00:00:00We are experiencing Armageddon.

00:00:03No holds barred.

00:00:04In he goes.

00:00:05It's a son-in-law hammering his father-in-law.

00:00:09This is a war zone.

00:00:10This is Armageddon.

00:00:11For the love of his daughter.

00:00:13For his family name.

00:00:15For his own time.

00:00:16McMahon's not gonna quit.

00:00:18My God, they must be 20 or 30 feet off the floor.

00:00:21Somebody tell me that little girl has to turn her back on her father.

00:00:25Fly, Stephanie.

00:00:26Fly.

00:00:27Fly.

00:00:29Bane McMahon obviously awaiting Vince McMahon's arrival.

00:00:33What will Vince McMahon's reaction be tonight?

00:00:35Just listen to me.

00:00:37Just listen to me.

00:00:38Would you chill out?

00:00:39What are you gonna do?

00:00:39Are you gonna go out there with Triple H, huh?

00:00:41That's exactly what wants to happen, huh?

00:00:43You got all this?

00:00:44Are you gonna bash his head?

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

00:00:46Man, look what Vince McMahon's face tells a story.

00:00:48And he is packing a sledgehammer.

00:00:51Vince trying to...

00:00:51Oh, my God!

00:00:53Vince is just...

00:00:54Beat down the door of the DX locker room.

00:00:57Would you just stop giving me this?

00:00:58I'm coming in the ring.

00:00:58You're going in the ring.

00:00:59What do you think you're doing?

00:01:00You remember one thing?

00:01:01She is still your daughter.

00:01:03Triple H, come on out, you coward.

00:01:06What have you done to my family?

00:01:08What have you done to my daughter?

00:01:10Come on, that's not Triple H.

00:01:13That's Mrs. Triple H.

00:01:15Oh, no.

00:01:16That's Vince's little girl, Stephanie.

00:01:17What are you gonna do with that sledgehammer, Dad?

00:01:22What are you gonna do with it?

00:01:23You wanna bash Triple H's head in?

00:01:25You wanna bash my brains in?

00:01:28Do it.

00:01:29That's the only way you're gonna get to Triple H.

00:01:32Because like it or not, we're married.

00:01:36Oh, my God.

00:01:37You see, Dad, it's always been about what you like, what you want.

00:01:42Even at the expense of your own family.

00:01:45And you know what, Dad?

00:01:47I'm not Daddy's little girl anymore.

00:01:51This girl's breaking her daddy's heart.

00:01:52I used to get butterflies when Triple H would look at me.

00:01:56I didn't want to.

00:01:58I didn't really mean to.

00:02:00But just the way he would stand up to you, he was so strong and powerful.

00:02:06And he outsmarted you by making business personal.

00:02:11And that's something you know all about, Dad, isn't it?

00:02:15Making business personal.

00:02:17It's been almost a year since you had me abducted, locked in a rat-infested basement.

00:02:25You put me there.

00:02:27Then you had someone rifle through all of my personal and private things in my bedroom.

00:02:32You made them do it.

00:02:34You did.

00:02:34But then the icing on the cake.

00:02:36You had me strapped to a symbol and carried down to this ring to be sacrificed to the undertaker in

00:02:44a wedding.

00:02:45You did it.

00:02:46What goes around, comes around.

00:02:49You hurt me.

00:02:51And what's the best way that I could hurt you back?

00:02:53By marrying the man that you hate the most, my husband, Triple H, Hunter Hurst-Counsley.

00:03:03And by the way, Triple H really turns me on.

00:03:08That is the final stake through the heart of Vince McMahon.

00:03:11Get in your car.

00:03:11Give me a hand.

00:03:12Please play stakes.

00:03:14I can't breathe.

00:03:15You're saying that.

00:03:15That's son of a bitch.

00:03:17Get me out of here.

00:03:18Who's going to run the family business?

00:03:20I guess that leaves you and I.

00:03:23I guess it does.

00:03:25I guess we're going to have to take things over.

00:03:27Mr. and Mrs. Hunter Hurst-Counsley are in charge of the company store.

00:03:32I hate to inform you guys, Big Rock, that this match is no DQ.

00:03:40WWF women's title will be decided.

00:03:42The new champion is Miss Kitty.

00:03:44And in pudding.

00:03:45And chocolate pudding.

00:03:46The three of you are going to take on the accolades.

00:03:49Well, good luck.

00:03:51Well, there's going to be a cage match coming up.

00:03:53A cage match?

00:03:54Yeah.

00:03:54Oh, yeah.

00:03:55A big cage match.

00:03:56You're not done yet.

00:03:57You've got a triple threat match right now.

00:03:59Triple H to step.

00:04:00You're making this stuff up as they go.

00:04:02Another match that has been booked by Stephanie McMahon and her husband, the big boss man, and

00:04:07Prince Albert will act as a tag team against the big show.

00:04:10We haven't seen the tag titles tonight.

00:04:13I think we're going to have a championship match.

00:04:15Who's your opponent?

00:04:16Well, I'd kind of like to see you in the ring tonight.

00:04:20Who's my partner?

00:04:21Well, someone you have something in common with.

00:04:24Test.

00:04:25What the hell?

00:04:26Triple H started to win this part.

00:04:28What the hell is this?

00:04:30What is this?

00:04:31Stephanie McMahon set this thing up.

00:04:33For God's sake, what has happened to this young woman?

00:04:36The outlaws are holding Test.

00:04:38And Stephanie snapping Test right in the face.

00:04:41Oh, man, Test has been set up and gut-cordered by DX.

00:04:47What has Stephanie McMahon become?

00:04:50What in the hell could happen?

00:04:53We'll find out Thursday night on SmackDown.

00:05:01Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

00:05:05Everyone, may I have your attention, please?

00:05:08And shut up!

00:05:12Thanks, guys.

00:05:13It's a reason to be excited.

00:05:15Shut up.

00:05:16All right, keep it down.

00:05:17We're here to make an announcement about the way business is going to be handled here from

00:05:21now on in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:05:24First thing I'd like to say is that Vince and Shane, my brother and father, are not here tonight.

00:05:34Hey.

00:05:35Hey, keep it down.

00:05:38All right, I know everybody's got a little bit of concern over the way things went Monday night,

00:05:42but Monday night, we had to assert ourselves.

00:05:45From now on, things are going to be handled a little bit differently.

00:05:48You're going to be handled a little bit more fair.

00:05:50There are those of you out here, I'm sure, that feel like you've been held down in the past.

00:05:55Well, starting tonight, you're going to be given your chance to shine.

00:05:58And there are a few of you out there, and I'm sure you know who you are,

00:06:02who've had everything handed to you on a silver platter.

00:06:05Well, tonight, your platter gets taken away.

00:06:09From now on, top to bottom, everybody here is going to be treated fairly.

00:06:16For example, Mick, I know you've been having a lot of problems with Al Snow lately.

00:06:22You hate Al, you used to be best friends.

00:06:24Well, now you get to take your hatred out on him, because tonight, you'll face Al one-on-one.

00:06:34And Rock, I know better than anybody, what you want more out of life than anything else

00:06:43is to get the World Wrestling Federation title.

00:06:46Well, Rock, tonight you get your chance,

00:06:49because you and the Big Show are going to go one-on-one for the World Wrestling Federation title.

00:06:58Ladies and gentlemen,

00:07:03ladies and gentlemen,

00:07:05tonight marks the dawning of a new era in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:07:10The McMahon-Helmsley era.

00:07:14Yeah!

00:07:16Yeah!

00:07:17Yeah!

00:07:18Yeah!

00:07:19Yeah!

00:07:20Yeah!

00:07:21Yeah!

00:07:22Yeah!

00:07:24Yeah!

00:07:25Yeah!

00:08:27And Captain by Mr. and Mrs. Helmsley is going to take us tonight.

00:08:31Are you hearing it, Michael?

00:08:32The McMahon Helmsley era has begun.

00:08:35This is going to be great.

00:08:41Well, folks, we're kicking off SmackDown with the hardcore champion, the big boss man, accompanied

00:08:46to the ring by Prince Albert.

00:08:49Ladies and gentlemen, making his way to the ring, Prince Albert and the World War 3 Federation

00:08:55hardcore champion, the big boss man.

00:08:59Well, King, we just heard that Vince McMahon and Shane are not here tonight, according

00:09:03to Stephanie McMahon and her husband, Triple H.

00:09:06But what about what we just heard from those two that they're going to start giving people

00:09:10some opportunities around here, that they're going to start to play fair?

00:09:13Do you buy any of that?

00:09:15Sure, I buy it.

00:09:16I told you, Triple H is the game.

00:09:18And now that this marriage made in heaven has come to fruition, I think this is going to

00:09:23be the greatest thing ever for the WNF.

00:09:25Well, they called it a...

00:09:26Anyway, wait, wait.

00:09:27You don't doubt Triple H?

00:09:28You don't think he's lying or something like that?

00:09:30No, I never said that.

00:09:31Okay.

00:09:32But after what happened Monday night, I mean, well, I guess there is sort of a doubt in

00:09:35my mind after what we saw on Monday night.

00:09:37It seemed like Triple H and Stephanie were carrying out some personal vendettas.

00:09:41Let me write this down.

00:09:42You doubt Triple H?

00:09:43No.

00:09:44I said there could be some doubts, King.

00:09:46Okay.

00:09:53I want you people to shut up!

00:09:58The only about as popular here is Virginia Tech.

00:10:02If you think what I did to Al Snow was bad, if you think what I did to Big Show's

00:10:11fake

00:10:11daddy was cruel, wait till the big boss man takes care of the rest of the morons in the

00:10:19World Wrestling Federation, because I...

00:10:22Wait a minute, Kingman.

00:10:25That's Y2J music.

00:10:26Oh, yeah.

00:10:31Well, Chris Jericho is the Intercontinental Champion.

00:10:35He defeated China last Sunday at Armageddon.

00:10:39But he's out here tonight on SmackDown.

00:10:49What a ride.

00:10:50It's going to be here tonight, King.

00:10:51The rocket big show for the World Wrestling Federation Championship.

00:10:55Wow!

00:10:55Mankind out.

00:10:56No one-on-one.

00:10:57All those matches set up by Mr. and Mrs. Melfly.

00:11:01Yeah!

00:11:01And that, you know, it may not be the...

00:11:04I'm sure that your mother once told you, if you can't say anything nice about anybody,

00:11:10don't say anything at all.

00:11:12Well, tonight, Y2J is telling you, if you can't say something entertaining, then shut the hell

00:11:20up!

00:11:25Because while you're out here, boring all of the Jericho-holics, I'm standing in the

00:11:32back, begging to show off my new and improved Inter-Cris-a-Nental Championship belt.

00:11:41Chris-a-Nental?

00:11:42Inter-Cris-a-Nental?

00:11:43And since you're already in the ring with your goofy-looking buddy, Prince Allen, maybe

00:11:49I should just enter the ring and destroy you both, Ayatollah-style!

00:11:58The Y2J laying out a challenge here on SmackDown.

00:12:06Chris Jericho just challenged both Boss Man and Prince Albert, and Prince Albert takes

00:12:11him up on the challenge, and here we go.

00:12:13And Prince Albert delivering those nice-edged chocs.

00:12:15Wait a minute, what is this?

00:12:18We get a match going here!

00:12:20Yeah, and you know whose music that is, King, oh my!

00:12:23Jericho with the dropkick to Prince Albert, and here comes the nice winner of the role of

00:12:27China, as Jericho delivers a spinning heel kick to Prince Albert.

00:12:31And looks at that, the women's champion, with the...

00:12:34No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the cat!

00:12:36The cat.

00:12:37China and the cat!

00:12:39We saw China on Monday night, and that was an...

00:12:43Prince Albert with authority.

00:12:45That was an odd situation.

00:12:46Chyna showing up at ringside Monday night on Raw during a Jericho match.

00:12:49Yeah, I still haven't figured that out.

00:12:52Chyna involving herself in the match between Chris Jericho and X-Pac.

00:12:56We still don't know why she came down, and we don't know why she's here tonight.

00:12:59And here's a cover now by Prince Albert and a kickout by Chris Jericho after two.

00:13:03What about how we saw the cat Monday night?

00:13:06Yeah, the cat.

00:13:07In former Miss Kitty.

00:13:08In Pudding.

00:13:09Yeah, in Pudding.

00:13:10I thought I saw a Pudding cat.

00:13:11Ah!

00:13:12Whipped into the corner now.

00:13:13Chris Jericho, Y2J, boot to the face of Prince Albert, the 370-pounder.

00:13:18Oh, what a bicycle kick.

00:13:19That scissors kick to the chin of Chris Jericho.

00:13:22Here's a cover now.

00:13:23There's two and a kickout by Y2J.

00:13:25What is the deal with Chyna and the cat?

00:13:27I mean, they're just...

00:13:30They're just standing there watching this match for some reason?

00:13:32Well, we saw Chris Jericho.

00:13:33What is this?

00:13:34Look, you're great for a guy to shower.

