00:01:29The European champion Eddie Guerrero, the ninth wonder of the world,
00:01:37China, heading for a major day, Sunday at Fast Slash.
00:01:43Oh, Latino heat!
00:01:44Look at that, Mamacita!
00:01:45Okay, Sunday, a big day for this couple.
00:01:50It's Eddie's prom.
00:01:51You know, he just passed his GED, and on Raw, Eddie and China were trying to find the perfect
00:01:56outfits for the prom.
00:01:57Yeah, and look at that first one he tried.
00:01:58I did not front of the loom make tuxedos.
00:02:00Mamacita wanted to call the fashion police.
00:02:03That wasn't gonna work.
00:02:04But then Eddie got it right, but Mamacita could decide what gown she was gonna wear.
00:02:09Look at, Eddie.
00:02:10How can you believe those tuxedos?
00:02:12Yeah, but check this out, King.
00:02:13That is the dress that the gal that China's gonna wear to the prom on Sunday.
00:02:18I guarantee you, they're gonna be voted cutest couple in the prom.
00:02:22Mamacita!
00:02:23So on Sunday, it's the prom and backlash for Eddie Guerrero and China.
00:02:28The following tag team contest is scheduled for one song.
00:02:41First, from Los Angeles Nevada, weighing in at 244 pounds, Valvina.
00:02:48Valvina, Eddie Guerrero, tremendous one-on-one matchup this past Monday night on Raw Gang.
00:02:53I think when Valvina went to his senior prom, he took the entire cheerleading squad.
00:02:57Woo-hoo!
00:02:58It's gonna be a wild night Sunday night at Backlash on Pay-Per-View.
00:03:02Eddie Guerrero will take on this man, Este Rios.
00:03:05Being accompanied by Lita, from Guadalajara, Mexico, weighing in at 217 pounds, Este Rios.
00:03:14Well, on Raw, as we mentioned, it was Valvina against Eddie Guerrero.
00:03:17But Lita and Este Rios got involved.
00:03:20Oh, I couldn't believe it.
00:03:22Mamacita pretty much handled the both until this.
00:03:25Oh!
00:03:26Oh!
00:03:27Lita with a flying crossbody, allowing China to be distracted.
00:03:31And Valvina is picking up the win over Eddie Guerrero.
00:03:34Oh!
00:03:35And then Mamacita, she really wanted to get her hands on Lita.
00:03:39She still wants her.
00:03:40I'll tell you, Lita wants no part of China King as she stands behind her partner, Este Rios,
00:03:45in box, the ninth winner of the world.
00:03:48So tag team action to kick us off on SmackDown.
00:03:51Valvina is teaming with Este Rios against Eddie Guerrero and Chyna.
00:03:55Oh-ho!
00:03:56Chyna in tag team action is gonna be great!
00:03:58And Eddie Guerrero with the right hand, going to work on Valvina.
00:04:01Este Rios on Eddie Guerrero and Chyna.
00:04:03And Chyna immediately going for Lita.
00:04:06I think Val may have been going for Chyna there.
00:04:09He's trying to warm up to Chyna, but he got cooled off quickly.
00:04:11European title will be on the line Sunday at Backlash.
00:04:14Eddie Guerrero versus Este Rios.
00:04:16But what an explosive night we're expecting here tonight on SmackDown, King.
00:04:20The Rock's expected to be here.
00:04:22The McMahon-Helmsley regime expected to be here as well.
00:04:25I know the McMahon-Helmsley regime will be here in full force.
00:04:28Look at the, speaking of force, look at the power of Valvina.
00:04:31Eddie Guerrero dropped center of the ring by Valvina.
00:04:34Three days away from Backlash.
00:04:37What do you think the McMahon-Helmsley regime's gonna have in store for people here on SmackDown this evening?
00:04:41Especially the people's champ, The Rock.
00:04:43It's gonna be big.
00:04:44It's gonna be probably one of the greatest SmackDowns ever.
00:04:46Oh my gosh!
00:04:47Kick to the back of the head, Eddie Guerrero knocking Valvina's down.
00:04:50And the European Champion in control right now in this tag team matchup.
00:04:54Latino Heat!
00:04:56What?
00:04:57Crowd getting all over Eddie Guerrero.
00:05:00And look at Valvina's pulling Eddie Guerrero back and dropping him.
00:05:03Center of the ring.
00:05:04First cover of the matchup.
00:05:05There's one, two.
00:05:06And Chyna breaks up the three count.
00:05:08These people should show a little more respect for Eddie Guerrero.
00:05:10I mean, he worked hard.
00:05:11He just got his GED a major accomplishment in his life.
00:05:14He's highly educated now.
00:05:16Look at this.
00:05:17Good slam into the knee by Eddie Guerrero.
00:05:19And Eddie makes the tag to his partner and his malasita, Chyna.
00:05:24Uh-oh!
00:05:25Dropped toehold by Valvina's.
00:05:27That's one dance move she won't be doing at the prom.
00:05:30Look at that!
00:05:31Dropped toehold by Chyna.
00:05:32Nice footwork by Chyna.
00:05:36Thinking of proms.
00:05:37Did you have a date for the prom?
00:05:38Of course I did.
00:05:39Yeah.
00:05:40Somebody called Ripley's.
00:05:41You asked JR that Monday night.
00:05:42Get some new material.
00:05:43What do you mean?
00:05:44He didn't have a date.
00:05:45Tagged Eddie Guerrero.
00:05:47Swam S.A. Rios.
00:05:49And look out.
00:05:50European Champion.
00:05:51What a maneuver by Eddie Guerrero over the top rope into the midsection.
00:05:55That's Latino Heat!
00:05:56Of S.A. Rios.
00:05:58Think about the night that Eddie Guerrero and Chyna are gonna have Sunday King.
00:06:01The prom.
00:06:02Backlash.
00:06:03I don't see how they're gonna fit it all in.
00:06:05Oh!
00:06:06S.A. whipped into the corner.
00:06:07Eddie Guerrero follows it up with a forearm.
00:06:09And I wanted to tell you, by the way, the prom, it's not on pay-per-view.
00:06:13Just Backlash.
00:06:14Look at this!
00:06:15Oh, man!
00:06:16That's why she's the ninth wonder of the world!
00:06:18Chyna into S.A. Rios in the corner.
00:06:21And Eddie Guerrero looking to capitalize, and he does.
00:06:24Dropping S.A. Rios on the back of his head.
00:06:27Covered by Eddie Guerrero.
00:06:28There's two.
00:06:29And S.A. Rios gets the shoulder up.
00:06:31Have you ever been to a Spanish prom?
00:06:33No, I haven't.
00:06:34Oh, man.
00:06:35It's an El Grande Pachanga.
00:06:37What does that mean?
00:06:39Oh, it's a big party!
00:06:40Okay.
00:06:41Big party!
00:06:42S.A. misses right hand.
00:06:43Eddie Guerrero.
00:06:44All kind of stuff.
00:06:45Boom!
00:06:46S.A. Rios, tremendous athlete, lands on his feet both times, and now with the right hands,
00:06:50Eddie Guerrero.
00:06:51A lot of margaritas.
00:06:52These two will meet Sunday at Backlash on pay-per-view for the European title.
00:06:57Look out!
00:06:58Oh!
00:06:59Into the back!
00:07:00And Eddie Guerrero in trouble, and here comes Val Venis!
00:07:02You gotta give this S.A. Rios a lot of credit.
00:07:05Tremendous athlete.
00:07:06High flyer.
00:07:07Uh-oh.
00:07:08Look out!
00:07:09Look out!
00:07:10Look out!
00:07:11Of S.A. Rios, covered by Val Venis, hooks the leg.
00:07:13There's two, and Eddie Guerrero kicks out.
00:07:14Oh, it's close!
00:07:15Keep in mind, lead of the wild card outside the ring, who really hasn't gotten on the good
00:07:22side of China as of late.
00:07:24She's a wild card.
00:07:25I'd like to have her in my deck.
00:07:27And Eddie Guerrero, the European champion, with that right uppercut.
00:07:32Uh-oh.
00:07:33And look at that!
00:07:34With a big clothesline and a knockdown by Val Venis.
00:07:37Guess that's how you counter the right uppercut, huh?
00:07:39Come on, Val!
00:07:40Reach down!
00:07:41Get some of that!
00:07:42Latino Heat!
00:07:43Look at that!
00:07:44What a move!
00:07:45Counter by Eddie Guerrero!
00:07:46And Val Venis is in trouble, and Eddie Guerrero needs to make a tag.
00:07:50Look!
00:07:51Get to Mamacita!
00:07:53Latino Heat trying to get to Mamacita in the corner.
00:07:56There it is!
00:07:57There's a tag!
00:07:58And here comes Chyna.
00:07:59Lita arguing with the referee and what a clothesline by Chyna.
00:08:02And one to S.A. Rios.
00:08:03Wait, ref!
00:08:04She tagged!
00:08:05Well, referee Jack Doan did not see the tag, and Chyna's living.
00:08:09There was a tag!
00:08:10Ken, you can't call what you don't know.
00:08:12What?
00:08:13You do it all the time!
00:08:14Slamming Eddie Guerrero, center of the ring.
00:08:16Look at S.A. Rios.
00:08:17Moonsault from the top, bro!
00:08:19My God!
00:08:20Look at the middle, please!
00:08:21Here's the cover!
00:08:22There's two!
00:08:23And it's over!
00:08:24S.A. Rios and Val Venis steal one from Eddie and Chyna!
00:08:27Hey, wait a minute!
00:08:28Look at Lita!
00:08:29Lovely Lita!
00:08:30Lovely Lita!
00:08:31And Lita mimics S.A. Rios with a moonsault of her own!
00:08:36Ooh!
00:08:37And Chyna just thundering Val Venis into the steel steps!
00:08:42I'll tell you, King, S.A. Rios and Lita have Eddie Guerrero's number!
00:08:48What's gonna happen Sunday on Pay-Per-View at Backlash when Eddie goes one-on-one with S.A. Rios?
00:08:54Look at Latino heat has been cooled off!
00:08:57He gotta believe it!
00:08:59Uh-oh!
00:09:00You know what this means, don't you?
00:09:02This can only mean one thing, King!
00:09:07Oh, yes!
00:09:08The DX Express!

00:10:13He's going first!
00:10:14Don't call this!
00:10:15Oh!
00:10:16Oh, oh, oh!
00:10:17Oh!
00:10:18McMahon can rock!
00:10:19Rock in the face!
00:10:21Oh, come on!
00:10:22Look at McMahon!
00:10:23Look at McMahon!
00:10:24Don't worry!
00:10:25Don't worry!
00:10:26No, come on!
00:10:27Ow!
00:10:28I can't believe this crap!
00:10:30Luggs, decide and conquer.
00:10:35I regret to inform you,
00:10:37Stone Cold Steve Austin apparently is not coming back to the arena.
00:10:44Wait a minute!
00:10:46Look at the size of that limo!
00:10:48That limo is destroying those cars!
