00:01:59Hey, Hunter, will you take Stephanie for your wife?

00:02:04Oh, you know I do

00:02:05And Stephanie, will you take Hunter for your husband?

00:02:08Oh, yes I do

00:02:10Get a nice shot of the brand new Mr. and Mrs. Hunter Thurston Elfstein

00:02:17Stephanie and Triple H are married

00:02:20I know that you can only have one question on your mind, Dad

00:02:27Oh, my God

00:02:29I hate you

00:02:30And that is

00:02:31I hate you

00:02:33Not did we, but how many times did we consummate the marriage?

00:02:38My God, I cannot believe that

00:02:40Triple H has married Stephanie McMahon

00:02:44For God's sake

00:02:47My God, I can't believe this

00:02:49Unbelievable

00:02:59Now you bash his head in with the bat

00:03:01You're talking five years

00:03:02Is that what you want?

00:03:07If you're doing this

00:03:11That's it

00:03:45You provide

00:03:46For you

00:03:47to try

00:03:48To know

00:03:48Three days removed from Tess and Stephanie McMahon's wedding nightmare.

00:04:15We welcome you to WWF SmackDown from the sold out Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California.

00:04:23I'm Michael Cole along with Jerry the King Lawler.

00:04:26Wait a minute.

00:04:26Who's that?

00:04:27I can't, Stephanie McMahon's coming out here.

00:04:30Stephanie McMahon is on her way down to the ring and

00:04:33King, can you imagine what this poor young lady has had to endure over the past few days?

00:04:39Listen to these, these people are actually booing Stephanie.

00:04:43I'm gonna tell you something, you know, we always say anything can happen in the World

00:04:46Wrestling Federation.

00:04:47I thought I'd seen it all, Michael, but I ain't never seen nothing like this.

00:04:51Stephanie McMahon did absolutely nothing wrong.

00:04:53She is legally married.

00:04:55Wait, wait, wait, hold it.

00:04:55What, now say that again?

00:04:56She did nothing wrong.

00:04:58Triple H.

00:04:58She's legally married to Triple H.

00:05:00Triple H tricked her into that, King.

00:05:02You are right about that.

00:05:03She is legally married to Triple H.

00:05:05Triple H tricked her into it.

00:05:06How do you know that?

00:05:07Let's hear it, let's get the straight scoop right now.

00:05:18I'd like to ask my brother and my father to come to the ring.

00:05:25Because I have something to say to them.

00:05:30I have something to say to my friends and my family.

00:05:35I have something to say to my fiance.

00:05:42And I have something to say to all of you.

00:05:50Enough is enough, okay?

00:05:52Enough is enough.

00:05:54This is gonna get you nowhere, absolutely nowhere.

00:05:57Chill out, calm down, give me the bat.

00:06:01Give me the bat.

00:06:03Put the bat in my hand.

00:06:04Guys, guys, let's go, please.

00:06:06Stephanie needs y'all.

00:06:07She's in the ring, she's calling for you.

00:06:08She's calling for you.

00:06:09She's where?

00:06:10She's in the middle of the ring.

00:06:11I think she needs you guys, let's go.

00:06:13It's your daughter.

00:06:14She's in the ring.

00:06:16The only person that I have to blame is myself.

00:06:20And I accept full responsibility for everything that happens in Las Vegas.

00:06:31I should have known better.

00:06:38I shouldn't have partied so hard.

00:06:42I shouldn't have drank so much.

00:06:45And I certainly shouldn't have taken that last drink from a bartender I didn't even know.

00:06:51Who I now know was working for Triple H.

00:06:58I know I was drugged.

00:07:01I don't remember anything that happened shortly after I took that drink.

00:07:06I don't even remember how I got to my hotel room.

00:07:13I was just as shocked as anyone last Monday night on Raw when Triple H aired the video of us getting married.

00:07:27I felt disgusted.

00:07:34I felt cheap.

00:07:36And I felt violated.

00:07:42I was underpassing my age to be recently ajetICenin'e, college in Casanova,

00:07:44college in Casanova,iorfar.

00:07:47I would like to publicly apologize to those whom I might have hurt.

00:07:52And especially my friends and my family and my fiancé Andrew.

00:08:00I only hope that Andrew can maybe find it in his heart to forgive me.

00:08:10But as far as Triple H is concerned, I will never forgive him for wrecking my life.

00:08:26You used me as a tool, Triple H.

00:08:30You wanted to hurt my father, and guess what?

00:08:35It worked, he's crushed.

00:08:39So I have one piece of advice for you, Triple H.

00:08:43What goes around, comes around.

00:08:50Well, here comes Shane McMahon, Stephanie's brother along with her father,

00:08:54Vince McMahon, on their way down to the ring.

00:08:56And King, you have to admit, it took a hell of a lot of guts to do what Stephanie McMahon

00:09:01just did here on SmackDown.

00:09:03Boy, look at the expression on Vince's face.

00:09:06He's still got that ball bat in his hand.

00:09:08Can you imagine the emotions of father and son over the past few days after what they witnessed

00:09:13during that beautiful wedding ceremony on Raw this past Monday Night King?

00:09:17Dad, Shane, I've asked you to come to the ring because I know what your intentions are, and it's not what I want.

00:09:36Dad, you and my big brother have coddled me and protected me all my life, but it's time for me to stand on my own.

00:09:55I got myself into this, and I'll get myself out.

00:10:07No, I want you both to promise me, you both need to promise me that you will let me handle this my way.

00:10:14So that, so that maybe I can hold on to some, some shred of integrity.

00:10:27Shane, will you promise me, please promise me?

00:10:35I promise.

00:10:36Dad.

00:10:39Dad, please promise me, please, I need to do this on my own.

00:10:47Daddy, Daddy, if you love me, if you love me, you'll promise me.

00:10:54Promise her, what is your problem?

00:10:57Don't you see she's asking for this?

00:10:59What is your, promise her.

00:11:02She wants to do it her way, you gotta respect that.

00:11:07Promise.

00:11:08I promise.

00:11:09Okay, Vince reluctantly promising to allow Stephanie McMahon to handle this situation on her own,

00:11:19and what a moment for the McMahon family here on SmackDown.

00:11:22Wait a minute, wait a minute, come on.

00:11:24What does she mean she's gonna handle it on her, what is Stephanie McMahon gonna do?

00:11:28How is she gonna handle this on her own?

00:11:30She's a proud woman, she wants to correct what she believes was a mistake.

00:11:35Well, folks, we're at the Sold Out Arrowhead Pond here in Anaheim for WWF SmackDown,

00:11:40and tonight it's gonna be a war.

00:11:42Rock and Al Snow, wait a minute.

00:11:44I need to see Tori tonight.

00:11:47I told her I could beat Kane.

00:11:49I'm gonna roll.

00:11:51Boy, when I see Tori tonight, it's gonna be a night she's gonna never forget.

00:11:59Wait a minute.

00:12:01The Big Red Machine, Kane.

00:12:03He was scheduled to take on Viscera in a match tonight.

00:12:06I guess he's starting it early, Kane.

00:12:08My God.

00:12:09Kane didn't accept what Viscera said about his girlfriend Tori.

00:12:13Oh, man.

00:12:15And now, the WWF Boot of the Week, brought to you by Lugz.

00:12:20Tough boots built for the city.

00:12:22That's Lugz.

00:12:23Look at Tori, what's she doing?

00:12:25Tori like an explanation.

00:12:26Oh, can you, come on.

00:12:28What the hell is that about?

00:12:31That was no accident.

00:12:32X-Pac just kicked Tori right in the face, King.

00:12:36Oh, come on.

00:12:37I cannot believe the audacity of X-Pac.

00:12:41That was the WWF Food of the Week, brought to you by Lugz.

00:12:45Boots and jeans with Attitude.

00:12:47Lugz, decide and conquer.

00:12:50Well, Kane and Viscera have been going at it during the break.

00:12:53And look at Viscera hammering away on the Big Red Machine, Kane.

00:12:56This was a scheduled matchup here tonight.

00:12:59Kane started things off when Viscera was freshening up a little bit for Kane's girlfriend.

00:13:03Yeah, Viscera couldn't wait to get his hands on or at least let Tori see him.

00:13:07But Kane saw him first.

00:13:08They fought all the way from Viscera's dressing room to the ring now.

00:13:11And here we go now.

00:13:12The match has officially started.

00:13:13Viscera and the Big Red Machine, Kane, you just saw in the Lugz Food of the Week,

00:13:17X-Pac's spin kick to Tori.

00:13:19Now, rumors are that Tori isn't here tonight under Doctor's order.

00:13:23She's still recuperating after that spin kick by X-Pac.

00:13:27Well, I'll tell you, that knocked Tori for a loop.

00:13:30But I'll tell you, Tori has knocked Kane for a loop and also Viscera.

00:13:34I think Viscera is as smitten with Tori as Kane is.

00:13:37My gosh.

00:13:38What an enziguri by Kane, didn't knock Viscera off his feet.

00:13:41However, here comes the Big Red Machine.

00:13:44Man, what a belly to belly by Viscera.

00:13:48That may do it.

00:13:49The Big Red Machine sits back up.

00:13:56Viscera can't believe it.

00:13:58Kane with that knife-edged chop underneath the chin.

00:14:01And there's another one to the big man Viscera.

00:14:04And Kane now is rolling.

00:14:05Viscera off the ropes.

00:14:07No.

00:14:08Look out, Viscera.

00:14:09Here comes Kane now, look out.

00:14:11Kane up over the top and outside the ring, but he landed on his feet.

00:14:14Tremendous balance by the big man.

00:14:16Look at Viscera, he's not intimidated.

00:14:18And Kane hung him up on the top rope.

00:14:21And watch the agility of this near 320 pounder.

00:14:26Kane nearly seven foot tall, top rope, caught Viscera.

00:14:30Knocked the near 500 pounder down.

00:14:32Wow, Kane with that flying clothesline.

00:14:36Uh-oh.

00:14:37Kane.

00:14:38Wait a minute.

00:14:40I'd like to say-

00:14:42That's X-Pac.

00:14:45That when I spin kicked your old lady's head off, that was an accident.

00:14:52But quite frankly, I can't say that at all.

00:14:57Because you see, it was so intentional.

00:15:03The audacity of X-Pac continues to goad Kane.

00:15:07Wait a minute.

00:15:08Kane, he just got counted out of his match.

00:15:10The winner of this match to the result of a count out, Viscera.

