00:00:16VIVA LA RACA
00:00:22I love my cheap, I steal.
00:00:25I love my cheap, I steal.
00:00:29Funtory contest to schedule four.
00:00:31One fall approaching the ring from El Paso, Texas.
00:00:35Weighing in at 228 pounds, one half of the tag team champion, Eddie Guerrero.
00:00:44We are three days away from WrestleMania.
00:00:46And tonight, the final stop on the road to WrestleMania, the sold-out Reliant Arena
00:00:52in Houston, Texas for SmackDown.
00:00:54Hello, everybody.
00:00:55Michael Cole on ringside.
00:00:56Normally, my broadcast colleague Taz would be here, but sadly, Taz had a death in the family.
00:01:02So I'm being joined tonight by Raw's Jerry the King Lawler.
00:01:05King, you picked a great night to be on SmackDown three days from WrestleMania.
00:01:09Well, you're right there, Michael.
00:01:10My condolences to Taz, but I am happy to be here nonetheless and impart a little bit of
00:01:14Raw knowledge to you here at SmackDown.
00:01:17Well, you showed up on a great night because you know what's coming tonight.
00:01:19The official weigh-in for the sumo match at WrestleMania between the Big Show and the
00:01:25legendary grand sumo champion, Aki Bono.
00:01:29It's gonna be a big, maybe the biggest night ever on SmackDown.
00:01:33Eddie Guerrero set for one-on-one action here tonight against Danny Basham.
00:01:37Rumors are flying around the locker room that Eddie Guerrero did not want Rey Mysterio out
00:01:42here for this matchup tonight.
00:01:44And from Columbus, Ohio, weighing in at 250 pounds, Danny Basham.
00:01:50Are you still dealing in all those rumors?
00:01:52Come on, Michael Cole.
00:01:54Let it, let it, you're worse than JR, a rumor monger.
00:01:58Well, apparently, Eddie wanted to prove to himself once again that he can compete at a
00:02:02competitive level in the single scene.
00:02:04Remember, Chavo Guerrero, Eddie's nephew, been stirring things up in the locker room,
00:02:08saying that Eddie can't beat Rey Mysterio, he just tagged along for the ride.
00:02:11I think you're the one that's starting these rumors, stirring things up in the locker room.
00:02:15Come on, Eddie Guerrero has absolutely nothing to prove.
00:02:17The man's one of the greatest of all time.
00:02:19Well, he'll have to prove something come Sunday, because for the first time in
00:02:23WrestleMania history, tag team champions will go one-on-one with each other.
00:02:28Eddie versus Rey at WrestleMania.
00:02:30Oh, you're right.
00:02:31I got to admit, I've been around a long time, Michael, and I've never heard of that before.
00:02:35The Eddie chants begin here in Houston.
00:02:37Eddie and Danny Basham, Basham's former multi-time tag team champions.
00:02:46Here, Basham saying the cabinet, of course, the co-secretaries of defense of the Basham's
00:02:51for WWE champion JBL.
00:02:54And they do a fine job, a fine job of my time.
00:02:57Lock up center of the ring, side headlocked by Latino Heat, Eddie Guerrero,
00:03:00Oh, man, I've missed saying that.
00:03:02Somewhere during the match, I got to say, Latino Heat!
00:03:05Latino Heat.
00:03:06Oh, yes.
00:03:07And Guerrero, tremendous athletic balance for the veteran, the former WWE champion,
00:03:13who defended that WWE title at WrestleMania last year.
00:03:17And there's the bruiser, Danny Basham, kicked out by Eddie.
00:03:20Just looking at Eddie Guerrero, he looks in as good a shape as I've ever seen the champion.
00:03:24So, perhaps Eddie Guerrero, though, is questioning himself.
00:03:28Shabo made some pretty good points about Eddie not being able to beat Rey Mysterio in singles action.
00:03:33Well, you know what?
00:03:35It's the step that Shabo has made some good points.
00:03:37Well, consider the source.
00:03:40Oh, man, what do you got to get Shabo now?
00:03:42Oh, come to the eyes, that's a traditional Eddie Guerrero.
00:03:46Bounces Basham off the top turnbuckle, and Eddie, hammered away with the right hands to Danny Basham.
00:03:51I'm gonna tell you something.
00:03:54Whoa.
00:03:55Oh, nice scoop slam by Basham, hooks the outside leg, shoulders down, and a kick in.
00:03:59I don't care how good a shape you're in, that's gonna hurt.
00:04:02How's it feel sitting out here on ringside?
00:04:04A little closer to the action, I'll tell you.
00:04:06Look at my rearview mirror where it says objects are closer than they appear.
00:04:10We're gonna see some big objects tonight.
00:04:12Here's the cover again by Danny Basham, kicked out by Eddie when Aki Bono and Big Show get into the
00:04:17ring for the big official weigh-in for the sumo match.
00:04:21Once again, Danny Basham back on the assault.
00:04:24Is it difficult, King, for Eddie Guerrero, who's been a tag team champion now for many weeks with Rey Mysterio,
00:04:30to change gears and go into the one-on-one matchup against his partner on Sunday?
00:04:34Well, it's certainly a different situation.
00:04:36Well, I mean, yeah, it is gonna be different to change gears and go against your partner.
00:04:40It's different just going into a single match once you're used to the tag team competition, but to go into
00:04:45a single match against your own partner and a friend of yours.
00:04:48Well, here's Danny again, to the leg, and a kick out.
00:04:51I mean, you say friend, but the more I think about it, I harken back to what Weld Shabo told
00:04:55me earlier, earlier today, that he thinks, and I may agree with him, Rey Mysterio may be holding Eddie back.
00:05:01I don't know how you can say that.
00:05:03They are tag team champions, King.
00:05:06And look at the right hand by Danny, backing Eddie Guerrero into the corner.
00:05:11The former WWE Champion ducks out of the way, bashing him off the top, turnbuckle.
00:05:16Eddie knocking Danny, bashing down.
00:05:18And Latino Heat beginning to fire up a bit.
00:05:22Latino Heat heating up.
00:05:25Eddie across the ring.
00:05:26There's the drop kick.
00:05:27There's that nice, happy move.
00:05:29Great counter to Danny Basher.
00:05:31He's starting to shake the hips a little bit.
00:05:33Well, I'm seeing, you know, I can, I can, I can see that Rey Mysterio could be a little bit
00:05:37envious of a move like that.
00:05:40One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
00:05:42Hey!
00:05:43Look at this.
00:05:43Doug Basher on the apron, distracting Eddie for a moment, but paid for it.
00:05:49And Eddie Guerrero going for the three amigos perhaps.
00:05:53Here's the first suplex, and a second one.
00:05:58Eddie trying to put this one away as he connects with the three amigos to Danny Basher.
00:06:05The momentum is definitely on the side of Latino Heat.
00:06:09Wait a minute.
00:06:10Look at this, Doug Basher just getting Danny out of the ring.
00:06:12The referee never saw it.
00:06:13That's a momentum stopper.
00:06:16Eddie shoved back into the ring.
00:06:18Uh-oh, uh-oh.
00:06:19Wait a minute.
00:06:19Look at this.
00:06:20It's Mysterio.
00:06:22Mysterio and Eddie, here's the cover.
00:06:24Schoolboy.
00:06:24Whoa.
00:06:26Give me a break.
00:06:27Danny Basher stole one.
00:06:29Here's your winner, Danny Basher.
00:06:34Danny Basher didn't steal anything.
00:06:36Rey Mysterio just coming in.
00:06:38He caused Eddie Guerrero to lose that match.
00:06:41That's me.
00:06:42Did you see that?
00:06:43I saw it, but I think Rey was coming out to try to help Eddie.
00:06:46Helping me kicked him right in the head.
00:06:56It was an accident, Eddie.
00:07:01I would never hurt you.
00:07:03I would never hurt you.
00:07:04I would never hurt you.
00:07:09Please, please, believe me, believe me.
00:07:13I would never hurt you.
00:07:13All right.
00:07:17Cooler heads prevailing.
00:07:18Rey Mysterio explaining to his partner that it was indeed an accident.
00:07:22And Eddie bodies.
00:07:23I lie, I cheat, I steal.
00:07:25I lie, I cheat, I steal.
00:07:27I lie, I cheat, I steal.
00:07:27I'm getting this out one more time.
00:07:28I want you to pay close attention here, Michael Cole.
00:07:31But the bastard's cheating.
00:07:34Well, this is not the part I'm talking about.
00:07:35I'm talking about Rey Mysterio comes running down the ring.
00:07:40Look at that, look at that.
00:07:42He sees Eddie, but I believe he's trying to help Eddie.
00:07:45Well, he certainly did.
00:07:47And you think he helped him?
00:07:48Rey explained to Eddie it was an accident.
00:07:50He's still trying to explain.
00:07:53Well, we're three days for WrestleMania on a collision course for
00:07:57the WWE Championship match between John Cena and JBL.
