00:16The following contest is a steel cage match to unify the tag team championship.
00:23Victory is attained by either pinball or by both men of one team going over the top.
00:32Introducing first, representing the alliance, and accompanied by Stacey Keebler,
00:37and a combined weight of 556 pounds, the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions,
00:45The Bentley Boys!
00:58This is a unification match-up to unify the WCW and WWF Tag Team titles.
01:14And a combined weight of 441 pounds, the WCW Tag Team Champions, The Hardy Boys!
01:25A huge night for the Hardys returning to their home state.
01:29Their father, a postman down there in Cameron, North Carolina, here to watch this event.
01:34Oh, he's a post guy? I have nothing bad to say about him.
01:38This match can be won by pinball or by both members of one team escaping over the top of the
01:46cage all the way to the floor.
01:49But here we go, the Dudleys, the only team in history to hold the WWF, ECW and WCW Tag Team
01:57Championships
01:58against the Hardys, one-time WCW Tag Team Champions, five-time WWF Tag Team Champions.
02:06The titles get unified now.
02:13These two teams have met many times, but never in a cage match, and certainly never in a situation that
02:21the stakes are this high.
02:24Think of all the great WCW Tag Team Champions, the Andersons, the Road Warriors, the Steiners, Flair and Valentine.
02:32Think of all the great WWF Tag Team Champions, the Valiants, the Samoans, the Bulldogs, the Heart Foundation, the Rock
02:40and Sock Connection.
02:41One Tag Team title dies tonight.
02:45And there you see Nick Patrick locking the cage door.
02:49Again, pinball or both members escaping over the top of the cage to the floor.
02:54That's how this match can be decided.
02:56No count outs, no disqualifications, obviously, as Bubba Dudley and Matt Hardy starting it out here for their teams.
03:05Again, there's not going to be too many surprises that the Dudleys and the Hardys could spring on the other.
03:11Well, you never know. They never fought in a cage before.
03:14They've had TLC matches. They've had ladder matches. They've had table matches.
03:19But never before had the Dudleys and the Hardys competing inside of a steel cage.
03:24Matt taking in, Jeff.
03:26And the Hardys double-teaming in their own extreme style.
03:30Bubba Ray and Bubba kicks out at the one count.
03:34The Dudleys bigger, stronger, maybe more physical than the Hardys.
03:38No doubt about that.
03:39But the Hardys are so resilient.
03:42And their wrist takers.
03:43Side slam!
03:44And Bubba looking, not working by the hour here.
03:48Looking in this one early as the tag is made to his alleged half-brother Devo.
03:52Why alleged? Do you know Big Daddy Dudley?
03:55No, do you?
03:56Oh, yes, sir, I do. The man was very promiscuous.
03:59A male trap, you might say.
04:02And Devo and the pride and joy of Dudleyville.
04:05Last drop kept by Jeff Hardy taking down Devo.
04:08Another quick tag.
04:10Certainly the Hardys known to make a lot of tags, known to take a lot of chances.
04:14And the top of this cage certainly not immune territory as far as the Hardys or the Dudleys for that
04:21matter are concerned.
04:21No telling where this offense is going to originally as this match progresses.
04:26Devo, let's not forget these pinballs.
04:28There's a backslide.
04:30Hooked and a near fall.
04:32Close but no cigar.
04:33And now, Devo.
04:36A lot of strength there in Devo.
04:39Manhandling.
04:41A lot of determination at Devo.
04:44Well, Devo is a gamer, no doubt about it.
04:46Certainly, both these teams would love the distinction of being the team that wins this unification matchup that gets put
04:54in the history books on this night, here on November the 18th, here in Greensboro.
05:01And I'll give the Hardys credit here in their home state.
05:05I think the Hardys should be unified tag team champions.
05:09With the exception of one team.
05:11That team being Bubba Ray and Devo, the Dudley boys.
05:15Ed just won his unification match earlier tonight here at the Survivor Series.
05:19So, he will have his job no matter the outcome of the main event tonight, the 10-man elimination tag.
05:26And look at those heavy arms.
05:28From the, a man that's worth of 300 pounds.
05:32Bubba Ray Dudley!
05:33Got all that weight, all that mass on, on Matt Hardy.
05:36And there's a tag.
05:37And every pound on Bubba Ray Dudley is mean, malicious, merciless, and ambitious.
05:43Ambitious enough to bring back to Dudleyville the first ever unified tag team championship.
05:49Matt Hardy trying to block up Demon.
05:51Come on, everybody wants their face rubbed in that cage.
05:55Cage is very unforgiving, to say the least.
