00:00:16You know what Lucy, you are the ugliest, smelliest, fattest dog I've ever seen in my life.

00:00:24Your daddy, he might love you, but I hate you.

00:00:32Steph, thanks for bringing my dog. I appreciate it.

00:00:35Lucy's not your dog anymore.

00:00:38According to this court order, Lucy is mine.

00:00:42Tell me what, Steph.

00:00:44What?

00:00:45I'm warning you, do not screw with my dog.

00:00:50What is that smell? It's not the dog's.

00:00:53Oh, no! Oh, no!

00:00:56That's the deal of your office, too.

00:00:58He's pooped!

00:00:59Filthy!

00:00:59Give me your teeth and take them for a while.

00:01:01No! That's nothing!

00:01:02Get her out of here and get someone to clean up this mess!

00:01:06Don't worry, Steph. I took care of the dog. She will be coming back again.

00:01:13I think we hit something!

00:01:15You just hit something.

00:01:16You better go check out the mess you made, Junior.

00:01:19You're in trouble, folks.

00:01:21You ran over Lucy! You ran over Lucy!

00:01:23That's...

00:01:24Triple H is gonna kill me!

00:01:27Get help, you idiot!

00:01:28Lucy!

00:01:29Hold on, hold on, girl, okay?

00:01:31If Triple H dares to come back here,

00:01:34I've got a little something in store for me.

00:01:36For the gay-looking bird,

00:01:38the son of the ex-wife,

00:01:40and here she is!

00:01:41He is!

00:01:41I never wished Lucy any harm!

00:01:43I never wanted anything bad to happen to Lucy!

00:01:47Hunter, I know how much you love your dog!

00:01:49I'm sorry, Hunter!

00:01:51And then Jezebel Wittenberg!

00:01:53Her proverbial skin!

00:01:55Get away!

00:01:56Oh, the Lord of the Roses!

00:01:58This woman has pushed her soon-to-be ex-husband way too far!

00:02:03Oh, my God!

00:02:04It's pedigree time!

00:02:05You cannot do this!

00:02:06Pedigree's on pedigree, all right?

00:02:08Through the canvas!

00:02:09Look out!

00:02:09Oh, no!

00:02:10Oh, Derek caught a sledgehammer!

00:02:12Right on the leg!

00:02:13That's another...

00:02:13Oh, I don't know, that game!

00:02:15That surgically repaired thigh

00:02:17that's got a shot!

00:02:18What strategy?

00:02:19Oh, no, no, no!

00:02:21Oh, my God!

00:02:22That sledgehammer right...

00:02:24Again, right to the leg!

00:02:26The game was out eight months

00:02:27with that quadricep injury!

00:02:30And now Jericho!

00:02:31May have just put the game right back where he was!

00:02:35And that's on the shelf!

00:02:36This is damn pathetic!

00:02:39I mean, it's the act of a desperate man!

00:02:41Does Jericho just...

00:02:41Is he telling us,

00:02:42I can't beat the game at WrestleMania?

00:02:45Man, this is bad!

00:02:46It's damn bad!

00:02:47Man, his shot at WrestleMania may have just...

00:02:49Come on up and smoke!

00:02:54The beautiful people...

00:02:55What are you?

00:02:58The beautiful people!

00:03:00The beautiful people!

00:03:01Hey!

00:03:02Yeah!

00:03:03What do you see?

00:03:05Something beautiful, something strange!

00:03:08Hey!

00:03:09Yeah!

00:03:10Why are you dying in pain?

00:03:12You're living in pain!

00:03:13You're dying in pain!

00:03:14You're dying in pain!

00:03:31We are just 72 hours away!

00:03:34Three days!

00:03:35From WrestleMania!

00:03:37Live!

00:03:37On pay-per-view!

00:03:39And today...

00:03:40He set the tone for the greatest spectacle of sports entertainment

00:03:43with SmackDown from the Gunnarina in Cleveland.

00:03:47Michael Cole, the king at ringside.

00:03:49And, King, could the undisputed title match at WrestleMania

00:03:51be in some sort of jeopardy?

00:03:53Well, this is the way we last saw Triple H on Raw.

00:03:57Things look bad for the game, and I understand that tonight

00:04:00Triple H has an announcement that he's going to make regarding WrestleMania.

00:04:04And I think, Michael, my sources tell me that

00:04:06well, his competing at WrestleMania may be in jeopardy.

00:04:09And Shepardy, yes!

00:04:19Following contests will be scheduled for one call.

00:04:22Biggie is right in the ring for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,

00:04:25weighing in at 237 pounds, Kurt Angle!

00:04:30A major announcement from Triple H tonight regarding WrestleMania.

00:04:34Rumors have been running Rambit King.

00:04:36That Triple H used a title shot while may have got open smoke

00:04:41as J.R. said on Raw Monday night.

00:04:43Well, as I said, Triple H has a major announcement for us tonight,

00:04:47or at least an announcement, and I think we're going to find out.

00:04:52And from Battle Creek, Michigan, weighing in at 235 pounds,

00:05:00Rambit King!

00:05:00Rambit King will make his first appearance ever at a WrestleMania Sunday

00:05:05on Pay-Per-View when he meets William Regal for the Intercontinental title.

00:05:09And Kurt Angle with a huge match at WrestleMania as well against the Big Red Machine Kane.

00:05:15Well, Kurt Angle, I mean, he's got a point to prove here.

00:05:20Kurt Angle, you know what I'm starting to think about these people here in Cleveland?

00:05:23How rude, the reception for Kurt Angle!

00:05:26This man is a role model, this man is an Olympic champion, an Olympic gold medalist!

00:05:30He actually should bow down and, like they used to tell him about me,

00:05:33they should kiss Kurt Angle's feet!

00:05:35Well, Kurt Angle, Kang, made the Big Show tap on Raw Monday night.

00:05:39He is priming ready for Kane, the man he blames for costing him the indisputed title.

00:05:44And Rob Van Dam actually pinned the Intercontinental Champion, William Regal,

00:05:49in a tag team matchup on Raw Monday night.

00:05:51Oh, what a dropkick!

00:05:54I'm gonna tell you something, this Rob Van Dam, he's like a damn slinky!

00:05:58I mean, those, as JR calls him, those educated feet.

00:06:01Well, those educated feet, they can take it to school here tonight by Kurt Angle!

00:06:04What is this?

00:06:05The highly unorthodox movement to Rob Van Dam crossbody, lateral crest,

00:06:09and a kick out by Angle!

00:06:12And I'll tell you one thing, King, as Angle goes up over the top,

00:06:15you were talking earlier about his sources and about all these rumors that are

00:06:19slowly concerning Triple H and this injury sustained at the hands of Jericho Monday night.

00:06:24Well, let's face it, I mean, Triple H, no!

00:06:28Ribs first for Angle, and check out RVD, apron of the ring,

00:06:33Angle in all kinds of trouble on the barricade, and a shot to the band!

00:06:37Is that legal?

00:06:39I mean, we're talking about Triple H, let's face it, I mean, in that match that he had

00:06:44with Y2J, I mean, he just barely got his knee twisted a little bit, and he was out for eight

00:06:49months.

00:06:50Did you see what happened to him overall?

00:06:51Well, I saw that, but look at the athleticism of Rob Van Dam.

00:06:55So, basically, what you're saying, King, is you believe that Triple H is gonna come out here tonight

00:06:58and announce that he's not gonna be involved in this match on Sunday against Jericho because of the injury.

00:07:04I'm saying he may have to, I mean, let's face it, a sledgehammer to the leg?

00:07:08Well, maybe that isn't what the announcement's gonna be at all.

00:07:11I mean, you don't know.

00:07:12Angle into the cover, RVD just gets the shoulder up before the count of three.

00:07:16How'd he do that?

00:07:17I like how Mr. McMahon convinced, hootwinked the board of directors of the World Wrestling Federation

00:07:24Entertainment on Raw Monday night to strip Ric Flair of power, at least until WrestleMania.

00:07:30You did not say that Mr. McMahon hootwinked the board of directors.

00:07:34It was a pretty good sell job in my mind.

00:07:36Look at the elbow to the face by Kurt Angle.

00:07:38Cover on RVD and a kick out.

00:07:40Now granted, Ric Flair has let the emotions get the best of him in recent weeks.

00:07:43He will take on The Undertaker at WrestleMania Sunday, but giving Mr. McMahon absolute control

00:07:50and absolute power for the next few days may not be the best thing.

00:07:52Who did you expect was gonna win that little argument, so to speak?

00:07:56I mean, Mr. McMahon is a veteran corporate speaker.

00:08:00I mean, you know he's used to being in boardrooms, and Ric Flair, let's face it, he's a common wrestler.

00:08:04I mean, what chance did he have?

00:08:06This crowd trying to will Rob Van Damme, a huge match for the Intercontinental title against

00:08:11William Regal, I'm still happy, Brass Knuckles in tow, come Sunday at WrestleMania.

00:08:17What?

00:08:17The Brass Knuckles.

00:08:18Will you give me a break?

00:08:19I hope he has the power of the punch.

00:08:21That's all he'll need.

00:08:22Big match for both men, hoping to build momentum.

00:08:24Hit it into WrestleMania.

00:08:25Speed, he'll kick to the chin of Angle.

00:08:27Up into the corner, here comes RVD with a big shoulder to the gut.

00:08:31Don't you know that Brass Knuckles aren't allowed in Canada?

00:08:33Uh-oh, look out, RVD with a shot to the chin.

00:08:36Some sort of national law or something up there in Canada.

00:08:38Check this out.

00:08:40Little rolling thunder for Rob Van Damme.

00:08:42What the heck?

00:08:43Kurt, the Olympic.

00:08:45Cover by RVD, hook to the leg, and Angle just gets the shoulder up.

00:08:49That was scary.

00:08:50RVD giving Kurt Angle all he can handle and more here.

