00:00:00And inside, ladies and gentlemen, congratulations to Chris Benoit.
00:00:03What a hell of a victory.
00:00:05Well, ladies and gentlemen, momentarily, two men will leave their locker rooms to
00:00:09make their way into the Hell in the Cell tonight.
00:00:11The question is, who will be able to return to that locker room later tonight, King?
00:00:17Well, I can tell you one thing, neither one of these men will ever be the same.
00:00:20You see that demonic cell being lowered down now.
00:00:23We're just moments away from this, JR.
00:00:25Two men that at one time are best friends.
00:00:28They've gone from being in DX to ending up in Hell.
00:00:35HBK, Shawn Michaels, Triple H today, one of the greatest rivalries in the history of this industry.
00:00:43The World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Benoit, with the title on the line against Shawn Michaels.
00:00:49There it is!
00:00:50Sweet 10 music, and this one should be over.
00:00:53Look at that one!
00:00:53Damn it!
00:00:54Triple H!
00:00:55I can't believe this.
00:00:57Triple H has just ruined Shawn Michaels' chance to become World's Champion.
00:01:01The following is a 20-man battle royal, and it is to determine the number one contender at Bad Blood.
00:01:09We're down to two.
00:01:11Kane got the low blow.
00:01:12He's hurt.
00:01:13Triple H is going to win this damn thing after all.
00:01:15Here we go!
00:01:16What a damn!
00:01:17What a damn!
00:01:18What a damn!
00:01:19The suspension of Shawn Michaels has caused Triple H a match for the World's Heavyweight title.
00:01:25What is it?
00:01:27That is not a bad light.
00:01:31It will be Triple H.
00:01:33This is Shawn Michaels' Hell in a Cell!
00:01:43Two tons of unforgiving steel.
00:01:47The most demonic structure in the history of the WWE.
00:01:52Shawn Michaels enters my world, and I have never lost a Hell in a Cell match.
00:01:59Because unlike Shawn Michaels, I have no remorse.
00:02:04I have no conscience, and I will stop at nothing to end Shawn Michaels' career.
00:02:12Shawn Michaels and Triple H have had some classic confrontations in the past.
00:02:21These two men, as we all know, have been at one time closer than brothers.
00:02:26But tonight, after seven years, it's come to this.
00:02:29A match that was designed for one reason, and that is to be the end.
00:02:36I hear the words you say to me, I see the way you look at me, I know what's on your mind.
00:02:43So stand up, get up, back up, now just stay away.
00:02:47I feel the hate you push on me, I see the things that you can't see.
00:02:52I know what's on your mind, so stand up, get up, back up!
00:02:58You had your chance to break me down, but there's nothing at all.
00:03:07So just stay away from me!
00:03:10H-P-K, Triple H.
00:03:12This is one of the great rivalries.
00:03:14It's all gonna be over.
00:03:16The brutal finality of this epic confrontation.
00:03:19Yeah!
00:03:20Only it's Sunday.
00:03:22Shawn Michaels, you and I go straight to Hell.
00:03:26You had your chance to break me down, but there's nothing at all.
00:03:34So just stay away from me!
00:03:36No, just stay away from me!
00:03:40No, just stay away from me!
00:03:46Just stay away!
00:03:50Time to play!
00:04:00Time to play the game!
00:04:02It's all about the game!
00:04:16And how you play it!
00:04:18It's all about control!
00:04:19And if you can't take it!
00:04:20It's all about your debt!
00:04:22And if you can't pay it!
00:04:23It's all about pain!
00:04:24And who's gonna make it!
00:04:26I am the game!
00:04:28You don't wanna play me!
00:04:29I am control!
00:04:30No way you can shake me!
00:04:32The following is a Hell in the Cell match!
00:04:36And it is scheduled for one fall!
00:04:38Introducing Bert from Brennan, Connecticut!
00:04:41Weighing in at 265 pounds, Triple H!
00:04:48Triple H has never lost a one-on-one match in Hell in the Cell.
00:04:52He has beaten Cactus Jack, Kevin Nash, Chris Jericho.
00:04:56Triple H has beaten a brawler, a mauler, and a technical wrestler.
00:05:01Three diverse, different styles, and the game has come out victorious each and every time.
00:05:08But none of those men, in all due respect, are the showstoppers.
00:05:16Well, it's hard to beat the game at its own game.
00:05:18And it seems that Hell in the Cell is Triple H's game.
00:05:22That's why I wondered there, why?
00:05:24Why on Earth would Shawn Michaels have, no, not have,
00:05:28demand this match here tonight for finality to end this rivalry once and for all?
00:05:36But it's almost like a, hey, you're right, it's gonna happen.
00:05:41It's gonna be finality, but it's almost like Shawn Michaels has his own dead wish
00:05:46to be in this kind of match with that man.
00:05:50The Hell in the Cell is like Satan perversely waiting on new victims.
00:05:57And from San Antonio, Texas, The Hard Played Kid, Shawn Michaels.
00:06:13That's a moment of ovation for the young man with the warrior soul, Shawn Michaels.
00:06:22But can Shawn Michaels regret the places he's not been before in years to survive this?
00:06:36Because, King, this is Survival Sunday for both That Man Triple H and That Man Shawn Michaels.
00:06:44Well, Shawn Michaels better be able to survive.
00:06:47He'd better be able to get to that place, J.R., but not That Man Triple H could and
00:06:55will try to end Shawn Michaels' career right here tonight.
00:07:01And if Triple H can't get it done, let's not discount the effects of the Hell in a Cell.
00:07:09The Hell in a Cell, the keeper of blood, flesh, and careers.
00:07:15There's only been ten Hell in a Cell matches in the history of this company.
00:07:20Only 13 men have been put inside this Hell in a Cell.
00:07:25And I would tell you, and I think they would tell you, they were never the same again.
00:07:31Shawn Michaels is looking up at this demonic cell.
00:07:37He's contemplating exactly what you're talking about, J.R.
00:07:42Here it comes.
00:07:45You might as well say the steel executioner is being lowered around this very ring in two human beings.
00:07:55It's like a huge black cloud falling down on both of these men.
00:07:59As wicked and unforgiving as Triple H is by his own admission, so is this structure.
00:08:10Nobody's getting in.
00:08:12These two men aren't getting out.
00:08:14This is a one fall to a finished match.
00:08:19And to tell you I have a peaceful, easy feeling about this would be total fabrication.
00:08:26I don't think either man was overly anxious to get this thing started.
00:08:33I mentioned on Heat this was like wrestler's prison, the house of detention and depravity.
00:08:41These are the last precious few moments that either of these men are ever gonna be.
