00:00:19Why, why would The Undertaker bow down in servitude to a man like Paul Heyman?

00:00:26Because I control The Undertaker's conscience, Paul Bearer.

00:00:32There will come a day where The Undertaker will realize that he should be loyal to me simply based on

00:00:40my greatness.

00:00:41But in the meantime, even the big dog needs to be trained.

00:00:51Wait a minute!

00:00:52What?

00:00:53The Undertaker is in the ring!

00:00:56Where the hell did he come from?

00:00:59Oh my, what the hell is that?

00:01:02Undertaker going after Rob Van Damme, what's he doing?

00:01:05A vicious assault on Rob Van Damme!

00:01:08Cena is in trouble, Cole!

00:01:11No!

00:01:11Don't do this Undertaker!

00:01:12Don't do this!

00:01:13Two stone pile driver!

00:01:16There is no question that The Undertaker did the right thing in Paul Heyman's mind!

00:01:21What effect will this have on the entire SmackDown locker room?

00:01:34Listen, I appreciate your concern, I got it under control, don't worry about it.

00:01:38Hey, listen, you know what you're doing?

00:01:40Seriously.

00:01:41You don't think I know what I'm doing?

00:01:42You don't think I know who I'm messing with?

00:01:43No, John, seriously.

00:01:44I got this.

00:01:44You can't go out there, don't go out there.

00:01:46No, no, it's cool, don't worry about it.

00:01:47Hey, listen, as your friend, I'm just telling you this is suicide.

00:01:50Well, there's something I gotta do for myself.

00:01:54Suicide?

00:01:55What's he looking to do?

00:01:58We are live here tonight in Orlando, Florida.

00:02:01Welcome to SmackDown.

00:02:02It could be a wild ride as we get set for the Great American Bash this Sunday.

00:02:08Michael Cole and Taz at ringside.

00:02:10And here comes the United States champion with plenty on his mind.

00:02:17So, I think you're right.

00:02:21One life.

00:02:22This is a 27-hour match.

00:02:24What is Cena going to do here, Colton?

00:02:26Suicide?

00:02:27What's going on here?

00:02:28Yeah, you heard Charlie Haas say that it is suicide, what John Cena's about to do.

00:02:32You know, on Sunday, Cena defends the United States championship in a final four-way elimination match.

00:02:38And I wonder if that is what this is all about.

00:02:43It must be.

00:02:45Well, I guess we're gonna find out.

00:02:47The doctor's in the house.

00:02:50Kill the music.

00:02:51Kill the music.

00:02:52Kill the music.

00:03:03He looks serious, though.

00:03:10O-Town, that's some love right there, and I appreciate it.

00:03:19I appreciate it because all day I've been hearing, Cena, it's suicide.

00:03:23Don't go out there, you're gonna get killed.

00:03:25You don't know what you're doing.

00:03:26You don't know who you're messing with.

00:03:31Normally, you even say the name Undertaker in the wrong tone of voice, and you're gonna pay for it.

00:03:42You don't know who you're doing, but facts are facts.

00:03:45Y'all saw it.

00:03:47Last week, I got Tombstone right in the middle of this ring.

00:03:56Hey, listen, listen.

00:03:58I respect the Undertaker legacy as much as everybody in this building.

00:04:07But I'm a man, and I don't back down from no man.

00:04:16So I don't care if you're the Undertaker, the phenom, with a decade of destruction, the dead man.

00:04:26Man, right now, I need an explanation.

00:04:31I need to know what the hell you were doing, dawg.

00:04:34Well, wait a minute.

00:04:35I was expecting the Undertaker.

00:04:37He is here tonight.

00:04:39But instead, it sounds like it.

00:04:41Yes, we are going to get the general manager, Kurt Angle, and his assistant, Luther Reigns.

00:04:46Oh, yeah.

00:04:47Kurt Angle got a big smile on his face.

00:04:49I don't know what to smile about.

00:04:50Still in the wheelchair.

00:04:52He's laying in a cast, and he can't wrestle anymore, but the big grin angle's got on him.

00:04:57It's been a long time since we've seen the general manager smiling.

00:05:02John Cena, baby, how you doing?

00:05:04Lumpy, I'm having a bad day.

00:05:06What do you want?

00:05:08Oh, I feel bad for you.

00:05:10You know, John, I can't help but notice how sad you feel.

00:05:17And I have to tell you that I never felt this happy before.

00:05:22I've had so much to be sad about, so much to be upset about.

00:05:26Now, I actually have something that I can be very, very happy about.

00:05:32You see, last week, you suggested to me that deep down inside, I wanted to be just like you.

00:05:45And you know something, John, I think you're right, which is why all weekend long, I came up with a

00:05:55rap just for you.

00:05:57You came up with a rap?

00:05:58Oh, yes, I did.

00:05:59And it's a good one, I think.

00:06:01Oh, brother, if it's whack, I will smack your eye crooked and make you leave town like Tracy McGrady.

00:06:06Now, Cena, you're not going to ruin my day.

00:06:12You see, the way I see it is I won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freaking neck.

00:06:17I think I can handle a little hip-hop.

00:06:23So, with all due respect, here it goes.

00:06:27My name is Kurt Angle.

00:06:29I try to be nice.

00:06:32I'm an Olympic gold medalist, not some weak vanilla ice.

00:06:39Which is why I'm happy I no longer have the blues.

00:06:44Because come this Sunday, John Cena, you're going to lose.

00:06:52I think it's quite sad, maybe even tragic.

00:06:56You'll be a bigger loser than the Orlando Magic.

00:07:02Bye-bye, T-Math.

00:07:09You think you're so slick, like a pool of grease.

00:07:15But tonight, John Cena, you're going to rest in peace.

00:07:26Translation, would you like one?

00:07:29Cena, you have a lot more to worry about than your Fatal 4-Way match this Sunday.

00:07:35Because tonight, you will go one-on-one with The Undertaker.

00:07:43Oh, my!

00:07:45Good God!

00:07:46That is huge!

00:07:50Oh, Cena.

00:07:52Cena.

00:07:54Word life.

00:07:57I'll tell you what, Cole, say what you want to say about Kurt Angle.

00:08:01But not only is he smiling, but now I'm smiling, too.

00:08:04That is a euphongous match, and it's tonight.

00:08:06Three days from his United States title defense, John Cena must beat The Undertaker tonight.

00:08:13What a main event.

00:08:15Two superstars second and not one of the biggest matches in the history of SmackDown tonight.

00:08:21But coming up next, 10 cruiserweights in an over-the-top-o-battle royal.

00:08:26The winner faces the new cruiserweight champion, Rey Mysterio, this Sunday at the Great American Bash.

00:08:32Who will be the number one contender?

00:08:34We'll find out next.

00:08:37We are back on SmackDown, Cruiserweight spilling the ring, set for the 10-man over-the-top-o-battle royal.

00:08:42The winner to meet the Cruiserweight champion, Rey Mysterio, Sunday at the Great American Bash.

00:08:47Speaking of the devil, Rey Mysterio will be joining us during this match, doing color commentary.

00:08:52I mean, the new Cruiserweight champ joining us, Cole.

00:08:54That's pretty cool.

00:08:55I can't wait to talk to Rey Mysterio and get his thoughts on who Rey wants to face Sunday at

00:09:01the Great American Bash.

00:09:02Wait a minute.

00:09:03God, I can't wait.

00:09:04I can't wait to see what you want to take with us, John Cena tonight.

00:09:06It's gonna be fabulous.

00:09:09Well, well, well.

00:09:10If it isn't the next WWE Champion, JBL, how you doing?

00:09:14I'm doing great.

00:09:17Luther, I just wanted to come in here and tell you what a fantastic job that you are doing as

00:09:22general manager.

00:09:22Well, thank you very much.

00:09:24We are so proud of what you're doing, especially considering your physical condition.

00:09:28I mean, you are an example, a shining example to wheelchair-bound people all across the world.

00:09:35Well, thank you very much, John.

00:09:36So what are you here for?

00:09:37What do you mean?

00:09:38I saw the way that you handled that disrespectful John Cena, and I just want to tell you that there's

00:09:43a guy on our SmackDown roster that is, he's like a cancer.

00:09:47He's actually worse than John Cena.

00:09:49I think I know what you're talking about.

00:09:51Eddie Guerrero.

00:09:52Now, I don't have to remind you how disrespectful he was to you and the way he cheated to win,

00:09:58to beat you at WrestleMania 20.

00:10:01And I think, look, I don't want to tell you how to do your job.

00:10:05You're doing a great job.

00:10:06But in my opinion, making Eddie Guerrero wrestle a match tonight, just three days before the Texas Bull Rope match,

00:10:13the Great American Bash, is a great way to teach Eddie a little bit of respect.

00:10:21I love the idea.

00:10:23I mean, I wish I could do it myself, but with this condition here, I don't.

00:10:27I'd love to do it, too.

00:10:29I tell you, you know, I just...

00:10:36What do you have in mind?

00:10:38You know the impressive debut Luther had last week on SmackDown?

00:10:42Uh-huh.

00:10:43I think Luther would be a perfect opponent for Eddie Guerrero tonight.

00:10:52What do you got before him?

00:10:55Oh, I'm up for it.

00:10:57And by the end of the match, I will teach Eddie Guerrero some respect.

00:11:04Well, then, boys, it's official.

00:11:06Tonight, Eddie Guerrero will go one-on-one against Luther Reigns.

00:11:13Outstanding.

00:11:14You said it.

00:11:16Come on, you gotta be kidding me.

00:11:18How is that fair?

00:11:19Three days away from the Bull Rope match of the Great American Bash.

00:11:22Eddie's gotta meet Luther Reigns tonight.

00:11:24Well, it might not be fair, but it's gonna happen.

00:11:26From El Paso, Texas, weighing 213 pounds, Chavo Guerrero.

00:11:33It's gonna happen, Cole.

00:11:34I mean, you heard Kurt Angle lay it down.

00:11:36I mean, JBL was a pretty good idea, though.

00:11:38It was.

00:11:39Well, right now, we turn our thoughts to this ten-man over-the-top rope, Battle Royal.

00:11:44Here comes the champion.

00:11:52The new Cruiserweight Champion last week on SmackDown.

00:11:56Rey Mysterio went one-on-one with Chavo Classic, and Mysterio would pick up the victory.

00:12:03Oh, yes, he did.

00:12:04And I'll tell you what, Chavo Guerrero himself tried to help out his dad, but to no avail.

00:12:08And here it comes, 619, new Cruiserweight Champion, bam, right on SmackDown.

00:12:13And after the 619, Rey Mysterio would drop the dime on Chavo Classic.

00:12:19Rey Mysterio, the brand-new Cruiserweight Champion with a victory over Chavo Classic,

00:12:25as we are joined now at ringside by the new Cruiserweight Champion.

00:12:28And, Rey, first off, congratulations on a great victory last week.

00:12:32Thank you very much.

00:12:33I'm so proud to have this belt around my waist again.

00:12:36I'll tell you, Rey, you're going to get a look at who your opponent's going to be Sunday

00:12:40at the Great American Bash.

00:12:42The winner of this over-the-top rope Battle Royal will face you in three days at the Great

00:12:47American Bash.

00:12:48That's right.

00:12:48Tenemos 10 Grandes Nuchelores, tame grit wrestlers in this ring, and only one of them

00:12:53is going to be the winner, and I will be facing him at the Great American Bash.

00:12:57And again, Taz, the rules for the over-the-top rope Battle Royal.

00:13:00I mean, if your feet hit the ground, that's it, you're out.

00:13:03Last man standing.

00:13:04Now, Rey, who do you want to see win this thing?

00:13:06Who do you want to face this thing?

00:13:07You know what, Taz?

00:13:07I got to give credit to all these competitors in the ring, man.

00:13:10They all give 100%, and...

00:13:13Yeah, but you got to be picking...

00:13:15That was Chavo beating the daylights out of...

00:13:18You got to be picking at least one guy.

00:13:19Who do you want to pick?

00:13:20Who do you pick?

00:13:21I can face anybody in that ring.

00:13:23I believe that.

00:13:24I like competition.

00:13:25I'll tell you, Rey, it's got to be a great honor for you to defend the Cruiserweight Championship

00:13:29of the Great American Bash in the military town of Norfolk, Virginia.

00:13:33And of course, all active members of the Armed Services can get the Great American Bash

00:13:37on pay-per-view for free, and you've got to be so proud to defend your title in that type

00:13:40of setting.

00:13:41That's right, Cole.

00:13:41Just like the troops are representing fighting for our country,

00:13:45Sunday at the Bash, I will be representing my belt,

00:13:48and I will be fighting for my Cruiserweight title.

00:13:50Well, that's all good, man.

00:13:53And Spike Dudley up over the top.

00:13:56Spike was way up in the air there.

00:13:58Goodbye, Spike.

00:13:59And it will not be Spike Dudley heading to the Great American Bash.

00:14:02Nine superstars are left.

00:14:03Nanzio.

00:14:04Nanzio's out.

00:14:05Nanzio's out.

00:14:06What is he doing?

00:14:07Well, wait a minute.

00:14:07The referee didn't see it.

00:14:08The referee, I believe, is with Spike Dudley.

00:14:10Nanzio back into the matchup.

00:14:11I mean, only a neighborhood guy would be that quick.

00:14:13I think, hey, do for the neighborhood.

00:14:15Nanzio.

00:14:16Is that what Italians do?

00:14:17Hey, listen.

00:14:18Don't let me go there with the Mexicans, you know what I'm saying?

00:14:20And look at Shannon Moore on the apron of the ring,

00:14:23Paris Lee close to being eliminated from the matchup.

00:14:26And look at Chavo working on,

00:14:27I believe that's Funaki in the corner.

