00:30Triple H, Triple Threat, could have been an open. Could Triple H walk out of the San Chester Arena for
00:42tonight? 18,107 are here to witness. The WWF title is decided.
00:57James McMahon, earlier tonight, made this a no-holds-barred matchup. And what does that mean? Well, very simply, there
01:03can't be no this following occasion.
01:06The match must be won by a pinball. The first man to pin one of his opponents is the WWF
01:17champion.
01:20And that means it doesn't necessarily, Austin doesn't necessarily have to be pinned. Hells, they could pin the Undertaker.
01:27Wow, but I don't know what that's about to happen.
01:35And the other children are being accompanied to the reign of a five-hole bearer for the corporate ministry, weighing
01:43at 328 pounds, the Undertaker.
02:15Just a shade under seven feet tall.
02:20Over 320 pounds, a former WWF champion is the Undertaker.
02:31And are you beginning to get the picture? Or maybe what's wrong with this picture? You got the Undertaker. And
02:39alongside the Undertaker, Paul Bearer for good measure.
02:42You got Triple H. And alongside Triple H, you got China for good measure.
02:48And who you gonna have coming out here all by his lonesome?
02:52Stone Cold Steve Austin.
02:54You said it's two against one.
02:56It's more like four against one to me, JR.
02:58And remember, no holds barred means there can be no disqualifications for outside interference.
03:06The Rattlesnake has a huge bullseye on this test.
03:11Stone Cold is a marked man here at No Mercy.
03:15All thanks to Shane McMahon.
03:21The Undertaker is one of the few athletes I've ever been around that you can feel his presence when he
03:30walks into an arena.
03:31Oh, look, look.
03:38I don't think Shane McMahon probably has a preference as far as the Undertaker or Helmley are concerned, as long
03:45as Austin does not win the WWF title tonight.
03:50All right, he just wants that title in the corporate ministry.
04:27The Undertaker is one of the few athletes I've ever been around.
04:31And Austin, as Austin, right hands Helmley into submission.
04:36The Undertaker picked up the WWF title belt.
04:38I tell you, this is gonna be out of control.
04:41Whoa!
04:42Austin tried to get his hands up and blocked that title belt.
04:45He has smoked his skull belt.
04:46The Undertaker used to hit him in the face.
04:48Remember, it's no holds barred.
04:51Balls will count anywhere in the arena.
04:53There can be no disqualifications here.
04:57And Shane has done it again.
05:03It may not be a matter of if, but just when, Austin loses the title tonight.
05:08Austin's fighting for his life.
05:11Right hand to the Undertaker.
05:13Right hand to Helmley.
05:19Where are they?
05:21They're in the back there, back of the arena on that concrete.
05:24Oh, look at this.
05:25Austin showing no mercy to Helmley.
05:28Oh, and what a shot.
05:29A right hand by the Undertaker.
05:31Knocked down the WWF champion.
05:38It's essentially at least two on one here.
05:43At least the odds have never been more against Steve Austin than they are here tonight in Manchester.
05:50And when they finally dragged that rattlesnake up here to the ringside, he had two more waiting on him.
05:56Paul Bearer and China.
06:02Undertaker.
06:03Shooting one of those up.
06:04Those tables.
06:06He's choking Austin now.
06:08And that's all legal.
06:09You know what I love about David, man?
06:11He let, he let Stone Cold Steve Austin fly all the way, halfway around the world.
06:16Get all the way over here to Manchester.
06:18And then he dropped the bombshell that this was a no-holds-barred match.
06:22It's brilliant, JR.
06:24All right, right hand by Helmley.
06:26Austin is being hammered here.
06:28At will by two magnificent athletes.
06:31Triple H and the Undertaker.
06:33The WWF title is on the line.
06:35It's no-holds-barred.
06:36Remember that.
06:37No disqualifications and no count-outs.
06:42Who will survive this?
06:44Who will be the new WWF champion?
06:49With Helmley holding the rattlesnake, the Undertaker got a free shot with a huge right hand.
