00:00We are the Bradley Center here in Milwaukee and Taboo Tuesday has been extremely unpredictable, more than I ever dream king.
00:08Oh, you got that right.
00:10Well, I'll tell you what, has this been a wild night or what?
00:13We have got a new Intercontinental Champion that's been crowned. Are you all right?
00:17Oh, that lingerie pillow fight there, that almost got me.
00:21Did it really? Yeah.
00:23I think I'm experiencing personal growth.
00:25Oh, there you go. You need that. Ladies and gentlemen, already been a wild ride here tonight.
00:29We've got a new Intercontinental Champion crown.
00:31We have yet to get an update on Kane's condition after he was savagely beaten by Stitsky.
00:37I've never seen Kane in that kind of predicament ever.
00:40Chris Stratus retained her title.
00:42Exactly.
00:43The only title that hadn't changed hands so far here tonight.
00:45And I wonder if Eric Bischoff has got his head shaven bald.
00:49Oh, I don't know.
00:50I hope we're going to get an opportunity to see the finished product there.
00:54Well, if we don't, we certainly will.
00:55And we still see Coach over there in a dress.
00:58Next edition of Raw.
00:59Thanks to Mr. McMahon.
01:00The fans votes were heard.
01:01They were counted in time.
01:02Well, this is, uh, indeed time to play the game.
01:11The following content is for one fall.
01:12And it is for the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:13Introducing first from Greenwich, Connecticut.
01:14Weighing in at 265 pounds.
01:15He is the World Heavyweight Champion.
01:16Triple H.
01:17Triple H.
01:18Triple H.
01:19made it very clear when he was doing commentary with us last night.
01:20On Raw down at 265 pounds.
01:21He is the World Heavyweight Champion.
01:22Triple H.
01:24Triple H.
01:25He made it very clear when he was doing commentary with us last night.
01:27On Raw down in Chicago.
01:28That he really believes.
01:29We heard him reaffirming earlier.
01:30That he doesn't believe Shawn Michaels is truly injured.
01:31I believe him.
01:32I don't believe I believe Shawn Michaels is injured.
01:33But the big thing is, JR.
01:35We've seen two titles change hands already without being attacked and
01:37H ģ“ź±° has just been amazing.
01:38Review the game, phone number 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 5, 6, 7, 7.
01:44The Warrior is not just a conversation from John
01:53Worker.
01:54emi is like that one pounder.
01:57But the big thing is, JR, we've seen two titles change hands already tonight at Taboo Juicy.
02:03Will we see a third?
02:05That's the question.
02:06Shawn Michaels on more than one occasion.
02:09As a matter of fact, Price has proven that he's man enough to beat Triple H for
02:13the world's heavyweight title.
02:16The question is, can Shawn Michaels do it on one good leg?
02:20Oh, come on, JR.
02:22The only way I believe he didn't have two good legs is to come riding out here
02:26in one of those little hover rounds, what do you call those little things that the old
02:29purple people ride around in when they go to the grocery store?
02:33All I know is Shawn Michaels' heart is bigger than any man on the rosters in my estimation.
02:38And that's why he's going to come out here and give us everything he can.
02:42Michaels will never disappoint us.
02:44He's not going to disappoint us tonight.
02:46I don't know if Tim Blake's trying to convince himself or the audience of Shawn Michaels' injuries.
02:52Injured or not, Shawn Michaels' heart cannot be measured.
02:55Well, they call Shawn Michaels the heartbreak kid.
02:59Well, his heart certainly could be broken here tonight if he isn't back hurt,
03:02because that man right there will finish the job.
03:05Shawn Michaels is as hurt as he says he is.
03:07This may be his last match, because the game could triple Michaels perfectly.
03:12And if Michaels does not injure him, then maybe the tribulation will not focus on Michaels' leg.
03:17We'll see how the match.
03:19I think I'm key.
03:22I know I'm sexy.
03:23Shawn Michaels making his way to the ring.
03:27The heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels.
03:31Over-conditioned Michaels knees in.
03:34He will give everything he has here tonight to the fans here in Milwaukee, to you,
03:39wherever you're watching, around the world.
03:42Oh, come on, Blake, look at this.
03:44He's a little over-acting, don't you think?
03:46No, I don't.
03:48I don't think he's acting at all, Keith.
03:50Oh, come on.
03:54Shawn Michaels is one of the most courageous, one of the most gallant men
03:58in the history of the WWE.
04:01Well, he better call 9-1-1-doller for you, right?
04:06Well, Shawn Michaels, you can tell the look of anguish on his face,
04:16just getting up, just getting up.
