00:01:13We are 48 hours away today!

00:01:16From the Royal Rumble!

00:01:18Welcome to an historic Friday Night SmackDown!

00:01:21The first SmackDown ever in HD!

00:01:23Michael Corral and Jonathan Koshman ringside!

00:01:26At the University of Virginia!

00:01:31The second SmackDown!

00:01:34The fourth SmackDown!

00:01:35The second SmackDown!

00:01:36And

00:01:41on the final stop, on the road to the Royal Rumble.

00:01:44We kick things off with a-

00:01:46He's number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.

00:01:51The World Heavyweight Championship

00:01:56The World Heavyweight Championship

00:02:01The World Heavyweight Championship

00:02:02is a two-on-one handicap match schedule for a follow-up.

00:02:05Introducing-

00:02:06From San Diego, California

00:02:07Weigh 165 pounds

00:02:10Great

00:02:11Mysterio

00:02:12Mysterio, the number one contender for Edge's World Championship

00:02:16Beats the champs on the end of the Rumble

00:02:17And certainly win

00:02:18Great Mysterio won the shot

00:02:20And to beat the

00:02:21Block talent

00:02:21He earned his shot

00:02:22But can he become

00:02:24The World Heavyweight Champion

00:02:26One more time

00:02:27This Sunday

00:02:27At the Royal Rumble

00:02:28And let's not forget

00:02:29Mysterio earned his shot

00:02:31Of the, uh, the title

00:02:32By pity the champion

00:02:33And Edge

00:02:34In the beat the clock challenge

00:02:35From San Diego

00:02:36Perhaps one of the reasons

00:02:37That this match tonight

00:02:38A two-on-one handicap match

00:02:39Was made by

00:02:41Smackdown general manager

00:02:42Vicky Guerrero

00:02:43Edges Lover

00:02:44And certainly

00:02:45Vicky has put

00:02:46Ray behind the eight ball

00:02:47But Edge knows that

00:02:48Ray can get it done

00:02:50He knows that

00:02:50Ray

00:02:51Can defeat him

00:02:52And wants to put

00:02:53Ray

00:02:53As far

00:02:54Down the totem pole

00:02:56As he can

00:02:56This Sunday

00:02:57The ultimate underdog

00:03:00Ray Mysterio

00:03:01With the odds stacked

00:03:02Heavily

00:03:03Against him

00:03:04Tonight

00:03:06Last death

00:03:06Fred

00:03:06Rick

00:03:07Captioning

00:03:08Back

00:03:10David

00:03:10And

00:03:10Aboriginal

00:03:10G

00:03:13Hey

00:03:14Ladies

00:03:16Hey

00:03:17Hey

00:03:18Hey

00:03:19Hey

00:03:21Hey

00:03:22Hey

00:03:23Hey

00:03:24Hey

00:03:26Hey

00:03:28Hey

00:03:31Hey

00:03:33Hey

00:03:34Hey

00:03:35Hey

00:03:35Well, Edge is cronies, so to speak, Hawkins and Ryder.

00:03:40Who held the Edge to win the World Heavyweight Championship and doing their darndest.

00:03:45Take out Rey Mysterio before Sunday.

00:03:48Two weeks ago, Rey Mysterio knocked off Charlie.

00:03:50Bravo Guerrero, and then paid for it.

00:03:53You see this vicious assault by Ryder.

00:03:55And it seems the whole focus of Edge and company is to wear Mysterio.

00:04:00Mysterio now, before the Royal Rumble.

00:04:03Much like we saw last week on Friday Night Smash.

00:04:05CM Punk and Rey Mysterio versus Edge and Chavo Guerrero.

00:04:10And you see here.

00:04:11Edge went for the surgically repaired knee of Rey Mysterio.

00:04:14Well, you know what they're saying right now.

00:04:15It's all one big happy family.

00:04:18Chavo, Edge, and Vicky.

00:04:20And with those three.

00:04:20Can you get any more powerful heading into the Royal Rumble?

00:04:25And I don't think you can count out Hawkins and Ryder here in this two-on-one handicap matchup against Rey Mysterio.

00:04:30And you have to wonder if they have their marching orders, Hawkins and Ryder, to do some damage.

00:04:35To Rey Mysterio, to weaken him before Sunday's Rumble, two nights from tonight.

00:04:40And it's Hawkins and Mysterio starting off this two-on-one handicap matchup.

00:04:45And for Rey Mysterio, really has to use some quickness like he did there against these two men who I'm sh-

00:04:50Sure huddled with Edge before this match, figure out what to do with Mysterio.

00:04:55Oh, I don't think there's no- there isn't any doubt that they're going to try to do whatever damn-

00:05:00Ooh!

00:05:01Come up with, two certainly weakened Rey Mysterio heading into Sunday.

00:05:04This is Curt Hawkins starting-

00:05:05Turning things off against Rey Mysterio in this two-on-one handicap matchup.

00:05:09And there's the-

00:05:10And there's the weakness of Rey Mysterio that he's going to need to use to try to wrestle the title away from Edge.

00:05:15On Sunday.

00:05:16Drops that knee right across the throat.

00:05:20First cover of the matchup, hook to the leg and a kick out.

00:05:23And two-on-one handicap-

00:05:25matchup.

00:05:26Ryder and Hawkins have to tag themselves in.

00:05:28It's like a regular tag team matchup.

00:05:30Mysterio has no partner.

00:05:31The tag was made and here comes Zack Ryder.

00:05:35Yeah, I gotta give Rey credit.

00:05:36Got out of that corner very quickly.

00:05:37Very smart.

00:05:38And this isn't always easy taking on-

00:05:40two guys at the same time.

00:05:42It's never easy, especially for Rey Mysterio.

00:05:45Mysterio the ultimate underdog.

00:05:46But the one thing that Rey Mysterio has proved, and you hit on this point earlier, is that-

00:05:50the fact that the Royal Rumble's been very good to him.

00:05:52Two years ago, Mysterio won the Royal Rumble match.

00:05:55And he lasted longer in that Rumble match than anyone in Rumble history over-

00:06:00one hour and two minutes.

00:06:01And showed the entire world not only at the-

00:06:05The Royal Rumble match, but later at WrestleMania, that he could take it all the way.

00:06:10To the top of the mountain.

00:06:11And now-

00:06:12Oh!

00:06:13There's the double tape.

00:06:14Numbers game.

00:06:15Catching up.

00:06:16Cover.

00:06:17Hook to the leg.

00:06:18Could be it to kick that.

00:06:19But Michael, there's only one mountain in front of-

00:06:20Rey Mysterio this Sunday.

00:06:21And that mountain-

00:06:22Here's the drummer again.

00:06:23And a kick out by Mysterio.

00:06:25Referee Jimmy Corderas admonishing Zack Ryder as-

00:06:30We take another look at the double tape.

00:06:32Two-

00:06:33By Ryder and Hawkins.

00:06:35And again.

00:06:36Three-

00:06:38Watch this.

00:06:39Oh!

00:06:40Double knee to the spine of Mysterio.

00:06:43Here's the cover.

00:06:44By Kurt-

00:06:45Hawkins.

00:06:46There's two.

00:06:47Mysterio kicks out at two and a half.

00:06:48I think Ryder and Hawkins have learned a lot from that man-

00:06:50right there, Edge, who's watching backstage.

00:06:52They have learned how to get at Rey.

00:06:55And how did-

00:06:56And you just saw the-

00:06:57You saw Edge, the world champion, look-

00:07:00Looking on.

00:07:01Scouting this matchup.

00:07:02And obviously there he is again, hoping that Ryder and Hawkins-

00:07:05Can do some damage on Mysterio.

00:07:06And you said, are they getting their marching orders?

00:07:08I think Edge is watching right-

00:07:10Now to see if they are following the marching orders.

00:07:15Yep.

00:07:15The resilient Rey Mysterio.

00:07:17The ultimate underdog.

00:07:18Back to a vertical base.

00:07:20Just has to survive here tonight to be in perfect condition for Sunday.

00:07:25Mysterio-

00:07:26Oh!

00:07:27Back to the head.

00:07:28It could be the opening Mysterio needs, but-

00:07:30Again, he has no partner to tag.

00:07:31And survive is a great word.

00:07:33Survive is what-

00:07:34Rey has-

00:07:35He has to do just to get to Sunday.

00:07:37And Ryder and Hawkins doing everything they can to make that not happen.

00:07:40Tag made to Zack Ryder.

00:07:41Ryder quickly back on the attack of Rey Mysterio.

00:07:44And there's the-

00:07:45Rey Mysterio again.

00:07:46Rey made-

00:07:50He survived tonight, but the ultimate question is what condition will he be in come Sunday.

00:07:55Well, I think that big one happy family has done everything they can the last couple of weeks-

00:08:00To get Rey-

00:08:01Oh!

00:08:02Oh wow!

00:08:03The greatest high flyer in WWE history!

00:08:05Pulling some offense out of the hat there!

00:08:06What?

00:08:07And Mysterio looking to build momentum-

00:08:10The lateral press!

00:08:11And a kick out at two!

00:08:12And the World Heavyweight champion-

00:08:15Again, very concerned because he knows how dangerous Rey really is.

00:08:18Well, Coach, he has to be concerned.

00:08:20Rey's a former World Heavyweight champion.

00:08:21Rey pinned edge a couple of weeks ago to get to the Royal Rumble.

00:08:25Perhaps-

00:08:25Mysterio has Edge's number.

00:08:26And we all know what the gold means to Edge.

00:08:30The power game for the champion.

00:08:31He lives full!

00:08:32Up over the top.

00:08:33Mysterio rolled through.

00:08:34And again-

00:08:35Kick to the temple.

00:08:36And even in the outs!

00:08:40Mysterio measuring-

00:08:41Here he comes!

00:08:42Off the top rope!

00:08:43Off that splash!

00:08:44He's getting hit!

00:08:45Here's the cover!

00:08:46Does he got it?

00:08:47No!

00:08:48A kick out at two!

00:08:49And Rey's doing everything he possibly-

00:08:50And so far, it hasn't been enough.

00:08:52Taking on Ryder and Hopkins.

00:08:53Well, the odds are stacked against-

00:08:55It's a 2-1 handicap matchup.

00:08:57And you gotta give the toughness to Zack Ryder, who kicked out!

00:09:00After that big splash by Rey Mysterio.

00:09:02And take nothing away, Coach, from Ryder and Hopkins.

00:09:04One of the reasons-

00:09:05Edge's world champ today is because of those two men.

00:09:10And our fans make it what they want.

00:09:13Rey Mysterio positioning-

00:09:15And from out of nowhere!

00:09:16But dunking under the possible clothesline!

00:09:18Is Mysterio-

00:09:20And now the odds are even once again!

00:09:22Great!

