00:08The WWE undisputed titles on the line with Triple Threat Rolls.
00:13And here comes that absolute animal, the next big thing, Brock Lesnar.
00:21This guy is a specimen.
00:23This country has never experienced Brock Lesnar.
00:28I'm telling you right now, this guy's the real deal, Paul.
00:33Brock Lesnar's not just the next big thing, he's the real thing.
00:38Ain't much more guys more credible than this one.
00:41You can see the confidence in Brock Lesnar.
00:43Each and every week, the confidence grows.
00:46And then let's not count out Paul Heyman, as you see Paul Heyman chirping away.
00:50I know Paul very well.
00:52He can get in the head of one of his competitors.
00:54That's Brock Lesnar's agent, and he's in Lesnar's head.
00:58The following contest is a no disqualification,
01:00triple threat match for the WWE Undisputed Championship.
01:07Approaching the ring, being accompanied by his agent, Paul Heyman.
01:11From Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in at 295 pounds.
01:16The next big thing, Brock Lesnar.
01:22You talk about Paul Heyman getting his competitor's head.
01:26What do you mean that in a good way?
01:28Absolutely, I mean, Paul Heyman, if you have confidence, that's great.
01:33Heyman will take that confidence and max it times ten.
01:36Heyman can bring the best out of you.
01:39He can make chicken salad out of chicken crap anytime, I'm telling you.
01:43I've seen him do it.
01:44He's great at it.
01:48And Brock Lesnar, I mean,
01:50wrote it with credentials and his amateur background.
01:54Two-time Big Ten champion.
01:56Two-time national champion.
01:58This guy is the real deal.
01:59Time to play the game.
02:20It's all about the game, and how you play it.
02:23All about the crime.
02:24And if you can take it, it's all about you.
02:30It's his first match back since an elbow injury a few weeks back.
02:35The game, Triple H, with an opportunity tonight to win the WWE on the speed of title.
02:41And you know Triple H well, Taz, if you look at it right now,
02:44the game looks to be extremely, extremely focused heading into this match.
02:58The game's always focused.
03:02Triple H, big time success in the WWE, but tonight he looks really, really into this thing, man.
03:11And he stares down at the animal known as Brock Lesnar.
03:16Triple H has been in Brock's shoes before.
03:19Triple H knows Brock is the guy coming up.
03:22The guy on the rise.
03:24The guy that's got a rocket behind him with Paul Hayden in his head.
03:28And the game has an opportunity to take out Brock.
03:32But let's not forget about The Rock, the Undisputed Champ, who's coming out next.
03:38And let's not forget that Triple H is the cerebral assassin.
03:43That Triple H, I'm sure, has scouted the 295-pound Brock Lesnar.
03:49He knows Brock Lesnar's strength.
03:51He knows his weaknesses.
03:53And he will know how to combat Lesnar in this matchup tonight.
03:56That's a great point.
03:57Triple H is a student of the game.
04:00He studies everyone.
04:02Anybody that's on a rise.
04:03Anybody that's on a low.
04:05It don't matter if you're an opening match gathering or main event of.
04:08The game, Triple H knows you.
04:10He studies tape.
04:12He studies your background.
04:13He knows Brock well.
04:17And Triple H also knows The Rock well.
04:22The storied rivalry between Triple H and The Rock, which has gone on over the years.
04:29Close to 60,000 people live right here tonight in Melbourne going nuts for Triple H.
04:37A sea of glass bulbs.
04:41The global warning tour.
04:43Set for the triple threat match for the title.
04:46But brace yourselves.
04:48The undisputed champ is on his way.
04:51The love is good.
05:11And from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 275 pounds, is the WWE Undisputed Champion, The Rock.
05:25He is an international superstar.
05:29He is perhaps the most popular sports entertainer in WWE history.
05:37He is the seventh time WWE Champion.
05:43The people's champion.
05:45The Rock.
05:54Well, Triple H and The Rock are both household names in all great industry.
06:00Brock Lesnar is trying to fake that same stride in his career.
06:05He's in there with a great opportunity facing The Rock and Triple H.
06:10Brock Lesnar might have a rough night tonight though.
06:13As you pointed out, The Rock and Triple H have had a tremendous rivalry.
06:18And Brock Lesnar is right in the middle of that thing now.
06:23You look into the eyes of the Brahma Bull.
