00:00:23It's a night of new beginnings.
00:00:26You are cordially invited to attend the wedding of General Manager Theodore Long and Crystal Marshall as we celebrate the season premiere of Friday Night SmackDown.
00:00:38This is the ATL Atlanta Georgia home to Friday Night SmackDown tonight.

00:01:06Hey, it's all the same night.
00:01:09I'm here welcoming all the guests and if you look right over here we have the chairman of the board, Vince McMahon.
00:01:16And Vince, I just wanted to congratulate you on your son and where is he?
00:01:26My son.
00:01:27Well, we don't know where my son is but we know where he's not.
00:01:33He's not here tonight, right coach?
00:01:35That's right, sir.
00:01:36Just give me a minute.
00:01:37Thanks for introducing me, Maria.
00:01:38But guys, I gotta tell you, I'm your biggest fan.

00:01:52Look at this guy, for real.
00:01:53He said we're the king of country?
00:01:55What?
00:01:56What's wrong with this guy?
00:01:57What, what, what?
00:01:58I like Hornswoggle more than I like you.
00:02:00Well, I'll be here all night with the yin yang twins and let's get this party started.
00:02:07J.D. Cooper, the wind is going down.
00:02:10Ha!
00:02:11Right there.
00:02:12Sound ofude!
00:02:18Sound ofude!
00:02:26Sound ofude!
00:02:31Sound of comfortable with the world, this is the Reason One of the The horrificBig Birds.
00:02:37We welcome you to television's most exciting night
00:03:03in its most action-packed show.
00:03:05This is the season premiere of Friday Night SmackDown on The CW.
00:03:10There is absolutely no doubt, ladies and gentlemen, that tonight in Hot Lana
00:03:14is going to be the biggest season premiere in not only SmackDown but television history.
00:03:20The show that's changing Friday nights, the wedding of the century.
00:03:24And not only is this show changing Friday nights, it's changing pay-per-views.
00:03:28We're still reeling after what happened this past Sunday at Unforgiven.
00:03:35And what happened Sunday is this man, The Animal,
00:03:42became the new World Heavyweight Champion.
00:03:47Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to your new World Heavyweight Champion,
00:03:52Bautista!
00:03:57John Stolling at Unforgiven, Mark Day, the culmination of a five and a half month
00:04:01journey to once again regain the gold.
00:04:03Bautista defeating Great Khali and Rey Mysterio in a triple threat match.
00:04:08Bautista made a colossal effort against the colossus of a man, The Great Khali, and the former
00:04:10World Champion, his buddy Rey Mysterio in a triple threat match.
00:04:15Bautista made a colossal effort against the colossus of a man, The Great Khali, and the former
00:04:22World Champion, his buddy Rey Mysterio.
00:04:24It was, Michael, a night to remember.
00:04:27How can you forget?
00:04:28That's what I just said, it's a night to remember.
00:04:30Bautista lifting the 420 pound Khali off his feet and delivering a spine pounding spine buster,
00:04:37allowing Bautista to win the world title for a third time.
00:04:43Yeah!
00:05:00Hell yeah!
00:05:05Y'all have no, no idea how good I feel.
00:05:09So, I'm all dressed up, got my new suit on, got my new shoes on.
00:05:16Bam!
00:05:18I'm in Hot Lanta!
00:05:24And I am once again the World Heavyweight Champion!
00:05:29Yes!
00:05:34This Sunday, with Unforgiven, I was fortunate enough to overcome the former, let me say that
00:05:47again, the former World Heavyweight Champion, The Great Khali.
00:05:53And my good friend, a man who I respect very much, and I was proud and privileged to compete against,
00:06:03Mr. 619, Rey Mysterio.
00:06:06Yes, sir.
00:06:07Yes, sir.
00:06:08Rey, you're my brother, I love you, and you will be World Heavyweight Champion again.
00:06:13I know it in my heart.
00:06:17But for right now, for me, The Great Khali will exercise the rematch clause in his contract.
00:06:35So, as it stands, it will be The Great Khali versus Batista at No Mercy.
00:06:49In what he calls, a Punjabi Prison Match.
00:07:04Well, ladies and gentlemen, the self-proclaimed silverback, the world's strongest man, Mark Henry,
00:07:14who John Sunday at Unforgiven gave The Returning Undertaker a hell of a physical battle.
00:07:21But what brings him out to confront the animal tonight?
00:07:24Mark Henry said he's gonna do whatever he wants, and nobody can do anything about it.
00:07:29I think that's what brings Mark Henry out.
00:07:32He's the king of the jungle, Michael.
00:07:34Mark Henry does whatever he wants.
00:07:37The excitement trains the rule upon him.
00:07:39We fear of being.
00:07:40Yeah.
00:07:42Somebody gonna get the ass kicked.
00:07:43Somebody gonna get the week's lit.
00:07:45Somebody gonna get the ass kicked.
00:07:48Somebody gonna get the dals kicked.
00:07:50Somebody gonna get the gags lit.
00:07:51Beat em up, beat em up.
00:07:52Break a step, break a step.
00:07:54Beat em up.
00:07:55Batista.
00:07:57I could care less
00:07:59about this celebration of yours.
00:08:02I could care less
00:08:07about your Pujabi prison match
00:08:11that you're going to have
00:08:13with the great Khali at No Mercy.
00:08:17But what I do care about
00:08:20is next week
00:08:22The Undertaker returns to SmackDown
00:08:27in a match against me.
00:08:32The world's strongest man.
00:08:39What I'm going to do is I'm going to end
00:08:43The Undertaker's illustrious career.
00:08:49Come to think of it, I might need a little warm-up
00:08:53for The Undertaker next week.
00:08:56And don't worry.
00:08:59Don't worry.
00:09:01I won't even take a shot at your precious new title.
00:09:08Because all these people know
00:09:12And deep in your heart you know that if I want that belt
00:09:19I'll take it whenever I want it.
00:09:21Mark Henry
00:09:32You are as stupid as you are ugly.
00:09:36The last time I checked, you were getting your ass handed to you at Unforgiven by the Dead Man.
00:09:43And you got the nerve?
00:09:45You got the nerve to come out here and call me out?
00:09:47I'll tell you what.
00:09:48I'll tell you what.
00:09:49I'll tell you what.
00:09:50I'll tell you what.
00:09:51You've had a Batista beatdown coming for a long ass time.
00:09:54But tonight, you're gonna get it.
00:09:59You want a match?
00:10:00You got it.
00:10:01We're on.
00:10:03The season premiere of SmackDown just got a whole lot bigger.
00:10:10I'm not sure how Lana can hold these two.
00:10:14This is gonna be a clash of titans.
00:10:18Also tonight, the wedding of General Manager Theodore Long and Crystal Marshall,
00:10:24all a part of this biggest season premiere in SmackDown history.
00:10:29The new world champion in action tonight and also the high-flying Rey Mysterio.
00:10:38Speaks his first interview on SmackDown since returning from injury.
00:10:43Rey Mysterio with plenty to say on the season premiere tonight.
00:10:48Welcome back to this very special season premiere of Friday Night SmackDown.
