00:00:00Tonight, Rock, you're going to have the shortest reign of any WWF champion in history.

00:00:09Because tonight, Rock, inside the steel cage, you will defend the World Wrestling Federation Championship against my son, Shane.

00:00:22The Rock says, just bring it.

00:00:25The WWF title will be at stake.

00:00:28The only way to win this match is to escape the cage.

00:00:31Wait a minute. Patterson got The Rock's face and Shane trying to make a quick exit.

00:00:37Climb, Shane. Climb.

00:00:38The Rock playing a smackdown on Shane McMahon, but there's a master plan here.

00:00:43The door's open. Look at this.

00:00:45Trying to pull his son out the door.

00:00:46It's a tone of war over the WWF.

00:00:49Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

00:00:50Patterson, that old fool.

00:00:52And Shane from behind, Patterson was deflecting The Rock.

00:00:56Shane McMahon exhorted to climb over the top of the cage.

00:00:59It's a little more.

00:01:00And become the WWF champion.

00:01:02The Rock's going to get Shane off the top of the cage.

00:01:05It's that way up.

00:01:06They're in dangerous territory up here.

00:01:08No, look how high they are.

00:01:10No.

00:01:10Oh, Shane's head.

00:01:12It's in that motor.

00:01:13Shane McMahon's unconscious.

00:01:15What did Patterson do?

00:01:17The man referees.

00:01:18Patterson.

00:01:19What's this?

00:01:20More more.

00:01:21And Patterson.

00:01:22That's it.

00:01:23Patterson.

00:01:23Patterson, Shane.

00:01:24On the top of the cage.

00:01:26He's putting up in half.

00:01:27Freaky Manhattan.

00:01:28Rob's in the referee.

00:01:30Oh, yeah.

00:01:31Not far.

00:01:32Not far.

00:01:33The operation.

00:01:34The Rock I've seen by the hair.

00:01:36Shane's that close to the club of the WWF champion.

00:01:39And it's beating it.

00:01:40Pulling down.

00:01:42Control, Shane.

00:01:43Back inside.

00:01:45Yeah.

00:01:45Oh, my God.

00:01:46Further.

00:01:48God sakes.

00:01:49He's been broken.

00:01:50Shane McMahon's back.

00:01:52Oh, my God.

00:01:52Oh.

00:01:53Pressing to set the door on the Rock's head.

00:01:56But he opened it for Triple H to get in.

00:01:58Triple H with one arm.

00:02:00The Rock has been battered and tied by the game.

00:02:04Hey, wait a minute, JR.

00:02:05Look at this.

00:02:06Oh.

00:02:07And they're from behind.

00:02:08Ram Briscoe into the cage.

00:02:10Triple H is trying to drive Shane outside.

00:02:13Oh.

00:02:14The Rock's in the door on the game's head.

00:02:17McMahon has chased the girl hander.

00:02:19The Rock is up.

00:02:21The Rock.

00:02:22Can he make it?

00:02:25Oh.

00:02:26Yes.

00:02:27Yes.

00:02:28Yes.

00:02:28There may be hell to pay for Earl Hebner.

00:02:32But The Rock has done a fatal bullet.

00:02:36Look at the face of Vince McMahon.

00:02:37His dream has been shattered.

00:02:39But that bullseye is still on the test of The Rock.

00:02:43The Rock.

00:03:43Michael Cole, Jerry the King Lover, and Rinside.

00:03:51Ladies and gentlemen, let me first introduce the referee, Richmond's own Earl Hedner.

00:03:59Oh, please, Michael, what is this?

00:04:01It's Richmond's own Earl Hedner, reinstated by Linda McMahon earlier this week.

00:04:06I can't believe he's got his own entrance here.

00:04:09Who does he think he is?

00:04:10Look at that smirk on his face.

00:04:12Earl Hedner is the man who played a drastic role in the Rocks, regaining the title Sunday

00:04:17and thwarting the McMahon-Helmpley regime's plans on Raw this past Monday.

00:04:21Let's face it, entrances are for stars, not referees.

00:04:26Kicking off SmackDown, the Intercontinental title is on the line.

00:04:31A rematch after a spectacular match at Backlash.

00:04:35Y2J, Chris Jericho, the challenger, against Chris Benoit.

00:04:46Kermit and formation from Y2J.

00:05:04Okay, Chris Jericho came within a hair of winning the Intercontinental Championship

00:05:08in Backlash this past Sunday.

00:05:11A tremendous match against Chris Benoit.

00:05:13Yeah, but he didn't get it done.

00:05:15Look at that.

00:05:15He had to use, Y2J had to use that championship belt

00:05:19right in the face of Chris Benoit, a plate disqualification.

00:05:24Well, the championship belt brought in the ring by Chris Benoit,

00:05:27but nonetheless, a plate disqualification.

00:05:30Chris Benoit retains the title.

00:05:32Now, after the matchup, Chris Jericho put referee Tim White in the walls of Jericho,

00:05:36and because of those actions, received a $5,000 fine.

00:05:40Well, that's not enough.

00:05:41If you ask me, it should have been suspended.

00:05:42And certainly, this man should not have been forced to put the title on the line again.

00:05:48He has 24-25 pounds in the World Wrestling Federation, Intercontinental Chicken, Chris Benoit.

00:05:58I'll say what you want about Chris Benoit, but he is indeed a fighting Intercontinental Champion,

00:06:04putting the title on the line not only at Backlash on Sunday, but this past Sunday on Raw,

00:06:08and again here tonight, and at Backlash on Sunday, again, Chris Benoit suffered a broken nose.

00:06:16The nose broken when he flew off the top rope and ran into the Intercontinental title.

00:06:21Earl Hebner born and raised here in Richmond, Virginia.

00:06:24Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Intercontinental title on the line as we kick off SmackDown.

00:06:29Oh, look at this.

00:06:30And look at the intensity between these two great athletes.

00:06:34It was a tremendous match at Backlash.

00:06:36And look at Benoit.

00:06:37Good.

00:06:38Flapped across the face and won from Y2J.

00:06:40And here we go.

00:06:41Well, Y2J needs to be punished.

00:06:43Instead, he's been rewarded.

00:06:45I mean, is that any kind of message to send to the children in this country?

00:06:48That had to be another Linda McMahon thing or something.

00:06:51No love lost between these two individuals, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit.

00:06:54And what a clothesline.

00:06:56Nice move from Benoit.

00:06:58Ripley Earl Hebner officiating this matchup.

00:07:01And what do you think's going through his mind?

00:07:02Do you think he's afraid of possible repercussions tonight at the hands of the McMahon Helmsley regime?

00:07:07He should be afraid of repercussions, but I don't know what's going through his mind.

00:07:11Probably nothing.

00:07:12He is from Richmond, Virginia, you know.

00:07:14He lets his 12-year-old daughter smoke at the table in front of her kids.

00:07:18And listen to the chops from Benoit Jericho.

00:07:24Intercontinental title up for grabs as we kick off what should be an explosive smackdown.

00:07:30The Rock is already here, King.

00:07:31We saw the Brahma Bowl earlier on.

00:07:33And the Ed Helmsley regime is expected to arrive momentarily.

00:07:37Oh, look at this.

00:07:38Oh, what a powerbomb by Jericho on Benoit.

00:07:43And look at Jericho.

00:07:45Oh, yeah.

00:07:47Nice move.

00:07:48The Intercontinental champion, Chris Benoit, putting Jericho through the rigors with a German suplex.

00:07:56One more time.

00:07:58Here's a cover.

00:07:59There's two.

00:08:00And Jericho kicks out before the count of three.

00:08:03Tell you what, Benoit and Jericho are polar opposites.

00:08:06Benoit, stoic.

00:08:09Rarely smiles.

00:08:10Very little to say.

00:08:11And Y2J always with an expression on his face.

00:08:15Always running his mouth.

00:08:16But two great athletes in this match.

00:08:21And Chris Benoit methodically picking apart the challenger, Y2J, Chris Jericho.

00:08:29Oh, what a great way to start off's neck out from the sold-out Richmond Coliseum.

00:08:34Listen to these idiots here in Richmond.

00:08:36What are they saying about Benoit?

00:08:37Oh, my God.

00:08:39What a great way to start off.

00:08:41And some words now between Chris Benoit and Earl Hebner.

00:08:44You know, the furthest out you go, the more tighty-mouthed these fans get.

00:08:49Reversal.

00:08:49Benoit, the champion, ripped into the corner and a boot to the face of Y2J.

00:08:53Oh, what a spinning heel kick to the chin by Jericho.

00:08:58Remember when we were in Baltimore last Monday?

00:09:00Oh, the fans were off.

00:09:01Hook of the leg.

00:09:02There's two and a kick out by Benoit.

00:09:04And King, Chris Benoit, injured that nose when he ran into the championship gold.

00:09:09Off the top rope on backlash.

00:09:12And it looked like he re-injured it with that spinning heel kick.

00:09:14What do you expect?

00:09:14It was broken.

00:09:17You'd be in a hospital right now, Michael.

00:09:19Oh, probably.

00:09:20Nonetheless, Benoit continuing to work on the challenger, Chris Jericho.

00:09:24Again, the People's Champ, the WWF Champion.

00:09:27And The Rock is here on SmackDown.

00:09:30We're expecting the arrival of the McMahon-Helmsley regime.

00:09:34Oh, you think they have in store for The Rock?

00:09:36Believe me, they'll be here, and they'll have something big in store for The Rock.

00:09:39And I'm sure something's in store for this moronic girl, Hefner.

00:09:42The regime will not rest until the World Wrestling Federation title is off the waist of The Rock.

00:09:47Oh, what an elbow to me.

00:09:49Face of Chris Benoit.

00:09:50Jericho.

00:09:51Oh, a missile front kick second rope.

00:09:53Did you know Earl Hefner's been married three times, and he's still got the same in-laws?

00:09:56Will you stop?

00:09:57Oh, Brisbane, Virginia.

00:09:59Referee Earl Hefner reinstated by Linda McMahon earlier this week.

00:10:03And you know, King, Hefner over the years has refereed some of the greatest matches in WWF history

00:10:09and involved in another great one here tonight.

00:10:12Come on, man.

00:10:13Get up, Benoit.

00:10:14And YGJ really going to work on the face of Chris Benoit.

00:10:17And there's the Bulldog, Plenty Benoit, face first into the mat.

00:10:21Cover by Jericho.

00:10:22Could have a new champion, too, and Benoit gets the shoulder up.

00:10:24That's the fastest count I've ever seen, Hefner.

00:10:27Tremendous competitor, Chris Benoit.

00:10:28Well, you mentioned Vince and Linda McMahon.

00:10:30I'd have loved to put a flag on the wall in the McMahon mansion when Vince got home.

00:10:34Oh!

00:10:34What do you think he said to Linda McMahon?

00:10:37I should have to think.

00:10:39Boy, just think of the life he's given her.

00:10:42Chris Benoit, Jericho in trouble.

00:10:45Oh, Jericho reverses it, hooks the leg.

00:10:48Oh, and Benoit kicks out again before the count of three.

00:10:52Vince McMahon's been husband of the year many times over.

00:10:55He's been able to leave the life of luxury, and what does she do?

00:10:58She brings back Stone Cold Steve Austin, and now Earl Hefner.

00:11:01Suplex on Jericho, and the champion Chris Benoit, the Canadian crippler, feels like he's in control.

00:11:07Oh, boy, here we go.

00:11:09Benoit to the top vote, Y2J in trouble, and Jericho, oh, a wise maneuver.

00:11:15And Benoit was going for the headbutt, and Jericho countered.

00:11:18Oh!

00:11:19And now the challenger, Chris Jericho, in control.

00:11:22Now, don't you think Hefner should have disqualified Jericho for a low blow right then?

00:11:25No low blow at all.

00:11:27What?

00:11:28Just knocked Benoit off his feet.

00:11:31Again, Jericho off his feet.

