00:00Not against Chris Benoit, or will it be the Rabid Wolverine who will return to Toronto as a champion?
00:06I'll tell you this, this is a physically intense rivalry that blew the roof off
00:12Wrestle Mania 20.
00:19Yes!
00:21The legendary time!
00:23No!
00:24Countered!
00:25Countered!
00:26The cross base!
00:27The title's on the line!
00:29Oh no!
00:31It's over!
00:32It's over!
00:33No!
00:34And Benoit has done it!
00:36Chris Benoit is for real, and I am the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:45Let me explain something to Chris Benoit.
00:49Now Benoit, the target is on your chest!
00:54Everybody is gunning for you!
00:57Has any world champion ever had a bigger mountain of climb?
01:04The best technical wrestler in the world today!
01:08A man with a fearless mindset!
01:11Chris Benoit is for real!
01:14That number one contender spot?
01:19It's yours!
01:20Under one condition?
01:21You beat the holy hell out of my nephew!
01:27Eugene, I am your friend!
01:30Triple A's is my favorite wrestler!
01:32If Triple A's wants a shot at the title, I'll give him a shot!
01:36It doesn't matter!
01:37You beat Eugene out of this!
01:38Eugene, I understand it got a little bit heated last week between you and I, but I was just trying to teach you a lesson!
01:45See Eugene, this is the WWE!
01:47This is the big time!
01:49And there are a lot of guys in the back that are mean!
01:52They're not like me!
01:53Wait a minute!
01:54Look out!
01:55Look out!
01:56Chris Benoit!
01:57Benoit!
01:58Coming to Eugene's aim!
01:59Look out!
02:00Benoit's cleaning house here!
02:02Aiming for the...
02:03Oh!
02:04Oh my God!
02:05No!
02:06Oh no!
02:07Oh no!
02:08Eugene, the truth is, Chris Benoit wants to hurt you!
02:11He told me he was sorry!
02:14Chris Benoit is a liar!
02:17But you know what?
02:18You don't need Chris Benoit anymore!
02:20You know why?
02:21I wanna make you an honorary member of Evolution!
02:31You're gonna bring Eugene into Evolution?
02:33My God!
02:34It'll kill our gimmick, brother!
02:35Eugene's gonna help us win back the World Heavyweight Championship!
02:39That plan starts tonight!
02:40Triple 8 should be ashamed of how he has manipulated for Eugene!
02:52Oh boy!
02:53Triple 8's down!
02:54And Triple 8's got a steel chair!
02:55This is picking up here!
02:56Oh!
02:57And now Benoit's got that chair!
02:58And Eugene!
03:10Eugene's got a heart of gold!
03:11But the damn Triple 8's from behind!
03:12Loading up Benoit!
03:13But his counter!
03:14There's a surface here!
03:15His back is gonna be broken, Eugene!
03:16Eugene!
03:17Eugene!
03:18I am your friend!
03:19Triple 8's is my favorite wrestler!
03:20I'm the biggest friend you've got!
03:21Triple 8's ain't doing it, Eugene!
03:22Yes!
03:23Yes!
03:24Eugene didn't wanna do it!
03:25Bless his heart!
03:26But he did the right thing!
03:27He didn't do the damn right thing!
03:28For the best friend!
03:29Triple 8 has manipulated Eugene into a victory here tonight!
03:33Will the same thing happen at Vengeance?
03:34Or Benoit stays numbered!
03:35Eugene's gonna help us win back the World Heavyweight Champion!
03:36I am your friend!
03:37Triple 8's is my favorite wrestler!
03:38I'm the biggest friend you've got!
03:39Triple 8's ain't doing it, Eugene!
03:40Let's do it!
03:41Let's do it!
03:42Let's do it!
03:43Yes!
03:44Eugene didn't wanna do it!
03:45Bless his heart!
03:46But he did the right thing!
03:47He didn't do the damn right thing!
03:48We're the best friend!
03:49Triple 8 has manipulated Eugene into a victory here tonight!
03:54Will the same thing happen at Vengeance?
03:58Or Benoit stays numbered!
03:59Eugene's gonna help us win back the World Heavyweight Championship.
04:03And when that's done, Eugene will have outlived his usefulness.
04:29And he's pitching a.
04:30Every hair together!
04:31Ooh, no!
04:35It's all about the game!
04:37And are you playing?
04:38I'm all about control!
04:40But is he then taking?
04:41All about your dad and get him play it?
04:44It's all about me!
04:45Who's gonna win none?
04:46The following contest is you can offer O-1 ball,
04:49and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!
04:52Introducing the challenger, from Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing in at 251 pounds, Triple H.
05:03No robe, no ring jacket, but more importantly, no World Heavyweight title belt yet for Triple H.
