00:00:00At Judgment Day, we took the World Wrestling Federation Championship from The Rock.

00:00:21Tonight, we will simply take what's left.

00:00:26Four-on-one in this very ring.

00:00:31The Rock will be facing X-Pac and Road Dogg.

00:00:34Oh! There's a Rock! The Rock with a left height!

00:00:37The Rock is this man like DX!

00:00:39Shane McMahon.

00:00:41The Rock is covered to make a smackdown!

00:00:44The Rock is getting the hell out of Shane!

00:00:47And the WWF Champion, Triple H.

00:00:50Rock's still here and he's looking for me.

00:00:51I want to tell you what, Rock's gonna surprise because I'm not very hard to find.

00:00:54Triple H is being stalked by The Rock.

00:00:56We took the World Wrestling Federation Championship from The Rock.

00:01:00Tonight, we will simply take what's left.

00:01:05Vince, look out!

00:01:07Oh, The Rock!

00:01:08Playing the smackdown of Vince McMahon!

00:01:10What?

00:01:11The Rock is beating the hell out of the owner of the WWF!

00:01:15Vince!

00:01:16You son of a ****, you dare do this to me!

00:01:18I'm gonna get...

00:01:20Ah!

00:01:21Somebody's gonna get hurt badly before it's all over!

00:01:24Four-on-one is now one-on-one.

00:01:28Which brings The Rock to Triple H.

00:01:30Triple H, just bring it!

00:02:02No!

00:02:03The Rock got him!

00:02:04McMahon!

00:02:05The Rock got him!

00:02:07All the odds are too much!

00:02:09There's gotta be four or more here!

00:02:48The Rock destroying the monitors!

00:02:49Oh!

00:02:50It's now The Rock with the ring bell!

00:02:52The Rock is out of it!

00:02:53Terry Brie!

00:02:54On the...

00:02:55On this damn table!

00:02:56Wait, no!

00:02:57Oh!

00:02:58Oh, no!

00:02:59No!

00:03:00Oh!

00:03:01Oh, for God's sake!

00:03:02For the love of God!

00:03:03The Rock bar!

00:03:04Oh, no!

00:03:05Oh, no!

00:03:06Oh!

00:03:07Oh, no!

00:03:08Oh, no!

00:03:09The WWE champion has been broken!

00:03:10And has been beaten!

00:03:11The Rock!

00:03:12The People's Champion!

00:03:13He destroyed!

00:03:14The McMahon held the regime!

00:03:16And the war continues!

00:04:18The Undertaker shows up here tonight.

00:04:24I'm going to have his ass arrested for trespassing.

00:04:28So Mr. McMahon called the cops here to arrest The Undertaker.

00:04:33Let me just say this, okay?

00:04:35This is not going to be a repeat of Monday night.

00:04:38What's this?

00:04:42Wait a minute.

00:04:43It's The Undertaker.

00:04:44What the hell are you doing?

00:04:45What the hell are you doing?

00:04:51It's The Undertaker making a beeline for Mr. McMahon.

00:04:55Look out!

00:05:07Look out!

00:05:13Oh no!

00:05:15Get this captain out of here!

00:05:21Come on!

00:05:23King The Undertaker, hellbent on getting his hand down to McMahon.

00:05:49He's trying to run that's over!

00:05:54It's a motorcycle!

00:05:55He's got to need to be back there!

00:05:57Get The Undertaker!

00:05:59I'll tell you what, King.

00:06:00We hear the music from Mr. McMahon, but where is he?

00:06:04Anywhere is he?

00:06:05You're just going!

00:06:06He's trying to save his hide!

00:06:08If he comes out of that stairwell, The Undertaker is running down!

00:06:13There he is!

00:06:15And here comes the owner of the World Wrestling Federation, Mr. McMahon.

00:06:19We're getting high talent into the ring, which is filled with police officers.

00:06:24That's blowing well!

00:06:25And he goes!

00:06:26King Anderson's the return of The Undertaker.

00:06:28Four days ago at Judgment Day, The Undertaker has been putting McMahon counseling regime

00:06:34through a living hell.

00:06:35Judgment Day was such a great day for Vince McMahon, well, for the entire regime, and

00:06:41it's been straight downhill since.

00:06:44What do you think, King, based on the incidents of this past Monday Night on Raw, Mr. McMahon is

00:06:50running this fight security?

00:06:52Listen, listen.

00:06:54Please, can't you people see how distraught he is?

00:06:57Shut up!

00:06:58He was almost run down, Michael!

00:07:01I saw it.

00:07:02You stupid b****!

00:07:03Where were you?

00:07:04Did you see what The Undertaker tried to do to me?

00:07:07He tried to run me over, damn it!

00:07:09That's reckless endangerment!

00:07:11Well, that's not a good way to talk to the cops.

00:07:13I hired you to do a job here tonight!

00:07:16And you damn well, every one of you better do it!

00:07:20I'm reading the riot act for the cops.

00:07:23They deserve it.

00:07:24Look at that donut eater.

00:07:26You got bullets for that thing?

00:07:35Barney Fife, who better have?

00:07:36You men are armed.

00:07:40All right.

00:07:41All right, Undertaker!

00:07:43You're so big!

00:07:47You're so bad!

00:07:48Come on, Undertaker!

00:07:50I'm calling your ass out!

00:07:52Oh, boy!

00:07:53Mr. McMahon calling The Undertaker out!

00:07:56Get your guns out, you morons!

00:07:58Come on, Undertaker!

00:08:05Dammit!

00:08:06You get your ass out here!

00:08:09Now!

00:08:09He's talking big with all the cops in the ring, King, but he almost got run down by The Undertaker!

00:08:15Almost got run down, you're right!

00:08:16Undertaker, oh, no!

00:08:17You've done it now!

00:08:22He's coming out here!

00:08:24Did you ever doubt it?

00:08:27Give me one of those guys!

00:08:28You just want the world to turn around!

00:08:32This is the world that's broken up again!

00:08:35This is the end is now!

00:08:37This is gonna be a gentleman!

00:08:41The feet on The Undertaker!

00:08:46He got in on there, that motorcycle!

00:08:48He was using that motorcycle as a lethal weapon!

00:08:50I'll tell you what, cops are not!

00:08:53Mr. McMahon calling The Undertaker out of the ring may not have been a wise decision!

00:09:00It's The Undertaker and Mr. McMahon face to face in the ring!

00:09:05What are you waiting for?

00:09:05Shooting!

00:09:07Get your guns out!

00:09:13Mr. McMahon's right now, The Undertaker arrested him, he showed up on Raw on Monday night!

00:09:18Well, he showed up on Raw and he showed up here on SmackDown as well!

00:09:26Who the hell do you think you are?

00:09:32There you go!

00:09:32I could have been injured out there!

00:09:37You think you're playing some sort of a game, huh?

00:09:42You having fun, Undertaker?

00:09:46I think he is, but it's not funny!

00:09:48You think you're above the law, some badass who lives by his own rules, huh?

00:09:54I think he does!

00:09:56Well, there's a price to pay for that!

00:09:59And by God, you're gonna pay it right here tonight!

00:10:02Uh-oh, what's this price he's talking about?

00:10:07You know, before I have your ass arrested by these fine officers,

00:10:13and carted away in shackles, before I have that pleasure, I got something I gotta get off my chest!

00:10:25Oh boy, here we go!

00:10:26That's a big chest too, Michael!

00:10:28He's pretty brave with all those cops in there!

00:10:29Let me just say, that I was one of the happiest individuals, perhaps ever, last Sunday, at Judgment Day!

00:10:38It was a great day, all right!

00:10:42It was a great day for the entire faction!

00:10:45These people are so rude!

00:10:47Because when you decided to come down and interfere in the one-hour Iron Man match,

00:10:53you single-handedly cost The Rock the WWF Championship!

00:11:00You know, and that's exactly the truth, Michael!

00:11:03I must say, I'd rather enjoy that!

00:11:05Although, Triple H would've beat The Rock's butt, anyhow!

00:11:10No doubt!

00:11:11But, in any event, how does it feel to walk around and have on your head,

00:11:17you, The Undertaker, the reason why The Rock is no longer WWF Champion?

00:11:24Yeah!

00:11:24If I were you, Undertaker, I wouldn't be turning my back on The Rock anytime soon!

00:11:31That's good advice!

00:11:32Bullshit! Bullshit!

00:11:34Bullshit! Bullshit!

00:11:37Now, as far as last Monday night is concerned,

00:11:41you decided once again to make your presence felt.

00:11:45Well, I could've arrested you then for trespass.

00:11:49But you know what?

00:11:52It was just too sudden.

00:11:54I wasn't really prepared for you like I am here tonight.

00:11:56Let me remind you that you are not under contract to the WWF.

00:12:02You walked out on me, and nobody walks out on Vince McMahon!

00:12:06That was a breach of contract, a big one!

00:12:09Well, The Undertaker didn't walk out on Mr. McMahon.

00:12:12So, since you are no longer under contract, then you stand here in my ring,

00:12:19trespassing on my property.

00:12:23Uh-oh!

00:12:24That's against the law, too!

00:12:25Officers, arrest that man.

00:12:29Uh-oh!

00:12:31Wait a minute.

00:12:32Now, check this out, boss.

00:12:41This is the way it goes down.

00:12:45Do you ever talk to your old lady anymore?

00:12:50You're talking about Linda McMahon?

00:12:52That's his wife!

00:12:53The CEO of this company!

00:12:56Because if you did,

00:12:58you would know,

00:13:00before Judgment Day started,

00:13:02she signed me

00:13:04to a fat contract.

00:13:06Linda McMahon is struck again, King!

00:13:08How could she?

00:13:10She re-signed The Undertaker!

00:13:12What?

00:13:13She's the CEO!

00:13:14She does what she wants, King!

00:13:15And it breaks down like this.

00:13:18Lots of years,

00:13:20lots of zeros.

00:13:22Oh, my God!

00:13:23Vince's money!

00:13:25Going right in The Undertaker's pocket!

00:13:26Thanks to Linda!

00:13:28Now, I'm sure you're asking yourself,

00:13:31well, what the hell does that mean?

00:13:33Well, what that means is,

00:13:36you get the pleasure

00:13:38of paying me

00:13:40lots of money

00:13:42to kick your stank ass.

00:13:44Oh!

00:13:46He's got a point, King!

00:13:48Can he be arrested?

00:13:49He can't be arrested!

00:13:50He's under contract!

00:13:51He's not trespassing!

00:13:54That's not the amount of way!

00:13:55Uh, officers,

00:13:57if you wouldn't mind

00:13:58arresting The Undertaker

00:14:00on attempted vehicular homicide,

00:14:05which just took place!

00:14:07Take his ass away!

00:14:08Take his ass away now!

00:14:10I'm a witness!

00:14:12Attempted vehicular homicide!

00:14:13We all saw it!

00:14:14You got more witnesses

00:14:15than Jehovah!

00:14:16You saw it, Michael!

00:14:18Mr. McMahon,

00:14:19I'd be happy to arrest this man

00:14:20for attempted vehicular homicide.

00:14:23But if I do that,

00:14:24I'm going to have to arrest you, too.

00:14:26What?

00:14:27What?

00:14:27What did he do?

00:14:31On what grounds?

00:14:35Assaulting a police officer.

00:14:38Oh!

00:14:39Oh, wow!

00:14:41I can't...

00:14:42I suggest that you two

00:14:44work your problems out

00:14:46on your own.

00:14:47Oh, my God!

00:14:48Look at him!

00:14:48Oh, hell!

00:14:49Oh, it's just like...

00:14:50It's just like a bunch of cops!

00:14:53Get back here!

00:14:54It's just like a bunch of cops!

00:14:56I hired your ass to do a job!

00:14:58Damn it!

00:14:59Come back here!

00:15:00You're on my payroll here tonight!

00:15:02Look at him!

00:15:03I hired your ass to do a job!

00:15:05Mr. McMahon's left alone in the room!

00:15:06You leave me there!

00:15:08Oh, my gosh!

00:15:09Face to face with The Undertaker!

00:15:12This is a fate worse than death!

00:15:15Think of something quick, Vince.

00:15:17Think of something!