00:08:53Perhaps took a little bit too much time, allowed Angle to take advantage and all hung up.

00:08:58And over, Angle ducked underneath, good scouting job by Kurt Angle.

00:09:01Into the angle lock.

00:09:02The angle lock locked in on Rob Van Damme.

00:09:04Will Van Damme tap out?

00:09:05He's got to.

00:09:06Tap out.

00:09:06Tap out, Van Damme, damn it.

00:09:08And a great reversal by RVD.

00:09:10He countered it into the small package.

00:09:12Could have him here.

00:09:13What an upset note.

00:09:14A kick out by Angle.

00:09:16And a big clothesline.

00:09:18What a way to kick off SmackDown King three days from WrestleMania.

00:09:23Uh-oh, look out.

00:09:23Here we go.

00:09:24He's had enough.

00:09:25Kurt Angle, the Olympic gold medalist.

00:09:27He is mad now, Michael.

00:09:28Watch this.

00:09:29He is stalking Rob Van Damme.

00:09:32Poor Rob Van Damme.

00:09:33I feel sorry for you, son.

00:09:35Look out.

00:09:35Setting him up for the angle slam.

00:09:37Oh, VD counter.

00:09:38How did he do that?

00:09:39Landed on his feet.

00:09:40A shot to the head of Angle.

00:09:43And Rob Van Damme could be going up high.

00:09:46Kurt.

00:09:47Here comes that froggy thing.

00:09:49Wait a minute.

00:09:50What?

00:09:50It's the damn William Regal.

00:09:52Yeah?

00:09:53And Regal distracting Van Damme.

00:09:55And a belly up the top rope by Kurt Angle.

00:09:58Regal would just do some scouting.

00:09:59Into the angle lock.

00:10:00The angle lock locked in.

00:10:02I'm getting it.

00:10:02Rob Van Damme.

00:10:03Van Damme.

00:10:05With the pressure.

00:10:06There it is.

00:10:08RVD has no choice but to tap.

00:10:10And now William Regal.

00:10:12Hey, the fulcher goes after the falling caucus of Van Damme.

00:10:16I just hope Kane was watching this.

00:10:18Now I'm enjoying watching this.

00:10:20Kurt Angle making the Big Show tap on Raw Monday.

00:10:24RVD here tonight.

00:10:25And William Regal stomping the hell out of his opponent at WrestleMania Sunday.

00:10:30He's not stomping, he's scouting.

00:10:31This is a great scouting report he's getting here.

00:10:33This is incredible.

00:10:34Wait a minute.

00:10:37And here's Angle's opponent at WrestleMania.

00:10:40It's Kane.

00:10:41He's got no business out here.

00:10:44The Big Red Machine making a beeline for Regal.

00:10:48And Kane with the right hands.

00:10:49And Kurt Angle in all kinds of trouble.

00:10:52We got to get that Chris Lee Pratt freak out of here.

00:10:54He's a cheap shot artist.

00:10:55Look at him.

00:10:56And Kurt Angle.

00:10:57He's red, white, and yellow as he scoots away from Kane.

00:11:00Red, white, and yellow.

00:11:01Look at this.

00:11:02Oh, Regal, perhaps protecting himself.

00:11:05Walks right into Kane.

00:11:06Oh.

00:11:07No.

00:11:08Regal goes for the ride.

00:11:09And a chokeslam.

00:11:13Get away, Kurt.

00:11:15Kurt Angle escapes tonight, but there may be no escape Sunday when Angle beats Kane at WrestleMania.

00:11:24I'm the same as you.

00:11:26I mean, I can't wait.

00:11:27Only three more days to WrestleMania.

00:11:29It's almost like Christmas.

00:11:30I can't wait for you to see it.

00:11:32Hey, listen, I better call you back.

00:11:40This is my lucky day.

00:11:42I walk in your ring tonight.

00:11:44The first thing I hear is you want to see me.

00:11:48Well, I do, Rick.

00:11:49I wanted you to see me because I wanted you to see the man who has complete control and complete

00:11:57authority and power here in the World Wrestling Federation as voted by the board of directors.

00:12:01Remember that vote of confidence?

00:12:03That was for me, Rick, because you insisted on having this match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania.

00:12:08Oh, and by the way, since I do have all the power and authority, at least through WrestleMania, allow me

00:12:14to inform you that your match with The Undertaker is now a no disqualification matchup, Rick.

00:12:22But that's at WrestleMania.

00:12:23As far as tonight is concerned, the good news is that since you're just another WWF superstar, I'm giving you

00:12:31tonight off.

00:12:32You don't have to compete at all tonight.

00:12:34I'm not having you wrestle at all.

00:12:36So, uh, have a good night, Rick.

00:12:39You've always got my best interest at heart, don't you?

00:12:41If it's all the same to you, I think I'll stay and watch the show.

00:12:45Although, oh, Rick, it's not all the same to me.

00:12:49I'm not about to take a chance of you and The Undertaker crossing paths tonight.

00:12:55And the reason for that is I am concerned about your safety and welfare, at least until I see you

00:13:03in the ring at WrestleMania.

00:13:04WrestleMania, because it's at WrestleMania, when I personally want to watch The Undertaker rip you limb from limb.

00:13:13Easy?

00:13:16So for your own protection and safety, Rick, there's the door.

00:13:25I'm going to leave.

00:13:28I've already embarrassed the board of directors once.

00:13:32I'm not leaving because you're asking me to.

00:13:35It's because of the World Wrestling Federation and respect that I have for this great company, not you.

00:13:44As a matter of fact, you are that piece of that everybody talks about.

00:13:52Oh, my God.

00:13:54Did you hear what flair called Mr. McMahon?

00:13:56I'm glad he was shown the door.

00:14:14Well, there they are.

00:14:15That's Drowning Pools' Tearaway.

00:14:17And, Michael, that's just one of WrestleMania's theme songs.

00:14:20Drowning Pools, as a matter of fact, going to be performing live at WrestleMania.

00:14:24Yeah, 67,000-plus Toronto Skydome Sunday on pay-per-view.

00:14:29Matter of fact, gang, a little preview now for the fans of what they're going to see in WrestleMania Sunday

00:14:56Oh, Michael, what about her last night on the WWF Divas on the, well, you know, that 6th on the

00:15:02Beach special?

00:15:03Oh, I'm still sweating.

00:15:04Does she look great or what?

00:15:05That's what you were telling me about that you couldn't sleep at all last night.

00:16:18Michael, I know that you for sure will appreciate that boy band music, Chuck and Billy's entrance!

00:16:23J.R. hates it, but, well, I just thought of that, you know, he's got a nice, nice rhythm.

00:16:29You're young, you're hip, you're cool, J.R. just needs a hip replacement!

00:16:33I mean, let's face it, you like NSYNC, you like all those kind of guys, right?

00:16:40Somewhat, somewhat, we're coming down, right in the middle!

00:16:49And being a company to the ring by Stacey Keebler and Yvonne, weighing in at 320 pounds, covering Dudley!

00:17:24At Wrestlemania, the four teams will be involved, the rules are just a little different, King.

00:17:28Once you're eliminated in the matchup, your team has to leave, and the last team standing will win the tag

00:17:34-team titles.

00:17:36So Bubba Ray and Billie gonna start this matchup off.

00:17:40Look at the look on Bubba Ray's face.

00:17:43Hand down, cameraman!

00:17:44See D-Von and Stacey staring into the ring.

00:17:47You see Lita at ringside as well.

00:17:49Lita gonna be involved at Wrestlemania, that huge triple threat matchup for the women's championship.

00:17:54Lita, Trish, and Jazz.

00:17:56Lita could be the next WWF women's champion!

00:17:59Or Trish or Jazz could continue a ring.

00:18:01And then it could be Thong-o-mania at Wrestlemania!

00:18:04Woo!

00:18:05Big knockdown by Bubba Ray Dudley to Billie, one-half of the tag-team champions.

00:18:09Woo!

00:18:10And Bubba Ray, with the right hand, had Billie scouted perfectly there.

00:18:14I didn't realize until last night, watching that Sex on the Beach, that UPN special, that how great Lita's puppies

00:18:19really are!

00:18:19Woo!

00:18:20Lita looked awesome, as did all the other divas.

00:18:22That's right on UPN.

00:18:24Especially Stacey.

00:18:26Mr. McMahon not a bit too power-hungry a little bit earlier on.

00:18:30Oh, basically telling Ric Flair he has to leave the building as Billie Tags and Jeff Hardy perfectly legal in

00:18:35this Fatal 4-Way matchup.

00:18:36I love this kind of match!

00:18:37This is great!

00:18:38As we mentioned earlier, King, explosive night, perhaps, combustible elements are all here.

00:18:44The Rock Stone Cold, the NWO as well.

00:18:48And Jeff Hardy with those big arm drags and a dropkick under the chin to Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:18:52And, of course, that huge announcement on the way tonight from Triple H.

00:18:56And a lot of rumor, speculation, quite erratic, could happen to do with Triple H's match at WrestleMania Sunday for

00:19:04the Undisputed Title.

00:19:04Oh, man, don't worry.

00:19:06I think Triple H will definitely wrestle at WrestleMania.

00:19:10Maybe WrestleMania 19 or 20, something like that, you know.

00:19:13Ooh, what a neckbreaker.

00:19:14I'll tell you, King, Triple H.

00:19:15He can regroup.

00:19:16It'll just take him a year or two to get that leg back to being 100%.

00:19:19Well, two vicious shots from a sledgehammer to that recently injured thigh of Triple H on Raw Monday night by

00:19:25Chris Jericho.

00:19:26Are you ignoring me, Michael?

00:19:27Jeff Hardy with the whisper of the wind and the knockdown of Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:19:30Or do you just not want to face reality?

00:19:31Hello, Michael.

00:19:32Earth to Michael.

00:19:33Well, here Bradshaw with a big knockdown of Jeff Hardy.

00:19:35I'll face reality.

