00:00:03Excuse me. Excuse me. Attention, please. Can I have everybody's attention just for a second, please?

00:00:13This should only take a couple minutes. I've been here quite a while. I'd like to think I have at

00:00:19least the respect of a lot of you and your attention for a couple of minutes while I

00:00:23address something that's going on that I know I don't like. I don't think many of you care for

00:00:28either. And I'm talking specifically about the McMahon-Helmsley error in the WWE. Yeah. Yeah.

00:00:35That's right. Frankly, I think this new era stinks. And I'm probably not the only one who walked away

00:00:42from the arena on Monday night saying, I feel a little bit foolish for letting Triple H order me

00:00:48to have a match. I mean, who the hell is Triple H or Stephanie McMahon to order any of us

00:00:53to have

00:00:53matches, right? Look at what the new McMahon-Helmsley era has done. Matt Hardy, one of the most talented

00:00:59young wrestlers in this company, just called from the hospital. Got a cracked cheekbone and a broken

00:01:04nose. You don't know when he'll wrestle. Test, you've got a broken nose of your own. Enough said,

00:01:10right? Mark Henry. Mark, is there any excuse for what happened to Mae Young on Monday night?

00:01:16You're damn right. There's no excuse for what happened to Mae Young. Then we've got this top-rope,

00:01:22topless match going on. To me, it's just a cheap excuse to see as much cleavage from Terry

00:01:27Ronalds and Beesley. All right. That one was pretty cool. But I think we're all in agreement that do any

00:01:38of us really need to see the Mean Street Posse seven times in a single evening. Hey, Pete, Rodney,

00:01:47no offense, but you guys should probably be cutting our lawns about this stage in your career, okay?

00:01:53Absolutely. So what I guess I'm saying is I feel pretty much the same way that probably a lot of

00:01:58you do, the same way Dee Snider probably felt all those years ago when he said, we're not going to

00:02:05take it. No, we're not going to take it. We're not going to take it.

00:02:10And he said, I'm right now.

00:02:13Well, I'd say, you've got a new era in wrestling.

00:02:19Wait, wait. Wait, we've got a guest here, a party crasher.

00:02:24Steph, I see that stern look on your face, but with all due respect to your parents and your brother

00:02:29Shane,

00:02:29what the hell are you doing at our meeting?

00:02:31What the hell am I doing here? What the hell are you doing here?

00:02:34And what the hell are all of you doing here?

00:02:36Well, I think it's called a mutiny, Stephanie.

00:02:38What is it? Some kind of mutiny?

00:02:38I think it's called a mutiny. You're damn right it is. We don't like the way things are going.

00:02:41We're not going to take it. What?

00:02:43Well, you know what? This happens to be my company. This is my family's company with all due respect

00:02:48to all of my family. So make, excuse me, please step aside. I need to explain a couple of things.

00:02:54I've only been in control for about two weeks and I've made some mistakes.

00:02:58Some mistakes. Yeah.

00:02:59My biggest mistake has been listening to Triple H. But that is no longer. This is no longer

00:03:05the McMahon-Helmsley era. This is the McMahon era. It's back to business. So first of all...

00:03:11And we are supposed to believe you, Tess?

00:03:12It doesn't matter. I don't care if you believe me or not. I'm going to prove it.

00:03:15How?

00:03:16Tess, tonight, you're going to take on the Road Dog.

00:03:19Alone?

00:03:20It's alone.

00:03:21They have a habit of... DX has a habit of kind of sticking together, don't they?

00:03:24Well, you're going to have to wait and see. The Rock is going to take on Al Snow.

00:03:28That's great, but we saw the match Monday and we got half the roster involved at the end

00:03:32of it.

00:03:32Well, it wasn't in a steel cage. Tonight's matchup is in a steel cage.

00:03:35Steel cage, okay. No interference, yeah.

00:03:38Hunter and I have taken out a lot of abuse on you.

00:03:41Including you slapping me, right?

00:03:43Yep. You called me a hoe. You deserved it.

00:03:45You're going to take on the big show tonight. Championship match.

00:03:51The match is not only for the World Wrestling Federation Championship, but just to prove that

00:03:55there is no allegiance between Hunter and I. He'll be suspended 15 feet above the ring

00:04:00in his own personal cell.

00:04:02Yeah.

00:04:04Yes.

00:04:05Yes.

00:04:05Mick Big Show, whatever's left of you guys, whoever's the champion, it doesn't matter.

00:04:11You can have at it with Hunter. And there will be five invitees, Tess, Edge and Christian,

00:04:16and the Hardy Boys. And whatever's left, you can pick up the scraps.

00:04:24Whoa.

00:04:24Wow.

00:04:25Wow.

00:04:37Wow.

00:04:38Wow.

00:04:39Ah, yeah, yeah.

00:04:43Wow.

00:04:49Wow.

00:05:10Well, you heard it, folks.

00:05:12The Rock is gentle to be down still in a cage.

00:05:15Mankind ready to take on the big show for the WWF title on the line.

00:05:19It's Triple H watching the match from a private cell.

00:05:23We welcome you to WWF SmackDown on UPN.

00:05:27Happy holidays, everybody.

00:05:28Michael Cole, Jerry the King Lawler at ringside.

00:05:31And King, can we believe Stephanie McMahon?

00:05:34Uh-oh, wait a minute.

00:05:36Look out, Michael.

00:05:38Watch it.

00:05:48He's the Intercontinental Champion, Y2J, Chris Jericho.

00:05:55Kicking off SmackDown from the SmackDown Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas.

00:06:00Well, I'm telling you, Michael, you're talking about the big matches that we're gonna have here on SmackDown tonight.

00:06:05But the most important thing is he almost had a music.

00:06:09I mean, Stephanie McMahon had to step into Queva to play the Uprising.

00:06:14Now that we're in the midst of the holiday season, Burl Ives tells us to have a holly jolly Christmas.

00:06:25Well, there ain't gonna be nothing jolly about Bob Holly's Christmas after he receives a Yuletide beating from the Ayatollah

00:06:36of Rock and Rolla.

00:06:40Because tonight, I'm gonna deck these halls with the goofballs of Holly.

00:06:48Ha-ha!

00:06:52Intercontinental Championship's on the line, Chris Jericho to defend against hardcore Holly.

00:06:58Well, I think Chris Jericho may have a future with Hallmark someday, could be the inside of a Christmas card.

00:07:03The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Championship.

00:07:10Introducing the challenger famous company by Crash from Mobile, Alabama.

00:07:15Weighing in at well over 400 pounds, Hardcore Holly.

00:07:21Well, King, well, you were off Gallaudet throughout Los Angeles at the movie premiere Monday night.

00:07:26Hardcore Holly defeated Val Venus to gain the shot of this Intercontinental Championship.

00:07:30This is a match which was made by Triple H on Raw on Monday night.

00:07:35Speaking of Triple H, I wonder how he's going to react to what we just heard, the bombshell drop by

00:07:41Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

00:07:43It'll be their first little spet.

00:07:46So it's Jericho against Hardcore Holly to kick things off on SmackDown, but folks, what a shocker.

00:07:51Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley has signed some huge matches tonight,

00:07:54and obviously, there's been some problems over the past couple of days between Stephanie and her husband, Triple H.

00:08:01Holly now off the ropes, Jericho with a leapfrog, and Jericho with a nice elbow,

00:08:05the Intercontinental Champion in early control here in this matchup.

00:08:08It's a shame to see Stephanie and Triple H having problems here at the holidays.

00:08:14Gotta be pretty serious though, Michael.

00:08:15Stephanie distancing herself from Triple H here as we kicked off SmackDown.

00:08:19Don't know quite what she's doing, King, but I have to admit, she signed some big matches here tonight.

00:08:24But can we believe Stephanie?

00:08:26I guess she has a chance to prove herself here tonight, especially in that big match,

00:08:30Mankind vs. The Big Show for the title, Triple H in a Cell above the ring.

00:08:34That is big, Michael, and you're right.

00:08:36What does Triple H think about that?

00:08:38I can't wait to find out.

00:08:40Hardcore Holly stomping away on the Intercontinental Champion, Chris Jericho.

00:08:44Also, Stephanie McMahon saying that Tess is going to take on the Road Dog tonight,

00:08:48promising no interference from the New Age Outlaws.

00:08:51And The Rock will take on Al Snow inside a steel cage.

00:08:55Boy, Tess looking for a lot of retribution there.

00:08:57He's still sporting that broken nose.

00:09:00Oh, Jericho with a forearm to face.

00:09:02There's another one to Hardcore Holly.

00:09:03Tremendous opportunity by a former Hardcore Champion, Hardcore Holly.

00:09:07With a rake of the eyes that time by Holly, and he's going to set Jericho up here.

00:09:11Holly, tremendous strength, shoving it with a suplex on Jericho.

00:09:18Stephanie McMahon admitting that she made some mistakes her first couple of weeks

00:09:21here in charge, quelling the attempted mutiny by Mankind and some other superstars

00:09:26here in the WWF.

00:09:28Hardcore Holly, top rope, Jericho counters.

00:09:30We know, Michael, it does take a big person to admit their mistakes,

00:09:33and Stephanie certainly seems sincere to me.

00:09:36I mean-

00:09:38Holly now, how can Jericho up the top rope?

00:09:40I just hope she doesn't regret it when Triple H finds out what she said to the guys.

00:09:44And look, Jericho counters boot to the face, and the Intercontinental Champion,

00:09:49title's on the line here, trying to take control as Crash Holly looks on

00:09:53at his fallen cousin Hardcore.

00:09:55And it's nice to see right here at Christmas time, the Holly cousins together.

00:09:59Can you imagine Christmas in that household?

00:10:01Holly whipped off the ropes, Jericho misses right hand,

00:10:04and delivers an elbow to the face of Hardcore Holly.

00:10:07Jericho is cooking here tonight on SmackDown.

00:10:10Sold out Reunion Arena in Dallas, and what a bombshell drop as we kicked off the show.

00:10:15Look at the cover now.

00:10:16Hooks the leg, Holly's got his leg on the bottom rope.

00:10:19Ooh, that was close.

00:10:21Smart move by Hardcore Holly.

00:10:25Watch Crash, what's he up to?

00:10:27Look at this, Hardcore hooked into the corner.

00:10:28Jericho, Bulldog, off the rope.

00:10:30Face first goes Hardcore, Holly into the center of the ring.

00:10:33And we've seen this before, baseball slide, Crash knocked down, and Hardcore takes advantage.

00:10:40Man, press is out.

00:10:40Okay, what's the relationship between Chyna and Chris Jericho?

00:10:43We've seen Chyna help Jericho win some matches in recent weeks, including Monday.

00:10:46Uh-oh, here we go.

00:10:47And look at this now, Y2J trying to get the wall to Jericho and Hardcore Holly,

00:10:52and Crash Holly from behind.

00:10:55And referee Mike Keona calls for the bell here, and look out, speaking of the devil.

00:11:00Look at this.

00:11:00Here comes the ninth winner of the world, Chyna, as the Hollies double-teamed Jericho.

00:11:04What do you mean speaking of the devil?

00:11:05She's not the devil.

00:11:07And Chyna now coming to Jericho's aid.

00:11:09I can't believe it.

00:11:10What is going on here?

00:11:12Look at that.

00:11:12Crash over the top rope.

00:11:15And again, King Chyna has come to the aid of Chris Jericho.

00:11:19Yeah.

00:11:20And now there's a cat down here in the ring saying, what is Chyna doing?

00:11:23I have no idea.

00:11:25But again, Chyna has come to the aid of the Intercontinental Champion.

00:11:30For what purpose?

00:11:31For what reason?

00:11:32I don't know, Michael.

00:11:35I don't understand this relationship.

00:11:37I mean, is there a relationship?

00:11:39What's going on?

00:11:40Did you see?

00:11:40Look at the look now on Y2J's face.

00:11:43He's as puzzled as we are, King.

00:11:45He doesn't have a clue what Chyna's doing.

00:11:47Uh-oh.

00:11:48Stephanie is no good.

