00:00Indeed, the intensity pouring out of the body of the game, that match is next game.
00:04He's talking about bolting on a game face, the game is ready.
00:07And will the game become a five-time champion?
00:10Or can Kurt Angle continue this awesome run?
00:14There you see the reigning WWF champion, big match, the biggest, and it's time now.
00:21Jordan McHero just completed the single most dominant year in World Wrestling Federation history.
00:30Kurt Angle, you are still the champion because I have allowed it.
00:37Mr. Angle must defend his WWF championship at the Royal Rumble event against the number one contender, Triple H.
00:47How is Triple H the number one contender?
00:49I have no problem facing Hunter at the Rumble, but I do have a problem with going up against the
00:54McMahon family.
00:55Since the McMahon will not be in my corner, I decided to get the next best thing.
01:00Trish?
01:04What are you doing? Volunteering your services to be in Kurt Angle's corner? What are you doing, Trish?
01:10You know what? I've been bad. I've been really bad.
01:13In fact, I think that I've been so bad that I deserve spanking.
01:23Oh my God! I can't see this!
01:28Trish!
01:29Oh! Oh!
01:31There's a little, uh, friction here to say the least!
01:34Oh, look at Steph!
01:35Tonight, I'm gonna take out the biggest piece of trash I've ever laid my eyes on!
01:45Trish Stratus! Come down to this ring right now!
01:49As far as the WWF is concerned, I am the dominant female.
01:58Mr. McMahon and I, we are just friends!
02:02Enough! Both of you!
02:05Steph, you are above this.
02:08You do not need to be dealing with the likes of her.
02:12Triple H, I would like to think that you have a little more respect for my new business advisor than
02:19that.
02:20I know something else that you won't have after this Sunday.
02:23And that's my World Wrestling Federation Championship.
02:26It's true.
02:28It's damn true.
02:30Triple H, attacking Angle from behind!
02:33Stephanie and Trish!
02:34Oh my God!
02:35Can't fight! Can't fight!
02:37Trish and Stephanie going at it!
02:39Triple H, right for the champ!
02:41What an explosive situation!
02:44Sunday King at the Royal Rumble!
02:46Triple H and Kurt Angle meet for the title!
02:48But what about what's gonna happen outside the ring?
02:51That will be in Triple H's corner!
02:53Trish and Kurt Angle's corner!
02:55The WWF title on the line!
02:57Sunday at the Rumble!
02:59Triple H, you may be the game,
03:03but there is no way that you're taking my title from me at the Rumble!
03:07Kurt Angle!
03:09I will be the World Wrestling Federation Champion!
03:15And there is not a damn thing you or anybody else can do about it!
03:23It's time to play the game!
03:26And we are back live!
03:28The WWF title!
03:30Time to play the game!
03:31Is here, it's now!
03:33And these two men are ready to by God get it on!
03:41and you can play Irab!
03:44It's all about the game!
03:45It's all about the game!
03:47And now you play it!
03:48It's all about the zag.
03:54You can feel the intensity of the game
03:57of coming back to school
04:00as they'll approach this very ring.
04:08The 1-800-CLECT presents the deck to be a royal robber
04:12from the sold-out New Orleans Arena
04:14tonight on pay-per-view.
04:161-800-CLECT.
04:17Easy way to say it.
04:21And right now, I'm sure Kurt Angle is thinking about
04:24how are you gonna save the WWF title tonight
04:28from Batman the Game.
04:32Ladies and gentlemen, on a down play tennis injury,
04:34we hope to get an update tonight.
04:36It may be tomorrow night on Raw on TNN.
04:39We'll be live from Lafayette, Louisiana's Canyon Dome.
04:43As we turn now, our focus for the richest prize.
04:46It's Sparks Entertainment.
04:55The following contest,
04:57sensible for football,
04:59is for the World Wrestling Federation coming at you.
05:03In the ring, accompanied by Stephanie McMahon,
05:06hopefully from Brennan, Connecticut,
05:08weighing 260 pounds.
05:11The calendar, the game, Triple H!
05:18Triple H has had great success in the Royal Rumble.
05:21Last year, he was a WWF champion.
05:24And what a bloodbath he was involved in.
05:26Successful defending the title against the legendary Cactus Jack.
05:30But this is an athlete of an entirely different persuasion.