00:15:14X-Pac has cost Kane another match up.

00:15:17Wait a minute now.

00:15:18Yeah, Viscera.

00:15:19Sore loser.

00:15:20And Kane's gonna take out all his penipulation on Viscera.

00:15:24And I wouldn't wanna be in Viscera's shoes right now.

00:15:27Man.

00:15:28I don't think I'd wanna be in X-Pac's shoes at Armageddon either.

00:15:33No.

00:15:34He's not gonna try it, is he?

00:15:35Toe-

00:15:36Slam by Kane on Viscera.

00:15:38Look it, X-Pac is back.

00:15:41And it's- Uh-oh.

00:15:46An apparent-

00:15:49An obvious message, King, sent by Kane to X-Pac in ten days in Armageddon on pay-per-view.

00:15:57Viscera could be X-Pac.

00:15:59Is the end near for X-Pac?

00:16:01I would say the end is near for someone.

00:16:06I would not wanna be in X-Pac's shoes about right now.

00:16:12You know- Uh-oh.

00:16:14Jeez.

00:16:16That's right.

00:16:17Do the people's elbow.

00:16:18Come on.

00:16:19Throw the elbow.

00:16:20Hey, go back down to the rocks.

00:16:21Throw it off.

00:16:22Throw it to the people's.

00:16:23This is great.

00:16:24Throw it around.

00:16:25Do that stupid run.

00:16:26Jump over time, dude.

00:16:27Oh, my God.

00:16:28Look at that.

00:16:29One more time.

00:16:30One more time.

00:16:31One more time.

00:16:32That's it.

00:16:33And we'll just back it out one more time.

00:16:36It's a misunderstanding, idiot.

00:16:38It's not a misunderstanding.

00:16:39It's right there, crystal clear, black and white, wearing color, whatever you wanna say.

00:16:44He did that on purpose.

00:16:46As always, the egotistical jerk took advantage of me coming down to help you.

00:16:51I want you to know that I'm gonna do exactly what I've wanted to do for the last couple weeks.

00:16:55And I'm not gonna be all responsible because I'm gonna take his height apart tonight.

00:16:59And I'm not gonna be held accountable for whatever I end up doing.

00:17:03I gotta get out of here, Al.

00:17:04Rocky!

00:17:05I think the great ones are just from here.

00:17:07Is the rock in here?

00:17:08Is that Shania?

00:17:09My daughter loves her.

00:17:10She's a heck of an entertainer.

00:17:11But not as entertaining as the rock.

00:17:12Do you know what I'm talking about?

00:17:13Have you seen it?

00:17:14I don't blame him.

00:17:15The guy's great with kids.

00:17:16And when he lifts that eyebrow, people just love him.

00:17:17But listen, I'll tell you what.

00:17:18If you see the rock, just kind of let him know the other half of the connection was looking

00:17:20for him.

00:17:21Okay?

00:17:22Thanks a lot and have a nice day.

00:17:23Okay.

00:17:24Rocky!

00:17:25You think you know me?

00:17:26You wonder if you think so.

00:17:27Oh, Mankind looking for the people's champion, the rock.

00:17:28He's white candy.

00:17:29I'm not quite sure why he's looking for him, but maybe he has something to do with Al

00:17:32Snow.

00:17:33Shit.

00:17:34Oh, shit.

00:17:35Oh, man.

00:17:36Oh, man.

00:17:37Oh, man.

00:17:38Oh, man.

00:17:39Oh, man.

00:17:40Oh, man.

00:17:41Oh, man.

00:17:42Oh, man.

00:17:43Oh, man.

00:17:44Oh, man.

00:17:45Oh, man.

00:17:46Oh, man.

00:17:47Oh, man.

00:17:48Oh, man.

00:17:49Oh, man.

00:17:50Oh, man.

00:17:51Oh, man.

00:17:52Oh, man.

00:17:53Oh, man.

00:17:54Shit.

00:17:55The Rock will take on Al Snow one-on-one a little bit later on tonight on SmackDown as Edge

00:18:00and Christian make their way to the ring for tag team action.

00:18:05Where do these guys come from?

00:18:07It's all about a team company.

00:18:09He's going to be stable for one fall.

00:18:11In the ring, runs around Canada.

00:18:13Had a combined weight of 450-mile pound, Christian and Edge.

00:18:19I mean, listen to the ovation for these guys.

00:18:21Why do you think the fans love him so much?

00:18:23Is it because they hang out with the fans?

00:18:25They must dress in the restroom or something.

00:18:27Every time they come to the ring, they come through the fans.

00:18:30And they're punished.

00:18:32Out of the line with a 568 pounds.

00:18:36Bubba Ray and Neva the Dudley Boy.

00:18:41Well, last Monday on Raw came the Dudley Boys and Acolytes were involved in a game of five cards Raw.

00:18:47Bubba Ray claimed he actually won the game with six aces.

00:18:50Six aces?

00:18:51That's what he said.

00:18:52That's what happens when you have the hand of six aces against the Acolytes.

00:18:56Oh, boy.

00:18:57Well, all hell broke loose back in the cafeteria area.

00:19:01The Dudley Boys and Acolytes going at it.

00:19:03And this should be a tremendous tag team matchup.

00:19:06Devon Dudley starting things off against Edge.

00:19:10Side headlock by Edge goes around behind the back of Devon.

00:19:14And there is a reversal by the Dudley Boys.

00:19:16It's red hot tonight at the sold out Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California.

00:19:21Nice knock down by Devon.

00:19:24Up over the top, leapfrog by Edge.

00:19:26Big hip toss by Edge as well.

00:19:28There's the drop kick.

00:19:29You know what, Michael?

00:19:30I just can't help but keep thinking about what Stephanie McMahon said.

00:19:33I mean, she says she got herself into this problem and she's gonna take care of it herself.

00:19:38She's gonna get herself out of it.

00:19:39What do you think she means by that?

00:19:40I don't know, but she's gonna confront her fiancé, or her former fiancé, Tess,

00:19:44if he doesn't show up here tonight.

00:19:46What in the world do you think Stephanie McMahon's gonna say to Tess?

00:19:49No!

00:19:50My!

00:19:51If you were in her position-

00:19:52Wait a minute.

00:19:53What would you say if you were in his position, how would you react?

00:19:56I can't even relate to that.

00:19:57Here's a cover now by Christian, kick out after two.

00:19:59I don't relate to marriage stuff.

00:20:02Devon off the ropes, ripped off the other side.

00:20:04Christian misses with a right hand.

00:20:05And look at Devon with a nice shoulder tackle of Christian.

00:20:09Things are hot here tonight on SmackDown.

00:20:11They're gonna be hot when SmackDown comes to Tallahassee on December 14th.

00:20:14Tickets are still available.

00:20:16And this coming Sunday, the WWF is live in Hartford, Connecticut, and in Albany, New York.

00:20:22And you're talking Tallahassee, Florida, right?

00:20:23You got it.

00:20:24Yeah.

00:20:25Bubba Ray, elbow to the head of Christian, and the Dudley boys are cooking here.

00:20:29Another right hand by Bubba Ray.

00:20:33Right here.

00:20:34Whoa.

00:20:38My.

00:20:39Nice take down by Christian, and Edge follows it up with a right hand.

00:20:42Tag Team Division, the World Wrestling Federation, highly competitive, New Age Outlaws,

00:20:46the Tag Team Champions.

00:20:47Rock and Sock Connection, the number one contenders.

00:20:50Those two teams meet.

00:20:51My.

00:20:52Sunday, December 12th, and Armageddon on Pay Per View.

00:20:55And Bubba Ray with a shot on Edge.

00:20:59And look out now, Bubba Ray setting Christian up.

00:21:02Devon's climbing the ropes.

00:21:03My God.

00:21:04He doesn't see it.

00:21:05Wow.

00:21:06Torpedo to the lower extremities of Christian.

00:21:09Lower extremities, is that what you call that?

00:21:12You know, both of these teams, the Dudley boys and Edge and Christian involved in that 16-man Tag Team Battle Royal.

00:21:18Here's a cover now, and a kick out after two.

00:21:21That Battle Royal to take place in Armageddon a week from this Sunday on Pay Per View.

00:21:25You know the winners of that Battle Royal get a shot at the Tag Team Titles at the Royal Rumble.

00:21:30That's gonna be great.

00:21:31Devon just waited a little bit too long with that cover there, or the Dudleys would have won this match by now.

00:21:37Elbow by Devon.

00:21:39Second rope, Christian in a bit of trouble here.

00:21:41Devon up over the top, Sunset Flip, hooks the leg, Christian rolls out.

00:21:45And reverses Devon now into a Boston Crab.

00:21:49Edge into the ring, referee distracted, and Bubba Ray breaks it up.

00:21:53Devon rolls into the cover now, hooks the leg, referee Tim White down, there's two.

00:21:57No!

00:21:58Almost had the three count, Christian popped out.

00:22:00Yeah, Christian needs to make a tag or this is gonna be over.

00:22:03Uh-oh.

00:22:08Bubba Ray couldn't quite spit it out as Devon tags him in.

00:22:12And here's a double team again by the Dudley boys.

00:22:15That's my right hand!

00:22:16You piece of-

00:22:17I don't know what's wrong with Bubba Ray, but I bet it's hard to pronounce.

00:22:22Bubba Ray headbutt to Christian as well.

00:22:25Bubba Ray and Devon are, well they're half brothers.

00:22:29They got the same father.

00:22:31Right.

00:22:32Obviously different mothers, right?

00:22:33Right.

00:22:34Like twin brothers from different mothers.

00:22:36My, what a clothesline by Bubba Ray.

00:22:40Christian's in desperate need of a tag by Edge.

00:22:43Cover by Bubba Ray.

00:22:44Shoulder up by Christian and Bubba Ray, well he thought it was a slow count.

00:22:48Hey, you were asking me about relating to Stephanie McMahon and that sort of marriage stuff.

00:22:52You're married.

00:22:53Yeah, I don't know how- You're real, you're so hit-

00:22:55In fact, you're cackling asleep.

00:22:56How do you relate to that?

00:22:57I don't know how I would react to this situation.

00:22:59I mean, I believe, it wasn't Stephanie.

00:23:01What a cross body that time.

00:23:04Flying tackle by Christian.

00:23:06Can he make a tag down to Edge?

00:23:08Can Bubba Ray get to the corner to Devon?

00:23:10Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up.

00:23:12Devon into the ring.