00:14:29Yes, it is.

00:14:29That is Funaki.

00:14:30That's why you believe it.

00:14:31And there goes Funaki.

00:14:32Oh, face first in the top turnbuckle.

00:14:34You and our Chavo's had some battles.

00:14:36I got to give credit to Funaki, man.

00:14:37He's one tough wrestler.

00:14:39Why don't you give some credit to Chavo?

00:14:41What does he do?

00:14:42I give credit to Chavo, too.

00:14:43I give credit to everybody in that ring.

00:14:44All right.

00:14:44Oh, wow.

00:14:45Paul London with a unique move.

00:14:46He took the leapfrog and the kick to the back,

00:14:48a mule kick of sorts.

00:14:49That was.

00:14:50That definitely was.

00:14:50Paul London now, this would be illegal in a normal matchup,

00:14:53but not here in a battle royale situation.

00:14:56Chavo, hello.

00:14:58Nunzio is officially eliminated.

00:15:00Deserved.

00:15:00Now, he's out.

00:15:01Now, he deserves to be out.

00:15:02Yeah, you're right about that.

00:15:04It will not be Nunzio heading to the Great American Bash.

00:15:06Well, it will not be.

00:15:09You got Jamie Noble.

00:15:10He's a former Cruiserweight champ.

00:15:11Noble can get it done right now.

00:15:13A lot of former Cruiserweight champs in the ring, Chavo Guerrero, Billy Kidman, Jamie Noble,

00:15:17Scottie Chuhati, a former tag team champion.

00:15:20I pretty much battle most of these guys in the ring.

00:15:23You have, I mean, I still wish you'd pick someone, but I get it.

00:15:26It don't matter, right?

00:15:27It don't matter.

00:15:28I am kind of antsy to find out.

00:15:30What?

00:15:31Paul London not eliminated.

00:15:32And look at Nunzio.

00:15:33Nunzio grabbing Paul.

00:15:35Nunzio got eliminated from the matchup.

00:15:37He just yanked Paul London off the apron.

00:15:39Well, that's legal.

00:15:40I mean, you know, it's legal.

00:15:41How can you say that's legal?

00:15:43Nunzio was eliminated already.

00:15:44How is that legal?

00:15:44Well, it is legal.

00:15:44I'm not gonna say it was legal.

00:15:46You said it.

00:15:46Nunzio was out.

00:15:47He should be on his way out.

00:15:48Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story, Ray, okay?

00:15:51Come on, you gotta use some commentary.

00:15:52Nonetheless.

00:15:53I'm a professional, you know what I'm saying?

00:15:54You're right, you're right.

00:15:55You're a professional.

00:15:56You call matches with blinders on, and Funaki with a right hand to Chavo Guerrero.

00:16:01And now Scottie and Funaki playing pinball with Chavo Guerrero.

00:16:04And now Noble here, Jamie Noble's in trouble, looks like Kidman's trying to get rid of Noble.

00:16:08And Funaki up over the top rope, and Funaki trying to skin the cat back in the ring.

00:16:13Remember, both feet have to touch the floor, has not happened yet.

00:16:17Now, Ray, if you were in there, would you do one of your daredevil-like high-flying crazy suicide moves?

00:16:22I would do anything you would to be the winner.

00:16:24I believe that.

00:16:25And Shannon Moore lands on the apron.

00:16:29Kyo Shannon is hanging on.

00:16:31Beautiful.

00:16:33Only one leg went down, though, so both feet have to touch the ground.

00:16:37And look at Shannon Moore, Kyo and Shawn Moore both eliminated.

00:16:41Four feet touched the ground, correct, Amundo.

00:16:44And Ray, as you can see there, the high-flying maneuvers of Cruiserweights can get in trouble here in this

00:16:48type of matchup.

00:16:49If you lose your balance, you go over the top rope and you're eliminated.

00:16:52These guys are hungry, man.

00:16:53They're coming after you, man.

00:16:55You got the title on your shoulder here.

00:16:57I'm sitting over here.

00:16:58I'll play until Sunday.

00:17:00Hey, look at the heart of Funaki.

00:17:01Funaki is still hanging on, still has not been eliminated.

00:17:04Well, if Chavo keeps stomping on Funaki's chest, you're gonna see us.

00:17:06Look at Scottie.

00:17:07Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:17:08No.

00:17:09Is he gonna do it?

00:17:10Is Scottie gonna go for it?

00:17:13Give it to me.

00:17:14Come on.

00:17:14Sounds like there's a worm in the house.

00:17:16Let me spell it out for you in Spanish.

00:17:19Doble U.

00:17:20O.

00:17:21R.

00:17:21M.

00:17:23Boo.

00:17:24What is that spell?

00:17:25That's worm.

00:17:26That's why it's Spanish.

00:17:28Whoa.

00:17:29Oh, look at Scottie.

00:17:31He's out.

00:17:32Jamie's out.

00:17:33Nice dunk by Kidman.

00:17:34He's out.

00:17:35He's out.

00:17:36He's out.

00:17:37Beautiful drop kick by Billy Kidman.

00:17:39He's still holding on.

00:17:40That's what I'm talking about.

00:17:41I'm picking Kidman here.

00:17:42I'm picking Kidman.

00:17:43Billy Kidman off the leg, scissors.

00:17:45Chavo's in trouble.

00:17:45Billy Kidman standing tall.

00:17:47The winner of this match heads to the Great American Bash to face Rey Mysterio for the Cruiserweight title Sunday.

00:17:53Look at this.

00:17:54No, no, no.

00:17:55Finaki, no.

00:17:56Finally, finally eliminated, Finaki.

00:17:59Oof.

00:17:59Chavo's in trouble.

00:18:00So is Jamie Noble.

00:18:01Billy Kidman off the big back body drop.

00:18:03Kidman is looking great.

00:18:05Kidman is.

00:18:05That's why I picked him.

00:18:06He's gonna win it.

00:18:07Look at this.

00:18:09Wow.

00:18:09Another takedown.

00:18:10Two for the price of one by Kidman.

00:18:12Kidman's gotta get these superstars over the top rope.

00:18:15Chavo back to his feet.

00:18:17Reversal right here by Chavo.

00:18:19Here goes Kidman.

00:18:19Billy Kidman.

00:18:20Look at Jamie Noble from behind.

00:18:21Yeah.

00:18:22Nice.

00:18:23Right on his shoulder.

00:18:24Beautiful German suplex by Jamie Noble.

00:18:27Now Chavo wants to work together with Jamie Noble, I believe, to get Billy Kidman out of the ring.

00:18:31You heard Chavo directing Trap?

00:18:33Well, looks like, looks like Kidman's in trouble and Chavo and Jamie Noble having their way with Kidman.

00:18:39This is the type of situation where you can't trust the guy you're in the ring with.

00:18:42He wants to give him a double key back in the last because he's gonna turn on the Chavo.

00:18:45You know what I mean?

00:18:46Eventually it'll happen.

00:18:47Right, right.

00:18:48Chavo and Noble working well as a team right here.

00:18:51Billy Kidman brought back to his feet.

00:18:53Now you hear the Chavo sucks chance, which that's not nice.

00:18:56Look at Billy Kidman desperately holding on.

00:18:59Oh, nice.

00:18:59Dear life.

00:19:00An elbow to Chavo.

00:19:01Noble trying to eliminate Billy Kidman now.

00:19:03Kidman's hanging on those ropes on.

00:19:06And Chavo with those clubbing blows to the back of the neck.

00:19:09Three men left.

00:19:10The last man standing heads to the Great American Bash Sunday.

00:19:13You look like you're getting a little nervous over here.

00:19:15You know what?

00:19:16I am.

00:19:16I don't blame you, man.

00:19:18My eyes are going back and forth.

00:19:20Ray's had battles with all these superstars and none of them have been easy.

00:19:24If I had to pick one right now, I would probably go for Kidman.

00:19:26Kidman, not anymore.

00:19:27Look, Billy Kidman.

00:19:29He's my pick, Kidman.

00:19:30Unless he gets thrown out, then he won't be my pick.

00:19:32Well, it's been a double team by Chavo and Jamie Noble.

00:19:35Kidman up over the top.

00:19:36Hang on, Billy.

00:19:36Billy Kidman hanging on.

00:19:37Hang on, Billy.

00:19:39Look at Billy, he's got heart, he's hanging on.

00:19:40Billy Kidman lands on the apron, still not eliminated.

00:19:43Two against one now, Cole.

00:19:44Noble and Chavo desperately trying to knock Kidman off the apron.

00:19:47And frustration perhaps setting in.

00:19:50If I would not be the champ right now, that would probably be me right now.

00:19:53I would be in Kidman's shoes.

00:19:55You'd be getting beat up by two guys?

00:19:57Yeah, I probably would.

00:19:59Kidman whipped across the ring, ducks underneath the double clothesline.

00:20:02And a double clothesline on his own.

00:20:04A lot of explosiveness in that double clothesline there by Billy Kidman.

00:20:08You gotta give it up for Billy Kidman.

00:20:10Come on, kid.

00:20:11Fighting the odds.

00:20:13And now Jamie Noble.

00:20:14Uh-oh.

00:20:14Can Kidman eliminate Jamie Noble?

00:20:16Noble's in trouble.

00:20:17And Chavo Guerrero trying to eliminate Kidman.

00:20:20Smart, smart.

00:20:21Noble's on the apron.

00:20:22I'm telling you Chavo's gonna toss both.

00:20:23Chavo's gonna toss Kidman.

00:20:25Did Jamie still leave alone?

00:20:26Billy Kidman hangs on the apron as well.

00:20:28Both men back into the ring.

00:20:30We're still at three superstars left.

00:20:32Three very credible cruiserweights.

00:20:35I mean double team effort continues here on Billy Kidman.

00:20:39This is a two-on-one assault for the last few minutes on Billy Kidman.

00:20:42And Kidman perched now on the top rope.

00:20:45It's a matter of time for Kidman's post.

00:20:47He's gonna be done, I'm telling you.

00:20:48And Chavo desperately.

00:20:50And look at Noble trying to eliminate Billy Kidman.

00:20:53I don't know.

00:20:53What's he doing?

00:20:53I don't know.

00:20:54There you go.

00:20:55Big elbow to your forehead.

00:20:57So you have room for Kidman here?

00:20:59Yes.

00:20:59Okay.

00:21:00Oh, look at Billy Kidman hung up.

00:21:02The trio wall as Jamie Noble continues the assault on Billy Kidman.

00:21:07No place for Kidman to go here.

00:21:08He's trapped.

00:21:09Trapped.

00:21:10Now what?

00:21:10Look at Chavo.

00:21:11Watch Chavo!

00:21:15That means he turns on him.

00:21:16That's what he gets for cheap.

00:21:18All right, all right.

00:21:18Jamie Noble, Benedict Arnold, Chavo Guerrero.

00:21:22Chavo over the top rope, hanging out of the apron.

00:21:24Noble does not know that Chavo has not been eliminated.

00:21:27Correct.

00:21:28And now Billy Kidman taking control right here and beating the car out of Jamie Noble.

00:21:33And Chavo Guerrero trying to regain his thoughts over in the other side of the ring.

00:21:38Kidman might have punched himself out here.

00:21:39Kick to the midsection.

00:21:41Uh-oh.

00:21:41Jamie Noble.

00:21:42Going for that tiger trauma.

00:21:43He's going for it.

00:21:44Nice double leg by Kidman.

00:21:45Jamie Noble, slingshot.

00:21:50And we're down to two.

00:21:52I don't have to worry about Jamie now.

00:21:53You don't, but you gotta worry about either.

00:21:54I think I don't want no Kidman.

00:21:55Come on, Kidman.

00:21:59Kidman, I thought eliminated Chavo, but Chavo hung on.

00:22:02Kidman thought Chavo's eliminated, but Chavo's still fighting back.

00:22:06One of these two men will be Rey Mysterio Sunday for the Cruiserweight title.

00:22:09Billy Kidman top rope, had to plant Chavo break counter.

00:22:13Off the bulldog, yeah, nice counter.

00:22:14Now look at this baby.

00:22:15Going for that glory.

00:22:16Going for the glory bomb.

00:22:17That's right, that's right.

00:22:18Billy Kidman eliminated by Chavo Guerrero.

00:22:22Chavo meets Mysterio Sunday for the title.

00:22:25Number one contender on the Cruiserweight Championship, Chavo Guerrero.

00:22:33That's the kind of action you exclusively see on SmackDown.

00:22:36Cruiserweight action.

00:22:37It's Sunday at the Great American Bass Pass.

00:22:39A renewal of a great rivalry between Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero.

00:22:44Yeah, two of the greatest Cruiserweights in the world today will do battle in Norfolk,

00:22:49Virginia this Sunday at the Great American Bass.

00:22:51Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero for the Cruiserweight Championship.

00:22:55Well, let's take another look at the closing points of this matchup.

00:22:58First, the elimination of Jamie Norbert.

00:23:01Hold on the second rope.

00:23:02And look at Chavo turn his back on the many.

00:23:03And Rockwit close to the matchup.

00:23:05I heard about fair play because earlier in the match he got closed on by Noble.

00:23:08Look at this unique maneuver.

00:23:09It is Gory, Gory Bomba, even 30 outside over the top rope.

00:23:13Chavo Guerrero goes to the bash for the Cruiserweight Champion.

00:23:16Will Rey Mysterio be holding the Cruiserweight gold Sunday?

00:23:20Or will Chavo Guerrero become the new Cruiserweight Champion?

00:23:28We're back on SmackDown.

00:23:30That's Cement Mixer will be at the Great American Bash Sunday.

00:23:32And if The Undertaker doesn't do the right thing, Paul Bearer will be its victim.

