00:00:00I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:00:47I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:01:08I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:01:52I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:02:21I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:02:24And I just, I just got a glimpse of Vince McMahon, I don't think he's in too good a mood

00:02:29either since his wife, Linda McMahon, has once again insinuated herself and named HBK, the Heartbreak Kid, as a special

00:02:38referee in that Iron Man match.

00:02:40It was on Raw Monday night that Shawn Michaels resigned as Commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation, but he announced

00:02:46that he will be a spokesperson representing the CEO's office, Linda McMahon's office in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:02:54I don't get it.

00:02:55I gotta figure this out, Michael.

00:02:58Where does Shawn Michaels really stand in this match?

00:03:01We don't know, King, that's a great question, which we'll delve into over the next couple of hours here on

00:03:06SmackDown, but the bottom line is this Sunday night, Triple H and The Rock, and perhaps the most important title

00:03:13match in WWF history.

00:03:15JR called it 60 Minutes of Hell.

00:03:19Look at Stephanie, Triple H's wife.

00:03:24Chris Jericho.

00:03:33You're gonna be sorry that you ever even spoke my name.

00:03:41Let alone disparaged it.

00:03:44Y2J said a lot.

00:03:46Because you see, tonight, Jericho, in this very ring, the Intercontinental Champion, Chris Benoit, the man who will make you

00:04:01scream into submission this Sunday, a Judgment Day.

00:04:09Yeah.

00:04:09We'll team up with the very unforgiving Hardcore Holly to face you and a partner of your choice.

00:04:23Whoa.

00:04:24Wow.

00:04:25Who's gonna wanna be Y2J's partner?

00:04:28Did you see how Vince, he is so impressed with his lovely daughter.

00:04:33You know what they say, like father, like daughter.

00:04:38Quite frankly, I'm not in the greatest of moves.

00:04:41Uh-oh.

00:04:42And Big Show almost put Shane through a Titans run on Raw.

00:04:44And I'm definitely not in 100% physically.

00:04:48He's young Simba.

00:04:49However, I'm going to honor the challenge that I made last Monday night to the Big Show so that this

00:04:58Sunday at Judgment Day in the No Disqualification matchup, it will be Shane O'Mac versus the Big Show one-on

00:05:07-one.

00:05:07Oh, my God.

00:05:07I still think Shane's crazy.

00:05:10What in the world is he thinking about?

00:05:11He's a cat that's running on only about seven lives right now.

00:05:15Yeah, he used two of them on Raw Monday night.

00:05:18Yeah, but he still should be congratulated.

00:05:19Listen to this.

00:05:23Shane is not a...

00:05:24Will you stop?

00:05:25Well, he's not a...

00:05:26You know what they're saying.

00:05:28Yeah, I know what they're saying.

00:05:30Again, I thank you for the compliment.

00:05:33Oh.

00:05:33It's a compliment.

00:05:34He is cat-like, you know.

00:05:36Hey!

00:05:37What the...

00:05:38You see, even though I'm hurt, I'm not trying to back out of the match this Sunday with the Big

00:05:42Show.

00:05:43No.

00:05:45As a matter of fact, I'm starting...

00:05:46I'm starting to psych up for this No Disqualification matchup.

00:05:50I'm starting to get pumped up for this No Disqualification matchup with the Big Show this Sunday at Judgment Day.

00:05:56No.

00:05:56And why?

00:05:57Oh, look at him go.

00:05:58Why you ask?

00:05:59Yeah.

00:06:00Well, let's go back to last Monday night and let me show all of you what the show did to

00:06:06me.

00:06:06Roll the footage.

00:06:07Oh.

00:06:08It was scary Power King on Raw this past week.

00:06:13The Big Show pulling Shane out.

00:06:14And look at the power!

00:06:16Like a ragdoll!

00:06:17Shane belts it off the Titantron!

00:06:19Falling about eight or nine feet right to that middle floor!

00:06:22Can you imagine what the show's gonna do in a No Disqualification matchup at Judgment Day?

00:06:26On Pay-Per-View Sunday?

00:06:28I gotta hand it to you, show.

00:06:30Superhuman strength.

00:06:33However, any normal mortal will not be standing in this ring in front of all of you.

00:06:38So like I said last Monday night, Big Show, I'm like a lion.

00:06:44Yeah.

00:06:44And this ferocious lion this Sunday is gonna rip your heart out!

00:06:48Young Simba!

00:06:50He is a legitimate tough guy!

00:06:52He better eat his Wheaties.

00:06:53What?

00:06:56Matter of fact, Joe, talking about this is starting to make me feel a little bit better.

00:07:00It's starting to make me feel a little frisky.

00:07:03So in addition to this Sunday's match at Judgment Day between you and I, how about we get it on

00:07:10tonight in this very ring?

00:07:12Me and you!

00:07:13Is he nuts?

00:07:14Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:07:15Vince is in shock now.

00:07:16Hold on, Shane.

00:07:18Don't do anything rash.

00:07:21I don't know if that's a good idea.

00:07:23Shane McMahon challenging the big show here tonight on SmackDown?

00:07:26Vince can't believe it, but everybody else is congratulating Shane.

00:07:29Shane doesn't want to wait until Judgment Day.

00:07:31Well, if that made you happy, this should make you even happier.

00:07:35Roll the footage of how we went off the air Monday.

00:07:39Well, King, this, I think, this is what we were talking about.

00:07:43It was Rock and Triple H herming away at each other and check out The Rock.

00:07:47Yeah!

00:07:47Rock bottom and Triple H through a table.

00:07:50And Triple H has been furious over the past three days about this attack at the hands of The Rock.

00:07:57Rock!

00:07:58Rock!

00:07:59Rock!

00:08:00Rock!

00:08:01You know, before that happened, Rock had already surrendered to Benoit in that match.

00:08:05Come on, King.

00:08:07I can't surrender to Benoit.

00:08:09He did.

00:08:09This man called for the bell.

00:08:10Rock never tapped out.

00:08:12I thought that would make you happy.

00:08:13It's, it's sickening to me how you revel in my pain.

00:08:18How you revel in my anguish.

00:08:21These idiots.

00:08:22Well, tonight, I will revel in yours.

00:08:25Because no matter how much you chant tonight, when we go off the air, SmackDown, it's gonna

00:08:31be a whole lot different from that.

00:08:33Oh, boy.

00:08:34Hear that?

00:08:35I don't like the sound of it.

00:08:36But today, when Judgment Day is done, I can assure you that none of you will be very happy about

00:08:45the outcome.

00:08:49Because at Judgment Day.

00:08:52Oh, boy.

00:08:55This is, these people are classless here in Detroit.

00:09:00Capacity crowd at the Joe Lewis Arena.

00:09:03Yeah.

00:09:03Their base, their baseball team sucks.

00:09:05Their hockey team sucks.

00:09:08Oh.

00:09:10Since I was so rudely interrupted, I will start again.

00:09:14Oh, boy.

00:09:15That'll get him hot.

00:09:18Drag it out.

00:09:19Sunday, Judgment Day, Iron Man match.

00:09:24One hour, 60 minutes.

00:09:27The one at the end with the most falls wins.

00:09:31That includes pinfall.

00:09:34That includes submission.

00:09:37That includes count outs.

00:09:39That includes disqualifications.

00:09:42Hey.

00:09:43That's some new news.

00:09:46If, in the event, that at the end of 60 minutes, there is a tie between The Rock and myself,

00:09:55The Rock will remain the World Wrestling Federation champion.

00:10:00Whoa.

00:10:01No overtime.

00:10:02No sudden death.

00:10:03No, you can't play for a tie in this one.

00:10:05But don't get excited because there will be no tie.

00:10:10And for all of you, there will be no happy ending at Judgment Day.

00:10:15Because in case you don't get it yet, I will explain it to you one more time now.

00:10:22And I will prove it to you one more time at Judgment Day.

00:10:27I am the game.

00:10:30And at Judgment Day, I will once again be the rightful owner.

00:10:39And I will be the undisputed World Wrestling Federation champion.

00:10:47Because I am that damn good.

00:10:50King, you called it perhaps the most important title match in WWF history.

00:10:55Triple H and The Rock this Sunday on pay-per-view.

00:10:59That's inspiring.

00:11:00Very inspiring.

00:11:02Listen to this statesman.

00:11:04I would ask for you to show here in Detroit just one ounce of respect, please.

00:11:11Just an ounce.

00:11:12That's not too much to ask.

00:11:14Now, there's no question.

00:11:16There's no question my wife, my charming, darling wife, Linda McMahon, has made some very popular decisions

00:11:25here in the World Wrestling Federation in the past.

00:11:28While one time, it was my charming wife who at one time reinstated Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:11:37Oh, boy.

00:11:38That's true.

00:11:39Yeah, that was a popular decision, wasn't it?

00:11:43More recently, it was my charming, benevolent wife who, despite the fact that he's retired for good, gave Mick Foley

00:11:53his dream match at WrestleMania.

00:11:55Oh, the fans love that, King.

00:11:57There's no denying it.

00:11:58And recently, my charming, gullible wife, Linda McMahon, appointed Shawn Michaels as the spokesperson of the WWE.

00:12:12We have been appointed Shawn Michaels as well, the guest referee in the World Wrestling Federation one-hour Iron Man

00:12:20match for the title this Sunday.

00:12:24And I must say, I must now question the wisdom of my wife.

00:12:30After all, it was Shawn Michaels who started this entire D-Generation X.

00:12:36He did.

00:12:37And there's no question that Shawn Michaels' conduct has been through the years, shall we say, very volatile.

00:12:47Oh, yes.

00:12:48So therefore, Mr. Michaels, I would like to say to you that we hope you indeed use good judgment this

00:12:56Sunday at Judgment Day or else.

00:13:00Or else.

00:13:01As a matter of fact, the only way I can ever see The Rock leaving this Sunday's arena as the

00:13:08World Wrestling Federation champion is if the only way is if Rock makes a deal with the devil himself.

00:13:16And quite frankly, I have it on good authority, the devil's unavailable and real busy.

00:13:25So, therefore, that would lead us to tonight.

00:13:31And I must say, WWF history will be made here in Detroit in this ring here tonight.

00:13:38Oh, boy.

00:13:39Here we go.

00:13:40WWF history?

00:13:42This is like, this is like the Gettysburg Express.

00:13:44Because tonight in this ring, we're going to have ourselves a lumberjack match.

00:13:48Oh!

00:13:51Oh, wait a minute.

00:13:53This will be a lumberjack handicap match.

00:13:58It gets better.

00:14:00Oh, wait a minute.

00:14:02This will be a lumberjack handicap table match.

00:14:07Oh, history has been made!

