00:00:00Shane McMahon knocked out The Rock with the belt.
00:00:06Stone Cold retains the WWF title.
00:00:14The Rock has but one problem, and that problem is Shane McMahon.
00:00:19You better take your attitude out of my face if you smell what the boss is poking.
00:00:25The Rock is down.
00:00:25Shane McMahon's horrific traffic.
00:00:27Shane McMahon took it for a rock.
00:00:29The Rock says, tonight, you will come down and face a great one, one on one.
00:00:36You want me, Rock?
00:00:37You got it tonight.
00:00:38This may be one of these shorter matches in the Rock's career.
00:00:42It's the British Posse, he's got it.
00:00:44Rodney goes for a ride.
00:00:46The Rock's out of time for the Boy Wonder.
00:00:50Wait a minute, there's Hemsley.
00:00:51Where the hell did he come from?
00:00:52Hemsley the Rock.
00:00:53He got it.
00:00:54It is a hostile takeover to Corporation style on The Rock.
00:00:59Driving some way from my dad.
00:01:00Where to, Stephanie?
00:01:02Stephanie McMahon has been abducted by The Undertaker.
00:01:05How's Stephanie?
00:01:07She's real fine.
00:01:08I brought everything.
00:01:09You got controlling interest.
00:01:10You got it signed, sealed.
00:01:12Vince, I want Steve Austin to bring them to me.
00:01:15What?
00:01:16Alone.
00:01:17Vince McMahon needs Steve Austin.
00:01:19Stone Cold needs Vince McMahon to kiss his ass.
00:01:24The Undertaker and the Ministry have brought Stephanie McMahon to the ring struck to that symbol.
00:01:30I am not to blame for what is about to happen here.
00:01:36I now pronounce you as the unholy union of Godness.
00:01:41You may now kiss your bride.
00:01:45Here he comes, Stone Cold and The Undertaker going toe to toe.
00:01:49Austin fights for all he's got.
00:01:51The ceremony's over.
00:01:53He didn't do it for the love of Vince McMahon.
00:01:55He just did it because it was right.
00:01:57The Black Wedding has ended.
00:01:59Vince McMahon reunited with his daughter Stephanie thanks the Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:02:29The WWF returns to network television tonight and we're proud to be back.
00:02:55Hello everybody and welcome to WWF SmackDown.
00:03:00This place is jacked, the WWF fans are pumped here on UPN.
00:03:05Michael Cole, Jim Cornette, at ringside.
00:03:08Michael, it's gonna be a tremendous night tonight.
00:03:10Network television, the WWF, what a combination.
00:03:18Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Stephanie and Vince McMahon.
00:03:25He is the owner of the World Wrestling Federation.
00:03:30He's run this company for two decades.
00:03:34But what a hellish week it's been for Vince McMahon, flanked there by his young
00:03:39daughter, Stephanie McMahon.
00:03:41That's right, the abduction by The Undertaker.
00:03:45And the ordeal that Stephanie went through, the ordeal that Vince went through to
00:03:48finally get his daughter back in the fold.
00:03:50And you see the security still here just to make sure something like that doesn't happen again.
00:03:54Stone Cold Steve Austin staged Stephanie this past Monday night on Raw despite
00:03:59Austin's deep hatred for Vince McMahon, Stephanie's father.
00:04:03But as you can see, Vince McMahon very excited, elated, extremely happy tonight.
00:04:08I'm extremely proud to stand before you here tonight, and even more proud to be standing next to
00:04:18my daughter Stephanie.
00:04:19However, I'm proud a lot of my personal accomplishments, but not so proud of some of my business ones.
00:04:30And I'd like to address that.
00:04:35And you're right, I have been that.
00:04:39Yes, I have been that and hopefully, hopefully I can change.
00:04:46That has been me.
00:05:01In my business life, there's no question I have been ruthless, uncaring of others.
00:05:10In the past, certainly I've stepped on a lot of toes.
00:05:14I dare say I've even crushed a few and I've all done it in the name of business.
00:05:18And sometimes I've done it at the expense of my family.
00:05:24So I have an opportunity now to do something about that is tonight.
00:05:29I take the first step in regaining control of my own company.
00:05:35I know that I will certainly be competitive, no doubt.
00:05:40I'll be a competitive SOB as far as my company is concerned.
00:05:46But along the way in the future, I'm going to stop, smell the roses, and I'm going to thank
00:05:51those individuals who have helped me become the success that I am.
00:05:57And I'm going to start, by the way, with thanking tonight, not only the world's most
00:06:02dangerous man, but certainly a man who is at least that loyal.
00:06:07I'd like to thank Ken Shamrock for helping Stephanie.
00:06:12I'd like to thank as well.
00:06:15I'd like to thank The Big Show.
00:06:19I'd like to thank him and his heart that's every bit as big as his 500-pound body,
00:06:24again, for coming to the aid of Stephanie.
00:06:28And most especially, I would like to thank Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:06:36Whoa!
00:06:39You ever think you'd hear that?
00:06:40Never.
00:06:46I would also like to personally thank Ken Shamrock, The Big Show,
00:06:54and most importantly, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:06:57For helping me with The Undertaker on Monday night.
00:07:05I was taken against my will, stripped of my clothes, and dressed in a black gown for
00:07:21an unholy wedding, and I have never felt so powerless and violated in all my life.
00:07:29The Undertaker, he kept touching me.
00:07:35And whispering in my ears that I was his, and there was nothing I could do about it.
00:07:48So Steve, I'd just like to say, from the bottom of my heart and my soul,
00:07:55for whatever reason you did it.
00:08:00I will never forget what you did for me.
00:08:03And Undertaker, I hope you burn in hell.
00:08:09Strong words.
00:08:13Imagine what Stephanie McMahon had been through.
00:08:17So Stone Cold, I hope you can hear me, because tonight I'd like to make a promise.
00:08:22I'd like to make a promise to you, Stone Cold.
00:08:25I'd like, uh-oh.
00:08:30Family trouble brewing.
00:08:36That's Shane McMahon, co-owner of the WWF, and Vince's only son.
00:08:43He's on the stage with his Streamline Corporation.
00:08:47And Jim, it was just a few weeks ago that Shane McMahon rebuked his father.
00:08:52Humiliated Vince, seizing control of the corporation.
00:08:56While Vince was distracted by The Undertaker's threats to Stephanie.
00:08:59Shane McMahon has had it the way he's wanted it his entire life.
00:09:02He's had everything handed to him.
00:09:03The only thing he's ever taken on his own was his own father's company.
00:09:07And it looks like Vince wants that company back.
00:09:12Shane McMahon on a serious power trip in recent weeks.
00:09:16Triple H, Chyna, The Boss Man, and The Mean Street Posse here to beat Shane McMahon's backup, Michael.
00:09:25Yeah, The Mean Street Posse, punks from Greenwich, Connecticut, who grew up with Shane McMahon.
00:09:31Now at his side every step of the way.
00:09:33And the chance once reserved for Vince McMahon, now being thrown in the way of his son Shane.
00:09:47First of all, what are you doing here?
00:09:50You know what, never mind, I don't even wanna hear it.
00:09:53I have to address one thing.
00:09:55Last Monday night, when The Undertaker abducted Stephanie, do you not think that myself or
00:10:02the entire corporation would have been there for my own flesh and blood, my sister,
00:10:08if something bad were to have happened?
00:10:10Do you not think I would have been there for you?
00:10:13What type of human being do you think I am?
00:10:17What kind of a human being do I think you are, Shane?
00:10:21I think that- Shut your mouth.
00:10:23That's enough out of you, I don't even wanna hear it anymore.
00:10:28Total disrespect yet again.
00:10:34All of a sudden, Vince McMahon is out here apologizing for how you used to run business.
00:10:39What happened to the most ruthless tycoon in the history of the world?
00:10:42You all of a sudden grew a conscience overnight?
00:10:45And then it makes me sick to my stomach, I almost regurgitated in the back.
00:10:49You're out here thanking Stone Cold Steve Austin for saving your precious little
00:10:55daughter Stephanie, daddy's little girl.
00:10:59What a steal a line from Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:11:02You know what?
00:11:02As it relates to business, I don't give a rat's ass about daddy's little girl.
00:11:07I don't give a rat's ass about Stone Cold, and I don't give a rat's ass about you.
00:11:13What the hell has gotten into Shane?
00:11:16Power.
00:11:16Then maybe you should give a rat's ass about this.
00:11:23Whoa, I got this.
00:11:25Yo, yo, yo, yo.
00:11:25Back it up.
00:11:26Back it up.
00:11:27Hold on.
00:11:27Back it up.
00:11:28Hunter, China, I got this one.
00:11:29Just chill out for one second.
00:11:31Better step back.
00:11:35Matter of fact, you know what?
00:11:37You better get your attitude out of my face, Vince,
00:11:39before I slap the wrinkles out of yours.
00:11:42Come on.
00:11:45A son talking to a father like that.
00:11:47Now, you may leave and take your precious little daughter with you.
00:11:51Get to stepping.
00:11:52This is my show.
00:11:54I'm running things here.
00:11:55See ya.
00:11:59You know, one day, Shane, you may be a man.
00:12:03Tonight, you're acting like a petulant little boy.
00:12:11Well, let Wonder Boy show you to the door.
00:12:14That's it.
00:12:14Corporation escort them out.
00:12:16There you go.
00:12:17There it is.
00:12:20Let's get Vince and Stephanie, daddy's little girl, a big hand.
00:12:23Thank you very much for coming here this evening.
00:12:27Sayonara.
00:12:28You know what, Vince?
00:12:29You know what?
00:12:30Daddy's little girl, Steph?
00:12:32That's right.
00:12:33Go back.
00:12:33Get in your limo.
00:12:34You can be home in about 35 minutes and you can watch the rest of SmackDown on
00:12:39television.
00:12:41See you later.
00:12:42So sad.
00:12:43Too bad.
00:12:44Bye-bye.
00:12:46Adios.
00:12:47Sayonara.
00:12:50Stephanie hadn't been there.
00:12:51I think things may have been different.
00:12:54Vince staying above it all, warning his son he'll get his one day.
00:12:59And then taking Stephanie to leave the arena.
00:13:04And you hit it right.
00:13:06Jim, Shane McMahon is drunk with power, no doubt about it.
00:13:09Now that little nuisance is over.
00:13:12Let me get down to business right here this evening.
00:13:15You see, there have been two thorns in Shane McMahon's side as of late.
00:13:21Two people, matter of fact.
00:13:23And they're both tied for number one on Shane McMahon's hit list.
00:13:27And that is the so-called people's champ, The Rock, and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:13:44Now, since you both have had such a nice history together, since you can't get along at all, you
00:13:50want to tear each other's heads off.
