00:30The following contest is scheduled for one fall approaching the ranking accompanied by Luther Rays from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 237 pounds, Kurt Angle.
00:47You may not agree with the way Kurt Angle does things, but it wouldn't be the WWE's version of the Summer Games without the former Olympic gold medalist.
00:57Yes, winning a gold medal at the Summer Kings and Olympic gold medal, I should say.
01:02And Kurt Angle, I'll tell you what, looks to be in great condition.
01:06We saw him wrestle a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown against Charlie Haas.
01:09And Kurt, look at you on top.
01:11And from El Paso, Texas, weighing in at 228 pounds, Eddie Guerrero.
01:29Latino hate riding in style.
01:30I mean, where does Guerrero find a low rider in Toronto, Canada?
01:35Why can't they have low riders in Canada?
01:36I don't know, it's not really like the whole, I don't think.
01:40I'm surprised to find low riders.
01:41They usually drive like big, like horses with the big feet.
01:44Hey!
01:45You know, with the feet and snow sleighs and all that stuff.
01:48You know, the Klontax, Kurt Angle's ready, man.
01:50He's got those eyes gazed on Eddie Guerrero, man.
01:53A lot of hatred between these two athletes, big time.
01:58Kurt Angle claiming that he doesn't hide from anyone or anything, and that is true.
02:02Kurt Angle has never let go of the fact that five months ago at WrestleMania,
02:06Eddie Guerrero cheated his way to a victory.
02:09Eddie Guerrero, on the other hand, has never hid behind the facts.
02:12He said, you're right, I did cheat my way to victory.
02:15But I'll do whatever it takes to win.
02:17Well, that's one of Eddie Guerrero's MOs.
02:20I mean, he doesn't shy away from it.
02:22And as you see Eddie Guerrero pointing to Luther Ray and saying, don't move, big boy.
02:25Don't give up.
02:26Eddie Guerrero lies, teaches, feels in the family tradition.
02:29If you don't believe me, it's in the song.
02:32So we're set for action.
02:33The renewal of a tremendous rivalry, Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero.
02:37And we had a shot there, perhaps, of who may be the wild card or
02:42the ace up Kurt Angle's proverbial sleeve in this matchup.
02:45The assistant, the rough and tough, Luther Reigns.
02:48And here's the Eddie Chats throughout the Air Canada Center here in Toronto.
02:54Kurt Angle is- This is gonna be some match, Colman.
02:57I'm fired up for this.
02:58Won pretty much every title in the WWE, a former Grand Slam winner,
03:02a multiple time WWE Champion.
03:04Nice, double it, double it.
03:05And look at that, Kurt Angle.
03:06And for Eddie Guerrero, it's gonna be tough to mat-based wrestle against Kurt Angle.
03:09He's gotta be a high flyer in this matchup.
03:11Yeah, you don't want to wrestle Angle, I'm telling you, you gotta be careful.
03:13Dude, any kind of, you see the great grip of Kurt Angle.
03:16Eddie Guerrero just struggling to break that grip.
03:18Nice quick fireman.
03:18Great take down by Eddie.
03:19This is a low fireman's carry by Eddie Guerrero.
03:21Eddie Guerrero's most strange in that map, but, come on, let's face it now.
03:24Eddie Guerrero's not an Olympic gold medalist here.
03:26Gonna stand off in the early going of this matchup between Kurt Angle and Latino Heat,
03:30Eddie Guerrero.
03:30You gotta watch, this is not what you wanna do, Eddie, I'm telling you.
03:33He's so quick, and he's so quick with his hands and his feet and his instincts.
03:41Let's go Angle.
03:43I think the king is right, this is Bizarro World.
03:45Yeah, it's Bizarro World here is this crowd behind Kurt Angle in this matchup
03:49between Kurt and Eddie Guerrero.
03:51And Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero lock up center of the ring.
03:53Well, that's a WWE, people and the fans.
03:56Nice, look at that.
03:56Eddie Guerrero going right for the ankle, and it go behind by Kurt Angle.
04:00Remember, that ankle lock is Kurt Angle's move there.
04:03Well, yeah, but you see right there, trying to switch it, was Eddie Guerrero, but
04:07Kurt, look at that, quick double leg.
04:08Double leg take down and a kick out by Eddie Guerrero.
04:11And look at this, the quickness of Latino Heat, Eddie Guerrero working on Angle.
