00:00:01And we are back live here in Madison Square Garden.
00:00:05The following contest is scheduled for
00:00:08one fall with no time limit and pitfalls can happen anywhere.
00:00:14Making his way to the ring accompanied by Chyna from Greenwich Connecticut.
00:00:18Weighing in at 244 pounds, the king of the ring, Hunter Hearst Hounsley.
00:00:28Hunter Hearst Hounsley sent to meet Dune Love in a Falls Count Anywhere matchup.
00:00:33And what a heinous pair after what they did to the British Bulldog,
00:00:37what they did to the Bulldog's wife in Birmingham on Saturday night.
00:00:42King, we were there, but you've got a special guest as we can see.
00:00:46I got a special guest here with you, of course, Chyna.
00:00:55We're having some microphone problems, King.
00:01:01King, your mic's not working.
00:01:04Here, try this one.
00:01:06Try this one, King.
00:01:10Is this mic working?
00:01:12Somebody tell me.
00:01:13That's working, King, go ahead.
00:01:14Once again, let me say, the queen of late night television is with us.
00:01:18She's right here, USA, up all night, every Friday night, Rhonda Shear.
00:01:22Rhonda, you're good.
00:01:22That's coming from the King.
00:01:24I didn't know I was gonna come out here and say that I can drop kick you and
00:01:28then body slam you, but I'd rather just keep you up all night,
00:01:31every Friday night on USA.
00:01:33Woo, it's all right with me.
00:01:35Is that okay?
00:01:36Not even Rhonda Shear can raise the dead, but that's another issue.
00:01:40And remember, this match falls count anywhere.
00:01:46And his opponent, from Truth or
00:01:48Consequences, New Mexico, weighing in at 287 pounds, Dude Love.
00:01:58Quite a rivalry between Dude Love or Mankind, Dude's alter ego.
00:02:02Falls count anywhere, no disqualification.
00:02:05Oh, have mercy, Hunter, and especially your finer china.
00:02:11I know what you must be thinking.
00:02:13Dude, what are you doing back here when you should be out there kicking some
00:02:18heavy duty booty all over the garden?
00:02:21Well, Hunter, my man, I believe it's time we had a little rap.
00:02:25Oh, because you see, falls count anywhere.
00:02:29Well, that's not exactly my bag, baby.
00:02:32The pin falls in the hot dog stand.
00:02:35The pin falls in the street, the chairs, the tables.
00:02:38It's not exactly a love thing.
00:02:41But I know somebody, Daddy, who's bag it indeed is.
00:02:46He's my man.
00:02:48He's my main man.
00:02:50You might even say,
00:02:51Well, Daddy, he's a kind man.
00:02:55A kooky type of cat.
00:02:57Let's bring him out right now.
00:03:01Mankind, my main mandible.
00:03:03I'm high, big man.
00:03:04Oh, you're too slow.
00:03:07Mankind, good to have you at the love shack.
00:03:10Hi, dude.
00:03:10Thanks for having me here.
00:03:12The pleasure is all mine.
00:03:14You really are eye candy for the chicks, dude.
00:03:16That much I know, Daddy, but you gotta tell me about this wacky match.
00:03:20Falls count anywhere.
00:03:21Dude, as much as I've dreamed about destroying Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
00:03:25I know you have.
00:03:26As many horrible things as I'd like to do to him.
00:03:29I know you can.
00:03:30I know someone who dreams about it even more.
00:03:32Who is it, Manny?
00:03:33Someone who's willing to do even worse things than I am.
00:03:36Oh, no.
00:03:37Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?
00:03:40I think I am thinking what you think.
00:03:42I think you're thinking.
00:03:44Can you bring him out, Manny?
00:03:45Here he comes.
00:03:46Where is he?
00:03:47Cactus Jack is back.
00:03:50Somebody spiked me.
00:03:51I thought he was dead.
00:03:52He's alive.
00:03:53Thankfully, it may be the darkest day of your life
00:03:57because it's Madison Square Garden and Mrs. Foley's little boy.
00:04:02Bye-bye.
00:04:02Are we all?
00:04:04Bang, bang.
00:04:05All have mercy.
00:04:07What in the world?
00:04:08God.
00:04:10Drastic times call for drastic measures.
00:04:14And for a man that has Russell O'Neill,
00:04:18his barbed wire and set himself on fire, this will be a day at Central Park.
00:04:26Bang, bang.
00:04:27He's back.
00:04:28Look out.
00:04:33Cactus Jack, the other alter ego of Mick Foley, yes, this is Mankind in due love.
00:04:42And we've never seen Cactus Jack in the WWF until tonight.
00:04:50Listen to these moronic fans.
00:04:53This has got to be the second blackest day ever in the WWF.
00:04:57Or maybe the blackest.
00:04:59Cactus Jack is as hardcore as anybody could ever be.
00:05:06Remember, this match has known as one of the locations, falls down anywhere.
00:05:12A death breaker on the exposed floor of the Garden.
00:05:17And there's a cover and a three or two count on the outside.
00:05:28Cactus Jack, he might chase Hunter Hearst Helmsley all the way down to the Metropolitan
00:05:33Opera where Bill Clinton is, trying to pin him there.
00:05:38The prominent left foot of Cactus Jack right in the face of Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
00:05:46Look at this.
00:05:54Cactus Jack is an idiot.
00:05:57He may be a little insane, I have to agree with that, King.
00:06:02Run, Hunter.
00:06:06Trying to just nail Cactus Jack.
00:06:10Nothing the referee can do about it.
00:06:14And it's, whoa!
00:06:16The 200 pound female bodyguard of Helmsley just knocked Cactus over the rail,
00:06:22right into the people.
00:06:24Yes, yes!
00:06:28Let's go tell them where this one is gonna end up here in Madison Square Garden.
00:06:34And look out, where are they going?
00:06:36Back to the locker room area.
00:06:38Here they go.
00:06:39What?
00:06:44He tried to pin him back there.
00:06:48My gosh!
00:06:49Right down, right down, right down.
00:06:52That's the Jack slammed on the floor.
00:06:54Right back in the locker room area.
00:06:57Helmsley now walking back out here in the arena.
00:07:01Grab something, Hunter, and hit him with it.
00:07:06Helmsley's out of the three count.
00:07:07161!
00:07:12Fire, fire!
00:07:14Look out!
00:07:14The fire extinguisher right in the face.
00:07:18Catless Jack, should I say, fighting fire with fire.
00:07:23And Helmsley, those kidneys first, right into the security rating.
00:07:28All hell is breaking loose in the square garden.
00:07:33They broke the entire railing.
00:07:36I've never seen that double where they broke the entire railing down.
00:07:42Here's what Chyna did just a few moments ago.
00:07:46We see what, we see what, we see what, we see what, we see what, we see what.
00:07:49Look out!
00:07:50Helmsley up and over from the Irish whip.
00:07:55Here's Chyna, boom, right there.
00:07:57No, he hit him with a garbage can.
00:08:01Metal trash can is as legal as a wrist lock.
00:08:09My gosh!
00:08:12Cactus drove his own elbow right into that trash can.
00:08:15His entire body.
00:08:20Unbelievable, look at Chyna.
00:08:22Look at this.
00:08:24Boom.
00:08:25And Chyna really asserting herself in this matchup on Miz's
00:08:29Foley's baby boy from nearby Long Island.
00:08:33Cactus Jack in his first appearance in the WWF is in trouble.
00:08:38And we'll be right back.
00:08:39Look out!
00:08:40Pounding!
00:08:41We're back and we're live in Madison Square Garden here on Raw is War.
00:08:45This is a Falls Count Anywhere matchup.
00:08:47Hunter Hearst Helmsley taking on the other alter ego of Miz's Foley's boy.
00:08:53It's not dude love, it's not mankind, but it's Cactus Jack.
00:08:57Yeah, what are Mr. and Mrs. Foley thinking about right now, huh?
00:09:02Here's something they didn't get to see right before we went to break.
00:09:04Take a look at this.
00:09:06Wham!
00:09:08Baby boy gets crowned.
00:09:10If you just joined us, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler here on ringside.
00:09:14Vince McMahon has been injured at the hands of Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Stone Cold Stunner.
00:09:19We'll give you an update on Vince's condition as soon as it's made available.
00:09:24And Cactus Jack's neck just snapped off the top ring rope.
00:09:28I guarantee you, McMahon's in better shape than either one of these two guys.
00:09:31They've fought everywhere.
00:09:32They've been back in the locker room.
00:09:33They've got chairs in the ring.
00:09:35They've got mops in the ring.
00:09:36Garbage cans.
00:09:37It's been horrible.
00:09:38Look at this.
00:09:39China the Amazon, the bodyguard of Helmsley has really been involved in this matchup.
00:09:44And Helmsley, the Connecticut Blue Blood, who in recent weeks has shown tremendous-
00:09:49Look at this.
00:09:52And it chairs right to the ribs.
00:09:54Had to leave a mark.
00:09:56Cactus Jack's ribs have got to be aching from the pounding that he has been taking.
00:10:02Look at that.
00:10:04Sternum first right into the steel ring post.
00:10:08Hey, do you think Dude Love and Mankind are watching this?
