00:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the WWE European Championship.
00:15Introducing the challenger from Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in 218 pounds, Jeff Hardy.
00:23I'll tell you what, this kid last week here on Raw, the ladder match for The Undertaker,
00:26he brought heart, body, and soul, and he's still showing the effects body-wise.
00:33And King, this kid, he had us on the edge of our seat last week,
00:37getting so close, and becoming the undisputed champion.
00:40He said it right there, he brought it all. He brought heart, he brought body, he brought soul.
00:45Unfortunately, The Undertaker made Jeff Hardy leave a little bit of a body in that ring.
00:52Undertaker finally prevailing.
00:54Well, I'll tell you one thing, The Undertaker came back to the ring.
00:58This is after the last ride, and raising this kid's hand, a show of respect by The Undertaker.
01:04And ladies and gentlemen, you'd like to meet Jeff Hardy, he's going to be in Seattle at the Key Arena box office
01:09this Saturday morning at 10.30, as tickets will go on sale for our first Seattle Raw in about six years.
01:17Tickets on sale this Saturday morning in Seattle.
01:19And making his win in the ring from Blackpool, England, weighing in at 240 pounds,
01:25he is the W-3 European champion, William Friegel.
01:30Let's see how I get this guy's name right.
01:32It's William Friegel, and he's the European champion.
01:35I got it.
01:36What else did I call him?
01:38I can call him a lot of things.
01:39You were confused earlier.
01:40Hopeless ass.
01:41Hey, hey, wait a minute.
01:42That's what I think.
01:43Fragger?
01:45I don't know.
01:47I'm frangging.
01:48Back it up.
01:48Wrigel, the European champion.
01:51I don't, uh, I don't know what the fans in Europe would, uh, how they would respond.
01:56I got a feeling.
01:56What?
01:57Someone positively, if Jeff Hardy were to upset Mr. Wrigel here tonight and become the European champion.
02:02Why do you say that?
02:03What's that about Europe?
02:04What's the European representative?
02:07Well, not necessarily.
02:08They want the best man represented.
02:09Well, they got it.
02:09Well, it's funny about Jeff Hardy.
02:13You've got to believe Jeff Hardy is very sore in that ladder match.
02:17There's no way it could not be.
02:19So, for Jeff Hardy to win this thing, you think you've got to boom it over here.
02:23He's starting to not establish a ground attack.
02:26Covering a near fall here, and Jeff Hardy pressing the issue with the European champion,
02:30William Friegel.
02:31Another ladder press and another near fall.
02:34This kid wants to, he wants to win.
02:35He saw it last week, and he wants to win tonight.
02:38And he comes to European champion.
02:39How's that, J.R.?
02:40You're talking like Jeff Hardy's wrestling.
02:42If he's sore, it's not showing.
02:44He's all over the place.
02:45Well, he's a human being.
02:46He's got to be sore.
02:47But he's sucking it up here for this opportunity.
02:50Watch this.
02:51Because he's sore.
02:52William Regal, he's deadly southpaw from Blackpool, England.
02:56He started fighting adults at the age of 15 for money.
03:02You can imagine kids in this country going to have a driver's license at the age of 15.
03:06Regal was this black-grown man.
03:08We're going to take off to circumstances.
03:10Regal is a tough, tough man.
03:18Very unorthodox.
03:20He establishes a very deliberate pace.
03:22Look how handsome.
03:24He just smelled up.
03:27Regal is thumping away here at Jeff Hardy.
03:29And again, you know what you're going to say.
03:31What are granny-style belches, right?
03:32Oh, those are rough.
03:33Please.
03:34They linger.
03:34Oh, this is it.
03:37So I get.
03:38Ball bars up.
03:39Right with the power bond.
03:40There's a cover.
03:41And oh, Jeff Hardy.
03:43His shoulders on the canvas for a long two-count.
03:45Oh.
03:46Jeff Hardy was able to get his shoulders off.
03:48And now Regal right back.
03:50Pressing in the advantage here.
03:52You know what?
03:53I'm really kind of enjoying this.