06:29The focus on keeping the title tonight in a triple threat match where the rules are simple.
06:35The first man to gain a pinfall or a submission will win this matchup.
06:41And the champion test does not have to be involved in this.
06:44So, for instance, Brock Lesnar could pin Triple H and Brock Lesnar would win the title.
06:50Well, The Rock really has to be on his toes here.
06:52He's got to defend his title against two mega, mega competitors.
06:58You saw what Brock Lesnar did to Hollywood Hulk Hogan just a week ago.
07:02That's the reason Hulk Hogan is not in Melbourne for global warning.
07:07Brock Lesnar destroyed Hulk Hogan.
07:10That man right there, Lesnar, is a career killer.
07:17Lesnar says the title's his.
07:19If he wins tonight, he'll become the youngest WWE Champion ever.
07:22The Rock, as of now, is the youngest ever.
07:24People here right now in Melbourne, Australia, getting a big-time treat.
07:30The Rock won his first title at 26 years of age.
07:32If Brock Lesnar were to win tonight, he would be 24 years old.
07:37Oh!
07:37Double elbow.
07:38As you see, the two more experienced competitors, The Rock and Triple H,
07:41taking advantage of the inexperienced six-foot-four, 295-pound Brock Lesnar.
07:47And it leads Triple H to The Rock together in the ring,
07:49clotheslined by the game, and that's why he is the cerebral assassin.
07:52That camaraderie didn't last long on the games part, did it?
07:55Of course not.
07:56It's not about friendship here, Taz.
07:57You know that better than anybody else.
07:59Absolutely.
07:59It's about the title.
08:00You're right.
08:00Rock knew that.
08:01It was just a matter of time for Rock at the game, and the game jumped on The Rock.
08:05The Rock.
08:05I should say Triple H knows that having the title means you're the best in the business.
08:10It means riches.
08:11It means superstardom.
08:13It means possible stardom in other roles in the entertainment industry.
08:17It means so much to be champion of the WWE.
08:19That WWE undisputed championship championship is the most prestigious thing you can get in this business.
08:27Brock Lesnar brought in the hard way by The Rock, who exploded with the right hand.
08:32And Triple H from behind to the champion.
08:34And The Rock with the right hand in the game.
08:36And Brock Lesnar, sheer power.
08:39Ever-dominating Brock Lesnar, big-time stiff clothesline.
08:43And now the 295-pounder begins the assault on the Brahma Bull.
08:48And look at Triple H.
08:49Just biding his time, catching his breath.
08:51Cerebral assassin.
08:53That's how the game plays the game.
08:57If Brock didn't do the dirty work and soften up The Rock, go ahead.
09:01Go ahead, kid.
09:02Go ahead, Brock.
09:03Do it.
09:03That's what I was gonna say.
09:05Triple H allowing Brock to expend himself.
09:07And now Triple H to move in for the kill on the Brahma Bull.
09:10Smart.
09:11Smart strategy by The Game.
09:13That's why he's called The Game.
09:15And don't forget the possible wild card in all this.
09:18Paul Heyman at ringside, Brock Lesnar's agent.
09:24These fans chanting for The Rock in Melbourne.
09:26Colonial Stadium jam-packed 56,000-plus.
09:30A new record for this place.
09:31Seen a tremendous night at Global Warning.
09:34Well, Lesnar and Triple H just picking their shots on The Rock.
09:37But The Rock coming back.
09:38The right hands by the Brahma Bull.
09:40Triple H ripped off the ropes.
09:41Rock telegraphed it.
09:42The assassin took advantage.
09:45Face buster.
09:45Face buster by the game and a clothesline by Lesnar.
09:47Cover by Triple H.
09:48And why is Brock Lesnar just standing there?
09:51Inexperience.
09:52There's the inexperience.
09:52Exactly.
09:53That's the inexperience.
09:54He doesn't realize that yet because he's in the middle of this battle in front of all
09:58these people.
09:59You gotta figure Brock's a little nervous.
10:02Brock Lesnar not realizing that if Triple H had picked up the pinfall, the game was the champ.
10:06Brock Lesnar would be out in the cold.
10:08This isn't an elimination matchup.
10:10This is triple threat rules.
10:11First pinfall, first submission.
10:13You win the damn thing.
10:14Everybody knows Lesnar's a diamond in the rough.
