00:00The following is an eight-man tag team
00:05for the World Tag Team Championship.
00:09Introducing the challengers first from Battle Creek,
00:13Michigan, weighing in at 235 pounds,
00:18Raw Fam Zay.
00:23Rob Van Dam will be teaming with Jeff Hardy,
00:35who's making his way here now.
00:37Introducing his tag team partner from Cameron,
00:40North Carolina, weighing in at 218 pounds,
00:44Jeff Hardy.
00:46Well, Jeff Hardy is certainly no stranger to tables,
00:49ladders, and chairs.
00:51As I said earlier, there's only been three TLC matches
00:54in WWE history.
00:56Tonight is the first tables, ladders, and chairs match
00:59in the history of Raw.
01:16Yeah, you're coming now.
01:18And making their way to the ring at a combined weight of 460 pounds,
01:28Spike and Bubba Ray Dudley.
01:31Bubba Dudley looks straight to TLC matches,
01:34but his little half-brother Spike will sing his first TLC action
01:38in the WWE.
01:40And that's the goal, to climb the ladder,
01:43take the tag team titles, and leave the WWE Tag Team Champions.
01:49But I promise you, folks, it will not be without a price.
01:53Christian!
01:54Christian!
01:55Christian!
01:56And last!
01:57Come on!
01:58Come on!
01:59Come on!
02:00Come on!
02:01Come on!
02:02Come on!
02:03And making his way to the ring,
02:08weigh in at 222 pounds,
02:10he's one of the members of the Americans,
02:12Christian!
02:13Christian!
02:14Christian has been on the winning end of two of the three TLC matches
02:18here in the WWE,
02:20at SummerSlam in 2000,
02:22and WrestleMania in 2001.
02:25Of course, then, he had his brother, Edge,
02:28as his tag team partner,
02:30but that's not the case tonight.
02:34Tag Team Gold awaits the winners here tonight.
02:37And here comes Christian's tag team partner.
02:58Introducing his tag team partner from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada,
03:02weighing in at 227 pounds,
03:04Chris Jericho!
03:06Boy, this guy is a great athlete,
03:07first undefeated champion,
03:08but what an egomaniac!
03:10Earlier tonight,
03:11Booker T defeated the Big Show
03:13in our first match!
03:14It was a steel cage match!
03:16And out of nowhere,
03:18after Booker T wins the match,
03:20about to deliver a spin,
03:21there you see Jericho attacking from behind!
03:24And Jericho,
03:26what a,
03:27what a pitiful,
03:28like, boom!
03:29Right there!
03:30The skull of Booker T
03:31cracked off that cane!
03:33The victory!
03:34The victory!
03:35The victory!
03:36The victory!
03:37The victory!
03:38The victory!
03:39The victory!
03:40In the 320's crown!
03:42He is the Intercontinental Champion!
03:43And one half of the world tag team champion,
03:46and one half of the World Tag Team Champion, T.
03:51Booker T's been taken to a medical facility.
03:54And I'll keep you updated if there's any more updates on Booker T.
03:57But I'm wondering, what's the update on Hurricane Hems?
04:01Is the Hurricane gonna be physically able to compete here in this tag team match?
04:07After being assaulted by Triple H and Ric Flair,
04:10I guess I just answered my own questions.
04:12And I guess the other question is where is the King?
04:15And the King is apparently left for the Godfather after winning that.
04:20It's legal to Las Vegas match earlier.
04:24Man, this is gonna be a Wild West show, let me tell you.
04:26There ain't no discount locations, no count outs, no pinfalls, no submission.
04:31Only one way to win this thing, and that is to survive, physically to survive.
04:36Being mentally tough enough to survive until you can climb the ladder and
04:40retrieve the tag team pile of belts, which are hanging high above the ring.
04:45There's no championship advantage, and certainly Kane had a disadvantage in as much
04:50as his tag team partner is out of commission apparently.
04:54And here we go, they're gonna tear up Coach Christian.
04:57They're coming in the back door here.
04:59But not for long, both Randy shut the back door right in their face.
05:04And it is a every man for himself environment here.
05:10Jericho has been in a TLC match.
05:14Matter of fact, he won one back in May of this year, my memory serves me correctly.
05:19And look at Kane, he's the Intercontinental Champion.
05:22He beat Jericho last week, he's a tag team champion, at least for now.
05:27Maybe not for much longer, and in 13 days, on pay per view, he's got a chance to make history
05:33by becoming the world's heavyweight champion, and holding all three titles a month.