00:08:01And last week here on SmackDown,
00:08:02things got dusty between these two men.
00:08:09The following is a debate that will involve the two men that
00:08:15are competing for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.
00:08:21John Cena must keep his cool.
00:08:23If he strikes the champion JBL,
00:08:25John Cena will lose his title opportunity at WrestleMania.
00:08:29But however, JBL, if you strike John Cena, then John Cena can strike back.
00:08:38You feel me?
00:08:39I want to ask you this, player.
00:08:41What do you need?
00:08:43What do I need to do to get this punk over here to swing at me?
00:08:48Danny Long, what are you getting to my gun?
00:08:50He got a flat tire.
00:08:51What's up with the pink job?
00:08:54I see a limo that says JBL sucks.
00:08:57Danny Long, do something about this.
00:09:00He's not taking you.
00:09:01But I am going to touch a 10-gallon hat.
00:09:03Let's see how many gallons this hat's going on.
00:09:06Dude, that ain't even close to like one gallon.
00:09:08Oh, yeah, by the way, I'm done with the hat.
00:09:10You can have it.
00:09:13You're probably pretty mad right now, huh?
00:09:15You probably want to do something, don't you?
00:09:18I want to kick you up into WrestleMania.
00:09:21You're going to show me what you're going to do at WrestleMania?
00:09:23At WrestleMania?
00:09:25Then show me what you're going to do at WrestleMania.
00:09:27Come on, right here.
00:09:29You throw a punch and I swear I will knock the hell out of you.
00:09:38I bet you stand there thinking that you're clever for not playing my games.
00:09:43And as clever as you think you are, well, I think there's something else.
00:09:48WrestleMania 21, there's people who talk about it.
00:09:52And then there's people who be about it.
00:09:57Let me give you a little preview of what's going to happen to you.
00:10:04Mark my words, Cole.
00:10:06Cena may have pumped out the champ tonight.
00:10:08But at WrestleMania, JBL is going to bring the fight
00:10:12to John Cena, I'm telling you.
00:10:19Look what happened last week after the debate.
00:10:21You lost control, player.
00:10:23No, you have no idea how close I came to losing control.
00:10:27And what would have happened?
00:10:28You would have lost your main event at WrestleMania, Teddy.
00:10:31Because if I would have lost control and I would have jumped on John Cena,
00:10:34there would have been nothing, come hell nor high water, that would have stopped me
00:10:39from destroying him like I will do at WrestleMania.
00:10:42I would have broke his jaw, I would have broke his back, I would have broke his neck.
00:10:45But he would not have made it to WrestleMania.
00:10:48Now think about that.
00:10:48Yeah, you think about this.
00:10:50You busting up in here with all this conversation.
00:10:52Now how about letting me know where you're coming from, dawg?
00:10:54I'll tell you where I'm coming from.
00:10:56You have been trying to take this championship off me since the day that I won it.
00:11:00You have no idea who I am, that I am indeed a wrestling god.
00:11:04You almost robbed me, along with the SmackDown fans, of the gratification of seeing John Cena
00:11:10worship at my feet.
00:11:13Listen to this.
00:11:15I guarantee you this.
00:11:18You think you've had enough of me?
00:11:20You're wrong.
00:11:21Because I guarantee you, I guarantee John Cena, and I guarantee the entire world,
00:11:27that at WrestleMania, I will do as I always do.
00:11:32I will walk out as the WWE Champion.
00:11:38You guarantee that, huh?
00:11:40Yeah.
00:11:41You think you've gotten the better in me?
00:11:43You got another thing coming.
00:11:45Play off.
00:11:53Wow.
00:11:54You heard that, didn't you, Michael Cole?
00:11:56Guaranteed.
00:11:57A guarantee from JBL.
00:11:59And you know, in the past, I mean, that's like money in the bank.
00:12:02Every one of his guarantees have come true.
00:12:04Cruiserweight Championship on the line.
00:12:09Following Battle Royal, it's for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship of the World.
00:12:16Making his way to the ring, from El Paso, Texas, playing in at 200 pounds, is the Cruiserweight Champion of
00:12:24the World, Chavo Guerrero.
00:12:27Since the Cruiserweight Championship is not being defended at WrestleMania, General Manager Long has ordered this championship over the top
00:12:34of Battle Royal, here tonight on SmackDown for the Cruiserweight title.
00:12:39Well, that's one of the few good decisions that I've seen Kenny Long make recently.
00:12:43Well, you got a great GM in Eric Bischoff over there on Raw.
00:12:47Wait a minute, I thought we agreed we weren't gonna hit snippety.
00:12:51You're right, well, again, look at this.
00:12:52One of the Cruiserweight's going after the Champion, Chavo Guerrero, as this Battle Royale's underway.
00:12:57Well, of course.
00:12:59And there goes the Champion eliminated, played out in the box.
00:13:03Wait a minute.
00:13:04So we're guaranteed to have a new Cruiserweight Champion.
00:13:08Can he not restart this, a redo or something, a new over?
00:13:12Well, you can't restart it.
00:13:13I'm still the Champion, I'm the Champion, they cheated, they cheated.
00:13:18It's legal, get cheated.
00:13:19Let go, I'm the champ.
00:13:21Chavo's screaming, I'm still the champ, they cheated.
00:13:23There's obviously some sort of conspiracy, Cole.
00:13:25Well, we will have a new Champion here tonight, nonetheless, and again, the rules of the Battle Royal.
00:13:29You must go over the top rope, both feet must hit the floor like happened to Chavo Guerrero, you're eliminated.
00:13:34Last Man Standing becomes the Cruiserweight Champion.
00:13:37I can't believe it.
00:13:38Oh, it's Seguri from Funaki to Spike Dudley, Funaki a former Cruiserweight Champion.
00:13:42I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.
00:13:44The Champion, the current reigning Champion, eliminated first in the Battle Royal.
00:13:48Well, we will crowd a new champ tonight.
00:13:50Nunzio, Funaki, Scottie, Tuhati, Paul London, Billy Kidman, Akio, look it.
00:13:55Funaki, former Champion, eliminated, as Akio goes right to work on Nunzio.
00:13:59This action is fast and furious.
00:14:01I gotta admit, Michael, this is one of the things I love about SmackDown.
00:14:04One of the reasons I tune in on Thursday nights.
00:14:06Ooh, because you guys have the Cruiserweights.
00:14:08Grab them on Raw, you know?
00:14:09Cruiserweights exclusive to SmackDown.
00:14:11Uh-oh, we're about to have one less here.
00:14:13Yeah, look at Scottie.
00:14:13Scottie wrapped on his head.
00:14:15The Scottie chance beginning here at Raleigh Arena at Houston sold out tonight.
00:14:19Whoa.
00:14:19Scottie lands on the apron.
00:14:21He's back into the race.
00:14:21He's still in.
00:14:22He's still in the matchup.
00:14:24Paul London and Spike Dudley going at it.
00:14:27Akio, Scottie, Tuhati, that's Billy Kidman and Nunzio in the corner.
00:14:30Oh, look at this.
00:14:31Spike in trouble.
00:14:33Paul London trying to eliminate the former Cruiserweight Champion.
00:14:35Hanging up for dear life.
00:14:37Both feet did not hit the floor, Spike Dudley.
00:14:39Watch yourself, Nunzio, Nunzio!
00:14:41Nunzio eliminated, right here in front of us.
00:14:43Hey.
00:14:44So we are down to five Cruiserweights.
00:14:46The last man standing will win the Cruiserweight Championship.
00:14:49Spike Dudley in the clothesline.
00:14:51Ooh, big headbutt to the gut of Paul London.
00:14:53I'll tell you, if anyone deserves to be in this matchup, it's Paul London,
00:14:58but on a tremendous role in recent weeks.
00:15:01Well, I'm sure you'd get an argument from Scottie Tuhati as you would Spike Dudley.
00:15:07All of these guys think they're very deserving.
00:15:08And look at this, London in trouble.
00:15:10Akio misclosed, a big kick to the jaw by Scottie Tuhati.
00:15:15Back body drop to Billy Kidman.
00:15:18Wait a minute.
00:15:21Are we gonna see it?
00:15:23Spike Dudley kicked to the midsection.
00:15:25It's been a long time since I've seen Scottie's Worm.
00:15:27Look at Spike with this in the corner.
00:15:31Oh, you might see it now.
00:15:33Yes.
00:15:35Okay, here we go.
00:15:40You're gonna call this or am I?
00:15:42Go ahead.
00:15:43W-O-R-M.
00:15:47Scottie with the Lord.
00:15:49Can he connect?
00:15:51Remember, Scottie did this to the champion JBL last week.
00:15:56And then, of course, you forgot to mention that JBL annihilated Scottie.
00:15:59Oh, he did.
00:15:59Oh, kick him annihilation.
00:16:02Eliminated by Scottie Tuhati.
00:16:04What a kick.
00:16:05Don't go too long, Scottie.