00:09:25Oh, wait a second, right here in front of us!

00:09:26Look out!

00:09:27Oh!

00:09:28Hook gets taken out by Mysterio!

00:09:30Rey Mysterio using his body for offense!

00:09:35But his body is a thing that might-

00:09:40He might be getting torn up!

00:09:41Well, think about what Mysterio's doing!

00:09:43He's having a match against not one, but two men!

00:09:45He's keeping up-

00:09:46And again this level of competition!

00:09:47And he's still rolling!

00:09:48And Mysterio-

00:09:50From out of nowhere!

00:09:51But how much does Rey have left?

00:09:53Well, Rey may have hurt his leg right there-

00:09:55And needs in this one!

00:09:56For his sake!

00:09:57Very quickly!

00:09:58Well, he does have a surgically repaired name-

00:09:59Well, he does have a surgically repaired name-

00:10:00Oh, look out!

00:10:01Shell!

00:10:02Hawkins!

00:10:03Gets with the big-

00:10:05It's still terrible-

00:10:06Oh!

00:10:07You're right!

00:10:08It's a shot!

00:10:10Woah!

00:10:11Mysterio!

00:10:13Pleated house!

00:10:15You're right!

00:10:16You're right!

00:10:17You're right!

00:10:20Hey, Mysterio has had enough!

00:10:22And Ryder and Hawkins are running for the hill!

00:10:25An obvious disqualification when Hawkins brought that steel chair into the ring-

00:10:30But the bottom line is this, ladies and gentlemen-

00:10:32Rey Mysterio survives tonight-

00:10:35But will Rey Mysterio survive Sunday at the Royal Rumble-

00:10:40Will the ultimate underdog be able to climb to the top of the mountain again?

00:10:43The question is not-

00:10:45Will he survive?

00:10:47Will Rey Mysterio win the World Heavyweight Champion?

00:10:50Thank you!

00:10:51Mysterio is focused!

00:10:52Mysterio is ready!

00:10:53He over-yawns a victory over the-

00:10:55Ow!

00:10:56And Sunday, he looks to win the World Heavyweight Championship!

00:11:00I'll show you what happened to the court-

00:11:04Show you what happened to the court-

00:11:05The closing moment to the matchup-

00:11:06As Rey Mysterio is positioning Ryder for the 619-

00:11:10It was Hawkins who introduced the chair-

00:11:12And I gotta give credit where credit is due-

00:11:14Rey Mysterio-

00:11:15Was amazing!

00:11:16And keeping both Ryder and Hopkins at bay towards the end of the-

00:11:20And then, with the drop-

00:11:22Kept the chair to the head-

00:11:23Really couldn't have gotten-

00:11:25To the Royal Rumble

00:11:26With a better look on his face

00:11:28And a bigger-

00:11:30Performance here tonight!

00:11:31Ah!

00:11:32Goddammit!

00:11:33I'll let-

00:11:35Ladies and gentlemen!

00:11:36Still to come tonight on a Star Study!

00:11:38Friday Night Smackdown!

00:11:39Just two days-

00:11:40Away from the Royal Rumble

00:11:41Two men that are in the Rumble match

00:11:43Go head-to-head

00:11:44Flash tonight!

00:11:45The Phenom!

00:11:46Big Daddy V!

00:11:50Hi!

00:11:51I'm Jesse

00:11:52And this is my partner Festus!

00:11:54A-

00:11:55A-

00:11:56A-

00:11:57A-

00:11:58A-

00:11:59A-

00:12:01A-

00:12:02A-

00:12:03A-

00:12:04A-

00:12:05A-

00:12:06A-

00:12:07A-

00:12:08A-

00:12:09A-

00:12:10A-

00:12:11A-

00:12:12A-

00:12:13A-

00:12:14A-

00:12:15A-

00:12:16A-

00:12:17A-

00:12:18A-

00:12:19just to walk down the street, and on the other hand, he's crazy.

00:12:24He's a madman, but he goes off at the sound of a bell.

00:12:29So we have decided to get Festus

00:12:34help. So right now, he is at the doctor's getting the best help.

00:12:39He knows how he possibly can, and I hope he does because...

00:12:44...that...

00:12:47...and that...

00:12:50This...

00:12:52...is the face of my...

00:12:54...best friend.

00:12:59We're back on Friday night, SmackDown, the former tag team champions, Deuce and Domino...

00:13:04...along with...

00:13:05...Cherry.

00:13:08Domino...

00:13:09...set for action.

00:13:10Here tonight, got his hands full with SmackDown to Resident Rednecks!

00:13:13...Cherry.

00:13:14...weighing 206 pounds...

00:13:16Jimmy...

00:13:17...weighing...

00:13:18...yeah!

00:13:19Do you see that little dance Jimmy Wang Yang is doing?

00:13:22I see it!

00:13:23Throwing the...

00:13:24...latest edition of WWE Magazine, 60 seconds with Jimmy Wang Yang.

00:13:28He calls it...

00:13:29...the Rhino Shuffle.

00:13:30He learned it from his brother, who happens to be a pro...

00:13:33...great...

00:13:34...dancing.

00:13:35Never break...

00:13:36...dancing.

00:13:37I understand what you're saying, I'm just a little...

00:13:39...dumpfounded...

00:13:40...that there would be a pro break dancer and a...

00:13:43...a Jimmy Wang...

00:13:44...Yang...

00:13:45...all the same family.

00:13:46Jimmy Wang Yang...

00:13:47...SmackDown...

00:13:48...Resident Redneck...

00:13:49...SmackDown...

00:13:49...Money just came...

00:13:50...Well, uh...

00:13:51...reject...

00:13:52...Shanon Moore.

00:13:53Exactly.

00:13:54...Shanon Moore.

00:13:54Been on a roll as a tag team as of late, but tonight it's Jimmy Wang Yang one-on-one...

00:13:58...against...

00:13:59...Domino.

00:14:00You know, and even though neither one of these two gentlemen are in the Royal Rumble...

00:14:04...look at Jimmy Wang Yang...

00:14:05...here's a guy that if you look at one name that could have a huge 2008...

00:14:09...I think it could be Jimmy Wang Yang.

00:14:11No doubt, likes to call his style in the ring...

00:14:13...Kung Fu...

00:14:14...fighting...

00:14:15...Redneck...

00:14:16...as Domino with that side headlock starting things off against...

00:14:19...Jimmy Wang Yang.

00:14:20There's no doubt that Jimmy is creating a unique style for himself.

00:14:24...I think it's the best way I can put it.

00:14:26Here's a Domino with a unique style as well.

00:14:28Full...

00:14:29...throttle...

00:14:30...straight ahead...

00:14:31...Ruckman tucked off...

00:14:32...knock him in the mouth...

00:14:33...it's really that...

00:14:34...power against him...

00:14:35...by witness...

00:14:36...of Jimmy Wang Yang in his matchup.

00:14:37So impressive and Jimmy always come...

00:14:39...has that game face on...

00:14:40...and now Deuce and Domino...

00:14:41...they gotta regroup on the outside.

00:14:44That's what they're doing.

00:14:46There's Cherry, Deuce's girlfriend...

00:14:48...Dominos...

00:14:49...his sister...

00:14:50...floats around on those roller skates.

00:14:52By the way we were talking about dancing earlier on...

00:14:56...I think like...

00:14:57...

00:14:57...a little dance during an ECW...

00:14:58...the best body contest this past Tuesday night.

00:15:00Sometimes you get caught up with a...

00:15:01...

00:15:02...and that's all that happened.

00:15:05Domino...

00:15:06...with me...

00:15:07...Wayne Yang...

00:15:08...across the ring.

00:15:09By the way...

00:15:10...how did my dancing look in HD?

00:15:11By the way...

00:15:12...not as good as that however...

00:15:13...not to say...

00:15:14...Lena...

00:15:15...Kelly...

00:15:16...Layla didn't look...

00:15:17...unbelievable on HD.

00:15:18Oh man...

00:15:20...Jimmy Wayne Yang...

00:15:21...

00:15:22...Nobody home...

00:15:23...Dominos just quickly scooted out of the way...

00:15:25...and this is...

00:15:26...the break...

00:15:27...the Domino may need to match.

00:15:28Smart on Domino's part...

00:15:30...and barely got out of the way...

00:15:31...but now...

00:15:32...try to get on the...

00:15:33...offensive...

00:15:34...and gets right back in the ring to do so.

00:15:35What Domino has to do here...

00:15:36...is to neutralize the...

00:15:37...the speed...

00:15:38...quickness of Jimmy Wayne Yang...

00:15:39...this piss...

00:15:40...may allow Domino to do that...

00:15:41...here's the...

00:15:42...to cover...

00:15:43...hook of the leg...

00:15:44...and a kick out...

00:15:45...Wayne Yang flies around...

00:15:47...the ring...

00:15:48...but when you round him...

00:15:49...like Domino's doing here...

00:15:50...you're able to...

00:15:51...to wear...

00:15:52...the smaller man down.

00:15:52You have to love the...

00:15:53...the way that...

00:15:54...Jimmy Wayne...

00:15:55...goes about his business...

00:15:56...but you just saw a moment ago...

00:15:57...that if he...

00:15:58...doesn't hit it...

00:15:59...that it can be a...

00:16:00...major mistake.

00:16:02Domino...

00:16:03...face lock...

00:16:04...with Shannon Moore...

00:16:05...in the background...

00:16:06...trying to...

00:16:07...here on his...

00:16:08...tag team partner...

00:16:09...Jimmy Wayne Yang...

00:16:10...remember...

00:16:11...Jimmy Wayne Yang...

00:16:12...shannon Moore...

00:16:13...came within...

00:16:14...moments of winning...

00:16:15...the...

00:16:16...tag team titles...

00:16:17...against Miz and Moore...

00:16:17...in a couple of weeks ago...

00:16:18...in that...

00:16:19...15 minutes of fame...

00:16:20...match up...

00:16:21...Dewson Domino...

00:16:22...former...

00:16:23...tag team champions...

00:16:24...in their own right...

00:16:25...Mac...

00:16:26...Look at...

00:16:27...Domin...

00:16:27...Dominos...

00:16:28...not going to the top...

00:16:29...rope often...

00:16:30...but very effective...

00:16:31...there...

00:16:32...something new...

00:16:33...out of the repertoire...

00:16:34...covered by Domino...

00:16:35...hooks that leg...

00:16:37...refery Charles Robinson...

00:16:38...great position...

00:16:39...Jimmy Wayne Yang's...

00:16:40...shoulders were...

00:16:41...underneath that bottom...

00:16:42...and Michael...

00:16:43...I gotta give both...

00:16:44...these guys credit...

00:16:45...it's not always easy...

00:16:46...to go for...

00:16:47...tag team wrestling...