00:23:13Here comes Edge.

00:23:14Tag was made, referee never saw it.

00:23:16Gotta see it to call it, Michael.

00:23:18I didn't see it either.

00:23:19Bubba Ray and Devon doing a good job to distract the referee.

00:23:22Never saw the tag between Christian and Edge and now Devon in the ring.

00:23:25Uh-oh.

00:23:26Christian perched on the top rope.

00:23:31Devon up, Christian now, those right hands to the ribs of Devon.

00:23:34Uh-oh.

00:23:35Knocks him off, lands on his feet.

00:23:37Christian kicked to the midsection.

00:23:39Look out now, from the second row.

00:23:41My, what a maneuver by Christian.

00:23:43Devon's in trouble.

00:23:44That may do it for Devon.

00:23:45He's done in, I believe.

00:23:48Reverse DDT by Christian as he tries to get to a corner, but he's in the wrong corner.

00:23:52Look at Edge, he wants the tag so bad he can taste it.

00:23:54Can he get there?

00:23:55Fans on their feet.

00:23:56Uh-oh.

00:23:57Here comes Bubba Ray, and here comes Edge.

00:23:58And what a right hand by Edge.

00:24:00A momentum shift here for Edge and Christian.

00:24:04Spinning heel kicks out Bubba Ray under the chin.

00:24:07Stoops Devon up and down.

00:24:10My!

00:24:11Bubba Ray just clocked his own brother, Devon.

00:24:14Do you hear the smack?

00:24:15You're on smack now.

00:24:16Bubba Ray moves out of the way.

00:24:18Edge now in the middle of the ring.

00:24:20My!

00:24:21Ballway slam.

00:24:22That may do it.

00:24:23Or if that didn't, this will.

00:24:24Bubba Ray's second rope now.

00:24:25Edge to his feet.

00:24:26Look out Bubba!

00:24:27Edge counters.

00:24:28No.

00:24:29What's he gonna do here?

00:24:30High-risk maneuver, top rope by Edge.

00:24:31My!

00:24:32Wait a minute.

00:24:33Edge's left knee gave out as he came down to the mat with that Hurricanrana.

00:24:35They tore a ligament there.

00:24:36And Edge is in serious pain.

00:24:37You can see it in his face, King.

00:24:38Whoa, he needs to get out of there.

00:24:39Look at this thing.

00:24:40My!

00:24:41He cannot stand on his knee.

00:24:42And Devon with a cover hooks the leg and it's over.

00:24:44Edge can put no pressure on that left knee.

00:24:45Here are your winners.

00:24:46The winners.

00:24:47The Dudley Boy!

00:24:48He couldn't hold Devon up as Devon came out of the corner.

00:24:51And the Dudley boys pick up the victory, and now Christian trying to protect his brother, Edge.

00:25:10And the Dudley boys pick up the victory, and now Christian trying to protect

00:25:15his brother Edge.

00:25:17Look at Bubba Ray going right after that, no, not.

00:25:21And there's the half busted grab on that injured knee of Edge.

00:25:27Devon's gotten rid of Christian, now they're both working on Edge.

00:25:29Now, wait a minute now, here come the Acolytes.

00:25:33The Acolytes with that card game still in their mind.

00:25:36Jason Devon and Bubba Ray, Farouk and Bradshaw after the Dudley boys.

00:25:41Man, I don't think the Acolytes came down here to save Edge.

00:25:44I think they came after the Dudleys.

00:25:46But of more media concern, well, there's Stephanie McMahon.

00:25:50Uh-oh, she's waiting on her former fiance, Tess.

00:25:53What in the world is she gonna say to Tess?

00:25:56I mean, think about what's going on inside her.

00:25:58Think about the bundle of nerves she must be.

00:26:00We're back on SmackDown and King Edge has suffered an injury to his left leg.

00:26:06Let's take a look at what happened as he went from the Hurricanrana on Bubba Ray

00:26:09Dudley from the top rope.

00:26:11Right there, you can see he twisted his knee.

00:26:14I jimmied it.

00:26:16Uh-oh.

00:26:16I jimmied it, I heard it pop.

00:26:17How about it?

00:26:18Oh, man, I popped it, come on.

00:26:22I heard it pop.

00:26:23I jimmied it, man.

00:26:25Well, Edge, he's being attended to by the EMTs.

00:26:29Hopefully we'll have an update on Edge's injury a little bit later on.

00:26:33But here comes D'Lo Brown.

00:26:39D'Lo Brown with a big opportunity tonight to regain the European title.

00:26:44D'Lo Brown's set to take on the Bulldog for the European Championship.

00:26:50In the ring, the challenger from Chicago and all.

00:26:53Weighing in at 268 pounds, D'Lo Brown.

00:26:59And did you say, Michael, they're gonna try to get his word on the exact nature of the

00:27:03injury to Edge back there, right?

00:27:05That's what we're hoping for a little bit later on.

00:27:07So D'Lo Brown's set to take on the Bulldog for the European Championship.

00:27:16I guess he got something to say.

00:27:18Bulldog, I hear you running around the back claiming you're the best damn

00:27:22European champ there's ever been.

00:27:24Well, everybody knows that I'm the only four-time World Wrestling Federation

00:27:29European champ, so I guess that qualifies me as being the best.

00:27:33Now everybody knows that I'm the only person that gave a damn about that title.

00:27:40I'm the only one that brought prestige to it.

00:27:42So Bulldog, what you need to do is bring your jacked up butt down here so

00:27:46I can take my size 13 lugs and stick them where the sun don't shine.

00:27:49Be careful what you ask for.

00:27:55You might get it.

00:27:57And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by the Mean Street Posse from

00:28:03Manchester, England, weighing in at 250 pounds.

00:28:08He is the World Wrestling Federation European champion, the British Bulldog.

00:28:15Yeah, the Bulldog with his run-in bunnies, the Mean Street Posse.

00:28:21You know, it was the Mean Street Posse who was instrumental in helping the Bulldog

00:28:25to beat D'Lo Brown for the European title.

00:28:27These guys are just out here for moral support, Michael.

00:28:30You know, they're not, let's face it, there aren't that many Europeans in the United States.

00:28:35So he needs a little cheering section.

00:28:37And wait a minute, the referee having some words with Joey Abs, Rodney, and Pete Gass, and-

00:28:42What?

00:28:44What's he saying?

00:28:45Looks like he's sending him back.

00:28:49Well, this is great news for D'Lo Brown with the European title on the line.

00:28:52Wait, the ref's taking the Posse out of the game here.

00:28:54This is just not fair.

00:28:55The European title is on the line and

00:28:59D'Lo Brown hammering away on the British Bulldog, who finds himself alone all of a sudden.

00:29:05Here in the ring, D'Lo off the ropes, kick to the face of the Bulldog.

00:29:09Four-time European champion D'Lo Brown misses with the right hand.

00:29:12And look at that takedown by D'Lo.

00:29:15I know the European title means a lot to D'Lo.

00:29:17I know he's very, very proud of it when he won it.

00:29:19But come on, let's face it, he says nobody else gave his prestige.

00:29:23What about the British Bulldog?

00:29:24The people in Europe love the Bulldog, they always have.

00:29:27Not the last time we were in England.

00:29:29And look at this now, D'Lo Brown picking the Bulldog up.

00:29:33Went for the running powerbomb and last counter by the Bulldog.

00:29:36Stephanie McMahon waiting outside the arena, hoping that her former fiance test is

00:29:41going to arrive here tonight on SmackDown.

00:29:43Wait a minute.

00:29:43How can you say that, Michael?

00:29:44What?

00:29:45All you saw was the same thing I saw, same thing everybody else saw.

00:29:48We saw Stephanie McMahon waiting patiently, or waiting impatiently, outside the arena.

00:29:53Who else is she waiting for, King?

00:29:55Duh, she's married, you know, she could be waiting for her husband.

00:29:58You know darn well Stephanie McMahon wants nothing to do with Triple H.

00:30:02She didn't want to be married to him, she hates the man, she was tricked into it.

00:30:05Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, after all Triple H has done to the McMahon family,

00:30:10you can sit there and tell me Stephanie McMahon does not hate Triple H.

00:30:14And look at this, Bulldog tossed over the top rope by D'Lo Brown.

00:30:17Bulldog trying to gain his breath outside the ring.

00:30:22D'Lo wanted to go out after him, and Bulldog favoring his lower back there.

00:30:26And wait a minute, look at this.

00:30:28Referee's back turn, that's Val Venis.

00:30:30Val Venis meets the Bulldog and Armageddon in ten days.

00:30:33And look at Val Venis hammering away.

00:30:35We got Armageddon right here, Michael, look at this.

00:30:37And D'Lo Brown taking exception that Val Venis has interrupted his champ to win

00:30:40the European title, and he's going after Val.

00:30:44Well, I guess D'Lo feels he had that European title locked up.

00:30:48And now D'Lo- I don't know what he's thinking now though.

00:30:51Val Venis whipping D'Lo into the corner, the bells rung, this match is over.

00:30:56But Val Venis has gone after both the Bulldog and D'Lo Brown.

00:31:01My- Well, you're right, this match is over.

00:31:04And if you ask me, I think Val has just cost D'Lo the European title.

00:31:08Well, maybe Val Venis believed D'Lo Brown was gonna win the European title tonight.

00:31:11Val knowing that in ten days in Armageddon,

00:31:14he's got a shot against the Bulldog, didn't want that to happen.

00:31:17Man!

00:31:18Sky high by D'Lo Brown.

00:31:20Well, perhaps that'll teach Val to be involved in D'Lo's business.

00:31:28I think Val was just trying to get a little retribution on the Bulldog for

00:31:32Monday night.

00:31:32So Val Venis playing D'Lo Brown didn't get a chance to win it.

00:31:37There's Stephanie.

00:31:38There's Stephanie.

00:31:39There's Stephanie.

00:31:40There's Stephanie.

00:31:44.

00:31:57.

00:31:59Bunny, I'm home.

00:32:01SmackDown is here at the Soul Down Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim,

00:32:06the home of WrestleMania 2000 on Sunday April 2nd.

00:32:27Uh-oh.

00:32:28.

00:32:30Here we go.

00:32:31.

00:32:33You think that you're better?

00:32:39.

00:32:40Well, you better get ready.

00:32:43.

00:32:45Well, there's X-Pac with-

00:32:54.

00:32:56Something.

00:32:57And Road Dogg.

00:32:58.

