00:00:01Yes, sir, we promised you a great man here tonight.
00:00:04The last year, Andre, the child of WrestleMania.
00:00:07Walk-a-mania is running wild.
00:00:09My God, what a rock!
00:00:10Who does the man?
00:00:14It's not over.
00:00:15The world is watching.
00:00:52Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome one half of the world as he's champion at the WWE.
00:00:59WWE Champion, John Cena.
00:01:03And we welcome you, ladies and gentlemen, to Monday Night Raw.
00:01:07Jim Ross and Jerry the King, all right, ringside.
00:01:10And indeed, the champion is still here.
00:01:12After one of the most stimulating, stimulating contest king that others have talked about today,
00:01:20has seen in many, many years.
00:01:23Amazing match this young man and Shawn Michaels put on at WrestleMania.
00:01:28Quite honestly, JR, I'm surprised this man is able to walk out here into the ring,
00:01:33but he is proving to the world.
00:01:35He is still the champ, and the champ is here.
00:01:38Cena got Piledriver on the steel steps last night.
00:01:42His knee was assaulted.
00:01:44I think that's the point you lost your voice on the Piledriver that John Cena got on the steel steps.
00:01:49Let's go!
00:01:57Absolutely no my gosh!
00:01:59Go, go, go!ưởng!
00:02:46The champ is here.
00:02:56Uh-oh.
00:02:58And the champ, apparently, isn't gonna be here alone.
00:03:05It's HBK!
00:03:09John Cena's adversary in the classic WWE Championship match at WrestleMania.
00:03:16Indeed, a member of DX is Shawn Michaels.
00:03:21And these two men, Michaels and Cena, have played.
00:03:24And we're on a clinic camp in front of over 80,000 fans.
00:03:29A Ford Field record last night at WrestleMania 23.
00:03:33And like you, I am amazed that both men are here, really, ready, willing to compete.
00:03:40I don't know if they're able.
00:03:42One of the most amazing wrestling matches that I have ever witnessed.
00:03:53They had nothing left when the match ended last night.
00:03:57Nothing.
00:03:58They had entered their souls.
00:04:00They have stripped themselves physically.
00:04:02There was nothing left.
00:04:06The champ is here.
00:04:13And so he is.
00:04:21This is like reliving a bad dream.
00:04:27Well, champ, this is usually the time, the day after WrestleMania,
00:04:34where I come out here, talk about the awesome match we had.
00:04:45And how, once again, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels, the showstopper,
00:04:54and his opponent, made history.
00:05:01You see, John, you know, about our match.
00:05:14Our match, it wasn't about screw jobs.
00:05:17It wasn't about mind games.
00:05:19It wasn't about massive egos, brother.
00:05:24It wasn't about who got cheered and who got booed.
00:05:30And it sure as heck wasn't about a handshake to show good sportsmanship.
00:05:37No, it was a match about winning and losing.
00:05:43You won, and I lost.
00:05:55And I don't like it.
00:06:02I am sick and tired of having to come out here.
00:06:07Look guys in the eye, extend my hand to them, and lie to myself and tell them they were the
00:06:18better man.
00:06:24That ends tonight.
00:06:27Not again.
00:06:31John Cena, you may have won last night, but you are not the better man.
00:06:45Pretty succinct.
00:06:47Extremely heavy.
00:07:00You want to get angry, that's fine.
00:07:02But you want to question my manhood?
00:07:05That sounds like a challenge.
00:07:07My answer to you, anytime, anyplace.
00:07:21Well, currently, I'm not busy.
00:07:28Uh oh.
00:07:32And Dayton, Ohio, I got nowhere else to be.
00:07:36So, anyplace.
00:07:41Right here.
00:07:43Right now.
00:07:44Let's do it.
00:07:48It's all about the WWE title, but there's John the Coachman.
00:08:02As per Mr. McMahon, the WWE Championship will not be defended here tonight.
00:08:14You two seem to be forgetting something.
00:08:18You are the World Tag Team Champions, despite all your differences.
00:08:26So, you will defend those titles here tonight.
00:08:30Hey.
00:08:31But, you see, here's the twist.
00:08:42Here's the twist, guys.
00:08:44I was able to contact all the other brands.
00:08:47And I've personally arranged for you two to compete against not one team, not two teams, not even five.
00:08:59Tonight, you two will compete in a ten team.
00:09:05Ten teams?
00:09:07What?
00:09:08Twenty-man, over-the-top rope battle.
00:09:12Royal!
00:09:15Whoa!
00:09:18Your tag team titles will be on the line.
00:09:22And, gentlemen, one more thing.
00:09:25That match begins right now.
00:09:32Well, obviously, all brands to be represented.
00:09:37King Booker!
00:09:38Our first team to challenge Cena and Michaels, King Booker and Finley, representing Friday Night SmackDown, obviously.
00:09:48Both of these guys gotta be in a foul mood.
00:09:50Neither one of them could be happy after not winning that Honey in the Bank ladder match last night at
00:09:54WrestleMania.
00:09:55Look at these guys.
00:09:56They wanted to go one-on-one against each other, Shawn Michaels and John Cena.
00:10:00And, instead, they're gonna be forced to be partners and defend their tag team titles.
00:10:08What?
00:10:09Look at this!
00:10:13Well, team number two of ten teams will be representing ECW.
00:10:19Oh, my God!
00:10:20Robin, Dem, and Sabu.
00:10:22Eight more teams to come.
00:10:23World tag team titles on the line.
00:10:26A ten team battle royal.
00:10:28It's next!
00:10:32Man!
00:10:32We are back live here on Monday Night Raw.
00:10:35And this is an amazing attraction you're seeing here.
00:10:39It is a ten team tag team battle royal for the tag team titles.
00:10:46And Kenny Daxter, who was teaming with Chris Masters, I think has been eliminated.
00:10:50And that means Masters is eliminated as well, because if any one member of a team gets thrown over the
00:10:56top rope out onto the floor, both members are eliminated.
00:10:59And let's not forget that Shawn Michaels and John Cena's world tag team titles are at stake.
00:11:04Well, we haven't even had a chance to identify all of the teams.
00:11:08Look at that.
00:11:08The referee has explained to Masters, you gotta go even though you weren't thrown over.
00:11:12Your partner was.
00:11:13We got crime time in the ring.
00:11:15We got Elijah Burke and Matt Stryker.
00:11:17There's Deuce and Domino from SmackDown.
00:11:20The Highlanders are in there.
00:11:22Hex on Jim Duggan and Eugene.
00:11:24Chavo Guerrero with Gregory Helms.
00:11:27Oh, man.
00:11:29Masters and Dykstra, they've been eliminated.
00:11:33Of course, Booker T and Finley partners.
00:11:35And the ECW originals Rob Van Dam and Sabu are partners as well.
00:11:40But what this is all about is the tag team champions Shawn Michaels and John Cena.
00:11:46There goes crime time.
00:11:49So crime time with JTG being eliminated.
00:11:52Chad's gotta go.
00:11:55Crime time out of the contention.
00:11:57And this is for the world tag team titles.
00:12:00Ordered by Mr. McMahon, who cannot be in a good mood today after WrestleMania.
00:12:04Well, obviously, he didn't wanna show his, well, his chrome dome or his bald head out here.
00:12:10So he sent Jonathan Coachman.
00:12:12I can assure you a lot of people are gonna suffer the wrath of Mr. McMahon.
00:12:15He's gotta be in a horribly foul mood.
00:12:18Let's not take this Mr. McMahon chrome dome thing too far.
00:12:21I didn't say that, did I?
00:12:23I don't remember you that.
00:12:24I didn't say it out loud, did I?
00:12:26I think he might have.