00:10:11Mankind probably enjoying it.
00:10:13I got a feeling they're feeling the pain.
00:10:15No!
00:10:16No blow by Cactus Jack.
00:10:20Remember, this match has no disqualifications.
00:10:23It falls down anywhere.
00:10:26What is he doing?
00:10:27And that's a near fall.
00:10:29A near fall, what a move.
00:10:32What a stupid move.
00:10:39Cactus Jack in trouble.
00:10:44Did you hear the impact?
00:10:46Helmsley for Mr. Bang Bang.
00:10:49The back body drop on the railing.
00:10:51And Chyna just made a cactus in a steel chair.
00:10:55And he doesn't like it.
00:10:59.
00:11:02Helmsley just ran cactus from behind, who in turn collided with Chyna.
00:11:08He and Chyna.
00:11:09He and Chyna.
00:11:10Chyna nailed against the ring steps.
00:11:12She looks to be unconscious.
00:11:19She's out of here, Chyna.
00:11:22We'll take another look at it, but there's a cover.
00:11:25Juan, it's over.
00:11:26No, it's not.
00:11:27There's a counter.
00:11:28Look at this.
00:11:28Juan.
00:11:30My gosh, Chyna being nice to get to you.
00:11:34The steps.
00:11:36She's gotta be hurt and hurt bad.
00:11:39Look at this.
00:11:40Suplex on the steel girder.
00:11:43How can these two athletes, how can they even walk?
00:11:48How can they even stand?
00:11:49Chyna is injured.
00:11:51She's not moving.
00:11:52And Cactus Jack almost pinned for the three count.
00:11:55Where's your compassion?
00:11:57Poor Chyna's hurt.
00:11:58Why don't you go help her?
00:11:59Well, get some medical help.
00:12:01Why don't you go give her mouth to mouth, King?
00:12:03She's a lady, I'm not a doctor, she needs help.
00:12:08Look at this.
00:12:09Smash, yes.
00:12:11Helmsley with another trash can, right to the head of Cactus Jack.
00:12:16Count him like a railroad spike.
00:12:22Check on Chyna.
00:12:23There's the cover, and Cactus Jack got the left shoulder up.
00:12:34Ross, I knew this was gonna be an unbelievable man.
00:12:36Look at this, snow shovel.
00:12:39But who would have ever expected Cactus Jack would show up here tonight at
00:12:43Madison Square Garden of all places.
00:12:48Cactus Jack was born Mick Foley, grew up on Long Island.
00:12:51Houston, used to hitchhike to the garden.
00:12:54Quit browbeating us with useless information.
00:12:57Go check on Chyna.
00:13:01No doubt.
00:13:08Man, did you, my gosh.
00:13:11Cactus Jack, the back of his head, just bounced off the steel of the basketball.
00:13:18And now Helmsley's bringing the table out here.
00:13:21Yes.
00:13:23Again, Cactus Jack isn't exactly the sharpest blade in the drawer, is he?
00:13:27Man, what's this gonna be?
00:13:31No way.
00:13:33No way.
00:13:33Helmsley is gonna pedigree.
00:13:35No he's not, no he's not.
00:13:39No way.
00:13:40Piledriver, yes.
00:13:47And the three count.
00:13:49What?
00:13:49Cactus Jack wins it, Cactus Jack has won it.
00:13:54Look at Chyna sacrificing herself.
00:13:58She collapsed.
00:14:00Unbelievable.
00:14:02Here is your winner, Cactus Jack.
00:14:06Raw is war in Madison Square Garden.
00:14:10This has been a phenomenal match shot.
00:14:16My God, we need an ambulance.
00:14:18We need an ambulance.
00:14:19We need three ambulances.
00:14:22We've got, it looks like a car wreck.
00:14:24Look at that idiot.
00:14:25He's smiling.
00:14:27Probably got a, I would have a broken neck, but he's smiling.
00:14:32That idiot.
00:14:33One more look, it looks like Helmsley was gonna drive Cactus through the category.
00:14:45And look at Mr. Bang Bang, this is Foley's baby boy.
00:14:49He's crawling away from the carnage.
00:14:54It looks like he just jumped off of the Brooklyn Bridge or something.
00:15:09Woop, the moment.
00:15:11And it لا, it's Maradona.
00:15:12наши beer speaking days.
00:15:20You watch the moon.
00:15:28That was Lonnie the game.
00:15:30Here are incomplete picks and now you're playing from my view of the day.
00:15:34I'm insisting in call one of teenagers now.
00:15:36You got angled through life, maybe.
00:15:38And you said unacceptable.
00:15:38So if you don't get Кар花's or whatever else is elected now.
00:16:01This is a slam as any sustained roar I have ever heard in Madison Square Garden.
00:16:10It has been eight long months of El Aces Rehabilitation to repair the cord cordless muscle.
00:16:19But folks, the game has returned from the World Wrestling Federation.
00:16:26And the crostiniest they are, a thought sign in the tag that said,
00:16:31it's a new game, is it a new game?
00:16:33Or is this the same Triple H that ran rough shots over every
00:16:38WWF superstar he faced?
00:16:40As controversial as anybody that's ever been in the WWF.
00:16:46But you can venture your final thought that every moment of hell that he went through
00:16:52to rehabilitate that leg was thinking about this point in time,
00:16:57this very night, in this very arena, before the WWF world.
00:17:05He's back!
00:17:07Triple H is back!
00:17:10And folks, business has picked up.
00:17:13The game is back in business.
00:17:17And this sold out crowd in Madison Square Garden just can't get enough of it.
00:17:29Can you imagine the big upgrade, the aggression that was built up after eight long months of El Aces Rehabilitation
00:17:38for this man?
00:17:39Can you imagine what it's gonna be like when the first man steps in the ring to meet the game?
00:17:53Whether you like this man or not, ladies and gentlemen, this is a triumphant return, as good as it gets.
00:18:02I don't think I've ever seen anything like it, Dale!
00:18:06I don't think I've ever heard anything like it!
00:18:08I don't think I've ever heard anything like it!
00:18:12And I have been to the national championship football games, Super Bowls, World Series,
00:18:18and I've never felt or heard the emotion as we are experiencing and feeling here tonight in the world's most
00:18:26famous arena for the world's most famous game, Triple H.
00:18:35This is an overwhelming show of respect.
00:18:39It is oozing from the hearts of every fan sitting here in Madison Square Garden.
00:18:45And again, I'll reiterate, block him or not, this man deserves respect.
00:18:52I wanna hear what he has to say, JR.
00:18:54You gotta remember, this is the same man who used slag cameras on people.
00:18:59JR, this is the same man who opened your arms!
00:19:02He's as deadly as they come, the cerebral assassin.
00:19:09He is a tough, resilient, WWF superstar, as resilient, as tough as anybody that I personally have ever seen.
00:19:25And he's fighting.
00:19:30We're about to find out.
00:19:32His agenda.
00:19:34Right, in his own words.
00:19:41Let the game begin.
00:20:04This crowd really didn't, they're gonna stop cheering long enough to let the man talk.
00:20:12He's gotta feel everything that these fans are feeling for him right now.
00:20:17What an emotional moment.
00:20:22Just in case you've forgotten, let me tell you just into who the hell I am.
00:20:31I don't think they've forgotten.
00:20:33I don't think they've forgotten.
00:20:37I am the game.
00:20:44And you can bet your ass I'm back.
00:20:57And I am the guy that tonight officially enters the Royal Rumble.
00:21:03Wow.
00:21:04What?
00:21:05First off the big picker, now the game.
00:21:07And I-
00:21:10Now wait a damn minute.
00:21:12What the hell is this idiot, Kurt Angle, the audacity to interrupt this man's return?
00:21:18Now wait a minute, JR.
00:21:19You know we've been waiting for Kurt's announcement all night long.
00:21:21No, we haven't.
00:21:22You got a mouse in your pocket?
00:21:24Nobody gives a damn about Kurt Angle's announcement tonight.
00:21:27What are you talking about?
00:21:28I've been waiting all night for a pervaded breath.
00:21:30You saw, you saw, you saw.
00:21:35It's gonna be big, I'm sure.
00:21:37Who the hell do you think you are?
00:21:40Uh-oh.
00:21:43A quad injury kept you out for eight months, eight months.
00:21:50I won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freaking neck.
00:21:55Well, that's true, you know.
00:21:57So you come back here for your big return, Triple H's big return.
00:22:04Triple H, Triple H found out of something.
00:22:09Come on, we wanna hear the big announcement.
00:22:11Well, if anyone deserves this time right here, right now, it's me.
00:22:16So you're on my time, pal.
00:22:19Man, what?
00:22:21Ridiculous.
00:22:22And I'm glad you're out here to hear my major announcement.
00:22:26Uh-oh, here it comes.
00:22:27Because it's even bigger than your big return.
00:22:31That's big.
00:22:32It's something that everybody's been waiting for.
00:22:35What is it?
00:22:38And my major announcement is that I, Kurt Angle, will also enter the Royal Rumble.
00:22:47Whoa!
00:22:48My first ever Royal Rumble.
00:22:51That's huge, JR.
