00:00Well, the time has now arrived.
00:03Who will be in the driver's seat heading to WrestleMania?
00:06Will Scott Steiner realize his dream?
00:10Or will Triple H prove once again why he is that damn good?
00:16Let me ask you a question.
00:19Who is the World Heavyweight Champion?
00:23Triple H must know in his heart that on this night he cannot beat Scott Steiner.
00:28Here I am.
00:30Triple H is using that weapon and now the referee is calling for the bail.
00:35And last night I went 30 minutes with Freakzilla.
00:41My God, Scott Steiner with a sledgehammer as a weapon.
00:45But the game is going to retain his World Heavyweight Championship via this qualification.
00:51Yeah, but Triple H has paid a price tonight that he'll never forget.
00:54And as far as I'm concerned, there ain't going to be no rematch.
00:58Well, maybe there is.
01:01I didn't come out here to talk trash.
01:03I came out here to finish what I started last night.
01:07So what I'm saying is I want my rematch and I want it right here tonight.
01:13There is nothing that I would like more than to embarrass you again.
01:21Well, the fact is I've got a note right here from my doctor.
01:25This note basically says that I've not been cleared to wrestle here tonight.
01:29I just don't believe this.
01:31But if you're looking for some competition tonight, I got my main man, Batista Man.
01:39Man, that's power.
01:41That's a lot of power.
01:42And what the hell?
01:44What is Randy Orton doing here?
01:45What is Randy Orton doing in this ring?
01:47And that's right there.
01:49Good Lord.
01:49Oh, this thing is deteriorating even further.
01:52Here comes Triple H.
01:53Wait a minute.
01:54What about the note from the doctor?
01:56I can't believe this.
01:57Randy Orton and Batista Clarence and Triple H are dismantling Scott Steiner.
02:03Now, what's this all about?
02:05Today marks the beginning of a new era.
02:08What you see in this ring before you is the greatest example of evolution you will ever see.
02:14So if you wake up one day and you're lying in a hospital bed and you're all beat up, evolution has just passed you by.
02:24Tonight, Triple H will find out who his adversary will be at No Way Out for the world's heavyweight title.
02:30Will it be Scott Steiner or will it be Chris Jericho?
02:33Oh, my gosh.
02:34Steiner with one arm.
02:35Oh!
02:36The cover.
02:38And Freakzilla is going to meet the game king for the heavyweight championship of the world.
02:45Triple H's never wanted to meet Scott Steiner again, but he will with No Way Out.
02:49How can you see to my eyes like open doors?
02:58Leading you down into my core will I become so numb.
03:09Wake me up!
03:10Wake me up inside!
03:12I can't wake up!
03:13Wake me up inside!
03:14Save me!
03:15Call my name and save me from the dust!
03:19Wake me up!
03:21This might be too rough!
03:22I can't wake up!
03:23Before I got my time!
03:25Before I got my time!
03:25Save me from the nothing I've become!
03:32Wake me up!
03:47Wake me up!
03:52Holler, if you hear me.
04:11The following contest, scheduled for one foul, is for the World Heavyweight Champion, Jack.
04:19Approaching the ring is the challenger from Detroit, Michigan, weighing 275 pounds, big up-up-up, Scott Steiner.
04:31Well, King Scott Steiner became the number one contender by defeating Chris Jericho three weeks ago.
04:36But I'll tell you what, Scott Steiner's been waiting for this night since one month ago at the Royal Rumble.
04:43And though I have a lot of fans, 16,125 people here tonight, and hundreds, look up, they can hear you, big up-up-up.
04:52Wow, look at that.
04:53It's getting muscles in places most people don't even have places.
04:57Have you ever in your life seen arms like those?
05:01Intimidating, to say the least.
05:03Few people, King.
05:04Few people get a second chance.
05:07That's exactly what Scott Steiner has earned here tonight.
05:11A match-up that the game, quite frankly, did not want to happen.
05:17Well, that was obvious that the Royal Rumble, I was there, I saw what happened.
05:21Triple H did everything.
05:22Oh, oh, oh, check it out the Devil.
05:23Ha-ha!
05:27Time to play the game!
05:29Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
05:42deterministic!
05:44Fromалось, Connecticut!
05:45Weigh 272,000!
05:48The world heavyweight champion!
05:53Triple H!
05:55The man lives for the moment.
06:03The man lives to prove himself day in and day out.
06:07And that's why he is the world heavyweight champion.
