00:00:00It's Hardcore Holley.

00:00:01Yeah, what's his problem?

00:00:02Well, the word is Hardcore Holley wants a piece of the game.

00:00:06The question is why, and the question is, will it happen tonight here on Sunday Night Heat?

00:00:12Hardcore Holley is a bona fide jerk.

00:00:15He's been running his mouth now for the past few days, including in the locker room in Minneapolis.

00:00:19Oh, look out, Dean Malengua just dropped China outside the ramp.

00:00:22Yeah, the Target Center.

00:00:23The walls are still ringing with what Hardcore Holley said about the game.

00:00:26WWF was at the Target Center live last night in Minnesota.

00:00:30And look at Dean Malengua trying to be a gentleman.

00:00:32Well, maybe the baseball slide on the floor was inadvertent.

00:00:35Yeah, look at the look, though, and Dean Malengua's face in China with a forearm to Malengua in another one.

00:00:40Yeah, hello, Dean. Her face is up there.

00:00:42And Malengua tossed back into the ring.

00:00:44Eddie Guerrero, top rope.

00:00:46Malengua's on Dream Street.

00:00:47Eddie Guerrero, look at this.

00:00:49He's on top rope.

00:00:51Dean Malengua's in trouble.

00:00:53Cover by Guerrero.

00:00:54There's two. It's over.

00:00:55Eddie Guerrero wins.

00:00:58Eddie Guerrero the winner.

00:01:00Eddie Guerrero.

00:01:02It's all taken of a very physical contest evident on both ends.

00:01:06Eddie Guerrero picked up the win as we move closer to King of the Ring a week away on pay-per-view.

00:01:10Thanks for joining us on Heat, everybody.

00:01:12And tonight we'll find out some of the participants who will move into the final eight in the King of the Ring tournament.

00:01:16Not only that, Michael, but we've been talking about it all weekend long.

00:01:19Hardcore Holley, we know, is an absolute jerk.

00:01:22And he has been doing everything he can to try to call out Triple H.

00:01:26Hardcore Holley wants a piece of the game tonight here on Heat.

00:01:28I'm looking forward to a nice, quiet Sunday.

00:01:31We can sit on the couch, I feed my baby some grapes.

00:01:34The grapes suck.

00:01:36What are you doing here?

00:01:37Does it look like I'm doing them eating fruit?

00:01:40Not fruit.

00:01:41What do you want?

00:01:42I want to answer that challenge.

00:01:44You call yourself the game, you claim you're that damn good.

00:01:47Well, I want to find out.

00:01:49You want to match with me?

00:01:51There's a problem with that, Bob.

00:01:53You see, I happen to be the World Wrestling Federation Champion.

00:01:56Everybody wants a shot at me.

00:01:58And there's a long line of number one contenders, Rock, Taker, Kane.

00:02:02You're not on that list, Bob.

00:02:04So you've got to wait your turn.

00:02:05I don't care about a title shot.

00:02:07I just want to see if I can kick your ass, and I think I can.

00:02:09You don't care about a shot at the title.

00:02:12Nope.

00:02:13You just want a piece.

00:02:14Yep.

00:02:15I want a piece of the game.

00:02:18Well, I tell you what, then.

00:02:20Mr. I can't catch any fruit.

00:02:22You're on.

00:02:24You want to get beat up?

00:02:25It's on your head.

00:02:26You're on.

00:02:28Let's go.

00:02:30This fruit sucks, anyway.

00:02:34My hair kills.

00:02:36Anyway, baby, I'll get you some more fruit.

00:02:38I'll get somebody in here to clean this crap up.

00:03:53Game day every day.

00:04:14Last Saturday, Shawn Michaels, the Heartbreak Kid official spokesperson of the WWF,

00:04:20was in Phoenix at the America West Arena,

00:04:22signing autographs and kicking off sales for the Raw event that will take place Monday, September 11th.

00:04:26Thousands of fans turned out, and the event Michaels sold out in 90 minutes,

00:04:31which meant that, unfortunately, many fans were not able to get tickets for Raw.

00:04:35Prompting WWF officials to announce that SmackDown would also be held at the America West Arena in September.

00:04:41The Undertaker was at America West Arena this past Friday, and...

00:04:44Oh, guess what?

00:04:45Once again, the WWF sold out the America West Arena.

00:04:49This time for its SmackDown event.

00:04:51Thanks to all the great fans in Phoenix, and we'll see you in September.

00:04:55Well, Kevin, WWF live events are the place to be because of all the non-stop action.

00:04:59Right now, we're going to show you some of the highlights of the past week.

00:05:01The video is from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

00:05:15Hey, her...

00:05:15Oh, Kurt Angle!

00:05:16What the hell?

00:05:17Look at her!

00:05:18Kurt Angle was on a Olympic slam!

00:05:20She's won!

00:05:21I don't believe this!

00:05:22Brad, you idiot!

00:05:23Patterson just nailed Briscoe!

00:05:24Wait a minute, no way!

00:05:25Oh, Crash Hawley!

00:05:27Look at the elevation!

00:05:28Crash Hawley's the new hardcore champion!

00:05:31What a move by Trish!

00:05:58What a witch!

00:05:59Trish Stratus is!

00:06:00Lena came to help the Hardys out!

00:06:02And Lena's got Trish came!

00:06:04Lena's got Trish!

00:06:04What the...

00:06:05Oh!

00:06:06Trish slams!

00:06:10No!

00:06:11No!

00:09:15Where else can you find uniquely regional newscasts?

00:09:18Swinging you all the latest information regarding your home teams from across Canada.

00:09:22If it's from the world of sport, we've got you covered.

00:09:26Mornings, evenings, primetime, seven days a week.

00:09:30We are your first source for sport.

00:09:33Sports Central.

00:09:34Game day.

00:09:35Every day.

00:09:42Well, what about D-Generation X, Kevin?

00:09:45Throwing the Dudleys off the stage in a dumpster.

00:09:48D-Generation X is nuts.

00:09:49And the Dudleys boys are lucky they only escape with pumps and bruises.

00:09:54Following is a King of the Ring matchup scheduled for a woodfall.

00:09:58Taking his way to the range from Boston, Massachusetts.

00:10:02Weighing in at 241 pounds.

00:10:05Perry Center.

00:10:07Well, I think the worst mistake that DX, Torrey, Edge, and Christian could have made

00:10:11is by not taking out the Dudley boys.

00:10:14Right.

00:10:14Because now the wrath of Bubba Ray and D-Von, Michael, could be worse than anything ever imagined.

00:10:20Not only were they tossed off the stage in a dumpster, they were both put through tables

00:10:24on war this past Monday night.

00:10:26Torrey putting Bubba Ray through a table for a second time.

00:10:28Bubba Ray Dudley is salivating at the prospect of being able to drive Torrey through a table.

00:10:34He cannot wait.

00:10:40And his opponent, from Cal County, Georgia, weighing in at 296 pounds, Bull, are you kidding?

00:10:48Michael, the round of 16 now underway.

00:10:51Which one of these two men will make it to the final eight?

00:10:54And the King of the Ring tournament should be a great matchup.

00:10:58And Kevin, what about the match coming up later on tonight?

00:11:01Hardcore Holly made the challenge.

00:11:03Triple H accepted.

00:11:05It's Triple H the game on Heat against Hardcore Holly in a non-title matchup.

00:11:10And it's non-title because Hardcore Holly doesn't care, apparently, about the World Wrestling

00:11:14Federation Championship.

00:11:15He just wants a piece of the game.

00:11:16He just wants to prove that he can beat the game at his game here on Sunday Night Heat.

00:11:21So what a treat this week on Heat, folks.

00:11:23Triple H, Hardcore Holly, one-on-one as Bull Buchanan goes to work on Perry Satter.

00:11:28Oh!

00:11:29Bull Buchanan with a big knockdown.

00:11:31And Bull Buchanan has not endeared himself as of late to The Undertaker.

00:11:36Certainly hasn't.

00:11:37Monday on Raw, Bull Buchanan swiped The Undertaker's bike, drove away.

00:11:41From there, The Undertaker pulled some poor unfortunate soul out of a car to chase Bull down.

00:11:47And eventually, The Undertaker got back his bike.

00:11:49But then from there, Thursday on SmackDown, the legal tables turn, so to speak, against The Undertaker.

00:11:54Well, since Bull Buchanan's divorced, so to speak, from the big boss man, Kevin, Bull Buchanan has been doing some faction bidding as of late.

00:12:03Perhaps on the faction payroll for when they need him.

00:12:06Nice move there by Perry Satter.

00:12:08Perry very aggressive here.

00:12:10He wants to advance to the king of the ring.

00:12:12The only member of the original four radicals to really not hold World Wrestling Federation gold for any length of time.

00:12:18Perry got a cup of coffee with the Hardcore title.