10:17And especially Paul Heyman, he knows it better than anybody.
10:19Here comes The Rock.
10:20The Brahma Bull with the right hands and Triple H cuts The Rock off at the pass.
10:24Here's the double team again by the rookie and the veteran.
10:26Ducks underneath the double clothesline.
10:28The Rock knocks Bookman down.
10:32The Brahma Bull, the champion, desperately trying to hold on to his title.
10:36The Rock's all hot, never stops fighting, never stops coming.
10:40Here comes Lesnar at the game.
10:42And Brock Lesnar clubbing Triple H.
10:46Brock Lesnar just getting shot right at the game, courtesy of The Rock.
10:50The Rock with the right hands to Brock.
10:52Here's the reversal.
10:53The Rock whipped off the ropes and what a clothesline by Brock Lesnar.
10:58And he has the credentials, the amateur credentials,
11:01to prove that he's gonna be the next big thing in the WWE.
11:05NCAA champion, I mean captain of the University of Minnesota,
11:08Golden Gophers wrestling program, very successful.
11:12Well, The Rock counted that and kind of looked like a little bit of a backdrop
11:15over the top rope by The Rock.
11:17Brock Lesnar dumped over the top rope, Triple H outside the ring as well.
11:20And now The Rock outside the ring, all three men outside the ring.
11:25Well, that's to The Rock's benefit.
11:27If they can keep this thing on the outside, the count out occurs.
11:30The Rock keeps his championship, look at Heyman.
11:32Yeah, look at Paul Heyman.
11:33My God, Heyman, what the hell is wrong with you?
11:35Yeah, that was wise.
11:37Please catch him rocking.
11:39Hey, Triple H with a clothesline.
11:41Again, this cerebral assassin let Heyman and Lesnar do the dirty work,
11:45and Triple H picked off The Rock.
11:48Triple H is just always thinking.
11:52Triple H, a thinking man's wrestler.
11:55Very, like I pointed out in the beginning of this match,
11:57a student of the game, the game is always thinking in there.
12:01It doesn't just use power and speed, he thinks.
12:03And Triple H realizing that you cannot win the title outside the ring,
12:07quickly back in the ring to take advantage of Brock
12:09while The Rock is down outside the ring.
12:12Look at this beatdown by the game.
12:14You gotta wonder if Brock Lesnar at the hell with that.
12:17You ain't gotta wonder.
12:18We've never seen Lesnar get a beatdown like this before.
12:21Well, Triple H, former WWE Champion, Intercontinental Champion,
12:27the game Triple H, perhaps trying to teach Brock Lesnar a lesson.
12:32And Lesnar with a shoulder.
12:35A big, thick deltoid of Lesnar right in the well-conditioned abs of the game.
12:41Oh!
12:42Basically knocking the wind out of Triple H.
12:44Lesnar driving the shoulder into the game.
12:48Even at the condition at Triple H, he's always in great, great physical condition.
12:52He's still feeling this heavy offense by Brock Lesnar.
12:56He's so strong, Lesnar is.
12:57Clubbing blow from behind by the 295-pound Brock Lesnar.
13:03Oh!
13:04Lesnar's always focused.
13:06He doesn't, you know, hang out in the back with the guys.
13:09We're here in Australia.
13:10He didn't hang out with nobody.
13:12He stood focused, went to the gym and trained, and Paul Heyman in his ear the whole while.
13:17Championship, you gotta get the championship, Brock.
13:20Can you imagine spending your time in Australia with Paul Heyman?
13:23No.
13:23Triple H, knee to the face.
13:28Brock Lesnar and The Rock back into the ring.
13:31They're using the inexperience of Brock.
13:33Brock, and then again, spit punch.
13:36The Rock laying the smack down on Brock.
13:38Watch your back.
13:39Watch your back, Brock.
13:40And again, you can't turn your back on the game.
13:42The Rock should know better than that.
13:44Here's the cover with the title on the line.
13:46Hook of the leg.
13:47And The Rock got the shoulder up.
13:49The Rock got caught up in that little fist of cuff with Lesnar.
13:53Didn't see the game.
13:54Oh, look out.
13:54Brock Lesnar.
13:57Triple H, this is legal.
13:58He can pin Lesnar and win, but Lesnar gets the shoulder up.
14:02The Rock trying to get to his feet.
14:04He's up.
