00:59and the opponent from Greenwich, Connecticut weighing in at 260 pounds, Triple H!
01:27It's all about the game, and how you play it, all about control, and if you can take it, it's all about your debt, and if you can pay it, it's all about pain, and who's gonna make it?
01:47I am the game, you don't wanna play me I am control, the way you can shake me I am heavy debt, the way you can pay me I am the pain, and I know you can't take me
01:59Look over your shoulder, ready to run Like a claimant bitch from a smoking gun
02:04I am the game, and I make rules So move on out, you can die like a fool
02:10Try to figure out what my mood's gonna be Come on over, son, oh, I don't regret me

02:21Time to play
02:51A big SmackDown welcome to all of our North American fans from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
03:17I'm Michael Cole here with JBL at ringside.
03:21And these Canadian fans are just as fired up as the U.S. fans.
03:25It's going to be a great show tonight.
03:27You're absolutely right.
03:28There's no doubt in my mind that the SmackDown superstars are going to give Toronto the show of a lifetime.
03:34Come on, quit showing off.
03:36This is a wrestling match, not a popularity contest.
03:39We've seen this before.
03:40He's been wrestling his style of match, and he's coming up on a big payoff.
03:43I think we might be looking at the future of the WWE in this ring tonight.
04:03Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
04:05This is a great match.
04:06The fans are definitely into it.
04:08And that's what really matters.
04:09If the WWE fans aren't happy, they'll let you know it.
04:13This has been a great match so far, but I think it's pretty obvious which way it's going.
04:30Oh, really?
04:31Are you willing to go out on a limb and actually make a guess then?
04:34There's no guesswork involved, but if you're going to be snippy, I'm just going to keep my mouth shut.
04:41Wow, if I knew it was that easy, I would have said that years ago.
04:57Man, I don't want this match to end.
04:59I'm with you, partner, but it's got to end sooner or later.
05:02Well, whichever way it goes, no one can say that these superstars didn't give it everything they got.
05:20Talk about superstars who don't have an ounce of quip between them.
05:24You're looking at them right here.
05:27And that's a potentially dangerous mindset to be in.
05:29If you're too proud to realize that you're in trouble, you might wind up risking your career for a single match.
05:35Hey, you've got to be in there every single match and be willing to do whatever it takes.
05:39You'd know that if you actually ever step between those ropes.
05:43I don't have to have been in a match to realize that jeopardizing my future for the sake of one match is incredibly short-sighted.
05:50You know, I'm going to replace you with somebody who actually knows what they're talking about.
05:56Maybe Carlito.
05:57He might be a little tough to understand sometimes, but at least he knows what it's like to wrestle a match.
06:03It's so great seeing these superstars in competition here tonight.
06:19I had a feeling they were going to wind up against each other sooner or later.
06:23There were times when it seemed like it wasn't going to happen, but I can't tell you how glad I am that it did.
06:29That's for sure.
06:30You know, anytime you throw these kind of combustible elements into a match, you're guaranteed a great show.
06:37And that's exactly what we're seeing here tonight.
06:42Nice reversal.
06:43These fans have certainly rallied around Bobby Lashley, and it's not hard to see why.
07:00Yeah, but if Lashley knows what's good for him, he won't worry about the fans.
07:04He'll just focus on taking care of business in the ring.
07:08Lashley's made it.
07:09This superstar is all fired up, and so is this capacity crowd.
07:13Yeah?
07:14Well, one mistake, and we're going to see that fire put out pronto.
07:21He's got this crowd solidly behind him, and now he's going to give them exactly what they want to see.
07:26You can't just keep playing to the crowd.
07:29That's a huge distraction, in my opinion.
07:39These superstars are so unpredictable.
07:47I'm having a hard time figuring out what they're going to do next.
07:50I don't think you're going to be able to just sit back and enjoy the ride.
07:55And what a wild ride it's been so far, with no sign of stopping anytime soon.
08:01I can't think of the last time I saw a superstar with the speed and raw power of this man, Bobby Lashley.
08:19Lashley's a powerhouse.
08:21No, this is stupid.
08:23Why is he risking everything for going up there?
08:26I hope this isn't the last time you see these superstars face off.
08:42I don't say this too often, but I completely agree with you.
08:45This has all the makings of a nice, long rivalry.
08:49I don't know how nice it is, but there are certainly some issues between these superstars,
08:54and I think this match might only exasperate him.
08:57Hey, watch your language.
08:59This is a family show.
09:01I said exasperate.
09:03Not, oh, never mind.
09:12What a cowardly move.
09:14He can't win fair and square, so he tries to screw his opponent out of the victory.
09:18Hey, nothing wrong with doing whatever it takes to win.
09:21If it was that bad, the ref would have disqualified him, right?
09:36Look at these superstars go.
09:38It's obvious that they've done their homework on each other.
09:41That's for sure.
09:43This match might have been over by now if they hadn't.
09:4590% of a match is in the preparation.
09:47You've got to come in ready for battle.
10:02This match proves without a doubt why SmackDown's the dominant brand in sports entertainment.
10:09I can't help but agree, partner.
10:10You won't see action like this on Raw.
10:13Even if you did, you'd have to hear about puppies and government mules and scalded dogs.
