00:00:22And now Shane is motioning for the game to enter the ring with that sledgehammer in hand.
00:00:29Oh, this is it.
00:00:31Shawn Michaels is standing helplessly, being restrained by Shane McMahon.
00:00:39I want you to see this coming.
00:00:41How sick is that?
00:00:45Don't do it.
00:00:46No, don't do it.
00:00:47Oh, my God.
00:00:48Oh, my God.
00:00:49A sledgehammer intended for Michaels just caught Shane McMahon right in the face.
00:01:09Hold on, hold on.
00:01:11Sorry, it's tonight.
00:01:13Sorry, it's tonight.
00:01:16Tonight, tonight, tonight.
00:01:29Good evening.
00:01:31Last week, my son Shane was accidentally battered with a sledgehammer.
00:01:40The only thing that saved Shane from permanent damage was his superior conditioning and unquestionably his superior genetics.
00:01:51Nonetheless, Shane has suffered a mild concussion.
00:01:56While I'm certain this incident was an accident, tonight I will demand a public apology from the individual who perpetrated
00:02:07this horrific act, Triple H.
00:02:11And I will demand a public apology.
00:02:14Anything other than a meaningful, sincere apology will be dealt with with swift, vengeful retaliation.
00:02:33In the nation, after a trial, no – the will be dealt with, must be safe,ďain, no, no, no.
00:02:41Let's get it out.
00:02:44I need to get it out.
00:02:46Let's get it out.
00:02:47The love, the money, we're in this together, we do it all.
00:02:52They say that nothing's forever
00:02:55And they refuse to see the change in me
00:02:59Why won't they wake up?
00:03:01Oh, it's not
00:03:08New to the music
00:03:10New to the music
00:03:12New to the music
00:03:18Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Monday Night Raw
00:03:21We are live in Las Vegas, Nevada
00:03:24The Thomas and Max Center is rocking on the campus of DMLB, King
00:03:30And tonight here in Vegas, Mr. McMahon's mission to make Shawn Michaels' life of living hell continues
00:03:36As he puts Shawn Michaels in a five-on-one handicap match against the entire spirit squad
00:03:42Plus tonight, ladies and gentlemen, the 10th, John Cena
00:03:46What's going on with Chris Masters and Masters fouls to make the champion, John Cena, submit to the master line
00:03:56Hey, what's going on got a
00:04:03What is that?
00:04:06A piece of red silk or something, and I don't know what that is, that is Mick Foley
00:04:12And I'll tell you what, we thought Mick Foley was gonna give us some answers last week
00:04:15Regarding his new town allegiance with his arch-rival Edge
00:04:20And their, their angst regarding ECW
00:04:24Wait a minute, wait a minute, am I hallucinating?
00:04:26Or is Mick Foley actually wearing a suit?
00:04:29What is this?
00:04:31It is a, it must be a special occasion
00:04:34For Mick Foley to be out of the flannels and into the, uh
00:04:38I don't know if it's, uh, Brooks Brothers
00:04:40But the way it looks, that's not a haircut, it's a cry for help
00:04:43But the suit, I don't get it
00:04:47Men's warehouse must have had a sale
00:04:54Thank you for your, your continued support
00:04:58You don't know how much I appreciate it
00:05:00Especially in lieu of the terrible misunderstanding that's taken place the last few weeks
00:05:06I just want to set the record straight
00:05:08You see, I am not a bad guy
00:05:18It's okay to cheer me
00:05:20Parents, tell the kids
00:05:22Booze aren't really necessary
00:05:26No, no, hey, hey, come on
00:05:28Come on, I'm the lovable guy
00:05:30Look at this adorable gap-toothed smile
00:05:33Oh, wow
00:05:36I'm the, I'm the human Muppet
00:05:37The guy who puts his thumb up in the air and says
00:05:40It's great to be right here in Las Vegas
00:05:44And still gets the G-pop
00:05:49Except it's
00:05:50It's not really that great
00:05:52To be right here in Las Vegas
00:06:01Hear me out
00:06:02It's just that I have this little problem
00:06:05With millions of people
00:06:06Showing up in a city
00:06:07Hoping to change their lives
00:06:09With a roll of the dice
00:06:11Or a spin of a wheel
00:06:15I think you'll all agree
00:06:17It's much more admirable
00:06:18To actually earn your accomplishments
00:06:21Like I did
00:06:25Come on now
00:06:26I didn't become three-time WWE champion
00:06:29By rolling a seven at the craps table
00:06:32Did I
00:06:33You got a point
00:06:37I didn't become a two-time New York Times
00:06:40Number one best-selling author
00:06:42By putting a quarter in a Slingo machine
00:06:48I earned it
00:06:51I earned every single thing
00:06:53I accomplished in my illustrious career
00:06:59As did my guest tonight
00:07:02Who earned
00:07:03His undefeated streak
00:07:05At Wrestlemania
00:07:07Who earned the right
00:07:09To be called
00:07:09The most viewed champion
00:07:11Of the last five years
00:07:15Ladies and gentlemen
00:07:17Say hello to
00:07:19The rated R superstar
00:07:24He is Edge
00:07:26You think you know me
00:07:29Man, you talk about an odd couple
00:07:32And I'm not talking about Edge and Lita
00:07:34I'm talking about Edge and Mick Foley
00:07:36Two guys that literally beat each other's brains out
00:07:39In a hardcore match
00:07:41At Wrestlemania
00:07:42Are now apparently
00:07:44On the same page
00:07:45And I am baffled by that
00:07:47Let's think of each other's faces
00:07:49Maybe tonight
00:07:50Maybe in just a moment from now
00:07:53We'll get the reason for that
00:07:56I certainly did not
00:07:57I was shocked
00:07:59No, Lita, why would you be so shocked?
00:08:02Lita always looks that good
00:08:03I will start referring about Lita
00:08:05Referring about last week in Lubbock, Texas
00:08:08When Terry Punk, the mentor of Mick Foley
00:08:11Try to talk some
00:08:12Look, look, look
00:08:13Some sense
00:08:14Some logic
00:08:15Still some logic
00:08:17Into this
00:08:17Whole unique dichotomy
00:08:29Edgeway, first
00:08:31On behalf of all my WWE fans
00:08:34In regard to Lita
00:08:36Let me say for all of us
00:08:37Holy crap
00:08:39My cinnamon's exactly
00:08:42Now I know you're wondering
00:08:43What all this is about
00:08:45The red carpet
00:08:47The expensive suit
00:08:48And it's because
00:08:49I am simply not going to apologize
00:08:52For having the greatest hardcore match
00:08:54In wrestling history
00:08:56At Wrestlemania
00:08:57We did that
00:09:02And I don't care what people think
00:09:05I don't care about the Tommy Dreamers
00:09:07Of the world
00:09:08I don't care about Terry Funk's opinion
00:09:12The truth is
00:09:14You embody
00:09:15Everything
00:09:16That hardcore
00:09:18Is all about
00:09:20Not that slime
00:09:22That oozed out of ECW
00:09:24Which is why I am presenting you
00:09:28With this
00:09:30Hey
00:09:32Because you're hardcore
00:09:34You're hardcore
00:09:35You're hardcore
00:09:40I know what you're thinking, Edgster
00:09:44This was given to me
00:09:45This was given to me as a retirement present
00:09:46But I'm un-retiring it right now
00:09:49Because you
00:09:51Above and beyond anyone else
00:09:53Deserve
00:09:54The hardcore championship
00:09:56About as popular as Bobby
00:09:59Vaughn's getting 714 home runs
00:10:01Nobody's jumping for joy
00:10:03Yeah, but no, look at this
00:10:04This is very moving, J.R.
00:10:07This is historic
00:10:08This title has been retired, King
00:10:10It's un-retired
00:10:12I don't know what to say
00:10:23I mean, Mick, you're right
00:10:26Everything that I've accomplished in my career
00:10:28I do deserve
00:10:34But I can't accept this
00:10:36I can't
00:10:37I mean
00:10:40It's true
00:10:41All of that is true
00:10:42But
00:10:42You forgot to mention
00:10:44One very important thing
00:10:46I got the hottest girl in Vegas
00:10:48Coming to bed with me tonight
00:10:55But, Mick, listen to me
00:10:57You're the original hardcore legend
00:11:00I mean, you had to toil in obscurity
00:11:02In bingo halls for ECW for years
00:11:06You had to bite your tongue
00:11:07While a so-called legend like Ric Flair
00:11:09Summed you up as a glorified stuntman
00:11:20And while I did beat your ass at Wrestlemania
00:11:22I
00:11:24I can't do it
00:11:26I can't
00:11:28You, Mick Foley
00:11:29You deserve to be
00:11:31The hardcore champion
00:11:38Wait a second
00:11:38I'm giving you a gift
00:11:40And now you're
00:11:41You're giving it back
00:11:44And don't get me wrong
00:11:45It is ironic
00:11:46That the man who referred to me
00:11:47As a glorified stuntman
00:11:50Earned his Wrestlemania check
00:11:52For basically not getting killed
00:11:54In a ladder match
00:11:58That's fine
00:12:00But what is not fine
00:12:01Is that you and I
00:12:02Seem to have a little problem here
00:12:03You see
00:12:04I think
00:12:05You deserve
00:12:06The hardcore championship
00:12:09You think
00:12:10I deserve
00:12:12The hardcore championship
00:12:16And as far as I can tell
00:12:18There's only one way to resolve the issue
00:12:24Oh my
00:12:25That's Mick Foley
00:12:26I know
00:12:26That's you and I
00:12:28One more time
00:12:29To beat the living hell out of each other
00:12:32Right here tonight
00:12:33What?