00:08:48Well, the same.
00:08:49They are ever gonna be the way they are right now.
00:08:51You're right.
00:08:52They will both be changed after this match.
00:08:57This rivalry has gotten so perversely personal.
00:09:01Carnell Botaev and Triple H will have a size and strength advantage.
00:09:06Michaels can counter with speed, quickness, and heart.
00:09:10Not to say the game doesn't have heart.
00:09:12He's got plenty of, and a big right hand, and another right hand by the game.
00:09:17Michaels turning the table here.
00:09:23My pants chopping her right hand.
00:09:27This match starting off at a great next pace, but
00:09:32the hatred that exists between these two men, that's all you can expect.
00:09:36These guys aren't gonna be in there to wrestle each other.
00:09:39They're not actually in there to try to pin one another, JR.
00:09:42They wanna end this thing, once and for all.
00:09:45There's no time limit, no disqualifications.
00:09:48Hard elbow, that got shot right in the, they've got him right in the Adams app.
00:09:52As we say in Oklahoma, it's the throat in most places.
00:09:59Can we see that one more time?
00:10:01Or better yet, listen to it.
00:10:03Man, that's some serious impact.
00:10:07And Michaels taking down the game, and measuring those right hands on Triple H,
00:10:14who shoves Michael off of that position.
00:10:17Michael's throwing the outside, lands on his feet, right back in.
00:10:22Yes!
00:10:23Michael again, a loop-ness press.
00:10:26Michael's so tenacious, so driven in this rivalry to end it here tonight.
00:10:32The fans here at ringside counting off the right hands by Shawn Michaels.
00:10:39And the forehead of Triple H.
00:10:43First time that was thrown over the top rope, out to the floor.
00:10:47The ringside area surrounded by the hell of a cell.
00:10:50And don't think that that cell is not gonna come into play.
00:10:54Each one of these men know it's there.
00:10:56They know when they wanna use it.
00:10:58They know they can't get out of that door.
00:11:00It's completely chained and padlocked.
00:11:02I hear the fans here at Columbus, Ohio.
00:11:08Nobody's there for tribulation at right hand.
00:11:11And Michaels counters for right hands of his own.
00:11:14They cannot be counted out.
00:11:18Referee is only in there to count somebody's shoulders.
00:11:21Or the second ring of bell for submission.
00:11:25Referee cannot make too many mistakes here.
00:11:28And may have made a calculated area there.
00:11:32Lowered his head.
00:11:33Michaels capitalized quickly.
00:11:34With his spinning, swinging neck breaker.
00:11:37Cover.
00:11:38One fall to a finish.
00:11:40Again, no disqualification.
00:11:42There is no time limit, no count outs, and no stopping for blood.
00:11:48I hope I haven't jinxed these two men.
00:11:52I think that little pinning attempt came strictly out of instinct there from Shawn Michaels.
00:12:01I don't think he would have been content to get a win over a place that easily.
00:12:05Do you?
00:12:06I think he wants this to be more final.
00:12:08Yes!
00:12:09I think Shawn Michaels wants to know once and draw that Shawn Michaels, HBK, is the better man of the two.
00:12:17That's what this is all about.
00:12:19Who is the better man?
00:12:20Right.
00:12:21We'll find that out tonight.
00:12:23He's already clean.
00:12:24I don't know where he's isolated.
00:12:25It looks like his back is as well.
00:12:27A very unforgiving steal, as you say, JR.
00:12:31No doubt about it.
00:12:32Every inch of it can cut you in some kind of way.
00:12:36Hell in a Cell is where careers go to die.
00:12:39So unforgiving.
00:12:44That's good enough.
00:12:46And it will, you know, could.
00:12:49I'm trying to be.
00:12:52Man, the leg's head almost chopped off.
00:12:55Legs are bleeding out.
00:12:57I'm trying to open that cut up of hard right hands.
00:13:01You know, I've heard legends that men have broken their hands in these matches.
00:13:07This is legal as a headlock.
00:13:11Well, and another way to get your hand broken or your fist broken is just what happened to Triple H earlier.
00:13:20You back somebody's head up against the middle of one of those middle posts and then swing,
00:13:24and if they move out of the way, your fist is gonna strike nothing but steel.
00:13:28Boom!
00:13:29Triple H beating Shawn Michaels that foot right to the face.
00:13:33He's trying to regroup here.
00:13:35Triple H.
00:13:36Again, Triple H has lost some distance there.
00:13:39You see the Triple H bleeding, that's probably what caused it right there.
00:13:45Triple H's head run right into that.
00:13:48Not severe at the moment.
00:13:51And the game.
00:13:54Man.
00:13:55I'm afraid things are about to get a little more severe now, JR.
00:14:00There they are.
00:14:01This is the term unforgiving.
00:14:06The cell doesn't care.
00:14:09Triple H's face being rearranged.
00:14:15It looks more like hamburger than a wrestler right now.
00:14:20Stand-mare by Michaels just to get the game down.
00:14:23So Michaels can stomp Triple H square in the face.
00:14:27And then speaking of his face, there it goes again.
00:14:30Under that demonic cell.
00:14:33And I've said this on more than one occasion and I know from experience.
00:14:36It does something to you, JR.
00:14:37You just can't help but have some sort of feeling when you're in a match like this
00:14:42and you suddenly see your own blood.
00:14:44Three, four.
00:14:45Nobody ever likes to see your own blood.
00:14:47You know that, JR.
00:14:48Absolutely.
00:14:49Why would they?
00:14:50Hard knock down by Shawn Michaels.
00:14:53He blocked the inverted atomic rock.
00:14:55Michaels walking very gingerly.
00:14:58He's a guy that was out four years with a bad back.
00:15:01Michaels hip.
00:15:02He's hip.
00:15:03He feels lower back.
00:15:05Don't wanna diagnose.
00:15:07But Michaels is not right as you can tell.
00:15:09He's walking crooked.
00:15:10And he hopes to be walking, period, when this match ends.
00:15:15You're right, JR.
00:15:20I think John is hurt here.
00:15:25Michaels trying to suplex Triple H.
00:15:28That back is either cramping on him, he's got some muscle spasms,
00:15:33or there's some more structural damage there.
00:15:36I hope I'm wrong on the latter.
00:15:39And I can say that you better hope, Shawn better hope that it's only muscle spasms.
00:15:44And that's not the cause right there.
00:15:46That hard iron slip from Triple H is one of the most powerful men ever here in
00:15:52the WWE and Triple H doesn't miss a trick.
00:15:55We don't call him the cerebral assassin for nothing.