00:13:52You know what?
00:13:52Tonight, in this very ring, Stone Cold Steve Austin will be teamed up with the Brahma Bull, The Rock.
00:14:02Whoa, no, that's never happened.
00:14:08Our rivals teaming up tonight.
00:14:10The only thing I need now is some opponents for Stone Cold and The Rock.
00:14:15Are there any volunteers?
00:14:22Yeah, of course, corporate sellout.
00:14:24Triple H, contestant number one to take on The Rock and Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
00:14:31Are there any more volunteers?
00:14:37The possible one in.
00:14:38Everybody's volunteering.
00:14:40Are there any takers?
00:14:45Wait a minute.
00:15:00That's the music of The Undertaker.
00:15:02Austin, this past month, you ruined a very special ceremony.
00:15:09I was only moments away from making Stephanie McMahon my bride and servant.
00:15:17You see, Austin, what you've done is stick your nose in a place where it had no business.
00:15:24Monday night, you played the role of the spoiler.
00:15:29Tonight, I'm going to play multiple roles.
00:15:34Judge.
00:15:36Jury.
00:15:37Execution.
00:15:40We'll be in the corner.
00:15:44The brahma bull, the rattlesnake, right here tonight on SmackDown against Triple H and
00:16:01The Undertaker.
00:16:02What?
00:16:03Can you feel that power?
00:16:06Can you feel the power of Shane McMahon?
00:16:15And why does this all happen?
00:16:18Because Shane McMahon said so.
00:16:21What a shocker, Jeff.
00:16:25How in the world did Shane pull this off?
00:16:27How did he manage this one?
00:16:28I don't know that he has pulled it off.
00:16:31I think The Undertaker's the guy that calls his own shots.
00:16:33I don't know what's going on.
00:16:36Hello again, everybody, and welcome to SmackDown.
00:16:38Thanks for joining us, Michael Cole, Jim Cornette at ringside.
00:16:41And I'll tell you, it may be one of the biggest tag team matches in the history of the WWF.
00:16:46The Rock and Stone Cold, arch enemies on one side against Triple H and The Undertaker.
00:16:52Well, that's right, but you talk about tag team action, there's gonna be some more tag team action.
00:16:56The New Age Outlaws have earned the right to face Kane and X-Pac for the WWF Tag Team Titles.
00:17:01Members of DX once again on opposing teams will friendship for the gold prevail.
00:17:07Plus the corporate enforcer, the big boss man in action tonight against one of the most
00:17:11deranged individuals in the history of the WWF, Mankind.
00:17:15And also, as a result of last Monday's Donnybrook, the world's most dangerous man,
00:17:20former UFC champion Ken Shamrock, is gonna face Bradshaw of the Acolytes
00:17:25in a street fight.
00:17:26Anything goes, no hold guard.
00:17:29I'll tell you what, that will not be for the weak.
00:17:31Where the hell is he?
00:17:32He knows he's got a match now.
00:17:34Did you change the world's message?
00:17:35Maybe, I don't know.
00:17:36It's not like you have to show up.
00:17:39The WWF needs a superhero, and I'm here to bring him one.
00:17:43Woo!
00:17:45That's the blue blazer.
00:17:46Hello, ladies.
00:17:47Woo!
00:18:03He's the former Intercontinental Champion, and
00:18:07alleged former adult film star, Val Venus on his way to the ring, who Jim has spent more time in recent days,
00:18:14the six foot 240 pound bodyguard for the WWF Women's Champion, Sable.
00:18:23Well, that's right, Michael.
00:18:24As much as Val Venus is noted for having an eye for the ladies,
00:18:28in this case, Nicole Bass has proved she's got an eye for Val.
00:18:32Nicole saved Val Venus in a recent match, and now where Val goes,
00:18:37Nicole has followed, even if her romantic advances haven't been welcomed by the Big
00:18:42Val Boski.
00:18:43The Big Val Boski in recent weeks, you saw this past week on Raw and USA,
00:18:48had her eyes on Deborah, when Nicole Bass once again came down with her eyes set on Val Venus.
00:18:55Hello, ladies.
00:18:58Ladies, tonight,
00:19:04I would like to invite each and every single one of you to invest in the Big
00:19:10about Boski's mutual fund.
00:19:14You see, it's always up more than it's down, and I can guarantee you with this fund,
00:19:21there will never be an early withdrawal.
00:19:26He's one of a kind.
00:19:27Well, speaking of one of a kind, we're gonna head toward two of a kind.
00:19:32Jeff Jarrett and the lovely Deborah.
00:19:36Now, this is interesting, Jim, because Jeff Jarrett's tag team partner, Owen Hart,
00:19:44was actually scheduled to take on Val Venus in this matchup.
00:19:48Jeff Jarrett heading down to the ring here.
00:19:50Jeff's a former Intercontinental and tag team champion.
00:19:53But does Deborah, we don't know her relationship with Jeff Jarrett, but
00:19:57has Deborah had eyes for Val in recent weeks?
00:20:00Well, Deborah has definitely had, I guess, a mutual attraction going on between Val
00:20:06Venus and Deborah, because they've been giving each other the eye.
00:20:09But I'll tell you this, I know one fact, Jeff Jarrett is not too crazy about any
00:20:13potential relationship between Deborah and the Big Val Boski.
00:20:18He pulls her away every time, Michael.
00:20:19You watch Val Venus in the corner, obviously smitten with Deborah.
00:20:24Val, I don't know where the hell Owen's at, and it me off.
00:20:31But tonight, you consider me his replacement.
00:20:34Ring the damn bell.
00:20:37So here we go now, Jeff Jarrett to take on, wait a minute.
00:20:41Jarrett to take on Val Venus and from behind, that's a blue blazer.
00:20:45It's a blue blazer attacking Val Venus from behind.
00:20:48Michael, you know as well as I do, that's Owen Hart under that mask.
00:20:51The blue blazer is Owen Hart's bizarre alter ego that he adopts from time to time when he
00:20:57wants to drive everybody crazy.
00:20:59Owen Hart first came into the WWF as the blue blazer.
00:21:03And now Owen Hart obviously donning the mask once again.
00:21:06Val Venus in trouble, blue blazer to the top rope, Venus up quickly.
00:21:10Here comes Blazer with a drop kick to the chin.
00:21:12Well, Debra cheering on both her men here, Debra, she seems to enjoy any attention that
00:21:19she gets from any man as long as she's in the center of the spotlight.
00:21:22Glad you could join us for SmackDown here on UPN.
00:21:26We heard the huge news of that big tag team matchup tonight.
00:21:29The Undertaker and Triple H against Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock.
00:21:34And that's something that Austin and The Rock obviously have never teamed up.
00:21:38They've had wars against each other and this tag team has never taken place.
00:21:42And I'm not sure it still will because after all, these guys are gonna have to
00:21:45literally be forced by Shane McMahon to do that.
00:21:47Now Val Venus in control of the blue blazer.
00:21:49We talked about Debra's apparent eyes for Val Venus.
00:21:52But Debra had some problems with The Godfather this past Monday night.
00:21:55Well, Godfather defeated Jeff Jarrett last Monday and
00:21:58basically won Debra's services to be one of his ladies.
00:22:02But Owen and Jeff hustled around the building before that could take place.
00:22:05Val Venus now in control, Blazer ripped into the corner.
00:22:07Val follows it up with another forearm.
00:22:09And Val Venus, great young athlete,
00:22:12whips the blue blazer into the corner and catches him with an elbow.
00:22:15You know, I gotta wonder if Owen is the blue blazer,
00:22:17why doesn't Jeff wrestle as the tweed sport coat, Michael?
00:22:20Val Venus in control, the blue blazer here, folks, center of the ring.
00:22:23Also to come tonight, tag team titles on the line.
00:22:26X-Pac and Kane to take on the New Age Outlaws.
00:22:29And Val Venus now tremendous suplex on the blue blazer as Debra looks on with concern.
00:22:35Beautiful vertical suplex and finally get the blue blazer separated from that cape.
00:22:42And that separated him maybe from consciousness, but what?
00:22:45Wait a minute.
00:22:46Debra on the apron.
00:22:47Debra, separate yourself from the rest of your clothing.
00:22:52And Val Venus liking what he sees.
00:22:54Doesn't let it distract him long enough though.
00:22:56Kick to the midsection.
00:22:58In Val's line of work, he's seen those before.
00:23:00But he's got the bridge.
00:23:03And Jeff Jarrett with a low blow behind the referee's back.
00:23:06Referee never saw it.
00:23:08The blue blazer now with the cover.
00:23:10And this one's over.
00:23:11Give the assist to Jeff Jarrett and Debra.
00:23:13Here's your winner, the blue blazer.
00:23:17Well, Debra's often noted for showing her charms to distract her men's opponents.
00:23:21But when it doesn't work, then Jeff Jarrett's always there to lend a helping hand.
00:23:25Wait a minute.
00:23:26And here comes Nicole Bass, who still says Val Venus Ozer won for
00:23:31what happened on Sunday Night Heat this past Sunday night.
00:23:34Ozer won what?
00:23:36Well, Nicole watched some of Val.
00:23:39And Val Venus, he is fed up with running from this woman, but
00:23:43that's preferable to anything I can think of.
00:23:47Nicole Bass saying, you owe me.
00:23:49She's 6'4", 240 pounds, hired as a bodyguard for the WWF Women's Champion, Sable.
00:23:55Look at the expression on Val's face.
00:23:58He's gonna head for the hills in a double hurry.
00:24:01She is totally smitten with Val Venus.
00:24:04And Val making his way out of here in a fast way.
00:24:10Blue Blazer picks up the victory.
00:24:13An upset if you wanna get into it over Val Venus.
00:24:16But the big story here, Nicole Bass and Val Venus, they may be headed to the altar,
00:24:21whether Val likes it or not.
00:24:22What?
00:24:27Wait a minute.
00:24:29The Godfather is coming to collect.
00:24:32He's coming to claim his property.
00:24:35Well, we mentioned that match stipulation was held.
00:24:38When Godfather defeated Jeff Jarrett, Jabra was supposed to work as one of Godfather's ladies.
00:24:44She hasn't done that yet.
00:24:46And the Godfather now into the ring, takes out the blue blazer, takes out Jeff Jarrett.
00:24:52And if Debra's not careful here, she may be heading home with the Godfather.
00:24:57Well, you know, she didn't seem to be the one to have the problem with it the other night.
00:25:00And look at that face.
00:25:02Jeff Jarrett, no one hurt, they had the problem.
00:25:05The Godfather's saying, Debra, come aboard the choo-choo.
00:25:09A clip, a block right from the back of the knee of the Godfather.
00:25:14Spin kick, Michael.