00:16:06We're down to four as Billy Kidman blindside Scottie Tuhati.
00:16:10The winner of this battle royal will be the new Cruiserweight champion.
00:16:13You can't stand around in a match like this.
00:16:15You gotta keep moving.
00:16:17No dog ever peed on a moving car.
00:16:19You gotta keep going in a match like this.
00:16:23We have a new champion here.
00:16:25Billy Kidman, the only one in the ring that's been a Cruiserweight champion here in the WWE.
00:16:28We will have a new champion.
00:16:30Oh, yes.
00:16:30Oh, look at that.
00:16:31Paul London to the midsection.
00:16:33Paul London.
00:16:34Look at the new kick to the back.
00:16:37This Paul London is very, very impressive.
00:16:40As are all of these Cruiserweights.
00:16:41I love these guys.
00:16:42By all rights, Paul London should have won the Cruiserweight championship in
00:16:45the match.
00:16:45No way out last month.
00:16:50Whipped into the quarters, Kidman.
00:16:52Scottie Tuhati lands on the apron.
00:16:56Scottie with a close line.
00:16:58And Akio!
00:16:58And it's Scottie with a thrust kick from the top rope.
00:17:01So we're down to three.
00:17:03Akio, London, and Billy Kidman.
00:17:05New Cruiserweight champion will be crowned here tonight on SmackDown.
00:17:09If he will, it won't be Scottie Tuhati.
00:17:11I gotta admit, he might have been one of my personal favorites.
00:17:14One of my picks in this match.
00:17:16Take another look.
00:17:17Check out the thrust kick.
00:17:19Perfect timing by Akio.
00:17:20Right to Scottie Tuhati.
00:17:22Look at that.
00:17:23Moonstall off the second rope, takes out Akio.
00:17:26And there's Kidman in London, the former tag team partners.
00:17:29What a drop kick.
00:17:30Before Kidman turned his back on his partner.
00:17:33And there's that jealousy, that personal animosity coming out of
00:17:36Billy Kidman again here tonight.
00:17:38I don't see any of that.
00:17:39I just see every man for himself.
00:17:40Well, it was every man for himself, but working as a team now.
00:17:43What about Paul London?
00:17:44Paul London trying to hold on off the double team.
00:17:47Paul London lands on the apron, scoots back into the ring.
00:17:51That's it, these guys are quick.
00:17:55Tremendous presence of Paul London to make his way back into the ring.
00:17:59But he's suffering a two-on-one assault here.
00:18:02He has things, certainly don't look good for Paul London at this point.
00:18:06Across the ring, double elbow by Kidman and Akio.
00:18:09It might just be a matter of time before Paul London's eliminated.
00:18:15Okay, come on, give me a pick.
00:18:16Go out on a limb.
00:18:17Billy Kidman.
00:18:18What do you think?
00:18:18You only got one out of three.
00:18:19Billy Kidman?
00:18:20That's what I was gonna say.
00:18:21Okay, great.
00:18:23We said Raw and SmackDown can't agree.
00:18:25Well, goodbye.
00:18:26Paul London hanging on to the top rope for dear life.
00:18:29Kidman with a blow to the back of the head and Akio again.
00:18:31And these two men trying to do all they can to eliminate London and
00:18:34they haven't been able to do it yet.
00:18:36It looked like the time David Letterman got thrown in with that Velcro suit.
00:18:39He just stuck to the wall.
00:18:42Double jump by Paul London.
00:18:45Takes out Akio and Billy Kidman.
00:18:47And that's what Paul London brings to the table.
00:18:50Unorthodox offense, the unorthodox style.
00:18:52Remind me never to have dinner with him.
00:18:54Look at that.
00:18:55Picking the side of the head by London.
00:18:57I still can't believe that Chavo Guerrero, I mean, lost his title.
00:19:01Not only losing his title here now, he doesn't know who's gonna be the new champion,
00:19:04but he was the first one eliminated in this match.
00:19:06Seconds into the matchup is all the superstars.
00:19:10Grabbed Chavo Guerrero and threw him over the top rope.
00:19:12You know, conspiracy?
00:19:14It was obvious.
00:19:15Perhaps.
00:19:16He's got a legitimate defense, look at him.
00:19:18He lands on the apron.
00:19:19What agility.
00:19:20Kidman having words.
00:19:22And we got Kidman bounces off of Akio.
00:19:24Eliminated Akio.
00:19:26And we are now down to former friends, former tag team champions.
00:19:29So close to the floor, his feet did not punch.
00:19:34Are you sure?
00:19:35A positive.
00:19:36Look at that.
00:19:36Kidman eliminated.
00:19:38Kidman eliminated.
00:19:39Paul London is the new champion.
00:19:41My gosh.
00:19:42Here is your winner.
00:19:43Uh-oh.
00:19:44Look at Billy Kidman grabbing the legs of Paul London.
00:19:47Talking about being a sore loser.
00:19:50I can't believe it.
00:19:52Talking about being an excited winner.
00:19:54Look at this.
00:19:54Yes.
00:19:55Here is your winner.
00:19:56And the new Cruiserweight champion of the world, Paul London.
00:20:03Paul London elated with his victory.
00:20:07An outpouring of emotion here tonight as Paul London wins the battle royal to become Cruiserweight champion for the first
00:20:14time in the WWE.
00:20:15Check this out one more time.
00:20:18I want you to watch, watch, watch Paul London's feet.
00:20:20Are there very, very close.
00:20:23Oh, he didn't hit.
00:20:25I'll tell you, we'll see.
00:20:27Another angle.
00:20:28Never touched.
00:20:30Never touched.
00:20:31Never touched.
00:20:31Never touched, but Billy Kidman touched.
00:20:34Kidman eliminated.
00:20:34Not only beat his entire body.
00:20:36Hit the floor.
00:20:36Paul London, the new Cruiserweight champion as he wins the battle royal here tonight in his home state of Texas.
00:20:44What a match.
00:20:46That was great.
00:20:48Uh-oh.
00:20:50Rely on arena here in Houston, Texas.
00:20:52Mighty big car.
00:20:55Whoa.
00:20:57And a mighty big man.
00:20:59Mighty big man is right.
00:21:00The most celebrated Grand Sumo Champion in history.
00:21:03Aki Bono is here tonight for the official weigh in with the big show as they prepare for
00:21:09their sumo match at WrestleMania.
00:21:11Wow, his guy is a giant.
00:21:13Get out the wide screen lenses.
00:21:46Uh-uh.
00:21:54Now, I know what you're thinking.
00:21:56Did he fire six shots?
00:21:58Or was it only five?
00:22:00Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I kind of lost track myself.
00:22:05But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world,
00:22:10it would blow your head clean off.
00:22:12You have to ask yourself one question.
00:22:15Do I feel lucky?
00:22:18Well, do you, punk?
00:22:35You have to ask yourself one question.
00:22:41I gots to know.
00:22:42I gots to know.
00:23:03WrestleMania goes Hollywood.
00:23:06Live Sunday April 3rd, only on pay-per-view.
00:23:08You, son of a bitch.
00:23:16What'd you just say?
00:23:34Well, King, have you voted yet?
00:23:37Yes, I voted early and open.
00:23:39The WrestleMania Trailer Awards.
00:23:42Voting is open at WWE.com in all these categories.
00:23:46I was actually nominated.
00:23:48I know.
00:23:48Most shocking moment.
00:23:50I actually voted for you, Mike.
00:23:51You did?
00:23:52Yeah.
00:23:52WrestleMania Trailer Awards voting open right now at WWE.com.
00:23:59Come on, man.
00:24:01Come in.
00:24:03Put these girls.
00:24:04No, they drop me.
00:24:05What up, dog?
00:24:05Eddie, man.
00:24:06It's great to see you tonight.
00:24:07Look at you, man.
00:24:08You got that blue suit with the stripes.
00:24:10You're looking like a man of authority, a man who knows what's doing, man.
00:24:13Don't try to play me, player.
00:24:14No.
00:24:15What do you want?
00:24:16All right, look, look, look.
00:24:17We're in Texas tonight.
00:24:19You probably have some big assignment for Carlito.
00:24:21You probably want him to, I don't know, put on a cowboy hat, sing country music.
00:24:26That's all great, but Carlito has a better idea.
00:24:29What's that?
00:24:30I say we put Carlito back in the ring tonight.
00:24:34You?
00:24:35Wrestling?
00:24:35Me back in the ring.
00:24:36Yeah, look at the shoulder, man.
00:24:36You got to be kidding, man.
00:24:37I'm serious.
00:24:37Look, look, look at the shoulder.
00:24:38Hey.
00:24:39I can't do that, player.
00:24:40Why?
00:24:40No, why not?
00:24:40Because you haven't been medically cleared.
00:24:42No, no, I got cleared.
00:24:42The doctor, um, you got emailed.
00:24:44The doctor, I told him to send you a message to tell him that.
00:24:47Well, look at it.
