00:00:00Hey, yeah, what do you see?
00:00:15Something beautiful, something great
00:00:18Hey, yeah, what are you doing to kill me?
00:00:22You never think it's time to get me
00:00:30We are just 72 hours away!
00:00:42Three days from Backlash on pay-per-view!
00:00:46Welcome to SmackDown from the compact center in Houston!
00:00:49And tonight, Mr. McMahon is forcing the two men who battled for the undisputed title in Backlash to team up!
00:00:57That's right, Cole, tonight, Triple H and Hogan, can they work as a cohesive unit against Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho?
00:01:18And the tag team champions have a date at Backlash Sunday on pay-per-view as well!
00:01:25As we kick things off for the six-man tag match!
00:01:28The six-man tag team match scheduled for one fall, making their way to their ending accompanied by Rico!
00:01:34At a combined weight of 534 pounds, the tag team champions, Bill and Chuck!
00:01:41Sunday on pay-per-view from Kansas City at Backlash task!
00:01:44Billy and Chuck defend the tag team titles against the upstart team of Al Snow and Babins!
00:01:50Look at Rico, man! He's styled tonight!
00:01:54The stylist for the tag team champions!
00:01:57And their partner from Boston Mets, weighing at 350 pounds, Albert!
00:02:08What has gotten into this man?
00:02:10Two weeks ago, Albert turned on his partner and his friend, Scotty Tuhadi.
00:02:15Last week, he met Scotty in one-on-one competition and absolutely destroyed it!
00:02:20Oh, ain't no doubt about that!
00:02:22Albert making a statement with his former little buddy, Scotty!
00:02:25No one knows what's going for the massive head of Albert!
00:02:28I'm sure I don't know!
00:02:29I don't know who knows!
00:02:30Albert might not even know!
00:02:31I've lost a lot of respect for Albert!
00:02:33This attack taking place after the match-up!
00:02:35And it's Scotty's overrunning buddy!
00:02:37Rikishi coming down to even the odds and help Scotty out!
00:02:41Well, Rikishi should pick on somebody's own side!
00:02:43Well, he's going to in this match-up here tonight!
00:02:52Making his way to the right, weighing at all 350 pounds, Rikishi!
00:02:58This six-man tag team match-up starting off a huge night of action!
00:03:02Just three days until back last Sunday on Pay-Per-View!
00:03:05And tonight, Triple H and Hogan to be angled in Jericho here tonight!
00:03:11I can't wait to see that match-up tonight!
00:03:14What does everybody want?
00:03:19And another combined way of 452 pounds!
00:03:22What does everybody need?
00:03:24Al Snow and Maven!
00:03:27And what an opportunity comes Sunday at Backlast!
00:03:30Toughen-up trainer Al Snow, his protégé!
00:03:34Toughen-up one champion Maven!
00:03:36Will meet Billy and Chuck for the tag team titles!
00:03:39Well, Chuck and Billy are a great team!
00:03:42But, you know, I think Al Snow and Maven got a shot at Backlash!
00:03:45Al Snow's got a lot of experience!
00:03:47Maven, on the hand, is inexperienced!
00:03:49But a relaxing experience, Maven makes up with Hart!
00:03:53Well, there's no doubt come back last Sunday that Chuck and Billy, the more experienced team,
00:04:00and look at Albert and Rikishi staring holes through one another!
00:04:05What is it Rikishi's business, sticking up for Scotty too hot?
00:04:09Scotty's a big boy, he can take care of himself!
00:04:11I think it's the right thing to do!
00:04:13I think it's the right thing to do!
00:04:15Rikishi and Scotty used to be good friends!
00:04:18What are you? What are you? What are you?
00:04:19I think it's the right one of you!
00:04:20I think it's the right thing to do!
00:04:21It's the right thing to do!
00:04:22As Chuck starts things off against Al Snow with the big right hands in this six-man tag team matchup!
00:04:28These two will meet Sunday at Backlash!
00:04:30Al Snow and Maven against Chuck and Billy with the tag team titles on the line in Kansas City!
00:04:36And what a right hand by Al Snow!
00:04:38That should be one nice matchup!
00:04:40That might be a rocket-buster tag matchup, but I gotta go with the tag team champs on that one!
00:04:45I think that Chuck and Billy, in my opinion, is gonna take out Al Snow and Maven!
00:04:50That's just my opinion!
00:04:51And we're gonna drop followed up by a right hand by Al Snow!
00:04:54And what a night we have in store for you tonight, folks!
00:04:57And look at your appetite for Backlash come Sunday!
00:05:00In addition to Triple H and Hogan against Jericho and Kurt Angle!
00:05:04Hardcore Holly's gonna go one-on-one with Diamond Dallas Page!
00:05:07And we understand that Mark Henry has another feat of strength planned!
00:05:11As Al Snow has the tag of a rookie Maven!
00:05:14And what a year Maven's had since he's won Tough Enough!
00:05:17Oh, ain't no doubt!
00:05:18Maven has been given some opportunities and he's hit a home run on every chance!
00:05:22He's a three-time Hardcore Champion!
00:05:24Look at this!
00:05:25Look at this!
00:05:26Maven with a kick out by Chuck!
00:05:28The three-time Hardcore Champion Maven is back his first win in the World Wrestling Federation!
00:05:3310 against you!
00:05:35Who sent you?
00:05:36I don't remember that!
00:05:37No, no!
00:05:38I remember that yet!
00:05:39Well, I mean, every time we watch them while a kid gets lucky, you know what I'm saying?
00:05:42He's had a good streak of luck going!
00:05:44Will it continue Sunday Backlash?
00:05:46I'd like to point out, thank you for bringing that up!
00:05:48And a big arms rag!
00:05:49Takedown of the arm bar by Maven!
00:05:51The rookie of playing the pressure to Chuck one-half of the Tag Team Champions!
00:05:56Well, I taught Maven well!
00:05:58I was the real teacher, not Al Snow!
00:06:00Well, Al Snow up on the top rope, off the tag by Maven!
00:06:03And Maven and Al working well together as a team in a team-band matchup!
00:06:06You notice there a second though, even though Maven's a rookie and he's young and all that stuff,
00:06:10good great position there by bringing Chuck in the corner so Al Snow can get the double-X on him!
00:06:15And Albert in off the tag, and Albert hammering away now, this 350-pound monster taking it to Al Snow!
00:06:21The big heater known as Albert!
00:06:23Oh!
00:06:24What impact!
00:06:25And Al really needs to make a tag, and what happens if Rikishi gets in here?
00:06:29Oh, Powell, he might be going for a big Tiger Bomb here!
00:06:32Oh, look out, Al Snow!
00:06:33Oh, man!
00:06:34Look at the strength of this man!
00:06:35Oh!
00:06:36And here's the cover by Albert, and Al Snow somehow kicks out!
00:06:40Well, Al Snow's tough as hell, and you gotta be to take a move like that from a monster like Al Snow!
00:06:44And here comes the veteran of the tag team champions!
00:06:47This is Billy, multi-time tag team champion, and he's had many partners, Taz,
00:06:52but he said that his favorite, and perhaps his best, is indeed Chuck!
00:06:57Well, they wear the same color tights, and they got the same brown hair, so of course that's his favorite partner!
00:07:01They look like, kinda like each other, don't you think?
00:07:04Thanks to the stylist, Rika!
00:07:06I know, Rika's helped me out, having some new duds, he's gotta work on you, that's another story!
00:07:10And Al, surprising, Billy's shooting out of the corner after the baseball slide!
00:07:14And Al Snow to the corner, makes the tag to his partner, Rikishi!
00:07:18And here comes the 350 power!
00:07:20And the power of Rikishi knocking Billy down!
00:07:23Rikishi's tough as nails, man!
00:07:25Ooh, what a shot by Rikishi to Billy!
00:07:29Oh, look up over the top, Billy!
00:07:30Oh, no, he's gonna back it up!
00:07:31And Billy wisely steps out of the way!
00:07:34Here comes the Slam by Rikishi!
00:07:36And Rikishi is rolling!
00:07:38He is on fire, all fired up against the tag team champs!
00:07:41He's cooking!
00:07:42A man that size moving that fast?
00:07:44Unreal!
00:07:45He'll be spinning through the air off the clothesline!
00:07:48Now he takes a shot of his own off the apron!
00:07:51Oh, look at Rico!
00:07:53Oh, no!
00:07:54The style is brought into the ring in style by Rikishi!
00:07:58That's no way to trust him!
00:07:59Hey!
00:08:00No!
00:08:01The Hulk's gonna back that booyah thing up!
00:08:03Look at this!
00:08:04Rikishi!
00:08:05350 pounds!
00:08:06Rico's gonna get a facial pull!
00:08:08Imagine what this would do to Rico's world!
00:08:17Everything's bigger in Texas!
00:08:19And Chuck and Billy's, for that matter, on look out for behind it!
00:08:22With a bicycle kick to the chops of Rikishi!
00:08:25The difference maker known as Albert!
00:08:27And Chuck slides into the cover!
00:08:29He got it!
00:08:30Rikishi just got the shoulder up!
00:08:32I'll tell you, Albert saved Rico and Chuck from a, well, a stink face!
00:08:38And here comes Albert!
00:08:40And here we go, with two big men in the ring!
00:08:43Take a look at this kick again from Albert Tag!
00:08:45Watch this impact!
00:08:46Listen to this!
00:08:47Man!
00:08:48Late off the nose of Rikishi and Albert now in firm control of his six-man tag team matchup!
00:08:54Let's go!
00:08:55Well, Albert owes Rikishi a big competition!
00:08:57And I'll tell you what, Rikishi is hurting, and he's getting it!
00:09:00Rikishi stuck his nose in Albert's business, and that's what happened!
00:09:03And Cavs, you said it before, Rikishi is no small man, but look at how big Albert is!
00:09:07Look at this!
00:09:08Look at this!
00:09:09Look at this!
00:09:10The powerfulest guy he is!
00:09:12Awesome power from Albert!
00:09:14And now a cheap run from Maven and Al Snow as well!
00:09:18And Albert is beginning to dominate the matchup!
00:09:20Oh!