00:25:15These guys have finally gotten the big Godfather down.
00:25:18Blue Blazer and Jeff Jarrett now double teaming the Godfather.
00:25:21Godfather in a two-on-one situation here.
00:25:24Blazer with an elbow to the back after that leg sweep by Jeff Jarrett.
00:25:28And now Jarrett and Owen Hart, forget the blue blazer.
00:25:31Well, this is not a tag team match.
00:25:32This isn't even a match, much less a tag team match.
00:25:34It's two-on-one.
00:25:35The Godfather came to collect what's rightfully his.
00:25:38And these guys have abused him and used him.
00:25:41Well, the Godfather's not gonna get what's rightfully his.
00:25:44Debra's going back with Owen Hart, the blue blazer, and Jeff Jarrett.
00:25:49If I know the Godfather as well as I do, there will be another day.
00:25:52There'll be something else to say about this.
00:25:54He does not let things, uh-oh.
00:25:56The Rock.
00:25:58The Rattlesnaker just rubbed elbows all of a sudden.
00:26:02The old Rattlesnaker getting a little bit of electricity, I'll tell you what.
00:26:06See, The Rock is just gonna have to make a whole bunch of candy asses famous tonight again.
00:26:10Nothing changes.
00:26:11Later on tonight, Rock teams with Stone Cold.
00:26:15Well, blue blazer, it's been a while since we've seen you here in the WWF.
00:26:19To what do we owe the honor?
00:26:21Well, Kevin, it's quite simple.
00:26:23The blue blazer is back in the WWF because the WWF needs the blue blazer back.
00:26:28Needed for what, Owen?
00:26:30Owen?
00:26:31I'm not Owen.
00:26:32Where is Owen?
00:26:33I'm looking for Owen Hart too.
00:26:34Where is he?
00:26:36Anyway, the conditions here in the WWF have become deplorable.
00:26:40There's too much cleavage.
00:26:44And that Val, I can't even say his last name, but you know what it rhymes with.
00:26:50I can't even say it.
00:26:51But he's deplorable.
00:26:53Everything is deplorable here in the WWF.
00:26:55But why you?
00:26:57Why me?
00:26:58Because the WWF needs a superhero like the blue blazer.
00:27:02One that can protect good from evil.
00:27:06And one last thing in closing to all my little blue blazers.
00:27:10Take your vitamins, say your prayers, and drink your milk.
00:27:15Woo!
00:27:16Well, that is the big show.
00:27:23What an ovation.
00:27:25He is seven feet tall, 500 pounds.
00:27:38The most coveted free agent in the history of sports entertainment.
00:27:41He's just 27 years old.
00:27:44And the big show has already made a tremendous mark in the WWF.
00:27:49Michael, it's been well documented.
00:27:50He's the world's largest professional athlete.
00:27:53But how many human beings at all do you know bigger than this man?
00:27:57He wears a size 20 ring.
00:28:00You can pass a silver dollar through the ring he wears on his ring finger.
00:28:05And the big show this past Sunday night at Backlash involved in a Boiler Room
00:28:10Raw with Mankind, and what a matchup.
00:28:14This is a dance.
00:28:18And his opponent, he weighs in at 282 pounds, Tess.
00:28:24And here comes Tess, a victim of Shane McMahon's corporate takeover.
00:28:29No longer a member of the corporation.
00:28:31He was tossed out after an altercation on Raw on USA this past Monday with the Big Boss Man.
00:28:38Well, yeah, that's right.
00:28:39Tess was downsized.
00:28:40He was tired of being the corporation's whipping boy.
00:28:42And when Boss Man blamed him for a mistake that Boss Man made, Tess being the man that he is,
00:28:48stood up to the Boss Man face to face, said enough.
00:28:51And then it happened.
00:28:52He struck back, and the Boss Man took it from there.
00:28:55Hey, Jim, it had been brewing for weeks.
00:28:57Shane McMahon said he was going to streamline.
00:28:59He was going to, in his words, weed out who he felt didn't belong.
00:29:04And obviously, Tess wasn't part of us, Shane McMahon's plans.
00:29:07Well, I don't know whether it might not have been Tess's own idea to say, I've had enough of this.
00:29:11But leaving the corporation is kind of like leaving the mob.
00:29:14You encounter some resistance on the way out.
00:29:16A big test for a tremendous young athlete and Tess, and here comes the Big Boss Man.
00:29:21Out to ringside as Tess now hammers away on the 500-pound Big Show.
00:29:25Folks, we've just received information that Vince and
00:29:28Stephanie McMahon have apparently left the building in disgust.
00:29:32My, a drop kick from the seven-footer.
00:29:36Did you see him get up in the air?
00:29:38Can you believe that?
00:29:39The agility of a man seven feet tall, over 500 pounds in 20 years in this sport.
00:29:44I have never seen a man like that drop kick.
00:29:47Look at this now, Tess up high, going for the ride, tongue slam.
00:29:52Here's the cover now, and the showstopper.
00:29:55Touch Tess down for the count, what a victory for the Big Show.
00:29:58But wait a minute, wait a minute, the Big Boss Man, there has been problems here as well.
00:30:05Boss Man, no love for Tess, but is he trying to back the Big Show down?
00:30:12The Big Show's seven foot 500, a Boss Man's no small individual.
00:30:16He's six foot six, 330 pounds.
00:30:18It makes you basically wonder what's in the water with all these guys in the ring.
00:30:22And now the Boss Man, a vulture, gonna go after the pickings to see him wielding that
00:30:30knife stick, the former corrections officer, to the head of Tess.
00:30:36Well, that's what you call serving hard time, Michael.
00:30:38That's what the Big Boss Man calls it.
00:30:40He was a prison guard at the Cobb County Correctional List of Georgia.
00:30:44Big Show's back, the Big Show's back, and the Big Boss Man flies out of the ring.
00:30:49Watch it, they're coming over this way, Big Show.
00:30:54Obviously, the Boss Man still hasn't settled his issue with Tess, and
00:30:58the Big Show coming to run the Big Boss Man off.
00:31:00Something similar to the action we saw to Steve Austin,
00:31:03he didn't do it cuz he loves the man, he just did it cuz it was the right thing to do.
00:31:06I gotta worry for it, come on, Boss Man.
00:31:08Take a lick of this replay, this drop kick, Jim Cornette.
00:31:12I have never seen anything like this in my life, from a man that huge to go that high in the air.
00:31:18The impact had to be crushing, and then the one-armed chokeslam on a 282-pound man,
00:31:24that spelled the end.
00:31:26The showstopper for the Big Show, and what a tremendous victory.
00:31:29And folks, we got perhaps one of the greatest tag team matches in the history of the WWF coming up tonight.
00:31:34You smell what the line is.
00:31:35Well, this is one thing we do not have on our formats.
00:31:43Later tonight, that man The Rock will team with Stone Cold Steve Austin to take on Triple H and
00:31:55The Undertaker.
00:31:57The Rock, a former WWF champion, a three-time champion.
00:32:01And Jim at 26 years old, the future of sports entertainment.
00:32:06Well, he is the most electrified man that I can think of in this industry.
00:32:11He is also the most charismatic at this point.
00:32:14He has a large following and an equally large number of enemies.
00:32:18The Rock joined the corporation for fame, for power, for money.
00:32:25But Shane McMahon excommunicated The Rock this past Monday night.
00:32:29And as for the big matchup tonight, when The Rock will team with Stone Cold,
00:32:33don't expect cohesion.
00:32:34Don't expect a tremendous team tonight.
00:32:37Well, you know, I always knew this guy could do it on his own.
00:32:39He's got the ability, he's got the tools.
00:32:41He took the corporate shortcut.
00:32:43But he has seen that the corporation got more out of him than he got out of them.
00:32:57Shane McMahon, Triple H, last Monday on Raw, you two jabronis decided to check both your candy asses in to the SmackDown Hotel.
00:33:09So you go on and let the great one be the first one to break the bad news to you two, Rudy Poo.
00:33:22Like The Rock was saying,
00:33:31let him be the first one to break the bad news to you two, Rudy Poo Candy Ass.
00:33:39That you damn sure checked in, you two will damn sure check out.
00:33:46But you don't check out without a little departing gift from The Rock,
00:33:50which is his fist in your mouth and his foot in your ass.
00:33:55Well, that's different than a mint on your pillow.
00:33:58Now, as far as for you, Stone Cold Steve Austin, you and The Rock tonight,
00:34:09tag team, make no mistake about it, you damn right, we'll fight the fight.
00:34:14But we ain't partners, we ain't buddies, and we damn sure ain't friends.
00:34:20So if you so much tonight get in The Rock's way, this Brahma Bull will dip his head,
00:34:25take his horns, and stick them straight up your ass.
00:34:28He's the WWF champion, the Texas Rattlesnake.
00:34:45He has no friends, he lives by the motto, don't trust anybody.
00:34:49But tonight, he's gonna be partnered with the man he defeated at WrestleMania in
00:34:54Backlash, The Rock and Ken, they get along.
00:34:58Well, I think that he just gave The Rock a little gesture as an answer.
00:35:03Michael, I don't see how these two can even share the same ring together,
00:35:07much less be in the same corner.
00:35:09The electricity in this place is off the page.
00:35:20Anyone who has witnessed the wars that these two men have fought at WrestleMania,
00:35:25at Backlash, the only thing that they have in common.
00:35:28They are both tremendous athletes and fierce competitors and they are bitter rivals at that.
00:35:39Let me come out here and get this straight right off the bat.
00:35:46Last week and tonight, you come out here talking all your trash about Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:35:52I'll tell you this, you will always be, in my eyes, some punk kid running around out here,
00:35:59spitting out nursery rhymes.
00:36:05Saying what you're gonna do.
00:36:07Turn your little horn sideways because you're the Brahma Bull.
00:36:11Stone Cold Steve Austin will knock him stupid horns right off your head.
00:36:17Wipe your ass.
00:36:18Put you on a barbecue grill.
00:36:20And that's all I got to say about that.
00:36:22We got company.
00:36:29No chance.
00:36:30That's what you got.
00:36:32It's Shane McMahon.
00:36:34Shane McMahon, this matchup earlier tonight Brock Austin against Triple H and The Undertaker.
00:36:44Isn't that cute?
00:36:46Look at the two of you.
00:36:47You can't get along.
00:36:49You wanna tear each other's heads off.
00:36:51You make each other sick to their stomachs.
00:36:53And you know what?
00:36:54That is absolutely perfect.
00:36:57Do you know why?
00:36:59Because my plan is getting bigger and better as we speak.
00:37:05Wait a minute.
00:37:10That's The Undertaker's music again.
00:37:20Somebody's gonna be in trouble.
00:37:22I just don't know who.