00:22:52That is huge.
00:22:53What an announcement.
00:22:54Earth-shattering.
00:22:55And you wanna know why I didn't enter the Rumble last year, Hunter?
00:23:00I think you know.
00:23:03Because I was too busy pinning your ass to the mat.
00:23:06What do you think about that?
00:23:08Well, we're at Angle trying to steal the spotlight from Landis at eight months of therapy.
00:23:14And again, the game, the game taking down Angle.
00:23:17And Timberlake with those big old right hands at the base of the top of Kurt Angle.
00:23:23The game now stopping the tail of Kurt Angle.
00:23:27They're gonna both be in the Rumble, and they're running right now.
00:23:30Look at him.
00:23:32Look at him.
00:23:33Look at the game.
00:23:34Look at the game.
00:23:35Look at the game, he's in great shape, and he's here to fight.
00:23:37And he's showing no respect, Kurt.
00:23:40Kurt Angle wouldn't deserve any respect after interrupting this man.
00:23:43Look at him.
00:23:44Look at him.
00:23:44The tournament suplex.
00:23:46What about that?
00:23:47And what a suplex by Kurt Angle.
00:23:50He just drilled the game in that front tournament suplex.
00:23:53Hey, is the game off already?
00:23:55Huh?
00:23:55The game just getting started.
00:23:57This game is not over.
00:23:59Whoo!
00:24:01And Triple H pulling his leg back.
00:24:05Triple H has got Kurt Angle right by the throat.
00:24:07Look at him.
00:24:08He went, the game went right for the throat king.
00:24:11Look at that.
00:24:14Look at Kurt.
00:24:16No, no.
00:24:17That's in the game.
00:24:18And Peter Breen.
00:24:19Peter Breen.
00:24:20Peter Breen.
00:24:23The Olympic champion just got his hand.
00:24:26Peter Breen.
00:24:27And that's what happens when you steal the spotlight from the game.
00:24:33My God.
00:24:35Look at this.
00:24:36My God, the game looks better than ever.
00:24:40The game is back.
00:24:42Business has picked up.
00:24:44Triple H in the rumble.
00:24:46Kurt Angle in the rumble.
00:24:47Austin in the Royal Rumble.
00:24:49And so is The Undertaker.
00:24:51I am the game.
00:24:53This is unbelievable.
00:24:55Kurt Angle came out here to make a major announcement.
00:24:58In fact that he's gonna be in the rumble.
00:25:00And look, he's not playing by the game.
00:25:03Kurt Angle had no business interrupting a game first.
00:25:09First announcement is the first time he's gonna talk and let us still have a feeling and what was going
00:25:16on in his life.
00:25:17I know he had all that ten up frustration.
00:25:20All those eight months of being on the injured list.
00:25:23And then coming back with all these fans with Kurt Angle.
00:25:26A major announcement.
00:25:27It was true.
00:25:29Kurt Angle should have made his announcement earlier.
00:25:32Or he could win a Thursday night on SmackDown.
00:25:34Wait, wait, wait.
00:25:34But not tonight.
00:25:35Don't come back down there.
00:25:39My God, the game is back.
00:25:42This has picked up here, folks.
00:25:44And the Royal Rumble.
00:25:46And the whole new look.
00:25:48The game is back.
00:25:50Let the hell raising begin.
00:25:54Can you dig it, sucker?
00:26:05And this one is gonna be intense.
00:26:08Can you dig it, sucker?
00:26:19The Bugle and Tag Team contact is scheduled for one fall.
00:26:23Introducing first, weighing in at 251 pound Booker T.
00:26:28It's already been an eventful night with Mr. McMahon busting Ric Flair's head open with a lead pipe.
00:26:35We saw RGD and his first guard appear as a big test with a little help from referee Tim White.
00:26:40We know now there's going to be a wet t-shirt contest tonight that the King is going to emcee.
00:26:45I'm going to get the emcee at all, Trish and Terry.
00:26:48The interesting bizarre duo, Billy and Chuck, continue their winning ways.
00:26:53And William Regal returns and brass nuts to knock out Edge.
00:26:57And now this main event.
00:27:00We haven't even seen Triple H yet.
00:27:03Introducing his tag team partner from Cobb County, Georgia, weighing in at 305 pounds, The Vox Man.
00:27:1116,000 plus selling out in the garden here tonight.
00:27:15The hottest ticket in town, I can tell you that.
00:27:17And by the way, WWF is back here in the garden tomorrow night.
00:27:20In addition, this weekend, a big weekend in the state of Texas.
00:27:23Texas, the WWF is coming Saturday to Lubbock and Beaumont, Sunday to Houston and Waco.
00:27:32Not to mention one week from tonight in the Lone Star State in Dallas for WWF Raw.
00:27:54And this is an ovation of ovations here in Madison Square Garden for the people's champion, the man that will
00:28:03meet the undisputed WWF champion, Y2J.
00:28:07He's got the rental in WWE in Atlanta at James Brown The Raw and the Rock teams are playing.
00:28:16The Stringer.
00:28:17That's two weeks away for the Royal Rumble in Atlanta.
00:28:23And The Rock has got him checked here tonight.
00:28:31Boy JR, who's gonna be in the garden?
00:28:33He's gonna be the king tonight.
00:28:34Coach Rock's gonna be the snorkeen king.
00:28:39And get ready for a rattlesnake.
00:28:43Whoa!
00:28:45What?
00:28:46His tag team partner for Victoria, Texas,
00:28:49weighing in at 252 pounds, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:28:55Austin with his headband just up, stitches in his head.
00:28:59Thanks to Booker T and the Boss Man.
00:29:02Who?
00:29:03Stone Cold.
00:29:04Who?
00:29:06That's Booker T's new catchphrase.
00:29:07Come on, buddy.
00:29:08Let's get a little air time.
00:29:09Who?
00:29:10Who?
00:29:11What?
00:29:14This crowd on their feet with a Texas rattlesnake, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:29:22Austin and the Rock have certainly had their differences.
00:29:28They'll be put aside, at least we think and hope they will, with this matchup.
00:29:33Both the Rock and Austin with good scores to settle against the Boss Man and Booker T.
00:29:39I still gotta wonder how these two are gonna get along.
00:29:43I mean, let's face it.
00:29:45Two of the tops of the entire world gotta coexist here.
00:29:49The Rock and the Rattlesnake.
00:29:51You know there's no love between those two.
00:29:54Hey, where are they going?
00:29:54Yeah, here we go.
00:29:56The Rock and Austin.
00:29:58Looking for the Rock and make the move.
00:30:01Give me the save.
00:30:03The Boss Man back in black but
00:30:05the one receiving end of that rattlesnake's damage right here.
00:30:08Look at how Austin has a new fast press and the right hands to the face of the Big Boss
00:30:13Man.
00:30:14Here in New York City's Madison Square Garden.
00:30:17And Austin drops a hammer on the man in black.
00:30:20Thank goodness for that flag jacket.
00:30:23Hard right hand by the rattlesnake.
00:30:25The Rock has got Booker T on the outside.
00:30:28There goes the Big Boss Man.
00:30:29And now Booker T is on the inside.
00:30:31And another man that opened off to the last Thursday night of UPN SmackDown.
00:30:40Booker T, they know what it feels like sometimes.
00:30:44Look at him.
00:30:45Get pummeled here.
00:30:46And Booker T hotshot for the rattlesnake.
00:30:49Look at him.
00:30:50Big Boss Man's head bouncing off our table here.
00:30:53I can't help you.
00:30:56Austin isolated with Booker T in the ring.
00:30:58We're in a little bit of trouble here.
00:31:01I'm gonna take him back to the ring.
00:31:04Austin out.
00:31:06One of the right hands from the Texas rattlesnake, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:31:12Missed him, missed him.
00:31:13From the atomic drop, the inverted words, he didn't work that time.
00:31:18The T's, they can wear the T's when you need them.
00:31:20Booker T's on the top rope, Austin has entered himself into the Royal Army.
00:31:23The Royal Rumble in Atlanta, one of 30 men that will be vying for the right to go to
00:31:28WrestleMania and meet the undisputed champion, whomever that may be.
00:31:35I'm telling you, the Rattlesnake of The Rock came out here,
00:31:38intent to put a weapon on the Boss of California team.
00:31:43What, what, what?
00:31:49After stomping a mud hole in the Boss Man,
00:31:52and then attempting to walk it dry, the Boss Man.
00:31:54Talking about what?
00:31:55The Rock got a thumb to the eye.
00:32:00I said a what?
00:32:02Mud hole, you said a mud hole.
00:32:05The Rock hits the tag.
00:32:09I'll tell you what, there's something that catches,
00:32:11can about this one.
00:32:13The Rock and Austin beating Booker T and Boss Man,
00:32:30trying to derail the Rock here.
00:32:33And the Boss Man makes a quick tag to Booker T.
00:32:36And Booker T, they're pulling his backside, sucka.
00:32:40You love saying that, don't you, JR?
00:32:42Look out.
00:32:45Look at the face first on the canvas,
00:32:47here in Madison Square Garden tonight.
00:32:50Still awaiting the-
00:32:52Look out.
