00:01Get up, you peasants! We are in the presence of royalty!
00:07Welcome back to Saturday Night's main event sold out in Dallas, Texas
00:10and William Regal introducing King Booker!
00:17Michael, who can imagine this young man growing up to become king?
00:24It is the greatest of all stories, but it's not a fairy tale. It is reality.
00:28It's Camelot. All hail King Booker!
00:32He makes King Arthur look common!
00:35She makes Gwinnemir look like a streetwalker!
00:39Victoria look like a lap dancer!
00:41Get ready, you peasants! We are in the presence of greatness!
00:46Ladies and gentlemen, I am privileged to introduce to you
00:50your next world champion and the king!
00:59And the king of the WWE!
01:04Accompanied by the vivacious Queen Sharmel!
01:09King Booker!
01:17All hail King Booker!
01:20All hail!
01:22My name is Finlay and I love to fight!
01:26And here comes the new United States Champion!
01:34The following contest is a six-man tag team match scheduled for one fall!
01:39Joining King Booker first, from Belfast, Ireland, weighing 233 pounds, is the WWE United States Champion, Finlay!
01:50Well, just about 24 hours ago, Finlay winning the United States Championship controversy swirling!
01:57Uh, Finlay had some help from his little friend, that leprechaun, to defeat Lashley!
02:00There's no such thing as leprechauns and what controversy!
02:04This man was undefeated for 10 years in the Amateurs in Ireland!
02:07He was Intercontinental Champion for 5 years in Europe!
02:10He is our new United States Champion!
02:16And third partner, from Silsby, Texas, weighing 400 pounds, is the world's strongest man, Mark Henry!
02:27Mark Henry, a two-time Olympian!
02:30The man bench presses over 600 pounds and has been on an absolute path of destruction over the past six
02:37months!
02:38He took out Batista! He took out Kurt Angle!
02:42And now he has his eyes set on the returning Batista a week from Sunday at the Great American Bash!
02:48More impressively, 5 billion people are on this globe!
02:52That man right there is the strongest out of 5 billion!
02:56He put out Batista once! Batista's coming back!
02:59We're not sure if the animal Batista is even healthy!
03:03Mark Henry will meet Batista at the Bash a week from Sunday!
03:06So much at stake in that matchup!
03:08The winner will become the number one contender for the World Championship!
03:12We'll face the champion at SummerSlam!
03:18And introducing next, from Colorado Springs, Colorado, weighing 273 pounds, Bobby Lashley!
03:27Had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Lashley earlier on this afternoon!
03:31He told me that he is furious, but he's not going to complain about it!
03:35He's dead set on winning that United States Championship back at the Great American Bash!
03:39Look, I don't like this guy, but he served his country!
03:42He's a former Army Sergeant!
03:43Three-time Armed Force Champion!
03:45Three-time National Champion!
03:47He is the biggest genetic freak!
03:49And I have seen them all that we have ever had in the WWE!
03:53And he's on the A-Show SmackDown!
03:55Lashley Motion is the man who took his title, Finley!
04:10Introducing next, from Washington D.C., weighing 300 pounds, Batista!
04:18Down!
04:19Over 17,000 other feet in Dallas!
04:36For the first time in nearly seven months, the animal is back in ring action!
04:48These two guys hate each other!
04:50And these two guys both are the immovable force!
04:53The unstoppable force!
04:55Talking about Batista and Mark Henry!
04:57But here comes the World Champion!
05:07And their partner from San Diego, California, weighing 170 pounds, is the World Heavyweight Champion, Rey Mysterio!
05:19Ladies and gentlemen, Rey Mysterio is the greatest underdog champion of all time!
05:26He won the championship against all odds at WrestleMania!
05:30And seemingly, somehow, week in and week out, he continues to hold the gold!
05:36He's the Cinderella of SmackDown!
05:38And when the clock strikes midnight, Michael, I'm gonna be there!
