FunTranscript
00:00:00.
00:00:23Introducing the first participant from California,
00:00:26weighing 175 pounds.
00:00:30Rey Mysterio!
00:00:36Rey Mysterio, the 2006 Royal Rumble winner,
00:00:40who went on to WrestleMania 22
00:00:43and became the heavyweight champion of the world.
00:00:47I'm looking forward to this.
00:00:49They got the band back together.
00:00:51The band's back together.
00:00:52Well, it's great to be back over here, Jerry.
00:00:54You know, usually it's good to be number one,
00:00:56but not when it comes to the Royal Rumble.
00:00:59It's not too bad to be number two usually,
00:01:01but not when it comes to the Royal Rumble.
00:01:03That means if you're going to win this thing,
00:01:05you got to outlast everyone.
00:01:07Rey Mysterio has the, well, the unfortunate distinction
00:01:10of starting off this majestic Royal Rumble.
00:01:13And Rey at one time went 62 minutes and 12 seconds.
00:01:17A record, the record as far as longevity in a Royal Rumble.
00:01:23So, Rey has proven that he can do it.
00:01:26He's done it in the past, but can he do it tonight?
00:01:29And let's see what Rey's opponent will be.
00:01:32That'll be great!
00:01:34Now listen, the racing for this thing,
00:01:42from a special, California,
00:01:44rate 219, and our team is one half of the World's Tag Team Champions,
00:01:49two-time Slammy Award winner, Sean Morrison!
00:01:53JR, don't you wish we could do that with our hair?
00:01:58I like to have abs like that.
00:02:01John Morrison, no doubt, ladies and gentlemen,
00:02:06would love to win the Royal Rumble match and then roar into our next
00:02:12opportunity to join you on pay-per-view.
00:02:15Of course, it's Seattle up with the big No Way Out Elimination Chamber.
00:02:21Well, that's absolutely a brutal Elimination Chamber.
00:02:30So, we start here with John Morrison and Rey Mysterio.
00:02:34In 90 seconds, intern number three of 30 will enter the contest.
00:02:41Well, King, there's a lot about the luck of the draw and getting a break here or
00:02:47there to win this, but golly, the winner gets such a huge reward at the end of the night.
00:02:55Well, that's what the Royal Rumble is all about.
00:02:57That's why it is, well, the most unpredictable and exciting event that we have in the WWE.
00:03:03It only happens once a year and it's started right now.
00:03:06The winner of the Royal Rumble match guaranteed a championship match and
00:03:12a main event at WrestleMania, the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
00:03:17Well, these are two talented athletic, I think, dare say,
00:03:23athletically innovative competitors.
00:03:26Rey Mysterio went over the top, but remember, both his feet must touch the ground
00:03:34to be eliminated.
00:03:35That's why the officials are gonna all be on the outside here tonight, looking for feet.
00:03:39Both feet touching the ground is a bad thing.
00:03:45That means you're eliminated from the Royal Rumble and Rey was close there for a second.
00:03:49Now, look at this.
00:03:50Nice move.
00:03:52Mysterio using the ropes.
00:03:57My goodness.
00:03:59What a beautiful head scissor takeover.
00:04:03Twisting and turning, and there goes.
00:04:04Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:04:07More and worse than athletic enough to grab the disc with the top rope.
00:04:13Still.
00:04:14The feet, the feet.
00:04:15Still.
00:04:16Referee looking for feet there.
00:04:18One, four, three.
00:04:20And the clock's down to two.
00:04:21Here's one half of the WWE Tag Champions.
00:04:33Carlito, who along with his brother Primo, compete every Friday night on SmackDown.
00:04:40And it's, again, every man for himself.
00:04:45I was about to say, no time for eating apples when it comes to the Royal Rumble.
00:04:50But Carlito came with a mouthful.
00:04:52Man, what a scintillating, swinging net brick.
00:04:59And here goes Carlito, but only to the apron.
00:05:04Well, judging by what we've seen from these competitors so far, look at this.
00:05:10Beautiful springboard succession of springboard maneuvers by Carlito.
00:05:15I think these superstars have been schooling themselves for
00:05:20on ways to avoid hitting that floor after being thrown over the top rope.
00:05:26I get up every morning and I'm thankful about both feet are on the floor.
00:05:29Yeah.
00:05:30But not tonight for these guys.
00:05:31Look at this.
00:05:32Bing.
00:05:33Spring.
00:05:34Hit.
00:05:35Man.
00:05:36It's like poetry in motion there.
00:05:38But it wasn't a good thing for Morrison.
00:05:41Three of the great young superstars here in the WWE.
00:05:45Yeah.
00:05:46SmackDown, Monday Night Raw, and of course,
00:05:50John Morrison and his partner Miz often appearing on ECW, on SyFy.
00:05:56That's why Brandon Starr, if you will.
00:06:02And they're always appearing on WWE.com with your dirt sheet.
00:06:05Three, two, one.
00:06:06Well, MVP could certainly erase a lot of losses.
00:06:17He got out of the loss, caught him with the helpless sledgehammer on Triple H a
00:06:22couple of weeks ago.
00:06:24MVP back to his winning ways on a big win streak, and he would love to continue it
00:06:28here tonight.
00:06:29I don't know how big a winning streak, but it's a winning streak.
00:06:33Very talented guy.
00:06:35All I know is, earlier today, MVP came up to King Dan Orbeck on a big win streak.
00:06:42Nice throw by MVP.
00:06:44Yes!
00:06:45Lowest reigning US Champion in Friday Night SmackDown history.
00:06:48Man, nice crisp offense.
00:06:53But again, the object, throw your opponents over the top rope, and
00:06:58make sure both of their feet touch the floor.
00:07:00MVP doing a good job of trying to get his opponents,
00:07:04first incapacitated and enabling him to throw him over.
00:07:09MVP ducked just in time, and a drive by taking down John Morrison.
00:07:16Looks like MVP got his sights set on Rey Mysterio.
00:07:22Mysterio's got other thoughts.
00:07:26Mysterio wants on the Pallion.
00:07:29And again, Mysterio able to land on the apron.
00:07:32That's about the second or third time Mysterio's got the tightrope.
00:07:37This was a short 90 seconds.
00:07:38Four, three, two, one.
00:07:41Uh-oh.
00:07:46Well, I think business has picked up King, at least in size.
00:07:51You're right there.
00:07:52And the size matters.
00:07:53This guy matters a lot because he's 73, 420 pounds.
00:07:59The most popular athlete from India ever in the WWE.
00:08:03The great Khali.
00:08:04Well, business is picking up and all the superstars in the ring are gonna be looking up now.
00:08:09Whoa.