00:32:54Man, right into this.
00:32:56It's still scheduled to be here.
00:32:58And The Rock hit our table with a tremendous amount of force.
00:33:02Right, JR?
00:33:03Why not me?
00:33:04I'm not worried about me.
00:33:05The Rock's in trouble.
00:33:06Did that hurt my super soaker?
00:33:08I've been looking for super-
00:33:11And the Boss Man with that nightstick, you know,
00:33:14how much, enough is enough for the damn nightsticks.
00:33:17I mean-
00:33:18I know, he's using the left height like this, my man.
00:33:21Stop.
00:33:23He's hideous.
00:33:25The Rock got gutted with that nightstick of the Boss Man,
00:33:29when he detected by senior referee Earl Hemmer,
00:33:31now The Rock is in a hell of a lot of trouble here.
00:33:35Booker T and Boss Man seemingly back in the driver's seat here.
00:33:39In this tag team main event.
00:33:44Trying to get away.
00:33:45He was balanced.
00:33:47And a cheap shot on the rattlesnake by Booker T.
00:33:50And that is not a good investment of your time.
00:33:55That was working.
00:33:58Rocker, that's one of the right hand.
00:34:01Caught a couple of, and Booker T, look at that big kick.
00:34:05Back of those forearm shots to the people's chin.
00:34:20And the Rock went face first right to the canvas.
00:34:38And Booker T, Booker T just caught the bookend.
00:34:43This runs to the rock bottom.
00:34:45Here comes Austin back in.
00:34:46Austin's gonna make sure Booker T doesn't fall off with a pin.
00:34:50And this is Austin with a spine buster and a kick to the face.
00:34:55Get out!
00:34:56Come on, referee's lost complete control.
00:34:58Look at this, and a complete lack of respect for authority there by the Rattlesmith.
00:35:02Well, at least it's not like Tess shoving the referee around and a big bully.
00:35:05I'd rather have that and get the double bird in the face.
00:35:09And now the referee, Earl Hedner, has got a ten count to work with here.
00:35:15And Booker T makes the tag.
00:35:18Let's see now if the Boss Man can capitalize on a wounded rock.
00:35:25Fancy about the Boss Man, he just comes in with this line.
00:35:30Boss Man, a veteran, knows every trick in the book.
00:35:33Plus, he's got that night stick.
00:35:35One, two, three.
00:35:36Boss Man, knows that much.
00:35:39Right to the ribs and abdomen of the rock.
00:35:42First it was a night stick.
00:35:45A ringside table in the rock, and he caught that right hand.
00:35:49Boss Man, his credit is still standing, and takes down the rock.
00:35:52Big clothesline for the Boss Man.
00:35:54There's the cover, here we got, and the rock shoots that lush shoulder up.
00:35:59Boss Man with a high impact, took a hell of a right hand, able to stay on his feet.
00:36:05And now makes the tag, another tiny tag, to Booker T.
00:36:08And Booker T with a straight martial arts kick.
00:36:12This could be all here, and Austin making sure it's not.
00:36:16Austin coming right in and kicking Booker T right off the rock.
00:36:20And I think that kicked Booker T off.
00:36:21Also not gonna forget that he was laid open last Thursday night on UPN SmackDown
00:36:27by Booker T and the Boss Man.
00:36:30And we've seen the damage that they have done in recent weeks to the rock as well.
00:36:36Booker is wearing out the rock.
00:36:40Whoa, he's about to be laid down.
00:36:42One, two, one.
00:36:43Knife gets chopped by the rock, with a Rick Blair whoo's in the background.
00:36:48One.
00:36:48They're receiving medical attention.
00:36:50We'll get an update to see if we get it.
00:36:52Booker T don't want to see this team.
00:36:53But the rock, one, and comes with the DDT.
00:36:56That's it.
00:36:57Rock team with the DDT.
00:36:59Two.
00:36:59Both men are down here.
00:37:01All Rock's gotta do is just run here and crawl across the team.
00:37:04We'll have him.
00:37:04One, two, one.
00:37:06Austin would love to get a tag.
00:37:09And this member, Booker T and Norris,
00:37:12the boss man.
00:37:16And the rock, trying to shake those cobwebs and get to the corner.
00:37:20He needs to make a tag.
00:37:22Austin is ready to go.
00:37:24Of course, so is the boss man on the other side for Booker T.
00:37:28Look at the rattlesnake.
00:37:30Well, he and the boss man got those arms outstretched.
00:37:33And we got a tag.
00:37:34And we got a tag on the box man.
00:37:35Booker T got the tag.
00:37:36And so did the rock.
00:37:37Here comes Austin.
00:37:40Austin hammering anything that moves.
00:37:44And the man in black, the big boss man.
00:37:49That's over 300 pounds.
00:37:51A knockdown of Booker T.
00:37:53Austin all over these two men.
00:37:55Watch it.
00:37:57Spinebuster on the, Austin dodged that one.
00:38:01Austin catches Booker T with the right hand.
00:38:03Boy, Booker T thought he had the rattlesnake.
00:38:06And Austin went right underneath and got that butthole with AJR.
00:38:10And Booker T from behind, nailing Austin.
00:38:12But the rock is back up.
00:38:13And the rock now, peeling off Booker T and laying the smack down.
00:38:18Austin got that night stake.
00:38:20He missed with it.
00:38:21Austin did miss with a stunner.
00:38:23Stunner.
00:38:24Austin got the stunner.
00:38:26Austin and the rock gets the victory.
00:38:30Here he is The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:38:37This is Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:38:40He came to whip ass and take names.
00:38:43And that's exactly what he and the people's champion did here tonight.
00:38:47Now wait a minute, what's Austin gonna do now?
00:38:50Hey, he's getting in the face of The Rock.
00:38:52I knew this couldn't last.
00:38:54They got their little business out of the way and now they're gonna go at it.
00:38:58Here we go.
00:39:01What are they gonna do?
00:39:03Rock is smart.
00:39:04He's not gonna turn his back on that Texas rattlesnake.
00:39:08And Austin just poured some beer on the big boss man.
00:39:15Austin has entered the Royal Rumble.
00:39:18But Rock will be at the Royal Rumble as well to meet the undisputed champion.
00:39:23Well, let's check it out again.
00:39:25They are.
00:39:25You're right.
00:39:26Big boss man, but he got a stunner for his trouble.
00:39:31And one, two, three, it was over.
00:39:33Now they're toasting their victory.
00:39:36Booker T and the boss man will have to recruit for another day.
00:39:40There was too much rock in Austin.
00:39:54And we are back live in Madison Square Garden for another emotional ceremony for the legendary
00:40:01hardcore legend Nick Fowley.
00:40:02We have another legend.
00:40:04And he's Shawn Michaels, the incomparable Heartbreak Kid.
00:40:19The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:40:23Introducing first from San Antonio, Texas, the heartbreaking Shawn Michaels.
00:40:29What a night this is here at Madison Square Garden.
00:40:32We are seeing some of the biggest names in the history of the WWE.
00:40:36Building the momentum to next Monday night.
00:40:39We'll be live in Buffalo, New York.
00:40:42Shawn Michaels will be there.
00:40:43He'll lead a huge contention of WWE superstars in the Buffalo next Monday night.
00:40:50But will Shawn Michaels get some revenge from Bad Blood here tonight?
00:40:55Introducing his tag team partner, weighing at 305 pounds, Kevin Smith.
00:41:02First time Nash and Michaels and partners in Madison Square Garden for a live,
00:41:07televised event, another history-making night.
00:41:12You're right, this is history-making.
00:41:13I mean, look at this.
00:41:14We just saw Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:41:17We saw Mick Foley.
00:41:19We even saw Vince McMahon and now HBK and Kevin Nash.
00:41:23What a night.
00:41:24The stars have come out here in New York City.
00:41:27What a tag team match.
00:41:29Where scorers to be settled from Bad Blood.
00:41:36Wow.
00:41:40And tonight WWE Raw is brought to you by Charlie's Angels.
00:41:45Full Throttle in theaters everywhere June 27th.
00:41:48And by Truth.
00:41:49We encourage you to peek behind the curtain.
00:41:52Metaphorically speaking.
00:41:54And by NikeBasketball.com.
00:42:04Yeah!
00:42:16Introducing the team of Randy Orton and the major boy, Rick Flair.
00:42:23Well, Rick Flair defeated Shawn Michaels at Bad Blood as you saw as he came back from commercial break with
00:42:30a huge steel chair assist from Randy Orton.
00:42:36And Orton, the youngest member of Evolution.
00:42:42Perhaps the future of the WWE is that young man, the third generation superstar who hails from St. Louis, Missouri.
00:42:53Oh yeah, past, present, the future, you're right.
00:42:55He is definitely the future.
00:42:56You know who taught me that?
00:42:58Triple H.
00:43:00And that's good enough for me, JR.
00:43:02Shawn Michaels has had great success in Madison Square Garden.
00:43:05As a matter of fact, the last time the World Heavyweight Battle changed hands at the Garden was when Shawn
00:43:10Michaels won the Elimination Chamber match at the Survivor Series last November against Triple H.
00:43:18I'll never forget that one.
