00:00:00When you came into my life

00:00:05Then I realized you were the only one

00:00:11When you came into my life

00:00:21And I never felt like this before

00:00:34Together, our love will last forever

00:00:42Together, just you and me forever

00:00:51We are gathered here tonight

00:00:54To celebrate one of life's greatest moments

00:00:59Should there be anyone who has cause

00:01:03Why this couple should not be united in marriage

00:01:07They must speak now or forever

00:01:11Hold their peace

00:01:23You should take a look at this

00:01:2524 hour drive up wedding window

00:01:28Wedding ceremony, only $40

00:01:31That's us

00:01:32Hey, how you doing?

00:01:33Hey, you're Triple A's

00:01:34Damn straight I am

00:01:35Are you getting married?

00:01:36That's what I'm here for

00:01:37Who are you married?

00:01:38The virtuous Stephanie McMahon

00:01:41Oh, wow

00:01:42We're getting right to the idea of the

00:01:44Rings on, let's get out of here

00:01:45Come on, where's love?

00:01:46Just dig in a little bit

00:01:47Oh, you know I do

00:01:52And Stephanie, will you take Hunter for your husband?

00:01:56Oh, yes I do

00:01:57Get a nice shot of the brand new

00:02:00Mr. and Mrs. Hunter Hurst Helmsley

00:02:04Stephanie and Triple H are married

00:02:06I know that you can only have one question on your mind

00:02:11Dad

00:02:13Oh, my God

00:02:14I hate you

00:02:16And that is

00:02:18I hate you

00:02:19Not did we, but how many times did we consummate the marriage?

00:02:25Oh, my God, I can't believe that

00:02:27Triple H has married Stephanie McMahon

00:02:31It's okay, Stephanie

00:02:32For God's sake

00:02:33My God, I can't believe this

00:02:35Unbelievable

00:02:37This isn't happening again

00:02:38Give me that

00:02:39Hey, give me the facts

00:02:40This is not happening

00:02:42Are you relaxed?

00:02:43What is your problem?

00:02:44We're not talking 50 feet

00:02:45Now you bash his head in with the bat

00:02:47You're talking five years

00:02:48Is that what you want?

00:02:49There's a better way to do this

00:02:50Use your brain for once

00:02:52I tell you what

00:02:52This is not happening

00:02:53If you're doing this

00:02:54You're going through me

00:02:55So lay it in

00:02:55That's the only way it's happening

00:02:57That's it

00:02:59Triple H is worth that

00:03:00You going to jail?

00:03:01I don't think so

00:03:01This is stupid

00:03:02Give me the bat

00:03:03Give me the bat

00:03:03Hit me

00:03:04Hit me with it

00:03:12Get down

00:03:15Reach out

00:03:19The charge

00:03:20Get down

00:03:27I just love

00:03:29It's not gonna try

00:03:30To be as tough as I can't see

00:03:32Make a response

00:03:32Get down

00:03:32Take off

00:03:32To be as cruel

00:03:39yn

00:03:56Three days removed from tested Stephanie McMahon's wedding nightmare.

00:04:01We welcome you to WWF SmackDown from the sold-out Arrowhead Pod in Anaheim, California.

00:04:08I'm Michael Cole along with Jerry the King Lawler.

00:04:11Wait a minute.

00:04:12Who's that?

00:04:13I can't.

00:04:15Stephanie McMahon's coming out here.

00:04:16Stephanie McMahon is on her way down to the ring.

00:04:19And, King, can you imagine what this poor young lady has had to endure over the past few days?

00:04:25Listen to these.

00:04:26These people are actually booing Stephanie.

00:04:29I'm gonna tell you something.

00:04:30You know, we always say anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:04:33I thought I'd seen it all, Michael, but I ain't never seen nothing like this.

00:04:36Stephanie McMahon did absolutely nothing wrong.

00:04:39She is legally married.

00:04:41Hold it.

00:04:42What?

00:04:42Now say that again?

00:04:43She did nothing wrong.

00:04:44Triple H.

00:04:44She's legally married to Triple H.

00:04:46Triple H tricked her into that, King.

00:04:48You are right about that.

00:04:49She is legally married to Triple H.

00:04:51Triple H tricked her into it.

00:04:52How do you know that?

00:04:53Let's hear it.

00:04:54Let's get the straight scoop right now.

00:05:04I'd like to ask my brother and my father to come to the ring because I have something to say

00:05:13to them.

00:05:16I have something to say to my friends and my family.

00:05:21I have something to say to my fiancee.

00:05:28And I have something to say to all of you.

00:05:36Enough is enough, okay?

00:05:38Enough is enough.

00:05:40This is gonna get you nowhere.

00:05:41Absolutely nowhere.

00:05:43Chill out.

00:05:44Calm down.

00:05:45Give me the bat.

00:05:47Give me the bat.

00:05:49Put the bat in my hand.

00:05:50Guys, guys, guys, let's go, please.

00:05:52Stephanie needs y'all.

00:05:53She's in the ring.

00:05:53She's howling for you.

00:05:54She's calling for you.

00:05:55She's where?

00:05:56She's in the middle of the ring.

00:05:57She needs you guys.

00:05:58Let's go.

00:05:59It's your daughter.

00:06:00Stephanie in the ring.

00:06:02The only person that I have to blame is myself.

00:06:11And I accept full responsibility for everything that happened in Las Vegas.

00:06:22I should have known better.

00:06:25I shouldn't have partied so hard.

00:06:28I shouldn't have drank so much.

00:06:30And I certainly shouldn't have taken that last drink from a bartender I didn't even know.

00:06:37Who I now know was working for Triple H.

00:06:43I know I was drugged.

00:06:47I don't remember anything that happened shortly after I took that drink.

00:06:52I don't even remember how I got to my hotel room.

00:06:59I was just as shocked as anyone last Monday night on Raw when Triple H aired the video of us

00:07:08getting married.

00:07:13I felt disgusted.

00:07:20I felt cheap.

00:07:25And I felt violated.

00:07:31I'd like to publicly apologize to those whom I might have hurt, especially my friends and my family and my

00:07:43fiance Andrew.

00:07:45I only hope that Andrew can maybe find it in his heart to forgive me.

00:07:56But as far as Triple H is concerned, I will never forgive him for wrecking my life.

00:08:12You used me as a tool, Triple H.

00:08:15You wanted to hurt my father.

00:08:19And guess what?

00:08:20It worked.

00:08:22He's crushed.

00:08:25So I have one piece of advice for you, Triple H.

00:08:29What goes around, comes around.

00:08:36Well, here comes Shane McMahon, Stephanie's brother, along with her father Vince McMahon,

00:08:41on their way down to the ring.

00:08:42And King, you have to admit, it took a hell of a lot of guts to do what Stephanie McMahon

00:08:47just did here on SmackDown.

00:08:50Boy, look at the expression on Vince's face.

00:08:52He's still got that ball band in his hand.

00:08:54Can you imagine the emotions of father and son over the past few days after what they witnessed

00:08:59during that beautiful wedding ceremony on Raw this past Monday Night King?

00:09:22Dad, Shane, I've asked you to come to the ring because I know what your intentions are.

00:09:29And it's not what I want.

00:09:34Dad, you and my big brother have coddled me and protected me all my life.

00:09:42But it's time for me to stand on my own.

00:09:47I got myself into this.

00:09:49And I'll get myself out.

00:09:51What?

00:09:53No, I want you both to promise me.

00:09:56You both need to promise me that you will let me handle this my way.

00:10:04So that maybe I can hold on to some shred of integrity.

00:10:13Shane, will you promise me?

00:10:15Please promise me.

00:10:21I promise.

00:10:25Dad.

00:10:30Dad, please promise me.

00:10:31Please.

00:10:32I need to do this on my own.

00:10:37Daddy, if you love me, if you love me, you'll promise me.

00:10:42Promise her.

00:10:43What is your problem?

00:10:44Don't you see she's asking for this?

00:10:46What is your?

00:10:47Promise her.

00:10:49She wants to do it her way.

00:10:51You gotta respect that.

00:10:54Promise.

00:10:55I promise.

00:11:00Okay, Vince reluctantly promising to allow Stephanie McMahon to handle this situation on her own.

00:11:06And what a moment for the McMahon family here on SmackDown.

00:11:09Wait a minute.

00:11:10Come on.

00:11:11What does she mean she's gonna handle it on her?

00:11:13What is Stephanie McMahon gonna do?

00:11:15How is she gonna handle this on her own?

00:11:17She's a proud woman.

00:11:18She wants to correct what she believes was a mistake.

00:11:22Well, folks, we're at the sold out Arrowhead Pond here in Anaheim for WWF SmackDown.

00:11:27And tonight it's gonna be a war.

00:11:29Rock and Al Snow.

00:11:30Wait a minute.

00:11:31Can't wait to see Tori tonight.

00:11:34I told her I could beat Kane.

00:11:36I'm on a roll.

00:11:38What?

00:11:40When I see Tori tonight, it's gonna be a night she's gonna never forget.

00:11:47Wait a minute.

00:11:48The big red machine, Kane.

00:11:50He was scheduled to take on Viscera in a match tonight.

00:11:53I guess he's starting it early, Kane.

00:11:55My God.

00:11:56Kane taking an exception to what Viscera said about his girlfriend Tori.

00:12:00Man.

00:12:02And now, the WWF Boot of the Week, brought to you by Lugz.

00:12:07Tough boots built for the city.

00:12:09That's Lugz.

00:12:10Hey, look at Tori.

00:12:11What's she doing?

00:12:12Tori like an explanation.

00:12:14Come on.

00:12:16What the hell was that about?

00:12:18That was no accident.

00:12:20X-Pac just kicked Tori right in the face, King.

00:12:23Come on.

00:12:24I cannot believe the audacity of X-Pac.

00:12:27That was the WWF Boot of the Week, brought to you by Lugz.

00:12:31Boots and jeans with Attitude.

00:12:33Lugz, decide and conquer.

00:12:37Well, Kane and Viscera have been going at it during the break.

00:12:39And look at Viscera hammering away on the big red machine, Kane.

00:12:43This was a scheduled matchup here tonight.

00:12:45Kane started things off when Viscera was freshening up a little bit for Kane's girlfriend.

00:12:50Yeah, Viscera couldn't wait to get his hands on or at least let Tori see him.

00:12:54But Kane saw him first.

00:12:55They fought all the way from Viscera's dressing room to the ring now.

00:12:58And here we go now.

00:12:59The match has officially started.

00:13:00Viscera and the big red machine, Kane.

00:13:02You just saw in the Lugz Boot of the Week, King, X-Pac's spin kick to Tori.

00:13:06Now, rumors are that Tori isn't here tonight.

00:13:09Under Doctor's order, she's still recuperating after that spin kick by X-Pac.

00:13:14Well, I'll tell you, that knocked Tori for a loop.

00:13:17But I'll tell you, Tori has knocked Kane for a loop and also Viscera.