00:11:32Benoit up in the high-rent district again.

00:11:34Here we go!

00:11:35Off the top vote, jumps that flip.

00:11:37Jericho rolls over.

00:11:38What?

00:11:39What a reversal by Jericho!

00:11:42Oh!

00:11:42He was going for the walls of Jericho when Chris Benoit countered.

00:11:46And now Benoit going for the triple of crossface.

00:11:49And he has to get it locked in, King.

00:11:52Come on!

00:11:53The Intercontinental Champion going for the triple of crossface.

00:11:56But get it locked in on Jericho.

00:11:59He's losing a lot of play.

00:12:01Benoit is from that nose.

00:12:02Look at this!

00:12:03Look out.

00:12:03Jericho tossed over the top rope.

00:12:06That was inadvertent.

00:12:07Unnot purpose.

00:12:09Unintentional.

00:12:09Well, nonetheless, Jericho is covered in Benoit's blood.

00:12:14And Benoit buying some time.

00:12:16Look at Earl Hebner.

00:12:17Yeah, look at Earl Hebner.

00:12:19How do you explain that?

00:12:20Earl Hebner pulling...

00:12:22Oh, wait a minute.

00:12:23Benoit Hebner in a shoving match.

00:12:26Hebner caught down through the second rope.

00:12:28Good!

00:12:29Chris Benoit Hebner.

00:12:30Jericho!

00:12:31Look at Earl Hebner.

00:12:32With the title to the face of Benoit.

00:12:34Cheater!

00:12:35Cheater!

00:12:36And the lion's own by Chris Jericho.

00:12:39The cover.

00:12:41Referee's down.

00:12:42Look at this!

00:12:44No way!

00:12:44It's over!

00:12:45Chris Jericho, the Intercontinental Champion!

00:12:53What a match!

00:12:55What a way!

00:12:56Let's go on SmackDown!

00:12:57Chris Jericho!

00:13:01This is the...

00:13:02This is the miscarriage of justice that I've ever seen one!

00:13:05Okay, I've got to know any Chris Jericho's actions.

00:13:08But Jericho may have realized this may have been his last title shot.

00:13:12Considering he's done it, not in well with the McAntonically regime.

00:13:16Unbelievable!

00:13:17You watch this!

00:13:18Here's Bruce confident!

00:13:19What a cheater this could not be allowed!

00:13:22Jericho wins the championship match!

00:13:24He splashed Benoit on the head that looks right behind the evidence!

00:13:28And then the lion's gone by Jericho.

00:13:30But it was Chris Benoit, Kane, who shoved referee Earl Hebner out of the ring.

00:13:34It was Chris Benoit who knocked the referee out of the action!

00:13:38This is awful!

00:13:42Uh-oh!

00:13:43There's Triple H!

00:13:45Vince McMahon!

00:13:46The McMahon-Helmsley regime is here!

00:13:50Kane, what do you think they have planned for The Rock?

00:13:52I don't know, but they got here just in time to find out what Earl Hebner just did!

00:14:00This can't be good!

00:14:03For The Rock and Earl Hebner!

00:14:06Somebody tell him about Earl Hebner's win!

00:14:08Oh, yeah.

00:14:09It's gonna be a fun evening.

00:14:13You think the McMahon-Helmsley regime has gotten whiff of, uh, what just happened between Earl Hebner and Chris Benoit

00:14:19and Chris Jericho?

00:14:20Believe me, Vince McMahon knows everything.

00:14:22I've been waiting for this since last Monday, Michael.

00:14:25I want you to just shut up and listen.

00:14:28This should be great.

00:14:31A new Intercontinental Champion crowned in Chris Jericho.

00:14:35Wow.

00:14:35What else is gonna happen on what should be an explosive night on SmackDown?

00:14:41Look at this entourage.

00:14:42You talk about numbers.

00:14:44Oh-ho!

00:14:45Vinnie Mac!

00:14:49The great Richmond reception for Mr. McMahon.

00:14:55How nice it is to be here in Richmond, Virginia.

00:15:02He said that with a straight face.

00:15:05Richmond, Virginia is a town of great historical significance.

00:15:10Yes, indeed, Richmond historically is known as the capital of the Confederacy.

00:15:20We're proud of that here.

00:15:23Richmond is the home of Jefferson Davis.

00:15:26He was the president of the Confederacy.

00:15:29Here in Richmond, this is the location in which Patrick Henry gave his impassioned speech,

00:15:36Give me liberty or give me death.

00:15:39Man, is he smart.

00:15:41What a statesman.

00:15:44Richmond is the capital of the great state of Virginia.

00:15:49He knows everything.

00:15:53Oh, boy.

00:15:55Fans chanting for The Rock.

00:15:57I don't think Patrick Henry had these problems.

00:16:01You're interrupting my speech.

00:16:06A bunch of morons.

00:16:08Shut up!

00:16:09However, more recently, Richmond has been known for its corrupt city council.

00:16:17Uh-oh.

00:16:19That's a fact.

00:16:20I read that in the paper.

00:16:21You read the paper?

00:16:22And as of late, Richmond is known as the home of referee Earl Hebner.

00:16:31Oh, that's even worse.

00:16:34That's even worse.

00:16:34Born and bred.

00:16:35Corrupt city council and a corrupt referee.

00:16:40Now this would be the same Earl Hebner who was reinstated as a referee by my wife, Linda.

00:16:49Uh-oh.

00:16:50Here we go.

00:16:53The same Earl Hebner who counted Triple H's shoulders down for one, two, three.

00:16:58Hey, shoulders roll down.

00:17:00That's the same Earl Hebner, all right.

00:17:02The same Earl Hebner who raised the hand of The Rock as the new WWF champion.

00:17:08Oh, watch out.

00:17:09He's starting to boil.

00:17:16Then, it's only right then that Earl Hebner returns back to that ring tonight here in his hometown.

00:17:25Oh, he's already been out there today.

00:17:27He's already been out here.

00:17:28He's already screwed up.

00:17:28Only this time, Earl Hebner will not be returning as a referee.

00:17:32No, tonight in that very ring, Earl Hebner will have his very first wrestling match.

00:17:43You've got to be kidding me.

00:17:45What?

00:17:45Earl's not a wrestler.

00:17:47I think I like this.

00:17:48And Earl Hebner, if you disobey my orders, that means that you've breached your contract.

00:17:56And that means not only will you be fired again this time by God, you'll stay fired.

00:18:03Earl's going to wrestle?

00:18:04That's the right thing to do, Vince.

00:18:05Good job.

00:18:06However, it wouldn't be right for Earl Hebner to have to face single competition in his first wrestling match in

00:18:14his hometown.

00:18:14That wouldn't be fair.

00:18:17So, therefore, tonight, Earl...

00:18:25Now, don't refer to Earl Hebner like that.

00:18:30Ha-ha!

00:18:31He is one, Vince.

00:18:32Tonight, Earl will have a tag team partner.

00:18:35Uh-oh.

00:18:36That's right.

00:18:36Tag team action.

00:18:38And Earl will be happy with this, and so will you.

00:18:41Because tonight, Earl's tag team partner will be The Rock.

00:18:49Earl Hebner and The Rock.

00:18:51Teaming here tonight.

00:18:52Watch what is going on.

00:18:55That's a formidable team.

00:19:00So, therefore, we've got Earl Hebner teaming up with The Rock to face the opposition of X-Pac.

00:19:10Oh, no.

00:19:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:14X-Pac's tag team partner.

00:19:17Oh, boy.

00:19:17Road doggy doggy doggy.

00:19:19What a mess that's going to be.

00:19:22DX against Rock and Earl?

00:19:24Oh.

00:19:25And their tag team partner.

00:19:29What?

00:19:29The next World Wrestling Federation champion, Triple H.

00:19:33You've got to be kidding me.

00:19:35Three against...

00:19:36Two?

00:19:36It's really three against one.

00:19:38You see, it's two versus three.

00:19:42You might call this a handicap match.

00:19:46Big time.

00:19:47No, no, he means Triple H.

00:19:49However, oh, I almost forgot.

00:19:52This match will be for the World Wrestling Federation Championship.

00:19:57What?

00:19:58How do you do that in a tag match?

00:20:00Just listen.

00:20:01I'm sure he'll explain.

00:20:02Now, then, if The Rock's shoulders are pinned to the mat, The Rock loses the WWF Championship.

00:20:10There you go.

00:20:11Okay.

00:20:12And if The Rock's tag team partner, in his very first match in his hometown, Earl Hebner,

00:20:18if Earl Hebner's shoulders are pinned for the one, two, three, The Rock loses the WWF Championship.

00:20:25That's not fair.

00:20:26That's highway robbery, kid.

00:20:28Oh, come on.

00:20:29That's very fair.

00:20:30Well, tonight, here in Richmond, we will crown a new World Wrestling Federation Champion.

00:20:39And once again, history will be made in Richmond, Virginia.

00:20:45And this historic city, once again, will be part of history.

00:20:50You've got to be kidding me.

00:20:52DX against The Rock and Earl Hebner can't get career suicide.

00:20:57It's not three out of two, it's three out of one.

00:21:00What a statement that Vince McMahon is.

00:21:02If only Al Gore had his charisma.

00:21:04The Rock's title reign is in serious jeopardy tonight.

00:21:07It's over, he's got to be here in the remains of the world.

00:21:36I can't believe this happened.

00:21:40Janet, you missed a spot over here.

00:21:42Janet, I've already told you I need every inch of ass off of my face.

00:21:48Well, he's correct on that count, Jake, because of what happened on Raw this past Monday night.

00:21:52The stink face at the hands of Rikishi.

00:21:55And apparently that's the reason that Edge and Christian are receiving facials this week.

00:22:02You know something, Edge?

00:22:03Rikishi is going to so pay for inventing that stinky, disgusting, vile move.

00:22:12Can't believe we lost the cover of Tiger Beat because of this.

00:22:16Every inch, Janet. Every inch.

00:22:18Stink face.

00:22:21Mamacita.

00:22:23A fan going to their hands much, Edge and Christian?

00:22:25What are you talking about?

00:22:26I mean, these guys, they're beautiful people.

00:22:29I mean, you've got to do some repair work when you have, like, Rikishi's big butt right in your face.

00:22:35You've got to have a facial.

00:22:37Well, Edge and Christian versus Rikishi tonight in a handicap action.

00:22:40And speaking of beautiful people, what about Latino Heat?

00:22:43Mamacita.

00:22:44Ooh, Latino Heat.

00:22:46You know, it's not going to be the only handicap match tonight.

00:22:50Rock and Earl Hebner against DX with the WWF title on the line.

00:22:55Oh, man.

00:22:56Following intergender tag team matches scheduled for one fall.

00:23:01Introducing China and the World Wrestling Federation European Champion, Eddie Guerrero.

00:23:08Okay, China and Eddie Guerrero have been waiting for days to get their hands on Este Rios and Lita

00:23:12because of what happened at Backlash this past Sunday night.

00:23:16Yeah, exactly.

00:23:16We saw Latino Heat arrive straight from the prom.

00:23:21And, well, they had quite a match up there with Este Rios.

00:23:26And then what happens?

00:23:27The beautiful prom dress gets ripped off by Lita.

00:23:31I can believe it.

00:23:32Yeah, Lita ripping off the prom dress of China.

00:23:35But, uh, Eddie Guerrero, Latino Heat, well, he liked what he saw when, uh, Mamacita was, uh, stripped down to

00:23:41her brawn panties.

00:23:42Oh, brawn panties!

00:23:43Brawn panties!

00:23:44Check it out!

00:23:46That's a real Latino Heat!

00:23:53And her opponents, making their way to the ring, Lita and Missy Guerrero!

00:24:00Well, on Raw this past Monday night, China and Eddie Guerrero got a little bit of revenge, well, especially China

00:24:06on Lita.

00:24:07Well, you got that right.