00:19:36And I'll agree with you at one point.

00:19:38Yeah.

00:19:38Triple H has been sequestered most of the week, King.

00:19:41What do you think that means?

00:19:42You can't get a hold of any of his doctors.

00:19:44All his medical records are apparently sealed.

00:19:46And here's the cover, and Bubba Ray breaks up the three counts, and nobody's been able to find out exactly

00:19:51how seriously injured Triple H is.

00:19:52Well, what do we got to do?

00:19:53Hit you over the head with a sledgehammer?

00:19:55Oh, excuse me.

00:19:56That's what happened to his leg, isn't it?

00:19:57But anyway, Michael, that should tell you.

00:19:59All of those little hints, those little subtle hints will tell you that the man is going to, I'm afraid

00:20:05he's going to regrettably have to come out here tonight and pull himself out of WrestleMania.

00:20:09Well, King, maybe I'm the eternal optimist, but I'm hoping that he doesn't have anything to do with his injury.

00:20:13And Triple H is going to come out here and give us some good news as Bradshaw hammers away on

00:20:18Jeff Hardy.

00:20:19He's going to be every team for himself king at WrestleMania.

00:20:22Hey, wait a minute.

00:20:23In that four-corner matchup.

00:20:24You may be right.

00:20:25What?

00:20:25Well, it may be good.

00:20:26Maybe Triple H wants to come out here tonight and, well, maybe he'll renew his wedding vows.

00:20:31You're an idiot.

00:20:32You make me absolutely sick.

00:20:34You know that?

00:20:34And you probably condone what Jericho and Stephanie did to Triple H.

00:20:39Tell me you just didn't say that.

00:20:41Now, you know, I'll let J.R. call me an idiot every now and then from you, Michael.

00:20:44Oh, big knockdown by Bradshaw.

00:20:46Just think about what you just said, King.

00:20:48And what a shot by Bradshaw.

00:20:50Here's the cover on Billy Gunn, and Bubba Ray breaks up the three count.

00:20:53You know, none of this stuff would have happened if he'd have just gone ahead and renewed his wedding vows

00:20:56to begin with.

00:20:56None of this stuff would have happened if Stephanie didn't bring their dog Lucy to the arena Monday night.

00:21:02Oh, what a shot to the chin by Bradshaw.

00:21:05And look at the strength of the big Texan.

00:21:07Well, if you want to get technical, none of this would have happened if that smelly little dog hadn't have

00:21:11pooped on the floor.

00:21:12And none of this would have happened if Chris Jericho would just face Triple H like a man at WrestleMania.

00:21:17And Bradshaw just hearted with a little Dudley move.

00:21:20The what's up.

00:21:22Did he actually do the what's up?

00:21:24Junko a little upset with that.

00:21:25I think that's pending.

00:21:26There you go.

00:21:27Every man for himself in this matchup.

00:21:29A little preview of WrestleMania.

00:21:30Covered by Bubba Ray.

00:21:31It might have him know.

00:21:32Bradshaw just got the shoulder up.

00:21:35It's going to be like sudden death overtime Sunday at Sky Dome in Toronto.

00:21:39Last team standing is going to walk away with the tag team titles.

00:21:44Man, oh, man.

00:21:45All these teams, all four teams at one time have held the tag team championship.

00:21:50The Dudley boys cover on Bradshaw.

00:21:52Hook of the leg and shoulder up for Bradshaw.

00:21:55Dudley boys, perhaps the most decorated team in history, would love those titles back.

00:22:00Wow, what a shot there by Bubba Ray.

00:22:03Bubba Ray controlling Bradshaw here in this matchup.

00:22:06You think they'll get Wood at WrestleMania?

00:22:09The Dudleys, I mean.

00:22:11You know, Wood's legal in Canada.

00:22:13And Bradshaw setting Bubba Ray in for the Superplex.

00:22:17Bubba Ray felt that one.

00:22:19And Bradshaw needs to make a tag, but who do you tag in?

00:22:22Which is your favorite tag team here, Michael?

00:22:24The Hardys.

00:22:25The Hardys is your favorite?

00:22:26Yeah.

00:22:27Go ahead, ask me which is mine.

00:22:29Which is yours.

00:22:30Well, like I told JR, the favorite team here in the WWF of mine is Stacey Keebler's left leg and

00:22:35her right leg.

00:22:37Look at that, wow, baby.

00:22:38What about Lita?

00:22:40Yeah, those aren't bad either.

00:22:42And Billy in on the tag, right hands to Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:22:45Billy, of course, a tremendous athlete.

00:22:47One half of the reigning tag team champions.

00:22:49Look out.

00:22:50The bubble bomb.

00:22:51That sit-out powerbomb to Billy.

00:22:54And Bubba struggling to the corner.

00:22:56Jeff Hardy tagged his own way in.

00:22:58A blind tag, knocking Billy down.

00:23:00Oh, this is Jeff Hardy's a daredevil.

00:23:03Highly athletic.

00:23:04Highly athletic.

00:23:05And a shot down motive.

00:23:07Billy Gunn.

00:23:09My pick, my favorites to win the titles on Sunday, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy King.

00:23:13Chuck seemed highly upset about that.

00:23:15Look out!

00:23:16What a shot by Jeff Hardy.

00:23:18Here's the cover.

00:23:20What in the world?

00:23:20And Bubba Ray breaks up the three count.

00:23:22And again, a little taste of WrestleMania.

00:23:25Every man for himself.

00:23:27Last team standing wins the tag team titles.

00:23:29Chuck and Billy, the huge Dudleys, the even huger APL.

00:23:34The clothesline of hell!

00:23:36And you're picking the Hardys?

00:23:37Oh, look at Billy.

00:23:38The Famouser to Bradshaw.

00:23:43And Jeff Hardy up top, Billy Gunn.

00:23:46Make sure Jeff didn't get in position for a possible swan time.

00:23:50And now Billy's gonna set Jeff Hardy up.

00:23:54And Jeff Hardy battling back.

00:23:56Watch it.

00:23:57Whatever state die attitude of the hot flying Hardys.

00:24:00You see Matt playing cheerleader at ringside along with Lita.

00:24:03Look out!

00:24:04And Chuck pulls Billy out of the way.

00:24:05And nobody home for Jeff Hardy.

00:24:07Oh, look out, Chuck.

00:24:07Look out, Chuck.

00:24:08Oh, Matt's had enough, but Chuck taking it down.

00:24:10Now Devon's involved and all hell's breaking loose.

00:24:12Wait a minute.

00:24:13We got, we got Peru, everybody's out here on the floor fighting.

00:24:17Well, meanwhile, the ring, it's the one and only from Billy Gunn.

00:24:20Hook of the leg.

00:24:21Billy's got his damn feet on the ropes.

00:24:23What?

00:24:23And Billy Gunn wins the Fatal 4-Way.

00:24:25I didn't see that.

00:24:26I was looking at that.

00:24:27Here's your winner, Billy.

00:24:30Look at all these guys fighting out here on the floor.

00:24:33Billy Gunn, hey.

00:24:34Look out, hey Billy.

00:24:35Believe it's a pie in the top.

00:24:37In the middle.

00:24:39Hey, look at this.

00:24:41And here comes Stacy.

00:24:42Look at her girl.

00:24:43Oh, baby, can't fight.

00:24:44And everybody's involved.

00:24:48Catch up with a clothesline.

00:24:50Care of the clothes.

00:24:52The top.

00:24:55Wait a minute.

00:24:57We got, we got everybody going into everybody.

00:25:00Wait a minute.

00:25:01Completely out of control.

00:25:02The tag team champions wandering away.

00:25:06All these guys are fighting for what Billy and Chuck had.

00:25:09That's the tag team titles.

00:25:11Look at this.

00:25:11We got six guys fighting over Chuck and Billy.

00:25:14I bet they love that.

00:25:23Hey, Trish.

00:25:24Hey, listen.

00:25:25I gotta apologize.

00:25:26Kicking you Monday night during a tight match.

00:25:28I mean, it would be a great victory.

00:25:30And I know that was a cause of Jazz painting.

00:25:31I'm really sorry it was an accident completely.

00:25:34That's cool, Trish.

00:25:35Um, at WrestleMania, me versus Jazz versus you, there won't be any accidents.

00:25:42Well, what's that supposed to mean?

00:25:44I just mean whether I have to go through Jazz or whether I have to go through you.

00:25:47I'm walking out of WrestleMania the next WWF Women's Champion.

00:25:50When's the last time you were champion?

00:25:54Trying to say you're better than me?

00:25:56I'm not trying to.

00:25:57I just did.

00:25:59Oh!

00:26:00Oh!

00:26:01Help!

00:26:02Get out!

00:26:03Help!

00:26:04Get out!

00:26:05Lady and Trish!

00:26:06They're beating the hell out of each other today!

00:26:08Get out!

00:26:09Let's go!

00:26:09Come on!

00:26:10Come on!

00:26:13Wait a minute!

00:26:13I'm gonna go!

00:26:14I'll get there!

00:26:15I'll get between them!

00:26:17You enjoyed that?

00:26:18Have you enjoyed the look on Flare's face?

00:26:20Wait till you see what's gonna happen here.

00:26:22Come in!

00:26:23I think you'll enjoy this.

00:26:25I'll call you back.

00:26:26Why, come on in!

00:26:27Come on in!

00:26:28Sorry to interrupt you.

00:26:29I heard you wanted to see me.

00:26:30No, indeed.

00:26:31Look at this.

00:26:32What a fine looking young athlete.

00:26:35Flare indeed.

00:26:37David Flare.

00:26:38Wow!

00:26:38I tell you what, you sure look a whole hell of a lot better than the last time I saw

00:26:42you,

00:26:42kid.

00:26:43Ooh!

00:26:44Undertaker.

00:26:46Put a hurting on you, didn't you?

00:26:47But nonetheless, you were pretty tough.