00:12:27Shawn Michaels got hit in the back.
00:12:29And Michaels back to the pounding as did every other fiber of his being last night at WrestleMania.
00:12:35Michaels and Cena.
00:12:37I'm having trouble even seeing Shawn Michaels and John Cena in there.
00:12:41But that's what this is all about.
00:12:43Mr. McMahon, I'm sure would love to see these two guys lose the tag team title.
00:12:48Look out, Eugene.
00:12:49Eugene's gone.
00:12:50And so Hacksaw, Tim Duncan will be leaving as well.
00:12:55Hacksaw trying to still deliver and push out a little more punishment.
00:12:58But the referee's gonna tell him he's gonna have to leave too.
00:13:00There's Shawn Michaels.
00:13:02Picked up with King Booker over there.
00:13:04Jeffrey Jack Patton trying to convince Duggan he's gotta go.
00:13:07Sitting to FedEx.
00:13:09Duggan and Eugene have been eliminated.
00:13:11Ten teams started this match.
00:13:14Again, watered by Mr. McMahon.
00:13:17Nice shot there from Shawn Michaels.
00:13:21There's John Cena.
00:13:24John Cena and Domino of the Deuce and Domino Tag Team from Friday Night SmackDown.
00:13:29Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:13:32Elijah Bird and Matt Stark are partners.
00:13:34Certainly two of the new breed of UCW.
00:13:39Hey!
00:13:40Deuce and Domino's still alive momentarily, but the Highlander.
00:13:43Look out here.
00:13:44And that's Deuce.
00:13:46And look at Deuce.
00:13:48They're eliminating Rory.
00:13:50So Rory and Robbie, the Highlanders, will go to the showers.
00:13:55Let's do some Domino pretty impressive.
00:13:56They've eliminated, I think, about three teams already.
00:14:00And there's Finley, and you know he loves to fight.
00:14:04Finley and the Money in the Back ladder match last night.
00:14:06Shawn Michaels about to go, JR!
00:14:07And Michaels has eliminated.
00:14:09He and Cena will both be out, and we will be guaranteed the crown new world tag champions tonight.
00:14:16Well, Elijah Bird and Matt Stryker thought they had HBK show stopped.
00:14:22But somehow Shawn Michaels is still standing.
00:14:26I find it extremely difficult to believe that John Cena and Shawn Michaels can be successful in this environment.
00:14:33Well, they gotta be feeling today about like the voice sounds they are.
00:14:39Michaels and Cena.
00:14:41Wow, what a shot from John Cena.
00:14:43Watch out!
00:14:45Cena, FU!
00:14:48Do some Domino.
00:14:49Well, they've got to nostalgia in the 50s.
00:14:53And they're together again.
00:14:55Uh-oh.
00:14:56And Finley with a crushing ball on WWE Champion John Cena.
00:15:01Cena and Michaels started.
00:15:02Whoa!
00:15:03Well, the new breed will not be the World Tag Team Champions tonight.
00:15:09How many teams we got left in there, JR?
00:15:11Finley and King Booker.
00:15:13Yes.
00:15:13Rob Van Damme is still left there with Sabu.
00:15:16Absolutely.
00:15:17Is Elijah Burt still alive in this thing?
00:15:20Burt's gone.
00:15:21There goes Rob Van Damme and that means Sabu's history as well.
00:15:24Sabu can say goodnight.
00:15:28And, well, Finley's gonna make sure.
00:15:30I'm not kidding.
00:15:31So we have, we're down to two teams.
00:15:36High-flying moans are very dangerous to the Battle Royal as you can see there, JR.
00:15:40Yeah, especially turning your back on your opponents.
00:15:42Van Damme took a calculated risk and did not pay off.
00:15:45Man, what a clothesline by Finley.
00:15:47You know, Finley came within a pair of winning that Money in the Bank ladder match last night at WrestleMania.
00:15:54And Booker T, one of the most decorated champions in the history of the business.
00:16:00This is so amazing to me, a few minutes ago, these thousands of sold out crowd was booing John Cena.
00:16:06Now they're chanting his name, wanting him to win and retain the tag titles.
00:16:10John Cena in trouble here.
00:16:11Knuckles on the canvas.
00:16:13No.
00:16:13But Cena teetering, remember, you gotta be thrown over the top rope.
00:16:16Both feet must touch the floor.
00:16:18If that occurs, you and your partner will be eliminated.
00:16:21Well, John Cena left a piece of his scalp at the top of his head in Detroit last night at
00:16:26Ford Field.
00:16:27He was- Look out!
00:16:29He was pounding on those steel steps.
00:16:31Look out, here it goes.
00:16:32I tell you what this would be, I don't know how big a miracle, but I never expected Cena and
00:16:38Michaels to survive this 10-team battle.
00:16:40Well, there's- They haven't survived.
00:16:42Look out.
00:16:42Cena doing everything he can to eliminate Finley, but Finley-
00:16:47They did it!
00:16:48Swing to music wins it for Cena and Michaels.
00:16:52Man!
00:16:52Here are your winners and still the World Tag Team Champions,
00:16:59The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels and John Cena!
00:17:05Well, it took Cena and Michaels working together- Hold up, hold up, hold up!
00:17:10What?
00:17:11That was-
00:17:16Cena, Shawn, congratulations, guys.
00:17:20You were just victorious in part one of your title defense.
00:17:28Part one?
00:17:29You see, I had a feeling that this might happen.
00:17:33So I arranged for a second 10-team battle royal!
00:17:40Good grief!
00:17:4110 more teams?
00:17:42Where are they gonna come from?
00:17:43And that, too, that, too, begins right now.
00:17:49You gotta be kidding me!
00:17:52Well, the fans may be excited about seeing Matt and Jeff Hardy,
00:17:58who survived the Money in the Bank ladder match, but Cena-
00:18:05And Michaels will not be, and nine more teams to come!
00:18:08This is unbelievable!
00:18:11How can the Tag Team Champions survive?
00:18:13I don't see it!
00:18:14I don't see it happening!
00:18:16We are back, and we are live, and our second 10-team battle royal for the
00:18:22World Tag Team Champions is just about to get underway.
00:18:27Michaels and Cena, the rating tag champions, have went through one battle royal of 10 teams.
00:18:32Look at this!
00:18:33And now another.
00:18:34Mr. McMahon has, he hasn't been dead.
00:18:37Oh, you're right!
00:18:38Hell knows no fury like the wrath of a man sheared!
00:18:43And look at this!
00:18:44Big Viscera is teaming in this match with Val Venus, and everybody is out to try to get the
00:18:49big man out, because he's got a distinct advantage!
00:18:53Brian Kendrick and Paul Levin and the last team man from Friday Night Smackdown certainly
00:18:57have met a huge name for themselves in the tag team.
00:19:00Look who all's in there!
00:19:01There's Lance Caden, Trevor Murdoch, Val Venus, and Viscera.
00:19:04There's Marcus Corban and Kevin Thorne, Chavo Guerrero, Gregory Helms.
00:19:12Hey, look, look!
00:19:13I think they just figured out that Val Venus may be easier to get out, and they did eliminate
00:19:17than Viscera was.
00:19:18So Val Venus, because Val Venus has been eliminated, therefore his partner is also out of the competition.
00:19:25Remember, it's an over-the-top battle royal.
00:19:28To be eliminated, both feet must touch the pool.
00:19:30But when one man is eliminated, so is his partner, as you're seeing this for now, leave the competition.
00:19:39There's Johnny Nitro teaming with Miz in there, and from ECW, Tommy Dreamer and Sandman are in this thing.
00:19:47Two of the original ECW members, Dreamer and Sandman.
00:19:51Brian Kendrick, Paul London.
00:19:54This is Brian Kendrick and Paul London.