05:11Well, you're right.
05:12But he'll leave with one because this is the moment that Triple H has been waiting for
05:17since WrestleMania 20.
05:19He's lived for this moment and it's finally arrived.
05:23His opportunity to be the world champion again and he will take it.
05:28For the first time one-on-one on pay-per-view.
05:33And this building has been built for the game.
05:36And the last pay-per-view from Hartford, Triple H defeated Cactus Jack in a Hell in a Cell match.
05:42And retired Cactus Jack.
05:48Is that in the month of July?
05:51I don't know that.
05:53Cerebral Assassin and eight times Cactus.
05:59Certainly an honor roll student of the game.
06:02Has studied a master like Mez and Freddie Rogers, Harley Race, Jack Briscoe, and certainly Ric Flair.
06:09Benoit is the best technical wrestler in the world.
06:19And he's number one.
06:21The game has got to be 4A.
06:23He's gonna be the same, he's gonna change the name, he's gonna die and play.
06:37And now he's out of Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 220 pounds.
06:42He is the World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Benoit.
06:48Benoit, the 18-year veteran, debuted in the WWE in the year 2000.
06:54Has had an amazing and astonishing 2004.
06:58Beginning with winning the Royal Rumble in January.
07:02Learning the right to meet the champions at WrestleMania.
07:06Benoit in a triple threat match with Shawn Michaels and Triple H became the world's heavyweight champion.
07:12March 14th of this year in Madison Square Garden.
07:21Benoit showing no intimidation.
07:24He left Edmonton with $20 in his pocket.
07:26He got on a bus.
07:28He slowed down to Calgary and trained in the Legend of the Two Hearts dungeon for six months.
07:34He's not gonna be intimidated now.
07:37I know Benoit's for real.
07:50I'll give him credit.
07:52But tonight, tonight is the night for the game.
07:56Mike Yoder, the referee, assigned this huge main event.
08:02He's already having to admonish Chris Benoit.
08:06What's Benoit want to do?
08:07What's he trying to do?
08:08He want to hit Triple H with that championship belt?
08:10No, he's trying to rub it in his face.
08:13That's a big mistake, Benoit.
08:15Benoit brings a mind game to the cerebral assassin.
08:20Or at least addicting to.
08:23Benoit, that blue collar work ethic, a great determination.
08:29Would you agree maybe that that might be a mistake?
08:32Might be.
08:33Trying to play mind game with the master?
08:35Might be.
08:36With the game?
08:37It might be.
08:38You might be right there.
08:39And it's all about becoming the world's heavyweight champion.
08:42I mentioned this earlier.
08:43I don't know if I've ever been around a wrestler in my career that the world title,
08:48having the world title means more to you than the game.
08:52And I'm not saying that's a bad thing.
08:56No matter what you do for a living, you can always try to be the best in your profession.
09:01And sometimes the game has taken his obsession with his title.
09:06Oh, there it goes.
09:07A little close to the edge.
09:08You finally said it.
09:09You finally said it.
09:10You mean Triple H is obsessed.
09:12With becoming the world's heavyweight champion.
09:14I do stand behind that statement.
09:16He, Triple H needs to be the world's champion.
09:20In his own mind.
09:21In his own makeup.
09:22Triple H needs to be the world's heavyweight champion.
09:26His need will be fulfilled here tonight.
09:31Collar elbow tie up the game.
09:33Come on, let's go, come on.
09:34At 255, about 30 pounds bigger than Benoit.
09:38And the game using that power and strength to his advantage here.
09:43And a very stiff and aggressive Collar elbow tie up.
09:47And referee Mike Piotta getting between these two.
09:50Very tenacious.
09:52That's what Benoit prides himself on throughout his entire career.
09:56Almost all of his opponents have either outweighed him or been bigger than him.
10:00But somehow, I guess that's where that Wolverine connection comes into.
10:05Those Wolverines aren't very big, but they're so tenacious.
10:08They'll tear you apart.
10:09And that's what Chris Benoit has lived on over the years.
10:12It's gonna be interesting to see.
10:14Triple H has developed some counters for the cross face.
10:19Going the game, he probably has.
10:21Nice chain wrestling.
10:22And they're going behind into the hammerlock by Triple H, side headlock.
10:26Man, that was a nice move.
10:30I'll give him credit, he's for real.
10:31Lightning quick arm drag, great leverage.
10:34By Benoit.
10:36Again, a superbly sound technical wrestler.
10:40I know you mentioned earlier that Randy Orton lost, that huge loss of the Intercontinental title.
10:46Not just to Randy Orton, but to Evolution.
10:48That could have had some sort of a mental effect on the game.
10:52And certainly anti Triple H here tonight.
10:57Getting for the champion side headlock by Triple H counter quickly.
