Transcript

00:00:14Tonight Rock,

00:00:16you're gonna have the shortest reign of any WWF champion in history.

00:00:22Because tonight Rock, inside the steel cage, you will defend the World Wrestling Federation

00:00:31Championship against my son Shane.

00:00:36The Rock says, just bring it.

00:00:39The WWF title will be at stake.

00:00:42The only way to win this match is to escape the cage.

00:00:45Wait a minute, Patterson on The Rock's face and Shane trying to make a quick exit.

00:00:50Climb Shane, climb.

00:00:52Well, The Rock played a smack down on Shane McMahon, but there's a master plan here.

00:00:57The door's open.

00:00:58Look at this.

00:00:59Trying to pull the sun out the door.

00:01:00It's a ton of war over the WWF.

00:01:03Wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:01:04Patterson, that old fool.

00:01:06And Shane from behind, Patterson was distracting The Rock.

00:01:10Shane McMahon exhorted to climb over the top of the cage.

00:01:13It's a little more.

00:01:14And become the WWF champion.

00:01:16The Rock's gonna get Shane off the top of the cage.

00:01:19He's that way out.

00:01:20They're in dangerous territory up here.

00:01:22No, look how high they are.

00:01:23No.

00:01:24Oh, Shane's head.

00:01:25This is the motor.

00:01:27Shane McMahon's unconscious.

00:01:29What did Patterson do?

00:01:30The nail referee.

00:01:32Patterson.

00:01:32Patterson wants to strike.

00:01:34And Patterson does it climb.

00:01:37Patterson's trying to succeed.

00:01:38On the top of the cage.

00:01:40He'll put you on the head.

00:01:41Breaking Manhattan.

00:01:42Rock's in the referee.

00:01:44Oh, yeah.

00:01:44Yeah.

00:01:45The fire.

00:01:46The fire on Patterson.

00:01:48The Rock got Shane by the hair.

00:01:50Shane's not close to the club with the WWF champion.

00:01:53And his feet then, pull him down.

00:01:55The Rock.

00:01:55Turn to go Shane.

00:01:57Back inside.

00:01:59Woo!

00:01:59Oh, my God.

00:02:01Burnham.

00:02:02My six.

00:02:03He's been broken.

00:02:04Shane leads back.

00:02:06No, no.

00:02:07The door on The Rock's head.

00:02:10But he opened it for Triple H to get in.

00:02:11Triple H with one arm.

00:02:13The Rock has been battered and tied by the game.

00:02:18Hey, wait a minute, JR.

00:02:19Look at this.

00:02:20Oh!

00:02:21Ender from behind.

00:02:22Grand Briscoe into the cage.

00:02:24Triple H is trying to drag Shane outside.

00:02:27Oh!

00:02:28Down!

00:02:28Down the door on the game's head.

00:02:31McMahon is chasing Earl Ender.

00:02:33The Rock is up.

00:02:34The Rock!

00:02:36The Rock!

00:02:36Can he make it?

00:02:38No!

00:02:40Yes!

00:02:41Yes!

00:02:42There may be hell to pay for Earl Ender.

00:02:46But The Rock has dodged a fatal bullet.

00:02:49Look in the face of Vince McMahon!

00:02:51His dream has been shattered!

00:02:53But that bullseye is still on the test of The Rock!

00:03:06A carbure nobody can do.

00:03:12It is a full thing I should have done!

00:03:2410 o'clock at home.

00:03:42What repercussions can Earl have now face in the hands of the McMahon Helpley regime tonight?

00:03:47And what do Mr. McMahon and company have planned for The Rock?

00:03:51Welcome to WWF SmackDown from the Soulbath Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia.

00:03:58Michael Cole, Jerry the King Lover, and Rinside.

00:04:05Ladies and gentlemen, let me first introduce the referee, Richmond's own Earl Hapner.

00:04:13Oh, please, Michael, what is this?

00:04:15It's Richmond's own Earl Hapner reinstated by Linda McMahon earlier this week.

00:04:20I can't believe he's got his own entrance here.

00:04:23Who does he think he is with that smirk on his face?

00:04:26Well, Earl Hapner is the man who played a drastic role in The Rocks regaining the title Sunday

00:04:30and thwarting the McMahon Helpley regime's plans on Raw this past Monday.

00:04:35Let's face it, entrances are for stars, not referees.

00:04:40Kicking off SmackDown, the Intercontinental title is on the line.

00:04:44A rematch after a spectacular match at Backlash.

00:04:49Y2J, Chris Jericho, the challenger against Chris Benoit.

00:05:00Tremendous ovation from Y2J.

00:05:03And it is for the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion,

00:05:09introducing the challenger of Winnipeg, Canada,

00:05:13weighing in at your 27 pounds, Chris Jericho.

00:05:18Okay, Chris Jericho came within a hair of winning the Intercontinental Championship

00:05:22in Backlash this past Sunday.

00:05:24A tremendous match against Chris Benoit.

00:05:27Yeah, but he didn't get it done.

00:05:29Look at that.

00:05:30He had to use, Y2J had to use that championship belt right in the face of Chris Benoit,

00:05:36complete disqualification.

00:05:40Chris Benoit retains the title.

00:05:46Now, after the matchup, Chris Jericho put referee Tim White in the walls of Jericho,

00:05:50and because of those actions, received a $5,000 fine.

00:05:54Well, that's not enough if you ask me.

00:05:55He should have been suspended, and certainly,

00:05:58this man should not have been forced to put the title on the line again.

00:06:01The matchup to 125 pounds is the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion,

00:06:09Chris Benoit.

00:06:12I'll say what you want about Chris Benoit,

00:06:14but he is indeed a fighting Intercontinental Champion,

00:06:18putting the title on the line not only at Backlash on Sunday,

00:06:21but this past Monday on Raw, and again here tonight.

00:06:24And at Backlash on Sunday, Chris Benoit suffered a broken nose.

00:06:30The nose broken when he flew off the top rope and ran into the Intercontinental title.

00:06:35Earl Hebner born and raised here in Richmond, Virginia.

00:06:38Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Intercontinental title on the line as we kick off SmackDown.

00:06:43Oh, look at this.

00:06:44And look at the intensity between these two great athletes.

00:06:48Look at Jericho.

00:06:49It was a tremendous match at Backlash.

00:06:50And look at Benoit, slapped across the face and won from Y2J.

00:06:54And here we go.

00:06:55Well, Y2J needs to be punished.

00:06:56Instead, he's been rewarded.

00:06:59I mean, is that any kind of message to send to the children in this country?

00:07:02That had to be another Linda McMahon dream or something.

00:07:04No love lost between these two individuals, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit.

00:07:08And what a clothesline.

00:07:10Nice move.

00:07:10From Benoit.

00:07:12Ripley Earl Hebner officiating this matchup.

00:07:14And what do you think's going through his mind?

00:07:16Do you think he's afraid of possible repercussions tonight

00:07:19at the hands of the McMahon-Helmsley regime?

00:07:21He should be afraid of repercussions,

00:07:23but I don't know what's going through his mind.

00:07:25Probably nothing.

00:07:26He is from Richmond, Virginia, you know.

00:07:28He lets his 12-year-old daughter smoke on the table in front of her kids.

00:07:32And listen to the chops from Benoit Jericho.

00:07:38Intercontinental title up for grabs

00:07:39as we kick off what should be an explosive smackdown.

00:07:43The Rock is already here, King.

00:07:45We saw the Brahma Bowl earlier on,

00:07:47and the Heldsley regime is expected to arrive momentarily.

00:07:51Oh, look at this!

00:07:52Oh!

00:07:52What a powerbomb by Jericho on Benoit!

00:07:57And look at Jericho.

00:07:59Oh-ho!

00:07:59And Benoit countered.

00:08:00Oh, yeah!

00:08:01Nice move!

00:08:02The Intercontinental Champion Chris Benoit

00:08:05putting Jericho through the rigors with a German suplex.

00:08:10One more time!

00:08:12Here's a cover, there's two!

00:08:14And Jericho kicks out before the count of three.

00:08:17Tell you what, Benoit and Jericho are polar opposites.

00:08:20Benoit's stoic, rarely smiles, very little to say,

00:08:25and Y2J always with an expression on his face,

00:08:29always running his mouth,

00:08:30but two great athletes in this match.