14:05He's moving quick.
14:06Neck breaker.
14:08The Rock getting the cover.
14:09Hook of the leg.
14:10And out Brock Lesnar realizing, breaks up the three count.
14:14Exactly.
14:15Lesnar realizing that championship could have been out of his grasp.
14:18Uh-oh.
14:18F5.
14:19F5.
14:19Perhaps going for the F5.
14:21Triple H shot to the midsection.
14:23Brock Lesnar in trouble.
14:24Pedigree.
14:25Triple H fell the animal.
14:27The pedigree out.
14:27And Brock Lesnar countered.
14:30Triple H went for that pedigree, but the big man blocked it.
14:33Rock bottom.
14:34Lesnar, Brock, he blocked the rock bottom as well.
14:37Triple H knocked out of the ring.
14:39The Rock with the right hands to Brock.
14:42Dunk on the belly to belly.
14:44Oh, wow.
14:45What a throw by Brock Lesnar to the Brahma Bull.
14:49Have you ever seen anyone manhandle The Rock like that?
14:51No, not that I can remember, man.
14:53Brock Lesnar with those big meat hoof hands just chucking The Rock.
14:57And look at this.
14:58Those big hands driving Triple H into that steel post.
15:01Face first.
15:02And now Brock Lesnar begins to assert himself.
15:05Don't waste your time.
15:06Brock going for the kill, man.
15:08Hit that F5.
15:09You'll be the new champion right here in Australia.
15:11The pace is slowed.
15:12The power game coming into play for Brock Lesnar.
15:16And if it continues at this pace, Brock Lesnar will be crown champion.
15:20Brock Lesnar just hitting that short clothesline, trying to wear down The Rock for the F5.
15:25There comes another one.
15:27Brock.
15:27But The Rock would block the right hand by Brock.
15:32Oh, look out.
15:33And there's the bear hug.
15:34We've seen him do this.
15:35We've seen Brock do this recently to Hulk Hogan.
15:38Squeeze the life out of Hogan.
15:39Ending Hulkamania, some say.
15:42You saw the bear hug locked into Hogan.
15:45The internal bleeding to cause.
15:47The reason Hogan isn't here on Global Warning because of that man.
15:51Those hands are clasped nice and tight with that under and over grip.
15:54And you've got to figure the game.
15:56The game is just sitting back somewhere.
15:59Ringside checking this out.
16:00Let Brock Lesnar wear down The Rock.
16:03The Cerebral Assassin is a genius.
16:06Brock Lesnar trying to suck the life out of the Brahma ball.
16:11Well, I was wrong.
16:12The Cerebral Assassin's outside looks like he might be bleeding.
16:14He's banged up.
16:17How much more does The Rock have left?
16:19Brock Lesnar can literally taste the championship.
16:23Triple H may be out of this matchup for good.
16:25Well, no one can help The Rock right now except The Rock himself.
16:28The game is hurting outside.
16:30One more time and we'll have a new champion in Brock Lesnar.
16:33The arm goes down a third time.
16:34This one's over.
16:35And The Rock keeps the arm up.
16:37There is some fight left in the Brahma Bowl.
16:41And here comes the champion with the right hands to the temple of Lesnar.
16:45Can't break the grip.
16:46He did.
16:47He broke the grip.
16:47The Rock did.
16:50Uh-oh.
16:51F5 time.
16:52F5 time.
16:53Lesnar setting The Rock up.
16:54Count up.
16:54He lands on his feet.
16:57And now the right hands by The Rock to Brock Lesnar.
17:00I don't think anybody counted the F5 before.
17:02Duck by The Rock.
17:03Clothesline.
17:03A big clothesline.
17:05The Rock running right through Lesnar.
17:07The champion is building momentum.
17:11DDT plants Lesnar.
17:13Cover.
17:13Hook of the outside leg.
17:14One, two.
17:15That's out.
17:16Lesnar kicked out.
17:18Brock Lesnar kicked out.
17:20The Rock bringing on the former defensive tackle from the University of Miami.
17:24Bringing it to The Rock.
17:25Two national champions in the ring.
17:26Won a national champion football player from Miami.
17:30Won a national champion wrestler.
17:32And the sharpshooter locked in.
17:34Will Brock Lesnar tap?
17:37Lesnar's got those strong quads and that strong lower back.