00:16:47...to singles...

00:16:48...back to tag team...

00:16:49...and both of these guys...

00:16:50...are doing an excellent...

00:16:51...job here tonight...

00:16:52...Jimmy Wayne Yang...

00:16:54...right to the ribs...

00:16:55...by Domino...

00:16:57...here's Deuce...

00:16:58...Cherry Domino on...

00:16:59...again...

00:17:00...Cherry...

00:17:01...Deuce's girlfriend...

00:17:02...Dominos brother...

00:17:02...it gets a little...

00:17:03...confusing sometimes...

00:17:04...Dominos sister...

00:17:05...that'd be a little weird...

00:17:07...there she is...

00:17:08...on the roller skates...

00:17:09...can you enjoy that...

00:17:11...aw yeah...

00:17:12...I do...

00:17:13...it's amazing...

00:17:14...he never falls down...

00:17:17...Dominos...

00:17:19...Dominos...

00:17:20...wearing down...

00:17:21...Jimmy Wayne...

00:17:22...who really...

00:17:22...needs to get back...

00:17:23...to a vertical base...

00:17:24...here...

00:17:25...Jimmy Wayne Yang...

00:17:27...this will be a huge win...

00:17:28...for Domino...

00:17:29...he can pick it up...

00:17:30...he can pick it up...

00:17:31...he is...

00:17:32...worn down...

00:17:33...Jimmy...

00:17:34...a tremendous amount...

00:17:35...so far...

00:17:36...Cover again...

00:17:37...hook of the leg...

00:17:37...he is down...

00:17:38...kick out...

00:17:39...last week right here...

00:17:40...on SmackDown...

00:17:41...Jimmy Wayne Yang...

00:17:42...and Shannon Moore...

00:17:43...knocked off...

00:17:42...Dominos...

00:17:43...Dominos...

00:17:44...in tag team action...

00:17:45...

00:17:47...Dominos...

00:17:48...Dominos...

00:17:49...again going to the ropes...

00:17:50...so Jimmy Wayne Yang...

00:17:51...the only high...

00:17:52Wow, what a counter.

00:17:54It almost seemed like Jimmy Wang Yang had eyes in the back of his head.

00:17:57Boot right to the ribs of Domino.

00:18:02Jimmy Wang Yang from out of nowhere.

00:18:04Desperation perhaps with a kick to the midsection.

00:18:07Domino still trying to wear him down.

00:18:09He goes to the sleeper hole in the center of the room.

00:18:12Well this is smart again.

00:18:14Oh man.

00:18:15Great counter again by Jimmy.

00:18:17I'll tell you what, Domino has been doing very well on his own, but here's-

00:18:22He goes to cover.

00:18:23Missile driver kicks, hooks the leg in a kick out and two.

00:18:27Jimmy Wang Yang is able to keep his opponent off balance and fly around that ring.

00:18:31He's clearly unstoppable.

00:18:32Oh, and that again is that unopened offensive style.

00:18:37He goes to the front, skipping the jaw of Domino.

00:18:39And so much impact.

00:18:40Cross body!

00:18:41Why cross body?

00:18:42Lottery press, kick out at two.

00:18:46Jimmy Wang Yang's-

00:18:47So quick out of nowhere.

00:18:48Hey!

00:18:49What is Sherry doing?

00:18:50She's on the apron, coach.

00:18:52I get that.

00:18:53What did Jimmy Wang Yang?

00:18:54No!

00:18:55The referee was distracted.

00:18:56Deuce, not-

00:18:57Taking Jimmy Wang Yang over the title rope.

00:18:59And Jimmy Wang Yang still kicked out.

00:19:01Domino couldn't-

00:19:02Quite take advantage.

00:19:03And Shannon Moore gets into the air.

00:19:05What a hurricanrana.

00:19:07By Shannon Moore!

00:19:08Well now, everything is equal.

00:19:11Oh!

00:19:12Knees to the rims.

00:19:13Could be the opening.

00:19:14Jimmy Wang Yang needs!

00:19:15Top rope!

00:19:16Top rope!

00:19:17Is it Haruso?

00:19:18Takes down to the rope!

00:19:19That could be it.

00:19:20Jimmy Wang Yang!

00:19:22Rollin' again!

00:19:23No winner of this match.

00:19:27Jimmy Wang Yang!

00:19:28Well I know Jimmy Wang Yang did a lot of-

00:19:32Put it on his own.

00:19:33But he can thank Shannon Moore for making the ultimate equalizer in the-

00:19:37This match.

00:19:38Well Sherry tried to distract Brett Murray and Deuce took advantage but-

00:19:42Shannon Moore helped out his tag team partner and Jimmy Wang Yang wins again.

00:19:47Let's show you what happened.

00:19:48You see Sherry distracting the referee in the background.

00:19:51Deuce took advantage-

00:19:52Jimmy Wang Yang was able to kick out.

00:19:55Shannon Moore with neutral-

00:19:57Nice deuce with his high fly in Florida!

00:19:59And Jimmy Wang Yang-

00:20:00The goal!

00:20:01The goal!

00:20:02He's been grittier than this!

00:20:03So high!

00:20:04So eloquent!

00:20:05And catching Domino-

00:20:07Perfectly for the winner.

00:20:12Jimmy Wayne.

00:20:12And Shannon Moore.

00:20:14That team is a force to be reckoned with.

00:20:17Laser in the front.

00:20:21Crying.

00:20:22Oh, hey, don't you ever complete me, huh?

00:20:27I'm telling you!

00:20:28You're pushing me to the limit, son!

00:20:29I am!

00:20:30The only reason I'm working with you tonight is for Michelle.

00:20:31Hey!

00:20:32Don't...

00:20:32Don't tell me!

00:20:33I promise!

00:20:34I'm sticking to my promise!

00:20:35I can't stand you!

00:20:36I hate your butt!

00:20:37I'm gonna see what happens, huh?

00:20:39You've crossed me for the last...

00:20:42Don't give that word!

00:20:43You're so funny, keep that of mind!

00:21:00you

00:20:47Hey guys, ready?

00:20:52Yeah, I'm ready.

00:20:54Alright, come on let's go.

00:20:57Palumbo, Noble, and Michelle in six-person tag team action.

00:21:02Next.

00:21:07The question of this match is can Palumbo, Michelle, and Jamie...

00:21:12...will possibly get along.

00:21:17The following is...

00:21:22...and a six-person inter-gender tag team match scheduled for one ball.

00:21:26Riding the...

00:21:27...intering first, Chuck Palumbo and Michelle McCool.

00:21:31Michelle McCool.

00:21:32Coach really been the peacekeeper at least for the time being.

00:21:35Last week Michelle accepted the...

00:21:37...apology of Chuck Palumbo and a Jamie question Chuck's...

00:21:42...inter-in Eve.

00:21:43Michelle said, hey, we all have got to get along.

00:21:46Oh, I know Michelle once.

00:21:47Chuck and Jamie Noble to be friends.

00:21:49But quite frankly, I don't know the last time...

00:21:52...that a girl and a guy were just friends.

00:21:54Let alone having two.

00:21:55If you know what I'm saying.

00:21:57That's how you think.

00:21:59Look at her.

00:22:00What about her?

00:22:01She's a gorgeous...

00:22:02I understand she's nice and she wants everybody to be friends to get along and be successful.

00:22:06That...

00:22:07That can't happen.

00:22:08I think the bottom line with Chuck Palumbo and Jamie Noble...

00:22:11...is Chuck's up...

00:22:12...almost beating four stretch times.

00:22:13He's almost upset that Chuck is hanging out with a little woman that she...

00:22:17...has a little bit of a crush on him.

00:22:19Well, I think that's pretty obvious and if you take one look at...

00:22:22Michelle McCool, you can see why.

00:22:24And their tag team partner from Hanover, West Virginia...

00:22:27...weighing 202 pounds, Jamie Noble!

00:22:32Michael, they've got to throw all the losses out the window and they've got to focus on...

00:22:37...repeating together.

00:22:38And if they can do that, they can be successful.

00:22:40They are all three very, very good at...

00:22:42...in the ring.

00:22:43Well, you heard what happened moments ago.

00:22:44I mean, Chuck Palumbo told Jamie Noble, I hate your guts.

00:22:47Jamie Noble said she crossed me for the last time.

00:22:49Michelle McCool really has to play that peacekeeper.

00:22:52E숫!

00:22:53I don't know!

00:22:54Nooo!

00:22:55Ohhhhhhhhh!

00:22:56I don't know!

00:22:57And their opponents first, from Los Angeles, California,

00:23:01weight 290...

00:23:0217 pounds is one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions.

00:23:07John Morrison!

00:23:09I don't like all of John Morrison's tactics and how he goes about...

00:23:12But this is pretty cool.

00:23:14How cool is this looking high definition?

00:23:16It looks fantastic!

00:23:17The slow motion, the sauntering down, John Morrison in the...

00:23:22The ultimate in cool.

00:23:23Former ECW Champion, now one half of the Tag Team Champions.

00:23:27I'm gonna make you play!

00:23:32I'm gonna make you play!

00:23:33I'm gonna make you play!

00:23:37And joining him, the team of Layla and the other half of the WWE...

00:23:42The WWE Tag Team Champions, The Miz!

00:23:45What's interesting about the six person tag team...

00:23:47The tag team match-up coach is the fact that Miz and Morrison, the Tag Team Champions,

00:23:50in Palumbo and Novo...

00:23:52...to team up this match-up tonight.

00:23:53All four of them are in the Royal Rumble match.

00:23:56Now, here's a question...

00:23:57What happens if we get to point the Royal Rumble match on Sunday, where it is indeed every man for himself?

00:24:02And Miz and Morrison are there together, and one has the opportunity to toss the other...

00:24:07...over the top rope, what do you do?

00:24:08Well, I think if they watched World Rumble matches in the past, you toss them!

00:24:11I mean the...

00:24:12The opportunity of what you win, if you win the Royal Rumble match, is much more important than one night of prison.

00:24:17I don't think Palumbo and or Novo would have any problem throwing each other over...

00:24:21Oh, we're not a...

00:24:22No doubt.

00:24:23I mean it's the most exciting 60 minutes in the entire year.

00:24:25A guy...

00:24:26A superstar...

00:24:27He comes into the match every 90 seconds, and then when all 30 are in...

00:24:31I mean you get a...

00:24:32He comes into the lemonade, tossed over the top rope, both feet...

00:24:34He must hit the floor.

00:24:35Quick cover by Palumbo, and the thing about the Royal Rumble...

00:24:37...and the thing about the Royal Rumble matches, how unpredictable it is.

00:24:38Anybody can win the Royal Rumble, any of those...

00:24:39Come on!

00:24:40Come on!

00:24:41Come on!

