00:01:01Welcome to Monday Night Raw
00:01:03We are live from the Q
00:01:05The quick and slowest arena in Cleveland
00:01:08And Raw's general manager, Eric Bischoff, is already in the center of the ring
00:01:14And boy, he does not look happy
00:01:17In just a moment, in just a moment, I am going to, I'm gonna call every wrestler
00:01:39Who is under contract to Raw
00:01:46Who is back in that locker room
00:01:50To come down to this ring
00:01:55Because I am going to give him a piece of my mind
00:02:00Because last night
00:02:06Last night in Survivor Series
00:02:09All of the Raw superstars
00:02:11They let you people down
00:02:13But more importantly
00:02:18They let me down
00:02:20Which is why
00:02:23The first thing that I did when I got to the building today
00:02:26Is I made a big ass sign
00:02:29I put it in all the locker rooms
00:02:31And I put everyone on notice
00:02:33That failures
00:02:36Like last night
00:02:38At Survivor Series
00:02:40Will not be tolerated
00:02:44So with that in mind
00:02:50With that in mind
00:02:51With that in mind
00:02:52I am ordering
00:02:55Every one of the Raw superstars
00:02:58On the entire roster
00:02:59To get down to this ring
00:03:01And face the music
00:03:07Wow
00:03:08King Joey, I tell you what
00:03:09I would not want to be in the locker room right now
00:03:11I would not want to be one of the wrestlers
00:03:13Well they're not going to be in the locker room
00:03:14They're going to have to come out here
00:03:15And as he said, get a piece of his mind
00:03:17I would agree that they're all failures
00:03:20That man has been in a bad mood all day
00:03:23He looks miserable
00:03:25Even the coach
00:03:26Even me
00:03:27Didn't go around Eric Bischoff today
00:03:28What?
00:03:29Okay, is there some kind of audio problem?
00:03:31Because if there is
00:03:32It needs to get fixed right now
00:03:34Get down to this ring right now
00:03:37Where is everybody?
00:03:40Why would you want to make him even madder
00:03:42Than he already is
00:03:43Fine, you don't want to come to me
00:03:45I'm going to come to you
00:03:46And I'm going to fire the first person
00:03:48He's going to fire who?
00:03:57Well this we know
00:03:58That he's not a wrestler
00:03:59I think he was about to say
00:04:00He's going to fire the first person he sees
00:04:02But look who he sees
00:04:03He sees the chairman of WWE
00:04:06Mr. McMahon
00:04:08Mr. McMahon
00:04:10Joey we know it's Mr. McMahon
00:04:12But my question is
00:04:13It was supposed to be the Raw locker room
00:04:15I love it when Mr. McMahon walks with a purpose like that
00:04:20I'm just happy he's not walking in us like that
00:04:26Well he seems to have a smile on his face
00:04:28He seems to be in a pretty good mood
00:04:32Boy
00:04:33That's only good for him
00:04:38Well this is like Survivor Series
00:04:41It's not working out the way Eric Bischoff planned
00:04:43Well you never know
00:04:45Don't
00:04:46Don't say anything yet
00:04:47Did you say that
00:04:52You were going to fire the first person that you see?
00:04:56By the way I'm Vince McMahon and I'm the chairman of the board of WWE. How you doing?
00:05:06And Eric I don't really want you to fire me you see I love my job. I mean I really do. I love this business. I you see Eric you're not going to fire me. You're not going to fire anybody.
00:05:28See erica
00:05:31See Erica the reason that these Raw Superstars aren't coming down here to your beck and call is because I told them they didn't have to
00:05:40didn't have to this is not about them this is about you now you told me at survivor series
00:05:53you told me you had three goals you were going to accomplish number one you said that um team
00:06:01raw was going to defeat team smackdown and that didn't happen did it there
00:06:07and then you said that you eric bischoff general manager of raw were going to
00:06:16single-handedly defeat teddy long general manager of smackdown and uh
00:06:22that didn't happen either did it there
00:06:27and what was the third goal you said oh i know what it was you said that
00:06:32kurt angle was going to defeat john cena for the wwe title and that didn't happen either
00:06:37see you uh you set these goals for yourself and and then you you failed to reach
00:06:50these goals so some people could construe that that quite frankly you you're a
00:06:57failure
00:07:00don't get me wrong you you've had a little bit of success here and there i mean
00:07:08you had a little couple of months run there at wcw till you ran that into the ground and burned it
00:07:13down but uh but then again you've had some success here on raw but is that what's going to happen now
00:07:19eric huh you're gonna burn raw down to the ground my raw huh is that what you're gonna do eric speak to me
00:07:25i think my record speaks for itself
00:07:28shut up
00:07:29your record sucks
00:07:38see eric
00:07:45you see eric there's an expression that perception is reality perhaps you've heard me say that before right
00:08:04and uh let me just say it again perception is reality
00:08:11so therefore if these people perceive you to be a failure
00:08:16then they're gonna perceive monday night raw is a failure
00:08:23and if they perceive monday night raw is a failure then they're gonna perceive
00:08:30me vincent kennedy mcmahon is a failure
00:08:34i may be a lot of things to a lot of people eric but a failure is not among them
00:08:41so therefore
00:08:46tonight i'm giving you a
00:08:49simple ultimatum
00:08:51that's right
00:08:53and that is
00:08:55set a goal i don't care what it is
00:08:57set a goal
00:09:00and achieve it
00:09:01that's fair enough right
00:09:04for a change
00:09:07set a goal
00:09:08and accomplish it okay
00:09:09you can do that right
00:09:10good i'm glad to hear that because if you don't
00:09:13if you don't set your goal and achieve it tonight
00:09:15i could very well be looking
00:09:17for a new general manager
00:09:19that's the way it is eric
00:09:25mr mcmahon
00:09:29with all due respect
00:09:31i think you and i
00:09:33you and i both know that
00:09:34it's not as easy
00:09:36as it sounds
00:09:37i mean
00:09:39despite all my
00:09:40so-called
00:09:41deficiencies
00:09:43the fact is
00:09:44since 2002
00:09:45i've held this show together
00:09:47i mean look at smackdown
00:09:49the general general manager's position there has been a revolving door
00:09:53i'm still here
00:09:53i've been doing
00:09:54i've been doing a pretty good job
00:09:56and i
00:09:59i i just think
00:10:01well honestly
00:10:04i'd ask you to reconsider
00:10:06because i i really don't think you'll have
00:10:09that easy of a time
00:10:10finding anybody to
00:10:12to replace me when you think about it
00:10:14that's a good point
00:10:17you'd hate to see bischoff go wouldn't you
00:10:20excuse me would you repeat that last line you just said
00:10:23i i mean when you think about it
00:10:25this is a very difficult job
00:10:27but i just don't think you can find anybody
00:10:29that could possibly replace me
00:10:32really i'm pretty sure
00:10:39here comes the money
00:10:42here you go
00:10:44what
00:10:45what

00:10:58jane mcmahon is looking dapper
00:11:01and eric bischoff
00:11:03looks worried
00:11:04well i think eric bischoff has a good reason to be worried right now
00:11:10he stands in the ring face to face with the chairman of the board
00:11:13he calls himself irreplaceable
00:11:15and then jane omec shows up
00:11:17oh man

00:12:39well that may may very well be
00:12:42i'm not gonna argue that point

00:12:49well let me tell you what eric bischoff better make
00:12:51he better make a rabbit come out of a hat somehow tonight

00:15:20moments ago
00:15:22moments ago
00:15:24moments ago
00:15:26exclusively on wwe.com unlimited listen to what carlino said about sean michael
00:15:31If Gallico were the captain of Team Raw, not only we would have been cooler, but we would have won.
00:15:38That's why tonight, I'm going to beat Shawn Michaels.
00:15:42I'm going to prove to you, Mr. Bischoff, Mr. McMahon, and everyone else who the real captain of Team Raw should have been.
00:15:51That's my point exactly.
00:15:52What kind of a leader, what kind of a captain is knocked unconscious?
00:15:55Uh-oh, uh-oh, look at this.
00:15:57Is knocked unconscious with all his teammates.
00:15:59Look at the disrespect.
00:16:01Let all of his teammates get eliminated and then gets back in the game.
00:16:05Carlito now hammering Shawn Michaels with lefts and rights after spitting in his face, sending him outside the ring.
00:16:10Carlito goes right out after Shawn Michaels.
00:16:12Look at this, now choking him with his T-shirt.
00:16:15Strangling him with that T-shirt is Carlito.
00:16:17Did the bell ring in this match? That's the underweight?
00:16:19I believe it did, King.
00:16:21Shawn Michaels driven backwards, lower back first into that fabricate.
00:16:24Shawn Michaels, lower back injuries, very well documented.
00:16:27And out of the aggressiveness of Carlito, really showing us what a leader really is all about.
00:16:32Well, where was that aggressiveness last night in the match against the SmackDown Superstars?
00:16:36Well, Carlito was in there giving it his all as Shawn Michaels was knocked out, not even watching the match.
00:16:41Shawn Michaels showed true grit last night, coming back from odds.
00:16:443-1, almost winning the match for Rawl.
00:16:48Look out here!
00:16:49What an innovative backbreaker by Carlito!
00:16:53Innovative and very, very smart, given Shawn Michaels' back injuries, substantial back injuries.
00:16:59Carlito came into this matchup with a game plan to target the lower back of Shawn Michaels.
00:17:04And quite frankly, it's a great game plan.
00:17:06Let's take a look at this again!
00:17:07All right, that is a move, Coach, that is designed to, well, take advantage of the one weakness that Shawn Michaels may have in this match.
00:17:16Exactly, the lower back, the upper back as well, but also it knocks the wind out of you.
00:17:21Side headlock takeover by Carlito, trying to wear down Shawn Michaels.
00:17:24Referee Mickey Henson right there, one count only, Shawn Michaels.
00:17:27He's not going to get pinned that way.
00:17:29You know what bothers me right now?
00:17:30Who knows?
00:17:30You know what bothers me is that Shawn Michaels comes out here.
00:17:33He's all looking at the crowd, looking at the sky, all happy.
00:17:35Well, they lost last night.
00:17:37Carlito is upset about it.
00:17:38A true champion, a true winner would not be happy tonight.
00:17:42You think Shawn Michaels likes to lose?
00:17:43You think he accepts losing?
00:17:45Looks like it does to me.
00:17:47I don't think anybody involved in Raw was happy about last night.