00:15:18I'm sure the line's turning,

00:15:20but it may not get him out of this one.

00:15:21Look at these people, they're sadistic!

00:15:26Look at the Undertaker's got Mr. McMahon!

00:15:33Mr. McMahon's gonna go for a ride!

00:15:35Come back, Pat!

00:15:36Wait a minute!

00:15:36Shadding you to the chair in the back of The Undertaker!

00:15:39Damn the Diagonkiller!

00:15:41No offense!

00:15:41No offense at all!

00:15:43And the McMahons are hitting out of Dodge!

00:15:46That's Vince!

00:15:49The Undertaker's not leaving Kane!

00:15:51I can guarantee you, it's gone from over!

00:15:56The Undertaker's not through with the McMahon's halfway faction!

00:15:59This is gonna be a hell of a night King on SmackDown!

00:16:04It's been a wild night already here on SmackDown!

00:16:06Mr. McMahon was hell-benton having The Undertaker arrested!

00:16:08But he can't because The Undertaker's under contract!

00:16:10Oh, you got that right!

00:16:11Linda McMahon has signed The Undertaker to do a big fat contract!

00:16:15And then he was gonna do a number on Vince, but thank goodness!

00:16:19Shane the Giant Killer showed up!

00:16:21I can guarantee you, King!

00:16:23This is far, far from over!

00:16:25This is far, far from over!

00:16:27And then he was gonna do a number on Vince, but thank goodness!

00:16:31The Undertaker's so much!

00:16:33As he's staring at Mr. McMahon and his son Shane running back up the ramp!

00:16:35The Undertaker to win!

00:16:37And then he was gonna do a number on Vince, but thank goodness!

00:16:39The Undertaker's under contract!

00:16:40Oh, you got that right!

00:16:41Linda McMahon has signed The Undertaker to do a big fat contract!

00:16:43And then he was gonna do a number on Vince, but thank goodness!

00:16:45Shane The Giant Killer showed up!

00:16:47I can guarantee you, King!

00:16:49This is far, far from over here tonight on SmackDown!

00:16:51Did you see the look from The Undertaker?

00:16:53As he's staring at Mr. McMahon and his son Shane running back up the ramp!

00:16:59The Undertaker toying!

00:17:00toying with the regime here tonight.

00:17:03Spence has got to figure some kind of way

00:17:04to get The Undertaker out of here tonight.

00:17:07Well, here come the Tag Team Champion,

00:17:09Dejan Christian.

00:17:10We heard earlier on today, Channing,

00:17:11that they've issued an open challenge

00:17:13to any team here in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:17:15But don't worry yet on who's accepted.

00:17:18Well, I've got this.

00:17:19This is the 4-1 ball.

00:17:20And it is for the World Wrestling Federation

00:17:22and the Champions.

00:17:25In the ring from Toronto, Canada,

00:17:26at a combined weight of 455 pounds,

00:17:30there are the World Wrestling Federation

00:17:32Tag Team Champions,

00:17:35Christian and Edge.

00:17:37Well, thank goodness, Michael,

00:17:38on this dark, dark night.

00:17:40Finally, a ray of sunshine.

00:17:42Christian and Edge.

00:17:43Maybe that ray is just a gleam

00:17:45off of Edge's teeth.

00:17:46We wanted to inform all of our great fans.

00:17:53Well, they love these guys.

00:17:55They're like rock stars.

00:17:57That earlier tonight,

00:17:59Christian and myself

00:18:01issued an open challenge

00:18:03to any team here

00:18:04in the World Wrestling Federation

00:18:06that we haven't beaten.

00:18:08Wow.

00:18:09But come to think of it,

00:18:12we've already beaten everybody.

00:18:14Hey, that's right.

00:18:15You know, Edge,

00:18:16as usual,

00:18:18you're seldom wrong

00:18:19and right again.

00:18:21I mean, we are so lacking competition.

00:18:24What about the Headbangers

00:18:26or Kai and Ty?

00:18:28Yeah.

00:18:29Whatever happened to the Moondogs?

00:18:31Where have they been?

00:18:32Moondogs?

00:18:32And how many Doinks are left, anyway?

00:18:35Doinks?

00:18:36I don't know.

00:18:37With Dinks?

00:18:38That include Dinks?

00:18:38That's a good question.

00:18:40Yeah.

00:18:40That's a good question.

00:18:41I don't know.

00:18:42Those guys still around

00:18:43doing some things?

00:18:43Mamacita.

00:18:44What?

00:18:46Mamacita?

00:18:49Mamacita?

00:18:51Candy?

00:18:52Do you think

00:18:53Eddie and Chyna

00:18:55are going to take

00:18:56Edge and Christian

00:18:57up on the challenge?

00:19:00I don't know.

00:19:03Why else would they be

00:19:04coming out here?

00:19:05Well, obviously,

00:19:06Edge and Christian

00:19:06are not too pleased

00:19:08with the arrival

00:19:10of Eddie Guerrero

00:19:11in China.

00:19:13Oh, and those

00:19:13Fatal Flowers.

00:19:14Don't forget

00:19:14those flowers.

00:19:16Edge is beside himself.

00:19:18Tag team titles

00:19:19are on the line, folks.

00:19:21It's going to be

00:19:22Edge and Christian

00:19:23again.

00:19:23Eddie Guerrero,

00:19:24the European champion

00:19:25in his mamacita, China.

00:19:27Oh, Latino!

00:19:28Jeez!

00:19:29Well, it's been a great

00:19:30week thus far

00:19:30for Eddie Guerrero,

00:19:32successfully defending

00:19:33the European Championship

00:19:34at Judgment Day.

00:19:35And then again on Raw

00:19:36this past Monday night.

00:19:38They wrap,

00:19:39check those flowers.

00:19:42Mamacita!

00:19:43She threw the flowers

00:19:43out to the ground!

00:19:45And China wonderful

00:19:46on the season finale

00:19:47of Third Rock from the Sun.

00:19:50She can do it all.

00:19:53Yeah?

00:19:54Really?

00:19:56Is that why

00:19:56they call it

00:19:56Latino Heat?

00:19:58No, they call

00:19:59any Latino Heat

00:20:00it's Mamacita.

00:20:01So here we go.

00:20:03Tag title's on the line.

00:20:04Edge set to lock up

00:20:05center of the ring

00:20:06with Eddie Guerrero.

00:20:07I can guarantee you

00:20:08this, King.

00:20:09The Undertaker isn't

00:20:10going anywhere tonight.

00:20:11And who knows

00:20:12what's going to happen next.

00:20:14You've got to believe

00:20:15The Undertaker

00:20:15is not going to like

00:20:16the McMahon-Helfry faction.

00:20:18Go Splitsville

00:20:19with SmackDown tonight.

00:20:21Well, all I can tell you

00:20:21is that

00:20:22if Vince is backed

00:20:23into a corner now

00:20:24he is going to have

00:20:24to think of something.

00:20:26He's going to have

00:20:26to think of some way

00:20:27to...

00:20:28I don't know

00:20:28by The Undertaker.

00:20:29Get him out of here!

00:20:31What a clothesline

00:20:31by Giant.

00:20:32And here's another

00:20:33little wrinkle

00:20:33to throw into this, Kent.

00:20:34The Rock is scheduled

00:20:36here tonight

00:20:36on SmackDown as well.

00:20:38Why don't you just

00:20:39shut up

00:20:39and call this match?

00:20:40Look at that!

00:20:40Oh, what a maneuver!

00:20:41Eddie Guerrero

00:20:41up over the top.

00:20:43Head first

00:20:43into the gut of Edge.

00:20:44Another, what a maneuver!

00:20:45Yeah!

00:20:45Oh!

00:20:47Track kick

00:20:48from behind.

00:20:49Hacking Christian

00:20:50off the apron.

00:20:51Agent Christian

00:20:52the tag team

00:20:53title holders!

00:20:55Yeah, but they've never

00:20:56faced Medina again.

00:20:56Eddie Guerrero

00:20:57in a kick out

00:20:58after two.

00:20:59They were hoping

00:20:59for Doink and Deke.

00:21:01China's been

00:21:02Intercontinental Champion

00:21:03and the tag team champion

00:21:04here tonight.

00:21:05Christian pulling

00:21:06the ropes down.

00:21:09What startling news,

00:21:10The Undertaker

00:21:11has been signed

00:21:12to a brand new contract.

00:21:16I mean, think about

00:21:17what Linda McMahon's

00:21:18done over the past

00:21:18couple of months, King.

00:21:19She brought back

00:21:20Mick Foley at Wrestlemania.

00:21:22She brought back

00:21:22Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:21:24Linda brought back

00:21:24Shawn Michaels

00:21:25and now she's re-signed

00:21:26The Undertaker

00:21:27with a brand new contract.

00:21:28I think Vince,

00:21:29instead of buying her diamonds,

00:21:30he might ought to

00:21:31buy her some therapy

00:21:32or a psychologist

00:21:34or something.

00:21:35Something's wrong

00:21:35in Linda's head.

00:21:36Nice standing

00:21:37drop kick by Edge

00:21:38and Eddie Guerrero,

00:21:39the European champion

00:21:40in all kinds of trouble,

00:21:41trying to get

00:21:42back to the corner

00:21:42to make a tag to Chyna.

00:21:43But Mamacito,

00:21:45backbreaker

00:21:45by Christian.

00:21:48And Christian

00:21:49with a blatant chokehold

00:21:50in front of the referee.

00:21:52I'm wondering if,

00:21:53I want to see if Mamacito

00:21:54can really hold it on

00:21:54with these tag team champions.

00:21:57Chyna drawn into the ring.

00:21:58She can hold my open glove,

00:21:59but that's another story.

00:22:01Allows Edge

00:22:01with a cheap shot

00:22:02and Eddie Guerrero.

00:22:03Christian still in control

00:22:04of Guerrero.

00:22:05Tag team titles

00:22:06on the line

00:22:06by Guerrero.

00:22:08And Christian popped out of it

00:22:10and Eddie Guerrero

00:22:11and Eddie Guerrero

00:22:18tries to make a tag.

00:22:19And here comes Chyna.

00:22:22And it goes into Edge

00:22:23and a forearm to Christian.

00:22:25And Chyna's cleaning house.

00:22:28Look at this.

00:22:28And a spear by Edge.

00:22:44And a double low blow.

00:22:47A double low blow.

00:22:49And a spear by Edge.

00:22:57Spear by Edge on Chyna draws

00:22:58Eddie Guerrero.

00:23:02You gotta admit,

00:23:02Chyna got what she deserved there.

00:23:04Eddie Guerrero

00:23:05tossed out of the ring.

00:23:07Chyna's still down

00:23:07after the spear from Edge.

00:23:09And look at the double team

00:23:12by the tag team champions.

00:23:13And Chyna's lucky.

00:23:14This is every girl's dreams.

00:23:15And look at Edge

00:23:16hammering away

00:23:16with the right hand

00:23:17to Chyna.

00:23:18To have Edge and Christian

00:23:18together.

00:23:19A blatant double team.

00:23:21The referee calls

00:23:22for the bell

00:23:22after being shoved.

00:23:24What?

00:23:26And look at Edge

00:23:26still hammering away.

00:23:27As a result of a disqualification,

00:23:31Chyna and Eddie Guerrero.

00:23:33Chyna and Eddie Guerrero

00:23:34win the match

00:23:35fighting the disqualification.

00:23:37Christian, the tag team title gold

00:23:39went for Chyna.

00:23:40Look at this.

00:23:42Double team.

00:23:43Look at it.

00:23:44Guerrero and Chyna.

00:23:47What a team.

00:23:48Christian went for Chyna

00:23:49tied with the championship gold.

00:23:52Latino team.

00:23:53But Guerrero and Chyna counter.

00:23:57What a woman.

00:24:00Edge and Christian

00:24:01still the tag team champions.

00:24:03Those handsome young Canadians.

00:24:05The loaded effort

00:24:06by Chyna and Eddie Guerrero.

00:24:07Hey.

00:24:09I'm so mad at these guys

00:24:11who's been

00:24:11dumb, jerk,

00:24:13maniacalized.

00:24:15Sean.

00:24:16I thought you locked the door.

00:24:17I did lock the door.

00:24:18What are you doing?