00:13:35They are.

00:13:37That's Triple H and Stephanie.

00:13:39This match is pretty good, though.

00:13:40This match is pretty good.

00:13:42You did a great job booking this.

00:13:44What do you mean?

00:13:45Well, the Helmsley's watching this matchup and enjoying it there, Ken.

00:13:48I didn't.

00:13:50Somebody did.

00:13:51Yeah.

00:13:52What's the matter?

00:13:53Let's do a new era.

00:13:54The McMahon Helmsley.

00:13:57And Jericho, nice flying tackle.

00:13:59There's two.

00:13:59Hook the leg, but Prince Albert got the left shoulder up.

00:14:01I think I heard Stephanie and Triple H say, either one of them booked this match.

00:14:07How'd it happen?

00:14:08Well, nonetheless, Jericho's Intercontinental title's on the line here.

00:14:12And Jericho now, look at this.

00:14:13Prince Albert whipped into the corner.

00:14:15So the Intercontinental title's on the line.

00:14:17Nice bulldog.

00:14:17By Y2J, Chris Jericho on Prince Albert as Chyna and Miss Kitty and Carcass there looking on.

00:14:25You saw Chris Jericho at Armageddon.

00:14:28And wait a minute.

00:14:29Trying to turn Big Boss Man.

00:14:30I should say Prince Albert over into the walls of Jericho.

00:14:33And Boss Man up on the apron of the ring with a distraction.

00:14:36Oh.

00:14:37Thumb to the eye.

00:14:38Hey, look at this.

00:14:39Nightstick tossed by Boss Man to Prince Albert.

00:14:41And Chyna, Chyna from behind.

00:14:44Chyna just delivered a low glow to Prince Albert.

00:14:47Hey, what did you do that for?

00:14:49I don't get it, look out.

00:14:50From the second round, hook of the leg by Jericho.

00:14:53Jericho retains the title.

00:14:55But you've got to give an assist to Chyna.

00:14:58And still, the Red Flanagan intercontinental champion, Chris Jericho.

00:15:05Wait a minute.

00:15:05Help me figure this out, Michael.

00:15:06I don't think Chris Jericho can figure out anyone.

00:15:09What's up with Chyna?

00:15:10She helped Chris Jericho repeat intercontinental champion.

00:15:15And in Armageddon after their matchup there came when Chyna lost the title.

00:15:19She shook Chris Jericho's hand.

00:15:21I don't know.

00:15:22I can never figure out what Chyna was going to do.

00:15:24Or any woman for that matter.

00:15:26The hell is that supposed to mean?

00:15:28It's just an expression.

00:15:30It doesn't mean anything, right?

00:15:31Is it a knock at women?

00:15:33You don't know what we're going to do?

00:15:34Why?

00:15:35Do we surprise you?

00:15:36Well, I might surprise you now.

00:15:38What are you getting all bent out of shape for?

00:15:40Hey, hold on a second.

00:15:41Where are you going?

00:15:42Where are you going?

00:15:42I'm going to Rickside.

00:15:44For what?

00:15:45I want to check somebody out.

00:15:47Wait a minute.

00:15:48Check out who?

00:15:50Kurt Angle.

00:15:51He's kind of cute.

00:15:52The ostrich jerky salesman?

00:15:53He's cute.

00:15:55Come on.

00:15:55Who's he wrestling?

00:15:58Test.

00:15:59Test?

00:15:59Hey, wait a second.

00:16:01Hold on a second.

00:16:02You can't test.

00:16:03He's coming out of here.

00:16:04You're not going anywhere, and that's final.

00:16:07I'm going.

00:16:07You can't tell me what to do.

00:16:09I can tell you what to do, and you're not going anywhere.

00:16:12Look, what we did to test, I don't trust him for a second.

00:16:15I don't know what he's capable of doing.

00:16:17Look, I know test, okay?

00:16:19Yeah, you know him too well.

00:16:20What you're going to do is you're going to sit right here, you're going to drink some champagne,

00:16:24and we're going to have a good time.

00:16:25You know what?

00:16:26I'm going.

00:16:27Drink by yourself.

00:16:29Oh.

00:16:31Well, Stephanie McMahon, obviously, on her way out here.

00:16:34This is unbelievable.

00:16:35I think Triple H may wear the pants in that family, but I think Stephanie tells him what

00:16:40pair to wear.

00:16:47He's the only Olympic gold medalist to grace a World Wrestling Federation ring, and the

00:16:55most celebrated real athlete in the WWF, Kurt Angle.

00:17:01Well, the Olympic gold medalist set for action in King.

00:17:04This will be Kurt Angle's biggest test.

00:17:07No one intended today when he takes on Tess in this one.

00:17:11Angle having his problems with Steve Blackman as of late.

00:17:14Of course, it started last week, and then, of course, made their way to Armageddon this past Sunday.

00:17:24And his opponent, he weighs in at 282 pounds.

00:17:29Tess!

00:17:30I'm going to tell you something about Tess.

00:17:32If I were a Batman, which I'm not, if I were a Batman, I'd have to put my money,

00:17:37on Kurt Angle, because he practices the three eyes.

00:17:40Intelligence, everything, so long, intensity.

00:17:43Now, Tess!

00:17:45Uh-oh.

00:17:45Hey, wait a minute.

00:17:48And Tess looks back.

00:17:52Here comes his former fiancé, Skyman Mann.

00:17:55Hey, look at this.

00:17:56Hey, wait a minute.

00:17:57Kurt Angle takes advantage from behind as he goes to work on Tess, and Stephanie McMahon makes

00:18:03her way down to ringside.

00:18:04Hey, King, I'll tell you what, what an emotional week it's been here for Tess.

00:18:08Right, that's what I'm saying.

00:18:09That's why I put my money on Kurt Angle, because, oh, Tess, he doesn't have that intensity.

00:18:14He lost it over this love affair with Stephanie.

00:18:17A swinging neckbreaker by Tess, whips Kurt Angle into the ropes, and here comes Angle now.

00:18:20And Tess with a spinning sidewalk slam on Kurt Angle.

00:18:24Here comes Stephanie Helmsley.

00:18:27Well, Stephanie McMahon Helmsley.

00:18:29Stephanie McMahon Helmsley, actually.

00:18:31Okay.

00:18:32And Tess, with a few words for Stephanie, gets caught by Kurt Angle, rolls him over, and

00:18:35a kick out after two.

00:18:37Here we go.

00:18:38Now this thing fits right.

00:18:39Very nice.

00:18:40I've got to get some new equipment that works.

00:18:42Well, Stephanie, first off, we heard your husband Triple H say, and again, Tess distracted

00:18:46by the fact that Stephanie is out here at Greenside.

00:18:50Are you a little worried being out here?

00:18:52Would you shut up for me?

00:18:52Worried, please.

00:18:53Did you just blow somebody a kiss?

00:18:54I blew Chester a kiss.

00:18:56He seems to be in need of one.

00:18:58He's still smitten with your name.

00:18:59You know, and why would I be worried about someone that I've made a fool of?

00:19:02Please, Tess doesn't scare me.

00:19:04We saw that happen on Raw Monday night, when you did embarrass, humiliate Tess in front of

00:19:09a nationwide television audience.

00:19:10Yes, I did.

00:19:11Here's a cover now by Kurt Angle.

00:19:13Hook of the leg.

00:19:13Could be over.

00:19:14Whoa.

00:19:14And Tess gets the shoulder up.

00:19:17Well, I just want to say this, Stephanie, McMahon, Helmsley, that I am so excited about

00:19:22this new situation, the McMahon-Helmsley era, because, I mean, let's face it, you and Triple

00:19:28A, he's a nice-looking guy.

00:19:30You guys are young, you're vibrant, innovative.

00:19:33You got some new ideas that are going to be happening around here.

00:19:35I think it's going to be great for the WWE.

00:19:37You know what, King?

00:19:38I find it kind of funny that when I came out here before and I was together with Tess,

00:19:43you didn't seem to be so supportive.

00:19:45Well, I just didn't think Tess was the right guy for you.

00:19:47Well, and now here you are, and you know, you just seem to be buttering up to me a little.

00:19:51I just want to make sure that that's not the case.

00:19:54Oh, certainly not.

00:19:55And Tess and Kurt Angle come to their feet.

00:19:57Stephanie, I'd like to ask you, we heard at the top of the program that you are going to

00:20:01be basically fair.

00:20:03You're going to give people opportunities, people who haven't had opportunities in the past.

00:20:06Stephanie, can we take you guys at your word for that?

00:20:08Absolutely.

00:20:08This is the dawning of a new era.

00:20:11The Humsley-McMahon era.

00:20:13Oh, my.

00:20:14Tess with a great reversal on Kurt Angle.

00:20:16Hooks the leg.

00:20:16Here's the cover.

00:20:17There's two almost at three and a kick out by Kurt Angle.

00:20:19Get your cute self out of that here.

00:20:22Kurt Angle's undefeated streak almost up in smoke on that one.

00:20:26And Tess in control, but he telegraphed it.

00:20:28And Kurt Angle takes advantage now.

00:20:30And look at Tess setting him up.

00:20:31He does have some power, Tess.

00:20:35I'll give that to you.

00:20:36But he's not really as attractive.

00:20:39I'm talking about to a female as Kurt Angle.

00:20:41Is that right?

00:20:43Tell me which one of these guys would be more attractive.

00:20:44Look at this.

00:20:45He's cheating.

00:20:46He's cheating.

00:20:47Which one of these guys would have the most sexy...

00:20:48Well, wait a minute.

00:20:49Stephanie didn't like the fact that Tess was using a closed fist.

00:20:55She just called for the bell, King.

00:20:56What's going on?

00:20:59The winner of this match is Kurt Angle.

00:21:05King Stephanie McMahon just had Tess disqualify.

00:21:10He was breaking the rules, Michael.

00:21:12Yeah, but that's something we see almost every match.

00:21:14Almost every match.

00:21:15He's still against the rules, Michael.

00:21:17It's a closed fist.

00:21:18And look at Kurt Angle hopping around for joy.

00:21:20He stayed undefeated here on SmackDown.

00:21:23Oh, look out.

00:21:24Hold it there, Tess.

00:21:26Don't get Tessy.

00:21:27This is a new era.

00:21:29It's...

00:21:30It's...

00:21:31What's he going to do, Michael?

00:21:32Well, King, I'll tell you.

00:21:33Tess has probably had enough of this entire situation.

00:21:36He was humiliated and embarrassed on national television Monday night.

00:21:40And he's going to have a few words here for Miss McMahon-Helmsley.

00:21:46Or maybe he's not.

00:21:52Or maybe he's not.

00:21:55This emotional rollercoaster.

00:21:58Well, okay, I can't blame him for being upset, but he better show a little respect.

00:22:01She's the...

00:22:02She's the new head honcho around here.

00:22:04Now, Tess is not too happy.

00:22:06He's not pleased, to say the least.

00:22:08What is he?

00:22:09Is he stalking?

00:22:10Wait a minute.

00:22:11Look at this.

00:22:12That's Billy Gunn.

00:22:13Billy Gunn attacking Tess from behind.

00:22:16DTX.

00:22:17That's Parkin' Road Dog.

00:22:19King, it went...

00:22:20King, was this a setup?

00:22:21Stephanie was never in any danger out here.

00:22:24What do you mean?

00:22:25There's no telling what Tess was capable of.

00:22:27Did Stephanie McMahon lead Tess into this DX ambush?

00:22:31Oh, wait.

00:22:31Here comes Triple H.

00:22:33Yeah, her husband Triple H.

00:22:35Oh, no.

00:22:37Right to the nose.

00:22:38Triple H right into the face.

00:22:41Keep in mind, Tess has suffered a broken nose before.

00:22:43And Triple H just delivered that right hand to the face of Tess.

00:22:48He wants to spread his nose all over his face.

00:22:51I can't see if Tess's got a broken nose again.

00:22:53Look.

00:22:53He's holding the nose.

00:22:54Tess is Triple H with that right hand.

00:22:58Ah!

00:22:59And now, the WWF Slam of the Week, presented by the WWF Slam Cam.

00:23:04Put yourself in the action.

00:23:07Jeff on top.

00:23:07What's he?

00:23:08He's not.

00:23:09Party.

00:23:09He's crazy.

00:23:10On top.

00:23:10No.

00:23:10Get out.

00:23:11Oh, my God.

00:23:12For God's sakes.

00:23:13Jeff Hardy trying to send Tom Fong from the top of the cage.

00:23:16He's a gun.

00:23:17Nobody was there.

00:23:18My God, that gives new meaning to high risk.

00:23:21This is not high risk.

00:23:22This is insane.

00:23:24Oh!

00:23:24That is suicidal.

00:23:25What was he thinking?

00:23:27That was the WWF Slam of the Week, presented by the WWF Slam Cam.

00:23:32Put yourself in the action.

00:23:35And we're back on SmackDown.

00:23:36And King recorded during the break.