00:19:56Did you see the new WWE Magazine yearbook special?
00:19:59It said that they're the longest reigning champs in 18 years, Kendrick and London.
00:20:03They're a great young team, and I really have a lot of respect for Kendrick and London.
00:20:07Remind me of the Rock and Roll Express back in the early days.
00:20:11And William Regal has been eliminated.
00:20:13Therefore, Dave Taylor's passport.
00:20:18Regal has been eliminated.
00:20:19I didn't see what happened to Regal.
00:20:20Shawn Michaels almost got tapped out.
00:20:22Right, here we go.
00:20:23There's how Steve Regal was eliminated.
00:20:26That will be William Regal to you.
00:20:28What was I calling him?
00:20:29And his partner, Dave Taylor, his passport.
00:20:34Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:20:36John Cena in trouble again over here.
00:20:38Cena, Cena being hammered in.
00:20:41Cena teetering on the top rope at the hands of Gregory Hills and Chava Guerrero.
00:20:47But Cena fights his way out of the predicament.
00:20:50Tommy Dreamer, who told me yesterday had waited 17 years to be in the WrestleMania.
00:20:56There you go, Tommy Dreamer.
00:21:00The
00:21:00Well we have new tag team champions.
00:21:04Can Michaels and Cena.
00:21:06Hey, wait.
00:21:09Hey, hey.
00:21:09Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:21:10Shawn Michaels is almost out.
00:21:13He's over the top rope, but his feet have not touched the floor.
00:21:16He's back in.
00:21:17Can Michaels and Cena survive this?
00:21:23man i'll tell you what this is chaotic and uh the 10 team battle royal for the world tag team
00:21:28championship everybody has their sights set on sean michaels and john cena somehow john cena
00:21:34sean michaels survived the first uh what we thought we're the only 10 team battle royal
00:21:40here tonight cena's about to cena may not survive this one it looks like he's just about to go at
00:21:45the hands of miz of all people and uh who's that johnny nitro yes john cena sean michaels i don't
00:21:53know how they're even how they can even they would dress to compete why they even dress to compete
00:22:02michaels has carried the most of the water for the team tonight quite frankly between cena and michaels
00:22:08and uh the miz and the nitro are eliminated yeah look at these two guys sean michaels oh no
00:22:15what is this michaels just illuminated his own tag team partner and that means with a dx shot to boot
00:22:24and that means we are guaranteed to have new world tag team champions grab here tonight
00:22:30they are the tag team titles are lost i can't i can't believe it michaels eliminated his own partner
00:22:37we're going to see the speed test before no matter who puts tina out cina's eliminated
00:22:42that means sean michaels is eliminated what is sean michaels thinking
00:22:47he said what did he say what go that's how it's gonna be
00:22:57it's all about the ww title as far as sean michaels is concerned quite obviously but the other big story
00:23:04here is that we're guaranteed tonight oh a lot of very innovative moves yeah one of these surviving
00:23:10teams in this battle royal are going to be our new tag team champions we've got chavo guerrero and
00:23:16gregory helms still alive in there the hardys are both still alive lance k trevor murdoch are still in
00:23:44the hardys will be the new world's high team champions here tonight and the hardys were in that
00:23:49eight-man water match at wrestlemania 24 hours ago he's both matt and jeff were literally beat to
00:23:56pumps i remember jeff hardy said that he was going to steal the show last night with that that giant
00:24:02leap
00:24:03off of that 12 foot ladder he did i don't know how he survived it look at this jeff hardy
00:24:09reaching down
00:24:10hammering away at lance k but that's not a smart place to be leaving yourself vulnerable to hijack
00:24:16absolutely we saw that earlier when rob bandana was on the top turnbuckle got eliminated and now the
00:24:22hardy brothers working together they were opponents last night even though there are times in the eight
00:24:27man when the bank ladder match that mr kennedy won't get him that's you're right that's kidding i know
00:24:34kennedy is with you mr money in the bank oh and means that he's going to have mr kennedy was
00:24:41got that
00:24:42contract that he could get a shot at the any title any time he wants it within the next 12
00:24:47months he
00:24:48calls the shot oh oh it's by the atomic drop and look at the double team kennedy may have this
00:24:55side set on individual goals but one of these two teams tonight are going to leave monday night
00:25:00raw the new world well i'm going to tell you something trevor murdoch and lance kate these guys
00:25:08are for real they just not kicked a sentence out of jeff hardy there i like kate murdoch they got
00:25:14a
00:25:14great upside and we know what we have in the hardys they've been multiple time tag champions in the past
00:25:20and jeff hardy if he's a little and there's max man hardy leaping into the frame flying into your
00:25:26your living room there look out matt you got to be careful you almost eliminated your own brother
00:25:31oh nice close line by matt hardy i don't know how the hardys look at this
00:25:37yeah that's great inside the ring but you got to get him outside over the top rope
00:25:42the longer this match goes you've got to think that kate murdoch can fight their way back in it
00:25:48the longer the match goes i don't know about this
00:25:55the hardys they're flying with a hard risk indeed caution to the wind man and jeff hardy never saw a
00:26:04chance they wouldn't want to try on jr i'm i i'm almost speechless i still can't believe that we
00:26:10saw oh look out here murdoch murdoch murdoch has eliminated the hardys of the new tag team champions
00:26:18look at murdoch hanging on like a spider monkey and how amazing would that 24 hour period be for the
00:26:24hardys if they were to happen i was gonna say i still can't believe we saw sean michaels eliminated
00:26:32partner john cena cost them the tag team titles
00:26:38whoa whoa watch it watch it murdoch
00:26:41k's very close to be eliminated murdoch but one step away from being eliminated
00:26:46on that ring apron uh k double i should say and now murdoch
00:26:53man nice move nice and tilly by murdoch landing on a ring acry
00:26:59is it over yes it's over
00:27:06look at this
00:27:08oh wait right now that's over
00:27:14here are your winners and the new world tag team champions
00:27:22I can't believe what we have just seen.
00:27:26John Cena, Shawn Michaels no longer the champs, and the new champs are the Hardys.
00:27:32What a 24-hour period for Matt and Jeff Hardy.
00:27:36The brothers from Canberra, North Carolina, have won the World Tag Team titles.
00:27:42Matt representing Friday Night Smackdown.
00:27:44Jeff representing Monday Night Raw.
00:27:47Lance Cade went under the bottom rope.
00:27:51This is what I want to see one more time.
00:27:53Shawn Michaels had just saved John Cena with this happen.
00:27:57Look!
00:27:59And after everything Michaels and Cena had endured.
00:28:04Right, you see there.
00:28:05Lance Cade was only kicked under the rope.
00:28:08We thought that was it, but this truly wasn't the end.
00:28:10Murda kicked off the top rope, over the rope, onto the floor.
00:28:14The Hardys are the champs.
00:28:17Money in the bank, 24 hours of gold.
00:28:20Gold in hand tonight.
00:28:23Matt and Jeff Hardy, the new World Tag Team Champions.
00:28:26This is amazing, JR.
00:28:28Amazing.
00:28:30Indeed, ladies and gentlemen, last night at WrestleMania, before over 80,000 fans setting a new Ford Field record, one
00:28:37of the most amazing events I have ever had the privilege to be a part of.
00:28:40And we want to thank you fans for making it so special.
00:28:44Whether you watched it at home or you were there, thank you for being a part of it.
00:28:47And I want to thank my main men from Memphis, Saliva, for supplying the official theme song of WrestleMania 23,
00:28:54ladies and gentlemen.
00:28:56And that CD, by the way, is available right now.
00:28:58And JR, speaking of music, you know there were celebrities galore at WrestleMania 23.
