Transcript

00:00:00Excuse me.

00:00:18Excuse me.

00:00:20Attention please.

00:00:22Can I have everybody's attention just for a second please?

00:00:27It should only take a couple of minutes.

00:00:30I've been here quite a while.

00:00:32I'd like to think I have at least the respect of a lot of you and your attention for a couple

00:00:36of minutes while I address something that's going on that I know I don't like.

00:00:40I don't think many of you care for either and I'm talking specifically about the McMahon

00:00:45Helmsley error in the WWE.

00:00:48Yeah.

00:00:49Yeah.

00:00:50That's right.

00:00:51Frankly, I think this new era stinks and I'm probably not the only one who walked away

00:00:56from the arena on Monday night saying feel a little bit foolish for letting Triple H order

00:01:02me to have a match.

00:01:03I mean, who the hell is Triple H or Stephanie McMahon to order any of us to have matches,

00:01:08right?

00:01:09Look at what the new McMahon Helmsley era has done.

00:01:11Matt Hardy, one of the most talented young wrestlers in this company, just called from

00:01:15the hospital.

00:01:16He's got a cracked cheekbone and a broken nose.

00:01:18We don't know when he'll wrestle.

00:01:20Test, you've got a broken nose of your own.

00:01:23Enough said, right?

00:01:24Mark Henry.

00:01:25Mark, is there any excuse what happened to Mae Young on Monday night?

00:01:30You're damn right.

00:01:31There's no excuse for what happened to Mae Young.

00:01:33Then we got this top rope topless match going on.

00:01:38To me, it's just a cheap excuse to see as much cleavage from Terry Ronalds and B.B.

00:01:46All right.

00:01:47That one was pretty cool.

00:01:49But I think we're all in agreement that do any of us really need to see the Mean Street

00:01:54posse seven times in a single evening, right?

00:01:58Hey, Pete, Rodney, no offense, but you guys should probably be cutting our lawns about this

00:02:04stage in your career, okay?

00:02:08So what I guess I'm saying is I feel pretty much the same way that probably a lot of you

00:02:13do, the same way Dee Snider probably felt all those years ago when he said, we're not

00:02:18going to take it.

00:02:20No, we're not going to take it.

00:02:22We're not going to take it.

00:02:24We're not going to take it.

00:02:29We've got a new era in wrestling.

00:02:35We've got a guest here, a party crasher.

00:02:38Steph, I see that stern look on your face, but with all due respect to your parents and

00:02:42your brother Shane, what the hell are you doing at our meeting?

00:02:45What the hell am I doing here?

00:02:47What the hell are you doing here?

00:02:48And what the hell are all of you doing here?

00:02:50Well, I think it's called a mutiny, Stephanie.

00:02:51What is it?

00:02:52Some kind of mutiny?

00:02:53I think it's called a mutiny.

00:02:54You're damn right it is.

00:02:55We don't like the way things are going.

00:02:56We're not going to take it.

00:02:57Well, you know what?

00:02:58This happens to be my company.

00:03:00This is my family's company with all due respect to all of my family.

00:03:04So, Mick, excuse me.

00:03:05Please step aside.

00:03:06I need to explain a couple of things.

00:03:08I've only been in control for about two weeks and I've made some mistakes.

00:03:12Some mistakes.

00:03:13Yeah.

00:03:14My biggest mistake has been listening to Triple H, but that is no longer.

00:03:19This is no longer the McMahon-Helmsley era.

00:03:21This is the McMahon era.

00:03:22It's back to business.

00:03:24So, first of all...

00:03:25And we are supposed to believe each other.

00:03:26It doesn't matter.

00:03:27I don't care if you believe me or not.

00:03:28I'm going to prove it.

00:03:29How?

00:03:30Tess, tonight, you're going to take on the Road Dogg.

00:03:33Alone?

00:03:34It's alone.

00:03:35They have a habit of...

00:03:36DX has a habit of kind of sticking together, don't they?

00:03:38Well, you're going to have to wait and see.

00:03:40The Rock is going to take on Al Snow.

00:03:42That's great.

00:03:43But we saw the match Monday and we got half the roster involved at the end of it.

00:03:46Well, it wasn't in a steel cage.

00:03:48Tonight's matchup is in a steel cage.

00:03:49Steel cage.

00:03:50Okay.

00:03:51No interference.

00:03:52Yeah.

00:03:53And Mick, Hunter and I have taken out a lot of abuse on you.

00:03:55Including you slapping me, right?

00:03:57Yep.

00:03:58You called me a hoe.

00:03:59You deserved it.

00:04:00You're going to take on the Big Show tonight.

00:04:02Championship match.

00:04:04What's up, Mick?

00:04:05The match is not only for the World Wrestling Federation Championship, but just to prove that

00:04:09there is no allegiance between Hunter and I.

00:04:12He'll be suspended 15 feet above the ring in his own personal cell.

00:04:16Mick, Big Show, whatever's left of you guys, whoever's the champion, it doesn't matter,

00:04:25you can have at it with Hunter.

00:04:27And there will be five invitees, Tess, Edge and Christian, and the Hardy Boys.

00:04:32And whatever's left, you can pick up the scraps.

00:04:35Yes.

00:04:38Whoa.

00:05:05Well, you heard it, folks.

00:05:26The Rock is just going to be down still in a cage.

00:05:29Mankind ready to take on the big show for the WWF title on the line.

00:05:33And Triple H watching the match from a private cell.

00:05:37We welcome you to WWF SmackDown on UPN.

00:05:41Happy holidays, everybody.

00:05:42Michael Cole, Jerry the King Lawler at ringside.

00:05:45And King, can we believe Stephanie McMahon?

00:05:48Uh-oh, wait a minute.

00:05:50Look out, Michael.

00:05:52Watch it.

00:05:55He's the Intercontinental Champion.

00:06:04Y2J, Chris Jellicoe, kicking off SmackDown from the Spasab Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas.

00:06:13I'm telling you, Michael, you're talking about the big matches that we're gonna have here on SmackDown tonight.

00:06:19But the most important thing is we almost had a mutiny.

00:06:22I mean, Stephanie McMahon had to step in to club the uprising.

00:06:27Now that we're in the midst of the holiday season, Burl Ives tells us to have a Holly Jolly Christmas.

00:06:39Well, there ain't gonna be nothing jolly about Bob Holly's Christmas after he receives a Yuletide beating from the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla.

00:06:52Because tonight, I'm gonna deck these halls with the goofballs of Holly.

00:07:01Intercontinental Championships on the line, Chris Jericho to defend against hardcore Holly.

00:07:11Well, I think Chris Jericho may have a future with Hallmark someday.

00:07:15That could be the inside of a Christmas card.

00:07:17The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Championship.

00:07:24Introducing the challenger famous company by Crash from Mobile, Alabama.

00:07:29Playing it at well over 400 pounds, Hardcore Holly.

00:07:35Well, King, well, you were off gallant throughout Los Angeles at the movie premiere Monday night.

00:07:39Hardcore Holly defeated Val Venus to gain the shot of this Intercontinental Championship.

00:07:44This is a match which was made by Triple H on Raw Monday night.

00:07:48Speaking of Triple H, I wonder how he's going to react to what we just heard, the bombshell drop by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

00:07:56To be their first little spat.

00:07:58So it's Jericho against Hardcore Holly to kick things off on SmackDown, but folks, what a shocker.

00:08:04Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley has signed some huge matches tonight.

00:08:08And obviously, there's been some problems over the past couple of days between Stephanie and her husband, Triple H.

00:08:14Holly now off the road to Jericho with a leapfrog and Jericho with a nice elbow.

00:08:18The Intercontinental Champion in early control here in this matchup.

00:08:22It's a shame to see, well, to see Stephanie and Triple H having problems here at the holidays.

00:08:27Gotta be pretty serious though, Michael.

00:08:29Well, Stephanie distancing herself from Triple H here as we kicked off SmackDown.

00:08:33Don't know quite what she's doing, King, but I have to admit, she signed some big matches here tonight, but can we believe Stephanie?

00:08:40I guess she has a chance to prove herself here tonight, especially in that big match, Mankind vs. The Big Show for the title.

00:08:46Triple H in a sell above the rank.

00:08:48That is big, Michael, and you're right.

00:08:50What does Triple H think about that?

00:08:52I can't wait to find out.

00:08:54Hardcore Holly stomping away on the Intercontinental Champion, Chris Jericho.

00:08:58Also, Stephanie McMahon saying that Tess is gonna take on the Road Dogg tonight, promising no interference from the New Age Outlaws.

00:09:05The Rock will take on Al Snow inside a steel cage.

00:09:09Well, that Tess looking for a lot of retribution there.

00:09:11He's still sporting that broken nose.

00:09:14Oh!

00:09:15Jericho with a forearm to face.

00:09:16There's another one to Hardcore Holly.

00:09:17Tremendous opportunity by a former Hardcore Champion, Hardcore Holly.

00:09:21What a rake of the eyes that time by Holly, and he's gonna set Jericho up here.

00:09:25Holly, tremendous strength, shoving it with a suplex on Jericho.

00:09:31Stephanie McMahon admitting that she made some mistakes her first couple of weeks here in charge,

00:09:36quelling the attempted mutiny by Mankind and some other superstars here in the WWF.

00:09:41Hardcore Holly, top rope, Jericho count.

00:09:43My.

00:09:44We know Michael, it does take a big person to admit their mistakes, and Stephanie certainly seems sincere to me.

00:09:49I mean.

00:09:50Holly now knocking Jericho off the top rope.

00:09:53I just hope she doesn't regret it when Triple H finds out what she said to the guys.

00:09:58Jericho counters boot to the face, and the Intercontinental Champion titles on the line here,

00:10:04trying to take control as Crash Holly looks on at his fallen cousin Hardcore.

00:10:09And it is nice to see right here at Christmas time, the Holly cousins together.

00:10:13Can you imagine Christmas in that household?

00:10:15Holly whipped off the ropes, Jericho misses right hand, and delivers an elbow to the face of Hardcore Holly.

00:10:21Jericho is cooking here tonight on SmackDown.

00:10:24Sold out for Union Arena in Dallas, and what a bombshell dropped as we kicked off the show.

00:10:29Look at the cover now.

00:10:30Hooks the leg, Holly's got his leg on the bottom rope.

00:10:33Ooh, that was close.

00:10:34Smart move by Hardcore Holly.

00:10:37And King.

00:10:39Watch Crash, what's he up to?

00:10:40Look at this, Hardcore hooped into the corner.

00:10:42Jericho, Bulldog, off the rope.

00:10:44Face first goes Hardcore Holly into the center of the ring, and we've seen this before.

00:10:48Baseball slide.

00:10:50Crash knocked down, and Hardcore takes advantage.

00:10:52Man, Crash is out.

00:10:53Okay, what's the relationship between Chyna and Chris Jericho?

00:10:57We've seen Chyna help Jericho win some matches in recent weeks, including-

00:11:00Here we go.

00:11:01Monday. Look at this now.

00:11:02Here comes Crash.

00:11:03Trying to get the wall to Jericho and Hardcore Holly, and Crash Holly from behind.

00:11:08And referee Mike Keona calls for the bell here, and look out.

00:11:12Speaking of the devil.

00:11:13Here comes the ninth wonder of the world, Chyna, as the Holly's double-teamed Jericho.

00:11:18What do you mean speaking of the devil?

00:11:19She's not the devil.

00:11:20And Chyna now coming to Jericho's aid.

00:11:23I can't believe it.

00:11:24What is going on here?

00:11:25Look out.

00:11:26Crash over the top rope.

00:11:27And again, King Chyna has come to the aid of Chris Jericho.

00:11:33Yeah.

00:11:34And now there's a cat down here, what is Chyna doing?

00:11:37I have no idea.

00:11:39But again, Chyna has come to the aid of the Intercontinental Champion.

00:11:43For what purpose?

00:11:44For what reason?

00:11:45I don't know, Michael.

00:11:47I don't understand this relationship.

00:11:50I mean, is there a relationship?

00:11:52What's going on?

00:11:53Did you see?

00:11:54Look at the look now.

00:11:55On Y2J's face, he's as puzzled as we are, King.