00:12:20And it's not nearly enough for the Boston native.

00:12:24I know you've said this before, but do either of these two men ever smile?

00:12:28I think they both need a hug.

00:12:31And Perry Satter into the corner in the right hand by Bull Buchanan.

00:12:34Still to come tonight, another big matchup in the king of the ring tournament.

00:12:40You will see Val Venis and Jeff Hardy going one-on-one here tonight on Sunday Night In.

00:12:44And based on the desperate actions of Val as of late when it comes to Rikishi, I've got to wonder if there won't be anything that Val Venis will not do to advance in this king of the ring tournament.

00:12:54Jeff Hardy, you better be very careful.

00:12:55Oh, nice move by Perry Satter.

00:12:57Bull Buchanan's in trouble.

00:12:59And Perry Satter first cover the matchup.

00:13:00Humps the leg and a kick out after two.

00:13:04Well, you've got to wonder what's going through the mind of Triple H right now.

00:13:07Counting down later on in the hour.

00:13:10He against Hardcore Holly one-on-one.

00:13:12Oh, look out.

00:13:13There it is.

00:13:13A kick to the back.

00:13:14Out of nowhere.

00:13:17And it's over.

00:13:17Bull Buchanan quick as lightning advances into the final eight of the king of the ring tournament.

00:13:25From out of nowhere, Bull Buchanan dropped the boom on Perry Satter.

00:13:29I've got to wonder if the Fetching members are smiling with Bull's victory.

00:13:36Listen, Al.

00:13:37You used to explain to people last week you're still coming out.

00:13:40They're hitting people with that damn head.

00:13:41Stephen, I have no idea what you're talking about.

00:13:44Please return Shoe Shade to his original track so that I can continue my meditations.

00:13:49Listen, Batman.

00:13:50I don't know what you're up to, but I don't like it.

00:13:53Stephen, like I said, I have no idea what you're talking about.

00:13:56I think between the two of us, you're the one who now has to check his grip on reality.

00:14:01No one likes to refill the pitcher.

00:14:17Pure faucet mount filters.

00:14:19Clean water on tap.

00:14:20What are you doing?

00:14:39Get your own Passat.

00:14:41Right now, get a great deal on a Passat GLS at your local Volkswagen dealer.

00:14:46When you travel at over 300 miles per hour, you need all the protection you can get.

00:14:59Nine-time champion John Force uses Castrol.

00:15:08The only leading 10W-30 that provides maximum protection against both viscosity and thermal breakdown.

00:15:14Because some people have more important things to worry about than motor oil.

00:15:18Castrol GTX, drive hard.

00:15:25Good morning, everybody.

00:15:29I'm Jody Vance.

00:15:29And this is Sports Central AM.

00:15:33You've got to love morning.

00:15:34If he doesn't get a diamond, he doesn't get me.

00:15:44Uh-uh.

00:15:45Not without a diamond.

00:15:47If you want to get close, get the new Schick FX Diamond Razor.

00:15:52Alpha Diamond Blades start sharper and stay sharper for diamond closeness, shave after shave.

00:15:57I wanted to get closer, so I bought him a diamond.

00:16:01The Schick FX Diamond.

00:16:05The feel of smart design.

00:16:09There's a moment in every race.

00:16:12In every game.

00:16:14In every 60 minutes.

00:16:17When you can either quit,

00:16:19fold,

00:16:20or say to yourself,

00:16:23I can do this.

00:16:31Where's my football?

00:16:44It's the XFL, right here in Chicago.

00:16:48Chicago.

00:16:48We're very delighted that the XFL will play in Chicago at Soldier Field.

00:16:53You can't have professional football without Chicago.

00:16:56Where's my football?

00:16:57You can't have a league without Chicago.

00:16:59We're really delighted to announce that Ken Valdisari is the vice president and general manager of the Chicago team in the XFL.

00:17:08I'm just looking forward to making this Chicago franchise a special one, and one that's very entertaining and fun to watch.

00:17:16The most exciting sports league since the Roman Gladiator Games.

00:17:24Kevin, you realize we are just about eight months away from the start of the XFL.

00:17:33I can't wait.

00:17:34The huge announcement in Chicago making news all over the country.

00:17:38It's scheduled for a football.

00:17:40Taking their weight of the way.

00:17:41Got a combined weight of 495 pounds.

00:17:45Al Snow.

00:17:46During Al's pre-match meditations,

00:17:48Steve Blackman wanted answers, Michael,

00:17:50for this incident last week here on Heat.

00:17:52As Al Snow returns to his former zany sub,

00:17:54attacking D'Lo Brown with heads,

00:17:56getting Blackman disqualified.

00:17:57Al even whacked the referee.

00:17:58So Blackman doesn't know what's going on,

00:18:01and apparently Al Snow doesn't even know what Steve Blackman's talking about.

00:18:05I don't know which version of Al Snow's crazier.

00:18:08And their opponents from Japan.

00:18:10Add a combined weight of 470 pounds.

00:18:14Munaki and Taka Michinoku.

00:18:17Kyentai.

00:18:18Maybe we could send Al Snow and Chuck Knobloch to the same shrink.

00:18:22Yeah, they both need it.

00:18:24As Kyentai makes their way to the ring

00:18:26to take on Al Snow and Steve Blackman in tag team action.

00:18:30Folks, do not go away,

00:18:31because coming up,

00:18:33Triple H, Hardcore Holly, one-on-one.

00:18:35And you know, Hardcore has been talking crap all weekend long,

00:18:39including the fact, Kevin,

00:18:40that we were in the Target Center in Minneapolis last night.

00:18:42He was walking around telling everybody

00:18:44how he's going to kick Triple H's butt.

00:18:46Now he gets the match that he wanted, albeit non-titled.

00:18:48Yeah, but that's because Hardcore Holly doesn't apparently care

00:18:51about Triple H's World Wrestling Federation Championship.

00:18:53He just wants to see if he measures up to the game.

00:18:55And you've got to wonder if Hardcore Holly's also thinking about

00:18:58his round of 16 matchup of the King of the Ring Tournament

00:19:01against Crash Holly.

00:19:02Well, we understand that the coach is trying to get a word

00:19:06with Hardcore Holly following this matchup.

00:19:08Maybe Hardcore will call him fat again.

00:19:10And what a kick to the face by Al Snow.

00:19:11Yeah, that was funny.

00:19:13And Al Snow, zen-like,

00:19:16as he tags in his tag team partner,

00:19:19the lethal weapon, Steve Blackman.

00:19:22Munaki off the ropes.

00:19:23There's the double-team by Steve Blackman.

00:19:27Boy, we've already seen...

00:19:28Wait a minute.

00:19:28Cover hooks the leg.

00:19:30And Tucker breaks up the three-count.

00:19:31We've already seen Bull Buchanan advance

00:19:34in the round of 16 of the King of the Ring Tournament.

00:19:37A little later on,

00:19:38Jeff Hardy and Val Venus.

00:19:40Oh!

00:19:41Steve Blackman face first.

00:19:43I'll tell you what,

00:19:44I think Vince and Linda McMahon

00:19:45are in serious need of a marriage counselor.

00:19:47What, you think?

00:19:48Let's see.

00:19:50Every business decision that I make,

00:19:52my wife,

00:19:53Trump,

00:19:53with another business decision of her own

00:19:55that would make me completely miserable.

00:19:58And then send me to a table bench

00:19:59against the W boys.

00:20:01And where the hell is Al Snow going?

00:20:02Al Snow just took off,

00:20:04leaving his partner,

00:20:05Steve Blackman,

00:20:05alone in the ring.

00:20:06And it's two-on-one for Kiantop.

00:20:09And Al have to make a phone call.

00:20:10What's it do?

00:20:11Al Snow is completely nuts.

00:20:13Certifiable.

00:20:14It's been said before,

00:20:15but he's off the deep end.

00:20:16And Tucker with a chop

00:20:18underneath the chin

00:20:18to Steve Blackman.

00:20:19And Kiantop now

00:20:20will systematically pick apart

00:20:21the lethal weapon.

00:20:23Well, I don't know.

00:20:24This is some kind of tough log

00:20:25between Blackman and Snow.

00:20:26Oh, a little miscommunication there.

00:20:28Tucker just dropped Wunaki

00:20:29and Blackman just dropped

00:20:30both lenders at Kiantop.

00:20:32And Steve Blackman,

00:20:33the martial arts expert,

00:20:35is getting into the zone.

00:20:37Watch your step, Steve.

00:20:40Oh, he's fired up.

00:20:43Look at that slam by Blackman.

00:20:45And Steve Blackman

00:20:46is picking apart Kiantop.

00:20:48The adversity of the two-on-one

00:20:49is only fueling Blackman's fire.

00:20:52Wait a minute.

00:20:53Al Snow's changed.

