00:00Introducing first, standing in over 7 feet tall, weighing in at 441 pounds.
00:16He is the Intercontinental Champion, The Big Show.
00:22I think Big Show does have the advantage coming into this tables matchup here tonight.
00:26But you see the big smile on the face of Big Show?
00:29Well, he's been all smiles over the past month after he finally put to rest a decade of frustration
00:35when he finally realized his WrestleMania moment.
00:38Big Show got an advantage no matter whether extreme moves or not.
00:42And tonight, Cody Rhodes is about to feel it, man.
00:46You know, it's very well-documented, King, over the years,
00:50well, how unsuccessful Big Show has been on the grand stage of WrestleMania.
00:54But he put it all to bed earlier this month in Miami
00:58when he took on Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental title.
01:01Yes, he did. And after all the frustration, the months of embarrassment that Cody had heaped on the Big Show all over the world,
01:09this had to feel so good for the Big Show to get that kind of victory.
01:13Yeah, Cody Rhodes was really rolling for most of this matchup, delivering the disaster kick one time.
01:18But then Big Show would pick him out of the air on the next one.
01:20And then the weapon of mass destruction, the big right hand, the knockout blow,
01:24and Big Show an emotional Big Show winning the Intercontinental Championship for his first ever WrestleMania moment.
01:33Hey guys, Big Show becomes one of only five men to actually hold all the current titles in the WWE,
01:40the Intercontinental Championship, Tag Championship, United States title, WWE, and World titles.
01:47Some accomplishments.
01:48And the challenger, from Marriott, Georgia, weighing in at 215 pounds, Cody Rhodes!
01:55As Cody Rhodes makes his way to the rank, Big Show among those who've accomplished the feat,
02:01the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels, Owen Hart, and great company for the Big Show.
02:06Oh, I'm not kidding. That's something to really be proud of. Nothing embarrassing about that.
02:11Check out Cody Rhodes. I'm looking at a kid right now that's totally unsure of himself.
02:16And tonight, we're gonna see exactly what he's made out of in the middle of this week, which is Big Show.
02:22And you know, Booker, you make a great point because I think unsure of himself is a great way to describe Cody right now.
02:27He was on top of the world for months and months and months.
02:30He had one of the longest leader Continental Championship reigns ever.
02:33He felt invincible, like he couldn't be defeated.
02:35But when Big Show knocked him off at WrestleMania and now has been playing mind games
02:39and embarrassing and humiliating Cody over the past few weeks,
02:42I don't know if Cody believes he can actually beat the big guy.
02:45Yeah, I really, I don't think he can beat him as well.
02:47And the thing is, Cody is the reason why Big Show is like this right here.
02:51Just calling this guy just a little too much, man.
02:54You know, I think that Cody Rhodes was hoping, maybe even praying,
02:57that when that wheel spun around, there would land on something that would give him some sort of advantage.
03:03But that didn't happen.
03:04Maybe like a track match, like a 100-yard dash or something like that.
03:09Yeah.
03:10But instead, his worst nightmare, the tables match.
03:13How do you get the Big Show up to put him through a table?
03:15I think air traffic control over at O'Hare just picked Cody Rhodes up on his radar.
03:19And he had that big back body drop.
03:21Oh, man.
03:22Oh, man.
03:23Booker, you've been hit by that before.
03:25Definitely on the table.
03:26It feels like a tree truck just landing on your chest, man.
03:29You don't want to feel that, dawg.
03:31And Big Show going to introduce his own table early part of this matchup.
03:37Remember, the only way to win is to put your opponent through a table.
03:41Intercontinental Championship is up for grabs.
03:44The thing is, how the hell is Cody Rhodes going to pick that Big Show up and put him through a table?
03:49It's not going to happen.
03:50Again, you go through a table, you lose.
03:52As you see Cody Rhodes and from behind knocking the big man down.
03:56Why does this table have to be so close to our table?
03:59And Cody Rhodes with one arm shoved into the barricade.
04:04Big Show is so strong.
04:07The giant heel.
04:08Oh, my goodness.
04:09This is a giant heel for Cody to climb tonight, man.
04:14And what a build.
04:16Big Show is all over Rhodes.
04:19He's just tossing Cody around.
