00:21This next match is set for one fall.
00:25Introducing first being accompanied by the ravishing Russian Lana.
00:30Now residing in Moscow, weighing in at 138 kilos,
00:34he is the recipient of the Gold Star Medal and hero to the Russian Federation,
00:41Rusev!
01:00The reception you'd expect for Rusev here tonight in Dallas.
01:07I think right here in the heartland of America,
01:11there will be a lot of Texans behind the Big Show, as will be 318 million Americans.
01:17Well, Dallas is the home of America's team.
01:21I would think that tonight they're looking at the Big Show being part of that team.
01:45She's gonna tell her to shut her cup.
01:47Shut up!
01:47There it is.
01:54Shut up!
02:04In America, you claim to have the largest athlete, the Big Show.
02:11He is impressive.
02:14In Russia, we have the superathlete, the Bulgarian Brut, Rusev!
02:27Tonight, two superpowers will collide globally for the supremacy of the world.
02:36So I ask you, for once, to be respectful and rise for the playing of the Russian National Anthem.
02:49I don't think that'll happen.
02:52Well, it's the Big Show.
02:55It won't.
02:57And his opponent, standing at seven feet tall, weighing in at 425 pounds,
03:05he is the world's largest athlete, the Big Show.
03:11I guess we're not gonna hear the Russian National Anthem.
03:13Yeah.
03:13But everybody is on their feet.
03:17The world's largest athlete, the Big Show, ladies and gentlemen,
03:20who twice has knocked out Rusev.
03:23However, Rusev has not been pinned, he's not submitted.
03:27Big Show hoping to become the first person to do that tonight.
03:32Look at the size difference.
03:37This past Friday night on SmackDown, a passionate and emotional Big Show,
03:42an interview discussing this match here tonight against Rusev.
03:48And as you mentioned, Michael, those knockouts were not in a match.
03:51Big Show has not pinned, no one has pinned the Big Russian.
03:55You have a Big Show Friday night on SmackDown,
03:57vowed that he would do that here tonight.
04:03Big Show gotta really use that size.
04:07And weight advantage.
04:08Ow.
04:10Flying pan size hands of the Big Show.
04:15Headbutt driving Rusev to his knees.
04:22And Rusev.
04:26Double shot right to the throat of Big Show.
04:29Big Show didn't go off his feet.
04:31Yeah, body shot by Big Show, whips Rusev into the corner.
04:34Near 500 pounder, misses as Rusev misses his quickness.
04:38Yep.
04:39Rusev!
04:40Big Show tried to plant that size.
04:4222, 5, he boot the face of Rusev.
04:44And a hyperextended knee.
04:46And right down to the knee again.
04:47This is a great strategy.
04:48I don't like to say that, I'm rooting for Big Show.
04:51But terrific strategy by Rusev.
04:53Get the big giant off his feet.
04:54Exactly right.
04:55Now attack the knee again.
04:59And listen to Big Show.
05:02Screaming in agony.
05:04You ever had your knee hyperextended, Michael?
05:09That was not hot.
05:10Playing checkers.
05:17Big Show, I don't believe, has any chance of this match if he can't get back to his feet.
05:26I don't know.
05:27I think Big Show, if I can knock Rusev out from flat on his back.
05:31Yeah, if Rusev can stay away from that right hand.
05:33And right now, Big Show is just trying to survive.
05:36Rusev continues to punish the left leg of Big Show.
05:42I hate to say it, but Rusev came into this match with a strategy.
05:46A great game plan, and he's working it to perfection.
05:50Yeah, Big Show came out of the box quickly, but Rusev, with one move, is turning this around.
05:56The world's largest athlete's been floored.
06:00Big Show trying to position himself.
06:03Swirling around there to see if he can get a shot in on the jaw of Rusev.
06:06Rusev, there you go.
06:08Big Show's leg over there.
06:11That tree trunk like leg of Big Show.
06:14Wow.
06:15Finally, forces Rusev to break the hole.
06:17Now a look for concern on the face of Lana.
06:20That'll rearrange your five cuspids.
06:22Back to the knee.
06:25Rusev, he's not gonna do this.
06:26You're kidding, Rusev.
06:27My God, talk about power.
06:30Holy mackerel.
06:32Suplex to the 450 pounder.
06:35Wow.
06:38Well, that had to impress Lana.
06:40It sure impressed me.
06:42Now right back to work on the injured leg.
06:47Guys, look at the strength here.
06:50Rusev.
06:51My goodness.
06:57I mean, when the Big Show hit the mat, he had to be thinking, did I just get suplexed?
07:06Now Big Show's powering out of it, trying to make it back to his feet.
07:10Like that wheel.
07:13And he does, but Big Show's suffering here.
07:15Well, you know, there's a lot of weight in trying to get on the bad knee.