00:20:55No, he has been the same

00:20:56as he was before.

00:20:58But he has had.

00:20:59Oh, you mean changed his outfit.

00:21:01Steve Blackman has

00:21:02picked up the ring,

00:21:03but Al Snow

00:21:04has just cleared the ring with head.

00:21:05Al Snow

00:21:06and the re-woman

00:21:08and Steve Blackman.

00:21:10Dr. Joyce Brothers

00:21:11calling Dr. Joyce Brothers.

00:21:13What happened to his G?

00:21:15His G!

00:21:17He's not zen, right?

00:21:19Oh, standing by

00:21:20with Hardcore Holly.

00:21:21It's the coach.

00:21:28the title is not on the line.

00:21:30But the man who holds that title

00:21:31is who you're going to face.

00:21:33Look at me,

00:21:34Mr. Coachman,

00:21:35the one with all the smart questions.

00:21:45do I have to tell you

00:21:46I don't give a damn

00:21:46about anything?

00:21:50Title or no title,

00:21:51I want to kick his ass.

00:21:54So how do you let me know?

00:24:55And everything they do should take place here

00:24:57Not here

00:24:59This has been a public service announcement for the World Wrestling Federation and this station

00:25:05Kevin King of the World Wrestling Federation will be the first superstar to enter the final eight

00:25:13Who will be next, who will be Jeff Hardy or Val Venus

00:25:15The Hardy boys made their name in the World Wrestling Federation as tag team specialists

00:25:25But could Jeff Hardy stand out on his own as the King of the Ring?

00:25:29Pulling is a King of the Ring matchup schedule for one fall

00:25:33Making his way right from Cameron, North Carolina

00:26:20From Las Vegas, Nevada

00:26:22Weighing in at 244 pounds

00:26:25Val Vene

00:26:27A resounding chorus of boos

00:26:30The Val-Rikishi rivalry continuing to escalate

00:26:33Michael, you saw it firsthand

00:26:34Three ace of guns is back down

00:26:36Val and Rikishi might have just taken it to another level

00:26:38Rikishi began by slamming Val through the announce table

00:26:41Then Val managed to retaliate

00:26:43By drilling Rikishi with monitors to the head

00:26:46And then a vicious chair shot

00:26:47Rikishi got 12 stitches, Michael

00:26:49In the back of his head

00:26:50I'll tell you, Kevin

00:26:51Val Vene is trying to be recognized

00:26:54Trying to make a name for himself

00:26:56Trying to again become a player in the World Wrestling Federation

00:26:59But is he going about it the right way

00:27:01Going after a man like Rikishi?

00:27:03Well, and is it because of

00:27:05Trish Stratis receiving his sticky face from Rikishi?

00:27:09Resounding yes

00:27:10Don't even ask the question

00:27:11Yes, that's why

00:27:12And I'll tell you one thing about Trish Stratis

00:27:14She's a witch

00:27:14Bottom line

00:27:15She has changed the lives of three superstars

00:27:18Here in the World Wrestling Federation

00:27:19Val Vene is

00:27:20Test and Albert

00:27:21Let me ask you this

00:27:22Do you think the Test and Albert

00:27:23Are a more effective tandem

00:27:25With Trish Stratis at the helm?

00:27:27I really do think they are

00:27:28What about Val Vene is?

00:27:30Do you think that he is more focused than ever before?

00:27:33Yes, he is

00:27:33One of the favorites to become King of the Ring?

00:27:35Yes, he is

00:27:35But let me ask you this question

00:27:37Is Trish Stratis doing it because she cares about these three guys?

00:27:40Or is she doing it because she cares about herself?

00:27:42Wait a minute

00:27:42Jeff Hardy cover on Val Vene is going to kick out after one

00:27:45And will Trish Stratis dump each one of these guys like a hot potato when he gets to that point?

00:27:50Well, time will tell if that is the result of any of their business relationships

00:27:55But Jeff Hardy here looking to stand out on his own

00:27:58And become perhaps King of the Ring for the year 2000

00:28:01I mentioned earlier

00:28:02Billy Godd, who won in 1999

00:28:04He was a tag team sponsor

00:28:06And a kick out by Jeff Hardy after two

00:28:09And look at what winning the King of the Ring has done for the past winners

00:28:12Stone Cold Steve Austin in 96

00:28:13Triple H in 97

00:28:15Even Bret Hart's career was propelled by winning the King of the Ring

00:28:18You win the King of the Ring

00:28:20You become an immediate player

00:28:22And who will be the player this year as Trish Stratis looks on

00:28:26Who will advance to the final eight in this matchup

00:28:28Bull Buchanan is there already

00:28:29It will be Val Vene or Sir Jeff Hardy joining Bull Buchanan

00:28:33And you know, Kevin

00:28:35Trish Stratis has not enamored herself with the Hardy Boys and Lita as of late

00:28:41You speak of Thursday on SmackDown

00:28:43Jeff was ready to deliver the Swanton Bomb

00:28:45Trish knocked him off the apron

00:28:46Roundup

00:28:47Swano slapping Jeff in the face

00:28:48Whoa

00:28:49From there, Lita came down and got involved

00:28:51Lita, I guess, a payback

00:28:53A thank you for when the Hardy Boys saved Lita from Essay Rios a few weeks prior

00:28:56Jeff Hardy up for the sweep

00:28:57Val Vene is on the powerbomb

00:28:59There's a cover

00:29:00There's two

00:29:01And Jeff Hardy just gets the shoulder up

00:29:02I thought Val Vene had already advanced to the final eight right there with that maneuver

00:29:06Great toughness for Jeff Hardy

00:29:07And what about Lita's run-ins with the Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley this past week?

00:29:12Oh my!

00:29:13Linda McMahon gave Lita the opportunity she deserved

00:29:16A chance at Stephanie McMahon

00:29:17Look out, cover by Jeff Hardy

00:29:19There's one, two

00:29:19And Val Vene just gets the shoulder up again

00:29:22I should say Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley

00:29:24Or there will be a memo in my box

00:29:25The women's champion and Lita went toe-to-toe

00:29:30No faction members could interfere

00:29:32But it was Kurt Angle saving the day for Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley

00:29:35Kurt Angle and Stephanie get little twinkles in their eyes when they're around one another

00:29:39You feel it? Is it kind of an awkward moment when they're together?

00:29:42You better not say too much more

00:29:43You know the game, Triple H

00:29:44Stephanie are in the house here tonight

00:29:47Jeff Hardy, tough rope, swan time

00:29:49Trish can do nothing to prevent the swan time

00:29:51Here's the cover now

00:29:52Here's one

00:29:53And look at Charlie Stratus putting Val Vene's foot on the rope

00:29:56And the referee's going to break the three count

00:29:59All right, switch, miss

00:30:01Easy now, she had every right that's good strategy

00:30:05Lita, Lita, Lita's here

00:30:07Val Vene's with a slam

00:30:09Lita's haven't got enough of that rich, Trish Stratus

00:30:13Lita and Trish are coming right through the cycle

00:30:15They're going to get it out

00:30:16And Val Vene, look out, Val Vene in here

00:30:18Hey, get your hands off her

00:30:20Let her go

00:30:21And look at Trish with the boot to the back of the head

00:30:24And Jeff Hardy and Val Vene now

00:30:28Trish Stratus

00:30:30Oh, Val Vene is disgusting

00:30:33And look at this, Trish now with Jeff Hardy's leg

00:30:37And now they're behind

00:30:39And the fisherman's suplex

00:30:43Hooks the leg

00:30:44Two

00:30:44Val Vene advances into the final eight

00:30:47Thanks to Trish Stratus

00:30:49Here is the team scene for Jim Hardy

00:30:51Val Vene

00:30:52Well, the team of Trish Stratus and Val Vene

00:30:55Stratus sends Val into the final eight

00:30:58When Lita came down to ringside to counter back Trish

00:31:01Val Vene is a disgusting pig grabbed her

00:31:04And then from there, Trish grabbed a hold of Jeff

00:31:07I don't know what referee Teddy Long is thinking about

00:31:10And from there, the fisherman's suplex and Val Vene

00:31:13Stratus

00:31:13The one, two, three advances to the final eight

00:31:16And the king of the race

00:31:17I'm begging Teddy Long to get a clue

00:31:18And I can guarantee you this thing between Lita and Trish

00:31:22Is far from over

00:31:23Boy, Michael, that is for sure

00:31:25But take a look at the brackets now

00:31:27With the king of the race tournament

00:31:28Val Vene advances to the final eight

00:31:30Earlier on tonight here on Heat

00:31:32Bull Buchanan also advanced to the final eight

00:31:35The king of the race tournament will culminate

00:31:37Next Sunday, live on pay-per-view

00:31:39And Kevin, don't forget

00:31:40In minutes, Triple H has answered

00:31:42Hardcore Holly's challenge

00:31:43They'll get it on tonight

00:31:45On Heat

00:36:12You guys are lost

00:36:13And you're telling me what to do

00:36:14You have no idea where you're at

00:36:16And you're telling me what to do

00:36:17All I want is one of those

00:36:18New York City hot dogs

00:36:20You want a hot dog

00:36:20Or you want your chicken shit?

