00:00:02A chance at the undisputed WWF title.

00:00:07A shot at Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

00:00:11The game knows the deal.

00:00:13He's got to win this matchup.

00:00:15As does Jericho.

00:00:16On a boot.

00:00:17He's going to nail his pedigree call.

00:00:19Wait a minute.

00:00:19That damn red devil.

00:00:21The Undertaker.

00:00:22Jericho's got the tights.

00:00:23Not this way.

00:00:24Damn it.

00:00:25Jericho wins.

00:00:26Jericho has defeated Triple H.

00:00:29And Triple H is living.

00:00:31The Undertaker is screwed.

00:00:33Triple H.

00:00:33And now these two men going at it.

00:00:35And Jericho from behind.

00:00:37Chris Jericho and The Undertaker.

00:00:39Beating the hell out of Triple H.

00:00:41We need some damn security out here.

00:00:44Somebody's got to stop this.

00:00:45Wait a minute.

00:00:46Whoa.

00:00:47It's Hulk Hogan.

00:00:49Hogan scheduled to beat Undertaker in Judgment Day.

00:00:52And here goes Hogan.

00:00:53There goes the number one contender.

00:00:55It's not fair.

00:00:56But Jericho meets Hollywood Hulk Hogan on Smackdown for the Undisputed Title.

00:01:05And Regal being misperienced before he hits.

00:01:08Hey, look at that.

00:01:09And the Undertaker from behind.

00:01:11Assaulting Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

00:01:13I was afraid this was going to happen.

00:01:15The number one contender.

00:01:16With those thunderous body shots.

00:01:18The Undertaker's taking that weightlifting belt.

00:01:20Look at him positioning that buckle.

00:01:21That spine sticking straight out.

00:01:23Oh, look out.

00:01:23And the spine of that buckle.

00:01:25Oh, right in the head of Hogan.

00:01:27My God.

00:01:28The Undertaker trying to single-handedly kill Hulkamania.

00:01:32Hogan has been busted open.

00:01:34Undertaker.

00:01:34Oh, toe slamming.

00:01:36Hogan.

00:01:37This is scary, JR.

00:01:38Hogan's supposed to defend the Undisputed Title Smackdown against Jericho.

00:01:42And I'll tell you, for the looks of Hogan, he may have to surrender the Undisputed Title.

00:01:47The Undertaker has executed the Undisputed Champion.

00:01:51Champion!

00:02:32The Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh is jacked!

00:02:36Welcome to Smackdown on UPN!

00:02:38I'm Michael Cole, ringside, along with Taz.

00:02:42These WWF fans are waiting with rapid anticipation.

00:02:46Tonight, Hollywood Hulk Hogan defends the WWF Undisputed Title against Chris Jericho.

00:02:53That's right.

00:02:54You've got to wonder what kind of condition is Hollywood Hulk Hogan going to be in after

00:02:59what The Undertaker did to Hogan.

00:03:01That's a tremendous question, Taz.

00:03:04What will be the condition of Hollywood Hulk Hogan tonight?

00:03:10The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Wrestling Federation

00:03:16Tag Team Championship.

00:03:19To see the challenger's out of combined weight of 565 pounds, Rikishi and the Hurricane.

00:03:28Kicking on Smackdown's tremendous tag team accident.

00:03:31Here's a cruiserweight hurricane and a real super heavyweight in Rikishi.

00:03:36Oh, yeah, Rikishi's far from cruising weight.

00:03:39I mean, maybe a lot of weight, but he ain't no cruiserweight.

00:03:42The 350-pound Rikishi and Hurricane teaming up on what will be an historic night here tonight

00:03:48on Smackdown.

00:03:53And being accompanied to the ring by Rikishi, at a combined weight of 534 pounds, the tag

00:04:01team champions, Bily and Chuck.

00:04:05Columbo was just doing a Chuckie Shuffle called the seal.

00:04:08Yeah, I saw it.

00:04:09I also saw something I didn't want to see last week on Smackdown.

00:04:13The tag team champions and Rico embarrassed in the hands of Alistair and Maimon and also

00:04:18Torrey.

00:04:19They had their backsides exposed.

00:04:22They were deep pants.

00:04:24It was disgusting.

00:04:25It was despicable.

00:04:27But it was damn funny.

00:04:28Tag team titles on the line as we kick off Smackdown from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

00:04:34The Bellin Arena.

00:04:36Look at the chops on Rico.

00:04:37Yeah, the stylist for the tag team champions, Bily and Chuck.

00:04:42Look around those things.

00:04:44Rikishi wants to get this tag team title match started here on Smackdown.

00:04:49And Rikishi will start things off for his team.

00:04:52And who's going to start things off for the tag team champions?

00:04:55I just figured something out, Paul.

00:04:57The left cheek of Rikishi is the same weight as the Hurricane.

00:05:01Pretty much.

00:05:01That's a good observation.

00:05:02And the other cheek is the same weight as you.

00:05:04It's Rikishi and Bily locking up center of the ring with the tag team titles on the line.

00:05:08But folks, again tonight, Hollywood Hulk Hogan will defend the World Wrestling Federation

00:05:14Undisputed Championship against Chris Jericho.

00:05:17But you saw moments ago the vicious assault at the hands of The Undertaker on Raw Monday night.

00:05:23What type of condition is Hogan in here tonight?

00:05:27Well, that remains to be seen.

00:05:28Oh, look out.

00:05:29Oh, no!

00:05:30He wisely getting out of the way, making the tag to his partner, Chuck.

00:05:34And there's a slam by Rikishi.

00:05:36Rikishi put all that weight behind that power slam on poor Chuck.

00:05:40Rikishi with a big leg drop across the sternum.

00:05:43Remember, folks, the tag team titles are on the line in this matchup.

00:05:46And here comes the Hurricane.

00:05:49Hurricane's perched on the top.

00:05:50Big sunset.

00:05:51Sunset play.

00:05:52He may have him.

00:05:53Shoulders down.

00:05:53And Chuck kicks out before the count of three.

00:05:56You know, Rikishi and the Hurricane, it's a weird little connection.

00:05:59It's like a Porsche and a tank.

00:06:01Chuck misses with the big right hand and into the tilt.

00:06:04Well, look at the leg scissors by the Hurricane.

00:06:06Tremendous counter on Chuck.

00:06:08And Chuck has no idea where he is.

00:06:10Wrong corner.

00:06:11No man's land.

00:06:18Oh, look at this.

00:06:19Hurricane going for a possible chokeslam.

00:06:22And Billy into the ring.

00:06:23Here's the double-team by the tag team champions.

00:06:26Hurricane's going for the Hurricall slam.

00:06:28Hurricane with the right hands to Billy.

00:06:31Hurricane whipped into the corner.

00:06:32And here comes the Hurricane.

00:06:34Look at Billy.

00:06:35And Hurricane into Chuck.

00:06:37Chuck turns it around into a suplex.

00:06:39That was unique.

00:06:40Beautiful belly-to-belly right there by Chuck.

00:06:42Nice teamwork by the tag champs.

00:06:44And Chuck quickly across the ring, hooks the leg.

00:06:46Here's the cover.

00:06:46And Hurricane gets the shoulder up.

00:06:48You know, tonight, Taz, is a very important night

00:06:51for the former Undisputed Champion, Chris Jericho.

00:06:55He gets the opportunity tonight that he's been seeking

00:06:57since losing that title at WrestleMania.

00:07:00I talked to Jericho earlier today, and he is pumped.

00:07:03He knows.

00:07:03Ow!

00:07:04He knows The Undertaker did some heavy damage

00:07:06to Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

00:07:07But will Jericho be looking over his shoulder, Taz?

00:07:10Triple H is not in a good mood over what's transpired

00:07:12over the past couple of weeks.

00:07:14In fact, Jericho stole that title shot tonight from Triple H

00:07:17thanks to The Undertaker last week right here on SmackDown.

00:07:20That's true.

00:07:20A good point, Paul.

00:07:21You never know when a cerebral assassin is going to attack.

00:07:24And Billy working on the Hurricane with the tag team titles

00:07:27on the line here tonight.

00:07:29What about The Undertaker?

00:07:30He said on Raw Monday night that he wants to face Hogan

00:07:33at Judgment Day for the Undisputed Title.

00:07:35Perhaps Jericho is going to be looking over his shoulder

00:07:37for The Undertaker.

00:07:39Hurricane hits a desperation DDT.

00:07:42Can he rally here?

00:07:45Well, Hurricane at least makes the character big, Rikishi,

00:07:47but he's a far way away.

00:07:49And here we go now.

00:07:50Hurricane up over the top, lands on his feet.

00:07:52Chuck is over the next record by the Hurricane.

00:07:55And here's the tag to Rikishi.

00:07:56The 350 powder into the ring.

00:07:58Knocking down the tag team champions.

00:08:00Booyah everywhere.

00:08:02Rikishi is the kick to the face of Chuck.

00:08:04The tag champs are in all tons of trouble, Taz.

00:08:08No doubt Rikishi is cooking on all cylinders, big ones at that.

00:08:12Chuck ripped into the corner, into Billy.

00:08:14Backing up, he's backing it up.

00:08:16Oh, boy.

00:08:17Rikishi backing it up into the tag champs.

00:08:20That'll turn their hair black again.

00:08:22Ooh, big back body drop to Chuck by Rikishi.

00:08:26And Billy comes in the corner.

00:08:28He's hurting.

00:08:28Billy's hurting.

00:08:29But look at Hurricane trying to get Rikishi's attention.

00:08:32But look at Rikishi, he heard that thump by Billy.

00:08:35Oh, this could change Billy's world forever.

00:08:38This is gonna stink, Cole.

00:08:41Raising the roof in Pittsburgh.

00:08:44And look at Rico saving Billy from a possible stink face,

00:08:49but couldn't save Chuck from the Samoan drop.

00:08:51Rico, the great stylist that he is.

00:08:53Top rope, tag team titles could be in the grasp of the Hurricane and Rikishi.

00:08:59Cross body lateral crest.

00:09:00He can't slide, Cole!

00:09:01Hurricane's got Chuck covered, but the referee is distracted.

00:09:04Rico into the ring, and a funny kick to the head of the Hurricane.

00:09:08A dreaded spin kick by Rico.

00:09:10Chuck into the cover, and damn it, Rico has saved the tag titles from his team.

00:09:18Here are your winners and still tag team champions, Millie and Chuck.

00:09:24I believe the Hurricane and Rikishi at the tag title sport off that cross body.

00:09:29Well, my friend, you can believe whatever you want.

00:09:31There goes the tag team champions along with Rico.

00:09:34And Rico paying.

00:09:36Oh, look at this.

00:09:36The kick from Rikishi to Chuck.

00:09:39And Rico.

00:09:40Oh, no.

00:09:41He's gonna hit it.

00:09:42The Hurricane hits the chokeslam to the stylist.

00:09:46I can't believe he nailed it.

00:09:48Chuck and Billy have been taken out.

00:09:50Rico has hit left to the walls.

00:09:54Oh, no.

00:09:56Oh, no.

00:09:57Oh, Rikishi's gonna flatten those chops once in the world.

00:10:02Oh, the stick face.

00:10:04Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.

00:10:05I think the stylist is gonna need a stylist.