06:10And not only is he the world heavyweight champion, he's evil.
06:14I mean, he's from Vernon. He's sick, coach.
06:16And obviously, a lot of people like that kind of world around that room.
06:19As you can see here, Triple H's got a lot of fans in the house as well.
06:23And you've got to wonder, folks, as Triple H is close to 100% tonight.
06:27He's only competed a couple of times since the Royal Rumble.
06:30Watch your back. Watch your back.
06:35Yeah, honestly, you can tell by the bandage on that guy.
06:39Triple H is probably not 100% tonight, folks.
06:44I mean, an 80% Triple H can beat both men.
06:49King, I've got to ask you this.
06:51Where's the rest of Evolution tonight?
06:55The Nature Boy, Rick Flair, is here.
06:57Here's Nate.
07:01Wait a minute, Coach.
07:02What do you say?
07:03Are you saying that Triple H needs help out here tonight?
07:06No.
07:06Not about that.
07:08No.
07:08I think that's what you're trying to apply.
07:11I'll tell you you said that.
07:13All I'm saying is he's ever seen.
07:14Oh, look at that.
07:15Look, look.
07:15He is.
07:17Oh, he is awesome.
07:19Oh, uh-oh.
07:20Look out.
07:21Exuding confidence.
07:23Exuding cockiness.
07:25But why wouldn't you when you're the World Heavyweight Champion?
07:27Believe me, you don't want to get nose-to-nose with Triple H.
07:29You're definitely going to lose that battle.
07:30Well, King, you know Big Papa Pump's not going to be intimidated in the slightest.
07:35Oh, no.
07:35No way is Big Papa Pump going to be intimidated.
07:38He's here for one thing, and Earl Hebner is holding it right now.
07:41The biggest prize in the business is on the line right now, here tonight, at No Way Out.
07:48And here we go.
07:50These two men battled at the Royal Rumble.
07:53I'll tell you what, King.
07:54Big Papa Pump with a short memory.
07:56I'll just say a long memory.
07:58It was three weeks ago that Triple H left.
08:01Big Papa Pump lying in the ring.
08:03Two nights in a row.
08:04The mind game being, well, attempted right now.
08:07But you see Big Papa Pump showing those huge biceps.
08:11They don't call Triple H the cerebral assassin.
08:14He's not going to be intimidated by that.
08:16And here we go, Scott Steiner getting the early advantage on the game, Triple H.
08:19And you've got to believe that Triple H always comes into every single matchup ready to go physically,
08:25always in tremendous shape, but so is Scott Steiner.
08:28Well, see, Triple H is, if you ask me, he's up to the wrong type of start right here
08:33because I don't know if anybody can beat Scott Steiner in a power match.
08:36This is what Triple H has to do right here.
08:38He has to brawl with this man.
08:41Well, now both men attempting to throw each other out.
08:43And you can see Scott Steiner attacking that right here in the right way.
08:46Sure.
08:47When you wear that out there, when you wear a brace or when you ever wear your tape dump
08:51or any kind of vandal, you might as well paint a big car.
08:55Well, you know, King, Triple H has made no way out.
08:57A personal playground of sorts for him.
08:59Always bringing his A game on the road to WrestleMania.
09:01You remember, oh, wow, he can't take a shot to that left leg of the game.
09:05It's Scott Steiner.
09:06Very, very smart strategy to start this matchup.
09:09Oh, and now the game, though, and these, both of these men have come focused here tonight.
09:15Look at these fans.
09:17I told you, some Triple H fans in the house.
09:20You'll remember back in 2000, King ending the career, no way out.
09:23Triple H ending the career of Mick Foley and the brutal photo show matchup.
09:27These people, a lot of game day players here tonight.
09:29That didn't work.
09:30Oh.
09:30This crowd has been at an electric pitch to the beginning of the night.
09:36Here's the first cut.
09:37Oh, look at this.
09:39Now, that made me a mistake.
09:41Well, I mentioned Triple H exudes cockiness, but so does the game.
09:44So does Big Pop-A-Pump.
09:45Well, that could come back to home.
09:46Big Pop-A-Pump if you ask me.
09:49Now, what, wait a minute.
09:50And now, Scott Steiner looking to rip off that bandage on the left leg of the game.
09:55You know what?
09:56That right there, that's illegal.
09:58Why is that illegal?
09:59There's nothing wrong with the man covering an injury.