00:24:08I mean, oh, nice drop kick.

00:24:10And Lita wore the actual gown that China had walked to the ground.

00:24:15She wore it after the ring, but she didn't wear gloves.

00:24:18Well, China wanted her, uh, brawn dress back.

00:24:20Yeah, with some more brawn panties!

00:24:21Brawn panties!

00:24:22Woo-hoo!

00:24:23I guarantee you this, Kake, Lita absolutely does not want to cut down to the ring tonight for this matchup.

00:24:29It is extremely apprehensive to get into the ring with China and Eddie Guerrero.

00:24:33I don't blame her at all.

00:24:36And speaking of apprehensive, I'm sure that referee Errol Hedder is going to be extremely apprehensive,

00:24:42forced to get into the ring tonight to team with The Rock against Triple H, Rope Dog, and Xbox.

00:24:48And the WWF Championship is going to be on the line!

00:24:51Oh, man!

00:24:52This is a little idiot, can't be lucky!

00:24:55Okay, check it out.

00:24:56And S.A. Rios are delivering flowers.

00:24:58There's Tolita, and China did not like it, and Eddie Guerrero goes to work.

00:25:03Those were China's flowers!

00:25:04Yeah, China's flowers that Eddie Guerrero had delivered to the ninth winner of the world.

00:25:07And S.A. Rios, oh, man!

00:25:09Suffers the backbreaker at the hands of Eddie Guerrero.

00:25:12Got that right.

00:25:13So let me get this right, King.

00:25:15If Errol Hedder is pinned tonight by any member of D-Generation X,

00:25:19then The Rock loses the World Wrestling Federation title.

00:25:22The Rock doesn't even have to be pinned to lose his championship.

00:25:25But you got it exactly right!

00:25:28What a brilliant plan by Mr. McMahon!

00:25:30The McMahon healthy regime has said it will not rest

00:25:33until The Rock no longer is the World Wrestling Federation champion.

00:25:38And I have to admit, King, the plan this evening looks ingenious.

00:25:41Look at this!

00:25:43The Latino Heat is being turned up on S.A. Rios!

00:25:46Great double team with Mamacita and Latino Heat in China

00:25:49delivering the kicks to the small of the back of S.A. Rios.

00:25:52Yeah, but you know Chyna can't wait to get her hands on

00:25:54La Lerita, Lita, brother!

00:25:57What's this?

00:25:58Slammed by Chyna.

00:25:59What's this?

00:26:00Eddie Guerrero up on the top bit of the gut

00:26:02of S.A. Rios.

00:26:04Mamacita and Latino Heat working well together, King.

00:26:07And look at Lita.

00:26:08You're right.

00:26:09She is not anxious to get in that ring.

00:26:12Oh!

00:26:13Eddie Guerrero, the European champion.

00:26:15You just saw Lita looking on.

00:26:17Oh!

00:26:18And S.A. Rios, right hands to Guerrero.

00:26:20And S.A. Rios misses with the enziguri.

00:26:24Oh!

00:26:25Wow!

00:26:25And S.A. Rios falling back at Eddie Guerrero.

00:26:28Caught him in the chin.

00:26:29Yeah!

00:26:29And S.A. Rios with a dropkick to Chyna!

00:26:32Mamacita!

00:26:34And S.A. Rios a tremendous actor.

00:26:36Hey, hey, look at Lita!

00:26:37And look at Lita taking advantage of the fallen Chyna.

00:26:41Kick a woman!

00:26:41Oh!

00:26:42She's down the leg!

00:26:42Slamming the ring.

00:26:43Hooks the leg.

00:26:44Couple of other...

00:26:45And a kick out!

00:26:46Uh-oh.

00:26:47Look at the ninth wonder in the world!

00:26:49And Chyna is not happy!

00:26:50She's got Lita in her sight!

00:26:52And Lita's running for dear life!

00:26:55This is a tag team matchup.

00:26:57S.A. Rios and Lita against Eddie Guerrero in Chyna.

00:27:00But if I'm Lita, I'm going nowhere near the ring.

00:27:03Here, Lita.

00:27:04I'm out of here.

00:27:05Up over the top, S.A. Rios.

00:27:07It's Eddie Guerrero.

00:27:08Sweet footlock of his own and a nice arm drag by S.A. Rios.

00:27:12And Eddie Guerrero and Lita taking advantage!

00:27:17Referee pulled away by S.A. Rios and Lita delivering a shot!

00:27:20And then a foot to the kidney of Eddie Guerrero.

00:27:23Wow.

00:27:24Lita's sneaking.

00:27:27Sneaky?

00:27:28Reversal.

00:27:28S.A. Rios off the ropes.

00:27:30Go!

00:27:31Oh!

00:27:32What a maneuver by Eddie Guerrero.

00:27:34Nice move from Latino Heat!

00:27:37I still can't believe The Rock's being forced to team with Earl Hefner later on tonight

00:27:41against D-Generation X.

00:27:43Oh, look at this.

00:27:44Look out!

00:27:44Look at that!

00:27:45Oh!

00:27:46Right to the sternum of S.A. Rios!

00:27:49I'll tell you, Chyna and Eddie Guerrero are cooking as a tag team here on SmackDown!

00:27:54It's not the only place they cook.

00:27:56Oh!

00:27:57It's been a wild night already.

00:27:58Chris Jericho, the new Intercontinental Champion.

00:28:01I heard they also have flame-retardant sheets on their bed.

00:28:04Double touchdown!

00:28:05And Chyna and S.A. Rios both need to make tags.

00:28:08But Nita Heat!

00:28:10And now Lita wants to make the tag team.

00:28:12I think it's Chyna's Day!

00:28:14Lita, like a vulture, wants to pick up the falling pieces!

00:28:18Oh, look out!

00:28:19Lita, tremendous athlete!

00:28:21Got to make it a nice shoulder, Deku!

00:28:23And more accounted by Chyna!

00:28:25Out!

00:28:25And the ninth runner of the world!

00:28:27Put her hands on Lita!

00:28:28Her hand!

00:28:29No, no, no!

00:28:29Look out!

00:28:30Lita!

00:28:31Put a move on Chyna!

00:28:33Thundering off the mat!

00:28:34What a broken hand!

00:28:37And Chyna stalking her brain!

00:28:39Eddie Guerrero!

00:28:40Whipping at S.A. Rios in the barricade to leave Chyna alone with Lita!

00:28:44Oh, this is going to be a massacre!

00:28:46Lita's in deep, deep trouble!

00:28:48Look at the strength of Chyna!

00:28:49The ninth runner of the world!

00:28:52Remember the animal?

00:28:53That's going to be nothing compared to this water!

00:28:57And Chyna...

00:28:58Oh, wait!

00:28:59Makes quick work!

00:29:01Of Lita!

00:29:03Of Chyna, a proger point!

00:29:06Of Lita!

00:29:07He's a ruler!

00:29:09Eddie Guerrero and Chyna pick up the victory in tag team action!

00:29:14What do you think that you can celebrate?

00:29:16Oh, are you kidding me?

00:29:19A couple of frijoles and it is a...

00:29:21Oh, hot the up time!

00:29:23Okay, we got to take another look at the awesome strength and power of the ninth runner of the world,

00:29:29Chyna!

00:29:29Check this out!

00:29:31Oh, wow!

00:29:32Oh, man!

00:29:34And the tremendous strength of Chyna as well!

00:29:39The ninth runner in the world is making a statement to Lita!

00:29:44So Chyna and Eddie Guerrero with a big victory!

00:29:56This man Kurt Angle is at the premiere of the blockbuster movie Gladiator this past Monday night.

00:30:01He claims he was the personal guest of Steven Spielberg.

00:30:04Well, that's true!

00:30:05It's true!

00:30:06It's true!

00:30:06I mean, and I'm not going to show you that Steven Spielberg is thinking about doing another movie

00:30:10that's probably the life story of Kurt Angle if he's bigger than Schindler's List!

00:30:16It's true!

00:30:17It's true!

00:30:18You know, I have a little problem with my opponent tonight, Hardcore Holly.

00:30:23Uh-oh.

00:30:24You see, when I think of the word hardcore, I think of hardcore pornography.

00:30:30Uh-oh!

00:30:33What is wrong with you people?

00:30:35There are children here tonight.

00:30:38You think of hardcore all the time, don't you, Michael?

00:30:40We're in a state where the motto is, Virginia is for lovers.

00:30:46What's wrong with that?

00:30:48Pornography!

00:30:49And not to be a critic, but as I look around the crowd tonight,

00:30:54I realize that motto should be extended a little bit further.

00:30:59Maybe something like this.

00:31:02Virginia is for lovers, provided those lovers are not from the same family.

00:31:08And that, my friends, is true.

00:31:11It's true, it's true!

00:31:13Look at this crowd here tonight!

00:31:14This is one big family reunion!

00:31:16The Olympic hero, Kurt Angle, not a jaring himself for the crowd in Richmond.

00:31:20I'll tell you, though, Angle and his opponent should get along well.

00:31:23You know why?

00:31:23Why?

00:31:24They both run their mouths a lot.

00:31:25Hardcore Holly.

00:31:27You're right!

00:31:28Looks like he's ready to...

00:31:30speak.

00:31:30Kirk, Kirk, just two things.

00:31:36One, I don't give a rat's ass about your philosophy, and neither do these people.

00:31:43Because they can't understand his philosophy.

00:31:47And two, Virginia might be for lovers, but it sure as hell ain't a place for a 30-year-old

00:31:56virgin who's about to get his ass kicked.

00:31:5930-year-old virgin!

00:32:01I thought that's what he said!

00:32:02It's Hardcore Holly and Kurt Angle, and here we go!

00:32:06Should be a physical matchup on SmackDown.

00:32:08Well, I know for a fact that Kurt Angle is not 30.

00:32:11Ooh!

00:32:12Hardcore Holly looking to make a name for himself against the Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle.

00:32:16They frog up over Holly, kick to the midsection, and Holly's cooking here.

00:32:20Oh, man!

00:32:21What a slam on the Olympic gold medalist.

00:32:24First cover of the matchup, hook of the leg, two, and Angle gets the shoulder up.

00:32:29Earl Hebner's a virgin wrestler.

00:32:31Yeah.

00:32:32Virgin wrestler with his first matchup tonight in his hometown of Richmond.

00:32:35Forced a team with The Rock against DX with the WWF title on the line.

00:32:40Oh, man.

00:32:41You know, King, The Rock dodged the bullet Monday night on Raw.

00:32:43But how in the world is he going to beat three guys here tonight?

00:32:47Triple H, Road Dog, and X-Pac.

00:32:49Well, that's just basically.

00:32:51You said it.

00:32:52He dives it Monday night, but The Rock is not bulletproof.

00:32:55I mean, you throw Earl Hebner out of the mix, basically.

00:32:58He's going to be an odd factor in my mind.

00:33:00So, it's a three-on-one.

00:33:02It's a handicap matchup.

00:33:03You're right.

00:33:04It is a handicap matchup.

00:33:05But it's two against two.

00:33:06How do you figure that?

00:33:07Because you saw Triple H.

00:33:09Oh!

00:33:10Triple H is injured.

00:33:11He's handicapped.

00:33:13Well, King, I've got to ask you.

00:33:14How severe is Triple H's injury?

00:33:15You saw his arm in his sling.

00:33:17A slight shoulder injury.

00:33:18The match against The Rocket Backlash.

00:33:20I have it on good authority that his shoulder is very injured.

00:33:23Well, we saw him do a number on the rock.

00:33:25Oh, man.

00:33:27We saw Triple H do a number on the rock, arm and sling and all inside that steel cage when

00:33:32he got out wrong.

00:33:33Yeah, but he was writhing in pain when he did it.

00:33:35Well, it didn't look like that to me.

00:33:37And Hardcore Holly went back into the ring.

00:33:39And Kurt Angle going to work.

00:33:41Boom!