00:08:35And Chris Benoit methodically picking apart the challenger,

00:08:38Y2J, Chris Jericho.

00:08:43What a great way to start off SmackDown from the sold-out Richmond Coliseum.

00:08:47Listen to these idiots here in Richmond.

00:08:50What are they saying about Benoit?

00:08:54And some words now between Chris Benoit and Earl Hebner.

00:08:57You know, the further south you go, the more, the more putty mouth these fans get.

00:09:02Reversal, Benoit the champion whipped into the corner and a boot to the face of Y2J.

00:09:07Oh, what a spinning heel kick to the chin by Jericho!

00:09:11Remember when we were in Baltimore last Monday?

00:09:14Oh, the fans were awful.

00:09:15Hook of the leg.

00:09:16There's two and a kick out by Benoit.

00:09:18And King, Chris Benoit, injured that nose when he ran into the championship goal.

00:09:23Off the top rope on backlash, and it looks like he re-injured it with that spinning heel kick.

00:09:28What do you expect?

00:09:28It was broken.

00:09:31You'd be in a hospital right now, Mike.

00:09:32Oh, probably.

00:09:34Nonetheless, Benoit continuing to work on the challenger, Chris Jericho.

00:09:38Again, the people's champ, the WWF champion.

00:09:41And The Rock is here on SmackDown.

00:09:43We're expecting the arrival of the McMahon-Helmsley regime.

00:09:47What do you think they have in store for The Rock?

00:09:50Believe me, they'll be here.

00:09:51They'll have something big in store for The Rock.

00:09:53And I'm sure something has scored for this moronic Earl Hebner.

00:09:56The regime will not rest until the World Wrestling Federation title is off the waist of The Rock.

00:10:01Oh, what an elbow to the face of Chris Benoit.

00:10:04Jericho.

00:10:05Oh, a missile drop kick second rope.

00:10:06Did you know Earl Hebner's been married three times and he's still got the same in-laws?

00:10:10Are you stuck?

00:10:12Richmond, Virginia.

00:10:13Referee Earl Hebner reinstated by Linda McMahon earlier this week.

00:10:17And you know, King, Hebner over the years has refereed some of the greatest matches in WWF history

00:10:23and involved in another great one here tonight.

00:10:26Come on, man.

00:10:27Get up, Benoit.

00:10:28And Y2J really going to work on the face of Chris Benoit.

00:10:30And there's the Bulldog, Plenty Benoit, face first into the mat.

00:10:34Covered by Jericho.

00:10:35Could have a new champion, too, and Benoit gets his shoulder up.

00:10:38That's the fastest count I've ever seen, Hebner.

00:10:40Tremendous competitor, Chris Benoit.

00:10:42Boy, you mentioned Vince and Linda McMahon.

00:10:44I'd have loved to fit a flag on the wall in the McMahon mansion when Vince got home.

00:10:48Oh!

00:10:48What do you think he said to Linda McMahon?

00:10:51I shouldn't think.

00:10:53Boy, I'm just thinking the life he's given her.

00:10:56Yes!

00:10:56Chris Benoit, Jericho in trouble.

00:10:59Oh, Jericho reverses it, hooks the leg.

00:11:01Two, and Benoit kicks out again before the count of three.

00:11:06Vince McMahon's been husband of the year many times over.

00:11:09He's letting Linda leave the life of luxury, and what does she do?

00:11:11She brings back Stone Cold Steve Austin, and now Earl Hebner.

00:11:14Suplex on Jericho, and the champion Chris Benoit, the Canadian crippler.

00:11:19Feels like he's in control.

00:11:21Oh, boy.

00:11:21Here we go.

00:11:23Benoit to the top rope, Y2J in trouble, and Jericho!

00:11:26Oh!

00:11:27Nice maneuver!

00:11:29And Benoit was going for the headbutt, and Jericho countered.

00:11:32Oh!

00:11:33And now the challenger, Chris Jericho in control.

00:11:35Now, don't you think Hebner should have disqualified Jericho for a low blow right then?

00:11:39No low blow at all.

00:11:41What?

00:11:41Just knocked Benoit off his feet.

00:11:44Again, Jericho off his feet.

00:11:46Benoit up in the High Rent District again.

00:11:48Here we go!

00:11:49Off the top rope!

00:11:49Sunset Flip!

00:11:50Jericho!

00:11:51Rolls over!

00:11:52What?

00:11:53What a reversal by Jericho!

00:11:55Oh!

00:11:56He was going for the walls of Jericho when Chris Benoit countered!

00:12:00And now Benoit going for the crippler crossface!

00:12:03And he has to get locked in, King!

00:12:06Come on!

00:12:06The Intercontinental Champion going for the crippler crossface!

00:12:10Could get it locked in on Jericho!

00:12:13He's losing a lot of blood!

00:12:15Benoit is from that nose!

00:12:16Look at that!

00:12:17Look out!

00:12:17Jericho tossed over the top rope!

00:12:20That was inadvertent.

00:12:23Unintentional.

00:12:25Nonetheless, Jericho is covered in Benoit's blood.

00:12:28And Benoit buying some time.

00:12:30Look at Earl Hebner!

00:12:31Yeah!

00:12:31Look at Earl Hebner!

00:12:33How do you explain that?

00:12:34Earl Hebner pulling, oh wait a minute!

00:12:37Benoit Hebner in a shoving match!

00:12:39Hebner tossed out through the second rope!

00:12:42Good!

00:12:43Chris Benoit Hebner up!

00:12:44Jericho!

00:12:45Look at that!

00:12:46Jericho!

00:12:46Look at the title!

00:12:47To the face of Benoit!

00:12:48Cheater!

00:12:49Cheater!

00:12:50And they're lining up by Chris Jericho!

00:12:53The cover!

00:12:55Referee's down!

00:12:56Look at this!

00:12:57No way!

00:12:58It's over!

00:12:59Chris Jericho!

00:13:00The Intercontinental Champion!

00:13:07What a match!

00:13:09What a way!

00:13:10To the star of SmackDown!

00:13:12Chris Jericho!

00:13:15This is a miscarriage of justice if I've ever seen one!

00:13:19Okay, I'm not credoating Chris Jericho's actions, but Jericho may have realized this may have been his last title shot,

00:13:26considering he's not in well with the McNair Hemsley regime!

00:13:29Unbelievable!

00:13:31You watch this!

00:13:32Here's proof of confidence!

00:13:33What a cheater!

00:13:34This could not be allowed!

00:13:36Jericho wins the championship match!

00:13:38He's blaspheming long-handed!

00:13:40Let's try to hide the evidence!

00:13:41And then the lion's fault by Jericho!

00:13:44But it was Chris Benoit who shoved referee Earl Hebner out of the ring!

00:13:48It was Chris Benoit who left the referee out of the action!

00:13:52This is awful!

00:13:56Uh-oh!

00:13:57There's Triple H!

00:13:59Vince McMahon!

00:14:00The McMahon-Helmsley regime is here!

00:14:04Okay, what do you think they have planned for The Rock?

00:14:06I don't know, but they got here just in time to find out what Earl Hebner just did!

00:14:14This can't be good!

00:14:17For The Rock and Earl Hebner!

00:14:19Somebody tell him about Earl Hebner!

00:14:21Quick!

00:14:22Oh yeah!

00:14:23It's gonna be a fun evening!

00:14:27You think the McMahon-Helmsley regime has gotten a whiff of what just happened

00:14:31between Earl Hebner and Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho?

00:14:34Believe me, Vince McMahon knows everything!

00:14:36I've been waiting for this since last Monday, Michael!

00:14:39I want you to just shut up and listen, this should be great!

00:14:45A new Intercontinental Champion crowned in Chris Jericho!

00:14:49Wow!

00:14:49What else is gonna happen on what should be an explosive night on SmackDown?

00:14:54Look at this entourage!

00:14:56You talk about numbers!

00:14:58Ho ho!

00:14:59Vinnie Mack!

00:15:03A great Richmond reception for Mr. McMahon!

00:15:09How nice it is to be here in Richmond, Virginia!

00:15:16He said that with a straight face!

00:15:19Richmond, Virginia is a town of great historical significance!

00:15:26Indeed, Richmond historically is known as the capital of the Confederacy!

00:15:34We're proud of that here!

00:15:37Richmond is the home of Jefferson Davis!