00:11:50Yes.

00:11:50We've been telling you that.

00:11:51She's got me at a match with Tess tonight by myself.

00:11:54And there's no telling what she's got in store for me, let alone you 15 foot all by yourself in

00:12:00that cage.

00:12:00You should be going after the World Wrestling Federation title.

00:12:03You're married to the girl, ain't you?

00:12:05Yeah, well, marriage is marriage.

00:12:07This is business.

00:12:09Just let me think, okay?

00:12:11There's gotta be a way out of this.

00:12:12Just let me think about it.

00:12:13I gotta come up with something.

00:12:14Let me think.

00:12:16And now, the WWF Style of the Week, presented by the WWF Slam Cam.

00:12:21Put yourself in the action.

00:12:23King must win, or Tori must end the holidays with X-Pac.

00:12:28What?

00:12:29He's got to move.

00:12:30What?

00:12:30Look out.

00:12:31No!

00:12:33I've got King and he's broken in hand.

00:12:35It's not set.

00:12:36There's a cover.

00:12:38It falls anywhere.

00:12:39And the Big Show retains the title.

00:12:41And Tori spends Christmas with X-Pac.

00:12:44That was the WWF Slam of the Week, presented by the WWF Slam Cam.

00:12:49Put yourself in the action.

00:12:51Well, King, the bottom line is, is Kane had to beat the Big Show.

00:12:54He didn't get the job done and Tori spending the holidays with X-Pac.

00:12:57Oh, my gosh.

00:12:58She could really be having some happy holidays.

00:13:00Now I realize why X-Pac was wearing that mistletoe belt buckle.

00:13:05Oh, this is gonna be something.

00:13:06Happy holidays for Tori.

00:13:08How in the world can you say that?

00:13:09Well, I'm just telling you, it could be really something.

00:13:12Hey!

00:13:14I want to help you.

00:13:16But I need you to help me.

00:13:18Monday night, you can have X-Pac in any type of match that you want.

00:13:23You can have any member of DX for that matter.

00:13:25But I've gotta make it to Monday night.

00:13:27I know DX is gonna come after me.

00:13:29I know Hunter's gonna come after me.

00:13:31I need you to stay by my side.

00:13:33I need you to be here to protect me.

00:13:35I mean, I know what you must be going through.

00:13:38God only knows what that degenerate X-Pac has been doing to Tori.

00:13:44I mean, I can just imagine.

00:13:46It must be violating her very being.

00:13:49I mean, her skin must be crawling every time X-Pac even goes near her, touches her,

00:13:56gropes her, whispers in her ear.

00:13:59Whoa!

00:14:00I can only imagine it.

00:14:02But, Cain, I need you to help me tonight.

00:14:05And then you can have X-Pac.

00:14:07Will you do it?

00:14:10Okay, Stephanie's recruited Cain to help protect her from Triple H and DX here tonight.

00:14:16Probably a wise move.

00:14:18What a recruitment speech.

00:14:19Wow.

00:14:21Speaking of wow.

00:14:22The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:14:25Making his weight in the ring, weighing in at 424 pounds, Rakishi Batuu.

00:14:33Okay, you know, I have to admit, I'm a bit skeptical of Stephanie's actions here tonight.

00:14:36I mean, she hasn't been a calm, gentle leader recently.

00:14:40But she has signed some pretty big matches here tonight.

00:14:43And it looks like-

00:14:44Yeah, hey.

00:14:47There's that-

00:14:49That orange lighting and that weird symbol on the Omeltron.

00:14:52Look at your face.

00:14:53You're orange.

00:14:54No, you are too.

00:14:55This is odd.

00:14:57Everything in here is orange.

00:14:58Somebody or something trying to make a statement, but-

00:15:00Even the moose, the moose in your hair is orange.

00:15:02It's Mankind versus the Big Show title on the line.

00:15:05You're also gonna see The Rock and Al Snow inside a steel cage and testing the Road Dog one-on

00:15:10-one.

00:15:13So it's Rakishi Batuu against this man.

00:15:15New agent at 496 pounds, Viscera.

00:15:21Well, King Rakishi has a huge score to settle with Viscera from what happened in Armageddon earlier this month.

00:15:26It was Viscera and Rakishi against the Hollies.

00:15:29Yeah, and things didn't go exactly right for the huge tag team.

00:15:33You saw Viscera causing Rakishi to lose that, and then things went downhill from there.

00:15:39Yeah, Rakishi followed with that big kick to the face of Viscera.

00:15:43And these two behemoths battled it out at Armageddon, and here we go,

00:15:47wasting a little time on SmackDown.

00:15:49Viscera, 500 pounds.

00:15:50Rakishi, well over 400.

00:15:52That's nearly 1,000 pounds of meat in that ring.

00:15:55And these guys, these guys have picked up right where they left off.

00:15:58And look at Viscera now with those huge right hands to the back of Rakishi, who battles back now.

00:16:03Oh my gosh.

00:16:03And look out.

00:16:04They're coming.

00:16:06Oh no, please.

00:16:06Again, into the announce table goes Rakishi.

00:16:09This table's not made to withstand those.

00:16:10And Viscera with an aggressive attack on Rakishi here in the early going.

00:16:16Man, oh man.

00:16:19Rakishi flying through the air.

00:16:21Viscera knocks him down, and Viscera with the upper hand early on.

00:16:25Look out now, 500 pounds.

00:16:28Oh, what a splash on Rakishi.

00:16:31Viscera didn't want the cover there.

00:16:33He wants to punish him, I think.

00:16:35He wants to give him some more of the same.

00:16:37Oh no!

00:16:38Missed that time, went to the well, once two off, the big 747 grounded.

00:16:42And Rakishi now battles back.

00:16:44The right hands from Rakishi for two.

00:16:46These two guys in the ring is like having a two-man battle royal.

00:16:49Viscera whipped into the corner.

00:16:51And look out now, Rakishi.

00:16:53Oh my, can you imagine King the Impact?

00:16:57I don't wanna imagine that.

00:16:58And Viscera out of the corner now, look at Rakishi.

00:17:00No!

00:17:01Viscera countered, too much weight.

00:17:03And Rakishi kicks out after two.

00:17:05Viscera thought he had him.

00:17:07Gonna be a collision tonight in the Big Show, the WWF Champion meets Mankind.

00:17:12Look at these two guys.

00:17:13These two guys are what a cannibal would love to get for Christmas.

00:17:15And what did Stephanie McMahon mean when she said the Hardy's Edge and Christian and Tess

00:17:19will be there to pick up the scraps of Triple H?

00:17:22What a kick by Rakishi.

00:17:23I don't know, but it doesn't sound too good.

00:17:26This doesn't look too good.

00:17:29Rakishi from the second rope.

00:17:35Rakishi defeats Viscera.

00:17:37Man.

00:17:39Here is your winner, Rakishi.

00:17:43Five, two.

00:17:44And check it out, King.

00:17:46This rivalry is far from over, but the folks just beginning.

00:17:50Check it out, it's too cool.

00:17:52This is cool.

00:17:54Scotty in a Santa hat and Grandmaster Sexy trying to coax Rikishi to do some dancing.

00:18:02Look, these guys are like, uh-oh, wait a minute.

00:18:04Don't let him get away.

00:18:07These guys are more welcome than the big fat man in the red suit.

00:18:10They are on their feet in Reunion Arena.

00:18:15Come on, let's get down.

00:18:18Boy, he could never get down to Chimney, could he?

00:18:20Oh, I needed the sunglasses, that's what it was.

00:18:22Oh, okay.

00:18:23Oh, here we go.

00:18:26Get jigging with it.

00:18:27Look.

00:18:31Rikishi is too cool.

00:18:32I love jigging.

00:18:34This is the, oh.

00:18:36That's a new one.

00:18:37They've been working on it.

00:18:39Look at it.

00:18:40Homeography.

00:18:40Look at this.

00:18:41The phenipede from Scotty 2 Hotties.

00:18:43And what are we getting from Rikishi?

00:18:45The double, I don't know what, something.

00:18:54Rikishi with a win over Mithra.

00:18:57Hey.

00:18:57I still don't know what to say.

00:18:58This is really awkward for me right now.

00:19:00Well, you know what?

00:19:01It's awkward for me, too.

00:19:02You know, I don't know what you're up to tonight.

00:19:04I don't know what you said.

00:19:06I don't know if I'm buying any of it.

00:19:08You know what?

00:19:08It really doesn't matter if you're buying any of it or not,

00:19:10because this is my company.

00:19:12I thought I covered everything in the meeting.

00:19:13Maybe you'll buy it when DX doesn't interfere in your match tonight.

00:19:17You're next.

00:19:18We'll find her.

00:19:20Tested Road Dogg next.

00:19:23Reunion Arena in Dallas is sold out.

00:19:26Stephanie McMahon Helmsley is running things solo.

00:19:29She signed The Rock to meet Al Snow inside a steel cage here on SmackDown.

00:19:34Wow.

00:19:34Right now, standing by our new broadcast colleague,

00:19:37Jonathan Coachman, the coach with the people's champ, The Rock.

00:19:41You know, Rock, after what happened to you on Monday night,

00:19:44you have to have retribution.

00:19:58Finally, The Rock has come back to death.

00:20:08As we look back on the millennium and some of the greatest days that have taken place.

00:20:14The day Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity with his kite.

00:20:18The day Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon.

00:20:22And the day The Rock turned his head and raised the people's eyebrow.

00:20:31Thus, declaring The Rock now and forever the people's champion.

00:20:41And as we look back on some of the worst days, on that fateful dreaded night.

00:20:46The night Mrs. Snow gave birth to Al Snow.

00:20:49One of the biggest pieces of monkey crap walking God's green earth.

00:20:57Al Snow, The Rock says this.

00:21:00It took not one, not two, but three jabronis to beat The Rock last Monday on Raw.

00:21:05But The Rock says that's okay.

00:21:07Tonight's a different night and a different show.

00:21:09This is SmackDown, The Rock's show.

00:21:33The Rock says he's gonna do to you exactly what he does best inside of a 15-foot steel cage.

00:21:41The people's cage.

00:21:43The Rock says he's gonna lay it to smack it down on your candy ass.

00:21:49And The Rock says he will deliver the most electrifying move in sports entertainment.

00:21:55The people's elbow.

00:21:57One, two, three.

00:22:00One, two, three.

00:22:01One, two, three.

00:22:02One, two, three.

00:22:02Merry Christmas, Jabroni.

00:22:08If you smell out what The Rock is cooking.

00:22:18One, two, three.

00:22:24One, two, three.

00:22:29One, three.

00:22:30If you didn't know, you asked for the call, somebody.

00:22:40Okay, get ready for an emotionally charged matchup.

00:22:44Yeah.

00:22:44Here is one of the men directly responsible.

00:22:47Dallas, Texas, you damn right.

00:22:50For breaking test, no.

00:22:52Let's take you back to SmackDown this past Thursday night.

00:22:56Stephanie McMahon, Maureen Tess to the top of the stage.

00:22:59It was an ambush, an attack by DX, and they broke Tess Nose for a third time.

00:23:06Boy, I'm telling you something, look at this, they were all over him.

00:23:09The entire group of DX, and look, they measured off that nose, and bang.

00:23:14Once again, nose broken.

00:23:16Well, apparently that was a happier time for Stephanie McMahon, Helmpley, Triple H, and DX.

00:23:21Stephanie's running things so low here tonight.

00:23:25Dallas, Texas, welcome to the doghouse.

00:23:37Ladies and gentlemen, boys and

00:23:38girls, children of all ages, D-Generation X proudly brings to you one half of its WWF.

00:23:45Tag Team Champions of the world, the Road Dog, Jesse James.

00:23:52And I represent the new HL Wolf.

00:23:59People seem to be down with that.

00:24:03Well, this is a match that's been set up by Stephanie McMahon,

00:24:07and it's a shocker, and Stephanie promised no interference in this one.

00:24:12So this is an opportunity for Stephanie to cure some doubting Thomases.

00:24:17She promised no interference, let's see what happens.