05:38Look at RBD, and Jeff Hardy, they respect Kane, they're big fans' favorites.
05:42But it's a real man for himself, and what a double knockdown, by the Big Red Machine.
05:47My God, he is big, he is strong, and he just imposed his will on RBD and Jeff Hardy.
05:54Kane, two weeks in a row, has got him, Tom.
06:01He has stepped on the occasion last week for an awesome Intercontinental title match.
06:06Kane, kick us out, Kane!
06:08We had with Jericho last week.
06:12The week before that, he and the Hurricane beat the Un-American to a tag team title.
06:16He's been on a roll, and oh man.
06:19Jeff Hardy, walking the rail.
06:22Running for his life, coming to face a Kane, and now look at Bubba Dudley.
06:26Bubba Dudley got that ladder, and so Bubba!
06:30Locking down Jericho and Christian, look at this, looks like a revolving door.
06:35Bubba's a, he's a helicopter from Dudleyville, and I don't think they even got near it for him.
06:40The kick got back on the face.
06:42RBD, oh, it's a fabulous mark.
06:45Thunderous right hand by RBD, knocking down Kane.
06:48Still with no tag team partner.
06:50And I'm not sure we're gonna see Hurricane tonight.
06:52And look at this, three men.
06:54Their bodies over the top rope to the floor.
06:57That leaves an opening hook on the wall.
07:00In fact, they got clothes lined down by Jericho.
07:03And again, you gotta set the ladder up, climb it.
07:06The ladder can be used as a weapon.
07:08You can't be disqualified here.
07:10I'm sure our general manager loves this environment.
07:13He loves this brutality that he mentioned earlier.
07:18This brutality jackpot, if you will, here in Las Vegas.
07:23Ever since Fishoff got humiliated.
07:25Unforgiven, he has been on a rampage.
07:30Ever since the rosters, Rob SmackDown I'm referring to.
07:33The rosters were frozen.
07:35Nobody can leave now.
07:37Fishoff's tricking people like Dudley abuse.
07:39Look at this.
07:40Left part of your screen here.
07:42Look at this.
07:43Don't strike.
07:44His sternum, his chest.
07:46With a tough bone son of a gun.
07:48And not even he can withstand that.
07:50And now it's Puriko and Christian.
07:53Don't think he, boom, boom, boom.
07:55He probably had a different idea.
07:57The most honor tag team champion in the history of this company.
08:02With a little kick-pop and ply action.
08:05Chris Jericho, the egomaniac, the first ever undisputed champion.
08:10What's going here again tonight?
08:12In the form of the tag team pilot.
08:15Man, he's 6'10 and a half, 325.
08:20Flying off that top turnbuckle right in the face.
08:23Right in the face of the man.
08:26And now Bubba Dudley bringing that ladder in.
08:28You gotta have the ladder in place.
08:31Be able to retrieve those tag belts.
08:34And Bubba using that ladder on Kane.
08:37Every team for himself.
08:38If you call Kane a one-man team.
08:40And now, look at this.
08:45Bubba taking off that ladder.
08:48And Kane now will load up the 300-pounder with a choke slam.
08:52Kane is trying to survive.
08:56And look at the little spike.
08:58He's a game with a son of a gun.
09:01Back with his shirt tells the story of this little competitor in this company.
09:08What a power here.
09:13The strength.
09:14Kane has been flanked over the top.
09:17Right on the face of RBD.
09:20And now Jericho.
09:21Jericho has retrieved another ladder and just rammed it in the face of Kane.
09:27Kane.
09:28Kane may have taken down aggressively.
09:33I'm still wondering what the game meant.
09:36He said that Kane's life will never be the same after tonight.
09:40Maybe this is what the game, the world's temple is referring to.
09:46Again, tables, ladders, and chairs.
09:48They're all legal.
09:49There are no disqualifications.
09:51You do anything that you're man enough to do.
09:55That you're man enough to survive.
09:57That you're willing to put your body through in this match.
10:01Kane is just spreading on that table.
10:06What the hell, Alicia?
10:08A little Van Dam.
10:09Van Dam, as we have seen so many times, putting his body on the line.
10:16Shattered his own kidneys and lower back there.
10:19But he took Christian and Jericho out of the equation, at least for the moment.
10:25And now Jeff Hardy.
10:26That chair shot on Kane again.
10:29It's every man for himself.
10:31And my God, the bodies.
10:33With pain that these men are putting their bodies.
10:38The hell, I'm miserable.
10:40Look at Jeff Hardy, those ladders.