07:19What a kick.
07:22Each and every week, Rusev continues to impress.
07:25Show us how athletic he is.
07:26It's a rare blade of strength and speed.
07:31Rusev has great athleticism by the big Russian.
07:34Trained in so many disciplines.
07:38Sumo, Sambo.
07:40Muay Thai.
07:42Power lifter by trade.
07:44And Big Show said he's been training this week.
07:46Went to the accolade, went to the accolade.
07:48There it is.
07:48And Big Show able to counter.
07:50That's the training.
07:51Big Show's been born for this week to counter the accolade.
07:54Big Show told me that he's been working on that all month.
07:57Rusev, can he tap out?
07:59Will Big Show become the first man to make Rusev tap out?
08:04Kind of screaming at Rusev.
08:06Rusev gotta be in a world of hurt right here.
08:11Rusev gonna tap?
08:12Is he gonna tap?
08:13Is he gonna tap?
08:13Is Rusev gonna tap?
08:15Big Show's got Rusev tapping.
08:16The accolade has never been countered like that.
08:20Back to the truck stop.
08:22And Big Show.
08:23Big Show had a game plan.
08:24Yeah, he had Rusev.
08:25Big Show had scouted Rusev, spent some time in the gym.
08:30Yeah, Rusev having, he's gonna have his own troubles getting back to his feet.
08:35Uh-oh, coming for the knockout blow.
08:36Big Show just takes one.
08:38Get ready, America.
08:39Pissed his clinch, went for the KO, Rusev ducked underneath.
08:46Shoulder tackle by Big Show.
08:48Now the Giants building momentum.
08:58The running bus.
09:00A spear.
09:02That almost broke Rusev in half.
09:05Knock him out, Big Show.
09:07Or just cover him.
09:08Will this be the first time that Rusev-
09:10Knock him all the way back to Moscow.
09:12Mark Henry wants to get a closer look at this victory by the Big Show.
09:17Big Show's best friend is a tag team partner.
09:21Mark Henry, who couldn't get the job done against Rusev, gonna cheer his friend on.
09:25They're about to be crying in St. Petersburg.
09:29Hit him, Big Show.
09:31Big Show looking for- Uh-oh.
09:33A chokeslam perhaps to Rusev.
09:35Rusev back down low though.
09:38Driving Big Show back to his knee.
09:44Uh-oh, Big Show caught him.
09:46Big Show caught him.
09:47Morgan.
09:52One chokeslam for America.
09:54Cover.
09:55The first to win.
09:56The first to win.
09:56Rusev kicked out.
09:57Wasn't even close.
10:11Don't do it, Mark.
10:17You guys, you gotta know how bad Mark Henry would love to.
10:21Well, Mark Henry already had his chance.
10:23He lost.
10:24He embarrassed our country.
10:25He'd like to get a shot in here.
10:28Of course he would.
10:29Roy Rusev's down.
10:30One, two, one.
10:31One, two, one.
10:32It's time to kick that.
10:34Go, man.
10:34I'll get it.
10:35Three of them.
10:37Big Show telling Mark Henry out.
10:39And Rusev with a kick right into the jaw.
10:41And it's stunned Big Show.
10:43It's stunned Big Show.
10:44I don't think he knows where he's at.
10:45And now Mark Henry catches a super kick.
10:51Yeah.
10:55Rusev again.
10:56Big Show is stunned.
11:00So lovely.
11:01Another one.
11:02Big Show to his knees.
11:11And now Rusev smells blood.
11:13My way.
11:14Looking for the accolade on Big Show.
11:16You can't get that on the giant.
11:22Big Show.
11:23Come on, Big Show.
11:25Don't give up.
11:27Don't give up, Big Show.
11:2815,000 strong chain in USA.
11:31You're a giant, Big Show.
11:33U.S.
11:34U.S.
11:36U.S.
11:36U.S.
11:37U.S.
11:39U.S.
11:48Here is your winner by submission, Rusev.
11:53Big Show tap to the accolade.
11:57Rusev remains unstoppable.
12:11America has lost again.
12:24I'm sick of seeing that.
12:27And this is not what I was expecting tonight.
12:35The giant may have been our last hole.
12:44John, you make a good point.
12:46Who's gonna beat this man?
12:48Who is gonna beat Rusev?
12:52Never thought I'd see that, Dallas, Texas.
12:55A real American couldn't do it.
12:58The world's strongest man couldn't do it.
13:01The world's largest athlete couldn't do it.
13:07Rusev, Rusev may be like he says, he may be unstoppable.
13:13Wow.
13:14It's sickening, but I think it's true.
13:16It is.
13:26Nothing worse than seeing somebody else celebrate on your home turf.
13:32Nothing worse than another one of our superstars embarrassing our country.