00:36:21Man, I want a souvenir from New York City

00:36:23Come on, man

00:36:24Jerry, you gotta concentrate on Crash

00:36:26Jerry, I think I just seen a hot dog man

00:36:29No, Crash!

00:36:30Oh, we're close

00:36:31We're gonna get a championship

00:36:33You gotta get a concentration

00:36:34Can I know he's around here somewhere else?

00:36:38Schaap!

00:36:39John Schaap!

00:36:41That's my name

00:36:42Man, aren't you supposed to have a potty or something?

00:36:46No, man

00:36:46I walk alone

00:36:47I'm with my uncle

00:36:48Man, I heard you're like one bad mother

00:36:51Shut your mouth

00:36:52Wait, wait, wait, wait

00:36:54I know you

00:36:56You're Crash Howland

00:36:58The hardcore champion

00:37:00Yeah

00:37:00So what can I do for you?

00:37:02Well, Mr. Schaap, everybody's after me

00:37:04I think someone's after me right now

00:37:06Can you help me out?

00:37:08You try the APA?

00:37:10Yeah, but I got heat with them

00:37:11Can you give me protection?

00:37:12Yeah

00:37:12You're in luck, little man

00:37:18She likes you

00:37:20From now on

00:37:21It's my duty

00:37:23To protect your booty

00:37:25Excuse me, sir

00:37:28Who the hell are you?

00:37:30Oh, we're Patterson and Briscoe

00:37:32Have you seen a little short guy walk around here?

00:37:36Looks like Elroy Jetson?

00:37:37Yeah, that's the one

00:37:38Had a big, ugly belt with him

00:37:39Hey, that's my belt

00:37:40But that's him

00:37:41He didn't mention anything to me

00:37:44About that being your belt

00:37:45And you let a little guy like that

00:37:47Take your belt?

00:37:47Huh?

00:37:48Jerry

00:37:49You must be Shaft

00:37:51Oh, God

00:37:53You're damn right

00:37:55Read my mind

00:38:04Who delivers ten times out of here?

00:38:10Now, what's my name?

00:38:13Shaft!

00:38:16Can you dig it?

00:38:22Shaft is in theaters everywhere

00:38:24And although Samuel is the man

00:38:26He is not the game

00:40:56In the United States Army

00:40:57And your new second baseman

00:40:59Jackie Robinson

00:41:00Hi, gentlemen

00:41:01And now back for the Royals

00:41:05Le 2nd baseman

00:41:07Jackie Robinson

00:41:09Record numbers of cheering Montreal

00:41:18helped Jackie Robinson break baseball's color bar that year

00:41:20He never forgot the city but launched his journey to baseball's Hall of Fame

00:41:23He never forgot the city but launched his journey to baseball's Hall of Fame

00:41:28He never forgot the city but launched his journey to baseball's Hall of Fame

00:41:35Record numbers of cheering Montrealers helped Jackie Robinson break baseball's color bar that year

00:41:41He never forgot the city but launched his journey to baseball's Hall of Fame

00:41:45He's been running his mouth for a week and finally he'll get a chance to play the game with the game

00:42:01Michael I can tell you there's a lot of world wrestling federation superstars that want hardcore Holly to fail he's a big jerk to everyone and this is his opportunity

00:42:07Michael I can tell you there's a lot of world wrestling federation superstars that want hardcore Holly to fail he's a big jerk to everyone and this is his opportunity

00:42:14King of the Ring is presented by Subway the way a sandwich should be King of the Ring comes to you live next Sunday from the Fleet Center in Boston Massachusetts exclusively on pay-per-view

00:42:21One, two, two, this song

00:42:35It comes to you live next Sunday from the Fleet Center in Boston, Massachusetts, exclusively on pay-per-view.

00:42:43Want to settle this on?

00:42:59And his opponent, finger-companied through the ring by the Radio-O-Central Ice and Women's Champions.

00:43:05Company McBad Humphrey, from Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing in at 260 pounds, he is the World Wrestling Federation Champion, Triple H!

00:43:20Hardcore Holly stares up the ramp of the man that is the game, the World Wrestling Federation Champion.

00:43:26Michael, Hardcore Holly's been a tag team champion, he's been an intercontinental champion, he's held Hardcore Gold, but he's never gotten to the level of Triple H.

00:43:35And tonight, Hardcore Holly has his opportunity to get to that next level.

00:43:40Well, Hardcore Holly is a ruthless competitor, he'll do whatever it takes to win, and I hope for Triple H's sake, he knows what he's gotten himself into here tonight on Heat.

00:43:50It is not a title, he can't lose the title, but he can lose a lot more than that.

00:43:54He can lose his pride going into that huge six-man tag team match a week from tonight at King of the Ring.

00:44:00Is Triple H still obsessed with this story with The Rock, The Undertaker, and Kane?

00:44:06That he will look beyond the athlete the caliber of Hardcore Holly here tonight on Heat.

00:44:11If the game does, it could be game over.

00:44:14I'll tell you, Kevin, Hardcore Holly may talk a big game.

00:44:18He may be a jerk, he may run his mouth, he may be in tremendous shape, he may be a great athlete.

00:44:23But with all that said, you have to admit, Hardcore Holly has got to have some butterflies going into this matchup against the champs.

00:44:30Well, you know, a lot is said about testicular fortitude, and Hardcore Holly certainly is proving that he has that.

00:44:38Butterflies, I'm sure.

00:44:39But you know what, if Hardcore Holly comes out here and talks all that trash, and he doesn't back it up, then he'll have nothing left.

00:44:47Hardcore Holly, in some respects, Michael, is putting his entire World Wrestling Federation career on the line.

00:44:54And keep in mind the wild card outside the ring.

00:44:57Triple H's wife, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, as this capacity crowd comes to its feet.

00:45:04All over the game, Triple H.

00:45:06You know, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley's had a very busy week.

00:45:09The whole situation we talked about earlier with Lita and the Women's Championship.

00:45:13The continuing saga with Chris Jericho, costing Jericho a matchup on SmackDown Thursday night.

00:45:19And of course, the situation with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Kurt Angle.

00:45:24Well, it certainly was a very busy week for all the members of the faction.

00:45:27And after the way we went off the air Thursday on SmackDown, The Undertaker has since been bailed out of jail.

00:45:33The Rock and Kane were left lame by the faction.

00:45:36You know that those three men are going to walk into Raw tomorrow night live, red-hot, looking for revenge.

00:45:42Triple H, Hardcore Holly squaring off.

00:45:44Think Triple H, a little surprised by the aggressiveness of Hardcore Holly in the early going here on Heat.

00:45:50I'll tell you, Hardcore Holly, Kevin.

00:45:52Tremendous competitor.

00:45:53He will never back down from a challenge.

00:45:55He didn't get his nickname Hardcore for nothing.

00:45:57No, he's earned it.

00:45:58Years of competition here in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:46:02But Triple H has taken it to that next level.

00:46:05This is where Hardcore Holly wants to be.

00:46:07Many will say that Triple H is the best, if not the best ever, World Wrestling Federation champion.

00:46:17And Hardcore with a stiff right hand in a game.

00:46:20That's the only speed that Hardcore knows.

00:46:22That's the only way Hardcore Holly knows how to throw a punch.

00:46:24It's right square in your eye.

00:46:26Well, Triple H always goes 100% as well, Kevin.

00:46:29I mean, think about the accomplishments of Triple H over the past couple of title reigns, over the past few months.

00:46:35The elimination of Mick Foley, Cactus Jack, at Cactus Jack's own game, and the Royal Rumble,

00:46:41and of course, in February, in the Hell in a Cell matchup, the defeat of The Rock.

00:46:46I mean, Triple H has done it all.

00:46:48Many say that it all goes back to King of the Ring in 1997, when Triple H won.

00:46:53The cape and the crown, symbolic of so much.

00:46:56It's symbolic of getting to the next level.

00:46:58It's symbolic of superstardom.

00:47:00Triple H doing everything he can here against Hardcore Holly to dictate the pace, slowing everything down.

00:47:05Well, Hardcore Holly exchanging right hands with Triple H, and now Hardcore Holly with the advantage.

00:47:09And the ball closes the champ back into the corner, and look at Holly go.

00:47:14Hardcore Holly needs to make a statement in this match, and that's what he's doing.

00:47:18Oh, but Hardcore can't let that paper-thin fuse.

00:47:21He's got to get the best of him and get himself disqualified.