00:09:21Locked by Rikishi from out of nowhere!
00:09:23Surprising Albert!
00:09:24It took the air right out of Albert!
00:09:27And now Albert crawling into the corner!
00:09:30Makes a tag!
00:09:31Rikishi into the corner, Maven tags himself there!
00:09:34And Maven goes to work on Chuck!
00:09:36And the rookie takes over to the tag champ!
00:09:38Turn it up!
00:09:39Keep going!
00:09:40Cook it, baby!
00:09:41Yeah!
00:09:42What a drop kick!
00:09:43Knocked Chuck through the second rope!
00:09:44That was the same drop kick that eliminated The Undertaker from the Royal Rumble match!
00:09:48That's a Famouser!
00:09:50A Famouser by Billy to Maven!
00:09:52That was a shot!
00:09:57Wow!
00:09:58Talk about a shot!
00:09:59Talk about a match!
00:10:00This is phenomenal!
00:10:01Great way to kick off SmackDown with six-man tag team action!
00:10:06Chuck and Al in the ring!
00:10:08Here's the reversal!
00:10:10Who the hell is legal in that?
00:10:12If this is some high impact stuff, I'm digging it!
00:10:15Wait a minute!
00:10:16Whoa!
00:10:17With a heel kick to the face!
00:10:18Look at Maven to the top rope!
00:10:20Chuck struggling to speak!
00:10:22I think Maven is the legal man!
00:10:24Maven with a cross body!
00:10:25Into the line of the press!
00:10:26Hook to the line!
00:10:27He got him!
00:10:28Maven pin!
00:10:29What happened?
00:10:30The tag team champions!
00:10:39Last week and again this week, Alan Maven improving that they can defeat the tag team champions!
00:10:44Will that take place?
00:10:46Sunday at Backlash!
00:10:47Will Al Snow and Maven become the new tag team champions?
00:10:51Check out those legs!
00:10:53I think that can only mean one leg!
00:10:55That's it!
00:10:56It's Stacy!
00:10:57Mr. McMahon's personal assistant!
00:10:59She dropped something!
00:11:01Ouch!
00:11:03Mr. McMahon wants you in his office!
00:11:04Right now!
00:11:05Vince wants to see me in his office!
00:11:06Boy, this should be good!
00:11:07I'll follow you!
00:11:08Uh-oh!
00:11:09Do you think I'm a maniac?
00:11:10Do you think I've gone a little crazy-ack?
00:11:11You know, I didn't see my shrink last week!
00:11:12I think he's a quack!
00:11:13This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen!
00:11:15You worry, Coach!
00:11:16I do have a pilot!
00:11:17A pilot!
00:11:18A pilot!
00:11:19A pilot!
00:11:20A pilot!
00:11:21A pilot!
00:11:22A pilot!
00:11:23A pilot!
00:11:24A pilot!
00:11:25A pilot!
00:11:26A pilot!
00:11:27A pilot!
00:11:28A pilot!
00:11:29A pilot!
00:11:30A pilot!
00:11:31A pilot!
00:11:32A pilot!
00:11:33A pilot!
00:11:34A pilot!
00:11:35System 2 missing?
00:11:36へ!
00:11:37Citizen Kidman!
00:11:38It's about that time, that we-
00:11:40What in the hell is that fool doing?
00:11:43I have no idea!
00:11:44Asiak!
00:11:46I'm glad we're on SmackDown and not Raw!
00:11:49What's wrong Citizen Kidman?
00:11:51You okay?
00:11:52I dunno man, I just feel like somethings missing!
00:11:55Somethings missing?
00:11:57Holy bizarro world Kidman, you're the WWF cruiserweight champion, and the owner of one
00:12:03is in the world and something's missing? What's up with that? Well, nobody knows who I am.
00:12:09I mean, here I am, the WWF Cruiserweight Champion. I have this big match with Tajiri at Backlash
00:12:14and nobody even cares about it. I see.
00:12:21What, you think the people are going to respond just because I say how great it is to be here in Houston?
00:12:30Deep in the heart of this great state of Texas?
00:12:33With my tag team partner, the Hurricane?
00:12:42Look, man, I appreciate what you're trying to do and everything, but I have a feeling that when I'm all done with Tajiri,
00:12:48I'm going to give these people something to talk about.
00:12:51And I bet you will, Citizen Kidman, just as I'm sure that the Houston Astros will win the World Series.
00:12:57Yeah, this Sunday. Kansas City.
00:13:04I got to tell you, it's going to be an experience.
00:13:07Yeah, oh, oh, uh, I have, uh, some visitors. Call you back later.
00:13:12Well, well, well, well.
00:13:17Look at this.
00:13:19The Hulkster himself. I'll be damned.
00:13:23Look at you.
00:13:25Damn.
00:13:26You look good.
00:13:28He looks good, doesn't he, Stacy?
00:13:29Yeah, he looks fantastic. I, uh, I've never really been this, uh, close to him before.
00:13:37Man, look at the size of those arms.
00:13:43Stacy?
00:13:43Oh, well, your arms are almost as big as Mr. McMahon's arms.
00:13:49Peg, would you mind getting me a drink of water, please?
00:13:51Oh, sure.
00:13:54She's new.
00:13:56I can tell.
00:13:58You see, I've got a question for you.
00:14:02You believe in deja vu.
00:14:04You see, I have this perception that I've experienced all this before.
00:14:12I've experienced this, this groundswell of support from WWF fans for you.
00:14:19I've got this perception.
00:14:21I've experienced this unbelievable role that you're on.
00:14:26This, this tidal wave of, of admiration for you.
00:14:31And, uh, as I recall, as I recall, nothing could stop that kind of momentum.
00:14:41As I recall, nothing could stand in its way.
00:14:45And, you know, I remember when it was.
00:14:50It was just before the birth of Hulkamania.
00:14:55It was just before you became WWF champion for the first time.
00:15:04Now, I can't help but wonder.
00:15:08I can't help but wonder, is, is all of this happening all over again?
00:15:17Is it within the realm of possibility that this Sunday at Backlash,
00:15:23that the Hulkamaniacs can, can give you the inspiration to reach out for that brass ring in the sky,
00:15:31yank it from the clouds and once again become World Wrestling Federation champion?
00:15:42Is it possible that this Sunday at Backlash will be the rebirth of Hulkamani?
00:15:51Is it possible that you, Hulk Hogan, can do as you did once before,
00:15:58lead the World Wrestling Federation into a new era of popularity and prosperity?
00:16:07This Sunday, Hogan, you come face to face with your own destiny.
00:16:13Is all of this some sort of a perception of mine?
00:16:22Or is it reality?
00:16:27So what you gonna do?
00:16:31What you gonna do, Hulkster, this Sunday at Backlash?
00:16:36What you gonna do when reality comes down on you?
00:16:51And now, the WWF Overdrive of the Night, presented by Greyhound.
00:16:55Call, come by our terminal, or log on to greyhound.com for tickets.
00:16:59Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us.
00:17:01This time, I'm gonna give you an offer that you can't see please.
00:17:07Oh, boy!
00:17:08Oh, my God!
00:17:09Oh, my!
00:17:11I can't deal with this!
00:17:13You're hired, Stacy!
00:17:14Stacy!
00:17:16Hey, Taz, it's Billy Gibbons!
00:17:19C.C. Top, man!
00:17:21That's Billy Gibbons from C.C. Top!
00:17:23Well, you just heard Ken Rock re-doing C.C. Top's classic.
00:17:26You got legs, and I'll tell you, Billy Gibbons, huge WWF there.
00:17:30In the house tonight with a Smackdown!
00:17:32No doubt he's a main eventer, man.
00:17:34He's a top rocks.
00:17:37Following tag team contestant, he's figure 4-1-5.
00:17:41And he is wearing a ring, accompanied by Tori Wilson from Japan.
00:17:45Weighing in at 215 pounds, Tajiri!
00:17:50Oh, she's wearing that hot outfit again.
00:17:52I think Geisha, and I don't think Tori is too pleased to be wearing it.
00:17:55Tajiri's an absolute show, but if you don't wear that outfit means...
00:17:58Total disrespect and the humiliation shown from Tajiri to Tori.
00:18:03Tajiri's still a fifth.
00:18:05He believes Tori cost him the Cruiserweight title a couple of weeks ago.
00:18:08Oh, the ultimate question for me is, how does Tori cook sushi in that outfit?
00:18:12If he cooks sushi, sushi's raw.
00:18:15Oh, yeah, it's raw until you cook it.
00:18:17Once you're cooking, it ain't raw no more.
00:18:19What you know I need about cooking?
00:18:20And his partner weighing it at 200 pounds, Chavo Guerrero Jr.
00:18:27Another great Cruiserweight.
00:18:28Chavo Guerrero Jr.
00:18:30Toughen Up 2 trainer.
00:18:31He's back tonight after SmackDown MTV.
00:18:33Toughen Up 2.
00:18:35So it's Chavo and Tajiri in this tag team matchup here tonight on SmackDown.
00:18:40Later on, we're going to have a look back at the premiere of The Rocks movie out in L.A.
00:18:44And The Rocks on Conan O'Brien, The Scorpion King opens tomorrow night.
00:18:49The Rocks on Conan O'Brien tomorrow night to talk about what it will be.
00:18:52Stand back.
00:18:53There's a hurricane coming through.
00:18:58And Mickey is with the third one in a tournament in 15 pounds, The Hurricane.
00:19:04Great crowd for SmackDown here in Houston tonight.
00:19:06I'm going to remind all our fans, the WWE and WS coming to Louisville, Kentucky.
00:19:10And up in Canada in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Red Deer, and Lethbridge.
00:19:15Tickets go on sale Saturday for those great events.
00:19:22And his partner from Allentown, Pennsylvania, weighing it at 200 and 15 pounds,
00:19:28The Cruiserweight Ticket, Billy Kickback.
00:19:31If you look closely, Cody, you can see he just wiped it.
00:19:34You can see some brown on Billy's nose from the crowd here in Houston.
00:19:37He just wiped it off.
00:19:38Did you hit up that lead at that stage?
00:19:41Well, Billy Kittman's got a point.
00:19:42The whole Houston, Houston, Houston.
