00:03:15Yet again
00:03:16Another roll up by Jeff Hardy
00:03:17And Jeff Hardy looking for a quick victory here
00:03:19As Rob Van Dam reverses
00:03:21And a kick out by Hardy
00:03:22Well it's obvious
00:03:22Jeff Hardy wants that title back
00:03:23Real bad
00:03:24Now tonight
00:03:25The Rock and APA
00:03:27As you mentioned
00:03:28Huge six man tag team matchup

00:03:37Just four days removed
00:03:39From their great matchup
00:03:40At SummerSlam
00:03:41That's right The Rock
00:03:42The wannabe Booker T
00:03:43Ha, I can't wait to see Booker
00:03:45Take apart the most electrifying man
00:03:48A shot to the kidneys by Rob Van Dam
00:03:50Both the champion
00:03:51RBD and Jeff Hardy
00:03:52Extremely sore
00:03:53Following that
00:03:54Highly physical ladder match
00:03:56At SummerSlam
00:03:56That ladder match
00:03:57Was insane
00:03:58It was awesome stuff
00:03:59Oh
00:04:00Late
00:04:01Late race takedown
00:04:02By Jeff Hardy
00:04:03And Rob Van Dam
00:04:04Favoring that left knee
00:04:05Well
00:04:06It's obvious that Jeff Hardy
00:04:07Is trying to take out
00:04:08Rob Van Dam
00:04:09And he took him out right there
00:04:10You gotta look at the similarities
00:04:12Between these two guys Cole
00:04:13Tons of similarities
00:04:15Both these guys
00:04:15Ultimate risk takers
00:04:17Well, Jeff Hardy
00:04:18Hoping to bring the hardcore title
00:04:20Back to the World Wrestling Federation
00:04:22And check out the intensity
00:04:24Of Jeff Hardy
00:04:25What a leg-laced takedown
00:04:27Good way to tear apart
00:04:28A ligament and a knee
00:04:29But Van Dam
00:04:30Very flexible
00:04:31It takes more than that
00:04:32To hurt Rob
00:04:32Now, Jeff Hardy
00:04:33With a trash can
00:04:34A broom
00:04:35All the works tucked into the ring
00:04:36All legal
00:04:37In this hardcore title matchup
00:04:39No holds barred
00:04:40Balls count anywhere
00:04:41Anything goes, Taz
00:04:42No doubt
00:04:43And that's just the way
00:04:43The Alliance and RVD likes it
00:04:45Jeff Hardy
00:04:46Jeff Hardy in control
00:04:47Wants the hardcore title back
00:04:48He lost at Summerslam
00:04:50Now working on
00:04:51That injured left knee
00:04:52Of Rob Van Dam
00:04:53A bit tender
00:04:54Following that leg-laced takedown
00:04:55And right back to the knee
00:04:56Goes Jeff Hardy
00:04:57Well, it's obvious
00:04:58What Jeff Hardy's doing
00:04:59Good game plan
00:05:00Taking out the base
00:05:01Of Rob Van Dam
00:05:02Of RVD
00:05:03Blowing out that knee
00:05:04Good thinking by Jeff
00:05:05I don't think he can get it done
00:05:06Oh, and Jeff Hardy
00:05:07Busting that broom across the left knee
00:05:10That back of the leg
00:05:12Of Rob Van Dam
00:05:13And Van Dam quickly
00:05:14He's so quick
00:05:15Quick as a cat
00:05:15Another shot to the kidneys
00:05:17Of Jeff Hardy
00:05:17Well, Rob's quick
00:05:18And I gotta give credit
00:05:19Where credit's due
00:05:19So is Jeff Hardy
00:05:21Backbreaker again
00:05:22So as Hardy works on the left knee
00:05:24Rob Van Dam works on the lower back
00:05:26Of Jeff Hardy
00:05:27Well, I mean, Rob Van Dam
00:05:29A genius in that ring
00:05:31A professor in that ring
00:05:32And a key alliance member
00:05:34You gotta love RVD
00:05:35I love him
00:05:36Well, what a great start
00:05:37To this live night of SmackDown
00:05:39From the Pepsi Center
00:05:40In Denver, Colorado
00:05:41Enter the WWF versus the alliance
00:05:44In that six-man match
00:05:45As RVD continues to work on the
00:05:47On the back of Jeff Hardy
00:05:48Drilling that shoulder
00:05:49Into the kidneys area
00:05:51Now, Jeff, Jeff can't take
00:05:52Much more of this
00:05:53He's taking out the kidneys
00:05:54And a lower back
00:05:55Well, Rob Van Dam
00:05:56Noticably limping
00:05:57Come on, Rob Van Dam
00:05:58He's been injured as well
00:05:59As RVD brings in a steel chair
00:06:01Chairs are illegal in this matchup
00:06:02Working on the small back area
00:06:03Keep the offense on him
00:06:03Keep the offense on him, Rob
00:06:04That a boy
00:06:05And Jeff Hardy
00:06:06Sucking wind as well
00:06:07Rob Van Dam
00:06:08Whips Hardy across the ring
00:06:09Into the corner
00:06:10An RVD steel chair at hand
00:06:12And he uses that
00:06:13As a weapon
00:06:14I've been on the end of this
00:06:16I know this is a monkey flip
00:06:18Bam
00:06:18Right into the steel chair
00:06:20Into the kidneys again
00:06:22Of Jeff Hardy
00:06:23And RVD
00:06:24Like a master technician
00:06:26In this matchup
00:06:26Working on the small back area
00:06:28Of Jeff Hardy
00:06:29And now, comes the hardware
00:06:30The table's coming out for RVD
00:06:33It's all legal, baby
00:06:34It's all legal, Cole
00:06:36Hardcore style
00:06:37No holds barred
00:06:39False count anywhere
00:06:40The Hardcore Champion
00:06:41Rob Van Dam
00:06:42Jeff Hardy's hurting, Cole
00:06:43He can holler
00:06:43He can even stand up
00:06:44Well, Rob Van Dam
00:06:45Favoring the left knee as well
00:06:46Jeff Hardy trying to make it
00:06:47To his feet
00:06:48Another shot to the back
00:06:49By RVD
00:06:50Tremendous strategy
00:06:51By the Hardcore Champion
00:06:52By the Alliance
00:06:53Oh, Rob Van Dam
00:06:56Tenacious in that ring
00:06:57Once he feels you're weak
00:06:58Boom
00:06:58He just keeps on you
00:06:59And I can only imagine
00:07:01The pain both of these men
00:07:02Are in, Taz
00:07:02Following that grueling ladder match
00:07:05At SummerSlam this past Sunday
00:07:06What an event SummerSlam was
00:07:08What a shot by Rob Van Dam
00:07:10I mean, Cole, great point
00:07:11SummerSlam was less than a week ago
00:07:13And that was a sick match
00:07:14They had both these guys
00:07:15Gotta be feeling what's going on here
00:07:17Well, Rob Van Dam
00:07:18With a table set out
00:07:18Upside the ring
00:07:19Looking perhaps for a suplex
00:07:21Trying to suplex him over
00:07:22But Jeff Hardy counters
00:07:24And there is shot
00:07:25To RVD
00:07:26And Jeff Hardy looks to take control
00:07:27Be careful, Rob
00:07:28Be careful
00:07:29And Jeff Hardy
00:07:31Tremendous
00:07:31But Jeff Hardy
00:07:33Taking every bit of strength
00:07:35That Jeff Hardy had
00:07:36To get RVD over
00:07:37Kick out
00:07:38Kick out
00:07:39Kick out
00:07:40And RVD
00:07:41With a Hardcore title on the line
00:07:44Take a look at this
00:07:45That was close
00:07:46Tremendous
00:07:47Tremendous
00:07:47I don't know how Van Dam
00:07:49Kicked out
00:07:49But he did it
00:07:50A desperation move
00:07:51By Jeff Hardy
00:07:52Both mid and out
00:07:53Over the top rope
00:07:54Jeff Hardy
00:07:55Barely standing
00:07:57RVD
00:07:57Favoring the left knee
00:07:58Again
00:07:59Van Dam's left knee
00:08:00It's gotta be normal
00:08:01You get that kind of
00:08:02Worked in on your knee
00:08:03By somebody
00:08:04Wait a minute
00:08:05Jeff Hardy
00:08:06Bringing the ladder out
00:08:08Shades of Summerslam
00:08:09This past Sunday
00:08:10These people are sick
00:08:11They wanna see Van Dam
00:08:12Get busted up on the ladder
00:08:14Look out
00:08:14Van Dam
00:08:15Shucked into the apron
00:08:16And Jeff Hardy in control
00:08:18We've seen what Jeff Hardy
00:08:20Can do on the ladder
00:08:20We saw what RVD
00:08:22Can do on the ladder
00:08:22The first Sunday as well
00:08:23Both these guys will put
00:08:24Their bodies on the line
00:08:26To be victorious in a match
00:08:27And right now
00:08:28Van Dam looks better
00:08:30RVD struggling
00:08:31Right now
00:08:31I don't think he looks better
00:08:32Than Jeff Hardy
00:08:33Jeff Hardy still in his feet
00:08:34That's not what I said
00:08:35I said Harvey looks better
00:08:36I didn't hear what I said
00:08:37I don't know what he's doing
00:08:38But
00:08:38Shot by Jeff Hardy to RVD
00:08:40Get up Rob
00:08:42Jeff Hardy with his shots
00:08:44To the face
00:08:44Listen to the crowd
00:08:45Jeff Hardy is gonna climb that ladder
00:08:47That was 15 feet high
00:08:50Get up Rob
00:08:50Get up Rob
00:08:51He's gonna get ripped in half
00:08:53Jeff Hardy gingerly
00:08:55Making his way to the top of the ladder
00:08:57RVD laying pro
00:08:58No
00:08:59Table below
00:09:00No
00:09:00Stop him
00:09:02No
00:09:02Jeff Hardy
00:09:04And through a table
00:09:05RVD moving at the last possible moment
00:09:09Speechless
00:09:10Jeff Hardy crashing through the table
00:09:14RVD just rolling out of the way
00:09:17And take another look
00:09:18Feel the impact
00:09:20Look at that high goal
00:09:22The impact is sick
00:09:23The body and table imploded
00:09:25Jeff Hardy favoring the smaller back
00:09:28The small of his back as well
00:09:29He slapped
00:09:30Wait a minute
00:09:31Referee Jimmy Corderas
00:09:33I believe calling for help
00:09:34He's hurt as
00:09:35Cold, cold, Jeff's hurt
00:09:36I mean, you know
00:09:37Lions, WF, all that's good
00:09:39But
00:09:40He's hurt
00:09:40This doesn't look good
00:09:41And Rob Van Dam
00:09:42I don't think he can believe it either
00:09:43Nah
00:09:43You don't wanna see someone's career
00:09:45He's gonna get squashed out here
00:09:48Some officials
00:09:48And
00:09:49There's our trainer from the back
00:09:51Rob looks a little concerned
00:09:52I
00:09:55EMT's making their way down
00:09:56With that stretcher
00:09:56Jeff Hardy hitting that table
00:09:58And
00:09:58RVD looking concerned
00:10:00Trying to take the rubbage
00:10:01And the damage away
00:10:02So the EMTs can get to Jeff Hardy
00:10:05He landed hard, Cole
00:10:06I mean, from
00:10:07I don't know how high
00:10:0825 feet or so
00:10:09Whatever it was
00:10:10I mean, all
00:10:11Just his back
00:10:12I'll tell you, Taz
00:10:13I mean, you know
00:10:15You know, I mean
00:10:15This went wrong
00:10:16Obviously, I mean, you know
00:10:17You know
00:10:17I mean, you know
00:10:18This is crazy stuff
00:10:21This catches up to you
00:10:22I mean, thank God
00:10:23He's moving, though
00:10:24Tremendous ovation
00:10:25To this crowd
00:10:26For Jeff Hardy
00:10:27As he's being helped
00:10:28To his feet
00:10:28But I'll tell you
00:10:29He came off that ladder
00:10:30Some 15 feet in the air
00:10:32And that entire table
00:10:33Imploded
00:10:34As Jeff Hardy hit it
00:10:35And that was after
00:10:36Van Damme working
00:10:37On his lower back
00:10:37I mean, and
00:10:38You know
00:10:39This went wrong
00:10:41Obviously, I mean, you know
00:10:42We gotta give RBD some credit
00:10:43Helping to take that damage
00:10:45That damage table
00:10:46Ways to the air
00:10:47To get to Jeff Hardy
00:10:49And Jeff Hardy
00:10:50Leaving under his own power
00:10:51Wait a minute
00:10:52Raven
00:10:53Attacking RBD from behind
00:10:55What the hell is this all about?
