00:00:00Yes, sir, we promised you a great man here tonight.

00:00:04The last year.

00:00:05McAndre, the Chinese.

00:00:06The Man shows up on coaches, he's got an excuse in the book.

00:00:25What are you writing from?

00:00:26Just a minute, just a minute, stop it right now, stop it right now.

00:00:31Now the both of you show some respect.

00:00:34Now one at a time.

00:00:34Yeah, I'll go first.

00:00:36Teddy, you know what's going on.

00:00:38You talked to my doctor.

00:00:39Yes, I did.

00:00:40You saw my doctor's excuse.

00:00:42Excuse, yeah.

00:00:43Look, man, I'm hurt.

00:00:44I know you're hurt.

00:00:46And I cannot wrestle tonight.

00:00:48The rules are, Teddy, if a man can't continue, you go to the scorecard.

00:00:52I know the rules.

00:00:52Right now, I'm up three to one.

00:00:54Two rats.

00:00:55So I should be the United States.

00:00:57Hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:00:58Are you out of your mind?

00:00:59Are you out of your mind?

00:01:00Are you out of your mind?

00:01:01I made you tap out at Armageddon.

00:01:03And I'm ready to make you tap out again tonight.

00:01:05Oh, you know Armageddon wasn't nothing but a fool.

00:01:07Hey, just a minute.

00:01:08Just a minute.

00:01:09Just a minute.

00:01:10Wait a minute.

00:01:11The only thing that's been proven here is that, Booker, you can't go out and do your job tonight.

00:01:16Because I'm in.

00:01:17Do you understand that?

00:01:18I'm hurt.

00:01:19And you want me to award you the United States Championship?

00:01:21Yes.

00:01:22That's right.

00:01:23I don't think so.

00:01:24You know what?

00:01:25If you can't wrestle, then I've got a good mind to take your match tonight and award it to Chris

00:01:29Benoit by forfeit.

00:01:30Hell.

00:01:31Oh, damn.

00:01:32Wait a minute.

00:01:33Wait a minute.

00:01:34Oh, you see what you did?

00:01:35No.

00:01:36I'm going to win this series.

00:01:37And I'm going to win back that US title.

00:01:38But it's not going to be by forfeit.

00:01:40It's going to be in the middle of that ring.

00:01:42Listen.

00:01:43We're in the middle of this series.

00:01:44Now, Booker, if he can't wrestle, I guess I'll just have to...

00:01:47Hey!

00:01:48I've got a solution.

00:01:50Maybe I can find a substitute.

00:01:53What?

00:01:54Are you sure about that?

00:01:55Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:01:56Hold on.

00:01:57Hold on a minute, Blair.

00:01:58Are you proposing that you're going to get someone to wrestle in your place?

00:02:01That's right.

00:02:02Well, what if they win?

00:02:04Well, then my man wins the US championship.

00:02:07No, no, no, no, no, I ain't feeling it.

00:02:09No, wait a minute, Teddy.

00:02:10Wait a minute.

00:02:11That's fine.

00:02:12You go pick whoever you want to step into that ring tonight with me, and I'm going to beat them.

00:02:17Wait, wait, Chris.

00:02:19Just a minute.

00:02:20Now, I'm going to tell both of you something.

00:02:22Now, this is highly irregular, but I'm going to allow it.

00:02:27Now tonight, the best of seven series will continue.

00:02:32Booker, if your man wins, you will become the undisputed United States champion.

00:02:39Yeah, baby.

00:02:40Chris, if you win, you will be one match closer to the series.

00:02:44Now, the best thing I can tell both of you is good luck.

00:03:17Happy holidays, everybody, and welcome to the final SmackDown of 2005.

00:03:32Kicking things off with JBL.

00:03:35And ladies and gentlemen, what blockbuster news we just heard.

00:03:39The best of seven series for the United States Championship will continue tonight.

00:03:44Albeit with a substitute for an injured Booker T.

00:03:48Well, who's it gonna be?

00:03:49Who is the substitute?

00:03:50But Cole, check this out, Cole.

00:03:52Eminem exercising their mandatory rematch clause tonight.

00:03:57Tag Team titles are on the line.

00:03:59The champions Batista and Mysterio collide with Eminem.

00:04:04Welcome, everybody, to Mohegan Sun Casino in Ecclesville, Connecticut.

00:04:07Michael Cole and Taz in ringside at JBL set for a rematch with Matt Hardy

00:04:13from Armageddon a couple of weeks ago.

00:04:16JBL being accompanied by his image consultant Jillian Hall here to ringside.

00:04:20But at Armageddon Taz, Matt Hardy got hung up in the top rope early out of the matchup.

00:04:26And never really recovered.

00:04:27No doubt about it, very dangerous situation.

00:04:30Hardy is in, and look at the viciousness of JBL.

00:04:32Look at that boot right to the side of the skull.

00:04:35Matt Hardy's skull by the big boot of JBL.

00:04:38Tell you what, JBL's got a million-dollar smile, and he's got a million-dollar bad temperature.

00:04:44Look at that.

00:04:45And a clothesline for health, glory, Matt Hardy at Armageddon.

00:04:49Incorrect.

00:04:51That wasn't a match at Armageddon.

00:04:54JBL no longer has matches.

00:04:57JBL makes statements.

00:05:00Tonight, I make another statement.

00:05:03The opponent does not matter.

00:05:06I am JBL.

00:05:08The statement is, you get in my face, you get destroyed.

00:05:13Now, welcome to my show.

00:05:18That's Mr. SmackDown right there.

00:05:20What'd you do to upset, JBL?

00:05:21What's that?

00:05:22I have no idea, but I'm not gonna argue with him.

00:05:30Well, here's Matt Hardy, gutsy.

00:05:32Looks like he grabbed the back of that neck or shit.

00:05:35You can hear the effects of that top and bottom rope from all of his head.

00:05:39Remember, JBL also boosted the turnbuckle to expose that steel in Armageddon,

00:05:44allowing him to win the matchup versus Matt Hardy.

00:05:48But you heard what JBL said, you get in my face and you get destroyed.

00:05:53But remember, Matt Hardy, he will not go down easy.

00:05:57No, Matt Hardy, no doubt about that.

00:06:00Very tough, competitive.

00:06:02He's just got that cocky, that attitude, that, that,

00:06:06that swammy attitude at JBL.

00:06:09I like that.

00:06:10Well, listen, if you were a self-made millionaire,

00:06:12if you had a radio show, you were a financial analyst on television,

00:06:16and you were driving around in a limo up 95 from New York,

00:06:19you'd probably act like JBL as well.

00:06:20How did you get here from New York?

00:06:22On the ferry?

00:06:23No, no, don't call me a ferry.

00:06:25I got here in a Ford Taurus.

00:06:26I got a limo, Ford Taurus.

00:06:28Matt Hardy wasted a little time going to work on JBL with the right and left hands.

00:06:32Big revenge on Matt Hardy's mind here tonight from Armageddon two weeks ago.

00:06:36How do you battle the role by JBL if you're Matt Hardy?

00:06:40I think right out of the box.

00:06:41I think Hardy's doing the right thing.

00:06:42Jump it, get on, on JBL right away.

00:06:45Ooh!

00:06:46Look at that.

00:06:47And there's a big kick to the spine of Matt Hardy.

00:06:50And the neck.

00:06:51Look at Cole, look at Hardy.

00:06:52He's grabbing the back of his head and neck area there.

00:06:54Explain to us, Taz, if you get hung up in those roles like Matt Hardy did,

00:06:58really strangling an arm again.

00:07:00What does that do to you?

00:07:01It strangles you.

00:07:02Exactly, it really does.

00:07:03Oh, wow.

00:07:04Get to that head.

00:07:05The top rope and second rope are so tight.

00:07:08And with that wrapped around your throat and neck.

00:07:11And then you get someone like JBL now pincoating that neck.

00:07:15That's a good way to spend a Friday night.

00:07:17Stringing neck breakers by JBL.

00:07:20JBL connecting to Matt Hardy.

00:07:23JBL, a 10-month reign as WWE Champion.

00:07:29Longest in a decade as image consultant Jillian Hall looks on.

00:07:33And listen, you can say what you want about Jillian Hall, Taz,

00:07:35but she has done wonders with JBL regaining some confidence

00:07:39over the past few months.

00:07:40Oh, man, that shoulder block.

00:07:42Well, I don't think she's gonna, I think Jillian Hall's gonna give

00:07:45any skin advice to anyone anytime soon.

00:07:47JBL with a third elbow to the sternum viciously assaulting Matt Hardy.

00:08:00Look at that face.

00:08:01Look at the eyes of JBL, over 300 pounds.

00:08:03Look, she's mocking Matt Hardy now.

00:08:05And again, much like Armageddon, Taz,

00:08:07Matt Hardy hasn't ever really been able to get out of the box here.

00:08:10Well, I gotta give Matt Hardy credit.

00:08:12He used to come out here, you know, he's not...

00:08:14Matt Hardy is not 100%, he's still in there.

00:08:19You gotta tell him I gotta thumb put his eye there.

00:08:21Matt Hardy's swinging wildly, blinded momentarily,

00:08:24and JBL, you see that smile on his face,

00:08:27realizing Matt Hardy was a sitting duck?

00:08:30Well, you know, you got your opponent right where you want him,

00:08:33and you sense or smell victory.

00:08:35Great feeling.

00:08:37It's a great feeling that you're right there on the cusp

00:08:39of getting the victory.

00:08:41And what a night here tonight on Friday Night SmackDown,

00:08:45starting out with this tremendous matchup,

00:08:47the Omageddon return match, JBL and Matt Hardy.

00:08:49Also, the WWE tag team titles are on the line.

00:08:53You mentioned it earlier, Eminem exercising their rematch clause

00:08:56against Batista and Mysterio.

00:08:58And what about that best of seven series continuing?

00:09:00And you know, I mean, it's a shame what happened to Booker T,

00:09:03that he's got this injury, and it's no doubt it's legit.

00:09:06But who is Booker T gonna pick?

00:09:12To him against Chris Benoit.

00:09:14I'll tell you, Booker T better pick somebody up at the upper edge line here

00:09:17at SmackDown, because I tell you what, all the marbles are on the line.

00:09:20If the substitute for Booker T wins tonight, Booker T will become United States

00:09:25champion.

00:09:26And Chris Benoit, of course, needs a victory to stay in the game.

00:09:30He's down three matches to one in the best of seven series.

00:09:34Benoit still has to win three in a row.

00:09:37And you see that cocky, smug look on JBL's face.

00:09:41Kind of just going with Matt Hardy, and Matt Hardy is hurt.

00:09:45Do not have a concussion.

00:09:46All these boots to the head.

00:09:48Oh!

00:09:49Matt Hardy with a boot to the face of JBL.

00:09:51Watch out, watch out!

00:09:52Hardy pleading JBL.

00:09:53I believe JBL's skull off Matt Hardy's knee.

00:09:57Heard JBL earlier tonight with a New Year's resolution of sorts.

00:10:01If you get in my face, you get destroyed.

00:10:03Well, that's a good resolution.

00:10:05Watch out!

00:10:06What a shoulder knocked down by the football star JBL.

00:10:09There's the image consultant.

00:10:11I like the fact that JBL says he has matches.

00:10:13Hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:10:14Look at this.

00:10:15Just like an Armageddon, just like an Armageddon, JBL making another statement.

00:10:19Exposing the steel turnbuckle.

00:10:21Watch out!

00:10:22And Matt Hardy this time not falling for it as he delivers an elbow to the face.

00:10:26And JBL bounced off that exposed steel.

00:10:30JBL might be knocked out here.

00:10:32Could be.

00:10:33Maybe.

00:10:34I don't know, but could have an upset coming.

00:10:35Matt Hardy to the second row.

00:10:37The SmackDown fans and Hardy's water.

00:10:39Legs right from the second row.