00:37:23The beat of The Undertaker.
00:37:25He's standing side by side with Shane McMahon.
00:37:31Shane McMahon is standing side by side with The Undertaker, the man that abducted his sister.
00:37:36Are you beginning to understand?
00:37:38Are you beginning to feel the power?
00:37:41Well, let me help spell it out for you just a little bit more.
00:37:47The Undertaker and Shane McMahon standing side by side.
00:37:51Wait a minute.
00:37:52There's Triple H, Paul Bearer.
00:37:55It's The Corporation and The Ministry of Darkness.
00:38:00My God, Michael, if they join forces.
00:38:03What the hell is going on?
00:38:07What does this mean?
00:38:08What has Shane engineered here?
00:38:11What has Shane manipulated inside?
00:38:13It's a merger from hell.
00:38:14The Corporation and Ministry standing together as one on stage.
00:38:19Austin, Rock, let me be the first to introduce you to The Corporate Ministry.
00:38:28My God.
00:38:29And you guys better get it together and change your strategy.
00:38:36The Undertaker and Shane have joined together.
00:38:40With The Corporation and The Ministry together, what power on Earth, human or other, can stop them?
00:38:46The odds are stacked against The Rock and Stone Cold tonight.
00:38:49X-Pac, Kane, tonight you defend the tag team titles against the New Age Outlaws.
00:38:55But let's go back first to last Monday night, X-Pac, because you two definitely had some problems.
00:38:59Immediately following Kane's being victimized by the bloodbath from The Brood,
00:39:04as we take a look at some footage from last Monday, you'll see once again,
00:39:08Kane, instead of turning his anger and attention towards The Brood, turned it towards you.
00:39:13Grabbing you by the throat and surprising everybody by chokeslamming you over a wall.
00:39:17Then X-Pac, you look to settle things throughout the night,
00:39:20finally calling out Kane towards the end of the evening, wanting answers about where you stood.
00:39:24For that question, you receive once again a chokeslam from your tag team partner.
00:39:29So in light of the, well, the obvious differences that you two are having,
00:39:33plus the fact that you're taking on fellow DXers, the New Age Outlaws,
00:39:37is your loyalty torn tonight in this tag team match?
00:39:40So what do you ask me, Kevin?
00:39:41If it's gonna be unpredictable out there tonight?
00:39:44Well, that's how he seems to like things.
00:39:46You want things unpredictable?
00:39:48That's what you're gonna get.
00:39:53X-Pac and Kane to defend the tag team titles later on tonight on SmackDown.
00:39:58But, Jim, what a shocker.
00:40:00Shane McMahon and The Undertaker just moments ago unveiling the corporate ministry.
00:40:05The merger from hell, and I don't know what power on earth can prevent
00:40:09these guys from taking over the WWF.
00:40:11The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:40:14Making its way to the ring, accompanied by Prince Alvarez,
00:40:17from Mays Landing, New Jersey.
00:40:19Weighing in at 275 pounds, Draw.
00:40:24And there you see Draws in the hat, the former NFL player, rude,
00:40:27crude, tattooed and full of attitude.
00:40:30But what about Prince Alvarez?
00:40:31There you see him talking to the referee, Draws is a personal tattoo artist and pierced it.
00:40:37Well, we first saw him a few weeks ago, and he's made some noise.
00:40:40Going into the ring by Ivory, from Chicago, Illinois.
00:40:44Weighing in at 265 pounds, D'Lo Brown.
00:40:49I don't know whether Ivory's gonna be enough backup for D'Lo Brown to cataract Prince Alvarez.
00:40:53Remember, we first saw Prince Albert a couple of weeks ago, when he came to avenge the fact
00:40:57that Draws' nose ring had been ripped out by the big boss man.
00:41:01That was Prince Albert's handiwork being messed with, and he didn't appreciate it.
00:41:05So it's D'Lo Brown versus Draws, and folks immediately following this matchup,
00:41:09WWF Women's Champion Sable goes Hollywood.
00:41:13And Jim, she's been a very busy lady as of late.
00:41:15Well, she's been on the cover of Playboy, Field and Stream, she's been everywhere.
00:41:21I mean, my God, and it's gone to her head, too.
00:41:23We're gonna take a look at Sable and Hollywood coming up following this matchup,
00:41:26and here's Roz now whipping D'Lo into the corner, a nice shoulder takedown by D'Lo Brown.
00:41:31D'Lo Brown, a former European champion, he doesn't get the respect that he deserves for
00:41:35the WWF or the fans, in my opinion, for the all-around talent that he has.
00:41:39He has got it all.
00:41:40You're watching WWF SmackDown on UPN, and folks, we are shocked.
00:41:44How cold, how callous, how calculated is Shane McMahon?
00:41:49Jim, was Shane and The Undertaker involved in this plot all along?
00:41:53I don't know.
00:41:53How long have they been in cahoots?
00:41:55Is this something that just happened a day?
00:41:57Did it happen before The Undertaker abducted Stephanie, or are they in cahoots?
00:42:01Or is one playing the other one for a fool?
00:42:04So many questions, so few answers.
00:42:06What a slam by draws, the 285 pounder.
00:42:08I've got to know, how are Stephanie and Vince McMahon going to react to this?
00:42:14We told you earlier on, they apparently left the building in disgust a few moments ago.
00:42:18Well, when you've got a father talked to that way by his son, he had to be embarrassed.
00:42:23All time.
00:42:24Set out, powerbombed by D'Lo Brown with authority on draws.
00:42:28D'Lo Brown now in control, the Shane and Undertaker, have they been in cahoots?
00:42:33And if so, did Shane McMahon know anything about the abduction of Stephanie, his own sister?
00:42:38I don't know, all I know is that if Vince did leave and take Stephanie home,
00:42:42that's probably where she's safest.
00:42:43But when he hears about what has gone on,
00:42:46Vince McMahon will blow every gasket in his brain.
00:42:49What a clothesline by draws.
00:42:51Folks, still to come tonight.
00:42:53Perhaps one of the greatest tag team matches in the history of the WWF.
00:42:57Rock and Austin, can they get along against Triple H and The Undertaker?
00:43:02Great athletic ability by draws, but D'Lo caught him with a kick to the face.
00:43:05I'll tell you, D'Lo's no slouch either.
00:43:07And you talk about tag team championships, D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry,
00:43:10a tremendous tag team, had hoped to be the tag team champions.
00:43:13But that's been, those hopes have been on hold since Mark Henry's been sidelined
00:43:18with double knee surgery for the past few months.
00:43:21Draws now, finger to the eye, now a right hand to the face of D'Lo Brown.
00:43:25Draws former NFL football player.
00:43:27And look at D'Lo now sky high, caught him, draws is in trouble.
00:43:31Another one of those innovative maneuvers that a man the size of D'Lo Brown,
00:43:35you would not expect him to be able to execute.
00:43:37D'Lo Brown, near 300 pounder, was going for the lowdown.
00:43:41And Prince Albert with the referee's back turn, tossed D'Lo off the top rope.
00:43:44That frog splash that D'Lo Brown calls the lowdown generally spells the end for
00:43:49any victim that it lands on.
00:43:51But in this case, Prince Albert stalled that off.
00:43:53You see the spark plug ivory cheering D'Lo Brown on, outside the ring.
00:43:57Draws now in control.
00:43:59Look at Prince Albert on the apron now.
00:44:01Reversal, draws into Prince Albert, knocks him down.
00:44:04Inadvert malfunction at the junction, D'Lo Brown still weebling and wobbling from being
00:44:08pushed off that top rope, but he flies.
00:44:11Wow, D'Lo took out both men over the top rope.
00:44:15Tremendous athlete, this D'Lo Brown near 300 pounder.
00:44:19And when you're that size and you take that kind of risk from that height,
00:44:23it could be an all or nothing proposition.
00:44:25In this case, he got it all.
00:44:26D'Lo Brown, certified public accountant, a CPA, been in this business just about four
00:44:31years now, has made tremendous strides.
00:44:33Gonna climb the top rope and again, Prince Albert in the ring, right hand of the gut
00:44:36of D'Lo Brown.
00:44:37D'Lo gonna fly, there's the bell for this qualification.
00:44:40He's pressed him.
00:44:41Wow.
00:44:43He pressed him and slammed D'Lo Brown.
00:44:48Prince Albert, we have got another handicap match situation with Prince Albert
00:44:53the personal tattooist and piercest or whatever of Dross.
00:44:56Well, Ivery just took off up the ramp.
00:44:58What in the world?
00:45:00Well, you know what?
00:45:01They look like those piercing tools.
00:45:03Prince Albert is getting in a briefcase and he has got, my God,
00:45:07that needle's gotta be a foot long.
00:45:09We told you Prince Albert, the personal piercest and tattooist of Dross.
00:45:14He's got his, he's got his tongue, he's got his tongue.
00:45:17Wait a minute, wait a minute, Jim.
00:45:18Here comes sexual talk, D'Lo Brown, tag team partner Mark Henry, and a right hand of Prince Albert.
00:45:25Mark Henry, the world's strongest man, he competed for the United States in the Olympics
00:45:29in weightlifting.
00:45:30He is D'Lo Brown's partner, and as you can see, he's back in action.
00:45:35Mark Henry is back, helping out his partner D'Lo Brown.
00:45:39And I think Prince Albert was just about to put a piercing in the tongue of D'Lo.
00:45:43Well, I'll tell you instead,
00:45:45Aubrey ran for the hills to get Mark Henry.
00:45:48He played the seventh cavalry, and the family is reunited again.
00:45:52Sexual chocolate saves the day for D'Lo Brown and his tag team.
00:45:58Obviously back together again.
00:46:00New Age Outlaws, your tag team title match is next.
00:46:11But do you feel awkward at all taking on your good friend X-Pac?
00:46:15Well, Double K, as you know, and everybody else knows that from our nose to our toes,
00:46:20we got champs written all over us.
00:46:23But by cracky, it may get a little wacky because X-Pac is a close and personal friend of mine.
00:46:28Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:31Friends, friends?
00:46:34There's no friends when it comes to these titles, man.
00:46:36Get your head on.
00:46:37Would you?
00:46:39Billy.
00:46:41Make some noise!
00:46:44You think you can tell us what to do?
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:47You think you can tell us what to win?
00:46:50You think you better?
00:46:51Yeah.
00:46:51Well, you better get ready to bow to the master.
00:46:55So you're kidding?
00:46:56It's just something new.
00:46:57I just got time.
00:46:58Tremendous ovation for a tremendous athlete.
00:47:02He's won after the tag team champions.
00:47:05Here comes X-Pac.
00:47:07The world's best for the tag team champions.
00:47:15In the ring for man with Minnesota, weighing in at 22 pounds.