00:24:21Nothing.

00:24:22None of your darn business.

00:24:23Hey, son.

00:24:24You can't go around

00:24:25doing things like that in public.

00:24:26I thought you learned

00:24:27your lesson right now,

00:24:28you little chihuahua.

00:24:28Don't make me beat your little...

00:24:30Hey, hey, hey.

00:24:30He's the only kid.

00:24:31I think he's learned his lesson.

00:24:32He's right.

00:24:33I have learned my lesson,

00:24:34Mr. Bradshaw.

00:24:34I have.

00:24:35Me and you,

00:24:35we got mutual respect.

00:24:37We're warriors,

00:24:37me and you.

00:24:38I want the little guy.

00:24:39I told you he's crazy.

00:24:40Hold on, son.

00:24:41Come over here.

00:24:42Sit on my lap.

00:24:42I've got a story for you.

00:24:44When I was a boy,

00:24:44I remember when I was

00:24:45about 14 years of age.

00:24:46I'll show you 14 in the ring!

00:24:52Damn.

00:24:53Remember,

00:24:56he's just a boy!

00:25:03Kill him!

00:25:05Relax and sit down

00:25:06for a second.

00:25:07Just sit down.

00:25:07You need to relax.

00:25:08I'm not gonna relax.

00:25:10Let me tell you what.

00:25:12I want you to go.

00:25:13I want you to go

00:25:14to the back of the building

00:25:15and keep your eyes open

00:25:17on the rock.

00:25:18Let me tell you this.

00:25:22The moment that

00:25:23that SOB rock arrives,

00:25:26I want to know about it.

00:25:27Yes, sir.

00:25:28We're going with you.

00:25:29Whoa, whoa, Jerry, Jerry.

00:25:30Also, keep your eyes

00:25:31on the Undertaker.

00:25:33You got it.

00:25:33Okay?

00:25:33Watch out for that guy.

00:25:35Well, that'd be an assignment

00:25:35I'd want, King.

00:25:36What?

00:25:37Look for the rock

00:25:38and look out

00:25:39for the Undertaker.

00:25:40By yourself.

00:25:41Well, see,

00:25:42here's something

00:25:43you wouldn't know

00:25:43anything about.

00:25:44It's called courage.

00:25:45And Frisco's a loyal,

00:25:47well, he's a loyal service.

00:25:49Falling is a hardcore match

00:25:51scheduled for one fall.

00:25:53Big E's wearing the ring

00:25:54being accompanied

00:25:55by Bradshaw.

00:25:56He weighs it in 278 pounds.

00:25:59One half of the Acolytes

00:26:01from Woof.

00:26:02Well, King,

00:26:03you're talking about courage.

00:26:04I'll tell you

00:26:04who has a lot of courage.

00:26:06Crash Holly has a lot of courage

00:26:07as we're joining

00:26:08ringside now by Bradshaw.

00:26:10And Bradshaw,

00:26:10let's take a look

00:26:11at what just happened

00:26:12a few moments ago.

00:26:13What is up with Crash Holly

00:26:15pouring a beer,

00:26:15basically,

00:26:16in the face of Peru?

00:26:17Hey, I'll tell you,

00:26:18I have no idea

00:26:18that kid is never gonna learn.

00:26:20I'll tell you what,

00:26:20I'll show you 14 in the ring.

00:26:23What's wrong with him?

00:26:25He's gonna play for that.

00:26:27You know King

00:26:28got off of your beer

00:26:29but only got six.

00:26:29I'm sorry.

00:26:31He's only got cigars.

00:26:32What do you got for Mike?

00:26:33I had a glass of milk

00:26:34but I don't drink milk.

00:26:35Sorry.

00:26:37I'll tell you what,

00:26:38this kid's got a lot of heart.

00:26:39A lot of heart.

00:26:42Maybe not too many brains.

00:26:44It's a hard core match.

00:26:45And Crash Holly breaking a two by four

00:26:48over the back of Farouk.

00:26:49And here we go.

00:26:50You better go back to the little Chihuahua.

00:26:52He saw you.

00:26:53I'll tell you, Bradshaw,

00:26:54you thought Crash Holly

00:26:55would have learned his lesson

00:26:56after the butt whooping you put on him

00:26:57on Monday of the morning.

00:26:58That was pretty, wasn't it?

00:27:00I'll tell you this,

00:27:01Farouk's had bigger bowel movements

00:27:02than Crash Holly.

00:27:03He's gonna kill him.

00:27:04Bigger bowel movements.

00:27:05I'll never get through

00:27:06the six beers in this match.

00:27:08Well, you gotta admit,

00:27:09Crash is kind of a little,

00:27:10he's so sure you can see his feet

00:27:12in his driver's license photo.

00:27:14Look out.

00:27:15Crash walked out.

00:27:17You know, Bradshaw,

00:27:18Crash Holly claimed on Raw Money

00:27:19that you guys didn't put in

00:27:20the full hour to protect him.

00:27:22Put in the full hour?

00:27:23We put more than a full hour in.

00:27:25We're not giving his money back to him.

00:27:26Idiot.

00:27:27He slapped our money back.

00:27:27Not here, not here, Farouk,

00:27:29you're gonna spit on my beer.

00:27:30No, no, no, no, no.

00:27:30You're gonna spit on my beer.

00:27:31You're gonna spit on my beer.

00:27:32What a clothesline.

00:27:36That was close.

00:27:37He could have spilled my beer.

00:27:39What is he thinking?

00:27:41We couldn't have that happen.

00:27:43I think Farouk's hungry

00:27:45because I think he's fixing to eat Crash.

00:27:48That would just be a snack.

00:27:49Bradshaw, I mean, you gotta,

00:27:50no!

00:27:51Oh, my God!

00:27:53You gotta give Crash a hand.

00:27:55I mean, the guy's got some courage

00:27:56and guts as the cover is,

00:27:57and it's over.

00:27:58I knew I wouldn't get through

00:27:59with my six beers.

00:28:00Why couldn't he take some time?

00:28:02All I got through was one.

00:28:03That's right.

00:28:04What is he thinking?

00:28:05Well, Farouk makes a quick workout,

00:28:07Crash Holley.

00:28:08That's it, I'm going to barb.

00:28:11Okay, we gotta take another look at this.

00:28:13Watch Farouk.

00:28:14Crash, Crash,

00:28:16through the trash container.

00:28:17I've never seen anything like this much.

00:28:20Oh, boy, boy!

00:28:22That birth control for you right there.

00:28:24Well, he said he's got a lot of guts,

00:28:25but I don't know how many brain cells

00:28:27that Crash Holley has left.

00:28:28Bradshaw, for real quick,

00:28:31because of the- Hey, it's Gerald Briscoe.

00:28:34He's got to be shaking like a leaf king.

00:28:36Don't look at your watch.

00:28:37Watch for The Undertaker and The Rock.

00:28:39The Undertaker's still lurking somewhere here on SmackDown.

00:28:42And Briscoe's waiting for The Rock.

00:28:44Who's got behind you?

00:28:46Look out!

00:28:47And now, the WWF Slam of the Week brought to you by the new Midas.

00:28:52We're a whole new way to keep a good thing going.

00:28:55Go Midas.

00:28:56What the hell?

00:28:57There's Hardcore Holley with a steel chair.

00:28:59Yeah.

00:28:59My God, he went right to big wall.

00:29:02What the hell we got now?

00:29:03That's Jericho's music.

00:29:04Look, there's Jericho from behind.

00:29:06Woo!

00:29:07And Jericho just knocked out Hardcore Holley.

00:29:10Man, that one's a shot to the head.

00:29:13Well, who's this now, King?

00:29:15What do you mean, who's this?

00:29:15Who do you think?

00:29:16It's gotta be The Rock.

00:29:17Look out, Briscoe.

00:29:18Well, Briscoe was sent out to look for The Rock,

00:29:20wait for The Rock's arrival,

00:29:22so he can report back to Mr. McMahon.

00:29:24Don't tell him now, quick!

00:29:28That's not The Rock.

00:29:29It's a champ.

00:29:31Triple H and his wife, Stephanie.

00:29:35What?

00:29:37What the- Is he okay?

00:29:39He's okay, he's in his office right now.

00:29:41Can you take us to him?

00:29:42Take us in, Jerry, let's go.

00:29:43Come on, take us in, come on.

00:29:44Okay.

00:29:45Let's go, he'll be all right.

00:29:47I can't believe this.

00:29:50Maybe The Game will get things straightened out.

00:29:54Uh-oh, hold your ears.

00:29:57He said maybe The Game can get things straightened out, King.

00:30:00Somebody gonna get things straightened out.

00:30:02The Undertaker's still here, and The Rock is on his way to SmackDown.

00:30:08Don't remind me.

00:30:09This is bad enough with this idiot Jericho here.

00:30:12Y2J, Chris Jericho.

00:30:18At Judgment Day, losing the submission match to Chris Benoit.

00:30:22Despite the fact he never tapped out to the Crippler of Raw Space King,

00:30:26he passed out.

00:30:27Right.

00:30:28That's even better.

00:30:29He fainted from sheer fear and pain.

00:30:32He never gave in.

00:30:34Oh, look at that sign.

00:30:35He never tapped out.

00:30:36He never submitted.

00:30:38And if Y2J could win this upcoming matchup, he'll have another shot at the Intercontinental Championship Monday Night on Raw.

00:30:46Oh, my gosh.

00:30:48Oh, my gosh.

00:30:49This match tonight is supposedly to see who the number one contender is for the Intercontinental Championship.

00:31:00Right?

00:31:00What about that?

00:31:02Don't you understand?

00:31:03Y2J contends that in the eyes of every single Jericho-holic...

00:31:09I am still the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla, and I am still...

00:31:18Well, the Ayatollah's been interrupted.

00:31:21Yeah.

00:31:22You're interrupted.

00:31:23For a triple-crite match, he's going to go for one fall.

00:31:26Taking his right away from Mobile, Alabama, weighing in an allegedly well over 400 pounds hardcore holly.

00:31:36Can you believe that?

00:31:39Reef insurance, interrupt us.

00:31:41Holy.

00:31:44And taking his right away from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in.

00:31:51Now, look out.

00:31:52Here we go.

00:31:53Holly and Jericho hammering away at each other.

00:31:55Valvinas into the ring.

00:31:57Dang, this is a triple-threat matchup.

00:31:59They didn't even get to announce, Valvinas and Luka all zeroing in on...

00:32:02And the first man to pick up a pinfall in this contest will move to Raw Monday night

00:32:08and get a shot at the Intercontinental Champion.

00:32:10Oh, man.

00:32:11And Jericho and Valvinas with a double-team on Hardcore Holly.

00:32:15Get out of there, Hardcore!

00:32:16You know, Hardcore Holly wanted to be noticed, King.

00:32:18He wanted to get back into the Intercontinental title race.

00:32:21Yikes!

00:32:22Look, here's a cover by Valvinas and a kick-out after two.

00:32:26Here's a cover by Jericho.

00:32:28Val and Jericho worked together for a couple of seconds, but it's all over now.

00:32:32Chris Benoit, the Intercontinental Champion,

00:32:34will put the title on the line later tonight against Kurt Angle.

00:32:37The winner of that matchup will face the winner of this matchup Monday night on Raw.

00:32:42You gotta admit, Benoit is probably the finest, fighting his champion.

00:32:45Man!

00:32:46He is that as Hardcore Holly starts to clean house.

00:32:49Hardcore Holly has been pulling his way back into this Intercontinental title race, King.

00:32:54He's tough.

00:32:56Oh, man!

00:32:57He's tough as a jerk.

00:32:59Val just went limp.

00:33:00Here's a cover, hook of the leg, two, and Chris Jericho just breaks up the three-count.

00:33:04That's unusual for Val.

00:33:05Come on!

00:33:06And Y2J, Chris Jericho, hell-bent, getting another shot at the Intercontinental title.

00:33:12With wicked chops to the chest by Hardcore Holly.

00:33:16They are wicked.

00:33:17Ooh!

00:33:19We saw the arrival of Triple H, the champ, is here.

00:33:22Nice drop toe-hole by Jericho.

00:33:24And hammers her way on Hardcore Holly.

