00:07:29heavyweight championship is on the line chris jericho defending against batista right now we're going to
00:07:34take you back to last week on monday night raw when jericho and batista were able to well pick each
00:07:39other's poison so to speak general manager mike adamley has given batista and jericho the power
00:07:47to choose each other's opponent jericho has pitted batista against sean michaels hang on hang on
00:07:56before the bell rings i want to inform the two participants that this will now be
00:08:01a lumberjack match batista versus sean michaels the ring surrounded by possible hostile wwe superstars
00:08:11here comes that batista bomb oh look out here look at the fight of michaels and
00:08:16all the men are outside and here come the lumberjacks come on look at this you know this is exactly what
00:08:22jericho instructed these lumberjacks to do wait a minute now they're in the ring that's a
00:08:27greatness qualification in batista this can't be what jericho wanted
00:08:49the question now is this what do you think batista has planned for chris jericho to meet
00:08:54colina on tonight well this fate awaits him oh yeah four world champions see his post
00:09:05that's gonna be great hold on hold on before you ring that bell i want to inform the two participants
00:09:11of this match that you now have a special guest referee
00:09:18a classic one-upmanship jericho he had pulled the trump card when he threw those lumberjacks out here
00:09:25in batista's match now batista inserts himself as the special guest referee
00:09:30hey hey hey cm punt's got the world champion off guard jericho's thoughts have got to be everywhere except
00:09:38right in this matchup the championship
00:09:41trying to get out of that he does
00:09:44oh breaker and jericho just flops on puck hooks the leg uh-oh oh that's mad i think
00:09:53he's got something in his eye when he was counting on the mat what a bad time to get something in your eye
00:10:07and ladies and gentlemen we understand in a moment we're gonna
00:10:33hear from the world champion chris jericho let me tell you i saw chris jericho earlier this afternoon
00:10:40he is not a happy camper
00:11:03well ladies and gentlemen we are back live on monday night raw and here is a man king who would
00:11:17love to carry that world heavyweight championship into the historic 25th anniversary of wrestlemania
00:11:24if there was any way he could chris jericho but he's got to face batista sunday at cyber sunday and the
00:11:30wwe universe is going to decide who the guest referee is for sunday's matchup boy that's exactly right
00:11:36you can decide if you want randy orton to be the guest referee you text the word orton to 44 99 3
00:11:44if you'd like sean michaels to be the guest referee text h i'm still with orton there you go now if you'd
00:11:51like sean michaels to be the special referee text hbk to same number 44 99 3 and here's why i was a little
00:12:01excited if you'd like stone cold steve austin to be the special referee text the word austin to 44 99 3.
00:12:12what a match that's gonna be of course jericho versus batista the question is k do you think especially
00:12:17after we saw last week on raw that maybe jericho's confidence is wavering a little bit as he hits
00:12:22to cyber sunday well there's a good reason for that it's called batista i mean there are many king
00:12:31in the ww universe i believe that don't think chris jericho's gonna hold out of that title sunday you
00:12:36know with the presidential election nearing we're hearing a lot about polls i took my own polls among
00:12:41the superstars ladies and gentlemen please welcome the world heavyweight champion chris jericho
00:13:01well as i was saying i took my own poll among the superstars and uh well the majority of them think
00:13:07the jericho's reign as champion world heavyweight champion is going to end this sunday
00:13:16i told you he was not a happy camper
00:13:22see this is what i'm talking about that is what i'm talking about exactly
00:13:27respect respect or lack thereof lillian garcia i should never have to ask you to introduce me
00:13:39ever again you should just do it
00:13:45i am chris jericho and i am the world heavyweight champion
00:13:51and you need to say that as much as possible but then again this disrespect doesn't end with lillian
00:14:00no it's permeated every performer in that locker room back there a locker room that i lead as world
00:14:08champion and it's spread like a virus to each and every one of you hypocrites in this arena tonight
00:14:15pure disrespect
00:14:34and somehow you've all got it in your perverted little brains that i'm going to lose this championship
00:14:40at cyber sunday no matter who you choose as the referee
00:14:47a choice you shouldn't even have in the first place but thanks to mike adamley
00:14:51you do mike adamley our esteemed general manager
00:14:57a man that i also need to put on my long list of people who are disrespecting me in this company
00:15:03mike adamley mike adamley made this stipulation and gave you three unbiased officials to choose from
00:15:12but what a list it is it's a joke let's go through them randy orton
00:15:21sean michaels
00:15:22and the worst of all three of them stone-cold steve
00:15:34you'll be unbiased don't be absolute joke and it's not fair to me as the champion
00:15:43maybe mike adamley has forgotten who he's dealing with maybe all of you have forgotten who you're
00:15:48dealing with i am chris jericho and i was the first undisputed champion in the history of this
00:15:55business after i beat the rock and stone cold steve austin in the same night
00:16:04and then i beat four of the biggest superstars on raw to once again become champion
00:16:09i followed that up by beating cm punk in a steel cage and then i destroyed and embarrassed sean
00:16:15michaels in a ladder match a match that he was guaranteed not to lose but guess what he did
00:16:21because i am the best
00:16:29and after my match against batista at cyber sunday when i once again win and retain this championship
00:16:35you will have no other recourse than to admit that i am the best in the world and the most dominant
00:16:42champion that this business or any other has seen in the last few years
00:16:47your disrespect this disrespect ends sunday
00:16:55oh
00:17:05okay it looks like someone else maybe
00:17:10lighting up the disrespect chris jericho there he is the number one contender for jericho's title batista
00:17:17a man who has commanded respect as a three-time world champion and looks to take the gold from jericho sunday
00:17:29and jericho as you mentioned king cannot be happy with his latest interruption
00:17:33jericho
00:17:41jericho's not happy with anything lately
00:17:43jericho's not happy with anything
00:17:47the paranoia has been creeping in the obsession
00:17:50the paranoia has been creeping in the obsession

00:18:27let me tell you what's so ridiculous about that
00:18:31besides your hair
00:18:32you don't demand respect chris you earn respect
00:18:42and i agree with you on one thing
00:18:50if you beat me at cyber sunday

00:32:50exactly right and you are the well it's in your hands all you have to do to decide is text for a balls

00:33:08letter b to the same number 44.993 and for a two out of three files max text the letter c to 44.993
00:33:18top test for ray mysterio sunday no matter which way you look at it
00:33:26with any of those stipulations talk last week king the best two out of three falls may favor ray mysterio
00:33:32as he looks toward kane but ray better not look past this man snipski

00:33:56the tears of pain
00:34:02my bittersweet symphony
00:34:09you're exactly right king this is no warm-up matchup
00:34:13but it will be a good opportunity for ray to see how he fares against a much bigger man
00:34:17in snitski
00:34:20well that's what he's going to be going up against kane who is even bigger than snitski but look at
00:34:24well there's the power and strength of snitski

00:36:23And what does Snitsky say? A bittersweet symphony? It was definitely bitter tonight.