00:26:50I invited you over here because, you see, you know that your dad and I don't get along

00:26:55too well and, you know, he's a great man and all that kind of stuff.

00:26:58But, you know, he and I, we don't see eye to eye.

00:27:03You know that.

00:27:04Where are we going with all this?

00:27:06Well, quite frankly, where we're going with this is I'm gonna do something for you tonight

00:27:09that I don't think your dad would ever do.

00:27:12I'm gonna give you an opportunity of a lifetime, David.

00:27:17Is that right?

00:27:18Yeah.

00:27:19Because tonight, right here on SmackDown, imagine this.

00:27:25David Flare versus The Undertaker.

00:27:32Oh, my God.

00:27:33Are you nuts?

00:27:35I'm not gonna fight The Undertaker.

00:27:38Listen here, Mr. McMahon, I thank you for the opportunity, but I think I'll pass.

00:27:42Oh, wait a minute.

00:27:44Wait just a minute.

00:27:46I mean, tonight, you can become a bonafide WWF superstar.

00:27:52You've been training all these months in the training program.

00:27:55You wanna be a WWF superstar, don't you?

00:27:58Of course you do.

00:27:58You wanna follow in your dad's footsteps, right?

00:28:01I mean, you are last name Flair, right?

00:28:04You've got the passion for this business, right?

00:28:07I mean, come on.

00:28:08You're the son of one of the greatest legends in the history of this business.

00:28:14So you have no alternative tonight but to take on The Undertaker because, quite frankly,

00:28:21to quote a former great champion, to be the man, David, you've gotta beat the man.

00:28:30What about you and The Undertaker tonight?

00:28:36I understand.

00:28:38Yeah.

00:28:40Damn right you understand.

00:28:43Yeah.

00:28:45Oh, yes.

00:28:47Is that gonna be good or what, huh?

00:28:51David Flair, one-on-one with The Undertaker.

00:28:54Oh, yeah.

00:28:57What'd you think?

00:29:01Thanks, boss.

00:29:09And now, the boot of the week, brought to you by Luggs.

00:29:13Luggs is slamming the streets with the hottest styles in boots, shoes, and athletics.

00:29:17Luggs, boots, shoes, attitude.

00:29:19The hardcore championship about to be decided here.

00:29:22Here it goes.

00:29:24Al Snow wanted to contact there, looking for him.

00:29:26Oh, man, look out.

00:29:27Look, he froze the side of gold on his head.

00:29:29And a brain bunker on the trash can.

00:29:31That's gonna be it.

00:29:32Al Snow has won the hardcore title.

00:29:35Luggs, boots, shoes, attitude.

00:29:39What does everybody want?

00:29:41We are back on SmackDown and following that shocker from Raw Monday night.

00:29:47And a title defense tonight for the new champion.

00:29:49What do you mean?

00:29:51Shocker is right.

00:29:52Fully contested scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Wrestling Federation Hardcore Championship.

00:29:59Coaching the ring, weighing in at 246 pounds, the hardcore champion, Al Snow.

00:30:05Well, Al Snow beat Goldust on Raw.

00:30:07Goldust had beaten Al Snow's protégé, Maven, thanks to that 24-hour seven rule concerning the hardcore title.

00:30:14You know, King, Al Snow the trainer on Tough It Up 2.

00:30:16And Tough It Up 2 tonight, right after SmackDown on MTV.

00:30:21Yeah, why don't he stick to his own show?

00:30:25Well...

00:30:27He may want to go back to his show, because here comes the big, big, big show.

00:30:34And we got it right now.

00:30:35500 pounds, the big show.

00:30:38Remember, no hope, four, fours count anywhere.

00:30:41No disqualification.

00:30:43And look at Big Show's eyes.

00:30:45Oh, man, he's all business.

00:30:48Big Show and Al Snow with his hardcore title matchup here on SmackDown.

00:30:53King, I want to know what kind of bullet Mr. McMahon is shoveling to David Flair.

00:30:58What do you mean, what kind of bullet?

00:30:59David Flair is not ready to take on The Undertaker.

00:31:02This is total abuse of this absolute power that Mr. McMahon now has.

00:31:06It'll be a wonderful learning experience from David Flair.

00:31:08A learning experience?

00:31:10Yeah.

00:31:10It could be career suicide.

00:31:11Oh, come on.

00:31:12Oh, man, did you see that?

00:31:14You saw what The Undertaker did to David Flair at the training facility at Stanford a few weeks ago.

00:31:20I can't wait to see David Flair just perched up there on the other picture's learning tree.

00:31:26Michael, it'll be great.

00:31:28David's father, Rick, not here.

00:31:30Mr. McMahon, in fact, kicked him out of the building.

00:31:33That's the only shame.

00:31:34I was glad that Mr. McMahon showed Flair the door, but now I wish he would be here to see

00:31:38this match.

00:31:39It's gonna be classic of all time.

00:31:40The Big Show squeezing Al Snow's head like an orange against it.

00:31:44Those steel steps.

00:31:45Al Snow is melting.

00:31:47Al Snow, the hardcore champion.

00:31:49Oh, no.

00:31:50But for how long?

00:31:50Oh, my God.

00:31:51The steel steps.

00:31:52And Al Snow just rolling out of the way.

00:31:54A shot to Vanille.

00:31:56Trying to knock the big man down.

00:31:58Al Snow lucky.

00:31:59Those steel steps weigh almost to 50 pounds.

00:32:02Stop, Al.

00:32:03Stop.

00:32:05That may stop The Big Show.

00:32:06Shot to the head.

00:32:07This is all legal, folks.

00:32:08Stop.

00:32:09No rules in a hardcore matchup.

00:32:12Don't yield.

00:32:12Just stop.

00:32:14The Big Show finally knocked down.

00:32:15Here's the cover.

00:32:16Falls count anywhere.

00:32:17There's two with a kick out with authority by The Big Show.

00:32:21Also tonight, folks, Triple H with that announcement concerning WrestleMania.

00:32:26And I can only hope-

00:32:27Oh, right into that steel post.

00:32:29Did you hear that thud?

00:32:30Did I?

00:32:31I can only hope that that announcement for Triple H has nothing to do with his,

00:32:34Well, perhaps, probably not in an undisputed matchup, WrestleMania.

00:32:40Let's just speculate for a second.

00:32:42If Triple H did somehow pull out of that match like you think he's going to.

00:32:45Yeah.

00:32:46What would Jericho do at WrestleMania?

00:32:48I don't know.

00:32:49That would probably be up to Mr. McMahon.

00:32:51And we all know that he, we can trust him to run things fair and square.

00:32:56What are you laughing at?

00:32:58What a shot.

00:32:59Maybe Jericho would just like get a free pass.

00:33:01A free pass?

00:33:03That would be unprecedented.

00:33:05Well, this is unprecedented.

00:33:06Oh, did she and Al Snow do this?

00:33:08Oh, no.

00:33:10Not bowling.

00:33:11Bowling for dollars.

00:33:12No, he's not bowling for dollars.

00:33:14Al Snow regular Earl Anthony.

00:33:16Oh, look at this.

00:33:17Well, Big Show, a pro in the corner.

00:33:20Oh, no!

00:33:22Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

00:33:23That's the 07-10 split.

00:33:26And Al Snow trying to take advantage.

00:33:29Plants Big Show with an EDT.

00:33:30Cover.

00:33:31Big Show with authority.

00:33:33Tossed Al Snow halfway across the ring.

00:33:35Well, if a bowling ball to the, well, if that doesn't beat Big Show, nothing will.

00:33:39We're gonna say Al Snow's gonna be wondering what he has to do to beat this monster.

00:33:44Uh-oh.

00:33:45I think he just got the Big Show mad and Al Snow with the chokeslam by the Big Show.

00:33:51My goodness.

00:33:52Hey!

00:33:53What?

00:33:54It's Goldust.

00:33:55Goldust?

00:33:56And Goldust going for the cover.

00:33:58There's two.

00:33:59It's 24-7, hardcore titles on the line at all times.

00:34:03Wait a minute, is this a triple-trip match?

00:34:05Well, love it, here comes Maven.

00:34:06Maven!

00:34:07Maven!

00:34:07Goldust clucks Al Snow.

00:34:09Wait, it's a four-way.

00:34:10Big Show and Goldust going at it.

00:34:13Al Snow's been knocked out by that trash container lid.

00:34:16Look at him down again!

00:34:17Maven knocking the Big Show over the top rope, just like The Undertaker and the Royal Rumble.

00:34:22Look at this!

00:34:22Maven covers, he covers his mentor!

00:34:25Maven with a high court title!

00:34:28It's Maven and Snow!

00:34:29Let's go, Maven!

00:34:30Maven!

00:34:47Maven!

00:34:47He's the new home court champion!

00:34:49He takes advantage of the 24-7 rule!

00:34:52Unbelievable!

00:34:53Take a look at that drop kick!

00:34:55It's back a Big Show!

00:34:57Man!

00:34:58Hey!

00:34:58We're back memories of The Rumble.

00:35:00Yeah, Maven's got that down to a size!

00:35:02And this is!

00:35:03What an opportunist!

00:35:04The three count!

00:35:06It's Maven!

00:35:07Or Maven is the new champion!

00:35:10I don't know how Al Snowy's gotta be disciplined!

00:35:12Hey, man, I'm heading to the ring.

00:35:14Take this to the production truck.

00:35:16You wanna call for it, make sure it plays.

00:35:18Yes, sir.

00:35:24Uh-oh!

00:35:27Oh, Michael!

00:35:32You know what this means?

00:35:38Uh-oh!

00:35:40King is perhaps the greatest sports entertainer of all time!

00:35:45And this Sunday at WrestleMania on pay-per-view,

00:35:51Hollywood Hulk Hogan meets The Rock one-on-one!

00:35:57You're telling me that he is perhaps the greatest role in the...

00:36:00You tell me who's better!

00:36:01Tell me who's ever been better, Michael!

