00:00:29Get ready for an electric night!

00:00:49Fasten your seatbelts for the Hot In Action Adventure Series on TV!

00:00:54It's time for the WWF to return to network television!

00:00:58Welcome to SmackDown on UPN!

00:01:02Is this on?

00:01:06She is the number one contender for

00:01:17the Intercontinental Championship.

00:01:20And on December 26th,

00:01:23she's scheduled to meet Jeff Jarrett.

00:01:26That's if the ninth wonder of the world, Shida,

00:01:29can get through Mr. Ass here tonight on SmackDown.

00:01:32I'll tell you this, Michael, she may be the ninth wonder of the world,

00:01:37but actually the number one contendership is on the line tonight in this match.

00:01:43Shida putting the number one contendership for the Intercontinental title on the line.

00:01:47She is determined.

00:01:49She's focused.

00:01:50She's done a lot of firsts here in the WWF.

00:01:52The first woman in the Royal Rumble.

00:01:54And it was determined the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship.

00:02:01In the ring, she is the ninth wonder of the world, Shida.

00:02:07You know, Shida also the first woman in the King of the Ring tournament,

00:02:09also the first woman ever as the number one contender for the WWF title.

00:02:14Yeah.

00:02:15I'm a nice man.

00:02:17Yeah, I'm a nice man.

00:02:21But she will have her hands full tonight.

00:02:23And home on it, he weighs at 269 pounds, Mr. Ass.

00:02:31Well, I'll just say this about Chyna.

00:02:33She's got something to prove, and she's not afraid to prove it,

00:02:36but she must be mighty competent to go up against that man right there.

00:02:40I'll tell you, King Chyna and Mr. Ass were once good friends, but this time it's about business.

00:02:44The Intercontinental title got in the way.

00:02:46It started two weeks ago when Mr. Ass wanted to sign that open contract for the IC title.

00:02:51Yeah, but Chyna swerved him.

00:02:53She put her name on the contract that faced Jeff Jarrett.

00:02:56And Mr. Ass showed Chyna what he thought about that.

00:02:58He suffered a low blow, but what about what happened on Raw this past Monday?

00:03:02Well, I'm still not sure who this guitar was meant for.

00:03:06Looked like Jeff Jarrett, but Mr. Ass got the tune played on his head.

00:03:12And that is the question, who was the guitar meant for?

00:03:15Jeff Jarrett or Mr. Ass, but nonetheless, this will be-

00:03:18Doesn't really matter.

00:03:19Wait a minute, what the hell is this?

00:03:22That's Jeff-

00:03:23Hotty Mouth.

00:03:24That's Jeff Jarrett's music.

00:03:26The Intercontinental Champion with Deborah and his kitty.

00:03:29What's he doing out here?

00:03:30Who cares?

00:03:31As long as the puppies and the kitties are here.

00:03:33Woo!

00:03:34Baby!

00:03:35The winner of this match, King will face Jeff Jarrett and Unforgiven on September 26th for

00:03:42the Intercontinental title and perhaps Jeff Jarrett just wants to do a little scouting out here.

00:03:48Jeff, come on over here.

00:03:49Come right over here, bring the puppies and the kitties.

00:03:52Woo-hoo!

00:03:53Well, you're getting your list, King.

00:03:54The puppies and the kitties coming to ringside.

00:03:56Have a seat!

00:03:57Baby!

00:03:58And we're now joined by the self-proclaimed it, greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time.

00:04:01Damn right, the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time.

00:04:03This is an action adventure series, right?

00:04:06Well, that's what you're gonna get tonight.

00:04:07And here we go now.

00:04:08In Jeff Jarrett Enterprises.

00:04:09Mr. Ass and Chyna, exchanging words in the center of the ring.

00:04:14Once good friends, but this time business has got in the way!

00:04:17And Chyna just moved Mr. Ass!

00:04:20My gosh!

00:04:21Yeah, you were showing some footage out here earlier.

00:04:23I didn't see the B-roll of Jeff Jarrett smacking Chyna with a guitar shot.

00:04:27Look out!

00:04:28And here comes Chyna now, hammering away on Mr. Ass!

00:04:31And Chyna, Mr. Ass battling it out for the number one contendership for the Intercontinental title.

00:04:36And who do you wanna meet?

00:04:37It doesn't matter who I face, because when I step into the ring September 26th at Unforgiven,

00:04:43I'm stepping in with the belt, and I'm leaving with the title.

00:04:46And look at Chyna now with a forearm to Mr. Ass.

00:04:48Chyna taking it right to her former good friend.

00:04:50Setting him up for a suplex.

00:04:52Mr. Ass now with a counter, and look at Chyna going high.

00:04:55Look out!

00:04:57Mr. Ass, tremendous athletic ability.

00:05:00What you doing?

00:05:01Chyna reversed it.

00:05:02Chyna reversed it.

00:05:03And Chyna now.

00:05:05Talk about it!

00:05:06Wow!

00:05:07DDT!

00:05:08Chyna planted Mr. Ass!

00:05:10Cover now!

00:05:11There's two!

00:05:12And shoulder up!

00:05:13I'll tell you.

00:05:15I can't believe I'm this close to the Puppies and the Kitties!

00:05:17King, keep your mind on the match.

00:05:19What?

00:05:20We're not out here to talk about Debra and Miss Kitty.

00:05:22We're here to find out who the number one contender's gonna be when we get to Unforgiven.

00:05:26What an elbow delivered by Mr. Ass to the cheek of Chyna that time.

00:05:30And Chyna's in all kinds of trouble.

00:05:32Chyna was the number one contender coming in.

00:05:34Hey, shut up!

00:05:35Don't listen to this crowd!

00:05:36Listen, you shut up, King.

00:05:37They want puppies!

00:05:38They want puppies!

00:05:39Billy looks like he's taking it easy on Chyna, but when I get in the ring with her,

00:05:42if that is who I face, I'm not gonna-

00:05:44Taking it easy.

00:05:45My, Chyna just ripped over the top rope.

00:05:48Taking it easy on Chyna.

00:05:50He's going at it with all he's got, Jeff Jarrett.

00:05:52Well, I guarantee you one thing, that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

00:05:55I don't care if I have to face Mr. Ass or Chyna, both of them at the same time.

00:05:59Hey, I think this could be over right here.

00:06:01Well, Chyna hurt her elbow, and Mr. Ass is concerned now for the health care of Chyna.

00:06:06I think it's over.

00:06:07Chyna was playing possum!

00:06:09The oldest trick in the book.

00:06:11Chyna delivers another forearm, and here comes the ninth one in the world.

00:06:14Mr. Ass in the steel stairs!

00:06:17Man!

00:06:18Right out in front of us here, and Chyna with a vicious mean streak.

00:06:22Michael, Chyna proved to the whole world what she had to do to win a match.

00:06:25Look what she did to Hunter for the WWF title, and now look what she just did to Mr. Ass.

00:06:30Mr. Ass threw a steel chair.

00:06:32She's sucking him right into it.

00:06:33Chyna is in control here, and Jeff Jarrett, I don't think you wanna meet her at Unforgiven.

00:06:38I told you, Michael.

00:06:40What?

00:06:41What's going on?

00:06:42Look at that shot.

00:06:43No!

00:06:44Forearm referee was knocked off the apron.

00:06:46Mr. Ass inadvertently into the referee, and Chyna now.

00:06:50Mr. Ass famous.

00:06:52This one should be over.

00:06:53That's it right there.

00:06:54Referee.

00:06:55This one should be over.

00:06:56Wait, where's the ref?

00:06:57Wait a minute.

00:06:58It's Triple H.

00:07:00He has no business out here.

00:07:01The WWF champion.

00:07:02He has no business out here.

00:07:03The champion in the ring setting Mr. Ass up in the pedigree.

00:07:07The pedigree.

00:07:08Doesn't he have enough to worry about?

00:07:11Triple H.

00:07:12Instead of coming in here and having Chyna win a match.

00:07:14Triple H pulling Chyna on Mr. Ass.

00:07:16Chyna's covered Mr. Ass.

00:07:18Triple H has cost Mr. Ass the number one contender slot.

00:07:22What is going on?

00:07:23Jeff, this could happen to you.

00:07:24But it's over.

00:07:25Well, it's not gonna happen to me, but that says it all.

00:07:28The match is set.

00:07:29Chyna is going to Unforgiven, September 26.

00:07:33Jeff Jarrett, like I said before, I'm walking in the ring with the belt, and

00:07:37I'm leaving with the Intercontinental title.

00:07:39And I'm leaving right now.

00:07:40Well, King, Chyna had something to prove.

00:07:43They're leaving, the puppies and the kittens are leaving.

00:07:45Chyna had something to prove, and boy, oh boy, does she ever prove it.

00:07:49We saw the WWF champion, Triple H come down to the ring.

00:07:53And he delivered the pedigree to Mr. Ass.

00:07:56Well, that was it.

00:07:58And now Chyna is gonna be the one who's gonna face Jeff Jarrett for

00:08:02the Intercontinental title.

00:08:04At Unforgiven September 26, Chyna versus Jeff Jarrett for

00:08:08the Intercontinental Championship.

00:08:10Boy, oh boy, if this is any indication, what a wild ride SmackDown's gonna be.

00:08:15And for those of you who stayed up late with us on Monday Night for Raw, what an ending.

00:08:20New Tag Team Champions crown, The Rock and Mankind meeting The Undertaker and The Big Show.

00:08:25That was a wild ride last week, all right?

00:08:27I'm telling you, Michael, I've never seen anything like it.

00:08:29Well, Paul Bearer came down to the ring, and Paul Bearer showed The Undertaker something.

00:08:34And whatever it was, it drew the Phenom to the back, leaving The Big Show high and dry.

00:08:38Yeah, I don't know if this was point of tough love or not, but The Rock and

00:08:43Mankind laid the SmackDown on The Big Show.

00:08:45I couldn't believe it.

00:08:46He got pinned.

00:08:48And The Rock and Mankind are now new WWF Tag Team Champions with a huge victory.

00:08:54Uh-oh, wait a minute.

00:08:56It's The Big Show.

00:08:59And what a big show we have here on SmackDown tonight as we come to you from Worcester.

00:09:07X-Pac will be in action, taking on Chris Jericho.

00:09:13As The Big Show now heads down to the ring.

00:09:17And I'll tell you what, he's gotta be in a foul mood after The Undertaker left him high

00:09:22and dry on Raw Monday Night.

00:09:24The Big Show's always in a foul mood.

00:09:27The Big Show looks extremely angry, and he obviously has something to say.

00:09:32The Undertaker, I hear a lot lately from you about tough love.

00:09:36It'll make me tougher.

00:09:38Let me tell you, you ink, sack, carcass of dead meat.

00:09:44Whoa, whoa.

00:09:45You ever leave me high and dry again, it's gonna be the last thing that will ever happen to you.

00:09:50I've had it up to my throat with your rules and your game.

00:09:54Bring your sorry self down here now.

00:09:58The Big Show has called out The Undertaker.

00:10:02Well, The Undertaker said he wanted to.

00:10:04Well, well, well.

00:10:06Wasn't that The Undertaker?

00:10:08That's Paul Bearer.

00:10:09How dare you stand in that ring and talk to The Undertaker in that manner?

00:10:20We couldn't leave you alone.

00:10:23You cost us the WWF Tag Team Championship.

00:10:28Boy.

00:10:29There's something you must have forgot.

00:10:33You better remember that The Undertaker created you and he damn well can destroy you.

00:10:42The Big Show just clobbered Paul Bearer.

00:10:46Let me tell you something you fat sloth, I don't want the messenger, I want the man.

00:10:51Look at this.

00:10:53He wants The Undertaker and King, he's gonna get him.

00:11:00Well, I'll just say this.

00:11:03The Undertaker said he wanted to see a killer instinct come out of The Big Show.

00:11:07I think he's about to see it right now.