00:10:51What the?
00:10:52Wait a minute!
00:10:53It's Stone Cold!
00:10:55Stone Cold Steve Austin is here!
00:10:58The rotten stick is coming for McMahon!
00:11:01Oh, hell yeah!
00:11:03Oh, yeah!
00:11:08If you smell,
00:11:10The Rock is cooking!
00:11:15We there!
00:11:16We see a rattlesnake stretch!
00:11:18Isn't it?
00:11:19And now The Rock!
00:11:20Stone Cold Steve Austin will be in the corner of The Rock this Sunday on Pay Per View!
00:11:28I cannot believe that Stone Cold Steve Austin is coming back!
00:11:33Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome The Rock!
00:11:37King, will The Rock regain the World Wrestling Federation Championship on Sunday in Backlash?
00:11:45He can smell it!
00:11:46He can smell it!
00:11:47Will he hear an ovation like this in the MCI Center in Washington, D.C.?
00:11:52Wow, look at that!
00:11:54The Rock with Stone Cold in his corner takes on Triple H with Vince McMahon in his corner!
00:12:02The World Wrestling Federation title on the line!
00:12:05Right!
00:12:06Whatever you do, Michael Cole, don't forget!
00:12:08Vince McMahon!
00:12:09He will be in the corner of Triple H!
00:12:12And we know, King, the WWE title means more to Vince McMahon than perhaps anybody!
00:12:19Well, with the exception, of course, of the game, Triple H!
00:12:22It is absolutely electric tonight in Charlotte!
00:12:29They're ready for you, Rock!
00:12:50This is absolutely amazing, King!
00:12:55Thousands of fans on their feet in Charlotte!
00:12:59I think it's gonna be like Sunday when Stone Cold Steve Austin shows up.
00:13:04Finally, The Rock has come back to Charlotte!
00:13:10It's safe to say that The Rock has been through hell to get where he's at.
00:13:28And now, looking back, looking back at everything that Triple H and the McMahons have done to The Rock,
00:13:38with every pedigree, with every chair shot, with every pedigree, with every chair shot!
00:13:44The Rock still stands here today, and The Rock is still going to Backlash!
00:14:01You got that right!
00:14:03We smell what you're cooking, Rock!
00:14:08Look at that, Michael!
00:14:13Can you believe it?
00:14:18He's truly the People's Champion!
00:14:27Sunday on Pay Per View, he may be the WWF Champion!
00:14:30But The Rock realizes it's not over yet!
00:14:32He realizes that they still have one more night to do what they can to The Rock!
00:14:37So The Rock says this, what type of matches are your candy asses gonna put The Rock in tonight?
00:14:42We're wondering!
00:14:47Are you gonna put The Rock in one of those steel cage matches?
00:14:52You're gonna put The Rock in one of those lumberjack matches?
00:14:55Oh hell, you'll probably put The Rock in a Stephanie's Dirty Panties on a pole match!
00:15:00Oh my gosh!
00:15:01And The Rock shows no fear, absolutely no intimidation!
00:15:04He's challenging the regime here tonight!
00:15:07Dirty Panties on a pole!
00:15:09That would work!
00:15:11So having said that, The Rock says this, Vince, Shane, Stephanie, and Triple H.
00:15:17The Rock says bring your candy asses out here right now!
00:15:21Uh oh!
00:15:22They're here!
00:15:23We saw them arrive at the DX Express just moments ago!
00:15:26And The Rock's calling them out!
00:15:27And The Rock says bring out the cage!
00:15:30Bring out the lumberjack!
00:15:31Bring out the dirty panties!
00:15:33The bottom line is The Rock says just bring it!
00:15:36The Rock calling out the McMahon-Helmsley regime!
00:15:41And the Dirty Panties!
00:15:42The Rock can't be intimidated, King! He has no fear!
00:15:46I guess not with all these, all these people behind him!
00:15:52I don't, I don't think Vince should even come at her!
00:15:58The Rock can't take orders from The Rock!
00:16:00Uh oh!
00:16:01Well, the McMahon-Helmsley regime is on its way out here!
00:16:05Get ready for an explosion on SmackDown, King!
00:16:06Oh, The Rock not biting up all that he can chew!
00:16:07Look at this!
00:16:08Triple H, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, DX, Shane, Vince McMahon!
00:16:10They're all here!
00:16:11What cards by The Rock, King, to call this group out!
00:16:14They can eat the Rock alive right now!
00:16:16Look at that!
00:16:17They're only missing with X-Pac, and X-Pac will be there Sunday!
00:16:21Condolences go out to X-Pac, and X-Pac will be there Sunday!
00:16:22Uh oh!
00:16:23Look at this!
00:16:24Uh oh!

00:27:15Exhale called steve austin is not here tonight
00:27:18if he wouldn't the rock would never leave
00:27:20oh dean malenko said to take on scottie to hoddy for the light heavyweight title of rivalry
00:27:24which continued as past sunday night king on sunday night heat it was a triple threat match for the light heavyweight championship
00:27:30scottie to hoddy picked up the victory but check out dean malenko
00:27:34oh yeah dean malenko delivered the goods right there as the match was over
00:27:38He sent a message to Scottie Too Hotty, and as a matter of fact ever since,
00:27:43he's been sending a continuous message.
00:27:45These two guys have gotten into it in the locker room.
00:27:47I mean, it's been a mess.
00:27:48The following contest is scheduled for one call, and
00:27:50it's for the World Wrestling Federation Light Heavyweight Championship.
00:27:55In the ring, weighing in at 220 pounds, from Tampa, Florida, Dean Malenko.
00:28:02King, this match was originally scheduled for
00:28:04back last Sunday on pay-per-view, but guess what, this rivalry's too hot.
00:28:09The match can't wait until then.
00:28:11He is the World Wrestling Federation Light Heavyweight Champion, Scottie Too Hotty.
00:28:20You're right, the rivalry's too hot.
00:28:22I don't know who asked for this match here tonight, but it's happening.
00:28:26Gotta give Scottie Too Hotty a lot of credit.
00:28:28He's the Light Heavyweight Champion.
00:28:30He's a fighting champion, putting the title on the line here tonight on SmackDown.
00:28:34But, King, I still can't figure out where the Rocks go.
00:28:37Oh, look at this!
00:28:38And Dean Malenko attacking Scottie Too Hotty before Scottie could even get his jacket off.
00:28:43That's a good strategy.
00:28:44Where do you think the Rock's going, though?
00:28:46I mean, he guaranteed that Stone Cold was gonna be here in Charlotte tonight.
00:28:50Yeah, but you know you can say anything.
00:28:51Talk is cheap.
00:28:53You know, I think it was a pretty cool move on the Rock's part.
00:28:55Wow, look at this.
00:28:57I mean, the Rock is obviously trying to do what DX is the master at, playing head games.
00:29:02Take a look at how this match started, King.
00:29:04Oh, Scottie Too Hotty waltzing into the ring.
00:29:06And Dean Malenko with a blindside attack.
00:29:08And Malenko now in control of the Light Heavyweight Champion.
00:29:11That was not a waltz.
00:29:12Believe me, Scottie Too Hotty doesn't waltz.
00:29:14Well, he dances.
00:29:15He'll bust a move, all right.
00:29:16And Scottie ripped off the rope by Dean Malenko.
00:29:19A light heavyweight champion hellbent on getting the title back again.
00:29:24So you're saying that the Rock put those foam fingers on the windshield wipers of the VX Express.
00:29:28Well, that was obvious.
00:29:29I mean, of course he did that.
00:29:30Well, just face it.
00:29:31I mean, why would the Rock leave if Stone Cold Steve Austin was here?
00:29:35Well, look at that.
00:29:36Kick to the midsection.
00:29:37He's got to see how he rolls him up quickly.
00:29:38Here's the cover.
00:29:39There's two.
00:29:40And a kick out by Dean Malenko who follows it up with a clothesline.
00:29:43What about the other piece of huge news we just heard, King?
00:29:45Yeah.
00:29:46The level playing field suddenly tipping to Triple H's corner for backlash.
00:29:50Shane McMahon has been announced as a special guest referee
00:29:53for Triple H versus The Rock on pay-per-view.
00:29:56Yeah.
00:29:57Shane doesn't have to worry about being fired like Earl Hebner was.
00:29:59Shane's not an inept referee.
00:30:00He'll call it as he sees it.
00:30:02He's not gonna call it down the middle.
00:30:03I can guarantee you that.
00:30:04How can you guarantee that?
00:30:06What do you know about Shane's referee?
00:30:08You've seen Shane referee in the past.
00:30:10And Dean Malenko with the right hands.
00:30:13Did a good job Monday night?
00:30:14To the head of Scottie Tuhati.
00:30:15You're trying to tell me Shane didn't do a good job referee on Monday night?
00:30:17He did do a good job, but perhaps he was lobbying for this job on backlash.
00:30:21Well, it worked.
00:30:22Dean Malenko's setting him up.
00:30:24Remember, Shane is Triple H's brother-in-law,
00:30:26and Triple H's father-in-law is in his corner.
00:30:29Shane's father.
00:30:30Yeah, Shane's gonna catch.
00:30:32Yeah, right.
00:30:33Dean Malenko's setting Scottie Tuhati up on the top rope.
00:30:36Nice counter by Scottie Tuhati.
00:30:38Good hair on Scottie Tuhati.
00:30:40Shot to the kidney by Scottie Tuhati.
00:30:42Oh.
00:30:43Grandmaster Sexy still convalescing with a knee injury.
00:30:46Scottie Tuhati's tag-team partner.
00:30:48Oh, boy.
00:30:48And Scottie Tuhati flies to the top rope.
00:30:50That's a drop kick up underneath the chin of Dean Malenko
00:30:54as the champion tries to build momentum.
00:30:56Get over there, Scottie.
00:30:57Let's do it.
00:30:59Sunday at Backlash.
00:31:00Rock Triple H for the title.
00:31:02Stone Cold in The Rock's corner.
00:31:04Vince McMahon in Triple H's corner.
00:31:06Shane McMahon, the special guest referee.
00:31:08Can you imagine what it's gonna be like inside the MCI Center Sunday night on pay-per-view?
00:31:13Oh, man.
00:31:14What a kick to the face by Dean Malenko.
00:31:16Malenko misses right here.
00:31:17We'll finally see the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:31:20Well, The Rock guarantees it's gonna happen here tonight in Charlotte.
00:31:23We're gonna see Stone Cold here.
00:31:25Scottie Tuhati cover up the roll-up and a kick out.
00:31:28See, you know what, Michael?
00:31:29What?
00:31:30You are exactly what I guess The Rock thought DX is.
00:31:33You're gullible.
00:31:34I mean, it's a ruse.
00:31:35Come on, let's face it.
00:31:36But he guaranteed it.
00:31:37He usually can take...
00:31:38Well, you can always take The Rock for his word.
00:31:41Come on.
00:31:43Let's face the facts.
00:31:45You got duped.