00:08:10Khali's gotta get in the ring to be eliminated.
00:08:15I think that was sound strategy on the part of Carlito and these guys trying to take Khali out early.
00:08:22Even though it's every man for himself, common sense has got to come into play at some point.
00:08:27I don't think there's any one man in this Rumble that's gonna be able to single-handedly eliminate the great Khali.
00:08:35Strength.
00:08:36Goal.
00:08:37He's a, you hear that long time.
00:08:39That's it.
00:08:40He is the Punjabi playboy.
00:08:42Who is that?
00:08:43Yeah.
00:08:44What a Rey Mysterio.
00:08:46That had no effect.
00:08:47That's where the head would Rey come from.
00:08:49Well, it's every man for himself.
00:08:51Well, I guess we can scratch the backstabber.
00:08:56Didn't even scratch the backstabber.
00:08:59Okay.
00:09:00I didn't even get it.
00:09:01Punjabi plunge.
00:09:05This doesn't look anything like the Khali kiss can, does it?
00:09:09It does not.
00:09:10Khali has dominance as he arrives at number five.
00:09:15Well, we go from India to Russia.
00:09:20And the global presence of the WWE has never been better illustrated.
00:09:25The undefeated Russian, Vladimir Kozlov.
00:09:28This should be most interesting here.
00:09:31Khali and Kozlov.
00:09:33And look at that vice, the Khali vice.
00:09:36Kozlov's head being squashed immediately upon entering.
00:09:40Kozlov's got that batter in him.
00:09:42Yes!
00:09:43Good lord.
00:09:44I can't believe it.
00:09:45Kozlov.
00:09:46I can't believe it either.
00:09:47He single-handedly eliminated Khali.
00:09:50Whoa.
00:09:51That's impressive.
00:09:53Very, very impressive.
00:09:55And look at the MVP showing no intimidation.
00:09:58No fear, no backup from the, from Vladimir Kozlov.
00:10:03What a shot.
00:10:04Man.
00:10:05Right to the kidneys.
00:10:06Whoa.
00:10:07Ow.
00:10:08The MVP can get back on that winning streak at another time.
00:10:15We've had two lifts in it now.
00:10:17Nope, nope, nope.
00:10:18Just two eliminations.
00:10:19Valido lands on his, on the apron.
00:10:21Two eliminations, courtesy of Kozlov.
00:10:25Vladimir Kozlov's first ever Royal Rumble man.
00:10:29Whoa!
00:10:30Whoa!
00:10:32Whoa!
00:10:33Whoa!
00:10:35Kozlov imposing his will.
00:10:39And will there be another elimination?
00:10:41Yes!
00:10:42Indeed there will.
00:10:43Kozlov eliminated three men.
00:10:45Go!
00:10:47Go!
00:10:48Go!
00:10:49Am kicked off!
00:10:50No.
00:10:51Me!
00:10:52Seven!
00:10:53Two!
00:10:54Three!
00:10:55Number eight is about to join us.
00:10:56Three!
00:10:57Two!
00:10:58One!
00:10:59Leigh's trying to go for the-
00:11:04Lobby KOZ 저 calendar CEO
00:11:07Well, standing ovation is for the 2002 Royal Rumble winner.
00:11:13The game enters at number seven, and Kozloff in the game,
00:11:18blocking tits, menacing eyes.
00:11:21This is gonna be good.
00:11:28To late to Kozloff involved in the handicap match two days ago,
00:11:36and this is how that match started, and it's continuing right here.
00:11:42Virtual Slugfest from these two, and a battering ram.
00:11:49What a, that headbutt is a battering ram maneuver.
00:11:53Look at that.
00:11:54Part of the Sturman.
00:11:55Lager's coming in with such a moment,
00:11:57Jarred Kozloff as well.
00:11:59Look at the strength of Vladimir.
00:12:03Vladimir, 6'6", about 300 pounds.
00:12:07And the game has eliminated Kozloff.
00:12:11John Morrison kind of laid in the weeds like a slug is best natural defense.
00:12:22Kozloff is in there.
00:12:23Kozloff eliminated three men, but just got eliminated by the game.
00:12:27So we've got three men now, Triple H,
00:12:33the match, and basketball.
00:12:34John Morrison and Rey Mysterio.
00:12:36As the clock ticks down to number eight.
00:12:38Mysterio still stuck in the fence of it.
00:12:42Blaster, plastic.
00:12:43Wow.
00:12:44Morrison holds on.
00:12:48Morrison holds on, but look at this.
00:12:55Without question, the most controversial individual in all the WWE,
00:13:01Randy Orton.
00:13:04Randy Orton has never won the Royal Rumble.
00:13:09Orton in the game, members of Evolution.
00:13:12Well,
00:13:16Orton's saying earlier that he hasn't heard what retribution he's gonna suffer for.
00:13:26What his actions that he called against Mr. McMahon.
00:13:29Look at Orton now, ready to strike like a Coiled Viper.
00:13:32Here it is, RKO.
00:13:33Orton thinking RKO, and now the game looking to check out Orton's pedigree.
00:13:39John Morrison intervened.
00:13:43Well, not judicious that one, and now Rey Mysterio, let's see the sub-Sultan.
00:13:48Man, that big knee right to the midsection of Rey.
00:13:52The Sultan, and now, hey, hey, hey, hey, you got the number.
00:13:56Down it up.
00:13:57And look at the carnage and the bodies lying in the ring.
00:14:09This is what's great about the Royal Rumble.
00:14:11You got to get one of these guys, somebody be thrown over the top rope,
00:14:17both feet hitting the floor, to be eliminated.
00:14:19Yo-Yo is next.
00:14:23Hey!
00:14:24It's primetime.
00:14:26Which ones are gonna be?
00:14:31Big Chad or JTG?
00:14:33It can only be one to go for the coin.
00:14:35Is that a coin?
00:14:36What do you think, was it two?
00:14:39No telly, maybe a license plate he's got made.
00:14:43That's a double-sided coin.
00:14:47JTG wins the toss and is elected to offend.
00:14:52It was a two-headed coin.
00:14:54Nice quick off by JTG.
00:15:03That's what's great about the Royal Rumble.
00:15:04You know, the later you come in, the fresher you are, and the more worn down your opponents are.
00:15:10Triple H, Morrison, Orton, Rey Mysterio, all these guys have been battling JTG fresh.
00:15:17They're glad they've been JTG and might have stuck with someone else,
00:15:20other than the cerebral assassin to first try to eliminate.
00:15:24Look at Randy Orton on the other side with Rey Mysterio.
00:15:26Mysterio teetering.
00:15:27And they need 40 television cameras to cover out of the action.