05:42Because this guy right here forced me into retirement!
05:45Because Teddy Long cheated to let him retain the championship!
05:50Well, as far as I can recall, the three men to the left of your screen, Mysterio, Lashley, and Batista,
05:56all own a number of victories over you!
05:59You remember, Michael, I was what created SmackDown!
06:03I'm what carries SmackDown now!
06:05The longest-reigning champion in SmackDown history, JBL!
06:09And we are set to go!
06:10Six-man tag-team action from SmackDown!
06:13The United States Champion Finley looking to start things off!
06:16And lastly, the former United States title holder wants to get a bit of revenge against Finley tonight!
06:23And listen to the Batista chants in Dallas!
06:25But have they brought Batista back too early?
06:28He loves these people, they love him!
06:30But is he really healthy enough to step in the ring with the world's strongest man?
06:35Well, we're gonna find out a bit tonight and then again at the bash!
06:38Lashley with a score to settle against Finley!
06:40Irish whip to the Irishman across the ring!
06:42Catches the boot!
06:45We have not seen, oh my goodness!
06:47Belly-to-belly throw by the former national champion!
06:51And King Booker and Mark Henry!
06:53And here's the standoff!
06:55All hell looks like it may break loose!
06:58What's gonna happen when we return to Dallas?
07:03We are back on Saturday Night's Man Event on NBC!
07:07Over 17,000 fans jammed into the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas
07:11for a huge six-man tag team matchup from SmackDown!
07:15In the ring, the world champion!
07:17The underdog, Rey Mysterio!
07:19And the current United States champion, Finley!
07:21And we're on like a pot of neck bone, like Donkey Kong!
07:24They say down here in Texas!
07:26Finley, I have known most of my life!
07:28He is simply the toughest person I have ever met!
07:31Third generation!
07:32Father and coach of the Irish national team!
07:35Grandfather wrestler!
07:36He doesn't get any tougher than Finley!
07:38You want to talk about tough!
07:39What about the world champion Rey Mysterio?
07:42He has gone over every obstacle that has been in his way since WrestleMania!
07:46He knocked you off a couple of times to continue to hold on to that championship!
07:50Despite his size of only 170 pounds!
07:54You know what?
07:54Stop right there!
07:55To defend the championship against me!
07:57Oh!
07:57I should be champion!
07:58The only obstacle he got over is the border!
08:00Over this!
08:01It's the border between us and Mexico!
08:02They have him hooked to the leg!
08:04And it's King Booker and Mark Henry who break up the three count!
08:09Rey Mysterio with that springboard moonsault off the top rope!
08:12And look at this!
08:15Oh!
08:15Hey!
08:15There he is!
08:16There he is!
08:16There he is!
08:17There he is!
08:17There he is!
08:17There he is!
08:18There he is!
08:24The leprechaun!
08:24And the shillelagh!
08:25Hey!
08:27Turn around!
08:28I'm gonna get one!
08:29And here!
08:30That damn troll who helped Finley win the United States Championship!
08:33What are you talking about?
08:34There's no such thing as leprechauns and trolls!
08:37He just assaulted Mysterio with the shillelagh!
08:41We're gonna book the leprechaun and Taz in a stepladder match next!
08:44This is ridiculous!
08:46How much more of this is SmackDown gonna put up with?
08:50And now Finley back in the ring to take advantage of the assault by that leprechaun!
08:58And now the unorthodox style of the United States Champion!
09:02Forearm right in the jaw!
09:03And a kick out at two!
09:05Tag made to the man Mysterio will defend his title against a week from Sunday!
09:10The number one contender at the Great American Bash, King Booker!
09:13Yes, and King Booker doesn't have a hole in his game!
09:17King Booker started right here in Dallas when I did!
09:19He has since gone on to be five-time WCW Champion and King of the Ring!
09:24He has reached a royal status in sports entertainment and he could become the next world champion!