00:43:19But Triple H is the champion now, right JR?
00:43:21Absolutely, at least for the time being.
00:43:25Will he be, as this night progresses, Colonel Botia, Nature Boy, Ric Flair, perhaps the greatest world's champion of all
00:43:33time, a 16-time champion.
00:43:35Hey, look at this.
00:43:35Shawn Michaels now, staying one step ahead of Flair and hammering Flair.
00:43:39Ooh.
00:43:40Flair with a knife, and Michaels turns the table.
00:43:44Disrespect.
00:43:45Those hard knife-edged shots of his own.
00:43:47Flair Irish was sent in.
00:43:48My.
00:43:49Back body drop, and a shot to Randy Orton.
00:43:53Maybe that'll take some of the cockiness out of this young 21-year-old Randy Orton, who just got a
00:43:59tag from the dirtiest player in the game.
00:44:02Now, you watch Randy Orton right now.
00:44:03Nothing will take the cockiness out of this young man.
00:44:06You know what?
00:44:06I don't know if it's cockiness for confidence, JR.
00:44:09This guy's good.
00:44:10He's very good.
00:44:12He's very good.
00:44:13And if you don't believe it, just ask him.
00:44:15And there's the seven foot, 300 plus pound Kevin Nash.
00:44:19He's got power.
00:44:20He's got power.
00:44:20He's all power.
00:44:21And straight ahead.
00:44:22And Nash.
00:44:24He, the smash mouth persuasion.
00:44:27Got a near fall on young Randy Orton.
00:44:31And a hard coastline knocked down.
00:44:33Our fans are still voting on whether they think that Triple H will lose the title tonight to Kane, or
00:44:41will Kane be unmasked?
00:44:43That is it.
00:44:44WWE.com, that's the question.
00:44:46Log out right now, you can still vote.
00:44:47One, two, three, four.
00:44:49Nash.
00:44:50And off-air can dish out those shots, and Nash has put on the brakes.
00:44:57I'll tell you something, what if we, what if, what do you think is really underneath that mask of Kane?
00:45:03I mean, nobody has ever protected their identity.
00:45:06I can't think of anybody that has never let anybody see him.
00:45:09I mean, you know, even back in the locker room, when he gets here, he's got that mask on.
00:45:12When he gets to the arenas, when he showers after the matches, he's got that mask on.
00:45:15Nobody has ever seen a face.
00:45:17It has been the source of a great deal of speculation.
00:45:19What is exactly in that mask as Nash takes the player over with a hard clothesline and
00:45:24catches Orton coming in, the reverse elbow.
00:45:26And now Nash again imposing his physical will on Randy Orton.
00:45:31And Nash makes the tag to Shawn Michaels.
00:45:34And Shawn, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:45:35Shawn Michaels.
00:45:36Over the top of that crossbody, taking down Orton and Flair.
00:45:40What a collision.
00:45:41Look at the carnage on the outside.
00:45:43And this match will continue when we come back live.
00:45:48Right hands and right hands.
00:45:50Shawn Michaels dominating Ric Flair during this commercial break.
00:45:53We are back live in Madison Square Garden.
00:45:55Jim Ross and Jerry the King Lawler.
00:45:5715,451 is sold out in the Garden.
00:45:59A tag team matchup in progress.
00:46:01And a hell of a match.
00:46:02Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash meeting Evolutions.
00:46:05Randy Orton and Nature Boy Ric Flair.
00:46:08Boy, for somebody that said that he idolized the Nature Boy as he was growing up,
00:46:12HBK has been showing Ric Flair absolutely no respect.
00:46:16We're now in order trying to isolate Shawn Michaels.
00:46:21And they got a blind tag.
00:46:23Shawn Michaels may not be aware of it.
00:46:25What a save.
00:46:29Maybe Orton did get the blind tag.
00:46:31It was nothing but a cheap shot.
00:46:33Taking Michaels out of that pinning predicament.
00:46:36And there's the tag.
00:46:37Orton now, Randy Orton, and Shawn Michaels, the two legal men in this tag team match.
00:46:43It may have been a cheap shot, but that's one of the reasons that this kid is so good.
00:46:47This Randy Orton is so smart.
00:46:48I mean, he saved the match right there.
00:46:50What the hell would've had that thing on?
00:46:53Orton a lean, about 6'4", a hard right hand, third generation star now,
00:47:00trying to pose his will.
00:47:02On the Hall of Fame bounce, Shawn Michaels.
00:47:04And Michaels turned upside down.
00:47:06And Michaels in a great deal of trouble here tonight.
00:47:09Takedown, trying to dislocate the shoulder of Shawn Michaels is Randy Orton.
00:47:15And now Orton, that's painful, painful arm bar.
00:47:20Look at all the foot from that elbow.
00:47:23Pushing that bicep and tricep into a very uncompromised position.
00:47:28And look at Orton, that wide base.
00:47:30He has a solid leverage advantage here.
00:47:32Look at the body on that Orton.
00:47:34I mean, this guy, he's ripped, isn't he?
00:47:37He's young and he's ripped.
00:47:39And he's confident.
00:47:40And he may rip Shawn Michaels arm right out of his sock.
00:47:42And look at Big Daddy.
00:47:43Big Daddy cool Kevin Nash.
00:47:45Trying to reach for that tag, the seven footer.
00:47:48Ready to come in and fight, no doubt about it.
00:47:50Come on, Michael.
00:47:51Mr. Smash round, Kevin Nash.
00:47:54He's able to make that tag.
00:47:56Look at Nate.
00:47:56Look at Nate.
00:47:59We're the dirtiest player in the game.
00:48:02And with the help of Randy Orton, in controversy,
00:48:05defeated Shawn Michaels in bad blood.
00:48:08And again, Michaels forced back into the evolution corner.
00:48:11Where gets the tag.
00:48:13Look at now, Michaels being physically dissected by perhaps the greatest world
00:48:18champion of all time.
00:48:21Certainly the greatest that I've ever seen in person.
00:48:24What's this?
00:48:25Well, Flair, you know, he's famous for going after your leg.
00:48:27Softening you up and getting that figure four leg.
00:48:29But he can work on other parts of the body as well.
00:48:31And that's what Flair is doing right there.
00:48:34He's closing those open ribs of Michaels and those knee drops.
00:48:38He's pretty ripped himself still.
00:48:41Ripped Flair, some call him middle aged and crazy.
00:48:44I don't know about that.
00:48:45But Shawn Michaels is fighting back with everything he's got.
00:48:48Michaels hit for the ride.
00:48:49And Michaels blocks there.
00:48:51Look at the quickness of Michaels.
00:48:52And a tag name.
00:48:53There's a tag, there's a tag.
00:48:54The back slide by Michaels.
00:48:56By a tag.
00:48:56And a clean shot.
00:48:58A kick right to the abdomen by Randy Orton.
00:49:01May have broken her cape in her rib of Shawn Michaels.
00:49:03And look at this mean strength of Randy Orton totally dominating Shawn Michaels.
00:49:08I think if I didn't know better, I would think that Randy Orton actually enjoys beating up Shawn Michaels.
00:49:15Again, our fans, our votes are pouring in on our poll question tonight on WWE.com.
00:49:24Will Kane win the world title or will he be forced to unmask?
00:49:27We'd like to know your opinion.
00:49:30What kind of world heavyweight champion would Kane make?
00:49:34Maybe if it's a bit red in the scene.
00:49:36How are we gonna have a masked guy, a masked freak, a fried freak like Kane,
00:49:41being our world heavyweight champion?
00:49:43You think he'd be invited on TV shows like Regis?
00:49:46You're gonna be on Regis, are you?
00:49:47I'm gonna be on Regis Friday morning, but I'll tell you what, Kane,
00:49:51he's been the world champion.
00:49:53He beat Stone Cold in 98 in the first blood match.
00:49:57Some dark days for the WWE Fastball.
00:50:01Matt was exposed off those ropes with a crossbody, but Orton quickly kicks out.
00:50:06Orton's so young, so resilient.
00:50:08What a collision.
00:50:09What a collision there.
00:50:11Let's face it, Triple H, he epitomizes the world champion.
00:50:16He is invited on all the television shows.
00:50:18He's on all the talk shows.
00:50:19Look at this collision.
00:50:20Watch these heads of these two men.
00:50:23Watch this right here.
00:50:26Man, that is a bender bender.
00:50:30That's like a double knockout, isn't it?
00:50:34Two New York City Cavs going head on here.
00:50:37And both men out.
00:50:39Orton and Michaels down.
00:50:42There's a tag.
00:50:43Flair gets the tag.
00:50:44And Michaels attacks it Kevin Nash.
00:50:46Nades, what'd you do?
00:50:47I think they accidentally pushed Flair right into Nash.
00:50:50And Flair did not want to deal with Kevin Nash.
00:50:53And neither does Randy Orton.
00:50:56Slam, Nash again.
00:50:59Nash is overpowering.
00:51:02What do you expect?
00:51:03Look how big he is.
00:51:04He has seven feet, 300 pounds.
00:51:06The former University of Tennessee basketball standout with a big foot right to the face.