00:15:33Look at Mysterio holding on.
00:15:37Remember, the winner of the Royal Rumble match goes to the 25th anniversary of
00:15:42WrestleMania and competes for a title in the main event.
00:15:45Three, two, three.
00:15:48Good Lord, he's down in seconds.
00:15:49I'm telling you.
00:15:50Blast him back.
00:15:51Four, three, three, four.
00:15:54And I climbed it.
00:15:55Here comes Ted DiBiase, the son of the million dollar man, Ted DiBiase.
00:16:06And this should be very interesting, considering it's supposed to be every man for himself.
00:16:11DiBiase and, of course, Randy Orton, along with Cody Rhodes, have got us.
00:16:16I've been watching Monday Night Raw.
00:16:18Well, you're right.
00:16:20And I think that Randy Orton has made it clear to Priceless or to the legacy that
00:16:26Randy Orton, wait a minute, Randy Orton needs to be the winner of this Royal Rumble,
00:16:30but Orton's almost out at the hands of Triple H, look.
00:16:32Randy Orton is teetering.
00:16:34Near elimination.
00:16:36Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:16:40JTG hanging on by one hand, Morrison as well, they're kicking, still fighting.
00:16:50Mysterio in trouble.
00:16:52Good Lord, the Hulk, wait a minute, Hulk.
00:16:58Well, that's Randy Orton and DiBiase.
00:17:01DiBiase and Rey Mysterio on one side of the ring.
00:17:04Morrison and JTG and then Orton and Triple H.
00:17:09And as close as every one of those guys came to being eliminated,
00:17:12they all saved themselves.
00:17:15Well, that's what it means to compete and do everything you can to do that.
00:17:19And no goal in terms.
00:17:24That was very effective though, nonetheless.
00:17:26The 2008 superstar of the year, who got fired on Monday Night Raw about a week ago,
00:17:47got re-hired in a groveling apology.
00:17:52And now you know that, I think that may have really motivated Chris Jericho.
00:17:58He was going right for Randy Orton.
00:17:59These two guys just had a conversation not a half an hour ago.
00:18:03Well, Jericho told Randy Orton in no uncertain terms,
00:18:07he thinks this is Randy Orton's last night in the WWE.
00:18:11Jericho couldn't well be right.
00:18:13Darn right it could.
00:18:14Orton just waiting to hear what his fate is gonna be after his actions last week.
00:18:18He's gonna be right.
00:18:24Triple H sent to the right far side.
00:18:26And again, it's all about going over the top rope.
00:18:29Both feet of your opponents touching the ground.
00:18:32Lion Salt, the play table to move out of the way.
00:18:35It's not a Lion Salt night.
00:18:37No, it's not.
00:18:39Walls of Jericho looking to redeem his very leg strength.
00:18:47That's from a man that's had both of his quads reattached.
00:18:52Think about that, ladies and gentlemen.
00:18:55A friend who's gotta feel good about himself when he sees that move from Triple H.
00:18:59The game got one reattached, came in and won the 2002 Royal Rumble.
00:19:04But that's not a gut check, there's no such thing.
00:19:07Look at Orton in.
00:19:11DiBiase double-teaming Morrison.
00:19:14Jericho.
00:19:16One leg dangling.
00:19:18Four, three, two, one.
00:19:21Who's gonna join us?
00:19:22Uh-oh.
00:19:28This monstrous Mike Knox.
00:19:30This guy's a little psychotic as this huge Mike Knox.
00:19:33A little psychotic.
00:19:35Yeah, he's going right to Rey Mysterio, just like we've seen on Monday Night Raw.
00:19:40And Mike Knox has the audacity to claim that he doesn't know why he attacks Rey Mysterio,
00:19:45has nothing against Rey Mysterio.
00:19:47I don't know if he doesn't know why.
00:19:48Not that I want to get close to the Mike Knox and ask it, right?
00:19:58That's what we're gonna see here.
00:20:04This is supposed to be every man for himself.
00:20:06ATG's legacy is in question.
00:20:11Orton and DiBiase ganging up, if you will, on ATG.
00:20:17Rey Mysterio.
00:20:19Rey about to be eliminated at the hands of Mike Knox.
00:20:23And the game interrupted that to get a piece of Mike Knox.
00:20:29Would anybody want a piece of Mike Knox?
00:20:31That's a very good question.
00:20:35One I cannot relate to.
00:20:38There's lucky number 13.
00:20:52One, two, one.
00:20:54Well, another chance to see if every man will indeed be for himself.
00:21:07As John Morris' tag team partner, The Miz, one half of the world tag champions.
00:21:12Miz comes in fist flying.
00:21:14As you said, the freshman in is invigorated.
00:21:18He can see what's going on, see who's been weakened.
00:21:21Yep.
00:21:22A little bit of advanced planning.
00:21:24The later the numbers go, the more planning the superstars should be able to do.
00:21:29Miz doing some damage here.
00:21:30He just laid out Triple H, now Rey Mysterio.
00:21:33And there's a shot to the kidneys of Randy Orton.
00:21:37Miz's tights look like they're made by a landowner.
00:21:41Here you go.
00:21:42There's some double team.
00:21:44Yep.
00:21:45Miz and Morrison double teaming Randy Orton.
00:21:50Uh-oh.
00:21:51Everybody home there for The Miz.
00:21:54Look at what that little turn bubble feels like.
00:21:57Whoa.
00:21:58Orton with the RKO.
00:22:03Thunderously delivered nine of both tag team champions.
00:22:08Look out.
00:22:09And JTG gets one.
00:22:11Orton's on an RKO rampage, and now stopped by the game.
00:22:15Pedigree.
00:22:17Orton's pedigree was just thoroughly checked.
00:22:22And the game just eliminated the tag champions.
00:22:27One, two, three, two.
00:22:30Well, the tag champions were put on Green Street by Randy Orton's RKO, and
00:22:35Triple H sent him for a ride.
00:22:37And Rey Mysterio.
00:22:40Look at Rey, look at Rey Mysterio.
00:22:42Mysterio's feet never touched the ground.
00:22:45He used Miz and Morrison as stepping stones.
00:22:47And The Quiet Man, The Irishman, Finley.
00:22:51This ought to be right down Finley's alley.
00:22:53He loves to fight.
00:22:54It's like being in a tavern or a pub, I should say.
00:22:58In Belfast.
00:22:59Yeah.
00:23:00It's not a real happy hour.
00:23:02They don't have happy hour over there until the fight starts.
00:23:07Finley with little bombs away action.
00:23:12And look at this.
00:23:15Finley trying to eliminate Chris Jericho.
00:23:17And Rey Mysterio giving an assist.