00:15:58And he said before this match, if he sees any spot, any point of weakness,
00:16:02any kind of injury, he's gonna go right after it.
00:16:05And I think that's what we're about to see now.
00:16:07He senses it.
00:16:11Oh, man.
00:16:12Triple H with every bit of strength and velocity he could muster.
00:16:17Sending Michaels for the proverbial ride with the Irish whip.
00:16:21Again.
00:16:22And man, that elbow.
00:16:25This is getting hard to watch.
00:16:28Michaels is definitely hurt.
00:16:29I don't know what was the first thing that happened to him.
00:16:32But you can tell, you noticed at first, he's walking crooked.
00:16:36And now he's in serious trouble.
00:16:39And knowing the four years of hell that Shawn Michaels went through,
00:16:45away from what he loved to do, all because of that bad back and the surgery.
00:16:50And then coming prophetically enough into hell in the cell and
00:16:55having this happen to him is more than ironic.
00:16:59Well, I hate to say that Shawn Michaels deserves this, JR.
00:17:05But you gotta remember, everybody out there needs to remember,
00:17:08Shawn asked for this match.
00:17:10Well, you did that.
00:17:11No, he didn't ask for it.
00:17:12He demanded this match.
00:17:13He did ask, demand, and look at the standing suplex.
00:17:18Look at the strength of Triple H.
00:17:20That takes amazing strength.
00:17:22With the blood rushing to the head of Shawn Michaels.
00:17:25It's a disorienting move.
00:17:26High impact, cover, and Michaels kicks out instinctively.
00:17:30But look at Michaels' back.
00:17:31The kick out on that move, Michaels' back is contorted.
00:17:35It's twisted, King.
00:17:37It was as if Michaels has been in a car wreck.
00:17:40And I don't know, at this point, JR, I don't know what he can do about it.
00:17:45I mean, you know, this is the kind of injury that is, I mean, it just takes,
00:17:50you have to recuperate.
00:17:51It takes time to get, and it's not like Triple H is gonna let up for one second.
00:17:56And the other threatening aspect of this match, the referee can't stop this match.
00:18:03There's a backbreaker by the game.
00:18:05And the referee got a near fall.
00:18:06Michaels kicking out.
00:18:07The game going for the win with the backbreaker going for the cover there.
00:18:12But the referee is totally helpless in what he can do.
00:18:15There's no discrimination.
00:18:17That steel chair is as legal as any maneuver that Triple H chooses to execute.
00:18:24Yeah, I agree, JR, but if he uses a Triple H at this point in this match,
00:18:29uses that steel chair, it's like 10 about two.
00:18:33Cruel and unusual punishment.
00:18:34Triple H can be described as terminally dangerous.
00:18:41And Shawn Michaels could not have gotten up without the help of the ropes and
00:18:46being picked up by the game and over the game.
00:18:48Somehow, the resilience of Shawn Michaels is absolutely extraordinary.
00:18:54But the game just shut down the extraordinary will to compete of Shawn Michaels.
00:19:00And this is gonna be sick.
00:19:03Michaels goes downstairs.
00:19:04Michaels, once again, Michaels saves himself at the last second.
00:19:07Just a desperation kick by Michaels.
00:19:10There's no telling where his brain has been scrambled with that steel chair.
00:19:15If Triple H has been able to connect.
00:19:22Somehow, Michaels needs to stay on the offense.
00:19:24And Michaels needs to grab that chair himself.
00:19:26Michaels, for Triple H out, this is a good opportunity for Michaels to stay in
00:19:30the ring and try to get that back straightened out.
00:19:34Or playing Shawn through Triple H out of the ring just to try to buy some time.
00:19:38I thought so too, but probably not.
00:19:40And Shawn Michaels' courage and his guts, his will to win just cost him there.
00:19:47No, no, no, no.
00:19:51The ring, the cage, the post, the cage.
00:19:57My God, this is carnage.
00:19:59What do you say Michaels, huh?
00:20:03You wanna continue the match?
00:20:05Talk to me, Shawn.
00:20:08Referee is asking Shawn Michaels if he wants to quit.
00:20:11I don't think that word's in his vocabulary tonight, do you?
00:20:14Absolutely not, but Michaels has got a young family.
00:20:18Get up, you sissy!
00:20:20He's a father, he's got other things that he has to be concerned about.
00:20:24What would happen if Shawn was incapacitated or in so much pain that he
00:20:28couldn't even say that he quit?
00:20:30I don't think what the end result would be.
00:20:35We know the game is gonna show absolutely no surcease on Michaels.
00:20:40Triple H can be as viciously vile as anyone that we have ever witnessed in this ring.
00:20:48Triple H, he just slanted off her shoulder to see what part of this cell to use next.
00:20:59As if it wasn't bad enough for the game to assault Michaels' lower back in the ring.
00:21:05Now the game is using this structure, this hell in a cell almost as a tag team player.
00:21:13Well, that's, like you said, the chair, everything about this cell is fair game.
00:21:20It's just like a suplex.
00:21:22And I think now the time has come that Triple H wants to finish, Shawn.
00:21:26Steel chair placed in the center of the ring.
00:21:29And no, no!
00:21:31My God!
00:21:32Jesus!
00:21:33Golly almighty!
00:21:35This has gotta be it, and Michaels kicked out!
00:21:40And I'll tell you, I appreciate the passion.
00:21:45Right.
00:21:46I respect the man as much as anybody, but I almost for a moment there wish that Shawn Michaels had not kicked out.
00:21:55And I'm saying that, ladies and gentlemen, because I'm concerned about Michaels' physical welfare.
00:22:01Well, I understand that you wish that he had not kicked out.
00:22:04And I think that shortly Shawn may wish that he had not kicked out.
00:22:07Because I can assure you Triple H has some bad plans with that chair.
00:22:11One more.
00:22:13Backbreaker literally may have happened.
00:22:18This has gotta be-
00:22:20They don't stop!
00:22:21Shawn Michaels refusing to stay down.
00:22:23And Michaels kicking out!
00:22:25Left shoulder!
00:22:26Right shoulder!
00:22:27Kicking with his legs!
00:22:28And everything is heart and soul and muscle.
00:22:32And the game has gotta be getting a little frustrated, albeit Triple H is in the proverbial driver's seat.
00:22:39Well, I'm gonna tell you, I don't see frustration in Triple H's face.
00:22:43I see determination.
00:22:45I think he's thinking right now, Shawn, if this is the way you want it,
00:22:49then this is the way you're gonna get it!
00:22:50I can't describe that any better than what you saw.
00:23:00A steel chair across the spine.
00:23:02And this is it.
00:23:04I'll tell you what, I got a bad feeling in my gut, King.
