00:00Rusev
00:16Introducing first, from Bulgaria,
00:21weighted for 270 pounds,
00:25Rusev!
00:28Are you okay?
00:30My cough button stopped working.
00:31Obviously.
00:32Genuinely.
00:33That was one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard.
00:35Well, it got banged up by Roman Reigns' body a little earlier, so apologies everyone.
00:38Oh, Rusev, he's got his battle face on here tonight.
00:42You know, Seamus is a winning record in these Donnybrook matches.
00:45I think Rusev may be at a disadvantage.
00:47Well, Seamus may have the experience in this kind of match,
00:51but Rusev is a die-hard fan of his local footy team.
00:55Locomotive blocked him, and he spent many nights brawling around the pubs of Europe
00:59against the best hooligans this continent can offer.
01:03And we're getting a fight tonight.
01:05Talking of fights, however, look who's here!
01:08It is Morgan, the last pirate, Charrière!
01:12He's a featherweight UFC fighter out of Poissy France.
01:16Charrière coming off a technical KO victory over Nate Landwehr just weeks ago on UFC Fight Night.
01:23Great to have him here to watch this one that is gonna be a banger!
01:27He's looking mean, focused, and ready for war!
01:42Guess what, Wade?
01:44It's Fight Night!
01:50BABY!
01:52BABY!
01:54I'm just busting my ears for it!
01:56He's letting it cough!
01:57His opponent, Brent Dublin, Ireland, weighing in at 267 pounds,
02:11Green Reds!
02:18This is gonna be a banger!
02:23For the fifth time ever, a good old-fashioned Donnybrook match.
02:27And the first one in almost a year here in WWE.
02:31And that shillelagh that Sheamus is carrying, hey, that's legal under these rules.
02:36Well, the referee's taking it off and it has to be away from Sheamus at least for the bell to ring.
02:41And we've got two men intensely staring each other down for the faction mates in the dreadful League of Nations.
02:49Yeah, two men that kicked you out of the League of Nations.
02:52Best thing that ever happened to me, trust me.
02:56Two alpha balls who do not like the sight of each other.
03:00They're throwing down in Paris!
03:02Yeah, Sheamus the only superstar to have pinned Rusev since Rusev returned to WWE.
03:09Rusev holds the career lead in matches between these two,
03:13but this really is the rubber match of the recent rivalry.
03:17Look at Sheamus now, pound and round!
03:19Oh God, the way we started off here, this may be one of the shortest matches in history.
03:24Immediately hitting tens against each other, potato after potato.
03:29Sheamus and Rusev battled each other for the better part of a decade here in WWE.
03:36I'll tell you right now, we teamed up at WrestleMania in 2016 against The New Day.
03:41I had to break up a fight in the gorilla position before we went out between Sheamus and Rusev.
03:48That was before the match even started.
03:50There was a lot of bitterness between these two about the way Sheamus was running the League of Nations,
03:55and that bitterness has never left Rusev.
03:58These men battled the United States Championship at one point in their career,
04:05and now this is just about beating the hell out of each other.
04:09Who's the bigger man? This is personal!
04:11Tommy, you know coming into this one, you're getting the hell beaten out of you.
04:15You're gonna beat the hell out of your opponent.
04:17The question is, who can take more abuse?
04:21Both can dish it out, we know that.
04:23But somebody's crumbling tonight.
04:25Two of the toughest men on the planet.
04:27Kidney shot by Sheamus and now blows to the midsection, knee by Rusev.
04:34Now Rusev looking to suplex Sheamus into the tables.
04:38Sheamus able to counter and deliver a suplex of his own.
04:42As Sheamus' boots turn to lead whenever he wants to.
04:46Trust me, he's kicked me with him enough times with those heavy boots as Sheamus came in handy there.
04:51Rusev just didn't have the power to lift a big Irishman.
04:55Now Rusev driven into the barricade by Sheamus.
04:59The Celtic warrior, a four-time world champion.
05:03Has a Hall of Fame resume with the United States titles and tag team titles.
05:10A rumble victory, money in the bank, once king of the ring.
05:14It is astounding that Sheamus has had over 15 years at the very top of this game.
05:19His fighting style has not changed with age.
05:22Usually you slow down a little.
05:24You have to amend when you're fighting old father time.