00:10:09Rico's styling now.

00:10:13Rikishi in the hurricane, leaving Rico with something to remember them by.

00:10:19A little stink to go, would it?

00:10:22Smack that off to a rousing start.

00:10:25And don't forget, folks, as we take another look at the stink face of Rico.

00:10:31Look at the reaction by Rico.

00:10:32Oh, that's awesome.

00:10:33What would you be doing?

00:10:34The same thing.

00:10:35Praying is a mouthful for you.

00:10:37No.

00:10:38Rico's gotta go take a shower.

00:10:40Two of them.

00:10:50This is a damn shame.

00:10:52I mean, here you are.

00:10:54Two of the most talented athletes in the whole company.

00:10:57And your greatest contribution to SmackDown thus far has been,

00:11:00I'll take $20 on Mark Henry.

00:11:04Just pathetic.

00:11:06But luckily for one of you, I'm here to change all that.

00:11:11See, tonight, I'm about to unveil this.

00:11:15The official, real Kurt Angle t-shirt.

00:11:20Huh?

00:11:21All right.

00:11:22Now, one of you will have the opportunity to go down the ring with me modeling this while I talk

00:11:28about it.

00:11:29Pretty sweet, huh?

00:11:30So what do you think?

00:11:33What do you think?

00:11:35American hero.

00:11:36It's true, it's true.

00:11:39You know what I think, Kurt?

00:11:41Your shirt sucks, and so do you.

00:11:49What the hell is he now?

00:11:51The guy wears a freaking towel.

00:11:53So what do you think, Lance?

00:11:56I think this is a fine piece of outerwear, Kurt.

00:11:59It would be my pleasure to wear this to the ring with you.

00:12:01Good, good.

00:12:03But aren't you just a little bit concerned?

00:12:05You know, about...

00:12:07Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:12:08About what?

00:12:09These people chanting, you suck?

00:12:12Lance, Lance, Lance, Lance.

00:12:13This is Pittsburgh.

00:12:15This is my hometown.

00:12:16These people wouldn't dare chant, you suck.

00:12:18I mean, don't you know that I'm all these people have to live for?

00:12:22Without me, Pittsburgh would be...

00:12:27The Pits.

00:12:28Get it?

00:12:31Well, the point is, these people worship me.

00:12:33It's not like they have anyone else to cheer for.

00:12:36Well, there is Mario Lemieux.

00:12:39Mario Lemieux, please.

00:12:42You know, rumor is that he faked that whole Hodgkin's disease just to get sympathy.

00:12:48Look at me.

00:12:49I'm Mario Lemieux.

00:12:51I bravely fought adversity.

00:12:53Love me.

00:12:54Love me.

00:12:56Well, that's what I heard.

00:12:58Come on, let's go.

00:13:00Come on.

00:13:06We are back on SmackDown in Kurt Angle's hometown of Pittsburgh.

00:13:13I won't yell, you suck here, Cole.

00:13:16Oh, yeah?

00:13:17We are back on SmackDown.

00:13:19We are back on SmackDown.

00:13:22Oh.

00:13:27Now, so much for those hometown fans never telling Kurt that he sucks.

00:13:31Yeah, but look at that shirt, Cole.

00:13:32That is cool.

00:13:34I like that.

00:13:37What a Lance Doran calling a fine piece of outerwear.

00:13:41And by the way, Kurt Angle is the most self-centered human being I've ever been around.

00:13:47As usual, you're wrong.

00:13:49He's an American hero, gold medal winner, former WLF champion.

00:13:53Angle said it all.

00:13:54He created the Steel City.

00:13:56It's his city.

00:13:57He cares about no one but himself, by the way.

00:13:59There's nothing wrong with that.

00:14:14First of all, Lance Storm does not suck.

00:14:19I think they were talking about you, Kurt.

00:14:21No, they were talking about Storm.

00:14:22He may be Canadian, but he's pretty cool.

00:14:26And why is he cool?

00:14:30Because tonight, he is officially wearing the real Kurt Angle t-shirt.

00:14:39That is sharp.

00:14:43A shirt that I specifically designed myself.

00:14:48I can tell.

00:14:50And on the front, it says American hero.

00:14:55It's true, it's true.

00:14:57It's true.

00:14:58I've got gold.

00:14:59What?

00:15:00How about you?

00:15:02What?

00:15:03Turn around, Lance.

00:15:05And on the back, even better.

00:15:08It lists my many illustrious accomplishments.

00:15:11Wow.

00:15:11Look at that.

00:15:12So many.

00:15:14That at the bottom, I had to print.

00:15:17And many more.

00:15:19Stop the pain.

00:15:20And many more.

00:15:21Because I do.

00:15:22Because I do.

00:15:25And because of all the writing on this t-shirt, because there's so much of it, it's only available

00:15:33in XXL or larger.

00:15:36You're going to put on some weight, Cole.

00:15:40So, Lance, what do you think about my new t-shirt?

00:15:44Kurt, I think this is just great.

00:15:47Exactly.

00:15:50Now, I know that you people are having a hard time balancing your budget, and that many

00:16:02of you are unemployed, but if you're smart, you'll take the money you spend on beer in

00:16:11Porto, filthy town, filthy, Pittsburgh, and put it to good use.

00:16:23So, who wants to buy my t-shirt?

00:16:27This is a surprise.

00:16:31This is a surprise.

00:16:33Oh, here comes Moppy Head.

00:16:35Hey, it's Kurt's good money.

00:16:37Yeah, the instigator, Edge.

00:16:40Hey, you've got to admit, Edge had me in tears last week when he had built Kurt's real

00:16:45t-shirt.

00:16:46It was pretty funny.

00:16:50Kurt's not too happy that an Edge is afraid, that it's parade yet again.

00:16:54As usual, Edge just interrupts on you.

00:16:57It's not respectful.

00:17:00And Kurt respects everybody else, right?

00:17:02Especially here in Pittsburgh.

00:17:09Kurt, I want to buy a t-shirt.

00:17:12I think all of these people want to buy a t-shirt.

00:17:18And not that there's anything wrong with your shirt, but I think there's a better one

00:17:22out there.

00:17:25You remember the one I'm talking about, Kurt.

00:17:29If you don't, let me refresh your memory.

00:17:32Can we please bring out the brand new Kurt Angle t-shirt?

00:17:36Yeah, now this is what I'm talking about.

00:17:39Oh, man.

00:17:40Storm's got the new shirt on.

00:17:41No, the Big Balbukski has the new shirt on.

00:17:45Ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:17:50Are they saying this is Alphard Bulls?

00:17:54I think they're talking about Kurt Angle t-shirt.

00:17:57Hold on a second.

00:17:59Stop the music.

00:18:01Stop the freaking music.

00:18:04That's it, Edge.

00:18:05I've had it.

00:18:07I am sick of this, Edge.

00:18:10I thought after I kicked your a** at Backlash, you would have learned a lesson.

00:18:18But you haven't learned a damn thing.

00:18:22You know what?

00:18:24I want another match with you on Judgment Day.

00:18:27And this time, Edge, you're going to be the one that sucks.

00:18:34Sucking your meals through a freaking straw at a hospital.

00:18:40I'm going to brutalize you.

00:18:43I'm going to inflict so much freaking pain that you're going to...

00:18:50What is this all about?

00:18:54I like it.

00:18:55I like it a lot.

00:18:59Edge, my real friend, Lance Storm, just informed me that he knows that I could beat you anytime, anywhere, anytime

00:19:08I want.

00:19:10But you know something?

00:19:14It'd be much better to humiliate you.

00:19:19So what do you say we have ourselves a match at Judgment Day?

00:19:24And this time, what do we say we put something on the line?

00:19:30Like, uh, maybe that pretty little head of yours?

00:19:34He put his head on the line?

00:19:36How about, it gets shaved bald if I beat you.

00:19:41Huh?

00:19:44Bold head, Edge.

00:19:45Huh?

00:19:45What do you say, Edge?

00:19:46Not such a Johnny Good time now, are we?

00:19:49Huh?

00:19:50What do you say?

00:19:51Hey, you know what, Kurt?

00:19:54I'll do it.

00:19:56Whoa!

00:19:58But you put your money where your mouth is.

00:20:00If I beat you...

00:20:04You shave your head bald.

00:20:07Bobblehead Kurt.

00:20:10Hold on a second.

00:20:12First of all, these people would die if their Olympic hero's head was shaved.

00:20:18They don't want to see that.

00:20:19There's no way.

00:20:20I don't want to see it either.

00:20:22Horrific.

00:20:25To paraphrase another famous WWF superstar,

00:20:31if y'all want to see Kurt Angle get his head shaved clean,

00:20:35give him a you suck!

00:20:37You suck!

00:20:38It's unanimous.

00:20:40I can't believe this.

00:20:42I'll tell you what.

00:20:43If it means not giving these people what they want,

00:20:47and humiliating you like I'm going to,

00:20:50I say Judgment Day, Edge,

00:20:53you're on.

00:20:55And after Judgment Day, I say Kurt Angle will be red, white, and bald.

00:21:03Oh, my!

00:21:05Andy up for Judgment Day in two and a half weeks!

00:21:10Ham versus Ham, Edge?

00:21:11It is Kurt Angle versus Edge.

00:21:14And yes, it's Hare versus Hare.

00:21:17Who's going to be bald?

00:21:19Well, Edge has got a lot more to lose.

00:21:20I mean, he's got more hair!

00:21:25And now, the Wack of the Night,

00:21:27presented by Lorillard Tobacco Company's

00:21:29Youth Smoking Prevention Program.

00:21:31Tobacco is wacko if you're a teen.

00:21:34Hardcore Holly.

00:21:35Tonight he's going to teach some lessons to a new coach.

00:21:37Randy Orton.

00:21:38This is Orton's tryout match.

00:21:40Good luck, kid.

00:21:40They haven't put him to the leg.

00:21:42It's down!

00:21:42What an upstart!

00:21:43Incredible!

00:21:44What a tryout match for Randy Orton.

00:21:47Tobacco is wacko if you're a teen.

00:21:50How do you like me now?

00:21:52Well, it was definitely a shocker last week on SmackDown.

00:21:56This man, Hardcore Holly, embarrassed by Randy Orton,

00:22:00but I don't think he's going to let it happen, well, two times in a row.

00:22:04Not a shot.

00:22:07The following contest is scheduled for one fall,

00:22:10making its way to the ring for Mobile, Alabama,

00:22:13weighing in at 234 pounds.

00:22:17Hardcore Holly!

00:22:18And we're getting word now, Taz.

00:22:19Just moments ago, a huge match was made for later on tonight.

00:22:23Kurt Angle's going to team with Lance Storm

00:22:25against Edge and the Big Balbozki.

00:22:28Finally, maybe just tonight,

00:22:29Angle will just get a piece of Edge

00:22:31and shut him up before Judgement Day.

00:22:33And from St. Louis, Missouri,

00:22:35weighing in at 204 pounds,

00:22:38Randy Orton.

00:22:39Well, the upster of Randy Orton has had an interesting day in Pittsburgh here at SmackDown.

00:22:44Checked out what happened a little bit earlier today.

00:22:51Hey, Randy.

00:22:57What do you want, Stacey?