00:23:12I don't, I mean Michaels, four years away, and he's looking at Shawn Michaels,
00:23:16trying to use Triple H to pull himself up.
00:23:18His will to compete, speaking of Shawn Michaels, is absolutely extraordinary.
00:23:25And Michaels with everything he's got, right-hand shots, and a shot to the eye by the game.
00:23:33Well, I just, at this point, after the damage that's been done.
00:23:39No, it's not, it's reversed.
00:23:40Yeah!
00:23:41Oh, my God!
00:23:42The three!
00:23:43Triple H was hip-locked over the top rope to the floor, and Michaels just crumbled.
00:23:49Michaels collapsed after reaching down to his socks to hip-lock the game.
00:23:55Desperate men do desperate things, and that was an act of pure desperation by Shawn Michaels,
00:24:01but I think it worked.
00:24:02It did buy him some time.
00:24:03Check this out one more time.
00:24:05Abdominal stretch is what the game was going for, but then it was reversed, and then the hip,
00:24:10hip toss right out of the ring.
00:24:12Shawn Michaels using that shoulder, the battering ram, his left shoulder, and
00:24:18Triple H just, one time, shame on you, second time, shame on me.
00:24:24I'm surprised Triple H could have a bad back after being thrown out of the ring like that.
00:24:28Walked into that one.
00:24:33As a wrestler, right hands, and more right hands.
00:24:38The game has thrown everything he can at Michaels, and has not kept Michaels down for
00:24:43three.
00:24:44It's gotta be first radio.
00:24:46Wait, wait, wait, wait, here it is.
00:24:47This is it.
00:24:48Pedigree time.
00:24:49Low blow is legal.
00:24:52The steel chair is legal as we pointed out, and so is that low blow that went downtown.
00:25:00I was just about to say, JR, that I still, you talk about the game being frustrated,
00:25:04I still don't see it, or I didn't see it up until this point, in the game's face.
00:25:09I think he's so focused.
00:25:11I don't think the game is in any hurry tonight to end this.
00:25:14I think he's just determined to get it done.
00:25:16And Michaels going right back to that vulnerable area, to say the least.
00:25:23Now on three occasions.
00:25:25There's only so much you can stand.
00:25:26And a right hand.
00:25:27Let's knock down.
00:25:28But how much pain is Triple H in after those three low blows?
00:25:32Irish whip, Michaels falling in the game now, in big time trouble.
00:25:41Shawn Michaels, he may be as Jackson Brown says, running on empty.
00:25:45But Michaels with a cover and a kick out by the game.
00:25:48Michaels did not have the strength on that exchange to hook the leg and cinch up the game.
00:25:54Triple H.
00:25:57Triple H to get it done.
00:25:59Triple H to the outside, that knee to his lower back.
00:26:04Michaels trying to fight for verbally fire with fire here.
00:26:07Triple H face first into the hell in a cell, and the cell, I'm sure, enjoys it.
00:26:14Well, I think this is a smart move by HBK.
00:26:18He needs to, he now needs to use that cell as a tag team partner.
00:26:24Because one on one, well, Shawn hadn't been faring too well.
00:26:29Bad ride, worst landing, unenviable destination.
00:26:36Look at that again, once again, listen to this.
00:26:42Impact.
00:26:43That's a human being's body being thrown into an inanimate object.
00:26:50This steel steps, I guess, the steps of the cousin of the hell in a cell.
00:26:55They're all in it together.
00:26:57Anything that's inside that demonic cell is, as you say, fair game.
00:27:02With a handful of hair.
00:27:08Uh-oh, my God.
00:27:09You gotta be kidding me.
00:27:11This could do it.
00:27:12You gotta be kidding me.
00:27:13This could be a difference maker.
00:27:14This could be a difference maker.
00:27:15On the steel steps.
00:27:17My God, Michaels, deep into God Almighty.
00:27:20Michaels elevated.
00:27:21Up those steps, right onto the floor.
00:27:25That was probably as big a difference maker as that pile driver would have been.
00:27:32On the steps, being thrown off, backdrop off those steps.
00:27:35Michaels may not be able to recover from this.
00:27:38Yeah, check this out from a better angle here.
00:27:40Oh, man.
00:27:42You heard the splat of a man's spine on the floor.
00:27:47Oh, look out.
00:27:48And now what?
00:27:49I guess it's, your guess is as good as mine.
00:27:52Whatever's under the ring can be utilized.
00:27:55Under the ring, over the ring, around the ring.
00:28:01Field chair.
00:28:02Don't tell them what's under, Edwin.
00:28:04Slap shot by the game, right on the spine of Shawn Michaels.
00:28:13And Michaels has gotta be from head to toe in as much excruciating pain as a human being should ever have to experience.
00:28:24And now what is going through this twisted mind of Triple H.
00:28:29Who's capable of any kind of dastardly deal?
00:28:33Look at this.
00:28:34My God will steal steps.
00:28:36Let's toss the steps in the ring.
00:28:39Like they were nothing.
00:28:40Mike Hilda trying to reason with the game.
00:28:42That's right.
00:28:43Hilda having to save his breath.
00:28:44Triple H on the steps.
00:28:47And I'm driving to Michaels.
00:28:48And Michaels.
00:28:49About one shot.
00:28:52Going to the solar plexus on Triple H.
00:28:55And another hard one.
00:28:57Triple H.
00:29:00Trying.
00:29:02Trying for him by Shawn Michaels.
00:29:04If I were the referee, I'd try to get those steel steps out of the ring.
00:29:07And somebody could just inadvertently fall on or against those things and that would end.
00:29:12And Michaels.
00:29:13How in the hell was he doing?
00:29:15Michaels just nipped up.
00:29:17Yeah, but he's back down.
00:29:19Back down just as fast.
00:29:20That back has to be killing him.
00:29:22Michael trying to stand.
00:29:26Most in the game.
00:29:27Come get me.
00:29:28Come get me.
00:29:30Here I am.
00:29:31I got something for you.
00:29:33It could've be.
00:29:34Michaels looking for sweet tin music.
00:29:37My God.
00:29:38You better be kidding me.
00:29:40Michaels just bounced off those green steps.
00:29:45And the only music I think we're gonna hear is the fat lady singing.
00:29:50It's over, JR.
00:29:51Michaels hit.
00:29:52Michaels hit.
00:29:54Oh, my God.
00:29:55I told you.
00:29:56Oh, my God.
00:29:57Michaels has been deeply lacerated.
00:30:02And the blood running through his eyes, through his lips and mouth.
00:30:07I think his entire face was smashed.