05:45The third opponent, accompanied for a rich splash in his first pitch.
05:52That's West Virginia.
05:53We're on the 9th row to the game.
05:54And we have 2.29 to win.
05:55The World Wrestling Federation champion,
06:00Oh, my gosh, they are Kurt Angle in the game.
06:04And that's not enough.
06:06Trish Stratus and Stephanie McMahon held it.
06:09Did you just see the way those two cats are eyeing each other?
06:11Oh, look at this.
06:12Gang, do you think that Mr. McMahon was a little jealous when he caught Drew Carey talking to Trish alone
06:17and then encouraging Drew Carey to enter the Royal Lungo here tonight?
06:24Come on, Marcy.
06:25No, no.
06:26I think you're right on the money.
06:28I think it's going to be great.
06:31Certainly are.
06:33Poor Drew.
06:35Oh, look at that outfit.
06:36That Trish is wearing.
06:38She's got those diamond earrings on.
06:39Oh, yeah, I guess he bought those and the fur coat.
06:42There she is.
06:42Well, you know, what must poor Linda McMahon be thinking in her sedated state?
06:47One of the classiest, most intelligent, charming human beings I've ever met.
06:52Don't worry.
06:52I don't think that the vegetables do much thinking.
06:55I think she's kept heavily sedated, J.R.
06:57That's sad.
06:58And ladies and gentlemen, the WWE title at stake here.
07:01Kurt Angle has had an awesome run.
07:04The most dominant first year in history.
07:09Winning every championship, including the title, and the Survivors here.
07:18Triple H, both these men are not what you would call fan favorites.
07:24So the audience reacts.
07:26Oh, nice.
07:27Part of the carry takeover by Kurt Angle.
07:29I'm a big fan of both of these guys.
07:30And anybody with any intelligence would respect them for what they've accomplished and their athletic ability.
07:35Agreed.
07:36Kurt Angle has three eyes.
07:37Two, come on, Hunter.
07:39Well, that's arguable.
07:40And not only that, you gotta respect them for their-
07:42Come on, pick it up.
07:42Pick it up.
07:42Pick it up.
07:43Pick it up.
07:44Women to be in the corner.
07:45Wow.
07:46Hard shoulder tackle by Triple H, the challenger.
07:51Yeah, man, man.
07:52You know, hip-block tackle by Kurt Angle.
07:54And Angle measuring Triple H and nails the challenger over the top.
07:59Angle, of course, represented the United States in the 1996 Olympic Games down in Atlanta.
08:05And won the gold medal.
08:07Look at, look at Stephanie.
08:09And the intensity on the face of Stephanie, too.
08:12And freestyle wrestling.
08:13First America to ever do that at his weight.
08:16Look at his pages.
08:19They'll tell you what they think of Kurt Angle.
08:22Don't get him riled up.
08:25I see a shot of Trish.
08:27I call Trish the baseball girl.
08:28Why is that?
08:29Well, apparently she won't play without a diamond.
08:33Man, you may be right there, or a meek coat.
08:36Hard right hand by the game, who traditionally takes that right hand.
08:40And it's not for the aesthetics, it's for the practical application.
08:44I asked Trish how you get a meek coat like that when she was wearing.
08:46She said, well, you find a wolf and skin him.
08:50Wow.
08:51I think she obviously was referring to Mr. McMahon.
08:56Look at Mr. McMahon, did you see what Trish took her fingernail right in the middle?
09:01His ass.
09:03Hey.
09:04Nice hot shot by Kurt Angle.
09:06You did see it, didn't you?
09:07Yeah.
09:09The world saw it.
09:11Nice arm ringer by Kurt Angle.
09:14And the critical Roman Knuckleock taking down the game at 17,000.
09:20One number 37, LaTon here in New Orleans.
09:23And again, thank you very much wherever you are around the world.
09:26Over 70 countries, enjoying this event live.
09:31I'll tell you what we didn't get to see.
09:32We didn't get to see Mr. McMahon and Trish that spanking, baby.
09:37Why the hell would you want to see that?
09:40Huh?
09:42Suplex.
09:42And Angle has got a variety of suplexes, and they all are effective, and they all hurt.
09:47And there's another one.
09:49Triple H has had some more back problems in the last couple months.
09:52We understand he's at 100% tonight, but that may be short land.
09:58There's a cover of three suplexes in here, Paul.