09:31And you want to talk about a mismatch in size!
09:34The 400-pound world's strongest man!
09:37The world champion Mysterio!
09:39Mark Henry already owns a pinfall victory in an untitled matchup over Mysterio!
09:45And don't forget the Hall of Fame list of people that Mark Henry has put out of commission!
09:50Nobody holds the thickness of a champion!
09:54Mysterio trying to bring the big redwood to his knees!
09:57It's like a little kid with a hand axe trying to chop down a Sequoia!
10:01He just did! Mysterio chopped down the Sequoia!
10:04Drop kick to the side of the head!
10:07Can Mysterio make a tag?
10:08He's gotta make a tag!
10:10He's crawling toward his point!
10:11If he makes a tag all healthy food, here comes the animal!
10:15We'll see how healthy he is!
10:16Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
10:18Wait a minute!
10:19Referee Nick Patrick never saw the tag made!
10:22And now King Booker dragging Mysterio into the corner he doesn't want to be in!
10:26And look at this!
10:28Batista the cheater that he is trying to get into the ring!
10:31What do you mean cheater?
10:32He made the tag!
10:32You saw it clear as day!
10:34The referee was busy with the other corner and never saw it made!
10:37Batista tried to come in!
10:38And not only a cheater, a quitter!
10:40This guy gave up his championship!
10:42By the way!
10:42Because he had a damn hangnail!
10:44Wait a minute!
10:45You're the guy who actually said I quit in a matchup
10:48with the championship on the line!
10:50So what the hell are you talking about?
10:51I didn't walk away!
10:53King Booker whipping Mysterio the champion across the ring!
10:57Rey Mysterio!
10:58And that was a long time ago anyway!
11:01Call the match moron!
11:02I don't think Rey Mysterio knows where he is!
11:04No he doesn't know where he is!
11:05He's heading towards the world corner!
11:06No he doesn't know where he is!
11:07Mysterio through the legs of Fiddling!
11:08Get him!
11:09Through the legs of Ken Booker!
11:11Get him!
11:11Again!
11:12Now the champion!
11:13Now the referee saw it!
11:15And here comes Batista!
11:16For the first time in nearly seven months!
11:19The former world champion!
11:23But he hasn't had to face Mark Henry yet!
11:26The man mountain!
11:29King Kong wants to step in there with his big T-Rex Godzilla!
11:33Batista as Finley takes advantage!
11:37King Booker caught!
11:38Spinebuster planted him!
11:40Lashley pulls Finley out of the ring!
11:44Batista's firing up!
11:46The King's in trouble!
11:48Hey as much as I hate this guy, he is on fire!
11:51I've been in the ring with him when he does that!
11:53You better leave what he does!
11:55Cause this man is the animal!
11:57Thumbs up!
11:57Thumbs down!
11:58Does not bode well for the King!
12:03And the army sergeant!
12:05This is what the King does best!
12:06Hey!
12:076-1-9!
12:08No!
12:096-1-9!
12:11That wasn't the legal man!
12:13Batista!
12:20The King is up!
12:22Batista bomb!
12:23You don't do that to a King!
12:25Here's the cover!
12:26No!
12:27Hook of the leg!
12:28No!
12:28The King!
12:31Goddammit!
12:31Not on NBC!
12:33You can't be the King on NBC!
12:36The team of Bobby Lashley, Randy Sergio, and Batista!
12:42Talk about building momentum into next Sunday's Great American Bash!
12:48How good did the team of Batista, Mysterio, and Lashley look tonight?
12:53But they're not teaming up at the Great American Bash!
12:56Remember, championships change hands at Great American Bash!
13:00That's where JBL won it!
13:01That's where Booker T, King Booker can win it!
13:04It's just a taste tonight, ladies and gentlemen, of what SmackDown is all about!
13:09Two actions now!
13:11Boom!
13:12Now!
13:12Now!
13:14Now!
13:15Now!
13:16Now!