00:11:09He's the Phenom, The Undertaker.

00:11:15He is evil.

00:11:16He has an ounce of feeling for no one.

00:11:19He's cold-blooded, but for some reason, King, he's taken The Big Show under his wing.

00:11:26What that reason is, I have no idea.

00:11:32The Big Show extremely upset and angry that The Undertaker left him high and dry on Raw this past week.

00:11:40The Undertaker believes The Big Show has all the physical tools.

00:11:44The Undertaker believes The Big Show has what it takes, but he needs a killer instinct in the Phenom's words.

00:11:51Oh, look at that face of The Undertaker.

00:11:53Look at that face.

00:11:57King, they're gonna go at it.

00:11:58This is not good, folks, on SmackDown.

00:12:01What do you mean it's not good?

00:12:02Undertaker and Big Show are gonna go at it as Undertaker looks on at his fallen Paul Bearer.

00:12:09Man, two mammoths in the ring.

00:12:15Toe-to-toe, Big Show and Undertaker.

00:12:19Well, there he is, Big Show.

00:12:21You wanted him.

00:12:22What's gonna, look at this.

00:12:24What is he, what's he saying?

00:12:28The Undertaker whispering something in the Big Show's ear.

00:12:34Look at this.

00:12:37Big Show a little confused.

00:12:41What in the world did he tell him?

00:12:46I don't know, but- Now that being said, you did a pretty good number on Paul there.

00:12:53Not much sympathy for Paul Bearer.

00:13:00But if you ever disrespect me like that again,

00:13:05I'll rip your throat out and choke you with your own tongue.

00:13:09Wow.

00:13:13And King, keep in mind those prophetic words from The Undertaker just a few weeks ago,

00:13:18that he would stab The Big Show in the back.

00:13:22He's not even helping Paul Bearer up.

00:13:24Undertaker's not even helping Paul Bearer up as he leaves The Big Show in the ring.

00:13:29But the question is, what did The Undertaker whisper to The Big Show?

00:13:33I have no idea, but I mean, a total transformation came over The Big Show.

00:13:38Those words, whatever they were from The Undertaker.

00:13:40That's a limousine pulling into the arena here in Worcester.

00:13:44King, who the heck could be in a limo?

00:13:46I don't know.

00:13:47What else is gonna happen tonight on SmackDown?

00:13:49The Worcester Centrum is on its feet.

00:14:03Welcome to SmackDown on UPN.

00:14:06That's one half, and the Tag Team Champion takes to the ring.

00:14:10Of the tag team champions, Mankind.

00:14:18This past Monday on Raw King, Mankind in Rock became the new Tag Team Champion.

00:14:25I still can't believe it.

00:14:26I don't know how many of you remember this, but when I was 14, there used to be this game called Electronic Football.

00:14:43And I used to play the heck out of that game.

00:14:48And I was laying down on my bed, and I was playing a game of Coleco Electronic Football.

00:14:56And while I was playing this game on my bed, I happened to be naked.

00:15:03Oh, no.

00:15:04Oh, picture that.

00:15:05Those little vibrating players.

00:15:07And my mother walked in the door.

00:15:10That's embarrassing.

00:15:12And even though I wasn't technically doing anything wrong, it still has stood out in my mind as the most embarrassing moment of the past 20 years.

00:15:23Yeah.

00:15:24Until I lost to Shane McMahon, that is.

00:15:29What do you mean?

00:15:32So Shane, for embarrassing me with the help of Triple H, I am making a vow tonight in Worcester, Massachusetts.

00:15:42That was last week when he lost to Shane King.

00:15:46That one way or another, I will get even somehow, someway, someday.

00:15:55Shane better be looking over his shoulder.

00:15:57You mean Mankind expected to beat Shane?

00:15:58Mankind didn't come out here to talk about his nudity, his electronic football, or his mom.

00:16:06Mankind came out here today to talk about The Great One.

00:16:11He's gonna talk about Shane again?

00:16:17Okay.

00:16:18My partner.

00:16:20The fans in the center of those who know who it is.

00:16:26You see, I was sitting in the back on Monday night when The Rock challenged not just The Undertaker,

00:16:37but The Big Show to a handicap match.

00:16:43And I got goosebumps.

00:16:46Because I knew that not only did The Rock have the ability, but he had that testicular fortitude.

00:16:54He did.

00:16:57To defeat both men.

00:16:59And if there's one thing I admire about The Rock, it is not the $600 shirts.

00:17:05It's not even the people's elbow.

00:17:08It's the fact that The Rock's testicles are full of fortitude.

00:17:14So listen, we've had a chance to look at The People's partner, because I was standing back there,

00:17:27and I knew that The People wanted Mankind as The Rock's partner.

00:17:33They did?

00:17:34Maybe dozens and dozens of them.

00:17:36They needed Mankind as The Rock's partner.

00:17:42And Mankind, most of all, wanted to be The People's partner.

00:17:48Well, they're champions, The People's partner got it done.

00:17:53So I'd like to bring out right now, The People's Champion, The Rock.

00:17:58You smell what The Rock is doing.

00:18:05The Worcester Centrum has come unglued.

00:18:09He is the most electrifying man in sports entertainment today.

00:18:14The People's Champion, The Rock.

00:18:18You can feel the electricity here on SmackDown.

00:18:26I still can't believe that The Rock can coexist with a moron like Mankind for a partner.

00:18:33Well, King, they've been through wars in the past.

00:18:36Wars about the WWF Championship.

00:18:39But now these two are coexisting as tag team champions.

00:18:42That proves one thing, Michael.

00:18:44And what's that?

00:18:45Anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:18:48And it also proves it's worth staying up late to watch Raw.

00:18:52The Rock says, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky.

00:18:56Listen to Mankind.

00:18:57Rocky, Rocky.

00:18:58If you ask me, you can sum up Mankind's success in one word.

00:19:00What?

00:19:01Lucky.

00:19:02Mankind is not a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, but he's doing the job here tonight.

00:19:09The Rock says.

00:19:11Is that what he's capable of?

00:19:12The Rock says.

00:19:14These two have had major wars in the past as opponents.

00:19:23But they put it aside for one night this past week on Raw.

00:19:27Hey, calm down you moron.

00:19:38Hey, the people's champ being wooed by the people.

00:19:49Finally, The Rock has come back to Worcester.

00:19:54Mankind, you talk about The Rock like we're friends.

00:20:08You talk about The Rock like The Rock is gonna invite you down to Miami so we can have Christmas dinner.

00:20:13Well, The Rock says this, you may be The Rock's partner.

00:20:18We're not friends.

00:20:19We probably never will be friends.

00:20:21But The Rock recognizes that you are without a shadow but doubt the craziest son of a bitch The Rock has ever seen.

00:20:28I knew The Rock was too smart to ever like an idiot like Mankind.

00:20:35Doesn't matter if he likes him.

00:20:39Put your hand down and come here.

00:20:45Let The Rock make one thing perfectly clear to you right here, right now.

00:20:50Is don't you ever.

00:20:53And The Rock means.

00:20:55Ever.

00:20:57Talk about The Rock's testicles again.

00:21:00Yeah, there you go.

00:21:01I think it was a compliment for Mankind.

00:21:08What now?

00:21:13Well, playtime's over, King.

00:21:16Cuz there's the co-owner of the WWF, Shane McMahon.

00:21:19Oh boy.

00:21:20Along with the WWF Champion, Triple H.

00:21:23And the ninth wonder of the world, China.

00:21:26The number one contender in the Intercontinental title.

00:21:30What in the world is gonna happen here tonight on SmackDown?

00:21:42Hey, come on.

00:21:43Let's have disrespect to these people in Worcester are.

00:21:45Congratulations to you both, Rock and Mankind, and becoming the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions.

00:21:54And in doing so, have reached an unbelievable accolade here in the WWF.

00:21:59However, I believe the two of you are not quite focused on that accolade.

00:22:04No, no, no.

00:22:05What you're focused on happens to be around the waist of Triple H.

00:22:09And that is the World Wrestling Federation Championship.

00:22:13Shayna's right.

00:22:14Now, unfortunately, last Monday night, the two of you were unable to obtain victory in your respective matchups.

00:22:25However, gentlemen, we still need a number one contender to take on the WWF Champion at Unforgiven.

00:22:35So therefore, tonight in that very ring, it's gonna be The Rock versus Mankind because I believe in second chances.

00:22:44Whoa, tonight.

00:22:45To find out who will be the number one contender.

00:22:48So the tag team champs are gonna have to face one another.

00:22:53And Rock and Mankind, we wanna see a Rock and Mankind of old,

00:22:57taking it to the next level with that matchup.

00:23:00We don't wanna see Powderpuff because of your newfound friendship.

00:23:03No, no, no, no.

00:23:04Because if you two deliver Powderpuff, then tomorrow morning,

00:23:07both of you will start your six-month suspension.

00:23:11Wow, suspension?

00:23:15And as it relates to the WWF Champion, Triple H, we're out here to prove to the world

00:23:20that you were the fightingest champion in WWF history.

00:23:24So tonight, Triple H, you will be putting the WWF title on the line.

00:23:29Tonight?

00:23:30In that very ring against a man who is no stranger to WWF gold.

00:23:35We're gonna prove to the world, Triple H, that you are the game.

00:23:39And tonight, Triple H, you're gonna take on that bald-headed SOB.

00:23:43What?

00:23:44And that's the bottom line because Shane McMahon said so.

00:23:48My God, could it be?

00:23:50Could it be?

00:23:52Wait a minute, why is Shane doing this to Triple H?

00:23:55Triple H is livid.

00:23:56I don't, my, tonight on SmackDown.

00:24:00I don't know if you probably do remember, but the last time Mankind was in Worcester,

00:24:06he walked away with your WWF title.

00:24:13I remember that.

00:24:15So what I'm thinking is that there is nothing that the dozens of Mankind's fans would like better than to see The Rock kind of make Mankind look good right here in Worcester.

00:24:29You know what I mean?

00:24:31What does he mean?

00:24:32Well, he wants The Rock to help him out a little bit in the match.

00:24:35Make him look good.

00:24:36Take it easy on him?

00:24:37Are you crazy?

00:24:38Did you hear what Shane said?

00:24:39They'll be suspended for six months if they don't go at it tooth and nail.

00:24:42These people smell what The Rock's cooking.

00:24:55Are you insinuating to The Rock that tonight in front of the millions of Rock's fans he should just lay down and let you beat him?

00:25:09That's what he means.

00:25:12Yes.

00:25:13Idiot.

00:25:19That sounds cool to Mankind.

00:25:22But something that seems a little bit more cooler is The Rock will take your little WWF Tag Team title belt.

00:25:39Uh-oh.

00:25:40Here we go.

00:25:42Shine it up real nice.

00:25:47Turn it sideways and stick it straight up your KBS.

00:25:52The Rock means business.

00:25:54I gotta be honest with you Rock, I don't think it's gonna fit.

00:26:06I don't know about that.

00:26:10Well The Rock says not only will that belt fit, The Rock will take this belt, stick it up your ass.

00:26:17If you smell what The Rock is cooking.

00:26:27So the WWF Tag Team Champions will go one on one tonight.

00:26:34The winner to be number one contender for the World Wrestling Federation Championship September 26 at Unforgiven.

00:26:42And King, they've gotta battle it out where there could be a six month suspension on the line.

00:26:46Exactly, I can tell you right now, the old days will come back.

00:26:50These guys really hate each other deep down inside when we're talking about the WWF title being at stake.

00:26:56I can't wait to see what The Rock is gonna do to that bum man guy.

00:26:59Do you remember the I Quit match?

00:27:01Yes.

00:27:02The Last Man Standing match.

00:27:03Yes.

00:27:04And how about this Shane McMahon says Triple H must defend the WWF title here tonight on SmackDown.

00:27:09And could Triple H's opponent be in this limo here in the Worcester Centrum?

00:27:13I still can't figure out what Shane is doing to Triple H.