00:29:02We've got celebs in the house tonight.
00:29:04Look at that.
00:29:04It's Timbaland.
00:29:05Timbaland, one of the hottest music producers and recording artists around.
00:29:09He's got a highly anticipated album called Shot Value that releases tomorrow.
00:29:13And it's featured on John, Justin Timberlake, Nelly Piccato, and more.
00:29:18Hey, Timbaland.
00:29:20I'm standing by with Shawn Michaels, and the obvious question on everyone's mind right now is why did you purposely
00:29:28eliminate your own tag team partner, John Cena?
00:29:31Todd Grisham, you have to understand the tag team championships were only confusing John Cena and muddy in the waters.
00:29:38I want him to understand that I have one goal and one goal only, and that is the WWE Championship.
00:29:43You had your chance, HBK.
00:29:46You had your chance last night, and you blew it.
00:29:50The only reason that John Cena's given you another chance, another shot at that WWE title, is because he knows
00:29:56that he can beat you.
00:29:58And if one thing is for sure, John Cena cannot beat me.
00:30:06Randy Orton, I'm gonna tell you like I told John Cena.
00:30:09He's not the better man, and boy, neither are you.
00:30:16Well, I guess, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
00:30:20Now, won't we?
00:30:29The WWE Championship, and I apologize to my voice in person, the WWE title becoming the hot commodity that it's
00:30:36always been.
00:30:36We've seen Michaels and Cena in flow tonight.
00:30:39Their new tag team champions are the Hardys.
00:30:41Now, Randy Orton throwing his hat in the ring, the king, last night.
00:30:44Yeah, what about WrestleMania last night?
00:30:46I mean, more fans at WrestleMania 23 than were at Super Bowl 40 in that exact same building.
00:30:51It was unbelievable.
00:30:52It had it all.
00:30:53It was the most emotional, exciting WrestleMania I've ever seen in my life.
00:30:57Over 80,000 fans breaking a Ford Field record.
00:30:59Let's take a look.

00:46:49My God, Lily, cover yourself.
00:46:52Bobby Lashley gives Mr. McMahon even more reason to despise the ECW champion.
00:47:02And now the WWE Slam of the Week is brought to you by Skyrim.
00:47:06Share the rainbow, taste the rainbow.
00:47:09WrestleMania special bonus match.
00:47:12A Lumberjack tag team matchup.
00:47:14Ric Flair and his protege Carlito against Chavo Guerrero and Gregory Helm.
00:47:19And Carlito, knees to the back.
00:47:22Carlito into the cover.
00:47:23Carlito and Flair kicking off WrestleMania with a bang.
00:47:30Woo!
00:47:31Woo!
00:47:34And we are back live here on Monday Night Raw.
00:47:37Jim Ross and Jerry the King Lawler.
00:47:39And here comes, I think, a phenomenal tag team.
00:47:43Isn't it? Woo!
00:47:44Can only be one man.
00:47:46The nature!
00:47:49The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:47:53Making their way to the ring.
00:47:54Weighing in at a combined 481 pounds.
00:47:58Carlito and the Nature Boy, Ric Flair!
00:48:03Ric Flair has become a great mentor for Carlito.
00:48:06Ric Flair has motivated Carlito and shared the Nature Boy's unmitigated passion with the second generation star, Carlito.
00:48:14We saw that last night.
00:48:15Well, actually, before WrestleMania started, there was a WrestleMania bonus match.
00:48:20Ric Flair and Carlito teamed up and won and looked quite impressive.
00:48:24As you said, it seems like every day, Carlito is getting more and more like Flair as far as that
00:48:30passion is concerned.
00:48:32And making their way to the ring in a combined 490 pounds.
00:48:37Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, the world's greatest tag team.
00:48:42Todd Grisham standing in, I should say.
00:48:45I'm trying to say.
00:48:46For Lilia Garcia, who was a...
00:48:48She had a wardrobe malfunction.
00:48:51Todd Grisham doesn't look nearly as good without a skirt.
00:48:53Mr. McMahon looking literally king for any twerks in the storm.
00:48:57Here when Bobby Lashley exposed Mr. McMahon's, well, his bald head.
00:49:03Well, I'm gonna tell you something.
00:49:04There may be a storm we're about to brew right here.
00:49:07The world's greatest tag team, Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin.
00:49:11These two young guys are gonna give Carlito and the Nature Boy everything they can bargain for.
00:49:18They're not called the world's greatest tag team for nothing, J.R.
00:49:21I understand that.
00:49:23Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy, the Hardy brothers, the new world tag team champions.
00:49:27Michaels and Cena imploding tonight.
00:49:30Yeah, get out!
00:49:31Nice takedown, the clothesline, Lariat by Shelton Benjamin.
00:49:35Yeah, we're talking about tag teams, two great tag teams in this match.
00:49:38But earlier tonight, I can't believe we saw, as he said, our tag team champs implode.
00:49:44John Cena and Shawn Michaels breaking up.
00:49:46No longer tag team champions.
00:49:47We got new champions, the Hardys.
00:49:55Carlito in a bad place in this ring.
00:49:58Well, you're right, Shelton Benjamin talking a little smack.
00:50:00And that's what one of the world's greatest tag team are pretty much known to do.
00:50:05Carlito can talk smack and hand it out with the best of them.
00:50:09Look at that nice knee lift there.
00:50:13Clothesline by Carlito.
00:50:14From the left side and a big left hand.
00:50:16And Charlie Haas.
00:50:18Oh, what a kick.
00:50:20What a kick by Benjamin.
00:50:22You know, one of the reasons that Ric Flair, I mean Ric Flair expects so much out of Carlito.
00:50:27Because, let's face it, Carlito's a second generation superstar.
00:50:31His dad, Carlos Colon, great superstar in his own right.
00:50:33And now, Carlito comes along and, I don't know, I think Flair felt that Carlito was just sort of resting
00:50:39on his laurels.
00:50:40Not showing that passion that he needed to be successful.
00:50:43Quite frankly, Carlito was not motivated before Ric Flair got in Carlito's head.
00:50:47Oh, my goodness.
00:50:49That'll motivate you.
00:50:50What an athletic move by Charlie Haas.
00:50:52Man, that was like a hunt.
00:50:55Right to the side of Carlito's head.
00:50:56Carlito's on Green Street right now.
00:50:59Right and left by Haas and another knock down of Carlito.
00:51:02And the lovely Tori Wilson at ringside here.
00:51:04A little concerned about Carlito right now.
00:51:07Tori a lumberjill at WrestleMania.
00:51:09Yes, she was, along with a lot of former Playboy cover girls.
00:51:15And, of course, Ashley in that match, our current Playboy cover girl.
00:51:19But she was not victorious.
00:51:20Against Molina.
00:51:23Carlito really needs to make a tag.
00:51:25We haven't seen Nate in this ring yet.
00:51:28I'm sure he'll light somebody up when he gets in there, if he gets in there.
00:51:32Oh, my goodness.
00:51:35JR, this is a smart strategy by the world's greatest tag team.
00:51:37Whoa.
00:51:38If they can keep Carlito isolated, keep him in the ring,
00:51:42they'd love to win this thing without the Nature Boy ever getting a tag.
00:51:45And that could happen.
00:51:48Tori trying to get this crowd involved in motivating Carlito even more.
00:51:52Yeah, I'm getting motivated just watching Tori.
00:51:55Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:51:56Easy.
00:52:01I'm just cheering for Carlito.
00:52:05Benjamin looking at his corner.
00:52:07Expect a tag.
00:52:09Big right hand misses the clothesline.
00:52:11Look at Carlito.
00:52:12He's got a nice elbow.
00:52:14Springboard elbow by Carlito.
00:52:16Now Carlito tries this.
