00:00:30He does.

00:00:30Here comes Eddie.

00:00:31Here we go.

00:00:32Back down to half.

00:00:33The WWE Champion unloading.

00:00:35Eddie is on fire.

00:00:36Like a house on fire.

00:00:38Oh, look at him.

00:00:39Latino Higgs.

00:00:40Amazing.

00:00:41Has come to play tonight.

00:01:06As the general manager of SmackDown, I'm faced with difficult decisions each and every day.

00:01:13I'm responsible for the safety and well-being of each and every one of the SmackDown stars.

00:01:19And after what happened to Eddie Guerrero last week, I was forced to make a hard decision.

00:01:26I've decided that Eddie Guerrero will be here tonight.

00:01:31And Eddie Guerrero will be in action right here tonight.

00:01:37Eddie, as the WWE Champion, you've got a responsibility to me and your fans.

00:01:47But as your boss, I have a responsibility to you as well.

00:01:52So I've arranged for EMTs to be present for your entire match.

00:01:57That way, Eddie, when you collapse, I mean, if you collapse, you could be taken to the hospital again.

00:02:16It's been a long time.

00:02:18Come on.

00:02:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:02:22Come on.

00:02:25Yeah.

00:02:28It was my life, my time, my rights, my rhymes.

00:02:32My prime, my struggle, hustle, sweat, and my blood, too.

00:02:35I'm praying that smells fear.

00:02:37It's not a lie.

00:02:38My competitors flex here.

00:02:39When they snuck, I was hot.

00:02:41I want it all.

00:02:42Excess.

00:02:43The sex is much success.

00:02:45Stress us.

00:02:46I want it all.

00:02:46No less.

00:02:47Come on.

00:03:04On orders of General Manager Kurt Angle,

00:03:07WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero will compete tonight, despite his physical condition.

00:03:13Welcome to SmackDown Tonight at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.

00:03:16I'm Michael Cole, alongside Taz at ringside.

00:03:19Well, Cole, it's been over four years since we've last seen a Lumberjack match on SmackDown.

00:03:25Well, that changes tonight.

00:03:27John Cena defends us United States Championship against Rene Dupree in a Lumberjack match, and

00:03:32that is tonight.

00:03:33Yeah, over 20 superstars built around the ring tonight, no count outs, no disqualification.

00:03:41And we're kicking things along with Mr. Thursday Night.

00:03:49This tag team contest is scheduled for one fall approaching the ring from Battle Creek, Michigan.

00:03:56Wearing in at 230 pounds, Rob Van Damme.

00:04:03SmackDown fans on their feet of Milwaukee for Rob Van Damme as we renew what has become a classic rivalry

00:04:09here on SmackDown.

00:04:11Rob Van Damme and Rey Mysterio with the W Boys.

00:04:14Well, speaking of the devil, he's worth a miss, Kyle.

00:04:19And his partner from San Diego, California, winning 175 pounds, Rey Mysterio.

00:04:30I'll tell you, Mysterio and Rob Van Damme, they make a hell of a tag team because it's hard to

00:04:34combat the unorthodox offense.

00:04:36Well, that's a good point, Cole.

00:04:38Both athletes, Mysterio and Van Damme, very similar styles in there with the high-flying daredevil tactics.

00:04:45Not afraid to take a risk, neither of these two men.

00:04:49But Mysterio and Van Damme are gonna have their hands full tonight.

00:05:00And from New York City, at a combined weight of 543 pounds,

00:05:07Rob Van Damme, The Dudley Boy.

00:05:11The Dudleys are confident.

00:05:12They're confident.

00:05:13The Dudleys are cocky.

00:05:15The Dudleys are beating each other up.

00:05:16They're trash talking.

00:05:18They're into your face.

00:05:19They have that tape rope prisoner's attitude.

00:05:21The Dudley boys have been in a different zone over the past few weeks.

00:05:26A zone is the right word, I believe, Cole.

00:05:28Bubba Ray and D-Von have re-famped these Dudley boys.

00:05:32And at times we cheat for Dudley.

00:05:34Also, in single competition, he even changed with Dudley.

00:05:37And that's not the case here.

00:05:39All four of these superstars were in the ring last week

00:05:42as part of that six-man tag team match-up

00:05:44in which Eddie Guerrero collapsed

00:05:46because of that massive amount of blood loss that he suffered at Judgment Day.

00:05:51And Eddie Guerrero will be a part of SmackDown tonight

00:05:55on orders of General Manager Kurt Angle.

00:05:56Well, what about the concussion that Eddie suffered also?

00:05:59And what's the condition of Eddie gonna be tonight, though?

00:06:01I mean, thanks to Kurt Angle, there will be EMT's presence.

00:06:05That's Kurt, Mr. Angle, General Manager pointed out at the top of the show.

00:06:10Rob Van Damme, the crowd here chanting for RBD.

00:06:15As this match-up gets underway, Mysterio and Bubba Ray Dudley kick things off.

00:06:19Yeah, big, big size difference here, obviously.

00:06:23Bubba Ray, I'm sorry, just outweighed Mysterio

00:06:26and got a lot of height on him, too.

00:06:28But Ray's not impressed.

00:06:30Not impressed at all as he listens to D-Von trash-talking him.

00:06:34I think that was Bubba trash-talking him.

00:06:36Mixed them up, too.

00:06:39Come on!

00:06:41Let's do it, let's do it, guys.

00:06:42Here we go, let's see what we got.

00:06:44Ray's not backing down, though.

00:06:47Ray's saying, hold on.

00:06:50Hey, Mysterio.

00:06:52It looks like Ray-

00:06:56He took Bubba Ray Dudley in, Mysterio.

00:07:00And now working on that left arm of Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:07:03That hurts, though, when someone stomps on your butt.

00:07:05You think?

00:07:06Especially Ray, he's got, like, springs in the neck.

00:07:08He jumps around.

00:07:09He's, you know, high-fly and all that.

00:07:10That Lucha Libre style of Ray Mysterio.

00:07:13He's got a special feat, I'm sure, under his shoes, maybe.

00:07:15I don't know.

00:07:15Well, you know, Ray Mysterio's actually been wrestling since he was six years old in Tijuana, Mexico.

00:07:21Really?

00:07:22It's impressive.

00:07:22There you go, Ray.

00:07:23Just to be in Tijuana at six is impressive.

00:07:26Look at this, though.

00:07:27Look out.

00:07:29Mysterio.

00:07:30Oh, there you go.

00:07:34And Ray Mysterio locked up now.

00:07:36Center of the ring.

00:07:37Bubba Ray Dudley-

00:07:38God, Ray!

00:07:38Oh, my God.

00:07:39And a Beal to Mysterio, halfway across the ring.

00:07:43That Beal with a capital B for Bubba.

00:07:46Wow.

00:07:46What a Beal.

00:07:48That's again, when you've got the power over it, guys, who can do that to him?

00:07:51You know what I'm saying?

00:07:51Trying to wear Ray Mysterio down, working on that left arm of Ray Mysterio as we take another look at

00:07:56this deal.

00:07:57The power right there, and the force that Ray's body hit the mat, now this arm bar here by Bubba

00:08:03Ray.

00:08:05Working on the arm, the left arm of Ray Mysterio.

00:08:07Come on, Ray!

00:08:08These superstars will be a part of the Lumberjacks later on tonight.

00:08:11We've seen a degree getting on for the United States Championship.

00:08:13We'll be over 20, over 20 SmackDown superstars will be surrounded in the ring.

00:08:17No place to run, no place to hide.

00:08:19We've seen it on the, on the tree.

00:08:22Look at this!

00:08:22Mysterio all dragged on the top rope.

00:08:24Bubba Ray Dudley reeling, comes into the forearm from Rob Van Dam, and then the spinning heel kick.

00:08:29Here's the cover, here we go.

00:08:30Mysterio hooks the leg, and Bubba Ray Dudley rolls the show around.

00:08:33Bubba was in a daze, went to the wrong corner.

00:08:35Now, Bubba, in the correct corner, and the legal tag by his brother, Diva.

00:08:41And Rob Van Dam tags in as well for his team.

00:08:44And Rob Van Dam, to say the least, has a major score to center with these Dudley boys.

00:08:51Yes, he does.

00:08:52And Van Dam just right here exemplifying the proverbial educated feat that Van Dam possesses.

00:08:58Lock up with Rob Van Dam.

00:09:00There's a big knee to the midsection, and then a clubbing blow to the back of the neck of Rob

00:09:04Van Dam.

00:09:04Nice side headlock applied by the very powerful Devon Dudley.

00:09:09Got that thing locked in tight now.

00:09:11Looks like Van Dam going for a top wrist lock here.

00:09:14Rob Van Dam calls himself Mr. Thursday Night.

00:09:17So excited to be on SmackDown ever since coming over from Raw in that draft lottery a couple of months

00:09:22ago.

00:09:23Yeah, I like him on Thursday Night as opposed to Monday.

00:09:26Rob Van Dam whipped into the corner by Devon Dudley.

00:09:28Nobody hold elbow to the side of the face.

00:09:31Yeah, no, elbow was home.

00:09:31Went for the kick.

00:09:33Whoa.

00:09:33Missed underneath.

00:09:33Look at that.

00:09:34Beautiful scissors.

00:09:35Beautiful scissors.

00:09:35Damn shoulders down, kick out.

00:09:36And as you pointed out to your credit, the unorthodox style with that scissor pin and that kick and that

00:09:41standing moonsault.

00:09:42Here's the hook for the leg again.

00:09:44Shoulders down.

00:09:44Devon kicks out before the count of three.

00:09:46It's Rob Van Dam.

00:09:47We see it week in and week out.

00:09:49Tremendous athlete.

00:09:50I mean, the man is amazing in there.

00:09:53The flexibility is phenomenal.

00:09:55Here comes Rey, legal tag was made.

00:09:57Drop kick, thrust kick actually off the top rope.

00:10:00I thought he was tagged in.

00:10:01I thought he was tagged in as well.

00:10:02Well, actually he was.

00:10:03Rey Mysterio, look at this.

00:10:04Gonna set up Devon for the, thought he was going for the seated senton, actually the leg scissors.

00:10:09He was, Devon caught him, but then Mysterio counted out of it.

00:10:12Rey Mysterio, shoulder to the gut of Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:10:15Good way to stop Bubba to end the corner.

00:10:16Mysterio.

00:10:17Look at this!

00:10:22And now Bubba Ray, kick to the midsection.

00:10:25Uh-oh.

00:10:25And Rey Mysterio in all kinds of trouble.

00:10:27Look at the power.

00:10:28Look at those fighting out of it.

00:10:29Laces by Mysterio and the Hurricanrana.

00:10:32And now Mysterio, kick to the back of Devon Dudley.

00:10:36You know what time it is called.

00:10:38What the, what the?

00:10:40Wait for the 619 and Bubba, I believe, came from out of nowhere and clipped Mysterio at the knee.

00:10:45That's the benefit when you've competed against a team before you know Mysterio has been

00:10:50pulled in style.

00:10:51What, what?

00:10:52Bubba Ray and Devon are calling for it.

00:10:54Look.

00:10:55What the hell?

00:10:57Look at it.

00:10:59Is that Paul Heyman?

00:11:00What is Paul Heyman?

00:11:02What the hell is Heyman doing here?

00:11:03Paul Heyman, we haven't seen him in several weeks.

00:11:06Well, I'm telling you, Cole, he's not just here to watch.

00:11:08This guy's not a formal fan.

00:11:10Heyman's up to no good.

00:11:15We're back on SmackDown.

00:11:16The Dudley boys in control of Mysterio and Rob Van Dam.

00:11:18But breaking news right before it went to break.

00:11:21Look at that.

00:11:21That man, Paul Heyman, who is not a part of SmackDown, obviously must be here as a fan,

00:11:26has taken a seat in the front row to watch this matchup.

00:11:30And what brings Heyman to Milwaukee tonight?