00:23:38You see the EMTs along with Pat Patterson's there and Gerald Briscoe.

00:23:42Tending to test who was the victim of a vicious attack by D-Generation X.

00:23:45Triple H delivering a blow to Tess's nose, which had been broken by DX once before.

00:23:50Pat, Tess, take it easy.

00:23:51We need to get in there.

00:23:52Every windshield.

00:23:53Pat and Jerry, what the hell are you guys doing?

00:23:55We're trying to help.

00:23:56Pat, Tess, stay in it.

00:23:58We're trying to help.

00:24:00We're taking his family.

00:24:01We're trying to help.

00:24:02Step it, please.

00:24:02We're trying to help him.

00:24:03Hey, she told me to stay out of this.

00:24:04I don't need any help.

00:24:05You guys want to be helpful, I'll tell you what.

00:24:07You help yourself tonight to a match with the Outlaws.

00:24:09We're not wrestling the Outlaws.

00:24:10Oh, you're crazy.

00:24:11You're going to wrestle the Outlaws.

00:24:13And I'll tell you what, I'm going to do you a favor.

00:24:14And I'm going to make it a title match.

00:24:16We're not going to do it.

00:24:17If you don't do it, you're fired.

00:24:19What do you mean, we're fired?

00:24:21Come on, Steph.

00:24:22We're not going to do it.

00:24:22It's pleasing.

00:24:24Calm down.

00:24:24Did you hear that?

00:24:25Pat Patterson versus the Outlaws for the tag titles tonight.

00:24:30And if they don't compete, they're fired.

00:24:32Yeah, well, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they chicken out.

00:24:37All the way countries can schedule for one call.

00:24:39Making their way to the United States company by Perry.

00:24:42Truth be first, weighing in at 213 pounds, Jeff Hardy.

00:24:47And his opponent, he weighs in at 213 pounds, Matt Hardy.

00:24:54Wow.

00:24:55Well, folks, Royal Rumble.

00:24:571-800-COLLECT presents the Royal Rumble.

00:24:591-800-COLLECT, the easy way to save.

00:25:03Check this out now.

00:25:04We got Hardy Boy against Hardy Boy.

00:25:06And Terry Reynolds does not look too pleased.

00:25:09Due to an older kid by the Helmsleys, it's brother versus brother here tonight.

00:25:15The man Helmsley.

00:25:16Well, Matt and Jeff did not want to participate in this matchup,

00:25:20but they're being forced to fight by Stephanie and Triple H.

00:25:23Maybe they'll get fired too.

00:25:25This is great.

00:25:26And here we go now.

00:25:27Lock up the center of the ring.

00:25:28Nice takedown by Matt Hardy on Jeff.

00:25:30And what do you think the motivation could be for Stephanie and Triple H

00:25:33to set up this type of matchup, brother versus brother?

00:25:36What do you mean motivation?

00:25:38Athletic competition.

00:25:38You, Jim Ross, all these guys are always talking about how great these young guys are,

00:25:42Matt and Jeff.

00:25:43So let's see who's the greatest of the two.

00:25:45Well, I can tell you this.

00:25:46They've grown up with each other.

00:25:47They've trained with each other for probably 15 or 20 years.

00:25:50Duh, they're brothers.

00:25:51They know each other extremely well.

00:25:52They know each other's moves.

00:25:54What?

00:25:55I just wish you were a little smarter.

00:25:57You'd know how stupid you sound.

00:25:58They know each other extremely well.

00:26:00They're brothers.

00:26:01Oh, my.

00:26:01Nice back body drop by Matt Hardy.

00:26:03Well, King, could it be that, you know, perhaps Triple H is helping out his DX brethren

00:26:07by booking a match like this?

00:26:09I mean, the Hardy boys are a team that threaten to take the tag titles from the New Age Outlaws

00:26:14down the road.

00:26:14Perhaps they're trying to destroy this team, much like the cage match that was set up Monday

00:26:18night between the Hardys.

00:26:19Boy, you think everything or everybody has an ulterior motive, Michael Cole?

00:26:24I'm just asking questions, King.

00:26:26That's all.

00:26:26See, what is this?

00:26:27Another one of those theories of yours?

00:26:29Conspiracy theory or something?

00:26:31Grassy Knoll and all that sort of stuff?

00:26:33And Jeff Hardy backed in the corner by his brother, Matt.

00:26:36These guys are two young, great athletes.

00:26:39They are great athletes.

00:26:40Oh, here we go.

00:26:40And Jeff Hardy, I think, is cutting up now.

00:26:42We're going to get it on.

00:26:44Terry's going to flare.

00:26:45Oh, look at Terry.

00:26:45And Terry into the ring.

00:26:48Whoa.

00:26:48Trying to break it up a little bit.

00:26:50Jeff Hardy wanted none other.

00:26:51And here we go.

00:26:52Matt and Jeff hammering away on each other.

00:26:54Terry don't want to see anything happen to her meal ticket.

00:26:56She got shoved to the side.

00:26:58And Terry Reynolds trying to be a voice of reason in this matchup.

00:27:01As Jeff Hardy's ripped off the ropes.

00:27:03Matt misses with the right hand.

00:27:05You know this match had to happen.

00:27:07Both of these guys probably think they're the guy that carries the weight on this team.

00:27:11We'll see who really is the top dog.

00:27:13Jeff Hardy slides underneath the bottom rope.

00:27:15And look at this.

00:27:16Matt keeps his balance and turns it into a DDT.

00:27:20Tremendous maneuver by Matt Hardy.

00:27:22You know what?

00:27:22This is a great matchup.

00:27:24I mean, you've got to admit that Triple H and Stephanie are doing a great job of putting these matches

00:27:28together.

00:27:28What about the Rock and going against the Big Show?

00:27:30Wait a minute.

00:27:31Cover by Matt Hardy, too.

00:27:32And Jeff gets his left shoulder up.

00:27:33Rock against the Big Show for the WWF title later on tonight.

00:27:36Everybody wants to see that.

00:27:38Everybody wants to see the Rock against the Big Show.

00:27:40We got that tonight.

00:27:41Al Snow and Mankind.

00:27:42Oh, that's what I said.

00:27:43No, you didn't.

00:27:43You said Rock and Big Show twice.

00:27:45Patterson and Briscoe against the New Age Outlaw.

00:27:47Tag team titles on the line.

00:27:48They have to compete or they're fired.

00:27:50Keep it up.

00:27:51It'll be me and you here tonight, too.

00:27:53Oh, man.

00:27:53Nice takedown by Jeff Hardy.

00:27:55It pulls into the cover.

00:27:56Oh, reversal by Matt.

00:27:57There's two.

00:27:58And Jeff pops out.

00:27:59Come on.

00:28:00Cover again on Matt.

00:28:01Look at this.

00:28:02Tremendous action by the Hardy Brothers.

00:28:05Come on.

00:28:06What do you think is the baddest brother?

00:28:08Matt or Jeff?

00:28:09They're pretty equal to me, King.

00:28:11Matt delivers the right hand.

00:28:12Here's the cover.

00:28:13Hooks the leg.

00:28:14And a kick out after two by Jeff Hardy.

00:28:17So you're picking Jeff Hardy?

00:28:18I'm not picking either one of them.

00:28:20It's been a great matchup so far.

00:28:22Rock and Big Show to meet for the WWF Championship.

00:28:26Oh, my gosh.

00:28:26Look at this.

00:28:27You know, Triple H and Stephanie said that they were going to get people opportunities.

00:28:30Look at Jeff Hardy.

00:28:31Matt rolled out of the way.

00:28:33And again, King, we've seen Jeff Hardy do that a number of occasions.

00:28:36Matt Hardy felt it coming.

00:28:38Rolled out of the way.

00:28:38And Jeff Hardy.

00:28:39Matt couldn't get out of the way of that one.

00:28:41And Jeff flew over the top rope.

00:28:43All right.

00:28:43He felt that coming.

00:28:44He felt it get there, too.

00:28:47And Jeff Hardy wipes out Matt outside the ring and tosses him back in.

00:28:52That's it.

00:28:53Here's Jeff with a cover on Matt.

00:28:54Two.

00:28:55And Matt Hardy gets his shoulder up.

00:28:56Again, the Hardy boys are one of those teams, much like, say, Edge and Christian.

00:29:00I'm picking Jeff.

00:29:01Who are, you know, on the road to possibly down the road, taking the tag team titles for

00:29:06the New Age Outlaws.

00:29:07They are a threat to the five-time champions.

00:29:09Can you tell me if Terry Reynolds has a concerned look on her face?

00:29:12Because I haven't looked at her face yet.

00:29:14Jeff Hardy faced first great counter by Matt.

00:29:17Rolls into the cover.

00:29:18There's one.

00:29:19There's two.

00:29:19Jeff gets the shoulder up again.

00:29:21Let's face it.

00:29:21They're on UPN, national TV.

00:29:24I mean, you know, this is a big chance for one of these guys to become a huge star.

00:29:29Again, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, you know, forced this matchup, forced these brothers

00:29:33to fight.

00:29:34Jeff and Matt did not want to go on with this matchup.

00:29:37Now they have no choice.

00:29:39Matt Hardy tossed off the second rope.

00:29:41And look at Jeff climbing high now.

00:29:43Come on, Jeff.

00:29:43Jeff Hardy seat on top of the top rope right into the sternum of Matt Hardy.

00:29:48Oh, look.

00:29:49She is concerned.

00:29:51And look at Terry as Jeff rolls into the cover.

00:29:54Told you.

00:29:54And Matt Hardy gets the shoulder up.

00:29:55I thought that one was it.

00:29:57You saw Jeff Hardy attempt that senton bomb king from the top of that steel cage Monday

00:30:02night on Raw.

00:30:03Come on, Jeff.

00:30:04Jeff setting him up.

00:30:05Nice block by Matt Hardy.

00:30:08Countered by Jeff again.

00:30:09The cage match was another great match that was put together by Stephanie and Triple H.

00:30:15And look at Matt now.

00:30:16Countered by Jeff.

00:30:17Rolled into the leg sweep.

00:30:19You know that match got a huge rating Monday night.

00:30:21Pretty good.

00:30:22Oh, yeah.

00:30:23And anyway, it's just that time of year.

00:30:25It's time for out with the old and in with the new.

00:30:27And look at that.

00:30:28Look at that.

00:30:28Jeff.

00:30:29Oh, man.

00:30:30Kept his balance, but it looks like he hurt his left leg there.

00:30:32And Matt Hardy tries to take advantage.

00:30:35Hooks the leg now.

00:30:36I told you.

00:30:37Yes.

00:30:38Jeff Hardy made a mistake.

00:30:39Landed wrong on that leg.

00:30:41And Matt Hardy takes advantage and picks up the win over his brother.

00:30:48What a match.

00:30:49Gang, let's take another look at exactly what happened here.

00:30:52Jeff Hardy attempting the high-risk maneuver from the top rope.

00:30:54You see him injure his leg there.

00:30:56And his brother Matt, the older brother, Matt Hardy takes advantage and picks up the win over Jeff Hardy.

00:31:03Again, they didn't want to fight each other.

00:31:04They were forced into this by Stephanie McMahon Helmsley and her husband, Triple H.

00:31:14Who the hell do you think you are?

00:31:17Monday night was the epitome of humiliation.

00:31:20Me in a putty match.

00:31:22A putty match.

00:31:24Man, and I love that spontaneous triple threat match you put Kane in real, real nice.

00:31:30You know, I just came in here to tell you once and for all, for the record, no more humiliation,

00:31:36not with us ever again.

00:31:37You know what, Tori?

00:31:38Tori, actually, I think you will suffer a little more humiliation when you face me tonight.

00:31:44Whoa, hey.

00:31:46Who the hell do you think you are?

00:31:47You're not a wrestler.

00:31:49I can take Tori.

00:31:50I can take care of myself.

00:31:52Hey.

00:31:54Hey, man.

00:31:58Hey, guys.

00:31:59We just want to say, listen, we learned our lesson Monday night from the Acolytes, and, you know, it's the

00:32:05same thing.

00:32:07Steph, I just want to say, you know, good luck in your match tonight with Tori.

00:32:11Yeah, yeah, yeah, good luck.

00:32:12And listen, if there's anything we can do, please let us know.

00:32:15Anything.

00:32:16You know what?

00:32:18I think there is something you guys could do.

00:32:22What?

00:32:24What was that all about, Kane?

00:32:27Well, I think I know what that was about.

00:32:29I was the, uh, mainstream positive public.

00:32:32I believe we can get no more football.

00:32:34Making her way to the ring, Tori.

00:32:39Well, Tori on her way to the ring, King, and it's going to be Tori and Stephanie McMahon one-on

00:32:44-one.

00:32:45I can't believe it.

00:32:46Look at this.

00:32:46Look at Kane.

00:32:47And Tori's boyfriend, Kane, the big red machine, looking on.

00:32:51And, you know, Kane and Tori, they're going to enjoy this match, King.