00:32:59What are these guys gonna do now?

00:33:00.

00:33:01What is D-Generation X up to?

00:33:04I don't know, that's the great thing about DX.

00:33:06You absolutely never know what they're gonna pull off.

00:33:09Well, they are the most controversial group in the history of the World Wrestling

00:33:12Federation, but, King, I gotta ask you.

00:33:14I mean, hasn't DX caused enough problems already in the last couple of weeks?

00:33:18Huh?

00:33:19How can you cause too many problems?

00:33:21What are they doing?

00:33:24The New Age Outlaws, the Tag Team Champions will defend those titles in Armageddon

00:33:28against the Rock and Stock Connection.

00:33:30X-Pac, who's already caused some problems with Kane tonight,

00:33:34will meet Kane one-on-one a week from this Sunday on Pay Per View.

00:33:38Look at all these gifts.

00:33:39My birthday was Monday.

00:33:40I didn't know these guys here.

00:33:41Wait, wait a minute.

00:33:42What's that?

00:33:43The Pond is jumping in Anaheim.

00:33:57Smackdown on UPN with a visit from D-Generation X.

00:34:03And I can only imagine what this is all about.

00:34:07Since we're at Killer Cali, bow down when DX comes to your town.

00:34:18Bow down when DX comes to town.

00:34:21You know what makes DX so great?

00:34:28Is that we do what we say, and we say what we do.

00:34:33And Kane, I say what I'm doing to you at Armageddon, is I'm gonna beat you.

00:34:42I'm gonna humiliate you in front of your old lady.

00:34:47And then I just might, for all the people in the crowd and

00:34:52all the people around the world, rip that mask off.

00:34:56Uh-oh.

00:34:57And show everybody what you've been hiding under there for so long.

00:35:00Whoa.

00:35:01That's it, Armageddon on Pay Per View in ten days.

00:35:05Yo, Billy, tell him to deal it.

00:35:07Now, Armageddon, the New Age Outlaws.

00:35:14The greatest tag team ever in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:35:19Put the tag team titles on the line against the Rock and Sock Connection.

00:35:26Now Mick, I read your book and couldn't even get by the introduction.

00:35:37It was so horrible.

00:35:38And Rocky, I think you said it best.

00:35:42So at Armageddon, the New Age Outlaws will show the Rock and Sock Connection why you absolutely suck.

00:35:51The future, the future.

00:35:59But there's no time like the present.

00:36:03You see, tonight, it's New Age Outlaws, X to the P to the A to the C,

00:36:09against the Hardy Boys and the WWF Champion, The Big Show.

00:36:14Wow, that's gonna be a war later on tonight on SmackDown.

00:36:18The Hardy Boys, up until now, the New Age Outlaws have been making you.

00:36:23Tonight, we start breaking you.

00:36:26You see, you've acquired the services of the World Wrestling Federation heavyweight champion,

00:36:32The Big Show, Paul White.

00:36:34But even D-Generation X can overcome that obstacle.

00:36:39You see, Paul White, you're not a mountain that we can't climb.

00:36:43But enough about us.

00:36:46This week is a week of joyous celebration.

00:36:50So now, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages,

00:36:56D-Generation X proudly brings to you-

00:37:00No, no, no.

00:37:02No, no, no.

00:37:03Not only is he the game, not only is he our faithful leader, but

00:37:08he is the latest member of the McMahon family, Triple H, Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

00:37:18No.

00:37:19What an introduction.

00:37:20Wait a minute, King.

00:37:25That's Vince McMahon.

00:37:28Look at this.

00:37:31Look at this.

00:37:33Yeah, you find this hilarious.

00:37:36Well, he's part of the family.

00:37:38He's looking like the family.

00:37:39Triple H on his way to the ring.

00:37:45King, I'll tell you what, a week from this Sunday at Armageddon,

00:37:50Triple H takes on Vince McMahon, right?

00:37:53He's already taken him on as a father-in-law.

00:37:55Congratulations.

00:37:56Well, that match at Armageddon has taken on a whole new dimension,

00:38:00a whole new meaning.

00:38:02Yeah, family fused.

00:38:04Triple H for the audacity to show off that wedding band.

00:38:09That's nice, very expensive.

00:38:14Congratulations.

00:38:15So how's married life been treating you?

00:38:21Pretty good, you know?

00:38:23It's a beautiful thing, man.

00:38:25What's so happening?

00:38:26We've been tired, but going pretty good.

00:38:29Well, I don't want you to be embarrassed, but we got you some stuff.

00:38:38We put our heads together and got you a few things.

00:38:41Look at this.

00:38:42First of all, this is your great family portrait.

00:38:44Greatest family portrait.

00:38:47You guys are too much.

00:38:49I mean, went to all the trouble to get me put in the family portrait.

00:38:53How nice!

00:38:56You know, I never thought anybody could actually have a bigger head than Vince.

00:39:01You guys are, look at all these gifts.

00:39:07Hey, you guys, people have to admit, this is the greatest group of guys in the world.

00:39:12Two toasters?

00:39:17Yeah.

00:39:18I could never heat up that many buns at once.

00:39:21You got, oh, look.

00:39:24Look at Proctor Silex, pretty good model right here.

00:39:27Proctor Silex?

00:39:29Iron.

00:39:34You're the best.

00:39:36I'll put it over here.

00:39:37Here, this is from me.

00:39:39This is from me.

00:39:40This is from me.

00:39:41This is great.

00:39:42This is you?

00:39:43You picked this out yourself?

00:39:44Yes.

00:39:45What is it?

00:39:46What is it?

00:39:47It's beautiful.

00:39:48This will be good.

00:39:49It's lingerie.

00:39:51Yeah.

00:39:52How about that?

00:39:55Uh-oh.

00:39:56This is ridiculous.

00:40:00Is that even your size?

00:40:02I don't think that's gonna fit me.

00:40:04I don't know, it'll look great on me.

00:40:07Are these panties crotchless?

00:40:09Yeah, I think so.

00:40:11Hey, man.

00:40:12Hey.

00:40:13Well, I'm kinda bummed out, cuz I guess you and I, we had the same idea.

00:40:18But here it is, man, with all my love.

00:40:21Great minds think alike.

00:40:22It'll look great, Honor, I'll tell you that right now.

00:40:25What is this, lingerie?

00:40:26I'll just open it and see, man.

00:40:28There's nothing in here.

00:40:31Exactly!

00:40:32That one's for me.

00:40:37I'm a little, getting a little tore up right now.

00:40:40That one's, go ahead and open it.

00:40:43It's a front row ticket.

00:40:45It's a front row seat.

00:40:46Look, right there, front row center, Armageddon for Stephanie,

00:40:51so that your lovely bride can watch you beat the fire out of her father.

00:40:56Oh, my gosh!

00:40:57Come on!

00:40:58Now see, that just proves it.

00:41:02Once and for all, you guys, you're not only the greatest, you're the most

00:41:06thoughtful friends a guy can have.

00:41:09A front row ticket, pretty much just like where this moron is sitting right here.

00:41:17Nice hair, by the way, you putts.

00:41:26A front row ticket for my beautiful wife to sit up close and watch her daddy, my father-in-law, get the living crap kicked out of them by me.

00:41:44And I'll tell you what, as great as this gift is, I'm gonna up the ante just a little bit and make this present that much better.

00:41:57Because seeing as how I've got this newfound family stroke and all around here, I'm gonna go ahead and make this match between the honcho and myself, anything goes.

00:42:16What?

00:42:17What?

00:42:18False count anywhere, we can fight anywhere, we can do anything we want.

00:42:23Weapons, it does not matter.

00:42:28So the reality of it is Vince, dad, at Armageddon, your little baby is gonna sit front row center and watch me beat you until you can't stand up.

00:42:49Break it down.

00:42:50Okay, things just keep getting worse for Vince McMahon.

00:42:53Not only one-on-one against Triple H at Armageddon, but now it's no holds barred.

00:42:58Anything goes, that's right.

00:42:59Anything goes.

00:43:00Wow.

00:43:01Armageddon is gonna be something, Michael Cole.

00:43:04No holds barred, Triple H ends at Armageddon in ten days on pay-per-view.

00:43:11The guy's really, he's not there, Rock.

00:43:22That elbow just kind of sent him over the edge.

00:43:24Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:43:25Look at the Rock's eyes.

00:43:26You see any fear in the Rock's eyes or a man named Al?

00:43:29Well, The Rock says he'll slap the taste of Al's mouth just like this.

00:43:32Hey, wait a minute!

00:43:34That's it, Snow!

00:43:35What's he doing?

00:43:36Stay out of it!

00:43:37Stay out of it!

00:43:38We're a team!

00:43:39Stay the hell out of it!

00:43:40We're a team!

00:43:41We're a team!

00:43:42That's crazy!

00:43:43We're back on SmackDown, and a few moments ago, Al Snow, who's scheduled to meet The Rock later on tonight, Drew First Blood King.

00:43:50The Rock's eyes were a man named Al?

00:43:52Well, The Rock says he'll slap the taste of Al's mouth just like this, and it's further-

00:43:56It was a hit-run attack by Al Snow.

00:43:59Well, I'll tell you, Al Snow's been playing in the pharmacy section again.

00:44:03The guy is just not right.

00:44:04He's an idiot!

00:44:05Stay out of it!

00:44:06We're a team!

00:44:07Stay the hell out of it!

00:44:08We're a team!

00:44:09I'm telling you, just stay out of it!

00:44:10It's Al and The Rock later on tonight.

00:44:12And there you see Stephanie McMahon King still anxiously awaiting the arrival of her former fiancee, Teston.

00:44:20How can you put into words to describe what she's gonna have to go through tonight?

00:44:24What's she gonna say to him?

00:44:25I have no idea.

00:44:26And here comes Mankind, who a week from this Sunday at Armageddon,

00:44:42a team of The Rock to take on the New Age Outlaws for the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Titles.

00:44:48Hey, look at that!

00:44:50Somebody found one of his books!

00:44:52Boy, they're hard to find.

00:44:55Well, tonight, WWF SmackDown is brought to you by THQ's WrestleMania 2000 for Nintendo 64,

00:45:02the most electrifying game in the history of sports entertainment.

00:45:06And by WWF The Music Volume 4, get the latest and greatest official WWF Superstar entrance themes.

00:45:12Now available at Hastings, your Entertainment Superstore.

00:45:16And by Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six for the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, and Sony PlayStation platform.