00:33:41Belly to belly on Hardcore Holly.

00:33:43Hooks the leg.

00:33:44Here's the cover.

00:33:45And a kick out after two.

00:33:47Nonetheless, arm and sling or not, Triple H will compete tonight with X-Pac and Road

00:33:52Dog against The Rock and Earl Hedner.

00:33:53And keep in mind, if Earl Hedner's pinned, or even if he submits, the title changes hands

00:33:59to rush the whole other champion.

00:34:01Right, and it's not if, it's win.

00:34:03Win or Earl Hedner's pinned or smit.

00:34:06What do you think Earl Hedner's going to wear to the ring?

00:34:09He's got some little wrestling tights or something like that?

00:34:11I shudder to think.

00:34:12I mean, come on.

00:34:13He's not an athlete.

00:34:14The only thing athletic about him is his feet.

00:34:17Hardcore Holly up over the top.

00:34:18My sleep frog by Kurt Angle.

00:34:20And Kurt Angle, wait a minute.

00:34:22Looks like he's hurt.

00:34:23He's falling on that knee roll.

00:34:24Stop the match.

00:34:25Stop the match.

00:34:26Kurt Angle favoring that right knee.

00:34:28Yes, the man's too valuable.

00:34:30It's like a thoroughbred.

00:34:31Perhaps somewhere we can see that replay and see if he came down on that knee roll, King.

00:34:36Who's your robot, Laurel Hedner?

00:34:38Hardcore Holly's looking to take advantage of that injured knee of Kurt Angle.

00:34:42All right, Holly, cut it out.

00:34:43Well, he's showing no compassion at all.

00:34:46It's a competitive business, King.

00:34:48You know that.

00:34:49Wait a minute.

00:34:50Hardcore Holly.

00:34:51Kurt Angle.

00:34:52Here's the cover.

00:34:53It's over.

00:34:54Kurt Angle picked up the win.

00:34:58That's intelligence and integrity.

00:35:01Kurt Angle.

00:35:02And hard over Holly with a top kick to Kurt Angle.

00:35:05What's up here?

00:35:06Where's the referee when you need him?

00:35:07He's got Earl Hedner.

00:35:08Well, the referee, in a shoving match with Hardcore Holly, shoved Hardcore right into Kurt Angle.

00:35:14And Angle capitalized, buttoned knee and all.

00:35:17Wait a minute.

00:35:19What's up here?

00:35:21What the hell did Holly do it?

00:35:21Oh, no!

00:35:23Right into the steel chair!

00:35:26Is he crazy?

00:35:30That's a great American hero!

00:35:33Well, his nickname's Hardcore.

00:35:35I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about Kurt Angle!

00:35:37Hardcore Holly loves to fight.

00:35:39He loves to compete.

00:35:40And Kurt Angle is out.

00:35:43Oh, look out, King.

00:35:45Oh, he's easy to back that man up.

00:35:47Handicap matches on the way.

00:35:49Oh, my God!

00:35:49Rickisi in his backside!

00:35:52He's a tag team champ!

00:35:53Agent Christian!

00:35:54Next!

00:35:56In the ring.

00:36:27Available now, wherever videos are sold.

00:36:30Will the Richmond Coliseum be the last place The Rock will visit as WWF champion?

00:36:35It sure looks that way, King.

00:36:37The Rock and Earl Hefner, a referee, to take on DX with a title on the line tonight.

00:36:42It's gonna be huge.

00:36:43It's gonna be bigger than...

00:36:44Well, it's certainly bigger than that statue.

00:36:46It's bigger than this entire Coliseum.

00:36:48It's gonna be great!

00:36:50And here come the tag team champions, Agent Christian, who have become rather full of themselves since they won the

00:36:56tag team titles.

00:37:16They can't do that, that entrance through the people, the people just can't keep their hands off of them.

00:37:23I mean, they're reaching out, pulling their clothes off, tearing their hair out.

00:37:26It's unbelievable.

00:37:27You know, we just want to let all of our fans know that there's absolutely nothing to be alarmed about,

00:37:35because our faces are now absolutely 100% ass-free.

00:37:41Oh-ho, good!

00:37:44So, Rikishi, you will rue the day that you ever decided to wear a thong in the ring, and disgrace

00:37:52the faces that these people love.

00:37:55I thought it was pretty funny.

00:37:56Those faces will be on the cover of People's Magazine, anything, or GQ, or whatever.

00:38:02Agent Christian, handicap action against this man.

00:38:05He weighs in at 424 pounds.

00:38:11Rikishi, Rikishi, for two!

00:38:13Roger Christian, suffered a stick face at the hands of Rikishi this past week on Raw, perhaps another one on

00:38:18the way tonight.

00:38:20Well, WWF Judgment Day is brought to you by Army Mid-World War, the video game by 3DO.

00:38:27Judgment Day will be live May 21st from the sold-out Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky.

00:38:34Well over 400 pounds, Rikishi, set for action.

00:38:37You know, Ken Rikishi, part of a huge card a week from this Saturday in Cincinnati.

00:38:43Saturday night, it's huge.

00:38:44And also Sunday in Columbus, Ohio.

00:38:47Sunday, May 14th, The Rock, the WWF Champion in Columbus, Ohio, week from Sunday as well.

00:38:54Oh, no. Oh, please.

00:38:56As the t-shirt says, back it up.

00:39:00Look at these guys.

00:39:01Can you imagine those nice-looking faces crammed up in that crack?

00:39:04Oh, double-team effort met by a double clothesline by Rikishi and another one.

00:39:09And Rikishi hammering away on Edge and Christian.

00:39:12If that Rikishi's not careful, he'll chip their perfect teeth.

00:39:15Oh, these guys are going to be on the cover of American Dental Magazine.

00:39:19That's pretty good considering they're Canadians.

00:39:20Look out now.

00:39:22The tag team champs in trouble.

00:39:24Oh, over 400 pounds, making an Edge and Christian sandwich.

00:39:29Oh, my gosh.

00:39:30Oh, no.

00:39:30Uh-oh.

00:39:32Get out of there, Edge.

00:39:33Edge is in position.

00:39:35And the stick plays again.

00:39:36Rikishi blocking it up.

00:39:39Get away from me.

00:39:40And the Edge again.

00:39:42Doubles for the facials.

00:39:45You can go.

00:39:47Oh, please.

00:39:48Oh, look out.

00:39:49Rikishi.

00:39:50Christian.

00:39:51It's in trouble.

00:39:53Hey, Christian.

00:39:54Oh, what a spear by Edge.

00:39:55Edge with a tremendous spear.

00:39:57There you go.

00:39:57And a double team to Rikishi.

00:40:00Edge might should just leave the ring and try to watch his face or something quickly.

00:40:04You know, if that stuff gets in your hair, it'll never come out.

00:40:06How do you know?

00:40:07The double team on Rikishi.

00:40:10And as you're Christian, the tag team champions in control.

00:40:13I think your wife called me, Michael.

00:40:14Oh, and a double headbutt to Rikishi.

00:40:19Come on.

00:40:19Hey, Christian.

00:40:20Going for the first cover of the matchup.

00:40:21There's two.

00:40:22And Rikishi kicked out with authority.

00:40:24Oh, my gosh.

00:40:26You know, it's hard enough for you tag team champions and having every tag team in the

00:40:30world wrestling federation gunning for you, can't you?

00:40:33Their arrogance aren't going to make too many friends.

00:40:36It's not arrogance, it's confidence.

00:40:38Rikishi knocked out outside the ring.

00:40:41And the big guy's in trouble.

00:40:42These guys are like rock stars, I'm telling you.

00:40:45The women go crazy when they see them over the top rope.

00:40:47Don't hate them just because they're beautiful, Michael.

00:40:50Delivering the forearm to Rikishi.

00:40:52I don't hate them because they're beautiful.

00:40:52I just don't like their attitude.

00:40:54Look at that cottage cheese.

00:40:55Oh, no!

00:40:56And shoulder first into the ring post.

00:40:59Referee Jimmy Corneira is in modesty to the count as Rikishi delivers the right hand

00:41:04to Christian.

00:41:06Rikishi back into the ring.

00:41:09Referee calling for the bell.

00:41:11What happened?

00:41:12Rikishi picks up the win.

00:41:14Order of the tracker is on the ring count.

00:41:18It's another 0-head to referee.

00:41:20Oh, and Christian counted out.

00:41:21But now the double team continues on Rikishi.

00:41:25You know what?

00:41:26I'd fire every one of these stupid referees over me.

00:41:28Why?

00:41:28That was a fine call.

00:41:30What are you talking about?

00:41:31It was counted out of the ring.

00:41:32Oh, here we go.

00:41:33Oh, look out.

00:41:34Look out now.

00:41:35Remember Backlash, King.

00:41:36The ring is back.

00:41:37Edge using the bell.

00:41:38Delivering stitches to Edge Park.

00:41:40Look at that.

00:41:40Too cool.

00:41:42Rikishi's running buddy.

00:41:43Back to the face of Edge.

00:41:47Christian, look out.

00:41:48And Christian into the corner.

00:41:50Scotty, too high.

00:41:52Face first.

00:41:54Listen to this crowd.

00:41:55Look at that face.

00:41:58You know what this means?

00:41:59He's getting worse.

00:42:00W.

00:42:01O.

00:42:02R.

00:42:03EW in the world.

00:42:10Bang.

00:42:11Scotty, too high.

00:42:12With the shock to Christian.

00:42:14Rikishi in two cool cleaning house.

00:42:19And the tag team champions escape and dodge with the title.

00:42:24They don't deserve to be treated like this.

00:42:28That's a jealousy.

00:42:29Rikishi wants more.

00:42:34Rikishi wants some more.

00:42:35Yeah.

00:42:35But you know what the crowd wants.

00:42:36Rikishi wants some more food is what he wants.

00:42:40He's doing it again.

00:42:41Survival of the fantasy.

00:42:43Oh, no.

00:42:44He's gonna dance.

00:42:51And there are the shades.

00:42:52Oh.

00:42:52And you know what's happening when the shades go on?

00:42:57Yeah.

00:42:58You can read it on the Richter scale.

00:43:01It's a transformation for Rikishi.

00:43:03You're half right.

00:43:05Came the first time in a long time.

00:43:09Did Grandmaster Sex-Aid's knee surgery?

00:43:12That they boogie it down in the ring.

00:43:17Well, out of these morons here at Richter's gonna be having a good time now.

00:43:21And you know, King and Hell, it looks like Grandmaster Sex-Aid wants to step it all.

00:43:24Well, there'll be no, there'll be no dances later on when your hometown boy Earl Hefner gets out here.

00:43:30Earl Hefner of the Rock against Triple H, Road Dogg, and Xbox.

00:43:34Yes!

00:43:34With the WWF title on the line.

00:43:37And check it out.

00:43:44Oh, he's got some moves, don't he?

00:43:46Yeah, but can't he remember that?

00:43:50Riverdance!

00:43:50Looking good, looking good.

00:43:52You know, to our chick is kind of thirsty.

00:43:54Yeah?

00:43:54I don't have a dollar or a quarter or anything like that.

00:44:02Ka-choo!

00:44:03Bo-do-wa!

00:44:04I love how you hide things like that.

00:44:06What is...

00:44:06Isn't that clever?

00:44:08It is.

00:44:10Excuse us.

00:44:12Excuse you?

00:44:13Uh-oh!

00:44:13There's no excuse for you.

00:44:15The way you treat women and try to, you know, you put them through tables.

00:44:20I don't know who you think you're talking to, but these are two girls that you don't mess

00:44:26with.

00:44:27You know, it's pretty pathetic when two men have to pick on women to make themselves feel

00:44:33strong and powerful.

00:44:35Did you hear us?

00:44:36Tell them, Tor.

00:44:38Pathetic.

00:44:39Read my lips.

00:44:39Pa-thetic.

00:44:41You're a poor excuse for men.

00:44:46Hmph.

