00:00Well, to say the least, no love lost between Chris Benoit and
00:04his Radical brothers.
00:05And we were just informed, folks, during the commercial break that Benoit has
00:08challenged each Radical to separate one-on-one matches.
00:12Benoit is gonna run the gauntlet tonight.
00:15Match, thinking it's way to the ring from Edmonton,
00:18Alberta, weighing in at 225 pounds, Chris Benoit.
00:23And folks, go to www.com for details on how you can win free tickets
00:29to WrestleMania in a Lip Biscuit concert.
00:32I'll tell you, I got chocolate starfish and a hot dog go to the water,
00:35Lip Biscuit CD, and it's out of this world.
00:37Imagine free WrestleMania tickets in a Lip Biscuit concert.
00:40Oh, God, I got that same CD.
00:42It's the bomb.
00:43But look, speaking of a bomb, a gauntlet match.
00:46I mean, I don't know if I agree with Benoit's decision here.
00:50I mean, but you got to admire his guts.
00:52He's going against three top WWF superstars.
00:54The Boston match, weighing in at 241 pounds, Perry Saturn.
01:01The rules of the gauntlet match are simple.
01:03Benoit's gonna go one-on-one with each member of the Radicals,
01:06and Perry Saturn will try to draw first blood with Benoit.
01:10As a matter of fact, Colt, you know, who said there's love lost?
01:13I mean, they're just trying to settle like it's a little family dispute or something.
01:16Well, Chris Benoit has to defeat Perry Saturn and get to the next member of the Radicals,
01:20and look at Saturn taking it to the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit.
01:25Perry's working out Benoit.
01:27I mean, I don't understand this, I mean, Benoit, he's in trouble right now.
01:33And I never thought I'd say that, that the Rabid Wolverine's in trouble.
01:36But I mean, look at that.
01:37But let's face it, nobody knows Chris Benoit better than Perry Saturn,
01:41Eddie Guerrero, and Di Malenko.
01:42Well, you make a good point, but Chris Benoit knows that too.
01:45I mean, I'll tell you, Benoit tells me he just doesn't trust Eddie Guerrero.
01:49He thinks Eddie Guerrero and the rest of the Radicals, for that matter,
01:52have ulterior motives that are trying to derail his career as Benoit goes to work on Saturn.
01:58I'm sure they'll work through their problems tonight.
01:59They'll probably have them right here on SmackDown.
02:01Trying to get it out of their system, if nothing else.
02:03And look at this, Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn,
02:06turning his belly-to-belly by Perry Saturn.
02:09Beautiful overhead, belly-to-belly.
02:10Perry got his hips right under Benoit.
02:12Bam, popping right over, nice throw.
02:14I'll tell you about ulterior motives.
02:15What are the ulterior motives of Mr. McMahon?
02:18I can't believe that, well, wait a minute.
02:20Here's the cover by Saturn, hook of the leg, got him.
02:22No, Benoit gets the shoulder up.
02:24I can't believe that Mr. McMahon said that Trish Stratus and his wife,
02:28Linda, are on their way to the MCI Center here for SmackDown.
02:32Cover again by Saturn, hook of the leg, and a kick out.
02:34I thought Linda was in like a sanitarium, more like zombied out, like all medicated.
02:38What is she doing out in public?
02:39What is she doing here?
02:40I saw Linda McMahon on Valentine's Day at that sanitarium.
02:43She's over-medicated.
02:45Of course, suffering from a nervous breakdown back in December, as Mary Saturn gives a shot
02:49to Chris Benoit.
02:50I can only imagine what Mr. McMahon has played for his wife here tonight,
02:54in the public humiliation of Trish Stratus over the past couple of weeks.
02:59It's all in the interest of fairness, though, Michael Cole's law.
03:01It's all in the interest of fairness.
03:03Yeah, give me a break, interest of fairness.
03:05This isn't quite fair either.
03:06Yeah, Benoit running the gauntlet against the radicals.
03:10Remind all our WWF fans in Knoxville, Tennessee, Waco, Texas.
03:14Tickets on sale this Saturday for WWF live action.
03:18And before he does his big, huge super, super, super duper plaques.
03:21Oh, man.
03:22Let me check out Perry Saturn's left cheek.
03:24He's bleeding because he's got like 15 stitches in his face.
03:28He don't care.
03:28He just licks it up and sucks it up and goes.
03:31You gotta love Saturn.
03:32Well, Chris Benoit in all kinds of trouble.
03:33He may not make it to the next member of the radicals as Perry Saturn is going for the kill
03:38up on the top rope.
03:39And here he comes, Airborne with the elbow.
03:43Benoit with a wherewithal to move out of the way.
03:45Well, I don't think Benoit would have made it much further than the gauntlet
03:48if Saturn would have connected with that big elbow off the top.
03:51Well, you're right, Taz.
03:52The gauntlet continues as long as Benoit's winning.
03:54If he loses, he goes, oh, look at that.
03:56Leg drag.
03:57Take down by Chris Benoit.
03:59And Saturn's in trouble.
04:01Hell of a leg drag.
04:01Wow, what a snap super.
04:03I mean, Benoit's quick.
04:05I mean, he's fast.
04:05He's got quick hips, you know, quick eyes, quick hands.
04:08Look at his neck.
04:10Suplex by Chris Benoit, the rabid Wolverine says that's it.
04:13And he's gonna climb to the top rope as Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero look on.
04:17We saw this maneuver Monday night.
04:19Here comes Benoit, top rope, holding back to the sternum of Perry Saturn.