00:45:22WWF.RedStorm.com.

00:45:26Hello, Anaheim.

00:45:30You know, I like to think that I don't ask for a whole lot of favors.

00:45:40What I'd like everybody to do this Sunday here in California and around the country

00:45:46is go down to your local store and pick up The New York Times.

00:45:51Because they sell that Sunday edition everywhere.

00:45:56I want you to look at the bestseller section.

00:46:01Oh, no.

00:46:05In the book section, and I think you'll see that on the bestseller list,

00:46:10well, we got a couple of ex-presidents.

00:46:13We've got three presidential hopefuls.

00:46:17We've got the first man who walked on the moon.

00:46:20We've got two Pulitzer Prize winners.

00:46:23And we've got the Dalai Lama.

00:46:26And at the very top of that list.

00:46:30The top?

00:46:35At number one, well, you've got a first-time author named Mick Foley.

00:46:41And he's kicking their asses.

00:46:43All right.

00:46:44Mankind number one on the New York Times bestseller list.

00:46:48It would be real difficult for me to come out here and thank all the book critics

00:46:53because they're too damn stupid to read it themselves.

00:46:57I can't thank the magazines and the newspapers because it's beneath them to read a book

00:47:02that a pro wrestler wrote.

00:47:04So what I'm gonna have to do is thank wrestling fans around this country.

00:47:09For making my little book numero uno.

00:47:18And it's unbelievable.

00:47:20Which is very nice, but I gotta be honest, it's kinda hard to sit back and enjoy that

00:47:25when I've got a situation going on where my two best friends are at each other's throats.

00:47:32So what I'd like to do is kinda make an emotional appeal to both Al Snow for acting like a total idiot.

00:47:39And The Rock, although I know at this point Al deserves it to maybe put your situations aside.

00:47:46Forget about this whole thing.

00:47:48Let's make it maybe The Rock and Sock and Al connection.

00:47:53Hey, wait.

00:47:54He said nothing about Y2J.

00:47:57What is Y2J Chris Jericho doing out here?

00:48:14The man that's gonna be the next Intercontinental Champion.

00:48:19He's good, whatever he wants, we go wherever he wants.

00:48:22Well, he meets Chyna at Armageddon a week from this Sunday for the Intercontinental title.

00:48:30Would you please, please cut it with the sentimental, sappy BS?

00:48:39I mean, you're out here whining and complaining.

00:48:42My two best friends are fighting.

00:48:43I don't know what to do.

00:48:45I got news for you.

00:48:47Both those idiots aren't your friends.

00:48:50They hate you.

00:48:51Everybody hates you.

00:48:52No.

00:48:53All the people at home, all these people in the arena hate you.

00:49:00And most importantly, Y2J hates you.

00:49:04I guess everybody does hate him.

00:49:07And you wanna brag and boast about a number one best selling book?

00:49:11Big deal.

00:49:12The only reason anybody bought your book in the first place is they were hoping

00:49:16that you would die at the end of it.

00:49:18Happy ending.

00:49:20That's why I'm begging you and pleading with you,

00:49:24please accept my challenge of a match tonight.

00:49:28And that way-

00:49:30What?

00:49:31When I write my highly anticipated autobiography, I can entitle the first chapter, Anaheim,

00:49:40the night I ended that pathetic, feeble-minded Mike Foley's career.

00:49:46Mike, I think that's Nick.

00:49:49Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:49:50Wait, Y2J, what you're seeing is you want a match tonight.

00:49:54See, I've got a little better idea because I don't feel like taking my fat ass and

00:49:58walking it up the ramp and back down the ramp.

00:50:00So I say, let's have our little match right about now.

00:50:05Well, Mankind's accepted the challenge and-

00:50:08We can't, can we do this?

00:50:10We can do whatever we want.

00:50:11It's gonna be Y2J and Mankind right here on SmackDown from the home of WrestleMania 2000,

00:50:17the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim.

00:50:19And they lock up Mankind, driving Y2J back into the corner.

00:50:26And what a slap by Jericho to Mankind.

00:50:29It's Jericho and Chyna and Armageddon for the Intercontinental Championship,

00:50:33just ten days, King, from the National Car Rental Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

00:50:38Let's face it, too.

00:50:39I think Chris Jericho's got a point.

00:50:41Oh, what another slap.

00:50:43Hey, look at-

00:50:45Mankind wants another one, and another.

00:50:47And Mankind, who seems to be impervious to pain, hammering away now on Chris Jericho.

00:50:53Whoa!

00:50:56And Mankind, look at him, into the corner.

00:50:59And in need of the face of Jericho.

00:51:02What a shocker, Mankind's book number one on the New York Times bestseller list this weekend.

00:51:08Yeah, a 300-pound bestselling author.

00:51:10I think he weighs more than Orson Welles.

00:51:13Well, 300 pounds are about to crash down on Chris Jericho.

00:51:16Mankind from the second rope.

00:51:18Jericho rolling out of the way wisely.

00:51:22Smartest thing Y2J ever did.

00:51:24You know, you can say what you want about Chris Jericho.

00:51:29He's a whiner.

00:51:30He's a manipulator.

00:51:31He's always complaining.

00:51:32But he's a tremendous athlete.

00:51:33He's wise in the ring.

00:51:34And Mankind taking advantage right here.

00:51:37And I think that's why Y2J will be the next champion.

00:51:40Wow!

00:51:41Mankind with a bulldog, Jericho face first into the mat.

00:51:47And I was gonna say earlier, Jericho's got a point when he says that everybody hates Mankind, or at least that The Rock and Al Snow are not Mankind's friends.

00:51:58Rock never says he's Mankind's friend.

00:52:00But he's a tremendous partner of Mankind.

00:52:03They're gonna team with each other to take on the New Age Outlaws.

00:52:06They're the number one contenders for the tag team titles.

00:52:09What a maneuver by Jericho.

00:52:11Great balance on the ropes and a drug kick to the face of Mankind.

00:52:15That was a piece of art.

00:52:16That was a piece of great literary work.

00:52:18Man, Jericho flew into that one.

00:52:20Mankind with his right arm.

00:52:22And look out now.

00:52:23Come on over here.

00:52:24Over the ringside into that steel chair.

00:52:26Jericho's head bouncing off the chair.

00:52:29And Mankind.

00:52:30Uh-oh, here we go.

00:52:31With a chair now, and Y2J's in trouble.

00:52:34Where you going, Michael?

00:52:35I'm getting out of the way.

00:52:36I'm getting out of the way.

00:52:37Referee Teddy Long has the chair of Mankind.

00:52:39And Jericho just drop kicked a chair, thundering off the head of Mankind.

00:52:44That steel chair right back into the face of Mike Foley.

00:52:47Mick Foley.

00:52:49Look at this.

00:52:50Mankind tossed back into the ring.

00:52:53Y2J trying to take advantage.

00:52:54Anytime you're scared, just get behind me, Michael.

00:52:55Don't be scared.

00:52:56And Jericho hammering away.

00:52:59You know, Jericho claiming he suffered a concussion at the hands of Chyna last week.

00:53:03And Chyna retaliated for the hammer shots to her thumb at the hands of Jericho,

00:53:07with hammer shots to the head of Jericho.

00:53:09Look at Jericho.

00:53:10He is really showing his vicious side here tonight.

00:53:12I love it.

00:53:13Look at this.

00:53:14You know, gang, he's made an amazing recovery since that concussion since Monday.

00:53:19And Chris Jericho looking for the walls of Jericho, but the man of a claw by Mankind applied,

00:53:26and then a low blow by Y2J.

00:53:28That's a classic counter right there.

00:53:31And there's kick to the midsection.

00:53:34Jericho is going for that submission maneuver, the walls of Jericho.

00:53:37Look out, Jericho.

00:53:38Piledriver by Mankind.

00:53:40Jericho telegraphed that one, and Mankind countered.

00:53:43And wait a minute.

00:53:48Mankind kicked to the midsection again.

00:53:51Jericho whipped off the ropes.

00:53:53Mankind missed it with the elbow.

00:53:54Jericho with a flying elbow to the face of Mankind, and both men are down.

00:53:58See, Jericho is just, I think he's a little bit too quick for Mike Foley here.

00:54:01Uh-oh.

00:54:02Hey, wait a minute.

00:54:03We got company, King.

00:54:04Do we ever?

00:54:05Chyna and Miss Kitty.

00:54:07Woo, look at that company.

00:54:08Chyna's the Intercontinental Champion.

00:54:13She defends against Jericho in just ten days.

00:54:16Do you think they wanna get a cat's eye view of this match or something?

00:54:19Wait a minute, what's Miss Kitty doing?

00:54:21A little scouting report, perhaps, for Chyna.

00:54:24Look at Chyna.

00:54:25And Chyna with the Intercontinental title to the face of Chris Jericho.

00:54:30Miss Kitty and the referee distracted, and Mankind's going for Mr. Socko.

00:54:35No, not Mr. Socko.

00:54:38Hey, Mankind inadvertently.

00:54:40Hey.

00:54:41Puffin and Miss Kitty was on the apron.

00:54:43Jericho, can he take advantage?

00:54:45He does.

00:54:462-J steals one.

00:54:48Here's your winner, Chris Jericho.

00:54:53Okay, Mankind was obviously concerned after he inadvertently ran into Miss Kitty on the apron.

00:54:58And it cost him.

00:55:00Well, it's obvious that Chyna and Miss Kitty came out here to try to put the screws in Jericho, but it backfired.

00:55:07Y2J picks up the win.

00:55:10Chyna and Miss Kitty, they're playing backfiring for Chris Jericho.

00:55:15Well, King, right now we're gonna bring you up to date on the injuries suffered by Stone Cold Steve Austin last month at Survivor Series.

00:55:23You recall Austin suffered head, neck, and back injuries as a result of this hit-and-run attack outside the Joe Lewis Arena in Detroit.

00:55:31Well, finally, all the tests and exams have been completed on Stone Cold, and it's been decided that Austin will undergo surgery in the near future.

00:55:38Now, earlier this week, Stone Cold met with renowned spinal cord specialist Dr. Henry Bowman in Cleveland.

00:55:44And following the examination, it's been determined Austin will indeed need to have surgery to relieve pressure on the nerves of his upper spine.

00:55:52Again, Stone Cold Steve Austin will need to have surgery.

00:55:56Get in that car.

00:55:58Get in that car!

00:56:06Hey, buddy, you seen Stephanie McMahon come through here yet?