00:10:56What's Raven
00:10:57What's Raven doing?
00:10:58He's gotta go free with him
00:10:59Raven rolling RBD into the ring
00:11:0224-7 rule is in effect, folks
00:11:04For the hardcore title
00:11:05But both of these guys
00:11:06Are members of the alliance
00:11:07What's Raven thinking?
00:11:09DDT out of the steel chair
00:11:11And Raven a member of the alliance
00:11:13What the hell happened
00:11:14To the alliance unity?
00:11:15There's gotta be an explanation
00:11:16For this call
00:11:19Maybe Austin's demand for perfection
00:11:21Has gotten lifted
00:11:21For Raven a little bit
00:11:23Well, the hardcore title
00:11:23On the line 24-7
00:11:25But we never expected this
00:11:26The Raven effect
00:11:27But Raven RBD
00:11:29Can we crowd a new champion?
00:11:31Hook of the leg
00:11:31It's no
00:11:32Rock Van Damme got his shoulder up
00:11:34What is going on here?
00:11:35What is Raven doing?
00:11:37Raven stopped
00:11:38Raven is hyper motivated
00:11:41Slamming RBD's head into the mat
00:11:42We don't need this
00:11:43We don't need this
00:11:43In the alliance, Cole
00:11:44This is like the WWF way
00:11:46To beat each other up
00:11:47We don't beat it
00:11:47I don't know what Raven's thinking
00:11:49Yeah, but the alliance
00:11:50Or not
00:11:50It's all within the rules
00:11:51The hardcore title is defended
00:11:5224 hours a day
00:11:53Seven days a week
00:11:54And Raven's trying to take advantage
00:11:56Well, I can see that, Cole
00:11:57But this isn't the way we operate
00:12:00Raven is taking it to RBD
00:12:02And a trash container
00:12:04Into the head of Raven
00:12:05And another shot
00:12:06Raven knocked into the center of the ring
00:12:07We're a family for God's sakes
00:12:09We're a unit
00:12:10RBD trying to set the cobwebs from his head
00:12:12Rob Van Damme top rope
00:12:14Five star baby
00:12:15Look at this
00:12:16The five star front splash
00:12:18From a Rob Van Damme
00:12:2024-7
00:12:21Into the cover
00:12:22One, two, three
00:12:23It's over
00:12:24RBD retains the hardcore title
00:12:27But at what course?
00:12:28Here is your winner
00:12:29And still hardcore champion
00:12:31Rob Van Damme
00:12:34Car Robin
00:12:36Wait a minute
00:12:37Hermit, do the music
00:12:42What is...
00:12:43What is going on here?
00:12:47I'm in the back
00:12:49I'm in the back
00:12:51getting fitted for my brand new hat
00:12:54And I see the members of my own team
00:12:58Fighting each other
00:13:06Raven, Rob, what the heck are you guys thinking?
00:13:13We're on the same team.
00:13:16We're one family.
00:13:18I did not spend my hard-earned money on the Alliance to see it fall apart.
00:13:27No, you two get up.
00:13:30Get up, you're not hurting that bad.
00:13:32Get up.
00:13:35Get up and shake hands like gentlemen.
00:13:40Stephanie's upset, and I hate to see Stephanie upset.
00:13:43I don't think it just happened.
00:13:45Well, the co-owner of the Alliance tried to be a peacemaker.
00:13:48Come on, Raven.
00:13:50Come on.
00:13:53The two of you shake hands.
00:13:55We're one team.
00:13:57One team.
00:13:59We're a family.
00:14:01Shake hands.
00:14:02Stephanie trying to reestablish unity here within the Alliance.
00:14:05Wait a minute.
00:14:07Raven doesn't wanna shake hands.
00:14:09No, no, no.
00:14:10Neither does RVD.
00:14:11What?
00:14:12Stephanie's got under control.
00:14:13Uh-oh.
00:14:13Uh-oh.
00:14:15Uh-oh.
00:14:16Uh-oh.
00:14:20The WWF champion, the Alliance leaderstone coach team Austin.
00:14:24And look at that look.
00:14:25Austin does not look pleased.
00:14:27Take it from me.
00:14:28Austin will straighten this out.
00:14:29I guarantee you.
00:14:30Well, he had his appreciation.
00:14:32Austin doesn't look happy.
00:14:34He had his appreciation night ruined by Kurt Angle on Raw.
00:14:37And tonight, he's faced with infighting within the Alliance.
00:14:44I wouldn't wanna be RBD and Raven about right now.
00:14:48Stone Cold hot.
00:14:50He's mad.
00:14:51And that ain't good for Van Damme or Raven.
00:14:54The leader of the Alliance, Stone Cold Steve Austin, is irate.
00:15:00What the heck?
00:15:01Get over here.
00:15:09What the hell do you think you guys are doing?
00:15:11Look at me.
00:15:13Huh?
00:15:15What do you think you're doing, RBD?
00:15:17What?
00:15:18He started?
00:15:19What?
00:15:22We're supposed to be a group.
00:15:24We're supposed to be together.
00:15:27Huh?
00:15:29Kurt Angle.
00:15:30Kurt Angle ruling Austin Appreciation Night.
00:15:33Last Monday.
00:15:35Well, you guys are making an embarrassment of the Alliance tonight.
00:15:38It makes me sick.
00:15:41You're not shut up.
00:15:43What?
00:15:45I said shut up.
00:15:47You think I'm gonna come out here and watch the Alliance crumble right in front of my eyes?
00:15:53Oh no, I'm not gonna do that.
00:15:55It will not crumble in front of my eyes.
00:15:57What?
00:16:00What?
00:16:01That's right.
00:16:02Kurt Angle can pull all the little-
00:16:05Get off my belt.
00:16:09Kurt Angle can do everything he wants, but he will not destroy the Alliance.
00:16:13Do I make myself clear?
00:16:16Do I make myself clear?
00:16:18What?
00:16:19Sir?
00:16:21What?
00:16:21I want both of you guys to get out of this ring, get out of my ring, and take your
00:16:28little
00:16:28butts to the back, and act like respectable Alliance members.
00:16:34What?
00:16:35What?
00:16:35I said get out of here.
00:16:39If I hear about you fighting in the back, I will come find you.
00:16:44What?
00:16:45Now get out of here.
00:16:58Get out of here.
00:17:00I don't think Austin was impressed.
00:17:01Yeah.
00:17:03Yeah.
00:17:04What?
00:17:07Get.
00:17:10Kurt Angle can try to embarrass the Alliance as much as he wants...
00:17:14but it don't mean a damn thing to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:17:21What?
00:17:23I said it don't mean a damn thing to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:17:26You will not make an example.
00:17:31You will not embarrass Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:17:35You will not embarrass the Alliance.
00:17:38As far as I'm concerned,
00:17:41it should be Austin Appreciation Day.
00:17:44365 days a year.
00:17:47What?
00:17:48Amen.
00:17:51Steve, the Alliance does appreciate you.
00:17:55I appreciate you.
00:17:57And truth be told,
00:17:59every single one of the fans in this arena
00:18:02appreciate you.
00:18:05Yes.
00:18:06What the hell is this?
00:18:10Y2J Chris Jericho?
00:18:12Y2J Chris Jericho?
00:18:13Y2J Chris Jericho?
00:18:17I don't know if this is the time
00:18:19nor the place
00:18:21for Chris Jericho to take a surprise visit.
00:18:24It's not the time or the place.
00:18:32Big Mouth group punk, that's what Jericho wins.
00:18:36Austin can't believe that Chris Jericho has interrupted the Alliance love fest in the ring.
00:18:43Oh, look on Austin's face.
00:18:48The Rattlesnake is in the mood to deal with this tonight.
00:18:51Don't want to disrespect the Rattlesnake, plain and simple.
00:18:56What an ovation for the Rattlesnake, plain and simple.
00:19:05I would appreciate it if you would please shut the hell up.
00:19:12It's not right.
00:19:14Don't laugh, Cole.
00:19:15It ain't funny neither.
00:19:16Man, my throat got a little bit parched, just a little bit dry.
00:19:20Austin, you got any beverages?
00:19:21You got anything to drink?
00:19:22What do you say, Steve?
00:19:24Got milk?
00:19:26Oh, got milk?
00:19:28Don't go there, Jericho.
00:19:29Take the damn shirt off.
00:19:30You damn right it's your bad.
00:19:31Take the stupid shirt off.
00:19:34I won it.
00:19:36I won it.
00:19:37I won it.
00:20:16What's up with the long face, Junior?
00:20:17Don't you know you never cry over spilt milk?
00:20:23But you know, I had an ulterior motive for coming out here tonight, Austin.
00:20:27And apparently, Canyon has challenged Kurt Angle to a non-title match.
00:20:33So that means that you're free tonight.
00:20:37He is free.
00:20:41So what do you say that, oh, I don't know, you have a match with Y2J
00:20:53for the World Wrestling Federation Championship right here tonight on SmackDown.
00:21:00Austin, Cole, what do you say?
00:21:02Title match tonight, that's a great idea.
00:21:04That's a lousy idea, Cole.
00:21:07You know, you come out here with that stupid little haircut.
00:21:14You run down, Stephanie.
00:21:17You talk about my wife's cooking.
00:21:21You come out here and you sing the praises of Kurt Angle
00:21:26for ruining Austin Appreciation Night.
00:21:32The fans want a title match, so why 2J, Chad?
00:21:36Doesn't matter what the fans want.
00:21:40What?
00:21:44What?
00:21:46What?
00:21:50What?
00:21:51What?
00:21:54What?
00:21:56You think you're so special that you come out here
00:22:00and you deserve a title shot with Stone Cold Steve Austin?
00:22:07What?
00:22:08What?
00:22:11Okay.
00:22:15You're asking for a title shot?
00:22:18Stone Cold Steve Austin
00:22:20will put the title on the line.
00:22:24All right.
00:22:30Just not tonight.
00:22:31What?
00:22:32Oh, come on.
00:22:33Give me a break.
00:22:35He makes the call.
00:22:36He makes the call, man.
00:22:36Yeah, you didn't hear me.
00:22:38No title shot.
00:22:41You want a match?
00:22:43You little long-haired piece of trash.
00:22:45You got it.
00:22:46But you don't deserve a title match, but you don't deserve a title match.
00:22:51And that's the bottom line.
00:22:53What?
00:22:53What?
00:23:04WWE fans not happy with the decision by Austin.
00:23:07Who cares?
00:23:12And they, the fans are all over Stone Cold.
00:23:15Yeah, a show of disrespect for the WWF champion, a great leader.
00:23:20He was a great champion, put the title on the line tonight.
00:23:23Well, what?
00:23:24Why?
00:23:24Why should he put the title on the line?
00:23:25So you're saying you will have a match with Y2J tonight,
00:23:31but just not for the WWF championship?
00:23:38No.
00:23:38No.
00:23:40No.
00:23:54All right.
00:23:56Well, after tonight, after I do beat your ass in that ring,
00:24:05that's going to make me the number one contender for the WWF championship.
00:24:10And remember this, Austin.
00:24:12When all of these Jerrica-holics
00:24:20Are cheering and screaming.
00:24:24Remember, they're not booing you.
00:24:27No.
00:24:29After they've found out about your newfound love for milk,
00:24:33they're going to be chanting,
00:24:35Moo!
00:24:40Can Chris Jericho become the number one contender for the WWF title tonight?
00:24:46It could be a huge night for Y2J.
00:24:50Live in Denver, it's Austin versus Jericho tonight.
00:25:03Well, the Dudley boys and one of the Alliance members who built the Big Show's wrath on Raw Monday night,
00:25:08they get to go face-to-face with the Big Show again here tonight.