06:59Austin ducked.
07:01And Helmley nailed the Undertaker.
07:03Now Austin's fighting back.
07:08Well, it's right hand.
07:10The rattlesnake is striking with everything he's got.
07:18Helmley now throwing Austin in the ring.
07:20And here they are.
07:21With a WWF title mistake.
07:24It's a reversal of the whip.
07:28Oh-oh!
07:29Blue fast press!
07:31And right hand for the rattlesnake.
07:33But here comes the Undertaker.
07:35Just as Austin's trying to gain some serious momentum.
07:39Now Undertaker going for the cover.
07:40One, two, and Austin kicked out.
07:42Count, David, count!
07:45Referee count.
07:46Got a two count there.
07:48Man, this crowd now almost hushed because of what they have witnessed here thus far.
07:52What did they expect?
07:54Shane McMahon told them there was going to be no mercy.
07:56Did they expect the Undertaker and Triple H to show mercy on Austin?
08:00Forget it, forget it!
08:01All night long, Shane McMahon's prophecies have come true by hook or by crook.
08:09Undertaker choking Austin.
08:11The chokehold is as legal as a headlock here in this matchup.
08:15And the Undertaker intimidating the referee.
08:18And who wouldn't be intimidated by the Undertaker as Helmley stomped away at a helpless rattlesnake in the corner?
08:25What do we even need a referee for?
08:27No holds barred, just to count the one, two, three.
08:30That's it.
08:32Oh, and a vile elbow.
08:34I can do that.
08:34Right to the heart of the W.W.F. Champion.
08:37And one to the back of the head.
08:42Oh, Undertaker taking the right hand off.
08:44Knocks Austin off the apron.
08:46Right down to the floor.
08:49And Austin knocked on the railing into the front row and ringside.
08:54To the scene of humanity here.
08:5718,107 fans on hand here.
09:02Oh, this is going to be the 1,170.
09:04And Mike and Mike's back.
09:09Ooh, Helmley.
09:10Over the outside.
09:12Back in.
09:13Can you believe Austin is standing up and fighting with all he's got against two men?
09:18Two world-class competitors.
09:22It's just a matter of time, J.R.
09:24You may be right.
09:25Keep your coats up, though.
09:26You may be right.
09:26It may be a matter of time.
09:28But by God, I'm not ever going to give up on the rattlesnake until I see it done.
09:33Well, you got your glasses on?
09:36I got them with me.
09:37You're going to see it.
09:42Uh-oh, what's this?
09:43Right face locked by Helm.
09:44Over a suplex here on the floor?
09:47Come on.
09:48Austin trying to block it.
09:49Get him, Triple-A.
09:51A great leverage to run by Austin.
09:54Reversing the suplex.
09:56Where you been, Undertaker?
10:01Austin down.
10:02Oh, no.
10:02Helmley down.
10:04Austin trying to pile-drive her.
10:06Yeah!
10:06Oh, man.
10:08Oh, gosh.
10:09Right on the floor.
10:11Austin's back.
10:12This ladder with a sickening mud right on the concrete.
10:2218,000 Mancunians begging Austin to do something.
10:30Look at this.
10:31You call this fair?
10:32Is it a fair contest?
10:35No, I know.
10:35Oh, no, it's not.
10:36I call it no mercy, J.R.
10:38How evil and vile can Shane McMahon be in his corporate ministry?
10:46Well, you can call him evil.
10:48You can call him vile.
10:49But after tonight, I think you can call him the WWF champion, too.
10:54No doubt that Shane McMahon is obsessed in controlling the WWF title within his corporate ministry.
11:07Can you blame him?
11:09Can you blame him?
11:09Yeah.
11:09The most coveted prize in sports today.
11:13Come on.
11:16Undertaker rolling Austin in.
11:17It could be over right here.
11:19Come on.
11:20Austin kicked out.
11:23Undertaker and Helmsley are systematically and physically dissecting the rattlesnake.