00:31:46Well, I'm gullible, and the thousands here in Charlotte believed it as well.
00:31:49Did you hear the reaction?
00:31:50Please, poor Shawn.
00:31:53And look out.
00:31:54There we go.
00:31:55Honey Tuhani's feeling it.
00:31:56Look at the look on his face.
00:31:58I think he feels it.
00:32:00We're fixing to see it.
00:32:01There it is.
00:32:02W-O-R-L.
00:32:05It's the word.
00:32:06The light heavyweight champion cooking.
00:32:10Honey Tuhani with a chop to the throat.
00:32:14And the light heavyweight champion's feeling it on SmackDown.
00:32:18And look out.
00:32:19Malenko better move.
00:32:20Now can Scotty Tuhani through the second rope.
00:32:23Scotty Tuhani with his shoulder up over the top, tried for the sunset clip.
00:32:27And look at Malenko.
00:32:28He's using the ropes, King.
00:32:29Dimalenko used the rope for leverage, and Malenko wins the damn match.
00:32:33Here's the winner and the new World Wrestling Federation light heavyweight champion,
00:32:38Dimalenko.
00:32:40Come on now, Scotty Tuhani was robbed.
00:32:43What?
00:32:43Dave Malenko used the rope for leverage.
00:32:45You saw it, King.
00:32:46And the referee never saw it.
00:32:47We should have had Shane McMahon out here to referee this.
00:32:50Let's take a look at this.
00:32:51He would have caught it.
00:32:52What do you call that, King?
00:32:54Oh, finger.
00:32:56What's next?
00:32:57What's going to be next?
00:32:58I don't know.
00:32:59Does it really matter?
00:33:01You know, I'm looking forward to the dog's match.
00:33:03Absolutely.
00:33:04Is that you?
00:33:05What are you doing?
00:33:06Hey.
00:33:07You know, I mean, newlyweds, will you please?
00:33:09Come on.
00:33:10What are you doing?
00:33:11You're young once, Vince?
00:33:12Your stuff worked one time.
00:33:13What do you mean, once?
00:33:14316, right?
00:33:16Let me see.
00:33:17What?
00:33:18316.
00:33:19That's very funny.
00:33:20On your page?
00:33:21Yeah.
00:33:22Nine fingers, page 316.
00:33:23Right, number one.
00:33:24He's riding around in his limo, raising all the couples on the same.
00:33:27I've got a great one on the cell phone.
00:33:28I've got to tell you.
00:33:29What?
00:33:30I don't think Austin's here tonight, okay?
00:33:32Of course they're here.
00:33:33But I've got a funny feeling about tonight.
00:33:35Funny feeling about?
00:33:36You're letting a rock get in your head.
00:33:37Are you kidding me?
00:33:38Look, I'm not letting a rock get in my head.
00:33:40I get in the rocks and I do that for a living.
00:33:42I just said I've got a funny feeling.
00:33:43That's all.
00:33:44King is Stone Cold Steve Austin lurking somewhere in the Charlotte Coliseum.
00:33:50Is he targeting the McMahon Hellsley regime?
00:33:53The Rock guarantees it.
00:33:54Are you an idiot?
00:33:55Come on, smart enough.
00:33:56He is not here.
00:33:57Believe me, he's not here.
00:34:03What's the matter now?
00:34:04Cousin, I can't believe that I lost a horrible title.
00:34:07It meant everything to me.
00:34:09Look, this Sunday at Backlash, you're gonna have the opportunity to get that title back just
00:34:13like me and everybody else, okay?
00:34:15I guess.
00:34:16You guess?
00:34:18Just because you lost the title, you can't get a girlfriend, and you still collect Beanie Babies.
00:34:23It doesn't make you any less of a man.
00:34:25The Beanie Babies weren't gift, cousin.
00:34:28Whatever.
00:34:29Let's go.
00:34:30Tungle.
00:34:31Beanie Babies.
00:34:33Fresh Holly obviously depressed after losing the hardcore title to Matt Hardy on Raw Monday night.
00:34:38But, King, time for some T and A.
00:34:41Oh, boy.
00:34:42As in Teston Albert and Trish Stratus.
00:34:48And, King, I'll tell you, Trish Stratus may be playing with fire this past Monday on Raw.
00:34:53Trish was apparently taunting Bubba Ray Dudley.
00:34:56Oh, you got that right.
00:34:58Hey, Bubba.
00:35:01Bubba Ray, there is something about tables that just drives me crazy.
00:35:08Mmm, lying on these tables gets me so excited.
00:35:11They come in all different shapes and sizes.
00:35:15There's long ones.
00:35:17Those are fun.
00:35:19You know, the most important part of any table is its legs.
00:35:24Upkeep is very important.
00:35:27But the most important one is the center leg.
00:35:30Oh, and then there's round ones.
00:35:32I like those.
00:35:34You have such big, strong ones.
00:35:37The look and the feel of the table depends solely on the way one decides to rub it down after it's been used.
00:35:46But the one thing that they all have to have in common, and the more you rub it, the better the wood starts to look, is that they have to be hard.
00:35:57But it's just not the same without you, Bubba Ray Dudley.
00:36:02If you play your cards right, at Backlash there will be a table set for two, from me to you.
00:36:11Deal me in!
00:36:13Deal me in!
00:36:14I'm becoming quite a table fan myself!
00:36:17Woo, baby!
00:36:18Stannis, though, may be playing with Fire King if she continues to taunt Bubba Ray Dudley.
00:36:23It may be a long night at Backlash.
00:36:26A long, hard night, right?
00:36:28TNA goes, taking on the Dudley boys at Backlash on Paper News Sunday.
00:36:33Speaking of Backlash, Crash Holly has a chance to win his Hardcore title back on some in the MCI Center.
00:36:40The following tag team contest is scheduled for one call.
00:36:44Making their way to the ring, the opponent, at a combined weight of allegedly well over 800 pounds, Hardcore and Crash the Holly!
00:36:55And King at Backlash, six men in the ring off at the same time competing for the Hardcore title now held by Matt Hardy.
00:37:02You're gonna have the two Hollys, the two Hardys, Taz, and Harry Saturn at Backlash.
00:37:07I know!
00:37:08So Hardcore Holly's set to kick things off against Tess the T and T and A in this matchup.
00:37:15Have you told everybody that tonight it's gonna be Hartley versus Hartley?
00:37:19What?
00:37:20Yeah!
00:37:21Matt Hardy's taking on Jeff Hardy!
00:37:22Oh yeah, the Hardys!
00:37:23Hardy versus Hardy for the Hardcore Championship!
00:37:25Unbelievable!
00:37:26Here on SmackDown!
00:37:27Also tonight on SmackDown, we're expecting the arrival, the appearance of Stone Cold Steve Austin!
00:37:32The Rock guarantees it!
00:37:34You know, we could get in trouble for false advertising.
00:37:37You better keep your mouth shut.
00:37:39Man, just quote what The Rock said.
00:37:41Yeah.
00:37:42I mean, you gotta admit, Kang.
00:37:43Don't be liable.
00:37:44The evidence is beginning to matter a little bit that Stone Cold could actually be here.
00:37:47What evidence?
00:37:48I mean, first the foam fingers, the Austin fingers on the windshield wipers on the EX Express
00:37:52Muscle.
00:37:53Now about Triple H just getting paged to 316.
00:37:56We've seen Austin do that in the past.
00:37:58Okay, okay.
00:37:59Come on, Tim.
00:38:00You want me to play protective here?
00:38:01I'd like you to.
00:38:02Well, let's face it.
00:38:03Stone Cold Steve Austin's been out since how long?
00:38:05Since November?
00:38:06Right.
00:38:07When he was run over, by the way, by Rock's rental car, right?
00:38:09Yeah, but The Rock had an alibi.
00:38:10Okay.
00:38:11Don't you think if he had that long, that's almost six months.
00:38:13Wait a minute.
00:38:14Cover by Hardcore Holley and a kick out my test.
00:38:16Stone Cold could come up with something new, something original to do.
00:38:19All these things.
00:38:20You're right.
00:38:21We've seen it done before.
00:38:22It's The Rock.
00:38:23The Rock's just mimicking what he's seen Stone Cold do.
00:38:26Well, Crash Holley into the ring off the tag.
00:38:28It's Stone Cold's greatest hits.
00:38:30Oh.
00:38:31Stone Cold is revisiting history to, you know, play some mind games with the fan Helmsley regime.
00:38:35It is mind games, head games.
00:38:37That's all.
00:38:38Look at this.
00:38:39Oh!
00:38:40Oh!
00:38:41Oh!
00:38:42And DDT off the second rope.
00:38:43That's a test game.
00:38:44And a kick out by Tess.
00:38:45Good job, Elroy.
00:38:46Speaking of head games, Trish.
00:38:47How come Elroy can't get a date?
00:38:49I don't know.
00:38:50Oh, my.
00:38:51Oh, a strike by Tess Powerbomb on Crash Holley.
00:38:53Here's the cover as Trish looks on.
00:38:55And a kick out.
00:38:56Oh, look at this.
00:38:57Oh, look at this.
00:38:58Speaking of looking on, the Dudley boys who meet T and A Sunday at Backlash have their
00:39:04eyes on Trish Stratus.
00:39:05I wish JR could make a cowboy hat look that good.
00:39:08You know, we were talking about playing mind games here tonight, King.
00:39:11Do you think it's wise for Trish to play mind games with Bubba Ray Dudley?
00:39:15I mean, Bubba's been hellbent of putting Trish through a table for weeks now.
00:39:18You know, you could be wrong about everything, Michael.
00:39:21That could be true love.
00:39:24I mean, let's face it.
00:39:25I can almost assure you that Bubba Ray is really smitten with Trish.
00:39:29What a drop kick by Hardcore Holley, hook of the leg, and a kick out after two by Albert.
00:39:34Well, maybe Bubba Ray's smitten with Trish, but I'm not buying into the fact that Trish is smitten with Bubba Ray.
00:39:39You don't think he's appealing?
00:39:41I'll tell him you said that.
00:39:42I'll take the fifth on that.
00:39:44Uh-oh.
00:39:45Looks like Crash wants to do the honors here.
00:39:48But Crash wants to tag in as Albert's out on his feet.
00:39:51He wants to get the pin here.
00:39:52And here's the former Hardcore champion, Crash Holley, top rope, Albert in trouble.
00:39:57He lost himself.
00:40:00Face first in the middle of the ring.
00:40:03And Hardcore is upset.
00:40:10Fantastic.
00:40:11With a kick to Hardcore, the Holley's lost the advantage.
00:40:15But Crash wanted to tag in.
00:40:17And look at the strength of the 370 pound Albert.
00:40:20And the front elbow from Tess is free, hooks the leg.
00:40:24It's over.
00:40:25TNA defeat the Holley's.
00:40:27Here are your winners, TNA.
00:40:31Maybe that's why Elroy can't get a girl.
00:40:33Will TNA be victorious Sunday at Pay Per View at Backlash when they take on the Dudley boys?