00:24:48You're not wearing your sling tonight.
00:24:49No, no, sling, man.
00:24:49Look at it, I can punch a guy, I do whatever.
00:24:51Look, throw the apple.
00:24:52Tell you what, I got a better assignment.
00:24:54No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
00:24:58the assignments, I mean, you know, they're great.
00:25:00I mean, you've had me shovel snow, sell hot dogs last week, dress up like Elvis.
00:25:11I mean, you know, that's fine and dandy, but, but, but, but you're a general manager that looks
00:25:15out for what the fans want.
00:25:17They don't want to see Carlito doing that.
00:25:19They want to see Carlito back in the ring, and you can do that.
00:25:22So you're ready to wrestle?
00:25:23I'm ready to wrestle, man.
00:25:24Look, I'm ready.
00:25:25I'm ready, man.
00:25:25Makes no difference who your opponent is.
00:25:27Oh, Carlito doesn't care who it is.
00:25:28Anybody.
00:25:29Anybody.
00:25:29Carlito wrestle anybody.
00:25:30Tell you what I'm going to do for you, player.
00:25:32I'm going to give you your first match, and you're going to have it right here tonight.
00:25:36Yes.
00:25:37And you know who your opponent's going to be?
00:25:38Who are you?
00:25:39He's going to hold?
00:25:39No, your opponent is going to be John Cena.
00:25:48Uh, uh, Cena?
00:25:51That's cool, ain't it?
00:25:52Uh, uh, yeah, uh.
00:25:55Well, I suggest you better hurry up and get ready.
00:25:58Oh.
00:26:01Holla.
00:26:04Oh, my.
00:26:05Not quite what Carlito wanted.
00:26:07He's going to have to face John Cena tonight for his first match in months.
00:26:10You got that right.
00:26:11Paul Carlito's been off more than he could chew, and it's not an apple.
00:26:15It's John Cena.
00:26:16Carlito and Cena tonight.
00:26:23Hey, hey, hey.
00:26:26Perdóname, güey.
00:26:26Calmate, calmate.
00:26:27Sorry, Carmen.
00:26:28I mean, I'm...
00:26:29Relax, man.
00:26:30Relax, I'm not mad.
00:26:32I mean, uh, you didn't do that on purpose, did you, man?
00:26:35That wasn't...
00:26:36You didn't really mean that, did you?
00:26:37No, no, Carmen, please.
00:26:39It was an accident, like you were saying?
00:26:40Of course, man.
00:26:41I would never do that to you, Eddie.
00:26:44Man, I know, man.
00:26:45I don't even know why I'm doubting you.
00:26:47Listen, you just got to understand my frustration, moms.
00:26:50I mean, I was Danny Basham.
00:26:52Everybody knows I can be Danny Basham, you know?
00:26:55I mean, I mean...
00:26:56Yeah, man, I just...
00:26:58I just wish we had another shot at those guys, you know?
00:27:00Something like a tag team, or if you had Doug Basham later tonight,
00:27:05or if I had another shot at Danny, or...
00:27:09I can wrestle Doug Basham, Eddie.
00:27:12Man, you're not even scheduled for tonight.
00:27:14Man, what are you talking about?
00:27:15No, no, no, no, but I could talk to Teddy Long.
00:27:17I could wrestle Doug Basham tonight.
00:27:20You know what?
00:27:21I said, that's a good idea, homes.
00:27:22Yes, sir.
00:27:22You go talk.
00:27:23You do that, I said?
00:27:24Yes, yes, I'll do it for both of us.
00:27:26Orale, homes.
00:27:27Simón?
00:27:27Simón, that's it.
00:27:28That's why I love you, Ray.
00:27:30Yeah, man, you're always thinking about the raza, huh?
00:27:33Always, always.
00:27:33You know what, homes?
00:27:35Just like you had my back, I'll have yours.
00:27:38Gracias, caral, I know you.
00:27:39Oale, man, no.
00:27:40Animo, no.
00:27:41You can do that, esse.
00:28:01We are back on SmackDown, and can you believe, King,
00:28:04we're just three days away from WrestleMania goes Hollywood.
00:28:07Oh, I'm telling you, I can hardly wait, it's gonna be huge.
00:28:10Luther Reigns set for action.
00:28:13Got a big match tonight, baby, you ready?
00:28:15Yeah, I'm ready, I'm ready.
00:28:16Okay, come on, what's the game plan?
00:28:17You know my game plan.
00:28:18Tell me, come on.
00:28:19You know I'm in 8th style, Houston, Texas.
00:28:21That's right, baby.
00:28:22The home of Booker T, the five-time WCW champion.
00:28:26You know I'm gonna go out here tonight, and I'm gonna have me some fun.
00:28:30Fun?
00:28:30Hell yeah.
00:28:31This ain't about fun, this is about business.
00:28:34Right before Luther Reigns went out, I heard him say he was gonna give you a beat down.
00:28:37You didn't say that.
00:28:38Oh, I said it.
00:28:39No, no, you didn't say that.
00:28:40I said it, and I meant it, so what you gonna do?
00:28:42Tell me you didn't just say that.
00:28:45You're a strong man, you're a proud man, I need this win.
00:28:48Come on, give me that five-time, baby.
00:28:49Come on, what you gonna do?
00:28:51I'm gonna go out here, and I'm gonna break this sucker a little piece of some proper life.
00:28:56Now, can you dig that, sucker?
00:29:01Well, that is Booker T's new bride, Charvel, they win right here in Houston.
00:29:06Wow.
00:29:09He is laying down the law.
00:29:11He wants to see a victory, doesn't he?
00:29:13He's only been married about three weeks.
00:29:15Well, I'll tell you, the man doesn't know what real happiness is until he's married.
00:29:20Then he's too late.
00:29:24Following contest, he's gonna go for one fall.
00:29:30From Houston, Texas, weighing in at 256 pounds, Booker T.
00:29:37Well, King Booker T all fired up to be here tonight in his hometown of Houston,
00:29:41Texas.
00:29:42We're sold out at the Reliant Arena.
00:29:44But this man, Luther Raines, has something to prove here tonight as well.
00:29:48Raines was embarrassed last week at the hands of the Big Show.
00:29:52Yes, he was.
00:29:52In my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, they're still buzzing about it.
00:29:56Luther Raines drove a Jeep out here.
00:29:58Told the Big Show that he should be in the sumo match against Akibono.
00:30:02Luther Raines said he was gonna push the Jeep around, couldn't budget.
00:30:05Big Show tipped the 4,400-pound Jeep over on its side.
00:30:10Speaking of the Big Show, the big weigh-in with Akibono here tonight
00:30:14for the WrestleMania sumo match.
00:30:16Well, that was impressive, Big Show tipping over a 4,400-pound Jeep.
00:30:20Now, I know Akibono's a big man, but even he doesn't weigh 4,400 pounds, does he?
00:30:26Look at this.
00:30:27And Booker T beating off this crowd here in his hometown of Houston.
00:30:35I love it.
00:30:39It's like the coach in the back.
00:30:41Yes.
00:30:41Look at this now, Booker T, lock up center of the ring with a near 300-pound.
00:30:45Luther Raines, five-time WCW champion, backed into the corner.
00:30:49We have word now from General Manager Theodore Long's office, King, that Rey Mysterio will
00:30:54indeed go one-on-one with Doug Basham here tonight.
00:30:59The match has been named.
00:31:00That's good.
00:31:00I think that's a great idea.
00:31:02That and Rey Mysterio chance to redeem himself, hopefully.
00:31:05Another great idea, as we heard earlier, too.
00:31:07Carlito's having his first match in a few months, coming back from a shoulder injury
00:31:10against the number one contender for the WWE title, John Cena.
00:31:15I don't know if that's a great idea or not.
00:31:16I think he got a little bit manipulated.
00:31:19Manipulated?
00:31:20Hey, Carlito, shouldn't it be me, fighting like Kenny Hogg his job a few months back,
00:31:25as Booker T threw it as the top sit-out right hand.
00:31:30Working on that left arm of Luther Raines.
00:31:34Booker T, a high kick to the stern.
00:31:36Your wife is watching, Booker T.
00:31:38Get it done.
00:31:41How long have they been married?
00:31:42About three weeks.
00:31:45Side slam, hook of the leg, and a kick out.
00:31:47Reminds me of one of my marriages.
00:31:49Which one?
00:31:53Booker T, got caught up on the top rope.
00:31:57Luther Raines, the wherewithal to duck out of the way.
00:31:59Could be a turning point of the match for Luther Raines.
00:32:02Big kick knocks Booker T off the apron.
00:32:07I think I probably need to talk to Booker T, give him a little advice.
00:32:14What advice would you give him?
00:32:15Booker is driven, kidney first into the apron.
00:32:19Let's see if Luther Raines had done that to that beat, to that jeep last week.
00:32:23Booker T put up on the top rope and that has allowed Luther Raines to take control of the matchup
00:32:29here.