00:56:08Yeah, it's just down the hall. She came about five minutes ago.

00:56:10All right, thanks, man.

00:56:14Well, Test has arrived, and he's looking for Stephanie.

00:56:18I'll tell you, what in the world does Stephanie say to him?

00:56:23How do you think he's gonna react?

00:56:25I don't know, but it's time for you to stand up, put your hand over your heart.

00:56:28The true American hero.

00:56:31He's the only gold medalist to grace the World Wrestling Federation ring.

00:56:42And the only celebrated real athlete in the World Wrestling Federation, Kurt Engel.

00:56:50I'll tell you, when I see all those medals around his neck, it almost brings a tear to my eye, and I'm not really an emotional guy.

00:56:57Only celebrated real athlete here in the WWF.

00:57:02As all of you know, I am the most celebrated real athlete in WWF history.

00:57:11He's also a tremendous motivational speaker.

00:57:14What's wrong with these people?

00:57:19And tonight, I am willing to give another real athlete the opportunity to team up with me,

00:57:28the greatest wrestler in the whole entire world.

00:57:32You know, if I had a son- Thank you.

00:57:34I'd want him to be just like that guy right there.

00:57:36Now, to compare an Olympic gold medalist with a black belt in martial arts would be somewhat degrading to my many, many accomplishments.

00:57:51He's sacrilegious almost.

00:57:52But I am willing to give Mr. Blackman a chance to prove himself to me and to all of you, my wonderful fan.

00:58:02This guy's magnanimous.

00:58:05So Kurt Angle's giving Steve Blackman a chance to prove himself.

00:58:09Exactly.

00:58:10I'm glad you're paying attention here, Michael.

00:58:12Steve Blackman, of course, he's, you know, he's creating what he does.

00:58:16And his team partner from Angle, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 245 pounds,

00:58:22the lethal weapon, Steve Blackman.

00:58:26He's got black belts, brown belts, every kind of belt you can imagine in martial arts,

00:58:29but all of those belts combined don't equal an Olympic gold medal.

00:58:32Well, you know, King, this is gonna be an interesting team here, because Steve Blackman and Kurt Angle go one-on-one.

00:58:38And December 12th at Armageddon.

00:58:39And their opponents out of Cremont.

00:58:41And weighing in 492 pounds.

00:58:44Oh, no!

00:58:45And pressure, the Headbanger.

00:58:48Well, the Headbanger's on their way to the ring.

00:58:50They're part of that big 16-man Tag Team Battle Royal at Armageddon.

00:58:54On pay-per-view, the winners to meet the Tag Team Champions at the Royal Rumble.

00:58:59And King, speaking of the Rumble, tickets go on sale Sunday for the Royal Rumble at Madison Square Garden.

00:59:07Oh, yeah!

00:59:08I'm gonna tell you something, though.

00:59:09Just looking at it, it's an embarrassment for an athlete, the stature of Kurt Angle,

00:59:13to even be in the same ring with a couple of buffoons dressed the way they are like the Headbangers.

00:59:18Buffoons?

00:59:19Yeah, their attic's a little dusty.

00:59:22Tomas and Angle now set to lock up in the middle of the ring.

00:59:25This'll be a good one.

00:59:26We saw the arrival of Tess looking for Stephanie McMahon.

00:59:29Man, man, I can only imagine what that conversation must be like.

00:59:33You're a married man.

00:59:34Tell me, what's it gonna be like?

00:59:35I have no idea.

00:59:36I don't know what I do in that situation.

00:59:37I don't think anybody knows until you're confronted with it.

00:59:39What a clothesline by Mosh on Kurt Angle.

00:59:42Angle knocked down, and there's the scoop slam by Mosh as well.

00:59:47Leg drop across the sternum of Angle.

00:59:49Mosh down into the cover, and a kick out after one by Kurt Angle.

00:59:53What about the new- I was just gonna say, when my wife and I first got married,

00:59:56we got along beautifully when we left the church.

01:00:01Double-teamed by the Headbangers, midsection by Thrasher.

01:00:04King, what about the news we heard earlier on?

01:00:06Armageddon, a week from this Sunday, Vince and Triple H now gonna be a no-holds-barred match?

01:00:12Anything goes, fight all over the arena, it's gonna be great.

01:00:15Double-teamed again by the Headbangers.

01:00:18Nobody does it like the Headbangers, and look at the martial arts skill of Steve Blackman.

01:00:22He's had enough of his part with Kurt Angle, and Blackman wants to take matters into his own hands.

01:00:27Tag team, wait a minute.

01:00:32Mosh rolls over, Blackman hooks the leg, and a kick out after two.

01:00:36The audacity of Blackman.

01:00:38Well, they gotta coexist tonight, Blackman and Angle.

01:00:40They're gonna be opponents at Armageddon.

01:00:42Knife edge chopped to the chest.

01:00:44Blackman delivering the elbow.

01:00:46He is so quick.

01:00:47Steve Blackman, the martial arts expert, is so quick.

01:00:51He's sudden.

01:00:52That's a better way to explain it.

01:00:53He's sudden.

01:00:54He's the lethal weapon.

01:00:55Backbreaker across the knee is Steve Blackman.

01:00:57Jim Ross loves to say he's quicker than a hiccup.

01:00:59Is that stupid or what?

01:01:01Head bumped by Blackman into the chest, hooks the leg, kick out after two by Mosh.

01:01:07Still to come tonight, The Rock and Al Snow go one-on-one.

01:01:12Plus, it's the Outlaws and X-Pac against the Hardys and the WWF Champion, the Big Show.

01:01:17Blackman misses, right hand, pulling Mosh, nice side suplex.

01:01:20Blackman felt that one, that one in the small, the back.

01:01:23And can Blackman make a tagged angle?

01:01:25He's crawling to the corner.

01:01:26The tag's made, and Mosh gets to Thrasher.

01:01:29And here comes Thrasher now, and the Headbangers, they're cooking.

01:01:32Thrasher with a big clothesline now to Steve Blackman, and look at the Headbangers go now.

01:01:36Thrasher off the tag by Mosh.

01:01:38Wips Angle into the ropes, a tremendous slam by Thrasher.

01:01:41Hooks the leg, could be it, two.

01:01:43And Blackman breaking up the count as Angle brought his shoulder up.

01:01:46These Headbangers are showing absolutely no respect for a great American hero here.

01:01:50The Headbangers taking it to Blackman and Angle.

01:01:52Look at that.

01:01:53A little bit of slam dancing now.

01:01:54What a bicycle kick by Blackman as Thrasher knocks Angle down.

01:01:57Is that Greco Roman or what?

01:01:59Angle from behind after Blackman's kick.

01:02:02My.

01:02:03Angle hooks the leg, could be it.

01:02:05And it's over.

01:02:06The team of Angle and Blackman defeat the Headbangers.

01:02:09That's intense to see how happy he is.

01:02:12That's the way to celebrate Kurt.

01:02:14A real athlete.

01:02:16I don't think the lead for weapons appreciated it.

01:02:18Look at the look on the face of Steve Blackman.

01:02:20He's unappreciative, he should be happy.

01:02:22Kurt Angle won the match for him.

01:02:24Kurt Angle did not win the match for him.

01:02:26Blackman did the kick that allowed Angle to pick up the hook to him.

01:02:29I think that, I think Blackman's in shock because he's that close to greatness.

01:02:34Uh oh.

01:02:36Come in.

01:02:38Andrew.

01:02:39Andrew.

01:02:40Andrew.

01:03:33I...

01:03:34We're back on SmackDown and just moments ago, Stephanie McMahon finally met with her former fiancee,

01:03:39Tess, asking this heart-wrenching question.

01:03:42Do you still love me?

01:03:46me. Steph, I don't know what to feel anymore. Steph. It's my fault. No, I'm sorry. I'm

01:04:03sorry. I'm so sorry. He'll come around. Give him some time. Give him some time. I'm so

01:04:13sorry. I'm so sorry. It's brutal. Oh. Wow, Michael. Wow. Stephanie's world is, uh, he didn't

01:04:28get shattered. Stephanie asking, Tess, do you still love me? Tess's saying he doesn't

01:04:34know. When you put yourself in Tess shoes, you've got to be extremely confused about everything

01:04:37that's been going on the past 48 hours as well. Special challenge match scheduled for

01:04:42one fall. Making his way to rank bigger company by Hardcore Holley. He allegedly weighs well

01:04:49over 400 pounds, Crash Holley.

01:04:54Ken, WWF Armageddon will be live exclusively on pay-per-view in just over ten days on December

01:05:0212th from the National Car Battle Center in Fort Lauderdale, MechWarrior 3 presents WWF

01:05:08Armageddon, MechWarrior 3 for PC CD-ROM. Let the battle begin. And King and I now joined

01:05:14in ringside by Hardcore Holley as Crash gets set for a special challenge match.

01:05:19Hey, Jerry, I just wanna thank you for having me up here again. Last time I was out here,

01:05:23Michael Cole showed me no respect at all. You know why he's a lightweight? He's a lightweight.

01:05:27He would love to be a super heavyweight, but that will never happen. Uh-oh.

01:05:33Check out Grandmaster Sexy and Scotty 2 Hottie. Now that's two guys right there that

01:05:40don't wanna be. They wanna be super heavyweight. Look at them. They're oversized midgets is all

01:05:46they are. Rockishy. Yeah, Hardcore, but what about that

01:05:50ekranosaurus following him? Look at that. Is that booty of his? Do you reckon he could get

01:05:56inside of a Volkswagen? Are you kidding? He don't wear 501 jeans, he wears 1002s.

01:06:05Well, Grandmaster Sexy and Scotty 2 Hottie called Rikishi their homeboy, their homie.

01:06:11What? Rikishi's about to go one-on-one with Crash Holley. Does Rikishi fit into the super heavyweight

01:06:18category Hardcore? He could possibly fit the super heavyweight class, but he's still a little

01:06:25too small. But don't get me wrong, he is big. He's big and round. He's like a beach ball.

01:06:32My gosh, speaking of beach ball, I see two of them. Rikishi, who weighs well over 400 pounds,

01:06:38goes to work now on Crash Holley. Whipped into the corner, and look at Rikishi go.

01:06:42I told Crash what to do, and see, he just doesn't listen to me. He has to do everything on his own.

01:06:47He has to do everything his own way. What's wrong with Crash?

01:06:51Look at this! Man!

01:06:54Rikishi, Crash face first into the mat.