00:25:12The following tag team comes as the single for a wonderful,
00:25:16approaching the ring, representing the Alliance,
00:25:18at a combined weight of 565 pounds,
00:25:22Bubba Ray and Devon,
00:25:24the Dudley boys.
00:25:25The Dudley boys' Alliance buddy Lance Dorm going to be on Fight This tomorrow,
00:25:29WWF.com tomorrow afternoon.
00:25:33That should be an interesting conversation.
00:25:39And at a combined weight of 769 pounds,
00:25:44the one Billy Gunn and the Big Show!
00:25:48The Billy Gunn and the Big Show coming together as a team,
00:25:51Taz,
00:25:51and I don't think I've ever seen Big Show more impressive
00:25:53than he rolls on Raw on his cast Monday night.
00:25:56All the Gap,
00:25:56Billy Gunn into the ring,
00:25:57Dudley boys wasting little time getting this WWF versus Alliance tag team matchup started.
00:26:02The Big Show's 500 pounds,
00:26:04I mean,
00:26:04I guess that's impressive when you're like only cow powers or something.
00:26:08Now,
00:26:08Devon Dudley will start things off against the one Billy Gunn.
00:26:11We can tell you,
00:26:11Jeff Hardy undergoing evaluation by medical personnel as we speak in the locker room area.
00:26:16Jeff taking that high-risk maneuver,
00:26:19that fall off the top of the ladder moments ago.
00:26:22Oh,
00:26:22look out from behind.
00:26:23Bubba Ray Dudley and Devon with a big clothesline.
00:26:26Did we see a split dream perhaps within the Alliance between Rob Van Dam and Raven?
00:26:31No,
00:26:31let me cut you off right there.
00:26:32No,
00:26:32no split them at all.
00:26:34The pressure got the way a little bit of the profession that Stone Cold Steve Austin demands.
00:26:38That's all that was.
00:26:40Speaking of Stone Cold Steve Austin as Devon went to work on the leg of Billy Gunn into the tag
00:26:44of Bubba Ray Dudley.
00:26:45Speaking of Stone Cold,
00:26:47he's got himself a matchup against Y2J live on SmackDown.
00:26:51Will Y2J become the number one contender for the WWE Championship?
00:26:55Why would Austin put the WWE title on the line?
00:26:58That's my question.
00:26:59The Stone Cold Steve Austin picks his spots,
00:27:02does what he wants,
00:27:03what he wants,
00:27:03what he wants,
00:27:04and who he wants to do it with.
00:27:10I can't wait to see Booker T and that six man get his hands on The Rock.
00:27:17Well,
00:27:17it's The Rock and APA versus Booker T,
00:27:19Rhino and Tess from the Alliance.
00:27:21Six man tag team matchup.
00:27:22Kurt Angle's in action against Canyon,
00:27:24the U.S. Champion in a little bit.
00:27:26And of course,
00:27:27Edge,
00:27:27the new Intercontinental Champion defending the title.
00:27:29Here's the cover by Devon,
00:27:31and a kick out by the one Billy Gunn,
00:27:33Edge,
00:27:33winning the Intercontinental title Sunday at SummerSlam.
00:27:36Who's been to Canyon?
00:27:38I can't wait to see Canyon at Kurt Angle.
00:27:40Can't wait to see Canyon.
00:27:41All these Alliance guys want a piece of Angle.
00:27:44I'm just so glad that Canyon would take him out.
00:27:46The boys went for the double team.
00:27:47The one Billy Gunn with a great neckbreaker following the DDT,
00:27:50and now he needs to make a tag to his partner,
00:27:53the 7'2", 500-pound Big Show.
00:27:55Well,
00:27:56I hope he don't make a tag,
00:27:57because Big Show looks like he wants to cast a line of head off.
00:28:00Big Show.
00:28:00The DDT needs to cut the ring off
00:28:02and get their hands back on Gunn
00:28:03and keep it in the Dudley's corner.
00:28:05Big Show can't wait to get into the ring.
00:28:07Billy Gunn needs to make a tag,
00:28:08and he does,
00:28:09and here comes Big Show.
00:28:10Into the ring.
00:28:11Big Show's line to Bubba Ray Dudley.
00:28:13One to D-Von as well.
00:28:14We are live on SmackDown from Denver, Colorado,
00:28:18and the Big Show is parried.
00:28:21Come on, Bubba.
00:28:22Oh, no.
00:28:23The agility of the 7'2", 500-pounder.
00:28:27Big Show.
00:28:29Where's he going?
00:28:30She's a brand new alliance,
00:28:31but he's not in alliance right now.
00:28:32Big Show's 500 pounds.
00:28:35King Kong.
00:28:35He's going to the top rope.
00:28:36He looks like King Kong.
00:28:37A high-risk maneuver for the big man.
00:28:40Bubba Ray Dudley's in trouble.
00:28:41Right through the elbow,
00:28:42and Bubba Ray rolls out of the way.
00:28:44He broke the ring.
00:28:45He broke the ring.
00:28:47And Billy Gunn tossed over the top rope.
00:28:48That was a high-risk maneuver for the Big Show,
00:28:51and he paid for it.
00:28:52And here's D-Von.
00:28:53Big Kong and bam!
00:28:55Referee busy with Billy Gunn
00:28:56and the double team by the Dudley boys.
00:28:59You know what, Billy Gunn?
00:29:00Here's the reversal by D-Von.
00:29:02Look at the Dudley push-up, Jack!
00:29:04Center of the ring.
00:29:04Billy Gunn face first.
00:29:06Great teamwork by a great team.
00:29:08And now the double team on the Big Show
00:29:09by Bubba Ray and D-Von.
00:29:11Going in the 3D!
00:29:12But D-Von couldn't get the big man up.
00:29:14Big Show blocked it.
00:29:15What happened?
00:29:16Then it finished 500 pounds.
00:29:18Bam is her to Bubba Ray Dudley.
00:29:21Oh no.
00:29:22D-Von!
00:29:23No!
00:29:25Too slow by the Big Show with authority.
00:29:28Big Show and Billy Gunn playing the Dudley boys.
00:29:32Here it is the Big Show.
00:29:34Here are your winners.
00:29:36The one, Billy Gunn and the Big Show.
00:29:39Big win for the WWF here tonight on SmackDown.
00:29:43And a bit later on to Chris Jericho do the same
00:29:46when he takes on a stunt called Steve Austin.
00:29:49Chris Jericho, he's got a shot against Austin.
00:29:52Still the jump tonight.
00:29:54WWF's leader to go one-on-one with the Alliance's Ivory
00:29:58here tonight live on SmackDown.
00:30:00SmackDown.
00:30:01You never know, you never see it coming back down.
00:30:07Excuse the Rock, have you seen the APA?
00:30:10They're down the hall.
00:30:12They're down the hall?
00:30:13Yeah.
00:30:13Well, I appreciate it.
00:30:16You new?
00:30:17Yeah.
00:30:18The Rock?
00:30:19My name's-
00:30:24Rock looking for his WWF teammates.
00:30:26He's in action tonight.
00:30:28How much money did you put in there?
00:30:29Put in the $100, man.
00:30:30The street for $100?
00:30:31I know.
00:30:32Look, I know how much I put in.
00:30:34The street for $100?
00:30:35You hear something?
00:30:36I didn't hear a thing.
00:30:37You know, you could have knocked on our door.
00:30:38You walked right through our wall.
00:30:40What wall?
00:30:40The door right there, man.
00:30:41That wall.
00:30:42That's our door.
00:30:42That's our office.
00:30:43How about a knock?
00:30:44It's your office.
00:30:44Yeah, like that.
00:30:45You weren't raising a barn.
00:30:46Get the door.
00:30:47Watch the Rock.
00:30:51What's up, man?
00:30:53Great job at SummerSlam.
00:30:54The Rock is back.
00:30:55I'm proud of you, brother.
00:30:56The WCW talent is finally where it needs to be.
00:30:58The question is exactly where it's going to stay.
00:30:59Let me see it, man.
00:31:00Hey, how about a beer, bro?
00:31:01You play cards?
00:31:02Yeah, Rock.
00:31:02You got plenty of money.
00:31:04Great money.
00:31:04Your credit's good with us.
00:31:05Don't worry about it, brother.
00:31:06Listen, the fact remains this is going to be The Rock and APA taking on Booker T, Rhino.
00:31:11Once again, man, I got to tell you, we're proud of you, brother.
00:31:14Congratulations.
00:31:15Electrifying The Rock is back.
00:31:16No question.
00:31:16The Rock is back.
00:31:17The People's Champ is back.
00:31:18Now, The Rock realized that you guys are used to beating people up for money.
00:31:20But tonight, live on The Rock Show, live on SmackDown, it's gonna be The Rock and APA laying
00:31:25a SmackDown under Kenny Yassas.
00:31:28Let's do this.
00:31:29Get it, Rock.
00:31:30Are you in?
00:31:30No question.
00:31:31The Rock is in.
00:31:32Unlimited credit.
00:31:33Unlimited credit.
00:31:33Unlimited credit.
00:31:34Unlimited credit.
00:31:34Through the roof.
00:31:36Yep.
00:31:36Four races.
00:31:37What the?
00:31:38If you smell what The Rock is cooking.
00:31:42The Rock appreciates that.
00:31:43Let The Rock cook this beer right here.
00:31:45That's you.
00:31:46Let your money.
00:31:46The Rock will see you later on tonight.
00:31:48Play in the SmackDown?!
00:31:50Damnit!
00:31:50How'd he do that?
00:31:51How'd he do that?
00:31:52You cheated, man.
00:31:53Yeah?
00:31:55Yeah, I know Grandma Edna, but tonight is my first intercontinental title defense.
00:32:00Oh, yeah.
00:32:00It's gonna totally reek of awesomeness, but that's a good thing.
00:32:03Dude, dude, you're talking to Grandma Edna?
00:32:06Yeah.
00:32:06Let me talk to her, come on.
00:32:07Okay, Christian wants to talk to you, okay?
00:32:09Hold on.
00:32:10Grandma, hey, it's your favorite grandson.
00:32:12Hello?
00:32:14Hello?
00:32:15Stupid thin air.
00:32:17Anyways, listen, I just came from the commissioner's office,
00:32:20and I got a way to ensure you're going to leave Denver
00:32:22with your Intercontinental Championship.
00:32:24Cool, what'd you do?
00:32:25You got your match canceled.
00:32:28What'd you do that for?
00:32:29I was looking forward to defending it.
00:32:31Dude, you're going to look forward to this, too.
00:32:32I got us a shot at the WWF Tag Team Championships.
00:32:36We got a chance to become eight-timers,
00:32:38eight-time tag team champions,
00:32:39the octopuses of the WWF.
00:32:41Eight times, eight times, eight times.
00:32:43Hold on, hold on.
00:32:44Doesn't that mean we have to face Undertaker and Kane?
00:32:47Dude, we've beaten them before.
00:32:50Haven't we?
00:32:51We must have.
00:32:52We've beaten everybody.
00:32:52Listen, it's going to be great,
00:32:54and I'll see you later.
00:32:56See you, buddy.
00:33:02Can you guys believe this?
00:33:04I mean, this is great.
00:33:05Stone Cold Steve Austin, our leader.
00:33:07Pick me.
00:33:08Canyon, to get back at Kurt Angle for ruining our tribute on Monday night.
00:33:12Yeah, yeah.
00:33:12I mean, what an honor, huh?
00:33:14I mean, who are you here?
00:33:15Oh, yeah.
00:33:15Bro, listen, you got this one in the bag.
00:33:17I know.
00:33:17Olympic gold.
00:33:18Who cares about Olympic gold?
00:33:20You got the U.S. title.
00:33:22Besides, only amateurs compete in the Olympics.
00:33:25That's true.
00:33:26That's right.
00:33:27Hey, I got a question for you guys.
00:33:29Who better than Angle?
00:33:32Canyon?
00:33:33Yeah.
00:33:34Who better than Angle?
00:33:36Canyon.
00:33:37Who better than Angle, man?
00:33:39Canyon!
00:33:39That's right, man.
00:33:40Come on, go get him.
00:33:41Go get him, Chris.
00:33:46We are live in Denver, Colorado.