17:41Can Lesnar hang on while The Rock has got this cinched in the sharpshooter?
17:46Will Brock Lesnar tap?
17:48The game.
17:48The game goal.
17:49Here comes the game.
17:50And Triple H desperately breaking up the sharpshooter.
17:54We don't know if Brock Lesnar would have tapped or not.
17:57Great strategy by the game.
17:59Outside the ring bleeding in pain.
18:01But seeing that Lesnar was in trouble with that sharpshooter and the game came in and broke it up.
18:07Tremendous heart by all three of these competitors.
18:10Pedigree.
18:10Pedigree.
18:10It could be Pedigree time.
18:12Pedigree.
18:13Pedigree to The Rock.
18:14We're gonna crowd a new champion in Melbourne.
18:16The game.
18:17The game's gonna win it man.
18:18Come on Triple H.
18:19Hooks the leg.
18:20There's two in Brock Lesnar.
18:22Desperately.
18:23Desperately breaks up the three count.
18:25Talk about a main event right here in Melbourne.
18:29Unbelievable match.
18:30Brock Lesnar still feeling the effects of the sharpshooter.
18:33Triple H has been busted wide open.
18:36The Rock on Dream Street after the Pedigree.
18:38The game's gonna get F5.
18:39Cole.
18:40F5 to Triple H.
18:42The game never received one of those before.
18:44The game is out.
18:45And Brock Lesnar trying to become the youngest champion in history.
18:50The Rock.
18:50And the champion desperately saves his title.
18:52The Rock saved himself.
18:56All three men feeling the effects of this long and arduous matchup.
19:00You could just see this is the effects of how prestigious that championship is to all three men.
19:07Brock with the right hands.
19:08The Rock is reeling.
19:10Brock Lesnar seemingly digging down deep for a second win.
19:14That big stunt Brock Lesnar's bringing it on.
19:16Uh-oh.
19:17Spine buster.
19:19And here it comes.
19:22And here it comes.
19:22Even in Australia, it's the most electrifying move in sports entertainment.
19:30The people's elbow to the heart of Brock Lesnar.
19:34That's all when Brock keeps his title.
19:37No!
19:38Lesnar kicked out.
19:39And Paul Heyman is ecstatic.
19:43Heyman's happy.
19:44He's loving it.
19:45He's loving it.
19:48Brock Lesnar is ecstatic.
19:50Okay, Paul, get down.
19:51You're making me sick.
19:52I'm begging to get off that apron.
19:54And so is Paul Heyman that Brock was able to kick out of the people's elbow.
20:01Oh, I've been waiting for this for years.
20:03Someone's gonna drop Heyman.
20:06Bam!
20:06A right hand by The Rock.
20:08But The Rock distracted.
20:10Here comes an F5 by Lesnar.
20:11An F5 to the champion.
20:14Brock Lesnar, if he can get into a cover, is gonna win this damn match.
20:19He's gonna hook a leg.
20:20That's an amateur background too.
20:22And Triple H desperately saves the match.
20:27What a match.
20:29Three of the greatest athletes probably in the history of this company, of this business.
20:34The Rock, Brock Lesnar, and the game Triple H.
20:38Lesnar to his feet.
20:39Triple H kicked to the midsection.
20:42Pedigree.
20:43Pedigree.
20:43Pedigree to Lesnar.
20:45Triple H can win the title if he can pin Lesnar.
20:48That's it.
20:49We gotta know.
20:49Lesnar kicked out of the pedigree.
20:51Lesnar kicked out of the pedigree.
20:53And the people's elbow.
20:54God bless Brock Lesnar and the game.
20:58Triple H can't believe it.
21:01Triple H cannot believe it.
21:06Triple H a bloody mess.
21:09The Rock to his feet.
21:10Look out.
21:11Rock bottom.
21:11Rock bottom.
21:12From out of nowhere.
21:14To the game.
21:14The Rock wins.
21:16The Rock retains the title.
21:22Here is your winner and still WWE Undisputed Champion, The Rock.
21:32What an honor for Global Warning.
21:37For Taz and Michael Cole, thanks for joining us.
22:02Jiayi Gulba.
22:03We should be beholden.
22:05Flood.
22:06Who are so?
22:19I am.
22:24I have a hockey.
22:24We need to do this.
22:25I have to admit them.
22:28What a '' but''