00:52:18He needs to try to make a tag in the worst way here.
00:52:22Manu Mbaga getting a second chance at Bobby Lashley tonight.
00:52:26Oh, that is gonna be huge.
00:52:27Mr. McMahon.
00:52:28And ultimately bears what we saw.
00:52:30And here's the Nature Boy.
00:52:31Light him up, Rick.
00:52:33Oh, man.
00:52:34Rick Flair's electric company lighting up the world's greatest tag team.
00:52:40Oh, my goodness.
00:52:41Flair is full of himself.
00:52:42Look at him go.
00:52:45Good.
00:52:46Oh, I hate to be able to receive it into those Flair chops.
00:52:51Benjamin reverses Flair.
00:52:52Uh-oh.
00:52:53That could go.
00:52:54High elevation.
00:52:55That'll slow down, Rick.
00:52:57Nate.
00:52:58Cheap shot on Carlito.
00:53:00Make sure he's not there for the tag.
00:53:02Man.
00:53:02And Flair.
00:53:02What are you doing?
00:53:04Come on.
00:53:04This is not gonna be good.
00:53:05This is not gonna be good at all for Flair.
00:53:08Hey.
00:53:08What?
00:53:08And Carlito saw it.
00:53:10Carlito intervening.
00:53:11Ooh.
00:53:12And a chop block on Haas.
00:53:14Come on.
00:53:14Get out of here.
00:53:14That's great teamwork by Carlito.
00:53:17Saving Rick Flair's backside.
00:53:19And now Flair can get the line.
00:53:21Woo.
00:53:21You heard him.
00:53:23Here comes the Nates and JR.
00:53:25What do you think we're gonna see here?
00:53:27That patented, flaunted figure, foreign leg lock by Nate Jamar.
00:53:32Oh, Rick Flair.
00:53:33Flair has taken Charlie Haas to school.
00:53:35And Haas is tapping it out.
00:53:37How many superstars, how many wrestlers over the years have tapped out?
00:53:42Carlito and the Nature Boy, Rick Flair.
00:53:48Well, King, last night Shawn Michaels had no choice but to tap out to John Cena at WrestleMania.
00:53:55And, well, Rick Flair just making the world's greatest or one half of the world's greatest tag team tap out.
00:54:02You gotta give them credit, man.
00:54:04This is a hot tag team.
00:54:06Nature Boy and Carlito really looking good.
00:54:08Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind, anybody else that's watching, Rick Flair will be in the Hall of Fame
00:54:12someday in the WWE.
00:54:14And my voice is still at the Hall of Fame, I think, on Saturday.
00:54:17It sounds like somebody pulling their fingernails down a chalkboard, JR, but talk about the Hall of Fame.
00:54:22Let me tell you something.
00:54:23Can we take a little quick look at what made mine and your WrestleMania weekend so very, very special?
00:54:29The WWE Hall of Fame, the class of 2007.
00:54:34This guy right here, congratulations.
00:54:38Welcome to the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
00:54:44Tonight, we honor the class of 2007.
00:54:49These are the individuals who have paved the way for the WWE superstars of today and of tomorrow.
00:54:59Bondi!
00:55:03Tonight is the Hall of Fame and I'm calling it like it is.
00:55:05I'm calling it like I see it and calling it like I believe it.
00:55:07Jim Ross is one of the greatest announcers of all time.
00:55:11The best of the best, Jim Ross.
00:55:15I may be as goofy as a pet coon, but I am passionate about this business.
00:55:20I love our business.
00:55:22This night will never leave my heart.
00:55:24Greens can come true.
00:55:27Mine just did.
00:55:29I thank you all very much.
00:55:31He had style, charisma, showmanship, the looks.
00:55:36I guess that's why you could call him perfect.
00:55:42Kurt was a man who captivated the public eye and gave them a level of entertainment they
00:55:51have never witnessed before.
00:55:55Nobody does it better.
00:55:58Nobody.
00:55:59And he was what he says he was.
00:56:02And that was absolutely perfect.
00:56:10Jerry the King Lawler.
00:56:14It is my honor to monkey flip you right into the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame.
00:56:22A lot of people wondered why Bill Shatner would be introducing or inducting Jerry the King Lawler.
00:56:27A lot of people don't realize we both book all our travel through Priceline.com.
00:56:34The number one subject of conversation backstage today has been, it's been actually Viagra.
00:56:40Good night, everybody.
00:56:42Good night, everybody.
00:56:42That's it for me.
00:56:44All my life I've wanted to be exactly like my dad.
00:56:48Your next inductee, the American Dream, he was the greatest talker in the history of this business.
00:57:04What an honor it is tonight to be inducted in this class of 2007 with such tremendous athlete.
00:57:14I am humbled by you all.
00:57:17Truly, tonight, I have wined and dined with kings and queens.
00:57:26This is your class of 2007.
00:57:42Well, that was a special moment, JR, but we're about to have some more special moments.
00:57:46Do you have your digital camera ready?
00:57:48Do you, JR?
00:57:50Because coming up next, we're gonna have, well, the WWE Women's Champion Molina in a special photo op.
00:57:58A photo op, JR!
00:58:00Camera, right over there for camera.
00:58:03We are back on Raw, and last night, WrestleMania 23, unbelievable.
00:58:09A new attendance record was set at Ford Field.
00:58:14Look at that.
00:58:1580,103 of our fabulous fans jammed in to see WrestleMania 23.
00:58:21And look at the press coverage.
00:58:22Coverage all over the world.
00:58:24Newspapers, radio, television.
00:58:26And I think Todd has a special guest.
00:58:29Todd!
00:58:31Ladies and gentlemen, joining me, Reside, is simply the hottest music producer in the world today.
00:58:37He's produced some names you may have heard of.
00:58:39Natalie Furtado, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, the Pussycat Dolls.
00:58:44Please welcome Timbaland.
00:58:47How you doing?
00:58:48Oh, I'm doing great.
00:58:52This guy knows his way around the microphone.
00:58:54Ah, yes, yes.
00:58:55I come here as a fan tonight.
00:58:57I don't come here as Timbaland tonight.
00:58:59What?
00:59:00I came to here.
00:59:01Woo!
00:59:03Woo!
00:59:04Woo!
00:59:05Can I get it again?
00:59:06Woo!
00:59:07Woo!
00:59:08Woo!
00:59:09That's right.
00:59:09I came to see Nature Boy because I am Ricky Bobby.
00:59:16Oh, I just came here to have fun, to see the main event.
00:59:21How many, are y'all wrestling fans like me?
00:59:26I mean, I just don't do music.
00:59:28I do wrestle too.
00:59:30I told them I was going to slam them later on tonight in the ring.
00:59:34What you got to say?
00:59:35Well, I understand you have a big album coming out tomorrow called Shock Value.
00:59:40It's huge.
00:59:40It's big.
00:59:41And also, you have your latest single coming out.
00:59:45It's called Throw It On Me.
00:59:46And you have a huge WWE influence on this video, correct?
00:59:49Yeah, I'm getting some of the divas to be in it.
00:59:53Oh!
00:59:54Woo!
00:59:54Really?
00:59:54Such as?
00:59:55Have you decided?
00:59:56I haven't decided.
00:59:57I'm looking at Ashley.
00:59:59Ashley looks real good.
01:00:01Woo!
01:00:02Well, I'll let her know.
01:00:03Ladies and gentlemen, the album comes out tomorrow, Shock Value.
01:00:06You don't have to be a rap fan, a hip-hop fan, a rock fan.
01:00:09It's just good music, correct?
01:00:10Great music.
01:00:11Just like great wrestling.
01:00:12Great music.
01:00:13Great wrestling.
01:00:14A great producer.