11:03Right back to the well and back in the counter.
11:07Third time.
11:09And you gotta, you gotta say look how fast Triple H is.
11:13You gotta try to stay unemotional in a very emotional situation if that's physically
11:28humanly possible.
11:29Get up.
11:31Get up and out.
11:32Up and out.
11:33Come on.
11:35Benoit, as we said, 18 year veteran taking his time here.
11:40You know, the game has gotta beat Benoit.
11:43Benoit does not have to beat the game in this World Heavyweight Championship match.
11:47And that's probably the best strategy.
11:49If I were Benoit, that's what you do.
11:51You don't get overly aggressive.
11:53You don't go out there and take chances.
11:55You let your opponent bring it to you.
11:57In this case, Triple H is gonna have to bring it to Benoit.
12:00Benoit cannot, I don't believe, be too focused on using the submission maneuvers
12:05to get a tap out victory, which he has over Triple H in a triple threat match.
12:10That happens at WrestleMania.
12:12Yeah.
12:17Benoit trying to make a liar out of you right off the bat, JR.
12:23And Benoit, right after Triple H.
12:26Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute now.
12:27What's this all about?
12:30Hard knife heads chopped by Benoit on another one.
12:32And Benoit turned the corner, and the game trying to gain some sort of advantage here.
12:41But to no avail.
12:43This is really not a sound place for the champion to be.
12:47And now Benoit getting the challenger back in the ring.
12:51And running high knee that was by the challenger, Triple H.
12:56Great impact there.
12:57Number one contender for the Heavyweight Championship of the World.
13:00With some simplistic, yet high impact, and effective offense.
13:07One facelot.
13:10The game.
13:12Taking a page right out of Benoit's book there.
13:15The game will use this bigger, stronger body as much as he can here on Benoit in situations just like this.
13:22You know, there's one point I'm not gonna say I disagree with you.
13:28But Benoit pound for pound, you said you're right.
13:31Triple H is bigger.
13:32And I don't know if the, you know, pound for pound, Benoit is as strong as anybody on WWE.
13:37That's unbelievable.
13:38Everybody's going downstairs after a couple of knife heads.
13:41You ever seen Benoit in the weight room?
13:45Benoit, he's a fanatic in the weight room.
13:47He's extremely strong.
13:49Not knocking his strength.
13:50There's a cover.
13:51And a near fall, the game.
13:53Impressive the moment here.
13:54There's those weights and barbells, they don't hit back.
13:57The game is gonna hit back here tonight.
13:59The place is pretty impressive in the weight room as well.
14:02And he will hit you back.
14:04A lot of passion.
14:07Hope these men have a lot of passion.
14:09Back record, the lower back now may become the focus of Triple H.
14:19Tell me about what you just said about Triple H in the weight room.
14:23Didn't wind the weight room.
14:24How would you know anything about weight room?
14:25When is the last time you were in the weight room, JR?
14:27I was here this morning, as a matter of fact.
14:29I didn't say waiting room.
14:30I said the weight room.
14:31I said the weight room.
14:32I was on the outside.
14:34That's nice.
14:35Nice positioning, again, using leverage and ring savvy by the challenger to take Benoit to the outside.
14:45Benoit from Triple H rather knows he can't win the title by a count out or disqualification.
14:53Benoit right into the edge of the ring.
14:59That is not a catted area.
15:01Those ring floors made of wood.
15:03And that wood extends out to the apron.
15:07Benoit is fighting back now.
15:10He's got to send a record of shots right through your body.
15:17Benoit flipped in.
15:22Both feet in the face of the game.
15:24You're gonna predict JR that this thing is gonna open up wide open here in a minute.
15:30Both these guys so far been wrestling fairly defensive.
15:34Benoit's case, you know, he is the champion.
15:36He doesn't have to win.
15:37He just got to avoid losing, right?
15:40Not losing pinfall or submission to Benoit now, beating the game back in that corner.
15:46And as much as it looks like Benoit has the advantage, the game is very dangerous,
15:51at least predictable.
15:53Reverse elbow proves that point.
15:55Well, I can assure you that the game has a game plan.
15:58Look out, look out.
16:00This is not part of it.
16:01This is not part of the game plan of Triple H.
16:04Belly to back suplex.
16:05Some call it a German suplex.
16:08The waist lock.
16:10Benoit likes to do these in threes.
16:12Triple H, the front cancerous.
16:16And then Double H picked up by Benoit.
16:19Uh-oh.
16:20And showing his technical ability.
16:22And man.
16:23We saw that early on Randy Orton.
16:25Triple H catapulted.
16:26And that post line over the top.
16:28And the challenger is in a big, big time amount of trouble.
16:33On the outside, thumb to the eye.