00:24:20Michael, if he's too emotional here, he'll hit, look.

00:24:23That was a smart move, though, by the Road Dog.

00:24:25Oh, man!

00:24:26Woo!

00:24:27And here we go now, Test and the Road Dog.

00:24:29Test is emotionally charged.

00:24:31He's been an emotional wreck in recent weeks.

00:24:33What a sidewalk slam by Test.

00:24:35Of course, you see the protective covering on his nose.

00:24:38This past Monday Night on Raw, Test forced into a handicap match against the New Age Outlaws.

00:24:43The Outlaws ripped that protective covering off, and Billy Goff delivered the famouser to Test,

00:24:48his nose first into the mat.

00:24:49Yeah, okay, Test is emotionally charged.

00:24:51What would you be, Michael, if you'd had your nose spread all over your face?

00:24:54Not once, not twice, but now three times.

00:24:56And how would you act, King, if you were gonna marry Stephanie McMahon just a short month ago,

00:25:01only to have that be this huge trick, this dirty ruse we found out about in recent weeks?

00:25:06That's why I say this is-

00:25:07Oh!

00:25:08You're right, this is a very emotional young man.

00:25:10He needs to calm down.

00:25:11He needs to stay focused on the business at hand.

00:25:14If he doesn't, he's gonna get himself hurt a lot worse than a broken nose.

00:25:17Well, the Road Dogg needed a way through the storm.

00:25:19Oh, look at that!

00:25:19Oh, my!

00:25:20White hand right to the nose, that protective covering of Test.

00:25:24And look at this now.

00:25:26Road Dogg tossing Test back into the ring, and Road Dogg's in control.

00:25:30You can't go out there.

00:25:31Hey, hey.

00:25:31I'm telling you, I haven't figured this thing out yet, all right?

00:25:33So let's just wait.

00:25:35Let's just see how the dog can handle himself.

00:25:38Right?

00:25:39Let me figure it out.

00:25:40Well, Triple H and Billy Gunn, Road Dogg's partner, looking on.

00:25:43And Triple H sounds like he's trying to figure out what's going on with his wife, Stephanie

00:25:48McMahon Helmsley.

00:25:49Well, Triple H is a bit of a quandary, but I can assure you one thing.

00:25:52Oh, did you see that?

00:25:53What a boot bike test to the nose of the Road Dogg.

00:25:56Just let me say this, Triple H will come up with something.

00:25:59He's got too devious of a mind.

00:26:02He'll devise a plan, Michael.

00:26:03Well, Mankind and company earlier on tonight threatened a mutiny.

00:26:06Stephanie McMahon Helmsley admitted that she made some mistakes in recent weeks.

00:26:11In one of those mistakes, the biggest was listening to her husband, Triple H.

00:26:15She's trying to make amends here tonight on SmackDown and

00:26:18she booked this match between Tess and the Road Dogg.

00:26:20Look out, what a maneuver by Tess, Road Dogg's in trouble.

00:26:24Man, what a power bump.

00:26:25Uh-oh, look out.

00:26:26Hey, look at Road Dogg now, whipped off the rope by Tess, missing the left hand.

00:26:30And Road Dogg will go left to the face of Tess.

00:26:32He's reeling, he's rocking, rocking around the Christmas tree.

00:26:37Uh-oh, misses and Tess with a right hand of his own.

00:26:39Hey, he loves that protective mask.

00:26:42He just used that protective mask, King.

00:26:44And Tess down, giving Road Dogg a little of his own medicine.

00:26:50Look out.

00:26:51And look out now, Road Dogg in trouble, center of the ring.

00:26:54Tess climbing the ropes.

00:26:56He's not gonna deliver an elbow from there.

00:26:58Road Dogg's halfway across the ring.

00:27:00Look out.

00:27:01He got it, Tess got him.

00:27:03Hook the leg, it's over.

00:27:07Here is your winner, Tess.

00:27:11As Stephanie McMahon healthily promised- Look at this, look at this.

00:27:15And on this night, Tess was a better man over the Road Dogg.

00:27:19Hey, what's happening now?

00:27:20And here's all that pent of frustration, that emotion, a steel chair for Tess.

00:27:25He's reached a boiling point, and the Road Dogg hightailing it.

00:27:29It was like a shot of adrenaline by Tess.

00:27:32Tess needed this win emotionally, and he's still gonna work on the Road Dogg.

00:27:37And King may be Tess a believer in Stephanie now, but Stephanie still has a lot more to prove here

00:27:42tonight to a bunch more WWF superstars.

00:27:46There's a long way to go in SmackDown and plenty to prove.

00:27:49That's just too much.

00:27:50I can't take this.

00:27:51Come on, man.

00:27:52Let's go right now.

00:27:53We're gonna have a little confrontation with Mrs. Hemsley McMahon.

00:27:57Oh, no.

00:27:58Oh, no.

00:27:59Look out!

00:28:02I wonder who that could be.

00:28:04Come in!

00:28:07Oh, it's my husband.

00:28:08Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

00:28:10Cain, I'll keep my end of the bargain.

00:28:12You get X-Pac on Monday, but you keep yours.

00:28:15Tonight, you can face Billy.

00:28:17You can have Billy, okay?

00:28:18What?

00:28:19Come on!

00:28:20Tags, Jams!

00:28:21Tag!

00:28:23Just let me talk, all right?

00:28:24Let me talk.

00:28:25I'll take care of this.

00:28:26Yeah, come on.

00:28:26Talk to me, honey.

00:28:28Talk to me.

00:28:28Come on.

00:28:29Come here, come here, come here.

00:28:30Sit.

00:28:30Sit with me.

00:28:31Please.

00:28:32Just sit with me, all right?

00:28:34Here.

00:28:35Listen.

00:28:36You don't need to go here, all right?

00:28:38I don't need to be put in a cage and hung above the ring 15 feet.

00:28:43All right?

00:28:43Okay, I might have made some mistakes.

00:28:45I pushed the boys too hard.

00:28:46All right?

00:28:47I pushed the envelope a little too far.

00:28:48But that's what you do when you have power.

00:28:50You can't put me in a cage, lower me down, and let seven guys eat me alive.

00:28:54Let me just say something first, okay?

00:28:57This isn't personal.

00:28:58Our personal life is great.

00:28:59I mean, the sex with you is great.

00:29:04But this is business, okay?

00:29:06This is no longer the McMahon-Helmsley era.

00:29:08This is the McMahon era.

00:29:10And you're gonna have to deal with that.

00:29:12You cannot put me in a cage and let seven guys, including Big Show and Mick Foley, eat me alive.

00:29:22You're right.

00:29:22Maybe there's nothing I can do about it, but...

00:29:26Where are you going?

00:29:26Don't walk away from me.

00:29:27I'm not done talking to you.

00:29:29I'll be right back.

00:29:34Come on, guys.

00:29:35Please.

00:29:36Cops?

00:29:37Maybe they can.

00:29:38Cops?

00:29:39You mean cops?

00:29:42They're gonna insure.

00:29:43Listen, I am not doing this.

00:29:44I am not getting in a cage.

00:29:45I am not getting put above the ring.

00:29:47Oh, you're not?

00:29:48Well, they're gonna make sure that you do.

00:29:49I'm not leaving this room.

00:29:51Secondly, do you go to your locker room and sit there and wait.

00:29:54But they're gonna make sure that you get into that personal cell and that you are suspended 15 feet above

00:30:00the ring.

00:30:00I am not doing anything.

00:30:02Gentlemen.

00:30:02I am your husband and I...

00:30:03Thank you so much.

00:30:05I am your husband.

00:30:08I'm supposed to be out there, sweetie.

00:30:09I am your husband.

00:30:10You can't do it.

00:30:11Bye.

00:30:12Look.

00:30:12Well, King, we know their personal life is fine according to Stephanie, but obviously business-wise they're not seeing eye

00:30:18to eye.

00:30:18I knew the spirits wasn't gonna work out.

00:30:22Touring contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:30:25Making his way to the ring from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

00:30:28Weighing the net 237 pounds.

00:30:31He's the only Olympic gold medalist against a World Wrestling Federation ring and the most celebrated real athlete in the

00:30:39WWF, Kurt Engel.

00:30:42Well, he's undefeated here in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:30:47Would you people please, please hold your applause, please.

00:30:53What a gesture.

00:30:54Now, I-

00:30:59This guy's bigger than Troy Eggman, bigger than Brett Hulton.

00:31:01He doesn't even seek the adulation.

00:31:03I always love coming down to the great state of Texas for two reasons.

00:31:09This state is known for its intensity, and obviously, this state is known for its integrity.

00:31:19Well, except for the Cowboys.

00:31:23But unfortunately, the people of this great state aren't the smartest people in the world.

00:31:29Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:31:33That doesn't necessarily mean the people here in Dallas.

00:31:41But if you work hard enough, maybe someday this state could be known for its intelligence. It could.

00:31:52I'm sure they'll take that to heart here in Dallas.

00:32:01And his opponent from Toronto, Canada, weighing in at 240 pounds.

00:32:08And-

00:32:08So it's Edge against Kurt Engel and King Edge is looking forward to his trip to the Carolinas this weekend.

00:32:13Big WWF live event in Charlotte on Sunday, the day after Christmas.

00:32:17I'll be there.

00:32:18And Raw's floor comes to Greensboro on Monday night.

00:32:21Good seats still available, make great Christmas gifts.

00:32:24As Edge gets sent to go to work on Kurt Angle, and here's a guy, and look out now.

00:32:29Edge hammering away on Kurt Angle.

00:32:31Here's a guy who's really felt the wrath of the, well, the former, I guess, McMahon-Helmsley era.

00:32:36Well, I'll tell you one thing.

00:32:37Look out, Edge.

00:32:37That's no way to treat an Olympic gold medalist.

00:32:39Edge has been forced in recent weeks to battle in a cage, to fight his brother Christian,

00:32:44to team against his brother Christian.

00:32:47And look at this now, nice arm drag takedown by Edge.

00:32:51Hip toss as well.

00:32:52Speaking of cages, I mean, Stephanie was pretty emphatic.

00:32:55I mean, Triple H is gonna have to be put in a cage and suspended above the ring here tonight.

00:33:00And Edge will be one of those, one of the invited guests, as Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley calls them,

00:33:05who are gonna be able to pick up the scraps in her words.

00:33:09And look at the belly-to-belly of Kurt Angle to pick up the scraps of Triple H, whatever that

00:33:13means.

00:33:14Edge was involved in a big tag match on Monday night.

00:33:17Edge and Matt Hardy against Jeff Hardy and Christian, which Matt Hardy had his nose broken.

00:33:22I'll tell you what Stephanie's actions mean.

00:33:24It means that things are just not going.

00:33:25Look out, now cover, King.

00:33:26Hook of the leg and a kick out.

00:33:27Things are not going well in their marriage.

00:33:29I knew it wouldn't.

00:33:30She's an Earth sign and Hunter's a water sign.

00:33:32Together they make mud.

00:33:33This thing has just gone sour.

00:33:36King, I still have to question, though, why the sudden change of heart by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

00:33:41I'm still a little skeptical.

00:33:43I mean, she's put a lot of people through the ringer as of late, including this man, Edge.

00:33:48Look at the elbows.

00:33:50Ooh.

00:33:51Side-rushing leg sweep.

00:33:52That's a real complex relationship.

00:33:54I can't figure it out for the life of me.

00:33:56Well, Triple H, we know, has been escorted, so to speak, back to his locker room by armed security.

00:34:02Escorted.

00:34:03And Stephanie has, I guess, hired a cane for the evening to protect her from Degeneration X.

00:34:11And look at Edge now.

00:34:12Great counter on the undefeated Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle.

00:34:15And Edge looking to put a blemish on Kurt Angle's unbeaten streak.

00:34:19And Edge misses off the top rope, but he lands on his feet.

00:34:22Angle didn't realize it.

00:34:24Kick to the midsection.

00:34:26DDT by Edge.

00:34:27Floats into the cover.

00:34:28Hooks the leg.

00:34:29Could be in here.