00:13:21I think Viscera is a smitten with Tori as Kane is.

00:13:24My God.

00:13:25What an enziguri by Kane.

00:13:27Didn't knock Viscera off his feet.

00:13:28However, here comes the big red machine.

00:13:31Man, what a belly to belly by Viscera.

00:13:35That may do it.

00:13:40The big red machine sits back up.

00:13:43Viscera can't believe it.

00:13:45Kane with that knife-edged chop underneath the chin.

00:13:48And there's another one to the big man Viscera.

00:13:51And Kane now is rolling.

00:13:52Viscera off the ropes.

00:13:54No.

00:13:55Look out, Viscera.

00:13:56Here comes Kane now, look out.

00:13:58Kane up over the top and outside the ring, but he landed on his feet.

00:14:01Tremendous balance by the big man.

00:14:03Look at Viscera, he's not intimidated.

00:14:06And Kane hung him up on the top rope.

00:14:10And watch the agility of this near 320 pounder.

00:14:14Kane nearly seven foot tall, top rope, caught Viscera, knocked the near 500 pounder down.

00:14:21Wow, Kane with that flying clothesline.

00:14:24Uh-oh.

00:14:24Kane.

00:14:26Wait a minute.

00:14:28I'd like to say-

00:14:33Kane kicked your old lady's head off if that was an accident.

00:14:38But quite frankly, I can't say that at all.

00:14:43Because you see, it was so intentional.

00:14:50The audacity of X-Pac continues to goad Kane.

00:14:54Wait a minute, Kane.

00:14:55He just got counted out of his match.

00:14:57The winner of this match is the result of a count out, Viscera.

00:15:00X-Pac has cost Kane another match up.

00:15:04Uh-oh.

00:15:04And wait a minute now.

00:15:05Yeah, Viscera, sore loser.

00:15:06And Kane's gonna take out all his penipulation on Viscera.

00:15:10And I wouldn't wanna be in Viscera's shoes right now.

00:15:14Man.

00:15:16I don't think I'd wanna be in X-Pac's shoes at Armageddon either.

00:15:19No.

00:15:20He's not gonna try it, is he?

00:15:22Slam by Kane on Viscera.

00:15:26Look it, X-Pac is back.

00:15:32Uh-oh.

00:15:34An apparent-

00:15:37An obvious message, Kane, sent by Kane to X-Pac in ten days at Armageddon on pay-per-view.

00:15:44Viscera could be X-Pac.

00:15:46Is the end near for X-Pac?

00:15:48I would say the end is near for someone.

00:15:53I would not wanna be in X-Pac's shoes about right now.

00:15:59Uh-oh.

00:16:02Jesus.

00:16:03That's right.

00:16:04Do the people's elbow.

00:16:05Come on.

00:16:05What's going on?

00:16:06Throw the elbow.

00:16:07Hey, go back down the rocks.

00:16:08Throw it off.

00:16:08Throw it to the stairs.

00:16:10Throw it on.

00:16:11Do that stupid run.

00:16:12Jump over top of me.

00:16:13Oh, my God.

00:16:14Look at that.

00:16:15Unbelievable.

00:16:16One more time.

00:16:17Wow.

00:16:18One more time.

00:16:19That's it.

00:16:20And we'll just crack it out one more time.

00:16:23It's a misunderstanding, you idiot.

00:16:25It's not a misunderstanding.

00:16:26It's right there.

00:16:27Crystal clear.

00:16:28Black and white.

00:16:29Pink color.

00:16:30Whatever you wanna say.

00:16:31He did that on purpose.

00:16:33As always, the egotistical jerk took advantage of me coming down to help you.

00:16:37I want you to know that I'm gonna do exactly what I've wanted to do for the last couple weeks.

00:16:42And I'm not gonna be El responsible because I'm gonna take his height apart tonight.

00:16:46And I'm not gonna be held accountable for whatever I end up doing.

00:16:49I gotta get out of here, El.

00:16:53Rocky!

00:16:55One of the great ones dressed in an ear in there.

00:16:58Is the rock in here?

00:17:00Is that Shania?

00:17:01My daughter loves her.

00:17:02She's a heck of an entertainer.

00:17:04But not as entertaining as the rock.

00:17:05You know what I'm talking about?

00:17:06Have you seen him?

00:17:08I don't blame him.

00:17:10That guy's great with kids.

00:17:11And when he lifts that eyebrow, people just love him.

00:17:13But listen, I'll tell you what.

00:17:15If you see the rock, just kind of let him know the other half of the connection was looking for

00:17:21him.

00:17:21Okay?

00:17:21Thanks a lot.

00:17:22And have a nice day.

00:17:24Okay.

00:17:24Rocky!

00:17:25You think you know me?

00:17:27I wonder if you think so.

00:17:28Oh, Mankind looking for the people's champion, the rock.

00:17:32He's white candy.

00:17:34I'm not quite sure why he's looking for him.

00:17:36But maybe he has something to do with Al Snow.

00:17:39Shit.

00:17:42The rock will take on Al Snow one-on-one a little bit later on tonight on SmackDown

00:17:46as Edge and Christian make their way to the ring for tag team action.

00:17:52Where do these guys come from?

00:17:57In the ring from Toronto, Canada,

00:18:00and a combined weight of 450 by pound, Christian A.M.

00:18:06I mean, listen to the ovation for these guys.

00:18:08Why do you think the fans love him so much?

00:18:10Is it because they hang out with the fans?

00:18:12They must dress in the restroom or something.

00:18:14Every time they come to the ring, they come through the fans.

00:18:16And their opponents, out of the line,

00:18:20with a 568 pounds, Bubba Ray and Devon, the Dudley Boys.

00:18:28Well, last Monday on RAW came the Dudley Boys and Acolytes

00:18:31to resolve the game of five cards RAW.

00:18:34Bubba Ray claimed he actually won the game with six aces.

00:18:37Six aces?

00:18:38That's what he said.

00:18:39That's what happens when you have the hand of six aces against the Acolytes.

00:18:43Oh, boy.

00:18:44Well, all hell broke loose back in the cafeteria area.

00:18:48The Dudley Boys and Acolytes going at it.

00:18:50And this should be a tremendous tag team matchup.

00:18:53Devon Dudley starting things off against Edge.

00:18:57Side headlock by Edge goes around behind the back of Devon.

00:19:01And there is a reversal by the Dudley Boys.

00:19:03It's red hot tonight at the sold out Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California.

00:19:07Nice knock down by Devon.

00:19:11Up over the top, leapfrog by Edge.

00:19:13Big hit and toss by Edge as well.

00:19:15And there's the drop kick.

00:19:16You know what, Michael?

00:19:17I just can't help but keep thinking about what Stephanie McMahon said.

00:19:20Come on, Devon!

00:19:21I mean, you know, she says she got herself into this problem and she's gonna take

00:19:24care of it herself.

00:19:25She's gonna get herself out of it.

00:19:26What do you think she means by that?

00:19:27I don't know, but she's gonna confront her fiancé or her former fiancé test if he

00:19:31does show up here tonight.

00:19:33What in the world do you think Stephanie McMahon's gonna say to Tim?

00:19:36No!

00:19:36My!

00:19:37If you were in her position- Wait a minute.

00:19:39What would you say?

00:19:40Or if you were in his position, how would you react?

00:19:42I can't even relate to that.

00:19:43Here's a cover now by Christian, kick out after two.

00:19:45I don't relate to marriage stuff.

00:19:48Devon off the ropes, ripped off the other side.

00:19:51Christian misses with a right hand.

00:19:52And look at Devon with a nice shoulder tackle of Christian.

00:19:56Things are hot here tonight on SmackDown.

00:19:58They're gonna be hot when SmackDown comes to Tallahassee on December 14th.

00:20:01Tickets are still available.

00:20:03And this coming Sunday, the WWF's live in Hartford, Connecticut, and in Albany, New York.

00:20:08And you're talking Tallahassee, Florida, right?

00:20:10You got it.

00:20:11Yeah.

00:20:11Bubba Ray, elbow to the head of Christian, and the Dudley boys are cooking here.

00:20:17Another right hand by Bubba Ray.

00:20:24Whoa.

00:20:25Nice takedown by Christian, and Edge follows it up with a right hand.

00:20:28Tag Team Division, the World Wrestling Federation, highly competitive, New Age Outlaws,

00:20:32the Tag Team Champions.

00:20:34One, two, one.

00:20:34Rock and Sock Connection, the number one contenders.

00:20:37Those two teams meet.

00:20:38My man.

00:20:39Sunday, December 12th on Armageddon on Pay Per View.

00:20:42And Bubba Ray.

00:20:43Look at your wheel crash right there.

00:20:44Shut up.

00:20:44With a shot on Edge.

00:20:46And look out now.

00:20:47Bubba Ray setting Christian up.

00:20:49Devon's climbing the ropes.

00:20:50He doesn't see it.

00:20:52Wow.

00:20:52Torpedo to the lower extremities of Christian.

00:20:56Lower extremities, is that what you call that?

00:20:59You know, both of these teams, the Dudley boys and Edge and Christian involved in that 16-man Tag Team

00:21:04Battle Royal.

00:21:05Here's a cover now, and a kick out after two.

00:21:08That Battle Royal to take place in Armageddon a week from this Sunday on Pay Per View.

00:21:12You know the winners of that Battle Royal get a shot at the Tag Team titles at the Royal Rumble.

00:21:17That's gonna be great.

00:21:18You know, Devon just waited a little bit too long with that cover there.

00:21:21Or the Dudleys would have won this match by now.

00:21:24Elbow by Devon.

00:21:26Second rope, Christian in a bit of trouble here.

00:21:28Devon up over the top, Sunset Flip, hooks the leg, Christian rolls out.

00:21:33And reverses Devon now into a Boston Crab.

00:21:36Edge into the ring, referee distracted, and Bubba Ray breaks it up.

00:21:40Devon rolls into the cover now, hooks the leg, referee Tim White down, there's two.

00:21:43No!

00:21:44Almost had the three count, Christian popped out.

00:21:47Yeah, Christian needs to make a tag or this is gonna be over.

00:21:51Uh-oh.

00:21:54Bubba Ray couldn't quite spit it out as Devon tags him in.

00:21:58And here's a double team again by the Dudley boys.

00:22:02That's my right hand, you piece of cookie.

00:22:05I don't know what's wrong with Bubba Ray, but I bet it's hard to pronounce.

00:22:10Bubba Ray headbutt to Christian as well.

00:22:13Bubba Ray and Devon are, well, they're half brothers.

00:22:17They got the same father.

00:22:18Right.

00:22:19Obviously, different mothers, right?

00:22:21Right.

00:22:21Like twin brothers from different mothers.

00:22:24My, what a clothesline by Bubba Ray.

00:22:27Christian's in desperate need of a tag by Edge.

00:22:30Cover by Bubba Ray.

00:22:32Shoulder up by Christian and Bubba Ray.