00:44:49Hey, man.

00:44:51You're out of your mind.

00:44:53Do you know what the repercussion is of putting that girl through a table?

00:44:57You don't think you would, do you?

00:45:00Would!

00:45:03And now, the WWF Food of the Week, brought to you by Lugz.

00:45:07That's Lugz.

00:45:07Rugged boots and shoes with an attitude, since you never know where you'll end up.

00:45:12Where your Lugz at?

00:45:14Chris, save yourself!

00:45:15Chris, let's go!

00:45:16Go ahead!

00:45:17Oh, she didn't break it!

00:45:18Oh, she's the...

00:45:19Kits everybody inside!

00:45:20Oh, look at Bubba's face!

00:45:22Wait a minute!

00:45:23I think I said come!

00:45:25They did it!

00:45:26Oh, no!

00:45:27No, I didn't know!

00:45:28Bubba's had the hell with him!

00:45:29The punter hockey!

00:45:31He will score!

00:45:33Oh, look at Bubba!

00:45:35Lugz.

00:45:36Decide and conquer.

00:45:39Okay, miraculously, Stratus was shaking him badly, but nothing was broken.

00:45:43But did you see the look in Bubba Ray's eyes before the break?

00:45:46He was looking at Stephanie McMahon, how's he scoring?

00:45:50Yeah, I did!

00:45:51That was scary!

00:45:52That was a good idea!

00:46:05Well, Michael, tonight, WWF's back down and showed you guys, 1-800-COLLECT!

00:46:15It's the easy way to say, and by Wiener Nutrition, the science of building a better body,

00:46:21save 20% on all Metaform and Wiener products at GST stores until June 1st.

00:46:25And by The Rock, the People's Champ, now available from WWF Home Video.

00:46:31Look for it on VHS, DVD, wherever videos are sold.

00:46:35I was asking about Bubba Ray Dunn, but you don't think he'd actually think about Stephanie and Tony.

00:46:39Well, your actual words were, you said, you don't think he would.

00:46:42You said would.

00:46:44Right.

00:46:44You don't know what he thinks about winning, I think he would.

00:46:4730 pounds, 30 pounds.

00:46:50So TNA on their way to the ring alone, Trish Stratis obviously is still out of action.

00:46:55Yeah, to me, TNA just ain't the same without Trish.

00:47:01Well, TNA got some measure of revenge against the Dudley Boys on Raw this past Monday night.

00:47:07But a tremendous matchup here, TNA against the Hardy Boys,

00:47:10is an important match for both these teams, Kang, as they look to climb into contention for the tag team

00:47:15titles held by Edge and Christian.

00:47:19Well, talk about how Edge and Christian are, I mean, they're like rock stars.

00:47:24You saw the reaction of the young girls out here as Edge and Christian came down, but the Hardys get

00:47:31a similar reaction.

00:47:32And very much so.

00:47:34And it's Matt Hardy and Albert locking it up in the center of the red.

00:47:38So the Rock teams with referee Earl Hebner tonight will take on Triple H and D-Generation X with the

00:47:45World Wrestling Federation title on the line.

00:47:47I mean, it's going to be funny.

00:47:49Earl Hebner couldn't beat a drum.

00:47:51You know that.

00:47:51Well, Earl Hebner, if he's pinned or submits, the Rock loses the title plain and simple.

00:47:56It's just going to be a matter of time.

00:47:57Can you just visualize this?

00:48:00Earl Hebner trying to do the referee's elbow or cocking the referee's eyebrow.

00:48:07Well, think about it, Kang.

00:48:08I mean, if the Rock chooses to make a tag tonight, Earl Hebner, the Rock's championship's a goner.

00:48:13Right.

00:48:13If he doesn't make the tag, then it's a three-on-one.

00:48:15So the Rock is damned if he does.

00:48:17He's damned if he doesn't.

00:48:18What does he do?

00:48:19He's damned.

00:48:21Albert misses with the right hand.

00:48:22Matt Hardy sliding underneath the bottom rope and drawing Albert out inside the ring.

00:48:26There's the tag to Jeff.

00:48:28Albert never saw the tag made.

00:48:30That looked like a clashed out, chasing a thoroughbred.

00:48:33And Jeff Hardy from behind, and it allows the Hardy Boys to double-team the 360-pound Albert.

00:48:37Oh, look out.

00:48:38Whipped across the ring.

00:48:40It is Hardy Boys.

00:48:44Two great teams.

00:48:45Jeff Hardy covered.

00:48:46Check out with authority by Albert.

00:48:48Well, I'm glad he landed on the referee because the Gatsby is more benefician.

00:48:52And look at the strength of Albert.

00:48:54TNA with the strength.

00:48:55Hardy Boys with the quickness.

00:48:58Boom, look at that.

00:48:59But look at Jeff laying it on his feet.

00:49:01That's a kick in the face.

00:49:02Oh, man.

00:49:04I can't believe it.

00:49:05I'm impressed every single night I watch these Hardy Boys.

00:49:08Watch Jeff Hardy fly there.

00:49:10Right into the face of them.

00:49:12A, O.

00:49:14Jeff Hardy delivering the right-handed test.

00:49:17T.

00:49:18And here's the right hand to the face of Albert.

00:49:21And look out.

00:49:22Jeff Hardy's out there.

00:49:24No man's last.

00:49:26Trying to counter Albert.

00:49:27And look at the tremendous strength of Albert.

00:49:31Oh, man.

00:49:31What a power bomb.

00:49:33Oh, man.

00:49:34It is right.

00:49:35And Albert with the cover.

00:49:37This should be over.

00:49:37And Matt Hardy breaks up the three count.

00:49:40Come on, man.

00:49:42We'll be in the car.

00:49:43Take a look at the power of Albert's day.

00:49:47And the double-team by TNA on Jeff Hardy.

00:49:51Not just the power of Albert.

00:49:52Look at the size of Albert's head.

00:49:54The biggest I've ever seen.

00:49:55JR told me that Albert wore an eight and three-eighths size football helmet in college.

00:50:01That's huge.

00:50:03Oh, look at that full-knows and slam.

00:50:05Hook of the leg by Tiss, two.

00:50:07And Jeff Hardy somehow kicks out.

00:50:09Well, because that was about a five count.

00:50:12You know these referees like Teddy Long?

00:50:15These guys look at Earl Hedner as their role model.

00:50:17Well, you don't have to worry about Earl Hedner any more here tonight because Earl Hedner's wrestling.

00:50:21He's not refereeing.

00:50:22The senior official of the World Wrestling Federation is dying wrestling types here tonight.

00:50:27And he's going to team with The Rock.

00:50:29You're right.

00:50:29Earl Hedner will never be a role model wrestler.

00:50:32You know, Earl Hedner is in the prime of his referee career right now.

00:50:36What?

00:50:36But he's not in the prime of his athletic career.

00:50:38You got that right.

00:50:40I mean, he weighs 140 pounds soaking wet, as he said earlier on.

00:50:44And he's being forced into a WWF Championship match.

00:50:48We got Jeff Hardy taking it out of Albert.

00:50:52The Hardy boys love to fly.

00:50:54And what a maneuver.

00:50:57They play first class, too.

00:50:58Yeah, they're daredevils.

00:51:01Jeff needs to make a tag to his partner, Matt, his brother.

00:51:04And A needs to make a tag to T.

00:51:08The Hardy boys were never supposed to be here.

00:51:10King made her long shots.

00:51:12Tag.

00:51:12Oh, look at this.

00:51:13Jeff nervous from the hills of North Carolina.

00:51:16And here's Matt Hardy.

00:51:18Jeff misses right hand.

00:51:19Matt Hardy counters.

00:51:22And again.

00:51:23Look at that hair bullet.

00:51:24Kick to the midsection.

00:51:26Oh, man.

00:51:28I think there should be a significant amount for that hair.

00:51:30Oh, look at that.

00:51:32A swinging DDT by Matt Hardy.

00:51:35Oh, 8-3-8's got it in.

00:51:37Oh, man.

00:51:39This is a pretty debate.

00:51:40Cover.

00:51:41Two.

00:51:42And Albert breaks up the three count.

00:51:44What a tremendous matchup by two tremendous tag teams.

00:51:49And Matt Hardy and Test exchanging blows.

00:51:52Jeff Hardy outside the ring.

00:51:53And it allows the double team here for T and A.

00:51:55Right into the corner.

00:51:57Look at Albert.

00:51:58Look at Albert.

00:51:59With that right uppercut.

00:52:01And T and A.

00:52:03There's that pump handle.

00:52:05Oh, look out.

00:52:07Hey, wait, wait.

00:52:08Jeff Hardy, let go.

00:52:09Jeff got his brother.

00:52:10Albert makes it pay.

00:52:12Oh, what a slam by Kent.

00:52:14Look out.

00:52:15Jeff Hardy comes right off.

00:52:17You idiot.

00:52:18And there it is.

00:52:19And there it is.

00:52:19Oh, boy.

00:52:20For the back of the pass.

00:52:22Oh, yes.

00:52:23Referee never saw it.

00:52:25Matt Hardy with the cover.

00:52:26There's two.

00:52:27And it's over.

00:52:28The Hardy boys defeats T and A.

00:52:31And right.

00:52:32The rest of the players have been hectorized.

00:52:34No, because he was arguing with Albert.

00:52:36He's hectorized.

00:52:37Albert may have cost his own part in the matchup

00:52:39by arguing with the referee.

00:52:42But this does not look good for Matt Hardy.

00:52:45T and A with a double team.

00:52:48I'll tell you, T and A King have been in foul moods

00:52:52since the injury to Trish and Backlash.

00:52:54Yeah, I wonder what she's thinking watching this.

00:52:58Oh, look out.

00:53:00Tremendous strength by Albert.

00:53:03Oh, man.

00:53:06Where is he going?

00:53:07I don't know, but do you think the referee

00:53:08should be allowing this?

00:53:10He had to step right in there to start his authority.

00:53:12But no, he hemorrhaged.

00:53:14Oh, what an elbow by 10.

00:53:18Well, the Hardy boys won the matchup.

00:53:20But T and A sent it a serious message.

00:53:24Okay, speaking of Earl Hetner,

00:53:26Jonathan Coachman standing by with Earl Hetner.

00:53:29This is going to be an interesting interview.

00:53:32Earl, I can't even imagine how you're feeling right now.

00:53:35Imagine how I'm feeling.

00:53:36How in the hell would you be feeling

00:53:38if you had to go out there

00:53:39and do something that you don't do?

00:53:41I'm a referee.

00:53:42I'm not a wrestler.

00:53:43And they are forcing me,

00:53:45forcing me,

00:53:46to go out there

00:53:47and get my ass kicked

00:53:49or lose my job.

00:53:51Now, if you do get your ass kicked tonight

00:53:52and are covered one, two, three

00:53:54in the middle of the ring,

00:53:55how are you going to feel

00:53:56about being the person

00:53:56that single-handedly cost The Rock

00:53:58his title?

00:53:59I'm going to feel awful.

00:54:00But what kind of condition

00:54:02am I going to be in

00:54:03to make a living for my family?

00:54:04Tell me.

00:54:05Tell me.

00:54:06All I've got to say is good luck.

00:54:08Good luck, girl.

00:54:10And now,

00:54:11the fastest slam of the week

00:54:13brought to you by Western Union.

00:54:14The fastest way to send money worldwide.

00:54:17The WWE title

00:54:18about to be decided.

00:54:19The only way to win this match

00:54:20is to escape the cage.

00:54:23Oh, my God!

00:54:24Come on, come on, come on, come on!

00:54:25Oh, my God!

00:54:26He's on the top of the cage!

00:54:29Can he make this?

00:54:30Yes!

00:54:31Yes!

00:54:31The Rock has dodged

00:54:33a fatal bullet!

00:54:36Well, King,

00:54:37The Rock dodged the bullet

00:54:38on Raw this past Monday night.