00:10:40He's got it, Cole.

00:10:41It's gonna be over.

00:10:42I'm telling you.

00:10:43There's the cover.

00:10:44Hook to the leg.

00:10:45Shoulders are down.

00:10:46And JBL just rolled the shoulder out.

00:10:49But Matt Hardy is not done yet.

00:10:51Well, Matt Hardy now looks like he might be going for that.

00:10:55Go for that.

00:10:56Yep.

00:10:57Twist the fake.

00:10:58Twist the fake.

00:10:59Uh-oh.

00:11:00And JBL countered.

00:11:01Missed with the clothesline.

00:11:02And he caught Matt Hardy in midair.

00:11:03You don't wanna get caught with JBL.

00:11:05Racing Matt Hardy up on the top row.

00:11:07He's gonna go for that ball and slam, but instead he said...

00:11:10Wait a minute.

00:11:11What is this?

00:11:12Oh, my God.

00:11:13Oh, my God.

00:11:14Oh, my God.

00:11:15Oh, no.

00:11:16Colin's...

00:11:17It's the Boogeyman.

00:11:18Oh, no.

00:11:19What is he coming again?

00:11:20Anybody he damn wants.

00:11:21And look at JBL.

00:11:22That was in shock.

00:11:23Oh, my God.

00:11:24He's doing that thing, Colin.

00:11:25You're looking.

00:11:26I'll tell you what.

00:11:27You are looking at the most freakiest of all the guys.

00:11:29Oh, my God.

00:11:30Strangest man I've ever witnessed in my life in anything.

00:11:32Well, JBL and Matt Hardy up on the second row.

00:11:34Watch out.

00:11:35Delivers a fall away slam.

00:11:36Oh, my God.

00:11:37He's got the worms.

00:11:38He's got the worms in his mouth.

00:11:39And JBL can't believe that this guy's eating worms.

00:11:42Well, JBL, I don't blame Mike can't believe that Boogeyman's eating worms.

00:11:59He's been doing it week after week out here.

00:12:01The clothesline from hell by JBL.

00:12:06Why is the Boogeyman out here?

00:12:08I don't know but he's getting closer and closer.

00:12:11Uh-oh.

00:12:12And JBL.

00:12:13Jillian Hall ran into that.

00:12:15He knocked Jillian over by accident, JBL, did he?

00:12:19Boogeyman's making his way toward JBL.

00:12:21JBL's just checking on Jillian.

00:12:22What's he got in his pocket?

00:12:24What the hell?

00:12:26No.

00:12:27What is he?

00:12:29God.

00:12:30What the hell is it?

00:12:35Come on now.

00:12:36JBL just threw Jillian Hall in front of the Boogeyman and I pulled him out.

00:12:40I believe JBL was counted out.

00:12:42Well, he's an image consultant.

00:12:44JBL was counted out.

00:12:46I never realized.

00:12:47I think he was.

00:12:48But JBL and Jillian Hall high talent.

00:12:51Look at this.

00:12:52Look at this.

00:12:53Look at this.

00:12:54The most bizarre man I've ever seen in a wrestling ring.

00:12:56Forget about a wrestling ring.

00:12:57He's the most bizarre man I've ever witnessed ever.

00:13:00I'm not exaggerating man.

00:13:02As a result of a count out.

00:13:04Man.

00:13:05Look at JBL playing Big Man trying to save Jillian Hall.

00:13:10I don't blame JBL for being upset and lost that match.

00:13:14I thought JBL.

00:13:15I thought JBL wasn't scared of any man.

00:13:21Bookie Man's not an everyday man.

00:13:22Oh, you know what I'm saying?

00:13:23Baby, who are you going to get to substitute for you tonight?

00:13:24I don't know, baby.

00:13:25I'm wearing my options right now.

00:13:26Okay, but you know there's not too many people around here you can actually trust.

00:13:27Yeah, I know that.

00:13:28But it's one guy back there.

00:13:29It's one guy.

00:13:30And I know you know who I'm talking about.

00:13:31This is one guy.

00:13:32Hey, Bookie.

00:13:33What's going on?

00:13:34Watch out, man.

00:13:35I'm hurt.

00:13:36Hey, Bookie.

00:13:37Hey, Bookie.

00:13:38Hey, Bookie.

00:13:39Hey, what's going on?

00:13:40Watch out, man.

00:13:41I'm sorry.

00:13:42I'm hurt.

00:13:43Hey, hey, Shermere.

00:13:44How you doing?

00:13:45I'm good.

00:13:46You look absolutely gorgeous.

00:13:47You are truly a beautiful girl.

00:13:48What's your deal, man?

00:13:49I don't know that.

00:13:50How you feeling, man?

00:13:51I'm all right.

00:13:52You sure?

00:13:53Yeah, I'm all right.

00:13:54I'm so sorry about your injury, man.

00:13:55I feel terrible.

00:13:56I feel so bad that I had to come in and help you, man.

00:13:58Bro.

00:13:59Help me how, man?

00:14:00I wouldn't be honored to be your substitute tonight and face Crispin Wah

00:14:05and show them exactly what...

00:14:06Wait.

00:14:07You.

00:14:08Yeah, me.

00:14:09Yeah, hell yeah.

00:14:10Orlando.

00:14:11You want a substitute for my man?

00:14:12Yeah.

00:14:13Tonight.

00:14:14Okay.

00:14:15Tell me this.

00:14:16How many times have you tapped out to Ben Wah?

00:14:18Oh.

00:14:19Yeah, but that...

00:14:20No, no.

00:14:21Better yet.

00:14:22How long did it take for you to tap out the last time you were in the ring with Ben Wah?

00:14:26No, but see, you don't...

00:14:27No, no.

00:14:28I'll tell you, Orlando.

00:14:29Man, you tapped out when you walked up here.

00:14:32Look at you.

00:14:33You tapping right now, man.

00:14:35You know, you can't even stand in my man's shoes.

00:14:39Let alone stand in the ring for him.

00:14:41Why don't you just tap on out of here right now before I really get loud?

00:14:45But...

00:14:46But...

00:14:47You know what?

00:14:50I'ma remember this.

00:14:51I'ma remember this.

00:14:52Yo, man, why don't you just get your heels to clickin' and tap your a** on out of here.

00:14:56I'ma remember this.

00:14:57Give me this.

00:14:58All right?

00:14:59What?

00:15:00You believe it?

00:15:01Well, ladies and gentlemen, Molina has called for a press conference tonight apparently

00:15:07to elaborate to address outrageous statements and rumors that have been flying all over WWE.com

00:15:14all week long.

00:15:15I can't wait to hear, Taz, what Molina has to say about this.

00:15:22To all my Latinx and Latinos, it's time for change.

00:15:29The time has arrived.

00:15:30The time has arrived.

00:15:31The time has arrived.

00:15:32I've got the momentum.

00:15:35Floating tag team contested.

00:15:38They go for one fall.

00:15:39They're winning.

00:15:41At a combined weight of 412 pounds.

00:15:44They're members of the Mexico side.

00:15:47Coaching and Super Crazy.

00:15:51I tell you, speaking of Armageddon, what a match.

00:15:53Super Crazy and Psychosis had with Eminem at Armageddon.

00:15:58It was a boybird.

00:15:59Absolute rocket buster for a Friday.

00:16:02That's why I love the Mexicans, man.

00:16:03They love my amigos.

00:16:05They're not Mexicans.

00:16:06They're Mexicans.

00:16:07Hey, psychos, what's up, bro?

00:16:10You doing all right, man?

00:16:14Well, you think now that it's winter,

00:16:15maybe they put some snow plows on the one there

00:16:17and rolling around town.

00:16:18They leave the snow plows in the parking garage.

00:16:21It was right next to my limo.

00:16:23My limo, where am I going to have it?

00:16:25That's what I said earlier.

00:16:28That's what I said earlier.

00:16:32And at a combined weight of 430 pounds,

00:16:36Chad and James, the Dicks.

00:16:39Wow, I'll tell you a lot.

00:16:40Look at the Dicks.

00:16:41They got those blood red tights on.

00:16:44Press them.

00:16:44James and Chad set for us and you're in and out against them.

00:16:47You buy those blood red tights for Christmas?

00:16:50Yeah, Christmas color.

00:16:51Oh, man, I'll tell you a lot.

00:16:52I know the Dicks have been having some fun at Bohegan Sun Casino here over the past couple of days.

00:16:57I got here yesterday.

00:16:58I got here yesterday.

00:16:58I got here gambling.

00:16:59I got here today.

00:16:59I saw you at the Texas Hold'em table.

00:17:04Oh, yeah.

00:17:05The Dicks play Texas Hold'em.

00:17:06They win all the time.

00:17:07They know when to hold them.

00:17:09Well, I'll tell you, that's important for the playing cards or whatever else.

00:17:12You know, you do or they, whatever people do, I don't know, but this should be a hell of a matchup, Bohegan.

00:17:20These guys are full of themselves, Bohegan.

00:17:23This entrance sort of rivals Molina's, doesn't it?

00:17:26No.

00:17:26Are you like the choreograph on this thing here?

00:17:29Are you like, uh, like, uh, what's your idea?

00:17:34Paul Abdul?

00:17:34No, yeah, Paul Abdul or like the guy who's in tap dance.

00:17:38Gregory Hines?

00:17:39Yeah, him.

00:17:39I can't.

00:17:40You like the choreograph, right?

00:17:41Did you see you at, uh, Lucille Walbert's?

00:17:45Well, I wasn't there.

00:17:45I saw a video of your training at Lucille Walbert's with those Candy Apple Reds tights on, right?

00:17:49Oh, yeah.

00:17:50I love Candy Apple Reds.

00:17:51I got a tank top.

00:17:53Everything.

00:17:53It's awesome.

00:17:54You got those tube socks with the pink and red stripes, too, right?

00:17:59Well, come on.

00:17:59Your favorite competitors are out here right now, Chad and Jim Dick.

00:18:03James Dick.

00:18:04Well, collar and elbow tie up center of the ring, and there's Chad Dick.

00:18:07Goes to work on the left arm.

00:18:08You know, Cole.

00:18:08Psychosis.

00:18:09Dicks, they're not tall.

00:18:10Here's the cover and a kick out.

00:18:12They're not tall, but, you know, they say size does matter.

00:18:14I mean, they're pretty put together.

00:18:17Oh, this is the bigger of the Dicks.

00:18:18Here's a James who just kicks out at two.

00:18:21Actually, this is Chad.

00:18:22Sorry.

00:18:23Actually, tights threw me off.

00:18:25So, what are you saying?

00:18:26The other guy's the littlest?

00:18:27What are you saying?

00:18:27The other guy's the littlest?

00:18:28The littlest.

00:18:29Smallest.

00:18:30He's a bit small.

00:18:31Here's the tag into us.

00:18:32Super crazy.

00:18:33So, Marty, how do you know this?

00:18:34How do you have this insight on it?

00:18:35I mean, you guys play cards together here.

00:18:37Well, he could sign a realtor and shit.

00:18:38I'm a big fan of the Dicks hung out.

00:18:39The group up.

00:18:40There's the James in off the tag.

00:18:43Kick to the midsection.

00:18:44Well, they're very aggressive.

00:18:45Yes, they are.

00:18:46They're very aggressive.

00:18:47Oh, and a high elbow and knocking super crazy.

00:18:49Whoa, look at the road.

00:18:50I'm so quick with the super crazy.

00:18:51Oh, and here's the heel kick to the jaw.

00:18:53Super crazy.

00:18:55Bragging James Dick to the corner.

00:18:57Well, he knows.

00:18:57He knows.

00:18:58Super crazy knows.

00:18:58Get over by Psychosis.

00:19:00Watch this.

00:19:01You've seen the Mexicans do.

00:19:03Look at this.

00:19:03And a great double team on the dick by Psychosis and super crazy.