16:39I think Benoit's making a mistake going out on the outside.
16:42I agree 100%.
16:44And- No, look out.
16:46You can hear the impact of that, the collision of that.
16:51Triple H's shoulder rammed right into the steel steps.
16:55And you're talking about setting somebody up with a critical crossface.
16:58That certainly will do it if nothing else.
17:00Wait a minute.
17:01I thought Benoit was gonna try to ram Triple H in those steps again.
17:05Speaking of that, look, watch it, listen, look at him.
17:08And now Benoit going on the top.
17:13Triple H's shoulder ramming the ring steps.
17:15Benoit on top.
17:16With a toe.
17:17And nobody there.
17:18A high risk move.
17:20Benoit's ground attack was working.
17:22He went to the top for a high risk move.
17:24It did not pay off.
17:26And the advantage that Benoit gained on the outside seemingly has been lost on the inside.
17:33Well, I think Benoit, he highly miscalculated.
17:36I think he thought that he had Triple H in a lot worse shape than he had him.
17:41Triple H was able to move out of the way of that huge headbutt coming his way.
17:44And you're right, Benoit's hurting now.
17:47Can we see this again?
17:50Check this out, JR.
17:52Let's run this in slow-mo.
17:54Watch Benoit's head bounce.
17:56Watch his head.
17:57Right off the mat.
18:00Benoit crashing and burning, both men back up.
18:03And that may be the way Benoit originally lost that tooth of his.
18:07And Benoit, as the old expression goes, dancing with Luke Brumman.
18:11That was some high impact.
18:15Sternum first, did Benoit travel to the top turnbuckle?
18:19Suddenly and abruptly, did that journey end?
18:25Here it comes, right into your living room.
18:28Man, that'll take you right out of your laser door.
18:31And Benoit, referee checking on Benoit.
18:34Benoit may have crushed his sternum there.
18:36He may have really damaged that sternum his right, and Benoit trying to rub some feeling back into it.
18:41Referee could certainly a discretionary situation here.
18:44Tribulation would not lock it if the referee stopped the match.
18:47No, not at all.
18:48And because the Tribulation knows he's got to pin Benoit.
18:53Again.
18:54Man, I can submit to win the title.
18:57Benoit were able to continue.
18:59As I understand the rules, the match would be suspended, and Benoit would retain the title.
19:05Well, I'm gonna tell you one, here you're gonna see it again, right here.
19:09Better yet, listen.
19:10If Triple H could muster the strength to do that to Benoit once, maybe twice more,
19:18I think it could pin him.
19:19That'd be it.
19:20I gotta think that there's a pedigree in Benoit's future.
19:23Look at those shots that kick right to the sternum.
19:25Triple H is using a very innovative way to damage the pecs and the sternum.
19:31Look at that whiplash in the neck and shoulders.
19:35Driving the knee now right back into the sternum again.
19:37And the game, relentless.
19:40That's why he's called a cerebral assassin.
19:42When Triple H gets into his offensive mode, he will make very few mistakes.
19:47He's very calculated.
19:50He's in no hurry.
19:52You're right, he's calculating.
19:54He's thinking three or four moves ahead right now.
19:56What can do the most damage?
19:58What can be the most devastating to Chris Benoit?
20:03Vertical suplex coming up, is it?
20:06Man!
20:07Reverse suplex, again slamming Benoit down on his chest.
20:12See, you were expecting that sternum, the cover, here it is!
20:16You, the layman, JR, were expecting a reverse suplex.
20:21In that case, Benoit would have landed on his back.
20:25But the game, with infinite wisdom, does this.
20:28Tossus Benoit already lands on that already in your chest.
20:32Listen up!
20:34Triple H, again, a right hand in the face of Benoit, but that's not gonna be the focus right to the chest, right to the sternum.
20:43Triple H's not gonna raise any emotions here.
20:45There's not gonna be wrist locks, or head locks, or ankle locks.
20:49It's all gonna be on that torso.
20:51We don't know how damaged the sternum or that chest cavity of Chris Benoit might be right now.
20:57We saw Triple H using the flat of the foot into that chest, and that's all legal.
21:01He's gonna do it again?
21:02Yes!
21:04Yeah!
21:05That's innovative, JR.
21:07Benoit thrown by the gang, great strength.
21:10Another cover, body on body here, and it took a lot of energy and a lot of strength by Benoit to kick out,
21:17and the gang not getting rattled.
21:19Didn't ask for, was that a two, was it a three?
21:22Like you see so many guys wasting time doing.
21:25Who's rattled?
21:26Benoit.
21:27Benoit has gotta be realizing right now that he is in dire strength.
21:31Triple H separating that chest, right down that, right down the pectoral area.
21:37Knee posting the spine.