00:54:39I don't know if he'll have

00:54:41the same fate

00:54:42here on SmackDown.

00:54:43Did you hear Earl Hefner earlier?

00:54:45He said,

00:54:45I'm not a wrestler.

00:54:47He can't even pronounce

00:54:48as much as a fan of people.

00:54:49Hey, what?

00:54:50What is this?

00:54:52Hey, what is this?

00:54:53I don't...

00:54:55Oh, no.

00:58:02You don't wanna make it mad!

00:58:03Oh!

00:58:12All right, uh,

00:58:13here, come here, have a seat up.

00:58:15I hope you weren't roughed up.

00:58:16Sit down!

00:58:16Come on, I hope you weren't roughed up

00:58:17or anything like that coming over

00:58:19and nobody harmed you up.

00:58:21It's all right, just have a seat, relax, all right?

00:58:24Now, I just wanted to say that, uh,

00:58:27I hope there aren't any hard feelings

00:58:28between you and me

00:58:29because, I mean, let's face it,

00:58:31I've just gotta do

00:58:32what I've gotta do.

00:58:34You understand that.

00:58:36And this being your first match and all that,

00:58:37I would imagine you're a little bit nervous.

00:58:41I mean, let's face it,

00:58:43you're in there against

00:58:44some pretty damn tough individuals

00:58:47and I really hope you don't get hurt.

00:58:50And I hope you don't lose

00:58:53The Rock's WWF Championship.

00:58:56But if you do, Earl, I know

00:58:59and everybody else knows

00:59:00you would have tried your best.

00:59:04So, good luck to you tonight, Earl, okay?

00:59:08Good luck to you.

00:59:14There's Crash Holly.

00:59:15He's all excited.

00:59:16He didn't have to defend

00:59:17the hardcore title here tonight on SmackDown.

00:59:19I know, he's going home early.

00:59:20He's happy.

00:59:21Well, the only title to be defended 24-7

00:59:23in the World Wrestling Federation,

00:59:25the hardcore title,

00:59:25but, yeah, Crash Holly

00:59:27have been paranoid as of late.

00:59:28I guess we'll get to watch him

00:59:29shoot some hoops.

00:59:30Oh, he's horrible.

00:59:31Pretty bad.

00:59:33Crash Holly's been looking over

00:59:34his shoulder the last few days.

00:59:35You saw him on Raw Monday night

00:59:37doing an interview.

00:59:37He was accusing me

00:59:38of looking at him weird.

00:59:40Well, now what's he gonna do?

00:59:42Oh, you're kidding me.

00:59:45Oh, wait a minute.

00:59:46Hey, that's Dave Milenko

00:59:48with a referee

00:59:50and a cover.

00:59:51What are they in?

00:59:53There's some sort of funhouse,

00:59:54but the hardcore title's on the line.

00:59:57Look at this.

00:59:58Crash Holly

00:59:59defending against Dave Milenko.

01:00:03That's like one of those

01:00:04moonwalk things.

01:00:05Remember the 24-7 rule.

01:00:08Oh, my.

01:00:08What a cheat buster.

01:00:09And Crash Holly

01:00:11to Houdini

01:00:13of hardcore.

01:00:14Well, I know Crash

01:00:14has been getting jumpy.

01:00:16That's roof it.

01:00:16Well, he's trying to escape again

01:00:18and he's coming out here, King.

01:00:20And Dave Milenko

01:00:21the lightweight champion

01:00:22in pursuit.

01:00:24Crash, where are you?

01:00:25So Dave Milenko

01:00:26going for two titles.

01:00:28Trying to gain

01:00:29the hardcore title.

01:00:30Oh.

01:00:32He got caught.

01:00:33Did he get caught?

01:00:34I'm letting that on roll

01:00:35with Steve Blackman

01:00:36attacking hardcore Holly.

01:00:38And there's a cover

01:00:39and a kick out.

01:00:40In fact, King,

01:00:41Jonathan Ogden

01:00:42of the Baltimore Ravens

01:00:44trying to pin Crash Holly.

01:00:46Move out of the way there, Scotty.

01:00:47Was that Scotty too hot?

01:00:48Looked like him.

01:00:49And Milenko

01:00:50tossing Crash Holly,

01:00:51the hardcore champion.

01:00:52Remember.

01:00:53Oh, my God.

01:00:55Into the shoulder

01:00:56goes Crash.

01:00:57Into the stairs

01:00:57goes Crash Holly.

01:01:00Hardcore titles on the line.

01:01:02No hope barred

01:01:03ball count anywhere.

01:01:05I'll tell you,

01:01:06no wonder Crash Holly's

01:01:07he's nuts.

01:01:08He's paranoid.

01:01:09Because he's a wanted man.

01:01:11Well, he couldn't even

01:01:12enjoy himself

01:01:13over that little fun part there.

01:01:15Look at this.

01:01:17If I'm not mistaken,

01:01:18Dean Milenko

01:01:19could become

01:01:20a double champion here.

01:01:21Crash Holly favor

01:01:22in that shoulder

01:01:22after being whipped

01:01:23into the steel step.

01:01:24There's the reversal.

01:01:25Milenko.

01:01:26And look out.

01:01:27Crash Holly up over the top.

01:01:29Oh.

01:01:30Milenko,

01:01:30the light heavyweight champion,

01:01:32trying to win

01:01:32his second title

01:01:33in the World Wrestling Federation

01:01:34here tonight.

01:01:35I'm afraid somebody's

01:01:36supposed to get trashed here.

01:01:39And Milenko.

01:01:40Oh, what a counter

01:01:41by Crash Holly.

01:01:43You know,

01:01:43Milenko's running buddy

01:01:44with the Radicals,

01:01:45Chris Benoit,

01:01:46lost the Intercontinental title

01:01:47earlier on this evening

01:01:49to Chris Jericho.

01:01:49Hey, hey, hey.

01:01:50Look who's coming down.

01:01:51Who's coming?

01:01:51Hey, look out.

01:01:52Oh, what a twoplex.

01:01:53It's Perry Saturn.

01:01:55Another Radical.

01:01:55Yeah, another Radical.

01:01:56Hey, wait a minute.

01:01:58Saturn just pulled

01:01:59Milenko off Crash Holly.

01:02:01Who wants to be

01:02:01the Hardcore champion

01:02:02himself?

01:02:03And Perry Saturn

01:02:03wants the title.

01:02:05Oh, man.

01:02:07Brain Buster

01:02:08by Saturn.

01:02:09One, two, three.

01:02:10No.

01:02:10And Milenko.

01:02:11And what are you doing?

01:02:13In an argument

01:02:14between the Radicals.

01:02:16Well, Saturn's

01:02:16the only Radical

01:02:17that doesn't have a title.

01:02:18He wants a championship

01:02:19for his own.

01:02:21Look out.

01:02:22From behind.

01:02:23Crash Holly.

01:02:24One, two, three.

01:02:24Milenko.

01:02:25It's over.

01:02:26Crash retains the title.

01:02:27The Houdini of Hardcore.

01:02:29The Houdini of Hardcore.

01:02:32The Houdini of Hardcore.

01:02:34The Houdini of Hardcore.

01:02:34You can't believe it.

01:02:37Watch it, Perry.

01:02:38That rep will get up,

01:02:38push you down.

01:02:39He's Hidnerized.

01:02:41And perhaps the strain

01:02:43of not having a title.

01:02:44That's the Perry Saturn.

01:02:45Oh, look at this.

01:02:46Here comes

01:02:47here comes

01:02:47Earl Hedner's Colt.

01:02:51Earl Hedner.

01:02:52See how they all

01:02:52dress alike.

01:02:54Hey, Shane.

01:02:55You see what I've been

01:02:55doing lately?

01:02:56Show Kesey.

01:02:57Show me on the barbant.

01:02:58I mean, it's great.

01:02:59What do you think?

01:03:00What do I think?

01:03:04We're back on SmackDown.

01:03:06King, and before the break,

01:03:07Big Show asked Shane McMahon

01:03:08what he thought about

01:03:09his latest antics.

01:03:10Well, this is what happened.

01:03:12What do you think?

01:03:13What do I think?

01:03:17You know, Show,

01:03:18I'll tell you what I think.

01:03:19I think you let me down

01:03:20at WrestleMania.

01:03:21See, I wanted,

01:03:22I wanted to make you someone.

01:03:23I gave you the opportunity

01:03:24to become someone,

01:03:26to become the World Wrestling

01:03:27Federation Champion.

01:03:28And what happened?

01:03:28What happened, Show,

01:03:29in the Fatal 4-Way

01:03:30Elimination Match-Up?

01:03:31What happened?

01:03:32You were the first man

01:03:33eliminated.

01:03:34That's embarrassing.

01:03:35That was embarrassing to me.

01:03:37You know, then after that,

01:03:38you say, hey, Shane,

01:03:39I want to go out on my own.

01:03:40You know, I want to

01:03:41entertain the public.

01:03:42And look at yourself.

01:03:43You've been a fool.

01:03:44Do you think you're actually

01:03:45entertaining the public?

01:03:46No, I don't think

01:03:47you're entertaining at all.

01:03:48You know what I think, Show?

01:03:49You know, I think that you are

01:03:51a pathetic, pea-brained,

01:03:58waste of perfectly good oxygen,

01:04:03an unmotivated slob.

01:04:07And no one, none of those people

01:04:10will ever care about anything

01:04:13that you do out there, Show.

01:04:14Your performance, nothing.

01:04:16And why?

01:04:17Because you don't deserve it.

01:04:20That's what I think.

01:04:24I think Big Show's about to fry.

01:04:26I mean, a bit harsh by Shane.

01:04:29I got to tell you,

01:04:30first of all, I can't believe

01:04:31that Shane stood right

01:04:32in the Big Show's face

01:04:33and called him pathetic.

01:04:35But I mean, that's the way

01:04:36Shane feels.

01:04:37He put the Big Show in his place.

01:04:39King, I have to admit,

01:04:39I mean, the Big Show's been

01:04:40entertaining as of late.

01:04:42I think he's been a riot.

01:04:43Well, Shane doesn't think so.

01:04:45Shane thinks he's been

01:04:46a huge disappointment.

01:04:48Earl Hebner, rocked,

01:04:50moments away.

01:04:52And it really seems, rocked,

01:04:54as if the McMahon-Helmsley faction

01:04:56is putting the screws to you

01:04:58like never before.

01:04:59Honestly, I don't know how

01:05:00you're going to be able

01:05:01to get out of this one.

01:05:19Once again,

01:05:20the deck is stacked

01:05:22against The Rock.

01:05:22Once again,

01:05:23all odds against The Rock.

01:05:25If The Rock gets beat tonight,

01:05:27he loses the WWF title.

01:05:28If Earl Hebner gets beat tonight,

01:05:30The Rock loses

01:05:31the WWF title.

01:05:33Well, The Rock says this,

01:05:35Vince McMahon,

01:05:35what you're failing to realize

01:05:36is The Rock isn't going to lose

01:05:38the WWF title.

01:05:45And you come out on The Rock show,

01:05:47you come out on SmackDown,

01:05:48and you run your mouth.

01:05:49You run your mouth about

01:05:50Patrick Henry.

01:05:51Yes, he did, Vince, say,

01:05:53give me liberty

01:05:53or give me death.

01:05:54Well, The Rock has a little

01:05:55saying of his own,

01:05:56and it goes like this,

01:05:57give The Rock X5,

01:05:58give him Road Dogg,

01:05:59give him Triple H,

01:05:59roll him all up in the ball,

01:06:01and shove him straight up

01:06:01your candy ass.

01:06:25If you smell what The Rock is cooking.

01:06:33King The Rock's championship reign

01:06:35may last just a few minutes longer.

01:06:39The entire McMahon healthy faction

01:06:42on a triple bass.

01:06:44Give me that champion.