00:17:50I can assure you I certainly wasn't.
00:17:52We had to sit there and get punked out by Michael Cole and Taz during that match.
00:17:56Shoulder block down goes Shawn Michaels.
00:17:58Dropped down by Shawn Michaels.
00:17:59Up and over goes Carlito.
00:18:01Beautiful hip cross by Shawn Michaels.
00:18:03Nicely done.
00:18:03Carlito kicks him off.
00:18:05Carlito back to his feet.
00:18:07Go ahead.
00:18:07I just can't think of anything more that could be done by Shawn Michaels in that match.
00:18:11One count of.
00:18:12He could have won.
00:18:12He could have won.
00:18:14Why did Carlito win?
00:18:16You know, the big picture last night.
00:18:18Yes, we lost to SmackDown.
00:18:20The fans saw a fantastic Survivor Series.
00:18:22A fantastic, entertaining, interpromotional pay-per-view.
00:18:25That may be good enough for you, Joey Styles, sitting up here, your first Survivor Series.
00:18:29You're all happy.
00:18:29That's not good enough for the coach.
00:18:31I'm better than that.
00:18:32Raw is better than that.
00:18:33Well, I'll tell you somebody that may have seen their last Survivor Series.
00:18:36Don't say it.
00:18:37Eric Bischoff.
00:18:37Come on.
00:18:38He said it.
00:18:38Carlito's still in control with his side headlock now on the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.
00:18:44Shawn Michaels has got to find his way out of this side headlock.
00:18:47Well, it's hard for me to concentrate right now because I'm up here trying to brainstorm of what we can do,
00:18:51how I can help Eric Bischoff.
00:18:52I can't really help him sitting out here.
00:18:54And it hurts.
00:18:54Set a goal.
00:18:55Got to set a goal.
00:18:56Waistlock standing, switch, roll-off, attempted, Carlito hangs on to the road.
00:18:59Shawn Michaels thrown to the outside, holds on to the top rope, and Shawn Michaels skidding the cap.
00:19:04Wait up, down, and a straight, close on, and out goes the Heartbreak Kid.
00:19:08That's all nice and well.
00:19:09It gets the crowd on their feet, but what does it accomplish?
00:19:12Nothing, as Carlito's right on top of Shawn Michaels.
00:19:15Well, Carlito also said in that little interview on WWE Unlimited that he thought Shawn Michaels made him look bad last night.
00:19:23Shawn Michaels doesn't make Carlito look bad.
00:19:25His hair crystal makes him look bad.
00:19:26Shawn Michaels, the showstopper, a three-time WWE Champion, a one-time WWE Champion, and Carlito is taking the fight to Shawn Michaels here tonight on Raw.
00:19:36And we've seen Carlito ascend the ladder very nicely the last few months, but here right now, the last four or five minutes may be the best that I've ever seen Carlito perform, raising his game to another level.
00:19:47Carlito, a former United States Champion, a former Intercontinental Champion.
00:19:51And you know he wants to be WWE Champion someday, and to get to that top contender spot, you've got to beat people, future Hall of Famers like Shawn Michaels.
00:20:00I believe.
00:20:01Let me just say this, Coach.
00:20:02I spoke a moment ago about WWE Unlimited.
00:20:04We want to remind all the fans that during every commercial break here on Raw, you can go to WWE.com.
00:20:09Cover!
00:20:10Two and two can only say one for a big hit.
00:20:12Can't get an exclusive action.
00:20:14And it continues right there on WWE Unlimited.
00:20:17Carlito now stomping away on Shawn Michaels now hammering away with left hands.
00:20:22Carlito all over the Heartbreak Kid.
00:20:25Look at Carlito, look at the intensity of Carlito.
00:20:28Very aggressive here tonight.
00:20:29You think maybe, just maybe, the Heartbreak Kid thought that Carlito would not be as aggressive as this?
00:20:34You think so?
00:20:35Shawn Michaels coming in here all just wanting to play around.
00:20:38Carlito's not in a plan mood tonight.
00:20:39And neither am I.
00:20:41Maybe Carlito knew that Shawn Michaels took the most physical punishment perhaps in that elimination matchup last night and wanted to take advantage tonight and score a huge victory.
00:20:50And style, style, your job is to do play-by-play, not make excuses for a great superstar like Shawn Michaels.
00:20:55You're right, I shouldn't be doing analysis, Coach.
00:21:01Oh, man.
00:21:03Damn, that's gotta hurt.
00:21:06I'm gonna analyze that for you.
00:21:08That would feel like somebody's is, you know, putting a blowtorch against your chest.
00:21:14You know, I will say this, that because of everything from the superstars went through last night at Survivor Series,
00:21:23it's amazing to me that they can come out tonight and give this kind of an effort.
00:21:26I will say that on both men's cards.
00:21:28Look out, look out.
00:21:28Reversal high cross body, Shawn Michaels.
00:21:30He's on top of the game.
00:21:33That was close, very close, two and a half.
00:21:35Two and a half, but quite frankly, this matchup has been almost off Carlino.
00:21:42Wait a minute, I wouldn't say that.
00:21:44I would.
00:21:45Okay, maybe Carlino would have the edge if it were being scored on points.
00:21:49Well, yes, more near full.
00:21:51There's the forearm.
00:21:53We've seen this before.
00:21:55You get on status, you get on status.
00:21:58Wait, wait.
00:21:58Here's the knee buckle.
00:22:01Shawn's knee buckle.
00:22:02Baseball fly by Carlino, that was Shawn Michaels.
00:22:15Carlino doesn't care if Shawn's injured or not right now.
00:22:18Carlino's out here to win this match.
00:22:20But Shawn Michaels obviously has done something to that left knee.
00:22:25Get him back.
00:22:26Can Shawn Michaels continue this matchup?
00:22:27We need to get somebody out here.
00:22:29Check out his knee.
00:22:30We are back live on Raw.
00:22:34Shawn Michaels taking on Carlino.
00:22:36And as you fans watching, WWE.com Unlimited know during the commercial break,
00:22:40Carlino all over the left knee of Shawn Michaels.
00:22:44And this is why he's targeting that knee before the break, Shawn Michaels here.
00:22:49Watch his knee, watch his knee, kicks up his left knee.
00:22:53It looks like he may have pulled a hamstring, it looked like.
00:22:55It didn't look like it hyperextended, it looked like it may have been a pulled hamstring.
00:22:59Well, whatever happened, the match has to continue.
00:23:01And as you just said, the beautiful part about watching Unlimited is watching
00:23:05Carlino continue to dominate the Heartbreak Kid.
00:23:08Well, the match does not have to continue.
00:23:10Shawn Michaels can choose not to continue, but showing true grit the way he did
00:23:14last night, the showstopper always continues.
00:23:19Unfortunately, right now, as you can see, Shawn is just, he's on one leg.
00:23:23He's just, well, if he's gonna go down, he's gonna go down fighting.
00:23:27That's the kind of man that Shawn Michaels is.
00:23:29Now, Carlino, the kind of man he is, has no problem taking advantage of the opportunity.
00:23:33It's all about getting a W, baby.
00:23:35That's what it's all about.
00:23:36Carlino's ever the opportunist.
00:23:37Yes, man.
00:23:39It's also about Carlino proving to Shawn Michaels that, indeed, he should have been the leader,
00:23:43with the captain and Survivor Series.
00:23:45Well, I question the wisdom of this move, Shawn.
00:23:47Watching the wisdom.
00:23:48Climbing the turnbuckles with that knee?
00:23:50He don't need to do this.
00:23:51Well, look at this.
00:23:53Shawn Michaels perhaps looking for the moonsault, took too long to climb the turnbuckles,
00:23:57of course, with that left knee, and Carlino took advantage.
00:23:59Well, Carlino may have inadvertently helped Shawn Michaels, but not allowing Shawn Michaels to
00:24:04damage that knee with whatever move he was gonna do off the top rope.
00:24:07I'm not really getting crushed on the top turnbuckles anymore.
00:24:10I'm sure, Coach, that Carlino is out there trying to help Shawn Michaels right now.
00:24:13I said inadvertently.
00:24:14Yeah, let's get help.
00:24:15Carlino looking for the belly to back, superplex Shawn Michaels,
00:24:18fights him off with an elbow right to the mush.
00:24:20Nicely done by Shawn Michaels, who again now is attempting to accept the turnbuckle
00:24:25on that shaky left knee.
00:24:27And it's moving so slowly.
00:24:29No.
00:24:29Shaggy's the right word.
00:24:32He barely got there.
00:24:34He dropped the elbow, but could not leap high enough in the air to get the altitude,
00:24:38to thus bring down the velocity for the full impact on the chest cavity of Torlito.
00:24:42And whether or not you appreciate the heart of Shawn Michaels, that's a different story.
00:24:46But sometimes you gotta be smarter than to attempt moves like that when you're injured.
00:24:50Well, I think Shawn probably knows what it is, and from the looks of it, he asked me,
00:24:54I think it's a pulled hamstring.
00:24:55If that's the case, I mean, it's just very, very painful, but when you're gonna do what
00:25:00you're gonna do, I don't know if you're gonna hurt it anymore.
00:25:03The problem is, to hit Sweet Shit Music, he's gotta push off of the left knee.
00:25:08That's true.
00:25:08But he's tuning up the band on the left, see, he can't, he can't push.
00:25:12Very, very good point, and there you go, does it still.
00:25:15Cover, cover, two, no.
00:25:19Well, for once you were right on top of it, and guys, it's just a matter of time before
00:25:24that bell rings in Carlito's hand is going to be raised.
00:25:27That remains to be seen, Carlito looking very frustrated that he can't put away Shawn Michaels.
00:25:32Frustrated, I think he's crying.
00:25:33He's not looking frustrated, that's a cool look, something you know nothing about.
00:25:37It's not cool to cry.
00:25:39Not on Raw, there's no crying on Raw.
00:25:41Look out, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:25:43So quick.
00:25:44Shawn Michaels crumbles down to the canvas, not being able to push off of that left leg.
00:25:48So quick and yet, so cool.
00:25:51Now I'm beginning to think it's gotta be something, it's gotta be a knee.
00:25:54Here we go, here we go.
00:25:55I said it was gonna be finishing and hurrying right now.
00:25:57Go ahead, Carlito.
00:25:58Nice escape by Shawn Michaels.
00:26:00Carlito almost gets thrown to the right, he hit it, he hit it, he hit it.