21:40And the gang with his great strength, and the leverage advantage,
21:45wrenching back on the arms.
21:47And while bleeding in my mouth, that may have been for that headbutt from the top that he missed.
21:56What was that you said earlier thing?
22:01Benoit was the, let's see, what did you call him?
22:04The greatest technical wrestler in the WWE today?
22:07Is that what you call him?
22:08Arguably the best.
22:09Arguably.
22:10Right, I'm glad you interjected the word arguably.
22:12I also said Triple H is one A.
22:14You don't listen to a damn thing, do you?
22:17I hear what I say.
22:19Benoit trying to turn up and turn in.
22:22I think you're gonna be able to drop that A, because Triple H is gonna be number one.
22:25He's gonna be number one tonight.
22:26Well, that's why we're having this match.
22:30And downstairs, Benoit going downstairs.
22:32And Triple H sidestepping Benoit.
22:34Come back, Chris.
22:35Benoit got a little overzealous there.
22:37Triple H able to sidestep, use Benoit's momentum to take Benoit over the top.
22:42And again, Triple H can't win the title by count out.
22:45You can expect either Triple H to get out and retrieve Benoit, which is exactly what he's doing.
22:51Are waiting to see if Benoit was gonna get back in the ring of his own power.
22:55Well, you call Randy Orton a thoroughbred.
22:58What are you calling Triple H now?
23:01Golden Retriever?
23:02Man.
23:03Just first behind that security wall.
23:06Well, maybe call Triple H champ again before this night is over.
23:10What's wrong with that?
23:11What's wrong with this great ring strategy here?
23:14You sidestep, use the man's momentum against him.
23:18You see the results.
23:19And what you do is you hope that when your opponent lands down there,
23:22he does something like maybe possibly hyperextended knee or break an ankle or
23:26something like that.
23:27Anything like that could happen when you're thrown unceremoniously out of the ring.
23:32Benoit has got great temerity, no doubt about it.
23:37But you wanna wonder at what stage of this match will Benoit's body start forsaking him.
23:44I said that's it, one more of those should do it.
23:49Hard shot, cover, and Benoit can't kick out.
23:52He's rolling his shoulder.
23:54That was the left one first, the right one second.
23:56But Benoit couldn't kick out.
23:58He rolled shoulders on both exchanges.
24:01Easy Triple H, don't get frustrated.
24:03Don't lose your cool, you're well in command.
24:06You're going good for you Triple H.
24:09Benoit lashing out with a chop.
24:13Not gonna beat Triple H on the chop, but he's certainly keeping the game at bay,
24:17at least for the moment.
24:19Benoit set for the ride.
24:20Triple H.
24:21Here we go.
24:22Shades of the late Wilbur Snyder with that abdominal stretch ripping out that sternum.
24:27And that's what this move is all about, punishing the torso.
24:31I can tell you from years and years in the ring, JR,
24:34that is one of the most painful holds that you can have applied.
24:38And especially if you've got an injured chest in any way.
24:42Benoit bleeding from the mouth, there's a gain.
24:45Why is this?
24:46I mean, the hands are locked.
24:48Wait, I think Benoit waving signifying that again.
24:51Maybe signifying that he wants to tap out?
24:53That he wants to give up?
24:54You know, I don't recall that I've ever seen Benoit happen.
24:58Not that he won't, not that he can't.
25:00Wouldn't that be a fitting way to gain this world championship again?
25:05Especially the game who has to hear you tapped out about everywhere he goes.
25:09Right.
25:10He's sick of that.
25:11Benoit, Benoit locking his hands.
25:13Benoit now trying to counter, trying to separate Triple H's hands and has done so.
25:17Test the strength and power here.
25:20And Benoit, Benoit trying to counter.
25:24Benoit trying to counter.
25:25And the game body.
25:26And now Benoit's got the abdominal stretch only for a moment until the game hip-locked his way out of the predicament.
25:35But it shows you the tenacity and the toughness of Chris Benoit did what he could to fight right back in the situation.
25:44Benoit's lip busted.
25:48May not be all that's busted before this match is over.
25:52J.R., even you gotta admit, thus far, yeah, there's a chopper too here by Benoit.
25:57But thus far, Triple H has outwrestled the world champion.
26:01We're down about that thus far, but it's gone over.
26:04Benoit trying to get the ropes, Triple H with that sleeper hole.
26:07Everybody doesn't have that sleeper locked in as good as it's not completely behind him.
26:11What do you say, Benoit?
26:12What do you say, huh?
26:13We may have it now.
26:15There you go.
26:16Triple H got cinched in.
26:17The sleeper hole is cinched in now.
26:20Benoit got it all cinched in.
26:23Triple H talking some trash to Benoit while he's punishing him as well.