00:33:26Look at all these Jericho-holics with chant going.

00:33:29They need to go to J.A. Anonymous.

00:33:31Oh!

00:33:32Jericho tossing the second rope, allows Val Venus to take control of Hardcore Holly.

00:33:35What do you think Triple H has to say, King, about The Undertaker's hit-and-run attack on Mr. McMahon earlier on?

00:33:41I don't know what he'll have to say, but at least, at least Vince has an ally here now.

00:33:45Ooh!

00:33:46Look at this fisherman's duplexed by Val Venus, hooks the leg.

00:33:48There's two, and again Jericho breaks up the three-count.

00:33:51He draws Val out of the ring of the barricade.

00:33:54Look at him!

00:33:56Oh, watch it, Val!

00:33:57Look out!

00:33:59Ooh, man!

00:34:00Baseball slide.

00:34:01Bodies are flying everywhere.

00:34:02Look at Val Venus.

00:34:03Val Venus had a shot at Chris Benoit on Raw Monday night.

00:34:08Hardcore Holly spoiled Val Venus' Intercontinental title plans.

00:34:12Oh!

00:34:13And a good steel post!

00:34:14Goes Hardcore Holly, and Jericho follows it up with a clothesline.

00:34:18He's flying everywhere!

00:34:23Gonna detect the care.

00:34:25What do you think's gonna happen later on if The Undertaker decides to reappear?

00:34:29He's still here, you know.

00:34:31You know he'll reappear.

00:34:33He's a big bully!

00:34:35What about when The Rock gets here?

00:34:37When he went to Raw 2, I forgot about that!

00:34:39And look at Raw 2, Jay!

00:34:41With a missile drop, kick off the second rope, cover, here's the hook of the leg.

00:34:44There's two when Val Venus kicks out before the count of three.

00:34:47Get in there, Hardcore!

00:34:48You almost lost your shot at being the number one contender!

00:34:51Again, first person on the ring.

00:34:53He's gonna win a pinfall, wins this matchup, gets a shot at the Intercontinental Champion on Raw.

00:34:58And who will that Intercontinental Champion be King?

00:35:00Kurt Angle or Chris Benoit?

00:35:02We'll find out later on on SmackDown.

00:35:05And Jericho and Hardcore Holly exchanging clothes, and rink of the eye by Hardcore Holly.

00:35:10It'll be a shame to see either one of those guys lose, either Benoit or Kurt Angle.

00:35:15The Undertaker has been re-signed to a brand new contract by Vince McMahon,

00:35:22Vince McMahon's wife, Linda McMahon, the CEO of this company, as Linda McMahon continues to drive a stake right into the chest of her husband.

00:35:31Here's a cover by Val, and a kick out by Hardcore Holly.

00:35:34She is really haunting Vince. I just...

00:35:37Do you think they just don't talk much?

00:35:40Obviously, they don't.

00:35:41It's been four days, and Vince still didn't know. The Undertaker was signed to a brand new deal.

00:35:46After this, if you're Vince, at what point do you consider a divorce?

00:35:52Look at this.

00:35:53Maybe at least a trial separation.

00:35:55Cover by Jericho.

00:35:57And once again, Val Venis breaks up the three count.

00:36:00He's gonna have to do something Vince is, I'm gonna tell you.

00:36:05Linda's overstepping her bounce.

00:36:07We talked about it earlier.

00:36:09Linda's brought back over the past few months to drive that stake further into Mr. McMahon's chest.

00:36:15I know, don't talk about, please don't say anything about Nick Coley.

00:36:18No!

00:36:19Steve Austin.

00:36:20I know it.

00:36:21Shawn Michaels.

00:36:22The Undertaker!

00:36:24Shut up, call the match!

00:36:25What a feel by Val Venis.

00:36:26And Val Venis in control of this triple threat matchup.

00:36:29Y2J, Hardcore Holly misses the close line.

00:36:32But with the crossbody, arrow pressed Val Venis from the elbow as Jericho moves out of the way.

00:36:37Oh, look out, Val.

00:36:39Look out, Val in trouble.

00:36:41Pull up on the top rope.

00:36:43Yeah, but nobody has a, they may do an offensive move, but they don't have a .

00:36:48Chris Jericho, you know, all three of these men have been .

00:36:53They would love to win the title again after the Bulldog by Jericho.

00:36:57And the elbow to Hardcore Holly.

00:36:59I know Jericho's walking tall right now, but for my money, the toughest guy in this ring is Hardcore Holly.

00:37:05What a dropkick, what agility by Chris Jericho.

00:37:09Well, there's another one in the ring.

00:37:11Here's a dropkick for you.

00:37:13A dropkick with authority by Hardcore Holly.

00:37:15A textbook dropkick.

00:37:17Anybody out there at home thinking about dropkicking, that's the way you do it.

00:37:20Jericho whipped into the ropes, Hardcore Holly misses right hand.

00:37:23Vince may have to dropkick with him.

00:37:26My God!

00:37:27Hardcore Holly in a world of trouble.

00:37:30Jericho trying to powerbomb Hardcore right out of the ring on the floor.

00:37:34Look what he's trying to do, King.

00:37:35This is illegal.

00:37:36Referee's on the ropes.

00:37:37That's a version of the walls of Jericho.

00:37:40Locked in at Hardcore Holly.

00:37:42But if this Indian referee's the way he's got on the ropes, you gotta bring up.

00:37:45Val Venis.

00:37:47Beautiful.

00:37:48From behind.

00:37:49I'll tell you what, if that referee lets that go one more second, I'd have to get up there and broken that homus up.

00:37:53Yeah, sure.

00:37:54Jericho tossed into the turnbuckle by Val Venis.

00:37:57Rob!

00:37:58Val Venis taking advantage.

00:38:00Yeah, sure.

00:38:01The stakes are high in this matchup.

00:38:03Winner gets a shot at the Intercontinental title.

00:38:05Val Venis could win it here.

00:38:07There's two.

00:38:08Jericho gets the shoulder up.

00:38:10What's wrong with you, Rob?

00:38:12Hard three.

00:38:13Hardcore Holly still writhing in pain outside the ring right in front of us.

00:38:17Val Venis in control of Jericho.

00:38:19I think this referee has a hit and rank.

00:38:22Nobody home.

00:38:23Chris Jericho.

00:38:24The lion sucks.

00:38:25It could be all but it's Hardcore.

00:38:28There's two.

00:38:29Hardcore Holly on the top rope.

00:38:32And Hardcore Holly with the cover.

00:38:34Hardcore Holly picks up the win.

00:38:38Here is your winner, Hardcore Holly.

00:38:43Hardcore Holly will meet the Intercontinental Champion King by the night on Raw.

00:38:47But who it will be, Chris Benoit or Kurt Angle?

00:38:50They meet later on on SmackDown.

00:38:52No matter what.

00:38:53That's going to be a great match by the night Hardcore Holly going after the Intercontinental title.

00:38:58I'll be alright.

00:38:59I can't believe you ran.

00:39:00You tried to run me over again.

00:39:01Tried me.

00:39:02Tried to run me over.

00:39:03I'll be alright.

00:39:04But all I know is we're going to get even.

00:39:05Oh you bet we are.

00:39:06With that son of a b**** tonight.

00:39:07Oh you bet we are.

00:39:08We're going to get him.

00:39:09I got an unbelievable sinus headache.

00:39:10Mr. McGrath.

00:39:11Mr McGrath.

00:39:12Mr McGrath.

00:39:13Mr McGrath.

00:39:14I was just told that The Rock's on his way.

00:39:15He'll be here shortly.

00:39:16Who is?

00:39:17The Rock.

00:39:18He's on his way.

00:39:19The Rock's on his way here?

00:39:20Yes.

00:39:21Just relax.

00:39:22Don't take this personally.

00:39:23I've got this all right.

00:39:24This is the hell with that.

00:39:25No no.

00:39:26This has been a very bad evening.

00:39:27Okay for me.

00:39:28And I'm going to wind it up the way I want to.

00:39:29Alright.

00:39:30Now let me handle this.

00:39:31I don't want to anger The Rock.

00:39:32Believe it or not.

00:39:33I know what I'm doing.

00:39:34Alright.

00:39:35I know what I'm doing.

00:39:36I'll handle The Rock.

00:39:37Daddy.

00:39:38No.

00:39:39I want to, all right?

00:39:40Now, let me handle this.

00:39:42I don't want to anger The Rock, believe it or not.

00:39:45What the hell with The Rock?

00:39:45I know what I'm doing, all right?

00:39:47Daddy, please don't.

00:39:47I know what I'm doing, all right?

00:39:49He's got a play.

00:39:50I'll handle The Rock.

00:39:50Daddy.

00:39:51No, Steph, he's got a play.

00:39:52How beat is that?

00:39:54And now, the high-energy snack of the night,

00:39:56brought to you by MetaCuts from MetaForm,

00:39:59the science of building a better body.

00:40:01There's The Rock.

00:40:02The Rock's behind this McMahon.

00:40:04It's fast, look up.

00:40:05The Rock is beating the hell.

00:40:07Out of the owner of the W-W-W.

00:40:10I'm going to have to kill you.

00:40:11Will you get this out of here?

00:40:13You son of a care to do this to me?

00:40:16I'm going to get me a lift here.

00:40:21Let's go.

00:40:23You sure Rock's out here?

00:40:25I was told, Mr. McMahon, he's right out here.

00:40:27This is his car.

00:40:28Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:40:29Whoa.

00:40:31Hold it right there, pal.

00:40:34Rock.

00:40:35Hang on a second.

00:40:35No, no.

00:40:36No, no, this is not what you think.

00:40:39Rock, this is not what you think.

00:40:41I'm not looking for trouble tonight.

00:40:43I'm not looking for trouble.

00:40:45I've had enough trouble for one night.

00:40:47You don't even know what's happening here to me.

00:40:49All right, now, look.

00:40:50I know we've had our differences in the past.

00:40:52I understand that.

00:40:54And you should know, I know you're angry with me.

00:40:58But The Undertaker, wait a minute.

00:41:00The Undertaker,

00:41:00he's the reason why you're not the WWF champion.

00:41:05The Undertaker himself disqualified you for outside.

00:41:09It was The Undertaker's fault.

00:41:10That's why you're not the WWF champion.

00:41:12But wait a minute.

00:41:13I know you're still angry with me.

00:41:16And this is what I want.

00:41:17Just to show you,

00:41:20there's no hard feelings.

00:41:22I want you to take the night off, Rock.

00:41:25I want you to take...

00:41:28Rock, Rock, settle down.

00:41:31Please, just take the night off.

00:41:32That's all.

00:41:33Just...

00:41:33No hard feelings.

00:41:34I don't want any more trouble.

00:41:36Not tonight.

00:41:37Okay?

00:41:38Please.

00:41:39For The Rock's got the night off.

00:41:41The Rock's got the night off.

00:41:44Okay?

00:41:45I mean, it's about time.

00:41:47A night off for The Rock.

00:41:48A night off for The Rock.

00:41:49The Rock's still smacked out.

00:41:51Not a thing.

00:41:51No, sir.

00:41:53Okay?

00:41:54Have a good night, Rock.

00:41:55Okay?

00:41:56Hey, driver, you take him any place he wants to go, all right?

00:41:59It's on me.

00:42:00Any place he wants to go.

00:42:01All right?

00:42:03Gerald?

00:42:03Good job.

00:42:04Thank you very much.

00:42:05Good job.

00:42:06Wait a minute.

00:42:07Vince!

00:42:08By the way, before you leave, before The Rock leaves, come here for a second.

00:42:11Rock wants to tell you one thing.

00:42:15Come a little closer.

00:42:16You don't want the driver to hear this, Vince.

00:42:21Oh!

00:42:24That's...

00:42:25Son of a...

00:42:26Hey, you son of a...

00:42:28You son of a...

00:42:32Hey, King!

00:42:35King, it's The Undertaker just stepped behind McMahon!

00:42:38He's stalking him!

00:42:40Okay, we're back on SmackDown and hoping to focus entirely on The Undertaker.

00:42:44Mr. McMahon gave The Rock the night off.

00:42:47Yeah.

00:42:49And look at that!

00:42:50That's the ultimate intercoordination!