00:40:39One, two, three.
00:40:40Hardcore and Crash will compete in that Hardcore Championship match in Backlash as well.
00:40:45Yeah, this may reignite this family's feud.
00:40:49Oh, baby.
00:40:51Well, Trish is pleased with the work of TNA, Test and Albert.
00:40:56You can put a smile on even Bummer Ray Dunn's face.
00:40:59Will Trish and TNA be this happy on Sunday?
00:41:02Wait a minute.
00:41:03Coming out behind you.
00:41:04The Dudley boys chair to Test.
00:41:07Trish.
00:41:08Chair to Albert.
00:41:09And oh no, he's got Trish.
00:41:11He does have her.
00:41:12Bummer Ray Dudley ass.
00:41:13Trish.
00:41:14He's not handling her.
00:41:15Maybe I was wrong.
00:41:16And TNA have been knocked down the chairs.
00:41:20Bummer Ray Dudley manhandling Trish Stratus.
00:41:25And Devon.
00:41:26Devon in the hardware.
00:41:28I've heard a tough laugh, but this is going a little too far.
00:41:32Bummer Ray's been trying to do this for weeks, King.
00:41:35He's had wood for weeks.
00:41:37Bummer Ray Dudley, he's not gonna do this.
00:41:39He's not gonna stop him.
00:41:40They can kill a man having wood for weeks.
00:41:42Look out.
00:41:43Somebody stop him.
00:41:45No, don't do this.
00:41:47Here she goes.
00:41:48Don't do this.
00:41:50Come on now.
00:41:51Wait, look at this.
00:41:52Wait a minute.
00:41:53What's she doing?
00:41:56Trish is kissing Bummer Ray King.
00:42:00Trish Stratus is kissing Bummer Ray Dudley.
00:42:05And I think Bummer's melting.
00:42:07Look at Demon.
00:42:09Trish Stratus, and there's Test.
00:42:13Test and Albert.
00:42:16Keep your ass out.
00:42:17I'll give you one.
00:42:18Coming to the aid of Trish Stratus.
00:42:19And look at Bummer Ray.
00:42:20He's in that trance again.
00:42:21He's mesmerized.
00:42:22Oh, no.
00:42:23He's at the table.
00:42:24Bummer Ray Dudley through the table.
00:42:26Bummer Ray Dudley was gonna put Trish Stratus through a table.
00:42:30Came with Trish, kissed Bummer Ray.
00:42:32He was mesmerized.
00:42:33Trish Stratus through a table.
00:42:34Came with Trish, kissed Bummer Ray.
00:42:35He was mesmerized.
00:42:36Trish Stratus through a table.
00:42:37Came with Trish, kissed Bummer Ray.
00:42:38He was mesmerized.
00:42:39Trish dodged the wood tonight, but it may not happen Sunday.
00:42:42He was late.
00:42:43TNA Sunday on pay-per-view.
00:42:48Just calm down.
00:42:49I'm calm.
00:42:50There's no reason to be freaked out about this.
00:42:51I'm calm, okay?
00:42:52Yeah.
00:42:53And I know he's not here.
00:42:54I just think we should cover all the bases.
00:42:56So, therefore, why don't we just go, okay, a little search party type thing, all right?
00:43:02You guys go this way.
00:43:04That's ridiculous.
00:43:05I know, I know what you're doing.
00:43:06You went totally with a rocket to your brain.
00:43:09If it'll make you feel better.
00:43:10If it'll make you feel better.
00:43:11We'll do it.
00:43:12Fine, thank you.
00:43:13Okay?
00:43:14You guys go that way, I will go this way.
00:43:15I'll take the ladies and go this way, and you guys just go that way.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20All right.
00:43:21Be careful.
00:43:22Okay, yeah.
00:43:23What's going on?
00:43:24You too.
00:43:25I can't believe you're letting me get in your head like that.
00:43:32I mean, you know, nothing's, nothing's up.
00:43:40I mean, I mean, we're fine, Shane.
00:43:44Okay?
00:43:45Everything's cool.
00:43:46All right?
00:43:47So let's just, you know, you're right.
00:43:49We'll just chill out.
00:43:50Get in, get in, get in, Shane!
00:43:52Shane, Shane!
00:43:53Shane, Shane!
00:43:54Shane, Shane!
00:43:55Cardboard, Shane!
00:43:56That's a damn cardboard cutout.
00:43:58That son of a .
00:44:00That's it.
00:44:01That's enough.
00:44:02I'm tired of the games.
00:44:03I'm tired of the games.
00:44:05You got me all freaked out.
00:44:07You know, this is ridiculous.
00:44:13Oh, God!
00:44:15Sorry, Steph, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:44:16That's okay, Kurt.
00:44:17I've been looking all over for you.
00:44:19You know this new movie, Gladiator?
00:44:20Mm-hmm.
00:44:21Well, I'm sure this thing's gonna be a big hit.
00:44:22We're talking blockbuster.
00:44:24Anyway, Steven Spielberg, Oscar winner Steven Spielberg, has personally invited me to attend
00:44:29the world premiere.
00:44:30That's great.
00:44:31So I'm gonna have to miss next week's Roth.
00:44:32That's okay with you.
00:44:33Oh, no problem, no problem.
00:44:35You haven't by any chance seen, um, Stone Cold Steve Austin anywhere, have you?
00:44:41Actually, I never met the guy.
00:44:42I'm sure he's a big fan.
00:44:43I love to meet him.
00:44:44Have you seen him?
00:44:45No.
00:44:46Great.
00:44:48One last thing.
00:44:49What you did for me last Monday night?
00:44:50Yeah, sure.
00:44:51No problem.
00:44:52Whatever you want.
00:44:54Oh, no.
00:44:55Oh, no.
00:44:56Oh, no.
00:44:57Oh.
00:44:58Speaking of jumping.

00:47:10From Peri Saturn and the World Wrestling Federation,
00:47:15Intercontinental Champion, Chris Benoit.
00:47:23Chris Benoit, Peri Saturn, tag team action against Y2J and Taz.
00:47:31Another one of the radicals, King.
00:47:33Dean Malenko successful in regaining his title tonight.
00:47:36Light Heavyweight Championship with a controversial victory over Scotty Tuhati.
00:47:40And it's Saturn and Jericho kicking things off in this big matchup.
00:47:44Why was it controversial?
00:47:46Because Dean Malenko used the ropes and cheated, plain and simple.
00:47:50Oh boy.
00:47:50And look at Peri Saturn, face first, goes Chris Jericho, Y2J.
00:47:56Peri Saturn has an opportunity to win the Hardcore title Sunday at Backlash.
00:48:00Sixth way for the Hardcore Championship.
00:48:03Well, King, you gotta admit Stone Cold Steve Austin is here tonight in Charlotte.
00:48:07I mean, the evidence is mounting.
00:48:08I don't have to admit anything.
00:48:10Look out, Jericho, going for the walls of Jericho on Peri Saturn.
00:48:15Taz, Chris Benoit for the pass.
00:48:18And it's locked in.
00:48:19And it's Saturn and Benoit with Intercontinental Championship from behind,
00:48:23knocking down Jericho.
00:48:24I'll admit that Y2J is, looks like he's sleeping on the job.
00:48:29Well, let's take a look at the evidence that Stone Cold's here tonight.
00:48:31The phone finger's on the DX bus.
00:48:33Big deal.
00:48:33Here's the cover by Peri Saturn.
00:48:35Two, and Taz just breaks up the three count.
00:48:38You're trying to make a rush to judgment here.
00:48:39The 316 and the pager of Triple H.
00:48:42Oh, come on, I'm telling you.
00:48:43That was just a rock calling from his limo.
00:48:45Well, who left the cardboard cutout of Stone Cold Steve Austin back there?
00:48:49Some idiot from marketing down the rattlesnake.
00:48:53Oh, my, Y2J, cut and perry Saturn off.
00:48:56Tremendous move by Chris Jericho.
00:48:58Okay, well, if you won't admit that Stone Cold Steve Austin's here,
00:49:01you have to admit that the McMahon-Helmgley regime is reeling tonight,
00:49:04paranoid just three days from backlash.
00:49:07Just because you saw Stephanie a little bit, a little bit shaken there,
00:49:10she probably just, she should switch the decaps and maybe some of that herbal tea or something.
00:49:14They beat up a cardboard cutout.
00:49:19Great suplex, Benoit takes the feet out from underneath Taz.
00:49:23Now, that's not rational behavior, beating up a cardboard cutout.
00:49:26Listen, those McMahons have always been known to be high spirited,
00:49:29and they did a good job of beating up that cutout.
00:49:31I think they're worried, if you want my opinion.
00:49:32Did I ever tell you about the big, I mean, the toughest fighter ever from Ireland?
00:49:36Great-great-grandfather.
00:49:37Great-great-granddad McMahon.
00:49:38Angus McMahon.
00:49:39Look at Benoit hooks the leg on Taz in a kickout after two.
00:49:43Well, Angus McMahon isn't around to help the McMahon-Helmgley regime tonight
00:49:47when Stone Cold Steve Austin shows up.
00:49:49Put the leg Benoit, kick out Taz.
00:49:52Great snap suplex by Chris Benoit.
00:49:55You would really love for the Rattlesnake to be here, wouldn't you?
00:49:57I would. I'd love to see Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:50:00We haven't seen him since November.
00:50:02Look at that! Harry Saturn with a knee across the head of Taz.
00:50:06Pucks the leg. This one shouldn't be over it somehow.
00:50:09How did Taz kick out?
00:50:10How did a street thug get out of that?
00:50:12You know what? You're starting to remind me of J.R.
00:50:15Why?
00:50:16It'll be a big Stone Cold Steve Austin mark.
00:50:18Well, I take that as a compliment.
00:50:19Oh, you do, huh?
00:50:20And Perry Saturn across the chest of Taz.
00:50:23Great takedown by Chris Benoit.
00:50:25And the Rattlesnake, here's the Crippler Crossface, King.
00:50:28That's it.
00:50:29It's locked in. Submission hold on Taz.
00:50:30Give it up, you sweet thug.
00:50:31The Crippler Crossface, and Jericho breaks it up.
00:50:35Yeah, that's controversial. That's cheating.
00:50:37Well, you gotta give Taz a thumbs up that he didn't give in to the Crippler Crossface.
00:50:42Don't worry. Benoit get that move on Jericho this Sunday at pay-per-view.
00:50:46The Street Survivor, Taz battling back. Here's the tag to Jericho.
00:50:51And Jericho gets Benoit Sunday, but he has to be here tonight as well.
00:50:58Y2J hammering away, chopped to the chest of Benoit.
00:51:01What a match it's gonna be on pay-per-view.
00:51:03Benoit, Jericho, Sunday at Backlash.
00:51:06What a knock down by Y2J.
00:51:08Look at that.
00:51:09Perry Saturn gets one as well.
00:51:10That was not right.
00:51:11Look at that.
00:51:12Full dog.
00:51:13Y2J cover, hooks the leg.