01:00:15Please give it up for Timbaland.
01:00:18All right.
01:00:21Uh-oh.
01:00:22Photo walk.
01:00:23I'm ready to give it up for a WWE Women's Timbalina.
01:00:29Oh, JR, she is looking good tonight.
01:00:34What are you doing?
01:00:36Is that a disposable camera you're catching?
01:00:38You don't have a new digital camera?
01:00:39What about a camera phone?
01:00:40You got a camera phone?
01:00:41I got a Polaroid back in the room.
01:00:46You got a good AT&T camera phone, man.
01:00:49Come on.
01:00:51Oh.
01:00:52Start snapping the pictures.
01:00:55Look at our lucky paparazzi.
01:01:01Camera ready.
01:01:03Camera!
01:01:03Oh!
01:01:07Get a shot of that.
01:01:13Wow.
01:01:17Well, that title of the women's champion says it all, JR.
01:01:29Timbaland, I am looking forward to starring in your new video.
01:01:33Because if your video is starring WWE divas, you are going to want the sexiest, most dominant diva in the
01:01:41WWE.
01:01:42Me.
01:01:44Woo-hoo, yeah.
01:01:47Last night, on the grandest stage of them all, I proved to the world that Ashley is nothing more than
01:01:57just another pretty face.
01:02:01And while posing for Playboy may be glamorous, it pales in comparison to being the women's champion.
01:02:10Take a picture.
01:02:12Get a shot of that.
01:02:13So, to commemorate my historic victory, I have arranged a special photo op for the paparazzi.
01:02:21Oh, it hasn't started yet?
01:02:24I've already taken about 24 shots here.
01:02:31Oh!
01:02:33Make the flashbangs go, JR.
01:02:35I can't find my camera.
01:02:38What?
01:02:38I can't find my camera.
01:02:40Did you take them?
01:02:42Oh, Molina, do your ring entrance again.
01:02:45Oh, wait a minute!
01:02:46Nikki James!
01:02:46Nikki James!
01:02:47Nikki James!
01:02:48Hey, Nikki, you're spoiling the photo op!
01:02:52Nikki James, who was the WWE Women's Champion.
01:02:56My!
01:02:57Until Molina took it from her.
01:02:59Look out!
01:03:01No!
01:03:01Good freak!
01:03:03That's our Women's Champion!
01:03:04Nikki James has planted Molina head first into the back!
01:03:11Nikki said, take a picture of this!
01:03:14And look at him!
01:03:16The paparazzi are obliged to Nikki James!
01:03:19This turned out to be more of a photo op than Molina bargained for.
01:03:23I'm sure she's not going to like that picture.
01:03:26Molina's photo op became a disaster!
01:03:29Once she wakes up, she's not going to be happy.
01:03:33Well, look at this!
01:03:35Are you ready?
01:03:37Still to come tonight!
01:03:38As per ordered by Mr. McMahon, Bobby Lashley will have to defend the ECW World Championship against Umaga!
01:03:48That's still to come, JR!
01:03:49That's going to be a physical slumber knockover match with Umaga and Lashley!
01:03:54But, man, I was shocked at Nikki James!
01:03:57I mean, out of nowhere!
01:03:59Yeah, check out this!
01:04:00Man, this overshadowed DDT!
01:04:04For Molina!
01:04:07Oh, man!
01:04:12Well, we're back on Raw, JR, and...
01:04:17Oh!
01:04:19Here it comes!
01:04:24The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
01:04:28Introducing first, from India, weighing in at 420 pounds and over seven feet tall,
01:04:36The Great Khali!
01:04:39Seven foot three inches, to be exact!
01:04:43420 pounds of ugly!
01:04:46Oh, my gosh!
01:04:49Look at those teeth, JR!
01:04:51Woo-hoo!
01:04:52Let me just say, the Monday Night Raw is brought to you by Warner Brothers' new motion picture, The Repeat!
01:04:57It's in theaters Thursday, April 5th!
01:05:00And by fruity, delicious, delicious, fruity, fruity, fruity, Skittles!
01:05:06They are!
01:05:07They're fruity!
01:05:08And you love the Skittles, JR!
01:05:09I do love the Skittles!
01:05:10Well, this guy gets no love, and he deserves nothing!
01:05:13I am super!
01:05:14I am crazy!
01:05:15I am super crazy!
01:05:26Well, Lillian Garcia is back, fully clothed, unfortunately.
01:05:31But, I gotta say, the super crazy is here, and he's gotta be crazy to volunteer to face the great
01:05:37Khali!
01:05:38Amazing what we saw, Khali just pretty much manhandle Kane last night at WrestleMania.
01:05:43It really was, Kane, a 300-pounder.
01:05:48Look out here!
01:05:49The Missile Dropkick staggered at best, Khali.
01:05:54Maybe that is, uh-oh, super crazy, a little bit angry, but I can tell you from experience,
01:06:00you don't want to be in that position, or you don't want to feel that.
01:06:03That's like a sledgehammer coming down right in the middle of your forehead, JR.
01:06:07And the strength and the power that this great Khali possesses, it's superhuman!
01:06:13And then that slams it right down to the back of your head.
01:06:16You think you got a concussion, I know from experience.
01:06:20You just don't get up from that, unless he drags you up.
01:06:23It's like being repelled from a tree!
01:06:25One, two, three!
01:06:28And then that arrogant cover, he just stands on, look at this thing, JR.
01:06:33Here is your winner, the great Khali!
01:06:37Looks like he fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
01:06:41Don't tell him I said that.
01:06:43I don't think we're going to be talking anytime soon.
01:06:46Your secret's good with me.
01:06:48This guy is absolutely scary, monstrous.
01:06:54A freak of nature!
01:06:56And we mean that in the nicest way, Khali!
01:06:59You better say you mean it in a nice way.
01:07:01Check this out one more time.
01:07:02This huge shot to the head of Super Crazy, that was the beginning of the end.
01:07:07And then this is the end.
01:07:10When the great Khali slams the back of your head down onto the mat like that, it's all over.
01:07:18This guy is scary.
01:07:21I can't believe it.
01:07:24I just can't believe it.
01:07:26What the hell happened out there?
01:07:28Mr. McMahon, please take it easy, amigo.
01:07:31Calm down, it's okay.
01:07:33Shut up!
01:07:36You want me to take it easy.
01:07:39Please.
01:07:40Yeah.
01:07:41You want me to take it easy after what happened to me at WrestleMania?
01:07:45After what happened to me out there tonight?
01:07:48You want me to take it easy.
01:07:52You know how I'm going to take it?
01:08:01That's how I'm going to take it.
01:08:03Because guess what?
01:08:05Umaga just found himself a tag team partner.
01:08:09And that's you.
01:08:11Yeah.
01:08:12A handicap match.
01:08:14You and Umaga against Bobby Lashley.
01:08:19And you damn well better not fail me.
01:08:24Oh God.
01:08:27Take it easy.
01:08:29Yeah, I'll take it easy.
01:08:30Take it easy.
01:08:36Ah, we are back and earlier tonight here on Raw, our champions, our tag team champions, John Cena and Shawn
01:08:43Michaels were forced to defend their titles.
01:08:45Look at this.
01:08:46Shawn Michaels saved John Cena there in a tag team battle royal.
01:08:50I think, look here, I think Shawn said, look, I'm watching you back, don't worry.
01:08:53Well, he was watching John Cena's back, all right.
01:08:56Because from behind, Shawn Michaels throws John Cena over the top rope.
01:09:01Costing John Cena and Shawn Michaels.
01:09:03They're tag team times.
01:09:05John Cena could not believe it.
01:09:06But the tag team battle royal went on.