00:24:42Come on!

00:24:42Every entrance can win this match up, and go to WrestleMania, to be the main event in Battle...

00:24:47...for a championship.

00:24:48Which is exactly why I just said that all four of these men that will be in the Royal Rumble

00:24:51match need...

00:24:52I understand that if they get a shot to win it...

00:24:54...freak shit throughout the window.

00:24:55Jamie Noble might snap suplex...

00:24:56Jamie Noble might snap suplex...

00:24:57...on Morrison, here's the cover, and a quick kick out by John Morrison.

00:25:01Come on, Morrison!

00:25:02Come on, Morrison!

00:25:03Come on, Morrison!

00:25:04Come on, Morrison!

00:25:05Come on, Morrison!

00:25:06Come on, Morrison!

00:25:07Come on, Morrison!

00:25:08Come on, Morrison!

00:25:09Come on, Morrison!

00:25:10Come on, Morrison!

00:25:11Come on, Morrison!

00:25:12Come on, Morrison!

00:25:13Come on, Morrison!

00:25:14Come on, Morrison!

00:25:15Come on, Morrison!

00:25:16Come on, Morrison!

00:25:17Come on, Morrison!

00:25:18Come on, Morrison!

00:25:19Come on, Morrison!

00:25:20Come on, Morrison!

00:25:21Come on, Morrison!

00:25:22Come on, Morrison!

00:25:23Come on, Morrison!

00:25:24Come on, Morrison!

00:25:25Jamie Noble, and Miz rolls through, and Noble catches in the pit bull like mentality.

00:25:30Of Jamie Noble, and that mentality may help Mark Noble in the Royal Rumble matchup.

00:25:35Jamie Noble, tag was made by Palumbo, and I don't think Jamie Noble realizes that.

00:25:40The tag was made, a rough tag by Palumbo who tosses Noble off the cover.

00:25:45Hey! What are you doing? I'm helping you out. I had it!

00:25:50I didn't read, Jordale!

00:25:54Oh-ho!

00:25:55Michelle and Layla had their problems to hold the cover.

00:26:00Wait a minute.

00:26:01Wait a minute.

00:26:05Well, that was clearly an accident.

00:26:08Were you okay?

00:26:09Jamie Noble.

00:26:10Michelle!

00:26:11Michelle!

00:26:12Give me some help!

00:26:14Give me some help!

00:26:15Get a medic out here, now!

00:26:18Come on, medics! Let's go!

00:26:20Mastery!

00:26:21Ah!

00:26:22Hey, get him out here!

00:26:23Get him out here!

00:26:24Get him out here!

00:26:25Come on, get him out of here, go, let it.

00:26:30Come on, get him out of here, get him out of here.

00:26:35Get him in there, get him out of here.

00:26:37Are you a medic?

00:26:39Come on.

00:26:40Get him in there.

00:26:41Get him in there.

00:26:42Get him in there.

00:26:43Appreciate it.

00:26:44Appreciate it.

00:26:45All right

00:26:50You

00:40:52You

00:40:54You

00:40:56You

00:40:55to stay away from Hornswogler.

00:40:57Well, normally you would think that this match would finish.

00:41:00But I think Greg Culley loves a match like this with notice call vacations.

00:41:05Pitfalls, indoor submissions.

00:41:07Don't forget, no count outs as well.

00:41:09And look at the size.

00:41:10The discrepancy between Culley and Finley and, I believe,

00:41:14Richard Singh just told him.

00:41:15He loves that steal, tear in, but Finley took advantage.

00:41:18Wow.

00:41:19But did you see how Culley-

00:41:20He just knocked the shillelagh out of Finley's hand.

00:41:23And whatever advantage that Finley-

00:41:25he had to start the match is gone.

00:41:27The great Culley in the Rumble match is well-

00:41:30And Culley just hammering away at Finley.

00:41:34And the question-

00:41:35It becomes who would eliminate Culley in the Rumble match?

00:41:38Who could get this big man off his-

00:41:40feet and over the top rope?

00:41:42Well, I don't know who it's gonna be.

00:41:43This could be the biggest-

00:41:45Royal Rumble match we have ever had.

00:41:47And Finley, he's talking about 30 to 1.

00:41:49Oh!

00:41:50I think they've gotta be higher than that because

00:41:52of the superstars that are in the Royal Rumble match.

00:41:55And Finley continues to look back at Hornswoggle.

00:42:00Culley who has-

00:42:01Had runs in-

00:42:02But it's with Finley-

00:42:03And Hornswoggle in the pass continues to-

00:42:05Glance back.

00:42:06Well, Mr. McMahon's tough love.

00:42:10You know-

00:42:11You know-

00:42:12Go-

00:42:13Go-

00:42:14Culley!

00:42:15Measuring his man.

00:42:16Finley whipped into the corner!

00:42:18And Culley with a big clothesline!

00:42:20And Ranjan Singh tossing the steel chair in that is perfectly legal-

00:42:25In this match.

00:42:26Well, you can see that the tough love that Mr. McMahon had for-

00:42:30Hornswoggle a couple of weeks ago is starting to come back to full fruition in Hornswoggle.

00:42:35You can see-

00:42:36And there's been a couple-

00:42:37Oh, and it won't go!

00:42:38That's legal in this match!

00:42:39There's been a couple occasions-

00:42:40In the past where Hornswoggle-

00:42:42Oh!

00:42:43Was supposed to be in match-ups with Grace Culley-

00:42:45Before Finley saved him!

00:42:47It protected Hornswoggle!

00:42:48But there may be no protection-

00:42:50If that keeps up with Culley-

00:42:52And I think that Hornswoggle's starting to figure that out-

00:42:55You can see that on his face!

00:42:57That Finley-

00:42:58Oh!

00:42:59Oh!

00:43:00Every passing moment-

00:43:01The great Culley continues the domination-

00:43:04And you mentioned-

00:43:05That Finley was put into the Royal Rumble match on Sunday to protect Hornswoggle, Mr. McMahon's son!

00:43:10Finley put into the match by Mr. McMahon!

00:43:12And there's the strength of Culley!

00:43:14Catching Finley-

00:43:15With those huge football-

00:43:17With my hands!

00:43:18And Finley-

00:43:19Oh!

00:43:20Did you see Culley just tossing Finley to the mat below?

00:43:25And the face tells it all!

00:43:27Hornswoggle begging Finley to get up-

00:43:30But I don't think there's any getting up for Finley here tonight!

00:43:33This Belfast brawl is-

00:43:35Completely favored Culley since the beginning!

00:43:38The horror in the eye!

00:43:40It's etched on the face of Hornswoggle as he watches his great protector Finley-

00:43:45Finley being ripped apart!

00:43:46Oh!

00:43:47Oh!

00:43:48Oh!

00:43:50Oh!

00:43:51Oh!

00:43:52Driving the breath from Finley!

00:43:55And remember, no count outs, no disqualifications!

00:43:59Great-

00:44:00Ali!

00:44:01Just tearing apart this announce table!

00:44:05Finley!

00:44:06Finley!

00:44:07In trouble outside the ring!

00:44:08And Hornswoggle!

00:44:09Culley's got Horn-

00:44:10Hornswoggle!

00:44:11Hornswoggle!

00:44:12Not through the table!

00:44:13And Finley with a Culley!

00:44:15And Culley was gonna drive Hornswoggle through the table!

00:44:20And now the Vicious are sucked by Finley!

00:44:22The great protector!

00:44:23Take it!

00:44:24Culley!

00:44:25Culley down and out!

00:44:26Finley making short-

00:44:30Culley was okay with a glance over his shoulder!

00:44:33And now the beating continues!

00:44:35With a Culley!

00:44:36And I don't think I've ever seen Finley as aggressive!

00:44:40As he is right now!

00:44:41The great Culley is down and not getting up!

00:44:43You can see the emotion pouring-

00:44:45Culley through the veins of Finley once Culley laid his hands on-

00:44:50Hornswoggle!

00:44:51And Finley with a look in his eyes!

00:44:55As he assaults and attacks Culley!

00:44:58Shillelagh after shillelagh-

00:45:00Clearly fist after fist off the skull of the great Culley!

00:45:04And I think-

00:45:05Culley understands he can beat the great Culley!

00:45:08And the great Culley!

00:45:10And there you see the remnants of the Shillelagh assault!

00:45:14We have never seen-

00:45:15And the great Culley!

00:45:16And down like this!

00:45:17Taking a beating like this!

00:45:18Steel chair thundering-

00:45:20Right off the open wound of the skull of Culley!

00:45:24And still protect-

00:45:25Protecting Hornswoggle all the while!

00:45:27This is a Belfast brawl!

00:45:29Like only-

00:45:30Finley envisions it!

00:45:31Oh!

00:45:32Steel chairs and shillelies and-

00:45:35Fists and boots and knees and bone to bone!

00:45:40At this point does Finley even care about winning this match?

00:45:43Right now it is 1-2-

00:45:453-

00:45:46Pound!

00:45:47I mean pound and pound!

00:45:48These-

00:45:49This violent-

00:45:50Vicious attack by Fiddley!

00:45:52All began!

00:45:53Fiddley kicked it into a high-

00:45:55Gear when Culley put his hands on Hornswoggle!

00:45:59It was like-

00:46:00The emotion was just driven from the body of Fiddley!

00:46:03When Culley laid his-

00:46:05Hands on Hornswoggle!

00:46:09And-

00:46:10Tonight!

00:46:11At least for tonight!

00:46:12The Great Protector has done it again!

00:46:15But will it be the same Sunday in the Royal Rumble match?

00:46:20This is all!

00:46:21When Culley grabbed Hornswoggle and was gonna-

00:46:25They're driving through this table, Fiddley!

00:46:27You saw the-

00:46:28You saw the rage just-

00:46:30He opened his eyes!

00:46:31And the assault!

00:46:32The vicious assault began!

00:46:33And the fury-

00:46:35He continued!

00:46:36Because Fiddley-

00:46:37But who saw the rage?

00:46:38Around the throat of Hornswoggle!

00:46:40He realized,

00:46:41If I don't come right now,

00:46:42Things could end for Hornswoggle!

00:46:45Things could end Sunday at the Rumble!

00:46:47For Hornswoggle as well!

00:46:49Finley-

00:46:50He has to continue the role as the protector!

00:46:53Well ladies and gentlemen,

00:46:54Still the Cup-

00:46:55Tonight,

00:46:56You wanna talk about violence?

00:46:57You wanna talk about physical?

00:46:58That's what this match is all about!

00:47:00The Undertaker versus Big Daddy V!

00:47:03The first time ever!

00:47:05Tonight!

00:47:10The Undertaker versus Big Daddy V!

00:47:55First of all, I want to thank you.

00:47:57I want to thank you for what you did out there.

