00:00:01Yes, sir, we promised you a great man here tonight.

00:00:04The last year is Andre.

00:00:05It's a child.

00:00:07Hulkamania is running wild.

00:00:09My God, what the hell?

00:00:10He's got some mail.

00:00:14It's not a world that's watching.

00:00:56We are nine nights away from Armageddon.

00:00:59And tonight, SmackDown, we are sure to have through the outlook on that huge event.

00:01:04Welcome to SmackDown.

00:01:05Michael Cole with JBL at ringside.

00:01:07And tonight, the world champion at the touchdown.

00:01:09The irresistible force meets the man who loves to fight.

00:01:14Tonight, don't SmackDown.

00:01:17Batista and Finley, one-on-one.

00:01:22Kennedy!

00:01:27Well, we are nine nights away from Mr. Kennedy's last ride match versus The Undertaker at Armageddon.

00:01:34And you see Mr. Kennedy glancing at that horse, which has been backed into the arena here.

00:01:45That horse has been out here all afternoon.

00:01:47You talk about the master of mind games.

00:01:50Kennedy is stepping in to an arena that I am not sure he knows what he's doing.

00:01:56And, John, it is a hearse like that one that will be used to haul away the fallen carcass of

00:02:03the loser of the last ride match at Armageddon.

00:02:07Because the rules of that matchup are simple.

00:02:09You incapacitate your opponent enough to put in the back of the hearse, shut the door, and the hearse drives

00:02:14away.

00:02:14You know all about the last ride match.

00:02:16You've been in one.

00:02:17Two years ago, with no mercy, I was in a last ride match, Michael.

00:02:21And I did not leave that match the same.

00:02:23I had 30-something stitches in my head from a tombstone on the stairs from being thrown through the table.

00:02:31The problem Kennedy has right now is The Undertaker really doesn't care if he wins or loses.

00:02:36He is out to tear Kennedy apart.

00:02:39And you saw the way Mr. Kennedy was surveying that horse, perhaps wondering, well, what was inside, if anything.

00:02:48And look at the confident, smug look on the face of Mr. Kennedy.

00:02:52Kennedy's wondering what the hell the hearse was out here for to begin with.

00:02:56All right.

00:03:05All right.

00:03:07Okay.

00:03:08Okay.

00:03:09I see how you want to play this, dead man.

00:03:12I see.

00:03:13I see.

00:03:16See, you think, you think, that by parking a hearse in the arena, it's going to get inside my head.

00:03:34Oh, yeah.

00:03:35I suck.

00:03:41See, you think, that by reminding me of our last ride match at Armageddon, you're going to throw me off

00:03:53my cane.

00:03:58But see, you need to think again, because you can't, you can't throw me off my cane.

00:04:09See, because I, because I happen to be the guy that already beat you twice.

00:04:25Remember, the first time was at no mercy.

00:04:30And the second time, I'm the guy that drew first blood at Survivor Series.

00:04:39So while you, you may think for a split second that you're inside my head, I know for a fact

00:04:54that I'm inside yours.

00:05:01And I am fully focused on my match, on defeating your brother Cain here tonight.

00:05:11And after I'm done with him, I'll be fully focused on defeating you at Armageddon.

00:05:31Oh, that's right.

00:05:34Because, see, while it may seem, while it may seem like you can intimidate me.

00:05:54That thing has been parked here all day, Michael.

00:05:57Yeah, but there's, I don't think there's anyone driving.

00:06:00I understand it's moving.

00:06:02When Mr. Kennedy looked at the window, moment to go, there was, there was nobody behind the wheel.

00:06:09Then who's driving?

00:06:12I, I, I, the damn thing, it's coming to the ring by itself.

00:06:17What the hell is going on?

00:06:18Cars don't come to the ring by themselves, Michael.

00:06:22Well, then how do you explain this?

00:06:23I just saw it.

00:06:25I'm not trying to explain it.

00:06:26I don't have to explain it.

00:06:28Cars don't drive by themselves.

00:06:33Mr. Kennedy, he's trying to figure it out like we all are.

00:06:36What the hell is going on here?

00:06:42That hurts back right up to the ring.

00:06:45Cars don't drive themselves, Michael.

00:07:03Oh, wait, oh, what the hell?

00:07:05Oh, my God.

00:07:06Oh, my, oh, my.

00:07:08It's the Undertaker.

00:07:09Oh, God.

00:07:10It's the Fino.

00:07:12The Fino.

00:07:13Face to face with Mr. Kennedy.

00:07:16We may not have to wait for him again.

00:07:19Here we go.

00:07:20Oh, jeez.

00:07:20Oh, my God.

00:07:21It's the Undertaker.

00:07:23Perhaps signaling the end.

00:07:27That's where, that's where Kennedy's going to ride out.

00:07:30You won't mind games.

00:07:32And the last right match at Armageddon.

00:07:34And Mr. Kennedy running from the ring.

00:07:36Running from the Undertaker.

00:07:40But at Armageddon.

00:07:41The people through the crowd.

00:07:43Kennedy's getting the hell out of town.

00:07:44And I don't blame him.

00:07:46Who would blame him for leaving?

00:07:48The damn car was driving by itself, Michael.

00:07:52That simply doesn't happen.

00:07:54It's not a car.

00:07:55It's a huss.

00:07:56It's...

00:07:57And that's exactly the vehicle that Mr. Kennedy may be hauled out in at Armageddon in the last ride match.

00:08:05He threw a pump car down for the Undertaker.

00:08:08I think the Undertaker has just picked it up.

00:08:19Ladies and gentlemen, coming up in minutes, WWE Champion, John Cena.

00:08:23An exclusive interview.

00:08:25We'll hear from the champ, Cena, immediately after this matchup.

00:08:28Of course, John Cena teaming with Batista to take on King Booker and Finley a week from Sunday at Armageddon.

00:08:36Cena has no business coming to SmackDown to aid Batista.

00:08:42I disagree.

00:08:43I disagree.

00:08:45I disagree.

00:08:57Nah, come on.

00:08:57I disagree with Theodore Long.

00:09:00Tag team champions set for action with a score to settle in this top title matchup here tonight.

00:09:06Last week, London and Kendrick taking on M&M, who were reunited for the first time in months.

00:09:11Remember, London and Kendrick won the tag team titles from M&M, but then Regal and Taylor, London and Kendrick's

00:09:17nemesis, got involved.

00:09:19London and Kendrick doing what they do best, crashing and burning.

00:09:23These guys are exciting, even when they lose, they're fun to watch.

00:09:30London and Kendrick losing to M&M thanks to those two men, Regal and Taylor, who have really become a

00:09:36thorn in the side of the tag team champions.

00:09:39It's because Regal and Taylor choose to become a thorn in the side.

00:09:44These two guys right here, Michael, were born to be in this business.

00:09:49And after my record of the team, Michael, William Regal and Dave Taylor.

00:09:55Two contrasting styles that save the race to this matchup.

00:09:59Regal and Taylor love to fight, punch you in the mouth.

00:10:03London and Kendrick love to fly.

00:10:06I love the matchup.

00:10:08Big matchup, and look at this.

00:10:09The tag team champions wasting a little time starting this match.

00:10:13London and Kendrick are going to fly.

00:10:16Check it out.

00:10:20You want to take it out of the English, you better take it to them just like this.

00:10:23Yes, I agree with what London and Kendrick are doing.

00:10:27Regal and Taylor may be the toughest tag team to have come along in a generation of WWE.

00:10:33William Regal owns a couple of singles wins over London and Kendrick in recent weeks.

00:10:40But this would be a huge victory if Taylor and Regal could pick it off in tag team action.

00:10:45And here is the champions, London and Kendrick, really taking it to Regal and Taylor.

00:10:50Here's the first cover of the matchup.

00:10:51Buck to the leg.

00:10:52Almost had him at two and a half.

00:10:54Smart.

00:10:54He had a chance there.

00:10:55Regal wanted to roll out, catch a breather.

00:10:57London stopped him.

00:10:58And these two guys, the amelioration of this tag team since they won the titles has been phenomenal.

00:11:04Ryan Kendrick in London winning the titles back at Judgment Day in May have held the gold since then.

00:11:09Ryan Kendrick perhaps using some of William Regal's own tactics against him.

00:11:14Some of that physical.

00:11:18And there's London in off the tag and working on that left arm of William Regal.

00:11:22This is what you really try to see out of Taylor and Regal, this type of offense.

00:11:27The way to win a type of match with Regal and Taylor is first, you've got to get their attention.

00:11:31And that's what London and Kendrick are trying very hard to do.

00:11:34Another quick cover, hook of the leg again and a kick out at two by Regal.

00:11:38John, we talked about a WWE champion, John Cena.

00:11:41We'll have comments here in moments immediately following this matchup.

00:11:44Those comments recorded at Monday Night Raw this past Monday night.

00:11:49There's the double team by the tag team champions.

00:11:51These two are so fun to watch.

00:11:54Here's a hook of the leg again and again a kick out.

00:11:56They're nutty as a squirrel's breakfast, but London and Kendrick are a pleasure to watch.

00:12:02Enjoy them while you can because the way they fly, they may not be around very long.

00:12:07Ryan Kendrick, film it with Dave Taylor.

00:12:10You see Ashley looking on a business manager, so to speak, for London and Kendrick.

00:12:15Although some people have speculated she may be more.

00:12:18If she would be, she'd be more.

00:12:20Ryan Kendrick.

00:12:21Got to wear Dave Taylor down.

00:12:24Kendrick, a hot little chick, but not near as hot as Ashley.

00:12:28What are you talking about?

00:12:29London in off the tag.

00:12:31And think about this, Regal.

00:12:33All of the beautiful women from Marilyn Monroe to Farrah Fawcett to Jessica Alba on the cover of Playboy.

00:12:39All the women in Hollywood would love to be.

00:12:41Ashley is going to be the cover girl on Playboy.

00:12:44Yeah, this coming spring, right around WrestleMania time.

00:12:47Right around April.

00:12:49I have a subscription.

00:12:51You do?

00:12:52And I'm not just going to look at the cover.

00:12:54I'm going to open it up.

00:12:55That does not surprise me.

00:12:56Sure, you use it for research.

00:12:58Absolutely.

00:12:59Regal coming in off the tag.

00:13:01Working on Paul London.

00:13:02Now they're taking down knee to the face.

00:13:04And what exactly does that have reference to?

00:13:06Research.

00:13:07What are you trying to say?

00:13:08Well, you do a lot of research for many of those other media outlets that you, you know, use a

00:13:12part-time work for.

00:13:13This is where London and Kendrick are awesome to watch.

00:13:17They fly around.

00:13:18They hit people.

00:13:19They'll take any risk in the book.

00:13:21As London is ripped across the ring, Regal misses with the big right hand.

00:13:25There's the crossbody.

00:13:26Lateral crest.

00:13:27Hook of the leg.

00:13:28And a kick out at two.

00:13:30Important matchup for Regal and Taylor here.

00:13:33And London went to skip the cat.

00:13:35And Taylor with a kick to the sternum.

00:13:37Referee never saw it.

00:13:39This is where they're dangerous.

00:13:41David Taylor comes from a family of wrestlers.

00:13:43His grandfather, Joe, in the 1932 Olympics.

00:13:47The 1942 Olympics.

00:13:49His father, Eric, for a 15 years undefeated British champion.

