02:44What do you think about Shawn Michaels?
02:46You're the so-called expert, so what can we expect from him tonight?
02:49I love tag team.
02:51I love Royal Rumbles, and I love all the rest of them, but there's something basic and awesome
02:55about two superstars battling one-on-one.
03:06When his strikes land, you can feel it in the first few rows.
03:20You have to possess a different type of focus to punish an opponent like this.
03:40You know when you take direct hits like that, it becomes hard to move.
03:43If you can't move, you can't win.
03:48And the offensive display by Shawn Michaels.
03:58One, two, one.
04:05That strike hit the spot.
04:06There's no way he could have avoided that blow.
04:09One, two, three.
04:15Yep.
04:16There's the reversal by Shawn Michaels.
04:21Not the first time we've seen this move tonight.
04:24Four!
04:29Perhaps a powerbomb here, Corey.
04:31That certainly seems to be the case.
04:34Into the powerbomb position now.
04:36And that's not necessarily where you want to be at this point in the match.
04:41Seven!
04:47Oh, yeah.
04:48Here's Akum.
04:49Eight!
04:51Aw, man.
05:04I can tell you, nobody's happy about it.
05:14Here is your winner, Akum.
05:17And the official dis...
05:26There's no other way to put it.
05:27This 101 match is going to be a struggle in every sense of the word.
05:31Neither man looks like they are remotely entertaining the idea of backing down.
05:35This is gonna be good.
05:38Settle in, guys.
05:39This is gonna be a blast to watch.
06:03Gotta wonder how this is gonna end, Byron.
06:05Whatever happens, it's not gonna be good.
06:06I can tell you that just getting carried around here. You have to wonder what the end game is here
06:12Cole
06:18Nothing nice about that move guys
06:32It's not looking good for Shawn Michaels here. We all know though this guy has plenty of fight left in
06:37him
06:37Hey, you're gonna absorb some punishment in a wrestling match. It just goes along with the territory and he knows
06:42that
06:43I doubt he's all that concerned at this point. I guarantee you that the post-game show on the WWE
06:48Network will be talking about how
06:53He struggled getting out of the gate here tonight
07:21What are you doing?
07:45What are you doing?
07:56two
08:04His strikes have a little extra on them tonight
08:09What offense Shawn Michaels is showing at this point
08:15perhaps a powerbomb here Corey that certainly seems to be the case
08:20Got to make a move here. Yeah, the longer this goes on the greater the chance of escape
08:27A strike out of nowhere
08:41He's got a hurry if he doesn't want to get counted out here time certainly not on his side Michael
09:00Back in from the floor
09:03Wow, that was close. Come on. He knew what he was doing the whole time
09:12And the offensive display by Shawn Michaels
09:18One offense Shawn Michaels is showing at this point
09:36Tough situation to be in right here. Yeah, you have to think this is not going to end well
09:41Looks like
09:41You got powerbomb coming up there may be no escaping this one Cole
09:59He kicks him right in the gut
10:02He's on the defensive here, but it's gonna take a lot more than that to stop him here tonight
10:07Yeah, but it looks to me like he still has plenty of energy in that body of his I wouldn't
10:12look too much into this right now
10:13This is exactly the opening his opponent was looking for it wasn't easy to find but hey he found it
10:18finally
10:34The shoe might be on the other foot here
10:41He is a one-man gang in there
10:44He is a one-man gang in there
10:47Got him for broke
10:51Thunderous Russian leg sweep by Acum
10:53This could be it
11:08Oh no
11:09Acum's gonna finish things off once it for all
11:12Oh-ho-ho!
11:14Pure devastation
11:16You don't see the heartbreak kid manhandled like this very often
11:19The situation
11:20The situation just got...
11:27Real bad for...
11:28This should do it right there
11:40This could be it for him guys
11:42Yeah, he's on Dream Street
11:45Yeah, he's on Dream Street
11:54Acum is setting a good pace now
12:07Acum is setting a good pace now
12:18The axe handle hits the mark
12:27This might be the end of the road for him Byron
12:29Well if he can't get back to his feet
12:31You're absolutely right
12:33He delivers another elbow
12:51Sean Michaels using his speed right there
13:02He's really taking over this match now
13:05Ain't no stopping him now
13:12And he lands a savage elbow
13:17A well placed strike
13:19Obviously putting a lot of stock in that maneuver
13:22He's struggling a bit here
13:23He doesn't want to absorb much more punishment
13:26If he wants to win this match
13:27The bottom line here is that
13:29Despite what's going on right now
13:30He's still in much more favorable health
13:33Than his opponent
13:34At this point
13:35You'd think he'd have that move well scouted
13:40Plenty of force behind that elbow
13:42This is some good offense by Sean Michaels
13:50He's making a statement here with this attack
13:53Doesn't show any signs of getting up here guys
13:56No, he's taking one heck of a beating Michael
14:07A second time
14:10Thunderous Russian leg sweep by Akum
14:12But he's running on fumes here
14:14Does he have enough left in him to capitalize?
14:16He clearly has confidence in that move
14:19Oh no
14:24And that shot finds its target
14:263, 2, 3, 2, 1
14:33Oh no
14:35So
14:37So
14:39Talk about having a living hell beat outta you
14:42Looks to me like he just hit a wall
14:44The WWE.com poll had him as the overwhelming
14:47Bang!
14:49Never saw it coming
14:50Superkick!
14:51Just when you thought he had nothing left
14:54And Shawn Michaels might have just secured the victory.
14:58Oh, he turns it around.
14:59His clothesline finds the mark.
15:08Uh-oh.
15:10Aiken's going to finish things off once and for all.
15:13Boom. Powerball.
15:15And there it is, boys.
15:21Can he score the pin?
15:24Two, three, one, two, three.
15:26The cover. And this one's history.
15:29What a win.
15:41Here is your winner, Aiken.
15:44What a grueling match.
15:53this is it the moment we've been waiting for the time for talking is behind us now these two
15:58superstars will test one another's abilities and will like never before this is about being the
16:03best and it looks to me like this entire arena is on its feet and understandably so and let's
16:10not forget we're coming to you live from the hometown one of the greatest of all time Shawn Michaels
16:16and there's the schoolboy class is now in session
16:31he goes to the quick pen attempt
16:35this is some great offense by Shawn Michaels
16:41oh no we could be looking at a power bomb I think you're right Cole look out he's starting
16:47to stumble here I fully expect him to bounce back though this is the type of one-on-one atmosphere
16:52where he thrives hey you're gonna absorb some punishment in a wrestling match it just goes
16:57along with the territory and he knows that I doubt he's all that concerned at this point this thing
17:02appears to be slipping away from him in a hurry guys and you can bet he envisioned things going
17:07much differently for him heading into this match
17:10much better
17:10much better
17:11much better