11:30Oh, and Austin comes out fired.
11:33Austin reached down.
11:35He's reaching down again.
11:37Can you believe this effort?
11:40Can you believe this?
11:44Oh, oh.
11:45Undertaker cocked that arm.
11:47And brother, did he let Austin have it?
11:50I believe that.
11:52Man, on the fly, that was some serious impact from the phenom.
11:58The man from the dark side was unloaded.
12:01This is legal.
12:03The steel chair is legal.
12:04Yes.
12:05What?
12:07What is the referee doing?
12:08Is he crazy?
12:09He's trying to show a little bit of humanity.
12:12Down to Helmsley.
12:13Down to the underrated.
12:17The rattlesnake used that steel chair as a weapon.
12:26Helmsley kicked out.
12:28Austin almost had it right there.
12:30That was close.
12:31Austin's WWF title at stake here.
12:34Those steel chairs.
12:36One to Helmsley.
12:37One to the Undertaker.
12:39Bought Austin some time.
12:42Now Austin.
12:44Better try to incapacitate Helmsley.
12:48Oh, a right hand by the Undertaker.
12:51Austin walked right into that right.
12:53Just as soon as Austin gets one, the other one's right there waiting on him.
12:56Let me ask you this, J.R.
12:57Do you think that there's been any conversation between the Undertaker and Triple H as to which
13:01one gets the pin, Austin?
13:03You know, I don't know the answer to that, but my guess would be no.
13:07Other than being in the corporate ministry, I don't know that Undertaker and Austin.
13:11Uh-oh, they've been coming.
13:12One, two.
13:13I don't think the Undertaker and Helmsley have a hell of a lot in common.
13:16Much like China and Colbert.
13:18One thing they got in common is they'd both like to be the WWF champion.
13:23Well, you got a point there.
13:24And they both worked for Shane McMahon.
13:26There are two things in common.
13:27I think I mentioned that earlier, but okay.
13:30And they both like to stomp the guts out of Austin.
13:34Helmsley's kind of shot the Undertaker back.
13:36He wanted to get him some.
13:37Both of these guys hate rattlesnakes.
13:39And now, now that the Undertaker's showing a little prickly.
13:43I'm going to see more of that would hurt my feelings.
13:47Wait a minute!
13:49James!
13:50Undertaker!
13:50James!
13:52Austin now, taking advantage of his ascension.
13:56Oh, no!
13:59That's a Death Valley blow right there!
14:02Oh!
14:04Oh, pooch!
14:06Boy, Austin's a hard right hand there.
14:08And another one.
14:09Undertaker down from that low blow.
14:14And now, Helmsley again.
14:16Let her try to...
14:17What are you going to do here?
14:19Oh!
14:20Oh!
14:22Austin recoiled!
14:23And Helmsley struck the ring close.
14:37Helmsley's back!
14:37Helmsley trying to block those steel steps.
14:39I don't blame him.
14:39And wisely saw...
14:42Undertaker's back up on his feet.
14:43The Undertaker stomping off it.
14:48Oh!
14:49Oh!
14:49He doesn't...
14:49Oh!
14:50He has to...
14:51Oh!
14:54Helmsley...
14:55Now it's The Undertaker with a tremendous opportunity here, with Hemsley down, with Austin Hurst for The Undertaker to become
15:03the WWF champion again.
15:06Did you hear those shots by The Undertaker?
15:10His right hands are much akin to Lennox Lewis or Frank Bruno in his prime.
15:17Uh oh.
15:20The leg lace. We saw The Undertaker injure mankind earlier with this very maneuver in the locker room.
15:29And Hemsley retaliating with The Undertaker.
15:33What are you doing?
15:34Well The Undertaker and Hemsley having some problems here.
15:38Shane McMahon is not going to like this at all.
15:40China, Paul Bearer, what are you doing? What's going on?
15:43China, Paul Bearer right in front of us, having problems.
15:48China.
15:49This is not right. This is a big problem.