00:13:52Cover by Regal.

00:13:53London manages to get the shoulder up.

00:13:56In fact, David Taylor's niece, they're having wrestling for the first time in the next Olympics.

00:14:01She is going to be in it.

00:14:03You know, Regal is just grinding that knee and that knee brace into the face of Paul London.

00:14:08And Ashley realizes the tag champs are in a tough way here.

00:14:11They're not pretty.

00:14:12Regal and Taylor are not fancy.

00:14:15They're not pretty.

00:14:16They're simply effective.

00:14:18It's like a muggy.

00:14:19They beat people up.

00:14:20Like a bar fight.

00:14:22Hey, John, you know as well as I do.

00:14:24London and Kendrick are as tough as they come.

00:14:26London, they're proving it.

00:14:28I agree completely.

00:14:29I'm telling you the thinking.

00:14:30Look at that.

00:14:31Oh, wow.

00:14:33What a throw by Regal.

00:14:35I'm telling you the thinking of Regal and Taylor.

00:14:37I'm a fan of London and Kendrick.

00:14:39Here's the cover by Taylor.

00:14:40Kick out at two.

00:14:42I think they're as goofy as you can be, but as far as a tag team, phenomenal.

00:14:46Take another look at this throw.

00:14:48Wow.

00:14:50A win here by Regal and Taylor would put that weight in the tag team title hunt.

00:14:54Look at the full Nelson.

00:14:55Literally bringing Paul London off his feet.

00:15:02London trying to battle out of this Ashley, trying to get London back in the ball game.

00:15:06These SmackDown fans in the corner of the tag team champions.

00:15:16That's how you win tag team championships.

00:15:19That's the cheap shot.

00:15:20No, it's not.

00:15:21You take the opponent out of the equation and you do something quick to the other guy.

00:15:25Cover by Taylor.

00:15:25Kendrick breaks up the three count.

00:15:27He had to do that.

00:15:28It was a cheap shot by Taylor followed by a cheap shot by Regal.

00:15:32And the double team now begins just stopping, kicking away at Paul London.

00:15:38Much like you do it to a fallen man in a fight.

00:15:40Here's the cover and a kick out at two and a half by the ever resilient London.

00:15:45As the second most famous Texan wrestler ever used to say,

00:15:48they were stomping a mud hole and walking it dry.

00:15:51That'd be Stone Cold second to me, of course.

00:15:53Regal burying that knee in the spine.

00:15:56Right.

00:15:58Continuing the pressure on Paul London.

00:16:00They have successfully grounded London.

00:16:05This is what they had to do coming in.

00:16:07They have executed their game plan completely.

00:16:11Hence the pound and ground attack, so to speak.

00:16:14That was the unique counter.

00:16:16Almost a drop salt there by Paul London.

00:16:20But now he needs to get to the corner and make a tag.

00:16:23London has absorbed a tremendous amount of punishment.

00:16:26And Regal just laid the knee into the back of the neck.

00:16:29You notice what Regal did.

00:16:30London makes that move.

00:16:31But Regal was in between him and Kendrick.

00:16:35Dave Taylor with a drop kick.

00:16:37You see that often out of the Regal-Taylor tandem.

00:16:41What are you trying to say?

00:16:42They're not high flyers.

00:16:44They have a ground-based attack like you've been alluding to throughout the matchup.

00:16:47Thanks for listening.

00:16:48I always listen to you.

00:16:50Every once in a while, if you get the same,

00:16:52you'd be a halfway decent team.

00:16:55Don't want to be a team.

00:16:58Paul London in a bad way here.

00:17:04Taylor's hammered away with the right hands.

00:17:06And look at Paul London.

00:17:07You've got to give it to these tag team champions.

00:17:10Great heart, great resilience.

00:17:12Oh, and off the food of Regal.

00:17:14Of course you do.

00:17:15But you've also got to give it to the guys

00:17:17who are causing him to be resilient.

00:17:20And that's Regal and Taylor.

00:17:22They are mauling Paul London right now.

00:17:25It's a great way to describe it.

00:17:27Mauling.

00:17:29Paul London back to a vertical base.

00:17:32Smackdown fans have been trying to get London in the matchup.

00:17:34Paul London up over the top.

00:17:37Oh, and Regal missed with a knee.

00:17:39Regal makes the tag to Taylor.

00:17:40Can London get to Brian Kendrick?

00:17:42And Dave Taylor successfully

00:17:45keeps London from Kendrick.

00:17:47And now, look at how he's forcing London to look at his partner.

00:17:50And his partner cannot make a tag.

00:17:53Psychological warfare.

00:17:54Taylor is mean.

00:17:56Absolutely mean.

00:17:58He's not just a great fighter.

00:18:00He enjoys beating people up.

00:18:04That has got to be torture,

00:18:05realizing your partner's just about a hand away

00:18:08and you can't get to him.

00:18:09Look at Paul London.

00:18:11In deep trouble

00:18:12as Dave Taylor continues to work on the left arm,

00:18:16makes the tag to Regal.

00:18:17London cannot find a way to get out of this.

00:18:19Here's the way Regal had the arm.

00:18:20I mean, Taylor had the arm.

00:18:21Taylor was a two-year Sambo champion in the UK.

00:18:28Regal with the lefts and rights.

00:18:31Punishing forearms and fists.

00:18:33London, right to lefts,

00:18:35trying to battle out of the corner.

00:18:37Paul London desperately trying to back to the corner

00:18:40to Kendrick.

00:18:40And Regal with a knee to the gut,

00:18:42drops it.

00:18:43What happened to the tag champs again?

00:18:46Look at this.

00:18:47London is literally a hand away.

00:18:50It's a game to him.

00:18:52Uh-oh.

00:18:53London!

00:18:54Great counter!

00:18:55Can he make the tag?

00:18:56He's got to get to Kendrick.

00:18:58Actually realizes the importance of this moment.

00:19:01Tag me to Taylor.

00:19:02Here comes flying Kendrick.

00:19:03And Kendrick into the ring.

00:19:05The first man taking out Regal and Taylor.

00:19:09Kendrick flying everywhere.

00:19:12Knocking Taylor down.

00:19:14He'll kick to the jaw.

00:19:17Boy, ain't Kendrick all fired up.

00:19:19Got him on the ropes.

00:19:20Here he goes.

00:19:21He crawls out.

00:19:22Slap threat number two.

00:19:24Here's the cover.

00:19:25Puck to the leg.

00:19:26Shoulders down.

00:19:27He got it.

00:19:27No.

00:19:27Regal saved the matchup.

00:19:30It's anybody's ballgame.

00:19:32I got it.

00:19:32Oh, London back into the ring,

00:19:33driving Regal outside the ring.

00:19:35First team to make a mistake loses.

00:19:37Uh-oh.

00:19:39And Regal, the gentleman villain.

00:19:41Leave her alone.

00:19:41She's not doing anything.

00:19:43The gentleman villain is stalking her.

00:19:45Regal.

00:19:47And Paul London luckily coming to Ashley's aid.

00:19:52Paul London taking out Regal.

00:19:54And London and Kendrick coming to the aid of Ashley.

00:20:02What are they doing?

00:20:04Well, Brian Kendrick back up to the apron and Regal taking out Kendrick.

00:20:09Did you see the way Kendrick's head bounced off the apron?

00:20:12Dave Taylor, the legal man who can take advantage.

00:20:15Here's the cover.

00:20:17And Taylor and Regal have picked up the victory.

00:20:20This hell is wrong with London.

00:20:22Here he goes.

00:20:24Dave Taylor.

00:20:25And William Regal.

00:20:27Well, he was tending to Ashley.

00:20:30Tend to Ashley at nighttime.

00:20:32Tend to Ashley in the hotel room.

00:20:34I don't care.

00:20:35You got a chance to win a match right here on SmackDown.

00:20:39What the hell are you thinking tending to Ashley?

00:20:43Well, John, you know, in defense of Paul London,

00:20:45I don't think Paul London realized what was happening to his partner,

00:20:48Brian Kendrick at the time.

00:20:50In defense of Paul London, he needs to keep his head in the ballgame.

00:20:53Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's been a wild night already.

00:20:55He's back now to still become the world champion Batista in action against Finley.

00:21:00Now remember, a week from this Sunday at Armageddon,

00:21:02Batista will team with WWE champion John Cena against Kate Bunker

00:21:07in the fighting Irishman Finley.

00:21:09Well, earlier this week, Monday night at Raw,

00:21:12we heard from the WWE champion John Cena.

00:21:21Boys and girls, I have been so graciously invited to attend Armageddon on December 17th.

00:21:28An invitation which I excitedly accept.

00:21:32And on that very night, the WWE champion John Cena will be on the same side

00:21:38as the world heavyweight champion Batista, making history on the very first time.

00:21:45But it's also said that Armageddon is a final battle between good and evil.

00:21:54It's been said that Armageddon is the end of all things.

00:22:03Finley, I remember each and every beatdown that you've ever given me.

00:22:10King Booker, champion of champions.

00:22:15I remember having to kiss your feet.

00:22:24Gentlemen, a message.

00:22:26At Armageddon, you will find out why Dave Bautista is the world heavyweight champion.

00:22:32You will find out why John Cena clutches the WWE championship

00:22:37with such pride and intensity.

00:22:41At Armageddon, King Booker and Finley,

00:22:45simply put, you want some?

00:22:48Come get some.

00:22:55And now, the WWE Slam of the Week is brought to you by

00:22:59the Auto Parts Experts at AutoZone.

00:23:01Get in the zone.

00:23:03AutoZone.

00:23:04Tonight, in his first title defense,

00:23:07the new champ, Batista,

00:23:09who's defense against Finley and King Booker.

00:23:11Triple thruffles.

00:23:13Finley up high.

00:23:14Batista bump.

00:23:16He got him.

00:23:17Batista retains the world championship.

00:23:24Ladies and gentlemen, right now,

00:23:26we can direct your attention to the Titan Triumphs.

00:23:29It's the world heavyweight champion,

00:23:32Batista.

00:23:40Think about it.

00:23:42World heavyweight champion, Batista,

00:23:45teaming, tagging up with WWE champion, John Cena.

00:23:52Think about it.

00:23:54That's incredible.

00:23:55WWE champion, world heavyweight champion,

00:23:58in the same ring.

00:24:00It's never been seen.

00:24:01It's never been done before.

00:24:02It'll probably never happen again.

00:24:06Booker, Finley, you don't stand a chance.

00:24:12And Finley, you called me out.

00:24:15You said you want me one-on-one.

00:24:18I say be careful what you wish for.

00:24:21Because tonight, you're gonna get it.

00:24:27You see this?

00:24:28We get it.

00:24:29Look around.

00:24:30Everyone knows he stole my world title.

00:24:34And on top of that, Finley,

00:24:36you came up and you screwed it all up.

00:24:38I screw nothing up.

00:24:39I can be the world champion right now.

00:24:40No, no, no.

00:24:41I screw nothing up.

00:24:42All I done was come out and tell you

00:24:43something that really, really hurt your feelings.

00:24:46You have never beaten me.

00:24:48Never.

00:24:49I deserve a title match with Batista just as much as you did.

00:24:54You know the way I see it.

00:24:56Teddy Long is after me.

00:24:58And now he's after you.

00:25:00You're paranoid.

00:25:00He's won his vote in a match together.

00:25:03Tag teaming you and I.