00:36:27Well, it was Mysterio playing the symphony here live on Monday Night Raw.
00:36:35Check it out one more time.
00:36:37This is what we know. Rey Mysterio is all about. That's 6-1-9. And then the high flying. Oh. Incoming.
00:36:47One, two, three. Big victory for Rey Mysterio.
00:36:52Well, ladies and gentlemen, still to come tonight on Monday Night Raw, it is an adamly original.
00:36:56The world champion Jericho, the number one contender Batista, must both compete against the same three opponents in a gauntlet match.
00:37:03The first time ever. And it's live tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:37:07Oh, that certainly is not all. You called it earlier, and rightfully so.
00:37:12The dynamic duo of CM Punk and Kofi Kingston will take on John Morrison and The Miz.
00:37:18Take that match next.
00:37:20Now listen, this ain't no way for me. Come on, open your eyes and see.
00:37:33Now get up, get up about me. I'm gonna show you what you feel.
00:37:38The following tag team comment is scheduled for football.
00:37:43Introducing first, representing ECW, and combined weight of 450 pounds, The Miz and John Morrison.
00:37:53Former tag team champions, Miz and John Morrison, set for action.
00:37:55Yeah, these guys seem like they want to become a permanent fixture here on Raw.
00:37:59They're part, of course, of the ECW Raw Superstar Exchange.
00:38:03You can see Miz and Morrison, 9 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 10 o'clock, ECW, on SyFy and Susan Eights.
00:38:08And here on Raw, I treasure every moment that I don't see him.
00:38:11Also part of the host of the popular Dirt Sheet on WWE.com.
00:38:16Miz thinks he's a chick-maker.
00:38:18And Morrison thinks he's a solid and sexy.
00:38:21Watch me, I'm changing your life, lady.
00:38:26Cause you know he's a better, the best.
00:38:32Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:38:39John Morrison and The Miz, the Hollywood Dream Team, the A-list, the in-crowd.
00:38:47Wanted to let all of you know that there is still time to text your vote for us to compete at Cyber Sunday.
00:38:54Do it now.
00:38:56One time I voted for Pizza Fridays to be changed to Tofu Tuesdays at my high school cafeteria.
00:39:05But my voice was heard.
00:39:08We are the greatest tag team of all time.
00:39:11We are the highlight of the night.
00:39:14We are.
00:39:15We have more street cred than K-fed.
00:39:19We are more fabulous than the Freebirds.
00:39:24We are more legendary than Legion of Doom.
00:39:29We are beyond D-Generation X.
00:39:36Wait, you mean Geriatric X?
00:39:39Guys, are you 50?
00:39:44No.
00:39:46I said,
00:39:48are you 50?
00:39:53Because we got two words for you.
00:40:00Be jealous.
00:40:01There you go.
00:40:05Well, there you go.
00:40:07These guys are really all that.
00:40:10Never afraid to speak their mind.
00:40:12Making his way to the ring.
00:40:14From Chicago, Illinois.
00:40:17Weighed in at 222 pounds.
00:40:21CM Punk.
00:40:23Boy, that feels important.
00:40:24I'd say you should always keep your words soft and sweet because you may have to eat them.
00:40:28Let's see what he's done to things they said tonight.
00:40:30How about CM Punk?
00:40:31And the former world champion CM Punk and his teammate.
00:40:44Bam, bam, bam.
00:40:45And in time, Team Vernon from Jamaica.
00:40:49Weighed in at 270 pounds.
00:40:51Kofi Kingston.
00:40:53Oh, and Kofi Kingston and CM Punk.
00:40:57Good friends from their ECW days when they both battled Miz and Morrison.
00:41:01Tip for tag team action here.
00:41:03Live on Monday Night Raw.
00:41:04We're in Corpus Christi, Texas, King.
00:41:06And here Miz and Morrison referring to Cyber Sunday moments ago.
00:41:09Both of these teams could potentially be involved in a match at Cyber Sunday.
00:41:13Go to WWE.com for all the text voting information.
00:41:21Matchup underway.
00:41:22And it looks like it's going to be the former world champion CM Punk starting things off against the former ECW champion, John Morrison.
00:41:29Monk and Morrison had battles for the ECW title late last year.
00:41:37We welcome you back here to Monday Night Raw.
00:41:39Corpus Christi, Texas tonight, King.
00:41:41And for the first time ever, Batista and Jericho are going to be involved in a gauntlet match where both principals are going to face the same three opponents here tonight.
00:41:50And Adam Lee original.
00:41:51I know, you know, I've never seen that type of match ever, and I've been around a long time.
00:41:55You know, sometimes Adam Lee's a little over the top, but every now and then he'll come up with a real gym.
00:42:01That's what we got tonight.
00:42:03And Miz comes in off the tag.
00:42:05Miz and Morrison mentioned it earlier.
00:42:06Earlier, most of the popular dirt sheet on WWE.com.
00:42:12I'm a big fan of the dirt sheet.
00:42:13Oh, man!
00:42:14Some more shots at primetime this week.
00:42:16And also, they debuted this new feature called Real Men of Greatness.
00:42:20We'll talk about a character named Captain Highpants.
00:42:24Double-teamed by Funkin' Kingston on the Miz.
00:42:29And here's Kofi Kingston, quick cover.
00:42:31Look at the leg, and a kick out.
00:42:33Funkin' Kingston been longtime Friends King.
00:42:35Really haven't teamed that much, but they're starting to put a pretty formidable tag team together here.