00:23:37Hey Cole, could you imagine a tide of cement pouring on Paul Bearer,

00:23:41drowning him, suffocating him in a concrete grip.

00:23:45Wow.

00:23:45It will happen if The Undertaker doesn't do the right thing, whatever that is.

00:23:50Yeah, I know.

00:23:53No, no, no, no, no.

00:23:55That's exactly what I don't want.

00:23:57I don't want a safety latch on this.

00:23:59Don't you understand?

00:24:00I want you to build me a monstrosity.

00:24:03A concrete crypt that no man can bust out of and no man can bust into.

00:24:10I want you to build me something along the lines of this blueprint

00:24:13that people will either see this Sunday...

00:24:16Come on.

00:24:17Or they will regret missing for the rest of their lives.

00:24:21I'm telling you, I want something so spectacular with three inch thick glass,

00:24:26so everything that goes on inside can be viewed from all directions.

00:24:31And I want my concrete crypt delivered to the scope in Norfolk this Sunday.

00:24:37No, no, no.

00:24:44What can I do for you gentlemen?

00:24:47Paul, cut the crap.

00:24:48We got a match in three days against The Undertaker at the Great American Bash.

00:24:52We want to know what you got planned.

00:24:55Look, you said The Undertaker would do the right thing or else.

00:25:00Paul, what is the right thing?

00:25:02The Undertaker will do the right thing this Sunday because I am in control of The Undertaker.

00:25:07You guys have nothing to worry about.

00:25:08Hey!

00:25:09Bubba!

00:25:10Trust me!

00:25:12Huh!

00:25:12Trust you?

00:25:13Yes!

00:25:14Where have I heard that before?

00:25:15What the...

00:25:18Oh!

00:25:20Oh!

00:25:20Mordecai!

00:25:20And Hardcore Holly!

00:25:22Oh!

00:25:23It's a fight!

00:25:24Just...

00:25:25Oh!

00:25:26What is this about?

00:25:27Let go!

00:25:28Let go!

00:25:29Let go!

00:25:29Oh!

00:25:30My God!

00:25:33Uh-oh!

00:25:34Uh-oh!

00:25:35I guess the one-man crusade is underway by the Pale Rider.

00:25:39Let go!

00:25:41Oh!

00:25:42I had to start.

00:25:43What is this about?

00:25:44Let go!

00:25:45All I know is Mordecai and Hardcore Holly have headed out to the arena here in Orlando.

00:25:50Holly and Mordecai exchanging blood.

00:25:53Where are they?

00:25:54They're right behind us.

00:25:55Here in the corner of the arena.

00:25:56Oh, I see.

00:25:56I see them, and now we're getting...

00:25:58Some people trying to...

00:25:59We gotta separate these guys.

00:26:01What the hell happened?

00:26:02I don't know.

00:26:03Hardcore Holly wants more of Mordecai.

00:26:06Well, there's no back down in Hardcore Holly.

00:26:08It doesn't seem like Mordecai has any either.

00:26:10And Mordecai...

00:26:11Oh, oh, oh, oh!

00:26:12He talks about a lot of people in the locker room.

00:26:15Come on!

00:26:15He's got a fleet of...

00:26:16Come on!

00:26:17I'm speaking his mind.

00:26:18We know that.

00:26:19Well, he wants everyone to believe like he does.

00:26:21And everyone's a sinner in Mordecai's mind.

00:26:24Come on!

00:26:25Break it up!

00:26:25Cut it out!

00:26:26Break it up!

00:26:27Break it up!

00:26:28He said break it up!

00:26:29What are you doing?

00:26:30Come on, Mordecai!

00:26:32I'm gonna crucify you!

00:26:35I'm gonna crucify you!

00:26:37Break it up, guys!

00:26:39Break it up!

00:26:40I don't wanna see this happen again!

00:26:45That's enough!

00:26:45Yeah, that is enough!

00:26:47Come on, listen!

00:26:48Whoa, whoa, whoa!

00:26:48Hey, come here!

00:26:49Get over here!

00:26:50It's a company of Chris!

00:26:52Please.

00:26:53Are we clear for tonight?

00:26:55Undertaker versus Cena?

00:26:56Kurt, you have nothing to worry about.

00:26:58I hope not.

00:26:59Kurt, tonight, once again, you will bear witness to The Undertaker with a demonstration of loyalty

00:27:06to Paul Heyman by taking out John Cena.

00:27:15Ha, ha, ha!

00:27:17Oh, I'm gonna love this.

00:27:20I'll tell you what a bizarre night it has been on SmackDown.

00:27:23Mordecai and Hardcore Holly in a fight in the back and snooping into the arena.

00:27:28And Paul Heyman says The Undertaker is gonna show his loyalty by taking out John Cena here tonight.

00:27:34And here comes the bronze warrior, Kenzo Suzuki.

00:27:40The following contest is scheduled for one fall, making his way to the ring from the land of the rising

00:27:47sun, weighing 250 pounds, Kenzo Suzuki!

00:27:53Kenzo Suzuki and, of course, the geisha girl.

00:27:55We understand her name is Hiroko, helping Kenzo to the ring.

00:28:00Kenzo extremely impressive with a victory over Spike Dudley last week.

00:28:05Yeah, Spike Dudley, pound for pound, one of the toughest competitors in the game today.

00:28:08But I'll tell you what, Kenzo Suzuki, wow, just screaming out orders for these people that are carrying him out.

00:28:14But Kenzo took out Spike last week, very impressive fashion.

00:28:17And there's Hiroko?

00:28:18Hiroko.

00:28:19Hiroko.

00:28:20But tonight, perhaps the toughest test since coming to America.

00:28:24Perhaps tonight, Kenzo Suzuki has bitten off way more than even he can chew.

00:28:30Well, look at those eyes.

00:28:31I think this man can chew a lot.

00:28:33I'm a last man!

00:28:36And from Orlando, Florida, weighing in at 265 pounds, Billy Gunn!

00:28:45Now, Billy Gunn with the hometown crowd behind him here tonight.

00:28:47I'll tell you, this is an interesting matchup.

00:28:50Kenzo Suzuki has this contempt for the American way, and I don't believe anybody is more All-American than one

00:28:58Billy Gunn.

00:28:59Oh, I agree with that all the way, no doubt about it.

00:29:01And I don't think Kenzo Suzuki is too impressed for ever flamboyant Billy Gunn.

00:29:07And just a reminder about the Great American Bash coming in from the great military down in North Pole, Virginia

00:29:11on Sunday.

00:29:1230 USOs across the United States will be airing the Great American Bash courtesy of the WWE in support of

00:29:19all our troops.

00:29:20And we're about to get underway now with this matchup.

00:29:23But right now, disrobing is Kenzo Suzuki at the hands of his geisha girl.

00:29:28And her name is?

00:29:29Hiroko.

00:29:30Hiroko.

00:29:31Close.

00:29:31Check.

00:29:32And Billy Gunn and Kenzo Suzuki set to start things off.

00:29:35And this, really looking forward to this matchup.

00:29:37See how the veteran Billy Gunn handles this relatively unknown but very impressive Suzuki.

00:29:43Billy Gunn right there muscling, muscling Kenzo Suzuki in the corner.

00:29:47Billy Gunn's been in the ring with so many different competitors, it's not his first rodeo.

00:29:52As these two superstars lock up still to come tonight.

00:29:55Eddie Guerrero forced into a matchup against that very brutal Luther Reigns.

00:30:00And one of the biggest matches in my recollection in the history of SmackDown.

00:30:05The Undertaker versus the United States Champion John Cena here tonight.

00:30:12Here's Kenzo Suzuki reversal Billy Gunn.

00:30:16Nice elbow knocked down by Billy Gunn.

00:30:18Billy Gunn going to work on Kenzo Suzuki.

00:30:20Suzuki really takes his time in the ring as well.

00:30:23You had a good point earlier.

00:30:24This is probably the toughest competition that Suzuki has faced so far here in the United States of America.

00:30:29Here's the reversal.

00:30:30Billy Gunn whipped into the corner.

00:30:32He tried to power out and he did.

00:30:34Uh-oh.

00:30:34Watch out, Billy.

00:30:34Oh!

00:30:35Right into that shot.

00:30:36I saw that coming.

00:30:37Billy couldn't, because Billy had his back turned.

00:30:39Looks like I wrote Hiroko like that.

00:30:42Hiroko.

00:30:43The Geisha Girl as the USA chants begin here in Orlando.

00:30:48I don't think that-

00:30:49Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:30:50And what a knee driven to the throat.

00:30:52Here's the cover again.

00:30:54This is why he hooks the leg, but Billy Gunn does kick out.

00:30:57Well, I think these USA chants are kinda, you know, firing up Suzuki.

00:31:01And now a version of a guillotine.

00:31:02Again, there's Hiroko.

00:31:04Hiroko.

00:31:07Yeah, Hiroko.

00:31:09Say a name again.

00:31:10Every time they show you, you gotta say a name, right?

00:31:12Very attractive, young woman.

00:31:14Attractive, she's got a little white makeup on her face.

00:31:16How's that attractive?

00:31:17That's the custom in Japan.

00:31:18You've had her a number of times.

00:31:19I have, but I don't think he's attractive in my opinion.

00:31:22One thing Kenzo Suzuki has not shown in recent weeks, he's shown no remorse.

00:31:26He's been very unrelenting his assault in the spirit of Suzuki.

00:31:30He's unhappy.

00:31:31If he's that unhappy, why can't he stay in Japan?

00:31:33And Billy Gunn bounces off the rope.

00:31:35Suzuki was caught, and Billy Gunn with the right hand.

00:31:38And this could be the opening that Billy Gunn needs, as Hiroko does not like what she sees

00:31:43at this point of the matchup.

00:31:45I'm not too sure that Suzuki's ever been popped in a face like that.

00:31:49Billy Gunn just welcomed Suzuki to WWE, I'll tell you that.

00:31:53Well, Suzuki may not know where he's at.

00:31:55I'll count Japanese, maybe he understands that.

00:31:57Suzuki going through some gyrations as he makes his way to the-

00:32:01Oh!

00:32:01To his feet.

00:32:02Uh-oh, uh-oh.

00:32:02Oh, and a shot.

00:32:03Gonna get a shot.

00:32:04Shot that off, shot the shot off by Gunn.

00:32:06Kenzo Suzuki with another right hand.

00:32:09You're not shaking that off, my man.

00:32:11Suzuki popped right up and walked right into a clothesline.

00:32:14Should've stood down.

00:32:15He controlled completely.

00:32:16Tell you what?

00:32:17I think Suzuki might get his first loss here on SmackDown.

00:32:20Maybe, maybe.

00:32:22Big possibility.

00:32:22Big splash by Billy Gunn.

00:32:24The 10-time Tag Team Champion doing great in singles competition.

00:32:27There's the Famouser.

00:32:28The Famouser connecting to Kenzo Suzuki.

00:32:31Yeah, but did he get it all?

00:32:32I don't know if he got it all.

00:32:33Oh, wait a minute.

00:32:33Almost there.

00:32:35I think Hiroko just threw some powder or some salt or something into the eyes of Billy Gunn.

00:32:41And Billy, I believe, can't see.

00:32:43Look at Hiroko like it's, she didn't do anything.

00:32:45She's like, she's innocent.

00:32:46She's not.

00:32:47Right in front of the referee, Charles Robinson, who immediately called for the bell.

00:32:51Billy Gunn is blinded in the ring.

00:32:54And I think the referee got some salt in his eyes as well.

00:32:56And now Suzuki taking advantage of New Zealand.

00:32:59With that choke and that yells.

00:33:01Billy Gunn's throat.

00:33:02No.

00:33:03Here it is.

00:33:04And a drive, a drive to the mat off the leg sweep.

00:33:08Third week in a row with that Jujutsu throw that old solo Gary.

00:33:11And now Hiroko acting like she didn't do nothing.

00:33:15We believe that Hiroko was an innocent Geisha girl for the past couple of weeks.

00:33:20But tonight, I believe her true colors came out.

00:33:23Yeah.

00:33:23A powder, perhaps a salt of some sort, to the eye of Billy Gunn.

00:33:27Let's take another look as I believe the referee was caught as well here.

00:33:31Let's see this.

00:33:32Check it out.

00:33:33Going for the famous of Gunn.

00:33:34Billy Gunn had this match up one.

00:33:36And Hiroko knew that.

00:33:37Let's see.

00:33:38Let's see.

00:33:38Hiroko there.

00:33:39Oh, yep.

00:33:39There it is.

00:33:40Boom.

00:33:41She chucked something at him.

00:33:43Wow.

00:33:43The referee called immediately for the belt.

00:33:45Billy Gunn with a disqualification victory.

00:33:48But Suzuki's still impressive here tonight.

00:33:53Look at Sable.

00:33:54How could you not?

00:33:56Ah.

00:33:59Yeah.

00:34:00Yeah.

00:34:00I think it would look a lot better shorter.

00:34:02Okay.

00:34:02Cool.

00:34:03Yeah.

00:34:04Hi Tori.

00:34:06Oh, hey Sable.

00:34:07Hi Sable.

00:34:08I'll be right back.

00:34:09Let me get something to fix up.

00:34:09Alright, cool.

00:34:10Thanks.

00:34:11Cute outfit.

00:34:12Oh, thank you.

00:34:14You know Tori, I was just wondering why you were promoting the Great American Bash last

00:34:17week.

00:34:18I mean, all the Smackdown divas are hosting the pay-per-view.

00:34:21Not just you.

00:34:24I'm sorry Sable, I really don't know what you're talking about.

00:34:27Honestly, they just asked me to-

00:34:28Like hell you don't Tori.