26:27And Benoit's hands are hanging.
26:29Mike Yoda's gotta make a call here.
26:33Benoit can defend himself.
26:34And those hands are dropping.
26:36And Triple H is gonna walk out of here in the World Heavyweight title.
26:39Look at Benoit, there's still life left in that Wolverine.
26:43Benoit, Benoit, great courage, no doubt about it.
26:48And Benoit now, trying to clamp that sleeper on the game.
26:53Couldn't do it, couldn't place counters.
26:55Look for a suplex, Benoit lands on his feet.
26:58And Benoit now stepping over.
27:00Come on, look at the sharpshooter.
27:03Boy, that's the only way you can avoid that sharpshooter.
27:05You gotta get out of it early.
27:06You gotta avoid ever getting locked in.
27:08And that's what the game just did.
27:09And you know that from experience.
27:10Yes, I do.
27:11I hate that sharpshooter.
27:13Look at this.
27:14This is the anniversary time.
27:15Whoa.
27:16Benoit.
27:17No, he's going again.
27:18Benoit trying to, he took the legs.
27:21And now he's gonna turn, take the, take his title back with him.
27:24He's got it.
27:25He's got it.
27:26He's got it.
27:27Benoit put the sharps here on the game.
27:28Turn game, turn.
27:29Benoit trying to turn to the nearest way to the ropes.
27:33Get to the ropes.
27:34Find it.
27:36Find it.
27:37Is it bad?
27:38No.
27:39Benoit set back.
27:40Set back.
27:41Listen to this.
27:42He's got to be wrapped with pain here.
27:46How did it end like this?
27:47The real heavyweight title on the line.
27:49We said it means more to the game than perhaps any human alive.
27:53Look at the game.
27:54He finally clawing his way toward it.
27:56He got, he touched the rope ramp.
27:59Triple H just got a finger in the rope.
28:02That should be enough.
28:03Not enough to call for the break according to the referee's judgment.
28:06Look at Triple H's right hand.
28:08He about to tap.
28:09Look at the fight in the game.
28:11Triple H reaching down.
28:13Look at this.
28:14He got for the ropes.
28:15And now in the ropes.
28:16Hole broken, the damage done.
28:23Come on, game.
28:24Come on, game.
28:25Triple H fought and fought to survive the sharpshooter.
28:30But now we have to wonder how much damage has been done to the challenger via the sharpshooter.
28:38I'm wondering if that was not a total last ditch effort.
28:40Man.
28:41It appeared there that Mark shot to the back.
28:44Meanwhile that waistlock trying to flip her suplexes here.
28:47No!
28:50Into the suplex.
28:57Two German suplexes by the world's heavyweight champion.
29:00Let go of him you Wolverine.
29:02And the third suplex taking down the challenger.
29:07Benoit almost spit here.
29:10Benoit's chest has gotta be killing him.
29:14That sternum, it could be cracked.
29:16If that's the case, he's on borrowed time.
29:21And you know, that blood coming out of Benoit's mouth could be something wrong with his screen.
29:26It could be internal injuries.
29:28Wait a minute.
29:29Three suplexes for Benoit.
29:31Benoit senses it, JR.
29:33Benoit, I think, should have gone for cover there.
29:35And this may come back and haunt the world's heavyweight champion.
29:40Three suplexes, no cover, and yet another high-risk move.
29:44Look at the game, look at the game rolling out of the way.
29:46That's smart.
29:47That's very smart.
29:48Benoit's rolling out of bounds, if you will, to the outside.
29:51And Benoit, what's Benoit doing here?
29:54Benoit, look at this!
29:57He sacrificed his body.
29:59A suicide-like to pay by Benoit, head first,
30:04driving his head into the body of the challenger.
30:07Holy shit!
30:09Holy shit!
30:10Holy shit!
30:11Look at this!
30:12Look at this one more time.
30:13Head to head, and then Triple H's head bouncing off that retaining wall,
30:18and Benoit's entire body off the wall.
30:21And the irony of this move is the fact that Triple H took a blow.
30:25He can be, both men can be counted out.
30:27Look at this.
30:28Look at that slow motion.
30:29My gosh.
30:30And they were head to head, face to face.
30:33Triple H's neck is just distorted there.
30:36It's just, it's, he could have a neck injury out of that.
30:40He's got a count going here, about six or seven, I'm not sure.
30:43Benoit's up.
30:45Benoit can leave Triple H out there, roll back in, and win this thing by count out.
30:49But that's not the kind of champion that Benoit is.
30:51Well, that may cost him.
30:52It may cost him, you're right.
30:53And, no!
30:58Man, referee was checking on Benoit.
31:01That was unintentional.
31:03Unintentional, you know it was.