00:42:39I like what you call them.
00:42:41They could become a dynamic duo.
00:42:44I mean, we know Jillian's going to be Batgirl at the Cyber Sunday and the Diva Halloween costume contest.
00:42:50And there's the tightness and the high-leaping ability of the former Intercontinental Champion.
00:42:57I love Kofi's dropkick.
00:43:00He could dropkick the hair off the top of your head.
00:43:04That's how high he gets.
00:43:04That standing vertical leap of Kofi.
00:43:07And you know, if he got rid of Miz's hair, he'd actually be doing Miz a favor.
00:43:10Miz told me once that haircut of his cost him $250.
00:43:15That haircut.
00:43:16I wish you'd tell me where he got it.
00:43:17I don't want to go there by mistake.
00:43:19Take it.
00:43:20Take it.
00:43:20The height here.
00:43:22Look at this.
00:43:23It's a standing jump right to the jaw.
00:43:26And CM Punk, the martial arts expert, into the ring, hooks the leg, shoulders down, and a kick out.
00:43:33The very disciplined and straight-edge CM Punk.
00:43:38World champion earlier this year.
00:43:39Really a maverick during that title reign.
00:43:43It was DiBiase and Rhodes.
00:43:45Manu, part of Twice's tag team champions.
00:43:48Yes.
00:43:48With Randy Young, who cost CM Punk that title a couple of months ago.
00:43:53Look at this.
00:43:54Oh, this is going to be good.
00:43:56You ready?
00:43:58Oh!
00:43:58Oh!
00:43:58Oh!
00:43:58Morrison dunked unceremoniously out onto his partner first and then onto the floor.
00:44:09Kobe Kingston is all fired up.
00:44:13And can you blame him?
00:44:15Take another look at this, King.
00:44:17Check this out one more time.
00:44:18They have Morrison up and then, here you go.
00:44:20Give me a second here to ponder, Michael, and then ask you, who do you think that Mike Adamley is going to assign as the three opponents?
00:44:31Oh, look at this.
00:44:31Cover, cover, cover by Kingston in a kick out.
00:44:33Three opponents in the gauntlet matches that are still to come tonight.
00:44:36Well, I'm not sure, but it's a first time ever.
00:44:38It's an Adamley original, so I'm sure we're going to be blown out of our boots over it.
00:44:42I guarantee you that.
00:44:43Right.
00:44:44Well, I've never seen, I've never seen two gauntlet matches in which one of the opponents or the competitors will face the same opponents.
00:44:51Look at this!
00:44:52CM Punk quickly into the cover, pokes the leg, and Miz just throws the shoulder out.
00:44:57And keep in mind, not just two opponents, King.
00:45:00The world champion Chris Jericho, the man he defends that title against, Batista, in six nights.
00:45:06Oh!
00:45:07Miz.
00:45:10He has a mean streak in him.
00:45:12Talk about being a loudmouth with a chick magnet, as he likes to say.
00:45:18Miz carries on the level, he's very unassisted.
00:45:23Imagine the rise of the car from Miz and Morrison.
00:45:26I think their egos into it.
00:45:28He's in a truck.
00:45:31But the dirt sheet is entertaining.
00:45:33It's very entertaining.
00:45:34Oh, look at Kofi Kingston, hooks the leg again.
00:45:38And a kick out.
00:45:38Actually poked some fun at a Triple H a few weeks ago.
00:45:43Well, I love it when Miz and Morrison come over here to Raw from ECW and, you know, think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread.
00:45:49And then they run into a couple of guys like Kofi Kingston and CM Punk.
00:45:53Take them right to the limit.
00:45:55Miz and Morrison get a hold of the tag team titles for a number of months.
00:45:58Look at Kingston!
00:45:59And Kofi Kingston, athletic ability on display.
00:46:05Oh, and Morrison!
00:46:06What a...
00:46:07The referee was busy with Miz.
00:46:09John Morrison took advantage.
00:46:11And suddenly, Miz and Morrison have regained control.
00:46:15Well, that's what Miz and Morrison do so well in tag team matches.
00:46:18I mean, they just...
00:46:19We can see it one more time.
00:46:22Look at this.
00:46:23Kofi Kingston takes his eye off the ball for one second.
00:46:26And then...
00:46:27And Morrison slams that boot into his chest.
00:46:31John Morrison just...
00:46:32Come on, Kofi!
00:46:35This is assaulting Kofi.
00:46:37See, I'm trying to will his partner on.
00:46:39This is where Miz and Morrison can't imagine.
00:46:41They're so dangerous.
00:46:42But look at Kofi.
00:46:43He's not going to get caught in that corner, well.
00:46:44He looked like he wasn't going to get caught in that corner.
00:46:46He's supposed to do a great job isolating Kofi Kingston for this part.
00:46:52Here's the cover.
00:46:53This could be it.
00:46:54Jack Knight cover kick out of two by Kofi Kingston.
00:47:00Come on, man.
00:47:01What do you say?
00:47:01The flip.
00:47:03Flamboyant John Morrison looking to wear Kingston now.
00:47:06Miz and Morrison in total control.
00:47:08Can Puck and Kingston get back in it?
00:47:12We welcome you back to TV's longest-running weekly series.
00:47:14This is Monday Night Raw live in Corpus Christi, Texas.
00:47:18It's former tag team champions Miz and Morrison
00:47:20against CM Punk and Kofi Kingston
00:47:22and some great action during the commercial break, King.
00:47:25Yeah, check this out.
00:47:26Once again, as I said, Miz and Morrison.
00:47:30Whoa.
00:47:31I thought they were in total command, but...
00:47:33Kofi Kingston looked like he was going to be underhanded.
00:47:40Hey, Morrison knocked down.
00:47:41Morrison, pretty smart.
00:47:43You've got to give him credit.
00:47:44There, Kofi looking for a tag, but he's got an empty corner.
00:47:47And CM Punk nowhere to be found because of Morrison and Miz,
00:47:51who again continue to isolate Kingston from his partner.
00:47:54Kofi close to a tag there.
00:47:55Been a wild night so far.
00:47:56General Manager Mike Adamley with another Adamley original on tap.