00:19:08Up to the apron.

00:19:10Psychosis.

00:19:11Look at Chad.

00:19:12Oh!

00:19:13Psychosis knocked off the top top.

00:19:16Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:19:16There's the cover and a kick out by Psychosis.

00:19:20And now the Dicks double teaming.

00:19:21You think the Dicks are wearing those reds because it's like Christmas time?

00:19:25Probably.

00:19:26Well, it could be Hanukkah time.

00:19:28Hanukkah red, the red clothes, I don't know how that works.

00:19:30It is the Hanukkah season as well.

00:19:32Oh!

00:19:34Wadswell, I mean, it's all like New Year's, right?

00:19:37There's all sorts of holidays, right?

00:19:39That's a very holiday.

00:19:40Everybody's got their own colors.

00:19:42What's Bastille Day?

00:19:43What's that?

00:19:44That's a French holiday.

00:19:46It's a French holiday.

00:19:47You know, we're right up on the Imani Cosmo.

00:19:49Whoa, here's the cover and a kick out.

00:19:51You said it's a French holiday?

00:19:52I don't know what the Steel Day is, but this is New Year's weekend.

00:19:55Tomorrow night's New Year's Eve.

00:19:56I wonder what the Dicks are going to do.

00:19:56Hey, by the way, I got that Cinco de Mayo stuff.

00:19:58I got some people in my neighborhood.

00:19:59They celebrate all that.

00:20:00That's in May.

00:20:01That's what the Mexicals celebrate.

00:20:03But anyway, the Dicks, what do you think they're going to do for New Year's Eve?

00:20:05How do you know the Mexicals?

00:20:07The Dicks?

00:20:08Oh, they're going to watch the big ball drop in Manhattan.

00:20:10What are you kidding me?

00:20:11Jeez, they call me softballs here.

00:20:13It's Times Square.

00:20:14It's only one ball that actually drops off.

00:20:16Them and Dick Clark, you'd all be hanging out.

00:20:18It'd be great.

00:20:20There's a match going on.

00:20:21Get up, Bob!

00:20:23Psychosis needs to make a tag here.

00:20:25He's super crazy.

00:20:26James Dick trying to make it to his partner, Chad, as well.

00:20:28Here's Psychosis, can he make a tag?

00:20:30He got it, he got it.

00:20:31He got it.

00:20:31Comes super crazy.

00:20:32Super crazy cuts underneath, look at this.

00:20:34Oh, right in the face.

00:20:36Springboard drop kick, follows up with a drop kick of his own into the ring.

00:20:38Pass James, kick toward the corner, kicks it up with a clothesline.

00:20:44Loaded with impact with that clothesline, super crazy.

00:20:47Super crazy is all fired up.

00:20:49Watch out!

00:20:50Look at this, roll through, shoulders down, there's two.

00:20:54And Chad Dick breaks up the three count.

00:20:57Yeah, I'll tell you what, Chad Dick, Jim Dick, they look upset.

00:20:59Uh-oh, now Psychosis into the ring.

00:21:01Uh-oh, now Psychosis into the ring.

00:21:02There goes Chad.

00:21:03Look at this, man.

00:21:04Look at this, man.

00:21:05It's a crucifix.

00:21:06And the cover, and a kick out at two.

00:21:08How did James Dick kick out of that?

00:21:09Whoa!

00:21:10Oh, my.

00:21:11Oh, my.

00:21:12Oh, my.

00:21:13He's got the apron.

00:21:14He's got the apron.

00:21:15He's got the apron.

00:21:16Dick's popping up all over the place.

00:21:17Kick to the face.

00:21:18Watch out.

00:21:19Look at this.

00:21:20Roll through, shoulders down, there's two.

00:21:21And Chad Dick breaks up the three count.

00:21:23Yeah, I'll tell you what.

00:21:24Hey, get out of the ring.

00:21:25Hey, get out of the ring.

00:21:26Hey, get out of the ring.

00:21:27Uh-oh.

00:21:28Now Psychosis into the ring.

00:21:29There goes Chad.

00:21:30Look at this.

00:21:31Look at this.

00:21:32Man.

00:21:33The crucifix.

00:21:34And the cover.

00:21:35And a kick out at two.

00:21:36How did James Dick kick out of that?

00:21:37Oh, my God.

00:21:38Wow.

00:21:39Drop kick to the gut.

00:21:40A missile drop kick.

00:21:41Super crazy.

00:21:42Suck out like a human demolition derpy out here.

00:21:45Go from the top.

00:21:46Goodbye.

00:21:47That's it.

00:21:48The Mexicans.

00:21:49Slay the Knicks.

00:21:50Here are your winners.

00:21:54The Mexicans.

00:21:56They're Mexicans and Mexicans.

00:21:59Wow.

00:22:00That was impressive victory over to Dick's there.

00:22:03By our crazy and psychosis.

00:22:06Take another look, ladies and gentlemen.

00:22:07What happened at the end of the matchup.

00:22:09First psychosis.

00:22:10Look at that.

00:22:11God.

00:22:12That ground kick off that missile throw.

00:22:14And watch the moonshot like crazy.

00:22:16Coach Brooke, moonshot off the tippy taco.

00:22:21Big win for the Mexicans.

00:22:23Here tonight over James and Chad Dick.

00:22:26Hell of a match.

00:22:30Randy.

00:22:35I need to talk to you, man.

00:22:36Look, Randy.

00:22:37I'm hurt, man.

00:22:38And I know you hurt too.

00:22:39Hell.

00:22:40Two weeks ago.

00:22:41With The Undertaker.

00:22:42You went through hell in the cell.

00:22:43I know that.

00:22:44See, but tonight I got a problem.

00:22:45Tonight I can't go out there with Chris Benoit.

00:22:46See, the best of seven for the United States Championship is about to roll on without me, man.

00:22:48And I can't let that happen.

00:23:03See, Teddy told me I could choose a substitute.

00:23:06I could choose anybody in that locker room, man.

00:23:09Not in that locker room, man, but I chose you, because you can get the job done, man.

00:23:19Look, what makes you think I would want to do you a favor?

00:23:23Why would I want to take your place?

00:23:27Look, man, as bad as I hurt, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes, man.

00:23:33Look at you, man.

00:23:35You're supposed to be the future of this business.

00:23:38You're supposed to be the legend killer, and you want to go out like that, man?

00:23:44Everybody in that locker room, everybody around the world is talking about how the Undertaker kick your ass.

00:23:52Yeah, yeah, they're talking about how he beat the hell out of your old man, and he's still in recovery.

00:23:59That's the way you want to go out in 2005, man.

00:24:01See, you go out there tonight, you beat Chris Benoit, I'll become the United States champion.

00:24:13But you get all the glory, man.

00:24:16You get all the glory.

00:24:17You prove to the world that you are the legend killer.

00:24:23Ain't nothing change, man.

00:24:26What do you say?

00:24:28What do I say?

00:24:31What do I say?

00:24:32You know what?

00:24:34Book, you're right.

00:24:35I know I'm right.

00:24:36You're right.

00:24:36I know I'm right.

00:24:38Benoit.

00:24:41Benoit is mine.

00:24:43Ain't nothing but a stepping stone.

00:24:44That's what I'm talking about.

00:24:46That's the legend killer I'm talking about.

00:24:51Thanks, brother.

00:24:51Let's get this going, dog.

00:24:56Well, there's Melina talking to Eminem, and again, she's about to hold a press conference

00:25:01here tonight to elaborate to address those outrageous statements that, in rumors that

00:25:05have been flying all over WWE.com this week.

00:25:08But ladies and gentlemen, the last time we saw Melina, she was negotiating with Batista.

00:25:18Hey, Batista.

00:25:19Melina.

00:25:21You getting ready for your match?

00:25:22Yes.

00:25:23I don't normally ever do anything like this, but my boys, Mercury and Nitro, they're excited

00:25:31to have that match against Ray and the world heavyweight champion.

00:25:36But this Sunday, they have a match against the Mexicans, and they could really use this

00:25:41time to prepare.

00:25:43So if you could withdraw yourself from the match tonight...

00:25:47I don't think so.

00:25:47I could really make it worth your while.

00:25:51Really?

00:25:51Really.

00:25:57So we have a deal, right?

00:25:59A deal?

00:26:01No.

00:26:02No deal.

00:26:03Thanks for the warm-up, though.

00:26:04You're so great.

00:26:06I'm going to kill those guys.

00:26:08I'll see you out there.

00:26:09Batista got Melina big time in more ways than one.

00:26:13Wink, wink.

00:26:14Following contest is for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

00:26:20I'll tell you, Melina's so upset.

00:26:22I mean, she's been dissed, dissed by Batista.

00:26:24It's not going to be easy to try to wrestle these titles away from Eminem.

00:26:31Look at the look in Melina's eyes.

00:26:33Melina's used to have it her way with people, not the other way around.

00:26:36She's been embarrassed.

00:26:37Mysterio and Batista better watch themselves with that Hellcat outside the ring.

00:26:41Well, we know the Tag Team title rematch is later tonight as reporters have gathered here

00:27:11at ringside.

00:27:12All the press is in the house, huh?

00:27:13Waiting for this press conference, this major press conference from Melina here tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.

00:27:19And you've got to be wondering, Taz, what she's going to say about all these rumors and the outranking statements

00:27:25that have been on WWE.com all week long.

00:27:28I know.

00:27:29And I want to hear.

00:27:32I want to hear this.

00:27:33I want to see what Melina, I'm assuming that that person back there with the briefcase

00:27:38of Melina's attorney or legal representation, I guess.

00:27:44Melina's demeanor obviously much different than we have grown accustomed to here on SmackDown.

00:27:51Obviously, apparently upset.

00:27:55Oh, yeah.

00:27:57Definitely.

00:27:57Melina has a definitely different look on her face than you have to do a traditional entrance

00:28:01out here than she usually does.

00:28:03Well, I don't like the, uh, I don't like for this whole big star now.

00:28:11I don't like lawyers.

00:28:24First off.

00:28:25I just want to say that this subject matter.

00:28:44I just want to say that this subject matter is an adult nature.

00:29:08I just want to say that this subject matter is an adult nature, this isn't easy for me.

00:29:18I just want to say that this subject matter is a lack of property, but you want to say that this subject matter?

00:29:32However.

00:29:34Mathis up, Mathis up, Mathis, Mathis up, Mathis up, Mathis up, Mathis up, Mathis up, Mathis up, Mathis up, Mathis up.

00:29:46However, as a role model for young women, I have no choice but to somehow summon the

00:30:00courage to do what's right, not just for me, but for all the other women who have been

00:30:12in this position.

00:30:26The truth is, I was recently the victim of a sexual predator, a man who you all know

00:30:48as Batista.

00:30:59I admit to an innocent flirtation with Batista, but that innocent flirtation soon turned into

00:31:13something abhorrent.

00:31:20I told Batista to stop!

00:31:24And he did it!

00:31:26Don't listen to me.

00:31:28Don't listen to me.

00:31:30Don't listen to me.

00:31:32Don't listen to me.

00:31:33Don't listen to me.

00:31:34Would you like a kiss for me?

00:31:36Don't listen to me.

00:31:37Don't listen to me.

00:31:38Don't listen to me.

00:31:39Don't listen to me.

00:31:40Don't listen to me.

00:31:41Don't listen to me.

00:31:42Don't listen to me.

00:31:43Don't listen to me.

00:31:44Don't listen to me.

00:31:45Don't listen to me.

00:31:46Don't listen to me.

00:31:47Don't listen to me.

00:31:48Don't listen to me.

00:31:49Don't listen to me.

00:31:50Don't listen to me.

00:31:51Don't listen to me.

00:31:52Don't listen to me.

00:31:53Don't listen to me.

00:31:54Don't listen to me.

00:31:55Don't listen to me.

00:31:56Don't listen to me.

00:31:57Don't listen to me.