00:11:32I have no idea, but I know Heyman very well.

00:11:35And I'm telling you, he's probably got bad intentions on his mind.

00:11:39Well, remember it was Paul Heyman who a few weeks back actually took the Dudley boys into the ring and

00:11:44unleashed,

00:11:45untamed, the Dudley boys challenged the Dudleys to make headlines here on SmackDown.

00:11:50Well, I personally don't have a problem with that.

00:11:52If you could be motivated by somebody, in the past I've been motivated by Heyman.

00:11:56You know what, I've drink the Kool-Aid, no problem.

00:11:58But the Dudleys, they're drinking gallons of it now again.

00:12:00Well, the Dudleys really made an impact.

00:12:02Remember, it was Devon who beat Eddie Guerrero in a non-title matchup.

00:12:06That's true, a good point.

00:12:08Right now, Mysterio getting 300 pounds dropped on his chest or an elbow by Bubba.

00:12:13The Dudleys are doing what they do so well.

00:12:15They are isolating the smaller man, Rey Mysterio, from his partner, his corner, Rob Van Dam.

00:12:20Bubba Ray's a bully.

00:12:21I mean, I'm telling you, he's a straight up bully, and it's a good strategy.

00:12:24It works, like it or not.

00:12:26He's proud of Milwaukee trying to will Rey Mysterio on.

00:12:30Mysterio up over the top, wait for the sunset clip.

00:12:32Watch out, watch out.

00:12:32Bubba Ray doesn't even know what he hops up in the 20-point if Mysterio can capitalize.

00:12:37It would've been Columbia Blues splattered all over that ring.

00:12:39Mysterio just an arm's length away, but couldn't make the tag to RVD.

00:12:43See, that's what Bubba does.

00:12:44He puts it in your face when he outsmarts you there.

00:12:48Now what you doing, Bubba?

00:12:48You got a single leg forced to grab, it looks like.

00:12:51Really torque in the knee, torque in the back of Rey Mysterio,

00:12:53referee Nick Patrick in perfect position.

00:12:55And in the past, Rey Mysterio has had knee trouble.

00:13:00Illegal leverage advantage.

00:13:02Yes, it is, but the referee doesn't see it though.

00:13:04Nick Patrick with RVD, and the Dudleys taking advantage again.

00:13:06Effective, use the leverage, use the leverage, and it just caught the knee.

00:13:10It is, and here's Devon in on the tag.

00:13:13And this is why the Dudley boys are 17-time tag team champions.

00:13:17Again, and see Bubba utilizing that five count to get out of the ring.

00:13:21I mean, people don't like those tactics, but they work.

00:13:24And now batten to a modified leg bar here by Devon working on that knee of Mysterio.

00:13:29You know the Dudley boys extremely well.

00:13:31What is the best way to combat this super team?

00:13:34Well, it's tough.

00:13:35You gotta try and isolate one of the Dudleys if you can.

00:13:37I mean, Bubba's the more emotional Dudley, the more vocal Dudley.

00:13:41But that man right there, Devon, he's devious.

00:13:43I'll tell you what, Devon's been pretty emotional since Paul Heyman lit a fire under his butt

00:13:47to use the old cliche a couple of weeks back.

00:13:51And a shot right to the knee of Mysterio Insegurri to the back of the head.

00:13:56Mysterio could capitalize here.

00:13:58Yeah, Devon got blasted with all of that Insegurri.

00:14:02But the question is, Cole, can Mysterio get to Rob Van Damme?

00:14:05Mysterio really working on one leg here, battling back on his knees.

00:14:10The right hands to Devon Dudley.

00:14:12Devon right now getting robbed, but hell, Devon coming back.

00:14:15Right hand, boom, another right hand.

00:14:16And when you take out the knee of Mysterio, you take out that high-flying tactics.

00:14:20Well, that's what it is.

00:14:20Look at that.

00:14:21Great balance, bad knee at all.

00:14:23So must look here.

00:14:24Ian Wright.

00:14:25Springboard moves on Paul Heyman.

00:14:27I don't know.

00:14:28He kind of looked like he liked that move.

00:14:29That was weird.

00:14:30I don't know what the hell Heyman is doing here.

00:14:32But it cannot be good, I'll tell you that.

00:14:34Well, I know.

00:14:35There's no way it could be good.

00:14:36Devon Dudley trying to drag his way to the corner.

00:14:38And look at how Devon makes the tag and still keeps Mysterio away from Van Damme.

00:14:44But as Devon made the tag, he had that leg bar on and allowing his partner Bubba to drop the

00:14:50elbow.

00:14:50And the isolation of Rey Mysterio continues.

00:14:53Look at that.

00:14:54The confidence, that's what see Bubba now.

00:14:56He's cocky.

00:14:57Devon, they're cocky and confident.

00:14:59And when they have that, man, it's tough to stop Bubba and Devon.

00:15:01If you're 17-time Tag Team Champions not for nothing, I guess you can be cocky in a way.

00:15:05I'm sure you can.

00:15:06Why not?

00:15:07Here's the double team Mysterio across the ring.

00:15:10Now what's this?

00:15:11Here's a slingshot.

00:15:13Devon, that's a heel kick to the face.

00:15:15Beautiful jump, a spin kick by Mysterio grabbing his knee.

00:15:18Mysterio's gotta make the tag here.

00:15:20He desperately has to make the tag.

00:15:22But Mysterio is working on one leg.

00:15:25And Heyman was nodding in.

00:15:26He obviously had a ticket in his pocket, it looked like.

00:15:28A ticket?

00:15:29I don't think he bought a ticket, did he?

00:15:31And here's the tag.

00:15:32And here comes Van Damme.

00:15:33Bubba was trying to stop Rey.

00:15:34It didn't work but here comes Rob Van Damme now.

00:15:36And Rob Van Damme is all fired up with clotheslines and elbows to the Dudley boys.

00:15:40Rob Van Damme with the right hand.

00:15:41Devon knocked down.

00:15:42And Rob Van Damme unloading on Devon Dudley.

00:15:45Oh, no.

00:15:46Thanks first.

00:15:48What a kick.

00:15:48Did you see the extension?

00:15:50I heard the extension.

00:15:51And a kick right to the face.

00:15:53Rob Van Damme feeling good now.

00:15:55Top rope.

00:15:57RVD.

00:15:58What's he gonna do?

00:15:59He's gonna fly.

00:16:00Step to the skull.

00:16:02What a shot.

00:16:03Here's the cover.

00:16:03He got it.

00:16:04Hook of the leg.

00:16:05There's two and Bubba Ray saved the matchup for his team.

00:16:07Tremendous save by Bubba to save Devon there.

00:16:11Devon was on his way to getting beat by Van Damme.

00:16:15Bubba Ray Dudley knocked out of the ring.

00:16:16Rob Van Damme, forearm to Devon Dudley.

00:16:21Rob Van Damme, look out.

00:16:23Devon in.

00:16:24There's the bridge off the suplex.

00:16:25He just rolled the shoulder down.

00:16:29Beautiful bridge there off that Northern Lights suplex by Rob Van Damme.

00:16:32You don't see RVD use the suplex much, but that was effective.

00:16:34Once in a while, but he's got a great flexibility in his spine.

00:16:38That's why he's got that great bridge.

00:16:40Tag was made.

00:16:41Rey Mysterio, the legal man.

00:16:42Rey's directing traffic for a moment then.

00:16:44What's up with this?

00:16:45Rob Van Damme.

00:16:46Rob Van Damme.

00:16:48Man, here's the cover.

00:16:50Could be a hatchet.

00:16:51Hook to the leg.

00:16:51There's one.

00:16:52There's two.

00:16:53Bubba Ray totally breaks up it.

00:16:55Another pinfall again.

00:16:57Well, referee Nick Patrick might wanna contemplate disqualifying somebody here.

00:17:02I mean, his body's everywhere in the ring.

00:17:04Using RVD.

00:17:05Man.

00:17:06Springboard.

00:17:07Mysterio takes out Bubba Ray.

00:17:09There's a kick to the back of the head.

00:17:11Bubba Ray knocked out of the ring.

00:17:12Uh-oh.

00:17:13Devon's in trouble now, both Van Damme and Mysterio.

00:17:15But referee doing a good job getting Van Damme out of the ring.

00:17:18Mysterio whipped into the corner.

00:17:19There's a boot to the face of Devon Dudley.

00:17:21Rey Mysterio second.

00:17:22No!

00:17:22Kick to the spine.

00:17:24Well, he didn't get it before Mysterio, but he's going for that 619 now.

00:17:29This time the ball goes through.

00:17:32Devon's in trouble, Cole.

00:17:34Wait a minute.

00:17:35What the heck?

00:17:36What the hell?

00:17:37What's he doing?

00:17:38No idea.

00:17:39And now Bubba Ray Dudley popping Mysterio off the announce table.

00:17:44RVD taking out Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:17:46What the hell is Heyman doing here?

00:17:47Paul Heyman just threw Mysterio back into the ring.

00:17:50He doesn't belong over to God, right?

00:17:52He belongs in the crowd.

00:17:53Here's the cover by Devon.

00:17:55Two to the leg.

00:17:56Dudley steal one.

00:17:58And damn Paul Heyman just crossed Mysterio and RVD.

00:18:03Get him out of here, security.

00:18:04Get him out of here.

00:18:11I don't care if he knows Vince McMahon.

00:18:13I don't care who the hell he knows.

00:18:15He has no record to feel.

00:18:16He doesn't even work for SmackDown.

00:18:17You got to form out in the building, but

00:18:19Devon's grabbing a hold of Paul and Bubba.

00:18:23What the hell?

00:18:24It honestly looks like Paul was here to support the Dudleys?

00:18:30Yeah.

00:18:30Heyman was here to support the Dudleys, and the Dudleys pick up the victory

00:18:34thanks to Paul Heyman as we take another look.

00:18:37Yeah, out of nowhere.

00:18:38Ray going here.

00:18:39Let's take a drop that died by Paul Heyman.

00:18:42Dumping that guard rail, that security rush was just going in.

00:18:46Bubba, like a long guard goes Mysterio.

00:18:50And then Heyman throwing Mysterio into Devon and picks up the victory.

00:18:53The bottom line is this.

00:18:54If Paul Heyman came here as a fan, if he bought a ticket, he should be thrown out.

00:18:58He should be arrested.

00:19:00I don't disagree with that, Paul.

00:19:01You're right.

00:19:02You're right.

00:19:03This is ridiculous.

00:19:05Well, ladies and gentlemen, here on SmackDown, this was the fight we've seen at

00:19:11the end of SmackDown last week.

00:19:12The WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero blacking out, passing out in the ring,

00:19:17repercussions of massive blood loss at Judgment Day.

00:19:20Coming up next, we'll look back at what happened to the injured champion last week.

00:19:28Well, that's a victory.

00:19:29That's a SmackDown.

00:19:30That's the way we beat him up.

00:19:31Oh, yeah.

00:19:32Oh, yeah.

00:19:32That's the way we do it.

00:19:33Yes.

00:19:34Oh, yeah.

00:19:35That feels good to win.

00:19:36Definitely.

00:19:37Hey.

00:19:38Yo.

00:19:44Hey.

00:19:47He's with us.

00:19:48Back off.

00:19:49Come on there, Paulie.

00:19:50Come on.

00:19:50He's with us, I said.

00:19:51You're fascist.

00:19:54What's going on?

00:19:55Did you see that?

00:19:56Did you see that?

00:19:57They didn't rough you up or anything, did they?

00:19:58No.

00:19:59Are you okay?

00:19:59Hey, are you not okay?

00:20:00You won the match.

00:20:01Yeah, I'm right, I did.

00:20:02You won the match.

00:20:04Are you happy?

00:20:04I'm happy.

00:20:05Are you happy?

00:20:05I'm happy.

00:20:06I'm happy.