00:12:35Tonight?
00:12:36And I've got the biggest roar of the night thus far
00:12:41You want to see it?
00:12:45Mick Foley
00:12:46It's hardcore
00:12:47One more time
00:12:50I got an even better idea
00:12:53Better idea
00:12:56Better idea than a hardcore championship match
00:12:58Here tonight
00:12:59Live on Raw
00:13:06Ladies and gentlemen
00:13:08Here are your new co-holders
00:13:10Of the WWE Hardcore Championship
00:13:13Edge and Mick Foley
00:13:18What?
00:13:19What a pair
00:13:20I'm not talking about
00:13:21Lead Outer
00:13:22Edge and Mick Foley
00:13:23Mutual Admiration Society
00:13:27What the hell is this?
00:13:29Look who's here
00:13:30My God
00:13:31Please give me a break
00:13:32The founder of ECW King
00:13:34Paul Heyman
00:13:38Don't let anybody in here
00:13:42I take it you're not too high on Paul
00:13:44And what rock did he crawl out from under?
00:13:49Can we get security out here?
00:13:54Las Vegas
00:13:55Give me just a little bit of advice here
00:13:58This is the only state that I know of where it's legal
00:14:02So I find it ironic that I look into the ring
00:14:06And I see live prostitution on Monday Night Raw
00:14:28He doesn't like that
00:14:30I'm sorry
00:14:32Lita I wasn't talking to you
00:14:35I was talking to you Mick Foley
00:14:42You see cards on the table
00:14:44Mick Foley
00:14:45You're a prostitute
00:14:49Here you are
00:14:51A legend
00:14:52A man that gave his blood
00:14:54His sweat
00:14:55His tear
00:14:56His sacrifice
00:14:57To entertain
00:14:58Each and every one of these people
00:15:00Here you are
00:15:02A man that took time away
00:15:04From his family
00:15:05To entertain
00:15:07These people
00:15:08And you prostitute yourself
00:15:10Away from them
00:15:11For Edge and Lita?
00:15:18You prostitute their love
00:15:21And their admiration
00:15:22For them?
00:15:27Hey Mick
00:15:29You prostituted your name
00:15:31You prostituted your legacy
00:15:35But I'll be damned
00:15:37If I'll sit here and watch you
00:15:39Prostitute the name
00:15:41Of Hardcore
00:15:48Why don't you Mick
00:15:50Tell me what it's like
00:15:52To look in the mirror
00:15:54And see the reflection
00:15:56And all that reflection is
00:15:58Is a shell
00:16:00Of your former self
00:16:06You know something Paul?
00:16:08I'm going to clear things up
00:16:09Because that is not what I see
00:16:11When I look in the mirror
00:16:12You know what I see Paul Heyman?
00:16:15I see the co-holder
00:16:17Of the WWE
00:16:19Hardcore Championship
00:16:25I see
00:16:26A WWE
00:16:29Superstar
00:16:31I see a real life
00:16:33Action bigger
00:16:34I see the author
00:16:36Of best selling books
00:16:37Including one I'm working on now
00:16:39That will be available next spring
00:16:41And how ironic it is
00:16:45That you criticize me
00:16:47A man of such immense power
00:16:49When you yourself Paul
00:16:51Have nothing left
00:16:55You're not the general manager
00:16:57Of Smackdown anymore
00:16:59You don't own your own company
00:17:02You've got nothing Paul
00:17:05No power
00:17:07So go back
00:17:08Whatever little hole
00:17:09In the ground
00:17:09You came from
00:17:10And let me
00:17:11And you later
00:17:12Enjoy the adulation
00:17:13Of our WWE fans
00:17:21Don't boo him
00:17:22He's right
00:17:24He's right
00:17:24I'm powerless
00:17:26I'm a cog in a wheel
00:17:27I'm a peon
00:17:28Mick
00:17:28I have no more power
00:17:30No Mick
00:17:32I do
00:17:33I do have the power
00:17:35To make a challenge
00:17:38See I'm involved
00:17:40In this little concept
00:17:41Called ECW
00:17:43One night stand
00:17:45Wow
00:17:48Live on pay per view
00:17:49Sunday night
00:17:51June 11th
00:17:52And my suggestion to you
00:17:54Co-holder of the hardcore title
00:17:56Is that at ECW
00:17:58One night stand
00:17:59On Sunday night
00:18:00June 11th
00:18:00We take the
00:18:01Co-holders
00:18:02Of the hardcore title
00:18:05And we match them up
00:18:06Against I don't know
00:18:07Any two dregs of society
00:18:09Any two
00:18:11Hardcore ECW scumbags
00:18:13That I can drag
00:18:15Out of the bingo hall
00:18:16To take the two of you
00:18:18Through an extreme experience
00:18:20That neither one of you
00:18:22Could ever deny
00:18:28You're a chock full
00:18:30Of great suggestions Paul
00:18:31Why don't I offer
00:18:33One of my own
00:18:33Why don't I suggest
00:18:34You get the hell out
00:18:35Of our WWE building
00:18:37There you go
00:18:38Why don't I suggest
00:18:39That you listen close
00:18:41To the voice
00:18:42Of a WWE superstar
00:18:43As he says
00:18:45No freaking way
00:18:47Paul
00:18:49What's so funny
00:18:50What's so damn funny
00:18:52I thought I made myself
00:18:53Perfectly clear
00:18:54What I find funny
00:18:56Is that here I am
00:18:58I look at Mick Foley
00:18:59I look at Lita
00:19:00I look at Ed's and I just
00:19:01Came to the realization
00:19:03That Lita is the only one
00:19:05In the ring with any nuts
00:19:09Okay
00:19:09That's it
00:19:11That's enough
00:19:11I'm not
00:19:12I'm not putting up with
00:19:13Any more
00:19:14That's it
00:19:14You take any two of your
00:19:16ECW nobodies
00:19:17I don't care who they are
00:19:18You're on
00:19:19At One Night Stand
00:19:21You're on
00:19:22You know what
00:19:23Mick
00:19:24Let's show this dumbass
00:19:25What hardcore's all about
00:19:27Oh
00:19:28Here you go
00:19:29Now that's not a very good idea
00:19:32I mean
00:19:33You want to do this now
00:19:34I mean now here in Las Vegas
00:19:37Well if you want to do this now
00:19:39Meet your opponent
00:19:41From One Night Stand
00:19:46That's Terry Buck
00:19:47It's Tommy Dreamer
00:19:50Come on
00:19:51Give me a break
00:19:52Look at that now
00:19:53That Buck and Dreamer
00:19:54Not coming in
00:19:55I told you
00:19:56Get security out here
00:19:58These bums have no business
00:20:00Feet in the WWE
00:20:01Terry Buck and Tommy Dreamer
00:20:04To take off
00:20:05And now Dreamer getting some retribution
00:20:09As is Terry Buck
00:20:13Bowling being battered
00:20:17Knees burst into the steel steps
00:20:20That idiot Terry Buck
00:20:22Dreamer going for Edge's head
00:20:24With a Kindle stick
00:20:28Edge and Lita scanning the security wall
00:20:31They're running like scalded dogs
00:20:34Let's get that baseball bat
00:20:35Covered with barbed wire
00:20:39And it's Foley and Lita running for safety here
00:20:45As the ECW duo of Dreamer and Buck
00:20:49Along with Paul Heyman
00:20:52Have made a huge statement
00:20:54Here tonight King
00:20:55Come on JR
00:20:56This is a disgrace
00:20:57This is ridiculous
00:21:00ECW Buck standing tall
00:21:02In a WWE ring
00:21:04I can't believe Foley
00:21:06And Edge
00:21:07Running
00:21:08They ran away from the fight
00:21:14We're back live on Raw and JR
00:21:15One of my favorite things to ever take place
00:21:17And the WWE is coming at you again
00:21:19You can see it right there
00:21:20Quarter million dollar WWE diva search
00:21:23Look at it
00:21:24Deadline for entries
00:21:25Wednesday, June 7th, 2006
00:21:27Come on, you wannabe divas
00:21:29We love you
00:21:30Go to WWE.com for all the information
00:21:33And we are live in Las Vegas
00:21:35What stays in Las Vegas
00:21:37What happens in Las Vegas
00:21:39We'll stay here tonight
00:21:39Because we're live here
00:21:41In the Thomas and Mac Center
00:21:43Paris, Florida
00:21:44What a great city
00:21:45It changes every time you come here
00:22:01This contest is coming for one fall
00:22:03And it is for the Intercontinental Championship
00:22:07Introducing the challenger
00:22:09From Battle Creek, Michigan
00:22:10Weighing in at 230 pounds
00:22:12He is Mr. Money in the Bank
00:22:15Rob Van Dam
00:22:18And last week Rob Van Dam