00:34:30Almost had him, and Angle got the shoulder up.

00:34:33You know, one of the big matches signed tonight by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

00:34:36Coming up next, Kang.

00:34:37The Rock, Al Snow, inside a steel cage.

00:34:41I'll tell you, this place will go crazy when The Rock comes under.

00:34:44Look at Al.

00:34:44Somebody home.

00:34:45Slide by Edge.

00:34:46Angle's gonna pay for it.

00:34:48And the Olympic gold medalist should be wearing a gold coat.

00:34:52Into the steel post goes Angle.

00:34:56There may not be any more little Olympians in the future.

00:34:59Edge putting on a clinic here for Angle, who's upset with the referee.

00:35:04Watch for the spear.

00:35:05And here it comes.

00:35:06Look out.

00:35:06Edge missed with the spear, almost hit the referee.

00:35:08Angle dropped kick from behind, right into referee Teddy Long.

00:35:13And the referee's been knocked down.

00:35:15Come on, Kurt.

00:35:15King, look out, look at King.

00:35:17What?

00:35:17We got company.

00:35:19Uh-oh, look out.

00:35:19Steve Blackman, sometimes partner, sometimes rival of Kurt Angle has a kendo stick in hand.

00:35:25And Blackman just clocked Edge with a kendo stick, reminiscent of what happened on Raw Monday night.

00:35:32And Angle counters.

00:35:33Who was trying, who was Blackman trying to hit?

00:35:35I couldn't tell.

00:35:36Hooks the leg.

00:35:38Yes.

00:35:38And Angle remains undefeated.

00:35:40Well, Monday night on Raw was apparent that Steve Blackman wanted to hit Viscera to help Angle pick up the

00:35:48win.

00:35:48But tonight, Blackman clocked Edge, and what in the world's going on?

00:35:53I'm not sure, but that kendo stick could have been meant for Kurt Angle, too.

00:35:57Is this the second time this week that Blackman's helped Angle?

00:36:00Hey, watch. Let's see if we can see what's at.

00:36:02Watch this.

00:36:04While Angle ducking out of the way, kendo stick to the face of Edge.

00:36:09Is this the second time this week that Blackman's helped Angle?

00:36:13What the hell do you think you're doing interfering in Kurt Angle's match?

00:36:16You told me last Monday.

00:36:19Listen, don't you point at me, all right?

00:36:21I told you last Monday.

00:36:22Tonight's Thursday.

00:36:23You stay out of Kurt Angle's business.

00:36:25It's my business.

00:36:26Stay out of it.

00:36:28Well, is Stephanie turning over a new lead?

00:36:31Well, she has a chance to prove it to The Rock.

00:36:33Next, The Rock meets Al Snow in a cage.

00:36:40I am just not getting this.

00:36:43I mean, Monday night, I beat The Rock in his own match.

00:36:47A Brahma bull rope match.

00:36:48I embarrassed him.

00:36:49I beat him fair and square.

00:36:50One, two, three.

00:36:52That is an event that is worthy of number one contendership.

00:36:55I should be facing the WWF champion, but I'm not.

00:37:01I'm facing The Rock again tonight in a cage match.

00:37:04And Mick is facing the WWF champion.

00:37:07I mean, why is Mick facing the WWF champion and not me?

00:37:11I don't get it.

00:37:13Are there some politics going on here?

00:37:15I think there are politics in everything, Alan.

00:37:17You can start by lowering your voice.

00:37:18You don't need to yell at me.

00:37:19You don't demand anything from me.

00:37:21I'll give you a title shot on Monday if you defeat The Rock tonight in the steel cage.

00:37:26I guarantee you, I'll beat The Rock.

00:37:29I won't just beat him.

00:37:31I'll cripple him.

00:37:32I'll break whatever I need to break.

00:37:34Great.

00:37:34Then I'll move on to Mick.

00:37:35Great.

00:37:36And after I move on to Mick, I'll move on to the WWF champion.

00:37:38Go do it.

00:37:38Go do it, Al.

00:37:39Thank you, Mrs. Homsley.

00:37:41Whoa.

00:37:42Well, so King, if Al Snow wins his steel cage match against The Rock,

00:37:46he gets a title shot.

00:37:47Well, let's just show you what happened on Monday night on Raw.

00:37:50It was Rock versus Al Snow in a Brahma bull rope match.

00:37:53Yeah.

00:37:54The Rock's specialty, and The Rock was cooking.

00:37:56Well, Rock had things well in hand until DX showed up.

00:38:00The New Age Outlaws, but The Rock took care of those guys.

00:38:04Yeah, The Rock battling the Outlaws as well.

00:38:06It was really a play on one situation, but The People's Champion was going for

00:38:10The People's Elbow and the win over Al Snow.

00:38:12He was ready to lay the smack down, but the smack got laid onto the back of The Rock,

00:38:17courtesy of the New Age Outlaws.

00:38:19But-

00:38:20Of course, there's no Rock giving in.

00:38:23And The Rock delivering the rock bottom to the Road Dog.

00:38:26But Billy Gunn coming in from out of nowhere, delivering the Famouser to The Rock.

00:38:31And because of Billy Gunn's Famouser, Al Snow picked up a huge win over The People's Champion.

00:38:39I don't even know how Al Snow could claim a victory like that.

00:38:42Well, he says he won fair and square.

00:38:44My God.

00:38:45It's a steel cage match.

00:38:48Making it right away from Ronlo, Ohio.

00:38:51Weighing in at 246 pounds, Al Snow.

00:38:57Al Snow thinks that was a real victory over The Rock?

00:38:59You just heard him say that to Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, who of course being protected

00:39:03by Kane because of a threat of D-Generation X here tonight on SmackDown.

00:39:07Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley signing the matches, claiming that yeah, she made some mistakes.

00:39:11The biggest was listening to her husband, Triple H.

00:39:15So tonight, she's trying to get some superstars who've been wronged in the past couple of weeks.

00:39:19Well, some right here tonight on SmackDown.

00:39:22A little early Christmas present, a little holiday goodwill.

00:39:26But Kane, can we buy into all this?

00:39:28I mean, I understand what Stephanie's done here tonight, but she still has a lot to prove,

00:39:32not only to me, but to other superstars.

00:39:35If this man of the Rock is cool.

00:39:40Listen to this!

00:39:42And his opponent,

00:39:44the Irish Lord,

00:39:46we're at 275 pounds.

00:39:49Look out now, Al Snow and The Rock.

00:39:51Al wasted little time to go after the People's Champ on the ramp.

00:39:55And here we go, King Al Snow!

00:39:57K-Steel first in this one.

00:39:59I told you he wouldn't do, Brett!

00:40:01Al Snow can beat The Rock somehow in the Steel Cage match.

00:40:04He gets a title shot on Wall Monday night.

00:40:06But The Rock is cooking into the barricade.

00:40:08The People's Champ puts Al Snow.

00:40:11This match hasn't even officially started yet.

00:40:13It's a Steel Cage match.

00:40:15Both men have got to be inside that cage.

00:40:18And Al Snow, here's The Rock now with the counter.

00:40:21One hand, Al Snow's facing another one again.

00:40:24And look out, King.

00:40:25Al Snow in the barricade.

00:40:30Rock with a chair, misses as he hits the cage.

00:40:33And Al Snow counters, kick to the midsection.

00:40:35Rock goes face first into the cage.

00:40:37Al Snow with a chair as well and he misses.

00:40:40That could have decapitated The Rock.

00:40:43There he goes, Al Snow's in the cage.

00:40:45And look at this!

00:40:47Well, The Rock's going in as well and he's bringing the chair with him.

00:40:50A little stubbing stubber for Al there.

00:40:52And the match has officially started, folks.

00:40:54There's a couple of ways to win this Steel Cage match.

00:40:56You can win by pinfall, you can win by submission,

00:40:59or you can win by escaping the cage either over the top or through the door.

00:41:04And both feet must touch the floor.

00:41:07And Rock stomping away now on Al Snow.

00:41:10Revenge on the mind of the Brahma Bull.

00:41:13The Rock, the People's Champ.

00:41:16You saw the interference by the Outlaws on Raw Monday Night King.

00:41:19Guarantee you there won't be any in this one.

00:41:21Steel Cage surrounding the ring.

00:41:24Well, Stephanie McMahon put this match together.

00:41:27I'm sure much to the delight of The Rock.

00:41:31But Al Snow promised Stephanie that somehow, some way he'd win this match.

00:41:35Sellout crowd at Reunion Arena and Dallas looks on.

00:41:38Al Snow now trying to get out of the cage.

00:41:40Title shot on the line for Al.

00:41:41He'll meet the champion on Raw if he can get out.

00:41:43But The Rock counters.

00:41:45And Al Snow trying desperately to hang out of the top of the cage and he won't.

00:41:50And here comes The Rock unloading with his big right hands.

00:41:53Uh-oh.

00:41:54And a Smack for good measure.

00:41:56Smack is laid down on SmackDown by The Rock.

00:41:59I think the Smack's being laid down by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley here tonight.

00:42:05And look out, Al Snow telegraphed Rock counter with a swinging neck breaker.

00:42:08And Al Snow's head, the back of it bouncing off the mat.

00:42:11And now Al's gonna go for the steel chair.

00:42:13Uh-oh.

00:42:14No disqualifications in this match.

00:42:16Pinfall submission or out of the cage and you win it.

00:42:18You got The Rock with the chair.

00:42:21Chair to the gut, Al Snow wobbling.

00:42:23Gonna climb the ropes again as he attempts to get out of this steel cage.

00:42:27A title shot riding on it.

00:42:30If Al Snow can get out.

00:42:31And again, The Rock makes the save.

00:42:35Well, not quite.

00:42:36Al's still teetering.

00:42:38Can The Rock pull him in?

00:42:39And he does.

00:42:40And the People's Champion, Al Snow now.

00:42:43Top bow.

00:42:44Elbow to the face of The Rock.

00:42:45Al Snow close to getting out of this cage.

00:42:48Close to getting the title shot he desperately thinks he deserves.

00:42:52Taking way too much time here.

00:42:54He's got a crazed look in his eyes, King.

00:42:56No kidding.

00:42:57And he misses.

00:42:58No!

00:42:59Rock counters.

00:42:59Plants it with a DDT.

00:43:02That's it.

00:43:03And The Rock rolls into the cover now.

00:43:05Keep in mind, Pinfall will win this.

00:43:08Referee into the ring.

00:43:09There's two, almost three.

00:43:10And Al Snow gets his shoulder up.

00:43:12Come on, ref.

00:43:13What took you so long to get in the ring?

00:43:16Does the ref have to stay out of the cage?

00:43:18Can't he stay in the cage?

00:43:20Referee needs to be outside the cage, King.

00:43:22In case one of these superstars tries to go over the top and touch the floor.

00:43:25He needed to be inside there.

00:43:27Rock would've won this thing by now.

00:43:28He also has to work the door in case the superstar wants to go out the door.

00:43:31And The Rock's gonna try to go over the top now.

00:43:34The People's Champ trying to get out of this cage and end this match against Al Snow.

00:43:38And Al Snow counters.

00:43:40And look out.

00:43:41Oh.

00:43:43Hung up on the top rope.

00:43:45Steel chair to the forehead of The Rock.

00:43:48And The Rock may be out cold, King.

00:43:50And Al Snow, if he can pick up a cover here, is gonna get a title shot.

00:43:53Can you believe it?

00:43:55Hooks the leg.

00:43:56I can't believe it.

00:43:57Referee into the ring.

00:43:58Here we go now.

00:43:59Al Snow may face the champion, and no.

00:44:01The Rock gets a shoulder up again.

00:44:03And King again, this match was set up by Stephanie.

00:44:07Apparently a Christmas gift for The Rock.

00:44:09And so far tonight, Stephanie has been making good on her promises.

00:44:14She's probably got some people believing in her now.

00:44:16And she has the opportunity to prove some things to Kane later on tonight.

00:44:20Kane set to take on BA Billy Gunn.

00:44:22And Mankind gets a title shot against the Big Show.

