00:04No chance, that's what you've got.
00:10Walk against a machine too strong.
00:14Ladies and gentlemen, the Hold On contest scheduled for
00:18one fall is a no holds barred match for the World Wrestling Animation Championship.
00:26Introducing first, the Special Referee.
00:30He is the acting chairman of the World Wrestling Federation, Shane McFenn.
00:38What's the matter with Finkel, acting chairman?
00:40He's the owner.
00:43He is the heir apparent, and apparently he has heirs.
00:51Got his nose in the air right now, huh?
00:53Look at that.
00:54Come on, come on, come on.
00:56No holds barred, thanks to the referee, Shane McMahon.
01:00We heard that earlier tonight on Heat.
01:04You smell what The Rock is doing.
01:21Go!
01:23Go!
01:23Go!
01:31Go!
01:49Go!
01:51Go!
01:53Go!
01:53Go!
01:53Go!
01:54Go!
01:54Get him sideways.
01:54That's stupid.
01:55What?
01:56What a good job, Mike.
01:58Trying to work right on the rally.
02:01Okay, let me just ask you this.
02:03So you think in a matchup like this, of this magnitude, somebody like Stone Cold
02:07Steve Austin should be going around slapping the referee?
02:10No, I'm not advocating that the referees don't normally hit people with shovels.
02:15Challengers don't normally throw people off bridges and
02:18that's what we've seen the last two weeks.
02:20How is Austin gonna, how's he gonna control himself?
02:23How's he not going to take his venom out on Shane McMahon?
02:27And if that happens, we got a new champion.
02:30And what brought me, what would be a proud way to win the belt?
02:33Yes.
02:33Yes.
02:36As long as it's off Austin, it doesn't matter, does it, King?
02:39Well, I think that's the point of view of the corporation.
02:41I think you're right.
02:43This is very personal, this whole situation.
02:48You hear me?
02:49Wait till he gets the ring, then put this in my office.
02:52Yes, sir.
02:52Okay?
02:53Yes, sir.
02:54Let me see.
03:09From Victoria, Texas, beat 252 pounds, the World Wrestling Federation champion,
03:18Stone Cold Steve Austin.
03:22Here comes the round, and here we go, WWE title on the line.
03:29Remember, no holds barred.
03:31Shane, there must be a winner in this matchup.
03:35Look out, Shane, watch it.
03:41Right hand by the rock, Shane McMahon already asserting himself in this match.
03:47He just tried to restore a little order.
03:49Well, he made it no holds barred.
03:51Where are they going with that Smokin' Skull Belt?
03:54Shane said he's gonna take it to his office.
03:57What for?
03:58I have no idea.
04:00Look back, Chris.
04:03Piston light, right hand from the Rattlesnake.
04:07And a right finger and a left finger.
04:09No, no.
04:13There's a cover.
04:13And Shane McMahon down there in good position, which I'm kind of surprised to
04:18say, got a one count.
04:19What do you mean surprised?
04:21Man.
04:22Swinging neck breaker by the rock, Austin lowered his head, and
04:25the Rattlesnake paid a price.
04:28The WWE title is on the line here.
04:31And you heard Shane McMahon, don't sound surprised when you see Shane McMahon
04:36counting when the Rock's shoulders are covered, because he swore on his
04:41grandfather's name that he would referee this thing right down the middle.
04:45Well, I hope that is true.
04:49Austin fighting back out of the corner, hard right hand.
04:52That first right hand really connected- Look at that.
04:55On the Rock.
04:56Ha-ha.
04:57And then Austin tossed over the top rope.
05:00Ha-ha.
05:00Look at the Rock.
05:03Next time you wave at him, Rock, use all your fingers.
05:06Ha-ha.
05:08Oh, boy.
05:09Rock just ran through Austin the clothesline.
05:12The WWF champion knocked down.
05:15Oh, my God.
05:17Oh, my God.
05:18Oh, my God.
05:19And the electrifying challenger.
05:22At 26 years of age, The Rock already a three-time WWF champion.
05:28That is unprecedented.
05:29Right.
05:30In this business.
05:31In The Rock.
05:32Ooh.
05:34Austin getting introduced to that security railing, and it's solid steel.
05:39What is this, though?
05:40Fire extinguisher caught Austin right in the head.
05:45And he goes, no holds barred.
05:49This match was not no holds barred until early tonight on Heat.
05:57And the young head honcho, Shane McMahon deemed it so.
