WWE SMACKDOWN 09 JUNE 2006 FULL SHOW HD
Transcript
00:00:00Yes, sir, we promised you a great man here.
00:00:13The last year is Andre.
00:00:16The Chinese.
00:00:16Hulkamania is running wild.
00:00:19My God, what a hell.
00:00:20It's not a world is watching.
00:00:30Yo, what's up?
00:00:32I'm The Miz and I am your host for Friday Night SmackDown.
00:00:39Hoorah!
00:00:41And tonight, the main attraction, the main event is the man that loves to fight Finlay versus
00:00:48the world champion, Rey Mysterio.
00:00:51And Ashley, Jillian, Crystal, and Michelle McCool are all going to go at it in a summer kickoff
00:01:03from TV Goddard.
00:01:06Yeah, baby.
00:01:08And it all starts right now.
00:01:11Get it out.
00:01:12Two nights removed from a wild and crazy and unpredictable WWE versus ECW head-to-head.
00:01:29We welcome you to Friday Night SmackDown.
00:01:31Michael Collins has it ringside.
00:01:33And what's going to happen tonight that could directly affect ECW one-night stand come Sunday?
00:01:42Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome William Regal.
00:01:50I like to call him Taz.
00:01:52King Booker's town fryer, so to speak.
00:01:55He partook in that heinous assault on the United States champion Lassie, along with Finlay
00:02:02and King Booker last week, making Lassie kiss King Booker's feet.
00:02:07Well, yeah, bow first.
00:02:09I mean, Lassie had a bow first.
00:02:10It was degrading, though.
00:02:11A degrading moment for Bobby Lassie.
00:02:14I mean, William Regal right in the middle of that whole thing, making Lassie kiss the feet
00:02:19of King Booker.
00:02:20Wow.
00:02:20Absolutely humiliating for the United States champion.
00:02:25Ambushed from behind by that man, William Regal.
00:02:28Ladies and gentlemen, what I am about to show you is a lesson, a lesson learned by that disgusting
00:02:47peasant Bobby Lassie, a lesson that you should all hail King Booker.
00:02:57All hail King Booker.
00:03:00All hail King Booker.
00:03:02King Booker may be all high and mighty right now, but he better get on his game because he
00:03:06goes head-to-head with a new United States champion, Lassie.
00:03:11Here we go.
00:03:12A rematch of the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament.
00:03:15Both these men got their confidence up.
00:03:18One just becoming the King.
00:03:19The other one should become the United States champion.
00:03:22Oh, man.
00:03:22How powerful is this Lassie?
00:03:24Look at this.
00:03:25Look at this way.
00:03:26He got it.
00:03:27Oh, he got it.
00:03:28Wait, Lassie hits the King.
00:03:30Are you kidding me?
00:03:31Hey, William Regal attacking Lassie from behind.
00:03:37And look at this.
00:03:38Oh, my God.
00:03:39The Irishman.
00:03:39Finley with the salari.
00:03:41This is a muttony.
00:03:43Lassie never saw this coming.
00:03:45And now King Booker going to pick at the scraps.
00:03:49Now, you peasant, bow down to King Booker.
00:03:58You know what?
00:03:59Make this sucker kiss my feet.
00:04:04Are you humiliating?
00:04:06Oh, hell, King Booker!
00:04:14And for all of those who don't learn this lesson, you will encourage the wrath of our King.
00:04:21So, please, ladies and gentlemen, I want you all to show the proper respect and dignity as we introduce His Majesty.
00:04:31All hail King Booker!
00:04:33All hail King Booker!
00:04:38All hail King Booker!
00:04:42All hail King Booker!
00:04:45All hail King Booker!
00:04:49All hail King Booker!
00:04:51Wait a minute! That's Lashley! Lashley, the United States Champion, attacking Regal from behind!
00:04:57Came out of nowhere! And Lashley all over Regal!
00:05:01I guess tournament is fair play, much like Regal attacking Lashley from behind!
00:05:05Lashley revokes for the United States Champion, and Lashley looks like he was shot out of a cannon!
00:05:11He'll knock you, beat the hell out of a Regal!
00:05:13Oh my God!
00:05:14You know, a lot of official officials and referees out here trying to basically protect Regal, I guess, to just calm down Lashley!
00:05:23Regal's scrambling away!
00:05:25Wait a minute! Lashley kicking out Regal! Right here on the announce table!
00:05:30Beat him the hell out of Regal!
00:05:31Beat the living daylights out of him!
00:05:33It's mayhem here!
00:05:37Taking more than a half-dubbed in men to restrain Lashley from getting to William Regal!
00:05:43Oh, I cannot believe how hard Lashley just hit!
00:05:48Just like a linebacker just driving at the Regal!
00:05:52We were just a few feet away, Taz!
00:05:54Did you see the ferocity of the blows Lashley was striking Regal with?
00:05:58Oh, yeah, he almost got taken out! Now, check this out!
00:06:00That's a minute, player!
00:06:03Lashley!
00:06:05Lashley!
00:06:06You looking for a fight, player?
00:06:08Well, you got one!
00:06:10Because tonight, it will be William Regal
00:06:15one-on-one with Bobby Lashley!
00:06:19Oh, ho!
00:06:20Man!
00:06:21Hey!
00:06:22Hold on, player!
00:06:23Hey, Lashley!
00:06:25And by the way,
00:06:26if you defeat Regal tonight,
00:06:28you'll get King Booker!
00:06:32Hello!
00:06:32Oh, there is a lot on the line for the hungry United States champion tonight!
00:06:37What a huge match pass!
00:06:39Lashley and Regal!
00:06:41But Regal's angry as hell!
00:06:42He's so upset!
00:06:44And he'll play play!
00:06:46Lashley does Lashley!
00:06:47And Lashley should be!
00:06:48I think the animal has just become a beast!
00:07:08I'm the man!
00:07:10I'm the predator!
00:07:11And on the top of the food chain!
00:07:19Batista's all fired up!
00:07:21Batista bomb!
00:07:23Here he comes!
00:07:24Oh, my God, it is!
00:07:26The power of the animal!

00:08:17Hoping to keep the momentum going here tonight!

00:08:49He is one-half of the tag team champions!
00:08:53Brian Kendrick!
00:08:55The tag team champions are a strange merge, to say the least,
00:08:58but they are on top of the tag team world!
00:09:01Oh, no doubt, Brian Kendrick and athleticism of that back flip!
00:09:04Paul London and himself, Brian Kendrick,