00:10:53And still to come tonight, our general manager, Theodore Long, ties the knot with Crystal Marshall.
00:11:01I got Yang.
00:11:02I got Yang.
00:11:03I got Yang.
00:11:04I got Yang.
00:11:05And welcome back to the premiere of Friday Night SmackDown.
00:11:09This is the party version of SmackDown.
00:11:12Yes, it is the party version.
00:11:13And tonight, we have the Intercontinental Champion.
00:11:17Jeff Hardy.
00:11:18What's going on tonight?
00:11:19Yeah, I'm here for a wedding.
00:11:20Tonight's all about love.
00:11:21What's going on?
00:11:22Hey, man.
00:11:23You got it, man.
00:11:24Come on.
00:11:25Let me touch.
00:11:26Can I touch?
00:11:27Don't hesitate.
00:11:28Oh.
00:11:29Look.
00:11:30A little heavy.
00:11:31A little heavy.
00:11:32A little heavy.
00:11:33A little heavy.
00:11:34Hey.
00:11:35Hey.
00:11:36Hey.
00:11:37Hey.
00:11:38You got your belt.
00:11:39A little heavy.
00:11:40Let me touch.
00:11:41You got the flag cap.
00:11:42Look.
00:11:43This is.
00:11:44You can only, you can only see me with this on TV.
00:11:47This really didn't.
00:11:48Ha.
00:11:49Ha.
00:11:50Very nice.
00:11:51Let's keep this party going.
00:11:54I know you got some moves.
00:11:56I know you got some moves.
00:11:57All right.
00:11:58All right.
00:11:59All right.
00:12:00Let's keep it going.
00:12:01This contest is set for one fall, approaching the ring first, from Osdell, Georgia, weighing
00:12:17206 pounds, Jimmy Wei-Yang.
00:12:21Well, John, all the stars are out tonight.
00:12:23Jeff Hardy from Raw, the Ying Yang twins, Maria, and Jimmy Wei-Yang, SmackDown's resident
00:12:29redneck, right here in Georgia.
00:12:31George is from right here.
00:12:32I think he's an offspring of Michael Hayes and Genric Kutinru.
00:12:40And from Hanover, West Virginia, weighing 202 pounds, Jamie Noble.
00:12:46Now, Jamie Noble looks absolutely dejected.
00:12:50The man has been upset, terrorized, paranoid about Mr. McMahon's illegitimate son, Hornswad,
00:12:57Michael, the Cruiserweight champion who's beaten Jamie Noble on three separate occasions
00:13:01and busted the number of matchups.
00:13:04Yeah, but think about this, Michael.
00:13:06He, Jamie Noble got beat by a leprechaun.
00:13:09He is the only person in the history of wrestling to be beat by a leprechaun.
00:13:12And now you find out the leprechaun is a McMahon.
00:13:16Well, Mr. McMahon and Coachman have arrived here.
00:13:19Jonathan Coachman for the wedding of Theodore Long and Crystal Marshall here on the season
00:13:24premiere of Friday Night SmackDown.
00:13:25And speaking of SmackDown, Jon, the only place that you're going to see Cruiserweight action
00:13:29is here on Friday Night for the CW.
00:13:34Jimmy Wayne Yang is goofy as a pet coon, but he is talented.
00:13:38Is he ever?
00:13:39Fun to watch.
00:13:41He's a high flyer, very unorthodox in the ring.
00:13:44Just nuts.
00:13:45And what hell of a dancer.
00:13:48Oh!
00:13:48You want to dance with him?
00:13:51No, I just think he's a great dancer.
00:13:53Two different.
00:13:54Two different styles in this matchup.
00:14:00Jimmy Wayne Yang much more of a high flyer than Jamie Noble,
00:14:03who however used the ropes to his advantage there.
00:14:07We heard moments ago, Jon, that tonight, the world champion, Batista,
00:14:12is gonna be in action against the world's strongest man, Mark Henry.
00:14:17And it's been well documented, the history between those two men.
00:14:22Remember, it was Batista, the world champion, for the first time
00:14:26when Mark Henry injured him, forcing Batista to relinquish the championship
00:14:30and also miss nearly a year of action.
00:14:34And in Batista's side, there's been no payback.
00:14:36There's been no retribution.
00:14:37There's been no redemption from Batista for being put out for months by Mark Henry.
00:14:44He also had the wedding of the century tonight, Crystal Marshall, Theodore Long.
00:14:48I mean, you can compare this to Eva and Tony.
00:14:51How about Tom and Katie?
00:14:53JBL and Meredith.
00:14:54Absolutely.
00:14:56Not quite as big as that.
00:14:57Diana and Charles.
00:14:58Jimmy Wayne Yang.
00:15:01Taking control, but Jamie Noble with the heel kick to the jaw.
00:15:05Crawls to the cover, shoulders down, and a kick out.
00:15:08Jamie Noble, John, in my estimation, really needs a victory here tonight.
00:15:12It's been a rough stretch since the Great American Bash for Jamie Noble.
00:15:16Jamie Noble needs a lot of moves.
00:15:18One thing he doesn't need is talent.
00:15:20Jamie Noble is one of the greatest cruiserweights of all time.
00:15:23He is fantastic.
00:15:25He somehow, though, has let this leprechaun get in his head
00:15:29and embarrass him night after night after night.
00:15:32Dr. Melfi is what Jamie Noble needs.
00:15:34And Noble into the cover, shoulders down, and a kick out.
00:15:41And not only is Hornswoggle in Jamie Noble's head,
00:15:43I believe he's also in the head of his dad, Mr. McMahon.
00:15:49Monday Night Raw.
00:15:50What is that Monday night?
00:15:52Mr. McMahon trying to put Hornswoggle up for adoption.
00:15:54I still can't believe that he would do that to his illegitimate son
00:15:57that he's tried for so long to find out who it is.
00:16:00Come on.
00:16:01You're a billionaire, okay?
00:16:02Hey, you're from Ireland, you end up having this leprechaun.
00:16:04Wouldn't you put it up for adoption, too?
00:16:06Not at all.
00:16:06It's an it.
00:16:07It's not really a person.
00:16:08It's an it.
00:16:08It's an it.
00:16:09It's a McMahon's son.
00:16:10That's what Hornswoggle is.
00:16:12Jimmy Wayne Yang.
00:16:14What a kick to the back of the head.
00:16:17An amazing kick by the high-flying Jimmy Wayne Yang into the cover.
00:16:21Shoulders down.
00:16:22Noble kicks out at two.
00:16:23The only place to see this cruiserweight action right here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:16:27There's the athleticism of Jimmy Wayne Yang.
00:16:30And there's the different styles I was telling you about.
00:16:33Jamie Noble for the pounding ground attack taking control.
00:16:36Is that Jimmy Wayne Yang right in the middle of the ring?
00:16:40Quit.
00:16:41You hear Noble yelling quit to Jimmy Wayne Yang in this submission maneuver.
00:16:48Actually, Jamie Noble yelling quit.
00:16:50He's got like two eyes to it.
00:16:51Jimmy Wayne Yang trying to make it to the rope, but he does.
00:16:53That'll force Jamie Noble to break this hold or risk disqualification.