00:51:16Perry Saturn breaks up the three count.
00:51:18Did you blame him?
00:51:19Uh-oh.
00:51:20And Taz, the transmission.
00:51:21Get out there.
00:51:22Not quite locked in on Saturn.
00:51:24These two will meet Sunday in that sixth wave for the hardcore titles.
00:51:28These guys are right out here in front of us.
00:51:30In the ring, Benoit, Jericho, look at that.
00:51:33Look at that.
00:51:34Oh, man.
00:51:35Look at that.
00:51:36He does that.
00:51:37He likes to call it the Lion Salt.
00:51:39Watch the line.
00:51:40It's over.
00:51:45Here are your winners, Taz and Chris Jericho.
00:51:50It's Y2J.
00:51:51It's the Lion Salt.
00:51:53Sunday at Backlash.
00:51:55Forget about it.
00:51:56Jericho, the new Intercontinental Champion on pay-per-view.
00:52:04There's no more.
00:52:05There's no more.
00:52:06There's no more.
00:52:07There's no more.
00:52:08There's no more.
00:52:09There's no more.
00:52:10There's no more.

00:52:12There's no more.
00:52:13There's no more.
00:52:14There's no more.
00:52:15There's no more.
00:52:16There's no more.
00:52:17There's no more.
00:52:18There's no more.
00:52:19There's no more.
00:52:20There's no more.
00:52:21There's no more.
00:52:22There's no more.
00:52:23There's no more.
00:52:24There's no more.
00:52:25Austin.
00:52:30You didn't know?
00:52:36Your ass better call somebody.
00:52:45Sunday at Backlash on Pay Per View.
00:52:47King DX will be back in full force.
00:52:50X-Pac and Road Dog versus Edge and Cushman for the tag team titles.
00:52:54You see, it's me, it's me, it's Sandino double chin.
00:53:03Road Dog's demanding, King, that Tori stay in a backstage area for this matchup after
00:53:09what happened Monday night on Raw when Christian dropped Tori on her head in the middle of the
00:53:14rent.
00:53:15Right.
00:53:16Jesus.
00:53:17You know, she's nursing quite an injury there.
00:53:18Trying to help her.
00:53:19I've been sort of massaging her back all afternoon.
00:53:21Oh, you were trying to help her.
00:53:24Oh, King, I'll tell you, if Road Dog wasn't in a bad enough mood after what happened on
00:53:27Monday night, he's not gonna be too pleased that Christian interrupted his promo.
00:53:33And here's Christian.
00:53:34And look at Road Dog.
00:53:35Oh, oh, here we go.
00:53:36Cutting Christian off with a pass.
00:53:37And here we go.
00:53:38Christian Road Dog one on one.
00:53:41I'll tell you, Road Dog came extremely upset over what happened Monday night on Raw.
00:53:50Oh, Edge and Christian with that run in.
00:53:51I mean, they predicted it.
00:53:52They sat here at ringside with you and JR Monday night, Edge and Christian did, and said that
00:53:54they were going to interfere in the Road Dog's match.
00:53:56They did that, and they attacked Road Dog.
00:53:57I realize that, and I know Road Dog as well as anybody.
00:54:01I spent a lot of time talking to him the last couple days.
00:54:04He is irate.
00:54:05He is beside himself.
00:54:06He can't wait to right the wrong that he feels.
00:54:08Oh, what's up?
00:54:09Christian dying through the air and knocking Road Dog down.
00:54:11Get out now!
00:54:12Get out now!
00:54:13Get out now!
00:54:14I'm getting started here, though.
00:54:15Come on, Road Dog.
00:54:16Do what you told me you were gonna do.
00:54:17And not only did Edge and Christian attack Road Dog, they attacked Tori as well.
00:54:21Hook of the leg.
00:54:22Kick out by Road Dog after two.
00:54:24Sunday on Pay Per View at Backlash.
00:54:27X-Pac's back.
00:54:28Tori's back.
00:54:29Tag titles are on the line.
00:54:30Boy, look at the agility of Christian.
00:54:32And Road Dog's now in control, and Christian reverses fortunes on the Road Dog.
00:54:38Right hands by Christian.
00:54:40Edge and Christian with a new attitude ever since winning the tag team titles at WrestleMania.
00:54:45Look out.
00:54:46Road Dog in trouble.
00:54:48Big trouble.
00:54:49Face first into the canvas.
00:54:51Christian gonna fly high.
00:54:52Top rope.
00:54:53On counter for the clothesline.
00:54:55Mid-air clothesline.
00:54:56Okay, King.
00:54:57What?
00:54:58Do you finally admit and believe that Stone Cold Steve Austin is indeed here in Charlotte?
00:55:03Covered by Road Dog to kick out.
00:55:05Not admitting anything.
00:55:06I mean, come on.
00:55:07Phone fingers.
00:55:08316 left in a pager.
00:55:10A cardboard cutout.
00:55:11Now Shane McMahon runs into a room full of empty beer cans.
00:55:15There's only one guy we know who drinks on the job.
00:55:18Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:55:19Oh, please.
00:55:20Come on.
00:55:21Just remember where we're at.
00:55:23Close.
00:55:24We're in Charlotte.
00:55:25Right.
00:55:26These people boozing up like crazy over here.
00:55:28Oh, come on.
00:55:29Look at Christian.
00:55:30What a maneuver.
00:55:33I believe Stone Cold's here.
00:55:34Rock Aaron damn teed it.
00:55:36Said Stone Cold would be here tonight just three days from Backlash.
00:55:39And no matter what you say.
00:55:40What?
00:55:41You know what?
00:55:42What?
00:55:43Shut up.
00:55:44Just shut up about Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:55:45Well, no matter-
00:55:46You gotta match the call here.
00:55:47Well, no matter what you say, King.
00:55:48The McMahon Helmsley regime is on edge three days from Backlash.
00:55:52Oh!
00:55:53What a knockdown by Christian on Road Dog.
00:55:55You can hear the impact in the Charlotte Coliseum.
00:55:59I think that I'll tell you who's gonna be on edge.
00:56:02It's gonna be Road Dog.
00:56:04He's gonna be all over Edge and Christian.
00:56:06Sunday on pay-per-view.
00:56:07Face first.
00:56:08Hook of the leg by Christian.
00:56:09Oh!
00:56:10And a kick out after two.
00:56:11Speaking of Edge King, keep in mind, he can interfere in this matchup.
00:56:14If he does, Edge and Christian are stripped of the tag titles.
00:56:17All right.
00:56:18Well, you know what I'm gonna do?
00:56:19I'm gonna answer you a question, Michael Cole.
00:56:20What?
00:56:21Suppose...
00:56:22Suppose Stone Cold Steve Austin did show up.
00:56:23Right.
00:56:24Suppose he is here tonight.
00:56:25What did he do?
00:56:26The Rock's gone.
00:56:28The Rock's gone.
00:56:29Look out, look out, cover.
00:56:30And he got him.
00:56:31Road Dogg picked up the victory over Christian.
00:56:34Here's your winner, the Road Dogg, Jesse James.
00:56:38And Road Dogg's not through yet.
00:56:39Christian into the steel pipe, and Road Dogg rocking down the referee.
00:56:44I told you, I told you he is irate.
00:56:46What the hell has gotten into Road Dogg?
00:56:49Don't you remember what Christian did to Tori?
00:56:51Road Dogg with the right hands to Christian.
00:56:54Yeah, remember what Christian and Edge did to Road Dogg maybe on Raw.
00:56:57Right.
00:56:58But Road Dogg has lost it.
00:57:00He's totally lost it.
00:57:02Road Dogg abusing Christian.
00:57:07Man.
00:57:08Christian is defenseless.
00:57:11Here comes some more referee.
00:57:12Hit that too.
00:57:13Road Dogg with a steel chair in his hand.
00:57:16Look at this.
00:57:18Look at this.
00:57:19I've never seen Road Dogg like this before, King.
00:57:22Having to pull the Road Dogg over Christian.
00:57:24Have you ever seen Road Dogg this irate?
00:57:27I told you I talked to him this week and-
00:57:30What's this guy doing?
00:57:31Ladies and gentlemen, the ref has reversed the decision.
00:57:34The winner is Christian.
00:57:36What?
00:57:37Well, the referee reversed the decision.
00:57:38Wait a minute, he can't do that.
00:57:39Well, he can do whatever he wants.
00:57:41Road Dogg knocks him down.
00:57:42I'm going free now.
00:57:43How can he declare risk of the winner?
00:57:45Road Dogg took things too far.
00:57:48The attack on Christian was unnecessary, but I can guarantee it.
00:57:52This is going to be settled on pay-per-view Sunday.
00:57:55Calm down, man.
00:57:56I'm not calm down.
00:57:57You know, Kurt Angle nearly scared the hell out of me.
00:58:01You can't help him.
00:58:02He's right here under my nose.
00:58:04There's no word.
00:58:05Come back.
00:58:06I found him.
00:58:07I found him.
00:58:08He's right here under our noses.
00:58:09There's music too much.
00:58:10Where's he?
00:58:11Come back.
00:58:12Come back.
00:58:14Come back.
00:58:15Come back.
00:58:17Come back.
00:58:21Move back.
00:58:22Move back.
00:58:25Come back.
00:58:26Move back.
00:58:27Go back.
00:58:29I'm good enough.
00:58:30Giving it up for both hands.
00:58:31Slaught with your horn, fam.
00:58:33Ripping up for the program.
00:58:34All okay, guys.
00:58:35Tell me you say, guys.
00:58:36But gang, gang, gang, gang!
00:58:38I'm a G with no mercy.
00:58:40Would not say here.
00:58:42You say much.
00:58:42What the hell?
00:58:44Come on!
00:58:50I'm tired of this.
00:58:51I'm tired of this.
00:58:54I mean, King, what a great opportunity for a WWE fan to guest.
00:58:58Seeing the world premiere of Gladiator and getting to spend the evening with this man.
00:59:04An Olympic hero.
00:59:06Kurt Angle.
00:59:08Let me clear up one misunderstanding.
00:59:12Many feel that I hate the big show.
00:59:17I don't hate anybody.
00:59:20I feel sorry for the big show.
00:59:22What?
00:59:23You talk about a talented man.
00:59:24Seven foot tall, 500 pounds, and he lets all that talent go to waste.
00:59:31How's that?
00:59:32Let me put it in terms even all of you can understand.
00:59:35It's like the Charlotte Hornets.
00:59:38They're a very, very talented bunch.
00:59:41It's true.
00:59:42They are.
00:59:43But they're not going anywhere.
00:59:45They're not going to accomplish anything.
00:59:48That's true.
00:59:48I know.
00:59:49I'm just as upset about it as all of you are.
00:59:53Which is why at Backlash, I'm not only going to beat the big show, I'm going to beat some sense into the big show.
01:00:01It's true.
01:00:02It's true.
01:00:04You know, maybe if the Hornets would use the three I's.
01:00:07Well, Kurt Angle goes one-on-one with the big show Sunday.
