00:00:00Tonight, Rock, you're gonna have the shortest reign of any WWF champion in history.

00:00:22Because tonight, Rock, inside the steel cage, you will defend the World Wrestling Federation Championship against my son, Shane.

00:00:36The Rock says, just bring it.

00:00:39The WWF title will be at stake.

00:00:42The only way to win this match is to escape the cage.

00:00:45Hey, look, there you go.

00:00:46Wait a minute.

00:00:47Patterson, oh, on The Rock's face.

00:00:49And Shane trying to make a quick exit.

00:00:51Climb, Shane, climb.

00:00:52Well, The Rock made a smackdown on Shane McMahon, but there's a master plan here.

00:00:57The door's open.

00:00:58Look at this.

00:00:59Trying to pull his son out the door.

00:01:00It's a tug of war over the WWF.

00:01:03Wait a minute.

00:01:04Wait a minute.

00:01:04Patterson, that old fool.

00:01:06And Shane from behind.

00:01:08Patterson was distracting The Rock.

00:01:10Shane being exhorted to climb over the top of the cage.

00:01:13Just a little more.

00:01:14And become the WWF champion.

00:01:16The Rock's gonna get Shane off the top of the cage.

00:01:19He's that way out.

00:01:20They're in dangerous territory up here.

00:01:22Oh, look how high they are.

00:01:24Oh.

00:01:24Oh, Shane's head.

00:01:26He's at that motor.

00:01:27Shane McMahon's unconscious.

00:01:28They're rocking out.

00:01:29Oh, Patterson there.

00:01:31But now, referee's trying to stand.

00:01:32Patterson wants to score.

00:01:35And Patterson does it.

00:01:37Patterson's trying to stand.

00:01:38Oh, the top of the cage.

00:01:40You put your head in.

00:01:41Breaking the hand.

00:01:42Rock's in the room.

00:01:44Oh.

00:01:45Yeah.

00:01:45Rock Potter.

00:01:46Rock Potter looks amazing.

00:01:48The Rock's gonna Shane by the hair.

00:01:50Shane's that close to the club with the WWF champion.

00:01:53And his feet then pulling down.

00:01:55Pull up.

00:01:56Portable Shane back inside.

00:01:59Yeah.

00:01:59Oh, my God.

00:02:01Perfect.

00:02:02My face.

00:02:03He's been looking.

00:02:04Shane leaving his back.

00:02:06And there's a goal.

00:02:07Pressing the front door on the Rock's head.

00:02:10But he opened it for Triple H to get in.

00:02:12Triple H with one arm.

00:02:14The Rock has made the batter and tied by the game.

00:02:18Hey, wait a minute, JR.

00:02:19Look at this.

00:02:20Oh.

00:02:21Hander from behind.

00:02:22Ram just going to the cage.

00:02:24Triple H is trying to drag Shane outside.

00:02:27Oh.

00:02:28Patterson's the goal.

00:02:30On the game's head.

00:02:31McMahon is chasing Earl Hander.

00:02:33The Rock is up.

00:02:35The Rock.

00:02:36Can't even make it.

00:02:39Oh.

00:02:40Yes.

00:02:41Yes.

00:02:42Yes.

00:02:43There may be hell to pay for Earl Hander.

00:02:46But The Rock has done a fatal bullet.

00:02:50Look at the face of Vince McMahon.

00:02:51His dream has been shattered.

00:02:53But that bullseye is still on the test of The Rock.

00:02:57The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:02:58The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:02:59The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:00The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:01The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:02The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:03The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:04The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:05The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:06The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:07The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:08The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:09The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:10The Rock is still on the test of The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:11The Rock is still on the test of The Rock is still on the test of The Rock.

00:03:42And what do Mr. McMahon and company have planned for The Rock?

00:03:52Welcome to WWF SmackDown from the sold out Richmond Coliseum in Richmond,

00:03:57Virginia, Michael Cole, Jerry the King Lover, and ringside.

00:04:06Ladies and gentlemen, let me first introduce the referee,

00:04:10Richmond's own Earl Hedner.

00:04:13Oh, please, Michael, what is this?

00:04:15It's Richmond's own Earl Hedner reinstated by Lyndon McMahon earlier this week.

00:04:20I can't believe he's got his own entrance here.

00:04:23Who does he think he is?

00:04:24With that smirk on his face.

00:04:26Earl Hedner is the man who played a drastic role in The Rocks regaining the title Sunday,

00:04:31involving the McMahon-Helsley regime's plans on Raw this past Monday.

00:04:35Let's face it, entrances are for stars, not referees.

00:04:38Yeah!

00:04:39Kicking off SmackDown, the Intercontinental title is on the line.

00:04:45A rematch after a spectacular match at Backlash.

00:04:48Y2J, Chris Jericho, the challenger, against Chris Benoit.

00:05:00Tremendous ovation from Y2J.

00:05:03One ball, and it is for the World Wrestling Generation Intercontinental Championship.

00:05:09It's your team, the challenger of Winnipeg, Canada.

00:05:13Weigh in at Jordan's one centipede, Chris Jericho.

00:05:19Okay, Chris Jericho came within a hair of winning the Intercontinental Championship.

00:05:23In fact, last this past Sunday, a tremendous match against Chris Benoit.

00:05:27Yeah, but he doesn't get it done, look at that, he had to use, Y2J had to use that championship belt

00:05:33out in the face of Chris Benoit, a complete disqualification.

00:05:38Well, a championship belt brought in the ring by Chris Benoit,

00:05:41but nonetheless, a complete disqualification.

00:05:44Chris Benoit retains the title.

00:05:46Now, after the matchup, Chris Jericho put referee Tim White in the walls of Jericho,

00:05:50and because of those actions, received a $5,000 fine.

00:05:54Well, that's not enough, if you ask me, he should have been suspended, and certainly,

00:05:57this man should not have been forced to put the title on the line again.

00:06:01He is the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion, Chris Benoit.

00:06:12I'll say what you want about Chris Benoit, but he is indeed a fighting Intercontinental Champion,

00:06:18putting the title on the line, not only at Backlash on Sunday, but this past Monday on Raw,

00:06:22and again here tonight, and at Backlash on Sunday, King, Chris Benoit suffered a broken nose.

00:06:30The nose broken when he flew off the top rope and ran into the Intercontinental title.

00:06:35Earl Hebner born and raised here in Richmond, Virginia, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho,

00:06:39Intercontinental title on the line as we kick off SmackDown.

00:06:43Oh, look at this.

00:06:44And look at the intensity between these two great athletes.

00:06:48It was a tremendous match at Backlash.

00:06:50And look at Benoit, slapped across the face and won from Y2J, and here we go.

00:06:55Well, Y2J needs to be punished.

00:06:57Instead, he's been rewarded.

00:06:59I mean, is that any kind of message to send to the children in this country?

00:07:02That had to be another Linda McMahon thing or something.

00:07:04No love lost between these two individuals, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit.

00:07:09And what a clothesline.

00:07:10Nice move.

00:07:10From Benoit.

00:07:12King, referee Earl Hebner officiating this matchup.

00:07:15And what do you think's going through his mind?

00:07:16Do you think he's afraid of possible repercussions tonight at the hands of the McMahon Helmsley regime?

00:07:21He should be afraid of repercussions, but I don't know what's going through his mind.

00:07:25Probably nothing.

00:07:26He is from Richmond, Virginia, you know.

00:07:28He lets his 12-year-old daughter smoke at the table in front of her kids.

00:07:32And listen to the chops from Benoit and Jericho.

00:07:37And a continental title up for grabs as we kick off what should be an explosive smackdown.

00:07:44The Rock is already here, King.

00:07:45We saw the Brahma Bowl earlier on, and the McMahon Helmsley regime is expected to arrive momentarily.

00:07:51Oh, look at this.

00:07:52Oh, what a powerbomb by Jericho and Benoit.

00:07:58And look at Jericho.

00:07:59Oh, yeah.

00:08:02Nice move.

00:08:03The intercontinental champion Chris Benoit putting Jericho through the liggers with a German suplex.

00:08:10One more time.

00:08:12Here's a cover.

00:08:13There's two.

00:08:14And Jericho kicks out before the count of three.

00:08:17Tell you what, Benoit and Jericho are polar opposites.

00:08:21Benoit's stoic.

00:08:23Rarely smiles.

00:08:24Very little to say.

00:08:25And Y2J always with an expression on his face.

00:08:29Always running his mouth with two great athletes in this match.

00:08:35Hey, Chris Benoit methodically picking apart the challenger, Y2J, Chris Jericho.

00:08:42Oh.

00:08:42What a great way to start off SmackDown to be sold out.

00:08:46Richmond Coliseum.

00:08:48Listen to these idiots here in Richmond.

00:08:50What are they saying about Benoit?

00:08:54And some words now between Chris Benoit and Earl Hebner.

00:08:58You know, the furthest out you go, the more tighty mouth these fans get.

00:09:02Reversal, Benoit, the champion, whipped into the corner and a boot to the face of Y2J.

00:09:07Oh, what a spinning heel kick to the chin by Jericho.

00:09:12Remember when we were in Baltimore last Monday?

00:09:14Oh, the fans were off.

00:09:15Hook of the leg.

00:09:16There's two and a kick out by Benoit.

00:09:18And King, Chris Benoit injured that nose when he ran into the championship goal off the top rope on backlash.

00:09:26And it looks like he re-injured it with that spinning heel kick.

00:09:28What do you expect?

00:09:28It was broken.

00:09:31You'd be in the hospital right now.

00:09:32Oh, probably.

00:09:34Nonetheless, Benoit continuing to work on the challenger, Chris Jericho.

00:09:38Again, the People's Champ, the WWF Champion.

00:09:41And The Rock is here on SmackDown.

00:09:43We're expecting the arrival of the McMahon-Helmsley regime.

00:09:48What do you think they have in store for The Rock?

00:09:50Believe me, they'll be here and they'll have something big in store for The Rock.

00:09:53And I'm sure something in store for this moronic Rohebner.

00:09:56The regime will not rest until the World Wrestling Federation title is off the waist of The Rock.

00:10:01Oh, what an elbow to the face of Chris Benoit.

00:10:04Jericho.

00:10:05Oh, a missile drop kick second rope.

00:10:07Did you know Rohebner's been married three times and he's still got the same in-laws?

00:10:10Will you stop?

00:10:11Oh, Richmond, Virginia.

00:10:13Referee Earl Hebner reinstated by Linda McMahon earlier this week.

00:10:17And you know, King, Hebner over the years has refereed some of the greatest matches in WWF history

00:10:23and involved in another great one here tonight.

00:10:26Come on, man.

00:10:27Get up, Benoit.

00:10:28And Y2J really going to work on the face of Chris Benoit.

00:10:31And there's the Bulldog, plenty Benoit face first into the mat.

00:10:34Cover by Jericho.

00:10:35Could have a new champion.

00:10:37Two, and Benoit gets the shoulder up.

00:10:38That's the fastest count I've ever seen, Hebner.

00:10:40Tremendous competitor, Chris Benoit.

00:10:42Well, you mentioned Vince and Linda McMahon.

00:10:44I'd have loved to have been a player on the wall in the McMahon mansion when Vince got home.

00:10:48Oh!

00:10:48What do you think he said to Linda McMahon?

00:10:51I shudder to think.

00:10:53Boy, I'm just thinking the life he's given her.

00:10:55Chris Benoit, Jericho in trouble.

00:10:59Oh, Jericho reverses it, hooks the leg.

00:11:02Two, and Benoit kicks out again before the count of three.

00:11:06Vince McMahon's been husband of the year many times over.

00:11:09He's been letting Linda lead the life of luxury.

00:11:11And what does she do?

00:11:12She brings back Stone Cold Steve Austin and now Earl Hebner.

00:11:15Suplex on Jericho, and the champion Chris Benoit, the Canadian crippler, feels like he's in control.

00:11:21Oh boy, here we go.

00:11:23Benoit to the top rope, Y2J in trouble, and Jericho, oh, a nice maneuver.