00:48:13And what I'm saying is that he's coming your way in the rumble.

00:48:17You can count on that.

00:48:17You know what flows through these veins?

00:48:19I understand what flows through those veins.

00:48:20I don't want to hear it.

00:48:21I'm Irish too.

00:48:25And I mean that.

00:48:26Thank you for taking care of my son.

00:48:29I'm not going anywhere.

00:48:30I can stay right here.

00:48:31I know you can do what you want to do.

00:48:32Just let me have.

00:48:32I'll chat with my son, please.

00:48:49You wanted to be in this rumble.

00:48:51You're in it now.

00:48:52That's exactly what can happen to you.

00:48:54Or worse.

00:48:55Think about that.

00:48:56It's every man.

00:48:57himself out there.

00:48:58Do you know what I just said?

00:49:01How do you.

00:49:02Every man for himself, which means that you can't trust any.

00:49:07one.

00:49:08If I was in it, you couldn't trust me.

00:49:09Do you understand what I'm saying to you?

00:49:12I'm saying you can't trust Finley.

00:49:17That's exactly what I'm saying.

00:49:18Get it through your.

00:49:20That's exactly what I'm saying.

00:49:21Get it through your.

00:49:22Thick skull.

00:49:23And by the way, one other thing.

00:49:24Your last name is not Finley.

00:49:26You're.

00:49:27Your last name is McMahon.

00:49:28And don't you ever forget that.

00:52:41The championship will Batista make it eight in a row this year.

00:52:46He's got to win.

00:52:46The World Football Match first to get it done.

00:52:48I don't see any reason why Batista can't get it done.

00:52:51He's ready.

00:52:53He's fired up.

00:52:54And Sunday can't get here early enough for that man.

00:52:56Get him.

00:53:01All these people talk.

00:53:06Bye.

00:53:11Next stop, Medicine Square Garden.

00:53:16The World Football Match first to get it done.

00:53:18The World Football Match first to get it done.

00:53:21No!

00:53:22No!

00:53:24No!

00:53:25No!

00:53:26No!

00:53:27No!

00:53:28No!

00:53:29No!

00:53:30No!

00:53:31No!

00:53:32No!

00:53:33No!

00:53:34WWE Royal Rumble

00:53:36Live this Sunday on Pay-Per-View

00:53:40Let's get ready

00:53:41Get her up!

00:53:42No!

00:53:43No!

00:53:44No!

00:53:45No!

00:53:46No!

00:53:47No!

00:53:48And here on SmackDown we're still trying to decipher what happened

00:53:51earlier on tonight

00:53:52It was Rochelle, Chuck and Jamie in a six person tag team matchup

00:53:56and all the problems between Chuck and Jamie Noble really escalated

00:54:01Shella Kuhl who'd been playing Peacekeeper really got caught in the middle

00:54:05You see her hitting her

00:54:06Shella Kuhl on the concrete

00:54:07Jamie Noble doing the right thing coming out to Michelle McCool

00:54:10Coming to her A

00:54:11Shella Kuhl made

00:54:13But Chuck Colombo inexplicably blocked

00:54:16She lost it

00:54:21I believe that Colombo would have put his personal problems aside

00:54:26with Jamie Noble for the time being for Michelle's well-being

00:54:30But he didn't do

00:54:31Let's do it

00:54:32And then this

00:54:35And we had hope

00:54:36That

00:54:37That

00:54:38That was an accident

00:54:39With these actions

00:54:41May make some people think otherwise

00:54:42May make some people think otherwise

00:54:46And this here is what happened when Michelle was taken.

00:54:51Take it out of the arena.

00:54:53Up and over.

00:54:55See ya.

00:54:56Is she alright?

00:54:58Jamie, we gotta go take care of her.

00:54:59Is she alright?

00:55:00We gotta go take a look at her.

00:55:01I'm sorry.

00:55:02God, I'm sorry.

00:55:03I can't believe I let this happen Michelle.

00:55:05She's gonna be alright.

00:55:06Let him do what they want to be.

00:55:07We gotta go take care of her Jamie.

00:55:08Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:55:11I'm gonna get Palombo for this Michelle.

00:55:13I'm sorry.

00:55:14Get the f*** out of here.

00:55:16Get the door open.

00:55:21This guy's pressure.

00:55:24He's taking over the airway.

00:55:26Man, we can't control over.

00:55:28Oh my God.

00:55:29And here is the man who will be heavier.

00:55:31This guy's entrance in this year's World Rumble match.

00:55:34The 500 pound.

00:55:36The Mastodon.

00:55:37Oh my God.

00:55:38Oh my God.

00:55:39Oh my God.

00:55:40Oh my God.

00:55:41Oh my God.

00:55:41The Mastodon is set for one fall.

00:55:42Introducing first finger coming to the ring by Max Shrugger.

00:55:46In the corner of New York.

00:55:47Weighing 487 pounds.

00:55:49Big.

00:55:51Daddy.

00:55:52Daddy.

00:55:53And who will ever forget what happened last week right here on Friday Night.

00:55:56The Undertaker was here predicting a second straight Royal Rumble victory.

00:56:01When he was interrupted by Big Daddy V.

00:56:06And things got physical as Big Daddy V made a beeline for the Dead Man.

00:56:11The Undertaker as he always does.

00:56:12Wasn't backing down.

00:56:13Not one bit.

00:56:14Took a shot at.

00:56:16Big Daddy and here comes B.

00:56:17But I ask you this.

00:56:18You see.

00:56:21Just the hard hitting.

00:56:24This isn't gonna work at the Royal Rumble.

00:56:26It worked last Friday.

00:56:27But The Undertaker has so many superstars to go through.

00:56:31And you can see the disdain on his face last week.

00:56:36Will anybody be able to for that 500 pound frame of Big Daddy V.

00:56:41Over the top rope.

00:56:42Even The Undertaker in Sunday's Royal Rumble.

00:56:44Well I think I said it earlier.

00:56:46That it's gonna be the biggest Royal Rumble match ever.

00:56:49And he's the biggest.

00:56:51Isn't there a circle in lullaby.

00:56:52I gotta go.

00:56:54There's just one last set.

00:56:55When I need six or past.

00:56:56With G-

00:56:56He's not the best.

00:57:01He's not the best.

00:57:06He's not the best.

00:57:11He's not the best.

00:57:16From Death Valley, weighing 299 pounds.

00:57:21The Undertaker!

00:57:26Only three superstars in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment.

00:57:31Have won two Royal Rumble matches in a row.

00:57:34Hogan, Michael...

00:57:36Austin, The Undertaker, looks to make it four.

00:57:41As he heads into Sunday's Royal Rumble match.

00:57:46Last year, The Undertaker won the Royal Rumble matches.

00:57:49He was left alone in the ring with Sean...

00:57:51...in one of the classic endings to a Royal Rumble match ever.

00:57:55And then The Undertaker...

00:57:56The Undertaker went on to WrestleMania and won the world title.

00:57:59But Michael, I ask you this...

00:58:01Is there a superstar in the Royal Rumble match that has more guys after...

00:58:06...under his head?

00:58:07Did The Undertaker pass?

00:58:08I don't think so.

00:58:10Did The Undertaker...

00:58:11The Undertaker's not backing down.

00:58:12He's not backing away.

00:58:13He walked out here last week, Coach, and he said...

00:58:16I don't talk about taking souls.

00:58:19I just do it.

00:58:21If you stand before me, you're gonna fall before me.

00:58:24And if you enter that ring...

00:58:26You will rest in peace.

00:58:29You will rest in peace.

00:58:31I'm sorry.

00:58:32I said...

00:58:33You are.

00:58:36There is a region рядом with...

00:58:37...and thearakirid.

00:58:38So...

00:58:39I Hong G pontos passed away.

00:58:40This is a feature in cuz...

00:58:41Essentially there was a war on Takenberg.

00:58:42But this seemed bo�� from time.

00:58:43I said this did not need a scream.

00:58:44I mean some hoe...

00:58:45It was between 2nd week from land...

00:58:46...and I was inherent with my back insight.

00:58:47No thing happened...

00:58:48...magnuna.

00:58:49So happened...

00:58:50It might make more of a question.

00:58:51I don't think...

00:58:52It seemed harsh before me.

00:58:53Yeah?

00:58:54It was supposed to be a ring.

00:58:55And I took Godzilla.

00:58:56It'sתimpressionly...

00:58:58...as I see...

00:58:59inspiring feeling of The Legendary Undertaker, but I think you saw the face of him.

00:59:04That he's not going to back down despite the awe-inspiring incident, despite the awe-inspiring incident.

00:59:09Everything that backs The Undertaker, the reputation, Big Daddy V.

00:59:14All he cares about is here and now and also this Sunday.

00:59:19Coach Big Daddy V does not look to be intimidated as he's set to go one-on-one.

00:59:24The Undertaker over the years has made a...

00:59:29...career of being able to adapt.

00:59:32He is the WWE's version of...

00:59:34...evolutionary theory.

00:59:37He has adapted to so many opponents over the years and...

00:59:39...again tonight.

00:59:40He must do it against the 500-pound master.

00:59:42Yeah, The Undertaker is taking a big...

00:59:44...small...

00:59:45...boom!

00:59:46In the right hands by the best pure striker in the history...

00:59:49...of this industry.

00:59:50The Undertaker.

00:59:51But there's the strength of Big Daddy V.

00:59:54...who follows it up with a clothesline.

00:59:56Wow!

00:59:57What a clothesline by the...

00:59:59500-pounder.

01:00:00And you know that Big Daddy V is gonna take his time, be methodical, and just try to...

01:00:04...to wear The Undertaker down.

01:00:05He's in the ref now.

01:00:06He got 240.

01:00:07Use it!

01:00:08Get up, buddy!

01:00:09Two!

01:00:10Oh, and it's rare to say the least.

01:00:12To say that The Undertaker...

01:00:14He's mad-handed!

01:00:17The Undertaker with the right hands!

01:00:19To the skull of Big Daddy V!

01:00:21Who just dropped The Undertaker with a headlock!

01:00:24And even though Big Daddy V is big, you see how quick he was right there with that headlock.

01:00:29And it's just the brute mass and the brute strength and how he uses the...

01:00:34...big Daddy V does to wear his opponent down.

01:00:36He has not so much how hard each and every strike.

01:00:38He has not so much how hard each and every strike.

01:00:39It is.

01:00:40It's how many comes.

01:00:41And it's how much mass comes behind it.

01:00:43He smothers you!

01:00:44And I don't mean that in a funny way.

01:00:45He smothers you!

01:00:46Big Daddy V does!

01:00:47And here comes the fight!

01:00:49500!

01:00:50And that's like getting hit by a Mack truck!

01:00:53And The Undertaker...