00:14:10Yes, here tonight, in this very ring, surrounded by lumberjacks, and the handicap match-up, the table match-up, we'll

00:14:20see those damn Dudley boys on one side.

00:14:22Oh, those damn Dudleys!

00:14:24Oh!

00:14:25And The Rock on the other.

00:14:27Oh, no!

00:14:29That's not fair, King!

00:14:31It's history-making!

00:14:32Tonight, the McMahon-Helmsley regime is trying to break down its opponents before Judgment Day came.

00:14:38The Rock meets the Dudleys in a lumberjack-handicapped table match.

00:14:43What's Shane McMahon thinking going one-on-one with the Big Show?

00:14:46Oh, what a night this is gonna be, Michael!

00:14:48This may be the biggest SmackDown in history!

00:14:50It's gonna be great!

00:14:51Ah!

00:14:57Yeah!

00:15:00What?

00:15:03What?

00:15:04Business!

00:15:05Man, come in.

00:15:05It's business!

00:15:06Hey!

00:15:06Close the door, you little idiot!

00:15:08You raised in a barn!

00:15:10Believe me.

00:15:13He's a little nervous, Michael.

00:15:15This is business!

00:15:16It's not about my hardcore title!

00:15:17I know it's on the line 24-7, but please!

00:15:19I-I-I can't sleep!

00:15:20I can't eat!

00:15:21I'm getting attacked by women!

00:15:22It's-it's-

00:15:23What do you want?

00:15:24I just wanna get a nap!

00:15:26I just want an hour's rest!

00:15:27Oh!

00:15:28The poor little thing needs a nap time!

00:15:30Alright!

00:15:30He needs some Medi-Bike!

00:15:33I just need an hour's protection!

00:15:34How much for an hour's protection?

00:15:36That'll do right there!

00:15:37Ah!

00:15:39Yeah!

00:15:39Now get your little ass over there and lay down in the corner, huh?

00:15:42What's this too much, huh?

00:15:43Are you gonna sing him a lullaby?

00:15:45Yeah, what?

00:15:46What?

00:15:47What?

00:15:49What?

00:15:50Is this too easy to work?

00:15:51Boy, little idiot!

00:15:52See that, Michael!

00:15:54Crash, he's buying some possession for the acolyte, so he can catch a catnap!

00:15:58It just wants a-an hour and a half.

00:16:01The poor guy, he's been-he has to look over his shoulder every minute of the day, 24-7!

00:16:06Everybody's after him?

00:16:07Can't blame him for being exhausted!

00:16:08Well, Scottie Duhati's set for one-on-one action.

00:16:12He's going to go for one fall.

00:16:14Sticking his way to the right wing and then 241 pounds is one half of two goals.

00:16:22Scottie Duhati!

00:16:25Scottie Duhati set to take on Olympic hero Kurt Angle.

00:16:28It was to be a tremendous matchup here on SmackDown.

00:16:31They'll meet the six-man tag team matchup this Sunday on pay-per-view at Judgment Day.

00:16:37That's right.

00:16:38Tonight's SmackDown is brought to you by MetaCuts.

00:16:41Go to GNC, look for the AAA display, and enter to win a trip for two to SummerSlam.

00:16:47Or you can enter at WWF.com before June 1st.

00:16:51And by Snowball.com, we are on.

00:16:54And by R.C. Edge.

00:16:56Get your R.C. Edge's WWF Superstar poster.

00:16:59Details on specially marked packages.

00:17:01R.C. Edge Maximum Power Roll-Off.

00:17:04Okay, it'll be too cool in Rikishi against Kurt Angle.

00:17:07R.C. Edge and Christian, six-man tag team action Sunday at Judgment Day.

00:17:11He's calling for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 237 pounds, Olympic gold medalist, Kurt Angle.

00:17:19I'll tell you, Judgment Day, it's going to be great this Sunday, but what about tonight?

00:17:22I mean, we deserve some great matches signed for you tonight.

00:17:25Yeah, the McMahon-Helmsley regime.

00:17:27You know, when I was in the Olympics, which I won, for all of you, by the way.

00:17:33We know.

00:17:34I thought I had seen every single wrestling hold, every single wrestling move that you could possibly see.

00:17:41But you know something?

00:17:44I was wrong.

00:17:46I discovered a wrestling move, well, not so much a wrestling move here in the WWF, that would make the

00:17:53state face almost as technical as the German suplex.

00:17:58What?

00:17:58What could that be?

00:17:59It is the single most insulting move to all the wrestlers across the country.

00:18:05What's he talking about?

00:18:06And that move is the worm.

00:18:10That's Scottie's move, King.

00:18:11The worm.

00:18:12People.

00:18:13People.

00:18:14The worm is not a sanctioned wrestling move.

00:18:19Well, that's not.

00:18:20It's true.

00:18:21It's true.

00:18:23He's right.

00:18:23If your Olympic hero were to use the worm in the 1996 Olympic Games, it would be so embarrassing to

00:18:33all the other athletes and our country, mind you, that the USA would have finished behind Guam, perhaps dead last.

00:18:45And all of you would not have an Olympic hero to look up to.

00:18:50And that would be a shame.

00:18:53And you would be forced, you would be forced to cheer for the Detroit Tigers.

00:18:59It's true.

00:19:01It's true.

00:19:02Hey, King, maybe the Olympics could use a little entertainment value.

00:19:05Are you kidding?

00:19:06If Kurt Angle had tried to use the worm at the Olympics, that would have caused an international incident.

00:19:11So Kurt Angle and Scottie too hot, he's set to go 101 here on SmackDown.

00:19:15Should be a good matchup on the eve of Judgment Day, where there'll be a six man involving these two

00:19:20men.

00:19:21And Kurt Angle goes behind Scottie too hot.

00:19:23He should be a great matchup between two tremendous actors.

00:19:27Who would be stupid enough to go against the Regime and agree to be Y2J's partner?

00:19:31I don't know.

00:19:31We're going to have to find out.

00:19:32Maybe Y2J is going to be able to select anybody.

00:19:35Deep frog by Kurt Angle.

00:19:36Scottie too hot.

00:19:37He kicked to the midsection.

00:19:38Nice snap reflex by Scottie too hot.

00:19:41Oh, King, Triple H, you've got to give it to the game.

00:19:45What is this?

00:19:46Sound of dance.

00:19:46Scottie's having some sort of a seizure.

00:19:49Oh, no one.

00:19:50King, you've got to hand it to the game.

00:19:52These new rules for the Iron Man match on Judgment Day.

00:19:55This Sunday we learned between Triple H and The Rock that falls, King, can be won by submission, pinfall, disqualification,

00:20:01or even count out.

00:20:03Bang!

00:20:04And look out, Kurt Angle in trouble there.

00:20:07Oh, man.

00:20:08Oh, my God.

00:20:09That was an Olympic-sized move there.

00:20:12That could hurt your worm.

00:20:13And Scottie too hot.

00:20:14He's going to fly from the top rope.

00:20:16Kurt Angle in trouble.

00:20:17Oh, and drop kick from the top rope.

00:20:19Cover.

00:20:19Hooked to the leg by Scottie.

00:20:20There's two.

00:20:21And Angle kicks out.

00:20:22But what about Triple H saying, King, that if there's a tie at the end of 60 minutes, that The

00:20:28Rock will remain WWF champion?

00:20:31Oh, well, that's the way it should be.

00:20:32I mean, that's just fair.

00:20:35Triple H is more than fair.

00:20:37But believe me, Triple H ain't going to play for no time.

00:20:39Hook to the leg, and Scottie kicks out after the count of two.

00:20:42You know what I can't figure out, though?

00:20:43I really can't put my finger on it.

00:20:45Just about anything?

00:20:47This whole Shawn Michaels situation as the special guest referee.

00:20:50I mean, where does Shawn Michaels stand in all this?

00:20:54Well, I don't know.

00:20:55I'll tell you what.

00:20:56Just this past Monday night on Raw, he was, I guess you'd say, maybe insulted or threatened by three people.

00:21:01The Rock, Triple H, Vince McMahon, and actually threatened to get here tonight already.

00:21:09I'll just say that, oh, Shawn Michaels, and I know Shawn Michaels.

00:21:12He's got a huge ego.

00:21:14I don't think his ego is going to allow him to be threatened by anyone.

00:21:18He's been threatened by everyone.

00:21:19He's been threatened by everybody involved.

00:21:20Mr. McMahon, The Rock, Triple H.

00:21:22He'll do something about it.

00:21:23I just can't figure out what yet.

00:21:25Big back body dropped by Scottie too high.

00:21:27When the Olympic champion Kurt Angle's in trouble.

00:21:31I saw that look on Scottie's face.

00:21:33I thought we were.

00:21:37Face face bulldog.

00:21:39And he's on the next.

00:21:40Yeah, don't do it.

00:21:41This is anti-patriotic.

00:21:45He's a great American Olympic hero.

00:21:51This is patriotic blasphemy.

00:21:54It's the world.

00:21:56Under the Olympic hero.

00:21:57Kurt Angle, meet the world.

00:22:00And Scottie Too Hotty is cooking in this one.

00:22:04We got Kurt.

00:22:05Slides underneath the bottom rope.

00:22:07Kurt Angle tossed back into the ring.

00:22:08Scottie Too Hotty working well against Kurt Angle.

00:22:13My gosh, now what?

00:22:15Uh-oh, Scottie Too Hotty up there in no man's land on Kurt Angle's shoulder.

00:22:18Look at that.

00:22:19Kurt Angle with the cover.

00:22:20It's over.

00:22:21Great counter by Kurt Angle.

00:22:23You know what's happening?

00:22:26Scottie Too Hotty.

00:22:27He tried to, well it actually was a wrestling move.

00:22:30He tried to victory roll and he got outwrestled.

00:22:33Great counter by Kurt Angle.

00:22:35He's not even went over Scottie Too Hotty.

00:22:38Scottie's in shock still.

00:22:40You lost, Scottie.

00:22:47What the hell did you eat?

00:22:49Smells like a Texas rose in there, don't it?

00:22:51No.

00:22:52Well damn, I hope you want your hand.

00:22:53That could be your hand that you're smelling.

00:22:56Three kings.

00:22:56Oh, no, bro.

00:22:58That's a missed deal.

00:22:59That ain't no...

00:23:00Is he snoring?

00:23:02No, that's painful.

00:23:04I'm a dealer mode.

00:23:06Let's do it right this time.

00:23:07Missed deal.

00:23:11Hey!

00:23:11Look at China!

00:23:13Oh, we weren't expecting China.

00:23:15Oh, King!

00:23:16Oh, King!

00:23:23We heard earlier tonight that a match has been made between Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko.

00:23:28Hope we're here tonight that this match has something to do with Judgment Day.