00:22:59Last time you came around, I got in trouble for Mr. McMahon.

00:23:01Well, he's not here right now.

00:23:04And last week was last week, and this is this week.

00:23:07So as far as your match goes tonight with Hardcore Holly,

00:23:11I just wanted to wish you good luck.

00:23:18Thanks.

00:23:27Hey, what is up with Stacey?

00:23:28I don't know.

00:23:28Stacey, we should check out that cool lettering on Orton's truck.

00:23:32Oh, give me a break.

00:23:33Oh, he's got some cool lettering on.

00:23:34Look at this.

00:23:35Hardcore Holly is going to hold the road slope to do it.

00:23:38Help Orton into the ring.

00:23:40Hardcore wants himself a piece of these young students.

00:23:43Try to teach him a lesson.

00:23:44Yeah, Hardcore Holly didn't eat nothing all day.

00:23:46He's going to eat Orton right now.

00:23:48Well, we've talked about Randy Orton being a third-generation superstar.

00:23:52His grandfather, Bob Orton Sr., and his father, Cowboy Bob Orton.

00:23:57So, of course, wrestling is in Randy Orton's jeans.

00:23:59But would you look at last week's victory as a fluke over Hardcore Holly?

00:24:03Absolutely, it's a fluke.

00:24:04And Orton better get his grandfather, his old man,

00:24:06his grandmother, his Aunt Tilly,

00:24:07his uncle's sister.

00:24:09He better get everybody.

00:24:10Here's a cover by Randy Orton.

00:24:11Hook to the leg.

00:24:12And again, a kick up again.

00:24:13Orton is surprising Hardcore Holly coming out of the blocks.

00:24:16And Hardcore is extremely upset about that.

00:24:19Well, maybe last week wasn't a fluke.

00:24:21Hardcore with a shot to the midsection.

00:24:23And now Hardcore Holly, who loves to beat on people.

00:24:25All you got to do is watch Tuck it up to an MTV.

00:24:28And see what I'm talking about.

00:24:30And there was a shot to Randy Orton.

00:24:32Yeah, Hardcore's always miserable and angry.

00:24:35He just loves beating up people's bodies.

00:24:36I think that, look at this.

00:24:38Orton may have him.

00:24:39There's a count of two and a kick out by Holley so close.

00:24:44You know what, Colton?

00:24:45There's the Oklahoma roll.

00:24:46Again, there's a kick out.

00:24:48And again, the Oklahoma roll.

00:24:50Orton used that last week to defeat Hardcore Horton.

00:24:52I think I like her.

00:24:54I think I like Orton.

00:24:54You know what?

00:24:55He beat Hardcore last week, but it didn't happen this week.

00:24:58Hardcore did his homework.

00:24:59Yeah, Hardcore Holly not gonna get caught this time.

00:25:01And now in firm control of the youngster, Randy Orton.

00:25:06Just beating Hardcore Holly just ever, ever hating everyone.

00:25:10And just doesn't like Orton.

00:25:11Because he's got to get him back for last week.

00:25:15Look at that.

00:25:16Look at that.

00:25:33He's got a kiss for good luck tonight, what else you want?

00:25:36And Hardcore Holly, backing Orton into the corner, a shot to the chin of Orton.

00:25:42And there's another shot.

00:25:43Hey, get out of the corner, let's go.

00:25:45That hurts, I wrestled down, Hardcore Holly, that hurts, trust me.

00:25:49And another shot.

00:25:50And Randy Orton being taken to school tonight by Hardcore Holly who's ripped into the corner of the rehearsal.

00:26:00Oh, Orton a little too quick to come in and catches the move.

00:26:03He's having a rough session of class.

00:26:05No!

00:26:05Slam!

00:26:06Hook of the leg again by Orton.

00:26:07There's two, and Holly kicks out.

00:26:09Well, his knee falls by Orton, this kid's tough.

00:26:12Well, Hardcore Holly trying to put Orton away and hasn't been able to do it.

00:26:16And Orton blocks the right hand, and here comes Randy Orton again, hammering away on Hardcore Holly.

00:26:21Well, that's what Orton needs to do, Cole, he needs to stay on Hardcore, don't let up on him.

00:26:24Off the second row, Orton takes Hardcore down.

00:26:27That was unique.

00:26:28Hook of the leg, there's two, and Holly again.

00:26:30Gets the shoulder up, there ain't no quitting, Orton.

00:26:33None, none at all.

00:26:34Yeah, Hardcore.

00:26:35Come on, again by Orton, he's guarding it real good now.

00:26:38But perhaps frustration may be beginning to set in for Hardcore.

00:26:42Big fly of four on there with his back drop.

00:26:44And a big back body drop to Holly as well, and Orton making a great account.

00:26:48No!

00:26:49And he's gonna be disqualified.

00:26:54Well, that'll straighten the kid out.

00:26:55What the hell did Holly do that for?

00:26:57He's mad, frustrated, angry.

00:27:00And Orton tossed over the top of my Holly.

00:27:03Get him!

00:27:03Holly's been disqualified after the low blow.

00:27:06Let's go!

00:27:07Wrestling-wise, the King showed up Hardcore.

00:27:09Yeah, he showed up.

00:27:10Yeah, today.

00:27:11Yeah, maybe Hardcore Holly.

00:27:12He couldn't out wrestle this King Randy Orton.

00:27:15Well, I don't know about that.

00:27:16Now he just wants to hurt him.

00:27:18That's just what he's gonna do, and that's the name of the game.

00:27:20He's hurting people.

00:27:21Where the hell's he taking him now?

00:27:23I guess we're gonna find out.

00:27:24Enough there already.

00:27:26There goes the ref.

00:27:27The low blow by Holly wasn't enough.

00:27:29Not this.

00:27:30No!

00:27:30My God, no!

00:27:32The Alabama Slam to the skill ramp by Hardcore.

00:27:36Hell, do you like me now?

00:27:39Wow!

00:27:40Yeah, how do you like me now?

00:27:42I'll tell you how you like you.

00:27:44You're a jerk, Holly!

00:27:46I agree with that.

00:27:48He kind of is a jerk.

00:27:50That wasn't cool.

00:27:51The second match of this young kid's career,

00:27:54and he's treated like that.

00:27:56Kid's knocked down, Cole.

00:27:57He made a great accounting of himself, didn't Randy Orton?

00:28:00And Hardcore Holly, the jerk, had to get himself disqualified.

00:28:04I don't disagree.

00:28:05Hardcore went a little overboard here.

00:28:06There's no doubt about it.

00:28:07This wasn't cool.

00:28:08Look at the impact.

00:28:09Look at the Alabama Slam to the skill ramp.

00:28:12Get out of here.

00:28:12That kid should be out cold.

00:28:14That kid's career could be done.

00:28:17All right, guys.

00:28:19Hey, hold up.

00:28:22Hey, man, look.

00:28:23Look here, man.

00:28:24Look at all this, man.

00:28:25Look at all this money I want betting on you, man.

00:28:27Them pieces you do, man, that no one else can do.

00:28:30I mean, hey, I'm making a killing off your hard work, man,

00:28:34and some of this belongs to you.

00:28:35No, man, no.

00:28:37I'm just happy to be able to be on SmackDown and show my wares.

00:28:40No, come on, bro.

00:28:41Please take some.

00:28:42I mean, I'm just walking around with a pocket full of cash, man.

00:28:44Betting on you.

00:28:45Strongest man in the world.

00:28:47Now, you are what I call betting on a sure thing.

00:28:50Hey.

00:28:50All right, man.

00:28:51I'll take cover.

00:28:52Hey, hey, hey, no, brother.

00:28:54Don't get greedy, man.

00:28:55You know what I mean?

00:28:56Not quite that much, you know?

00:28:58Don't worry about these 50s.

00:28:59Hey, no, no.

00:29:00Hey, hey, look.

00:29:01I got you, baby.

00:29:02How about this brand new 20, huh?

00:29:04All right, man.

00:29:05Oh, my brother.

00:29:06Oh, look at you.

00:29:08Standing so good.

00:29:09So tall.

00:29:10Oh, my brother.

00:29:11Look at you.

00:29:12And you know something what troubles me is that the good book says money is the root of all evil.

00:29:19But we can change that.

00:29:21Oh, we can take that dirty.

00:29:22Ha.

00:29:23We can take that filthy.

00:29:24Ha.

00:29:24Oh, that dirty money.

00:29:26That sinful money.

00:29:27And we can change it and cleanse it.

00:29:29And make it to a point where the man upstairs, ha, will shine his light brightly upon you.

00:29:35Oh, yes.

00:29:36We can do that.

00:29:37Because, you see, you can give me that money and I can put it towards the United Devon Building Fund.

00:29:44Because, my brothers, a dollar is a terrible thing to waste.

00:29:49I got you.

00:29:49Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:29:51Hold on, hold on.

00:29:51Listen up, man.

00:29:54You testify on this.

00:29:56You testify your a** out of here before I do something truly sinful with that collection plate.

00:30:05It's sinful.

00:30:07Brother Ron, if I was you, I'd step back.

00:30:11Because lightning will strike down upon you.

00:30:16And if it doesn't strike you first, then maybe brother Devon will.

00:30:25My brother gonna bust hell wide open.

00:30:27Yeah.

00:30:29Hey, mom.

00:30:30Yeah?

00:30:31You got that 20?

00:30:31Yeah.

00:30:32Hey, I've got a 10 here, I'll take that.

00:30:35You know, that kid Orton doesn't have any idea what a kiss or good luck really means.

00:30:44I, on the other hand, I like to give you lots of kisses, Stacy.

00:30:52And quite frankly, there's one sensitive little area that really turns me on.

00:30:59And I'm gonna give you all the luck in the world right about now when I kiss that sweet little

00:31:06belly button of yours.

00:31:09Oh, how nice is this?

00:31:13The Undisputed Champion has arrived!

00:31:16What the hell are you doing here?

00:31:18What?

00:31:18You never knock?

00:31:20What's the story?

00:31:20I didn't say the Undisputed Champion.

00:31:22I don't need to knock.

00:31:23But to be honest, I've been walking around all day.

00:31:24You know tonight's my night.

00:31:25You know tonight is my chance to regain the Undisputed Championship.

00:31:29I understand that.

00:31:30Then why are you here telling me this?

00:31:32Well, there's a couple things that are bothering me, Vince.

00:31:34A few things all day long have been bothering me getting in my head.

00:31:36First thing is Hulk Hogan.

00:31:38How am I supposed to know that has-been isn't gonna go and get himself intentionally disqualified tonight?

00:31:42Hmm?

00:31:43Hmm.

00:31:44That's a good question.

00:31:46You mean, as if he would hit the referee or something?

00:31:48Well, you saw the Undertaker beat the hell out of him on Monday night.

00:31:51He knows I'm gonna do the same to him tonight.

00:31:53How am I supposed to know he's not gonna punch the referee in the face and get himself

00:31:56intensely disqualified right off the bat?

00:31:57Because as of right now, this is a no disqualification matchup.

00:32:01Well, that takes care of that little problem, I guess.

00:32:04You bet.

00:32:04So what?

00:32:05That's great.

00:32:05But then there's the Undertaker.

00:32:07Okay?