00:25:05You think I want to be your team?

00:25:06And Armageddon against John Cena, the WWE champion.

00:25:10And Batista, the world champion.

00:25:13You know the way I see it.

00:25:14We need to be on the same page

00:25:15so we can go out here and get this business done.

00:25:19Are we in agreement, Finley?

00:25:22You talk too much.

00:25:24Let's take care of business.

00:25:27And then I'm going to go out here right now

00:25:28and knock Batista's head off.

00:25:31You do that.

00:25:32You do that.

00:25:42We are back off SmackDown

00:25:45with none other

00:25:46than the world heavyweight champion.

00:26:01What a journey it was at Survivor Series.

00:26:05The culmination of an 11-month battle

00:26:08to win back the world title

00:26:11that Batista had to relinquish due to injury.

00:26:15Batista back at the top of the mountain

00:26:18as world champion.

00:26:20If you call it winning,

00:26:22I call it cheating.

00:26:24But what about what happened last week on SmackDown?

00:26:26The triple-trump victory

00:26:28over King Mark Rick Finley

00:26:30for the champion.

00:26:40The triple-bet victory.

00:26:42Batista had more in his heart and his soul

00:26:44than I ever dreamed he had.

00:26:46But Michael, the fact that he's wearing that championship

00:26:48came from the fact that he cheated,

00:26:51I'll repeat, cheated the king.

00:26:56Rolling touchdowns in single four.

00:26:59What's all?

00:26:59From Washington, D.C.

00:27:03From Washington, D.C., weighing in a 290-pound

00:27:05is the world heavyweight champion, Batista.

00:27:12And a win from somebody on the get.

00:27:15Batista will team with the WWE champion, John Cena,

00:27:19against Tate Booker and Finley.

00:27:26Well, tonight's SmackDown is brought to you by Chili's.

00:27:29Good lovers.

00:27:30Right now, you can get two great cases

00:27:31and one plate at Chili's.

00:27:33Spice Delicious.

00:27:35And by durable, comfortable,

00:27:37through the loom.

00:27:39And by PlayStation 3, Play Beyond.

00:27:56And I simply do not understand the appeal of Batista.

00:28:00These Tagalakians down here love this guy

00:28:04when, in fact, he is a fraud.

00:28:07He is a sham.

00:28:08He is a sham of a champion.

00:28:10And I love to fight.

00:28:14And from Belfast, Ireland,

00:28:16weighing in at 283 pounds, Finley.

00:28:20So this is a non-title matchup,

00:28:22but an important one nonetheless for Finley.

00:28:25Couldn't catapult him into a top position

00:28:28to contend for the World Heavyweight Championship.

00:28:30Again, John, and Armageddon a week from Sunday,

00:28:33Finley will team with King Booker

00:28:35to take out Batista and WWE Champion John Cena.

00:28:39And talk about a hell of a team, Batista and Cena.

00:28:45Two champions on the same team, Michael.

00:28:47It's virtually unprecedented in tag team.

00:28:50I don't understand why Thaddeus Long

00:28:52felt compelled to go outside of SmackDown

00:28:55to find Batista a partner,

00:28:57except for the fact it's a conspiracy

00:28:59against Finley and the King.

00:29:01I don't think it's a conspiracy against anybody.

00:29:04I just think it's general manager Long

00:29:07doing the best that he can do for SmackDown fans.

00:29:11Give him a say.

00:29:12Well, let me tell you this.

00:29:13The egos of Batista and Cena,

00:29:16two egomaniacs.

00:29:18There's no way they'll get along.

00:29:20I would not go as far to call them egomaniacs.

00:29:23Batista and Cena, proud champions

00:29:26of both of their respective brands.

00:29:28And listen to the Batista champs.

00:29:30Batista! Batista! Batista! Batista! Batista!

00:29:37Batista! Batista!

00:29:38Batista!

00:29:38So it's the animal of Batista

00:29:39squaring off against Finley,

00:29:41a man who Batista knows very well.

00:29:44Remember a couple of months ago

00:29:45with that shillelagh Finley

00:29:48of beaten, battered Batista.

00:29:52So both men feeling each other out.

00:29:54Collar and elbow tie up center of the ring.

00:29:55And there is the power

00:29:57of the world champion, Batista.

00:29:59Batista needs to stay within himself.

00:30:01Stay with his core competency

00:30:03because he does not want to get

00:30:04into a fist fight with Finley.

00:30:07Oh, look at Batista!

00:30:09He is not going to take

00:30:12this bullying by Finley.

00:30:14Batista can bully

00:30:15with the best of them.

00:30:16Remember, Batista learned

00:30:18from the dirtiest player

00:30:19in the game, Ric Flair.

00:30:21And he also learned

00:30:22from the game Triple H

00:30:23when he was a part of Evolution.

00:30:25Finley grew up

00:30:27underneath his father,

00:30:29the Ireland's national coach.

00:30:31You want to talk about pedigrees,

00:30:32talk about Finley.

00:30:34Hey, they don't get much better

00:30:35than Triple H and Ric Flair.

00:30:37As Dave Batista and Finley,

00:30:38Finley ducks underneath,

00:30:39goes behind,

00:30:41and Batista backs Finley

00:30:41into the corner.

00:30:42For the champion,

00:30:43it is the power game.

00:30:44If you can take the power game

00:30:46away from the champ,

00:30:47you've got a chance.

00:30:48Did I say anything

00:30:49you can take away

00:30:50from Triple H and Ric Flair?

00:30:52What I'm saying is

00:30:52Finley grew up wrestling.

00:30:56And Batista driving that knee

00:30:57into the jaw of Finley.

00:31:01Finley, the roughhouser,

00:31:02almost a barroom brawler

00:31:03from Belfast, Northern Ireland.

00:31:06You grew up tiptoeing

00:31:07through the tulips.

00:31:09Don't get me started

00:31:10on WWE.com

00:31:11what you did

00:31:12during the break.

00:31:13What are you talking about?

00:31:14You should apologize

00:31:14to your mother and father.

00:31:16Why should I apologize?

00:31:17Go on WWE.com

00:31:18and find out.

00:31:19And look at the side headlock

00:31:21by Finley

00:31:22on the champion Batista.

00:31:25You kissed Vito.

00:31:27No, Vito attacked me,

00:31:29assaulted me at ringside.

00:31:30You're sick.

00:31:31I should go to

00:31:31general manager,

00:31:32Theodore Long,

00:31:33and lodge a complaint

00:31:34is what I should do.

00:31:35You should go to your parents

00:31:36and apologize for not

00:31:36being a man.

00:31:37And Finley,

00:31:39again,

00:31:39the psychological mind games

00:31:41that Finley loves to play.

00:31:42So much a part

00:31:43of Finley's arsenal.

00:31:45It's like watching

00:31:46Vladimir Kramnik

00:31:47right before he plays chess.

00:31:49The mind games

00:31:50is as much important

00:31:51as the game itself.

00:31:52Ralph Kramden,

00:31:53what?

00:31:53Vladimir Kramnik,

00:31:54he's the current

00:31:55world champion chess.

00:31:56He's a master.

00:31:57And you talk about me

00:31:58about tiptoeing

00:31:59through the tulips.

00:32:00And look at,

00:32:00I'm simply cultured.

00:32:01Finley and Batista

00:32:03with a test of strength.

00:32:04Center of the ring.

00:32:07Certainly working

00:32:07on that left arm

00:32:08with Batista.

00:32:10Elbow to the side

00:32:11of the head.

00:32:12Batista is so hard

00:32:15to combat.

00:32:19What did you just say?

00:32:20You're kissing Vito

00:32:21in the break.

00:32:22Now you're talking

00:32:23about Batista.

00:32:24You are sick.

00:32:26Could we maybe

00:32:27talk about...

00:32:28I would love to.

00:32:29You're the one

00:32:30tongue-throwling

00:32:31with Vito

00:32:31during the break

00:32:32WWE.com.

00:32:33Let's just let

00:32:34the footage...

00:32:35Your torpid commentary

00:32:36is not enough

00:32:37that I have to say.

00:32:39A little shell-shock.

00:32:41Torpid.

00:32:41It means dull

00:32:42and unenergetic.

00:32:43Okay?

00:32:43I'll explain

00:32:44all my words to you.

00:32:47Things are so much

00:32:48easier when Taz

00:32:49is out here.

00:32:50And Finley

00:32:51and Batista

00:32:52center of the ring.

00:32:53Finley go behind

00:32:53and now he's driving

00:32:54the powerful Batista

00:32:56down to his knees.

00:32:57And this is where

00:32:57Finley wants the animal.

00:32:59Wants him off his feet.

00:33:03Finley driving

00:33:03the point of that elbow

00:33:04and look at him

00:33:05pointing the elbow

00:33:06right on the nose.

00:33:07What's important here

00:33:08is that Finley

00:33:09is dictating the match.

00:33:10He's taking away

00:33:11what Batista

00:33:12loves to do

00:33:13and that's hit

00:33:13power move

00:33:14after power move.

00:33:16Definitely with a

00:33:17clothesline

00:33:18knocking Batista

00:33:18down.

00:33:19Suddenly the Irishman

00:33:20taking control

00:33:21of the matchup.

00:33:22Knee-of-the-face

00:33:22forearm-in-the-face

00:33:23cover kick out.

00:33:24Finley is making

00:33:25this match

00:33:26close infighting

00:33:27which goes only

00:33:28to one person's

00:33:29favor

00:33:29and that is

00:33:30the Irishman

00:33:30Finley.

00:33:31Smackdown fans

00:33:32have been wonderful

00:33:33all night tonight

00:33:34in Batista's corner

00:33:35as the champion

00:33:36makes it back

00:33:37to his feet.

00:33:39His forearm

00:33:40to the side

00:33:40of the head

00:33:41of Finley.

00:33:43Batista

00:33:43with a clothesline.

00:33:44That's like

00:33:45walking into

00:33:45a brick wall.

00:33:47And Finley

00:33:48makes it

00:33:48to the ropes

00:33:49wisely.

00:33:52He should break!

00:33:54Well he has

00:33:55a five count.

00:33:56Well he did.

00:33:57There you go.

00:33:58And you

00:33:58accept that.

00:34:00You rasterize that.

00:34:01You justify that.

00:34:03Finley does that

00:34:03you say

00:34:04as he cheats.

00:34:05No, not if he

00:34:05only if he goes

00:34:06over the count of five.

00:34:08And Finley

00:34:08outside the ring

00:34:10here at the

00:34:11announce table

00:34:12Batista

00:34:12with a right hand

00:34:13off the jaw

00:34:14and a world champion

00:34:16with knees

00:34:16to the midsection

00:34:17clubbing blows.

00:34:20Batista

00:34:21just a few feet

00:34:22away from him.

00:34:23Austin, he is a

00:34:23massive a man.

00:34:24Closest you've

00:34:25ever been to a five.

00:34:27Batista lifting

00:34:28Finley up

00:34:29on his shoulder.

00:34:30Finley's in trouble.

00:34:32Big in.

00:34:33And Batista

00:34:34well

00:34:35sending toward

00:34:35the steel post.

00:34:37Finley up

00:34:37on his shoulder.

00:34:39Thrust off

00:34:40the barricade.

00:34:42And a boot

00:34:43to the face

00:34:44strikes Finley

00:34:45into the crowd.

00:34:46Batista

00:34:47looks unstoppable.

