WWF Raw Is War (December 13, 1999)
Transcript
00:00when he arrives here in Raw.
00:02Why did Stephanie turn her back on her father at Armageddon?
00:13Why did she align herself with her estranged husband, Triple H?
00:17Maybe we'll get these answers tonight.
00:19But right now, the new Intercontinental Champion, Y2J himself, Chris Jericho,
00:26is on his way to the ring.
00:29I'm sure to impress this capacity crowd.
00:33But they already said he came here to save the WWF.
00:36Now he's got gold around his waist.
00:38He is the Intercontinental Champion.
00:41We may have a real Y2J problem on our hands.
00:48Once again, this belt is around the waist
00:54and where it belongs, with the legendary, incredibly charismatic showman,
01:05in Y2J.
01:09And just by having this belt around the waist of the Ayatollah,
01:25of Rock and Rolla, has given the World Wrestling Federation
01:32a tremendous amount of credibility
01:36and helped to drag it out of the hole that it had dug for itself.
01:45But most importantly, I have now proven as a champion
01:51that this show is definitely my show.
01:56That this show is Raw is Jericho.
02:04I still can't figure out why Chyna should-
02:06XBOCT!
02:08Jericho's standing in the middle of that fight, wait a minute.
02:14It's XBOCT's music, obviously.
02:18XBOCT in a war inside a cage with King and Armageddon.
02:22Unbelievable, that was. There he goes!
02:25It's XBOCT!
02:35You know something, Jericho?
02:41I don't know what I'm sicker of,
02:45your crap,
02:48or that all these people are buying it.
02:54All I hear about how great you are,
02:57but I'll tell you one thing,
03:00that I'm a lot greater than you at.
03:04I'm a lot greater than you
03:07at knowing how to treat a lady, if you know what I mean.
03:11Huh?
03:13Just ask Tory.
03:15Uh-oh.
03:16But my point is this,
03:18you run your mouth, boy,
03:21you think you're a hell of an Intercontinental Champion,
03:24you think you're a hell of an Intercontinental Champion
03:27when you just got the damn thing last night?
03:31So what I'm saying to you is this,
03:33not up or shut up, boy!
03:36Put that belt on the line!
03:39Challenge right there.
03:42Your ass is grass and I'm gonna smoke it.
03:46Jericho has accepted the challenge,
03:48and I guess this-
03:50Is this gonna be right now?
03:52We're gonna start off the, uh,
03:54a lot of two-hour broadcast here.
03:56Hey, look at this!
03:58We got a referee running to the ring,
04:00because this was not a scheduled match-up.
04:03But that's...
04:079th corner of the world, China.
04:11I don't know if she's playing hidden games,
04:13or she's on her way out here.
04:15I still don't understand why China
04:17sent Jericho to that game
04:19after the match last night.
04:21There's China and the new WWF Women's Champion,
04:24Miss Kitty.
04:27I see that there!
04:28What are they doing out here now?
04:30Your guess is as good as mine.
04:32I'm sure China wants to get her hands
04:34back on that Intercontinental title,
04:36but X-Pac and Jericho got something to say about that
04:40in this very impromptu match-up
04:42for the Intercontinental title.
04:44Well, X-Pac took that opportunity
04:46to get himself in a nice cheap shot.
04:48Oh, my!
04:49Jericho, no time to prepare for X-Pac.
04:50Go!
04:51And a hard clothesline.
04:52Over the top goes the challenger
04:54for the Intercontinental title.
04:55We are live here tonight
04:56and still awaiting the arrival
04:58of Springboard Dropkick.
05:00Great athletic move by Jericho.
05:02Dropkicking X-Pac right off the apron.
05:04We're awaiting the arrival of Vince McMahon,
05:06whose own daughter stabbed him in the back
05:08last night at Armageddon.
05:10I think X-Pac, all of a sudden,
05:12says he's had enough of this Intercontinental title match.
05:15Maybe Y2J's more of a man than X-Pac
05:19suspected when he came out here
05:21and made this challenge.