03:55Watching William Regal finish off.
03:57What the other take left.
04:00Oh, wait a minute.
04:02Trying to take a chance here.
04:03He's a thrift taker.
04:04Sunset Clip.
04:05Oh, here we go.
04:05No, he didn't get it.
04:07Carl Robinson, not in great position.
04:09Got a near fall out of that Sunset Clip.
04:10But Jeff Hardy and Jeff Hardy's offense.
04:13Ooh.
04:13He's coming.
04:14He's a far between here.
04:15There's neck break.
04:17The hook to the leg.
04:18And Jeff Hardy again, kicking out.
04:20We saw his great resiliency and his will to survive last week against the Undertaker.
04:25You know what Jeff needs in this matchup?
04:26What's that?
04:27Ladder.
04:28He needs a ladder in there.
04:29That's his only hope.
04:31Well, he's great those ladder matches.
04:32Catches, catch 10.
04:33There's a cover.
04:34Again, and Jeff Hardy, he didn't really kick out that time.
04:38He didn't get a shoulder up.
04:40You've got to believe that again as we've thought out.
04:42If Jeff Hardy's hurting as bad as we assume that he is, the longer this match goes along,
04:48the more advantage it will be for Weaver.
04:49Well, you've got to give Jeff Hardy credit, like the Undertaker did last week.
04:58If you hear what the Undertaker called Jeff Hardy at the event match, he said he was a tough son of pitch.
05:02And that's high praise coming from the Undertaker.
05:04And that's high praise coming from the Undertaker.
05:04And that's right on that occasion.
05:07No doubt about that.
05:07Look at this.
05:09That's got to hurt.
05:10Look at the look of Jeff Hardy.
05:15Look at the look of Jeff Hardy.
05:16That's a very unorthodox move.
05:19Jeff Hardy is fighting his way out.
05:21He's picking up catching Jeff and they're grounded in a high fire.
05:25Hardy's been grounded.
05:26There's a lateral press here.
05:27And the European Champion creating another near fall in this European Championship match live tonight from Philadelphia.
05:34And thank you very much for being with us, wherever you may be.
05:38That's a counter there by Jeff Hardy in the arm drag.
05:42Regal got to keep Jeff Hardy grounded here.
05:45Hardy will take every chance of the hook.
05:47This is the limit, he says.
05:49This is his body.
05:51Could not hook the leg and Regal quickly back up.
05:54I just can imagine riots would break out all over Europe.
05:57William Regal.
05:58Look at this.
06:02Well, this is very unsportsmanlike.
06:05And Regal being preoccupied, taking the turf of the cover off.
06:09That's unsportsmanlike.
06:11That's a cheap shot.
06:12Go behind.
06:13You can't get to the back.
06:15Regal's in the ring.
06:17That one.
06:17Jeff Hardy.
06:18Wait a minute.
06:19Regal's down.
06:20Jeff Hardy is up.
06:22Can Jeff hit it?
06:23Oh, he does.
06:24My God.
06:25The swat con.
06:26A bullseye.
06:27No.
06:28And the New Europeans Champion.
06:29Oh, no.
06:30Jeff Hardy.
06:31Jeff Hardy has done it.
06:32Here's your winner and the new WWE European Champion, Jeff Hardy.
06:38Jeff Hardy went through hell last week with The Undertaker and survived.
06:43And here tonight, Jeff Hardy continues his quest for survival.
06:48Living for the moment.
06:50And Jeff Hardy is now the European Champion.
06:54I can assure you they're stunned and stunned in Stuttgart.
06:57This is awful.
06:59Oh, that may be dancing in Denmark.
07:02Oh, please.
07:04Look at this.
07:06I can't believe it.
07:06Let me see this again.
07:07The swat con.
07:08And man, the Jeff Hardy here.
07:10Are you sure this is a drink now?
07:12What?
07:12You?
07:12Oh, Robert, hold the air out of William Regal.
07:16Boom.
07:16Look at this.
07:17Bam!
07:18That impact.
07:20Unbelievable.
07:21Jeff Hardy.
07:22the new European champion!
