00:00You dig it, sucker?
00:09Would it be? Could it be the Bookman?
00:13Checking out the throne. Booker T checking out the throne.
00:15The robe, the crown, and the scepter.
00:18Will Booker T be King Booker by the end of Judgment Day?
00:25Oh! Oh!
00:30You can feel it, man. You can feel it. This is big. I'm getting goosebumps.
00:33It's the King of the Ring Finals, man.
00:36Oh, Booker, look. She looks smooth tonight, man. Look at her.
00:40Confident. Smooth.
00:49The following is the King of the Ring Tournament Final Match.
00:54Schedule 4. One more.
00:56Making his win the ring, being accompanied by Sharmel from Houston, Texas, weighing in at 256 pounds, Booker T.
01:07What a beautiful gown that Sharmel is wearing. Oh, she looks lovely tonight, really.
01:14Booker advanced to the finals after Kurt Angle forfeited because of an injury by Mark Henry.
01:19Booker claims he will officially change his name to King Booker if he wins here tonight.
01:25Yeah, well, I said it on Friday night. I'll say it again. I know Booker has been looking into that.
01:29And then the King Booker's got a good ring to it.
01:31But King Westing does also. I mean, you know, you got to...
01:34I don't know.
01:40Sharmel, the wife of Booker T, the former Miss Black America.
01:43Look at that smile. Look at that smile. Look at it.
01:45She's got a new hair style, too. I think her hair looks beautiful, man.
01:50Maybe it's just special for the tournament.
01:52I'll tell you what. If Booker wins the stick tonight, we've never heard the last of King Booker.
01:56You think?
02:19That's the young gun right here.
02:23And from Colorado Springs, Colorado, weighing in at 273 pounds, Bobby Lutzley.
02:32The young upstart making an enormous name for himself, looking to be King.
02:35And the question is, is Lassley in the head of Booker T?
02:38We saw what happened two nights ago on SmackDown when Lassley distracted Booker T,
02:43costing Booker a tag team matchup.
02:46Is Lassley in Booker's head?
02:48I don't know. I don't know.
02:50I had a conversation earlier with Booker, and he was just...
02:53You know, I was trying to find that answer out, but he...
02:56Booker was just, you know, having fun, and he was very loose.
02:59Lassley didn't want to be bothered with anyone.
03:01Lassley's very focused.
03:02This is a gigantic opportunity for this young man with this gigantic upside.
03:07Bobby Lassley seemed real focused earlier today.
03:10The one thing Lassley has said is he's extremely upset that Booker basically overlooked him in this tournament.
03:17Lassley says he's going to make Booker pay here tonight.
03:20So this is it.
03:21The finals in the King of the Ring tournament.
03:23The winner to be crowned King of the Ring.
03:26Here we go.
03:26Here we go.
03:29Oh, and Lassley not going to take any of it.
03:32And that is a way to kick off the matchup.
03:35Lassley just dropped Booker T.
03:37Booker T's not a little man.
03:40He's already trying to maintain some control.
03:43He's just getting started.
03:44Booker T, one of the most decorated champions in the history of sports entertainment,
03:48can now add King of the Ring to his list.
03:50Lassley, the amateur star, national champion, member of the Army,
03:55claims Booker T overlooking him, wants to make a point here tonight.
03:59There's the strength to Lassley.
04:01Well, Lassley's made a point, no doubt about that.
04:04Recently, he can make a gigantic point here tonight.
04:08Lassley, that is, if he gets the win.
04:11Booker T, the veteran.
04:14Oh, Lassley, man.
04:14He looks ready to go.
04:24Booker T, Lassley, filling each other out.
04:26Final matchup in the King of the Ring tournament.
04:29Collar and Elbow tie-up.
04:30Lassley, there's Booker, back in Lassley in the corner.
04:33Ready now, now, one.
04:35He's still sticking with Booker T as your pick to win this tournament.
04:41Lassley with the rights.
04:43And listen, listen, there's no doubt about it, that Booker...
04:46Oh, wow!
04:49Explosive!
04:50There's no doubt about it, that Booker's got the experience on his side.
04:53Lassley clicks quickly into the cover.
04:55Hooks the leg.
04:56Shower's down.
04:57Kick at it.
04:57Well, Lassley's got that youth on his side, that explosiveness on his side.
05:03Oh, my God!
05:04He's on fire, man.
05:05Lassley is on fire.
05:06Again, a cover.
05:07Hooks the leg.
05:08One, two, three.
05:08I'm going to kick out my Booker.
05:10Lassley's going for covers.
05:13Letting Booker know, I want to win this thing right now, not wasting time.
05:19Lassley said it's his dream to become king of the ring.
05:23Torquing the arm, the shoulder.
05:24Right to work on the shoulder of Booker.
05:26If we take a look at the clothes, we're going to watch this impact.
05:29Man, oh, man.
05:30The shovels.
05:31Wow.
05:32He's got that Fujiwara arm bar in.
05:34Lassley does with that amateur background.
05:38Don't want to trade holes with Lassley if you're Booker.