00:09:17It's one of my, uh,
00:09:19boom bars, I love you to say,
00:09:21it's not really a Mexican talk.
00:09:22Come on, right?
00:09:23Yeah, that.
00:09:25The matchup's set to get underway,
00:09:27Kendrick Crazy one-on-one,
00:09:28and I'll tell you, Taz, speaking of crazy,
00:09:30you were at ringside the other night
00:09:32for the WWE vs. ECW head-to-head competition.
00:09:36It's out of control!
00:09:38I-I didn't know if it was out of control.
00:09:40I had fun!
00:09:41I thought it was great!
00:09:42I thought it was a great night,
00:09:43and I thought it was about time
00:09:45we got to see the Raw and SmackDown superstars
00:09:48be forced to up their game.
00:09:50Well, I gotta ask you,
00:09:51you were pretty rah-rah ECW this past Wednesday night.
00:09:55Why wouldn't I?
00:09:56I mean, come on, you know where my roots lie.
00:09:57You know where I go.
00:09:58That's where I got my start.
00:10:00That's where I...
00:10:01Shoulders down, bridge by Kendrick.
00:10:02That's where I called my name to this industry,
00:10:05and, uh...
00:10:05Uh-oh!
00:10:06Hey, look, at the end of the day,
00:10:07that's who gave me an opportunity
00:10:09to make a living in this industry.
00:10:11Before Prince McMahon did,
00:10:12it was Paul Heyman.
00:10:13Shoulders down for Kendrick,
00:10:14may have him super crazy nice counter.
00:10:16There's shoulders down again,
00:10:17and Brian Kendrick taking it to crazy here,
00:10:20and a nice bridge there by Super Crazy,
00:10:22who was involved with ECW beginning of his career.
00:10:25Anybody who was part of ECW...
00:10:28Oh!
00:10:28Hey!
00:10:31Brian Kendrick up over the top,
00:10:33super crazy.
00:10:33Oh!
00:10:34Anybody who was part...
00:10:35Here's a cover again!
00:10:37A lot of near falls, look at this.
00:10:38Kendrick with a counter.
00:10:40Right, it's for the third time.
00:10:41Whoa!
00:10:41Nice deep arm drag.
00:10:42Beautiful arm drag.
00:10:43Japanese arm drag right there,
00:10:46and a standoff.
00:10:47Not like the half-Mexican standoff,
00:10:48because one's Mexican wearing a flag.
00:10:50Anybody who started or wasn't anywhere at the time in ECW,
00:10:54you don't forget those times,
00:10:56like a super crazy,
00:10:57because it was great times,
00:11:00and now we're on the cusp of it being great again,
00:11:03because as we know, ECW's back.
00:11:05Well, what about the superstars
00:11:06who didn't get their start in ECW
00:11:09and are heading to the new ECW?
00:11:12Look at the big show,
00:11:13the defection of the big show from Raw
00:11:15to the new ECW this past Wednesday night.
00:11:18Shocking.
00:11:18Yeah, absolutely shocking,
00:11:20and pardon the pun,
00:11:22gigantic news.
00:11:23I mean, let's face it.
00:11:24I mean, big show part of the new ECW,
00:11:27which I want to, you know,
00:11:28from what I understand,
00:11:29you know, I'm part of SmackDown,
00:11:31so just bear with me here,
00:11:32but from what I understand,
00:11:34you know, the new ECW
00:11:35is going to be different
00:11:36than the original ECW.
00:11:39Doesn't mean that's a bad thing.
00:11:41It's going to have a lot of the same elements of old,
00:11:43but with a new twist, a new taste on it.
00:11:45I think it's great.
00:11:46I'm telling you.
00:11:47Well, it's off on the right foot.
00:11:48Paul Heyman telling WWE.com earlier this week
00:11:51that head-to-head would be the biggest night
00:11:53in the history of ECW,
00:11:54and it looked like he was right.
00:11:56Oh, look at this.
00:11:57Oh, knee to the back.
00:11:58Super crazy's got Kendrick scouted
00:12:01the cover hook of the leg kick out.
00:12:03Nothing.
00:12:03I mean, on a side note,
00:12:04applying Kendrick and or Paul London
00:12:06would be a perfect fit in the new ECW,
00:12:09just my opinion.
00:12:09What, are you recruiting now?
00:12:10No, I'm not recruiting.
00:12:12I'm just stating my opinion.
00:12:14Back to the Big Show for one moment.
00:12:15A little bit later on
00:12:16on Friday Night SmackDown,
00:12:17we are going to show you what happened,
00:12:19the shocking defection of Big Show
00:12:21to ECW the other night.
00:12:23What a kick by Kendrick.
00:12:26Into the cover,
00:12:26hooks the leg crazy,
00:12:28and trouble kick out at two.
00:12:29Speaking of Big Show and ECW,
00:12:31I got a funny feeling
00:12:32that Paul Heyman will bring out
00:12:34the violent and vicious side
00:12:35of the largest athlete in the world
00:12:37in the Big Show.
00:12:38I think he already is, Taz.
00:12:39Right now at WWE.com,
00:12:41there's an exclusive interview
00:12:43with Big Show,
00:12:44and I think Paul Heyman
00:12:45is already pulling that vicious
00:12:46out of the seven-footer.
00:12:48Tornado.
00:12:50Here's the cover kick out at two.
00:12:51Tornado twisting power bomb
00:12:53by Super Crazy.
00:12:55Oh, man, I'll tell you.
00:12:56It looks psychosis.
00:12:57They're looking for the three there.
00:12:59Well, this would be a big victory
00:13:00for Super Crazy.
00:13:01Remember on Velocity
00:13:02on WWE.com this past weekend.
00:13:04The Mexicools knocked off
00:13:05London and Kendrickson
00:13:06non-title matchup.
00:13:08Two in a row
00:13:09with Baze to pick up the win.
00:13:11Taz has caught
00:13:11his tabletop submission here.
00:13:13This move was made famous
00:13:15in Japan,
00:13:16many pro wrestlers from Japan.
00:13:18And then it kind of affected
00:13:19the Mexico,
00:13:20just a super crazy
00:13:21on the school right here.
00:13:23Is this a submission maneuver?
00:13:24Well, now definitely
00:13:24it was a submission.
00:13:25This is a different type
00:13:26of submission.
00:13:28It affects your neck right here.
00:13:29It's twisting up Taz.
00:13:30Kendrick in trouble
00:13:32finally makes it to the ropes.
00:13:36Super Crazy
00:13:37in control,
00:13:38psychosis,
00:13:39trying to will his partner
00:13:40on outside the ring.
00:13:41Big matchup
00:13:42for Super Crazy
00:13:43and the Mexicools.
00:13:47Kendrick off the ropes.
00:13:49Oh, look at this.
00:13:49Kendrick
00:13:50close it up.
00:13:50It's not a package
00:13:51may have him here.
00:13:52Shoulders down again.
00:13:53No, kick out.
00:13:54At two by Super Crazy.
00:13:55And at left
00:13:56cross body,
00:13:56at left body slim,
00:13:58cross body press position
00:13:59at small package.
00:14:00Very impressive
00:14:02by Kendrick.
00:14:04And Super Crazy
00:14:04kicked to the face.
00:14:06That was like a punk
00:14:07of Brian Kendrick.
00:14:08Like Mexican football.
00:14:10And that's soccer.
00:14:11No, I meant like
00:14:11real football with helmets.
00:14:13They really don't play
00:14:13that in Mexican.
00:14:14And here we go,
00:14:15a knee driven
00:14:16into the spine.
00:14:17You get all the information.
00:14:18You know about languages,
00:14:19you know about sports,
00:14:20international sports.
00:14:22It's amazing.
00:14:23Exactly.
00:14:23You know everything
00:14:24except wrestling.
00:14:26Super Crazy,
00:14:26of course,
00:14:27will be involved Sunday
00:14:28at ECW One Night Stand.
00:14:30Teaming with Tajiri
00:14:31against the FBI
00:14:33in what should be
00:14:33an interesting matchup.
00:14:35I could have told you that.
00:14:37But of course,
00:14:38you've got to kind of
00:14:38off-cut me, right?
00:14:40Yeah.
00:14:40I figured it's not
00:14:41what I'd want to get it
00:14:41into this matchup.
00:14:43Here's Super Crazy,
00:14:44hook of the leg,
00:14:44shoulders down,
00:14:45and a kick out
00:14:46by Kendrick at two.
00:14:48I gotta tell you,
00:14:48it's a hell of a match
00:14:49though, not for nothing.
00:14:50You know,
00:14:50he's psychosis.
00:14:51Super Crazy's partner,
00:14:51he's impressed.
00:14:52Super Crazy continues
00:14:55the pressure
00:14:56on Brian Kendrick.
00:14:57Psychosis right there.
00:14:58He can't quite
00:14:58get back into the game.
00:15:00And lunch,
00:15:00and lunch early
00:15:02with Super Crazy and psychosis.
00:15:05We had a little salad,
00:15:07drank a little coffee.
00:15:09So what did you guys eat
00:15:10for lunch?
00:15:11Just a salad?
00:15:12I'm trying to watch
00:15:13my carbon cake.
00:15:14I got a match coming up,
00:15:15but Super Crazy
00:15:16and now psychosis didn't.
00:15:17But we had fun,
00:15:18you know,
00:15:18we had a tour.
00:15:19We went back.
00:15:20I'm sure you had a blast
00:15:22and by the way,
00:15:23maybe you should have
00:15:23a few more salads
00:15:24and watch a few more carbs.
00:15:26What is wrong with you tonight?
00:15:27You're a wise guy.
00:15:28I don't need your mouth.
00:15:29I didn't say anything.
00:15:30I said absolutely nothing.
00:15:32Look at this.
00:15:33May have him here.
00:15:34Shoulders are down.
00:15:35I thought they were.
00:15:36They are down.
00:15:36Perfect position
00:15:37and a kick out at two.
00:15:40And Super Crazy
00:15:40pulls it up
00:15:41with a clothesline.
00:15:43Had to be,
00:15:43a referee had to be counting
00:15:44Super Crazy's shoulders out
00:15:45because Kendrick's won't.
00:15:47Here's a cover again.
00:15:48Another hook of the leg.
00:15:50Kendrick kicks out,
00:15:50but Super Crazy
00:15:51has got Kendrick
00:15:52on the run here, Taz.
00:15:53Well, I mean,
00:15:54look, both these guys
00:15:55have, you know,
00:15:56very similar style.
00:16:00Super Crazy's got
00:16:00something else in mind,
00:16:01maybe another submission.
00:16:03Psychosis leaving
00:16:04the tears at ringside.
00:16:06Come on, Brian!
00:16:07Come on, Brian!
00:16:08Come on, Brian!
00:16:09Come on, Brian!
00:16:09Come on, Brian!
00:16:10Come on, Brian!
00:16:10Come on, Brian!
00:16:10Come on, Brian!
00:16:10Come on, Brian!
00:16:11Back down, fans
00:16:11trying to get
00:16:12Brian Kendrick
00:16:12back in the matchup.
00:16:14Super Crazy continues
00:16:15the pressure
00:16:15and he's driven
00:16:15into the spine.
00:16:16You see Paul London
00:16:17in Psychosis.
00:16:18The punter's looking on.
00:16:22Kendrick with those
00:16:23elbows to the ribs
00:16:23of Super Crazy.
00:16:27Looks like Kendrick
00:16:28might be hurt.
00:16:29Harley, get up.
00:16:32Look at this!
00:16:33Look at this!
00:16:33Look at this!
00:16:34Oh!
00:16:34Planting Super Crazy
00:16:35with a spinning DDT
00:16:37and Brian Kendrick
00:16:38could be the opening
00:16:39he needs.
00:16:40Roll Super Crazy over.
00:16:41Here we go.
00:16:42Here we go!
00:16:42Puts the leg.
00:16:43Good heavens!
00:16:44Kick at it too again.
00:16:46Kendrick getting
00:16:47a little frustrated.
00:16:48I thought Kendrick
00:16:50was going to get
00:16:50the win there.
00:16:52So close,
00:16:53another near fall
00:16:54for Brian Kendrick.
00:16:55Going up to the top row.
00:16:56Super Crazy
00:16:57to his feet as well.
00:16:58A right hand.
00:16:58Kendrick with rights
00:16:59of his own.
00:17:01Right against the side
00:17:02of the head,
00:17:02against the ear there.
00:17:03Another one three
00:17:04in a row
00:17:05by Super Crazy
00:17:06to that head
00:17:07of Kendrick.
00:17:07Now look at this.
00:17:09Lows to the spine.
00:17:10Brian Kendrick
00:17:10realizing he's in trouble.
00:17:12Trying to battle out.
00:17:13Uh-oh.
00:17:13Both men top rope.
00:17:15What is this?
00:17:16Oh my!
00:17:17From the top rope
00:17:18appears to the leg.
00:17:21Super Crazy
00:17:22impressive
00:17:22in the victory.
00:17:24You're not kidding, man.
00:17:27Super Crazy.
00:17:29Looks like a bird
00:17:29in the front.
00:17:31Looks like someone
00:17:31might have got hurt
00:17:32over that.
00:17:32Either one of these,
00:17:33man, maybe
00:17:33Kendrick
00:17:34with that front
00:17:35headed arm
00:17:35looked like a suplex.
00:17:37That was
00:17:37Oh no.
00:17:39Oh my.
00:17:41No, you don't think
00:17:42Oh no.
00:17:43Seven foot three.
00:17:45Four hundred twenty pounds.
00:17:46The great colleague.
00:17:48That monster
00:17:48making his way
00:17:49to the ring.
00:17:50I don't know why.
00:17:50What the hell
00:17:51is he doing out here?
00:17:52I have no idea
00:17:53what's going to
00:17:55stop him anyway.
00:17:55This guy's a freak.
00:17:56Paul London
00:17:57desperately trying
00:17:58to drag his partner
00:17:59out of the ring,
00:18:01Brian Kendrick.
00:18:02Get him out.
00:18:02Get out of him.
00:18:03Wait a minute.
00:18:04The great colleague
00:18:05has got
00:18:06Kendrick's in front hand.
00:18:07But London's got
00:18:08a steel chair.
00:18:09Look at this.
00:18:10Hit him right
00:18:11across the spine.
00:18:12Uh oh.
00:18:13He made him mad.
00:18:14Oh my God.
00:18:15Double headbutts
00:18:16Rodney,
00:18:17the tag team champions
00:18:18to the Met below.
00:18:20Never seen that before.
00:18:21Oh my God.
00:18:22Kendrick's in trouble.
00:18:24At least London
00:18:24tried to help him out.
00:18:25But look at this.
00:18:27Oh my God.
00:18:29Put him down.
00:18:30Oh my.
00:18:31Don't do that.
00:18:32Oh my God.
00:18:32He's carrying
00:18:33onto his partner.
00:18:35Outdone the ring.
00:18:36Now psychosis.
00:18:39Psychosis got out of there.
00:18:41Wait a minute.
00:18:43Psychosis hightailing it.
00:18:44He's gonna go help
00:18:45Super Crazy.
00:18:47Psychosis is
00:18:48putting her Super Crazy
00:18:49left alone
00:18:50with the great colleague.
00:18:51Go get him Psychosis.
00:18:52Hit him at the can.
00:18:53Do something.
00:18:56Looks like
00:18:56King Khali
00:18:59with a boot
00:18:59to the skull
00:19:00of Super Crazy.
00:19:04Psychosis keeps
00:19:05helping out.
00:19:07He just pulled the skull
00:19:13of Super Crazy.
00:19:14Super Crazy's
00:19:15in so much trouble
00:19:16right now.
00:19:18Oh my God.
00:19:20Oh!
00:19:24Psychosis now.
00:19:27You gotta be kidding me.
00:19:29The great Khali
00:19:33What's that
00:19:34what's this doing?
00:19:36He's running.
00:19:37He didn't even
00:19:37help his partner out.
00:19:39You can't leave
00:19:39the opponent high and dry.
00:19:41Well he just did.
00:19:42Even if you get
00:19:43your rear end kick
00:19:44you can't leave
00:19:44him high and dry.
00:19:46You don't do that
00:19:46to your partner.
00:19:47What a monster.
00:19:48This man Khali
00:19:50has been unstoppable.
00:19:53Watch this.
00:19:54End of the matchup.
00:19:56Super Crazy.
00:19:58Absolutely unbelievable
00:19:59it puts up the victory.
00:20:01But no time
00:20:02to celebrate.
00:20:03Because Khali
00:20:04came to the ring.
00:20:05The steel chair
00:20:06in the back
00:20:07hardly fazed him.
00:20:09And this monster
00:20:10destroying
00:20:11the tag team champions.
00:20:16The man's unstoppable.
00:20:21Great Khali
00:20:22and continues to
00:20:23install his will
00:20:24on everyone
00:20:25that is in his path.
00:20:27Well it wasn't
00:20:28his path was psychosis
00:20:29because he ran
00:20:30for the hills.
00:20:31Only one man
00:20:32may be able to
00:20:32potentially stop
00:20:34the great Khali
00:20:35and that's
00:20:35The Undertaker.
00:20:36But Undertaker
00:20:37hasn't been able
00:20:38to stop him yet
00:20:39and unfortunately
00:20:39we haven't seen
00:20:40The Undertaker
00:20:41in weeks.
00:20:44And tonight
00:20:44on SmackDown
00:20:45William Regal