04:19And you've got to wonder how he's going to survive this
04:22for Triple H.
04:25But I said the same thing about Chris Benoit.
04:27Could Benoit survive by himself against the world?
04:30Well, Shawn Michaels said that he had the connection with the man upstairs.
04:35I realized Shawn's a very religious man.
04:37Well, he's going to need all the divine help he can get his hands on tonight.
04:41If Shawn's leg was really that bad, he would try to not look hurt.
04:47He would not have let Triple H know that his leg was that bad.
04:51Because that's going to put the big bullseye on his knee.
04:56One more time, yeah, right?
04:58I think Shawn Michaels lies with him to stay in practice.
05:01Well, I think you're wrong.
05:03I think you're dead wrong.
05:05Well, we'll see.
05:06That's why we're having the match, I would assume.
05:09Let's see if Triple H practice what he preaches here.
05:13If Michaels is not hurt, then Triple H shouldn't worry about that left leg, right?
05:17He shouldn't focus on it offensively.
05:19He shouldn't single it out.
05:21So we'll find out.
05:23Of course he's going to have to single it out.
05:25Well, if it's not hurt, why would he single it out?
05:27Well, there's the possibility that it is hurt.
05:29And if it is hurt, if it is hurt, if it is damaged in the least, you want to concentrate on that damaged body part and finish it off.
05:39Shawn Kinney playing weight on that leg as referee is checking him out there.
05:42Michaels staying very close to the ropes.
05:44A veteran from San Antonio, Texas.
05:48But what, what, go ahead and make another excuse for Shawn Michaels.
05:56I was saying the fans all over the world voted.
05:58Shawn Michaels, 39% of the votes.
06:00Michaels is not going to let anybody down.
06:02You'll get every bit of effort, every bit of courage that he has in his body on this night here in Milwaukee.
06:09Did you vote for Shawn Michaels?
06:10We just don't know.
06:11You can tell it.
06:12You can tell me.
06:13Did you vote for him?
06:14As a matter of fact, I did.
06:15See there?
06:16There you go.
06:17There you go.
06:19If you knew how injured he was, why would you vote for an injured man?
06:22I voted for Edge because he deserved it.
06:24I just don't know how much is in the tank of Shawn Michaels here tonight.
06:26Michaels backing in that corner.
06:28And Triple H is a Regal Assassin.
06:31The best in the world.
06:32There's no doubt about that.
06:33Michael's back in the corner.
06:35Let's bring Mike Hill and Astor from breaking Michaels with those right hands.
06:39See, I told you, look at Michaels.
06:41And Triple H, look at Michaels.
06:45Michael stuck in, hammering Triple H.
06:47Locking him down with the right hand.
06:48And Michaels staying right back in that corner, almost in a guard position, trying to stay
06:53protected.
06:54What I'm wondering is why didn't Shawn Michaels go ahead and follow up here?
06:57Is he?
06:58Damn it, because he's hurt.
06:59Can you think about anything but puppies and paintings and schoolgirls.
07:03The damn man is hurt, for God's sakes.
07:06Michaels fighting with everything he's got.
07:09He's using the ropes to hold himself up.
07:12And he didn't even kick Triple H when he had the tank.
07:15You know, I wish the hell I had an MRI in my pocket, but I don't.
07:20I don't know how those x-rays can be too tight.
07:22Oh, yeah.
07:23For God's sakes.
07:24You're pathetic.
07:25Well, no.
07:26It's just that, you know what?
07:28I know how you are about Triple H.
07:30I mean, if he came out here and, I don't know, if he walked on water, you'd say,
07:36look, Triple H can't swim.
07:38You just, I don't agree with that either.
07:40I have a lot of respect with Triple H's ability in the ring.
07:43And Michael's just knocking down the world's heavyweight champion.
07:45Let's not lose sight.
07:46Let's not lose sight.
07:47There's a kick.
07:48Look at that.
07:49Right on the leg, right on the damn leg.
07:52And Triple H hammering down and with a smile on his face, proud of his handiwork,
07:57hammering down on the left leg of Shawn Michaels.
08:01And you know what, huh?
08:03Somebody beginning to believe that his leg really is hurt.
08:07Triple H is believing that, too, I believe.
08:10He might be, you're right.
08:13He went right before that knee, didn't he?
08:15Getting right back in that corner.
08:16Michaels, hammering, fighting back, fighting with everything he's got out of desperation.
08:22This match could be over early, or maybe not.
08:26Michaels barely able to stand.
08:28Always got to be near the ropes of Triple H, driving his own knee into that,
08:32that if you're playing Shawn Michaels and does it again.