05:57And a hard knockdown, it's Matt Hardy being isolated here by Bubba and Devo,
06:01who make yet another tag in their corner.
06:04Let's talk about the quick tags of the Hardy boys.
06:07How about the quick tags in and out of the Dudley boys?
06:10Look at it!
06:10They're a great team.
06:12Can't take that away from them.
06:13Their, their character may be in question.
06:15Their integrity may be in doubt.
06:16But their, their track record speaks for itself.
06:21Yeah, nice counter move by Matt.
06:23Matt Hardy bought himself a little time.
06:25Matt is in really no condition to stay in this, in this match.
06:28Needs to make the tag, as the Duchess of Dudleyville looks on.
06:33And there is the tag.
06:34And here comes a rested Jeff Hardy.
06:39Jeff hammering a D-1 on the outside.
06:41Jeff better focus on, on Bubba Ray as D-1 came in.
06:46Why does this guy have blue hair?
06:48Why does it cover?
06:50There's one thing I can't stand is blue hair.
06:53Why do you not have any hair?
06:55I'd rather be bald than have hair like that.
06:58Well, you are.
06:59I might be of an old lady from North Carolina.
07:02A little blue haired grandma.
07:03And both the, and the Hardy's now picking it up here.
07:07The poetry in motion from one side to the other.
07:10And Matt and Jeff, like that pass breaking basketball team,
07:13they want to kick it up here a little bit.
07:15And now both Hardy's, one picking one side, one picking the other.
07:19You can win this match by climbing over the top all the way to the floor.
07:22Both members got to do it.
07:24And the Hardy's are thinking about it.
07:25The, the Dudley's are in hot pursuit.
07:28Well, it's going to take a real leap of faith at L.M.
07:31for the Hardy's to win this one.
07:33The Dudley's and the Hardy's.
07:36A side Russian leg sweep from the top rope.
07:39It hurt Devon.
07:41I think it hurt Matt Hardy just as much.
07:42And look at the bubble bomb.
07:44The bubble bomb.
07:46Right off the top turnbuckle.
07:48Will someone pick Jeff Hardy's spleen off the canvas?
07:52My God.
07:53Come on.
07:54And that size advantage of the Dudley's in maneuvers like that.
07:59Well, it gives them such a decided advantage.
08:02And now Bubba's on the move.
08:05Again, the pitfalls or escape over the top of the cage to the floor,
08:09which results in a victory in this unification tag team title matchup.
08:13And Bubba, big body slam off the top turnbuckle.
08:17And Matt Hardy looking for three.
08:19He got two.
08:20And a long time two.
08:22Back on the, back on the assault here.
08:24And that keeping a pressure on Bubba Ray.
08:27Count broken up by Devon.
08:29And this match has degenerated.
08:30With all four men basically hanging in the ring.
08:35Jeff Hardy still has yet to regain his feet from that Bubba bomb.
08:43Double team moved by the Dudley's ramming Matt Hardy's head into that steel cage.
08:48Jeff Hardy back in the fight.
08:50But how much fight can he have left?
08:52And Jeff.
08:53Oh, Jeff.
08:56Jeff, he's like an orangutan.
08:58He's trying to run away.
08:59Jeff is trying to run away.
09:00He's trying to win the match.
09:02He's like a North Carolina orangutan.
09:04He wants to climb out and win this thing.
09:06But one man can win the match.
09:07Both members of the team have to escape.
09:11And Jeff finds himself in a bad place with a hoasis landing.
09:16What a rush.
09:19And look at this carnage.
09:24Watch this.
09:25Look at the quickness of Jeff Hardy.
09:26Look at this.
09:27Help me Bobby.
09:28The W's are gonna kill me in the cage.
09:31Jeff trying to climb out and do his share for winning this matchup.
09:36But look at lying on a prone on the mat.
09:38It's still Matt Hardy.
09:50And the Dudley's have signaling for their 3D.
09:54This match quite frankly right now.
09:56It may be this very academic.
09:58The Dudley's certainly in a dominant position here.
10:01With both parties splattered on the canvas.
10:04The Alliance is just so damn dominant tonight.
10:07And the damn Dudley's are leading the way.
10:11And this has the edge.
10:13They're very dominant, that Alliance group.
10:14One match.
10:15One match and you gotta rub it in.
10:17Well, you have been rubbing it in all night.
10:20Like a great masseuse, haven't I?
10:23That's a hideous thought.
10:24I want to take a shower.
10:26And there's a cover and a break up.
10:27Matt Hardy breaking it up.
10:29It looked like the Dudley's may have gotten a 3 that time.
10:33And Devon measuring Matt Hardy.
10:35Those high risk moves have taken it out of the Hardys.