06:01I think that was a great move.
06:03It makes it more exciting, JR.
06:04It's more wide open.
06:05It's fan-friendly.
06:07They love this kind of match.
06:08Austin catching The Rock coming in.
06:11And now The Rock reverses Austin down into that.
06:16My gosh, it's a whole set toppling down, that steel look.
06:22And that fence, that cyclone fence.
06:25Watch yourself, Rock.
06:26Don't get in there.
06:26You might get hurt.
06:29Look at this.
06:32Austin knocked over.
06:33That's all steel there, folks.
06:36Yeah, but he's a rattlesnake, JR.
06:38Get him, Rock.
06:39Rock on the right hands.
06:40Watch this.
06:41Watch the reverse on the left side of your screen.
06:46That chain-link fence there didn't have a lot of respect
06:50for the rattlesnake on that exchange.
06:53And this capacity crowd chanting for Austin.
06:57Every one of them are on their feet.
06:59Look at that.
06:59Watch out, Shane.
07:01If he hits you, disqualify him.
07:04It was two weeks ago that The Rock threw Austin off a bridge
07:07in Detroit, Michigan.
07:09Oh, no!
07:10Oh, my God!
07:11What a suplex!
07:12Oh, no!
07:13Right on the floor.
07:16No mats out there for protection.
07:22Shane can get back in the ring.
07:23Shane McMahon wanted no hoes barred, and by God,
07:27he's going to get no hoes barred.
07:30I don't think this is what he meant.
07:31Look out!
07:33I don't think this is what he meant.
07:39Look out!
07:40Oh, no!
07:43This time The Rock feels what it's like.
07:48Uh-oh.
07:51Austin has heavy invocations.
07:59And he found his mark two.
08:04Somebody get hurt badly, badly, badly out here.
08:07Look, I think Austin banged his own head on that chain link fence.
08:13Look at this.
08:14Watch this.
08:15All right.
08:16And the walls of Jericho go tumbling down.
08:23Uh-oh.
08:24Austin with some sort of cable there.
08:27Shane, where are you?
08:27Look at that.
08:28You can't let this happen.
08:30Shane made a no hoes barred.
08:33Where is Shane?
08:33It was his bright idea.
08:38And remember, if Austin gets disqualified, he will lose the title.
08:45No.
08:46And The Rock, the crown jewel of the corporation.
08:50Watching his electric stuff back there.
08:52Is getting decimated.
08:55This is not a wrestling match.
08:57This is nothing more than a Saturday night or a Sunday night fist fight.
09:08This may be a normal Saturday night in Victoria, Texas.
09:14But we are live in Providence, Rhode Island.
09:17And it wouldn't be this way in Miami in Rock hometown either.
09:21Yeah, there's no violence in Miami.
09:23Uh-oh.
09:23Watch out!
09:24Drunk driver!
09:25Oh, no!
09:26Right in Rock's hand.
09:28Austin just ran over The Rock with that anvil case.
09:34Oh, no, look at that.
09:36Yes!
09:37The Rock caught Austin coming off that case and buried the right hand deep in the midsection,
09:42deep in the heart of Texas.
09:44I think Shane should have disqualified Austin for that total lack of respect that Austin just
09:49showed.
09:51Yes!
09:52Yes!
09:54Austin, Austin smacking that.
09:57Here comes Excedrin headache.
09:59Oh!
09:59Did you hear that?
10:00The Rock's hand is strapped against that case.
10:05And now the Abramah Bull has backed up.
10:08He's snorting.
10:10He's ready to put a horn where the sun don't shine.
10:17And if you're wondering why they're not in the ring, it's because of the man in the striped shirt.
10:22One, two, three.
10:23He's made the rules.
10:24No holes barred.
10:26And a close line.
10:27Knocked down Austin right on the concrete.
10:29He went boom into our boom camera operator there.
10:35And now The Rock choking Austin.
10:39The challenger of the WWF champion.
10:42You gotta admit, so far Shane has shown no favoritism.
10:47No, not too much.
10:50I'm happy to say that.
10:52Let's hope he keeps it up.
10:54Where are they going now?
10:55Austin barely able to stand.
10:57He's hurting.
10:59Rattlesnake.
10:59What?
11:00He has it.
11:01Oh my!
11:05Man, you talk about a shot that took your head off.
11:13Austin is spewing venom.
11:15He can't do that!