08:35Come on, Triple H.
08:36Well, I'm starting to believe, you know what?
08:43If his leg is injured, and now it appears that it is,
08:48he's done the stupidest thing that I could ever imagine.
08:52For these fans, for these four million voters, it could cost him his entire career.
08:58He's stupid because he had the courage, the guts to come out here and compete.
09:02Is that what you're saying?
09:03Well, when you compete against a man like Triple H, look at what Triple H is capable of doing.
09:07He's the World Heavyweight Champion, and if you're not 100%, you don't have a prayer against him.
09:10Shawn Michaels made a commitment to compete in this match.
09:13He's keeping his commitment, plus he has the opportunity to be the World's Heavyweight Champion.
09:19I told you, I told you I was worried about the, well, the judgment of the fans in these boats.
09:26Now these fans may have cost Shawn Michaels his career.
09:29One straight shot right to that knee, and down goes Michaels like he was shot with a gun.
09:34Heard what Tim Blake said, his leg's not broken, it will be.
09:39Oh, man.
09:41Again, that torn meniscus in the left knee.
09:44Shawn, do not read it, do not.
09:46That's good, boys.
09:47What do you say, Shawn?
09:48You gotta talk.
09:49Michaels is gonna ask him to give up.
09:50I don't believe Michaels will give up.
09:52I don't think he'll ever quit, ever quit.
09:54Oh, my God.
09:56On his career, on the fans, on his beliefs.
09:59Well, he's a one-legged man as we speak.
10:04I've heard the old saying, pride goes before a fall.
10:07Shawn Michaels could be so proud, so wanting to please these fans that cost himself everything.
10:14Man, I'll tell you what.
10:17Michaels is gonna be damaged goods before this one is said and done.
10:23And Triple H, the world champion, has his way.
10:26And Triple H will have his way.
10:28I think Shawn's actually crying.
10:33Well, I don't know if that's factual, but Cooper claiming the pain that he's gotta be in.
10:38And Triple H now, sadistically working on that damaged leg of Shawn Michaels.
10:46I believe that Triple H has been convinced that Michaels left leg is damaged goods and
10:52was coming into this match.
10:53Okay, I'm gonna give it to you.
10:55I believe it.
10:56I believe that Shawn Michaels was hurt before this match ever started.
11:00And if it wasn't, he's definitely hurting now.
11:03No wasted motion by the cerebral assassin,
11:06driving elbows and knees into the leg of Shawn Michaels.
11:10Over and over again.
11:12There's really nothing wrong with, when you're hurt this bad,
11:16there's really nothing wrong with saying that you can't continue.
11:21Triple H is relentless.
11:22It's almost as if the world's heavyweight champion is punishing Shawn Michaels for
11:27even being in the ring.
11:29And now Triple H is going to figure Bill Redlock.
11:34A page on a ripped clearance book.
11:39The figure for a leg lock.
11:44Michael has cannot be long here.
11:46I can tell you from experience, that may be, as far as anything that can be done to your legs,
11:51that's probably the most painful thing that there is in wrestling.
11:56To me it's worse than a sharpshooter, it's worse than anything.
11:59I'm gonna get a chance to tap out this.
12:02Call it all, call it all.
12:03Call it all.
12:04Referee should ring the bell.
12:05Don't end your career here tonight.
12:09How is he holding on?
12:14How is he withstanding this?
12:16Michael Spade's commitment.
12:18He's holding on with everything he's got.
12:21He's actually bleeding.
12:26The referee, I think the referee wants to ring the bell.
12:29And Shawn Michaels is holding on and keeping him from ringing the bell.
12:33Referee Michael, an experienced official.
12:38Sometimes you gotta make a tough call to stop the popular call.
12:41Ring it, Mike.
12:43Ask him.
12:44Ask him.
12:45Quick shot.
12:46Quick shot.
12:47Quick shot.
12:48Quick shot.
12:49Both of these men pleading their case to the referee.
12:54Triple H's telling him to ring the bell and telling Shawn to quit.
12:59Shawn told him the referee not to ring the bell.
13:01Somehow, someway, Shawn Michaels is holding on.
13:05He's trying to reverse the picture of the figure four.
13:09But I don't know if Michaels can do it here.
13:12I think he'd rather just get Triple H's leg up because I don't think,
13:15even if he can reverse this, I think Shawn Michaels leg is in such bad shape
13:20that he's not gonna help me to reverse it.
13:22His best bet.
13:23His only hope is to try to get to the ropes.
13:25Michaels reaching to the ropes.
13:26Trying to turn to his stomach.