00:32:29That's definitely a momentum changer right there.
00:32:31As Luther Raines pitches as they come in and out of prison.
00:32:36Stabbed, shot, solitary can find them for a time.
00:32:39And there's a big clothesline.
00:32:41Raines into the car, hooks the leg, Booker T kicks out.
00:32:45I knew he had been to prison.
00:32:46How'd you know that?
00:32:47The time we went shopping at the mall, he tried to pay for everything in cigarettes.
00:32:51So suddenly Luther Raines needs to redeem himself.
00:32:54He was, he humiliated himself last week.
00:32:57And he drove the jeep down here and claimed he could do it.
00:33:00And then he said it was his jeep.
00:33:01And that's Big Show if he was laughing at him.
00:33:03Got chokespammed in the window of the rain.
00:33:06Broken windshield and then tipped over on the side.
00:33:13Again, driving Booker T to the mat below.
00:33:16Luther Raines near 300 pounds of power.
00:33:20Uh-oh, look out Luther Raines for that swinging neck breaker.
00:33:24The end could be near here.
00:33:26Booker T, right counter, knees to the midsection.
00:33:31The veteran Booker T taking advantage of a window of opportunity there.
00:33:36The entire ring shook you right near 300 pounds, but.
00:33:40Booker blocks the right hand, right hand again by Booker T.
00:33:42Booker trying to build momentum.
00:33:44I fetch chop to the throat, and another one.
00:33:46Backing Luther Raines up to the ropes.
00:33:48Big knee to the gut.
00:33:51Luther Raines near 300.
00:33:52Why do you think Rocky Bona was gonna tip the scales out?
00:33:54I can't, I don't think I could venture again.
00:33:56You're good again.
00:33:57I bet around 500 pounds, a quarter of a ton probably.
00:34:02Here's Luther Raines, ripped across the ring.
00:34:04Booker T with a kick to the jaw.
00:34:06Booker knocking Luther Raines down, and Booker's beginning to feel it.
00:34:10Come on, Booker, kill me.
00:34:15Here's the reversal.
00:34:16Thought it was a reversal.
00:34:17Booker T counted on his own.
00:34:19And a Spinebuster.
00:34:20Clamps Luther Raines, center of the ring.
00:34:23You know what I'm waiting for, don't you?
00:34:24I know what you're waiting for, and you don't get it here.
00:34:26I want to see the spin-a-rooney.
00:34:28The hometown spin-a-rooney.
00:34:32There it is.
00:34:34That's a Houston spin-a-rooney for Booker T.
00:34:36Long time since you saw that person.
00:34:38Yes, sir.
00:34:39Missed with a big kick.
00:34:40Luther Raines ducked underneath, missed with a close line.
00:34:42Kick to the midsection.
00:34:44Booker bounces off the ropes.
00:34:45Scissors kick.
00:34:46Catches Luther Raines.
00:34:48Scrolls to the cover.
00:34:49Hook to the rope.
00:34:50Shoulders down.
00:34:51Booker T.
00:34:52Victorious.
00:34:55Here's your winner, Booker T.
00:35:00Smile on the face of Booker T.
00:35:01And somewhere in the back, there's an even bigger smile on the face of Booker's wife,
00:35:06Jarmel, don't you think?
00:35:07Booker T picking up the victory over Luther Raines here tonight.
00:35:10A hometown victory.
00:35:12Some home cooking for Booker T here tonight on SmackDown.
00:35:19Booker T will be having some good home cooking later on tonight, won't he?
00:35:23Way to go, Booker.
00:35:24Pictures are already on WWE.com.
00:35:26All right, thanks, player.
00:35:27Hey, we're having a good night tonight.
00:35:29We're having a big show.
00:35:30Akebono weigh in.
00:35:31We got a new Cruiserweight champion.
00:35:33And hey, dog, I want you to put this on the net and I want you to do it right
00:35:36now.
00:35:37Yes, sir.
00:35:38Carlito versus John Cena.
00:35:40You got that?
00:35:41That's good.
00:35:42All right.
00:35:44Wrestlemania is three days away.
00:35:46Everybody gonna holla, holla, holla.
00:35:48All right.
00:35:50I ain't believe in this.
00:35:53Cowboy Ballboy future Hall of Famer.
00:35:56What's up, y'all?
00:35:57Been a long time.
00:35:58It's been a long time.
00:35:59Good to see you, man.
00:36:00Good to see you.
00:36:01Did you come by to this say hello?
00:36:03I mean, we weren't expecting you until the Hall of Fame ceremony, man.
00:36:05It's not a planned trip.
00:36:06I was on my way to LA and then I thought I had to come down because quite frankly,
00:36:12Teddy Randy's got me worried now.
00:36:14The kid is weighing over his head.
00:36:16What he's done with The Undertaker, you know, at first you're proud of it and then all of a sudden,
00:36:20by golly, I think he's gone a little bit too far and the boy's gonna get hurt.
00:36:24I'm pleading with you to let me talk to The Undertaker tonight.
00:36:29Talk to The Undertaker?
00:36:30Teddy, I've tried talking to Randy.
00:36:32It don't work.
00:36:33You're a father.
00:36:34You know.
00:36:34Yeah, but-
00:36:35The kids won't listen to us.
00:36:36Yeah, but talking to The Undertaker,
00:36:37Bob, that's not a good idea.
00:36:38Well, I can't get Randy to listen.
00:36:40Maybe I can get The Undertaker to do so.
00:36:43Gosh darn it, I gotta try to do something, Teddy.
00:36:45I'm at wit's end here.
00:36:49Well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
00:36:51Now, ordinarily, I wouldn't recommend it.
00:36:54But tonight, I will allow it.
00:36:58By golly, Teddy, thank you very much.
00:37:00It's greatly appreciated.
00:37:01The ring is yours right now.
00:37:03Amen.
00:37:14Oh, wait a minute.
00:37:19There's Austin.
00:37:20Wait a minute.
00:37:22Austin is a good one.
00:37:23He's gonna lay him in here.
00:37:24Austin tearing the equipment.
00:37:26Austin's raising hell.
00:37:28Well, yeah.
00:37:29Stone Cold.
00:37:30Stone Cold is here.
00:37:32What you got now?
00:37:34He's gonna cut.
00:37:35He'll be on party.
00:37:36Get him through.
00:37:37Oh, yeah.
00:37:39Austin got McMahon.
00:37:40Get him.
00:37:41Get him.
00:37:42Mr. McMahon has got a small dose of a wide box set
00:37:46that he's not covered.
00:37:52And in three days in WrestleMania,
00:37:54King, two of the most controversial,
00:37:56say what they mean, superstars in WWE history.
00:38:00Piper's pick becomes a rattlesnake.
00:38:02Pit Sunday.
00:38:03Oh, you're right.
00:38:04And you see right there, Piper has been known
00:38:07to do some odd, strange, weird things in Piper's Fit.
00:38:10But he better not mess with the rattlesnake.
00:38:12It will bite.
00:38:16Ladies and gentlemen, right now it gives me great pleasure
00:38:18to introduce a man who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame
00:38:23this Saturday.
00:38:25After a 20-year career, he is the father of Randy Orton.
00:38:31Please welcome Hall of Famer, Cowboy Bob Orton.
00:38:39Well, I think that Bob Orton King has a lot more on his mind
00:38:43than being inducted into the Hall of Fame Saturday.
00:38:46A concerned father moments ago with general manager Theodore Long
00:38:49saying that Randy will not listen to him.
00:38:51He can't talk any sense into his son
00:38:53about facing The Undertaker come Sunday.
00:38:56So Bob Orton is going to call The Undertaker out here tonight
00:38:59and try to level with The Undertaker.
00:39:01I guess at least I think that's what he's going to try to do.
00:39:05Well, I mean, you know what?
00:39:07Being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
00:39:09should be the only thing on that man's mind this week.
00:39:12That's going to be the greatest week in his life.
00:39:13That should be all he has to worry about.
00:39:15But in this situation, you're right,
00:39:17things between this man's son and The Undertaker
00:39:19have gotten way out of hand.
00:39:21Randy Orton, some odd behavior over the past few weeks.
00:39:25You've seen it on Raw as well as here on SmackDown.
00:39:28RKO this whole year over at Stacey Keeper.
00:39:31I couldn't believe my eyes.
00:39:32Boy, I'll tell you, after 20 years,
00:39:34it sure feels good to get back in a WWE ring.
00:39:41But I come here tonight with mixed emotions.
00:39:45I'm very, very proud of the fact that I had a great career.
00:39:50Randy Sucks, Randy Sucks, Randy Sucks, Randy Sucks, Randy Sucks.
00:39:56Randy Sucks, Randy Sucks, Randy Sucks.
00:39:58Referring to Orton's son, Randy Orton.
00:40:00Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:02And I'm very, very proud of the fact that I've been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
00:40:08I'm also proud of the fact that I molded Randy Orton, the legend killer,
00:40:14into one of the greatest wrestlers in this ring today.