00:42:53Son of a...

00:42:53He gives you the night off and you get slapped!

00:42:54Look, look!

00:42:55Are you son of a...

00:42:56Look at that!

00:42:56The Undertaker!

00:42:58Still here on SmackDown!

00:43:00He's stalking him!

00:43:01That's a good one!

00:43:02Coaching in the shadows, The Undertaker!

00:43:05He's a stalker!

00:43:06The following contest is schedule 4-1-5.

00:43:14And he gets ready to ring, but he's only by Jeff Hardy.

00:43:17From Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in at 217 pounds, Matt Hardy!

00:43:24So Matt Hardy's set for a one-on-one action here tonight on SmackDown!

00:43:29And tonight, WWE SmackDown is brought to you by Metal Cuts from Metaform!

00:43:33Go to GMC, look for the Triple H display, and enter to win a trip for two to SummerSlam!

00:43:38Or enter at WWF.com before June 1st!

00:43:42And by Reebok Blacktop!

00:43:44And the only place you can get it, Foot Locker!

00:43:52And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Lita, from Guadalajara, Mexico, weighing in at 217 pounds,

00:44:02S.A. Rios!

00:44:04Well, the surprising part of this game is that S.A. Rios is being accompanied to the ring by Lita because of what happened this past week.

00:44:10Oh, yeah, last Monday, it looks like S.A. were partying with the hose, and he got busted!

00:44:15Busted by Lita!

00:44:17Well, Lita didn't take too kindly to that, and as S.A. teamed with the Godfather, Lita made sure that her buddy S.A. Rios didn't pick up a victory.

00:44:25Yeah, Porez got busted again, the hard way!

00:44:28These boy and women are vindictive, aren't they?

00:44:31Yeah, look at the look at the face of Lita.

00:44:34S.A. Rios, I think Lita's probably been paddling around with Linda McMahon.

00:44:39S.A. Rios and Matt Hardy set to go one-on-one.

00:44:42We learned earlier on tonight that Linda McMahon, Vince McMahon's wife and the CEO of this company,

00:44:47has re-signed The Undertaker with a brand new contract, and as The Undertaker put it, King, a lot of years,

00:44:54a lot of money, which gives him every right, I guess, to put a book whooping on Mr. McMahon.

00:45:01Yeah, at least that's what the Phenom says.

00:45:03But that's what he's gonna do, and he's gonna get paid for it!

00:45:06But Vince, Vince, Vince, his own money!

00:45:10Rory Carolina by S.A. Rios.

00:45:11Oh, those damn Dudleys are gonna be here, huh?

00:45:13Oh!

00:45:14Yeah, Dudleys and Two Cool take on Road Dogg and X-Pac and TNA in a big eight-man tag team match.

00:45:19It is gonna be pretty.

00:45:20And Matt Hardy in trouble outside the ring, look at S.A. Rios fly!

00:45:23Open up to the top, and Matt Hardy may be a cold kick.

00:45:29Oh my gosh, what a move.

00:45:33Both these athletes, Matt Hardy and S.A. Rios, risk takers, high flyers.

00:45:37Hey, wait a minute, did you say that?

00:45:39Cover by S.A. Rios, there's two, and a kick out before the count of three.

00:45:43Look at this, K.

00:45:45Right on, right on board, Matt Hardy's in.

00:45:48But did you say that X-Pac and Road Dogg are gonna team with TNA?

00:45:52Yeah.

00:45:53You know what that means?

00:45:54What does that mean?

00:45:55That means Trish and Tori are both gonna be out here.

00:45:58Same time, same place.

00:45:59Look out, S.A. Rios in all kinds of trouble.

00:46:03It's for a big reason to continue.

00:46:05Oh, Matt Hardy.

00:46:06And S.A. Rios' head bouncing off the mat.

00:46:12Matt Hardy, his head bounced off the mat a few times too.

00:46:16White hand by Matt Hardy to the face of S.A. Rios.

00:46:18And another one.

00:46:22Matt Hardy and his brother Jeff Daredevil's risk takers.

00:46:25Matt Hardy knocking S.A. Rios over the top rope.

00:46:30It was on Raw Monday Night King, the Hardys upset by TNA.

00:46:34Lita, look at me, look at this.

00:46:36S.A. Rios just used Lita as a shield and then poked Matt Hardy in the eye.

00:46:40Wait a minute, Matt Hardy clocked Lita, but only after S.A. Rios threw Lita in front of Matt.

00:46:45Well, at least he's going to jump in.

00:46:48And S.A. Rios dropped off the steel steps.

00:46:51She's jealous.

00:46:52Well, can you believe S.A. Rios, King?

00:46:54Throwing Lita in front of him to take that right hand from Matt Hardy.

00:46:58How do you know what they say behind every good woman?

00:47:01Give me a break.

00:47:04And S.A. Rios gonna climb to the top rope.

00:47:07Oh, and that's down Matt Hardy.

00:47:09This should be over.

00:47:10There's two, and Matt Hardy gets the shoulder up before the count of three.

00:47:15I still can't get over the fact S.A. Rios, not once, but twice.

00:47:18Use Lita as a shield, and now S.A. bounces Lita off the in-ring.

00:47:22I think that was last time, but they hit it.

00:47:24Twist the fake by Matt Hardy.

00:47:27What's the way?

00:47:29It's over.

00:47:31Matt Hardy picks up the win.

00:47:32Here's your winner, Matt Hardy.

00:47:36Well, give the assist to Lita.

00:47:38He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

00:47:40Let's get him.

00:47:44Lita knocked off the apron as S.A. Rios knocks heads with Lita.

00:47:50And S.A. Rios is irate, he's upset.

00:47:53Wait a minute, what the hell's he doing?

00:47:56I don't know, but this looks like another Rocky WWF relationship.

00:48:00Stormy, oh, they say Rios is livid, but this is uncalled for, King.

00:48:06No, he's not gonna do this.

00:48:08I think he is.

00:48:09What the hell did Lita do to him?

00:48:11A powerball.

00:48:14Got her right out of her pants.

00:48:16What did Lita do to him, King?

00:48:19What do you mean, what did she do?

00:48:20She cost him the match.

00:48:22And it broke the ass.

00:48:23No.

00:48:23Whoa.

00:48:24And look out, here come the Hardys.

00:48:28Hey, Matt and Jeff are back.

00:48:30What are they doing, button-in?

00:48:32It's a family affair.

00:48:33Well, the defending lead is Ana, King.

00:48:35They're good guys.

00:48:36They did the right thing.

00:48:38What honor does Lita have?

00:48:40She didn't deserve to be treated like that.

00:48:43Hey, wait a minute.

00:48:43Enough's enough.

00:48:44Oh.

00:48:45The Hardy boys.

00:48:46Just doing what any two good men would do, King.

00:48:54What do you mean?

00:48:57Would you do that?

00:48:58Of course I would.

00:49:00How dare you?

00:49:03Matt Hardy picked up the win, and the Hardy boys come to the aid of Lita.

00:49:06Disgraceful.

00:49:11S.A. Rios, disgraceful.

00:49:16Get her around this one, man.

00:49:18You know, you're here all right.

00:49:19All I can say is, I'm glad that son of Rock is gone.

00:49:29He's lucky he's gone.

00:49:30He is lucky.

00:49:31I know.

00:49:32And I was the one who didn't want you to go out there.

00:49:34But now that the Rock is gone, now we've got to come up with a plan.

00:49:41Because now we've got to come up with a plan to get rid of the Undertaker.

00:49:45And get rid of him tonight.

00:49:47And what's it going to be?

00:49:48Who's got an idea?

00:49:50Shane?

00:49:51Briscoe?

00:49:52Come on.

00:49:53Vince.

00:49:56What if, all right?

00:49:57Just hang on me for a second on this.

00:49:59What if we could find somebody that could look the Undertaker right in the eye,

00:50:06and that would know he could take a man of that size down?

00:50:10Somebody that wasn't afraid of, you know, somebody of the stature of the Undertaker.

00:50:16Yeah.

00:50:16Somebody tough enough to get that job done.

00:50:19Yeah?

00:50:20What are you talking?

00:50:20What if we could find a giant killer?

00:50:27Yeah.

00:50:29What?

00:50:30Shane.

00:50:31You can do it, Shane.

00:50:32You can do it, Shane.

00:50:33You destroyed the Big Show.

00:50:34Mm-hmm.

00:50:35What?

00:50:35Yeah?

00:50:36Undertaker, Big Show, but relatively close inside.

00:50:40You're a shoo-in, Shane.

00:50:42You can do it, Shane.

00:50:45It's got you written all over it.

00:50:48You could do it, Shane.

00:50:49Giant killer.

00:50:54We're back on SmackDown, Kang, and I guess Simba's heading back to the action.

00:50:59Hey, he's the artist formerly known as Simba.

00:51:02He's now Shane, the giant killer.

00:51:04Shane McMahon took a stroke of the Undertaker here on SmackDown.

00:51:09I thought Shane had to screw loose when he took on the Big Show on Judgment Day.

00:51:13Now I really think he's off his rocker.

00:51:15Fully consciousness is an eight-man tag team match scheduled for one fall.

00:51:22Introducing first make their way to the ring at a combined weight of 438 pounds.

00:51:28Scottie, Tuhani, and Graham, Mr. Sixxay, two tools.

00:51:34Well, Shane didn't look too confident that Triple H brought up the idea that he should go one-on-one with the Undertaker here tonight.

00:51:40Do you think they can convince him?

00:51:41I know he didn't look too confident, but you can see that Vince and Triple H have a world of confidence.

00:51:47And their tag team partners have a combined weight of 565 pounds on the way at D-Bot, the Dudley Ball.

00:52:02Oh, King, the Dudleys still very upset after the outcome of the tag team table match at Judgment Day.

00:52:08The Dudleys had DX defeated, but the referee was out and DX ended up stealing the match.

00:52:14You know how bad the Dudleys want to get their hands on Tori, but they're not going to do it.

00:52:18I mean, Tori's like a superwoman. She's indestructible.

00:52:23Well, the Dudley boys teaming with two cool in this eight-man tag team matchup.

00:52:28Calm down, King.

00:52:29I don't know why all of these fans are staring at Trish.

00:52:46You don't have time for you, you morons.

00:52:49Well, Trish Stratus has played a major role in the success of T and A.

00:52:53T and A!

00:52:55And there's D-Botters, made in company by Tori, out of the line by 462 pounds, fellow rope dog, Jissy James, and X-Bot.

00:53:13There you go.

00:53:13I know, King, it was just last week that Tori, from the top rope, splashed through a table that had Bubba on it,

00:53:20crashing Bubba through the table, and you see what they say, Bubba don't forget.

00:53:26What do you mean, Bubba don't forget?

00:53:29Well, you got a memory like an element?

00:53:31I know you got a body like one, but that body was put right through a table.

00:53:35It was great!

00:53:37So, X-Bot interrobed on T and A, number T and A, to take on the Shucky Boys in two cool moves.

00:53:43And it's what has already been an explosive night here on SmackDown, he still has gone.

00:53:48Look at the title against Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon in The Undertaker.

00:53:55Look at Bubba Ray, his head's swirling around, he's out for Tori.

00:53:58Well, Bubba Ray's got his eyes set both on Trish Stratus and Tori.

00:54:01Here we go!

00:54:03Yeah, look at Bubba, this is like a feast for him, two women.

00:54:06Well, Bubba Ray's already put Trish Stratus through a table, that happened at Backlash.

00:54:10And as these fans chant for the table, you know, Tori's gotta be next on Bubba's hit list.

00:54:16And I guarantee you, Bubba, the last thing he wants to see is Gerald Briscoe coming,

00:54:21storming out here, you know, standing up for women's rights.

00:54:23Yeah, the glorious Steinem of the WWF, the hardcore champ Gerald Briscoe.

00:54:28Look at Grandmaster Sette.

00:54:30So it's Scotty Tuhani squaring off against Test in this eight-man tag team matchup.

00:54:37This is a unique relationship, T and A.

00:54:40T and A, just T and A is a unique relationship.

00:54:46Look at this, Scotty Tuhani.

00:54:49Uh-oh, walking right into that one, nice chatter.