00:27:17The bald headed SOB is here.

00:27:20Hey King, as we said before-

00:27:21Hey, wait, wait, wait.

00:27:22What is this?

00:27:23Wait a minute now.

00:27:24That's ringing out to Tony Chimmel.

00:27:26Give me that microphone.

00:27:27And it's Howard Finkel.

00:27:28Chimmel, Chimmel, Chimmel, Chimmel.

00:27:31My goodness, we meet again, don't we?

00:27:33Last week, you humiliated me like I've never been humiliated before.

00:27:42Don't stand for it.

00:27:44And this week, I have a little proposal for you, my friend.

00:27:49One that I'm sure you will not refuse.

00:27:53Wait a minute.

00:27:54Don't tell me Howard's gonna propose.

00:27:55You see what you're wearing?

00:27:56You see what I'm wearing?

00:27:57It's a tuxedo.

00:27:59It's a tool of the trade.

00:28:01It's what ring announcers wear.

00:28:03However, my challenge to you, Chimmel, is simple.

00:28:10A challenge to a tuxedo match.

00:28:15And also, pal, I'll add a little stipulation to this, okay?

00:28:20If I win the, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:28:23When I win this match, I will resume what is rightfully mine in this ring,

00:28:30doing what I know best, ring announcing.

00:28:33So what do you think, Chimmel?

00:28:36Howard, I don't know who sent you back here, but why don't you just go back to the dressing room, all right?

00:28:45Chimmel's afraid.

00:28:47Gang, Jericho has the Fink brainwashed.

00:28:48Chimmel's afraid.

00:28:49Jericho's gotten into Howard Finkel's head.

00:28:52Well, if you don't wanna take the challenge up, and you want me to leave, I guess I have no choice.

00:28:58I want you to save face there, pal.

00:29:00Done deal.

00:29:01No problem.

00:29:02What?

00:29:03How about the Fink?

00:29:04Wait a minute.

00:29:05Yeah.

00:29:06And Finkel with a forearm from behind, and here we go with a tuxedo match.

00:29:11This is great.

00:29:12Tear it off.

00:29:13Look at that.

00:29:14Sleeve already off the tuxedo with Tony Chimmel and Howard Finkel.

00:29:19What else is gonna come off though?

00:29:21I'll tell you, I shuddered his back.

00:29:23No.

00:29:24And Chimmel's taking down Finkel now, and here Chimmel goes.

00:29:27Hey, wait, wait.

00:29:28Hey, put the boots to him.

00:29:30And there's Chris Jericho.

00:29:33Jericho in the backstage area looking on.

00:29:36He's got confidence in Howard, he knows that Howard will come out on top of this.

00:29:40King, you know Howard Finkel's starving for attention, he's just like a kid.

00:29:43No one's paid attention to Howard.

00:29:44He's been in this company 20 years, and he feels he's being ignored.

00:29:48Chris Jericho's the only one paying any attention to Howard.

00:29:50Hey, wait a minute.

00:29:51And Tony Chimmel now, look at Jericho laughing.

00:29:54That don't matter.

00:29:55I mean, Jericho, he's still no.

00:29:58Howard's got him right where he wants him.

00:30:00Get up, Howard.

00:30:01Right where he wants him.

00:30:02He ripped the sleeve off.

00:30:04Well, Chimmel's got the tuck shirt off, the suspenders, and the t-shirts about to follow.

00:30:08And can you imagine Howard in his skeebies?

00:30:10Man.

00:30:14Howard Finkel asked for it.

00:30:17Okay.

00:30:18No, no, wait a minute.

00:30:19The plans.

00:30:20That's enough, Chimmel.

00:30:21Chimmel, you win.

00:30:22That's enough.

00:30:23He's got a red underwear.

00:30:25Red underwear, red underpants.

00:30:28Look.

00:30:29Tony Chimmel humiliating and embarrassing Howard Finkel.

00:30:32No.

00:30:33I think I see a skid mark on those.

00:30:36Look at that.

00:30:38Look at his underwear.

00:30:40My gosh.

00:30:42Man.

00:30:43Howard Finkel has been stripped to his red underwear and Tony Chimmel rubbing salt in the wound.

00:30:51Yeah, that'll leave a mark, Howard.

00:30:53And Chris Jericho's enjoying himself backstage.

00:30:55Did you say rubbing salt in the wound?

00:30:57In the wound.

00:30:58Oh, this is sad.

00:31:00Get out of there, Howard.

00:31:02You know, Chris Jericho, come on now.

00:31:04Look at Howard looks like a- This is enough.

00:31:05Howard looks like a beach quail.

00:31:07Well, Tony Chimmel wins the tuxedo match.

00:31:10Listen to me.

00:31:11I need to do this by myself tonight.

00:31:13This Kane's little buddy crap, I'm sick of it.

00:31:16No more of that, man.

00:31:18So you need to stay back here.

00:31:20I don't care what happens out there.

00:31:22You need to stay back here or it's over.

00:31:24I'm sick of being the weak link.

00:31:27And I'm sick of letting you down, man.

00:31:29Sick of it.

00:31:30Oh, X-Pac and Kane in the backstage area.

00:31:34And there's the world's most dangerous man, Ken Shamrock.

00:31:37He has entered the Worcester Centrum.

00:31:39Could Chris Jericho be on Ken Shamrock's mind after what Jericho said about Shamrock on Raw?

00:31:44Right now, here's Lillian Garcia.

00:31:46Mankind, it is obvious that you must have mixed feelings.

00:31:49I mean, you and The Rock are tag team champions, but tonight Shane McMahon is forcing you to compete against your partner.

00:31:56Shane McMahon has put me in a very unenviable position.

00:31:59And that is to face a man who's not just a tag team partner to me, but is more like a brother.

00:32:05But the rewards on the other end are so great, so I hope The Rock understands that I do respect the great one.

00:32:11I do look up to the great one.

00:32:13But the reality is, the last time we were in Worcester, Massachusetts, it was Mankind who stepped away with the WWF goal.

00:32:20So now I'm in a position where I can qualify for a title shot in this very same arena.

00:32:25And I'm not going to pretend, and I'm not a little bit disturbed about that whole felt thing,

00:32:30but I'm going to do my very best to make sure that that particular transaction doesn't transpire.

00:32:37And if you can't be talking about Austin, there's no way he would do that.

00:32:41I don't think he is, honey.

00:32:43We can trust Shane.

00:32:45Can we?

00:32:46I don't know who to trust anymore around here.

00:32:49And folks, during the break, an interesting proposal from Chris Jericho to Howard Finkel.

00:32:55Interesting, unbelievable.

00:32:56He did a great job.

00:32:57It's obvious that he had to cheat to beat you.

00:32:59He had him exactly where he wanted him.

00:33:00I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

00:33:01I know some big wigs in Madison Avenue.

00:33:03What do you think of a Y2 jockey nationwide ad campaign?

00:33:07I mean, you're looking great.

00:33:08You're looking good.

00:33:09Your body's looking good.

00:33:10I think that might work, Michael.

00:33:13Oh, please, King.

00:33:14How is this?

00:33:16And it's not.

00:33:17You think you can tell us what to do?

00:33:19Yeah.

00:33:20You think you can tell us what to win?

00:33:22You think you're better?

00:33:24Yeah.

00:33:25Well, you better get ready to bow to the master.

00:33:29And here comes X-Pac.

00:33:31The capacity crowd in the Worcester Centrum on their feet here on SmackDown on UPN.

00:33:40And X-Pac gonna have his hands full this week with Chris Jericho.

00:33:45Jericho on SmackDown last week is in ring debut, destroying the Rogue Dog.

00:33:51Well, the Rogue Dog always claimed he liked to do it doggy style.

00:33:54Woo-hoo!

00:33:55Well, he got it doggy style from Chris Jericho.

00:33:58He had his own personal doggy Y2J problems.

00:34:01The Rogue Dog suffered a crush and ruptured disc in his back.

00:34:04He'll be out for a few weeks because of the attack.

00:34:07But Chris Jericho, folks, was far from through.

00:34:11Uh-oh.

00:34:12Later on, he bumped into Ken Shamrock and then came a sneak attack.

00:34:15And I'll tell you what, Chris Jericho not making too many friends here in the WWF.

00:34:20What does a guy like Chris Jericho need with rims?

00:34:23He's got Howard Binkle.

00:34:25Please.

00:34:26X-Pac, tremendous heart.

00:34:30Takes on Chris Jericho tonight on SmackDown.

00:34:34I'll tell you, he's been battling in the land of the Giants as of late.

00:34:38But he never gives up, he never gives in.

00:34:42Uh-oh.

00:34:43Get ready.

00:34:56He calls himself the Ayatollah of Rock and Roller.

00:35:07He calls SmackDown his show.

00:35:14He's Chris Jericho.

00:35:18He's here to save the WWF.

00:35:22Yeah, that's what he said.

00:35:27Speaking of trailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada,

00:35:31weighing in at 233 pounds, Chris Jericho.

00:35:36You gotta love that hairdo, Michael.

00:35:38He gets that something about Mary thing going there.

00:35:41Well, he calls it the European style.

00:35:43Chris Jericho blindsided Ken Shamrock as we showed you last week on SmackDown.

00:35:48And then on, wait a minute.

00:35:50Speaking of Ken Shamrock, here comes The World's Most Dangerous Man.

00:35:55Wait a minute, Ken, we got a match to take place out here.

00:35:58Well, he's making a beeline for the ring and Jericho's in his sight.

00:36:02Now, what's X-Pac doing?

00:36:03Well, X-Pac in front of Shamrock now.

00:36:06I can't, what's he saying?

00:36:14Well, Shamrock just said he wanted Jericho.

00:36:19But this matches Jericho against X-Pac.

00:36:23Well, I think X-Pac's asking Shamrock here, Ken, to pick off.

00:36:26X-Pac wants Jericho because it's about revenge for X-Pac's good friend and partner Road Dogg.

00:36:34And a spinning heel kick.

00:36:35And X-Pac starting things off against Y2J, Chris Jericho.

00:36:40Here's X-Pac now off the ropes, great shoulder takedown.

00:36:43And X-Pac now flying high.

00:36:45Jericho went for the hip toss, nice counter by X-Pac.

00:36:47Kick to the midsection.

00:36:48Jericho misses with the right hand.

00:36:51And X-Pac now with a tremendous suplex.

00:36:54Here's a quick cover now.

00:36:55Count of one, two, and a kick out by Jericho.

00:36:58Keep in mind, King, what X-Pac said before the break.

00:37:01He told Kane to stay out of this match no matter what happened.

00:37:04Uh-oh, look at this.

00:37:05Man.

00:37:06No matter what?

00:37:07Well, Undertaker and Big Show now on the ramp taking this all in.

00:37:12And what are they doing out here?

00:37:13What do you mean?

00:37:14You talked about the-

00:37:15Man.

00:37:16Drop kick Jericho off the top rope.

00:37:19Are you all right?

00:37:20You talked about the land of the Giants where X-Pac's been living lately.

00:37:24Oh, yeah.

00:37:25Oh, wow.

00:37:26Missed for the baseball slide, tremendous agility to stay on his feet,

00:37:28but he paid for it with a clothesline by Jericho.

00:37:31Well, I guarantee you when X-Pac looks back there and sees-

00:37:34Oh, man.

00:37:35The Undertaker and the Big Show, he gets feet five foot.

00:37:37Oh, that's a fear of Giants.

00:37:39X-Pac into those steel stairs as the Big Show and the Undertaker look on.

00:37:43Chris Jericho showboating in the ring.

00:37:46He says he's here to-

00:37:47He's not showboating.

00:37:48He's impressive.

00:37:49Well, he says he's here to save the World Wrestling Federation.

00:37:52I think he can.

00:37:53He did a number on Road Dog last week and he's taking an X-Pac right now.

00:37:56Jericho now setting X-Pac up.