00:20:46of trying to stop
00:20:47the inset
00:20:48United States Champion
00:20:50Lashley for King Booker.
00:20:51But if Lashley wins
00:20:53he'll get his hands
00:20:54on the King
00:20:55next week.
00:20:56The World Champion
00:21:01is in action tonight.
00:21:0248 hours

00:27:38I agree with that
00:27:40he's the toughest
00:27:41175 pounds
00:27:43Nunzio
00:27:45it's also weird
00:27:46for this man
00:27:46Nunzio
00:27:47who apparently
00:27:48feels like
00:27:49he's been betrayed

00:27:50his long time
00:27:51friend Vito

00:27:58Nunzio
00:27:59seems to be
00:27:59feeling
00:28:00I mean
00:28:00long time friends
00:28:01of Vito
00:28:01didn't realize
00:28:02that apparently
00:28:03this has been going on
00:28:04well just because
00:28:05Gugio kept the secret
00:28:07for a while
00:28:07that doesn't
00:28:08I mean
00:28:08Vito don't give a damn
00:28:10he's proud
00:28:11I guess of this

00:28:30I mean
00:28:31from Nunzio's point of view
00:28:33I mean
00:28:33it has to be a little
00:28:34unsettling to see
00:28:35Vito like this
00:28:35but it's been a wild
00:28:36week for Nunzio
00:28:37as well Taz
00:28:37I mean
00:28:38a lot on his mind
00:28:39he's here on

00:28:46actually if you listen
00:28:47to what Joey Styles
00:28:48said on Wednesday
00:28:49sitting next to me
00:28:50at the head to head
00:28:52his name is
00:28:53Little Guido

00:29:03you're on Smackdown
00:29:04tonight
00:29:05after what happened
00:29:05on Wednesday
00:29:06it's been a bizarre week
00:29:07one night standstill
00:29:09to come on Sunday
00:29:10Nunzio with a right hand
00:29:13trying to get back
00:29:14into this matchup
00:29:14against Vito
00:29:15but to no avail
00:29:16that was a knee
00:29:16right to the temple
00:29:17Vito just lining up
00:29:20Nunzio
00:29:21second rope
00:29:28caught in midair
00:29:29uh oh
00:29:29driven into the corner
00:29:30and now the shoulders
00:29:32to the
00:29:33to the gut of Nunzio
00:29:34great physical attack
00:29:37by Vito here tonight
00:29:38it does look a little
00:29:40strange
00:29:40with a guy in the ring
00:29:41it does look strange
00:29:43I'll agree with you
00:29:44on that point
00:29:44I'll tell you
00:29:46it's like
00:29:47you know
00:29:48in the ring
00:29:48he's doing his thing
00:29:49man
00:29:49he's beating down
00:29:50with somebody
00:29:51in this case
00:29:51it's his former friend
00:29:52or his current friend
00:29:53whatever you want
00:29:54for Nunzio
00:29:54he said before
00:29:55you've known Vito
00:29:56for a long time
00:29:57he is one tough guy
00:29:58oh he is
00:29:59there's no doubt
00:30:00about that
00:30:00trust me
00:30:01I've known Vito
00:30:01a lot of years
00:30:02you know
00:30:03from the same neighborhood
00:30:04and all that
00:30:05I guess maybe
00:30:07I didn't really know him
00:30:08Vito wearing Nunzio down
00:30:12you know
00:30:13a lot of times
00:30:14when you're more comfortable
00:30:14with yourself
00:30:15and you can
00:30:16you know
00:30:16you can come out
00:30:17and kind of exemplify
00:30:18and show your confidence
00:30:20and then that raises
00:30:21your game
00:30:21and I guess that's the case
00:30:23with Vito
00:30:23and the woman clothing
00:30:24you know
00:30:25well maybe you should try that
00:30:26that might help your game
00:30:27you need a little help
00:30:28I think Vito's at peace
00:30:29with himself here
00:30:30that's what it's all about
00:30:31and now he can concentrate
00:30:32on what he has to do
00:30:33I mean think about it
00:30:34it's been probably a secret
00:30:35for Vito for almost
00:30:37his entire life
00:30:37that he's been like this
00:30:38you know what
00:30:38maybe Vito's starting to trend
00:30:40maybe next week
00:30:41you start wearing a dress
00:30:42a brawl
00:30:43I don't think that's gonna happen
00:30:45oh look
00:30:45drop hit by Nunzio
00:30:46they have Vito here
00:30:48hook that leg
00:30:49kick out in two
00:30:50the point I'm trying to make is
00:30:51Vito's probably been living
00:30:52with his secret
00:30:53for most of his life
00:30:54oh wow
00:30:55oh my god
00:30:56and right hand