00:36:04Ladies and gentlemen, Hollywood Hulk Hogan!

00:36:08He is a five-time WWE Champion!

00:36:11Right!

00:36:11And a man who, whether you like him or not, has revolutionized wrestling!

00:36:17Right!

00:36:17Brought it into the forefront of popular culture!

00:36:20You're preaching to the choir, Michael!

00:36:22I know all this!

00:36:23Anybody can call themselves an icon, but this man right here truly is!

00:36:28It's nice that you look up the word icon in the dictionary,

00:36:30and you see a picture of Hollywood Hulk Hogan!

00:36:33And Sunday, he will make his tenth appearance at WrestleMania!

00:36:37His first in nine years in the challenge on Sunday for Hulk Hogan!

00:36:42It's the future of the World Wrestling Federation, The Rock!

00:36:48Who's that son?

00:36:49Who's that little illiterate idiot get in here?

00:36:58This is somewhat of a mixed reaction here, Michael!

00:37:00Very much so at the Gund Arena in Cleveland.

00:37:04Like I said, whether you like it or not, King, you have to respect what this man has done for

00:37:09this business!

00:37:15We're in Cleveland.

00:37:16They love their Indians.

00:37:17They love their Browns.

00:37:18And a lot of them apparently love The Rock too, don't they?

00:37:23Oh, look at that!

00:37:24Man, there it is!

00:37:26Get your cameras out!

00:37:27Take some pictures!

00:37:32You know, I've seen a lot through the years.

00:37:37I've sat back and I've watched every next big thing step into the ring and say they were going to

00:37:45do something that no one else could do.

00:37:48Kill Hulkamania.

00:37:50Yeah, that's been said.

00:37:53Roddy Piper said it.

00:37:56The Ultimate Warrior said it.

00:38:00Even Andre, God bless his soul, Andre the Giant said it.

00:38:07But Andre, like everybody else, failed.

00:38:10They all failed to kill Hulkamania.

00:38:14They all fell victim to the exact same thing that The Rock fell victim to last Monday night.

00:38:21As I hit him with a boot in the face.

00:38:24Dropped the leg on him and beat him for a one, two, three.

00:38:29Just like everyone else that steps into the ring with Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

00:38:33Just check out the footage.

00:38:35Let me show you what I'm talking about.

00:38:37Now, all you non-believers, look at this.

00:38:40You see it.

00:38:41The big foot just like Hollywood Hogan said.

00:38:43And then that huge leg drop right across the throat of The Rock and to everybody's astonishment.

00:38:48One, two, three!

00:38:49It happened in a handicap tag match.

00:38:52It was three on two.

00:38:53Who cares? It happened.

00:38:55The only thing that ever came close to killing Hulkamania was the Hulkamaniacs.

00:39:00What?

00:39:01You people out there, you almost killed Hulkamania.

00:39:08Then I realized one thing.

00:39:10I didn't need you.

00:39:14The Hulkamaniacs could not kill Hulkamania.

00:39:18I proved that last Monday night.

00:39:21Just roll this footage.

00:39:24See what happened here, Michael.

00:39:26It was last Monday night.

00:39:27The big foot in the face.

00:39:29Hey, we got the point the first time.

00:39:30And then the huge leg drop from Hulk Hogan.

00:39:32I dropped the throat of The Rock.

00:39:33And then one, two, three.

00:39:36He beat him again.

00:39:37Can you believe that?

00:39:40You know, for those of you that are brand new fans or maybe are just getting dialed in, show this

00:39:45thing one more time in slow motion so it really, really sinks in, please.

00:39:50Slow motion?

00:39:50Stop the pain.

00:39:51Everybody pay close.

00:39:53This is nauseating.

00:39:53Shut up, Michael.

00:39:54Pay close attention.

00:39:56There it is.

00:39:57The big, famous leg drop.

00:40:00And the one, two, three.

00:40:03Why are you talking in slow motion?

00:40:06After I beat you, Rock, one, two, three, in the middle of the ring at WrestleMania, you're gonna realize that

00:40:13you're ordinary.

00:40:15Uh-oh.

00:40:16You're common.

00:40:17Just like everyone else out there.

00:40:19You're just ordinary and common.

00:40:23So roll that footage one more time so you can take a look at it, right?

00:40:26We've seen it three times already.

00:40:28Keep your eyes open.

00:40:29One step.

00:40:30Hey!

00:40:33We might not have to wait till WrestleMania!

00:40:36The Rock has seen enough!

00:40:41And we were about to see it one more time!

00:40:44The stare from Hogan!

00:40:46His opponent at WrestleMania on Sunday!

00:40:49The future!

00:40:51The president of the World Wrestling Federation!

00:40:53The People's Champion!

00:40:55The Rock!

00:40:58It's deafening!

00:40:59I can't even hear myself thinking here!

00:41:01Can you imagine what it would be like at WrestleMania?

00:41:03With 67,000 fans cheering for The Rock!

00:41:07And worldwide pay-per-view audience!

00:41:10To see a match we've all been waiting for!

00:41:15I can't wait to hear this!

00:41:17The Rock is about to lay some smack down on Hollywood Hulk Hogan!

00:41:21The Rock's pacing!

00:41:22I don't know if he can contain himself until Sunday!

00:41:25One, two, three, three!

00:41:27What about it, Brahma Bull?

00:41:28One, two, three, four!

00:41:40I feel the electricity, King!

00:41:42Oh, man. Oh, he's gonna... Yeah, that's right. Compose yourself, Rock. Don't cuss. Don't lose it.

00:41:49Hulk Hogan. What can The Rock say? You beat The Rock.

00:41:56We saw it.

00:41:57But you are wrong about one thing.

00:42:00You see, unlike every other man you face, The Rock could care less about killing Hulkamania.

00:42:07Huh? Because as far as The Rock is concerned, Hulkamania is a fantasy.

00:42:13It's in your mind. Fantasy, you know. Cuckoo. Cuckoo. Cuckoo.

00:42:19Wait a minute.

00:42:23You know that fantasy land you live in where Hulkamania walks down the Hulkah street, eats a Hulkah sandwich.

00:42:32And all of his Hulkah friends give him a line of Hulkah crap about how he's not gonna get his

00:42:38Hulkah a** whooped at Wrestlemania.

00:42:40While Rock is all fired up.

00:42:45You see, Hogan, The Rock knows it.

00:42:49The millions of The Rock's fans know it, but what apparently you don't know

00:42:57is while this fantasy of Hulkamania, you know, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, while that fantasy,

00:43:03while that's a fantasy, this Sunday, reality.

00:43:09You see, Hogan, you can beat The Rock in a tag.

00:43:12You can take a hammer to the back of The Rock's head.

00:43:14You can try to end my career.

00:43:16But the fact remains is there is no way.

00:43:19And The Rock means no way that he's not gonna walk into Wrestlemania, the biggest match ever.

00:43:26Whoop your candy a**.

00:43:27One, two, three.

00:43:38I'll give you the fact that you are a cut above the rest.

00:43:43You're not exactly the flavor of the month.

00:43:47And you, just as much as me, is responsible for the biggest, the greatest match in the history of this

00:43:54industry.

00:43:55Wrestlemania, Rock vs. Hogan.

00:43:57There is no bigger because I've been in them all.

00:44:03But there's only one thing left, Rock.

00:44:06There's that one question.

00:44:09There's that one question that I always ask each opponent that turns into a victim before Wrestlemania is over.

00:44:20And I'd like to ask you, Rock.

00:44:23I'd like to ask you that question right now.

00:44:27Rock vs. Hogan.

00:44:29What you gonna do?

00:44:32Uh-oh!

00:44:33What you gonna do, Rock?

00:44:36When the biggest icon this industry has ever seen puts you in your place at Wrestlemania?

00:44:42What you gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?

00:44:49Oh my God!

00:44:51What you gonna do, Rock!

00:44:58I think Hogan has intimidated the Rock!

00:45:13What you gonna do, Rock!

00:45:22What's the Rock gonna do?

00:45:24What's the Rock gonna do?

00:45:27What's the Rock gonna do?

00:45:38Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, just stand there and tell him, you don't

00:45:42have to, don't.

00:45:45We can hear you, Rock, just stay right there.

00:45:47The microphone is working fine.

00:45:49Whatever.

00:45:50Come on, Rock!

00:45:52Come on, Rock!

00:45:54Come on!

00:45:55Come on, Rock!

00:46:04Come on!

00:48:38wrestling's past vs its future

00:48:41came too near mythical figures who revolutionized this industry

00:48:46who will stake claim to the title best ever

00:48:50Keep one thing in mind, Michael Cole.

00:48:53Hollywood Hulk Hogan has beaten The Rock.

00:48:55The Rock has never beaten Hogan.

00:49:01Can you dig it, sucker?

00:49:05We are back on SmackDown from the Gundarina in Cleveland.

00:49:09Three days away from WrestleMania.

00:49:11Three days away from Booker T in Edge.

00:49:15Can you dig it, sucker?

00:49:20The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:49:24Making his way to the right weight at 251 pounds, Booker T.

00:49:29Booker T will be in his first WrestleMania come Sunday.

00:49:33Haven't been a good couple of weeks for Booker T.

00:49:35You know, he lost that Japanese shampoo commercial to his opponent at WrestleMania.

00:49:39Edge, yeah.

00:49:40Oh, hair boy, Edge.

00:49:42I cannot believe that.

00:49:43As I said, my cat has coughed up better looking hair than Edge has.

00:49:46As I said, as I said, down a nice shower drain and see better looking hair than Edge has.

00:49:51And he gives a shampoo, Mark.

00:49:52Look at what he's wearing his hair.

00:49:54That's some beautiful hair.

00:49:55Let's call him Medusa.

00:49:55Looks like a Brillo Pat.

00:49:57Brillo Pat.

00:49:59And weighing in at 282 pounds, Test.

00:50:03I'll tell you, King, I still have chills from what we experienced just a few moments ago.