00:51:12A man that took place to the distance and held a cell of bad blood.
00:51:17You know what it means when the straps come down, don't you?
00:51:19And the end may be near.
00:51:22No.
00:51:24Orton's gonna go for a ride here.
00:51:26And Flair goes from behind.
00:51:29And Flair with a low throw.
00:51:31That's why he's the dirtiest player in the game.
00:51:33That was undetected by veteran referee Nick Patrick.
00:51:37And Flair's not going to admit to his misdeed there.
00:51:41That's for sure.
00:51:44And Nash with a double close line.
00:51:48Down goes Flair and Orton.
00:51:49How'd Nash come back with that?
00:51:51One, two, three.
00:51:52And Nash gotta be suffering from that low blow at the hands of Ric Flair.
00:51:56Anybody's game here in this tag team matchup.
00:51:59Come on Randy Orton.
00:52:00Suck it up boy.
00:52:03You're the future of evolution.
00:52:05Michaels gets a tag.
00:52:08Michaels and Flair the legal man.
00:52:09Flair 25 Michaels off.
00:52:11And Randy Orton tried to get involved.
00:52:12And does.
00:52:13But knocked down for his trouble.
00:52:14Knocked down again.
00:52:16Shawn Michaels building the momentum.
00:52:18The pace has quickened.
00:52:19Whoa.
00:52:19With HBK in the ring offensively.
00:52:22Wharton sent for the ride.
00:52:24Whoa.
00:52:24Look at that.
00:52:25Body drop on Randy Orton.
00:52:27Uh-oh.
00:52:27I think we're about to, we're about to hear some sweet chin music.
00:52:31Somebody's gonna feel it.
00:52:32This is not the New York Symphony.
00:52:35What a move by Nature.
00:52:37Blair blocks sweet kid music.
00:52:39Orton took a ride and played a thumb to the eye.
00:52:42A thumb to the eye by the Nature Boy.
00:52:44Sending Michaels on the ride.
00:52:46And what a forearm.
00:52:47And a nip-up by Shawn Michaels.
00:52:48No, no, no, no.
00:52:49The Showstopper now.
00:52:52Scoop slamming Ric Flair down.
00:52:54And Michaels, the original Daredevil, the original risk taker.
00:53:00The Showstopper.
00:53:02Well, Randy Orton was about to save the day, but Nash knocked him out of the elbow.
00:53:07Right to the heart of the dirtiest player in the game.
00:53:10Yeah, look at the Showboat.
00:53:11He's not the Showstopper, he's the Showboat.
00:53:15And now when we tune up.
00:53:19Knuckles getting this sold out, brought into it.
00:53:21Knuckles.
00:53:23Knuckles.
00:53:23Knuckles is an-
00:53:24Knuckles.
00:53:26Knuckles.
00:53:27From Knuckles to the promised land.
00:53:30Shawn Michaels avenges Matt Blood against the Nature Boy.
00:53:35Shawn Michaels and Kevin Mack.
00:53:43Man, what a tag team match.
00:53:46Certainly could have gone either way, but the teamwork of Nash and HDK overcoming the odds here tonight.
00:53:54Bam!
00:53:55Right on it, Shawn.
00:53:57Nothing sweet about that.
00:53:58Not about Claire, right on the beat.
00:54:01And Evolution, this could be an omen for Evolution tonight.
00:54:07Because tonight, the leader of Evolution, Triple H, defends the world title against Kane.
00:54:12Kane must win it, or Kane must unmask.
00:54:15They see me walk.
00:54:17They hear me talk.
00:54:19I make them feel like they're all about now.
00:54:26It's time to play the game.
00:54:45We are back live in Madison Square Garden.
00:54:49This is the main event.
00:54:5115,451 has sold out to the world's most famous arena, the home of WrestleMania 20.
00:55:03And it is for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:55:07Introducing first, being accompanied by Ric Flair, from Greenwich, Connecticut.
00:55:12Weighing in at 265 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H.
00:55:20You know, King, as bright as the cerebral assassin, Triple H is.
00:55:24He's the best in the business.
00:55:26He's the heavyweight champion of the world.
00:55:28You gotta agree, he's got somewhat of an advantage here, with Ric Flair at ringside.
00:55:35Oh, yeah.
00:55:36The dirtiest player in the game, Nate, in your corner?
00:55:40Gotta help.
00:55:41Gotta help big time.
00:55:516'4", 260.
00:55:536'4", 260.
00:55:54In awesome shape, but you gotta wonder, folks.
00:55:57It's just been eight days since Triple H survived Hell in a Cell with a smash-mouth Kevin Nash.
00:56:06Well, we said that Triple H had an advantage because of Nate being in his corner, but he could be
00:56:13at a disadvantage because of what is riding on this mat as far as Kane is concerned.
00:56:19I mean, let's face it.
00:56:21You know, most of the time, the Challenger has every seat.
00:56:24Whoa!
00:56:24Oh, my gosh!
00:56:26Speaking of the devil!
00:56:27The Challenger weighing in at 320 pounds, Kane!
00:56:32I was gonna say, most of the time, the Challenger has everything to win and nothing to lose, but that's
00:56:37not the case with Kane tonight, is it, JR?
00:56:39Kane must become the world's heavyweight champion, or he must unmask.
00:56:44And here we go.
00:56:45One fall to the finish.
00:56:46There must be a winner here.
00:56:48And Kane is so physically strong, so dominating.
00:56:52How can Triple H slow down this big red machine?
00:56:56And if we're gonna see full stage down fire and brimstone, this is gonna be one night that Triple H
00:57:03may never forget as long as he lives.
00:57:06Well, Triple H has never faced a Challenger that has the incentive that Kane has here tonight.
00:57:10No doubt about that.
00:57:12I don't know if I've ever seen a Challenger with as much on the line as Kane has tonight.
00:57:16And Kane with all that strength, all that power, it's gotta be intimidating, painfully intimidating.
00:57:26Kane has gotta be, I mean, you know, we saw, we know what kind of mood he's in.
00:57:29We've seen it all night long.
00:57:31He broke that mirror.
00:57:32I hope that does seven years of bad luck for him.
00:57:35But, you know, he's gotta be careful here.
00:57:36You can't go in there just all hellfire and brimstone and burn yourself out.
00:57:40Not against the game.
00:57:41Watch it, Nate.
00:57:42It's gotta be an emotional night for Kane.
00:57:44He's gotta keep his eye on Triple H and not be distracted by Ric Flair.
00:57:48Hard right hand by the big red machine.
00:57:50What we see.
00:57:51My God.
00:57:53And what impact.
00:57:55What a nasty collision that was.
00:57:58Triple H unhinging the steel steps at ringside and the world's heavyweight champion being
00:58:04physically dominated here in the early going by the Challenger.
00:58:09We heard Ric Flair say earlier when he told Randy Orton earlier that there were two agendas tonight.
00:58:14They had to beat Nash and HBK and they had to make sure that Triple H left.
00:58:19Well, here's the world champion.
00:58:21They failed on their first agenda.
00:58:23Will they fail on their second?
00:58:25Kane and Triple H on the outside in the front row of our fans here at McGarden in New York
00:58:30City.
00:58:30Hard right hand by the seven foot, 325 pound Kane.
00:58:35And referee Earl Hemmer certainly knowing the importance of what's at stake here.
00:58:41Not exercising his count on the outside.
00:58:44Ric Flair now.
00:58:46There's a reason.
00:58:47Triple H just used that steel chair on Kane.
00:58:51The referee distracted by Flair.
00:58:52And finally Triple H has been able to slow Kane down.
00:58:56Will Kane be able to regroup?
00:58:58The big red machine has been hit in the face with a steel chair.
00:59:02The title's on the line.
00:59:04And our last break is now, and we'll be right back.
00:59:08We are back live here in Madison Square Garden.
00:59:11The world's heavyweight championship on the line.
00:59:13The challenger Kane must win the world title tonight or
00:59:16he will unmask here live tonight.
00:59:18Anderson Spinebuster by Triple H that is finally slowing down this hellbent.
00:59:26Hellfire and brimstone Kane.
00:59:30And Kane sets up.
00:59:31Boy, that's gotta be unnerving to Triple H.
00:59:35Very unnerving, I would assume.
00:59:37And a hard right hand by the champion.
00:59:39Well, a couple of times during that commercial break, Kane came within an eyelash of becoming
00:59:44the new world champion.
00:59:45What would Kane be like as a world champion, JR?
00:59:47I think he'd be a great world champion.
00:59:50Why wouldn't he be?
00:59:51He's been there before.
00:59:53One time in his career.
00:59:55Hard right hand.
00:59:56Triple H cannot win this match.
00:59:58It returns into a street fight against this seven foot, 325 pound monster.
01:00:03The game has gotta get Kane off his feet and that does it.
01:00:07What a DDT by the world's champion.
01:00:10I don't have to ask you what Kane's gonna be like as a world champion.
01:00:13I'm gonna, I was gonna ask you what Kane's face is gonna look like.
01:00:17DDT and Kane gets right back up.
01:00:19Triple H reaching back.
01:00:21Tries to execute that neckbreaker, takes Kane down.