00:19:44Come on, my boy.
00:19:46Billy Kittman's got a point, Taz.
00:19:46He has a huge matchup Sunday at Backlash on pay-per-view with Kansas City.
00:19:51He defends the Cruiserweight Championship against the former champion Tajiri.
00:19:55But he does have a point.
00:19:56Many people don't know who he is, but he's going to show in the ring here tonight
00:20:00and then again on Sunday that a tremendous Cruiserweight Champion is who Billy Kittman is.
00:20:04And I agree.
00:20:05Billy Kittman is a great Cruiserweight Champion.
00:20:07There's no doubt.
00:20:08And I disagree with Billy.
00:20:09He's not underrated.
00:20:12He is popular.
00:20:13People know he is.
00:20:13He's a superstar.
00:20:14And look at this now.
00:20:16And Chavo Guerrero Jr., nice takedown by the Cruiserweight Champion, Billy Kittman,
00:20:20who indeed did do the right thing, Taz, here last week,
00:20:23standing up for Tory Wilson, who was being berated by Tajiri at the time.
00:20:28Well, I agree with Shaquille Kittman, you know, he did jump to Jerry from behind.
00:20:32What are you talking about?
00:20:33Now look at this, Kittman up over the top, and what a maneuver, and a dropkick by Kittman DiCello.
00:20:38What about just a few moments ago, Mr. McMahon with an extremely strange get-together with Hollywood Hulk Hogan,
00:20:46talking about deja vu, and is Mr. McMahon playing some sort of head game with the challenger for the Undisputed Title Cup Sunday?
00:20:55Well, I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. McMahon has played some head games, but, you know, Hollywood Hulk Hogan,
00:21:00I mean, you know, he's been around a long time, and if Mr. McMahon thinks he's gonna play with his head,
00:21:06Hogan ain't gonna go for it.
00:21:07And Tajiri, the former Cruiserweight Champion, in the ring now against the Hurricane.
00:21:12Tajiri has been a changed man over the past few weeks.
00:21:15A lot more aggressive, much more vicious.
00:21:18In the ring, what a shot in the Hurricane, posing a bit too much.
00:21:21Look at Tajiri, no expression on his face.
00:21:24As he goes to work on the Hurricane, Tajiri, his success is gonna come more and more
00:21:29because he don't care no more.
00:21:30And I respect that about Tajiri.
00:21:32We're talking about Mr. McMahon, and we ask the question,
00:21:34is he playing mind games with Hollywood Hulk Hogan?
00:21:37Well, Mr. McMahon is the person who put Hogan and Triple H.
00:21:41Oh!
00:21:41A shot right, Tajiri.
00:21:43McMahon's the person who put Hogan and Triple H together tonight
00:21:46in that tag team matchup against Jericho and Angle.
00:21:48And who knows what makes Mr. McMahon tick besides the almighty dollar,
00:21:53but I mean, I don't know why Mr. McMahon put Hogan and Triple H together.
00:21:57I guess just to see how they work together.
00:21:59You know what?
00:21:59They're teaming together tonight, but remember what Triple H said in that interview
00:22:02with good old JR on Raw this past Monday night.
00:22:05Triple H told Hulk Hogan, you made a big, big mistake
00:22:08when you dropped the big leg on me on SmackDown last Thursday night.
00:22:11Well, it was Triple H that made the mistake, Cole.
00:22:13He attacked Hogan from behind.
00:22:15But wait a minute, it was Kurt Angle who pushed Triple H into Hulk Hogan.
00:22:19Get your back straight as Billy Kidman, the Cruiserweight Champion,
00:22:23going to work in this matchup.
00:22:25Uh-oh.
00:22:26Chavo may be in control here.
00:22:31Oh, and off the top rope, that was Kidman, and Chavo is in control.
00:22:35And I'll tell you, this is Chavo Zanella Jr.
00:22:37What a hell of a wrestler's ass.
00:22:39He's got it in his blood, as you said earlier.
00:22:41Oh, no doubt that Guerrero's been kicking it for years.
00:22:44Oh!
00:22:45Speaking of kicks.
00:22:46And now look at Tajiri berating Tori again,
00:22:49ordering Tori around outside the ring.
00:22:54Tori doesn't belong that close to the ring.
00:22:56She's getting in the way of work here.
00:22:57She should be home cooking biscuits or making some Hong Kong fooia.
00:23:00Oh, man, what a kick by Kidman, and check out Hurricane.
00:23:06Hurricane watching this matchup.
00:23:07No doubt, and there's the kick.
00:23:11And here's Hurricane, and up the tag,
00:23:13delivering the right hands to Chavo Guerrero Jr.
00:23:16I'll tell you, this Cruiserweight division here on SmackDown
00:23:18is gonna be off the charts as you see with the action of this matchup.
00:23:21Oh, no doubt.
00:23:22I mean, the new SmackDown of Cruiserweight division is kicking it out big time.
00:23:25That's a lot of progress, and many more on the way,
00:23:28from what I've been told, is Hurricane delivers that right hand to Tajiri.
00:23:33Chavo's looking good.
00:23:34Big success on Tough Enough 2 for Chavo.
00:23:37I don't think Tajiri got a taste of his own medicine from the Hurricane.
00:23:40The Hurricane is whipped off the reversal by Tajiri.
00:23:44Oh, big chokeslam's coming.
00:23:46And the Hurricane delivers the chokeslam to Tajiri.
00:23:49I don't think he believes he did it.
00:23:51He's got it.
00:23:51Here's the cover.
00:23:52He's got a leg, and Chavo breaks up the three-pack.
00:23:55He's never hit that move.
00:23:56Oh, wow.
00:23:58Hurricane landed on his feet.
00:24:00What a neck break on Chavo Guerrero, Jr.
00:24:02He folded up Chavo with that.
00:24:04That chokeslam gave Hurricane some momentum.
00:24:06Hurricane!
00:24:07Setting up Tajiri for the eye of the Hurricane, perhaps, but Tajiri.
00:24:10And Hurricane up over the top.
00:24:12Great teamwork right there.
00:24:15And Hurricane's in trouble.
00:24:16Billy Kidman brought it back into the ring and knocking Chavo Guerrero down.
00:24:21Uh-oh, look out.
00:24:22Tajiri with a shot from behind.
00:24:24Turned it back on Tajiri.
00:24:25Oh, Kidman's in trouble.
00:24:27Look at the Hurricanes coming up with the apron.
00:24:29Chavo knocked down by the Hurricane.
00:24:32Look at Billy Kidman rolling Tajiri up.
00:24:34Tajiri rolled right through it.
00:24:35What's going on in this match?
00:24:37Hurricane on the crossbody.
00:24:39Lateral press, hooks the leg.
00:24:40He's got it.
00:24:41No, a kick out before the count of three.
00:24:44Those four of these guys are working real good as a team.
00:24:47Respectively.
00:24:48Oh, shit.
00:24:49Oh, look at this.
00:24:50Chavo grabbing the leg of Kidman.
00:24:52And Tajiri with a shot to the head.
00:24:54Hurricane may be out.
00:24:55That's got to be the end.
00:24:57Tajiri picks the Hurricane.
00:24:59Tajiri and Chavo win.
00:25:01Here are your winners.
00:25:02Chavo, Gero, Jr. and Tajiri.
00:25:05And if the Japanese buzzsaw can connect with a kick like that Sunday at Backlash.
00:25:10Check this out, check this out.
00:25:12It has a shot to an unsuspecting Billy Kidman.
00:25:16There's your future, Kidman.
00:25:18See you on Sunday at Backlash.
00:25:20Wow.
00:25:21As I was saying, if Tajiri can hit a kick like that Sunday, we're going to crown a new Cruiserweight champion.
00:25:27Why isn't Corey happy for Tajiri to get that big victory?
00:25:30Because Tajiri is acting like a fool.
00:25:32He had no reason to attack Kidman with a kick from behind.
00:25:35And now what's he going to do?
00:25:37He's going to speak his mind.
00:25:38Tajiri's going to speak his mind.
00:25:39He's got a microphone in his hand, I think.
00:25:43Look at Tajiri.
00:25:45Get the stepping, sweetheart.
00:25:46I just said hit the bricks, honey.
00:25:54Get the kick!
00:26:15When I say start, press the accelerator, and when I say stop, shut the car up.
00:26:20Five, six, five, four, three, two, one, go!
00:26:25And Mark Henry did it, he held that limo back after the 30 seconds,
00:26:29but didn't that jerk, Tess, he wouldn't get his foot off the accelerator.
00:26:32No, no, Tess had a cramp in his ankle, that's what happened.
00:26:35That could have been a crucial moment for Mark Henry.
00:26:40But Mark Henry did it, and what an incredible feat of strength to hold that limo back.
00:26:44I couldn't believe it.
00:26:46Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the world's strongest man, Mark Henry!
00:26:56This guy, indeed, is the world's strongest man.
00:27:00Absolutely, undoubtedly, he is a monster.
00:27:04Mark Henry, right there, is the world's strongest man.
00:27:12Great ovation for this Texas crowd, Mark Henry from right here in Texas.
00:27:16Mark, last Thursday on SmackDown, you were able to hold back a stretch limousine tonight.
00:27:24What unbelievable feat of strength will you have for us tonight?
00:27:28Do you see this car down here?
00:27:30I'm gonna walk down this ramp, and I'm gonna lift the side of that car and completely move those wheels off the ground.
00:27:40Mark, I hear some of the guys also making some friendly bets, some for you, but also some against you.
00:27:50They can bet all they want to, that's none of my business.
00:27:54My job is to lift this car and prove to them and to all the fans of the World Wrestling Federation and SmackDown
00:28:03that I am the strongest man in the World.
00:28:10Let's get it on!
00:28:12Well, Tess, let me get this straight.
00:28:14Mark Henry is gonna lift that car off the ground, and from what I've been told,
00:28:18that car weighs somewhere in the area of 4,600 pounds.
00:28:23I don't believe, I mean, holding back in the limo is one thing with the legs.
00:28:27Mark Henry's for real, he's gonna lift his car up, two wheels off the ground?
00:28:32That's over 4,000, what, 4,600 pounds?