00:32:56I mean, Tori, of course, humiliated Monday night, of course, in that pudding match when she wasn't ready.

00:33:00And Kane, of course, forced into this triple threat match against the New Age Outlaws.

00:33:04You know what, Michael?

00:33:05It doesn't get any bigger than this.

00:33:06I can't really believe that this is going to happen.

00:33:09Stephanie McMahon is going to enter a wrestling ring.

00:33:12There's a piece in a leather skirt.

00:33:14In a leather skirt.

00:33:16Oh, baby.

00:33:18This is it.

00:33:19This is going to be good.

00:33:21And her opponent's being coming to the ring by Triple A's Stephanie McMahon-Hiltsley.

00:33:28Well, Tori's got to be licking her chops, King, knowing she's going to get the opportunity to go one-on

00:33:33-one with Stephanie McMahon.

00:33:34And, you know, King Sunset, Stephanie may actually deserve what she gets.

00:33:39This is what she gets.

00:33:41This is history in the making right here.

00:33:43It doesn't get any bigger than this.

00:33:46So the McMahon-Hiltsley Coalition, so to speak.

00:33:49Hold on, hold on.

00:33:49Wait just a minute.

00:33:51The reason why I made this match is so that I could humiliate you and put you-

00:34:00Hey!

00:34:01Wait a minute.

00:34:02That's a posse, Rodney.

00:34:04Pete Gareth, they ambushed Kane.

00:34:07Look at this!

00:34:08The posse!

00:34:09They're attacking Kane!

00:34:11That looks like it hurts.

00:34:13Look at Tori!

00:34:15And Tori can't believe it.

00:34:17That's horrible.

00:34:18Oh, somebody should help him.

00:34:22God, oh God, what are they doing to him?

00:34:25There's nobody to help Kane!

00:34:28He's falling down, he can't get up.

00:34:31Oh, man!

00:34:32Ouch!

00:34:33It's three-on-one.

00:34:34They ambushed Kane.

00:34:36Was that what they were talking about when the posse asked if there was something they could do?

00:34:40I don't know, but Tori is...

00:34:43Oh, hey, Tori, you might want to stop for a second.

00:34:47Things have changed a little bit, and I'd like to introduce your real opponent.

00:34:53What?

00:34:54What?

00:34:55They're not!

00:34:56Oh, no.

00:34:57No!

00:34:59They can't be serious!

00:35:02They can't be serious!

00:35:04Tori's going to have to face X-Pac!

00:35:08What about this?

00:35:10I mean, X-Pac formerly was partnered with Kane!

00:35:15How many times has X-Pac delivered that vicious bit kick to the face of Tori?

00:35:20And what about an Armageddon on Sunday?

00:35:22The X-Factor to Tori.

00:35:24Too many times to remember.

00:35:26And X-Pac is going to go one-on-one with Tori tonight.

00:35:28And now Kane!

00:35:30Kane is in no condition to...

00:35:32What the hell are you doing?

00:35:33Oh, wait a minute!

00:35:33Stephanie just talked Tori back into the ring!

00:35:37So Triple H's buddy, X-Pac...

00:35:41I mean, King, you know, we saw...

00:35:42We saw and we heard at the top of the program, and Tori just spat at X-Pac!

00:35:48In his face!

00:35:49And X-Pac shoving Tori into the corner, knocking her down.

00:35:52Is this the fairness that Stephanie McMahon and Triple H were talking about earlier on tonight?

00:35:57Here we go!

00:35:58Bronco Buster!

00:35:59No!

00:36:00No!

00:36:01How humiliating for Tori!

00:36:03Well, I think Triple H actually was holding the hair of Tori to keep her in place!

00:36:07Well, X-Pac knows that Tori's boyfriend Kane's been taken out, and he's relishing this moment!

00:36:12This is despicable!

00:36:13Oh, look out!

00:36:14Now the X-Factor!

00:36:16That didn't last long!

00:36:18And now the humiliation of the pin!

00:36:21And look at Triple H's and his wife, Stephanie!

00:36:26Boy, their plans are working to perfection!

00:36:30Well, I guess it depends on how you look at it, King, but the McMahon helps him co-elift in

00:36:34his full force tonight!

00:36:36Well, we're back on SmackDown, and King, during the break, recovering someone after an ambush by the Mean Street Posse,

00:36:42Kane came down to the ring to help his girlfriend Tori, who was humiliated, forced into a match against X

00:36:48-Pac.

00:36:48Well, it was a little more than humiliation.

00:36:50She suffered some serious...

00:36:51Well, we're alive now.

00:36:55I guess...

00:36:56It looks like Kane is taking Tori right out of the building!

00:36:59I mean, I don't blame him, King.

00:37:00I mean, how much more can anyone take?

00:37:02You did a great job!

00:37:03You guys did a great job!

00:37:08You guys did a great job!

00:37:10What?

00:37:11Kane just left here with Tori, you guys did a horrible job, and I'll tell you what, it was a

00:37:17valiant effort, but just to reward you guys for that effort, what I'm going to do is I'm going to

00:37:22give you a little rematch with the Acolytes, how's that?

00:37:24It's a great idea!

00:37:27Have a good time, boys.

00:37:28Congratulations, guys!

00:37:29Come on.

00:37:29Have a good time.

00:37:30We're good.

00:37:31Oh, poor Posse!

00:37:33Thanks for stopping by.

00:37:34Don't you worry, I'm going to have that worthless suck-up mankind back here in just a few minutes.

00:37:39You guys keep your end of the bargain, I'll keep mine.

00:37:41Hey, you have no idea how much I appreciate this.

00:37:45Thanks again.

00:37:46What does Al Snow watch it?

00:37:49What does it look like?

00:37:50He's talking to DX, obviously.

00:37:54And here comes that best-selling author, hardcore legend, Mankind, set to go one-on-one with his former best

00:38:01buddy, Al Snow, in a match set up by Stephanie McMahon-Helsley and her husband, Triple H.

00:38:09Right!

00:38:10You can't argue that this is not a match everybody wants to see.

00:38:13This is a 20-year-old agent, a shooter at 87 pounds, Mankind!

00:38:21Another match set up tonight by Triple H and Stephanie, The Rock vs. Big Show, the WWF title on the

00:38:29line tonight, here on SmackDown.

00:38:32And SmackDown is brought to you by Arizona G, that at least part of you is brought to that.

00:38:38And by Western Union Money Transfer, the fastest way to send money worldwide.

00:38:43Handed by WWF Slam Cam, brought to you by WWF Slam Cam.

00:38:47Put yourself in the action with the WWF Slam Cam.

00:38:51What does everybody want?

00:38:55And his opponent in this Balls Count Anywhere match.

00:39:01Weighing in at 245 pounds.

00:39:07Al Snow!

00:39:08I think Mick Foley, Mankind, whatever you want to call him, just realized that Bob's Count Anywhere in this match.

00:39:16They wrestle all over Florida if they want to.

00:39:18So it's Mankind against Al Snow.

00:39:20Both of these guys used to be best buddies.

00:39:22And Al Snow, oh my, went after Mankind with that baseball bat.

00:39:27Mankind Counter goes to work on the right hand.

00:39:29I'm so sick of hearing that these guys used to be best buddies.

00:39:32Well, they did.

00:39:33Look at them, Michael.

00:39:33It was a friendship that went sour, went south in a hurry, King.

00:39:37All based on the fact that Al Snow is extremely jealous of Mankind's relationship with the People's Champion in the

00:39:43roster.

00:39:43Wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:39:44I don't think that did it all.

00:39:45Mankind butchered Al Snow in that book of his.

00:39:49How long have they been friends?

00:39:51Al Snow whipped off the ropes elbow by Mankind.

00:39:53We saw these two lock up on SmackDown last week.

00:39:56Tremendous matchup.

00:39:57And now, oh, to the gut with that bat.

00:39:59Al Snow and another one to the side of the head.

00:40:01And Mankind knocked out of the ring.

00:40:06And he's proud of himself using that baseball bat Al Snow is.

00:40:09I've got to admit, this is great matchmaking.

00:40:11Oh, wait a minute.

00:40:13He's trying to do this.

00:40:14No!

00:40:15Al Snow shattering that bat against the post.

00:40:18Mankind moving out of the way at the last minute.

00:40:20And Mankind delivers a right hand as these two battle outside the ring.

00:40:24And Al Snow kicked to the midsection.

00:40:26Oh, man.

00:40:27What a kick by Mankind.

00:40:30Mankind and Al Snow battle out of the ring.

00:40:32Look out, King.

00:40:33Al Snow right into the announce table chair.

00:40:36Oh, no.

00:40:37Hey, didn't you guys fall down anywhere?

00:40:39Watch it, King.

00:40:42Hey.

00:40:43Hey, get up, Al.

00:40:44Fall down anywhere.

00:40:46Do something.

00:40:47That's a little offense.

00:40:48Oh!

00:40:50Oh!

00:40:52Hey, ref.

00:40:53How about helping us out here a little bit?

00:40:55Got it, got it.

00:40:56He's got it.

00:40:57That's my chair.

00:41:01I know his shoulders were down.

00:41:03I know Ball's down anywhere, but can you get him back in the ring, head along?

00:41:07This is ridiculous.

00:41:12Michael Cole, where are you?

00:41:16He's got Mankind dragging Al Snow around this entire arena.

00:41:20Can you hear me, King?

00:41:21Come on.

00:41:22Al ain't gonna hurt you.

00:41:23Get back on half sets.

00:41:24And Mankind and Al Snow underneath the ring now.

00:41:26Falls down anywhere.

00:41:27Oh, my.

00:41:28That metal plate to the head of Mankind.

00:41:30Why'd you run, Michael?

00:41:32Why'd I run?

00:41:32Just stay behind me.

00:41:33That chair came flying.

00:41:34I wasn't sitting here.

00:41:35And Al Snow has taken control of this matchup.

00:41:39Falls down anywhere against Mankind.

00:41:41It's like Al's got some toys out here.

00:41:44They got flashed.

00:41:45Yeah, and how did they get there, King?

00:41:46How did all these toys, as you call them, get underneath the ring?

00:41:49Oh, missed it.

00:41:51That lid to the head of Mankind.

00:41:52What a vicious shot by Al Snow.

00:41:55Gosh.

00:41:55Al Snow has completely lost it.

00:41:57Al Snow has gone over the deep end the past couple of weeks

00:42:00because of the situation with Mankind.

00:42:03That book, Mankind's got nobody to blame but himself.

00:42:08King, did Al Snow plant those weapons under the ring?

00:42:10Did he put them out there?

00:42:12Did he sucker Mankind into this?

00:42:14Hey, you have to get inside Al Snow's head,

00:42:16and that's a scary place to be to find out those answers.

00:42:21I'm doing this because I can.

00:42:24I'm doing this because I love you.

00:42:26Uh-oh.

00:42:26Al Snow's screaming again at Mankind.

00:42:30And Al Snow in control.

00:42:31This crowd comes to its feet here at Florida State University.

00:42:36Well, what's this?

00:42:37Oh, man.

00:42:37Street sign.

00:42:38Al Snow with that metal street sign.

00:42:40Oh, oh, man.

00:42:41This is Mankind.

00:42:43Oh, no.

00:42:44Look out.

00:42:45Double DDT face first into that steel.

00:42:48That steel sign.

00:42:50And Al Snow, his head bouncing off that steel in the middle of the ring.

00:42:54And Mankind going for Socko.

00:42:56Oh, no way.

00:42:57It's Socko's on it.

00:42:58That's a stinkin' filthy sock.

00:43:01I know it falls down anywhere, but that's gotta be illegal.

00:43:04It's Mr. Socko time at Florida State.

00:43:08This is inhumane, Michael.

00:43:10You know where that sock's been?

00:43:12It's been down in his filthy underwear.

00:43:14Ah!

00:43:15Oh, there you go.

00:43:16Al Snow ducked out of the ring.

00:43:17Good move.

00:43:18Right in time as Mr. Socko is heading for the gullet.

00:43:22And look at Mankind now.

00:43:23Oh, balls count anywhere.

00:43:25Al Snow setting him up on that steel ramp.

00:43:27Oh, no.

00:43:28Look at this!

00:43:28Oh, man.

00:43:29Duplex on that steel.

00:43:30And you can hear Mankind's back thunder off the steel.

00:43:34That could be it.

00:43:35Pin him right there.

00:43:36You got him.

00:43:37Face first again by Al Snow.

00:43:39Come on, Al.

00:43:40Do the smart thing.

00:43:41Pin him.

00:43:42This match was set up by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and her husband Triple H.

00:43:48Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon are not here tonight at SmackDown.

00:43:51They left Raw in disgust on Monday.

00:43:54I know you're upset about this match, but don't forget, they also set up another match for later on tonight.

00:43:58The Raw vs. The Big Show for the WWF title.

00:44:01That's great!

00:44:02And they also set up the New Age Outlaws against Patterson and Briscoe for the tag titles.

00:44:06That's great, too.

00:44:06Wait a minute.