01:09:09And later on, there you see Trevor Murdoch eliminated and that gave the championships to the Hardys.
01:09:16Our new tag team champions, JR.
01:09:18Jeff and Matt Hardy.
01:09:20I'm standing here with Matt and Jeff Hardy and they are the new world tag team champions.
01:09:28You know, it's absolutely awesome to now be known as six-time tag team champions.
01:09:33Not a lot of teams can say that.
01:09:35That's something to be proud of.
01:09:38The last couple of years, man, we've had a lot of ups.
01:09:40We've had a lot of downs.
01:09:42The last couple of days, man, we've been beat up.
01:09:44But nothing could be more perfect than this moment.
01:09:47Because I'm standing here with my brother after winning the world tag team championships.
01:09:52Cheers, man.
01:09:54Thank you, man.
01:10:07This is a guy who can't be very happy at all.
01:10:14Jeff Hardy took Edge out of Money in the Bank.
01:10:17I'm shocked Edge is here tonight.
01:10:40Let me start off by saying that a lesser man would not be standing here tonight.
01:10:53It took every ounce of energy in my body to pull myself out of bed this morning.
01:11:01After the hell that I went through in the Money in the Bank ladder match last night at WrestleMania.
01:11:15But I think it might have made me a little punchy.
01:11:19I don't know if I'm comprehending everything properly.
01:11:21And maybe it was Jeff Hardy diving off a 15-foot ladder and driving my body through another ladder.
01:11:33Oh, you enjoyed that, did you?
01:11:35Yeah.
01:11:40Well, I think it caused me to not be thinking quite properly because I'm pretty sure I heard Shawn Michaels
01:11:48come out earlier tonight and demand and get granted another shot at the WWE Championship.
01:12:00That my former tag team partner Randy Orton wants a shot at the WWE Championship.
01:12:12And that John Cena is still the WWE Champion.
01:12:26You know, and I find this all pretty funny, I find it amusing.
01:12:31Because I know that Shawn Michaels is the same man who I've bashed over the head with a steel chair
01:12:37countless times.
01:12:49I know that Randy Orton is the same gullible egomaniac that I've outsmarted countless times.
01:13:02And I know that John Cena is a fighting champion and he's been through challenger after challenger.
01:13:10But I also know he's the same champion that I have beaten countless times.
01:13:26So they can call themselves the showstopper, the legend killer, the champ.
01:13:40Because I call myself the best.
01:13:53And all of you will be forced to call me the next WWE Champion.
01:14:09I don't know about you, J.R.
01:14:11I don't know about you, J.R., but it's making a believer out of me.
01:14:16Come on, there you see him.
01:14:19Now it's a handicap match.
01:14:21Two men against one for the ECW title, and it is next.
01:14:28Now we're back.
01:14:29And you don't want to miss a minute of next week's Raw because already Mick Foley has promised us a
01:14:35Make-A-Wish surprise.
01:14:37Can't wait to see what that is going to be about.
01:14:39And also next week, Shawn Michaels going one-on-one against Randy Orton in a number one contenders match.
01:14:46Next week, HBK and RKO.
01:14:50That's going to be great.
01:15:08This contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the ECW World Championship.
01:15:16Introducing the challenger from the Isle of Samoa, weighing in at 350 pounds.
01:15:21He is the Intercontinental Champion, Umaga.
01:15:27Well, J.R., we're being treated tonight to a WrestleMania rematch.
01:15:32That's a moment bulldoze.
01:15:33Well, I mean, there is a little bit different.
01:15:35Being accompanied by his partner, Armando Alejandro Estrada.
01:15:42Well, sort of his partner.
01:15:45Because, you see, Armando Estrada is going to be a participant in this match.
01:15:51The wrath of Mr. McMahon.
01:15:54Did you see when Mr. McMahon grabbed Estrada by the collar and said,
01:15:57You better not fail me.
01:15:59He was very emphatic.
01:16:00Very emphatic.
01:16:02And now Estrada is going to be in this handicap match as Umaga's partner.
01:16:06But trying to be in a handicap match, I can't think of a partner I'd rather have than Umaga.
01:16:12Well, maybe this next man.
01:16:18Oh yeah!
01:16:22And from Colorado Springs, Colorado, weighing in at 273 pounds, he is the ECW World Champion, Bobby Lashley!
01:16:40And he is the winner of the WrestleMania 23 Battle of the Billionaires match.
01:16:48Much to the Sucrean of Mr. McMahon.
01:16:52Lashley is very special.
01:16:54I like my voice.
01:16:56Right.
01:16:57Well, you know, that rattlesnake, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Darren Dampede,
01:17:02that there would be a bald billionaire last night at WrestleMania.
01:17:06And sure enough, we saw it earlier here tonight.
01:17:09More Mr. McMahon.
01:17:12Well, I'm sure he'll be joining the hair club for men.
01:17:17Look at Lashley.
01:17:18Look at that intensity.
01:17:28And the eyes of Bobby Lashley staring right into the eyes of Umaga.
01:17:33Whoa!
01:17:40Uh-oh.
01:17:45Umaga didn't even wait for Bobby Lashley to get into the ring.
01:17:48Look out here!
01:17:48Look out!
01:17:52Umaga wasting absolutely no time going Bobby Lashley head first into those steel stairs.
01:17:58And that put a smile on the face of Armando Estrada.
01:18:03And probably a smile as well on the face of Mr. McMahon.
01:18:08Umaga here wasting absolutely no time.
01:18:10He wants to make short work of Bobby Lashley.
01:18:14Umaga would love to take that ECW title who would just, by the way,
01:18:18just now being taken off the waist of Bobby Lashley.
01:18:21He'd love to take that back to Samoa with him or wherever he'd come from.
01:18:27Samoan Bulldogs.
01:18:28Now, does Estrada get to tag in or out or does he get to just stay in the ring at
01:18:32all times?
01:18:38Uh-oh.
01:18:39Here comes some offense from Bobby Lashley.
01:18:42My gosh!
01:18:44Look out!
01:18:47Man, I thought we were gonna get to see Estrada get his, but
01:18:50that left the backside of Bobby Lashley exposed for Umaga to once again take charge.
01:18:57And these big, these big clubbing blows from, oh my gosh!
01:19:03The chops from the Samoan Bulldozer are absolutely unbelievable.
01:19:07Look at Estrada over there.
01:19:08Just, now directing traffic there.
01:19:14Hey, hey, hey!
01:19:15Going for a sunset flip, but it's gonna take a lot of strength.
01:19:18One, two, three, two, one!
01:19:21Oh my gosh!
01:19:23And a little, here, one, two, three!
01:19:24Nope!
01:19:25A two count.
01:19:27Man, a little help from Estrada, and that enabled the Samoan Bulldozer.
01:19:31And of course, Estrada is one of the legal participants in this match.
01:19:35He is, he is Umaga's partner.
01:19:38It's a handicap match.
01:19:41So it's legal for Estrada to be in the ring, and now that huge knee and leg across the throat
01:19:47of Bobby Lashley, gonna choke the life out of the ECW champion.
01:19:54How much one of Umaga's legs weighs.
01:19:57I haven't seen, uh, seen legs like that since the brinosaurus died out.
01:20:03Oh, come on, here comes Bobby Lashley.
01:20:05He's gotta mount some offense.
01:20:07Left and right.
01:20:09Oh, no!
01:20:11Oh, that huge Samoan drop.
01:20:16Um, I'm trying to hear exactly what Estrada is telling Umaga to do.
01:20:23And I'm telling you, these two, these two giants,
01:20:26gave it everything they had last night.
01:20:30They represented their respective billionaires.
01:20:32Looks like we're gonna look at the Samoan drop.
01:20:34Oh, my gosh.