00:34:30Look, if you want to hog the spotlight, you go right ahead.

00:34:34But this Sunday, I just hope you don't trip and fall in the hot tub.

00:34:42Oh, and by the way, about your outfit, I lied.

00:34:48It makes you look fat.

00:34:53Well, at least my outfit doesn't make me look easy.

00:34:57You didn't just-

00:34:59What has gotten into Sable tonight?

00:35:04Sable, Sable, Sable.

00:35:09Come on, hey, come on Tori.

00:35:11Come on, it's enough.

00:35:12Let's get up now.

00:35:13Come on, hey, please.

00:35:14Come on, it's enough.

00:35:14Come on, what are you doing?

00:35:15I'm gonna get you.

00:35:16Come on, come on.

00:35:17It is not safe to be in the back tonight.

00:35:19Ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, the WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero meets Kurt Angle's assistant Luther Reigns.

00:35:26Well, Cole, it's not safe to be into it.

00:35:27Might not be safe to be Eddie Guerrero.

00:35:29He's gotta deal with Luther Reigns.

00:35:34Smackdown in Orlando, Florida night.

00:35:36This red hot crowd gets a treat.

00:35:38WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero in action next.

00:35:40Well, coming up Sunday, Eddie Guerrero meets John Bradshaw Layfield for the WWE title at the Great American Bash in

00:35:47a Texas full rope match.

00:35:49This all started at Judgment Day back in Los Angeles between Bradshaw and Eddie Guerrero.

00:35:58On May 16th, 2004, John Bradshaw Layfield defeated Eddie Guerrero at Judgment Day.

00:36:08I'm Bradshaw.

00:36:10You may have taken a lot out of me on Judgment Day, Holmes.

00:36:18You didn't take my WWE Championship at the front row.

00:36:26I should be WWE Champion.

00:36:31Eddie Guerrero took the WWE title.

00:36:34Kurt Angle brought it in the ring at Judgment Day and hit me with it for one reason.

00:36:39To get disqualified because I had him beat.

00:36:43But guess what, Eddie?

00:36:44Kurt Angle has told me that I get the name, the stipulation for the match at the Great American Bash.

00:36:51The match I have chose, Eddie Guerrero will not like.

00:36:56Eddie Guerrero cannot run.

00:36:57He cannot hide.

00:36:59And he cannot get disqualified.

00:37:02The Texas Bull Rope match.

00:37:05One man ties his hand to the one end of the rope.

00:37:09The other man ties his hand to the other.

00:37:12And from there, it's fair game.

00:37:14I will take the WWE Championship home with me to New York City.

00:37:21New York City?

00:37:25Damn!

00:37:27What are you doing?

00:37:28Arale, Holmes.

00:37:30We ain't going to New York City.

00:37:32We are going for a ride.

00:37:35And it's gonna be better than Disneyland.

00:37:37Arale, Holmes.

00:37:38He stole JBL's limo and he may be coming out here.

00:37:40Woo!

00:37:41Hey, Bradshaw.

00:37:43Arale, mato, wake up, ese.

00:37:46You got a good looking ride, ese.

00:37:48But it looks a little banged up, ese.

00:37:51Just like you're gonna look at the Great American Bash.

00:37:56Eddie Guerrero, this is past personal.

00:38:00Do you even know what a Bull Rope match is?

00:38:03I will bash you into oblivion.

00:38:06Let's cut the talk and let's walk the walk, Holmes.

00:38:12If I have to destroy myself to destroy you, that is what I will do.

00:38:18Nobody, nobody can stop me from becoming WWE Champion and taking my date with destiny.

00:38:40Here comes the WWE Champion, Eddie Guerrero.

00:38:45And what worries me about Sunday, Taz, is that John Bradshaw Layfield's Judgment Day will look like a cartoon compared

00:38:54to what's gonna happen in the Bull Rope match Sunday.

00:38:56Well, I remember Judgment Day, Eddie Guerrero was a mess that Judgment Day.

00:39:01He got the worst of it.

00:39:02Bradshaw put something on Eddie Guerrero in Los Angeles.

00:39:05And I'll never forget the vision of Eddie Guerrero with the proverbial face of Crimson as the mask of Crimson

00:39:11as they say.

00:39:12But I don't want to see that again.

00:39:14I don't want to see either man that happened to.

00:39:15But look at this low rider.

00:39:16That is a cool low rider.

00:39:18The WWE Champion is riding in.

00:39:20Look at that hood.

00:39:21It kind of looks like a Woody Woodpecker mount.

00:39:24You really got to get a life.

00:39:26Nonetheless, Eddie Guerrero will defend the WWE title Sunday at the Great American Bash Texas Bull Rope match against John

00:39:34Bradshaw Layfield.

00:39:36But tonight, the champion forced into action by the general manager against Kurt Angle's assistant, a very impressive last week,

00:39:45Luther Raines.

00:39:46Luther Raines got in the ring with Frunaki and made short work with Frunaki and open respect with Frunaki.

00:39:51But right now, the WWE Champion is bracing the SmackDown ring and the SmackDown fans love him.

00:39:58Ivar Raza.

00:40:00Eddie Guerrero heads into action.

00:40:03He meets Luther Rain, Kurt Angle's assistant.

00:40:05Next.

00:40:09Back on SmackDown, WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero set for action in a match in my mind that was unfairly set

00:40:16up by our general manager.

00:40:20Why do you think it was unfairly set up?

00:40:22I will explain in a moment.

00:40:23Okay.

00:40:23As we see the arrival of Luther Raines.

00:40:30The following contents is scheduled for one follow.

00:40:34Introducing a company to the ring by the general manager of SmackDown, Kurt Angle, from Phoenix, Arizona.

00:40:40Weighing 295 pounds, Luther Raines.

00:40:45But Kurt's still smiling, O'Cole.

00:40:47I love to get pressure.

00:40:48Had something to do to set this match up.

00:40:49Will Kurt Angle be smiling in Fayetteville, North Carolina when SmackDown comes to Fayetteville next week?

00:40:53We're gonna have to see what happens at the Great American Bash on Sunday.

00:40:58But I'll tell you why this match is unfair.

00:41:00Okay, tell me why.

00:41:00First off, it was Bradshaw's idea.

00:41:02Right.

00:41:02Who faces, Bradshaw faces Eddie Guerrero on Sunday.

00:41:05Secondly, Kurt Angle's got a chip on his shoulder, can't stand Eddie Guerrero.

00:41:09And thirdly, Luther Raines has one thing in mind in this match.

00:41:13To hurt Eddie Guerrero before Sunday.

00:41:15First of all, Bradshaw's right.

00:41:16Eddie Guerrero probably goes down in history as one of the most disrespectful WWE Champions of all time.

00:41:21How can you say that?

00:41:22I just said it.

00:41:23And why would that be?

00:41:25I felt like saying it.

00:41:26That's why.

00:41:27Eddie Guerrero.

00:41:28Well, he cheated to win the championship.

00:41:30I mean, Eddie Guerrero, he brags about lying and cheating and stealing and all the other.

00:41:36It's nothing that Kurt Angle or John Bradshaw Layfield have not done in their careers.

00:41:41There's nothing that you didn't do in your career when you were the champion.

00:41:44Well, Karl Noble tie up right now by...

00:41:46And Eddie tells you that he doesn't.

00:41:48He's proud of it.

00:41:49Bottom line.

00:41:50You never told people you did it.

00:41:52And look at Luther Raines.

00:41:53Are we calling the action now?

00:41:54There's a match going on here.

00:41:55That's right.

00:41:55I'll tell you, this Luther Raines was impressive last week.

00:41:57And if Eddie Guerrero was not careful, Luther Raines could put a hurtin' on Eddie three days away from his

00:42:02title defense.

00:42:02This Luther Raines is a dangerous looking human being.

00:42:07Ex-Funaki about him.

00:42:08I'll tell you that.

00:42:08Eddie Guerrero backing Luther Raines into the corner.

00:42:11And the thing I think about Luther Raines is the people don't know anything about him.

00:42:15Eddie can't scout the guy.

00:42:16He's only seen him have one match.

00:42:17Well, I'll tell you what.

00:42:19Look at this.

00:42:20The strength of Luther Raines.

00:42:22Wow.

00:42:23Kurt Angle loves it.

00:42:24Can't blame Kurt.

00:42:25Look at him.

00:42:26Eddie Guerrero tossed to the mat below.

00:42:28With ease.

00:42:29With ease.

00:42:30The general manager is impressed.

00:42:31And Luther Raines and Eddie Guerrero is concerned.

00:42:34Well, he should be concerned.

00:42:37Eddie's gotta face John Bradshaw Layfield this Sunday.

00:42:41First, he's gotta get through this big, thick monster here.

00:42:43And remember what Luther Raines said last week.

00:42:45Anyone who messes with Kurt Angle has to mess with me.

00:42:49That's what happened to Fanaki.

00:42:49Don't disrespect Kurt Angle when Luther Raines are now.

00:42:53Kurt Angle's still mad that Eddie Guerrero beat him at WrestleMania.

00:42:55Well, don't blame him.

00:42:56I would still be mad, too.

00:42:57Eddie Guerrero is just wise for the champion to try and test the strength against a man.

00:43:01Much bigger than him.

00:43:02Well, if you were paying attention, see that Luther Raines is the one that started the test.

00:43:06Look at Eddie Guerrero.

00:43:07And look at Eddie.

00:43:07Having a little bit of fun.

00:43:08And the champion's had it up.

00:43:10And he's gonna take it out on Luther Raines.

00:43:12I'll tell you.

00:43:13Eddie Guerrero has beat men just as big or perhaps bigger than Luther Raines.

00:43:16Remember, he beat Brock Lesnar.

00:43:18I know he did.

00:43:18But, you know, that was then.

00:43:21This is now.

00:43:21And Luther Raines looks very credible right now.

00:43:25Because right there, Eddie Guerrero was on a full sprint.

00:43:28Ran into a brick wall named Raines.

00:43:30Oh, but what about that brick wall?

00:43:32The brick wall just went cumbling down like the Berlin Wall did.

00:43:35Eddie Guerrero knocked him with the Raines down.

00:43:37Maybe the cement was still wet.

00:43:38Well, you're on fire in this match, buddy.

00:43:40And look at Kurt Angle.

00:43:41And look at the general manager.

00:43:43I thought he couldn't walk in the cast.

00:43:44He hopped out of the wheelchair and took Eddie Guerrero down.

00:43:47He wasn't walking.

00:43:47What are you nuts?

00:43:48What was he walking?

00:43:49And he leaned forward.

00:43:49He grabbed his leg.

00:43:50But he was helping out his guy.

00:43:51He put enough weight on the leg to pull Eddie Guerrero, a 230-pound man down.

00:43:56And this crowd is all over the general manager.

00:43:59You gotta relax.

00:43:59You need sinking.

00:44:00You gotta calm down.

00:44:01I'm telling you, bro.

00:44:02Champion.

00:44:04Oh, wow.

00:44:04Nice butterfly suplex.

00:44:06Double chicken wing.

00:44:07What do you want to call it?

00:44:08He's one of those suplexes from.

00:44:10And look at Luther Raines with a bear hug on Eddie Guerrero.

00:44:13And look at the eyes, the intensity in this man.

00:44:17I gotta tell you what.

00:44:17JBL.

00:44:18John Bradshaw, Ray Ferrell is correct.

00:44:20That man, Kurt Angle, is a poster child for anybody in a wheelchair.

00:44:24He really is.

00:44:24And the reason I asked about who he's looking at his suplexes from, do you think Luther

00:44:27Raines is getting some pointers, some tips in the wrestling room from Kurt Angle?

00:44:31I'm sure he is.

00:44:32If someone's gonna teach him how to use some trolls, some suplexes, it's an Olympic gold

00:44:35medalist named Kurt Angle.

00:44:36Come on, Luther.

00:44:37Stay on.

00:44:41Yes!

00:44:43Kurt Angle reminds me of a great wrestling coach on the mat rooting on one of his kids.

00:44:47I mean, it's just great.

00:44:48Kurt Angle's just, I don't know, he's just, he's my role model.

00:44:51Kurt Angle's my new role model.

00:44:52Yes.

00:44:52Look at Eddie Guerrero rolling through.

00:44:54May have his shoulders down and a kick out.

00:44:56Your role model.

00:44:57He's my role model.

00:44:57Oh!

00:44:58What a clothesline by Luther Raines, and every time Eddie's back on top, Luther Raines cover

00:45:03hook of the leg.

00:45:03And it would not be good for Eddie Guerrero's confidence if he lost this match three days

00:45:08away from his matchup with Bradshaw Sunday.

00:45:10No kidding.

00:45:11I mean, Kurt Angle takes a Luther Raines, a virtual guy, a guy that nobody knows virtually.

00:45:15I mean, just look at how impressive Luther Raines is against the WWE Champion right now.

00:45:20Ladies and gentlemen, that is no slouch in the ring with Luther Raines.

00:45:24That is Eddie Guerrero, and Luther Raines is taking it to him.

00:45:27Squeeze!

00:45:29Squeeze!

00:45:31Kurt clasps his own hand, telling Luther, keep that bear hug, that reverse bear hug.

00:45:35Shouldn't there be a rule somewhere that the general manager can't be involved in coaching

00:45:39talent?

00:45:40Why?

00:45:40No, there should not be a rule.

00:45:42It's a conflict of interest.

00:45:43Kurt Angle makes the rule.

00:45:45Well, he's challenging the SmackDown, not making the rule.

00:45:47Oh, look at Eddie Guerrero.

00:45:48There's the veteran doing anything he can to battle his way out of the predicament.

00:45:52Well, Kurt, Eddie Guerrero knows what he's doing in there, and he's been virtually in

00:45:56any situation that anybody can put him in.