00:30:09That blood's coming out of his mouth.
00:30:10Yeah, come out of his nose.
00:30:11Oh, no.
00:30:12Come on, Triple H.
00:30:13Enough is enough.
00:30:14I know it's hell in a cell.
00:30:16But Michaels is a human being.
00:30:18I told you.
00:30:19Just look at the look on the face of Triple H.
00:30:21It's not frustration.
00:30:22It's determination, JR.
00:30:24Nothing is gonna stop that man from destroying Shawn Michaels.
00:30:28Don't do it.
00:30:29Just don't do it.
00:30:30Reach in your heart.
00:30:31Oh, my God.
00:30:32He did it.
00:30:33Triple H did it.
00:30:34Oh, Shawn Michaels blood is all over those steel steps.
00:30:38He asked Triple H to reach in his heart and find some little part of
00:30:43compassion for Shawn Michaels.
00:30:46The only thing I can say is that mercifully, you've gotta believe that this is over.
00:30:51There's a cover.
00:30:53They got it.
00:30:54They got it.
00:30:55My God, Shawn.
00:30:56Listen to this, the steps.
00:31:02Man.
00:31:04See Shawn Michaels head bounce off those steel steps.
00:31:09Absolutely.
00:31:14I just think right now, King Shawn Michaels has gotta be just instinctively kicking out.
00:31:19He can't be, he's not able, can't be mentally able to put thoughts together in any kind of,
00:31:25any kind of succession or any kind of logical order.
00:31:29It's all on guts and instinct.
00:31:31He is in, Shawn is in serious trouble.
00:31:37Can Shawn Michaels survive this damning career altering ride through this steel and
00:31:46case hell in a cell?
00:31:47Shawn, huh?
00:31:48You want hell?
00:31:49I got it.
00:31:50You can feel the hatred between these two men.
00:31:57You can feel the angst between these two men.
00:32:00Shawn.
00:32:01Who at one time, as you said, were closer than brothers.
00:32:05We all remember their DX days.
00:32:07And it has come to this.
00:32:11It has come to this where someone's career could very likely be ended here.
00:32:20Triple H asking, they're telling Shawn.
00:32:22Come on.
00:32:23Asking, you want hell?
00:32:24Shawn, let's give it to a battering ram.
00:32:27Michael's face and head like a battering ram.
00:32:30And again, Triple H could give a damn.
00:32:33And the cage, the cell, cares less.
00:32:36You know, JR, I thought I'd never say this in a hell in a cell match.
00:32:42But I honestly think that the referee should, well, the referee should think about stopping
00:32:47this match.
00:32:48I can't disagree with that.
00:32:52I will not disagree with that.
00:32:53Michael's face got about a hamburger.
00:32:56That's a human, that's an epidermis being left on that cage.
00:33:01And Michael is gonna be scarred and marked for life after this.
00:33:08Once again, this is the match that Shawn Michael wanted.
00:33:14Why, I don't know, but this is what he wanted.
00:33:17Triple H, indeed, calculatingly cruel, is the taunt of pain.
00:33:24A man that likes to hurt people.
00:33:26Especially someone that he was so close to.
00:33:31Triple H has never had an ally like Shawn Michaels was in Triple H's career.
00:33:37Never.
00:33:38And he never will again in my view.
00:33:39Well, Yarn Anderson's spine buster just shook Michael's liver.
00:33:45And I hope he's gotten up.
00:33:47Well, you said Triple H never had an ally like Shawn Michaels.
00:33:51He's obviously never had an opponent like him either.
00:33:53But all while they were friends, all while they were allies in DX,
00:33:57there was always that question, JR.
00:33:59Which one of these men were the better of the two?
00:34:02It was always there.
00:34:04It was always in the back of each one of their minds.
00:34:06And that's what this is all about tonight.
00:34:08That's where we are.
00:34:10That's why these two men are in hell together.
00:34:12Michael's lower back, killing it.
00:34:14He's losing a lot of blood.
00:34:16But by God, Shawn Michaels is not gonna quit.
00:34:19Michaels continues to fight with everything he's got.
00:34:22With every bit of his heart and soul.
00:34:24But the game just seems to be too much here tonight.
00:34:27The sleeper applied by Triple H.
00:34:31And this is such a strategically sound, perfect maneuver for this point in time in the match.
00:34:42And it might be a fitting end to this Hell in a Cell.
00:34:45Shawn Michaels left unconscious in a pool of his own blood.
00:34:50And that's what the game, you gotta believe.
00:34:52You gotta know, weren't all along.
00:34:53And Michaels trying to get an adrenaline rush here.
00:34:56Look at this crowd behind him.
00:34:57And they are.
00:34:58And the game.
00:35:00Man.
00:35:01We're face first until the top turnbuckle.
00:35:03At least, at least Michaels now has brought himself a little bit of time.
00:35:10Game got addled there.
00:35:15He's trying to shake it loose.
00:35:17I agree.
00:35:18He's in La La Land right now, but he's gonna have to brief focus.
00:35:22There he goes.
00:35:23This guy, Triple H, the game.
00:35:26Oh, here we go.
00:35:27Pedigree time.
00:35:28No, counter.
00:35:29Michaels countered to Pedigree into the DDT.
00:35:32Oh, man.
00:35:33That could do it.
00:35:35Michaels countered to Pedigree, which I guarantee you it would have been over, into the DDT.
00:35:43And Triple H's head that time was the one that was doing the bouncing.
00:35:48Michaels, he's only breathing.
00:35:55Thank God for that.
00:35:57But he's not moving.
00:35:58It's Shawn Michaels.
00:36:00Triple H.
00:36:02Still some life left in the game.
00:36:05Beginning to stir.
00:36:07Referee surveying the action, but there's no count outs.
00:36:11There's no telling how much blood Shawn Michaels has lost here.
00:36:17Michaels reaching, and Michaels now has the weapon that Triple H brought into this ring.
00:36:26That steel chair.
00:36:27Triple H may.
00:36:29May, I was about to say, he may regret bringing that chair in, and right at this moment,
00:36:36I'm sure the game regrets bringing that chair in the ring.
00:36:39That was a deadly chair shot, that you see the results.
00:36:43Oh, boy.
00:36:44That's how deadly it was.
00:36:46The game's been opened up badly.
00:36:50This is the supreme gut check, where both men bleeding.
00:36:56Listen.
00:36:57Look, Shawn still has that chair, JR.
00:37:02There was no blocking that.
00:37:04Oh, mighty again.
00:37:06You can only imagine what that does to it in the game's brain.
00:37:14I mean, you can't be the same.
00:37:19There's a cover, and Michaels got all the pants on the down, and this time it was a game.