10:05And now, Scott Steiner's trying to rip it off of him.
10:07Well, you're the one who's been saying all night anything worth winning is worth cheating for.
10:10That's illegal, and that's worth doing for you.
10:12Want to think?
10:12Well, I'm just saying that the referee needs to at least give Scott Steiner some sort of warning here.
10:16Look at this.
10:17Well, Steiner continues to work on the left leg of the game.
10:21And I tell you, I've got to give to Scott Steiner, at least early on, smart, smart strategy.
10:26And now, bending that left leg and the left leg.
10:29Ankle all at the same time.
10:31No, legs aren't supposed to be bent that way.
10:33He's got that left leg torqued in there.
10:36This is what, there you go.
10:37There's what Triple H is going to have to resort to.
10:40Now, Triple H, you can see how much that left leg is really affecting the game right now.
10:44And we wondered if he was 100%.
10:45I've got to say right now, I don't think so.
10:47Oh, and again, Scott Steiner continues to attack that left thigh.
10:52Triple H might have been 100% coming in, but you're right, he's certainly not now.
10:57Okay, you know as well as I do and all the fans around the world how much Triple H lives for the moment of WrestleMania.
11:03If Scott Steiner can become the new world heavyweight champion tonight.
11:06Oh, listen to this.
11:07Look at this.
11:07Look at this.
11:07Oh.
11:09What will this do to the psyche of the game of evolution for that matter?
11:16Well, now Scott Steiner.
11:19Oh, he's doing.
11:21Oh.
11:21He's rubbing it in.
11:23Oh.
11:23He's rubbing it in.
11:24Taking a peg down a third.
11:25But big care of four.
11:26Locked in.
11:27Triple H.
11:28What a way this would be the little world title.
11:31Using the same move, the 16-time world champion has moved used thousands of times.
11:36I don't think Nick Chiboy is going to allow that to happen.
11:38I told you when I said it was.
11:39Oh, yellow rick to the eye by Ric Flair.
11:41And now Flair styles and profiles on.
11:44The high school referees back in.
11:46Again, I mentioned, what kind of role Ric Flair in the 30th player's back.
11:50Well, now Scott Steiner's not going to play with that, not even for a shot.
11:53Steiner, easy.
11:54That's probably about a $5,000 money suit.
11:57He doesn't care.
11:57You think he cares?
11:58Oh, and that big shot to the head of Ric Flair.
12:00And Scott Steiner taking out that frustration that he's been waiting to do a long, long time.
12:07But it's given the game a chance to recover.
12:09At least for the moment, Natalie Scott Steiner and his face is planted on those steel steps.
12:14Pounced his head right off those steel steps.
12:17And you're right.
12:18That's going to give Triple H just some precious time to recuperate.
12:21But, King, look at the game in the ring.
12:23The game can hardly stand up at this point.
12:26And that leg, he's attempting to...
12:28I'm sure the muscles in that leg are knotted up now.
12:31He's got to be killing Triple H.
12:33And he's got to realize, he can't give up.
12:35He can't stop the World Championship.
12:37Well, King, the crowd continues to chant.
12:42What are they chanting?
12:43Well, I don't know what they're chanting.
12:45They're going to not repeat.
12:47They're chanting, you screwed that, Earl Hebner.
12:50Look at this.
12:51I didn't forgive.
12:52Look at Ric Flair again.
12:53You're right.
12:54He doesn't care about a $5,000 money suit.
12:56As Triple H distracts Earl Hebner.
12:58He's got a closet full of those suits.
13:01Well, now Big Pocky comes, thanks to Ric Flair, has been...
13:04Oh, look at...
13:04Oh, man.
13:06And the impact, the side of the head and the back.
13:08Oh, Scott Steiner into those steel steps.
13:11Let's go, Scott.
13:13And now Triple H, who...
13:14is attempting to do something almost on one and a half legs at this point.
13:21What's this?
13:22One more time.
13:23Listen, listen.
13:23Oh, ow!
13:25So hard into those steel steps.
13:27That's your first neckbreaker by the game.
13:29Let's stall against steel steps.
13:30Here's a cover.
13:31Hook to the leg.
13:31One, two.
13:32And Big Pocky pump is able to get the shoulder up.
13:36Well, you know, Big Pocky pump has been waiting for this for a long, long time.
13:40And former WCW champion.
13:41But, team, I think the game is showing right now.
13:46He's been willing to do whatever it takes to be champion, to become champion, and to stay champion.