00:44:26Look out.

00:44:27Look out now.

00:44:30Al Snow is close to getting out of that cage.

00:44:32He is close.

00:44:33Al Snow teetering on the top of the cage.

00:44:35Rock, he's out.

00:44:36The Rock to his feet.

00:44:37Can Al Snow get down?

00:44:38His hair.

00:44:39The Rock's got Al Snow by the hair.

00:44:41How'd you know that?

00:44:42The only thing left to grab.

00:44:44And look at this now.

00:44:45Al Snow with right hands to The People's Champ.

00:44:46Al Snow is teetering.

00:44:48The Rock's got Al Snow by his hair.

00:44:50Look at the strength of The People's Champ.

00:44:51He's trying to bring Al Snow back into the ring.

00:44:53Al Snow on top of the cage.

00:44:55Pull.

00:44:56Pull it out by the roots if you have to, Rock.

00:44:58Al Snow's back in the cage.

00:45:00And The Rock now setting him up top.

00:45:02Go.

00:45:02Face first.

00:45:05Again.

00:45:06A third time.

00:45:09No.

00:45:10No, not this.

00:45:11Look out.

00:45:11Suplex top rope.

00:45:12Plants Al Snow.

00:45:14He folded him up like an accordion.

00:45:16And that fall took a lot out of The Rock as well, Kang.

00:45:20Which one of these superstars has anything left?

00:45:25Pinfall submission or out of the cage and you win this one.

00:45:27Another look, Kang, at this tremendous suplex by The Rock.

00:45:31Once the back of Snow's head hit that man hard.

00:45:34The impact thundering throughout the reunion arena.

00:45:38The Rock to his feet.

00:45:39Al Snow to his feet.

00:45:40And The Rock now with a right hand.

00:45:42And another one.

00:45:44And a rake of the eyes by Al Snow.

00:45:46Again, no disqualification in this one, folks.

00:45:48One, two, three.

00:45:50Al Snow hammering away.

00:45:52Black hands to The Rock.

00:45:55Al Snow is nuts.

00:45:57No kidding.

00:45:57He's been extremely jealous of The Rock ever since The Rock and Sock connection was formed.

00:46:02Al Snow believing The Rock took his best friend away.

00:46:05Uh-oh, I've seen this before.

00:46:07Watch yourself, Rock.

00:46:08The Rock.

00:46:09Al Snow off the chair.

00:46:10And Rock caught him on the clothesline.

00:46:12And the small on the back of Al Snow right through that steel chair.

00:46:16What?

00:46:17Let me borrow your line.

00:46:19What a maneuver.

00:46:20That was great.

00:46:22The Rock catching Al Snow with a forearm.

00:46:25Al Snow small on his back, crashing through the chair.

00:46:28Almost splitting that steel chair in half.

00:46:32Speaking of splitting half, did you see that?

00:46:34Al Snow with a low blow and then a right hand.

00:46:38How is Al Snow still standing after the impact of that chair to spine?

00:46:43Look out now.

00:46:44Oh, man.

00:46:45The Rock counters into the steel chair.

00:46:48Yeah, this might be laid down properly.

00:46:51Here you go, Michael.

00:46:53Merry Christmas, everybody.

00:46:56Coming down your chimney, the people's elbow.

00:47:00Woo-hoo.

00:47:00Rock connects.

00:47:01What an electrifying new year we're gonna have.

00:47:03Hooks the leg, referees in.

00:47:06And The Rock defeats Al Snow.

00:47:09The Rock is coming.

00:47:11Here's your winner, The Rock.

00:47:18The Rock got his revenge on Al Snow.

00:47:21And Al Snow will not get his title shot.

00:47:25The People's Champ with a people's elbow and a Christmas present for Mr. Snow.

00:47:31Check this out, you guys.

00:47:33Check what I think.

00:47:33They are building a stupid pool for us.

00:47:36What?

00:47:36To fight in.

00:47:37A pool?

00:47:38Yeah, for slop, like pudding and fudge and whatever they dream of.

00:47:42Gravy and swimming pool stuff.

00:47:44No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:47:46Time to get my butt on the canvas to wrestle.

00:47:48That's right.

00:47:49Well, listen.

00:47:50You guys, if we ever wanna fight again in the ring, real wrestling.

00:47:54If you ever wanna lace up your boots again, we gotta do something now.

00:47:57For the sake of a women's division, we gotta do it now.

00:47:59It's getting serious.

00:48:03Uh-oh.

00:48:04Okay, we're back here on SmackDown.

00:48:06And that's the music for the former WWF Women's Champion, Ivory.

00:48:11We saw before the break that Ivory said somebody has to do something to save the women's division.

00:48:17What is she talking about?

00:48:19Well, I think she's trying to speed her head something on a moment.

00:48:22Win of the ring, Ivory.

00:48:24You think she's upset that she lost her women's title in that evening gown match in a pool at Armageddon?

00:48:29Yeah, she's trying to start a movement.

00:48:31Like most movements, it might need to be flushed.

00:48:36Why does it seem like every time I come out here, I have to talk about thingies?

00:48:42Talk about what?

00:48:43Those?

00:48:45Well, this time, I'm taking this stuff personal,

00:48:49because what Miss Kitty did at Armageddon, well, that's just a little too much.

00:48:54Hey, that's a cat to you.

00:48:56This, WWF is a sports entertainment show, not adult entertainment.

00:49:02And I have worked way too hard to establish a real women's division.

00:49:09I am the class and dignity champion.

00:49:13But you're not, what?

00:49:15She's not the champion.

00:49:15And all that Miss Kitty is doing to this title is wiping her smut all over it.

00:49:23Whoa.

00:49:24I am the women's wrestling champion.

00:49:28Miss Kitty, you come out here and let's wrestle.

00:49:33A challenge to the champion.

00:49:37Come on, anything goes, any stipulation you want,

00:49:41as long as it's in a wrestling ring and we're wrestling.

00:49:45Come on, what have you got?

00:49:47Does that mean no pudding match?

00:49:48I don't think Miss Kitty's gonna be too pleased that Ivory's not calling her the cat.

00:49:53Uh-oh.

00:49:55Well, I guess the cat has accepted Ivory's challenge.

00:49:59Oh, baby.

00:50:00Or perhaps she's gonna have some words for Ivory.

00:50:04Come on, come on.

00:50:05Come on, come on, come on.

00:50:06Who puts it down?

00:50:07Woo!

00:50:08Merry Christmas.

00:50:12What, what great wrestling attire.

00:50:15You think Stan would want an elf like that?

00:50:18That'd make Santa Claus leap spin this tall, wouldn't it?

00:50:21All the women's champion, the cat accompanied by Chyna, on their way to the ring.

00:50:29Look at this.

00:50:32Happy holidays, folks.

00:50:36Ivory's laid out a challenge.

00:50:38She wants to go one-on-one with the women's champion, the cat, here tonight on SmackDown.

00:50:46Ivory doesn't care, Kim, what kind of stipulations there are.

00:50:49She just wants it to take place inside the ring and the cat trying to drag Chyna into the ring,

00:50:55but the cat's doing it on her own there.

00:50:58Well, Chyna's, I think she's telling the cat they're going on her own, you're right.

00:51:04Well, she is the women's champion.

00:51:06She won the title at Armageddon.

00:51:10Uh-oh.

00:51:11Let me get this straight.

00:51:12You wanna match with me tonight in this ring?

00:51:15In this ring, yes.

00:51:17Anything goes?

00:51:19Anything goes, come on.

00:51:21Let's go.

00:51:22How about no DQ?

00:51:25Huh?

00:51:26Let's do it.

00:51:27Come on.

00:51:27No disqualification?

00:51:29How about no count out?

00:51:31No count out.

00:51:32Let's do it.

00:51:33Wrestling right now.

00:51:35Let's do it.

00:51:36Come on.

00:51:36You're fine, Hot Shot.

00:51:38You got it.

00:51:39Wait a minute.

00:51:40Well, the cat has accepted the challenge.

00:51:42No disqualification, no count out for the women's championship.

00:51:46You gotta be kidding me.

00:51:47Here comes the referee into the ring, and we're gonna have a match here, King.

00:51:51Watch yourself.

00:51:52Well, it wasn't scheduled, but we've got a match.

00:51:54It's cat versus Ivory.

00:51:56Anything goes?

00:51:57Anything goes.

00:51:58No disqualification.

00:52:00Falls count anywhere.

00:52:02And Chyna now, perhaps giving the cat some strategy.

00:52:07Wait a minute.

00:52:08Can't wanna get in a few good looks.

00:52:09Look out, King.

00:52:11What?

00:52:11Chyna's in the ring.

00:52:13What's up with this?

00:52:15The night wonder of the world.

00:52:18Ivory and Chyna face to face in the ring.

00:52:22I don't think this is what Ivory had in mind.

00:52:24I don't think so either.

00:52:26She wanted to go one on one with the cat.

00:52:28And I think she's getting Chyna.

00:52:30King, there's no disqualification.

00:52:36Yeah, Ivory wanted it.

00:52:38Ivory better do something.

00:52:40She tried for the right hand and Chyna.

00:52:45What a clothesline.

00:52:48Hey, Ivory agreed to the stipulations.

00:52:51And Chyna's laughing about it.

00:52:52No DQ, no count out, false count anywhere.

00:52:58Chyna goes six foot.

00:53:00Here with 200 pounds, King.

00:53:02And Ivory's going to cry here.

00:53:04The pedigree.

00:53:06Chyna rolls her over and she's calling the cat into the ring.

00:53:10Look at the cat.

00:53:15Man.

00:53:18Here's the cover on Ivory.

00:53:20The cat retains the title.

00:53:23Ivory agreed to the stipulations.

00:53:25And still won't reclaim ventilation women's champion.

00:53:30The cat and Chyna have sucked it up their sleeve all along.

00:53:33Give Chyna the assist.

00:53:35The cat's still the champ.

00:53:36Good lesson for Christmas upcoming.

00:53:38Be careful what you ask for.

00:53:39You just might get it.

00:53:41Ivory's Christmas wish was the title.

00:53:43She ain't getting it on SmackDown.

00:53:46Hey, how's up guys?

00:53:48How you doing?

00:53:49What's up there?

00:53:49We heard that you have a match with Jeff Hardy and Christian tonight.

00:53:52Is that right?

00:53:53Yes.

00:53:53Well, you guys are in luck.

00:53:55Because we've been scouting them and we can tell you how to beat them.

00:53:57You know how to beat them.

00:53:58You know what these guys are saying.

00:54:00Listen.

00:54:00Do you understand what I'm saying?

00:54:02Yeah.

00:54:02I'll talk slow if you want.

00:54:03First thing you got to do is relax.

00:54:06Relax.

00:54:07Okay?

00:54:07Relax.

00:54:09Because we know how you Chinese guys are.

00:54:11Hey, hey, hey.

00:54:12We are not Chinese.

00:54:13We are Japanese.

00:54:14What?

00:54:15Guys, listen.

00:54:15Japanese, whatever.

00:54:17Just sit down.

00:54:18Get your chopsticks.

00:54:20A little rice.

00:54:21Get off your feet.

00:54:22It'll be no problem.

00:54:23Yes, sir.

00:54:23All right.

00:54:24That's good.

00:54:24Just relax.

00:54:26Big hot fire.

00:54:29We're back on SmackDown at the Reunion Arena in Dallas.

00:54:33So much for the McMahon-Helmsley era.

00:54:36It's the Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley era here tonight on SmackDown.

00:54:41The following tag team crosses this schedule for one fall.

00:54:45Introducing first for Toronto-Canada, weighing in at 215 pounds, Christian.

00:54:53Christian set the team up with Jeff Hardy against Kai and Tai here tonight on SmackDown.

00:54:59Should be a high-flying matchup.

00:55:04And his tag team partner being accompanied to the ring by Terry from Cameron,

00:55:10North Carolina, weighing in at 213 pounds, Jeff Hardy.

00:55:15Yahoo!