00:33:49And here comes Kurt Angle, who humiliated Stump Cold Steve Austin.
00:33:53This past Monday night, I'm wrong, but who can blame him?
00:33:56Angle was screwed royally out of the WNWF title at SummerSlam.
00:34:04Following non-title contest, he's Angle for one fall.
00:34:07Proaching around from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
00:34:10Weighing in at 237 pounds, Kurt Angle.
00:34:15Angle got busted after a good call.
00:34:17Busted up at SummerSlam.
00:34:18If he's spun, he'll stay away from the Stump Cold.
00:34:23Yeah, but he won the match, and he kicked out of three stutters in the process.
00:34:27He's got the title.
00:34:28Clearasil, acne defense cleanser, presents Unforgiven, live September 23rd from the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
00:34:35Clearasil, clearly looking better.
00:34:38And Pittsburgh, of course, the hometown of the man, I believe, should be WWE Champion, Kurt Angle.
00:34:44I hope everybody's real proud of Kurt Angle.
00:34:47Kurt Angle did best for the Unforgiven, everybody's real proud of him.
00:34:50And representing the Alliance, weighing in at 245 pounds, with the WCW U.S. Champion, Chris Kenyon.
00:34:59And Kurt Angle exemplified complete disrespect to immaturity when he, whoo, lost an appreciation night.
00:35:07Yeah, real American hero.
00:35:09Well, the U.S. Champion, Kenyon, has been handpicked by Stone Cold Steve Austin to get back at Kurt Angle
00:35:14here tonight for that melt truck incident.
00:35:16But the question is, is Kenyon out here to beat Kurt Angle or basically to destroy Kurt Angle?
00:35:22A little bit of both, my man.
00:35:24And I'd like to point out, I think Kurt Angle looks real good with those bandages on his head.
00:35:28Yeah, the bandages on his head after he was busted open by Stone Cold into the ring post at SummerSlam.
00:35:32My question to you is this, was this supposed to be a big matchup for Kenyon?
00:35:36Why didn't Kenyon put the U.S. title on the line against Kurt Angle here tonight?
00:35:39Because Angle doesn't deserve it.
00:35:40That's why.
00:35:41Kenyon backing Kurt Angle into the corner.
00:35:43Kurt Angle will be in Wichita tonight.
00:35:44Des Moines Saturday and Fort Wayne Sunday, WWF Live as Kenyon delivers the right hand and another one to Kurt
00:35:52Angle.
00:35:52Nobody called it, nobody better than Kenyon.
00:35:54And there you see Stone Cold Steve Austin looking on, and what do you think is going through the Rattlesticks
00:35:59line?
00:36:00Perhaps he believes he can't beat Kurt Angle.
00:36:03I don't think, I agree with JR and many of the WWF fans, I don't think Stone Cold can beat
00:36:08Kurt Angle.
00:36:08One, two, three, in the middle of the ring.
00:36:10Front cross body, lateral cross kick out.
00:36:12Of course you believe with JR and all these fans because you're a robot, just like everybody is in this
00:36:18building.
00:36:18Robot, robot, robot.
00:36:19No, I'm not a robot, Taz.
00:36:20What I am is a believer in Kurt Angle.
00:36:22This man is courageous.
00:36:23He left it in the ring at SummerSlam.
00:36:25He kicked out of not one, not two, but three Stone Cold stunners.
00:36:29He was never pinned in the ring.
00:36:30He was disqualified by a stupid call by a Lions official, Nick Patrick.
00:36:35Relax and calm down to be a gentleman for God's sakes.
00:36:37Who has the title?
00:36:37Wait a minute, cover by Kenyon in a kick out of the ring.
00:36:39Who has the title, Cole?
00:36:40Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:36:41You're damn skippy.
00:36:42So that's all that matters, enough.
00:36:44You're almost, I'm choking him.
00:36:46You get me hot now.
00:36:47There's the champion right there.
00:36:48Well, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:36:51Well, he's in a matchup.
00:36:53Look at the take down by Kenyon.
00:36:55Here's the cover.
00:36:56He may have him in a kick out.
00:36:57Stone Cold, Chris Jericho here tonight, live on SmackDown, one-on-one.
00:37:01I tell you, three more main events here tonight.
00:37:03Austin Jericho, what about Rock APA versus Booker T, Rhyno, and Tester?
00:37:08We just found out the WWE tag titles are on the line.
00:37:11Edge and Christian versus The Undertaker and Kane.
00:37:14Edge did the two pleas, and Christian got him in that tag title matchup.
00:37:17Well, Edge didn't look for a piece of all, but come on, Kenyon.
00:37:20Let's pump this up and take this red, white, blue goof out.
00:37:23Kurt Angle, big knockdown of Kenyon, quickly back to his feet.
00:37:26And the Olympic hero, Kurt Angle.
00:37:28No, no, a German, no!
00:37:29Nice German suit strikes by Kurt Angle to Kenyon.
00:37:31Stone Cold felt a number of these at SummerSlam Sunday.
00:37:34Kenyon again, his head bouncing off the mat.
00:37:37Once Angle gets those hands clasped, it's so hard to break that grip.
00:37:40But Kenyon did it.
00:37:42Well, look out.
00:37:43Angle, belly to belly to Kenyon.
00:37:45Kenyon taking a tremendous amount of punishment,
00:37:47and Kurt Angle feeling it.
00:37:48The adrenaline beginning to pump here in Denver tonight.
00:37:51No, no, no!
00:37:52Went for the Angle Slam, perhaps, and Kenyon.
00:37:54Great counter, great counter.
00:37:55Here it is!
00:37:56I'm better than you, let's go for it!
00:37:58What?
00:37:59He's not, I'm such cold, I'm better than you!
00:38:00Well, nonetheless, it was devastating.
00:38:02Here's the hook of the leg.
00:38:02He may have Angle!
00:38:04Oh!
00:38:04And Angle just got the shoulder up.
00:38:06Two!
00:38:06Just like SummerSlam, Kurt Angle will not quit here tonight.
00:38:10Hey, I'll be the first to say,
00:38:12no, Kurt Angle ain't got no quit in his body, no doubt.
00:38:14He's gonna have a belt in his face!
00:38:16Oh, Kenyon had the U.S. title in his hand.
00:38:18Kurt Angle with the great trap toehold,
00:38:20and Kenyon in trouble.
00:38:21And Kurt Angle now, U.S. title in his hand!
00:38:24Cheating!
00:38:25Perfect!
00:38:25And Kenyon brought it into the ring!
00:38:28Oh, nice!
00:38:28The Russian leg sweep quickly into the cover.
00:38:30We got it!
00:38:31We got it!
00:38:31Huge upset!
00:38:32And Angle kicks out.
00:38:35Remember, Kenyon was handpicked by Stone Cold Steve Austin
00:38:38to get back at Kurt Angle tonight.
00:38:40Well, because Ken's a U.S. champ!
00:38:42Of course!
00:38:42Then why isn't the U.S. championship on the line?
00:38:45We don't deserve it!
00:38:46Angle won't deserve a shot!
00:38:47Great counter by Kurt Angle!
00:38:49An elbow to the side of the head!
00:38:50No, no, no!
00:38:52For the Angle Slam!
00:38:53Angle Slam!
00:38:57Oh, man!
00:38:58I hate that move!
00:38:59Oh, no!
00:39:01Listen to the crowd coming up!
00:39:03The Angle lock is locked in!
00:39:05Don't tell Ken!
00:39:06You tap!
00:39:06Don't tell Ben!
00:39:07Who better?
00:39:08Who better than Kurt Angle?
00:39:14What the hell?
00:39:15For God's sake!
00:39:17Kurt Angle!
00:39:18Kenyon had to tap!
00:39:20He had no other thing to do!
00:39:21Kurt Angle could have broken Kenyon's ankle!
00:39:24That Angle lock should be bought!
00:39:25He's gonna dribble someone!
00:39:27It's an illegal maneuver!
00:39:28Kurt Angle wins one for the WWF!
00:39:31Angle is focused and intense!
00:39:33Sending a major message!
00:39:35Making a major statement!
00:39:36And look at the intensity in the eyes of Kurt Angle and the pain of Kenyon's face!
00:39:42It's going to be able to escape that hole over the head of Gallaudetville!
00:39:45The feet will be bigger!
00:39:46Angle sending a message to Stone Cold Steve Austin!
00:39:51What a win for Angle tonight!
00:39:54And coming up next, it's the WWF versus the Alliance!
00:39:57It's a six-man tag team match-up!
00:40:00The Rock and the APA versus Booker T, Rhyno and Tess, next!
00:40:11It's the six-man tag team match-up!
00:40:11Following is a six-man tag team match-
00:40:14They're going for a wonderful-
00:40:15Making it quite a long percent of the Alliance.
00:40:18Weighing it at 275 pounds, Rhyno!
00:40:22Man beast in the house, Cole!
00:40:24Back live on SmackDown here in Denver, Colorado, another big battle.
00:40:28In the WWF versus Alliance, it is a six-man tag team match-up.
00:40:33Rhydo leading his Alliance teammates into the ring.
00:40:36We're presenting the Alliance, 20-minute, 282 pounds.
00:40:41Tess!
00:40:41Well, here's the turncoat who cost the APA their WWF Tag Team
00:40:46title just a couple of weeks ago.
00:40:48Turncoat, he got beat up by the WWF for nothing.
00:40:52From a turncoat, at least you're not going to beat up
00:40:53by the Alliance, they deserve it.
00:40:55This guy didn't do nothing, and he belongs with us.
00:40:57I see you're wearing your Stonecoat t-shirt out here tonight.
00:40:59What happened with the Taz colors?
00:41:00I guess Stonecoat put you in your place on Raw.
00:41:02Oh, it's called support.
00:41:03I'm a team player.
00:41:04It's called sucking up, it might look.
00:41:06It ain't called sucking up, Bo.
00:41:08It ain't called up, I'm a team player.
00:41:09Can you dig it, sucker?
00:41:09I expect my leader.
00:41:11Can you dig it, sucker?
00:41:19He is the former WCW champion.
00:41:23Can you dig it, sucker?
00:41:25Go!
00:41:26Go!
00:41:28Go!
00:41:28Go!
00:41:33Representing the Alliance, playing in 251 pounds, Booker T.
00:41:39Well, Booker T has been in a miserable mood ever since losing the WCW title to the Rockets SummerSlam.
00:41:46On Raw this past Monday night, Booker T used Tajiri as his sounding board.
00:41:51It was an attack so vicious that even Alliance referee Charles Robinson was forced to disqualify Booker T.
00:41:58I'll tell you what, I hate the dream you called, but it was vicious.
00:42:01Booker T went a little too far, no doubt.
00:42:03I'm not saying I didn't like it, but Booker went a little too far.
00:42:06No sportsmanship, total disregard for the rules.
00:42:10Booker T, bottom line, a sore loser.
00:42:12Jealous to the Rock, trying to use Tajiri to send a message to the Rock.
00:42:17Hey, Booker lose much, he ain't used to it.
00:42:21Taking their way to the line at a combined weight up on 70 pounds,
00:42:27Bradshaw Andrews, the A-T-A!
00:42:30All right, SummerSlam, the APU is in a six-man tag team matchup versus the Alliance.
00:42:34Bradshaw had the match run before Shane McMahon,
00:42:37Marla Bradshaw with a steel chair.
00:42:39Well, later on in the Rock versus Booker T match,
00:42:41Shane was interfering on behalf of Booker T.
00:42:44All Shane was doing was protecting his investment in Booker.
00:42:47And then, uh...
00:42:48Righty-how, Bradshaw would exact his revenge.
00:42:50A close line from Hell to Shane McMahon.
00:42:52It impacts so brutal, we haven't seen Shane McMahon since SummerSlam,
00:42:56and Shane is not here tonight.
00:42:58He's not here tonight, man.
00:42:59Get well, Shane, we're thinking about you, buddy.
00:43:01This man, the Rock, is good.
00:43:07And now, for Miami Florida, Miami Florida Southlands,
00:43:12is the WCW champion of the Rock.
00:43:17The new WCW champion, The Rock, defeating Booker T in SummerSlam.