00:28:34Yeah, that's 2 1⁄2 tons.
00:28:36Well, I don't know, I mean, Mark Henry's a strong dude, ain't no doubt, World Wrestling's man.
00:28:41But lifting a car off the ground, I don't know about this, I don't think he can do it, it's just my view on it.
00:28:46Well, he hurt Mark Floyd.
00:28:47Well, wait a minute.
00:28:48You worry about Mark Henry lifting the ground, man.
00:28:51Wait, wait, wait.
00:28:52I know how this works.
00:28:54We got even an engine in this car, now you guys operate.
00:28:57Hey, this is nothing.
00:28:58What's wrong with you, man?
00:28:59This is a real car.
00:29:00Check it out.
00:29:01What are you looking for?
00:29:03Check it out.
00:29:04Check it out.
00:29:05Hula Hula.
00:29:06Yeah, I bet you this thing's empty right here.
00:29:07Huh?
00:29:08What are you looking for?
00:29:09What do you think?
00:29:10This car is made by Mattel?
00:29:11This is a real car.
00:29:12Look, an engine.
00:29:13All right, so there is that.
00:29:14Who's satisfied, man?
00:29:15Satisfaction?
00:29:16I bet you I can lift this thing.
00:29:17Come on, man, feel cassette.
00:29:18Back off.
00:29:19Peep hair.
00:29:20What else you want?
00:29:21Huh?
00:29:22And I'll lift this thing myself.
00:29:23Who lifts it?
00:29:24Go ahead.
00:29:25Come on, strong man.
00:29:27Lift it up.
00:29:28Oh!
00:29:29Oh!
00:29:30What's wrong?
00:29:31Now, I worked up three times already today.
00:29:34I'm feeling a little drain.
00:29:35Tell me what to do.
00:29:36Come on.
00:29:37Wait, wait, wait.
00:29:38Come on, come on.
00:29:39I got a hundred bucks that says he ain't lifting this car.
00:29:41Who's in?
00:29:42Who's in?
00:29:43Who's in?
00:29:44Give me that money.
00:29:45Give me that money.
00:29:46Give me that money.
00:29:47I'll tell you what.
00:29:48Give me that money.
00:29:49Let's make this real.
00:29:50Put some real money up.
00:29:51Put some real money up.
00:29:52That's all I got, man.
00:29:53Tards are tough, man.
00:29:54Let's make this real money.
00:29:55Give me this.
00:29:56Make those real money.
00:29:57All right, let's do it.
00:29:58Let's do it, man.
00:29:59Come on.
00:30:00I don't believe he's even gonna attempt this.
00:30:16No way, man.
00:30:17Texas is behind him.
00:30:18Look at this.
00:30:19If I can't lift this, he can't lift this.
00:30:22This is amazing, Cole.
00:30:25This is a 4,600 pound automobile.
00:30:28He's getting his leverage from it.
00:30:32My God.
00:30:39Look at this.
00:30:41He did it.
00:30:42He did it.
00:30:43My God.
00:30:45He lifted a two and a half ton car about six inches off the ground.
00:30:51I can't believe it.
00:31:09Did Tess just shortchanged, Baruch?
00:31:14I think Tess just, just renegade him.
00:31:17Tess is a little bit of a soul over, I guess.
00:31:19Tess just slammed Baruch into the hood of that co-op.
00:31:24What is wrong with this, Tess?
00:31:29Tess is a damn jerk, bottom line.
00:31:32Just a soul over there.
00:31:49Hulkamania is indeed running wild in Houston tonight.
00:32:01Hey Cole, I'm a proud guy to admit.
00:32:03I was a proud Hulkamania when I was a kid growing up in the Hulk.
00:32:06He has been called the greatest sports entertainer of all time.
00:32:10Perhaps the greatest WWF champion and the most well-known personality in the history of his business.
00:32:18But Tess, Sunday in Backlash, can Hollywood Hulk Hogan climb that mountain one more time?
00:32:25Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:32:31Yeah.
00:32:32Well, that's a question even Hollywood Hulk Hogan would like to know the answer to.
00:32:36Hogan has proved all he's needed to prove in his career.
00:32:42Absolutely.
00:32:43But maybe he needs to prove one more thing to himself.
00:32:48Well, he wants to find out.
00:32:50Hey, I'm Hollywood Hulk Hogan, the icon.
00:32:53Can I be the top man in my field again?
00:32:56Can he become undisputed champion?
00:32:59Sunday at Backlash.
00:33:01Listen to these people.
00:33:03The Hulkamaniacs could be like a sixth man for a basketball team.
00:33:13Wolfman and football.
00:33:14If Hulkamania is running wild in Kansas City on Sunday,
00:33:19Perhaps Hulkamani can realize that dream.
00:33:22Perhaps Hulkamani can become champion one more time.
00:33:26He's taken on the best of the business.
00:33:28And that man is known as the game.
00:33:38It's the spot.
00:33:39He's got to be optimistic.
00:33:40Hawk Hogan and Hulk Hogan.
00:33:42The strong Hogan star.
00:33:43Perhaps Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:33:44The team is shooting.
00:33:46Who's fucked Taz?
00:33:47Hollywood Hulk Hogan is respected all over the world.
00:33:51Including Houston.
00:33:56I'm getting goosebumps.
00:34:03It's still running wild without a doubt.
00:34:10You know, I've been hearing the word reality used around here a lot lately.
00:34:15Well, is it reality that I'm going to beat Triple H this Sunday?
00:34:25Is it reality that I'm going to pull off what certain people think I can't do?
00:34:29And you know, Maniacs, is it reality that after all these years in the business, I'm going to reach way down deep inside and pull off the impossible and become the WWF champion one more time, damn it.
00:34:48It only takes three seconds.
00:34:51Well Vince, it's like you always say, perception is reality.
00:35:03I never thought.
00:35:04I never thought I would be back in the WWF.
00:35:06And I never thought that 67,000 screaming Hulkamaniacs would be cheering for me at WrestleMania.
00:35:19And I never thought that Hulkamania today would be running wilder and stronger than it's ever been.
00:35:26Well Vince, whether you call it reality or whether you call it perception, I'm loving every moment of it and I don't want it to end, brother.
00:35:47So this Sunday at Backlash, I've got a shot for the WWF title and I used to take the championship for granted because I thought that it would stick with me as long as I lived.
00:36:10But now that I've been out of the WWF for so many years and it's been so long since I've had the championship, I realize what that championship really means.
00:36:23I realize how precious this championship is and this might be my one shot to go for it and complete the journey that brought me back to the WWF.
00:36:35He's a realist.
00:36:46He knows he may have just one more chance to win the title.
00:36:52Well, with all that being said, you can call it corny if you want.
00:36:58You can call it a bunch of sentimental crap if you want.
00:37:02But to tell you the truth, I don't care because damn it, this is reality.
00:37:11And I believe in my heart that I can do this.
00:37:15And each and every one of those Hulkamaniacs out there, they believe I can do this.
00:37:21And Triple H, you better believe I can do this.
00:37:26Because at Backlash this Sunday in Kansas City, when the 24 inch pythons, the largest arms of the world are running wild.
00:37:35What are you gonna do, Triple H?
00:37:38What are you gonna do, brother, when Hulkamaniacs runs wild?
00:37:42What the hell does he want?
00:37:48Isn't it enough that Chris Jericho interrupted Hulk Hogan last week, showed Hogan absolutely no respect?
00:38:01I guess Jericho feels this is his time, this is his era.
00:38:07It's not his time, it is not his era.
00:38:10He can't smile on Jericho, can't.
00:38:13His ego and his pride.
00:38:15Jericho's still upset that Mr. McMahon named Hogan the number one contender and not himself.
00:38:21Jericho's the first ever Undisputed Champion.
00:38:23Hogan never was.
00:38:25He wants the Undisputed Champion.
00:38:27He lost the title to Triple H at WrestleMania.
00:38:30And Jericho can't get over the fact that he no longer carries that title around.
00:38:43Look at him strut around.
00:38:47You wanna talk about reality?
00:38:51The reality is this, Hogan, you are a farce!
00:38:56The reality is, you are a joke!
00:39:01And the reality is, no matter what all these people think, and no matter what they say,
00:39:09I am not the has-been around here!
00:39:14This is ridiculous.
00:39:17I am not the has-been, Hogan.
00:39:24You are the has-been!
00:39:27You don't want Hulkamania to end?
00:39:34I got news for you, Grandpa.
00:39:37Hulkamania ended around the same time that the Rubik's Cube and Where's the Beef ended!
00:39:50And the fact that a has-been like you has a title shot at Backlash, and a true living legend like Chris Jericho doesn't even have a match on the pay-per-view is a travesty!
00:40:05Jealousy!
00:40:07He's got a point!
00:40:08It's not fair!
00:40:09He's got a hell of a point, actually!
00:40:11Jericho's right!
00:40:12Hogan!
00:40:13Hogan!
00:40:14Hogan!
00:40:15Hogan!
00:40:16Hogan!
00:40:17Who the hell do you think you are, Hogan?
00:40:19What have you ever accomplished in the World Wrestling Federation, huh?
00:40:23What have you ever done?
00:40:25Yeah, so you sold a couple of t-shirts.
00:40:30Yeah, so you had your own Saturday morning cartoon.
00:40:34Big deal!
00:40:36Jericho insane?
00:40:38Big freaking deal!
00:40:40I was the very first undisputed champion in history!
00:40:45He was!
00:40:46That's right!
00:40:47You said it earlier!
00:40:48I was the undisputed champion until Triple H stole that from me at WrestleMania!
00:40:52He's a living legend!
00:40:53He's a living legend!
00:40:54He robbed me of the championship, and for that, I despise him!
00:41:00But I'll tell you what, Hogan, I'm gonna enjoy it when he tears you apart at Backlash, because
00:41:14at least Triple H won the championship by beating the very best in the business.
00:41:21He beat Chris Jericho!
00:41:24What about you, Hogan?
00:41:30Since you've been back in the World Wrestling Federation, you've had one single one-on-one match, and you blew it!
00:41:39You lost at WrestleMania, but yet you still get a title shot?
