00:00:16The game, Triple H will collide with Kurt Angle.

00:00:20And the winner will be the number one contender for the WWF title.

00:00:27I need you to do me a favor.

00:00:28Anything.

00:00:31I need you to stay back here tonight.

00:00:33Looks like she's going to reluctantly agree with what Triple...

00:00:36Uh-oh.

00:00:37That was your head.

00:00:39Whoa!

00:00:42I've been lost some...

00:00:44Oh, my God.

00:00:45This is very, very personal.

00:00:47But the game can't forget.

00:00:48It's professional as well.

00:00:50What is this?

00:00:50Triple H told us why.

00:00:52And there she is.

00:00:52And not come out here tonight.

00:00:54Why would she be out here?

00:00:55Oh, look out!

00:00:56The referee got knocked down.

00:00:57What's he doing coming down here?

00:00:58What's Ben Watt doing out here?

00:01:00Angle's got a steel tear in his hand.

00:01:01And wait a minute!

00:01:02Stabini!

00:01:03Stabini took the tear away from Angle!

00:01:05Oh!

00:01:05And Triple H's out!

00:01:06Going to hook up Angle!

00:01:07Wait a minute!

00:01:08Ben Watt is posting me on the apron!

00:01:10Oh, my God!

00:01:10Ben Watt's got a steel tear!

00:01:12Can you look out?

00:01:13Ben Watt has hit Triple H!

00:01:14Oh, my God!

00:01:15Right into the Olympic Slam!

00:01:17Here's your winner!

00:01:19Kurt Angle!

00:01:21Damn!

00:01:21The game did the only thing he could!

00:01:23And that was to save his life!

00:01:25It cost the game a number one contendership!

00:01:28And Triple H obviously upset King!

00:01:30What are you doing?

00:01:32Triple H, what's he doing?

00:01:35Triple H is turning his back on his wife!

00:01:38Why is Triple H leaving his wife alone?

00:01:40Is Triple H leaving Stephanie?

00:01:41Oh, this marriage is a Triple King!

00:01:43Oh, my gosh!

00:01:46Stone Cold Steve Austin!

00:01:48I understand that you have yourself a little problem with authority figures!

00:01:52Well, I understand you got run over by an automobile!

00:01:55I understand you're a little bit f***ed off!

00:01:57You are free to conduct your investigation any way you see fit!

00:02:02But I need to have your word on this matter!

00:02:05And that word is, you will not interfere in matches!

00:02:10Again!

00:02:11Oh, wait!

00:02:12They're Stone Cold!

00:02:13What?

00:02:13Let's do it on the good father!

00:02:15No!

00:02:15Let's do it on Boone Buchanan!

00:02:17He's done the uncardable!

00:02:18Commissioner McFully warned the Rattleson earlier!

00:02:21You'll see what Boone's gonna do now!

00:02:22You don't really leave me much of a choice,

00:02:25but either fine you, or suspend you from the WWF!

00:02:30So, as the commissioner of the WWF, what I've decided to do...

00:02:35Oh, hold off and it's underdo!

00:02:37I've just done the commissioner!

00:02:39For God's sake, Stone Cold!

00:02:41What are you thinking?

00:02:42Do it!

00:02:42What are you thinking?

00:02:57I'll see you!

00:02:57What are you thinking?

00:03:06When you're talking to the pot, it's not the Nejf of the Panthers,

00:03:06What's the thing!

00:03:06Look!

00:03:06Bruce!

00:03:37Well, it's put up for shut up time, and I understand that Foley has made his decision as to what

00:03:43to do about him.

00:03:44We'll find out tonight.

00:03:53And what a way to kick off SmackDown, a six person tag team matchup.

00:03:58And here comes the tag team challenge and the women's champions.

00:04:02Six person tag team matchup for the fall.

00:04:04He can get a way to the right of the World Wrestling Federation Women's Champion, Lita.

00:04:09And the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions, The Hardy Boy.

00:04:15Well, take the Hardys and Lita set to take on Jacqueline and Lowdown.

00:04:19And let's show you one of the reasons this matchup came about.

00:04:22We'll take you back to all this past Monday night on TNN.

00:04:24I was doing an interview with Lita when a missus attacked by Jacqueline from out of the locker room.

00:04:30It was unbelievable.

00:04:31I'm actually surprised to see Lita even standing tonight.

00:04:34Look at Jackie.

00:04:35I mean, she attacked Lita from behind.

00:04:38Almost went into the women's shower.

00:04:39They were all over the women's locker room.

00:04:42And this, look, a nice makeup job there by Jackie.

00:04:45But she really took it to Lita.

00:04:47Lita's the Women's Champion and King, it's no secret.

00:04:49And Jacqueline wants to get the Covenant Women's title.

00:04:53And after Lita talked to Jacqueline off that truck, she went for a moonsault.

00:04:57And Jacqueline hit her with a fire extinguisher.

00:04:59Oh, Jackie hit her with everything but the kitchen sink.

00:05:02Like I said, I'm surprised Lita's even here tonight.

00:05:07Jacqueline did a number on Lita, so tonight on SmackDown,

00:05:10it's revenge time for the Women's Champion.

00:05:13And their opponents, Jacqueline, along with Chaz and Nilo, Blue Down.

00:05:22Well, King, it's gonna be a big night on SmackDown.

00:05:25We mentioned Kane versus The Rock from the WWE title.

00:05:28I wanna remind everybody, Kurt Angle is the number one contender.

00:05:32He defeated Triple H on Raw as we saw at the top of the show.

00:05:35And Kurt Angle, King, will meet the champion at no mercy in just about two weeks.

00:05:40It's gonna be unbelievable.

00:05:42And so is this.

00:05:43Look at Jackie.

00:05:44Look at Lita.

00:05:45We're both hot looking tonight.

00:05:46A six-person tag team matchup to start us off here on SmackDown.

00:05:50Lowdown in Jacqueline against the Hardy Boys and Lita.

00:05:53Also on the line tonight, the European Championship.

00:05:56Al Snow against X-Pac in a rematch from last week on SmackDown.

00:06:00But the big story, King, rumors are swirling as you mentioned.

00:06:04Commissioner Mick Foley is apparently making a decision on what he's going to do

00:06:08without Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:06:09Well, he had to do something to, I mean, just in order to save face.

00:06:13Of course, look at Foley's face.

00:06:14I don't know why I'd wanna save it.

00:06:15But anyway, I understand it.

00:06:16It's not a real, Michael.

00:06:18He's got Jeff Hardy.

00:06:19Hit a kick out by Chaz after two.

00:06:20You don't think Hardy's gonna beat somebody that quick, do you?

00:06:23Come on, Chaz.

00:06:23And here comes Matt Hardy off the tag from his brother, Jeff.

00:06:27The Hardy Boys, the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions.

00:06:30Chaz whipped into the curtain, just punching in motion by Jeff Hardy.

00:06:34Here comes D'Lo Brown and double teamed by the Hardy Boys.

00:06:39Come on.

00:06:40Get Lita and Jackie.

00:06:41Look at Jackie.

00:06:42No!

00:06:42Jacqueline misses with a cross body off the top rope.

00:06:45And Matt Hardy now in control.

00:06:47And Lita wants a tag.

00:06:48She wants some revenge on Jacqueline King.

00:06:50Did you see Jackie hit the man back and deflate all of her hopes and dreams for this match?

00:06:56Whoa!

00:06:57And Matt Hardy gives the tag to Lita.

00:06:58Look at Chaz.

00:07:00Oh, wow!

00:07:01And Hardy missed the tag to Lita.

00:07:02And Chaz delivers a hurdle to Matt Hardy.

00:07:06Well, of course, we know Lita hangs with the Hardys all the time, but Jackie went out and enlisted the

00:07:11help of the Lowdown here.

00:07:13And so far, they're doing a good job.

00:07:14And Chaz in control of Matt Hardy.

00:07:16And here comes D'Lo Brown and here comes Trouble King.

00:07:19The Hardy Boys and Lita in a tough way right now in the hands of Lowdown and Jacqueline.

00:07:24You know the Hardy Boys and Lita were part of that big SmackDown Your Vote rally this past Monday on

00:07:28Capitol Hill.

00:07:29And what an elbow delivered by D'Lo Brown.

00:07:32So if you're Commissioner Mick Foley and you're coming into SmackDown tonight, Jake, what would you do about Stone Cold

00:07:36Steve Austin?

00:07:37Oh, no.

00:07:38Don't put me in that spot now.

00:07:39But I guarantee you, you gotta do something.

00:07:41I mean, like I said before, Foley.

00:07:43Oh, man.

00:07:44Foley was becoming the Rodney Dangerfield of Commissioners.

00:07:46He had lost all respect from the WWF superstars.

00:07:49And, well, it's put-up or shut-up time.

00:07:51But I don't know what I'd do if I were in his shoes.

00:07:54Oh, look out.

00:07:54Matt Hardy whipped into the barricade.

00:07:56The other big story here tonight.

00:07:57I think Jacqueline taking out Matt Hardy with a clothesline.

00:08:00The other big story here tonight, Jake.

00:08:01The state of the relationship, the marriage between Triple H and Stephanie.

00:08:05Oh, my gosh.

00:08:05Look at that.

00:08:06Look at Lita from behind.

00:08:07Somebody for this relationship.

00:08:08Wow.

00:08:09And a forearm to the back of Lita.

00:08:11And Jacqueline scoops away.

00:08:14Well, Lita had no business being around on this side of the ring.

00:08:17Get back where you belong.

00:08:18Oh, look out.

00:08:19Matt Hardy in trouble.

00:08:20What a slam by D'Lo.

00:08:21What's the leg?

00:08:21There's one.

00:08:22There's two.

00:08:23And Matt Hardy kicks out of this sixth person.

00:08:24Well, you know what I'm thinking right here.

00:08:26What would you think now?

00:08:27You ask me a question.

00:08:28Let me ask you one.

00:08:29What if D'Lo or either Chaz, what if Lowdown were to defeat the Hardys here?

00:08:33Wouldn't that put them in line for a tag title shot?

00:08:36Well, yes it would.

00:08:36Of course it would.

00:08:38Lowdown, D'Lo, Brown, and Chaz trying to make a name for themselves in the World Wrestling

00:08:41Federation.

00:08:41It's basically, King.

00:08:42They feel like they've got no respect for the front office here at the WWF.

00:08:46More from the fans for that matter.

00:08:47Nobody's getting any respect around here lately.

00:08:49And D'Lo with a cheap shot to Matt Hardy.

00:08:52And Chaz is in control.

00:08:53Look out, Matt Hardy in trouble.

00:08:54Oh, this is good right here.

00:08:55Hung up underneath that bottom rope.

00:08:58I like these intergender matches.

00:09:00That means intergender meaning the men can wrestle the women.

00:09:02Women can wrestle the men.

00:09:04Fair game here.

00:09:05Matt Hardy into the corner.

00:09:07Still to come tonight, King.

00:09:08The Rock takes on Kane with the WWF Championship on the line.

00:09:13And what a war it's gonna be for The Rock.

00:09:15Yeah, I don't know what I'd do if I were in The Rock shoes tonight either.

00:09:18What do you do against a guy like Kane or a monster like Kane?

00:09:22You know how badly Kane wants to win the World Wrestling Federation Championship.

00:09:26You think maybe Rock could just call in sick or something?

00:09:28I don't think The Rock would ever call in sick.

00:09:30Uh-oh.

00:09:31And here's the tag to D'Lo.

00:09:32And here's the tag to Jeff Hardy.

00:09:34Jeff Hardy up over the top rope, knock a D'Lo down.

00:09:36Wise Maneuver going for the legs.

00:09:38And Jeff Hardy.

00:09:39Man!

00:09:40And D'Lo's on Dream Street.

00:09:42Look at Jeff's hair.

00:09:43Does he ever have a good hair day?

00:09:46Look out.

00:09:48What a move!

00:09:50Beautiful!

00:09:51A high risk maneuver from Jeff Hardy, that corkscrew.

00:09:54And I think Jeff may have injured himself as he took out D'Lo King.

00:09:57Yeah, see, that's what happened with these high risk thrill seekers.

00:10:00Every now and then they're gonna crash and burn.

00:10:02I think he's pressing his ankle or something.

00:10:04Well, we know Commissioner Mick Foley is here from what we understand.

00:10:07Steve Austin has not yet arrived.

00:10:09Here we go.

00:10:09SmackDown.

00:10:10Here comes Jacqueline with a spear.

00:10:12And Lena wants Jacqueline payback for that vicious attack on Raw this past Monday night.

00:10:17Yeah, but you gotta admit, Jackie kicked Lena's butt on Raw.

00:10:20There was no doubt about that.

00:10:21But the Women's Champion tremendous suplex on Jacqueline.

00:10:25Come on, Jacqueline.

00:10:26You know, before this match, she was really talking some trash in the back about what she's-

00:10:30Oh!

00:10:31Look at Chaz from behind and Matt Hardy.

00:10:33What kind of man is that attacking Lena from behind Chaz?

00:10:36That's the rules.

00:10:37Intergender.

00:10:38What about Matt Hardy attacking Chaz from behind?