00:44:07Look at this!

00:44:08And Al Snow is putting on a...

00:44:10That isn't...

00:44:11It isn't.

00:44:13He's getting...

00:44:15It's a bowling shirt!

00:44:16No wonder!

00:44:17And a bowling ball!

00:44:19We're gonna go for the...

00:44:20Oh!

00:44:20And Mankind with a low blow!

00:44:22Wait, no!

00:44:23Mr. Sacco, that is!

00:44:24Mr. Sacco!

00:44:26Oh, he's got some tongs!

00:44:27He's got a set of tongs!

00:44:30Oh, man!

00:44:31Mr. Sacco and tongs hammering away!

00:44:34And Al Snow!

00:44:34It's a deadly tong!

00:44:36One, two, one!

00:44:38And Mankind's in control!

00:44:42Oh, no!

00:44:44Yeah, look out!

00:44:45Al Snow looks like he's in La La Land!

00:44:47Oh, no!

00:44:48Wait a minute!

00:44:49We've got Streetside!

00:44:51Tongs!

00:44:52And now bowling balls!

00:44:54Mankind set him...

00:44:55He thinks he's got lever!

00:44:56Oh!

00:44:59Mankind with a strike to Al Snow!

00:45:01I don't think so!

00:45:02I think he's still left the 7 and 10 pin!

00:45:08And Al Snow...

00:45:10...gasping for Al!

00:45:11Mankind knocks him over the top rope!

00:45:14Whoa!

00:45:15Mankind looking forward to this matchup...

00:45:19...against Al Snow!

00:45:21In the past, he hasn't wanted to fight his best friend!

00:45:24His former best friend, Al!

00:45:25But it's been about survival the past couple of weeks, Kane!

00:45:30Poor Al and his bowling balls!

00:45:32Well, you know what?

00:45:33The only good thing about that...

00:45:34...there probably won't be any more little Al's running around!

00:45:40Watch it!

00:45:41Up there on that steel stage!

00:45:43Balls count anywhere!

00:45:44Mankind in pursuit of Al Snow!

00:45:46And where the hell are they going now?

00:45:47What is...

00:45:49Oh!

00:45:49Al Snow with right hands of Mankind as Mankind tries to make it down those steps!

00:45:54Look out!

00:45:55Oh, man!

00:45:56Into that steel barricade!

00:45:58Balls count anywhere in this building!

00:46:00Here at Florida State!

00:46:03These guys are surrounded by steel and concrete!

00:46:07Somebody's gonna get hurt bad here, Michael!

00:46:10Hardcore legend of Mankind against the former hardcore champion, Al Snow!

00:46:15And they're all about hardcore here in the back!

00:46:18Look at this!

00:46:19People are getting out of the way!

00:46:20When they see these two coming, you gotta run!

00:46:23Well, I didn't.

00:46:23You did.

00:46:24But you asked me why I did.

00:46:25And look at this!

00:46:26Oh, man!

00:46:26Base first!

00:46:27Come on, Al!

00:46:28You love me now, Al!

00:46:29That's steel grating there, which holds equipment in the back!

00:46:32Look here!

00:46:32They're back in the locker room area!

00:46:35Al Snow hammering away on Mankind!

00:46:36False count anywhere!

00:46:38Oh, my God!

00:46:39Because I can't!

00:46:41That's my God!

00:46:44That's my God!

00:46:45I can't do this!

00:46:46I can't do this!

00:46:46He's bad-mouthing him at the same time!

00:46:50Another right-hand by Al Snow and Mankind battles back now!

00:46:53Wait a minute, Kang!

00:46:55Look at this!

00:46:57Look at this!

00:46:57They're in front of that DX dressing room door!

00:47:01We saw...

00:47:01Oh, no!

00:47:02Look!

00:47:03They just went inside!

00:47:07The cameraman was knocked down, and oh, no!

00:47:10Right!

00:47:10So Al Snow...

00:47:11Now I get it?

00:47:12Yeah, you get it now!

00:47:15What a great setup by Al Snow!

00:47:17Wait a minute!

00:47:17That's Al Snow!

00:47:18Al Snow's been tossed out of the locker room!

00:47:20Wait a minute, what is it now?

00:47:22Mankind into the cover now!

00:47:24One, two, three!

00:47:24What happened inside that locker room?

00:47:26Did DX do a number on Al Snow?

00:47:29We saw Al Snow talking!

00:47:32To DX before this match-up!

00:47:35Apparently, he tried to lure Mankind back to the DX locker room!

00:47:38It was a setup that...

00:47:40Apparently, it backfired on Al Snow, Kang!

00:47:43How would DX want to do in Al Snow?

00:47:46I have no idea!

00:47:47Hey!

00:47:48It's The Rock!

00:47:49It's The Rock!

00:47:50What?

00:47:51The plan backfired!

00:47:53The Rock took out Al Snow!

00:47:55The Rock's dressing room!

00:47:58Woo-ha-ha-ha!

00:48:01The Rock stuck it down!

00:48:03No!

00:48:03And Mankind picks up the win!

00:48:09I can't believe it!

00:48:10Jerry, I don't like it.

00:48:11The men in the Hemersleys are going crazy.

00:48:13This is a setup.

00:48:14We're going to get hurt real bad, Jerry.

00:48:16Come on, Pat.

00:48:17This is stupid.

00:48:18Come on, Pat.

00:48:18Get your head up.

00:48:19Don't come on me!

00:48:20All you want, you want a belt around your waist?

00:48:22Don't be so negative.

00:48:23Five years ago, we could have beat anybody in this business.

00:48:26You know that.

00:48:26You are the first Intercontinental Champion, Mike.

00:48:28Give me a break.

00:48:3020, 30 years ago, yes, but not now.

00:48:32You want to be a champion with a belt around your waist on a stretcher?

00:48:36Of course.

00:48:36Come on.

00:48:37I don't want to be on a stretcher.

00:48:38Think of this as a great opportunity.

00:48:39Come on, now.

00:48:40Let's go get ready.

00:48:41You're sick.

00:48:43We're back on SmackDown.

00:48:45What a wild ride it's been this week in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:48:48Stephanie McMahon turning her back on her father, joining forces with her husband, Triple H,

00:48:52to form the McMahon-Helmsley Coalition.

00:48:55Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

00:48:58First thing I'd like to say is that Vince and Shane, my brother and father, are not here tonight.

00:49:05Hey, keep it down.

00:49:07From now on, things are going to be handled a little bit differently.

00:49:09They're going to be handled a little bit more fair.

00:49:12From now on, top to bottom, everybody here is going to be treated fairly.

00:49:18Tonight marks the dawning of a new era in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:49:23The McMahon-Helmsley era.

00:49:26Yeah!

00:49:28Did you know me?

00:49:30Anyone who's been teaching me?

00:49:31Well, King, the McMahon-Helmsley era in full force here on SmackDown.

00:49:36Already, we've seen Tori being forced to face X-Pac.

00:49:40We just saw Al Snow and Mankind, which was signed by Triple H and Stephanie.

00:49:44And later on tonight, we're going to see the Rockin' Big Show for the WWF title.

00:49:49Oh, my!

00:49:51Who is the president of the World Wrestling Federation?

00:49:54Gary Fitzpatrick was going to win it away in this quarter at 40 pounds.

00:49:58Hey!

00:50:00Well, earlier on, we saw brother versus brother and Matt versus Jeff Hardy.

00:50:04We're going to see it again here in this matchup on SmackDown.

00:50:07I love this!

00:50:08I'm telling you, I love it!

00:50:09You get to see which of the brothers is the toughest!

00:50:12What is that?

00:50:13King, there's that.

00:50:15This arena is...

00:50:17Oh, the whole filling turns orange.

00:50:19We're basped in an orange glow.

00:50:23Well, that is free.

00:50:26Well, nonetheless, attention.

00:50:28Christian here is set to go one-on-one.

00:50:29All right, he's opponent...

00:50:31Christian!

00:50:35Christian!

00:50:36Christian!

00:50:39Christian!

00:50:40Christian!

00:50:42Christian!

00:50:43Christian!

00:50:46Christian!

00:51:00You guys have always got to hook up some drinks.

00:51:03You mind if I sit down?

00:51:04You mind if I watch a match on yourself?

00:51:06Champagne.

00:51:07Hey, you guys probably shouldn't drink too much.

00:51:09You got the Stooges in the big match.

00:51:10Maybe we actually should drink.

00:51:12I might address a little bit.

00:51:13You know, Hunter, let's go get a break for a share.

00:51:17All right, I guess we'll just have some grapes.

00:51:20Some cheese.

00:51:21Billy, that was neat.

00:51:22I've got to go get some fresh air.

00:51:24Fresh air.

00:51:25Fresh air.

00:51:26I don't...

00:51:27I don't mind.

00:51:28I don't mind eating these grapes.

00:51:30I'm here.

00:51:32So the New Age Outlaws, the Tag Team Champions looking on with interest to this matchup between Edge and Christian.

00:51:37And King, I've got to ask the question I asked back before in the Hardy Boys match.

00:51:40We know this match was set up by Stephanie and Triple H, right?

00:51:43Yeah.

00:51:44We know the New Age Outlaws are buddies of Triple H's.

00:51:46Okay, Sherlock Holmes.

00:51:48Okay, we know Edge and Christian and the Hardy Boys are two teams who are hot on the trail of

00:51:51winning the Tag Team titles from the Outlaws.

00:51:54Right.

00:51:54Do you think perhaps these two matches were set up to eliminate Edge and Christian and the Hardy Boys?

00:51:59What?

00:52:01Man, oh man, Oliver Stone.

00:52:03What's the deal here?

00:52:05Just asking some questions.

00:52:07Is Edge and Christian brother versus brother locked up in what should be a highly entertaining matchup here on SmackDown?

00:52:13And speaking of entertaining, the guys have an opportunity to compete here on national television.

00:52:19I mean, you can't get any better than this to be in SmackDown.

00:52:24Spinning heel kick by Edge and Christian rolls out of the ring.

00:52:27Make no mistake about it.

00:52:28These two brothers don't want to fight each other because they're being forced to by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.

00:52:33You know, it's so funny.

00:52:33I don't hear you complaining about the big huge match between the Rock and the Big Show.

00:52:38Oh, man.

00:52:39Christian.

00:52:39WWF title match.

00:52:40You're not complaining about that, are you?

00:52:41It's going to be a great matchup.

00:52:43It doesn't get any bigger than that, folks.

00:52:44The Rock versus the Big Show with the WWF Championship on the line.

00:52:50But I still have to question after what we saw during the Tory and X-Pac match earlier on, King,

00:52:56whether or not this fairness creed that Stephanie and Triple H laid out to us at the beginning of the

00:53:00program is actually sincere.

00:53:03You know what you might do?

00:53:04Wait a minute.

00:53:05Here's a cover by Christian on Edge and a kick out after two.

00:53:07You might just question yourself right off the air.

00:53:10Why?

00:53:11Who do you work for?

00:53:12I work for the World Wrestling Federation.

00:53:14Yeah, and you work for the McMahons and now, apparently, the McMahon-Helmsley era.

00:53:21You work for that.

00:53:22You know what I'm talking about?

00:53:23I got you.

00:53:23And here's Edge now.

00:53:24Tremendous bridge.

00:53:25Here's a cover and a kick out after two by Christian.

00:53:28So full of questions.

00:53:30What about these other matches set up by Stephanie and Triple H tonight?

00:53:34They were great.

00:53:34The acolytes and the posse, perhaps three times a charm for the Mean Street posse.

00:53:39Matt Patterson and Briscoe is the opportunity of their life.

00:53:42Christian just planted Edge, hooks the leg.

00:53:44There's two.

00:53:44And Edge again pops out.

00:53:46Yeah, Patterson and Briscoe against the New Age Outlaws Tag Team titles.

00:53:50Right.

00:53:50And they have magic heat.

00:53:51Or they're fired.

00:53:52Right.

00:53:52And can you imagine?

00:53:53Instead of having to show their AARP card for ID, they could just hold up the WWF Tag Team title

00:53:58belt.

00:53:59They could win.

00:54:00They could win, I guess.

00:54:01Edge with a boot to the face to Christian.

00:54:04And look at this now.

00:54:05Christian, nice reversal.

00:54:06Tremendous maneuver.

00:54:08And Edge now into the cover on Christian.

00:54:10There's the two count.

00:54:11Kick out by Christian again.

00:54:12It was close.

00:54:13Edge thought he had the three.

00:54:14The Stooges could really, they could really win the WWF Tag Team titles tonight.

00:54:19Or they could hurt real fast.

00:54:21Oh!

00:54:21Oh, like that!

00:54:22Great counter by Edge.

00:54:23Oh!

00:54:24And Christian pops out after the two count.

00:54:26Again, the New Age Outlaws.

00:54:28We just saw them looking on, watching this matchup.

00:54:30Against Edge and Christian.

00:54:33Look down.

00:54:34Nice leg sweep.

00:54:36Edge went for the spear.