00:23:32You know, Saturn and Malenka are set to take on Eddie Guerrero in that triple threat match for the European

00:23:36title Sunday on Pay-Per-View.

00:23:38Is that right, would I?

00:23:40What's that matter going on tonight?

00:23:42I'm just mad to see China.

00:23:43It's always good to see Mamacita.

00:23:47Tonight's one of the world, China Mamacita King, who many people say is directly responsible to the success of Latino

00:23:53Heat, Eddie Guerrero.

00:23:55And also responsible for the split up of the radicals.

00:23:58And give me a little credit.

00:23:59You know, I helped him grant more DDD tests.

00:24:02What do you mean?

00:24:03What do I help him with it?

00:24:04You know.

00:24:06I heard he barely passed.

00:24:07It's a graduate.

00:24:09Barely passed?

00:24:11Ladies and gentlemen, I must announce that there will no longer be a triple threat match this Sunday.

00:24:17What?

00:24:18Huh?

00:24:20This is because the winner of the following contest will then face Eddie Guerrero one-on-one

00:24:26for the European title this Sunday at Judgment Day.

00:24:30So without further ado, your first competitor.

00:24:35He has the uncanny ability to hunt birds and squirrels at the same time.

00:24:42What?

00:24:43He is Perry Saturn.

00:24:46And what is going on here?

00:24:48From a triple threat match to a winner of this match facing Guerrero at Judgment Day?

00:24:54I don't think Perry knew it.

00:24:55They're trying to make reference to Perry's eyes, maybe?

00:24:59You know, a lot of people have been saying, King, that John has been trying to drive a wedge between

00:25:04the radicals.

00:25:05Perhaps this is another attempt at that by the ninth wonder of the world.

00:25:10I don't know.

00:25:11I'm sorry.

00:25:11I don't even know what you said.

00:25:12Because I'm trying to look at Perry's face.

00:25:14I know he's got a wandering eye, but he just...

00:25:18Look at him.

00:25:20He looks sort of psychotic.

00:25:21And your second competitor, he is your light, light, light, light heavyweight champion, Mr. Personality, Mr. Charisma.

00:25:32Ladies and gentlemen, stay awake for Dean Malenko.

00:25:37Stay awake for Dean Malenko.

00:25:40I'm a saint just talking to one-liner here.

00:25:43I love you.

00:25:43King, what I said is it sounds like China is trying to drive a wedge again between the radicals.

00:25:47Well, let's face it, I don't think China is a real big fan of either Malenko or Perry Satter.

00:25:53I was talking to Mamacita earlier.

00:25:56She was making reference to the fact that every time Perry Satter goes to a movie,

00:26:01sees a double feature.

00:26:02I'm talking about his eyes again.

00:26:04Jack, press, out of here.

00:26:06Uh-oh, what's this?

00:26:06I almost forgot.

00:26:07Your special guest referee for this match, he is your European champion.

00:26:14What?

00:26:15He's my love machine, he's got more Latino heat than any WWE superstar.

00:26:24Eddie Guerrero!

00:26:26So Eddie Guerrero is the special guest referee for this match.

00:26:30Ooh, he's looking good.

00:26:33Oh, Latino heat!

00:26:34What is this all about, King?

00:26:36What's really going on here?

00:26:37So Guerrero can basically handpick the opponent he wants at Judgment Day,

00:26:42competitive on who he decides to favor in this matchup.

00:26:45That's if he doesn't call him down the middle of the course.

00:26:47Oh, I mean, it's really pretty simple.

00:26:49Anybody can see this except Eddie Perry Satter.

00:26:53Whoever wins this match gets to face Eddie Guerrero at Judgment Day.

00:26:58Oh-ho.

00:26:59I do not like what's going on.

00:27:02What do you mean?

00:27:03I didn't like the look on China's face either.

00:27:05What about the look on that guy's face?

00:27:06Uh, Perry Sattern and Dean Malenko 101 winner to meet that man Eddie Guerrero

00:27:10at Judgment Day, who's the special guest referee.

00:27:12And speaking of special guest referees, King,

00:27:15Shawn Michaels will don the stripes at Judgment Day

00:27:18for the match between The Rock and Triple H, the Iron Man match.

00:27:21And, King, did you hear all the rumors on WWF.com?

00:27:24No, I'm not a net nerd.

00:27:25Well, the fact that HBK Shawn Michaels is extremely jealous

00:27:30with the fame in the, uh, or so they say, the fame of Triple H.

00:27:35Well, I mean, come on, let's face it, who wouldn't be jealous of Triple H?

00:27:39He is the game.

00:27:40I mean, you know, you talk about, you talk about wrestling, the WWF,

00:27:44he's got it all.

00:27:44He is the best.

00:27:46Look at this now, Dean Malenko, nice takedown of Perry Sattern.

00:27:49There's also rumors on WWF.com that HBK Shawn Michaels extremely upset

00:27:55with the way that The Rock has reached new heights in both the entertainment world

00:27:59and here in the wrestling ring, and what a kickout.

00:28:01Dean Malenko with a cover on Perry Sattern.

00:28:03Another reversal by Sattern, competitive matchup by these two radicals.

00:28:08Well, you love the internet.

00:28:09You speak geek, don't you?

00:28:11I mean, what, do you sit and read the internet all day long?

00:28:16Well, King, I mean, what do you think about those rumors, though?

00:28:18I mean, it's pretty plausible.

00:28:20HBK could be jealous of Triple H, despite their relationship.

00:28:23Okay, I'll admit, I'll admit, it's very plausible.

00:28:25Let's face it, I mean, Triple H took DX to heights that nobody ever thought they were going.

00:28:31Certainly not something that Shawn Michaels couldn't have done.

00:28:34And Malenko counters.

00:28:36And Saturn with a counter of his own and elbows to the side of the head.

00:28:41Look out, cover on Saturn.

00:28:43There's two.

00:28:44That looked like a little...

00:28:46What do you mean, look like what?

00:28:48Quick count, maybe?

00:28:48No, it wasn't.

00:28:49Okay.

00:28:50Well, Dean Malenko turns Saturn into the corner, light heavyweight champion.

00:28:54Really would love to get his hands on European gold.

00:28:57And Perry Saturn, nonetheless, would love to win his first title here in the World Wrestling Federation of Judgment Day,

00:29:02King.

00:29:02Well, break it.

00:29:03What?

00:29:04All I can tell you is that I'm wondering if Shawn Michaels, refereeing, is going to resemble Eddie Guerrero's refereeing,

00:29:11like here in this match.

00:29:12But so far, Guerrero, I think, is coming right down the middle.

00:29:14Oh, look out now.

00:29:15Well, Dean Malenko and these former friends are really taking it to each other in this matchup on SmackDown.

00:29:22Look at Malenko.

00:29:23You know he just shaved right before this match.

00:29:24He's already torn a beard.

00:29:25Look out, face first.

00:29:26Malenko under the apron.

00:29:27And Perry sat on in control outside the ring.

00:29:29You know, you mentioned Shawn Michaels and how he's going to call the matchup.

00:29:32The Rock said, King, you better call it down the middle.

00:29:36Triple H said, you better call it the right way.

00:29:38Here's the cover, hook of the leg, and a kick out.

00:29:40And when Triple H said, call it the right way, what did he mean?

00:29:44Who knows?

00:29:45What do you think I am, the answer man?

00:29:46I seem to think you are all the other times.

00:29:48There's so many questions.

00:29:49I'm trying to watch this match.

00:29:50Look at how hard these guys are trying to, look at how hard they're fighting to get the

00:29:53opportunity to wrestle Eddie Guerrero.

00:29:55Oh, man.

00:29:56Eddie Guerrero trying to get between the two of them, trying to get Malenko out of the

00:29:59corner.

00:29:59And wait a minute, Guerrero, he's a take-charge referee.

00:30:03Hey, don't anger Latino heat.

00:30:05Perry Saturn.

00:30:06What?

00:30:06Didn't like that too much.

00:30:09Uh-oh, look out.

00:30:10He's the referee.

00:30:12Dean Malenko with a light heavyweight title.

00:30:16And that should be a disqualification, King.

00:30:18That's a blatant disqualification.

00:30:21Well, that's why-

00:30:22And Malenko with a cover, and what's Eddie Guerrero doing now?

00:30:24Not counting, that's a charm.

00:30:26Guerrero with a light heavyweight title to the face of Dean Malenko.

00:30:31What is this?

00:30:32The battling radicals are both down, King.

00:30:35Aw, darn.

00:30:36This match has been declared a draw.

00:30:39A draw?

00:30:43What?

00:30:44So I guess therefore, you know, notwithstanding the physical condition of both Malenko and

00:30:50Saturn, both Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn will face Eddie Guerrero for a triple threat match

00:30:56for the European title this Sunday on Judgment Day.

00:31:00It's back on!

00:31:01Good luck, guys.

00:31:02I see you now.

00:31:03Wait a minute, King.

00:31:05King, wait a minute.

00:31:06What?

00:31:07It seems to me all Eddie Guerrero wanted to do was soften up his two opponents for Judgment Day.

00:31:13You really are Sherlock Holmes, aren't you?

00:31:15Eddie and Chyna outsmarted Saturn Malenko here tonight on SmackDown.

00:31:20It's Latino heat!

00:31:21But will they do the same Sunday on Pay-Per-View at Judgment Day?

00:31:25Mamacita!

00:31:27And now, the WWF Rewind, brought to you by WWF Aggression, original rap songs based on

00:31:33superstars themes.

00:31:34Hit stores now.

00:31:36I ought to be the special referee this Sunday at Judgment Day.

00:31:41Oh, man!

00:31:42How resilient are you now?

00:31:52The fate of the WWF title is in Shawn Michaels' hands this Sunday on Pay-Per-View, but tonight

00:31:58in Detroit, King, on SmackDown, the McMahon-Helphly regime hopes to soften up The Rock in a handicapped

00:32:04lumberjack table match against the Dudley Boys.

00:32:07A history-making match.

00:32:14Here we go.

00:32:16You got your camera with you?

00:32:18No, I don't need my camera.

00:32:20What are you talking about?

00:32:22What are you talking about?

00:32:22The Prone Cup is going to give him a more hunt call, making a friend of the ring from

00:32:26Toronto, Canada, playing tonight's honor at the E-Cown, the important half of the World

00:32:32World War II Federation Tag Team Champions, Christian!

00:32:37Hey, I heard they had to open two garage doors here at the show for Edge and Christian when

00:32:42they arrived today.

00:32:43Why is that?

00:32:43So they can just hold their heads in the arena.

00:32:46Oh, look.

00:32:4710,000 comedians out of work, you're trying to be funny.

00:32:50These guys are...

00:32:51They're fan friendly!

00:32:52They really care about the fans!

00:32:53He's a good one.

00:32:54He weighs in at 220 pounds.