00:11:28And Benoit was going for the headbutt, and Jericho countered.

00:11:32Uh-oh.

00:11:33And now the challenger, Chris Jericho, in control.

00:11:36Now, don't you think Hebner should have disqualified Jericho for a low blow right then?

00:11:40A low blow at all.

00:11:41What?

00:11:41It's not Benoit off his feet.

00:11:45Again, Jericho off his feet.

00:11:46Benoit up in the high-ranked district again.

00:11:48Here we go.

00:11:49Off the top rope.

00:11:50Subset flip.

00:11:51Jericho rolls over.

00:11:52What?

00:11:53What a reversal by Jericho.

00:11:56Oh.

00:11:57He was going for the walls of Jericho, but Chris Benoit countered.

00:12:00And now Benoit going for the crippler crossface.

00:12:03And now Benoit going for the crippler crossface.

00:12:05Come on.

00:12:07The Intercontinental Champion going for the crippler crossface.

00:12:09Good point getting locked in on Jericho.

00:12:13He's losing a lot of blood.

00:12:15Benoit is from that nose.

00:12:16Look at this.

00:12:17Look out.

00:12:17Jericho tossed over the top rope.

00:12:20That was inadvertent.

00:12:21Unpurposed.

00:12:23Not intentional.

00:12:25Nonetheless, Jericho is covered in Benoit's blood.

00:12:28And Benoit buying some time.

00:12:30Look at Earl Hebner.

00:12:31Yeah, look at Earl Hebner.

00:12:33How do you explain that?

00:12:34Earl Hebner pulling.

00:12:35Wait a minute.

00:12:37Benoit Hebner in a shoving neck of Hebner tossed out through the second rope.

00:12:42Good.

00:12:43Chris Benoit headed up.

00:12:44Jericho.

00:12:45Inapricot.

00:12:46The title to the face of Benoit.

00:12:49Cheater.

00:12:51And the Lions goal by Chris Jericho.

00:12:54The cover.

00:12:55Referee's down.

00:12:56No way.

00:12:58It's over.

00:12:59Chris Jericho, the Intercontinental Champion.

00:13:02What a match.

00:13:09What a way.

00:13:10The Star Wars Smackdown.

00:13:13This is a miscarriage of justice if I've ever seen one.

00:13:19Okay, I'm not connoting Chris Jericho's actions.

00:13:22But Jericho may have realized this may have been his last title shot.

00:13:26Considering he's not in well with the Benoit Hemsley regime.

00:13:30Unbelievable.

00:13:31You watch this.

00:13:32Here's Bruce Koshnyk.

00:13:34What a cheater this could not be allowed.

00:13:36Jericho wins the championship match.

00:13:38He's whacked Benoit to Hebner.

00:13:40Looked right behind the ethics.

00:13:42And an alliance goal by Jericho.

00:13:44But it was Chris Benoit who came who shoved referee Earl Hebner out of the ring.

00:13:48It was Chris Benoit who knocked the referee out of the action.

00:13:52This is awful.

00:13:56Uh-oh.

00:13:57There's Triple H.

00:13:58It's McMahon.

00:14:00The McMahon-Hemsley regime is here.

00:14:04Okay, what do you think they have planned for The Rock?

00:14:06I don't know.

00:14:07But they got here just in time to find out what Earl Hebner just did.

00:14:11This can't be good.

00:14:17For The Rock and Earl Hebner.

00:14:20Somebody tell them about Earl Hebner.

00:14:21Quick.

00:14:22Oh, yeah.

00:14:23It's going to be a fun evening.

00:14:24You think the McMahon-Hemsley regime has gotten whiff of what just happened between Earl Hebner,

00:14:32Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho?

00:14:34Believe me, Vince McMahon knows everything.

00:14:36I've been waiting for this since last Monday, Michael.

00:14:38I want you to just shut up and listen.

00:14:42This should be great.

00:14:43A new Intercontinental Champion crowned in Chris Jericho.

00:14:48Wow.

00:14:49What else is going to happen on what should be an explosive night on SmackDown?

00:14:55Look at this entourage.

00:14:56You talk about numbers.

00:14:58Oh, ho.

00:14:59Vinnie Mac.

00:15:03A great Richmond reception for Mr. McMahon.

00:15:10How nice it is to be here in Richmond, Virginia.

00:15:16He said that with a straight face.

00:15:18Richmond, Virginia is a town of great historical significance.

00:15:25Indeed, Richmond historically is known as the capital of the Confederacy.

00:15:34We're proud of it here.

00:15:37Richmond is the home of Jefferson Davis.

00:15:41He was the president of the Confederacy.

00:15:42Here in Richmond, this is a location in which Patrick Henry gave his impassioned speech.

00:15:50Give me liberty or give me death.

00:15:53Man, is he smart.

00:15:56What a statesman.

00:15:58Richmond is the capital of the great state of Virginia.

00:16:03Who knows everything.

00:16:08Oh, boy.

00:16:09Man's chanting for the rock.

00:16:10I don't think Patrick Henry had these problems.

00:16:15You're interrupting my speech.

00:16:20A bunch of morons.

00:16:22Shut up.

00:16:23However, more recently, Richmond has been known for its corrupt city council.

00:16:32Uh-oh.

00:16:33That's a fact.

00:16:34I read it in the paper.

00:16:35You read the paper?

00:16:36And as of late, Richmond is known as the home of referee Earl Hebner.

00:16:46Ah, that's even worse.

00:16:48Born and bred.

00:16:49Correct city council and a correct referee.

00:16:55Now, this would be the same Earl Hebner who was reinstated as a referee by my wife, Linda.

00:17:03Uh-oh.

00:17:04Uh-oh.

00:17:05Here we go.

00:17:05The same Earl Hebner who counted Triple H's shoulders down for one, two, three.

00:17:13His shoulders were down.

00:17:14That's the same Earl Hebner, all right.

00:17:16The same Earl Hebner who raised the hand of the Rock as the new WWF champion.

00:17:22Oh, watch out.

00:17:23He's starting to boil.

00:17:30Ben, it's only right, Ben, that Earl Hebner returns back to that ring tonight here in his hometown.

00:17:39Oh, he's already been out there tonight, Ben.

00:17:41He's already been out here.

00:17:42He's already screwed up.

00:17:42Only this time, Earl Hebner will not be returning as a referee.

00:17:46No, tonight in that very ring, Earl Hebner will have his very first wrestling match.

00:17:57You've got to be kidding me.

00:17:59What?

00:17:59Earl's not a wrestler.

00:18:01I think I like this.

00:18:03And Earl Hebner, if you disobey my orders, that means that you've breached your contract.

00:18:09And that means not only will you be fired again this time by God, you'll stay fired.

00:18:17Earl's going to wrestle?

00:18:18That's the right thing to do, Vince.

00:18:19Good job.

00:18:20However, it wouldn't be right for Earl Hebner to have to face single competition in his first wrestling match in his hometown.

00:18:29That wouldn't be fair.

00:18:31So, therefore, tonight, Earl...

00:18:33Earl...

00:18:34Don't refer to Earl Hebner like that.

00:18:44He is one, Vince.

00:18:46Tonight, Earl will have a tag team partner.

00:18:50Uh-oh.

00:18:50That's right.

00:18:50Tag team action.

00:18:52And Earl will be happy with this, and so will you.

00:18:56Because tonight, Earl's tag team partner will be...

00:19:01The Rock.

00:19:02Earl Hebner and The Rock teaming here in Nuts.

00:19:06Rocks, what is going on?

00:19:09That's a formidable team.

00:19:14So, therefore, we've got Earl Hebner teaming up with The Rock to face the opposition of...

00:19:23X-Pac.

00:19:24Oh, no.

00:19:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:26X-Pac's tag team partner, The Road Doggy Doggy Doggy.

00:19:33What a match that's going to be.

00:19:36DX against Rock and Earl.

00:19:38Oh.

00:19:39And their tag team partner.

00:19:43What?

00:19:43The next World Wrestling Federation champion, Triple H.

00:19:47You've got to be kidding me.

00:19:49Three against two?

00:19:50It's really three against one.

00:19:52You see, it's two versus three.

00:19:56You might call this a handicap match.

00:20:00Big time.

00:20:01No, no.

00:20:02He means Triple H.

00:20:03However, oh, I almost forgot.

00:20:05This match will be for the World Wrestling Federation Championship.

00:20:11What?

00:20:12And how are you going to do that in a tag match?

00:20:14Just listen.

00:20:15I'm sure he'll explain.

00:20:16Now then, if The Rock's shoulders are pinned to the mat, The Rock loses the WWF Championship.

00:20:24There you go.

00:20:25Okay.

00:20:26And if The Rock's tag team partner, in his very first match in his hometown, Earl Hebner, if Earl Hebner's shoulders are pinned for the one, two, three, The Rock loses the WWF Championship.

00:20:39That's not fair.

00:20:40That's highway robbery, kid.

00:20:42Oh, come on.

00:20:43That's very fair.

00:20:44That's brilliant.

00:20:44Tonight, here in Richmond, we will crown a new World Wrestling Federation champion.

00:20:51And once again, history will be made in Richmond, Virginia.

00:20:59In this historic city, once again, will be part of history.

00:21:03Wouldn't this be great?

00:21:04You've got to be kidding me.

00:21:06DX against The Rock and Earl Hebner can't get his career suicide.

00:21:11It's not three on two, it's three on one.

00:21:14What a stakes man that Vince McMahon is.

00:21:16If only Al Gore had his charisma.

00:21:18The Rock's title reign is in serious jeopardy tonight.

00:21:21It's not true.

00:21:22It's not true.

00:21:22The Rock's title reign is in serious jeopardy tonight.

00:21:26It's not true.

00:21:27It's not true.

00:21:28If she's not fair, she'll be part of history.

00:21:29If she's not a big man that's a big man, she'll be part of history.

00:21:33Who knows what it's been the youth of the Rock would be?

00:21:37Who knows where she's not a big man that's going to be?

00:21:38Who knows where she's not a big man?

00:21:42Janet, you missed a spot over here.

00:21:56Janet, I've already told you I need every inch of ass off of my face.

00:22:02Well, he's correct on that count, King, because of what happened on Raw this past Monday night.

00:22:06The stink face at the hands of Rikishi.

00:22:09And apparently that's the reason that Edge and Christian are receiving facials this week.

00:22:15You know something, Edge?

00:22:17Rikishi is going to so pay for inventing that stinky, disgusting, vile move.

00:22:25Can't believe we lost the cover of Tiger Beat because of this.

00:22:30Every inch, Janet. Every inch.

00:22:32Stink face.

00:22:35Mamacita.

00:22:36Oh, fame going to their hands much, Edge and Christian?

00:22:39What are you talking about?

00:22:41I mean, these guys, they're beautiful people.

00:22:44I mean, you gotta do some repair work when you have, like, Rikishi's big butt right in your face.

00:22:49You gotta have a facial.

00:22:50Well, Edge and Christian versus Rikishi tonight in a handicap accident.

00:22:55Speaking of beautiful people, what about Latino Heat?

00:22:57Mamacita.

00:22:58Ooh.

00:22:58Latino Heat.

00:23:00And, you know, that's not going to be the only handicap match tonight.

00:23:04Rock and Earl Hebner against DX with the WWF title on the line.

00:23:09Oh, man.

00:23:10Following Intergender Tag Team Match is scheduled for one fall.

00:23:15Introducing Chyna and the World Wrestling Federation European Champion, Eddie Guerrero.

00:23:21Well, King Chyna and Eddie Guerrero have been waiting for days to get their hands on Este Rios and Lita because of what happened at Backlash this past Sunday night.

00:23:30Yeah, exactly.

00:23:31We saw Latino Heat arrive straight from the prom.

00:23:35And, well, they had quite a match up there with Este Rios.

00:23:40And then what happens?

00:23:42The beautiful prom dress gets ripped off by Lita.

00:23:45I can believe it.

00:23:46Yeah, Lita ripping off the prom dress of Chyna.