00:34:48Can he keep it up?

00:34:50When we returned

00:34:51to SmackDown.

00:34:56And Batista

00:34:58working on Finley.

00:35:00We are back

00:35:01on Friday night

00:35:01SmackDown.

00:35:02Finley's in trouble.

00:35:04World champion

00:35:05Batista

00:35:05against Finley

00:35:06in this

00:35:07non-title matchup

00:35:09but an important one

00:35:09nonetheless

00:35:10for Finley.

00:35:11Important one

00:35:11nonetheless,

00:35:12Michael,

00:35:12because Finley

00:35:13all his life,

00:35:14the one thing

00:35:15he has wanted to do

00:35:15since growing up

00:35:16as a kid

00:35:17in tough

00:35:18Belfast, Ireland

00:35:19is to be

00:35:20a world champion.

00:35:21He beats

00:35:22Batista tonight.

00:35:23He may very well

00:35:24have that opportunity.

00:35:26Well, a week

00:35:27from Sunday,

00:35:28Finley will be

00:35:28in the ring

00:35:29with two champions.

00:35:30Batista

00:35:31the world champion

00:35:31teaming with

00:35:32John Cena,

00:35:33the WWE champion

00:35:35from Raw

00:35:35and all again

00:35:36against Finley

00:35:37and King Booker

00:35:38in what will be

00:35:39an explosive

00:35:40tag team matchup.

00:35:41Two champions

00:35:42and a king.

00:35:43You wonder why

00:35:45SmackDown

00:35:45is the premier show

00:35:47of the WWE,

00:35:48the cornerstone

00:35:49of CW Network.

00:35:50It's because

00:35:51we put on

00:35:52the best matches.

00:35:54We put them all

00:35:54out there

00:35:55just like this

00:35:56tonight.

00:35:56And Finley

00:35:57off that front face

00:35:58like climbing.

00:35:59Batista chin

00:35:59first off the apron.

00:36:01And this is where

00:36:01Finley is so dangerous,

00:36:03John.

00:36:04He's got Batista

00:36:05in a strong position.

00:36:06He delivers the elbow

00:36:08off the face.

00:36:09And look at the pace

00:36:09of the match,

00:36:10Michael.

00:36:10This is what is so important.

00:36:12You start analyzing

00:36:13a match and you realize

00:36:15Batista has shown

00:36:16a few bursts

00:36:17of that power

00:36:17that he is so capable of.

00:36:19And every time

00:36:19Finley has found

00:36:21a way to neutralize him.

00:36:22Come on, Batista!

00:36:24And Finley

00:36:25starting to trash talk.

00:36:27Trying to get in

00:36:28the head of the champion.

00:36:30Really working

00:36:31on the back

00:36:32of that neck.

00:36:33Driving full weight

00:36:34of his body.

00:36:36Look at that spot

00:36:37where the spine

00:36:38meets the neck there.

00:36:39And look at that.

00:36:40When Finley backs up,

00:36:41he breaks the four count,

00:36:42which is legal.

00:36:43He backs up

00:36:44just far enough

00:36:45not to give Batista

00:36:46room.

00:36:49Finley with a right.

00:36:51Oh, and there's

00:36:52a forearm

00:36:53by Batista.

00:36:54Both medics

00:36:55stage, he blows

00:36:55as the champ

00:36:56tried to battle

00:36:57out of the corner.

00:36:58But notice how

00:36:59Batista goes right

00:37:00for the knee

00:37:01to bring the champion

00:37:02down again.

00:37:04That's just

00:37:04Finley going after

00:37:05the knee.

00:37:06That's just

00:37:06brilliant strategy.

00:37:07Finley's the Irishman.

00:37:09Stumbled once.

00:37:10I apologize, John.

00:37:14Not accepted.

00:37:16Finley

00:37:16at below

00:37:17across the chest.

00:37:20Even though you have

00:37:21the names wrong,

00:37:21you're right.

00:37:22The one thing that

00:37:23Finley did,

00:37:24he started throwing

00:37:24blows back and forth.

00:37:26First thing Finley does,

00:37:27take advantage

00:37:28of the knee.

00:37:29The one thing

00:37:30Batista doesn't expect,

00:37:31he neutralizes

00:37:32Batista's power.

00:37:33This is a textbook

00:37:35example of how

00:37:36you neutralize

00:37:37a big man.

00:37:38Stute observation.

00:37:41Biggest word

00:37:41you've ever used.

00:37:43And look at,

00:37:43driving the knee

00:37:44to the neck

00:37:44and then the face,

00:37:45face first off the mat.

00:37:47Here's the cover,

00:37:48knee to the face

00:37:49for the kick out.

00:37:50All these unorthodox

00:37:51covers by Finley

00:37:53really do damage

00:37:54on his opponent.

00:37:55Because you make

00:37:56the opponent use

00:37:57extra strength

00:37:58to kick out,

00:37:59you bend his head

00:37:59over sideways.

00:38:00It takes strength

00:38:01out of the body.

00:38:05Batista driving knees

00:38:06and look at Finley.

00:38:07A thumb to the eye.

00:38:09That is typical

00:38:10Finley style.

00:38:12He'll do whatever

00:38:13it takes to win,

00:38:15even if it means

00:38:15bending or breaking

00:38:17the rules.

00:38:17You should do

00:38:18whatever it takes

00:38:19to win.

00:38:19You made a living

00:38:20out of it as champion

00:38:21for nearly a year.

00:38:22And a good living

00:38:23I did.

00:38:25It's about end results.

00:38:27Read Machiavelli.

00:38:29The end justifies

00:38:30the means.

00:38:34And Batista

00:38:36priming Finley

00:38:37kick the first

00:38:38to the apron.

00:38:39And there is

00:38:40that flash of power

00:38:41by the world champion.

00:38:44Finley sent back

00:38:45into the ring.

00:38:45Batista trying

00:38:46to shake the cobwebs.

00:38:47Notice how quickly

00:38:48the animal is back

00:38:49in on the assault.

00:38:51Not allowing Finley

00:38:52any time to recover.

00:38:56Uh-oh.

00:38:57De-press.

00:38:59Closed in the cover.

00:39:01Shoulder down.

00:39:02Kick at it

00:39:02two by Finley.

00:39:04Finley needs to find

00:39:05a way to neutralize him.

00:39:06Here's the cover again.

00:39:07And Finley squirts out.

00:39:08You see Batista

00:39:09still feeling the effects

00:39:10of the thumb to the eye

00:39:11by the Irishman.

00:39:13Smart by Batista.

00:39:15You got a chance.

00:39:16Hit him with a power move.

00:39:17Then find a way

00:39:18to hit him with

00:39:18another power move.

00:39:19See Batista

00:39:20keeps going to his eyes.

00:39:21The thumb to the eye

00:39:21blinds you

00:39:22momentarily, right?

00:39:24Really?

00:39:25I'm asking you a question.

00:39:26You stick a thumb

00:39:26in your eye.

00:39:27What do you think?

00:39:30Trying to have you

00:39:31provide some color.

00:39:32One, two, three.

00:39:34Batista driving that boot

00:39:35right up underneath the chin.

00:39:37Coloring is not answering

00:39:39stupid questions.

00:39:41Oh.

00:39:41Did you just say eight?

00:39:43Mr. No.

00:39:44I said coloring

00:39:45is not answering.

00:39:46No, you started

00:39:47to say eight.

00:39:48Call the match, moron.

00:39:50Good lord.

00:39:51Whipped across the ring.

00:39:52Batista kicked

00:39:53to the midsection.

00:39:54There's the blow

00:39:54to the back of the neck

00:39:55and the champion

00:39:57slowly but surely

00:39:58beginning to build

00:40:00momentum.

00:40:01He is feeling

00:40:02starting to switch

00:40:03a little bit in the match.

00:40:04This is where Batista

00:40:06needs to stay on top.

00:40:07Needs to stay

00:40:08in control of the power.

00:40:09He does want to turn it

00:40:10into an infighting battle

00:40:12because that's what

00:40:13Finley is so good at.

00:40:16Finley back to the corner.

00:40:18Batista wrapping the arm.

00:40:19Got him off me.

00:40:20Using the rope

00:40:21for leverage.

00:40:24The Irish whip

00:40:25across the ring.

00:40:28Need to the face.

00:40:30Why's that got

00:40:30that's Irish boots

00:40:31in the face?

00:40:31Finley caught in midair.

00:40:34Caught in midair

00:40:35by the animal.

00:40:37Oh, wow.

00:40:38Wow, is that power.

00:40:39Did you see

00:40:40how Finley's head

00:40:41snapped back?

00:40:42You gotta love that.

00:40:44John, we gotta take

00:40:45another look at this.

00:40:46This is straight out

00:40:47power by Batista.

00:40:48Not only power though,

00:40:50Michael, look at this.

00:40:51This right here

00:40:52will knock out

00:40:53your back husband.

00:40:56and Finley with a kick

00:40:58to the chest.

00:41:00And Batista

00:41:01grabbed his shoulder

00:41:02first

00:41:03into the steel post.

00:41:05You could hear

00:41:06the impact.

00:41:07You could hear

00:41:08the cry of anguish

00:41:09out of Batista

00:41:11when his shoulder

00:41:12went to the post.

00:41:15Let's take another look.

00:41:17Dicep this.

00:41:18Finley takes advantage

00:41:19of what he has.

00:41:21He has Batista

00:41:22outside the ring.

00:41:23The steel post

00:41:24right there.

00:41:25Finley will use

00:41:25anything in the ring

00:41:26that he has to

00:41:27to gain an advantage.

00:41:29It's like a chess match.

00:41:31You try to take

00:41:32the middle of the board

00:41:33and first thing you know

00:41:34you'll lose it

00:41:35because somebody

00:41:35sneaks a bishop in there.

00:41:37That's what Finley

00:41:37is doing.

00:41:38Finley driving the knee

00:41:39right into the shoulder.

00:41:41Another knee again

00:41:42by Finley.

00:41:43Suddenly the world

00:41:43champion's in trouble

00:41:44and Finley is in control.

00:41:46And this is where

00:41:47Finley's so dangerous.

00:41:48He is now picking

00:41:49apart a body part.

00:41:51That is the arm

00:41:52the shoulder

00:41:53of Batista.

00:41:55And you remember

00:41:56it was a triceps injury

00:41:58that forced Batista

00:41:59to relinquish the title

00:42:01back in January.

00:42:02Forced him to have

00:42:03surgery on it

00:42:04and missed months

00:42:05of action.

00:42:06And you think

00:42:07this is bad, Michael.

00:42:08Where do you see

00:42:08what Finley

00:42:09and King Booker

00:42:10both two ring

00:42:12veterans

00:42:13do to the champions

00:42:15Batista and Cena

00:42:16at Armageddon.

00:42:18True thing you can't

00:42:19coach, Michael.

00:42:20You can't coach

00:42:21youth

00:42:21and size.

00:42:23Athleticism.

00:42:24You can't coach that.

00:42:25You also can't replicate

00:42:26experience.

00:42:28And that's what

00:42:28Finley brings

00:42:29to this contest

00:42:31and what Finley

00:42:31and the King

00:42:32will bring to the contest

00:42:33at Armageddon.

00:42:35You've got youth

00:42:36and power

00:42:36on the other side

00:42:37in Batista

00:42:38and WWE Champion

00:42:40John Cena.