00:32:57Here's your member of Two Cool, Graham!

00:33:02Mr. Sixxin!

00:33:04Now, Sunday at Judgment Day on pay-per-view, Two Cool and Rikishi will team up in a six-man

00:33:10tag team matchup, Cam.

00:33:12To take on Edge and Christian and Kurt Angle.

00:33:15Matter of fact, Rikishi's going to be an action a little bit later on tonight, going one-on-one

00:33:19with Edge.

00:33:20This is going to be a great match.

00:33:22Yeah, I like both of these guys.

00:33:23This should be a lot of fun.

00:33:26Ha-ha!

00:33:26It's not going to be a lot of fun a little bit later on tonight for The Rock.

00:33:31Now, no fun in the future.

00:33:35Uh-oh!

00:33:35Now, we got Christian from behind, going right to work on Grandmaster's Sex-A, and this

00:33:40one, King, could be over early.

00:33:42He knocked Grandmaster's Sex-A glasses right off of-

00:33:45Oh!

00:33:45Reversal, Christian blocked himself.

00:33:47Oh!

00:33:47Grandmaster face-first into those steel steps.

00:33:50That's why...

00:33:51Oh, almost a photo-op.

00:33:53Did you see that?

00:33:53Yeah, almost a photo-op.

00:33:55Concentrate on the match and stop worrying about the flash photography.

00:33:59All right.

00:33:59And look at this!

00:34:00Oh, man!

00:34:01Oh, don't get a picture of that.

00:34:03Into that steel post goes Christian.

00:34:06That doesn't hurt!

00:34:07Again, this whole Shawn Michaels special guest referee thing at Judgment Day is real wild,

00:34:13King.

00:34:14And another thing that dawned on me earlier today was this.

00:34:16Do you think maybe Shawn Michaels just tied up into this whole, wait a minute,

00:34:19covered by Grandmaster's Sex-A kick-out.

00:34:21Two!

00:34:21Maybe tied up into this whole McMahon-Helmsley faction.

00:34:24Maybe it's a regime plot to get at The Rock.

00:34:28Well, that's another question, right?

00:34:30Of course!

00:34:31All right, now, let me think.

00:34:32You know, I can remember Monday night, Rock said, uh, he felt like he smelled a rat.

00:34:37Right.

00:34:38Well, I guess that's what he's thinking, too.

00:34:40I think The Rock thinks that this could all be some sort of his master plan of the regime.

00:34:47You know, Vince McMahon is the smartest man in the world without a doubt.

00:34:51But somehow, I don't know.

00:34:53I don't think that.

00:34:54I don't think that this is...

00:34:57I think that Shawn Michaels is...

00:34:59Oh!

00:35:00I think he's more of his own man.

00:35:02And I think everybody's making mistakes by threatening him.

00:35:04So what you're telling me is you really have no clue either way.

00:35:07Hey.

00:35:08What?

00:35:09That's what you're saying, right?

00:35:10How do I call this match?

00:35:11So Christian hammering away on Grandmaster's Sex-A.

00:35:14Grandmaster whipped into the ropes by Christian and the half of the tag team.

00:35:17Champions, I slam on Grandmaster.

00:35:19Hooks the leg.

00:35:19Here's the cover.

00:35:20Two and a kick out.

00:35:22What about Triple H?

00:35:23Tell you what, you gotta give the game some credit.

00:35:26Some.

00:35:27That Iron Man match the last 60 minutes.

00:35:30Falls can be won by count outs, disqualification, submission, pin fall.

00:35:34Oh, look out!

00:35:35Grandmaster's Sex-A.

00:35:36Kick out after two by Christian.

00:35:38But what about if there's a tie at the end of those 60 minutes of Judgment Day?

00:35:42Oh, forget about that tie.

00:35:42The Rock remains the champion.

00:35:44Oh!

00:35:44But we know sudden death, no overtime.

00:35:46That was just put in there because Triple H is a fair guy.

00:35:50Now I got a question for you.

00:35:51Okay.

00:35:52You ready?

00:35:52Yeah.

00:35:54Who do you think is gonna be dumb enough to be Y2J's volunteer, I might add, to be Y2J's

00:35:59partner tonight?

00:35:59Nice takedown.

00:36:00I have no idea.

00:36:01He'd have to be an idiot.

00:36:03Y2J and a partner of his choice set to take on Chris Benoit and Hardcore Holly.

00:36:09Did you see Christian?

00:36:10He's making fun of the thriller there.

00:36:13Right hand to Grandmaster's Sex-A.

00:36:15You know, Jericho's a lot like you.

00:36:17He got no friends here in the WWF.

00:36:19One, two, three!

00:36:20Break it, come on!

00:36:21It's not right.

00:36:22What?

00:36:23I've got a few.

00:36:24Oh, okay.

00:36:24Now look at this.

00:36:25Christian setting up Grandmaster's Sex-A backbreaker across the knee.

00:36:29Christian in control.

00:36:30Could be over here too.

00:36:31And Grandmaster kicks out before the count of three.

00:36:34Rock and the Dudley boys in a lumberjack handicap table match.

00:36:39And I can only imagine King, who the McMahon-Helmsley regime plans on to place it outside the

00:36:44ring as lumberjacks.

00:36:46I'm sure, I'm sure that once again it'll be hand-picked, high-quality individual.

00:36:51I'm sure they're not going to like The Rock.

00:36:54Why's that?

00:36:56You don't think this will be a fair decision?

00:36:58No.

00:36:59Not at all.

00:37:00Also tonight, what's gotten to Shane McMahon's head?

00:37:02He's going to challenge the Big Show tonight.

00:37:04He's young Simba!

00:37:05He's a young lion!

00:37:06Oh, the young lion.

00:37:07Oh, man!

00:37:08What a maneuver by Grandmaster Sex-A.

00:37:10A young lion with a couple of screws loose, I think.

00:37:13Well, you ask what got into his head.

00:37:14I know one thing that got into Shane's head.

00:37:16Oh!

00:37:16It was that metal-WF.com sign that that idiot Big Show threw Shane's head into.

00:37:22Yeah, and I think when Shane's head bounced off the sign,

00:37:24it knocked him, uh, knocked out his sense of reality.

00:37:27Oh, look at this!

00:37:27Look at that maneuver by Grandmaster Sex-A.

00:37:30Powerbomb.

00:37:31Christian in trouble.

00:37:32Cover by Grandmaster.

00:37:33There's two, and Christian kicks out.

00:37:35You gotta admit that this fame of being Tag Team Champions has gone directly to the head

00:37:40of Edging Christian.

00:37:41What are you talking about?

00:37:42What am I talking about?

00:37:43Posing for flash photography?

00:37:45Christian knocked down with that kick to the face.

00:37:48Hey, what you doing?

00:37:48What's going on here?

00:37:50Grandmaster Sex-A with the flying goggles.

00:37:53He's like the red bear.

00:37:54No, look at this.

00:37:56Up he goes.

00:37:57He's gonna make contact.

00:37:59The goggles are on.

00:38:00The goggles are on.

00:38:01Grandmaster Sex-A coming up.

00:38:03Christian in trouble.

00:38:04Grandmaster Sex-A ground counter by Christian.

00:38:06Grand slamming.

00:38:07No, that move really never works.

00:38:09Grandmaster Sex-A.

00:38:11Christian rolls him over.

00:38:12Cover two.

00:38:13Grandmaster Sex-A, he's got the tights.

00:38:16It's over.

00:38:17It's over.

00:38:18It's over.

00:38:19He cheated.

00:38:19Grandmaster Sex-A defeats Christian.

00:38:22What?

00:38:25Well, he may have cheated, King, but it looked to me like Christian was going for the tights

00:38:28as well.

00:38:28Perhaps just a little bit of his own medicine.

00:38:31Anything worth wanting is worth cheating for.

00:38:34Grandmaster Sex-A picks up the victory over Christian.

00:38:37Let's take another look, King.

00:38:38Okay.

00:38:39Christian rolling him up there.

00:38:40He almost had him.

00:38:41As you can see, it's Christian on the tights.

00:38:44Grandmaster Sex-A with a little bit of Christian's own medicine to get the win.

00:38:47Well, as they say, what's good for the goose is good for Grandmaster.

00:38:56Yeah.

00:38:59Hi.

00:39:00Hey.

00:39:01Can we do for you?

00:39:02What can we do to you?

00:39:03Don't you know who I am?

00:39:05I'd like to find out.

00:39:07Didn't you guys see Ron on Monday night?

00:39:09I'm the former hardcore champion.

00:39:11I bet you are, darling.

00:39:13There's the current hardcore champion who's sleeping and there's my belt.

00:39:16Hey, what's your doing?

00:39:17What the hell you think you're doing?

00:39:19Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:39:20Give me that.

00:39:21Would you get your little pretty shapely ass and his non-shapely ass and get out of here?

00:39:26You know, that's no way to treat a lady.

00:39:28Don't.

00:39:29What is wrong with her?

00:39:30Hey, man.

00:39:30Can a little hang around a while?

00:39:32We got a job to do.

00:39:33Yeah.

00:39:34I was hoping to do it with her.

00:39:35I bet you were.

00:39:37I can't blame you.

00:39:38I can't blame you.

00:39:39I can't blame you.

00:39:42Hello, ladies.

00:39:45Hello.

00:39:45Well, we're back on SmackDown, King, and we were expecting tag-team action, but Valvetous

00:39:51wasn't scheduled to be a part of the matchup.

00:39:55Well, it's been a wild night already.

00:39:59Weird goings on.

00:40:00Hey, what about Crash Holly?

00:40:02Huh?

00:40:03I guess that Acolyte Protection H.C. is really paying off.

00:40:06He's getting a nice snooze.

00:40:07IAPA doing their job.

00:40:09Crash paying the Acolytes to allow him to get just one hour of sleep without having to

00:40:14defend the Hardcore Championship.

00:40:16See what Val's got on his mind.

00:40:21You know something?

00:40:23For the last two months, the Big Val Boski has been suppressed by the single most repressive

00:40:32regime in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.

00:40:37Who's keeping Val Boski down?

00:40:39The McMahon-Helmsley regime.

00:40:42What?

00:40:43How's that?

00:40:46And week after week after every damn week, as the Big Val Boski strolled through the arena

00:40:55doors, he heard the exact same excuse.

00:41:01Which was?

00:41:02Val, as of right now, we just don't have any plans for you.

00:41:11Whoa.

00:41:12Well, as of tonight, the Big Val Boski has decided he'll make his own damn plans.

00:41:22I don't know if that's too wise.

00:41:24Standing up to the regime.

00:41:25So just to refresh your memories, it was just last year when this waist was decorated in

00:41:34Intercontinental gold.

00:41:36He was the champ.