00:38:02Stanflex middle of the ring.

00:38:05Hey!

00:38:06The Big Show and the Undertaker and look at that look on the Undertaker's face.

00:38:10Here's the cover now.

00:38:11Nonchalant cover and you're not gonna beat X-Pac that way.

00:38:14X-Pac has too much heart to go out that easy.

00:38:17Yeah, I know.

00:38:18I remember the Big Show couldn't even defeat X-Pac that way.

00:38:22Undertaker and Big Show look on.

00:38:24X-Pac now battling back.

00:38:25Misses right hand.

00:38:26Jericho again to the midsection.

00:38:27Look at this now.

00:38:28Oh, a backbreaker.

00:38:29That's what he did to the Road Dog.

00:38:31And Road Dog suffered a ruptured disc in his back and he's out of action for

00:38:34at least a few weeks.

00:38:36Here's a cover by Jericho.

00:38:37Hooks the leg this time.

00:38:38There's two and X-Pac kicks out again.

00:38:41What a night it's been here tonight on SmackDown, folks.

00:38:44Later on, the Rock and Mankind will meet to determine the number one contender

00:38:47for the WWF title.

00:38:48Yeah, these guys are tag team partners.

00:38:51Chris Jericho now top rope.

00:38:53X-Pac in trouble.

00:38:54Here comes Jericho now.

00:38:55Y2J's gonna fly and he catches a boot to the jaw.

00:39:00Jericho never saw it coming.

00:39:01Don't forget tonight here on SmackDown we're still gonna see Triple H defend his title

00:39:05against that bald-headed SOB.

00:39:08And here comes X-Pac now.

00:39:10The momentum.

00:39:11Spinning heel kick caught Jericho under the chin.

00:39:14I'll tell you, X-Pac, what resiliency.

00:39:17Whipped off the ropes now.

00:39:18Jericho misses.

00:39:19Here comes the kid now.

00:39:20Caught him.

00:39:21Okay, I'll give X-Pac a little credit.

00:39:22He's resilient.

00:39:23Cover now.

00:39:24Two.

00:39:25Could he be?

00:39:26No.

00:39:27Kick out by Jericho after two.

00:39:28But he couldn't hang in the land of the giants.

00:39:29That's why he got so down on himself.

00:39:30Well, he's not battling a giant here.

00:39:32He's battling Chris Jericho.

00:39:33He's doing well, but he walked into that one.

00:39:35And Jericho now.

00:39:37Move off the second rope.

00:39:39On to X-Pac.

00:39:40Cover now.

00:39:41Hooks the leg.

00:39:42Two.

00:39:43And again, X-Pac kicks out.

00:39:44I'll never forgive X-Pac for what he did to Kane.

00:39:47What was that?

00:39:48I don't know.

00:39:49He made him a human being.

00:39:51They're best friends.

00:39:52And what a kick to the face.

00:39:54And X-Pac now.

00:39:55You know what this means?

00:39:57Yeah, I do.

00:39:58Bronco Buster time for X-Pac.

00:40:00And Jericho's feeling it.

00:40:02How does that feel, Y2J?

00:40:04Uh-oh, look at this.

00:40:05Uh-oh.

00:40:06Well, here it comes.

00:40:07Talk about feeling that show.

00:40:08And what is the Big Show getting involved in this for?

00:40:11He's got no business being out here.

00:40:13And what a clothesline.

00:40:15X-Pac had Jericho right where he wanted him.

00:40:19And the Big Show came down to the ring.

00:40:22And he's now gonna dismantle X-Pac.

00:40:25Look at this.

00:40:26That's a long way there.

00:40:28Man.

00:40:29Wow.

00:40:30And Big Show just.

00:40:33Wait a minute.

00:40:34Look at this.

00:40:35Jericho is at the commentary position.

00:40:36Shamrock's after Jericho.

00:40:38Ken Shamrock chasing Jericho through the crowd.

00:40:42Look at this.

00:40:43And the Big Show is dismantling X-Pac.

00:40:47Uh-oh.

00:40:48And keep in mind what X-Pac told his friend Kane.

00:40:52The Big Show with that killer instinct.

00:40:55Look at it, it's Kane.

00:40:56And there's Kane.

00:40:57And there's Kane.

00:40:58Our favorite machine.

00:41:00Can't run away on Big Show.

00:41:02Coming out to help his friend X-Pac.

00:41:04No!

00:41:05And Kane knocks Big Show over the top rope.

00:41:07I can't believe it.

00:41:09Joe, Joe.

00:41:12Uh-oh.

00:41:13He'll have his day.

00:41:15Come on.

00:41:16Kane, look at you, you're pathetic.

00:41:21The weaker he becomes, the weaker you become.

00:41:27And the weaker you become, the more vulnerable you become.

00:41:32Don't forget it.

00:41:34Come on now.

00:41:36What do you mean, come on now?

00:41:37Truer words were never spoken.

00:41:39The Undertaker is playing on Kane's emotions.

00:41:41He's toying with him.

00:41:42He's trying to stir him up.

00:41:43Kane just came out King to help his best friend.

00:41:48Wow.

00:41:49Man.

00:41:50The Undertaker with words for his little brother Kane.

00:41:53Words of wisdom, you better listen, Kane.

00:41:56Idiots.

00:41:57Kane, come on.

00:41:58Hey.

00:41:59Triple H in China.

00:42:00Shane.

00:42:01Triple H is livid.

00:42:02He's furious.

00:42:03He wasn't planning on defending the WWF title tonight.

00:42:07And he doesn't even know who his opponent could be.

00:42:09Well, I guarantee his opponent is right there in that big long black limousine.

00:42:14Is it Stone Cold?

00:42:15Could it be Austin?

00:42:16Could it be Austin?

00:42:17We're back here on SmackDown and

00:42:21Ken Shamrock is destroying the locker room area in hot pursuit of Chris Jericho.

00:42:27Well, Jericho has obviously gotten away from Shamrock and he's hot.

00:42:32And speaking of hot, Triple H extremely upset that he has to defend the WWF Championship tonight.

00:42:38In a match set up by Shane McMahon.

00:42:41Shane said Triple H's opponent will be a bald head and SOB.

00:42:45And King, that can only mean the Rattlesnake.

00:42:47I know that.

00:42:48Triple H knows it.

00:42:49That's why he's so upset.

00:42:50Wait a minute, who's this?

00:42:55No chance.

00:42:57That's Shane McMahon's music.

00:42:59And here now comes the co-owner of the World Wrestling Generation.

00:43:04What?

00:43:05What?

00:43:06What?

00:43:07Is this some kind of double cross or what?

00:43:10I don't know, it could be, King.

00:43:13And Shane McMahon, if you can read lips, he just doesn't.

00:43:16What, don't you trust me?

00:43:18What is Shane McMahon doing here?

00:43:21Well, I just know that Triple H is concerned and rightly so.

00:43:24I think Triple H thought he could trust Shane until Shane pulls this tonight.

00:43:28You know, Triple H was shocked with Shane McMahon earlier on.

00:43:31And how he could defend his title tonight.

00:43:33Let's take it easy, Triple H.

00:43:34Let's take it easy.

00:43:35Now we're out here to find out, Triple H, are you the game?

00:43:41I personally believe you are.

00:43:43I believe you can take out anybody in the WWF.

00:43:46That's the reason why you are the WWF Champion.

00:43:49But that's what it's all about.

00:43:51It's all about the WWF Championship.

00:43:54And one thing my father did tell me, one thing he did teach me,

00:43:58is that you give everything to the fans.

00:44:01So tonight, Triple H, right here, why don't we bring out your opponent?

00:44:05Why don't we bring out that bald-headed SOB, so you can show the world who the WWF Champion is.

00:44:12Here he comes now.

00:44:14What?

00:44:19I can't believe this.

00:44:22We've been duped, it was a damn show.

00:44:24Wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:44:25There he is.

00:44:27My God, there's that bald-headed SOB.

00:44:31And he, look, he does have gold around his waist.

00:44:34He's the light heavyweight champion, Granit, Gilbert.

00:44:38He has more of WWF gold before, and he has bald, but it wasn't who we thought it was.

00:44:44Look at Triple H, yeah, it's real funny, guys.

00:44:47It is funny, come on, Michael Cole.

00:44:49Don't you find humor in the misfortunes of others?

00:44:52Watch it, watch it.

00:44:55That pyro is dangerous.

00:44:58So it's gonna be Gilbert Triple H for the WWF Championship.

00:45:03Is that what Shane's telling us?

00:45:05Well, I guess, but here's the big question.

00:45:07You think it's gonna be title against title?

00:45:10I don't think so.

00:45:12Well, we do know later on tonight that two individuals are gonna go at it,

00:45:16blood, sweat, and tears for a chance to be the number one contender for the WWF title.

00:45:21That's rocking mankind.

00:45:23They better go at it, or they'll be suspended for six months by the co-owner of the WWF

00:45:27Shane McMahon.

00:45:28Look at this guy.

00:45:29Give me a break.

00:45:30Whoa, he's kinda scary if you ask me.

00:45:33Triple H can't even believe it.

00:45:36But anything can happen here in the WWF.

00:45:38So you're knocking Gilbert.

00:45:39You think you can take Gilbert?

00:45:40I'm not saying that, King.

00:45:41I'm just saying he's the light heavyweight champ.

00:45:43He's not the league of Triple H.

00:45:45Look at that.

00:45:46Gilbert, yes, with a spear.

00:45:48What the?

00:45:49Gilbert surprising Triple H.

00:45:51All I can tell you is he who laughs last, laughs the loudest.

00:45:56Well, Gilbert face first into the mat that time.

00:45:59And now Shane's not exactly laughing.

00:46:01Neither is Triple H.

00:46:02Triple H's gonna take out some frustrations after suffering that spear.

00:46:06He's gonna hammer away now on Gilbert.

00:46:09I just can't get over the fact, King, that later on tonight,

00:46:13The Rock and Mankind are gonna put it all on the line for the opportunity to fight for

00:46:17the coveted WWF Championship.

00:46:19Yeah.

00:46:20Punch that bone, hit an SOB.

00:46:22And Shane McMahon pulls a stunt like this as Triple H shows no mercy on Gilbert.

00:46:28We've talked about that mean streak, that viciousness.

00:46:33And now we're being joined by Shane McMahon here in ringside.

00:46:36What's happening?

00:46:37What's happening?

00:46:38You think this is funny?

00:46:39No, no, I think this is Triple H's title defense here.

00:46:43It's all about the WWF Championship.

00:46:45Come on, come on.

00:46:46Let's talk about who's gonna be the number one contender.

00:46:48Now, if Gilbert so happens to beat Triple H, then Gilbert will either face The Rock or

00:46:53Mankind and are forgiven.

00:46:55And what a spear by Gilbert.

00:46:58What was that?

00:46:59Get on Triple H.

00:47:01And another one.

00:47:02And Gilbert has got his eyes on the prize here.

00:47:05Hey, Shane, wait a minute.

00:47:06Could the impossible thing happen here tonight?

00:47:08No, no, no, no, no.

00:47:09Yeah.

00:47:10Ooh, how does that feel?

00:47:11That's definitely gonna leave a mark.

00:47:14Ooh, now.

00:47:15And it's Pedigree time.

00:47:16Now, could this be Mankind?

00:47:18Could this be Rock?

00:47:19Wait, it really doesn't matter because that's the end result right there.

00:47:23Yeah.

00:47:24Triple H, one, two, and three count.

00:47:26Beautiful.

00:47:27Shane, the bottom line is Gilbert is no Rock or Mankind.

00:47:30Shut up, that was a hot and consistent match.

00:47:33That was tough.

00:47:35Hey, what are you talking about?

00:47:36Good getting the job done.

00:47:38You did that for the fans.

00:47:39That was one of the best matches I've ever done on SmackDown.

00:47:43Well, Triple H.

00:47:45Uh-oh.