00:45:58And now, you gotta watch now, Luther.

00:46:00Don't let Guerrero fire up on you here with that Latino temper.

00:46:04You see Eddie Guerrero, the much quicker of the two men.

00:46:06And Eddie Guerrero using that quickness to his advantage.

00:46:08Eddie Guerrero, the big shoulder to the jaw.

00:46:11And also, I mean, Eddie Guerrero's got a lot of years of experience on Luther Raines right now.

00:46:16Luther Raines.

00:46:17Luther's in trouble.

00:46:17In all kinds of trouble.

00:46:19Luther's in trouble!

00:46:19Eddie Guerrero, there's one of the suplexes.

00:46:22Could be going for three.

00:46:24The Three Amigos.

00:46:25That was Uno.

00:46:25Here comes Dos.

00:46:27I'll tell you, the champion looks great here tonight.

00:46:30Yes, he does.

00:46:31Against Luther Raines.

00:46:32Mr. Angle's assistant, but there's a need of a midsection.

00:46:35Shutting down the third suplex.

00:46:38Not often do you see anybody do that to Eddie Guerrero.

00:46:41Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

00:46:42Eddie Guerrero.

00:46:43And look at Luther Raines and the referee.

00:46:45Jimmy Cordero's knocked down in a clothesline.

00:46:48That's that size and power of Luther Raines and that short burst of steel.

00:46:52The difference making that short clothesline now on Eddie Guerrero.

00:46:55And Luther Raines taking control.

00:46:56Referee is down in the matchup.

00:46:58Luther Raines with Eddie Guerrero on his shoulder.

00:47:00The champion is in all kinds of trouble.

00:47:02We saw Luther Raines win that matchup with Jackie last week.

00:47:06Oh, my God.

00:47:06It's a miracle.

00:47:07A miracle.

00:47:08He's walking.

00:47:09Look at Kurt Angle.

00:47:10What the hell is that?

00:47:12Oh, he kicked out.

00:47:13Eddie Guerrero kicked out.

00:47:15Kurt Angle tried to be the referee and Eddie Guerrero kicked out.

00:47:18Hold on now.

00:47:18Kurt Angle's got the right to be the referee.

00:47:20He is the general manager.

00:47:21The referee is down.

00:47:23Now Luther.

00:47:24Uh-oh, Luther Raines just grabbed the title.

00:47:26Uh-oh.

00:47:26The WWE Championship.

00:47:27And Angle's blocking orders.

00:47:28I think Kurt's telling him to put it down.

00:47:31Missed with the championship.

00:47:32In a low blow by Eddie Guerrero.

00:47:34Very low blow.

00:47:34Referee is down and he's got the championship.

00:47:37Don't do it, Eddie.

00:47:39That's the general manager's handicap.

00:47:44Come on, champ.

00:47:45Wait a minute here.

00:47:47Luther, championship off the skull of Luther Raines.

00:47:50And the general manager in the crosshairs of Latino Heat.

00:47:56Kurt's threatening to not do it.

00:47:57Uh-oh, what the?

00:47:58Look at that.

00:47:59Referee back on his feet.

00:48:00Oh, man.

00:48:01Eddie was caught red-handed.

00:48:03The smoking gun was caught.

00:48:05Kurt Angle's hand.

00:48:06Guerrero did it again.

00:48:08The referee giving it to our general manager.

00:48:13I don't believe this.

00:48:15Eddie Guerrero.

00:48:17Now what?

00:48:18Uh-oh.

00:48:18Where's Eddie going?

00:48:20Uh-oh.

00:48:20Oh, look at that grin.

00:48:21You know.

00:48:22Eddie, Eddie.

00:48:23Eddie.

00:48:24Oh, man.

00:48:24The old Eddie Guerrero is back lying and chinted and stealing.

00:48:29And he's still feeling froggy.

00:48:31Cross flash connects.

00:48:33Here's the cover.

00:48:34Whoa.

00:48:35Wait a minute.

00:48:36It's Bradshaw.

00:48:38Bradshaw.

00:48:38Eddie on the match one.

00:48:40And Bradshaw with that damn bull rope.

00:48:42Ingenious.

00:48:43Beautiful by John Bradshaw Layfield.

00:48:46JBL always thinking.

00:48:47And that rope wrapped around the neck of the champion.

00:48:49JBL with a peel.

00:48:51That rope wrapped around the neck of Eddie Guerrero.

00:48:54Well, now Eddie Guerrero's getting an idea what's gonna happen this Sunday.

00:48:57With that Texas bull rope match.

00:48:59And there's that cow bone in there.

00:49:00And that's the dangerous part.

00:49:01Well, JBL knows how to use that bull rope.

00:49:04And look at JBL.

00:49:05JBL wrapping it around the neck of Eddie Guerrero.

00:49:07Yeah, like a noose.

00:49:08Like a narrow.

00:49:09And Latino heat.

00:49:11Oh, this is not good.

00:49:13This is definitely not good.

00:49:15The champion is in a world of trouble.

00:49:17The sick smile on the face of Bradshaw.

00:49:20JBL's got Guerrero where he wants him.

00:49:25Eddie Guerrero fighting desperately to catch his breath.

00:49:29Eddie Guerrero's in trouble here.

00:49:30Wait a minute.

00:49:30Eddie Guerrero caught Bradshaw.

00:49:33How'd he do this?

00:49:34Latino heat has the bull rope in hand.

00:49:37But he's hurt.

00:49:38Latino heat's hurt, Cole.

00:49:41Bradshaw back to his feet.

00:49:42Latino heat to his feet as well.

00:49:44And it's a cowboy off the side of the head.

00:49:47Oh, he also used to work like a clothesline across the floor of JBL.

00:49:51Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

00:49:52And the bull rope again.

00:49:54And shot Bradshaw Layfield.

00:49:56A feel of the wrath of Eddie Guerrero and JBL.

00:49:59Oh, my God, that hurts.

00:50:01Right on his hand.

00:50:02I'll tell you what, I don't think.

00:50:04Looks like Eddie Guerrero's gonna use that dead bull rope.

00:50:07Eddie!

00:50:09Eddie!

00:50:10It is Eddie Chance.

00:50:11I thought the bull rope match was a Bradshaw's match.

00:50:14So did I.

00:50:15Eddie Guerrero soon.

00:50:16He could use the bull rope tonight.

00:50:18But will Eddie Guerrero successfully defend his title this Sunday in Norfolk Virginia?

00:50:22And also get the opportunity to beat the daylights out of JBL at the Grand American match.

00:50:28That remains to be seen.

00:50:31John Bradshaw Layfield.

00:50:33Eddie Guerrero with the WWE title on the line in a Texas bull rope match.

00:50:39There are no pinfalls.

00:50:41There are no disqualifications.

00:50:43Bradshaw will be on one end of the rope.

00:50:45Eddie Guerrero will be on the other end.

00:50:47You beat your opponent senseless.

00:50:50So you can drag him and touch all four corners.

00:50:53With Eddie Guerrero.

00:50:56Retained the WWE title on Sunday.

00:51:00But still to come tonight.

00:51:01Oh, you're not lying.

00:51:02And look at this.

00:51:03The Doctor of Duganomics.

00:51:05The Deadman The Undertaker.

00:51:07Talk about star power.

00:51:09Both men collide tonight on SmackDown.

00:51:12What a main event.

00:51:13We are in Orlando.

00:51:15That cement mixer will be at the Great American Bash as well.

00:51:18Will Paul Bearer be buried in cement on Sunday?

00:51:25Undertaker.

00:51:26It seems we have a dire situation.

00:51:31At the Great American Bash, you will face the Dudleys in a handicap match.

00:51:37And in this match, you will have two choices.

00:51:42What?

00:51:42You can do the right thing.

00:51:45Destroy.

00:51:46Or you can personally watch as Paul Bearer gasps for that last breath of life.

00:51:53The feeling defeated both sides.

00:51:57Entombed in a cold.

00:51:59Rock hard grave.

00:52:01Ripped.

00:52:01Decisions.

00:52:02Decisions.

00:52:04Undertaker.

00:52:05The choice is yours.

00:52:10Moments ago here on SmackDown, the champion Eddie Guerrero.

00:52:14Moments away from the victory over Luther Reigns.

00:52:16When John Bradshaw laid field with a tackle behind with the Texas Bull Rope in hand.

00:52:22Nothing wrong with this.

00:52:23JBL getting a jump start on the Great American Bash for Sunday.

00:52:27But it wasn't only JBL who showed he could use a Bull Rope task.

00:52:31As Eddie Guerrero was in desperate trouble.

00:52:33He would counter.

00:52:34And Eddie would show us all that he could use that Texas Bull Rope.

00:52:37Oh, I agree with you there.

00:52:38I mean, Ross Guerrero here goes on with that Rope.

00:52:41And then, that was nothing.

00:52:43Check this side.

00:52:44He's gonna use that Bull Rope like a whip.

00:52:47Oh!

00:52:52Will Mr. Thursday night become Mr. No!

00:52:55Sunday night.

00:52:57Sunday at the Great American Bash.

00:52:58It is a big night for RVD Sunday.

00:53:01Part of the fatal four-way elimination matchup for the United States Championship.

00:53:06The following contest is scheduled for a waterfall.

00:53:09Introducing first, from Battle Creek, Michigan, weighing 230 pounds, Rob Dan Dan!

00:53:18Had the opportunity to talk to RVD earlier today.

00:53:20He was telling me how excited he is to have the opportunity to win the United States Championship

00:53:26at the Great American Bash Sunday.

00:53:28Well, tonight's SmackDown is sponsored by the new Engage QB Mobile Game Deck.

00:53:33Engage anyone, anywhere.

00:53:36And by Coinstar, you give us coins, we give you cash.

00:53:40And by Spider-Man 2, the story continues June 30.

00:53:48There's some matchup here, Cole.

00:53:51And from Paris, France, bringing out 265 pounds, Rene Dupree!

00:53:58P-P?

00:53:58P-P!

00:53:59Rob Van Dam, Rene Dupree, Booker T, of course, John Cena, the fatal four-way elimination

00:54:03matchup for United States title Sunday.

00:54:06If Dupree wins the United States Championship, can you do something special for P-P?

00:54:10I mean, I don't know, maybe make a smaller version of the United States Championship and put it around a

00:54:16neck like a leash, like a collar or something, like your wife has on you with a collar, right?

00:54:20Great thought, Taz.

00:54:22Rene Dupree, Rob Van Dam, one-on-one.

00:54:24But then again, Rene might just take that championship, the United States Championship, and bring it back to France, which

00:54:29I don't think would be good.

00:54:30I don't think we'd be able to live with Rene Dupree if he became the United States Champion.

00:54:35Imagine how he's already eager to pick.

00:54:37Oh, and cocky, imagine what he'd be like.

00:54:38Trains of things in that have happened, and yes, I think the three would be even more cockier, if that's

00:54:43possible, if he became the United States Champion this Sunday in Norfolk.

00:54:46Well, the one thing we do know is that...

00:54:47Can you dig it, sucker?

00:54:49What is this?

00:54:50Booker T?

00:54:52He's not scheduled to compete.

00:54:55Well, he's not dressed to compete.

00:54:56Well, the Bookman looked at shot.

00:54:58Rob Van Dam looking at his former friend.

00:55:01Well, Booker T is himself in the matchup Sunday.

00:55:04Well, he's one of the men's in the Final Four-Way.

00:55:05Van Dam is as well.

00:55:07Booker T is.

00:55:07Yes, John Cena's defending the panel in that Fatal Four-Way.

00:55:11Rene Dupree is involved as well.

00:55:12Yes, yes.

00:55:14Well, Bookman, I guess Book's out here just scouting the talent, scouting these guys.

00:55:18Well, matchup underway.

00:55:20Rene Dupree.

00:55:21Yeah, Booker's coming over here.

00:55:21Rob Van Dam, and actually, Booker T is making his way here to ringside.

00:55:25You all right, Booker?

00:55:26Thanks for joining us, Booker.

00:55:28What brings you out here tonight?

00:55:29Hey, man, I'm just out here to check out RVD.

00:55:32Going against Rene Dupree.

00:55:34See what's going on.

00:55:34Getting ready for Sunday night, man.

00:55:37You know, we're all getting ready for the Great American Bash on Sunday night.

00:55:41Booker, I know when you guys were tag team champions, you and Booker, you and Van Dam,

00:55:45I know it was close to you.

00:55:46You carried the team.

00:55:47Hey, I carried that team.

00:55:48You know, one thing about RVD, his timing was a little low.

00:55:50Right.

00:55:50He was a little behind on the step, but I tell you what, RVD is a great competitor.

00:55:55Yeah, he is.

00:55:56He is.

00:55:56Yeah, and he's also a good guy to turn your back and walk out on in a tag team match.

00:55:59Anyway, Rob Van Dam working on Rene Dupree.

00:56:02What do you think?

00:56:03Tell me you did not just say that.

00:56:04No, I was going to ask Booker, I was just going to ask you what you thought about Rene Dupree.

00:56:08Rene Dupree, up-and-comer, young kid.

00:56:11You know, I feel a little strange.

00:56:13You know, this guy comes out with a dog every week.

00:56:15You know what?

00:56:16Oh, what a kick!

00:56:18That's something about RVD you've got to watch all the time.

00:56:20But going back to Rene Dupree, him and this little dog, I tell you what, if that little

00:56:25get close to me, I'm going to drop that little dog like a bad habit.

00:56:30I'm going to put him in his place, if you know what I'm saying.

00:56:32I actually think Fifi's a girl.

00:56:34I don't care what it is.

00:56:36Rene Dupree bouncing off the apron.

00:56:38I thought it was funny.