00:31:58Don't listen to me.

00:31:59Don't listen to me.

00:32:00Don't listen to me.

00:32:01Don't listen to me.

00:32:02Don't listen to me.

00:32:03Don't listen to me.

00:32:06Batista's public image.

00:32:27Batista, Batista, Batista.

00:32:29You don't know.

00:32:30Batista, Batista, Batista, Batista.

00:32:36Batista, Batista, Batista, Batista.

00:32:41Batista, Batista, Batista.

00:32:43Batista, Batista, Batista.

00:32:46Batista, Batista, Batista.

00:32:51Batista's public image is of that of a suave, sophisticated individual,

00:32:57and you all have seen it.

00:32:59I know better.

00:33:04There's a side of Batista that you all don't know about.

00:33:11A man who will stop at nothing and nothing to get what he wants, regardless of who he hurts.

00:33:19Well, this time Batista has gone too far.

00:33:34Batista, my body is my temple.

00:33:38My body is not yours for the taking.

00:33:45You had no right to do what you did to me.

00:33:51Every time I close my eyes, I am haunted.

00:33:57Haunted by that image of Batista and his smirk.

00:34:04It is an image that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

00:34:12I'm scarred.

00:34:13I'm scarred.

00:34:15I'm scarred.

00:34:19You hit it.

00:34:20A man right now.

00:34:21The police used to suffice a rule.

00:34:22You had no right to fight all the crimes.

00:34:23That's

00:34:31the most harmful blend.

00:34:36The police used to be massive.

00:34:37The police used gradually to protect the police and safety,

00:34:40and their bodies so olarak training is difficult,

00:34:42there's the mother's only-d cyclist and administration done today with the Mohawkant .

00:34:44be a victim any longer. In order to ensure that this horrific act does not happen to

00:34:49other women, I have decided to take a stand. I have filed the necessary legal paperwork

00:35:00and at this time, I am here to announce that I will be officially suing one David Batista.

00:35:14Suing him for sexual harassment!

00:35:22Obviously Melina accompanied by her attorney out here tonight, but nonetheless the very

00:35:41serious charges have been leveled against the World Heavyweight Champion.

00:35:48I wonder how Batista, I wonder how Batista is going to react to this call in the air.

00:36:00It's a serious new thing there. I don't know what to say.

00:36:05Well and upset Melina, leaving with her attorney. Again, very serious charges have been leveled

00:36:12against the World Heavyweight Champion.

00:36:13Certainly didn't expect this here tonight, that's for sure, Cole, I'll tell you. I mean,

00:36:17you know, up next, up next, the best of seven series is next, it's still going on, it's not

00:36:24Booker T versus Chris Benoit, it's Randy Orton. I'll tell you what, handpicked Randy Orton was

00:36:30to go against Benoit, and that bad boy is next.

00:36:32What's the lovely Sean Mel doing out here?

00:36:45Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Sean Mel, Booker T's wife.

00:36:51Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce my man and your next United States Champion, Booker T.

00:37:06Can you dig it, sucker?

00:37:08Those hurt, I know it's hurt.

00:37:10The only thing I can figure out is you see Booker's on crutches, he's got a lot at stake in this matchup.

00:37:15His handpicked person here tonight, Randy Orton.

00:37:18If Orton wins, Booker T becomes the United States Champion.

00:37:21First of all, his handpicked person is a former WWE Champion, the youngest WWE Champion in history.

00:37:28He's not just a person, Randy Orton is definitely for real.

00:37:31Are you kidding me?

00:37:32Actually, the former World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton.

00:37:35You know what I'm talking about.

00:37:36Do you think Booker T is going to be the United States Champion when SmackDown makes its way

00:37:40towards Bear, Pennsylvania next week?

00:37:42I don't know, we'll see.

00:37:44This is the situation here, Booker T legitimately injured.

00:37:47Injured a groin at a live event earlier this week.

00:37:49Booker T cannot go in this matchup here tonight.

00:37:51But general manager, Theodore Long, allowing Booker T to pick a substitute tonight.

00:37:56That's substituting Randy Orton.

00:37:58Orton wins, Booker T is the United States Champion.

00:38:01Orton loses.

00:38:02Ben was only down three to two.

00:38:04Oh, I think Booker's coming over here.

00:38:05Hold on, man.

00:38:06We help the Bookman out.

00:38:07It's the holiday season.

00:38:08Booker still got that smile off.

00:38:10What's up, Dodge?

00:38:11What's up, Booker?

00:38:12Come on, my man.

00:38:13Sit down.

00:38:14Happy holidays, my friend.

00:38:15How you doing, bro?

00:38:16Happy holidays.

00:38:17Hello, Booker.

00:38:18Very courageous you being out here.

00:38:19How you doing?

00:38:20Hi, Charmel.

00:38:21Happy holidays, Charmel.

00:38:22How are you?

00:38:23Kiss like your wrist or something like your hustles.

00:38:25Yeah.

00:38:26I don't roll like that.

00:38:27I'm just joking around.

00:38:37The following contest is match number five in the best of seven series to determine the

00:38:44undisputed United States Champion.

00:38:47In the ring from Atlanta, Georgia.

00:38:49Weighing in at 234 pounds.

00:38:52The rabbit over in Chris Benoit.

00:38:57Hey, Booker, you gotta love Chris Benoit and his tenacity.

00:39:00Chris Benoit said, I don't care who I face tonight.

00:39:03I wanna win the United States Championship in the ring.

00:39:06I don't want it handy to me.

00:39:07Benoit staring a whole right-

00:39:10Why is he looking at me like that?

00:39:11Well, I don't know.

00:39:12What's his deal?

00:39:14Why is he looking at me like that?

00:39:16I don't know.

00:39:17Maybe he thinks that-

00:39:19My man is hurt.

00:39:20He needs to back off.

00:39:21Look, man, my doctor told me not to fight.

00:39:24You gotta be careful.

00:39:25I don't believe you.

00:39:26You got a career ahead of you, man.

00:39:30And from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds.

00:39:35Good choice, baby.

00:39:36Good choice.

00:39:37Randy Orton.

00:39:39Randy Orton's father, Cowboy Bob Orton, not here tonight because of what happened inside

00:39:43Hell in a Cell.

00:39:44Randy Orton, Booker T, obviously not 100%.

00:39:47So why would you pick Randy Orton after his battle with The Undertaker two weeks ago to put the opportunity you have to win the United States Championship in Randy Orton's hands tonight?

00:39:57Because look at him.

00:39:58Look at him.

00:39:59Look at him.

00:40:00Randy Orton is the man for the job.

00:40:01Randy Orton, his attitude was a little downtrodden earlier.

00:40:06But look at him now.

00:40:07Look at his face.

00:40:08He picked him up, man.

00:40:09Look at his confidence.

00:40:10He picked him up.

00:40:11Look at this guy right here.

00:40:12This is the Legend Killer.

00:40:13This is Randy Orton, man.

00:40:14He's ready, baby.

00:40:15You're a regular Newt Rockneum.

00:40:16You can sell water to a sailor.

00:40:18I mean, it's very impressive.

00:40:19You know, I can sit out here and talk about myself all day.

00:40:22I know you do.

00:40:23I'm not out here to talk about myself.

00:40:24I know.

00:40:25I'm out here to talk about Randy Orton, the guy who's gonna go out here and beat Chris Benoit and hand me the United States Championship.

00:40:33That's right, baby.

00:40:34That's right.

00:40:35As well as secure his own legacy.

00:40:38Well, folks, speaking of injury, of your injury, when do you think you're gonna be back in the ring?

00:40:41What's the deal?

00:40:42I will be back very, very soon.

00:40:44Don't worry about that.

00:40:45All right.

00:40:46Right now, I have my doctor.

00:40:47I have the best doctors in the world working.

00:40:49Right.

00:40:50And trust me, I have a complete injury, totally, totally real.

00:40:54And a real man, a man, a less of a man wouldn't be out here.

00:40:57But let's talk about this right here.

00:40:58Absolutely.

00:40:59We're not gonna talk about Booker T.

00:41:00No.

00:41:01Booker T is, from this point, is not gonna even be out here.

00:41:03Okay.

00:41:04Don't worry about this match right here.

00:41:05You're leaving?

00:41:06No, no, he's not leaving.

00:41:07Side headlock right here.

00:41:08We got a calling elbow to the side headlock.

00:41:10Booker T, I have never heard of a match where you could actually win a championship

00:41:14without actually participating in the matchup.

00:41:16Hey, that's the first time for everything.

00:41:17That's right.

00:41:18That's something that you wouldn't know about never being in the ring.

00:41:20No.

00:41:21But look at that right here.

00:41:22He just went over, hit him with that big tackle.

00:41:23Look for a little hit cross right.

00:41:24Look at Arden, he's gonna counter it.

00:41:29He's countering it by any means necessary.

00:41:31Look at him, he's gonna fight this thing.

00:41:33Arden's trying to get behind him after a slot.

00:41:34Randy's no joke.

00:41:35This guy is the real deal.

00:41:36Third generation wrestler, and you gotta give it to him.

00:41:39Look at him.

00:41:40If Benoit wanted that elbow off him.

00:41:41Beautiful.

00:41:42Randy what got behind him?

00:41:43Well, Chris Benoit's rolling United States Championship hangs in the balance when we return to Mohegan Sun.

00:41:52We are back on SmackDown, and ladies and gentlemen, truly a first on Friday Night SmackDown.

00:41:58Randy Orton, Booker T, substituting this matchup versus Chris Benoit.

00:42:02If Orton wins this matchup, Booker T, who joins us here at commentary and ringside,

00:42:07will become the United States Champion.

00:42:09If Benoit wins, then Benoit is only down three matches to two in the best of seven series.

00:42:15Look how Randy Orton is grinding his side headlock in right here.

00:42:18He's got a lot of pressure on that neck.

00:42:20We all know, I talked about before, Chris Benoit has a bad neck.

00:42:23And trust me, right here tonight, here in the Mohegan Sun, these people here can sense it.

00:42:27They can feel it right here, right here tonight.

00:42:29It's gonna be a lot of action.

00:42:30Here we go.

00:42:31We can also sense Booker T, the fact that it is desperation time for Chris Benoit.

00:42:35It is a must-win game again, much like it was in Armageddon for the Rabid Wolverine.

00:42:39My God.

00:42:40You know, Randy just caught a big forearm right here.

00:42:42And trust me, that hurt.

00:42:44Big knife edge chop right there.

00:42:45You know what, Book, why don't you tell everybody from experience what those chops feel like?

00:42:49Trust me, it feels like a bladed knife or something just cutting, just searing through butter or something like that.

00:42:54And it hurts, it hurts a lot.

00:42:56But a man like Booker T, you know, he loves that.

00:42:58He loves that challenge.

00:42:59He loves that, that the feel of pain, you know, he's a pain.

00:43:03Oh, my God.

00:43:04I don't think Randy Orton's loving it.

00:43:05Like that because Benoit just took that on the shoulder.

00:43:07He could have separated a shoulder or something right there.

00:43:09Randy Orton's, Randy Orton's cast.

00:43:11Oh, my God.

00:43:12Look out, Randy Orton.

00:43:14Watch yourself here.

00:43:15There you go.

00:43:16That was a great move by Randy Orton.

00:43:18One thing, you can't work on the eye muscle.

00:43:20All right, well.

00:43:21Oh.

00:43:22Nice suplex.

00:43:23That actually was a giant, that was a giant suplex right there, made famous by Bret the Hitman Hart.

00:43:30That was a very long sound bite, but thank you.

00:43:33Benoit went into the corner by Randy Orton.

00:43:35Remember, Randy Orton is less than two weeks removed from that hellacious, vicious battle

00:43:40inside Hell in a Cell against The Undertaker.

00:43:42Trust me, and that's why he has something to prove tonight.