00:20:06You should be happy.

00:20:08What the?

00:20:09What the?

00:20:10What are you doing?

00:20:13What are you doing?

00:20:15I'm saving your life.

00:20:16That's what I'm doing, Paulie.

00:20:17What the?

00:20:18And I'm trying to give you your life.

00:20:21I'm trying to give you back your life.

00:20:23What are you talking about?

00:20:25Years of this crap, what are you talking about?

00:20:27You won a match?

00:20:29Yes.

00:20:29And you're happy?

00:20:30What should we be?

00:20:31We've been winning matches for eight years.

00:20:34You guys beat Eddie Guerrero.

00:20:35Did your main event in the pay-per-view?

00:20:37Did you?

00:20:38Huh?

00:20:38Did it get you a title shot against Eddie Guerrero?

00:20:40Did it?

00:20:41Enough!

00:20:42Pulling up!

00:20:43Bradshaw got the main event.

00:20:44You're gonna get the main event?

00:20:46What happened, Bubba?

00:20:47What happened?

00:20:48So you won a match?

00:20:49What does that mean?

00:20:50Where's the impact, Bubba?

00:20:51Where's the headlines?

00:20:53Bradshaw Layfield gets the headlines.

00:20:56What do the Dudleys get?

00:20:57Nothing.

00:20:58The same thing you've gotten for eight years.

00:21:00Your name's in the victory column.

00:21:03And what has that done for you, Bubba?

00:21:05What has that done for your family?

00:21:07How much money do you make?

00:21:08Shut up, Paulie!

00:21:09Shut up, Paulie!

00:21:10How much money do you make in the main event?

00:21:12You don't know.

00:21:13Because you're not the main event anymore.

00:21:15Because you don't make the impact, do you?

00:21:17We make impact!

00:21:18Let me give you some news.

00:21:20Do you think you're the only people in this locker room I talk to?

00:21:24Tonight, you pick a victim and you make an impact.

00:21:27Even if that victim has to be me, or I'll find somebody to make that impact on you.

00:21:36Hey, Bubba, call that bluff.

00:21:46Well, if I was a Batman, I'd say Heyman's a dead man.

00:21:51Ladies and gentlemen, I've just been informed by General Manager Mr. Angle that the number one contender for the WWE

00:22:00Championship at the Great American Bash is my guest at this time.

00:22:04Ladies and gentlemen, John Bradshaw Layfield.

00:22:11Well, that's big news right there.

00:22:14Number one contender, JBL.

00:22:18He had an opportunity for the WWE Championship against Eddie Guerrero.

00:22:27Well, come to think of it, JBL's probably entitled to it.

00:22:33He did win that last match at Judgment Day.

00:22:36He just didn't win the title.

00:22:37And speaking of Judgment Day, the match at the Great American Bash standing light at the physicality of brutality.

00:22:44Full contact mayhem.

00:22:47Who knows what we're going to see come the Great American Bash.

00:22:52There he is, John Bradshaw Layfield.

00:22:58Born and bred Texan transplanted in New York City.

00:23:05Plays the stock market.

00:23:07Made a lot of money.

00:23:09Close the door there, folks.

00:23:13I tell you, I love that limo.

00:23:15Love it with those.

00:23:16A long white limo with the Texas Longhorns on it.

00:23:19KBL.

00:23:22Put that smile on, that confident, successful man.

00:23:52Mr. Layfield, before we get to the interview, I'd like to remind the fans, take them back to what transpired

00:23:58last week between you and the WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero.

00:24:02First at Judgment Day in the WWE title match, and then on SmackDown last week in the six-man tag

00:24:09team matchup.

00:24:10All right, let's take a look.

00:24:15.

00:24:16.

00:24:17.

00:24:18.

00:24:19.

00:24:22.

00:24:23.

00:24:26.

00:24:26You're getting a lot out of me on Judgment Day, Holmes.

00:24:33You didn't take my WWE Championship at the front door.

00:24:43Rey Mysterio from the second half.

00:24:45Oh, Bubba, Rey Dudley taken out off the bulldog.

00:24:48Can Mysterio get to Eddie Guerrero?

00:24:51Scratch up.

00:24:52Tell him Bubba's going to tag as well.

00:24:54Tell him Bubba, stop him.

00:24:54Can Mysterio get there?

00:24:55He does.

00:24:56Here's Eddie.

00:24:57Here we go.

00:24:58Down the hatchet, Eddie.

00:24:59The WWE Champion unloading.

00:25:01Eddie is on fire.

00:25:02Like a hell of a fire.

00:25:04Oh, look at him.

00:25:04But Pino Higgs, amazing, has come to play tonight.

00:25:08Wait.

00:25:50It's not about winning and losing right now, it's about that man's health, Eddie Guerrero.

00:25:54What's going on? What happened? I have no idea. I've never seen Eddie like this.

00:26:05Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

00:26:16Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie,

00:26:24Eddie, Eddie.

00:26:24Mr. Layfield, considering the severity of Eddie Guerrero's medical condition, many people that I've spoken with

00:26:33over the past week were appalled at your actions.

00:26:37The fact of the matter that you tagged yourself into the matchup, that you covered Eddie Guerrero,

00:26:44and then you forced the referee to count the one, two, three.

00:26:49And as I stand in the ring here tonight, I need to ask you this question.

00:26:53After seeing that, what kind of a man are you?

00:27:12Don't you ever question my manhood, Michael Cole.

00:27:16I will slap you in the next week.

00:27:36I'll tell you what kind of man I am.

00:27:42I'm a businessman.

00:27:44A smart, very rich businessman.

00:27:51I see an opportunity.

00:27:54I seize that opportunity.

00:27:57That's how I have made a fortune on Wall Street.

00:28:02I see things most people don't.

00:28:08That is why CNBC loves me.

00:28:12That is why my radio show is the buzz of the industry.

00:28:19I hesitated before I pinned Eddie Guerrero

00:28:25because I did not know what Eddie Guerrero was up to.

00:28:30Would I take advantage of an injured man?

00:28:35Hell yeah, and most of you wouldn't.

00:28:39That is what is wrong with America.

00:28:41You are weak.

00:28:43I am not.

00:28:45I am not.

00:28:49There is nothing, and there was nothing, wrong with Eddie Guerrero.

00:28:57He was lying just like his mother lied a few weeks ago at El Paso.

00:29:03This is Guerrero and a heart attack.

00:29:05Eddie Guerrero did not want to take another beating from me

00:29:10like he took at Judgment Day, so he laid there.

00:29:15He laid there like a lying, sliveling coward.

00:29:28What a horrible representative as a WWE champion.

00:29:35He simply did not want another beating, so he laid there

00:29:39and let me pin him, the coward.

00:29:45The beating I gave Eddie Guerrero at Judgment Day

00:29:48has become legendary.

00:29:53Blood was pouring from Eddie Guerrero

00:29:56like water from a faucet.

00:30:00But guess what, Eddie?

00:30:02At the Great American Bash,

00:30:05what I'm going to do to you

00:30:07is going to be damn near criminal.

00:30:12And you know what makes me mad?

00:30:14It's some of you people out here,

00:30:16you're so damn simple-minded.

00:30:18You actually believe.

00:30:20This isn't a sing-along, boys.

00:30:22Sit down.

00:30:25You actually believe.

00:30:31The Eddie Chats getting to Bradshaw.

00:30:37You want to cheer him so bad,

00:30:38you should have sent him a card to his hospital room.

00:30:41Now shut up.

00:30:42I am not finished.

00:30:43When JBL talks, you listen.

00:30:51Some of you people actually believe

00:30:53that Eddie was hurt.

00:30:55Are you stupid or blind?

00:30:59Eddie Guerrero lies.

00:31:02That's what he was born to do.

00:31:05Eddie Guerrero took the WWE title,

00:31:08brought it in the ring at Judgment Day,

00:31:10and hit me with it for one reason,

00:31:13to get disqualified,

00:31:15because I had him beat.

00:31:17Bradshaw brought the title in the ring.

00:31:19I beat Eddie Guerrero.

00:31:22That WWE Championship is mine.

00:31:30Where these games have now ended,

00:31:34Kurt Angle has told me

00:31:36that I,

00:31:37John Bradshaw Layfield,

00:31:39get the name,

00:31:40the stipulation

00:31:41for the match

00:31:42at the Great American Bash.

00:31:44What?

00:31:45So I'm going to take a week,

00:31:46and I'm going to think about

00:31:48how I'm going to beat Eddie.

00:31:50And I promise you this, Eddie,

00:31:53you,

00:31:53nor all your fans,

00:31:55will like what I choose.

00:31:59Because this time,

00:32:00it's my game.

00:32:02It's my rules.

00:32:04Think of the name

00:32:05of the pay-per-view, Eddie.

00:32:07It is the Great American Bash.

00:32:11I will bash you

00:32:13into oblivion,

00:32:15and I will get

00:32:16what is rightfully mine.

00:32:21I will take

00:32:22the WWE Championship

00:32:24home with me

00:32:26to New York City.

00:32:30I'll tell you, Cole,

00:32:32sounds like

00:32:33John Bradshaw Layfield

00:32:35is so confident,

00:32:37and he should be.

00:32:39And he holds all the cards.

00:32:40All the cards.

00:32:41How is that fair

00:32:42that our general manager

00:32:43is going to allow Bradshaw

00:32:44to name the stipulation

00:32:45for the WWE Championship?

00:32:48Magic,

00:32:48the Great American Bash.

00:32:50It's Eddie versus Bradshaw,

00:32:51but like you said,

00:32:52Bradshaw holds the cards.

00:32:53Cole, sometimes life isn't fair.

00:32:55I mean, JBL holds the cards,

00:32:57and that's the bottom line, man.

00:32:58It's not good for Eddie.

00:32:59Well, the bottom line is this.

00:33:01Later on tonight,

00:33:02over 20 superstars

00:33:03will surround the ring

00:34:27The Undertaker

00:34:29And I suggest

00:34:30that he's watching

00:34:31this matchup

00:34:32because next week

00:34:33on SmackDown

00:34:34in Toronto, Canada

00:34:35at the Air Canada Center,

00:34:37Booker T,

00:34:38Undertaker,

00:34:39The Jumps This Day

00:34:41Remax.

00:34:42Colossal,

00:34:42Colossal News there.

00:34:44And I'll tell you,

00:34:44I spoke to the

00:34:45Bookman earlier today

00:34:47and he is geeked up,

00:34:49amped up,

00:34:49he's fired up

00:34:50for this match next week

00:34:52against the Deadman

00:34:53is the Bookman.

00:34:54Well, again,

00:34:54Booker T can't take

00:34:55Scotty too hotty

00:34:56too lightly.

00:34:56Scotty too hotty,

00:34:57former Tag Team Champion

00:34:58here in the WWE.

00:35:00I'll tell you,

00:35:00Booker better not be

00:35:01looking over Scotty.

00:35:02Scotty's a veteran.

00:35:03He can get it done.

00:35:03And Booker T

00:35:04shot to the midsection

00:35:05and a big right hand

00:35:06by Booker T.

00:35:08Tell you,

00:35:09this chip on his shoulder

00:35:10we've been talking

00:35:10about me street

00:35:12by Booker T.

00:35:14He's a five-time

00:35:15WCW Champion.

00:35:16Well, that he is.

00:35:18So he wants to be

00:35:19a WWE Champion.

00:35:20What's wrong with that?

00:35:21Nothing at all,

00:35:22but we're going

00:35:22at it a different way

00:35:23I suspect.

00:35:25Getting an opportunity

00:35:25to get in the ring

00:35:26with The Undertaker

00:35:27next week.

00:35:27That alone,

00:35:28that's so big

00:35:30that it's humongous.

00:35:31But Booker

00:35:33is so excited for this

00:35:34Colossal,

00:35:34he's ready for the Undertaker.