01:06:59And Rikishi in control of Crash Holley, slams him down.

01:07:05Uh-oh, look out. No.

01:07:08Hardcore, what about this?

01:07:10Well, you know, it is nice to see two super heavyweights in the ring.

01:07:14You know that, Jerry.

01:07:15What did Crash weigh in at today after breakfast?

01:07:18Uh-oh!

01:07:19It was 5-0-5.

01:07:205-0-5.

01:07:21There is that sit-out pile driver, and this one's over.

01:07:25Rikishi with his sit-out pile driver makes quick work of Crash.

01:07:30It's a good thing I wasn't in there because Rikishi, he'd be flat on his back right now.

01:07:37Well, on Raw Monday night, Rikishi, you were flat on your back, and Rikishi was sitting on your chest.

01:07:42That wasn't me, Michael Cole.

01:07:43You need to give me some glasses.

01:07:45That was-

01:07:46Look at this!

01:07:47Hey, let me ask.

01:07:48Are you gonna go over there and help Crash, Bob?

01:07:50Look at this.

01:07:51Rikishi and Tukul are getting down!

01:07:54Wait a minute.

01:07:55Woo!

01:07:56They're causing an earthquake.

01:07:57Jerry, I hate bad people.

01:07:58I can't stand bad people.

01:08:00That is really disgusting right there.

01:08:02Rikishi and Tukul getting down as Rikishi makes quick work of Crash, Holly.

01:08:07That ain't nothing but Jell-O.

01:08:09Well, there's The Rock, and The Rock is not in a pleasant mood.

01:08:13Al Snow is already hitting run tonight.

01:08:16Next, it's Rock and Al.

01:08:18What a one!

01:08:39It may be your only chance to attend WrestleMania 2000.

01:08:42Here you see, man!

01:08:43Uh-oh!

01:08:44The Rock is cooking.

01:08:46Well, the pond has just exploded.

01:08:51Listen to this!

01:08:52Listen, Michael!

01:09:25Listen to these people!

01:09:28They love The Rock here in California!

01:09:31They love The Rock everywhere!

01:09:33Finally, The Rock has come back to Anaheim!

01:09:39Now, to the jabronis in the TV truck, The Rock says, run the footage of what just took place.

01:09:59Uh-oh.

01:11:03and when the rock is ready in the middle of the people's ring on the rock show smackdown

01:11:26and more importantly than that in front of the millions

01:11:35and millions of the rocks fans the rock is going to deliver the most electrifying move

01:11:48in sports entertainment the people's elbow

01:12:05If you smell it out

01:12:11What the rock

01:12:22Is cooking

01:12:37What does everybody want?

01:12:41Well the rock extremely intense tonight following that hit run attack and the hands of Al Snow.

01:12:47Rock gonna fulfill his promise here meeting Al Snow halfway to the ring and here we go the rock

01:12:56exchange in right hands with Al Snow into the steel stairs goes Al Snow.

01:13:01But you know when you look at this objectively Al Snow has got everything to gain nothing to lose.

01:13:05Here's an idiot with cheese wins for brains and he's fighting the rock.

01:13:08If he were to get a win over the rock it'd be the biggest name in the wwf.

01:13:13Well I agree with you King Al Snow a few fries short of a happy meal but

01:13:18he's a great technical wrestler and

01:13:20Oh my rock with a big clothesline knocking Al Snow down.

01:13:24You see from Al Snow's point of view he believed he was helping the rock and mankind out on Raw Monday night.

01:13:30I can't believe he cost the rock any matchup.

01:13:32How can you see from Al Snow's point of view?

01:13:36Only a proctologist can see from that view.

01:13:39The rock took exception that Al Snow cost him the match.

01:13:43Rock misses right hand Al Snow now.

01:13:45Look out.

01:13:45Oh my.

01:13:46Wow.

01:13:48You see that?

01:13:48Al Snow taking advantage of the rock here.

01:13:51And now hammering away with the right hands.

01:13:54The people's champ in trouble.

01:13:57I can't believe Al Snow got the upper hand on the rock.

01:14:00Look at this.

01:14:01Mankind with a vested interest in this matchup.

01:14:04He's gotta be torn up here.

01:14:05No.

01:14:06Swinging neck breaker by the rock.

01:14:09The rock and Al Snow are the two men that Mankind considers his best friends King.

01:14:15Uh-oh, look out.

01:14:17And the rock going outside the ring.

01:14:19After Al Snow.

01:14:20I don't know what I'm saying.

01:14:21Face first into the announce table goes Al Snow.

01:14:24And the rock intense in this one.

01:14:27I think, I think rock thinks it's the lobby of the stand.

01:14:29Look out.

01:14:30Uh-oh, referee.

01:14:31The rock just slammed into the referee, Mike Chioda.

01:14:34Al Snow got a chair.

01:14:34A steel chair across the back of the rock.

01:14:37What's he doing?

01:14:40He's taking advantage of the matchup is what he's doing.

01:14:43Can't believe it.

01:14:44Steel chair to the ribs and out of the shoulder of the rock.

01:14:47And Al Snow's lost it out here.

01:14:49Sit down, Michael.

01:14:49Don't be scared.

01:14:50Get up, Michael.

01:14:53Get up.

01:14:54Look out.

01:14:55The rock.

01:14:55He blocked it.

01:14:56No, he didn't.

01:14:58Right into the announce table, Al Snow with the advantage.

01:15:00Quickly into the ring, cover.

01:15:02Referee slowly making his way back in.

01:15:04Hooks the leg.

01:15:04There's two in the rock with his left shoulder up before the count of three.

01:15:08I can't believe that Al Snow was about one second away from beating The Rock.

01:15:12Well, The Rock brought Al Snow in Al Snow's type of match.

01:15:15You recall Al Snow's a former hardcore champion, King.

01:15:18Come on, Rock, this is Al Snow.

01:15:19Rock brought Al Snow outside the ring and Al Snow took advantage.

01:15:23And Al Snow, gosh.

01:15:25Moonsault, top rope, could be over here.

01:15:27What an upset.

01:15:28And Rock gets his shoulder up after a count of two.

01:15:32I know Al Snow can compete.

01:15:33He's just, well, calling him a pea brain would be an undeserved compliment.

01:15:39Reversal now.

01:15:39Here we go.

01:15:40Rock, man.

01:15:42There you go.

01:15:44And The Rock, can he take advantage here?

01:15:46Can he gain momentum against Al Snow, The Rock and Mankind at Armageddon?

01:15:51A week from this coming Sunday, take on the New Age Outlaws for the tag titles.

01:15:55And Rock, nice counter.

01:15:57Al Snow into the turnbuckle, and The Rock hammering away with the right hand.

01:16:01There's another one.

01:16:02He is laying the smack it down on Al Snow now.

01:16:05Wait a minute.

01:16:06Here we go, Simone.

01:16:07Samoan drop by The Rock, hooks the leg, it could be over to Al Snow.

01:16:12Tremendous resilience as he gets that right shoulder up,

01:16:15following the Samoan drop by The Rock.

01:16:17I still can't believe Al Snow is rising to the occasion like never before.

01:16:21Al Snow is hanging in this one, King, and there's a knee to the midsection.

01:16:25And now he goes to work on the back of The Rock.

01:16:28I told you.

01:16:29I know, ordinarily, Al Snow couldn't hit sand if he fell off a camel.

01:16:32Now he's shining.

01:16:33My.

01:16:34Now he hits sand.

01:16:35Here we go.

01:16:37And the crowd comes to its feet in Anaheim.

01:16:39Now all is right with the world, Michael.

01:16:43There goes the people's elbow pad.

01:16:45Here comes the most electrifying move in sports entertainment.

01:16:49People don't move.

01:16:50The Rock connected, floats into the cover, hooks the leg.

01:16:54There's two, and The Rock picks up the win over Al Snow.

01:16:58Here is the world of the world.

01:17:03The Rock picks up the win over Al Snow.

01:17:09He said he was gonna do it, now what's Al Snow doing?

01:17:12Al Snow out here at ringside.

01:17:14The Rock picks up a huge win.

01:17:17You all right, Al?

01:17:18You okay, Al?

01:17:19Hey, wait, where's he going?

01:17:20Look out, Rock!

01:17:22Look out, look out!

01:17:23From behind.

01:17:24Al Snow is lying in wait, and just clocked The Rock with head.

01:17:28And Al Snow hammering away on the people's champ.

01:17:31This match is over, King.

01:17:33Not as far as Al Snow's concerned, it's not.

01:17:35Al Snow is extremely jealous of The Rock.

01:17:38And look who's coming.

01:17:39The Buzzards, the New Age Outlaws.

01:17:42What is this?

01:17:42The Tag Champions, who take on The Rock and Mankind and Armageddon.

01:17:47Billy Gunn, Road Dog, aren't gonna wait for Armageddon.

01:17:51No!

01:17:52Well, I'd say the only thing DX and Al Snow have in common is they all hate The Rock.

01:17:56One, two, three, two.

01:17:58And Al Snow is extremely jealous of The Rock.

01:18:00Wait a minute, here comes Mankind.

01:18:03And there goes DX.

01:18:04Mankind with a steel chair.

01:18:06And Mankind telling Al Snow to back off.

01:18:12Uh-oh, what do we got here now?

01:18:14And they go.

01:18:16Mankind catching Al Snow, and what a difficult situation.

01:18:22Mankind torn between his two best friends.

01:18:25So much for the friendship of Mankind and Al Snow.

01:18:27We're back on SmackDown King and The Rock delivering the people's elbow

01:18:32to Al Snow floating into the cover and picking up the victory.

01:18:36The only problem was, Al Snow was a sore loser.

01:18:40Yeah, you're not kidding.

01:18:41And as The Rock was about to leave, Al Snow attacks from behind.

01:18:45Hit, well, hit The Rock in the head with head.

01:18:48Well, that wasn't the only attack we'd see, cuz the New Age Outlaws, who take on The Rock and

01:18:52Sock Connection and Armageddon came from out of nowhere and stomped away at The Rock.

01:18:56Mr. Razz with the explanation point, the jackhammer to The Rock.

01:19:01Take a look at this.

01:19:02Well, DX, or the New Age Outlaws there, putting the boots to The Rock until

01:19:07Mankind showed up with a metal chair, and he almost put in to Al Snow.

01:19:11Here comes D-Generation X, set for this six-man tag team matchup.