00:42:42Two men

00:42:42who really have

00:42:44paralleled each other

00:42:45in their careers here.

00:42:46Yeah, they've also

00:42:47paralleled each other

00:42:48in their size

00:42:49of their ego

00:42:50which is about

00:42:51the size of Jupiter

00:42:52our big show

00:42:53right now.

00:42:54You keep talking

00:42:54about ego.

00:42:55I don't see any of that

00:42:56out of the team

00:42:57that we'll see.

00:42:57Straight up with it.

00:43:00And Finley

00:43:00driving Batista

00:43:01again shoulder

00:43:03arm triceps

00:43:04first off

00:43:05that turnbuckle.

00:43:06John, when you've

00:43:07had an injury

00:43:07and you've had surgery

00:43:08to repair that injury

00:43:09and you've had some

00:43:11time off

00:43:11I mean how long

00:43:12does it really take

00:43:13to heal?

00:43:14Is that something

00:43:14that you're going to

00:43:15feel for the rest

00:43:15of your life?

00:43:16You're never going

00:43:16to be 100%.

00:43:17I had my first knee

00:43:18injury when I was

00:43:19a freshman in college

00:43:20to my last wrestling

00:43:22match that I had

00:43:23I still felt that.

00:43:24You try to cover it up

00:43:25but once it's attacked

00:43:27once Finley finds it

00:43:28you don't recover.

00:43:30It is always going

00:43:31to be weaker

00:43:32than the rest of your body.

00:43:33What about blows

00:43:34to the head JBL?

00:43:35Do they affect things

00:43:37you know

00:43:37accumulative effect

00:43:38over the years?

00:43:40Look at Troy Eggman.

00:43:41Start losing your memory?

00:43:43Slurring your words

00:43:44a little bit?

00:43:44You know saying eight

00:43:45and stuff like that?

00:43:46What do you think

00:43:46I have Danny DeVito

00:43:47on the view?

00:43:49That was interesting.

00:43:52You watch the view?

00:43:53Every once in a while

00:43:54I did see that episode.

00:43:57And Batista

00:43:58what is pure power?

00:44:00He just picked

00:44:00the man Finley

00:44:03Oh wow!

00:44:03Up on his feet

00:44:05delivered a Samoa drop

00:44:06but has the damage

00:44:07been done?

00:44:08And that's a counter

00:44:09you don't account for

00:44:10when you have the strength

00:44:12and the power

00:44:13of Batista.

00:44:14Uh oh

00:44:15Finley

00:44:15had the right hand blocked

00:44:16Batista blocks it again

00:44:18Batista with the rights

00:44:19of his own

00:44:20and the world champion

00:44:21is unloading.

00:44:23Finley into the corner

00:44:25what a clothesline.

00:44:30Oh wow!

00:44:32That'll knock your teeth out.

00:44:34Holy cow!

00:44:37That power slam

00:44:38by Batista

00:44:39and the animal

00:44:41is all powered up.

00:44:42Finley better find a way

00:44:44to make a counter

00:44:44because Batista

00:44:45is on the road.

00:44:47Spotbuster!

00:44:48And suddenly

00:44:48just like that

00:44:50the world champs

00:44:51is in control.

00:44:52Oh wait a minute

00:44:53Hey!

00:44:53It's that little bastard!

00:44:55That little troll!

00:44:56Caught in that air

00:44:57by Batista!

00:44:58Batista leave it alone!

00:45:00And the little

00:45:00upper car

00:45:01clashed on to Finley!

00:45:02What the hell's he doing?

00:45:03Picking on a midget!

00:45:05Oh look out!

00:45:09And Ken Parker!

00:45:11What is he doing out here?

00:45:13The former champ

00:45:14sent through the second row

00:45:16and Batista!

00:45:17Oh my!

00:45:19That looks like

00:45:19the hell out of Dodge!

00:45:24And from behind

00:45:26with a shillelagh!

00:45:28Finley!

00:45:30The shillelagh

00:45:31to the back of the neck!

00:45:34Florian Batista!

00:45:36And that Booker!

00:45:39Assaulting

00:45:40the world champion!

00:45:43That's Finley

00:45:44with a steel tail

00:45:45at hand!

00:45:46It's not looking

00:45:47good for Batista!

00:45:49Here we go!

00:45:50You talk about

00:45:51ring veterans!

00:45:52You talk about

00:45:52two guys that can

00:45:53get it done!

00:45:54You're talking about

00:45:55Finley and the King!

00:45:57They're about to

00:45:57send a message

00:45:58to the young champions!

00:46:00The world champion

00:46:01King Booker

00:46:02and Finley in the ring!

00:46:04Batista in a

00:46:05world of trouble!

00:46:06You can have

00:46:07all the gold

00:46:08in the world

00:46:09but there's

00:46:10nothing like it!

00:46:10Oh!

00:46:11A steel chair

00:46:12or a steel pole!

00:46:14A steel pole

00:46:15to that already

00:46:16injured left arm!

00:46:17The triceps area

00:46:19of Batista!

00:46:21Finley wearing

00:46:22the champion!

00:46:23And a steel chair!

00:46:25To that shoulder

00:46:29Good God!

00:46:46Cena wants to come

00:46:47to Smackdown!

00:46:48I suggest he bring

00:46:49his ass alone

00:46:50because he may step

00:46:51into Armageddon

00:46:52by himself

00:46:53with the King

00:46:54and Finley!

00:46:55A third time

00:47:10The target

00:47:10of an assault

00:47:11by the former champion

00:47:12and Finley

00:47:17That's a statement,

00:47:19Michael!

00:47:21You want to call

00:47:22these two out?

00:47:23You want Teddy Long

00:47:26to choose somebody

00:47:27knocking Smackdown?

00:47:29Well, look what

00:47:30Finley

00:47:30and Burkerti

00:47:31just did!

00:47:37Moments ago,

00:47:37nine nights away

00:47:38from the tag team

00:47:39out to Armageddon

00:47:40it was Batista

00:47:41versus Finley

00:47:42when King Booker

00:47:43would get involved

00:47:44and I'll tell you

00:47:45King Booker

00:47:46and Finley

00:47:47after Finley

00:47:48would deliver a

00:47:49well a shot

00:47:50to the back of the head

00:47:51with a shillelagh

00:47:52to Batista

00:47:53Booker and Finley

00:47:54would systematically

00:47:56destroy

00:47:57the world champion!

00:47:59These two guys

00:48:00Finley and the King

00:48:01knew exactly

00:48:02what they were doing

00:48:04exactly how

00:48:05to destroy

00:48:06Batista

00:48:07and I really hope

00:48:24earlier this year

00:48:25Finley

00:48:26continued the assault

00:48:29to Cena

00:48:30he take note

00:48:31of this

00:48:32before he agrees

00:48:33to come to Armageddon!

00:48:47Pulling is a

00:48:48number one

00:48:49contender match

00:48:50and the winner

00:48:51who plays

00:48:52the current

00:48:52weight champion

00:48:53of the world

00:48:53at Armageddon

00:48:55making his way

00:48:56to Armageddon

00:48:57Georgia

00:48:58weighing 200 pounds

00:49:00Jimmy

00:49:01WANG!

00:49:02Important matchup, John, because the winner, as Tony Chibble said,

00:49:06will face the Cruiserweight Champion a week with Sunday and on again.

00:49:15Jimmy Wain Yang.

00:49:18Like Jackie Chan and Daisy Duke out there, it makes me want to regurgitate.

00:49:24Why? Because he's got a hot blonde on the inside.

00:49:26Wait a minute.

00:49:30Well, there is the Cruiserweight Champion.

00:49:35Gregory Helms, well, he does have an interest in this matchup.

00:49:39He will face the winner.

00:49:40Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a longer great champion in sports entertainment

00:49:45and the Cruiserweight Champion of the World, Gregory Helms.

00:49:52Well, talking about Armageddon, this coming Tuesday at noon,

00:49:55live on WWE.com in Richmond, Virginia, the Armageddon Press Conference.

00:50:00Hello, champ.

00:50:02As the Cruiserweight Champion, Gregory Helms, joins us here at ringside.

00:50:06And this matchup's underway.

00:50:08Champ, thanks for joining us.

00:50:09And, well, you've got a vested interest in this matchup.

00:50:12You will face the winner, defending the title against the winner at Armageddon.

00:50:15I got to be honest.

00:50:16I'm happy to be out here, but I'm not happy about these stipulations

00:50:19because these guys, as good as they are,

00:50:21they don't belong in the same building as Gregory Helms,

00:50:23much less the same match.

00:50:24Jimmy Wayne-Yang has been very impressive over recent weeks.

00:50:28You are very impressive.

00:50:29How about Gregory Helms?

00:50:31Longest-rating champion in sports entertainment.

00:50:35And Gregory Helms, here with us at ringside,

00:50:39the Cruiserweight Champion looking on.

00:50:41Jimmy Wayne-Yang.

00:50:42And there's Jamie Noble, a former Cruiserweight Champion in his own right.

00:50:46I'll tell you, champ, you know,

00:50:48it doesn't really matter what people say about you.

00:50:50You have accomplished so much since winning that championship,

00:50:53the Royal Rumble, back in January.

00:50:55Oh, you hit the nail right on the head with that.

00:50:57I have defended this title all over the world

00:50:59against every single Cruiserweight that they put in front of me,

00:51:01including these two guys right here.

00:51:03Jimmy Wayne-Yang hasn't got a title shot yet,

00:51:05but to be honest, he hasn't done anything to show me he deserves it.

00:51:08The best thing about Jimmy Wayne is that pretty little blonde standing over there.

00:51:11Now, you know Jimmy Wayne-Yang.

00:51:13He claims to be from the South.

00:51:14He claims to be a redneck.

00:51:16What do you think about Jimmy Wayne-Yang?

00:51:17Jimmy Wayne-Yang is half Asian and half stupid.

00:51:20And right now it's about 60 points.

00:51:22That's really nice.

00:51:22There's a kick out by Jimmy Wayne-Yang.

00:51:25Jamie Noble in control, winner to face Gregory Helms

00:51:27for the Cruiserweight title at Armageddon.

00:51:30Charles Darwin couldn't have said it better.

00:51:32See, you've got to give, I mean, like I said,

00:51:34I would give credit to the heart these guys have.

00:51:35Anybody that steps in this ring has got heart.

00:51:37The one thing I don't like about a guy like Jamie Noble,

00:51:40granted he was a Cruiserweight Champion before,

00:51:42but he hasn't elevated his game since then.

00:51:44Champ, I've got to ask you a question.

00:51:45What exactly is that that you have on your head?

00:51:47What is that you've got on your head?

00:51:49Anyway, here's the cover by Yang and a kick out.

00:51:51Is that thing alive when you caught it?

00:51:53And Jamie Noble with a knee to the jaw.

00:51:56See right there, Jamie Noble's aggressiveness

00:51:58has always been a strong point,

00:51:59but he hasn't elevated his game.

00:52:01In this business, if you're not getting better,

00:52:03you're getting worse.

00:52:03Here's the cover again by Noble and again a kick out.

00:52:05If you're not getting better, you're getting worse.

00:52:07Don't talk over me.

00:52:08There's a big difference between Bradshaw of the APA

00:52:10and JBL of the Wrestling God.

00:52:11He elevated his game.

00:52:13There's a difference between Booker T.