00:32:08He said he would rather face Hollywood Hulk Hogan at Backlash than me.

00:32:12Right?

00:32:13And rightfully so.

00:32:14And also last week, he came down to the ring and interfered in my match.

00:32:17How am I supposed to know he's not gonna do the same thing this week?

00:32:20Because Ric Flair and I have an agreement of reciprocity.

00:32:24No individual will ever again interfere in either Raw or SmackDown.

00:32:28If they do, they will be immediately suspended.

00:32:31Immediately?

00:32:32Immediately.

00:32:32Suspended.

00:32:33So Undertaker's not gonna be here tonight.

00:32:34I can guarantee it.

00:32:36That's great.

00:32:36Good luck to you.

00:32:37Well, that brings me to my third point then.

00:32:39What about Triple H?

00:32:40I'm a little jealous, this guy.

00:32:41He's not how convictative he is.

00:32:42How am I supposed to know he's not gonna come down to the ring and spoil my chance tonight as

00:32:46well?

00:32:46Hmm?

00:32:47Actually, that's a damn good question.

00:32:49Yeah.

00:32:50Well, I'll tell you the reason why.

00:32:51It's because if he so much as lays one finger on you prior to the outcome of this matchup,

00:32:58for Triple H, that would be tantamount to career suicide.

00:33:04Beautiful.

00:33:06Looks like everything's pointing my way, Vince.

00:33:08Yeah.

00:33:08Looks like tonight, we're gonna have a new World Wrestling Federation Undisputed Champion.

00:33:14And his name is Chris Jericho.

00:33:18You got it now.

00:33:19Oh, jeez.

00:33:20Yeah.

00:33:21Yeah, man.

00:33:23What I was about to do is to really...

00:33:33Excuse me for a minute.

00:33:35Oh, sure.

00:33:36Tonight is my night, Vince.

00:33:37Tonight is my night.

00:33:40Well, you may be right, but you know what?

00:33:43Tonight is our night, too, Stacy.

00:33:46What do you say let's get busy?

00:33:58The WWF remembers the lives of two legends.

00:34:02Ed Wahoo McDaniel's Native American heritage was a source of personal pride and inspiration throughout his life.

00:34:09The Chiefs' remarkable career spanned over four decades.

00:34:14The incomparable Luthez was one of the world's most respected ring generals.

00:34:20Immortalized by the Luthez Press, Hooker will be remembered as one of the great champions of all time.

00:34:30You think you know me.

00:34:31I think you know me.

00:34:32I think you know me.

00:34:32We are back on SmackDown.

00:34:34Moments ago, we told you this huge tag team match has been made.

00:34:38As we head toward Judgment Day in the hair versus hair match between Edge and Kurt Angle.

00:34:48The following tag team contests being scheduled for one fall.

00:34:53Picking your weight away at a combined weight of 485 pounds.

00:34:58Edge and the Big Balbooski.

00:35:01I'm just trying to picture here looking at Edge, Taz.

00:35:05What do you even look like without that big old head full of hair?

00:35:08I mean, that's the same hair that got him a Japanese shampoo brush if he looks back.

00:35:12Look at his hair.

00:35:13He's damaged and nappy.

00:35:15He's actually got a heads on nose.

00:35:17You think it would be in his best interest to lose the match, Daniel?

00:35:20Get his hair cut off.

00:35:21I think they should do it tonight.

00:35:22I mean, we're in the right arena.

00:35:24Mount Marina.

00:35:24Mount Head Edge.

00:35:25You know, all Edge.

00:35:27Right.

00:35:28Right.

00:35:28And at a combined weight of 467 pounds, Lance Storm and Kurt Angle.

00:35:35A great crowd here in Kurt Angle's hometown of Pittsburgh tonight.

00:35:38It's going to be electric.

00:35:40The WWF comes live Saturday night to North Waterdale, Florida.

00:35:43Sunday, Brooklyn, Massachusetts.

00:35:45Monday, Hartford, Connecticut.

00:35:47All Massachusetts.

00:35:49And listen to this crowd.

00:35:52I don't respect the show for Lance Longstead.

00:35:55It sucks.

00:35:55I think Pittsburgh is pointing the new suck chance to Kurt Angle.

00:36:00Uh, Angle Senator Elliott.

00:36:02The only thing that they have is Angle.

00:36:04They love Angle here.

00:36:05So Edge and the big Malvoski in a big tag team matchup against Kurt Angle and Lance Storm,

00:36:10and it's going to be Edge and Angle starting things off these two weeks

00:36:12two and a half weeks of Judgment Day.

00:36:14Come on.

00:36:14Head versus Hair.

00:36:15Come on.

00:36:16Come on.

00:36:17Must save his hand.

00:36:18Come on.

00:36:18Can you imagine Kurt Angle with their hand?

00:36:21It's good earlier.

00:36:21It's like a bottle head doll.

00:36:23Come on.

00:36:24That would look pretty funny with a ball of heaven.

00:36:26That big, thick, heck it is.

00:36:28And Angle with a big boot to the chin and Kurt Angle kick off the second rope.

00:36:36And a kick out that matchup at Judgment Day, a rematch of perhaps the most spectacular match of Backlash.

00:36:43Come on.

00:36:44Let him go, come on.

00:36:45And I'll tell you, he's a lot like Edge.

00:36:47He loves to have fun, fun-loving guy, ladies and pretty sarcastic in his own right.

00:36:53Well, no doubt about it.

00:36:54Well, Valvoski might have a good time, but when you're in there with Angle, you're gonna

00:36:57concentrate on your opponent, because Angle's a bad man.

00:36:59Well, Valvoski, former Intercontinental Champion, his own right here.

00:37:02He's a cover hook of the leg, and a kick out by Angle.

00:37:05And Kurt Angle will break in the eyes, and there's your Olympic champion.

00:37:08Who are you?

00:37:09Oh, man.

00:37:09He blows well, Angle.

00:37:11Follow it up with a big Valvoski.

00:37:13Kurt Angle will just stick you with a bullseye and throw you out.

00:37:16And Angle goes to work with a big Valvoski.

00:37:18Later on tonight, the undisputed title is on the line.

00:37:22Hollywood Hulk Hogan versus Chris Jericho.

00:37:25And boy, oh, boy, did Mr. McMahon just throw a wrench in your face.

00:37:28First off, moments ago, Mr. McMahon named this a no-disqualification match.

00:37:34Yes, he did.

00:37:35And what about the Undertaker?

00:37:37He can't show up.

00:37:38Yeah, well, he'll be suspended.

00:37:40Yeah, The Undertaker cannot show up in this arena tonight because of this

00:37:43agreement of reciprocity.

00:37:45Oh, look at the side-rushing legs beat by Val.

00:37:47Leg Storm in all kinds of trouble.

00:37:49And a submissive maneuver.

00:37:50And look at Kurt Angle breaking it up with the elbow to the face of the big Valvoski.

00:37:56Again, this agreement between Flair and McMahon.

00:37:58And that basically is that whoever shows up, the superstar from Raw shows up at SmackDown,

00:38:03he will be immediately suspended.

00:38:05Which means if The Undertaker shows up tonight, he will be suspended.

00:38:08What about Mr. McMahon said about Triple H?

00:38:10Yes, Triple H touches Y2J.

00:38:13Oh, look at the kick.

00:38:14And Triple H touches Y2J before the conclusion of the match.

00:38:17His career's over.

00:38:18Well, I'm sure the game is aware of Mr. McMahon said a while back, and he's gotta be hot about

00:38:22that.

00:38:22Angle shot to the midsection of Edge.

00:38:24And Kurt Angle and Lance Storm in control of Edge.

00:38:28Angle is gonna pick Edge apart right now.

00:38:31To get Judgment Day, Edge is gonna take out Edge now.

00:38:34Well, there's a lot on the line at Judgment Day.

00:38:36It's hair versus hair.

00:38:37Loser must shave his head.

00:38:39And again, I can't picture Edge without a head full of hair.

00:38:41Oh!

00:38:42Angle into the cover.

00:38:44Hook a leg at Edge.

00:38:45I can picture Edge without hair.

00:38:47I mean, he acts silly.

00:38:48Therefore, I guess he'll just look silly.

00:38:50Angle would look silly too, but a huge match still upcoming.

00:38:54Jericho, Hogan, undisputed titles on the line tonight.

00:38:58One, two.

00:38:59The winner of Danger the Undertaker.

00:39:02You got him!

00:39:05And now the celebration begins in front of his hometown crowd who have not given Kurt Angle a warmer section.

00:39:13Once Angle pops those hips on any kind of suplex, he'd rather throw you to know you.

00:39:18You'd go flying.

00:39:19Lance Storm with a kick to the midsection of Edge.

00:39:21Storm now in control of Edge, working on that long hair.

00:39:26Oh!

00:39:26Using it as a weapon.

00:39:28Storm, Storm, get a big, thick hand from that hand.

00:39:31Give it a hand.

00:39:32Put it in a bottle.

00:39:33Oof!

00:39:34And there's that leg drop.

00:39:35Cross this joint.

00:39:35Hook of the leg.

00:39:36And Edge just gets the shoulder up.

00:39:38Again, to get back to that one stipulation by Mr. McMahon concerning Triple H in the title match tonight.

00:39:43Tremendous stipulation.

00:39:44Cuz you know Triple H believes he should be in this match tonight and not Chris Jericho.

00:39:48Triple H screwed by The Undertaker right here on SmackDown.

00:39:51Remember if the game gets involved or touches Jericho in any way, shape or form, career suicide.

00:39:58And look at Lance Storm.

00:39:59Nice dropped hold into a little leg bar there.

00:40:01And now the tag by Kurt Angle and this team doing a tremendous job isolating Edge from Balbozki in his

00:40:07corner.

00:40:08Talking about Jericho and Hogan, like we said at the top of the show, you gotta wonder the condition of

00:40:12Hollywood Hulk Hogan after what Dead Man 8 did to him last Monday on Raw.

00:40:16And here's the double team by Storm and Kurt Angle.

00:40:19And Edge is in a world of trouble.

00:40:21Needs to make a tag.

00:40:22And you make a good point, Taz.

00:40:23The Undertaker took Hollywood Hulk Hogan's own weight belt.

00:40:27Hey, come on.

00:40:27And he took the buckle.

00:40:29And he stuck that buckle right into the forehead of Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

00:40:32That's why he's called Dead Man 8.

00:40:34That's why he's called Dead Man 8.

00:40:35That's why he's called Big Evil, Red Devil.

00:40:37All those things fit The Undertaker.

00:40:39And I would call Lance Storm meticulous in his attack on Edge in this matchup.

00:40:44He's got a chivalry on there.

00:40:46He's got his jaw locked up.

00:40:48They're just fighting out of it.

00:40:49Edge with the elbows to the midsection.

00:40:51He's trying to battle back.

00:40:52There's the reversal by Lance Storm.

00:40:55He lands on the apron.

00:40:56Edge!

00:40:57Shot to the back of the neck.

00:40:59Canadiens finest right there.

00:41:00Look at that.

00:41:01What a counter by Edge.

00:41:03A desperation move by Edge.

00:41:05And now he needs to get into the Big Balbozki.

00:41:07Absolutely, Edge needs to tag Balbozki.