00:56:39Let's take another look at this kick.

00:56:41Let's listen to this kick.

00:56:42This could be your head on Sunday, Booker.

00:56:45He says, listen, that means you don't want to talk.

00:56:47Then he's saying it should be your head.

00:56:48You know something?

00:56:49I felt that kick before.

00:56:50I've been through all of that.

00:56:51One thing about Booker T, pain is my friend.

00:56:55I'm looking forward to Sunday night.

00:56:56I'm looking forward to taking Cena and dropping him off into something he's never seen before.

00:57:01Well, check this out.

00:57:02Van Damme broke the count.

00:57:03Oh, Van Damme broke the apron, driving that leg to Dupree.

00:57:07First, Van Damme broke the count.

00:57:08Then, Van Damme just might have broke Dupree's neck.

00:57:11Booker T, what if that happens to you on Sunday?

00:57:13You know, hey, that's not going to happen to me.

00:57:16You're looking at the master of the spinning wheel.

00:57:19You're looking at the top guy here on SmackDown.

00:57:21You're looking at the future United States champion.

00:57:23It's a cover by Van Damme and a kick out by Dupree.

00:57:26So do you still think SmackDown's the minor leagues?

00:57:29Cole, we've reached that.

00:57:30You know something, Cole?

00:57:31You know something, Cole?

00:57:32You asked him a lot of stupid questions.

00:57:34Just keep your mind on the match.

00:57:37Keep your mind on what's going on right here.

00:57:39Can I ask you one more question?

00:57:40What is that?

00:57:40I just don't want to know what you think about as, wait a minute, off the neck right there.

00:57:44Here's the cover by Dupree, shoulders down, kick out.

00:57:46It's going to be a stupid question.

00:57:47By Rob Van Damme.

00:57:47I just want to know what Booker thinks about The Undertaker versus John Cena.

00:57:51Big, huge matchup later on tonight.

00:57:54You know, after last week, Undertaker seems like a change of heart.

00:57:59I'm looking forward.

00:58:00Here's the cover again.

00:58:01Hook of the leg, shoulders down, and Van Damme kicks out again.

00:58:04Hey, did you interrupt me again, Cole?

00:58:05That's the last time you're going to do that, man.

00:58:07Like I said, The Undertaker is going to take Cena and take him out.

00:58:12Come Sunday night, we may not even see Cena.

00:58:14If Cena does come out, he's going to be too banged up to come in the ring and do his

00:58:18job.

00:58:18You're looking at the new champion right here.

00:58:21Booker, what's your problem with John Cena?

00:58:23Wait a minute.

00:58:24Roll up may have him.

00:58:25Dupree kicks out.

00:58:26Booker T, what is your problem with John Cena?

00:58:28Well, yeah, we saw what happened to that Lumberjack match.

00:58:30You know, John Cena's a wannabe.

00:58:32You know, he want to be like Booker T.

00:58:34He want to come out here with his catchphrases.

00:58:36He want to come out here doing his little raps.

00:58:37Let me tell you something.

00:58:38I got a little out of myself.

00:58:40I got a little hook myself.

00:58:41I got a little rhythm myself.

00:58:43Wait a minute.

00:58:44Here's rolling thunder.

00:58:45Don't interrupt again, Booker T.

00:58:47That was a little rhythm right here.

00:58:47Here's the cover.

00:58:48Hook of the leg again.

00:58:50Dupree in trouble.

00:58:51Rolls the shoulder out.

00:58:52Van Damme's looking good right here on Dupree.

00:58:55Waiting for the rap.

00:58:57You know, like I say, the rap is going to be Sunday night.

00:59:00I tell you what, I got a little joke for you.

00:59:02Okay, what is it?

00:59:03Knock, knock.

00:59:04Who's that?

00:59:05Rob Van Damme.

00:59:06Rob Van Damme who?

00:59:08Rob Van Damme, who don't have a chance at beat Booker T on Sunday night.

00:59:14That's good, man.

00:59:15That's good stuff, Bookman.

00:59:16Give me some, dog.

00:59:17As you guys are doing your comments.

00:59:20As you guys are doing your comments.

00:59:21Booker T one night only.

00:59:23Try to be over here all week.

00:59:25Rene Dupree just pulled.

00:59:26Wait a minute.

00:59:27Rob Van Damme, Dupree in trouble.

00:59:28Rene Dupree put the turn back.

00:59:30Come on, Rene Dupree.

00:59:31Come on, Rene Dupree.

00:59:31Come on.

00:59:31Oh, look at this kick out.

00:59:33What I was trying to explain is, Dupree.

00:59:35I hope these two guys beat the hell out of each other.

00:59:38Look at this.

00:59:39Cover again.

00:59:40Shoulders down.

00:59:41Look at Dupree.

00:59:42Dupree have it tight.

00:59:43I'll tell you, Booker, you're sitting in the catbird seat.

00:59:45You got these two guys beating the tar out of each other.

00:59:47Yeah, man.

00:59:48Later on, you got Undertaker going against Cena, which is really good for you.

00:59:51Come Sunday against the United States Championship.

00:59:53You're looking good on Thursday.

00:59:54You know, I'm looking forward to Sunday night.

00:59:56I'm going to come in fresh.

00:59:57I'm going to be ready.

00:59:58I'm in the best shape of my life, Taz.

01:00:00And Michael Cole, I don't like you at all.

01:00:04Rob Van Damme into the exposed turnbuckle.

01:00:06The pad was not there.

01:00:08Rene Dupree picked up the win after he pulled the back.

01:00:10Like I told you, the guys, the guys were high.

01:00:13Here's the rock in there.

01:00:14Same thing.

01:00:17I don't think so, Daz.

01:00:22Rene Dupree picks up the victory.

01:00:26You know, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what.

01:00:31Dupree taking attention here, Booker.

01:00:33There's the French tickler, Booker.

01:00:35He's doing the French tickler, right?

01:00:36That's nothing compared to the Spinner Rorty.

01:00:38I'll tell you what, we'll do what we can.

01:00:39Don't keep the storm away from your son.

01:00:40Tell me he didn't just do that.

01:00:45Tell me.

01:00:46He did.

01:00:47And we're going to take another look at what happened at the end of this matchup.

01:00:51Rene Dupree has taken the cover off the turnbuckle, exposing the steel.

01:00:54And Rob Van Damme skull first into the steel turnbuckle.

01:00:58Yeah.

01:00:58Rene Dupree stealing that victory there.

01:01:01Big win right there for Dupree going into the bash this Sunday.

01:01:04Will it be Booker T?

01:01:05Will it be Rob Van Damme?

01:01:07Will it be Rene Dupree?

01:01:08Or will it be John Cena to win the United States Championship Sunday?

01:01:14We are back on SmackDown.

01:01:15How great has this crowd been in Orlando?

01:01:17Red hot.

01:01:18Red hot.

01:01:18Do you think they've got a feeling of what's to come on Sunday when SmackDown presents the

01:01:22Great American Bash from the scope in Norfolk, Virginia?

01:01:25Well, this feels spooky town tonight, baby.

01:01:27It's SmackDown town.

01:01:28Smackin' the TV.

01:01:29And what about for the Great American Bash?

01:01:31Attention all active U.S. military personnel.

01:01:34You can receive the Great American Bash for free Sunday.

01:01:37Go to WWE.com for all the details.

01:01:40And I can tell you this.

01:01:42The WWE title's on the line.

01:01:44Eddie Guerrero, JBL, Texas Bull Rope Match.

01:01:47Well, I'll tell you what, Cole, last week I thought Brasher had an advantage in this match.

01:01:51Well, Eddie Guerrero showed earlier that he's still stranger for using a bull rope.

01:01:56That's for sure.

01:01:56Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match-Up for the United States Championship.

01:01:59John Cena, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, and Renee Dupree.

01:02:03Well, my view, Audra against Cena to lead the Great American Bash with the United States

01:02:07title intact.

01:02:08This is not just a Fatal 4-Way match, Cole.

01:02:10It's an elimination of Fatal 4-Way.

01:02:12It's going to be tough for Cena to hang on to that.

01:02:14General Manager Kurt Angle has just made this match-up after what happened backstage earlier

01:02:18tonight.

01:02:19Corey Wilson versus Sable.

01:02:21I'll tell you what, two Playboy couple girls locking bunny ears at the bash.

01:02:26I'll tell you what, smacking your TV, baby, at the bash.

01:02:29Chavo Guerrero, the winner of the Battle Royal earlier tonight, will meet Rey Mysterio for

01:02:34the Cruiserweight Championship.

01:02:36Well, Chavo Guerrero was successful in winning the Battle Royal against nine other men.

01:02:39Can Chavo Guerrero beat one man in Rey Mysterio?

01:02:42We're going to find out this Sunday.

01:02:44And in the first time ever, a first time ever in this match of its kind, a concrete trip

01:02:49match, Undertaker versus the Dudley Boy.

01:02:52Well, the Sword of Damocles is hanging over the Undertaker's head in this match.

01:02:56The Deadman has to do the right thing, or Paul Bearer will be entombed in cement, whatever

01:03:02the right thing is.

01:03:03Hey, let me get this straight.

01:03:04Paul Bearer will be in this glass crypt.

01:03:06He's going to be wheeled out to the ring.

01:03:08They're going to move that cement mixer in and put the spout over the top of this glass

01:03:11crypt.

01:03:12Yeah, they are.

01:03:12And I'll tell you what, it's going to be, it's not just glass, it's Lexan.

01:03:16It's bulletproof.

01:03:17I mean, it's, you're going to see Paul Bearer, this thing, suffocating with concrete.

01:03:22And if the Undertaker doesn't do the right thing, then the cement from a mixer like that's

01:03:26going to be poured into the glass.

01:03:27The right thing, I think, is a non-issue.

01:03:28I think Paul Heyman, he's sick enough, he's twisted enough, he gets his jollies, he's

01:03:33going to love watching Paul Bearer, watching the cement get to the ankles of Paul Bearer,

01:03:38getting to the knees of Paul Bearer, to the waist of Paul Bearer.

01:03:41As Paul Bearer's crawling and trying to get out of that thing.

01:03:43Getting to Paul Bearer's chin, and then essentially suffocating Paul Bearer.

01:03:47I think we're going to see the end of Paul Bearer, and Heyman's going to love hitting that

01:03:51button, sealing the deal.

01:03:52And this all started when the Dudley Boys did the unthinkable.

01:03:55They abducted the Undertaker's conscience.

01:04:15Will the Undertaker demonstrate his loyalty to Paul Heyman?

01:04:19Taker versus Cena next.

01:04:29Here we go, man.

01:04:31The United States Champion in a battle for survival tonight.

01:04:40The foul-win contest is scheduled for a one-fall.

01:04:44Making his way to the ring from West Newbury, Massachusetts.

01:04:47Weighing 248 pounds, John Cena.

01:04:51This Sunday at the Great American Bash, John Cena's title is up for grabs.

01:04:57But tonight, John Cena's career may be up for grabs.

01:05:02John Cena versus The Undertaker in a mega-main event right now.

01:05:07It's huge, but huge!

01:05:10Well, Subway presents the Great American Bash.

01:05:13The Great American Bash is a SmackDown production that comes to you live this Sunday from the

01:05:18Scoop Arena in North Fork, Virginia, exclusively on pay-per-view.

01:05:22It's what you eat when you want to eat fresh.

01:05:25Subway, eat fresh.

01:05:26You've got to respect John Cena.

01:05:27He came out here tonight.

01:05:28He called out The Undertaker, wanted an explanation for the Tombstone last week.

01:05:33But instead, General Manager Kurt Angle made this matchup.

01:05:57It is somewhat poetic that we see the cement mixer in the background as we await the appearance

01:06:05of The Undertaker.

01:06:08And making his win in the ring from Death Valley, weighing 305 pounds, The Undertaker!

01:06:20Look at the eyes of John Cena.

01:06:22John Cena, he's got some concern in those eyes, and I don't blame that kid.

01:06:27He might be in over his head.

01:06:28I don't know.

01:06:29He's going out on the lid.

01:06:30That's just my view on this.

01:06:31The Undertaker's hands are tied as he looks at that cement mixer, a cement mixer that will

01:06:38be used Sunday at the Great American Bash to perhaps bury The Undertaker's conscience,

01:06:44his longtime confidant, Paul Bearer, in a mound, a crypt, a grave of concrete.

01:06:56I mean, three inches thick, Heyman said.

01:07:03What does that mean to imagine this?

01:07:05Look at me sitting here witnessing.

01:07:06And so is The Undertaker.

01:07:07Well, The Undertaker has to do the right thing in order for that not to happen.

01:07:11But what is that?

01:07:12You don't know what the right thing is.

01:07:13And does that really matter, Paul, as we pointed out earlier?

01:07:18Yeah, because even if Undertaker does the right thing, Paul Heyman may do the wrong thing.

01:07:22And I'll tell you what, I'm going out on a limb here again.

01:07:24Again, this is my view.

01:07:25I know Heyman very well.

01:07:27I think Paul Heyman is going to do a wrong thing.

01:07:29Because he, that's what he's about.

01:07:31He's an evil man.

01:07:35The Undertaker's got to be so confused.

01:07:38He's got to feel compromised.

01:07:39His hands are tied.

01:07:41He's got to shoot his face.

01:07:42Undertaker's had no choice but to follow the Machiavellian mind of the psychotic Paul Heyman.

01:07:49Heyman claiming tonight that The Undertaker will again demonstrate his loyalty.

01:07:54I believe a forced loyalty, but loyalty nonetheless.

01:07:59What choice does The Undertaker have?

01:08:01I don't know what choice The Undertaker has.

01:08:03But I'll tell you, John Cena, I think, might wish he had a choice right now.