00:22:20Involved in a two-on-three Texas Tornado
00:22:22Handicap match
00:22:23Cena's WWE title
00:22:25And RBD's Intercontinental title
00:22:27King was both at stake
00:22:29Yeah
00:22:29John Cena with that big frog splash
00:22:31Sheldon Benjamin
00:22:32Then Triple H comes from behind
00:22:34And hits the pedigree of Rob Van Dam
00:22:37And then another pedigree on John Cena
00:22:40It looked like Triple H is gonna win the WWE title
00:22:43But before Triple H can make the cover
00:22:45Benjamin got an arm over
00:22:47And Sheldon Benjamin won the Intercontinental title
00:22:50Here is the winner and the new Intercontinental Champion
00:22:55Sheldon Benjamin
00:22:57That certainly didn't sit well with Triple H
00:23:00And it certainly doesn't sit well with RBD
00:23:03Who gets another shot
00:23:05Here and now
00:23:06To regain the title
00:23:07And making his win in the ring
00:23:09From Orangeburg, South Carolina
00:23:10Weighing in at 248 pounds
00:23:13He is the Intercontinental Champion
00:23:17Sheldon Benjamin
00:23:20Sheldon Benjamin walking with a great deal of self-confidence
00:23:24He is the Intercontinental Champion for a short week now
00:23:27And the Intercontinental title on the line
00:23:30Against Rob Van Dam
00:23:31I think a former six-time Intercontinental Champion
00:23:36Well, Sheldon Benjamin now with that Intercontinental title around his waist
00:23:40He is more cocky, he is more competent, he is more arrogant than ever, JR
00:23:44Well, what a great ovation for Rob Van Dam
00:23:48Being introduced here at the Thomas and Mack Center in Vegas
00:23:51So, Van Dam certainly got his share of fans here tonight
00:23:54We've got a huge crowd here in Vegas
00:23:57Yeah, but I can't understand this crowd
00:23:58If these people will cheer for an idiot like Paul Heyman, they'll cheer for anybody
00:24:02One, two, three, two, one
00:24:05Carnell will tie up again one fall for the Intercontinental title
00:24:07Here tonight
00:24:08Sugar Rock by the somewhat unorthodox Rob Van Dam
00:24:12Whoa, and Van Dam
00:24:16Nice move there by Van Dam
00:24:17Had that one well scouted
00:24:19These two men are certainly king, no strangers to each other
00:24:22They had a great rivalry building when Van Dam was the Intercontinental Champion
00:24:27Van Dam's feet are flying early in this match
00:24:29Anytime you're gonna see Rob Van Dam
00:24:36You're gonna see more kicks than a Jackie Chan movie
00:24:41Nice reverse elbow by the former University of Minnesota
00:24:45Wrestling All-American Shelton Benjamin
00:24:49Great right hand
00:24:51And Van Dam certainly fired up
00:24:54I talked to him earlier today
00:24:55He's very excited about this opportunity
00:24:58Feels good about tonight
00:24:59Step up
00:25:01One of those kicks I was talking about
00:25:03Step over heel kick
00:25:05Benjamin trying to walk it
00:25:06Nope, nope
00:25:07And as we said both men know each other very well
00:25:10Ladies and gentlemen will this be the night
00:25:13That Van Dam regains the Intercontinental title
00:25:16This mess continues when we come back
00:25:20We are back live here on Monday Night Raw
00:25:23We saw the Intercontinental title on the line
00:25:24Rob Van Dam challenging
00:25:25Shelton Benjamin the new champion
00:25:28Van Dam losing the title of Benjamin
00:25:30Last week here on Raw
00:25:31And King during the commercial break
00:25:34We saw quite a turn in momentum
00:25:36Now this is how Shelton Benjamin turned things around right here
00:25:39Look at this
00:25:39Watch him drop
00:25:41Drop Van Dam running his face into the turtle
00:25:45Van Dam now trying to fight back out of that predicament
00:25:48Has reestablished a vertical base from Shelton Benjamin
00:25:51And Benjamin
00:25:53A balance of near fall out of the off balance
00:25:57Of Shelton Benjamin there
00:26:00Van Dam has been able to
00:26:02To be another near fall
00:26:05Van Dam desperately wanting to regain his Intercontinental title
00:26:09Here tonight live from the Thomas and Mack Center
00:26:12On the campus of UNLV in Las Vegas
00:26:17Standing vertical six bucks countered into a snapping neckbreaker
00:26:22He's gotta do it
00:26:22The cover there
00:26:23Referee's hand coming down for the fatal three count
00:26:27Meaning Benjamin now with the leg scissors
00:26:31He's gotta hook those legs together to get the full effect
00:26:34He's also got a real tight chin lock applied to Rob Van Dam
00:26:39Rob Van Dam is gonna have a hard time kicking Shelton Benjamin from this position
00:26:45Well right now I'm sure that Rob Van Dam is glad that just the Intercontinental title is on the line
00:26:50And not his money in the bank briefcase
00:26:53Van Dam won that money in the bank briefcase
00:26:56In a six man interpromotional ladder match back at WrestleMania
00:26:59Which gives him the right to fight the champion
00:27:02Whether it be the WWE champion or the world's champion
00:27:04Anytime Van Dam chooses between now and next WrestleMania
00:27:11I mean Van Dam with the opportunity of a lifetime
00:27:15And then last week, Jared, I couldn't believe Rob Van Dam actually bad-mouthing the WWE
00:27:20Well, he's very outspoken, there's no doubt about that
00:27:22He may not, he says what's in his heart
00:27:24Perhaps know what you or others wanted to hear
00:27:27Yeah, well, Simon, he puts his mouth in gear before he starts the brain
00:27:33Benjamin drowning Van Dam with that reverse chin lock
00:27:37Also making Van Dam carry Benjamin with a portion of Shelton's body weight there
00:27:43Van Dam the man with the educated beat as we have determined
00:27:47Rights and less, she's ambidextrous in that regard
00:27:53And incoming!
00:27:54No!
00:27:55Nobody hold!
00:27:57Benjamin may have paused, it's a little bit too long
00:27:59And the old malfunction of the junction theory
00:28:02And Van Dam trying to block that right hand
00:28:04But again, it's the Intercontinental Champion
00:28:07Starting to say getting the advantage
00:28:09His feet come at you from everywhere
00:28:10And Van Dam again
00:28:13And Van Dam, he can hit you from third
00:28:16A variety of angles of those feet
00:28:18And the clothesline taking down the champion, the challenger
00:28:22Building momentum
00:28:23And a straight martial arts kick
00:28:25That's a knockout kick
00:28:25They should do it
00:28:26Van Dam, hook on the line
00:28:28He's gonna go
00:28:30So close
00:28:31So close
00:28:33Says referee Chad Patton
00:28:35Who had great position there
00:28:37I'll tell you something
00:28:38You found respect for Shelton Benjamin
00:28:41To be able to kick out after that huge kick
00:28:43Went to the chin
00:28:45Look at that
00:28:46Pretty ridiculous
00:28:47With that modified body scissors
00:28:49Into a cradle
00:28:50And a knockdown
00:28:51Van Dam is beating Benjamin
00:28:52To the punch here
00:28:53Shelton Benjamin needs to try to
00:28:55Regain his
00:28:55Roley Thunder
00:28:57And this time
00:28:58Roley Thunder
00:28:59Finds its mark
00:29:01Will it be enough?
00:29:02The hook
00:29:03The leg is hooked
00:29:04Whoa
00:29:04Whoa
00:29:05And another
00:29:06Very, very
00:29:08Near fall
00:29:09For the challenger
00:29:10For Shelton Benjamin's Intercontinental title
00:29:15Man, big shot there
00:29:16Benjamin a great wrestler
00:29:18Resorting, 팔 and canners with the four shots
00:29:23And the Feet
00:29:25Yeah
00:29:26Samoan, Sole
00:29:27Man heard the referee's like
00:29:29And now i've got the referee's like ankle or calf there
00:29:32And then that Samoan drop
00:29:34And
00:29:36I may have
00:29:37imag merit
00:29:39Right
00:29:42And
00:29:42Shelton Benjamin
00:29:44perhaps feels a sense of urgency or desperation here.