00:15:40He was the president of the Confederacy!

00:15:43He was the president of the Confederacy!

00:15:43Here in Richmond, this is the location in which Patrick Henry gave his impassioned speech,

00:15:49Give me liberty or give me death!

00:15:53Man, is he smart!

00:15:55What a statesman!

00:15:58Richmond is the capital of the great state of Virginia!

00:16:03He knows everything!

00:16:05He, vì, vì, vì, vì, vì!

00:16:08Oh boy!

00:16:09Fans champing for The Rock!

00:16:10I don't think Patrick Henry had these problems.

00:16:15You're interrupting my speech.

00:16:19A bunch of morons.

00:16:22Shut up!

00:16:23However, more recently, Richmond has been known for its corrupt city council.

00:16:31Uh-oh.

00:16:33That's a fact.

00:16:34I read that in the paper.

00:16:35You read the paper?

00:16:37And as of late, Richmond is known as the home of referee Earl Hebner.

00:16:46That's even worse.

00:16:48Born and bred.

00:16:49Corrupt city council and a corrupt referee.

00:16:54Now this would be the same Earl Hebner who was reinstated as a referee by my wife, Linda.

00:17:03Uh-oh.

00:17:04Here we go.

00:17:07The same Earl Hebner who counted Triple H's shoulders down for one, two, three.

00:17:12His shoulders roll down.

00:17:14That's the same Earl Hebner, all right.

00:17:16The same Earl Hebner who raised the hand of The Rock as the new WWF champion.

00:17:22Watch out.

00:17:23He's starting to boil.

00:17:30Then, it's only right then that Earl Hebner returns back to that ring tonight here in his hometown.

00:17:39Oh, he's already been out there.

00:17:40He's already been out here.

00:17:41He's already screwed up.

00:17:42This time Earl Hebner will not be returning as a referee.

00:17:46No, tonight in that very ring, Earl Hebner will have his very first wrestling match.

00:17:56You've got to be kidding me.

00:17:58What?

00:17:59Earl's not a wrestler.

00:18:01I think I like this.

00:18:02And Earl Hebner, if you disobey my orders, that means that you've breached your contract.

00:18:09And that means not only will you be fired again this time by God, you'll stay fired.

00:18:17Earl's going to wrestle?

00:18:18That's the right thing to do, Vince.

00:18:19Good job.

00:18:20However, it wouldn't be right for Earl Hebner to have to face single competition in his first wrestling match in

00:18:27his hometown.

00:18:28That wouldn't be fair.

00:18:31So, therefore, tonight, Earl, don't refer to Earl Hebner like that.

00:18:44He is one, Vince.

00:18:46Tonight, Earl will have a tag team partner.

00:18:49Uh-oh.

00:18:50That's right.

00:18:50Tag team action.

00:18:52And Earl will be happy with this, and so will you.

00:18:55Because tonight, Earl's tag team partner will be The Rock.

00:19:02Earl Hebner and The Rock teaming here tonight.

00:19:06Watch what is going on.

00:19:09That's a formidable team.

00:19:14So, therefore, we've got Earl Hebner teaming up with The Rock to face the opposition of X-Pac.

00:19:24Oh, no.

00:19:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:28X-Pac's tag team partner.

00:19:31Oh, boy.

00:19:32The Road Doggy Doggy Doggy.

00:19:33What a match that's going to be.

00:19:36DX against Rock and Earl.

00:19:38Oh.

00:19:39And their tag team partner.

00:19:42What?

00:19:43The next World Wrestling Federation champion, Triple H.

00:19:47You've got to be kidding me.

00:19:49Three against two.

00:19:50It's really three against one.

00:19:52You see, it's two versus three.

00:19:56You might call this a handicap match.

00:20:00Big time.

00:20:01No, no.

00:20:02He means Triple H.

00:20:03However, oh, I almost forgot.

00:20:05This match will be for the World Wrestling Federation championship.

00:20:10What?

00:20:11And how do you do that in a tag match?

00:20:14Just listen.

00:20:15I'm sure he'll explain.

00:20:16Now then, if The Rock's shoulders are pinned to the mat, The Rock loses the WWF championship.

00:20:24There you go.

00:20:25Okay.

00:20:26And if The Rock's tag team partner in his very first match in his hometown, Earl Hebner,

00:20:32if Earl Hebner's shoulders are pinned for the one, two, three, The Rock loses the WWF championship.

00:20:39That's not fair.

00:20:40That's highway robbery, kid.

00:20:42Come on.

00:20:43That's very fair.

00:20:44That's brilliant.

00:20:44Earl, tonight, here in Richmond, we will crown a new World Wrestling Federation champion.

00:20:52And once again, history will be made in Richmond, Virginia.

00:20:59And this historic city, once again, will be part of history.

00:21:03This would be great.

00:21:04You've got to be kidding me.

00:21:06DX against The Rock and Earl Hebner.

00:21:09King X career suicide.

00:21:11It's not three out of two.

00:21:12It's three out of one.

00:21:14What a statesman that Vince McMahon is.

00:21:16If only Al Gore had his charisma.

00:21:18The Rock's title reign is in serious jeopardy tonight.

00:21:21Now, boy, it's just...

00:21:50I can't believe this happened.

00:21:52I can't believe it.

00:21:54Janet, you missed a spot over here.

00:21:56Janet, I've already told you I need every inch of ass off of my face.

00:22:02Well, he's correct on that count, King, because of what happened on Raw this past Monday night.

00:22:06The stink face at the hands of Rikishi.

00:22:09And apparently that's the reason that Edge and Christian are receiving facials this week.

00:22:15You know something, Edge?

00:22:17Rikishi is going to so pay for inventing that stinky, disgusting, vile move.

00:22:25I can't believe we lost the cover of Tiger Beat because of this.

00:22:30Every inch, Janet.

00:22:31Every inch.

00:22:32Stink face.

00:22:33Mamacita.

00:22:46Mamacita.

00:22:50Mamacita.

00:22:59You know, it's not going to be the only handicap match tonight.

00:23:03Rock and Earl Hebner against DX with the WWF title on the line.

00:23:38Oh, man.

00:23:38It's Edge and Rios, and then what happens?

00:23:41The beautiful prom dress gets ripped off by Lita.

00:23:44I can believe it.

00:23:45Yeah, Lita ripping off the prom dress of Chyna.

00:23:49But Eddie Guerrero, Latino Heat, well, he liked what he saw when Mamacita was stripped down to her brawn panties.

00:23:56Brawn panties, brawn panties.

00:23:58Check it out.

00:24:00That's a real, Latino Heat!

00:24:07And her opponents, making their way to the ring, Alita and Ezequiel.

00:24:14Well, on Raw this past Monday night, Chyna and Eddie Guerrero got a little bit of revenge, well, especially Chyna

00:24:20on Lita.

00:24:20Well, you got that right.

00:24:22I mean, oh, nice dropkick.

00:24:24And Lita wore the actual gown that Chyna had worn to the crown.

00:24:29She wore it after the ring, but she didn't wear it long.

00:24:31Well, Chyna wanted her prom dress back.

00:24:34Yeah, with some more brawn panties, brawn panties.

00:24:37I guarantee you this, K, Lita absolutely does not want to cut down to the ring tonight for this matchup.

00:24:43Lita extremely apprehensive to get into the ring with Chyna and Eddie Guerrero.

00:24:47I don't blame her at all.

00:24:50And speaking of apprehensive, I'm sure that referee Errol Hedger is going to be extremely apprehensive.

00:24:56Forced to get into the ring tonight to team with The Rock against Triple H, Rope Dog, and X-Pac.

00:25:02And the WWE Championship is going to be on the line.

00:25:05Oh, man.

00:25:06Should have been a little idiot.

00:25:07Can't be lucky.

00:25:09Check it out.

00:25:10And Eze Rios are delivering flowers to Lita.

00:25:13And Chyna did not like it.

00:25:15And Eddie Guerrero goes to work.

00:25:17Those were Chyna's flowers.

00:25:17And Chyna's flowers that Eddie Guerrero had delivered to the ninth winner of the world.

00:25:21And Eze Rios, oh, man, suffers the backbreaker at the hands of Eddie Guerrero.

00:25:26Got that right.

00:25:27So let me get this right, King.