00:23:19Right, some of the pubs that Finley frequents, this is the way they decide who picks up the tab.
00:23:29Something you usually don't ever do.
00:23:31Look at this.
00:23:32Look at Horton.
00:23:33Horton was in a very precarious spot there until Mike Knox tried to pick off Finley.
00:23:39Mike Knox.
00:23:44Man, Finley giving it to Mike Knox here.
00:23:48On the left side, Finley came with a lot of force.
00:23:51Wow.
00:23:52My goodness.
00:23:53Finley has hit everybody in this match, at least once.
00:23:56I think he just kicked one of JTG's gold teeth out.
00:23:59Could be worse than one.
00:24:01Orton again, Randy Orton saving Ted DiBiase.
00:24:08So obviously when it comes to Orton and DiBiase, it's not every point size.
00:24:12Clearly not.
00:24:13And speaking of that, speaking of legacy, the son of the American dream Dusty Rhodes
00:24:22will be joining Ted DiBiase and Randy Orton in a every man for himself match.
00:24:29Look at this.
00:24:30It's like, let's go, fellas.
00:24:31Little pep talk for Randy Orton in there, as you said, reinvigorated.
00:24:35I know there's three men triple teaming the game.
00:24:42Obviously legacy, highly intelligent second generation stars looking to pick off the
00:24:49baddest and the strongest most.
00:24:51This certainly appears to be a collusionary effort.
00:25:01I know I'm not a detective.
00:25:02At least for the moment, it's not every man for himself.
00:25:05It's three men for legacy.
00:25:11Man, the Mysterio score.
00:25:14Is Rey Mysterio amazing?
00:25:18I think Rey Mysterio coming in with an RKO.
00:25:22If it did, it happened in a blink of an eye.
00:25:26I'd love to see that again.
00:25:27Yeah, it was definitely-
00:25:28Mysterio and John Morrison now in the first two men in the ring.
00:25:30Let's see if we can see what happens.
00:25:31Rey incoming.
00:25:32Yes!
00:25:33You're exactly right.
00:25:34Whoa!
00:25:35That's why you're in the Hall of Three.
00:25:36That was a great counter by Orton.
00:25:40You have to give the devil his due then.
00:25:42JTG wearing out.
00:25:45Jericho.
00:25:46Nobody close to being eliminated right now.
00:25:49Who's next?
00:25:50Well, there's no guesswork.
00:26:00When the lights go out and hear their music, walking down the road to WrestleMania, right down the double line, is a man that's never lost at WrestleMania.
00:26:13And that has calculated the sold out crowd and every superstar in the ring.
00:26:21You see from the expressions of the faces of everyone, The Undertaker's about to make an impact.
00:26:27The 2007 winner of the Royal Rumble.
00:26:31The Demon of Death Valley is in his element, striking.
00:26:36One, two, three.
00:26:37One, two, three.
00:26:39No one's safe from the arm slot of The Undertaker.
00:26:42Even JTG must obey the law of gravity when it's administered by The Undertaker.
00:26:48JTG got some hang time, thanks to The Undertaker.
00:26:52Man, the star power in this Royal Rumble match.
00:26:59Just look at those three right there, The Undertaker, Randy Orton, and The Game, Triple H.
00:27:04Undertaker, one of the dominant superstars on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:27:11SmackDown Superstar has won four of the last six Royal Rumble matches.
00:27:19And your Cody Rhodes, if you will, just ate September.
00:27:26Three, two, one.
00:27:29The skeleton in his family's closet.
00:27:40The bizarre and oftentimes controversial Goldust.
00:27:46To your right, Goldust is bizarre and he is controversial.
00:27:53Look at this.
00:28:00Whoa.
00:28:01Good one.
00:28:02Get back up.
00:28:11Cody.
00:28:12Hold on.
00:28:13Land on his feet on that ring apron.
00:28:16I thought Cody was history there.
00:28:18What is this?
00:28:20Patented move by Goldust.
00:28:23Once again, Cody.
00:28:24Two.
00:28:25Two.
00:28:26Two.
00:28:27Two.
00:28:28And Goldust records.
00:28:32RKO.
00:28:33The suddenness, the effectiveness of the RKO again.
00:28:38The RKO again.
00:28:40I think Orton just struck.
00:28:53DiBiase.
00:28:54DiBiase is about to be eliminated, but look at this.
00:28:57One, two, five, four, three.
00:29:04DiBiase in trouble if Orton and the Rhodes haven't noticed.
00:29:09DiBiase is in danger.
00:29:17CM Punk.
00:29:18The new Intercontinental Champion.
00:29:21CM Punk.
00:29:22Whoa.
00:29:23Making his third Royal Rumble appearance.
00:29:28And man, has this guy been in a role.
00:29:30Boy, a great CM Punk to do some serious damage.
00:29:35And in seven months, CM Punk has won the ECW title, the world title, and the Intercontinental title.
00:29:42Now that's a role.
00:29:43How big would it be for CM Punk to win this Royal Rumble?
00:29:46Uh-oh.
00:29:47He won the Money in the Bank ladder match as well.
00:29:49At WrestleMania.
00:29:50Hey, hey, hey.
00:29:51Looking to put the game to sleep.
00:29:55The goal to sleep just nailed the cerebral assassin.
00:30:04Jericho.
00:30:05Jericho in jeopardy over here.
00:30:06He's hanging on.
00:30:08He's wrapped around the top rope, the bottom rope.
00:30:12Foiled.
00:30:13Trying to avoid elimination.
00:30:16Jericho doing all he can to stay in this Royal Rumble match.
00:30:21Perhaps a thumb to the eye just saved Jericho.
00:30:26Mysterio in big trouble.
00:30:28Mysterio, Mysterio holding on.
00:30:31Mike Knox trying to eliminate Rey Mysterio.
00:30:34I think those ring steps saved Mysterio when he was able to catch himself before he hit the floor on those ring steps.
00:30:41Whoa, no.
00:30:43The strongest man in the world, Mark Henry.
00:30:47Who could ever throw him over the top rope?
00:30:50And this is gonna make everybody reevaluate the game plan.
00:30:57A 600 pound bench presser can throw anybody over the top rope, I'll assure you.
00:31:07Those huge headbutts being delivered by Mark Henry, finding their mark, so to speak.
00:31:12Mark Henry imposing his massive near 400 pound will on The Undertaker.
00:31:17Well, you know, and just looking at this, JR, I don't know if I can remember ever having as many participants not eliminated in the ring at one time as we have right now.
00:31:36Man.
00:31:38Rey Mysterio has been in the ring about 25 minutes.
00:31:42There's a big offense on the part of Jericho on The Undertaker here.
00:31:46Mysterio came in at number two.