00:10:40Whoa, what do we got here?

00:10:41D'Lo and Jeff.

00:10:43A DDT to up Jacqueline and D'Lo Brown.

00:10:46Look out!

00:10:46Jeff Hardy up over the top, taking out Chaz.

00:10:49And now Lena left alone in the ring with Jacqueline.

00:10:53They're crashing and burning left and right here.

00:10:55And the Women's Champion taking it to the top right.

00:10:58She goes!

00:10:59Tied!

00:10:59Connects to Jacqueline.

00:11:01Here's the hook of the leg.

00:11:02Where's the ref?

00:11:02The referees outside with the Hardys and D'Lo and Chaz.

00:11:05Look at D'Lo!

00:11:06D'Lo!

00:11:06Oh my God!

00:11:07To Lena!

00:11:09Imagine the impact!

00:11:11And D'Lo puts Jacqueline on top of Lena.

00:11:13Look at this!

00:11:14Look at this!

00:11:15It's over!

00:11:16Chaz, look at the low down.

00:11:18Upset the Hardy Boys and Lena!

00:11:20Man, oh man!

00:11:20Jackie just beat the Women's Champion!

00:11:22And Matt Hardy, he saw what happened and he's gonna take it out on D'Lo Brown.

00:11:27Wait a minute!

00:11:27Come on, ref!

00:11:28Stop it!

00:11:28It's over!

00:11:29And a suplex for Matt Hardy to D'Lo!

00:11:31Don't be a sore loser, Matt!

00:11:33Jeff Hardy top rope!

00:11:34Look out!

00:11:35That's you too, Jeff Hardy!

00:11:36Jeff is going for a swan ton!

00:11:38And Chaz grabbed the leg of Jeff Hardy!

00:11:40And a low blow by Jacqueline to Matt Hardy!

00:11:42Well, the Hardy's own fault!

00:11:44And the one that wanted to continue the action after the match was over!

00:11:47Oh, look out!

00:11:47Jeff Hardy's in a bad way!

00:11:49He's in trouble!

00:11:50Chaz on the top rope!

00:11:51Look out!

00:11:51He's super close!

00:11:53Followed by the Lowdown!

00:11:54Man!

00:11:55And Lowdown doing a number on the Hardy Boys!

00:11:58Perhaps King sending a message to the Tag Team Champions!

00:12:02Loud and clear!

00:12:06And Lowdown!

00:12:08It was a sky high from D'Lo to Lita!

00:12:11Jacqueline picked up the pin on Lita!

00:12:13And what an upset for Lowdown and Jacqueline!

00:12:18Well, King, there's Commissioner McFoley!

00:12:19Is he awaiting the arrival of Stone Cold?

00:12:21He's not yet here!

00:12:22Wait a minute!

00:12:22He looks a little nervous!

00:12:24Wait a minute!

00:12:26Well, King, as you mentioned, it's put up or shut up time for Commissioner McFoley!

00:12:31Hey, Commissioner McFoley!

00:12:33Hey, Commissioner!

00:12:34Hey, how are you?

00:12:34How you doing?

00:12:35Have a nice day.

00:12:37He is waiting for Austin!

00:12:41Look at this!

00:12:42Okay, we're back on SmackDown!

00:12:44Have a seat!

00:12:44And we owe the honor of William Regal joining us here at ringside,

00:12:50the so-called goodwill ambassador to the United States.

00:12:52Welcome, William!

00:12:53I am incredibly excited to be here!

00:12:55I believe you have a European Championship on offer here at the WWF,

00:13:00and I am here because I know the fellow...

00:13:02Is it Al Snow?

00:13:03That's it!

00:13:04That embodies everything about Europe will be a fine, fine fellow!

00:13:10You may be in store for a big surprise!

00:13:13Well, the European Championship's on the line, and here comes the European Champion!

00:13:17And apparently King, as you look at the Omatron, Al Snow is representing

00:13:23Transylvania here tonight!

00:13:25What's up with that?

00:13:27What's up with that?

00:13:28And it is for the world-

00:13:29The World-Slaying Federation European Champion,

00:13:32making his wedding from Transylvania,

00:13:35some kind of a joke,

00:13:36weighing in at 256 pounds,

00:13:39is the European Champion...

00:13:41Yes!

00:13:42Ow!

00:13:43Snow!

00:13:43Well, Mr. Regal, your European Champion is representing

00:13:48Transylvania King, did you see the picture?

00:13:50Yeah!

00:13:50Look at the bat around his head!

00:13:52The picture is Hattie Munster!

00:13:54Yeah?

00:13:55He's another famous person from Transylvania!

00:13:57Oh, come on!

00:13:58Look at that!

00:13:59Al!

00:13:59Al, you've completely lost it!

00:14:01This is great!

00:14:03Do you not know...

00:14:04Wait a minute, you're from...

00:14:05You're from...

00:14:05Transylvania isn't even a country!

00:14:07What?

00:14:07It's Romania!

00:14:09It's have thousands and thousands of years of history,

00:14:12and it's embodied by a man dressed as a fictitious ghoul

00:14:15with a box of breakfast cereal!

00:14:18Well...

00:14:18That's Al Snow!

00:14:19I told you, you'd be a little surprised!

00:14:20He's a cheeky, bloody swine is what he is!

00:14:24Big story!

00:14:26Uh-oh!

00:14:26Big story!

00:14:28I should've stayed that shrine work for this guy!

00:14:31What's the win?

00:14:31Let the apples win a soda!

00:14:33And the way he did!

00:14:35222 pounds!

00:14:36That's his master...

00:14:37H-Pot!

00:14:38Well, King, this is a rematch of what we saw on SmackDown this past Thursday night!

00:14:42As a matter of fact, you just saw the Lust Food of the Week!

00:14:44It was X-Pac versus Al Snow before Stone Cold Steve Austin decided to interfere in yet another matchup!

00:14:51Well, that's another reason that Mick Foley's gotta do something tonight about Austin!

00:14:55I mean, he messed up a perfectly good match!

00:14:57Now we're having to have a rematch here!

00:14:59Well, Mr. Reza, we saw Commissioner Mick Foley before the commercial break waiting anxiously for the arrival of Stone Cold!

00:15:05Apparently, Commissioner Foley has some sort of decision to hand out tonight concerning Mr. Austin!

00:15:10And so he should do!

00:15:11If that man was in England, he would be just as anybody else over there!

00:15:16He would hold down the rules!

00:15:18That is why we have low crime rates!

00:15:20That is why my country is run with such dignity!

00:15:24He needs to lay down the law!

00:15:26Lay down the law!

00:15:26That's X-Pac against Al Snow, European title on the line!

00:15:29So if you were the Commissioner of Mr. Riggle, which you aren't, but if you were, what would you do

00:15:33about Stone Cold Steve Austin?

00:15:34Well, you know, Stone Cold Steve Austin came into the ring, and he gave me his stunner!

00:15:39When I was trying to quote Shakespeare to the masses, it was bloody ridiculous!

00:15:44Now, if that was in England, people hooligans!

00:15:46Wait a minute, cover by Al Snow, kick out after two!

00:15:48Ale-swilling hooligans!

00:15:50What is a hooligan?

00:15:51It's a foul little swine like Steve Austin!

00:15:55There you go!

00:15:55Get floating the paddy wagon and take him to the Knick, and if it was up to me, they'd be

00:15:59bloody flogged as well!

00:16:00What's a Knick?

00:16:01It's a police station!

00:16:02Oh!

00:16:03Okay, I don't know!

00:16:04X-Pac with a knockdown of Al Snow, and a European title on the line!

00:16:07What a spinning heel kick by Al Snow on X-Pac!

00:16:10Sometimes I get a Knick when I shave!

00:16:12I'm from Memphis, not Liverpool!

00:16:13Well, Mr. Riggle, you call yourself the Goodwill Ambassador to the United States.

00:16:17Exactly what is your purpose here?

00:16:19I am here to teach the people, my friends here, my friends here in America, how to conduct their lives

00:16:26in a better way!

00:16:27How to use good manners, and in fact, I have 375 ways, which I'll be teaching you over the next

00:16:32few weeks!

00:16:33What's wrong with the manners of the people?

00:16:34Wait a minute, Michael!

00:16:35See, there you go!

00:16:35Right there, you button in on him!

00:16:37Excuse me, Mr. Reed!

00:16:38Can you teach him some manners?

00:16:39Number one!

00:16:40A please and a thank you cost nothing!

00:16:43Very good, thank you for that remark!

00:16:45And X-Pac in control, the European Champion Al Snow whips him across the ring, nobody hold for Al Snow!

00:16:51Michael, you didn't even stand up when our guest Mr. Riggle arrived here!

00:16:53You gotta show some manners!

00:16:56You're on your way up!

00:16:57We know that all these people here have busy lives, they don't have the skills to teach their children the

00:17:05things that they need to survive in life, and that's why I'm here to help!

00:17:08I don't think X-Pac's gonna be having any children!

00:17:10Well, he went for the Bronco Buster and missed, and the European Champion with the title on the line, in

00:17:14control of X-Pac!

00:17:15Who would you like to see represent your continent, Mr. Riggle? Would it be Al Snow or X-Pac?

00:17:21Well, I am absolutely in shock about Al Snow, the way he has come out here and made a mockery

00:17:26out of the European Champion.

00:17:28Boots dumped by Al Snow, hooks the leg, there's two!

00:17:31X-Pac just gets the shoulder up!

00:17:32So in other words, wait a minute now, I don't want to disagree with you, but you're telling me there's

00:17:36no, they don't have like vampires?

00:17:37Look at, look at the vampire!

00:17:39It's even got some fangs!

00:17:40Well, you know, it is Halloween.

00:17:41What's this one about?

00:17:42It's about Transylvania!

00:17:43You're telling me there's no such thing as Transylvania?

00:17:46That is why I'm here, is to teach people.

00:17:48Whoa!

00:17:50The correct way to go about their lives, and put an end to all malarkey, such as...

00:17:54Oh, look at that, I'll step up over the top, and...

00:17:56Watch it, watch it!

00:17:57Watch it, watch it!

00:17:57Right into Mr. Riggle!

00:17:59Hey, wait a minute!

00:17:59What is William Riggle doing?

00:18:01Look at this!

00:18:02Well, that wasn't very good manners.

00:18:04Well, it was, I mean, you know...

00:18:06Oh, look at it!

00:18:07It's Billy Gunn!

00:18:08It's Billy Gunn!

00:18:09Famous on X-Pac!

00:18:11It's Billy Gunn!

00:18:12Hey, Rick, did you see that?

00:18:14And here's the cover by Al Snow!

00:18:16No!

00:18:17Billy Gunn may have caught X-Pac the European title!

00:18:21Maybe, maybe!

00:18:23What happened there?

00:18:24Al Snow has besmirched Europe!

00:18:26He has besmirched me by being a European, and I am outraged!

00:18:30This is not the last!

00:18:32Believe me!

00:18:33Believe me!

00:18:33What was Billy Gunn who caused X-Pac the European title?

00:18:37Billy Gunn with retribution against a member of what used to be DX, and it was DX who put

00:18:42Billy Gunn out of action earlier this year, when Billy was kicked out of the group!

00:18:47Well, there's Mick Foley!

00:18:48Mick Foley, the Commissioner, awaiting the arrival of Stone Cold Steve Austin!

00:18:52What's he gonna do?

00:18:53Do you have any idea?

00:18:54Commissioner Mick Foley, wait a minute!

00:18:55Oh!

00:18:55We're gonna find out!

00:18:56Here comes Austin!

00:18:59Boy, Austin's driving that big black limousine!

00:19:01What are you gonna do?

00:19:02Fire him?

00:19:04What?

00:19:04Oh, Mick Foley's upset!

00:19:06What?

00:19:07It's Stephanie!

00:19:09Stephanie's here!

00:19:12This past Monday, WWF CEO Linda McMahon led a troop of WWF superstars to the East Lawn

00:19:18of the United States Capitol building.

00:19:20The purpose was to reaffirm the SmackDown Challenge in a rally WWF style.

00:19:25Young people do want to vote, they just haven't been spoken to yet.

00:19:29It's truly important that Bush and Gore accept the SmackDown Challenge because it's time for

00:19:34us to make a difference.

00:19:35To the Vice President, Al Gore, and to George W. Bush, The Rock says his patience is running

00:19:44a little thin.

00:19:45In the event you decide not to come to SmackDown and turn your back on the youth of America,

00:19:51then The Rock says he'll in turn tell 14 million eligible voters that you simply don't

00:19:58care.

00:19:59Well, King, I wonder what right dissension thinks about the SmackDown Your Vote campaign.

00:20:04WWF has registered over 110,000 young Americans to vote in November.

00:20:08In fact, you saw Bush and Gore debating in Boston earlier this week.

00:20:13I wish they'd, uh, they'd take up our SmackDown Challenge and debate for the young Americans

00:20:18here on SmackDown.

00:20:20Unbelievable.

00:20:35You know, the problem with these guys is, they're trying to convince us that the Constitution

00:20:39is unconstitutional.