00:31:20what kind of a man he was
00:31:22here tonight

00:31:25no doubt
00:31:26what a physical attack

00:33:12and your beloved
00:33:12King Booker
00:34:19This was degraded last week, and then Lashley imposed his will on William Regal here tonight.
00:34:26That's for sure.
00:34:27At the top of the show, he did that.
00:34:28And I know that our imperial majesty, oh, God, I have the utmost respect for King Booker.
00:34:35General manager Theodore Long making the next matchup, Lashley versus Regal.
00:34:41If Lashley wins, then he will finally get his hands on King Booker next week on SmackDown.
00:34:49Well, Booker, Booker's going to have a bird's eye view on the throne itself.
00:34:54All hail King Booker.
00:34:57Look at the smile of King Booker.
00:34:58All hail King Booker!
00:35:04All hail King Booker!
00:35:09All hail King Booker!
00:35:18All hail King Booker!
00:35:23The man, King Booker called a peasant last week, the United States Champion.
00:35:34Uh-oh.
00:35:35I think they're going to go, watch out!
00:35:38Regal from behind, King Booker drawing Ashley to him, allowing his pass forward, Son of
00:35:44being Regal to attack the United States Champion, and King Booker's so proud of himself for
00:35:50that strategy.
00:35:51No doubt about it.
00:35:52Now William Regal getting him some of the United States Champion, Lashley.
00:35:57Remember what the stake here, Baz, if Lashley picks up the victory, he will go one-on-one
00:36:02with King Booker next week.
00:36:03This matchup officially underway, but Lashley has not been able to get out of the box as
00:36:08of yet.
00:36:09But Lashley did get out of the box as part of Team WWE, and the Battle Royal Wednesday
00:36:13had head-to-head.
00:36:13Oh, Lashley looks great on Wednesday night, no doubt.
00:36:16Tell you what, Mr. Teddy Long, the general manager of SmackDown, beware.
00:36:20Of course, Paul Heyman might have his eye on Mr. Lashley.
00:36:23What?
00:36:24You gotta be keeping...
00:36:25Oh, now you're gonna give me the silence, Regal.
00:36:28Regal knows how to hurt you, that's no doubt.
00:36:31Regal knows how to dissect your body.
00:36:34Boop to the face of Lashley.
00:36:35Oh, watch this.
00:36:36Regal explodes off the ropes and runs into the big man.
00:36:39And King Booker cannot believe what he's seen.
00:36:41The United States Champion beginning to pick apart William Regal.
00:36:45Oh, now Lashley looks to be in control, man.
00:36:48Oh, look at this.
00:36:49Particle suplex to William Regal, the former National Champion.
00:36:52King Booker realizing if Lashley wins, he's gonna have to get the ring with the United
00:36:55States Champ next week.
00:36:57Well, Lashley's, you know, the United States Champion is so explosive and dominant right
00:37:03there.
00:37:03Oh, oh, that's not good.
00:37:04He got hung up on the rope there, Lashley.
00:37:06United States Champion hung up his knee desperately trying to pull himself back into the ring.
00:37:11But for William Regal, this is nothing but a bullseye.
00:37:14And while, I mean, Lashley's hung up upside down, oh, sweet.
00:37:18He squirts his upper body and neck and head and stuff.
00:37:20That's what a man like Regal loves to see.
00:37:25And so does the King.
00:37:26King Booker wants to see it.
00:37:28Regal, a direct kick right to that knee that got hung up.
00:37:30Now, Regal will smell the blood, will attack the wound of the United States Champion.
00:37:39Now, breaking down the body of Lashley, that half-nelson with a version of a choke in there,
00:37:45too.
00:37:46This is where Regal is so dangerous.
00:37:48He can attack a body part that's hurt.
00:37:51King Booker realizing it, likes what he sees.
00:37:54Now, Regal's impressing the King.
00:37:56King Booker's impressed.
00:37:57Yeah, the King, he really showed he was a good, humbled King, Lashley.
00:38:01He is a humble King.
00:38:03What are you talking about?
00:38:04Calling Lashley a peasant.
00:38:06Mickey Finley and Regal forced Lashley to kiss his feet.
00:38:09Well, Lashley's not the King.
00:38:11So I guess that would make us all peasants.
00:38:14We're his subjects.
00:38:14We're King Booker's subjects.
00:38:15We're his subjects.
00:38:16We're his subjects.
00:38:16We're his subjects.
00:38:16We're his subjects.
00:38:16We're his subjects.
00:38:16I didn't say I want to kiss his feet.
00:38:19I'm just saying that, you know, maybe we're peasants.
00:38:21The United States Champion trying to battle back into the matchup with the South Park Regal.
00:38:26Show won't be the first time you licked someone's foot.
00:38:28That's nice.
00:38:29Regal with another left hand.
00:38:30Straight on the jaw of Lashley.
00:38:33Just think of the humiliation for the United States Champion last week.
00:38:37It was degrading, no doubt.
00:38:39I mean, here's the cover off the knee to the face.
00:38:42Kick at it, too.
00:38:44I'd be the first to say that quite possibly.
00:38:48We're getting in a kick out.
00:38:49Maybe Booker, King Booker, did go a little far.
00:38:53Maybe, you know?
00:38:53Maybe?
00:38:55Maybe.
00:38:55Stretch him.
00:38:57What are you talking about?
00:38:58They attacked the man from behind.
00:39:00They mocked him three-on-one.
00:39:01They forced him to bow.
00:39:02And then they made him in kisses the King's boots.
00:39:04And you maybe think he went too far.
00:39:07Oh, yeah.
00:39:08I think maybe he went too far.
00:39:10Yeah.
00:39:11What is this, France in the 1500s?
00:39:13No, he already went too far.
00:39:15What are you talking about, France?
00:39:17What does that mean?
00:39:18King, forget it.
00:39:20I'm not going to get it in.
00:39:20Who's the next movie?
00:39:21As Regal, that face lock on the United States Champion,
00:39:24back to his feet.
00:39:25And there's the power of Lashley.
00:39:27Driving Regal into the tunnel.
00:39:28The shoulders to the gut.
00:39:30Doubling Regal over.
00:39:31And King Booker's a little concern and rifle himself.
00:39:36Oh, my God.
00:39:37Lashley is so intense.
00:39:39Impactful also.
00:39:42Lashley does everything with intent,
00:39:44powerful, swift movements.
00:39:45Come on.
00:39:46Lashley winning the United States Championship
00:39:49a couple of weeks ago,
00:39:50defeating JBL in his first title opportunity.
00:39:54Of course, JBL now retired.
00:39:56Hook to the leg.
00:39:57Kick out after two.
00:39:58Forced to quit.
00:40:00Do it for the Queen.
00:40:01You heard Booker right there.
00:40:03He said, do it for the Queen.
00:40:05Do it for the Queen, Regal.
00:40:07Look how Booker can just go around
00:40:08naming people, Kings and Queens
00:40:10and everything else.
00:40:11He's the King.
00:40:12Of course he can be.
00:40:13He earned that right by the way.
00:40:15Didn't he earn that right?
00:40:17He did.
00:40:18He won the Catering Tournament
00:40:19thanks to Finley, by the way.
00:40:20Look at this one.
00:40:21Regal sucks.
00:40:22Thank you, Lord.
00:40:23Yes.
00:40:24Queen Showbill even playing the part.
00:40:26She's got the Queen clap down.
00:40:27The Queen wave.
00:40:29Hey, girl picks.
00:40:30She's not playing the part.
00:40:31She's the Queen.
00:40:32The forearm.
00:40:35The side of the head.
00:40:36Oh, look at that.
00:40:37That's the power of the United States Champion.
00:40:40And Regal with a knee to the gut.
00:40:42Nice forearm there.
00:40:43Big left hand by the man who was brought up
00:40:46fighting in the streets of Blackpool, England.
00:40:49And King Booker so proud of Mr. Regal.
00:40:52And why shouldn't he be?
00:40:53Drop kick.
00:40:54You don't see that often from Regal.
00:40:55King Booker loves what he sees.
00:40:58Cover.
00:40:58Forearm in the face.
00:40:59Kick out by the United States Champion.
00:41:01Remember, Regal.
00:41:02And here's another cover, another kick out.
00:41:04If Regal beats Lashley.
00:41:06Lashley will not have an opportunity at the King.
00:41:08What is he doing now?
00:41:09Driving the shin, the end step of his boot there,
00:41:12and his shin across the throat.
00:41:14Ah, King Booker's so proud of him.
00:41:16Why do you go work for the King?
00:41:18You say this to me all the time.
00:41:19I don't work for the King.
00:41:21I don't want to work for him.
00:41:21You're over here extorting his virtues.
00:41:24Come on.
00:41:24Hey, Booker's your King.
00:41:25He's everybody's King.
00:41:26Not my King.
00:41:27No, he's your King.
00:41:27Maybe a name only.
00:41:29Maybe I should tell him that he's not your King.
00:41:31Sure you will.
00:41:31So you run right back there after the show and say,
00:41:33Hey, King Booker, Mike McCullough,
00:41:35saying that you're not the King.
00:41:36No, I'm not the school at this desk.
00:41:38And look at this.
00:41:39Regal with a big left hand.
00:41:40Lashley whipped into the corner.
00:41:42Big boot to the side of the head.
00:41:44Brutal with that kick.
00:41:45Maybe the opening the United States Champion needs.
00:41:48Regal back to his feet.
00:41:49The court.
00:41:50Belly to belly throw by the former National Champion.
00:41:52Oh, look at this.
00:41:54Lashley.
00:41:55Another throw by Lashley.
00:41:57Lashley's gaining momentum.
00:42:00Oh, look at that look in Lashley's face.
00:42:02Look at the King's face.
00:42:03The King is scared to death.
00:42:07Lashley's sending Regal up.
00:42:09Uh-oh.
00:42:13Countered by Regal.
00:42:14Nice back body drop.
00:42:18I think even the King's shot alone.
00:42:20Oh-ho-ho!
00:42:21A little sweat on his brow after that little,
00:42:23all that flurry by Lashley.
00:42:25Talk about how physical Lashley is.
00:42:27How about how physical Regal is?
00:42:29No doubt about that.
00:42:30Now, Regal with a steel chair in hand.
00:42:32Uh-oh.
00:42:32Oh, this is not good for Lashley now.
00:42:35Not good at all.
00:42:36I can't even read it.
00:42:39Oh!
00:42:39In a spear!
00:42:40A spear by Lashley!
00:42:42Regal went to use the chair.
00:42:44Lashley exploded into the spear.
00:42:46Lashley back into the ring.
00:42:50Oh, where's the King going?
00:42:52I have no idea.
00:42:54Regal could have a crack.
00:42:56We're not going to have a spear.
00:42:57He's Booker now.
00:42:59I think King Booker's trying to help Regal.
00:43:07Let's raise it.
00:43:07Can't get him in the ring.
00:43:12King's trying to get Regal back in the ring.
00:43:15Oh, my God.
00:43:17He can't do it.
00:43:18Wait a minute.
00:43:18Regal's been counted out.
00:43:21Oh, no.
00:43:22The winner of this match as a result of a countout,
00:43:25the United States champion, Bobby Lashley.
00:43:30Do you know what this means?
00:43:32Do you know what this means?
00:43:33I know what it means.
00:43:33Lashley won the match.
00:43:35That means Lashley gets King Booker this week here on SmackDown.
00:43:39That's not a happy King right there.
00:43:41Oh, hell no.
00:43:42Hell no.
00:43:43You're mine.
00:43:45Look at this.
00:43:50King Booker is not happy.
00:43:52Oh, my God.
00:43:53Ladies and gentlemen, this wild Friday Night SmackDown rolls on
00:43:57because still to come tonight,
00:43:59Rey Mysterio's Hell Week continues.
00:44:02Tonight, the world champion goes one-on-one
00:44:04with the tough Irishman, Finley.
00:44:10And there is Ashley.