05:27Oh!
05:28Kendo stick by Rusev.
05:30Oh, Rusev completely sucking in Sheamus there.
05:32Sheamus with that shillelagh.
05:33He thought he was getting a cheap shot in, but no denied.
05:35Oh, Rusev.
05:36Look at the kendo stick like a baseball bat.
05:41These are those game-changing moments.
05:47Who gets the big shots in first in a match like this?
05:51And now Rusev fresh as a daisy.
05:54Sheamus looks like he's been hit by a Mack truck.
05:57And now Rusev with Sheamus in position here on the apron.
06:03Usually Sheamus will use this for the 10 beats of the modern.
06:07Rusev goes for the eyeballs there.
06:09Perfectly legal in this match.
06:11And Rusev delivering Sheamus' own move to him.
06:14Rusev!
06:15Rusev!
06:16Rusev!
06:17Rusev!
06:18Rusev!
06:19Rusev!
06:20Rusev!
06:21Like the thug of a bass drum.
06:23How's your diaphragm now, Sheamus?
06:26Sheamus has welds building all over his body.
06:30How can a human being take as much punishment as Sheamus had like this over 15, 20 years?
06:36Yeah, the cumulative punishment every match Sheamus has is a war.
06:40It doesn't matter who he's taking on.
06:42You have to bring your heaviest artillery with this man.
06:46There's no light days in there.
06:48No light work with Sheamus.
06:49Rusev exposing the turnbuckle.
06:52Sheamus went for the Irish curse backbreaker.
06:54And now, oh, he delivers one there.
06:56Rusev knew just how dangerous that was.
06:59Scrambled out the first time.
07:00Sheamus was not letting him get away that easy.
07:03Yeah, these men know each other so well.
07:05Know how to counter each other's offense.
07:09They've been hit with everything their opponent can throw at them over the years.
07:13And now it's Sheamus' turn to use the kendo stick as a weapon.
07:26Oh, and Sheamus plowing through Rusev.
07:29Smashing in the Adam's apple of the Bulgarian.
07:35And I'll tell you right now, all European wrestlers, when we come back to this continent,
07:40no matter who you're fighting, you raise your gain.
07:43You want to put on a good showing, you feel like this is our territory.
07:47Both these European men do not want to give a quarter this evening.
07:51Sheamus has welts all over his body and it hasn't slowed him down.
07:54He spent an entire career with welts all over his body.
07:57It just makes him even tougher.
07:59It makes him fight harder.
08:00It fires him up.
08:01It wakes him up.
08:02It's terrifying.
08:03Not quite sure how many chairs Sheamus needs, but that's a trio there.
08:09Locking up something menacing here.
08:13One with a chair and missed.
08:17Rusev now caught him with a heel kick and the chair bouncing off the face of Sheamus.
08:22Covered by Rusev.
08:23Remember, you can only win via pinfall or submission.
08:26And that right there we just witnessed is a major edge that Rusev has over almost every heavyweight out there.
08:33The virtue of his sudden explosive movements that make all of the heavyweights look slow in comparison.
08:40Rusev has that.
08:41The sudden impact of Rusev and then the impact of the steel chair of the spine of Sheamus.
08:48And now to the midsection.
08:50That explosive movement that opens up the doorway for this.
09:00Maximum brutality.
09:05Rusev thrives off chaos.
09:10I'll tell you right now.
09:11You mentioned earlier you felt like this started because Sheamus was being,
09:15excuse me, Rusev was being something of a bully to the Alpha Academy.
09:19I'll argue that Sheamus, his style has to be a bully his entire career.
09:25And bullies don't like other bullies.
09:27That's the real hatred between these two.
09:32Sheamus just, he's begging for Rusev to assault him.
09:36Told you the harder you hit him.
09:38The tougher he gets.
09:42This is nightmare fuel for any opponent of Sheamus.
09:48And Sheamus intercepts the chair.
09:56And Rusev with a kick to the midsection.
09:58So you won, you don't dare lose.
09:59Oh, that bloody knee right off the jaw.
10:02Knee to the dome.
10:03Is it enough kickouts?
10:05And there's no one home for Rusev right now.
10:08Glassy Iden.
10:09If Sheamus could drop the hammer here, he's got this one.