00:40:18Yeah, you did that.
00:40:20That's a fact.
00:40:25But that's what brought me to Houston tonight.
00:40:30Because I'd like to talk to the Undertaker.
00:40:32And I'd appreciate it
00:40:37very much if the Undertaker had come down to the ring tonight and at least just hear me out.
00:40:47Quite honestly, I can't believe this.
00:40:50I want to have a death wish or something.
00:41:07Looks like Cowboy Bob's gonna get his wish, Michael.
00:41:10The problem is, King, is the Undertaker has not been in the most pleasant of moods as of late
00:41:15after being slapped by Randy Orton a few weeks back.
00:41:19In fact, last week on SmackDown, the Undertaker promised a sacrifice that he delivered with a
00:41:25tombstone piledriver on the steel steps to Rene Dupree.
00:41:30Oh my gosh, there he is.
00:41:32Without a doubt, that's why Bob Orton is here tonight.
00:41:35I know for a fact that Bob Orton told his son Randy that that may have been the biggest mistake
00:41:41of Randy's life when he slapped that man, the Undertaker.
00:41:48In the latest edition, King, of the SmackDown Magazine, in an article called For Whom the Bell Tolls,
00:41:54it says while the Undertaker has the confidence that comes with the undefeated streak in
00:41:58WrestleMania, we cannot ignore the fact that Randy Orton is unlike any other opponent he has ever faced.
00:42:04And if you look at the resume for the legend killer Randy Orton, names like The Rock,
00:42:10Jake the Snake Roberts, Mick Foley, Harley Race, Sergeant Slaughter.
00:42:16Do you believe in your mind that perhaps The Undertaker will be added to the Legend
00:42:21Killer's hit list?
00:42:22I realize that, and if you look at that list, and that is an illustrious list of legends that
00:42:28have gone down in the hands of Randy Orton.
00:42:31But don't forget what he did to his own girlfriend Stacy Keebler in order to send a message to people
00:42:38who doubt him, and to send a message to that man, and if that message wasn't strong enough,
00:42:43he actually slapped The Undertaker.
00:42:50I'm afraid of it that maybe, maybe Randy Orton's gone too far,
00:42:56and he's gone to a place there's no coming back from.
00:43:04Oh man, and can you imagine what is going through the mind of that man?
00:43:09The father of Randy Orton, Cowboy Mawboy.
00:43:13I know if it were me, it'd be panicked, but he looks...
00:43:18Well, he's a father, King.
00:43:20He's out here for the love of his son, to protect his son from what he probably believes
00:43:26will be irreparable damage Sunday at WrestleMania because of the mood that Randy Orton has put
00:43:31The Undertaker in.
00:43:32Now, you don't have to take off the coat there, Undertaker.
00:43:35He just wants to talk to you.
00:43:41I'm getting a bad feeling about this, Michael.
00:43:49There is no presence like that of The Legendary Undertaker.
00:43:55Whoa, whoa, whoa, Undertaker, the last thing I want is trouble.
00:43:59I want no trouble with you whatsoever.
00:44:02I just wish you'd hear me out.
00:44:21When Randy come to me, Taker, about WrestleMania, and he asked me what he should do, I told him,
00:44:27go in the back, grab the biggest, meanest, toughest guy back there, and call him out.
00:44:32And by golly, that's what he done.
00:44:34And just by him doing that shows a ton of respect for you.
00:44:38He thinks you're the biggest, baddest guy in the back, and by God, I do too.
00:44:43But I think he's taken things just a little bit too far.
00:44:47I mean, the thing he did with Stacy Keebler, the thing he did with Jake the Snake Roberts,
00:44:52and I want to tell you something, man, he showed great respect by calling you out,
00:44:57and he showed nothing but disrespect when he slapped you in the face.
00:45:02And I would like to apologize for that, because it's partly my fault.
00:45:10But then, Undertaker, I watched Raw, I watched SmackDown, and when I saw you drop that Frenchman on his head,
00:45:19I said to myself, I got to do something.
00:45:21Not that I care about the Frenchman, because I don't, but I care about my son.
00:45:27I love him dearly, and by golly, I think he's gone way, he's gone way overboard in this thing.
00:45:33I just wish that you would go ahead and put the beast back to sleep.
00:45:41Go out there, man on man, you and Randy will have one of the greatest matches Wrestlemania has ever seen.
00:45:49And I'm just asking you to please listen to me.
00:45:52Randy, I think, is the future of this business, but not if you take him out at Wrestlemania 21.
00:46:05I'm just asking you, man, please.
00:46:25It took one slap.
00:46:32One slap across my face.
00:46:37Sealed your son's fate.
00:46:44This Sunday at Wrestlemania, Randy Orton will rest in peace.
00:47:08Undertaker, I've never in my life knelt down to any man.
00:47:13But by God, I'm going to do it right now, and I'm going to beg you, please.
00:47:18Have mercy on my son.
00:47:23Please.
00:47:34Taker, I'm begging you, man, I'm begging you.
00:47:43Hey, hey, RKO, my God, that's Randy Orton, that was Randy Orton and RKO to The Undertaker.
00:47:51What?
00:47:56What the?
00:47:58Not yet, Randy Orton.
00:48:00Not yet, Randy Orton.
00:48:07Wait, was this the set up?
00:48:09Was this all the set up?
00:48:11Look at Bob Orton.
00:48:12He looks like the proud father.
00:48:16My.
00:48:18My, he's right.
00:48:20The RKO took The Undertaker down.
00:48:31Moments ago a diabolical plan hatched by Randy Orton.
00:48:35His father, Cowboy Bob Orton, calling The Undertaker to the ring to plead for
00:48:39leniency for his son at WrestleMania.
00:48:41Taker, I'm begging you, man, I'm begging you.
00:48:46But it was a trap, King.
00:48:52RKO delivered to perfection by Randy Orton.
00:48:56What? Watch the smile on the face of Cowboy Bob Orton.
00:49:00He knew it was coming.
00:49:01He saw it was coming.
00:49:05Now The Undertaker trying to sit back up after The RKO and couldn't quite do it.
00:49:13And I'll tell you, after all the things that Randy Orton has done, first the RKO to his girlfriend Stacy
00:49:19Keebler.
00:49:20But now tonight, to use his own father, to drag his father in this, to hatch this diabolical plan, it
00:49:27was all a setup.
00:49:28What else is Randy Orton gonna do?
00:49:30Calm down, you're gonna blow a gasket.
00:49:31I'll tell you right now what Randy Orton's gonna do, and I'm gonna say this with pride.
00:49:35Raw's Randy Orton, yes, is gonna end The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
00:49:41That's what's gonna happen.
00:49:42You understand what I'm saying?
00:49:43Don't bet on it.
00:49:44I'm so excited.
00:49:45Don't bet on it.
00:49:46Nonetheless, The Basham's in the ring.
00:49:48Doug Basham's set for action.
00:49:49Going one-on-one with Rey Mysterio.
00:49:52And that's set up earlier on tonight by the General Manager.
00:49:57Whoa!
00:50:00What an exciting night this has been here at SmackDown.
00:50:02Yeah, that's what it's all about.
00:50:06The following contest is scheduled for one fall, making his way to the ring from San Diego,
00:50:13California, weighing in at 170 pounds, one half of the Tag Team Champions, Rey Mysterio.
00:50:23Hey, Rey, get a shot of me over here.
00:50:25That's the 619 camp, King, as Rey Mysterio gets set for action earlier on tonight.
00:50:30Over here, Eddie Guerrero went one-on-one with Danny Basham.
00:50:35Rey Mysterio did not come out to the ring initially, apparently, but Eddie requested that.
00:50:40But at the end of the matchup, Rey Mysterio would come out to help his tag team partner
00:50:44after Basham interference, and it backfired.
00:50:47That's the way you see it, huh?
00:50:48That's the way I see it.
00:50:49He must have most of the contact lenses in the same eye.
00:50:51Look, that's no help if you ask me.
00:50:55That's the two-feet right to the head of Eddie Guerrero to come to the match.
00:50:57Well, nonetheless, Eddie Guerrero talking to Rey Mysterio after the matchup,
00:51:01asked him if it was an accident race, then of course it was.
00:51:04Flying through his mask.
00:51:05Rey Mysterio going one-on-one with Doug Basham here tonight,
00:51:08much like he will Sunday at WrestleMania go one-on-one with Eddie Guerrero.
00:51:12First time in history, there you see the distraction by Danny.
00:51:15First time in WrestleMania history, Tag Team Champions will go one-on-one with one another.
00:51:20Well, I do admit that now Rey Mysterio does have a chance to redeem himself, make things right.
00:51:27Rey Mysterio's buddy, Baby Bash, hip-hop artist in the audience here tonight in Houston,
00:51:32as Rey Mysterio tries to battle back against Doug Basham.
00:51:36Come on, Rey!