00:25:29If Earl Hebner is pinned tonight by any member of D-Generation X, then The Rock loses the World Wrestling

00:25:35Federation title.

00:25:36The Rock doesn't even have to be pinned to lose his championship.

00:25:39You got it exactly right.

00:25:42What a brilliant plan by Mr. McMahon.

00:25:44The McMahon healthy regime has said it will not rest until The Rock no longer is the World Wrestling Federation

00:25:51champion.

00:25:52And I have to admit, King, the plan this evening looks ingenious.

00:25:55Look at this.

00:25:56The Latino Heat is being turned up on Eze Rios.

00:25:59Great double team with Mamacita and Latino Heat and Chyna delivering the kicks to the small of the back of

00:26:05Eze Rios.

00:26:06Yeah, but you know Chyna can't wait to get her hands on lovely Rita Lita together.

00:26:11Watch this.

00:26:12Slam by Chyna.

00:26:13Watch this.

00:26:14Eddie Guerrero.

00:26:14The top bit of the gut of Eze Rios.

00:26:17And Mamacita and Latino Heat working well together, King.

00:26:21And look at Lita.

00:26:22You're right.

00:26:23She is not anxious to get in that ring.

00:26:26Eddie Guerrero, the European champion.

00:26:29You just saw Lita looking on.

00:26:31And Eze Rios right hands to Guerrero.

00:26:34And Eze Rios misses with Anziguri.

00:26:38Boom.

00:26:38Wow.

00:26:39And Eze Rios falling back at Eddie Guerrero.

00:26:42Caught him in the chin.

00:26:43And Eze Rios with a drop kick to Chyna.

00:26:46Mamacita.

00:26:49Eze Rios a tremendous actor.

00:26:50Hey, look at Lita.

00:26:51And look at Lita taking advantage of the ball in Chyna.

00:26:54Kick a woman.

00:26:55She's down.

00:26:56Eze Rios slamming the ring.

00:26:57Hooks the leg.

00:26:58Couple of other.

00:26:59Two.

00:26:59And a kick out.

00:27:00Uh-oh.

00:27:01Look at the ninth one in the world.

00:27:03Chyna is not happy.

00:27:04She's got Lita in her sights.

00:27:06And Lita's running for her dear life.

00:27:09This is a tag team matchup.

00:27:11Eze Rios and Lita against Eddie Guerrero in Chyna.

00:27:13But if I'm Lita, I'm going nowhere near the ring.

00:27:17Here, Lita.

00:27:18I'm out of here.

00:27:19Up over the top, Eze Rios, Eddie Guerrero.

00:27:22Sweet footlock of his own and a nice arm drag by Eze Rios.

00:27:26And Eddie Guerrero, and look at Lita taking advantage.

00:27:31Referee pulled away by Eze Rios and Lita delivering a shot, and then a foot to the kidney of Eddie

00:27:36Guerrero.

00:27:37Wow.

00:27:38Lita's sneaky.

00:27:41Sneaky?

00:27:42Reversal, Eze Rios.

00:27:43Off the ropes.

00:27:46What a maneuver by Eddie Guerrero.

00:27:48Nice move from Latino Heat.

00:27:50I still can't believe The Rock's being forced to team with Earl Hefner later on tonight against D-Generation X.

00:27:57Oh, look at this.

00:27:57Look out.

00:27:59Look at that.

00:27:59Oh, right to the sternum of Eze Rios.

00:28:03I'll tell you, Chyna and Eddie Guerrero are cooking as a tag team here on SmackDown.

00:28:08It's not the only place they cook.

00:28:10Oh!

00:28:11It's been a wild night already.

00:28:12Chris Jericho, the new Intercontinental Champion.

00:28:15I heard they have their flame-retarded sheets on their bed.

00:28:18Double tag down.

00:28:19And Chyna and Eze Rios both need to make tags.

00:28:22But Nita, he's...

00:28:23And now Lita wants to make the tag team.

00:28:26I think it's Chyna's down.

00:28:28Lita, like a vulture, wants to pick up the falling pieces.

00:28:32Oh, look out.

00:28:33Lita, tremendous athlete.

00:28:35Not to mention a nice shoulder.

00:28:36And won a counter by Chyna.

00:28:38Ow!

00:28:39And the next one in the world.

00:28:41And her hands on Lita.

00:28:42Her hands, that's not all.

00:28:43Look out.

00:28:44Lita.

00:28:45Boom!

00:28:46By Chyna.

00:28:47Thundering off the mat.

00:28:48And I'm a broker in half.

00:28:51And Chyna stalking her prey.

00:28:53Eddie Guerrero ripping Eze Rios into the barricade to leave Chyna alone with Lita.

00:28:58Oh, this is going to be a massacre.

00:29:00Lita's in deep, deep trouble.

00:29:01Look at the strength of Chyna.

00:29:03The next one in the world.

00:29:06Remember the animal?

00:29:07That's going to be nothing compared to this slaughter.

00:29:10And Chyna makes quick work of Lita.

00:29:18And Chyna, prove your point.

00:29:20I'm a good idea.

00:29:23Eddie Guerrero and Chyna pick up the victory in tag team action.

00:29:28What do you think they do to celebrate?

00:29:30Oh, are you kidding me?

00:29:33A couple of frijoles and it is a...

00:29:35Oh, hot the up time.

00:29:37Okay, we got to take another look at the awesome strength and power of the ninth winner of the world,

00:29:43Chyna.

00:29:43Check this out.

00:29:44Check this out.

00:29:45Oh, oh, oh, man.

00:29:48And the tremendous strength of Chyna as well.

00:29:53The ninth winner of the world making a statement to Lita.

00:29:58So Chyna and Eddie Guerrero with a big victory.

00:30:10This man, Kurt Angle, was at the premiere of the blockbuster movie Gladiator this past Monday night.

00:30:15He claims he was the personal guest of Steven Spielberg.

00:30:18Well, that's true.

00:30:19It's true.

00:30:20It's true.

00:30:20I mean, and I'm going to assure you that Steven Spielberg is thinking about doing another movie, the present life

00:30:25story of Kurt Angle.

00:30:26Let me pick up the list.

00:30:30It's true.

00:30:31It's true.

00:30:32You know, I have a little problem with my opponent tonight, Hardcore Holly.

00:30:37Uh-oh.

00:30:38You see, when I think of the word Hardcore, I think of Hardcore Pornography.

00:30:44Uh-oh.

00:30:47What is wrong with you people?

00:30:49There are children here tonight.

00:30:52You think of Hardcore all the time, don't you, Michael?

00:30:54We're in a state where the motto is, Virginia is for lovers.

00:31:00What's wrong with that?

00:31:02Pornography.

00:31:03And not to be a critic, but as I look around the crowd tonight, I realize that motto should be

00:31:11extended a little bit further.

00:31:13Hey.

00:31:14Maybe something like this.

00:31:16Virginia is for lovers, provided those lovers are not from the same family.

00:31:22And that, my friends, is true.

00:31:25It's true.

00:31:26It's true.

00:31:26Look at this crowd here tonight.

00:31:28This is one big family reunion.

00:31:29The Olympic hero, Kurt Angle, not endearing himself in the crowd in Richmond.

00:31:34I'll tell you, though, Angle and his opponent should get along well.

00:31:37You know why?

00:31:37Why?

00:31:38They both run their mouths a lot.

00:31:39Hardcore Holly.

00:31:41You're right.

00:31:42Looks like he's ready to speak.

00:31:44Kurt, Kurt, just two things.

00:31:49One, I don't give a rat's ass about your philosophy, and neither do these people.

00:31:57Because they can't understand his philosophy.

00:32:01And two, Virginia might be for lovers, but it sure as hell ain't a place for a 30-year-old

00:32:10virgin who's about to get his ass kicked.

00:32:1330-year-old virgin?

00:32:15I thought that's what he said.

00:32:16It's Hardcore Holly and Kurt Angle.

00:32:18And here we go.

00:32:19Should be a physical matchup on SmackDown.

00:32:22Well, I know for a fact that Kurt Angle is not 30.

00:32:25Oh, Hardcore Holly looking to make a name for himself against the Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle.

00:32:30Leap frog up over Holly, kick to the midsection.

00:32:32And Holly's cooking here.

00:32:34Oh, man, what a slam on the Olympic gold medalist.