00:35:35I'm telling you,

00:35:36you better not look

00:35:36past Scotty too hotty,

00:35:37but there's a big kick

00:35:38to the face.

00:35:39It almost knocked

00:35:40the head off

00:35:41of Scotty too hotty.

00:35:42I'll tell you,

00:35:42Cole,

00:35:42that kick right there,

00:35:43that would take Undertaker down.

00:35:44It would.

00:35:45Booker T off the ropes

00:35:46and look at this,

00:35:47Booker T.

00:35:47Bam!

00:35:48From the knee

00:35:48to the sternum

00:35:49of Scotty too hotty.

00:35:50Patented Booker T.

00:35:51right there

00:35:52with that knee drop.

00:35:53Hey,

00:35:53I'm impressed.

00:35:54He's not looking past Scotty,

00:35:56not looking over Scotty,

00:35:57which I thought Booker might do

00:35:58when he's not that smart.

00:35:59This is with a big leaping kick.

00:36:01Scotty too hotty takes.

00:36:02Booker T down.

00:36:02There's Scotty

00:36:03fired up.

00:36:05Colossal,

00:36:05fouled by that elbow.

00:36:06Nice and a straight right there.

00:36:08So if Booker T last week

00:36:09take exception to that question

00:36:10by Farnacki

00:36:11whether or not he was scared

00:36:12of the Undertaker.

00:36:13Well.

00:36:15Booker T up over the top

00:36:16of Scotty.

00:36:17What a kick by Scotty.

00:36:19He might have here.

00:36:20He got in the leg.

00:36:21Booker kicked down.

00:36:22Cole, I mean,

00:36:23Ed Judge,

00:36:24they Booker gave The Undertaker

00:36:26a run for his money.

00:36:26He really did.

00:36:27He did, I mean,

00:36:27no doubt about it.

00:36:28Next week,

00:36:29a rare appearance by The Undertaker

00:36:31here on SmackDown.

00:36:31As Scotty comes off.

00:36:33Whoa, heads up.

00:36:35A straight kick

00:36:36to the midsection.

00:36:38Knock the wind right at it.

00:36:39Now, what's Booker got in mind, baby?

00:36:40Feeling good, Bookman.

00:36:42Down kick back to the head.

00:36:44Here's the cover.

00:36:45Hook of the leg.

00:36:46Good bye.

00:36:46Good night, Scotty.

00:36:47Booker T,

00:36:49impressive again.

00:36:56But the team,

00:36:58very impressive here,

00:37:00to the back of the head

00:37:01of Scotty Tuhani.

00:37:06Yo, check it out.

00:37:20And I hope you're listening,

00:37:23because next week,

00:37:40It's gonna be a whole lot different.

00:37:46See, because I'm not afraid of The Undertaker.

00:37:49I'm not scared of all your little power.

00:37:53You see?

00:37:56Next week.

00:37:58Uh-oh.

00:37:59Oh, no.

00:38:00Uh-oh.

00:38:11And the smoke.

00:38:13I'll tell you,

00:38:13this is absolutely...

00:38:14What the hell's going on?

00:38:17Oh, no!

00:38:18What the hell was that?

00:38:19Is that all you got, Undertaker?

00:38:21Oh, jeez!

00:38:24Whoa, man.

00:38:28Oh, my God.

00:38:29It's a little too close.

00:38:30How close?

00:38:31Did you feel the heat?

00:38:32Yeah, yeah.

00:38:32I think my hair stood on end.

00:38:34All right.

00:38:35So you are a little scary.

00:38:37But I tell you what,

00:38:39next week,

00:38:40it's gonna take a whole lot more than lightning

00:38:43and a bunch of noise

00:39:10at all.

00:39:11It remains to be seen,

00:39:13Cole, if Booker T

00:39:13can defeat The Undertaker.

00:39:15But we're gonna find out

00:39:16next week, baby!

00:39:24Wow!

00:39:24Ladies and gentlemen,

00:39:26coming up next,

00:39:27no matter his physical condition,

00:39:29WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero

00:39:31will be in action.

00:39:33Yeah, but is Eddie gonna black out again, Cole?

00:39:35What is his condition?

00:39:36What's gonna happen with Eddie?

00:39:38Eddie Guerrero,

00:39:39the WWE Champion,

00:39:41in action next.

00:39:42And ladies and gentlemen,

00:39:43here at ringside,

00:39:44there is trainer Larry Heck

00:39:45and the EMT

00:39:46coming to ringside

00:39:47on orders of general manager Kurt Angle.

00:39:49Just in case,

00:39:50in Angle's word,

00:39:51we have a repeat of Eddie passing out last week.

00:39:55And now,

00:39:56the WWE Smack of the Night

00:39:58is brought to you by

00:39:59Click It or Ticket

00:40:00National Safety Bill Usage Campaign.

00:40:02What the hell is this?

00:40:07Mordecai!

00:40:07And it's Mordecai!

00:40:09Oh, man!

00:40:10Mordecai! Did you see him?

00:40:11Now he catches a keo in midair

00:40:12and slams a keo in the camera.

00:40:14This guy is powerful!

00:40:16Now what?

00:40:16That's a dangerous individual...

00:40:23My crusade has begun.

00:40:25I hear your voice

00:40:27and it rings in my head

00:40:29like Gideon's horn.

00:40:32You have laid the course before me

00:40:37and you have paved the road of righteousness

00:40:40with sinners.

00:40:44I know your will for me.

00:40:49I will punish them.

00:40:51I will make them pay for their sins with blood.

00:40:56And I will purge their flesh with pain.

00:41:01For I have already chosen

00:41:05my first sinner to fall at my hand.

00:41:10My crusade has just begun.

00:41:17My crusade has just begun.

00:41:20Oh, in the words of Mordecai, the time of wrecking.

00:41:23Yeah, but it's upon us.

00:41:25But who's the first sinner?

00:41:26I have no idea.

00:41:28Well, nonetheless, here come the Basham.

00:41:30Danny ready for action.

00:41:33The following contest is scheduled for one fall being accompanied by Doug Basham

00:41:38from Columbus, Ohio weighing in at 245 pounds, Danny Basham.

00:41:46Well, Danny sent to me an Eddie Guerrero, the WWE Champion.

00:41:48You see the EMTs here at ringside by orders of our general manager Kurt Angle.

00:41:52So we don't have a repeat of last week of Eddie Guerrero passing out, blacking out

00:41:57in the middle of the ring.

00:41:58That's not normal here on SmackDown or Raw, where you see EMTs at Arcana at ringside

00:42:04going to the vent.

00:42:08We are not hot!

00:42:15And from El Paso, Texas, weighing in at 228 pounds,

00:42:21is the WWE Champion,

00:42:26Eddie Guerrero!

00:42:29Eddie Guerrero riding in style, the one rider,

00:42:33as Eddie seemingly in good spirits here tonight.

00:42:37You know, Eddie Guerrero was in good spirits last week too, Paul.

00:42:40But so what happened, Eddie Guerrero,

00:42:41he went in the ring, it was a house of fire on the Dudleys,

00:42:45and then he collapsed, he blacked out.

00:42:47But nonetheless, it was because of that massive blood loss

00:42:50that Eddie Guerrero suffered in the battle against Radshaw

00:42:53on the fight at Judgment Day.

00:42:54You can still see Eddie's forehead there,

00:42:56that humongous wound on his head.

00:42:58But it was a galleon effort by Eddie Guerrero

00:43:00just to come out to the ring last week.

00:43:02And if you want to see that the heart and the soul of Eddie Guerrero...

00:43:07What about the UPN special last night about Eddie Guerrero?

00:43:12Cheating death, stealing life, an inspirational, a heart-wrenching...

00:43:16I mean, at cons, I had tears in my eyes,

00:43:18watching the life story of this great WWE Champion.

00:43:22I know Eddie Guerrero for many, many years,

00:43:24and I watched that and didn't know all that stuff on Eddie.

00:43:27It was a great special on Eddie.

00:43:28But right now, this is the picture here.

00:43:29Yeah, Eddie Guerrero glancing at the trainers, the ENTs,

00:43:33and you know what's going through Eddie's mind.

00:43:34If I know Eddie Guerrero, he's bowing to himself

00:43:37that he's not gonna be carried out on that stretcher tonight.

00:43:40I don't, I'll tell you what, I don't think Eddie wants these guys here.

00:43:45Hey, here are my orders of the Jett, the manager.

00:43:47And you're right, Eddie Guerrero doesn't want the ENTs.

00:43:50Look at that stretcher here.

00:43:54And he's the champion, Eddie has a match.

00:43:56I don't need you, I don't need that.

00:43:59What do you think I'm gonna need you for that, huh?

00:44:02You think so?

00:44:07You see the trainer telling Eddie I'm just doing my job here.

00:44:11Well, they don't call him Latino Heat for nothing.

00:44:13Eddie's got a temper, and you know what, man, it's just, I don't blame Eddie there.

00:44:17He got a match.

00:44:18And Eddie Guerrero, look at Eddie, Latino Heat fired up.

00:44:21Eddie Guerrero with the right hands to Danny Basham.

00:44:23It's a handicap match.

00:44:24Well, it's supposed to be a one-on-one matchup.

00:44:26And Eddie looking good.

00:44:27And look, there goes Doug up over the top rope.

00:44:30Let's see if Eddie can go through this whole matchup here.

00:44:33Again, he looked good last week.

00:44:35Wait a minute.

00:44:35Look at this.

00:44:38Mr. Engel.

00:44:42What is the general attitude doing out here?

00:44:47Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:44:52Nice try, Eddie.

00:44:55I almost fell into your trap.

00:44:58But I was just tipped off, and I know what you're up to.

00:45:02You see, I just realized that I'm not only responsible for your safety and well-being.

00:45:10I'm also legally responsible.

00:45:14And I know what you're going to do tonight.

00:45:17You're going to take on Danny Basham.

00:45:20And then you're going to fake another injury and then sue me.

00:45:27Well, I'm not going to allow you to do that to me or to this show.

00:45:32You're not going to wrestle tonight or any other night.

00:45:36In fact, you will not wrestle again until you sign a hold harmless release,

00:45:44which clears me of any liability should you get injured in the ring again.

00:45:50Now get the hell out of my ring.

00:45:53Eddie Guerrero upset at the treatment by the general manager.

00:45:56Hey, look at Danny Basham.

00:45:57Oh, potato heat with the right hands.

00:46:01Eddie Guerrero.

00:46:03And there goes Basham over the top rope.

00:46:06You can see in Eddie's eyes.

00:46:12I can guarantee you this.

00:46:14June 27th, the Great American Bash in Norfolk, Virginia.

00:46:18Eddie Guerrero is scheduled to fight to defend the WWE Championship against Doc Bradshaw Lowfield.

00:46:24And Bradshaw chooses a stipulation.

00:46:25Eddie's ready.

00:46:26Eddie wants to fight.

00:46:27You can see the net man's eyes.

00:46:29He wants to go.

00:46:31Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, a mixed tag team matchup.

00:46:35Spike and Tori meet Jamie Noble and Dawn Marie.

00:46:39Mixed tag team action up next on SmackDown.

00:46:42Oh, Billy.

00:46:46Next week in Toronto, Taz, we are getting ready for the Summer Breakout Bikini Contest.

00:46:52Look who's back.

00:46:53I can't let you finish talking.

00:46:55Sable's back.

00:46:56That's huge.

00:46:57Jackie, Miss Jackie, Dormary, Tori, and Sable's back.

00:47:00The return of Sable.

00:47:01Next week on SmackDown, the Summer Breakout Bikini Contest.

00:47:05That's great.

00:47:05Can't wait.

00:47:06I'll tell you.

00:47:07Toronto's shaping up to be one hell of a show.

00:47:09Undertaker for the team.

00:47:10Bikini Contest.

00:47:12Tracks on a stipulation for the Great American Bad.

00:47:15SmackDown, baby.

00:47:16Smack your TV.