00:43:45That's why he's gonna beat Benoit and secure his legacy as being the legend killer.

00:43:50This guy, this guy like, let me tell you, Randy Orton, he's a scientist when it comes down to being out there in the middle of that ring.

00:43:56Right now, you can tell he's trying to figure out Chris Benoit.

00:44:00He's trying to figure out where he wanna go right here.

00:44:02But Teddy Long should've given my man the championship tonight.

00:44:05This shouldn't even be that.

00:44:06I do agree with that, Charnell.

00:44:07You know what I mean? What am I talking about?

00:44:08I do agree with it, Charnell.

00:44:09Look at the scorecard.

00:44:10What the hell are you talking about?

00:44:11I think she's right.

00:44:12Benoit rolling Randy Orton over.

00:44:13He rolled a little hammerlock right there.

00:44:16So Booker, what does Randy Orton get if he wins the championship?

00:44:19Randy Orton, he gets all the glory.

00:44:21He gets the feel of being right where he wanna be at.

00:44:24He proved that he is the legend.

00:44:27Wait a minute.

00:44:28So he's gonna win a match and you're gonna be the champion.

00:44:30So what does he get?

00:44:31Just the glory?

00:44:32He gets to say he did it.

00:44:33He did it for Booker.

00:44:34That's it, that's it.

00:44:35You know what it's like Booker?

00:44:36You're like, oh, hey, here's the cover.

00:44:38Check out this analogy.

00:44:39Check out this analogy.

00:44:40You're like the starting quarterback who got hurt, and then the second string guy comes in and wins the game.

00:44:45You know, such as, you know, way back in the day, you know, the Houston Artists, you know, they were going against the Buffalo Bill.

00:44:51No, they were going against the Buffalo Bill.

00:44:52Yeah, yeah.

00:44:53You know, Jim Kelly get hurt.

00:44:54Frank Wright comes in and down by 30 points, and he came back and he won that game.

00:44:58That's the game that's still remembered in the history of football.

00:45:03That's something you might not know, Michael Cole.

00:45:04That is something, a little knowledge from Booker T.

00:45:08But wait a minute.

00:45:09Wait a minute.

00:45:10That's actually a great analogy, because the Buffalo Bills were down 35-3 in that game and came back to win,

00:45:14much like Chris Benoit was down 3-0 in this and may come back to win the United States Championship.

00:45:18Oh, see, now he's in all that.

00:45:20Yeah, he's in.

00:45:21You ain't nothing but a hater, man.

00:45:22Right here we have, we have where Randy Orton has him in his leg sizzle right there.

00:45:26He's switching it in very tight right here.

00:45:28He's switching it in tight right there.

00:45:29On that neck, too.

00:45:30He's still working on the neck area of Chris Benoit.

00:45:32That's right.

00:45:33Did you give Randy Orton some points on his neck?

00:45:35I did tell him the weakest points of Chris Benoit.

00:45:37Get some oxygen down here to give him a big breath.

00:45:39I told Randy Orton exactly what points to work on, what pressure points to hit.

00:45:43What does he want to knock it?

00:45:45What does he want to hit it?

00:45:46What do you want to take this guy down there?

00:45:47I pretty much told him everything that I got and all the knowledge in my head right now.

00:45:52He's executing it.

00:45:53Beautiful.

00:45:54But remember, Randy Orton beat Chris Benoit for the World Heavyweight Championship two years

00:45:56ago without your help, so he'd probably do it again anyway.

00:45:58Well, that's what we're working with.

00:46:00That's why I chose him for the job.

00:46:01That's why I chose him right now.

00:46:03Chris Benoit, he just reversed it, took the side headlock right back.

00:46:06You gotta give it to Benoit.

00:46:08Benoit's very pugnacious, tenacious.

00:46:10He never quit.

00:46:11He's a tough competitor.

00:46:12Take nothing away from Chris Benoit.

00:46:13This guy's tenacious.

00:46:14Trust me, he's one of the best in the business.

00:46:16I know, I know.

00:46:17He's been all over the world.

00:46:18He's worked in Japan.

00:46:19He's won.

00:46:20Oh my God, look out, Chris Benoit.

00:46:21Benoit sent him over the top rope.

00:46:22He just took, he just went, went over the top rope.

00:46:25Yeah, right.

00:46:26Easy, look easy.

00:46:27Okay, easy, baby, easy.

00:46:29Hey, Taz, why don't you rub it?

00:46:31Don't hurt yourself, baby.

00:46:32Why don't you shut up, Cole?

00:46:33This guy's hurt over here.

00:46:34You're making jokes.

00:46:35You think it's funny?

00:46:36I don't mind.

00:46:37The guy's hurt.

00:46:38You think it's funny at all?

00:46:39I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.

00:46:40You gotta get some ice on that, Randy Orton.

00:46:42Oh!

00:46:43Night face chopped by Benoit.

00:46:44Night face chopped by Benoit.

00:46:45Night face chopped by Benoit.

00:46:46Oh, big upper cut by Randy Orton.

00:46:48Randy just knocked him out of his boots.

00:46:50Watch out.

00:46:51And he's gonna come over here.

00:46:52Oh, wait a minute.

00:46:53He just gave Benoit a little house call right there.

00:46:56He wanted to show him what Booker T was all about.

00:46:59And he came right over in my face, and he showed it.

00:47:01Now he's gonna, wait a minute.

00:47:03Hey, Cole, what do we need to hear?

00:47:05What do we need to hear?

00:47:06What is doing?

00:47:07He just hit Benoit with a suplex on the rail, and trust me,

00:47:11under that rail is a steel beam, you know, and it's got it.

00:47:17It's about two inches of head right there.

00:47:19Randy should have just left him out right there and let him get downed out.

00:47:22That's what I would have did right there, but he doesn't wanna do that.

00:47:25He's your man.

00:47:26Run over there and tell him, Coach.

00:47:27This is the legend killer Randy Orton, and he's gonna do this by any means.

00:47:30That's right.

00:47:31He's gonna do it his way.

00:47:32Get that tie for Christmas.

00:47:33I love that new tie you got.

00:47:34Thank you very much.

00:47:35Wait a minute.

00:47:36Here's the cover by Orton.

00:47:37Shoulders are down.

00:47:38He may have been one.

00:47:39A kick out two count.

00:47:40One count away from Booker TV in the United States Championship.

00:47:43But you're a cheerleader here tonight.

00:47:44I've never heard you act like that.

00:47:45You're like the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders out here.

00:47:47He's got that real chin lock, that real naked choke.

00:47:49What you trying to say, Michael?

00:47:50He's got that real naked choke.

00:47:51You wanna point out he's got a bloody nose.

00:47:52Randy Orton, he is bleeding, but his nose is bleeding.

00:47:55It's important to point that out.

00:47:56One thing about Randy, we're talking about the nose bleeding.

00:47:58That's what I'm saying.

00:47:59We're looking at a little bit of blood Randy Orton has right now.

00:48:02And we remember just a few weeks ago, he went through hell in the cell.

00:48:06This man bled.

00:48:07This man bled, and he kept coming at The Undertaker.

00:48:09And trust me, The Undertaker is no joke.

00:48:12This guy, I mean, in the hell in the cell.

00:48:14I wouldn't wanna walk that, I wouldn't wanna walk that path.

00:48:17But Randy Orton, he did it, and he did it to the best of his life.

00:48:20Come on Randy.

00:48:21Even though he didn't come out on top, he's still a man.

00:48:23And I can respect that.

00:48:24So let me get this straight.

00:48:26You're gonna be- He just missed the neck.

00:48:27Did you see that?

00:48:28He just missed the neck of Chris Benoit.

00:48:29Did you see that?

00:48:30Here's the cover.

00:48:31He got it.

00:48:32Wait a minute, the pain.

00:48:33Look, you gotta call the covers,

00:48:34because you may win the championship there.

00:48:36Right there, the pain of Chris Benoit.

00:48:38He just missed the neck.

00:48:39The pain of Chris Benoit right now, he could be in so much excruciating pain.

00:48:43So you're actually gonna be happy.

00:48:44The referee is not doing his job by asking Chris Benoit if you wanna give up.

00:48:48Referee, do your job for God's sake.

00:48:51So Booker, you're gonna be real proud of yourself if you win the title here tonight,

00:48:54if Orton actually wins the match.

00:48:55You damn skippy.

00:48:57That is such a stupid question.

00:48:58Isn't this stupid question, Charmell?

00:49:00This is what I deal with week after all.

00:49:01How did you get this job, Michael?

00:49:03You can hear these jobs all the way through the building.

00:49:07He chopped him down with that job right there.

00:49:09Hey, Booker, I got a better question.

00:49:11After you win the United States title tonight, do you get to give Randy a shot at it?

00:49:15Perhaps.

00:49:16I'm a fighting champion.

00:49:17That was a pretty good question.

00:49:18I don't talk to anybody.

00:49:19I'm sure you didn't come up with it on your own.

00:49:21He just hit it with that suplex.

00:49:22Randy on hold on.

00:49:23Watch out, watch out.

00:49:24The German suplexes.

00:49:25He's going for that triple.

00:49:26He's gonna go for that triple.

00:49:28You know what it's like to tap out to the crossface, Booker.

00:49:33You did it in Armageddon.

00:49:34It already may do it here tonight.

00:49:35Come on, Randy.

00:49:36Come on, Randy.

00:49:37Randy's in trouble.

00:49:38Come on, Randy.

00:49:39He's in trouble, Booker.

00:49:40Fight it, Randy.

00:49:41How do you combat this, Booker?

00:49:42Don't do it, Randy.

00:49:43Randy's in trouble, Booker.

00:49:44Don't look at a tap out to the crossface.

00:49:46Come on, lock it in, Chris.

00:49:47Don't you do it, Randy.

00:49:48Lock it in, Chris.

00:49:49Don't give up, Randy.

00:49:50Come on.

00:49:51Remember about your legacy.

00:49:53He's got it.

00:49:54He's got it.

00:49:55He's got it.

00:49:56He's got it.

00:49:57He's got out.

00:49:58Come on, Randy.

00:49:59You gotta fight.

00:50:00He doesn't have it.

00:50:01Randy's trying to get to those holes.

00:50:02Randy's trying to get to those holes.

00:50:03Come on now.

00:50:04Randy, he got it.

00:50:05Randy gets to the ropes right there.

00:50:07Trust me, that little transition right there, it has me breathing real heavy.

00:50:12I'm feeling what Randy's doing.

00:50:13I think it's cuz you're talking a mile a minute.

00:50:15I'm feeling what Randy.

00:50:16Wait a minute.

00:50:17Watch out.

00:50:18Look out, Randy.

00:50:20Look out, Randy.

00:50:21Look out, Randy, for God's sake.

00:50:27Benoit trying to stay alive in the race for the United States Championship.

00:50:31Who's gonna win a turn?

00:50:35We are back on SmackDown.

00:50:37Chris Benoit versus Randy Orton.

00:50:39Orton, the substitute for an injured Booker T here tonight in the best of seven

00:50:42series for the United States Championship.

00:50:44Whoever we play.

00:50:45We play.

00:50:46Oh.

00:50:48Look at that.

00:50:51Just now, I've been on the other end of that.

00:50:52It feels like a spear going right into the heart.

00:50:55The first time I can remember in history that a champion can be crowned without even having

00:50:59to wrestle the match in the ring.

00:51:00If Randy Orton wins tonight, Booker T will win the best of seven series and win the United

00:51:05States Championship.

00:51:06Benoit must win to make it three to two in the best of seven series.

00:51:10That was nasty right there.

00:51:11He just shot him right into that.

00:51:13And again into the steel post.

00:51:17Like I said earlier, seems like he's trying to separate that shoulder.

00:51:20He's trying to immobilize Chris Benoit where he won't be able to get that crossface.

00:51:25I agree, and that's a good point, trying to eliminate that arm.