00:11:58He doesn't have a clue what Chyna's doing.

00:12:01Uh-oh.

00:12:02Stephanie is no good.

00:12:04Yes.

00:12:05And we've been telling you that.

00:12:06She's got me on a match with Tess tonight by myself.

00:12:08And there's no telling what she's got in store for me, let alone you, 15 foot,

00:12:12all by yourself in that cage.

00:12:14You should be going after the World Wrestling Federation title.

00:12:17You're married to the girl, ain't you?

00:12:19Yeah, well, marriage is marriage.

00:12:21This is business.

00:12:22Just let me think, okay?

00:12:24There's gotta be a way out of this.

00:12:26Just let me think about it.

00:12:27I gotta come up with something.

00:12:28Let me think.

00:12:29And now, the WWF Style of the Week, presented by the WWF Slam Cam.

00:12:35Put yourself in the action.

00:12:37King must win, or Tori must end the holidays with X-Pac.

00:12:42Oh, what?

00:12:43He's set to move.

00:12:44What?

00:12:45Look out.

00:12:46No!

00:12:47I've got King and he's broken in hand.

00:12:49Not set.

00:12:50There's a cover.

00:12:51It falls anywhere.

00:12:52Oh!

00:12:53And the Dipset retains the title.

00:12:55And Tori spends Christmas with X-Pac.

00:12:58That was the WWF Slam of the Week, presented by the WWF Slam Cam.

00:13:03Put yourself in the action.

00:13:05Well, King, the bottom line is, as Kane had to beat the Big Show,

00:13:08he didn't get the job done, and Tori spending the holidays with X-Pac.

00:13:11Oh, my gosh.

00:13:12She could really be having some happy holidays.

00:13:14Now I realize why X-Pac was wearing that mistletoe belt buckle.

00:13:18Oh, this is gonna be something.

00:13:20Happy holidays for Tori.

00:13:21How in the world can you say that?

00:13:23Well, I'm just telling you, it could be really something.

00:13:26Hey!

00:13:27I want to help you, but I need you to help me.

00:13:32Monday night, you can have X-Pac in any type of match that you want.

00:13:37You can have any member of DX, for that matter.

00:13:39But I've gotta make it to Monday night.

00:13:41I know DX is gonna come after me.

00:13:43I know Hunter's gonna come after me.

00:13:45I need you to stay by my side.

00:13:47I need you to be here to protect me.

00:13:49I mean, I know what you must be going through.

00:13:52God only knows what that degenerate X-Pac has been doing to Tori.

00:13:58I mean, I can just imagine.

00:14:00You must be violating her very being.

00:14:03I mean, her skin must be crawling every time X-Pac even goes near her, touches her,

00:14:10gropes her, whispers in her ear.

00:14:13Oh!

00:14:14I can only imagine.

00:14:16But, Kane, I need you to help me tonight.

00:14:19And then you can have X-Pac.

00:14:21Will you do it?

00:14:23Oh, my God.

00:14:25Stephanie, she's recruited Kane to help protect her from Triple H and DX here tonight.

00:14:30Probably a wise move.

00:14:31What a recruitment speech.

00:14:33Wow.

00:14:34Speaking of wow.

00:14:36The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:14:39Speaking against weight in the ring, weighing in at 424 pounds, Rakeshi Batuu.

00:14:46But, Kane, you know, I have to admit, I'm a bit skeptical of Stephanie's actions here tonight.

00:14:50I mean, she hasn't been a calm, gentle leader recently.

00:14:54But she has signed some pretty big matches here tonight.

00:14:57And it looks like, yeah, hey.

00:15:00Hey.

00:15:01There's that, that orange lighting and that weird symbol on the Omiltron.

00:15:06Look at, look at your face.

00:15:07You're orange.

00:15:08No, you are too.

00:15:09Huh?

00:15:10This is odd.

00:15:11Everything in here is orange.

00:15:12Somebody or something trying to make a statement, but-

00:15:14Even the moose, the moose in your hair is orange.

00:15:16It's Mankind versus the Big Show title on the line.

00:15:19You're also gonna see The Rock and Al Snow inside a steel cage and

00:15:22testing the Road Dogg one-on-one.

00:15:24So it's Rakeshi Batuu against this man.

00:15:29New agent at 496 pounds, Viscera.

00:15:34Well, Kane, Rakeshi has a huge score to settle with Viscera from what happened

00:15:38at Armageddon earlier this month.

00:15:40It was Viscera and Rakeshi against the Holly.

00:15:42Yeah, and then things didn't go exactly right for the huge tag team.

00:15:46You saw Viscera causing Rakeshi to lose that, and then things went downhill from there.

00:15:52Yeah, Rakeshi followed with that big kick to the face of Viscera.

00:15:56And these two behemoths battled it out at Armageddon, and here we go.

00:16:00Hey, look.

00:16:01Wasting little time on SmackDown.

00:16:02Viscera, 500 pounds.

00:16:04Rakeshi well over 400.

00:16:06That's nearly 1,000 pounds of meat in that ring.

00:16:08And these guys-

00:16:09These guys have picked up right where they left off.

00:16:12And look at Viscera now with those huge right hands to the back of Rakeshi,

00:16:15who battles back now.

00:16:16Oh, my gosh.

00:16:17And look out, now Kane, look out, incoming.

00:16:19Oh, no, please.

00:16:20Again, into the announce table goes Rakeshi.

00:16:22This table's not made to withstand those.

00:16:24And Viscera with an aggressive attack on Rakeshi here in the early going.

00:16:29Man, oh, man.

00:16:31Rakeshi flying through the air.

00:16:34Viscera knocks him down and Viscera with the upper hand early on.

00:16:39Look out now, 500 pounds.

00:16:42What a splash of Rakeshi.

00:16:45Viscera didn't want the cover there.

00:16:47He wants to punish him, I think.

00:16:48He wants to give him some more of the same.

00:16:50No!

00:16:51Missed that time, went to the well, once two off, the big 747 grounded.

00:16:55And Rakeshi now battles back.

00:16:57The right hands from Rakeshi Fatu.

00:16:59These two guys in the ring is like having a two man battle royal.

00:17:03Viscera whipped into the corner.

00:17:05And look out now, Rakeshi.

00:17:07My, can you imagine King the Impact?

00:17:10I don't wanna imagine that.

00:17:12And Viscera out of the corner, now look at Rakeshi.

00:17:14No!

00:17:15Viscera countered, too much weight.

00:17:17And Rakeshi kicks out after two.

00:17:19Viscera thought he had him.

00:17:21Gonna be a collision tonight in the big show, the WWF Champion meets Mankind.

00:17:25Look at these two guys, these two guys are what a cannibal would love to get for Christmas.

00:17:29And what did Stephanie McMahon mean when she said he's a Hardy's edge in Christian and

00:17:33Tess will be there to pick up the scraps of Triple H.

00:17:36What a kick by Rakeshi.

00:17:37I don't know, but it doesn't sound too good.

00:17:40This doesn't look too good.

00:17:42Rakeshi from the second rope, Viscera better.

00:17:46Man!

00:17:47From the second rope, Rakeshi defeats Viscera.

00:17:51Man!

00:17:52Here is your winner, Rakeshi.

00:17:57Five, two!

00:17:58And check it out, King.

00:17:59What?

00:18:00This rivalry is far from over, but the funk just beginning.

00:18:03Check it out, it's too cool.

00:18:05This is cool.

00:18:07Scotty Too Hotty in a Santa hat and Grandmaster Sexy trying to coax Rakeshi to do some dancing.

00:18:15These guys are like, uh-oh, wait a minute.

00:18:18Don't let him get away.

00:18:19These guys are more welcome than the big fat man in the red suit.

00:18:23They are on their feet in Reunion Arena.

00:18:26Come on, let's get down.

00:18:30Boy, he could never get down to Chimney, could he?

00:18:33He needed the sunglasses, that's what it was.

00:18:35Okay.

00:18:36Here we go.

00:18:38Get Jiggy with it.

00:18:41Look!

00:18:43Rakeshi is too cool.

00:18:46I love Jiggy.

00:18:47This is the old.

00:18:49That's a new one.

00:18:50They've been working on it.

00:18:52Look at that.

00:18:53The holography.

00:18:54Look at this.

00:18:55It's been a pain from Scotty Too Hotty.

00:18:57And what are we getting from Rakeshi?

00:18:59The double, I don't know what, something.

00:19:01Rakeshi with a win over Mithra.

00:19:10Hey.

00:19:11I still don't know what you're saying.

00:19:12This is really awkward for me right now.

00:19:14Well, you know what?

00:19:15It's awkward for me, too.

00:19:16You know, I don't know what you're up to tonight.

00:19:18I don't know what you said.

00:19:19I don't know if I'm buying any of it.

00:19:21You know what?

00:19:22It really doesn't matter if you're buying any of it or not,

00:19:24because this is my company.

00:19:26I thought I covered everything in the meeting.

00:19:28Maybe you'll buy it when DX doesn't interfere in your match tonight.

00:19:31You're next.

00:19:32Good luck.

00:19:33We'll find out.

00:19:34Tested Road Dogg next.

00:19:37Reunion Arena in Dallas is sold out.

00:19:40Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley is running things solo.

00:19:42She signed The Rock to meet Al Snow inside a steel cage here on SmackDown.

00:19:48Wow.

00:19:49Right now, standing by our new broadcast colleague,

00:19:51Jonathan Coachman, the coach with the people's champ, The Rock.

00:19:55You know, Rock, after what happened to you on Monday night,

00:19:57you have to have retribution.

00:19:59Finally, The Rock has come back to dance.

00:20:17As we look back on the millennium and some of the greatest days that have taken place,

00:20:27the day Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity with his kite,

00:20:32the day Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon,

00:20:36and the day The Rock turned his head and raised the people's eyebrow.

00:20:41Thus, declaring The Rock, now and forever, the people's champion.

00:20:51And as we look back on some of the worst days, on that fateful, dreaded night,

00:20:59the night Mrs. Snow gave birth to Al Snow, one of the biggest pieces of monkey crap walking God's green earth.

00:21:11Al Snow, The Rock says this, it took not one, not two, but three jabronis to beat The Rock last Monday on Raw.

00:21:19But The Rock says that's okay. Tonight's a different night and a different show.

00:21:23This is SmackDown, The Rock's show.

00:21:26This is SmackDown, The Rock's show.

00:21:48The Rock says he's gonna do to you exactly what he does best inside of a 15-foot steel cage.

00:21:54The people's cage.

00:21:56The Rock says he's gonna lay it to smack it down on your candy ass.

00:22:01And The Rock says he will deliver the most electrifying move in sports entertainment.

00:22:09The people's elbow.

00:22:10One, two, three.

00:22:15Merry Christmas, Jabroni.

00:22:16If you smell what The Rock is cooking.

00:22:20If you smell out what The Rock is cooking.

00:22:31Is cooking.

00:22:40You didn't know?

00:22:46Your ass better call somebody.

00:22:54Well, King get ready for an emotionally charged matchup.

00:22:58Yeah.

00:22:59Here is one of the men directly responsible.

00:23:01Dallas, Texas, you damn right.

00:23:04For breaking test, no.

00:23:06Let's take you back to SmackDown this past Thursday night.

00:23:10Stephanie McMahon throwing tests to the top of the stage.

00:23:13It was an ambush, an attack by DX, and they broke test nose for a third time.

00:23:19Well, I'm telling you something.

00:23:20Look at this.

00:23:21They were all over him.

00:23:22The entire group of DX.

00:23:24And look, they measured off that nose and bang.

00:23:27Once again, nose broken.

00:23:30Well, apparently that was a happier time for Stephanie McMahon-Hounsley, Triple H, and DX.

00:23:34Stephanie's running things so low here tonight.

00:23:37Dallas, Texas, welcome to the doghouse.

00:23:44Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages.

00:23:54D-Generation X proudly brings to you one half of its WWF Tag Team Champions of the world.

00:24:04The road dog, Jesse James, and I represent the new HL Wolf.

00:24:11You people seem to be down with that.

00:24:14Well, this is a match that's been set up by Stephanie McMahon-Hounsley in a shocker.