00:52:14See, once again, you're talking over me.

00:52:16It's about to get violent out here, Michael Cole.

00:52:17Well, the match is about to end it there.

00:52:19Yeah, you got that like I was saying.

00:52:21He was talking about the gentrification of Gregory Hell.

00:52:23Don't talk over the man, please.

00:52:25I'm not.

00:52:25I'm on his side.

00:52:26He's a champion of champions.

00:52:28You're the one that kept SmackDown's best guest secret

00:52:30in the dark.

00:52:31Secret?

00:52:32Secret.

00:52:33Listen to me.

00:52:34The thing on your head that he talked about

00:52:36wasn't alive.

00:52:36At least I don't wax my eyebrows.

00:52:38Nonetheless, Jamie Gold, big difference

00:52:40with the side headlock on Jimmy Wayne Yang.

00:52:43Which one of these men would you like to face

00:52:45at Armageddon, champ?

00:52:46I don't want to face either one of them.

00:52:48I don't want to face anybody that's trying to take what I got.

00:52:50Oh, it is.

00:52:51Look at that counter.

00:52:52Here's the cover kick out.

00:52:53I do my job because that's my job,

00:52:55but no matter who it is, I will defeat them,

00:52:57and I promise you that.

00:52:59Gregory Helms, you had guys like Bernard Hopkins.

00:53:02You had guys like Roy Jones.

00:53:03You had guys like Ray Mysterio.

00:53:04I'll step up and become world champions.

00:53:07Is that your end goal?

00:53:10Totally.

00:53:10That's my ultimate goal.

00:53:11In this business, that's the ultimate goal

00:53:13of everybody in this business.

00:53:14If one of these guys could actually push me

00:53:17to a level that would make me actually break a sweat,

00:53:19I would appreciate that.

00:53:21Nice slip slam by Noble.

00:53:22Here's the cover kick out at two.

00:53:24So you're not worried about either opponent,

00:53:26whether it is Jamie Noble or Jimmy Wayne

00:53:30Redneck Freebird Yang, whatever his name is.

00:53:32I got to be honest.

00:53:33Being from the Carolinas,

00:53:34I grew up with a lot of rednecks.

00:53:36I never saw any that looked like Jimmy Wayne Yang.

00:53:38Well, what does it have to do with looks?

00:53:39Isn't it an attitude being a redneck?

00:53:41Isn't it have a lot to do with it?

00:53:43I don't know about all that, man.

00:53:46An attitude.

00:53:47Oh, look at this.

00:53:48Oh, what a move stop.

00:53:49Here's the cover.

00:53:50Look at the leg.

00:53:51He got him.

00:53:51He got it.

00:53:52Jimmy Wayne Yang is going up again.

00:53:54There's your opponent, Jeff.

00:53:57Here's the winner.

00:53:58Yes.

00:53:58Number one competitor, Jimmy Wayne Yang.

00:54:03All this flipping out ain't going to work on Gregory Hems.

00:54:05You can flip out all you want.

00:54:07And on again, Gregory Hems is going to bring it to you.

00:54:10Yeah, you too, sweetheart.

00:54:11But I'll bring it to you after this over.

00:54:13Let's take another look at the end of this matchup.

00:54:16Jimmy Wayne Yang with an impressive move stop

00:54:19to pick up the victory over Jamie Noble,

00:54:22which means Jimmy Wayne Yang will face Gregory Hems

00:54:25for the Cruiserweight Championship of the World

00:54:28a week from Sunday in Richmond, Virginia.

00:54:31At Armageddon.

00:54:32That is redneck country, Richmond.

00:54:34What do you know about being a redneck?

00:54:36It's going to take more than that to beat Gregory Hems.

00:54:38I promise you that, Jimmy Wayne Yang.

00:54:42Let me walk in this, all right?

00:54:43All right, I'm listening to you.

00:54:44Okay.

00:54:45Armageddon.

00:54:46Inferno match.

00:54:48Me.

00:54:49Kane.

00:54:50Yeah.

00:54:51Have you lost your mind, Danny?

00:54:53What is your problem?

00:54:53How many times do you want me to beat the monster?

00:54:55Every time I beat the monster,

00:54:57you come with a brand new match

00:54:59with even more dangerous rules.

00:55:01I beat him in a street fight.

00:55:02I beat him in a cage match.

00:55:04Now, you want to put me in a ring

00:55:07surrounded by six-foot planes,

00:55:11five-hundred degrees.

00:55:13Five-hundred degrees.

00:55:13You know how hot that is, Teddy?

00:55:15That's smoking.

00:55:16Yeah.

00:55:16Check this out, Teddy.

00:55:18This beautiful mocha-colored complexion

00:55:20can get burned.

00:55:20I'm MVP, man.

00:55:21I'm not supposed to get burned up, Teddy.

00:55:22Is that right?

00:55:23You ever been to a hospital burn unit?

00:55:25You ever seen

00:55:27bubbling sin's flesh on a human being?

00:55:30Do you know what that smells like?

00:55:31My stomach's doing back flips

00:55:33just thinking about it, Teddy.

00:55:36Teddy.

00:55:37Come on, check this out.

00:55:38You and me.

00:55:39Brother to brother, dog.

00:55:40You know what I'm saying?

00:55:40Give me a partner's match, man.

00:55:42You know what I'm saying?

00:55:42I ain't doing this match.

00:55:43Brother to brother now, right?

00:55:43Brother to brother, Teddy.

00:55:44I ain't doing this match.

00:55:45Brother to brother.

00:55:45Teddy.

00:55:47Man, I ain't doing this match, Teddy.

00:55:49Nowhere in my contract does it say

00:55:50I got to do a match

00:55:51I want to buy five.

00:55:51Let me explain something to you

00:55:52about your contract.

00:55:54Now, you show me in your contract

00:55:56where it says

00:55:56that MVP can be pulled

00:55:59from any match

00:55:59that he doesn't want to be in.

00:56:01Can you show me that?

00:56:03Probably not.

00:56:04Well, and another thing.

00:56:05All the millions that I paid

00:56:07to sign you

00:56:08and you're going to tell me

00:56:09that you're not going to get

00:56:10in the ring with Kane?

00:56:11Damn right.

00:56:11Well, I tell you what.

00:56:12If you don't,

00:56:13your ass is fired.

00:56:15You feeling me?

00:56:16You're fired?

00:56:17Yeah, you.

00:56:17So that's how it's going down.

00:56:18Ain't nobody here but me and you.

00:56:19That's how you're going to run it?

00:56:20That's how it's going to be.

00:56:20No problem.

00:56:21I will call my agent.

00:56:22He's going to get me about this match.

00:56:23You can call your agent.

00:56:24You can call Ghostbusters.

00:56:26Anybody you want to call.

00:56:27Now, MVP,

00:56:29tell you what.

00:56:30I got a better idea.

00:56:31How about I give you a chance

00:56:33to soften up Kane a little bit?

00:56:35Okay, see,

00:56:36now you're working with me, man.

00:56:37What you got?

00:56:37Next week, MVP.

00:56:39That'd be you.

00:56:40That's me.

00:56:41And your tag team partner,

00:56:43Mr. Kennedy,

00:56:45against Kane.

00:56:46See, man,

00:56:46that's what I'm talking about,

00:56:47Ken.

00:56:47I knew you was all right.

00:56:48Work with me.

00:56:49And Kane's partner will be

00:56:51his brother,

00:56:52The Undertaker.

00:56:54No, man.

00:56:54You can't do that.

00:56:56Oh, my.

00:56:59Oh, my Lord.

00:57:00Can you believe it?

00:57:02Next week,

00:57:02in Boston,

00:57:03a touchdown.

00:57:04What is the destruction?

00:57:06What a...

00:57:07Teddy Long got against MVP

00:57:08and Mr. Kennedy.

00:57:10Stop it.

00:57:11That's insane.

00:57:12Oh, good Lord.

00:57:14Bonjour, les amis.

00:57:16He just surrendered.

00:57:18Si, même,

00:57:18voudrais vous dire

00:57:19un beau bonjour

00:57:20de la part

00:57:20de tous mes amis au Québec.

00:57:25Vous savez,

00:57:26en tant qu'ambassadeur

00:57:27du Québec,

00:57:28c'est moi

00:57:29et mon droit

00:57:29de représenter

00:57:30tout le monde

00:57:31que je veux.

00:57:32Thank goodness.

00:57:44Oh,

00:57:44et comme ça,

00:57:45c'est notre pro.

00:57:46What a foul.

00:57:47Percy Dwayne

00:57:48from Abraham and Georgia.

00:57:50And Bedouin

00:57:50went to Little Todd

00:57:51beating the hell

00:57:52out of Sylvain.

00:58:00He's beating up

00:58:01a big boat-up chick

00:58:02right now.

00:58:03And there we go

00:58:04with a German

00:58:04tuplex to Sylvain.

00:58:06Chris Benoit

00:58:07with a second

00:58:07German tuplex

00:58:08going for the hat

00:58:09trip,

00:58:10wasting little time

00:58:11on Sylvain.

00:58:14The rabid wolverine.

00:58:19He's just screaming

00:58:20at Sylvain.

00:58:21This is the kind

00:58:21of vicious guy

00:58:22that Benoit is.

00:58:24Benoit is a classless

00:58:25bully taking his

00:58:27frustrations out

00:58:28on somebody else.

00:58:29Taking it out

00:58:29on Sylvain,

00:58:30beating up someone.

00:58:32Everyone knows

00:58:33the French are helpless.

00:58:34For him to do this

00:58:35to Sylvain

00:58:36is just being

00:58:38a bully.

00:58:39And Chris Benoit,

00:58:40the crossface

00:58:41is locked into Sylvain.

00:58:42The crossface

00:58:43is locked in.

00:58:44Sylvain taps out.

00:58:46Sylvain taps out,

00:58:47but Chris Benoit

00:58:48will not release

00:58:49the crossface.

00:58:51He won't even

00:58:51let it go.

00:58:52You're the loser

00:58:53in all this is me

00:58:54because I thought

00:58:55a lot of Chris Benoit

00:58:56before I found out

00:58:58some personal issues

00:58:59about him.

00:59:00Well, Chris Benoit

00:59:01is going to be able

00:59:02to get his hands.

00:59:03The United States

00:59:04Champion,

00:59:05Chris Benoit.

00:59:07Chris Benoit

00:59:07is going to be able

00:59:08to get his hands

00:59:09on Chavo Guerrero

00:59:10a week from Sunday

00:59:11at Armageddon

00:59:12because based on

00:59:13Chavo's, well,

00:59:14controversial victory

00:59:15last week,

00:59:16it'll be Chavo

00:59:16versus Benoit

00:59:17for the United States

00:59:18title at Armageddon.

00:59:31Hey, he's like

00:59:32the 72 Dolphins.

00:59:34He's like

00:59:35Rocky Marciano.

00:59:36He's undefeated.

00:59:37He's the Miz.

00:59:39You just compared

00:59:40and Miz to Rocky Marciano.

01:00:36Undefeated.

01:00:38Sigma.

01:00:39Oh, my God.

01:00:43Is that one of your shirts,

01:00:44Michael?

01:00:45Scottie has his own.

01:00:46Does it have a battery pass

01:00:47in a walk-in suspension course?

01:00:49I want to get back to Miss.

01:00:50Are you jealous?