13:28But for your position to see if Michaels won't get it out.
13:32I don't know how Michaels can withstand a figure four, even if it's like,
13:35Look at that.
13:36Look at that.
13:37Michaels in the ropes.
13:38He made it.
13:39Referee's gotta come on.
13:40Break the hole.
13:41Break the hole.
13:42Wow.
13:43Why did you ring the death bell?
13:44He didn't say he didn't give it up.
13:46He didn't.
13:47Very frustrated here.
13:49Michaels crawling to the corner.
13:51Not out of fear, not out of cowardice.
13:54But that's the only way Michaels can pull himself up is to use the ropes.
13:58My God.
13:59Michaels showing more guts and courage than anybody we've seen here tonight.
14:02And the reason Triple H is frustrated is because he, like me, I can't believe that Shawn Michaels held on that long.
14:08Come on.
14:09You gotta be kidding.
14:10Hit.
14:11Straight through his hands.
14:12Come on.
14:13But Michaels getting dangerous to that ring post.
14:15Dangerously close.
14:16Don't do this.
14:17Don't do this.
14:18Don't do this.
14:19Triple H's head bounced off the ring post.
14:25Michaels pulled everything he had to pull Triple H face first into the ring post.
14:31That had to take every bit of energy that Shawn Michaels had left in him and now he's just,
14:36he's barely able to even crawl across the ring away from Triple H.
14:41Now Michaels can't stand.
14:42Stand up.
14:43Michaels trying to get up.
14:44Trying as hard as he possibly can.
14:46Michaels is finally up on his feet.
14:48Triple H walked right into that big chop.
14:51Michael's got, he can't get both legs over him to deliver what he wants.
14:56Oh.
14:57Back to that left knee.
14:59Right back to the left knee.
15:01That might have been the, that could have been the last flurry.
15:03Look out, look out, look out.
15:04Triple H catapulted.
15:06He may have cracked his head on the ring post.
15:08I'm not sure.
15:09Michaels catapulted.
15:10Triple H sent him into the corner.
15:12And that's, yeah, I think his head hit the ring post and that's,
15:15that's the second time when the past minute or so that Triple H's head is
15:19blasted into that ring post.
15:20This could be a blessing in disguise if this is a count out for
15:26Shawn Michaels to get this thing over with, to get some medical attention.
15:31And Michaels is not the only casualty here tonight.
15:34As we mentioned earlier, Michaels trying to get back up.
15:37He doesn't want to be counted out.
15:39He should just stay down, JR.
15:42But it's not in Michaels to stay down.
15:44It's not in Shawn Michaels being equipped.
15:47Well, he's proven a point.
15:48He's made a believer out of me and certainly everybody that voted for him.
15:52Everybody here tonight, there's no sense risking.
15:54Michaels, that inverted atomic drop, taking chances here.
15:59The second one on the World's Heavyweight Champion.
16:01It's not a smart move at all right there.
16:03With a world title at stake and Michaels trying to pick himself up.
16:07That's three times Michaels sacrificing himself to get the advantage here.
16:13I know he's doing damage dropping Triple H's throwing across his knee, but
16:16he's also doing damage to his own knee.
16:18Cover it, Shawn.
16:19Shawn, cover it.
16:20Come on.
16:21What a pain.
16:22Can you imagine the pain that is wracking the body of Shawn Michaels?
16:28Look at the face.
16:29Look at the determination on his face.
16:31Michaels has kicked himself up.
16:35The world champion.
16:39Spaghetti lag.
16:40And Michaels trying to connect with the right hand.
16:42And Michaels can't get too far from the ropes because he can't stand up.
16:46Straight right hand by Shawn Michaels.
16:51I'll tell you what, folks.
16:56This is a profiling courage.
16:58Oh, man.
16:59We're watching here tonight.
17:00We're Shawn Michaels and Triple H.
17:02The likes of which we have never seen.
17:04You gotta be kidding me.
17:05Look at this.
17:06He got it.
17:07God Almighty.
17:08How close was that?
17:09Michaels got a near fall on the World's Heavyweight Champion.
17:12That would have been the upset of all time.
17:14Shawn Michaels, as injured as he is, beating Triple H?
17:19It would have been unthinkable.
17:21Triple H's right back.
17:23Right back.
17:24No wasted motion by the World's Heavyweight Champion.
17:26Right back to the damaged leg.
17:28There you go.
17:29Triple H shoving the referee out of the way.
17:32He wants plenty of room.
17:34Oh, that cost him.
17:35The referee did not see the low ball.
17:37What?
17:38Michaels been capitalized here.