00:47:20He goes back.
00:47:21I'll tell you something, Michael.
00:47:22This kid's courage is his strongest asset.
00:47:26He doesn't know he's the smallest dog in the fight.
00:47:28You can't convince him otherwise.
00:47:30But tonight, X-Pac is gonna take on long time friends.
00:47:34Badass Billy Gunner, The Roof Dog, The New Age Outlaws.
00:47:37All of the members of Degeneration X, the wild card of this one is Kane.
00:47:43And speaking of which, buckle up.
00:47:47Michael, I'll tell you, X-Pac and Kane, an unlikely team, X-Pac has been the only person in the
00:47:50WWF to truly befriend Kane, but the Big Red Machine works on instinct.
00:47:55And here comes X-Pac's partner.
00:48:02He weighs in on 326 pounds, Kane.
00:48:11Michael, I'll tell you, X-Pac and Kane, an unlikely team.
00:48:14X-Pac has been the only person in the WWF to truly befriend Kane.
00:48:18But the Big Red Machine works on instinct.
00:48:21He doesn't know how to trust anybody, and sometimes he will lash out,
00:48:24even at his own partner.
00:48:25And Kane has trusted very few people in his life, and
00:48:28the people who he hasn't trusted have turned their backs on him.
00:48:32They stabbed him in the back.
00:48:34And we've seen in recent weeks that Kane still cannot apparently bring himself
00:48:39to trust that man, his tag team partner, X-Pac.
00:48:42Well, Kane, a tragic figure, the younger brother of The Undertaker,
00:48:45he was horribly scarred in a fire when he was a child.
00:48:48He was raised without guidance.
00:48:50Doesn't really know right from wrong, and out to go.
00:48:54And he is a dangerous, dangerous individual.
00:49:01Perhaps the most destructive force in the World Wrestling Federation.
00:49:04You didn't know.
00:49:07You're after a call, somebody.
00:49:12They've been tag team champions on a number of occasions.
00:49:21They're fun, they're colorful, they're great athletes.
00:49:25Wait a minute, take a look at what's going on here.
00:49:27It's Billy Hilly.
00:49:28Billy's all business.
00:49:29It's at the O-double-G.
00:49:33He took off and left Road Dog.
00:49:36The O-double, the O-double, Crooked Letter.
00:49:39The Road Dog and Badass Billy Gunn to take on their friend and DX member,
00:49:48X-Pac, along with Kane, for the tag team titles.
00:49:52Welcome to my dog house, where the outlaws always kick it doggy style.
00:50:04Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages,
00:50:09Degeneration X proudly brings to you, it's soon to be,
00:50:13WWF Tag Team Champions of the World.
00:50:20The Road Dog, Jesse James, the Badass Billy Gunn, the New Age Outlaws.
00:50:28Well, usually Billy Gunn will follow this up with some words of his own.
00:50:36But he just told Road Dogg none of that.
00:50:37And as we saw in the interview, Jim, Billy Gunn, all business tonight.
00:50:41He said it's about winning those Tag Team Championship belts right there.
00:50:45Well, the Outlaws have been there.
00:50:47They've been to the top of the mountain.
00:50:48They've held the gold on several different occasions.
00:50:50And they're so anxious to regain that, that they're willing to face a friend to do it.
00:50:54And I think Mr. Ass a little more willing than Road Dogg to face a friend.
00:51:00The New Age Outlaws won this tag title shot by defeating Jeff Jarrett Noe and
00:51:03Hart at Backlash this past Sunday night.
00:51:05And now with X-Pac going to work with a side headlock on the Road Dogg.
00:51:09This should be a fast, exciting matchup.
00:51:12Well, no one knows X-Pac and his style better than do the New Age Outlaws.
00:51:17And they know there's no quitting the kid.
00:51:18But also, they know his weak points as well, including the fact he's had neck surgery,
00:51:22Michael, and he is susceptible to neck injury.
00:51:25What a spinning heel kick by X-Pac, caught Road Dogg under the chin.
00:51:29This is the first in what will be two tremendous tag team matches.
00:51:32A bit later on tonight, Shane McMahon set it up.
00:51:35The Rock will team with Stone Cold Steve Austin against The Undertaker and Triple H.
00:51:40And we just saw the unveiling of the corporate ministry.
00:51:44And I am just afraid to think what's gonna happen next with the corporation and
00:51:48the ministry having joined forces.
00:51:50That could be an unstoppable combination.
00:51:53Little too much hot dogging, but X-Pac missed with a kick.
00:51:55And Road Dogg caught him in the right hand.
00:51:58These two great friends from D-Generation X battling out now for
00:52:01the WWF Tag Team Titles.
00:52:04And a little bit of show of solidarity there.
00:52:06A little mutual respect, I think, more than solidarity, Michael.
00:52:10That's the DX salute as Billy Gunn now comes into the ring, and
00:52:14he shoves X-Pac into the corner.
00:52:15Wait a minute, look, Kane just snatched X-Pac by the hair and forced the tag.
00:52:20Kane, this guy barely shows a trace of human emotion.
00:52:26There's gotta be some way to reach him, but his soul is buried so deep down, Michael.
00:52:30Well, can you blame him, everything he's been through in his life?
00:52:33Billy Gunn now backs the near seven footer into the corner, hammers away with right hands.
00:52:37And pound for pound, Billy Gunn may indeed be the best pure athlete in the WWF.
00:52:42But Kane is manhandling him as he tosses him into the corner.
00:52:45Well, unfortunately, pound for pound, Kane's doing most of the pounding right now.
00:52:50Kane went out for the Tag Team Champions,
00:52:52rips Billy Gunn into the corner and just knocks him down with a clothesline.
00:52:55My, what a leg drop.
00:53:00I'll venture to say, Jim, as Kane now goes for the cover, first one of the matchup,
00:53:04and Billy Gunn gets the shoulder up, that Kane and X-Pac may be the most unique and
00:53:08one of the most explosive tag teams in the history of the WWF.
00:53:11And we expect X-Pac to be explosive, but Kane is so explosive,
00:53:15the elevation you just saw in the leg drop, tremendous athletic maneuver.
00:53:19And now he just sends Mr. S upside down and flat on his face.
00:53:23Kane will do things that a man nearly seven feet and well over 300 pounds should not
00:53:28be able to do by the law of physics.
00:53:29Well, Billy Gunn goes six foot five, 270, and Kane's having his way right now.
00:53:33And Billy Gunn whipped across the ring into that steel turnbuckle.
00:53:38Kane has been so destructive, single-handedly,
00:53:41the heart of the team is X-Pac, the soul of the team is X-Pac.
00:53:45But Kane, he's basically, as JR puts it, the clean up hitter.
00:53:49Billy Gunn now, rake of the arm, now goes to work on that right arm.
00:53:55And Kane, and Kane follows it up with a clothesline.
00:53:58And Kane from the left side where Billy Gunn wasn't expecting it to come from.
00:54:01And now, X-Pac asking for the tag.
00:54:04These two have not had a cohesive unit as far as tag team continuity is concerned
00:54:09in any of their outings.
00:54:10Yeah, we've seen in recent weeks, X-Pac is showing for a tag team match.
00:54:13Kane may not show up till halfway through it.
00:54:16X-Pac never seems to know where Kane is.
00:54:18But as strange as it may seem, as unorthodox, it has worked for them.
00:54:22They have retained the WWF Tag Team Championship.
00:54:25Leapfrogged by X-Pac, Billy Gunn catches it with a drop kick.
00:54:28What a maneuver by Badass Billy Gunn, and now hammering away on X-Pac.
00:54:31Come on!
00:54:34Billy Gunn with that closed fist there.
00:54:36Remember, X-Pac a friend of the Outlaws.
00:54:40You know, with friends like this, I don't believe I need enemies because Mr.
00:54:44Ass may have had the advantage there, but he was drilling a closed fist into his friend's face.
00:54:48Here's a cover now by Road Dogg, and X-Pac kicks out.
00:54:54Nobody has ever accused DX of playing it safe, or playing it nice, or playing by the rules.
00:54:59But still, you would think there would be a little more solidarity between guys that
00:55:03have been so close, especially after Triple H is a guy who betrayed him.
00:55:07Still to come tonight on WWF SmackDown, that huge tag team match.
00:55:11Triple H and The Undertaker from the corporate ministry are gonna take on the Rock and
00:55:16Stone Cold.
00:55:17How in the world are they gonna get along?
00:55:19Billy Gunn and X-Pac in trouble.
00:55:22I am still shocked and amazed that Shane McMahon would slap Steve Austin and
00:55:26The Rock in the face like he has by forcing them, bitter rivals, to be part.
00:55:32I'm not surprised at all the way Shane's been acting as of late, a serious power trip.
00:55:37And Jim, I gotta believe, if The Undertaker and Shane were involved in this,
00:55:41were in cahoots at all.
00:55:43I mean, Shane McMahon, what was he thinking about, his sister?
00:55:47He got it, he got the tag.
00:55:49And here comes Kane now into the ring, momentum shifting here.
00:55:52Right hand from Kane after the tag by X-Pac.
00:55:55Tag Team Championship on the line.
00:55:57Billy got off the rope and caught a foot to the face.
00:55:59Here's Road Dogg now, and Kane now in control.
00:56:02The big red machine, the demon, he is unstoppable when he gets on a roll.
00:56:07But the Road Dogg gonna give it to Shane Grant and the roll.
00:56:10The South Park going to work, follows it up with a right hand to Kane.
00:56:13And now the Double Team by the Outlaws, Double Drop, take the McMahon down.
00:56:17They knocked the tree down.
00:56:19They took him off his feet, but can they keep him there?
00:56:22Shane Grant will roll.
00:56:24And the Outlaws now, gaining momentum, but Kane is set up.
00:56:28Kane is up, the Road Dogg doesn't realize.
00:56:31And the Road Dogg may be going for a ride.
00:56:33He's heading to the doghouse.
00:56:35One thing about when Kane takes him for a ride, no, he's got X-Pac too.
00:56:39He's got him both, his partner and his opponent.
00:56:41Kane is confused once again.
00:56:44And Billy Gunn now kicked to the midsection.
00:56:46Double team now by the Outlaws.
00:56:50Kane ripped off the rope and double clothesline.
00:56:54Kane for a moment there, anyone who comes at him, he just, he reacts out of instinct.
00:56:59He doesn't think, he just does.
00:57:01X-Pac now, went for the Bronco Buster on Road Dogg, and Road Dogg rolled out of the way.
00:57:06Hit but by Kane.
00:57:08Kane's still in control of Mr. Ass, but meanwhile there's a pileup over the corner
00:57:11of Road Dogg and X-Pac both down.