00:20:40Well, they have a massive campaign underway to forecott Playboy with China on the cover and

00:20:45back down Raw this past Monday Night King.

00:20:46It reminded me of the old days of Book Birdie.

00:20:49They were actually birdying copies of Playboy.

00:20:51I want to tell you, this made me sick.

00:20:53I mean, really sick.

00:20:54You see those beautiful pages going up in smoke?

00:20:57Oh!

00:20:58Let's bring it up here tomorrow right now!

00:21:00They remind you sort of a, uh, Salem witch hunt?

00:21:04I don't know.

00:21:05I didn't think about that.

00:21:06I just thought about those lovely pictures of China going to waste!

00:21:11And Guerrero's first big accompaniment, Wonder Woman China, from El Paso Dixie, weighing

00:21:17in at 220 pounds, Intercontinental Champion, Eddie Guerrero!

00:21:24Okay, Eddie Guerrero has been a lot more supportive of China as of late.

00:21:28Of course, China Eddie Guerrero's fiancé, and you know, China has been so busy just sitting

00:21:33around the country all kinds of appearances to promote her, uh, her cover on Playboy,

00:21:37but Eddie Guerrero really seems to turn over in his leaf.

00:21:40He's really proud of China.

00:21:41Well, you know, I, I, I guess I, I would like to say I would be as open-minded as

00:21:46Eddie Guerrero,

00:21:47but just think!

00:21:48He gets to open up the page of the Playboy, games at those lovely pictures, ha!

00:21:52And then just look over and see the real thing in real life!

00:21:55Wow!

00:21:56He's a lucky guy!

00:21:59And his tag team partner is, at a trombined weight of 578 pounds, Bradshaw and Baruch,

00:22:06the Acolytes!

00:22:08Well, if I had to pick two guys to back me up in a six-man matchup, you're looking at

00:22:12them!

00:22:12The Acolytes, Baruch and Bradshaw along with Eddie Guerrero, and look at the look of fear

00:22:16in the eyes of Steven Richards!

00:22:18Yeah, good!

00:22:18You know, the Acolytes have a huge score to settle with Right to Censor as well.

00:22:22Steven Richards has been trying to censor the Acolytes' beer drinking and cigar smoking!

00:22:26Ha!

00:22:26I'd like to see the Acolytes knock Steven Richards' head!

00:22:29Well, in fact, they're somewhere in about the ninth row!

00:22:31Oh, it's Bradshaw to start things off against the newest member of Right to Censor, Val Minas!

00:22:36And you know, ironically, King, it was the members of Right to Censor and Eddie Guerrero,

00:22:40who were in a matchup on Raw this past Monday night, in which Stone Cold Steve Austin interfered,

00:22:45delivering a number of stunners, which is Force Commissioner Mick Foley into the predicament

00:22:49he faces here tonight.

00:22:51Yeah, speaking of that predicament, my sources are telling me, you know,

00:22:54I get people telling me stuff in my ear here all the time.

00:22:56They're telling me that Foley is still out there waiting for Stone Cold to arrive.

00:23:00You thought he was here?

00:23:01Turned out to be Stephanie a few minutes ago.

00:23:03And here's the cover viper who clicks the leg.

00:23:05There's two, and Val Minas kicks out.

00:23:06Speaking of Stephanie, she did arrive here alone, King.

00:23:09I didn't see Triple H with him, which brings us back to the point of

00:23:12where's their relationship on and what happened on Raw?

00:23:15That marriage is on the rocks, big time.

00:23:17Val Minas ripped into the corner by Baruka.

00:23:19There's the elbow by the former Intercontinental Champion.

00:23:21Triple H has got to be careful.

00:23:24You've got to be careful not to ever make your wife cry,

00:23:27because some judge may wipe away her tears with your checkbook.

00:23:30Oh, you know who needs to be careful here tonight?

00:23:33Who's that?

00:23:34The Rock, the WWE Champion, putting that coveted gold on the line

00:23:37against the Big Red Machine Kane.

00:23:39Are you sure you can't take a sick day or something?

00:23:41That's what I'd do about it.

00:23:42Well, The Rock would be here if he was on his death pit.

00:23:45Kane, you know that as well as I do, a very proud champion.

00:23:48Here is the Intercontinental Champion, Eddie Guerrero,

00:23:51hammering away on The Goodfather.

00:23:53Take it to it, Eddie.

00:23:54Come on, man.

00:23:55I'm gonna tell you something.

00:23:56I still can't believe when I look up in the ring and see The Goodfather and Val

00:23:59Venus.

00:24:00I mean, these two guys used to love women.

00:24:02Oh, man.

00:24:03Val Venus from behind.

00:24:05And a knock down by The Goodfather.

00:24:07Here comes the tag to the big Bull Buchanan and Kane.

00:24:09What is Bull Buchanan wearing on his head?

00:24:12What is that?

00:24:13A do-rag, I think.

00:24:14I don't know.

00:24:14Right, the sensors into do-rags?

00:24:17Maybe it's RTC yamaka or something like that.

00:24:20Dilligan Bull handling away on Farouk.

00:24:23Come on, man.

00:24:23Again, Commissioner McFoley.

00:24:24People are telling us, rumors are that Commissioner McFoley will make his decision tonight

00:24:29regarding Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:24:31And, you know, Commissioner McFoley has to do something.

00:24:33His power has been challenged by the Rattlesnake.

00:24:36And what about the Rattlesnake on Raw?

00:24:38Here's the cover by Valdez.

00:24:40Grandshaw breaks up the three-town.

00:24:41Austin on Raw actually stunning the commission in the middle of the room.

00:24:44Well, that did it.

00:24:45That was it right there.

00:24:46That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

00:24:49Check it out, Chyna.

00:24:50I can't help it.

00:24:51Well, you know, I can't get my eyes off of her.

00:24:53She can.

00:24:53But anyway, you know, Chyna could be absolutely anywhere.

00:24:56She could be a million places tonight.

00:24:57Plug in the Playboy magazine.

00:24:59I mean, sign an autograph.

00:25:00But no, she's here.

00:25:02Supporting her meaning.

00:25:03That's admirable, isn't it?

00:25:05Well, Chyna is a great woman, and it's great to see their relationship.

00:25:08Doing so well here.

00:25:10Recent weeks, of course, Chyna and Eddie engaged to be married.

00:25:13And Farouk's in trouble after the elbow from Valdez.

00:25:15And here's the cover on Farouk.

00:25:18Couldn't get it.

00:25:19There's two in Farouk.

00:25:20With an air fall.

00:25:21And you know, of course, Chyna and Eddie are gonna get married.

00:25:23You think you and I get invited to the wedding?

00:25:25It'd be great, wouldn't it?

00:25:26You know, it'd be great.

00:25:27Maybe they'll get married here on SmackDown.

00:25:28Here they use lowriders instead of limos.

00:25:30Ha!

00:25:31Yes!

00:25:32Here's the tag into the Goodfather.

00:25:33And Goodfather hammered away on Farouk.

00:25:35Right to center has been in control of this matchup since the get-go.

00:25:38Another cover.

00:25:38Hooks the leg again.

00:25:39And Farouk gets the shoulder up.

00:25:41Come on, baby, get it.

00:25:42Okay, we want to remind all our fans out west.

00:25:44World Wrestling Federation coming to California for the final time this year.

00:25:48We'll be at San Jose on Saturday.

00:25:50Big shows in Fresno and San Diego on Sunday.

00:25:54And what a spinebuster by Farouk, who needs to make a tag to his partners.

00:25:59I think he's gonna get there.

00:26:02Yes!

00:26:03Valvinus comes to the Goodfather.

00:26:05Here we go.

00:26:05Here comes Eddie Guerrero.

00:26:06And Eddie and the Goodfather.

00:26:08It'll leave him back.

00:26:09And Eddie Guerrero.

00:26:10Give him the right hand to the Goodfather.

00:26:11The Intercontinental Champion.

00:26:13A house of fire.

00:26:15The Goodfather, Eddie Guerrero is so quick.

00:26:18Quick as a cat as he makes it to the top rope.

00:26:20Goodfather in trouble.

00:26:21Look at that.

00:26:21This will try to kick up underneath the chin.

00:26:23Eddie Guerrero with the cover.

00:26:24Hooks the leg.

00:26:25There's one.

00:26:25There's two.

00:26:26And Valvinus breaks up the three count.

00:26:27Look at Eddie Guerrero and the Goodfather.

00:26:29Maybe a size difference there, but not the size of the fight in the heart.

00:26:32That's a count.

00:26:33Knocking Valvinus over the top rope.

00:26:35Eddie Guerrero again.

00:26:36High-risk maneuver.

00:26:37Good luck.

00:26:38What a slam as he catches Guerrero in midair.

00:26:40The cover.

00:26:41And it's over.

00:26:42Like the sensor defeats Eddie Guerrero in the acolytes.

00:26:45Heavy out of room, maybe size does matter.

00:26:47Hey, look at China.

00:26:48Steven into the ring.

00:26:49China cuts him off the pass.

00:26:51Yes, did he.

00:26:51From the close line.

00:26:52Look at that.

00:26:55Steven Richards up over the top rope.

00:26:57But China's in trouble.

00:26:58Goodfather had him.

00:26:59And here come the acolytes.

00:27:00The Cavalry's arrived.

00:27:03That was worth it.

00:27:05Just to see China clothesline that idiot Steven Richards.

00:27:09The damage done by Wright DeSensor.

00:27:12The Goodfather catching Eddie Guerrero in midair in the slam.

00:27:15And Wright DeSensor picks up the victory here on SmackDown.

00:27:19Well, at least Eddie and China are getting along, Kate.

00:27:22Well, that's more than we can say for Steph and Triple H.

00:27:25What's going to happen with them tonight?

00:27:26I don't know.

00:27:33Hi.

00:27:35What are you doing?

00:27:36Where are you going here?

00:27:37I thought I told you to stay at the hotel.

00:27:39Well, you told me maybe I should stay at the hotel.

00:27:42And besides, Hunter, since when do you tell me what to do?

00:27:46Steph, I'm not telling...

00:27:49You know, we've been through this a million times now.

00:27:51Okay?

00:27:53You are a target at ringside.

00:27:55You should not be at ringside anymore.

00:27:56I am not a target.

00:27:58Yes, you are a target.

00:27:59How many times now has Kurt Angle attacked you?

00:28:01How many times have you been headbutted at ringside?

00:28:03How many times have you been hurt?

00:28:04How many times have I had to carry you from ringside to the back?

00:28:09Very rarely.

00:28:09No, not very rarely.

00:28:11It happens all the time.

00:28:12I'm getting tired of it.

00:28:13Steph, it's taking away from my...

00:28:15Look what happened Monday.

00:28:16Look what happened Monday.

00:28:17I had a bad feeling about it.

00:28:19I tell you to stay in the back.

00:28:20And what did you do?

00:28:21You came out anyways.

00:28:23Well, and you were in trouble.

00:28:24It doesn't matter if I was in trouble or not, Steph.

00:28:26You came to ringside, you got in trouble.

00:28:29And I had to protect you.

00:28:30And what happened?

00:28:31You cost me the match.

00:28:33So you cost me the number one contender slot at No Mercy.

00:28:38I did not.

00:28:39Yes, you did.

00:28:40No, Benoit did.

00:28:41Not me.

00:28:42Steph, listen.

00:28:43Don't get upset, alright?

00:28:45This is a business decision.

00:28:46This is no...

00:28:47In no way reflects how I feel about you personally.

00:28:50You know I love you.

00:28:51Come on, you know this doesn't...

00:28:52This is not personal.

00:28:54You knew in the beginning this was going to be difficult.

00:28:57Business and personal.

00:28:57We always said we would keep it separate.

00:28:59I don't want to see you get hurt out there.

00:29:02Okay?

00:29:02So I want it to be separate.

00:29:04I've made a business decision.

00:29:06And the business decision is that you are a liability at ringside.

00:29:11And I don't want you out there with me anymore.

00:29:13I can't sit back and watch you get hurt.

00:29:16I'm a liability?

00:29:20Well, maybe I just shouldn't even be here at all then.

00:29:23Steph.

00:29:24Excuse me.

00:29:25Steph, come on.

00:29:28I'll see you at the hotel.

00:29:31Oh my gosh, Michael.

00:29:33I think Stephanie just walked out on Triple H and...

00:29:35And maybe for good.

00:29:36What do you think?

00:29:37Well, McFully's growing impatient, King.

00:29:39Waiting for Stone Cold.

00:29:46Well, Michael, my mood is starting to change right now.

00:29:50It's going from bad to worse.

00:29:53Are we kicked off King this past Sunday night, King live on MTV?

00:30:13You gotta be kidding me.

00:30:18This guy couldn't entertain a thought.

00:30:20Yeah.

00:30:21I will reserve my comments for my show Sunday Night Heat.

00:30:27It's going to be live on MTV.

00:30:30So he's gonna be here again.

00:30:32Boy.

00:30:35Now, here's Raven.

00:30:37My gosh.

00:30:38Is this their new introductions?

00:30:41We called him Ed McMahon last week.

00:30:43Well, he just wants to be a part of a team.