00:47:17She's following is a mixed tag team match single-4-1 fall.

00:47:22Tricks in first, making her way to the ring.

00:47:26Tori Wilson.

00:47:27Great reaction for the Playboy Covergirl.

00:47:30Tori Wilson set for this mixed tag team matchup.

00:47:33And here comes her partner.

00:47:34And her partner.

00:47:36Weighing in at 150 pounds.

00:47:39Nice.

00:47:40Don't play.

00:47:41Mixed tag team matchup.

00:47:42That's men versus the men.

00:47:44Women versus women.

00:47:45That's basically the rules.

00:47:47That's mixed tag team match.

00:47:49Check.

00:47:52Making his way to the ring from a hand over West Virginia.

00:47:55Weighing in at 200 pounds.

00:47:58Jamie Noble.

00:48:00Jamie Noble is set to compete as well.

00:48:02This is going to be an interesting mixed tag matchup.

00:48:05Hey, you got a...

00:48:06You got a big, uh, you know, four-dition type of matchup.

00:48:10And his starter, Dawn Marie.

00:48:13Again, ladies and gentlemen, SmackDown comes to the air.

00:48:16Canada Center Toronto next week.

00:48:18Undertaker versus Booker T.

00:48:20A rare appearance to The Undertaker.

00:48:21Yep.

00:48:21Brad Shaw names the stipulation for the championship match of the Great American Bash.

00:48:25And the Bikini Contest.

00:48:28Dawn Marie and Tori will be in it.

00:48:30And also going to turn Sable.

00:48:31Yes, Sable.

00:48:33Sable will be there.

00:48:34Did I say Sable will be there?

00:48:35Yeah, you said it.

00:48:35About 19 times.

00:48:36I'm gonna make sure I said it.

00:48:37I can't wait either.

00:48:39I'm telling you.

00:48:39I can't wait.

00:48:40This is gonna be good stuff here.

00:48:41So it's Jamie Noble, Spike Dudley.

00:48:42I would have rather seen the young ladies stop the match.

00:48:44I would have respected Noble and Spike.

00:48:46So Noble and Spike kicking things off.

00:48:48Spike Dudley, of course, part of that triple threat matchup.

00:48:50Nice.

00:48:50We saw a new Cruiserweight Champion crowned last week on SmackDown.

00:48:54Chavo Classic, who will be in action later on tonight?

00:48:57Yes, yes.

00:48:57What'd you say, by the way?

00:48:59Chavo Classic is in action.

00:49:01He's the new Cruiserweight Champion.

00:49:02Already?

00:49:03Wait, say that again.

00:49:04He's in action.

00:49:05He's in action tonight defending the title.

00:49:07I'll tell you what.

00:49:07He is the champion.

00:49:08He's a fighting champion.

00:49:10I, I, I...

00:49:13Some people can't believe that Classic, Chavo Classic, is the champion.

00:49:17He is the champion.

00:49:18It's shocking.

00:49:18It happened last week.

00:49:19And we said it last week.

00:49:20It's not Ripley's, believe it or not.

00:49:21It's the WWE.

00:49:23And on SmackDown, anything can happen.

00:49:25Yes.

00:49:25Yes, it can.

00:49:26And right now, a lot of things are happening to Spike's arm at the hands of Jamie Noble.

00:49:31I can't believe earlier on, General Manager Kurt Angle saying that Eddie Guerrero was gonna,

00:49:37was gonna sue him and sue the company if he got hurt in action.

00:49:41Eddie Guerrero did not come out here to sue tonight.

00:49:43Eddie Guerrero came out to fight.

00:49:45I agree, Cole.

00:49:45No, that's not Eddie, Eddie's MO.

00:49:47Here's the cover by Noble, shoulders down and a kick out.

00:49:49Eddie's not the type to go sue anybody.

00:49:50Whoa, you can't do that, Noble.

00:49:52Men versus men, women versus women.

00:49:54That's the next tag team matchup rules.

00:49:55Sometimes Jamie gets confused.

00:49:57But you've heard Kurt Angle say that Eddie Guerrero has to sign a hold harmless release

00:50:02in order to compete again here in the WWE.

00:50:04And look at Noble.

00:50:06Misses on the right hand.

00:50:07Oh!

00:50:07Dunley through those shoulders to the midsection.

00:50:09There's the drop kick.

00:50:10Knocking Jamie Noble's hand.

00:50:11That torpedo, headbutt to the gun, and now this here.

00:50:14Here's the Spike Dunley stomping on your chest.

00:50:17Okay, we'll take one of the defense in.

00:50:19There we go.

00:50:20Now we're picking it up here a little bit.

00:50:22Well, what's Jamie Noble gonna do?

00:50:23Tag Dawn.

00:50:24And...

00:50:25Well, Dawn Noble's gonna face Spike.

00:50:27She doesn't have to under the rules of the match.

00:50:29Noble's gonna break Dawn Marie in, which means that Spike needs to tag Tori Wilson, and he died.

00:50:35Well, he did, and right now I love Spike.

00:50:37Well, we all know the history of Dawn Marie.

00:50:39Very jealous of Tori Wilson and all the Playboy pictorials.

00:50:43In fact, I mean, Dawn Marie was married to Tori's father.

00:50:45Yeah, remember Al?

00:50:46Yeah.

00:50:47Rest in peace.

00:50:48And there's Tori.

00:50:49Look at this big clothesline.

00:50:50Knocking Dawn Marie down.

00:50:51And you remember Judgment Day, Tori Wilson had to defeat Dawn Marie.

00:50:55Here's the cover hook to the leg.

00:50:56And Dawn Marie kicks out.

00:50:57Remember Judgment Day?

00:50:59Tori Wilson had to defeat Dawn Marie just to keep her job here.

00:51:02Kurt Angle wanted Tori Wilson out.

00:51:05Oh!

00:51:05Noble with a knee to the back.

00:51:07Well placed in her spot.

00:51:09Jamie Noble.

00:51:10Come on!

00:51:11Jamie Noble.

00:51:12Come on!

00:51:13Jamie Noble.

00:51:14Yeah, exactly.

00:51:16That's why Spike is running after Noble there.

00:51:20And look at Dawn Marie really taking it to Tori Wilson.

00:51:23Oh, perfect opportunity for Dawn Marie now to dominate Dawn.

00:51:27Oh, I'm sorry, Tori.

00:51:28And she is.

00:51:28Oh, confused.

00:51:29Blowns, brunettes, pink, black.

00:51:31I get all nuts.

00:51:31Yeah, wait till the bikini contest next week.

00:51:33Yeah, I know.

00:51:34And Dawn Marie, face first.

00:51:36And Dawn Marie goes to put this on the road.

00:51:38She got it!

00:51:39She got it!

00:51:39Tori Wilson just rolled her shoulder out.

00:51:41Oh, a little lackadaisical cover there by Dawn.

00:51:44You might see the repeat of that cover, but...

00:51:46A repeat?

00:51:48It's the first day of my knee tongue.

00:51:49It's numb when I watch this by night.

00:51:51I get a little numb and tingling.

00:51:52I get silly.

00:51:54The Milwaukee crowd standing for Tori Wilson.

00:51:56Here on SmackDown, mixed tag team action.

00:52:00Tori desperately trying to get out of this predicament.

00:52:02She's a big jawbreaker.

00:52:03One way to break that rear choke that Dawn Marie had on, Tori.

00:52:08Nice forearm right across the face.

00:52:10Dawn Marie really taking it to Tori.

00:52:13She's a tough jersey girl.

00:52:14She can get it done in there, Dawn.

00:52:16Looking Tori Wilson.

00:52:17Yes!

00:52:18And Tori trying to make it to the corner.

00:52:20Can she make it to Spike Dudley?

00:52:21Well, if she can't Spike, then that means Dawn's gonna tag Noble,

00:52:24but...

00:52:25Dawn Marie preventing Tori from making it to the corner

00:52:27and making it to Spike Dudley.

00:52:29Yeah, Dawn Marie's got control here.

00:52:30Can she keep her away from Spike?

00:52:33Maybe not.

00:52:34And here's the tags.

00:52:35Here comes Spike, and here comes Jamie Noble.

00:52:37Spike Dudley ducks underneath the clothesline.

00:52:39Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:52:40Scissors, Jamie Noble.

00:52:42Took the wrong head scissors there.

00:52:43Look at that!

00:52:44Inverted atomic drop by Spike.

00:52:45Follows it up on the clothesline.

00:52:47Here's the cover.

00:52:48Look at him!

00:52:48And Jamie Noble kicks out.

00:52:50Nice series of moves there by Spike Dudley.

00:52:52Now Spike climbing to the top open, it looks like.

00:52:54And Jamie Noble up there as well.

00:52:56Knocked down.

00:52:57Spike Dudley.

00:52:58Oh, I don't like this!

00:52:59To the gun!

00:53:01Here's the cover again.

00:53:02Bye!

00:53:03Like Dawn Marie.

00:53:04Played instinct there by Dawn.

00:53:06And Spike didn't like that too much.

00:53:07But wait, you're not supposed to hit the guys, but...

00:53:09Yeah, but Dawn Marie came in and interfered.

00:53:11Why not be the first time that a chick actually touched Spike?

00:53:14And look at Spike was attacked from behind by Jamie Noble.

00:53:18And Jamie Noble taking advantage as Spike Dudley was going after Dawn,

00:53:22at least it appeared that way.

00:53:23And Spike...

00:53:24Look at Dawn Marie from behind!

00:53:25He's feisty.

00:53:26Dawn Marie deserves what she's gonna get.

00:53:29God!

00:53:31And Tori...

00:53:32And Tori...

00:53:32And gone!

00:53:33TD team.

00:53:35Dawn Marie might be knocked out.

00:53:36No!

00:53:37Wait a minute!

00:53:38You've gotta take your hands off her!

00:53:40Are you kidding?

00:53:40That's against the rules of the match.

00:53:42And Spike Dudley kicked for the midsection.

00:53:44Spike went for the Dudley Dog, Jamie Noble countered.

00:53:46And Tori...

00:53:55And Tori wins!

00:53:59Here are your winners, Tori Wilson and Spike Dudley!

00:54:04Don't quite know how they did it, but Spike Dudley and Tori Wilson...

00:54:08Look at that!

00:54:09Spike got a kiss!

00:54:10Spike gets all the girls!

00:54:11Guys, look at how excited he is!

00:54:12I'd love to change great places with him!

00:54:14Ladies and gentlemen, still to come tonight!

00:54:17For the first time in four years on SmackDown,

00:54:1920 Shipper stars surround the ring!

00:54:22It is a Lumberjack match!

00:54:23Cena versus Dupree for the United States Championship tonight!

00:54:33Out of the ashes emerges a new spirit.

00:54:39Forged from the fires of defeat.

00:54:42A bronze warrior.

00:54:44Fueled by hate.

00:54:47Guided by destiny.

00:54:49His mission, vengeance.

00:54:53He is...

00:54:55Kenzo Suzuki!

00:54:56I am thezentmihsuzuki.

00:54:58I'm thezentmihsuzuki, but...

00:55:01Suzuki is the same!

00:55:01I am thezentmihsuzuki!

00:55:02You will never win!

00:55:02I am thezentmihsuzuki!

00:55:05I am thezentmihsuzuki!

00:55:09You will be thezentmihsuzuki!

00:55:16I am thezentmihsuzuki!

00:55:19The Lumberjack match!

00:55:23John Cena vs. Rene Dupree with the United States Championship on the line.

00:55:2820 superstars will surround the ring tonight.

00:55:32Well, Subway presents the Great American Bash.

00:55:35The Great American Bash is a SmackDown production.

00:55:37It comes to you live Sunday, June 27th from the Stope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.

00:55:43Exclusively on Payton U.

00:55:44It's what to eat when you want to eat fresh.

00:55:47Subway, eat fresh.