11:16And he slams the challenger.
11:18You see the perspiration from The Rock's body right on the concrete floor.
11:26Austin may have broken his hand.
11:29He's taking that left hand.
11:32Do you think he cares right now?
11:35Look at Austin.
11:35He wants help.
11:36He's gonna let the fans get some cheap shots in.
11:40Headed back this way.
11:43Austin and The Rock for the WWF title.
11:46This is backlight.
11:47This is the return match from the two men record setting WrestleMania.
11:52Just a month ago.
12:02Come on, Rock.
12:07Austin got out of that knee brace.
12:09Talk about some impact.
12:12There's some punishment now, Austin stomping away at The Rock.
12:15Who's in a helpless state here.
12:19Shane McMahon getting a little.
12:21Uh-oh.
12:23Shane McMahon is taunting Austin.
12:25He's baiting Austin.
12:26Go ahead, hit him.
12:27My God!
12:28Man!
12:29Leon Rock went airborne.
12:30For God's sakes, he was in a real time zone.
12:35Leon Rock!
12:36Austin with a vicious clothesline off the apron, almost beheaded the challenger.
12:44And the Brahma Bull may be a steer.
12:46Uh-oh, look out.
12:49Well, wait, I think we should warn our Spanish commentators.
12:53You may have, you may have some incoming amigos.
12:57Hasta la vista!
12:59What's he gonna do?
13:04Austin, I would suggest that you guys disappear.
13:09A low blow by The Rock.
13:12Wait a minute.
13:13No, no!
13:14My God in heaven!
13:17Austin just got The Rock bottom to the table, to the concrete.
13:23The WWE Champion is in one hell of a hell of a bad way.
13:34Shane McMahon encouraging The Rock, almost congratulating The Rock.
13:38With a high impact move on the announce table.
13:42Take another look at this.
13:43There it is, The Rock bottom.
13:44And they went all the way to the bottom one more time.
13:48So nice, we'll show it to you twice.
13:51Look at The Rock.
13:53Wait, I mean, you shut your candy ass up,
13:56for The Rock to make pinto beans out of your monkey ass.
13:59Stone cold, Rock bottom, through the table.
14:02The Rock hates you.
14:03You are a living, human, breathing piece of trash.
14:08I didn't know The Rock could speak Spanish so fluently.
14:11Yeah.
14:12Right hand by Austin.
14:14Now the WWE Champion is in a hell of a bad way.
14:19Right hand, another right hand by The Rock.
14:22He has driven Austin through that table.
14:26Austin's got a field chair.
14:27What? Shane McMahon, hey!
14:29He's through the, Shane McMahon through the chair of The Rock.
14:33But The Rattlesnake fights back.
14:35Yeah!
14:37No!
14:38My God, Austin.
14:40What power from The Rock.
14:41Austin went over the railing to the concrete floor.
14:45He's hurt.
14:46Man, he's really hurt now.
14:47And now The Rock loves Austin down again.
14:51How do these guys do it, JR?
14:53The most coveted title in this business on the line.
14:57And brother, it is in jeopardy right now.
15:00The Rock smashed him right through this table and he's still somehow able to continue.
15:09The 26-year-old challenger on a mission to regain the WWE title at a low blow.
15:20Again, no holds barred, and Shane McMahon was clapping his hands in approval of that low blow.
15:27No, I think he said, look, he's sort of getting on The Rock's case there.
15:31Shane is laying down the law to The Rock, too.
15:34Shane was telling him to get back in the ring.
15:35We got it now.
15:36We got it, Rock.
15:38Taking back the ring.
15:39We got it.
15:40Is that what he said?
15:41What are you, a lip reader now?
15:44I don't know what I can hear pretty well.
15:48Hey, look out.
15:49Come on.
15:49Watch yourself.
15:50Look at this.
15:50Look out.
15:51Come on.
15:55Now, wait a minute.
15:57Man, look at this.
15:59Rock using our nails table here as a tag team partner.
16:03Hey, Rock.
16:04Get it back in the ring.
16:05Let's end this thing.
16:06Come on.
16:06Hey, Rock.
16:07We've seen enough here.
16:08Camera to the board right there.
16:10You gotta get him in the ring.
16:11Come on.
16:12Enough's enough, damn it.
16:14What?
16:16Enough is enough.
16:17Hey, Rock.
16:18Hey, Rock.
16:19What is Rock doing?
16:19What are you doing?