00:51:37Love the hip-hop.
00:51:38Big hip-hop game, super saucy, as Rey Mysterio bounces off the top rope.
00:51:42I still cannot get, as Doug Basham into the cover, hooks the leg in a kick-out.
00:51:46Cannot get that image out of my mind.
00:51:48The image of the RKO to The Undertaker here tonight.
00:51:52I'm telling you, I had trouble spitting it out a while ago, but I'm so proud.
00:51:55I gotta admit, Raw's Randy Orton is gonna beat SmackDown's Undertaker at WrestleMania.
00:52:01If he hits the RKO, he's very well liked.
00:52:04You guys would love to have somebody like Mysterio on Raw, would you?
00:52:07I wouldn't want to be involved.
00:52:09He's gonna come out and kick me in the head, cause me to lose off a match.
00:52:11It was an accident.
00:52:13Rey tries to get out of this.
00:52:15Here at a sold out Reliant Arena in Houston, three days away from WrestleMania.
00:52:19Jerry the King Raw from Raw joining me here tonight.
00:52:23Head scissors by Rey Mysterio.
00:52:25Basham misses with a clothesline.
00:52:27We still tonight have the big weigh-in between Aki Bodo and the Big Show.
00:52:30We have Carlito going one-on-one with John Cena.
00:52:33My gosh, poor Carlito.
00:52:35And look at Rey Mysterio.
00:52:38Here's the cover, and a kick-out at two.
00:52:41By Doug Basham.
00:52:42So that John Cena, he's been chomping at the pit to get his hands on JBL.
00:52:46At this point, he just wants to get his hands on anybody.
00:52:49Rey Mysterio wants to get his hands on Doug Basham.
00:52:51Nice high elbow.
00:52:52And there's a kick to the jaw.
00:52:54Mysterio out to the apron of the ring.
00:52:57Tremendous balance.
00:52:58There's a scene at set time.
00:52:59Into the cover.
00:53:00He's got it.
00:53:00He's got it here.
00:53:02And a kick-out by Doug Basham at two.
00:53:04Hey, look at this now.
00:53:05Danny knocked off the apron, and Doug Basham took advantage.
00:53:08There's where the bastards are so dangerous.
00:53:11And Mysterio lands on his feet.
00:53:12Kick from behind.
00:53:15There may be a new area coming in Houston.
00:53:18Here it comes.
00:53:186-1-9 connecting.
00:53:22Eddie, Rey Mysterio in the apron.
00:53:27There he goes.
00:53:29Up to the top rope.
00:53:30Going on top here.
00:53:31And Eddie trying to run interference.
00:53:33Wait a minute.
00:53:36Wait, wait, wait.
00:53:37Here's the cover.
00:53:37Wait a minute.
00:53:38Hook of the leg, shoulders down.
00:53:40I believe when Eddie ran into the rope it caused Mysterio to lose his balance.
00:53:44Here's your winner.
00:53:45Wait a minute.
00:53:47Doug Basham.
00:53:48Don't go start rumors again.
00:53:49He didn't cause anything.
00:53:50I'd love to see a replay of this because I believe that.
00:53:54Okay, you wanna see a replay?
00:53:55Let's see it.
00:53:56I think Eddie was trying to help out Mysterio.
00:53:58No, Eddie's going after Danny Basham.
00:53:59See there?
00:54:00You're right.
00:54:01Okay, you're right, you're right.
00:54:02That was totally inadvertently.
00:54:05Eddie did look surprised.
00:54:07What was he looking surprised?
00:54:09That was a shock.
00:54:09Hey, come on, Holmes.
00:54:10You can leave me.
00:54:11That's right.
00:54:13You can leave me.
00:54:14You can leave me.
00:54:16Right.
00:54:18What are you doing, Eddie?
00:54:20What was I doing?
00:54:21I was protecting you on your back.
00:54:23Eddie.
00:54:23Eddie.
00:54:24Hey, look at that.
00:54:27Accidents happen, Holmes.
00:54:28You know that.
00:54:29You know accidents happen.
00:54:31It just happened a little early.
00:54:33It's just coincidental.
00:54:35I mean, we've had a bad night.
00:54:37You're right, you're right.
00:54:38Just put it all behind him.
00:54:40Accidents do happen.
00:54:43Accidents do happen.
00:54:44Look at this.
00:54:49It's okay.
00:54:52You see it, they're putting it all behind him.
00:54:55And he's fighting that accidents happen.
00:55:00And a bizarre night for the tag team champions.
00:55:03And it's gonna be interesting Sunday that these two good friends can go at it one on one.
00:55:08WrestleMania history being made, Mysterio and Eddie's first time tag team
00:55:13champions will go against each other at WrestleMania.
00:55:16But still to come tonight, but Carlito asked for, and he got it.
00:55:21Carlito's first match back in months as he goes one on one with the number one
00:55:25contender for the WWE title, John Cena.
00:55:39Sons of Scotland, I am Triple H.
00:55:45Now I've heard the stories.
00:55:48I'm seven feet tall, and I defeat superstars by the hundreds.
00:55:53And if they were here, I would consume them with fireballs from my eyes and lightning from my arse.
00:56:03But I am Triple H.
00:56:07I stand here before you in defiance of tyranny.
00:56:11I come to Hollywood to wrestle as a free man.
00:56:17And a free man am I.
00:56:20Would I be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance
00:56:30to shine on the grandest stage of them all and tell my enemies that they may try at WrestleMania,
00:56:39but they'll never take my title.
00:56:43Are you with me?
00:57:05WrestleMania goes Hollywood live this Sunday only on pay-per-view.
00:57:10Can you handle this ride, champ?
00:57:12Are you sure William Wallace rode a donkey?
00:57:14I'm positive.
00:57:15You've never looked finer, champ.
00:57:17We're going to WrestleMania.
00:57:18Nate, how far is this road to WrestleMania?
00:57:20It's not far.
00:57:21Just a little ways down the road here.
00:57:22Come on.
00:57:31I'm standing by with Kurt Angle, who in just three days at WrestleMania will face for the
00:57:36first time ever, Shawn Michaels.
00:57:40Kurt, my question for you is, has your strategy changed at all since failing to take out Shawn
00:57:45Michaels last Monday on Raw?
00:57:49Wait a minute.
00:57:50What'd you just say?
00:57:53Heading into WrestleMania, has your strategy changed for your match against Shawn Michaels?
00:57:59No, no, no.
00:58:00After that.
00:58:01What'd you say after that?
00:58:04Kurt, I don't think that last Monday went as successful as you would have liked.
00:58:10That's not what you said.
00:58:12You said I failed.
00:58:15Let me explain something to you, Josh.
00:58:17I'm an Olympic gold medalist, a multiple-time WWE champion, and the greatest wrestler in
00:58:24the history of this business.
00:58:26I don't even know the meaning of the word failure.
00:58:29You understand me?
00:58:31Yeah, Kurt, I totally-
00:58:33Well, Josh, if you really want to know what my strategy is, let me show you what my strategy
00:58:41is.
00:58:51What the hell goes on here in SmackDown?
00:58:56Kurt Angle is assaulting Josh Matthews.
00:58:59Obviously, is there somebody that can help you back there?
00:59:02Somebody better help him.
00:59:04You want to see what my strategy is?
00:59:06Let's go, let's go find out, Josh.
00:59:08You want to see?
00:59:09Let's go find out.
00:59:10Come on, Josh.
00:59:17Wait a minute, you know what?
00:59:18What has happened to Kurt Angle?
00:59:20I think he's bringing him out here.
00:59:25My God, Kurt Angle is bringing Josh Matthews out here to the Reliant Arena.
00:59:29What has gotten into Kurt Angle?
00:59:30He's not bringing him out, he just threw him out here.
00:59:33Kurt Angle has always been a great- Josh Matthews, thank you for his work.
00:59:36Get out of here, Josh.
00:59:37Get away, kid.
00:59:37Get the security, grab him, son.
00:59:40Somebody better grab Kurt Angle.
00:59:42This is a monkey.
00:59:44Because Josh Matthews is doing his job, something outside, Kurt Angle snapped.
01:00:01Does this happen very often here on SmackDown?
01:00:04It doesn't.
01:00:05Kurt Angle has completely lost it.
01:00:07He is so obsessed with Shawn Michaels and bettering Shawn Michaels.
01:00:10And somebody please stop this thing.
01:00:14Kurt Angle did show up and wrong.
01:00:16And an uppercut.
01:00:17Monday night, and I gotta agree with Josh.
01:00:22Things I'm sure didn't go exactly like Kurt Angle did.
01:00:25Yeah, but Josh Matthews does not deserve this.
01:00:27Kurt Angle with a right hand, that was just kick to the head.
01:00:32Honestly, Josh should have never called Kurt a failure.
01:00:34And just because- And a clothesline.
01:00:39And I believe Josh Matthews has been busted open, ladies and gentlemen.