00:23:49But Eddie Guerrero, Latino Heat, well, he liked what he saw when Mamacita was stripped down to her brawn panties.

00:23:56Brawn panties!

00:23:57Brawn panties!

00:23:58Check it out!

00:24:00That's a real Latino Heat!

00:24:01And her opponents, making their way to the ring, Lita and Lise Jules!

00:24:14Well, on Raw this past Monday night, Chyna and Eddie Guerrero got a little bit of revenge by especially Chyna on Lita.

00:24:21Well, you got that right.

00:24:22I mean, oh, nice drop kick.

00:24:24And Lita wore the actual gown that Chyna had worn to the prom.

00:24:29She wore it out to the ring, but she didn't wear it all.

00:24:32Well, Chyna wanted her prom dress back.

00:24:34Yeah, with some more prom panties!

00:24:35Prom panties!

00:24:37I guarantee you this, Kate.

00:24:39Lita absolutely does not want to come down to the ring tonight for this matchup.

00:24:43It is extremely apprehensive to get into the ring with Chyna and Eddie Guerrero.

00:24:47I don't blame her at all.

00:24:50And speaking of apprehensive, I'm sure that referee Earl Hedner is going to be extremely apprehensive,

00:24:56forced to get into the ring tonight to team with The Rock against Triple H, Road Dogg, and X-Pac.

00:25:02And the WWE Championship is going to be on the line!

00:25:05Oh, man.

00:25:06You should have been a little idiot.

00:25:07You can't be lucky.

00:25:09Check it out.

00:25:10And S.A. Rios delivering flowers to Lita.

00:25:13And Chyna did not like it.

00:25:15And Eddie Guerrero goes to work.

00:25:17Those were Chyna's flowers.

00:25:17Yeah, Chyna's flowers that Eddie Guerrero had delivered to the ninth winner of the world.

00:25:21And S.A. Rios, oh, man, suffers the backbreaker at the hands of Eddie Guerrero.

00:25:26Got that right.

00:25:27So let me get this right, King.

00:25:29If Earl Hedner is pinned tonight, any member of D-Generation X,

00:25:33then The Rock loses the World Wrestling Federation title.

00:25:36The Rock doesn't even have to be pinned to lose his championship.

00:25:39You got it exactly right.

00:25:41What a brilliant plan by Mr. McMahon.

00:25:45The McMahon healthy regime has said it will not rest

00:25:47until The Rock no longer is the World Wrestling Federation champion.

00:25:52And I have to admit, King, the plan this evening looks ingenious.

00:25:56Look at this.

00:25:57The Latino Heat is being turned up on S.A. Rios.

00:26:00Great double team with Mamacita and Latino Heat and Chyna

00:26:03delivering the kicks to the small of the back of S.A. Rios.

00:26:06Yeah, but you know Chyna can't wait to get her hands on

00:26:08lovely Ritalita, brother.

00:26:11Watch this.

00:26:12Slam by Chyna.

00:26:13Watch this.

00:26:14Eddie Guerrero.

00:26:14Boom!

00:26:15From the top end of the gut of S.A. Rios.

00:26:17And Mamacita and Latino Heat working well together, King.

00:26:21And look at Lita.

00:26:22You're right.

00:26:23She is not anxious to get in that ring.

00:26:26The hold.

00:26:27Eddie Guerrero, the European champion.

00:26:29You just saw Lita looking on.

00:26:31Oh.

00:26:32And S.A. Rios right hands to Guerrero.

00:26:34And S.A. Rios misses with Insiguri.

00:26:38Whoa!

00:26:39Wow!

00:26:39And S.A. Rios falling back at Eddie Guerrero.

00:26:42Caught him in the chin.

00:26:43And S.A. Rios with a drop kick to Chyna.

00:26:46Mamacita!

00:26:49S.A. Rios a tremendous hat.

00:26:50Hey, hey, look at Lita.

00:26:51And look at Lita taking advantage.

00:26:53And a ball in Chyna.

00:26:55Kick a woman when she's down.

00:26:56Slam in the ring.

00:26:57Hooks the leg.

00:26:58Come on, another.

00:26:59Two.

00:27:00And a kick out.

00:27:00Uh-oh.

00:27:01Look at the ninth winner in the world.

00:27:03Chyna is not happy.

00:27:04She's got Lita in her sights.

00:27:06And Lita's running for her dear life.

00:27:08This is a tag team matchup.

00:27:11S.A. Rios and Lita against Eddie Guerrero in Chyna.

00:27:14But if I'm Lita, I'm going nowhere near the ring.

00:27:17Dear Lita, I'm out of here.

00:27:19Up over the top, S.A. Rios, Eddie Guerrero.

00:27:22Sweet footlock of his own and a nice arm drag by S.A. Rios.

00:27:26And Eddie Guerrero, and look at Lita taking advantage.

00:27:31Referee pulled away by S.A. Rios and Lita delivering a shot and then a boot to the kidney of Eddie Guerrero.

00:27:37Wow.

00:27:38Lita's sneaking.

00:27:41Sneaky?

00:27:42Reversal S.A. Rios.

00:27:43Off the ropes.

00:27:45Oh!

00:27:46What a maneuver by Eddie Guerrero.

00:27:48Nice move from Latino Heat.

00:27:50I still can't believe The Rocks being forced to team with Earl Hedmer later on tonight against D-Generation X.

00:27:57Oh, look at this.

00:27:58Look out, Chyna.

00:27:59Oh!

00:28:00Right to the sternum of S.A. Rios.

00:28:03I tell you, Chyna and Eddie Guerrero are cooking as a tag team here on SmackDown.

00:28:09It's not the only place they cook.

00:28:10Oh!

00:28:11And a wild night already.

00:28:12Chris Jericho, the new Intercontinental Champion.

00:28:15I heard they put that flame retardant Sheets on their grill.

00:28:18Double take down.

00:28:19And Chyna and S.A. Rios both need to make tags.

00:28:22But you know, he's...

00:28:24And now Lita wants to make the tag team because Chyna's down.

00:28:28Lita, like a vulture, wants to pick up the falling pieces.

00:28:32Oh, look out.

00:28:33Lita, tremendous athlete.

00:28:35Not to mention a nice shoulder tilt.

00:28:37And more encounter by Chyna.

00:28:38Oh!

00:28:39And the nice winner of the world.

00:28:41Underhand on Lita.

00:28:42Her hand.

00:28:43Oh, look out.

00:28:44Lita.

00:28:45Come on!

00:28:46By Chyna.

00:28:47Thundering off the mat.

00:28:48And I'm a broker at half.

00:28:51And Chyna stalking her prey.

00:28:53Eddie Guerrero whipping S.A. Rios into the barricade to leave Chyna along with Lita.

00:28:58Oh, this is going to be a massacre.

00:29:00Lita's in deep, deep trouble.

00:29:02Look at the strike of Chyna.

00:29:03The knock-wonder of the world.

00:29:06Remember the animal?

00:29:08There's going to be nothing compared to this water.

00:29:09And Chyna makes quick work of Lita.

00:29:16And Chyna, prove your point.

00:29:19I'm a dita!

00:29:21Eddie Guerrero and Chyna pick up the victory in tag team action.

00:29:27What do you think they do to celebrate?

00:29:29Are you kidding me?

00:29:31A couple of frijoles and then it's a...

00:29:35Oh, yep!

00:29:36Okay, we've got to take another look at the awesome strength and power of the ninth winner of the world, Chyna.

00:29:43Check this out.

00:29:45Oh, oh, oh, man!

00:29:48And the tremendous strength of Chyna as well.

00:29:53The ninth winner of the world making a statement to Lita.

00:29:56So, Chyna and Eddie Guerrero with a big victory.

00:30:10This man, Kurt Angle, is at the premiere of the blockbuster movie Gladiator this past Monday night.

00:30:15He claims he was a personal guest of Steven Spielberg.

00:30:18Well, that's true.

00:30:19It's true.

00:30:20It's true.

00:30:21I mean, and I'm going to assure you that Steven Spielberg is thinking about doing another movie.

00:30:24You know, I have a little problem with my opponent tonight, Hardcore Holly.

00:30:37Uh-oh.

00:30:38You see, when I think of the word Hardcore, I think of Hardcore pornography.

00:30:44Uh-oh.

00:30:47What is wrong with you people?

00:30:49There are children here tonight.

00:30:52You think of Hardcore all the time, don't you, Michael?

00:30:54We're in a state where the motto is, Virginia is for lovers.

00:31:00What's wrong with that?

00:31:02Pornography!

00:31:03And not to be a critic, but as I look around the crowd tonight, I realize that motto should be extended a little bit further.

00:31:14Maybe something like this.

00:31:15Virginia is for lovers, provided those lovers are not from the same family.

00:31:22And that, my friends, is true.

00:31:25It's true, it's true.

00:31:27Look at this crowd here tonight.

00:31:28This is one big family reunion.

00:31:29The Olympic hero, Kurt Angle, not engering himself to the crowd in Richmond.

00:31:34I'll tell you, though, Angle and his opponents should get along well.

00:31:37You know why?

00:31:37Why?

00:31:38They both run their mouths a lot.

00:31:39Hardcore Holly.

00:31:41You're right.

00:31:42It looks like he's ready to speak.

00:31:45Kurt, just two things.

00:31:48One, I don't give a rat's ass about your philosophy, and neither do these people.

00:31:57Because they can't understand his philosophy.

00:32:01And two, Virginia might be for lovers, but it sure as hell ain't a place for a 30-year-old virgin who's about to get his ass kicked.

00:32:1330-year-old virgin?

00:32:15I thought that's what he said.

00:32:16It's Hardcore Holly and Kurt Angle, and here we go.

00:32:20Should be a physical matchup on SmackDown.

00:32:22Well, I know for a fact that Kurt Angle is not 30.

00:32:25Oh, Hardcore Holly looking to make a name for himself against the Olympic gold medalist, Kurt Angle.

00:32:30Leap Brock up over Holly, kick to the midsection, and Holly's cooking here.

00:32:34Oh, man, what a slam on the Olympic gold medalist.

00:32:38First cover of the matchup, hook of the leg, two, and Angle gets the shoulder up.

00:32:42Earl Hebner's a virgin wrestler.

00:32:45Yeah.

00:32:46Virgin wrestler with his first matchup tonight in his hometown of Richmond.

00:32:49Forced to team with The Rock against DX with the WWF title on the line.

00:32:54Oh, man.

00:32:55You know, King, The Rock dodged the bullet Monday night on Raw.

00:32:58But how in the world is it going to beat three guys here tonight?

00:33:01Triple H, Road Dog, and X-Pac.

00:33:03Well, that's just basically, you said it, he dodged it Monday night, but The Rock is not bulletproof.

00:33:09I mean, you throw Earl Hebner out of the mix, basically.

00:33:12He's going to be a non-factor in my mind.

00:33:14So it's a three-on-one.

00:33:16It's a handicap match.

00:33:17You're right, it is a handicap match, but it's two against two.

00:33:20Well, how do you figure that?

00:33:21Because you saw Triple H.

00:33:23Oh, Triple H is injured.

00:33:25He's handicapped.

00:33:26Well, King, I've got to ask you, how severe is Triple H's injury?

00:33:29You saw his arm and his sling, a slight shoulder injury in the match against the Rocket Backlash.

00:33:34I have it on good authority that his shoulder is very injured.

00:33:37Well, we saw him do a number on The Rock.

00:33:39Look at that.

00:33:39Oh, man, into the post.

00:33:41Wow.

00:33:41We saw Triple H do a number on The Rock, arm and sling and all, inside that steel cage when he died on Raw.

00:33:47Yeah, but he was rising in pain when he did it.

00:33:49Well, it didn't look like that to me.

00:33:51And Hardcore Holly whipped back into the ring, and Kurt Angle going to work.

00:33:55Oh, belly to belly on Hardcore Holly.

00:33:57Hoops the leg, here's the cover, and a kick out after two.

00:34:01Nonetheless, arm and sling or not, Triple H will compete tonight with X-Pac and Road Dogg against The Rock and Earl Hedner.