00:47:46Wait a minute.

00:47:47Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:47:48Triple H with a chair, come on now.

00:47:49Shane, this is uncalled for.

00:47:50Hey, Triple H is on his own mission.

00:47:52Man, referee.

00:47:53Call for the ref.

00:47:54Uh-oh.

00:47:55That's it.

00:47:57Triple H is determined.

00:48:00Just like Stone Cold.

00:48:03Hold on.

00:48:04This is what Triple H did to Stone Cold after the main event at SummerSlam.

00:48:07That whole match was a message to Austin.

00:48:09Well, King, there's that limousine again.

00:48:11We thought perhaps it may be the opponent for Triple H.

00:48:14Well, it wasn't.

00:48:15So who's in the limo now?

00:48:16That's the question.

00:48:17Well, I don't know who's in the limo.

00:48:20I thought, like you, I thought Stone Cold Steve Austin was in the limo.

00:48:23Well, King, I'll tell you what.

00:48:25Al Snow has been a distraught and a desperate man as of late.

00:48:29Heartbroken because of the abduction of his dog, Pepper.

00:48:32Well, without a doubt.

00:48:33I mean, you know, Pepper is Al Snow's closest friend.

00:48:36Big Boss Man abducted Pepper.

00:48:39It was a dog napping.

00:48:40And Al Snow has been, I mean, he's been heart sick ever since.

00:48:43And you know, Boss Man asking for ransom.

00:48:45And what Boss Man did was he said, Al Snow, you can be a hardcore title shot.

00:48:48I'll give you back Pepper.

00:48:49The only problem was Boss Man didn't uphold his end of the bargain.

00:48:53No, he took the hardcore title, plus he took Pepper after the match was over.

00:48:57But you know what?

00:48:58Al, he continued to beg, and I think that Boss Man's seen the error of his ways.

00:49:02I once had a little dog when I was a kid that ran away.

00:49:04I figured out a way to make this whole thing up to you.

00:49:07You come to my hotel, you find my room next Thursday.

00:49:11I will personally hand you Pepper.

00:49:14Well, King Al Snow did go to the Big Boss Man's hotel room earlier today.

00:49:18We have footage.

00:49:19We haven't seen it yet.

00:49:20It was shot earlier today.

00:49:21But I can tell you this.

00:49:22It was a happy reunion between Al Snow and his dog Pepper.

00:49:26Well, it's about time.

00:49:27That's good.

00:49:28Can we see it?

00:49:29I just want the dog.

00:49:30Don't touch me, please.

00:49:31All right?

00:49:32I just want my dog.

00:49:33You don't have to get hot.

00:49:34The dog's at the groomers.

00:49:35I'm having you cleaned up.

00:49:36He's going to look nice for you.

00:49:37The groomer's great.

00:49:38He doesn't have any hair.

00:49:39Just have a seat.

00:49:40What?

00:49:41I don't want to sit down, Ray.

00:49:42I went to a lot of trouble, Al.

00:49:43I'm going to make sure I do the right thing here.

00:49:45Do the right thing.

00:49:46The right thing would be give me back my friend.

00:49:48Well, I am, Al.

00:49:50You just got to trust me.

00:49:52You know, I've got the finest food mass of Jesus.

00:49:54You don't understand what that dog means to me.

00:49:56Yeah, I do.

00:49:57I had a dog when I was a kid.

00:49:58I understand.

00:49:59I told you I could sympathize with you.

00:50:00What are you doing?

00:50:01I don't want to eat, Ray.

00:50:02I didn't come here to eat.

00:50:03Al, just eat the food and let me do the right thing here.

00:50:06Do the right thing.

00:50:07Give me the dog.

00:50:08That's, you know.

00:50:09He's on his way.

00:50:10You bring him.

00:50:11You just got to trust me, Al.

00:50:12I'm here, aren't I?

00:50:13Ray, if I eat the food, will that make you happy and then you can give me the dog?

00:50:17Oh, yeah.

00:50:18You're giving me a chance.

00:50:19Do what's right.

00:50:20I'll do whatever you want.

00:50:21Just, please.

00:50:22Just give me the dog.

00:50:23Because you're supposed to give me the dog.

00:50:24Right?

00:50:25Oh.

00:50:26God.

00:50:27How do you like it, Al?

00:50:28Aren't you going to have any?

00:50:29Oh, yeah.

00:50:30I'm going to have a lot of it.

00:50:32How's it taste?

00:50:33I don't know.

00:50:34Well, it's not bad.

00:50:35Can you cook it yourself?

00:50:37Uncle Harry, a restaurant I know down in Boston, cooked it.

00:50:41But will you do me a favor?

00:50:43Try not to get one of them paws stuck in your teeth.

00:50:49That's right, Al.

00:50:50100% grade A pepper.

00:50:54No, no.

00:50:55What's the matter, Al?

00:50:57You don't like pepper?

00:50:58You don't like the way pepper tastes?

00:51:00You don't like the way pepper looks?

00:51:02Huh?

00:51:03You don't like pepper?

00:51:04Huh?

00:51:05What's the matter with you, boy?

00:51:06Huh?

00:51:07Huh?

00:51:08You don't like the way pepper tastes?

00:51:09Huh?

00:51:10You don't like...

00:51:11No way.

00:51:12Pepper's not going to take an elevator today.

00:51:14You're going to eat every damn bite of the little son of a bitch.

00:51:17I told you if he bit me again, I was going to stand him straight to hell.

00:51:20Huh?

00:51:21You understand me, Al?

00:51:22Huh?

00:51:23You understand me, what this is all about?

00:51:25This is hardcore.

00:51:26And you can damn well bet.

00:51:28Huh?

00:51:29You can damn well bet.

00:51:30Huh?

00:51:31Yeah, I'm hardcore all the way.

00:51:33I told you pepper was going to live with you for the rest of his life.

00:51:36Huh?

00:51:37Unless you go to the poop shooter or something.

00:51:39Huh?

00:51:40Understand me.

00:51:41Al, and I am hardcore.

00:51:43Pepper's a little and you're a dull son of a .

00:51:49And that's what hardcore is all about.

00:51:51Can you dig that?

00:51:55Yeah, tastes like chicken.

00:51:58Oh.

00:52:00Oh my God.

00:52:01Oh my.

00:52:02King.

00:52:03What?

00:52:04Boss Man.

00:52:05Boss Man is.

00:52:06No, wait a minute.

00:52:07He.

00:52:08Al Snow was eating.

00:52:10Pepper's steak.

00:52:12Oh my God.

00:52:13Boss Man is sick.

00:52:14This is.

00:52:15I can't believe it.

00:52:16He's sadistic.

00:52:17I mean.

00:52:19I don't even know.

00:52:21I cannot.

00:52:22Anyhow, we're back at the center of King.

00:52:24Jericho, come on.

00:52:25Ken Shamrock is still searching for Chris Jericho back in the locker room area.

00:52:34And here we go now, King.

00:52:36I, I, wow.

00:52:39The number one contendership as we get our mind back on action.

00:52:44The winner of this match to beat the champion at Unforgiven.

00:52:48Animal Determine, the number one contender for the World Wrestling Federation Championship in the ring.

00:52:54He weighs in at 297 pounds.

00:52:57One half of the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions, Mankind.

00:53:04Well, King, last week on Raw, Shane McMahon ordered Mankind to meet the Mean Street Posse in a handicap match.

00:53:10Yeah.

00:53:11And if Mankind won, he'd get a shot at the WWF title.

00:53:14But once again, Mankind was screwed by Shane McMahon.

00:53:17No, no, no, you got it all wrong.

00:53:19Mankind screwed himself.

00:53:20The stipulation was if Mankind touched the special referee, which was Shane, Mankind would be disqualified.

00:53:27And maybe it was a debatable call, but you can't put your hands on an official.

00:53:33King, he had every provocation to, Shane did kill.

00:53:35You smell what The Rock is doing.

00:53:40And his opponent, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 275 pounds.

00:53:46One half of the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions, The Rock.

00:53:53And King, what a war this is gonna be, The Rock versus Mankind.

00:53:57And The Rock had the chance to be the number one contender as well on Raw this past Monday night.

00:54:02One-on-one against The Undertaker set up by Shane.

00:54:06But The Undertaker told Big Show to do the deal.

00:54:09The Undertaker joined you on color commentary, and he distracted The Rock.

00:54:13Come on.

00:54:14Let's just see if that's exactly what happened.

00:54:17I don't see any distraction.

00:54:19I just see The Big Show choked by The Rock.

00:54:22Whoa, look at this thing.

00:54:23And here we go now, Rock and Mankind in the middle of the ring, going at it.

00:54:27The winner of this match to be the number one contender will meet the WWF Champion Triple H at Unforgiven in Charlotte on September 26th.

00:54:36Come on, you guys, give it everything you got.

00:54:37If you don't- Whoa, whoa, don't come over here.

00:54:39Right out here at ringside now, Rock and Mankind.

00:54:42These two, don't forget, are each part of the WWF Tag Team Champions.

00:54:47Well, you know what, speaking of champions, it could have been one of these two guys, The Rock or Mankind.

00:54:51They could have been facing Gilbert at Unforgiven.

00:54:53And Rock now hammering away on Mankind.

00:54:55These two have had classic battles in the past.

00:54:57No, Rock's world.

00:54:58Who will ever forget, can the I quit match?

00:55:01I don't.

00:55:02The last man standing match.

00:55:03I remember.

00:55:04How about halftime heat of the Super Bowl?

00:55:06That was cool.

00:55:07Man, Rock with a tremendous suplex on Mankind.

00:55:11Put it on him, Rob.

00:55:12If you don't, you might get suspended by Shane.

00:55:14Uh-oh.

00:55:16The Rock now in control of Mankind.

00:55:18Keep in mind.

00:55:19If they don't lay the smack down on each other, like King said, they will serve six months

00:55:24.

00:55:25But I don't think we have to worry about that.

00:55:26I think that was the smack being laid down right there.

00:55:29Both of these men, partners, tag team champions.

00:55:33But they have a burning desire to again be WWF champions.

00:55:37Who does?

00:55:38That's what this is all about.

00:55:39I don't think you gotta worry about these guys being partners after tonight.

00:55:42They're gonna hate each other.

00:55:44They already hate each other.

00:55:45To Mankind.

00:55:46They have mutual respect for each other, King.

00:55:49Look out.

00:55:50My, neat steel chairs, Rock.

00:55:54Rock's shoulder first into the steel chairs.

00:55:57Those aren't chairs, those are steps, you moron, Michael Cole.

00:56:00And both of these men, once WWF champions.

00:56:06What do you want?

00:56:07Headset.

00:56:08Give me your headset, Michael.

00:56:09I didn't want to have to do it, but The Rock has forced my hand.

00:56:13And now- Look out.

00:56:17Tell him, Rock.

00:56:18The Rock says, you wanna be a phrase-stealer?

00:56:20Well, here's for the dozens.

00:56:22And dozens.

00:56:25Hit him harder.

00:56:26Well, I don't think The Rock's gotta worry about being suspended.

00:56:32He's pulling out all the stops.

00:56:34The Rock back into the ring now with Mankind.

00:56:37And here comes The Rock hammering away.

00:56:39The Rock believes he should be the number one contender.

00:56:42Mankind has something to say about that.

00:56:44Double R DDT in the middle of the ring.

00:56:47My gosh, The Rock just got checked into the SmackDown Hotel himself.

00:56:51Mankind- No, no, no, please not this.

00:56:54It's Mr. Socko time.

00:56:56That stinking sock.

00:56:57And The Rock's gonna have a mouthful of sock from Mankind.

00:57:01Do you realize where that sock has been?

00:57:03Well, Socko in the gullet of The Rock, and The Rock inadvertently hitting the referee

00:57:08as he struggled with the man of applause.

00:57:10Hey, wait a minute.

00:57:11What? That's Shane McMahon.

00:57:12Shane McMahon just rolled the referee out.

