05:00absolutely
05:00this is

05:26he didn't need no pukesters
05:27helping him here
05:29helping him there
05:30no but he was glad to have him wasn't he
05:32with his past year
05:33he did it his way

05:50the champion
05:51savage out of there
05:53in a hurry
05:54not wanting to tie up
05:56and macho's just using a psych out on him
05:59you don't sweat macho
06:01you don't question this guy's intestinal fortitude
06:05I did not question his intestinal fortitude
06:08looking for the accolades from this capacity crowd
06:13and not getting any
06:14holster cool comic collected
06:19he's been there before
06:20he knows what it's all about
06:22you're not going to psych him out either
06:24jess
06:25here we go
06:29the time for talk has ended
06:32absolutely
06:33power display by the big guy
06:37I expect that
06:38I expect that
06:39he's got macho outweighed
06:40but we'll see what happens when the aerial tactics come in
06:44they're still on their feet here as one
06:49they're still on their feet here as one
07:01side headlock by the champ
07:07see the champs trying to wrestle
07:09nice drop down
07:11by the hook and nails him with a shoulder block
07:15and savage slips right out underneath that bottom rope
07:19the champ's using his head
07:21certainly is
07:22he needed that break
07:23the champ's wrestling smart right now
07:26as old yogi says gorilla ain't over till it's over
07:30that's right
07:30and there ain't no point system in the pros
07:34absolutely not
07:35you don't get no riding timer
07:37why does he keep bad mouthed at elizabeth jess
07:40why did he leave her alone
07:41she deserves it
07:42she ought to be in his corner doing what she
07:44hey he took her to the top gorilla
07:47he also slapped her all around in the dressing room
07:50who the hell was elizabeth before she got with macho
07:53she was his manager
07:54how do you think he ever got a title shot
07:58not from her
07:59no huh
08:00obviously you wouldn't know you never had a manager
08:04I had a manager in 81
08:08classy freddie blassy
08:09yeah and he took your career right down the toilet
08:11oh it bails out once again
08:15he's trying to frustrate the humster
08:18hey
08:19this is like a cat and mouse game right here
08:22this is just cat and mouse
08:24oh come on and give me a break
08:28that's ridiculous and disgusting
08:32brilliant
08:33hey the champion pulls out all the stops gorilla
08:37if there's something there
08:38you can use to your advantage
08:40why not
08:41if it means knocking a woman down
08:43besides
08:44taking her out of the picture
08:45do it
08:46with what elizabeth has pulled
08:48hey a punch in the nose
08:49might not be so bad for her
08:50heppner trying to get both men inside
08:57once again and is successful
08:58I love it gorilla
08:59cat and mouse game here
09:01look at this
09:02tactics being used
09:04psych out being used
09:05this is what it's all about
09:06oh nice four move combination
09:09and the humster ends up with the front face lock
09:12this will take the starch out of you in a hurry
09:15oh yeah especially when you got 303 pounds leaning on you
09:19with his additional body weight
09:21but i'll tell you what
09:23i'll say in this bout the longer it goes
09:26i think the advantage switches to the macho man
09:28he's lighter
09:29he's quicker
09:30and i think he's got more stamina
09:31there's no question about that
09:33and look at that strength
09:34what a smooth there by the champ
09:37what a move of power by the macho man
09:40can he follow it up
09:41no and a holster out of there in a hurry
09:43and those are closed fists
09:47totally illegal
09:48and another one sends a champ down into canvas
09:52referees admonishing him about that jess
09:55yeah after the fact a little bit
09:57he should have stepped in and hooked the arm
09:59oh
09:59that's what i'd have did
10:01armoring her now by the challenger
10:03who come to the eye
10:05yeah
10:05why didn't he step in there and grab his arm when he did that
10:07didn't know it was coming

10:26and it was a good solid two counts
10:28i just caught donald trump chewing his nails
10:30outside the ring

10:32champ now going to work with an arm bar here
10:39look at him leaning in with that knee