00:57:13That was the quickness of Billy Gunn, and Road Dogg goes down low now with a low blow.
00:57:17And there's the Famouser, this one could be over, the Famouser by Billy Gunn.
00:57:22We could have new Tag Team Champions to cover it out, and X-Pac makes the save.
00:57:26X-Pac in the nick of time got there, and Billy Gunn now turns around and
00:57:30turns its attention to X-Pac, and Road Dogg, almost as if he's telling Mr. Ass to lighten up.
00:57:37Badass Billy Gunn tossing X-Pac into the corner.
00:57:40Look at this now, X-Pac hooks the leg, this one's over.
00:57:44X-Pac and Kane retain the WWF Tag Team title.
00:57:48And still, World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions, X-Pac and Kane.
00:57:56My God, Michael, did you see how it happened?
00:57:58Billy Gunn had X-Pac pressed over his head, Road Dogg was knocked into Billy's leg.
00:58:03The whole pile came tumbling down, and X-Pac ended up on top for the victory.
00:58:07Give Kane the assist.
00:58:08The fact of the matter once again, that this unique team of X-Pac and Kane managed
00:58:14to function together yet again to retain the Tag Team title.
00:58:18And by hook or by crook, these two men have stayed together, and they have stayed champions.
00:58:23Still to come tonight, you see Stone Cold getting ready.
00:58:27The Rattlesnake forced a team with arch nemesis, The Rock.
00:58:31They'll take on The Undertaker in Triple H.
00:58:34It happens on WWF SmackDown tonight.
00:58:36We're back with WWF SmackDown on UPM.
00:58:42And folks, just a few moments ago, X-Pac and Kane retained the WWF Tag Team titles.
00:58:46Well, Lady Luck was on the side of the defending champions.
00:58:50As you see, Mr. S, press X-Pac, watch Road Dogg, knocked into Mr. S's leg.
00:58:55X-Pac comes down on top of the pile and gets the three count.
00:58:59X-Pac and Kane still your WWF Tag Team Champions.
00:59:03And this is now live.
00:59:06No, I don't.
00:59:08No, I don't.
00:59:08Billy, there'll be other matches.
00:59:09No, there won't.
00:59:10I can guarantee there's not gonna be another one with you, I can assure you.
00:59:14Yeah, this match is done yet either.
00:59:16Heated words between-
00:59:18I guess we won't have another chance, Adam.
00:59:20Friends, Road Dogg, and-
00:59:21Ladies and gentlemen, The Brood.
00:59:26They're a tremendous trio, Gangrel in the middle, Edge on his right,
00:59:30Christian on his left, The Brood wants members of The Undertaker's Ministry.
00:59:37But they rebelled, and Jim, I understand that The Brood may finally break their silence
00:59:42later tonight on SmackDown.
00:59:43That's right, we have seen The Brood in the WWF quite some time now, but
00:59:47they have never really spoken, never told us anything about themselves.
00:59:50They have gained a cult following, and I'll say this, their gothic lifestyle attracts
00:59:55most of the attention, but I firmly believe that these men are the three brightest
00:59:59young talents in this sport.
01:00:00You see Gangrel carrying that glass of red liquid.
01:00:02And this year,
01:00:03the Man's right,
01:00:04the Man's right,
01:00:05the Man's right,
01:00:06the Man's right, we have seen The Brood and The WWF quite some time now,
01:00:08but they have never really spoken, never told us anything about themselves.
01:00:11They have gained a cult following, and I'll say this,
01:00:13their gothic lifestyle attracts most of the attention, but
01:00:15I firmly believe that these men are the three brightest young talents in this sport.
01:00:18You see Gangrel carrying that glass of red liquid.
01:00:29And that's usually the three match ritual that The Brood conducts.
01:00:34Well, it's a psychological ritual that he drinks that red liquid from that chalice
01:00:39and sprays it out over the crowd.
01:00:43Doc Hendricks to do the interview.
01:00:44The fans have waited for what seems like an eternity for
01:00:47for The Brood to finally break their silence.
01:00:50Center stage is yours.
01:00:52The Brood initially has not spoken by our own choice.
01:00:56And then later, it was forbidden by The Undertaker.
01:01:01Well, when The Brood entered this world, we craved the guidance.
01:01:05That guiding light to show us the way.
01:01:08And that was The Undertaker.
01:01:10Well, unfortunately, The Undertaker's thoughts and feelings were not the same as ours.
01:01:17We're in the darkness, we seek a much different light.
01:01:22We live our collective lifestyles for who we are and what we believe in.
01:01:27And this search of the mystery of life and the hereafter.
01:01:33And the power is what we seek.
01:01:37And it's within all of us.
01:01:39And we just have to unleash it.
01:01:42Well, with all due respect, some say, some say they don't understand your lifestyle.
01:01:49And others, others quite frankly, think The Brood are basically off the charts.
01:01:54They will understand.
01:02:03Understanding is just a matter of time.
01:02:09The power lies within us.
01:02:12And it's up to us to find it.
01:02:15We are who we are.
01:02:17The unholy trio.
01:02:20And we will become what we will become.
01:02:27For those who believe, we'll follow.
01:02:30For those that don't, we'll merely exist.
01:02:34So, Doc, I suggest that you beware.
01:02:40Take care.
01:02:42Because the freaks come out at night.
01:02:46Look, look, look.
01:02:50I don't know what y'all are smoking.
01:02:54But if you ask me, seriously, it's nothing but a gimmick.
01:02:58You're just trying to get attention on yourselves.
01:03:00A gimmick, Doc?
01:03:04Is that what you see?
01:03:06Well, we don't care what you think.
01:03:09We know who we are and what we're capable of.
01:03:13You seem to be the one that's confused.
01:03:17Isn't that right, Michael?
01:03:19Doc Hendrickson- Wait a minute.
01:03:23Doc Hendrickson one time known as Michael P.S.
01:03:25Hayes, a member of the legendary Fabulous Freebirds team in the 80s.
01:03:28And he has just been attacked, evidently, by The Brood.
01:03:32The Brood just attacked Doc Hendrick.
01:03:34And he can't see anything that's going on.
01:03:38All I know is they called him by his real name, and then suddenly the lights went out.
01:03:42My God.
01:03:46Doc Hendricks, the victim of another Brood, Bloodbath.
01:03:50That's that psychological tactic that The Brood uses against their opponents.
01:03:54They surprise him, and then give him a bloodbath.
01:03:58The Bloodbath is nothing but intimidation from The Brood.
01:04:02And Doc Hendricks has now suffered it.
01:04:04Where you at?
01:04:05Come on, you chicken.
01:04:06Come on, X-Pac, where you at?
01:04:09Ken Shamrock, tonight you meet Bradshaw of The Acolytes in a no-holds-barred street fight.
01:04:13It certainly has been a long week for you, courtesy of The Acolytes.
01:04:16It was last Monday on Raw, where you came down to the ring, preparing to meet Bradshaw, wielding
01:04:22the same bat that Bradshaw victimized you just a night before at Backlash.
01:04:27When it turned into another opportunity for premeditated assault by The Acolytes, the
01:04:31damage was done.
01:04:32The scars may not have healed, but tonight you step into battle, nonetheless, with Bradshaw,
01:04:37no-holds-barred street fight.
01:04:38That's right, Bradshaw's been a pain in my backside.
01:04:43You cost me that match against Undertaker Bradshaw, and tonight you will pay for that.
01:04:49Street fight rules.
01:04:50See, I was born on the street.
01:04:52I was raised to fight.
01:04:54I fought for space.
01:04:56Well, Bradshaw, I want you to understand one thing.
01:04:59I'm gonna break your arms, I'm gonna break your legs, and I'm gonna break your spirit.
01:05:06And then when I'm through with all that, then I'm gonna beat the crap out of you some more.
01:05:10So are you willing to lay it on the line?
01:05:12I am.
01:05:13I'll see you in the ring, punk.
01:05:15Making its way to the ring, the following street fight is scheduled for one fall.
01:05:29Making its way to the ring, he weighs in at 302 pounds, Bradshaw.
01:05:36And look out, Jim, he's got that baseball bat, and here comes Shamrock.
01:05:39Right behind, and this thing started, no-holds-barred street fight.
01:05:43That's right, let's get right down to it.
01:05:45You're not gonna see any of Shamrock's beautiful technique for submission wrestling.
01:05:49It's gonna be on Raw in motion, and it's gonna be a brawl because anything goes,
01:05:53anything's legal, may the best man win.
01:05:56Shamrock into those steel stairs.
01:05:59It's Bradshaw from the Acolytes, part of the Ministry of Darkness against
01:06:03the world's most dangerous man, Ken Shamrock.
01:06:05The ultimate fighting champion, a champion here as well, in the WWF.
01:06:10Ken Shamrock, no stranger to no-holds-barred competition.
01:06:13He has fought every kind of hand-to-hand combat there is to fight,
01:06:16including the UFC, and he has dominated all of them.
01:06:21Bradshaw now, the 300 pounder with Shamrock.
01:06:23Great fall away slam that time by Bradshaw.
01:06:26Rules are simple in this type of matchup.
01:06:28There are none.
01:06:29That's right.
01:06:29That's the rules.
01:06:30Here's Bradshaw, first cover of the match, hooks the leg, and
01:06:32a kick out by Ken Shamrock.
01:06:34Boy, I tell you, as wild as this one is gonna be,
01:06:38I can't wait to see how wild that tag team match is gonna get just a little bit
01:06:42later on tonight, when Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock will team up for
01:06:46the first time ever to face Triple H and The Undertaker.
01:06:51Shot blocked that time by Shamrock to knock the big man Bradshaw down.
01:06:54And look at Shamrock now, up over the top, hooks the leg, goes for the cover.
01:06:57Now he's going for the, look at this.
01:06:58Wait a minute, we will maybe see a submission in a street fight.
01:07:02Bradshaw's in trouble.
01:07:03Good heavens, Bradshaw can't get away from it.
01:07:06Shamrock has that cross leg breaker just anchored down and
01:07:10he's trying to hook the ankle and Bradshaw's doing everything he can to squirm out of the way.
01:07:13But Bradshaw's in the middle of the ring, he needs to make it to the ropes, folks.
01:07:16Hammering away now, keep in mind, no holds barred.
01:07:19This is a street fight, Bradshaw on the ropes.
01:07:22Bradshaw had two choices there, folks, crawl out of that ring or get his leg broken.
01:07:26And he chose the former, wait a minute, they're getting a little close over here, Michael.
01:07:31This is like Bradshaw's a wild man himself.
01:07:33If he'll take 10 shots and throw 50 just to land five, he'll go head first and
01:07:38keep on coming and Shamrock is meeting him every step of the way.