10:39And they're gonna have a hell of a time getting back in this fight.
10:42Unless the Dudley's make some big mistakes.
10:44This one is maybe just a matter of time before it's over.
10:48And Matt mashed into that cage.
10:50Oh man, here comes Bubba!
10:53Jeez!
10:54Bubba Dudley 300 plus with a head of steam.
10:58Bubba's got a very quick first step.
11:01And he planted Matt Hardy in that steel cage.
11:04The killer instinct of the Dudley's have led them 14 times
11:10to one tag team championship or another.
11:14And Jeff Hardy, like a human javelin.
11:18Folks, look at the impact here.
11:19Watch this impact right here on Matt Hardy.
11:24That is sickening.
11:27Man, I don't care how you slice it.
11:31The human anatomy going into the cage like that is gonna hurt.
11:34It's gonna hurt for a long time.
11:36And the Dudley's now literally just manhandling and physically dissecting
11:40the Hardys who got a huge whole field advantage coming into this matchup.
11:45Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
11:48Nothing but fly on right hands by Devon Dudley.
11:51And it just goes from bad to worse.
11:53From Devon to Bubba Ray.
11:55Why are you feeling so sorry for the Hardys?
11:58They entered the match, they took the risk, the risk backfired.
12:02And now the Dudley boys, look at this, they ascended the top row, the Dudleys!
12:08And nobody there for Devon, and nobody there for Bubba Rice.
12:14The Dudleys want to play the Hardys game, and that would cost them,
12:18certainly cost the Dudleys some momentum.
12:24Double close line by Matt Hardy, and Matt and Jeff now.
12:28Get back in this thing, can they get the Dudleys down at least long enough
12:33for Matt and Jeff to escape over the top of the cage,
12:36or to catch the quick one, two, three.
12:39Rawlton, that's blurry by Matt Hardy,
12:41but he has to shake off the beating that he just absorbed.
12:45Matt Hardy bleeding from the mouth, and there's a neckbreaker.
12:48Matt looking for the cover, doesn't have a solid cover, boom!
12:52Rancy, can feel what was about to take place, and there's a DDT!
12:58Matt Hardy bleeding it all, with a DDT, the cover,
13:01and Bubba Dudley's right shoulder came off the canvas just a few inches,
13:06and look at this impact.
13:13Downstairs goes Jeff, and the Hardys are starting to turn this thing around a little bit.
13:19The momentum's starting to shift back to the Hardys.
13:24Double back body drop, great elevation by the Hardys on Bubba Ray Dudley.
13:31And the Dudleys certainly have been resilient in their career,
13:36their success speaks of that.
13:38Now what's this?
13:42Well, the Dudleys tried something earlier.
13:49And they should do it right here, it should do it.
13:52He's gonna be there!
13:55And I mean, a close near fall, the Hardys trying the high risk,
14:01it paid off for them, but Devon Dudley able to stop the count.
14:06And now maybe this is the path the Hardys should have thought of just a couple of moments ago,
14:11not the second distance.
14:14Matt Hardy trying to climb out of here.
14:18Matt trying to climb up.
14:20And Devon there to meet him, and Devon, my God.
14:27Matt Hardy's hung up, he's hung upside down there.
14:30Matt Hardy's foot is hooked in the top of the cage.
14:33Matt Hardy hooked in the top of the cage, he's helpless there.
14:37Watch out!
14:38And Devon driving his head below the belt on Jeff Hardy.
14:44And look at this.
14:45It's like, Matt's a human piñata.
14:48Stacy, step in the table!
14:50Look at the table!
14:51Matt Hardy in a cage!
14:53A table!
14:55How you gotta get a table in a cage?
14:58If anybody can figure it out, it's Stacy.
15:02Oh my God, I'm in love!
15:05With Nick Patrick?
15:07I thought that was over.
15:08If he comes along with the package,
15:11what is this?
15:14I think she just pickpocketed a damn key, and she did.
15:20Yes, she did!
15:22Oh, the Texas of Dudleyville, she's so resourceful!
15:26Yeah, nothing like an irreputable official, huh?
15:29That's confident officiating.
15:30Nick Patrick still doesn't know what's going on.
15:32The door's open, he's got the only key,
15:34and he ain't figured it out yet.
15:44This is very personal because the Dudleys not only want to beat the Hardys,
15:49they want to beat the Hardys and drive the Hardys through a table for good measure.
15:54And here comes the 3-D.
15:56It's going to be no, it's gone over!
15:59Matt Hardy intercepted Bubba Ray.
16:04Jeff was able to put the brakes on and avoid the 3-D,
16:08but that table is still sitting in the ring
16:10in this Unification Tag Team Champions hit match.