00:37:25What's scary about those chair shots is, you know, naturally, from that impact, your skin is lacerated.
00:37:32You start to bleed on the outside, but unfortunately, your brain is bruised.
00:37:36You start to bleed on the inside as well.
00:37:38That's what's so dangerous.
00:37:40Face buster by the game, and Michaels, the impact taking him all the way outside.
00:37:47But look at Michaels, as soon as he hit the floor, he's looking under that ring.
00:37:50Is there something?
00:37:51Yes, there is something.
00:37:52You have got to be kidding me.
00:37:54You have got to be kidding me.
00:37:56I told you there was no telling what was under there.
00:37:59There's actually a wicked little smile on the face of HBK.
00:38:03The man that introduced ladders to the WWE, Shawn Michaels, is putting a ladder.
00:38:10And these fans here in Columbus, Ohio, have come to their feet here.
00:38:16And JR, you asked earlier, you queried, could Shawn Michaels reach down and
00:38:20get to the depth of where he's been before?
00:38:22I think he's answering your question right now, isn't he?
00:38:25Absolutely.
00:38:26Michaels won the first ever.
00:38:28My God!
00:38:29Look out!
00:38:30Look out!
00:38:31Look out!
00:38:32The ladder is a battering ram.
00:38:33Right into the bloody face of the cerebral assassin!
00:38:35Look out!
00:38:36Look out!
00:38:37Look out!
00:38:38Look out!
00:38:39Look out!
00:38:40Look out!
00:38:41Look out!
00:38:42Look out!
00:38:43Look out!
00:38:44Look out!
00:38:45Everything legal in this environment.
00:38:47As sad as it is to say, there can be no disqualification.
00:38:52Check out this ladder to the face of the game.
00:38:56And then after that, Shawn drove it into the rib cage.
00:38:59Now look, it's Triple H.
00:39:03Triple H backing off, wait a minute.
00:39:05He's not saying he's had enough, is he?
00:39:06Let's negotiate, and the Michael in the right hands.
00:39:09Triple H trying to keep up as far as a corner, and he was cornered all right.
00:39:12And Michael's now taking advantage.
00:39:14Michael's trickled that right hand like he may have broken it.
00:39:16Come on, John.
00:39:18No.
00:39:19Look out, no.
00:39:22The ladder conveniently placed in the far corner.
00:39:29Look at Michael's, get up, get up, let's just get up, my God.
00:39:36It's the second time, Triple H has had a lot of use on him now four times.
00:39:43And I don't think Shawn is through yet.
00:39:48He came here to settle this thing tonight.
00:39:51He asked for this hill in a cell, he demanded this match.
00:39:53No matter what it takes, Michael's is gonna finish the job here.
00:39:57The referee asking Triple H if he wants to call it quits.
00:40:03Look at the blood just was pouring from his head, look at that, JR.
00:40:06What do you say up?
00:40:09And I think he heard the Triple H certainly telling the referee emphatically no in so
00:40:14many words.
00:40:15There is gonna be no quitting by Triple H or Shawn Michaels in my estimation.
00:40:23God, what that's impact, the ladder, the top rope, the floor, surrounded by steel,
00:40:28a bloody man on the floor, and now what is Shawn Michaels thinking?
00:40:32I don't know, but I said it earlier about Shawn Michaels, I think he would have been good
00:40:36if this match could have ended, but now I'm beginning to think that Triple H ought to maybe
00:40:41think about living to fight another day.
00:40:43Barely, barely moving, and not that Shawn Michaels is moving that quickly either.
00:40:51Look at this and listen again.
00:40:53Triple H needs to realize that there would be no disgrace if he would have stopped this
00:40:57thing right now.
00:40:58I agree with that King, it wouldn't be.
00:41:01It wouldn't be, it wouldn't make you know a lesser man.
00:41:04Almost like, I hate to use this term for Michaels, but it's almost like Michaels is possessed.
00:41:11Well, he has that killer instinct, all right?
00:41:13He wants to finish this so that there's never any doubt in the future.
00:41:18One thing about it, tonight we're gonna find out who is the better man,
00:41:29who is the best of all time.
00:41:36Well, right now it just doesn't look like Triple H, does it?
00:41:40I'm in shock, I'm almost speechless at this, the beating that both of these men
00:41:45have administered to each other.
00:41:47Just, they've both lost a great deal of blood.
00:41:51Their bodies have gotta be ravaged with pain.
00:41:54I still can't get over that, that just wicked little smile we saw earlier on the face of
00:42:01Shawn Michaels when he first found that ladder.
00:42:03And that ladder has certainly been a difference maker.
00:42:05Michael setting the ladder up.
00:42:10Well, who knows?
00:42:11Wait, the game, the game looking for the pedigree.
00:42:14He's not been able to hit that pedigree.
00:42:16Look out, look out here.
00:42:17Shawn Michaels hit that hill.
00:42:18The game catapulted face first, right into that ladder.
00:42:23And the game leaving his own blood all over the canvas.
00:42:28Everywhere he falls, there's a puddle of blood left.
00:42:32Shawn Michaels now just hoping to fall across.
00:42:37Michaels does.
00:42:38The arm over.
00:42:39He got the cover to get three.
00:42:40No!
00:42:41I don't even know how Triple H is capable of hearing the referee's counter.
00:42:45He probably just feels it out of instinct.
00:42:48But the thing about it is that Michaels has, his strength is so lessened.
00:42:53He's lost so much blood, he's not able to hook up these pinning combinations.
00:42:59Both of these men, their strength has to be waning.
00:43:01Somebody's gotta hit the home run here.
00:43:03But does either one of these men have enough strength to put it out of the park anymore?
00:43:08Well, that's the question.
00:43:09That remains to be answered.
00:43:11Look at him!
00:43:12Man, that could have been the end all right there.
00:43:15Michaels went right to that back.
00:43:17He went for the elbow, landed on his back.
00:43:20And Shawn Michaels took the ultimate supreme high risk chance in this environment,
00:43:26in his condition, with his back as it is for naught.
00:43:31But when you take the big chance, you pay the big price sometimes.
00:43:34And that looks like what happened.
00:43:36Now Triple H can just, he can get one hand across Shawn.
00:43:40He did it!
00:43:41Covers!
00:43:42The cover!
00:43:43And Michaels, Shawn Michaels, somehow, some way, is able to get that shoulder up.
00:43:48And again, Triple H so weak, just like Michaels.
00:43:53He got an arm over it, Michaels.
00:43:55That's all Triple H could do.
00:43:56Well, some way, JR, I have a feeling that that's the way this match is gonna end.