00:57:15Boy, I'm telling you, this is great.

00:57:17Shane is a special referee again.

00:57:19Well, Socko in the mouth of The Rock as the fans come along.

00:57:22Look out.

00:57:23Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom.

00:57:26The Rock just planted Mankind.

00:57:28Hey, what?

00:57:29Who's Shane doing?

00:57:30Who's Shane calling for?

00:57:32What's he doing?

00:57:33Come on now.

00:57:34It's China.

00:57:35It's the WWF champion, Triple H and his sidekick.

00:57:39And Triple H hammering away on The Rock, China, and Mankind.

00:57:45Well, look, the referee can't see what's going on.

00:57:47Shane got something in his eye or something.

00:57:50And Shane's calling for the bell here.

00:57:53And here comes The Rock.

00:57:56The Rock can't run away on Triple H.

00:58:01But Shane McMahon has called for the bell.

00:58:05Who's the winner?

00:58:06Who's the number one contender?

00:58:08Will you shut up?

00:58:09Maybe Shane will tell us.

00:58:11Ladies and gentlemen, due to outside interference and my spell taking over as

00:58:16special guest referee, I declare this match a double disqualification.

00:58:22Come on.

00:58:23There is no winner.

00:58:24They both lost.

00:58:25Shane has screwed Mankind and The Rock again.

00:58:28That's what you got.

00:58:31We're back on SmackDown and Ken Shamrock still looking for Chris Jericho.

00:58:35Yeah, but he's got a match.

00:58:36He better be concentrating on that.

00:58:37Uh-oh.

00:58:38Is he in there?

00:58:39All right, now let's go to Lillian.

00:58:41She's got the co-owner with her.

00:58:43Shane McMahon, you've asked for this time, so now the floor is yours.

00:58:46I guess no one's smarting you up.

00:58:48I own the floor, so anytime I want, I just take.

00:58:51The reason for this interview is because I feel badly for what just happened to Rock and Mankind

00:58:55and my involvement in that, and I need to make it up to both of those individuals.

00:58:59But how can you possibly do that?

00:59:01I mean, with all due respect, you flat out screwed both of them.

00:59:04Hey, I just admitted I made a mistake, and I do owe Rock, and I do owe Mankind.

00:59:08I'm a compassionate man, and I always want to do the right thing.

00:59:11So excuse me while I go do that right thing for Rock and Mankind.

00:59:15Wow.

00:59:17Shane, a compassionate man?

00:59:19Yeah, of course.

00:59:20What a good guy.

00:59:21So he changed in five minutes.

00:59:23What are you talking about?

00:59:24Now let me ask you this.

00:59:25How many times have you seen an umpire blow a call in a baseball game?

00:59:29A number of times.

00:59:30Right.

00:59:31Have you ever seen one apologize?

00:59:33No, you haven't done.

00:59:35Scheduled for one fall.

00:59:36Making his way to the ring for Bluffs, Vegas, Nevada.

00:59:39Weighing in at 244 pounds, Valvina.

00:59:46And Valvina is set for one-on-one action.

00:59:48And tonight, folks, SmackDown is brought to you by 1-800-COLLECT, the easy way to save.

00:59:55And by Castrol, the official motor oil of the World Wrestling Federation.

01:00:09Ken Shamrock, the world's most dangerous man, is on his way to the ring.

01:00:13And he's holding it.

01:00:14He's holding it.

01:00:15He's holding it.

01:00:16He's holding it.

01:00:17He's holding it.

01:00:18He's holding it.

01:00:19He's holding it.

01:00:20He's holding it.

01:00:21Ken Shamrock.

01:00:23And Ken Shamrock is bent most of SmackDown looking for Chris Jericho.

01:00:27And Valvenus better hope that Shamrock doesn't take out his frustrations on him.

01:00:31Well, I'll just tell you this.

01:00:32It looks like Valvenus is not gonna have any problem with Shamrock because Shamrock's

01:00:36distracted.

01:00:37He's worried about Y2J problem.

01:00:39He's got a Valvenus problem.

01:00:40Didn't look distracted there.

01:00:41Nice leg takedown.

01:00:42Went for the ankle.

01:00:43Valvenus wisely slipping out under the ropes.

01:00:45And Ken Shamrock now in that zone as he chases Valvenus around the ring.

01:00:50And look at this.

01:00:51I knew it.

01:00:52I can see right now that Shamrock is so distracted he's gonna wind up with a little

01:00:56case of Venus Envy before this match is over.

01:00:59Valvenus, the consummate athlete, once an Intercontinental Champion.

01:01:03Hammering away on Ken Shamrock, there's the rake of the eyes.

01:01:06Shamrock off the ropes and he caught Val.

01:01:10Val telegraphing that one.

01:01:11Look out, Shamrock over the top rope.

01:01:14Valvenus in control.

01:01:17You're watching SmackDown on UPN every Thursday night.

01:01:21And what a show it's been so far.

01:01:23I wonder if Chris Jericho is watching this.

01:01:25I'm sure he is.

01:01:26Him and his Jericho-holic.

01:01:29Howard Finkel.

01:01:30Man, Valvenus whipped into the stairs.

01:01:34And Ken Shamrock now taking control of the big Valbowski.

01:01:39Shamrock outside the ring.

01:01:44You know, Chris Jericho had some inflammatory remarks about Shamrock on Raw this past week.

01:01:50He said he was gonna make Shamrock lick the grime off his boots.

01:01:53And look at Shamrock now.

01:01:54And now he starts to systematically pick apart that left leg of Valvenus.

01:02:00Shamrock snapping.

01:02:02And he's going for the ankle, and he's got it locked in.

01:02:05Shamrock with the ankle locked, locked in on Valvenus.

01:02:09And Valvenus is tapping out here.

01:02:11Anybody will tap out once Shamrock gets your ankle like that.

01:02:16And Ken Shamrock still has that ankle lock.

01:02:19Locked out on Valvenus and he's not gonna let him go.

01:02:22Hey, look at this.

01:02:23Wait a minute.

01:02:24Steve Blackman, the lethal weapon.

01:02:27Look out.

01:02:30And Shamrock turning the tables with those nunchucks on Steve Blackman.

01:02:34Look at the ref.

01:02:35No, what now?

01:02:37Jericho's coming down.

01:02:40It's Y2J time.

01:02:43I knew Jericho had a lot of guts.

01:02:45Uh-oh.

01:02:46Shamrock and Jericho are gonna get it on right now on SmackDown.

01:03:00You're right, King.

01:03:01Jericho has a hell of a lot of guts.

01:03:04He's gonna confront Shamrock one on one.

01:03:07Hey, Shamrock.

01:03:08Since you've decided you wanna be destroyed by Y2J,

01:03:13why don't you follow me out to the parking lot right now, Junior?

01:03:18And I will beat- What?

01:03:19A lesson into your lunk head that you will never, ever forget.

01:03:24Parking lot?

01:03:25What is he talking about?

01:03:26Well, Shamrock was born fighting in the streets, and he's going after Chris Jericho now.

01:03:31Steve Blackman with those nunchucks again.

01:03:33And he's hammering away on Valvenus now.

01:03:36Taking out frustrations on Valvenus.

01:03:39Uh-oh, here we go.

01:03:40And there it is, Shamrock heading out to the parking lot.

01:03:42Jericho's there.

01:03:43Shamrock, wait a minute.

01:03:45Wait a minute.

01:03:46It's Howard.

01:03:47And Jericho with a sneak attack again from behind.

01:03:51Howard sprayed something in the face of- And get the camera held.

01:03:54Get the camera.

01:03:55Must have been maced or something.

01:03:56Get the camera.

01:03:57Take some pictures, come on.

01:03:58And Finkel's taking pictures.

01:03:59Come on, get my face in it.

01:04:00Come on, there you go.

01:04:01Take it.

01:04:02Come on, hurry up.

01:04:03Come on, get a shot.

01:04:04Jericho's nuts.

01:04:05Get a shot of him.

01:04:06There you go.

01:04:07Come on.

01:04:08He's taking Polaroids.

01:04:09Let's go.

01:04:10Finkel's duped into this again by Jericho.

01:04:12My God.

01:04:13I killed Kenny.

01:04:14Let's go.

01:04:15Let's go.

01:04:16Get in there.

01:04:17Come on, hurry up.

01:04:18Jericho used Finkel King as a pulley to set up Shamrock.

01:04:22Finkel's in the trunk.

01:04:24Finkel's in the trunk.

01:04:25He's in the trunk.

01:04:26One, two.

01:04:27Is this on?

01:04:28We're back on SmackDown here on UPN.

01:04:40It's the WWF Champion Triple H along with Chyna and co-owner Shane McMahon.

01:04:44And what did Shane mean when he said he was gonna make it up to the rockin' mankind?

01:04:59I don't know, but I think we're about ready to find it out.

01:05:02You're right, this is SmackDown on UPN, and I suggest everybody watching, go to your phone,

01:05:06call your friends, tell them, turn us on, cuz you've never seen anything like this before.

01:05:11This is gonna be great.

01:05:21Wait a minute.

01:05:22There's the limo.

01:05:23What?

01:05:24What is this?

01:05:25Who is this?

01:05:26Who is this?

01:05:27It's a lady in the limo.

01:05:28What is this all about?

01:05:31I don't know.

01:05:34Well, Triple H, Shane, and Chyna in the ring, perhaps we're gonna find out.

01:05:39Perhaps that's how Shane's gonna make it up to The Rock and Mankind.

01:05:42It seems that we still have a little bit of a problem.

01:05:44You see, there is still no number one contender for Triple H's WWF Championship.

01:05:52So therefore, what I suggest that we do, no, no, no.

01:05:55What I demand that we do is that we have Mankind and The Rock come back down to this ring and

01:06:02finish what they started to find out, indeed, who will be the number one contender.

01:06:08And to just make sure that there is no outside interference from the two of you, I am personally

01:06:14going to referee this match.

01:06:16Wow.

01:06:17So now, Rock, Mankind, I'm through playing.

01:06:20It's now time to get down here.

01:06:22Matter of fact, Rock, I'll give you five seconds.

01:06:25And The Mack means five seconds to get right down in this very ring.

01:06:29Five, four, three, two, one.

01:06:33You know, I think that idea sucks.

01:06:37What?

01:06:38Who's that?

01:06:39Who is that?

01:06:43Hey!

01:06:44It's Tess.

01:06:46It's Shane's arch nemesis.

01:06:48Shane's sister's fiance.

01:06:50Hi, girls.

01:06:51Hi, girls.

01:06:52I'd like to introduce to you the other two owners of the World Wrestling Federation.

01:06:58What?

01:06:59My future mother-in-law and my future bride-to-be, Linda and Stephanie McMahon.

01:07:04Whoa!

01:07:05What?

01:07:09Linda McMahon and Stephanie are here on SmackDown.

01:07:14That's Shane's mother and his sister.

01:07:17Shane looks like he's seen a ghost.

01:07:23Shane, in the event that you need to be reminded,

01:07:29with your father not here tonight, the balance of power has shifted somewhat.

01:07:38Stephanie and I together hold controlling interest.

01:07:43Oh, no.

01:07:44She's right.

01:07:45Therefore, therefore, listen up, listen carefully.

01:07:50Mankind and The Rock are not going to come out here and face each other one-on-one again.

01:07:56Instead, they are going to team up and face Triple H.

01:08:03What?

01:08:04And you.

01:08:05Whoa!

01:08:06And Shane!

01:08:07Triple H, Shane versus Rock Mankind!

01:08:10Wait a minute!

01:08:11You can't!

01:08:12You can't!

01:08:13Okay, I think that is for the WWF Tag Team Championship!

01:08:19That is for the titles!

01:08:21Me and you, you can't do that!

01:08:23Is it going to be for the titles?

01:08:24Oh, I think I can.

01:08:25And it will definitely be a title match.