15:51China and Paul Bearer having words.
15:53What is this?
15:54Oh, good grief.
15:56Undertaker and Hemsley, I kind of like this.
16:00Austin getting a break here.
16:03Paul Bearer trying to square up with China over here.
16:09Austin stabs The Undertaker's stick.
16:11This is no good.
16:11Right on the top ring rope.
16:14Now see what we got. We got a fresh rattlesnake.
16:16Austin's going to stomp a mud hole in The Undertaker and walk it dry, as he says.
16:23Now Hemsley gets stomp of The Undertaker with the mud hole.
16:28Oh, look at it!
16:30Hemsley right out here in the front row, right side.
16:33Get on that exposed top three and four.
16:36Right back in.
16:40Man, this has been a war.
16:42An unmitigated war here.
16:45No holds barred.
16:46Oh, lone wall. That's legal, if you can believe it.
16:49Thanks to Shane McMahon's ruling earlier tonight.
16:52You just said it. No holds barred.
16:55No one can be disqualified.
16:57No one can be counted out.
17:01This match will end only when one man has been pinned.
17:05Anybody gets pinned, right?
17:07Yes, exactly.
17:09And the WWE title on the line.
17:11Wait a minute.
17:14If The Undertaker were to pin Triple H?
17:16The Undertaker?
17:17Then Stone Cold loses?
17:19You're right, King.
17:22That deductive Sherlock Holmes mind of yours.
17:25It's like a well-oiled machine.
17:29Austin looking.
17:30There'll be a chokeslam right here.
17:32Look at Hemsley.
17:33No, for the chokeslam.
17:35Put him in the end with a match.
17:37Hemsley wants to be the WWE champ.
17:39We gotta work together.
17:40Look at this.
17:44Where's Shane?
17:45Shane!
17:47Can you believe this?
17:49Now Austin and Hemsley.
17:54Showing some teamwork, yes, but not for long.
17:56It's every man for himself here.
18:00Well, I think this is the way it was probably supposed to be,
18:03but certainly not the way Shane intended it to be.
18:05Hemsley wants to be the WWE champion in the worst way.
18:09And of course, so does The Undertaker.
18:13And then Austin, somehow, the rattlesnake is able to reach down.
18:18Oh, my!
18:19A face buster.
18:21That could be all right there.
18:22Why?
18:23Oh, The Undertaker!
18:24Pulled Hemsley off of Austin!
18:26I don't get it!
18:27The get it is, The Undertaker wants to be the WWE champion.
18:31What the hell are you talking about?
18:34What the hell are you talking about?
18:36Austin locks the right.
18:38Fights back again.
18:41Undertaker is reeling here.
18:47Austin can't connect.
18:49Oh, look out!
18:50Oh, yes!
18:50No.
18:51Timstone, no.
18:54Austin downstairs.
18:55Going for the stunner.
18:58Pedigree time!
18:59Pedigree time!
19:00And Austin counter!
19:03Austin counter!
19:05Oh!
19:06The catapult!
19:08A jump slam!
19:10What?!
19:11Shane!
19:12On the cover right there!
19:14This will work!
19:16This will work!
19:16It will work!
19:17Exactly!
19:17Austin stopped the count!
19:20Whew!
19:22It's every man for himself.
19:24The first man to score pinball is the WWE champion!
19:30Is this supposed to be 2-1-1?
19:32The stunner!
19:33The stunner!
19:35Austin got the stunner!
19:36It's over!
19:37It's over!
19:38And, oh damn!
19:40Help me!
19:40Stop the count!
19:42Now, maybe he's back to thinking straight!
19:44Come on, Helmsley!
19:46Helmsley!
19:47Interrupted the count!
19:49The Undertaker is out of it!
19:54Oh, no!
19:56The stunner again!
19:58Austin got the stunner on Helmsley!
20:01Look at this!
20:04With the cover!
20:06They're saving the mats out here!
20:08The whole damn corporate ministry is out here!
20:09Well, it's legal!