00:41:10But it looks like Storm is gonna get the angle first, maybe.

00:41:13Burn Angle walks in this matchup.

00:41:15Lance Storm's far over the corner.

00:41:17Check out this desperation move by Edge.

00:41:19Beautiful power slam.

00:41:20Good thinking by Edge.

00:41:21And here comes Balbozki.

00:41:22Gonna meet Carmango head on, center of the ring.

00:41:25The Big Balbozki is over against Storm and Angle.

00:41:28Balbozki's rolling, and he's cooking!

00:41:31Big Balbozki with Kurt Angle.

00:41:33Reversal off the ropes with Balbozki.

00:41:35Duck center into the close line.

00:41:37A short knock down by Balbozki.

00:41:39In a slam on speed.

00:41:41Balbozki's looking good right now.

00:41:42It's a German!

00:41:43Also looking good, and he's tapped into the German's duplex of Angle.

00:41:46Won't turn you back on Kurt Angle.

00:41:49Angle who takes advantage of every situation.

00:41:52But now, Balbozki powers out.

00:41:54Oh, look out!

00:41:55A power bomb by Balbozki.

00:41:57The cover, and Lance Storm just saved the three count.

00:42:00The speed of Lance Storm saving Angle there.

00:42:03And now Angle and Lance Storm in control of the Big Balbozki.

00:42:07Lands on his feet.

00:42:10Double close line.

00:42:10Edge with a double close line at the top rope.

00:42:14Good teamwork by Edge and Balbozki.

00:42:16And Edge in pursuit of Lance Storm.

00:42:18Balbozki and Angle left in the ring.

00:42:21One, two, three.

00:42:23And it's belted up by Angle.

00:42:25What a throw.

00:42:26Beautiful throw by Kurt Angle.

00:42:28And Edge with a spear.

00:42:29Knocking Angle on his feet.

00:42:31And Lance Storm knocking Edge over the top rope.

00:42:34Both Angle, Balbozki down in the ring.

00:42:36Right in front of us.

00:42:37One, two, three.

00:42:39What a spectacular tag team matchup.

00:42:41Two.

00:42:41Kurt might be out.

00:42:42Balbozki falling into the cover.

00:42:45Kurt's out, Cole.

00:42:46He hooks the leg.

00:42:47He's out.

00:42:47Could have him in Angle.

00:42:48Just gets the shoulder up.

00:42:50The mad sense of Kurt Angle.

00:42:52Angle's probably knocked out but hurt that two count and kicked out.

00:42:55I thought the big Balbozki had Kurt Angle with just a split second away.

00:42:59And now Pittsburgh's own Angle handles it in the right hands.

00:43:02Balbozki.

00:43:03Wow, what a spine buster.

00:43:05Big impact on that by Balbozki.

00:43:07And Kurt Angle is back throbbing in pain as Balbozki climbs to the top rope.

00:43:14Look at this.

00:43:15Lance Storm.

00:43:16And Balbozki fights Storm off.

00:43:19It will storm.

00:43:20And Kurt Angle, uh-oh, look out.

00:43:23There's only one for that.

00:43:25And Kurt Angle falls into the cover.

00:43:27He hooks the leg.

00:43:28This could be it.

00:43:29And here's two.

00:43:30Balbozki.

00:43:31How can he do it?

00:43:33Gotta keep Balbozki turning on that one.

00:43:36And Kurt Angle with the shoulder straps down.

00:43:38Oh boy, it's all in the part of that, Cole.

00:43:40He was angry, but Edge knocked an angle down.

00:43:43There's Storm.

00:43:44On the monster.

00:43:46Over the top rope.

00:43:49Kurt Angle shot to the midsection.

00:43:51Angle slam's coming, Cole.

00:43:52Waiting for the angle slam.

00:43:53Balbozki rolls him up.

00:43:55Balbozki's got Angle defeated here.

00:43:56It's only one last start with a kick to the head.

00:43:59And he rolls with Edge.

00:44:00And Kurt Angle into the cover.

00:44:02Not this way.

00:44:03Storm and Angle steal it.

00:44:10Storm and Kurt Angle.

00:44:12You know damn well, Taz, that Edge and Balbozki had this match won.

00:44:17They probably did, but you gotta give credit to all four of these guys.

00:44:20That was one phenomenal tag, man.

00:44:22Good stuff.

00:44:23Will Kurt Angle come up on the winning end at Judgment Day when he faces that man Edge?

00:44:29Hair versus Hair.

00:44:31Take another look, Taz, and the attempted Olympics play.

00:44:34There was a nice roll-up by Balbozki, but, hey, I've never seen it.

00:44:37With that bump, he had a look there.

00:44:39A Dornan dog delivered the kick, and Kurt Angle.

00:44:42Kurt Angle took it in.

00:44:43And Kurt Angle's smart.

00:44:45He knows who's doing that, and he's got the Duke Chris team.

00:44:48Well, folks, tonight, the undisputed title on the line.

00:44:53The champ, Hollywood Hulk Hogan versus Chris Jericho.

00:44:56No disqualification tonight.

00:45:11Oh!

00:45:14Later on tonight, Chris Jericho has a chance to win the WWF title from Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

00:45:27Chris Jericho's got a great chance that Mr. McMahon kind of put a shield or arm around, didn't he?

00:45:33Jericho, the first ever undisputed title holder, and he has been clamoring for this champ since losing the title at

00:45:40WrestleMania.

00:45:41Chris Jericho deserves the title.

00:45:45Ladies and gentlemen, making his way to the ring, Chris Jericho!

00:45:51And Taz, remember the stipulations put in place for this matchup by Mr. McMahon.

00:45:55Number one, Hulk and Jericho, no disqualification.

00:45:58Number two, Triple H cannot touch Jericho before the conclusion of the matchup,

00:46:03or his career would be in jeopardy.

00:46:06And number three, the agreement of reciprocity.

00:46:09And a star like The Undertaker.

00:46:12The Raw cannot get involved in SmackDown or will be immediately suspended.

00:46:17It looks like the odds are in Jericho's favor.

00:46:19And number four, again, let's remember what The Undertaker did to Hollywood Hulk Hogan last Monday on Raw.

00:46:26We will be in a condition of Hogan here tonight.

00:46:29Everything's in place for Jericho to walk out the title.

00:46:38And the crowd in Pittsburgh begins the Hogan chants.

00:46:42Hulkamanias everywhere, Cole.

00:46:44You can't bring me down, you jackasses!

00:46:48You can't bring me down!

00:46:51Because tonight, I am the king of the world!

00:46:56King of the world, there he is!

00:46:59The king!

00:46:59I am the Mac Daddy!

00:47:02Mac Daddy!

00:47:05Because last week on SmackDown, I beat Triple H fair and swear!

00:47:12I pinned his shoulders to the mat!

00:47:14And I earned my right to face Hollywood!

00:47:19Hulk has been!

00:47:21What is he talking about?

00:47:22The Undertaker screams the place!

00:47:24For the Undisputed Championship tonight!

00:47:28And I'm gonna do what the game, or maybe I said, say, the shame!

00:47:36I'm gonna do what the shame couldn't do at Backlash!

00:47:40I'm going to beat Hogan!

00:47:42And I'm gonna once again become your Undisputed Champion!

00:47:49He might be right, Cole!

00:47:50The odds are in his favor, I'll give him that!

00:47:52Oh yeah!

00:47:53But there's more!

00:47:55The best part is this!

00:47:56Tonight, I am also going to do what every single WWF superstar has always wanted to do!

00:48:04Tonight, I am gonna do something that's further gonna cement my status!

00:48:09As a true living legend in this business!

00:48:13Tonight, I am going to drive a stake through the heart of Hulkamania!

00:48:20So many have tried!

00:48:22That's the key word, tried!

00:48:27Hulkamania ends tonight!

00:48:30Hulkamania is not running wild in this crappy town!

00:48:35No! No, no, no!

00:48:37Tonight, Hulkamania is running out of time!

00:48:43Yeah!

00:48:45Here are the seconds!

00:48:46Here are the seconds!

00:48:47Take away!

00:48:47Here are the time!

00:48:49Running out!

00:48:50Shhh! Shhh!

00:48:50Listen! Shhh!

00:48:52Shhh! Shhh!

00:48:53Shhh! Shhh!

00:48:53Listen! Shhh!

00:48:54Listen! Shhh!

00:48:55Quiet! Quiet! Shhh!

00:48:56Can you hear it?

00:48:58Can you hear it?

00:48:59I am...

00:49:00Oh!

00:49:01My!

00:49:03Well, the move...

00:49:04This is in Hulk Hogan!

00:49:08This is the game!

00:49:10And I don't know!

00:49:11This is a wise idea!

00:49:13Remember what Mr. McMahon said!

00:49:15Triple H cannot hold his hand on Prince Jericho on his career for the end!

00:49:21Career suicide!

00:49:22The game's about to get in!

00:49:25And Triple H with his eyes blind!

00:49:29Triple H has already been locked on Jericho!

00:49:30Triple H has already been locked on Jericho!

00:49:33Better not touch him!

00:49:35Ten days ago, Triple H stripped me out of the end of the title by the Undertaker's back-whack!

00:49:40Last week on SmackDown, Triple H flew out of a couple of style by the Undertaker on SmackDown!

00:49:47Well, wait a minute!

00:49:48But what about Triple H and Jamie Raw on Monday when he attacked the Undertaker?

00:49:53He wasn't in his right mind, but you considered when he attacked the Undertaker!

00:49:55Someone who was four hours earlier who complained Triple H for that vicious attack from Celestia!

00:50:01He wasn't in his right mind!

00:50:02Okay, that's a good excuse!

00:50:05And he should've stood in jail!

00:50:07Because he belonged there for invading world!

00:50:09Look at Jericho!

00:50:10It'd be just like him to jump Triple H from behind!

00:50:13And Triple H looking over his shoulder!

00:50:19And remember time, Triple H cannot lay a hand on Chris Jericho!

00:50:25And Jericho's killed his bitch!

00:50:28I don't believe that!

00:50:29He don't need it!

00:50:29But...

00:50:30I thought...

00:50:31Triple H was going right for Jericho!

00:50:34But you know what, Cole?

00:50:35The game ain't stupid!

00:50:37That boy's called the Screamer Assassin!

00:50:38He knows!

00:50:40He can't touch Jericho!

00:50:41He's got no way!

00:50:45Burned the hole of a gun!

00:50:46And Jericho looking straight at the back of that t-shirt!

00:50:50Triple H has screwed the rules!

00:50:53And really screwed Mr. McMahon's rules tonight!

00:50:57And look at nose-to-nose Jericho and Triple H!

00:51:00Triple H better not screw with the rules, or screw with Ms. McMahon!

00:51:08What are you laughing at, you loser?

00:51:14What are you smiling at, huh?

00:51:17I know why you came out here, though!

00:51:19I know why you came out here!

00:51:20You're jealous!

00:51:21You're jealous of me!

00:51:23You're jealous that I beat you last week!

00:51:26And you're jealous that tonight I'm going to regain the Undisputed Championship, aren't

00:51:30you?

00:51:30You're jealous of me!

00:51:31And the worst thing is, Triple H, there is nothing that you can do about it, is there?