00:29:49Because the referee is down, Benjamin's got the championship belt.
00:29:54The Intercontinental Championship title belt.
00:29:57Go!
00:29:58Right in the face, Van Dam.
00:30:02That Van Daminator, almost a modified Van Dam.
00:30:06Wait, the referee's ringing the bell.
00:30:15Here's your winner and still, Intercontinental Champion, Shelton Benjamin.
00:30:21I think the referee disqualified Rob Van Dam.
00:30:24They obviously had to disqualify Rob Van Dam, and I can read the referee's lips.
00:30:30He said, you use the Intercontinental Championship belt on Shelton Benjamin,
00:30:35but the bottom line was Benjamin.
00:30:38Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute now.
00:30:40Don't be a sore loser, Rob, what are you doing?
00:30:44What a five-star front splash from over half the women from the ring.
00:30:50That was untold for.
00:30:52Van Dam putting an exclamation point on his disqualification.
00:30:59And it looked like Van Dam was poised to regain the Intercontinental Championship.
00:31:04But obviously, the referee made a very controversial decision that has done so
00:31:12well with Van Dam or many of his fans.
00:31:16Well, Shelton Benjamin, bottom line, is still the Intercontinental Champion.
00:31:24Barely, barely the champion.
00:31:26My God, we had a good time last night, didn't we?
00:31:28It was great.
00:31:29It was great.
00:31:29Rocked in the house.
00:31:31And you guys remember, it was in this arena, here in Las Vegas, about seven years ago,
00:31:38when I soundly defeated Triple H for the W.E. Tower.
00:31:41Remember that?
00:31:41I do, too.
00:31:42Yeah, it was great.
00:31:43Wait a minute.
00:31:44Candice, come on in here.
00:31:46Yeah.
00:31:47How are you?
00:31:47I'm great.
00:31:48But I want you to make some friends of mine.
00:31:50Bill Gibbons.
00:31:51Hey, Bill.
00:31:51Oh, yeah.
00:31:52Hey, how are you?
00:31:54I'll let you guys get acquainted.
00:31:56I got a little something to take care of in the ring, a little public apology.
00:31:59I have no problem.
00:32:00No problem.
00:32:01No problem.
00:32:01No problem at all.
00:32:02Thank you, Mr. McMahon.
00:32:04Well, boys, do you know ZZ Top is my favorite band?
00:32:09It's a pretty good thing, I believe.
00:32:11I'm pretty sure.
00:32:12I'm pretty sure.
00:32:13How about it, JP?
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:16Do you like my pearl necklace?
00:32:17I was noticing.
00:32:19Mm-hmm.
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:20We're not...
00:32:22We won't tell the words to our mom.
00:32:24Okay.
00:32:24No.
00:32:25Mm-hmm.
00:32:27And now Shane is motioning for the game to enter the ring with that sledgehammer in
00:32:33hand.
00:32:34Oh, this is it.
00:32:36Shawn Michaels is standing helplessly, being restrained by Shane McMahon.
00:32:43I want you to see this coming.
00:32:46How sick is that?
00:32:49Don't do it.
00:32:50Oh, no.
00:32:51Oh, no.
00:32:52Oh, no.
00:32:52Oh, my God.
00:32:53Oh, my God.
00:32:54Oh, my God.
00:32:54The sledgehammer into the...
00:32:56Michael just caught Shane McMahon right in the face.
00:33:06Oh, my God.
00:33:16Oh.
00:33:16I'm sorry, bitch.
00:33:17It's a nice, man.
00:33:19Oh, my God.
00:33:22Oh.
00:33:24Oh, my God.
00:33:27Oh, my God.
00:33:27Oh, my God.
00:33:30Oh, my God.
00:33:30Oh, my God.
00:33:37We are back live here on Monday Night Raw.
00:33:41Jim Ross and Jerry the King Lawler with you live from Las Vegas.
00:33:44And JR, you gotta admit that was some pretty powerful footage we just witnessed.
00:33:50Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Chairman of WWE, Mr. McMahon.
00:34:00Well, Mr. McMahon said that Triple H will make a public apology or Triple H will be dealt
00:34:05with Smith and Vickie.
00:34:07All right, earlier tonight I said there was going to be a public apology out here and there
00:34:10damn well will be.
00:34:17And a man who's going to publicly apologize in a moment is the very same individual who
00:34:21struck my son Shane with a sledgehammer.
00:34:29So we have the public, the only thing missing is that one person who needs to apologize to
00:34:37me.
00:34:38Triple H, the public awaits.
00:34:55Triple H, I said the public awaits.
00:35:01Triple H.
00:35:06Triple H, the king of kings.
00:35:35It is really hard, King, to predict what we might see here.
00:35:41Knowing the volatile nature of both these men, knowing the emotional attachment that
00:35:49Mr. McMahon has with his son Shane getting his brains rattled last week with that Eden
00:35:56Burton.
00:35:57What do you mean?
00:35:58There's no telling what's going to happen.
00:36:00Triple H is going to apologize.
00:36:02That's all that can happen.
00:36:03Or it's going to be, as Mr. McMahon said, dealt with swift, vengeful retaliation.
00:36:08You know what that's like, JR.
00:36:10You got a little taste of that last October.
00:36:13I certainly did.
00:36:15So he'll take about maybe 30 seconds and he'll apologize.
00:36:24I think you have something you want to say to me.
00:36:34I said, I think you have something you want to say to me.
00:36:37Oh, all right.
00:36:38Before you say anything, let me remind you of a couple of things.
00:36:43Let me remind you of what Shawn Michaels once said to me.
00:36:46That I should act my age.
00:36:49I should move on.
00:36:51And ever since then, Shawn Michaels' life has been a living hell.
00:36:57And by the way, that living hell continues tonight when Shawn Michaels faces all five members of the Spirit Squad.
00:37:07And need I remind you what I said earlier, that if I didn't have a meaningful and sincere apology, that
00:37:17there would be swift, vengeful retaliation.
00:37:25So I'm waiting for those two words.
00:37:40Two words.
00:37:48You want two words?
00:37:59That works out great, because I've got two words for you.
00:38:11I'm sorry.
00:38:15There you go.
00:38:17What did I tell you?
00:38:19Did you hear that?
00:38:20Did you hear that?
00:38:21I'm sorry.
00:38:24You know what?
00:38:25I will accept your apology, but I'll accept it on one condition.
00:38:30That is, tonight, after the Spirit Squad dismember Shawn Michaels, I will then command you.
00:38:38And you will only come out on my command.
00:38:42And you will bring a sledgehammer with you.
00:38:45And you will crush Shawn Michaels' skull.
00:38:50Oh, my God.
00:38:52On command.
00:38:53Then I'll accept your apology.
00:38:57Do we understand each other?
00:39:13What a pact.
00:39:22We definitely have an understanding.
00:39:30I think we're gonna witness the professional execution of Shawn Michaels' career here tonight, King.
00:39:40Five men, the World Time Team Champions.
00:39:43If that's not bad enough.
00:39:46Well, the game is the Cerebral Assassin.
00:39:49He's smart.
00:39:50He made the right choice.
00:39:52He did what he had to do.
00:39:57And speaking of tonight, check it out.
00:39:59John Cena, the champ, is here.
00:40:02He's gonna be taking off.
00:40:03Chris Masters.
00:40:04Did it not tag him up?
00:40:05And are you ready for this, JR?
00:40:07That match is next.
00:40:09Masters Files and Maxina Submit.
00:40:11Next.
00:40:14Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a man who certainly had a tumultuous couple of weeks.
00:40:18He's the star of the brand new movie, See No Evil, Kane.
00:40:27May 19th.
00:40:32That was the date when my mother and adopted family were killed in a fire.
00:40:41And I have fought my whole life to suppress those memories, those demons.
00:40:50But now, May 19th has come and gone.
00:40:56And I have a new movie out in which I kill lots of people in unique and excruciating fashion.
00:41:05And tonight, I have a match in which I plan to inflict insufferable pain and punishment upon my opponent.
00:41:18If you want to know the truth, I've never been happier.
00:41:33Thank God he's happy.
00:41:34That's happy.
00:41:38By the way, I did see New Evil last weekend.
00:41:41Well, you need to go again and watch this time with your eyes open.
00:41:43Good thing I was wearing dark pants.
00:41:45I heard about your reaction to that movie.
00:41:47Wow!
00:41:52Our masters be moaning the fact that he didn't become the WWE Champion or the Intercontinental Champion last week in
00:42:01that two on three Texas Tornado match.