13:51Triple H is hobbled.
13:54And now Triple H, big right hand in the head of Scott Steiner.
14:00And now Scott Steiner, you can see, is really starting to feel the effects.
14:04And now he's trading punches with Triple H.
14:06The World Heavyweight title is on the line in this matchup.
14:10Nice neckbreaker again by the game.
14:12Will this be enough on Scott Steiner?
14:13One, two, and another near pinfall for Triple H.
14:16I've been around a lot of champions in my day, Coach.
14:19But I've never seen a man, I've never seen a champion who the championship needs more to than Triple H.
14:26Well, obviously he eats his life.
14:27It is his life.
14:28He eats his business.
14:29He frees his business.
14:31He eats his business.
14:32Yeah, he absolutely is.
14:34But that's why he's so good.
14:35That's why he's so great.
14:37I'll just go ahead and say.
14:39And now Triple H attempting to stay on both of those two feet.
14:42Keep in mind, that left leg has taken a beating and came into this matchup not even close to 100%.
14:48Wow, Triple H into those ropes.
14:52It's nice to end.
14:54Telegraphing that one way too much time.
14:55And now Steiner can't go.
14:57Nice belly to belly.
14:58Big public pull.
14:59And Ric Flair, the nature boy on the outside, very, very concerned for his partner in crime, the game.
15:08These game day players here in Montreal don't like that.
15:10They don't like Triple H being abused by Big Cup and Puff.
15:14Oh, Freakzilla chopping him up, pounding him down.
15:17Well, Triple H has been quoted as saying that evolution is a way of life.
15:28Oh, wait a second.
15:29Now using that middle rope.
15:30Hey, hey, hey.
15:31Come on, hold up.
15:32Oh, boy.
15:40Oh, boy.
15:40Well, that's just good officiating in the game.
15:42Whoa, whoa, whoa.
15:43I'm not going to.
15:45You're not right.
15:47You're not right.
15:48You're not right.
15:49I'm not going to.
15:51You're not right.
15:53You're not right.
15:54You're not right.
15:54You're not right.
15:55I'm trying to get disqualified!
15:57I think you're right, but Earl Havner said you have to defeat him, I'm not going to disqualify!
16:05Well, I'll tell you what, maybe the game's idea heading into this matchup just backfired a lot.
16:13Earl Havner saying he's not going to disqualify Triple H, he's got to defeat Big Papa Pump in the middle of that ring.
16:19And now Big Papa Pump was given a chance to recover and now taking advantage of it on Triple H.
16:25Blake's trying to take the easy way out, he knows that a disqualification, well they'd give Frickzilla the win, but Frickzilla wouldn't be the champion.
16:35Oh and now, big knee to the midsection of the game.
16:38Bell in, to Bell in, here's a cover by Scott Steiner, 1, 2, and the game is able to kick out again.
16:45And right now you can see, King, how much they have taken out of each other.
16:51Both Triple H and Scott Steiner.
16:53Well these are big, powerful men, these aren't Jeff Hardys that can fly around the ring.
16:57These are huge, muscular athletes.
17:00And Scott Steiner, trying to, to whip Triple H into the corner, not going at first, and now reverses, and now Triple H, oh!
17:08Nails a ring barrier, and Big Papa Pump taking advantage.
17:12Like I said, these guys are, these guys aren't cruiserweights, so now this ain't SmackDown, look at Nate!
17:17Look at Nate!
17:18Always waiting to stick his nose, quite frankly where it doesn't belong.
17:22And now Big Papa Pumping all the way into that ring pose.
17:25Did you hear that though? The entire ring shook.
17:27And now Scott Steiner.
17:30This may be the opportunity Steiner really needs right here.
17:34World Heavyweight title on the line in this matchup.
17:39Who goes to Wrestlemania in the driver's seat?
17:44The granddaddy of them all.
17:46Who goes to World Heavyweight Champion, there's no better place to be.
17:49Here's a cover.
17:50Big hook of the leg Owen.
17:52Nearly a pinfall.
17:54We almost had a new World Heavyweight Champion in Big Papa Pump.
17:59Okay.
18:01I tell you what, right now, fans all over the world, over 34 countries watching us live.
18:06They're waiting to see who their champion is going to be.
18:08This is the World Champion that's going to be this time again.
18:11And now, very precarious position is Big Papa Pump.
18:15You've got to be kidding me.
18:17Oh, this could be over.