00:22:34Well, he thought it was a slow count.

00:22:35Hey, you were asking me about relating to Stephanie McMahon and that sort of marriage stuff.

00:22:39You're married.

00:22:40Yeah, I don't know.

00:22:40You're real, you're so hit pecked, you're cackling asleep.

00:22:43How do you relate to that?

00:22:44I don't know how I would react to this situation.

00:22:46I mean, I believe it wasn't step five.

00:22:48What a cross body that time, flying tackle by Christian.

00:22:53Can he make a tag now to Edge?

00:22:55Can Bubba Ray get to the corner to Devon?

00:22:57Uh-oh.

00:22:58And Devon into the ring.

00:23:00Here comes Edge, tag was made, referee never saw it.

00:23:04Gotta see it to call it, Michael, I didn't see it either.

00:23:06Bubba Ray and Devon doing a good job to distract the referee,

00:23:09never saw the tag between Christian and Edge and now Devon in the ring.

00:23:12Uh-oh.

00:23:16Christian perched on the top rope, Devon up, Christian now,

00:23:19those right hands to the ribs of Devon.

00:23:21Uh-oh.

00:23:21Knocks him off, lands on his feet.

00:23:24Christian kicked to the midsection, look out now, from the second row.

00:23:27My, what a maneuver by Christian, Devon's in trouble.

00:23:30That may do it for Devon.

00:23:33He's done in, I believe.

00:23:34Reverse DDT by Christian as he tries to get to a corner, but he's in the wrong corner.

00:23:38Look at Edge, he wants the tag so bad he can taste it.

00:23:41Can he get there?

00:23:42Fans on their feet.

00:23:44Uh-oh.

00:23:44Here comes Bubba Ray, and here comes Edge.

00:23:46And what a right hand by Edge.

00:23:48A momentum shift here for Edge and Christian.

00:23:52Spinning heel kick from Bubba Ray under the chin.

00:23:56Stoops Devon up and down.

00:24:01My!

00:24:02Bubba Ray just clocked his own brother, Devon.

00:24:05Do you hear the smack?

00:24:06You're on smack now.

00:24:08Bubba Ray moves out of the way.

00:24:09Edge now in middle of the ring.

00:24:12My!

00:24:13Fall away slam.

00:24:16That may do it.

00:24:17Or if that didn't, this will.

00:24:18Bubba Ray's second rope now.

00:24:20Edge to his feet.

00:24:21Edge counters.

00:24:24No.

00:24:25What's he gonna do here?

00:24:26High-risk maneuver, top rope by Edge.

00:24:29Wait a minute.

00:24:31Edge's left knee gave out as he came down to the mat with that Hurricanrana.

00:24:35They tore a ligament there.

00:24:37And Edge is in serious pain, you can see it in his face, King.

00:24:41Whoa, he needs to get out of there.

00:24:42My!

00:24:43He cannot stand on his knee.

00:24:45And Devon with a cover, hooks the leg and it's over.

00:24:48Edge can put no pressure on that left knee.

00:24:50For your winner, the Dudley Boys.

00:24:53He couldn't hold Devon up as Devon came out of the corner.

00:24:56And the Dudley Boys pick up the victory and now Christian trying to protect his brother Edge.

00:25:03Well, look at Bubba Ray going right after that.

00:25:04No, not.

00:25:07And there's the half busted grab on that injured knee of Edge.

00:25:13Devon's gotten rid of Christian, now they're both working on Edge.

00:25:16Look at this.

00:25:16Now, here come the Acolytes.

00:25:19The Acolytes with that card game still in their mind.

00:25:22Jason Devon at Bubba Ray.

00:25:25Farouk and Bradshaw after the Dudley Boys.

00:25:27Man, I don't think the Acolytes came down here to save Edge.

00:25:30I think they came after the Dudleys.

00:25:32But of more media concern, well, there's Stephanie McMahon.

00:25:36Uh-oh.

00:25:36She's waiting on her former fiancee Tess.

00:25:39What in the world is she gonna say to Tess?

00:25:42I mean, think about what's going on inside her.

00:25:44Think about the bundle of nerves she must be.

00:25:48We're back on SmackDown and King Edge has suffered an injury to his left leg.

00:25:52Let's take a look at what happened as he went from the Hurricanrana on Bubba Ray Dudley from the top

00:25:56rope.

00:25:57Right there, you can see he twisted his knee.

00:26:01I jimmied it.

00:26:02Uh-oh.

00:26:03I heard it pop.

00:26:06Man, I popped it.

00:26:07Come on.

00:26:08I heard it pop.

00:26:10I jimmied it, man.

00:26:12Alex, he's being attended to by the EMTs.

00:26:15Hopefully we'll have an update on Edge's injury a little bit later on.

00:26:18But here comes D'Lo Brown.

00:26:25D'Lo Brown with a big opportunity tonight to regain the European title.

00:26:30One ball.

00:26:32And then it's for the world.

00:26:33We're going to have a security championship.

00:26:36In the ring, the challenger from Chicago and all.

00:26:39Weighing in at 268 pounds, D'Lo Brown.

00:26:45And did you say, Michael, they're gonna try to get his word on the exact nature of the injury to

00:26:50Edge?

00:26:51That's what we're hoping for a little bit later on.

00:26:56So D'Lo Brown set to take on the Bulldog for the European Championship.

00:27:02I guess he got something to say.

00:27:05Bulldog, I hear you running around the back claiming you're the best damn European champ there's ever been.

00:27:11Well, everybody knows that I'm the only four-time World Wrestling Federation European champ.

00:27:16So I guess that qualifies me as being the best.

00:27:21Now everybody knows that I'm the only person that gave a damn about that title.

00:27:26I'm the only one that brought prestige to it.

00:27:28So Bulldog, what you need to do is bring your jacked up butt down here so I can take my

00:27:32size 13 lugs and stick them where the sun don't shine.

00:27:39Be careful what you ask for.

00:27:42You might get it.

00:27:43And his opponent being accompanied to the ring by the Mean Street Posse from Manchester, England.

00:27:50Weighing in at 250 pounds, he is the World Wrestling Federation European champion, the British Bulldog.

00:28:01Yeah, the Bulldog with his running buddies, the Mean Street Posse.

00:28:07You know, it was the Mean Street Posse who were instrumental in helping the Bulldog defeat D'Lo Brown for

00:28:12the European title.

00:28:13These guys are just down here for moral support, Michael.

00:28:17Let's face it, there aren't that many Europeans in the United States.

00:28:21So he needs a little cheering section.

00:28:23And wait a minute, the referee having some words with Joey Abs, Rodney, and Pete Gaston.

00:28:28What?

00:28:30What's he saying?

00:28:31Looks like he's sending him back.

00:28:34Well, this is great news for D'Lo Brown with the European title on the line.

00:28:38Wait, the ref's taking the posse out of the game here.

00:28:40This is just not fair.

00:28:43The European title is on the line and D'Lo Brown hammering away on the British Bulldog,

00:28:48who finds himself alone all of a sudden.

00:28:50Here in the ring, D'Lo off the ropes, kick to the face of the Bulldog.

00:28:55Four-time European champion D'Lo Brown misses with the right hand.

00:28:58And look at that takedown by D'Lo.

00:29:00I know the European title means a lot to D'Lo.

00:29:03I know he's very, very proud of it when he won it.

00:29:06But come on, let's face it, he says nobody else gave his prestige.

00:29:09What about the British Bulldog?

00:29:10The people in Europe love the Bulldog, they always have.

00:29:13Not the last time we were in England.

00:29:15And look at this now, D'Lo Brown picking the Bulldog up.

00:29:18Went for the running powerbomb and last counter by the Bulldog.

00:29:22Stephanie McMahon waiting outside the arena,

00:29:25hoping that her former fiancee Tess is gonna arrive here tonight on SmackDown.

00:29:29Wait a minute, how can you say that, Michael?

00:29:31What?

00:29:31All you saw was the same thing I saw, same thing everybody else saw.

00:29:34We saw Stephanie McMahon waiting patiently or waiting impatiently outside the arena.

00:29:39Who else is she waiting for, King?

00:29:41Duh, she's married, you know.

00:29:43Please. She could be waiting for her husband.

00:29:44You know darn well Stephanie McMahon wants nothing to do with Triple H.

00:29:47She didn't wanna be married to him, she hates the man, she was tricked into it.

00:29:51Wait, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, wait a minute.

00:29:54After all Triple H has done to the McMahon family,

00:29:56you can sit there and tell me Stephanie McMahon does not hate Triple H.

00:30:00And look at this, Bulldog tossed over the top rope by D'Lo Brown.

00:30:06Bulldog trying to gain his breath outside the ring.

00:30:08D'Lo wanted to go out after him.

00:30:10And Bulldog favoring his lower back there.

00:30:12And wait a minute.

00:30:13Look at this.

00:30:14Referee's back turn, that's Val Venus.

00:30:16Val Venus meets the Bulldog and Armageddon in ten days.

00:30:19And look at Val Venus hammering away.

00:30:21We got Armageddon right here, Michael, look at this.

00:30:23And D'Lo Brown taking exception that Val Venus has interrupted his champ to win the European title.

00:30:27And he's going after Val.

00:30:29Well, I guess D'Lo feels he had that European title locked up.

00:30:34And now D'Lo-

00:30:35I don't know what he's thinking now though.

00:30:36Val Venus whipping D'Lo into the corner.

00:30:39The bell's rung, this match is over.

00:30:42But Val Venus has gone after both the Bulldog and D'Lo Brown.

00:30:47My.

00:30:49Well, you're right, this match is over.

00:30:50And if you ask me, I think Val has just cost D'Lo the European title.

00:30:54Well, maybe Val Venus believed D'Lo Brown was gonna win the European title tonight.

00:30:58Val knowing that in ten days in Armageddon, he's got a shot against the Bulldog,

00:31:02didn't want that to happen.

00:31:04Sky High by D'Lo Brown.

00:31:11Well, perhaps that'll teach Val to get involved in D'Lo's business.

00:31:14I think Val was just trying to get a little retribution.

00:31:17Well, on the Bulldog for Monday night.

00:31:20So Val Venus playing D'Lo Brown didn't get a chance to win it.

00:31:23There's Stephanie.

00:31:51There's Stephanie.

00:31:53I'm the home of WrestleMania 2000 on Sunday, April 2nd.

00:31:57If you're planning to attend WrestleMania here at the Pond,

00:31:59a limited number of tickets will be available by mail order only.

00:32:02Go to WWF.com beginning this Saturday for the special WrestleMania ticket order form.

00:32:08It may be your only chance to attend WrestleMania 2000 live and in person.

00:32:13Wow.

00:32:14Uh-oh.

00:32:16Here we go.

00:32:23You think that you're better?

00:32:27Well, you better get ready.

00:32:32Bow to the masters.

00:32:35Break it down.

00:32:39Well, there's X-Pac with-

00:32:42Something.