00:26:05What?
00:26:06Shawn Michaels hits, sweet chin music, cover, hook in the leg.
00:26:10He hit it, he hit it, he hit it, he hit it, he hit it, he hit it, he hit it, he hit it.
00:26:16The heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels.
00:26:20Well, just when Carlito thought that Shawn Michaels' knee was not gonna hold up, it did.
00:26:26It was there to deliver that one final super kick.
00:26:30But what kind of damage has been done to the knee of Shawn Michaels?
00:26:35He wins tonight, he survives tonight.
00:26:39That's a good point, he survived tonight.
00:26:41But I don't think I've ever seen somebody dominate a match so much.
00:26:45Carlito in control from start to finish, and then not finish the job.
00:26:50WWE does not have an off season.
00:26:53I tell you what, can we see one more time where Shawn Ripley got hurt in him?
00:26:58Just watch his top, left knee.
00:27:00Slow motion, if you can see.
00:27:02I'll tell you what, that is the way.
00:27:05Something may have popped in there.
00:27:06Yeah, I think so.
00:27:07Look at this, he tries to hit Sweet Chin Music, can't push off that left knee.
00:27:11Carlito wins up and hits the BDT.
00:27:13Right on top of it, as you said.
00:27:15Finally, holding on to the top rope, that's how he did it, he held on to the top rope.
00:27:22Yeah, Shawn Michaels got lucky, but I'll say this, Carlito proved to me tonight,
00:27:25not only is he championship material, he is main event material.
00:27:29And you saw how much he pushes a guy the caliber of Shawn Michaels.
00:27:34Absolutely correct, and I think we would all agree if we had to do it again,
00:27:39we would choose Shawn Michaels as our team captain.
00:27:41Carlito has Shawn Michaels' number right now, and in the future.
00:27:45Bank on that.
00:27:46Bank on that.
00:27:50Eric!
00:27:51Last night Survivor Series had to be the biggest screw job in WWE history.
00:27:59How does a SmackDown referee get involved in a Raw match?
00:28:03Tell me how.
00:28:04De'Vore was the assigned referee, not a SmackDown referee.
00:28:09And that crowd, they stood up and they cheered when that SmackDown referee made the cap.
00:28:15It makes me sick.
00:28:16I want vengeance.
00:28:18I want that WWE title.
00:28:20Do you hear me?
00:28:22That's right, listen.
00:28:27I know your problems like numbers are.
00:28:30But what the boogeyman did last night is nothing compared to what I'm gonna do to you.
00:28:35If I don't get what I want, do you hear me?
00:28:38Don't piss me off!
00:28:47Oh my gosh.
00:28:48Not a good night for Eric Bischoff.
00:28:52The Raw is live from The Q, the Quicken's Lone Arena in Cleveland, Ohio!
00:29:00Last night, the Survivor Series team from SmackDown unloaded their offensive arsenal,
00:29:06not once, but twice.
00:29:08They had to do it twice to eliminate The Big Show in the main event.
00:29:12It took the entire SmackDown team to do in The Big Show.
00:29:16The Big Show is still moving.
00:29:22And Randy Orton in trouble as well.
00:29:26And there's a close line from Hell!
00:29:30Mysterio, 6'1-9!
00:29:316'1-9!
00:29:32And here comes the Legend Killer!
00:29:34Come on, Ong!
00:29:35Yeah!
00:29:36Yeah!
00:29:37Yeah!
00:29:38Mysterio, you gotta get up!
00:29:39No, not another.
00:29:40How many of these are we gonna see?
00:29:41Oh!
00:29:42High from Hell!
00:29:43And Big Show is still moving!
00:29:44The guy's a freak!
00:29:45Mysterio!
00:29:46Bam!
00:29:47Senton!
00:29:48Here's the cover!
00:29:49One!
00:29:50Two!
00:29:51Mysterio eliminated The Big Show!
00:29:52Is that gonna happen?
00:29:53The SmackDown special?
00:29:54Is Mysterio gonna knock off The Big Show Tuesday night?
00:29:57Well, tomorrow night, Rey Mysterio will not have everybody to help him!
00:30:02It's a big UPN special!
00:30:04Davis vs. Goliath!
00:30:05Tomorrow night, 9 o'clock, 8 central, a SmackDown special!
00:30:09Check your local listings!
00:30:10What a night that's going to be tomorrow!
00:30:12And this time it's gonna be David and Goliath, but a very angry Goliath!
00:30:16I got that right!
00:30:17Last night, Survivor Series, an outstanding inter-promotional pay-per-view,
00:30:22but one match that has been burned into our memories forever!
00:30:26Last.
00:30:27Man.
00:30:28Stand.
00:30:29Well, I certainly won't ever forget it.
00:30:30Unfortunately, I can assure you that Ric Flair will never forget it.
00:30:33I've never seen Flair bloodied and battered like he was last night.
00:30:38It certainly was a night when you knew two men would go to any length to get the job done,
00:30:43and both men did that.
00:30:44In the end, the game was simply the game.
00:30:47Check it out!
00:30:49The following is a Last Man Standing match!
00:30:53It's gonna be serious, it's gonna be nasty!
00:30:55No pinfalls, no submissions, no count-outs, no disqualifications!
00:30:59You have to render your opponent unable to stand to answer a ten count!
00:31:04Triple H is dominating Flair, just like I knew that he would,
00:31:07because Triple H knows that tonight he needs to prove he is the very best!
00:31:12Triple H is an egomaniac!
00:31:13Wait a minute, that's a screwdriver!
00:31:14That is a screwdriver!
00:31:15Come on, Flair!
00:31:16Stay down!
00:31:17Or I'm gonna put you down for good!
00:31:18Get out of the way!
00:31:19He's gonna pedigree through our table!
00:31:20Oh my God!
00:31:21Oh my God!
00:31:22Oh my God!
00:31:23Oh my God!
00:31:24Ric Flair just back-dropped Triple H right through the table!
00:31:27Flair's coming on strong!
00:31:28There's still blood left in the Nature Boy!
00:31:29Right now, Ric Flair is showing why he has been in the game for so very long!
00:31:31And Flair just wearing out the game now with lefts and rights and chops and no!
00:31:34Oh no!
00:31:35Pedigree!
00:31:36Pedigree!
00:31:37Pedigree!
00:31:38Pedigree!
00:31:39Triple H hit the pedigree on Ric Flair!
00:31:40Give me another one!
00:31:53Triple H go to the Pedigree and does!
00:31:55But will it be enough?
00:31:57Another third pedigree goal!
00:31:58Will it be enough?
00:32:00How about a third-degree goal?
00:32:02It ends like this for the Nature Boy.
00:32:05What is this?
00:32:06What is this?
00:32:06Oh, there's the...
00:32:08Oh, baby.
00:32:11Oh, my God.
00:32:13Baby, it is over.
00:32:16Triple H has done it at Survivor Series.
00:32:22Ric Flair absorbed everything that Triple H had to dish out,
00:32:26but the sledgehammer, the sledgehammer,
00:32:29too much for any human being to withstand.
00:32:41Hi, Eric.
00:32:42Are you okay?
00:32:45I've been better.
00:32:48Maria, what do you want?
00:32:50Um, well, I just wanted to ask you
00:32:53if you think you're going to get fired tonight.
00:32:56What did you just ask me?
00:33:02Are you going to get fired tonight?
00:33:08Why would you...
00:33:09Who told you to come in here and ask me that?
00:33:14Well, Shane McMahon,
00:33:15he thought it'd be a good idea for me
00:33:17to come in here and ask you.
00:33:18Let me tell you something, Maria.
00:33:28I'm still the general manager of Raw.
00:33:31So you know what I'm going to do?
00:33:34I'm going to send you out to that ring
00:33:35to have a match with Kurt Angle.
00:33:39But I'm an interviewer.
00:33:40I'm not a wrestler.
00:33:41I'm a wrestler.
00:33:42I'm a wrestler.
00:33:45Congratulations.
00:33:48Tonight, you're a wrestler.
00:33:51Because Vince McMahon,
00:33:53you wanted me to set a goal for myself?
00:33:55Well, guess what?
00:33:56My goal is to never have to hear
00:33:59you ask a question again,
00:34:01especially a stupid question.
00:34:03Now, get the hell out of my office,
00:34:05get into that ring,
00:34:06or are you fired?
00:34:08Are we actually going to see Kurt Angle
00:34:10wrestle Sweet Little Maria?
00:34:16Oh, we're back live on Raw,
00:34:19and there you see Maria in the ring
00:34:21awaiting her opponent, Kurt Angle?
00:34:23You asked if we were actually going to see
00:34:25Kurt Angle face Sweet Little Maria.
00:34:27Well, Sweet Little Maria is in the ring
00:34:30at the urging...
00:34:31Oh, no. Wait a minute.
00:34:33Well, there's the referee.
00:34:41Oh, it's official.
00:34:41I guess there is going to be a match.
00:34:44Daivari, Kurt Angle,
00:34:44personal referee for each and every one
00:34:47of his matches.
00:34:48But for this match,
00:34:49he needs Daivari
00:34:50each and every one of Kurt Angle's matches.
00:34:55He's a damn good referee, by the way.
00:34:57You know what?
00:34:58There's already a referee in the match.
00:34:59Well, we don't need...
00:35:01We don't need two referees.
00:35:03We certainly don't need Daivari.
00:35:03We just need Daivari.
00:35:04We just need Daivari.
00:35:08What is Eric Bouchard?
00:35:15Daivari, bad-mouthed Maria.
00:35:16Yeah, look at this now.
00:35:20Chad Patton says,
00:35:21I'm going to referee this match,
00:35:22not you.
00:35:25Daivari says,
00:35:26I'm the referee for Kurt Angle's matches.
00:35:30And that's true.
00:35:30I mean, it's...
00:35:31Kurt Angle,
00:35:33Dressels,
00:35:34Daivari refrains.
00:35:35It's very simple.
00:35:36Why can't Chad Patton understand that one?
00:35:38Wait a minute, let's see.
00:35:39I can hear what these guys are saying.
00:35:47Daivari's telling Chad Patton to get out of the ring.
00:35:52Chad Patton's telling the fans,
00:35:54let's watch you out of here.
00:35:55It's like they're in the middle of a baseball game,
00:35:57and he just got ejected.
00:35:59Come on.
00:35:59Look at him now.