00:42:05With both the WWE and Intercontinental title line, he was somewhat whining about his lack of success last week.
00:42:17He's gonna be whining when he hears you continually talk through his entrance.
00:42:24This contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:42:26Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 275 pounds,
00:42:33the masterpiece, Chris Master.
00:42:36Look, can you do that?
00:42:38No.
00:42:39Not really.
00:42:41I need a little help.
00:42:42I need to have a wiping.
00:42:43Oh, stop.
00:42:45ECW, One Night Stand is presented by X-Men, the official game.
00:42:51Master the power of the X-Men.
00:42:55Well, Master says he...
00:42:58Tell me, why does all this ECW stuff on our show tonight?
00:43:01I don't.
00:43:02One Night Stand game.
00:43:04Please.
00:43:0410-11.
00:43:07It was a huge success last year.
00:43:09I'm gonna start reacting that June 11th date like Kane did to May 19th.
00:43:13I don't want to hear it anymore.
00:43:16If you show up, there's something about it, Kane.
00:43:20If I showed up, it'd be to kick somebody's butt.
00:43:23Okay, don't get hot on me about it.
00:43:26If I ask him a question.
00:43:34They're on their feet.
00:43:36And the champ is here!
00:43:45And from West Newbury, Massachusetts, weighing in at 248 pounds, he is the WWE Champion,
00:43:55John Cena!
00:43:56The Controversial champ, John Cena, on such a meteoric rise with nothing scenery that can stop slowing down.
00:44:07John Cena has been hotter than Donut Breach.
00:44:11Let me tell you, he is real hot.
00:44:13But Nassar says, see this one down tonight, at the hands of the Nassarok.
00:44:19Because if we all know, the Nassarok has never been broken.
00:44:23That's right.
00:44:24So it could happen.
00:44:25It might happen.
00:44:27He won't hit the jackpot here in Las Vegas.
00:44:32I'll tell you what I'm still thinking about.
00:44:34That beating of the minds in the ring early on Mr. McMahon and Triple Eight.
00:44:37He just joined us.
00:44:40John Michaels later on tonight, live, will take on every member of the Spirit Squad,
00:44:45all five of them.
00:44:46And then when it's time, Mr. McMahon will summon the game to the ring with his sledgehammer
00:44:52to quote, unquote, bash Michaels' brains in.
00:44:56Right.
00:44:56You cannot believe that the game apologized to Mr. McMahon because-
00:45:01It was a little bit surprised.
00:45:02He had to.
00:45:02He had to.
00:45:03He had to.
00:45:04The champ, the WWE Champion John Cena, forcing young Masters back in the corner,
00:45:09cheap shot by Masters, no clean ring.
00:45:12And Masters already working in the neck and the head.
00:45:15Thinking one thing, what would a submission victory,
00:45:18what would a title match mean for Chris Masters?
00:45:24It would mean main events.
00:45:26It would mean great opportunity to cover.
00:45:28And Cena, proven he doesn't work by the hour, got a near fall there.
00:45:33Cena would like to make short work of Chris Masters.
00:45:36Doesn't look like it's gonna happen though.
00:45:38Wait a minute.
00:45:39Cena.
00:45:39A few times.
00:45:41Another shot right to the neck and shoulders by Master.
00:45:45Now man, that was a slumber knocker of a clothesline that took Cena down,
00:45:50almost took Cena's head off.
00:45:51I'm not kidding.
00:45:53Tremendous impact.
00:45:54See that?
00:45:56Here, listen to this impact.
00:46:00Masters running right through John Cena and the WWE Champion on the outside,
00:46:06trying to regain his abilities, if you will.
00:46:10Well, after the clothesline like that, you have to get a little R&R if you can.
00:46:16Cena had a ten count to utilize out there.
00:46:18Now Masters front face locking Cena, again twerking that neck.
00:46:22And the strength of Masters coming to the front, standing vertical suplex.
00:46:28Perfectly executed by Masters, who's now pulling for the cover.
00:46:32And Cena, Masters couldn't hook the legs, Cena got a left shoulder up.
00:46:37Maybe Masters is gonna try to beat Cena.
00:46:40Look at this.
00:46:40And then use the Master Lock.
00:46:41Well, here it comes.
00:46:42I think Chris Masters is telling everybody right now, he's ready to apply the Master Lock.
00:46:47And Cena in a weakened state, to say the least, and Masters fought for it.
00:46:53Cena trying to block it.
00:46:54Cena trying to block the Master Lock.
00:46:57Well, I'm sure Cena knew that this is what was on the mind of Chris Masters.
00:47:02And he's probably schooled himself on every way he can to block or break that Master Lock.
00:47:06Well, look at this.
00:47:09Cena, generally speaking, King, is just as strong as anyone that I know of.
00:47:14Ow!
00:47:15Man, if Cena, Cena took him, he took a huge risk.
00:47:19If Cena hurt, Masters is hurt, who's gonna survive?
00:47:23We'll find out when we come back.
00:47:26And we are back here on Monday Night Raw Live.
00:47:29The champ John Cena, one on one.
00:47:31It's a slugfest now, JR.
00:47:33With the masterpiece, Chris Masters.
00:47:35Masters coming in, has bowed to make the champ submit to the Master Lock.
00:47:42But right now, it doesn't look good for Chris Masters.
00:47:45John Cena, with that bullseye, figuratively painted on that big chest of his.
00:47:52A lot of guys want that WWE title.
00:47:55And it's a long list.
00:47:56It includes Triple H.
00:47:58It includes Edge.
00:48:00And it will include Masters.
00:48:01Look out!
00:48:13Look out!
00:48:19The intense John Cena.
00:48:22Yes, he's outspoken.
00:48:24Yes, he's controversial.
00:48:26But yes, he loves to compete.
00:48:28And the intensity of the WWE Champion just may be unmatched.
00:48:36And John Cena did not, I repeat, did not submit to the Master Lock on this night.
00:48:44Here in Las Vegas.
00:48:45We saw a submission, Owe.
00:48:52Uh-oh.
00:48:54That was, uh-oh.
00:48:56That was, uh-oh.
00:48:57Bob Van Damme, who we saw earlier, in an unsuccessful, albeit controversial,
00:49:04attempt to regain the Intercontinental title.
00:49:07You know what this means?
00:49:11And then, the scene of our partners last week,
00:49:14that first ever two men versus three Texas Tornado handicap match.
00:49:21Only then, Van Damme was the Intercontinental champ.
00:49:26He lost the title.
00:49:27Chill out, champ.
00:49:32In fact, savor the time you have with that title while I explain something here.
00:49:41See, I have a shot at the championship, which is something that was not easy to come by.
00:49:50No, in fact, the only way this came about is because I forced it.
00:49:56I won the Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania.
00:50:06Otherwise, I would never have been awarded what I deserve.
00:50:12So I wanted to tell you something, John.
00:50:15I'm not gonna waste this opportunity here where I can and probably will get screwed out of what I earn.
00:50:30Instead, I'd like to see this take place somewhere where I'm a lot more comfortable.
00:50:40Somewhere where the conditions work extremely well in my favor.
00:50:48Wait a minute.
00:50:54I'm cashing in the Money in the Bank.
00:50:58Judy Lovett at One Night Stand.
00:51:03Wait a minute. He can't do that, can he?
00:51:04Yes, he can.
00:51:06What?
00:51:07He has the opportunity in time between now and WrestleMania next year, anywhere.
00:51:11And ECW's One Night Stand?
00:51:13Anywhere, anytime, King.
00:51:15That's the deal.
00:51:18Pretty smart move by Van Damme.
00:51:20He's got a home field advantage.
00:51:22He's got a heck of a home field advantage at One Night Stand.
00:51:26Well, we may not have to wait till June 11.
00:51:28Look at this.
00:51:29Two very competitive men, John Cena and Rob Van Damme.
00:51:35One, two, one.
00:51:37Van Damme.
00:51:38He didn't do that.
00:51:39Here we go.
00:51:40Van Damme striking the first blow.
00:51:42But Cena stands here retaliating.
00:51:45John Cena and RBD.
00:51:47And a Swamp Fest here.
00:51:51It's not even June 11.
00:51:53And this is not at least for the Masters.
00:51:56I forgot about Masters.
00:51:57Masters trying to use that money to bring a briefcase to his advantage.
00:52:02Hey, let's get back, Tim.
00:52:04One, two, one.
00:52:07Van Damme with a briefcase.
00:52:09And Cena ain't the briefcase.
00:52:12And it's not made a chocolate, that metal briefcase with a contract inside.
00:52:20Van Damme not getting the most positive responses by the John Cena fans.
00:52:25Why should he?
00:52:26This is the WWE.
00:52:28Who cares about ECW crap?