01:08:07He might be on the brunt of that demonstration of loyalty by The Undertaker and Heyman.

01:08:11And this match all made because the general manager, Kurt Angle, does not want to see John Cena, United States

01:08:16Champion.

01:08:17Wants to do all he can to weaken Cena.

01:08:20Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, Cole.

01:08:21Now, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't John Cena at the top of this show tonight on SmackDown come out

01:08:26here and more or less call out The Undertaker?

01:08:28He wanted an explanation.

01:08:29He wanted an explanation.

01:08:30He didn't want a match.

01:08:32I believe.

01:08:33Sometimes you've got to be careful when you open your mouth to put your foot in it, but sometimes someone

01:08:37else might put their foot in it.

01:08:38John Cena never backs down from anyone.

01:08:41And Undertaker locks up, and there's the knee to the midsection.

01:08:45And it is hard to understand what could be going through the mind of The Undertaker.

01:08:51Paul Heyman controlling The Undertaker because of the abduction of The Undertaker's conscience, Paul Bearer, by the Dudley Boys, and

01:08:59what a right hand.

01:09:00Well, I'll tell you what.

01:09:01You're gonna think I'm crazy right now what I'm about to say, but I think right now this is a

01:09:04good point.

01:09:05A good point in this match for John Cena.

01:09:07Of course, the jitters are gone now.

01:09:09You got cracked two or three times by The Undertaker.

01:09:11Now, go on with your match.

01:09:13Now, get your head in the game and try and fight.

01:09:16See, that's what you gotta do.

01:09:17Look at this, John Cena can't put a big elbow to the face.

01:09:20John Cena, The Undertaker, would love to knock out The Undertaker, quickly.

01:09:25John Cena, double right hand.

01:09:27Cena, perhaps, the United States Champion.

01:09:30I don't know about three or two when it comes to throwing hands.

01:09:33Deadman's got those suit bones for John Cena.

01:09:36He's amped up.

01:09:36He's in survival mode is what John Cena's in.

01:09:39And look at The Undertaker.

01:09:40Oh, you hurt Cena.

01:09:42I ain't scared.

01:09:43That kid looks pretty confident.

01:09:45John Cena with the right hand again.

01:09:46And The Undertaker backing up on those big right hands.

01:09:50Undertaker, and what a shot to the throat.

01:09:53The experience of The Undertaker.

01:09:55Waiting for John Cena to leave himself open.

01:09:57John Cena with a couple of haymakers.

01:09:59And Undertaker waited for a spot.

01:10:02Picked it.

01:10:02And back drop.

01:10:04John Cena tossed to the mat.

01:10:07Undertaker bounces off the corner.

01:10:09Went to drop the leg.

01:10:11John Cena rolled out of the way.

01:10:12Now she's going through an elbow drop.

01:10:13A big high one.

01:10:14Nice.

01:10:15I mean, John Cena better get The Undertaker while he can.

01:10:19Because the window of opportunity is not open for so long.

01:10:22The pounding round attack of John Cena.

01:10:25And look at Undertaker.

01:10:26Pulling John Cena through the second rope.

01:10:28And what we've experienced the past couple of weeks is a very different Undertaker.

01:10:33Looking of experience, John Cena, the false victim of the experienced Undertaker there.

01:10:40Oversealously, he wasn't got the nettles, he was pulled out of the ring.

01:10:42But the point I was trying to make is The Undertaker's been completely different over the past couple of weeks.

01:10:48Yeah, I don't know what he has.

01:10:48He's been in control.

01:10:49I'm actually enjoying the difference, bro.

01:10:51You would.

01:10:53Are you gonna enjoy what you see on Sunday if Paul Bearer is buried in that crypt, that concrete tomb?

01:11:00I don't know if I'd enjoy that.

01:11:01I gotta be honest with you.

01:11:03I wanna whack you out.

01:11:04Now look at John Cena.

01:11:05What a suplex by The Undertaker.

01:11:07That might be it.

01:11:08That might be it.

01:11:09And John Cena, the United States Champion with heart.

01:11:11It's The Undertaker that's got so much height and so tall, damn near seven feet.

01:11:16When he does that delayed vertical suplex, that's a heck of a drop for a body to take a wrench.

01:11:22Undertaker wrenching that arm.

01:11:24Might be coming up next.

01:11:28Uh-oh.

01:11:30Undertaker's going for old school here.

01:11:32Undertaker up to the top rope.

01:11:34John Cena's in trouble.

01:11:36Undertaker, Vintage Undertaker.

01:11:39Wow.

01:11:41A clubbing blow, that could be it for the champion.

01:11:43Good night, Irene.

01:11:44That is it.

01:11:44Shoulders down, and John Cena kicks out again.

01:11:47And what about the heart of the United States Champion?

01:11:50Big toughness by John Cena.

01:11:52I mean, John Cena's United States Champion for a reason, Cole, to kick and get it done.

01:11:56Hey, not for nothing.

01:11:57If it was me, I would've, you know, counted out one, two, three, escaped, and went to the

01:12:00Great American Batch with my title and my health intact.

01:12:03Hey, well, that's you.

01:12:03You're a coward.

01:12:04But I'll tell you what, this John Cena, he's not intimidated, Cole.

01:12:07Not intimidated.

01:12:08Look at the size of the hand of the Undertaker.

01:12:10He's palming the face of John Cena.

01:12:12I know, I can see that.

01:12:13Kind of like a basketball hit palm by Shaq.

01:12:15Oh, John Cena with the knees to the midsection.

01:12:18John Cena again with an elbow.

01:12:20He's fighting back, man.

01:12:21Kid's tough.

01:12:22Not backing down.

01:12:23You gotta respect that on Cena.

01:12:24Miss with the right hand, and there's Vintage Undertaker again, flying through the air.

01:12:29The champ's in trouble.

01:12:31Cover.

01:12:31Uh-oh, what?

01:12:32Down, and a kick out in this non-title matchup.

01:12:35Well, Cena won't stay down, Cole.

01:12:37The kid won't stay down, and Undertaker looks like he's on tonight.

01:12:41I'm telling you.

01:12:42Uh-oh.

01:12:44This could be it.

01:12:46You think?

01:12:47Undertaker signaling the end for John Cena.

01:12:50And when he says it, it happens.

01:12:51John Cena up high.

01:12:53John Cena struggling.

01:12:54John Cena from behind.

01:12:56Four right hands by the United States Champion.

01:12:58Look at this John Cena here.

01:13:00John Cena with the close, the ring, Undertaker.

01:13:02Oh, he got him mad now.

01:13:04And an Undertaker on the top rope.

01:13:06Wow.

01:13:07Undertaker knocked out of the ring.

01:13:09Surprised to Cena.

01:13:10That was nice.

01:13:11John Cena with an elbow on The Undertaker on the barricade.

01:13:14Oh, can John Cena do it?

01:13:16I think John Cena's got a chance against The Undertaker.

01:13:20We'll find out after this.

01:13:21Move.

01:13:23You know, this was just business.

01:13:27It's now become personal.

01:13:30You think Judgment Day was brutal?

01:13:33That is a walk in the park to what's gonna happen at the Great American Bash.

01:13:40Eddie Guerrero takes on John Branch on the heel in a Texas bull rope match for

01:13:45the WWE Championship.

01:13:47SmackDown presents The Great American Bash.

01:13:50Live this Sunday, only on Pay-Per-View.

01:13:54Back on SmackDown.

01:13:55Undertaker knocked in the top rope again.

01:13:57John Cena and the Undertaker have been battling throughout the entire commercial work.

01:14:01But again, Cena's in control.

01:14:02Yeah, it's been back and forth.

01:14:03But I think Cena might have got the better of the Undertaker door to break.

01:14:06And John Cena looking good here.

01:14:08Don't get counted out, kid.

01:14:09Coming forward to the back of the head.

01:14:11Cena's taking it to him, I'm telling you.

01:14:12I tell you, you gotta give it up for John Cena.

01:14:14Look at that, knocking the Undertaker in the crowd.

01:14:16Wow.

01:14:17I said it earlier, and I'll say it again.

01:14:20John Cena is in straight out survival mode.

01:14:23He's breaking the count though.

01:14:24Sheena got back in the ring, put the count, and didn't get counted out.

01:14:27Smart by Cena.

01:14:28Well, John Cena knows what a win over the Undertaker in these circumstances

01:14:31would mean to his career.

01:14:32You're right, but you keep saying it.

01:14:34That Cena's in survival mode, and I disagree with that.

01:14:36I think Cena just trying to win this match.

01:14:39Sheena's a confident MVP.

01:14:41Well, he is, but he's in trouble now.

01:14:43Undertaker.

01:14:44Wow.

01:14:46Knee right to the gut.

01:14:48Soul of plexus area.

01:14:50And John Cena refers to Undertaker.

01:14:52And he was in the best he had steps.

01:14:54And a moment ago, The Undertaker got chucked over the top rope.

01:14:58And I believe his wrist is that left arm would ram it into the steps as well.

01:15:02I don't know, he got slapped, ooh, that's-

01:15:05Undertaker cutting himself on that, I believe the edge.

01:15:07Well, he didn't cut himself.

01:15:09He got John Cena caught him by chucking it.

01:15:11Oh, caught in midair as The Undertaker.

01:15:13John Cena in his spine burst, spine burst into the steel post.

01:15:19A dead man, the power and size.

01:15:22And now, Undertaker getting in the ring here, busting that count upwards,

01:15:26avoiding getting counted out, bleeding pretty bad on that forearm.

01:15:29Again, John Cena driving The Undertaker into the steel step.

01:15:33Watch The Undertaker touching the arm on that sharp point of the step.

01:15:36Yeah, that looks like what happened for sure.

01:15:38You see Deadman Undertaker grabbing at his own forearm.

01:15:41But that's not gonna stop The Undertaker, come on now.

01:15:43You see how the veteran The Undertaker went into the ring, broke the count,

01:15:46gained some valuable time for himself, and then went back on the attack.

01:15:50Now what?

01:15:51Vintage Undertaker, I believe, John Cena thrown on the apron.

01:15:55Look at Cena's neck.

01:15:56Just hanging off the apron.

01:15:59Undertaker's utilizing the count by the referee here.

01:16:02Undertaker, ladies and gentlemen.

01:16:03My God.

01:16:04Weighs 305 pounds.

01:16:06Move John, move Cena.

01:16:08355 pounds running across the front of John Cena.

01:16:14Undertaker had a lot of height on that leg drop right across the neck.

01:16:19And Cena.

01:16:19And now Undertaker buys himself some time rolling into the ring.

01:16:23Look at that forearm.

01:16:25And look at The Undertaker.

01:16:27Almost in a trance as we take another look.

01:16:30I gotta wonder if The Undertaker's doing something worse or if he's enjoying this.

01:16:35You know what I'm saying?

01:16:36I don't know if he's enjoying it or not, but he's sort of being forced to do it.

01:16:38But I don't know what to believe anymore.

01:16:41I don't know what to believe out of anybody.

01:16:43I don't know what to believe either, Paul.

01:16:44What's it?

01:16:44I'm not too sure either.

01:16:46Undertaker!

01:16:48Undertaker!

01:16:50John Cena hung in this match for a while, but Undertaker's dominating.

01:16:52I'm getting more and more confused what the right thing is for the Undertaker to do.

01:16:56I have no idea.

01:16:58Hey, the Dudley boys don't even know what the right thing is.

01:17:00That's how secretive this whole thing is.

01:17:01I don't know if Paul Heyman knows.

01:17:03Here's the cover, shoulders down.

01:17:05John Cena just kicked out.

01:17:08Wow, that was impressive.

01:17:09Cena will not give up.

01:17:12Man.

01:17:13You know, we don't know what's gonna happen Sunday.

01:17:15We've never seen a concrete grip match before.

01:17:17We've never seen this contraption that Paul Heyman's haven't built.

01:17:20You're right.

01:17:21But meanwhile, back on the ranch, the blood continues to pour into that forearm from the Undertaker.

01:17:25Doesn't seem like it has any effect on the Undertaker.

01:17:26No, it's not.

01:17:27We talked about it before.

01:17:28In a matchup, the Undertaker goes into this different dimension.

01:17:31Yeah, he does.

01:17:31And right now, Cena might be in a dimension because that submission's nasty.

01:17:36Taker's knee driven into Cena's neck is stopped.

01:17:39He's got the knee driven into the neck, and I guess that would cut off the airflow of John Cena.

01:17:43Yeah, especially when you arm bar a guy, you put his arm over his head.

01:17:47You cut the blood flow from the nerves of your arm into your brain.

01:17:50You see that?

01:17:51That fist right to the back of the neck.

01:17:53Yeah, well, he might be losing some off-feeling in his right arm, Cena.

01:17:56He got some numbness.

01:17:57Might have some nerve issues going on here.

01:17:59Right hand by John Cena, the gut.

01:18:01Well, body blow there.

01:18:03I'll tell you what, this is a hell of a main event, Paul.

01:18:05I got to tell you, man.

01:18:06I'll tell you, we talked about it all night long.

01:18:08The general manager, Mr. Angle, I believe for all the wrong reasons,

01:18:13but nonetheless, a tremendous main event here tonight.

01:18:16I'm enjoying it.

01:18:17I think it's great.

01:18:18And I think the SmackDown fans love it, too.

01:18:21That's right.

01:18:21I'm speaking for everybody.

01:18:22Everybody in the world.

01:18:23I'm speaking.

01:18:23These fans have been great tonight in Orlando.

01:18:25I carried to see what they're going to be like in New York on Sunday.

01:18:27I'm speaking of Sunday.

01:18:29I don't like John Cena's chance of hanging out by the United States title.