01:00:24But by golly, he's trapped back up.
01:00:26What is it gonna take?
01:00:27That's a quick, that must be what the champion's thinking.
01:00:29What's it gonna take to put Kane down?
01:00:32Or can Kane be put down on this night?
01:00:34We know what's at stake.
01:00:36We know where we are.
01:00:38We're in Madison Square Garden.
01:00:39We know what the prize is.
01:00:41Look at this.
01:00:41The world's heavyweight championship.
01:00:43He's asking for Triple H's best shot.
01:00:45Triple H is gonna oblige him.
01:00:46Triple H with the best right hands he can muster, but to no avail.
01:00:50And Kane now overpowering the awesome heavyweight champion of the world.
01:00:54Right hands, uppercuts, body shots, Kane in control,
01:00:59with the world's title in his crosshair.
01:01:01Go.
01:01:02More close line, nowhere to go for Triple H with the other side.
01:01:07More power, more power, more strength and passion by Kane.
01:01:11One arm, a scoop slam, power slam.
01:01:14The hook of the leg, this might be it.
01:01:16We go!
01:01:17How close, how close, how close ref.
01:01:19Thussing a half a count away from crowning a new world's heavyweight champion.
01:01:24What do you wanna see, JR?
01:01:26You wanna see Kane as the new world's heavyweight champion or do you wanna see his face?
01:01:29That face that he's guarded and protected for his entire life basically.
01:01:34He deserves to be a world's champion, but my curiosity I'm sure is no different
01:01:39than anybody else as I've wondered for six or seven years what's under that man.
01:01:45Is he hideously ugly?
01:01:46You know what, maybe he's like me, maybe he's just unbelievably handsome.
01:01:50Kane going up top, Kane, the big red missile.
01:01:54And finds his mark, puts down the champion, and that glancing blow on the referee as well.
01:02:02He's all right, he's all right.
01:02:04No!
01:02:05He's not now!
01:02:06Kane aiming for the game, but got the referee, and down goes Triple H,
01:02:11but our senior referee Earl Hedner has been knocked down.
01:02:15What happens if he disqualifies Kane?
01:02:16He's got the world heavyweight title belt, but not for long, knocked down.
01:02:23They're scooting to the outside for some safety.
01:02:27Wait a minute.
01:02:27Wait a minute.
01:02:27Kane has got the championship belt.
01:02:30Kane's got that heavy world heavyweight title belt, and that's out hand, the champion.
01:02:34Bam!
01:02:35My God, what a shot!
01:02:37What a shot, that one!
01:02:39That's gotta be a disqualification.
01:02:40Kane getting rid of the elbow as the referee didn't see it.
01:02:42There's a count, one, two, three.
01:02:47Wait a minute.
01:02:48It's gonna be over.
01:02:50It's over.
01:02:51It's over.
01:02:52It's over.
01:02:52It's over.
01:02:53My God, that was close.
01:02:56Kane had the champion now.
01:02:58I guarantee you ten seconds.
01:03:00Wait a minute.
01:03:01What is he doing here?
01:03:02Look out.
01:03:03Kane.
01:03:05Kane can be so animalistic.
01:03:09He just threw the second referee on the top rope.
01:03:12The referee has signed this match.
01:03:14Earl Hedmer still trying to get his faculties back about him.
01:03:18Uh-oh.
01:03:19And that long blow out of desperation by the world's heavyweight champion.
01:03:24And Triple X going for the pedigree.
01:03:26Look at that.
01:03:27And the pedigree.
01:03:27We're gonna see that face.
01:03:29The long blow.
01:03:30The pedigree.
01:03:32The hook of the leg.
01:03:33The referee's down.
01:03:35Get up, Hedmer.
01:03:35Hedmer's gonna count.
01:03:37It's gonna be over.
01:03:38It's gonna be.
01:03:39No, no.
01:03:41Kane lives.
01:03:42What?
01:03:43The Big Red Machine is alive.
01:03:45I cannot believe this.
01:03:47And the World's Heavyweight Championship is hanging in the balance here at Madison Square Garden.
01:03:53You may be right.
01:03:54Kane may be unbeatable on this night, JR, in this arena.
01:03:58And Triple X going again.
01:04:01We're gonna pedigree.
01:04:02No.
01:04:02But Kane blocks it.
01:04:05Can Kane be stopped?
01:04:07Look at that.
01:04:08Look at that.
01:04:08The player.
01:04:10And a touch slam on the Nature Boy.
01:04:16Triple X again.
01:04:18My God.
01:04:19Look for another category.
01:04:21And again Kane towers out.
01:04:23It's not to be.
01:04:25This is not gonna be the game's.
01:04:27No.
01:04:28Not in the player.
01:04:29What a collision.
01:04:32The game in the Nature Boy providing a touch slam.
01:04:36Can you feel it?
01:04:37I do feel it.
01:04:38Can you sense it?
01:04:39Triple X is about to feel it.
01:04:40Can you see it?
01:04:42Here it comes.
01:04:43Here it comes.
01:04:48Another long goal.
01:04:50And Randy Ortega Kane face first down.
01:04:54Gordon shoving the referee to the middle of the ring.
01:04:57The referee didn't see Orton's interference.
01:05:00Kane almost out on his feet.
01:05:04That'll have a pedigree.
01:05:06Another pedigree.
01:05:07He's out on his back.
01:05:08After Randy Orton's interference.
01:05:10Now kick out.
01:05:11My God.
01:05:14The game wins it.
01:05:16Here is your winner, and still, the World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H.
01:05:22It took the entire group of evolution to keep the World Heavyweight title around the waist of Triple H.
01:05:32But more importantly, are we gonna see it now, JR?
01:05:36Is the world gonna witness?
01:05:38What?
01:05:40What?
01:05:42Well, there's a co-general manager of Raw, Eric Bischoff.
01:05:47Eric Bischoff?
01:05:48Kane, you know the stipulations, and you gave your word.
01:05:55Now take that mask off.
01:05:59He didn't even give Kane any time to recover.
01:06:01The guy barely, he's not even on his feet yet.
01:06:05But I think we're about to see it, JR.
01:06:07Kane agreed.
01:06:08I don't know if we're gonna see it or not.
01:06:11I don't know if I wanna see it or not, quite honestly.
01:06:14I do wanna see it.
01:06:15This may be one of the things that you need to look at through a pinhole in a box or
01:06:18something.
01:06:18You may wanna put the kids to bed.
01:06:20I'll tell you, this is-
01:06:22He's gonna do it.
01:06:23This is it.
01:06:27What?
01:06:28Triple H, what the hell is Triple H and Orton and Flair?
01:06:32Evolution now.
01:06:33He's talking with the hell out of Kane.
01:06:34And just screwing the man out of the championship.
01:06:38You know what, I think, I think they wanna do the honors.
01:06:42I think they wanna unvast Kane.
01:06:44They will.
01:06:45And wait a minute, there's Rob Van Dam, Kane's former tag team partner.
01:06:50He just cracked the game.
01:06:51My God.
01:06:51He just let Orton.
01:06:52Van Dam, step forward.
01:06:56Catching Randy Orton right in the face.
01:07:00Rob Van Dam coming to Kane's aid.
01:07:03And Orton's gonna take for a tongue slam all the way to hell for Randy Orton by Kane.
01:07:09Wait a minute.
01:07:09And look at Van Dam, no gun.
01:07:11No way.
01:07:11And Van Dam, five star, turning in midair.
01:07:21What's Kane gonna do?
01:07:25Boy, he's gonna unmask, that's what he's gonna do, that's what he better do.
01:07:29What must he be thinking right now?
01:07:31He's gotta do the right thing.
01:07:37Kane came so close in becoming the world's heavyweight champion.
01:07:44He's gonna do it, JR, he's gonna do it.
01:07:46He's not gonna do it.
01:07:47Do it.
01:07:54He has no alternative, he has to do it.
01:08:01What is it gonna be like?
01:08:02What is it gonna look like?
01:08:05Come on, do it, Kane, do it.
01:08:08I mean, I don't know if we wanna see that.
01:08:09Yeah, yeah, I do wanna see it.
01:08:10We've never, we've always speculated.
01:08:12Here it comes.
01:08:19What the hell is this?
01:08:22His hair came out.
01:08:24My God.
01:08:26Wait, no, no.
01:08:29Van Damme came to Hell Kane.
01:08:31What the hell?
01:08:33What the hell is that?
01:08:35Get a shot of that face.
01:08:37Is that a human?
01:08:40My God.
01:08:42My God.
01:08:47My God.
01:08:49My God, Van Damme's been destroyed.
01:08:52Look at this.
01:08:53Look at that grotesque face.
01:08:56My God.
01:08:57No.
01:08:57My God.
01:09:00Well, here you see the unified tag team champion, Big Show, Chris Jericho, set for this history-making match.
01:09:06Triple Threat tag team match live on Raw.
01:09:08We'll see you next.
01:09:10Re-go.
01:09:10Break it down.
01:09:17The German Cup, in the world, we'll see the final we can, we'll see the next.
01:09:38It doesn't matter who wins the championship from John Cena, as long.
01:09:45Wow, as long as that title comes back to D-Generation X.