00:52:33Again, I still don't see how that Rob Van Damme is able to cash in the match and
00:52:38have it on an ECW.
00:52:39Because winning a main event ladder match says any place, anytime, anywhere,
00:52:45Van Damme can tell us a champion.
00:52:47He has chosen Cena.
00:52:48The place.
00:52:49But why does it have to be an ECW one night stand?
00:52:55Tonight, Monday Night Raw is in one of those exciting cities in America,
00:52:58Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:52:59And I love him and him.
00:53:01And then what fate awaits Shawn Michaels later here tonight, live on Monday Night Raw.
00:53:07Great.
00:53:08I sit down and play poker.
00:53:10You mingle with the other players, or Carlito looks at their cards.
00:53:14We'll get everybody's money.
00:53:15We'll be the biggest.
00:53:16Carlito!
00:53:16What?
00:53:17Isn't that cheating?
00:53:20Only if we get caught.
00:53:22Don't worry, we'll be fine.
00:53:23Besides, I got a backup plan.
00:53:25Watch this.
00:53:28Huh?
00:53:29You see that?
00:53:30It's foolproof.
00:53:31Let's go.
00:53:32Let's see the casino now.
00:53:34Hey, Gene!
00:53:35Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:53:37You wanna come play with us?
00:53:38Nah, that's okay.
00:53:40I'm kind of waiting for somebody.
00:53:42I called this ad in the back of the newspaper, and Snitsky's hooking up with a real-life Las
00:53:49Vegas showgirl.
00:53:50Haha!
00:53:51Yeah!
00:53:51That was great, Snitsky.
00:53:52Come on.
00:53:53Oh, Gene, that's really sweet.
00:53:55I think I see her right over there.
00:53:57Really?
00:53:57Uh-huh, yeah.
00:53:59Oh, goodness gracious.
00:54:04Well, here goes nothing.
00:54:23Hey, I'm Snitsky.
00:54:25I bet those feet get sore doing that dancing all day.
00:54:29Hey, oh my, what big tootsies.
00:54:32We can go see the new movie from Kane, See No Evil.
00:54:37I once killed his unborn fetus, but we're over that now.
00:54:41Well, I hear it's really scary.
00:54:44You like Chinese food?
00:54:48What are you doing, Snitsky?
00:54:51Well, I'm just rubbing your feet.
00:54:53What for?
00:54:55Because I like the rough feet.
00:54:57Because I like the rough feet.
00:54:57What are you doing?
00:54:59I like to dress like this, you know, a showgirl.
00:55:02What's wrong with that?
00:55:04I know they say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
00:55:10But that was not cool.
00:55:20Oh, my God.
00:55:32Hey, what was that?
00:55:34What was what?
00:55:35What was that?
00:55:35I'm sorry.
00:55:36I'm sorry.
00:55:37You apologize to Vince McMahon.
00:55:40What is wrong with you?
00:55:41Yeah, I apologize.
00:55:41Get off your high heels, Sean.
00:55:42You know something?
00:55:43It didn't matter if we were riding down the highway together
00:55:46or if we were bashing each other's brains in.
00:55:48I always had respect for you.
00:55:50And you want to know why?
00:55:51Because up until now,
00:55:53you always had the ability to handle things like a man.
00:55:56What is wrong with you?
00:55:57No, come on.
00:55:57It was all holier than out of me.
00:55:58Oh, come on.
00:55:59You basically sold your soul to the devil out there.
00:56:02I do what I have to do.
00:56:04And if you don't like it, if no one else likes it,
00:56:06I don't care.
00:56:07Why don't you just do whatever Vince McMahon
00:56:10wants you to do.
00:56:11You sell out.
00:56:21The critics have made their choice.
00:56:25What?
00:56:25They saw the Da Vinci Code.
00:56:27What?
00:56:27They saw See No Evil.
00:56:30What?
00:56:30And I'm pretty sure that their pick for best leading actor
00:56:34will be Tom Hanks.
00:56:37That's for sure.
00:56:38Oh, yes.
00:56:39That's-
00:56:40Oh!
00:56:41Uh-oh!
00:56:42Well, what is for sure through Hellfire and Brimstone,
00:56:46here comes Kane.
00:56:49Trevor Murdoch fashions himself as the Roger Ebert of the WWE.
00:56:55Roger Ebert with Bushy Red Sideburns.
00:56:58Well, he's not gonna do a movie review.
00:57:00He's gonna have a match with the star of See No Evil, Kane himself.
00:57:07And it's hard to believe that Kane was, he says he's in a better mood now.
00:57:13We found out about why he was so sensitive about people talking about May 19th.
00:57:19It's when his family was destroyed in a fire.
00:57:25He said he tried to suppress that his entire life, but it hadn't worked.
00:57:29But one reason, he should be in a pretty good mood.
00:57:32I mean, do you realize that his movie, See No Evil?
00:57:34I mean, with all of the movies like Over the Hedge, Da Vinci Code,
00:57:37Kane See No Evil has the third highest per screen average.
00:57:40Third highest.
00:57:42And over one half a million people saw See No Evil this weekend.
00:57:47My, what a chokeslam.
00:57:49Trevor's not gonna be seeing anything for a while.
00:57:51One, two, three.
00:57:54That's it.
00:57:55Bobby.
00:57:57Here is your winner, Kane.
00:58:01Murdoch looks like a truck robbing skill dropout,
00:58:04just got dropped with a chokeslam by the star of See No Evil.
00:58:08I don't think Trevor Murdoch is gonna be singing Tom Hanks' praises anymore.
00:58:13Uh-oh.
00:58:14By the way, I saw Da Vinci Code too.
00:58:16I've seen better film on TV.
00:58:17I don't understand it.
00:58:19Uh-oh.
00:58:20Well, can you understand this?
00:58:22I'm afraid Trevor Murdoch may.
00:58:24Came up.
00:58:27Chokeslam with tremendous authority.
00:58:34I think Trevor Murdoch just saw all the evil that he will ever wanna see again.
00:58:39Well, he may think he's in Hollywood because I can guarantee he's seeing stars right now.
00:58:44But now listen to this.
00:58:46Brown Channing one more time.
00:58:48I don't think Trevor Murdoch could stand one more time.
00:58:51Well, I think we're about to find out.
00:58:54Oh!
00:58:55Three thunderous chokeslams.
00:59:01Hold your hat.
00:59:03No!
00:59:06Ow!
00:59:09Man, that match lasts about as long as Paris Hilton and Matt Leiter's relationship.
00:59:16Kane was...
00:59:17I'll be smiling now, Kane.
00:59:20But the world, the weight of the world has been lifted off his shoulders.
00:59:24You thought it was over on May 19th, Kane.
00:59:27Kane, this, this is the beginning.
00:59:30The beginning.
00:59:31This will never be over.
00:59:51Wow!
00:59:54And we are back.
00:59:55And this beautiful lady fits right in here with all the other beauties here in Los Angeles.
01:00:00Oh my man!
01:00:01Puppies!
01:00:05The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:00:08Introducing first, from Boise, Idaho, Tory, what was that?
01:00:13Oh, JR.
01:00:14I need a moment real, man.
01:00:16You think she's real bad?
01:00:17Don't look at me.
01:00:18No, I'm just looking at Tory Wilson.
01:00:24Wow.
01:00:26I love them.
01:00:28I love them.
01:00:29Listen to me, don't wanna know.
01:00:31Just say your name and love them.
01:00:36And making the way to the ring for Richmond, Virginia!
01:00:39She's the WWE Women's Champion, Mickie James!
01:00:45She's a little unbalanced, just Mickie James, she makes Tawny Katane look sane.
01:00:50You told me earlier, King, I just want revenge, is that so wrong?
01:00:57Mickie won the Women's Championship at WrestleMania over her idol at the time,
01:01:03and Patricia Stratis.
01:01:05That relationship, like many of ours, King has gone south.
01:01:11Chad Patton involved in that controversial decision earlier,
01:01:15involving Shelton Benjamin and Rob Van Dam,
01:01:17a signless contest, a non-title match.
01:01:21And you're talking about controversial, can you imagine that Rob Van Dam has challenged
01:01:27John Cena with that Money in the Bank contract to have the match at the ECW
01:01:32One Night Stand pay-per-view?
01:01:35Please, that's controversial.
01:01:37Maybe we haven't heard the last of them at least.
01:01:40Rob Van Dam is gonna be more comfortable in an ECW ring than apparently he is in
01:01:45a WWE ring, and that event's already sold out in New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom.
01:01:51These girls are going at it, or I'd love to see this.
01:01:55Whoa, nice athleticism by Tori Wilson, the cradle.
01:02:00Tori looking for the upset here.
01:02:01Wow, nice close line takedown, and Tori Wilson with a drop kick.