16:15And now Matt Hardy climbing up.
16:19Can you look at this time?
16:22Matt's trying to climb down.
16:24And Bubba Ray frantically trying to pull Matt Hardy back in the cage,
16:29and Matt lashing out with right hands from startling that the top of the cage
16:34is going to be 20 feet off the floor here,
16:37and then we've gone right.
16:39Matt Hardy is out of the cage.
16:44We need one more.
16:45Jeff, one more Hardy out, and this one's over.
16:48Oh, this is going to backfire on the Hardy boys!
16:51What a mistake by Matt Hardy!
16:52Jeff Hardy is all alone in the cage!
16:56Jeff, go for the cover!
16:57Just got to get out of the ring!
16:58Just got to climb out!
17:00He's as quick as Jeff Hardy!
17:02Oh, what a mistake!
17:03What a huge mistake!
17:04Jeff Hardy's alone!
17:05Alone with Bubba Ray and DeVon!
17:08Jeff Hardy fighting for his life.
17:09His brother Matt has successfully escaped the cage.
17:12His brother Matt has abandoned him!
17:14I don't think that was the best of the case at all.
17:18And DeVon tasting that steel cage,
17:20and it don't taste like chocolate.
17:26Look at Jeff going underneath the table.
17:29Get a pile on the top.
17:32Jeff can get out of here, and both be touched.
17:35The Hardys have done it.
17:36They'll come home to North Carolina.
17:38Right as it currently is his brother.
17:40They'll come on down.
17:42The Hardys have won it.
17:44Oh, no!
17:45Look at this!
17:46Jeff Hardy can't resist!
17:48He can resist everything by temptation!
17:51God, what the hell?
17:52Jeff Hardy, Jeff don't do this!
17:55No!
17:55Get him out!
17:56My God!
17:58Jeff Hardy could have crawled down the cage, and this match would be over.
18:03But Jeff could not resist.
18:06The Swantown from the top of the cage on a prone DeVon Dudley!
18:12The biggest mistake of the night so far is by Jeff Hardy!
18:15And Matt's on the outside, trying to climb back in!
18:18One, two, three!
18:18That is too late!
18:20The Dudley's have made history!
18:22The winners of this match, and the undisputed Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boys!
18:31The Dudley Boys have unified the WWF and WCW Tag Team titles!
18:37I respect the passion of Jeff Hardy, but quite bluntly, ladies and gentlemen, Jeff Hardy
18:44made an error in judgment there!
18:46Jeff should have climbed right over the top of the cage, and joined his brother on the
18:50floor, and this match would have been over.
18:52But Jeff could not resist that Swantown from the top of the cage, and he found nothing but
19:00wood and canvas.
19:02No Dudley in sight.
19:04Jeff Hardy can resist anything but temptation, and in my opinion, this establishes Bubba Ray
19:11and DeVon, The Dudley Boys, as the greatest Tag Team in history, period!
19:18Well, dare you say that, as the EMTs tend to do Jeff back in the ring here, this is a
19:23closing
19:23moment of the match.
19:25Jeff could have climbed over the top, got down the floor, but he couldn't resist.
19:29Jeff Hardy could not resist that adrenaline rush to execute a Swantown from the top of the
19:36cage.
19:37But as you see, there was no body on body.
19:41It was body on wood in canvas, allowing the Dudleys to score the 1, 2, 3.
19:50Lead in the ring, and as certainly concerned as everyone should be, that was one of the most
19:56hellacious, high-risk moves that I have ever witnessed.
20:03And I've seen a lot of them, matter of fact, in this coliseum.
20:07And- Hey, I hate to see any athlete down, even a WWF athlete.
20:12And it was a great, great move by Jeff Hardy, but it backfired.
20:18You're really compassionate, aren't you?
20:19I'm telling the truth.
20:20Hey, listen.
20:20You really are.
20:21I have a little bit of compassion in my body somewhere.
20:23Where is it?
20:24We lift this cage out of my wallet.
20:26Here's another look at it.
20:27Jeff just could not resist.
20:29And I'd like to find a compassionate female to share it with me.
20:32Wow!
20:32And there you see.
20:33Man, the human anatomy just got smacked in that wood and on that cactus.
20:39Jeff blew it.
20:41The table was disintegrated.
20:42I hope that this young man's body was not.
20:44Tell the story.
20:45Jeff Hardy-Bluis for Lita, for his brother, and for the WWF.
20:50And the Dudleys are the greatest tag team.
20:52This kid needs medical attention.
20:53That's the story here.
20:54Of all time.
20:55Not your BS.
