00:00Standing by live there is our newest broadcast colleague, the coach.
00:05Guys, I am indeed here at the WWF Entertainment Complex.
00:09It's wild, it's crazy.
00:10Needless to say, everybody liked the last match.
00:13Now, of course, this opened just a few days ago, and hundreds and hundreds of fans,
00:18hundreds of fans have packed this place.
00:21They're looking forward to the rest of the matches.
00:23And, of course, the most exciting place to be in the heart of Times Square,
00:26only ten blocks away.
00:27We'll see you a little bit later on.
00:29Take it away.
00:30Back to Madison Square Garden.
00:33Chyna, relax.
00:34All I want you to do is snap my belt around my waist so I can wear it up to
00:37the ring.
00:38Why don't you be chivalrous for once in your life and let me wear the belt for a change?
00:42Chivalrous?
00:42What do you think?
00:43This is medieval times?
00:43No, but at least you could be a gentleman.
00:45I want to take my gentleman to snap you up next.
00:47Let me settle this.
00:48I'm gonna take you to the ring, and when you guys get there,
00:50we'll find out who is the undisputed in a continental jacket, okay?
00:53Earl, come on.
00:55Dave.
00:55Look what you did now, Chris.
00:57Thanks a lot.
00:58Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, listen, we're on next in about ten minutes.
01:00I'll have the belt around my waist for real anyway.
01:02So all this is- Yeah, we'll see about that.
01:03I should have it around my waist now, but I can't do that either.
01:08The WWF would like to remind you that these are trained athletes, and
01:12this should only take place here, not here.
01:18These WWF athletes are highly trained professionals, and
01:21none of their moves should ever be tried.
01:23In home, the backyard, anywhere else, but in the ring.
01:26And especially that move, Mae Young's pulled.
01:29J.R., I don't think I'll ever be the same, I'm scarred for life.
01:31The following contest scheduled for one fall is a triple threat match for
01:39the Intercontinental Championship, three people will be vying for the Intercontinental Championship.
01:42Introducing first, weighing in at allegedly over 400 pounds,
01:49Hardcore Holly.
01:53Hardcore Holly, the talent for the Intercontinental title.
02:01This is a triple threat matchup for the Intercontinental Championship.
02:05Three people will be vying for the Intercontinental title,
02:08currently held for the first time in WWF history by two people, Chyna and Chris Jericho.
02:14The first person to score pinfall or submission in this contest will be the Intercontinental Champion.
02:21Hardcore Holly, Hardcore Holly has a win over both Jericho and Chyna.
02:24Come on, she went to the arena.
02:25Certainly does.
02:27The 9th Wonder of the World, Chyna.
02:33I have a great deal of respect for this woman, I can tell you that.
02:37The 9th Wonder of the World, more than just a marketing slogan,
02:42she is an amazing human being.
02:44Better respect her, J.R., cuz she can yank that taxi cab right down from the rafters
02:48and whack you over the head with it.
02:50She is a very intelligent, a very skilled athlete is Chyna,
02:55co-holder of the Intercontinental title.
03:04Triple threat rules to determine the undisputed Intercontinental Champion.
03:12Watch your ears.
03:21And the other co-holder of the Intercontinental title about to make his way to the ring here
03:26in Madison Square Garden.
03:32And one, two, three, Chris Jericho.
03:38Are you a jerk-aholic king?
03:42I like Chris Jericho.
03:44All right, New York City.
03:46I might be more of a Chyna fan though.
03:49Welcome to Madison Square Jericho.
03:58And after tonight, when I become the true undisputed Intercontinental Champion,
04:04the Jericho-holics of the Big Apple will throw a celebration party that'll make the Millennium Bash
04:14in Times Square look like my sister's seventh birthday party.
04:21It'll be a celebration so huge, so grandiose, so spectacular that it will never, ever be forgotten again.
04:37We are gonna find out who the undisputed Intercontinental Champion is here.
04:41Chyna made history last year at the Royal Rumble by becoming the first woman to compete in the Rumble.
04:46She's back this year as co-holder of the Intercontinental title.
04:50Another first.
04:51She has broken more ground than any female competitor in WWF history.
04:57Look at this.
04:58And Hardcore Holly, somewhat of a chauvinist at heart.
05:04You try to take that as a compliment, shoving Chyna down, nice hip-lock tickle by Jericho.