01:00:51If you were in the closet

01:00:52in a walk-in closet,

01:00:53I think you're not anymore

01:00:54now that you kissed Vito.

01:00:56No, I'm not jealous.

01:00:57You got Brittany Spears.

01:00:58You got the little girl

01:01:00without any morals.

01:01:01Harry Hilton,

01:01:01whatever her name is.

01:01:02A little anorexic drunk,

01:01:03whatever her name is.

01:01:04And now you've got

01:01:05the other bimbo,

01:01:06the Miss.

01:01:08Another brain-dead idiot

01:01:09from a reality show

01:01:10with his little

01:01:11Terry Taylor red rooster

01:01:12star to get.

01:01:13Nobody hate like that

01:01:15stooge either.

01:01:17This makes me sick.

01:01:18This guy's in the same ring

01:01:20that I sweat,

01:01:21bled,

01:01:22and gave my health to.

01:01:25So, Miss...

01:01:26Can you applaud him?

01:01:28I said I liked him.

01:01:30You compared him

01:01:31to Rocky Marciano.

01:01:33I was having fun.

01:01:35The Dolphins.

01:01:37Miss, side headlock.

01:01:38Scottie Tiuotti

01:01:39with the cross of the ring.

01:01:40Shoulder knocked down

01:01:41on the Miss.

01:01:42Scottie,

01:01:43former tag team champion,

01:01:44loves to have him

01:01:45on to entertain the craft.

01:01:47Scottie,

01:01:47former two-time

01:01:48tag team champion.

01:01:51I mean,

01:01:52blow to the back

01:01:53of the neck.

01:01:55Come on,

01:01:55you've got to give it

01:01:56to Miss.

01:01:56I mean...

01:01:57I don't have to do

01:01:57your damn thing!

01:02:00Look at Scottie.

01:02:01Look at Spider.

01:02:02And Miss felt for it,

01:02:04and went flying

01:02:05right through the second rope.

01:02:07And that's the veteran,

01:02:08Scottie Tiuotti.

01:02:10Crickin' Miss

01:02:11has got to be real tough.

01:02:14Miss.

01:02:15Climb on the short bus.

01:02:16Up on the apron.

01:02:17Oh, and a

01:02:17come to the eye

01:02:18by Miss.

01:02:19Hey, like you say,

01:02:20by any means necessary,

01:02:21right?

01:02:22Miss up over the top

01:02:24and a shoulder block.

01:02:25Here's the cover.

01:02:26Punk of the leg.

01:02:27Gonna kick you.

01:02:28You've got to give Miss

01:02:29credit with that

01:02:29athletic move.

01:02:30No, I'll give

01:02:30Bam Bam Bigelow

01:02:31credit for that move

01:02:32because he was

01:02:32400 back.

01:02:33Scottie went across the ring.

01:02:34Miss with a high elbow.

01:02:36Catches Scottie Tiuotti

01:02:37high and tight.

01:02:38And I'm telling you...

01:02:39Come on, Scottie.

01:02:39Come on!

01:02:42Yes, I'm rooting

01:02:43for Scottie Tiuotti.

01:02:45Why?

01:02:45Because Miss is

01:02:46really doing

01:02:47really well in the

01:02:48matchup.

01:02:48Is that why?

01:02:50He's doing a little

01:02:51bit better than

01:02:51where you've been

01:02:52making it out to be

01:02:53over the past

01:02:53couple of months.

01:02:55And the Scottie

01:02:56chance began

01:02:58with a snap-down

01:02:59crowd here.

01:03:03Well, you know,

01:03:03a really good point

01:03:04is that it used

01:03:05to be all over

01:03:06MVP until he

01:03:07took you out

01:03:07to dinner.

01:03:08I think he

01:03:08changed his mind

01:03:09about it.

01:03:10MVP has beaten

01:03:10Kane twice.

01:03:12That is impressive.

01:03:14He also has a

01:03:15plan to Man-Mex,

01:03:16doesn't he?

01:03:17Not a black one,

01:03:18though.

01:03:18Scottie bounces

01:03:19off the run.

01:03:20Nice first!

01:03:20Goes the Miss.

01:03:22And Scottie

01:03:23finish him off!

01:03:24Scottie has

01:03:25Miss perhaps in a...

01:03:27Take her to the barn!

01:03:28Scottie, take her home!

01:03:30Scottie Tiuotti

01:03:31setting the Miss up

01:03:33for the patented maneuver!

01:03:34Finish him off!

01:03:38That's best one!

01:03:41Scottie Tiuotti!

01:03:43Scottie, lay the hammer

01:03:44down!

01:03:45Scottie!

01:03:46Oh, wait a minute,

01:03:47Miss!

01:03:47Roll it up to Scottie!

01:03:49Here's the cover!

01:03:50Miss had the tights

01:03:51and all!

01:03:52And Miss remains

01:03:53undefeated!

01:03:55Yes, undefeated!

01:04:01And Miss is, uh,

01:04:02well, upset and

01:04:04stomping away

01:04:05at Scottie Tiuotti!

01:04:08Snatches over with,

01:04:09ladies and gentlemen.

01:04:10Now, I'll condone this.

01:04:12Miss should have

01:04:12taken the victory

01:04:13and gotten out of dodge.

01:04:15Swingy neckbreaker!

01:04:20This makes me sick.

01:04:23Absolutely sick!

01:04:25Look at him!

01:04:27Strutting around,

01:04:28prancing around.

01:04:30Stone Cold Steve

01:04:30Wallace has been

01:04:31in that ring.

01:04:31The Rock's been

01:04:32in that ring.

01:04:33And Miss is now

01:04:34mocking.

01:04:34The Undertaker Triple H!

01:04:36Wait a minute!

01:04:37Wait a minute!

01:04:37Miss is doing the work!

01:04:39Speaking of words!

01:04:41The Boogeyman!

01:04:42The Boogeyman is here!

01:04:43Where's the Boogeyman?

01:04:44Where the hell is he?

01:04:45I thought he was

01:04:46suspended!

01:04:47The Boogeyman

01:04:47was suspended!

01:04:48Well, that's

01:04:49huge risk!

01:04:50No!

01:04:51It's filling the arena!

01:04:52For the first time,

01:04:53I'm gonna be glad

01:04:54to see the Boogeyman!

01:04:56That putrid

01:04:59sculpture length!

01:05:01What is that?

01:05:03Miss realizing he's in

01:05:04five!

01:05:06Look at the Boogeyman!

01:05:07Showtime!

01:05:09The Boogeyman!

01:05:10Worms it all!

01:05:13And a close line!

01:05:14And a knock

01:05:15of the Miss out!

01:05:16Almost a decapitation.

01:05:18Now get in,

01:05:18Boogeyman!

01:05:20First time I'll ever

01:05:21cheer for the Boogeyman,

01:05:22but get in,

01:05:23Boogeyman!

01:05:25And look at this!

01:05:26Miss is back!

01:05:27Oh my!

01:05:28Miss is being punished!

01:05:32A relentless assault

01:05:34by the Boogeyman!

01:05:36Into the stairs!

01:05:37That goes to Miss!

01:05:38I like this!

01:05:39I like it a lot!

01:05:42Ha ha!

01:05:43As a gal roll

01:05:44the cowboy access!

01:05:45Do you know what this is?

01:05:46This is about to pick up!

01:05:47You know what this is all about?

01:05:48Ha ha!

01:05:49Unfortunately, I do!

01:05:50I'm not going to Worms!

01:05:51But I am enjoying this tonight!

01:05:54Get him,

01:05:54Freddy Krueger!

01:05:55Get him!

01:05:55The Boogeyman!

01:05:56Went after the Miz!

01:05:58And the Miz

01:05:58trying to escape!

01:06:00Boogeyman Worms it all!

01:06:02Hurrah!

01:06:03Look at that disgusting sight

01:06:05as Miz runs away!

01:06:08Miz looks like you

01:06:08in a brothel!

01:06:09Scared to damn death!

01:06:13Miz!

01:06:16Looks like he's seen a ghost!

01:06:19He's seen the Boogeyman

01:06:20a lot worse than a ghost,

01:06:22I assure you!

01:06:23I've been out there

01:06:24with the Boogeyman!

01:06:26Ha ha!

01:06:27A ghost has nothing

01:06:29on the Boogeyman!

01:06:33He's a Boogeyman!

01:06:34And he's coming to get ya!

01:06:40Well, ladies and gentlemen,

01:06:42the Big Red Machine Kane,

01:06:45the up-and-coming Mr. Kennedy!

01:06:47Tonight,

01:06:48they go one-on-one!

01:06:50Can Kennedy soften up Kane

01:06:52for Armageddon?

01:06:53We'll find out

01:06:54tonight!

01:06:58A week from Sunday

01:06:59at Armageddon,

01:07:00one of WWE's

01:07:02most unique matches.

01:07:03It is an Inferno match,

01:07:04John!

01:07:05Six-foot high,

01:07:06playing

01:07:06500 degrees!

01:07:09And you win

01:07:10when your opponent

01:07:11gets burned!

01:07:13The last Inferno match

01:07:15that Kane was in,

01:07:16he got third-degree burns!

01:07:19And I think he liked it!

01:07:21The loser

01:07:22was lit on fire

01:07:23in an Inferno match!

01:07:48Chesnuts!

01:07:49It's Roasty on an open fire.

01:08:10What do you make of that?

01:08:13I'm making a bad.

01:08:14He's in the Christmas spirit.

01:08:16And he's a monster.

01:08:17And he's crazy.

01:08:19And he's going to be an Inferno match.

01:08:21And Teddy Long has stuffed MVP out there with him.

01:08:26MVP's chestnuts are going to be roasted.

01:08:29Well, ladies and gentlemen, this will happen a week from Sunday.

01:08:32Richmond, Virginia.

01:08:34Armageddon.

01:08:34Six-foot-high flames.

01:08:36500 degrees.

01:08:37The loser is the first to catch on fire in an Inferno match.

01:08:41Also, at Armageddon, how about a last-run match?

01:08:44Undertaker and Mr. Kennedy.

01:08:46I've been in this, Michael.

01:08:47I've told you before.

01:08:4830-something stitches in my head.

01:08:50And I actually, they said, won the match.

01:08:53Mr. Kennedy might want to pull back his pump card he threw down.

01:08:58Meanwhile, an incident occurred earlier on tonight that may directly affect Armageddon.

01:09:02It was Batista versus Finley when the former world champion, Finley's partner at Armageddon, King Booker, would attempt to attack

01:09:11Batista from behind.

01:09:12And when the animal went after his longtime rival, and push him from behind with a shillelagh to the back

01:09:22of the neck.

01:09:23And then, the two-on-one stall would begin for the two teammates at Armageddon.

01:09:29King Booker wearing out the world champion with a steel chair.

01:09:32And then Finley, continuing the assault on the triceps, which was damaged earlier this year, and forced Batista to miss

01:09:41both of action and relinquish the world championship.

01:09:45Finley and King Booker sending a message to Batista, and perhaps to Batista's partner at Armageddon, the WWE champion, John

01:09:54Cena.

01:09:54So, a week from Sunday, Batista, the world champion from SmackDown, will team with the Raw's WWE champion, John Cena,

01:10:02to take on the former world champion, King Booker, and the former United States champion, Finley.

01:10:08And on again, Kennedy!

01:10:14And right now, we've got Mr. Kennedy, one-on-one with Kane!