00:51:28And again, here's that shoulder.

00:51:30Checked out this impact.

00:51:32Listen to this.

00:51:33Listen.

00:51:34My God.

00:51:35A lot of impact.

00:51:36If you notice the impact on that, we got some of the best in the world.

00:51:41Showing replays and stuff like that around here.

00:51:43I mean, we got some of the best technical guys in the world around here.

00:51:46To get up that footage that quick and get it back to our viewing audience.

00:51:51That's unbelievable.

00:51:52What are you a technician?

00:51:54Well, at Armageddon, when you tapped out to the crossface at Armageddon,

00:51:59I'll tell you, the producers in the truck, they got that replay up just like that.

00:52:02Let's show Chris Benoit getting back in the game.

00:52:04One thing about me, you know, I'm a man.

00:52:06One thing I can't say.

00:52:07Chris Benoit, he fought, you know, to the last.

00:52:09He hit him with that Andrew Geary kick right on the back.

00:52:12Big time.

00:52:13Come on, Randy.

00:52:14And now Randy's out though.

00:52:15And Chris Benoit, if he can capitalize here.

00:52:17He caught him right on the base of the cranium with that Andrew Geary kick.

00:52:20Randy, you gotta wake up.

00:52:21I'll tell you what, Booker, you better worry about this, my friend.

00:52:23Check out what just happened.

00:52:24Come on Randy.

00:52:25I don't know, did I get a replay of that?

00:52:26Yeah, here it is.

00:52:27Did I get a replay of that?

00:52:28Watch this.

00:52:29God.

00:52:30He hears the cover.

00:52:31Look at him.

00:52:32I almost had him.

00:52:33So now you're a doctor.

00:52:34First you're a technician, then you're a producer, now you're a doctor.

00:52:36Why are you worried about him, Michael?

00:52:37You jealous?

00:52:38I'm not jealous at all.

00:52:39He did tell me earlier he is jealous of both of you, actually, and your relationship.

00:52:42Come on.

00:52:43Randy Orton right now, he's in a very bad way.

00:52:46Chris Benoit is on top of him.

00:52:48He flayed in those kicks.

00:52:49Well, not just Orton, Booker, you're also in a bad way, cuz if Benoit wins here, he's

00:52:53only down 3-2.

00:52:54Like I said, don't worry about me.

00:52:55Wait a minute.

00:52:56Wait a minute.

00:52:57That could be it, right here.

00:52:58Cover him, Randy.

00:52:59Cover him, Randy.

00:53:00He's done.

00:53:01You can count.

00:53:02Here we go.

00:53:03You can count.

00:53:04You're starting to sweat a little bit now, my man.

00:53:08I don't blame you either.

00:53:09Let me tell you something.

00:53:10I'd be nervous.

00:53:11Let me tell you something.

00:53:12What?

00:53:13Let me tell you something.

00:53:14What?

00:53:15Right now, my heart's racing like a racehorse, man.

00:53:16Right now, I got so much anxiety.

00:53:17I'm wishing I was in that square circle, right?

00:53:20All right.

00:53:21You know, if I didn't have these, my doctor didn't tell me to fight.

00:53:24Watch out.

00:53:25Come on, Randy's gonna fight.

00:53:26Hold on, Randy's up top of him.

00:53:28Oh!

00:53:29It's with a crossbody.

00:53:30God.

00:53:31It could be the opening Benoit needs.

00:53:32Come on, no.

00:53:33Randy, come on now.

00:53:34Oh, watch out!

00:53:35Look out, Randy.

00:53:36Come on, Randy.

00:53:37Come on, block it, Randy.

00:53:38It's Benoit.

00:53:39How'd you know I was gonna do that?

00:53:40I taught him that.

00:53:41Oh, wow.

00:53:42Come on.

00:53:43Watch that belly to belly.

00:53:44Watch that belly to belly.

00:53:45Watch out.

00:53:46Snap suplexes.

00:53:48Look at that.

00:53:50Look at that.

00:53:51Come on, Randy.

00:53:52Oh, to Eddie Guerrero and the Three Amigos.

00:53:55Don't let him get that trifecta.

00:53:56No.

00:53:57He got it.

00:53:58Right there.

00:53:59He's probably gonna go for that suicide bomb.

00:54:01He's gonna go up.

00:54:02I know he's feeling it.

00:54:03He's gonna go for that suicide dive.

00:54:06And if Randy doesn't get out of the way, this could be it.

00:54:09He's gonna be in.

00:54:10You're in trouble.

00:54:11Randy, you gotta move.

00:54:12Randy Orts is gonna move out of the way.

00:54:13Randy Orts is gonna move out of the way.

00:54:14Randy Orts gonna move on a lift.

00:54:15Randy Orts.

00:54:16You are in trouble, man.

00:54:17I'm telling you.

00:54:18Come on, Randy.

00:54:19Don't let him get up there.

00:54:20Randy, Randy.

00:54:21Randy, Randy, Randy.

00:54:22Don't let him get up there.

00:54:23Benoit's gonna fly.

00:54:24Watch out.

00:54:25My god.

00:54:26He rolled out of the way.

00:54:27The Legend that Randy was playing possum the whole time.

00:54:31Randy sits there, he lured him in, just like a serpent, he lured him in.

00:54:37Like a serpent.

00:54:39And now he's gonna finish him.

00:54:41He's gonna hit him with that hard KO, and we're gonna walk out of here, the dude.

00:54:45Booker, that's what we need to get a hard attack out of here, relax.

00:54:47God, it'd be a shame if he lost his voice.

00:54:49Hey, look at this, VanWalk going for the sharpshooter.

00:54:52You gotta roll through right there, there you go.

00:54:54Just like I said, if you roll through, now he's gonna shock him.

00:54:57That was a nice counter by Randy.

00:54:58He's gonna hit him with that hard KO.

00:55:01He was being set off, countered, he switched.

00:55:03No, he's going for that hard KO.

00:55:05He's got that hard KO.

00:55:06He's got that hard KO for that cross finish.

00:55:08He's got locked in.

00:55:09Oh, my God, he's got cross finish.

00:55:12Wait a minute.

00:55:13Wait a minute.

00:55:14Wait a minute.

00:55:15What the hell is he?

00:55:16Wait a minute, Charles.

00:55:17Charles, Charles.

00:55:18The hell out of the cross across the stand?

00:55:19A fan just jumped in the ring.

00:55:21That's not a fear, Chris Binoa.

00:55:22Wow.

00:55:23What the hell is going on here?

00:55:25A fan just made by the audience.

00:55:28As a result of a disqualification.

00:55:30That's Charmelle.

00:55:31Chris Binoa.

00:55:32What is he doing up there?

00:55:33But Chris Binoa.

00:55:34What a matchup.

00:55:35Chris Binoa.

00:55:36Why did you do that, Charmelle?

00:55:37Chris Binoa is now only down 3-2 in the best of seven series.

00:55:42Chris Binoa is back in the game, down 3-2.

00:55:47I put a turn of a bench here, Colton.

00:55:49Benoit's got the cross face.

00:55:50Look, it looked like Randy Orton was about to tap out.

00:55:53And Charmelle with that crutch across the skull of Benoit.

00:55:56See Orton's hand about to tap out.

00:55:58Oh, my God, right across the top of the head.

00:56:01Look at the face of Charmelle talking about a Hellcat.

00:56:04And I'm shocked, I can't believe this just went down.

00:56:08Benoit told he got the victory by Hooper Crook.

00:56:12With an RKO to Chris Binoa.

00:56:17Wow.

00:56:19My Lord, what an RKO.

00:56:22Chris Binoa has pulled the win in 3-2.

00:56:27With a pull.

00:56:29In the best of seven series for the United States Championship, but in what cost?

00:56:45That's what I'm saying, man.

00:56:47Randy Orton with a hellacious RKO from behind him.

00:56:51I guess we'll never know if Randy Orton would have won or lost a match.

00:56:58And Charmelle was gonna tap out, but thanks to Charmelle.

00:57:02She's gonna appear to crack Benoit across the Benoit's head open.

00:57:07That crust.

00:57:08Well, let's take another look.

00:57:09It looked like Orton may have been close to tapping out here.

00:57:12It was going to tap.

00:57:13And then Charmelle with a crutch to the skull, brusting Chris Benoit open.

00:57:17Benoit's pulled it within 3-2 in the best of seven series, but like we said, Taz, at what cost?

00:57:22I don't know, man, oh man.

00:57:24Well, ladies and gentlemen, still to come on this wild edition of Friday Night SmackDown.

00:57:27The tag team titles are on the line.

00:57:30New champions versus the old champions.

00:57:32The question is, is how will Batista be affected by the shocking news that he's being sued for sexual harassment by Molina?

00:57:41We'll find out tonight.

00:57:43This is SmackDown number one announcer.

00:57:53And please welcome my guest at this time, the new Cruiserweight Champion of the world, Kid Cash.

00:58:04Well, that's right, ladies and gentlemen, Kid Cash is indeed the new Cruiserweight Champion.

00:58:09And it all took place just a couple of weeks ago at Armageddon.

00:58:14Kid Cash taking the WWE by storm.

00:58:17Shocking juventude to win the Cruiserweight Championship.

00:58:21Watch this.

00:58:22That brain bust on which Kid Cash falls dead level, and that thing is deadly.

00:58:27Tell you what, Kid Cash is the Cruiserweight champ in a serious way.

00:58:32Impressive.

00:58:33Ladies and gentlemen, the new Cruiserweight Champion of all time, Kid Cash.

00:58:58That have been defeated.

00:59:01He's held the title for like 11 days.

00:59:03Hold on, you people don't mean that.

00:59:06You people should be worshiping the ground that I walk on right now.

00:59:13The only reason that you're acting like that is because I defeated a nobody for this title.

00:59:21I mean, let's face it.

00:59:23What in the world is a juventude?

00:59:26You know, I've been asking around to everybody, and nobody seems to know what a juventude is.

00:59:34So I looked in the dictionary, and you know what it means?

00:59:38It means a Mexican salamander.

00:59:43Salamander.

00:59:46So that tells me that we had a Mexican salamander as the WWE Cruiserweight Champion.

00:59:55You gotta be kidding me.

00:59:59Is there anyone around here that isn't foreign?

01:00:08Hey, let's take you for example, sushi boy.

01:00:18Sushi boy.

01:00:20You know, it's obvious that you couldn't make it as a wrestler.

01:00:24So now you're out here trying to make it as an announcer?

01:00:34I know you used to be the Cruiserweight Champion.

01:00:39But that day's over.

01:00:42There's a new day dawning, and it's the day of the notorious KID, Kid Cash.

01:00:51And this is as close to the Cruiserweight title that you're ever gonna get again.

01:01:00Get it?

01:01:02Got it?

01:01:04Good.

01:01:08Hey!

01:01:09What the hell was that?

01:01:12Coach Karnaki in the face of- Come on now!

01:01:15No!

01:01:16No!

01:01:17What?

01:01:18No!

01:01:19Not on the damn stage!

01:01:20You gotta be keeping the dead level, that Brain Buster on the stage!

01:01:26The hell is wrong with this guy?

01:01:28You suck!

01:01:30Kid Cash, man.

01:01:31He's a Cruiserweight Champion.

01:01:33He's a fool!

01:01:34You suck!

01:01:35You suck!

01:01:36You suck!

01:01:37You suck!

01:01:38You suck!

01:01:39You suck!

01:01:40You suck!

01:01:41You suck!

01:01:42You suck!

01:01:43You suck!

01:01:44You suck!

01:01:45You suck!

01:01:46You suck!

01:01:47You suck!

01:01:48The riots, the bloodstained streets, it can harden a man's soul.

01:01:55My family lived through it all.

01:01:58They did what they had to do to survive.

01:02:02Here in Belfast, words come cheap.

01:02:06We settle things like man.