00:31:48Mark Henry just dropping all his weight right on the chest of Triple H.
00:31:54He's got a lot of, he's got a lot of damage being delivered.
00:32:01Finley, Finley.
00:32:02Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:32:03Punk.
00:32:04The Punk's three back in on the bottom rope, very athletic to save himself.
00:32:11And the United States Champion representing Friday Night SmackDown, the gold standard, Shelton Benjamin.
00:32:22I'll tell you, JR, what this shows me is that how much this Royal Rumble,
00:32:27how much winning this Royal Rumble means to all of these guys.
00:32:30I mean, they have obviously prepared themselves on the art of being thrown over the top rope,
00:32:35but still not letting your feet hit the floor.
00:32:37I mean, how many guys, how many close calls have we seen?
00:32:40We've seen some amazing athleticism, and you're right, a lot of preparation.
00:32:45And look at Jericho and Punk, they're both up there in no man's land.
00:32:49That's not where you want to be in this type of match.
00:32:52Look at Mysterio.
00:32:53And what elevation by Benjamin.
00:32:55But Jericho and Punk on the second rope, Jericho went from the top rope.
00:33:02Punk trying to hit, but Jericho up the top.
00:33:05Look at Benjamin.
00:33:06Good Lord, what a move.
00:33:08That was like a double DT, but it was the wrong way.
00:33:12Arguing with the best pure athlete in the WWE.
00:33:15Uh-oh.
00:33:16Well.
00:33:17Whoa.
00:33:18Man.
00:33:19What a kick.
00:33:20Uh-oh, you're gonna see him, Punk.
00:33:25Look at Punk holding.
00:33:27Watch his feet.
00:33:28Referee there to get a good look.
00:33:30Triple H has been in this match the second longest as we speak.
00:33:34Approximately 20 minutes.
00:33:36Five, eight, seven, six.
00:33:39Five seconds away from the next entrance.
00:33:41Three, two, one.
00:33:44Well, a man that came close and becoming the, and retaining his Intercontinental title
00:33:54last week on Raw.
00:33:56Certainly I know our fans in United Kingdom watching on Skybox Office.
00:34:00I was just about to say Rey Mysterio was about to,
00:34:03join the ranks of the eliminated here, but somehow missed.
00:34:09Exploder suplex by Regal.
00:34:14Look at Regal, man, he is taking his wrath out on the man that beat Regal for
00:34:20the Intercontinental title, CM Punk.
00:34:22And you can see the vicious attack that Regal is delivering there on CM Punk.
00:34:29Very personal for Regal.
00:34:32Look at Nox, Nox in the corner over here.
00:34:34Finley almost has, Nox eliminated.
00:34:35Mark Henry's walking away to Mark Henry.
00:34:38Nox has gone over the top rope, but he's back in underneath now.
00:34:44Mark Henry just got eliminated, folks.
00:34:47We apologize.
00:34:50Look at this.
00:34:51Rey Mysterio simply pulled that rope down and
00:34:54Henry's own momentum took him out of the Royal Rumble match.
00:34:58You gotta pay attention every second.
00:35:00Look at Triple H.
00:35:01Triple H.
00:35:02Triple H.
00:35:03Triple H is upside down.
00:35:04He can be eliminated anytime.
00:35:05Whoa.
00:35:06The game, getting seated on the turnbuckle, still holding on.
00:35:13But how close was that?
00:35:15He's back in underneath that bottom rope.
00:35:18Kofi Kingston.
00:35:28Interant number 22, representing beautiful Jamaica.
00:35:33Kofi Kingston, I was gonna say, I don't know if there's enough room in this ring right now for
00:35:38Kofi Kingston to utilize his expertise, but he's doing a good job.
00:35:44Kofi's so athletic.
00:35:47Wow.
00:35:48Nothing Kofi Kingston can't do in the ring, I can tell you that.
00:35:52But can he win the Royal Rumble match?
00:35:55Nice elevation.
00:35:57Yeah, but Kofi needs to elevate some of these superstars over the top rope,
00:36:01down onto the floor.
00:36:03Can you believe that Rey Mysterio's been in this match over 30 years?
00:36:0733 minutes.
00:36:09Well, you know what?
00:36:10He might do it again.
00:36:11Could you imagine that, J.R.?
00:36:13I'm trying to count how many superstars are in this ring at one time, and look at The Undertaker.
00:36:19Undertaker busted open.
00:36:21That's not gonna do his adversaries any favors.
00:36:25Benjamin trying to take advantage of The Undertaker.
00:36:35Whoa.
00:36:40And there goes Benjamin at the hands of The Undertaker.
00:36:45All about the Benjamins for The Undertaker.
00:36:47There's Rey.
00:36:48There's Rey.
00:36:49Rey Mysterio, who's been in this match the longest, about to be illuminated.
00:36:55Rey about to be dropped on his head outside on the ring floor.
00:36:59On the ring floor.
00:37:00Man, man.
00:37:06The man that holds the record for the most illuminations.
00:37:10Look at Rey.
00:37:11Rey.
00:37:12Rey.
00:37:16Rey just barely surviving there.
00:37:19The McCain.
00:37:24Undertaker, Kane.
00:37:25Now that could be an unholy alliance if they decided to have some collusionary or some partnership.
00:37:32As I said, I think there's either 12 or 13 superstars in this ring at one time.
00:37:38I don't believe I've ever seen this many of the Royal Rumble entrance.
00:37:44Uh-oh.
00:37:50And I don't like the chances for your master Diviase.
00:38:00Triple H came in this match at number seven.
00:38:02Come here, Kofi.
00:38:03He's been in the match 25 minutes.
00:38:06Jericho fired into that ring post, but
00:38:13through the middle rope.
00:38:14These matches are so dangerous.
00:38:16You never know where you're gonna get hit.
00:38:18From the side, from behind, down low, up high.
00:38:21CM Punk on the outside of Regal.
00:38:23Punk's trying to go.
00:38:24CM Punk eliminated Regal.
00:38:26Regal's gone.
00:38:30William Regal eliminated by CM Punk.
00:38:35Just one more reason for William Regal to despise CM Punk.
00:38:42Well, we know what's up with R-Truth at number 24.
00:38:54Win the Royal Rumble and go main event for a title at WrestleMania.
00:39:00The 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
00:39:06That can make a lot of dreams come true.
00:39:09The accolades, the championships, the cash for winning a title at WrestleMania.
00:39:14He's watching Triple H.
00:39:16The game just kind of biding his time, waiting over in the corner.
00:39:21They're trying to stay under the radar until R-Truth came in.
00:39:24Randy Orton.
00:39:25And then Kane, Kane right in front of us.