00:41:46You still have all these mealy-mouthed morons following your every move?!
00:41:52You still have them chanting your name over and over again?!
00:42:00You know something, why don't you shut up, Jericho? I'm tired!
00:42:15I'm tired of listening to your crap!
00:42:19If you've got something to say to me, or you've got a problem with me, brother, why don't you come down here and say it to my face, dude?
00:42:27Yeah!
00:42:28Come on, big man!
00:42:30Call the dude!
00:42:31Hogan just called Jericho out!
00:42:33Called him down to the ring!
00:42:35Jericho ain't threatening, he's ready to go!
00:42:38Jericho and Hogan are supposed to be on opposite team for the big tag match tonight!
00:42:43Cole, I think Hogan made a little mistake here, I can feel it!
00:42:47And Jericho slowly making his way to the ring!
00:42:51And I hope Hogan shuts him up once and for all right here, right now!
00:42:55I think all these people wanna see that too, but they might not get it!
00:42:58Jericho don't sweat Hogan!
00:42:59And Hogan don't sweat Jericho!
00:43:01Impromptu matchup maybe, Cole!
00:43:07I think Hogan is through talking tasks!
00:43:11Hogan, I've been waiting to do this for-
00:43:14Oh, wait!
00:43:15Right here to Jericho!
00:43:16Knocking Jericho down!
00:43:17And here comes Hogan!
00:43:19Wait a minute!
00:43:20It's caught an angle!
00:43:21A damn caught an angle!
00:43:23It'll angle and Jericho with a two-on-one!
00:43:26You can't claim angle!
00:43:27I mean, Hogan's-
00:43:28Hey, look!
00:43:29It's Edge!
00:43:30Angle's opponent in back last Sunday!
00:43:32Edge and Angle exchanging moves!
00:43:34Hogan and Jericho!
00:43:37It's none of Edge's business!
00:43:38What are you doing out there?
00:43:40Hogan and Edge clean it up!
00:43:42Wait a minute!
00:43:44First of all, it's shot!
00:43:45And Edge won't have!
00:43:47What is it?
00:43:48What is it?
00:43:49Now Jericho and Angle at the pack to watch each other's backs!
00:43:53The Edge clean down!
00:43:54They get a little bit of Angle tonight!
00:43:56And don't forget, later tonight, Hogan's gonna get Hogan and Jericho in the same ring!
00:44:00Hogan is replacing it, Angle and Jericho here!
00:44:03Jericho here tonight!
00:44:08Hurry into 7-Eleven for cool Slurpee drinks in three WWF Collector Cups featuring The Rock,
00:44:13Lead in the Hardy Boys and Rob Van Damme!
00:44:15Hey, right Slurpee?
00:44:16Wrong cup!
00:44:18Try this one!
00:44:19It's Rob Van Damme!
00:44:21Um, sure thing Mr. Damme, Mr. Van Damme!
00:44:24Hey!
00:44:25Try Coca-Cola Classic or the new Bruising Berry in WWF Collector Cups!
00:44:29Collect all three!
00:44:30Or collect just one!
00:44:33Oh, thank heaven!
00:44:34Hey, Rob!
00:44:35I got one for you too!
00:44:37Who the hell do you think you are?
00:44:41You're not even supposed to be here tonight!
00:44:42I heard you had a back injury from being Olympic slammed on a concrete last week!
00:44:43Who the hell do you think you are?
00:44:44And what do you think you're doing interfering in that?
00:44:45Huh?
00:44:46I want an explanation from you, Edge!
00:44:47You know what?
00:44:48Don't give me an explanation!
00:44:49Just get the hell out!
00:44:50Get out!
00:44:51You want me to get out, Vince?
00:44:52Well, you know what?
00:44:53I'm getting real close to you right now!
00:44:54And I see fear in your eyes, Vince!
00:44:55I see fear in your eyes, Vince!
00:44:56I see fear in the past!
00:44:57I see fear in the past!
00:44:58You're not even supposed to be here tonight!
00:44:59You're not even supposed to be here tonight!
00:45:00I heard you had a back injury from being Olympic slammed on a concrete last week!
00:45:01Who the hell do you think you are?
00:45:02And what do you think you're doing interfering in that?
00:45:03Huh?
00:45:04I want an explanation from you, Edge!
00:45:05You know what?
00:45:06Don't give me an explanation!
00:45:07Just get the hell out!
00:45:08Get out!
00:45:16In the billion-dollar bad boy's eyes!
00:45:18Why is that?
00:45:19Is it fear?
00:45:20Because of what I'm gonna do to angle your little lapdog at Backlash on Sunday?
00:45:25Or maybe, Vince, maybe I scare you.
00:45:29And Vince, I should scare you.
00:45:32But I'll leave.
00:45:34For now.
00:45:35Vince, I can see you're upset.
00:45:48Is there anything that, uh, I could do for you?
00:45:53Yeah, there is.
00:45:55I feel damn aggressive.
00:46:00Bring Triple H to my office.
00:46:03Triple H?
00:46:07What does Mr. McMahon want with Triple H now?
00:46:10Well, it's his former son-in-law.
00:46:12Well, maybe we're gonna have a cup of coffee or something.
00:46:14What the hell else is gonna happen here tonight?
00:46:16Well, Tess had to go one-on-one with Farouk.
00:46:20This match set up just a few moments ago after Tess was made down a bet.
00:46:24He didn't think Mark Henry could let that team have to go off the ground.
00:46:28Mark Henry did, and Tess refused to take Farouk.
00:46:31And you know Farouk has gotta be furious.
00:46:34But Tess, Pearl Harbor let that ambush him.
00:46:37And look at Tess ambush and Farouk going to work in the beginning of this matchup with a big right hand from Tess to Farouk.
00:46:43Come on, out of the corner.
00:46:44Come on, man.
00:46:45Come on up, Tess.
00:46:46Tess with the elbows to Farouk where you are in Houston tonight for SmackDown.
00:46:49WWF Live tomorrow night, Tess.
00:46:51That's our Coliseum on Long Island.
00:46:53Superstars on Saturday will be in Des Moines and Topeka.
00:46:56Sunday in Kansas City for Backlash.
00:46:58Come on.
00:46:59Monday.
00:47:00Come on, come on.
00:47:01Tuesday in India.
00:47:02And look at Farouk bouncing off that top turnbuckle.
00:47:05No one's gonna be a fight.
00:47:06You ever been in a fight, Cole?
00:47:07You ever been in a fight, Cole?
00:47:08And Valparaiso, the WWF Superstars, there as well on Monday as Tess hammers away on Farouk.
00:47:16Have you ever been in a fight, Cole?
00:47:18Not this matter.
00:47:19You don't have to be like a cat or nothing like that, a parakeet.
00:47:23I mean, what a human being.
00:47:24And the impact from Tess, and he's manhandling Farouk in this matchup.
00:47:29And keep in mind, Tess still has immunity.
00:47:32He can't be fired, and he struts around thinking he can do whatever he wants to do
00:47:35here in the World Wrestling Federation.
00:47:37Well, that's what Tess is doing right now.
00:47:39Straight up Smash Mouth style, I like that, physical.
00:47:42To the small, the back of Farouk, and Tess again.
00:47:45Look at that, Farouk to the counter, and now can Farouk gain some momentum?
00:48:02Well, Edge has left the building, Mr. McMahon asking him to leave.
00:48:07And I'll tell you, what about the enormity now, that matchup later on tonight?
00:48:12Hulk Hogan and Triple H teaming up against Kurt Angle against Jericho.
00:48:16And after what Angle and Jericho did to Hogan a few moments ago.
00:48:19Boy.
00:48:20What about when Hogan did to Jericho?
00:48:23What a slam.
00:48:24On his leg, and Tess kicks out before the count of three.
00:48:28Now, this is just two big Hulk boys going at it in this matchup.
00:48:32And look at Tess, Tess using the ropes.
00:48:37And referee Teddy Long.
00:48:39You know what that does?
00:48:40That gives you extra leverage.
00:48:41Come on.
00:48:42Look at Tess intimidating another referee.
00:48:45He's got the immunity deal going on still.
00:48:47He gives him no right to go intimidating referees.
00:48:50Do whatever he wants.
00:48:51He's Tess.
00:48:52Immunity.
00:48:53Immunity.
00:48:54Wow, what a counter by Tess with a right hand in the face.
00:48:57Punch right in the noggin.
00:48:58Tess missed with a victory.
00:49:00Run out by the top rope.
00:49:01Here comes the big shoulder drive.
00:49:03Here's the cover, hook of the leg out, Tess and a kick out.
00:49:06Farouk's just hitting people like that when they're carrying a brown football.
00:49:09Yeah, bring back his Florida State days.
00:49:11And here's Tess off the ropes.
00:49:13Kick to the midsection of Farouk.
00:49:15Again, this match all came about when Tess reneged down a bed a few moments ago.
00:49:19Tess going for that pawp handle.
00:49:21And Farouk counters an elbow by Tess as well.
00:49:25Tess misses.
00:49:27Two balls to knock.
00:49:28Could have it.
00:49:29And look at Farouk.
00:49:30Farouk just wants to win.
00:49:33He took one out of Tess.
00:49:34Here's your, Farouk.
00:49:37I hate when a guy cheats like that, Cole.
00:49:40Farouk took one out of Tess.
00:49:42Uh-oh.
00:49:43Tess delivered a big boot to the face of Farouk.
00:49:46Like that.
00:49:47I guess Tess is an absolute jerk and a sore loser.
00:49:52Now, when you call that man a jerk to his face, you wouldn't do that, right?
00:49:56That's not nice to call him Tess a jerk.
00:49:58He's an intense athlete.
00:50:00Tess doesn't lose that often.
00:50:02But when he does, look out.
00:50:04Take another look at what happened after Tess lost the matchup.
00:50:07Yeah.
00:50:08His soul got connected with the Farouk's draw line.
00:50:11What a shot.
00:50:12Look at that gluck.
00:50:14Fantastic.
00:50:15Come in.
00:50:16Stacy, I know you think I'm hot, but you just can't keep barging in here staring at me all the time.
00:50:31As if.
00:50:32Who's not?