10:15Impact!
10:16And how quickly Sheamus turns it around and absorbs that punishment.
10:26Shrugs it off.
10:27Can Rusev do the same?
10:28Now Sheamus gonna put Rusev in position.
10:33For the original 10 beats to the modern.
10:37Just listen.
10:41And Rusev collapsing to the apron.
10:48and rusev collapsing to the apron yeah you say listen i could feel the vibrations buzzing through
10:55the arena on that one you felt that before haven't you i have indeed once too many times and now
11:01sat by you and now oh sheamus up over the bar getting crushed by the bar on the other side
11:11sheamus slumped over a few bars in my time i'm sure that one was a bit more painful than normal
11:18and rusev wanted to use the bar stool and sheamus able to thwart that
11:28unique position for the boundary
11:40i just got chills i don't see any beers in this bottle that's my main issue sheamus looks like
11:47he's built up a bit of a first someone pour him a pint of the black stuff
11:53and rusev now rusev trying to escape through the arena there's no count outs in this match
11:59which is technically it can go wherever it wants and sheamus with a shillelagh
12:04that has to be the most devastating beats of the bottom we have ever seen
12:14rusev just collapsing to the floor and now sheamus dragging him back into the
12:34ringside area well rusev is a beaten man at this point of course pinfall submissions have to take place in the ring
12:41which is why sheamus didn't effectively win the match right there and then but it looks like victory is imminent
12:52and sheamus lifting rusev up on his shoulders he was going for white noise rusev able to avoid that
12:59now driven into the chair that rusev set up balling on his own sword and sheamus looking to put the finishing touches to this masterpiece
13:09sheamus with the celtic cross
13:12is it enough and the donny brook match continues wow such a devastating landing
13:23sheamus will not like the sound of that after that high cross landing on the neck of rusev but we
13:39know what's coming next michael cole
13:43fanning off the 30 000 plus in paris
13:53the pro kick and rusev scooted out of harm's way absolute brilliance from rusev just when you
14:08think his wits have left him after that beating him what the hell are you doing here sheamus you're
14:12not a cruiserweight don't tell him that sheamus top rope and rusev oh that was a critical mistake
14:22by sheamus rusev had the wherewithal to move out of the way grab the kendo and deliver it to the mid
14:27section of sheamus just got babe roof right to the midsection it's getting even worse now for the
14:34celtic warrior who had victory within his clutches oh wait you called it out sheamus doesn't often go to
14:42the top rope sometimes you get a little excited you know you've got to do something drastic to put away
14:48an opponent like rusev as tough as this big bulgaria and now this broke they're slamming the steps off
14:55the face of sheamus who collapses to the to the floor sheamus stepped out of his comfort zone and
15:02rusev was ready there to make him pay for the mistake now the bar apparently is back in play
15:10watch those things way i pay guys to move now now rusev separating the steps he's separating
15:26shivers his head from his shoulders the way this is looking how do you cook it up rusev anything he
15:31wants rusev nasty stuff and that could be last call for sheamus oh my god the back of sheamus's
15:46head catching the edge of that bar that simply did not break that could be a ko to sheamus effectively
15:53a rabbit punch from that bomb yeah but remember the pinfall of submission must take place wade inside
15:59the ring which feels pretty much academic now sling that big irishman in the ring cover him it's game
16:05over and rusev now into the ring in control kick to the back and you know what this means
16:15rusev in the accolade the submission move locked into sheamus james the man i have felt is incapable of
16:24tapping out at times but the pain may be overwhelming the spirit at this point and
16:29this is how rusev beat sheamus for the united states championship 11 years ago with the accolade
16:35with sheamus not going to give up yet back to his feet rusev in trouble now onto the steel chairs and
16:42you saw sheamus despite the obvious agony and exhaustion just with a glance from the corner of his eye
16:50spot that steel chair sitting there and thought hey yeah rusev screw you
16:55the wwe fans here in paris showing their appreciation for what these two men are putting themselves
17:09through here tonight well we knew what we were getting didn't recall and they they put these two
17:13together in this kind of matchup maximum agony hey we invite all pleasure we invited sheamus out for a beer
17:20last night he said he couldn't come because he had to be 100 for this yeah that's the first time
17:25sheamus has ever turned down a night out that shows you how much this means to sheamus it shows you how