00:32:38First cover of the matchup, hook of the leg, two, and Angle gets the shoulder up.

00:32:43Earl Hebner's a virgin wrestler.

00:32:45Yeah.

00:32:46Virgin wrestler with his first matchup tonight in his hometown of Richmond.

00:32:49Forced a team with The Rock against DX with the WWF title on the line.

00:32:54Oh, man.

00:32:54You know, King, The Rock dodged the bullet Monday night on Raw.

00:32:58But how in the world is he going to beat three guys here tonight?

00:33:00Triple H, Road Dog, and X-Pac.

00:33:03Well, that's just basically.

00:33:05You said it.

00:33:05He dodged it Monday night.

00:33:07But The Rock is not bulletproof.

00:33:09I mean, you throw Earl Hebner out of the mix, basically.

00:33:11He's going to be a non-factor in my mind.

00:33:14So it's a three-on-one.

00:33:15It's a handicap match.

00:33:17You're right.

00:33:17It is a handicap match.

00:33:18But it's two against two.

00:33:20How do you figure that?

00:33:21Because you saw Triple H.

00:33:23Oh!

00:33:23Triple H is injured.

00:33:25He's handicapped.

00:33:26Well, King, I've got to ask you.

00:33:27How severe is Triple H's injury?

00:33:29You saw his arm in his sling.

00:33:31A slight shoulder injury in the match against the Rocket Backlash.

00:33:34I have it on good authority that his shoulder is very injured.

00:33:37Well, we saw him do a number on the rock.

00:33:39Oh, man.

00:33:40Into the post.

00:33:41Wow.

00:33:41We saw Triple H do a number on the rock.

00:33:43Arm and sling it all inside that steel cage when he got on Raw.

00:33:47Yeah, but he was writhing in pain when he did it.

00:33:49Well, it didn't look like that to me.

00:33:51And Hardcore Holly went back into the ring.

00:33:53And Kurt Angle going to work.

00:33:55Oh, belly to belly on Hardcore Holly.

00:33:57Push the leg.

00:33:58Here's the cover in a kickout after two.

00:34:01Nonetheless, arm and sling or not, Triple H will compete tonight with X-Pac and Road Dog

00:34:06against The Rock and Earl Hedner.

00:34:07And keep in mind, if Earl Hedner's pinned, or even if he submits, the title changes hands.

00:34:13The Rock's the longer champion.

00:34:14Right, and it's not if, it's when.

00:34:17When Earl Hedner's pinned or smilts.

00:34:19What do you think Earl Hedner's gonna wear to the ring?

00:34:22He's got some little wrestling tights or something like that?

00:34:25I shudder to think.

00:34:26I mean, come on, he's not an athlete.

00:34:28The only thing athletic about him is his feet.

00:34:31Hardcore Holly up over the top.

00:34:32Nice leapfrog by Kurt Angle.

00:34:34And Kurt Angle, wait a minute.

00:34:36Looked like he's hurt.

00:34:37Oh, no.

00:34:37Hey, he's falling on that knee.

00:34:38Stop the match.

00:34:40Kurt Angle favoring that right knee.

00:34:42Yes, the man's too valuable.

00:34:43It's like a thoroughbred.

00:34:45Perhaps somewhere we can see that replay and see if he came down on that knee roll, King.

00:34:50Who's your role model, Earl Hedner?

00:34:52Well, Hardcore Holly's looking to take advantage of that injured knee of Kurt Angle.

00:34:56All right, Holly, cut it out.

00:34:57Well, he's showing no compassion at all.

00:35:00It's a competitive business, King.

00:35:02You know that.

00:35:03Wait a minute.

00:35:04Hardcore Holly.

00:35:05No.

00:35:05Kurt Angle.

00:35:06Here's the cover.

00:35:07It's over.

00:35:08Kurt Angle picks up the win.

00:35:11That's intelligence and integrity.

00:35:15Kurt Angle.

00:35:16And Hardcore Holly with a dropkick to Kurt Angle.

00:35:19What's up here?

00:35:20Where's the referee when you need him?

00:35:21He's got Earl Hedneritis.

00:35:22Well, the referee, in a shoving match with Hardcore Holly, shoved Hardcore right into Kurt Angle.

00:35:28And Angle capitalized, but me and all.

00:35:31Wait a minute.

00:35:33What's hard to do with Holly doing?

00:35:35Oh, no.

00:35:36Right into the steel chair.

00:35:40Is he crazy?

00:35:44He's a great American hero.

00:35:46Well, his nickname's Hardcore.

00:35:49I'm not talking about him.

00:35:50I'm talking about Kurt Angle.

00:35:51Hardcore Holly loves to fight.

00:35:53He loves to compete.

00:35:54And Kurt Angle is out.

00:35:57Oh, look out, King.

00:35:59It's easy to back that thing up.

00:36:00Handicap match is on the way.

00:36:02Oh, my gosh.

00:36:03For KC in his backside.

00:36:05Meet the tag team champ.

00:36:07Agent Christian, next.

00:36:09In the ring.

00:36:11On the stage.

00:36:13In the locker room.

00:36:14They are chanting The Rock's name.

00:36:17Holly, Holly, Holly.

00:36:20And now he's in your living room on home video.

00:36:23The Rock, The People's Champ, is 90 minutes of action, entertainment, and exclusive never-before-seen footage.

00:36:30Get your copy on VHS or grab the DVD and enjoy many extras with the most electrifying man in sports

00:36:37entertainment.

00:36:38The Rock, The People's Champ, available now wherever videos are sold.

00:36:44Will the Richmond Coliseum be the last place The Rock will visit as WWF Champion?

00:36:49It sure looks that way, King.

00:36:51The Rock and Earl Hefner, a referee, to take on DX for the title on the line tonight.

00:36:56It's gonna be huge.

00:36:57It's gonna be bigger.

00:36:58Well, it's certainly bigger than that statue, bigger than this entire Coliseum.

00:37:01It's gonna be great.

00:37:04And here come the Tag Team Champions, Edge and Christian, who have become rather full of themselves since they've won

00:37:10the Tag Team Titles.

00:37:30They can't do that, that entrance through the people, the people just can't keep their hands off of them.

00:37:37I mean, they're reaching out, pulling their clothes off, tearing their hair out.

00:37:40It's unbelievable.

00:37:41You know, we just want to let all of our fans know that there's absolutely nothing to be alarmed about

00:37:48because our faces are now absolutely 100% ass-free.

00:37:55Oh-ho, good!

00:37:58So, Rikishi, you will rue the day that you ever decided to wear a thong in the ring and disgrace

00:38:06the faces that these people love.

00:38:09I thought it was pretty funny.

00:38:10Those faces will be on the cover of People Magazine, anything, or GQ, or whatever.

00:38:15Magic Christian handicap action against this man.

00:38:18He weighs in at 424 pounds, Rikishi Batuu.

00:38:27Magic Christian suffered a stick face at the hands of Rikishi this past week on Raw, perhaps another one on

00:38:32the way tonight.

00:38:34Well, WWE Judgment Day is brought to you by Army Mid-World War, the video game by 3DO.

00:38:40Judgment Day will be live May 21st from the sold-out Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky.

00:38:48Well over 400 pounds, Rikishi set for action.

00:38:51You know, Ken Rikishi, part of a huge card a week from this Saturday in Cincinnati.

00:38:56Saturday Night Live is huge.

00:38:58And also Sunday in Columbus, Ohio, Sunday, May 14th.

00:39:02The Rock, the WWF Champion in Columbus, Ohio, a week from Sunday as well.

00:39:08Oh, no.

00:39:08Oh, please.

00:39:10As the t-shirt says, back it up.

00:39:14Look at these guys.

00:39:15Can you imagine those nice-looking faces?

00:39:17Scrammed up in that crack.

00:39:18Oh, double-team effort met by a double clothesline by Rikishi and another one.

00:39:23And Rikishi hammer it away on Edge and Christian.

00:39:26If that Rikishi's not careful, they'll chip their perfect teeth.

00:39:29Oh, these guys are going to be on the cover of American Dental Magazine.

00:39:32That's pretty good considering they're Canadians.

00:39:34Look out now.

00:39:36The tag team champs in trouble.

00:39:37Look out!

00:39:38Rikishi's going over 400 pounds, making an Edge in Christian's Sandwich.