05:09As if you're not a chauvinist.
05:10What do you mean by that?
05:11You're a chauvinist, admit it.
05:12Wow.
05:13I try not to be.
05:17It's a slap fest.
05:22Chyna stomping away now, the midsection of Hardcore Holly.
05:27The Intercontinental title up for grabs in this matchup.
05:30Uh-oh, look out.
05:30Chyna catapulted right over the top rope to the floor, leaving Jericho and Holly in there
05:35to find it out.
05:37Remember, the first person to score a pinfall or submission victory in this contest
05:42will leave as the undisputed Intercontinental Champion.
05:48Great athleticism by Jericho, who got a tremendous ovation here in Madison Square Garden.
05:52And a beautiful dropkick by Hardcore Holly, as good as you will ever see.
05:58I'll tell you something, JR, I apologize, but my mind is just, I want to tell you something.
06:03I mean, I've seen Frankenstein movies, horror movies, Dracula.
06:08I've never seen anything like Mae Young.
06:10You see some scary movies like Man on the Moon.
06:12Hey, there's a forearm and a near fall.
06:15You see her dairy farms, I bet they get powdered milk.
06:19Stop it.
06:22Mae's a lot of fun.
06:23This is how she's been- A lot of fun.
06:26Well, you know, Hex, if you- You might want to date with her.
06:28I'm not looking for a date with her, but she is.
06:30You gotta admire her spunk, and you're obsessed for life.
06:36Jericho, why is it Jericho coming up here?
06:39It's gonna be it.
06:40Jericho's got Hardcore Holly, this is gonna be over.
06:43Turn the back of the ring, and broke up the submission move.
06:47And this crowd here, not too happy about that interruption.
06:52A lot of Jericho-holics here.
06:53Lots of Jericho-holics in Madison Square Garden.
06:56But they gotta remember, it's everybody for themselves.
06:58And there's a cover.
06:59Stomp right to Hardcore Holly's head.
07:01Look out.
07:02Look at the power of the ninth one in the world, taking Hardcore Holly over the top
07:06rope back to the floor.
07:08And Jericho with a hard shot to the midsection.
07:10Don't ever turn your back on Jericho.
07:13The co-intercontinental champions in the ring at this time.
07:15And Holly on the outside.
07:18Look at, man.
07:19Nice baseball slide through by Chyna, finding his mark on Hardcore.
07:25And Jericho back in the ring.
07:28Well, that might be some good strategy.
07:29Look at Jericho.
07:30Yeah.
07:31Jericho flying to the top.
07:34Jericho taking a tremendous chance there.
07:37I think he meant to hit both Holly and Chyna.
07:40Jericho's head bouncing off the ring steps now as Chyna tosses the co-holder along with herself
07:45of the Intercontinental title back in the ring.
07:47Uh-oh.
07:48I love this move.
07:50Chyna the-
07:51Yes!
07:52Go for the handspring elbow.
07:54Beautiful.
07:55And now the BET gonna be over.
07:58Chyna cut Jericho covered.
08:00And Hardcore Holly with a stiff interruption there, broke up the count before the three.
08:05Man, she had it won.
08:06Look out.
08:07Chyna again tossed outside here by Hardcore Holly.
08:11Holly and Jericho now back in the squared circle looking to see who's gonna leave here as the
08:15Intercontinental Champion.
08:16Whoa!
08:17Chyna low bridge Jericho and Jericho, I don't know if she meant to do that or not, but
08:21in any event the results are, is that Chyna is down now and so is Jericho.
08:25Right out here in front of us.
08:27Uh-oh, wait a minute.
08:27Watch yourself.
08:30You know what?
08:32Come on, Holly.
08:33Don't do it.
08:34I knew he was gonna win there.
08:36He's gonna take Chyna's head off and Jericho and turn to the drop kick.
08:40Drop kick in that chair right back in Holly's face.
08:44Man, Hardcore Holly was gonna take Chyna's head off, King, with that steel chair.
08:48Thought he had it won.
08:49I realize the Intercontinental Championship is a prized possession, but it's gonna take it a little too far, wouldn't you
08:56think?
08:57Every man, well, every man or woman.
08:59Chyna's going up top and so is Jericho.
09:02Holly lying most of this on the canvas.
09:04What's- Look at this.
09:08Both, Holly's pinned.