04:14That headlock take down with authority by Eddie Guerrero.
04:17And now, Eddie Guerrero has Kurt Angle pulling on the mat, which is rare.
04:21You don't see that much.
04:23Kurt Angle trying to make it back to his feet, get back to a vertical base.
04:26Back to one knee as Kurt Angle's Eddie continues the pressure.
04:29Didn't expect Eddie Guerrero to come out here and wrestle with Angle.
04:32But I'll tell you, unexpected, nice arm drag there by Kurt Angle.
04:35And continues the pressure on that arm and wrist.
04:37He's got that key lock, something like a top wrist lock, but it's a key lock on the mat.
04:41Kurt keeping the far leg away, so Guerrero can't pick that ankle.
04:45Very smart by Kurt Angle.
04:46And you did mention that Eddie Guerrero, you didn't expect him to come out here and
04:49wrestle with Kurt Angle, but that's Eddie's MO.
04:51When you least expect it, Eddie pulls another one out of his hat.
04:54Yeah, yup, and now Kurt Angle still has this arm bar on here, dangerous hold.
04:58And right spot by Eddie Guerrero, the back drop out of it into a nice deep arm drag.
05:03And then again into that arm bar on Kurt Angle.
05:06Eddie Guerrero, very, very, very good wrestling instincts here to hold his own.
05:11I'm very impressed that Eddie Guerrero's holding his own with Kurt Angle.
05:15Remember, not long removed from being WWE Champion.
05:19That's a hammer lock right now by Eddie Guerrero.
05:22I mean, I'm not knocking Eddie, I'm not saying he can't stick with what Kurt, but wow.
05:25German suplex by Kurt Angle continues to have those hands,
05:27those wrists locked around the waist.
05:29Well, once Kurt pops those hips, lowers his level, bridges back, here's another one.
05:33Eddie Guerrero countered, and again went to the ankle.
05:36Again going to the ankle lock on Kurt Angle, and he may have it here.
05:39Look at this.
05:40He's got Kurt Angle prone fitter of the ring.
05:42Eddie Guerrero continuing the pressure of Paige out of Angle's playbook.
05:45I don't believe this.
05:47Kurt Angle struggling to make it to the bottom rope.
05:49And look at the agony in the face of Kurt Angle.
05:52Angle never expected us to pain.
05:54And Kurt screaming trying to get to those ropes.
05:57Eddie Guerrero had Angle probably scouted.
05:59Whoa.
05:59Kurt Angle is still a hand flicked away from the bottom rope.
06:02Kurt Angle countered, and look at Kurt Angle,
06:04had to put a thumb in the eye, and Eddie Guerrero has finally had to release that ankle lock.
06:09By hook or crook, Angle's gonna, it just has a thumb in the eye of the nose.
06:13I couldn't tell what he's doing.
06:13It was the thumb to the eye.
06:14Angle slammed.
06:15And there's an angle slam to Eddie Guerrero.
06:17Kurt Angle, and he's still suffering the effects of that ankle lock.
06:21And there go the straps, and Kurt Angle is in his own.
06:24Look at this.
06:27Going to the ankle lock again.
06:28Eddie Guerrero realizing he's in trouble.
06:30Scrambling trying to get out of this thing here.
06:32And Kurt Angle's got it in.
06:33Kurt Angle's got the ankle lock in.
06:34And now it's Eddie's turn to feel the pain of the ankle lock.
06:38And that's the master of the ankle lock, Kurt Angle.
06:40Eddie Guerrero might open up, look at this, he's trying to roll through what he is.
06:43And remember, Kurt Angle threw up his thumb into the eyes of Eddie Guerrero.
06:46As Eddie tried to put an ankle lock on as well, and look at this.
06:49And now Eddie Guerrero's got an ankle lock on, perhaps.
06:53Stereo ankle locks.
06:54Yeah, that's what it looks like.
06:55But Eddie, in too much pain, as Kurt Angle continues to torque that ankle.
06:58Nope, we saw what Kurt Angle did to get out of that.
07:01I think, I don't know, I think the foot went in the cross to Eddie Guerrero.
07:04Kurt Angle's foot well placed in the midsection of the extremities.
07:08To get out of the ankle box.
07:09And you can hear Eddie Guerrero writhing in pain,
07:11trying to make it to the bottom rope, perhaps just a hand place away.
07:14Eddie, Eddie Guerrero is close, as Kurt Angle continues the pressure.