01:09:50Well, Madison Square Garden awash in DX3.
01:09:54The DX Army ready to mobilize heading into the Survivor Series.
01:09:59And it's electric here tonight, 20,538 WWE fans.
01:10:25The WWE fans are on their feet.
01:10:36Ladies and gentlemen, you are watching the long,
01:10:38longest running, weekly episodic television show in history.
01:10:42This is Monday Night Raw.
01:10:45And we are live at the Garden in New York.
01:10:49And there are the three members for the Triple Threat Match for the WWE title,
01:10:54Sunday in Survivor Series, DX and John Cena.
01:11:02Look at this place.
01:11:04So much history has been made.
01:11:07Cole, I can tell you I've been coming here since I was a little kid.
01:11:10Never before has it been like this.
01:11:12íV Muy Men.

01:12:44CHOIR SINGS
01:12:45And his taxi partner from Death Valley, weighing 299 pounds,
01:12:51he is the World Heavyweight Champion,
01:12:56the Undertaker!
01:12:59Take care!
01:13:38For the first time in almost a year, The Undertaker is in action, live on Monday Night Raw.
01:13:51The only way to describe it in my mind is goosebumps.
01:13:59And the faces on our superstars, including D-Generation X, Jericho Big Show, and John Cena,
01:14:06show the tremendous respect that the world champion, The Undertaker, has garnered over the years.
01:14:23So Matt, let's get down to business now.
01:14:25This is a Triple Threat Tag Team Match-Up, and here are the rules.
01:14:28Three men will start in the ring. You can only tag your tag team partner.
01:14:32Standard Triple Threat rules apply. The first man to gain pinfall or submission will win this match for his team.
01:14:42A lot of interesting, interweaving stories, conflicts here.
01:14:49But you have to believe that John Cena and The Undertaker are the only two men that can trust each
01:14:55other here in this match tonight.
01:14:57Cena, Michaels, Jericho start things on in this Triple Threat Match-Up.
01:15:00And there's Shawn Michaels, Cena, they meet in Survivor Series, of course.
01:15:03Cena, Jericho, and Jericho Michaels with long histories.
01:15:06And here comes the world's largest athlete, The Big Show.
01:15:15And here comes the 13-time world champion Triple H.
01:15:22And here comes The Undertaker.
01:15:25The once-in-a-lifetime superstar, the world's heavyweight champion, The Undertaker.
01:15:33This is the first part.
01:15:37First time ever, and that is the scorecard that we've seen a Triple Threat Tag Team Match.
01:15:42And things do not look good for The Big Show.
01:15:47Yeah.
01:15:48Boom!
01:15:49Undertaker, Triple H, unloading.
01:15:51On the seven-foot near 500-pounder.
01:15:59Big Show, filling the knee, and there goes the big man.
01:16:04And now, Undertaker.
01:16:07Sorta like Sunday, it's really every man for himself, or every team for themselves,
01:16:11I should say, in this match here tonight.
01:16:13Undertaker, the world champion, who faces Jericho and Big Show Sunday,
01:16:17unloading on Triple H.
01:16:19Bring up a good point.
01:16:21Will DX be on the same page come this Sunday?
01:16:24Well, they claim they will be.
01:16:25Cena says no, and that's Vintage Triple H with a spinebuster.
01:16:33Tag is made.
01:16:47For the first time since the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
01:16:51Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.
01:16:53In the ring, one-on-one.
01:16:54Look at this.
01:16:57Perhaps two of the greatest of all time squaring off.
01:17:02And look at Michaels.
01:17:03And ladies and gentlemen, Classic Michaels.
01:17:06And Undertaker.
01:17:07Classic Undertaker.
01:17:11And I don't think either one of these men will realize that was fair.
01:17:16Well, it went for Sweet Chip Music and Big Show just clobbered Michaels.
01:17:22And here comes Chris Jericho.
01:17:23And this is where Jericho and the Big Show is so dangerous.
01:17:26When the match begins to become part of their ebb and flow,
01:17:30this is where Jericho takes over.
01:17:31Yeah, but on Sunday, they're not gonna be a team, Matt.
01:17:34It's all about the world title.
01:17:35It's every man for himself.
01:17:37Will Jericho and Big Show implode Sunday?
01:17:45That puts extreme pressure on the lower back.
01:17:50This will put extreme pressure on the neck.
01:17:52And look at, John Cena just tagged himself in.
01:17:54John Cena tagging himself in as he hammers away on Chris Jericho.
01:17:59And John Cena running Bulldog.
01:18:06And Triple H shit off the tag.
01:18:08Again, DX working together tonight as a team.
01:18:12Unsure whether or not that will happen Sunday.
01:18:15John Cena.
01:18:18Side slam.
01:18:21Hey, this is reminiscent of the Royal Rumble a couple of years ago.
01:18:24In this very building.
01:18:25And John Cena, the Triple H.
01:18:29Look at the attitude of the champion John Cena.
01:18:31Tonight Cena won the Rumble.
01:18:33And his return.
01:18:37And Big Show, double chokeslam.
01:18:45And Undertaker, who's had so many battles with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mankind,
01:18:50and his brother Kane in this building.
01:18:52And another one with Big Show.
01:18:59Don't forget Undertaker with a team with his brother Kane on SmackDown this coming Friday night against
01:19:04Chris Jericho and the Big Show.
01:19:06That's gonna be extremely special.
01:19:13Did you hear that?
01:19:16This is very important.
01:19:17It gives the Big Show an inside look into the Undertaker's tendencies.
01:19:22Jericho, Jericho cover.
01:19:23Hicks the leg, I'm seeing it.
01:19:24Get a kick out.
01:19:26Need a square card out here, but I do believe the three in the ring are legal.
01:19:32Well, that's the award of the Triple Threat is that you can essentially steal a victory at any time.
01:19:36You can pin anyone at any time.
01:19:38Right place at the right time.
01:19:39You saw it here on Raw a couple of weeks ago.
01:19:41Big Show knocked out Cena with the right hand.
01:19:43Chris Jericho with King Cena in a Triple Threat to pick up the win.
01:19:46I gotta tell you, if this is any insight, then personally can't wait for the Survivor Show.
01:19:50Here's up, Shawn Michaels.
01:19:51What a personal rivalry these two men have had in the past.
01:19:55Shawn Michaels flying through the air there.
01:19:57How many times has Shawn done that in the garden?
01:20:02I know what a lot of people would like to see Shawn do.
01:20:06First ever Ladder match.
01:20:07Shawn Michaels putting on a show right here in New York.
01:20:14And there is Vintage Michaels.
01:20:16Drops the elbow to the heart.
01:20:18Shawn Michaels thrives in the spotlight.
01:20:20Shawn Michaels leaps for this.
01:20:21This is what the people want right now.
01:20:23Sweet chin music.
01:20:26Went for Cena, who ducked under.
01:20:28And now the first man to gain pinfall submission.
01:20:30It's for his team.
01:20:31Doesn't matter which of the other two men you pin in there.
01:20:34Look at the speed and power of the WWE Champion.
01:20:45John Cena won his first singles title ever right here in the garden.
01:20:48And his very first WrestleMania in the garden.
01:20:50And look at this.
01:20:52Triple H tagged in.
01:20:53I don't believe Cena realized it.
01:20:55Now he does.
01:20:56Well, there are many crowns, but only one came the game.
01:21:00Triple H.
01:21:00Oh, hi, baby.
01:21:03Right in the head.
01:21:05And Triple H looks to do this Sunday against Cena for the WWE title.
01:21:11Triple H had arguably his greatest moment in this buster.
01:21:17It's gonna be like this Sunday at Survivor Series.
01:21:20Non-stop action.
01:21:21Pinfall or submission, only way to end the match.
01:21:24With the WWE and world titles on the line.
01:21:27Look at Shawn.
01:21:28Look at Shawn.
01:21:29Look at Shawn.
01:21:30Sweet chin music.
01:21:32Right place, right time.
01:21:35Cold.
01:21:36Cold breaker.
01:21:37Right place, right time, Cole.
01:21:50And there goes Undertaker.
01:21:52John Cena from behind.
01:21:54Triple H, Divasov coming up on the shoulders.
01:21:57Attitude adjustment.
01:21:58Cena, cover, hooks the leg.
01:22:00He did it.
01:22:01John Cena and The Undertaker wins.
01:22:05The Undertaker, The Undertaker, and Shawn.
01:22:11Look at this.
01:22:17Undertaker, Tombstone title driver.
01:22:20Another Madison Square Garden moment.
01:22:25A message of domination from the world's heavyweight champion?
01:22:29Sunday at Survivor Series, Undertaker defends that world title against
01:22:33Chris Jericho and Big Show in a triple threat match.
01:22:35Truly, every man for himself.
01:22:38And you have to wonder what that tombstone pile driver is going to do to
01:22:41John Cena's chances to retain the WWE title against Degeneration X Sunday.
01:22:51But what an historic night.
01:22:54What an electric evening at the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.
01:23:01Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for joining us live on Monday Night Raw.
01:23:08Good night from New York.
01:23:09Probably, nào!
01:23:13Sitting in a này.