00:55:16Okay, we first saw this team of Jeff Hardy and Christian on Raw Monday night when they were

00:55:22forced by a Stephanie and Triple H to take on Matt Hardy, along with Edge.

00:55:28Matt Hardy ended up in the hospital with a broken nose and a broken cheekbone.

00:55:32Come on, Terry.

00:55:34Now, folks, tonight, WWF SmackDown is brought to you by Western Union Money Transfer,

00:55:39the fastest way to send money worldwide.

00:55:42And by 1-800-Killette, the easy way to send.

00:55:45And by Tomb Raider, the last revelation from Eidos Interactive.

00:55:51Like a little revelation from Terry.

00:55:54Wait a minute, what is this?

00:55:56Kai and Tai set for the matchup.

00:55:59And their opponents being accompanied to the ring by the Mean Street Posse,

00:56:04at a combined weight of 388 pounds, Taka, Ichi Doku, and Funaki of Kai and Tai.

00:56:13I knew something was up here, Michael.

00:56:15We saw the Mean Street Posse huddling up there trying to give Kai and Tai some advice.

00:56:20I think that advice is gonna extend right on into the match.

00:56:23Well, this is a strange relationship, the Posse and Kai and Tai.

00:56:28I don't think there's any relationship.

00:56:30Come on, the Mean Street Posse thought these guys were Chinese.

00:56:33So as Kai and Tai gets set to take on Jeff Hardy and Christian.

00:56:36Folks, big week of WWF live events on the way.

00:56:39Sunday, we're in Charlotte.

00:56:40Monday, Raw is war in Greensboro.

00:56:43And Wednesday and Thursday, Nashville and Memphis down in your neck of the woods,

00:56:47and you're gonna be there.

00:56:48I'll be right there battling it out, Nashville and my hometown of Memphis.

00:56:51Good seats still available, folks.

00:56:53What a great Christmas gift as Takamichi Okra now goes to work.

00:56:56Big right hand to Christian.

00:56:58Jeff and Christian picking up the victory over Edge and Matt Hardy being forced

00:57:02into that matchup on Raw by Stephanie and Triple H.

00:57:06Look at this.

00:57:07What a difference a few days can make, King.

00:57:11Triple H and Stephanie having serious problems here tonight on SmackDown.

00:57:14I'll tell you something, they're not having any problems.

00:57:16The Posse, they're so jovial, they're like real proud of the culture.

00:57:20Look out now, Taka, kick out by Christian.

00:57:23One of the matches set up by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley here tonight.

00:57:26Big show, man tied.

00:57:28WWE title will be on the line.

00:57:30Covered by Christian, hook of the leg and a kick out.

00:57:33You know, Triple H is gonna be suspended in a personal cell 15 feet above the ring of that.

00:57:39I can't wait to see.

00:57:41Triple H's gotta come up with something on this.

00:57:44Some sort of plan, something to offset this, this being suspended above the ring.

00:57:48Well, he's being, he's in his locker room now.

00:57:50Armed security making sure he doesn't get out and go after Stephanie.

00:57:53Believe me, that's no good.

00:57:54I had it happen to me one time.

00:57:55Look out now, Christian from the top rope.

00:57:58Evil Knievel wouldn't even have tried that jump.

00:58:01And Taka with a kick to the chest.

00:58:04Look at this now.

00:58:07Man.

00:58:08I think you're talking about Bobby Knievel, right?

00:58:10Taka off the second rope, knocking down Dunaki.

00:58:13What'd he ever jump?

00:58:14Look at that.

00:58:15Man.

00:58:15There's a jump for you.

00:58:16Jeff Harding.

00:58:18And this team of Christian and Jeff, impressive.

00:58:23You know, King, Jeff Hardy and Christian gonna be among the invited guests,

00:58:27as Stephanie McMahon Helmsley calls them to, as she said, pick up the scraps of Triple H.

00:58:32Yeah, what does that mean?

00:58:33I have no idea.

00:58:34We know Triple H is gonna be in a personal cell above the ring for that title match.

00:58:38And that's no fun.

00:58:39I had that happen to me one time.

00:58:40I got a nosebleed.

00:58:40And look at this now.

00:58:41My, big leg drop, top rope, Jeff Hardy with a cover now.

00:58:45On Dunaki in a kick out after two.

00:58:48Look at the nosebleeds.

00:58:49Tess supposed to be invited out here, too, to pick up pieces of whatever.

00:58:52Well, Tess got a piece of the Road Dog earlier on.

00:58:55Stephanie promised no interference in the matchup.

00:58:57There wasn't any.

00:58:58Tess picked up the win.

00:58:59Look out here.

00:59:00Jeff Hardy.

00:59:02And look out, Christian now, reminiscing to the Hardy Boys.

00:59:06Christian and Jeff working together.

00:59:07Yes.

00:59:10And Dunaki in the middle of the ring.

00:59:13Wait a minute.

00:59:14Uh-oh.

00:59:14These guys are having a little, now there's a little scap between the two.

00:59:19Miscommunication.

00:59:19And Dunaki and Taka made him pay.

00:59:22Terry looking out with concern in ringside.

00:59:25And the double team now by tie and tie.

00:59:26That was odd.

00:59:27They were working so well as a team, and all of a sudden.

00:59:31Nice late sweep by Taka.

00:59:32Dunaki follows it up.

00:59:33We've seen this before.

00:59:35Taka drop kicked in the forehead.

00:59:42And look at this.

00:59:43Christian, Taka in trouble.

00:59:44Clamped him.

00:59:45Center of the ring.

00:59:46And Christian needs to make a tag to Jeff Hardy.

00:59:49He's gotta go ahead for Dunaki.

00:59:52Christian and Hardy gotta get back on the same page.

00:59:54Looks like maybe they have.

00:59:56And Jeff now right-handed Dunaki.

00:59:57Right-handed Taka.

00:59:58Another one by Jeff.

01:00:01No!

01:00:02Man!

01:00:03Low blow, so to speak, for Jeff.

01:00:06And here's Dunaki now.

01:00:08Into the corner.

01:00:09And what's Jeff gonna do here?

01:00:11Look at this.

01:00:12An innovator of offense.

01:00:14Jeff Hardy had to cover and Taka broke up the three count.

01:00:19We got them all in the ring now, Michael.

01:00:21All four men in the ring.

01:00:22Terry on one side of the ring.

01:00:23The posse on the other.

01:00:24Jeff Hardy up over the top rope.

01:00:27Dunaki.

01:00:29Taka.

01:00:30Dunaki again with the right hand of Christian.

01:00:32And look out now.

01:00:33Jeff just rolled the barricade and took out Taka Mijinoku.

01:00:36Wow.

01:00:38And Christian now in the ring.

01:00:40Look out now.

01:00:41Plants Dunaki.

01:00:42Face first.

01:00:43Jeff Hardy, top rope.

01:00:45Here we go.

01:00:47Jeff Hardy hooks the leg.

01:00:49Forget about it.

01:00:52Hardy and Christian pick up the win.

01:00:54The posse's advice disworked.

01:00:56Merry Christmas Terry.

01:01:00Look at the posse though.

01:01:01They are certainly not happy.

01:01:05They gave the advice and backfired.

01:01:08And Kai and Tai and the posse having some words.

01:01:11What do you mean the advice backfired?

01:01:12I think the Kai and Tai guys are responsible for execution Michael.

01:01:20Well the posse not too happy.

01:01:22That is Kai and Tai.

01:01:24From behind.

01:01:24Taka and Tsunaki with drop kicks to the posse.

01:01:27And the posse from the league street to Greenwich.

01:01:30Take it off after Kai and Tai.

01:01:32Look out.

01:01:33Now Mick.

01:01:34I have nothing to go on here.

01:01:36Based on what I've seen tonight.

01:01:37Nothing to go on.

01:01:38My gut tells me.

01:01:39That maybe we not.

01:01:41In this.

01:01:42Stephanie McMahon thing.

01:01:43I think you need to be.

01:01:44Dang careful out there.

01:01:45Gets a big show to me.

01:01:46I'm gonna have my eyes wide open.

01:01:48But I'm really focused.

01:01:49Not on Stephanie McMahon.

01:01:50But on the big show.

01:01:51And I'll tell you what.

01:01:52Gonna be a heck of a Christmas.

01:01:53And Mrs. Foley's little boy.

01:01:54Comes home.

01:01:55Wearing gold.

01:01:56You know what I mean.

01:01:57Sure will.

01:01:57Thanks for the hot tip.

01:01:58Good luck team man.

01:01:59Thanks.

01:02:00You know JJR's always skeptical.

01:02:03But I have to admit.

01:02:03Stephanie's proving herself to me.

01:02:05She can prove herself to Kane.

01:02:08It's Kane one on one with Billy Gunn.

01:02:10Next.

01:02:13Welcome back to SmackDown.

01:02:15Stephanie has her husband Triple H.

01:02:17Under house arrest.

01:02:18He's not thinking about this.

01:02:19He's thinking about Tori.

01:02:21You be focused.

01:02:22And you take him down.

01:02:23Alright.

01:02:23He's fixing to have a meltdown.

01:02:26Damn right.

01:02:26We'll get him though.

01:02:30Well folks.

01:02:32Uh-oh.

01:02:35I think I saw Road Dogg saying a prayer for Mr. Ab.

01:02:39He's gonna need it.

01:02:43It has not been a good holiday week to say the least for Kane.

01:02:47His girlfriend Tori has spent the past couple of days with X-Pac.

01:02:54And he's got more days to spend.

01:02:56Fumbling contest is scheduled for Woodfall.

01:02:59Making his way to their aeration at 326 pounds, Kane.

01:03:05You know on Raw Monday Night King, Kane was in a sense screwed by Stephanie and Triple H as they

01:03:10made up stipulations as his match against the Big Show went on.

01:03:13Kane lost his title shot and he also lost Tori when he lost the match.

01:03:18He can't get to X-Pac but he gets to one of the Outlaws here tonight.

01:03:22Watch it.

01:03:23Yeah.

01:03:26Come on, let's face it, he's only lost it for the holidays, you know, Michael.

01:03:31Only.

01:03:31Most important time of the year for a relationship, right?

01:03:35Come on.

01:03:37What could he have gotten Tori for Christmas?

01:03:39Can you imagine Kane out Christmas shopping?

01:03:41And his opponent, he weighs in at 269 pounds, Mr. X.

01:03:50And here we go now.

01:03:51Mr. X wasted little time, the speed and quickness advantage over Kane.

01:03:54The strength of course to the big seven footer and they're hammering away on each other in the middle of

01:03:59the ring.

01:03:59Kane with the knife edge chopped the B-8 Billy Gunn.

01:04:02That little pep talk from Hunter really has motivated Mr. Ashford.

01:04:05I don't really know who Hunter is trying to convince.

01:04:08Kane's motivation is that Tori's spending the holidays with X-Pac thanks in part to D-Generation X.

01:04:16Well, thanks solely to DX as Kane now hits the turnbuckle and Mr. Ashford versus the table.

01:04:21Look at this.

01:04:23Triple H and Road Dogg.

01:04:25No.

01:04:28Triple H and Road Dogg looking on, a lot at stake for them as well.

01:04:32Triple H will be suspended inside a personal cell above the ring tonight.

01:04:36What do you think X-Pac and Tori are doing right at this minute?

01:04:40Big boot by Kane.

01:04:42That's the holidays, he'll probably get her in the Christmas spirit and then they'll settle down for a long winter's

01:04:47nap.

01:04:48And look out now, B-8 Billy Gunn about to stumble in to the big hand of Kane.

01:04:54And look at this now, show slam.

01:04:58Merry Christmas, Mr. Ass hooks the leg, it's over.

01:05:03Kane picks up the win over B-8 Billy Gunn in another matchup set up by Stephanie.

01:05:09Kane.

01:05:09Well, a little bit of revenge and maybe satisfaction, but not much for Kane.

01:05:16Well, Kane, Stephanie promised Kane a matchup on Raw Monday against X-Pac.

01:05:22That'll be live in Greensboro.

01:05:24And if I'm B-8 Billy Gunn, he's gonna start hightailing it because Kane's not through yet.