00:16:58But the damage is done.
00:17:00Even when you don't get a tap out in a submission move like that, Michael,
00:17:03you do damage that shoulder.
00:17:05Whether it's long-term or not, Jimmy Wayne Yang is not going to effectively be able
00:17:08to use that shoulder the rest of this match.
00:17:11We talked about both of these men being cruiserweights.
00:17:13The current cruiserweight champion is Hornswoggle,
00:17:16who won that at the Great American Bash
00:17:18by pinning Jamie Noble in a cruiserweight opening.
00:17:25And then pinned him again.
00:17:27And then pinned Jamie again.
00:17:29Actually, Noble was counted out twice and pinned once.
00:17:31Hey!
00:17:33Look at John!
00:17:34Hornswoggle!
00:17:36Hornswoggle!
00:17:38And maybe Jamie Noble is going to finally get his hit.
00:17:43Hey!
00:17:44Shannon Moore!
00:17:47Oh!
00:17:48And Jimmy Wayne Yang took advantage.
00:17:52Look like Dominique Wilkins.
00:17:55Nothing but the human highlight reel.
00:17:58Flying.
00:17:59The human highlight reel.
00:18:00Midlander Hawks.
00:18:02Jimmy Wayne Yang.
00:18:03Look at the move.
00:18:04Tombo takes Noble out.
00:18:05Hooks the leg.
00:18:06Shoulders down.
00:18:07He got him.
00:18:12So we're going to win this match.
00:18:14Jimmy Wayne Yang.
00:18:16Hornswoggle is not even here as far as we know.
00:18:20And he still can beat Jamie Noble again.
00:18:23Well, Shannon Moore capitalizing on Noble's paranoia to his own game.
00:18:28Poking fun at Jamie Noble.
00:18:30And here's what happened.
00:18:34Jimmy Wayne Yang took complete advantage.
00:18:36Jamie Noble is so obsessed with Hornswoggle that he thought Shannon Moore.
00:18:42I thought Shannon Moore was actually Hornswoggle.
00:18:44Here are most of our fans.
00:18:46Yeah, but you didn't leave your duties and go grab it like Jamie Noble did.
00:18:49And Jimmy Wayne Yang incoming, taking advantage.
00:18:53And here's that patented moonsault from the top rope.
00:18:57What an athleticism.
00:18:58One of the best moonsaults I've ever seen.
00:19:02Jamie Noble, he can't get the monkey off his back.
00:19:07Or the leprechaun as it might be.
00:19:08And now Shannon Moore is having fun at Noble's expense.
00:19:12For me.
00:19:22Hey, Captain.
00:19:25Are you actually going to throw over your nuts?
00:19:27And I'm getting in my zone, man.
00:19:29My all-pro.
00:19:29Hey, I don't want to interrupt you.
00:19:31You wouldn't know anything about that.
00:19:33Zone.
00:19:33All right, so then don't, okay?
00:19:34As a matter of fact, I'm ready.
00:19:35Okay, MVP.
00:19:36Drop step.
00:19:43Deflect it.
00:19:43Here we go.
00:19:45Top back.
00:19:46Beat that, huh?
00:19:47I am world class, but I hit the tire.
00:19:50How do you swim a little bit?
00:19:51Okay.
00:19:52No, the defender batted it.
00:19:53I caught it back, completed the pass.
00:19:55That's perfectly neat.
00:19:55So are you two for three or three for three?
00:19:57I'm three for three.
00:19:58Okay.
00:19:59Okay.
00:19:59I'm about set.
00:20:00I like your rules.
00:20:01No excuses.
00:20:02No excuses.
00:20:03Here we go.
00:20:03You ready?
00:20:06One for one.
00:20:07It's not bad.
00:20:08Do you get it?
00:20:09You ready?
00:20:11Two for two.
00:20:12Oh!
00:20:13I'm on three.
00:20:14And you know what?
00:20:14I guarantee you, they won't bat this one away.
00:20:18Oh, but what about interception?
00:20:21An interception.
00:20:22Hey, man.
00:20:22There's no interceptions in this.
00:20:23I can't help myself.
00:20:24I'm a world class defensive player.
00:20:25Oh, you're a defensive player?
00:20:26Exactly.
00:20:27Well, who taught you defense, man?
00:20:29Bill Belichick?
00:20:31Listen, you just make it because I'm better than you.
00:20:35You're better than me?
00:20:36Yeah, I'm better than you.
00:20:37I disagree.
00:20:38Look, man.
00:20:38I beat you.
00:20:39I beat you in this.
00:20:40I beat you in basketball.
00:20:42I beat you in arm wrestling.
00:20:43I beat you in chess, man.
00:20:44I beat you in wrestling.
00:20:45Wait, man.
00:20:45How do you figure I'm the United States champion?
00:20:47How'd you do that?
00:20:48Only because you won't give me a rematch.
00:20:51That's why you're the U.S. champion.
00:20:52Matt, we're losing our focus.
00:20:55We're the tag team champions.
00:20:57We got to focus on the tag team titles.
00:20:59As a matter of fact, we have a match up next.
00:21:01Let's go.
00:21:01Team captain, come on.
00:21:02Let's go.
00:21:02Let's go.
00:21:04The unlikely tag team champions are in action next.
00:21:11But tonight, Michael Batista, the animal,
00:21:14finally gets a shot at the man that put him out for months.
00:21:17The massive world's strongest man, Mark Henry.
00:21:22Did you hear that?
00:21:35He has risen.
00:21:38Did you feel that?
00:21:41He walks again.
00:21:45Did you see that?
00:21:46You're falling from there in yourselves.
00:21:48The Undertaker next week on SmackDown.
00:22:03Well, here's the man who's been having a very difficult time in these non-wrestling competitions
00:22:19against Matt Hardy, his tag team partner.
00:22:21I mean, I want you to lose in a chess game, a beer-drinking contest, basketball, boxing.
00:22:30And tonight, I think he would have lost the football.
00:22:33The following is a tag team contest.
00:22:35It's from George.
00:22:36Introducing first, from Miami, Florida, Wayne Duel.
00:22:44Here's one half of the WWE tag team champions and the United States champion,
00:22:51Montel Montevideo Porter.
00:22:54And this is...
00:22:56Look, I know football, Michael.
00:22:58I have never seen a DB break on a ball.
00:23:01I'm not even Neon Dion waiting for the Falcons like MVP did on that pass.
00:23:05Where I'm heading.
00:23:07Interception.
00:23:08Strike up the man.
00:23:09Nobody to stop.
00:23:10Nobody.
00:23:12Oh, yeah!
00:23:16Well, he's missing his tag team partner.
00:23:19From Cameron, North Carolina.
00:23:21Weighed 236.
00:23:22He is the other half of the WWE tag team champions, Matt Hardy.
00:23:30It's all about anything you can do.
00:23:32I can do better between Matt Hardy and MVP.
00:23:34But, John, they make one heck of a tag team successfully defending the tag team goal
00:23:39Sunday at Unforgiven against Newsom Domino.
00:23:41Matt Hardy has become one of the greatest tag teams in 112 time.
