32A neckbreaker!
10:33A neckbreaker!
10:34There's a cover!
10:36And look at Rock!
10:37He just pulled Triple H off Angle!
10:38The Rock wants to win this thing!
10:39He wants to win it badly!
10:40The Rock's gotta win it for himself!
10:41Oh, look out!
10:42Somebody in the leg!
10:43Boom!
10:44Triple H went nose first into the ring post!
10:46The Rock's got to win it for himself!
10:47The Rock's got to win it for himself!
10:48Somebody in the leg!
10:49Boom!
10:50Triple H went nose first into the ring post!
10:53Watch it!
10:54Oh!
10:55Angle the right hand now!
10:57Does he have the upper hand on The Rock?
11:00The Rock is reeling from the onslaught of Kurt Angle!
11:04Let's go!
11:05Oh!
11:06Spine Buster!
11:07That could be it!
11:09A Spine Buster, but the game is right back in it!
11:12And knocks down The Rock!
11:14Oh, we were about to see the people's elbow, but I told you, I predicted the game would win this thing!
11:19What the hell is this match?
11:21The close round, pedigree time!
11:24But Angle says nobody!
11:26Look at Angle!
11:27And Angle took a shot!
11:28They caught Triple H in the face and knocked the game outside!
11:31I'm gonna tell you something, Angle's gonna make a great king!
11:34Oh!
11:35There we go!
11:36That'll be it!
11:37That'll be it!
11:38Angle has beaten The Rock!
11:39One, two, one!
11:40The game!
11:42He came from nowhere!
11:43He came out of nowhere!
11:44He came out of nowhere his right!
11:45And Triple H to interrupt the count!
11:49It's anybody's ball game!
11:51Here I go wrong!
11:53Let it go!
11:54Oh no, it's not anybody's ball game now!
11:56Angle is out!
11:57Triple H has got balls!
11:59That's Chris Jericho!
12:02What is he doing out here?
12:04I don't know!
12:05Get him!
12:06Stephanie, look out!
12:07Oh, wait a minute!
12:08Angle!
12:09Jericho!
12:10Just hung up the game!
12:12Roboto!
12:13Jericho!
12:14The referee!
12:15The referee!
12:16That idiot Jericho!
12:20Here's your winner, The Rock!
12:24Stephanie!
12:25Jericho!
12:26Your husband!
12:27Jericho!
12:28Y2J!
12:29Just cost the game, big time!
12:32The Rock, for all ages, has won this Triple Threat Match!