00:32:43And Road Dogg.

00:32:45What are these guys gonna do now?

00:32:48What is D-Generation X up to?

00:32:51I don't know, that's the great thing about DX.

00:32:53You absolutely never know what they're gonna pull off.

00:32:56Well, they are the most controversial group in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.

00:33:00But, King, I gotta ask you.

00:33:01I mean, hasn't DX caused enough problems already in the last couple of weeks?

00:33:05Huh?

00:33:06How can you cause too many problems?

00:33:10What are they doing?

00:33:11The New Age Outlaws, the Tag Team Champions will defend those titles in Armageddon against the Rock and

00:33:16Stock Connection.

00:33:17X-Pac, who's already caused some problems with Kane tonight, will meet Kane one-on-one a week from this

00:33:23Sunday on Pay-Per-View.

00:33:25My birthday was Monday, I didn't know these guys here.

00:33:28Wait, wait a minute.

00:33:38The Pond is jumping in Anaheim.

00:33:44SmackDown on UPN with a visit from D-Generation X.

00:33:50And I can only imagine what this is all about.

00:33:57Since we're at Killer Cali, bow down when DX comes to your town.

00:34:06Bow down when DX comes to town.

00:34:11You know what makes DX so great?

00:34:14Is that we do what we say and we say what we do.

00:34:20And Kane, I say what I'm doing to you at Armageddon is I'm gonna beat you.

00:34:30I'm gonna humiliate you in front of your old lady.

00:34:36And then I just might, for all the people in the crowd and

00:34:40all the people around the world, rip that mask off.

00:34:43Uh-oh. And show everybody what you've been hiding under there for so long.

00:34:48Whoa.

00:34:48That's at Armageddon on Pay-Per-View in ten days.

00:34:52Yo, Billy, tell him to do it.

00:34:58Now, Armageddon, the New Age Outlaws,

00:35:01the greatest tag team ever in the World Wrestling Federation,

00:35:06put the tag team titles on the line against the Rock and Sock Connection.

00:35:20Now, Mick, I read your book and couldn't even get by the introduction.

00:35:24It was so horrible.

00:35:25And Rocky, I think you said it best.

00:35:28So at Armageddon, the New Age Outlaws will show the Rock and Sock Connection

00:35:34why you absolutely suck.

00:35:43The future, the future.

00:35:45But there's no time like the present.

00:35:50You see, tonight, it's New Age Outlaws, X to the P to the A to the C,

00:35:55against the Hardy Boys and the WWF Champion, The Big Show.

00:36:02Wow, that's gonna be a war later on tonight on Sunday.

00:36:05Well, Hardy Boys, up until now, the New Age Outlaws have been making you.

00:36:10Tonight, we start breaking you.

00:36:13You see, you've acquired the services of the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion,

00:36:19The Big Show, Paul White.

00:36:21But even D-Generation X can overcome that obstacle.

00:36:26You see, Paul White, you're not a mountain that we can't climb.

00:36:30But enough about us.

00:36:32This week is a week of joyous celebration.

00:36:37So now, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

00:36:43children of all ages, D-Generation X proudly brings to you.

00:36:47D-Generation X.

00:36:48No, no, no.

00:36:49Not only is he the game, not only is he our faithful leader,

00:36:55but he is the latest member of the McMahon family, Triple H, Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

00:37:04No.

00:37:05What an introduction.

00:37:10Wait a minute, King.

00:37:13That's Vince McMahon.

00:37:15Look at this.

00:37:18Look at this.

00:37:21Yeah, you find this hilarious.

00:37:22Well, he's part of the family.

00:37:25He's looking like the family.

00:37:30Triple H on his way to the ring.

00:37:34King, I'll tell you what, a week from this Sunday at Armageddon,

00:37:38Triple H takes on Vince McMahon, right?

00:37:41He's already taking him on as a father-in-law.

00:37:43Congratulations.

00:37:44Well, that match at Armageddon has taken on a whole new dimension,

00:37:48a whole new meaning.

00:37:49Yeah, family feud.

00:37:52Triple H for the audacity to show off that wedding band.

00:37:56That's nice, very expensive.

00:38:01Congratulations.

00:38:05So how's married life been treating you?

00:38:08Pretty good, you know?

00:38:10It's a beautiful thing, man.

00:38:12What's so happening?

00:38:13We've been tired, but we're pretty good.

00:38:19Well, I don't want you to be embarrassed, but we got you some stuff.

00:38:25We put our heads together and got you a few things.

00:38:27Look at this.

00:38:28First of all, this is your great family portrait.

00:38:31Greatest family portrait.

00:38:34You guys are too much.

00:38:35I mean, went to all the trouble to get me put in the family portrait.

00:38:39How nice.

00:38:43You know, I never thought anybody could actually have a bigger head than Vince.

00:38:51You guys are great.

00:38:53Look at all these gifts.

00:38:54Hey, you guys, people have to admit, this is the greatest group of guys in the world.

00:39:02Two toasters?

00:39:04Yeah.

00:39:05I could never heat up that many buns at once.

00:39:09You got, oh, look.

00:39:11Look at Proctor Silex.

00:39:12Pretty good model right here.

00:39:14Proctor Silex?

00:39:20Iron.

00:39:21You're the best.

00:39:23I'll put it over here.

00:39:24All right.

00:39:25Here, this is from me.

00:39:26This is from me.

00:39:27This is good.

00:39:28This is good.

00:39:29This is you?

00:39:29You picked this out yourself?

00:39:30Yes.

00:39:31What is it?

00:39:32What is it?

00:39:34It's beautiful.

00:39:35This will be good.

00:39:36It's lingerie.

00:39:38Yeah.

00:39:39How about that?

00:39:42Uh-oh.

00:39:46This is ridiculous.

00:39:47Is that even your size?

00:39:49I don't think that's gonna fit me.

00:39:52I don't know.

00:39:53It'll look great on me.

00:39:54Are these panties crotchless?

00:39:56I think so.

00:39:58Hey, man.

00:40:00Hey.

00:40:02Well, I'm kinda bummed out, because I guess you and I, we had the same idea.

00:40:06But here it is, man, with all my love.

00:40:08Great minds think alike.

00:40:10It'll look great, Honor.

00:40:11I'll tell you that right now.

00:40:12What is this, lingerie?

00:40:14Well, just open it and see, man.

00:40:16There's nothing in here.

00:40:18Exactly!

00:40:22That one's for me.

00:40:23I'm a little, getting a little tore up right now.

00:40:27That one's, go ahead and open it.

00:40:30It's a front row ticket.

00:40:32It's a front row seat.

00:40:33Look, right there, front row center, Armageddon for Stephanie, so that your lovely bride can watch

00:40:40you beat the fire out of her father.

00:40:43My gosh!

00:40:44Come on!

00:40:46Now see, that just proves it.

00:40:49Once and for all, you guys, you're not only the greatest, you're the most thoughtful friends a guy can have.

00:40:55A front row ticket.

00:41:00Pretty much just like where this moron is sitting, right here.

00:41:07Nice hair, by the way, you putts.

00:41:10A front row ticket for my beautiful wife to sit up close and watch her daddy, my father-in-law,

00:41:23get the living crap kicked out of them by me.

00:41:31And I'll tell you what, as great as this gift is, I'm gonna up the ante just a little bit

00:41:41and make this present that much better.

00:41:44Because, seeing as how I've got this new found family stroke and all around here, I'm gonna go ahead and

00:41:55make this match between the honcho and myself, anything goes.

00:42:02What?

00:42:03False count anywhere, we can fight anywhere, we can do anything we want.

00:42:10Weapons, it does not matter.

00:42:13So the reality of it is, Vince, dad, at Armageddon, your little baby is gonna sit front row center and

00:42:29watch me beat you until you can't stand up.

00:42:36Break it down.

00:42:37Okay, things just keep getting worse for Vince McMahon.

00:42:40Not only one-on-one against Triple H at Armageddon, but now it's no holds barred.

00:42:44Anything goes, that's right.

00:42:46Anything goes.

00:42:47Wow.

00:42:49Armageddon is gonna be something, Michael Cole.

00:42:51No holds barred, Triple H, Vince, and Armageddon in ten days on pay-per-view.

00:42:57Rock, rock.

00:42:59How do I beat this candy chain?

00:43:01I beat this champ.

00:43:02What do we want?

00:43:03Listen, I just want to tell you.

00:43:05I mean, the guy's really, he's not there, Rock.

00:43:09That elbow just kind of sent him over the edge.

00:43:11Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:43:12Look at the Rock's eyes.

00:43:12You see any fear in the Rock's eyes of a man named Al?

00:43:16Well, the Rock says he'll slap the taste of Al's mouth just like this and throw them.

00:43:19Hey, wait a minute.

00:43:21That's it.

00:43:22No.

00:43:23What's he doing?

00:43:26Stay out of it.

00:43:27Stay out of it.

00:43:28We're a team.

00:43:28Stay the hell out of it, team.

00:43:30It's crazy.

00:43:30Stay out of it.

00:43:37We're a team.

00:43:52We're a team.

00:43:54I'm telling you, just stay out of it.

00:43:55It's Al and the Rock later on tonight.

00:43:59And there you see Stephanie McMahon.

00:44:01Mankind still anxiously awaiting the arrival of her former fiancee Teston.

00:44:07How can you put into words to describe what she's gonna have to go through tonight?

00:44:11What's she gonna say to him?

00:44:12I have no idea.

00:44:23Mankind.

00:44:24And here comes Mankind who, a week from this Sunday at Armageddon,

00:44:29a team of The Rock to take on the New Age Outlaws for the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Titles.

00:44:35Hey, look at that.

00:44:37Somebody found one of his books.

00:44:39Boy, they're hard to find.

00:44:41Well, tonight, WWF SmackDown is brought to you by THQ's WrestleMania 2000 for Nintendo 64.

00:44:49The most electrifying game in the history of sports entertainment.

00:44:53And by WWF The Music Volume 4.

00:44:55Get the latest and greatest official WWF Superstar entrance themes.

00:44:59Now available at Hastings, your Entertainment Superstore.

00:45:02And by Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six for the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, and Sony PlayStation Platform.

00:45:09www.redstorm.com

00:45:16Hello, Anaheim.

00:45:21You know, I like to think that I don't ask for a whole lot of favors.

00:45:26What I'd like everybody to do this Sunday here in California and around the country is go down to your

00:45:33local store and pick up the New York Times.

00:45:40Because they sell that Sunday edition everywhere.

00:45:42I want you to look at the bestseller section.

00:45:48Oh, no.

00:45:52In the book section.

00:45:53And I think you'll see that on the bestseller list, well, we've got a couple of ex-presidents.

00:46:00We've got three presidential hopefuls.

00:46:04We've got the first man who walked on the moon.

00:46:07We've got two Pulitzer Prize winners.

00:46:10And we've got the Dalai Lama.