17:31seriously he takes the threat of rusev as they clamber near those old-fashioned out of their beer barrels or
17:38wine barrels or whiskey barrels but who cares
17:40oh sheamus as he was trying to drag rusev up on the top of those whiskey barrels
17:55and rusev now rusev is gonna oh what an iconic moment he's gonna lock the accolade in on top of the
18:04whiskey barrels but remember even if sheamus taps out or it doesn't matter because the submission has
18:10to take place inside the ring cannot win a match there but sheamus may well have his back broken
18:17and then it really is game over
18:20sheamus trying once again to find his way out of the accolade
18:24barrels wobbling all over the place and combined amount of probably 550 plus pounds between those two
18:31probably some a good single malt in there and now sheamus rusev looking to do damage
18:39sheamus fighting back here sheamus with the with the elbows somebody oh my goodness
18:48the whiskey barrels don't show this what are you thinking about
18:54white lies through the tables off the whiskey barrels
19:01this is the damnedest bar fight i've ever witnessed oh my god from that height the body of rusev
19:16smashed through two tables with a white noise and even sheamus came a cropper in that one and the
19:22the referee taking a very close look yeah jessica carr i just trying to see if both of these men can
19:28continue as you know
19:33this is awesome indeed providing you're not one of these two competitors i promise you right now our
19:39doctor is in sprint position ready to come down and check on these two yeah it's awesome if you're a
19:44masochist how the hell is rusev getting up after taking that how's he at first i have no idea i mean
19:51rusev was driven through the tables off light noise from the top of those barrels dragging himself back
19:56into the ring the absolute brew of a man and close behind him is sheamus i cannot imagine how these two
20:04are gonna feel tomorrow rolling out of bed money the crane to get them out of there but we still need a winner
20:11rusev look at he's crawling toward the corner and that's where that shillelagh is
20:19sheamus is just crawling to a corner to try and pull himself up right the legs aren't working
20:24anymore rusev with a shillelagh in hand
20:31looking when these two men have put themselves through they can barely stand
20:35the holder of rusev is completely contorted i fear he may have separated that at some point in the
20:40matchup and now james with a brogue kick a brogue from out of nowhere and a kick out by rusev how the hell
20:49do you kick out the brain of rusev just rattled from one of the hardest bro kicks i have ever seen the lights are on but no one's home
20:59take another look at this impact from the bro kick
21:04bang i have never seen the heel connect with the temple quite as properly as that okay
21:12how the hell rusev kicked out there's a question that will never be answered okay explain to me this
21:17how the hell rusev kick out of that it's the question that can't be answered cole it's not human it's not
21:23mortal what the hell is driving this bulgarian brute sheamus trying to drag himself back to his feet
21:30again perhaps to look for yet another bro kick rusev look at rusev trying to pull himself up as well
21:38rusev is completely defenseless here we go and rusev with a magmaska kick and sheamus with a knee
21:44just embers burning in both men at this point here and up over the top rusev sends him flying with a
21:54half a back body drop and a magma kick to the face sheamus in the corner look at the collapse center of
22:00the ring james on complete jelly legs kicked in the throat can't breathe and wait up and the
22:06slaly broken across the back of sheamus and now the cover by rusev and sheamus kicked out
22:23rusev just shattered the slaly across the spine of sheamus and sheamus somehow kicked out these two
22:30are simply not human they're not from this planet driven by blind hatred to do so by human things
22:42and now going to use the slaly as he locks sheamus in the accolade and now the slaly placed into the
22:48mouth of sheamus sheamus trying to fight back somehow but rusev coiling those legs like a constrictor
22:55around the waist of sheamus and sheamus is about to tap out here is your winner by submission rusev
23:11wade i believe that was that was just i think just the second time in the career of sheamus that he is
23:20tapped out tapped out not passed out tapped out in a match and it took the accolade with a shillelagh
23:27shoved in his mouth to do it and about 50 other massive impacts to sheamus's body in the process
23:36what a water kisses the white noise off those wine whiskey barrels through two tables both that somehow
23:42got it the hardest bro kick you'll ever see but rusev instinctively equal to it and that's how this one
23:50stayed alive and this was the closing moment shillelagh broken across the spine of sheamus the most unique