00:24:22And Stephanie promised no interference in this one.

00:24:26So this is an opportunity for Stephanie to cure some doubting Thomases.

00:24:30She promised no interference.

00:24:31Let's see what happens.

00:24:33Michael, if he's too emotional here, he'll hit, look.

00:24:37That was a smart move, though, by the road dog.

00:24:39Man!

00:24:40Whoo!

00:24:41And here we go now, Test and the road dog.

00:24:43Test is emotionally charged.

00:24:45He's been an emotional wreck in recent weeks.

00:24:47What a sidewalk slam by Test.

00:24:49Of course, you see the protective covering on his nose.

00:24:51This past Monday night on Raw, Test forced into a handicap match against the New Age Outlaws.

00:24:56The Outlaws ripped that protective covering off and Billy Gunn delivered the famous sort of Test,

00:25:01nose first into the mat.

00:25:02Yeah, okay, Test is emotionally charged.

00:25:04What would you be, Michael, if you'd had your nose spread all over your face?

00:25:07Not once, not twice, but now three times.

00:25:10And how would you act, King, if you were gonna marry Stephanie McMahon just a short month ago,

00:25:14only to have that, only to have that be this huge trick,

00:25:17this dirty ruse we found out about in recent weeks.

00:25:20That's why I say this is-

00:25:21Oh!

00:25:22You're right.

00:25:23This is a very emotional young man.

00:25:24He needs to calm down.

00:25:25He needs to stay focused on the business at hand.

00:25:28If he doesn't, he's gonna get himself hurt a lot worse than a broken nose.

00:25:31Well, the road dog needed to win through the storm.

00:25:33Oh, look at that.

00:25:34Oh, my.

00:25:35White hand right to the nose, that protective covering of Test.

00:25:38And look at this now.

00:25:39Road Dog tossing Test back into the ring, and Road Dog's in control.

00:25:43You can't go out there.

00:25:44Hey, hey.

00:25:45I'm telling you, I haven't figured this thing out yet, all right?

00:25:47So let's just wait.

00:25:48Let's just see how the dog can handle himself.

00:25:52Right?

00:25:53Let me figure it out.

00:25:54Well, Triple H and Billy Gunn, Road Dog's partner, looking on.

00:25:57And Triple H sounds like he's trying to figure out what's going on with his wife,

00:26:01Stephanie McMahon Helmsley.

00:26:02Well, Triple H is a bit of a quandary, but I can assure you one thing.

00:26:05Did you see that?

00:26:07What a boot by Test to the nose of the Road Dog.

00:26:10Just let me say this, Triple H will come up with something.

00:26:12He's got too devious of a mind.

00:26:15He'll devise a plan, Michael.

00:26:17Well, Mankind and company earlier on tonight threatened a mutiny.

00:26:20Stephanie McMahon Helmsley admitted that she made some mistakes in recent weeks.

00:26:25And one of those mistakes, the biggest was listening to her husband, Triple H.

00:26:29She's trying to make amends here tonight on SmackDown, and she booked this match between Test and the Road Dog.

00:26:34Look out!

00:26:35What a maneuver!

00:26:36By Test, Road Dog's in trouble.

00:26:38Man, what a power bump.

00:26:39Uh-oh, look out.

00:26:40Hey, look at Road Dog now.

00:26:42Whipped off the rope by Test.

00:26:43Misses the left hand, and Road Dog with those legs to the face of Test.

00:26:46He's reeling, he's rocking, rocking around the Christmas tree.

00:26:50Woo!

00:26:51Uh-oh, misses, and Test with a right hand of his own.

00:26:53Hey, he loves that protective mask.

00:26:55He just used that protective mask, King.

00:26:57And Test now, giving Road Dog a little on his own medicine.

00:27:02Look out.

00:27:04Look out.

00:27:05And look out now.

00:27:06Road Dog in trouble, center of the ring.

00:27:08Test, climbing the ropes.

00:27:10He's not gonna deliver an elbow from there.

00:27:12Road Dog's halfway across the ring.

00:27:14Look out!

00:27:15He got him!

00:27:16Test got him!

00:27:17Hook the leg!

00:27:18It's over!

00:27:19Whoa!

00:27:22Here is your winner, Test!

00:27:25As Stephanie McMahon Helmsley promised to go outside interference.

00:27:29And on this night, Test was a better man over the Road Dog.

00:27:33Hey, what's happening now?

00:27:34And here's all that pen of frustration, that emotion, a steel chair for Test.

00:27:39He's reached a boiling point, and the Road Dog hightailing it.

00:27:43It was like a shot of adrenaline by Test, and Test needed this win emotionally,

00:27:48and he's still going to work on the Road Dog.

00:27:50And King may be Test a believer in Stephanie now, but Stephanie still has a lot more

00:27:55to prove here tonight to a bunch more WWE superstars.

00:28:00There's a long way to go in SmackDown and plenty to prove.

00:28:03That's just too much.

00:28:04I can't take this.

00:28:05Come on, man.

00:28:06Let's go right now.

00:28:07We're gonna have a little confrontation with Mrs. Helmsley McMahon.

00:28:11Oh, no.

00:28:12Oh, no!

00:28:13Look out!

00:28:14I wonder who that could be.

00:28:18Come in!

00:28:19Oh, it's my husband.

00:28:21Hey!

00:28:22Hey!

00:28:23Hey!

00:28:24Hey!

00:28:25Cain, I'll keep my end of the bargain.

00:28:26You get X-Pac on Monday, but you keep yours.

00:28:28Tonight, you can face Billy.

00:28:30You can face Billy, okay?

00:28:31What?

00:28:32What?

00:28:33Come on!

00:28:34Tags, James!

00:28:35Tag!

00:28:36Let me talk.

00:28:37All right?

00:28:38Tag!

00:28:39Let me talk.

00:28:40I'll take care of this.

00:28:41Yeah, come on.

00:28:42Talk to me.

00:28:43Come on.

00:28:44Come here.

00:28:45Come here.

00:28:46Sit.

00:28:47Sit with me.

00:28:48Please.

00:28:49Just sit with me.

00:28:50All right?

00:28:51Listen.

00:28:52We don't need to go here.

00:28:53All right?

00:28:54I don't need to be put in a cage and hung above the ring 15 feet.

00:28:57All right?

00:28:58I've made some mistakes.

00:28:59I pushed the boys too hard.

00:29:00All right?

00:29:01I pushed the envelope a little too far.

00:29:02But that's what you do when you have power.

00:29:04You can't put me in a cage, lower me down, and let seven guys eat me alive tonight.

00:29:09Let me just say something first, okay?

00:29:11This isn't personal.

00:29:12Our personal life is great.

00:29:13I mean, the sex with you is great.

00:29:17But this is business.

00:29:19Okay?

00:29:20This is no longer the McMahon-Helmsley era.

00:29:22This is the McMahon era.

00:29:24And you're gonna have to deal with that.

00:29:26You cannot put me in a cage and let seven guys, including Big Show and Mick Foley, eat

00:29:33me alive.

00:29:35You're right.

00:29:36Maybe there's nothing I can do about it.

00:29:38But...

00:29:39Where are you going?

00:29:40Don't walk away from me.

00:29:41I'm not done talking to you.

00:29:43I'll be right back.

00:29:48Come on, guys.

00:29:49Cops?

00:29:50Maybe they can.

00:29:51Cops?

00:29:52You mean cops?

00:29:53Enforcement.

00:29:54Listen, I am not doing this.

00:29:57I am not getting in a cage.

00:29:59I am not getting put above the ring.

00:30:01Oh, you're not?

00:30:02Well, they're gonna make sure that you do.

00:30:03They're gonna make sure that not only do you go to your locker room and sit there and wait,

00:30:08but they're gonna make sure that you get into that personal cell and that you are suspended 15 feet above the ring.

00:30:13I am not doing anything.

00:30:14Gentlemen...

00:30:15I am your husband and I...

00:30:16Thank you so much.

00:30:17I am your husband!

00:30:18I am your husband!

00:30:19I am your husband!

00:30:20I am your husband!

00:30:21You can't do this!

00:30:22Bye!

00:30:23Look!

00:30:24Well, King, we know their personal life is fine according to Stephanie, but obviously business-wise, they're not seeing eye to eye.

00:30:32I knew the spirits wasn't gonna work out.

00:30:36The victory contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:30:39Making its way to the ring from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

00:30:42Weighing in at 237 pounds, he's the only Olympic gold medalist to grace a World Wrestling Federation ring,

00:30:50and the most celebrated real athlete in the WWF, Kurt Angle!

00:30:56Well, he's undefeated here in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:30:59Would you people please, please hold your applause, please?

00:31:07What a gesture.

00:31:08Now, I...

00:31:13This guy's bigger than Troy Aikman, bigger than Brett Holton, he doesn't even seek the adulation.

00:31:17I always love coming down to the great state of Texas for two reasons.

00:31:24This state is known for its intensity, and obviously, this state is known for its integrity.

00:31:33Well, except for the Cowboys.

00:31:37But unfortunately, the people of this great state aren't the smartest people in the world.

00:31:44Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:31:47That doesn't necessarily mean the people here in Dallas.

00:31:54But if you work hard enough, maybe someday this state could be known for its intelligence.

00:32:04It could.

00:32:06I'm sure they'll take that to heart here in Dallas.

00:32:10And his opponent, from Toronto, Canada, weighing in at 240 pounds, Edge!

00:32:22So it's Edge against Kurt Angle, and King Edge is looking forward to his trip to the Carolinas this weekend.

00:32:27Big WWF's live event in Charlotte on Sunday, the day after Christmas.

00:32:31I'll be there!

00:32:32And Raw and Blue comes to Greensboro on Monday night.

00:32:35Good seats still available, make great Christmas gifts as Edge gets set to go to work on Kurt Angle.

00:32:41And here's a guy, and look out now, Edge hammering away on Kurt Angle.

00:32:45Here's a guy who's really felt the wrath of the, well, the former, I guess, McMahon-Helmsley era.

00:32:50I'll tell you one thing, look out, Edge, that's no way to treat an Olympic gold medalist.

00:32:53Edge has been forced in recent weeks to battle in a cage, to fight his brother Christian,

00:32:58to team against his brother Christian.

00:33:02And look at this, now, nice arm drag takedown by Edge, hip toss as well.

00:33:06Speaking of cages, I mean, Stephanie was pretty advantage.

00:33:09I mean, Triple H is gonna have to be put in a cage and suspended above the ring here tonight.

00:33:14And Edge will be one of those, one of the invited guests, as Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley calls them,

00:33:19who are gonna be able to pick up the scraps, in her words.

00:33:23And look at the belly-to-belly of Kurt Angle, to pick up the scraps of Triple H, whatever that means.

00:33:27Edge was involved in a big tag match on Monday night.

00:33:30Edge and Matt Hardy against Jeff Hardy and Christian, which Matt Hardy had his nose broken.

00:33:35I'll tell you what Stephanie's actions mean.

00:33:37It means that things are just not going- Look out, now, cover, King.

00:33:40Hook in the leg and a kick out.

00:33:41Things are not going well in their marriage.

00:33:42I knew it wouldn't.

00:33:43She's an Earth sign and Hunter's a water sign.

00:33:46Together they make mud.

00:33:47This thing has just gone sour.

00:33:49King, I still have to question, though, why the sudden change of heart by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

00:33:55I'm still a little skeptical.

00:33:57I mean, she's put a lot of people through the ringer as of late, including this man, Edge.

00:34:02Look at the elbows.

00:34:03Ooh.

00:34:04Nice side-rushing leg sweep.

00:34:05That's a real complex relationship.

00:34:07I can't figure it out for the life of me.

00:34:10Well, Triple H, we know, has been escorted, so to speak, back to his locker room by armed security.

00:34:15Escorted?

00:34:16And Stephanie has, I guess, hired a cane for the evening to protect her from Degeneration X.

00:34:23Oh, man.

00:34:24And look at Edge now.

00:34:26Great counter on the undefeated Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle.

00:34:29And Edge looking to put a blemish on Kurt Angle's unbeaten streak.