01:05:30No.

01:05:31All that pent up frustration, the emotional.

01:05:34My.

01:05:35Went for the tombstone.

01:05:37B-8 Billy Gunn countered and Billy Gunn now heading out through the crowd and Kane is in pursuit.

01:05:43Come on, help me, help me.

01:05:45Uh-oh, King, King, they're going to help Billy Gunn.

01:05:49Wait a minute.

01:05:50What are you doing?

01:05:52What are you doing?

01:05:54What are you doing?

01:05:55We got all of them.

01:05:56The cops stop Triple H.

01:05:59Triple H is under house arrest, set up by his wife Stephanie.

01:06:04And Kane taking it out on Billy Gunn.

01:06:07I'll tell you, Stephanie's living up through her promises, King.

01:06:10Stephanie's stepping up.

01:06:12Where are they going now?

01:06:16Kane and B-8 Billy Gunn battling back through the crowd.

01:06:20And Kane trying to send a message, make an example of Mr. S here on SmackDown.

01:06:25I can't believe that Kane has got such evil intentions here in the holidays.

01:06:29Evil intentions?

01:06:30Yes.

01:06:31Can you blame him?

01:06:31His girlfriend's being forced to get, wait a minute.

01:06:34Wait a minute, wait a minute, hold it.

01:06:34I know where she is.

01:06:36I know where Tori is.

01:06:37I know where she is.

01:06:38I know where Tori is.

01:06:38She's on the airport.

01:06:40The Mariano down the spot.

01:06:43Rob Dogg just telling Kane where Tori was.

01:06:47Kane, Kane's going after Tori.

01:06:49He gave a big bug.

01:06:51Well, we're back on SmackDown and King on Monday Night on Raw.

01:06:55Stephanie McMahon and Triple H forced Moolah and May Young into a triple threat

01:06:58match against the Dudley Boys and Acolytes.

01:07:00As Mark Henry looked on, the Dudley Boys showed no mercy.

01:07:03No, it was rest home wrestling at its best.

01:07:06I loved it.

01:07:07The Dudley Boys went right after May and Moolah.

01:07:10It was terrific.

01:07:11Man.

01:07:12But then Mark Henry showed up.

01:07:14And Sexual Chocolate taking out his frustrations for his girlfriend,

01:07:19Mae Young, on the Dudley Boys.

01:07:20And it's revenge time tonight on SmackDown for Sexual Chocolate.

01:07:32And check this out, Kane.

01:07:34Mark Henry accompanied by Ula and Mae Young.

01:07:38Boy, boy.

01:07:40The following contest is for one fall.

01:07:43Making his way to the ranks and being accompanied by the proud young

01:07:46school-eyed, Mae Young, from Hillsby, Texas.

01:07:50Weighing at 380 pounds, Sexual Chocolate, Mark Henry.

01:07:56I'll tell you something, this is appropriate here at Christmas time because

01:07:59Mae and Moolah's first teacher were the three wives, man.

01:08:03I'm telling you, I saw her yearbook.

01:08:06Mary and Johnson were voted cutest couple.

01:08:10So Sexual Chocolate, Mark Henry set for action.

01:08:13You know, this is a strange and bizarre relationship, Kane.

01:08:15But you have to admit, over the past couple of weeks, Mark Henry has been

01:08:19extremely focused on business.

01:08:21Wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:08:21He's a one-woman man.

01:08:22Did you say this is a strange relationship?

01:08:24Y'all don't know, but my baby loves surprises.

01:08:29So let me get right down to it.

01:08:34Uh-oh.

01:08:35I thought up a little poem, and I thought I'd read it to you.

01:08:42He is smitten.

01:08:44He's in love.

01:08:45We've played once or twice, which is truly nice.

01:08:50I'm so happy to have you in my life.

01:08:55All the hot nights that we've spent since our first date,

01:09:02makes me so proud to be in my home stage.

01:09:06I think she got visited by the Wrinkle Fairies.

01:09:08Whoa!

01:09:09Well, Mark Henry, of course, from Texas,

01:09:11with a little Christmas hug for his Honey May.

01:09:19But 11 is about to start.

01:09:21And his opponent.

01:09:22Hey!

01:09:25I'm begging you, shut your mouth, you big idiot!

01:09:32Uh-oh.

01:09:32I think I'm gonna throw up all over myself.

01:09:41Mark Henry, you're nothing but a big, dumb Olympic failure.

01:09:51And you're a disgrace to this state.

01:09:55You know, I heard a cradle robbing, but Mark Henry's almost a cemetery robber.

01:10:00May Young, you're old, you're wrinkly, and you smell like a bedpan at an old folks home.

01:10:09Whoo!

01:10:09That's true.

01:10:11And that's bad.

01:10:12That ain't even right.

01:10:13Thanks.

01:10:13I knew I smelled something over here, Michael.

01:10:16And as far as you people are concerned, I've never seen so many white trash,

01:10:24inbred, tobacco-chewing, pickup truck-driving losers in my life.

01:10:34Well.

01:10:35He's making plenty of friends in Dallas.

01:10:37If you're right, you're right.

01:10:41And you know what else?

01:10:43Your football team sucks.

01:10:47My right hand from Mark Henry, and sexual talk that's going to work on Bubba Ray Dudley.

01:10:54Moore and May Young in their Christmas best looking out at ringside, and here comes Mark Henry for

01:10:59the love of his girlfriend, May Young.

01:11:00Well, I think May is actually chewing some of that tobacco Bubba Ray was talking about.

01:11:04And Devon from behind now, and there's Bubba Ray with her right hand to the near 400 pounder,

01:11:09tremendous duplex, dropping Mark Henry on the back of his head.

01:11:13You're not kidding.

01:11:14I was wondering how many paper bags Mark Henry goes through on one of those hot weekends with May.

01:11:18May Young's concerned about sexual chocolate.

01:11:21You know she's definitely a two-bagger.

01:11:23You know, will you ever admit that maybe perhaps they enjoy being with each other?

01:11:28What are you laughing at?

01:11:29I can't even, I can't even think about it.

01:11:33Bubba Ray backing Mark Henry into the corner.

01:11:35Bad visual.

01:11:37It may be a bad visual coming up next for Triple H.

01:11:40That makes sugar plums dance in my head and all that sort of stuff, Michael.

01:11:44Uh-oh.

01:11:44Triple H will be suspended in a cell above the ring as Mankind takes on the Big Show next,

01:11:49with a WWE title on the line, and sexual chocolate now with big right hands to Bubba Ray Dudley.

01:11:55Look at May.

01:11:57Look at May.

01:11:57I was gonna bring her a fruitcake out here for Christmas, then I remember she's a test pilot for

01:12:01pilot dance.

01:12:02Big elbow by Bubba Ray to the face of Mark Henry.

01:12:05Second rope now.

01:12:07Watch yourself, sexual chocolate.

01:12:08Mark Henry turns into a chest as a clothesline with the big trees off his feet as D-Von,

01:12:13speaking to D-Von, up on the top rope now.

01:12:15D-Von's not involved in this matchup.

01:12:18And look out.

01:12:18Look at-

01:12:19May Young on the apron.

01:12:20May Young.

01:12:21May Young.

01:12:24She's staggering.

01:12:25She's stumbling.

01:12:26May Young coming to the aid of her boyfriend, Mark Henry.

01:12:29Look at this.

01:12:30And May Young and Moolah are relentless.

01:12:32Don't pull those wigs off.

01:12:34And Mark Henry now takes advantage.

01:12:36Bubba rips into the corner.

01:12:37And look at this strike.

01:12:39Mark Henry face first goes Bubba Ray.

01:12:42Let him go, May.

01:12:43And the splash by sexual chocolate.

01:12:46Hook on the leg.

01:12:47It's over.

01:12:48Give the assist to Moolah and May.

01:12:51Mark Henry tucks up for his girlfriend.

01:12:54Here is your sexual chocolate, Mark Henry.

01:12:58I wish Bubba pulled that blue.

01:12:59Well, they don't even remember what the original hair color was.

01:13:03You know, Kang, love does weird things to people.

01:13:06And for Mark Henry, it's caused him to be extremely focused.

01:13:12May Young has got Mark smitten.

01:13:14Uh-oh.

01:13:14This is not going to be easy, okay?

01:13:16Hunter does not want to get in that cell.

01:13:18You have to make him go, okay?

01:13:20Let's do it.

01:13:20Let's go.

01:13:22It's time.

01:13:25I'm not going anywhere.

01:13:28Step, I'm not going.

01:13:29I think you are.

01:13:29There better be more than two of you when we get out of here.

01:13:32Yes, you are.

01:13:32Here you go.

01:13:34I'm not going anywhere.

01:13:35Yes, you are.

01:13:38Come on.

01:13:39Mankind takes down the Big Show for the title.

01:13:42Triple H in a cell above the ring.

01:13:44Next.

01:13:48And now, the WWF Boot of the Week, brought to you by Lugz.

01:13:53Tough boots built for the city.

01:13:55That's Lugz.

01:14:17Boots and Jeans with Attitude.

01:14:19Lugz.

01:14:20Decide and conquer.

01:14:23One cell.

01:14:24This on.

01:14:25Well, folks, there's the personal cell which Triple H will be placed in tonight.

01:14:32It will be suspended 15 feet above the ring for the WWF Championship match between the Big Show and Mankind.

01:14:41Somehow, Michael, I didn't think it would come to this.

01:14:44I thought that maybe Triple H and Stephanie would be able to work out the difference.

01:14:49Taking over the way that Stephanie McMahon and Huffman and Triple H.

01:14:56Now, Stephanie Huffman's been manhandled by that armed security.

01:15:00We're dragging him out here.

01:15:01Taking him down to the ring.

01:15:03And Stephanie's gonna personally see to it that Triple H is put in that cage so he cannot interfere in

01:15:09this matchup between Mankind and the Big Show.

01:15:12You just saw it, Kang, in the Lux Food of the Week.

01:15:15Triple H's interference in that matchup he set up between Mankind and Santa Claus.

01:15:20I know it.

01:15:23Look at this.

01:15:24I can't believe it.

01:15:25Triple H is fighting tooth and nail.

01:15:30But so far tonight, Kang, all throughout the evening, Stephanie McMahon has done what she thought she's gonna do.

01:15:35Get away, get away, don't get in there, Hunter.

01:15:37I'm telling you, that's no place to be.

01:15:39She's getting her husband in that personal cell.

01:15:42And being locked by the security.

01:15:47And look at this, Kang.

01:15:48Referee Timmy White with a steel chain being locked to the door with Triple H inside.

01:15:56Why do women always have to have their way?

01:16:03Well, Triple H will be raised above the ring.

01:16:07And now coming to the stage, Kang, the invitees on their way down here.

01:16:12Test, Edge, Christian, and Jeff Hardy.

01:16:22Looks like we're missing Matt Hardy.

01:16:24Yeah, Matt Hardy finds himself in the hospital with a broken nose, broken cheekbone.

01:16:29Thanks to the now defunct McMahon-Helmsley era.

01:16:32That happened on Raw Monday night.

01:16:35Uh-oh.

01:16:38I'll tell you one thing, Michael.

01:16:40He's now from Texas.

01:16:41They don't roll any bigger anywhere.

01:16:44The best foot two, 500 pounds, a big show.

01:16:59The Big Show.

01:17:02The Big Show.

01:17:05The Big Show.

01:17:06The Big Show mocking Triple H inside that cell.

01:17:10It's the show in mankind coming up and folks, 1-800-collect presents the Royal Rumble 2000.

01:17:161-800-collect, easy way to save.

01:17:19The Royal Rumble will be live January 23rd on pay-per-view from the sold-out Madison Square Garden in

01:17:25New York City.

01:17:34I'll tell you something, this has got to be humiliating for Triple H.

01:17:37And a challenger, he weighs in at 287 pounds, Mankind.

01:17:46What a Christmas gift for Mankind as he tries to become a four-time WWF Champion.