00:48:00Batista and world champion Chris Jericho King will be involved in a gauntlet match tonight.
00:48:05Both principals facing the same three opponents for the first time ever.
00:48:10That takes place a little bit later on tonight.
00:48:12Oh, that sounds exciting.
00:48:14Already exciting.
00:48:14What about that great deal of tag match we had earlier on?
00:48:16And all the Divas are going to be involved in a Halloween costume contest on Cyber Sunday.
00:48:22And Kane gave us a little sneak peeker what some of the Divas are going to be wearing come Cyber Sunday.
00:48:27Yeah, Victoria's going to be a banana.
00:48:29How about that?
00:48:30Tiffany's going to be a nun.
00:48:33He has some bad habits.
00:48:35Morrison, I should say Miz, continue to try to wear down Kofi Kingston.
00:48:38And also tonight, Rey Mysterio with a big win over Stipsky as he gets ready for Kane inside of Sunday.
00:48:44And we even saw Stone Cold Steve Austin here on Raw tonight.
00:48:50You've got to be impressed with Miz and Morrison.
00:48:53They're just not...
00:48:54Look how he can't catch his breath.
00:48:56Get anywhere near his partner.
00:48:57Oh, no, no, no.
00:48:58Another great double team.
00:49:02Morrison was a legal man.
00:49:03He made the tag.
00:49:04Seems to have to.
00:49:05The cover pump realizes Kingston's in trouble.
00:49:07Now he tries to get Kofi Kingston back into the matchup.
00:49:11Not the legal man.
00:49:13He has to come back out there now.
00:49:14Come on, Kofi!
00:49:17Morrison almost talked to Kofi at the time when he went into the cover of the former Intercontinental Champion.
00:49:22What the hell?
00:49:23Morrison has Kofi Kingston's body just twisted there toward it.
00:49:28I'm going to ask you the question.
00:49:29You ask me the word.
00:49:30Who do you think General Manager Adelaide is going to have as the three opponents for Batista and Jericho later tonight?
00:49:36I have no idea.
00:49:38I can never tell what Adam is thinking.
00:49:42I can assure you, they're going to be big.
00:49:44Whoa.
00:49:44Kofi Kingston's in the tag.
00:49:46Big tag.
00:49:46Punk, Punk.
00:49:48Look at Sia Punk go.
00:49:50Unique swinging neckbreaker to Morrison.
00:49:53And Sia Punk has been on the wait for a long time to get into this matchup.
00:49:56Punk uses those feet and the legs just as well as his throats.
00:50:03Man, two slaps and then a couple backhands.
00:50:07Boom.
00:50:08That cat behind me.
00:50:10From Sia Punk falls it up for the running bulldog.
00:50:12And finally Sia Punk is rolling.
00:50:14Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:50:19Punk slipping off the top rope.
00:50:21I believe he saw Morrison dunk.
00:50:22Look at this.
00:50:23By Punk.
00:50:24That snap.
00:50:25Slam.
00:50:26And it's Miz this time breaking up the three count for his team.
00:50:30Look at Miz pull that rope down.
00:50:34Boy, Everett, the opportunist.
00:50:35Now you're going to pay for it.
00:50:38And Punk distracted, may pay for the distraction.
00:50:41Tag was made.
00:50:43GDS.
00:50:44Tag was made.
00:50:45Come to sleep.
00:50:46Another warm man.
00:50:47Wait, wait.
00:50:47Punk didn't realize Miz made the tag.
00:50:49And Miz and Morrison pick up the win.
00:50:51Here are your winners, The Miz and John Morrison.
00:50:59Say what you want about Miz and Morrison, King, but that was a unique way they won this matchup.
00:51:04Punk didn't realize the tag had been made.
00:51:07Boy, I'll tell you, I just called Miz.
00:51:10He was ever the opportunist, and what an opportunity they spotted and took advantage of here.
00:51:18Well, this was earlier on in the matchup.
00:51:21Kofi Kingston trying somehow to kick down deep and generate a comeback.
00:51:26But look at Miz.
00:51:26Well, I think Miz sensed that Kofi was going to be able to make the tag, so he cheap shot it.
00:51:31See him come off the apron, and there, there.
00:51:34No tag.
00:51:35Kofi couldn't make a tag to anyone.
00:51:37Now watch this, the tag made by Miz.
00:51:39Punk delivers to go to sleep to the man who's not legal.
00:51:42But the referee saw the tag.
00:51:44He knew that Miz was the man, and that's the pin.
00:51:49A big win over, for Miz and Morrison, over a very game-perk to Kofi Kingston here tonight.
00:51:55Miz and Morrison, never seen a belt they wouldn't like to hit below.
00:51:57So, great tag team action, live here on Monday Night Raw.
00:52:05Mike, I guess nobody here respects me.
00:52:08Nobody understands.
00:52:09I mean, I should be mentioned in the same breath as such champions as Buddy Rogers or Harley Race, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart.
00:52:15They get respect.
00:52:17And what do you give me?
00:52:18A gauntlet match?
00:52:19Where is the respect that I deserve, Mike?
00:52:22Huh?
00:52:23Chris, you don't get it.
00:52:24That's what I'm doing.
00:52:26I want you to be respected.
00:52:28I'm giving you the opportunity to be respected like all those former champions.
00:52:32That's what I'm doing.
00:52:34And my respect, Batista's, the WWE universes, and most important, Chris, self-respect.
00:52:43That's what I'm doing.
00:53:13We're back live on Monday Night Raw.
00:53:31Our fans already hoisted their opinion of...
00:53:34Oh, wait a minute.
00:53:36I thought it was supposed to be Santino Marella.
00:53:38Oh, that is Santino.
00:53:40It's been Phoenix.
00:53:41It is Claire Marella.
00:53:42Well, ladies and gentlemen, maybe that get-up tonight is perhaps paying homage to Santino's Cyber Sunday opponents,
00:53:52because it's up to the WWE Universe to decide who Santino will defend the Intercontinental Championship against.
00:54:00That's right.
00:54:01It's up to you.
00:54:02And if you want to vote for Rowdy, Rowdy Piper to face Santino at Cyber Sunday,
00:54:06text the word Piper to 44993.