01:02:11My name's Finlay.

01:02:12Some people call me a fighting Irish bastard.

01:02:17Not to my face.

01:02:32And the WWE tag team title stills on the line later tonight.

01:02:37But ladies and gentlemen, a week from today, I can't wait.

01:02:40Hostile is in theaters, Quentin Tarantino's new flick.

01:02:43Man, I love anything by Quentin Tarantino, no doubt about it.

01:02:46But check it out.

01:02:47Let's talk about Kane for a minute.

01:02:49Yeah, prior to Hostile, you can see Kane's C-No Evil trailer premiere.

01:02:53The world premiere of Kane's new movie, The Trailer.

01:02:57I just had a sneak peek of this, it is awesome.

01:02:59Oh, I know.

01:03:01Ladies and gentlemen, just as soon as I get the opportunity,

01:03:04I will get word from Batista regarding Molina's sexual harassment charges.

01:03:15It makes me sick that I'm not spending the New Year's

01:03:22in a great city like Paris, or even better, Montreal.

01:03:29Now, I'm here in front of you, ugly Americans.

01:03:36So, I'm, don't even start.

01:03:46USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

01:03:57So, I make a New Year's resolution for all of you people.

01:04:02It's to appreciate the magnificence, the beauty of me, Sylvain.

01:04:12The most handsome athlete in WWE history.

01:04:19My!

01:04:28Those good looks might get beat up.

01:04:31Feet up.

01:04:33God, look at that.

01:04:38Following contest is scheduled for one fall.

01:04:43Making his way to the ring from Colorado Springs, Colorado.

01:04:47Weighing in at 273 pounds, Bobby Lashley.

01:04:52As an amateur wrestler, former All-American, former national champion,

01:04:56and Sylvain realizes Lashley is undefeated here in the WWE.

01:04:59Is this good strategy for Sylvain?

01:05:05Yes, yes, yes, I think it is good strategy.

01:05:08Let me take that back.

01:05:09No, no, no, it's not.

01:05:10Well, maybe it is, I don't know.

01:05:11And Sylvain whipped into the corner.

01:05:13Here's Lashley with a big shoulder to the gut of Sylvain.

01:05:17And another shoulder by Lashley, who is put together like a brick wall, ladies and gentlemen.

01:05:24Television does not do justice, man.

01:05:27He is an absolute moose.

01:05:30Well, I'll tell you, that Lashley is, he is so, he has got all the tools, all the ingredients.

01:05:38And you see Sylvain is dipping out of the problem here.

01:05:43Lashley's got all the ingredients to be a, you know, a mega, mega star here.

01:05:47And I mean, he's a WWE superstar for sure, but he's got all the tools, both sides, spread, speed, ability,

01:05:53you know, technique, you know, credibility.

01:05:56Watch this, watch this.

01:05:57Belly-to-belly throw by Lashley.

01:05:59With ease, with ease, that belly-to-belly pops his hip so quick.

01:06:03And again, Sylvain, getting out of dodge, wants nothing to do with Lashley.

01:06:07I think Sylvain's doing his revolution is to have some guts.

01:06:10It's actually a resolution, not a revolution.

01:06:12Yeah, you got one?

01:06:13Yeah, you got one.

01:06:14What?

01:06:15A resolution.

01:06:16A resolution?

01:06:17Yeah, we're sure it's to shoot.

01:06:18Ah, well.

01:06:19Get it, my face!

01:06:20Somebody hit me in my face!

01:06:21Give me my face!

01:06:22He's upset that Lashley hit him in the face, and I believe Sylvain's leaving.

01:06:27Ten!

01:06:28Count it, count it out!

01:06:30Nobody hit me in my face!

01:06:31His face, what the hell is that?

01:06:33The winner of this match has the result of a count out, Bobby Lashley!

01:06:38Well, Lashley remains undefeated, and I guess SmackDown's a self-proclaimed massive consult.

01:06:43The former model didn't want his facial expression messed up.

01:06:47Well, that's probably a good thing to do to get out of the ring with a guy like Lashley.

01:06:51By the way, my resolution is just in 2006.

01:06:54I'm gonna attempt to be taller.

01:06:59Ladies and gentlemen, the World Heavyweight Champion and one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Batista.

01:07:07Not much, champ.

01:07:08I gotta ask you though, do you have any response to Molina's shocking sexual harassment accusations against you from earlier tonight?

01:07:16That's ridiculous.

01:07:17I think you're gonna have to just consider the source on that.

01:07:19But yeah, I'm not gonna worry about that.

01:07:20Tonight, I got a big night, big match.

01:07:22I need to stay focused on showing everybody why me and Rey Mysterio, Mr. 619, are the WWE Tag Team Champions.

01:07:29Well, Batista indeed needs to stay focused, but that may be easier said than done.

01:07:36Nonetheless, coming up next, ladies and gentlemen, Batista and Mysterio against the old champs of M&M Tag Team Titles on the line.

01:07:44Next.

01:07:48We are back on SmackDown.

01:07:49Let's take you back to breaking news earlier tonight.

01:07:52Molina with this announcement.

01:07:54I am here to announce that I will be officially suing one David Batista.

01:08:03Suing him for sexual harassment.

01:08:15And moments ago, you heard the response by Batista.

01:08:22He just said consider the source and he says he's focused on defending the tag team titles against M&M here tonight.

01:08:31The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

01:08:41Finishing birth to challengers from Los Angeles, California, and a combined weight of 440 pounds.

01:08:49Mercury, Nitro, and Molina.

01:08:52M&M!

01:08:53M&M!

01:08:54M&M!

01:08:55M&M!

01:08:56So, Taz, we've asked the question of how these charges would affect Batista.

01:08:59My question to you is, how is this situation going to affect Lina here tonight?

01:09:03We've seen how instrumental she's been in helping M&M in these matches in the past.

01:09:07Already, I mean, right out of the box and all of it.

01:09:09She had Lina not doing her usual edge as she usually does out here, and it's a shame.

01:09:15It's a shame.

01:09:16You know, it's a shame.

01:09:17Will this affect M&M psychologically?

01:09:18I, I, I, I don't, I don't know.

01:09:21I don't, I don't know.

01:09:22I don't think it'll affect M&M.

01:09:23I think it's gotta affect at least I, in my opinion.

01:09:26I don't know.

01:09:27Well, SmackDown is sponsored by Burger King, who remind you to have it your way.

01:09:32And by Grandma's Boy, January 6th only in theaters.

01:09:38I'm waiting for a line that I can speak on you right now, but I won't do that.

01:09:42We're gonna do what we've done for you.

01:09:45And from San Diego, California, weighing in at 170 pounds,

01:10:02he is one half of the tag team champions, Rey Mysterio.

01:10:09And there's only one place in the world on a Friday night

01:10:13and you can see the man, the caliber of an athlete that Rey Mysterio is.

01:10:17And that's right here on Friday Night SmackDown.

01:10:22It was two weeks ago here on Friday Night SmackDown

01:10:25that the all-star team of Rey Mysterio and Matista

01:10:29shot Eminem to win the tag team title.

01:10:33Definitely was a shocking moment, no doubt about it.

01:10:36And I saw a little lace, uh, X-Smith skin.

01:10:40Christmas skin.

01:10:41I'm trying to get a little shit out of here for that young man.

01:10:44He's going to see up Mysterio.

01:10:46Rey Mysterio may have to control the mindset of his team here tonight

01:10:51to keep his partner, Matista, focused on the task at hand

01:10:54with everything that has happened in this episode of Friday Night SmackDown.

01:11:02Melina, she's, uh, she's acting different, Cole.

01:11:06I mean, she is.

01:11:07She's obvious.

01:11:07And his partner from Washington, D.C., weighing in at 300 pounds

01:11:17is one-half of the tag team champions

01:11:20and the world heavyweight champion,

01:11:24Matista.

01:11:26What an ovation for the world heavyweight champ one-half of the world tag team champs.

01:11:43Okay, partner, you've been inside the square and circle.

01:11:46Tremendous success when you did wrestle as he sees.

01:11:49Melina and Eminem looking concerned over Batista's entrance.

01:11:52I've got to ask you a question.

01:11:53Batista can tell us all he wants, that he's not worried about this lawsuit,

01:11:57that he's not focusing on it right now.

01:11:58But as an athlete, is it in the back of your mind as you're heading into battle,

01:12:02something of some circumstance that you have no control of outside of the ring?

01:12:06No, you know, Cole, I think you're making way too much of this.

01:12:08Really, I really do.

01:12:09I mean, I appreciate you asking me, but I think you're making way too much of Batista.

01:12:15Batista looks like Batista.

01:12:17He's ready to go.

01:12:18I mean, believe this is what I believe.

01:12:19He looks like he said.

01:12:21He might just stay to death.

01:12:24It's uncomfortable even to talk about this whole accusation.

01:12:27It's super great.

01:12:28He's looking at Melina.

01:12:31That's not what it's about, I mean.

01:12:33That's what it's all about.

01:12:34The WWE Tag Team Titles, Batista and Mysterio,

01:12:37the champions, Eminem, the challengers.

01:12:40Who's going to start?

01:12:43Let's see who's going to start for Eminem.

01:12:45Looks like Mercury is going to start it.

01:12:49Mercury was telling Batista to get out of the ring.

01:12:51I don't think Batista's getting out because Mercury said so.

01:12:53I'm sure Mysterio and Mercury have a game plan.

01:12:56Sorry, Mysterio and Batista have a game plan for Mysterio to start.

01:13:01Look at what he has in his mouth.

01:13:03For Mercury and Mysterio starting things off.

01:13:05WWE Tag Team Titles on the Nitro.

01:13:07Trying to sneak attack with an elbow for Mysterio.

01:13:10And now Rey Mysterio firing off with the right hands to.

01:13:13Look at this, Joey Mercury up over the top.

01:13:15Roll through Mysterio.

01:13:16Drop kick to the face.

01:13:17Right in the face.

01:13:18Here we go.

01:13:19Cover hook to the leg and a two.

01:13:20Mercury kicked out.

01:13:22That's the small part of the series.

01:13:24Cover really quick.

01:13:26Here comes the World Heavyweight Champion.

01:13:28What happened to Tag Team Champions, the animal, Batista, working on Mercury.

01:13:35Look, look, you need to pull.

01:13:36I mean, I've never seen her like this before.

01:13:39I mean, shying away from her and Batista, cowering in the corner as Mercury is whipped across the ring.

01:13:47And again, you see the effect of Malina.

01:13:49And look at Nitro into the ring.

01:13:51And Batista.

01:13:52Uh-oh, two for the press.

01:13:53Uh-oh, they don't realize.

01:13:54But look at this.

01:13:55Double close line, pancaking.

01:13:57Well, the former Tag Team champs are sitting there, sandwiched amongst each other.

01:14:03And Batista's loose.

01:14:05He's having fun in there as Mysterio comes in off the tag.

01:14:08And look at this.

01:14:09Watch out.

01:14:10Bronco Bustin' time.

01:14:12Actually, Mysterio told me, I'm gonna try and nail a Bronco Bustin' tag.

01:14:16And he wants to rename that bad boy.

01:14:17I don't know what this means.

01:14:18He's called it 1904.

01:14:20Don't know what it means.

01:14:21I'm serious.

01:14:21That's what he's called it.

01:14:22There's some journals.

01:14:23He don't even know what it means.

01:14:24I don't know what the guy needs fire, but that's what he wants.

01:14:26Pooh to the face.

01:14:27Here's Mert.

01:14:27I'll find out.

01:14:28Mysterio off the top.

01:14:30Springboard.

01:14:31Here's the cover.

01:14:32Hook of the leg.

01:14:33And it's Nitro breaking up the three count.

01:14:38I'll tell you, Mysterio and Batista rolling the Tag Team titles on the grabs when we return.

01:14:46And Batista and Mysterio dominating this matchup with the WWE Tag Team titles on the line.