00:55:49Summer is almost around the corner,

00:55:50and I'm telling you, next week is going to be off the hook.

00:55:53That's right, with the Summer Breakout Bikini Contest.

00:55:57That's right, and I'm telling you, every SmackDown diva is going to be smoking.

00:56:01Speaking of smoking, you should see what I have Miss Jackie wearing.

00:56:04Our Miss Jackie?

00:56:05Yep.

00:56:06Man, she is hot.

00:56:08She is tremendous.

00:56:09Oh, man.

00:56:11Jack, you almost ready yet?

00:56:13Hang on a sec.

00:56:14I just have one more string to tie.

00:56:17Come on.

00:56:18One more string?

00:56:19Tie that string.

00:56:20Okay, I'm ready.

00:56:22She's ready.

00:56:25Whoa, now that looks nice.

00:56:32So, what do you boys think?

00:56:40I think we got ourselves a winner.

00:56:43Yeah?

00:56:44Really?

00:56:44Well, it's fabulous, but the color's not quite you.

00:56:51No?

00:56:51We need to accent the positive over here, a little less skin over here, a little more skin there.

00:56:58Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:56:58What are you talking about?

00:57:00She looks beautiful.

00:57:02Well, it's good, but it's not great.

00:57:05You've lost your mind.

00:57:07You know that?

00:57:07You really have.

00:57:08One second, Charles.

00:57:10Miss Jackie, why don't you go try on the other one?

00:57:13The other one?

00:57:14The other one.

00:57:16All right.

00:57:16I'll be right back.

00:57:19Did you see the other one?

00:57:20The other one.

00:57:22The other one.

00:57:24What, Charles?

00:57:26Charles?

00:57:29What did I tell you about doing that?

00:57:31Well, if you liked that one, you're going to love this one.

00:57:39Rico.

00:57:41Oh.

00:57:43So, what do you think, Charles?

00:57:45Is it me or what?

00:57:49No.

00:57:50It's not you at all.

00:57:52That color isn't you.

00:57:54It doesn't complement the complexion of your skin.

00:57:57You know better than that, Rico.

00:57:59What's wrong with you?

00:58:01Well, what am I going to do?

00:58:03You need to go try the other one on.

00:58:06The other one?

00:58:07Yeah.

00:58:08Excellent point, Charles.

00:58:15What am I doing?

00:58:17What am I doing?

00:58:25The champ is here!

00:58:32The champ is here!

00:58:34How dare you go over my head, Cena?

00:58:37Oh, Lumpy.

00:58:38Take it easy.

00:58:39It's kind of hard not to go over your head nowadays.

00:58:41You like a little...

00:58:42Do you know what this is?

00:58:43A letter from the Board of Directors.

00:58:45Oh, you've got that.

00:58:46Word up.

00:58:47Apparently, you've been to see them, haven't you?

00:58:49Damn, Skippy, bro.

00:58:50I had to bomb.

00:58:51You know, where...

00:58:51You pitched them an idea for the Great American Bash.

00:58:54Of course I did, man.

00:58:55I'm doing big things.

00:58:55Then all the branches of the military, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines,

00:58:59the National Guard, and the Coast Guard get the pay-per-view for free?

00:59:02Bada-boom, baby!

00:59:04Now we got it!

00:59:05Well, apparently, the Board of Directors approved it.

00:59:08Then, why wouldn't they?

00:59:09You know, that's...

00:59:09That's gangster.

00:59:10You know, the point is, you stole my thunder, Cena.

00:59:14I was going to present this very same idea next week.

00:59:17Whoa, whoa!

00:59:18Penalty flag on the field!

00:59:20All right.

00:59:22Illegal use of the mouth.

00:59:24Kurt Angle.

00:59:25You know what?

00:59:26It's all fun and games with you, isn't it, Cena?

00:59:28You think you're funny.

00:59:30It's all fun and games.

00:59:32You know what?

00:59:33I'm almost tempted to have you escorted out of the arena right now.

00:59:36What if I jump you over here?

00:59:37You're damn right.

00:59:38But you know something, Cena?

00:59:39I'm not going to let you get off that easy.

00:59:43You know, when I look at you, you make me sick.

00:59:47You're nothing but a vulgar degenerate.

00:59:50A man that has no respect for authority.

00:59:53And yet, you're a U.S. champion.

00:59:57You know, I've been waiting months for you to lose that title.

01:00:02In fact, it was my idea for this Lumberjack match tonight.

01:00:05All right.

01:00:06And when it's all over, I'm going to be proud that a Frenchman becomes a U.S. champion.

01:00:11Well, you can't see me, but I can't wait to see the look on your face when I beat Rene

01:00:19Dupree tonight.

01:00:22Oh, Cena, you'll see my face tonight because Luther and I will be ringside for your match.

01:00:30Your run for the U.S. title is over.

01:00:50Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

01:00:52What is wrong with you?

01:00:53What?

01:00:54Don't you knock on the door of the champion?

01:00:56Champion?

01:00:58What?

01:01:04Dad, your first title of defense is on next.

01:01:07Are you ready?

01:01:09Dad!

01:01:11Oh, hey, son.

01:01:12Hey, son.

01:01:12Am I ready?

01:01:13Of course I'm ready.

01:01:14Your father's always ready.

01:01:16But tonight I have an idea.

01:01:18What?

01:01:18Instead of you going to the ring with me, why don't you go first so you can introduce me as

01:01:23the big champion that I am.

01:01:25Well, you want me to go out and introduce you.

01:01:27That's right, because tonight the Cruiserweight division is going old school.

01:01:35Old school?

01:01:36What?

01:01:38We're going old school next.

01:01:43And now, the WWE Slam of the Week is brought to you by Subway.

01:01:48It's what to eat when you want to eat fresh.

01:01:50Subway, eat fresh.

01:01:52Triple threat, that jump, Cruiserweight title.

01:01:54Spike Dudley against Chavo Guerrero.

01:01:58Spike, knock it, Chavo Plastic down.

01:02:00Chavo fell in the side down.

01:02:00And it's the referee's count.

01:02:01What the hell, what the play?

01:02:02Chavo Plastic doesn't even know it.

01:02:04It's the champion.

01:02:05I don't believe this.

01:02:10As requested, Chavo's in the ring, ready to introduce his dad on SmackDown.

01:02:17I can't believe that I actually have to do this.

01:02:23No one was as upset, as shocked as I was when my father won the Cruiserweight title last week.

01:02:36At first, I was really upset.

01:02:39But I've had a little time to think about it.

01:02:43And if I can't be the Cruiserweight champion, well then, at least it stayed in the family.

01:02:52So I want all of you to get up off of your seats and let's hear a nice, warm round

01:03:03of applause for the greatest dad in the world, the new WWE Cruiserweight champion, Chavo Plastic.

01:03:16What a relationship, D. Look at that robe.

01:03:19Oh, man.

01:03:20Oh, it's classic, baby.

01:03:22Did you see the sign on his locker room door?

01:03:24Yeah, that's an old-school robe, baby.

01:03:27He said, Chavo Plastic said, we're going old-school tonight.

01:03:30Who's awake to Vicious going old-school?

01:03:34I think I got the same robe for my whole town.

01:03:38I'm just impressed that Chavo Plastic is out here defending his title.

01:03:42One week removed, for me to say, from being champion.

01:03:47I'm just taking over the fact that Chavo Plastic, when he won the title last week, he didn't even realize

01:03:52it was what he won.

01:03:53Well, hey.

01:03:53He ran around like he had just, it was unbelievable.

01:03:56Oh, there's the disrobing.

01:03:58And there's the championship.

01:04:00Well, there was the championship around, a waste of the last Chavo Plastic.

01:04:05What you got here?

01:04:06Let's see.

01:04:10Oh, it's Akio.

01:04:12Huh?

01:04:13I'll tell you, this seems to me like it may well be a hand-picked opponent,

01:04:18because last week, Akio was in action, and he was a victim of an execution.

01:04:23It was Akio versus Pitman, but the Pale Rider, Mordecai,

01:04:27with one of the initial steps in a one-man crusade.

01:04:32Well, I guess Akio was a sinner.

01:04:33Hear him, fear him.

01:04:34That was Mordecai.

01:04:36But that's Akio.

01:04:37That neck is feeling the effects of that clothesline by Mordecai.

01:04:41But Chavo Plastic set the defender's title here tonight against Akio,

01:04:45who cannot be 100% after that assault in the hands of Mordecai last week.

01:04:50Oh, so what?

01:04:50Akio's not 100%.

01:04:51He might still be able to defeat Chavo Plastic here and become the new cruiserweight champion.

01:04:55Akio.

01:04:56That could very well happen, and Chavo Plastic with the right hand.

01:04:59Going after the neck.

01:05:00See?

01:05:00Smart.

01:05:02Veteran instincts as it goes.

01:05:03Well, he is a veteran.

01:05:04He's a swinging neck breaker.

01:05:05Back in the day, Chavo Plastic was one of the best.

01:05:08Forget about back in the day.

01:05:09We're in the day.

01:05:10You're kidding me?

01:05:11Plastic, new cruiserweight champion, baby champion.

01:05:14And there's an elbow to the back of the head, and Chavo Plastic really taking it to

01:05:17Akio, and you see how Chavo was working on the neck.

01:05:20Yeah.

01:05:20Boom.

01:05:20Clubbing that back, and Akio's neck, and Akio fighting back.

01:05:25Trying to battle back against the 215-pound champion right at the weight limit.

01:05:30Yeah, he's close with Chavo Plastic, but he's there.

01:05:33And Akio now.

01:05:34You gotta watch as Akio can fire it up here.

01:05:36I'll try to fire it up, but still feeling the effects again of that attack by the, that

01:05:41tail rider Mordecai last week.

01:05:43And now Chavo Plastic getting reversed into the ropes.

01:05:46Uh-oh.

01:05:47Uh-oh.

01:05:47Watch out here.

01:05:48Again.

01:05:49Akio countered.

01:05:50Akio trying to play Chippo out, but he set up the kick to the head.

01:05:54Akio's got that speed advantage on Chavo.

01:05:58Chavo Classic with that jumping, like a jumping leg lariat right off top of the head of Chavo

01:06:03Classic.

01:06:04Every time Akio has an offensive move, it's hard for him to capitalize on that injured neck.

01:06:08Absolutely.

01:06:09Although right now, I'm telling you, and my prediction may be right, it may be the shortest

01:06:12title reign in history.

01:06:13I'll tell you why.

01:06:14Akio's looking good here.

01:06:15Top roof.

01:06:16Wow.

01:06:17The corkscrew on the top, corkscrew.

01:06:19Look at Chavo employing the referee.

01:06:21You gotta turn around, ref, corkscrew.

01:06:23Akio had the title one right there, I believe.

01:06:26And Chavo drew the referee.

01:06:28Here we go.

01:06:28New champ.

01:06:29There's two.

01:06:30And the distraction allowed Plastic to kick out.

01:06:32Come on.

01:06:33You know, you gotta wake up pretty early in the morning to defeat Chavo Classic.

01:06:37Let's check this out.

01:06:38This corkscrew right here into a splash.

01:06:41To a cradle, actually.

01:06:43Chavo hanging out of the rope.

01:06:44Akio tossed over the top.

01:06:46And look out.

01:06:47Chavo Classic draws the referee, and guess who's outside the lane?

01:06:50Who?

01:06:51Chavo.

01:06:52Oh, my God.

01:06:53Akio, a spinning DDT out on the floor.

01:06:57Exclamation point with the point in the head of Akio.

01:07:00And the referee never saw it.

01:07:02Wow.

01:07:02And Classic is gonna steal the match.

01:07:04It's a role reversal tonight.

01:07:07Tonight's son helps Dad.

01:07:09Here's your winner, and still Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Klison.

01:07:15It's a family affair Cole.

01:07:17It's in the family.

01:07:18Chavo Guerrero's content with that.