00:39:42Oh, my gosh.

00:39:44Oh, no.

00:39:45Uh-oh.

00:39:46Get out of there, Edge!

00:39:47Edge is in position.

00:39:49And the stick face again!

00:39:50Rikishi's back in it up.

00:39:53Get away!

00:39:54It's time to Edge again!

00:39:56So much for the facials!

00:39:59He's been soiled!

00:40:01Oh, please!

00:40:02Oh, look out!

00:40:03Rikishi, Christian, it's home!

00:40:07Hey, Christian!

00:40:08Oh, what a spear by Edge!

00:40:09Edge with a tremendous spear!

00:40:11There you go!

00:40:11Now the double-team to Rikishi!

00:40:14Edge might just leave the ring and try to watch the stakes or something quickly.

00:40:18You know, if that stuff gets in your hair, it'll never come out!

00:40:20How do you know?

00:40:21The double-team on Rikishi, and Edge of Christian, the tag team champions, in control.

00:40:27I think your wife told me, Michael.

00:40:28Oh, and a double headbutt to Rikishi.

00:40:32Come on!

00:40:33Hey, Christian, going for the first cover of the matchup.

00:40:35There's two, and Rikishi kicks out with authority.

00:40:37Oh, my gosh.

00:40:40You know, it's hard enough being tag team champions, and having every tag team in the

00:40:43world wrestling federation gunning for you, can't you?

00:40:46Look out!

00:40:47Their arrogance aren't going to make them any friends.

00:40:50Based on arrogance, it's confidence.

00:40:52Rikishi knocked down outside the ring.

00:40:55And the big guy's in trouble.

00:40:56These guys are like rock stars.

00:40:57I'm telling you, on the way we go crazy when they come over the top, bro.

00:41:01Don't hate him just because they're beautiful, Michael.

00:41:03Delivering the forearm to Rikishi.

00:41:05I don't hate him because they're beautiful.

00:41:06I just don't like their attitude.

00:41:08Look at that kind of cheese.

00:41:09No!

00:41:10And shoulder first into the ring post.

00:41:13Referee Jimmy Cordero is admonishing the count as Rikishi delivers the right hand to Christian.

00:41:20Rikishi back into the ring.

00:41:23Referee calling for the bell.

00:41:25What happened?

00:41:26Rikishi puts on the win.

00:41:28The winner of the smacker is on the ring count.

00:41:31It's another O head and a referee deal.

00:41:34And did Christian count it out.

00:41:35But now the double team continues on Rikishi.

00:41:39You know what?

00:41:39I fire every one of these stupid referees if it were me.

00:41:42Why?

00:41:42That was a fine call.

00:41:43What are you talking about?

00:41:45They were counted out of the ring.

00:41:46Oh, here we go.

00:41:46Oh, look out.

00:41:48Look out now.

00:41:48Remember Backlash, King.

00:41:50And it's using the bell.

00:41:52Delivering stitches to Edge Park.

00:41:53And it was too cool.

00:41:55Rikishi's running, but he's back in the face of Edge.

00:42:00Christian, look out.

00:42:02And Christian into the corner.

00:42:04Scotty, too high.

00:42:06Face first.

00:42:07Listen to this crowd.

00:42:09Look at that face.

00:42:12You know what this means?

00:42:13He's getting working.

00:42:14Who are you in the world?

00:42:24Scotty, too high.

00:42:26With the chomp to Christian.

00:42:28Rikishi into cool cleaning house.

00:42:32And the tag team champions escape and dodge with the titles.

00:42:38They don't deserve to be treated like this.

00:42:41That's a jealousy.

00:42:43Rikishi wants some more.

00:42:47Rikishi wants some more.

00:42:49But you know what the crowd wants.

00:42:50Rikishi wants some more food is what he wants.

00:42:54You see it again.

00:42:55Survival of the fantasy.

00:42:57Oh, no.

00:42:58He's going to dance.

00:43:04And there are the shades.

00:43:06And you know what happened when the shades go on?

00:43:11You can read it on the Richter scale.

00:43:14It's a transformation for Rikishi.

00:43:17You're half right.

00:43:19Came the first time in a long time.

00:43:23Did Grandmaster Sexface knee surgery.

00:43:26That they boogie down in the ring.

00:43:31Well, all of these boys here in Richmond are going to be having a good time now.

00:43:35And you know, check it out.

00:43:36It looks like Grandmaster Sexface lost his stuff at all.

00:43:38Well, there'll be no dancing later on when your hometown boy Earl Hefner gets out here.

00:43:44Earl Hefner of the Rock against Triple H.

00:43:58He's got some moves, don't he?

00:44:00Yeah, but can he Riverdance?

00:44:03Riverdance?

00:44:04Looking good, looking good.

00:44:06You know, to our chick is kind of thirsty.

00:44:08Yeah?

00:44:08I don't have a dollar or a quarter in here.

00:44:18I love how you hide things like that.

00:44:20What is...

00:44:20Isn't that clever?

00:44:22It is.

00:44:22It is clever.

00:44:23What?

00:44:24Excuse us.

00:44:26Excuse you?

00:44:27Uh-oh.

00:44:27There's no excuse for you.

00:44:29The way you treat women and try to, you know, you put them through tables.

00:44:34I don't know who you think you're talking to,

00:44:36but these are two girls that you don't mess with.

00:44:41You know, it's pretty pathetic when two men have to pick on women

00:44:45to make themselves feel strong and powerful.

00:44:49Did you hear us?

00:44:50Tell them, Tor.

00:44:52Pathetic.

00:44:52Read my lips.

00:44:54Pathetic.

00:44:55You're a poor excuse for men.

00:45:00Hmph.

00:45:02Hey, man.

00:45:04What are you, mine?

00:45:06Do you know what the repercussion is of putting that girl through a table?

00:45:11You don't think you would, do you?

00:45:13Would?

00:45:17And now, the WWF Food of the Week, brought to you by Luggs.

00:45:20That's Luggs.

00:45:21Rugged boots and shoes with an attitude.

00:45:23Since you never know where you'll end up.

00:45:25Where your Luggs at.

00:45:28Save yourself!

00:45:29Chris, let's go!

00:45:30Get the hell off!

00:45:31Tidak Beckett!

00:45:32Kits it!

00:45:33Kits everybody inside!

00:45:34Oh, that's not about this face!

00:45:36Wait a minute!

00:45:37I think I see Cole!

00:45:39They did it!

00:45:40Oh, no!

00:45:41No, it didn't!

00:45:42Bubba's a death.

00:45:43That's a good look!

00:45:43The pump to hockey!

00:45:44He will score!

00:45:46Oh, look at the goal!

00:45:49Luggs.

00:45:50Decide and conquer.

00:45:53Okay, miraculously, Chris Stratus was shaking up badly, but nothing was broken.

00:45:57But did you see the look in Bubba Ray's eyes before the break?

00:46:00He was looking at Stephanie McHouse, waiting to score it.

00:46:04Yeah, I did!

00:46:05That was scary!

00:46:06That's a good point, do you?

00:46:07That following tag team contest is figure four, one fall.

00:46:12This is a little bit from the camera, North Carolina, out of the bottom weight on the 130 pounds, Matt

00:46:18Agtep, the 40 boys!

00:46:23Well, Michael, tonight, WWF SmackDown is brought to you by 1-800-COLLECT!

00:46:29It's the easy way to say, and by Weiner Nutrition, the science of building a better body,

00:46:34we say 20% on all Metaform and Weiner products at G&T stores until June 1st.

00:46:39And by The Rock, the People's Champ, now available from WWF Home Video.

00:46:45Look for it on VHS, DVD, wherever videos are sold.

00:46:49I was asking about Bubba Ray Gunnall.

00:46:51You don't think he'd actually think about Stephanie and Tony and his fans?

00:46:53Well, your actual words were.

00:46:54You said you don't think he would.

00:46:56You said would!

00:46:57Right.

00:46:58You know what he thinks about wood, you have to get wood!

00:47:04So, TNA on their way to the ring alone, Trish Stratus, obviously, is still out of action.

00:47:09Yeah, to me, TNA just ain't the same without Trish.

00:47:14Well, TNA got some measure of revenge against the Dudley Boys on Raw this past Monday night.

