00:00And we're going to get the answer to the question right now.
00:02Taz, will you accept the challenge of Kurt Angle here tonight?
00:06Somebody better remind Kurt Angle that when he was undefeated at the Royal Rumble,
00:11he got choked out.
00:13By who?
00:14Me.
00:16Somebody better remind Kurt Angle that there's a guy around here that he never beat.
00:21And who's that guy?
00:23Me.
00:23And somebody better tell Angle that Stone Cold Steve Austin is talking.
00:31And who's he talking to?
00:32Me.
00:34Angle, I accept your challenge tonight.
00:38And I will take you out on behalf of the Texas Rattlesnake.
00:43And Angle, you will become just another victim.
00:46Because I'm Taz, the guy handpicked by Austin.
00:52Beat me if you can, Angle.
00:57Survive if I let you.
01:00On pay-per-view.
01:14Well, Taz accepted the challenge.
01:17Wait a minute.
01:19The Dudley boys.
01:21The Lions members, what's this all about?
01:23The Lions going there for the Lord.
01:26The Lord comes over Taz.
01:27Taz.
01:27The Dudley boys, who will beat with Taz in a six-man tag team match this Sunday at Summer
01:40Clam against the ATA in spite.
01:43Also, Rob Van Dam and Jeff Harding to meet with a hardcore title in a ladder match on pay-per-view.
01:49A hardcore ladder match.
01:50Red Storm, a member of the Alliance, defend the Intercontinental title against Edge.
01:56And Edge Pocket Tajiri will unify the champion.
01:59We're clear for the Prince of England to win.
02:01And I'm going to go to the top of Kurt Angle.
02:05Will Kurt Angle be the next WWF champion at SummerSlam this Sunday?
02:16Kurt Angle to meet Stone Cold for the WWF title.
02:20Come on.
02:21He goes one-on-one with Taz.
02:24Hey, look at this.
02:26The WWF locker room showed its unity, showed its solidarity.
02:32Is this necessary?
02:33Of course it's necessary.
02:35Now came out here with a bunch of Alliance members.
02:38The WWF just retaliated.
02:44We are live on SmackDown.
02:47And this is a power take.
02:49An explosive situation.
02:51Defundable elements in place.
02:53And the woman Taz is set to go one-on-one.
02:58And look on the stage.
03:00Ladies and gentlemen, the WWF champion, Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
03:08Oh, look out from behind, and he's distracted by Austin.
03:11And Taz with the right hand, and here comes Kurt Angle.
03:14Kurt Angle, Sunday, with the WWF hopes on his shoulder,
03:18trying to bring the WWF title back, where it belongs,
03:22to the World Wrestling Federation, when he meets Stone Cold.
03:25Taz and Angle up over the top books and outside the ring.
03:30Keep in mind, there you see the Alliance members of the company Taz to ringside.
03:34Taz, 240-and-half, from the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, New York.
03:39And there he is, your WWF champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
03:43Yeah, it was a trap set earlier tonight by Stone Cold and Taz.
03:47And they were all over Kurt Angle.
03:49And I rate Angle made this challenge.
03:51But how wise was it for Angle to accept this challenge here tonight?
03:55You heard what Stone Cold said he was going to do to Angle at SummerSlam.
04:01The big right hand by Kurt Angle to Taz.
04:03The crowd coming to its feet live in Salt Lake City.
04:06And Stone Cold is a man of his world.
04:08Look to the face to Taz.
04:10Here comes Kurt Angle.
04:10Look out, Taz with a belly-to-belly to Kurt Angle.
04:14An overhead belly-to-belly.
04:15And look how proud Stone Cold is of Taz.
04:19Well, Austin may be a man of his word, but Kurt Angle a man of his word as well.
04:22Kurt Angle's going to bring the WWE title home come Sunday in another suplex by Taz.
04:28Stone Cold must be so proud.
04:30What a great leader is Stone Cold Steve Austin.
04:34And let Taz trash-talking the Olympic hero.
04:37The big right hand to Kurt Angle.
04:38Looks like that motivational speech by Austin really hit home with Taz.
04:44I can't believe after the beating Austin put on Taz, his pass running out on Raw,
04:47that Taz is still backing Austin, backing his leadership of the Alliance.
04:51What a clothesline.
04:53Everybody, everybody should respect Stone Cold Steve Austin on the way as Taz does.
04:59Well, Taz picking apart Kurt Angle in this matchup.
05:02And here comes Angle, trying to fire back with the right hand.
05:05Taz is reeling.
05:06Taz against the watch.
05:07Here's Angle, the reversal.
05:09And Angle knocking Taz down with the right hand.
05:13Kurt Angle, will he be the next WWF champion?
05:17And I don't think Stone Cold champion, and I don't think Stone Cold can do it, and a belly, and a belly, and a belly, and a belly, and a belly of his own, to Taz.
05:20Stone Cold looking on, perhaps some frustration, some concern, and wait a minute, Taz mission, but Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle with wrist control, and the Taz mission block, into the Angle Slam, hook on the wall, he got it.
05:33Here's Kurt Angle, if Kurt Angle hits the Angle Slam, coming in here, Boston, we're going to have a new WWF champion, and I don't think Stone Cold can believe it.
05:48And look at Kurt Angle.
05:52I think he just invited Stone Cold down to the ring.
05:55Here goes for the punk card of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
05:59Kurt Angle, apparently calling Austin down to the ring, but Rattlesnake was a bit reluctant.
06:06Alliance members on one side.
06:08Here he comes, and here comes Stone Cold.
06:11A preview of SummerSlam, perhaps.
06:13The WWF champion, marching down to the ring.
06:19Angle calling Austin down, and here comes Stone Cold.
06:23The Rattlesnake.
06:26Kurt Angle inviting Austin into the ring.
06:28And look at Austin, come on, he's backing up.
06:30Stone Cold's yellow.
06:31What a coward.
06:32He's a coward, Paul.
06:33Your champion, the WWF champion's a coward.
06:37I disagree with you, sir.
06:40Stone Cold Steve Austin has been challenged by Kurt Angle, and Austin is an opportunist.
06:46Well, Stone Cold on his way back to the ring.
06:49And the Rattlesnake.
06:50Wait a minute, Taz from behind.
06:51And Angle with the right hand.
06:53And look at Stone Cold, sweeping the opportunity.
06:55Opportunity knocked it.
06:56Stone Cold answered the door.
06:58Stone Cold back to the Stunner.
06:59Angle reversed it.
07:00Angle lock, Angle lock, Angle lock.
07:04Look, it's D-Von knocked down by Kurt Angle.
07:06Palumbo as well.
07:07And Stone Cold hightailing out of the ring.
07:11But all hell is breaking loose.
07:14The WWF and the Lions going at it.
07:16The fight is on.
07:17It's the WWF against the Lions.
07:20Stone Cold being held back from the WWE boys.
07:23And Abel wants Austin.
07:24Will he be the next WWF champion?
07:27But Sunday at SummerSlam.
07:29Angle may want Austin, but Austin wants Angle.
07:31It's Sunday at SummerSlam.
07:34They're gonna fight.
07:35What else is gonna happen here tonight?
07:37Next, it's Brock and Booker T.
07:39First ever What's Up match.
07:41Live.
07:42Next.
07:42Next.