00:44:13Coming up next, Taz, welcome to summer.
00:44:16It is the summer kickoff bikini contest
00:44:19hosted by none other than The Miz.
00:44:22Sounds good.

00:44:27Buckle up.
00:44:28We'll be in the show.

00:44:37Just kidding.
00:44:38But it is summertime.
00:44:39And the way SmackDown starts off the summer
00:44:41is with a nice Diva bikini contest.

00:44:59And we all know why.
00:45:00She's hot.
00:45:01She is Ashley.
00:45:02Diva number two is a bombshell.
00:45:14And I think you all agree with me when I say
00:45:16this girl couldn't drown even if she tried.
00:45:20She's buoyant.
00:45:22Give it up for Jillian.
00:45:24Diva number three is the hottest interviewer
00:45:31on SmackDown.
00:45:33And she'll do anything for a scoop.
00:45:36And I mean at-net-thing.
00:45:39She is Crystal.
00:45:40Diva number four likes to teach Naughty Boys
00:45:51how to play nice.
00:45:53She is Michelle McCool.
00:45:56Give it up.
00:46:01You ladies look amazing.
00:46:10All right, Misfits, this contest is for you.
00:46:18So whatever Diva you want to win,
00:46:20just cheer for her the loudest.
00:46:22So let's get this bad boy started
00:46:24with the lovely Ashley.