18:18If he nails this, this one could be over.
18:20Oh.
18:21He nailed it.
18:22And the impact.
18:23And Triple H is laid out in the middle of the ring.
18:25Look at me.
18:26Will this be an O?
18:27One, two, oh, Ric Flair, the nature boy.
18:30Is there a more valuable man in your corner than Ric Flair?
18:35That's a good point.
18:36We nearly had a new World Heavyweight Champion.
18:39If it wasn't for Ric Flair, we may have had a new World Heavyweight Champion.
18:43Go!
18:44The Phantom in Egypt, in Algeria, Syria.
18:48The Steiner recliner, but what is Ric Flair doing?
18:51He's coming in the reserves.
18:52Oh, here comes Randy Orton.
18:53Young Randy Orton is now down.
18:54Oh!
18:55Scott Steiner says, hello, Randy Orton.
18:56Oh, no.
18:57Here comes some more trouble.
18:58Here comes more.
18:59Oh, Bevelucin is here now.
19:01And Big Batista.
19:02Look out by Big Palma Pong into those still steps.
19:04Now Big Palma Pong nails Ric Flair.
19:06But now Triple H, plenty of time to recover, setting up for the Pedigree.
19:08But Scott Steiner able to get out.
19:09And a big clothesline over the top rope.
19:10And now Randy Orton is at the top.
19:11What is he doing?
19:12They are everywhere.
19:13It seems like there's like eight members of Evolution.
19:14Look at the referee.
19:15Oh, no.
19:16Oh, no.
19:17Oh, no.
19:18Oh, no.
19:19Oh, no.
19:20Oh, no.
19:21Oh, no.
19:22Oh, no.
19:23Oh, no.
19:24Oh, no.
19:25Oh, no.
19:26Oh, no.
19:27Oh, no.
19:28Oh, no.
19:29Oh, no.
19:30Oh, no.
19:31Oh, no.
19:32Oh, no.
19:33Oh, no.
19:34It's like a mistake right here.
19:35She has, like, eight away, down to Tanner and Owen.
19:36It seems like there's like eight members of Evolution.
19:37Look at the referee.
19:38Oh, Herrios, he's letting it go.
19:39He's letting anything fly here tonight.
19:41And now Scott Steiner nearly working Wow oh, this is Randy Orton,
19:47right over on the top of the Catinta like.
19:51Man, Randy Orton is not showing herしました.
19:52Okay, what's Devin doing?
19:54What's Ember doing?
19:55Well, Ember's trying to get such a semblance of order in the smow.
19:58I think he's telling these guys they're being ejected.
20:01I think he is ejecting Ric Flair.
20:03No, not Nage.
20:04Just Batista and Orton.
20:06Now he's got to get him.
20:07Oh!
20:09Triple A's just nailed big pop-up pump
20:11with that World Heavyweight title.
20:14As referee Earl Hebner is tossing out Evolution.
20:17Looks like that may be as close as Steiner ever gets to the World Cup.
20:19Is that going to be enough?
20:20Not this way.
20:21No, watch.
20:22Oh!
20:23What?
20:24Somehow.
20:26Scott Steiner, despite.
20:28Look at the game.
20:29Look at that.
20:30I didn't believe on his identity.
20:32I think all their plans at this point
20:35have been blown up in their face, King.
20:37We've got a plan.
20:38Well, they've already gone to plan B and C.
20:40What about D?
20:41Oh, the pedigree.
20:42Oh, the pedigree.
20:43Because he's got a B.
20:44He nailed the pedigree.
20:45Will it be enough?
20:47He remains.
20:48Yes!
20:49Yes!
20:50Triple A's still the World Heavyweight Champion.
20:53The winner of this title is still World Heavyweight Champion.
20:57Ripple A's still the World Heavyweight Champion.
21:00Well, they said it couldn't be done.
21:04Steiner proved it.
21:06Well, King, I'm going to go ahead and say that Steiner was working against Bob's and even
21:11he couldn't overcome.
21:12But I tell you what, Evolution is tough as well.
21:19Evolution.
21:19I call them Evolution.
21:20But whatever, whether they're evil or not, they're getting the job done, aren't they?
21:25Now driving the car to Wrestlemania.
21:32Easily in the driver's seat.
21:33The game's still the World Heavyweight Champion.
21:36But he had everything he wanted and did some here tonight.
21:43It took everything that Evolution had.
21:46He has everything he wanted.