00:34:08And keep in mind, if Earl Hedner's pinned, or even if he submits, the title changes hands, The Rock's the longer champion.

00:34:15Right, and it's not if, it's when.

00:34:17When Earl Hedner's pinned or smit.

00:34:20What do you think Earl Hedner's going to wear to the ring?

00:34:22He's got some little wrestling tights or something like that?

00:34:25I shudder to think.

00:34:26I mean, come on, he's not an athlete.

00:34:28The only thing athletic about him is his feet.

00:34:31Hardcore Holly up over the top.

00:34:32Nice leapfrog by Kurt Angle.

00:34:34And Kurt Angle, wait a minute.

00:34:36Looked like he's hurt.

00:34:37He's falling on that knee roll.

00:34:38Stop the match.

00:34:39Stop the match.

00:34:40Kurt Angle favoring that right knee.

00:34:42Yes, the man too valuable.

00:34:44He's like a thoroughbred.

00:34:45Perhaps somewhere we can see that replay and see if he came down on that knee roll.

00:34:49Where Hardcore Holly is looking to take advantage of that injury of Kurt Angle.

00:34:56All right, Holly, cut it out.

00:34:57Well, he's showing no compassion at all.

00:35:00It's a competitive business, King, you know that.

00:35:03Wait a minute.

00:35:04Hardcore Holly.

00:35:05No.

00:35:05Kurt Angle.

00:35:06Here's the cover.

00:35:07It's over.

00:35:08Kurt Angle picks up the win.

00:35:10That's intelligence and integrity.

00:35:14Kurt Angle.

00:35:16It's over.

00:35:17Harley with a truck kick to Kurt Angle.

00:35:19What's up here?

00:35:20Where's the referee when you need him?

00:35:21He's got arrowhead and riders.

00:35:23Well, the referee in a shoving match with Hardcore Holly.

00:35:26Shook Hardcore right into Kurt Angle.

00:35:29And Angle capitalized, buttoned Ian Hall.

00:35:31Wait a minute.

00:35:34What's Hardcore Holly doing?

00:35:35Oh, no.

00:35:37Right into the steel chair.

00:35:41Is he crazy?

00:35:41He's a great American hero.

00:35:47Well, his nickname is Hardcore.

00:35:49Let's not talk about him.

00:35:50I'm talking about Kurt Angle.

00:35:51Hardcore Holly loves to fight.

00:35:53He loves to compete.

00:35:55And Kurt Angle is out.

00:35:57Oh, look out, King.

00:35:59It's easy to back that thing up.

00:36:01Handicap match is on the way.

00:36:02Oh, my gosh.

00:36:04Look at that.

00:36:04For Kesey in his backside.

00:36:05Meet the tag team champ, Edge and Christian.

00:36:08Next.

00:36:10In the ring.

00:36:11On the stage.

00:36:13In the locker room.

00:36:14They are chanting The Rock's name.

00:36:17And now he's in your living room.

00:36:41Available now wherever videos are sold.

00:36:43Will the Richmond Coliseum be the last place The Rock will visit as WWF champion?

00:36:49It sure looks that way, King.

00:36:51The Rock and Earl Hebner, a referee, to take on DX for the title on the line tonight.

00:36:56It's gonna be huge.

00:36:57It's gonna be bigger.

00:36:58Well, certainly bigger than that statue.

00:37:00Look at this entire Coliseum.

00:37:02It's gonna be great.

00:37:02And here come the tag team champions Edge and Christian who have become rather full of themselves

00:37:10since they won the tag team titles.

00:37:11The world's tag team champion Edge is a typical World War II.

00:37:16In the arena of Toronto, Canada, out of the line here with 455 pounds,

00:37:22they are the world's wrestling federation tag team champion, Christian Edge.

00:37:28You see, Michael, since these guys have become the WWF tag team champions,

00:37:32they can't do that.

00:37:34That entrance through the People.

00:37:35The People just can't keep their hands off of them.

00:37:37I mean, they're reaching out, pulling their clothes off, tearing their hair out.

00:37:40It's unbelievable.

00:37:41You know, we just want to let all of our fans know

00:37:44that there's absolutely nothing to be alarmed about

00:37:48because our faces are now absolutely 100% ass free.

00:37:56Oh, good.

00:37:58So, Rikishi, you will rue the day that you ever decided to wear a thong in the ring

00:38:04and disgrace the faces that these people love.

00:38:09I thought it was pretty funny.

00:38:11Those faces will be on the cover of People magazine, anything, or GQ, or whatever.

00:38:16Edge and Christian, handicap action against this man.

00:38:19He weighs in at 424 pounds.

00:38:23Rikishi, the two.

00:38:26Magic Christian suffered a sick face in the hands of Rikishi this past week on Raw.

00:38:32Perhaps another one on the way tonight.

00:38:34Well, WWF's Judgment Day is brought to you by Army Men World War,

00:38:39the video game by 3DO.

00:38:41Judgment Day will be live May 21st for the sold-out Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky.

00:38:46Well over 400 pounds, Rikishi set for action.

00:38:51You know, Jen, Rikishi, part of a huge card a week from this Saturday in Cincinnati.

00:38:56Saturday May 14th is huge.

00:38:58And also Sunday in Columbus, Ohio.

00:39:01Sunday, May 14th, The Rock, the WWF champion in Columbus, Ohio, a week from Sunday as well.

00:39:08Oh, no.

00:39:09Oh, please.

00:39:10As the t-shirt says, back it up.

00:39:14Look at these guys.

00:39:15Can you imagine those nice-looking faces scrammed up in that crack?

00:39:18Oh, double-team effort met by a double clothesline by Rikishi in another one.

00:39:23And Rikishi hammering away on Edge and Christian.

00:39:26If that Rikishi not carefully, they'll chip their perfect teeth.

00:39:29Oh, these guys are going to be on the cover of American Dental magazine.

00:39:32That's pretty good considering they're Canadians.

00:39:34Look out now.

00:39:35The tag team champs in trouble.

00:39:38Rikishi's pulling over 400 pounds, making an Edge and Christian sandwich.

00:39:43Oh, my gosh.

00:39:44Oh, no.

00:39:45Uh-oh.

00:39:46Yeah, they're Edge.

00:39:47Edge is in position.

00:39:49And the stick means again.

00:39:50Rikishi's backing it up.

00:39:53Get away.

00:39:54It's a game.

00:39:56So much for the facials.

00:39:59You've been soiled.

00:40:01Oh, please.

00:40:02Oh, look out.

00:40:03Rikishi, Christian, in trouble.

00:40:07Hey, Christian.

00:40:08Oh, what a spear by Edge.

00:40:09Edge with a tremendous spear.

00:40:11There you go.

00:40:11And the double-team to Rikishi.

00:40:14Edge might just leave the ring and try to watch his face or something quickly.

00:40:18You know, if that stuff gets in your hair, it'll never come out.

00:40:20How do you know?

00:40:21The double-team on Rikishi and Edge and Christian, the tag team champions, in control.

00:40:27I think your wife told me, Michael.

00:40:28Oh, look out.

00:40:29And a double headbutt to Rikishi.

00:40:32Come on.

00:40:33Hey, Christian, going to the first cover of the matchup.

00:40:35There's two Rikishi kicks out with authority.

00:40:38My gosh.

00:40:40You know, it's hard enough being tag team champions and having every tag team in the world, rest of these federations, gunning for you, Kevin.

00:40:46Look out.

00:40:46Their arrogance aren't going to make them any friends.

00:40:50Based on arrogance and confidence.

00:40:52Rikishi knocked down outside the ring.

00:40:55Look at these guys.

00:40:55Look at these guys in trouble.

00:40:56These guys are like rock stars, I'm telling you.

00:40:59Look out.

00:40:59Cranky with a foot up over the top rope.

00:41:02Don't hate them just because they're beautiful, Michael.

00:41:04Delivering the forearm to Rikishi.

00:41:05I don't hate them because they're beautiful.

00:41:06Well, I just don't like their attitude.

00:41:08Look at that cottage cheese.

00:41:09Oh, no!

00:41:10And shoulder first into the ring post.

00:41:13Referee Jimmy Corneira is inmodishing the count as Rikishi delivers the right hand to Christian.

00:41:20Rikishi back into the ring.

00:41:23Referee calling for the bell.

00:41:25What happened?

00:41:26Rikishi picked up the win.

00:41:28Order of this record is on the ring count.

00:41:32It's another O-Headner referee view.

00:41:33Oh, Edge and Christian counted out, but now the double team continues on Rikishi.

00:41:39You know what?

00:41:40I'd fire every one of these stupid referees in the room for me.

00:41:42Why?

00:41:42That was a fine call.

00:41:44What are you talking about?

00:41:45They were counted out of the ring.

00:41:46Oh, here we go.

00:41:46Oh, look out.

00:41:48Look out now.

00:41:49Remember Backlash, King.

00:41:51Edge using the bell.

00:41:52Delivering stitches to X-Pac.

00:41:54And it goes too cool.

00:41:55Rikishi's winning buddies.

00:41:57Backlash, back to the face of Edge.

00:42:01Christian, look out.

00:42:02And Christian into the corner.

00:42:04Scottie Tuhani face first.

00:42:08Listen to this crowd.

00:42:09Look at the face.

00:42:12You know what this means?

00:42:13He's getting warming down with you.

00:42:15Who?

00:42:16Who?

00:42:17Here in the world.

00:42:19Scottie Tuhani with the chop to Christian.

00:42:28Rikishi into cool cleaning house.

00:42:32And the tag team champions escape and dodge with the titles.

00:42:38They don't deserve to be treated like this.

00:42:42That was jealousy.

00:42:42Rikishi wants some more.

00:42:47Rikishi wants some more.

00:42:49Yeah.

00:42:49But you know what the crowd wants?

00:42:50Rikishi wants some more food is what he wants.

00:42:54You see it again.

00:42:55Survival of the fantasy.

00:42:57Oh, no.

00:42:58He's gonna dance.

00:43:00And there are the shades.

00:43:06And you know what happened when the shades go on.

00:43:11Yeah.

00:43:12You can read it on the Richter scale.

00:43:15It's a transformation for Rikishi.

00:43:18You're half right.

00:43:19King, the first time in a long time.

00:43:22Grandmaster Sex, Eight, Knee, Surgery.

00:43:26That's a boogie down in the ring.

00:43:31Well, all of these boys here in Richmond better be having a good time now.

00:43:35And you don't kick it out.

00:43:36It looks like Grandmaster Sex has lost his stuff at all.

00:43:38Well, there'll be no dancing later on when your hometown boy Earl Hebner gets out here.

00:43:44Earl Hebner of the Rock against Triple H, Snow Dog and X-Box.

00:43:48With the WWF title on the line.

00:43:51And check it out.

00:43:58He's got some moves, don't he?

00:44:00Yeah, but Kenny Riverdance.

00:44:04Riverdance?

00:44:04Looking good, looking good.

00:44:06You know, Tua, the chick's kind of thirsty.

00:44:08Yeah?

00:44:09I don't have a dollar or a quarter in here.

00:44:16Ka-choo.

00:44:17Oh, the wad.

00:44:18I love how you hide things like that.

00:44:20What is, isn't that clever?

00:44:22It is.

00:44:23Excuse us.

00:44:26Excuse you?

00:44:27Uh-oh.

00:44:27There's no excuse for you.

00:44:29The way you treat women and try to, you know, you put them through tables.

00:44:34I don't know who you think you're talking to, but these are two girls that you don't mess

00:44:40with.

00:44:41You know, it's pretty pathetic when two men have to pick on women to make themselves feel

00:44:47strong and powerful.

00:44:48Oh, did you hear us?

00:44:51Tell them, Tua.

00:44:52Pathetic.

00:44:53Read my lips.

00:44:53Pa-the-tic.

00:44:55You're a poor excuse for men.

00:45:00Hmph.

00:45:00Hey, man.

00:45:05We're out of your mind.

00:45:07Do you know what the repercussion is of putting that girl through a table?