00:43:23And this building hasn't heard an ovation like this since the Avalanche winning Stanley Cup finals in the NHL.
00:43:31What an ovation for The Rock.
00:43:33Of course, everybody calls The Rock.
00:43:37Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock.
00:43:39Well, there's a new man in town, and his name is Booker T.
00:43:43Are The Rocks so proud of being a champion?
00:43:45And wait a minute, Booker T and Rhyno ambushing the APA from behind.
00:43:49And here we go, WWF versus The Alliance here tonight live.
00:43:54Well, I'll tell you what, WWF with The Rock and the APA,
00:43:58that's some major league impact dudes.
00:44:00Well, we got Rhyno, Big Test, and the Booker Man.
00:44:03Slam by Theroux, Cook at the leg, quick cover in this matchup,
00:44:06kick out by Rhyno after a count of two.
00:44:09Here's Rhyno, reverse line, big clothesline knockdown by The Man Beast in his sixth
00:44:14fantastic matchup.
00:44:15We're gonna get it early, we're gonna get it early.
00:44:16Rhyno setting Farouk up for the guard, and what a football tackle.
00:44:20And here's the cover and a kick out, college football starting this weekend.
00:44:23I think Farouk, he had a flashback.
00:44:26I think he was, thought he was back in Florida State for a moment.
00:44:28Yeah, I think he thought Rhyno was a gator for a minute there.
00:44:31And now Bradshaw into the ring, big knockdown, Rhyno is well.
00:44:33And the WWF team is cooking on all cylinders.
00:44:36And what has been an unbelievable night already on SmackDown,
00:44:39Jeff Hardy still being evaluated.
00:44:41After coming off that ladder, 15 feet, crashing through a table,
00:44:44we think he's gonna be okay.
00:44:46Here's the cover by Bradshaw.
00:44:48Kick out, kick out, come on.
00:44:48And Rhyno kicked out.
00:44:50We also learn now, Taz, that Edge and Christian are the number taker in Kane
00:44:53with the WWF Tag Team Titles on the ring.
00:44:55And Austin meets Y2J, here tonight, live.
00:44:59Can't wait to see Stone Cold, shut up.
00:45:02Jericho for once.
00:45:03Rhyno being knocked down of Bradshaw into the corner.
00:45:05And now the Alliance, as Taz comes into the ring.
00:45:10Oh, yeah, you know Taz wants a little piece of the APA.
00:45:13That's 6'7", 282.
00:45:15Taz is a little monster.
00:45:17Well, you know the APA wants a little piece of Taz.
00:45:19Taz costs him the Tag Team Titles.
00:45:21Bradshaw went through the corner.
00:45:22Big knockdown by Taz.
00:45:24Oh, APA didn't deserve it.
00:45:25Come on, Puppet, man.
00:45:26They didn't deserve it.
00:45:27What they did to Taz a while back, beat him down for no reason.
00:45:31They made a mistake and they tried to apologize, Taz, Taz, just let me suck.
00:45:35Bradshaw ripped in the corner, and there's a big group to the face of Taz.
00:45:39He expected to accept an apology after that.
00:45:41They beat him down for no reason.
00:45:43A high-impact match, WWF versus the Alliance.
00:45:46Rock rocks in, and here pops the WCW champion.
00:45:49And Rock unloading on Taz.
00:45:51Finally a man to bring some credibility like Ricky Steamboat and Rick Flair to the WCW title.
00:45:57Wow, you know, I can't help you with that, but.
00:46:00Man, Rock into the cover.
00:46:02Here's the hook of the leg, and Taz with his shoulder up.
00:46:05It was Rock who set off Booker T on Raw using that little guy.
00:46:09Dammit to Booker T.
00:46:10It was hilarious.
00:46:11Look at that little guy.
00:46:12Look at that little guy.
00:46:13Look at that big as Booker.
00:46:15That little guy was a goose.
00:46:16And here comes Rhino.
00:46:17Big shots to this darkness crowd.
00:46:19Comes alive, chanting to The Rock.
00:46:20And The Rock with the right hand to Rhino.
00:46:23Laying the Smackdown on Smackdown.
00:46:25You know, what's the Alliance for right now in this match?
00:46:27We move.
00:46:28What a DDT.
00:46:29Jump to the cover.
00:46:31No.
00:46:32Can I just stop getting a good jump on this match here?
00:46:34We need to just settle down, stop this thing over.
00:46:37Here's Booker T to save Rhino there.
00:46:39Booker T, he wants in.
00:46:41He wants The Rock.
00:46:42Of course with The Rock down, Booker T wants into the right.
00:46:44But The Rock's back up.
00:46:46And The Rock says, just bring it Booker T.
00:46:49Go get him Booker, go get him.
00:46:52Yeah, there we go.
00:46:53Come on there.
00:46:54Come on Booker T.
00:46:55Booker's just not ready yet.
00:46:57Yeah, he's ready now.
00:46:58I guess he is now.
00:46:59You want some respect Booker T?
00:47:01Look at that.
00:47:02Tess with a boot to The Rock.
00:47:03Tess with a big boot now.
00:47:05Pretty face of The Rock.
00:47:06I love it.
00:47:06Booker T kills me.
00:47:07He wants all this respect.
00:47:09He demands respect.
00:47:10He won't get into the ring to face The Rock when The Rock's not down.
00:47:13And here's the 3-0-1 Triple T by The Alliance.
00:47:16This is the time we pay for everything.
00:47:18This is The Rock's time.
00:47:20Yeah, this is The Alliance way of doing things, Tess.
00:47:22Hey, we're a family, my man.
00:47:24We work as a unit.
00:47:26Yeah, work as a unit.
00:47:28Booker T spent all 30 seconds in the ring before bringing in Tess to finish up the dirty one on
00:47:33The Rock.
00:47:34Booker T kills me.
00:47:35He demands respect.
00:47:36He's out here seeing how much better than The Rock is as Rock pedals back with the right hands to
00:47:41Tess.
00:47:41Yeah, the watch Tess take out The Rock.
00:47:43The Rock is bigger.
00:47:44Who says Rock's leg?
00:47:45Tess is bigger.
00:47:46He's gonna pin him right now.
00:47:47Watch him.
00:47:47Here's the cover hook of the leg, and Bradshaw breaks up the three cap.
00:47:50Should have an impact matchup.
00:47:51He had, Tess had Rock beating Bradshaw in the fist.
00:47:54That's fair, right?
00:47:55Yeah, the APA.
00:47:56Yeah, just ignore him.
00:47:57One way to get into the ring.
00:47:58The APA, I'm gonna do this.
00:47:59Hey, WWF is just doing things.
00:48:02WWF is just doing things the way The Alliance does things, Tess.
00:48:05Tick to Tess, that's all it is.
00:48:07Oh, really?
00:48:08So it basically grabs you into fear like that.
00:48:09That's all good.
00:48:10And here comes The Rock with the right hands to Tess.
00:48:12An adrenaline rush for The Rock.
00:48:15Whipped off the ropes, Tess misses the clothesline.
00:48:17The big beat.
00:48:17And the bravo.
00:48:18Fire Buster.
00:48:20Fire Buster claims Tess.
00:48:23And Rock needs to make a tag to one of the members of the APA, his WWF teammates.
00:48:29We need to get Tess off his back.
00:48:30Get Riddle in.
00:48:31Get the book man in.
00:48:33Come on, Tess.
00:48:34Get up, baby.
00:48:34One, two, one.
00:48:36A crowd chanting for The Rock live in Denver, Colorado.
00:48:40That ain't gonna help The Rock.
00:48:41Here comes Booker T and off the tag.
00:48:43And here comes Farouk.
00:48:45Throwing the clothesline to Booker T.
00:48:47Rhino goes down and throws Tess.
00:48:49Oh, Booker T kicks in the midsection.
00:48:52There we go.
00:48:53Hit him with the bunk end, baby.
00:48:54And Booker T off the rope.
00:48:57Spine Buster, hook to the leg.
00:48:58Kick out Booker T.
00:48:59And Tess off the top rope, across the back, by Farouk.
00:49:03Oh, no.
00:49:04Clothesline from hell by Bradshaw.
00:49:06He's not the legal man.
00:49:07Head kick to the face by Booker T.
00:49:09Oh, Booker T and Farouk are the legal man.
00:49:12Look, he deserves to get his teeth kicked down his throat.
00:49:14Booker T slowly to his feet.
00:49:16Farouk in trouble as well.
00:49:18Oh, look out.
00:49:18Flying away to the ring.
00:49:20Go!
00:49:20Go!
00:49:21Go!
00:49:21Go to Farouk by Rido.
00:49:24All-American, huh?
00:49:25Yeah, that was real legal, too.
00:49:27Hey, hey, hey.
00:49:28Rido's an opportunity to throw over.
00:49:30Patrick just watched it.
00:49:31Farouk feeling the effects of the gore.
00:49:33Oh, here it comes.
00:49:34Here's a big party underneath.
00:49:36Spine Buster.
00:49:37Oh, Rock's gonna make sure the Spine Buster doesn't happen.
00:49:39Here's the real most electrifying man in sports entertainment.
00:49:43The Rock knocking the snot out of Booker T.
00:49:49The People's Champion, the WCW Champion,
00:49:52taking it to the man he beat at SummerSlam.
00:49:54How do you condone this, Cole?
00:49:56Rock's not even legal.
00:49:57Come on.
00:49:58Oh, look out.
00:49:59Booker T.
00:49:59Scissors kicked to the back of the head of Farouk.
00:50:03Rock trying to get the right test.
00:50:05Cover.
00:50:07Cover.
00:50:08Here's the cover, and he got him.
00:50:09He got him.
00:50:10He got him.
00:50:11Booker T defeats Farouk.
00:50:14The Alliance defeats the WWF.
00:50:17Booker T.
00:50:20Booker T making a bit of a statement with a win over Farouk.
00:50:25The Alliance defeating the WWF here tonight.
00:50:33That's what I'm saying.
00:50:34Booker look good.
00:50:36Getting it through.
00:50:36Crank in.
00:50:38Oh, Booker T, Rhino and Tess licking their wounds.
00:50:41The Rock is irate, as is the APA.
00:50:44If it wasn't for an illegal gore by Rhino to Farouk,
00:50:47this may have turned out differently.
00:50:49Yeah.
00:50:50But that doesn't matter.
00:50:52Because the gore happened, and it was sweet.
00:50:54Look at Booker.
00:50:55Do a Spinner Rooney on the stage, Booker.
00:50:59It's all crap himself, isn't it?
00:51:01Here it is.
00:51:01Oh, give me a break.
00:51:03The Spinner Rooney.
00:51:04How does it go down and do it in a ring in front of the APA in a ride?
00:51:09Still to come tonight, Stone Cold Steve Austin meets Y2J.
00:51:14Will Jericho become the number one contender?
00:51:16We'll find out tonight, live.
00:51:20WWF fans are jammed into WWF New York tonight in the heart of Times Square for
00:51:25SmackDown.
00:51:25A great week for Xbox, he's standing by.
00:51:28Yeah.
00:51:30So last Sunday, at SummerSlam, I won back my WWF Light Heavyweight Championship.
00:51:38And you know that makes me the first person in history, history, to ever win titles at the same time
00:51:48from both organizations.
00:51:50And I am the one that brought prestige back to a division that was nonexistent until I let my presence
00:52:00be known.
00:52:01So I guess that makes me one of the greatest superstars to ever step foot in a WWF ring.
00:52:10If you don't believe me, ask anybody I've ever been in the ring with.
00:52:15Still don't believe me?
00:52:16Come on, step up and come get you some.
00:52:20WWF, WCW, short, tall, big, small, I don't care.
00:52:26Because greatness is standing in front of you people.
00:52:31And it's about time that you realized it.
00:52:38You know, I think this is going to work.
00:52:40You won't know the difference.
00:52:41How will you know the difference?
00:52:42The man's a bloody imbecile, he won't know the difference.
00:52:45Come in.
00:52:45Marpy!
00:52:47Marpy!
00:52:48Hello, Perry, how are you?
00:52:50Have you seen Marpy?
00:52:51I know you've been going through a lot of heartache lately, a lot of distress, but being the good commissioner
00:52:57that I am, guess who I found for you?