01:07:41Shamrock with a right hand now to Bradshaw, look out, Bradshaw going into the bell table, my.
01:07:46Hit your feet, Michael.
01:07:48Bradshaw on the bell table and Shamrock can't run away in this no holds barred street fight.
01:07:52Well, this whole thing started with Ken Shamrock sided with Vince McMahon against the Ministry.
01:07:57Shamrock was even the one who rescued Stephanie at one point from the clutches of The Undertaker.
01:08:02And it was Shamrock's sister Ryan, who was abducted by The Undertaker.
01:08:06And Shamrock now has that baseball bat.
01:08:08Wait a minute, he's got the bat.
01:08:09Get out of my way.
01:08:10Bradshaw out of the way, Bradshaw now tossing Shamrock back into the ring.
01:08:19Somebody grab that bat, grab the dog.
01:08:21Bradshaw's got it now.
01:08:23Bradshaw now has that baseball bat.
01:08:26Into the gut of Shamrock, and across the back.
01:08:30I don't care how mean you are, I don't care how tough you are.
01:08:34There is no way that you're gonna stand up to an assault with a baseball bat.
01:08:39Good Lord, they've cleared everything out over here at ringside.
01:08:41Wow.
01:08:42This isn't normal, WWF rules, another chop block by Ken Shamrock to once again,
01:08:47knock Bradshaw off his feet.
01:08:50Well, now Shamrock has the back pocketing.
01:08:54He swung and he hit Bradshaw right in the stomach and right in the head.
01:08:58Back to the head, Shamrock to Bradshaw.
01:09:01And Shamrock now the world's most dangerous man, proving why.
01:09:06Well, now he's trying to choke the breath out of Bradshaw with that baseball bat.
01:09:10It's a tribute to Bradshaw that he is still able to stand on his feet after
01:09:14getting whacked with that baseball bat twice.
01:09:16And now Shamrock, look, he's got him trapped, he's trying to choke him out.
01:09:19He's got the carotid arteries on either side of the neck compressed.
01:09:22And he's using that bat as a point of leverage.
01:09:24And Jim, look at how red the face is of Bradshaw.
01:09:27Bradshaw struggling for air, struggling for breath there.
01:09:30He's not gonna give up though.
01:09:32This could be a choke out.
01:09:34If Shamrock can keep that clamped on long enough, Bradshaw's not,
01:09:37he's not gonna get enough blood to his brain, he's gonna pass out.
01:09:40Keep in mind, no holds barred, folks, there's basically no rules.
01:09:42This is a street fight.
01:09:44Bradshaw grabbing a referee, Tim White.
01:09:46Bradshaw trying to reach for anything he can at this, that's it, that's it.
01:09:52Shamrock has choked out Bradshaw, the referee calls through the bell.
01:09:55Here's the winner, the one with the most dangerous man, Ken Shiprock.
01:10:00Look out, he.
01:10:01Referee Tim White, he had no chance, he had no choice to stop that thing,
01:10:05or else was Bradshaw could be seriously injured, permanently injured.
01:10:09Well, he can't get Shamrock off Bradshaw now.
01:10:12We've seen the look in the eyes like this of Shamrock before.
01:10:15When Shamrock snaps, he's uncontrollable, and here now the officials are out.
01:10:19Four officials and agents now trying, trying desperately to get Shamrock off Bradshaw.
01:10:24He's choked out Bradshaw.
01:10:26He's got that bad after everybody, my God, there's Sergeant Slaughter.
01:10:29Slaughter, and Shamrock has gone nuts, he snapped.
01:10:34Shamrock is snapped on Sergeant Slaughter.
01:10:37I got this as mayhem, it's just, it's unadulterated mayhem,
01:10:42and nobody can come near, can Shamrock?
01:10:44Shamrock is snapped.
01:10:46Meanwhile, Kevin Kelly's in the boiler room with Mankind.
01:10:50Mankind tonight here on SmackDown,
01:10:52you renew an old rivalry against the big boss man.
01:10:54You know, Kevin, as I was sitting in this boiler room,
01:10:56I suddenly had the feeling, doggone it, why don't we just call off the whole thing?
01:11:02For forgive, forgive and forget, let bygones be forgotten.
01:11:05And then I realized if I were to do that, I'd be out of a job, and UPN would be out
01:11:10one sports entertainment spectacular.
01:11:13So for those of you who don't know me, let me explain myself.
01:11:17I sit in boiler rooms because I enjoy the ambiance.
01:11:20I wear a sweaty leather mask because it helps me sell little dolls.
01:11:25I wear a shirt and tie because it looks so damn good, and I will shove this rancid sock that looks a lot like me down the gullet of the boss man because I can, and because the fans seem to enjoy it quite a bit.
01:11:41Have a nice day, X-Pac, you can't hide from me forever, X-Pac, get out of here, this is the thing.
01:11:48Man, what a whiner.
01:11:49Tonight, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin will feel the wrath of the most omnipotent force ever created here in the World Wrestling Federation,
01:11:59the corporate ministry, yeah, created by me.
01:12:06And here comes the corporate team's enforcer, the boss man, and Shane McMahon, the corporate ministry.
01:12:14Is it a union with The Undertaker?
01:12:16Well, that remains to be seen.
01:12:19There's so many questions that remain to be answered.
01:12:22I just cannot understand how Shane McMahon can coexist with a man like The Undertaker after
01:12:27what's going on, the terrorization of the McMahon family.
01:12:30Vince McMahon and his daughter Stephanie apparently left the building a little bit ago.
01:12:42Well, folks, here he comes, the most durable, the most indestructible,
01:12:46the most unique, and the most likable superstar in this business.
01:12:50There will never be another Mick Foley, but Michael, this one's not finished yet.
01:12:54And here we go now, the big boss man, the corporate team's enforcer,
01:12:58hammering away on Mankind.
01:13:00Mankind gives his heart, his body and soul, seems to be impervious to pain.
01:13:05You know, and that's what's scary, Michael, because he's not impervious to it.
01:13:09He feels it just like anybody else does, but he disregards it, and he gets past it, and he goes on.
01:13:15My, double arm DDT by Mankind, the former WWF champion.
01:13:21And he's calling for Mr. Socko, and folks, if you don't know the story on Socko,
01:13:26I doubt we got time to tell you.
01:13:28Mr. Socko now on the hand of Mankind, and Boss Man wants no part of that Socko.
01:13:34You know what, get that thing off your head.
01:13:35Wait a minute, from behind, it's Test.
01:13:38Test tosses Boss Man back in the ring.
01:13:42Well, the problems between Test and the Boss Man, we've seen it.
01:13:45Mankind rolls him over in a kick out after two.
01:13:47Didn't know that Test was a friend to Mankind, don't think Mankind knew it as well.
01:13:51Perhaps he isn't, perhaps it's just they have one thing, one thing on their plate,
01:13:55a corporate agenda.
01:13:56Boss Man now hammering away, right hand to Mankind.
01:13:59Nobody home, Boss Man over the top rope.
01:14:02We saw that at Backlash after Mankind had won the Boiler Room Brawl.
01:14:06Wait a minute, look who's on his way down.
01:14:09Boss Man's the guy that attacked Mankind, and there's Paul White.
01:14:12Big Show, he's the guy that Mankind was in the Boiler Room Brawl with.
01:14:17And the Big Show now, Boss Man gonna go in the halfway, over the top rope.
01:14:22And look at this now, Socko, Socko shoved in the throat,
01:14:27the multiple claw on Boss Man.
01:14:30Here is your winner, Mankind.
01:14:37Can you believe the Big Show playing the part of a bouncer when Boss Man was about to take off?
01:14:43He pressed him over his head, 325 pounds, threw him back in the ring, that was it.
01:14:48And speaking of playing the part of bouncers, what about Motley Crue's former bodyguard?
01:14:53Test coming down and tossing Boss Man back in the ring.
01:14:56Big Show tests Mankind, perhaps unified with a corporate agenda.
01:15:01Sending a message to Shane McMahon's now corporate ministry.
01:15:05I'll tell you folks, you talk about the corporate ministry, it looks like there's some revolts.
01:15:09It looks like there's some alliances being forced.
01:15:12Wait a minute.
01:15:13Billy Gunn and his friend X-Pac.
01:15:16Billy Gunn's still upset.
01:15:18And there's Kane.
01:15:20X-Pac's partner.
01:15:22You do what you want.
01:15:23You got shit.
01:15:25Billy Gunn upset still that he lost a tag team championship match tonight to Kane and X-Pac.
01:15:31And there's The Rock.
01:15:33The Rock, The People's Champion on his way to the arena.
01:15:37The Rock, and perhaps the greatest WWF tag team match in history.
01:15:42Coming up next, The Rock teaches Stone Cold to take on Triple H and The Undertaker.
01:15:48It's up next on SmackDown.
01:15:50There's Triple H in China on to the mean street posse.
01:16:10Tag team competition is scheduled for a one fall.
01:16:13Biggie is winning and accompanied by the ninth wonder of the war of China,
01:16:18Vince Kennedy playing at 250 pounds.
01:16:23Triple H.
01:16:24As we get set for perhaps the greatest tag team match in the history of the WWF,
01:16:29where is Shane McMahon?
01:16:31Well, that's a very good question.
01:16:33His buddies are here, but we don't see the head honcho.
01:16:36But we are gonna see four of the most diverse personalities ever to engage in a tag team
01:16:41match right here tonight, Michael.
01:16:43But will it turn into every man for himself?
01:16:45Or is it some kind of plot or set up or trap?
01:16:48These guys just cannot get along.
01:16:50And his tag team partner, they accompany Mark Palmer.
01:16:55Our question has been answered.
01:16:57The Undertaker.
01:16:59I never thought I would see Shane McMahon and The Undertaker shoulder to shoulder.
01:17:04And apparently, Jim, we have seen the forming of an unholy alliance right here tonight on SmackDown.
01:17:09And they are in cahoots, and The Undertaker, who organized the Ministry of Darkness,
01:17:14who terrorized Vince McMahon's family and attempted to control the WWF by extortion,
01:17:19has now joined forces with Shane's corporation to form the corporate ministry.
01:17:24Shane McMahon is deemed as such the corporate ministry.
01:17:27Shane McMahon is deemed as such the corporate ministry.
01:17:30The Undertaker.
01:17:31The Undertaker.
01:17:32And Shane McMahon is deemed as such the corporate ministry.
01:17:37The Undertaker and Shane McMahon, the son of Vince McMahon, the son of Vince McMahon,
01:17:43who's run this company for two decades.
01:18:03And what have we seen formed here?
01:18:05You smell what the lock is pulling.
01:18:07And their opponent sporting from Miami, Florida, weighing it at 275 pounds, The Rock.