01:00:54The Undertaker could not get out of the way.

01:00:55The Undertaker driven to his knees...

01:00:56The Undertaker...

01:00:57The Undertaker driven to his knees...

01:00:59And that's like Daddy V...

01:01:01...so quickly in control...

01:01:03And if...

01:01:04Where's The Undertaker down tonight?

01:01:06Take something out of The Undertaker.

01:01:08You may take the favorite.

01:01:09Get out of The Royal Bumble Match, and watch this.

01:01:13Boom!

01:01:14Undertaker, no, it's Undertaker.

01:01:18Clanny picked Daddy V.

01:01:19The DDT, could be the opening he needs, shoots the half.

01:01:23Here's the cover, Pantor.

01:01:24Kick out at two.

01:01:29Undertaker has been in the ring for the biggest and the baddest over the years.

01:01:33And you're watching the most good.

01:01:34Elite Fighter today, yesterday, and tomorrow in The Undertaker.

01:01:38You see how The Undertaker's...

01:01:39He's so ugly, you heard him groan as he tried to bring the big man to his feet.

01:01:44Boom!

01:01:44Undertaker, trying to wear the shoulder, work the shoulder, perhaps set up Big Daddy V.

01:01:49That's what he's gonna do.

01:01:52And if there's one way to get this big man...

01:01:54It may be with a near 300 pounder, delivering old school.

01:01:58But you can see...

01:01:59Big Daddy V able to counter.

01:02:04Go!

01:02:04A clubbing blow, driving Undertaker out of the ring.

01:02:09And again, now a cheap shot by Matt Stryker.

01:02:14Remember, Matt Stryker, he's the man who really cost The Undertaker the opportunity.

01:02:19He's gonna be battling for the world title at the Royal Rumble.

01:02:22What a shot!

01:02:23Because it was Matt Stryker.

01:02:24Who failed to count to the count of three, and that beat the clock match a couple of weeks ago.

01:02:29Will the man be...

01:02:29Inside the man, is certainly right now, being the man.

01:02:33Oh, an Undertaker!

01:02:34After...

01:02:34Bounced on the steel steps, battling back with the right hands.

01:02:39Oh, he got it!

01:02:39The Skull Off Steel.

01:02:42We're seeing right now how hard The Undertaker is having to...

01:02:44To work to get Big Daddy V off his feet.

01:02:48Undertaker 10 years ago...

01:02:49He's gonna plow through a guy like Big Daddy V.

01:02:51But he's had to learn to evolutionize how he fights.

01:02:54And the fact of the matter is, Sunday, somebody is gonna have to get that fight.

01:02:59100-pounder over the top rope.

01:03:02Not through it, not underneath the bottom rope, but over the top rope to win.

01:03:04That Royal Rumble match.

01:03:08Undertaker.

01:03:09And tonight...

01:03:09The Undertaker somehow has to pin Big Daddy V.

01:03:13That's no easy task either.

01:03:14How do you keep that man down?

01:03:16Big Daddy V.

01:03:17Undertaker!

01:03:18Oh!

01:03:19300-pounder...

01:03:19Still trying to get the big man off his feet.

01:03:23Undertaker again, lining up.

01:03:24The second time to the corner.

01:03:26Normally, those moves knock the man down.

01:03:29But no!

01:03:29A boot this time did!

01:03:32To the skull of Big Daddy V!

01:03:33The big man's down!

01:03:34There's the leg drop!

01:03:36Here's the cover!

01:03:37This could be it!

01:03:38Shoulders down!

01:03:39And a kick!

01:03:39And a kick out at 2.

01:03:41Well, The Undertaker is using everything in his arsenal to get Big Daddy V down.

01:03:44But now, how do you get the 1, 2, 3?

01:03:47That's great.

01:03:48Got to figure it out.

01:03:49And...

01:03:49Undertaker going for a choke slam!

01:03:51Oh, no!

01:03:52Undertaker measuring the...

01:03:53Big Daddy V!

01:03:54Can he get the...

01:03:54500-pounder in the air!

01:03:57You've got to be kidding me!

01:03:58You've got to be kidding me!

01:04:00A choke slam!

01:04:02Undertaker!

01:04:03That's it!

01:04:03The cover!

01:04:04This is the...

01:04:04It's over!

01:04:05There's Taylor!

01:04:06Big Daddy V kicked out!

01:04:07He kicked out!

01:04:09I can't...

01:04:09I cannot remember!

01:04:11Undertaker can't believe it!

01:04:12I can't believe it!

01:04:13Big Daddy V kicked out!

01:04:14Oh, that choke slam!

01:04:17What is the last time you saw that?

01:04:19The Undertaker...

01:04:19Undertaker is beside himself

01:04:21not really knowing what to do!

01:04:23And when's the last time you...

01:04:24You see on The Undertaker

01:04:25that predicament!

01:04:27And Undertaker going for old school!

01:04:29Up to the top rope!

01:04:30Measuring Big Daddy V!

01:04:33The blow across the shoulder!

01:04:34Drives Big Daddy V to one knee!

01:04:38Boot to the temple!

01:04:39I've got to give Big Daddy V credit

01:04:41showing Hart

01:04:42staying in this match!

01:04:44Oh!

01:04:44And that's in The Undertaker!

01:04:46In the side slam!

01:04:48And Undertaker!

01:04:49Undertaker!

01:04:49He quickly rolls out of the way!

01:04:51He was trying to catch his breath!

01:04:53But he already...

01:04:53But he also instinctively...

01:04:54Moved out of the way quickly!

01:04:56And Undertaker going for the triangle choke!

01:04:58The triangle choke!

01:04:59So many have tapped out 2-b-4!

01:05:02I think Big Daddy V is way too big...

01:05:04Oh, he is way too big!

01:05:07And you can see now,

01:05:08back on the offensive...

01:05:09Undertaker!

01:05:09Could not apply the triangle choke

01:05:11to that massive body

01:05:13of Big Daddy V!

01:05:14So Big Daddy V's taking the choke slam

01:05:17and the triangle choke

01:05:18out of the arsenal!

01:05:19of The Undertaker!

01:05:24And Undertaker!

01:05:24Maybe moments away from losing...

01:05:27The momentum going into Sunday!

01:05:29500 pounds!

01:05:32And now just clubbing

01:05:33instead of going for the win!

01:05:34Clubbing the back of The Undertaker!

01:05:38The Phenom!

01:05:39Squashing and suffocating

01:05:42The Undertaker!

01:05:44And they'll blow it!

01:05:44After blow driving

01:05:46the air from the lungs of Undertaker!

01:05:47Oh, wait a second!

01:05:48Who again goes for the triangle!

01:05:49Oh, wait a second!

01:05:50Oh, wait a second!

01:05:51Wait a second!

01:05:52Wait a second!

01:05:53It wasn't a triangle choke!

01:05:54What the hell is that?

01:05:58Undertaker!

01:05:59Big Daddy V is desperately tapping

01:06:04Undertaker

01:06:07From out of nowhere

01:06:09The winner of this match

01:06:10As a result of a submission

01:06:12The Undertaker

01:06:14And my mind

01:06:14There is blood coming out of the mouth

01:06:17Of Big Daddy V

01:06:19I don't know what that was

01:06:21What it was

01:06:22Was the Undertaker

01:06:23See if you had set up

01:06:24Big Daddy V

01:06:24For the triangle choke again

01:06:26But from out of nowhere

01:06:28He slipped the leg under the chin

01:06:29It's Mike Jordan's submission maneuver

01:06:31We've never seen before

01:06:33Mike

01:06:34And Mark Henry

01:06:35Mark Henry

01:06:39Heavy

01:06:39In the ring

01:06:40But

01:06:40Apparently not

01:06:44In the ring

01:06:45In the ring

01:06:47Mark Henry

01:06:48Tell The Undertaker

01:06:49You went to

01:06:49Too far

01:06:50The look is concerned

01:06:52In the eyes

01:06:53Of the world's strongest man

01:06:54Big Daddy V

01:06:59One pouring from the mouth

01:07:01After that

01:07:02That unique submission

01:07:04Saneuver by The Undertaker

01:07:06And Mike

01:07:06If you ask

01:07:07What it was

01:07:08Well what it was

01:07:09Was death

01:07:09Confestating

01:07:10The Undertaker

01:07:13Adapted again tonight

01:07:14The chokeslam didn't work

01:07:16The triangle choke

01:07:18Didn't work

01:07:18So The Undertaker

01:07:19Went to the well

01:07:20He came up with something

01:07:22We've never seen before

01:07:23And he made Big Daddy

01:07:24Top out

01:07:27And did you see

01:07:28The look

01:07:29Of maybe

01:07:29Fear

01:07:30In the face

01:07:31Of Big Daddy V

01:07:32Well that's

01:07:32Vintage Undertaker

01:07:34All those things

01:07:34You just mentioned

01:07:35Figuring out a way

01:07:37Changing

01:07:37His style

01:07:39To

01:07:39Get a win

01:07:40Whatever that was

01:07:42The Undertaker

01:07:44Be

01:07:45An almost

01:07:47Unbeatable man

01:07:48In Big Daddy V

01:07:49That takes

01:07:49Who tells the story

01:07:50It was sudden

01:07:52It was sudden

01:07:53Impact

01:07:54By the

01:07:54Feet on The Undertaker

01:07:56The Undertaker

01:07:58Adapted again tonight

01:07:59What will the phenom

01:08:01Be able to do

01:08:02To win his second

01:08:03Straight

01:08:04Rumble match

01:08:04On Sunday

01:08:05Well he's gonna have

01:08:07To figure it out

01:08:08Because he's only

01:08:09Got 48 hours

01:08:09Until it's go time

01:08:11Welcome back

01:08:14To Friday night

01:08:15Smackdown

01:08:16In HD

01:08:17We're at

01:08:18University of Virginia

01:08:192-0

01:08:19Two nights away

01:08:20From the Royal Rumble

01:08:21In the legendary

01:08:22Royal Rumble match

01:08:23The most unique match

01:08:24At WWE

01:08:25It happens just once a year

01:08:27It yields some amazing results

01:08:29Oh no

01:08:34Oh no

01:08:34The Royal Rumble Match, 30 superstars.

01:08:39One winner.

01:08:42The prize, a main event title.

01:08:44A full shot at WrestleMania 24.

01:08:4820 years of history.

01:08:49It is now time for the Royal Rumble.

01:08:5421 winners.

01:08:57A who's who of sports entertainment.

01:08:59It's over.

01:09:01What a road ball.

01:09:03Oh, the big show's over.

01:09:04What makes this match so special?

01:09:08Let's count the ways.

01:09:09Five hundred sixty-nine.

01:09:13Since 1988.

01:09:14Five hundred sixty-nine superstars have tried to win the Rumble, only to be eliminated.