01:19:24The Outlaws and X-Pop against the Hardy Boys and the WWF Champion,

01:19:29The Big Show, and this is gonna be a war.

01:19:32I love it.

01:19:34The six-man tag team matchup,

01:19:37The Road Dogg, Jesse James, Mr. S, and X-Pop.

01:19:49Well, here you see X-Pop will take on Kane and Armageddon in 12 days on Pay-Per-View.

01:19:55The New Age Outlaws have to defend their tag team titles against The Rock and

01:19:59Sock Connection.

01:20:00We just saw The Road Dogg and Billy Gunn trying to draw first blood as they get

01:20:04ready for that matchup.

01:20:05Uh-oh.

01:20:06Here we go, Michael.

01:20:07And you have a bullet.

01:20:11First being accompanied by Terry of Cameron, North Carolina.

01:20:16Had a combined weight of 430 pounds.

01:20:19And Jeff the Hardy Boy.

01:20:24Hey, you know, it doesn't matter what anybody says.

01:20:26In my book, these two kids, The Hardy Boys, not once but twice,

01:20:31won the tag team titles only to be screwed by X-Pop.

01:20:35That's why your book is not the number one bestseller, Michael.

01:20:37These guys are not the tag team champions.

01:20:40They're a great team.

01:20:41And even better since they hooked up with, uh-oh, with Terry.

01:20:46And they may be even better now if they hooked up with The Big Show.

01:20:48As their tag team partner, he wins at 500 pounds.

01:20:53He is the World Whistler Motivation Champion, The Big Show.

01:21:01Do you think The Hardys brought The Equalizer along tonight, 7 feet 2, 500 pounds?

01:21:08Well, The Equalizer, I don't know who it is.

01:21:11The Big Show, The WWF Champion.

01:21:13He will defend The WWF Title in Armageddon against The Big Boss Man.

01:21:19And you know The Big Show has been looking forward to that matchup for

01:21:23weeks and weeks and weeks.

01:21:25So it's The Big Show and The Hardys against DX, X-Pac, and The New Age Outlaws.

01:21:34What a match.

01:21:35It'll be Matt Hardy going to work against Mr. Ass,

01:21:40starting things off in this six-man tag team matchup.

01:21:44Perhaps the New Age Outlaws and Hardy Boys will meet down the road again, King.

01:21:49The Hardy Boys are part of that 16-man tag team battle Royal and Armageddon,

01:21:53the winners to get a shot at the tag team champs at the Royal Rumble.

01:21:59Matt Hardy ripped off the ropes.

01:22:01What a move, look at that!

01:22:02Great balance by Matt Hardy, countered by Mr. Ass.

01:22:05Matt lands on his feet, and here's the right hand now by Matt Hardy.

01:22:09These two kids have a lot of heart.

01:22:11Tremendous athletes, high flyers.

01:22:13Matt off the ropes now.

01:22:15What a take down by Matt Hardy.

01:22:17And another one, the arm drags.

01:22:19Effective, and there's the hip toss.

01:22:21Yeah, I think the thing now about the Hardys is they feel confident that they can actually beat The Outlaws.

01:22:25The Hardy Boys have proved on a number of occasions that they can run with The Big Boys.

01:22:29They proved it twice against The Outlaws, and if it wasn't for that man, X-Pac,

01:22:33The Hardy Boys beat Tag Team Champions.

01:22:35Billy Gunn complaining his hair was being pulled.

01:22:39Come on, if your hair's being pulled, you gotta complain.

01:22:42I agree with you, King, but his hair wasn't being pulled.

01:22:46He was being outclassed in that particular sequence by Matt Hardy.

01:22:51You know everything.

01:22:52And look at Road Dogg, a little juking and jiving in the ring.

01:22:55Road Dogg to Southpaw, set to lock it up with Matt Hardy.

01:22:59What a night it's been here on SmackDown.

01:23:04I can still not believe Stephanie McMahon asking, Tess, do you still love me?

01:23:08And Tess saying, I don't know.

01:23:10Well, like you say, he's confused.

01:23:13He's been through a lot.

01:23:14He don't know what he's feeling.

01:23:15Double-teamed by The Hardy Boys.

01:23:17They do it better than anyone in the WWE.

01:23:19Cover by Jeff, and a kick out after two by the Road Dogg.

01:23:22And Jeff quickly back on the Road Dogg.

01:23:24You know when I was married, my wife and I were inseparable.

01:23:29Sometimes it took ten people to separate us.

01:23:31Look at Jeff now.

01:23:33Look at this.

01:23:34Great balance up over the top.

01:23:36Road Dogg don't know where he went.

01:23:38Baseball slide, kick to the face, and Road Dogg face first into the mat outside the ring.

01:23:45Jeff, tremendous balance, tremendous high-flying athlete.

01:23:50Tell you, the Hardy Boys have really gotten noticed since-

01:23:53Look at Jeff now off the top rope.

01:23:55Lands on his feet, but he walked right into the left hand of the Road Dogg.

01:23:58And Road Dogg juking and jiving now.

01:24:00Right hand for good measure to the forehead.

01:24:03Road Dogg drawing that Hardy in shape.

01:24:06Rattle and roll time by the Dogg.

01:24:08You gotta like that, Michael.

01:24:09You gotta like it.

01:24:10You like it?

01:24:12Yeah, I like it.

01:24:13And look at this now, Jeff tossed out of the ring by the Road Dogg.

01:24:16And that's No Man's Land, especially with X-Pac out there.

01:24:19Referee's distracted and DX going to work on Jeff Hardy.

01:24:23Triple H, of course, the other member of D-Generation X.

01:24:30We learned tonight Armageddon, his match against Vince McMahon will be no holds barred.

01:24:36You gotta admire the strategy of DX.

01:24:39They put the referee where they want him, and that's just a smart maneuver.

01:24:43I mean, you know, that's smart.

01:24:44You gotta admit that, Michael.

01:24:45Well, it is a smart maneuver.

01:24:47A wise maneuver by DX as X-Pac now delivers the elbow to the sternum of Jeff Hardy.

01:24:54A nightmare takedown by X-Pac, quickly into the chin lock.

01:24:57You know, I was talking about the Hardy Boys earlier on.

01:24:59They've garnered a lot more attention since Terry's taken over.

01:25:02And look at Jeff off the ropes now.

01:25:05X-Pac misses with the right hand.

01:25:07My.

01:25:08Tilt the roll by Jeff Hardy, takes X-Pac down.

01:25:12Misses with the right hand, walked right in.

01:25:14That didn't miss.

01:25:15To the spinning heel kick by the martial arts expert, X-Pac.

01:25:18That was a la Tory there, wasn't it?

01:25:22Man, X-Pac delivering that spinning heel kick to Tory, and we heard earlier on

01:25:25tonight that it was intentional.

01:25:27X-Pac admitting here on SmackDown.

01:25:30Gonna be a huge score to settle when X-Pac meets Kane in Armageddon.

01:25:36I'm not kidding.

01:25:37When here come arguably perhaps the greatest tag team in the history of the WWF.

01:25:41The New Age Outlaws, and look at Jeff Hardy, turn that into a double DDT.

01:25:46Can't believe it.

01:25:47And the WWF champion, The Big Show, wants to make a tag here.

01:25:51He needs an engine for a tag, he can't wait.

01:25:53Both Outlaws out in the ring, can Jeff Hardy, holding that right shoulder of his,

01:25:58can he make it to the champion?

01:26:00Can he make it to the 500-pound Big Show?

01:26:02And here comes X-Pac now.

01:26:05No!

01:26:06And here comes The Show.

01:26:07Seven feet two, 500-pound headbutt.

01:26:11And what a kick to the face of Mr. Ass.

01:26:14Headbutt to Road Dogg.

01:26:15And the WWF champions cooking on all cylinders.

01:26:18X-Pac for The Raw.

01:26:20What power by The Big Show.

01:26:25And now the Hardys.

01:26:27Jeff's gonna fly.

01:26:29Talked the Road Dogg under the chin.

01:26:31He landed on his feet.

01:26:33Jeff's gonna fly the other way.

01:26:34Not again.

01:26:35Mr. Ass, what balance.

01:26:36Landed on his feet again like a cat.

01:26:38Man, swinging DDT.

01:26:40And look at this now.

01:26:42Jeff Hardy.

01:26:43Over 12 feet in the air.

01:26:45Senton Bomb.

01:26:46Here's the cover.

01:26:47Two.

01:26:48And X-Pac broke up the three count.

01:26:51Wow.

01:26:52Unbelievable.

01:26:53Did you see Jeff Hardy senton Bomb off the shoulders of The Big Show?

01:26:57I saw it, I still can't believe it.

01:26:58Look at this.

01:26:59Matt Hardy, sunset flip over the top.

01:27:01Here's the cover.

01:27:02It's over.

01:27:03It's over.

01:27:04The Hardy Boys and The Big Show have defeated DX.

01:27:07The Big Show and The Hardy Boys.

01:27:10I can't believe it.

01:27:11Hey, wait a minute.

01:27:12Can't look who's coming.

01:27:13The man who'll face The Big Show.

01:27:15The Big Boss Man.

01:27:16The Boss Man with a nice dick to the back of the head.

01:27:18The Boss Man and Jeff Hardy.

01:27:20Look at that.

01:27:21He'll stick to Matt Hardy.

01:27:22The Boss Man meets The Big Show at Armageddon.

01:27:26He's the number one contender, Michael.

01:27:28He continues his relentless pursuit of The Big Show and DX now.

01:27:33Like the buzzards they are, picking up on the road kill.

01:27:38The Boss Man delivered a nice dick shot to the back of the head of The Big Show.

01:27:42The Boss Man was a one man wrecking machine there.

01:27:46And here comes The Rock.

01:27:47The Rock.

01:27:48The Rock.

01:27:49The Rock gonna get some revenge.

01:27:50Look at The Rock.

01:27:51The Rock cleaning house.

01:27:56The Rock and Mankind meet The Outlaws and Armageddon.

01:28:00And here's Mankind.

01:28:02We can see Armageddon on SmackDown.

01:28:05We're seeing it right now.

01:28:06It's Kane.

01:28:07The Big Red Machine.

01:28:08Kane going after X-Pac.

01:28:10Kane hammering away at X-Pac.

01:28:14The Rock and Road Dog.

01:28:16All hell's broken loose here at The Arrowhead Con.

01:28:19Kane, The Rock, Mankind.

01:28:23Man, wait till they all locked up at Armageddon.