07:18And he's gotta reach, gotta reach.
07:19And Eddie Guerrero just made the bottom rope, it looked like perhaps he was gonna tap there.
07:23Angle's not letting go, like it or not, smart by Kurt Angle.
07:27Look at Luka Rage with a cheap shot.
07:29Right in the back of the head with Luka Rage with that boot.
07:32A cheap shot behind the referee's back by Angle's assistant.
07:36Hey, like it or not, it works, man.
07:37And then ankle lock again, look at this.
07:39The ankle lock is locked in.
07:41It's over, Cole.
07:42It's over.
07:43Kurt Angle has singled out that ankle and is keeping that ankle lock on there.
07:47Here's the cheap shot as the referee's back is turned by Luka Rage.
07:50But the story here is the effect that Kurt Angle's ankle lock is having on the ankle of Eddie Guerrero.
07:56Eddie Guerrero's in trouble there, and Eddie's trying to do what Kurt Angle can get to kick
07:59some of that eyeball and rake it.
08:01But I'll tell you, no signs of Angle letting go with that grip on that ankle lock.
08:05But look at- Eddie trying to grab the ankle of Kurt Angle as well.
08:08But Eddie Guerrero makes it to the bottom rope.
08:11And Kurt Angle has a five count to release here, and Angle does with the help of the referee.
08:16But now you gotta question how much damage has been done to that ankle of Eddie.
08:19That's a good question, Cole, don't quite know.
08:21All I know is we're witnessing two world-class international superstars go out there
08:26wrestling hold for hold, and I dig it, man, I dig it.
08:28And now Kurt Angle working on that ankle, first drop in the elbow, and
08:31now it's giving the ankle into that steel post.
08:34Well, so much for playing nice, Kurt Angle doesn't play well with others.
08:38Kurt Angle looks to be in phenomenal shape, looks to have his head on straight.
08:42Look at Eddie Guerrero, up under the eyes, and he's on the-
08:45Here we go, Ryan, Ryan cheating and stealing, gotta watch Latino, look at that change-off.
08:50And Kurt Angle picked the ankle again, Angle picked the ankle one more time.
08:53How quick did Angle, Sucker and Eddie lower his level, picked that leg and that ankle.
08:58I can't quite tell what Kurt's doing, he's just got the knee bent back there.
09:02Well, it's not quite an ankle lock, but there's still pressure now on the ankle and the knee.
09:06That's the beginnings of it, and look at this hook in that head.
09:10He's got that knee and that ankle all torqued and twisted up of Eddie Guerrero.
09:14And Eddie Guerrero in a predicament, how the hell did he get out of this?
09:17Well, you gotta try and get to a rope, or thumb to the eye, if you're Angle.
09:22I mean, it looks like the eye of Eddie Guerrero, the nose is bleeding.
09:28I guess that's what Kurt thumped him.
09:29Yeah, thumped him a little bit earlier on.
09:30It's his eye.
09:31As Kurt continues the pressure.
09:32It's his eye, it's eyes, that's his eye bleeding.
09:34And Kurt Angle is really now, what is Kurt doing?
09:37It looks like Kurt is trying, well, it looks like Eddie now is just going into the face of Angle.
09:42Yeah, rake the eyes, perhaps, of Kurt Angle.
09:44That's what Eddie's doing.
09:45He's getting ugly, Cole, now.
09:46He's getting really ugly.
09:47We've got a short arm.
09:48Shoulders down.
09:49He had a cross arm breaker there, Eddie Guerrero.
09:51That was very quick of Eddie to get that arm bar in there.
09:54Was that?
09:55Well, Eddie's boot has been, was Kurt Angle unlacing the boot of Eddie there?
09:58I don't know.
09:59Maybe.
10:00I believe he was.
10:01And look at this.
10:02Kurt Angle dropped toehold, and again quickly back to work on that injured ankle of Eddie Guerrero.
10:07Now this, ladies and gentlemen, is vintage Kurt Angle.
10:10Look at the ankle of Eddie Guerrero, man.
10:12It's pinned back.
10:13Look at that.
10:14But why is Kurt Angle continuing to unlace the boot of Eddie Guerrero?
10:18I don't know, Cole.
10:19I have no idea, but I'll tell you what.
10:20Eddie Guerrero's in trouble.
10:22Bleeding from the eye.
10:23He's got his leg twisted up, and he's gotta get choked out in the process.