00:50:08The Rock and Hulk Cogan out here face-to-face just three days away from their matchup at WrestleMania.

00:50:13Oh, it's great, Michael.

00:50:14I can't wait.

00:50:15It's a match that, well, the entire world thought would never happen.

00:50:18But we're going to get to see it at WrestleMania.

00:50:20Sure, I love The Rock.

00:50:21I mean, I'm a huge Rock fan.

00:50:23But all this talk about a puck of sandwich and all of that kind of stuff.

00:50:26You know, like Hulk said, Rock talks a good match.

00:50:29But you can't win a WrestleMania match with your mouth.

00:50:32I know you're a big Rock fan.

00:50:34And we get this right to it.

00:50:36And a company by Tori Wilson from Japan.

00:50:39Weighing in at 206 pounds.

00:50:41And closerweight champion, Tajiri.

00:50:44By the way, Michael, did I tell you how great that diva special was last night?

00:50:47Sex on a beach.

00:50:48Oh, Tori on a beach.

00:50:49It was beautiful.

00:50:50But you know, I don't get this.

00:50:51I don't get this.

00:50:52He's thinking of a combination.

00:50:53Told me about Sex on a beach more than Hulk Hogan showed us that footage of him beating the Rock

00:50:57on a Raw.

00:50:59That was amazing footage, right?

00:51:08And from Toronto, Ontario, weighing in at 206 pounds.

00:51:14It's Airborne!

00:51:15Hey, you know, the last time that WrestleMania was in Toronto at Sky Dome, Edge was actually sitting in the

00:51:21stands as a fan, watching Hulk Hogan battle the Ultimate Warrior.

00:51:25He was a teenager then.

00:51:28Nighttime's gonna be my fight.

00:51:30Tag team matchup, Edge and Tajiri to take on Booker T and Tested.

00:51:33Edge is gonna start things off face-to-face with Booker T.

00:51:36Look out, man.

00:51:37Emotions running wild here tonight.

00:51:40Look at that hair!

00:51:41It's a poo that he endorsed me.

00:51:42Of course I would.

00:51:43Well, I guess so.

00:51:44Look at your hair.

00:51:44Your hair's so nappy.

00:51:45Wilson couldn't make it.

00:51:46At least I have hair.

00:51:47As Booker T starts things off against Tajiri.

00:51:49What are you talking about now?

00:51:51In this tag team matchup.

00:51:52You know, Booker T somewhat blamed Tajiri for losing that Japanese shampoo commercial.

00:51:57Tajiri had a lot to do in the auditions.

00:51:59I think Tajiri, well, first of all, he had inside information.

00:52:03And then I think he might have misinterpreted some of this thing that Booker T said.

00:52:07Let me ask you a question, King, what Booker T is thinking about.

00:52:10The emotions going through his mind this week.

00:52:11I mean, he's a five-time WCW champion.

00:52:14He's a veteran of this business, but he's never been on the grand stage of a WrestleMania.

00:52:19And he has the opportunity to do that come Sunday.

00:52:22Without a doubt, it'll affect it.

00:52:23I can assure you that.

00:52:25Look at this.

00:52:26What a shot by Tajiri.

00:52:27Do you still get butterflies when you get sent to do commentary for WrestleMania?

00:52:32Well, let's face it, Michael, I am a seasoned professional.

00:52:36I'm not like you.

00:52:37So you do.

00:52:37I know, you know, if you're going to go out there at WrestleMania, you'll have butterflies the size of eagles.

00:52:42So the answer is yes.

00:52:43Off the sidewalk, Slam Booker T in control of Tajiri.

00:52:46Still to come tonight, had Triple H an estimate concerning WrestleMania.

00:52:51There's a lot of speculation on what Triple H is going to say here tonight.

00:52:55Of course, he heard it a little bit ago.

00:52:56Mr. McMahon has put David Flair, the son of Ric Flair, into a matchup one-on-one with The Undertaker.

00:53:05I think there's an opportunity of a lifetime for David Flair.

00:53:08I mean, let's face it, a couple of weeks ago, he's down in some training camp somewhere here in Louisville,

00:53:14Kentucky.

00:53:15Tried to learn the ropes here in the WWF, but now, as such, tonight, he's gonna be on SmackDown, seen

00:53:20by the entire world.

00:53:21David Flair is not ready to take on the likes of The Undertaker.

00:53:25You know that as well as I do.

00:53:26When will he be ready?

00:53:27Huh?

00:53:27Who's to say, who's the person that can say, well, today he's ready, yesterday he wasn't ready, he might be

00:53:33ready next week.

00:53:33Who's gonna say that?

00:53:34Well, the worst part of it all is his dad, Ric Flair.

00:53:37Oh, look at this.

00:53:38Tajiri.

00:53:39Oh, no.

00:53:39Trying to lock the tarantula in.

00:53:41Test counters.

00:53:42Ric Flair's been kicked out of the building by Mr. McMahon.

00:53:44Good.

00:53:45Oh, that was unified, Tess.

00:53:47Beautiful.

00:53:49And Tess perhaps setting Tajiri up for the big boot, and it connects.

00:53:53I think Tess could do a shampoo commercial.

00:53:55Hey, look out, Tess.

00:53:56Tess is not Tess out of the ring.

00:53:58And Booker T, stalking Edge, misses the kick, and Edge, oh!

00:54:03The spear, the cover, hook of the leg, and Tess breaks up the three count.

00:54:09Sorry about your luck there, Harry, boy.

00:54:11And now, Tess is stalking Edge.

00:54:14Whoa.

00:54:15Went for the boot.

00:54:16Edge counters.

00:54:17Here it comes, the education on home.

00:54:21And Booker T with a shot to the chops.

00:54:23Here's the cover, hook of the leg, Booker T wins it.

00:54:27Yes!

00:54:30Here are your winners, Tess and Booker T.

00:54:34Oh, will that be the single?

00:54:36Oh, a move from Tess to Tajiri.

00:54:39Well, that was a convincing loss there for hometown hair boy, wasn't it?

00:54:43Or maybe I should say a convincing win for Booker T.

00:54:45What the hell is Tess doing here?

00:54:47Oh, look out, ref.

00:54:47You see this?

00:54:48Show him to him, baby.

00:54:49You see it?

00:54:50Show him to him.

00:54:51Oh, watch this.

00:54:52Tess is gonna force Edge to watch this idiocy.

00:54:55Well, Booker T's gonna be forced to watch Edge do his shampoo commercial.

00:54:59Look at that, Spinner Rudy.

00:55:01That would have sold a million bottles of shampoo.

00:55:03Now, Booker T, some exclamation point.

00:55:09For Sunday King at WrestleMania on pay-per-view, Edge is in his hometown in front of 67,000.

00:55:16It may be a different story.

00:55:18Edge and Booker T, Sunday at WrestleMania.

00:55:21And then again, it may not.

00:55:23Ha ha!

00:55:24Ha ha!

00:55:26Ha ha ha!

00:55:26Booker T, clicking the punishment tonight.

00:55:29Will the story be the same?

00:55:31Come WrestleMania!

00:55:35Ha ha ha!

00:55:36Ha ha ha!

00:55:36Well, folks, there's Stone Cold Steve Austin's locker room.

00:55:39Coming up next, we'll hear from the Texas Rattlesnake!

00:55:43Ha ha ha!

00:55:48Well, Stone Cold Steve Austin, we are just three days away from a match against the NWO Scott

00:55:54Hall this Sunday at WrestleMania.

00:55:56What?

00:55:58How many days away are we?

00:56:01Three.

00:56:02What?

00:56:03Three.

00:56:04What?

00:56:06Do I look nervous?

00:56:07What?

00:56:08Do I seem nervous?

00:56:10What?

00:56:10Am I trembling?

00:56:11What?

00:56:12Am I shaking?

00:56:13What?

00:56:14I don't think I am.

00:56:15What?

00:56:16Do you know why?

00:56:17What?

00:56:18Every somebody back here is nervous as hell, this might be their first WrestleMania.

00:56:21It's not my first WrestleMania.

00:56:23What?

00:56:24Do you know why I'm not nervous?

00:56:25What?

00:56:26Scott Hall cost me my title shot.

00:56:28What?

00:56:28He put me off.

00:56:30What?

00:56:30He screwed me.

00:56:32What?

00:56:32He busted a cinder block on my leg.

00:56:34What?

00:56:35Do you know what I'm going to do at WrestleMania?

00:56:36What?

00:56:37I'm going to go in Toronto.

00:56:39What?

00:56:39And I'm going to open up a can of whoop ass.

00:56:41What?

00:56:41On that sorry son of a .

00:56:43What?

00:56:44There's not too many ways I can say that.

00:56:46What?

00:56:47I'm going into WrestleMania to whip a man's ass.

00:56:49What?

00:56:50I'm going to put his little head right there.

00:56:52What?

00:56:52Turn it so slightly.

00:56:54What?

00:56:55Wham!

00:56:55Drop him.

00:56:56What?

00:56:56Stone cold stutter.

00:56:58What?

00:56:58Put some stink on it.

00:57:00What?

00:57:01One, two, three.

00:57:02That's the first member of the NWO.

00:57:04Scott Hawley's going down.

00:57:06Do you understand me?

00:57:09Yeah.

00:57:10It's pretty simple, isn't it?

00:57:12You want to put your little thing right there?

00:57:16Hey, hey, what the hell is this?

00:57:19I was enjoying that.

00:57:21Well, I think it's over.

00:57:22Wait a minute.

00:57:23Maybe it's not.

00:57:24The interview wasn't over.

00:57:26Austin Smith did this interruption.

00:57:30And look who's providing the interruption.

00:57:33Austin's opponent at WrestleMania, Scott Hall.

00:57:37Well, obviously, Scott Hall had something very important to say.

00:57:42He's going to interrupt a Rattlespace interview.