00:46:14And at the very top of that list.

00:46:18The top?

00:46:21At number one.

00:46:24Well, you've got a first time author named Mick Foley.

00:46:28And he's kicking their asses.

00:46:30All right.

00:46:31Mankind number one on the New York Times bestseller list.

00:46:35It would be real difficult for me to come out here and thank all the book critics.

00:46:39Because they're too damn stupid to read it themselves.

00:46:43I can't thank the magazines and the newspapers because it's beneath them to read a book that a pro wrestler

00:46:50wrote.

00:46:51So what I'm gonna have to do is thank wrestling fans around this country.

00:47:00For making my little book numero uno.

00:47:05And it's unbelievable.

00:47:07Which is very nice, but I gotta be honest, it's kind of hard to sit back and enjoy that.

00:47:12When I've got a situation going on where my two best friends are at each other's throats.

00:47:19So what I'd like to do is kind of make an emotional appeal to both Al Snow for acting like

00:47:25a total idiot.

00:47:26And The Rock, although I know at this point Al deserves it to maybe put your situations aside.

00:47:33Forget about this whole thing.

00:47:35Let's make it maybe The Rock and Sock and Al connection.

00:47:40Hey, wait.

00:47:41He said nothing about Y2J.

00:47:57What is Y2J, Chris Jericho doing out here?

00:48:03The man that's gonna be the next Intercontinental Champion.

00:48:06He can do whatever he wants, we can go wherever he wants.

00:48:09Well, he meets China at Armageddon a week from this Sunday for the Intercontinental title.

00:48:16Would you please, please cut it with the sentimental, sappy BS?

00:48:25I mean, you're out here whining and complaining.

00:48:29My two best friends are fighting.

00:48:30I don't know what to do.

00:48:32I got news for you.

00:48:33Both those idiots aren't your friends.

00:48:36They hate you.

00:48:38Everybody hates you.

00:48:39No.

00:48:40All the people at home, all these people in the arena hate you.

00:48:46And most importantly, Y2J hates you.

00:48:52I guess everybody does hate him.

00:48:54And you wanna brag and boast about a number one best selling book?

00:48:58Big deal.

00:48:59The only reason anybody bought your book in the first place is they were hoping that you would die at

00:49:04the end of it.

00:49:06Happy ending.

00:49:08That's why I'm begging you and pleading with you.

00:49:12Please accept my challenge of a match tonight.

00:49:16And that way...

00:49:17What?

00:49:18When I write my highly anticipated autobiography, I can entitle the first chapter,

00:49:25Anaheim, the night I ended that pathetic, feeble-minded Mike Foley's career.

00:49:33Mike, I think that's Mick.

00:49:35Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:49:37Wait, Y2J, what you're seeing is you want a match tonight.

00:49:41See, I've got a little bitter idea because I don't feel like taking my fat ass and walking it up

00:49:45the ramp and back down the ramp.

00:49:47So I say, let's have our little match right about now.

00:49:52Well, Mankind's accepted the challenge and-

00:49:55Wait, wait, wait.

00:49:55Can we do this?

00:49:56We can do whatever we want.

00:49:58It's gonna be Y2J and Mankind right here on SmackDown from the home of WrestleMania 2000,

00:50:04the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim.

00:50:06And they lock up Mankind, driving Y2J back into the corner.

00:50:13And what a slap by Jericho to Mankind.

00:50:16It's Jericho and Chyna and Armageddon for the Intercontinental Championship.

00:50:20Just ten days, King, from the National Car Rental Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

00:50:25Let's face it, too.

00:50:26I think Chris Jericho's got a point.

00:50:28Oh, what another slap.

00:50:30Hey, look at this.

00:50:32Mankind wants another one.

00:50:33And another.

00:50:34And Mankind, who seems to be impervious to pain, hammering away now on Chris Jericho.

00:50:43And Mankind, into the corner, and in need of the face of Jericho.

00:50:50What a shocker, Mankind's book number one on the New York Times bestseller list this weekend.

00:50:55Yeah, a 300 pound bestselling author.

00:50:58I think he weighs more than Orson Welles.

00:51:00Well, 300 pounds are about to crash down on Chris Jericho.

00:51:03Mankind from the second rope.

00:51:07Jericho rolling out of the way wisely.

00:51:10Smartest thing Y2J ever did.

00:51:14You know, you can say what you want about Chris Jericho.

00:51:16He's a whiner.

00:51:17He's a manipulator.

00:51:18He's always complaining.

00:51:19But he's a tremendous athlete.

00:51:21He's wise in the ring.

00:51:22And Mankind taking advantage right here.

00:51:24And I think that's why Y2J will be the next Intercontinental Champion.

00:51:28Wow.

00:51:29Mankind with a bulldog, Jericho face first into the mat.

00:51:34And I was gonna say earlier, Jericho's got a point when he says that

00:51:38everybody hates Mankind or at least that The Rock and

00:51:43Al Snow are not Mankind's friends.

00:51:45Rock never says he's Mankind's friend.

00:51:47But he's a tremendous partner of Mankind.

00:51:50They're gonna team with each other to take on the New Age Outlaws.

00:51:53They're the number one contenders for the tag team titles.

00:51:56What a maneuver by Jericho.

00:51:58Great balance on the ropes and a drop kick to the face of Mankind.

00:52:01That was a piece of art.

00:52:02That was a piece of great literary work.

00:52:04Man.

00:52:05Jericho flew into that one.

00:52:07Mankind with his right arm.

00:52:09And look out now.

00:52:10Come on over here.

00:52:11Over the ringside into that steel chair.

00:52:13Jericho's head bouncing off the chair.

00:52:15And Mankind.

00:52:17Uh-oh, here we go.

00:52:18Jericho with a chair now and Y2J's in trouble.

00:52:21Where you going, Michael?

00:52:22I'm getting out of the way.

00:52:23Referee Teddy Long has the chair.

00:52:25I'm scared.

00:52:26And Jericho just drop kick the chair, thundering off the head of Mankind.

00:52:31That steel chair right back into the face of Mike Foley.

00:52:34Mick Foley.

00:52:36Look at this.

00:52:38Mankind tossed back into the ring.

00:52:40Y2J trying to take advantage.

00:52:40Anytime you're scared, just get behind me, Michael.

00:52:42Don't be scared.

00:52:44And Jericho hammering away.

00:52:45You know, Jericho claiming he suffered a concussion at the hands of Chyna last week.

00:52:49And Chyna retaliated for the hammer shots to her thumb at the hands of Jericho,

00:52:54with hammer shots to the head of Jericho.

00:52:56Look at Jericho.

00:52:56Although he is really showing his vicious side here tonight.

00:52:58I love it.

00:53:00Look at this.

00:53:01You know, gang, he's made an amazing recovery since that concussion since Monday.

00:53:08And Chris Jericho looking for the walls of Jericho with a man of a claw by Mankind applied,

00:53:12and then a low blow by Y2J.

00:53:16That's a classic counter right there.

00:53:18And there's kick to the midsection.

00:53:21Jericho is going for that submission maneuver, the walls of Jericho.

00:53:24Look out, Jericho.

00:53:26Piledriver by Mankind.

00:53:28Jericho telegraphed that one, and Mankind countered.

00:53:30And wait a minute.

00:53:35Mankind kicked to the midsection again.

00:53:38Jericho whipped off the ropes.

00:53:40Mankind misses with the elbow.

00:53:41Jericho with a flying elbow to the face of Mankind, and both men are down.

00:53:45See, Jericho is just, I think he's a little bit too quick for Mike Foley here.

00:53:49Uh-oh.

00:53:50Hey, wait a minute.

00:53:51We got company, King.

00:53:53Do we ever?

00:53:54Chyna and Miss Kitty.

00:53:56Woo, look at that company.

00:53:58Get it, get it, get it, get it.

00:53:59Chyna's the Intercontinental Champion.

00:54:00She defends against Jericho in just ten days.

00:54:04Get out again.

00:54:05Get a cat's eye view of this match or something?

00:54:07Wait a minute, what's Miss Kitty doing?

00:54:09A little scouting report perhaps for Chyna.

00:54:11Look at Chyna.

00:54:12And Chyna with the Intercontinental title to the face of Chris Jericho.

00:54:17Miss Kitty and the referee distracted, and Mankind's going for Mr. Socko.

00:54:21No, not Mr. Socko.

00:54:24Hey, Mankind inadvertently.

00:54:27Hey.

00:54:27Puppet and Miss Kitty was on the apron.

00:54:29Jericho, can he take advantage?

00:54:31He does.

00:54:33Y2J steals one.

00:54:36Here's your winner, Chris Jericho.

00:54:40Okay, Mankind was obviously concerned after he inadvertently ran into Miss Kitty on

00:54:44the apron, and it cost him.

00:54:47Well, it's obvious that Chyna and Miss Kitty came out here to try to put the screws

00:54:52to Jericho, but it backfired.

00:54:55Y2J picks up the win.

00:54:58Chyna and Miss Kitty, they're playing backfiring for Chris Jericho.

00:55:04Well, King, right now we're going to bring you up to date on the injuries suffered by Stone Cold

00:55:07Steve Austin last month at Survivor Series.

00:55:10You recall Austin suffered head, neck, and back injuries as a result of this hit-and-run attack

00:55:15outside the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.

00:55:17Well, finally, all the tests and exams have been completed on Stone Cold, and it's been decided

00:55:22that Austin will undergo surgery in the near future.

00:55:26Now, earlier this week, Stone Cold met with renowned spinal cord specialist Dr. Henry Bowman in Cleveland,

00:55:31and following the examination, it's been determined Austin will indeed need to have surgery

00:55:36to relieve pressure on the nerves of his upper spine.

00:55:39Again, Stone Cold Steve Austin will need to have surgery.

00:55:44Get in that car.

00:55:45Get in that car!

00:55:53Hey, buddy, you seen Stephanie McMahon come through here yet?

00:55:55Yes, just down the hall.

00:55:56She came about five minutes ago.

00:55:57All right, thanks, man.

00:56:01Well, Test has arrived, and he's looking for Stephanie.

00:56:07I'll tell you, what in the world does Stephanie say to him?

00:56:11How do you think he's gonna react?

00:56:12I don't know, but it's time for you to stand up, put your hand over your heart.

00:56:15He's got a true American hero.

00:56:18Picking his way to the ring from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 237 pounds.

00:56:24He's the only gold medalist to grace the World Wrestling Federation ring, and the only celebrated real athlete in the

00:56:33World Wrestling Federation, Kurt Engel.

00:56:37I'll tell you, when I see all those medals around his neck, it almost brings a tear to my eye,

00:56:41and I'm not really an emotional guy.

00:56:45The only celebrated real athlete here in the WWF.

00:56:49As all of you know, I am the most celebrated real athlete in WWF history.

00:56:58He's also a tremendous motivational speaker.

00:57:01What's wrong with these people?