00:39:30Orton has Kane almost, Kane's teetering.
00:39:34There's a cooperative effort to eliminate Kane.
00:39:37Three men could not do it.
00:39:40Finley, we're about to see a punk, I think,
00:39:44trying to actually suplex Finley out of the ring onto the floor.
00:39:48Rey Mysterio again.
00:39:50How many more bullets can Rey Finley dodge in this Royal Rumble match?
00:40:00After avoiding the elimination by three men, Kane now began to pick people off.
00:40:09Five, four, three, two, one.
00:40:16Triple H.
00:40:18Triple H.
00:40:19Triple H is a button.
00:40:20Wait a minute.
00:40:21Wait a minute.
00:40:22Wait a minute.
00:40:24It can be.
00:40:26We told you the Royal Rumble was unpredictable.
00:40:30Rob Van Dam and the superstars in shock.
00:40:37The fans on their feet.
00:40:3916,000 plus.
00:40:41The RVD champ reached for the rafters.
00:40:50Rob Van Dam, a surprise imprint in the Royal Rumble is rocking and rolling this rumble.
00:40:59The educated feet.
00:41:03Look at Rob Van Dam go.
00:41:05Watch out, Mike Knox, the monstrous Mike Knox,
00:41:08ground in or trying to ground.
00:41:10RVD, what a roast.
00:41:11What a shot.
00:41:12What a scintillating shot to the temple by Rob Van Dam.
00:41:16What an amazing flexibility.
00:41:18The uncanny use of his feet.
00:41:20Can you imagine Van Dam headlining WrestleMania,
00:41:26the 25th Anniversary King.
00:41:29Rob Van Dam, fresh as a daisy here now.
00:41:32Van Dam in at number 25.
00:41:35That's a great number to draw.
00:41:38All right, Rob Van Dam, this is not too smart.
00:41:41Team, team.
00:41:43One, two, three, four.
00:41:44Number 26.
00:41:48V Bryan Kendrick entering and he won't leave me alone.
00:41:53Looks like I think Ezekiel Jackson will not accompany Kendrick to the ring.
00:41:59Well, ordinarily when you look at these massive superstars that are still left,
00:42:16you wouldn't think V Bryan Kendrick would have a-
00:42:19Kofi Kingston eliminated by Bryan Kendrick.
00:42:25Kendrick just-
00:42:27Whoa, whoa.
00:42:28They're thrown through the rope, but now-
00:42:31And Kendrick can tell his tale of a Royal Rumble match to his associate Ezekiel Jackson.
00:42:38How long did he last?
00:42:3915 seconds?
00:42:40Triple H throwing the Bryan Kendrick out of the ring.
00:42:45The fourth man that the gang has eliminated.
00:42:49The gang north of 30 minutes in this match.
00:42:52Right hand from Triple H on Kane and Van Dam and
00:43:01Pump exchanging right hands.
00:43:03And Rey Mysterio again.
00:43:09And Pump, three sides of the ring, three near eliminations.
00:43:13I don't know how CM Punk avoided hitting that floor that time.
00:43:17Undertaker, taking a lot of abuse from Legacy over here.
00:43:24One, three, two.
00:43:26As we have heard, more men have won this match at number 27 than any other number.
00:43:32Come on down and introduce yourself to the Royal Rumble.
00:43:37Dolph Ziggler, not even bothering to take off his ring jacket.
00:43:44There it is.
00:43:45Yeah.
00:43:46Yeah, we know you're Dolph Ziggler, and that's-
00:43:49How you doing?
00:43:50Kane.
00:43:51I'm Dolph Ziggler.
00:43:52I'm Dolph.
00:43:54Dolph Ziggler, rest chair.
00:43:57And goodbye Dolph.
00:44:00Adieu to Dark.
00:44:04That's quite evening.
00:44:05Quite an introduction.
00:44:06And now Jericho.
00:44:10Well, you see how Kane, you know, when someone just, Kane immediately,
00:44:15one of his legs around that second rope to avoid.
00:44:18Rey about to, Rey again about to be eliminated.
00:44:22Rey Mysterio pushing the 42-minute mark.
00:44:25The second man in the match, Mysterio.
00:44:28Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, DiBiase.
00:44:30Rey, DiBiase, Rey, DiBiase are all over the dark place.
00:44:35All over the place.
00:44:36And now.
00:44:39RVD.
00:44:44Randy Orton focusing on Rob Van Dam.
00:44:50Folks, we are trying our best to keep up with the action.
00:44:55It's far near impossible.
00:44:57Rey Mysterio needs to get back in the ring and try to stay in the center of the ring,
00:45:00away from the ropes.
00:45:01Yeah, stay away from the gong gong turnbuckle.
00:45:04No.
00:45:07The king of the unibrow.
00:45:12No offense, Kane.
00:45:15What?
00:45:16Good lord.
00:45:17It wasn't me.
00:45:18It wasn't me.
00:45:19It wasn't me.
00:45:20It wasn't me.
00:45:21No.
00:45:22The warlord's record may have been broken.
00:45:24Yeah, no redo, Santino.
00:45:32Let's see.
00:45:33Let's see if we can time this in our head.
00:45:351,001.
00:45:36Hey, it didn't even last two seconds.
00:45:38About a second and a half.
00:45:40So does Santino may have gone into the record book, but not in the way he would have liked.
00:45:46Whoa.
00:45:47One, two, three, two.
00:45:49He got two more men to enter.
00:45:54That would be 29 and 30.
00:45:57I got you.
00:45:58It's hard for me to do the math.
00:46:00There's so much action going on in this amazing Royal Rumble.
00:46:04Look out here, Jericho.
00:46:06Undertaker's got Jericho in a precarious position.
00:46:09I'm not sure if Jericho knows it, but I got a feeling he may find out sooner than later.
00:46:14Rob Van Damme making a wish of Van Damme's legs.
00:46:19Speaking of math, JR, see here's Ted DiBiase Jr.
00:46:22Well, he's just past the 30-minute mark of survival here in the Royal Rumble.
00:46:27Well, Randy Orton's been in longer than DiBiase.
00:46:32He's getting there.
00:46:33Look at Triple H.
00:46:34Triple H now.
00:46:35Triple H.
00:46:36Kane has just got the game hanging on by a hand.
00:46:41Look at this.
00:46:45And over to the Denny, the first winner of the first Royal Rumble ever.
00:46:52In 1988, how appropriate, Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
00:46:58What a big right hand.
00:47:01Duggan throwing that big smoked hand.
00:47:06And listen to this USA chant.
00:47:11Duggan going toe-to-toe with the epic taker.
00:47:13Hacksaw revitalized here.