17:41Michaels has got a chance.
17:43Shawn's got a chance.
17:44Oh my God.
17:45He's got him.
17:46Triple H's head planted right into the middle of that ring.
17:50I can't believe this.
17:52Shawn Michaels, the low ball that went undetected.
17:55And then the DDT.
17:57What is he doing?
17:58You need to cover him, Shawn.
17:59Shawn should have covered.
18:00Shawn should have covered for the DDT.
18:02Where is he going?
18:03No, Shawn, don't.
18:04See, he's not thinking right.
18:06This is not a good idea to cover.
18:08Look how long Triple H is not, he's unconscious.
18:12The DDT and Michaels follows him up.
18:16How can he climb?
18:17My God, Michaels is going to the top rope.
18:19Michaels is standing on the top turnbuckle.
18:22Bad, bad idea.
18:24Michaels hits the elbow.
18:29Look at his leg there, his leg.
18:31He landed wrong on that leg, I think.
18:33Michaels trying to pull himself back into him.
18:37Look at these fans.
18:39It could be divine intervention.
18:41Look at his face.
18:42Shawn Michaels can't win the world title here.
18:45He believes.
18:46You gotta believe it, Coach.
18:47His fans believe.
18:48He's a super kid in the way.
18:50Shawn Michaels believes.
18:52Look at this, he's tuning up the band.
18:57Michaels looking for some sweet tune music.
19:00Triple H is out of it.
19:02Batista.
19:03Batista up on the apron and Michaels knocked this Evolutions animal off the apron.
19:10Michaels got it.
19:11The showstopper just stopped the champion.
19:20Michaels connected with sweet tune music.
19:24Wait a minute.
19:25What the hell?
19:26It's Edge.
19:27I thought he left the building.
19:28My God.
19:29Edge of Spear shot Michaels behind the referee.
19:30Should have been me.
19:31My God, I don't believe this.
19:32He's screaming, it should have been me.
19:33My God, no.
19:34Michaels scored with a sweet tune music, but then got broken in half by Edge of Spear.
19:36And Batista had the referee's attention.
19:49I don't believe this.
19:54This cannot end this way.
19:59I don't believe this, this cannot end this way.
20:04This will not end this way, it cannot.
20:08Triple H is not even able to crawl across, now he does.
20:11Kick, kick out,
20:13damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it.
20:19Here's your winner and
20:24still the World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H.
20:31I do not believe, I'm not shocked that Batista got involved and
20:36Batista had Triple H's back.
20:39But Edge returning, and Frank and Michaels in half,
20:44I am absolutely flabbergasted, totally shocked.
20:51Remember what Edge was yelling, it should have been me,
20:56it should have been me.
21:00I still can't believe it, I mean, can we see?
21:03Can we see that?
21:06Check this out, JR.
21:08Shawn Michaels had us all believing, he was tuning up the band.
21:13The super tip right to the chin of the champion.
21:18Could have been done any better than this, this is disgusting.
21:23Shawn thought all he had to do was turn around and win the title and
21:25instead, you're right, he turned around and was cut in half by Edge.
21:32Charlotte could not kick out.
21:35Triple H's very fortunate to retain the World Heavyweight title here tonight.
21:41Very fortunate, a very talented champion.
21:46He's the best in the world, but Triple H's very fortunate here tonight.
21:50I cannot believe the actions of Edge here.
21:53Should have been seen.
21:56And folks, that is the courageous son of a gun right there.
22:03Shawn Michaels with as much heart and passion as anybody that I've ever laid eyes on in my 30 years in this business.
22:11And he gave you on one leg tonight.
22:13Everything he had.
22:15Everything he had.
22:17And there's a lot of guys that would have called instant and phoned or phoned it in.
22:22Not Shawn Michaels.
22:23Well, and he's getting a standing ovation that I gotta say that he deserves after that match.
22:30I'll tell you what, you're talking about earning the respect and even more respect than he already had.
22:40Michael should have, he should be leaving here with the World Heavyweight Championship after delivering sweet chin music to Triple H.
22:50I'm not gonna argue with you on that point, but a man Edge saw to it that that wasn't gonna take place.
22:57Well, and here's the way he did it, JR.
23:00This shocked me.
23:01This absolutely shocked me.
23:02Edge believed that it should have been him.
23:03He waited.
23:04And then he delivered.
23:05Look, look.
23:06You hear him?
23:07It should have been him.
23:08It should have been him.
23:09Go.
23:10Go.
23:11Go.
23:12Go.
23:13Go.
23:14Go.
23:15Go.
23:16Go.
23:17Go.
23:18Go.