00:54:11Now, if you'd like to see Goldust get a little freaky with Santino, text the word Goldust to the same number,
00:54:1844993.
00:54:19Now, to vote for the Honky Tonk Man to shake, rattle, and roll Santino's world, text the word Honky to the same number, 44993.
00:54:31Oh, this is going to be, this is going to be one of my favorites, man.
00:54:36No matter who his opponent is.
00:54:38Look at this get-up.
00:54:39You see, at first glance, choosing my opponent for Cyber Sunday looks like a difficult task.
00:54:49But don't worry, WWE Universe.
00:54:51I'm going to make it easy for you.
00:54:54You see, all three of my opponents, they're one in the same.
00:55:00They're all washed up.
00:55:03That's why I dress like this tonight.
00:55:06To prove that very point.
00:55:07Take Rodney the Piper, for instance, huh?
00:55:13Hot Rod no longer has a hot bod.
00:55:18They should change the name of Piper's Pit to Piper's Punch.
00:55:25Woo, big belly.
00:55:27I mean, what's Rodney the Piper going to do to me at Cyber Sunday?
00:55:31Oh, that's right.
00:55:33He does two things.
00:55:34He chews gum and grows his butt.
00:55:36Well, it looks like he's been out of gum for a while because his butt is very groan.
00:55:41Two words for you, Rodney the Piper.
00:55:46Sugar-free.
00:55:47Then there's Golden Dust.
00:55:54He shattered Joe, the son of the plumber's American dream, and turned it into a nightmare.
00:56:01I mean, really.
00:56:02Dressed like a woman.
00:56:05Golden wig.
00:56:06Always touching your dimples.
00:56:08I guess it's safe to say that the career of Golden Dust has flamed out.
00:56:18Oh, no, you didn't.
00:56:23Oh, yes, I did.
00:56:26And last, but definitely not least, the honky-donky man.
00:56:34I mean, he has like a pork chop sideburns, he eats pork chops, even combs his hair with a pork chop grease.
00:56:44What is this obsession with swine?
00:56:48I have no idea.
00:56:50I mean, don't get me wrong.
00:56:52I, too, I'm down with the other white meat.
00:56:56But come on, man.
00:56:58You actually made a career out of impersonating the king.
00:57:05And I'm not talking about you, Jerry, stupid luller.
00:57:10Stupid.
00:57:12And I'm not talking about Jason Priestley, either.
00:57:16No, I'm talking about Elvis Presley, the other king of Memphis.
00:57:20Who died on the toilet while pinching off the career of the honky-donky man.
00:57:34If they're actually able to roll his big, fat carcass to the ring,
00:57:39I'm going to flush him back to the heartbroken motel.
00:57:43I know what I would love to see Hacksaw do with that two-by-four when he gets in the ring.
00:58:08Look at Santino, he doesn't look so much dressed, he looks upholstered.
00:58:15Oh!
00:58:20Speaking of Santino!
00:58:25Speaking of washed up, my God, man, look at you.
00:58:28You look like you could use a good hose down, a water meal, and a bus ticket to somewhere.
00:58:34U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
00:58:39U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
00:58:42U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
00:58:46U.S.A.!
00:58:52Santino!
00:58:54You look like you're on your last minute of your 15 minutes of fame.
00:59:00And my name is not Hackensack, it's Hacksaw Jim Duggan!
00:59:10There you go.
00:59:12And you, well, you're...
00:59:16confused.
00:59:18You know, I've been around a long time, I've seen a lot of flashes in the pan, and to be
00:59:28honest, you're the flashiest.
00:59:34But I don't appreciate, I said, I don't appreciate you disrespecting my generation.
00:59:44Why are you so angered to me?
00:59:54Oh, I realize it.
00:59:57It's because you don't have a honka meter!
01:00:02You see, the honky-donky man was intercontinental champion for a record 64 weeks.
01:00:08I, Santino Marella, have been intercontinental champion for 10 weeks.
01:00:18That's right, double digits, and getting closer by the week.
01:00:23Remember, remember when you were intercontinental champion?
01:00:28Not!
01:00:29That's because you were never intercontinental champion!
01:00:36The only thing, the only thing you ever won was a gold medal at the Goodwill Games.
01:00:44Or maybe you carry around the American flag because you are a four-star colonel of the Salvation Army.
01:00:52USA!
01:00:53USA!
01:00:54USA!
01:00:55USA!
01:00:56USA!
01:00:57USA!
01:00:58USA!
01:00:59First off, Santino, you stand up when you're talking to me.
01:01:03And second, if it wasn't for your boyfriend here, you wouldn't even be intercontinental champion.
01:01:14Oh, hey, take it easy.
01:01:17Take it easy.
01:01:19Tough guy!
01:01:22You son of a gun!
01:01:25Those words, they're for fighting.
01:01:28Hold this!
01:01:30Hold this!
01:01:31Oh, this is gonna be great.
01:01:33Hold this!
01:01:34USA!
01:01:36USA!
01:01:37USA!
01:01:38We're gonna have a little, a few backs, too.
01:01:40Santino wants to fight.
01:01:41I'm sure Hexaw Jim Duggan will gladly, let's see what's under that kilt.
01:01:45Gladly oblige him.
01:01:48Hold this!
01:01:49You know what, Beth, maybe we should give those clothes to him before he robs us.
01:02:00And you ain't seen nothing yet.
01:02:15And you ain't seen nothing yet.
01:02:18Whoever faces me at Cyber Sunday, they will never forget the name of the greatest intercontinental champion of all the times.
01:02:29The champion of Earth, Santino Marella.
01:02:35Oh, we're gonna have to wait until Cyber Sunday to see who Santino's opponent's gonna be.
01:02:48I don't know how Santino sprung a leak there on his mouth.
01:02:55I don't know what hit him, but not a good omen.
01:03:00Not a good omen at all.
01:03:01Oh, Beth provided the distraction.
01:03:03And then...
01:03:04Part of this guitar might have blown up and hit Santino, but the majority of it certainly hit poor Hacksaw.
01:03:13Well, Jim Duggan, 10 weeks and counting, and Santino is our intercontinental champion.
01:03:20Well, let's serve Santino right.
01:03:22We're in Puerto Rico.
01:03:29We've actually done a show already in Arecibo, in Ponce.