00:51:39Cause if you touch me, then just like Mr. McMahon said, you'll be committing career suicide!

00:51:49You'll be ending your career if you touch me, Triple H!

00:51:55And I know you're mad because I was the first ever Undisputed Champion for four glorious months!

00:52:02And you were nothing more than a short-term, four-week embarrassment!

00:52:08Now, weren't you?

00:52:11You wanna hit me, don't ya?

00:52:14You wanna hit Chris Jericho, don't ya?

00:52:17Huh?

00:52:18You wanna hit me, don't ya?

00:52:20Huh?

00:52:20Well, I'll tell you what!

00:52:22Why don't you ball up that giant fist and punch me right in the face right now!

00:52:28Don't do it, gang!

00:52:29That's what you wanna do!

00:52:31Huh?

00:52:32That's what these jackasses want you to do!

00:52:37Come on!

00:52:38Come on, punch me in the face!

00:52:40Punch me in the face, you son of a bitch!

00:52:42This is tough to take, Paul!

00:52:44I'll make it easy for ya!

00:52:46I'll stick my chin right in your face!

00:52:48Come on!

00:52:48Punch me right here!

00:52:50Punch me right here!

00:52:51I'm even gonna close my eyes!

00:52:53Come on, punch me right here!

00:52:54How much could Triple H take?

00:52:57What are you doing?

00:52:59Punch me!

00:53:00Stop smiling and punch me!

00:53:03Knock that stupid smile off your face and punch me right now!

00:53:05It's like Jericho's getting frustrating!

00:53:08Alright, I get it!

00:53:11I know why you don't wanna punch me!

00:53:12You're scared of Chris Jericho, aren't you?

00:53:15Huh?

00:53:16I thought you were some kind of tough guy!

00:53:18Screw the rules, you said!

00:53:20You're scared of me!

00:53:21Well, you know what, Triple H?

00:53:23You can't stop me!

00:53:25And The Undertaker can't stop me!

00:53:28Because tonight, I'm gonna end Hulkamania!

00:53:31And I'm gonna regain the undisputed World Wrestling Federation Championship!

00:53:37And nobody can change that!

00:53:40Junior!

00:53:47Chris, I'm not smiling because I wanna punch you.

00:53:51I'm smiling because I know something that you don't.

00:53:54What?

00:53:57I don't know.

00:54:00And that is the fact that there is no chance in hell that you will become the undisputed champion tonight!

00:54:14How's that, Junior?

00:54:16What did he mean by that?

00:54:19Triple H knows something Jericho doesn't know!

00:54:22Triple H promises Jericho won't win the title tonight!

00:54:26Well, what does he know?

00:54:28He's a right scientist in the game!

00:54:30He's got something up his sleeve!

00:54:32Oh, this is gonna be something!

00:54:35Watching this night unfold!

00:54:37Jericho won't win the title, but Triple H promises Jericho won't win!

00:56:39and Pensacola, Florida!

00:56:45And his partner weighing in at 282 pounds, Ted!

00:56:51This guy here, Ted, along with Christian, the great leaders of the doubters of Mark Henry!

00:56:56Well, you know, I don't know why they would doubt Mark Henry.

00:57:00I mean, look at Mark Henry, he's felt like a small, smaller car!

00:57:03I mean, you gotta think he can lift some stuff up!

00:57:07He's the world's strongest fan, Mark Henry!

00:57:09And look at Mark Henry, you're looking at Justin, Christian!

00:57:12That's the anger that I've been talking about!

00:57:14I had the opportunity to talk to Mark Henry a little bit earlier on today!

00:57:17Well, you didn't talk to Mark Henry!

00:57:19I had the opportunity to talk to Mark Henry earlier on, and Mark basically told me that he's upset with

00:57:22people, that they don't believe that he can actually do these things!

00:57:25And each week he goes and proves that he is the world's strongest man, and there's still people like Tess

00:57:29who doubt it!

00:57:30Are you saying Mark Henry is, you know, not mentally there as far as, uh, his, his...

00:57:36He's not paranoid, is that what he's saying?

00:57:37He's not paranoid, he's just, he's just upset that people doubt him!

00:57:41How much more does this man have to prove?

00:57:42I don't think he has to prove nothing, I think Mark Henry's extremely strong-minded!

00:57:47I don't know why you're saying that about him!

00:57:48So it's Tess and Mark Henry, and look at Christian!

00:57:52Well, maybe it's Tess takes advantage, attacking Mark Henry from behind!

00:57:56You know, Farouk had a nice handful of money, you know?

00:58:00You know, he's kind of, uh, looking at Mark Henry as his meal ticket, I don't know, what do you

00:58:04think?

00:58:04Well, perhaps it's the double team by...

00:58:06Come on, Christian!

00:58:07And that is all power!

00:58:08All power by the world's strongest man, and Christian in a world of trouble!

00:58:12And somehow lands on his feet, Mark Henry missed with a close line, good thing!

00:58:17Look at the strength of Mark Henry!

00:58:19Mark Henry is a bull, period!

00:58:22Yeah, he is a bull, all right, and look at the strength of the world's strongest man!

00:58:28I don't know, watch this!

00:58:30No, Rich!

00:58:31The need is a wrench by Farouk, and Christian is in a world of trouble as Farouk begins the attack

00:58:39on Christian.

00:58:40Earlier on, Tess, we heard Triple H out here saying that, that he promises that Christian will not win the

00:58:47undisputed title tonight!

00:58:49Are you gonna have a test?

00:58:50I mean, you gotta figure what is up with the game, what's he got on his mind, he's got something

00:58:55going on!

00:58:56The game's up to something!

00:58:57According to Mr. McMahon, Triple H can't physically touch Jericho until that match is over!

00:59:02Maybe he's trying to mentally defeat Jericho as Triple H!

00:59:06And after we see the way Jericho just taunted the game, and the game was strong enough mentally not to

00:59:15touch Jericho, you gotta figure he's not gonna touch him during a match!

00:59:19Triple H may indeed get involved though, Tess, you don't know that!

00:59:22Through the rules is what Triple H says as Christian comes into the ring, and what a physical matchup this

00:59:27has become between Farouk, Mark Henry, Christian, and Tess!

00:59:32What is this?

00:59:36It's time to testify!

00:59:39What is Mr. McMahon's spiritual advisor, T-Von, doing here?

00:59:43For the T-Von Building Fund!

00:59:45Hallelujah!

00:59:46Oh, my brother!

00:59:46Thank you!

00:59:47Collecting for the Building Fund!

00:59:49Thank you!

00:59:50Give me a break!

00:59:51T-Von Building Fund!

00:59:53It's a terrible thing!

00:59:54Here's the cover by Farouk, and Christian just gets the shoulder up!

00:59:58We need donations!

00:59:58Cuz you see, money is the root of all evil!

01:00:02But-

01:00:03He's distracted every time he comes out here!

01:00:05I can change all of that!

01:00:07Testify!

01:00:08Farouk, who wants to contribute to the D-Von Building Fund!

01:00:13Farouk is distracted, and Mark Henry is as well!

01:00:16I'm distracted!

01:00:18My brother, don't stop me from doing the man's work upstairs!

01:00:22Come on with you, man!

01:00:23Look at that, Mark Henry!

01:00:26Excuse me!

01:00:26Hey!

01:00:27Hey!

01:00:28What the hell?

01:00:29Throw it over here!

01:00:30It's a miracle!

01:00:31What are you doing?

01:00:33Look!

01:00:36The D-Von from behind attacking Mark Henry, and now the world's strongest man in pursuit!

01:00:41He's holding back!

01:00:42Mark Henry in pursuit!

01:00:44Look out in the ring!

01:00:45Test this for the big boot!

01:00:46And Farouk, the spinebuster!

01:00:49Go!

01:00:50And Farouk in trouble!

01:00:51He's got a boot!

01:00:52Let's see!

01:00:53And Christian defeats Farouk!

01:00:56Got to call an upset!

01:00:58Warrior winners, Christian and Tess!

01:01:01Yeah, an upset because Farouk and Mark Henry were distracted by that D-Von!

01:01:07And how ironic that testing Christian steal one!

01:01:11Doesn't D-Von preach, thou shall not steal?

01:01:15You know, D-Von, earlier on, more and more than Mark Henry just sitting here from the building front!

01:01:20Well, what kind of condition, folks, has the WWF Champion, Hollywood Hulk,

01:01:25talking in after the brutal beating sustained at the hands of the Undertaker?

01:01:30We'll find out tonight, Hogan versus Geraltto for the title!

01:01:38Well, tonight's SmackDown Double Steel City, and the WWF Undisputed title is on the line!

01:01:44No disqualification, Hollywood Hulk Hogan versus Chris Jericho!

01:01:54A rematch from Backlash!

01:01:57Tajiri putting the title on the line!

01:02:02The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Cruiserweight Championship!

01:02:08Making his way to the ring, being accompanied by Tory Wilson from Japan!

01:02:11Weighing in at 206 pounds, the Cruiserweight Champion, Tajiri!

01:02:18Well, ten days ago at Backlash Taz, Tajiri and Billy Kidman had a spectacular match,

01:02:23and it is a shame it had to end the way that it did!

01:02:26Billy Kidman was in control of the match-up, but check out what Tajiri did!

01:02:31Oh yeah, and this, right there, that shows it!

01:02:33Just spilling that red stuff right in Kidman's face!

01:02:36And getting the Cruiserweight title!

01:02:38And the referee was shielded, Tajiri wins the gold!

01:02:43And there's Tory still in that humiliating geisha outfit!

01:02:47She's gotta take that thing off!

01:02:51And from Allentown, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 215 pounds, Billy Kidman!

01:02:57Kidman got some semblance of revenge right here last week on SmackDown when he picked Tajiri in a six-man

01:03:02match!

01:03:03But it would be the ultimate revenge tonight to win back the gold here on SmackDown!

01:03:07No doubt, Kidman had a taste of that cruiserweight gold, and you know Kidman's gotta want it back!

01:03:12He's got a great opportunity tonight against Tajiri!

01:03:15You know, you asked the question a few moments ago, why doesn't Tory take the geisha outfit off?

01:03:19Yeah!

01:03:19Because Tajiri won't let her!

01:03:21Why does she take it off, like, right now, like, from this table or something?

01:03:24And Tajiri goes to work the Japanese buzzsaw with a quick feet to the legs of Billy Kidman!

01:03:29Cruiserweight title on the line!

01:03:31I'll tell you, this is the Cruiserweight division on SmackDown!

01:03:34And many more Cruiserweights to come!

01:03:36It's gonna be a spectacular part of the showcase!

01:03:38Ooh, nice arm drag!

01:03:39Look at that!

01:03:40This Cruiserweight stuff has been on fire!

01:03:42It's a great division!

01:03:43It's an exciting match!

01:03:45And Tajiri off the road!

01:03:46Wow!

01:03:46Big takedown of Billy Kidman!

01:03:47And the champion in control!

01:03:49Drop kick right to the kneecap!

01:03:51You don't see that often!

01:03:51That hurts!

01:03:53And you know, Tessa, still to come tonight!

01:03:55It's Hogan and Jericho for the title!

01:03:57Will we see the end of Hulkamania tonight?