00:52:59Marpy.
00:53:00Looking as radiant as ever.
00:53:02Here she is.
00:53:04Marpy!
00:53:05Oh, look.
00:53:08Hey, this isn't Marpy.
00:53:11It's an ordinary house mop and someone painted a face on it.
00:53:15It's had plastic surgery.
00:53:16What do you think I'm stupid?
00:53:19What do you think I'm stupid?
00:53:19What do you think I'm stupid?
00:53:21What do you think I'm stupid?
00:53:25Marpy!
00:53:27Marpy!
00:53:28Marpy!
00:53:30Oh, my God.
00:53:34Is that or has lost it?
00:53:36Oh, it's gone.
00:53:36Gone.
00:53:38It wasn't one of your better ideas, was it?
00:53:40You bloody idiot.
00:53:44You think you know me.
00:53:45Well, Christian's continued quest for seemingly his own success has gotten he and his brother in this predicament here tonight,
00:53:52hedging Christian to meet Undertaker and King.
00:53:56Full-on contest is scheduled for one of all, and it is for the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Tipping.
00:54:03Take it away from Toronto, Ontario, a fine weight of 459 pounds, Christian and Edge!
00:54:13Hey, you gotta give us credit where credit's due, Cole, and I'll give it.
00:54:16Edge, becoming Intercontinental Champion at SummerSlam in the beaten man's storm.
00:54:21Big up to Edge.
00:54:23Phenomenal task there.
00:54:24Two, three, three, two, three, three, three, four...
00:54:27No!
00:54:35And, taking his way to the ring,
00:54:38Hanging in at 326 pounds,
00:54:41What I am the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions...
00:54:46Well, this isn't the matchup we expected to see here tonight, Edge was supposed to defend his Intercontinental title, but
00:54:51Christian went to Commissioner Regal and said, we want a Tag Team Championship matchup. The Commissioner said, fine. So now
00:54:57it's Edge and Christian against The Undertaker and Kane, and Edge isn't too pleased.
00:55:01Oh!
00:55:31The Brothers of Destruction unifying the WWF and WC9U Tag Team titles inside a steel cage.
00:55:40Look at Edge, look at what's Christian Continental?
00:55:42I think Edge is asking that question.
00:55:46Well, Christian hoping to become eight-time WWF Tag Team Champions here tonight, but the Brothers of Destruction, they're on
00:55:53a mission.
00:55:54I think we've got to point out, Cole, I mean, Edge is not afraid, you know, but I mean, I
00:55:57think he's just going to propose a defender to the Continental Championship.
00:56:00Well, it's one thing to have the mindset to go in and defend your Intercontinental title.
00:56:04It's another thing to have the mindset of going in as a challenger, not only for the Tag Team titles,
00:56:09but against the Brothers of Destruction.
00:56:11Well, you know, Taker and Kane got all the gold.
00:56:13WCW gold, WWF gold, and monsters.
00:56:17I mean, I think if I'm Edge, I want to do what he wants to do.
00:56:22I've got my own Shrinkers title.
00:56:24I've got no gold.
00:56:24If you're Edge and Christian, or any team for that matter, when you go into a matchup against Undertaker and
00:56:29Kane, what on earth do you do to try to combat the Brothers of Destruction?
00:56:33Oh, look at this.
00:56:34Wait a minute.
00:56:34Christian wanted this matchup, but he has his brother Edge starting the damn thing.
00:56:38Give me a break.
00:56:40Well, I'm sure Edge will start to soften up, take a little bit, and then Christian will come in and
00:56:44take a little bit.
00:56:45Edge with the right hands to Undertaker.
00:56:47Who are we to judge Edge and Christian?
00:56:48These guys are seven-time WWF Tag Team Champions.
00:56:52What power by the Undertaker.
00:56:54I'm not judging anybody.
00:56:55I'm just making an observation.
00:56:56Edge is whipped across the ring into the corner.
00:56:58Elbow to the Undertaker by the Intercontinental Champion.
00:57:00Nice toehold by the Undertaker with finesse dropping an elbow into the back.
00:57:04Undertaker and Kane are two of the most dominant people, forces.
00:57:08Here's the cover.
00:57:09In the history of sports entertainment, I just wish one day they'd come to the Alliance side and they'd see
00:57:14the light.
00:57:23Undertaker going to go to the old school.
00:57:25The old school, I actually like this goal.
00:57:27I like watching WWF destroy WWF.
00:57:30Break his arm.
00:57:31Yeah.
00:57:32Undertaker across the shoulder blade of Edge and now trying to rip that elbow out of him.
00:57:36Nice, nice cross arm breaker right there by Undertaker.
00:57:39And Christian breaks it up.
00:57:40I'm talking about WWF versus the WWF.
00:57:42Of course it is, but competition's good for everybody.
00:57:44Nice spinning heel kick, good for the World Wrestling Federation.
00:57:47And here comes Christian.
00:57:48I think it's great for the World Wrestling Federation.
00:57:50Now, drive his back into the match.
00:57:52I love it.
00:57:53And you're talking about this WWF, WWF problem as Kane comes in off the tag by his brother.
00:57:58What about earlier tonight?
00:58:00Rob Van Damme and Raven having all kinds of problems.
00:58:02The Alliance is splitting.
00:58:03That's just a minor.
00:58:04A minor misunderstanding.
00:58:05We're working for that right now.
00:58:06A little bump in the road, right?
00:58:07That's all it is, Cole.
00:58:08Yeah, just minor.
00:58:09That's just minor, exactly.
00:58:11Sidewalk slam.
00:58:12Hook of the leg by Kane.
00:58:13And Edge breaks up the three count.
00:58:15I don't think Edge's mind is on this match, Cole.
00:58:18I think he's full of that ego that he might have.
00:58:21He just wants to break his own side.
00:58:22Blow by Christian.
00:58:24Referee had his back turned.
00:58:25And Christian's desperate as he hammers away on the big red machine Kane.
00:58:29You see that bandage around the elbow shows you the battle that Undertaker and Kane went through
00:58:34at SummerSlam Sunday inside that steel cage.
00:58:36Well, that was retaliate, no doubt.
00:58:38But I mean, Edge and Christian, you can't talk good enough about these guys.
00:58:43I think we're talking about coming to the Alliance.
00:58:45Go!
00:58:46Look out, moved to the face by the big red machine Kane.
00:58:48And here comes brother, The Undertaker.
00:58:51It just gets worse.
00:58:52It's like a pinball game in there with Taker Kane.
00:58:55Undertaker right hands to Christian.
00:58:56Christian winded this matchup.
00:58:58He's getting some from Undertaker now.
00:58:59Ripped into the corner.
00:59:00Undertaker follows it up with power.
00:59:03Unadulterated power by The Undertaker.
00:59:05Dead Man ain't gonna rage.
00:59:06What else is new?
00:59:076'10", 330 pounds.
00:59:09Christian's head bouncing off the turnbuckle.
00:59:12And look at Undertaker.
00:59:13What a boot to the face.
00:59:15Wow.
00:59:17Here's the time.
00:59:18It's coming.
00:59:19Oh, Undertaker.
00:59:20Here it is.
00:59:22It is.
00:59:22Oh, a spear.
00:59:23What a spear by Edge to The Undertaker.
00:59:26And Kane into the ring with the right hand.
00:59:28WWF Tag Team Titles are on the line.
00:59:30Oh, by Christian and Undertaker kicks out.
00:59:33It's gonna take a little bit more than that to beat that N.A.
00:59:36That's a spear.
00:59:36Now, Christian in control of Undertaker following the spear by Christian's brother, Edge.
00:59:41Perhaps going for the unprettier.
00:59:42Undertaker counter.
00:59:43Christian, shot to the gun.
00:59:45Look out.
00:59:46Guess where he's going, Cole.
00:59:47Christian's going for that ugly last ride.
00:59:51Christian way up high.
00:59:53Down to the mat below.
00:59:55Last ride by The Undertaker.
00:59:57Into the cover.
00:59:58One, two, three.
01:00:00Brothers of Destruction win.
01:00:04Christian's wishing he would have just run out.
01:00:07Edge wrestlers for his in the coming.
01:00:08Here are your winners and still what's the iteration tag team champions.
01:00:14The Undertaker and Kane.
01:00:16Ironically, it was Christian the man who won in this match.
01:00:19But he got his behind whipped by the dominating, devastating Brothers of Destruction.
01:00:49And coming up next, it's the WWF versus the Alliance.
01:00:55Yeah!
01:00:56Lita beats Ivory.
01:00:57Two former women's champions.
01:00:59Go at it live next.
01:01:03Earlier tonight on SmackDown, Rob Van Dam, Jeff Hardy, hardcore title on the line.
01:01:07And the risk taker, Jeff Hardy.
01:01:09You had to know at some point in time, it was going to catch up to Jeff Hardy sooner or
01:01:13later.
01:01:14No doubt.
01:01:14And Jeff Hardy definitely crashed and burned.
01:01:17I mean, I've been put through tables, but never from this height.
01:01:21I mean, look at this.
01:01:22I mean, how do you describe the impact of that on his spine and kidneys?
01:01:26Jeff Hardy, some 15 feet in the air, we can tell you he's been evaluated by medical personnel
01:01:30here in the locker room area.
01:01:32And luckily, surprisingly, Jeff Hardy only suffered bruised ribs.
01:01:35Look, he's alive.
01:01:36I'm just glad it wasn't RBD.
01:01:37It's a miracle that he's, that he's, that's all he suffered was bruised ribs.
01:01:41Well, nonetheless, Jeff Hardy with the bruised ribs as Lita makes her way to the ring.
01:01:45Won't she be tough enough?
01:01:46Won't she be diving next?
01:01:47Speaking of tough enough, let's take a look at what happened last week at MTV's number
01:01:51one rated show.
01:01:56I miss my girlfriend at home.
01:01:58This is a lot harder than we thought it was going to be.
01:02:00Having a girlfriend and wanting to be a wrestler is not the easiest thing to do at the same
01:02:05time.
01:02:05We haven't really sat down and had a conversation about what would happen if I was to win.
01:02:09You expect me to sit at home and watch you wrestle and raise my, our kids?
01:02:14It's not going to happen.
01:02:15This is like the ultimate goal, you know, being here.
01:02:17If she, if she doesn't want to sit and wait, then I don't know.
01:02:21I am absolutely focused on this.
01:02:24I found out this is one thing I really have a passion for.
01:02:26You know, I love Christine, but I want this career.
01:02:29And if I have to make that sacrifice for it, so be it.
01:02:35I'm trying to tell myself that, you know, there's nothing wrong with me.
01:02:41Actually, your report showed that you had two herniated discs.
01:02:46You actually now have an additional small one on the right side of L3-4.
01:02:53Half of my spine's showing.
01:02:54I've been waiting my whole life for this opportunity.
01:02:56This is, I looked at this as, this is why I was put on this planet.
01:03:00I think it's in Greg's best interest to, you know, stop.
01:03:04I'm not washed up, he's like, but for the time being, there's no possible way he can keep going right
01:03:12now.
01:03:13So we have to quit.
01:03:17It became pretty emotional because it broke my heart.
01:03:20I become emotionally invested in these kids and want to see them succeed as badly as they do.
01:03:24I think that Greg had a, honest to God, good shot to win this competition.
01:03:29If nothing else, I'm satisfied to know that I've been very much back, and that's an accomplishment in itself.
01:03:36I can live with that.
01:03:39It's the number one rated show on cable TV on Thursday night.
01:03:42It's tough enough in this week's special guest, former WWF Commissioner McFoley.
01:03:50Well, here comes the courageous Lita, still smarting, following that Tonya Hardy-like attack by Ivory Sunday night on Heat.
01:04:00The following women's contesting schedule for one fall, making her way to the wing, Lita.
01:04:07Lita, the girlfriend of European champion Matt Hardy, but an ambush, a sneak attack by Ivory, Tori Wilson, Stacey Keebler,
01:04:14your Alliance buddies on Heat this past Sunday night.
01:04:18Lita's have to go one-on-one with Ivory here tonight live.
01:04:24Tonight's SmackDown is bookied by Foot Locker.
01:04:26Stop by Foot Locker.