16:20Give me a camera.
16:20Give me a camera.
16:21Rock come on there and a camera.
16:23He can do it all over.
16:26The Rock is using a camera.
16:28This is the Rock's cam.
16:29Let me tell you that.
16:31Stone Cold Steve Austin, the biggest piece of trailer park trash walking.
16:37Look at this.
16:38Stone Cold, you go directly to Harold, and you take that with your compliments of The Rock.
16:45Come on.
16:46Put that camera down.
16:48This is a title match.
16:50Put that camera down.
16:50Hey, Rock.
16:51Put that camera down.
16:53Hey, Rock.
16:54The stick is up.
16:55The stutter.
17:00God almighty.
17:03The carnage is ungodly.
17:07They broke him.
17:08I don't know we're on or not.
17:10Look at this.
17:12Tables and cameras.
17:14Good God almighty.
17:20I have no idea if we're on or not.
17:21I can't.
17:25Here's what The Rock was seeing apparently.
17:27What they're telling us.
17:28They're right out here.
17:33That was a stutter on the table.
17:35Which has been tore all to hell.
17:40And The Rock nailed that fan.
17:46Man, we have been through a wreck over here and it has been a wreck.
17:51This table has been tore all to hell.
17:53These athletes bodies have been tore all to hell.
17:56And the WWE title is on the line.
17:58Hello?
18:01Am I on?
18:03Am I on?
18:04They're telling you it works.
18:05I think it's working.
18:07Here we go, The Rock now.
18:09I feel like it's working.
18:13Austin going for the stutter.
18:15And The Rock shot him off.
18:17That was inadvertent.
18:18That was inadvertent.
18:20And there's The Rock bottom.
18:24The Rock bottom by The Rock.
18:27And Shane McMahon, he's not gonna disqualify Austin.
18:31He wants to throw Rock.
18:31Come on.
18:32Yes.
18:33Come on.
18:34He got it.
18:34Yes.
18:35She got a shoulder up.
18:37And the boy wonder can't believe it.
18:39What do you mean can't believe it?
18:41How fair is Shane McMahon?
18:42You saw that.
18:43I saw he put The Rock's arm on him.
18:45That's cheating.
18:46Yeah, but he could have counted to three.
18:51What's this?
18:54Shane McMahon now with that title belt.
19:00Wait a minute.
19:01There's the plan.
19:02There's the plan.
19:02What?
19:03Impartial referee.
19:04My butt.
19:07Well, he was unbiased for a while, but I guess he just took all the crap from Stone Cold
19:12he could take it.
19:13I don't blame him.
19:14Shane McMahon knocked out The Rock with the belt.
19:19Counting.
19:19One, two, three.
19:23Three.
19:23Three, damn it.
19:25Three.
19:27Shane McMahon didn't count three.
19:32He's running away.
19:34His words not worth a damn.
19:36He's studying count.
19:38Wait.
19:39Wait a minute.
19:41There's Vince.
19:43There's Vince McMahon.
19:49Vince, Vince has got the Smoking Skull belt.
19:55And he just hit his own serve.
19:59God almighty, I can't believe that.
20:02Vince McMahon just hit his tongue, Shane, but lost his belt, but got to rock his back up.
20:10The best referee Earl Hebner, we got a new, we got a new Del Dodo.
20:15My God, it was close.
20:18Vince McMahon has sent Earl Hebner in here.
20:22Vince McMahon has taken matter to his own hands.
20:26Yes.
20:26Yes.
20:27The stunner, the stunner.
20:30And the belt.
20:33Austin, Austin.
20:36Yes.
20:38Stone Cold.
20:40Stone Cold.
20:42Stone Cold.
20:46Stone Cold.
20:49I can't believe it.
20:51Vince McMahon knocked out Shane with a Smoking Skull belt.
20:56Vince McMahon sent Earl Hebner into the ring.
20:59His own son, Vince.
21:01He brought him into the world.
21:03He almost took him out.
21:04His own son.
21:04Geez, McMahon's word wasn't worth a damn.
21:10And now Vince McMahon, he presented Austin with a Smoking Skull belt.
21:19Vince tossed the belt to Austin.
21:22Vince McMahon returned Austin's property back to the rattlesnake.
21:27Vince McMahon.
21:28Oh, hell yeah.
21:35It's shot.
21:38Stone Cold Steve Austin retains the WWF title.
21:49It's shot.
21:50It's shot.