00:36:02Come on, let's get him out of the ring.
00:36:03All right, come on, let's get him out of the ring.
00:36:05All right, come on.
00:36:06All right, come on.
00:36:07And that may be the first punch Chad Patton's ever thrown.
00:36:08Good thing he connects.
00:36:09Come on, let's get around now, come on.
00:36:11Daivari's leaving.
00:36:12Good, Daivari's leaving, I guess so.
00:36:14Tucking his tail between his legs, he's leaving.
00:36:15Look out, look out, look out.
00:36:17Come on, he just hammered Chad Patton.
00:36:18You are as dumb as you look.
00:36:19If you're not, Daivari's gonna leave just like that.
00:36:21Are you kidding me?
00:36:37Anybody associated with Kurt Angle doesn't walk away.
00:36:42Daivari's strangling Chad Patton.
00:36:45Daivari, Kurt Angle's personal referee is strangling Chad Patton today.
00:36:51The Camel Clutch, DeVorey's walking the Camel Clutch up, Chad.
00:36:56For the record, Chad Patton started this.
00:36:59He threw the first punch.
00:37:01Not what we need, referee on referee violence.
00:37:04Well, I think now if the decision's been made, who the referee's gonna be.
00:37:08More than just violence, I mean.
00:37:11Chad Patton being thrown out of the ring after DeVorey, sped on him.
00:37:16This guy is as low as they come.
00:37:20Unfortunately, folks, Chad Patton will be unable to referee this match.
00:37:24So DeVorey will be the referee just like we said all along.
00:37:28I thought you gotta be kidding me.
00:37:30They're just...
00:37:32Kurt's bigger than this. He is not gonna do this.
00:37:34This is surreal.
00:37:36This is not wrong.
00:37:39The fans are being censored.
00:37:49How do they get that done every week?
00:37:55I'm not sure Kurt Angle even hears the fans tonight. He is just on the music.
00:37:59He's looking at a blind rage.
00:38:01Maria, listen, listen.
00:38:03Calm down, alright?
00:38:05Don't be afraid.
00:38:07I'm not gonna hurt you.
00:38:09Okay, this is Eric Bishop's idea.
00:38:11It's a stupid idea, alright?
00:38:13I'm a gentleman.
00:38:15I don't wrestle women.
00:38:17Okay, so listen.
00:38:19Don't be afraid.
00:38:21All I want you to do is come out here, give me a hug, and we'll call it a day.
00:38:27Okay?
00:38:29Just come out here.
00:38:31I'm a gentleman.
00:38:33You got my word.
00:38:55Wait a minute.
00:38:57Angle slam on Maria.
00:39:01You've gotta be killed.
00:39:05The angle lock.
00:39:07It's George Cena.
00:39:09The champ is here.
00:39:11The WWE Champion training punches with Kurt Angle.
00:39:16Shoulder blocked.
00:39:17Look at how close though.
00:39:21Wait a second, this match didn't even have a chance to get started.
00:39:24Match.
00:39:25It's the masterpiece.
00:39:27The masterpiece from behind.
00:39:29The master lock.
00:39:31He's got the master lock on the WWE Champion.
00:39:35Yeah, baby, and nobody, but nobody breaks the master lock.
00:39:39And now Kurt Angle, back in.
00:39:41He's helpless.
00:39:42The WWE Champion is helpless and wide open.
00:39:45He's at the mercy of the merciless Kurt Angle.
00:39:48And look at this referee.
00:39:50At least there could be, my gosh.
00:39:54Well, but Maria better appreciate this, because John Cena is paying the price for trying to come to her age.
00:40:00The WWE Champion being decimated by the masterpiece and Kurt Angle.
00:40:05Hold on.
00:40:08Hold on.
00:40:09Hold on, Kurt.
00:40:10Hey, hold back.
00:40:11You gotta save a little bit for later on.
00:40:14I'm gonna give you what you want.
00:40:16And Masters, you listen up too.
00:40:18You're gonna like this.
00:40:20Mr. McMahon wants me to have a goal, huh?
00:40:25Well, my goal is to see Cena tap out and lose the WWE Championship.
00:40:33So let's make it official tonight.
00:40:38Live on Raw.
00:40:40It'll be Cena defending the WWE Championship against Kurt Angle.
00:40:47And Chris Masters.
00:40:52What?
00:40:53New champion, baby.
00:40:56No disqualification.
00:41:00No disqualification.
00:41:01No count out.
00:41:03Oh, my gosh.
00:41:04Triple threat.
00:41:07Submission match.
00:41:09Good grief.
00:41:10Talk about the deck being stacked.
00:41:13What are you smiling at, Coach?
00:41:14That's his goal?
00:41:15That is a fantastic goal.
00:41:17One that everybody wants to see.
00:41:19No disqualification.
00:41:21No count out.
00:41:22Triple threat.
00:41:23Submission match.
00:41:24No, look at this.
00:41:25Angle slam.
00:41:26Angle slam on the WWE Champion, who I don't think has a submission move.
00:41:31I've never seen a new submission.
00:41:33Kurt Angle's got the angle lock.
00:41:35The masterpiece has the master lock.
00:41:37Hey, Styles, Cena has the five knuckle shuffle.
00:41:42I don't think, though, that that's a submission, baby.
00:41:46My goodness, we're gonna leave Raw tonight with a guaranteed new WWE Champion.
00:41:52Either Kurt or the masterpiece.
00:41:55What a goal, Eric Bishop.
00:42:01Check this out.
00:42:02Unbelievable.
00:42:03Kurt Angle assures us that all he wants is a hug from Maria and then some gentleman.
00:42:08Look at this.
00:42:09The bar says ring the bell.
00:42:10And Kurt Angle delivers an angle slam.
00:42:13It's beyond distasteful.
00:42:15And here's the angle slam on the WWE Champion, John Cena.
00:42:20Who now must defend the title at a triple threat.
00:42:23No disqualification.
00:42:24No countdown.
00:42:25Submission match.
00:42:26Styles is gonna be easy picking on that man tonight.
00:42:30It's gonna be beautiful, and I can't wait to sit right here and watch it.
00:42:35Eric Bischoff may have saved his job as general manager.
00:42:38We're back live on Raw moments ago.
00:42:45Let's take a look at what went down.
00:42:47Kurt Angle, disgusting display.
00:42:50This is not a pretty sight.
00:42:52As pretty as Maria is to see her angle slam.
00:42:55And then when he was gonna go for the angle lock on Maria, in came the WWE Champion,
00:42:59John Cena to the rescue.
00:43:02And I think John Cena would have done, well, he would have probably finished Kurt Angle off,
00:43:06except for the masterpiece from behind.
00:43:09Heavy clothing blown to the back of the neck, setting up the unbreakable master lock
00:43:14of the WWE Champion.
00:43:18And this is what always happens to John Cena.
00:43:20Sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, an angle slam.
00:43:23And I tell you what, now it's gonna cost him.
00:43:25Are you kidding me?
00:43:26It's gonna cost him big time tonight.
00:43:27Oh, yeah.
00:43:28Well, listen, Eric Bischoff has pulled one off.
00:43:30I mean, did we ever in our wildest dreams think that we would see a triple threat title
00:43:35match here on Raw tonight?
00:43:36Think about the ramifications of this.
00:43:38Eric Bischoff set a goal to save his job to make John Cena tap out and lose the WWE Championship
00:43:45triple threat submission match, which first of all means that John Cena
00:43:50actually doesn't have to submit to lose the title.
00:43:52On top of that, on top of that, you got the master lock for Chris Masters.
00:43:57You got the angle lock for Kurt Angle.
00:43:59Have you ever seen John Cena go for submission victory?
00:44:02No, no.
00:44:03You're starting to catch on.
00:44:04You're starting to get it.
00:44:05I'm so proud of you, kids.
00:44:06So proud.
00:44:07Unbelievable main event we've got tonight.
00:44:10It's ridiculous, and it's gonna be great.
00:44:12Well, what we got right now is not half bad.
00:44:14Check this out, guys.
00:44:15The following is a six diva tag team match scheduled for one fall.
00:44:25Introducing first, Mickie James and the WWE Women's Champion, Trish Stratus.
00:44:32Oh, Trish Stratus and her super fan, Mickie James.
00:44:37Let's take a look back to Survivor Series last night.
00:44:42Interpromotional matchup for the WWE Women's Championship.
00:44:46Trish Stratus defending against Molina.
00:44:48Mickie James with the assist pulls Trish out of the way.
00:44:51The chick kick from the outside.
00:44:53The bulldog from the top.
00:44:55And Trish retains the WWE Women's Championship.
00:44:59Oh, it was a great victory.
00:45:01Uh, well, was that the only victory for Raw last night in the end of promotional matches?
00:45:06Trish really owes the debt of gratitude to Mickie James once again.
00:45:10Trish always seems so, well, not appreciative of what Mickie tries to do for her.
00:45:15And their tag team runner, Premier City, the 2005 Raw Divas Search winner, Ashley.
00:45:23Hey, Sal, just for the record, if you didn't know, keep Tits to lose focus when the Divas come out.
00:45:29So you may have to repeat a couple of days.
00:45:31Believe me, I'm focused right now.
00:45:32My eyes are so focused on those.
00:45:34You see what I'm talking about?
00:45:36You see what I'm talking about?
00:45:37Pants, are those low riders?
00:45:38Woo!
00:45:39Let me show you how to move your body.
00:45:43Making her way to the ring.
00:45:45From Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Candace Michelle.
00:45:48Oh, you guys want to talk hot?
00:45:50Candace Michelle is definitely too hot for TV.
00:45:53Candace Michelle is a fashion play.
00:45:56Come on.
00:45:57Come on, baby.
00:45:58Take it over.
00:45:59There it is.
00:46:00Oh, man.
00:46:01Whatever she wears, she wears it.
00:46:03Oh, so well.
00:46:04Candace, wave your magic wand.
00:46:06You wave yours.
00:46:07I'll wave mine.
00:46:08Come on.
00:46:09Oh, man.
00:46:10Take it over.
00:46:11Oh.
00:46:12First, from La Cain, California, Victoria.
00:46:15Victoria!
00:46:17Victoria, a former WWE Women's Champion herself.
00:46:20Look at the termination on her face.
00:46:23I wish she had come out at the same time Candace Michelle did.
00:46:25That last time they kissed her when they got in the ring.
00:46:28And from Boyin, Idaho, Victoria Wilson!