04:24You don't think Big Show has forgotten all about those embarrassing and humiliating moments that Cody Rhodes put him through leading up to WrestleMania.
04:32That's what I've said a million times.
04:33You should keep your words soft and sweet because you may have to eat them.
04:36And Cody Rhodes is eating his words.
04:38Watch how far he has thrown.
04:39Oh, man.
04:41That looked like about four to five yards.
04:43He just tossed that boy right there.
04:45When I used to bale hay back in the day on our farm,
04:47that's how I used to throw those bale hay.
04:49You used to do what?
04:50You were a farmer?
04:53He's talking about his stomach.
04:56What?
04:58Big Show setting up the table.
05:00He sends Cody Rhodes through and he'll keep the Intercontinental Championship.
05:03Your jokes just make no sense.
05:05And here's Cody.
05:06Look out now.
05:07Cody into the table.
05:08Comes off with a disaster kick.
05:10You gotta be champion right there.
05:12That's a unique way to use the table as a weapon.
05:14But how is he gonna put the Big Show through a table like this?
05:16Well, that was impressive by Cody Rhodes, but it was out of pure desperation.
05:21He was finished if the Big Show had had his way there.
05:23Yeah, but look at Big Show gingerly making it to his feet.
05:25Cody Rhodes are gonna take advantage.
05:26And Big Show with a shoulder block out of the corner.
05:29Successfully makes his way away from the table.
05:32I'll tell you, Cody's trying to get Big Show through that table any way he can.
05:36What's the chance that Cody Rhodes took right there?
05:38Remember, if Cody Rhodes would put his foot through that table there,
05:41that table explodes everywhere, Big Show would've won a matchup.
05:44Cody with a big chance.
05:46Oh, my hip.
05:51I'm gonna tell you right now, Big Show would just toy with this boy.
05:56Come on, Cody. Cody is swinging down.
05:57Oh, my hip.
05:58My hip.
05:59How can you figure out any one part of your body that's left or something like that?
06:02Oh, Cody.
06:03One more time.
06:05Huh?
06:06I'd just say, oh, me.
06:09I would just cry.
06:10But we know that.
06:13I'm gonna tell you Big Show right now, just look in his eyes, a look of anger.
06:17He's actually, he looks like he's mad at this kid.
06:20That's not a good thing for Cody Rhodes.
06:24Cody's trying to set the table up, but I don't think he can regain his breath after those vicious smacks by Big Show to the chest.
06:31One, two, one.
06:34Yeah.
06:35Clothesline.
06:36You're right, Brevere.
06:37It's just like the look on the face of the Big Show.
06:40He is still seething.
06:41If I were Cody Rhodes, I would give Big Show some time to cool off before I want to get back to the ring ring.
06:46Maybe six or seven years.
06:47I don't know.
06:48You know, I always say just look at the eyes, and the Big Show's eyes is telling a story right now.
06:52He just wanna punish this kid, Cody Rhodes.
06:55He could've beat him a long time ago, I think.
06:57You say he could've beat him, but still, you gotta put him through a table.
07:02You can beat him up all you want.
07:04And Big Show, and look at Cody.
07:08Smart.
07:09Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
07:12Wait, wait, wait, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, Cody's the champ.
07:18Big Show went through the table.
07:19What hell no.
07:20Here is your winner.
07:21Wait a minute.
07:22And the new Intercontinental Champion, Cody Rhodes.
07:28Yes, Big Show went through the table.
07:30We talked about it.
07:31If he goes through the table, he loses.
07:33Big Show went through the table.
07:34Wait a minute now.
07:35Cody.
07:36What do you mean, wait a minute now?
07:37Wait, wait a minute.
07:38Cody's the champion.
07:40The table busted.
07:41Did you not see it?
07:42Well, I mean, the table busted under the weight of the Big Show.
07:47Did he not go through a table?
07:48Did he go through the table?
07:49What?
07:50Oh, man.
07:51Oh, the matchup's over.
07:53Cody's the new champion.
07:54And Big Show did not take too kindly to the decision.
08:03A spear to Cody.
08:07Now, what is Big Show doing?
08:08Now, come on.
08:09This is a really poor sportsmanship.
08:13Big Show lost the championship.
08:15He went through a table.