10:01With the leg, a little back problem, Patrice's obviously got no upper front problems.
10:05Okay?
10:07Hold on, hold on.
10:08You saw all these suplexes that Kurt Angle's delivering.
10:10You remember how many, how many, how many times did Kurt Angle suplex don't call Steve Arthur?
10:15He was double-digging, I know that, and Angle out there that hammered the game with the Olympic-like right
10:23hands.
10:24This is a page, so to speak, out of the games book, who reverses Angle on the outside, and Angle.
10:30Get it, boy, come on, you boys, get it.
10:33Being hammered, now right back into the field this time.
10:37Well, I just know this, that Kurt Angle probably more impressive credentials than any athlete
10:45that ever has come into the World Wrestling Federation.
10:47Can't argue that point at all.
10:49But he still feels he doesn't get the respect that he deserves, even though he is the champion.
10:54Tonight he's out to earn that respect.
10:56Well, if Kurt Angle defeats the game here tonight, he should be given a hell of a lot more respect,
11:02because the game is as good as there is, in my book, there was no one better in 2000 than
11:09Triple H in the business.
11:15Angle meeting the game with the right hand, staggering the temperature, but it has thus far,
11:21Trish and have been somewhat quiet.
11:29The game ripping at that knee, a Kurt Angle, and the leg breakbind.
11:36Speaking of knees getting ripped.
11:39It's been around for about 40 years, I saw an old table from the 50s to the late Nature Boy,
11:44Buddy Rogers, using that same maneuver very effectively.
11:47Okay, okay, JR, enough of that 50s crap.
11:50Nobody even remembers Buddy Rogers.
11:52Let's talk about the 90s and the year 2001.
11:55What is poor Drew Carey getting himself into?
11:58I slept with him.
11:59He'd be a toughie to be in the Royal Rumble tonight.
12:02Drew's a nice guy, jovial guy.
12:04He's great.
12:05But I mean, you know, he's-
12:07I like to say, he should watch more television and watch more Royal Rumble.
12:12If he did, he wouldn't be so gullible to be willing to get in this environment with 30 men.
12:17Let me tell you what's gonna happen.
12:18I can tell you from experience, JR.
12:20We don't have to go back to the 50s, but we'll go back to the 80s and tell you that
12:26I made a huge name for myself by dropping poor old Andy Kaufman on his head.
12:31There's a cover.
12:31Here we go.
12:33Andy Kaufman was a big TV star, dropped him on his head.
12:36They talked about it all over the world for 20 years.
12:38Can you imagine what somebody's gonna do tonight to Drew Carey to make a name for
12:41themselves?
12:42And they made a movie about it that eight people saw.
12:44Yeah.
12:46I can see Steve Black can take the Kendo stick and carry his head off his shoulders.
12:55Isolating the left leg up Kurt Angle.
12:57And that has become his focus and a hard right hand as the game measures Angle.
13:02Angle on one leg, tries to counter, is countered back to right toe at the top.
13:07Man.
13:08A whole lot of force and velocity there by Kurt Angle.
13:12And Stephanie with a concerned look on her face as her husband challenging Kurt Angle for
13:20the WWF title and there's a lot of controversy why Kurt Angle is even the number one contender.
13:26Listen to this, listen, the impact into that, wait a minute,
13:32Triple H got a second offense here, this could be better, man.
13:36That is bad indeed for the game.
13:39His face just got- Stephanie's got to be big time concerned about this.
13:47Come on, Hunter.
13:48Angle lifting badly.
13:52Right hand by Kurt Angle.
13:58And the game going for the ride as Kurt Angle pulling out all the stops he can.
14:04And Angle makes sense that his title obviously in jeopardy, maybe more so.
14:10Maybe that knee is hurting worse than we know.
14:12Hey, you gotta hand it to Kurt Angle.
14:14Come on, Angle.
14:14He's not trying to be on the defensive.
14:16I mean, you know, Kurt Angle, he doesn't have to win this match.
14:18He just gotta avoid losing.
14:20But he's giving it everything he's got.
14:21He's on the offensive.
14:22He's taking it to the game.
14:26Kurt Angle getting tougher and tougher, better and better every week.
14:30And that's a scary thought for all these superstars.
14:34Speaking of superstars, I'll tell you who was the big winner this weekend.
14:38Our new president, George W.