00:46:31It was great. It reminded me of the time I saw Mommy get some business calls.
00:46:35But King, think bigger than that.
00:46:37How about Victoria, Candice, and Tori doing that together?
00:46:40How about puppies? Look at that.
00:46:43Oh, you gotta love puppies.
00:46:45Tori Wilson, here on Raw, you are watching WWE Monday Night Raw
00:46:52live from the Q, the Quicken's Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
00:46:56We've got a Sixth Diva Tag Team matchup.
00:46:59Oh, I'd like to kiss the front of me and the ball.
00:47:07Referee Jack Doan to officiate this matchup.
00:47:10Lucky, lucky man that he is.
00:47:12I hope this is the longest match of the night, guys.
00:47:15Settle in. Get comfortable.
00:47:17Mickie James against Tori Wilson starting these off-collar elbow tie-up.
00:47:23Tori backing up Mickie James.
00:47:25See the collars.
00:47:27You would like to, though.
00:47:29Slapped to the face.
00:47:30Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:47:32Wastelock sending Mickie James to the outside.
00:47:35Come on.
00:47:35Got him on the hair now.
00:47:36Nice block by Mickie James, shot to the midsection.
00:47:39Tori Wilson, he's turnbuckle.
00:47:41Nicely done by Mickie James, from minus Diva by Mickie.
00:47:44Look at this.
00:47:45Cross body block.
00:47:46Two and no, two Cavaliers with Referee Jack Doan.
00:47:49You know, you can say what you want about Mickie James being a cheerleader for Trish, but she has proven over the course of the last few weeks, she's very, very tough.
00:47:55Now she can wrestle, absolutely, Kobe.
00:47:57Without a doubt, she's great.
00:47:58Look at this.
00:48:00Ashley from the second turnbuckle with the double sledge, she's been coming along as well.
00:48:05Ashley now on the attacker.
00:48:06Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:48:07What a clothesline, hooking clothesline, put Ashley right in the throat to Tori Wilson, now stomping away with those white furry boots.
00:48:14Nice move by Tori Wilson.
00:48:16Did you say white furry boots?
00:48:18Yeah, she's wearing, she's wearing white furry boots.
00:48:20What?
00:48:21Out.
00:48:22Get out.
00:48:23Oh, look at that.
00:48:24She's making a nice move.
00:48:25Look at that.
00:48:26Candice and Tori make a wish, and not the kind of wish that King's been making since these divas made their entrances.
00:48:31Did I ever tell you guys I love diva matches?
00:48:34No.
00:48:35Really?
00:48:36We can't tell, King.
00:48:37Watch it now, watch this.
00:48:38Look at this.
00:48:40Very innovative headsets at the top.
00:48:41Ashley breaks free and it's stuck in the midsection and an elbow for Tori.
00:48:45Tori gets knocked off the apron as well, but down goes Ashley.
00:48:48You know, without a doubt, Victoria is the most experienced member on her team.
00:48:52But I gotta say, Candice has shown marked improvement over the past few weeks.
00:48:56Victoria, I think, is obviously the strongest member of her team, former WWE Women's Champion.
00:49:02I just said that.
00:49:04I understand that.
00:49:06You look at these divas.
00:49:07Snap suplex.
00:49:08Nice.
00:49:09He fell over.
00:49:10Beautifully done.
00:49:11You look at these divas and really trying to figure out how strong they are.
00:49:16Hey, King, he's new, baby.
00:49:18Baby step.
00:49:19Baby step.
00:49:20Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:49:21I am a play-by-play man.
00:49:22And this is a wrestling match despite the fact that the divas are gorgeous.
00:49:25Look on Ashley's pants are gonna get pulled down a little further here for a minute.
00:49:29That's almost impossible.
00:49:30Yeah.
00:49:31They've been down around her ankles before her arm.
00:49:34Oh, wait.
00:49:35Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen with a decorum.
00:49:38Victoria with the chin lock now on Ashley.
00:49:40Look what we have you for.
00:49:41Trifecta of elbows still does not free Ashley clubbing blow from behind by Victoria.
00:49:50You know, in all seriousness, Victoria and her team are being very, very smart.
00:49:54You don't want Trish or Mickey in there, accomplished performers.
00:49:57Ashley obviously knew his member, and you gotta keep her in the match.
00:50:01She's the rookie of the team, that's true.
00:50:03Victoria now on the outside.
00:50:04Whoa, whoa, nobody home.
00:50:06She went for a slingshot, somersault, leg drop, and missed.
00:50:09Ashley escaping with the tag.
00:50:11The tag is made.
00:50:12In comes Mickey James.
00:50:13Did you see that though?
00:50:14Trish was reaching for the tag, but Ashley beat her to the punch.
00:50:17Mickey James basically tagged herself in the floor.
00:50:20Trish just jabbed left and right.
00:50:22And Trish didn't look too happy about it.
00:50:24Beautiful straight right hand by Mickey James now, full head of steam.
00:50:27And again, this time with the forearms in the face, Mickey James feeling good.
00:50:31Mickey James is on a roll here.
00:50:33Spinning back kick, front kick.
00:50:35On a roll and very proud of herself.
00:50:37Spinning heel kick, cover, looking at the leg too, and no.
00:50:40Candice comes in to make the save.
00:50:41She misses, drops the elbow to Victoria, and she takes a kick as well.
00:50:45Mickey James is single-handedly really shining.
00:50:48Whoa.
00:50:49Well, I spoke too soon.
00:50:50Fantastic impact for clothesline from Victoria.
00:50:54Victoria is on the right.
00:50:56Capitolizing on Mickey James playing to the crowd and being proud of each and every move.
00:51:00Whoa.
00:51:01I'm proud of this movement.
00:51:02Look at that.
00:51:03Head scissors takeover out of the corner, beautifully done by Mickey James.
00:51:07Front kick connects, Cy Headlock now.
00:51:10What is this?
00:51:11Wait a minute.
00:51:12Is that Stratus Faction?
00:51:14Stratus Faction.
00:51:15Mickey James using Stratus Faction.
00:51:17In comes Trish Stratus taking down Corey Wilson.
00:51:20Oh, it's looking to stop Mickey James.
00:51:22Mickey James just pinned Victoria with Stratus Faction.
00:51:27Here are your winners, Mickey James, Ashley, and Trish Stratus.
00:51:33Where's Mickey James going though?
00:51:35I don't know.
00:51:36I think so.
00:51:37That's huge.
00:51:38Mickey James just pinned a former WWE Women's Champion, Victoria, using Trish's Stratus Faction.
00:51:44Oh, well, Mickey James is going out to get Trish's title.
00:51:46That's nice about winning the champion.
00:51:51Wait a minute.
00:51:52That's Trish's.
00:51:53That's Trish's championship belt, Mickey.
00:51:56Well, Trish, who should be happy with the win, obviously, from her facial expression, has mixed emotions.
00:52:03She's happy for the win, Coach.
00:52:05And he just, I'm happy for the match.
00:52:07I know women, and I know women's reactions.
00:52:11That was not a happy reaction.
00:52:13I think he's happy.
00:52:15Well, you talk about a night that we still have in store.
00:52:18Are you kidding me?
00:52:19The World Tag Team Tops are going to be on the line.
00:52:21The big Joey Kane will defend those titles against Tyson Tomko.
00:52:26And Nitsky is live tonight.
00:52:28Still on Raw.
00:52:29Yeah, but the blockbuster.
00:52:31Who would've spoken?
00:52:32Oh, baby.
00:52:33Triple Threat submission match for the WWE Championship.
00:52:37John Cena defending against Chris Masters and Kurt Angle.
00:52:42And John Cena does not have a submission hold that we know on.
00:52:46How will he retain the championship?
00:52:52Interested in your opinion?
00:52:53You understand me?
00:52:58What?
00:53:02What do you mean what?
00:53:03Eric, it's getting late.
00:53:05You'll be able to accomplish your goal this evening?
00:53:07Don't you worry about it, Shane.
00:53:09I'll accomplish my goal tonight in the WWE Championship match when Cena taps out.
00:53:15Yeah, Eric, you've been talking a lot about John Cena lately.
00:53:18And this is not some little girl we're talking about.
00:53:20We're talking about the WWE Champion in this match.
00:53:22Not Maria.
00:53:24Which, by the way, you must feel like a really big man inside
00:53:27to put Maria in that match to yield your power.
00:53:30You know what, Shane?
00:53:33I'm glad you brought up that whole power thing.
00:53:36Because, you know, I heard what you said earlier tonight
00:53:39about the fact that you never really liked me
00:53:41and you didn't want me to be here.
00:53:43And you know what?
00:53:44I appreciate your honesty.
00:53:45So I hope you don't mind if I'm honest with you.
00:53:48Well, let's be honest.
00:53:49You see, Shane, in my opinion, you're nothing more than a card-carrying member
00:53:58of the Lucky Sperm Club.
00:54:07Get away from me!
00:54:08Why are you listening to me?
00:54:09Don't you ever disrespect me!
00:54:15Don't you ever disrespect my family name!
00:54:19This is my family's business!
00:54:35Time's running out, Eric.
00:54:36Man.
00:54:43That was close for Eric Bischoff.
00:54:44He almost lost more than his job.
00:54:46What was he thinking?
00:54:48How does he say something like that?
00:54:54No count out.
00:54:57No disqualification.
00:55:00Submission only.
00:55:01This is my kind of match.
00:55:03Cena doesn't have a chance in hell to win this match tonight.
00:55:07No way.
00:55:08Especially with my own personal referee calling that match right down the middle.
00:55:12Right.
00:55:13Down the middle.
00:55:14You're damn right.
00:55:15Right down the middle.
00:55:16As soon as I even put a hammerlock on Cena, what are you going to do?
00:55:20Kurt, I'm going to ring that bell so fast, Cena's going to submit whether he wants to or not.
00:55:25You're damn right.
00:55:26Now I'm going to become the next W.
00:55:27Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:55:28Wow.
00:55:29That sounds like a great plan, Kurt.
00:55:32First hammerlock you grab and DaVari screws Cena out of the WWE title.
00:55:36Yeah, you have a problem with that?
00:55:37But there's one problem.
00:55:38DaVari screws Cena, DaVari screws me.
00:55:40Yeah.
00:55:41So you know what I did?
00:55:43I didn't just go to Eric Bischoff.
00:55:46I didn't go to Shane McMahon.
00:55:48I went to Vince McMahon.