00:23:45Eight tag team championships.
00:23:48This is a great tag team.
00:23:50If these two guys, MVP and Matt Hardy, can just get along, they might be phenomenal.
00:23:57They've been phenomenal thus far.
00:24:02And tonight, the season premiere of WWE SmackDown is being brought to you by the
00:24:07auto parts experts at AutoZone.
00:24:09Get in the zone.
00:24:11AutoZone.
00:24:12And by PlayStation 3, Beyond Evolution, Beyond Power, Way Beyond.
00:24:18And by the new Baconator, only at Wendy's.
00:24:22How'd you like it?
00:24:23You had one of those earlier today.
00:24:24I'm gonna die right now, but I do love Baconators.
00:24:26And being the company for the ring by Sherry, from the other side of the tracks,
00:24:51had a combined weight of 465 pounds, Deuce and Domino.
00:24:57I've lost a half a pound in the last three months.
00:25:00Well, Deuce and Domino lost a few pounds over the past month, losing the tag team titles to
00:25:05MVP and Matt Hardy about a month ago here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:25:08But I'll tell you, Deuce and Domino gave MVP and Matt Hardy all they can handle Sunday night.
00:25:13And this is a huge opportunity for this team to get right back in the tag team title hunt
00:25:18if they can knock off the champion.
00:25:20You gotta remember this, Michael.
00:25:21Deuce and Domino have barely been here half a year.
00:25:23These guys came in, and within a couple months, were tag team champions.
00:25:27They are a very good tag team.
00:25:30Don't forget, Deuce and Domino, like a world win,
00:25:32knocked off one of the most successful tag teams in SmackDown history.
00:25:36London and Kendrick, who, of course, held those titles for nearly a year.
00:25:40So the unlikely tag team, the champions of Matt Hardy and MVP set to get underway
00:25:46against Deuce and Domino.
00:25:50It's like Michael Zick has needed to even up.
00:25:52And the captain, the self-proclaimed captain MVP,
00:26:00called Matt Hardy to start, but Matt Hardy says, no, captain, you start.
00:26:06And Deuce takes immediate advantage of MVP.
00:26:08And John, you gotta believe it's only a matter of time before these two, Matt Hardy and MVP are,
00:26:13well, gonna cost one another a double team or something of that nature.
00:26:16And there's the tremendous athleticism of the United States champion, MVP, very aggressive.
00:26:24Half man, half amazing, half tag team champion, only man can beat three halves, MVP.
00:26:29And look at him, he's the captain right now, they're working together.
00:26:32A little teamwork, double team, for MVP and Matt Hardy.
00:26:35And, well, it looked like it was gonna be a double elbow, John,
00:26:38a MVP with the early clothesline.
00:26:41You and Ron never did that when you were a tag team with the APA.
00:26:44No, we thought he wouldn't get in the ring.
00:26:46Matt Hardy, eight-time tag team champion.
00:26:50One of the most successful tag team champions in the history of sports entertainment.
00:26:55Swingy neckbreaker.
00:26:56And MVP doing all the work as usual.
00:26:57Matt Hardy hooks the leg, kick out at one, I beg to differ on that point.
00:27:01The night that MVP and Matt Hardy won the tag team title, John,
00:27:05Matt Hardy did all the work.
00:27:07And MVP, well, he took advantage to pick up the victory.
00:27:11Who got the victory?
00:27:13MVP, but another great tag made between MVP and Matt Hardy.
00:27:19A little dissension among the ranks.
00:27:21Well, come on, Captain.
00:27:22Cover by MVP.
00:27:24Shoulders down and a kick out by Deuce.
00:27:26And Deuce, the smash-mouth style of Deuce and Domino.
00:27:35There's the drop, toehold.
00:27:37It's hard to believe, John, that MVP has only been on SmackDown.
00:27:41Not even a year yet.
00:27:45From behind, Deuce and Domino.
00:27:48Gaining an advantage working as a team.
00:27:52Cover by Deuce, hook of the leg, and a kick out.
00:27:54Can MVP and Matt Hardy get back on the same page?
00:28:01We are back on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:28:03Deuce and Domino taking advantage of the tag team champions.
00:28:10And this is what happened before the commercial break.
00:28:13MVP, Matt Hardy in control before Deuce and Domino showing why they're former tag team champs.
00:28:18MVP going for that Chono boot, forgets about the other tag team partner.
00:28:24We talk about the competition between MVP and Matt Hardy.
00:28:27The latest edition of the WWE Magazine, the 2007 preview, rankings of superstars from all three brands.
00:28:34MVP and Matt Hardy literally in a dead heat, John, too close to call.
00:28:40Here's the cover, hook of the leg, and a kick out.
00:28:43And what they do predict, the magazine, is that one day, Matt Hardy will be United States champion.
00:28:47And Domino and Deuce doing a great job isolating MVP.
00:28:54Again, one of the reasons they're former tag team champions.
00:28:58Matt Hardy right now, though, sliding is one half of the tag team champions.
00:29:05I mean, Matt needs to quit being so selfish.
00:29:07I wasn't sliding anywhere, John.
00:29:08Hey, let's go.
00:29:09I thought you were.
00:29:10Deuce, with Sherry in ringside, Deuce's girlfriend, Domino's sister.
00:29:16Tell you what's amazing, MVP's not looking too good here right now.
00:29:19But MVP has been in his company, Michael, less than a year.
00:29:22He is already a double champion.
00:29:25Signed that the biggest free agent contract in SmackDown history,
00:29:29the end of September last year.
00:29:31What a double team by Deuce and Domino.
00:29:34This one's over, hook of the leg, and Matt Hardy saves the matchup for
00:29:39the tag team champions.
00:29:41That is that tag team sense by Matt Hardy, John, on a night where Teddy Long,
00:29:46our general manager, is gonna marry Crystal Marshall.
00:29:49On a night where the world champion Batista is gonna go one-on-one with Mark Henry,
00:29:54the season premiere of SmackDown.
00:29:59Knee to the jaw by MVP, who desperately needs to make a tag,
00:30:04to in my mind the catalyst, the backbone of the tag team champion, Matt Hardy.
00:30:08Quit sucking up, he needs to make a tag, okay?
00:30:11Won't you just wear a Matt Hardy t-shirt?
00:30:15Deuce hanging on, trying to keep MVP away from the corner.
00:30:19Gotta change the complex number of the match if MVP can make this tag.
00:30:22Look at the tenacity on the face of Deuce.
00:30:24Trying to, all he can to drag the United States champion back to, it's ziggurated by MVP.
00:30:33Great athletic moves by the United States champion, who's crawling to the corner.
00:30:37Can he make a tag?
00:30:39Domino's in.
00:30:39All right, John, there's no denying the athlete that Matt Hardy is.
00:30:47I think Matt Hardy is fantastic.
00:30:49He's always, always said Matt Hardy's fantastic.
00:30:51He's exciting, and there's the elbow to the back of the neck.
00:30:55And Matt Hardy is picking upon Deuce and Domino by himself, doing all the work again.
00:31:14Bulldog double clothesline.
00:31:21Matt Hardy's on fire.