01:04:01You know, some people thought that, you know, Hollywood Hulk Hogan would forfeit the title

01:04:05because he got his ass whooped against the Undertaker Monday night, but he's not fought for it, man!

01:04:09He's here to fight tonight against Jericho!

01:04:11And look at this!

01:04:12Tajiri!

01:04:12Ooh!

01:04:13That'll reach a knee!

01:04:14Tajiri doing it, man!

01:04:15Singling it out!

01:04:16That knee, that leg of Kidman, and Tajiri will just pick apart the leg!

01:04:21And Tajiri's methodically very smart!

01:04:24Oh, look out!

01:04:25Billy Kidman up over the top!

01:04:26Good on the champion here!

01:04:27Two!

01:04:28And a kick out!

01:04:28Beautiful counter with a sunset flip!

01:04:31And Billy Kidman, Tajiri, again!

01:04:33Ooh!

01:04:34What a leg!

01:04:34Let's take that!

01:04:35Highest leg drag right there by Tajiri!

01:04:37Tajiri's quick!

01:04:38I'll get in the room with Tajiri, believe me!

01:04:40He's so fast from the way he's going, way he's going!

01:04:42Well, you know, Tajiri with great strategy, working on that leg of Kidman to drown the Kidman's

01:04:48aerial attacks to take away that shooting star pressed!

01:04:52What a shot!

01:04:55Kidman is in serious trouble here!

01:04:57I don't even know if he can walk it!

01:05:00Tajiri wants him to get up and just kick him right in the hamstring!

01:05:05Referee Brian Hebner really has to seriously think about asking Kidman to go on!

01:05:09And, well, there's your answer!

01:05:10Injigiri to the back of the head of Tajiri!

01:05:13Yeah, but Kidman landed on his own knee by nailing that Injigiri!

01:05:16Kidman's hurting a lot right now!

01:05:18He's living around there!

01:05:20Kidman's battling back, the title's on the line!

01:05:24Listen to this crowd, it's getting with Kidman!

01:05:27Kidman's a tough dude, though, man, he ain't got no equipment!

01:05:30And you watch that gold back!

01:05:33Oh!

01:05:33Oh, what a counter!

01:05:35Kidman with a drop kick to the back, hook in the leg, title's up in!

01:05:38And Tajiri just gets the shoulder up again, and I think Tajiri was surprised by Kidman that time!

01:05:43Sure, you're going for a handspring back elbow, next to know you're kicked in the back of your head!

01:05:48Two tremendous cruiserweights going at it in the matchup!

01:05:51Tajiri misses with a big leg, and Kidman lands on his feet!

01:05:54Oh!

01:05:55There's a kick to the face, and you saw that time, Taz!

01:05:58Kidman couldn't quite get his balance, that leg, the left leg still bothering him as he lands on the mat!

01:06:04Exactly, it's like a, you know, like a table!

01:06:06You know, Kidman's got one leg right now!

01:06:08Oh, look at this!

01:06:09Oh, what a counter by Kidman!

01:06:10Could have a new champion here!

01:06:12Two, and Tajiri just gets the shoulder up once again!

01:06:16Fast action from the cruiserweights!

01:06:20You know, you gotta give Kidman credit though, Poe, when he got that red stuff spewed in his face!

01:06:24He didn't complain about it and cry about it!

01:06:26A shot!

01:06:27A cover by Tajiri!

01:06:28And Kidman just gets the shoulder up before the count of three!

01:06:31You know what I mean?

01:06:31A lot of guys would be whining and crying,

01:06:33Oh, I want another shot!

01:06:34You know, I got spewed in my face with red stuff!

01:06:36He didn't cry about it!

01:06:37He didn't complain at all!

01:06:38He knew he'd get a shot and he's getting that rematch tonight!

01:06:40Tarantula!

01:06:41Here it comes!

01:06:41He went for the tarantula!

01:06:43Kidman with a tremendous counter!

01:06:45Kidman's on tonight, even though he's got his leg picked apart!

01:06:48Kidman's looking good!

01:06:49And Kidman telling Tori to get it away!

01:06:51Look at Tajiri!

01:06:52That damn Tajiri just caught his girlfriend in front of Kidman!

01:06:56Oh, what a coward!

01:06:57And a shot to the back of the head!

01:06:59It's a coward with a big headache, he just got cracked in the head!

01:07:01Can you believe Tajiri just used his girlfriend as a shield?

01:07:05And there's a shot to the back of the head again!

01:07:08Hook of the leg!

01:07:09And the champion wins this one!

01:07:14Here is your winner, and still, Cruiserweight Champion,

01:07:19Tajiri!

01:07:20And I bet that Tajiri to get out and check on his girlfriend for God's sake!

01:07:23Now, man, that wasn't cool at all, man!

01:07:24That Tajiri pulling her away like that, pulling her away!

01:07:27That was not cool!

01:07:28If you see Kidman here, I believe, yeah, he's waving Tori out of the way!

01:07:33And look at Tajiri pulling his girlfriend in front of Kidman,

01:07:37using Tori as a shield!

01:07:39Ooh!

01:07:39And then the shot to the back of the head!

01:07:41Talk about a snake, huh?

01:07:43That wasn't cool at all!

01:07:44And look at Tajiri, at least help the poor woman up!

01:07:47They don't care!

01:08:02Um, if you, uh, would you do me a favor?

01:08:05Sure.

01:08:06What I'd like is, uh, um, I need to have a discussion with Triple H.

01:08:12Shh!

01:08:13So would, uh, would you mind bringing Triple H to the office for me?

01:08:16Sure.

01:08:17Sure.

01:08:17Thanks.

01:08:30Well, thank you very much, Stacy.

01:08:33Uh, would you mind giving me a cup of coffee?

01:08:36Oh, any coffee.

01:08:37Oh, thank you very much.

01:08:40Whew.

01:08:43Oh, so what brings you, oh, that's right, I asked you to come here.

01:08:46Um, listen, uh, pal.

01:08:50Since, uh, I guess we're still officially related until the divorce goes through,

01:08:56so, uh, as a member of my immediate family, it's my duty to inform you that, uh,

01:09:01if you insist in physically inserting yourself into this Hogan-Jericho match,

01:09:05don't test me, don't try me, your career is done.

01:09:13Over.

01:09:14As in, game over.

01:09:24You done?

01:09:31Yeah, I'm done.

01:09:33Good.

01:09:41What does Triple H have up his sleeve?

01:09:44I don't know.

01:09:44And will Chris Jericho become the new Undisputed Champion?

01:09:48We'll find out Jericho Hogan next!

01:10:05This is the opportunity Chris Jericho has been waiting for since WrestleMania!

01:10:12A shot at the Undisputed title!

01:10:18Following it's a no-disqualification match, and it is for the Undisputed World Wrestling Federation Championship.

01:10:26It is in the challenger from Winnipeg, Panatova, weighing in at 227 pounds, Chris Jericho!

01:10:35Well, you gotta admit, everything's in place for Chris Jericho tonight!

01:10:39Just might be him next to become Undisputed WWF Champion again!

01:10:43Mr. McMahon has helped give Jericho a unique advantage!

01:10:49Not only did he make the match no disqualification, Mr. McMahon put into place this stipulation that Triple H could

01:10:56not physically touch Jericho doing this match!

01:10:59And, The Undertaker won't be here because of an agreement reached between Flair and McMahon that storms from each brand,

01:11:07can't cross over to the other brand or they'll be suspected!

01:11:12Hogan has got in hell if he got destroyed by dead men, it ain't gone wrong!

01:11:17Hogan cannot be 100% better!

01:11:20I don't think she would work!

01:11:28And, the next against right of the ring, holding in a charge of 85 pounds, he is the Undisputed World

01:11:36Wrestling Federation champion, Hollywood Hulk!

01:11:41Who?!

01:11:42I agree with ya, Jazz! How can Hollywood Hulk Mogan be 100% the vicious, the brutal assault at the

01:11:50hands of the number one player?

01:11:51The Undertaker, The Undertaker, on Raw.

01:11:55No doubt, but I gotta say, Hogan is looking,

01:11:58so that's a good shot for him.

01:11:59Jimmy Hendrix is jamming.

01:12:02The Hulkamaniacs could give Hogan

01:12:05the inspiration he needs tonight.

01:12:08Can Hogan dig deep one more time?

01:12:11How much does Hogan have left?

01:12:14This Hulkamaniac thing is insane, man.

01:12:17It's been going on for years.

01:12:18It's just like a trend, it's like a style.

01:12:21People just dig it.

01:12:23Hulkamaniac is one-on-one.

01:12:25And you know Hulk Hogan, Tess.

01:12:27You know this man.

01:12:29If you know and you know this qualification matchup,

01:12:33that Hogan will pull out all the stops

01:12:35to hold on to his title.

01:12:39No doubt, Hogan knows the deal.

01:12:41He knows he's been able to press Chris Jericho,

01:12:43and Hogan knows he's hurting.

01:12:45But that's what the overall, that man needs you.

01:12:48And listen to this crowd.

01:12:50The greatest comeback story

01:12:52in the history of sports entertainment.

01:12:55Hogan winning the WWE title

01:12:58and backlash 10 days ago.

01:13:01And I still get chills.

01:13:03What is he about?

01:13:03But will it end tonight?

01:13:05That's your question.

01:13:07It's just very well end at the hands of the first ever

01:13:11Undisputed Champion, Chris Jericho.

01:13:17And Jericho believes that he has so much to have in this match.

01:13:22A four-plus reign is Undisputed Champion.

01:13:26Here is the title at Triple H at WrestleMania,

01:13:29and a chance to get it here tonight.

01:13:31Chris Jericho knows how important an Undisputed title is.

01:13:34Chris Jericho, remember we say time and time again,

01:13:37is the first ever Undisputed Champion, not Hogan.

01:13:47No disqualification, Hogan, Jericho, right here, right now.

01:13:52Lock up center of the ring.

01:13:54I don't know if Hogan with the strength advantage over Jericho.

01:13:58Oof, the traps on Hogan, he looks good, man.

01:14:01And if you're Chris Jericho, you don't wanna get in

01:14:03to a power match against Hogan.

01:14:05Uh-uh, especially with all these people behind Hogan,

01:14:07and the shape that Hogan's in, Hogan is, you know,

01:14:10the master of being a Hulkamania.

01:14:11Well, he's in tremendous shape, but easy 100%.

01:14:14The Undertaker people held out of Hogan on World Cup tonight,

01:14:17but Hogan off to a good start in his matchup.

01:14:20Jericho might have just hurt his foot kicking off table.

01:14:23Well, he's frustrated.

01:14:24Hogan, twice in a row, knocked Jericho down.

01:14:27A little humiliation for people.

01:14:29The master of humiliation, Mr. Jericho.

01:14:32You know, maybe Jericho's just trying to feel hard now.

01:14:34She's just not watching these people.

01:14:36Hogan, Hogan, Hogan, Hogan, Hogan!

01:14:40I can't believe this Hulkamania thing.

01:14:42And Hogan with a side headlock on Chris Jericho again.

01:14:45No disqualification match for the unspeed title.

01:14:47Hollywood Hulk Hogan won the goal 10 days ago against Triple H.

01:14:52Jericho going for a top wrist lock.

01:14:54Again, he's trying to match power with the Hulkster.