09:10But Holly kicked out.
09:11Wow.
09:12Both Chyna and Jericho were on top for the cover.
09:15And that would have been some controversy there if both would have pinned Hardcore Holly.
09:18Man.
09:19And Jericho and Chyna now.
09:21How much more controversy can it get, JR?
09:23They're already co-champions.
09:24You're right.
09:28Uh-oh.
09:28Trying to create some offense with Jericho.
09:31Did you see that?
09:32That's a low blow.
09:33Yeah, I saw it.
09:34That's some offense.
09:35And Jericho felt it.
09:38Uh-oh, Chyna's gotta win this thing, King.
09:42There's a pedigree.
09:44Trying to use Triple H's pedigree.
09:46That's gonna be all.
09:49No, it's not.
09:50Damn.
09:51Hardcore Holly got his right shoulder just off the canvas.
09:54Not really a kick out, but the right shoulder came off the canvas.
10:00Well, Chyna's certainly in control here.
10:02Uh-oh, wait a minute.
10:03Watch yourself.
10:04Uh-oh.
10:05Uh-oh, Chyna, Holly.
10:06She's not in control anymore.
10:07She is not in control anymore.
10:09Jericho.
10:10On top.
10:11Jericho the cross body.
10:13Jericho's got Chyna.
10:14Did he get it?
10:15No, he didn't.
10:15How did she kick out of that?
10:16I don't know.
10:17Amazing, amazing resilience by Chyna.
10:20But down goes Jericho.
10:22Speaking of kicks.
10:23A kick right to the face of Hardcore Holly.
10:26And the co-intercontinental champions are in a bad way here.
10:29But wait a minute, Jericho quickly back up.
10:32Uh-oh.
10:34We're gonna see something bad for Hardcore.
10:38Superflex coming up.
10:39Look at Chyna.
10:40Look at this.
10:42And Chyna just maneuvered both men a straddle of the top rope.
10:48And Holly is still feeling it, sitting up there on the turnbook.
10:51She got them both, JR.
10:52That'll give a new definition to the word Sopranos.
10:56Chyna now the front face lock.
10:57This could finish Bob.
10:59No, Chyna stepped on the top rope here.
11:02Uh-oh.
11:03Chyna.
11:04Not a good place to be.
11:05But the squeeze on Holly, the front face lock.
11:07And the Superflex right off the top.
11:10But Holly, Holly's got the cover.
11:12Whoa.
11:14A long, long two count.
11:17That wasn't any longer than usual.
11:19She kicked out.
11:20With the Intercontinental title on the line.
11:24Hey, hey.
11:26Tremendous matchup thus far.
11:28Go.
11:29Uh-oh.
11:30With Holly hammering Jericho, Chyna has gotten a steel chair.
11:36Is this legal or illegal?
11:37She'll be disqualified.
11:38Well, I guess the referee doesn't see it.
11:40Anything's legal.
11:42Holly has been, his lights have been knocked out.
11:45He's done for.
11:49Chyna gonna do with Holly here.
11:51Look, looks like she's trying to-
11:53Where is she going?
11:54That's a Boston Crab, maybe she's using Jericho.
11:57Jericho from behind, grabbing Chyna by the hair and driving the ninth one of the world down face first.
12:03He moves off by Jericho.
12:06And Jericho wins it.
12:09Jericho is the undisputed Intercontinental Champion.
12:12Who is this bout?
12:13Undisputed champion.
12:15Intercontinental Champion.
12:17He can finally carry that championship himself.
12:23Jericho will lead Madison Square Garden as the undisputed Intercontinental Champion of the World Wrestling Federation.
12:32Much to the chagrin of Chyna and Hardcore Holly.
12:38Hardcore, he's still out of it.
12:42Man, this match could have gone up several different ways.
12:45It looked for a time that Hardcore Holly was gonna win the title.
12:48And then it looked like Chyna had regrouped.
12:52It looked like she was going to walk out of here as the undisputed Intercontinental Champion.
12:57But it was not to be.
12:59Take a look at this, J.R.
13:00Chyna was gonna-
13:01I think she was just trying to rub it in there.
13:03She wanted to win with the walls of Jericho.
13:06But Chris Jericho came from behind and got the three count.
13:10Ladies and gentlemen, let's check it out back in the locker in Marriott to our colleague-
13:14Hew.
13:14Hew.