05:40Hey, these SmackDown superstars have come to play at Judgment Day, haven't they?
05:44Oh, yeah.
05:45Yeah, but now I'm playing.
05:46I get your point.
05:47Now I'm playing.
05:48Oh, Booker T with a chop.
05:50You know, it's ironic.
05:51Whoa, watch.
05:51Whoa.
05:52Booker going for a suplex.
05:53Lassley trying to block.
05:54We haven't seen Booker get out for a standing switch.
05:57Oh, wow.
05:59Go behind right there, that standing switch.
06:01Watch out.
06:02Cover.
06:02Hook of the leg.
06:03With an authority kick at it, too.
06:05You know, it's ironic that this tournament will end with these two in the ring.
06:09Remember how it started.
06:10And there's a thumb to the eye by Booker.
06:12Veteran.
06:12When General Manager Theodore Long said there would be a tournament, Booker T came out to
06:16the ring.
06:16Remember, it was flaunting and saying he was going to be king of the ring.
06:19They were going to have a celebration for him.
06:21Oh, and then Lassley came from out of nowhere and speared Booker in the middle of the ring.
06:25That's how this tournament started.
06:26And this is how it's ending.
06:28That was then.
06:29This is now.
06:32Booker T now using his veteran instincts controlling the younger Lassley.
06:36Oh, man.
06:37Oh, didn't even affect Lassley.
06:41Exploded out of that corner.
06:43Lassley stalking his man.
06:45Double leg.
06:47Oh, man.
06:48What's he doing?
06:49Come on, Lassley.
06:51Get it out.
06:52Lassley.
06:53He's so impressive.
06:54Watch out.
06:55But there's the veteran.
06:56The veteran Booker T moving out of the way.
06:59Lassley a bit over.
07:00He went shoulder first into the post.
07:04I would say inexperienced, but that's not the case.
07:08I think Booker, you got to give him credit.
07:09They got out of the way quick.
07:11Lassley's a very fast competitor.
07:13But Booker just swung.
07:15But this is where Booker T is so dangerous.
07:17He now has the upper hand of the match.
07:20Booker T will pull out all the stops.
07:22Count it.
07:23Count it.
07:23Four.
07:25We've already seen one count out tonight.
07:27Referee Chris Kaye at five.
07:29What is looking for a count out here?
07:31He'd win the tournament.
07:32I know, but what a win.
07:34I don't think Booker T cares how he wins.
07:38Right hands.
07:39I should say right feet.
07:41Yeah, sure.
07:41Hands, feet, elbows.
07:43Well, Booker will use them all.
07:44Hands and feet in order to pick up a win.
07:47Charmell likes what she sees.
07:49Well, it's her man.
07:50It's her husband.
07:52Oh, she likes what she sees.
07:58You got five seconds to break that thing.
08:00I don't mean the arm, I mean the hold.
08:04Absolutely feeling the effects of that steel post.
08:08No one, Booker T knows he's got it.
08:10Book looks methodical.
08:12He knows he's got it.
08:13There's the great flexibility of the former five-time WCW champ.
08:18Once Booker gets control, he's going to keep it.
08:21Booker into the cover.
08:22Hooks the leg.
08:23Kick out at two by Lashley.
08:25The winner of this matchup will join a select few who can call themselves king of the ring.
08:31You see, Booker, he's the veteran.
08:33Book's the veteran.
08:34Right back to a brawn to the dance.
08:35Right back to that arm, that limb.
08:37That's the body part he's been working on and dissecting and sticks to that gameplay.
08:42Some of the men who've won this tournament over the years.
08:45Triple H, Red Heart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Edge.
08:53This tournament can make it.
08:54This king of the ring tournament can make it.
08:56Those names are just names or household names in this great industry.
09:00Booker T continues the pressure on the left arm.
09:03Lashley back to his feet.
09:05Guess if he can take out the arm.
09:06He can take that dominator out of Lashley's arm.
09:08Oh, man, right to the shot.
09:10Booker T.
09:11Here we go.
09:11Here we go.
09:12Oh, and Lashley.
09:15Lashley exploding.
09:16Knocking Booker T through the air like a spinning top.
09:19Stand near, close line.
09:20Booker almost out of his boots.
09:22What do you mean?
09:24Desperation by Polly Lashley as referee Chris Kaye begins to count.
09:28At a count of five, first man to his feet could have the upper hand.
09:33Both men on the vertical base at the same time.
09:36Lashley with a forearm.
09:37Booker, forearm by Lashley.
09:39He blocked Booker.
09:40Lashley, starting to fire up.
09:42Devastating blows.
09:44Booker T down.
09:45Running back, forearm.
09:46Another one.
09:49That's so quick and powerful, man.
09:52Inverted atomic drive.
09:54Follows it up with a clothesline.
09:59Who's calling for the double?
10:00Oh, look at this.
10:01Wait a minute.
10:02Sharmel on the eighth.
10:03And I was wondering when this was going to happen.
10:05Referee Chris Kaye got trying to get a...
10:07Oh, it's Booker with a kick to the jaw.
10:09And that jaw to head area there.