00:41:38So with that in mind, the Big Val Boski issues a challenge for next Monday night on Raw to

00:41:47whomever is the Intercontinental Champion after Judgment Day.

00:41:55Well, it'll be Chris Benoit.

00:41:56Wait a minute.

00:41:58You got it right.

00:41:59Well, it will be Chris Benoit and Y2J in a submission match for the Intercontinental title

00:42:04Sunday on pay-per-view.

00:42:06And it'll be Chris Benoit still the champion.

00:42:09He's a Canadian crippler.

00:42:13Whomever?

00:42:14Whomever?

00:42:15Let me make something clear, Val.

00:42:18There is no doubt in my mind that after Judgment Day, I will be Intercontinental Champion.

00:42:30You say you've had Intercontinental gold.

00:42:35Good for you.

00:42:37You feel like you've been passed over?

00:42:41Tough break.

00:42:44You think you deserve a title shot?

00:42:48You got it.

00:42:50Not only will I accept your challenge, I say we do it right here.

00:43:00What?

00:43:00Right now.

00:43:02Now?

00:43:02Here?

00:43:03Before I lose my patience.

00:43:06Benoit accepted a challenge, and now it's Y2J.

00:43:10What is going on?

00:43:11We're gonna get to see a title match, but a Ben Y2J tries to...

00:43:16That idiot!

00:43:16Well, Y2J is scheduled to face Benoit on Judgment Day Sunday in that submission match.

00:43:24That lead has just challenged Benoit.

00:43:26Benoit said, let's do it tonight.

00:43:28Right.

00:43:28Thanks, James, Michael.

00:43:29And how was he doing?

00:43:31Who knows?

00:43:32Even he doesn't know.

00:43:3618,438 on their feet at the gel to greet Y2J, Chris Jericho.

00:43:41What's he gonna say?

00:43:46There's only one little problem, Chris Benoit.

00:43:49Uh-oh.

00:43:50While you're on your way to retaining that Intercontinental Championship,

00:43:54you may run into a little bit of a roadblock.

00:43:57You may run into a wall.

00:44:00A wall?

00:44:04Because after you experience the walls of Jericho, you're not gonna have to worry about that championship,

00:44:13because the Crippler is going to become the Crippled.

00:44:17Uh-oh.

00:44:20And after Sunday at Y2 Judgment Day...

00:44:27Oh, boy.

00:44:28...the only way you're going to properly walk is if you're cooking Chinese food.

00:44:35Walk?

00:44:36Get it?

00:44:37So on Monday night...

00:44:39No.

00:44:39...it's gonna be the big Lebowski...

00:44:43...versus the big...

00:44:45...bad...

00:44:46...mamma...

00:44:47...jamma!

00:44:50Too many Jericho-holics here for me tonight.

00:44:53Well, now...

00:44:53Now what?

00:44:55Well, it's...

00:44:55It's Hardcore Holly's music.

00:44:57And there he is!

00:44:59What is going on now?

00:45:01Well, Holly's scheduled to be a tag partner with Chris Benoit tonight against Jericho and a partner of his choosing.

00:45:08And now Holly's got a microphone.

00:45:10Now, Chris Jericho, why don't you shut your hole for just a minute?

00:45:15Shut your hole?

00:45:16That's a good idea, Jericho.

00:45:18And Val, what gives you the right to come out here and start making challenges?

00:45:25If anybody's got the right, it should be me.

00:45:29I should be the one facing the winner on Monday night, not you.

00:45:34Hold on a second, Baldcore.

00:45:36Baldcore?

00:45:37Since Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, who just happens to be a filthy, dirty, disgusting, brutal, skanky, bottle-feeding trash bag hoe...

00:45:45Did you hear that, idiot?

00:45:47...wants me to choose a tag partner, and since you're so unhappy, Val, and most importantly of all, since you're

00:45:53here, I choose you.

00:45:55Let's dance, babe!

00:45:57So Jericho and Val Venis against Benoit and Hardcore Holly, and here we go!

00:46:02You mean this is, this is gonna be the tag match?

00:46:05Well, the bell rung and tag team match is underway, and Benoit in trouble.

00:46:10And outside the ring, Jericho and Hardcore Holly exchanging blows.

00:46:13Covered by Val Venis, kick out!

00:46:15I'll tell you who's in trouble.

00:46:16Val Venis, he certainly has not endeared himself to the receiver all night.

00:46:19I'll tell you who Val Venis has endeared himself to.

00:46:22Trish Strass!

00:46:23Past Sunday night on heat, Trish seemed to have an eye for Val Venis!

00:46:27Cover!

00:46:28There's two, and Hardcore Holly breaks up the three count.

00:46:31All the ladies have an eye for Val Venis!

00:46:33And Val in control of Chris Benoit!

00:46:35Val has something special for all the ladies!

00:46:37Oh, look at this!

00:46:38Val Venis went for a suplex and a counter by Benoit!

00:46:41And Val Venis is in trouble!

00:46:44So let's set the scorecard now, King!

00:46:46It's Benoit and Hardcore Holly against Y2J and Val Venis!

00:46:50Boy, that idiot Y2J, did he actually call Hardcore Holly ballcore?

00:46:54He did!

00:46:55You don't make Hardcore mad, let me tell you something.

00:46:57This guy is tougher than...

00:47:00He's tough!

00:47:01You gotta admit, King, Chris Benoit has been the recipient of some shoddy referee calling in recent weeks.

00:47:08Won the Intercontinental Championship thanks to a quick call by Triple H when he had the crippler crossface on Chris

00:47:15Jericho.

00:47:16Are you referring to Triple H's refereeing as shoddy?

00:47:18And then what about Mr. McMahon calling for the bell of Julian Raul when Benoit had the lock in the

00:47:23crippler crossface?

00:47:24You're not careful!

00:47:25If you keep talking like that, you show up here to do SmackDown on Thursdays, the regime will tell you...

00:47:29Boom!

00:47:30We got no class for you, Michael!

00:47:31And this is what we'll see come Sunday at Judgment Day, Jericho and Benoit in a submission match for the

00:47:37Intercontinental title!

00:47:39Bottom line, walls of Jericho versus the crippler crossface!

00:47:43Yeah, which few picks?

00:47:44There it is!

00:47:44Right inside by Jericho!

00:47:46Copy it, hook of the leg, and Hardcore Holly breaks up the three count!

00:47:50And I understand Shane McMahon is gonna patent that name Lion Salt, because Shane is the young lion, he's the

00:47:54young Simba!

00:47:56Shane McMahon goes one-on-one with the Big Show a little bit later on tonight on SmackDown!

00:47:59Chris Jericho, look out!

00:48:02Look out!

00:48:04Walls of Jericho!

00:48:05Hardcore, look at that!

00:48:06Walls of Jericho locked in!

00:48:08Hardcore!

00:48:09Knocks out Val!

00:48:11And the Walls of Jericho locked into Chris Benoit!

00:48:14Look at this!

00:48:14In the chair of the head of Y2J!

00:48:16What do you think of Ballcore now, Jericho?

00:48:19Once again Benoit's hide is saved this week by Hardcore Holly!

00:48:23Wait a minute!

00:48:26Hey!

00:48:27Whoa!

00:48:28Hardcore Holly flattened Chris Benoit!

00:48:31And a hammered away on his leg!

00:48:35Look out!

00:48:36Well, these two are in a tenuous relationship in the past, Kang!

00:48:39All about the Intercontinental title!

00:48:42Holy man!

00:48:42And Hardcore Holly may have shattered that kneecap, Kang!

00:48:45And look at this!

00:48:46Continuing the punishment on Chris Benoit!

00:48:49I told you how tough he was!

00:48:51Hardcore, I think he snapped!

00:48:53He's laid out everybody with a chair!

00:48:55He's broken Benoit's leg!

00:48:57Been a lot of tension between Hardcore Holly and Chris Benoit in recent weeks.

00:49:00Weeks came back in the locker room, all centering around the Intercontinental title.

00:49:04But tonight, Hardcore Holly may have done serious damage to the knee of Chris Benoit!

00:49:10I think it's certain!

00:49:16Hardcore Holly!

00:49:19Take a look at this again!

00:49:21Trying to make a name for himself, King, in that Intercontinental title race!

00:49:24Hardcore Holly has already got a name!

00:49:26And that's what he's famous for!

00:49:28Things like this!

00:49:29You gotta respect a man like that!

00:49:30Look at this!

00:49:32Look at Hardcore go crazy!

00:49:34On the leg of Benoit!

00:49:35They got the EMTs out there for now!

00:49:37He can't walk!

00:49:37Does this mean King that YTJ is now in the driver's seat for that submission match at Judgment Day?

00:49:45The Rock!

00:49:46Finally, once again, The Rock WWF Champion!

00:49:50Triple H!

00:49:51I will take back what is mine!

00:49:56Iron Man match!

00:49:59Iron Man match!

00:50:00What the hell!

00:50:01I ought to be the special referee at Judgment Day!

00:50:10WWF Judgment Day!

00:50:12Presented live by Army Men World War The Video Game!

00:50:15This Sunday only on Pay Per View!

00:50:19Back on SmackDown and King!

00:50:21Hardcore Holly has asserted himself more than ever before!

00:50:24Oh!

00:50:25First the chair shot to Val Venus!

00:50:27And then he went after two long time rivals!

00:50:29Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit!

00:50:31Unbelievable!

00:50:33All I can tell you is that Val Venus had concerns about being...

00:50:37Oh!

00:50:38Overlooked!

00:50:39Obviously Hardcore had him as well!

00:50:40And he made sure nobody's gonna overlook him from now on!

00:50:43Look at the statement that Hardcore Holly made!

00:50:46Not only on Benoit but...

00:50:47Oh look!

00:50:48Look out!

00:50:48No!

00:50:50No!

00:50:51No!

00:50:52No!

00:56:59is ridiculous.

00:56:59I can't tell you.

00:57:00It sounds like he ain't

00:57:01stepping at you.

00:57:02That does sound painful.

00:57:03It's horrible, man.

00:57:05I can't play cars like that.

00:57:06He already smoked one.

00:57:08And now,

00:57:25Oh, my God.

00:57:27The Big Show

00:57:27has cracked Shane's head

00:57:29without that

00:57:29WDF.com sign.

00:57:35Now, you stick with me

00:57:36because this is going

00:57:37to be really exciting.

00:57:38Come on in here.

00:57:39Come on.

00:57:40It's Joe C.

00:57:42Hey, guys.

00:57:43I got a special treat

00:57:44for you tonight.

00:57:45This little boy here

00:57:46says he knows you

00:57:47and he wanted

00:57:47to come in and see you.

00:57:49Man, get your hands

00:57:49off me.

00:57:50I'm Joe C.