10:27He's choking out, Eddie.
10:28The ankle's in all kinds of trouble.
10:30Yeah, yeah.
10:31Eddie Guerrero trying desperately to make it to his feet.
10:33He's gotta try and regroup here, Cole.
10:35He's gotta regroup somehow.
10:36He's gotta pull one out of his playbook.
10:38Don't know how.
10:39I mean, maybe pop up a suplex, or get out of the ring, or get Angle out of the ring.
10:43It's hard to pop off a suplex when you're really working on one leg.
10:45I know, I know.
10:46And now it looks like Eddie, look at this, look at this, watch this.
10:48And there's a jawbreaker.
10:49That could be an opening at least for Eddie Guerrero to shake the cobwebs.
10:52Smart move, smart move by Eddie.
10:54Eddie Guerrero, look at this.
10:55Whoa, whoa, whoa, look at this.
10:56Well, there it is, an angle slam.
10:58Angle slam by Eddie Guerrero?
10:59Wow.
11:00What the hell?
11:01I never thought I'd see that at Eddie Guerrero.
11:03But Eddie is using all of Kurt's repertoire.
11:05Well, Eddie Guerrero buying himself some time right here.
11:08Luther Reigns looking on intently.
11:10Referee Brian Hebner up to three.
11:13One of these men gotta try and get to a vertical base here.
11:16Both men are down, and the first man to his feet could gain the momentum in this matchup.
11:21Well, who's gonna get to their feet first?
11:24And I gotta wonder the condition of Eddie's ankle.
11:27He's grabbing at the lower leg there.
11:28Eddie's ankle has been worked on all match long by Kurt Angle.
11:31Kurt Angle with the right hand.
11:33Beat Eddie to the punch.
11:34And another right hand by the Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle.
11:37Kurt Angle with the right as well.
11:39A lot of snapping those punches.
11:40Nice block by Eddie.
11:41One of his own.
11:42There's another right hand by Eddie Guerrero and a third.
11:45Eddie Guerrero with another right and now unloading on Kurt Angle.
11:48Latino Heath beginning to fire.
11:50But can it, Kurt Angle, I'm sorry, Eddie Guerrero can't finish.
11:54He's hurt, he's hurt.
11:55And look, he's feeling that ankle.
11:56That ankle is all messed up at the hands of Kurt Angle.
11:58Look at this, look at this.
11:59Look at this.
12:00There's a suplex.
12:01He might be going for those triple verticals, those three amigos.
12:04But can he pop three off here?
12:06Boom, he's got two.
12:07There's two on the injured ankle and all.
12:09Eddie Guerrero going for a third suplex.
12:11Spin those hips to get the man up and bam, he got the third, Eddie Guerrero did.
12:15But how much did it take out of Eddie?
12:17As Eddie makes it back to his feet, Latino Heath is really feeling it here.
12:22And the heart of Eddie Guerrero, unbelievable, and he's hurt.
12:25Eddie's hurt, that leg, that ankle, that calf, who knows?
12:28Eddie Guerrero doing whatever it takes to win, climbing to the second rope.
12:32Eddie Guerrero making it to the top rope.
12:34Eddie Guerrero gingerly there.
12:36Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
12:37Kurt Angle, the throw from the- Whoa.
12:39Man, man.
12:40Kurt Angle quickly.
12:41He's got it.
12:42Cover.
12:43One, two, three.
12:44Kicks the shoulder out, but you have to believe it took Eddie Guerrero too much time
12:49to make it to the top rope because of the injured ankle.
12:51Absolutely, Eddie Guerrero's usually scaling up there, but how smart of Angle,
12:55like the man or not, to pop off that throw off the top turnbuckle.
12:59Now what?
13:00Kurt Angle.
13:01Eddie Guerrero went for the Angle Slayer.
13:02Counter, counter, counter.
13:03Eddie Guerrero countered into the DDT, planting Angle.
13:05I think Angle was going for a second Angle Slayer, but very smart of Eddie Guerrero
13:10to nail that DDT out of nowhere.
13:12But what about the guts of Eddie Guerrero?
13:14Again out to the anchoring.
13:15Injured ankle and all.
13:16Eddie Guerrero's gonna scale to the second rope.
13:19Eddie to the top rope.
13:20Eddie.
13:21He's fired.
13:22There's nobody home as Angle rolled out of the way.
13:24Eddie Guerrero crashing and burning in a big way.