04:23Well, I guess if he can cover this to be it.
04:25Hook of the leg.
04:26He's got him.
04:27There's two new Perry Saturn somehow got the shoulder up.
04:30Benoit thought it was three.
04:31That's how tough Saturn is, bleeding from his face.
04:34Just got a big flat head put up the top by Benoit.
04:37She's kicking out, still ready to go.
04:38Been a wild night on SmackDown already.
04:40Debra says she's gonna continue to manage The Rock.
04:43Mr. McMahon said Trish and his wife Linda on their way to the arena.
04:47Into the knockdown by Benoit.
04:48I can't believe that Trish is coming here with Linda McMahon.
04:51Look at Terry.
04:52Oh boy.
04:53Terry grabbing the leg of Chris Benoit.
04:55Terry's in trouble, and Perry running into Terry.
04:57And look at Benoit, cross face.
05:00Benoit with a cross face knocked in, and Perry Saturn taps out.
05:04Benoit, ever the opportunist, takes advantage.
05:07And here comes Malenko.
05:10There's nothing else Saturn could have done.
05:11You gotta tap out and rip his shoulder and his elbow right out of the socket.
05:15Nothing could do.
05:15Dean Malenko next.
05:17The gauntlet continues as long as Chris Benoit's winning.
05:21But now it's a worn down Chris Benoit and a fresh light heavyweight champion, Dean Malenko.
05:26Good point, Coleslaw.
05:27Now we're gonna see the cardiovascular capability of the rabid Wolverine.
05:33Yeah, we're gonna have to see the cardiovascular capability of The Rock here tonight.
05:37Not one, but two opponents.
05:39A handicap match set up by Mr. McMahon.
05:41The Rock versus Rikishi and Hakun.
05:43We still have no idea why that match was signed.
05:47And you know what?
05:48I mean, you seen Benoit, he went for the Inseguro and he missed it.
05:51And Malenko, you know, focusing on the kidneys of Benoit.
05:54That's smart.
05:55When a guy's tired in there and you take out his kidneys, he went out of gas.
05:59How about the low blow as well as Chris Benoit went for the German suplex.
06:02Got it anyway.
06:03Malenko kicks out after one.
06:05Benoit going for the German suplex again as Malenko tries to battle his way out.
06:09He didn't get all that in the first one.
06:10I don't know what happened.
06:11He might have lost his foot.
06:11He's probably from a little fatigue.
06:13Yeah, I'm sure he's very fatigued.
06:14He just went into battle with Terry Saturn.
06:17Oh, my God.
06:17Look at this guy going for the top.
06:19And Chris Benoit battling with everything he has.
06:22Collab King.
06:23The rabid Wolverine, a gutsy individual to challenge three men here tonight.
06:28You got to give it to Saturn.
06:29You know, he came up short against a schoolboy.
06:31Look at this.
06:31He's got him.
06:32Malenko's got him.
06:33No, Benoit rolls out.
06:34You know, you got to give it to Saturn.
06:36Came up short against Benoit and he's out here to support his brother, Malenko.
06:40He's got him.
06:42Benoit's got him.
06:42He's got him.
06:43Benoit has defeated Dean Malenko.
06:45And Eddie Guerrero is next in the gauntlet match.
06:48But how much does Chris Benoit have left?
06:51Benoit's one down call.
06:53And here comes Latino heat, baby.
06:55A very unconfident look, perhaps, Freddy Guerrero,
07:00as he stares down at Chris Benoit.
07:02I don't think Guerrero believed that Benoit would get this far.
07:06I knew Guerrero.
07:07You know, he's confident.
07:08He don't sweat, Benoit.
07:09He don't sweat if he was special, but he don't sweat.
07:11And this is where it all started between these two.
07:14Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero.
07:16The rivalry that is apparently splitting apart the radicals.
07:20Dean Malenko and Barry Saturn from behind.
07:22And what the hell is this?
07:24It's a muggy.
07:25The radicals are mugging Chris Benoit.
07:27This isn't fair.
07:28Well, wait, but it's okay.
07:29I guess it's legal.
07:30It's in between the next match.
07:31It's not okay.
07:32Whether it's legal or not, this isn't okay at all.
07:35These men are supposedly best friends.
07:38I think Saturn just shattered Benoit Sternum with that knee off the top.
07:44Yeah, look at Eddie Guerrero, the buzzer, the vulture.
07:47Gonna take advantage of the fallen Chris Benoit.
07:50And there's Guerrero with that super awesome Chris Benoit.
07:54I don't like the Wolverine's chances right now, Paul.
07:59If he hits, if he's going, and if he hits this, if he's over the front splash,
08:04front splash, bang!
08:05He got it, Eddie Guerrero with the front splash, hook of the leg to Benoit,
08:08and he got it.
08:09And of course Eddie Guerrero was gonna win.
08:11Benoit was just assaulted by two people, Malenko and Saturn.
08:15Well, I guess Guerrero just proved Benoit wrong.
08:21Now, Chris Benoit with a gutsy challenge, he got new Saturn, Malenko,
08:26but only after the street mugging by the Radicals,
08:29did Eddie Guerrero pick up the victory over the Rabid Wolverine.
08:33Well, you know, come to think of it, Benoit deserves to be in the Radicals anyway.
08:37I mean, it's free, then, and Terry, that's cool.
08:39Yeah, that's cool, all right, real cool what the Radicals did to Chris Benoit.
08:44The Rabid Wolverine!