00:57:52You don't know who I am?

00:57:54I brought with

00:57:55Kid Block, man.

00:57:56I sold eight million records.

00:57:58I don't even know

00:57:59what's up, Joe C.

00:58:01How you doing, man?

00:58:02Eight million hoes pulled.

00:58:03You know that.

00:58:04You know that.

00:58:05What's going on?

00:58:05You want a marriage?

00:58:06Oh, yeah.

00:58:06You can't give him a bitch.

00:58:08Hell, yeah.

00:58:08It's Joe C.

00:58:09We're all wrapped

00:58:10at the anchor bar, man.

00:58:11There was this little guy, man.

00:58:13Hey, don't worry about it.

00:58:14Hey, we can't go to anchor bar.

00:58:15No, man.

00:58:16We're going to crash.

00:58:16Hey, listen.

00:58:17As far as I'm concerned,

00:58:18his eye was up.

00:58:19There's women, there's beer.

00:58:21Let's go.

00:58:21Let's do this bar.

00:58:22Let's do this.

00:58:22Hey, Joe C,

00:58:23you ever think about

00:58:24wrapping a Merle Haggard

00:58:24to George Joe?

00:58:25I don't do no country, man.

00:58:26I don't do no country, man.

00:58:26I had to ask.

00:58:31Look at this.

00:58:32Joe C putting

00:58:33Cheryl Briscoe in his place.

00:58:34Cheryl Briscoe thought

00:58:35he was a little kid.

00:58:36He has no idea

00:58:36who Joe C is.

00:58:37He runs with Kid Rock.

00:58:39And look at this.

00:58:39Crash Holly

00:58:40sleeps through it all.

00:58:41He is the big show.

00:58:44Well, King,

00:58:45the big show

00:58:46said he wanted

00:58:47Shane McMahon

00:58:47before their

00:58:48no disqualification match

00:58:50at Judgment Day.

00:58:51Well, guess what?

00:58:52He gets Shane McMahon

00:58:54here tonight.

00:58:55And we saw at the top

00:58:56top of a segment.

00:58:57Shane McMahon's head

00:58:58bouncing off.

00:58:59I know, I know.

00:59:00Don't remind me.

00:59:01I've never seen anything.

00:59:02That's hard to think about.

00:59:04I mean, Shane put the phone

00:59:05at nine feet

00:59:06after that.

00:59:06The phone comes to

00:59:06still go for one fall.

00:59:08Thinking it's way to the ring

00:59:09going at that 500 pounds

00:59:13The Big Show!

00:59:15And perhaps

00:59:15with Shane McMahon's head

00:59:17bouncing off

00:59:17that WWF.com sign,

00:59:20it's not consensus.

00:59:21Why else would Shane

00:59:22agree to meet

00:59:23this guy here tonight

00:59:24on SmackDown?

00:59:25Give me a break.

00:59:26He's 7'2", 500 pounds.

00:59:27Oh, man!

00:59:28And he wants to

00:59:29destroy Shane!

00:59:30I know, I think

00:59:30Shane may have been

00:59:32a little hasty.

00:59:32I don't know,

00:59:34he just got full of

00:59:35himself out there

00:59:36for a minute.

00:59:38Maybe he's come to

00:59:39his senses,

00:59:39but no Shane!

00:59:40Come to his senses?

00:59:41He's walking out here,

00:59:42isn't he?

00:59:42He's opponent

00:59:43making his way

00:59:44away.

00:59:44Yes, he is!

00:59:46Shane McMahon!

00:59:48Think about this,

00:59:49Shane!

00:59:51You can't play

00:59:52The Big Show!

00:59:53The Big Show!

00:59:54The Big Show!

00:59:55The Big Show!

00:59:56I'm sorry,

00:59:56as you can see,

00:59:57but I have

00:59:59misplaced my gear

01:00:00here this evening.

01:00:01Uh-oh!

01:00:02But I assure you

01:00:04that this Sunday

01:00:05at Judgment Day,

01:00:06you will not have

01:00:07to ask that question,

01:00:09which way did I go?

01:00:10Because I will be there,

01:00:12gear and all,

01:00:13to take you out!

01:00:14You can't wrestle

01:00:15without your gear.

01:00:16But Show,

01:00:17it seems every time

01:00:18I'm down around you

01:00:19with my Cheetah-like speed,

01:00:22I seem to run circles

01:00:24around you.

01:00:25Cheetah-like.

01:00:26And quite frankly,

01:00:27Show,

01:00:29it doesn't make you

01:00:30look like The Big Show

01:00:31at all.

01:00:33It makes you out

01:00:34to look like

01:00:34The Big Slow.

01:00:36Big Slow!

01:00:37So tonight's exercise,

01:00:39Big Show,

01:00:40I would like to find out

01:00:41just how fast you are.

01:00:44Or how slow.

01:00:45Just how fast you are

01:00:46as you begin

01:00:47to run the very special

01:00:50gauntlet match.

01:00:51So allow me

01:00:52to introduce you

01:00:53to your two opponents.

01:00:55Ladies and gentlemen,

01:00:56give it up

01:00:57for T and A.

01:00:59A gauntlet match?

01:01:01So that's what

01:01:01Shane had up his sleeve.

01:01:03What do you mean

01:01:04head up his sleeve?

01:01:05He forgot his gear.

01:01:06Well, he's obviously

01:01:07King trying to wipe out

01:01:08The Big Show

01:01:09before he has to go

01:01:10into that no-DQ match

01:01:11at Judgment Day.

01:01:12You think?

01:01:13You think?

01:01:14You know what they say?

01:01:15Well, Teston Albert,

01:01:16T and A,

01:01:17in this gauntlet match

01:01:18for The Big Show.

01:01:19So the show has to run

01:01:21the gauntlet,

01:01:21but he gets T and A first.

01:01:24You think Shane

01:01:24outsmarted The Big Slow?

01:01:26You know,

01:01:27JR always says,

01:01:28the anchor doesn't fall

01:01:29far from the tree.

01:01:30What does that mean?

01:01:31Well, I think you're

01:01:32seeing an obvious example

01:01:34of it tonight.

01:01:34Shane McMahon

01:01:35following in Daddy

01:01:36Vince's footsteps.

01:01:38And look at Shane

01:01:39and Trish Stratus

01:01:40enjoying T and A.

01:01:43Looking on The Big Show.

01:01:45Look out!

01:01:45Seven to five hundred pounds!

01:01:48Flying through the air

01:01:49and taking out T and A.

01:01:50And look at the look

01:01:51on Shane's face.

01:01:52Whoa, Shane!

01:01:52Simba!

01:01:54Shane will get a close-up look

01:01:55at The Big Show

01:01:56at Judgment Day

01:01:57Sunday on Paper, UK.

01:01:58And over 370 pounds!

01:02:02One arm slammed

01:02:03into the canvas!

01:02:04And can you imagine

01:02:06what he's gonna do to Shane?

01:02:07You know, The Big Show,

01:02:07since you have so much energy,

01:02:09the fun is not quite over.

01:02:11Allow me to introduce you

01:02:12to your next two opponents.

01:02:14Give it up for The Big Bossman

01:02:15and Bull Buchanan.

01:02:17Or it's a gauntlet!

01:02:19He's gonna run the gauntlet!

01:02:20Well, the show took out T and A,

01:02:22and here come Bossman

01:02:23and Bull Buchanan

01:02:24next on The Show's list!

01:02:27The slow's list.

01:02:28You heard Shane

01:02:29calling him The Big Slow?

01:02:30Oh, The Big Show,

01:02:32eyes beaming into the ball.

01:02:34Hey, look at that!

01:02:35Tests from behind

01:02:37of The Big Show

01:02:38and Bossman and Bull Buchanan

01:02:39with a double team.

01:02:40Yeah, T and A are still here!

01:02:42And now, in effect, King,

01:02:43it's a four-on-one!

01:02:45I see what he means

01:02:46by running the gauntlet!

01:02:48This is real fair.

01:02:50Wipe out The Big Man

01:02:51so he has nothing left

01:02:52come Sunday at Judgment Day.

01:02:53Oh, how fair was what

01:02:54The Big Show did

01:02:56to Shane McMahon Monday night?

01:02:57Now, Shane asked for it.

01:02:58Oh, man, look at The Big Show!

01:03:01Cleaning out Bossman and Bull Buchanan!

01:03:03Shane, what's up?

01:03:06Yeah, I guess.

01:03:07You know what, Show?

01:03:08I'm not quite done yet.

01:03:09Allow me to introduce you

01:03:10to two special friends of mine.

01:05:57Well, Sunday at Pay-Per-View, it may be different!

01:06:00Show and Shane McMahon in a no disqualification matchup!

01:06:04And Simba could be in deep trouble!

01:06:06It may be different, but it may not!

01:06:08Hey, now you gotta be quiet as a church mouse!

01:06:10He's in here sleeping!

01:06:11Now you got it?

01:06:12One, two, three!

01:06:14Now let's go!

01:06:15Got it!

01:06:16Who's Gerald Briscoe?

01:06:17What?

01:06:18We're hunting weapons!

01:06:19Watch this!

01:06:21Okay!

01:06:23What's he doing?

01:06:27That's Crash Island!

01:06:28Shh, shh, shh, shh!

01:06:39Is he just gonna put his finger off?

01:06:45He's trying to cover him!

01:06:51Gerald Briscoe the hardcore champion!

01:06:57It's a good thing he doesn't have any music.

01:07:00You can't come crazy.

01:07:03Gerald Briscoe.

01:07:05Wait a minute.

01:07:07Where's my ball?

01:07:10Hey.

01:07:13Look at this.

01:07:14King Gerald Briscoe won the hardcore title from Crash while Crash was sleeping.

01:07:19And the chase is on.

01:07:20Yeah.

01:07:21There he goes.

01:07:23That clutch referee.

01:07:24Well, you know, the hardcore title is the only title to be defended 24 hours a day, seven days a

01:07:28week.

01:07:28And it looks like they're coming our way, King.

01:07:31Where did...

01:07:32Uh-oh.

01:07:32Maybe we got a revenge coming up.

01:07:34Well, Crash hired the Acolytes for an hour to watch over him as he slept.

01:07:38The hour was up.

01:07:39The Acolytes left.

01:07:40And Briscoe took advantage.

01:07:41Uh-oh.

01:07:42Bad news.

01:07:42Gerald is not the place to come to celebrate.

01:07:44Well, now he's celebrating the middle of the ring.

01:07:46And Crash Hawley wants him some.

01:07:48Oh, no.

01:07:49Look at Briscoe.

01:07:51King Briscoe's got to defend that title 24-7.

01:07:54Oh, maybe he doesn't want to observe those.

01:07:55But I guess he's gonna.

01:07:57And what a left hand by Briscoe and another one.