01:08:27I think that Rock and Mankind will definitely take great pleasure in having it be a title match.

01:08:33And, son, good luck.

01:08:36We think you're going to need it.

01:08:38I can't believe this!

01:08:39The Tag Team titles are on the line tonight!

01:08:42Mankind and Rock versus Shane and Triple H!

01:08:45I knew Linda McMahon always liked Stephanie Best!

01:08:48This was Linda McMahon's version of washing her son's mouth out with soap!

01:08:52Shane!

01:08:53Shane's been screwed this time!

01:08:55We're back on SmackDown, and during the break, Shane McMahon trying to pump up Triple H!

01:09:02This is, all right, listen, we gotta turn the negative into a positive.

01:09:06We have a chance in history to become the WWF Tag Team Champions.

01:09:10Just like you can hold the WWF Championship and the Tag Team goal at the same time.

01:09:14All right, but you're gonna calm down, you're gonna calm down.

01:09:16We gotta level up.

01:09:17No, no, no, we can't let them win.

01:09:18Can't let them win.

01:09:19We aren't gonna let them win.

01:09:20Clear ahead to prevail.

01:09:21Good, good, good.

01:09:22Don't you worry about it, I got it all under control.

01:09:23Beautiful.

01:09:24Well, this is gonna be great.

01:09:25I can see it now.

01:09:26Shane McMahon and Triple H!

01:09:28The Tag Team Champions here tonight!

01:09:30Well, they have to face Rock and Mankind, King.

01:09:33But I'll tell you what, you know, the Tag Team division is in chaos here in the World Wrestling Federation.

01:09:38This past week on Raw, there was a four-corner elimination match.

01:09:41Right.

01:09:42To try and determine the number one contender for the Tag Team titles.

01:09:45It was a train wreck.

01:09:46Well, this was another reason to stay up late last Monday night.

01:09:49But that four-corner elimination match degenerated mighty fast.

01:09:53There were about 14 wrestlers in the ring before it was over.

01:09:56Yeah, and nothing was decided.

01:09:57The number one contenders for the Tag Team titles are still up in the air.

01:10:01But I can tell you this, tonight on SmackDown, the number one contenders,

01:10:05Well, there's Shane McMahon and Triple H.

01:10:07And a combined weight of 468 pounds, Crash and Hardcore Hulley!

01:10:14Just think, whoever wins this big Tag Team Royal Rumble Rules match is gonna have to face Shane McMahon and Triple H!

01:10:22Or the Rock and Mankind!

01:10:24The number of opponents at a combined weight of 727 pounds, Midian and Viscera!

01:10:32And King, don't forget this Monday, Raw's War, a special time on USA 11 Eastern,

01:10:37the regular time on the West Coast because of U.S. Open tennis.

01:10:42So here we go, two teams will start once one team's eliminated,

01:10:45another team will come in until there's a winner.

01:10:48That'll mean a shot at the Tag Team titles.

01:10:51Will it be Rock and Mankind or Triple H and Shane?

01:10:54I don't know, but look at Viscera, just step over those ropes.

01:10:56But Viscera, you're facing a couple of super heavyweights here in the Hollies!

01:11:00Well, they think they are, the Hollies do.

01:11:03And Viscera tosses Crash Holly into the corner, and here we go now.

01:11:07The big question here is, can Crash and Hardcore Holly coexist?

01:11:11Can they get along?

01:11:12These cousins have been like the Hatfields and McCoys in recent weeks.

01:11:16Yeah.

01:11:17And the 500 pound Viscera really taking it to Crash Holly here.

01:11:22Well, they better coexist, the Hollies, because if they don't,

01:11:27they won't have a chance to get that Tag Team gold.

01:11:30Crash Holly off the ropes, nice leg sweep that time by Midian.

01:11:33And Viscera now follows it up with that big splash to the back of the head.

01:11:37Forget it.

01:11:38Of Crash Holly.

01:11:39Just covering.

01:11:40I think they wanna inflict a little more pain on poor Crash.

01:11:43Midian now, my.

01:11:45Version of the pump handle that time.

01:11:47Here's the cover on Crash.

01:11:48There's two and a kick out by Crash Holly.

01:11:51Crash and Hardcore believe they're super heavyweights.

01:11:54They've got the hearts of super heavyweights.

01:11:55They'll give them that much.

01:11:56They're tough.

01:11:57They like to fight.

01:11:58Look at this.

01:11:59Look at this reversal now.

01:12:00Midian rolled over, hook of the leg.

01:12:02And a count of two, and Hardcore Holly and Viscera now in the ring.

01:12:06And here are all four men going at it.

01:12:08The Hollies against Viscera and Midian.

01:12:11And I think the Hollies got the upper hand.

01:12:12Well, they had the upper hand for a second.

01:12:13The Hardcore's going for a right here.

01:12:15No.

01:12:16My, what a drop by Viscera.

01:12:19But who's the legal man in here?

01:12:20That's 500 pounds crashing down.

01:12:22And look out.

01:12:23Crash Holly out of the way, and Viscera just pancake Midian.

01:12:27And here's the cover.

01:12:28There's two.

01:12:29And the Hollies have eliminated Viscera and Midian.

01:12:33That's gotta be a huge upset.

01:12:35Well, King, I'm impressed.

01:12:38And here comes Roz and Prince Albert.

01:12:41Once one team's eliminated, we said it, folks.

01:12:44The other team quickly gets into the ring.

01:12:46And Prince Albert now with Crash Holly high in the air.

01:12:49Man, what a maneuver.

01:12:51Golly.

01:12:52That's it.

01:12:53There's a cover now by Prince Albert.

01:12:54There's the count, two.

01:12:55And Hardcore Holly makes the save.

01:12:57Tell you what, I'm impressed with the Hollies.

01:12:59They seem to be getting along here, King.

01:13:00They're pretty good when they coexist.

01:13:02Man, not for long, they can't last long together.

01:13:05Prince Albert's sidewalk slam onto the knee of Draws.

01:13:08And Crash Holly in a world of trouble here.

01:13:11Take it through, man.

01:13:13Crash has been crashing all over the place here tonight.

01:13:16Look at this.

01:13:17Crash Holly with a thumb to the eye that time.

01:13:19And here comes his cousin Hardcore Holly.

01:13:21Come on, Draws, look at this.

01:13:22And he walked into that one, Draws with a nice slam.

01:13:24And you hear Prince Albert barking out orders in the corner.

01:13:29At stake here, folks, a shot at the Tag Team Championship.

01:13:33And who's gonna be the champion?

01:13:35Mankind and Rock or Shane and Triple H?

01:13:37Shane and Triple H, look at Draws.

01:13:39Nobody home, Draws into the corner.

01:13:41And Hardcore Holly looks to take advantage.

01:13:43Kick to the midsection, momentum shift here.

01:13:45Hardcore Holly, tremendous maneuver on Draws.

01:13:48Cover, hook to the leg.

01:13:50One, two, three.

01:13:51And the Hollies have eliminated Prince Albert and Draws.

01:13:54That was a big powerplex.

01:13:55Man.

01:13:56Big powerplex from Bob Holly got that done.

01:14:01Well, things get even rougher for the Hollies now.

01:14:03Because here come the new brood, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy.

01:14:07And look out now, look at Jeff Hardy fly.

01:14:10Matt Hardy caught Crash Holly, middle of the ring.

01:14:13Look at him, look at him, he got him.

01:14:14How long did that take?

01:14:15The Hardy boys eliminate the Hollies.

01:14:17As quick as that.

01:14:19The Hollies were tough, but they were not ready for those high flying members of the brood.

01:14:24Uh-oh.

01:14:25Are they ready for the acolytes?

01:14:27Farouk and Bradshaw.

01:14:29And there's a history between these two teams.

01:14:32As Bradshaw now tosses Jeff Hardy through the second roof.

01:14:36Did you see that?

01:14:37And Farouk now reversal.

01:14:39Matt Hardy in a heap of trouble.

01:14:41What a slam by Farouk.

01:14:42I'm gonna tell you something, these acolytes are as mean and as vicious as

01:14:46and as strong and as tough as anybody in the World Wrestling Federation.

01:14:50They will beat the snot out of you.

01:14:53And both of these team, former WWF Tag Team Champions.

01:14:57And Bradshaw in total control of Matt Hardy here.

01:15:01Bradshaw the 300 pounder putting Hardy up on the top rope.

01:15:04And Bradshaw with a right hand.

01:15:06He may throw this guy completely across the other side of the ring.

01:15:09Look at that.

01:15:10Jeff Hardy distracted Bradshaw just in time.

01:15:13Matt Hardy gonna fly now.

01:15:14Top rope.

01:15:15Bradshaw caught him.

01:15:16Look at the strength.

01:15:17What did I tell you?

01:15:18Man, drop kick.

01:15:19Matt Hardy cover.

01:15:20Two in a kick out.

01:15:21You gotta take a look at this double feature, King.

01:15:26And we gotta look at Jeff Hardy in the background as the Hardy boys continue the double team.

01:15:31Take a look at this action.

01:15:32Yeah, he just died.

01:15:33I mean, that was some high flying, frequent flying mileage right there.

01:15:37Well, he was just grounded that time by Farouk.

01:15:40Wow.

01:15:41And Farouk doing a number now on Matt and Jeff.

01:15:43Look at this.

01:15:44Look out.

01:15:45Farouk gonna make a statement.

01:15:47Whoa. Matt Hardy though, countered.

01:15:49And Matt Hardy, neck breaker.

01:15:51Big neck breaker.

01:15:52Tell you the new brood under the influence of Gangrel now.

01:15:55Look.

01:15:56Jeff Hardy.

01:15:57One dive, senton bomb from the top rope, caught him in the rib cage.

01:16:02And now the double team on Bradshaw by the Hardy boys.

01:16:06Farouk is hurt, he's out.

01:16:07I'll tell you, there isn't a team in the WWF today that works as well together as these

01:16:11brothers, Matt and Jeff Hardy.

01:16:12And look at this.

01:16:13Man, the clothesline from hell.

01:16:16Almost knocked Jeff Hardy's head off.

01:16:18And this is over.

01:16:19The Acolytes advance.

01:16:21Stevie Richards, the Blue Meanie, and here we go.

01:16:27And the Acolytes now hammering away on Stevie Richards as the Blue Meanie continues to

01:16:34saunter down the ramp.

01:16:35What the world is he doing?

01:16:37I don't know, you said here we go, but here he's not going.

01:16:40How long is, what is he doing?

01:16:42Blue Meanie, he's a little eccentric as his partner Stevie Richards,

01:16:48is getting hammered in the ring by the Acolytes.

01:16:51Cover now.

01:16:52And the Acolytes make quick work of Stevie Richards.

01:16:55Blue Meanie didn't even get in the ring.

01:16:56I don't even think Blue Meanie realizes what's happening here.

01:16:59I think he realizes.

01:17:00Look at that.

01:17:01And boy, boy.

01:17:03And just pressed into the ring.

01:17:07Here we go.

01:17:08The last team to enter, Tag Team Turmoil.

01:17:12And whoever wins this match here, folks, will get a shot at the Tag Team Titles.

01:17:18Double Team Acolytes, Edge off the ropes.

01:17:20Man.

01:17:21The winner of this is gonna face Shane and Triple H.

01:17:23For Rockin' Mankind.

01:17:25That's coming up on SmackDown.

01:17:27Right after this matchup, Bradshaw swinging neck breaker by Edge.

01:17:31This Edge, a tremendous athlete.

01:17:36He's all right.

01:17:37Edge and Christian, of course, leaving gang ground.

01:17:40Talk about tremendous athletes.

01:17:41Look at Farouk.

01:17:42Man.

01:17:43Christian and Farouk outside the ring.

01:17:45Bradshaw in the ring now with Edge.

01:17:47And what a tornado DDT by Edge.

01:17:49My God.

01:17:50Look at this.

01:17:51Christian into those stairs.