00:55:50You son of a bitch.
00:55:51That's right.
00:55:52And hey, DaVari, you can take off that cute little referee shirt.
00:55:56Because you have the night off.
00:55:57Nah, man, you're in trouble.
00:55:59Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:56:00Hey, hey, relax.
00:56:02Because tonight we have a fresh impartial referee for my first WWE title match.
00:56:10And tonight, the new WWE Champion is gonna be me, the masterpiece.
00:56:17Yeah, you got it wrong.
00:56:22Man, the son of a bitch.
00:56:24Man, the son of a bitch.
00:56:25Man, the son of a bitch.
00:56:26Man, the son of a bitch.
00:56:27Man!
00:56:28Man!
00:56:29I'm not gonna be alive at WWE.
00:56:34Woo!
00:56:35I love coming out here and being this host of the fans.
00:56:39Awesome.
00:56:40I came all the way from Holland out here just to see WWE.
00:56:43When we come to Europe, the fans show so much enthusiasm.
00:56:46It makes you wanna come back again and again and really perform for them as only the WWE can deliver.
00:56:51You know what, these cameras make you nervous.
00:56:56I'm in Birmingham, England, and I am doing my book signing.
00:57:00Fans of the UK are very generous.
00:57:02Oh, thank you very much.
00:57:04The Big Dow Boski is in the middle of the UK right now.
00:57:09This right here.
00:57:10This is incredible.
00:57:11Well, good evening, Ireland!
00:57:15Well, good evening, Ireland!
00:57:19I'm very excited to be here.
00:57:21It's the first time I've seen WWE live.
00:57:23Just the energy and the woos.
00:57:25It's great to see all your idols that you've been watching for years.
00:57:29Just keep coming back.
00:57:30That's the main thing.
00:57:31Keep coming back.
00:57:32We're back live on Raw and Shelton Benjamin is in the middle of the ring.
00:57:40Former WWE Intercontinental Champion ready for action.
00:57:46As you guys saw, Raw in the UK and Europe was tremendous.
00:57:51Coach, you and I were over in England.
00:57:52We were over there and that's one thing they always say.
00:57:54Keep coming back.
00:57:55Just keep coming.
00:57:56I was disappointed though.
00:57:58The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:58:01Making his win in the ring from Nashville, Tennessee.
00:58:04Winning at 247 pounds, Trevor Murdoch.
00:58:09Yeah, go ahead.
00:58:10My only problem with England was I didn't see any clowns at the Piccadilly.
00:58:14Here we go, here we go.
00:58:15This matchup is underway.
00:58:17Shelton Benjamin beating Trevor Murdoch to the punch.
00:58:20Keep your eye on Shelton Benjamin going up top.
00:58:24He can fly.
00:58:25And there he comes.
00:58:27It's coming.
00:58:28What a close line from the top turnbuckle all the way to the floor on Trevor Murdoch.
00:58:33You have to say that aggression is the name of the night.
00:58:36Since we started the show, everybody that has come out has had an aggressive attitude and that's what everybody needs.
00:58:43It has set the tone for all this evening.
00:58:45The splash missed in the corner.
00:58:46Great agility shown by Shelton Benjamin and great chicanery shown by Trevor Murdoch.
00:58:52I've become a big, big team Murdoch fan.
00:58:55Well, Coach, I've been doing a little background searching on Trevor Murdoch.
00:58:59We know all the statistics.
00:59:00We know everything about Shelton Benjamin and his background, but cover one, two, and not quite.
00:59:05Not quite two.
00:59:06I've been checking into the background of Trevor Murdoch.
00:59:08He's from the south, you know, and I don't know that much about his family.
00:59:12I think he may be the product of a conjugal vision.
00:59:14Will you stop?
00:59:15No, I'm serious.
00:59:16Will you stop?
00:59:17Look at him.
00:59:18All I know is that team Murdoch certainly isn't the prettiest guy.
00:59:21No.
00:59:22In the best shape.
00:59:23But when he's in the ring, he is nasty.
00:59:24He gets it done.
00:59:25He does it his own way.
00:59:26Uh-oh.
00:59:27He looks like all the people on the Jerry Springer show.
00:59:30Shelton Benjamin looking to put the boot in the face of Trevor Murdoch.
00:59:33He blocked it, but still Shelton Benjamin again beating Trevor Murdoch to the punch profile.
00:59:37I'll tell you what, you know Team Murdoch is undefeated.
00:59:40In a bar room, Team Murdoch is undefeated.
00:59:42You would not want to meet this guy.
00:59:43Oh!
00:59:44You're right.
00:59:45I can't.
00:59:46You guys always leave without me before you go out.
00:59:47I would never meet him in a bar.
00:59:48You did that to me in England, too.
00:59:51Great right hand by Shelton Benjamin.
00:59:54Side kick.
00:59:55Side kick caught, but man, that spinning heel kick connected.
00:59:58Hook of the leg.
00:59:59Two and no.
01:00:01And since parting ways with Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch has left the glitz and glamor
01:00:06of Nashville, Tennessee.
01:00:07He's back in Waxahachie, Texas.
01:00:09And Stiles Murdoch is about as tough as it gets.
01:00:11He is very, very tough.
01:00:13Oh, man.
01:00:14Clothesline misses.
01:00:15Shelton Benjamin going for another one of those high elevation, high impact clotheslines.
01:00:19Oh!
01:00:20Face first into the canvas.
01:00:22Trevor Murdoch, cover.
01:00:23Two and no.
01:00:25That was too close to call it two and 15-16.
01:00:29This would easily, easily be the biggest win as a singles competitor that Murdoch would've
01:00:35had so far to beat Shelton Benjamin, a former Intercontinental Champion.
01:00:38Look at Murdoch's face.
01:00:39I said this last week.
01:00:40He's the only guy that can see his bottom lip without a mirror.
01:00:43Sunset flip.
01:00:44Shelton Benjamin overshot on the sunset flip.
01:00:47I think Trevor Murdoch took a half a step forward, and that's all it takes to make
01:00:51somebody miss a sunset flip from the turnbuckle.
01:00:54There's been a couple of miscues on the part of Shelton Benjamin, but like you said,
01:00:58they were aided by Trevor Murdoch.
01:01:00That's why they call it high risk.
01:01:01Yeah, it's really a testament to how good Trevor Murdoch really is.
01:01:05Trevor Murdoch set for the ride by Shelton Benjamin, hits the turnbuckles.
01:01:09And there's the splash compacting the sternum.
01:01:12Wait a minute.
01:01:13Murdoch now holding on, throwing elbows to free himself from the waistlock and does.
01:01:18Nice leverage maneuver.
01:01:20That was good.
01:01:21Murdoch got a little extra.
01:01:22Oh, that's for two.
01:01:23Handful of tights.
01:01:24He got the tights, he got the tights, and he got the win.
01:01:28Oh, man.
01:01:29That's an upset.
01:01:30Oh, baby.
01:01:31Look at that.
01:01:32Look at that face.
01:01:35That's his happy face.
01:01:36That's the look of a victor and look of a winner.
01:01:39Come on.
01:01:40That's a look.
01:01:41It looks like his neck threw up.
01:01:42Look at that face.
01:01:43The biggest victory of his career.
01:01:45That's the look of Murdoch.
01:01:47Oh, what a future this guy has.
01:01:49What a future.
01:01:50Oh, man.
01:01:51This guy has.
01:01:53Well, guys, you can't say enough about what is still to come tonight.
01:01:56Triple Threat submission match for the WWE Championship.
01:02:00John Cena defending his title against not only Kurt Angle but Chris Masters as well.
01:02:06And as we saw, both of these guys intent on being the new champ.
01:02:11And there's a look at the game.
01:02:13Triple H.
01:02:14He's headed to the ring.
01:02:15He has demanded a microphone after what he did last night at Survivor Series.
01:02:21Triple H.
01:02:22We are back live on Raw and here comes the game.
01:02:28The cerebral assassin, Triple H.
01:02:31Who last night defeated Ric Flair in a last man standing matchup at Survivor Series.
01:02:37A matchup that none of us.
01:02:39Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:02:40Styles, Styles.
01:02:41Why don't you set up for a second?
01:02:42Triple H did not beat Ric Flair last night at Survivor Series.
01:02:45Triple H destroyed Ric Flair.
01:02:47Destroying the legacy of the Nature Boy.
01:02:49Triple H finally put Ric Flair out of his misery.
01:02:52Well, you know what?
01:02:53Last night at Survivor Series I called the game a son of a bitch and I meant it.
01:02:58He had to use a sledgehammer on one of the greatest names in the history of this business.
01:03:03All I can say is that right now you see the flash phones popping.
01:03:06You hear the people cheering.
01:03:08Because they know that they watched last night.
01:03:11One of the very best that has ever been proved why he can do it all in any match necessary.
01:03:18Last night it just happened to be Last Man Standing, his specialty.
01:03:23I'll tell you what I will never forget.
01:03:25You guys both know I have an extreme history in sports entertainment.
01:03:28I have never seen anyone use a screwdriver as a weapon.
01:03:33Right.
01:03:34That was hard to watch.
01:03:35I will never forget what Triple H did to Ric Flair last night at the Survivor Series.
01:03:41I said it last night and I'll say it again tonight.
01:03:44Ric Flair had it coming and if Ric Flair would have just walked away when he needed to,
01:03:49Triple H would not have had to do, but he did.
01:03:52Explain to me one time, why, why did Ric Flair have it coming?
01:03:57By the way, if you want an update on Ric Flair's condition, he's not likely to be coming back.
01:04:02It's been brought to my attention that some of you think I'm not a compassionate man.
01:04:09But you're wrong.
01:04:14I'm a regular humanitarian.
01:04:17Look at last night, for example.
01:04:21When they took Ric Flair and that ambulance out of Joe Lewis Arena last night,
01:04:27I personally made sure that they took Ric to the finest hospital in Detroit.
01:04:35I put him in his own private suite.
01:04:40I made sure he had a nice giant plasma screen TV on that wall.
01:04:46And I made damn sure that they had the USA Network.
01:04:52Because I didn't want Ric Flair to miss one single moment of Raw.
01:05:03That's the kind of guy I am.
01:05:06Now, Ric, I know you're sitting in your hospital bed and you're watching me right now.
01:05:12And I just, I just have to say one thing to you, Ric.
01:05:22Stay down.
01:05:25Stay down.