10:42Kane is still getting beat down on that table.
10:44Jeff Hardy's coming to the top.
10:47My God.
10:48They're outside the ring.
10:49Jeff Hardy.
10:52Dropping Kane, driving through that table.
10:56Good God Almighty.
10:58How badly for these eight men want to be Tag Team Champions.
11:02I'm sure our general manager has gotta be loving this.
11:08These men literally beating the hell out of each other.
11:11There's carnage all over the ring.
11:13Jericho knocked down.
11:15Bubba looking for the title.
11:17We gotta take a break.
11:19They're telling me we got one more commercial break to take.
11:23But don't do it now.
11:24Please don't do it now, Bubba.
11:26Bubba may win the tag titles.
11:28He's climbing to the top.
11:30Well, Tag Team Gold almost within his reach.
11:34But there's Christian.
11:35And what a powerbomb.
11:37My God, it looks like a car wreck.
11:39There's bodies laying everywhere.
11:41Bodies everywhere.
11:42We'll be back.
11:43We are back live in Las Vegas, ladies and gentlemen.
11:48And this is the deadest physicality I think I've ever seen.
11:52The accident of commercial break was absolutely off the page.
11:56A 14 table slatters and chairs match.
11:59The first ever on Raw for the Tag Team title.
12:03Still no hurricane helms for Kane.
12:06Kane's partner taken out by Triple H and Ric Flair before this match started.
12:11And look at Van Damme.
12:12Van Damme and Bubba Dudley and Jericho.
12:18They're in a race to gain possession of the Tag Team titles.
12:23And that's what it takes to win this match.
12:25There's no pinfalls, no submissions, no disqualifications, anything done.
12:30My God, wow, Bulldog.
12:31Off the top of that ladder.
12:34Garoppolo drowning above his face and their neckbreaker.
12:38Van Damme with a neckbreaker off the ladder.
12:42Good God, the carnage.
12:44Linden County here is situating.
12:47These men putting their bodies through hell.
12:51Look at this.
12:52It was Christian for RBD.
12:55I had it wrong there.
12:57It was two bodies flying from the ladder, crashing to the canvas.
13:01And little Spike, little Spike may go to the back door here.
13:04Little Spike may have a chance to win it for the Dudleys.
13:07And Christian pulling Spike off that ladder.
13:11And Kane, he was decimated by that lead rock by Jeff Hardy that drove Kane to the table
13:17before he went to the commercial break.
13:19And Kane is still down from the outside of the ring.
13:22It is anybody's match for the Covenant Tag Team Championship.
13:27And I guarantee you, it is live.
13:29And when it's live, you know you're watching Raw on Monday night.
13:34There it is, the prize.
13:36That's what they're putting their bodies through absolute hell.
13:39It is wrestling purgatory for these four teams.
13:43Tables, ladders, and chairs.
13:45These fans, so many of them standing before we went to break.
13:50During the commercial break.
13:52I can only imagine, only imagine the pain that must be wracking the bodies of all seven of these men.
14:02And Van Damme, the laid back, an orthodox one.
14:07He ain't laid back right now.
14:09He's fighting for tag team titles.
14:11But so is Christian.
14:12Christian, as I said earlier, he and his brother Edge won two of the three TLC matches in this company's history.
14:19Jericho won the other.
14:21They've got a TLC All-Star team going here.
14:24Christian climbing up.
14:25And Kane is back.
14:26The big red machine is back in the ring.
14:28And my.
14:30Christian straining up top rope.
14:35And there's Jeff Hardy.
14:36And Jeff Hardy got muscled right back by Kane with a power slam.
14:42A power slam that you can hear at Caesar's Palace.
14:46And a heart on his whip.
14:48And Kane now almost beheading the courageous young Jeff Hardy from Hardy's body.
14:54Been treated like a rag dog.
14:58And now the big regular scene who has had a fight to survive in this match all by himself.
15:04Thanks to the gaming player, taking out Perrikan Helms.
15:09And the Intercontinental Champion and Tag Champion.
15:12And look at little Spike.
15:13How much does he wanna be the Tag Champion?
15:16He's a game little son of a gun.
15:18Good Lord.
15:21That was a man's skull.
15:23Ricocheting off a steel ladder.
15:26And guess who won?
15:28And go.
15:33And Kane, you talk about an aggressive son of a gun.
15:36It's in the chair.
15:38It is called tables, ladders and chairs for a damn good reason.
15:43And they're all legal.
15:44What a shot there.
15:47One, two, three.
15:48And Vintan, spinning heel kick, knocking down Jericho.