00:47:21But a tremendous matchup here, TNA against the Hardy Boys, an important match for both these teams, Kang,

00:47:27as they look to climb into contention for the Tag Team titles.

00:47:30Held by Edge and Christian.

00:47:33Well, talked about how Edge and Christian are, I mean, they're like rock stars.

00:47:38You gotta be, you saw the reaction of the young girls out here as Edge and Christian came down.

00:47:44But the Hardys get a similar reaction, and very much so.

00:47:47And it's Matt Hardy and Albert locking it up in the center of the ring.

00:47:52So the Rock teams with referee Earl Hebner tonight will take on Triple H and D-Generation X with the

00:47:59World Wrestling Federation title on the line.

00:48:01I mean, it's gonna be funny.

00:48:03Earl Hebner couldn't beat a drum, you know that.

00:48:05Well, Earl Hebner, if he's pinned or submits, The Rock loses the title, plain and simple.

00:48:09It's just gonna be a matter of time.

00:48:11Can you, can you just visualize this?

00:48:14Earl Hebner trying to do the referee's elbow, or cocking the referee's eyebrow.

00:48:21Well, think about it, Kang.

00:48:22I mean, if The Rock chooses to make a tag tonight, Earl Hebner, The Rock's championships have got it.

00:48:27Right.

00:48:27If he doesn't make the tag, then it's a three-on-one.

00:48:29So The Rock is damned if he does.

00:48:31He's damned if he doesn't.

00:48:32What does he do?

00:48:33He's damned.

00:48:34Albert misses with the right angle, Matt Hardy sliding underneath the bottom rope and drawing Albert out inside the ring.

00:48:40There's the tag to Jeff.

00:48:41Albert never saw the tag made.

00:48:44That looked like a climb still chasing a thoroughbred.

00:48:47And Jeff Hardy from behind, and it allows the Hardy Boys to double-team the 360-pound Albert.

00:48:51Oh, look out.

00:48:52Oh, whipped across the ring.

00:48:53It needs Hardy Boys.

00:48:58Two great teams.

00:48:59Jeff Hardy covered, kicked out with authority by Albert.

00:49:02Well, I'm glad he landed on the referee, because it gasped me as more bad officiating.

00:49:05And look at the strength of Albert.

00:49:08T and A with the strength.

00:49:09Hardy Boys with the quickness.

00:49:12Oh, look at that.

00:49:12But look at Jeff, laying it on his feet.

00:49:14And a drunk kick to the face.

00:49:16Man, oh, man.

00:49:17I can't believe it.

00:49:19I'm impressed every single night I watch these Hardy Boys.

00:49:22Watch Jeff Hardy fly there.

00:49:24Right into the face of A.

00:49:26Oh.

00:49:27Jeff Hardy delivering the right-handed test.

00:49:30T.

00:49:32And here's the white hands in the face of Albert.

00:49:35And look out.

00:49:36Jeff Hardy's out there.

00:49:38No man's lands.

00:49:40Trying to counter Albert.

00:49:41And look at the tremendous strength of Albert.

00:49:44Oh, man.

00:49:45What a powerbomb.

00:49:47Oh, man.

00:49:48It is right.

00:49:49And Albert with the cover.

00:49:50This should be over.

00:49:51And Matt Hardy breaks up the three count.

00:49:54Come on, man.

00:49:57Take a look at the power of Albert's game.

00:50:01And the double-team by T&A on Jeff Hardy.

00:50:05Not just the power of Albert.

00:50:06Look at the size of Albert's head.

00:50:08The biggest I've ever seen.

00:50:09J.R. told me that Albert wore an eight and three-eighths size football helmet in college.

00:50:15That's huge.

00:50:16Oh, look at that full Nelson slam.

00:50:19Hook of the leg by Tess.

00:50:20Two.

00:50:21And Jeff Hardy somehow kicks out.

00:50:23Well, because that was about a five count.

00:50:26You know these referees like Teddy Long?

00:50:29These guys look at Earl Hebner as their role model.

00:50:31Well, you don't have to worry about Earl Hebner any more here tonight because Earl Hebner is wrestling.

00:50:35He's not refereeing.

00:50:36The senior official of the World Wrestling Federation is dining wrestling tights here tonight.

00:50:41And he's going to team with The Rock.

00:50:43You're right.

00:50:43Earl Hebner will never be a role model wrestler.

00:50:46You know, Earl Hebner is in the prime of his referee career right now.

00:50:50What?

00:50:50But he's not in the prime of his athletic career.

00:50:52You got that right?

00:50:54I mean, he weighs 140 pounds soaking wet, as he said earlier on.

00:50:58And he's being forced into a WWF Championship match.

00:51:02Look at that!

00:51:03Jeff Hardy taking out Albert.

00:51:06The Hardy Boys love to fly.

00:51:08And what a maneuver.

00:51:10They fly first class, though.

00:51:12Yeah, they're Daredevils.

00:51:15Jeff needs to make a tag to his partner, Matt, his brother.

00:51:18And A needs to make a tag to T.

00:51:22The Hardy Boys were never supposed to be here.

00:51:24King, they were long shots.

00:51:26Tag.

00:51:26Oh, look at this.

00:51:27Matt Nervous from the hills of North Carolina.

00:51:30And here's Matt Hardy.

00:51:32Test misses right hand.

00:51:33Matt Hardy counters.

00:51:35And again.

00:51:36Look at that hair bullet.

00:51:38Come on.

00:51:39Kick to the midsection.

00:51:40Oh, man!

00:51:42I think there should be a significant fight for that hair.

00:51:44Oh, look at that!

00:51:45A swinging DDT by Matt Hardy.

00:51:48Oh, 8-3-8's gotten hit.

00:51:50Uh-oh.

00:51:52Oh, man!

00:51:53This is the train to fake.

00:51:54Cover.

00:51:55Two.

00:51:56And Albert breaks up the three-count.

00:51:58What a tremendous matchup by two tremendous tag teams.

00:52:03And Matt Hardy and Test exchanging blows.

00:52:05Jeff Hardy outside the ring, and it allows the double team here for T and A.

00:52:09Right into the corner.

00:52:11And look at Albert with that right uppercut.

00:52:15And Test.

00:52:16Here's that pump handle.

00:52:19Oh, look out.

00:52:20Hey, wait, wait.

00:52:22Jeff Hardy, let go, right?

00:52:23Jeff's got his brother.

00:52:24Albert makes it pay.

00:52:26What a slam by Test.

00:52:28Look out.

00:52:29Jeff Hardy top right.

00:52:31You idiot.

00:52:36The referee never saw it.

00:52:38Matt Hardy with the cover.

00:52:40There's two.

00:52:41It's over.

00:52:41The Hardy boys defeat T and A.

00:52:44One, two, three, two.

00:52:45You're right.

00:52:46The referee is the referee.

00:52:47He's hepperized.

00:52:48No, because he was arguing with Albert.

00:52:50He's hepperized.

00:52:51Albert may have cost his own partner the matchup by arguing with the referee.

00:52:55Uh-oh.

00:52:56But this does not look good for Matt Hardy.

00:52:59T and A with a double team.

00:53:01I'll tell you, T and A King have been in foul moods since the injury to Trish and backlash.

00:53:07Yeah, I wonder what she's thinking watching this.

00:53:10Come on, gotcha now.

00:53:11Yes!

00:53:12Oh, look out.

00:53:14Tremendous strength by Albert.

00:53:17Oh, man.

00:53:20Where is he going?

00:53:21I don't know, but do you think the referee should be allowing this?

00:53:24He had to step right in there to serve his authority, but no, he's hepperized.

00:53:28Oh, what an elbow by Test.

00:53:32Well, the Hardy boys won the matchup, but T and A sending a serious message.

00:53:38Okay, speaking of Earl Hetner, Jonathan Coachman standing by with Earl Hetner.

00:53:43This is going to be an interesting interview.

00:53:46Well, Earl, I can't even imagine how you're feeling right now.

00:53:49Imagine how I'm feeling.

00:53:50How in the hell would you be feeling if you had to go out there and do something that you

00:53:54don't do?

00:53:55I'm a referee.

00:53:56I'm not a wrestler.

00:53:57And they are forcing me, you know, forcing me to go out there and get my ass kicked or lose

00:54:03my job.