00:31:23The cover, hook to the leg, shoulders down, and a kick out at the last possible moment.
00:31:28Little ascension among the range, Mago.
00:31:34Well, of course MVP's ready.
00:31:37Matt Hardy just did all the work.
00:31:39The side effect.
00:31:41And Matt Hardy getting ready for the devastating twist of fate.
00:31:52Look at MVP.
00:31:54MVP's trying to tag in.
00:31:56He's selfish.
00:31:57Matt Hardy, the neck breaker.
00:32:01Matt Hardy, here's the cover, hook to the leg.
00:32:05And Domino kicked out again, too.
00:32:07Domino from behind.
00:32:18He stole one.
00:32:19Deuce and Domino took advantage of the dissension in the ranks.
00:32:24The winners of this match, Deuce and Domino.
00:32:27How quickly the complexion of that matchup turned.
00:32:30How quickly the makeup of this team turned.
00:32:35MVP and Matt Hardy could be a phenomenal tag team.
00:32:38They just can't stand to be in the same room together.
00:32:41Matt Hardy and MVP are the tag team champions, but for how much longer?
00:32:59You heard MVP screaming, John, all you had to do was tag me.
00:33:03Well, Matt Hardy shouldn't listen to the captain.
00:33:06John, Matt Hardy did all the work.
00:33:08He had this matchup won before MVP decided to run his lap.
00:33:12He saw three today.
00:33:13That was a spear tag in and out.
00:33:17Look out for a great tag team wrestler.
00:33:18I know something about tag teams.
00:33:20John, can we agree on one thing?
00:33:21It's only a matter of time before this fragile teamwork blows up in the face of
00:33:25MVP and Matt Hardy.
00:33:26This is where it started to break down.
00:33:29MVP wanted to tag in after Matt Hardy did all the work.
00:33:33I'm not sure if it's a matter of time, Michael.
00:33:41I think it may already be breaking down between Matt Hardy and MVP.
00:33:45And you gotta get some domino credit taking advantage on this tenuous relationship.
00:33:51How you doing man?
00:33:52How you doing man?
00:33:53How you doing?
00:33:54How you doing?
00:33:55Good to see you.
00:33:56Hey doctor.
00:33:57How's everything?
00:33:58How you doing?
00:33:59Congratulations.
00:34:00Good job.
00:34:01Thank you man.
00:34:02You know me.
00:34:03Teddy Long, I'm very proud of you.
00:34:16Well thank you Bruce.
00:34:17You know we go back a long way man.
00:34:19World Championship days of doom.
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:21You know we picked them up and put them down didn't we?
00:34:24Yes we did.
00:34:25One thing you gotta tell me Teddy.
00:34:27You gotta tell me how you got a girl as fly as crystal.
00:34:31What you mean?
00:34:32And you gotta tell me something else Teddy.
00:34:34You know how I roll though.
00:34:35I know that.
00:34:36That's the way we do.
00:34:37Alright.
00:34:38You gotta tell me something else.
00:34:39What?
00:34:40Half fly as behind them closed doors between them sheets.
00:34:42Hey, hey, hey.
00:34:43You can't talk like that.
00:34:44In the bed.
00:34:45I got my grandson here.
00:34:46And then the Reverend too.
00:34:47Come on bro.
00:34:48You right, you right.
00:34:49I'm sorry.
00:34:50I'm in front of the baby.
00:34:51I'm in front of the baby.
00:34:52But you know back in my backslide days and pimping days I used to talk about that.
00:34:55You know what I'm saying?
00:34:56Yeah.
00:34:57But Teddy, really, how is she between them sheets?
00:34:59Hey, hey, listen.
00:35:00I got one thing to tell all of y'all.
00:35:02I have yet to consummate the marriage.
00:35:04But tonight, you can believe I'm gonna make Crystal holla holla holla.
00:35:09Y'all got that?
00:35:10Y'all got that?
00:35:11Y'all got that?
00:35:12Y'all got that?
00:35:13Y'all got that?
00:35:14Y'all got that?
00:35:15Y'all got that?
00:35:16Y'all got that?
00:35:17Y'all got that?
00:35:18All right.
00:35:19Holla holla holla.
00:35:20And now, the WWE Smack of the Night is brought to you by the Auto Parts experts at AutoZone.
00:35:29Get in the zone, AutoZone.
00:35:32Chavo Guerrero and Rey Mysterio in the midst of a brutal, I quit match.
00:35:38First man to utter I quit will lose.
00:35:41Chavo Guerrero to the top rope.
00:35:44And Mysterio countered.
00:35:46And Chavo's in trouble.
00:35:48Deja Vu from SmackDown last October.
00:35:51Rey unloading on the knee.
00:35:54I quit.
00:35:55He quit.
00:35:56He quit.
00:35:57He quit.
00:35:58He quit.
00:35:59Redemption is Rey Mysterio's tonight.
00:36:02Ladies and gentlemen, Rey Mysterio.
00:36:27Rey Mysterio's first interview since coming back to SmackDown.
00:36:31After what I hate to say was a phenomenal performance against Chavo Guerrero.
00:36:38Where he got some redemption.
00:36:40When he made Chavo Guerrero say the words no man ever wants to say, I quit.
00:36:53Rey Mysterio, a phenomenal performance.
00:36:55The David versus Goliath scenario at Unforgiven.
00:36:59Where he not only had the animal Batista, but also the seven foot three.
00:37:04Now former world champion Kali.
00:37:08Rey Mysterio gave up 250 pounds to fight Kali.
00:37:14The world champion tonight, Batista made reference that Rey Mysterio, the Cinderella story of 2006, would one day again be world champion.
00:37:28One of the most popular superstars in WWE history.
00:37:35Rey Mysterio.
00:37:37Rey, welcome back.
00:37:39Thanks, Michael.
00:37:43I'll tell you, what a month you've had.
00:37:45You come back, you win your match at SummerSlam.
00:37:47A couple of weeks ago, you take out your rival Chavo Guerrero in an I Quit match.
00:37:52And this past Sunday at Unforgiven, you go into the ring against the great Kali and Batista with the world title on the line in a triple threat match.
00:38:01You come within seconds of winning your second world championship.
00:38:06You're right.
00:38:07You know, I can't lie to you and I can't lie to my people.
00:38:12First of all, I want to say that it feels good to come back and to be back in the ring with my SmackDown fans.
00:38:21It's been great.
00:38:27Since I came back, it's been great.
00:38:30I had my first title shot.
00:38:33Like you said, I came this close, Michael.
00:38:36But what can I do?
00:38:39I think what I should do is I want to congratulate Batista on becoming heavyweight champ.
00:38:48And now, I'm honored to say that Dave's my friend.
00:38:57Dave, I love you too, man.
00:38:59You know, me and you have gone a long way.
00:39:02But friends or not, just like you said, I once will become again world heavyweight champion.
00:39:12Ray, just like you did at WrestleMania 22, you won the world championship.
00:39:21But then months later, a man you considered one of your best friends, almost a brother to you, Chavo Guerrero, caused you to lose that championship.
00:39:30And then a few months after that, Chavo Guerrero in an I Quit match tried to end your career, shattering your knee, putting you out for 10 months.