14:40Did you see him hanging on over Kurt Angle at the inauguration?
14:43He's trying to get the rub up.
14:45I'm telling you, Kurt's a star, JR.
14:48Kurt providing the rub from George W.
14:50Uh-oh.
14:51And a triple A to that chair now.
14:53And he's down.
14:54Stephanie got the referee distracted.
14:56Hey, look.
14:58Did you hear about the steel perk of the knee of Kurt Angle?
15:02I heard him.
15:03Look at the way that that chair has been right around the leg of Kurt Angle.
15:17How is Kurt Angle able to stand?
15:19Trance, get over there and do something.
15:21Listen.
15:22Listen.
15:23Man.
15:24That's sickening.
15:25That is a sickening pud.
15:29And Angle's damage left knee, even in worse shape now.
15:34Hey.
15:36And Angle, he can barely stand up.
15:44And the cerebral assassin, Triple H, very calculating now with his strategy.
15:51And I would be very surprised to see the game focus on any other body part of
15:56Kurt Angle with the left knee.
15:58Speaking of strategy, Stratus, Trish, get over there and do something.
16:02Make yourself useful.
16:05Kurt's in a bad, bad way right now.
16:07With a bad, bad wheel.
16:09Look out.
16:10Nice tongue ball.
16:12You get a bonus without the XFL, I'm sure.
16:15Take down by the gain.
16:17And Kurt Angle holding that left knee.
16:19And the referee just asked if he wanted to give it up.
16:22And Angle saying no.
16:23Watch it behind.
16:24And another knock down.
16:26Man, Triple H has got this thing right in the palm of his hand.
16:34This whole game plan is unfolding here.
16:37As the game just torturing Kurt Angle and focusing on the left knee in every imaginable form.
16:46I assure you this is not unfolding the way that Kurt had anticipated.
16:55Angle's again being punished as the game directed that elbow right to the knee joint.
17:04And the knee of Kurt Angle has been traumatized by this onslaught of the game.
17:11Well, that's why they called him the game.
17:13He made a believer out of you and I a long time ago.
17:15No doubt about it.
17:16He's in the process of making a believer out of Kurt Angle now.
17:19And all due respect to Kurt Angle's amateur accolades, his success here in the WWF.
17:24It still remains to be seen if he or anyone is on the game's level.
17:30The thing about Triple H, he's just got that mean streak in him.
17:34I mean, he's just relentless.
17:35Well, this person, the old Indian death lock.
17:37He enjoys hurting people, and especially hurting Kurt Angle right now.
17:41Or should I say, Native American death lock.
17:46Angle, at some point in this match game, Kurt Angle, a young man has got to evaluate, do I
17:52jeopardize my career with a serious knee injury, or do I continue to fight here?
18:00And both these men fighting as hard as they can.
18:03Angle desperately trying to fight his way out of this predicament.
18:07He's just throwing desperation punches, you're right.
18:10That's part of that intensity that Kurt Angle is so famous for, JR.
18:13Angle barely out of the stand, but you gotta hand it to the champion.
18:17He's fighting back with all he has.
18:18He's handing it to the game right now, handing some big right hands.
18:21Uh-oh, telegram.
18:22Oh, man.
18:23The face flexor by the game, going for the cover, here we go.
18:27And a kick out, the near fall, and the game, turn around pressure, and
18:31another near fall as the champion.
18:34One, two, three, three, less than a count away on two occasions from losing his title.
18:44You're right, so much pressure, so much punishment.
18:47My gosh, being delivered to that left leg of Kurt Angle.
18:50That time right down on the kneecap, referee, senior referee Earl Hebner, who has,
18:56quite frankly, no love loss for either of these men.
18:59It's a good thing he's in this match.
19:00He's our most experienced official, and he could care less who wins it.
19:04Well, I'll tell you one thing, he could quit wasting his time by asking Kurt Angle if he
19:07wants to give up.
19:08I can tell you this, Kurt Angle may not win this match, but he's not gonna lose it by submitting.
19:12He's not gonna give up, that's just not in his vocabulary.
19:15You're probably right, but he's gonna do his job.
19:17And look at this, again, using the ropes for more leverage.
19:20The game driving his weight right down on that knee joint.
19:24And Kurt Angle, maybe moments away from relinquishing the title.
19:30And the game looking for figure four levlocked.