00:30:45He thinks you adhere to do a team of announcers.

00:30:47Please.

00:30:49Well, I guess he's Mr. Team.

00:30:50Which one are you?

00:30:55Here's Raven.

00:30:57So Raven on his way to the ring.

00:30:59He's gonna team up with Taz in his tag team matchup against two angry men.

00:31:03Bubba Ray and Devon the Dudley boys.

00:31:05Let's show you what happened on Raw two weeks ago, King.

00:31:08It was one-on-one.

00:31:09Taz was Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:31:11Taz was in trouble when his little friend Raven decided to get involved.

00:31:15Well, I didn't get to see this because that idiot Raven had already come by and DDT'd me.

00:31:20There it rings out, then he goes in the ring and does the same thing to Bubba Ray and

00:31:25the match.

00:31:26Well, Raven's got a microphone and some more self-pity, I guess.

00:31:30First of all, I'd like to protest the shameless attempt by this horrid piece of urban plight called

00:31:38the city of Baltimore for attempting to ride on my coattails by naming their third-rate football team after me,

00:31:50the Ravens.

00:31:50What about you?

00:31:52What about Raven?

00:31:54What about you?

00:32:10What about Raven?

00:32:19What about Raven?

00:32:21And Devon wasted little time.

00:32:23They cannot wait to get their hands on Taz and Raven

00:32:26for what's happened here over the past few weeks

00:32:29in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:32:30And this should be a great matchup.

00:32:33And if Art Modell, who owns the Baltimore Ravens,

00:32:36ever gets a look at this idiot,

00:32:38he may change the name of his football team.

00:32:41And Taz and Devon set the lockup center of the ring

00:32:43and Devon's ugly on the offensive early on in this matchup.

00:32:47Okay, what about what Triple H just said

00:32:49to Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, his wife,

00:32:51called her a liability at ringside.

00:32:54Triple H doesn't want her out at ringside anymore.

00:32:56It's too dangerous.

00:32:57I think at Raven, Devon up over the top of the world.

00:32:59I can understand that in a sense because it's,

00:33:01I mean, it is dangerous for Stephanie to be out here at ringside.

00:33:04Oh my gosh.

00:33:05Devon's head bouncing off that barricade.

00:33:08Raven's not even the legal man taking it to Devon.

00:33:10I think Triple H just loves Stephanie so much

00:33:13and it's understandable that he just doesn't want her

00:33:15to get hurt in any kind of way.

00:33:16Anytime you're at ringside, I mean, you're in danger.

00:33:20Well, I can see that point, King.

00:33:21And you know, Triple H does have an argument.

00:33:22I mean, don't you worry about me when I'm out here at ringside?

00:33:26Yeah, all the time.

00:33:26And I'm sure we haven't heard the last of this Triple H Stephanie situation.

00:33:31Devon whipped into the corner.

00:33:32There's the double team by Taz and Raven.

00:33:34I wanna thank all you WWF fans for joining us on TNN this past Monday night for Raw King.

00:33:39Another record setting night for Raw's War on TNN thanks to the royalty of all the great WWF fans.

00:33:46Unbelievable.

00:33:47Taz Mission, Taz Mission locked in on Devon.

00:33:50The Taz Mission locked in by Taz.

00:33:52That's it.

00:33:52And Devon's in trouble.

00:33:54In trouble, he's done.

00:33:55Well, the arms down once, it goes down three times, it's over.

00:33:58And here's what that feels like.

00:33:59And Bubba Raw into the ring and breaks on with Taz Mission.

00:34:02Good.

00:34:03I think Devon was out.

00:34:05Where was Bubba Ray when I needed him and Unforgiven?

00:34:07That shock to the kidneys of Taz by Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:34:10Devon was out from the Taz Mission and now Taz.

00:34:13What is this?

00:34:16And he landed right on his thug butt.

00:34:19T-9 needs to make a tag.

00:34:21Taz needs to make a tag to Raven as well.

00:34:23Uh-oh.

00:34:24You know these people want to hit Baltimore, don't you?

00:34:26Here comes Bubba Ray with a clothesline to Raven.

00:34:29Put it to him.

00:34:30And Bubba Ray Dudley taking it to Raven.

00:34:33Sidewalk slam.

00:34:34I think you know what the people here at Baltimore want, don't you?

00:34:36Yeah, the table.

00:34:37No, I thought you were going to say better baseball teams.

00:34:39Yeah, you're right.

00:34:40They locked tables.

00:34:41Oh, look out.

00:34:42Wait, listen.

00:34:42Listen closely.

00:34:44We're going to hear it.

00:34:45What is that?

00:34:48Here's Devon top rope.

00:34:49Oh, Mr. Raymond.

00:34:51And Raymond into the lower extremities goes Devon.

00:34:55Oh, look out.

00:34:56You may get your wish, these fans.

00:34:57You may get their wish.

00:35:00Look up.

00:35:03Devon.

00:35:04Come already come up for the tables.

00:35:07Devon with a shot to Taz off the apron.

00:35:09Oh, look at Taz.

00:35:10And Taz from behind to Devon.

00:35:12What are you doing here?

00:35:13The ring bells.

00:35:14Losing control.

00:35:15Wait a minute, ref.

00:35:16Bubba Ray with the ring bell.

00:35:19Taz has the ring bell.

00:35:21Taz has the ring bell.

00:35:22Devon's in trouble.

00:35:24That big trouble.

00:35:25Look at that lake.

00:35:26Right on the middle.

00:35:27Metal bell.

00:35:28I dropped toe holes into the metal bell.

00:35:30Bubba Ray into the ring.

00:35:32Knocking down Taz and Raven.

00:35:33Bubba Ray with the ring bell now.

00:35:35Oh, head to Taz.

00:35:36Ring the bell, ring the bell.

00:35:37To Raven as well.

00:35:39Great.

00:35:39And the referee's gonna call for the bell.

00:35:42What?

00:35:42They can't because the bell's in the ring.

00:35:44There is no bell.

00:35:46Bell's a bit wrong.

00:35:48The double is a bit disqualified by the referee.

00:35:51The winner of this season is going to pick up the ring king.

00:35:54Taz and Raven.

00:35:56Well, right now they don't look exactly like winners.

00:35:59What's Bubba Ray doing?

00:36:00Uh-oh.

00:36:01The hardware's coming out.

00:36:03Yoo-hoo.

00:36:04Bubba Ray with the table in the ring.

00:36:07Well, they got nothing to lose now.

00:36:08They've already been disqualified.

00:36:11Bubba Ray, Dudley Stone will get that look in his eyes.

00:36:14He's glazed over.

00:36:16That euphoric look that Bubba Ray Dudley gets.

00:36:19Look, look.

00:36:21Table's been set up.

00:36:24No.

00:36:25Raven better get out of there if he can.

00:36:27It's too late.

00:36:29This bird is gonna fly.

00:36:31But he ain't gonna like the way he lands.

00:36:34Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:36:35Oh, yeah.

00:36:36Raven under the table.

00:36:38Beautiful.

00:36:40Raven and Taz pick up the match.

00:36:42The way it means this qualification to King, as you said.

00:36:45Raven and Taz don't look like winners in this matchup.

00:36:49I'd say Raven, never more.

00:36:54Bubba Ray and Devon gaining a measure of revenge

00:36:57against Taz and Raven.

00:36:59Hey!

00:37:00It's Stone Cold!

00:37:01Stone Cold is here!

00:37:03Here we go!

00:37:03The Rattlesnake is here!

00:37:05And his fate lies in the head of Commissioner Foley!

00:37:09Somebody tell Foley!

00:37:11The Rattlesnake's here!

00:37:12Okay, we've been told Mick Foley knows the Rattlesnake's here!

00:37:16Commissioner Mick Foley is living!

00:37:19King, what will his decision be?

00:37:21Will not be the fate of the Rattlesnake!

00:37:26Well, we're back on SmackDown, King.

00:37:28Where's Stephanie going?

00:37:30Well, apparently she's leaving.

00:37:31I mean, Triple H just told Stephanie she's a liability at ringside

00:37:35that it's too dangerous for Stephanie to be out there.

00:37:39And...

00:37:39Well, King, is she leaving or not?

00:37:42What is that all about?

00:37:45And here comes Commissioner Mick Foley.

00:37:47Oh, my!

00:37:48And he pulled the break.

00:37:48Commissioner Mick Foley was living after he was told our sources say

00:37:52that Austin did arrive here in Baltimore for SmackDown.

00:37:56What are you gonna do, Rodney?

00:37:58Ha-ha!

00:37:58Put up or shut up?

00:38:00Who's he signaling to?

00:38:01I don't know.

00:38:02Could be anybody.

00:38:04Wait a minute.

00:38:06What's this?

00:38:07Mick Foley!

00:38:08We got our SWAT team!

00:38:12King, they're cops!

00:38:14They're police officers!

00:38:15Well, I wanna tell you,

00:38:16this may be the smartest thing that Foley's ever done.

00:38:19You don't wanna get stunned again by Steve Austin.

00:38:21He's bringing protection!

00:38:23Well, Commissioner Mick Foley is at a crossroads tonight, King,

00:38:26after being stunned by Stone Cold on Raw Monday night.

00:38:29He needs to do something about Austin.

00:38:31But what?

00:38:32Any decision's gonna be unpopular,

00:38:34but Mick Foley did warn Stone Cold,

00:38:36don't get involved in any more match-ups!

00:38:39And Stone Cold did!

00:38:40Well, Austin's gone too far,

00:38:43and apparently it's fixing to come to an end right now.

00:38:46Well, I guess everybody can see,

00:38:49by the looks of things,

00:38:52I've got something important to say here tonight.

00:38:56And I have a feeling

00:38:58that not many of you are going to like it.

00:39:01Uh-oh.

00:39:04Least of all me.

00:39:06What I want you to understand

00:39:08is it's Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:39:11Ha!

00:39:12Ask and you shall receive!

00:39:14Stone Cold wasted little time!

00:39:17The Texas Rattlestakes!

00:39:20And look at the look!

00:39:23It's Stone Cold's eyes,

00:39:25training to feed on Commissioner Mick Foley!

00:39:30Well, you better get those cops in the ring quick!

00:39:32It was on Raw 29 King that Stone Cold stuck the Commissioner!

00:39:37Before Commissioner Mick Foley could inform us!

00:39:40About his decision,

00:39:43on Stone Cold Steve Austin!

00:39:47Oh, you can feel the intensity, King!

00:39:51The rattlesnake's all business!

00:39:52He's not going around raising his hands!

00:39:53I got one question.

00:39:54I just want to know if you found the coward

00:39:56that ran me over at Survivor Series.

00:39:58Let me explain something first!

00:40:00It's a yes or no question!

00:40:02Well, Steve, I'm trying to explain!

00:40:04It's a yes or no question!

00:40:06Did you find a man or not?

00:40:08No, Steve Austin, I did not!

00:40:13Uh-oh!

00:40:16If you didn't find a man that ran me over,

00:40:19I can tell by all the mealy-mouthed jackass

00:40:22you got surrounding the ring!

00:40:25What?!

00:40:27You got something real important to say,

00:40:29so why don't you just go ahead and spit it out!

00:40:30I agreed to take this job under two conditions!

00:40:34One, I was going to have fun doing it!

00:40:37And number two, as a retired wrestler,

00:40:39nobody was going to take their aggressions out on me

00:40:42by putting their hands on me!

00:40:45Now, to be damn honest with you, Steve,

00:40:47I had a good time until you showed up!

00:40:50Now, not only is my job not fun, my job sucks!

00:40:55Oh, boy!

00:40:57Second since you got here,

00:40:59you saw fit to put your hands on me!

00:41:03Hell, Steve, you didn't just put your hands on me!

00:41:05You embarrassed me!

00:41:06You beat the hell out of me!

00:41:08On national television!

00:41:11Yeah, he did that, alright!

00:41:13So whether you want to believe it or not,

00:41:15maybe you don't trust anybody,

00:41:16but the fact is, I have been on your side!

00:41:19I've given you chances, I've been patient,

00:41:22and you have not been cooperative!

00:41:25So you really leave me no choice!

00:41:30Oh, boy!

00:41:32Let me tell you something about fun, Mick.

00:41:34You want to talk about fun?

00:41:35Fun for Stone Cold Steve Austin

00:41:37was to come back to this very ring!

00:41:43Fun for Stone Cold Steve Austin

00:41:45is finding the man that ran me down

00:41:48and torture him like the dog that he is!

00:41:51No!

00:41:52That would be fun for Austin!

00:41:54That would be fun for Austin!

00:41:54When you talk about being a commissioner

00:41:56and getting beat up,

00:42:00you're the toughest man I've ever been in the ring with!

00:42:03You got a Stone Cold Stunner

00:42:04because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time,

00:42:07and that's as close to an apology

00:42:09as you're gonna get from me!

00:42:12That was pretty close to an apology!

00:42:15You know, before I got hurt, Mick,

00:42:17I ate, slept, drank the World Wrestling Federation.

00:42:22Since I got taken out,

00:42:24I eat, sleep, and drink revenge!