00:57:51Scott Hall, Stone Cold, Steve Austin, Sunday at WrestleMania.

00:57:55What's this all about, though?

00:58:00Hey, yo.

00:58:05Hey, Stone Cold.

00:58:07What?

00:58:08You don't have to hide in the back.

00:58:12What?

00:58:12Like some kind of cockroach.

00:58:15What?

00:58:16Wow.

00:58:17Cockroach.

00:58:18And you're out here telling the whole world.

00:58:21What?

00:58:22What?

00:58:24What?

00:58:25You're going to do to Scott Hall?

00:58:27What?

00:58:28What?

00:58:28Well, I think maybe.

00:58:30What?

00:58:31What?

00:58:31We should show the whole world.

00:58:34What?

00:58:35What?

00:58:35Just what.

00:58:36What?

00:58:38Scott Hall.

00:58:39What?

00:58:40Did to you.

00:58:41What?

00:58:42Last Monday.

00:58:44What?

00:58:45I said show them just what.

00:58:47What?

00:58:48I did to you.

00:58:49What?

00:58:50On Raw.

00:58:52What?

00:58:54What?

00:58:54Oh, not this.

00:58:55What?

00:58:56Oh, yeah.

00:58:57I remember this.

00:58:57Yeah, remember the handicap three on two tag match.

00:59:01And the match was already over when that happened.

00:59:03Yeah, but that was a stunner.

00:59:04A Stone Cold stunner.

00:59:06Scott Hall took Steve off the tent, put it right there.

00:59:10Wham!

00:59:10Stunner and put the stink on it.

00:59:11Oh, there's a stunt cold.

00:59:14So, Stone Cold.

00:59:17What?

00:59:19What?

00:59:19I hear, what?

00:59:21What?

00:59:22from you, what?

00:59:23That you're the toughest SOB in the WWF.

00:59:33Prove it.

00:59:34Wow.

00:59:37Because Stone Cold.

00:59:39Wait a minute.

00:59:40You got something to say to me?

00:59:43Say it to my face.

00:59:46Scott Hall calling Stone Cold out here?

00:59:49Man, I don't think he's gonna have to wait for him.

00:59:50I am going nowhere, Austin.

00:59:52I'm waiting right here for you.

00:59:57Scott Hall is calling Austin out.

01:00:00And here we go.

01:00:02You're right, King.

01:00:03We don't have to wait long.

01:00:05Austin and Hall ready to get it on here tonight.

01:00:09Well, I hope that Scott Hall knows what he was asking for.

01:00:13And Stone Cold got to be in a foul.

01:00:15Wait a minute.

01:00:17That's coming back.

01:00:18Coming back with a steel chair.

01:00:20King Nash thought that referee was Austin.

01:00:23Hey.

01:00:24Oh, look at this.

01:00:25It's Austin.

01:00:26Austin from behind.

01:00:29Stone Cold.

01:00:31Style.

01:00:32Stone Cold style.

01:00:34Where'd he come from?

01:00:36Look out.

01:00:37Here comes Kevin Nash with that chair.

01:00:39Kevin Nash with a steel chair.

01:00:42Nash with a weapon.

01:00:44But Stone Cold, that's something up his sleeve.

01:00:47Austin, the warden.

01:00:49The NWO clan.

01:00:50Austin, smell the rat.

01:00:53The Rattlesnake outsmarted.

01:00:55The NWO.

01:00:57Well, I'll tell you one thing, man.

01:00:58We've got to rip that steel chair right around the Rattlesnake's head, wasn't he?

01:01:02But he didn't, did he?

01:01:04Well, no, he didn't yet.

01:01:08Austin, Hall, Sunday at Wrestlemania.

01:01:11And Austin, proving the NWO.

01:01:15He can outsmart him.

01:01:17Look at that, from behind.

01:01:18Yeah, he did outsmart him.

01:01:20He tricked Scott Hall.

01:01:21And watch this stutter.

01:01:22But what about the quick snap?

01:01:24The snap that Hall and Nash had played for Austin.

01:01:28Austin is coiled, ready to strike Hall at Wrestlemania.

01:01:35Oh, yes.

01:01:37The undisputed World Wrestling Federation Champion, Chris Jericho.

01:01:46So, champ, tell me, what do you really think?

01:01:50What do I think about what?

01:01:52About Triple H's announcement.

01:01:56Triple H's announcement.

01:01:58Triple H's big announcement.

01:02:00You know what his announcement is going to be?

01:02:02He's going to stand in the middle of the ring and announce his retirement from the World Wrestling Federation forever.

01:02:09That's what it's going to be.

01:02:10Oh, you know what, Chris?

01:02:11It's like music to my ears.

01:02:14You know what it's like music to my ears?

01:02:16When I smashed him with that sledgehammer last Monday night, I heard the music of his quad tearing again.

01:02:23Did you really?

01:02:24I heard the music of his screams of pain while he was lying in the ring.

01:02:29That's what I heard.

01:02:30You know what?

01:02:30But the pain, the pain, I saw it in his eyes.

01:02:34It was, it was eerie.

01:02:36It was like deja vu.

01:02:37It was the same look I saw 10 months ago when he injured his quad in the first place.

01:02:41It was like horror and agony and fear.

01:02:47The fear that Triple H's career could be over forever.

01:02:53It was awesome.

01:02:56Yeah.

01:02:56And it was all thanks to you.

01:02:59Yeah.

01:03:00You want to talk about awesome and thanks to me?

01:03:02Tonight, when he does announce his retirement, I want you and I to witness it up close and personal.

01:03:17What does that diabolical do we have planned?

01:03:20And what's Triple H's announcement tonight?

01:03:21Hopefully it won't be bad news.

01:03:23But King, we are just three days away from WrestleMania inside Skydome in Toronto.

01:03:29It's a great spectacle of it all.

01:03:3067,000 people, Michael.

01:03:3315 countries will be represented.

01:03:35Folks, along with people from all 50 states.

01:03:37And as you can hear, Saliva, their song Superstar, they're going to be performing live at WrestleMania.

01:03:44Folks, at WrestleMania, the undisputed title.

01:03:46Held by Chris Jericho on the line against Triple H.

01:03:50Well, there's a good possibility that Y2J may win this one on default.

01:03:53Thanks, of course, to Stephanie.

01:03:55It's Icon vs. Icon Sunday.

01:03:58It's Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock.

01:04:02Well, this is not just about who is the greatest of all time, Michael.

01:04:05This is personal, and I think Hulk's got Brock's number.

01:04:08This is personal as well as we just saw here on SmackDown.

01:04:11The Rattlesnake Stone Cold against the SWO's Scott Hall.

01:04:15Well, I want to know, is the Rattlesnake's venom as powerful as the SWO's poison, Michael?

01:04:20We're going to find out at WrestleMania.

01:04:22We heard tonight it is a no-disqualification match.

01:04:26The Undertaker and Ric Flair.

01:04:28Well, Vince has run Flair out of power.

01:04:30Now The Undertaker, I think he'll run Flair out of the WWF for good.

01:04:34The Intercontinental title is on the line.

01:04:36The challenger, Rob Van Damme, against the champion, William Regal.

01:04:41Are you ready?

01:04:42Educated Feet vs. The Power of the Punch.

01:04:44I put my money on the punch.

01:04:46And the brass knuckles.

01:04:47Plus, Kurt Angle, the Olympic hero, against the Big Red Machine, Kane.

01:04:51Oh, come on.

01:04:52The only machine in this match is the Big Red, White, and Blue Machine, Kurt Angle.

01:04:57He's going to go Olympic on that front.

01:04:59Lead-up, along with the champion, Jazz, and Trish Stratus.

01:05:03A triple-foot match for the women's title.

01:05:05Oh, no WrestleMania is complete without puppies.

01:05:07Puppies and balls and titles.

01:05:09Oh, my.

01:05:10And a match made earlier tonight.

01:05:13The champion, Diamond Dallas Page, with the European title against his protégé, Christian.

01:05:17He's got that right.

01:05:18The smiling is over.

01:05:19DDP is positively thinking he wants Christian back.

01:05:23Will there be 67,000 Edge heads when Edge takes on this man, Booker T, at WrestleMania?

01:05:29Come on, hometown hair boy.

01:05:31He may have called Booker T that shampoo commercial, but I got a feeling that's going to come back to

01:05:35Hardy at WrestleMania.

01:05:36The fourth-quarter WWF Tag Team Champions of Elimination match.

01:05:40The Hardys, APA, the champs, Billy and Chuck, and the Dudley boys.

01:05:43Oh, the Dudleys, APA, the Hardys.

01:05:45Chuck and Billy have got six guys chasing at WrestleMania.

01:05:48They've got to love that.

01:05:49It may be the greatest WrestleMania ever.

01:05:51Both 67,000 in Sky-Dome on Sunday.

01:05:54Call your local cable company, your satellite distributor, DirecTV, WWF.com.

01:05:59You don't want to miss it.

01:06:00It's going to be huge.

01:06:01WrestleMania this Sunday.

01:06:02Live!

01:06:04And there is The Undertaker, Deadman Inc., on a mission.

01:06:08He meets Ric Flair's son.

01:06:10Is David Flair a sacrificial lamb?

01:06:13Next.

01:06:16Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.

01:06:19Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.

01:06:21Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.

01:06:24Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.

01:06:27I don't believe I've ever been as nauseated by a man like I have The Undertaker my whole life.

01:06:34Someday, at WrestleMania, he meets Ric Flair.

01:06:37But tonight, he meets Flair's son, David.

01:06:40Would you like some Pepto-Bismol?

01:06:44Would they help you get up for your time yet?

01:06:45Two-line touches to schedule four, one ball.

01:06:48Mickey is way to the ring from Houston, Texas, weighing in at 305 pounds.

01:06:53Here comes The Undertaker.

01:06:56The Undertaker with that vicious beating at the WWF training facility of David Flair,

01:07:03a few weeks back, goading Ric Flair into that match at WrestleMania.