00:50:33I came in here to tell you that, um...
00:50:34I came in here to tell you that, um...
00:50:38I came in here to tell you that, um...
00:50:40I came in here to tell you that, um...
00:50:45I came in here to tell you that, Mr. McMahon needs you in his office now.
00:51:01I came in here to tell you that Mr. McMahon needs you in his office now.
00:51:17Stacey, you can't make me come just by telling me to.
00:51:27Hey, tell him I'll be there when I get there, all right?
00:51:29Come on, let's go.
00:51:41Parkour Holly, we'd like to get your thoughts tonight before you step into the ring with DDP.
00:51:47My thoughts? What the hell kind of question is that? And who hired you?
00:51:54You want a thought? How about me whipping DDP's ass? How's that for a thought?
00:52:00But hold on. I have a second thought.
00:52:03The thought of DDP laying flat on his back while I kick his teeth down his throat.
00:52:09And then I look at him and I ask him,
00:52:12How do you like me now?
00:52:15With that said, Charmel, I'm fixing it.
00:52:18What the hell are you smiling at?
00:52:23What am I smiling at?
00:52:27I don't know. Why don't you tell me?
00:52:30No, no, no, no, no. I got it. I got it.
00:52:32An angry, irritable, cantankerous bully who likes to intimidate innocent people while they're trying to do their jobs.
00:52:42Yeah, that's what I was smiling at.
00:52:45And frankly, it's starting to me off.
00:52:52Yeah, and?
00:52:54And that's not a bad thing.
00:52:59That's a good thing.
00:53:07Where is he?
00:53:08He said he was gonna come.
00:53:09Well, well, well, well, it's about time you arrived.
00:53:18Um, how about if I meet you back at the other time?
00:53:22I'll go out at the other time.
00:53:23I'll meet you later.
00:53:25Okay? Thank you.
00:53:29You know, you've been to hell and back, haven't you?
00:53:34Just to become the World Wrestling Federation Champion.
00:53:36I admire that.
00:53:37I really do, but I just wondered this Sunday at Backlash,
00:53:42are you capable of driving a spear into the heart of Hulkamania?
00:53:48Are you cold enough, are you calloused enough to dampen the fires of the greatest comeback in the history of sports entertainment?
00:54:01If you're not, take solace in this fact.
00:54:07Hogan is the WWF Champion, will be on both SmackDown and Raw.
00:54:11But you, should you lose the WWF Championship, will be the exclusive property of SmackDown.
00:54:22Yo, it's me, it's me, it's D.D.P.
00:54:33Well, if I got this quote correct, D.D.P. called Hardcore Holly an angry, evil, cantankerous bully.
00:54:43He just likes to intimidate people who are smaller than him.
00:54:46And what's wrong with that?
00:54:48Oh!
00:54:51The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:54:54Now, in the ring from the Jersey Shore, weighing in at 248 pounds,
00:54:59D.D.D.P.
00:55:02Now, D.D.P.
00:55:04Tip for action, one-on-one with Hardcore Holly, here on SmackDown tonight.
00:55:10Well, tonight's SmackDown will be brought to you by Ultimate Fights from the Movies,
00:55:14now available on DVD.
00:55:16And by Taco Bell, think outside the bun.
00:55:20And by Clearacell, acting defense cleaner.
00:55:23Clearacell, clearly looking better.
00:55:26Speaking of clear, did you see the chop, the teeth I'm giving you?
00:55:30He's shining more than ever.
00:55:31And Promobile Alabama, weighing in at the first four pounds, Hardcore Holly.
00:55:38Hardcore Holly's in for action to ask Bill to go tonight.
00:55:42Mr. McMahon has put Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Triple H together as a team
00:55:47to take on Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho.
00:55:50And the obvious question we're asking all night is,
00:55:52how can Hogan and Triple H operate as a unit, a cohesive unit tonight?
00:55:59How can they coexist?
00:56:01Hogan and Triple H will meet one-on-one for the undisputed title Sunday at Backlash.
00:56:07And D.D.P. in the face of Hardcore Holly.
00:56:11And Hardcore Holly, who loves to intimidate his opponents,
00:56:15hammering away on D.D.P.
00:56:16Not only does Hogan and Hogan tonight operate as a unit,
00:56:22but the thing is, Angle and Jericho, they've got to pack.
00:56:26They are a unit.
00:56:26D.D.P. went through the ropes of Hardcore Holly.
00:56:29A tremendous counteroff to D.D.P.
00:56:30but a big clothesline.
00:56:32D.D.P. blocked the hip tosses.
00:56:33Clothesline Holly.
00:56:35Here's Mike Baker by D.D.P.
00:56:37He's talking to Bob Holly, Hardcore Holly earlier today,
00:56:39and he was extra miserable today.
00:56:42We had a good misery in Kansas City.
00:56:43What a shot.
00:56:44Hardcore miserable.
00:56:46Look at Diamond Dallas Page hung up on the tough turnbuckle.
00:56:49But I cannot believe what I just heard a few moments ago.
00:56:52Mr. McMahon telling Triple H that if he loses the end of the speed of title at Backlash,
00:56:57Triple H becomes Mr. McMahon's property, so to speak, exclusively on SmackDown.
00:57:02That would be...
00:57:04What a shot.
00:57:07If the game were to lose the under-screwed title to Hogan,
00:57:11he'd be part of SmackDown.
00:57:12What would Mr. McMahon then do?
00:57:14His worst nightmare, the game, would be him.
00:57:17Wow.
00:57:17Yeah.
00:57:18His worst nightmare.
00:57:19Think about Triple H, he'd not only lose the title,
00:57:21but have to go back to work for his first.
00:57:23That's what I meant.
00:57:25What do you think I said?
00:57:26What a shot to D.D.P.
00:57:28That's what I said.
00:57:29Triple H's worst nightmare.
00:57:31Mr. McMahon with the plug.
00:57:32Triple H and what a poop to the face.
00:57:36Oh!
00:57:37And a blows line from Holly.
00:57:39Holly just leveling Paige.
00:57:41Hardcore Holly in complete control of D.D.P.
00:57:46Look at this.
00:57:47Impact.
00:57:49One of the trainers of Tough It Up 2,
00:57:52intentionally Hardcore Holly's middle name.
00:57:55What do you think?
00:57:56D.D.P.'s got about 50 or 65 teeth or something?
00:57:58Oh!
00:57:59D.D.P.
00:58:00wisely knocking Hardcore off the top rope.
00:58:04That'll hurt a guy even as tough as Hardcore Holly.
00:58:06And D.D.P.
00:58:07looking to take control of this matchup.
00:58:10Let's go, hey!
00:58:10I don't know if he's wearing like a steel sheet under his tights or something,
00:58:13but I don't think he is.
00:58:13Now don't forget, folks, still the...
00:58:15Oh!
00:58:16Super-close line!
00:58:17D.D.P. to Hardcore Holly.
00:58:19Both men have been knocked down.
00:58:21Wow, that was like a jackknife superplex.
00:58:24I think that...
00:58:25I don't know if I'm going down on a limb here.
00:58:26I think D.D.P.'s boot sprung into that midsection of Bob Holly on that suplex.
00:58:30Hardcore Holly slowly making to his feet.
00:58:33D.D.P. as well.
00:58:34Diamond Dallas Page fights and left to Hardcore Holly.
00:58:37And what a close line!
00:58:40Holly's hurting.
00:58:41You don't seem to follow Hardcore Holly hurt this much in a matchup,
00:58:44but D.D.P.'s got about it.
00:58:45D.D.P. too, and it kicked out by Hardcore Holly.
00:58:48Uh-oh, D.D.P. called for the Diamond Cutter.
00:58:52Hardcore Holly!
00:58:53Oh!
00:58:54That's got to be it!
00:58:56Good bye!
00:58:57He got it!
00:58:57The best drum kick in the business gets Hardcore Holly the win!
00:59:01Here is your winner, Hardcore Holly!
00:59:05You hear that?
00:59:06The fat lady singing, and I think D.D.P. chipped a tooth!
00:59:11Yeah, Hardcore talking some trash, and now the celebration.
00:59:14He's smiling, look at Hardcore, look at the looking guy!
00:59:17He's smiling away.
00:59:19Hardcore says, I'm on up on you, big boy.
00:59:22Wait a minute, Shane Ullmah!
00:59:25D.D.P. with the right hands to Hardcore.
00:59:27D.D.P. bringing it to Hardcore Holly!
00:59:30Sending him a good-oh!
00:59:31D.D.P. shutting Hardcore Holly's mouth, at least for now, with the Diamond Cutter!
00:59:40D.D.P. got all of that Diamond Cutter, and Hardcore Holly!
00:59:44That flatters back, you don't see that much!
00:59:47You know what, Angle?
00:59:48What happened before was a disgrace!
00:59:49You're damn right!
00:59:50It was ridiculous!
00:59:51But I'm almost glad that it happened.
00:59:52You know why?
00:59:53Because that gives you even more of a reason to beat the hell out of that snot-nosed punk edge
01:00:07of that backlash, and it gives both of us even more of a reason to want to beat the hell out of Triple H, and has been Hogan tonight!
01:00:14You know?
01:00:15And when you take Triple H, and put him in the ankle lock, and you make him tap, and you suck the life out of him, you're gonna hear-
01:00:21Hold, hold, hold!
01:00:22What'd you just say?
01:00:24When you put him in the ankle lock?
01:00:26No, no, no, no!
01:00:27After that!
01:00:28Oh, you're gonna make him tap?
01:00:29No, no!
01:00:30Before that!
01:00:31When you suck the-
01:00:33Oh, don't say that!
01:00:35What, you suck?
01:00:36You said it again!
01:00:38What is wrong with you, Angle?
01:00:41I do not suck!
01:00:43I'm an Olympic gold medalist!
01:00:49You know it.
01:00:51And tonight, I'm gonna make Triple H, Hulk Hogan, and anyone else who thinks otherwise pay!
01:00:58Scream about it, baby.
01:01:02I'm a hero, damn it!
01:01:07It's true.
01:01:12Let's just go.
01:01:14What is this?
01:01:23Take your hat off, Cole.