31:06I'm not so sure it was, but Triple H never can tell.
31:11Wait a minute.
31:13Downstairs.
31:14DDT.
31:15There's a DDT.
31:16You're right.
31:17Benoit looking for the cross face, got DDT'd for his trouble.
31:20But there's no referee now.
31:21The referee's on the outside of the ring.
31:23Referee Macchiota.
31:24Eugene!
31:25What?
31:26What?
31:27He's calling for Eugene.
31:32Yeah, I'm thinking that that blow to the referee was not an accident.
31:36It was an accident.
31:37Look.
31:41I'm not so sure this is not a setup.
31:44Referee being disposed of somewhat conveniently.
31:48And now Eugene has been sent to the ring by his best friend.
31:53Of course.
31:54We've known for an entire week now that Triple H had some sort of use in mind for Eugene.
31:59We wanted Eugene to be a part of winning this World Heavyweight Championship back.
32:03But how?
32:04What?
32:05What's he gonna do?
32:06I'll tell you what, many a destructive tune is being plagued by the evolution fiddle here
32:10of poor Eugene.
32:12What does Triple H try to signal?
32:14I have no idea.
32:15I don't think Eugene does either.
32:16No, he has a cross face.
32:17Benoit's on the cross face of the game.
32:19This is bad.
32:20Benoit's on the cross face of the game.
32:22He's gotta be hurting.
32:24Eugene in ringside.
32:27Referee on the outside.
32:30Triple H is yelling at Eugene.
32:33Get the ref.
32:35Get the ref.
32:37I think he's yelling get the ref.
32:40Benoit's yelling get the ref.
32:42Get the ref.
32:44If Eugene gets the ref, that could come Triple H's the match.
32:48Don't get the ref, Eugene.
32:50Eugene in between the old rock and a hard spot.
32:54Triple H trying to carry out the cross face with a no bail.
32:57Wait, wait.
32:58Triple H is tapping out.
32:59There's no ref.
33:00There's no ref.
33:01Triple H is tapping out and don't get the ref.
33:03Eugene, don't.
33:04Eugene is, he's being sucked right into this thing.
33:07Come on, Eugene, do the right thing.
33:09Do the right thing, Eugene.
33:11What?
33:12Good wrong.
33:13Eugene has come to the ring.
33:16Ben Rock cannot take any chances.
33:20And for the World Heavyweight title, what else is a champion gonna do?
33:25I'm not condoning that behavior, but-
33:28What about Eugene?
33:29You gotta put yourself in Ben Rock's shoes.
33:31But Benoit didn't have to stop.
33:32What a low blow.
33:33Whoa.
33:34Out of nowhere.
33:35My God, what a low blow.
33:37Eugene, get the referee.
33:39Now get the referee.
33:40Come on.
33:42The low blow and the pedigree.
33:45And this one is over.
33:47Well, that's what you get Benoit.
33:50Get the ref.
33:51Get the ref.
33:52Get the ref, yes.
33:53Get the ref now.
33:54Triple H is ordering.
33:55Eugene to get the referee.
33:57It's not over.
33:58He just merely asked him.
33:59There you go.
34:04Benoit and pedigree.
34:05Eugene showing the referee back in the ring.
34:08This is just not right.
34:09This is not the way you win the world title.
34:13All is right with the world.
34:14Triple H is once again the champion.
34:17He's knocked.
34:19Benoit, my God, Benoit kicked out.
34:22How did he do it?
34:23Eugene, what are you gonna do now?
34:27That may have been the last gasp for Benoit.
34:31Benoit's sternum, his chest has been damaged.
34:36Triple H looking a little worse for the wearers themselves.
34:40Triple H is directing Eugene to do what I have no idea.
34:45I heard him say get a chair, yes.
34:49That's what Eugene's doing.
34:51Eugene's like a little lamb.
34:53He's at least following orders.
34:55Eugene, this is, he's being played.
35:00Don't give it to him, Eugene.
35:02Don't do it.
35:03There you go.
35:04Referee face down.
35:06Eugene handing Triple H a weapon after the low blow in the pedigree.
35:11Wait a minute.
35:12Eugene.
35:13What are you doing, Eugene?
35:15Eugene's trying to unarm Triple H.
35:18He doesn't want Triple H.
35:19Using the chair of the game, knocking Eugene off the apron.
35:23That one's not right.
35:28What does Eugene try?
35:29No!
35:30Benoit on the chair of the winner on the game's face.
35:33See, this is what happens when Eugene tries to think on his own.
35:39Eugene did the right thing, and he didn't, nobody deserved to be talked like Triple H just talked to Eugene.
35:44Now Benoit's got that steel chair.
35:46No.
35:47Triple H.
35:48Referee.
35:49Trying to negotiate as well.