01:07:59Oh, he's a southpaw, all right.

01:08:01Oh, look out.

01:08:02Hardcore title on the line as Crash Hawley hammers away on the new champion.

01:08:06Michael, the title's always on the line.

01:08:09What are you going...

01:08:10Oh, no.

01:08:12Briscoe!

01:08:13Look out!

01:08:15Uh-oh.

01:08:16This is no way to treat a modern-day Jim Thorpe.

01:08:19Modern-day Jim Thorpe?

01:08:21Briscoe is a wonderful Native American.

01:08:23Get out of there, Jim.

01:08:24We're the hardcore champion and...

01:08:25We're gonna try to hightail it.

01:08:27Uh-oh.

01:08:29I don't think he's got his running shoes on.

01:08:31I don't think he realized what he got himself into.

01:08:33Look out!

01:08:34Oh, Briscoe!

01:08:35A steel post!

01:08:37Knocked his hair off.

01:08:39Briscoe stole the title covering Crash Hawley while Crash was asleep.

01:08:44Uh-oh.

01:08:45You think he has second thoughts now, Briscoe does?

01:08:47I don't like the looks of this.

01:08:48Oh, man!

01:08:50That stupid referee had to trip...

01:08:52What did he trip over?

01:08:53Make all that noise.

01:08:54Hey!

01:08:56Hey!

01:08:57Is that Briscoe's buddy, Pat Patterson?

01:08:59Another McMahon associate?

01:09:02You lost my belt to me!

01:09:04Look at Briscoe!

01:09:05Briscoe has a steel crash container on the back of Crash's head!

01:09:10Look at that!

01:09:12Oh, no, wait a minute.

01:09:13Hardcore matchup, no disqualification, Kane.

01:09:14Wait a minute, Michael.

01:09:15I think this is...

01:09:16I think this is...

01:09:17No, no!

01:09:18Hardcore!

01:09:19Kurt Angle talked about this earlier!

01:09:21Oh, no!

01:09:22Oh, no!

01:09:23Spare us!

01:09:25Not again!

01:09:26Don't do it again!

01:09:27It's...

01:09:27It pooped St. Patterson!

01:09:28Oh, no!

01:09:29He's straight from Skid Row!

01:09:31Oh, man!

01:09:32Oh, there they are!

01:09:33At least he washed his underwear.

01:09:35What's up with that?

01:09:36Oh, no!

01:09:37I think he's pulling him down!

01:09:38Oh!

01:09:40He went for the Stinkface and Crash Hawley!

01:09:43No!

01:09:44No!

01:09:45No!

01:09:46No!

01:09:47No!

01:09:48No!

01:09:49Oh, man!

01:09:50Oh, my gosh!

01:09:51And Crash Hawley in pursuit of the hardcore champion, Brisco!

01:09:55Well, King Pat Patterson came in to run interference for his buddy, the new hardcore champion, Jero Brisco, but got

01:10:02a little more than he bargained for.

01:10:04Unbelievable.

01:10:04I think he was wearing clean underwear, but he was gonna go all natural.

01:10:08Oh, and then the boot from Crash Hawley!

01:10:12That wasn't the worst of us!

01:10:13Look at that!

01:10:13Woo-hoo!

01:10:14I think there's some preparation aids in the future of Brad Patterson!

01:10:17Oh, Kevin Kelly standing by, hoping to get a word for the people's champ, The Rock, coming up next!

01:10:25And it's the new hardcore champion, Brisco, on the run!

01:10:30In just moments, I will get a word with The Rock, and of course, we're gonna be talking about Judgment

01:10:36Day this Sunday, live on Pay-Per-View, where The Rock goes into an Iron Man match with the prospect

01:10:40of not only possibly battling Triple H for the World Wrestling Federation Championship, but what are The Rock's thoughts about

01:10:46Shawn Michaels?

01:10:47We know that Shawn is now the new spokesperson for the World Wrestling Federation, and we also know that he

01:10:52is going to be the referee for the Iron Man match this Sunday at Judgment Day.

01:10:57Certainly, one way to describe Shawn Michaels is always controversial.

01:11:03Wait a minute!

01:11:04Hey!

01:11:05What is this?

01:11:07The WWF Commissioner, Shawn Michaels!

01:11:10What is he doing here, JR?

01:11:11Shawn Michaels has returned to Raw!

01:11:15But the question is, why, why, why?

01:11:19There are a lot of things that have gone on, that people should have been punished for, and that didn't

01:11:25happen.

01:11:27And that's my fault.

01:11:29This whole era thing that's going on in the World Wrestling Federation is my fault, because I'm the guy that

01:11:37started these wheels in motion.

01:11:40Here comes, we're gonna have a new champion!

01:11:42I think I'm smelling what The Rock's cooking here!

01:11:44Here comes, it's all out!

01:11:46What the hell?

01:11:48Shawn Michaels, the superkick!

01:11:50The Rock!

01:11:51The Rock has a title won!

01:11:53It is a category!

01:11:54The first person that should be punished is me.

01:11:57So I'm gonna take this time, right now, to resign!

01:12:02What?

01:12:02As the commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation.

01:12:07I don't believe I invited you, but since when does Shawn Michaels ever need an invitation here in the World

01:12:14Wrestling Federation?

01:12:16For what it's worth, I was invited here tonight by the CEO and president of the World Wrestling Federation, your

01:12:22wife, Linda McCann.

01:12:26Thanks to your lovely wife, I have two announcements.

01:12:29I am now the official spokesperson for the World Wrestling Federation.

01:12:35The second announcement is I ought to be the special referee this Sunday at Judgment Day!

01:12:43You are known as the most resilient WWF champion of all time, without question.

01:12:50I just wonder, how resilient are you now?

01:12:59Uh-oh, JR!

01:13:00That man's swelling up!

01:13:02Yeah!

01:13:02Is that right?

01:13:03Oh!

01:13:04Oh, Shawn just shot just in his ass!

01:13:07You're being crazy!

01:13:08Shawn Michaels could control where the WWF title goes at Judgment Day!

01:13:17Brock, the question is, with the announcement earlier tonight of the McCann-Helmsley regime that now disqualifications and countouts will

01:13:24count as falls in the Iron Man match,

01:13:26it seems as if Triple H really, well, does he have a plan?

01:13:30Oh yeah, Triple H has got the plan.

01:13:32He's got the plan of a lifetime.

01:13:34Seems like DQs and countouts now count as falls to Triple H.

01:13:37And then Shawn Michaels makes all the calls.

01:13:40Well, Triple H, The Rock says you can go lick on some monkeys.

01:13:47Brock, are you insinuating?

01:13:48Are you implying that Shawn Michaels is in league with?

01:13:52Is he in cahoots with Triple H and the McMahon-Helmsley regime?

01:13:54No, The Rock isn't implying anything, so shut your mouth, Jabroni.

01:13:57The Rock is saying that the last time The Rock was in the ring with Shawn Michaels,

01:14:01Shawn Michaels cost The Rock the WWF title.

01:14:03So Shawn Michaels, remember this, at Judgment Day, The Rock says whatever you think about doing,

01:14:07whatever you think about planning, just remember The Rock never, ever forgets.

01:14:18And on to Triple H.

01:14:20Speaking of never forgetting, Triple H, The Rock has never forgotten,

01:14:24never forgotten the history that you and The Rock have,

01:14:26never forgotten for years, you and The Rock have done it all.

01:14:29Every single match imaginable.

01:14:31The cage matches, the ladder matches, the lumberjack matches,

01:14:34the strap matches, every single match except

01:14:37the Iron Man match.

01:14:40That's why Triple H, this Sunday at Judgment Day,

01:14:43for one hour, you are gonna feel all The Rock's pain,

01:14:45all The Rock's anger, all The Rock's fury,

01:14:48every ounce of sweat, every drop of blood.

01:14:51The Rock says this, Triple H, get ready,

01:14:53because The Rock is going into Judgment Day,

01:14:55walking out, Undisputed Champion,

01:14:58walking out, WWF Champion,

01:15:00walking out, The People's Champion.

01:15:14And the Rock is cooking.

01:15:22The Rock, versus the Dudley Boys, table match next.

01:15:26The Rock, finally, once again, The Rock, WWF Champion, Triple H.

01:15:32I will take back, what is mine?

01:15:35The most intense 60 minutes of their lives.

01:15:38Iron Man match.

01:15:41What the hell?

01:15:42I ought to be the special referee at Judgment Day.

01:15:46Rock, kiss back, WWF Championship, goodbye.

01:15:49The 60-minute Iron Man match, WWF Judgment Day,

01:15:53presented live by Army Men World War, the video game.

01:15:56This Sunday, only on Pay-Per-View.

01:16:01And now, get ready for some Maximum Power,

01:16:04delivered by R.C. Edge Maximum Power Cola.

01:16:08R.C. Edge, bringing out the wood.

01:16:10Corey doing, that's what I'm going to do.

01:16:12Right!

01:16:13What the hell?

01:16:14Oh my God, Corey!

01:16:15Oh my God!

01:16:16Corey, R.C. Edge, has sent a hellacious message

01:16:20for Judgment Day!

01:16:21R.C. Edge, not just cola, Power Cola.

01:16:24A little example, Kang, of what we're going to see

01:16:32coming up in this Lumberjack-handicap table match.

01:16:35The Rock versus the Dudley Boys.

01:16:39Oh boy.

01:16:41This is going to be good.

01:16:43Finally conscious DJ Lumberjack-handicap table match.

01:17:08Yeah, but all they're supposed to do is toss the opponents back into the ring and

01:17:12Rock or the Dudley Boys get knocked outside.

01:17:14They're not supposed to be above this whole table thing now.

01:17:19Wait a minute.

01:17:21What?

01:17:23Look at all the Lumberjacks.

01:17:26Yep.

01:17:27For all buddies with the McMahon Hounsley faction.

01:17:31Matt Patterson, Shane McMahon,

01:17:34and the Chairman of the World Series, Vince McMahon.

01:17:37Yeah, this is real fair, King, real fair.

01:17:40More tables.

01:17:42More tables.

01:17:43Wow.

01:17:45Gerald Frisco, the new hardcore champion.

01:17:48One of the Lumberjacks along with Pat Patterson

01:17:50who probably isn't feeling too well right now.

01:17:53But this is not fair.

01:17:55Give me a break.

01:17:57I'll just tell you that Army Men, World War,

01:18:00the video game by 3DO presents WWF Judgment Day.

01:18:04Judgment Day will be live in just three days this Sunday

01:18:06for the sold out Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky.

01:18:10It's on pay-per-view this Sunday night.

01:18:13Wow.

01:18:15And Mr. McMahon, the mastermind behind this matchup.

