00:02You know what this watch is saying?
00:06This watch is saying it's time for Stone Cold Steve Austin to once again lead the alliance to greatness.
00:16That's what it said.
00:21I'm gone for one day.
00:24I successfully defend my title at no mercy in a triple threat match.
00:30I'm gone for one day and you guys lose four titles.
00:36You're pathetic.
00:39What we're going to do tonight, what?
00:43Is we're going to take back what is ours.
00:48Under my leadership, we're going to take back what is ours.
00:54We're going to start with the WCW title, which belongs to Y2J Chris Jericho.
01:05I will go on record as saying if I didn't have these 12 staples in the back of my head,
01:14courtesy of Vince McMahon, that I would personally take that title back myself.
01:25But what we're going to do is I'm going to look at these alliance members and ask you, who is
01:34the one to step forward and take on Chris Jericho?
01:41No, no, no, no, no.
01:46No, no, no.
01:47Shut up.
01:49What we're going to do, we are going to have an alliance battle royal right here tonight.
02:00And the winner of that match will face Y2J tonight for the WCW title.
02:10Now, since I can't officially make this match, I'm relying on your expertise and your good judgment and authority to
02:21make this match official.
02:24Will it be the alliance battle royal with the winner facing Y2J tonight?
02:30Most certainly, yes.
02:33And that's the bottom line, because the World Wrestling Federation champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin, what, said so?
02:43Well, how ironic is it Austin was questioning Shane's rough treatment of the alliance, but now Austin's pitting alliance members
02:50against each other in a battle royal?
02:52Will you stop trying to stir it up, Stone Cold Steve Austin has demonstrated the great leadership quality that he
03:01brings to the table.
03:02The first ever alliance battle royal to determine who faces Y2J for the WCW title.
03:09Austin watched the title back where he says it belongs.
03:12Is that match next?
03:18Back on SmackDown, Stone Cold Steve Austin couldn't wait to get this alliance battle royal underway, Paul.
03:24But it's not just an alliance battle royal, it's an over-the-top rope battle royal.
03:29To be eliminated, you have to go over the top rope.
03:33But more importantly, the winner of this alliance over-the-top rope battle royal gets a shot at Y2J.
03:40And the WCW title tonight on SmackDown.
03:44Already, Billy Kidman and the Hurricane have been eliminated in this alliance battle royal.
03:49And as Paul mentioned, the winner to meet Y2J for the WCW title.
03:53Stone Cold Steve Austin coming out here moments ago, upstaging the owners of the alliance, Stephanie and Shane McMahon.
04:00And you know, Paul, it seems ironic to me that Austin questioned Shane's so-called tough love,
04:04but Austin's got alliance members beating the hell out of each other in this battle royal.
04:10Thank you for your whimey, worthless, uneducated opinion.
04:14David Richard over the top rope.
04:17And here goes Tan.
04:18The alliance battling themselves with a right ahead of by Y2J.
04:23Oh, look out, Lance Storm trying to toss Chris Cannon.
04:26And there's Rob Van Damme, double-pied by Hugh Morrison, former Ray Dudley.
04:29So much at stake in this match.
04:31A chance to take on Y2J for the WCW title here tonight.
04:35Look out, these men are clutching to that rope, making sure they don't go over the top rope.
04:42Every man in the ring tonight wants to fight Y2J for the WCW title tonight.
04:49Oh, Hugh Morris going to the top rope.
04:51What the hell is he going to do here?
04:52Look out, Hugh Morris, a tremendous moonsault to Justin Credible.
04:57Oh, 3-D.
04:593-D, 3-D, again, this chaos, thanks to Mr. Vince McMahon.
05:04Ever since that devil came back, all hell has broken loose.
05:09Justin Credible has been eliminated.
05:12Oh, what a rope.
05:14Hugh Morris is eliminated.
05:16The alliance battle royal continuing.
05:18Oh, wow, Lance Storm to Tommy Dreamer.
05:20The winner to get a shot at the WWE, that's Chris Jericho tonight.
05:25Jericho, the new WCW champion.
05:29As Paul mentioned, it is an over-the-top rope battle royal.
05:32Must be eliminated by going over the top rope, both feet, touching the floor.
05:36The Dudley boys, double-teaming RBD, and perhaps it seems to me, Paul, that RBD is a marked man.
05:44Well, RBD is the most popular member of the alliance.
05:47The crowd drool at ECW, of course, these men are gonna try to eliminate RBD.
05:54Every man wants the opportunity to fight Y2J, Chris Jericho, to pursue the WCW.
06:02They're all jealous of him.
06:03You're trying to just say that they're all jealous of RBD, everyone in the alliance.
06:06Jealous at RBD's popularity, jealous of his athletic ability.
06:10Look out, oh, top rope, this is a truck.
06:12Is that what you're trying to say, they're jealous of RBD?
06:14No, that's not what I was trying to say.
06:15Perhaps if you'd listen, you'd learn something from him.