01:06:45It's Pac,

01:06:46Road Dog,

01:06:46Trace versus Rock and Earl.

01:06:48Next.

01:06:49Woo!

01:06:50Woo!

01:06:54Woo!

01:06:55Woo!

01:06:57Woo!

01:07:16And now the WWF smack of the night

01:07:19presented by Milk

01:07:20with nine essential nutrients

01:07:21for active bodies.

01:07:23Got Milk?

01:07:23Gulp it down.

01:07:24Tonight,

01:07:26Earl Hebner

01:07:26will have his very first

01:07:28wrestling match.

01:07:30You gotta be kidding this!

01:07:31Earl's tag team partner

01:07:32will be...

01:07:33The Rock!

01:07:33If The Rock's shoulders

01:07:34are pinned to the match,

01:07:35Earl Hebner's shoulders

01:07:36are pinned for the one,

01:07:37two, three.

01:07:38The Rock

01:07:38loses the WWF championship.

01:07:58And the two,

01:08:05The Rock did not leave the World Wrestling Federation title.

01:08:09And two, make Earl Hebner pay, they can accomplish Bojo's goal in this match.

01:08:15I'm afraid we're going to see more Earl Hebner pay and pay dearly.

01:08:20It is The Rock and Earl Hebner against Triple H, Road Dog, and X-Pac.

01:08:27Triple H comes to the B&E cap tag team match, and it is for the World Wrestling Federation

01:08:34and Champions, the industry in the ring, made accompanied by Tori, Stephanie McMahon-Helphly,

01:08:41Shane McMahon, Vince McMahon, Ed Patterson and Gerald Briscoe, and a combined weight of 726 pounds,

01:08:50the Road Dogg, Jissy Jays, X-Pac, and Triple H.

01:08:56How many members are out there? The entire machine? We'll count them, we'll see.

01:09:00Give me one, two, three, four.

01:09:03It's unbelievable! There's safety in numbers, you know that, Dr. Michael.

01:09:07It's a history-making match. First of its time to meet type of rules in the World Wrestling Federation,

01:09:13and that man, Vince McMahon, made the match.

01:09:16Here's the match!

01:09:29Jake, the Rock has had his back against the wall before, but never.

01:09:33Here's the World Wrestling Federation's champion.

01:09:41Jake, the Rock has had his back against the wall before, but never.

01:09:46And I mean, never has the Rock ever had to face odds like he does here tonight on SmackDown.

01:09:54I hate to agree with you, but you're exactly right.

01:09:56The Rock doesn't have his back against the wall tonight.

01:09:58He's got his back against Earl Hebner.

01:10:01And look at Earl, he looks like a little scared puppy.

01:10:03Earl.

01:10:04Earl Hebner is not a wrestler, he's a referee.

01:10:07The senior official of the World Wrestling Federation forced a team with the Rock in this matchup.

01:10:13The only person that's going to really know how scared Earl Hebner is is whoever does his laundry.

01:10:18Okay, I'll tell you what we need to talk about the rules in this matchup briefly.

01:10:22The World Wrestling Federation title is on the line.

01:10:26Right, if the Rock or Earl Hebner is pinned or submits, the title will change hands.

01:10:33Who gets the title?

01:10:34Whichever member, DX or Triple H, pins either the Rock for Earl Hebner.

01:10:39What an opportunity that is for X-Pac for the Road Dog.

01:10:43They can become the WWF champion tonight, or Triple H can regain the title and listen to this sellout crowd

01:10:49in Richmond.

01:10:51Well, a picture's worth a thousand words.

01:10:53And it's love to see a smile on the face of Vince McMahon.

01:10:56He's happy tonight.

01:10:59Degeneration X, DX, Pac and Road Dog King, arguably the best tag team in the World Wrestling Federation today.

01:11:06Triple H, arm in his sling or not, Triple H is indeed the game.

01:11:11So you're telling me you don't, you don't think you have any of that newly formed tag team?

01:11:16The Rock and Earl Hebner?

01:11:18Earl Hebner's 5'6", 140 pounds.

01:11:21Maybe, if he's got a brick in his pocket.

01:11:24I mean, for all intents and purposes, this matchup is 3-on-1.

01:11:28Hell, it's a 10-on-1 when you count the Regime who's surrounding this ring like vultures waiting to attack.

01:11:34Is there a 10?

01:11:35I don't think, I think there's only 9.

01:11:38And look at the Rock, hammered away on the Road Dog.

01:11:41Here we go.

01:11:42For all intents and purposes, Chang, The Rock is going to have to do it alone.

01:11:48In an elbow, put Road Dogg to The Rock.

01:11:50And The Rock put in for an early victory in this ring.

01:11:52Tag Earl, and he's going to Road Dogg.

01:11:55Look, I think The Rock is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

01:11:58If he tags Earl in, you've got to bet Earl Hebner's going to be pinged in about 2 seconds.

01:12:03So what the hell does The Rock do?

01:12:04Maybe not, maybe Earl can show some flashes of brilliance, maybe he's tougher than we think.

01:12:10But Brahma Bull working on the Road Dogg, and there's a thumb to the eye from the Road Dogg who

01:12:16hammers away on The Rock.

01:12:17And this is going to be the best strategy for DX and Triple H.

01:12:21Quick tag, isolate The Rock in his corner.

01:12:24Come on Earl, what are you doing?

01:12:25What am I talking about?

01:12:26Isolate him in his corner.

01:12:27Earl Hebner's going to be a factor if The Rock can get over there.

01:12:30Oh look, he's about had enough.

01:12:32He's going to pull off and just come on in here.

01:12:34Come on Earl.

01:12:35Today, King, is The Rock's birthday.

01:12:37And what a full birthday present presented by Vince McMahon.

01:12:41The Rock fighting for his life and for his title.

01:12:45Rock ripped off the ropes.

01:12:46Hitchcock misses with the right hand.

01:12:48And look at Rock.

01:12:48Hitchcock misses the right hand.

01:12:50Kupi in.

01:12:50Hooks the leg.

01:12:51And Road Dogg hit that cock.

01:12:54And Triple H delivering a close line with his good arm.

01:12:58Man, what courage does that take?

01:13:00Triple H.

01:13:01It was the game.

01:13:02Triple H.

01:13:04Suffering a slightly separated shoulder and backlash against The Rock.

01:13:08Slightly?

01:13:08What do you mean slightly?

01:13:09Severely?

01:13:10Well, he didn't show too many after effects.

01:13:12With that right hand, he just delivered there in the close line.

01:13:15You call it Mayo Clinic.

01:13:16See what they tell you.

01:13:17Mayo Clinic.

01:13:18His shoulder was nearly pulled out of the sock.

01:13:20The Mayo Clinic's for cancer research, you idiot.

01:13:23And look at Triple H with boots to the midsection of The Rock.

01:13:27Dr. Jim Andrews said he'd never seen a shoulder injury like that in his life.

01:13:31In the game, Herman will lay with his right hand to the Bravo Bull.

01:13:35And The Rock.

01:13:36And here we go.

01:13:37The champion, hammering away on the game.

01:13:40And with his capacity crowd.

01:13:42The Rock is fighting the Smackdown.

01:13:44Now get in there, Earl Hebner.

01:13:46Oh, the Rock's got it down.

01:13:47Here we go.

01:13:48The Rock.

01:13:49Look at Earl Hebner.

01:13:51Go get him all.

01:13:52Go get him all.

01:13:53You idiot.

01:14:10The Rock trying to separate the shoulder even more in the game.

01:14:20The Brahma Bull.

01:14:22Come on, Red.

01:14:23Do something.

01:14:24Oh, look out.

01:14:24X-Pac with a kick to the back of the head.

01:14:27And literally Mike Chioda has his hands full on this one.

01:14:31That's a nickname for Mike Triple H.

01:14:33Yeah, Rock Taggart.

01:14:35Thank you, partner.

01:14:36King, how the hell is Mike Chioda going to keep order in this match?

01:14:39Oh, don't worry about him.

01:14:40He's having her eyes, too.

01:14:41He's part of the cult.

01:14:42X-Pac off the tag.

01:14:44Triple H hurt.

01:14:45And X-Pac works on the ribs of the Bravo Bull to Rock.

01:14:48The W-W-W-W-W championships on the line.

01:14:50Boy, an X-Pac really deserves to be champion.

01:14:53He'd make a great champion.

01:14:55And look at this.

01:14:56Earl Hebner coming in on the Rock.

01:14:58But he might have hurt the Rock there.

01:15:00It allows the double team.

01:15:05The Triple H with a cheap shot.

01:15:07Earl's trying to intimidate the referee.

01:15:08I hate it when somebody does that.

01:15:10Earl's trying to do anything he can to help the Rock team.

01:15:12A man like Mr. McMahon will never try to intimidate a referee.

01:15:16Give me a break.

01:15:19WWF title is on the line.

01:15:21Look at this.

01:15:21Look at Earl.

01:15:22Earl Hebner again into the ring.

01:15:24And again, referee Mike Chioda.

01:15:26And look at Vince McMahon.

01:15:27Yeah, the boss.

01:15:29Real stand-up man for the company, King.

01:15:31See, this is where Earl has no experience being a wrestler.

01:15:34He's hurting his own team.

01:15:36Earl Hebner's trying to help his team.

01:15:38Oh, he's an inbred Virginian.

01:15:39Well, give him some credit.

01:15:40At least he's out there.

01:15:41Yeah, he's out there.

01:15:42Hey, Earl, you got a string hanging off your shirt.

01:15:44Oh, this is our move.

01:15:46He'll be there.

01:15:47And Triple H with a right hand to the Rock.

01:15:50And King, the Rock, has been beaten down systematically.

01:15:53And you have to wonder how much gas has he got left in the tank.

01:15:57He's yet to make a tag to Earl Hebner.

01:16:00Rock knows if he makes a tag.

01:16:01And Earl is pinned.

01:16:02He'll lose the title.

01:16:04I think the Rock's running on empty right now.

01:16:07He's taking on the game.

01:16:08He'll win at DX, three of the superior superstars in the World Wrestling Federation today.

01:16:15You know, the Road Dog would make a great champion too.

01:16:17Look at that.

01:16:18Shake, rattle, and y'all.

01:16:19Here's the cover by the Road Dog.

01:16:21Road Dog could be champion.

01:16:22Killing the Rock kicks out.

01:16:24The Road Dog's a great showman.

01:16:25I could just see kids all over Amanda doing that little juke and dive move.

01:16:29Oh, King, think about what the Rock's been through this week.

01:16:31Sunday at Backlash, that war against Triple H.

01:16:33A steel cage match from the Un-Raw, and now this fiasco.

01:16:37And the Rock's trying to battle back.

01:16:40Well, what a spinning heel kick by X-Pac.

01:16:43Stone Cold helped the Rock win this title.

01:16:45Tonight it's going to Stone Cold.

01:16:47The Rock's got Earl Harden.

01:16:48The Rock is out there in no man's land.

01:16:51The regime surrounds the ring.

01:16:54Here's the man.

01:16:55And all of a sudden, King, Triple H seems like that hurt shoulder's getting a little bit better, doesn't it?

01:17:01No problem with that headlock.

01:17:02It's like a miracle.

01:17:03I told you that Dr. Jim Andrews says,

01:17:05Oh!

01:17:06Summer H has amazing recuperative power.

01:17:08Will you shut up, Miracles?

01:17:09The Rock's in trouble here.

01:17:11Hey, Rock.

01:17:12I forgot to tell you.

01:17:13Happy birthday.

01:17:14And Triple H and DX are picking apart the Brahma Bull.

01:17:19Uh-oh, what's this?

01:17:20And X-Pac wants Earl Hebner.

01:17:22And Earl Hebner wants no part of DX.

01:17:25Get in there, you coward.

01:17:26Not two on one, he said.

01:17:27Better get it back away.

01:17:28Uh-oh.

01:17:29Oh, yeah.

01:17:30Yeah, be a big man, Triple H.