01:03:33And now we're here in San Juan tonight.
01:03:3418,000 people in this arena.
01:03:36It's gonna be incredible.
01:03:38I am making one of my dreams come true is to see Raw Live, Batista, or in the studio.
01:03:43I'm so excited.
01:03:46We drove about 97 miles just to come and see WWE here live in San Juan.
01:03:51Puerto Rican fans here, they have a little extra volume.
01:03:57They project from the stomach, from the guts, from the heart.
01:04:01Wrestling's in their blood, and when they come to see the WWE, they really display their passion.
01:04:06This is why we do what we do, is because of these fans.
01:04:10Why not pick up the camera?
01:04:12I felt the heat of the moment, and boy, did the crowd love it.
01:04:15And I loved it as well.
01:04:16I think Batista got a kick out of it, too.
01:04:18It was fun.
01:04:19It was beautiful.
01:04:19That's what it's all about, having fun.
01:04:24Yo, yo, yo, yo.
01:04:26Chad Gaspar and JTG, it's Primetime.
01:04:29We're back live on 29th Raw.
01:04:31King, I understand that Primetime borrowed a few things.
01:04:35They're on a trip to Puerto Rico.
01:04:37Oh, really?
01:04:38Yeah.
01:04:38What else to do?
01:04:39These are the guys who like to have their cake and eat yours, too.
01:04:44This 10-team contest is scheduled for a one fall.
01:04:47Introducing first, at a combined weight of 525 pounds, Chad and JTG, Crime Time!
01:04:57Well, tonight, Raw is brought to you by E-Surance.
01:05:03Traditional auto insurance is in the ring, and E-Surance is the folding chair.
01:05:08Get your free quote online.
01:05:10And JTG.
01:05:14And making their win three, at a combined weight of 484 pounds, they are the world tag team champion, Cody Rhodes and Ted David Austin.
01:05:34Accompanied by their buddy, Manu and King, you gotta wonder and believe that the world champion, Chris Jericho, the number one contender, Batista, back in the locker room area, getting ready tonight for a first-time-ever matchup.
01:05:45They're gonna run the gauntlet against the same three opponents here tonight in an Adam Lee original.
01:05:51I cannot wait to see how that's gonna work out.
01:05:52Oh, exactly.
01:05:53There's gonna be not one, but two gauntlet matches.
01:05:55Well, one involving Chris Jericho, one involving Batista, but they'll both face the same opponent.
01:06:00And the opponents are surprised, at least not.
01:06:02Oh, here's the surprise, look out.
01:06:03Nibiase, Manu, Cody Rhodes, attacking primetime before this bell even rings for this matchup.
01:06:09I should say that's not a surprise.
01:06:11It was supposed to be a tag team matchup, yet it turned into a three-on-two affair in that Manu.
01:06:17Come on, ref, you're gonna have to get some order in this thing.
01:06:19The mauler, the rootless Manu, and the tag team champions.
01:06:25How do you like that?
01:06:26That's enough.
01:06:28Come on, come on, Rhodes.
01:06:30Has the match even started?
01:06:31I don't think the match has even started.
01:06:32I don't know, it was scheduled to be Dibiase and Rhodes against primetime.
01:06:38But this three-on-two assault ensued.
01:06:42The referee's gonna have to get Manu out of there.
01:06:44It's supposed to be an example of priceless.
01:07:07Tonight's match that's still to come is an Adam Lee original for the first time ever.
01:07:16Batista and Chris Jericho are gonna both compete in a gauntlet match against the same three opponents of Mike Adam Lee's choosing.
01:07:24We're back live on Monday Night Raw and Corpus Christi, but WrestleMania 25 just up the road in Houston, the historic 25th anniversary.
01:07:37Well, you know, WrestleMania has historically been the greatest spectacle in entertainment.
01:07:41Can you just imagine what the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania will be like?
01:07:45Can you imagine what it's gonna be like this coming Sunday?
01:07:47The most interactive pay-per-view of the year.

01:09:37Come on, you know I got you.
01:09:50Yeah, one.
01:09:51Break the wall.
01:09:52And for this man, the world champion Chris Jericho, Cyber Sunday means respect and
01:09:57an opportunity to gain it, to prove to the world he deserves to be champion.
01:10:03And in Chris Jericho's mind, that road to respect started earlier tonight.
01:10:23After general manager Mike Adamley made this Adamley original, a gauntlet match.
01:10:33Well, some would call it a cheap shot, Jericho calling it striking first.
01:10:43Hey, listen to what he tells Batista, he told Batista that is the first lesson in respect.
01:10:51Well, for the first time ever, Batista and Jericho will both run the gauntlet,
01:10:56competing against the same opponents next.
01:10:59We are back live on Monday Night Raw, world champion Chris Jericho joined in the ring by general
01:11:06manager Mike Adamley.
01:11:07This is an Adamley original.
01:11:09A gauntlet match.
01:11:10I like it.
01:11:11And from Washington, D.C., weighing in at 290 pounds, Batista!
01:11:32There is no doubt that Batista can taste it, that Batista can smell it.
01:11:45That Batista believes he is six days away from another world championship reign.
01:11:51He is steamrolling into Cyber Sunday.
01:11:54Well, that's the, I mean, it's just, like you said, Mike, it's a feeling, it's in the air.
01:11:59Everyone here in the WWE, all the other WWE superstars, everyone involved with this organization
01:12:05can feel that same thing.
01:12:06Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you.
01:12:11I'm sick of all these people talking out their heels.
01:12:17Another Adamley original.
01:12:22You are about to witness, for the first time ever, Batista and Chris Jericho competing against
01:12:32the same three opponents of my choosing in a gauntlet match.
01:12:46Batista, you will start the match first.
01:12:51Now, gentlemen, let me introduce you to your first opponent.
01:12:57He is the 2008 King of the Ring.
01:13:07And that would be William Regal, ladies and gentlemen.
01:13:10So the first step in this three-step process will be William Regal.
01:13:14So it'll be Batista wrestling Regal first, followed by Chris Jericho.
01:13:17Now, King, my question is, is it favor Batista to go first, or Jericho to go first against
01:13:22William Regal?