00:54:51And Scotty Tuhani with the right hands with a sign of the head of Test.

00:54:55Test outweighs much taller than Scotty Tuhani.

00:54:57Scotty Tuhani the quicker of the two, and there's the quickness with a standing drop cap to the face of Test.

00:55:02Look at Scotty.

00:55:03And here comes Grandmaster Sette and the other half of 2 Cool, and here's the double team.

00:55:08Oh-oh, here they go!

00:55:09I think they move it out of the hood.

00:55:11Oh!

00:55:12Hell yeah.

00:55:13Oh, double elbow by 2 Cool.

00:55:17Wait a minute, did you say hood?

00:55:18Yeah, I said hood.

00:55:19Are you cool, Michael?

00:55:20I am cool.

00:55:21Check out Grandmaster Sette's lift.

00:55:22Oh, you're using all the words, all the lingo.

00:55:23Kick for the red section by Test.

00:55:24Grandmaster Sette into the turnbuckle, and here comes the red dog.

00:55:25Uh-oh.

00:55:26Set loose of jukin' and jivin'.

00:55:27Jukin' and jivin'.

00:55:28Next thing I know, you're gonna bust a move, Michael.

00:55:29Hey, Grandmaster Sette in trouble with the right hands with the red dog.

00:55:31Shane McMahon and The Undertaker.

00:55:32Shane the giant kick.

00:55:33Oh!

00:55:34Oh!

00:55:35Shane McMahon realizes what he's gonna get into.

00:55:37Here tonight, I'm expecting it.

00:55:38Hey, look at Grandmaster Sette, he's pretty, oh!

00:55:39What did you say?

00:55:40Cool.

00:55:41No, I thought you'd say groovy.

00:55:42Well, he is groovy.

00:55:43Here we go, now.

00:55:44Here's the kick out by the road dog after the count of two.

00:55:48He's shaking his groove thing, ain't he?

00:55:50Oh!

00:55:51Oh, oh!

00:55:52Oh!

00:55:53Oh, oh!

00:55:54Oh!

00:55:55Oh, oh!

00:55:56Oh, oh!

00:55:57Oh, oh!

00:55:58Oh, oh, oh!

00:55:59Oh, oh, oh, oh!

00:56:00Oh, oh, oh!

00:56:01Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:56:02Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:56:03Here we go.

00:56:04He's shaking his groove thing, ain't he?

00:56:06Oh!

00:56:07Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:56:32By DX and T and A.

00:56:34You know, Chris, you need to hang around with Torch.

00:56:36You can learn a lot from Torch.

00:56:38Whoa, look at this!

00:56:39A little strength and power.

00:56:40Whoa!

00:56:41The young superstar Albert, the A in T and A, and Grandmaster Sexy in a world of trouble.

00:56:47You're not kidding, that was some serious hang time there.

00:56:49And here comes the speed and quickness.

00:56:52Tenacity, the martial arts ability of X-Pac.

00:56:56X-Pac!

00:56:58X-Pac!

00:57:00What a kick up underneath the chin.

00:57:02Trish Stratus looks on.

00:57:04She knows that X-Pac does not suck.

00:57:06Here it comes!

00:57:09Look down front, go push!

00:57:10And nobody home!

00:57:12Oh, no!

00:57:13Nobody home is great after six, eight moves out of the way.

00:57:16Now there's nobody home downstairs for X-Pac.

00:57:19Look at Bubba Ray, he wants to nerf so bad, he can taste it!

00:57:23He wants to take away somebody!

00:57:27Bubba Ray, Devon, both want to make a tag!

00:57:31One, two, three!

00:57:32And now Bubba Ray comes into the ring, and it's pocket trouble!

00:57:36The Dudley Boys' DX war continues!

00:57:38Those damn Dudleys!

00:57:40Now look down, that's cock!

00:57:42Oh, a buttness into the slam!

00:57:44And it's pocket trouble!

00:57:45Oh my gosh!

00:57:46And Bubba Ray, Dudley, tags in his half-brother, Devon!

00:57:50And the Dudley Boys with a double-team!

00:57:52Look at the boot camp!

00:57:54Look down, T and A!

00:57:57Paul, and Dudley's out into the bottom rope!

00:57:59Oh, no!

00:58:00Look at Scottie!

00:58:01Scottie Chuhani!

00:58:02You're gonna see it!

00:58:03It's him!

00:58:05W-O-R-M!

00:58:08W-O-R-M!

00:58:09In the W-O-R-M!

00:58:12Look out, Rodeau!

00:58:13One, two, three!

00:58:15Bam!

00:58:16Chopped to the face of Rodeau!

00:58:18And Grandmaster Sexy sitting over to the hip-hop front!

00:58:22Contact!

00:58:23Here it comes!

00:58:24To the X to the Rodeau!

00:58:26Look out, Scottie, over the top rope!

00:58:28Cover by Grandmaster!

00:58:30X-Pac from behind!

00:58:32In the meantime, Bubba Ray is running!

00:58:35Chris and Tori around the ring like the Kentucky Derby!

00:58:38And Bubba Ray back in the ring!

00:58:39Look out!

00:58:40X-Pac in trouble!

00:58:41Tori's not gonna like this!

00:58:42A headbutt to the lower extremities of X-Pac!

00:58:48Now, testing of the ring!

00:58:51Dudley Boys in T and A!

00:58:53Look at it!

00:58:54Look at it!

00:58:55Oh!

00:58:56Albert right into referee Teddy Long!

00:58:58Let's go, Teddy Long's another head right!

00:59:01And Road Dog!

00:59:03Tori right out here in front of us!

00:59:06All hell's broken loose and we have no referee, Jake!

00:59:08What is this idiot doing here?

00:59:11Wait a minute!

00:59:15Rikishi!

00:59:16What?

00:59:17He's coming down here!

00:59:18Rikishi on his way to the ring to help out his running,

00:59:20but he's too cool!

00:59:21Rikishi with a kick to Road Dog!

00:59:24It's time!

00:59:26He's doing for a ride!

00:59:28He's watching!

00:59:29Woo!

00:59:30Backing it up is Rikishi!

00:59:33Three!

00:59:40It's over!

00:59:41Dudley did too cool!

00:59:43Pick up the win!

00:59:44Here are the winners, the Dudley Boys and Too Cool!

00:59:50Pick up the victory over DX and TNA!

00:59:53Some measure of revenge for the Dudleys following Judgment Day!

01:00:03I can tell you what, King, it's far from over between DX and the Dudley Boys!

01:00:18I know!

01:00:19And look at this crowd on their feet clapping in unison!

01:00:22You know what they want?

01:00:23I don't know, but I know what Beverly Dudley wants!

01:00:26He still wants to tableize Torrey!

01:00:28He won't be satisfied when Kelly puts Torrey to a table!

01:00:31Can't wait!

01:00:34Wait a minute!

01:00:35Too cool isn't letting the Dudleys or Rikishi leave!

01:00:38You don't want to dance from the Dudleys, do you?

01:00:41Why not?

01:00:42It'd be cool!

01:00:43Dudleys don't dance!

01:00:44How do you know?

01:00:47It's like baseball players don't cry and the Dudleys don't dance!

01:00:51That's 3D!

01:00:52Dudleys don't dance!

01:00:53Oh, please!

01:00:54What are we going to see here?

01:00:57Oh, the shades and Rikishi!

01:00:58You know what the shades mean!

01:00:59You being secret agent show?

01:01:04They got two pairs of shades for the Dudley boys as well, King!

01:01:11Uh-oh, wait a minute!

01:01:13What's up here?

01:01:15Dudleys don't do shades either, I guess!

01:01:17You know, those shades are hot sellers all the kids wanted!

01:01:20Oh, no!

01:01:21Wait!

01:01:22The Dudleys got shades for two cool!

01:01:25There's those, those Dudley glasses!

01:01:29What does this mean, they're going steady or something?

01:01:33No, it means you're gonna dance, King!

01:01:35Oh!

01:01:36I think this is about to make me sick!

01:01:39How about a big hug fest or something!

01:01:40Don't we have to go to a commercial?

01:01:41Listen to this crowd!

01:01:42Next thing you know, these four guys will be playing tonsil hockey!

01:01:54Hey, they picked up a big win!

01:01:56They can celebrate!

01:01:57Do I have to watch?

01:01:58Uh-oh!

01:02:17The Dudley boys do dance!

01:02:18Wait a minute!

01:02:20What do they want?

01:02:23Check out some of the fans!

01:02:28Oh, look at this guy!

01:02:31Look at this guy!

01:02:34What was that called?

01:02:36I don't know.

01:02:37I knew you weren't cool.

01:02:38Look good to be there!

01:02:40I knew you were cool!

01:02:41You look good to be there!

01:02:42Yes!

01:02:43Oh, boy!

01:02:44By Murray!

01:02:46Woo!

01:02:53Oh, no!

01:02:54Look out!

01:02:55Back it up!

01:02:56Go, Rikishi!

01:02:57Go!

01:03:06Only in the WWF, King!

01:03:08Aware!

01:03:11Do the Macarena again, you idiot!

01:03:16You gotta concentrate.

01:03:17You can do this, all right?

01:03:18You were the one.

01:03:19Shane, you were the man.

01:03:20Just like Sunday, all right?

01:03:22When you put the big show down,

01:03:23you took the big show out.

01:03:24Just like Sunday, all right?

01:03:26Come on now!

01:03:27You gotta get into this!

01:03:28You're gonna want this!

01:03:29You can do this!

01:03:30I'm doing this!

01:03:31You were the giant killer!

01:03:32I'm doing this!

01:03:33He's going down!

01:03:34And today, you are gonna be known as the man that buried The Undertaker.

01:03:38Yeah.

01:03:39All right?

01:03:40I'm doing this.

01:03:42And now, get ready for some Maximum Power.

01:03:45Delivered by RC Edge Maximum Power Cola.

01:03:48Scotty 2 Hardy taking an angle down.

01:03:50Oh, no!

01:03:51W!

01:03:52Oh!

01:03:53Oh!

01:03:54Ah!

01:03:55It just nailed!

01:03:56Scotty 2 Hardy with a tactile belt and angle!

01:03:58Oh, there it is!

01:03:59The top team champions have current angle even the score!

01:04:02RC Edge!

01:04:03Not just Cola!

01:04:04Power Cola!

01:04:05I'll tell you, King!

01:04:06That's a unique relationship!

01:04:07What?

01:04:08Turn Angle and Edge and Christian!

01:04:09But yeah, you're right!

01:04:10It is unique today!

01:04:11And these days are time to find three clean-cut young men who have values and morals!

01:04:15Which one is more in love with themselves?

01:04:16You know, last Monday night, your Olympic hero, King!

01:04:21came to a realization that preaching abstinence and posing with friends are all fun and good.

01:04:42But I'm an Olympic gold medalist.

01:04:47The best in the whole entire world!

01:04:52It's true!

01:04:53Wow!

01:04:54It's mind-boggling!

01:04:56And none of you here could possibly understand the goals and the high standards that I set for myself!

01:05:06And it's been way too long since your Olympic hero has had championship gold strapped around his waist here in the WWF!

01:05:14It's true!

01:05:15It's damn true!

01:05:18Uh-oh!

01:05:19Be serious tonight, Michael!

01:05:21And I realized tonight that the people here don't have much to live for!

01:05:27But the good news is, the good news is, you will remember this night forever!

01:05:33Because tonight, you will witness the crowning of a new Intercontinental Champion!

01:05:40Wow!

01:05:41We're gonna be part of history!

01:05:42I'll tell you what, King, this capacity crowd, this sold out crowd will not forget this night here on SmackDown!

01:05:50Because still coming up, Shane McMahon goes one-on-one with The Undertaker!

01:05:55Shane the Jag Killer referred to him correctly!

01:05:58That's the only reason he's coming out here!

01:06:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Championship!

01:06:07Making his way to the ring from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, weighing in at 225 pounds!

01:06:13He is the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion, Chris Benoit!

01:06:20So, Chris Benoit puts the Intercontinental title on the line here tonight on SmackDown against Kurt Angle,

01:06:25and the winner of this match, King, goes into Raw Monday night, having to face Hardcore Holly,

01:06:30who won a big Triple Threat match earlier on!