00:47:15Whoa.
00:47:16Can you imagine if Hacksaw Jim Duggan, 21 years later,
00:47:21would win the Royal Rumble match for the second time?
00:47:25That would be something.
00:47:26And anything can happen in the WWE.
00:47:29I think that's been proven time and again here tonight.
00:47:35Hacksaw just hammering away.
00:47:37He's hitting everybody in sight.
00:47:39Rey Mysterio at the 45-minute mark as Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
00:47:47What's the game?
00:47:48What's the game?
00:47:49The game.
00:47:50The game.
00:47:51Well, he was looking to get his leg hooked to the bottom of the inside rope.
00:47:55Well, the inside of the bottom rope.
00:47:57Keeping the score at home.
00:47:59The cheap shot on Finley and Cody Rhodes almost eliminated by Finley.
00:48:09CM Punk has someone dangling over there.
00:48:11I can't see who it is.
00:48:15It's DiBiase.
00:48:16DiBiase.
00:48:18The longer they come, the bigger they get.
00:48:26As interim number 30 is the biggest athlete in the world, The Big Show.
00:48:32Seven feet, 441 pounds, and the last two Rumble winners, King, have come at number 30.
00:48:41The luck of the draw for The Big Show.
00:48:44And the smile on his face tells that story.
00:48:48Remember, it's over the top rope, both feet touching the floor.
00:48:55And the biggest man in the WWE, The Big Show, with those big 18 AAA boots firmly planted on the canvas.
00:49:08Can they be planted on the floor?
00:49:10Look at this.
00:49:11And The Undertaker stepping up like, I'm the man that can get it done.
00:49:14Gosh.
00:49:15He's sending a message to The Big Show.
00:49:18But you know what, JR?
00:49:19Look at this ring.
00:49:20Look at the Royal Rebels.
00:49:21One of these men that's left in this ring right now are gonna be going to the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania in the main event.
00:49:28With the championships.
00:49:31And look at Hacksaw.
00:49:32Look at Dougie.
00:49:34Hey.
00:49:35You throw your back out.
00:49:37Well, Hacksaw was in the right place.
00:49:41I'm not saying his strategy was gonna work.
00:49:43Watch out, Hacksaw!
00:49:45Hacksaw, Jim Duggan, eliminated by the show.
00:49:49Hacksaw, obviously a crowd favorite here.
00:49:55Chris Jericho trying to get a sleeper of some sort on The Big Show.
00:50:00Hacksaw, sentimental favorite, eliminated.
00:50:02That would have been a sentimental story for sure, wouldn't it?
00:50:05Yeah.
00:50:06Look at this.
00:50:07Man, Punk.
00:50:08I thought Punk was certainly gonna be eliminated there.
00:50:11I don't know how he's been able to hang on to that top rope so many times.
00:50:20And that could really go for several men.
00:50:23How many times has Rey Mysterio narrowly escaped elimination?
00:50:28Triple eight several times.
00:50:29And here goes whoop, whoop, whoop.
00:50:31DiBiase.
00:50:32DiBiase.
00:50:33Get out of here for that list.
00:50:34The ever growing list of survivors here in the Royal Rumble.
00:50:38What we just saw from DiBiase, if you can, now look at Randy Orton teetering.
00:50:43You can do what DiBiase did, use your own momentum as you're going over that time rope
00:50:48to swing yourself back in underneath the bottom and middle rope, you can save yourself.
00:50:54That's what DiBiase just did.
00:50:56Randy Orton's been in the match over 38 minutes.
00:50:58Look at Big Show.
00:50:59Oh, Lord.
00:51:00Look at his strength.
00:51:01Big Show eliminates his second man.
00:51:04There's no way to save yourself from that.
00:51:06That's the truth.
00:51:07Tony Rhodes.
00:51:10Tony Rhodes.
00:51:11Boy, he's lucky.
00:51:15He hasn't been in the woods yet enough and he just almost got eliminated there.
00:51:18Look at this.
00:51:19Have you ever seen so many guys able to-
00:51:23That's amazing.
00:51:24And look at CM Punk assaulting the Big Show and the Intercontinental Show.
00:51:30Once again, Punk.
00:51:31Hangs on for dear life in the Royal Rumble.
00:51:36Good move, good thought.
00:51:38The right hand.
00:51:43The knockout right.
00:51:46The unworldly.
00:51:48CM Punk, you just got knocked out of the Royal Rumble.
00:51:53The difference is being pumped out and knocked out.
00:51:56Watch this.
00:51:57Watch this one more time.
00:51:58Boom.
00:51:59Golly.
00:52:01That's a massive fist.
00:52:04Hey, watch Finley over here, the Big Show.
00:52:07Whoa.
00:52:08Rey Mysterio.
00:52:09Mysterio and Nox, I think they're both out.
00:52:12Hey, wait.
00:52:14Hornswoggle.
00:52:15Where'd he come from?
00:52:20Is he in the hole?
00:52:22Uh-oh.
00:52:23Where'd he come into the aid of his community's son?
00:52:26Hornswoggle is a good thing.
00:52:28I don't think he's gonna nod here.
00:52:31Hornswoggle trying to help us get out.
00:52:34Finley.
00:52:35And Finley eliminated.
00:52:36Man, did he hit.
00:52:37The fatigue and the toll of this matchup.
00:52:41Let's watch the way Rey Mysterio and Mike Knox virtually have taken each other out of the Royal Rumble.
00:52:48And then just being told that Rey lasted an impressive 49 minutes.
00:52:54Amazing.
00:52:55Absolutely amazing, considering the punishment and the level of competition.
00:53:00So by my calculations, that makes Triple H now the longest survivor in this match.
00:53:09He came in at number seven.
00:53:12Everyone that preceded the game has now been eliminated.
00:53:16Boom.
00:53:18Code breaker, code breaker by Jericho on Kane.
00:53:22The game at 41 minutes.
00:53:24And the shocking Rob Van Dam returning here tonight to the Royal Rumble match.
00:53:29Van Dam came in at number 25.
00:53:33Van Dam delivering a shot right to the side of the kneecap.
00:53:38The Big Show.
00:53:41One of those body shots by the Big Show.
00:53:44Hey, hey, hey.
00:53:45Triple H.
00:53:46Triple H, Triple H down.
00:53:47Randy Orton almost eliminated.
00:53:48No, wait, wait, wait.
00:53:49This will be worse than being eliminated.
00:53:50No.
00:53:51What a sick, sick DDT.
00:53:58Look at this.
00:54:00And now that we've seen these two battle of Friday Night SmackDown.
00:54:08The Big Show and The Undertaker.
00:54:10The right hand, Undertaker aboard the right.