00:34:33And Edge misses off the top rope, but he lands on his feet.

00:34:36Angle didn't realize it.

00:34:37Kick to the midsection.

00:34:39DDT by Edge.

00:34:40Floats into the cover.

00:34:42Hooks the leg.

00:34:43Could be in here.

00:34:44Almost had him in Angle.

00:34:45Got the shoulder up.

00:34:46You know, one of the big matches signed tonight by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

00:34:49Coming up next, Kang.

00:34:50The Rock, Al Snow, inside a steel cage.

00:34:54I'll tell you this place will go crazy when The Rock comes down here.

00:34:57Look out!

00:34:58Somebody home!

00:34:59Slide by Edge.

00:35:00Angle's gonna pay for it.

00:35:01And the Olympic gold medalist should be wearing a gold coat!

00:35:06Into the steel post goes Angle.

00:35:08There may not be any more little Olympians in the future.

00:35:12Edge putting on a clinic here for Angle, who's upset with the referee.

00:35:17Watch for the spear!

00:35:18And here he comes!

00:35:19Look out!

00:35:20Edge missed with the spear, almost hit the referee.

00:35:22Angle from behind, ready to referee Teddy Long.

00:35:25And the referee's been knocked down.

00:35:28Come on, Kurt!

00:35:29King, look out, look at King!

00:35:30What?

00:35:31We got company.

00:35:32Uh-oh, look out!

00:35:33Steve Blackman, sometimes partner, sometimes rival of Kurt Angle as a guy.

00:35:37Kendo stick in hand.

00:35:39And Blackman just clocked Edge with a kendo stick.

00:35:42Reminiscent of what happened on Raw Monday night.

00:35:45And Angle counters.

00:35:46Who was trying, who was Blackman trying to hit?

00:35:49I couldn't tell.

00:35:50Hooks the leg.

00:35:51Yes!

00:35:52And Angle remains undefeated.

00:35:54Well, Monday night on Raw was apparent that Steve Blackman,

00:35:58who was the first one.

00:35:59Kurt Angle.

00:36:00Why did it hit Viscera to help Angle pick up the win?

00:36:02But tonight, Blackman clocked Edge and what in the world's going on?

00:36:06I'm not sure, but that kendo stick could have been meant for Kurt Angle too.

00:36:11Is this the second time this week that Blackman's helped Angle?

00:36:14Hey, watch.

00:36:15Let's see if we can see what's on.

00:36:16Watch this.

00:36:17While Angle ducking out of the way, kendo stick to the face of Edge.

00:36:23Is this the second time this week that Blackman's helped Angle?

00:36:27What the hell do you think you're doing interfering in Kurt Angle's match?

00:36:30You told me last Monday.

00:36:32Listen, don't you point at me, all right?

00:36:34I told you last Monday, tonight's Thursday.

00:36:37You stay out of Kurt Angle's business.

00:36:39That's my business.

00:36:40Stay out of it.

00:36:41Well, is Stephanie turning over a new lead?

00:36:44Well, she has a chance to prove it to The Rock.

00:36:46Next, The Rock beats Al Snow in a cage.

00:36:53I am just not getting this.

00:36:57I mean, Monday night, I beat The Rock in his own match, a Brahma bull rope match.

00:37:02I embarrassed him.

00:37:03I beat him fair and square, one, two, three.

00:37:06That is an event that is worthy of number one contendership.

00:37:09I should be facing the WWF champion, but I'm not.

00:37:14I'm facing The Rock again tonight in a cage match.

00:37:17And Mick is facing the WWF champion.

00:37:21I mean, why is Mick facing the WWF champion and not me?

00:37:25I don't get it.

00:37:26Are there some politics going on here?

00:37:28I think there are politics in everything, Alan.

00:37:30You can start by lowering your voice.

00:37:32You don't need to yell at me.

00:37:33You don't demand anything from me.

00:37:35I'll give you a title shot on Monday.

00:37:37If you defeat The Rock tonight in a steel cage.

00:37:40I guarantee you, I'll beat The Rock.

00:37:43And I won't just beat him.

00:37:44I'll cripple him.

00:37:46I'll break whatever I need to break.

00:37:48Great. Then I'll move on to Mick.

00:37:49And after I move on to Mick, I'll move on to the WWF champion.

00:37:51Go do it.

00:37:52Go do it, Al.

00:37:53Thank you, Mrs. Harsley.

00:37:55Whoa.

00:37:56Well, so King, if Al Snow wins this steel cage match against The Rock,

00:37:59he gets a title shot.

00:38:01Well, let's just show you what happened on Monday night on Raw.

00:38:04It was Rock versus Al Snow in a Brahma bull rope match.

00:38:07The Rock's specialty, and The Rock was cooking.

00:38:10Well, Rock had things well in hand until DX showed up.

00:38:14The New Age Outlaws, but The Rock took care of those guys.

00:38:18Yeah, The Rock battling The Outlaws as well.

00:38:20It was really a play on one situation, but

00:38:22The People's Champion was going for The People's Elbow and the win over Al Snow.

00:38:26He was ready to lay the smack down, but

00:38:28the smack got laid onto the back of The Rock, courtesy of The New Age Outlaws.

00:38:33Of course, there's no Rock giving in, and The Rock delivering the rock bottom to the Road Dogg,

00:38:40but Billy Gunn coming in from out of nowhere, delivering the Famouser to The Rock.

00:38:44And because of Billy Gunn's Famouser, Al Snow picked up a huge win over The People's Champion.

00:38:50I don't even know how Al Snow can claim a victory like that.

00:38:55Well, he says he won fair and square.

00:38:57My God.

00:38:58Well, the ring is a steel cage match.

00:39:02Making it right in the ring for Plano, Ohio, weighing in at 246 pounds, Al Snow.

00:39:11Al Snow thinks that was a real victory over The Rock?

00:39:13You just heard him say that to Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, who, of course,

00:39:16being protected by Kane because of a threat of D-Generation X here tonight on SmackDown.

00:39:21Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley signing the matches, claiming that, yeah, she made some mistakes.

00:39:25The biggest was listening to her husband, Triple H.

00:39:28So tonight, she's trying to get some superstars who've been wronged in the past couple of weeks.

00:39:33Well, some right here tonight on SmackDown.

00:39:35A little early Christmas present, a little holiday goodwill.

00:39:39But Kane, can we buy into all this?

00:39:42I mean, I understand what Stephanie's done here tonight, but she still has a lot to prove,

00:39:46not only to me, but to other superstars.

00:39:49Look out now, Al Snow and The Rock.

00:40:05Al wasted little time to go after the People's Champ on the ramp.

00:40:09And here we go.

00:40:10King Al Snow takes steel first in this one.

00:40:12I told you he wasn't too bright.

00:40:14Al Snow can beat The Rock.

00:40:15So now in a steel cage match, he gets a title shot on Wall Monday night.

00:40:19But The Rock is cooking into the barricade.

00:40:21The People's Champ puts Al Snow.

00:40:23This match hasn't even officially started yet.

00:40:27It's a steel cage match.

00:40:28Both men have gotta be inside that cage.

00:40:31And Al Snow, here's The Rock now with a counter.

00:40:34Right hand, Al Snow's facing another one again.

00:40:37And look out, King.

00:40:39Al Snow in the barricade.

00:40:41Rock with a chair.

00:40:45Misses as he hits the cage.

00:40:46Watch it hold.

00:40:47And Al Snow counters kicked to the midsection.

00:40:49Rock goes face first into the cage.

00:40:51Al Snow with a chair as well.

00:40:53He misses.

00:40:54That could have decapitated The Rock.

00:40:56There he goes, Al Snow's in the cage.

00:40:59And look at this.

00:41:01Well, The Rock's going in as well.

00:41:02And he's bringing the chair with him.

00:41:03A little stubbing stubber for Al there.

00:41:06And the match has officially started, folks.

00:41:08There's a couple of ways to win this steel cage match.

00:41:10You can win by pinfall.

00:41:12You can win by submission.

00:41:13Or you can win by escaping the cage, either over the top or through the door.

00:41:17And both feet must touch the floor.

00:41:19And Rock stomping away now on Al Snow.

00:41:23Revenge on the mind of the Brahma Bull.

00:41:26The Rock, the People's Champ.

00:41:28You know, you saw the interference by the Outlaws on Raw Monday Night King.

00:41:33Guarantee you there won't be any in this one.

00:41:35Steel cage surrounding the ring.

00:41:37Well, Stephanie McMahon put this match together.

00:41:40I'm sure much to the delight of The Rock.

00:41:43But Al Snow promised Stephanie that somehow, some way he'd win this match.

00:41:48Sellout crowd at Reunion Arena and Dallas looks on.

00:41:51Al Snow now trying to get out of the cage.

00:41:53Title shot on the line for Al.

00:41:55He'll meet the champion on Raw if he can get out.

00:41:57But The Rock counters.

00:41:58And Al Snow trying desperately to hang on to the top of the cage and he won't.

00:42:04And here comes The Rock unloading with his big right hands.

00:42:07Uh-oh.

00:42:08And a Smack for good measure.

00:42:10Smack is laid down on SmackDown by The Rock.

00:42:13I think the Smack's being laid down by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley here tonight.

00:42:18And look out, Al Snow telegraphed Rock counter with a swinging neck breaker.

00:42:22And Al Snow's head at the back of it bouncing off the mat.

00:42:25And now Al's gonna go for the steel chair.

00:42:27Uh-oh.

00:42:28No disqualifications in this match.

00:42:30Pitfall submission or out of the cage and you win it.

00:42:32You got The Rock with the chair.

00:42:34Chair to the gut, Al Snow wobbling.

00:42:37Gonna climb the ropes again as he attempts to get out of this steel cage.

00:42:41A title shot riding on it.

00:42:43If Al Snow can get out.

00:42:44And again, The Rock makes the save.

00:42:47Well, not quite.

00:42:49Al's still teetering.

00:42:51Can The Rock pull him in?

00:42:53And he does.

00:42:54And the People's Champion, Al Snow now.

00:42:56Top bow.

00:42:57Elbow to the face of The Rock.

00:42:59Al Snow close to getting out of this cage.

00:43:02Close to getting the title shot he desperately thinks he deserves.

00:43:05Taking way too much time here.

00:43:08He's got a crazed look in his eyes, King.

00:43:10No kidding.

00:43:11And he misses.

00:43:12No!

00:43:13Rock counters.

00:43:14Plants him with a DDT.

00:43:15That's it.

00:43:16And The Rock rolls into the cover now.

00:43:19Keep in mind, Pinfall will win this.

00:43:21Referee into the ring.

00:43:22There's two, almost three.

00:43:24And Al Snow gets his shoulder up.

00:43:26Come on, ref.

00:43:27What took you so long to get in the ring?

00:43:30The ref has to stay out of the cage.

00:43:32Can't he stay in the cage?

00:43:33Referee needs to be outside the cage, King, in case one of these superstars tries to go over

00:43:38the top and touch the floor.

00:43:39He needed to be inside there.

00:43:40Rock would have won this thing by now.

00:43:42He also has to work the door in case the superstar wants to go out the door.

00:43:45And The Rock's gonna try to go over the top now.

00:43:47The People's Champ trying to get out of this cage and end this match against Al Snow.

00:43:52And Al Snow counters, and look out.

00:43:54Oh.

00:43:55Hung up on the top rope, steel chair to the forehead of The Rock.

00:44:01And The Rock may be out cold, King.

00:44:04And Al Snow, if he can pick up a cover here, is gonna get a title shot.

00:44:07Can you believe it?

00:44:08Hooks the leg.

00:44:09I can't believe it.

00:44:10Referee into the ring.

00:44:11Here we go now.

00:44:12Al Snow may face the champion, and no.

00:44:14The Rock gets a shoulder up again.

00:44:16And King again, this match was set up by Stephanie.

00:44:21Apparently a Christmas gift for The Rock.

00:44:23And so far tonight, Stephanie has been making good on her promises.

00:44:27She's probably got some people believing in her now.

00:44:30And she has the opportunity to prove some things to Kane later on tonight.

00:44:33Kane set to take on BA Billy Gunn.