01:13:24Well, obviously, I think it would have to face, I mean, it would have to favor Chris Jericho.
01:13:30William Regal's no pushover, but whatever damage Batista can do to Regal, you know,
01:13:37it's gonna favor Jericho.
01:13:39Well, a couple of weeks ago, Regal was the yes timekeeper in that Batista versus JBL number
01:13:45one contender matchup that Chris Jericho made when he was the fill-in GM for the evening.
01:13:51So Jericho will actually be in the corner to watch this first part of the gauntlet match between Batista and Regal.
01:13:57Like I said, this is the first ever.
01:13:58I've never seen anything like this.
01:13:59I mean...
01:14:00And for William Regal, it's just an opportunity to inflict punishment in the number one contender
01:14:04for the world title.
01:14:06Oh!
01:14:07Spinebuster by the animal!
01:14:10See the intensity in the eyes of Batista when he delivered the spinebuster with authority.
01:14:15And Batista wasting no time here!
01:14:17Go for the Batista Bob!
01:14:18And the Batista Bob connects!
01:14:20Hook of the leg!
01:14:21Batista successfully runs the first part of the gauntlet!
01:14:25Here is your winner, Batista!
01:14:28And now it's Jericho's opportunity to earn some respect!
01:14:34Well, I mean, I'm not exactly sure.
01:14:40Okay, so Jericho gets to come in and start his portion of his gauntlet match.
01:14:46Get him out of the way!
01:14:47I think Batista did Jericho a huge favor here.
01:14:50Get him out of the way!
01:15:05Jericho, get him out!
01:15:07Jericho wants to take advantage of the damage Batista did to Regal.
01:15:10Well, you can't blame him.
01:15:11Like I said, that's the big favor, that Batista did such a devastating move.
01:15:15The referee Mike Keona doing his job, King, making sure Riegel is actually ready for this part of the matchup.
01:15:22Come on, Keona, get him to stand up! Stand up!
01:15:27Let's go! Stand up!
01:15:29The referee's doing the right thing. He's not going to start this match until Riegel is at least able to get to his feet.
01:15:34Well, Jericho's answering ready to go, King. He has something to prove here tonight, at least in his mind.
01:15:38Oh, and there's the codebreaker! Jericho quickly goes for the win, hooks the leg, and he does!
01:15:43He takes advantage of Batista's damage.
01:15:48Here is your winner, Chris Jericho!
01:15:52Making short work of William Riegel. Well, a damaged William Riegel, thanks to Batista.
01:15:59Chris Jericho, you will start this next match, and gentlemen, let me introduce you to your opponent.
01:16:09He is the world's strongest man, Mark Henry.
01:16:15Oh, the former ACW champion, and you saw that big gulp in the throat of Chris Jericho.
01:16:21And Mark Henry, who has been frustrated, and angry, and annoyed over the fact that he couldn't win that championship back for Matt Hardy,
01:16:29would love to take that frustration out on Jericho tonight.
01:16:34Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but is that not a look of fear on the face of the world champion?
01:16:40Hey, Chris Jericho came out here barking about respect, he says he wants it, King, he's got the opportunity to do it.
01:16:46Well, if he beats, if he beats the world's strongest man, he'll have my respect.
01:16:50Well, Jericho here, as he attacks Mark Henry, he just looked away for the moment.
01:16:54The world champion looking to stand on the same plane as Batista, to show that he belongs here.
01:17:00He belongs to be champion.
01:17:01Take it out the 400-pounder at the knees.
01:17:06Jericho going for the, well, the walls of Jericho, but too much strength on the part of Mark Henry.
01:17:13Do you see the strongest man?
01:17:14Just kicking Jericho out of the ring.
01:17:19Look at this.
01:17:20The count beginning on Jericho.
01:17:22He had to get back in the ring to earn some respect.
01:17:26Jericho has some respect knocked into him by Mark Henry.
01:17:29He says he wants to be respected like all the other great champions.
01:17:33Adam Lee Sane, the general manager, that he's given Jericho the champs to be respected.
01:17:39Well, I think Batista said it best.
01:17:41If Jericho can win at Cyber Sunday, no matter who the referee is, then he'll have respect.
01:17:48I just don't think that's going to happen.
01:17:50Look at Batista just talking Jericho as Mark Henry takes advantage.
01:17:54This paranoia that's just been creeping in on Jericho as Henry just drags the cartons across the ring.
01:18:02Did you ever think you'd see Batista cheering on Mark Henry?
01:18:06Oh, big splash.
01:18:07Nobody home.
01:18:08Jericho rolls out of the way.
01:18:09And it's a good thing or he'd be a splat on the mat.
01:18:12Whoa.
01:18:12Look at Chris Jericho connecting.
01:18:15That may do it.
01:18:16Lions all pump the hook of that big leg.
01:18:18And Mark Henry kicks out with authority.
01:18:22It's horny to say the least.
01:18:23And that shocked the world champion.
01:18:27Wait a minute.
01:18:28Jericho.
01:18:29Jericho.
01:18:29Gonna do whatever he can.
01:18:31You're not gonna earn any respect that way.
01:18:32What are you doing?
01:18:35What the heck is he doing here?
01:18:37Hey, that's the world title.
01:18:39The world title.
01:18:41The referee busy watching Henry with a tie buckle.
01:18:44Here's your winner by disqualification, the world's strongest man, Mark Henry.
01:19:00I guess Jericho thought he was gonna pull a fast one, get away with that, but do you respect that?
01:19:05Well, of course not.
01:19:07So now it's Batista.
01:19:08Jericho paid the price.
01:19:09Who looks to run the second part of this gauntlet against the world's strongest man, Mark Henry,
01:19:15who is knocked out with that world title to the skull.
01:19:19Checking on Mark Henry, he even hit that blasted right to the cranium with that heavy championship.
01:19:26Whoa.
01:19:27So Mark Henry's mentor, Tony Atlas, the WWE Hulk.
01:19:30They were looking on.
01:19:33Mark Henry.
01:19:35And look at that.
01:19:35Oh, no.
01:19:36Batista.
01:19:37Are you kidding me?
01:19:38400 pounds.
01:19:40Mindbuster.
01:19:41You gotta respect that.
01:19:44Wow.
01:19:45Here is your winner, Batista.