00:39:43In the I Quit match a couple of weeks ago here on Friday Night SmackDown against Chavo.
00:39:47When you made Chavo say, I quit, do you feel like you gained some revenge?
00:39:54You know something, Cole? I don't think, I don't think revenge is a strong enough word.
00:40:05I would call that redemption.
00:40:08Redemption?
00:40:10I've never seen a bigger love fest in my life.
00:40:15John, I'm conducting this interview, please.
00:40:18I'm conducting the interview.
00:40:20You have covered a war.
00:40:22You have covered three presidential elections.
00:40:25You're throwing him softballs in this love fest like Larry King threw to that anorexic tramp Paris Ilken.
00:40:33Hold on, Branch, I'm lost here.
00:40:35I mean-
00:40:36I, on the other hand, will not ask you little softball questions like Michael Cole will do.
00:40:46Well, what do you have to ask that I can't answer?
00:40:49Let me hear you.
00:40:50You come out here, you're SmackDown fans, you're 619, I love Batista.
00:40:56Look at you, with your little Mexican tattoos, with your little Lucha Libre mask.
00:41:03Paying homage to your hombres and the 619.
00:41:07Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:41:09Is there something that I missed here?
00:41:11I mean-
00:41:12Yeah, you're a disgrace to this country and a disgrace to this show.
00:41:17All right?
00:41:18A disgrace to my country, to myself, and I would imagine to all these people.
00:41:27I don't think so, Bradshaw.
00:41:28You know what I think?
00:41:30I think you forgot that I put you out.
00:41:33I retired your ass.
00:41:34Oh, oh.
00:41:35All of a sudden, you blacked out?
00:41:40You don't remember that world title against, against, retirement match that me and you had?
00:41:50Yeah, little Ray Ray took you down and you retired.
00:41:56What?
00:42:01You wanna go for round number two, huh?
00:42:03Mysterio, Bradshaw, round two.
00:42:07What?
00:42:08You wanna fight?
00:42:09A fight?
00:42:10Here we go!
00:42:17I've been waiting on this for a year and a half.
00:42:23I can't believe Bradshaw is gonna go one-on-one with Ray Mysterio.
00:42:37Unfortunately, Ray, with my contract as an announcer, I'm not allowed to beat up the superstars.
00:42:51But you know, since you love to fight so much, I ran into somebody in the back earlier today, and it's funny that you would say that, because this guy loves to fight!
00:43:07My name is Finley, and I love to fight.
00:43:12Finley?
00:43:14Ray Mysterio came out here to be interviewed about his return from injury to Friday Night SmackDown and all he's accomplished over the past couple of weeks.
00:43:27Yet instead, my broadcast colleague took this interview hostage, and he didn't ask any hard-hitting questions.
00:43:40But for some reason, he brought out a hard-hitting man.
00:43:45He brought out a hard-hitting man.
00:43:57He brought out a hard-hitting man.
00:44:00He brought out a hard-hitting man.
00:44:03Oh!
00:44:04What'd you do that for?
00:44:10A cheap shot.
00:44:15A sucker punch.
00:44:20Finley, this isn't a bar fight.
00:44:34I'm still trying to figure out what in the world is going on and what Fidley's beef is with Mysterio.
00:44:48Absolute cheap shot by Finley.
00:45:06And for what? Why?
00:45:18We are back on Friday Night SmackDown, the season premiere as we move closer to the wedding of the century.
00:45:29Our GM, Theodore Long, to wed Crystal Marshall right here in Long's hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, on SmackDown Tonight.
00:45:40WWE Magazine presents The Raw Rebound.
00:45:44Because of you, Randy Orton deserves a rematch.
00:45:50The next time these two meet, it'll be a match we call Last Man Standing.
00:46:10There's nothing what's...
00:46:12You listened, and you listened good.
00:46:16You messed with him, you messed with me.
00:46:24After I made The Last Man Standing, Max, I got to thinking to myself that that wasn't quite enough.
00:46:29Which is why I made Orton vs. Cena for tonight.
00:46:36Only, you're not the Cena.
00:46:40That's Faisy, the legend killer.
00:46:42That's right.
00:46:44Tonight is Randy Orton, one-on-one with your father, Mr. Cena.
00:46:51You call off that match tonight between Orton and my father.
00:46:55If you don't, I'm not going to be responsible for what happens to anyone.
00:47:01Even you.
00:47:04There's something I forgot to mention to you.
00:47:06You're going to have a match tonight.
00:47:08You win, the match between your father and Randy Orton will not take place.
00:47:13Because your dad's fate is in your hands.
00:47:20Hey, hey, wait a minute!
00:47:22Randy Orton assaulting Cena!
00:47:25John Cena's been incapacitated.
00:47:29Handcuffs!
00:47:29Oh my God!
00:47:31Cena, what I neglected to tell you earlier was that you needed to win that match by pinfall or submission.
00:47:39The match between your father and Randy Orton is still on.
00:47:47That championship means everything to you.
00:47:49I'm not letting Coach strip you of that title.
00:47:52Like it or not, I'm wrestling tonight.
00:47:57You have to do it!
00:47:58You have to do it!
00:47:59You have to do it!
00:48:01No!
00:48:01No!
00:48:01No!
00:48:02No!
00:48:02No!
00:48:03No!
00:48:03No!
00:48:04No!
00:48:04No!
00:48:04No!
00:48:05No!
00:48:06No!
00:48:06No!
00:48:07No!
00:48:08No!
00:48:08No!
00:48:09No!
00:48:09No!
00:48:26Oh, for God's sakes!
00:48:39What's up?
00:48:55We back this smackdown with the yin-yang twins and the lovely Maria.
00:49:00Hi.
00:49:01I heard the yin-yang twins are here.
00:49:03Who you got?
00:49:04We're the yin-yang twins.
00:49:05Who are you?
00:49:06I'm Jimmy Wayne.
00:49:07Jimmy Wayne.
00:49:08I'm your boy.
00:49:09Oh, good.
00:49:10That's our brother from another mother.
00:49:15Oh, really now?
00:49:16Yeah.
00:49:17And look who we got here.
00:49:19Carlitra.
00:49:20What the hell?
00:49:25Get out of here quick.
00:49:27Oh, oh, oh, oh, careful, careful.
00:49:30And we have Chuck Palempo here on the set.
00:49:33And Chuck, are you excited for today?
00:49:36Are you here alone?
00:49:37Are you here alone?
00:49:39Are you here alone?
00:49:43Turn it up.
00:49:44Oh, I definitely want to turn that up.
00:49:45Turn it up.
00:49:46Definitely turn that up.
00:49:47Oh, no, smackdown.
00:49:48Smackdown.
00:49:49Oh, yeah.
00:49:50Smackdown.
00:49:51Smackdown.
00:49:52Smackdown.
00:49:53Smackdown.
00:49:54Smackdown.
00:49:55Smackdown.
00:49:56Smackdown.
00:49:57Don't change that dial.
00:49:58Ah.
00:49:59Well, ladies and gentlemen coming up next, the new world champion is in action.
00:50:00But what a test five nights removed from Unforgiven.