01:10:20Oh, it comes out to the single board.

01:10:22What's up?

01:10:23Thank you, Mr. Kennedy!

01:10:25Thank you, Mr. Kennedy!

01:10:25From Green Bay, Wisconsin!

01:10:27Thank you, Mr. Kennedy!

01:10:30Mr. Kennedy!

01:10:33You've got to remember the look on Mr. Kennedy's face from earlier tonight.

01:10:38He saw a hearse without a driver back up toward the ring, and from out of the back of it

01:10:43came The Undertaker!

01:10:44Send in a message!

01:10:47I see how you want to play this, Dead Man.

01:10:49See, you think that by reminding me of our last ride match at Armageddon, you're gonna throw me off my

01:10:58game.

01:10:59Well, see, you need to think again, because I happen to be the guy that already beat you twice.

01:11:09While it may seem like you can intimidate me...

01:11:17That the hearse is moving!

01:11:20I, I, I, I, it's a damn thing!

01:11:22It's coming to the ring by itself!

01:11:25Oh, my, it's The Undertaker!

01:11:28Face to face with Mr. Kennedy!

01:11:33Mr. Kennedy running from the ring, running from The Undertaker!

01:11:38And that's exactly the vehicle that Mr. Kennedy may be hauled out in at Armageddon in the last ride match!

01:11:57I've said it before, and I'll say it again, because I speak nothing but the truth.

01:12:05And that is, if you are looking at the future of sports entertainment, you are looking at Mr. Kennedy!

01:12:34Here it comes, Michael.

01:12:41Kennedy!

01:12:44Mr. Kennedy may soon be taking his last ride, but ladies and gentlemen, up next, Mr. Kennedy's gotta go one

01:12:52-on-one!

01:12:52With pain!

01:12:57We are back on SmackDown!

01:12:59Mr. Kennedy awaiting the arrival of his opponent here tonight!

01:13:03And the road doesn't get any easier!

01:13:08This man is about to come out, sees no...

01:13:12Here we go!

01:13:18And...

01:13:18With 20 pounds!

01:13:23It's all moments ago, there's six more of the mind that Kane has!

01:13:28You look at what a show we've had!

01:13:30Finley, Batiste, DeRegal, Taylor, all of the superstars, The Undertaker, and now Michael, to turn the volume up!

01:13:38And Kennedy waits a little time, trying to get the upper hand on Kane in the early part of this

01:13:42match-up!

01:13:43Both of these men will be involved in Armageddon!

01:13:46You mentioned, oh, there's a big boot to the face by Kane!

01:13:49It can't be overstating, Kennedy has called out and defeated five world champions this year!

01:13:56And that he has, and albeit by controversial wit means, he did defeat The Undertaker in a first blood match

01:14:03in Survivor Series!

01:14:04But now Mr. Kennedy has to go into Armageddon in a last wide match!

01:14:08As Kane delivers a right hand, fouls it up with an elbow!

01:14:12Kennedy has repeatedly called out champion after champion after champion, but this time Michael, throwing down a pump card for

01:14:20The Undertaker!

01:14:20The mood The Undertaker's in might be a bad mood!

01:14:24Well, how about the mood that Kane is in as he delivers an elbow to Mr. Kennedy?

01:14:29I mean, MVP, by controversial means, has defeated Kane in a street fight and in a steel cage match, but

01:14:36now Kane gets MVP in an infernal match!

01:14:39But understand this, Kane has MVP on the top rope of that cage match!

01:14:44What could have defeated him easily, he wanted to hurt him permanently, was gonna choke slam him off the top

01:14:49of the cage, MVP found a way to sneak out!

01:14:52Well, Kane is in a very, very bad mood!

01:14:56So, explain to me how MVP is gonna sneak out of a ring that is going to be surrounded by

01:15:026 foot high planes that measure 500 degrees!

01:15:05As Kane drops the leg! How does MVP get out of that one?

01:15:09Here's, wait a minute, here's the cover, shoulders down, kick out!

01:15:12Very simple, Michael, he can't!

01:15:16MVP cannot run, he cannot hide, if he does, he gets burned!

01:15:21Literally burned!

01:15:23Looks like Mr. Kennedy is trying to run here, and Kane doing what he can to keep Mr. Kennedy in

01:15:28the ring!

01:15:29The last infernal match, I was there, Michael, you could feel the heat, it was palpable from the backstage area,

01:15:36it was so hot!

01:15:37And you were also involved in the last ride matches, against the Undertaker, at no mercy, a couple of years

01:15:45ago!

01:15:45It's bad enough facing the Undertaker like Mr. Kennedy's gonna have to do at Armageddon, but to face the Undertaker

01:15:51when he is in his element, like the last ride!

01:15:54Oh, and Mr. Kennedy with a, is almost an impossible pass!

01:15:59Oh!

01:16:00Kane is trying to dismantle Mr. Kennedy in this matchup, and Mr. Kennedy wisely, going to try to catch himself

01:16:08a breath here!

01:16:11Kane!

01:16:13Kane!

01:16:13Out on the attack, Mr. Kennedy!

01:16:15Was he playing possum, perhaps as he begins the assault on Kane.

01:16:20Kane!

01:16:20He was bleeding!

01:16:22Kane!

01:16:23Kane!

01:16:25Kane!

01:16:27Kane!

01:16:28Kane!

01:16:29Kane!

01:16:33Kane!

01:16:36Kane!

01:16:36into the impact. What a right by the big red machine. This looks like a seventh grade biology

01:16:47experiment. Kane is dissecting Mr. Kennedy. Oh, what a clothesline. Kane is, I'm not sure

01:16:57that Kane couldn't finish this if he wanted to. He might very well be, but he is demented.

01:17:01He loves to punish people. You heard that sick poem that he delivered moments ago, actually

01:17:07a song, but the message was not quite delivering holiday cheer. I hope that Kane does keep his

01:17:16day job because he's not going to make it as a lounge singer. No, that's for sure. Some

01:17:21of the lounges you hang out, yes, me, no. Mr. Kennedy, so what are you saying about the

01:17:26type of places Kane hangs out in? Saying he can't sing? Oh, rake of the eyes by Mr. Kennedy.

01:17:33And Mr. Kennedy with a grunt kick, climbing Kane's skull off that exposed barricade, so

01:17:39Kennedy does use the steal. I think, though, and inadvertently, Michael. Mr. Kennedy

01:17:47tell the referee to count it. Looking for a count-out victory slacks here.

01:17:51Looking for a count-out victory slacks for a count-out victory. Mr. Kennedy would love

01:17:58to win this match via count-out. Any way you can get it. You take it any way you can.

01:18:02You

01:18:02got a monster like Kane for whatever you do. Count him out, Cordes. Mr. Kennedy's won a lot

01:18:08of these matches via count-out. Remember, he knocked off Batista a few months ago via count-out.

01:18:12Winning's winning. At a count of eight, Kane struggling back to his feet, and he makes it back

01:18:17into the ring. At a count of nine, but Kennedy quickly on the attack, and that was wise of Mr.

01:18:22Kennedy. This is where Kennedy is at his best. This is where Kennedy is in his element. You get a

01:18:28person that gets a little bit down, a little bit higher. Kennedy turns into an animal. Into the

01:18:33cover. Forearm in the face, and a kick at it, too, by Kane. Look at Mr. Kennedy's face.

01:18:42Right hand by Kane. You heard that ooh from the SmackDown fans as they felt it here as well.

01:18:55Side-brushing leg sweep. And Mr. Kennedy quickly holding his own. Into the cover. Hooks the leg.

01:19:00Shoulders are down and a kick out at two by the Big Red Machine. Mr. Kennedy maybe becoming

01:19:07frustrated? How could you not be? You know how much it takes to beat Kane?

01:19:15Kane in this match with The Undertaker not only kicked out of the tombstone, but did it twice.

01:19:22One of the toughest guys we've ever seen in the WWE, Kane. Well, next week, if you can beat Kane

01:19:28and beat

01:19:29him one, two, three with his shoulders on the mat, you have done something phenomenal. Well, next week,

01:19:34Kane is going to team with The Undertaker. The Brothers of Destruction in action. In Boston,

01:19:39Massachusetts, it's back now against Mr. Kennedy and MVP.

01:19:45I was in a great tag team, the APA. We thought we were powerful. We thought we were strong. And

01:19:49we

01:19:50were. The only team we thought we might not be able to match up with on our best day was

01:19:55the

01:19:55Brothers of Destruction. I don't think any team could. Mr. Kennedy. We couldn't. Nobody could.

01:20:00That's what I'm saying, Michael. Listen, damn it. Shoulders to the gut. Mr. Kennedy.

01:20:06Unbiased reporting by JBL here at ringside.

01:20:11Mr. Kennedy that looked in his eyes as he's measuring his opponent. Kane is in a world of

01:20:17trouble here. Uh-oh. And Kane caught Mr. Kennedy. Went to the world too many times. Mr. Kennedy

01:20:28kicked to the midsection. Kane counters. That's power. He tossed Kennedy halfway across the ring.

01:20:37That's a 250-pound man. He tossed halfway across the ring. Right hands by Kane to Mr. Kennedy.

01:20:44There's yet another right. Big back body drop. Kane's on the roll. Mr. Kennedy better figure out

01:20:53something quick because the big man is unstoppable when he's this way. Feel the momentum beginning

01:20:58to shift a little bit here, don't you? You feel it shift? Kane is about to put him out. Big

01:21:08clothesline

01:21:08by the 300-pounder. Kane. Look at this. One hand. Nice slam. A 250-pound man. He picks up with

01:21:18one hand. And Kane back to his feet. Mr. Kennedy feeling it. Kennedy whipped across the ring.

01:21:28Off the ropes. Swinging neckbreaker to Kane. That was the break Kennedy needed. He had to stop

01:21:34the monster's momentum. Kennedy just did it. He's going for the home run. Tee it up, Mary

01:21:40Bonds. Let's go to McCovey Cove. Kane now, wait a minute. Kane set up. Kane set up. And a right

01:21:46hand

01:21:46caught Mr. Kennedy. And now Kane's going to go to the apron. And Kane is going to climb high.

01:21:55A man that big shouldn't go up to the top rope. This is sick. 300-pounder. Delivering the clothesline.

01:22:06Kane's feeling it. Kane stalking Mr. Kennedy. And there's MVP. MVP. Into the line. And he was caught

01:22:15by Kane. And Mr. Kennedy from behind. And another double-team by Kennedy. And MVP.

01:22:21You better ruin him now before that Inferno match. You don't want to get in the monster.

01:22:27You don't want to ring with a monster in that Inferno match if he's healthy. They are beating

01:22:31the hell out of Kane. A double-team by MVP. Here's your chance, guys. Jump on him. And

01:22:48where is he? Where's everybody? Well, where's Kane? What the hell just happened? Well, Kane's

01:22:57gone. Mr. Kennedy is hot. He's taken off through the crowd. Where's The Undertaker? We just heard

01:23:05his music. Where's Kane? Kane was in the mess. Where the hell did he go? What the hell just

01:23:13happened? You got a car driving itself. You hear music and here people disappear. Oh! Oh, my God!

01:23:23The mind games! Come to a head! The brothers of destruction Kane and The Undertaker versus

01:23:29Kennedy and MVP! Next week on SmackDown in Boston! Oh, my!