00:45:11You don't think you would, do you?

00:45:14What?

00:45:17And now, the WWF Food of the Week, brought to you by Lugs.

00:45:21That's Lugs.

00:45:22Rugged boots and shoes with an attitude.

00:45:24Since you never know where you'll end up.

00:45:26Where are your Lugs at?

00:45:28Oh, there's Chris.

00:45:29Save yourself.

00:45:29Chris, let's go.

00:45:30Get the hell off.

00:45:31He didn't break it.

00:45:32Stop kissing.

00:45:33He's everybody inside.

00:45:34Look at the look of Bubba's face.

00:45:36Wait a minute.

00:45:37I think I see two.

00:45:39That did it?

00:45:40Oh, no.

00:45:41No, it didn't.

00:45:42Bubba said to hell with a con for hockey.

00:45:45He will score.

00:45:49Lugs, decide and conquer.

00:45:53Okay, miraculously, so Stratus was shaking up badly, but nothing was broken, but did you

00:45:58see the look in Bubba Ray's eyes before the break?

00:45:59He was looking at stepping into Ben Housman and scoring.

00:46:04Yeah, I did.

00:46:05That was scary.

00:46:06That was scary.

00:46:06Well, Michael, tonight, WWF Smackdown is brought to you by 1-800 collect.

00:46:15That's the easy way to say, hand-by-weeder nutrition, the science of building a better body.

00:46:35We'll save 20% off metal form and weeder products at G&C stores until June 1st.

00:46:39And by The Rock, The People's Champ, now available from WWF Home Video.

00:46:45Look for it on VHS, DVD, wherever videos are sold.

00:46:48I was asking about Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:46:51You don't think he'd actually think about Stephanie and Tori and his hands.

00:46:53Well, the actual words were, you said, you don't think he would.

00:46:57You said would.

00:46:57Right.

00:46:58Nobody thinks I would enough to get wood.

00:47:0013 pounds.

00:47:02So TNA on their way to the ring alone.

00:47:06Well, Tripp Stratus, obviously, is still out of action.

00:47:09Yeah, to me, TNA just ain't the same with that one.

00:47:14Trish.

00:47:15Well, TNA got some measure of revenge against the Dudley Boys on Raw this past Monday night.

00:47:21What a tremendous matchup here, TNA against the Hardy Boys.

00:47:24An important match for both these teams, Kang, as they look to climb into contention for the tag team titles held by Edge and Christian.

00:47:31Well, talk about how Edge and Christian are, I mean, they're like rock stars.

00:47:38You saw the reaction of the young girls out here as Edge and Christian came down.

00:47:44The Hardys get a similar reaction.

00:47:46Very much so.

00:47:48And it's Matt Hardy and Albert locking it up in the center of the ring.

00:47:52So the Rock teams with referee Earl Hegner tonight will take on Triple H and D-Generation X.

00:47:58With the World Wrestling Federation title on the line.

00:48:02It's gonna be funny.

00:48:03Earl Hegner couldn't beat a drum.

00:48:05You know that.

00:48:05Well, Earl Hegner, if he's pinned or submits, The Rock loses the title, plain and simple.

00:48:09It's just gonna be a matter of time.

00:48:11Can you just visualize this?

00:48:14Earl Hegner trying to do the referee's elbow.

00:48:19Or cocking the referee's eyebrow.

00:48:21Well, think about it, Kang.

00:48:22I mean, if The Rock chooses to make a tag tonight to Earl Hegner, The Rock's championship's a goner.

00:48:27Right.

00:48:27If he doesn't make the tag, then it's a three-on-one.

00:48:29So The Rock is damned if he does.

00:48:31He's damned if he doesn't.

00:48:32What does he do?

00:48:33He's damned.

00:48:34Albert misses to the right hand.

00:48:36Matt Hardy sliding underneath the bottom rope and drawing Albert out inside the ring.

00:48:40There's the tag to Jeff.

00:48:42Albert never saw the tag made.

00:48:44It looked like a climb still chasing a thoroughbred.

00:48:46And Jeff Hardy from behind, and it allows the Hardy Boys to double-team the 360-pound Albert.

00:48:51Whoa, look out.

00:48:52Whipped across the ring.

00:48:54It's the Hardy Boys.

00:48:55Two great teams.

00:48:59Jeff Hardy covered.

00:49:00Kick out with authority by Albert.

00:49:02Well, I'm glad he landed on the referee, because if you ask me, it's more bad aficionated.

00:49:06And look at the strength of Albert.

00:49:08TNA with the strength.

00:49:09Hardy Boys with the quickness.

00:49:12Oh, look at that.

00:49:13But look at Jeff landing on his feet.

00:49:15He got a drunk kick to the face.

00:49:16Man, oh, man.

00:49:18I can't believe it.

00:49:19I'm impressed every single night I watch these Hardy Boys.

00:49:22Jeff Hardy delivering the right-handed test.

00:49:31T.

00:49:31And here's the white hands in the face of Albert.

00:49:35And look out.

00:49:36Jeff Hardy's on there.

00:49:38No man's land.

00:49:40Trying to counter Albert.

00:49:41And look at the tremendous strength of Albert.

00:49:45Man, what a powerbomb.

00:49:48Man, it is right.

00:49:49And Albert with the cover.

00:49:51This should be over.

00:49:51And Matt Hardy breaks up the three count.

00:49:54Take a look at the power of Albert's kick.

00:50:01And the double tie by TNA on Jeff Hardy.

00:50:05Not just the power of Albert.

00:50:06Look at the size of Albert's head.

00:50:08The biggest I've ever seen.

00:50:09JR told me that Albert wore an 8-3-8-sized football helmet in college.

00:50:15That's huge.

00:50:17Oh, look at that full Nelson slam.

00:50:19Hook of the leg by Tess.

00:50:20Two.

00:50:21And Jeff Hardy somehow kicks out.

00:50:23Well, because that was about a five count.

00:50:26You know these referees like Teddy Long?

00:50:29These guys look at Earl Hedner as their role model.

00:50:31Well, you don't have to worry about Earl Hedner any more here tonight because Earl Hedner's wrestling.

00:50:35He's not refereeing.

00:50:36The senior official of the World Wrestling Federation is dining wrestling types here tonight.

00:50:41And he's gonna team with The Rock.

00:50:43You're right.

00:50:43Earl Hedner will never be a role model wrestler.

00:50:47Earl Hedner is in the prime of his referee career right now.

00:50:50What?

00:50:50But he's not in the prime of his athletic career.

00:50:52I mean, he weighs 140 pounds soaking wet, as he said earlier on.

00:50:58And he's being forced into a WWF Championship match.

00:51:02Look at that!

00:51:03Jeff Hardy taking out Albert.

00:51:06The Hardy boys love to fly.

00:51:08And what a maneuver.

00:51:10They fly first class.

00:51:12Yeah, they're daredevils.

00:51:15Jeff needs to make a tag to his partner, Matt, his brother.

00:51:18And A needs to make a tag to T.

00:51:20The Hardy boys were never supposed to be here, King, they were long shots.

00:51:25Tag.

00:51:26All right, look at this.

00:51:27Matt's nervous from the hills of North Carolina.

00:51:30And here's Matt Hardy.

00:51:31The test misses right hand.

00:51:33Matt Hardy counters.

00:51:36And again.

00:51:36Look at that hair pullin'.

00:51:38Look at that hair pullin'.

00:51:38Kick to the midsection.

00:51:40Boom, man!

00:51:42I think there should be a significant sign for that hair.

00:51:44Boom!

00:51:45Look at that!

00:51:46A swinging DDT by Matt Hardy.

00:51:48Oh, 838's got it in.

00:51:51Uh-oh.

00:51:52Boom, man!

00:51:53That's the point to fake!

00:51:54Cover!

00:51:55Two!

00:51:56And Albert breaks up the three count.

00:51:58What a tremendous matchup by two tremendous tag teams.

00:52:03And Matt Hardy and Test exchanging blows.

00:52:06Jeff Hardy outside the ring, and it allows the double team here for T and A.

00:52:09Man into the corner.

00:52:11Look at Albert with that right uppercut.

00:52:15And Test.

00:52:17There's that pump handle.

00:52:19Oh, look out.

00:52:21Hey, wait, wait.

00:52:22Jeff Hardy, let go, Rats!

00:52:23Jeff's got his brother.

00:52:24Albert makes it pay.

00:52:25Oh, what a slam by Test.

00:52:28Look out.

00:52:30Jeff Hardy, Tommy Wright.

00:52:31You idiot!

00:52:32Swat!

00:52:33Tom Fulham to the back of Test.

00:52:36Oh, no referee never saw it.

00:52:39Matt Hardy with the cover.

00:52:40There's two.

00:52:41It's over.

00:52:42The Hardy boys defeat T and A.

00:52:45You're right.

00:52:46The ref that's playing is going to be heiferized.

00:52:48No, because he was arguing with Albert.

00:52:50He's heiferized.

00:52:51Albert may have cost his own partner the matchup by arguing with the referee.

00:52:55Uh-oh.

00:52:56But this does not look good for Matt Hardy.

00:52:59T and A with a double team.

00:53:02I'll tell you, T and A King have been in foul moves since the injury to Trish and backlash.

00:53:08Yeah, I wonder what she's thinking watching this.

00:53:10Come on, let's go.

00:53:11Yes!

00:53:12Oh, look out.

00:53:14Tremendous strength by Albert.

00:53:17Oh, man.

00:53:19Where's he going?

00:53:21I don't know, but do you think the referee should be allowing this?

00:53:24He had to step right in there to say it isn't going to.

00:53:26But no, he's heiferized.

00:53:28Oh, what an elbow by Test.

00:53:30Well, the Hardy boys won the matchup, but T and A sent it a serious message.

00:53:38Okay, speaking of Earl Hetner, Jonathan Coachman standing by with Earl Hetner.

00:53:43This is going to be an interesting interview.

00:53:46Well, Earl, I can't even imagine how you're feeling right now.

00:53:49Imagine how you're feeling.

00:53:50How in the hell would you be feeling if you had to go out there and do something that you don't do?

00:53:55I'm a referee.

00:53:56I'm not a wrestler.

00:53:57And they are forcing me, forcing me to go out there and get my ass kicked or lose my job.

00:54:05Now, if you do get your ass kicked tonight and are covered one, two, three in the middle of the ring,

00:54:09how are you going to feel about being the person that single-handedly cost The Rock his title?

00:54:13I'm going to feel awful.

00:54:15But what kind of condition am I going to be in to make a living for my family?

00:54:18Tell me.

00:54:19Tell me.

00:54:20All I've got to say is good luck.

00:54:22Good luck, Earl.

00:54:24And now, the fastest slam of the week brought to you by Western Union.

00:54:28The fastest way to send money worldwide.

00:54:31The WWE title about to be decided.

00:54:33The only way to win this match is to escape the cane.

00:54:37Oh, my God!

00:54:38Oh, my God!

00:54:40He's on the top of the cane!

00:54:43Can he make it?

00:54:44Yes!

00:54:45Yes!

00:54:45The Rock has done a fatal bullet!

00:54:48Well, King, The Rock dodged the bullet on Raw this past Monday night.

00:54:54I don't know if he'll have the same fate here on SmackDown.

00:54:57Did you hear Earl Hefner earlier?

00:54:59He said, I'm not a wrestler.

00:55:01He can't even pronounce his best friend of mine.

00:55:03Hey!

00:55:03What?

00:55:04What is this?

00:55:06Hey, what is this?

00:55:07I don't know.

00:55:09Oh, no.

00:55:11What in the world?

00:55:12Well, I can tell you what in the world.

00:55:14It's the world's largest athlete.

00:55:15He's got the biggest sword I've ever seen on a man.

00:55:28Well, it's the biggest man we've ever seen.

00:55:307'2", 500 pounds, a big show.

00:55:33Showing in the Barbarian.

00:55:35I will crush my ears beneath my feet.

00:55:38I will show no mercy.

00:55:40But I am Shonan the Barbarian.