01:01:25Hold on, I got your hair.
01:01:26What?
01:01:27Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. McMahon's spiritual advisor, D-Von!
01:01:41Spiritual advisor?
01:01:42That's exactly right.
01:01:43When did Mr. McMahon find faith?
01:01:46Mr. McMahon's a very faithful man, and he's full of spirit.
01:01:49And this man right here, D-Von, is fulfilling Mr. McMahon's spiritual needs.
01:01:54Well, we did learn last week that Mr. McMahon was gonna be D-Von's benefactor.
01:01:59That he wants to be involved, but...
01:02:03Well, you know what?
01:02:04Whenever Mr. McMahon's involved, he's gotta raise a little bit of eyebrows.
01:02:08I trust him, and I trust him in my faith in D-Von's hands, brother.
01:02:15Ladies and gentlemen of the congregation, I come to you, stand before you, as a humble servant of the man above.
01:02:33Testify!
01:02:34You see, two weeks ago, a great prophet came to me and said, D-Von, you must leave the World Wrestling Federation and go find yourself.
01:02:58What?
01:02:59Oh, testify!
01:03:00What?
01:03:01Because one week later, what?
01:03:04I came back, what?
01:03:07Not only did I find myself, what?
01:03:11But I found the man above, what?
01:03:14Oh, yes.
01:03:15What?
01:03:16I found joy, what?
01:03:19I found redemption, what?
01:03:21What?
01:03:22Oh, and I found peace of mind, what?
01:03:28What?
01:03:29And first and foremost, what?
01:03:31I think, I should thank the man, or shall I say, the prophet, what?
01:03:38That showed me that light, what?
01:03:41That showed me that way, what?
01:03:43What?
01:03:44Oh, and that great prophet, what?
01:03:46What?
01:03:47Is a wealthy man, what?
01:03:49What?
01:03:50He's a powerful man, what?
01:03:52What?
01:03:53Oh, that great prophet, what?
01:03:55What?
01:03:56Is the man, what?
01:03:57What?
01:03:58None other than, what?
01:04:00What?
01:04:01Vince McMahon.
01:04:02A prophet?
01:04:03A prophet?
01:04:04A prophet.
01:04:05Testify.
01:04:06Testify, D-Von.
01:04:07We can show you the light if you let us.
01:04:14Oh, behold, I sing you out as sheep amongst the wolves.
01:04:22Me and the great prophet, Mr. McMahon, we are the sheep and you are the wolves.
01:04:36You are the wicked.
01:04:38We are the strong.
01:04:40And I promise you, if you let me show you the light, I will take everything to the man
01:04:52above.
01:04:53I will show him what kind of redemption needs to be done.
01:04:59Because you see, like he did me.
01:05:04He picked me up.
01:05:06He turned me around.
01:05:08He set my feet on solid ground.
01:05:12If he did it for me, he can do it for you.
01:05:19As far as I'm concerned, this survey on my brother is over.
01:05:31Testify, testify, brother D-Von.
01:05:34I feel plans to hold on you.
01:05:36Plans?
01:05:37I feel like I've been just dipped in some braised water.
01:05:41Yeah, I feel like I've been dipped in something too and it ain't holy water.
01:05:44Oh, look.
01:05:45Kid, kids are from the years.
01:05:48And now what he's doing is he's got a conatious lane.
01:05:53A conatious lane.
01:05:54A conatious lane.
01:05:55And these people are giving him money.
01:05:57A conatious lane.
01:05:58There's nothing wrong with that.
01:05:59Mr. McMahon, a prophet?
01:06:00Give me a break and you're buying all this stuff.
01:06:03Come here.
01:06:04Come here.
01:06:05I'll give you 50 cents.
01:06:06A conatious lane.
01:06:08And now, the Whack of the Night.
01:06:11Presented by Lorillard Tobacco Company's Youth Smoking Prevention Program.
01:06:15Tobacco is wacko if you're a teen.
01:06:17Hey!
01:06:18Kurt Angle from behind knocking Triple H into Hulk Hogan.
01:06:21Hogan thinks Triple H nailed him from behind on pause!
01:06:24It is a preview of Backlash come early!
01:06:26A move!
01:06:27The leg drop!
01:06:28Hulk Hogan sending a message to the game!
01:06:31Tobacco is wacko if you're a teen.
01:06:33And based on what happened last Thursday night on SmackDown,
01:06:38how can Hogan and Triple H coexist in this tag team match here tonight?
01:06:44That's the ultimate question.
01:06:45Oh!
01:06:49And here is that absolute pompous jackass, Chris Jericho,
01:06:55the audacity of this man to come out here and disrespect Hulk Hogan
01:07:00Hogan like he didn't win tonight!
01:07:05Totally tag team contest, he's scheduled for one fall approaching the race
01:07:09for Budapak Manitoba.
01:07:11And the score of 27 pounds, Chris Jericho!
01:07:16Tabs, I understand Chris Jericho's voice.
01:07:18He doesn't have a match at Backlash.
01:07:20He's upset about it.
01:07:22He was the first ever under-speated champion.
01:07:24But it gives him no right to come out here and disrespect your legend like Hulk Hogan.
01:07:29But why is Y2J getting respect by not having a match at Backlash?
01:07:34No, Hogan's far.
01:07:35Well, but Hogan, he's maybe a little envious of Hogan.
01:07:38How do you know?
01:07:39You don't speak for Y2J.
01:07:40I can't speak for Y2J.
01:07:42Jericho's obviously a little upset.
01:07:44He don't have a match.
01:07:45He's partner from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
01:07:52weighing the Twitter at 37 pounds,
01:07:55Kurt Angle!
01:07:57You won!
01:08:00You won!
01:08:03You won!
01:08:07But this man has a hell of a match!
01:08:09Sunday at Backlash at Kansas City on pay-per-view.
01:08:13Kurt Angle looks one-on-one with Edge!
01:08:17You know, Edge has got to have revenge on his mind.
01:08:20I mean, last week, Kurt Angle, you know,
01:08:22Angle slammed David on the concrete.
01:08:25That had to hurt like hell.
01:08:26And now that we're there a little while ago,
01:08:28Edge got thrown out of the building.
01:08:31Angle and Terrence go forward to the pack
01:08:33for a couple of weeks to go to watch each other's backs.
01:08:36Hogan is all fired up after what Jericho and Angle did to him earlier tonight.
01:09:05For watching this man that had to keep growing up.
01:09:08The Hulkster made me want to get into this business.
01:09:11And I was proud to watch him, and it's cool to watch him again.
01:09:13But here comes the man.
01:09:24And it's Carter from Prince Connecticut,
01:09:28Weighing in at 272 pounds,
01:09:30He is the oldest mutant world's first leg formation champion, Triple H.
01:09:39Levi was out of here earlier, calling Mr. McMahon a problem.
01:09:43Mr. McMahon has just played evil,
01:09:46putting Triple H and Hogan together on the same team tonight,
01:09:50knowing what we're going to do to each other.
01:09:52And that's last three days.
01:09:55Hey, Mr. McMahon is trying to please the fans.
01:09:57I mean, come on, look at this.
01:09:58Hogan and the game teaming up the first time ever.
01:10:02Just the back, man.
01:10:03Harvey the last.
01:10:04And he's staring down Turn Angle.
01:10:07The game can defend his legacy with a victory Sunday
01:10:13over the legendary Hogan.
01:10:15Like he's in pain.
01:10:17No one will stand between Triple H and the title.
01:10:21Hold on a second.
01:10:22Look at Hulk Hogan's eyes.
01:10:24Look at the way he's looking at the game.
01:10:26I'm not too sure if he trusts Triple H tonight in his matchup.
01:10:30And you know, come to think of it,
01:10:32it might just be Hulkamanias that stand between the title and Triple H.
01:10:36No one will stand between Triple H and that title.
01:10:41He has went too hard to get to where he is today.
01:10:45He has hurtled many obstacles.
01:10:47The inch of five.
01:10:49The 29 other men of the Royal Rumble.
01:10:52A vindictive one.
01:10:53And he won't allow Hulkamanias to a friendly end.
01:10:57Triple H and greed of being the best.
01:11:01And all remember the Trump crime.
01:11:03If Triple H's boosted that Badmaster Hogan,
01:11:06he is property to SmackDown,
01:11:08which means he's property to Mr. McMahon.
01:11:11Now Triple H respects Hulk Hogan,
01:11:13but Triple H once established his growing legacy as a champion.
01:11:18And tonight, these two opponents will be on the same team.
01:11:22You're right, Cole.
01:11:23Triple H does respect Hulk Hogan,
01:11:25but he loves the Undisputed Championship.
01:11:28Who's gonna start for this team of Hogan and Triple H?
01:11:31And Hogan going to allow the Undisputed Champion
01:11:34to start things off against Dirt Anger.
01:11:36And Angle and Triple H locked up, center of the ring.
01:11:42It is gonna be an historic night, Sunday in Kansas City.
01:11:47And here's Triple H with a right hand.
01:11:49So many have tried to stir the pot between Triple H and Hogan.
01:11:57Angle's done, Jericho's done it.
01:11:59Mr. McMahon is trying to do it here tonight.
01:12:01And look at this.
01:12:02And look at the back backdrop.
01:12:04Big high backdrop.
01:12:06You gotta wonder, does Hogan wanna get in there?
01:12:08What does he want?
01:12:09What does Triple H do, Dirty Work?
01:12:11Well, you know, six months ago,
01:12:12we wouldn't even have been talking about this man of it, Taz.
01:12:15Triple H was in.
01:12:16Look at that.
01:12:17That's why I get it.
01:12:18We've seen enough of that thing last week.
01:12:21I don't wanna see Angle's bun anymore.
01:12:23Who's going to think he is?
01:12:25Lita?
01:12:26Oh, what a shot, my Angle to Hogan.
01:12:28That's a good one, though.
01:12:29What's the line if it's not a good one?
01:12:31Angle all fired up.
01:12:32I think he believes Hulk Hogan was laughing at him.
01:12:35And Hogan wants a piece of our Olympic hero.
01:12:38And Triple H again.
01:12:40And here's the tag made to Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
01:12:44And the respect for this capacity crowd, for the legend.