01:19:50Talk about sending a message.
01:19:53That's two wins for Batista.
01:19:56Jericho's one and one.
01:19:58All right.
01:19:59Let's see here.
01:20:02Chris Jericho, you will start this next match.
01:20:06And gentlemen, let me introduce you to your opponent.
01:20:12He is the big red machine.
01:20:17What?
01:20:17Hey.
01:20:18Oh.
01:20:18The expression tells the story on both men.
01:20:30Well, once again, I don't, I think Jericho's right.
01:20:34He doesn't have Adam Lee's respect.
01:20:36Jericho's got to start against Kane.
01:20:38Can either Jericho or Batista survive the next gauntlet test?
01:20:47We're back live on Monday Night Raw.
01:20:49We're out here.
01:20:50This is the third stage of the first of its kind gauntlet matchup.
01:20:54It's Kane versus Jericho.
01:20:55Cover.
01:20:56And just throws the shoulder out.
01:20:59Batista, Jericho taking on the same three opponents here tonight.
01:21:02This gauntlet matchup.
01:21:03Both men defeated William Regal.
01:21:05Jericho disqualified against Mark Henry, who Batista beat, and out Kane in the final stage.
01:21:10And ever since this match started, Kane has been in complete command.
01:21:14Jericho's in big trouble.
01:21:16Jericho, who started tonight demanding respect, considering his angry at the WWE fans,
01:21:23and the superstars, and even our general manager, for being disrespected as world champion.
01:21:30All right, anyone to earn respect tonight from our fans here in the WWE Universe is Batista,
01:21:36and he absolutely dominated.
01:21:38Mark Henry, he dominated William Regal.
01:21:41And Jericho looking to dominate the big red machine Kane.
01:21:46World champion Jericho meets Batista Sunday.
01:21:49This match all about respect for Chris Jericho.
01:21:56It's Jericho and Batista, and now Jericho the champion.
01:22:04Well, this certainly favors Batista here, Jericho having to start this encounter with Kane.
01:22:11And Kane certainly took it to Jericho early on, but now Jericho with the upper hand.
01:22:15Ooh, for the moment.
01:22:17For the moment, and right, did you hear that?
01:22:19A huge right hand.
01:22:22Oh, man.
01:22:26And the presence of respect continues for Jericho.
01:22:29Can he roll Kane out of his belly and into the walls of Jericho, a submission maneuver?
01:22:34Trying to get the over 300-pounder roller, Jericho close to do it, and McCain with a great reversal.
01:22:39Well, Jericho wants respect so bad, the only way he's gonna earn it from this audience
01:22:44is if he beats Batista this Sunday.
01:22:48Batista came out earlier tonight, King, and said just that.
01:22:50You beat me, you're gonna earn people's respect.
01:22:55And Kane just punishing the world champion.
01:22:59You and I both know, everyone knows Kane doesn't respect anybody.
01:23:02Not at all.
01:23:04That can do it.
01:23:06Sidewalk slam, just rattling the insides of the champion.
01:23:09Elbow missed, and Jericho buys himself a little bit of time, but can he take advantage?
01:23:17He is the rare of Kane.
01:23:19Ooh!
01:23:20Looked for the codebreaker, and Kane just slotted him away like a mosquito.
01:23:25And this is not good for Jericho.
01:23:27No, it's not.
01:23:28The over 300-pounder at the top of Batista is loving it.
01:23:33Batista's waiting for Kane.
01:23:34With a wily and crafty champion.
01:23:37Jericho!
01:23:37Batista realizes that, King, and crafty is the veteran instinct of Jericho.
01:23:45Gonna come into play Sunday.
01:23:47One, two, three, two!
01:23:50Batista getting a close and personal look, and some of Jericho's strategy that without a doubt
01:23:56he'll be applied towards, oh, Batista this Sunday.
01:24:01Head-butt directly to the bridge of the nose.
01:24:03And Kane, this time, looks to fly from the top rope.
01:24:07I think this big shouldn't fly.
01:24:09Champion stun-
01:24:10Yeah!
01:24:11A flying clothesline!
01:24:13Kane, the cover!
01:24:16Did he get it?
01:24:18Two and a half, so close!
01:24:20Seven, eight!
01:24:22What a feather in the cap for Kane it would be to bring the champion, Jericho, tonight.
01:24:26And look, look, what is wrong with Invicta Batista clapping, cheering, oh, for Kane!
01:24:33Jericho battling.
01:24:34Said last week he scratches and crawls to survive.
01:24:37Oh!
01:24:38Oh!
01:24:39Look out!
01:24:40And a big red machine, Kane, and...
01:24:46Not that way, Jericho!
01:24:51One, two, three!
01:24:55Ow!
01:24:56Batista with the mind games!
01:24:58Backing Jericho right into the clutches...
01:25:01Of Kane!
01:25:04Oh!
01:25:05Boot to the skull!
01:25:07Good night!
01:25:08Kane has pinned the champion!
01:25:11Here's your winner, Kane!
01:25:14A little bit of psychological warfare for Batista, who now has to go one-on-one with the big red machine.
01:25:21Again, final leg of the gauntlet matchup.
01:25:23Oh!
01:25:25And Batista measuring Kane!
01:25:27There's a spear!
01:25:28A spear by Batista, who's pinned Kane!
01:25:32Batista wins the gauntlet match!
01:25:34The winner of this match, Batista!
01:25:38And Kane, after what is transpiring tonight, you gotta ask the question,
01:25:42has Jericho's confidence been completely shattered?
01:25:46Batista, the winner and respect here tonight!
01:25:50I think the look on Jericho's face and the way he's grimacing and holding his battered body will tell you
01:25:56what kind of mental condition he's in, how much confidence he has going into Cyber Sunday.
01:26:02This is bad for Jericho.
01:26:04Jericho must sense it!
01:26:07He must feel it!
01:26:09The stampede of the animal is coming!
01:26:17Batista with a major statement!
01:26:22Kane tonight live on Monday Night Raw!
01:26:23Total domination, by Batista, over all three of his opponents.
01:26:32But Jericho, still the World Heavyweight Champion, until Sunday.
01:26:36But how can he survive against the animal at Cyber Sunday?