20:10It's legal!
20:10Now, wait a minute!
20:11What?
20:12Y'all know it's legal!
20:13But it's not right!
20:15No homebar!
20:15It's not right!
20:16No homebar!
20:18No mercy!
20:19Look at this!
20:20Jay McMahon had it!
20:22Jay McMahon had it figured out all along!
20:23There's no way Austin's gonna walk out of here!
20:26With a WWF title!
20:29This is great!
20:30Can't you see what happens?
20:31The Undertaker and Triple H!
20:33The Undertaker and Triple H!
20:34They warned the rats to make them!
20:36They carried it!
20:36Oh, here's Texas!
20:37Wait, wait, wait!
20:38Wait a minute!
20:39It's Jacksonville!
20:41It's Kane!
20:43Kane!
20:46Austin's getting some backup!
20:48Kane!
20:49Here comes the brood!
20:51The brood!
20:54What the brood's doing here?
20:59The god is chaos!
21:02Chaos!
21:03There comes mankind!
21:05What?
21:05What?
21:07What?
21:11Yes!
21:12Everyone that was strong!
21:14Earlier tonight!
21:15They'll come to get them some!
21:17They can't get the Undertaker!
21:20Shane!
21:21What?
21:23Austin is down!
21:24It's Austin and Helmsley left!
21:27What a gang fight!
21:29It's a war on the outside!
21:30Wait a minute!
21:31The Undertaker's with mankind!
21:34He's kind of dragging the Undertaker to the back!
21:36Austin, they'll fight back!
21:37Wait a minute!
21:38It's one on war now!
21:40We need the Undertaker!
21:42Oh, Austin caught Helmsley!
21:44Oh, Helmsley rather!
21:45Cut Austin!
21:46That knee right to the face!
21:49That high knee driven to the face!
21:52Shane McMahon and China are still here at ringside!
21:54Thank goodness Shane's still here!
21:57There's a tough hole!
21:58There's no hole in far!
22:00They're telling us they're fighting all in the back now!
22:02Mankind fighting for the Undertaker!
22:04Equipment's being broken!
22:06Down the aisle!
22:08Into the bounds of the buildings where you're sold!
22:11Everybody's fighting!
22:13Now China's in the ring!
22:14For God's sakes!
22:16Come on!
22:17Austin!
22:17Austin is a beaten man!
22:19Look at this!
22:21What?
22:30What?
22:31What?
22:32Oh my God!
22:32Austin caught China!
22:34Yes!
22:35A stunner!
22:36Yeah!
22:38Yeah!
22:39Yeah!
22:40The Reynolds they scored!
22:42The leg is up!
22:43Give me!
22:44Yeah!
22:45Austin wins!
22:46Austin has overplayed the odds!
22:48One of my goals!
23:20Shane, look out!
23:22Harnage everywhere!
23:24No, not a stunner!
23:28He's got Shane!
23:32Shane McMahon!
23:34McMahon had him!
23:36Shane McMahon, he's paying for his hands!
23:38Look at this, folks!
23:39Here he goes!
23:41Ah, wrong callback!
23:46Look at him!
23:48One more hell's late!
23:51I've reached seat for WrestleMania!
23:54Oh, my gosh, look, he's got China!
23:56Oh, God, China's a corner!
23:58Oh, no!
23:58Give her to her, Spock!
24:00Give her to him!
24:01We got China!
24:05Oh, no!
24:07Right up, cowboy!
24:11Somehow, so way,
24:13that rattlesnake has done it!
24:16My side!
24:17How did he do it?
24:19Steve Austin is still the WWF champion!
24:25He's never gonna get much done!
24:29Even the referee!
24:30No call!
24:32Come see!
24:32He's 18,407 fans!
24:37That's all he'll do!
24:38The impossible!
24:39All that's over!
24:42How's the odds?
24:43What a far power!
24:58Bouncy, it's an insane big man.
25:02He's getting hurt, huh?
25:05Wait a minute.