00:57:05And tonight, I am willing to give another real athlete the opportunity to team up with me,

00:57:15the greatest wrestler in the whole entire world.

00:57:19You know, if I had a son- Thank you.

00:57:21I'd want him to be just like that guy right there.

00:57:23Now, to compare an Olympic gold medalist with a black belt in martial arts would be somewhat degrading to my

00:57:35many, many accomplishments.

00:57:38He's sacrilegious almost.

00:57:39But I am willing to give Mr. Blackman a chance to prove himself to me and to all of you,

00:57:47my wonderful fan.

00:57:50This guy's magnanimous.

00:57:52So Kurt Angle's giving Steve Blackman a chance to prove himself.

00:57:56Exactly.

00:57:57I'm glad you're paying attention here, Michael.

00:58:00Steve Blackman, of course, he's, you know, he's great at what he does.

00:58:04Top of the line.

00:58:12He's got black belt, brown belt, every kind of belt you can imagine in martial arts, but all of those

00:58:16belts combined don't equal an Olympic gold medal.

00:58:19Well, you know, King, this is gonna be an interesting team here because Steve Blackman and Kurt Angle go one

00:58:24-on-one on December 12th at Armageddon.

00:58:26It's got a combined weight of 409 pounds.

00:58:31I'm going to pressure the Headbanger.

00:58:35Well, the Headbanger's on their way to the ring.

00:58:37They're part of that big 16-man tag team battle royal at Armageddon on pay per view.

00:58:42The winners to meet the tag team champions at the Royal Rumble.

00:58:46And King, speaking of the Rumble, tickets go on sale Sunday for the Royal Rumble at Madison Square Garden.

00:58:53Woo-hoo, yeah.

00:58:54I'm gonna tell you something, though.

00:58:55Just looking at this, it's an embarrassment for an athlete the stature of Kurt Angle to even be in the

00:59:01same ring with a couple of buffoons dressed the way they are like the Headbangers.

00:59:05Buffoons?

00:59:06Yeah, their attic's a little dusty.

00:59:08Tomas and Angle now set to lock up in the middle of the ring.

00:59:11This'll be a good one.

00:59:12We saw the arrival of Tess looking for Stephanie McMahon.

00:59:16Man, oh, man, I can only imagine what that conversation must be like.

00:59:19You're a married man.

00:59:20Tell me, what's it gonna be like?

00:59:21I have no idea.

00:59:22I don't know what I do in that situation.

00:59:23I don't think anybody knows until you're confronted with it.

00:59:26What a clothesline by Mosh on Kurt Angle.

00:59:29Angle knocked down and there's the scoop slam by Mosh as well.

00:59:34Leg drop across the sternum of Angle, Mosh down into the cover.

00:59:38And a kick out after one by Kurt Angle.

00:59:40What about the new?

00:59:41I was just gonna say, when my wife and I first got married, we got along beautifully.

00:59:45When we left the church.

00:59:48Double-teamed by the Headbangers, midsection by Thrasher.

00:59:51King, what about the news we heard earlier on?

00:59:54Armageddon, a week from this Sunday, Vince and Triple H now gonna be a no holds barred match.

00:59:59Anything goes, fight all over the arena, it's gonna be great.

01:00:03Double-teamed again by the Headbangers.

01:00:05Nobody does it like the Headbangers.

01:00:06And look at the martial arts skill of Steve Blackman.

01:00:09He's had enough of his partner Kurt Angle.

01:00:12And Blackman wants to take matters into his own hands.

01:00:18Tag team, wait a minute.

01:00:20Mosh rolls over, Blackman hooks the leg and a kick out after two.

01:00:23The audacity of Blackman.

01:00:25Well, they gotta coexist tonight, Blackman and Angle.

01:00:27They're gonna be opponents at Armageddon.

01:00:29Knife edge chopped to the chest.

01:00:32Blackman delivering the elbow, he is so quick.

01:00:35Steve Blackman, the martial arts expert, is so quick.

01:00:38He's sudden.

01:00:39That's a better way to explain it.

01:00:40He's sudden.

01:00:40He's the lethal weapon.

01:00:42Backbreaker across the knee of Steve Blackman.

01:00:44Jim Ross loves to say he's quicker than a hiccup.

01:00:46Is that stupid or what?

01:00:49Head bumped by Blackman into the chest, hooks the leg.

01:00:52Kick out after two by Mosh.

01:00:55Still to come tonight, The Rock and Al Snow go one on one.

01:00:59Plus it's the Outlaws and X-Pac against the Hardys and the WWF Champion,

01:01:03the Big Show.

01:01:04Blackman misses right hand, pulling in Mosh.

01:01:06Nice side suplex.

01:01:07Blackman felt that one in the small to back.

01:01:10And can Blackman make a tag to Angle?

01:01:12He's crawling to the corner.

01:01:13The tag's made and Mosh gets to Thrasher.

01:01:16And here comes Thrasher now and the Headbangers, they're cooking.

01:01:20Thrasher with a big clothesline now to Steve Blackman.

01:01:22And look at the Headbangers go now.

01:01:23Thrasher off the tag by Mosh.

01:01:25Wips Angle into the ropes.

01:01:26A tremendous slam by Thrasher.

01:01:28Hooks the leg.

01:01:29Could be it too.

01:01:30And Blackman breaking up the count as Angle brought his shoulder up.

01:01:33These Headbangers are showing absolutely no respect for a great American hero here.

01:01:37The Headbangers take it into Blackman and Angle.

01:01:39Look at that.

01:01:40A little bit of slam dancing now.

01:01:41What a bicycle kick by Blackman as Thrasher knocks Angle down.

01:01:44Is that Greco Roman or what?

01:01:46Angle from behind after Blackman's kick.

01:01:49Come on.

01:01:50Angle hooks the leg.

01:01:51Could be it.

01:01:52And it's over.

01:01:53The team of Angle and Blackman defeat the Headbangers.

01:01:57So that's intense to see how happy he is.

01:01:59That's the way to celebrate.

01:02:01The real athlete.

01:02:03I don't think the Lever weapons appreciated it.

01:02:05Look at the look on the face of Steve Blackman.

01:02:07He's unappreciative.

01:02:08He should be happy.

01:02:09Kurt Angle won the match for him.

01:02:11Kurt Angle did not win the match for him.

01:02:13Blackman did the kick that allowed Angle to pick up the hook to him.

01:02:16I think Blackman's in shock because he's that close to greatness.

01:02:21Uh-oh.

01:02:23Come in.

01:02:34Andrew.

01:02:36Andrew.

01:02:37I don't even know what to say to you.

01:02:39I...

01:02:41I...

01:02:42I was drugged.

01:02:43I was drugged.

01:02:44I...

01:02:45I...

01:02:45I don't remember anything.

01:02:46It was my fault.

01:02:48I mean, I accept responsibility, but...

01:02:51But I...

01:02:52I still love you.

01:02:54Love you.

01:02:57Do you still love me?

01:03:02Steph.

01:03:05I don't know what to feel anymore.

01:03:12No.

01:03:16No.

01:03:18No.

01:03:19No.

01:03:20We're back on SmackDown, and just moments ago, Stephanie McMahon finally met with her former fiance,

01:03:25Tess, asking this heart-wrenching question.

01:03:30Do you still love me?

01:03:37Steph, I don't know what to feel anymore.

01:03:44Steph.

01:03:45It's my fault.

01:03:47No, I'm sorry.

01:03:48It's my fault.

01:03:49I'm sorry.

01:03:50So sorry.

01:03:52He'll come around.

01:03:53Give him some time.

01:03:56Give him some time.

01:03:57No.

01:03:59I'm so sorry.

01:04:00I'm so sorry.

01:04:04It's brutal.

01:04:06Oh.

01:04:08Wow, Michael.

01:04:09Obviously, Stephanie's...

01:04:12Stephanie's world is, uh...

01:04:14He didn't get shattered.

01:04:17Stephanie asking,

01:04:18Tess, do you still love me?

01:04:19Tess saying he doesn't know.

01:04:20And when you put yourself in Tess shoes,

01:04:22you've got to be extremely confused about everything

01:04:23that's been going on in the past 48 hours as well.

01:04:26He's a special challenge match scheduled for one fall.

01:04:30He's been accompanied by Hardcore Holly.

01:04:33He allegedly weighs well over 400 pounds.

01:04:42He's been accompanied by Hardcore Holly as Crash gets set for a special challenge match.

01:05:06Hey, Jerry, I just want to thank you for having me up here again.

01:05:09Last time I was out here, Michael Cole showed me no respect at all.

01:05:12Why is he lightweight?

01:05:13He's a lightweight.

01:05:15He would love to be a super heavyweight, but that will never happen.

01:05:19Uh-oh.

01:05:21Check out Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty Too Hotty.

01:05:26Now that's two guys right there that are wannabes.

01:05:29They want to be super heavyweight.

01:05:31Look at them.

01:05:32They're oversized midgets is all they are.

01:05:35Rockishi.

01:05:35Yeah, Hardcore, but what about that Tyrannosaurus following him?

01:05:42Look at that.

01:05:43That booty of his, you reckon he could get inside of a Volkswagen?

01:05:47Are you kidding?

01:05:49He don't wear 501 jeans, he wears 1002s.

01:05:53Well, Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty Too Hotty called Rikishi their homeboy, their homie.

01:05:59What?

01:06:00Rikishi's about to go one-on-one with Crash Holly.

01:06:03Does Rikishi fit into the super heavyweight category, Hardcore?

01:06:08He could possibly fit in the super heavyweight class, but he's still a little too small.

01:06:13But don't get me wrong, he is big.

01:06:15He's big and round.

01:06:17He's like a beach ball.

01:06:18My gosh, speaking of beach balls, there's two of them.

01:06:21Rikishi, who weighs well over 400 pounds, goes to work now on Crash Holly.

01:06:27Whipped into the corner and look at Rikishi go.

01:06:29I told Crash what to do and see he just doesn't listen to me.

01:06:32He has to do everything on his own, he has to do everything his own way.

01:06:36What's wrong with Crash?

01:06:37Look at this.

01:06:40Man, Rikishi, Crash face first into the mat.

01:06:46And Rikishi in control of Crash Holly, slams him down.

01:06:51Uh-oh, look out.

01:06:53No.

01:06:55Hardcore, what about this?

01:06:57Well, you know, it is nice to see two super heavyweights in the ring.

01:07:01You know that, Jerry.

01:07:02What did Crash weigh in at today after breakfast?

01:07:05Uh-oh.

01:07:06It was 5-0-5.

01:07:07There is that sit-out pile driver, and this one's over.

01:07:17It's a good thing I wasn't in there because Rikishi.

01:07:22He wouldn't do that to me.

01:07:23He'd be flat on his back right now.

01:07:24Well, on Raw Monday night, Rikishi, you were flat on your back, and Rikishi was sitting on your chest.

01:07:29That wasn't me, Michael Joel.

01:07:31You need to give me some glasses.