06:19Rob Van Dam off the ropes, Chavo Guerrero up, oh, top.
06:22Guerrero lands on the apron, however, and now Test, and what a kick by RBD.
06:26Here goes Chavo.
06:27Adios, amigo.
06:29The alliance battle royal continuing, Test and Booker Tia team, going after Rob Van Dam.
06:36Mike Awesome, Tommy Dreamer, one corner.
06:38Canyon taking it, Lance Storm in the other.
06:40It's Raven working on Bubba Ray Dudley.
06:42Interesting, Mike Awesome and Tommy Dreamer.
06:45When Mike Awesome originally left ECW for WCW, he was in the midst of a storied rivalry with Tommy Dreamer.
06:54They have a lot of unfinished business.
06:56Bubba Ray may be going over the top rope.
06:58Raven working on keeps himself in the ring, however.
07:01Oh, look at this.
07:02Tommy Dreamer.
07:03Oh, my God.
07:03Mike Awesome crossing Tommy Dreamer through a table under the top rope.
07:09Tommy Dreamer has been eliminated.
07:12Now that is a move by Mike Awesome, number one, and down a line on Nitro, on Raw, on SmackDown.
07:20Not since Mike Awesome's A-Day in ECW.
07:23Has he done anything that extreme?
07:26But tonight, the stakes in the over-the-top rope battle royal, the winner gets a shot at Y2J.
07:34Tommy Dreamer is hurt outside the ring, and Mike Awesome is going to try the same thing to RBD.
07:40To the face.
07:41Awesome not eliminated.
07:42He is now.
07:44Now he is.
07:44He's on the floor.
07:47Up the eight.
07:48We're doing a clothesline from Bubba Ray Dudley to RBD, who just eliminated Mike Awesome.
07:54And check this out, Paul.
07:56This is an awesome feat.
07:58The awesome ball of Tommy Dreamer cracking that table in half, and he's still being tended
08:04to outside the ring, as Just Incredible is eliminated.
08:09The battle royal heating up.
08:12You've got to believe Chris Jericho's somewhere in the back, watching this battle royal, looking
08:17to see who his opponent is going to be tonight on SmackDown.
08:19Now, in the corner, and what a clothesline by Test.
08:26Mr. McMahon is expected here tonight.
08:29The Rock is here as well.
08:30Boot to the face from Canyon to Test.
08:34Boy, Test would make a great WCW champion.
08:38What a right hand of the gut.
08:40And Canyon taking a tremendous amount of abuse.
08:43Pump handle.
08:44What a slam.
08:47Over the top rope, no pitfalls in this battle royal.
08:50Canyon up over the top, down and four below, he's eliminated.
08:53I figured out the answer.
08:55Who better than Canyon?
08:57Test, of course.
08:58So look at this.
08:59The W boys swearing off in one corner.
09:02Test to Booker T, Parker's in the other corner.
09:04And Raven and RBD have paired off.
09:06Only six men remain.
09:08Six men will have to battle it out.
09:10Strength in numbers, perhaps, right with the D-Von.
09:13Bubba Ray to Test, Booker T, to Rob Van Dam.
09:15And here we go.
09:16Tommy Dreamer's still being attended to.
09:18Outside the ring, actually being tossed to the table.
09:21Six men remain.
09:22Who will face Jericho here tonight?
09:24But not just tossed through the table.
09:26Toss from the middle of the ring.
09:28Over the top rope.
09:30Through the table.
09:31And D-Von's out.
09:32D-Von Dudley and Bubba Ray is well eliminated.
09:35Boot from Test to Raven.
09:36Raven is gone.
09:38RBD, Test, and Booker T remain.
09:41RBD is all alone against Booker T and Toss.
09:44The former WCW Tag Team Champions are in the ring against Rob Van Dam.
09:50And Rob Van Dam with a crowd chanting RBD, walking on Booker T.
09:55RBD ripped into the corner.
09:57The unorthodox Rob Van Dam.
09:59Toss don't know, he didn't, he hung out of the aprons.
10:01Through Mike Test, and Van Dam's eliminated.
10:03And Toss knocked out by his own partner, Booker T.
10:06Booker T wins.
10:08Booker T faces Jericho.
10:11And Toss can't believe it.
10:12Booker T.
10:13Ladies and gentlemen, you're going to witness this victory tonight.
10:16When Booker T becomes a six-time WCW Champion after he gets his hand on Y2J.
10:25And Toss gave it thumbs up to Booker T after that shot of being eliminated wore off.
10:31Check out what happened in the flurry in this matchup.
10:34Toss is okay with it.
10:36What are you trying to smoke stuff?
10:37Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
10:39The single most electrifying move in sports entertainment, the Sina Rooney.
10:46I don't know who's more nuts, Booker T, or you, Paul.
10:50Oh, please.
10:54That was beautiful.
10:55Hopefully that'll be the last time we see it tonight.