15:53Bubba Dudley still really with that chair shot.
15:56Back to the back of his head.
15:58Jeff Hardy, somehow, by God, is back in there.
16:01And Jeff Hardy.
16:02Unsuspecting teamwork from Bubba Dudley.
16:09A vintage Hardy tag team move.
16:11Remember, RDD and Jeff Hardy are tag team partners.
16:15My God, you gotta be kidding me.
16:17Van Damme, is he thinking about going coast to coast?
16:21Border to border here.
16:22Van Terminator.
16:25Kane ain't that steel chair.
16:28He ate the steel chair to Kane.
16:32And Van Damme punished himself.
16:34Take a look at this.
16:35Bam!
16:37Rock it right in my mouth.
16:39He ate every damn Van Damme tear.
16:41Border to border with Van Damme.
16:43And he hurt himself.
16:44My God, what a match.
16:48What a match.
16:49And we're seeing it live.
16:50Front face locked by Jericho trying to suplex Jeff Hardy.
16:56No doubt on that steel ladder.
16:58But Jeff Hardy turns it, reverses it, and look at Jericho.
17:01How do you land on that without ruining your lower back,
17:05without splattering your kidneys?
17:07Somebody tell me a hole.
17:08How do you do it?
17:09How in God's name are they?
17:12Look at this.
17:13Jericho's lower back right across that hole.
17:17Got a whole deep, whole ladder.
17:19The bodies, the carnage, the ladders, and chairs, the tables.
17:26And the tag titles are still hanging in the balance.
17:31And that's what these seven men are here for.
17:34I guarantee you, I don't know who's gonna win.
17:39But whoever does, damn sure deserves to be the tag team champion.
17:46And now it's Jeff Hardy.
17:48He and his brother Matt, five-time tag champion.
17:51But Jeff has never done it without his brother on the side.
17:54Will tonight be that night?
17:57Well, this is not Las Vegas, we'll never forget.
18:01And Bubba Dudley, the 300-pounder, back in the mix.
18:06But Jeff Hardy, his body, impressive, been punished.
18:14Having a hard time never getting up in the ladder.
18:16And Bubba not doing Jeff any favors.
18:19The football now, Jeff Hardy and Bubba Dudley, the Dudleys and the Hardys.
18:25My God, you gotta be kidding me.
18:27Somebody called EMTs.
18:31A superplex from the top of the ladder.
18:34A superplex from the top over to the canvas.
18:40Folks, look at this.
18:43Take a look at this, Hank.
18:44This is sick.
18:47This is sick.
18:49God, good God.
18:52It's hard to watch this.
18:54It's hard to witness this.
18:56What these seven raw superstars are putting themselves through for
19:01become a tag team champions.
19:03Or any titles.
19:06Including the world titles.
19:08What might you have in starting your career, your wrestling lifespan,
19:13to become a tag team champion.
19:15We've got Van Dam now.
19:17RBD, RBD can touch it.
19:21He can feel the goal.
19:23And Bubba Dudley with a rush of adrenaline.
19:28Trying to get right back in it.
19:30And Bubba with the right hands.
19:32But Bubba down in pain.
19:34Bubba down in absolute fatigue.
19:39And look at these human beings.
19:41Look at these men on this night and their careers.
19:46But they, or none of us, will ever forget.
19:49And by God, look like it's that equal menial.
19:52Chris Jericho, the self-professed team of the world.
19:56A rock star.
19:57To win this tag team title.
19:59But it looks like that's what he's gonna do.
20:01He just tells Spike now.
20:03There's nobody to strike Jericho.
20:06But little Spike is trying to, he's trying to get involved.
20:10My God.
20:12All the way.
20:13All the way Spike.
20:14To the ladder.
20:15My God.
20:16My God.
20:17My God.
20:18Jericho.
20:19Off the ladder.
20:20Over the top.
20:21All the way to the floor.
20:23That is the damnedest thing I've ever seen in TLC.
20:30Take another look Jericho.
20:33Touching the goal.
20:35Good God Almighty.
20:37For the love of anything that's seen.
20:44And now Spike.
20:47The smallest man in the match.
20:54But he may have the biggest heart and the most guts.
20:57It may be his night.
20:59This may be Spike Dudley's night.
21:01It's always been both and deep on.
21:04But now it may be Spike's night.
21:06And how could you, how could you not love that?
21:10The littlest dog in the fight.
21:13One more run little man.
21:15You've almost got it.
21:17There's a damn Christian.
21:19Jericho's back down.