10:11Sharmel distracting the referee.
10:13Oh, T going for the bookend.
10:15Oh, got caught him.
10:17What a belly-to-belly throw.
10:19Textbook belly-to-belly suplex.
10:21How good is Lashley and how good will he be?
10:24Oh, he's setting up.
10:25He's setting up for the spin.
10:26Sharmel's got his leg.
10:28Come on.
10:29Get the hell out of there.
10:30Watch out.
10:31Booker T capitalized.
10:35That's all it took.
10:36That one second.
10:37Get on, Ray.
10:38Get on him.
10:39You've got to be kidding me.
10:40Find it behind every...
10:41Oh, watch out.
10:42Bookend.
10:43And that's it.
10:43Booker T is going to be the king of the ring.
10:46There's two.
10:47Got him.
10:47He got him.
10:51Oh, man.
10:53Booker T.
10:54Lashley, watch it.
10:55He's determined.
10:59Booker with that sharp echoing through the arena.
11:04Oh, Lashley caught him.
11:06Uh-oh.
11:07Look at this.
11:08Running power slam.
11:09Saved to the British Bulldog.
11:11Here's the cover.
11:12Oh, no.
11:12Letting get a kick on it, too, by Booker T.
11:17Another great match.
11:20This has been some hell of a night at Judgment Day.
11:24I'm telling you.
11:25We still got Cullian, Undertaker, Mysterio, and JBL for the one time to come.
11:33And a bounty chance.
11:35Booker T with a heel kick to the jaw.
11:40The veteran Booker T taking advantage.
11:43Scissor.
11:44Scissor.
11:44In the back of the head.
11:45Right in the back of the feet.
11:47He got him.
11:47This is it.
11:48And that's it.
11:49Booker T going to be king.
11:51That's it.
11:52No.
11:54Got him.
11:58Lashley is just won't stay down.
12:01Booker T cannot believe he hasn't been able to put Lashley away.
12:07Man, I don't know how the guys get rid of this stuff.
12:09No clue.
12:11Booker T missed.
12:12Uh-oh.
12:12Uh-oh.
12:13Bobby.
12:13Oh.
12:14He spared him.
12:15He spared him.
12:17Here we go.
12:19Lashley's feeling it.
12:22Oh, give me a minute.
12:23Wait a minute.
12:24It's Finley.
12:25What are you doing?
12:25The shillelagh.
12:26Oh, my God.
12:27The shillelagh to the skull.
12:28You gotta be kidding me.
12:30Oh, come on.
12:31Damn, Sharnell distracted the referee.
12:34You gotta be kidding me.
12:36Finley?
12:37What the hell?
12:38No.
12:38This way.
12:39Not this way.
12:40Oh, my God.
12:41Booker T into the cover.
12:45Oh, damn it.
12:49Wow.
12:51Here's your winner.
12:53And the king of the ring, Booker T.
12:59This is not good.
13:01We are not going to hear the end of this.
13:03What do you mean?
13:03It's King Booker time.
13:04Maybe that's King Booker.
13:06Well, I'll tell you one thing.
13:08Booker's cork jester.
13:09Finley came out of nowhere.
13:11And clucked Lashley with the damn shillelagh.
13:13Finley, that's why Booker won the damn thing.
13:15You did it.
13:16Well, I know.
13:17That wasn't right.
13:17Look at the smile of King Booker.
13:19The 2006 king of the ring.
13:22Oh, man.
13:23That's huge.
13:24This is Lashley.
13:26Watch this spear.
13:28Lashley going for the victory here.
13:31Sharnell distracted the ref.
13:32Watch Finley.
13:34Oh, my God.
13:35That's Shillelagh.
13:36I don't care who the hell you are.
13:38There ain't no way.
13:39No way.
13:39Get up or off.
13:40Oh, hell.
13:41King Booker.
13:42Well, remember, it was Finley who lost the last league in the semifinals in this tournament.
13:47And you all lastly fell by that Shillelagh again.
13:51But there he is.
13:53King Booker.
13:54Oh, Booker.
13:55All his subjects bowed down to the king.
13:59Oh, man.
14:00King Booker.
14:00This is going to be an absolute nightmare.
14:02This is going to be a nightmare.
14:04I don't want to point out that I didn't make this.
14:06Congratulations.
14:07Why do you join his court?
14:09Oh, no, no.
14:10Check this out.
14:10What?
14:12Oh, man.
14:13What a great history.
14:15What do you mean?
14:15Hey, this is history right now.
14:17You're a witness in history.
14:21The king.
14:23Look at Booker.
14:23Look at Booker.
14:24Look at it.
14:25He's all proud.
14:26He's all proud.
14:27Oh, man.
14:28He's the king.
14:28Of course he should be proud.
14:29Yeah, he's the king.
14:30He's the king.
14:31Put on the crowd.
14:32Wave to your subjects, Booker.
14:34She's got the crown.
14:35Look, Sean Mell's got the crown.

14:47Oh, my God.
14:48What the hell?
14:50Lastly just beat Booker through the throne.
14:53Oh, my God.