01:07:20If he cannot be Cruiserweight Champion, then Papa should be Cruiserweight Champion.

01:07:24So when Chavo was champion, his dad helped him out all the time.

01:07:27So when Classic's champion, all of a sudden might as well help the dad.

01:07:30Hey, keep it in the family.

01:07:31Great souls, by the way.

01:07:32But yeah, right there.

01:07:33Old school we went there.

01:07:35Chavo Classic.

01:07:35This is ridiculous.

01:07:38This is ridiculous.

01:07:38Come on.

01:07:38Oh, come on.

01:07:40Ridiculous.

01:07:40Come on.

01:07:43Come on.

01:07:44Let's get out.

01:07:45A quarter of a million dollars.

01:07:47Raw Diva search is on.

01:07:49And once we've found that one lucky lady, she will be crowned the new Raw Diva and also

01:07:54be a quarter of a million dollars richer.

01:07:58Log on to WWE.com for more on this reality contest.

01:08:03Matt, you mean so much to me.

01:08:05And this past week, I realized that I love you.

01:08:09I thought you said this was over.

01:08:13It's all over.

01:08:20You ready to go?

01:08:22Yeah.

01:08:27The second Shawn Michaels steps foot in this building tonight, I am gonna beat him half

01:08:33to death.

01:08:34Do I have my magic back?

01:08:35Like, do I have it the way I asked for it specifically?

01:08:38No strings attached here.

01:08:39Yes!

01:08:39That was the deal.

01:08:41Hey look, there's Bishop.

01:08:43He's calling in the reinforcements.

01:08:45He's calling out the troops.

01:08:46Gotta be 20 superstars trying to pull these two men apart.

01:08:49That is it!

01:08:50Eating up!

01:08:53That's bad luck!

01:08:55It will be Triple H versus Shawn Michaels hell in a shell!

01:09:09Oh!

01:09:14Oh!

01:09:16Oh!

01:09:17Oh!

01:09:19Oh!

01:09:26Oh!

01:09:27Heyman is in the trunk of that car!

01:09:29This is not good!

01:09:30And the Dudley boys are taking off with Heyman.

01:09:33Where the hell are they taking him?

01:09:34I have no idea.

01:09:35Who knows what they...

01:09:36Wait a minute.

01:09:36What is...

01:09:36What the hell is that?

01:09:37I don't know.

01:09:38That's the urn.

01:09:40Is that an urn?

01:09:43Who the hell is he?

01:09:46Haven?

01:09:48What the...

01:09:49Paul, it must be Paul Bearer in the trunk of that car!

01:09:53They kidnapped Paul Bearer?

01:09:55The Dudley's kidnapped Paul Bearer?

01:09:58What the hell?

01:10:02And we are back on SmackDown.

01:10:04Various WWE superstars making their way...

01:10:06And the Lumberjacks, baby, Lumberjacks!

01:10:08Lumberjacks for the United States Championship match between John Cena and

01:10:11Rene Dupree in just a couple of minutes.

01:10:13But folks, moments ago, an assault and an abduction of the Dudley boys.

01:10:18We believed it was Paul Haven that they put in the trunk.

01:10:20We would find out later it was Paul Bearer.

01:10:25Get his foot in!

01:10:26That's right, Paul!

01:10:28He heard what Bubba Ray Dudley said.

01:10:30Newsworthy, right?

01:10:30Perhaps the challenge by Heyman.

01:10:32Yeah, and I guess that's...

01:10:33Heyman challenged the Dudleys earlier to make an impact.

01:10:35And then talk about an impact.

01:10:38They sure as hell did that.

01:10:39But then check this out, Paul, right there.

01:10:40You see it.

01:10:41The urn.

01:10:41The urn was there, and that was the first inclination

01:10:43that something bad was going on involving perhaps Paul Bearer.

01:10:47And then Paul Heyman would come into the shot here.

01:10:50He would pick up that urn.

01:10:51And that's when we realized it was indeed Paul Bearer.

01:10:54Now we had heard the rumors that The Undertaker was here earlier tonight.

01:10:58But we know next week...

01:11:00Oh, yeah.

01:11:01The Undertaker will be in action.

01:11:02A Judgment Day rematch against Booker T.

01:11:05Yeah, a rare television SmackDown appearance by the Deadman as he collides with Booker T.

01:11:11Off the jump, baby.

01:11:12Also in Toronto next week, the summer breakout for TV contest.

01:11:16This is gonna be cool.

01:11:17And Sable, Sable's back here on SmackDown.

01:11:20Who's gonna be victorious in the tournament?

01:11:22And don't forget next week, JBL with a stipulation for the championship matchup with the Great American Band.

01:11:27There you go.

01:11:27Lumberjacks all around the ring here for this United States Championship matchup.

01:11:32There will be no count out.

01:11:33There will be no disqualification.

01:11:35Pinballer submission must have come inside the ring.

01:11:39And here comes the general manager.

01:11:41The man of his word.

01:11:42He said he was coming, Cole.

01:11:45And he said he was gonna witness John Cena, the championship of John Cena.

01:11:50Changing hands to Rene Dupree.

01:11:52On a Frenchman.

01:11:53Kurt said he'd be happy about that.

01:11:55Well, Kurt Angle admitted earlier that he does not want John Cena as the United States Champion.

01:12:01That's a fancy box, though.

01:12:02And big, uh, Luther Reigns.

01:12:04That big, scary.

01:12:06Guys pushing that big box.

01:12:09Kurt Angle calling John Cena.

01:12:11A horrible representation of the United States.

01:12:14Let's hope Mr. Angle will be living in the box.

01:12:17There he is.

01:12:17What are you?

01:12:18What is you're guessing with the box?

01:12:20He's got his own personal focus.

01:12:21He's got his own personal focus.

01:12:22To be in the Macy's brand of Thanksgiving, it'll be a big hit.

01:12:24The general manager set to experience the United States Championship match first.

01:12:31And here comes the challenger.

01:12:34The following contest is a Lumberjack match scheduled for one fall.

01:12:39And it is for the WWE United States Championship.

01:12:44Tuesday first, the challenger made accompanied by Fifi from Paris, France.

01:12:50Weighing in at 263 pounds.

01:12:55Rene Dupree.

01:12:56Well, there you see the French phenom along with Fifi.

01:12:59And Kurt Angle is happy that Rene Dupree's on Twitter ringside.

01:13:03And I'm telling you, like I said earlier, call him shocked.

01:13:05A little surprised, I just say, that Angle would want to see a Frenchman beat champion.

01:13:09But that shows how much Mr. Angle can understand John Cena.

01:13:12Well, John Cena showed up, Mr. Angle, earlier tonight, too, going over Kurt Angle's head.

01:13:17And offering what I believe is a great idea to the board of directors.

01:13:20That all the military men and women will get the Great American Bash on pay-per-view for free.

01:13:25What a great idea by John Cena.

01:13:28And Angle was upset that he didn't think about it.

01:13:29No, Kurt did think about it. Angle was upset because Angle wanted to pitch the idea first.

01:13:33He's done, that's what he said about it.

01:13:34Here comes the doctor.

01:13:37And from West Virginia, Massachusetts, weighing in at 248 pounds,

01:13:43he is the United States Champion, John Cena.

01:13:49Did you see the look of disdain on the face of our general manager?

01:13:55Well, Mr. Angle feels that Jetman, John Cena, the United States Champion.

01:14:00It's a shame, but he exemplifies being a thug, the doctors of the knowledge, the youth of America.

01:14:06And, you know, listen to the stuff that Kurt's saying.

01:14:09He's not feeling what John Cena is selling to the youth of America.

01:14:12That's, that's, that's, that's, like Mr. Angle's M.O.

01:14:14John Cena is a proud American.

01:14:16And wearing that United States Championship means a lot to John Cena.

01:14:20And it's-

01:14:20Proud American, who's more of a proud American than that man right there?

01:14:23If he was a proud American, he wouldn't be so proud of having a Frenchman run around

01:14:27for the United States Championship.

01:14:29You know what? The Frenchman's part of SmackDown.

01:14:31And SmackDown is here in America, but you got a good point.

01:14:35And that's what it's all about, the United States Championship.

01:14:39And think about all the great superstars, all the great athletes over the years

01:14:42that have held that highly regarded title.

01:14:45John Cena defeating the Big Show at WrestleMania to win that title.

01:14:50His first major championship here on SmackDown.

01:14:52Cena gonna be hell-bent to give it away tonight to Rene Dupree.

01:14:56But again, Taz, let's talk about the superstars outside the ring.

01:14:58Oh, yeah. And the role these Lumberjacks will play in this matchup.

01:15:01Well, first, there's a roll-up.

01:15:02A quick roll-up and a kick-out by Cena.

01:15:04First of all, you got, you can't win this match.

01:15:06There's no count Fs, no disqualifications.

01:15:08If you're outside the ring, you're in no man's land because the Lumberjacks

01:15:13patrol the outside of the ring.

01:15:15And one or all of them will pick you back up and chuck you back in the ring.

01:15:19There's no way to run, no way to hide.

01:15:20Well, General Manager Kurt Angle admitted that he made this a Lumberjack matchup

01:15:23because Cena has no respect for authority.

01:15:25Well, Mr. Angle has that authority right or wrong?

01:15:28Here we go.

01:15:29Right.

01:15:29A quick roll-up by Cena.

01:15:30And Rene Dupree kicks out, standoff to the champion and the challenger.

01:15:34And here's the point I'm gonna make.

01:15:36Okay.

01:15:37Kurt Angle says that Cena has no respect for authority.

01:15:39What about Rene Dupree?

01:15:41Last week, Rene Dupree with the referee's back turn kicked John Cena.

01:15:45A low blow.

01:15:46Then he left Cena outside the ring, rolled into the ring,

01:15:49take the count-out victory over the champion.

01:15:50That shows no respect for authority.

01:15:52I don't get the point, but okay.

01:15:53Oh!

01:15:54Big take-down by Rene Dupree as the USA champs.

01:15:57Ring throughout the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.

01:16:00Thank you for bringing us into your living room tonight, ladies and gentlemen.

01:16:03What has been an unbelievable SmackDown,

01:16:06now with the United States Championship on the line.

01:16:08Yeah, nice hammerlock, nice switching to a hammerlock

01:16:10by the United States Champion John Cena on the challenger, Rene Dupree here.

01:16:15Dupree needs to try and reverse sadness or pick an ankle from between his legs

01:16:19to pull John Cena off the map, possibly.

01:16:21This series really tied a match apiece between Cena and Dupree.

01:16:25This is for all the marbles, the Lumberjack match for the championship.

01:16:28Two great young SmackDown superstars going at it, baby.

01:16:32Shoulder knocked down by John Cena.

01:16:34The issue between these two, look at this.

01:16:36There you go, Lumberjack.

01:16:37Yeah, Dupree was gonna try to roll out of the ring to catch a breath,

01:16:40but not with the superstars out there.

01:16:41Oh, you gotta deal with Arquaholly and Billy Gunn out there.

01:16:46Right now, Rene Dupree, like I said, no way to go, no way to run.

01:16:49He's in the corner and the referee's reading the Lumberjack.

01:16:52Okay, get out of the corner and get, you know, get going with Cena here.

01:16:54Well, this issue with Dupree and Cena started the day that Dupree came to SmackDown

01:16:58after the Raw Draft Lottery.

01:17:01Well, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't John Cena cut some nasty rap?

01:17:06Rene Dupree for no reason? Okay, I just got...

01:17:08There's really no reason.

01:17:09And look at that, John Cena, and another chop.

01:17:12Where's Cena hide his cake?

01:17:14And John Cena with the arm to the face of Rene Dupree.

01:17:18Challenger whipped into the corner, and down with authority.

01:17:21John Cena beginning to feel it.

01:17:22That knee is a pounding rim of the table, and Dupree is in no man's land.

01:17:27Exactly, that's what I said earlier.