19:34The figure four levlocked by the game, a time-tested submission maneuver.
19:42I'm gonna tell you something.
19:43I'll tell you from experience, one of the most painful maneuvers in wrestling.
19:48And the game wants to dishing out the pain.
19:51And you can see, you see that right there, the right ankle, of Kurt Angle.
19:56That's where the pain is being delivered, right there.
19:59The leg, Morten Sutter will talk about the seven pressure points.
20:03There we go, the cover, and Angle almost forgetting his shoulders are down.
20:07This boot puts severe pressure on seven different parts of the lower anatomy.
20:12Your opponent uses your own leg, your leg is almost broken over your own leg.
20:19It's unbelievably painful.
20:20That's a hideous thought, and look at the game.
20:23You gotta admit, this is not showing any integrity, what's this?
20:25And- Trish, what are you doing?
20:27Trish in the ring.
20:29Hey, wait, Stephanie.
20:31Trying to get the referee's attention to Stephen Boy.
20:32Here we go.
20:34He's a, my God.
20:37Here we go, it's Aaron.
20:38My gosh, that's a pretty big role.
20:41Stephanie raving Trish's head into the, the nearest title.
20:46And Stephanie, a strong and Trish Stratus.
20:49My gosh, look out.
20:51Look how Carlos and Hugo.
20:52Get over here.
20:54I mean, wait.
20:55Wait.
20:56Uh-oh.
20:57Mr. McMahon.
20:58Hey, girls.
21:00They're claiming the chairman.
21:02Stephanie, here comes your dad.
21:03Here comes your boy.
21:04I mean, here comes-
21:05You got both friends.
21:06No, wait.
21:06Look out.
21:07No, no, no, no.
21:08Vince.
21:09You've got to lie.
21:10Separate them.
21:12Look out.
21:13Look out, Vince.
21:14Vince, look out, Vince.
21:15Vince, look clean and start.
21:15Hey, right?
21:17Whatever she is.
21:19This is bad.
21:20Vince.
21:20I've got to control yourself.
21:22I've got to control yourself.
21:23I've got to control yourself.
21:24I've got to control yourself.
21:24Please get this.
21:26You said you're the ultimate peacemaker.
21:27They've got to.
21:29They've got to.
21:30This is bad.
21:31This is bad.
21:31This is like White Trash City.
21:32And in the ring,
21:34Port Angeles now, Triple H, attention on his side.
21:37This is bad.
21:37I feel like I'm in a triangle park.
21:39I don't think Triple H can believe what he's seen.
21:41Vince, restore some order.
21:44Has anybody got anything?
21:46Uh-oh.
21:47My God.
21:49Mr. McMahon with Trish over his shoulder.
21:52That's right.
21:53He's about to take charge back.
21:56But there's Tiffany.
21:58Vince, what the?
22:03My God.
22:05Trish right on top of Mr. McMahon.
22:07Don't say that.
22:08Don't say that.
22:09Is Tiffany choking?
22:12My God.
22:14This crowd standing here and the match in the ring has literally stopped.
22:19Take charge, Vince.
22:21Man, this is embarrassing.
22:24Look out, there's Tiffany again.
22:26It's gotta be a McMahon family embarrassment.
22:29And I pray to God that Linda McMahon is not seeing this.
22:33Vince, please, billionaires don't act like this.
22:35Kurt Angle's catching a hell of a break here, King.
22:38Triple H is looking at his wife and his father-in-law and that crazy McLenn family.
22:44And England has just been given a reprieve, at least temporarily.
22:49Inside cradle, inside cradle.
22:53Whoa.
22:53My God.
22:55You're right, Kurt Angle used that time to recuperate.
22:57He almost pulled a quick one on Triple H.
22:59And the knee to the elbow to the knee, I should say.
23:03Another elbow drop, and in the game, right back on that knee.
23:07I was gonna say we should get a camera in the back, but maybe we shouldn't.
23:11Look out.
23:12The game, head first to the ring post.
23:18Do you think Mr. McMahon has embarrassed them to have that dirty laundry here in front of the world?
23:23Dirty laundry is right, and Kurt Angle now playing into Triple H's game with those right hands.
23:29I think I saw some of Trish's laundry.
23:33DDT, DDT got the champion.
23:35Kurt Angle with the DDT.
23:37They may do it.
23:38Hooks the far line, and got him here.