01:09:19Thirty-six.

01:09:23The Rattlesnake holds the record for...

01:09:24For eliminating the most competitors.

01:09:26It has been Royal Rumble.

01:09:29Three-six.

01:09:29Five hundred sixty-nine.

01:09:32Eleven.

01:09:33The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels...

01:09:34Will be appearing in his eleventh Royal Rumble Match.

01:09:37The most of any superstar...

01:09:39Eleven is also the magic number for Kane, who eliminated...

01:09:44A record eleven superstars in a single match.

01:09:47Kane is going crazy here!

01:09:49He's on a rampage now!

01:09:51And remember, the Big Red Machine still has unfinished business entries...

01:09:54...to be appearing in his tenth consecutive Royal Rumble Match.

01:09:58Three.

01:09:59The split personality...

01:09:59The personalities of Mick Foley made three appearances in one match.

01:10:03I don't know!

01:10:04Mick Foley!

01:10:04Because his foley's baby boy is pulling a triple header!

01:10:08Two.

01:10:09The...

01:10:09The number of feet that must touch the ground for the elimination to count.

01:10:13Shades of Shawn Michaels...

01:10:14In 1995, Jericho stays alive!

01:10:18Not just one, but both feet.

01:10:19One.

01:10:21The ninth wonder of the world, Shades of Shawn Michaels...

01:10:24...is the only one...

01:10:24...to ever compete in a Rumble Match.

01:10:27Unfortunately, someone had her number.

01:10:29There goes China!

01:10:31The Rumble State doesn't give a damn!

01:10:34...if you're a man or a woman!

01:10:39Six.

01:10:39Sixty-two minutes, 12 seconds.

01:10:42Rey Mysterio endured an hour, two minutes...

01:10:44...and 12 seconds of fierce competition to make history with the longest appearance...

01:10:49...in a Rumble Match.

01:10:50He did it!

01:10:51No way!

01:10:52He did it!

01:10:53Rey Mysterio did it!

01:10:54Two seconds.

01:10:57The Warlord earned a dubious...

01:10:59...a distinction of the shortest time in the Rumble Match.

01:11:02There's the beef is right, and they're...

01:11:04...you're going to beat!

01:11:05What a surprise Warlord out of there!

01:11:09Three.

01:11:09Stone Cold reigns in Royal Rumble wins with three grueling victories.

01:11:14Go!

01:11:14Stone Cold is going to WrestleMania!

01:11:17And Sunday, numbers mean...

01:11:19...everything.

01:11:21Both the highs and the lows.

01:11:24Number one, a definite disadvantage where time is not on your side.

01:11:29Yet a number that has produced more winners than the coveted number 30 spot.

01:11:34Can you believe this?

01:11:36Michael's the first man in!

01:11:39And the last man standing!

01:11:42In fact, the last out of the gate...

01:11:44...has only won once in the Rumble's 20-year existence.

01:11:47The Undertaker has won!

01:11:49The Royal Rumble Match!

01:11:55So which number brings the greatest of fortunes?

01:11:58That's...

01:11:59That would be the number 27.

01:12:01Four men have won the Royal Rumble being the 27th...

01:12:04...selection.

01:12:06This Sunday, on the 27th of January.

01:12:09Will that number once again lead to success?

01:12:13And remember...

01:12:14Whoever wins the Rumble...

01:12:16Since 1993...

01:12:1873%

01:12:19...of the winners have gone on to win the big one at that year's WrestleMania.

01:12:23And that is the...

01:12:24...most telling number of them all.

01:12:28This Sunday's the...

01:12:29...21st Royal Rumble Match.

01:12:31Odds are...

01:12:32...this will be the greatest Royal Rumble match...

01:12:34...if the numbers have proved anything...

01:12:37...it's that anything can happen.

01:12:40It only happens once a year.

01:12:42Who will headline WrestleMania?

01:12:44There's only one road to WrestleMania.

01:12:47And it begins at the Royal Rumble.

01:12:49It's the only one road to the Royal Rumble.

01:12:51This one will have to appear the same...

01:12:52...and this one will realistically remain in the same place...

01:12:53...in the same way as the Battle of the Royal Rumble.

01:12:54Oh, no.

01:12:55No, no.

01:12:56No.

01:12:57No, no.

01:12:58No, no.

01:12:59No, no.

01:13:00No.

01:13:01No, no.

01:13:02No, no.

01:13:03No, no.

01:13:05No, no.

01:13:07No.

01:13:08No, no.

01:13:09No.

01:13:11No, no.

01:13:13No, no.

01:13:15No, no.

01:13:16No.

01:13:17No, no.

01:13:18No, no.

01:12:54We know, Michael, the most important thing about the Royal Rumble match is the winner.

01:12:59That is indeed the most important statistic.

01:13:03It is two nights away.

01:13:04Eight hours away, 30 men, the most unique match in the WWE.

01:13:09The winner of the Royal Rumble match heads to WrestleMania.

01:13:12We have to toss every superstar over the top.

01:13:14Both feet must hit the ground.

01:13:17Only one will stand at the end.

01:13:19Randy Orton's got to be thinking, how do I stop the momentum of Jeff Hardy?

01:13:24Jeff Hardy showed Monday night on Raw that he may be unstoppable.

01:13:29He is at the clock.

01:13:29Climax of his career, and it may climax with the WWE Championship.

01:13:33Well, January 27th.

01:13:342008 will be the last night of Ric Flair's legendary career.

01:13:38MVP is at an all-time high.

01:13:39But Ric Flair went back to get to the wall.

01:13:43He's shown he's as resilient as it is.

01:13:44Chris Jericho's team bound and determined to make JBL pay, especially...

01:13:49That's a Jericho speech on Monday night.

01:13:52Chris Jericho has laid down the gauntlet, has promised...

01:13:54It was a war at the Royal Rumble.

01:13:57JBL better be ready.

01:13:58It will be ultimate...

01:13:59Underdog, Rey Mysterio, be able to wrestle that world title away from Edge.

01:14:04Rey Mysterio got Batista's 12 wishes here tonight.

01:14:09But it's 1-1.

01:14:09Mysterio and Edge for this business biggest prize here on SmackDown.

01:14:14Edge and Rey Mysterio.

01:14:19And that's an Edge gets by this man tonight.

01:14:24This contest is second one.

01:14:29Making his way to the ring from Chicago, Illinois.

01:14:33Way to 122.

01:14:34And Pump with some backup and Rey Mysterio...

01:14:39Tonight, a conspicuous by his absence, CM Punk's ECW Championship.

01:14:44The former ECW Champion because it was CM Punk versus Chavo Guerrero Tuesday night.

01:14:49On ECW, Chavo's new buddy, the World Champion, Edge on commentary in the match.

01:14:54It was made no disqualification.

01:14:57CM Punk, by all rights, should have retained...

01:14:59The title with the go to sleep, but from out of nowhere, a Spear by Edge perfect...

01:15:04Perfectly legal.

01:15:05Perfectly legal and Chavo walked out of ECW with the championship.

01:15:09Up next, the World Champion, Edge meets CM Punk.

01:15:14We're back on Friday Night SmackDown, our main event tonight...

01:15:19Stripes away from the Rumble, CM Punk in one-on-one action.

01:15:23He's got a little backup in Mysterio.

01:15:24I think you know...

01:15:29And his opponent...

01:15:32From Toronto, I think of Canada.

01:15:34Weighs 250 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion...

01:15:39The Rated R Superstar, Edge!

01:15:44And what a shot!

01:15:49Edge bringing his arm...

01:15:49Come back up, Hawkins and Ryder, his cronies...

01:15:52Well, wouldn't you expect anything less...

01:15:54And the World Heavyweight Champion always seems to have a play...

01:15:58Well, Edge...

01:15:59Have a planned Sunday...

01:16:00At the Royal Rumble when he defends the title...

01:16:03Against...

01:16:04The number one contender, Ray Mysterio...

01:16:07And for tonight, CM Punk's got a...

01:16:09He's gonna have some revenge...

01:16:10On his mind...

01:16:11He's gonna have some revenge...

01:16:12On his mind...

01:16:14And claims Edge, I'm sure...

01:16:15For costing him the ECW Championship...

01:16:18Well, Cleveland...

01:16:19You better believe that...

01:16:20You better believe that...

01:16:21That CM Punk certainly does...

01:16:22Because right now...

01:16:23CM Punk...

01:16:24Can't hardly wait...

01:16:25To get this match started...

01:16:28So it's Edge...

01:16:29One-on-one with CM Punk...

01:16:30And it is our pleasure...

01:16:31A very special guest joining us here...

01:16:34On the right side...

01:16:35The number one contender...

01:16:36Rey Mysterio...

01:16:37A very special treat...

01:16:39For all of us here...

01:16:40On Friday Night SmackDown...

01:16:41Rey welcome...

01:16:42As Edge starts this matchup...

01:16:43All against...

01:16:44CM Punk...

01:16:45Well...

01:16:46What I'm hoping right now...

01:16:47Is that CM Punk...

01:16:48Something's mumbling...

01:16:49A little bit...

01:16:50So I can have something to eat...

01:16:51At the Rumble...

01:16:52Well, just like Edge...

01:16:53Tried to do with you earlier on...

01:16:54When he...

01:16:55Said Hawkinson Ryder...

01:16:56After you...

01:16:57Right?

01:16:58You know what...

01:16:59They had no chance...

01:16:59See a front with a kick...

01:17:01To the back of the head...

01:17:02Who's got some...

01:17:03Revenge on his mind...

01:17:04Tonight...

01:17:05As he drives those knees...

01:17:06To the gun of Edge...

01:17:07Rey have been wanting...

01:17:08Asking this question...

01:17:09Oh!

01:17:09The past couple of weeks...

01:17:10What do you make of this...

01:17:12This new relationship with Edge...

01:17:13And your...

01:17:14Former buddy...

01:17:15Chavo Guerrero...

01:17:16Ah!

01:17:17What a kick...

01:17:18You know what...

01:17:19That's...

01:17:20That's something that's...

01:17:19Very sickening...

01:17:20It's disturbing to watch...

01:17:21It's...

01:17:22It's not private at all...

01:17:24It's out in the open...

01:17:25Oh!

01:17:26Oh!

01:17:27Edge called Chavo...

01:17:28Part of his...

01:17:29New...

01:17:30Familia...

01:17:31As CM Punk goes right...

01:17:32To work on the world champion...

01:17:33Here's the cover...

01:17:34Puckabule gonna kick out...

01:17:35Well you know what's not private...

01:17:36Ray is right now...

01:17:37CM Punk...

01:17:38Is showing that revenge...

01:17:39Is on his mind...

01:17:40You gotta love what you're seeing...

01:17:41Here early on in this match...