00:47:24I telegraphed that one in the game with a boot to the face of Hardcore Holly.

00:47:27Look at this!

00:47:28Hardcore Holly with a sidewalk slam!

00:47:30Could be a huge upset!

00:47:31Cover!

00:47:32Two!

00:47:32And the game kicks out.

00:47:35Hardcore Holly believed it was a slow count.

00:47:37He cannot get into a game of questioning the referee.

00:47:40He's got to stay focused, stay on the offense, and by all means, keep Triple H in the ring.

00:47:46He can't win this contest with Triple H on the floor.

00:47:49Triple H knocked over the top rope, and look at the game.

00:47:52Playing top odds.

00:47:53Rolling hard for Holly.

00:47:55Uh-oh, wait a minute.

00:47:55Backfire.

00:47:57Steel stiff meeting skull of Triple H.

00:48:02Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, look of concern on her face.

00:48:05Look at the reversal.

00:48:05Oh, Hardcore Holly off the steel post.

00:48:07I guarantee you, Michael, that's seven days before the King of the Ring main event.

00:48:13This is not what Triple H needs.

00:48:15But Triple H widely rolled into the ring to break up the count that time, to come back

00:48:19out to take advantage of a fallen Hardcore Holly.

00:48:24You speak about the main event at King of the Ring, Kevin, you've got to give Triple H

00:48:27credit.

00:48:28You really do.

00:48:29He's going into this matchup, this six-man tag team matchup, with two men, Vincent Shay

00:48:33McMahon, who are great athletes, but who are not wrestlers on his side against

00:48:37three of the most powerful forces in the World Wrestling Federation today?

00:48:41Oh!

00:48:41Yeah, but is Triple H really the one at the disadvantage?

00:48:44Wait a minute.

00:48:44Cover hooks the leg for the game.

00:48:46There's two, and Hardcore kicks out.

00:48:48Michael, you said it yourself earlier on, that Triple H and the faction made the stipulation,

00:48:53giving number one contender status to either The Rock, The Undertaker, and Kane, whoever

00:48:56wins the fall of that match, solely for division.

00:49:01They want a divided conqueror.

00:49:02They want to turn The Rock, The Undertaker, and Kane against one another in that matchup.

00:49:06That's Triple H's advantage.

00:49:07Well, next week on Pay-Per-View at King of the Ring, we'll find out if The Rock, The Undertaker,

00:49:11and Kane can work together one more time, or if the title is more important to each of

00:49:16those individuals.

00:49:17Triple H now has firmly grasped the momentum of that match.

00:49:22Stopped the pain.

00:49:23Wow, you want to talk about rubbing somebody's face.

00:49:26And rubbing a knee in somebody's face there.

00:49:28Hooks the leg, should be it.

00:49:30Two, and Hardcore again.

00:49:31One, Brazilian kicks out.

00:49:33Cover again by the game.

00:49:35One, two, and again a kick out.

00:49:36Again a cover by the game.

00:49:38And the frustration starting to set in for Triple H.

00:49:41Is Triple H getting desperate that he has been as of yet unable to put Hardcore Holly away?

00:49:46Oh, wait a minute.

00:49:47Don't shove Timmy White.

00:49:49Don't shove Timmy White.

00:49:50He's been hit real life.

00:49:52Timmy White getting his Irish up there at Triple H.

00:49:55That wasn't a friendly temp.

00:49:57That was a shove by the referee.

00:49:59And all this time while Triple H is jawing with the ref,

00:50:03it's allowing Hardcore Holly to recover.

00:50:05Allowing him to get his win back.

00:50:06And now allowing Hardcore Holly to seize momentum in this matchup here on Heat.

00:50:10Triple H is in trouble.

00:50:11Reversal.

00:50:12Hardcore Holly off the rope.

00:50:13Sleeper by Triple H.

00:50:14Sleeper by Triple H.

00:50:15Reversal.

00:50:16Hardcore Holly.

00:50:17Slam.

00:50:17Right.

00:50:18Two tracks.

00:50:19And Kevin, I think Stephanie McMahon hopefully sees the wheels coming off the game's train.

00:50:24Triple H is in all kinds of trouble.

00:50:30Win or lose, Michael, I think Hardcore Holly has proved he belongs in the upper echelon of the World Wrestling Federation.

00:50:36A mistake there, though.

00:50:37Can the game capitalize?

00:50:38Well, Triple H going to the ropes.

00:50:40We don't see this often from the game.

00:50:42Iris maneuver from the champion.

00:50:43Can he pay for it?

00:50:46Hardcore Holly smelling blood.

00:50:51Triple H off the ropes.

00:50:52You can feel the intensity in the crowd.

00:50:55The tension here.

00:50:57That's an outstanding cross.

00:50:58Sweet.

00:50:59Got it.

00:51:00Cover.

00:51:00Could be it.

00:51:01Two.

00:51:02Kick out.

00:51:03Oh, man.

00:51:04Counted to by Triple H.

00:51:08The game ducks underneath the right hand.

00:51:10And look at this.

00:51:10What a slam by Hardcore.

00:51:12Again a hook in the leg.

00:51:13Again two.

00:51:14Almost three.

00:51:15Almost three.

00:51:17Oh, boy.

00:51:18You're talking millimeters there.

00:51:20Triple H's shoulder barely came off.

00:51:22Barely before the three.

00:51:24Well, Hardcore Holly's got to keep it up.

00:51:25He's got to keep the pressure on the game.

00:51:30Triple H is in all kinds of trouble.

00:51:32And you're right, Kevin.

00:51:32Oh, look at this.

00:51:34Second time Hardcore Holly dipped his head a beat too soon.

00:51:37Triple H just when you think he's down and out.

00:51:40He's in trouble.

00:51:41Pettigrew time for Triple H.

00:51:43Setting up Hardcore Holly.

00:51:44But Hardcore will be countered.

00:51:47Triple H into the turnbuckle.

00:51:50I don't believe what we're seeing here, Michael.

00:51:53Hardcore Holly on the verge of defeating Triple H here on heat.

00:51:56Hardcore Holly climbing the ladder.

00:51:58But nobody home.

00:52:00Head first into the turnbuckle.

00:52:02Wait a minute.

00:52:03Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley on the apron.

00:52:04Get her down.

00:52:05Timmy White.

00:52:05Wait a minute.

00:52:06She just tossed the championship into the ring.

00:52:09Wait a minute.

00:52:11Y2J.

00:52:12Chris Jericho.

00:52:13From behind, he gets Stephanie off the apron.

00:52:16Take a seat.

00:52:16This is McMahon-Helmsley.

00:52:18Jericho's in.

00:52:19Jericho in the ring.

00:52:20Championship to the face of Triple H.

00:52:22Now it's in a rally.

00:52:25Chris Jericho has got an issue with both of those fans.

00:52:29In Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

00:52:30Has cleared house.

00:52:32Take another look, Michael.

00:52:37With Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley having clawed the title behind the referee's back to her husband.

00:52:44Jericho seizes the day.

00:52:46Cloppers both Triple H and Hardcore Holly.

00:52:48Well, it's a damn shame for Hardcore Holly that it had to end this way.

00:52:52But Hardcore Holly, Kevin, made a major statement here tonight on Heat.

00:52:57If it's not for Chris Jericho, would Hardcore Holly have defeated Triple H?

00:53:02Chris Jericho better watch his depth.

00:53:04Stephanie's going to be on his tail.

00:53:05Folks, thanks for joining us on Heat.

00:53:07The numbers are overwhelming against The Rock, Undertaker, and Kane.

00:53:19Vince McMahon is still a genius.

00:53:21Look at Kane.

00:53:22No!

00:53:22Kane suplex right through the table.

00:53:25The Undertaker's being fast for the chair.

00:53:27And look at Shane in the ring.

00:53:28Hanging out The Rock.

00:53:29Triple H puts The Rock down in the ring.

00:53:31Pedigree, pedigree.

00:53:32He's working out so it's like Vince Blandon.

00:53:34He is a genius.

00:53:35Triple H is setting up The Rock.

00:53:37Giant killer to the top rope.

00:53:38Here he goes.

00:53:39Oh, my God.

00:53:40Look at Vince.

00:53:41Oh, he's watching The Rock, Kane.

00:53:43It's Vince's elbow.

00:53:44This is embarrassing.

00:53:46And now their fourth leader will have you to count.

00:53:48This is a damn humiliation.

00:53:50Vince McMahon just beat The Rock.

00:53:52It was a damn 12-on-3.

00:53:53I got a feeling we just got to split for the future.

00:53:56Yeah, but this Sunday, the WWF Championship's on the line.

00:53:59Look, look, look.

00:54:00You smell what Vince and the faction is cooking.

00:54:05All right.

00:54:08All right.