00:54:37Christian counter with a leg sweep into the turnbuckle.

00:54:39See, these guys are brothers.

00:54:40They know exactly what each other are gonna do at all times.

00:54:43They can anticipate every move.

00:54:45Really didn't have to do a scouting report in this one.

00:54:47Edge up over the top.

00:54:49Climbing the ropes now.

00:54:51And Christian in trouble.

00:54:53But counters with a right hand.

00:54:54And another one.

00:54:56Watch out.

00:54:57Watch those close fists.

00:54:58You get yourself disqualified.

00:54:59We saw that earlier tonight.

00:55:00Two great young superstars.

00:55:02Oh, my!

00:55:03Yeah, that seemed a little fishy to me too, King.

00:55:06Chess getting disqualified because he was delivering a couple of points.

00:55:08Left.

00:55:08Cross body.

00:55:09Lateral press.

00:55:10Christian rolls into the cover.

00:55:11And a puff out again by Edge after two.

00:55:14Been a wild ride, hasn't it?

00:55:16I mean, we saw Tess get disqualified and didn't get his nose broken.

00:55:20Edge knocked off by Christian.

00:55:23Look at this now.

00:55:24Christian's got him.

00:55:26Edge counters.

00:55:27And wait a minute.

00:55:29I can see Pat Patterson trying to use that move.

00:55:32Who won?

00:55:33Hey!

00:55:34What's the decision here, King?

00:55:35He said Edge won.

00:55:38I couldn't tell who was pinned.

00:55:40Edge picked up the victory over Christian.

00:55:42And apparently Christian's shoulders were down.

00:55:44And he didn't like the fact the referee counted three.

00:55:46See, I told you, these guys want to prove a point.

00:55:49Oh!

00:55:51Christian raising the hand of his brother, Edge.

00:55:53And we're going to have to take another look at this one, King.

00:55:56Check this out now.

00:55:57Okay.

00:55:58Christian going for something.

00:55:59He got hooked there by Edge.

00:56:01Oh, yeah.

00:56:04Wait a minute.

00:56:06I don't know if that ref made the right call there or not.

00:56:08All right.

00:56:09It's picked up the victory number.

00:56:10Wait a minute now.

00:56:11Go, go, go.

00:56:12Where are they going?

00:56:13The posse, you're sneaking out of the building, King.

00:56:16I don't blame him.

00:56:17Hey, hey, hey.

00:56:18Where the hell are you going?

00:56:19Where are you going?

00:56:20Where are you going?

00:56:21The bag's in the car.

00:56:22The bag's in the car.

00:56:22The bag's in the car, huh?

00:56:24It seemed like you were going to put yourselves in the car.

00:56:26I'll tell you what.

00:56:26You guys get back in there now and get in the ring with the athletes.

00:56:30Go.

00:56:31Go now?

00:56:32Go.

00:56:32Well, your asses are fired.

00:56:35Go.

00:56:36Go.

00:56:37The big bucket, man.

00:56:39I think I'd rather be fired.

00:56:40Even earlier than leave.

00:56:43And now, the WWF Food of the Week, brought to you by Luggs.

00:56:48Tough boots built for the city.

00:56:50That's Luggs.

00:56:52A front shot with a chair.

00:56:54Kingy almost to Pete's head off.

00:56:56Take his head off.

00:56:57Look at that chair.

00:56:58What a tear shot.

00:56:59You'll never be able to sit in that again.

00:57:01A shot right to the cranium.

00:57:04The alkalines have just destroyed the posse.

00:57:06Oh, my God.

00:57:08That was the WWF Food of the Week, brought to you by Luggs.

00:57:12Boots and jeans with attitude.

00:57:14Luggs.

00:57:15Decide and conquer.

00:57:20King, I'll tell you what.

00:57:21You'd rather be fired too, wouldn't you?

00:57:23Put on your hard hat.

00:57:24That won't do any good.

00:57:26And batten down the hatches.

00:57:27That won't do any good either.

00:57:28Here comes Farouk and Bradshaw.

00:57:31The acolytes.

00:57:32Who's that?

00:57:33Making their winner in a combined weight of 578 pounds.

00:57:39Bradshaw and through the acolytes.

00:57:43A tremendous reception for the acolytes, including, of course, Farouk King.

00:57:48All-American from right here at Florida State.

00:57:50There you see it.

00:57:51Welcome back.

00:57:52They retired his jersey here.

00:57:58I think tonight they may retire the posse.

00:58:00Yeah, will it be free time a charm for the posse?

00:58:05Well, if they are, I would say.

00:58:07Somebody's going to the woodshed.

00:58:13And their opponents, Attica Meinweb, 766 pounds.

00:58:18Rodney, Pete Gass, and Joey Adams.

00:58:22The lead street pussy.

00:58:24I'll go ahead and call 911 right now, or at least an ambulance.

00:58:27Well, how's Pete Gass still walking after that chair shot we saw in the Lug's Boot of the Week?

00:58:31He's still a little wobbly.

00:58:33What's it going, Todd Piddle?

00:58:34Well, you know, the posse's set to take on the acolytes here in another matchup.

00:58:37Set up by Stephanie and Triple H.

00:58:40And here we go now.

00:58:41Three on two.

00:58:42Acolytes against the posse.

00:58:43You know, King.

00:58:44Our posse could at least borrow some Florida State football helmets.

00:58:47Look at Bradshaw, double teamed by the posse.

00:58:49You know the acolytes, King.

00:58:50Send in some messages as of late.

00:58:53They're going to take on the tag team champions next month at the Royal Rumble.

00:58:57Look at this.

00:58:58Look at this now.

00:58:59Total carnage.

00:59:00Oh, my.

00:59:01Cover by Farouk.

00:59:02Hook of the leg.

00:59:03What?

00:59:04And, folks, this one is over.

00:59:07Look at that idiot Pete Gass.

00:59:08And what is Pete Gass and Joey Adams?

00:59:10What are they thinking about?

00:59:13Hello.

00:59:14You lost the match.

00:59:15Get out of town.

00:59:16Death Wish mean anything to you?

00:59:17Go back to the locker room.

00:59:19Oh, man.

00:59:20Oh!

00:59:21And the big...

00:59:22I'm gonna say that I'm gonna stop.

00:59:24And another one.

00:59:28King, let me ask you a question.

00:59:30You're the posse.

00:59:31You lose the match.

00:59:32Uh-oh, I ain't the posse.

00:59:33I'd be fired right now.

00:59:34Now, look at Pete Gass into those steel steps.

00:59:40And I don't like the looks of Farouk out here.

00:59:42What are you gonna do with those steps?

00:59:46Oh!

00:59:47You're getting the...

00:59:48You're getting the chance before the Saints had the chops.

00:59:51Well, Farouk's on his own toe.

00:59:53Steps meet Joey Adams.

00:59:55Oh.

00:59:57Oh!

00:59:58I wonder what Triple H and Stephanie think about this carnage.

01:00:02Oh, they're probably enjoying this.

01:00:04I'm sure they are.

01:00:05I know what Stephanie is, at least.

01:00:06Look at that!

01:00:07Oh!

01:00:08A chair shot to Rodney.

01:00:10Bent the chair.

01:00:11That steel chair was bent on the forehead of Rodney.

01:00:15And Stephanie continues to get some revenge on the Mean Street Posse.

01:00:21Now you guys can leave if you can still walk.

01:00:24Oh, no, they can't leave yet.

01:00:25They should have left when the match was over.

01:00:28Pete Gass was just planted by the Acolyte.

01:00:34I think a letter of resignation would have been a lot easier.

01:00:37Oh, man!

01:00:39I would have picked up the pink slip at the door.

01:00:43The Acolyte victorious for Ruth Lovin' being back home.

01:00:47Lillian Garcia standing by with good old JR.

01:00:52JR, thank you very much for spending this time with me.

01:00:55I do want to ask you one quick question.

01:00:57You know, you've been around the WWF for a very, very long time.

01:01:00And, in fact, you are the voice of the World Wrestling Federation.

01:01:04In that time, have you ever experienced anything like what's happening right now with the McMahon-Helmsley era?

01:01:10Well, no, I haven't.

01:01:11I think Stephanie and Triple H's actions are reprehensible.

01:01:16I think it's sad.

01:01:18I'm embarrassed.

01:01:19I'm embarrassed for our fans.

01:01:20And I'm dang sure embarrassed for the McMahon family, whom I'm very close to.

01:01:25Well, let's talk about the McMahon family.

01:01:27Let's talk about Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

01:01:29JR, if you had one word to describe her actions, what would that be?

01:01:35Well, I'd hate to say it, but she's acting like a little...

01:01:39She's a little...

01:01:41Let me say this, Lillian.

01:01:42It rhymes with which, and it starts with a B.

01:01:46Okay.

01:01:47Thank you, JR.

01:01:49Who the hell do you think you are, JR, huh?

01:01:51The voice of the World Wrestling Federation?

01:01:53You think that means a damn to me?

01:01:55I've done stuff to you before.

01:01:57I'll do it again, JR.

01:01:58I swear to God, you better stay out of our way.

01:02:01Would you call me, JR?

01:02:03Come on, I want to hear it.

01:02:03I didn't call you anything, Steph.

01:02:04Yes, you did.

01:02:05I want to hear you say it.

01:02:06I'm not going to say it.

01:02:07I'm not going to say it.

01:02:08Oh!

01:02:09Wow!

01:02:10Stephanie!

01:02:10Come on, get out!

01:02:11Get out!

01:02:14Get out!

01:02:17Did you see that?

01:02:18Wow!

01:02:19JR, he was just standing up.

01:02:21I mean, finally, JR got his!

01:02:24Man.

01:02:26Stephanie McMahon.

01:02:27You don't know how long I've been waiting for that.

01:02:31From Stephanie McMahon, he gets it, of all people.

01:02:34She's snapping tapes out of his mouth.

01:02:36Well, JR was just speaking his mind,

01:02:37and what he thought about this McMahon-Helmsley era,

01:02:40and, well, he paid for it, all right.

01:02:42I'm not kidding.

01:02:44So, for Woodfall, making their way to the ring,

01:02:47and the combined weight of 864 pounds,

01:02:51Rikishi and 2 Cool.

01:02:54So, Rikishi and 2 Cool set for a big six-man tag team matchup

01:02:58here on SmackDown.

01:03:00Well, and I'll tell you what I'm set for.

01:03:01I'm set for Christmas,

01:03:02and if you're looking for the greatest Christmas gift ever,

01:03:04you got it right here at WWFWired.com.

01:03:25If you've got a computer, son,

01:03:26and you give me Stone Cold Steve Austin,

01:03:29well, then you've done something.

01:03:31I don't listen to anybody.

01:03:32I don't talk for anybody.

01:03:34It is great.

01:03:46Uh-oh.

01:03:48And their opponent's first set a combined weight

01:03:52of well over 800 pounds,

01:03:55Crash and Hardcore Holley

01:03:57and their tag team partner,

01:04:01Viscera.

01:04:02Okay, this matchup,

01:04:03this six-man matchup,

01:04:05is a direct result of what happened at Armageddon

01:04:07when Viscera and Rikishi took on the Holley.

01:04:11Well, the Holley won after Viscera

01:04:13inadvertently clombered Rikishi,

01:04:15his own partner,

01:04:16well, at least he thought it was inadvertently.

01:04:18And perhaps this could be payback tonight

01:04:20with Rikishi and Tukul

01:04:22against Viscera and the Holley.

01:04:23Well, it's another great match

01:04:25that's been put together by the,

01:04:26well, the Hemsley-McMahon era.

01:04:29I love it.

01:04:29Well, speaking of paybacks,

01:04:31it didn't take Stephanie McMahon-Hemsley

01:04:33too long to get a little bit of payback

01:04:34on J.R.

01:04:36That was a slap her around the world, wasn't it?

01:04:38Man, I bet his little fat jaws

01:04:41are still ringing right now.

01:04:43I just want to ask...

01:04:44I just want to ask the question,

01:04:46I mean, when SmackDown started tonight,

01:04:48you know...

01:04:48That'd be a great double feature.

01:04:49Triple H and Stephanie did say

01:04:51that there was going to be a new fairness

01:04:52here in the World Wrestling Federation,

01:04:54that people were going to get opportunities

01:04:55and shots that didn't get them in the past.

01:04:58And...

01:04:59You know, what's fair to me is

01:05:01the fairest thing you've got going

01:05:03is an eye for an eye,

01:05:04tooth for a tooth.

01:05:04When somebody says something bad about somebody,

01:05:07they've got to pay the price.

01:05:08That's only fair.

01:05:09And J.R., I mean, you've got to admit,

01:05:11he badmouthed Stephanie McMahon.

01:05:12He called her a...

01:05:13Well, okay, he did not.

01:05:15He was just speaking his mind.

01:05:16He was standing up for what he said.

01:05:17He said it right with which

01:05:18and started with a B?

01:05:19Give me a break.