00:46:32Do your thing.
00:46:34Hello.
00:46:38That is amazing.
00:46:40You look amazing.
00:46:44The rocker look is working for you.
00:46:49Wow.
00:46:51All right, everyone wipe your drool off your mouths.
00:46:55Because number two is Jillian.
00:47:03There you go.
00:47:04Nice and slow.
00:47:06Just like how all the men like it.
00:47:08Wave it around, twirl, play with the hair.
00:47:12Maybe pull it.
00:47:13I don't know.
00:47:14Whatever you're feeling.
00:47:16This is awesome.
00:47:17You're bad.
00:47:18You're bad.
00:47:19You're a tiger, baby.
00:47:23This is the hardest job in the world.
00:47:25Everyone give it up for Crystal.
00:47:27This is the section.
00:47:31You need the kidney that you own things.
00:47:33Yes, indeed.
00:47:37Hello.
00:47:41Interesting, isn't it?
00:47:44Wow.
00:47:46And we got to shake, baby.
00:47:47We got to shake.
00:47:50Shake it like a soul.
00:47:51Shake it.
00:47:51Can you do that one more time?
00:47:58Just checking.
00:48:00And last but not least, everyone give it up for Michelle McCool.
00:48:07Go ahead, guys.
00:48:09Give it to us.
00:48:11Give it to us.
00:48:13Go ahead.
00:48:14Yes, there you go.
00:48:14Go ahead.
00:48:16Take off your stuff.
00:48:17Hold on, miss.
00:48:21Now, lately, there's been a lot of people out there criticizing female school teachers.
00:48:28And you know who really bugs me?
00:48:30The media.
00:48:32They just love to criticize about the extracurricular activities that some female teachers have with
00:48:38their students.
00:48:39And ladies, after seeing how the crowd reacted to your C-plus bodies, it's obvious that my A-plus
00:49:01figure and my needs will never be fulfilled by anybody in this building.
00:49:13My, are we conceited?
00:49:15I guess we're all not teachers' pets, huh?
00:49:19All right, let's find a winner to this bikini contest.
00:49:23Do y'all think Ashley should be the winner?
00:49:33That's pretty good.
00:49:34Or how about Jillian?
00:49:42And what about Crystal?
00:49:43Ladies and gentlemen, I think we started the summer off right with your winner of the
00:49:53bikini contest, Ashley!
00:49:57Say it, girl!
00:49:59Give another one!
00:50:00Give another one!
00:50:01Get up on there!
00:50:02There you go!
00:50:06Beautiful!
00:50:06Beautiful!
00:50:06Beautiful!
00:50:13Well, check this out right here.
00:50:17The return of my man, Mr. Kennedy!
00:50:22Oh, that's tonight.
00:50:24I love Kennedy.
00:50:25And still to come tonight, the world champion raised a spirit over the line on his mind,
00:50:29including an offer on the table to jump the ECW.
00:50:32He must put it all in the back burner and concentrate on the tough Irishman Finley tonight.
00:50:38And now, get in the zone with a delicately smack of the night, brought to you by AutoZone.
00:50:48Get in the zone.
00:50:50Mark Henry with Benoit outside the ring.
00:50:52This does not look good.
00:50:54Blowing!
00:50:55Benoit!
00:50:56Into the steel post!
00:50:58Oh!
00:50:59Get Benoit driven in the post!
00:51:00You need help out here.
00:51:01You gotta break the...
00:51:02Get this guy off of him!
00:51:06The phone!
00:51:07We gotta get you on the spot!
00:51:09Get you out of here!
00:51:12And those injuries to Chris Benoit has, sort of the final straw.
00:51:16Make no mistake about it.
00:51:17Henry made a decision for Chris Benoit to take an indefinite sabbatical a lot easier.
00:51:25The following contest is scheduled for one fall, making his way to the ring from Sillsby, Texas.
00:51:32Weighing in at 400 pounds, the world's strongest man.
00:51:36And of course, what he did to Batista, who's returning in a month, Mark Henry, forcing Batista to relinquish the world championship after the injury suffered by Batista at the hands of this man.
00:52:00I'll tell you what, I'm on the record right now to say that I don't think anybody can stop Mark Henry.
00:52:09I mean, look at him.
00:52:10Check it out!
00:52:11Oh, my God.
00:52:12Raymond Rowe.
00:52:13Raymond Rowe.
00:52:14You gotta give the kid credit, man.
00:52:16He tried.
00:52:17Huh.
00:52:18Maybe how cold.
00:52:19I mean, it may be overall ready.
00:52:20I don't think this guy knows where the hell he's at.
00:52:21Not at all.
00:52:22The world's strongest man.
00:52:24The world's strongest man.
00:52:25There's the 400-pound splash.
00:52:29Mark Henry peeing it up again.
00:52:31The ring move.
00:52:32The ring move on that second splash in the corner.
00:52:35A couple inch that hurt the ring.
00:52:37Shib, they saw it.
00:52:38I'd love to have a seismograph out here.
00:52:41You'll see the tremors that Mark Henry has sent it through this building.
00:52:43Did you say seismograph?
00:52:45Yeah.
00:52:45Measures earthquakes.
00:52:46And look at Mark Henry, the world's strongest man.
00:52:49There's the world's strongest slam.
00:52:52Raymond Rowe, good night, I was going to say.
00:52:54No.
00:52:55See, now.
00:52:56What's the point?
00:52:57Well, the point is, I think Mark Henry wants the world to recognize who he is and what he does.
00:53:05Goodbye.
00:53:06Now it's over.
00:53:08The world's strongest man short-term.
00:53:10Here's your winner of the world's strongest man, Mark Henry.
00:53:16And it was over because Mark Henry, the world's strongest man,
00:53:19he's wanting it to be over.
00:53:20Yeah.
00:53:23Stay out of his way, I'm telling you.
00:53:31In 28 days, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
00:53:39Batista is coming back.
00:53:42Everybody in this stinking crowd knows what I'm capable of.
00:53:54Chris Benoit, where is he?
00:53:58Gone.
00:54:01And in 28 days, Batista, the worst mistake of your life is going to happen.
00:54:10You are coming back to the WWE.
00:54:21Ominous words from Mark Henry.
00:54:22Now, who's going to argue with the man?
00:54:24I mean, look at the track record.
00:54:26He has demolished everything and anything in his path.
00:54:30Mark Henry has been just devastated, just putting people's heads out, left to right.
00:54:36This is how the match started.
00:54:38Watch how this match started.
00:54:39Look at his clothesline.
00:54:40Damn near knocking this guy's head off his body.
00:54:43I'm telling you, taking a look at this.
00:54:44Batista.
00:54:45Batista better be ready.
00:54:47I'm telling you, man.
00:54:48Come to Philadelphia, you better beware.
00:54:51Mark Henry will stop at nothing to put people's heads out.
00:54:55Look at that face on him.
00:54:56That intensity.
00:54:58I'll tell you last week, I'll say it again.
00:55:00Mark Henry is damn near.
00:55:02You're going to be ready.
00:55:05Ladies and gentlemen, coming up next.
00:55:07Oh, I know you're happy about me.
00:55:09I love it.
00:55:10The long-awaited return of Mr. Kennedy.
00:55:14Mr. Kennedy's back in action next.
00:55:19Mr. Kennedy.
00:55:24The following contest in his schedule four, one foul.
00:55:38Pressing the ring from Green Bay, Wisconsin.
00:55:41Weighing in at 235 pounds.
00:55:46Mr.
00:55:49Let's do it right.
00:55:51Here we go.
00:55:51Oh, I missed this.
00:55:54Didn't you miss this?
00:55:55Yeah, I did.
00:55:56I'm here.
00:55:57I'm back.
00:55:59I am the man who is single-handedly changing Friday night.
00:56:07I am Mr. Kennedy.
00:56:19Wait for it now.
00:56:20Wait now.
00:56:20Here it comes.
00:56:21Get ready.
00:56:22Wait, wait, wait.
00:56:22Wait, wait.
00:56:23It's coming.
00:56:25Here it comes.
00:56:25Here it comes.
00:56:28Kennedy!
00:56:31Oh, he hasn't lost a beat.
00:56:33Oh, man.
00:56:34He's on point.
00:56:35We waited a long time for that.
00:56:37That don't sound too exciting.
00:56:38Oh, I'm really excited.
00:56:40Oh, I won't.
00:56:41These are that.
00:56:42No one likes you.
00:56:43Why did he do that?
00:56:43No, because no one likes you.
00:56:45You're an idiot.
00:56:46Nobody likes you.
00:56:47That's why.
00:56:47Oh, I'm really excited.
00:56:49I'm really excited.
00:56:49I'm really excited.
00:56:50Perlis from Maine, weighing in at 208 pounds, Scotty to Hoody!
00:56:58A big day tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen.
00:57:00Backed Out presents the Great American Bass, and tickets go on sale in Indianapolis, Indiana,
00:57:04at the Conseco Fieldhouse, 10 o'clock tomorrow.
00:57:07The Great American Bass coming your way, July 23rd.
00:57:10Whoa!
00:57:11And look at this, Mr. Kennedy wasting a little time, getting back into action.
00:57:15I'd be interested to see if Mr. Kennedy has any ring rust on him, the, uh, let's see.
00:57:23Ring rust has done something just like C, like it doesn't like stick out, like it rusts on his knees.
00:57:28Got him, you know, let's see, uh, nice hit car by Scotty, too hot it.
00:57:34Scotty trying to get fired up here in Kennedy's debut.
00:57:38This may have him here, shoulders down, he's got him!
00:57:41Kick out by Kennedy.
00:57:42Haven't needed to ask you all night.
00:57:43What the hell happened on Wednesday and head-to-head?
00:57:46Things exploded between you and King and Ringstein.
00:57:49I thought you were going to have your one-night stand match right there.
00:57:52Oh, no, that, that, that little scuffle that King and I had on Wednesday night.
00:57:57No!
00:57:57In my opinion, that's going to be longer than the match, because I'm, I'm telling you what.
00:58:01Here's the cover by Kennedy, hook to the light kick out.
00:58:03It's not going to take me long to put Jerry Lawler out this Sunday night at one-night stand.
00:58:08And what happened on Wednesday and head-to-head?
00:58:10Hey, look, I tried to be professional, I tried to keep my composure, but I lost it a little bit.
00:58:16It's all in long.
00:58:17It's all in long.
00:58:17It's all in long.
00:58:18I know.
00:58:18At the start of the show, you guys almost came to blow.
00:58:20I despise that man, and he despises me.
00:58:23You know, Jerry Lawler wants to talk about ECW and about weapons and about there's no wrestling.
00:58:27He's a guy that for most of his career in a little market like Memphis, Tennessee, booked
00:58:33himself throwing flame balls at people, throwing fire at people.
00:58:38So give me a break.
00:58:39He's going to talk about weapons.
00:58:40Let's, you want to be honest.
00:58:41Let's be honest.
00:58:42Not for nothing, Taz, and I don't want to poke you.
00:58:44I don't want to provoke you.
00:58:45But, hey, you are SmackDown.
00:58:48I mean, this is where you make your bread and butter now is SmackDown.
00:58:51Did I show up here tonight?
00:58:52You did, and you're doing a great job.
00:58:54But you were a little loud on Wednesday night.
00:58:56I mean, watching the show, it was a little uncomfortable.
00:58:59Oh, why?
00:58:59Why?
00:58:59Because you want to sit next to me?
00:59:00Was Joey Souser sitting next to me?
00:59:02No, it's just hearing the way that you were speaking about ECW.
00:59:04What a right hand.
00:59:05I'm proud of my roots, and I'll never forget my roots.
00:59:09And things, you know, hey, who knows what's going to happen?
00:59:12You never know in life.