01:00:10At Backlash on pay-per-view tonight, a handicap matchup.
01:00:15And here comes his tag team partners.
01:00:18Hey, King, this must have been what Kurt Angle meant when he asked Stephanie for another favor earlier on tonight.
01:00:24Asking Stephanie, I guess, to the extent to set up this handicap matchup, help put the big show out of commission.
01:00:30You know, King, if Kurt Angle says he's not scared of the big show, not worried about the big show, well, why did he try to hire the Acolytes to take out the big show on Raw this past Monday night?
01:00:40Boy, you think everybody's scared, don't you?
01:00:43You think Kurt Angle's scared?
01:00:45Weighed in at 423 pounds, Rikichi Baku!
01:00:51You think the McMahon healthy regime is scared?
01:00:53Are you scared, Michael?
01:00:55I'm not scared.
01:00:56Well, I'm looking forward to seeing Stone Cold Street Boston here in a little bit of a stop now.
01:00:59Oh, please.
01:01:01You're starting to scare me.
01:01:02I'm starting to think there's really something seriously wrong with you.
01:01:05Well, stop with the scaring stuff, King.
01:01:07Did your parents leave you on the tilt of the world too long when you were little kids?
01:01:10I mean, you've got to admit Stone Cold Steve Austin is here in Charlotte tonight.
01:01:15I do not admit anything of a kind.
01:01:18You just heard his music playing in a locker room.
01:01:21Who set that up?
01:01:22Well, it's the big show.
01:01:24Wow.
01:01:26Let's hear me.
01:01:27I heard his music.
01:01:30He's gonna lean in at 500 pounds, the T-shirt.
01:01:35Okay, you heard his music.
01:01:37If you think The Rock is putting all these little off, it ranks on it again, healthy regime.
01:01:41We saw The Rock take off an hour ago in his limousine.
01:01:44Who's doing it in Austin?
01:01:46Well, the music, I mean, that comes out of, that's the oldest question in the world.
01:01:49Is it live or is it Memorax?
01:01:51Well, that was obviously Memorax, so it's not live.
01:01:54He's not here tonight live.
01:01:55What about the beer can?
01:01:56What about the cardboard cutout?
01:01:58What about the 316-pager?
01:02:00What about the foam singer?
01:02:01Austin is here.
01:02:02Oh, please.
01:02:04There's a lot of Carolina Panther football players here.
01:02:07That could account for the beer can.
01:02:09Got it.
01:02:10Oh, Big Show.
01:02:12The team's under a key sheet.
01:02:14Close to a half ton of mass on one team.
01:02:17Taking on Boss Man, Bova Buchanan, and Kurt Angle.
01:02:23And Kurt Angle is going to start things off with The Big Show.
01:02:26And here's the double team by Boss Man, Bova Buchanan.
01:02:30I'm surprised to see Rikishi came in with The Big Show.
01:02:33I'm not.
01:02:33No love lost between those two guys, but I guess there is some respect.
01:02:38I think there's mutual respect, King.
01:02:39I think this newfound alliance is based on that mutual respect.
01:02:43Kurt, are you all right?
01:02:44There you go.
01:02:45I mean, Rikishi's a guy, King.
01:02:47And look at the triple team on The Big Show.
01:02:50And Boss Man and Bova Buchanan in control of The Big Show.
01:02:53And look at the agility of Bo Buchanan.
01:02:57Beautiful.
01:02:57And Kurt Angle hammering away on the right hand, picking up the pieces.
01:03:00I think Rikishi's been taken out here by Bo and with those iron steps.
01:03:07Rikishi knocked off the apron and the double team continues, or should I say triple team.
01:03:13And Big Show, a missile through the air.
01:03:15Double clothesline.
01:03:18And Kurt Angle catches a boot to the chest.
01:03:21That's not intelligent, Kurt.
01:03:24But I'll tell you, that's intense.
01:03:26Big Show, boot to the face of Boss Man.
01:03:29And Rikishi with the steel steps.
01:03:33Whoa, are you all right?
01:03:34Bo just ran into a roadblock.
01:03:39No.
01:03:40Rikishi beats Bo Buchanan to The Big Show, and what a kick by Show.
01:03:44Well, here it comes, King.
01:03:46Are you gonna fight?
01:03:47Fight.
01:03:48It's stick face time.
01:03:51Oh, no, please, Bo.
01:03:53Oh, no, please, Bo.
01:03:53The stink face of Bo Buchanan.
01:03:57Get a bag full of that, Bo.
01:03:59Take a whiff.
01:04:00Did you smell that over here?
01:04:03Bo Buchanan after that stink face.
01:04:06And now we follow that up with a Chokeslam.
01:04:08It don't look like you've seen it go.
01:04:09He might fix the vehicle.
01:04:10Boom.
01:04:11Over 10 feet high in the air.
01:04:13The Chokeslam.
01:04:15It's over.
01:04:15Here we are, Rikishi, Bo Buchanan, and The Big Show.
01:04:26Oh, King, I'll tell you, I'm not surprised to see Rikishi and The Big Show working so well together now.
01:04:31I mean, Rikishi's a guy who likes to express himself, right?
01:04:35Likes to have fun.
01:04:36Yeah.
01:04:36So it's The Big Show.
01:04:37It only makes sense that they get along.
01:04:41Wait a minute.
01:04:42The sunglasses.
01:04:43I think they're really fixing to get along.
01:04:45Rikishi just gave The Big Show the shades.
01:04:49I think we're dancing, King.
01:04:51And Boss Man from behind with a nightstick.
01:04:54And look at Kurt Angle.
01:04:55Party.
01:04:58Kurt Angle in Big Show's face.
01:05:01Wait a minute.
01:05:03It's The Afterlife.
01:05:05Oh, no.
01:05:06Maruka Bradshaw with a feline.
01:05:08Get out of here.
01:05:09Kurt Martin Bull.
01:05:11Get away, Kurt.
01:05:12Yeah, Kurt Angle hightailing it.
01:05:17Can you blame him?
01:05:18The Acolytes in pursuit of the Boss Man in full Buchanan.
01:05:22I'll tell you, King, there's gonna be hell to pay Sunday on pay-per-view when Big Show gets Kurt Angle one-on-one.
01:05:30I think it's gonna be a long night for the Olympic gold medalists.
01:05:34Wait a minute.
01:05:34These two guys still have the glasses on.
01:05:40Rikishi with the shades on.
01:05:42Not so fast, big man.
01:05:48Are they gonna, King?
01:05:55I think they're gonna bust a big move.
01:05:59He always finishes when he starts.
01:06:02Charlotte wants some dancing.
01:06:09Well, they're gonna get it.
01:06:10The Big Show and Rikishi getting down on SmackDown.
01:06:21I feel the ground moving, Michael.
01:06:23I'll tell you, King, the ground's gonna be moving later on tonight when Stone Cold Steve Austin shows up here.
01:06:30Give me a break.
01:06:30I'm trying to enjoy this dance and don't ruin it for me.
01:06:32Rikishi and the Big Show getting down.
01:06:37Check it out.
01:06:46Get in, get in, get in.
01:06:47Get in, get in.
01:06:48They got Austin.
01:06:50They got Austin.
01:06:52Who the hell are you?
01:06:53I'm working here.
01:06:54You, you're fired.
01:06:56Get the hell out of here.
01:06:57You're fired.
01:06:58Get out of here.
01:06:59Oh, you're fired.
01:07:02And now, the Castrol GTX Slam of the Week.
01:07:06Brought to you by the motor oil that provides maximum protection.
01:07:09Castrol GTX.
01:07:11Drive hard.
01:07:12Crash with this hardcore title belt.
01:07:1324-7, you know.
01:07:15Hey, wait a minute.
01:07:16We've got another match.
01:07:17This is a hardcore title match.
01:07:18A peri-soccer.
01:07:19Oh, pass.
01:07:21Come on by Jeff.
01:07:23Matt Harking up the cover.
01:07:25Matt Hardy's won the title.
01:07:29Steve.
01:07:29Look, I know I'm bothering you.
01:07:31I'm waving the white flag.
01:07:32I want to reconcile.
01:07:33Okay?
01:07:34You were right.
01:07:34I was wrong.
01:07:35Let's do it your way.
01:07:36Let's get back together again.
01:07:37Forget it.
01:07:38You come to the ring dressed up like a pimp.
01:07:40You got somebody coming to the ring in a bunny outfit.
01:07:42I can't stand it anymore.
01:07:43You're a lunatic.
01:07:44Fine.
01:07:45I agree.
01:07:45Great.
01:07:46But I can be serious.
01:07:47I can be just as serious as you.
01:07:48And I think we can be a serious threat together.
01:07:50So let's do it.
01:07:51How do you expect me or anyone else to take you seriously when you walk around talking to a
01:07:55damn head?
01:07:55You're pathetic.
01:07:56It's over.
01:07:57Good point.
01:08:02Who can take Al's though seriously?
01:08:04You can be serious?
01:08:06This is going to be serious.
01:08:08Brother versus brother.
01:08:09Hardcore title on the line.
01:08:11I'm really starting to realize you are very, very negative.
01:08:15What?
01:08:15The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:08:19And it's for the World Wrestling Federation Hardcore Championship.
01:08:23In the ring, introducing the challenger, weighing in at 217 pounds, Jeff Hardy.
01:08:31That's not to say the Hardys are Hotties?
01:08:33Okay, I'll tell you what, Jeff Hardy has as much weight for the Hardcore title as
01:08:36his brother, Matt, and was Jeff with the Swanton Bomb, as we just saw on Raw.
01:08:40Here's the point.
01:08:41Matt Hardy picked up the win.
01:08:42Weighing in at 213 pounds, he is the new World Wrestling Federation Hardcore Champion,
01:08:49Matt Hardy.
01:08:50You know, King, it's the only title defended 24 hours a day, seven days a week here in the
01:08:55World Wrestling Federation.
01:08:56A Hardcore Championship.
01:08:58And Crash Holly awfully depressed earlier on tonight that he lost the title on Raw.
01:09:02Well, you know, this could be pretty significant right here.
01:09:05It's almost like a match that Stephanie McMahon would have made.
01:09:09But it came about like you said.
01:09:12After Jeff felt like he won the match.
01:09:15Oh!
01:09:16Matt got the cover.
01:09:17Well, Matt told Jeff, here are even the odds.
01:09:20Quick cover.
01:09:21There's two.
01:09:22Jeff kicks out.
01:09:23You think Ma and Pa Hardy ever had this in mind?
01:09:25Well, Matt's the older brother, and he allowed Jeff to have one of those weapons, and Jeff didn't
01:09:29want it.
01:09:30No holds barred.
01:09:31Balls count anywhere.
01:09:32Matt Hardy versus Jeff Hardy.
01:09:34Hardcore title on the line.
01:09:37Winner of this match will defeat.
01:09:38Oh!
01:09:39At back last Sunday on Pay-Per-View in the six-way matchup for the Hardcore Championship.
01:09:45Here's a cover by Jeff Hardy.