01:07:32That was-

01:07:33Look at this.

01:07:34Hey, let me ask, are you gonna go over there and help Crash, Mike?

01:07:38Look at this.

01:07:39Rikishi and Too Cool are getting down.

01:07:42Wait a minute.

01:07:43Whoo!

01:07:43They're causing an earthquake.

01:07:44Jerry, I hate bad people.

01:07:45I can't stand bad people.

01:07:47That is really disgusting right there.

01:07:50Rikishi and Too Cool getting down as Rikishi makes quick work of Crash Holly.

01:07:54That ain't nothing but Jellos.

01:07:56Well, there's The Rock, and The Rock is not in a pleasant mood.

01:08:00Al Snow is already hit and run tonight.

01:08:03Next, it's Rock and Arrow.

01:08:05What a one!

01:08:08SmackDown comes to you from the sold out Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim,

01:08:11the home of WrestleMania 2000 on Sunday, April 2nd.

01:08:15And King, if you're planning to attend WrestleMania here at the Pond,

01:08:17a limited number of tickets will be available by mail order only.

01:08:20Go to www.com beginning this Saturday for the special WrestleMania ticket order form.

01:08:26It may be your only chance to attend WrestleMania 2000.

01:08:29Here you see, man!

01:08:30Uh-oh!

01:08:30The Rock is coming.

01:08:35Well, the Pond has just exploded.

01:08:38Listen to this!

01:08:40Listen, Michael!

01:08:48He is the People's Champion, The Rock.

01:08:53The Rock.

01:08:55Pond has just been scheduled for one fall.

01:08:59In the ring from Miami, Florida, weighing it up 275 pounds, The Rock.

01:09:09I don't think I've ever heard a reaction like this ever, Michael!

01:09:12Listen to these people!

01:09:15They love The Rock here in California!

01:09:18They love The Rock everywhere!

01:09:21Finally, The Rock has come back to Anaheim!

01:09:37Now, to the jabronis in the TV truck, The Rock says, run the footage of what just took place.

01:09:46Uh-oh.

01:09:48Al's mouth just like this, and it's further-

01:09:50Hey!

01:09:51Ow!

01:09:53Ow!

01:09:54Ow!

01:09:56Ow!

01:09:57Ow!

01:09:58Ow!

01:09:59Ow!

01:10:01Ow!

01:10:02How are you all now, Snow?

01:10:03Ow!

01:10:03You want to jump The Rock from behind like a true candy ass?

01:10:08Oh!

01:10:13Well, The Rock says, let him tell you what is going to exactly take place tonight.

01:10:21Uh-oh!

01:10:21Here we go.

01:10:25In about a minute and 30 seconds,

01:10:27when The Rock stops talking,

01:10:29your crappy music is going to play.

01:10:32You're going to walk down that ramp.

01:10:34The Rock is going to get out of this ring,

01:10:36meet you at that ramp,

01:10:37and begin to whip your monkey ass all over Anaheim.

01:10:44Al Snow made a big mistake here tonight, Michael.

01:10:55Here they go.

01:10:56They're chanting The Rock's name.

01:11:04And when The Rock is ready,

01:11:07in the middle of the people's ring,

01:11:09on The Rock Show SmackDown,

01:11:13lay up the SmackDown.

01:11:17And more importantly than that,

01:11:19in front of the millions.

01:11:24Wow.

01:11:25And millions of The Rock's fans.

01:11:29The Rock is going to deliver

01:11:31the most electrifying move

01:11:34in sports entertainment.

01:11:37The people's elbow.

01:11:46One, two, three.

01:11:52If you smell it out!

01:11:57What The Rock!

01:12:05Uh-oh, this is extra special.

01:12:22He's cooking.

01:12:26What does everybody want?

01:12:28Well, The Rock extremely intense tonight,

01:12:32following that hit and run attack

01:12:33in the hands of Al Snow.

01:12:35Speaking of hit and run,

01:12:35Rock is the man of his word.

01:12:37No!

01:12:37Rock gonna fulfill his promise here,

01:12:39meeting Al Snow halfway to the ring,

01:12:41and here we go.

01:12:42The Rock exchanging right hands with Al Snow,

01:12:44into the steel stairs, goes Al Snow.

01:12:47But you know, when you look at this objectively,

01:12:49Al Snow has got everything to gain, nothing to lose.

01:12:51Here's an idiot with cheese wins for brains,

01:12:53and he's fighting The Rock.

01:12:54If he were to get a win over The Rock,

01:12:56ha-ho, he'd be the biggest name in the WWF!

01:12:59Well, I agree with you, King.

01:13:00Al Snow, a few fries short of a Happy Meal,

01:13:03but he's a great technical wrestler, and a, oh my!

01:13:07Rock with a big clothesline, knocking Al Snow down.

01:13:10You see, from Al Snow's point of view,

01:13:12he believed he was helping The Rock and Mankind out

01:13:14on Raw Monday night.

01:13:15He didn't believe he cost The Rock any matchup.

01:13:18How can you see from Al, Al Snow's point of view?

01:13:22Only a proctologist can see from that view.

01:13:25The Rock took exception that Al Snow cost him the match.

01:13:29Rock misses right hand, Al Snow now.

01:13:31Look out, oh my!

01:13:32Wow, you see that?

01:13:34Al Snow taking advantage of The Rock here,

01:13:37and now hammering away with the right hands.

01:13:40The People's Champ in trouble.

01:13:42I can't believe Al Snow got the upper hand on The Rock.

01:13:46Look at this.

01:13:47Mankind with a vested interest in this matchup.

01:13:50He's gotta be torn up here.

01:13:51No!

01:13:52Swinging neck breaker by The Rock.

01:13:55The Rock and Al Snow are the two men that Mankind considers his best friends, King.

01:14:01Uh-oh, look out.

01:14:03And The Rock going outside the ring after Al Snow.

01:14:06I don't know what I'm saying!

01:14:07Face first into the announce table goes Al Snow, and The Rock intense in this one.

01:14:13I think, I think Rock thinks it's the lobby of The Rock.

01:14:15Look out!

01:14:16Uh-oh, referee, referee down.

01:14:17The Rock just slammed into the referee, Mike Chioda.

01:14:20Al Snow got a chair!

01:14:21The steel chair across the back of The Rock!

01:14:24What's he doing?

01:14:26He's taking advantage of the matchup is what he's doing.

01:14:29Can't believe it.

01:14:30And there's a steel chair to the ribs and out of the shoulder of The Rock.

01:14:33And Al Snow's lost it out here.

01:14:35Sit down, Michael, don't be scared.

01:14:39Get up, Michael, get up.

01:14:40Look out.

01:14:41Rock, he blocked it.

01:14:42No, no he didn't.

01:14:44Right into the announce table, Al Snow with the advantage.

01:14:47Quickly into the ring, cover.

01:14:48Referee slowly making his way back in, hooks the leg.

01:14:50There's two in The Rock with his left shoulder up before the count of three.

01:14:54I can't believe that Al Snow was about one second away from beating The Rock.

01:14:58Well, The Rock brought Al Snow in Al Snow's type of match.

01:15:01You recall Al Snow's a former hardcore champion, King.

01:15:04Come on, Rock, this is Al Snow.

01:15:05Rock brought Al Snow outside the ring, and Al Snow took advantage.

01:15:09I know Al Snow, gosh.

01:15:11Moonsault, top rope, could be over here.

01:15:13What an upset.

01:15:15And Rock gets his shoulder up after a count of two.

01:15:18I know Al Snow can compete.

01:15:20He's just, well, calling him a pea brain would be an undeserved compliment.

01:15:25Reversal now.

01:15:26Here we go.

01:15:26Look out, Rock, man.

01:15:28There you go.

01:15:30And The Rock, can he take advantage here?

01:15:32Can he gain momentum against Al Snow, The Rock, and Mankind, and Armageddon?

01:15:36A week from this coming Sunday, take on the New Age Outlaws for the tag titles.

01:15:42And Rock, nice counter.

01:15:43Al Snow into the turnbuckle, and The Rock Cameron away with the right hand.

01:15:47There's another one.

01:15:48He is laying the smack it down on Al Snow now.

01:15:51Oh, wait a minute.

01:15:52Here we go, Samoan.

01:15:53Samoan drop by The Rock.

01:15:55Hooks the leg.

01:15:56It could be over to Al Snow.

01:15:58Tremendous resilience as he gets that right shoulder up, following the Samoan drop by The Rock.

01:16:03I still can't believe Al Snow is rising to the occasion like never before.

01:16:07Al Snow is hanging in this one, King.

01:16:09And there's a knee to the midsection.

01:16:11And now he goes to work on the back of The Rock.

01:16:14I told you.

01:16:15I know, ordinarily Al Snow couldn't hit sand if he fell off a camel.

01:16:18Look out.

01:16:18Now he's shining.

01:16:19Now he hits sand.

01:16:21Here we go.

01:16:22And the crowd comes to his feet in Anaheim.

01:16:25Now all is right with the world, Michael.

01:16:28There goes The People's elbow pad.

01:16:31Here comes the most electrifying move in sports entertainment, People's elbow.

01:16:36The Rock connected, floats into the cover, hooks the leg.

01:16:40There's two, and The Rock picks up the win over Al Snow.

01:16:53The Rock picks up the win over Al Snow.

01:16:56The Rock picks up the win over Al Snow.

01:16:57What are you doing Al Snow out here at ringside?

01:17:01The Rock picks up a huge win.

01:17:04You all right Al?

01:17:05You okay Al?

01:17:05Hey wait, where's he going?

01:17:06Look out, Rock.

01:17:08Look out.

01:17:09Al Snow from behind.

01:17:10Al Snow is lying in wait.

01:17:12And it's clocked The Rock with head.

01:17:14And Al Snow hammering away on The People's Champ.

01:17:17This match is over, King.

01:17:19Not as far as Al Snow's concerned, it's not.

01:17:21Al Snow is extremely jealous of The Rock.

01:17:24And look who's coming.

01:17:25It's the Buzzards, the New Age Outlaws.

01:17:28What is this?

01:17:29The tag champions who take on The Rock and Mankind and Armageddon.

01:17:33Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, aren't gonna wait for Armageddon.

01:17:37No!

01:17:38Well, I'd say the only thing DX and Al Snow have in common is they all hate The Rock.

01:17:44And Al Snow is extremely jealous of The Rock.

01:17:46Wait a minute, here comes Mankind.

01:17:49And there goes DX.

01:17:50Mankind with a steel chair.

01:17:55And Mankind telling Al Snow to back off.

01:17:58Uh-oh, what do we got here now?

01:18:00One, two, three, two.

01:18:02And he got-

01:18:05Mankind catching Al Snow, and what a difficult situation.

01:18:08Mankind torn between his two best friends.

01:18:11So much for the friendship of Mankind and Al Snow.

01:18:15We're back on SmackDown King, and The Rock delivering the people's elbow to Al Snow,

01:18:19floating into the cover and picking up the victory.