35:50Somebody.
35:51Somebody do something.
35:52Look at this.
35:53Look at this.
35:54Wait a damn minute.
35:55It's nice.
35:56No!
35:57There goes Batista.
35:58No!
35:59There goes Batista.
36:01Two of the three members of that evolution, Eugene in the ring.
36:06Come out of here.
36:07Eugene is saying don't use the chair.
36:09Eugene looking at Triple H and she's the chair and he doesn't want to watch.
36:12Benoit trying to get Eugene out of the ring and Triple H taking advantage as Benoit was trying to reason with Eugene.
36:19And the referee is still down.
36:22The steel chair and the low blow by Benoit.
36:27What?
36:28He can't do that to the game.
36:29Benoit countered the game's low blow with one of his own.
36:33Eugene, are you gonna allow that?
36:35You see the cheater?
36:36Hit him with the chair.
36:38He did that to your friend, Eugene.
36:41Eugene's gonna do that.
36:44Your friend Triple H has been paid.
36:46Thanks to Benoit.
36:48Yes!
36:49Smash him!
36:50Don't do it, Eugene!
36:51Smash him!
36:52Don't do it, Paul, you're hooked!
36:54What?
36:55Wait a minute.
36:56What is he thinking?
36:58No, Eugene, don't you think?
37:00Eugene can't do it.
37:01No, don't do it, Eugene.
37:02Yes, yes, yes, yes!
37:03He's just putting the chair down!
37:04Eugene, put the chair down!
37:05Eugene, put the chair down!
37:07That's the kind of man Eugene is.
37:08He can't hit anybody with it.
37:09And now Benoit, look at Benoit.
37:10He'll use it.
37:11He'll hit triplets with it if he can get his hands on it.
37:12We have a war here in that steel chair.
37:13Eugene rock tear out of Benoit's hands.
37:14What?
37:15And right in the face of the game!
37:16What have you done?
37:17What have you done?
37:18What have you done?
37:19What have you done?
37:20What have you done?
37:21What have you done?
37:22What have you done?
37:23The total war resulted in a gang getting hit in the face with a steel chair.
37:26And now Benoit, look at Benoit, he'll use it.
37:27He'll hit triplets with it if he can get his hands on it.
37:30The war here in that steel chair.
37:33Eugene rock tear out of Benoit's hands.
37:38What?
37:39And right in the face of the game!
37:41What have you done, Eugene?
37:42You moron, what have you done?
37:44The total war resulted in a gang getting hit in the face with a steel chair.
37:52Yes!
37:53Look what you've done.
37:54Yes, he's gonna be mad at you.
37:57I cannot believe this.
38:02Can Triple H expand this tear shot right between the eyes?
38:07After this war he's been in with a rabid Wolverine.
38:10Both men are having trouble getting to their feet.
38:13The world title is on the line.
38:15Benoit on the roll up, the count.
38:18No!
38:19The three!
38:20The chair shot did it!
38:23No!
38:24Here is your winner, and still the world heavyweight champion, Chris Benoit!
38:32Look what you've done, Eugene!
38:34Benoit, two-lovers, safe top.
38:37He gutted it out with that injured sternum.
38:40It might not have been the prettiest world title match we've ever seen.
38:45The Benoit's leaving as a world heavyweight champion.
38:48Look at the look on the face of Eugene.
38:54Eugene, I wonder if he fully comprehends what he's done, what his actions have cost Triple H.
39:01As you said to Ben, the world championship needs more than life itself to Triple H.
39:06Eugene!
39:07Triple H finally got the one-on-one opportunity to meet Benoit for the world title here at Vengeance.
39:13But it has backfired.
39:15Triple H manipulated and played for Eugene like a fifth.
39:20But it backfired on Triple H.
39:23Benoit standing tall as the world's heavyweight champion.
39:30What a gut check for both men.
39:34And look at Eugene with his head.
39:36Hang your head in shame, Eugene!
39:38You've taught that man the game the world championship.
39:45And while leaving Vengeance, the world's heavyweight champion.
39:50Triple H leaving Vengeance, empty handed with a knot on his head.
39:55Thanks to Eugene.
39:57This is a black day in the history of evolution.
40:00They're now titleless, they are.
40:02No championships in all of evolution.
40:05The game cannot believe it.
40:09He thought he had everything set up.
40:12He thought he had Eugene in place.
40:14The plan in place.
40:16The strategy in place.
40:18There he is.
40:21There he is, Triple H.
40:23He's saying I'm sorry.
40:25That's the man that cost you the world championship.
40:28My God.
40:33Triple H is looking a hole right through Eugene.
40:38Don't feel sorry for it, Triple H.
40:40Don't have any sympathy whatsoever on that.
40:43Oh!