00:55:08Kevin Kelly, welcome everybody to Sunday Night Heat.

00:55:11We are less than 60 minutes away from the start of King of the Ring live on pay-per-view.

00:55:16Kevin, the WWF Championship is in jeopardy tonight like it has never been before.

00:55:21The following contest is scheduled for one fall, making his way to the ring, weighing in at allegedly over 400 pounds, Hardcore Holly!

00:55:30Hardcore Holly first up in action here on Heat.

00:55:34Quite a swagger on Hardcore Holly as always.

00:55:38Well, he's a big shot.

00:55:39I'll ask you this question.

00:55:40Is Trish Stratus doing it because she cares about these three guys, or is she doing it because she cares about herself?

00:55:45Wait a minute.

00:55:46Jeff Hardy, cover on Val Venus, and a kick out after one.

00:55:48And will Trish Stratus dump each one of these guys like a hot potato when it gets to that point?

00:55:53Well, time will tell if that is the result of any of their business relationships.

00:55:59But Jeff Hardy here looking to stand out on his own and become perhaps King of the Ring for the year 2000.

00:56:05I mentioned earlier, Billy Gunn, who won in 1999.

00:56:08He was a tag team smash.

00:56:09Pulled by Val, and a kick out by Jeff Hardy after two.

00:56:12And look at what winning the King of the Ring has done for the past winners.

00:56:15Stone Cold Steve Austin in 96, Triple H in 97.

00:56:18Even Bret Hart's career was propelled by winning the King of the Ring.

00:56:22You win the King of the Ring, you become an immediate player.

00:56:26And who will be the player this year as Trish Stratus puts on?

00:56:29Who will advance to the final eight in this matchup?

00:56:31Bull Buchanan's there already.

00:56:32Will it be Val Venus or Jeff Hardy joining Bull Buchanan?

00:56:36And you know, Kevin, Trish Stratus has not enamored herself with the Hardy Boys and Lita as of late.

00:56:44You speak of Thursday on SmackDown.

00:56:46Jeff was ready to deliver the Swanton Bomb.

00:56:48Trish knocked him off the apron.

00:56:50Brown of the squad of slapping Jeff in the face.

00:56:52Whoa!

00:56:52From there, Lita came down and got involved.

00:56:54Lita, I guess, a payback.

00:56:56A thank you for when the Hardy Boys saved Lita from this.

00:56:58A few weeks prior.

00:57:00Jeff Hardy up for the sleeper.

00:57:01Now Lita's caught up with a power bomb.

00:57:02Got it to cover.

00:57:03There's two.

00:57:04And Jeff Hardy just gets the shoulder off.

00:57:06I thought Val Venus had already advanced to the final eight right there with that maneuver.

00:57:09Great toughness for Jeff Hardy.

00:57:11And what about Lita's run-ins with a Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley this past week?

00:57:15Oh, my.

00:57:16Well, Linda McMahon gave Lita the opportunity.

00:57:18She deserved a chance at Stephanie McMahon.

00:57:21Look out.

00:57:21Cover by Jeff Hardy.

00:57:22There's one, two.

00:57:23And Val Venus just gets the shoulder up again.

00:57:25I should say Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, or there will be a memo in my box.

00:57:29The women's champion and Lita went toe-to-toe.

00:57:33No faction members could interfere, but it was Kurt Angle saving the day for Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

00:57:39Kurt Angle and Stephanie get little twinkles in their eyes when they're around one another.

00:57:42You feel it?

00:57:43Is it kind of an awkward moment when they're together?

00:57:45We better not say too much more.

00:57:46You know the game.

00:57:47And the referee's going to break the three count.

00:58:03All right, switch, miss.

00:58:05Easy now.

00:58:06She had every right.

00:58:07That's good strategy.

00:58:08Lita.

00:58:09Lita.

00:58:10Lita's here.

00:58:11Val Venus with a slam.

00:58:13Lita's had enough of that rich Trish Stratus.

00:58:16Lita and Trish are coming right in front of the bike, and they're going to get it all right.

00:58:19Val Venus, look out.

00:58:20Val, wait a minute.

00:58:21Hey, get your hands off her.

00:58:23Let her go.

00:58:25And look at Trish with the boot to the back of the head.

00:58:29And Jeff Hardy and Val Venus now.

00:58:33Trish Stratus.

00:58:35Oh, Val Venus is disgusting.

00:58:38And look at this.

00:58:39Trish now with Jeff Hardy's leg.

00:58:40And Val from behind.

00:58:44And the fisherman's suplex.

00:58:46Hooks the leg.

00:58:47Two.

00:58:48Val Venus advances into the final eight.

00:58:51Thanks to Trish Stratus.

00:58:52That's a damn shame for Jim Hardy.

00:58:55Val Venus.

00:58:56Well, the team of Trish Stratus and Val Venus sends Val into the final eight.

00:59:01When Lita came down to ringside to counteract Trish.

00:59:05Val Venus, the disgusting pig, grabbed her.

00:59:07And then from there, Trish grabbed a hold of Jeff.

00:59:11I don't know what referee Teddy Long is thinking about.

00:59:13And from there, the fisherman's suplexed and Val Venus scores the one, two, three advances

00:59:18for the final eight of the king of the race.

00:59:20I'm begging Teddy Long to get a clue.

00:59:22And I can guarantee you this thing between Lita and Trish is far from over.

00:59:27Boy, Michael, that is for sure.

00:59:28But take a look at the brackets now with the king of the race tournament.

00:59:31Val Venus advances to the final eight.

00:59:34Earlier on tonight here on Heat, Bull Buchanan also advanced to the final eight.

00:59:38The king of the race tournament will culminate next Sunday live on pay-per-view.

00:59:42And Kevin, don't forget, in minutes, Triple H has answered Hardcore Holly's challenge.

00:59:47They'll get it on tonight on Heat.

01:00:19I'm joining up with him.

01:00:22I forbid you to go.

01:00:23You're my child!

01:00:24You're my child!

01:00:25A father protecting his family.

01:00:28A son defending his beliefs.

01:00:30No!

01:00:30On June 28th...

01:00:33Might I request, sir, that you transfer my son here under my command?

01:00:35The battle comes home.

01:00:37Where'd you learn all that?

01:00:38Riding, shooting, scavenging.

01:00:40My father told me.

01:00:41Mel Gibson.

01:00:42This is not the conduct of a gentleman.

01:00:44I'll take that as a compliment.

01:00:46The Patriot opens everywhere June 28th.

01:00:49It's a free world.

01:01:13Skate it.

01:01:14Grind session.

01:01:15Ready for everyone.

01:01:16Play session.

01:01:21Hey!

01:01:22It's the new multi-pack from Always.

01:01:25Three levels of protection in one pack.

01:01:29Because not every day is the same.

01:01:31Three sizes, one pack.

01:01:32New Always multi-pack.

01:01:34Being a woman just got better.

01:01:35If I could see my clients every day, I'd promise they'd never see another flake of dandruff.

01:01:43I tell them, use head and shoulders every time they shampoo to help stop flakes before they even start.

01:01:48Perfect.

01:01:49The very best the sport has to offer.

01:01:55A tradition of excellence.

01:01:58A $1 million purse up the grabs.

01:02:02CTV Sportsnet brings you the North America Cup from Woodbine.

01:02:07Canada's richest harness race showcase of the finest paces on the continent.

01:02:10The North America Cup.

01:02:21Hanging with Hebsey.

01:02:23What's that all about?

01:02:24So how about chilling with Hebsey?

01:02:26Bringing some flavor.

01:02:28Game day.

01:02:29Hebsey day.

01:02:31Go, Hebsey.

01:02:32It's your birthday.

01:02:33Who's your daddy?

01:02:34Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet.

01:02:36Game day.

01:02:41Every day.

01:02:45Welcome back to Sunday Night Heat.

01:02:46And if you're just joining us, earlier tonight, Triple H accepted Hardcore Holly's challenge for a match.

01:02:52I don't care about a title shot.

01:02:53I just want to see if I can kick your ass, and I think I can.

01:02:57You don't care about a shot of a title?

01:02:58Nope.

01:02:59You just want a piece?

01:03:01Yep.

01:03:01I want a piece of the game.

01:03:04Well, I'll tell you what, then?

01:03:06Mr. I can't catch any fruit.

01:03:09You're on.

01:03:10You want to get beat up?

01:03:12It's on your head.

01:03:13You're on.

01:03:14So coming up in just moments, it will be Triple H versus Hardcore Holly Michael in a non-title match.

01:03:19That's coming up.

01:03:20But right now, let's take a look at the Hardcore Champion.

01:03:22As Crash Holly regained his Hardcore title this week and found some protection as well.

01:03:28There's Crash Holly.

01:03:31Drisco's a Hardcore Champion.

01:03:32And Crash Holly assaulting both Patterson and Driscoll.