01:14:57Hogan, Hogan, Hogan's strong as hell.

01:14:59He's squeezing Jericho's head.

01:15:01Hogan off the hook.

01:15:03Y2J, Chris Jericho.

01:15:06Seems like both these men are feeling each other out a little bit right now.

01:15:10And Hogan with a nice hit on Jericho.

01:15:13Hogan scoop slam to Y2J, and Jericho's been able to muster no offense

01:15:19in the early going against the champion.

01:15:21And the champion, Hogan, you know, got a two-on-one there.

01:15:24Going for an arm ringer, going for another arm ringer.

01:15:27Trying to get some pressure on Jericho's left arm.

01:15:29On the line, elbow on the shoulder of Chris Jericho.

01:15:34Another one by Hogan as he looks clear down the left arm and Jericho with a rake of the eyes.

01:15:39And now, Hogan comes to Hogan, and Jericho starts to build some momentum.

01:15:43There you go.

01:15:44Tomorrow's where Jericho is crying to wrestle Hogan's man.

01:15:47And look at those fucking humiliating Hogan, wiping his pits with Hogan's bandana.

01:15:52Well, Jericho ain't got no respect, everybody knows that.

01:15:54That's a quality that Chris possesses.

01:15:58And now again, Maka now, Hogan and his Hulkamaniacs.

01:16:03And Jericho misses the elbow, and Hogan quickly back to his feet.

01:16:07And out of the white hands by the champion.

01:16:10Looks like Hogan's head's taped up a little bit from the weight belt.

01:16:13And you see after the bandana was taken off, and Bandits was on the forehead task.

01:16:21And an elbow to the face of Hogan by Jericho.

01:16:29And now Y2J comes off the ground to go to the top ropes.

01:16:32But a little too much talking by the brass and arrogant Jericho.

01:16:36What's that about?

01:16:38Top rope, and Hogan in control.

01:16:40Can't match power with Hogan.

01:16:42Jericho needs to try and out quick, Hogan.

01:16:44And try and go through.

01:16:45He's asleep to his advantage.

01:16:46Hogan again begins the assault.

01:16:48Jericho's also gotta stop showboating.

01:16:50A veteran like Hogan, you have no chance.

01:16:53The showboating's gonna cost you, and it just did that time.

01:16:56I think Jericho might be trying to prove himself.

01:16:59He's got nothing to prove.

01:17:00He's got nothing to prove.

01:17:01Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

01:17:07And Hogan in control, and a low blow, a low blow by Jericho.

01:17:12Well, that took a lot out of Hogan right there.

01:17:14Yeah, that was a big fall for the second turnbusters.

01:17:17And now Jericho, the undisputed title on the line.

01:17:21And you know Jericho will seize this opportunity that Hogan's hurting it down.

01:17:25Jericho will pick the pot.

01:17:27That's the thing about Chris Jericho's task.

01:17:29He'll seize every opportunity.

01:17:31He's tremendous.

01:17:32He's resilient.

01:17:33He always seems to get things done, and you can never ever count Jericho out.

01:17:38Case in point, SmackDown last week.

01:17:40Triple H looked like he had the match won.

01:17:42Undertaker of fear, Jericho won the match.

01:17:46Shot by Jericho to Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

01:18:03And now Hogan begins the assault outside the ring.

01:18:16And Jericho turns the team.

01:18:19Working on the shoulder of Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

01:18:23Jericho looks to take advantage.

01:18:25One, two.

01:18:26Jericho from the top rope.

01:18:28Just the back of Hogan.

01:18:31Big double of Hogan from the top.

01:18:33You know Hogan's hurting now.

01:18:35Hogan back in the ring.

01:18:37Jericho trying to build momentum, and perhaps the blow to the back of Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

01:18:43Good signal.

01:18:44The beginning of the end of the champion.

01:18:46Oh, baby!

01:18:48What?

01:18:48His throat just went right across the top rope.

01:18:51Looks like Hogan's throat's hurting.

01:18:53Chris Jericho systematically, methodically begins the attack on Hogan.

01:19:00And Jericho across the ring and into the back again of the champ.

01:19:05And now the mockery and the humiliation of the champion by Jericho as the momentum is shifting

01:19:12the attack.

01:19:13Jericho's jacked.

01:19:14He looks good.

01:19:14He's taking the tape off his wrist.

01:19:16Yeah, no disqualification.

01:19:18This is legal.

01:19:19You know, I'm not gonna come out here and make excuses for Hogan's ass.

01:19:22But this man went through a brutal beating that was uncalled for and unfair on Raw Monday

01:19:27Night at the hands of The Undertaker.

01:19:29And Jericho, ever the opportunist, is now taking advantage.

01:19:32I agree, but Jericho is taking advantage, and so he should.

01:19:36And Jericho gonna work on that bandaged forehead of Hulk Hogan.

01:19:39And now Jericho off the ropes and wide to-

01:19:42No, no!

01:19:43The champion rolled out of the way.

01:19:46And does Hogan have something left?

01:19:48Here we go.

01:19:48The hoop inside.

01:19:50He was hulking up a second ago.

01:19:52The right hands from Hogan and Jericho.

01:19:55The scoop slam.

01:19:57And an elbow to the stern.

01:20:00And another one.

01:20:03Was hulking up Michael?

01:20:05Or off the ropes?

01:20:05Perhaps it could be-

01:20:09Hogan went for an elbow.

01:20:11And Jericho-

01:20:12I thought he was going for the leg too.

01:20:14I did too.

01:20:15And Jericho quickly to his feet.

01:20:18And now Y2J with a bulldog.

01:20:21Hold on.

01:20:23Jericho, Jericho, I thought Jericho was gonna be down and out.

01:20:26Lions all time.

01:20:27Jericho connects it over.

01:20:29Jericho connects.

01:20:29But wait a minute.

01:20:31It's the game.

01:20:32It's the game.

01:20:33It's the game.

01:20:34He can't touch Jericho.

01:20:35Triple H cannot.

01:20:36You're in a suicide.

01:20:37Don't touch a game.

01:20:39But Triple H promised Jericho would not win the title.

01:20:43And we're gonna look at Triple H in his face.

01:20:45What is he doing out here?

01:20:46He's gonna commit career suicide.

01:20:48That's what he's gonna do.

01:20:49I don't know about what it's called.

01:20:51Now he's going to make him smile.

01:20:54And again, what does Triple H know?

01:20:56And Y2J does it.

01:20:58Triple H is pretty cool, man.

01:21:01He knows what he's doing.

01:21:02Just as Chris Jericho is going for the cover of the victory.

01:21:05Triple H's music interruption.

01:21:07I think Triple H might really play a little head game.

01:21:10But let's do it.

01:21:10Shut the hell up.

01:21:11Triple H joining us here now at ringside.

01:21:14A game you promised that Jericho wouldn't win the title.

01:21:17It looked like Jericho was gonna pin Hogan for the victory

01:21:20before your music interruption.

01:21:22Well, the bottom line is he's not pinned.

01:21:24So, so far, my prediction seems to be true.

01:21:27And Jericho, as Hogan begins to battle back,

01:21:30remember Triple H, you cannot physically touch Jericho

01:21:33for its career suicide in Mr. McMahon's words.

01:21:37I'm not gonna have to touch him.

01:21:40Oh!

01:21:40It's obviously got something up his sleeve.

01:21:42Wait a minute.

01:21:42Covered by Jericho.

01:21:43Hook of the leg.

01:21:44Hogan just kicks out.

01:21:45He's got something up his sleeve, Tripp.

01:21:47I mean, what is it?

01:21:48What's the deal?

01:21:48No, I don't have anything up my sleeve.

01:21:50This is just, I called the Psychic Hotline earlier,

01:21:52and I got a good tip.

01:21:54The tip may be working now because Hulk Hogan is hooking up.

01:21:59He's hooking up.

01:22:00The people behind Hulk, the maniacs are behind him.

01:22:07Hogan blocks the right hand, and here comes the champion.

01:22:10Three, two, three.

01:22:12One, two, three.

01:22:13He's defeated the face by Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

01:22:17He could be over with it.

01:22:19In the situation could be coming through Triple H.

01:22:23Leg Drops coming.

01:22:25And look at Jericho taunt with the Leg Drop.

01:22:28He blocked his leg, and he's gonna go for the wall.

01:22:30Into the walls of Jericho.

01:22:32Hulk Hogan, will he tap out?

01:22:34Will the champion tap to the walls?

01:22:37Game, how bad do you want it to go punch Joe over this?

01:22:41I'd love to, I'm not gonna have to.

01:22:44It ain't worth it, right?

01:22:45I hear you.

01:22:46Remember the accomplishment,

01:22:48Characan, get in the back of Hogan going on, you're not gonna have to.

01:22:53What do you mean by that?

01:22:54Come on, Hogan.

01:22:55Extremely confident as Hogan draws, plays to the ropes.

01:22:59Can he make it?

01:23:00He does.

01:23:01Hogan's lower back has gotta be killing him.

01:23:04Hogan and Triple H involved in a kill of a match at Backlash ten days ago.

01:23:09No DQ, it don't matter, he can push the ref all he wants.

01:23:12Here's Jericho going in.

01:23:14Jericho is frustrated, he goes to the timekeeper, and Jericho with a steel chair.

01:23:19And this is completely legal.

01:23:20It's all legal, right in Jericho's hands.

01:23:23Hey, is it getting cold in here, guys?

01:23:25This is not, no, no, no, get cold in here.

01:23:29I feel the presence, almost like, is it The Undertaker here?

01:23:33Undertaker can't be here, McMahon said he can't be here, he's suspended.

01:23:36I hope The Undertaker doesn't come out here.

01:23:39I'll take Jericho.

01:23:41Wait a minute, what the, what the hell is this?

01:23:45The Undertaker can't be here.

01:23:47My God, The Undertaker's here.

01:23:49He's on his way, he's coming out.

01:23:51It gets Jericho waiting for the steel chair.

01:23:53I had a feeling this- Undertaker.

01:23:55Undertaker's gonna get suspended.

01:23:57I had a feeling this was gonna happen.

01:23:58Wait a minute, I think he's done.

01:24:00He's got Jericho on the wall.

01:24:02He's got it.

01:24:04Hogan wins.

01:24:04The second hotline was right again, mission accomplished game.

01:24:09Jericho attacking Hogan from behind.

01:24:11And there goes the game.

01:24:12And there goes Triple H's the game, and the match is over.

01:24:14And Triple H can attack Jericho, it doesn't violate Mr. McMahon's edict.

01:24:20Why two, Jericho, The Undertaker, but not here.

01:24:24Hogan is a player of Jericho, and coming up the road.

01:24:28Triple H had that hold to take a thing up his sleeve, and he wants Jericho, the WWE title.

01:24:36He didn't believe it was designed to lose by the Cerebral Assassin.

01:24:43Well, that's the name, Cerebral Assassin.

01:24:46And Hogan is still in the spirit of WWE.

01:24:49And Jericho is living.

01:24:52The game outsmarted everyone, maybe even McMahon.

01:24:57Triple H screwed Cristiano tonight.

01:25:01Come on, it.。

01:25:03Beware.

01:25:07Alright. Go.

01:25:08Portland.