01:04:27Buy one, get one, half-off set going on now, and hook yourself up with the newest kick for back
01:04:32to school.
01:04:33And by Claricelle, acne defense cleanser.
01:04:35Claricelle, clearly looking better.
01:04:37And by Corn Knox.
01:04:38Corn gone wrong.
01:04:39The surprisingly hardcore corn snack and seven mean flavors.
01:04:43I gotta ask you something there, Happy.
01:04:44Did you just say Tonya Hardy?
01:04:46How do you know that broad?
01:04:47She's from the neighborhood.
01:04:48Joey Numbers used to finagle water.
01:04:50She's the one who attacked Nancy Kerrigan before the Olympics.
01:04:52Give me a break.
01:04:54And representing the Alliance, Ivory.
01:04:58We talked about the attack by Ivory on Lita this past Sunday night on Heat.
01:05:02This coming Sunday night on Heat live from WWF New York.
01:05:05Special guest hosts, Commissioner Regal and Tajiri live this Sunday night.
01:05:11Look at Ivory.
01:05:11What a great player coach she is.
01:05:13She's guiding Stacey and Tori to success as a woman's champion around here.
01:05:20I mean, Ivory is just like, she's just got such knowledge to guide these people.
01:05:24She couldn't make it for WWF.
01:05:25She turned her back on it.
01:05:27Look at the Alliance as Lita goes to work on Ivory.
01:05:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:30She's a WWF champion, Cole.
01:05:32Well, I'll tell you what, man.
01:05:32Women's champion.
01:05:33Lita, not 100%.
01:05:34You can see her favorite left knee.
01:05:35Why don't you talk about what I'm saying?
01:05:37You call her, you say Ivory's not, didn't make it in WWF.
01:05:40She had the women's title.
01:05:42Well, let's call the match.
01:05:42Let's talk about Ivory working on that left leg, Taz.
01:05:46The left knee, that Ivory, and that sneak attack
01:05:48took out from under Lita on Heat Sunday night.
01:05:51Nice enziguri by Lita.
01:05:52Brian, we're ignoring, yeah, you're right.
01:05:53She was working on the injured left knee by Tanya Harding,
01:05:56the Tanya Harding injury from Red Oak.
01:05:58Look at this now, Lita, big suplex to Ivory,
01:06:01and Lita in control, two former women's champions going at it.
01:06:05And take another look at the enziguri by Lita.
01:06:08The three sixes got enziguri by the heart, Lita.
01:06:11And look at Lita retaliating on the leg of Ivory.
01:06:13Giving Ivory some of her own medicine as Ivory goes down low again
01:06:16to that injured left knee.
01:06:18Never turn your back on your opponent, Cole, Wrestling 101.
01:06:21Well, the courageous Lita, even that she's even out here tonight.
01:06:23I mean, she's not 100%, but she wants to get revenge on Ivory.
01:06:28Just like Jericho.
01:06:29Here's the cover hook of the leg.
01:06:31Just like Jericho better not turn his back for one second on Austin.
01:06:35Or else, bam, he'll be taken out.
01:06:37Well, live tonight, Stone Cold Jericho.
01:06:40The number one contender for the WWF Championship.
01:06:43We'll find out live on SmackDown as Ivory continues the attack on that left leg.
01:06:48Look at this, great game plan by Ivory.
01:06:50I mean, that's why she's a mentor.
01:06:52Look at this, she's picking apart that knee.
01:06:54And this is the capacity crowd chanting from Lita.
01:06:57Look at Lita.
01:06:58Nice, I don't have to get that knee to me.
01:07:00Ivory back to her feet, knocked down by Lita with a clothesline.
01:07:03Lita with a clothesline again.
01:07:05And Lita's starting to build momentum in this match.
01:07:08Ivory, Ivory can teach Stacey and Torres so much, and she's so-
01:07:12And a leg scissors by Lita, to Ivory, her head bouncing off the mat.
01:07:16Wait a minute.
01:07:17It is Hurricane.
01:07:19Hurricane Helms from the Alliance, what the hell is he doing out here?
01:07:21These buddies get the green lantern, I don't know.
01:07:23We're off the Russian Lake Street, Lita going to the top rope, and Hurricane Helms.
01:07:26A shot by Lita, a clothesline.
01:07:29What the hell is that about?
01:07:30And Ivory, to her feet, takes a shot to the face.
01:07:33Lita, look at Hurricane Helms.
01:07:35The referee didn't see it, his back was turned.
01:07:36A tremendous leverage move.
01:07:38She deserves it, but she can't have a hurricane.
01:07:40I think Lita fell on that bump left knee as Hurricane Helms shuts her back into the ring.
01:07:46I think Lita's locked down, actually.
01:07:47Now Ivory, into the cover, hook of the leg.
01:07:50And Ivory steals one from Lita.
01:07:53Give me a break.
01:07:54Hurricane Helms helping her Alliance buddy, Ivory, right in the middle of the ring.
01:07:58And there's Matt Hardy, Lita's boyfriend, the European champion, coming to the aid of Lita,
01:08:03but not before the damage was done.
01:08:05Go ahead, Matt.
01:08:06Give him mouth to mouth right in the middle of the ring.
01:08:07Go ahead.
01:08:08Look at this.
01:08:09Go ahead.
01:08:09Kiss her.
01:08:12Not the last thing was Ivory over Lita.
01:08:15Check out Hurricane Helms getting involved in the matchup.
01:08:18Lita, she fell on a bump left knee.
01:08:21Hurricane Helms shoved her back into the ring.
01:08:23Helping Ivory pick up the win.
01:08:25I think she fell on the head too.
01:08:27But she deserved it.
01:08:28Look at Matt.
01:08:29Oh, kissy, kissy, Lita.
01:08:33A beautiful sunset here in Denver.
01:08:35We are live in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains.
01:08:38We're tonight on SmackDown.
01:08:39Stone Cold Steve Austin goes one-on-one with Chris Jericho.
01:08:43Next.
01:08:43Yes, Y2J with his big mouth is going to get himself a lot of trouble against the Rattles.
01:08:48Well, Stone Cold Steve Austin four days removed from perhaps the biggest challenge of his career when he met Kurt
01:08:55Angle at SummerSlam.
01:08:59It's Austin and Kurt Angle for the WWF title.
01:09:02And you got to believe down deep in your soul that this one is going to be as physically intense
01:09:07as perhaps anything that we will ever see.
01:09:09And the most vicious shark of them all, Stone Cold Steve Austin is sinking his teeth into a bloody Kurt
01:09:17Angle.
01:09:18And Austin for the third time with a Stone Cold Stunner.
01:09:21It's over now.
01:09:22It's not over.
01:09:23My God!
01:09:24My God!
01:09:25Angle kicked out!
01:09:26And Austin cannot believe it!
01:09:28Where does Kurt Angle get the strength to kick out a three Stone Cold Stunner?
01:09:34Now, by God, Paul, I am convinced that Austin cannot beat Kurt Angle on this night.
01:09:40Wait a minute!
01:09:41My God!
01:09:41That's three referees Austin has taken out!
01:09:44And Angle again got the slam!
01:09:47We need a referee!
01:09:48He's got the cover!
01:09:49And here comes another referee!
01:09:51Wait a minute!
01:09:53What the hell is this?
01:09:55Referee Nick Patrick has disqualified Stone Cold Steve Austin for excessive abuse towards the officials.
01:10:03However, still World Wrestling Federation Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin!
01:10:10Kurt Angle just got screwed by God!
01:10:13Now Kurt Angle attacks the referee!
01:10:15Nick Patrick is tapping like a drunk man!
01:10:17Break his damn ankle!
01:10:19Because Kurt Angle just got screwed out of the WWF title!
01:10:25Oh, what a SummerSlam it was!
01:10:27And Kurt Angle in perhaps one of the most controversial decisions in WWF Championship history!
01:10:32I don't think it was controversial!
01:10:34Stone Cold remains WWF Champion the way it should be!
01:10:37Well, I agree with JR!
01:10:38I don't think Stone Cold Steve Austin can beat Kurt Angle!
01:10:41But can Stone Cold Steve Austin defeat Chris Jericho?
01:10:44We're gonna find out coming up next here on SmackDown Live in Denver!
01:10:49It's Stone Cold Steve Austin and Y2J Chris Jericho!
01:10:52Can Jericho become the number one contender?
01:11:01We're not done with our little dance.
01:11:04You keep acting all overjoyed at the fact that you're Rob Van Dam.
01:11:09But I'm Raven, the greatest hardcore warrior to ever walk the WCW, ECW rings.
01:11:15And I took to heart what Stone Cold said.
01:11:18And when he's done whipping Chris Jericho, I know he's gonna be in a damn good mood.
01:11:22And I'm gonna ask him for a hardcore title match against you on Monday night.
01:11:29Hey, whatever Raven.
01:11:31I mean, if you want a shot at my hardcore title, just say so.
01:11:35Only, don't waste your time talking to me.
01:11:38Stone Cold's room is just two doors down.
01:11:40And hey, when you talk to him, don't just tell him you want to be the next hardcore champion.
01:11:44Tell him you want that hardcore championship title
01:11:47at the expense of everybody's favorite superstar, Rob Van Dam.
01:11:54Oh, I will.
01:11:55Do that.
01:11:56I will.
01:11:56Yeah, good luck.
01:11:57Yeah, see you soon.
01:11:58On Monday.
01:11:59Be there.
01:12:00Yeah.
01:12:01So two Alliance members gonna go head-to-head Monday night on Raw.
01:12:05But up next, live on SmackDown, Stone Cold, Jericho, next.
01:12:18We are live in Denver, Colorado with SmackDown.
01:12:21The WWF champion and Alliance leader, Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
01:12:30Following context is scheduled for one fall.
01:12:34In the ring from Victoria, Texas, weighing in at 252 pounds,
01:12:39is the World Wrestling Federation champion, Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
01:12:45There he is, Cole, the greatest, greatest WWF champion of all time.
01:12:51I see you're sporting the Stone Cold colors out here tonight,
01:12:54wearing the Stone Cold T-shirt after the man who leads by example embarrassed you
01:12:59on Raw Monday night.
01:13:00No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:13:01I respect the Bionic Redneck.
01:13:03I respect the leader of the Alliance.
01:13:05I'm not saying I always agree with him.
01:13:07I'm not always saying I please the man.
01:13:09But I respect him, and you should, too.
01:13:12Wait a minute.
01:13:13Well, it's supposed to be Austin versus Jericho,
01:13:15but that's Commissioner Regal.
01:13:18The WWF commissioner, William Regal.
01:13:21I don't know what he's doing out here.
01:13:25Your name might be Stone Cold Steve Austin,
01:13:28and you may be the WWF champion,
01:13:32but you don't make the rules around here.
01:13:35I do.
01:13:37What?
01:13:38What is he talking about? Please.
01:13:40And so tonight, your match against Y2J
01:13:44will be for the WWF championship.
01:13:47All right!
01:13:48Yeah!
01:13:49Did he fit?
01:13:50Commissioner Regal asserting his authority.
01:13:53What do you mean it's not fair?
01:13:54He's the commissioner.
01:13:55He can do anything he wants.
01:13:56Yeah, but look at Austin.
01:13:56He don't sweat that.
01:13:58He's smiling.
01:13:59He's sick.
01:13:59He's so kind.
01:14:00You're damn right.
01:14:01He's the champ.
01:14:01What an opportunity for Y2J tonight live.
01:14:06The WWF title is on the line.
01:14:10Yeah!
01:14:10I've support them!
01:14:11He's smiling!
01:14:13He's smiling!
01:14:16He's smiling!
01:14:20He's smiling!
01:14:20The champion here
01:14:23with 97 camaraderie.
01:14:26Jesus, Jerusalem!
01:14:28Put one, one!
01:14:33The magnificentÃssims are?
01:14:34Theresa婆!
01:14:37And here we go, Austin and Jericho, WWF title is on the line.
01:14:42And Taz, you gotta believe Jericho can't be 100%.
01:14:44He's stuck with a concussion in his match at SummerSlam Sunday.
01:14:48And he can't pass on this opportunity.
01:14:50I love it, Paul.
01:14:50Already, I don't have to do with nothing.