01:05:20Hey, King, Stephanie nailed it right on the head

01:05:22when she was sitting out here at ringside

01:05:23earlier on tonight,

01:05:24when she said,

01:05:25all you've been doing

01:05:25is sucking up to her

01:05:27the past couple of days.

01:05:28You know what?

01:05:28She nailed J.R. right on the head.

01:05:30Yeah, what about the side of the head?

01:05:32Yeah, and you just...

01:05:33Hey, watch this match.

01:05:34Call the action.

01:05:34And here we go now.

01:05:36Grandmaster Sexay

01:05:37going to work

01:05:37on Crash Holly

01:05:39in this six-man match-up.

01:05:40Uh-oh.

01:05:41Watch it.

01:05:42Getting cool.

01:05:42Put the goggles on.

01:05:43Oh, my.

01:05:43From behind.

01:05:45Well, this new era of fairness,

01:05:47the McMahon-Helmsley era

01:05:48is underway,

01:05:50and The Rock gets a huge opportunity

01:05:52later on tonight.

01:05:53Rock and The Big Show

01:05:54one-on-one

01:05:55for the World Wrestling Federation title.

01:05:57What's not fair about that?

01:05:59Huh?

01:05:59Don't you think it's fair

01:06:00that The Rock,

01:06:01The People's Champion,

01:06:02gets the shot

01:06:03to become the WWF champion again?

01:06:04I do believe The Rock

01:06:05deserves a title shot.

01:06:06And here comes Rikishi now

01:06:07hammering away

01:06:08on Hardcore Holly.

01:06:10And what's not fair

01:06:11about the,

01:06:12well,

01:06:13the old Hall of Famers,

01:06:14Pat Patterson,

01:06:15Joe Briscoe,

01:06:16getting a chance

01:06:16to be famous again?

01:06:17Well, they take on

01:06:18the Tag Team Champions

01:06:19of the New Age Outlaws.

01:06:20That kick

01:06:21to the face of Hardcore

01:06:23echoed throughout

01:06:24this building.

01:06:24Like that slap

01:06:25on J.R.'s face

01:06:26from Stephanie.

01:06:28Enough of that

01:06:29as Scotty Too Hotty

01:06:32comes into the ring

01:06:33and what in the world

01:06:34is he wearing?

01:06:35I don't know.

01:06:37Look out,

01:06:37he about to take off.

01:06:38Well, you know what comes now?

01:06:49same thing.

01:06:51And Rock and Big Show,

01:06:52what a war that's gonna be

01:06:53later on tonight

01:06:54right here on SmackDown.

01:06:55The Rock with a golden

01:06:56opportunity

01:06:57to become the World Wrestling

01:06:58Federation Champion.

01:07:00Oh, look at Scotty!

01:07:01Scotty underneath.

01:07:02Oh, face first,

01:07:03Hardcore,

01:07:03and look out now.

01:07:04Hardcore gonna feed

01:07:10Hardcore

01:07:11Grandmaster Sex A

01:07:12with a little high-five

01:07:13for his partner.

01:07:13Just told him he was cool.

01:07:15He is cool.

01:07:15And look at Scotty Too Hotty now.

01:07:17Top rope.

01:07:17Hardcore turns around.

01:07:18Scotty flies to the end.

01:07:20He flew right into that one.

01:07:22Well,

01:07:22waited a little too long there,

01:07:23Scotty.

01:07:23And Hardcore Holly

01:07:25slamming Scotty Too Hotty

01:07:26to the mat below.

01:07:27You know,

01:07:27you keep saying

01:07:28these guys are cool.

01:07:28If you gotta tell somebody

01:07:29they're cool, King,

01:07:30well, then they're not.

01:07:31I gotta tell you

01:07:32because you don't know

01:07:33what's cool.

01:07:34Cool is a state of mind.

01:07:35It's a being.

01:07:36It's not telling people you are.

01:07:37And look at the suplex

01:07:38by Hardcore

01:07:39on Scotty Too Hotty.

01:07:40How would you know

01:07:41anything about cool?

01:07:42Can you dance?

01:07:43Yes, I can.

01:07:43A little bit.

01:07:44Oh.

01:07:44I can two-step.

01:07:45I saw you river dance.

01:07:46And look at this now.

01:07:47That's not really dancing.

01:07:49The 500-pound Viscera

01:07:51slamming Scotty Too Hotty

01:07:52to the mat

01:07:52and talking about

01:07:53your classic mismatch.

01:07:55Scotty Too Hotty

01:07:56with the speed here.

01:07:57But he walked in

01:07:57and it's a low-and-drop

01:07:59by Viscera

01:08:01with authority.

01:08:04Uh-oh.

01:08:05And Scotty Too Hotty

01:08:07flattened like a pancake

01:08:08by the 500-pound Viscera.

01:08:10I thought he was going to get

01:08:11the cool squashed out of me.

01:08:12Uh-oh.

01:08:12And look at this.

01:08:13The strength of Viscera.

01:08:15Scotty Too Hotty

01:08:16in the air

01:08:19by a neck.

01:08:22Slammed down to the mat.

01:08:26And Hardcore now

01:08:27into the ring off the tag.

01:08:30Taking advantage

01:08:30of the job Viscera did

01:08:32on Scotty Too Hotty.

01:08:34What do you think

01:08:34that Viscera's jacket

01:08:35is made out of?

01:08:37Whatever it is,

01:08:38a whole herd of them

01:08:39were wiped out

01:08:39to make it.

01:08:40Oh!

01:08:41Hardcore

01:08:41with a clothesline.

01:08:43Now into the cover.

01:08:44Hook of the leg.

01:08:45Now this should be...

01:08:46Oh!

01:08:46Scott Taylor

01:08:47got his shoulder up.

01:08:51And look at Hardcore now.

01:08:53Scoop

01:08:54of Scotty Too Hotty.

01:08:55I don't know why

01:08:56Scotty don't get over there

01:08:56and tag Rakeshi in.

01:08:58Again, folks,

01:08:59Vince McMahon,

01:09:00Shane McMahon

01:09:01not here tonight.

01:09:01They left Raw

01:09:02in disgust.

01:09:03Oh!

01:09:04To the face of Hardcore

01:09:05on Monday night.

01:09:07Vince needed a break anyway.

01:09:08He needed a little time off.

01:09:09This is, uh...

01:09:10I think this may turn out

01:09:11to be the best thing

01:09:12for everybody.

01:09:13You know,

01:09:13we're fixing to go

01:09:13into a new millennium.

01:09:15Yeah, new millennium

01:09:16with McMahon Helmsley.

01:09:18Here we go!

01:09:19Lead the charge.

01:09:19And here's Rakeshi.

01:09:21And Rakeshi,

01:09:22a fall of fire,

01:09:23going to work on the Hollies.

01:09:25A right hand to Hardcore.

01:09:27Everybody's in now.

01:09:28Scotty Too Hotty and Viscera,

01:09:29Grandmaster Sexy and Crash.

01:09:31And Rakeshi continues

01:09:33to work on Hardcore.

01:09:34Into the steps

01:09:35goes Crash Holly.

01:09:37Look at the backside of Rakeshi.

01:09:38He's got buns of steel.

01:09:40Scotty talked out of the ring.

01:09:42Viscera with a shot

01:09:43to Rakeshi from behind.

01:09:45And now Rakeshi and Viscera

01:09:47squared off in the corner.

01:09:49You can actually park

01:09:50a small car

01:09:51in those different areas.

01:09:52Over 900 pounds of beef.

01:09:54And look at Rakeshi!

01:09:56The backside to Viscera

01:09:58on the front side.

01:09:59And then he cleans

01:10:00Holly's clock.

01:10:02And you know what?

01:10:03Next, King.

01:10:04We've seen this before.

01:10:06Uh-oh.

01:10:06And Viscera counted again.

01:10:10Referees lost control in here

01:10:12as Viscera and Hardcore

01:10:13are double-teaming Rakeshi.

01:10:18Oh, man.

01:10:20Hardcore kicked

01:10:21to the midsection.

01:10:22Here comes Viscera.

01:10:23And Viscera ran

01:10:24into his own partner.

01:10:25And then they kicked

01:10:26to Viscera

01:10:27through the ropes.

01:10:28And Rakeshi is quick for him.

01:10:31Oh, no.

01:10:31Oh, man.

01:10:32Viscera said he's had enough.

01:10:33He's setting up the ramp.

01:10:34Oh, please.

01:10:35Rakeshi, Hardcore's in trouble.

01:10:37And the second rope.

01:10:38And time to get Holly.

01:10:39Go on!

01:10:40Flattened Hardcore Holly.

01:10:42This one is over.

01:10:45Rakeshi with the wherewithal

01:10:46to move out of the corner.

01:10:48Here you go, Drew Cole

01:10:48and Rakeshi.

01:10:50And Viscera

01:10:51flattened his own partner,

01:10:52Hardcore Holly.

01:10:53And Rakeshi took advantage.

01:10:55What an ass.

01:10:56Look at that.

01:10:57What?

01:10:58Oh.

01:10:59I'm talking to you.

01:11:00Well, King,

01:11:01put on your dancing shoes.

01:11:03Rakeshi and Tukul

01:11:04have picked up the win.

01:11:05Okay.

01:11:06Here I go.

01:11:09Wait a minute.

01:11:09I don't think Rakeshi wants it.

01:11:12They have to talk him

01:11:12into dancing?

01:11:14Now, Scotty too hot.

01:11:15Trying to get the crowd

01:11:16behind Rakeshi.

01:11:19Here they go.

01:11:21Put the goggles on him,

01:11:22he'll dance.

01:11:22You don't have to clap

01:11:23right along with him.

01:11:24Why not?

01:11:25Keep with it.

01:11:26Michael Crawford

01:11:27wants in your life

01:11:27to be cool.

01:11:30Too cool and Rakeshi

01:11:31victorious in this one.

01:11:36Check it out, King.

01:11:37I love this.

01:11:38This is so cool.

01:11:40Look.

01:11:43This is so happening.

01:11:44Rakeshi getting jiggy with it.

01:11:46Hot smackdown.

01:11:48Look.

01:11:48Oh, baby.

01:11:53Look at that.

01:11:55Oh, man.

01:11:57Lordy, lordy.

01:12:02I can say I've never

01:12:04quite seen anything like this.

01:12:07It could be the whole right side

01:12:08to the floor of the same line.

01:12:11We can't take this lightly.

01:12:12They're old as dirt, yeah.

01:12:14But Patterson,

01:12:14he was an intercontinental champ.

01:12:16Yeah, back in 1902.

01:12:18Well, and still,

01:12:19Briscoe's a shooter,

01:12:20so what we gotta do

01:12:22is give them the beating

01:12:23of their old decrepit life.

01:12:25Beat them within

01:12:25an inch of their life.

01:12:27Yeah, but wait until they find out

01:12:28it's a no-DQ match.

01:12:31What?

01:12:33No-DQ match?

01:12:34Yeah, right.

01:12:37Santa, I don't understand why

01:12:39I have to tell you again

01:12:40all the naughty things I did.

01:12:42You should know.

01:12:42You see everything, remember?

01:12:44Please, just humor Santa Claus.

01:12:47Okay.

01:12:48It was the day after Christmas.

01:12:50Me and a couple of my girlfriends,

01:12:52leftover champagne, you know.

01:12:54So, we had a couple of glasses

01:12:57and, um,

01:12:58let me pull up.

01:12:59We'll get in.

01:13:00Let's go.

01:13:01From a Terry Christmas to this.

01:13:04It came just because

01:13:05Patterson and Briscoe

01:13:07showed a little bit of compassion

01:13:08earlier on,

01:13:08helping out the test

01:13:09after that buggy by D-X.

01:13:11They've been forced into this

01:13:13no-disqualification matchup

01:13:15against the new age out.

01:13:17Boy, I'll tell you what,

01:13:18I thought we'd seen it all tonight.

01:13:19We saw Jared Cohen

01:13:20take on Prince Albert,

01:13:22trying to come out with a helpful,

01:13:23for no reason.

01:13:23For the World Wrestling

01:13:2513th Tag Team Championship,

01:13:27introducing the challengers,

01:13:30Gerald Briscoe

01:13:32and Pat Patterson.

01:13:34We saw Tess get his nose

01:13:36refroken by Triple H.

01:13:37These guys come out to help.

01:13:40And, I mean, we've seen us.

01:13:41I thought we'd seen it all,

01:13:42but now we're gonna see

01:13:43Patterson and Briscoe

01:13:45get a chance to become

01:13:46the WWF Tag Team Champions.

01:13:50Oh, you didn't know?

01:13:54You're gonna call somebody!

01:14:00Oh, this was another match

01:14:02set up by Stephanie McMahon

01:14:04Helmpley and her husband,

01:14:05Triple H.

01:14:06The dawning of a new era upon us

01:14:08in the World Wrestling Federation.

01:14:11You see, it's me, it's me, it's a D-O-D-O-D-G!

01:14:18Rolling once again with that B-A-D-O-D-D!