00:44:00These men are gonna beat each other to bloody pumps until there's absolutely nothing left of either of them.
00:44:06And somebody's gonna just either fall across the other one or be able to drape one arm across.
00:44:12These men have went well past 30 minutes.
00:44:15This has gotta be the longest Hell Nacelle match in history.
00:44:19I mean, they're humans.
00:44:20How much can their anatomies take?
00:44:23I understand Will to win, but Triple H taking those right hands.
00:44:27Michaels landing those straight, sickening right hands.
00:44:31Look at how big Michaels' right hand is.
00:44:33His right hand looks like it's swollen to twice its size.
00:44:37It could be broken.
00:44:38Imagine just getting the Holy Hell beat out of you for over 30 minutes straight.
00:44:44Michaels' ring finger, his little finger, both crooked.
00:44:47It looked like his knuckles are swollen to twice their size.
00:44:51The cover by Michaels and Triple H gets a shoulder up with King, I'll tell you.
00:44:56The guts of both these men, whether you like both of them or you don't.
00:45:00It really doesn't matter.
00:45:01You've gotta admire the courage and what these two men are putting their bodies through
00:45:06just to prove who is the better man.
00:45:09And I'm beginning to wonder, JR, is either one of these men gonna lose this match?
00:45:14They're both so determined.
00:45:16It's like they're so determined, not necessarily to win, but they're so determined not to lose.
00:45:22Well, somebody's gonna win tonight.
00:45:24And somebody's gonna lose tonight.
00:45:26Triple H is going downstairs.
00:45:28Man, that was a forbidding shot right to the shoulder into the steel ring post.
00:45:37And that ring post very unyielding.
00:45:40I think knowing both of these men the way I do, JR, I think the will not to lose is stronger
00:45:49than the will to win.
00:45:50Neither one of these men.
00:45:52Wow, it's all about competition.
00:45:56And this is a raw pay-per-view.
00:45:58And that's what it's about, is competition.
00:46:01Intense physicality.
00:46:03And you won't see this anywhere else.
00:46:06And look at this now, the game bringing in a table.
00:46:10Well, both of these men have to look at this match as probably the biggest in their careers.
00:46:18It's the end all match, and neither one of these guys can afford to lose this.
00:46:22And to show you the perverse personal issue, you're probably right.
00:46:28The biggest match in both their careers, and it's not for the world title.
00:46:32That's what it means to both men.
00:46:34Shawn Michaels hasn't moved.
00:46:36He's been lying over that.
00:46:38He can't move.
00:46:39That middle rope, that second turnbuckle.
00:46:41Somewhere, somehow, he muscles.
00:46:48Just a little more strength.
00:46:51A little more offense.
00:46:54This is so intense.
00:46:56The physicality is completely indescribable as Michaels scores again with what we think is a broken right hand.
00:47:04Where is he getting it from?
00:47:06Kurt Lace knocked down to his knees, and Michaels, Kurt Lace can't even get his hands up to protect himself.
00:47:13Shawn Michaels, three shots.
00:47:16And that's to the skull of a man that's been hit in the head with a steel chair in this match.
00:47:22As aggressively, as stiffly as anything I've seen in years.
00:47:28Don't forget that ladder.
00:47:29Now what?
00:47:31Kurt Lace out on it.
00:47:33Look at Michael, that's a free shot.
00:47:35Right in the head.
00:47:36And the game.
00:47:37Helplessly lying on that table.
00:47:40Michaels.
00:47:41Well, Triple H earlier brought a steel chair in the ring and it came back to haunt him.
00:47:47Do you think this table that Triple H brought in is gonna come back to haunt him as well?
00:47:51My God.
00:47:52My God.
00:47:53Shawn Michaels climbing as high as he can go.
00:47:56One, two, one.
00:47:57And through the elbow.
00:47:58Michaels with the elbow, off the ladder.
00:48:02Through the heart, through the table, to the pins.
00:48:06A crowd chanting for HBK.
00:48:13We may have done it.
00:48:18We may have reached that point where which one of these men is gonna have the final strength to cover the other.
00:48:24Look at this.
00:48:25A lot of pumping and cracking.
00:48:30It may not have just been the table.
00:48:32There's a cover by Michaels.
00:48:33There he is.
00:48:34He got the other.
00:48:35He's got the other.
00:48:36He's got the other.
00:48:37I cannot believe this, JR.
00:48:38I am absolutely.
00:48:39I believe it.
00:48:40Astonished of the toughness and intensity of both these men.
00:48:44Michaels trying to get body on body here.
00:48:47And he finally does.
00:48:48And Triple H able to power out over that uncanny upper body strength of his.
00:48:54What it is, Shawn, like you said earlier, he doesn't have the power, the strength left to be able to hook Triple H's leg.
00:49:01All he can do is just basically lay his body weight across Triple H.
00:49:04This is one night that we will never forget.
00:49:12On June the 13th, 2004, you can tell him, folks, he has saw the best.
00:49:18And Michaels now tuning up the band.
00:49:21Don't tell me.
00:49:22It only takes one shot for sweet ten music.
00:49:25Michaels has only gone for it once in this entire match.
00:49:29If he hits it, it's over.
00:49:30The game with a low blow.
00:49:35The game dodged the right foot of Michaels, able to go downstairs.
00:49:44John completely exposed in a low blow of the worst kind.
00:49:49Look at this, the pedigree.
00:49:51Triple H hit the pedigree.
00:49:53But can he cover Michaels?
00:49:55If Triple H can make the cover, it's gotta be over.
00:49:58Man, this is carnage.
00:50:04This is legal human torture.
00:50:11And finally, JR, like you said earlier, this match may mercifully be over.
00:50:17The arm over of the game.
00:50:18Will it be?
00:50:19No, it's not!
00:50:20My God, how much is it gonna take for one of these two phenomenal athletes to win this match?
00:50:28I can't believe it.
00:50:30They just refuse, they refuse to lose.
00:50:35It's amazing.
00:50:37As far as careers are concerned, this match will have deadly consequences.
00:50:44Look at, Michaels is using Triple H to stand, and Triple H is using Michaels to stand up.
00:50:53These men have both pushed each other to the left.
00:50:58He got it, Michaels got it.
00:51:01The Sweet 10 music.
00:51:05And Michaels collapsed after connecting with Sweet 10 music.
00:51:10Michaels can somehow just muster the strength now to roll his body towards Triple H.
00:51:15I never thought he had this ending, but look.
00:51:17God, what impact.
00:51:19What impact.
00:51:20Michaels won the very first Hell in a Cell seven years ago.
00:51:28It looks like he has a chance here if he can make the cover to win this one.