01:18:22The only problem was, Al Snow was a sore loser.

01:18:26Yeah, you're not kidding.

01:18:26And as The Rock was about to leave, Al Snow attacks from behind.

01:18:31Well, hit The Rock in the head with Head.

01:18:34Well, that wasn't the only attack we'd see, because the New Age Outlaws who take on

01:18:37The Rock and Stock Connection and Armageddon came from out of nowhere and

01:18:41stomped away at The Rock.

01:18:42Mr. Razz with the exclamation point, the jackhammer to The Rock.

01:18:47Take a look at this.

01:18:48Well, DX, or the New Age Outlaws there, putting the boots to The Rock until Mankind

01:18:54showed up with a metal chair, and he almost put in to Al Snow.

01:18:57Break it down.

01:19:03Well, here comes D-Generation X, set for this six-man tag team matchup.

01:19:10The Outlaws and X-Pac against the Hardy Boys and the WWF Champion,

01:19:16The Big Show, and this is gonna be a war.

01:19:20I love the awards.

01:19:29The Rope Dog, Jesse James, Mr. S, and X-Pac.

01:19:35Well, here you see X-Pac will take on Kane and Armageddon in 12 days on Pay-Per-View.

01:19:41The New Age Outlaws have to defend their tag team titles against The Rock and

01:19:45Stock Connection.

01:19:46We just saw The Rope Dog and Billy Gunn trying to draw first blood as they get

01:19:50ready for that matchup.

01:19:51Uh-oh.

01:19:52Here we go, Michael.

01:19:55And the New Age Outlaws,

01:19:57first being accompanied by Terry, North Carolina,

01:20:02and a combined weight of 430 pounds.

01:20:06And Jeff, The Hardy Boys.

01:20:10Hey, you know, it doesn't matter what anybody says.

01:20:12In my book, these two kids, The Hardy Boys, not once but twice,

01:20:17won the tag team titles only to be screwed by X-Pac.

01:20:21That's why your book is not the number one bestseller, Michael.

01:20:24These guys are not the tag team champions.

01:20:26They're a great team.

01:20:27And even better since they hooked up with Terry.

01:20:32And they may be even better now if they hooked up with The Big Show.

01:20:34And they're back to partner,

01:20:37the winning of 500 pounds.

01:20:39He is the world whistler motivation champion, The Big Show.

01:20:47Do you think the Hardys brought the Equalizer along tonight,

01:20:51seven feet two, 500 pounds?

01:20:54Well, being Equalizer, I don't know what is.

01:20:57The Big Show, the WWE Champion.

01:20:59He will defend the WWF title in Armageddon against The Big Boss Man.

01:21:06And you know The Big Show has been looking forward to that matchup for

01:21:10weeks and weeks and weeks.

01:21:15So it's The Big Show and The Hardys against DX, X-Pac and the New Age Outlaws.

01:21:21What a match.

01:21:25It'll be Matt Hardy going to work against Mr. Ash,

01:21:28starting things off in this six-man tag team matchup.

01:21:32Perhaps the New Age Outlaws and Hardy Boys will meet down the road again, King.

01:21:35The Hardy Boys are part of that 16-man tag team battle, Royal and Armageddon.

01:21:40The winners to get a shot at the tag team champs at the Royal Rumble.

01:21:46Matt Hardy ripped off the ropes.

01:21:47What a move, look at that.

01:21:48Great balance by Matt Hardy, countered by Mr. Ass.

01:21:52Matt lands on his feet, and here's the right hand now by Matt Hardy.

01:21:55These two kids have a lot of heart.

01:21:57Tremendous athletes, high flyers.

01:22:00Matt off the ropes now.

01:22:01What a takedown by Matt Hardy, and another one.

01:22:04The arm drags, effective, and there's the hip toss.

01:22:07I think the thing now about The Hardys is they feel confident that they can actually beat The Outlaws.

01:22:12The Hardy Boys have proved on a number of occasions that they can run with The Big Boys.

01:22:16They proved it twice against The Outlaws, and if it wasn't for that man, X-Pac,

01:22:19The Hardy Boys beat Tag Team Champions.

01:22:23Billy Gunn complaining his hair was being pulled.

01:22:26Now come on, if your hair's being pulled, you gotta complain.

01:22:30I agree with you, King, but his hair wasn't being pulled.

01:22:34He was being outclassed in that particular sequence by Matt Hardy.

01:22:38You know everything.

01:22:39Well, look at Road Dogg, a little juking and jiving in the ring.

01:22:43Road Dogg to Southpaw, set to lock it up with Matt Hardy.

01:22:48What a night it's been here on SmackDown.

01:22:51I can still not believe Stephanie McMahon asking, Tess, do you still love me?

01:22:54And Tess saying, I don't know.

01:22:58Well, like you say, he's confused.

01:23:00He's been through a line.

01:23:01He don't know what he's feeling.

01:23:02Double-teamed by the Hardy Boys.

01:23:03They do it better than anyone in the WWF.

01:23:06Cover by Jeff, and a kick out after two by the Road Dogg.

01:23:09And Jeff quickly back on the Road Dogg.

01:23:13You know, when I was married, my wife and I were inseparable.

01:23:16Sometimes it took ten people to separate us.

01:23:19Look at Jeff now.

01:23:20Look at this.

01:23:21Great balance up over the top rope.

01:23:23Road Dogg don't know where he went.

01:23:24No, there he is.

01:23:25Baseball slide, kick to the face, and Road Dogg face first into the mat outside the ring.

01:23:32Jeff, tremendous balance, tremendous high-flying athlete.

01:23:36I tell you, the Hardy Boys have really gotten noticed since- Look at Jeff now off the top rope.

01:23:41Lands on his feet, but he walked right into the left hand of the Road Dogg.

01:23:44And Road Dogg juking and jibing now.

01:23:47White hand for good measure to the forehead.

01:23:50Road Dogg drawing Matt Hardy in, shake, rattle and roll time by the Dogg.

01:23:54You gotta like that, Michael, you gotta like it.

01:23:57You like it?

01:23:58Yeah, I like it.

01:23:59And look at this now, Jeff tossed out of the ring by the Road Dogg.

01:24:03And that's no man's land, especially with X-Pac out there.

01:24:06Referee's distracted and DX going to work on Jeff Hardy.

01:24:13Triple H, of course, the other member of D-Generation X.

01:24:17We learned tonight, Armageddon, his match against Vince McMahon will be no holds barred.

01:24:23You gotta admire the strategy of DX.

01:24:25They put the referee where they want him, and that's just a smart maneuver.

01:24:29I mean, you know, that's smart.

01:24:31You gotta admit that, Michael.

01:24:32Well, it is a smart maneuver, a wise maneuver by DX.

01:24:34As X-Pac now delivers the elbow to the sternum of Jeff Hardy.

01:24:41Snapmare takedown by X-Pac, quickly into the chin lock.

01:24:44You know, I was talking about the Hardy Boys earlier on,

01:24:46they've garnered a lot more attention since Terry's taken over.

01:24:50And look at Jeff off the ropes now.

01:24:52X-Pac misses with the right hand.

01:24:54My!

01:24:56Tilted roll by Jeff Hardy, takes X-Pac down, misses with the right hand,

01:25:00and walked right in to the spinning heel kick by the martial arts expert, X-Pac.

01:25:04That was a la Tori there, wasn't it?

01:25:08Man, X-Pac delivering that spinning heel kick to Tori.

01:25:11And we heard earlier on tonight that it was intentional.

01:25:14X-Pac admitting here on SmackDown.

01:25:18Gonna be a huge score to settle when X-Pac meets Kane in Armageddon.

01:25:22I'm not kidding.

01:25:23When here come, arguably, perhaps the greatest tag team in the history of the WWF,

01:25:28the New Age Outlaws.

01:25:29And look at Jeff Hardy, turned that into a double DDT.

01:25:32I can't believe it.

01:25:34And the WWF champion, The Big Show, wants to make a tag here.

01:25:38He's an engine for a tag, he can't wait.

01:25:41Well, if that was out in the ring, can Jeff Hardy, holding that right shoulder of his,

01:25:45can he make it to the champion?

01:25:47Can he make it to the 500-pound Big Show?

01:25:49And here comes X-Pac now.

01:25:51No!

01:25:52And here comes the show, seven feet two, 500-pound headbutt.

01:25:57And what a kick to the face of Mr. Ass, headbutt the Road Dog.

01:26:01And the WWF champion's cooking on all cylinders.

01:26:05X-Pac for the Road.

01:26:08What power by The Big Show.

01:26:12And now the Hardys, Jeff's gonna fly, caught the Road Dog under the chin.

01:26:18He landed on his feet.

01:26:19Jeff's gonna fly the other way.

01:26:21And again.

01:26:21Mr. Ass, what got this.

01:26:23Man, swinging DDT.

01:26:26And look at this now, Jeff Hardy, over 12 feet in the air.

01:26:32Sentai Bomb, here's the cover, two.

01:26:35And X-Pac broke up the three count.

01:26:38Wow, unbelievable.

01:26:39Did you see Jeff Hardy senton bomb off the shoulders of The Big Show?

01:26:43I saw it, I still can't believe it.

01:26:44Look at this.

01:26:45Matt Hardy, sunset flip over the top.

01:26:47Here's the cover, it's over, it's over.

01:26:49The Hardy Boys and The Big Show have defeated DX.

01:26:53The Big Show and The Hardy Boys.

01:26:56I can't believe it.

01:26:57Hey, wait a minute.

01:26:58Gangluck who's coming.

01:26:59The man will face The Big Show, The Big Boss Man.

01:27:02The Boss Man with a nice dick to the back of the head.

01:27:05The Boss Man and Jeff Hardy.

01:27:07Look at the nice dick to Matt Hardy.

01:27:09The Boss Man needs The Big Show at Armageddon.

01:27:13He's the number one contender, Michael.

01:27:15He continues his relentless pursuit of The Big Show and DX now.

01:27:19Like the buzzards they are, picking up on the roadkill.

01:27:24The Boss Man delivered a nightstick shot to the back of the head of The Big Show.

01:27:30The Boss Man was a one man wrecking machine there.

01:27:32And here comes The Rock.

01:27:34The Rock.

01:27:35The Rock gonna get some revenge, gonna get some revenge to The Outlaws.

01:27:41The Rock cleaning house.

01:27:43The Rock and Mankind meet The Outlaws at Armageddon.

01:27:47And here's Mankind.

01:27:48You can see Armageddon on SmackDown.

01:27:51We're seeing it right now.

01:27:53It's Kane.

01:27:54The Big Red Machine, Kane going after X-Pac.

01:27:58Kane hammering away at X-Pac, The Rock and Road Dog.

01:28:02All hell's broken loose here at The Arrowhead Con.

01:28:08Kane, The Rock, Mankind.

01:28:11Man, wait till they are locked up at Armageddon.