00:59:12Oh!
00:59:13You never know what's going to happen.
00:59:16What are you talking about?
00:59:17I don't know.
00:59:17I think you never know what kind of curveball life's going to throw you.
00:59:22That's what I'm saying.
00:59:23Kennedy just threw Scottie a curveball.
00:59:28All right.
00:59:28Let's see.
00:59:29The top rope.
00:59:31Mr. Kennedy up to the top rope.
00:59:35Oh!
00:59:35Oh, my God.
00:59:37What the hell?
00:59:38The cover.
00:59:39Hook of the land.
00:59:40Mr. Kennedy successful.
00:59:42Bullock's return to SmackDown.
00:59:43Bullock's return to SmackDown.
00:59:43Something new out here.
00:59:48That's what makes Kennedy.
00:59:50That's what's going to make Kennedy a gigantic success here on SmackDown.
00:59:55He comes back and re-debuts, and he brings something new to the ring.
01:00:00That's a beautiful maneuver off the top.
01:00:02That front spring and heel on.
01:00:03Is this the part that I like the most?
01:00:05The winner of the match, once again, Mr. Kennedy.
01:00:19All right, no talk.
01:00:19No talk.
01:00:25Kennedy.
01:00:26He's going to change Friday night, much like SmackDown is doing.
01:00:50He's going to change Friday night.
01:01:21It's a big surprise for the opponent to see what your decision is.
01:01:21Thank you, man.
01:01:22I know you have.
01:01:23You know?
01:01:24It's been a rollercoaster, man.
01:01:26You're not kidding.
01:01:28Judgment Day.
01:01:29I can't forget about that, man.
01:01:30You took a chair shot for me.
01:01:32You know, JBL.
01:01:33Hey.
01:01:34Wacked you with the chair.
01:01:36And if I hadn't had a chance to tell you, I want to thank you for that.
01:01:40Gracias.
01:01:40You are.
01:01:41De nada, man.
01:01:41De nada.
01:01:41You're welcome.
01:01:42You're welcome.
01:01:42You're welcome.
01:01:43I said I had your back.
01:01:44I meant it.
01:01:44I know.
01:01:45I know you have.
01:01:45I want to ask you something, Vito.
01:01:49Yeah.
01:01:51Have you thought about reconsidering?
01:01:53No, man.
01:01:54Hold on, hold on.
01:01:54About coming back, man.
01:01:57Coming back to the ring.
01:01:59I'm asking you.
01:02:00Look, everybody's asking me that.
01:02:02I said I quit, man.
01:02:04I retired.
01:02:05I'm never going to wrestle again.
01:02:07Vito, look at this, man.
01:02:10Wrestling's in your blood.
01:02:12It's in my blood.
01:02:13I mean, we grew up.
01:02:15No wrestling.
01:02:17This is our life.
01:02:19This is what we live for.
01:02:21How can you just call it quits like that?
01:02:24I'm asking you.
01:02:26I'm asking you to reconsider.
01:02:29Chavito, remember one thing.
01:02:33In this business, never say never.
01:02:40Think about that.
01:02:41Well, Chavo will allow it on his mind.
01:02:51Rey Mysterio as well.
01:02:52Rey Mysterio set to do battle with a tough Irishman, Finley, next.
01:02:56And also, is Rey going to lead SmackDown and join ECW?
01:03:00Hopefully, we're going to find out.
01:03:02And everyone knows about this Sunday night and one-night stand.
01:03:04All hell is going to break loose.
01:03:06We got a sample of it Wednesday night with WWE and ECW.
01:03:11Went head-to-head.
01:03:12Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the first-ever WWE vs. ECW Extravaganza.
01:03:21ECW's here, baby.
01:03:22Heads up.
01:03:24Kurt Angle, he's out for one thing only.
01:03:27He's out for himself.
01:03:29Tonight, you're all WWE.
01:03:33So let's go out there and show the world that ECW has no idea what it's going to get.
01:03:41This team concept 20-man battle royal over the top rope, and the list is dwindling.
01:03:48The WWE has won the battle royal with Orton and the Big Show left.
01:03:59What the hell is this?
01:04:01Oh, my God!
01:04:04The Big Show wins it for the ECW Colors!
01:04:07Oh, my God!
01:04:09I only got one thing to say.
01:04:11E-C-W!
01:04:19John Cena in a non-title matchup against ECW's suicidal, homicidal, genocidal Zabu!
01:04:27ECW Reels here, ladies and gentlemen.
01:04:29Anything goes!
01:04:32Zabu went to the air!
01:04:33She just won him!
01:04:34No!
01:04:35Zabu with the FU!
01:04:36Oh, Zabu!
01:04:41It's the Big Show!
01:04:42A newest member of ECW!
01:04:45WWE opened up the gates to their own hell when they relaunched ECW!
01:04:51We'll see, Sunday!
01:04:52We'll see!
01:04:53You will see!
01:04:53You will see!
01:04:53You will see!
01:04:59So, check this out.
01:05:01King Booker goes one-on-one next week with Bobby Lashley right here on SmackDown.
01:05:08That will be off the chain.
01:05:09Ladies and gentlemen, there is a report on WWE.com that Paul Heyman has made an offer to world champion Rey Mysterio to leave SmackDown and go to ECW.
01:05:21Now, before Rey has his match tonight, I'd like to find out what the world champion thinks about this offer made by Paul Heyman.
01:05:31Well, you know, you know, you know, hold up, actually, no, I called, I got something I want to add to this.
01:05:43Hold on a second.
01:05:43Hold on, I don't really know, just like you, I don't know if Rey Mysterio has made his decision or not yet in regards to staying here on SmackDown or going to ECW.
01:06:09But I know I've made my decision, but first, Jerry Lawler, I want to explain something to you.
01:06:21I am done telling you, this Sunday night at one-night stand, I am going to choke you out.
01:06:33Mark my words.
01:06:35Look into my eyes, Lola.
01:06:39I swear to you on my child, I'm choking you out.
01:06:44As far as right now, Taz is going where Taz belongs.
01:07:00Taz is going home.
01:07:03Taz is going back to ECW.
01:07:14For good.
01:07:16I had a great time here on SmackDown.
01:07:19I'm done.
01:07:20I'm going home.
01:07:22Goodbye.
01:07:22I'm going home.
01:07:52Thank you very much.
01:08:21I can take it from here.
01:08:22You've done a wonderful job.
01:08:24You're a wonderful play-by-play guy.
01:08:26I already have one, but thank you very much anyway.
01:08:28Indulge me for a moment because I understand the fact that both superstars from Raw and SmackDown
01:08:41are taking me up on the offer to jump to ECW may not make me the most popular person here
01:08:48on SmackDown right now.
01:08:50It does make me a hero to the ECW crowd, though.
01:09:01And as you can see, people are taking me up on the offer.
01:09:05I mean, coming home to ECW, Rob Van Dam.
01:09:12Carving out a new image for ECW in his name, the Olympic hero, Kurt Angle.
01:09:23The best commentator in the history of the sport, Taz, coming home to ECW.
01:09:32And just so that we're all on the same page, the rumors are true.
01:09:40I have extended a personal invitation for the world champion, Rey Mysterio, to come back to ECW.
01:09:53You see, ladies and gentlemen, in two nights, Rey Mysterio has to defend the world title
01:09:58against the suicidal, homicidal, genocidal sabu at ECW one-night stand.
01:10:07But, Rey, you know this doesn't have to be a one-night stand.
01:10:13You know that ECW would welcome you back with open arms.
01:10:19ECW would love Rey Mysterio.
01:10:21What do you want to do when we come for you?
01:10:23What do you want to do when we come for you?
01:10:28Well, this could be a potentially destructive evening for SmackDown.
01:10:42God, I shudder to think, what the hell's going to happen if the world champion Rey Mysterio
01:10:48leaves us here tonight and joins Paul Heyman in the new ECW.
01:10:53I mean, already Taz has walked out.
01:10:58Big Show defected from WWE to ECW Wednesday at the head-to-head special.
01:11:04It's Kurt Angle and Rob Van Dam.
01:11:08But Rey Mysterio, this man is, he's the heart and soul of Friday Night SmackDown.
01:11:14He started his WWE career here on this show at SummerSlam four years ago.
01:11:23And that was his most significant match since he started WWE was at SummerSlam.
01:11:28And he was part of SmackDown at the time.
01:11:30He won the World Championship here.
01:11:32He's done battles with the late great Eddie Guerrero on this show.
01:11:36And the fact of the matter is, this could be the final time that we see Rey Mysterio in a SmackDown ring.
01:11:45And that would be a damn shame.
01:11:47I mean, reports have been circulating all week that Paul Heyman had made this offer, but
01:11:57I can't believe that the moment's here.
01:12:01I hope it's good news.
01:12:03I hope it's good news.
01:12:04I've got to admit, Paul, I owe, I owe a lot to you.
01:12:20ECW, that was the first place in the U.S. that gave me my break.
01:12:27You know that.
01:12:28Yes, I do.
01:12:29You earned it too.
01:12:34But ever, ever since I came to WWE four years ago, there's been one home for Rey Mysterio.
01:12:46SmackDown.
01:12:47In this ring, in this very ring, is where I won the world title.
01:13:11This is my home.
01:13:13These are my people.
01:13:15And this is where I'll stay.
01:13:25All right.
01:13:27Thank goodness.
01:13:32I thank you for considering the offer.
01:13:35I respect you as a champion.
01:13:37I admire you as a man.
01:13:39Best of luck this Sunday against Sabu at One Night Stand.
01:13:45And best of luck tonight, too, because I think you're going to need it.
01:13:49My name is Finley, and I love to fight.
01:13:54And Mysterio will need it against this man, the tough Irishman.
01:13:59But thank goodness, Rey Mysterio is here on SmackDown.
01:14:04And he's not going anywhere.
01:14:06The world champion is staying home.
01:14:08Wait a minute.
01:14:09What are you doing here?
01:14:09Hey, how are you?
01:14:12What are you doing here?
01:14:13I'm here to do color commentary.
01:14:14You need a color commentator.
01:14:16You lost your last guy.
01:14:17It's not hogging up all the mic time.
01:14:19Mysterio Finley next.
01:14:21We are back on Friday night.
01:14:25SmackDown, Rey Mysterio versus Finley in this non-title matchup.
01:14:29But I am joined by ECW representative Paul Heyman here at ringside.
01:14:33Two developing stories here tonight.
01:14:35Number one, the reason you're here, because Taz says he's going home.
01:14:39He's going to ECW.
01:14:40And that's a damn shame.
01:14:42We've been through a lot out here together.
01:14:43It's a damn shame that he's leaving us.
01:14:45Like I said last week, and like I said the week before,
01:14:48SmackDown's loss is ECW's game.
01:14:51Hey, but you're only batting .500.
01:14:52Rey Mysterio, the world champion, is turning down your offer.
01:14:56He is staying where he belongs here on SmackDown.
01:14:59Well, you don't know what I'm really batting,
01:15:00because Rey Mysterio is the only person that is public knowledge that I've courted.
01:15:04I've courted other superstars from SmackDown,
01:15:07and you don't know yet who has said yes and who has said no to ECW.
01:15:11Rey Mysterio and Finley.
01:15:13There's Finley, the top Irishman, going behind, taking down the world champion.
01:15:17Paul, this has been a hell week for Rey Mysterio.
01:15:19Last Friday here on SmackDown, the farewell match against Kurt Angle.
01:15:23This past Wednesday night, the matchup against Rob Van Dam.