01:06:33Well, I'll tell you one thing, I told you earlier what I thought of Hardcore Holly.

01:06:38I think Hardcore Holly has a great chance of being the next Intercontinental Champion.

01:06:42I'll tell you, Chris Benoit, tremendous fighting champion as Intercontinental Champion.

01:06:46Kurt Angle, most serious tonight, King, as you mentioned, really lost the Intercontinental goal.

01:06:51Get out of there!

01:06:52I want to look at him.

01:06:53Get out of there now!

01:06:54I mean, he seems totally focused.

01:06:55Uh-oh.

01:06:58Chris Benoit, the Intercontinental Champion, defeating Chris Jericho in that submission match on Judgment Day.

01:07:03I think Benoit is maybe a little bit surprised about the fact that, you know, ordinarily, Kurt Angle,

01:07:09he's kind of a fun-loving guy, he'll come out here, crack a few jokes.

01:07:12Oh!

01:07:13Not tonight!

01:07:14He's ready to go!

01:07:16Textbook suplex by Kurt Angle and Benoit in a world of trouble here early on.

01:07:21Now, Benoit successfully defended the Intercontinental title on Raw Monday night against Val Venus,

01:07:25but Hardcore Holly had some stuff to say with a steel chair.

01:07:28Yeah, take a look at Benoit's knee.

01:07:30I'm surprised Benoit's even able to walk tonight.

01:07:33Take another look at the suplex by Kurt Angle.

01:07:36That's Olympic experience for you.

01:07:38And Chris Benoit, awesome, nice takedown by Kurt.

01:07:41Plus that's intensity.

01:07:42And there's some more intensity with the clothesline.

01:07:44Hook of the leg.

01:07:45Benoit kicks out after two.

01:07:46Intensity, one of those three eyes that Kurt Angle constantly preaches.

01:07:51And Chris Benoit is running to the proverbial buzzsaw here tonight, King.

01:07:56I don't think he expected this out of Kurt Angle.

01:07:58Kurt Angle has taken it right to the champion.

01:08:00You know what?

01:08:01Timing is everything.

01:08:02This has already been a tough week for Benoit.

01:08:05And now to catch Kurt Angle in this mood.

01:08:07What an elbow by Benoit to the face of Kurt Angle.

01:08:10So tonight the giant killer Shane McMahon will look a giant in his eyes.

01:08:16The Undertaker.

01:08:17Shane and The Undertaker 101 and a kick out after two by Kurt Angle.

01:08:21You know what I can't understand about these people here in Kurt Angle?

01:08:24If I told you a guy was gonna stand up for his country, win a gold medal, and then come out and dress in red, white, and blue, and the people were gonna boo him, would you believe that?

01:08:36You couldn't believe it, King.

01:08:37Well, it happens with Kurt Angle.

01:08:38Benoit's kick to the midsection.

01:08:39And I'm sure it has something to do with Kurt Angle's attitude, King.

01:08:40What do you mean his attitude?

01:08:41Likes to run his mouth.

01:08:42Talks a lot about himself.

01:08:43It's all about the eye, eye, eye, eye.

01:08:44What a takedown by Angle.

01:08:45The three eyes, that's right.

01:08:46And it didn't help matters to any, I should say that Angle has aligned himself with Edge and

01:09:04Christian in recent weeks.

01:09:07He's just trying to be an international friendly.

01:09:11Kurt Angle trying to win the Intercontinental Championship, hooks the leg, could have a new champion.

01:09:15And Benoit gets the shoulder up after two.

01:09:18I'm surprised Kurt Angle hadn't tried to exploit that knee of Benoit yet, but I'm sure he will.

01:09:24That knee injured in the hands of Hardcore Holly right here on SmackDown.

01:09:27Here's the cover hook of the leg, and again a shoulder up by Benoit.

01:09:31It was last week on SmackDown King, Hardcore Holly went to work on that injured knee of Chris Benoit with a steel chair.

01:09:38As Hardcore Holly continues his campaign to get back into the Intercontinental title race.

01:09:44He has a shot at the title on Raw Undernight.

01:09:46Ooh, wow.

01:09:47A takedown by Benoit, hooks the leg again.

01:09:49There's two and a kick out.

01:09:50Takedown, I'd call that a knockdown.

01:09:52Do you really think Shane McMahon is convinced he has a chance against The Undertaker here tonight on SmackDown?

01:09:58Uh, let me ask you this.

01:09:59Did you see Judgment Day?

01:10:01I saw Judgment Day.

01:10:02Wait a minute.

01:10:03Cover by Benoit.

01:10:04Hook of the leg and a kick out.

01:10:05Well, I'll just tell you this.

01:10:07A lot of people don't even realize this.

01:10:09The Big Show is having surgery tomorrow.

01:10:11Right.

01:10:12That's how bad Shane the Giant Killer beat him.

01:10:14Yeah, Shane with the help of some friends.

01:10:17Look at the elbows by Benoit.

01:10:19Oh, a takedown.

01:10:20Here's a cover.

01:10:21After the bridge.

01:10:22Two and a kick out.

01:10:23Very good.

01:10:24Kurt Angle.

01:10:25Come on, Kurt.

01:10:26Do you think Shane McMahon has something up his sleeve?

01:10:28Stay focused.

01:10:29You know what?

01:10:30What?

01:10:31I'm trying to watch Kurt Angle, but yes.

01:10:33Well, I don't know.

01:10:34Shane doesn't have to have something up his sleeve other than that big massive arm of his.

01:10:37Oh, please.

01:10:38Kurt Angle.

01:10:39Look out.

01:10:40Oh, Benoit.

01:10:41And the Intercontinental Champion's in trouble, but that maneuver took a lot out of Kurt Angle.

01:10:45Oh, boy.

01:10:46Are we going to take it something out of Kurt Angle?

01:10:48What is Hardcore Hawley doing coming down here?

01:10:50Well, he's the number one contender for the Intercontinental title.

01:10:53And he has a steel chair in his hand.

01:10:55Wait a minute.

01:10:56Look out.

01:10:57And he just clocked Kurt Angle.

01:10:58And the referee calls for the bell.

01:11:01It's a new chair.

01:11:04Just better than counters.

01:11:06I mean, Hardcore was going to use that chair.

01:11:09Oh!

01:11:10Benoit just cleaned the clock of Hardcore Hawley.

01:11:13Hardcore Hawley.

01:11:14The winner of this match is all of a disqualification, Kurt Angle.

01:11:18As you heard Chris Benoit say, King, he'll see Hardcore Hawley Monday.

01:11:22Hardcore downstate Intercontinental Champion, Chris Benoit.

01:11:27King, as you heard Chris Benoit say, he'll see Hardcore Hawley Monday on Raw.

01:11:31Intercontinental title on the line.

01:11:33Hardcore wakes up by then.

01:11:35Take a look at this.

01:11:36Hardcore Hawley from nowhere with a steel chair.

01:11:39Oh, they hit a Kurt Angle.

01:11:41Hardcore Hawley knew directly he was gonna call for a disqualification.

01:11:46But I don't think he saw that coming.

01:11:48Steel chair to his own head.

01:11:49It's gonna be a war Monday night on Raw.

01:11:51Benoit, Hawley for the Intercontinental title.

01:11:54Hey, King, guess who's on the cover of Business Week?

01:11:59The WWF CEO, Linda McMahon and Kane.

01:12:02Oh, she's a busy CEO, all right.

01:12:04If she's not making Vince's life miserable, she's destroying the damn company.

01:12:07Check it out.

01:12:08Hot Grove Company, WWF on the cover of Business Week.

01:12:11Jeez.

01:12:12Linda's everywhere.

01:12:13Uh-oh.

01:12:14Four-week context is scheduled for one fall.

01:12:16Speaking is, where they are being accompanied by the Lego weapon, Steve Blackman, from Lima, Ohio.

01:12:26Weighing in at 249 pounds, Al Snow.

01:12:30Al Snow!

01:12:31Al Snow!

01:12:32Al Snow!

01:12:33A more serious, more focused Al Snow set for one-on-one action here tonight on SmackDown.

01:12:39Al Snow set to take on Full Buchanan.

01:12:42Well, Subway presents the King of the Ring.

01:12:45Subway, the way it's now it should be.

01:12:47The King of the Ring will be live June 25th from the sold-out Fleet Center in Boston, Mass.

01:12:52Uh-oh.

01:12:57And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by the Big Boss fan from Kyle County, Georgia.

01:13:04Weighing in at 295 pounds, Bull Buchanan!

01:13:10That Bull is a monster!

01:13:11I'm gonna tell you.

01:13:12I'll tell you what you saw when you did it in the big show at Judgment Day.

01:13:15He is one bad son of a gun as Bull Buchanan heads into the ring to go one-on-one with Al Snow.

01:13:21You're talking about Linda McMahon.

01:13:24It's on WWE after the cover of Business Week.

01:13:27We learned earlier on tonight that Linda McMahon has re-signed The Undertaker to a big old contract.

01:13:32The signing happened Sunday morning before Judgment Day, much to the chagrin of her husband Vince McMahon.

01:13:39And their only begotten son, Shane the Giant Killer, was about to face Dead Man Walken, The Undertaker.

01:13:46And Al Snow trying to shoulder knock down a Bull Buchanan.

01:13:49That was like hitting brick wall.

01:13:51Went for the cross body, Bull Buchanan encounters.

01:13:53And look at the strength of the Bull.

01:13:55I can't believe, I can't believe what Linda McMahon had done to Vince.

01:13:59I'm telling you.

01:14:00Over the years, since Linda and Vince has been married, she's been treated like a queen.

01:14:04She never had to want for anything.

01:14:06I mean, you know what, do you know how she knew when she was going into labor with Shane?

01:14:11Now, her Perrier broke.

01:14:14Look at the drop kick to the knee of Bull Buchanan by Al Snow.

01:14:18Now, the thanks Vince gets to Linda is The Undertaker, a big fat contract.

01:14:25And we're just moments away, came from The Undertaker and Simba.

01:14:29Shane McMahon one-on-one, Al Snow hooks the leg and a kick out after the count of two.

01:14:35You really think Shane McMahon believes in his heart that he's a giant killer?

01:14:40Of course he does.

01:14:41Well, he did it to the Big Show at Judgment Day with the help of four or five other people.

01:14:45Can he get it done tonight one-on-one with The Undertaker?

01:14:47And you haven't seen The Big Show since.

01:14:48Maybe, maybe tonight will be the last we see The Undertaker.

01:14:51Boy, that would be great.

01:14:52But athletic ability, agility by Bull Buchanan bouncing on the top rope and then delivering the clothesline.

01:14:57Al Snow with a turnbuckle by the Bull.

01:15:04Come on, out of here, come on.

01:15:05One, two, three, four.

01:15:09Shane McMahon, The Undertaker.

01:15:11Come on, stop that.

01:15:12Shane, The Giant Killer, got rid of The Undertaker.

01:15:15He's done away with, he's done away with the Big Show.

01:15:18Maybe if he gets rid of The Undertaker tonight, next Shane can go after that new sport

01:15:22person for the WWF, that Shawn Michaels.

01:15:24Yes, Shawn Michaels is brought back to the World Wrestling Federation by Linda McMahon,

01:15:28as was Stone Cold Steve Austin, as was Mick Foley.

01:15:31Hey, hey, hey.

01:15:32Now look at this, Al Snow rolling Bull Buchanan up.

01:15:34The referee, he's being distracted by the big boss man.

01:15:37Al Snow had Bull Buchanan defeated here.

01:15:41Now referee, Teddy Long back in position, and a kick out after the count of two.

01:15:45Teddy Long's another hit and right.

01:15:47Al Snow with the shots, look out, Al Snow up, boom, with the top rope.

01:15:52And Bull Buchanan once again in control.

01:15:56You can take a look in the eyes of Bull Buchanan.

01:15:58Yeah, it's not all that.

01:15:59Scary, very scary.

01:16:01He's got that glassy hook all the time.

01:16:03Why don't you go up there and tell him he's not all there?

01:16:05I'm gonna tell him that.

01:16:06Look at Al Snow up over the top rope.

01:16:08And Bull Buchanan, man, what power and strength by the big bull.