01:18:31Not after the beating, he's taking tonight.

01:18:34I'll tell you, Booker T, when they do three and Van Damme licking their chops.

01:18:37And remember, it's an elimination matchup.

01:18:39Cena's gotta go three men just to retain the championship.

01:18:42He's got a 25% chance.

01:18:44Three quality guys in there.

01:18:46John Cena's fighting back.

01:18:47Powering back with the right hands.

01:18:49The United States champion showing the will, the heart of a champion here tonight.

01:18:54Be careful.

01:18:54Get an elbow by the undertaker.

01:18:56Perhaps the last ditch flurry for John Cena.

01:18:59Every time John Cena tries to get on top.

01:19:02Undertaker shuts it down.

01:19:03Here's the cover by the Undertaker.

01:19:05Shoulders down.

01:19:06John Cena kicks out again.

01:19:08And Undertaker, perhaps some frustration being seen.

01:19:10He's king.

01:19:11Oh, quick, Cole.

01:19:12Look at the forearm driven into the bridge of the nose of John Cena.

01:19:15It's the elbow and the bone of the forearm, Cole.

01:19:17Not just the muscle in the forearm, the bone of the forearm against your head.

01:19:21That hurts.

01:19:22Don't worry, Brian Heckner may think twice about reprimanding the Undertaker.

01:19:26Make a look in his eyes.

01:19:27The referee's gotta do his job.

01:19:28He can't just come out here and dog it.

01:19:31All right, Jack, keep coming back.

01:19:33Uh-oh.

01:19:34Left hand by the Undertaker.

01:19:35Boom.

01:19:36And Undertaker starts throwing fists.

01:19:38It's trouble time.

01:19:39Did you see that right?

01:19:41How could you not see that right?

01:19:43Drop John Cena there.

01:19:47Undertaker as John Cena desperately tries to pull himself back to his feet.

01:19:51I don't know how much the US champ has left.

01:19:54I don't think the US champion, the United States champion has much left.

01:19:58Undertaker.

01:19:58Now what?

01:19:59What is this?

01:20:00John Cena's on the top rope.

01:20:01And what evil does the Undertaker have in mind here?

01:20:04Well, it's not gonna be nice.

01:20:05Undertaker to the second rope.

01:20:07My God, Undertaker.

01:20:08Overhooking the head.

01:20:09Look at this.

01:20:09John Cena is on the top rope.

01:20:11Superplex!

01:20:12A superplex off the top rope.

01:20:15It is over, ladies and gentlemen.

01:20:17One, two, three.

01:20:20He kicked out.

01:20:21John Cena just kicked out.

01:20:23Tough as nails.

01:20:27I can't believe you.

01:20:28I'll tell you what.

01:20:29I think I'd be rooting for John Cena for this kid, but I'm rooting for him.

01:20:31Well, Undertaker now putting the pressure on John Cena again.

01:20:37Undertaker continuing.

01:20:38See, now come to think, but it looks like John Cena made the Undertaker angry.

01:20:41He's gonna get choked out here, and that's not a good thing to make the Undertaker angry.

01:20:44But that rear naked choke gonna choke out John Cena.

01:20:47I don't think John Cena has anything left in him to get out of this.

01:20:50It takes a tremendous amount of strength to get out of this hole here.

01:20:54And John Cena, I don't believe anything left.

01:20:56I'm gonna try to struggle.

01:20:57He's trying to meet you.

01:20:58I'd have just one more thing left in him to kick out of this.

01:21:01John Cena looks like a fish that you can take out of water and throw it on land.

01:21:04Yeah.

01:21:05Now, flopping around there, nowhere to go.

01:21:08Trying to get the feel back, trying to come back up.

01:21:12Surprised.

01:21:12Look at this kid, he's getting to a vertical base.

01:21:14I can't believe John Cena's back to his feet.

01:21:16He's trying to take the knee out.

01:21:17Look at that.

01:21:17Right hands to the back of the legs, the knee of the Undertaker.

01:21:20Out of the ribs, John Cena is battling back.

01:21:23Here comes the United States Champion.

01:21:25I don't know what's gonna happen.

01:21:27I mean, John Cena, he didn't have him get behind those clothes.

01:21:30The kid's running out of gas here.

01:21:32He's getting whooped out here by the Undertaker.

01:21:34You know, not for nothing.

01:21:36And I know John Cena's proud and all that.

01:21:37But hey, enough is enough.

01:21:40Go to Great America.

01:21:41Oh, wait a minute.

01:21:42It's way too soon.

01:21:43What a spy buster.

01:21:45Where did that come from?

01:21:46His heart.

01:21:47That came from his heart.

01:21:49If he asked this kid 10 minutes from now, if he did that,

01:21:51he wouldn't even know he did it.

01:21:52I'll tell you, it took a hell of a lot of guts for John Cena

01:21:55to come out here tonight and call out The Undertaker.

01:21:58But to put on the type of performance he's put in this matchup,

01:22:01after what The Undertaker is under.

01:22:03John Cena asked for an explanation.

01:22:05He didn't call him out.

01:22:06Call him out for an explanation.

01:22:08Okay, he's a big difference.

01:22:09Oh, we got John Cena back to his feet.

01:22:10Right hand to the side of the jaw of The Undertaker.

01:22:13Undertaker with the right hand as well.

01:22:14John Cena exchanging blows with the dead man.

01:22:18Don't wanna do that.

01:22:19Don't wanna go punch or punch with him, John.

01:22:22Why not?

01:22:23Off the block.

01:22:24Here comes John Cena.

01:22:25John Cena with the right hands.

01:22:27Undertaker's reeling where he was reeling.

01:22:29Very physical matchup here with both these athletes.

01:22:32John Cena.

01:22:33Oh, and a shoulder knock.

01:22:34Got the down.

01:22:35John Cena trying to build momentum.

01:22:36Look at this.

01:22:37Brings The Undertaker down.

01:22:39Here's the cover.

01:22:39Can he do it?

01:22:40Showing the stab, but not enough.

01:22:41Move.

01:22:42This John Cena is unbelievable.

01:22:45Wow.

01:22:47Perhaps the match of his life.

01:22:49You don't see Cena go to the top.

01:22:50Watch The Undertaker.

01:22:51It's a high risk maneuver for John Cena.

01:22:54Will it pay off?

01:22:55No!

01:22:56And a camel in the head.

01:22:57It may pay off.

01:22:58Can John Cena cover The Undertaker here?

01:23:01Gotta cover him, kid.

01:23:01Get on top.

01:23:03John Cena back to his feet.

01:23:04Undertaker back to his knees.

01:23:05John Cena off the ropes.

01:23:06Look at this.

01:23:07The throwback.

01:23:08The throwback.

01:23:09He's gonna get him, Cole, I'm telling you.

01:23:10John Cena may get The Undertaker.

01:23:13Don't waste time, John.

01:23:14Come on, kid.

01:23:15Do it.

01:23:15Is he gonna do it?

01:23:16Do it.

01:23:16John Cena off the ropes.

01:23:18The United States Champion.

01:23:20Five knuckle shuffle.

01:23:21Just do it, John.

01:23:22And a monster spice.

01:23:24Here's the cover.

01:23:25He's gonna get him.

01:23:26He's got it.

01:23:27Undertaker gets the shoulder out.

01:23:29What a match.

01:23:32I'll tell you what.

01:23:33Pumping wet now John Cena is.

01:23:36Undertaker looks spent.

01:23:38Undertaker's in trouble.

01:23:40Cena's got this Undertaker hurting here.

01:23:42My God.

01:23:43No way.

01:23:44My God.

01:23:45FU's going for the FU Undertaker counter.

01:23:47Knee to the skull.

01:23:49God, what a straight up boot to the face.

01:23:53Undertaker down the leg across the throat.

01:23:56And now it's over.

01:23:57Now it's a great effort.

01:23:58But it continues.

01:23:59Man.

01:24:01I can't believe it.

01:24:03Undertaker can't believe it either.

01:24:04He's got off and Undertaker gets thrown off his game.

01:24:07But I think Taker's a little shocked himself.

01:24:10Undertaker back to his feet.

01:24:11Uh-oh.

01:24:12I think Undertaker's had it up though.

01:24:13Uh-oh.

01:24:15Undertaker's stalking John Cena.

01:24:17John Cena back to his feet.

01:24:19There we go.

01:24:22A last line.

01:24:23John Cena up on the shoulders of the Undertaker.

01:24:26Good bye.

01:24:27John Cena.

01:24:28Down behind.

01:24:29And a right hand.

01:24:30Oh my God.

01:24:30And a referee down.

01:24:32Good bye ref and there goes Cena.

01:24:34With John Cena on the attack.

01:24:36Jeffrey Bryan Heppner knocked down.

01:24:37By John Cena.

01:24:38Cena beginning to build momentum.

01:24:41Well that's John Cena man.

01:24:42He's feeling it now.

01:24:45John Cena.

01:24:46You got him down.

01:24:47Can't get him.

01:24:48Get him.

01:24:50Undertaker is in a world of trouble.

01:24:52Referee's down.

01:24:53Got dropped by Taker by accident.

01:24:56Listen to this crowd.

01:24:57And Undertaker just sat up.

01:25:02Cena's feeding off this SmackDown.

01:25:04Uh-oh.

01:25:06Took too long.

01:25:07John Cena.

01:25:08He's gonna do it.

01:25:08John Cena is gonna do it.

01:25:10No way.

01:25:10An FU.

01:25:11An FU to the Undertaker.

01:25:12He did it.

01:25:12He's got him.

01:25:13It's an upset call.

01:25:14The referee is down.

01:25:16John Cena has the Undertaker defeated.

01:25:18And the referee is knocked down.

01:25:20There's no ref.

01:25:21I'm telling you, it don't matter.

01:25:22He had him pinned.

01:25:23But man.

01:25:24John Cena with an FU to the Undertaker.

01:25:27Going to the ref down.

01:25:28Cena's gonna wake him up.

01:25:29Might be too late.

01:25:30I cannot believe an FU to the Undertaker.

01:25:33No signs of life either in the Undertaker or the referee.

01:25:36John Cena trying to get the referee Bryan Heppner back to his feet.

01:25:40John Cena had the Undertaker beaten here.

01:25:43I know.

01:25:43The shot will leave something.

01:25:44Another referee out here or something.

01:25:46Uh-oh.

01:25:47Man.

01:25:48Undertaker sat up.

01:25:50John Cena.

01:25:50Man.

01:25:51Rocked into the big hand of the Undertaker.

01:25:53Uh-oh.

01:25:54Uh-oh.

01:25:54A chokeslam.

01:25:56Well in the coffin.

01:25:58With authority.

01:26:00Referee's still down though.

01:26:02The Undertaker could pick up the win.

01:26:04But the referee is down.

01:26:06We gotta get another ref out here or something.

01:26:11Would the trainer wake up this ref?

01:26:13Let's go over.

01:26:13Look in the Undertaker's eyes.

01:26:15Look at the eyes of the Undertaker.

01:26:17That's an evil look.

01:26:17It's not good, Cole.

01:26:18An evil look.

01:26:20What you got?

01:26:23I don't know.

01:26:24I'm gonna take it back to his feet.

01:26:27No.

01:26:28No.

01:26:29What is it?

01:26:31Undertaker's got John Cena's chain.

01:26:32I don't know.

01:26:33My God.

01:26:34Undertaker's wrapped the chain around his fist, his knuckles.

01:26:37John Cena heads up.

01:26:39And the chain right off the skull.

01:26:42Wow.

01:26:42Of John Cena.

01:26:44Wow.

01:26:45Perhaps the death knell to the United States Champion.

01:26:49Death knell, death blow, whatever buzzword you wanna use, Cole.

01:26:53Cena is done.

01:26:56Wow.

01:26:58A right hand with a chain wrapped around it.

01:27:01The referee was down and out.

01:27:04The referee's trying to come to his feet.

01:27:06Undertaker.

01:27:06My God.

01:27:07John Cena up high.

01:27:09My God.

01:27:10And setting John Cena up high.

01:27:12Tombstone pile driver.

01:27:14Deja vu all over again.

01:27:16Shades of last week.

01:27:17The referee has come to.

01:27:19Undertaker using a steel chain.

01:27:22Feats the John Cena.

01:27:24But this is a great matchup.

01:27:26The Undertaker.

01:27:28One thing we saw tonight was a different Undertaker.

01:27:32Yes, yes sir.

01:27:34We saw a different Undertaker.

01:27:36An evil, a focus, a violent, a dangerous.

01:27:40Undertaker.

01:27:41Did he demonstrate his loyalty to Paul Heyman?

01:27:45What a matchup.

01:27:46He did demonstrate his loyalty.

01:27:48But what a performance by John Cena, the United States Champion.

01:27:52That kid left it all in the ring in the United States.

01:27:54And he's got that fatal four-way going up Sunday.

01:27:56What scene is this gonna be?

01:27:57At the Great American Bash, John Cena defends the United States Championship.

01:28:01In a fatal four-way elimination matchup.

01:28:04But is Cena gonna be at 100%?

01:28:06Also Sunday.

01:28:07Uh-oh, look at this.

01:28:08And there's Paul Heyman with the ERG.

01:28:10Also Sunday at the Great American Bash.

01:28:13Eddie Guerrero versus Bradshaw.

01:28:14For the WWE title.

01:28:16In a pole rope match.

01:28:19And The Undertaker versus the Dudley boys.

01:28:22In a concrete crypt match.

01:28:24And is The Undertaker gonna do the right thing?

01:28:28Or perhaps more importantly.

01:28:30Will Paul Heyman do the right thing?

01:28:32Or will we see Paul Bearer buried alive in a concrete crypt Sunday at the Great American Bash?