23:44Man, this is cool.
23:47This has unfolded, but not in a wrestling match, and I don't think that serves Angle well.
23:54Man, inverted atomic drop.
23:58What a beautiful belly, German suplex.
24:01Near fall, belly in the back suplex with a nice bridge there by Angle.
24:05How close was that, JR?
24:06About a half a count away from Kurt Angle putting away the game.
24:12Look out.
24:13Side rucks and leg sweep, nicely done.
24:15The game had things firmly in control until his wife and Trish Stratus had their all
24:22altercation that brought out Mr. McMahon.
24:25Altercation?
24:25That's like the best way you could possibly describe that, and that was,
24:31what's Angle doing here?
24:33No!
24:36Looked like a low blow to me, referee Parathom knock.
24:39I can't believe it.
24:40Wasn't that right in front of the referee?
24:41Why is this?
24:42Why is this Henry right not doing something about that?
24:46Can you tell me why?
24:47I have no idea.
24:49Modified Berthlin razor's edge.
24:51And no, he got it.
24:53No, no, no, no.
24:54A two and a half.
24:55Look, I can't believe it.
24:56That's right.
24:57And the right shoulder keeps popping up.
25:01And the third time, this time the right shoulder came up.
25:04JR, even you gotta admit that that would have been a travesty for Triple H to win the title
25:09after giving that low blow to Kurt Angle right in front of the referee.
25:11I can't deny that.
25:13And obviously the referee thought it was on the thigh apparently because he did not make that call.
25:18Uh-oh.
25:19And here they go.
25:20Every time.
25:21And Angle senses that.
25:23And counters.
25:26And Angle's hit.
25:28Inadvertently right down in the front.
25:30I thought maybe you'd think that was in the thigh also.
25:33It was not in the thigh.
25:34But it wasn't intentional either.
25:36At least I don't think it was.
25:39He's got a lot of intelligence there in that young man.
25:42You never know what's intentional and what's not intentional from him.
25:46Angle's got a golden opportunity here.
25:48You are not a high flyer, Kurt.
25:50You are not a high flyer.
25:52He is a high flyer.
25:53Angle hit the moonsault.
25:54Yes, you are a high flyer, Kurt Angle.
25:56But he hurt his knee.
25:58Angle took a chance with a high-risk move.
26:00Sorry, he hurt Triple H even more.
26:03There's a cover.
26:04Good God, how close, how close can it be?
26:09My gosh, look at this move.
26:11Have you ever seen a beautiful move by Kurt Angle?
26:15Just unbelievable athleticism.
26:18Man.
26:18Great height and hang time by Kurt Angle, but I still feel
26:22unadvised considering the condition of his knee.
26:26And there's another part of Triple H's anatomy that's bothering him now.
26:30And you can take it from there.
26:36And the game, and then Berkeley taking out the referee there.
26:40Well, it didn't more than take out the referee.
26:43Hefner, one of my best friends, he got his hand right into that guard railing out there.
26:47Angle, the right hands, but the referee is down.
26:52Man, oh man, did Angle meet that post.
26:54You don't think either one of these guys will take advantage of the fact that the referee's down, do you?
26:58Yeah, you better believe it.
27:00Just two more.
27:03Angle tossed back in the ring by the game.
27:06And the title is on the line here, and now the game uncharacteristically going away from his traditional game plan.
27:14Is he gonna become a high flyer also?
27:16It worked for Kurt Angle.
27:17Uh-oh.
27:18Man.
27:20Coming off with the arm drive.
27:22What a hellish offensive move.
27:25Man, that's worth another look there.
27:26That may have done it for Triple H, but there's no referee.
27:29There's a cover.
27:31Countdown, one, two.
27:34We're gonna count to ten.
27:35There must be so much chaos in the locker room area.
27:39We really need another referee out here.
27:41I think Hefner busted his face right into that wall over there.
27:45I think you're right.
27:54There you go.
27:55Trying to revive, I would have seen a lot better turn the official.
28:02Hefner's head.
28:05Hefner's head.
28:06Hefner's head.
28:09Hefner's head.
28:09Hefner's head, his shoulders, his side, his whole body.
28:13He's finished.
28:14Hefner, I thought it was starting to stir a little bit there.
28:17Look at him, Triple H.
28:18He stirred himself right into those middle steps.