05:22Look at this!
05:23Oh, great dropkick.
05:24The dropkick, and Jericho straddled
05:26the top turnbuckle.
05:28That'll rock your roller.
05:31Even if you are the Ayatollah.
05:33Right.
05:34Oh!
05:35X-Pac has an opportunity here
05:37to walk out of this ring
05:38with the Intercontinental title
05:40here tonight, and again, King,
05:41I can't wait to see what
05:43Vince McMahon's reaction is going to be
05:45once he arrives here,
05:47and we see how he's going to react
05:50over last night's shocking incident
05:53with his own daughter.
05:54Shocking?
05:55His only daughter.
05:56That's putting it mildly, JR.
05:58I just can't imagine what's gone through
06:00his mind all night.
06:01What's going through their mind right now?
06:02Chyna and Miss Kitty.
06:04Well, you gotta believe that Chyna would love
06:06to take that Intercontinental title
06:08back away from Jericho.
06:09Nice Marcin Artz kick there by X-Pac
06:11that caught Jericho right in the temple
06:13and knocking down the new
06:15Intercontinental champion.
06:16Jericho has had the Intercontinental title
06:18less than 24 hours.
06:20I can't believe the title's on the line here.
06:22Now, you know how obsessed Jericho was
06:25with winning the title from Chyna.
06:27Oh, no!
06:28X-Pac looking for the Bronco Buster.
06:30Can you imagine what would happen
06:31if Jericho loses the title
06:32less than 24 hours later to X-Pac?
06:34He may snap.
06:35Right, may.
06:36Oh, hey!
06:37They may be checking him into the rubber room
06:39at the SmackDown Hotel.
06:41Looks like X-Pac's move.
06:42Jericho in the right hands,
06:44and X-Pac reverses the Irish whip.
06:46Very fast-paced matchup here.
06:48Knocked down by Jericho.
06:50Look out!
06:51And Jericho, the Acai Moonsault.
06:53Nice move!
06:54And a near fall.
06:56Great springboard effect there by Jericho.
06:59What is Chyna and Miss Kitty huddling about?
07:01They got some plan on their mind.
07:03You gotta believe those two ladies.
07:05Miss Kitty wants to huddle.
07:06She can come down here.
07:07Oh, wow!
07:08Spinning heel kick by X-Pac.
07:10Again, that caught Jericho right in the face.
07:13I think Jericho maybe knocked Loopy after that one.
07:16And X-Pac now on the second rope,
07:20but maybe spent too much time there.
07:22And now Jericho back on the attack.
07:25Oh, boy!
07:26Powerbomb.
07:27And now Jericho looking for his submission maneuver.
07:32And this is how he beat Chyna.
07:33Exactly.
07:34He had to tap out.
07:35The walls of Jericho.
07:36Hey, look at this!
07:38Here they come!
07:39X-Pac's got a little bit of a lead.
07:41Here they come!
07:42X-Pac trying to hold on.
07:44How much longer can X-Pac hold on?
07:46There's Chyna.
07:47What's he gonna do to Jericho?
07:48Chyna in the ring.
07:51And X-Pac is tapping out,
07:53but the referee doesn't see it.
07:55And Chyna just leveled the referee.
07:57Ding, ding, ding, ding.
08:00Referee's just calling for the bell here.
08:07X-Pac was tapping out.
08:09At least that's what I think he was doing, King.
08:11I couldn't tell, but I had my eyes on Chyna,
08:14and she decked him.
08:16Well, Jericho...
08:18The winner and still the World Wrestling Federation
08:21Intercontinental Champion, Chris Jericho!
08:26Well, X-Pac, I don't understand this.
08:30That didn't make sense.
08:31It certainly doesn't.
08:33I mean, Jericho had the match won, I think.
08:36Well, he did win it.
08:37I think.
08:39Just by the location, I assume.
08:41I don't understand exactly Chyna's motivation here.
08:44No more than I understood last night
08:46when she took Jericho's hand in the post-match match.