00:55:42He's just having a blast, King.

00:55:49He's just having a blast, right?

00:55:51And his opponent, from Cobb County, Georgia,

00:55:57weighing in at 287 pounds, Bull Buchanan.

00:56:02Here's a guy that'll wipe the smile off anybody's face.

00:56:04Yeah, the fun and games man here pretty quickly,

00:56:06Bull Buchanan against Shonan the Barbarian.

00:56:09And Bull Buchanan, shown absolutely no intimidation

00:56:12and fear.

00:56:13And the fun and games man here pretty quickly,

00:56:15Bull Buchanan against Shonan the Barbarian.

00:56:18And Bull Buchanan, shown absolutely no intimidation and fear.

00:56:27And that's why, King, he's got a weapon.

00:56:29And he's going to work on the show.

00:56:31Look at that, he got a sword of his own.

00:56:33Man, Bull Buchanan rushing into the ring.

00:56:37And that was why, an equalizer.

00:56:40He's not rushing, he's from Georgia.

00:56:42Well, King, what isn't funny about this situation is this match hasn't even officially started.

00:56:47The referee hasn't even called for the bell.

00:56:50And Bull Buchanan.

00:56:52Oh, man.

00:56:53Well, that's it.

00:56:54There you go.

00:56:55Yeah.

00:56:56I think Shonan.

00:56:57Shonan.

00:57:00Bull whipped into the corner and Shonan is going to work.

00:57:06Yeah.

00:57:07Forget Shonan.

00:57:08This is the big show right here.

00:57:09Look at the intensity.

00:57:12With one arm, he just tossed Bull Buchanan over the top rope.

00:57:16Oh, I'd be heading back to Georgia right now if I were you.

00:57:20King, Bull Buchanan's 6'8", 300.

00:57:23And Big Show's manhandling him.

00:57:25Look at that referee.

00:57:27How useless is he?

00:57:29You don't make the Big Show mad, bottom line.

00:57:33Oh, look out.

00:57:35Bull Buchanan's about to be turned into a calf.

00:57:39Look at this.

00:57:40Look at this.

00:57:41Oh.

00:57:42The big show now.

00:57:43That'd be a lesson to you kids.

00:57:45If you're out on the playground, you got a 500 pound playmate.

00:57:48Don't make him angry.

00:57:49Not another one.

00:57:50Well, Bull Buchanan really made him angry.

00:57:54With one hand, the Big Show is lifting Bull Buchanan off the ground.

00:57:59And what a chokeslam.

00:58:01Man.

00:58:06That is the Big Show.

00:58:09Well, we've said it before and we're gonna say it again.

00:58:12Let the big guy have fun.

00:58:15You don't want to make you mad.

00:58:17Oh.

00:58:19That's me.

00:58:20Big Show needs a little therapy.

00:58:24The Big Show lost it.

00:58:26Earl.

00:58:27Here.

00:58:28Come here.

00:58:29Have a seat up.

00:58:30I hope you weren't rough.

00:58:31Sit down.

00:58:32I hope you weren't roughed up or anything like that coming over and nobody harmed you.

00:58:35It's all right.

00:58:36Just have a seat.

00:58:37Relax.

00:58:38All right?

00:58:39I just wanted to say that I hope there aren't any hard feelings between you and me because,

00:58:44I mean, let's face it, I've just gotta do what I've gotta do.

00:58:48You understand that.

00:58:49And this being your first match and all that, I would imagine you're a little bit nervous.

00:58:55I mean, let's face it.

00:58:57You're in there against some pretty damn tough individuals and I really hope you don't get hurt.

00:59:04And I hope you don't lose The Rock's WWF Championship.

00:59:10But if you do, Earl, I know, and everybody else knows, you would have tried your best.

00:59:16So, good luck to you tonight, Earl, okay?

00:59:20Good luck to you.

00:59:22Good luck to you.

00:59:27There's Crash Holly.

00:59:28He's all excited.

00:59:29He didn't have to defend the hardcore title here tonight on SmackDown.

00:59:32I know, he's going home early.

00:59:33He's happy.

00:59:34Well, the only title to be defended 24-7 in the World Wrestling Federation, the hardcore title.

00:59:39But he's got Crash Holly a bit paranoid as of late.

00:59:42I guess we'll get to watch him shoot some hoops.

00:59:44Oh, he's horrible.

00:59:45Pretty bad.

00:59:46Crash Holly's been looking over his shoulder the last few days.

00:59:49You saw him on Raw Monday night doing an interview.

00:59:52He was accusing me of looking at him weird.

00:59:54Well, now what's he gonna do?

00:59:56You're kidding me.

00:59:59Wait a minute.

01:00:00Hey, that's Dean Malenko with a referee and a cover.

01:00:05What are they in?

01:00:06They're some sort of fun house, but the hardcore title's on the line.

01:00:10Look at this.

01:00:11Crash Holly defending against Dean Malenko.

01:00:15That's like one of those moonwalk things.

01:00:19Remember the 24-7 rule.

01:00:21My, what a cheap luster.

01:00:23And Crash Holly to Houdini of Hardcore.

01:00:27Well, I know Crash has been getting jumpy.

01:00:29That proves it.

01:00:30Well, he's trying to escape again, and he's coming out here, King.

01:00:33And Dean Malenko, the lightweight champions in pursuit.

01:00:37Crash, where are you?

01:00:38So Dean Malenko going for two titles.

01:00:41Trying to gain the hardcore title.

01:00:44No.

01:00:46He got caught, did he get caught?

01:00:48On Monday night on Raw, it was Steve Blackman attacking Hardcore Holly.

01:00:52And there's a cover and a kick out.

01:00:54In fact, King, Jonathan Ogden of the Baltimore Ravens trying to pin Crash Holly.

01:00:59Move out of the way there, Scotty.

01:01:00Was that Scotty too, honey?

01:01:01Looked like him.

01:01:02And Malenko tossing Crash Holly, the hardcore champion.

01:01:06Remember.

01:01:07Oh, my God.

01:01:08Oh!

01:01:09Into the shoulder goes Crash.

01:01:11Into the stairs goes Crash Holly.

01:01:13Crash.

01:01:14Hardcore titles on the line.

01:01:16Go home, barred, balls count anywhere.

01:01:18I'll tell you, no wonder Crash Holly's, he's nuts.

01:01:21He's paranoid.

01:01:22Because he's a wanted man.

01:01:25Well, he couldn't even enjoy himself over that little fun part there.

01:01:29And look at this.

01:01:32If I'm not mistaken, Dean Malenko could become a double champion here.

01:01:35Crash Holly favoring that shoulder after being whipped into the steel step.

01:01:38Here's the reversal.

01:01:39Malenko.

01:01:40And look out.

01:01:41Crash Holly up over the top.

01:01:44Malenko, the light heavyweight champion, trying to win his second title

01:01:47in the World Wrestling Federation here tonight.

01:01:49I'm afraid somebody's looking to get trashed here.

01:01:53And Malenko, oh, what a counter by Crash Holly.

01:01:56You know Malenko's running buddy with the Radicals, Chris Benoit,

01:02:00lost the Intercontinental title earlier on this evening to Chris Jericho.

01:02:03Hey, hey, hey.

01:02:04Look who's coming down.

01:02:05Who's coming?

01:02:06Hey, look out.

01:02:07Oh, what a suplex.

01:02:08It's Perry Saturn.

01:02:09Another Radical.

01:02:10Yeah, another Radical.

01:02:11Hey, wait a minute.

01:02:12Saturn just pulled Malenko off Crash Holly.

01:02:15He wants to be the hardcore champion himself.

01:02:17And Perry Saturn wants the title.

01:02:19One, two, three.

01:02:20Oh, man.

01:02:21Brain Buster by Saturn.

01:02:23One, two, three.

01:02:24The cover.

01:02:25No.

01:02:26And Malenko.

01:02:27And what are you doing?

01:02:28And an argument ensued between the Radicals.

01:02:30Well, Saturn's the only Radical that doesn't have a title.

01:02:32He wants a championship for his own.

01:02:34One, two, three.

01:02:35Look out.

01:02:36From behind, Crash Holly.

01:02:37One.

01:02:38Cover of Malenko.

01:02:39It's over.

01:02:40Crash retains the title.

01:02:42Huthidi of hardcore.

01:02:43He's a skid cadet.

01:02:44He can't believe it.

01:02:45Watch it, Perry.

01:02:46That ref will get up, push you down.

01:02:47He's hypnotized.

01:02:48And perhaps the strain of not having a title got to Perry Saturn.

01:02:49Oh, look at this.

01:02:50Here comes, here comes Earl Hedner's cult.

01:02:51Earl Hedner.

01:02:52See how they all dress alike.

01:02:53Hey, Shane.

01:02:54You see what I've been doing lately?

01:02:55Show Kesey.

01:02:56Show Kesey.

01:02:57Show Kesey.

01:02:58Show Kesey.

01:02:59Show Kesey.

01:03:00Show Kesey.

01:03:01Show Kesey.

01:03:02Show Kesey.

01:03:03Show Kesey.

01:03:04Show Kesey.

01:03:05Show Kesey.

01:03:06Kesey.

01:03:07Kesey.

01:03:08Kesey.

01:03:09You see what I've been doing lately?

01:03:10Show Kesey.

01:03:11Show Kesey.

01:03:12Show Kesey.

01:03:13Show Kesey.

01:03:14I mean, it's great.

01:03:15Don't you think?

01:03:16What do you think?

01:03:17What do I think?

01:03:18We're back on SmackDown King and before the break, Big Show asked Shane McMahon what

01:03:23he thought about his latest standings.

01:03:24Well, this is what happened.

01:03:26What do you think?

01:03:27What do I think?

01:03:28You know, Sho, I'll tell you what I think.

01:03:33I think you let me down at WrestleMania.

01:03:35See, I wanted to make you someone.

01:03:37I gave you the opportunity to become someone.

01:03:40To become the World Wrestling Federation Champion.

01:03:42And what happened?

01:03:43What happened, Sho, in the Fatal 4-Way Elimination matchup?

01:03:45What happened?

01:03:46You were the first man eliminated.

01:03:48That's embarrassing.

01:03:49That was embarrassing to me.

01:03:51You know, then after that you say, hey, Shano, I want to go out on my own.

01:03:54You know, I want to entertain the public.

01:03:56And look at yourself.

01:03:57You've been a fool.

01:03:58Do you think you're actually entertaining the public?

01:04:00No, I don't think you're entertaining at all.

01:04:02You know what I think, Sho?

01:04:04I think that you are a pathetic, pea brain, waste of perfectly good oxygen.

01:04:17An unmotivated slob.

01:04:22And no one, none of those people will ever care about anything that you do out there, Sho.

01:04:28Your performance, nothing.

01:04:30And why?

01:04:31Because you don't deserve it.

01:04:34That's what I think.

01:04:36Big Show is about to fly.

01:04:41A bit harsh by Shane.

01:04:43I got to tell you.

01:04:44First of all, I can't believe that Shane stood right in the Big Show's face and call him pathetic.

01:04:49But I mean, that's the way Shane feels.

01:04:51He put the Big Show in his place.

01:04:53King, I have to admit, I mean, the Big Show's been entertaining as of late.

01:04:56I think he's been a riot.

01:04:57Well, Shane doesn't think so.

01:04:59Shane thinks he's been a huge disappointment.

01:05:02Earl Hebner, Rock, moments away.

01:05:06And it really seems, Rock, as if the McMahon-Hemsley faction is putting the screws to you like never before.

01:05:13Honestly, I don't know how you're going to be able to get out of this one.

01:05:17Once again, the deck is stacked against The Rock.

01:05:36Once again, all odds against The Rock.

01:05:39If The Rock gets beat tonight, he loses the WWF title.

01:05:43If Earl Hebner gets beat tonight, The Rock loses the WWF title.

01:05:47Well, The Rock says this, Vince McMahon.

01:05:49What you're failing to realize is The Rock isn't going to lose the WWF title.

01:05:54And you come out on The Rock show.