01:18:23The Rock, former WWF champion, who was kicked out of the corporation this past Monday night
01:18:30on Raw because Shane McMahon said The Rock failed him in his battle against Austin at
01:18:36Backlash this past Sunday night.
01:18:38Well, let's not forget he was kicked out of the corporation after he basically told
01:18:42Shane McMahon every name in the book.
01:18:44It was a pretty good bet.
01:18:45He was fixed to quit.
01:18:47The Undertaker and Triple H, apparently their only bond, their only link,
01:18:53being Shane McMahon.
01:18:54Their corner in The Rock, and he slips out from the middle of them.
01:18:59And The Rock now hammering away on Triple H, and right now, folks,
01:19:04we've got a two-on-one.
01:19:06The Rock's partner Stone Cold Steve Austin, but The Rattlesnake is nowhere to be found.
01:19:11And look out, here comes The Cavalry, The Texas Rattlesnake, taking it out on Triple H.
01:19:25The WWE Champion.
01:19:29Inside the ring, The Rock is cooking.
01:19:31On The Undertaker, outside the ring, Stone Cold is all over Triple H.
01:19:38And we have got pandemonium everywhere here on SmackDown.
01:19:42In the ring, The Undertaker just leveled The Rock.
01:19:44Austin now inside, and Austin going for the Phenom.
01:19:47And the Phenom with the right hand to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
01:19:51And another one from The Seven-Footer.
01:19:54The Undertaker is evil.
01:19:55He's a changed man.
01:19:57He's demonic.
01:19:58And tonight he's formed an allegiance with Shane McMahon, the corporate ministry.
01:20:02And here's Austin.
01:20:03Loose as Craig.
01:20:04And Austin headed away on The Undertaker.
01:20:06And look at him on The Undertaker.
01:20:08Austin in tow.
01:20:09Trying to be as sadistic to The Undertaker as The Undertaker was sadistic Austin.
01:20:13Cover now.
01:20:14And Triple H makes the save after two.
01:20:16Boy, I'll tell you what, we have got mayhem.
01:20:18And if you look outside the ring, we've got enough supporting cast of characters
01:20:22to have a full scale street riot.
01:20:24But Jim, if Stone Cold and The Rock can work together, they may be the only two guys
01:20:29in the WWF who could pull it off going through this corporate ministry.
01:20:33Good Lord, Austin sagged in the corner and he comes right back out fighting this.
01:20:38There is no quit in the Rattlesnake.
01:20:40And I doubt very seriously if you will see Stone Cold Steve Austin tag The Rock into this match.
01:20:46Stone Cold now kicked to the midsection.
01:20:48Went for the stunner.
01:20:49Triple H counter.
01:20:50He caught him with a knee to the face.
01:20:52Triple H and The Undertaker on one side.
01:20:55Austin and The Rock on the other.
01:20:57You see Shane McMahon, Chyna, The Meat Street Posse outside the ring tearing on Triple H.
01:21:03Who missed with the knee?
01:21:04You never thought it would be possible.
01:21:05I don't even know if Vince McMahon himself could have made this merger come about.
01:21:10What can Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon be thinking?
01:21:13And Triple H now goes for the cover and Austin gets the shoulder up.
01:21:16Do you suppose they are at home now?
01:21:18Do you suppose that they know anything about this?
01:21:21Do you suppose that they could grasp that Vince's son and Stephanie's brother
01:21:26could do something like this and stab the whole family in the back?
01:21:29For weeks, The Undertaker playing mind games, psychological warfare on Vince McMahon and Stephanie.
01:21:34And tonight, tonight in Allegiance apparently has been formed with Vince McMahon's son,
01:21:41his only son, the heir apparent to the throne, Shane McMahon.
01:21:46And in this case, Michael, I would have to say that the sins of the son will be paid back by the father somehow.
01:21:54Vince McMahon has never stood for something like this to go on.
01:21:58His capacity crowd comes to life.
01:22:00Stone Cold now, hammering back, back on Triple H, off the second rope.
01:22:05Austin now, the rattlesnake on the attack.
01:22:08And he caught him, sledgehammer to the face.
01:22:13And here comes The Rock.
01:22:14And so far, Austin and The Rock working as a unit, a hard tag from The People's Champ.
01:22:20Can you believe they made that tag?
01:22:22Anybody who's seen Austin and Rock's wars at WrestleMania and Backlash, no.
01:22:26They got no love for each other.
01:22:27The only thing they have in common is a dislike for Shane McMahon.
01:22:31Austin and Rock didn't wanna be partners.
01:22:33They were forced by Shane McMahon.
01:22:35And now Rock, the three generation athlete, and the WWF pairing away on The Phenom.
01:22:41Well, I'll tell you, while Rock's a college man through and through, Austin is redneck as redneck can be.
01:22:47And they do make an unlikely pair.
01:22:48Cover by The Phenom now.
01:22:49There's two, and Rock gets his left shoulder up.
01:22:52They didn't choose this situation, Michael.
01:22:54Let's make that clear to everybody.
01:22:56Stone Cold, Northern Rock chose this.
01:22:58They were forced together by Shane McMahon as a slap in the face, as an embarrassment.
01:23:04The Undertaker and Triple H not forced together.
01:23:07They're part of this whole corporate merger, the corporate team of the ministry.
01:23:11And The Rock planted The Undertaker, hook of the leg now.
01:23:14There's one, two, and again, Triple H makes the save.
01:23:17How long do you think this has gone on?
01:23:20How long do you think that Shane McMahon and The Undertaker have been on speaking terms,
01:23:25much less in cahoots?
01:23:27Shane McMahon cheering on The Undertaker, and here comes The Brahma Bull.
01:23:31The 275 pounder whipped into the ropes now.
01:23:34Undertaker misses with a close one, and both men knock each other down.
01:23:38The Rock, charismatic, electrifying, we've said it, a three-time WWF champion,
01:23:43unprecedented for a man his age.
01:23:45His best years are still ahead of him, and the ones he had are pretty darn good.
01:23:49And don't forget The Undertaker, one of the most spectacular athletes,
01:23:52the Phenom in the history of the WWF, from the dark side, who's made a demonic turn.
01:23:57And listen to the crowd.
01:24:00Can you believe it?
01:24:02They are so firmly behind The Rock.
01:24:05The Rock now whipped into the corner by The Phenom.
01:24:07Undertaker misses, Rock counters, Rock bottom, Rock bottom, Triple H.
01:24:11And here's Austin now.
01:24:12Austin with right hands to Triple H, and all four men going at it.
01:24:17Well, that's all it took to like this one on fire.
01:24:20This is like walking through hell with gasoline bridges on.
01:24:23Wait a minute, wait a minute, Jim.
01:24:24Here comes the rest of the corporate ministry.
01:24:26Force Man, Acolytes, Viscera, Midian.
01:24:29God, how many of them are there?
01:24:32How many of them are there on two men?
01:24:35Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
01:24:36Wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:24:38It's Tess, it's Tess, it's Shamrock, The Big Show.
01:24:44It is a street riot.
01:24:45Hey Shane McMahon's coming over here behind us, holding up that chair.
01:24:49He's trying to run from cover.
01:24:50This thing is broken completely out of control.
01:24:53The Rock and Austin, Big Show, Tess, Shamrock have cleared the ring of the corporate ministry.
01:24:59Folks, I'll tell you what, the corporate ministry's not the only one that's got some backup.
01:25:03The Big Show, Stone Cold, The Rock, Tess, they're all standing tall.
01:25:08Look out now, Austin and Undertaker in the ring.
01:25:10Undertaker with a boot to the face.
01:25:12Keep in mind, folks, the referee has called for the bell.
01:25:15This thing is spread all over the building.
01:25:17They're fighting the crowd, they're fighting on the stage.
01:25:19And there's Shane McMahon with that metal forward chair.
01:25:22Wait a minute, wait a minute, Austin in trouble.
01:25:24What a counter by Austin.
01:25:27Undertaker, no, Austin.
01:25:29Could be planted here with a chokeslam, chokeslam.
01:25:32The Rocket Triple H had batted through the crowd.
01:25:38Wait a minute, Shane with a chair.
01:25:40Vince McMahon's here.
01:25:41My God.
01:25:42Vince McMahon, Vince McMahon, Vince McMahon just concocted his son Shane.
01:25:47Vince McMahon just knocked out his own son.
01:25:50The Undertaker with a chair.
01:25:52Vince McMahon has grabbed the chair.
01:25:54Vince is saving Austin.
01:25:56Vince McMahon has sacrificed himself for Austin.
01:26:00Austin, returning Austin's favor for Raw.
01:26:03My God, my God, that's the ultimate sacrifice.
01:26:07Vince McMahon is unconscious.
01:26:09Did you hear the impact, the concussion of his head on that chair?
01:26:13The Undertaker standing over the fallen Vince McMahon.
01:26:16Vince McMahon has sacrificed himself for Stone Cold.
01:26:21The Undertaker standing over Vince McMahon.
01:26:25That sound, Michael, it could have been his head as well as the chair.
01:26:29Wait a minute.
01:26:30Stunner, stunner.
01:26:34Austin has stubbed the feet off.
01:26:36Stone Cold has stubbed the feet off.
01:26:39And now look at Shane.
01:26:40Shane hammering away on an unconscious Vince McMahon.
01:26:43Damn it, that's Shane's father.
01:26:45Shane McMahon has attacked his own father while his father is unconscious.
01:26:50Wait a minute.
01:26:51The Rattlesnake.
01:26:52Take a look at your surroundings, Shane.
01:26:57And your backup is gone, pal.
01:27:01The corporate ministry stock is about to go way down.
01:27:06Stone Cold returns the favor to Vince McMahon.
01:27:14But God, this is the wildest thing I've ever seen.
01:27:17Both McMahons are laid out in the middle of the ring.
01:27:20Shane McMahon in the hands of Steve Austin.
01:27:22Vince McMahon at the hands of The Undertaker.
01:27:25And Stone Cold is standing above him.
01:27:28Stone Cold with a toast for good measure.
01:27:31The Rattlesnake.
01:27:33The Rattlesnake has dug the head of this new corporate ministry.
01:27:40But Vince McMahon is still out of bone after that sickening butt of the chair by The Undertaker.
01:27:48I am seriously concerned that Vince McMahon has been critically injured.
01:27:52The sound of that chair smacking off his skull was sickening.
01:27:56Stone Cold, Steve Austin, the WWF champion.
01:28:02This is far from over.
01:28:05Shane McMahon and The Undertaker have apparently, apparently formed an unholy alliance.
01:28:12It's the corporate ministry.
01:28:14The corporate ministry.
01:28:16Shane McMahon and The Undertaker.
01:28:19How far will Shane McMahon defeat us go?