01:05:26I know somewhere in the back of your mind you're thinking,
01:05:28I can come back from this.
01:05:30I can be the Nature Boy once again.
01:05:32But Ric, you can't.
01:05:35Come to terms with the fact that Ric Flair is gone.
01:05:47And Ric, quite honestly, I don't see what you're upset about.
01:05:51I mean, you couldn't have written a better exit from this business if you tried.
01:05:56I mean, look at it like this.
01:05:58You got to go out on top.
01:06:00You got to go out going two back-to-back pay-per-views with the greatest wrestler alive today.
01:06:11That's what Ric used to say.
01:06:13And Ric, you know as well as I do, there is no shame in you losing to the best.
01:06:25So Ric, when they let you out of that hospital, go home.
01:06:37Live out what's left of the rest of your life.
01:06:41And don't come back here.
01:06:44Because Ric, you are not wanted anymore.
01:06:51Oh, you have a problem with that.
01:07:00You disagree with what I've done to the Nature Boy?
01:07:05Is that it?
01:07:07The problem is, you know I'm right.
01:07:13You know it's what needed to be done.
01:07:16The reason you're mad is because none of you would have ever had the guts to do anything about it.
01:07:22That's what separates people like me from people like you.
01:07:29You will sit on your ass and talk about it, while people like me do something about it.
01:07:35And sure, you can sit out there in that crowd, you can hide behind the anonymity of the mob, and you can run me down.
01:07:52But the fact is, there is not a man alive that will look me in the eye and tell me to my face.
01:08:07Well, here's a man that will look Triple H in the eye, but he's going to have to look down and do it.
01:08:22Seven feet tall, 500 pounds, one half of the World Tag Team Champions.
01:08:29My God, he is huge.
01:08:31But if I'm not mistaken, Triple H wasn't finished yet.
01:08:37Well, you may be mistaken, but Triple H was finished to me right now.
01:08:41I don't think the Big Show has to say part of me much in his everyday life.
01:08:45Well, the Big Show, it's hard to describe.
01:08:55Yes.
01:09:03Look at this confrontation.
01:09:05Look at them eyeing each other dance.
01:09:19What was the last thing that came out of the mouth of Triple H?
01:09:21There's not a man alive.
01:09:23Well, Big Show looks alive to me.
01:09:27Triple H is not backing up though.
01:09:29I've known you for a long time.
01:09:33I've let a lot of the things that you've done slide.
01:09:39But after what you did to Ric Flair, I'm here to tell you, to your face, eye to eye, man to man, Hunter, you're a piece of .
01:10:07Oh, my God.
01:10:11God.
01:10:12Oh, my God.
01:10:13Right.
01:10:19You think you're a tough guy.
01:10:22I know you do.
01:10:23I know you do.
01:10:24See, I don't need a sledgehammer to put someone out of their misery.
01:10:30I can do it with my own bare hands.
01:10:36I told you a few weeks ago that your time was coming.
01:10:46Your time is here now.
01:10:48The question is, do you have the guts to fight me now?
01:11:00The question posed to the game.
01:11:12You know what the problem is?
01:11:32Oh, God!
01:11:34The problem is, Triple H is gutless.
01:11:49He doesn't have a screwdriver in his hand.
01:11:52He doesn't have a sledgehammer in his hand, and he looks gutless to me.
01:11:55He can brag all he wants to about putting Ric Flair out, but what's he doing now?
01:12:00He's backing out.
01:12:02I don't know if a screwdriver or a sledgehammer would be enough.
01:12:06The last thing Triple H is, is gutless.
01:12:09It's the last thing he is.
01:12:13Wow.
01:12:15Well, I tell you what, the Big Show is gonna stay out here,
01:12:18because the Big Show still has to compete here tonight.
01:12:21He's gotta change his focus.
01:12:22It's the Big Show with Kane, Tyson, Tomko, and Snitzi.
01:12:25World Tag Team titles on the line.
01:12:28Wow, they're gonna be on the line next.
01:12:31Man.
01:12:34Went back live.
01:12:35Tomko and Snitzi challenging Kane to the Big Show for the World Tag Team Championship.
01:12:41And as you can tell, this has already gotten underway.
01:12:43And we've been saying for several weeks now that if.
01:12:45Covered to win.
01:12:47Saved by Snitzi.
01:12:48That if there was a team out there that could challenge the Big Show and Kane for
01:12:51the Tag Team titles, it would be these two.
01:12:53A huge opportunity for Tomko and Snitzi here tonight.
01:12:57Two big, bruising brawlers who are willing to trade blows with the World Tag Team Champions.
01:13:03Or Tomko and Snitzi cover.
01:13:06Not quite who's his referee, Jack Doe.
01:13:08And speaking of the World Tag Team Champions, I gotta say that I was absolutely proud of the Big Show for
01:13:14what he said to Triple H just a few minutes ago that needed to be said.
01:13:18Great.
01:13:19Snitzi now trying to strangle Kane with that second rope.
01:13:24And you've gotta give credit to the challengers, Tomko and Snitzi, despite the very, very foul mood of the Big Show.
01:13:30They came out fighting.
01:13:32Well, let me say one other thing about that match.
01:13:34I wanna say this to Ric Flair.
01:13:35I hope he is watching right now.
01:13:37Ric, I want you to know that me personally and fans all over the world are hoping and
01:13:43praying that you will come back.
01:13:44And I just gotta say that I echo Triple H's sentiments to stay home.
01:13:50Tag into the massive Big Show who is in the worst mood we have ever seen him.
01:13:55Never have we seen this massive mountain of a man so damned angry as he is tonight.
01:14:01Styles, you're right on top of that one because usually the Big Show is smiling,
01:14:04having a good time.
01:14:05There are no smiles tonight.
01:14:07Power slam, two, no.
01:14:09Saved by Snitsky.
01:14:10It seems to be going around, all around Raw tonight though.
01:14:13Look at Kane, baby.
01:14:15Clothesline from the top turnbuckle, what elevation, what impact.
01:14:19Uh-oh, wait a minute, big clothesline.
01:14:22The Monster Kane with a clothesline that sends Snitsky to the outside.
01:14:25Tom going to the corner.
01:14:27No, they're not.
01:14:28Great teamwork being shown by the champions.
01:14:32Clothesline by the Monster Kane in the corner.
01:14:34Oh, boy.
01:14:36By the smoke.
01:14:37Whoa.
01:14:40What power shown by the Big Show on the chokeslam.
01:14:42This one's over.
01:14:43Two, three.
01:14:44Yes, it is.
01:14:45Dominate.
01:14:46I don't think there's any team in the world that could be the Big Show and Kane.
01:14:50Maybe we didn't do so well.
01:14:53And still, the world's tag team champion, the Big Show and Kane.
01:15:00Maybe we didn't do so well last night in Survivor Series, but I guarantee you,
01:15:04tomorrow night on that SmackDown special, Big Show is gonna rectify that
01:15:08when he absolutely destroys Rey Mysterio.
01:15:11Well, Big Show's corner all the way now against Rey Mysterio and especially if he ever gets a chance to face Triple H.
01:15:18But like I said, I hope that he has a straight Rey Mysterio off the bottom of his boots tomorrow night.
01:15:23I don't think there's any question about that.
01:15:24But guys, are you ready?
01:15:29It's time, baby, it's time.
01:15:30That's right, Triple Threat Submission Match for the WWE Championship, John Cena.
01:15:36Gonna get it on with Prince Masters and Kurt Angle.
01:15:40Both of these guys trying to take the title away from John Cena and that match is next.
01:15:46Let's go.
01:15:51Raw is back live.
01:15:53The SmackDown special, Raw's Big Show versus SmackDown's Rey Mysterio.
01:15:58Tomorrow night, check your local listings.
01:16:00It's at 9 o'clock.
01:16:02It's a modern day David versus Goliath.
01:16:04And as we said before, a very angry Goliath.
01:16:07I wouldn't want to be Rey Mysterio tomorrow night.
01:16:10Not at all.
01:16:13Kurt Angle, one of the two challengers in this Triple Threat Submission Match already in the ring.
01:16:19Who faced Maria earlier tonight.
01:16:22What a match.
01:16:27Now guys, I gotta tell you.
01:16:28I gotta ask you a question.
01:16:29Could this man, the masterpiece.
01:16:31Could he be the next WWE Champion in a matter of minutes?
01:16:35I tell you what, what a great young champion he would become.
01:16:39Well.
01:16:40I'm trying not to talk too loud.
01:16:41This is without a doubt the biggest match in this young man's young career.
01:16:46How about him standing up to Kurt Angle.
01:16:51Making sure that Daivari wasn't gonna be the special referee here tonight.
01:16:54What about being so smart to go to Mr. McMahon?
01:16:57But do you know who's, this is the biggest match of their career tonight?
01:17:01Eric Bischoff.
01:17:03That's who?
01:17:04I hate to say that I agree with you, but I agree with you.
01:17:08This is the goal that Eric Bischoff has set.
01:17:11To make sure that when Raw is over tonight, John Cena is no longer the champion.
01:17:15And here's seeing the second challenger from Los Angeles, California.
01:17:20Weighing in at 275 pounds, The Masterpiece, Chris Masters.
01:17:30What an opportunity for The Masterpiece's first championship opportunity.
01:17:35Yeah, but what about earlier tonight?
01:17:36This is what we had to witness.
01:17:38Kurt Angles calling Maria in for a hug is what she thought.
01:17:42Did the fire rings the bell, and an angle slam on a helpless Maria.
01:17:47Stomach turning is what it was.
01:17:48John Cena, the WWE Champion, in the ring, for the rescue of Maria,
01:17:53takes down Kurt Angle.
01:17:55Yes, to the rescue, but also to his detriment,
01:17:58because this gave Eric Bischoff an idea as The Masterpiece came in.
01:18:02And you'll see it right here, sunk in The Masterlock, which nobody has ever broken, by the way.
01:18:07And then Eric Bischoff, in his infinite wisdom, decided to make this main event tonight.
01:18:12Just 24 hours after Survivor Series.
01:18:16Yeah, and after that damage had been done to John Cena by both The Masterpiece and Kurt Angle.
01:18:21Wow, no count outs, no complications.
01:18:25Get set for this building to come unglued when the WWE Champion makes his entrance.
01:18:31All right!
01:18:39Long my words, this is the last time we'll see this man as champion.
01:18:48248 pounds, he is the WWE Champion, John Cena.