00:42:30You try walking to your mailbox for a solid year,

00:42:34when you ain't working,

00:42:36them paychecks stop coming,

00:42:38but they'll send all the bills

00:42:39every single day of the week!

00:42:42A man's gotta eat, Mick!

00:42:45I don't think you really understand what I'm saying, so...

00:42:50If you can understand the facts

00:42:52Stone Cold Steve Austin wants his revenge,

00:42:55give me a hell yeah!

00:42:56Hell yeah!

00:42:58And if you can understand,

00:43:00a man's gotta eat,

00:43:01give me a hell yeah!

00:43:03Hell yeah!

00:43:06There's a little brain in this head, Mick.

00:43:09I ain't saying this necessarily 100%,

00:43:11but this is the way I think,

00:43:13and this is the way I am,

00:43:14and I ain't gonna change for you or nobody,

00:43:18and there ain't nothing you can do about it!

00:43:23Well, what can you do, Commish?

00:43:26When I headed down to the ring on Monday night,

00:43:29you know what I'm thinking?

00:43:30I'm thinking if there was anybody else interfering in matches,

00:43:32they'd be gone and out of the WWE app.

00:43:35And I'm also thinking about 1991 and 1992,

00:43:38Steve Austin and Mick Foley splitting a $20 room to save a few bucks,

00:43:42riding in a little crap box car to save a few bucks.

00:43:46So I'm thinking maybe I'll just try to save face with the boys.

00:43:49Maybe I'll give Steve Austin a little fine,

00:43:52a little slap on the wrist,

00:43:53thinking by this point in your life,

00:43:54you saved enough money that no matter fine I give you,

00:43:57it's gonna mean a damn anyway.

00:43:59But then what you did, Steve,

00:44:01you went and you put your hands on me.

00:44:03And all of a sudden my decision changed because you left me no other alternative,

00:44:09but starting now until we find out who ran you over to suspend you indefinitely.

00:44:15Whoa!

00:44:18He's gone!

00:44:20That's as good as being fired right there!

00:44:22You're suspended, Austin!

00:44:23You're out of here!

00:44:24Suspended indefinitely!

00:44:26That's it!

00:44:26He's history!

00:44:27Well then I'm gonna ask you,

00:44:30one time,

00:44:32Stone Cold Steve Austin,

00:44:34to Mick Foley,

00:44:37to reconsider.

00:44:41Reconsider?

00:44:43Is his decision final?

00:44:44What can he do?

00:44:55When I said that you left me no alternative,

00:44:59that was my answer.

00:45:01The answer is no.

00:45:06Oh my gosh.

00:45:07And when you said no,

00:45:09you left Stone Cold Steve Austin no alternative.

00:45:13Oh no!

00:45:15Stone Cold!

00:45:15Another star to Commissioner McFoley from the Rattlesnake!

00:45:19Well he's got down the motherfucker!

00:45:21He's gone!

00:45:22He's history!

00:45:22He's out of here!

00:45:24That's what Stone Cold thinks about Commissioner McFoley's indefinite suspension!

00:45:30It's gonna be on fire!

00:45:32Stone Cold Steve Austin can't trade and work for 10 months to come back!

00:45:37And now he came back to the World Wrestling Federation!

00:45:40Only to have it taken away from him again!

00:45:43Look at this!

00:45:44He's out of a job!

00:45:46He's out of work!

00:45:47And he's supposed to be out of the field!

00:45:48And he's supposed to be out of the field!

00:46:01And he's not caught!

00:46:04They scored!

00:46:30A touchdown 54!

00:46:34left me no alternative, that was my answer, the answer is no, and when you said no, you

00:46:46left Stone Cold Steve Austin, no alternative, and when you said no, you left Stone Cold

00:47:04Steve Austin, no alternative, I'm gonna tell you Michael, the Rattlesnake sealed his own fate, after stunning Commissioner Mick Foley,

00:47:15he was escorted out of the building by the cops, and I understand he was put in his car, and

00:47:19he is gone to, who knows where, King after all that Stone Cold Steve Austin has endured over the past

00:47:2510 months, in the Survivor Series last November when he was hit by a car, he came within this close

00:47:30of ending his career, and then the 10 months of battling back to the world,

00:47:34wrestling federation, the number of hours in the gym, the isolation, he was all alone, talked about going to the

00:47:39mailbox to get the bills, the paycheck wasn't coming in, and then his triumphant return here to the world wrestling

00:47:44federation, only to have that all taken away, here tonight with this indefinite suspension, well last November he was eliminated

00:47:50by a black Lincoln, tonight Stone Cold was eliminated by Commissioner Mick Foley, but Foley was backed against the wall,

00:47:56he did the only thing he could do.

00:48:05And here comes the number one contender for the world wrestling federation title king,

00:48:09is a six man tag team at Smiddle for a fall.

00:48:15He is playing in from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 237 pounds, Kurt Angle.

00:48:24Kurt Angle will face the champion, at no mercy.

00:48:29Well tonight, Smackdown is brought to you by Activision's Spider-Man for PlayStation, and Game Boy Color consoles.

00:48:36And by Burger King, got the urge, and by WWFShopZone.com, the biggest WWF store in the world, log on

00:48:50You know, your Olympic hero is on a roll.

00:48:57That's true, it's true.

00:48:59A bit of a streak, if you will.

00:49:03I beat The Rock last week.

00:49:05It's true.

00:49:08I beat Triple H last Monday night.

00:49:10That's true also.

00:49:12That's true also.

00:49:12He did that.

00:49:13I'm sure that I will beat my opponents tonight.

00:49:18And at no mercy, I will beat whoever holds the title at the time, and become your next WWF champion.

00:49:27Wow.

00:49:28Our next champion, Michael.

00:49:30Won't you be proud?

00:49:32And it's only fitting that I'm on this streak here in Baltimore, Maryland.

00:49:36Home of the legendary Cal Ripken.

00:49:39Yeah, he got quite a streak.

00:49:41The Iron Man for the Baltimore Orioles.

00:49:44Because unlike Cal Ripken, my streak will actually mean something.

00:49:49Oh.

00:49:53This guy's something, isn't he?

00:49:55Because unlike Cal Ripken, I will end this streak on top.

00:50:01Not some washed up, over the hill has been, who's playing with a bunch of losers.

00:50:07It's true.

00:50:08Oh, it's true.

00:50:09He's talking about a Hall of Famer, King.

00:50:10Come on.

00:50:12You don't mind sticking the knife right in there, does he?

00:50:14And I don't like to talk about losers.

00:50:16I like to talk about winners.

00:50:19So let me introduce you to my tag team partners.

00:50:24Two-time and soon-to-be three-time WWF Tag Team Champions, my pals, Edge and Christian.

00:50:32Hey!

00:50:33Those guys are a couple of winners.

00:50:34His pals.

00:50:35Well, King, I'll tell you this.

00:50:36Edge and Christian will not become three-time Tag Team Champions, as long as the Hardy Boys

00:50:41have the titles.

00:50:42Because remember, the Mr. McFoley, he's not going to give them another shot at the tag titles

00:50:46as long as they just have them.

00:50:47Right, that was another.

00:50:49Foley snafu if you asked me.

00:50:51Well, I agree with you, King.

00:50:52What you said earlier on, Commissioner McFoley did have to do something about Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:50:58McFoley admitted he still hasn't found the person who ran Stone Cold down.

00:51:01But the investigation continues.

00:51:04Stone Cold just can't go running around stunning innocent victims.

00:51:07Oh, don't worry, you won't be stunning anybody anymore after a long, long time here in the WWF.

00:51:11And their opponents being accompanied to the ring by Victoria and Mandy.

00:51:17And a combined weight of 862 pounds.

00:51:21From Kishi and Tukul.

00:51:25A six-man Tag Team matchup for Kishi who's had some problems with Kane in recent weeks.

00:51:30Kane joins his buddies Tukul here tonight.

00:51:32And speaking of Kane, the Big Red Machine has a date with The Rock later on tonight

00:51:37with the World Wrestling Federation title on the line.

00:51:41Yeah.

00:51:41I'd rather have a date with Mandy and Victoria.

00:51:43Woo-hoo!

00:51:44I'm there with you.

00:51:45Alright, get out of the way, Tukul.

00:51:46Let me see the girl.

00:51:47Wait a minute.

00:51:47Both Mandy and Victoria.

00:51:49Yeah!

00:51:49At the same time?

00:51:51Oh, baby.

00:51:52Now you're talking.

00:51:53So Rikishi and Tukul didn't take on Edge and Christian and Kurt Angle.

00:51:57See, I'd like to have Mandy and Victoria there both at the same time.

00:51:59When I fall asleep, they'll have somebody to talk to.

00:52:02Woo-hoo!

00:52:05They are on their feet in Baltimore as Mandy and Victoria lead the cheers for Rikishi and Tukul.

00:52:14And it was on Raw Monday Night King.

00:52:16Edge and Christian cost Tukul the Tag Team titles.

00:52:19They were actually trying to screw the Hardys and Tukul on the wrong end of the stick.

00:52:24Well, that's a good strategy if you ask me.

00:52:26Edge and Christian, they feel like the Hardys are just keeping those Tag Titles warm.

00:52:29Look at Edge.

00:52:31Knocked down by Grandmaster Sexay of Edge up over the top.

00:52:34And Edge with the leapfrog.

00:52:35And Grandmaster Sexay into the back of the head of Edge.

00:52:39What a wild night it's Ben King.

00:52:41Still in shock over the fact that Commissioner Mick Foley has indefinitely suspended Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:52:47And that may be some of the biggest news ever here in the history of the WWE.

00:52:51Boom!

00:52:52Misses with a double clothesline.

00:52:53Oh, look out!

00:52:54Too cool!

00:52:55And Edge felt that one.

00:52:57I really didn't think that Commissioner Foley-

00:53:00Ha ha ha!

00:53:01Look at me!

00:53:01Hey, no, hip-hop!

00:53:02Ha ha ha!

00:53:03Too cool, poking fun and Edge, and-

00:53:06I've gotta say, I really didn't think that Commissioner Foley had the guts, or-

00:53:10Oh, he's-

00:53:27An Olympic pancake!

00:53:29Thanks to Rikishi!

00:53:32Yeah, but you know what?

00:53:33A lesser man would be finished, but not Kurt Angle.

00:53:36Well, he wasn't even the legal man.

00:53:38All right.

00:53:38Oh, look out!

00:53:39Ooh!

00:53:39Scottie Too Hotty drop-kicked Edge.

00:53:41Had a big knockdown by Scottie Too Hotty.

00:53:44You're talking about Commissioner Mick Foley.

00:53:45You heard what he had to say.

00:53:46Mick Foley, though, look at him.

00:53:48To the back by Christian.

00:53:50And Edge with a spinning heel kick with Scottie Too Hotty.

00:53:53Here's the tag to Christian.

00:53:53Mick Foley said he came out here on Raw Monday Night Cake.

00:53:56It was basically gonna give Stone Cold a slap on the wrist.

00:53:58It was gonna give him a fine.

00:54:00But Stone Cold pushed Commissioner Foley to Foley.

00:54:02Backed the Commissioner Foley into the corner, and Foley had to respond.

00:54:06Well, and I agree with Foley in that respect,

00:54:08because if he lets Stone Cold get away with giving him a stunner,

00:54:12then every other WWE wrestler's gonna be out here throwing Mick Foley

00:54:15all around the ring when he don't get what they want.

00:54:17Now, Christian.

00:54:18Two plexes.

00:54:19Follows it up into the cover.

00:54:20Here's the hook of the leg.

00:54:21Here's two.

00:54:22Breaks up the three cap.

00:54:24And I agree with you, King.

00:54:25Mick Foley must rule with an iron fist.

00:54:27He can't have a double standard.

00:54:30He can't do one thing to one superstar, one thing to another.

00:54:33As Christian hammers away to Scottie Too Hotty.

00:54:36And now Kurt Angle, who's the number one contender for the WWE title

00:54:40in the championship in just about two weeks time, at No Mercy.

00:54:45And just think, after No Mercy, Michael, Kurt Angle could be our WWE Champion.

00:54:49That'd be great.

00:54:50Yeah, great.

00:54:51What do you mean?

00:54:52Look out, Scottie, 200 DDT.

00:54:54Face first goes Kurt Angle into the ring.

00:54:58And the crowd's starting to come alive for Tukul and Rikishi.

00:55:03Well, Kate's gonna be facing the WWF Champion.

00:55:07And who do you think is gonna be the champion?

00:55:11Who's gonna win today between Kane and The Rocks?

00:55:13That's a good question.

00:55:14As Rikishi comes into the ring, misses with the right-hand angle.

00:55:17Angle the trigger and the two-some eye drive by Rikishi.

00:55:21And Christian into the ring.

00:55:22And that's as well.

00:55:23And both receive right hands for the Rebels.

00:55:25What a double close line by the.

00:55:27423 pound Rikishi.

00:55:29Speaking of Kane, I'll tell you, Rikishi has stood top and top with a big record.

00:55:35They're getting stacked up like Cornwood.

00:55:37Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold it.

00:55:39I think he wants to send Grandmaster Sexy in first.