01:12:48Can Hogan do it one more time?
01:12:50Can he climb to the top of the mountain and win the title?
01:12:54He sat out here all year night, Taz, and said he believes that he can do this.
01:12:58And look at the power of a 24-inch pipe.
01:13:01Angle's an Olympic icon.
01:13:05I don't know if Hogan's ever faced anybody like that in his years.
01:13:08Look at Jericho going bowed up.
01:13:10Yeah, that's a muscle for you.
01:13:12This Jericho's an absolute idiot.
01:13:14He's jacked.
01:13:15Look at him.
01:13:16He has no respect for what Hogan has accomplished in this industry.
01:13:20He's a living legend, he's larger than life.
01:13:22Look at the camps on now, Jericho.
01:13:24And now Jericho wants a test of strength.
01:13:30Don't do it, Hogan.
01:13:31You'll get hurt.
01:13:32With a legendary Hogan.
01:13:33And you can hear the sixth man, the Hulkamaniacs in the crowd.
01:13:37Look at the strength.
01:13:39That's what fighting him should do.
01:13:41And look at Angle from behind.
01:13:43And a cheap shot.
01:13:45The Kone, or a double team.
01:13:47And Triple H being held back from coming to the ring by the referee.
01:13:5024-inch Pythons ain't helping now.
01:13:52They're right.
01:13:53They're right, they are.
01:13:54Double clothesline to Jericho and Angle.
01:13:56Like I said, those 24-inch Pythons are really helping him now.
01:14:00And every time you think that Hogan's got a disadvantage, Tad,
01:14:03he just continues to surprise us.
01:14:06Top broken.
01:14:07I feel you.
01:14:08Talking to him.
01:14:09It's champ.
01:14:10Hogan's machine.
01:14:11Number one, I just picked up machine.
01:14:13Hogan with a clothesline to Kill Angle.
01:14:14Get up, get up, get up.
01:14:15Hogan and Triple H Sunday, Backlash on Pay Per View.
01:14:19Hogan has established his legacy.
01:14:23Triple H hopes to build on his legacy.
01:14:26And here now is the game.
01:14:27A couple of days from now, Hogan and the game will be tearing each other apart.
01:14:31Just now they tear each other's hands, unreal.
01:14:34And Triple H stomping away at Jericho.
01:14:37Much to the chagrin, I would say, of Mr. McMahon's ass.
01:14:40Triple H and Hogan coexisting right now.
01:14:43I think Mr. McMahon is great, you're right.
01:14:47A knee to the face.
01:14:49And look at Angle from behind the Triple H.
01:14:51Jericho and Angle working together well as well.
01:14:55They formed the pack.
01:14:56Uh-oh.
01:14:57Yeah, there's your pack.
01:14:58Man.
01:15:02And Triple H ripping.
01:15:03Jericho up.
01:15:05And here comes Hogan.
01:15:06That's great teamwork on Angle and Jericho's, Papa.
01:15:07Hogan's a veteran.
01:15:08You know it's better than that.
01:15:09And now Triple H and Hogan getting into it.
01:15:10Yeah, I knew that was gonna help.
01:15:11Oh!
01:15:12Looks like the game needs Hogan's help now.
01:15:13But remember what Triple H told Hogan last week.
01:15:18He warned Hogan, stay out of my business.
01:15:20I do everything on my own in my career.
01:15:22I don't need your help.
01:15:23Angle, Angle, Angle!
01:15:24Angle, Angle, Angle!
01:15:25Angle, Angle!
01:15:26Angle, Angle!
01:15:27Angle, Angle, Angle!
01:15:28Angle, Angle, Angle!
01:15:29Angle, Angle, Angle, Angle, Angle!
01:15:30But remember what Triple H told Hogan last week.
01:15:32He warned Hogan, stay out of my business.
01:15:34I do everything on my own in my career.
01:15:37I don't need your help.
01:15:38Angle, Angle, Angle, Angle, Angle, Angle!
01:15:41He does not suck as a gold medalist of God's sake.
01:15:44The suplex cover, hook of the leg of the game.
01:15:47And Triple H kicks out in Kurt Angle, who believes he should be the number one contender.
01:15:51Would love to pin the champion here and prove it to everyone.
01:15:54It just takes three seconds, Cole.
01:15:56That's what I've been screaming about in here.
01:15:58Three seconds away, Hogan maybe can defeat the game at back level.
01:16:03Hogan tells us that he realizes how precious that undisputed title is,
01:16:08that this is perhaps the WWF champion.
01:16:11And Hogan wants to seize that moment Sunday.
01:16:14And look at Triple H, and there's the viciousness, the aggressiveness.
01:16:19He has named Triple H the best in the game today.
01:16:22Get a good look, Hogan.
01:16:23That's intensity by the game.
01:16:25And Jericho trying to slow down the pace of the matchup.
01:16:28The sleeper hold on the game, Triple H.
01:16:30The champion is in trouble.
01:16:32Hogan, like a caged animal, watching this matchup,
01:16:36trying to get the Hulkamaniacs behind the champion.
01:16:39Triple H now.
01:16:40Triple H probably realizes he's hurting right now, and he probably does wanna tag Hogan.
01:16:45Even though Triple H alone moves and he stands alone, he needs a little help right now.
01:16:49It's a lot of class being shown by Hogan.
01:16:51He doesn't want Triple H to lose this matchup.
01:16:54Well, I'm not doubting that.
01:16:55I didn't say Hogan wasn't a classy guy.
01:16:57And Triple H with a count, a suplex.
01:17:00Jericho's head dousing off the mat.
01:17:02Jericho makes a tag to his buddy Kurt Angle.
01:17:05And here comes Angle, Triple H the champion.
01:17:08Into that steel post for shoulder of Angle.
01:17:13Did you see that burst of steel?
01:17:14I think I heard a shoulder crack.
01:17:16Triple H needs to make a tag.
01:17:17And here comes Hogan.
01:17:23And the right hands by Hogan and Jericho.
01:17:25And now Angle again.
01:17:26Look out.
01:17:27Naganaku for Angle and Jericho.
01:17:30And out goes Y2J.
01:17:32Uh-oh, Hogan.
01:17:34Rounded into fourth for somebody at Backlash.
01:17:37And now, no!
01:17:39Look at the look game, here comes the big right-oh!
01:17:42Jericho pulling Hogan out of the ring.
01:17:44Teamwork, my man, teamwork.
01:17:46And Hogan, hear that barricade as Jericho can pull out.
01:17:51Steps, steps.
01:17:52Goes Hogan.
01:17:53Jericho, he's like a frustrated animal in there.
01:17:58He knows he got to get his hands back on that.
01:18:02Where does he go?
01:18:03He's getting a chair.
01:18:04Jericho with a steel chair in hand.
01:18:07Hogan's been laid out outside the ring.
01:18:09And there goes Timmy White.
01:18:11Jericho has completely lost it.
01:18:16And a steel chair and Triple H counter.
01:18:19DDT.
01:18:20Beautiful DDT.
01:18:21Look at Angle.
01:18:23Jericho has got Triple H's skull in a chair and Triple H counter.
01:18:27And now the right-hand to Angle.
01:18:28Triple H is doing this by himself as Hogan's down after the steel steps.
01:18:32Kick to the face.
01:18:33Oh, here it is!
01:18:34Good for Connery Cole!
01:18:36With the Connery Cole and Jericho ambushing Triple H.
01:18:40And now the members game, catching up to the champion.
01:18:43It's like a handicap match.
01:18:45The two-on-one assault.
01:18:49The vicious double team by Jericho and Angle.
01:18:52Talking about Relentless.
01:18:53And that was Jericho.
01:18:54Got a damn steel chair now.
01:18:56What's he got on his mind?
01:18:57What's he moving the chair for?
01:18:58A knuckle.
01:18:59Hey, look at Hogan.
01:19:00Hogan with a right hand.
01:19:03Hogan with a steel chair.
01:19:05And he rocks Angle.
01:19:07And Hogan.
01:19:08And a punch down.
01:19:10Hogan inadvertently knocked down his partner.
01:19:13And now the double team on Hogan by Angle and Jericho.
01:19:18Hogan off the ropes, and a big double knock down by Jericho and Angle.
01:19:22The double team continues by these two men who have formed this pack to watch each other's backs.
01:19:28And they're doing a hell of a job at Watch The Trace Back, Angle and Jericho.
01:19:32Wait a minute.
01:19:33He's running out of fear by Edge.
01:19:35You got thrown out of the building.
01:19:36What you doing here?
01:19:37Edge was thrown out of the building in your arms.
01:19:40Security.
01:19:41Edge and Angle needs to be in backlash.
01:19:43He's defending him out.
01:19:45Edge chasing Angle through the crowd.
01:19:47Jericho come around.
01:19:48No.
01:19:49Hogan.
01:19:50Jericho's in trouble.
01:19:53What you gonna do Jericho?
01:19:56What you gonna do?
01:19:57Big two bones are just connecting on Jericho.
01:20:00No.
01:20:01He's gonna hit the right job.
01:20:03And it kicks.
01:20:06And Holly, wait a minute.
01:20:08Jericho now got in trouble.
01:20:09He's gonna hit Jericho.
01:20:11No.
01:20:12My God.
01:20:14What has Triple H done?
01:20:16What he's done is he's gotten even, Cole.
01:20:18I don't think the game thinks it was an accident.
01:20:21And Hogan just clocked it with that jab.
01:20:23Check it out.
01:20:24Yeah, Hogan with a steel chair in hand.
01:20:26Kurt Angle, his obvious target in my mind.
01:20:29But Angle ducks it.
01:20:30Hogan clocks Triple H.
01:20:32Well, the retaliation by Triple H, the retaliation by the game shows Hogan that the game is that damn cool.
01:20:42But will that be good enough to stop Hulkamania from running wild Sunday at Backlash on Pay Per View?
01:20:51The end now, we're gonna pay.
01:20:52Got to pay.
01:20:53I'm gonna pay.
01:20:54Yeah, I'm gonna pay.
01:20:55I'm gonna pay.
01:20:56I'm gonna pay.
01:20:57I'm gonna pay.