00:50:02A determined Batista versus a man with something to prove.
00:50:03Mark Henry.
00:50:04Batista.
00:50:05Mark Henry next on the season premiere of Smackdown.
00:50:09It is the season premiere of Friday Night Smackdown in Atlanta.
00:50:16The hometown group Teddy Long will be getting married in just moments.
00:50:22When we continue our search for the most beautiful women on television, the latest WWE diva search.
00:50:52Go hard or go home.
00:50:59I got it.
00:51:00All out.
00:51:01Always.
00:51:02All out.
00:51:03I'm not afraid to get dirty.
00:51:05When I want to win something, I always go get it.
00:51:07It seems like I'm easy to go in, but I'm kind of a sore loser.
00:51:10There was the blondes against Brunettes.
00:51:12It was good to get that rivalry started.
00:51:14So we just stared into each other's eyes and walked off and started playing.
00:51:18Brunettes serving.
00:51:21It was fun because we bonded as a team.
00:51:23We were the blonde bombshells.
00:51:25Here you go.
00:51:28Nice job.
00:51:29Oh yeah, we actually did have a cheer.
00:51:33Ours was, no roots are the best roots.
00:51:36Yeah!
00:51:37One, two, three, go Brunettes!
00:51:42Good ladies.
00:51:44There's a cute little Brunette, but she turns vicious on the field.
00:51:47I played volleyball all through high school.
00:51:49Oh yeah!
00:51:51Jessica, she did a great job.
00:51:52I know she has a background in volleyball too, so we kind of had our own little rivalry going.
00:51:56All right, here you go, J Kim.
00:51:58Little J Kim over there was calling names.
00:52:00At one point I told her to put her purse down and take a real swing.
00:52:03Okay, no more .9.
00:52:04Once it came over, I was like, set me up, set me up, and I was just like, rock!
00:52:08Nice!
00:52:09Nice!
00:52:10Oh yeah, she was aiming for me.
00:52:16What stood out?
00:52:17I would say the last call, because that ball was in.
00:52:20No.
00:52:21It was totally out.
00:52:23They wanted it in because they're Brunettes.
00:52:25We won.
00:52:26We're blondes.
00:52:27I had a great time.
00:52:28I had met a lot of great girls, so it was a really good experience.
00:52:30Unfortunately, I got cut.
00:52:31I mean, it's what the fans chose, so I can't really, you know, it's their opinion.
00:52:32I did the best that I could.
00:52:33How low can you go?
00:52:34How low can you go?

00:54:08Aw, thank you.
00:54:09You look so beautiful.
00:54:10All of you guys look gorgeous.
00:54:11Yeah.
00:54:12Yeah.
00:54:13I can't wait to hear the performance.
00:54:14I'm so excited.
00:54:15Oh, man, it's all good.
00:54:16But you know what I'm saying?
00:54:17We're going to do a little something for you to let you know that, you know what I'm saying?
00:54:20A little pre-wedding gift.
00:54:21A little, a little, you know, pre-wedding gift.
00:54:24Okay.
00:54:25I gotta be the one you touch.
00:54:27And baby, I gotta be the one you love.
00:54:30I'm telling you that.
00:54:32I gotta be the one you feel.
00:54:35And I gotta be the one to feel your life with sunshine.
00:54:40I gotta be the one you know.
00:54:43Cause I will always love you so.
00:54:46I'm loving you, girl.
00:54:47I gotta be the one you need.
00:54:51I'm just telling you that.
00:54:54Gotta be.
00:54:56We'll be seeing you outside.
00:54:58My girls are single.
00:55:00They're single.
00:55:01They're single.
00:55:02That's what's up.
00:55:04That's what's up.
00:55:05That's what's up.
00:55:06So, no, we'll see you guys out though, okay?
00:55:09Bye.
00:55:11Bye.
00:55:13Bye.
00:55:14I love it.
00:55:18Well, nothing about happiness or love with this man.
00:55:22The world's strongest man, Mark Henry, who requested this match to prove a point tonight.
00:55:31This bout is set for one ball.
00:55:33Coming down the aisle from Sillsby, Texas.
00:55:36Weighing 392 pounds, he is the world's strongest man, Mark Henry.
00:55:43Mark Henry.
00:55:44Mark Henry took the dead man, The Undertaker, and his return to action and unforgiving to the limit Sunday, John.
00:55:51I talk with Mark Henry here right in the building this afternoon, Michael.
00:55:55Mark Henry is a person you have to see in person to understand how huge this man is.

00:56:20Mark Henry called this a warm up for his match next week here on SmackDown against The Undertaker.
00:56:29I admire Mark Henry's Samaritan, but I don't think Batista could ever be considered a warm up.
00:56:35He's the world champion.
00:56:37He's the world champion.
00:56:38He's the world champion.
00:56:42He's the world champion...
00:57:04And from Washington, D.C., weighing 290 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, Batista!
00:57:15Batista goes one-on-one with a self-proclaimed silverback, next!
00:57:23We are back on Friday Night SmackDown, the season premiere.
00:57:27The new world champion, Batista, in action against the world's strongest man, Mark Henry.
00:57:31Mark Henry with something to prove tonight.
00:57:35Mark Henry put out Batista, if you remember, Michael.
00:57:38For months, Batista sat on the shelf.
00:57:41The calls of the world's strongest man.
00:57:45Not only put out, but Batista had to relinquish the world championship.
00:57:50An animal unleashing with the right hands on the world's strongest man, Mark Henry!
00:57:54And Batista with a clothesline on!
00:57:56And what a climb and epic it has been for Batista.
00:57:59Five and a half months to climb, to scratch, to crawl, and get that world championship back.
00:58:04But, John, is it gonna be a short title reign for Batista?
00:58:07In two and a half weeks, he has to go into that Punjabi prison against the Great Khali!
00:58:12And Mark Henry, the 400-pounder!
00:58:16And the strongest man taking out the animal again.
00:58:22Batista did what I didn't think anybody could do, and that was take the Great Khali off the street and plant him in the middle of the ring and hold him down for a three count.
00:58:33But what about what Mark Henry did at Unforgiven?
00:58:35Who will ever forget that superplex from the top rope to The Undertaker?
00:58:39Mark Henry launched The Undertaker three-quarters of the way across the ring.
00:58:43Yes!
00:58:44Mark Henry has not only taken out Batista in his career, he's taken out the likes of Rey Mysterio, and he has taken out The Undertaker.
00:58:55Yes!
00:58:56Mark Henry wearing down the animal.
00:59:00The new world champion, and a victory for Mark Henry tonight would put him right into contention for that cherished world title.
00:59:09And you know better than anybody, John, how few and far between opportunities at the world championship are.
00:59:16The problem though, Michael, first, Mark Henry has to go through The Undertaker next week after he finishes with what he's called warm-up against this man, the world champion, Batista.
00:59:29The near 300-pounder, and the strength is with the Spinebuster.
00:59:34That's a 400-pound-plus man.
00:59:38The animal's feeling it, so is Hot Lata.
00:59:41And there is the number one contender for the world title, the former champion, the great Khali, the 7'3", 420-pounder who's exercised his rematch at No Mercy inside that Tujabi Prison.