01:09:46Two and a kick out.
01:09:48Oh, my gosh.
01:09:49I can't believe that Matt's head was driven.
01:09:51Oh!
01:09:52Those turnbuckles need an airbag on them.
01:09:54Watch this.
01:09:56Oh!
01:09:57That's the impact.
01:09:57And speaking of impact, Jeff Hardy top rope.
01:10:01Broome!
01:10:02Ah!
01:10:02Across the chest of Matt.
01:10:05Cover!
01:10:06Did you see what he flew in on?
01:10:08And a kick out.
01:10:08Hey, a broom.
01:10:09Look at who else is flying in.
01:10:10That's the old broom hill to move.
01:10:12Yeah, Perry Saturn, part of that six-way hardcore matchup.
01:10:16At back last Sunday on Pay-Per-View, making his way down to the ring.
01:10:19There's gonna be a fire somewhere.
01:10:22Perry, you're not in this match.
01:10:23This really isn't brotherly love, is it, Kane?
01:10:25Not exactly.
01:10:27Matt and Jeff battling after the Hardcore title.
01:10:30Meanwhile, the evidence continues to mount that Stone Cold Steve Austin is indeed here in Charlotte tonight.
01:10:37Oh, no, look at this!
01:10:38Now, Jeff trashed face first in the metal trash container.
01:10:43In the can.
01:10:45Don't bother him.
01:10:45And Matt Hardy, with a dropkick, he's gonna say to the head, but actually to the can to the head.
01:10:52Hello, hello, hello.
01:10:53Can you hear me in there?
01:10:54What are you doing?
01:10:56There's gotta be an echo inside that can.
01:10:58Matt Hardy top rope.
01:10:59Oh, my God.
01:11:00No!
01:11:01He just crushed that metal trash container across the face of his brother.
01:11:06That's why they call this Hardcore, Michael.
01:11:08That was great.
01:11:09He's gotta be out cold in a kick out by Jeff Hardy.
01:11:13How'd he kick out of that?
01:11:14We gotta take another look at this, Kane.
01:11:16Oh, snap to the impact.
01:11:19Imagine your head being crushed.
01:11:21And Matt Hardy sent through the second rope.
01:11:24Hardcore Holley's made his way to ringside.
01:11:28He and Perry Saturn out there all poured in his head.
01:11:30Wait a minute!
01:11:31We'll be involved.
01:11:33This is not a ladder match, is it?
01:11:36It's not a ladder match.
01:11:38Both Hardy brothers have the same idea.
01:11:40But we know what the Hardys can do with ladders, Kane.
01:11:42They think alike, they're brothers.
01:11:44Oh!
01:11:45And the ladder echoing, thundering off the face of Matt Hardy.
01:11:49Man, oh, man.
01:11:51Oh, no.
01:11:52Jeff Hardy set the ladder up and look who's here now.
01:11:55Oh, this idiot.
01:11:56Taz, Hardcore, and Perry Saturn outside the ring.
01:12:01Taz should be back in jail, still in jail, or at least in jail.
01:12:05All those men will participate in the six-way Hardcore Championship match Sunday at
01:12:09Backlash, and what in the world is Jeff Hardy doing?
01:12:13Yes!
01:12:14My God, can you believe it?
01:12:17I saw it, but I don't know if I believe it, but that's it.
01:12:19Jeff Hardy covers Matt.
01:12:21New Hardcore, and somehow Matt kicked out.
01:12:24What?
01:12:25These two are nuts, plain and simple.
01:12:27Take another look.
01:12:28Unbelievable.
01:12:31A leap frog over the top of the ladder.
01:12:34Now what?
01:12:36He's not through yet.
01:12:37He loves ladders.
01:12:38Oh, no, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy's on his feet as well.
01:12:43Both Hardys scaling the ladder in this Hardcore title match.
01:12:46It's a big man.
01:12:48What's he gonna do?
01:12:49Swans hot on the ladder?
01:12:50No way.
01:12:51Fingers hit on her face.
01:12:53I haven't pulled him off.
01:12:54Matt Hardy counters.
01:12:56Look out!
01:12:57Whoa!
01:12:58Jeff Hardy just wiping out Perry Saturn and Taz outside the ring.
01:13:02My gosh.
01:13:04Hardcore titles on the line.
01:13:06Uh-oh, now we got another fight going here.
01:13:09No disqualifications, falls count anywhere.
01:13:12Matt Hardy.
01:13:13Take it out.
01:13:15Perry Saturn and Jeff Hardy.
01:13:18Now, who's in this match?
01:13:20Well, the match is between Matt and Jeff, but Taz, Saturn, and Hardcore Holly going at it.
01:13:25Here's a cover by Matt Hardy.
01:13:27Wait a minute.
01:13:28It's Crash.
01:13:29It's Crash.
01:13:30What's he doing?
01:13:31Down to two and he breaks up the three count.
01:13:32What's he doing at it?
01:13:34Crash.
01:13:35Wait a minute.
01:13:36Crash with a cover on Matt Hardy.
01:13:38It's over.
01:13:39What?
01:13:40It's over.
01:13:41You're right.
01:13:42You did it.
01:13:43Here is your winner and the new World Wrestling Federation Hardcore Champion, Chris Holly.
01:13:51The Houdini of Hardcore escapes the game.
01:13:54I can't believe it.
01:13:55The match was between the Hardys, but the Hardcore titles defended 24-7.
01:14:00Flash won again.
01:14:03I just don't want anybody getting spooked.
01:14:06Spooked.
01:14:07I'm getting tired of this.
01:14:08Nobody is getting spooked.
01:14:09Don't tell me you're not getting spooked.
01:14:10You and Shane just fired somebody.
01:14:12All right, sir, sir.
01:14:13I have a delivery.
01:14:15I have a delivery.
01:14:16I have a delivery right outside for you.
01:14:17A delivery?
01:14:18Hey.
01:14:19A special delivery for Mr. Vince McMahon.
01:14:20Dad.
01:14:21This is it.
01:14:22You girls stay here.
01:14:24Triple H, Shane.
01:14:25Here's the list right out front.
01:14:26That's it.
01:14:27This is delivery.
01:14:28Okay.
01:14:29Yeah.
01:14:30Special delivery.
01:14:31This is what you do.
01:14:32He's trying to set us up.
01:14:33All right.
01:14:34Here's how it goes.
01:14:35Let me do it.
01:14:36Listen.
01:14:37You bait him.
01:14:38I'll bait him.
01:14:39You come out front and you bait him.
01:14:40Shane now again from the center.
01:14:41All right.
01:14:42Okay.
01:14:43Don't worry.
01:14:44Uh-huh.
01:14:45You go.
01:14:46We'll get to the sides.
01:14:48Come on, Austin!
01:14:51Hey, Austin, come on!
01:14:54Hey!
01:14:55Where the hell?
01:14:56What was this?
01:14:57I got four yards, the best cement...
01:15:10for you, Mr. McMahon.
01:15:12Cement?
01:15:13Yeah, it's supposed to go in a Corvette.
01:15:15A Corvette?
01:15:16Three-yard cement?
01:15:17A Corvette.
01:15:18It's supposed to be part in a Corvette?
01:15:20Absolutely.
01:15:21That's funny.
01:15:22Corvette!
01:15:23That's what I was told, sir.
01:15:25Get the hell out of here!
01:15:27Get your truck and get the hell out of here!
01:15:30You're lost!
01:15:31He's back inside.
01:15:33He made it.
01:15:34He made it in switches.
01:15:35He's back inside, Gavin!
01:15:37Oh, it's going to be great to see you, son.
01:15:39Yeah, how you feeling?
01:15:40Feeling pretty good?
01:15:41I'll tell you what, everybody is talking about it.
01:15:44Everybody's talking about it.
01:15:45Sunday is going to be a tremendous day.
01:15:48Yeah.
01:15:49Yeah, D.C.
01:15:50Hold on.
01:15:52What the hell are you talking to?
01:15:55Are you talking to Stone Cold Steve Austin?
01:15:57No, I'm not talking to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
01:15:59Don't lie to me!
01:16:00Are you talking to Austin?
01:16:01I'm talking to my cousin.
01:16:03My cousin's coming to Backlash.
01:16:05All you guys.
01:16:07Yeah.
01:16:08I'll tell you what, if you were talking to Austin,
01:16:10you're not now.
01:16:11Fellas look paranoid, aren't you?
01:16:12There's a reason for that.
01:16:13Okay, D.C.
01:16:14Let me ask you a question.
01:16:15What?
01:16:16You're an intelligent hand.
01:16:17Yeah?
01:16:18Will you finally admit that Stone Cold Steve Austin has the McMahon-Hemsley regime running
01:16:19paranoid here tonight?
01:16:20I mean, J.R. was having an innocent conversation on the telephone.
01:16:21They almost beat the hell out of him.
01:16:22Well, J.R., you know what?
01:16:23He deserves that any time he's talking on the telephone.
01:16:27But I'm going to say this.
01:16:28I don't think the McMahon-Hemsley regime is better.
01:16:29They're being cautious.
01:16:30They're being careful.
01:16:31You can't be too careful these days.
01:16:32D.C.
01:16:33D.C.
01:16:34D.C.
01:16:35D.C.
01:16:36D.C.
01:16:37D.C.
01:16:38D.C.
01:16:39D.C.
01:16:40D.C.
01:16:41D.C.
01:16:42D.C.
01:16:43D.C.
01:16:44D.C.
01:16:45D.C.
01:16:46D.C.

01:16:52D.C.
01:16:53D.C.
01:16:54D.C.
01:16:55D.C.
01:16:56D.C.
01:16:578 o'clock, 7 central, the UPN special, WWF Greatest Hits 2.
01:17:04Tomorrow night.
01:17:04Tomorrow night, guess who hosts it?
01:17:06Who?
01:17:07Because the King and the Cat.
01:17:09Oh, it's great.
01:17:10Well, tune in to see the Cat as Steve Blackman kicks things off against The Godfather.
01:17:14So, you mean two nights in a row with the King on UPN?
01:17:16Oh, man.
01:17:17Can you stand it?
01:17:19And a lethal weapon, Steve Blackman hammering away on The Godfather.
01:17:22Blackman apparently divorcing himself from Al Snow Sunday night on Heat,
01:17:27but Al Snow tonight, King, was trying to get back in Blackman's good graces.
01:17:31Right.
01:17:31Al Snow's the best thing that ever happened to Blackman.
01:17:34I mean, come on, let's face it.
01:17:35Blackman needs to realize he's got zero charisma.
01:17:42And Godfather's in control.
01:17:43Who's had a tough past week?
01:17:47D'Lo Brown.
01:17:49I don't think The Godfather ever has a tough week.
01:17:51Well, D'Lo last week turned his back on The Godfather.
01:17:53Wouldn't you love to be The Godfather?
01:17:56Oh, what a kick to the midsection.
01:17:57Maybe not right now.
01:17:58Be nice for a night.