01:02:06Tori Wilson's in-ring skills are getting better and better all the time,
01:02:11swinging neck breaker.
01:02:12That was a nice thing done.
01:02:13There he was.
01:02:15Near fall.
01:02:16You know, maybe Mickie James is getting better.
01:02:18She told me earlier, she realized you cannot make somebody love you.
01:02:21All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.
01:02:25She didn't know that.
01:02:27Ouch.
01:02:29And Mickie going for a hot shot, kind of got a little low there, still effective.
01:02:33And now the sledgehammer blows to the spine, and Mickie mounts a trick,
01:02:38mounts a Tori.
01:02:39Not that beautiful face.
01:02:41Tori trying to cover up.
01:02:43Tori at one time- Wait a minute, we almost had a wardrobe malfunction.
01:02:46Tori certainly a very popular centerfold in Playboy magazine once upon a time,
01:02:53went that long ago.
01:02:54Yes, it was.
01:02:55And this may not bode well for Tori Wilson.
01:02:59No.
01:03:01No.
01:03:02A DDT.
01:03:04A brutal DDT.
01:03:06Indeed.
01:03:07A brutal DDT.
01:03:10And here is your winner, Mickie James.
01:03:14Mickie is a very, I think she might be bipolar.
01:03:18I don't know, when I went up there, she said, allow me to introduce myself.
01:03:23Uh-oh.
01:03:24Wait a minute.
01:03:26See how I'm saying, Vince is about to pick up, say it.
01:03:28If Vince is about to pick up, and there's the former women's champion, arm in a sling,
01:03:33thanks to Mickie.
01:03:41You don't have to worry about Beth Phoenix illegally attacking you anymore.
01:03:45No.
01:03:47She can do it legally now.
01:03:49Allow me to introduce Raw's newest diva, your old friend, and my new friend, Beth Phoenix.
01:03:59Whoa.
01:04:00Her name is Beth Phoenix.
01:04:02We heard Beth last week.
01:04:04Where is she?
01:04:06Where is she?
01:04:06Mickie's certainly not too happy, but-
01:04:08Where is she, Mr. Q?
01:04:13Wait a minute.
01:04:15Wait a minute.
01:04:16He's right.
01:04:17Beth Phoenix.
01:04:18Beth Phoenix is still the women's champion, Mickie James.
01:04:22And I don't know what Mickie James has done to Beth Phoenix.
01:04:26Look out.
01:04:27Mickie James trying to run away.
01:04:29I better try to pull him apart.
01:04:30You better sit right here.
01:04:32You better sit right here.
01:04:33Uh-oh.
01:04:34Look out.
01:04:35Mickie and Ben bump over the rail, and there they go.
01:04:39And the race is on.
01:04:43The race is on.
01:04:44The first orchestra in this situation.
01:04:47I have no earthly idea what Mickie James has done to Beth Phoenix.
01:04:51I don't know, but this is two weeks in a row that Trisha's got one up on Mickie James.
01:04:55Well tonight, Shawn Michaels got a try to get one up on five.
01:05:00A five on one handicap match.

01:09:54as big this nobody as big as big this has ever ever been in a ring well
01:10:02they're not in a ring now but they're fighting each other exchanging those right hands
01:10:11they're six
01:10:13oh
01:10:14there's stories
01:10:15don't have a limit
01:10:15it won't affect anybody that's got a heartbeat
01:10:20500 pounds to the ringpost
01:10:23i hear those shots
01:10:25those big overhand shots
01:10:28of umaga this is not an official match
01:10:33This is the beginnings of a huge ass with him.
01:10:38And I mean that literally and figuratively.
01:10:40The back of Big Vince's head rammed into that steel ring post.
01:10:44Now look out.
01:10:45Gotta look out here.
01:10:48Man, it's 350, maybe 400 pounds.
01:10:51Umaga who is still undefeated here in the WWE showing that athleticism for
01:10:57a corner more.
01:10:59Over there just shouting instructions, look at that.
01:11:03The shoulder block.
01:11:04Like a missile.
01:11:05And that just took this off his feet as if this was a cruiserweight.
01:11:11Samoa.
01:11:14Samoa.
01:11:17Look out, that Samoa spike.
01:11:21And the spike, the huge tape bum right into the throat of Viscera.
01:11:27The Samoan Superman is absolutely, from what we have seen, unstoppable.
01:11:35The man that destroyed Nature Boy Rip Claire.
01:11:42Well, he's just destroyed what could have been one of the finer moments in the life of Viscera.
01:11:50And the emotional moment for Viscera ruined, and then the physicality by Umaga.
01:12:02Yeah, you're talking trauma.
01:12:03Right now, Big Viscera knows trauma.
01:12:13That was a big night.
01:12:15What's the night?
01:12:16That is the night.
01:12:16The night's the night.
01:12:17Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:12:19Hey, look who it is.
01:12:20What's up there, buddy?
01:12:21You know, Mr. McMahon told us to tell you that your job tonight is to stand right here,
01:12:29watch the match, and when Mr. McMahon gives you the signal, you come down there and you
01:12:36end HBK once in front.
01:12:39So are you guys ready?
01:12:41Ready.
01:12:42Ready.
01:12:43End of HBK on three.
01:12:46Ready.
01:12:53Whatever.
01:12:55One, two, three.
01:12:57End of HBK.
01:12:58Yeah.
01:12:59Here we go.
01:13:00Let's go.
01:13:03Can Shawn Michaels survive?
01:13:05Sledgehammer, Spirit Squad.
01:13:07We'll find out next.
01:13:10On June 11th, pay-per-view goes to the extreme.
01:13:15ACW one night stand.
01:13:17One night of no halt barred.
01:13:19Depthifying.
01:13:20High flying.
01:13:21In your face extreme.
01:13:23Don't miss Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Dam.
01:13:25The Crippler, Chris Benoit.
01:13:28And the return of the Lord of the Hardcore's Terry Funk.
01:13:30When they go old school for one night only.
01:13:34ECW one night stand.
01:13:36Live Sunday, June 11th.
01:13:37Only on pay-per-view.
01:13:41Kenny.
01:13:43Johnny.
01:13:43Nick.
01:13:44Nicky.
01:13:45Mikey.
01:13:46And we are the Spirit Squad.
01:13:51And they are a five man combination that are the world tag team champions.
01:13:58These five are as annoying as Joan Rivers on the red carpet.
01:14:02They're as annoying as ECW.
01:14:07This is a five on one handicap match scheduled for one fall.
01:14:12Introducing first, the world tag team champions, the Spirit Squad.
01:14:19All five members of the Spirit Squad will be in the ring.
01:14:22The face Shawn Michaels, you say, well, that's not fair.
01:14:25That's not the sportster like, but that's a match made by the chairman of the WWE,
01:14:31Mr. McMahon, who is still looking to rob Shawn Michaels of his spirit and
01:14:38destroy Michaels' legacy.
01:14:40Come on, Shawn.
01:14:41He's scared of us.
01:14:43He's scared of us.
01:14:44He's scared of us.
01:14:47He's scared of us.
01:14:48He's scared of us.
01:14:50He's scared of us.
01:14:53He's a big victory.
01:14:57And making his way to the ring from San Antonio, Texas, the heartbreak kid.
01:15:05Shawn Nichtron.
01:15:07King, you know, I have to say this, I do't want to jinx Shawn Michaels, but this can't
01:15:12be the last time we see Shawn Michaels wrestling in this ring.
01:15:16Well, I would say that Shawn Michaels has about the worst odds of anybody
01:15:22that's in the city of Las Vegas tonight.
01:15:25And look at the five fingers of the Spirit Squad pointing to Michael's arm
01:15:29with a steel folding chair.
01:15:32Hang on a second here.
01:15:33Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:15:41Before this match officially gets underway,
01:15:46let me relieve the referee of his duties.
01:15:51Ref, there's no reason for you to be in the ring.
01:15:54We're not going to have a referee in there.
01:15:56Get the hell out.
01:15:57And take that chair with you.
01:16:00What referee?
01:16:01How do you determine the winner if there's no referee?
01:16:04Who's going to count the ball?
01:16:06Get him!
01:16:07Look at this.
01:16:08It looks like a pack of dogs.
01:16:10It's like a pack of hungry wild dogs.
01:16:13The Spirit Squad.
01:16:14Five-one on one on Shawn Michaels, all because Mr. McMahon has been maniacally
01:16:21obsessed in ending Michaels' professional career.
01:16:25And Shawn Michaels fighting valiantly, but the numbers were just against him.
01:16:29There's not even a referee in the ring to try to keep things even.
01:16:32If this were happening outside the arena, there'd be five people arrested for a monkey.
01:16:38Watch this now.
01:16:39One, two, three.
01:16:42My God!
01:16:43Look at the elevation in the high spirit.