00:55:42Grandmaster Sexy in.

00:55:44And then he behind you, Christian.

00:55:45Oh, my gosh.

00:55:46The edge has been eliminated.

00:55:48Back it up.

00:55:50Ooh.

00:55:51Imagine.

00:55:52Oh, look out.

00:55:53Bulldog.

00:55:54Bulldog.

00:55:55Are you waiting for this?

00:55:57Look at that face.

00:55:59We're about to experience the W-O-O-M.

00:56:04Get down, Scottie Tuhani.

00:56:06He's warming his way into the hearts of the fans.

00:56:09But not Christian.

00:56:10And there's the check from Scottie Tuhani the Christian.

00:56:14An ankle and engine, Christian.

00:56:16And he's in trouble.

00:56:18Now wait, wait, no, no, no.

00:56:20This is our number one could do.

00:56:23An Olympic stink face.

00:56:25I think Rikishi gets a gold medal for that performance.

00:56:28Don't they make you cry again.

00:56:29Don't make Kurt cry.

00:56:31Hey, Kurt went after Scottie Tuhani.

00:56:33He's in rage and he just got a place full of Rikishi.

00:56:36You know, just the smell of that would make your eyes water.

00:56:38Grandmaster Sexy up on the top rope.

00:56:41Oh, here are the miracles.

00:56:42Hey, hey, Stephanie.

00:56:45What's Stephanie doing down here?

00:56:46I thought she laughed.

00:56:47Look out.

00:56:52The referee didn't see what's going on.

00:56:54Look at the Olympic slam.

00:56:56Look at the Olympic slam.

00:56:58Here's the cover.

00:56:59Look at the leg.

00:57:00Stephanie just helped Kurt Angle win.

00:57:03Look at the acceleration.

00:57:06This is a double celebration for Kurt now.

00:57:09King, what is going on?

00:57:12Look at how happy Kurt Angle is going.

00:57:14I can tell you one thing.

00:57:15Triple H is not gonna like this.

00:57:17Yeah, the idiots celebrate.

00:57:19Yeah, happy Kurt Angle thanks to Stephanie who won the matchup.

00:57:23But why in the world would Stephanie of Kurt Angle?

00:57:28We're back on SmackDown and King, what has gotten into Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley?

00:57:32She just came down to ringside and helped Kurt Angle of all people win a matchup.

00:57:36I don't know if Grandmaster Sexy was fixing to do the number on Kurt Angle but then Stephanie showed up,

00:57:41pushed Grandmaster and he took the Olympic slam and lost the match.

00:57:46Stephanie defying the instructions of her husband not to go down to ringside.

00:57:50I can't believe it still.

00:57:52Uh-oh.

00:57:54What the hell was that?

00:57:55Why did you just help Kurt Angle?

00:57:57I thought you went to the hotel.

00:57:59You know what, Hunter?

00:57:59Maybe you're forgetting just how helpful I can be to you in the ring.

00:58:03I'm not forgetting anything.

00:58:04Maybe, maybe you are.

00:58:05Maybe you're forgetting how we got together in the first place.

00:58:09Because of who I am, I'm a McMahon.

00:58:12I know who you are.

00:58:14I grew up in this business.

00:58:16I've been around it all my life and I know quite a bit about it.

00:58:19Dare I say, maybe more than you.

00:58:23I can be extremely valuable and helpful and I am an excellent business partner.

00:58:30So why did I help Kurt?

00:58:33To show you that.

00:58:35To show me.

00:58:36You know what you showed me?

00:58:38That you could have been hurt again.

00:58:42The only thing that's hurting me is you.

00:58:49I'll see you at the hotel.

00:58:54Oh my gosh, Michael.

00:58:55This is really serious.

00:58:57This is bad.

00:58:58Real bad.

00:58:59Is there a marriage counselor in the house?

00:59:02Stephanie defied what her husband Triple H told her to do.

00:59:05And that must not go down the ringside.

00:59:07And...

00:59:07Oh boy.

00:59:10Uh...

00:59:10You know...

00:59:11Triple H is just worried about her.

00:59:13He loves her.

00:59:14He wants what's best for her.

00:59:16And...

00:59:16Sometimes women just don't know what's best for her.

00:59:18Stephanie wants to be in the business.

00:59:19She wants a career kick.

00:59:21She feels slighted.

00:59:22She feels hurt.

00:59:23Man.

00:59:24I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that hotel room later.

00:59:26The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:59:30And it is for the World Wrestling Federation Hardcore Champion.

00:59:34In the ring for Manville, Pennsylvania.

00:59:36Weighing in at 248 pounds.

00:59:38The Hardcore Champion.

00:59:40The Lethal Weapon, Steve Whitman.

00:59:43You know what I was just thinking?

00:59:44What?

00:59:45I wonder if their hotel room is number 814.

00:59:47Wouldn't that be a coincidence?

00:59:48You know...

00:59:49And then it was SummerSlam.

00:59:50Being accompanied to the ring by Tristratus.

00:59:53From Boston, Mass.

00:59:54Weighing in at 150 pounds.

00:59:58Over.

00:59:59A great opportunity for the 350-pound Albert.

01:00:03Hardcore title on the line.

01:00:05Perhaps the greatest Hardcore Champion of all time, King.

01:00:08Wait a minute.

01:00:09Steve Whitman.

01:00:09Hold it.

01:00:10We got gimmick infringement.

01:00:11What?

01:00:12Trish, he's wearing JR's hat.

01:00:13Oh, come on.

01:00:14Man, he may pour barbecue sauce all over her for this.

01:00:17Here's Whitman with the right hand.

01:00:19Hammering away.

01:00:20Yes.

01:00:21In this Hardcore title matchup.

01:00:23Oh, look out.

01:00:23Albert, 350 pounds.

01:00:25If Blackman had martial arts chop, Hugh Albert.

01:00:28I saw what happened on Raw this past, but I got TNN King.

01:00:31Steve Blackman successfully defending the Hardcore title

01:00:33and a triple-slip matchup at both ends.

01:00:35Oh, and what power by the 350-pound Albert to Blackman.

01:00:41What does Trish want here?

01:00:43You know, we still haven't heard from Al Gore and George Bush yet about the SmackDown Challenge.

01:00:46SmackDown!

01:00:47Man, that really surprises me.

01:00:48Although I can tell you this, it's a not-partisan campaign to register young Americans to vote.

01:00:52110,000.

01:00:54What a takedown by Steve Blackman.

01:00:58And a shot with that sign by Albert.

01:01:00What an opportunity for Gore and Bush to come on SmackDown and reach 14 million.

01:01:06Oh!

01:01:07I mean, they don't have to debate.

01:01:09All they gotta do is come on and talk to our fans.

01:01:11Well, look at this, sticks against signs.

01:01:13I don't think Albert likes the hocks too much.

01:01:16Now, look at Blackman's kick as a catch with those sticks.

01:01:20Yeah, this looks like that.

01:01:21With concern.

01:01:22This is all legal, King.

01:01:23No holds barred.

01:01:24Balls count anywhere.

01:01:25That Hardcore title defending 24-70.

01:01:27Blackman.

01:01:29He had about 50 times that count.

01:01:31No signs against sticks.

01:01:33It was like...

01:01:33Well, it was like Albert came to a good fight with a knife.

01:01:36Oh, no!

01:01:37I hope he's in trouble.

01:01:38And there's the elbow to the back of the head of Steve Blackman.

01:01:40And you know, King, I still can't believe Stone Cold's been suspended indefinitely

01:01:46by Commissioner Mick Foley here tonight.

01:01:48And look at that tower cover to Steve Blackman.

01:01:51Here's the cover.

01:01:51Could have a new Hulk Tour champion too when Blackman kicks out.

01:01:54You know how dangerous it is for women to be at ringside.

01:01:57As a matter of fact, Trish could be in danger right now.

01:02:00Trish, come on, sit by me.

01:02:02You're in danger.

01:02:03Can you imagine how good Albert's going to be when he gets a little more experienced?

01:02:07Look at Trish.

01:02:12I mean, no teamwork involved later on tonight when Rock takes on Kane with the WWF Championship

01:02:17on the line.

01:02:18See?

01:02:19Women can be helpful at ringside.

01:02:22Look at that.

01:02:22Look at this.

01:02:23He's missed!

01:02:25You know, maybe if Triple H is watching this-

01:02:29Well, Blackman didn't miss there.

01:02:31Shot to the knees into this ball.

01:02:33Fight now!

01:02:34I know he can't miss this 8-3-8-3 camera.

01:02:36You know what Blackman just said, but we're having fun now.

01:02:39He is, baby.

01:02:40He's whacked.

01:02:41If they put the camera on Trish a little more, I'd be having fun.

01:02:43Yoo-hoo!

01:02:44Blackman, the hardcore champion, uh-oh.

01:02:46Fire extinguisher.

01:02:47Oh, there's the kendo stick.

01:02:49He is lethal with that kendo stick as Blackman.

01:02:53Trish, what are you gonna do?

01:02:57Uh-oh, wait a minute.

01:02:57What is she thinking about?

01:02:59She's a hot number.

01:03:01Oh, look at the sex appeal by Trish.

01:03:03Yes!

01:03:04I like the look at it!

01:03:05It works for me, baby!

01:03:07Trying to distract Blackman and-

01:03:09Blackman!

01:03:10And that's what he thought about Trish.

01:03:11Thumbs down!

01:03:13Hailing from behind!

01:03:15You did that to that beautiful face!

01:03:17Come over here, Trish!

01:03:18I'll get that off of you!

01:03:19I thought it was pretty funny myself.

01:03:20And Blackman with a kick to the ribs!

01:03:23Oh, man!

01:03:24Oh, boy!

01:03:24Man!

01:03:25Fire extinguisher to the face, and-

01:03:27Hey!

01:03:29Albert can't see anything.

01:03:31And Blackman with a kendo stick,

01:03:32and what in the world is the lethal weapon doing here?

01:03:35You got me!

01:03:36Albert can't see a thing!

01:03:37Albert, don't turn around!

01:03:39Oh, you did.

01:03:40Kendo stick across the forehead!

01:03:42You can hear it clack!

01:03:44And it's over!

01:03:45Blackman again retains his hardcore title!

01:03:48What?

01:03:48He's out of that down-ridden!

01:03:50He's still out of Camden Yard!

01:03:51He's still out of Camden Yard!

01:03:53And the lethal weapon, Steve McMahon!

01:03:57So Blackman retains the hardcore title, and-

01:03:59Hey!

01:04:00It's Stephanie!

01:04:01Stephanie!

01:04:02Hey, I just wanted to thank you for what you did.

01:04:05You're welcome.

01:04:06Listen, Steph.

01:04:07I know what Hunter said to you.

01:04:10And I think he's the crazy one.

01:04:12You don't have to prove anything to me.

01:04:14I know what a tremendous asset you can be to anyone in the ring.

01:04:16I mean, you proved that back there, Steph.

01:04:18Your father is Vince McMahon.

01:04:20He created the World Wrestling Federation.

01:04:22Nobody knows more than you do.

01:04:24And this has nothing to do with my personal feelings, with my feelings toward you.

01:04:29This is strictly a business request, Steph.

01:04:32But it would be my honor if you would accompany me to the ring on a permanent basis.

01:04:39What do you say?

01:04:41I'll think about it.

01:04:42But, Kurt, thank you.

01:04:46Thanks for appreciating what I do.

01:04:49You're welcome, Steph.

01:04:50Anytime.

01:04:51Hey, here, let me get the phone.

01:04:55Thanks, Steph.

01:05:07How about WWF New York?

01:05:09The fans in Times Square enjoying SmackDown here tonight.

01:05:13But WWF New York is the new home of Sunday Night Heat.

01:05:17Live every Sunday at MTV, 7 o'clock, 6 central.

01:05:23Now, what is this all about?

01:05:26Chris Benoit with a man with a huge chip on his shoulder.

01:05:31We talk about a complainer.

01:05:33Ladies and gentlemen, make a minute.

01:05:36Chris Benoit.

01:05:38What do you mean, wait a minute?

01:05:39No, what do you mean a complainer?

01:05:41This guy has been complaining and moaning for weeks that he should be the WWF Champion.

01:05:45Oh, come on, give me a break.

01:05:46How many times has he been messed out of the title?

01:05:49I mean, he's already been announced as the WWF Champion, not once but twice.

01:05:53Well, you know, he intended to take a chair to Stephanie McMahon Helmsley on Raw Monday night.

01:05:58Yeah, I didn't agree with that, but I think he would have reconsidered.

01:06:01He already headbutted Stephanie once.

01:06:03Could have been a mistake.

01:06:04The sicko's smiling about it afterward.

01:06:06So tonight, it's Kane versus The Rock.

01:06:13Well, I can hear complaining coming already.

01:06:17For the WWF title, Commissioner Foley screws over Chris Benoit once again.

01:06:30He's waiting.

01:06:31So what?

01:06:32So Kane, the big red freak, gets his shot at the title.

01:06:41So what?

01:06:44So The Rock walks away one more night without facing the man that cannot be proved wrong.

01:06:56Yeah, go ahead.