01:14:52Batista, Mysterio, the champions, the former champs, Eminem.

01:14:55The challengers.

01:14:57Batista with a big knee to the gut of Mercury.

01:15:01Mysterio and Batista look good in this matchup so far.

01:15:05Batista looks loose here tonight.

01:15:07Look at this.

01:15:08Mercury, go behind to Batista.

01:15:10Bounces off, bounce, runs into a back elbow.

01:15:12Here's the cover.

01:15:13Forearm and the face kick out at two by Joey Mercury.

01:15:18What do you mean?

01:15:19What do you mean that Batista looks loose?

01:15:20You mean he's not distracted?

01:15:21That's what you mean.

01:15:22Yeah, not distracted at all.

01:15:23It's like anything's bothering him.

01:15:24He's in there defending his Tag Team.

01:15:26Ty Mysterio off the stop rope.

01:15:28Here's the cover.

01:15:29May have him kick out at two and a half.

01:15:33You know, a crowd of Mercury kicking out.

01:15:36Two Nitros, in off the tag.

01:15:42Mysterio, worn down now by Eminem.

01:15:46Watch it, you gotta be careful.

01:15:47I mean, Eminem is very good at that.

01:15:49They will pick one half of the team.

01:15:52Watch out.

01:15:53What the hell?

01:15:53Watch out.

01:15:54Wow.

01:15:55Never know of Mysterio.

01:15:56Mysterio just switched direction in midair.

01:15:58That is what Rey Mysterio is all about in a nutshell, ladies and gentlemen.

01:16:04To use the old pun, he's a human highlight reel.

01:16:07And go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:16:09Look at this, landed on the apron.

01:16:10And Cole, we gotta remember, this is the mandatory rematch cause in Eminem's contract.

01:16:15If they don't, if they don't, if they don't, if they don't gain the WWE Tag Team titles in this match,

01:16:20they might not ever get another opportunity for the title.

01:16:22Rey Mysterio is gonna springboard somehow off the ropes, but watch this.

01:16:26Watch what Nitro does to Mysterio here.

01:16:29Mysterio gonna springboard and watch Nitro.

01:16:33Look at how Mysterio landed.

01:16:35Right on the back of his head.

01:16:36What a high crescent kick, great flexibility.

01:16:40And look at this.

01:16:40Uh-oh.

01:16:41And Mercury's not even the legal man to tear apart the knee of Rey Mysterio.

01:16:47Ever the opportunist is Mercury.

01:16:49Referee's got his back turned.

01:16:51Mysterio, when he landed on the outside, did grab his knee, Cole.

01:16:54So I don't blame Mercury and Nitro.

01:16:57I'm just gonna say, going after that knee, they should.

01:16:59I'll tell you, if you can take out the legs of Rey Mysterio,

01:17:02you take so much out of Mysterio's arsenal.

01:17:05No longer can he climb the ropes, move around the ring, use his speed for quickness.

01:17:09And this is where Eminem is so dangerous.

01:17:11Just a 6-1-9 alone is just building up momentum and speed to spin through those ropes.

01:17:16And then the springboard leg drop off.

01:17:18Yeah, the drop and the dime.

01:17:19Yep.

01:17:20And look at Nitro continuing to torque that knee of Mysterio.

01:17:23This, again, is where Eminem is so dangerous.

01:17:25When they can isolate their opponent, double-team him.

01:17:30Mysterio trying to kick out of this.

01:17:32That's what makes Eminem so dangerous.

01:17:34And that's why they've been so successful in being, you know, former WWE Tag Team Champions.

01:17:39And the frequent tags keeping each other fresh, Mercury backhand.

01:17:42There's the double-team we were talking about.

01:17:44He's also cutting the ring in half here.

01:17:46And here's the cover.

01:17:47There it is.

01:17:48There it is.

01:17:48Both legs this time.

01:17:49And a kick out by Mysterio.

01:17:51So why hook both legs there as opposed to one?

01:17:53Because Mysterio, oh, look at this.

01:17:56Wow.

01:17:56Hold on now.

01:17:57Look at this.

01:17:57That's the injured knee.

01:17:58And look at the way that knee is bent around the neck and head of Mercury.

01:18:01It's a submission hold on that knee.

01:18:04It's not so much the weight on the neck of Mysterio.

01:18:07It's, oh, God, I'll tell you what.

01:18:09Mercury dissected that knee of Rey Mysterio driving his elbow.

01:18:13You know the shot of that.

01:18:14Driving his elbow inside the quad.

01:18:16The quadricep muscle.

01:18:17See that?

01:18:18Look at that elbow right inside the inner knee thigh region.

01:18:21That hurts, man.

01:18:22Mysterio trying to battle out of this.

01:18:23You saw moments ago the way he looked back at his partner, Batista, realizing he's got to

01:18:27make a tag if he can, back to his feet, basically on one leg here, Rey Mysterio,

01:18:32whipped across the ring and he can't even stand up.

01:18:34Can't run, can't walk, can't try and counter, can't do nothing.

01:18:39This could be the beginning of the end here for the championship.

01:18:41Yeah, Eminem could be moments away from capturing the tag team championship for a

01:18:45third time this year.

01:18:47Look at this.

01:18:48Third time, three times in one year.

01:18:49One, two, go.

01:18:52Nitro continuing to pound away on that knee.

01:18:57Look at this.

01:18:59Referee distracted.

01:19:00Mercury, not a legal man, driving the elbow into the knee again.

01:19:04Here's the double, and Nitro over the top rope trying to literally take the knee apart.

01:19:11Hold on, I don't think.

01:19:14Now Melina realized Batista was out.

01:19:16And this show-out crowd chanting for Batista and Mysterio here.

01:19:23These SmackDown fans firmly behind the champions.

01:19:26And here's Nitro, again, stalking Mysterio, kick to the back of the knee.

01:19:32Drop Mysterio to his knees again.

01:19:34Well, Mysterio's best bet is to be right where he got thrown in, is into that ring,

01:19:39where the referee can see what's going on and avoid the double-teaming by Eminem.

01:19:43Seriously, he can't even stand up, guys.

01:19:45He might have tore that knee up, might have blew that knee out, tore up a towel, or rattle,

01:19:49or something like that, but we don't know.

01:19:52Well, now Nitro mocking Rey Mysterio.

01:19:55Referee Jimmy Cuero is just asking Mysterio if he gets to Mysterio, 360 in the air.

01:20:00Here's Nitro.

01:20:02This might be it.

01:20:03A leg, and a kick at it, too.

01:20:05Again, hook both legs, and a kick at it, too, again.

01:20:08If you answer your question from Merrill, you hook both legs to put all the weight in the

01:20:12man, not one leg.

01:20:13Watch this last kick here.

01:20:14Watch that.

01:20:15Right to the back of the knee.

01:20:18That knee is messed up of Mysterio, spinning Mysterio in a circle.

01:20:22Shot blocked to the back of the knee by Mercury.

01:20:24Tag made by Mercury.

01:20:25And Eminem has been dissecting the knee of Mysterio ever since that vicious drop

01:20:30kick by Nitro.

01:20:30Well, I'm telling you, things looking pretty bleak for the champions.

01:20:34Very bleak.

01:20:35Mysterio can't even get anywhere near Batista.

01:20:38Eminem just isolating the injured Mysterio.

01:20:41Sacrificial lamb.

01:20:42That's how Eminem is treating Rey Mysterio right now.

01:20:45Whoa!

01:20:46Driving the knee to the knee of Mysterio.

01:20:48Tag made to Nitro.

01:20:50Three with tags by the former champions.

01:20:52WWE tag team titles are on the line.

01:20:56You can kind of sense, like, Eminem's like, what's next?

01:20:58Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

01:20:59Mysterio, driven into the corner.

01:21:02You can see Eminem thinking in the ring, like, what are we gonna do next to this guy?

01:21:06Watch the angle of Mysterio's leg here, Taz.

01:21:11Yeah!

01:21:12I'll tell you what, this knee wasn't blown out from the beginning of it.

01:21:15It's definitely blown out now, or quite possibly.

01:21:17Mysterio trying to fight back, trying to show that heart that we're doing.

01:21:20One leg, though, look at this.

01:21:21He may not need one left, he's clawing around.

01:21:24Rey Mysterio-

01:21:25How does he do it?

01:21:26On one leg, caught it, Rey.

01:21:27Come on, Rey's almost there, he was almost there.

01:21:30Bubble T.D.T.O.

01:21:32But Rey found a condition to get over to Batista.

01:21:35Can Mysterio get to the animal?

01:21:38SmackDown fans trying to will Mysterio on.

01:21:41Batista trying to get into this matchup.

01:21:46This place is an election.

01:21:47Mysterio keeping his legs away from Eminem.

01:21:49Come on, Rey!

01:21:50And here comes the animal.

01:21:53In the field, the animal's about to be unleashed, man.

01:21:57The world heavyweight champion.

01:21:59Whoa!

01:21:59Mercury, bring it into the corner, and this is what the champ's all about.

01:22:05Intensity, aggressiveness, speed, and power.

01:22:09Oh, what a spear!

01:22:11What a spear by Batista!

01:22:13Look at that, look at Batista!

01:22:14Firebuster!

01:22:16It's the beginning of the end, ladies and gentlemen!

01:22:18Thumbs up call!

01:22:19Thumbs up call!

01:22:23My God, look at Melina.

01:22:25Thumbs up!

01:22:26Thumbs down!

01:22:27Mercury, thanks for coming!

01:22:29And Nitro from behind!

01:22:31Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh!

01:22:33Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, man!

01:22:34And look at Mysterio!

01:22:39Look at that bandit key, can he do with his knee?

01:22:41Mysterio!

01:22:42What the hell?

01:22:42Holy smokes!

01:22:43What a hurricane run up!

01:22:45The apron to the barricade!

01:22:46And Rey's hurt though, Cole, he's hurt on the outside.

01:22:50Rey sacrificed himself.

01:22:51Two legal men are in the ring, and the referee knocked down!

01:22:54Referee knocked down on the running power slam!

01:22:57There's no referee!

01:22:58This matchup should be over, but the ref was inadvertently knocked down!

01:23:03Sure was, and Batista had the victory right there over Mercury.

01:23:07The referee got clocked pretty hard, I couldn't see.

01:23:12Look at the face of his head.

01:23:13And here's Mercury from behind on Batista.

01:23:16That might not do it, you gotta get more on him than that one.

01:23:21Look at Mercury, uh-oh!

01:23:22Yeah, Batista slinging Mercury to the mat.

01:23:25Man, Batista is setting him up!

01:23:28Watch out!

01:23:29What?

01:23:31The hell?

01:23:33My God!

01:23:34My God!

01:23:41What the hell is he doing here?

01:23:43Mark Henry?

01:23:44Where the hell did he come from?

01:23:46The world's strongest man!

01:23:49What the hell are we seeing here?

01:24:14a 300-pound Batista over his head!

01:24:17I have never seen anyone manhandle Dave Batista, the way we just saw Mark Henry, the world's strongest man!

01:24:27Dude, he just did, to Batista.

01:24:29Batista man, fractured ribs!

01:24:34Has Batista met his match or what?

01:24:37What the hell?

01:24:38Batista struggling to catch his button, and look at Molina, Molina getting Mercury to crawl toward the cover!

01:24:45The referee didn't, he never saw what happened!

01:24:47No, no, no, not like this!

01:24:48The referee never saw what happened!

01:24:49No, no, no, no!

01:24:50My God!

01:24:51What the hell is going on?

01:24:52No!

01:24:53M&M with the tag team title!

01:25:10I cannot believe what has transpired here tonight!

01:25:13What is Mark Henry doing out here?

01:25:16Was he helping M&M?

01:25:35Batista going for the victory, and from out of nowhere, the world's strongest man!

01:25:41No one expected it, especially Batista!