01:17:52And you know how Nick Boney, Mankind, likes the holidays, how he loves Christmas,

01:17:57and what a Christmas gift it would be if he could win the title tonight for the Big Show.

01:18:02I can imagine the Mankind household.

01:18:05All those stupid little sock holes hung by the chimney with care.

01:18:09And that WWE title belt on his mantle.

01:18:13That would be a perfect Christmas for that idiot.

01:18:15Well, King on Raw, Monday Night Mankind coming to JR Zane,

01:18:19only to be slapped in the face by Stephanie McMahon Helmsley.

01:18:22Look out, look out.

01:18:24And Triple H now.

01:18:27He's been, he's been raised into the air.

01:18:3015 feet above the ring to ensure there will be no interference from Triple H tonight.

01:18:36I don't think he likes heights, Michael.

01:18:38And being sent up to the stage, Edge, Christian, Jeff Hardy, and Test,

01:18:44the invitees to watch this matchup.

01:18:46And joining us now, what a surprise, here at ringside, Stephanie McMahon Helmsley.

01:18:51Stephanie, thank you for joining us.

01:18:53Well, thank you, Michael.

01:18:54And I have to admit, I mean, I admire what you've done so far tonight.

01:18:57All these matches you've set up.

01:18:58That's great, I care that you admire.

01:19:00Well, anyhow, is Stephanie waving to Triple H,

01:19:05who's suspended in that cell above the ring?

01:19:07There is no allegiance between Hunter and I in business.

01:19:10It's the McMahon era, not the McMahon-Helmsley era.

01:19:13That's showing Mankind set to go to work now for the title.

01:19:15Stephanie, what did you mean earlier on when you said that you were gonna allow these invitees,

01:19:20Edge, Jeff Hardy, Test, and Christian to pick up the scraps of Triple H?

01:19:24Who's ever the champion after this match, it doesn't matter if there's anything left.

01:19:28They're gonna get their hands on Triple H?

01:19:30They're gonna get their hands on Triple H, and then the rest of these guys can pick up the scraps.

01:19:35You're actually gonna throw your husband to the wolves here tonight?

01:19:38It appears that way.

01:19:40But I mean, do you have any compassion?

01:19:42Look at him, he's screaming for help.

01:19:44That's a long way up there, Stephanie.

01:19:45Sure is.

01:19:46And look at this now.

01:19:4715 feet.

01:19:48Look out, look out.

01:19:49Sidewalk slammed by the champion, the Big Show on Mankind.

01:19:52Hoax the leg, could have a winner here, and a kick out after two.

01:19:55What a golden opportunity for Mankind as the invitees, as Stephanie called them, looked on.

01:20:01Well, you know, Hunter happens to be afraid of heights, too.

01:20:04I know it.

01:20:06He could get a nosebleed up there.

01:20:08Big Show misses right hand.

01:20:09Mankind now goes to the leg, trying to knock this big Sequoia off his feet.

01:20:13Right hand again.

01:20:14In Hunter's case, a nosebleed could be terminal.

01:20:17Yeah, look out, headbutt by Mankind.

01:20:19Stephanie.

01:20:20Would you care to explain what's happened between you and Triple H over the past few days since Raw Monday

01:20:26night?

01:20:26Would I care to explain, no.

01:20:27Look at this.

01:20:28Uh-oh, watch it.

01:20:29Okay, well, Big Show knocked out of the ring by Mankind, right out here in front of us.

01:20:33WWF title is on the line.

01:20:35This match set up by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

01:20:39And let me just tell you something, Michael.

01:20:40You have no right to ask me about my personal business, okay?

01:20:43I'm sorry.

01:20:45And Mankind now going to work on the Big Show.

01:20:48It was Mankind who, when SmackDown went on the air, had threatened a mutiny.

01:20:52And look out, no!

01:20:53Big Show tossing Mankind's spine into that steel post.

01:20:58Mankind had threatened a mutiny here earlier on tonight as we went on the air.

01:21:03Michael Cole, there is gonna be no mutiny, okay?

01:21:06You can stop talking about a mutiny.

01:21:08My God!

01:21:09I'm in control of this company.

01:21:10This is my company.

01:21:12Did you see that crash, that chair crash across Mick Foley's back?

01:21:17How does he take that?

01:21:19The invitees look on.

01:21:21Big Show battles Mankind for the title.

01:21:23Triple H suspended 15 feet above this ring inside a steel cell.

01:21:28I know you said Mick Foley deserves this, but Stephanie, do you have any preference?

01:21:33Do you care which one of these guys get their hands on Triple H after this match?

01:21:37I think both of them probably want to.

01:21:41Big Show with a headbutt to Mankind.

01:21:44Stephanie McMahon helps me promise to show interference in any of this matchup tonight.

01:21:49We haven't seen any.

01:21:49Have you seen any?

01:21:50None.

01:21:51Can you tell us, I mean, is this what's gonna happen when this match is over and

01:21:55the winner's declared, that cage is gonna be lowered down and whoever's won gets the-

01:22:00It doesn't even matter who wins.

01:22:02They both get their hands on Winter.

01:22:04And then so do the invitees.

01:22:06Everybody at once.

01:22:07Everybody.

01:22:08That's an assassination, an execution.

01:22:10Look at him pleading.

01:22:11Well, I guess.

01:22:11He does look kind of helpless up there.

01:22:14Look at this now, Mankind biting the nose of the Big Show.

01:22:17Big Show had a bear hug again.

01:22:19Slams Mankind into the center of the mat.

01:22:22That back again that was just slammed into that steel post.

01:22:25The Big Show working on the small of the back of Mankind who slowly tries to roll out of the

01:22:31ring to catch a breath.

01:22:32Look at that shot.

01:22:34That, folks, you're looking from the inside of that personal cell that Triple H has been locked in.

01:22:40We're looking at a dead man hanging right there.

01:22:43You're telling me, Stephanie, that all of these guys are gonna get their hands on Triple H when this is

01:22:47over?

01:22:47How many times do I have to say again?

01:22:49I just can't believe it.

01:22:50The steel chair meets steel steps and the show is down.

01:22:54You shot him.

01:22:56My.

01:22:57You shot him.

01:22:57Show quickly back up, takes the chair to the midsection.

01:23:00Look out here.

01:23:01What's Mankind doing?

01:23:02He's on the table here with the steel chair.

01:23:05Man.

01:23:07The steel chair over the head.

01:23:10A big show.

01:23:11The WWF titles on the line.

01:23:13I think we're fixing to have a new champion, Michael.

01:23:15What an impact.

01:23:17Chair meets skull.

01:23:20I mean, that's bad what just happened to the Big Show, but I'm really concerned about what's gonna happen to

01:23:23Triple H.

01:23:24This is over.

01:23:25Listen, King, Hunter understands that business is business and personal is personal.

01:23:29They're two completely separate things.

01:23:30But there might not be a personal Hunter left after you get through with your business.

01:23:34And look at this now, Mankind with a sleeper on the Big Show.

01:23:37The title's on the line.

01:23:39Look at Hunter, he's pleading with you, Stephanie.

01:23:42Yeah, I see him.

01:23:44The sleeper's still on the Big Show, the arms down, King.

01:23:47Come on.

01:23:48This could be it.

01:23:49Mankind has it locked into the Big Show.

01:23:52Uh-oh.

01:23:52And the Big Show keeps the arm up.

01:23:54There's some life left there.

01:23:56The champion battling everything he's got.

01:23:58Look at this.

01:23:59Look at the strength.

01:24:01And again, 500 pounds crashing into Mankind, and the back of Mankind could be crushed.

01:24:07That did it, I think.

01:24:09What do you think, Stephanie?

01:24:10You know, I don't even think these guys are gonna be able to do anything to Triple H.

01:24:13Yeah, but you still got those invitees.

01:24:16That's right.

01:24:17Staring a hole in Triple H back there.

01:24:18That's right.

01:24:19They can't wait.

01:24:21So is calling for it.

01:24:23Mankind, a valiant warrior struggling to his feet.

01:24:27Eight of the rope.

01:24:28And here he comes.

01:24:30And Mankind with a low blow.

01:24:32Look at the champion with a DDT.

01:24:36Do we have a new champion?

01:24:38New champion.

01:24:38Two, no.

01:24:39Almost three.

01:24:40And Show kicked out.

01:24:42Triple H doesn't care about that.

01:24:44He just thought that cage was going to be Lauren.

01:24:46Look at this.

01:24:47King, it's Socko time.

01:24:48It's Mr. Socko time.

01:24:50We can crown a new champ right here on SmackDown.

01:24:53I thought that stupid Sock was hanging by the chimney with Care, but it's here.

01:24:57And he's got it locked in.

01:24:58The Man of the Claw on the Big Show, courtesy of Socko.

01:25:03No, look at this show.

01:25:04The top rope, Mankind as well.

01:25:07And both men down outside the ring, WWF title online.

01:25:11Wait a minute.

01:25:12Hey, wait.

01:25:13The cage is being lowered.

01:25:15The cell's being lowered.

01:25:16Stephanie, what's going on?

01:25:17I don't know.

01:25:18What's going on?

01:25:19I don't know.

01:25:20The invitees are coming down here.

01:25:21What's happening?

01:25:22I sure hope they're coming.

01:25:23Wait a minute.

01:25:24King, wait a minute.

01:25:25From behind.

01:25:26Stephanie, what's going on?

01:25:29Where's Stephanie going?

01:25:30Big Show, Test Edge, Christian, all attacked.

01:25:34Triple H has got a key.

01:25:37King Stephanie better get the hell out of there.

01:25:39God knows what Triple H is capable of if he gets out of that cell.

01:25:45The invitees, Stephanie's trying to stop Triple H from getting out of that cell.

01:25:49Stephanie realizes she could be in danger, King, if Triple H gets out of that cell.

01:25:54What?

01:25:54What is going on?

01:25:55Stephanie struggling, trying to keep Triple H inside that cage.

01:25:59No, it's undone.

01:26:00He's out.

01:26:01He's out.

01:26:02And Triple H is out, King.

01:26:05And look, he wanted to destroy Stephanie, but Mankind was in there.

01:26:08And look at this coward using Stephanie as a shield, and Mankind telling Triple H to get Stephanie out of

01:26:14there.

01:26:16Wait a minute.

01:26:17Stephanie just kicked Mankind.

01:26:19She's frightened.

01:26:20She just struck at Mankind from her foe.

01:26:23She's scared in there.

01:26:25Uh-oh.

01:26:27Triple H from the chain to the wrap.

01:26:28Chain to the skull of Mankind.

01:26:31What is happening here again?

01:26:33Wait a minute.

01:26:34King, here come the Outlaws.

01:26:36Working the gun and rope dog.

01:26:38They're all over the Big Show out here.

01:26:40The Vulture's picking apart the Big Show.

01:26:42And you know, King, who the hell knows what Triple H is capable of?

01:26:47He was under house arrest for two hours tonight.

01:26:51No!

01:26:52That steel chain into the forehead of Mankind.

01:26:58It's Stephanie.

01:26:59Stephanie's in shock.

01:27:02Triple H dismantling Mankind into the cell.

01:27:05My God!

01:27:07No!

01:27:09Wait a minute now.

01:27:10Here we go.

01:27:11Triple H has Stephanie right where he wants her.

01:27:14Mankind's been eliminated.

01:27:16What?

01:27:17Wait a minute!

01:27:19What the hell is this?

01:27:21No!

01:27:24What?

01:27:26King!

01:27:28I don't know.

01:27:29My God!

01:27:29Can you believe this?

01:27:33What have they done?

01:27:34Listen to these people.

01:27:35What have they done to Mankind?

01:27:37I can't believe this, King.

01:27:40It's a damn trick.

01:27:41We've been had.

01:27:42We've been had by Triple H and Stephanie.

01:27:48In this joyous holiday season, we've only got two words.

01:28:02Merry Christmas.

01:28:04Merry Christmas.

01:28:05What else is Triple H?

01:28:07But more importantly, what else is Stephanie McMahon-Hemsley capable of?

01:28:12What's gonna happen next in the WWF?