00:44:36And Mankind gets a title shot against The Big Show.

00:44:40Look out.

00:44:41Look out now.

00:44:44Al Snow is close to getting out of that cage.

00:44:46He is close.

00:44:47Al Snow teetering on the top of the cage.

00:44:49The Rock, he's out.

00:44:50The Rock to his feet.

00:44:51Can Al Snow get down?

00:44:52Get his hair.

00:44:53The Rock's got Al Snow by the hair.

00:44:54How'd you know that?

00:44:55The only thing left to grab.

00:44:57And look at this now, Al Snow with right hands to The People's Champ.

00:45:00Al Snow is teetering.

00:45:01The Rock's got Al Snow by his hair.

00:45:03Look at the strength of The People's Champ.

00:45:05He's trying to bring Al Snow back into the ring.

00:45:07Al Snow on top of the cage.

00:45:09Pull.

00:45:10Pull it out by the roof if you have to, Rock.

00:45:12Al Snow's back in the cage.

00:45:14In The Rock now.

00:45:15Setting him up top rope.

00:45:16No.

00:45:17Face first.

00:45:18Again.

00:45:19A third time.

00:45:23No.

00:45:24No, not this.

00:45:25Suplex, top rope, plants Al Snow.

00:45:28He folded him up like an accordion.

00:45:30And that fall took a lot out of The Rock as well, gang.

00:45:33Which one of these superstars has anything left?

00:45:38Pinfall submission or out of the cage and you win this one.

00:45:42Another look, gang, at this tremendous suplex by The Rock.

00:45:45What's the back of Snow's hand?

00:45:46Hit that man hard.

00:45:48The impact thundering throughout the reunion arena.

00:45:51The Rock to his feet.

00:45:52Al Snow to his feet.

00:45:54And The Rock now with a right hand.

00:45:56And another one.

00:45:57And a rake of the eyes by Al Snow.

00:46:00Again, no disqualification in this one, folks.

00:46:02Al Snow hammering away.

00:46:05White hands to The Rock.

00:46:07Al Snow is nuts.

00:46:10No kidding.

00:46:11He's been extremely jealous of The Rock ever since The Rock and Sock connection was formed.

00:46:15Al Snow believing The Rock took his best friend away.

00:46:18Uh-oh.

00:46:19I've seen this before.

00:46:20Watch yourself, Rock.

00:46:21Al Snow off the chair.

00:46:23And Rock caught him with a clothesline in the back of Al Snow right through that steel chair.

00:46:30What?

00:46:31Let me borrow your line.

00:46:32What a maneuver.

00:46:33That was great.

00:46:34The Rock catching Al Snow with a forearm.

00:46:38Al Snow small on his back, crashing through the chair, almost splitting that steel chair in half.

00:46:45I think it is split in half, did you see that?

00:46:48Al Snow with a low blow and then a right hand.

00:46:51How is Al Snow still standing after the impact of that chair and a spine?

00:46:56Look out now.

00:46:57Man!

00:46:58The Rock counters into the steel chair.

00:47:01Now this knife is being laid down properly.

00:47:04Here you go, Michael.

00:47:06Merry Christmas, everybody.

00:47:09Coming down your chimney, down people's elbow.

00:47:13Rock connects.

00:47:15On the left of my new year we're gonna have.

00:47:17Hooks the leg, referees in.

00:47:19And The Rock defeats Al Snow.

00:47:22The Rock is coming.

00:47:25Here is your winner, The Rock.

00:47:30The Rock got his revenge on Al Snow, and Al Snow will not get his title shot.

00:47:37The people's chaff with a people's elbow.

00:47:42And a Christmas present for Mr. Snow.

00:47:45Check this out, you guys.

00:47:46Check what I think.

00:47:47They are building a stupid pool for us to fight in.

00:47:50What? A pool?

00:47:51Yeah, just slop like pudding and fudge and whatever they dream of.

00:47:55Gravy and swimming pool stuff.

00:47:57I've worked a long, hard time to get my butt on the canvas to wrestle.

00:48:02That's right.

00:48:03Well, listen.

00:48:04You guys, if we ever wanna fight again in the ring, real wrestling,

00:48:07if you ever wanna lace up your boots again, we gotta do something now.

00:48:10For the sake of a women's division, we gotta do it now.

00:48:13It's getting serious.

00:48:14Okay, we're back here on SmackDown.

00:48:19And that's the music for the former WWF Women's Champion, Ivory.

00:48:24And we saw before the break that Ivory said somebody has to do something to save the women's division.

00:48:31What is she talking about?

00:48:32Well, I think she's trying to sweep her head some sort of moment.

00:48:35Way to the ring, Ivory.

00:48:38You think she's upset that she lost a women's title in that evening gown match in a pool at Armageddon?

00:48:43Yeah, trying to start a movement.

00:48:44Like both movements, it might need to be plugged.

00:48:50Why does it seem like every time I come out here, I have to talk about thingies?

00:48:55Talk about what?

00:48:56Those?

00:48:57Well, this time, I'm taking this stuff personal,

00:49:02because what Miss Kitty did at Armageddon, well, that's just a little too much.

00:49:08Hey, that's a cat to you.

00:49:10This WWF is a sports entertainment show, not adult entertainment.

00:49:15And I have worked way too hard to establish a real women's division.

00:49:23I am the class and dignity champion.

00:49:27But you're not, what?

00:49:28She's not the champion.

00:49:29And all that Miss Kitty is doing to this title is wiping her smut all over it.

00:49:36Whoa.

00:49:37I am the women's wrestling champion.

00:49:42Miss Kitty, you come out here and let's wrestle.

00:49:47A challenge for Ivory to the champion.

00:49:51Come on, anything goes.

00:49:53Any stipulation you want, as long as it's in a wrestling ring and we're wrestling.

00:49:59Come on, what have you got?

00:50:01Does that mean no pudding match?

00:50:02I don't think Miss Kitty's gonna be too pleased that Ivory's not calling her the cat.

00:50:06Uh-oh.

00:50:07Well, I guess the cat has accepted Ivory's challenge.

00:50:12Oh, baby.

00:50:13Or perhaps she's gonna have some words for Ivory.

00:50:17Come on, fellas, what do you put your cat?

00:50:20Woo!

00:50:21Merry Christmas.

00:50:23What great wrestling attire.

00:50:28You think Stan would want an elf like that?

00:50:31That might stand apart and leave.

00:50:33This is tall, wouldn't it?

00:50:35The women's champion, the cat accompanied by Chyna on their way to the ring.

00:50:40Like a stuffer's docket.

00:50:42Look at this.

00:50:45Happy holidays, folks.

00:50:47Ivory's laid out a challenge.

00:50:51She wants to go one-on-one with the women's champion, the cat, here tonight on SmackDown.

00:50:56Ivory doesn't care, Kim, what kind of stipulations there are.

00:51:02She just wants it to take place inside the ring, and the cat trying to drag Chyna into the ring,

00:51:09but the cat's doing it on her own there.

00:51:12Well, Chyna's, I think she's telling the cat they're going on her own, you're right.

00:51:17Well, she is the women's champion.

00:51:20She won the title at Armageddon.

00:51:21Uh-oh.

00:51:24Let me get this straight.

00:51:26You wanna match with me tonight in this ring?

00:51:28In this ring, yes.

00:51:30Anything goes?

00:51:32Anything goes, come on.

00:51:34Let's go.

00:51:36How about no DQ?

00:51:39Let's do it, come on.

00:51:40No disqualification?

00:51:42How about no count out?

00:51:44No count out, fine.

00:51:46Let's do it.

00:51:47Wrestling right now.

00:51:48Let's go, come on.

00:51:49All right, fine, hot shot, you got it.

00:51:53Wait a minute.

00:51:54Well, the cat has accepted the challenge.

00:51:56No disqualification, no count out for the women's championship.

00:52:00You gotta be kidding me.

00:52:01Here comes the referee into the ring, and we're gonna have a match here, King.

00:52:04Watch yourself.

00:52:05Well, it wasn't scheduled, but we've got a match.

00:52:08It's cat versus Ivory.

00:52:09Anything goes?

00:52:10Anything goes.

00:52:11No disqualification.

00:52:13Falls count anywhere.

00:52:15And Chyna now, perhaps giving the cat some strategy.

00:52:19Wait a minute.

00:52:21Can't wanna get in a few good looks.

00:52:23Look out, King.

00:52:24What?

00:52:25Chyna's in the ring.

00:52:26What's up with this?

00:52:28The ninth wonder of the world.

00:52:30Ivory and Chyna face to face in the ring.

00:52:35I don't think this is what Ivory had in mind.

00:52:38I don't think so either.

00:52:39She wanted to go one-on-one with the cat.

00:52:42And I think she's getting Chyna.

00:52:44King, there's no disqualification.

00:52:46Yeah, Ivory wanted it.

00:52:51Ivory better do something.

00:52:53She tried for the right hand and Chyna.

00:52:56What a clothesline.

00:53:00Hey, Ivory agreed to the stipulations.

00:53:04Chyna's laughing about it.

00:53:06No DQ, no count out, false count anywhere.

00:53:09And as Chyna goes six foot, nearly two pounds, King.

00:53:15And Ivory's going to fly here.

00:53:17The pedigree.

00:53:18Chyna rolls her over and she's calling the cat into the ring.

00:53:23Look at the cat.

00:53:25Man.

00:53:32Here's the cover on Ivory.

00:53:34The cat retains the title.

00:53:37Ivory agreed to the stipulations.

00:53:39And still won't go to the title.

00:53:41Women's champion.

00:53:43The cat.

00:53:44The cat and Chyna have stepped it up their sleeve all along.

00:53:47Give Chyna the assist.

00:53:48The cat's still the champ.

00:53:50Good lesson for Christmas upcoming.

00:53:52Be careful what you ask for.

00:53:53You just might get it.

00:53:55Ivory's Christmas wish was the title.

00:53:57She ain't getting it on SmackDown.

00:53:59Good, good, good, good.

00:54:00Hey.

00:54:01Hey, guys.

00:54:02How you doing?

00:54:03Nice up there.

00:54:04We heard that you have a match with Jeff Hardy and Chris tonight.

00:54:06Is that right?

00:54:07Yes.

00:54:08Of course, you guys are in luck.

00:54:09Because we've been scouting them and we can tell you how to beat them.

00:54:11You know how to beat them.

00:54:12You know how to beat them.

00:54:13Listen, guys.

00:54:14Do you understand what I'm saying?

00:54:15Yeah.

00:54:16I'll talk slow if you want.

00:54:17Yeah.

00:54:18First thing you got to do is relax.

00:54:20Relax.

00:54:21Okay?

00:54:22Relax.

00:54:23Relax.

00:54:24Because we know how you Chinese guys are.

00:54:25Hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:54:26We are not Chinese.

00:54:27We are Japanese.

00:54:28What?

00:54:29Guys, listen.

00:54:30Chinese, Japanese, whatever.

00:54:31Just sit down.

00:54:32Get your chopsticks, a little rice.

00:54:34Get off your feet.

00:54:36It'll be no problem.

00:54:37Relax.

00:54:38Just relax.

00:54:39Relax.

00:54:40Big hot flyer.

00:54:41We're back on SmackDown at the Reunion Arena in Dallas.

00:54:47So much for the McMahon-Helmsley era.

00:54:50It's the Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley era, here tonight on SmackDown.

00:54:54The following Tag Team contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:54:59Introducing first for Toronto-Canada, weighing in at 215 pounds, Christian.

00:55:07Christian sets the team up with Jeff Hardy, against Kai and Tai, here tonight on SmackDown.

00:55:12Should be a high-flying matchup.

00:55:14And his Tag Team partner, being accompanied to the ring by Terry.

00:55:22From Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in at 213 pounds, Jeff Hardy.

00:55:28Hardy!

00:55:29Yahoo!

00:55:30Okay, we first saw this team event, Jeff Hardy and Christian on Raw Monday night,

00:55:35when they were forced by a Stephanie and Triple H to take on Matt Hardy, along with Edge.

00:55:41Matt Hardy ended up in the hospital with a broken nose and a broken cheekbone.

00:55:46Terry!