01:07:07And I don't think we ain't seen nothing yet.

01:07:09I mean, how long did The Undertaker take to deliver that vicious beating your time?

01:07:14That was just a couple minutes.

01:07:15Well, what about Arne Anderson, Ric Flair's best friend, busted open to the ring by The Undertaker?

01:07:19Well, that's what I'm saying.

01:07:20I mean, this is a real official, I mean, this is a real match right here.

01:07:23The Undertaker's got all the time he wants to deliver a vicious beat.

01:07:26Well, The Undertaker demands respect, but how can he respect a man and put a man like Ric Flair through

01:07:31what he has?

01:07:31And from Southern, North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds, David Flair!

01:07:36Well, David Flair's got to believe that he's climbing a huge mountain, a mountain higher than Everest against The Undertaker.

01:07:43Look at the spark on that man's face.

01:07:45Come on, David Flair, this is the opportunity of a lifetime for you.

01:07:48Can you imagine the heights you would rise to if you could beat The Undertaker here tonight?

01:07:54David Flair's got a lot of guts even to be out here, King.

01:07:57Guts run in the family of Ric Flair.

01:08:00But David's got a lot of potential, but he's not ready for the likes of The Undertaker.

01:08:04And look at the eyes of David Flair.

01:08:07Yeah, he's got a lot of potential, a lot of potential to get murdered here tonight.

01:08:11And the guts of the Flair family may be spilled right here in front of us.

01:08:15Yeah, that blood will be on the hands of Mr. McMahon, who set up this damn matchup.

01:08:20That was some great matchmaking, I might add.

01:08:22And what a gentleman The Undertaker is here.

01:08:24Well, The Undertaker.

01:08:25Look, look.

01:08:25He made a mistake, he turned his back, and David Flair hoping to take advantage.

01:08:29David Flair with the right hand to The Undertaker.

01:08:32Well, there's your typical Flair family move.

01:08:35Dirtiest kid in the game here, running from his old man.

01:08:37Now you're getting a kid.

01:08:38David Flair trying to protect himself.

01:08:41The vicious right and left from The Undertaker.

01:08:43And David Flair down in the corner, and now a kick to the midsection.

01:08:48The Undertaker hammering away on the son of Ric Flair.

01:08:52Well, at least David Flair needs to protect his face a little bit there.

01:08:56But it ain't gonna do you any good, kid.

01:08:58Shut up.

01:08:58We know the hatred Mr. McMahon has for Ric Flair.

01:09:01But why subject Flair's son to this punishment?

01:09:04Well, I think that David Flair needs to be taught some respect for somebody other than his old man.

01:09:10I think that David Flair's gonna respect The Undertaker so much after this match is over.

01:09:14Why, he may go out and get a tattoo.

01:09:16David Flair's a respectful young man.

01:09:18You know that as well as I do, King.

01:09:19He doesn't have to have it beat into him.

01:09:21He's Ric Flair's son for God's sake.

01:09:24And here's The Undertaker's cover on David Flair in a kick out.

01:09:27Ric Flair's one of the most respectful men that I've ever met.

01:09:30And I'm sure he brought those values to his son David.

01:09:32And he doesn't deserve to get his- Wait a minute.

01:09:35Wait a minute.

01:09:35Speak of the devil.

01:09:37It's Ric Flair.

01:09:38What the hell is he doing here?

01:09:39Ric Flair walked into the right hand of The Undertaker to the ring of the eyes.

01:09:42By the dirtiest middle of business into a boot by The Undertaker.

01:09:45Well, Ric McMahon threw him out, but I think The Undertaker just knocked him out.

01:09:49Ric Flair taken out by the boot of The Undertaker.

01:09:53These two men meet at WrestleMania on Sunday.

01:09:56And look at David.

01:09:57David Flair from behind.

01:09:58And a big right hand from The Undertaker to David Flair.

01:10:02Knocking Flair down.

01:10:04Uh-oh.

01:10:05Dang.

01:10:06Look at this.

01:10:07The Undertaker set him up.

01:10:09And Ric Flair with a steel check for The Undertaker.

01:10:11This will be legal Sunday.

01:10:13No disqualification at WrestleMania.

01:10:15And The Undertaker wants to live to fight another day.

01:10:18Hold on.

01:10:20And Ric Flair, he cuffed his own son to match.

01:10:22Ric Flair, he never cared about anybody but himself.

01:10:25Ric Flair doesn't.

01:10:26Flair said on Raw Monday, he'll do anything to protect his family.

01:10:30And that's what Ric Flair, a man driven by blind rage, did here tonight.

01:10:36And can you imagine what Ric Flair will do Sunday against The Undertaker in a no disqualification match?

01:10:43Oh, yeah.

01:10:43He's the dirtiest player in the game.

01:10:45And he'll prove it at WrestleMania.

01:10:46I'm sure of that.

01:10:48And up next, Triple H has an announcement regarding WrestleMania.

01:10:54Is the game pulling out of the title match or not?

01:10:57Find out next.

01:12:53and triple h and triple h is a strength wife and triple h is a strength wife and stepper

01:12:56like i said there'll be triple there'll be well there'll be wrestlemania 19 and wrestlemania 20

01:13:02triple h can always you can always wrestle like those hopefully

01:13:05how can you not respect this man as triple h used a lot of effort to get him to the

01:13:10second row

01:13:11but here's a man who's asked for for no sympathy for no empathy

01:13:16i didn't say i didn't respect him i have a world of respect for triple h he's great i mean

01:13:21he went through 80 months of rehabilitation

01:13:24but no telling how long he's gonna have to rehabilitate with his injury he's seen from y2j

01:13:31triple h showing respect to these fans thanking them for all the respect these fans and showing him

01:13:39what are these these long fights to get back to wrestlemania he's had a great career

01:13:45you know if it ends now he can say his goodbyes and walk out with his head how high

01:13:52well he can lift out that is what a tremendous show of respect from this capacity crowd at the gund

01:13:58arena

01:13:58in cleveland

01:14:06monday night chris jericho came to this ring with a sledgehammer

01:14:15and bashed me in the thigh with it

01:14:21jericho just didn't attack any leg

01:14:24he attacked the leg that i had surgically repaired after i tore my quad in may

01:14:32and quite frankly that attack is the reason why i'm standing in this ring tonight

01:14:38with a microphone in my hand

01:14:40and i'm standing in my head and i'm standing in my head and i'm standing in this ring tonight

01:15:12because you see chris jericho did not get the job done

01:15:19what's he saying what does he mean by that michael

01:15:2110 months ago chris jericho put me in the walls of jericho on that announce table after i'd torn my

01:15:30quad

01:15:31tried to take me out of the business

01:15:36but you know what

01:15:40jericho failed because here i am

01:15:45he's still standing

01:15:49and monday night chris jericho tried to once again end my career when he hit me in the leg with

01:15:56a sledgehammer

01:15:57but again chris jericho failed because here i am 100 percent

01:16:11and you see jericho there's something that you don't realize to me

01:16:17it's about pain and pain pain's just temporary but the game chris the game

01:16:30is forever

01:16:38so this sunday i will go to wrestlemania

01:16:44and in the main event i will kick chris jericho's ass and i will become the undisputed world champion

01:16:58because i

01:17:01what the hell does the undisputed champion want

01:17:09he will be in the main event against jericho sunday at wrestlemania

01:17:17well you know maybe triple h is delirious you gotta admit he didn't really sound rational

01:17:22no maybe chris jericho is a desperate man maybe chris jericho knows he can't beat triple h that's

01:17:30why he beat the hell out of him with a sledgehammer on raw hoping to take triple h out of

01:17:35the game

01:17:35oh look at this and this witch

01:17:38it's addictive it's strange life of triple h

01:17:42you know that the million dollar princess is a witch she's miserable

01:17:47i know divorce proceedings aren't civil but this is insane you gotta admit she looks hot

01:18:02great performance triple h i mean well said bravo

01:18:10but are you absolutely certain that you're telling the truth huh are you 100 certain that you're 100

01:18:19percent ready to face the living legend in the main event of wrestlemania for the most prestigious

01:18:26championship in this company or any other's history there's the question for you or are you really

01:18:34lying are you lying to yourself and lying to all these jackasses in the crowd

01:18:44huh because both your wife and i think you're not being completely honest now are you triple h

01:18:55wow i think y2j's calling triple h's bluff

01:19:01hey these fans telling chris jericho what they think of the undisputed champ

01:19:05you know hunter you never were a very good liar yeah she should know all about lying

01:19:14you see tuesday morning i called dr andrews in birmingham alabama the same doctor who operated on

01:19:22your legs some 10 months ago and while dr andrews was very sorry to hear about our marital trouble

01:19:30he was even sorrier to give me the prognosis of your leg you see dr andrews already knew about jericho

01:19:40hitting you in your leg with that sledgehammer because late monday night dr andrews got a phone call

01:19:46from a certain orthopedic surgeon in detroit

01:19:52now that orthopedic surgeon saw you when you were wheeled in monday night by that ambulance and well

01:20:00according to dr andrews uh your quadricep is barely holding together uh-oh you hear that michael

01:20:09really triple h's quadricep is connected by wires i know i saw it with my own eyes

01:20:18and dr andrews said that sledgehammer shot monday night well that's put your quad in such a weakened

01:20:24state that one false move one misstep and one of those wires could snap wow dr andrews

01:20:33said that you should never compete in that ring at least not for another month

01:20:39you're taking a tremendous risk you know what that means hunter if you face the undisputed champion

01:20:45chris jericho at wrestlemania and you make one miscalculation you make one mistake and it could end

01:20:54your career forever wow let me spell that out for you hunter you will never be able to wrestle again

01:21:15and think about this too hunter

01:21:19both you and your little bulldog what was her name lucy

01:21:25you both even got more in common now because neither one of you will ever walk the same again

01:21:37champion chris jericho he's a jackass