21:21And Spike.
21:22Fight like he was 350 pounds.
21:24And put the Dudley Dog to take off the table.
21:28Then a table.
21:29The little guy was going to a table.
21:32Looking for the Dudley Dog.
21:35And the little fellow was so close.
21:37He was inches away from the Dudley's winning again.
21:41Look at this.
21:43This is sick.
21:45This is sick and perverse.
21:47But this is live raw.
21:50This is precise creation.
21:52This is our beloved General Manager's creation.
21:56This is unbelievable.
22:02Unbelievable.
22:03Unbelievable competition.
22:05The will to win.
22:07The will to compete before this audience.
22:11Before you at home.
22:12It's overwhelming.
22:14I challenge you to compare with anywhere,
22:17in any walk of life, what these men are doing here tonight.
22:21The Brutality Jackpot.
22:24We'll never forget that turn.
22:28In lost space.
22:31And now the rosters have been frozen.
22:34Nobody can leave.
22:35You put up with this, Josh.
22:37BS.
22:38Or you can go find something else to do for a living.
22:41This crowd has been on its feet for the last several minutes.
22:47And Christian now.
22:48Christian, he's touching on the bench.
22:51He's got one of the title books.
22:52And Bubba Dudley.
22:53Boy, Christian almost had it.
22:55And Bubba up there.
22:56The Bubba Bomb.
22:58The Bubba Bomb.
22:59The Bubba Bomb.
23:00The Bubba Bomb.
23:01The Bubba Bomb.
23:03The Bubba Dudley.
23:05Bubba and Christian are both hurt.
23:08And now Van Damme is out.
23:10Van Damme is out.
23:12What the hell is Van Damme gonna do now?
23:14It's The Firestar.
23:16Van Damme on The Firestar.
23:18Trying to take Christian completely out of the equation.
23:21It's Jim Hardy, The Daredevil.
23:24From Cameron, North Carolina.
23:26He wants it bad.
23:27It's a long time for nobody there.
23:31For the love of God.
23:36It's Jim Hardy.
23:37It's Jim Hardy.
23:38It's Jim Crow.
23:39Over top, through a table.
23:41The human anatomy is not built in this sort of punishment.
23:46This is cruel.
23:51Van Damme by RVD right in the face of Bubba Dudley.
23:55And now RVD's got the opportunity here.
23:58Jim Hardy, look at this.
23:59Listen.
24:00Got a human body.
24:02They put the table.
24:03Watch this.
24:04His lower back.
24:07The table exploded.
24:09And maybe so did.
24:11And maybe so did.
24:12And maybe so did.
24:13Jeff Hardy's body.
24:14Van Damme up.
24:15Van Damme's got it.
24:16And Van Damme touching the gold.
24:18With that steel chair.
24:19Doing more than touching Van Damme's back.
24:21Tables, ladders, and chairs.
24:24Las Vegas, Raw Roulette.
24:27Will you ever forget this night?
24:29Look at Jericho.
24:31We're gonna stay here as long as it takes to get a winner.
24:35My God, look at this.
24:37Van Damme getting stretched from the top of that ladder.
24:42Jericho trying to incapacitate Van Damme.
24:48And Van Damme, his head bounces off and running the ladder.
24:51And now it's Jericho.
24:52And now it's Jericho who has the shot to win this match for him and Christian.
24:57Will Jericho win it?
24:58Look, there's Kane.
24:59Kane is back.
25:00Kane is back up.
25:02He has literally risen from the dead.
25:06Jericho trying to retrieve the title belt.
25:10But Kane's got, Kane's got that big hand around the throat of Jericho.
25:15And Jericho gets him, Kane's head off the ladder.
25:18Kane is relentless.
25:19He is hell bent on retaining these tag titles.
25:23And a Tokeslam.
25:24A thunderous Tokeslam off that ladder.
25:29My God, will either man be able to get up?
25:34And Kane sets up.
25:36Kane sets up.
25:38Kane is showing absolutely no mercy here tonight on anyone that has crossed his path.
25:46And he's done it alone.
25:47Can he do it?
25:48Can he win it?
25:50Can Kane do it here?
25:51The Big Red Machine.
25:52He's almost there.
25:53Kane's got it.
25:54He's done it.
25:55My God, he's done it.
25:56Kane and his partner has retained the tag team titles.
26:00Here's your winner and still World Tag Team Champion, Kane.
26:05My hat is off to all said and then, but by God, none stood taller, none stood stronger,
26:16none stood more powerful and prouder than Kane.