00:54:05Now, if you do get your ass kicked tonight and are covered one, two, three in the middle of the

00:54:08ring,

00:54:09how are you going to feel about being the person that single handedly cost The Rock his title?

00:54:13I'm going to feel awful.

00:54:14But what kind of condition am I going to be in to make a living for my family?

00:54:18Tell me. Tell me.

00:54:19All I got to say is good luck.

00:54:22Good luck, girl.

00:54:24And now the fastest slam of the week brought to you by Western Union,

00:54:28the fastest way to send money worldwide.

00:54:30The WWE title about to be decided.

00:54:33Only way to win this match is to escape The King.

00:54:37Oh, my God.

00:54:39Oh, my God.

00:54:40King up on top of The King.

00:54:42Can he make this?

00:54:44Yes.

00:54:45The Rock has dodged a fatal bullet.

00:54:50Well, King The Rock dodged the bullet on Raw this past Monday night.

00:54:53I don't know if he'll have the same fate here on SmackDown.

00:54:57Did you hear Earl Hefner earlier?

00:54:59He said, I'm not a wrestler.

00:55:01He can't even pronounce as much better by the people.

00:55:03Hey.

00:55:03What?

00:55:04What is this?

00:55:06Hey, what is it?

00:55:07I don't know.

00:55:08Oh, no.

00:55:10What in the world?

00:55:12Well, I can tell you what in the world.

00:55:14It's the world's largest athlete.

00:55:16Look at that.

00:55:16The World Contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:55:18Making it quatering, making his World Wrestling Federation debut.

00:55:22From parts unknown, weight unknown.

00:55:26Bet you haven't heard that in a long time.

00:55:29Shonan the Barbarian.

00:55:33What in the world is it?

00:55:35Shonan the Barbarian.

00:55:37Shonan.

00:55:38Oh, my.

00:55:39He's got the biggest sword I've ever seen on a man.

00:55:41Well, it's the biggest man we've ever seen.

00:55:43Seven, two, five hundred pounds.

00:55:45The big show.

00:55:46Shonan the Barbarian.

00:55:51I will crush my enemies beneath my feet.

00:55:54I will show no mercy.

00:55:56For I am Shonan the Barbarian.

00:56:03He's just having a blast, King.

00:56:05He's having a blast, right?

00:56:06And his opponent from Cobb County, Georgia.

00:56:10Weighing in at 287 pounds.

00:56:13Bull Buchanan.

00:56:15Here's a guy that'll wipe the smile off anybody's face.

00:56:17Yeah, the fun and games man here pretty quickly.

00:56:19Bull Buchanan against Shonan the Barbarian.

00:56:23And Bull Buchanan should absolutely no intimidation and fear.

00:56:27That's why, King.

00:56:28He's got a weapon.

00:56:28And he's going to work on the show.

00:56:31Look at that.

00:56:31He's got a sword of his own.

00:56:32Oh, man.

00:56:34Bull Buchanan rushing into the ring.

00:56:37And that was why, an equalizer.

00:56:40He's not rushing.

00:56:41He's from Georgia.

00:56:43Okay, what isn't funny about this situation is this match hasn't even officially started.

00:56:47The referee hasn't even called for the bell.

00:56:50And Bull Buchanan.

00:56:52Oh, man.

00:56:53Well, that's it.

00:56:54There you go.

00:56:55Yeah.

00:56:55I think Show has had enough.

00:56:57On Kings line.

00:56:59Shonan.

00:57:00One, two, one, three, two, one.

00:57:03Bull whipped into the corner and Show is going to work.

00:57:06Yeah.

00:57:06Forget Shonan.

00:57:07This is the Big Show right here.

00:57:09Look at the intensity.

00:57:12With one arm, he just tossed Bull Buchanan over the top rope.

00:57:16Uh-oh.

00:57:17I'd be heading back to Georgia right now if I were you.

00:57:19Okay, Bull Buchanan is 6'8", 300, and Big Show's manhandling him.

00:57:25Look at that referee.

00:57:28How useless is he?

00:57:29You don't make the Big Show mad, bottom line.

00:57:34Oh, look out.

00:57:36Bull Buchanan's about to be turned into a cast.

00:57:40Look at this.

00:57:42That might be a lesson to you kids.

00:57:45If you're out on the playground, you got a 500-pound playmate.

00:57:48Don't make him angry.

00:57:49Not another one.

00:57:51Well, Bull Buchanan really made him angry.

00:57:54With one hand, the Big Show has lifted Bull Buchanan off the ground.

00:57:59And what a chokeslam.

00:58:04Man.

00:58:06That is the Big Show.

00:58:09Well, we've said it before and we're going to say it again.

00:58:12Let the big guy have fun.

00:58:14You don't want to make it mad.

00:58:19That's the Big Show needs a little therapy.

00:58:23The Big Show lost it.

01:09:41earl hebner

01:09:42and his tag team partner

01:09:44from miami florida

01:09:46playing in at 275 pounds

01:09:49he is the world wrestling federation team

01:09:55king the rock has had his back against the wall before

01:09:59but never

01:10:00and i mean never

01:10:02has the rock ever

01:10:03had to face odds

01:10:04like he does

01:10:05here tonight

01:10:06on smackdown

01:10:07i hate to agree with you

01:10:09but you're exactly right

01:10:10the rock doesn't have his back against the wall

01:10:12and i think he's got his back against

01:10:13earl hebner

01:10:14and look at earl

01:10:15he looks like a little scared puppy

01:10:16he's got ring attire

01:10:18earl hebner is not a wrestler

01:10:20he's a referee

01:10:21the senior official of the world wrestling federation

01:10:23forced a team

01:10:25with the rock

01:10:26in this matchup

01:10:27the only person that's going to really know how scared earl hebner is

01:10:30is whoever does his laundry

01:10:32okay i'll tell you what we need to talk about the rules of this matchup briefly

01:10:35the world wrestling federation title is on the line

01:10:40right if the rock or earl hebner is pinned or submits the title will change hands

01:10:46who gets the title

01:10:47whichever member dx or triple h pins either the rock or earl hebner

01:10:53what an opportunity that is for x-pop for the road though

01:10:56they can become the wwf champion tonight

01:10:59or triple h can regain the title

01:11:01and listen to this sellout crowd in richmond

01:11:05well the picture's worth a thousand words

01:11:07i just love to see a smile on the face of bince mcmahon

01:11:09he's happy tonight

01:11:12the generation x x-pop and road dog king

01:11:15arguably the best tag team in the world wrestling federation today

01:11:19triple h

01:11:21arm in his sling or not

01:11:22triple h is indeed the game

01:11:24so you're telling me you don't

01:11:26you don't think you have that

01:11:27that newly formed tag team

01:11:29the rock and earl hebner

01:11:31earl hebner's 5'6", 140 pounds

01:11:35maybe

01:11:35if he's got a brick in his pocket

01:11:38i mean for all intents and purposes this matchup is three on one

01:11:41hell it's a ten on one

01:11:43when you count the regime who's surrounding this ring

01:11:46like vultures waiting to attack

01:11:48is there ten i don't think

01:11:49i think there's only nine

01:11:52and look at the rock

01:11:53hand it away on the road dog

01:11:55here we go

01:11:55for all intents and purposes king

01:11:58the rock is gonna have to do it alone

01:12:01and an elbow from road dog to the rock

01:12:03and the rock

01:12:04hold on for an early victory in this one

01:12:06that earl tells him to road dog

01:12:09look king the rock is damned if he does

01:12:11damned if he doesn't

01:12:12if he tags earl in

01:12:13you gotta bet

01:12:14earl hebner's gonna be pink in about two seconds

01:12:16what the hell does the rock do

01:12:18maybe not

01:12:19maybe earl can show

01:12:20some flashes of brilliance

01:12:22maybe he's tougher than we think

01:12:24lebrama bull working on the road dog

01:12:27and there's a thump of the eyes

01:12:29from the road dog

01:12:30who hammers away on the rock

01:12:31and this is gonna be the best strategy

01:12:33for dx and triple h

01:12:34quick tags

01:12:35isolate the rock in his corner

01:12:37come on earl what are you doing

01:12:39what am i talking about

01:12:40isolating him in his corner

01:12:41earl hebner's gonna be a factor

01:12:42if the rock can get over there

01:12:44oh look he's about had enough

01:12:46he's gonna pull up

01:12:47and just come on in here