00:59:58And Batista unloading on Khali.
01:00:04And Batista with a spear.
01:00:06Mark Henry was stalking the animal, but that may have cost Batista.
01:00:10Mark Henry's distraction may have cost the champion.
01:00:15And Batista may be prey, and is prey, for the great Khali.
01:00:21Khali is a dangerous man.
01:00:24400-plus pounds, 7'3", he's got those hands that are as wide as a football.
01:00:31Great Khali stalking Batista.
01:00:37Oh, and a big boot to the skull!
01:00:40Oh, no.
01:00:41Khali is picking whatever's left of Batista apart.
01:00:46Khali measuring his man, 7'3", and Batista.
01:00:51There's that vice grip.
01:00:52The Khali vice grip that has taken out the likes of Kane, and Ric Flair, and Rey Mysterio, and Jeff Hardy, and Batista is locked in on the new champion.
01:01:02Nobody gets out.
01:01:04These two are decimating Batista.
01:01:10Khali, Batista's in trouble.
01:01:14The Khali Bomb.
01:01:17A devastating, destructive display by the number one contender, the great Khali.
01:01:31You think that's destructive, Michael?
01:01:32Wait until you see these two in a Pujabi prison match next week right here on SmackDown.
01:01:40At No Mercy, the bamboo structure, that massive bamboo structure will surround the ring.
01:01:50And Batista went right after Khali, but that distraction by Mark Henry aided the Pujabi nightmare.
01:01:58And I don't care if Bamboo surrounds the ring or not.
01:02:01If Khali gets that vice grip on Batista, at No Mercy, it's lights out.
01:02:08Look at the strength of the great Khali.
01:02:15We're gonna have us one hell of a fight at No Mercy.
01:02:19Will it be a short world title reign for Batista?
01:02:38He has risen.
01:02:41Did you feel that?
01:02:43He walks again.
01:02:46Did you see that?
01:02:48Falling.
01:02:49Prepare yourselves.
01:02:54He has returned.
01:02:57The Undertaker next week on SmackDown.
01:03:09Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the season premiere of Friday Night SmackDown.
01:03:12It has been an unbelievable night.
01:03:14A star-laden event.
01:03:15Well, next week, right here, the return of The Undertaker.
01:03:19Atlanta has been on fire tonight, Michael.
01:03:22But next week, the rematch from Unforgiven.
01:03:24The dead man, The Undertaker, takes on the world's strongest man, Mark Henry.
01:03:29Well, ladies and gentlemen, right now, we are prepared for the wedding of the century.
01:03:39Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Reverend Bruce Bruce.
01:03:46All the stars have come out tonight, John, for the wedding of Theodore Long, our General Manager and Crystal Marshall.
01:03:52Reverend Bruce Bruce, a great friend of SmackDown General Manager, Theodore Long.
01:03:56You may know him as the host of the Comic View on BET for the past couple of years.
01:04:03Is he related to Kelly Kelly?
01:04:06And superstars from all three brands are represented, including the chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment, Mr. McMahon.
01:04:16All the celebrities here in Hotland have come out tonight, Michael.
01:04:21John, this has been an event months in the making.
01:04:34Michael, I can remember all of my different weddings and all of them have been memorable.
01:04:41I'm sure you can.
01:04:42Not all of my marriages have been memorable.
01:04:44Who will ever forget the night that Theodore Long got down on his knees in the ring,
01:04:48asked Crystal to marry him.
01:04:50She didn't know what to say at the time.
01:04:51She was so taken aback and she finally said yes.
01:04:53No, no, no.
01:04:54She was cold because hell had frozen over.
01:04:57Methuselah was now getting married.
01:05:01Not only getting married, but getting married to one of the sexiest women that has ever graced television.
01:05:07Methuselah?
01:05:08Methuselah.
01:05:09Methuselah.
01:05:10He was 969 years old.
01:05:13The superstars look as old as Jerry Briscoe there's birthday this week.
01:05:18Jerry's 81 this week.
01:05:21Superstars gathered here from all different brands, including WWE Hall of Famers and the chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment, Mr. McMahon as well.

01:06:27Anxiously awaiting the wedding of General Manager Theodore Long and Crystal Marshall.
01:06:33And there's the group in his hometown.
01:06:48Theodore Long here in Atlanta.
01:06:54What a night, look at the smile.
01:06:56What must he be feeling inside?
01:06:59The luckiest man alive.
01:07:01I know.
01:07:02Theodore Rufus Long.
01:07:03He's lived in Atlanta for the last 100 years.
01:07:06He's about to get married now.
01:07:08In Atlanta.
01:07:09And his boy is walking down the next Mrs. Layfield.
01:07:12Get used to that aisle, darling.
01:07:14It's gonna be us soon.
01:07:15Antoine Long, Theodore's son.
01:07:17And of course, Michelle McCool.
01:07:19There's a longtime friend, Butch Reed, along with Tori Wilson.

01:07:41Got a key West.
01:07:42Ron Simmons was.
01:07:43All right.
01:07:58All right.

01:16:37Sin City brought the godfather back.
01:16:40John, this is Crystal's fourth nightmare.
01:16:44I was at his third wedding.
01:16:45Come on, John. These girls are absolutely no competition to Crystal.
01:16:51No, absolutely not.
01:16:52The godfather. You can't have a wedding without the godfather.
01:16:55Oh, yeah, you can't.
01:16:56No, you can't.
01:16:57Maybe that's why you've been divorced how many times?
01:16:59Say, boom.
01:17:01Hey, if common sense didn't speak to Crystal, it'll speak up.
01:17:04Maybe the godfather will speak to her.
01:17:05No, it's the
01:17:15No, no, no

01:17:41I got a season pass.
01:17:42Come on, y'all.
01:17:43You talking about the Ho-Train, that's my wedding.
01:17:47Teddy, Teddy, Teddy.
01:17:49Tell me where they sold, man.
01:17:51Yes, ma'am.
01:17:52Crystal, nothing against you, honey.

01:17:56Woman.
01:17:57Woman.
01:17:59Woman.
01:18:00But hey, man, you remember all the good times me, you, and Ron used to have?
01:18:06I was there, too.
01:18:09I remember all those good times, man, but I want you to know one thing right now.
01:18:14I love Crystal more than anything in the world.
01:18:17You understand that?
01:18:18Now, I know we had a lot of fun over the years, but I'm going to tell you something right now.
01:18:23I don't know nothing that I would rather do than to spend the rest of my life with this woman right here.
01:18:29Right here.
01:18:34Well, listen here, man.
01:18:36I ain't mad at you.
01:18:37I got nothing for love.
01:18:38Thanks, man.
01:18:39But we did not come all the way down to the dirty south to go home alone.
01:18:52So maybe there's somebody else that may be like to take a ride.
01:18:59Where are they going?
01:19:04Ron Simmons!
01:19:07Put your hand down.
01:19:12Put your hand down, man.
01:19:13I still ain't leaving here alone.
01:19:21How about anybody else?
01:19:22Anybody out here want to take a ride?