01:14:22You know, King, if this was about

01:14:2410, 15 years ago,

01:14:26or maybe longer than that,

01:14:27I'd give Briscoe and Patterson a chance.

01:14:29Great tag team wrestlers in their day.

01:14:31Had Patterson a Hall of Famer,

01:14:33but the bottom line is

01:14:34the Outlaws in their prime

01:14:36are the greatest tag team

01:14:37in the history

01:14:38of the World Wrestling Federation.

01:14:39Yeah, Patterson and Briscoe

01:14:41would have a chance

01:14:41since about 10, 15 years ago.

01:14:43That's the music!

01:14:43But the New Age Outlaws

01:14:44would only be about 15 years old!

01:14:51Can you believe this?

01:14:54You know, hold on.

01:14:55You know what?

01:14:56We might better get your families

01:14:58to sign a waiver

01:15:01so they can't sue us

01:15:02in case you guys have

01:15:04a heart attack right here.

01:15:05Hey, man!

01:15:07Briscoe with pattern of the eyes

01:15:08of B.A. Billy Gunn

01:15:09and Patterson hammering away

01:15:11on Road Dogg!

01:15:12They brought some sort of weapons!

01:15:14Well, these old dogs

01:15:14have got some new tricks!

01:15:17And Pat Patterson

01:15:18out of his trunks!

01:15:19What did he pull out of his...

01:15:20Oh, my!

01:15:21To the midsection of the Road Dogg!

01:15:23Keep in mind, folks,

01:15:24this is no disqualification

01:15:26for the tag team titles

01:15:28at Briscoe and Patterson!

01:15:29He's got a chain!

01:15:30They've got some fight in them!

01:15:31There's no telling

01:15:32what he's got in those trunks!

01:15:34With those pants!

01:15:35Right hand with that chain

01:15:36to the forehead of the Road Dogg!

01:15:37And Briscoe and Patterson

01:15:38have surprised the Outlaws here!

01:15:40Briscoe with a suplex!

01:15:44Patterson and Briscoe!

01:15:46And look out!

01:15:46The Stooges are...

01:15:48The Boston Crab!

01:15:49Patterson has Road Dogg

01:15:51in a submission maneuver!

01:15:52Look at Briscoe!

01:15:53Briscoe with a figure four

01:15:54on Billy Gunn!

01:15:56Are we gonna have

01:15:56new tag team champions?

01:15:57Will the Outlaws submit?

01:15:59We can have new tag team champions!

01:16:00And Road Dogg breaks the hold!

01:16:03And Briscoe still isn't

01:16:04locked into Billy Gunn

01:16:05before Road Dogg makes the save!

01:16:07Uh-oh!

01:16:09Patterson and Briscoe King

01:16:10had no choice

01:16:11but to compete in this match

01:16:13or they would have been fired!

01:16:14Look at Patterson!

01:16:15I think he got dropped

01:16:16right on his head!

01:16:18And now the New Age Outlaws

01:16:19looking to take advantage!

01:16:20Patterson with a reversal

01:16:21into the corner!

01:16:21And nobody home!

01:16:22And Patterson into that

01:16:23steel post!

01:16:24Oh!

01:16:25And now the Outlaws

01:16:27going to work

01:16:28on Patterson and Briscoe!

01:16:30So an early flurry!

01:16:32Not enough yet!

01:16:33And they can Road Dogg!

01:16:34They've got some nuts!

01:16:35Those brass knuckles!

01:16:36No disqualification!

01:16:38This is perfectly legal

01:16:39to the forehead

01:16:40of Pat Patterson!

01:16:43Again, just because

01:16:44Patterson and Briscoe

01:16:45showed a little bit

01:16:45of sympathy

01:16:46to help out Test

01:16:46who had his nosery

01:16:47broken tonight

01:16:48at the hands of DX!

01:16:50And look at this!

01:16:50Great takedown!

01:16:51Fireman's carry by Briscoe!

01:16:53You're gonna find out

01:16:53one of these days

01:16:54that kindness

01:16:55is a weakness, Michael!

01:16:56Well, kindness tonight

01:16:58forced Patterson and Briscoe

01:16:59into this matchup

01:17:00and now Road Dogg!

01:17:02A badmister by Billy Gunn!

01:17:04That should be in!

01:17:07The tag champs

01:17:08had the problems

01:17:09in the beginning

01:17:10but they retained the title

01:17:13in the end!

01:17:28The Outlaws win

01:17:28in a match

01:17:29that was set up

01:18:41that this is gonna

01:18:42be The Rock's night

01:18:43This match was set up

01:18:45by Stephanie McMahon

01:18:46and Triple H

01:18:47And it's for the

01:18:49World of

01:18:50World of

01:18:51World of

01:18:52World of

01:18:53World of

01:18:55World of

01:18:59World of

01:19:02The Rocks set

01:19:03to take on

01:19:04the big show

01:19:04for the WWF

01:19:06Championship

01:19:06And King

01:19:07we just saw

01:19:08at the smack

01:19:09of the night

01:19:09Stephanie McMahon

01:19:10and Triple H

01:19:11have been flexing

01:19:12their muscle

01:19:12all night long

01:19:13here on SmackDown

01:19:15Boy and Stephanie

01:19:16laid the smack

01:19:17of the Jim Ross

01:19:30He's the world wrestling federation champion, he's the big show, but I just kind of feel it, that tonight, The

01:19:45Rock is going to lay down some smack of his own.

01:19:48The Rock vs. The Big Show, WWF title is on the line, here on SmackDown.

01:19:57Wait a minute, what the, what's that? What is going on now? Oh boy.

01:20:04Well, King, check this out. Well, they made this match, I guess they want to get a good, up close

01:20:10and personal look at it. This could be the biggest match ever in the history of the WWF, so.

01:20:15On the new first couple, I guess you would say, of the World Wrestling Federation.

01:20:20I don't recall if I informed you guys, so I'll come out here and do it now.

01:20:27And, this title match.

01:20:34Hey, wait a minute.

01:20:38You'll come out there and have Stephanie snap every one of your faces if you don't shut up.

01:20:46This title match just happens to be a lumberjack match.

01:20:52What? Lumberjack match.

01:20:57Big Show and Rock one-on-one for the title, but it's going to be a lumberjack match, and who

01:21:02are they going to be?

01:21:03They're sitting in a lazy boy.

01:21:06Oh, wait a minute. Now we're starting to get our clue, and look who's leading the pack.

01:21:11You got DX, along with the Dudley boys, heading down to the ring.

01:21:16And King, this doesn't smell too good.

01:21:20These guys are all going to be lumberjacks, so in case either one of these participants are thrown out of

01:21:24the ring, or fall out of the ring, or get knocked out of the ring, these lumberjacks are there to

01:21:28put them back in.

01:21:30You got DX on one side, the posse, the Dudley boys, Prince Albert.

01:21:35Look at Viscera heading down the ramp, King.

01:21:37I don't know if this was...

01:21:39Oh, look at this.

01:21:41And look at Triple H and his new bride, Stephanie McMahon Helmsley, enjoying this one.

01:21:48And, King, I really have to question, will there be the objectivity of the lumberjacks who are going to be

01:21:54surrounding this ring here?

01:21:56I'm not worried about the lumberjacks. I'm looking back there at Stephanie and Triple H.

01:22:00You know, power is an aphrodisiac.

01:22:02It is. It's a drug, there's no doubt.

01:22:04And they are, uh...

01:22:06They're out of control.

01:22:07They're enjoying it.

01:22:08Now, don't get any ideas. They're too concerning to know.

01:22:11They're married.

01:22:12Rock and Big Show now, WWF Championship on the line, and the 500-pounder going to work on the midsection

01:22:17of The Rock.

01:22:18Wow.

01:22:19Big Show misses. Rock will have the speed in this one.

01:22:21Big Show, of course, with the strength.

01:22:23And The Rock now, Cameron away.

01:22:24On the Big Show.

01:22:25Smackdown! Smackdown! Smack being laid down!

01:22:29And look at now, look at the strength of the Big Show.

01:22:31One hand, tossing The Rock into the corner, and what a slap!

01:22:35I'll tell you what, Rock's got an oversized, king-sized bed right at the Smackdown Hotel for the champion here

01:22:42tonight.

01:22:43And the Lumberjack surrounding the ring as Stephanie and Triple H look on.

01:22:48And, King, I don't know if I'm treading in murky water here.

01:22:51Let me give this a shot.

01:22:53Let me just tell you, you are. Go ahead.

01:22:54Everything that we've seen here tonight, do you think perhaps that Triple H and Stephanie have an agenda that perhaps

01:22:59that personal vendettas are being carried out by the Helmsley-McMahon Coalition?

01:23:07I'm not gonna go there. You can go there if you want to. I'm not gonna go there.

01:23:10And look at The Rock now. What a Russian leg sweep on The Big Show.

01:23:14Cover now! Could be a new champion in a kick-out after two by the 500-pounder.

01:23:18And what a nip-up by The Big Show.

01:23:20And a long kick! A drop kick by The 500-pounder!

01:23:24And look at this! The Rock's outside the ring!

01:23:26Hey, wait. They're supposed to throw him in, not beat him up!

01:23:29Does that answer your question about objectivity, Michael?

01:23:32Yeah, that answers my question all right.

01:23:34The Lumberjacks are supposed to toss him in the ring, not beat the hell out of him.

01:23:39Uh-oh.

01:23:40The Big Show misses right hand, and The Rock delivers two right hands of his own.

01:23:44The World Wrestling Federation Championship's on the line.

01:23:47And look at The Big Show over the top rope, and they're gonna get this over The Big Show as

01:23:51well!

01:23:51They're all over The Big Show!

01:23:52They're supposed to be tossing him back in the ring!

01:23:56Well, see, this is fair!

01:23:58They're impartial!

01:23:59Well, keep in mind, King, it was The Big Show who won the World Wrestling Federation Championship from Triple H

01:24:06in the Triple Threat Match at Survivor Series!

01:24:08Yeah, but The Rock was also involved in that match!

01:24:11Yeah, and Vince screwed Hunter as well!

01:24:14Oh, look at The Rock!

01:24:15Counter with a DDT!

01:24:17Here's a cover now!

01:24:18Hooks the leg!

01:24:19And what's X-Pac doing on the apron?

01:24:21And it's Billy Gunn, and he got his tune!

01:24:23The Lumberjacks are supposed to be up on the apron!

01:24:26And look at this now!

01:24:27The Rock can't do this!

01:24:28He can't do it!

01:24:29The Rock!

01:24:30The Rock bought a Big Show!

01:24:32Hooks the leg!

01:24:33And Billy Gunn!

01:24:34We had a new champion!

01:24:36And Billy Gunn interfered!

01:24:37The Rock just Rock bought it!

01:24:39The Big Show!

01:24:40These guys got a funny way of maintaining order if you ask me!

01:24:43King, this isn't fair!

01:24:45This is for the WWF title!

01:24:47And the Lumberjacks are interfering in this matchup!

01:24:50Looks like we got a giant chokeslam coming!

01:24:54And The Rock now!

01:24:55The Rock now!

01:24:55Big Show!

01:24:57Setting up The Rock!

01:24:58The People's Champ!

01:24:59Going for the ride!

01:25:00Oh!

01:25:01Chokeslam!

01:25:02That should be it!

01:25:03Here's the cover!

01:25:04Look at DX again!

01:25:06Pulling Big Show out of the ring!

01:25:08And clubbing away at him!

01:25:09It took four guys to pull him out of the ring, but they did it!

01:25:12Yeah, look at Triple H and Stephanie!

01:25:13They're enjoying this!

01:25:14Yeah, they are!

01:25:15I am too!

01:25:19Hey, you can't ask for it to be more fair!

01:25:22These Lumberjacks are doing the exact same thing to both of these guys!

01:25:26The Big Show and The Rock!

01:25:28Again, King, as Rock comes off the rope!

01:25:30Tries for the clothesline and can't knock The Big Show down!

01:25:33Oh man!

01:25:34Jeez!

01:25:36And look at The Rock again!

01:25:37He's got it!

01:25:38He's got it!

01:25:38Third time!

01:25:38Third time to charm!

01:25:40I think even Steph is impressed!

01:25:42And The Rock now!

01:25:43Big Show to his feet!

01:25:44The Rock again!

01:25:45No!

01:25:45And both men outside the ring!

01:25:47And look at this!

01:25:48The Lumberjacks like vultures!

01:25:50Going after The Rock and The Big Show!

01:25:52Got them both!

01:25:53This isn't fair!

01:25:55How many Lumberjacks are there?

01:25:5615!

01:25:57This is a muggy!

01:25:58Triple H and Stephanie set up The Rock and The Big Show!

01:26:01Look at Viscera pounding!

01:26:03The Big Show!

01:26:06King!

01:26:07King!

01:26:08It's...

01:26:09It's Mankind for The Rock and Sock Connection!

01:26:12And he's pushing out!

01:26:13You know what he's doing?