01:03:36What's that idiot doing?

01:03:37Look out, Pat.

01:03:38You're going to have a Hardcore Column match.

01:03:41It comes Pat.

01:03:43Oh, my God.

01:03:45Did you hear that?

01:03:46Pat, you idiot.

01:03:47Patterson just nailed Brisco.

01:03:48Wait a minute.

01:03:49No way.

01:03:49Oh, Crash Holly.

01:03:51Listen to the ovation.

01:03:52Crash Holly's the new Hardcore.

01:03:55Where's Crash going?

01:03:55And he's going to make sure that I never know with my belt in here.

01:04:02What's all that paper?

01:04:04Where's Crash going?

01:04:05Yeah, you left your belt on top of your car, you idiot.

01:04:09Look, look at this.

01:04:10It's Crash Holly.

01:04:11I got to find this guy.

01:04:12I need protection.

01:04:15You can't stand.

01:04:16You guys are lost.

01:04:16And you're telling me what to do.

01:04:18You have no idea where you're at.

01:04:19And you're telling me what to do.

01:04:21All I want is one of those New York City hot dogs.

01:04:23You want a hot dog or you want your championship?

01:04:25Man, I want a souvenir from New York City.

01:04:28Jerry, you got to concentrate on Crash.

01:04:30Jerry, I think I just seen him.

01:04:31Hot dog, man?

01:04:32Oh, Crash.

01:04:33Oh, we're close.

01:04:35We're going to get a championship.

01:04:37You got to get to concentrate.

01:04:38Man, I know he's around here somewhere else.

01:04:42Schaaf.

01:04:42John Schaaf.

01:04:44That's my name.

01:04:46Man, aren't you supposed to have a party or something?

01:04:48No, man.

01:04:50I work alone.

01:04:51I'm with my uncle.

01:04:52Man, I heard you're like one bad mother.

01:04:54Shut your mouth.

01:04:57Wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:04:58I know you.

01:05:00You're Crash Holly.

01:05:02The hardcore champion.

01:05:03Yeah.

01:05:04So what can I do for you?

01:05:06Well, Mr. Schaaf, everybody's after me.

01:05:08I think someone's after me right now.

01:05:09Can you help me out?

01:05:11You try the APA?

01:05:13Yeah, but I got heat with them.

01:05:14Can you give me protection?

01:05:18Well, you're in luck, little man.

01:05:22She likes you.

01:05:24From now on, it's my duty to protect your booty.

01:05:30Excuse me, sir.

01:05:32Who the hell are you?

01:05:34Oh, we're Patterson and Brisco.

01:05:36Have you seen a little short guy walk around here?

01:05:39Looks like L. Roy Jetson?

01:05:40Yeah, that's the one.

01:05:41Had a big, ugly belt with him.

01:05:42Hey, that's my belt, but that's him.

01:05:44You didn't mention anything to me about that being your belt.

01:05:49And you let a little guy like that take your belt, huh?

01:05:51Jerry, you must be Shaaf.

01:05:55Oh, God!

01:05:57You're damn right.

01:06:06Greedy line.

01:06:07Who delivers ten times out of here?

01:06:14Now, what's my name?

01:06:16Shaaf!

01:06:19Can you dig it?

01:06:26Shaft is in theaters everywhere, and although Samuel is the man, he is not the game.

01:06:31Which leads us to this reminder, coming up next on Heat, Triple H, one-on-one against Hardcore Holly.

01:08:49Drive hard.

01:08:53Hey, Mr. Rickey.

01:08:54Boys, I want you to meet someone.

01:08:57Outstanding athlete, a former second lieutenant in the United States Army,

01:09:00and your new second baseman, Jackie Robinson.

01:09:04Hi, gentlemen.

01:09:06And now, batting for the Royals,

01:09:09le deuxième but, the second baseman, Jackie Robinson.

01:09:24Quatrième match, fourth inning.

01:09:27Bravo, Jackie!

01:09:30Jackie, Jackie!

01:09:33Jackie, Jackie!

01:09:36Jackie, Jackie!

01:09:38Jackie, Jackie!

01:09:40Record numbers of cheering Montrealers

01:09:42helped Jackie Robinson break baseball's color bar that year.

01:09:45He never forgot the city,

01:09:47but launched his journey to baseball's Hall of Fame.

01:09:57Oh, Kevin Hart for how he got his way.

01:10:00He's been running his mouth for a week, and finally he'll get a chance to play the game with the game.

01:10:10Following on title content, he's scheduled for one fall.

01:10:14He gets ready for Mobile, Alabama, weighing in an allegedly well over 400 pounds, Hardcore Hawley!

01:10:24Michael, I can tell you there's a lot of World Wrestling Federation superstars that want Hardcore Hawley to fail.

01:10:30He's a big jerk to everyone, and this is his opportunity.

01:10:34King of the Ring is presented by Subway, the way a sandwich should be.

01:10:38King of the Ring comes to you live next Sunday from the Fleet Center in Boston, Massachusetts, exclusively on pay-per-view.

01:10:46One, two, this on.

01:11:00And his opponent, being a company through the ring by the World Wrestling Federation women's champion, Stephanie McMahon Humphrey,

01:11:11Mark Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing in at 260 pounds, he is the World Wrestling Federation champion, Triple E!

01:11:22Hardcore Hawley stares up the ramp with the man that is the game, the World Wrestling Federation champion.

01:11:29Michael, Hardcore Hawley's been a tag team champion.

01:11:32He's been an intercontinental champion.

01:11:34He's held Hardcore Gold, but he's never gotten to the level of Triple H.

01:11:38And tonight, Hardcore Hawley has his opportunity to get to that next level.

01:11:43Well, Hardcore Hawley is a ruthless competitor.

01:11:46He'll do whatever it takes to win.

01:11:48And I hope for Triple H's sake, he knows what he's gotten himself into here tonight on Heat.

01:11:53It is not a title.

01:11:54He can't lose the title.

01:11:56But he can lose a lot more than that.

01:11:57He can lose his pride going into that huge six-man tag team match a week from tonight at King of the Ring.

01:12:03Is Triple H still obsessed with this story with The Rock, The Undertaker, and King that he will look beyond the athlete the caliber of Hardcore Hawley here tonight on Heat?

01:12:14If the game does, it could be game over.

01:12:17I'll tell you, Kevin, Hardcore Hawley may talk a big game.

01:12:21He may be a jerk.

01:12:22He may run his mouth.

01:12:23He may be in tremendous shape.

01:12:25He may be a great athlete.

01:12:26But with all that said, you have to admit Hardcore Hawley has got to have some butterflies going into this matchup against the champs.

01:12:33Well, you know, a lot is said about testicular fortitude.

01:12:37And Hardcore Hawley certainly is proving that he has that.

01:12:41Butterflies, I'm sure.

01:12:43But you know what?

01:12:43If Hardcore Hawley comes out here and talks all that trash and he doesn't back it up, then he'll have nothing left.

01:12:50Hardcore Hawley, in some respects, Michael, is putting his entire World Wrestling Federation career on the line.

01:12:57And keep in mind the wild card outside the ring.

01:13:00Triple H's wife, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, as this capacity crowd comes to its feet.

01:13:07All over the game, Triple H.

01:13:10You know, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley's had a very busy week.

01:13:12The whole situation we talked about earlier with Lita and the Women's Championship.

01:13:17The continuing saga with Chris Jericho.

01:13:19Costing Jericho a matchup on SmackDown Thursday night.

01:13:22And, of course, the situation with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Kurt Angle.

01:13:27Well, it certainly was a very busy week for all the members of the faction.

01:13:30And after the way we went off the air Thursday on SmackDown,

01:13:34The Undertaker has since been bailed out of jail.

01:13:37The Rock and Kane were left laying by the faction.

01:13:39You know that those three men are going to walk in a row tomorrow night live, red-hot, looking for revenge.

01:13:45Triple H, Hardcore Hawley squaring off.

01:13:47Think Triple H, a little surprised by the aggressiveness of Hardcore Hawley in the early going here on Heat.

01:13:54I'll tell you, Hardcore Hawley, Kevin, tremendous competitor.

01:13:57He will never back down from a challenge.

01:13:59He didn't get his nickname Hardcore for nothing.

01:14:01No, he's earned it.

01:14:02Years of competition here in the World Wrestling Federation.

01:14:05But Triple H has taken it to that next level.

01:14:08This is where Hardcore Hawley wants to be.

01:14:12Many will say that Triple H is the best, if not the best ever, World Wrestling Federation champion.

01:14:20And Hardcore with a stiff right hand in the game.

01:14:23That's the only speed that Hardcore knows.

01:14:25That's the only way Hardcore Hawley knows how to throw a punch.

01:14:28It's right square in your eye.

01:14:30Well, Triple H always goes 100% as well, Kevin.