01:16:47Shawn Michaels is being, we see Shawn Michaels overcome so much.
01:16:53Back injuries.
01:16:55Watch this.
01:16:55Look at how high Shawn's body is thrown in the air.
01:16:58And some hang time and landing on that lower back kind of sideways.
01:17:03And Michaels, who was out of the WWE for, gosh, for years with a bad back.
01:17:10Look at these guys.
01:17:12Spirit Squad members just taking turns.
01:17:14Literally just jumping with all their weight right on Shawn's chest.
01:17:17Are you ready?
01:17:21Kenny and Johnny and Nikki and Nike and Mitch and Goofy and Dopey and Sleepy.
01:17:28Come on.
01:17:30Hey, they're great young athletes.
01:17:32I can't deny that.
01:17:34That's a great move.
01:17:35But there's five men on one.
01:17:38That's what's appalling.
01:17:40Yes, they're talented, are the Spirit Squad.
01:17:43And yes, they deserve to be here on Monday Night Raw.
01:17:48The five against one.
01:17:49How many times are they gonna do this?
01:17:51And Kenny, the 20 year old, trying to break Shawn's ribs.
01:17:56Michaels can't even stand Michaels back down.
01:18:00Michaels being all stretched out here.
01:18:02Again.
01:18:04That was Mitch.
01:18:07Michaels ribs, his insides being busted apart.
01:18:12Mitch with a leg drop, Mr. McMahon loves this.
01:18:15And you know what?
01:18:16Sadly, all we're seeing here is basically the softening up.
01:18:21No referee.
01:18:22No referee by order of Mr. McMahon, who obviously wants to gild Shawn Michaels of his self-respect,
01:18:30of his dignity, because Michaels has changed his life for the battle.
01:18:35And Mr. McMahon is just biding his time, he's watching this decimation here.
01:18:40And then, whenever Mr. McMahon thinks the time is right, he gets the signal and
01:18:44command Triple H to come down here with a sledgehammer.
01:18:48Can you believe that this obsession with Mr. McMahon wanting to ruin Shawn Michaels' life,
01:18:53spiritually, emotionally, physically, began in December of last year?
01:19:00That's Mikey.
01:19:04Got it!
01:19:05Michael's absolutely defenseless.
01:19:07He can't defend himself.
01:19:09He tried to use a steel chair.
01:19:12He was unarmed by the referee and Mr. McMahon.
01:19:16And how much more can one human being take?
01:19:19Michaels is a human being.
01:19:21He is a phenomenal wrestler.
01:19:23He has been for years.
01:19:25I saw his very first match.
01:19:27And I think I may be seeing his very last match.
01:19:30That's right, because no matter how phenomenal, sensational you are,
01:19:34five-on-one is just too much to overcome.
01:19:37Look at this now.
01:19:40The five cheerleaders.
01:19:42And Mr. McMahon purely impressed.
01:19:45I'm sure he is.
01:19:46This is it!
01:19:47This is it!
01:19:48This is it!
01:19:49He seems to love the Spirit Squad.
01:19:54Well, they have great energy, there's no doubt about that.
01:19:57They're young, their greatest days are ahead of them.
01:19:59They kiss the serious butt, too.
01:20:01Yeah, they can.
01:20:02They're already the World Tag Team Champions.
01:20:06Any two of the combination.
01:20:07Well, they got a metal chair in the ring.
01:20:09And no referee to disqualify them.
01:20:14Michaels tied back.
01:20:16There's something left.
01:20:17Wait, look at that!
01:20:18My God!
01:20:19My goodness!
01:20:21Right on that trampoline.
01:20:23And Michaels now, beginning to see some daylight.
01:20:28I don't know if that was Kenny Mitch or Mike, but somebody went head first into the floor.
01:20:33Michaels got the steel chair.
01:20:40Michaels with a steel chair, has the Spirit Squad on the ropes.
01:20:45Mikey up!
01:20:47And a tremendous scoop slam by Shawn Michaels.
01:20:50Where is Shawn Michaels getting this energy from, JR?
01:20:53It's his, it's gotta be his heart.
01:20:55It's his soul.
01:20:57His heart and soul are good.
01:21:01He's a competitor.
01:21:03He knows what he's up against.
01:21:05And Michaels with the elbow, driven into the sternum.
01:21:08Do you realize that we had a referee in here?
01:21:12We could be witnessing Shawn Michaels defeating all five members of the Spirit Squad.
01:21:17Michaels driving that elbow into Mikey.
01:21:20And the Spirit Squad has been dismantled, at least for now.
01:21:26And these fans, here in Las Vegas, wanna hear the fan tune up.
01:21:30How in God's name, is Michaels gonna survive this 5-1-2 attack?
01:21:35I think he's answered that question that we asked earlier tonight.
01:21:39Sweep-cham.
01:21:42Sweep-cham music.
01:21:46No, no, no, the leg.
01:21:49How the hell do you like that?
01:21:52Nikki just used a steel chair to maybe destroy the knee of Shawn Michaels.
01:21:58And listen to this collision.
01:22:00This may have broken Shawn's leg.
01:22:03A steel on bone.
01:22:05Steel on bone.
01:22:07Steel wins.
01:22:08We've done that to you.
01:22:08Do us for it.
01:22:10Look at this.
01:22:12Gripping Michaels attires, his ring attire, exposing that knee.
01:22:19Michaels has had knee issues.
01:22:21He's documented those over his career.
01:22:23And now, the Spirit Squad is trying to cripple Shawn Michaels.
01:22:27Can Mr. McMahon find comfort and joy in this?
01:22:31He's got a smile on his face.
01:22:34Michael's left knee is being tortured hideously.
01:22:42If this match did have a referee, if he had any heart or any guts,
01:22:48he would have stopped this match.
01:22:49But we don't have a referee.
01:22:54And now the Spirit Squad taking that knee brace that Michaels needs so desperately.
01:23:01And that exposed left knee of Michaels that has had numerous surgeries.
01:23:09This is nothing but human torture.
01:23:14Somebody needs to tell Mr. McMahon, this is enough.
01:23:19This is getting disgusting.
01:23:22The Spirit Squad, not here to win, just here to win.
01:23:27And we've seen this before.
01:23:28This could break Michaels leg.
01:23:31He could snap.
01:23:32You might wanna turn your head, folks.
01:23:34They're trying to cripple Shawn Michaels here.
01:23:36I'm telling you, you might wanna turn your head away from this.
01:23:41No, don't do it.
01:23:42Damn it, don't do it.
01:23:48If Michaels leg isn't broken, he's a recipient of a miracle.
01:23:55That is one of the most deadly-
01:23:57Triple H get down here and finish the job.
01:24:04Crush Michael's skull.
01:24:08How in God's name can Mr. McMahon sleep at night?
01:24:14Issuing an order for Triple H to take that sledgehammer to the ring
01:24:20and bash Michaels skull in.
01:24:23If Michaels' career isn't over, it's about to be.
01:24:29This is awful.
01:24:33I cannot believe- We don't need a referee.
01:24:35We need some medical help already.
01:24:38I cannot believe on this night, on May the 22nd in Las Vegas, Nevada,
01:24:45we have seen the end of Shawn Michaels' wrestling career.
01:24:49Well, it certainly looks as if that's what we're going to be witnessing.
01:24:52Michaels again helpless.
01:24:55Hey, hey!
01:25:02Michael's career is staying.
01:25:04Triple H just told Michaels it's over.
01:25:07Kenny imploring Triple H to hit Michaels in the skull if you can believe it.
01:25:17I'll do it.
01:25:19I will do it.
01:25:21Kenny coming in and yanked that sledgehammer right under the hand of Triple H and
01:25:25said he'll do it.
01:25:28Kenny with that sledgehammer unarming the game.
01:25:32And again stepping in front of Kenny.
01:25:34I don't think the game left that unarming the technique.
01:25:41That's the game signature.
01:25:46Look out.
01:25:47Sign Buster.
01:25:49I think Kenny was gonna nail the game.
01:25:52Well, but he wasn't, well, he wasn't.
01:25:54Kenny got nailed himself.
01:25:55Look out.
01:25:56The rest of the spirit spot are suffering the wrath of the game.
01:26:01Triple H is kicking some serious ass.
01:26:08The game was commanded to kick that Max Michaels' brains in.
01:26:17And he's still made.
01:26:21The pedigree.
01:26:23The pedigree.
01:26:24Look on Mr. McMahon's face.
01:26:26He can't believe his eyes.
01:26:29Michaels is rising and paying cripples.
01:26:33Look at the carnage here.
01:26:35This is certainly not what Mr. McMahon wanted.
01:26:37The key is part about dying terror.
01:26:39It's all about pain.
01:26:40Who's gonna make it.
01:26:42I am the game.
01:26:43You know, you can't see me.