00:55:47Now, folks, tonight, WWF SmackDown is brought to you by Western Union Money Transfer,

00:55:52the fastest way to send money worldwide.

00:55:55And by 1-800-Collect, the easy way to send.

00:55:58And by Tomb Raider, the last revelation from Eidos Interactive.

00:56:03Looks like a little revelation from Terry.

00:56:07Wait a minute, what is this?

00:56:09Kai and Tai set for the matchup.

00:56:12And third opponent, being accompanied to the ring by the Mean Street Posse,

00:56:18at a combined weight of 388 pounds, Taka Ichinoku and Funaki of Kai and Tai.

00:56:27I knew something was up here, Michael.

00:56:29We saw the Mean Street Posse cuddling up there, trying to give Kai and Tai some advice.

00:56:34I think that advice is gonna extend right on into the match.

00:56:36Well, this is a strange relationship, the Posse and Kai and Tai.

00:56:41Anyhow- I don't think there's any relationship.

00:56:43Come on, the Mean Street Posse thought these guys were Chinese.

00:56:46So as Kai and Tai gets set to take on Jeff Hardy and Christian, folks,

00:56:50big week of WWF live events on the way.

00:56:53Sunday, we're in Charlotte.

00:56:54Monday, Raw is war in Greensboro.

00:56:57And Wednesday and Thursday, Nashville and Memphis down in your neck of the woods,

00:57:00and you're gonna be there.

00:57:01I'll be right there peddling it out, Nashville and the hometown of Memphis.

00:57:05Good seat still available, folks.

00:57:07What a great Christmas gift as Taka Ichinoku now goes to work.

00:57:10Big right hand to Christian.

00:57:12Jeff and Christian picking up the victory over Edge and Matt Hardy being forced into

00:57:16that matchup on Raw by Stephanie and Triple H.

00:57:19Look at this.

00:57:21What a difference a few days can make, King.

00:57:24Triple H and Stephanie having serious problems here tonight on SmackDown.

00:57:28I'll tell you something, not having any problems, the posse, they're so jovial,

00:57:31they're like real proud of the culture.

00:57:33Look out now, Taka kick out by Christian.

00:57:36One of the matches set up by Stephanie McMahon Helmsley here tonight.

00:57:40Big show, man tied.

00:57:41WWE title will be on the line.

00:57:44Covered by Christian, hook of the leg and a kick out.

00:57:47Triple H is gonna be suspended in a personal cell 15 feet above the ring of that.

00:57:52I can't wait to see.

00:57:54Triple H has gotta come up with something on this.

00:57:57Some sort of plan, something to offset this, this being suspended above the ring.

00:58:02Well, he's in his locker room now, armed security, making sure he doesn't get out and

00:58:05go after Stephanie.

00:58:06Believe me, that's no good.

00:58:07I had it happen to me one time.

00:58:08Look out now, Christian from the top rope.

00:58:11Evil Knievel wouldn't even have tried that jump.

00:58:13And Taka with a kick to the chest.

00:58:17Look at this now.

00:58:21Man.

00:58:22I think you're talking about Bobby Knievel, right?

00:58:24Taka off the second rope, knocking down Funaki.

00:58:26What'd he ever jump for?

00:58:27Look at this.

00:58:28Man.

00:58:29Here's a jump for you.

00:58:30Jeff Hardy and his team of Christian and Jeff, impressive.

00:58:37You know, King, Jeff Hardy and Christian gonna be among the invited guests,

00:58:41as Stephanie McMahon Helmsley calls them to, as she said, pick up the scraps of Triple H.

00:58:46What does that mean?

00:58:47I have no idea.

00:58:48We know Triple H is gonna be in a personal cell above the ring for that title match.

00:58:52And that's no fun.

00:58:53I had that happen to me one time.

00:58:54I got a nosebleed.

00:58:55And look at this now.

00:58:56My.

00:58:57Big leg drop.

00:58:58Top rope.

00:58:59Jeff Hardy with a cover now.

00:59:00On Funaki in a kick out after two.

00:59:02Speaking of the nosebleeds, Tess supposed to be invited out here too to pick up pieces of whatever.

00:59:06Well, Tess got a piece of the Road Dog earlier on.

00:59:09Stephanie promised no interference in the matchup.

00:59:11There wasn't any.

00:59:12Tess picked up the win.

00:59:13Look out here.

00:59:14Jeff Hardy.

00:59:16And look out, Christian now, reminiscent of the Hardy Boys.

00:59:19Christian and Jeff working together.

00:59:21Jeff.

00:59:22And Funaki in La La Land in the middle of the ring.

00:59:26Wait a minute.

00:59:27Uh-oh.

00:59:28These guys are having a little, now there's a little scap between the two.

00:59:32Miscommunication.

00:59:33Funaki and Taka made him pay.

00:59:35Terry looking on with concern in ringside and the double team now by Kai and Tai.

00:59:40That was odd.

00:59:41They were working so well as a team and all of a sudden.

00:59:44Nice leg sweep by Taka.

00:59:46Funaki follows it up.

00:59:47We've seen this before.

00:59:48One, two, one.

00:59:49Taka drop kick to the forehead.

00:59:51One, two, one.

00:59:52One, two, one.

00:59:53One, two, one.

00:59:54And look at this.

00:59:55Christian, Taka in trouble.

00:59:56Clankton, center of the ring.

00:59:58And Christian needs to make a tag to Jeff Hardy.

01:00:02You gotta go ahead for Funaki.

01:00:05Christian and Hardy gotta get back on the same page.

01:00:08Looks like maybe they have.

01:00:09And Jeff now right hand to Tanaki.

01:00:11Right hand to Taka.

01:00:12Another one by Jeff.

01:00:13No!

01:00:16Man.

01:00:17Low blow, so to speak, for Jeff.

01:00:19And here's Funaki now.

01:00:21Into the corner.

01:00:22And what's Jeff gonna do here?

01:00:24Look at this.

01:00:25An innovator of offense.

01:00:27Jeff Hardy had to cover and Taka broke up the three count.

01:00:30We got them all in the ring now, Michael.

01:00:34All four men in the ring.

01:00:35Terry on one side of the ring, the Posse on the other.

01:00:38Jeff Hardy up over the top for Funaki.

01:00:41Taka.

01:00:43Funaki again with the right hand to Christian.

01:00:46And look out now.

01:00:47Jeff just rolled the barricade and took out Taka Mijinoku.

01:00:50Wow.

01:00:51And Christian now in the ring.

01:00:53Look out now.

01:00:54Plants for Haki.

01:00:55Face first.

01:00:56Jeff Hardy, top rope.

01:00:58Here we go.

01:00:59Here we go.

01:01:00And pop, bomb.

01:01:01Jeff Hardy hooks the leg.

01:01:03Forget about it.

01:01:04Hardy and Christian pick up the ring.

01:01:08The Posse's advice.

01:01:09This work.

01:01:10Merry Christmas.

01:01:11Harry.

01:01:12Look at the Posse though.

01:01:14They are certainly not happy.

01:01:16They gave the advice and backfired.

01:01:21And Kayantai and the Posse having some words.

01:01:24What do you mean the advice backfired?

01:01:26I think the Kayantai guys are responsible for execution, Michael.

01:01:31Whatever.

01:01:32Well, the Posse not too happy.

01:01:36Now it's Kayantai from behind.

01:01:38Taka and Funaki with drop kicks to the Posse.

01:01:41And the Posse from the mean street to Greenwich.

01:01:43Take it off after Kayantai.

01:01:45Look out.

01:01:46Now, Mick, I have nothing to go on here.

01:01:49Based on what I've seen tonight, nothing to go on.

01:01:51But my gut tells me that maybe we're not to bow into this Stephanie McMahon thing.

01:01:56I think you need to be dang careful out there against a big show tonight.

01:01:59I'm going to have my eyes wide open, but I'm really focused not on Stephanie McMahon, but on the big show.

01:02:04And I'll tell you what, it's going to be a heck of a Christmas if Mrs. Foley's little boy comes home wearing gold, if you know what I mean.

01:02:10Sure will.

01:02:11Thanks for the hot tip.

01:02:12Good luck to you, Mick.

01:02:13Good luck.

01:02:14You know, KJR is always skeptical, but I have to admit, Stephanie's proving herself to me.

01:02:19She can prove herself to Kane.

01:02:21It's Kane one-on-one with Billy Gunn.

01:02:24Next!

01:02:27Welcome back to SmackDown.

01:02:28Stephanie has her husband Triple H under house arrest.

01:02:32He's not thinking about this.

01:02:33He's thinking about Tori.

01:02:34You be focused, and you take him down, all right?

01:02:37He's fixing to have a meltdown.

01:02:39Damn right.

01:02:40Go get him, dawg.

01:02:41Well, folks.

01:02:45Uh-oh.

01:02:46I think I saw Road Dogg saying a prayer for Mr. Ab.

01:02:52He's gonna need it.

01:02:53It has not been a good holiday week, to say the least, for Kane.

01:03:00His girlfriend, Tori, has spent the past couple of days with X-Pac.

01:03:05And he's got more days to spend.

01:03:10Following contest is scheduled for Woodfall.

01:03:13Mickey gets ready to the regulation at 326 pounds.

01:03:18Kane!

01:03:19You know, on Raw Monday night, Kane was, in a sense, screwed by Stephanie and Triple H,

01:03:23as they made up stipulations as his match against the Big Show went on.

01:03:27Kane lost his title shot, and he also lost Tori when he lost the match.

01:03:31And, you know, he can't get to X-Pac, but he gets to one of the Outlaws here tonight.

01:03:36Watch it.

01:03:37Come on, let's face it.

01:03:41He's only lost it for the holidays, you know, Michael.

01:03:44Only.

01:03:45Most important time of the year for a relationship, right?

01:03:49Come on.

01:03:50I'm a last man.

01:03:51What could he have gotten Tori for Christmas?

01:03:53Can you imagine Kane out Christmas shopping?

01:03:55And his opponent, he weighs in at 269 pounds, Mr. S.

01:04:03And here we go now, Mr. Ash wasted little time.

01:04:06The speed and quickness advantage over Kane.

01:04:08The strength, of course, to the big seven-footer.

01:04:10And they're hammering away on each other in the middle of the ring.

01:04:13Kane with a knife-edged shot, the BA Billy Gunn.

01:04:16That little pep talk from Hunter really motivated Mr. Ashford.

01:04:19I don't really know who Hunter was trying to convince.

01:04:21Well, Kane needs to answer himself.

01:04:23Kane's motivation is that Tori's spending the holidays with X-Pac,

01:04:27thanks in part to D-Generation X.

01:04:29Well, thanks solely to DX.

01:04:31As Kane now hits the turnbuckle and Mr. Ash reverses the table.

01:04:35Uh-oh, look at this.

01:04:37Triple H and Road Dog.

01:04:39No.

01:04:41Triple H and Road Dog looking on.

01:04:44A lot at stake for them as well.

01:04:46Triple H will be suspended inside a personal cell above the ring tonight.

01:04:50What do you think X-Pac and Tori are doing right at this minute?

01:04:53Big poop by Kane.

01:04:56That's the holidays.

01:04:57He'll probably get her in the Christmas spirit and then they'll settle down for

01:05:01a long winner's nap.

01:05:02And look out now.

01:05:03BA Billy Gunn about to stumble in to the big hand of Kane.

01:05:08And look at this now.

01:05:10Show Slayer.

01:05:12Merry Christmas, Mr. Ash.

01:05:14Hooks the leg.

01:05:15It's over.

01:05:16Kane picks up a win over BA Billy Gunn in another matchup set up by Stephanie.

01:05:22Kane.

01:05:23Well, a little bit of revenge and maybe satisfaction, but not much for Kane.

01:05:29Well, Kane, Stephanie promised Kane a matchup on Raw Monday against X-Pac.

01:05:35That'll be live in Greensboro.

01:05:37And if I'm BA Billy Gunn, he better start hightailing it because Kane's not through yet.

01:05:42No.

01:05:44No.

01:05:45All that pent up frustration, the emotional.

01:05:48My.

01:05:49Went for the tombstone.