01:17:42I definitely do...

01:17:43I definitely do...

01:17:44You know what...

01:17:44CM Punk delivers those kicks...

01:17:46Like nobody else here...

01:17:47And Ray...

01:17:48I'm sure you're seeing...

01:17:49You gotta target that...

01:17:50Left arm and shoulder of Edge...

01:17:52That's just an advantage for me...

01:17:54At the rumble...

01:17:55You know...

01:17:56We have documented...

01:17:57How...

01:17:58Successfully...

01:17:59You've been on Royal Rumble nights...

01:18:00Obviously...

01:18:01Winning the Royal Rumble match...

01:18:02Now...

01:18:03This time...

01:18:04It's one on...

01:18:04We know that you can get it done...

01:18:06If you do...

01:18:07You'll become the World Heavyweight Champion...

01:18:08Well that's...

01:18:09That's what I hope for...

01:18:10That's my dream...

01:18:11Once again...

01:18:12Oh...

01:18:13Oh...

01:18:14To the face...

01:18:15By the World Champion...

01:18:17And Edge buys himself some time...

01:18:19Against CM Punk...

01:18:20Like I said before...

01:18:21You know...

01:18:22This is...

01:18:23This is another opportunity...

01:18:24That's presented...

01:18:25Oh...

01:18:26God...

01:18:27I heard that...

01:18:28All the way over here...

01:18:29Ray...

01:18:30Is there any concern in your mind...

01:18:31About...

01:18:32You know...

01:18:33All these allegiances...

01:18:34That Edge...

01:18:34Built up...

01:18:35Heading into Sunday...

01:18:36His relationship with Chavo...

01:18:37And Ryder...

01:18:38And Hawkins...

01:18:39And the general manager...

01:18:40Vicky Guerrero...

01:18:41I mean...

01:18:42Is any of that gonna...

01:18:43Come into play...

01:18:44That is a concern...

01:18:45That is a concern...

01:18:46Definitely...

01:18:47Because I have a history with Chavo...

01:18:48Uh...

01:18:49And now...

01:18:49I'm building a history with Edge...

01:18:50You know...

01:18:51And...

01:18:52It's just...

01:18:53With his relationship...

01:18:54What's going on...

01:18:55All of that...

01:18:56That's all the fury...

01:18:57That I'm gonna let go...

01:18:58Oh...

01:18:59No...

01:19:00Sam Punk stopping Edge...

01:19:01As he went to the top rope...

01:19:02Here we go...

01:19:03The World Champion...

01:19:04And...

01:19:05It's CM Punk...

01:19:06Measuring Edge...

01:19:08And...

01:19:09Over the top rope...

01:19:10And there's the ultimate...

01:19:11Opportunist Edge...

01:19:12Taking advantage...

01:19:13The question now is...

01:19:14CM Punk...

01:19:15Get back in the game...

01:19:16Or will Edge dominate...

01:19:17When we return...

01:19:19We are back on...

01:19:23Friday Night SmackDown...

01:19:24The World Champion Edge...

01:19:25Versus CM Punk...

01:19:26Two nights away...

01:19:27From Edge's...

01:19:28Meeting at the Royal Rumble...

01:19:29With our guest here...

01:19:30At ringside...

01:19:31Rey Mysterio...

01:19:32For the World Title...

01:19:33And CM Punk...

01:19:34To watch some revenge...

01:19:35On Edge...

01:19:36After Edge...

01:19:37Really costed the ECW Title...

01:19:38This past Tuesday...

01:19:39And Edge...

01:19:42Always the opportunist...

01:19:43Against...

01:19:44Back in control...

01:19:45I don't think Edge...

01:19:46Realized...

01:19:47That...

01:19:48He would have...

01:19:49Such a tough battle...

01:19:49On his hands...

01:19:50Just two days away...

01:19:51From the Royal Rumble...

01:19:52And...

01:19:53Oh...

01:19:54He got it...

01:19:55With that giant heel kick...

01:19:56Both men down...

01:19:57But Punk may have...

01:19:58Bought himself some time...

01:19:59One...

01:20:00One...

01:20:01Referee Mickey Henson...

01:20:02Begins the count...

01:20:03Two...

01:20:04Hawkins and Ryder...

01:20:05Edges Buddy's...

01:20:06At ringside...

01:20:07And watch this...

01:20:08Heel kick...

01:20:09By Punk...

01:20:10To the jaw of Edge...

01:20:11And Ryder...

01:20:12I don't think it's any secret...

01:20:13That...

01:20:14Edge has aligned himself...

01:20:15With Chavo Guerrero...

01:20:16Grabs the man...

01:20:17And knows you...

01:20:18Better than anybody...

01:20:19For the entire WWE...

01:20:20Right to the throat...

01:20:21Did you see that?

01:20:24CM Punk...

01:20:25Can he...

01:20:26Crawl toward a cover?

01:20:27What a big win this would be for Punk...

01:20:29And he could pin the world champion tonight...

01:20:31No...

01:20:32No...

01:20:33I'll tell you...

01:20:34During this match...

01:20:35Edge would have no momentum...

01:20:36Heading into his match with Mysterio on Sunday...

01:20:39No momentum...

01:20:40And maybe...

01:20:41The confidence lacking as well...

01:20:42Of course...

01:20:43Punk in trouble...

01:20:44Punk in...

01:20:44Trouble up top...

01:20:45Pulls through...

01:20:46And the shoulder's down...

01:20:47I said no...

01:20:48Kick out at two...

01:20:49Almost a huge upset by Punk...

01:20:51No...

01:20:52No...

01:20:53And I gotta give...

01:20:54Punk...

01:20:55A lot of credit...

01:20:56Has come out tonight...

01:20:57From the very beginning...

01:20:59And it's shown...

01:21:00That certainly revenge is on his mind...

01:21:01Has shown...

01:21:02That he's not intimidated whatsoever...

01:21:04By the World Heavyweight champ...

01:21:05But Punk was a proud...

01:21:06He's...

01:21:07He's...

01:21:08He's...

01:21:09Pinch...

01:21:10Ketschy Puck...

01:21:11Slamming him to the floor...

01:21:12Here's the cover...

01:21:13To...

01:21:14Kick out...

01:21:14CM Punk, we knew how proud he was to be CW champ.

01:21:19Remember the night he won the title and the emotion that he had when he won, he had the title stolen.

01:21:24Robbed from him Tuesday by Edge.

01:21:27That's the only thing that's happened.

01:21:29That's the concern that I'm going to have at the World Rumble, is the alliance with Jabba Guerrero.

01:21:34Edge, you don't forget Hawkins and Wyatt.

01:21:37Of course.

01:21:38And what will Edge do?

01:21:39He's going to have up his sleeve in order to stay the World Heavyweight Champion.

01:21:42Hawking out of the apron, going up to the...

01:21:44Top one.

01:21:45Oh, slipped.

01:21:46And Edge looks to take advantage, touch the leg, shoulders...

01:21:49He's down and a kick out.

01:21:52CM Punk slipping on the top.

01:21:54Rope.

01:21:55And Edge almost won this matchup because of it.

01:21:59The ultimate opportunist almost cashing in again.

01:22:04And Edge, CM Punk battling back with the white hands.

01:22:09There we go.

01:22:11There we go.

01:22:12There we go.

01:22:13Going for the go to sleep.

01:22:14And Edge counter.

01:22:15Punk almost had to go to sleep.

01:22:19In position.

01:22:20And Edge took advantage.

01:22:22And Punk simply tripped on the...

01:22:24Top rope.

01:22:25And Edge took advantage.

01:22:26Ray, you know better than anybody.

01:22:27It's high risk.

01:22:28High risk.

01:22:29There's no reward.

01:22:30But sometimes when that happens, it can also be wiped out.

01:22:33Yes, of course.

01:22:34You know what?

01:22:35I've been in Punk's position.

01:22:36I've slipped off the rope many times.

01:22:37Fatigue.

01:22:38Where...

01:22:39Lay down my knee brace.

01:22:40You know?

01:22:41And that obviously benefits in this case.

01:22:44Edge is benefiting Edge.

01:22:45Edge setting for that spear.

01:22:47That was the spear.

01:22:48Right in the jaw.

01:22:49Punk the title.

01:22:50Punk countered.

01:22:51Perfect timing by Punk.

01:22:52It's CM Punk.

01:22:54He's taking it to the world champion.

01:22:55This will be it.

01:22:56He's got it.

01:22:57No kick out at two.

01:22:59CM Punk moments away again from Penny the world champion.

01:23:04And what would this do to Edge's career if he gets pinned two times in the course...

01:23:0948 hours.

01:23:10I'll tell you what.

01:23:11It's definitely gonna benefit me at the world rumble.

01:23:13He's gonna come in...

01:23:14With the lack of concentration.

01:23:15His game is not gonna be at 100% this Sunday.

01:23:19Ray you pinned Edge just a couple of weeks ago to get into the match up at the rumble.

01:23:22Of course.

01:23:23So you're in his head.

01:23:24And perhaps it's CM Punk forcing Edge to lose his balance.

01:23:28Dig it.

01:23:29He's indeed doing whatever CM Punk can to keep this match going.

01:23:33And what's he gonna try here?

01:23:34Manninger's out from the top rope.

01:23:36CM Punk's that in Edge's shot.

01:23:37He's going to go to sleep.

01:23:38He's going to go to sleep.

01:23:39He's going to go to sleep.

01:23:39Perhaps from the top rope.

01:23:42An edge.

01:23:43Oh, and Puck still.

01:23:44He's still battling.

01:23:45Talking about the Hardin' Puck.

01:23:47Over the top spear.

01:23:49A spear from out of nowhere, here's the cover.

01:23:53One, two, three.

01:23:54An edge picks up the ring.

01:23:57An edge escapes.

01:23:59And the winner of this match, the World Heavyweight Champion is...

01:24:04Maybe with a victory tonight, or with a master manipulator.

01:24:08The ultimate opportunity...

01:24:09Tootis escapes with a win someday at the Rumble.

01:24:12You can throw out the...

01:24:14We're all family.

01:24:15You can throw it all out.

01:24:16It's one-on-one.

01:24:17Egg toe-to-toe with...

01:24:19And edge looks to be a position to retain the title.

01:24:22Or can the only...

01:24:23Let's go, boy!

01:24:24That underdog.

01:24:25Climb to the top of the mountain again.

01:24:27And win the World Championship!

01:24:29Sunday at the Rumble.

01:24:34It's been aunque you don't think of.

01:24:36Go?

01:24:37Go.

01:24:38I don't think you can catch you in the end!

01:24:42Go.

01:24:44Go.

01:24:45Go trees.

01:24:46Go!

01:24:48Go, Paul.

01:24:52Shout

01:24:58Go!

01:25:00Go,