00:54:12He's gone aboard the right to stay upright.
00:54:15The Undertaker able to block every right hand that The Big Show is throwing,
00:54:19but Undertaker landed.
00:54:21Now Jericho getting a little help from the back side.
00:54:25Unlikely help from this Jericho.
00:54:28No.
00:54:29Rob Van Dam.
00:54:34Whoa!
00:54:35Man down hit the splash and got eliminated by Chris Jericho.
00:54:42Who's proud of his head over.
00:54:43Whoa, don't turn around, you won't like the view.
00:54:45Man.
00:54:47What the heck?
00:54:50Jericho with a big smile on his face from eliminating Rob Van Dam.
00:54:54Whoa!
00:54:57Jericho go.
00:54:59Yeah, look at Jericho go.
00:55:01Go to the showers, Jericho eliminated by The Undertaker.
00:55:07And the body count is getting smaller than is in the ring.
00:55:11Cody Rhodes,
00:55:17Ted DiBiase, Randy Orton, Kane, The Undertaker,
00:55:21The Big Show, and The Game, surviving.
00:55:25But who will headline the 25th, whoa, whoa, whoa, look at this.
00:55:30The Double Team, the Triple Team, and Legacy eliminates Kane.
00:55:36The three Legacy members eliminated Kane.
00:55:40And now we're down to six.
00:55:42And Triple H realizes, and watching that, that it's not every man for himself.
00:55:48I think everyone realizes that, and perhaps that became crystal clear.
00:55:55As we have seen this match progress, and
00:55:57The Big Show assaulting the game, leaving Legacy to surround The Undertaker.
00:56:03Undertaker on the attack, I guess he figures to try to bounce some offense early.
00:56:08But the numbers game taking over here.
00:56:10One of these six men will headline the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
00:56:18And it could just well be the biggest athlete in the world who just chokeslammed the game.
00:56:25And I speculate because how do you put a 441 pounder who doesn't want to go over the top rope to the floor?
00:56:36Here, one, four.
00:56:40Wow.
00:56:40Legacy trying to triple team, The Undertaker.
00:56:42Look at this.
00:56:43Look at this.
00:56:45Triple, Triple H has been in his match over 45 minutes.
00:56:50Well, it's The Undertaker that's got things squarely in hand right now.
00:56:54Yeah, he's got Cody Rhodes in hand, or by the throat.
00:57:01Or by the throat, and now we're back to this again.
00:57:06The Undertaker and the Big Show.
00:57:08Stratts are down.
00:57:13Big time.
00:57:18Watch those rights.
00:57:19Undertaker striking is just to do this offense by the Undertaker.
00:57:24And now the Big Show after having those big right hands aimed at the Undertaker's
00:57:28head blocked earlier, goes for the body blows.
00:57:31These shots can be debilitating.
00:57:34Watch out.
00:57:34What a slumber off of a clothesline.
00:57:40That's a 6'9", 300 pounder, taking down the world's largest athlete, Impact.
00:57:46But already, the Big Show back on his feet.
00:57:49That will do, my God, I don't believe what I've seen.
00:57:54Did you see that athleticism?
00:57:56The Big Show taking a page out of CM Punk, Rey Mysterio.
00:57:59Everybody's booked here tonight.
00:58:01Yeah, but the Big Show is a super heavyweight.
00:58:03He's super strong.
00:58:07Randy Orton looking for the RKO.
00:58:12But the Undertaker just says no.
00:58:14And now the Big Show with a massive hand on the demon of Death Valley.
00:58:21Both men and no man's land.
00:58:23And a battle of wills.
00:58:27I got a feeling somebody's gonna go here.
00:58:29What a shot, and a right hand, a clear right, RKO.
00:58:35Orton eliminates the Big Show with the RKO.
00:58:39And just stuck with a right hand from The Undertaker, who's fought his way right back into the world.
00:58:44Oh, the Big Show, eliminated The Undertaker.
00:58:50The Undertaker, eliminated by The Big Show.
00:58:55Be it fair or not, The Undertaker's eliminated.
00:58:58There are four men left, the three legacy members in the game.
00:59:02The Undertaker is not gonna take being eliminated for the Royal Rumble lightly.
00:59:07Look at the look on Orton's face.
00:59:11Is there any way the game can survive what is essentially a three-on-one situation?
00:59:18Will Legacies stay on the same page?
00:59:24Or with a lure of being a wrestler.
00:59:27Look at Triple H, it's got him.
00:59:28And look at the game.
00:59:30Triple H has got to fight with every fiber of his being to survive this onslaught.
00:59:38Get him, kick him, kick him.
00:59:40Orton's shouting directions, directing traffic, calling the signals.
00:59:45Orton holding Triple H, Rob DiBiase, and Cody Rhodes do the damage.
00:59:51Now Orton turns loose.
00:59:52The heart, the body, clean shots.
00:59:56The grief.
00:59:57Boom.
00:59:59Again and again to the head of the game.
01:00:02Pick him up.
01:00:05Pick him up.
01:00:09Shouting instructions to Rhodes and DiBiase.
01:00:16And Rhodes and DiBiase being subservient.
01:00:20Doing, come on, slapping up.
01:00:26I'm in heaven show, heaven show.
01:00:32Come on.
01:00:33No.
01:00:34Orton did too much talking.
01:00:38The game countered the RKO.
01:00:41You all right?
01:00:42You all right?
01:00:43DiBiase checking on Orton, but the game with a face buster of Cody Rhodes.
01:00:49A double A spine buster simulating to Ted DiBiase.
01:00:54And the game has wound his way back into it.
01:00:56The game has fought his way back into the fight.
01:00:59He's about to deliver a pedigree, but now- There goes Orton!
01:01:02Orton's gone, no, no, Orton's not gone.
01:01:07The pedigree, the pedigree to Rhodes.
01:01:10DiBiase is gone, we're down to three, we're down to three.
01:01:15And there goes Rhodes, but he's gone.
01:01:17Tony Rhodes is gone, Tony Rhodes is gone, Tony Rhodes is gone.
01:01:20Oh, he did it.
01:01:23Randy Orton, Randy Orton from behind, just as the game had eliminated Cody Rhodes.
01:01:38Orton struck.
01:01:39The game eliminated two thirds of legacy, while Randy Orton took advantage of opportunity.
01:01:48To win the 2009 Royal Rumble.
01:01:54And you know what this means?
01:01:56Well, it means that that man, Randy Orton,
01:02:01has a one-way ticket to the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
01:02:06But he didn't do it alone.
01:02:07There's his health.
01:02:09I taste blood that's dry in
01:02:11I feel tensions rising
01:02:15I have voices in my head