01:06:01You come out on SmackDown and you run your mouth.

01:06:03You run your mouth about Patrick Henry.

01:06:05Yes, he did, Vince say.

01:06:07Give me liberty or give me death.

01:06:09Well, The Rock has a little saying of his own and it goes like this.

01:06:11Give The Rock X-Pac.

01:06:12Give him Road Dogg.

01:06:13Give him Triple H.

01:06:14Roll them all up in a ball and shove them straight up your candy ass.

01:06:17If you smell what The Rock is cooking.

01:06:47King The Rock's championship reign may last just a few minutes longer.

01:06:54The entire McMahon healthy faction out of three masks.

01:06:59It's Pac, Road Dogg vs. Rock and Earl.

01:07:02Next.

01:07:03Don't move!

01:07:04What did he do?

01:07:05This won't be my ego.

01:07:06Next is Pac, Road Dogg.

01:07:07� commanders would.

01:07:08I can't take advantage of this man.

01:07:12Make me a kink ass just stay warm.

01:07:14Roll us out in a party, hot with a beat.

01:07:17To the King Drama bur curb maybe and me.

01:07:24I'm so capable.

01:07:25You have to be an anchor.

01:07:27I'm so brutal.

01:07:28I'm so brutal.

01:07:30And now, the WWF Smack of the Night presented by Milk with

01:07:34nine essential nutrients for active bodies.

01:07:37Got Milk?

01:07:37Gulp it down.

01:07:39Tonight, Earl Hebner will have his very first wrestling match.

01:07:44You gotta be kidding me.

01:07:45Earl's tag piece partner will be- The Rock.

01:07:47The Rock shoulders are pinned to the match.

01:07:49Earl Hebner shoulders are pinned for the one, two, three.

01:07:52The Rock loses the WWF Championship.

01:08:00Well, Jack, the McMahon has the machine came to the site for two goals.

01:08:19One, to make sure The Rock did not leave for the World Wrestling Federation title.

01:08:23And two, make Earl Hebner pay,

01:08:26they can accomplish both those goals in his match.

01:08:29I'm afraid we're going to see more Earl Hebner pay and pay dearly.

01:08:35It is The Rock and Earl Hebner against Triple H, Road Dogg, and X-Pac.

01:08:41Triple and cut to three, and Amy has tag team match.

01:08:45And it is for the World Wrestling Federation Championship.

01:08:50The Judas King in the ring made accompanied by Tory, Stephanie McMahon-Housley,

01:08:55Shane McMahon, Vince McMahon, Pat Patterson, and Joe Briscoe.

01:09:00And a combined weight of 726 pounds.

01:09:04The World Dog, Tissie James, Hick Pop, and Triple H.

01:09:09How many, how many members are out there?

01:09:11The entire machine.

01:09:12We'll count them, let's see.

01:09:13One, two, three, four.

01:09:15This is unbelievable.

01:09:16There's safety in numbers, you know that, Dr. Michael.

01:09:21It's a history-making match.

01:09:23First of its kind with these type of rules in the World Wrestling Federation.

01:09:26And that man, Vince McMahon, made the match.

01:09:29Here's the vote.

01:09:31And the opponent, Vince McMahon, Burrell Hebner.

01:09:43And he's back to Parker from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 275 pounds.

01:09:49Here's the World Wrestling Federation team, Burrell.

01:09:55Jake, The Rock has had his back against the wall before, but never, and I mean never,

01:10:02has The Rock ever had to face odds like he does here tonight on SmackDown.

01:10:07I hate to agree with you, but you're exactly right.

01:10:10The Rock doesn't have his back against the wall tonight.

01:10:12He's got his back against Earl Hebner.

01:10:14And look at Earl, he looks like a little scared puppy.

01:10:17Look at his ring attire.

01:10:18Earl Hebner is not a wrestler.

01:10:20He's a referee, the senior official of the World Wrestling Federation,

01:10:24forced a team with The Rock in this matchup.

01:10:27The only person that's gonna really know how scared Earl Hebner is

01:10:30is whoever does his laundry.

01:10:32Okay, I'll tell you what we need to talk about the rules of this matchup briefly.

01:10:36The World Wrestling Federation title is on the line.

01:10:40Right. If The Rock or Earl Hebner is pinned or submits,

01:10:44the title will change hands.

01:10:46Who gets the title?

01:10:48Whichever member, DX or Triple H, pins either The Rock or Earl Hebner.

01:10:54What an opportunity that is for X-Pac and the Road Dog.

01:10:57They can become the WWF Champion tonight.

01:10:59Where Triple H can regain the title and listen to this sellout crowd in Richmond.

01:11:05Well, the picture's worth a thousand words.

01:11:07I just love to see a smile on the face of Vince McMahon.

01:11:11He's happy tonight.

01:11:13D-Generation X, X-Pac, and Road Dog King arguably the best tag team in the World Wrestling

01:11:19Federation today.

01:11:20Triple H, arm in his sling or not, Triple H is indeed the game.

01:11:25So you're telling me you don't, you don't lean too highly of that, that newly formed tag team?

01:11:30The Rock and Earl Hebner.

01:11:32Earl Hebner's 5'6", 140 pounds.

01:11:35Maybe, but he's got a brick in his pocket.

01:11:38And for all intents and purposes, this matchup is three on one.

01:11:42Hell, it's a ten on one when you count the Regime who's surrounding this ring like vultures waiting to attack.

01:11:48Is there ten?

01:11:49I don't think, I think there's only nine.

01:11:50And look at The Rock, hand it away on the Road Dogg.

01:11:55Here we go.

01:11:56For all intents and purposes, King, The Rock is gonna have to do it alone.

01:12:00And an elbow from Road Dogg from The Rock.

01:12:04And The Rock, pulling for an early victory in this ring.

01:12:06And Earl tells him to Road Dogg.

01:12:09Look, Kevin, The Rock is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

01:12:12If he tags Earl in, you gotta bet Earl Hebner's gonna be pinged in about two seconds.

01:12:16So how the hell does The Rock do?

01:12:18Maybe not.

01:12:19Maybe Earl can show some flash of the brilliance.

01:12:22Maybe it's tougher than we think.

01:12:24But Brahma Bull working on the Road Dogg.

01:12:27And there's a thump in the eyes from the Road Dogg who hammers away on The Rock.

01:12:31And this is gonna be the best strategy for DX and Triple H.

01:12:35Quick tags, isolate The Rock in his corner.

01:12:38Come on Earl, what are you doing?

01:12:39What am I talking about?

01:12:40Isolating him in his corner.

01:12:41Earl Hebner's gonna be a factor if The Rock should get over there.

01:12:44Look, he's about head enough.

01:12:46He's gonna go up and just come on in here.

01:12:48Come on Earl.

01:12:48Today King is The Rock's birthday.

01:12:51And what a birthday present presented by Vince McMahon.

01:12:55The Rock fighting for his life and for his title.

01:12:59Rock ripped off the ropes.

01:13:00X-Pac misses to the right hand.

01:13:01And look at Rock, tipped away a slam.

01:13:03Hooks the leg and Rock down, hits X-Pac.

01:13:08And Triple H delivering a close line with his good arm.

01:13:12Man, what courage did that take?

01:13:14Triple H, it was the game.

01:13:16Triple H, suffering a slightly separated shoulder and backlash against The Rock.

01:13:21Slightly?

01:13:22What do you mean slightly, severely?

01:13:24Well, he didn't show too many after effects.

01:13:27With that right hand, he just delivered there on the toilet line.

01:13:29You call the Mayo Clinic, see what they tell you.

01:13:31Mayo Clinic, his shoulder was barely pulled out of the sock.

01:13:34Mayo Clinic's for cancer research, you idiot.

01:13:37And look at Triple H with boots to the midsection.

01:13:40But The Rock, Dr. Jim Andrewsson,

01:13:42he'd never seen a shoulder injury in his life in the game.

01:13:46Herring away with his right hands to the Brahma Bull.

01:13:49And The Rock, and here we go, the champion,

01:13:52helling away on the game and missing his capacity crown.

01:13:56The Rock is playing the SmackDown.

01:13:58Now get into Earl Hebner, or The Rock's got him down.

01:14:01Here we go.

01:14:02The Rock, look at Earl Hebner, you get them all.

01:14:06Go get them all, you idiot.

01:14:08Rich Fitzpatrick's own Earl Hebner, laying the SmackDown.

01:14:12My gosh.

01:14:13Look at this.

01:14:14Look at this.

01:14:15With a sling off the bat arm with Triple H.

01:14:17You can't do that.

01:14:18And the Brahma Bulls smelling blood.

01:14:20He can do whatever he wants.

01:14:23Triple H got himself into the matchup.

01:14:25That's nothing made on.

01:14:27And The Rock is desperate.

01:14:29And The Rock trying to separate the shoulder even more in the game.

01:14:32The Brahma Bulls.

01:14:35Come on, Rhett, do something.

01:14:37Look out, X-Pac with a kick to the back of the head.

01:14:40And referee Mike Chioda has his hands full on this one.

01:14:43And that's a neckbreaker by Triple H.

01:14:46Now Rock tagger, tag your partner.

01:14:49King, how the hell is Mike Chioda gonna keep order in this match?

01:14:52Don't worry about him, he's having her eyes too.

01:14:54He's part of the cult.

01:14:55X-Pac off the tag, Triple H hurt him.

01:14:58As X-Pac works on the ribs of the Brahma Bull, The Rock.

01:15:01The WWE Championship's on the line.

01:15:04Boy, and X-Pac really deserves to be champion.

01:15:06He'd make a great champion.

01:15:08And look at this.

01:15:09Earl Hebner coming into The Rock.

01:15:12But he might have hurt The Rock there.

01:15:14It allows the double team.

01:15:15The Triple H with a cheap shot.

01:15:20Earl's trying to intimidate the referee.

01:15:22I hate it when somebody does that.

01:15:23Earl's trying to do anything he can to help The Rock, King.

01:15:26The man like Mr. McMahon will never try to intimidate a referee.

01:15:29Give me a break.

01:15:32WWE title is on the line.

01:15:34Look at this.

01:15:35Look at Earl.

01:15:36Earl Hebner again into the ring.

01:15:37And again, referee Mike Chioda.

01:15:39And look at Vince McMahon.

01:15:41Yeah, The Boss.

01:15:42Real stand up man for the company, King.

01:15:44See, this is where Earl has no experience being a wrestler.

01:15:47He's hurting his own team.

01:15:49Earl Hebner's trying to help his team.

01:15:51Oh, he's an inbred Virginia.

01:15:53Well, give him some credit.

01:15:54At least he's out there.

01:15:55Yeah, he's out there.

01:15:56Hey, Earl.

01:15:57You got a string hanging off your shirt.

01:15:58Oh, that's his arm.

01:15:59Oh, could be not him at all.

01:16:00And Triple H with a right hand to The Rock.

01:16:03And King, The Rock has been beaten down systematically.

01:16:06And you have to wonder how much gas has he got left in the tank.

01:16:10He's yet to make a tag to Earl Hebner.

01:16:13Rock knows if he makes a tag and all is pinned, he'll lose the title.

01:16:17I think The Rock's Roadmelt empty right now.

01:16:20He's taking on the game in DX, three of the superior superstars in the World Wrestling Federation today.

01:16:27You know, The Road Dog will make a great champion too.

01:16:31Look at that.

01:16:32Rattling wall.

01:16:33Here's a cover by The Road Dog.

01:16:34Road Dog could be champion too, and The Rock kicks out.

01:16:37The Road Dog's a great showman.

01:16:38I can just see kids all over America doing that little juke and dive move.

01:16:42Okay, think about what The Rock's been through this week.

01:16:44Sunday at Backlash, that war against Triple H, a steel cage match on The Outlaw, and now this fiasco.

01:16:50And The Rock's trying to battle back.

01:16:53Well, what a spinning heel kick by X-Pac.

01:16:56Stone Cold helped The Rock win this time.

01:16:58No.

01:16:59The Magic's got a Stone Cold.