01:18:54Cena doesn't look happy because he knows what's coming.
01:18:57Look at this, yeah, Cena's coming, the champ is here.
01:19:00John Cena looking more serious than we have ever seen him, more aggressive than ever,
01:19:05going right after The Masterpiece, Chris Masters.
01:19:09And quite frankly, not only is the WWE Championship in jeopardy.
01:19:13Wait a minute.
01:19:14Hey, guys.
01:19:14This is supposed to be a triple threat match, not two on three, or two on one.
01:19:18Pretty much two on one, but even if it wasn't.
01:19:20I mean, John Cena in this match, it's like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
01:19:25John Cena has no submission move.
01:19:27There is no way for John Cena to be victorious.
01:19:30That's the beautiful thing about this.
01:19:32There is no way that Eric Bischoff can't achieve his goal.
01:19:36And he has to achieve his goal to keep his job as general manager of Raw.
01:19:41Does Eric Bischoff?
01:19:42One of two things is gonna happen.
01:19:44Either John Cena is going to be dethroned, or Eric Bischoff is out of here.
01:19:48Yeah, my boss Eric Bischoff is a genius.
01:19:51And he proves it once again tonight, and Eric Bischoff is going nowhere.
01:19:56Insurmountable situation facing the WWE Champion.
01:20:01Hey!
01:20:02And there's the double cross by Kurt Angle, the veteran sucking in the young,
01:20:07I believe 22-year-old Chris Masters, who's in his first championship matchup.
01:20:13And now Kurt Angle and John Cena exchanging blows.
01:20:16The masterpiece is gonna realize very quickly, this is all about being by yourself,
01:20:20when it's about the WWE Championship.
01:20:22Elbow on the masterpiece.
01:20:25And now John Cena, he's got him up for the FU, Cena's got Kurt Angle up for the FU.
01:20:29But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Styles.
01:20:32Hold on, the Angle Lock.
01:20:33This matters, this matters.
01:20:34The Angle Lock, the Angle Lock is locked in on the WWE Champion.
01:20:38Early on, Kurt Angle, the challenger sinks in the Angle Lock.
01:20:42Baby, this one's just about over.
01:20:44John Cena fighting his way to the ropes.
01:20:46The masterpiece, the masterpiece.
01:20:48He's got the master lock on Kurt Angle.
01:20:50If Kurt Angle submits, then John Cena loses the championship.
01:20:55And nobody has ever broken the master lock, but Kurt Angle is giving it his best.
01:21:01Kurt Angle trying to fight the master lock, but does he have the strength?
01:21:05Does he have the upper body strength to break the master lock?
01:21:08I'll tell you one thing, John Cena better get in there somehow.
01:21:11Because he can kiss his title goodbye.
01:21:13Look at Angle.
01:21:15Well, I'll tell you what, at this point, Eric Bischoff doesn't care if it's
01:21:18Chris Masters or Kurt Angle, just as long as John Cena does not leave here, the WWE Champion.
01:21:23Well, you're right, that will accomplish the gold that Eric Bischoff.
01:21:26Wait a minute, Kurt Angle, look at Kurt Angle.
01:21:28Kurt Angle may be going out.
01:21:29He may be going out.
01:21:30What a huge win, what a huge night here in Cleveland for the masterpiece to reach the top of the match.
01:21:38I think Kurt Angle knows that.
01:21:39No, no, no, Kurt Angle still fighting the master lock.
01:21:42Kurt Angle fighting with everything he's got.
01:21:45This may be the longest someone has survived and stayed conscious in that master lock.
01:21:51Hey, I believe you are absolutely correct, Kurt Angle still not submitting.
01:21:56Well, Kurt Angle is nodding, no, no.
01:21:58In comes John Cena to save the WWE Championship because if Kurt Angle had submitted,
01:22:05John Cena loses the title.
01:22:06Yeah, make no mistake about it, John Cena was not trying to save Kurt Angle.
01:22:10He's trying to save, you're right, his own title.
01:22:13And now the masterpiece stitching up the WWE Champion.
01:22:16John Cena has him up for the vertical suplex and takes him over.
01:22:19And the masterpiece doesn't care whether he beats Kurt Angle,
01:22:22doesn't care whether he beats John Cena.
01:22:24The masterpiece just wants to shock the world.
01:22:26He's setting up for that good master lock on Cena again.
01:22:31He's already implanted for the champ once tonight.
01:22:34He's waiting on his prey.
01:22:36Here it is.
01:22:37There it is, the master lock now on the WWE Champion,
01:22:40Chris Masters in his first WWE Championship matchup.
01:22:45Looking to win the title with the master lock.
01:22:47The masterpiece, so big, so strong, pushing down on the head of John Cena,
01:22:52the WWE Champion.
01:22:53And you can see Cena is fading, fading, fading.
01:22:59Fading, fading, fading.
01:23:00Look at the color, his face is changing color.
01:23:01He's almost gone.
01:23:02We may be moments away from crowning a new WWE Champion.
01:23:05And you can see Cena is fading, fading, fading.
01:23:08Look at the color, his face is changing color.
01:23:10He's almost gone.
01:23:11We may be moments away from crowning a new WWE Champion.
01:23:14And the masterpiece, Chris Masters.
01:23:17And it takes a lot of strength to keep this space.
01:23:21Look at that.
01:23:22In comes Kurt Angle, hammering the masterpiece on the back of the neck.
01:23:26And now Kurt Angle unloading with Haymaker.
01:23:29You sonny.
01:23:30Wow.
01:23:31Look at Angle.
01:23:32Angle is a machine unloading with right hand after right hand on the masterpiece.
01:23:35Then Kurt Angle hits the turnbuckle.
01:23:37And Kurt Angle with Haymaker.
01:23:42You sonny.
01:23:43Wow.
01:23:44Look at Angle.
01:23:47Angle is a machine, unloading with right hand after right hand on the masterpiece.
01:23:51Reversal out of the corner.
01:23:52Kurt Angle hits the turnbuckle again.
01:23:54No no no no no no!
01:23:58Great escape, great escape into the Angle Lock.
01:24:00Wait a minute.
01:24:01Chris Masters may tap out.
01:24:05Kurt Angle looking to make the masterpiece tap out with the Angle Locks.
01:24:08Well, it looked like for so many minutes that it was gonna be the masterpiece of
01:24:12the new WWE Champion, but Kurt Angle has just seen it now.
01:24:16The WWE Champion, double X handle on Kurt Angle to break up the Angle Locks.
01:24:23That's the clothesline, hits the shoulder block, runs right through Angle.
01:24:27There's the clothesline.
01:24:30The WWE Champion taking the fight to Kurt Angle, belly to maxed it out powerball.
01:24:36But what can he do to make somebody submit?
01:24:38Yeah, all this is well and good, but to win the match,
01:24:41you have to make your opponent submit.
01:24:45You can't see me.
01:24:47Well, you can't see a submission either, but you can see the masterpiece.
01:24:51And John Cena did not see the masterpiece is the problem.
01:24:55The masterpiece waiting on the WWE Champion from behind hits that clothesline.
01:24:59And with an arm that big, it's gotta be getting like smacked with a two by four.
01:25:03I'm gonna tell you something, Eric Bischoff,
01:25:05his stomach probably needs a manicure right now.
01:25:07He's probably bitten every nail that he has off.
01:25:09He's gotta be a nervous wreck.
01:25:12Triple Threat Submission Match WWE Championship on the line.
01:25:18Kurt Angle in the masterpiece challenging John Cena.
01:25:20What's Kurt Angle doing?
01:25:22You never know, disqualification is the count out.
01:25:24No disqualification.
01:25:26I love it.
01:25:28John Cena gets the boot up, drives the steel chair way to the face of Kurt Angle,
01:25:32who is charging with that steel chair.
01:25:34Look out.
01:25:35Wow.
01:25:36There's a shot to the leg of the masterpiece.
01:25:41And again smashing the knee of the masterpiece Chris Masters John Cena out with the STF.
01:25:56That's an STF, John Cena just locked in and STF, Chris Masters can't believe it.
01:26:00He tapped, he tapped, he tapped, Chris Masters tapped out to the STF.
01:26:07What?
01:26:08Can tap out or be choked out, he's gone.
01:26:11Here is your winner, and still the WWE Champion, John Cena.
01:26:19What about it, coach?
01:26:20When did John Cena learn the STF?
01:26:25It don't matter when, it just matters that he did, and he's still the champ.
01:26:30How does that mean for Eric Bishaw?
01:26:32Oh man, what?
01:26:35What do you think?
01:26:36Well, I think next week, time to take out the trash.
01:26:44Take out the trash?
01:26:46Yeah.
01:26:48Take out the trash.
01:26:49You heard it, Vince McMahon just told us such things.
01:26:52Next week, it's time to take out the trash.
01:26:54See, he didn't mean Eric Bishaw.
01:26:57Oh, you don't think so, huh?
01:26:58Not your money.
01:26:59Not your money.
01:27:00Hey.
01:27:02Well, let's face it, Eric Bishaw failed tonight to accomplish the goal that he set.
01:27:08John Cena is still the champ, and much to the chagrin of Kurt Angle and the masterpiece.
01:27:14And Vince McMahon himself just said that next week, we're gonna see the trash taken out.
01:27:20Hey, that could have meant anything.
01:27:22Yeah, right?
01:27:23That could have meant anything.
01:27:24Yeah, a lot of trash around here other than Eric Bishaw.
01:27:26All right, check this out one more time.
01:27:28Kurt Angle with the steel chair charges.
01:27:31John Cena gets the boot up.
01:27:33Angle takes the steel chair to the face, goes all the way to the floor.
01:27:37And then the WWE Champion viciously going after the knee of the masterpiece.
01:27:43Chris Masters with a look of blind, with a look of rage.
01:27:47We have never, white hot rage.
01:27:48And again smashing that knee.
01:27:52And then John Cena, we didn't know he even learned his hope.
01:27:55The STF applied on the masterpiece, who looks absolutely shocked.
01:28:00And it's forced to tap out.
01:28:02I think everybody was shocked that John Cena actually knew a submission hold.
01:28:08Oh, I can't wait for next week, guys.
01:28:10You heard it from the mouth of the man himself.
01:28:13Vince McMahon says that next week, it's time to take out the trash.
01:28:18John Cena retains.
01:28:19Good night, everybody.
01:28:21Take out the trash next week.
01:28:23I can't wait.