28:23You know what?
28:24And the referee with the referee down.
28:26Don't show him a hammer, you idiot.
28:28Our timekeeper waving a hammer in front of Triple H.
28:30The game has the title belt with no referee in sight.
28:36Look at him.
28:37My God, what an overhead.
28:39Bell to belly suplex by Angle.
28:41And what these men are fighting for is lying in the ring.
28:45The title.
28:46The title that Triple H went out to get and hit Kurt Angle right in the head with.
28:51And now I think Kurt has intended to return the favor.
28:54Come on.
28:58Look at Triple H.
28:59Uh-oh.
29:00Angle from the NFL.
29:02Pedigree.
29:03Pedigree.
29:04Pedigree.
29:04Pedigree.
29:05That's it.
29:06There's the color.
29:08There's no referee inside of the ring.
29:11Four.
29:14Angle had the same predicament earlier, but no referee inside.
29:18And now Triple H experiences the same fate.
29:22Yeah, you like these guys.
29:24Why don't you go up there and count?
29:26I'm not an official.
29:28Hey, wait a minute.
29:29Wait a minute.
29:30It's Stone Cold.
29:30What?
29:32Stone Cold.
29:33What is the Rattlesnake doing out here?
29:35Stone Cold assaulting the game.
29:37What?
29:38What's he doing?
29:40Stone Cold beating the living hell out of Triple H.
29:44Hefner, look at this.
29:47The referee is still down.
29:50No.
29:52Go, go, go.
29:53Right between the eyes.
29:55Right between the eyes with the title belt.
30:00The Rattlesnake has struck the game right between the eyes.
30:05Yeah, but we still got Earl Hefner not completely senseless.
30:09What's happening now?
30:11Uh-oh.
30:12The game has been busted open.
30:14Thanks to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
30:17And Austin put the referee back in the ring.
30:20That damn Rattlesnake.
30:22Yeah, he's not through.
30:24No, that is time.
30:26The stunner.
30:27Stone Cold stunner.
30:30The flip off and then the stunner.
30:33The title belt and Austin getting some retribution against the game.
30:41Look at Kurt, I can assure you that damn Rattlesnake has been,
30:45he's been looking forward and thinking about this for weeks.
30:47Angle's got the cover.
30:48Angle's got the cover.
30:50But there's still a referee is still down.
30:53He is still down.
30:54Uh-oh.
30:55Here we go.
30:56The game is motionless.
30:59Will this be?
31:01One, two.
31:03That's two.
31:04Three.
31:05And it's over.
31:09The winner of this match, and still World Wrestling Federation champion, Kurt Angle.
31:17Well Triple H, a few weeks ago,
31:20call Stone Cold the WWF title.
31:24And by God tonight, Stone Cold has cost the game that same piece of gold.
31:33I'll tell you one thing.
31:35You can say what you want to about Stone Cold Steve Austin.
31:39Yes, his reputation precedes him.
31:41He's probably the toughest SOB ever in the WWE Open.
31:45I wouldn't want to be in his shoes when Triple H comes to.
31:48Stone Cold coming.
31:50Shocking this all out of nowhere.
31:53Assaulting Triple H.
31:54Here's the Royal Rumble.
31:56A thunderous right hand.
31:58And then a shot.
32:00Right here.
32:02Boom!
32:02Right between the eyes.
32:04And that late Triple H's open.
32:06And then, as it's up injury, flip him up.
32:09And then the center!
32:12Oh, man!
32:14Awesome just cost the game.
32:16Perhaps the WWF title.
32:19And I don't know if Triple H even knows exactly what happened.
32:21Hey, game!
32:23It was Austin!
32:24He knows who it was.
32:25It was that damn Rattlesnake!
32:26And he knows why Austin was out here too.
32:30Austin had no business interfering in this match.
32:32A match of this importance.
32:34The WWE title.
32:35And in my view, he got just what he deserves.
32:37He cost Austin a title on Raw several weeks ago, and now he knows how it feels.
32:43So you condone somebody like Triple H getting screwed out of the title because of outside interference?
32:48Just like you condone what happened to Austin a few weeks ago, and the game is livid.
32:54He is furious.
32:55I'm telling you, I wouldn't wanna be Stone Cold Steve Austin right now.
33:00Well, all I know is that Kurt Angle has retained the WWF title, and we are just-