01:17:00The Rock's got Earl Hebner.

01:17:02The Rock is out there in no man's land.

01:17:05The regime surrounds the ring.

01:17:07There's a man.

01:17:08And all of a sudden, King, Triple H seems like that hurt shoulder's getting a little bit better, doesn't it?

01:17:14No problem with that headlock.

01:17:15It's like a miracle.

01:17:16I told you that Dr. Jim Andrews says.

01:17:18Triple H has amazing recuperative power.

01:17:21Will you shut up, Miracles?

01:17:22The Rock's in trouble here.

01:17:25Hey, Rock.

01:17:26I forgot to tell you, happy birthday.

01:17:28And Triple H and DX are picking apart the Brahma Bull.

01:17:33Uh-oh, what's this?

01:17:34And X-Pac wants Earl Hebner.

01:17:36And Earl Hebner wants no part of DX.

01:17:38Get in there, you coward.

01:17:39Not two on one, he said.

01:17:41Look at him, back away.

01:17:42Uh-oh.

01:17:43Oh, yeah.

01:17:44Yeah, be a big man, Triple H.

01:17:46Yeah, big bully.

01:17:47Get in there.

01:17:48Come on now.

01:17:49Here's your chance, you're in your hometown.

01:17:50Yeah, what are you gonna do to him now?

01:17:52This is embarrassing.

01:17:55It's humiliating.

01:17:56And The Rock, The Rock battling back.

01:17:59The Rock is battling back.

01:18:01The Cavalry's arrived.

01:18:03It's Punk.

01:18:04It's Punk.

01:18:05Look out.

01:18:06DDT.

01:18:07Put the rope down.

01:18:09Hey, look at him.

01:18:10It's Martin Buster.

01:18:12And the tag is Shane.

01:18:13Pat Patterson.

01:18:14Patterson and Briscoe.

01:18:16The Rock is cleaning Rasheem House.

01:18:19What is going on, Shane?

01:18:20Get out of there.

01:18:21Hey, it's just Jericho.

01:18:26Jericho.

01:18:27One, two, J.

01:18:28What's he doing down there?

01:18:29Referee, get him out of here.

01:18:31And this McMahon just clashed Jericho.

01:18:33Look at this.

01:18:34Look at this.

01:18:35Earl Hebdo with a low-blown axe cut.

01:18:38Earl Hebdo with a low-blown axe cut.

01:18:41Rock bottom.

01:18:42Rock bottom.

01:18:43Rock bottom.

01:18:44It's over.

01:18:45Rock bottom.

01:18:46Rock bottom.

01:18:47Rock bottom.

01:18:48Rock bottom.

01:18:49Rock bottom.

01:18:50Rock bottom.

01:18:51It's crazy.

01:18:52Here's your next hero.

01:18:54You're a great hero of a sensation.

01:18:57All right.

01:18:59Earl Hebdo with a low-blown just as Jack Clark was gonna do a good chair shot.

01:19:04Helps the Rock retain the title.

01:19:07This is not right.

01:19:09This is a nightmare for Vince McMahon.

01:19:11Vince McMahon is furious.

01:19:13Look at the ring.

01:19:14Look at that.

01:19:15Triple H from behind.

01:19:16Come on.

01:19:17Look at him.

01:19:18Hefner trying to run for his life.

01:19:22Earl Wright.

01:19:23Yeah, right.

01:19:24Shane and Vince.

01:19:25Earl was trying to run for his life.

01:19:26And he was cut off in the past.

01:19:28Chris Jericho lying outside the ring.

01:19:31He's down where he belongs.

01:19:32He should be fired from striking Vince McMahon.

01:19:34Look out.

01:19:36No.

01:19:37Triple H is incensed after losing the title earlier this week to The Rock.

01:19:42And he's taking it out of The Rock.

01:19:44And he's taking it out of The Rock.

01:19:45It's all about the title for Triple H.

01:19:47No.

01:19:48Not the pedigree.

01:19:50Come on now.

01:19:53Take your time.

01:19:57Did you hear Vince?

01:19:58Vince said that's gonna be here.

01:20:00You guys being forced to watch this.

01:20:02The Rock is outclacking.

01:20:04Yeah.

01:20:05Earl Hefner just watching an execution.

01:20:07And he's a dead man walking.

01:20:08The Rock retained his title, but he paid for it.

01:20:11You're gonna walk that green mile.

01:20:13You're set, Earl.

01:20:14The big man just shoved Earl Hefner into the walls.

01:20:17Uh-oh.

01:20:18Come on.

01:20:19He's 140 pounds, Kang.

01:20:21What the hell is Triple H and DX gonna do to him?

01:20:24Earl Hefner is about to shoot.

01:20:26Would you be?

01:20:28He's scared to death.

01:20:31Earl Hefner is scared to death.

01:20:32He's petrified.

01:20:33Look at this.

01:20:34Triple H.

01:20:35No.

01:20:36Come on.

01:20:37Right in the face of Earl Hefner.

01:20:39A right hand right in the mouth.

01:20:42What the hell did Earl Hefner do to deserve that?

01:20:45What do you mean, what did he do?

01:20:47He screwed Triple H.

01:20:50Yeah, big man.

01:20:52Yeah, the game.

01:20:53Right hand to a helpless Earl Hefner.

01:20:56What the hell does that prove, Kang?

01:20:57I'll tell you this, Earl Hefner should have, uh-oh.

01:20:59No.

01:21:00He should have never answered the phone when Linda McMahon called him.

01:21:03Earl Hefner's bleeding from the mouth.

01:21:06Somebody stop this.

01:21:08He may have internal injuries, Kang, a broken jaw.

01:21:12Triple H's life is consumed with winning back the WWE title.

01:21:18He blames Earl Hefner for screwing him.

01:21:21This damn street gang attack and eliminated The Rock, and now they're picking apart Earl.

01:21:26No, not.

01:21:27And they're proud of this.

01:21:31Kang, what else can they possibly do to this poor man?

01:21:37Uh, I'm sure they'll think of something.

01:21:40Humiliated in front of his hometown crowd by a bunch of bullies.

01:21:46In advance.

01:21:47Yeah, right.

01:21:48He's making an example out of Earl Hefner.

01:21:50Boom.

01:21:51Somebody stop this.

01:21:53Mr. McMahon is-

01:21:54This brave guy.

01:21:56Mr. McMahon is almost maniacal, Kang.

01:21:59Bro-dog, The Rock is helpless.

01:22:04Oh, no.

01:22:05Oh, he's not gonna do this.

01:22:06Somebody stop this damn carnage.

01:22:08I told you they'd think of something else to do.

01:22:11Pedigree on a metal chair.

01:22:13Oh, yeah.

01:22:14They may have cracked his skull on a steel chair.

01:22:17What's the point, Kang?

01:22:19Please tell me what the point is.

01:22:21Uh-oh.

01:22:22How are they?

01:22:23Linda McMahon reinstated Earl Hefner at Backlash, but that blessing has turned into a curse.

01:22:29Wait a minute.

01:22:30Wait a minute.

01:22:31It's Rikishi.

01:22:32I'm thinking of a curse.

01:22:33Rikishi.

01:22:34I think was before I got an RRU, Rikishi.

01:22:37Rikishi trying to come to the aid of his forward finger rock.

01:22:41He's trying to do the right thing.

01:22:43He's trying to do the right thing, damn it.

01:22:45Well, he's stupid.

01:22:46Well, he's being outnumbered.

01:22:47That's why he's stupid.

01:22:49Wait a minute.

01:22:51Big Show.

01:22:53Shane McMahon.

01:22:54He told the Big Show he's pathetic.

01:22:58What?

01:22:59Look out.

01:23:00Shane's got Shane with a headbutt.

01:23:01Shane McMahon right for calling Big Show pathetic and a waste of oxygen.

01:23:08Well, I'll tell you what the Big Show doing.

01:23:10He's shining his career away.

01:23:11Now Shane's got him.

01:23:12And look at this.

01:23:14Again.

01:23:15Choking down Shane.

01:23:18The Rock's in La La Land.

01:23:23And now TX.

01:23:24Are they changing?

01:23:25The Rock is back up.

01:23:26The Rock's back in it.

01:23:27The Rock's back in it.

01:23:28The Rock's back in it.

01:23:29The Rock trying to put him back.

01:23:33The Rock.

01:23:34No.

01:23:35A low glow.

01:23:36The Rock's not in it.

01:23:37The Rock's not in it.

01:23:38The Rock's not in it.

01:23:39It'll go blow to the Big Show.

01:23:45What is going on?

01:23:46Well, there goes Shane McMahon.

01:23:48Yeah, I bet he's happy.

01:23:49Look at the maniacal smile on the face of that man.

01:23:52Look out.

01:23:53Look out.

01:23:54The Dudley's in the table cave.

01:23:55Stephanie, Torrey, look out.

01:23:56Remember that Stephanie and Torrey said that the Dudley's are in your eye.

01:23:59And the Dudley's are back.

01:24:00It's play back time.

01:24:01Look out, Stephanie.

01:24:02The Dudley boys cleaning house.

01:24:03Those Dudley's are fools.

01:24:04Do they realize what they're doing?

01:24:05Look at Bubba Ray, he's actually threatening Vince McMahon.

01:24:07Vince, look at everybody that's in the ring.

01:24:09Make notes.

01:24:10He's doing it.

01:24:23I'm sure he is.

01:24:24Y2J, Rikishi, Big Show, and the damn Dudley's.

01:24:29They'll all have hell to pay for this, Michael.

01:24:31Hey, wait a minute.

01:24:35Coral Patterson, Briscoe, they really don't deserve this kind of treatment.

01:24:38Wait a minute.

01:24:39What?

01:24:42You dance with the devil and you pay.

01:24:45Pat Patterson a headbutt.

01:24:48They want it back in the Regime King.

01:24:51Well, guess what?

01:24:52What?

01:24:53They're the sacrificial lambs tonight.

01:24:55And listen to the crowd.

01:25:00They want what?

01:25:02Pat Patterson.

01:25:05Sticky face on Patterson.

01:25:07Sticky face on Patterson.

01:25:10Rick Casey doing a number on Patterson.

01:25:13And what's Devon doing?

01:25:15No, Devon sitting at the table.

01:25:17Devon and Bubba Ray could get one.

01:25:20The Dudley Boys.

01:25:22Boy.

01:25:24What?

01:25:25No.

01:25:26We've seen the Dudley Boys do this to Lita, to Trish.

01:25:31Wait a minute, not Jerry Briscoe.

01:25:33To Terry.

01:25:34But Briscoe deserves it.

01:25:35Briscoe deserves this.

01:25:37Yes.

01:25:38Bummer Ray driving Gerald Briscoe through a table.

01:25:43No.

01:25:44And you know what they say, King?

01:25:46Paybacks are up.

01:25:48No.

01:25:50No.

01:25:51EMT's coming down to help out Earl Hegner, but listen to this.

01:25:57He empacked Jerry Briscoe through a table.

01:26:00And this is one of the darkest days in Royal Wrestling Federation history.

01:26:07But the battle lines have been drawn.

01:26:10The brutal attack.

01:26:12The heinous attack.

01:26:14Disturbing, all right?

01:26:15Right here in front of his hometown fans.

01:26:17That's what's left of Earl Hegner.

01:26:19And what does that say for the Lintman Helmsley regime?

01:26:22It's a cowardly attack.

01:26:27I mean, why attack a man like that?

01:26:29I'm gonna shout out to him.

01:26:30Watch.

01:26:31Earl Hegner's a referee, King.

01:26:32He's a family man.

01:26:34He was forced into this matchup tonight

01:26:36because Vince McMahon has a personal vendetta against Earl Hegner

01:26:40because he believes that Earl Hegner cost Triple H

01:26:43the World Wrestling Federation title.

01:26:45Do you know that's a fact?

01:26:46Earl Hegner screwed Triple H out of the title.

01:26:48He wanted to be a hero.

01:26:50Then the McMahon called him out,

01:26:52and this is what he got for his troubles.