01:20:36I think that if, uh, if Umaga had covered Lashley there,
01:20:39he may have had this match won.
01:20:41He may have had the ECW championship in hand.
01:20:46Gosh, that's gotta feel like a building falling on you.
01:20:51And then, I don't know, look at Estrada, but it's perfectly legal.
01:20:54Well, except for the fact that Bobby Lashley's in the ropes there.
01:20:58Estrada, Umaga's partner in this handicap match.
01:21:01I got those five.
01:21:05Estrada is trying to tell the referee how to do his job.
01:21:09Explain to the referee.
01:21:10I guess the referee knows he got to five-count to break there when you're in the ropes.
01:21:14Oh, no!
01:21:15Oh, no!
01:21:15It's right!
01:21:17That was not a good landing for Umaga.
01:21:19And here comes Bobby Lashley!
01:21:21A huge DDT!
01:21:23But look at Umaga!
01:21:25Umaga does not even face and comes back with a huge foot.
01:21:29Right to the face of Bobby Lashley.
01:21:33This is it!
01:21:34That's a cover, too!
01:21:37What's up, Umaga?
01:21:39I'm telling you, you gotta watch out, referee.
01:21:41You remember what Umaga did to Stone Cold Steve Austin as he was refereeing last night?
01:21:46Umaga hit Austin with that big Samoan spike, and he almost hit Estrada there,
01:21:51but Estrada's smart enough to get his rear end out of the ring.
01:21:58Two.
01:22:00Now these two huge men changing right hands.
01:22:05Bobby Lashley getting the better of it.
01:22:07Here he comes!
01:22:08Uh-oh!
01:22:08Look out!
01:22:11Samoan side suplex.
01:22:13And then look at this!
01:22:14Estrada wants the win!
01:22:16Two!
01:22:16Two!
01:22:17Well, not today, Armando.
01:22:22Will we witness maybe the ultimate embarrassment to poor Mr. McMahon earlier tonight at the hands of that man,
01:22:29Bobby Lashley, coming out here and, well, ripping the hat, first the hat, then the towel, then my crown,
01:22:35and then your hat, JR, and then Lillian's skirt!
01:22:38Every one of these things Mr. McMahon had tried to cover his bald head with.
01:22:45And now I think Estrada and Umaga would like nothing better than to embarrass Bobby Lashley
01:22:52and make Mr. McMahon very, very happy right here tonight.
01:22:59Ooh!
01:23:00Big headbutt.
01:23:02I'll tell you, this, this Umaga, and then now once again Estrada with the cover too!
01:23:09Look at Estrada.
01:23:11You know, he may not be as dumb as he looks.
01:23:13Oh!
01:23:14He tries to get the cover.
01:23:15Hey, here's the cover!
01:23:17And somehow, Bobby Lashley kicks out of even Umaga's cover.
01:23:21Umaga!
01:23:22Beat him up!
01:23:24Beat him up!
01:23:25Beat him up!
01:23:26Beat him up!
01:23:27Well, pretty simple instructions there from Estrada.
01:23:31Just beat him up!
01:23:35Looks like it's gonna take long.
01:23:37A lot more than just a beat up to stop Bobby Lashley!
01:23:41Oh, man!
01:23:43Wow!
01:23:44That huge chop right to the esophagus of Bobby Lashley.
01:23:49Yeah, that's what Estrada's talking about.
01:23:50That may do it.
01:23:52Here's the count one, two, and once again Estrada thrown off.
01:23:59I think Estrada's taking Mr. McMahon's threat to heart, taking it very seriously as he was shoved up against the
01:24:06wall by Mr. McMahon and said, you better not fail me!
01:24:11Oh!
01:24:14Look at Estrada.
01:24:15He can talk the stack, but if Lashley even looks at him, he talks and tries to take a walk.
01:24:22Here comes Lashley.
01:24:24Lashley firing.
01:24:25Oh!
01:24:26Big sidekick!
01:24:28And once again, Lashley down.
01:24:30That may have got a point right in the eye.
01:24:34Armando Estrada with those street shoes on, stomping Lashley right in the back.
01:24:50What about that, sir?
01:24:52Oh!
01:24:53Oh, no!
01:24:54He's gonna go ahead and choke Bobby Lashley out if he can.
01:25:03These fans trying to get behind Lashley here.
01:25:08Well, I think it looks like he's trying to set Bobby Lashley up for that.
01:25:15Oh, and here comes Bobby Lashley.
01:25:18You don't ever count out these.
01:25:20Oh, my God!
01:25:23Every time Lashley looks like he's going out ahead of Steve and behind Estrada again.
01:25:29Somehow, Umaga cuts out Lashley.
01:25:31Look at this.
01:25:32Trying to add insult to injury.
01:25:35Hold on.
01:25:36Hold on.
01:25:36Hold on.
01:25:36Hold on.
01:25:37Hold on.
01:25:37Oh, look at this.
01:25:39Well, they're able to do that because Umaga and Estrada and Bobby Lashley right where they
01:25:45want him right now.
01:25:48Now we can be looking at the new ECW champion.
01:25:53We've already got new tag team champions tonight in the Hardys.
01:25:57We may see a new ECW champion in Umaga.
01:26:03We've seen this before.
01:26:08Umaga setting Bobby Lashley in that corner.
01:26:13Now he's just pretty much taking his time.
01:26:15And here's how he's toying with Lashley.
01:26:19And now Estrada's telling him it's time to put the finishing touches on.
01:26:24This is like an unstoppable freight train.
01:26:27Oh, my God.
01:26:30God.
01:26:34That's it.
01:26:35That's gotta be it.
01:26:41Somewhere in the back, Mr. McMahon has a huge smile on his bald face.
01:26:50This is, right now it appears that Estrada didn't so much want Umaga to pin Lashley yet.
01:26:59He wants to punish Bobby Lashley for what happened last night at WrestleMania.
01:27:05Samoan Spike.
01:27:06Oh.
01:27:06Blocked by Lashley.
01:27:09And here comes Bobby Lashley.
01:27:12Left, right, left, right.
01:27:15Oh, my gosh.
01:27:16Look at Lashley go.
01:27:19Oh, my God.
01:27:21What is it gonna take to nothing?
01:27:24Hey.
01:27:26Spear.
01:27:27Spear by Lashley.
01:27:29Two.
01:27:30Oh, my God.
01:27:32Estrada breaks up the cover at the last second.
01:27:36Uh-oh.
01:27:36You may regret that, Estrada.
01:27:40Bobby Lashley with his hand.
01:27:42Oh, ho, ho.
01:27:44The freight train just ran over Estrada.
01:27:49It looks like Lashley outsmarted by Estrada and Umaga.
01:27:55And here we go.
01:27:56You're not gonna like this ride.
01:27:59The Dominator with the cover.
01:28:05Bobby Lashley.
01:28:07Here's your winner and still, the ECW World Champion, Bobby Lashley.
01:28:15Oh, baby.
01:28:16Bobby Lashley overcame the odds and is victorious in this McMahon-ordered handicap match.
01:28:26What a sight.
01:28:34My gosh.
01:28:35Check it out one more time.
01:28:37The miss and then the spear by Bobby Lashley.
01:28:43This is the beginning of the end right there.
01:28:46Umaga.
01:28:47And then Estrada take it for the Dominator.
01:28:51The one, two, three.
01:28:53And Mr. McMahon must be fuming.
01:28:57Oh, my gosh.
01:28:58What will Mr. McMahon come up with next?
01:29:02I have a bad feeling that Deadman and many other superstars are gonna have to suffer the wrath of Mr.
01:29:11McMahon after what we've seen here tonight.
01:29:13Good night, everybody.
01:29:16Wow.
01:29:17Ow!