00:51:33That's right, Triple H has never lost one, I'm afraid, until now.
00:51:37Shawn Michaels moving, inching closer to the game.
00:51:42I think he's got it, JR.
00:51:44That's gonna be it if he can just get that arm across.
00:51:49Michaels got the arm on.
00:51:50Here it is.
00:51:51It's gonna be.
00:51:52My God.
00:51:53My God, how much more can these two men take?
00:51:58How much more can they give?
00:52:01That's the question.
00:52:02What more can these two men do to each other?
00:52:05I just, I don't know what we're gonna prove here.
00:52:08I shudder to think of an answer to that question.
00:52:12What more can these two men do to each other?
00:52:19Somehow, JR, I'm sure they'll think of something.
00:52:22Michaels, such a far away look in his eye.
00:52:27The expression of Michaels' face, his face tells this story.
00:52:31He's gotta be thinking, what does it take?
00:52:36I've given everything I have.
00:52:38Triple H going downstairs.
00:52:40Somehow, some way going downstairs.
00:52:43And now the game, trying to go back to what brought him to the dance.
00:52:47The pedigree, here's the second pedigree.
00:52:50Triple H collapses and falls to his back.
00:52:55And Michaels, luckily for him, falls on his stomach.
00:53:00Right, after delivering the pedigree, right now, unfortunately,
00:53:05the game is in the most precarious position.
00:53:07These men are gonna need to be stitched.
00:53:10You've got to believe there could be hospital time.
00:53:1335 minutes these men have been beating each other senses.
00:53:20That in itself is perverse.
00:53:2345 minutes inside Hell in a Cell breaks all records.
00:53:29But at what price, at what price, two magnificent competitors,
00:53:36rock them or not, are putting themselves through this Hell that they can never,
00:53:45in my view, ever, ever recover from.
00:53:49The carnage, ladders, smashed tables, dented chairs, and two broken bodies.
00:53:58This has been a sinister, sinister, ill-fated match.
00:54:07And the referee can't do a damn thing.
00:54:10But hope and pray that one of these two men will be able to beat the other.
00:54:18And we're gonna stay here as long as it takes.
00:54:21These fans just showing their respect to these two, as you say,
00:54:29great athletes, for just surviving, being alive at this point.
00:54:35Michael's trying to get up, turning at least to his side here.
00:54:39They've lost so much blood.
00:54:42There's no telling what kind of structural damage these two men have.
00:54:46They have given us their heart and their soul in this demonic structure tonight.
00:54:52And it is not over yet.
00:54:54They've given us their heart and soul, and they've given their bodies to this cell.
00:54:59Oh, my God!
00:55:00The third category, three!
00:55:04Another pedigree.
00:55:06But this time, Michaels, for him, unfortunately, landing on his back.
00:55:11Michaels is not moving.
00:55:13The game, trying, trying to get an arm over.
00:55:17Will he be able to?
00:55:19He's just shifting his weight right now.
00:55:22He's gotta somehow fall on Shawn.
00:55:26There, he's done it.
00:55:27Michaels, down, the count of three is over.
00:55:31My God, it is worth of Lio.
00:55:35Triple H!
00:55:40What?
00:55:43Unbelievable.
00:55:45Unbelievable.
00:55:47Unbelievable.
00:55:5047 minutes and 26 seconds.
00:55:55A pure hell incarnate.
00:56:00You're right, it's amazing, amazing match.
00:56:05We're talking about career threatening.
00:56:11We're talking about cold searching.
00:56:14The supreme professional gut check.
00:56:18And we have seen it in spades here tonight.
00:56:23They could get this thing untadlocked.
00:56:26I think both of these men need some medical help.
00:56:33We said early tonight that the Hell Nacelle is where careers go to die.
00:56:41I hope that I am wrong on that analogy.
00:56:51You can't say anything more than, that picture is worth more than a thousand words.
00:56:56These two men both completely gave their all here tonight.
00:57:01Triple H has won this Hell Nacelle match.
00:57:05Triple H is still undefeated in Hell Nacelle matches.
00:57:10It's not medical help that's coming to the ring, but it is three concerned individuals.
00:57:17Evolution coming down to, I hope, only retreating Triple H.
00:57:23Triple H, their leader, the leader of evolution, stepped up to the plate tonight, big time.
00:57:33Time to play the game.
00:57:35I can't believe it, Flair.
00:57:36The indignity of Ric Flair getting in John Michael's face, a defenseman John Michael.
00:57:42John Michael left his heart and his soul in this ring tonight, but so did the game.
00:57:50I will give the devil his due.
00:57:53Well, we still haven't seen, both of these men may have to be physically carried out of this ring.
00:58:01Both of them.
00:58:06As a small kid, when I first became a wrestling fan, I was often, almost on a weekly basis,
00:58:13astonished and amazed at the athleticism, the toughness, and the courage of the men I saw on my television.
00:58:22But I can tell you here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, being here live and in person, this is one match that if I live to be a hundred, I will never forget.
00:58:32Triple H has been moved again.
00:58:43He has been battered again.
00:58:45But was he beaten?
00:58:47No.
00:58:48No.
00:58:49I don't, you know, I don't even know if, I don't know if Triple H realizes it's one.
00:58:54I am the game and I be too.
00:58:58So move on out here and try like a fool.
00:59:01Try to figure out what the news gonna be.
00:59:04Come on over.
00:59:05John Michael's competed in the first Hell in a Cell seven years ago.
00:59:10Little did he know that his career could very well end up inside Hell in a Cell seven years later.
00:59:20Because I am, as sure as I'm an Oklahoma Sooner, I am so worried about that man's back.
00:59:29He could have a broken hand from using that fist.
00:59:33He lost a ton of blood.
00:59:35Well, the longest running, most storied rivalry in WWE history has ended.
00:59:50And certainly not the way Shawn Michaels would have wanted it.
00:59:56But he's certainly got nothing to be ashamed of.
00:59:58Absolutely not.
01:00:00The soul of a warrior gave us everything he had.
01:00:04Three pedigrees.
01:00:06And this crowd is, not one person has left.
01:00:11They are hushed.
01:00:13Shawn's eyes are open.
01:00:15The crowd is absolutely as we are stunned.
01:00:19And appreciative, as they should be, as the world has to be.
01:00:31With the athletic display that these two men just gave for us.
01:00:36It's an amazing accomplishment that he is gonna be able to, it looks like, leave the ring under his own power.
01:00:43The brutal finality of the Shawn Michaels Triple X rivalry has ended inside hell in a cell.
01:00:53What an amazing effort on an unforgettable night.