01:14:52Already, you backtracked and made excuses for Jericho.
01:14:56He's gonna get beat.
01:14:57Playing in simple, he's gonna get started.
01:14:58I'm making excuses.
01:14:59I'm telling it the way it is.
01:15:01Telling it the way it is that Austin's still lucky to be WWF champion.
01:15:04After the performance by Angle on SummerSlam Sunday, Austin in the post.
01:15:09I don't know, I'm more concerned now with Austin's shoulder.
01:15:10He might have just separated it.
01:15:12And Chris Jericho working on that left shoulder of Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
01:15:16What an opportunity for Chris Jericho.
01:15:18He had an opportunity a few weeks ago at King of the Ring.
01:15:21He gets a rematch here tonight against Stone Cold.
01:15:24Yeah, what an opportunity for Stone Cold to finally shut up the big mouth of Chris Jericho.
01:15:29Austin must be late and never expected.
01:15:30Wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:15:31Here's the line that Jericho made it.
01:15:32No, a kick out.
01:15:34Well, you ain't gonna get a ping Stone Cold Steve Austin at his head.
01:15:38And there you see Kurt Angle looking on.
01:15:41Kurt Angle watching intently.
01:15:42He wants Stone Cold Steve Austin.
01:15:44Angle, in my opinion, should be the WWF champion.
01:15:47Right now, my concern is Stone Cold Steve Austin's shoulder.
01:15:50Jericho has got a good strategy.
01:15:51I hate to admit it, by trying to pick up on that shoulder.
01:15:54The cover championship on the line.
01:15:55And Austin slips out of the cover by Jericho.
01:15:58Nice drop toehold by Stone Cold Steve Austin.
01:16:00And Austin floats quickly.
01:16:01And that face is locking up.
01:16:02Oh, there it goes.
01:16:03He's got a hammerlock that really talks your shoulder and the rotator cuff.
01:16:07I still don't think it's fair, but I mean, you know, that's the right show.
01:16:11He'll wrestle out of this.
01:16:13Austin went through a long physical battle at Summer Slam with Kurt Angle.
01:16:17Now he's tossed into this WWF title match tonight by the WWF Commissioner, William Regal.
01:16:23Well, Jericho gets what he wants.
01:16:25He's a lucky punk.
01:16:26He gets everything he wants.
01:16:27Now he's not lucky.
01:16:28He's just good.
01:16:29He ain't good.
01:16:30He's a primadonna.
01:16:30He's a primadonna.
01:16:31Can he lock it in?
01:16:34No way.
01:16:34Can he lock it in?
01:16:36He ain't turning it easy.
01:16:37It's over.
01:16:37And Austin desperately makes it to the ropes.
01:16:40Not a shot.
01:16:41Not that easy, Ryan T.J., uh-uh.
01:16:44And Austin tossing Y2J through the middle rope.
01:16:48And now the Texas Rattlesnake with the WWF title on the line,
01:16:52can take control of a falling Chris Jericho.
01:16:54Austin's dangerous out here, bro.
01:16:56He'll pick him apart.
01:16:57And Chris Jericho, Y2J bouncing off the announce table right here in front of us.
01:17:02The psychotic Stone Cold Steve Austin off the ring post Jericho.
01:17:05There's that shoulder.
01:17:06There's that shoulder again.
01:17:08Stone Cold going to that ring post like you need a Kurt Angle at Summer Slam.
01:17:12Jericho giving Austin some of his own massive.
01:17:14Jericho's a desperate man.
01:17:16That's what he is, a desperate man trying to pick the shoulder apart.
01:17:20Chris Jericho's desperate because he wanted to bring the WWF title home to the World Wrestling Federation
01:17:25as Austin bounces off the barricade.
01:17:27Jericho's sadistic.
01:17:28No respect for Alita.
01:17:30He knows Austin's hurt, and he's trying to take out his shoulder.
01:17:33Chris Jericho, listen to those chops up the top for Alita.
01:17:36Sure, sure, Jericho could be in the ring so he beats him on the outside.
01:17:39He tossed it back into the ring because he can't win the WWF title outside.
01:17:43Smart maneuver by Jericho.
01:17:44Yeah, real smart.
01:17:45He just got a double axe handle on the back of his big head.
01:17:47Kurt Angle looking on again.
01:17:49What?
01:17:49Look at the intensity in the eyes of Kurt Angle.
01:17:51Again, he's drinking water.
01:17:52Where's your milk, Angle?
01:17:54Punk.
01:17:55Angle desperately believes he should have been WWE Champion Sunday, and I concur.
01:18:00Cole, you don't wanna be on the other end of Austin's wrath.
01:18:04You know what that simply is.
01:18:05Look at Chris Jericho continues to work on that shoulder of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
01:18:08Austin did a tremendous amount of pain.
01:18:10He's just trying a lot.
01:18:11Jericho's trying to break the shoulder, man.
01:18:13He just got it.
01:18:13Well, come on.
01:18:14Give Jericho some props, Cassie.
01:18:15He's doing a tremendous job on Stone Cold Steve Austin wearing him down.
01:18:18Now he is.
01:18:19I'll give you that.
01:18:20That's cool.
01:18:21That's fine.
01:18:21But he's gonna have to do a lot more to Austin than picking up on his shoulder.
01:18:25Austin.
01:18:25Come on.
01:18:26Yeah, he did get to the ball.
01:18:28WWE Champion gets to the road, of course, is Chris Jericho to break the hole.
01:18:31Austin.
01:18:32Hold on.
01:18:33Cole, why doesn't the ref break the hole completely?
01:18:36Look out, chop to the chest.
01:18:38Jericho whipped across the ring by Austin.
01:18:40Austin.
01:18:41And a desperation maneuver.
01:18:43And looking in favor of the shoulder for Stone Cold.
01:18:45It buys Austin some time.
01:18:47Of course, Jericho rammed his shoulder, Austin.
01:18:50Into the damn ring post.
01:18:52Is that legal?
01:18:53No.
01:18:53No.
01:18:53I, I, I, I.
01:18:54Referee asked Austin if he wanted to give it up to the toughest best SOB in the world today.
01:18:58He says, hell no.
01:18:59Austin trying to get the blood flowing back into that shoulder.
01:19:02IQ, J.
01:19:04Disrespecting Austin.
01:19:05Nice, nice.
01:19:06Oh, a low blow, Austin had the referee distracted talking about the shoulder.
01:19:10And the Rattlesnake with a low blow striking Jericho.
01:19:13Paul leader is a ring general, so smug.
01:19:16What a tactician.
01:19:17The WWF title on the line,
01:19:20Stone Cold with that sick look in his eye.
01:19:22It was Chris Jericho who came out here earlier on tonight,
01:19:26running his mouth, embarrassed humiliated Austin.
01:19:31The fact of the matter is that's true.
01:19:33The fact of the matter is why 2J wrote a check in his mouth
01:19:36that his ass can't cash, and Austin's gonna cash it.
01:19:39WWF championship on the line.
01:19:41We are live in Denver with SmackDown.
01:19:43Chris Jericho with a golden opportunity
01:19:45as Stone Cold slides out of the ring.
01:19:48Get him, Rattlesnake, get him, baby!
01:19:50And Referee will have to tell him the champ,
01:19:52get him back in the ring.
01:19:54Jericho cannot win the title outside the ring.
01:19:56Oh, look at Austin.
01:19:57Grabbing, Jericho!
01:19:58Stephen pokes, hit it, crack.
01:20:00They're gonna hold up it, right on the spine.
01:20:03Yeah, Jericho, I see something funny now.
01:20:05It kills your legs, it takes the nose of your legs right out of here.
01:20:08He makes Stone Cold has something to prove here tonight, Taz.
01:20:10He never pins Kurt Angle at SummerSlam.
01:20:13Never got the job done in my opinion tonight.
01:20:15Brutally beating Chris Jericho.
01:20:17He's trying to prove something here tonight.
01:20:19Right now, Cole, Rolston is leading by example, and who's right?
01:20:22By destroying Chris Jericho
01:20:24to show his unrespective thought of distance.
01:20:26Well, Stone Cold, the Paranoid champion is psychotic.
01:20:29We saw a psychotic side against Kurt Angle at SummerSlam Sunday.
01:20:33And now we're seeing it against Jericho here tonight
01:20:35with the WWF title on the line.
01:20:37Jericho cowers, rolls him up, gets a new champion, he's got it!
01:20:41Austin kicks that after two, and finds it up with a wicked right hand.
01:20:45The vicious Rattlesnake knocking the pink slide out of Jericho's big mouth.
01:20:50Austin complaining to the referee that Jericho had his trunks.
01:20:53I didn't see that.
01:20:53He did, come on, Cole!
01:20:55He did!
01:20:57And this crowd is all over Stone Cold.
01:20:59Steve Austin, an unflattering champ directed at the Rattlesnake.
01:21:03If these people are shut up, believe me,
01:21:05Austin will never come back to Denver!
01:21:08And Stone Cold Steve Austin, WWF champion in control of Jericho.
01:21:12Hey, Cole, you gotta admit, you've been on the other end.
01:21:15Counter by Jericho!
01:21:16Here comes Y2J, battling back for the title on the line!
01:21:20Come on, Austin, shut him down!
01:21:22He's working on that shoulder again!
01:21:24Jericho right across the ring.
01:21:26Up over the top goes Chris Jericho.
01:21:27No, no, no!
01:21:28And Jericho, getting Austin up!
01:21:30If he can lock in the walls of Jericho, it's gonna be all over!
01:21:33It'll be all over!
01:21:34Don't turn him!
01:21:34Don't turn him!
01:21:34Don't get the ropes, Austin!
01:21:36There you go!
01:21:37Austin, to the ropes again, great ring presence by the champion.
01:21:40Why is Hedlund now yanking off Jericho quicker?
01:21:43He got him off, what do you want him to do?
01:21:46Don't come in with a turn hooker!
01:21:47Jericho!
01:21:48No, no, no!
01:21:51Austin might be out, Cole!
01:21:53No, no!
01:21:54No, no!
01:21:55Yeah!
01:21:55Austin counter!
01:21:57I love it!
01:21:58Austin had Jericho scouted perfectly with the title on the line.
01:22:02Austin buried his knees right in Jericho's guts.
01:22:05Stone Cold writhing in pain.
01:22:07Chris Jericho stumbling to his feet.
01:22:09World Wrestling Federation title is on his line.
01:22:12Austin telling Jericho to get up.
01:22:14There he is!
01:22:14A stutter!
01:22:15Jericho Coward!
01:22:17No!
01:22:17On his shoulder again!
01:22:19Working on that left shoulder, Chris Jericho applying the pressure, locking it in!
01:22:23He's got a Fujiwara armbar on him and he's got it in tight!
01:22:26And Austin to the ropes again.
01:22:30No!
01:22:30Austin as Jericho tried to just pull that shoulder out!
01:22:33Imagine the torque on the shoulder!
01:22:35Look at how tough our leader is!
01:22:36Look at the guts and heart and pride of Stone Cold by fighting for that pain!
01:22:41Stone Cold is desperate.
01:22:42Right hand by the champion misses.
01:22:44Jericho as well.
01:22:45Big knocked out!
01:22:45Right on Austin!
01:22:46He may have him!
01:22:47Wait a minute!
01:22:48Austin!
01:22:48Austin's got the ropes!
01:22:50Austin's got the ropes!
01:22:52Damn it!
01:22:53Austin had the ropes!
01:22:54You gotta love it, baby!
01:22:55Here is your runner and still World Wrestling Federation champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin!
01:23:03Jericho can't believe it!
01:23:04Austin stole or Jericho didn't deserve this!
01:23:07What a valiant effort by Chris Jericho!
01:23:09That's the bottom line!
01:23:10Austin's still WWE Champion!
01:23:12What an impressive display of wrestling technique!
01:23:15Yeah, he was a WWE Champion because he cheated and he used the ropes and tags!
01:23:20You may be impressed with Austin, but these WWE fans in Denver and in my humble opinion,
01:23:24Kurt Angle was the superstar who was truly impressive tonight!
01:23:28Angle defeating Canyon and he did it fair and square!
01:23:32Ha! We don't play fair, we play to win!