01:00:44This heinous, this cruel, this uncalled for assault by a man who preaches integrity.
01:00:51This is integrity?
01:00:52You better go help him.
01:00:54Going anywhere near Kurt Angle, the mood that he's been in the past couple of weeks.
01:00:58First Marty Jannetty, sensational Sherry last week, and now this vicious assault.
01:01:05Not a journalist, Josh Matthews.
01:01:07I'm gonna apologize or something, Josh.
01:01:14What is this brutal assault prove?
01:01:18Why is this man doing this?
01:01:20This is a sexual assault.
01:01:31Come on.
01:01:32Come on, Sarge!
01:01:33Come on, Wayne STJ!
01:01:36Come on!
01:01:39Come on, hit me!
01:01:41Come on, come on, he's been taken all the way you've ever seen.
01:01:43You're such a bad thing.
01:01:44Just get up, get up.
01:01:46Hit me!
01:01:48Come on.
01:01:51Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:01:55Hey, what?
01:01:58Survivor.
01:01:59I'm sure he did that out of desperation, but
01:02:01that may be the stupidest thing Kai's ever done in his life.
01:02:05My, somebody's gotta come out here and help this kid.
01:02:07Kurt Angle's gonna knock this kid out cold.
01:02:10Not this, an angle slam, an angle slam.
01:02:14Yeah, this is so awesome.
01:02:27This man represented our country.
01:02:29This man teaches his integrity and now this, an angle lock.
01:02:34He's gonna break the kid's ankle.
01:02:36And he just screamed at the top of his lungs, Shawn Michaels, watch this.
01:02:40That's Shawn Michaels, Sensational Sherry wasn't Shawn Michaels,
01:02:43Marty Jannetty wasn't Shawn Michaels, and neither is Josh Matthews.
01:02:47He's gonna break Josh's leg.
01:02:48Look at that.
01:02:49Come on, somebody stop this.
01:02:53All because Kurt Angle has this perverted obsession with being better than Shawn Michaels.
01:02:59Well, three days he can prove it.
01:03:01He doesn't have to prove it out here tonight with his kid who's doing his damn job.
01:03:04Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:03:11Pitiful.
01:03:13Disgusting.
01:03:14I'm telling you, B-Boy.
01:03:17Shawn Michaels, I know you're watching at home.
01:03:24I want you to pay close attention.
01:03:30because this is what you can expect at wrestlemania

01:21:32Are we looking at the new, the next WWE Champion, we'll find out at WrestleMania.
01:21:42John Cena has so much picked up promotion, so much picked up energy and rage that he hasn't
01:21:49been able to physically touch JBL over the past few weeks.
01:21:53Do you believe he's gonna try to take it out on Carlito tonight?
01:21:55I'm sure he is.
01:21:57This freak snog has brought himself up from the gutter, but I think he's getting homesick.
01:22:02And JBL will send him right back there after WrestleMania.
01:22:05And look at Carlito using the referee as a shield.
01:22:07Remember, John Cena cannot physically touch JBL, if he does before WrestleMania Sunday,
01:22:12he will lose his title opportunity at WrestleMania.
01:22:16It's all right for John Cena to touch Carlito right now, isn't it?
01:22:19Of course, it's a sanction match.
01:22:21No.
01:22:22John Cena, Carlito looks like he wants nothing to do with it.
01:22:26And angry Cena tonight who backs Carlito into the corner.
01:22:29I'll tell you something, I gotta agree with what JBL said earlier about Teddy Long.
01:22:32Get him back.
01:22:33What's that?
01:22:34Get him back.
01:22:35Look at this.
01:22:36Get him back.
01:22:38Get him back.
01:22:39I've lost a lot of respect for the decisions that Teddy Long makes here on SmackDown Night.
01:22:43How can you say that?
01:22:44Teddy Long's the one who made the decision that doesn't allow Cena to touch.
01:22:47Teddy Long is prejudiced against Bradshaw.
01:22:49He's prejudiced against this kid in the ring right now.
01:22:51Yeah, but how can you say he's prejudiced against Bradshaw?
01:22:53He made the ruling that Cena can't touch Bradshaw until WrestleMania.
01:22:56How much more fair do you want to get?
01:22:58Because, like, did you not hear Bradshaw?
01:23:00Huh?
01:23:00Put your ears out.
01:23:01But then your head came in.
01:23:02Listen, Bradshaw said that Teddy Long did not want
01:23:06the champion from the get-go.
01:23:08Yeah, but John Cena wants Carlito.
01:23:11He caused that shoulder injury that got Carlito out of action for a number of months
01:23:15as John Cena's in pursuit.
01:23:16And here's Carlito, kick to the back.
01:23:18Stay on him, stay on him, kid.
01:23:20In the left hand, it hits up John Cena.
01:23:22Through the right hands to Carlito.
01:23:24He's bouncing off the turnbuckle.
01:23:25You're right.
01:23:25John Cena is focused.
01:23:27A lot of pinup frustration, a lot of aggression from John Cena.
01:23:31Needed a midsection clubbing blow to the back of the head.
01:23:33John Cena rounding into Ford as he hit.
01:23:36Look at him.
01:23:37Look at him.
01:23:37To the eyes.
01:23:38Desperate move from a crisper man.
01:23:40A very desperate.
01:23:41Hey, he has for this matchup since he's tired of doing Theo Long's
01:23:45medial tasks.
01:23:46He's trying to get back in action.
01:23:47This is what he gets.
01:23:48Shoveling snow, dressing up like Elvis.
01:23:52He deserved it.
01:23:53Tried to get Theodore Long fired from his job as GM.
01:23:56Not a bad idea.
01:23:58John Cena.
01:23:58And actually, did Teddy Long even check to see if Carlito's really been medically
01:24:01killed?
01:24:02Now he has.
01:24:04Carlito said he was clear.
01:24:07Carlito bounces off the turnbuckle.
01:24:08Hey.
01:24:09Let go of the hair.
01:24:11Let go of the hair.
01:24:11Let go of the hair.
01:24:11Look at the intensity of the eyes of John Cena.
01:24:16Downloading and comes to the ring with a shoulder tapper.
01:24:21I'm telling you, JBL can't be liking this.
01:24:24What's next, Cole?
01:24:25The FU thing that he does?
01:24:27I'd love to see it because Cena's pumping it out.
01:24:30There he is.
01:24:30There he is.
01:24:32There he is.
01:24:32Officers, that right there, that right there is the man who vandalized my limousine.
01:24:40They have a warrant for your arrest, John Cena.
01:24:44You may be a common street thug.
01:24:47They have a warrant for your arrest.
01:24:49You're going to jail.
01:24:51You're going to jail like he's never been there before.
01:24:56Handcuff him.
01:24:57I suggest you use a knife stick on him.
01:25:00He's a common piece of garbage.
01:25:04Face him if you have to arrest him, throw him below the jail.
01:25:09What the hell goes on here on SmackDown, Michael?
01:25:13What's the matter, Cena?
01:25:16All too familiar for you?
01:25:18You're going to jail, pal.
01:25:20You shouldn't have vandalized my car.
01:25:25I can't believe this.
01:25:27Get used to this.
01:25:29Get used to humiliation.
01:25:32I know you will post bail, but I know this.
01:25:37At WrestleMania, look at me, boy.
01:25:41Uh-oh.
01:25:42At WrestleMania, it will be a lot more humiliating when you are forced to worship at the feet of a
01:25:51wrestling god.
01:25:54What do you think about that, Johnny?
01:26:01WrestleMania, WrestleMania.
01:26:03Uh-oh.
01:26:07Hey, JBL touched him.
01:26:08JBL touched him.
01:26:10He's seen an attack on JBL.
01:26:11How he is it?
01:26:12Yes, he did.
01:26:12Arash him.
01:26:13Arash him.
01:26:15Hey.
01:26:16Nothing.
01:26:19I will fight you.
01:26:20Come on.
01:26:20We're going to jail.
01:26:22Boom.
01:26:23Oh, come on.
01:26:24A cheek shot.
01:26:26Self-defense.
01:26:27That was self-defense.
01:26:29That's right.
01:26:30Cena resisted arrest.
01:26:33Cena, let me tell you in a language you would understand.
01:26:43You can't see me.
01:26:49Get out of here.
01:26:50Get out of here.
01:26:51Get out of here.
01:26:51Get out of here.
01:26:53Get out of here.
01:26:53Get used to worshiping at my feet.
01:26:56I am indeed a wrestling god.
01:26:58See you in three days.
01:27:00Punk.
01:27:07Sunday at WrestleMania.
01:27:09Will JBL's historic reign continue?
01:27:13Or will the championship finally change hands?
01:27:17Is the time now for John Cena's Sunday?
01:27:21Or will that man JBL continue to be champion?
01:27:25Well, I wanna say this, that JBL is a smart man.
01:27:28And you know, Hollywood is all about spectacles.
01:27:30But they've never seen a spectacle like this Sunday's WrestleMania.