08:19So suck it up and live another day.
08:21So suck it up and live another day.
08:22I, I, I.
08:23It's not like he went through a table.
08:26Now, I think, I think if you watch this, this may be going through a table.
08:32Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
08:33The match is over.
08:34You condone this action.
08:35Oh, it matters already.
08:36It matters to Cody Rhodes.
08:37Well, Big Show should be fined.
08:39He should be suspended.
08:40Something should happen to him.
08:42He just assaulted for no reason the new Intercontinental Champion.
08:47Big Show is just frustrated.
08:48Big Show is just frustrated right now.
08:49He's mad at himself for doing something stupid.
08:52He made a mistake.
08:53And that's the price you pay when you're a child right there, guys.
09:02I mean, I mean, come on.
09:05You're just gonna knock stuff over your back stuff you're not supposed to.
09:09Listen to these people.
09:10They're saying one more time.
09:12I think we should restart this matchup.
09:14One more time.
09:15Cody Rhodes is defenseless.
09:16Yeah, but there's still a table that's not broken yet.
09:18Cody Rhodes, come on now.
09:19Wait a minute.
09:21Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
09:22No, no, put it down.
09:24Put it down.
09:25You gotta be kidding me.
09:27Are you crazy?
09:29What is wrong with you?
09:41He's mad.
09:42He's real mad.
09:47That is one angry man right there.
09:52Well, folks, Cody Rhodes is the new Intercontinental Champion, but you wouldn't know it by looking at him.
09:58You know what?
09:59He won't know it.
10:00He's the champion until tomorrow.
10:01I need to wake up sometime.
10:03Wow.
10:10How far did Cody Rhodes fall through that table, or was he thrown through that table?
10:15Here's the shocking envy.
10:16You guys can say what you want, but Cody Rhodes on the dropkick.
10:19He put Big Show through the table.
10:21No, he did not.
10:22He put Big Show through a table.
10:23Big Show stepped through the table.
10:25Big Show's own weight caused the table to break.
10:28Okay?
10:29That's a technicality.
10:30Doesn't matter.
10:31He lost the championship.
10:32And then Big Show frustrated, upset, maybe even embarrassed.
10:35Couldn't believe he lost the title.
10:37And as Cody Rhodes would celebrate, Big Show went out of nowhere, showing he has absolutely no coup.
10:44He's got no sportsmanship.
10:46He would just completely ambush and attack from behind Cody Rhodes.
10:53And you guys condone this.
10:55Well, I don't know if I condone it, but I definitely could understand the frustration and the anger built up on the part of the Big Show.
11:03Look at this.
11:04Watch this.
11:05This is unbelievable.
11:06Oh!
11:10Cody Rhodes is ace-twenty-something feet in the air by the time he comes down.
11:15Wow.
11:19Talking about extreme moves, baby.
11:22Well, Cody Rhodes will begin his second Intercontinental Championship reign, but things are not off to a good start.
11:30There may be something broken other than that table.
11:37I feel so sorry for the guy.
11:38I mean, you need to have an opportunity to celebrate.
11:40Well, why don't you go cry for him?
11:45He's gotta help him out.
11:47Cody Rhodes! Cody Rhodes! Cody Rhodes!
11:53Cody Rhodes! Cody Rhodes!
11:55Now, let's take another look at...
11:57Oh, it can only be called a bizarre ending here.
11:59Cody Rhodes off the drop kick.
12:01Guys, you can say what you want, but there's no denying that Big Show's foot went to a table.
12:06And did you see the expression on Big Show's face when he realized?
12:09Oh, no.
12:10Yeah, he realized, oh, I'm caught.
12:13We have a close-up view of his back and his friend behind him, folks.
12:25It is a mess.
12:28Huge welts.
12:29Still pieces of the table.
12:32Sticking to the back of Cody Rhodes, who nonetheless is the Intercontinental Champion.
12:38You're right, Cody.
12:39You are the champion.
12:40And how about this?
12:41He's walking out of this arena under his own power.
12:45Well, he's a very lucky young man, and I mean that in more ways than one.
12:53Very lucky.
12:54Let everybody see their future here in me.
12:59Man.
13:04Man.
13:13Man.
13:15Man.
13:17Man.