01:18:19And make no mistake about it, it was set up for two reasons.

01:18:22To soften up the Rock King and pay back for the Rock Dragon Triple H.

01:18:27And with table on Raw.

01:18:30And it makes you feel a good difference.

01:18:33First weight never in the ring.

01:18:35And a combined weight of 565 pounds.

01:18:40Bubba Ray and D-Von, the Dudley Boys.

01:18:44It's those damn Dudleys and they've got a table.

01:18:46How many tables we got out here?

01:18:48We got a ton of them.

01:18:49Sunday on pay-per-view.

01:18:50The Dudley Boys take on DX, Rope Dog, and X-Pac

01:18:53in a tag team table match.

01:18:55But think about the humiliation, the embarrassment over the past couple of days

01:18:59felt by Bubba Ray Dudley after he was driven through a table on Raw

01:19:03by of all people, Tori.

01:19:06Yeah, she may do it again this Sunday on Judgment Day.

01:19:10But you know what?

01:19:11Even those damn Dudleys know what's up here.

01:19:13They know what they gotta do.

01:19:16If you smash!

01:19:18The Rock is coming.

01:19:22And we're going to call it, from Miami, Florida,

01:19:26weighing in at 275 pounds,

01:19:30is the World Wrestling Federation Champion of the World.

01:19:3618,438 on their feet in the Joe

01:19:40for the WWF Champion of the Rock,

01:19:43who Sunday at Judgment Day defends the title

01:19:46against Triple H in a 60-minute,

01:19:50one-hour-long Iron Man match

01:19:52with Shawn Michaels, the Wild Card,

01:19:55as the special guest referee.

01:19:57Oh, it's going to be unbelievable, but...

01:19:58I'm just wondering, as I look at this...

01:20:01at this match, this historic match,

01:20:03is fixing to take place.

01:20:05Look at the tables!

01:20:06Look at the Dudleys!

01:20:07Look at the Lumberjacks!

01:20:09What do you think's going to be left on the Rock Sunday?

01:20:11Well, the rules are simple for this match-up, King.

01:20:14The Rock must drive both Dudley boys through tables to win.

01:20:18The Dudley boys must drive the Rock through a table

01:20:21to win this match-up.

01:20:22And make no mistake about it,

01:20:24not just for the Rock, King, but for the Dudley boys.

01:20:27With these Lumberjacks surrounding the ring,

01:20:29this is nothing else but a professional execution.

01:20:32Aw, come on.

01:20:34You know what our fearless leader said?

01:20:36What?

01:20:36Vince McMahon.

01:20:38Life's not fair!

01:20:39Yeah, life isn't fair.

01:20:40Just face it!

01:20:41Obviously not fair for the Rock and the Dudleys,

01:20:44here tonight on SmackDown.

01:20:46Well, I think it's more than fair for the Dudleys.

01:20:48Two against one.

01:20:48Hey, look at this.

01:20:50Come on!

01:20:50Look at Rock, he would love to go out there and go after Vince McMahon,

01:20:52but those Lumberjacks won't allow him to leave the ring.

01:20:55And to make matters worse, King,

01:20:57those who don't like the Dudleys or the Rock

01:20:59are surrounding the ring as Lumberjacks.

01:21:02And the Rock and Bubba Ray Dudley.

01:21:04They've aligned in the past, but folks, this is about survival.

01:21:07Oh!

01:21:08No friends in this ring.

01:21:11Rock and Bubba Ray Dudley.

01:21:13Remember, Rock has to put both Dudley boys through the table,

01:21:16and there you go.

01:21:17Hey, the Lumberjacks as Bubba Ray is tossed outside.

01:21:20Now Lumberjacks King are supposed to toss him back in the ring,

01:21:23not beat the hell out of him.

01:21:24Well, they're trying, but it looks like Bubba's resisting.

01:21:27Plus, he weighs a lot.

01:21:28What are you watching?

01:21:30Huh?

01:21:31Resisting.

01:21:32Got him back in.

01:21:33And the Rock with a right-handed, Bubba Ray Dudley.

01:21:36Vince said, not only life is not fair,

01:21:39but some people have inferior DNA.

01:21:42I guarantee you that Dudley's definitely got inferior DNA.

01:21:45Bubba Ray Dudley rocks on one slam on the People's Champion of the Rock.

01:21:49They got in the gene pool when the lifeguard wasn't looking.

01:21:52Tag made.

01:21:53Here comes Devon Dudley.

01:21:54Rock's in trouble.

01:21:55Devon off the top of the People's.

01:21:58Jules.

01:21:59Hey, hey.

01:22:00They're in trouble.

01:22:01Keep in mind, no disqualification in this game.

01:22:04Right.

01:22:04And obviously no count outs because nobody's gonna be able to go out of the ring

01:22:08without being thrown back in.

01:22:09And no pitfalls.

01:22:11The Rock and Triple H Sunday on pay-per-view with the WWF title on the line.

01:22:16And perhaps the most grueling match in all of sports entertainment.

01:22:20The Iron Man match.

01:22:22And NBK is a wild card as you said.

01:22:25He'll be the special.

01:22:25Don't anybody confuse Tim White who's in there now with Shawn Michaels.

01:22:30Well, once again, Devon is supposed to be tossed back into the ring by the Lumberjacks.

01:22:34And DX will meet the Dudley's Sunday on pay-per-view on the Dudley boys.

01:22:39And look at this.

01:22:40Rock with a right hand in the game.

01:22:43And X-Clock just pulled the Rock out of the ring.

01:22:45He shouldn't get out of the ring.

01:22:46And now it's a four-on-one on the faction in his cronies.

01:22:50Yeah, but the same thing is happening to the Dudley's.

01:22:53Come on now.

01:22:55Rock tossed back into the ring along with Devon Dudley.

01:22:58Bubba Ray is on Dream Street as Mr. McMahon looks on.

01:23:02Well, I don't know what you're crying about anyway.

01:23:03These guys got three days to heal.

01:23:05Yeah, three days to heal.

01:23:07Well, three days to heal.

01:23:08Either way you want to look at it for the Rock.

01:23:10The Rock and Dudley boys are surrounded.

01:23:12And here we go!

01:23:13The Rock!

01:23:15The Triple and Justin McCall.

01:23:17The Dudley boys hammer it away.

01:23:19Oh, now it's broken loose.

01:23:20Those are rubber jacks.

01:23:22I think the Rock and Dudley's getting to hell with the matchup.

01:23:25No!

01:23:26They're going after the regime.

01:23:28Yeah, Vince.

01:23:30Be careful.

01:23:31Perhaps it was the only thing the Rock and Dudley's could do, King, to fight back.

01:23:36Rock's got a weapon.

01:23:38You can't, you can't treat rubber jacks as way as against the color of the woods.

01:23:41The Rock with a boss man's knife stick to gain from behind Triple A.

01:23:44These two go at it Sunday on Pay-Per-View.

01:23:47And The Rock playing the Smackdown on Triple H.

01:23:51Let's go!

01:23:52He's the head for a champion to get to that.

01:23:56The Rock and Triple H go at it.

01:24:01It's a frueling 60-minute Iron Man match Sunday on Pay-Per-View.

01:24:06Between The Rock and Triple H.

01:24:08Oh, look out.

01:24:09This is not good.

01:24:10This isn't good at all.

01:24:11Look out.

01:24:13Look out.

01:24:14Get out of the way.

01:24:15The Rock with that electrical cord strapped around the neck of Triple H.

01:24:20Rock, he's just a lumberjack.

01:24:22Come on, Rock!

01:24:23These guys have got to last 60 minutes against one another, King, on Sunday of Judgment Day.

01:24:27And look at Triple H's buddies.

01:24:30He gets hammered away on The Rock.

01:24:31Yeah, but look at this.

01:24:33Look at, look at Devon Dudley.

01:24:36Devon crashing through Test, who goes through a table!

01:24:40Vince!

01:24:41I don't think this is what you had in mind!

01:24:43Devon Dudley off the top rope!

01:24:46What?

01:24:48And Bummer Ray!

01:24:49That didn't win anything, did it?

01:24:51With a right hand to X-Pac!

01:24:53Putting Test through a table!

01:24:54The Bummer Ray and the Dudley's, Devon and Bummer Ray will meet DX Sunday in Judgment Day in a table

01:25:00of ideal world!

01:25:02Look at that!

01:25:02Look at that table, there's the game, Triple H!

01:25:06Watch it!

01:25:07The Dudley's setting up more tables in the ring!

01:25:10Rock!

01:25:10Oh my god!

01:25:13A low blow to the game!

01:25:15That just broke Stephanie's heart!

01:25:17Oh man, look out!

01:25:19Wait a minute!

01:25:20Tori!

01:25:21Low blow, King!

01:25:22Low blow to Bummer Ray Dudley!

01:25:25And can DX take advantage?

01:25:27Look at X-Pac!

01:25:29Look at this!

01:25:29And X-Factor!

01:25:31X-Factor!

01:25:32Bummer Ray X-Factor through a table!

01:25:34By X-Pac!

01:25:37Say goodnight, Bubba!

01:25:38Devon through a table as well!

01:25:41DX sending a message to the Dudley's for the table match at Judgment Day!

01:25:46Look at him there, quivering mess!

01:25:48Broken tables and bodies, thanks to DX in the ring!

01:25:52You gotta give Tori credit, she stopped the whole thing!

01:25:56Patterson and Crisco, look at those two sitting table up as well!

01:25:58The Stooges!

01:25:59Triple H just turned the tables on the Rock!

01:26:03Hey, I got a feeling that table that Crisco and Patterson have sent up has The Rock's name on it!

01:26:09And The Rock into the steel steps!

01:26:12The Rock has no allies, King!

01:26:15The Dudley's have been eliminated by DX!

01:26:18The Dudley's were never The Rock's allies!

01:26:20And look at The Rock, trying to battle back!

01:26:23The Rock five against one, battling back!

01:26:26Oh my gosh!

01:26:27The champ rising to the occasion!

01:26:29Unbelievable!

01:26:30Look out!

01:26:31You can't!

01:26:32A slow booster!

01:26:34Through a table!

01:26:35On the ball!

01:26:36You're not going to win anything!

01:26:38And The Rock in Triple H, exchanging blows!

01:26:41The Champion, The Rock!

01:26:44Look out!

01:26:45Look out!

01:27:01A Rock five!

01:27:02Triple H with a Rock five!

01:27:04And The Rock through a table!

01:27:09I can't believe that Triple H used The Rock's own-

01:27:13And the winners are D-Generation X!

01:27:18Yeah, you're winners, Michael!

01:27:20Triple H with payback from The Rock!

01:27:23This is sadistic!

01:27:25Triple H King using The Rock's signature move,

01:27:28putting it through a table with The Rock bottle!