01:17:29But now, what, Dupree's there and get him in, guys.

01:17:33What is Rico doing?

01:17:35I don't remember, I was afraid to go in there, Rico.

01:17:39Wait a minute.

01:17:41Look at Rico, Rico kissing with Dupree.

01:17:45Was it a French kiss?

01:17:47I think it's French, I don't know.

01:17:49I didn't know that was part of the Lumberjack criteria.

01:17:52I don't know.

01:17:53He may have it.

01:17:54And Dupree almost got caught.

01:17:56And there's a clothesline by the French Cena.

01:17:59I'll tell you, the Lumberjacks I know call back in Red Hook.

01:18:01They don't do any kissing.

01:18:03Lumberjacks and Red Hook, you know how many damn trees in Red Hook?

01:18:05They're cutting poles down.

01:18:06And now Dupree in control of John Cena here.

01:18:11Uh-oh.

01:18:12Uh-oh.

01:18:12John Cena with Dupree on the top rope again.

01:18:15Rene Dupree getting the rest of it here.

01:18:17Well, Billy Gunn and Hardcore Holiday are not gonna do any kissing.

01:18:20They chuck him back in.

01:18:21Oh!

01:18:21Remember, no count outs, no disqualification, pin fall or submission inside the ring in this

01:18:26title matchup.

01:18:27Now John Cena in control here.

01:18:30Uh-oh.

01:18:31Look at him.

01:18:31Oh!

01:18:33Rene Dupree.

01:18:36I'll tell you, this Kid Dupree is put together as a physical specimen.

01:18:39And he's hit him.

01:18:40On the line.

01:18:41Hooks the leg.

01:18:42And a kick out by John Cena.

01:18:43The thing that I like about that guy, Rene Dupree, is he shifts gears quickly.

01:18:47He saw that John Cena was gonna dominate him with those punches.

01:18:49He shifted gears and got on top of him.

01:18:53Let John Cena champs begin.

01:18:55The fan favorite here.

01:18:57Oh, look at the Lumberjacks outside the ring.

01:18:59Trying to will this crowd on as well.

01:19:03Right now, now you can hear Rene say, come on, Cena.

01:19:06Oh, man!

01:19:06John Cena, and that is not where Cena wants to be.

01:19:09Oh, look at Luka.

01:19:10Uh-oh.

01:19:11What's he doing?

01:19:12Oh!

01:19:13That's a Lumberjack, Cole.

01:19:14That's a lot to do.

01:19:16Look at the box of Kurt Angle.

01:19:20And look at this.

01:19:21Uh-oh, uh-oh.

01:19:22Well, friends of John Cena coming to his aid, the Lumberjacks in each other's faces.

01:19:26Yeah, the Natives are getting restless.

01:19:27Well, Kurt Angle's assistant, however, may have turned the tables in the challenger's favor.

01:19:32Will Angle get his wish?

01:19:33Will Cena lose the US title tonight?

01:19:38We are back on SmackDown.

01:19:40Thanks to Kurt Angle's assistant, Luther Reigns, the challenger, Rene Dupree, is in control.

01:19:46The United States champion, John Cena, in this Lumberjack matchup.

01:19:52Well, this is what happened right before the break.

01:19:55Luther Reigns is a Lumberjack, and he took advantage of it.

01:19:58Yeah, Luther Reigns, one big, bad Lumberjack, and Mr. Angle, our general manager, is impressed.

01:20:04Ed Dupree taking control on John Cena.

01:20:07Here's the cover.

01:20:07Hook to the outside leg with the title on the line, and the champion just rolls the shoulder out.

01:20:17But now, Dave Dupree measuring those right hands.

01:20:21Look at this, look at this, look at this!

01:20:22John Cena, tremendous leg strength, may have him, and a kick out by Dupree.

01:20:26Very nice penny predicament, John Cena put Dupree in there.

01:20:30That was impressive.

01:20:31Looking over the shoulder of Booker T as he looks on at this United States Championship matchup.

01:20:37Lumberjacks surrounding the ring for the first time in four years.

01:20:41Superstars on SmackDown involved in a Lumberjack match with the United States title on the line here now.

01:20:46And as we said earlier, in this matchup, no count outs, no disqualifications, only win the match by pin four

01:20:52all submission.

01:20:53And stay away from the Lumberjacks.

01:20:55And a rake of the eyes by Rene Dupree, blatant cheating in front of the referee.

01:20:59Getting out of clothesline, almost not Cena for a win.

01:21:02Well, I'll tell you, Cole, that John Cena has not been the same since Luther Reigns through John Cena head

01:21:08and face-first at the current angles float, I guess you'd call it that big box.

01:21:12Dropping the elbow, Dupree covers.

01:21:14Championship doesn't change hands right there.

01:21:17But it's getting closer for Dupree.

01:21:19Every pin fall, every kick out, taking more.

01:21:21You gotta go with Rene Dupree as a favorite in this matchup.

01:21:26I mean, the turn angle being down here, maybe it's a distraction or I don't know.

01:21:30The USA chance filling the arena.

01:21:33And of course you gotta make Dupree the favorite here.

01:21:35Especially after Luther Reigns just banged John Cena's head off a steel case.

01:21:40Legally, he's a lumberjack.

01:21:41John Cena, that jawbreaker to Dupree.

01:21:44John Cena.

01:21:46Wait a minute.

01:21:47Booker, wow.

01:21:48Did Booker T just pull the rope down?

01:21:50He sure helped it.

01:21:51And look at this.

01:21:52The Lumberjacks assaulting John Cena until some of these friends come to John Cena's age.

01:21:58And they're right out here trying to separate the bodies.

01:22:01The Lumberjacks are supposed to put the superstars back in the ring.

01:22:04Here's the cover.

01:22:06The Lumberjacks aren't supposed to pull the top rope down.

01:22:11Well, I don't know.

01:22:12How do you know that?

01:22:12Do you have a Lumberjack handbook?

01:22:14No.

01:22:14I just understand the rules of the match.

01:22:16Okay.

01:22:16Well, I've been the one who told you the rules.

01:22:17And Rene Dupree, the challenger off the back.

01:22:21Let's take another look.

01:22:22Let's see if Booker does do that.

01:22:24There it is.

01:22:26You're gonna call that fair.

01:22:28Look at Dupree off the second rope.

01:22:30It's not fair.

01:22:30It's not right, but it's.

01:22:31Correcting the top rope.

01:22:32Hook to the leg.

01:22:33Shoulders down, John Cena kicking out again.

01:22:36It's not fair.

01:22:36It's not right, but it was effective.

01:22:37Booker did it for whatever reason.

01:22:39And Cena went sail over the top.

01:22:41I don't know.

01:22:42I'll tell you, Cole.

01:22:43Lumberjacks aren't supposed to touch him by it.

01:22:45Should be getting thrown out of the ring.

01:22:48And here, Dupree, a kick to the head of John Cena.

01:22:52Here's Rene Dupree, hook to the leg, kick out again.

01:22:56Rene Dupree is just picking the part of John Cena right now.

01:22:59Dupree getting a little frustrated.

01:23:01He can't get the pin.

01:23:02The victory over the United States Champion.

01:23:04And Rene Dupree, and look at John Cena.

01:23:07Rock the right hand.

01:23:07John Cena.

01:23:08Come on.

01:23:09To Rene Dupree.

01:23:10The champion.

01:23:11John Cena.

01:23:11Back into this matchup.

01:23:13Here you go, guys.

01:23:14Now what?

01:23:16Well, Dupree buys himself some time.

01:23:19But he's right there.

01:23:20Oh, whoa, what's wrong here?

01:23:22Hell breaking loose again outside the ring.

01:23:24Look at these guys outside the ring like each other anyway.

01:23:26Look at Booker T.

01:23:28Fight out here.

01:23:29Booker T is beating the hell out of John Cena.

01:23:31The hell is Booker T the hat for?

01:23:33I have no idea.

01:23:34Booker T beating the hell out of the champion.

01:23:38I've never seen all the money or something.

01:23:40I don't know what that's about.

01:23:42They damaged Spiker.

01:23:43Almost just don't want to throw.

01:23:44Seeing him, but they have to.

01:23:46Mr. Rene Dupree's out here.

01:23:47Yeah, Mr. Arnold probably suspending himself.

01:23:49John Cena back into the ring.

01:23:51They're just doing their job, Van Dammit, Spike.

01:23:53But Rene Dupree, here's the cover.

01:23:55We have him, hook to the left.

01:23:57He's got it, no.

01:23:57John Cena just rolled the shoulder out, but again, it's just a matter of time.

01:24:02And again, a kick out by John Cena.

01:24:04And Booker's up there again.

01:24:05Hook to the leg, and Cena kicks out a third time.

01:24:08Tremendous, just Cena refusing to get pinned.

01:24:11But Booker Tee looks more, I ain't gonna hit Dupree.

01:24:14I mean, Dupree and Booker had to have a little conversation with him.

01:24:16Dupree wins the title, he can thank Booker Tee.

01:24:19And look at John Cena with the right hand.

01:24:21Here comes the champion, and Rene Dupree met a spinebuster.

01:24:24If he can cover, if Dupree can cover, we'll have a new champ, I'm telling you.

01:24:28Rene Dupree could be just moments away from being crowned the United States champion.

01:24:33Dr. Thuganomics is toast, he's the doctor of toast now, he's done, I'm telling you.

01:24:37Rene Dupree taking a little too much time here.

01:24:41Real cocky, Dupree, you gotta cover him, kid.

01:24:44Look at this, he's doing that French tickling dance, the French man.

01:24:48Well, Mr. Angle likes it.

01:24:49I like it too.

01:24:50And look at that, dropping the big knee in the elbow.

01:24:52And Cena, hook up the leg, he's got it.

01:24:55No, John Cena, dug down deep inside again.

01:24:59I'll tell you what, we'll see him right here tonight on SmackDown.

01:25:01How bad John Cena wants to hold up, hold up, his United States champion.

01:25:08Booker T is all fired up for Dupree to win this matchup.

01:25:12And now what, Dupree in control, we've seen this before.

01:25:17It looks like he's going for a power bomb, but John Cena counters.

01:25:20Big back body drop, John Cena, here we go.

01:25:24John Cena wearing out, series of punches in the head of Dupree.

01:25:31The champion back to his feet, and now the champion on the attack.

01:25:34Rene Dupree backed up into the corner.

01:25:36Here comes the champion with the right hands.

01:25:38Perhaps Dupree's window of opportunity has closed as the champion pounds away on the challenger.

01:25:44Dupree's on the ropes, literally here.

01:25:47John Cena has complete control.

01:25:49Whoa, whipped into the corner.

01:25:51Here we go.

01:25:52Big back body drop.

01:25:53The doctor's on the roll.

01:25:55Come on, Rene Dupree.

01:25:57Get up, get up, get up, get up.

01:25:59John Cena is all fired up.

01:26:02Rene Dupree, come look at that.

01:26:03Nice body shot by the French Phenom there.

01:26:07Rene Dupree, the challenger.

01:26:09Count of John Cena from behind.

01:26:11Look at this.

01:26:11That's you.

01:26:12He may have him.

01:26:21Here's your winner and still, United States Champion, John Cena.

01:26:30John Cena has stuck it to the general manager of SmackDown.

01:26:35Kurt Angle's miserable, angry about it, and shows Booker.

01:26:38John Cena remains the United States Champion.

01:26:43John Cena has bucked the establishment here tonight.

01:26:47Not how he did it, Cole, but John Cena did it.

01:26:50Thank you for joining us on SmackDown.

01:26:52We'll see you next week in Toronto with a rare TV appearance by The Undertaker.

01:26:56And he goes one-on-one with Booker T.

01:27:00Can you reinforce this?

01:27:02We strike quick with hard kick.

01:27:03Dunk your nightsticks.

01:27:04Band of goodness we fight, man.

01:27:06Beat you like, just never survive.