01:18:00As Blackman delivers that kick to the midsection of The Godfather,
01:18:03whips him into the corner,
01:18:04and Steve Blackman with a kick to the back of the head.
01:18:06Got the lady in the white.
01:18:08Yeah, you always told me that white was your favorite color, King.
01:18:12What do you think Austin's gonna do tonight when he shows up?
01:18:15I'm begging you, Michael.
01:18:17What?
01:18:17Give me a break.
01:18:18Rock, Garrett, Damteet, Austin would be here.
01:18:20And all the clues are there.
01:18:21The evidence is matted.
01:18:23The Rattlesnake is somewhere in this building.
01:18:25Are you trying to convince me or yourself?
01:18:27You know I'm right.
01:18:28I'm pretty much convinced.
01:18:30I don't think you're right at all.
01:18:32That didn't take much.
01:18:33And I'll tell you who also believes it.
01:18:35The McMahon-Helmsley regime believes Austin is near somewhere.
01:18:38Wait a minute.
01:18:39Oh, baby.
01:18:41Woo-hoo!
01:18:41Here comes the chain.
01:18:43Here comes the chain.
01:18:44Is that, that sounds small.
01:18:47It looks like Blackman.
01:18:50Al Snow in black pants with nunchucks.
01:18:53And a kick to the chest by Blackman.
01:18:56By his holy nation, the winner is The Godfather.
01:19:00Well, Al Snow just cost Steve Blackman a match.
01:19:04Look at the look.
01:19:05You look of Al Snow.
01:19:07There's so many freaky things, girl.
01:19:14You know, I mean, it's just a...
01:19:15What is that?
01:19:18What is that?
01:19:20That's nothing.
01:19:21I don't know.
01:19:22It's another recorder.
01:19:23Shane, be careful.
01:19:24I don't know if it's another recorder.
01:19:26It's just like the other...
01:19:27That's my bag, damn it.
01:19:29No, no, Shane!
01:19:30No, no, no!
01:19:30Don't do that for play six!
01:19:32It's a recorder!
01:19:33Wait a minute!
01:19:35What the hell's going on?
01:19:37What's going on in there?
01:19:38It's a snake!
01:19:40It's a damn rattlesnake!
01:19:42Now what?
01:19:43A limo arriving.
01:19:45Maybe Austin's in the limo.
01:19:46Maybe...
01:19:47Maybe...
01:19:47It's The Rock!
01:19:48The Rock's back!
01:19:50The Rock's back!
01:19:51And now, the WWF Smack of the Night, presented by Milk, with nine essential nutrients for active
01:19:58bodies.
01:19:59Got Milk?
01:20:00Gulp it down.
01:20:01The Rock guarantees that Austin is here tonight!
01:20:06Woo!
01:20:07What?
01:20:08Can I call you a damn liar?
01:20:10Austin doesn't have the grapefruits!
01:20:12Yeah, the grapefruits!
01:20:13Who wants in your pathetic life?
01:20:15Why don't you just shut your mouth, Vince?
01:20:20Okay, I have no idea why the McMahon-Hounsley regime are on their way out here tonight, but
01:20:26I can guarantee you this, the man who's driving them crazy, the man who's driving them nuts,
01:20:31the man who's made of paranoia, so-called Steve Austin, will be in The Rock's corner at
01:20:37Better Class, when The Rock meets Triple H, Sunday night.
01:20:42Well, WWF Backlash is presented by the Motorola, provides maximum protection.
01:20:47Castro's GTX, drive hard.
01:20:50Backlash is live in just three days, this Sunday, exclusively on pay-per-view from the
01:20:54Soul Belt MCI Center in Washington, D.C.
01:20:57Well, the McMahon-Hounsley regime, King, does not look pleased.
01:21:01Let me get right down to this, I'm sick and tired of all these games, let me tell you one
01:21:06thing, Austin, if this is you, I'm tired of this Austin 316, so McMahon 316 says, if you
01:21:13are here, why don't you come down in this ring, and we'll all welcome you back to the World
01:21:17Wrestling Federation right now.
01:21:19They're hot, you can't make it any plainer than that.
01:21:23If you're here, show yourself, Rattlesnake.
01:21:27The Rock guaranteed Austin is here.
01:21:29Austin, if you're here, I promise you, I'll ask every one of my family members to leave
01:21:37the ring.
01:21:37What?
01:21:38Yeah, right.
01:21:38It'll just be you and me, Stone Cold.
01:21:42Yeah, right.
01:21:43That's the way it should be.
01:21:45That's fair.
01:21:46Come on, Austin, if you're here, come on out.
01:21:53Where are your guts, Austin, come on, come on, bring it, Austin, come on.
01:22:00I told you he wasn't here.
01:22:02Mr. McMahon is livid.
01:22:03He's not, he's not.
01:22:05Dammit, give me this.
01:22:07Austin!
01:22:07Uh-oh.
01:22:13All right, you've been back one damn day, supposedly, and I'm already sick to death
01:22:19of you.
01:22:20So, Austin, man to man, I am talking to you.
01:22:28Stone Cold Steve Austin.
01:22:30This is the game.
01:22:32This is Triple H.
01:22:33I am the World Wrestling Federation Champion, and I am telling you to get your ass out here
01:22:41now.
01:22:42I don't think I've ever seen Triple H this irate.
01:22:47If he's here, he should show his face.
01:22:49I believe Austin's here.
01:22:51Where is he?
01:22:54Stone Cold is so unpredictable, King.
01:22:56You know that.
01:22:58The Rattlesnake could strike at any moment.
01:23:01I'm telling you, I think that's what's all it means.
01:23:04You know what?
01:23:07He's either not here.
01:23:08He's either not in this building, or Steve Austin is a chicken.
01:23:16I can guarantee you he ain't that.
01:23:20Well, it's one of the two.
01:23:25That's what I thought.
01:23:27I'll tell you what, though.
01:23:30Yeah, after all that, he's not gonna spoil this little party, because I know somebody that
01:23:36is here.
01:23:37Rock.
01:23:38Uh-oh.
01:23:39That's right.
01:23:41Rock's back.
01:23:42I know you're back in the building, Rock.
01:23:44And I'll tell you what.
01:23:46I know I told you to take the night off.
01:23:49I know I told you I was tired of you.
01:23:53But I changed my damn mind.
01:23:55Rock.
01:23:58Like you said, it's not gonna matter if it's one-on-one.
01:24:02Hell, it's not gonna matter if it's four-on-one.
01:24:05It's not gonna matter, right?
01:24:06So I'll tell you what.
01:24:09Why don't you walk your ass down this ramp right now and face me like a man, Rock?
01:24:16Now?
01:24:17Come on, Rock.
01:24:18Right now?
01:24:19Let's do it now.
01:24:20Triple H is calling out The Rock.
01:24:24Come on, Rock.
01:24:25Let's get it on.
01:24:25Go ahead.
01:24:26Chance for your people's champ.
01:24:28Triple H is challenging The Rock.
01:24:35What a way to wait on Sunday at Backlash.
01:24:37Watch The Rock now.
01:24:40Now, I guess just like Austin, the people's champ is nothing but a chicken.
01:24:50I can guarantee you that ain't right either.
01:24:56If this man...
01:24:58Wait a minute.
01:24:58The Rock is coming.
01:25:05The Rock is answering the challenge.
01:25:10Come on, get in, Rock.
01:25:12Sunday at Pay Per View, The Rock and Triple H, one-on-one.
01:25:19Come on, Rock, we don't have to wait till Sunday.
01:25:22Uh-oh, talk to the hand.
01:25:25Listen to this, Michael.
01:25:36It is deafening in Charlotte.
01:25:43The Rock promised that Stone Cold was gonna be here tonight.
01:25:48He did do that!
01:25:53Oh, my gosh.
01:25:54And The Rock is a man and a half living up to his word
01:25:57and always keeps his promises.
01:26:00Oh, my gosh.
01:26:02Stone Cold's gonna be here then.
01:26:05Now, all night long, The Rock has thoroughly enjoyed
01:26:09watching all your candy asses get confused, get paranoid.
01:26:17The beer, the rattlesnake.
01:26:20The only regret is that the rattlesnake didn't bite one of you
01:26:24and your candy asses.
01:26:25Oh!
01:26:30Shane McMahon beating up the cardboard cutout of Stone Cold.
01:26:37He did punch it out.
01:26:38Real tough.
01:26:40Triple H beating up the Stone Cold look-alike
01:26:42in a bathroom.
01:26:43Well, who do you think The Rock is?
01:26:49The Rock doesn't dress like Stone Cold.
01:26:56The Rock doesn't talk like Stone Cold.
01:27:00The Rock doesn't even look like Stone Cold.
01:27:04But he looks like Stone Cold.
01:27:12What?
01:27:15King!
01:27:16Stone Cold!
01:27:17It's Stone Cold!
01:27:19Where is he?
01:27:20It's Austin, but where is he?
01:27:22Hell, I understand you jackass has been looking for me.
01:27:25Hell, I'm out in the parking lot.
01:27:27I've been in and out all night long.
01:27:30There seems to be some concern over whose side Stone Cold Steve Austin
01:27:34is gonna be on this Sunday at Backlash.
01:27:37Will Stone Cold Steve Austin be looking to favor Triple H?
01:27:41Or will Stone Cold Steve Austin be on the side of The Rock?
01:27:45That's an easy one for Stone Cold to answer because the answer to that is
01:27:49I'm gonna be on the side I've always been on, and that's mine.
01:27:54But what I've got right now is a little demonstration for you
01:27:57to any one of you little grubby bastards
01:28:00that thinks they're gonna get their hands on Stone Cold Steve Austin.
01:28:04You see, there's a lot of people out there that are good at construction.
01:28:08A lot of people are good at building things with their hands.
01:28:11Hell, it seems the only thing I've ever been good at is tearing s*** up.
01:28:16Basically, I guess what I'm saying is I'm good at deconstruction.
01:28:20What?
01:28:21So what we got here is my own little toy,
01:28:26and Stone Cold Steve Austin's got just a little example
01:28:28of what might happen if anybody gets their little grubby meat hooks on me.
01:28:33Where is he, King? He's in the parking lot.
01:28:37Oh, that's what I like to hear.
01:28:39What the hell is he doing?
01:28:40Wait a minute.
01:28:44That's the DX Express!
01:28:48Holy cow!
01:28:50Do you believe that?
01:28:51The DX Express bus just exploded!
01:28:55The fire!
01:28:55Anybody that tries to mess with Stone Cold Steve Austin
01:28:58this Sunday has backlash,
01:29:01and that's the bottom line,
01:29:02because Stone Cold sits up!
01:29:05It's a bomb of the DX Express!
01:29:09Oh, hell yeah!
01:29:11Stone Cold is back!
01:29:14Austin 360 says I just dressed your fuss!
01:29:20The Mid-A-King and Backlash,
01:29:23untamed from you,
01:29:25could be the rock's night
01:29:26of Stone Cold sex zone!
01:29:29And as great said I'd do