13:28What did that take out of Eddie Guerrero?
13:31Kurt Angle playing possum.
13:32Now Angle's up.
13:33Angle slam.
13:34No way.
13:35Angle slam connecting.
13:36This one is over.
13:37I think you're right.
13:38The cover.
13:39Hook of the leg.
13:40One, two.
13:41Eddie Guerrero just kicked out.
13:43I thought Angle had him.
13:45Kurt can't believe it, but Eddie Guerrero kicked out.
13:48Kurt Angle's frustrated, can't blame the man.
13:51Eddie Guerrero loaded with intestinal fortitude here.
13:55And now Eddie Guerrero, I'm sorry, Kurt Angle do what he want right now.
14:01Kurt Angle began to take over this matchup with a thumb to the eye of Eddie Guerrero,
14:05the illegal thumb.
14:06And now you see that grin on the face.
14:08Kurt Angle just took the boot of Eddie Guerrero off.
14:11That boot might have looked at protection and now.
14:13There's no protection now.
14:14No, no, look at this.
14:15The ankle's exposed.
14:16The ankle locked in.
14:17He's gonna snap it.
14:18The exposed ankle.
14:19Look at Eddie Guerrero, writhing in pain.
14:20And Eddie Guerrero pulling the referee into Kurt Angle and saving perhaps the matchup for himself.
14:26Saving his own ankle, Paul.
14:27Eddie Guerrero's ankle's gonna get snapped in half.
14:29The referee, Hebner, and Kurt Angle colliding there big time.
14:33And Eddie Guerrero with boot in hand now.
14:35Referee Brian Hebner is down.
14:37Eddie Guerrero on one leg and he's over.
14:40Move to the face of Kurt Angle.
14:42Lying.
14:43Eddie Guerrero.
14:45Eddie's gonna pull this off.
14:47And as usual, we've seen Eddie do this time and time again.
14:51Eddie is up now.
14:52Fainting his injury as the referee comes to.
14:55The boot is in the ring.
14:57The referee begins to count now.
14:59Kurt Angle may be out cold after being hit by that boot.
15:01And now Eddie Guerrero's up.
15:03I mean, Eddie's so smart.
15:05I think your man's wrestling.
15:06Now what?
15:07Eddie Guerrero is gonna do what he's gotta do to try and get this victory over Kurt Angle.
15:12Eddie Guerrero positioning Kurt Angle.
15:14Eddie Guerrero to the top rope.
15:15He's tried this before.
15:16Frog Splash.
15:17Eddie connects with the Frog Splash.
15:18And he's gonna do it.
15:19One, two, go.
15:20Kurt Angle kicked out.
15:21Jiminy Crickets, what a match.
15:25Kurt Angle kicked out of the Frog Splash.
15:28How the hell?
15:29Eddie's gonna pull his hair out of his own head.
15:32How did Kurt?
15:34Well, it's- The instincts of Angle had to be instinct he just kicked out.
15:40Wow.
15:41Eddie Guerrero back to his feet.
15:43Eddie Guerrero- Look at that.
15:44Watch the ankle.
15:45He's got it.
15:46He exposed ankle.
15:47The ankle is locked in.
15:49Eddie Guerrero trying to battle out of it.
15:50But Angle hangs out of the ankle.
15:52Kurt Angle relentlessly hanging on to that ankle.
15:55The tenacity of Angle.
15:56And now, turn that ankle lock.
15:58I thought you were gonna wrap those legs around it.
16:01And the ankle lock is cinched in.
16:02The ankle is exposed.
16:04Eddie trying to make it to the bottom rope.
16:06Kurt Angle has got the ankle lock dragging Eddie back to the center of the ring.
16:11He's got a great fine.
16:12That's it, Cole, I'm telling you.
16:13He's got that thing barred up.
16:15The leg bar and the ankle lock.
16:17It's over.
16:18Eddie Guerrero with no choice.
16:19No choice but to tap out.
16:21Wow.
16:22Here's your winner, Kurt Angle.
16:27What a match.
16:28What a victory for Angle.
16:30What an outing for Eddie Guerrero.
16:32Phenomenal contest.
16:33We asked the question, why Kurt Angle was unlacing the boot of Eddie Guerrero.
16:38I believe we got our answer.
16:39It exposed the ankle to make it more vulnerable to the ankle lock.
16:43What a match.
16:44What a match.
16:45What a match.
16:46What a match.
16:47What a match.