01:14:32I mean, think about the accomplishments of Triple H over the past couple of title reigns, over the past few months.

01:14:38The elimination of Mick Foley, Cactus Jack, a Cactus Jack's own game, and the Royal Rumble, and of course, in February, in the Hell in a Cell matchup.

01:14:48The defeat of The Rock.

01:14:49I mean, Triple H has done it all.

01:14:50Many say that it all goes back to King of the Ring in 1997, when Triple H won.

01:14:57The cape and the crown, symbolic of so much.

01:14:59It's symbolic of getting to the next level.

01:15:01It's symbolic of superstardom.

01:15:03Triple H doing everything he can here against Hardcore Hawley to dictate the pace, slowing everything down.

01:15:08Well, Hardcore Hawley exchanging right hands with Triple H, and now Hardcore Hawley with the advantage.

01:15:12And for the ball, he closes the champ back into the corner, and look at Hawley go.

01:15:17Hardcore Hawley needs to make a statement in this match, and that's what he's doing.

01:15:21Oh, but Hardcore can't let that paper-thin fuse.

01:15:24He's got to get the best of him and get himself disqualified.

01:15:27All right, telegraph that one in the game with a boot to the face of Hardcore Hawley.

01:15:30Look at this.

01:15:31Hardcore Hawley with a sidewalk slam.

01:15:33Could be a huge upset.

01:15:34Cover, two, and the game kicks out.

01:15:38Hardcore Hawley believed it was a slow count.

01:15:41He cannot get into a game of questioning the referee.

01:15:44He's got to stay focused, stay on the offense, and by all means, keep Triple H in the ring.

01:15:49It can't win this contest with Triple H on the floor.

01:15:52Triple H knocked over the top rope, and look at the game.

01:15:55Playing top odds.

01:15:56Rolling Hardcore Hawley.

01:15:58Uh-oh, wait a minute.

01:15:59Backfire.

01:16:00Steel stiff meeting skull of Triple H.

01:16:05Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, look of concern on her face.

01:16:08Look at the reversals.

01:16:09Hardcore Hawley off the steel post.

01:16:12I guarantee you, Michael, that's seven days before the King of the Ring main event.

01:16:17This is not what Triple H needs.

01:16:18But Triple H wisely rolled into the ring to break up the count that time,

01:16:22to come back out to take advantage of a fallen Hardcore Hawley.

01:16:25You speak about the main event at King of the Ring.

01:16:29Kevin, you've got to give Triple H credit.

01:16:31You really do.

01:16:32He's going into this matchup, this six-man tag team matchup, with two men.

01:16:36Vince and Shane McMahon, and four great athletes.

01:16:38They were not wrestlers on his side against three of the most powerful forces in the World Wrestling Federation today.

01:16:44Oh!

01:16:44Yeah, but is Triple H really the one at the disadvantage?

01:16:47Wait a minute.

01:16:48Cover hooks the leg for the game.

01:16:49There's two.

01:16:49And Hardcore kicks out.

01:16:51Michael, you said it yourself earlier on, that Triple H and the faction made the stipulation,

01:16:56giving number one contender status to either The Rock, The Undertaker, and Kane,

01:16:59whoever wins the fall of that match.

01:17:02Solely for division.

01:17:04They want a divided conquered.

01:17:06They want to turn The Rock, The Undertaker, and Kane against one another in that matchup.

01:17:09That's Triple H's advantage.

01:17:11Well, next week on Pay-Per-View at King of the Ring, we'll find out if The Rock, The Undertaker, and Kane can work together one more time,

01:17:17or if the title is more important to each of those individuals.

01:17:21Triple H now has firmly grasped the momentum of that match.

01:17:25Stop the pain.

01:17:27Oh, you want to talk about rubbing somebody's face in it.

01:17:29And rubbing a knee in somebody's face there.

01:17:32Pumps the leg.

01:17:32Should be it.

01:17:33Two.

01:17:33And Hardcore again.

01:17:35One resilience kicks out.

01:17:37Cover again by Begain.

01:17:38One.

01:17:38Two.

01:17:38And again a kick out.

01:17:40Again a cover by Begain.

01:17:41And the frustration starting to set in for Triple H.

01:17:44Is Triple H getting desperate that he has been as of yet unable to put Hardcore Holly away?

01:17:50Oh, wait a minute.

01:17:50Don't shove Timmy White.

01:17:52Don't shove Timmy White.

01:17:53He's been heavy on it.

01:17:56Timmy White getting his Irish up there at Triple H.

01:17:58That wasn't a friendly temp.

01:18:00That was a shove by the referee.

01:18:02And all this time while Triple H is jawing with the ref,

01:18:06it's allowing Hardcore Holly to recover.

01:18:08Allowing him to get his win back.

01:18:09And now allowing Hardcore Holly to seize for a minute of this matchup here on Heat.

01:18:13Triple H is in trouble.

01:18:14Reversal.

01:18:15Hardcore Holly up the rope.

01:18:16Sleeper by Triple H.

01:18:17Sleeper by Triple H.

01:18:18Reversal.

01:18:19Hardcore Holly.

01:18:20Slams.

01:18:20What a duplex.

01:18:22And Kevin, I think Stephanie McMahon hopefully sees the wheels coming off the game's train.

01:18:30Triple H is in all kinds of trouble.

01:18:33Win or lose, Michael, I think Hardcore Holly has proved he belongs in the upper echelon of the World Wrestling Federation.

01:18:38A mistake there, though.

01:18:40Can the game capitalize?

01:18:42Well, Triple H go to the ropes.

01:18:43We don't see this often from the game.

01:18:45Oh, boy.

01:18:45High risk maneuver for the champion.

01:18:47Pay, pay for it.

01:18:49Hardcore Holly smelling blood.

01:18:54Triple H off the ropes.

01:18:55You can feel the intensity in the crowd.

01:18:59The tension here.

01:19:00And all standing cross.

01:19:01Sweet.

01:19:03Got it.

01:19:03Cover.

01:19:04Could be it.

01:19:04Two.

01:19:05Kick out.

01:19:06Oh, man.

01:19:07And we count it to by Triple H.

01:19:11The game ducks underneath the right hand.

01:19:13And look at this.

01:19:14What a slam by Hardcore.

01:19:15Again a hook in the leg.

01:19:16Again two.

01:19:17Almost three.

01:19:18Almost three.

01:19:20Oh, boy.

01:19:21You're talking millimeters there.

01:19:23Triple H's shoulder barely came off barely before the three.

01:19:27Well, Hardcore Holly's got to keep it up.

01:19:29He's got to keep the pressure on the game.

01:19:33Triple H is in all kinds of trouble.

01:19:35And you're right, Kevin.

01:19:35Oh, look at this.

01:19:37Second time.

01:19:38Hardcore Holly did this hit a beat too soon.

01:19:41Triple H just when you think he's down and out.

01:19:43He's in trouble.

01:19:44Pedigree time for Triple H.

01:19:46Setting up Hardcore Holly.

01:19:47But Hardcore will be countered.

01:19:50Triple H into the turnbuckle.

01:19:54I don't believe what we're seeing here, Michael.

01:19:56Hardcore Holly on the verge of defeating Triple H here on Heat.

01:20:00Hardcore Holly climbing the ladder.

01:20:01But nobody home.

01:20:03Head first into the turnbuckle.

01:20:05Wait a minute.

01:20:06Stephanie McMahon-Helsley on the apron.

01:20:08Get her down.

01:20:08Timmy White.

01:20:09Wait a minute.

01:20:09She just tossed the championship into the ring.

01:20:13Wait a minute.

01:20:14Y2J.

01:20:15There's Jericho.

01:20:16From behind.

01:20:17He gets Stephanie off the apron.

01:20:19Take a seat.

01:20:20Misses McMahon-Helsley.

01:20:21Jericho's in.

01:20:22Jericho in the ring.

01:20:23Championship to the face of Triple H.

01:20:25And off to the belly.

01:20:28Chris Jericho has got an issue with both of those men.

01:20:32And Stephanie McMahon-Helsley has cleared house.

01:20:39Take another look, Michael.

01:20:42With Stephanie McMahon-Helsley having thrown the title behind the referees back to her husband.

01:20:46And Jericho seizes the day.

01:20:49Cloppers both Triple H and Hardcore Holly.

01:20:52Well, it's a damn shame for Hardcore Holly that it had to end this way.

01:20:56But Hardcore Holly, Kevin, made a major statement here tonight on Heat.

01:21:00If it's not for Chris Jericho, would Hardcore Holly have defeated Triple H?

01:21:05Chris Jericho better watch his step.

01:21:07Stephanie's going to be at his tail.

01:21:08Folks, thanks for joining us on Heat.

01:21:10Thanks for joining us.

01:21:16Thanks.