01:05:50BA Billy Gunn counted and Billy Gunn now heading out through the crowd and Kane is in pursuit.

01:05:57Come on, help.

01:05:58Uh-oh, King.

01:05:59King, they're going to help Billy Gunn.

01:06:01Get him.

01:06:02Wait a minute.

01:06:03What are you doing?

01:06:05Get him.

01:06:06Get him.

01:06:07Get him.

01:06:08Get him.

01:06:09Get him.

01:06:10Get him.

01:06:11Get him.

01:06:12The cops got Triple H.

01:06:13Triple H is under house arrest, set up by his wife Stephanie.

01:06:18And Kane taking it out on Billy Gunn.

01:06:21I'll tell you, Stephanie's living up through her promises, King.

01:06:24Stephanie's stepping up.

01:06:25Where are they going now?

01:06:27Kane and BA Billy Gunn battling back through the crowd.

01:06:34And Kane trying to send a message, make an example of Mr. S here on SmackDown.

01:06:39I can't believe that Kane has got such evil intentions here in the holidays.

01:06:42Evil intentions?

01:06:43Yes.

01:06:44Can you blame him?

01:06:45His girlfriend's being forced to get, wait a minute.

01:06:47Wait a minute, wait a minute, hold it.

01:06:48I know where she is.

01:06:49I know where Tori is.

01:06:50I know where she is.

01:06:51I know where she is.

01:06:52I know where she is.

01:06:53I know where she is.

01:06:54I know where she is.

01:06:55She's on the airport.

01:06:56The Marriott are down.

01:06:57Road Dogg just telling Kane where Tori was.

01:07:01Kane, Kane's going after Tori.

01:07:03He gave a big fuck.

01:07:05Well, we're back on SmackDown and King on Monday Night on Raw.

01:07:08Stephanie McMahon and Triple H forced Moolah and Mae Young into a triple threat

01:07:12match against the Dudley Boys and Acolyse.

01:07:14As Mark Henry looked on, the Dudley Boys showed no mercy.

01:07:17No, it was rest home wrestling at its best.

01:07:20I loved it.

01:07:21The Dudley Boys went right after Mae and Moolah.

01:07:23It was terrific.

01:07:25Man.

01:07:26But then Mark Henry showed up.

01:07:28Sexual Chocolate taking out his frustrations for his girlfriend, Mae Young.

01:07:32Oh.

01:07:33On the Dudley Boys.

01:07:34And it's revenge time tonight on SmackDown for Sexual Chocolate.

01:07:39Yeah.

01:07:41I'm here for you.

01:07:46And check this out, gang.

01:07:48Mark Henry accompanied by Moolah and Mae Young.

01:07:52Boy, boy.

01:07:53Boy, boy.

01:07:54The following contest is for one fall, making his way to the ranks and

01:07:58being accompanied by the fabulous boy Mae Young from Sillsby, Texas,

01:08:03weighing in at 380 pounds.

01:08:06Sexual Chocolate, Mark Henry.

01:08:10I'll tell you something.

01:08:11This is appropriate here at Christmas time because Mae and Moolah's first teachers

01:08:14were the three wives, man.

01:08:16I'm telling you.

01:08:17I saw her yearbook.

01:08:18Mary and Johnson were both as cute as couple.

01:08:21So Sexual Chocolate, Mark Henry set for action.

01:08:26You know, this is a strange and bizarre relationship, Jane.

01:08:29But you have to admit, over the past couple of weeks, Mark Henry has been extremely focused

01:08:33on business.

01:08:34Wait a minute.

01:08:35He's a one woman man.

01:08:36Did you say this is a strange relationship?

01:08:38Now, y'all don't know, but my baby loves surprises.

01:08:42So, let me get right down to it.

01:08:48Uh-oh.

01:08:49I thought up a little poem, and I thought I'd read it to you.

01:08:56He is smitten.

01:08:58He's in love.

01:08:59We've played once or twice, which is truly nice.

01:09:04I'm so happy to have you in my life.

01:09:09All the hot nights that we've spent since our first date makes me so proud to be

01:09:17in my home stage.

01:09:19I think she got visited by the Wrinkle Fairy.

01:09:21Whoa!

01:09:22Well, Mark Henry, of course, from Texas with a little Christmas hug for his Honey

01:09:28May.

01:09:33On 11's about to start.

01:09:35And Hitsoponan.

01:09:36Hey!

01:09:40I'm begging you.

01:09:42Shut your mouth, you big idiot.

01:09:46Uh-oh.

01:09:48I think I'm gonna throw up all over myself.

01:09:52Mark Henry, you're nothing but a big, dumb Olympic failure.

01:10:03And you're a disgrace to this state.

01:10:10You know, I heard a cradle robbing, but Mark Henry's almost a cemetery robber.

01:10:14You're very young, you're old, you're wrinkly, and you smell like a bedpan at an old folks' home.

01:10:23Whew!

01:10:24That's true.

01:10:25And that's bad.

01:10:26That ain't even right.

01:10:27Thanks.

01:10:28I knew I smelled something over here, Michael.

01:10:30As far as you people are concerned, I've never seen so many white trash, inbred, tobacco chewing, pickup truck driving losers in my life.

01:10:47Well.

01:10:49He's making plenty of friends in Dallas.

01:10:51And you're right, you're right.

01:10:55And you know what else?

01:10:57Your football team sucks.

01:11:00My right hand from Mark Henry, and sexual talk that's going to work on Bubba Ray Dudley.

01:11:07Moore and Mae Young in their Christmas best looking out at ringside.

01:11:11And here comes Mark Henry for the love of his girlfriend, Mae Young.

01:11:14Well, I think Mae is actually chewing some of that tobacco Bubba Ray was talking about.

01:11:18And Devon from behind now, and there's Bubba Ray with a right hand to the near 400 pounder.

01:11:23Tremendous suplex, dropping Mark Henry on the back of his head.

01:11:26You're not kidding.

01:11:27I was wondering how many paper bags Mark Henry goes through on one of those hot weekends with Mae.

01:11:32Well Mae Young's concerned about sexual chocolate.

01:11:34You know she's definitely a two bagger.

01:11:36You know, will you ever admit that maybe perhaps they enjoy being with each other?

01:11:40What are you laughing at?

01:11:43I can't even, I can't even think about it.

01:11:46Bubba Ray backing Mark Henry into the corner.

01:11:48Bad visual.

01:11:49It may be a bad visual coming up next for Triple H.

01:11:54That makes sugar plums dance in my head and all that sort of stuff, Michael.

01:11:57Uh-oh.

01:11:58Triple H will be suspended in a cell above the ring as Mankind takes on the Big Show next

01:12:03with a WWE title on the line.

01:12:05And sexual chocolate now with big right hands to Bubba Ray Dudley.

01:12:09Look at Mae.

01:12:10I was gonna bring her a fruitcake out here for Christmas.

01:12:13Then I remember she's a test pilot.

01:12:15Big elbow by Bubba Ray to the face of Mark Henry.

01:12:19Second rope now.

01:12:20Watch yourself sexual chocolate.

01:12:22Mark Henry turns into a chest as a clothesline with the big trees off his feet.

01:12:26As D-Von, speaking of D-Von, up on the top rope now.

01:12:29D-Von's not involved in this matchup.

01:12:31And look out.

01:12:32Look at, look at.

01:12:33Mae Young on the apron.

01:12:34Mae Young, Mae Young.

01:12:35She's staggering.

01:12:38She's stumbling.

01:12:39Mae Young coming in the aid of her boyfriend, Mark Henry.

01:12:42Look at this.

01:12:43And Mae Young and Moolah are relentless.

01:12:45Don't pull those wigs off.

01:12:47And Mark Henry now takes advantage.

01:12:49Bubba rips into the corner.

01:12:51And look at this strike.

01:12:52Mark Henry face first goes Bubba Ray.

01:12:55Let him go, Mae.

01:12:56And the splash by sexual chocolate.

01:12:59Hook of the leg.

01:13:00It's over.

01:13:01Get the assist to Moolah and Mae.

01:13:04Mark Henry tucks up one for his girlfriend.

01:13:07Here is your sexual chocolate, Mark Henry.

01:13:11I was coming to pull that blue.

01:13:13Well, they don't even remember what the original hair color was.

01:13:17You know, Kang love does weird things to people.

01:13:20And for Mark Henry.

01:13:21So does Father Tank.

01:13:22It's caused him to be extremely focused.

01:13:25Mae Young has got Mark smitten.

01:13:28Uh-oh.

01:13:29This is not gonna be easy, okay?

01:13:30Hunter does not wanna get in that cell.

01:13:31You have to make him go, okay?

01:13:33Let's do it.

01:13:34Let's go.

01:13:35Let's go.

01:13:36It's time.

01:13:39I'm not going anywhere.

01:13:41Step, I'm not going.

01:13:42Oh, I think you are.

01:13:43There better be more than two of you.

01:13:44When we get out of here.

01:13:45You are.

01:13:46There you go.

01:13:48I'm not going anywhere.

01:13:49Yes, you are.

01:13:50Come on.

01:13:52Come on.

01:13:53Mankind takes on the Big Show for the title.

01:13:56Triple H in a cell above the ring.

01:13:58Next.

01:14:02And now the WWF Boot of the Week brought to you by Luggs.

01:14:06Tough boots built for the city.

01:14:08That's Luggs.

01:14:09That was the WWF Boot of the Week brought to you by Luggs.

01:14:10Boots and jeans with attitude.

01:14:11Luggs decide and conquer.

01:14:15One cell.

01:14:16Is this on?

01:14:17All right, folks.

01:14:18There's the personal cell.

01:14:19Which Triple H will be placed in tonight.

01:14:21It will be suspended 15 feet above the ring.

01:14:23The ring.

01:14:24Let's go.

01:14:25I'm not going anywhere.

01:14:26All right, let's go.

01:14:27Let's go.

01:14:28That was the WWF Boot of the Week brought to you by Luggs.

01:14:31Boots and jeans with attitude.

01:14:33Luggs decide and conquer.

01:14:36One cell.

01:14:38Is this on?

01:14:40All right, folks.

01:14:41There's the personal cell which Triple H will be placed in tonight.

01:14:46It will be suspended 15 feet above the ring for the WWF Championship match

01:14:51between the Big Show and Mankind.

01:14:55Somehow, Michael, I didn't think it would come to this.

01:14:58I thought that maybe Triple H and Stephanie would be able to work out the difference.

01:15:03Taking away the way Stephanie McMahon and Huxley and Triple H.

01:15:09Well, Stephanie's husband's been manhandled by that armed security.

01:15:14He's dragging him out here.

01:15:15Taking him down to the ring.

01:15:16And Stephanie's gonna personally see to it that Triple H is put in that cage so

01:15:21he cannot interfere in this matchup between Mankind and the Big Show.

01:15:26He just saw King in the Lux Food of the Week.

01:15:29Triple H's interference in that matchup he set up between Mankind and Santa Claus.

01:15:34I know it.

01:15:35Look at this.

01:15:37I can't believe it.

01:15:39Triple H is fighting tooth and nail.

01:15:44But so far tonight, King, all throughout the evening.

01:15:47Stephanie McMahon has done what she thought she was gonna do.

01:15:49Get away, get away, don't get in there, Hunter.

01:15:51I'm telling you, that's no place to be.

01:15:53She's putting her husband in that personal cell.

01:15:56And being locked by the security.

01:15:59And look at this, King.

01:16:02Referee Timmy White with a steel chain being locked to the door with Triple H inside.

01:16:10Why do women always have to have their way?

01:16:12Well, Triple H will be raised above the ring.

01:16:19And now coming to the stage, King, the invitees on their way down here.

01:16:26Tess, Edge, Christian, and Jeff Hardy.

01:16:29Tess, Edge, Christian, and Jeff Hardy.

01:16:36Looks like we're missing Matt Hardy.

01:16:38Yeah, Matt Hardy finds himself in the hospital with a broken nose, broken cheekbone.

01:16:42Thanks to the now defunct McMahon-Helmsley era.

01:16:46That happened on Raw Monday night.

01:16:48Uh-oh.

01:16:49I'll tell you one thing, Michael.

01:16:53He's now from Texas.