01:15:27Tonight it's Finley, Sunday at One Night Stand, it's against Sabu.
01:15:30Well, that's when hell really begins for Rey Mysterio.
01:15:33And everything that Finley does to Mysterio right now,
01:15:37works in Sabu's favor this Sunday at One Night Stand.
01:15:41Finley just slapping around the world champion Rey Mysterio.
01:15:46Tells Rey that earlier tonight that you will be in the fight of your life.
01:15:52Then the off-the-offer cut follows it up with a clothesline.
01:15:54And this is a big matchup for a man like Finley.
01:15:56A victory over Mysterio here.
01:15:58We're putting him right in the title hunt.
01:16:00Mysterio!
01:16:01I really like this Finley.
01:16:03Maybe I may be offered to the wrong competitor you're talking about.
01:16:06Look at Finley.
01:16:07Just look at the way the man dissects his opponent.
01:16:10Look at how Finley keeps Rey Mysterio grounded.
01:16:12How Finley does not let Mysterio take to the air.
01:16:15Mysterio with the knees to the skull of Finley.
01:16:17The world champion battling out.
01:16:19Have you made enough offers to enough people around here?
01:16:21No, not in the least.
01:16:23ECW is going to have the greatest superstars,
01:16:25the most hard-hitting action.
01:16:27And Finley seems to fit the bill.
01:16:29Mysterio with the ropes, ducks underneath Finley.
01:16:32Here's Rey Mysterio.
01:16:33One high on orthodox style.
01:16:35The high-flying style of the champion.
01:16:37And we're going to see a lot of that Sunday against Sabu.
01:16:40And you're going to see a lot of it coming from Sabu.
01:16:42Sabu is suicidal.
01:16:44He's homicidal.
01:16:45He's genocidal.
01:16:46And most of all, he's death-defying.
01:16:48Here's Mysterio through the legs of Finley.
01:16:50Kicked to the midsection by the tough Irishman.
01:16:52And I've got to ask you, Paul, and look at this.
01:16:54Finley's in trouble.
01:16:55Caught on second rope.
01:16:56Here comes Mysterio.
01:16:58And Finley, going to hightail it.
01:17:01A little breather.
01:17:03And there's the unorthodox style of Finley.
01:17:05But he gets a boot to the face by Mysterio.
01:17:09And the world champion driving Finley back to the announce table
01:17:11right here in front of us.
01:17:14Wait a minute, what the hell?
01:17:15Hey!
01:17:17Somebody was just talking.
01:17:18What the hell was that?
01:17:19What are you asking me for?
01:17:21I don't know.
01:17:21The little green glow under the ring is...
01:17:23Is that that little guy that's been floating around with Finley
01:17:25last couple of weeks?
01:17:26Oh, stop.
01:17:27What do you mean, oh, stop?
01:17:28Stop.
01:17:29And where'd the Mysterio go?
01:17:30Get in the ring.
01:17:32Get in this ring.
01:17:33Get it off the floor.
01:17:34Get in the ring.
01:17:36It's a tug-of-war.
01:17:38That is him.
01:17:39That is him.
01:17:39That's the little guy.
01:17:40That's the little guy.
01:17:41That's the little...
01:17:42What?
01:17:43That's Finley's little...
01:17:44Get in the ring.
01:17:45Go!
01:17:46He grabbed Mysterio and yanked him under the ring.
01:17:48What did you call him?
01:17:53You heard what I called him.
01:17:55You can only wonder what he did to the champion Mysterio under the ring.
01:17:59Yeah, but you don't have to wonder what Finley's doing to the champion.
01:18:01Look at how Finley just takes Mysterio apart piece by piece.
01:18:06Wrestles at his own pace.
01:18:08Dictates the pace of the match.
01:18:09And you've got to love this, Paul, because if Finley wears Mysterio down, it makes it easier for Shabu with one night stand.
01:18:15I told you before, either Shabu is going to bring me the world championship, and we will...
01:18:20Oh, there's the cover to you to the face of Mysterio today.
01:18:23Let the LA champs begin.
01:18:25Fully stacked out, fans, trying to roll Ray on.
01:18:27Hey, and let's be honest now.
01:18:31Eddie Guerrero, where did Eddie Guerrero get his start?
01:18:34ECW, where did Rey Mysterio get his start?
01:18:37ECW, where did Tags get his start?
01:18:39ECW, you cannot blame these people for wanting to come home, Michael.
01:18:43Well, not all of them came home.
01:18:45Rey Mysterio stays where he belongs here on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:18:48But that doesn't mean the world title stays on SmackDown, because this Sunday, if Sabu defeats Rey Mysterio for the world championship,
01:18:56we are going to rechristen the world title to ECW world title.
01:19:00And if Rob Van Dam defeats John Cena for the WWE title, that's yet another opportunity to rechristen that championship, the ECW world title.
01:19:09That would just cap off your week.
01:19:10It's been a hell of a week for you guys so far at ECW.
01:19:13They'll have to cap things off, wouldn't it?
01:19:14History in the making Sunday.
01:19:16Ask me Sunday night.
01:19:17I'll tell you what would really make my night is if Fit Finley, if I could five minutes with Fit Finley.
01:19:22As the world champion Rey Mysterio tries to get back in the ballgame.
01:19:27And that's what ECW fans want.
01:19:29They want their action back.
01:19:30They want their stars back.
01:19:31They want the original stars, and they want all new stars.
01:19:34And that's what we're going to give them.
01:19:36Yeah, but you don't...
01:19:37Oh, and there's the knee right to the spine.
01:19:39You don't have to rate us of our stars.
01:19:41Kurt Angle wasn't an original ECW star.
01:19:43I'm not rating anybody.
01:19:45It's an open invitation.
01:19:46What am I, stealing people?
01:19:47I'm offering them money and cash?
01:19:49It's an open invitation, and it was made by your chairman of the board.
01:19:53ECW is going to be a new breed unleashed.
01:19:57And I suggest to you that Fit Finley's style fits right in with ECW.
01:20:01And we know how well you are, how well-versed you are in persuading people as the champion.
01:20:06Delivers a kick to the midsection.
01:20:08Rey Mysterio suffering a clubbing blow at the hands of Finley.
01:20:12And it was a legal blow.
01:20:13It was not a clenched fist.
01:20:14It was a forearm blow by Finley.
01:20:18The champion's trouble.
01:20:20Finley wanted to drive him off the steel post.
01:20:22Mysterio with the right hand.
01:20:23Rey Mysterio going up to the top rope.
01:20:25And this is what Sabu is going to learn about Rey Mysterio on Sunday, Paul.
01:20:35The resilience of Mysterio.
01:20:37The heart of Mysterio.
01:20:38The high-flying tactic.
01:20:40That's funny.
01:20:40That was a cover kick out of two.
01:20:43Hey, Rey Mysterio's the world champion for a reason, and Sabu will learn that this Sunday.
01:20:48I'm not just saying Sabu's going to walk in and make minceme out of Mysterio.
01:20:51Rey Mysterio kicked it up back of the head.
01:20:53Here's the cover by Mysterio.
01:20:56Hook to the leg.
01:20:57Kick at it, too.
01:20:59I mean, Sabu versus Rey Mysterio is a dream match.
01:21:02It's the battle of the two greatest high-fliers in the sport.
01:21:05Mysterio's high-flying brought him to the world championship.
01:21:08Sabu's high-flying has made him a legendary hardcore athlete.
01:21:11Look at Rey Mysterio beating up the 6-1-9 chance, but again, a clubbing blow to the back of the neck.
01:21:18Mysterio lands on his feet.
01:21:19The champion, Finley, in trouble.
01:21:22Rey doesn't know where he's at.
01:21:28Rey Mysterio perhaps...
01:21:29Wait a minute.
01:21:30Oh!
01:21:32That's that's Sabu!
01:21:33What the hell is he doing here?
01:21:35What do you know about this, Henry?
01:21:37I know nothing about it.
01:21:38What do you need you to know about it?
01:21:39Sabu acts at the shillelagh.
01:21:41The referee never saw it.
01:21:43The referee never saw the shillelagh.
01:21:46Finley, how?
01:21:47Mysterio in trouble.
01:21:48The cut to cross.
01:21:49Here's the cover.
01:21:51Finley has picked the champion.
01:21:54Thanks to Sabu!
01:21:56Here's your winner, Finley!
01:22:00Hey, Sabu has a mind of his own.
01:22:02I don't have to approve of everything Sabu does.
01:22:05But I can't tell you, I'm upset.
01:22:08Now Sabu is taking the fight to the world champion, Mysterio.
01:22:11Yeah, just like he did to the WWE champion Cena on Monday night.
01:22:15And now Sabu out here tonight on SmackDown.
01:22:18This is getting ridiculous.
01:22:19Do you think Sabu is not going to cement his reputation?
01:22:22Do you think going into One Night Stand,
01:22:24Sabu is not going to let every single person know who he is and what he's about?
01:22:30Finley has picked the champion.
01:22:32What a huge win for Finley.
01:22:33It is a huge win indeed, but thanks to the help of Sabu from ECW.
01:22:39The man Mysterio faces in two nights at One Night Stand,
01:22:42and I believe that Sabu isn't through yet.
01:22:46Somebody has got to get this man out of the ring.
01:22:49He's crazy!
01:22:50He just threw that steel cap on Mysterio's skull!
01:22:52Oh, he's not as crazy as you'd think he is.
01:22:55Sabu is actually very calculated.
01:22:57He knows what he's doing.
01:22:58Oh, come on now!
01:22:59Sabu is trying to drag the table out, but he ain't back under the ring!
01:23:04What the hell was that?
01:23:06And Sabu continuing the assault on Mysterio.
01:23:10And come on, somebody's got to stop this man!
01:23:13He's the champion!
01:23:14Make a move!
01:23:15Be a SmackDown hero!
01:23:16Save your world, Matthew!
01:23:18Sabu has placed Mysterio on the table!
01:23:21Oh, I've seen this before!
01:23:23Ladies and gentlemen, it's the suicidal!
01:23:25Homicidal!
01:23:26Genocidal!
01:23:27Death-defying!
01:23:29Shabbat!
01:23:30Oh!
01:23:33And you're laughing about it!
01:23:36Sabu just took out the world champion!
01:23:39What does this mean for Rey Mysterio?
01:23:42This Sunday night at One Night Stand,
01:23:44I think you're looking at the man that walks away
01:23:47with the world championship
01:23:49and rechristens it the ECW world title, Sabu!
01:23:54The man just flew through the air
01:23:56to his body, played onto Rey Mysterio,
01:23:59sacrificing his own body to take out our champion!
01:24:01Two nights away, Michael!
01:24:03Two nights away!
01:24:04Until Sabu and Rey Mysterio
01:24:07go head-to-head
01:24:08at One Night Stand!
01:24:09And there's the distraction by Sabu!
01:24:12And there's the distraction by Sabu!
01:24:12And there's the distraction by Sabu!
01:24:13The shi-la-li to the guff referee never saw it!
01:24:16Finley picks up the victory!
01:24:18But the damage was done after the hatch-up!
01:24:22After Finley pinned the champion,
01:24:23Sabu threw it, toss it into the wind!
01:24:26Take it out of the champion!
01:24:27Have you ever seen anybody
01:24:28just throw fucks into the wind like that?
01:24:30Have you ever seen anybody attack
01:24:31with such reckless abandon?
01:24:33I give you Sabu!
01:24:35Will Sabu take the world title Sunday
01:24:38from Mysterio at One Night Stand?
01:24:41He'll do anything for it!
01:24:42We both have a great treat!