01:06:58Prove him wrong, Michael.

01:06:59So what?

01:07:01I don't care if it's the people's joke, Kane the big red freak, or the almighty Foley himself,

01:07:10one way or another.

01:07:12Uh-oh.

01:07:13And that's Y2J's music.

01:07:17What is Jericho doing?

01:07:20He's interrupting.

01:07:24Okay, don't you find it funny how Chris Jericho has gotten his knack parading on everybody's parade?

01:07:32There's an interrupter high.

01:07:34You may have to have some meetings with William Regal.

01:07:38One, two, take Chris Jericho.

01:07:42What a reaction here in Baltimore for Jericho on SmackDown.

01:07:46What about the story history between these two men?

01:07:49Benoit, instead of whining and griping, here's an idea.

01:07:55Would you please shut the hell up?

01:08:00Yeah, that coming from Interview Interruptus.

01:08:03I also know what it feels like to have the World Wrestling Federation Championship around my waist

01:08:09only to have it stripped away moments later.

01:08:12But you don't see me coming out here and crying and moaning about it.

01:08:16Well, that's true.

01:08:19Besides, there's so many other things that you could complain about.

01:08:23I mean, you could complain about the fact that you have a midget head on a normal-sized body.

01:08:30Hey, wait a minute.

01:08:31Or, you could complain about the fact that Benoit in French means gap-toothed jackass.

01:08:40It does?

01:08:41I didn't know that.

01:08:42Or here's one.

01:08:44You could complain about the fact that in front of all of these Jericho-holics,

01:08:53Y2J is going to challenge you to a match right here on SmackDown tonight.

01:08:59Tonight?

01:09:00Part of the move, Francais?

01:09:01So complain about that, jerky.

01:09:05I guess we're gonna have this.

01:09:06I think Benoit accepted the challenge, and here we go.

01:09:09Y2J, Chris Jericho, and Chris Benoit, the referee.

01:09:13This is the ref right now.

01:09:14This is gonna be a real match.

01:09:16Well, here comes the referee, and perhaps Y2J put off a little more than he could chew here,

01:09:21and a senior official Heppner down to officiate this.

01:09:25Oh!

01:09:25He picked a match up.

01:09:26Jericho bouncing off that steel post at the hands of the rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit.

01:09:33Match makes it into the ring, and here we go.

01:09:35Bell rings.

01:09:36Benoit and Jericho one-on-one on SmackDown.

01:09:38I cannot believe.

01:09:40I can't believe, Colonel.

01:09:42Did you see Colonel?

01:09:44He's like a vulture, praying on vulnerable victims.

01:09:47Stephanie, will you be in my corner?

01:09:49Your husband doesn't want you, and you be with me.

01:09:51Hey, hey, hey, hey.

01:09:51Give me a break.

01:09:53You don't think he's genuine and sincere?

01:09:55Come on.

01:09:56What?

01:09:57He's got one thing in mind for Stephanie.

01:09:58You know exactly what that is.

01:10:00Hey, it's a family show.

01:10:02And look at this, Chris Benoit.

01:10:03Oh, what a takedown.

01:10:04Trying to set Jericho up, perhaps, for the Crippler Crossface.

01:10:07And Jericho has felt the Crossface before.

01:10:09And Y2J trying to battle out of it, this unexpected matchup.

01:10:14And now Jericho going for the walls of Jericho.

01:10:17And Benoit's felt this before, and Benoit battles out of it.

01:10:20What a kick to the face there, by the way.

01:10:22You know these two men, King, have met each other so many times.

01:10:25They know each other so well.

01:10:27And Jericho into that steel post.

01:10:30I'd have to say that their season series, so to speak, is not even.

01:10:33Yeah.

01:10:34The only edge here I would have to give to Chris Benoit,

01:10:38because anybody sick enough to almost hit Stephanie with a chair,

01:10:41he'll do anything to win.

01:10:43Oh, yeah, he did headbutter.

01:10:44Another shot by Benoit in the chest of Chris Jericho.

01:10:47That's what I'm saying.

01:10:47If he'll headbutt Stephanie, what would he do to Y2J?

01:10:51Listen, can I remind you of something?

01:10:53Oh!

01:10:54Austin is gone.

01:10:55He's in his pickup truck somewhere, and he's history.

01:10:57Oh, he is.

01:10:57You don't even need to bring his name up.

01:10:59Can I ask you a question?

01:11:01Seriously?

01:11:02Please.

01:11:02If you were hit by a car and your career was almost ended,

01:11:05and you had to battle back to get back to the World Wrestling Federation,

01:11:08wouldn't revenge be on your mind?

01:11:09Well, possibly.

01:11:11But you gotta go through the proper channels.

01:11:12You gotta conduct this.

01:11:13You just can't come in here like a renegade and just do this whole vigilante type investigation.

01:11:19Hold on.

01:11:20Cover, hook of the leg.

01:11:21Two.

01:11:21Benoit gets the shoulder up.

01:11:23I, for one, still believe that you are innocent until proven guilty.

01:11:26Well, I agree with you there.

01:11:27Well, what does Stone Cold say?

01:11:29Everybody's guilty until proven innocent.

01:11:32Right.

01:11:32And I agree with you.

01:11:33You can't go around stuttered innocent victims all the time.

01:11:35Okay, then you agree with me.

01:11:36Look out.

01:11:36Benoit, great reversal by Chris Benoit.

01:11:39Unbelievable strength and balance and a shoulder breaker by Chris Benoit.

01:11:44And Benoit says that's it.

01:11:46I guess Y2J may regret coming out here and interrupting Benoit's interview.

01:11:50He shouldn't have messed with the Wolverine when he's in a foul mood.

01:11:53Well, the rabid Wolverine knocked off the top rope by Jericho in a desperation maneuver.

01:11:59Yeah, Chris Benoit, who believes to this day he should be World Wrestling Federation champion.

01:12:04Well, you heard Y2J?

01:12:05He said he believes he should be the champion.

01:12:07What a maneuver by Jericho.

01:12:09I think Benoit bounced right on his head.

01:12:11And Jericho bounced right on that left shoulder.

01:12:13And both men are out.

01:12:15Hey, it's Triple H.

01:12:16What?

01:12:17What the hell is the game doing down here?

01:12:19They get to Benoit and a spear to Benoit.

01:12:21Triple H hammering away at Benoit.

01:12:24The referee's called for the bow.

01:12:26Well, he's doing that for Stephanie.

01:12:28It was Benoit who terrorized Triple H's wife Stephanie.

01:12:32And Triple H hammering away at Chris Benoit.

01:12:35Officials into the ring.

01:12:37Don't try to get in between these two.

01:12:38This is personal now.

01:12:39Triple H relentless.

01:12:41The officials trying to pull Triple H off Chris Benoit.

01:12:46I think Benoit's had enough.

01:12:49And the rabid Wolverine with that steel chair.

01:12:52Benoit wants more.

01:12:53Look at this.

01:12:54Chair to the head of Triple H.

01:12:56Chris Benoit cost Triple H the number one contendership.

01:13:00Now he almost took his head off.

01:13:03I told you don't mess with a Wolverine when he's in one of his moods.

01:13:07He wants more.

01:13:08And the rabid Wolverine isn't through yet.

01:13:12Triple H with that steel chair.

01:13:16And Triple H isn't through yet.

01:13:17How is Triple H back up after getting his head busted?

01:13:20Look at him.

01:13:21I'll tell you, King.

01:13:22This was not the night to push Triple H's buttons.

01:13:25Wasn't the right night to push the Wolverine over the edge either.

01:13:29And now this one's Chris Benoit.

01:13:30And Triple H and Benoit still going at it.

01:13:33Triple H's head is doing more than swimming.

01:13:35And it's bleak, both men are out of control.

01:13:37What are we gonna do here?

01:13:38What are we gonna do?

01:13:40Don't let Benoit get a hold of that chair again.

01:13:42He'll bust everybody in the ring.

01:13:44And Chris Benoit, the rabid Wolverine, staring back at Triple H.

01:13:50These two men despise each other.

01:13:53Look at the disdain in the eyes of Triple H.

01:14:02Back on SmackDown King moments ago, it was Chris Benoit versus Y2J when an impassioned Triple H came to the

01:14:08ring to take out his personal and professional frustrations on Chris Benoit.

01:14:12Well, that's exactly what he did.

01:14:14Look at this.

01:14:14Triple H diving right into the gut of Benoit and putting it to him.

01:14:19But Benoit wasn't finished.

01:14:20Benoit goes outside and gets his chair.

01:14:22And look at this, Michael.

01:14:23And listen.

01:14:24Man.

01:14:25A steel chair to the head of Triple H.

01:14:28You can see the blood on Triple H's forehead.

01:14:31And look at the disdain in the eyes of Triple H.

01:14:34Looking all around, it's been a bad night for Triple H.

01:14:36Yeah, you got that right.

01:14:37You gotta wonder, how does Triple H feel about the fact that Kurt Angle has asked his wife, has asked

01:14:43Stephanie to be in Kurt's corner permanently?

01:14:45Well, you saw Triple H get busted open by that chair.

01:14:47He's been treated by EMTs, taken to a local medical facility for precautionary reasons.

01:14:51Well, it's a good thing because a chair shot like that, I mean, that could cause a concussion or any

01:14:55sort of thing.

01:14:55It's a good thing that you're checking that out.

01:14:56Well, coming up next, The Rock versus Kane with the World Wrestling Federation Championship on the line.

01:15:02I can't wait, get him out here, let's get it on!

01:15:04Well, standing by with Kane, here's Lillian Garcia.

01:15:07Kane, tonight you go against The Rock, and he's got what you want, the World Wrestling Federation Championship.

01:15:13The Rock, the people's champion, the WWF champion, the man who has everything.

01:15:23Well, tonight, I'm gonna take the thing that is most important to him, the WWF title.

01:15:29Rock, you say, just bring it.

01:15:32Well, I'll bring it like no one else has, because you see, Rock, tonight it's just you and me.

01:15:37And nobody can save you, and nothing can stop me from walking out as WWF champion.

01:15:45Not the rock bottom, not the people's elbow, and especially not the people.

01:15:57The World Wrestling Federation Championship is on the line!

01:16:02You heard what the big red machine Kane had to say!

01:16:05He wants to take what's important to The Rock!

01:16:07And it's the title!

01:16:08The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Wrestling Federation Championship!

01:16:15The World Wrestling Federation Championship, who is in at 326 pounds, Kane!

01:16:22Who will be the champion when we get to No Mercy to meet number one contender, Colonel?

01:16:28And Presto presents No Mercy!

01:16:30No Mercy will be live in just over two weeks, Sunday, October 22nd, from the sold-out Pepsi Arena!

01:16:36In a while!

01:16:36In Albany, New York!

01:16:38Pesto!

01:16:38Makers of the Pizazz!

01:16:40Pizza Oven!

01:16:46It is smart!

01:16:49And my life is home!

01:16:53And this opponent, drawn by Indy Florida, weighing in at 270 pounds, he is the World Wrestling Federation Championship!

01:17:05The Rock!

01:17:07The people are all defeated in Baltimore for the People's Champions!

01:17:12And the WWF Champion, The Rock!

01:17:17Who Kane won a test tonight for the Promo Bowl!

01:17:21As he looks into the eyes of Kane!

01:17:28I gotta ask you something, Michael!

01:17:31You know, Kane has become...

01:17:33He's become quite the chatterbox person!

01:17:36Who's been working with him on that Dixon?

01:17:38His accent sort of sounds like yours, is it you, Michael?

01:17:42My accent?

01:17:43Yeah!

01:17:44Who's teaching Kane to talk so well?

01:17:46I don't know!

01:17:47It's a good question!

01:17:47Is The Rock!

01:17:49The layers down in the big red machine, Kane!

01:17:53And I've been looking forward to this match-up all night long!

01:17:57What a war this one is gonna be!

01:17:59The Rock!

01:18:00Against Kane!

01:18:02Look at Kane!

01:18:03I mean, the guy, he's changing his...

01:18:05He's talking!

01:18:07His personality is...

01:18:08This looks like it's developing!

01:18:09Somebody's in his ear, Michael!

01:18:11Somebody is...

01:18:12Somebody is definitely influencing Kane!

01:18:14Well, Kane, which one of these men are gonna head to No Mercy in just about two weeks?

01:18:18To meet Kurt Angle, who is the number one contender?

01:18:21Will it be The Rock, or will it be Kane?

01:18:23And don't bet against that man, the big red machine!

01:18:28Oh-ho!

01:18:29When these two get together, all bets are off!

01:18:33Under인데요!

01:18:33Dieta man, intimidated by the other!

01:18:36Look at his field, the intensity!

01:18:39Rock is 6 foot 5 and you have to look up at Kane!

01:18:41Oh!

01:18:41Kane went for the right-hand, the monumental The Rock

01:18:43с battling back,

01:18:44and The Rock, pit Louis on the offensive,

01:18:46But Kane only a big right hand of his own.

01:18:49Look at these shots from Kane!

01:18:50I mean, they're standing Rock right out of the chair!

01:18:54This may not last long, Kane.