01:16:55They don't roll any bigger anywhere than seven foot two, 500 pounds.

01:16:59A big show.

01:17:01The three touches, the four, four, one ball.

01:17:05And it is one of one wrestling for the AC Champions.

01:17:09Speaking of his weight loss, he weighs more than 500 pounds.

01:17:13He is the World Wrestling Federation Champion, The Big Show.

01:17:19The Big Show, Maki, Triple H inside that cell.

01:17:23It's the show in mankind coming up.

01:17:26And folks, 1-800-COLLECT presents the Royal Rumble 2000.

01:17:301-800-COLLECT, easy way to say.

01:17:32The Royal Rumble will be live January 23rd on pay-per-view from the sold out

01:17:36Madison Square Garden in New York City.

01:17:39And you'll never know.

01:17:43I'll tell you something, this has got to be humiliating for Triple H.

01:17:49And a challenger, he weighs in at 287 pounds.

01:17:55Mankind.

01:17:57What a Christmas gift for Mankind as he tries to become a four-time WWF Champion.

01:18:06And you know how Mick Foley, Mankind, likes the holidays, how he loves Christmas,

01:18:11and what a Christmas gift it would be if he could win the title tonight for the Big Show.

01:18:16I can imagine the Mankind household.

01:18:19All those stupid little sockos hung by the chimney with care.

01:18:23And that WWE title belt on his mantle.

01:18:26That would be a perfect Christmas for that idiot.

01:18:29Well, King on Raw, Monday Night Mankind coming to JR's aid,

01:18:32only to be slapped in the face by Stephanie McMahon Helmsley.

01:18:36Look out, look out.

01:18:37And Triple H now.

01:18:39He's been, he's been raised into the air.

01:18:4415 feet above the ring to ensure there will be no interference from Triple H tonight.

01:18:50I don't think he likes heights, Michael.

01:18:52And being sent up to the stage, Edge, Christian, Jeff Hardy, and Test,

01:18:57the invitees to watch this matchup.

01:18:59And joining us now, what a surprise, here at ringside, Stephanie McMahon Helmsley.

01:19:05Stephanie, thank you for joining us.

01:19:06Well, thank you, Michael.

01:19:07And I have to admit, I mean, I admire what you've done so far tonight.

01:19:10All these matches you've set up.

01:19:12That's great, I care that you admire.

01:19:14Well, anyhow, is Stephanie waving to Triple H,

01:19:18who's suspended in that cell above the ring.

01:19:21There is no allegiance between Hunter and I Am Business.

01:19:24It's the McMahon era, not the McMahon-Helmsley era.

01:19:27As showing Mankind set to go to work now for the title.

01:19:29Stephanie, what did you mean earlier on when you said that you were gonna allow

01:19:32these invitees, Edge, Jeff Hardy, Test, and Christian to pick up the scraps of Triple H?

01:19:38Who's ever the champion after this match, it doesn't matter if there's anything left.

01:19:42They're gonna get their hands on Triple H?

01:19:44They're gonna get their hands on Triple H, and then the rest of these guys can pick up the scraps.

01:19:49You're actually gonna throw your husband to the wolves here tonight.

01:19:52It appears that way.

01:19:53But, I mean, do you have any compassion?

01:19:55Look at him, he's screaming for help.

01:19:57That's a long way up there, Stephanie.

01:19:59Sure is.

01:20:00And look at this now.

01:20:0115 feet.

01:20:02Look out, look out!

01:20:03Sidewalk slammed by the champion, the Big Show on Mankind.

01:20:06Hooks the leg, could have a winner here, and a kick out after two.

01:20:09What a golden opportunity for Mankind as the invitees, as Stephanie called them, looked on.

01:20:15Well, you know, Hunter happens to be afraid of heights, too.

01:20:18I know it.

01:20:19That's, he could get a nosebleed up there.

01:20:21Big Show misses right hand.

01:20:23Mankind now goes to the leg, trying to knock this big Sequoia off his feet.

01:20:27Right hand again.

01:20:28In Hunter's case, a nosebleed could be terminal.

01:20:30And look out, headbutt by Mankind.

01:20:33Stephanie, would you care to explain what's happened between you and Triple H

01:20:38over the past few days since Raw Monday night?

01:20:40Would I care to explain, no.

01:20:41Look at this.

01:20:42Watch it.

01:20:43Okay, well Big Show knocked out of the ring by Mankind, right out here in front of us.

01:20:47WWF title is on the line.

01:20:49This match set up by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

01:20:52And let me just tell you something, Michael.

01:20:54You have no right to ask me about my personal business, okay?

01:20:57I'm sorry.

01:20:58And Mankind now going to work on the Big Show.

01:21:01It was Mankind who, when SmackDown went on the air, had threatened a mutiny.

01:21:05And look out, Big Show tossing Mankind's spine into that steel post.

01:21:11Mankind had threatened a mutiny here earlier on tonight as we went on the air.

01:21:16Michael Cole, there is gonna be no mutiny, okay?

01:21:20You can stop talking about a mutiny.

01:21:21Look at it.

01:21:22My God.

01:21:23I'm in control of this company.

01:21:24This is my company.

01:21:26Did you see that crash, that chair crash across Mick Foley's back?

01:21:31How does he take that?

01:21:32The invitees look on.

01:21:35Big Show battles Mankind for the title.

01:21:37Triple H suspended 15 feet above this ring inside a steel cell.

01:21:42I know you said Mick Foley deserves this, but Stephanie, do you have any preference?

01:21:46Do you care which one of these guys get their hand on Triple H after this match?

01:21:51I think both of them probably want to.

01:21:54Big Show with a headbutt to Mankind.

01:21:57Stephanie McMahon helps me promise to show interference in any of this matchup tonight.

01:22:02We haven't seen any.

01:22:03Have you seen any?

01:22:04None.

01:22:05Can you tell us, I mean, is this what's gonna happen when this match is over and

01:22:09the winner's declared?

01:22:10That cage is gonna be lowered down and whoever's won gets to have their way with Triple H.

01:22:14It doesn't even matter who wins.

01:22:16They both get their hands on Winter.

01:22:18And then so do the invitees.

01:22:20Everybody at once.

01:22:21Everybody.

01:22:22That's an assassination, an execution.

01:22:24Look at him pleading.

01:22:25Well, I guess.

01:22:26He does look kind of helpless up there.

01:22:28Look at this now, Mankind biting the nose of the Big Show.

01:22:31The Big Show had a bear hug again, slams Mankind into the center of the mat.

01:22:36That back again that was just slammed into that steel post.

01:22:39The Big Show working on the small of the back of Mankind, who slowly tries to roll out of the ring to catch a breath.

01:22:46Look at that shot.

01:22:47That, folks, you're looking from the inside of that personal cell that Triple H has been locked in.

01:22:54We're looking at a dead man hanging right there.

01:22:56You're telling me, Stephanie, that all of these guys are gonna get their hands on Triple H with this?

01:23:00When this is over?

01:23:01How many times do I have to say again?

01:23:02Look out, Kang.

01:23:03I just can't believe it.

01:23:04Look at this.

01:23:05Steel chair meets steel steps, and the show is down.

01:23:08My.

01:23:10Show quickly back up, takes a chair to the midsection.

01:23:13Look out here.

01:23:14What's Mankind doing?

01:23:15He's on the table here with a steel chair.

01:23:19Man.

01:23:21The steel chair over the head of Big Show.

01:23:25The WWF titles on the line.

01:23:27I think we're fixing to have a new champion, Michael.

01:23:29What an impact.

01:23:30Chair meets skull.

01:23:31I mean, that's bad what just happened to the Big Show, but I'm really concerned about what's gonna happen to Triple H.

01:23:37Listen, King, Hunter understands that business is business and personal is personal.

01:23:42They're two completely separate things.

01:23:44But there might not be a personal Hunter left after he gets through with your business.

01:23:48And look at this, Mankind with a sleeper on the Big Show.

01:23:50The title's on the line.

01:23:52Look at Hunter, he's pleading with you, Stephanie.

01:23:55Yeah, I see him.

01:23:57The sleeper's still on the Big Show, the arms down, King.

01:24:00This could be it.

01:24:02Mankind has it locked into the Big Show.

01:24:05Uh-oh.

01:24:06And the Big Show keeps the arm up.

01:24:08There's some life left there.

01:24:09The champion battling everything he's got.

01:24:12Look at this.

01:24:13500 pounds crashing into Mankind and the back of Mankind could be crushed.

01:24:21That did it, I think.

01:24:22What do you think, Stephanie?

01:24:23You know, I don't even think these guys are gonna be able to do anything to Triple H.

01:24:27Yeah, but you still got those invitees.

01:24:29That's right.

01:24:30Staring a hole in Triple H back there.

01:24:32That's right.

01:24:33They can't wait.

01:24:34So is calling for it.

01:24:36Mankind, a valiant warrior struggling to his feet.

01:24:40A to the rope.

01:24:42And here he comes.

01:24:43And Mankind with a low blow.

01:24:45And Mankind clasps the champion with a DDT.

01:24:50Do we have a new champion?

01:24:51New champion.

01:24:52Two, almost three.

01:24:53And Show kicked out.

01:24:55Triple H doesn't care about that.

01:24:57He just, he just thought that Tanger is going to be lower.

01:24:59And look at this.

01:25:00King, it's Socko time.

01:25:02It's Mr. Socko time.

01:25:03We can crown a new champ right here on SmackDown.

01:25:06I thought that stupid sock was hanging by the chimney with Kevin.

01:25:09It's here.

01:25:10And he's got it locked in.

01:25:12The Man of a Claw on the Big Show, courtesy of Socko.

01:25:16No, look at him.

01:25:18The top rope.

01:25:19Mankind as well.

01:25:20And both men down outside the ring.

01:25:23WWE title on the line.

01:25:24Hey.

01:25:25Wait a minute.

01:25:26Hey, wait.

01:25:27The cage is being lowered.

01:25:28The cell's being lowered.

01:25:29Stephanie, what's going on?

01:25:31I don't know.

01:25:32What's going on?

01:25:33I don't know.

01:25:34The invitees are coming down here.

01:25:35What's happening?

01:25:36I sure hope they're coming.

01:25:37Wait a minute.

01:25:38King, wait a minute.

01:25:39From behind.

01:25:40Stephanie, what's going on?

01:25:41Prince Albert.

01:25:42Stephanie, what's going on?

01:25:43Where's Stephanie going?

01:25:44Big Show.

01:25:45Test Edge, Christian, all attacked.

01:25:47Triple H has got a key.

01:25:50King Stephanie better get the hell out of there.

01:25:53God knows what Triple H is capable of if he gets out of that cell.

01:25:57The invitees, Stephanie trying to stop Triple H from getting out of that cell.

01:26:02Stephanie realizes she could be in danger, King, if Triple H gets out of that cell.

01:26:07What?

01:26:08What is going on?

01:26:09Stephanie struggling, trying to keep Triple H inside.

01:26:12No, it's undone.

01:26:13He's out.

01:26:14He's out.

01:26:15He's out.

01:26:16And Triple H is out, King.

01:26:18And look, he wanted to destroy Stephanie, but Mankind was in there.

01:26:22And look at this coward using Stephanie as a shield.

01:26:25And Mankind telling Triple H to get Stephanie out of there.

01:26:29Wait a minute.

01:26:30Stephanie just kicked Mankind.

01:26:32She's frightened.

01:26:33She's frightened.

01:26:34She's distracted Mankind from her foe.

01:26:37She's scared in there.

01:26:38Triple H with the chain of the wrap.

01:26:42Chain of the skull of Mankind.

01:26:45What is happening here again?

01:26:47Wait a minute.

01:26:48King, here come the Outlaws.

01:26:50Billy Gunn and Road Dogg.

01:26:52They're all over the Big Show out here.

01:26:54The Vulture's picking apart the Big Show.

01:26:56And you know, King, who the hell knows what Triple H is capable of?

01:27:00He was under house arrest for two hours tonight.

01:27:05No.

01:27:07That steel chain into the forehead of Mankind.

01:27:10It's Stephanie.

01:27:13Stephanie's in shock.