01:17:53And can Edge now gain momentum?

01:17:55It was a tremendous tornado.

01:17:57Wait a minute.

01:17:58What's this, King?

01:17:59Man.

01:18:00King, the Dudley Boys, Bubba Ray and D-Von are here.

01:18:06These are two of the toughest guys that ever came from that extremely crappy wrestling.

01:18:11The Dudley Boys, former ECW Tag Team Champions.

01:18:16And D-Von and Bubba Ray making a statement here.

01:18:21Okay, we still don't know who the number one contenders for the Tag Team titles are.

01:18:26I don't know, but these guys have used two F4s on the Acolytes and Edge and Christian.

01:18:31They weren't even invited.

01:18:32Here come the Rocket Mankind.

01:18:35The Tag Team Champions put the titles on the line against Shane and Triple H.

01:18:40Back on SmackDown, Lillian Garcia has caught up with the Dudley Boys who were

01:18:45interrupted the last match.

01:18:47Bubba Ray, D-Von Dudley, it is obvious that you wanted to mention

01:18:50it's obvious that you wanted to make impact upon entrance tonight.

01:18:53You, you, you, you, you're damn right, lady.

01:18:58We are the Dudley Boys.

01:19:03Best Tag Team in the world.

01:19:07And we're coming to the World Wrestling Federation to prove just that.

01:19:12Yeah.

01:19:13And there's only three things you people need to know.

01:19:18Number one, thou shalt not steal.

01:19:21Number two, thou shalt not kill.

01:19:24And number three, thou shalt not mess with the Dudleys.

01:19:29What is wrong with that Bubba Ray?

01:19:33Speech impediment.

01:19:35Speech impediment.

01:19:36Here we go, Tag Team Titles are on the line.

01:19:42Shane McMahon, Triple H.

01:19:48Triple H.

01:20:00Earlier tonight, Linda McMahon, Shane's mother, came out.

01:20:06Told Shane McMahon, you're gonna get your son.

01:20:11You're gonna team with Triple H against The Rock and Mankind.

01:20:16Because earlier on, King, Shane once again, screwed The Rock.

01:20:20Screwed Mankind out of becoming the number one contender for the WWF Championship.

01:20:25Yeah, but you know what?

01:20:26His mom might have been doing him a favor.

01:20:28That's real tough love right there because Shane could become Tag Team Champion here tonight.

01:20:34Then his mom would be so proud of him, even more proud than she is of him now.

01:20:38Well, Magic the Gathering presents WWF Unforgiven.

01:20:43Magic the Gathering, the trading card game, the ultimate battle of wits.

01:20:47Unforgiven comes your way Sunday night, September 26th,

01:20:50from the Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina.

01:20:59Oh, boy.

01:21:03Here comes Mankind.

01:21:05And here we go now, Mankind against Triple H and Shane.

01:21:18Tag Team titles on the line, and Rock's not even out here.

01:21:21All right, hurry up, pin that idiot, and you guys will be the champions.

01:21:24Mankind hammering away now at Triple H and Shane.

01:21:27Keep in mind, Mankind with a lot to prove.

01:21:29Shane defeated Mankind last week with a little bit of help from his friends.

01:21:33I told you that The Rock and Mankind wouldn't be able to get along.

01:21:36They hate each other.

01:21:37No.

01:21:38And here comes The Rock, Mankind's partner.

01:21:46And The Rock and Mankind were in a war earlier tonight.

01:21:50But right now they're teammates again.

01:21:53Tag Team titles on the line, and here goes The Rock.

01:21:56He's laying the smack down on Triple H already.

01:21:59And Shane now from behind, and Rock with a right hand to Shane, knocks him down.

01:22:03And The People's Champ hammers away on Triple H.

01:22:06Look out, here comes Shane.

01:22:08Shane over the top rope by Mankind.

01:22:09My gosh.

01:22:10Tag Team titles are on the line.

01:22:14The champions rocking Mankind against Triple H and Shane.

01:22:17The referee needs to get control of this somehow.

01:22:20No, don't do that, look out.

01:22:22And from behind, Triple H with a steel chair.

01:22:25That was good.

01:22:29The referee didn't see it, distracted on the outside by Chana.

01:22:32Look out, look out.

01:22:33And look out, Mankind right into our announce table here.

01:22:36And Mankind tossed back into the ring.

01:22:39And now Triple H and Mankind will go at it toe to toe.

01:22:43At least finally the referee looks like he's got some semblance of control in this thing.

01:22:50Here tonight on SmackDown, Triple H could be crowned WWF Tag Team Champion.

01:22:55More gold to gold with his WWF Championship.

01:22:59I love SmackDown.

01:23:01Triple H and Shane going for the tag team titles as Triple H hammers away now on

01:23:06the deranged Mankind.

01:23:09Deranged is right.

01:23:10This guy gets to be psychotic and gets paid for it.

01:23:13Uh-oh, here Shane's in.

01:23:14Do it, Shane.

01:23:15Mankind off the ropes and one elbow by the co-owner of this company.

01:23:18Shane hooks the leg in a kick out after one by Mankind.

01:23:22He's gonna make his mom Linda proud one way or the other.

01:23:25And Shane quickly back on Mankind.

01:23:27Stay on him, stay on Shane.

01:23:28Not letting Mankind get any rest here and hammering away.

01:23:30Rip that stupid mask off of him, Shane.

01:23:32No.

01:23:33And Mankind reversing the tables now.

01:23:35That's not fair, Mankind's using a clenched fist.

01:23:38Mankind and The Rock winning the tag team title.

01:23:42Come on Shane, bite him, bite him.

01:23:43And Shane now with the ankle of Mankind desperately trying to change the momentum

01:23:49here.

01:23:50And a right hand by Mankind.

01:23:52Shane needs to make a tag king in a bad way.

01:23:54There it is, there it is.

01:23:55And he does and here comes Triple H, the WWF Champion hammering away on Mankind.

01:24:00Yes.

01:24:02Boy, this is it.

01:24:04Triple H setting up Mankind now.

01:24:05Yeah.

01:24:06Two flags up over the top, Triple H caught him.

01:24:08What strength that took.

01:24:09And The Rock yet to be officially into the ring here.

01:24:13Rock didn't like that too much.

01:24:15Referee distracted, Triple H cover following the knee.

01:24:18Hook of the leg and a kick out after two by Mankind.

01:24:21That idiot referee had his back turned for about five seconds.

01:24:25Can you imagine though Triple H and Shane as Shane now-

01:24:28He's the hot flying Shane.

01:24:30Shane into the chest.

01:24:33Quickly rolls Mankind over, hook of the leg.

01:24:35Could have new tag team champions but a kick out after one.

01:24:37How can you watch Shane fly through the air and not be excited, Michael Cole?

01:24:41That was great.

01:24:42He's risking life and limb in there to win these tag titles.

01:24:45Can you imagine Shane McMahon and Triple H with the tag team titles and also the WWF championship?

01:24:53You know what Mankind said earlier?

01:24:54He said the most embarrassing moment of his life, even worse than getting caught naked by his mother,

01:24:59was losing to Shane McMahon.

01:25:01And again, Shane McMahon had a lot of help, King, a lot of help.

01:25:04So what?

01:25:05Mankind, you better get used to it because you're gonna lose again tonight to Shane McMahon.

01:25:10Triple H knee to the face of Mankind.

01:25:13Here's the cover now.

01:25:14Hook of the leg.

01:25:15New tag champ.

01:25:16Two and a kick out.

01:25:17Tell you, King, keep in mind, Mankind and The Rock have both already been through a war tonight.

01:25:23They went one on one before they were screwed by Shane McMahon again.

01:25:26Yeah, I'll agree with you there.

01:25:28But you're always singing the praises of The Rock and Mankind.

01:25:31They ought to be able to do it.

01:25:32Look at this.

01:25:33Here's that patented move.

01:25:34Patented move.

01:25:35This is Xbox Bronco Buster.

01:25:36Shane's the one that made it famous though.

01:25:38Shane McMahon giving it to Mankind now.

01:25:41Come on.

01:25:42What a cheap shot, Rock, come on.

01:25:44Rock delivered the clothesline to Shane.

01:25:46Shane felt it and now Mankind struggling to his feet.

01:25:50Can you imagine an employee doing that to an owner?

01:25:53Hey, he's not an owner in this match.

01:25:55He's just another sports entertainer and is paying for it.

01:25:58He's always a co-owner.

01:25:59And here comes Triple H now into the ring and he gets to Mankind right before Mankind can make the tag to The Rock.

01:26:05Tag team titles on the line and Triple H and Shane working well together here.

01:26:11What a night this has been here on SmackDown.

01:26:14Look out, Man of a Claw, Mankind has it locked in now on Triple H.

01:26:18Look at Shane keeping the move.

01:26:20Shane had the referee distracted and Chyna delivered a low blow.

01:26:25That's probably what Mankind's mother did when she walked in and caught him naked.

01:26:29I'll tell you what, King, I'll give you one.

01:26:32I'll hand that to Shane.

01:26:33What?

01:26:34He distracted the referee and allowed Chyna to take advantage.

01:26:37Well, of course.

01:26:38Look at this.

01:26:39Shane's brilliant.

01:26:41And now Mankind struggling to his feet.

01:26:44Can he get to the corner?

01:26:45Can he get to The Rock?

01:26:46Can he get there?

01:26:47No!

01:26:48And here comes The Rock and the Worcester Central has exploded.

01:26:52We got Trouble Neal.

01:26:53The Rock with right hands laying the SmackDown on Triple H.

01:26:59Here's Triple H now whipped across the ring.

01:27:02The Rock kicked to the midsection.

01:27:03DDT planted him.

01:27:05Shane.

01:27:06Hook to the leg.

01:27:07Two.

01:27:08And Shane McMahon makes the save.

01:27:09Whoo.

01:27:12No.

01:27:13Well, Shane's gonna pay for it right here, King.

01:27:16Right up over the top.

01:27:17Shane, look out.

01:27:18Off the apron of the ring.

01:27:20And Triple H with a clothesline just nailed The Rock.

01:27:25My gosh.

01:27:26And Mankind right out of the table.

01:27:28A drop kick.

01:27:29Shane right out here in front of us.

01:27:30Shane, are you all right?

01:27:31Get an ambulance.

01:27:32Shane McMahon.

01:27:33Get a medic.

01:27:34Quiet over the table.

01:27:35Leave him alone.

01:27:36You killed him.

01:27:37Wait a minute.

01:27:38Wait a minute.

01:27:39Leave him alone.

01:27:40It's Mr. Ass Famouser.

01:27:41Famouser.

01:27:42What?

01:27:43Mr. Ass delivered the Famouser to Triple H.

01:27:46Payback for earlier tonight.

01:27:48I can't believe it.

01:27:51Rock bottom.

01:27:53And here it comes.

01:27:54The most electrifying move in sports entertainment today.

01:28:00No.

01:28:01The people's elbow.

01:28:02Don't tell me.

01:28:03From The Rock.

01:28:04Triple H.

01:28:05He got it.

01:28:06He got it.

01:28:07Here's the cover.

01:28:09One, two, three.

01:28:11The Rock.

01:28:12And Mankind retelling the tag team titles.

01:28:15Hero winners and still.

01:28:20What was waiting for us in tag team champions?

01:28:24Mankind and The Rock.

01:28:27And King, you know what they say as you see Shane.

01:28:30What?

01:28:31Help him, you idiot.

01:28:32You know what they say.

01:28:33Payback is A.

01:28:34And it was Triple H who screwed Mr. Ass out of the number one contendership for

01:28:38the Intercontinental Championship earlier on tonight.

01:28:41And Mr. Ass got his revenge on Triple H costing Triple H the tag team titles.

01:28:48They were robbed.

01:28:49Mr. Ass and The Rock and Mankind retain the tag team titles.

01:28:57And he's smelling SmackDown.

01:28:59You can smell what The Rock is cooking.