01:18:56I'll tell you that, the strength and the power of Kane.

01:18:59And the Rock with an elbow to the Big Red Machine that has never quit in the People's Champion.

01:19:05I mean, it's like no matter what you do to Kane, sure you can knock him down.

01:19:08Give him a big clothesline. Hover by the Rock. Hooks the leg.

01:19:11And a kick out after one by Kane.

01:19:13Somehow Kane gets right back to his feet. Rock bottom time. Rock bottom time.

01:19:18Kane towers.

01:19:20Kane almost walked into the Rock bottom. Now he knocks Rock out of the ring.

01:19:24Watch it, Rock. Right here in front of us.

01:19:25Watch your back, Rock. Here comes Kane. This is bad.

01:19:29The Big Red Machine, Kane, putting a hurting on the Bravo Bowl.

01:19:34Kane wants the World Wrestling Federation title. Watch it, Rock.

01:19:37But Kane cannot win the championship out here.

01:19:42How can you talk when these guys are fighting right now?

01:19:44Trying to do my job.

01:19:47And look at Kane, Rock is in trouble.

01:19:49The Big Red Machine picking apart the WWE Champion.

01:19:52Watch yourself, Riff.

01:19:53Look at Rock.

01:19:55Rock's got the ring bell, Kane.

01:19:56Yes, he does.

01:19:57Rock's got the ring bell here.

01:19:58To the face of Kane.

01:20:00Rock with a ring bell to the face of the Big Red Machine.

01:20:05And Kane has been knocked down.

01:20:08Can you see that, Kane?

01:20:10Can you see that, Kane?

01:20:11Can you see that shot?

01:20:12And Kane back to the NFL pickle again.

01:20:14I didn't see it.

01:20:15I think he's distracted like I am.

01:20:17I'm having to watch The Rock and Kane here.

01:20:19A physical war thus far between The Rock and Kane.

01:20:23Look out.

01:20:23Knee to the go by the Big Red Machine.

01:20:26Who wants what The Rock has?

01:20:28The WWE title.

01:20:29Did you see that?

01:20:31I think they took out a cameraman too.

01:20:34And Rock is down and in trouble and Kane.

01:20:37He's gonna be strong.

01:20:39On the attack.

01:20:41To the WWE Champion.

01:20:42Kane, you're running a try.

01:20:45Kane, you're running a try.

01:20:46Here tonight, we've already seen the indefinite suspension of Stone Cold Steve Austin by Commissioner Mick Foley.

01:20:52And we may be witnessing the elimination of WWE Champion of The Rock.

01:20:56We may see the title change hands here.

01:20:59Kane with another shot to the Brahma Bullet.

01:21:02Kane better be careful, he doesn't get disqualified.

01:21:04He's not gonna win the championship by getting himself disqualified.

01:21:08Well, what all have we seen tonight?

01:21:10I wonder if Stephanie is gonna win it for me.

01:21:13And The Rock, the Brahma Bullet, trying to battle back.

01:21:16Off the rocks and boots and are faced by Kane.

01:21:19This may not be The Rock's night.

01:21:21Kane could have a new champion.

01:21:22Pucks the leg and Rock somehow gets the shoulder up.

01:21:25There is no quitting The Rock.

01:21:28Barely, barely, barely kicked out on that one, Michael.

01:21:30You know, a human being can only stand so much.

01:21:35Kane keeps up the punishment, but you sort of get the feeling.

01:21:38You see the intensity in Kane.

01:21:40You sort of get the feeling.

01:21:41Perhaps this could be Kane's night.

01:21:43And what a suplex.

01:21:45The cover again.

01:21:46Could have a new champion.

01:21:48Rock again gets the shoulder up.

01:21:50I'm telling you, it amazes me, the strength of Kane.

01:21:52I mean, I've seen him just lift Rock like you are a feather.

01:21:55Just stand on that suplex.

01:21:56A little bit earlier, outside, he just lifted the Rock over his head like nothing and dropped him down on

01:22:00that restraining wall.

01:22:02It's unbelievable how strong Kane is.

01:22:03Kane using that strength, that power, that superb conditioning to basically wear the Rock down,

01:22:09but the Brahma Bull has something left, and the champion trying to turn the tables.

01:22:14Here he goes.

01:22:15In a reversal.

01:22:16Into the turbo.

01:22:17Here comes Kane and an elbow by the Brahma Bull.

01:22:20But Kane didn't go down.

01:22:21All right, look at this.

01:22:22Rock walked right in.

01:22:24Rock was one for a ball.

01:22:26A sidewalk slam.

01:22:27Kane with a cover again.

01:22:28Again could be a new champion.

01:22:30And Rock gets the shoulder up.

01:22:31Kane, I gotta ask you a question.

01:22:33How in the world, if you're the Rock, do you stop a man, a monster like Kane?

01:22:38I don't know if you stop him, you just try to survive.

01:22:41Maybe you go for the legs, try to get him down on the mat.

01:22:45I don't know what to do with Kane.

01:22:46Other people in the Rock's corner trying to give the Rock momentum.

01:22:50What a shot to the ribs by Kane and the WWE Champion.

01:22:53You heard what Kane said earlier.

01:22:56I mean, the people's elbow wasn't gonna matter.

01:22:59The people's champion and the people weren't gonna matter.

01:23:02Rock ripped across the ring.

01:23:04I hope Kane telegraphed that, but perhaps Kane made a mistake.

01:23:07And here comes the Brahma Bull.

01:23:08Look at this.

01:23:09Samoan drop.

01:23:09Samoan drop on the Rock.

01:23:11Letting him in.

01:23:12You can't get that right back off the wall.

01:23:14I can't believe it.

01:23:16Rock goes to his heritage.

01:23:17The Samoan drop, and it had no effect on Kane.

01:23:19Oh, and Rock DDT plants Kane.

01:23:22Rock flips into the cover, hooks the leg.

01:23:24There's one, two.

01:23:25And Kane kicks out before a count of three.

01:23:28And how in the world is Kane continually getting up?

01:23:30Not only is he getting up, he beat the Rock up.

01:23:32I just don't get it.

01:23:34He's imperative to pain.

01:23:36He's a superb human being, superb condition.

01:23:39Rock with a slow buster.

01:23:40Slow buster to Kane.

01:23:42Uh-oh.

01:23:43Well, Kane said earlier that this wasn't gonna help.

01:23:46It wasn't gonna make a difference, but we'll see now,

01:23:48here it comes, Michael.

01:23:49Here it comes, Michael.

01:23:50The most electrifying move.

01:23:52It's fourth entertainment today.

01:23:53And Kane is there.

01:23:54And Rock walked in with a big right hand.

01:23:56What the heck?

01:23:57And Kane went for a chokeslam and Rock countered.

01:24:00And Rock walked into it.

01:24:01Look at Kane.

01:24:03What a slam.

01:24:04That was right.

01:24:05Kane was right.

01:24:06The people that didn't get the job done.

01:24:08He didn't even get delivered.

01:24:11And the big red machine, Kane, what agility, high risk maneuver to the top rope.

01:24:15Up to his feet.

01:24:16In a desperation move, The Rock knocking Kane onto the top tenbuckle.

01:24:21And here comes the champion.

01:24:23Laying the smack down.

01:24:24Here comes.

01:24:26Kane with a drop to the floor off the top rope, and The Rock trying to gain momentum.

01:24:30Well, this is what The Rock's gotta do.

01:24:32He's gotta keep Kane down if that's possible.

01:24:35Just don't bring him this way.

01:24:37Kane, another cameraman's taking it out.

01:24:41Look out.

01:24:42Kane reversed it.

01:24:43Now Rock knocked into referee Tim White.

01:24:45Now the referee's down.

01:24:46Referee's taken out.

01:24:48Kane, it's a war zone out here.

01:24:50The cameraman, referee's flying all over.

01:24:52And what is Kurt Angle doing?

01:24:54Kurt Angle in the chair.

01:24:57And Chad looked back on the head of Kane.

01:25:00What the heck?

01:25:01And now it's hanging to the wall.

01:25:02What?

01:25:04What is Kurt Angle doing?

01:25:05Look at this.

01:25:06Another shot to Kane.

01:25:10I think that Kurt is trying to send him out.

01:25:12He's eliminating both of his competitors.

01:25:15Kurt Angle is the number one contender for the WWF Championship.

01:25:19He'll meet either The Rock or Kane at no mercy.

01:25:22And I'm predicting that he'll be our next WWF Champion.

01:25:24Look at this.

01:25:24He's laid out both The Rock and Kane.

01:25:27Yeah, Angle laid out The Rock and Kane came with a steel chair.

01:25:30And referee Tim White is down.

01:25:32And the referee didn't see any of Angle's interference for that steel chair.

01:25:36The referee trying to climb back into the ring.

01:25:38What's he gonna do?

01:25:39This is the gut check for both The Rock and Kane.

01:25:43Which man can get in the ring first?

01:25:45And referee Tim White begins to count.

01:25:48Wait a minute.

01:25:49Wait a minute.

01:25:49What's gonna happen here?

01:25:49What if both of these men are counted out?

01:25:51On The Rock World Champion.

01:25:54And then what kind of message has Kurt sent?

01:25:56I mean, this is unbelievable.

01:25:58And there's five, five by Tim White.

01:26:01Six.

01:26:02Six by referee Tim White.

01:26:04And the double count.

01:26:05Kane is set up on the count of seven.

01:26:08Kane to his feet.

01:26:10The Rock to his feet.

01:26:11We're at eight.

01:26:12We're at eight.

01:26:12We're at eight as The Rock is thrown back into the ring and falling in.

01:26:15They get in the ring before the count of ten.

01:26:18And the match continues.

01:26:20What is Kurt thinking now?

01:26:22How much does The Rock have left?

01:26:24Uh-oh.

01:26:24Kane.

01:26:24The back of the scene.

01:26:26Michael, can you say chokeslam?

01:26:27A chokeslam on the way.

01:26:29A chokeslam coming from him.

01:26:31The champion by chokeslam.

01:26:33We have a new WWF champion, Kane.

01:26:36Kane hooks the leg.

01:26:39One, two, three, four, five.

01:26:43The rim's the one who's got to do the count.

01:26:45And there's one.

01:26:46There's two.

01:26:48A new champion.

01:26:49And the right kicks out.

01:26:50And the Rock's so well.

01:26:53Kicked out.

01:26:54Look at Kane here beside himself.

01:26:56He knows he must have had The Rock down for at least a count of seven or eight.

01:27:00And Kane going for the finisher here, Kane.

01:27:03One more chokeslam and there's no way The Rock's coming up.

01:27:05And there's a right hand by The Big Red Machine.

01:27:08And another one to the promo ball.

01:27:10The condition The Rock's in and the mood that Kane is in.

01:27:12Look out!

01:27:15A desperation from The Rock.

01:27:17And that took a line out of The Rock too.

01:27:20And a huge rock bottom.

01:27:21Kane is, hey.

01:27:24Rikishi.

01:27:25What's Rikishi doing coming down here?

01:27:27Rikishi and Kane have major problems.

01:27:30But what brings Rikishi out here now?

01:27:34And Rikishi, Rikishi's attacking Kane.

01:27:37The referee calls for the bell.

01:27:39Look at this.

01:27:40The referee's sold.

01:27:41He comes for the bell.

01:27:42Who would have been this match as a result of a disqualification?

01:27:47Well Kane wins the match for the disqualification.

01:27:50Why did Rikishi come out?

01:27:53I don't know, but Rock is still the champion.

01:27:57I mean, Rock was in a bad way, but this disqualification definitely saves the title for The Rock.

01:28:03Well Kane, Rikishi wanted Kane.

01:28:05There's no doubt about it.

01:28:07Oh man, wait, wait, wait a minute.

01:28:08Look at this.

01:28:09Rock, Rock looks like he doesn't understand why Rikishi came out here.

01:28:12Look, what?

01:28:13Rock's a proud champion.

01:28:16Kane, you have to believe The Rock's a proud champion.

01:28:19He didn't want the match in that way.

01:28:21Look at that.

01:28:22Kane back in the ring.

01:28:23The big brain machine back in the ring.

01:28:26Kane back may be hell for Rikishi.

01:28:28Uh-oh.

01:28:28Kane is back.

01:28:30Look at this.

01:28:30A jump slam for Rikishi.

01:28:32Jump slam by Kane.

01:28:34Rikishi is shut up.

01:28:36Uh-oh.

01:28:36Look at Rock.

01:28:37Rock, back on back.

01:28:39Rock laying the smack down.

01:28:41I'm a big brain machine.

01:28:42Don't forget Kane is winning the match.

01:28:44WWE over Kane is the winner.

01:28:46But The Rock retains the WWF title.

01:28:51I still don't get this.

01:28:53Why?

01:28:53Why did Rikishi come out here?

01:28:55Nonetheless, Kane, Kane wins the match.

01:28:58But Rock, Rock keeps his WWF title.

01:29:01I'm already ready to go!

01:29:02We're ready to go!

01:29:03The Rock.

01:29:03If you do...

01:29:04We have to make it...

01:29:05The Rock.

01:29:05The Rock is just amazing.