01:16:14If you was anything at all like Shane McMahon, if you were a giant killer, you'd go up there and tell him that.

01:16:19Well, I'm not a giant killer, and I don't run around telling everybody I am.

01:16:22You say it behind your back, huh?

01:16:23One, two, three.

01:16:24One, two, three.

01:16:25Statistic individual.

01:16:27You got the tongue of a giant, and shoot your mouth off all the time.

01:16:30The big boss man, talk about sickos.

01:16:33Outside the ring with the nightstick.

01:16:35And look at the right hand.

01:16:37Bobby Buchanan is just dominating Al Snow.

01:16:41Man, what a right hand by the boss man.

01:16:44And Bobby Buchanan, a blatant choke over the front of referee, Teddy Long.

01:16:51That pull, I told you.

01:16:53Look out.

01:16:55In the steel post goes Al Snow.

01:16:58My gosh.

01:17:00Look at Boss Man.

01:17:02He got the drop on him.

01:17:03He's got his answer.

01:17:04Okay.

01:17:07And Bobby Buchanan tossing Al Snow back into the ring.

01:17:10You know, Mr. McMahon thought he had it all figured out tonight.

01:17:13He was gonna have The Undertaker arrested.

01:17:15Undertaker was going to jail.

01:17:16Forget about it.

01:17:17Now his son Shane's going to a match against The Undertaker.

01:17:21And The Undertaker has a fat contract.

01:17:23This is bad.

01:17:26But you know, nobody home.

01:17:28Vince didn't know.

01:17:29Vince had no idea.

01:17:30No!

01:17:31Undertaker had been signed by Linda.

01:17:32After that move, Bull's no longer a Bull.

01:17:34Come on.

01:17:35What do you mean?

01:17:36And Bull Buchanan back into the corner.

01:17:37Al Snow with the right hand.

01:17:38And Al Snow, who's sick in his own right, is really taking it to the 300 pound Bull Buchanan.

01:17:45Well, Al Snow has got a lot better damn beat since he's staring that stupid head around.

01:17:49Hey, what's Blackman doing?

01:17:52Get him out of there, Penny Long.

01:17:54Look out, Boss Man from behind with a nice down.

01:17:58And that will kick to the back of the head, hook of the leg.

01:18:01One, two, three.

01:18:02It's over.

01:18:03Bull Buchanan wins.

01:18:04Give the assist to the big Boss Man.

01:18:06It's like I said.

01:18:07Here's your winner, Bull Buchanan.

01:18:10Bull Buchanan.

01:18:11Just like I just said, Al Snow has been doing nearly as well.

01:18:14Oh!

01:18:15Carrying the head around.

01:18:16Nightstick to the side of the head of Steve Blackman.

01:18:18A blindside attack by the Boss Man.

01:18:20And was that necessary?

01:18:21No, it's just a little icing on cake.

01:18:24Bull Buchanan picks up the wind.

01:18:27The Boss Man didn't want Blackman to feel left out.

01:18:29Yeah.

01:18:30Yeah.

01:18:31Come on, sir.

01:18:32I'm pumped up.

01:18:33The Giant Killers in full effect.

01:18:34After what he did to you, chasing you all over the place on a motorcycle.

01:18:37No, Undertaker is going down, and I don't want any interference.

01:18:39You understand that?

01:18:40I'm doing this on my own.

01:18:41Taker's going down.

01:18:42Yeah.

01:18:43He's doing it on his own, though.

01:18:45Does my son have a set of grapefruits or what?

01:18:49Just like you, Mr. McMahon.

01:18:56King, this is what started this wild ride here tonight on SmackDown.

01:19:00The Undertaker with a hit and run attack on Mr. McMahon.

01:19:03It's brought us to this.

01:19:04Attempted vehicular homicide.

01:19:06Oh, my God.

01:19:07That's what Mr. McMahon called, and he tried to have The Undertaker arrested.

01:19:11We learned that The Undertaker was signed to a new contract this past Sunday by Linda McMahon.

01:19:15No chance.

01:19:16And now it's Shane McMahon one-on-one with The Undertaker.

01:19:19Shane the Giant Killers.

01:19:22There he is.

01:19:23You know, King, this music is up.

01:19:25And the call.

01:19:26No chance in hell, because Shane has no chance in hell against The Undertaker.

01:19:30What are you talking about, you naysayer?

01:19:32Look at him.

01:19:33Look at the size of those grapefruits.

01:19:35Look at the big show in the hospital bed somewhere.

01:19:40Thanks to Shane McMahon and his cronies.

01:19:44Probably a veterinary clinic for Jack answers where he's at.

01:19:49Uh-oh.

01:19:50King, I'll tell you what, I don't necessarily agree with that Shane here tonight because-

01:19:54I do, I do because he's kept quick.

01:19:55That's what he is.

01:19:56It takes a lot for Shane to come out here tonight and go one-on-one with The Undertaker.

01:20:07You gotta give Shane some credit.

01:20:09Look at that.

01:20:10Shane McMahon.

01:20:11Hey, that's good.

01:20:12I'm sorry, have you not been watching the same matches that I have been?

01:20:29I've been dominating here in the World Wrestling Federation.

01:20:32That's right, tell him about it.

01:20:37As a matter of fact, you see, Undertaker, tonight will be your judgment day.

01:20:42Just as it was The Big Show's judgment day last Sunday night.

01:20:47Right.

01:20:48And obviously, many of you have forgot what the giant killer has done to The Big Show.

01:20:53So let's revisit that special moment.

01:20:56Oh, I love this.

01:20:57Roll the footage.

01:20:58I love this.

01:20:59There it is.

01:21:00Oh my, come on, 500 pounds.

01:21:01Oh!

01:21:03Man, right across The Big Show's knee.

01:21:05Oh, man!

01:21:06One more time.

01:21:07I love that footage.

01:21:08Yes!

01:21:09Crushing The Big Show's knee.

01:21:10One more thing.

01:21:11Yeah!

01:21:12That's what I'm talking about.

01:21:14A triple feature.

01:21:15And I did it all on my own.

01:21:18He did.

01:21:20He pushed that thing over on his own.

01:21:23But I wasn't done after that.

01:21:25No.

01:21:26I had one more thing to do to The Big Show.

01:21:28And that was defeat him for the one, two, three.

01:21:31So I, let's roll the footage here.

01:21:34So I accidentally hit The Big Show in the back of the head with a cinder block.

01:21:38One more time.

01:21:39Oh!

01:21:40Look at that.

01:21:41Rendering the big man unconscious.

01:21:43Check that out.

01:21:44And then all of his left.

01:21:45Yes!

01:21:46History!

01:21:47One, two, three.

01:21:48As I was cheered on by Bolt Buchanan.

01:21:51Ha ha!

01:21:52We're gonna have a new shirt, Big Nasty Blockhead for The Big Show.

01:21:55Ha ha ha ha!

01:21:57So Undertaker, if I was you, I'd stay in the back.

01:22:02Because obviously, you don't want none of Shane O'Mac.

01:22:07There he is!

01:22:08Shane the Giant Killer!

01:22:10Uh-oh!

01:22:11He's here!

01:22:12Uh-oh!

01:22:13He's here!

01:22:15Uh-oh.

01:22:18She's here!

01:22:37Okay, he's a real American badass.

01:22:39He's the phenom.

01:22:40Perhaps one of the greatest superstars in the history

01:22:43of the World Wrestling Federation.

01:22:46And the Undertaker King is back.

01:22:48Brand new contract at hand

01:22:50and held back on Raisin' Hell

01:22:53and with a man-held free regime.

01:22:56And it's funny he did when he came back.

01:22:58He comes right at the title.

01:22:59I've never been playing that out.

01:23:01And now he's here to play.

01:23:04He's trying to tell him what he's got to play to do

01:23:06than Shane the Dark Lord.

01:23:10Go on, go on, go on.

01:23:12Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on.

01:23:20So, Ted, The Undertaker's set to go one-on-one

01:23:23with Shane McMahon.

01:23:24I've got a question for you.

01:23:29What's that?

01:23:30I think Mr. McMahon is trying to drive a wedge

01:23:33between The Rock and The Undertaker?

01:23:36What are you talking about?

01:23:36What would he have to gain by doing that?

01:23:39He's gonna store a little bit of tension there.

01:23:40Oh, Lord.

01:23:44So The Undertaker one-on-one with the self-proclaimed,

01:23:48no, I shouldn't say that.

01:23:49Oh, look out, look out.

01:23:49Triple H named him that, The Giant Killer.

01:23:52How can you be so cool comic-like

01:23:53when Shane The Giant Killer's nose-to-nose

01:23:56with The Undertaker?

01:23:57Look out, Shane.

01:23:58Whoa!

01:23:58The Undertaker.

01:24:00Get up, Shane.

01:24:02Get up, Giant Killer.

01:24:03The Undertaker began the evening with a hit-and-run attack

01:24:07on his motorcycle on Mr. McMahon.

01:24:09He's gonna end the evening working on his son Shane.

01:24:12I wanna remind Linda McMahon of something right now.

01:24:15You are responsible for this, Linda.

01:24:16Your own son, he's told him because of you.

01:24:19The Undertaker busted up Shane McMahon with a series of right and left hand.

01:24:24And there's another one by The Undertaker.

01:24:26The Undertaker sees Vince McMahon and his son Shane.

01:24:41The sins of the father being taken out on his son Shane.

01:24:46And Shane is about to go to hell right now.

01:24:49Not the Jokeslam, the hell no!

01:24:51Jokeslam!

01:24:54He could have broken his back.

01:24:55And so much for the Giant Killer.

01:24:57Now, wait a minute.

01:24:58Here comes the cavalry.

01:25:00And The Undertaker is cleaning up DX.

01:25:03Look out!

01:25:04Man, it's doing something.

01:25:06Mr. McMahon, heading to the ring.

01:25:09But The Undertaker, taking apart DX and the WWF champion, Triple H.

01:25:14And Triple H going for a ride, and it's caught from behind.

01:25:19And now DX tries to swarm The Undertaker.

01:25:23Get on it.

01:25:24The Double Team, Undertaker trying to paddle back.

01:25:27Get on it.

01:25:28You gotta admit that you have to take a long numbers problem now.

01:25:31A big numbers problem.

01:25:33Three on one with the WWE Champion leading the charge.

01:25:37Look at Vince.

01:25:39Yeah, look at Mr. McMahon.

01:25:40The WWE Champion leading the way, the odds have gotten to The Undertaker.

01:25:53And it's been Mr. McMahon.

01:25:54Wait a minute.

01:25:56He's back.

01:25:59The promo call is back.

01:26:01What?

01:26:01The Rock is back.

01:26:03And The Rock laying the smack down on DX.

01:26:07Where did he come from?

01:26:08Mr. McMahon had given him the night off.

01:26:11And The Rock is back.

01:26:12Rock, follow him.

01:26:13Rock's back.

01:26:14The Rock and Undertaker cleaning house.

01:26:19Yes.

01:26:20The regime being dismantled at the hands of The Rock and The Undertaker.

01:26:26Oh, get on there, Triple H.

01:26:29The Undertaker with Shane.

01:26:32I can't believe that Jeff Midei was so happy.

01:26:34And now he's got a hit.

01:26:36Shane.

01:26:37No, Shane.

01:26:38Tombstone.

01:26:39He's Tombstone Simba.

01:26:46The Undertaker is back.

01:26:48Dance, you gotta say it, Simba.

01:26:52The faction trying to regroup.

01:26:55Get away.

01:26:56Retreat.

01:26:59Triple H may be WWF Champion.

01:27:07And The Rock just clocked the champ.

01:27:10Oh, look out.

01:27:11You know what you're gonna do?

01:27:12He's gonna run over everybody.

01:27:14Look at The Undertaker.

01:27:16Look for your life.

01:27:17He's a, the Undertaker in pursuit.

01:27:20He's a man, Hector.

01:27:21That was not an idiot.

01:27:22Look out.

01:27:24If you smell.

01:27:26It's been a bittersweet week for this man and company.

01:27:29Triple H may be champion, but The Rock and Undertaker

01:27:33from the regime threw a living hell.

01:27:36But I can guarantee you the McMahon Helmsley faction

01:27:40won't take this lying down.