01:17:32Yeah, big bully.

01:17:33Get in there.

01:17:34Oh, come on now.

01:17:35Here's your chance.

01:17:35You're in your hometown.

01:17:36Yeah, what are you going to do to him now?

01:17:39Oh, this is embarrassing.

01:17:42It's humiliating.

01:17:43And The Rock.

01:17:44The Rock battles back.

01:17:45The Rock is battling back.

01:17:47The Cavalry's arrived.

01:17:50It's Puck.

01:17:52Look out.

01:17:53D.A.T.

01:17:54Has the right gone.

01:17:56Hey, what's it even more?

01:17:57Mind buster.

01:17:59He's attacking Shane.

01:18:00Pat Patterson.

01:18:01Patterson and Briscoe.

01:18:03The Rock is clean and receive house.

01:18:06What is going on, Shane?

01:18:07Get out of there.

01:18:10Hey, hey.

01:18:11It's hysterical.

01:18:131-2-J.

01:18:14What's he doing down there, referee?

01:18:16Get him out of here.

01:18:17And this McMahon just flushed Jericho.

01:18:19Oh, look at this.

01:18:21Errol Hefner with a low-blown X-Punk.

01:18:24Errol Hefner with a low-blown X-Punk.

01:18:27Rock bottom.

01:18:28Rock bottom.

01:18:29Rock bottom.

01:18:30It's over.

01:18:32The Rock repays the cover.

01:18:35Rock, rock.

01:18:36It's coming.

01:18:38Here is the man's skill.

01:18:40You're a close-wink of the season.

01:18:44Go work.

01:18:46Errol Hefner with a low-blown.

01:18:48Justice X-Punk was going to do it for a chair shot.

01:18:51Help the Rock retain the title.

01:18:54Isn't that right?

01:18:55This is a nightmare for Vince McMahon.

01:18:58Vince McMahon is furious.

01:19:00Look at that, right?

01:19:01Look at that.

01:19:01Triple H from behind.

01:19:04Come on, the game.

01:19:04Hefner's Road Dogg and X-Punk.

01:19:06Look at him.

01:19:07Hefner trying to run for his life.

01:19:08Errol, run.

01:19:09Yeah, right.

01:19:10Shane and Vince.

01:19:11Errol was trying to run for his life.

01:19:13And he was cut off on the tracks.

01:19:16Chris Jericho lying outside the ring.

01:19:18He's down where he belongs.

01:19:19He should be fired from Strike and Miss McMahon.

01:19:22Look at him.

01:19:23Oh, no.

01:19:24Triple H is insent after losing the title earlier this week to The Rock.

01:19:29And he's taking it out of The Rock.

01:19:30It's all about the title for Triple H.

01:19:33Oh, no.

01:19:34Not the pedigree.

01:19:38Oh, come on now.

01:19:40That's going to be you, Earl.

01:19:41Yeah, yeah.

01:19:42Take your time.

01:19:43Did you hear, Vince?

01:19:45That's going to be you.

01:19:46You guys being forced to watch this.

01:19:49The Rock is out cold, King.

01:19:51Yeah.

01:19:52Earl Hedner just watching his execution.

01:19:54And he's the dead man walking.

01:19:55The Rock retained his title.

01:19:57But he paid for it.

01:19:58You're meant to walk that green mile yourself, Earl.

01:20:00The big man just shoved Earl Hedner into the walls.

01:20:04Uh-oh.

01:20:05Come on.

01:20:06He's 140 pounds, King.

01:20:08What the hell is Triple H and DX going to do to him?

01:20:11That's what Earl Hedner's about to shoot.

01:20:14Wouldn't you be?

01:20:15Yeah.

01:20:15He's scared.

01:20:16He's enough.

01:20:17Earl Hedner is scared to death.

01:20:19He's petrified.

01:20:20Look at this.

01:20:21He's a great dog.

01:20:22Oh, no.

01:20:23Come on.

01:20:24Right in the face of Earl Hedner.

01:20:26A right hand right in the mouth.

01:20:29What the hell did Earl Hedner do to deserve that?

01:20:32What do you mean, what did he do?

01:20:35He screwed Triple H.

01:20:37Oh, yeah.

01:20:38Big man.

01:20:39Yeah, the game.

01:20:40Right hand to a helpless Earl Hedner.

01:20:42What the hell does that prove, King?

01:20:44I'll tell you this.

01:20:44Earl Hedner should have...

01:20:45Uh-oh.

01:20:46Oh, no.

01:20:47He should have never answered the phone when Linda McMahon called him.

01:20:51Earl Hedner's bleeding from the mouth.

01:20:53Somebody stopped it.

01:20:56Oh.

01:20:56He may have internal injuries, King.

01:20:58A broken jaw.

01:21:00Triple H's life is consumed with winning back the WWE title.

01:21:04He blames Earl Hedner for screwing him.

01:21:08This damn street gang attacked and eliminated The Rock.

01:21:11And now they're picking apart Earl.

01:21:12No.

01:21:13Not him.

01:21:15And they're proud of this.

01:21:20King, what else can they possibly do to this poor man?

01:21:23Uh, I'm sure they'll think of something humiliated in front of his hometown crowd by a bunch of bullies.

01:21:31Look at Vince.

01:21:33Yeah, right.

01:21:34He's making an example out of Earl Hedner.

01:21:36Boom.

01:21:38Somebody stop this.

01:21:39What have you got there?

01:21:41This brave guy.

01:21:42Mr. McMahon is almost benignical, King.

01:21:47Road dog.

01:21:49The Rock is helpless.

01:21:51Oh, he's not going to do this.

01:21:52Somebody stop this damn carnage.

01:21:54I told you they're thinking something else to do.

01:21:57Pedigree on a metal chair.

01:21:59Oh, yeah.

01:22:00They may have cracked his skull on a steel chair.

01:22:04What's the point, King?

01:22:05Please tell me what the point is.

01:22:07I don't...

01:22:08Uh-oh.

01:22:08How are they?

01:22:10Linda McMahon reinstated Earl Hedner at Backlash, but that blessing has turned into a curse.

01:22:16Hey, wait a minute.

01:22:17Wait a minute.

01:22:17It's Rikishi.

01:22:18I'm thinking of a curse.

01:22:20Rikishi.

01:22:21I think quite before I got in there, why were you, Rikishi?

01:22:24Well, Rikishi tried to come to the aid of his fallen friend, The Rock.

01:22:27He's trying to do the right thing.

01:22:29He's trying to do the right thing, damn it.

01:22:31Well, he's stupid.

01:22:32Well, he's being outnumbered.

01:22:34That's why he's stupid.

01:22:37Wait a minute.

01:22:38Big Show.

01:22:39Shane.

01:22:40Shane McMahon.

01:22:40The name of the J. King.

01:22:42He told the Big Show he's pathetic.

01:22:45What?

01:22:45Look out.

01:22:46Still got Shane with a hip-hop.

01:22:49That'll show Shane McMahon, right?

01:22:51They're calling Big Show pathetic.

01:22:53And a waste of oxygen.

01:22:55Well, I'll tell you what the Big Show's doing.

01:22:56He's shining his career away.

01:22:58Now Shane's got him.

01:22:59And look at this.

01:23:01Again.

01:23:03Took him down, Shane.

01:23:06The Rock's in La La Land.

01:23:09And now PX.

01:23:11And they take it.

01:23:12The Rock is back up.

01:23:13The Rock's back in it.

01:23:14The Rock's back in it.

01:23:16The Rock's back in it.

01:23:16The Rock's trying to battle back.

01:23:20Oh, no.

01:23:21A low blow.

01:23:23The Rock's not in it.

01:23:24The Rock's not in it.

01:23:26And a low blow to the Big Show.

01:23:30What is going on?

01:23:32Well, there goes Shodan.

01:23:34And I bet he's happy.

01:23:36Look at the maniacal smile on the face of that man.

01:23:41Look out.

01:23:42The Dudley's with a table cane.

01:23:44Stephanie, Tori, look at it.

01:23:46Remember when Stephanie and Tori said that the Dudley's are in the line.

01:23:50And the Dudley's are back.

01:23:51It's payback time.

01:23:53Look at it, Stephanie.

01:23:54The Dudley boys cleaning house.

01:23:57Those Dudley's are fools.

01:23:59Do they realize what they're doing?

01:24:01Look at Bubba Ray.

01:24:02He's actually threatening Vince McMahon.

01:24:04Vince, look at everybody that's in the ring.

01:24:07Make notes.

01:24:08He's doing it.

01:24:09I'm sure he is.

01:24:11Y2J, Rikishi, Big Show, and the damn Dudley's.

01:24:15They'll all have hell to pay for this, Michael.

01:24:17Hey, wait a minute.

01:24:21Coral, Patterson, Frisco.

01:24:22They really don't deserve this kind of treatment.

01:24:24Wait a minute.

01:24:24Look at Rikishi.

01:24:26It serves Patterson and Frisco, right?

01:24:28What?

01:24:28You dance with the devil and you pay.

01:24:32Pat Patterson, a headbutt.

01:24:35They want it back in the regime, King.

01:24:38Well, guess what?

01:24:39What?

01:24:40They're the sacrificial lambs.

01:24:41Come on.

01:24:45And listen to the crowd.

01:24:47They want one.

01:24:49Oh, no, Pat.

01:24:50Pat Patterson.

01:24:52Stinky face on Patterson.

01:24:54Stinky face on Patterson.

01:24:56Ah.

01:24:58Rikishi doing a number on Patterson.

01:25:00What's Devon doing?

01:25:02Oh, no.

01:25:02Devon sitting at the table.

01:25:04Devon and Bubba Wright could get one.

01:25:07The Dudley Boys.

01:25:09Oh, boy.

01:25:11Oh, no.

01:25:14We've seen the Dudley Boys do this to Lita, to Trish.

01:25:18Wait a minute.

01:25:19That's Jerry Briscoe.

01:25:19To Curry.

01:25:20But Briscoe deserves it.

01:25:22Briscoe deserves this.

01:25:23Yes.

01:25:26Bubba Ray driving Gerald Briscoe through a table.

01:25:30Oh.

01:25:31And you know what they say, King?

01:25:33Paybacks are up.

01:25:38Oh, no.

01:25:41EMT is coming down to help out Earl Hegner.

01:25:43But listen to this.

01:25:44He had caught General Briscoe through a table.

01:25:48King, this is one of the darkest days in World Wrestling Federation history.

01:25:54But the battle lines have been drawn.

01:25:57The brutal attack.

01:25:59The heinous attack.

01:26:01Disturbing, all right.

01:26:01Right here in front of his hometown fans.

01:26:03That's what's left of Earl Hegner.

01:26:06I mean, what does that say for the McMahon-Helmsley regime?

01:26:09Oh.

01:26:11He could probably attack.

01:26:13I mean, why attack a man like that?

01:26:15Oh, shot.

01:26:15I just sit up.

01:26:16Watch.

01:26:17Earl Hegner's a referee, King.

01:26:19He's a family man.

01:26:20He was forced into this matchup tonight.

01:26:22Because Vince McMahon has a personal vendetta against Earl Hegner.

01:26:26Because he believes that Earl Hegner cost Triple H the World Wrestling Federation title.

01:26:31Do you know that's a fact?

01:26:32Earl Hegner's first Triple H out of the title.

01:26:35He wanted to be a hero.

01:26:37Then the McMahon called him out.

01:26:38And this is what he got for his trouble.

01:26:40Well, I guarantee you, this is far, far from over.

01:26:44Oh, my God.

01:26:46Okay.

01:26:46Oh.

01:26:47Dude, I'll mug you later.

01:26:47Good to know that heías, guys.

01:26:47It was great for people.

01:26:47If people thought about him, they were fed to the victory of Sloan.

01:26:48And I was just feeling like, so I don't have it.

01:26:48But applying to that scene so he was just actuallyjart,
