00:03Just Monday, May 19th, on pay-per-view in Nashville, Tennessee.
00:08And the Intercontinental title will kick us off tonight.
00:12The development contest is suited for one goal.
00:26And it is for the World Wrestling Federation of the Intercontinental Championship.
00:30Introducing the challenger from Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in the 218-pound, Jeff Hardy.
00:38See that diamond flag there? People like to party hardy!
00:42And nobody parties hardy like Jeff Hardy! Check him out!
00:45Jeff Hardy climbs solo tonight, his brother Matt, who came back too soon is recovering himself from facing Brock Lesnar last week on the wall.
00:53He is the leader tonight as she prepares for major neck surgery tomorrow morning.
00:58And making his way to the race of El Paso, Texas.
01:01Playing in the next 228 pounds, he is the Intercontinental Champion, Eddie Guerrero!
01:08He's entered on the set of the taping of Dark Angel.
01:13Lila has surgery tomorrow, she broke her neck in three places.
01:16She'll have surgery tomorrow, Matt Hardy is with her tonight.
01:19And Eddie Guerrero is here, set to defend his Intercontinental title that he won from RBD King at Backlash.
01:27Certainly, everybody here at Raw wants to sit there and well wishes out to Lita.
01:31And you know, you know, that's gotta be playing on the mind of that young man, Jeff Hardy, here tonight.
01:36He's just thinking about the relationship that the Hardys have with Lita, that she's gonna have that,
01:40and that's some serious surgery she's gonna have to do.
01:42He was gonna be out about nine months from that surgery from who we understand.
01:46And we are expecting a night after what happened last week when the Big Show team with Stone Cold,
01:52the Big Show joining the NWO last week, assaulting and destroying the Texas Rattlesnake.
01:58He's not here yet, the Rattlesnake's not here yet, is he?
02:00Austin's schedule to be here at any moment, and I can guarantee you Stone Cold Steve Austin is not gonna be in a friendly mood here tonight.
02:08You gotta be kidding me.
02:12You'll be in the foulest of moods.
02:14I can't wait to see what the Rattles will do.
02:16One, two, three, four.
02:18Kicking it off tonight for the Intercontinental title.
02:22A takedown by the champion, Eddie Guerrero.
02:26A hard-track takeover by Jeff Hardy, challenging for the Intercontinental title here.
02:30And you gotta believe that Jeff Hardy, you hope anyway, for Jeff's sake,
02:34that he's got the additional motivation knowing that Matt and Lita are looking on tonight.
02:41And again, as you said, Gabe, we wish Lita nothing but the very best on her serious surgery
02:46that is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
02:50We're hammering away in Jeff Hardy, two high fires here.
02:54Jeff Hardy is gonna have to get his mind focused on this match
02:57because Latino Heat has one thing in mind, and that's hanging on to that title.
03:01Big night tonight here on Rattlesnake.
03:03Stone Cold is expected to be here.
03:05Hollywood Huck Hogan in the house.
03:07There's a cover by Jeff Hardy who's got a near fall.
03:10Hollywood Huck Hogan and William Regal one-on-one here tonight.
03:14I had the pleasure of speaking to William Regal earlier, and he said that-
03:17Oh, look at this!
03:18He plans to be smirched!
03:20Hollywood Huck Hogan right here in front of the world tonight.
03:23Hollywood Huck Hogan right here in front of the world tonight.
03:24Hollywood Huck Hogan!
03:26Or at least that's what Regal says he's going to do.
03:29In any event, Eddie Guerrero taken outside by Jeff Hardy in this matchup for the Intercontinental title.
03:35Regal, the owner of Raw in the house, and Regal still reeling, if you will, from the bad call that he made at Backlash involving Stone Cold and the Undertaker in the number one contenders match.
03:50Bad call.
03:51They are.
03:52Bad call.
03:53That's so putting it mildly.
03:54I mean, Flair continues to make mistake after mistake.
03:56What's up with this guy?
03:57Oh!
03:58Wow!
03:59Whoa!
04:00Hey, wait a minute!
04:01He knocked his head off!
04:02You gotta get the man out!
04:03You gotta get the man out!
04:04Look at the first situation is that he's human.
04:07He can make a mistake.
04:09Well, I'll give him-
04:11Oh!
04:12I'll give him once as a mistake, brother.
04:14You know, more than that.
04:15It just looks a little funny to me, JR.
04:17Knocked down by Eddie Guerrero, the Intercontinental Champion.
04:21Certainly one of the most talented in-ring performers that we can remember here in the World Wrestling Federation.
04:28Not to mention the fact that he's Latino Heat!
04:30Indeed he is.
04:31Eddie Guerrero with a suplex taking down Jeff Hardy.
04:36Eddie Guerrero with a hardball, surely not for the last controversial victory over RBD at Backlash.
04:45Oh, here we got Guerrero!
04:47Looking where Jeff Hardy didn't find him that time.
04:49And Hardy with a double-leg take down on Eddie Guerrero.
04:52Oh, man!
04:54They've got him!
04:55Any combination and another near-fall, Jeff Hardy.
04:59Got knocked down again by the Intercontinental Champion, Eddie Guerrero,
05:04beating Jeff Hardy into his vertical base, if you will.
05:08Well, you're right about one thing.
05:10Jeff Hardy would love-
05:11He would love to be able to go back to Matt and Lena and say,
05:14with what I won for you guys last night.
05:17With that man right there, Latino Heat!
05:19What's wrong with these people?
05:22I appreciate the talent of Eddie Guerrero.
05:25Eddie Guerrero's got talent, but I think it is-
05:27He proved to the world he's got the best frog splash.
05:29We may even see it, but we may not.
05:31Hard shot by Jeff Hardy, the right-hand Eddie Guerrero in a precarious position.
05:36A risk taker himself, much like the Hardys, is Eddie Guerrero.
05:40And Guerrero getting hooked up now.
05:42Oh, my gosh.
05:43Up on the top turnbuckle.
05:44Oh, no!
05:45Look at him!
05:46Superplex by Jeff Hardy.
05:48He can do it.
05:49Hardy making his own liver quiver from that superplex.
05:53Yes!
05:54Guerrero trying to create some offense here.
05:58Misses with the right-hand going downstairs is Jeff Hardy.
06:02Oh!
06:03The jawbreaker on Eddie Guerrero.
06:06And that will certainly silence at least for the time being.
06:09Latino Heat will loosen the molars as well.
06:16Jeff Hardy going airborne and connecting with Eddie Guerrero.
06:19And Jeff Hardy with the multicolored hair.
06:22With part of the WF contingent that will be a part of the Insurrection Tour all this week.
06:30In Germany on Wednesday.
06:31Scotland on Thursday.
06:33Birmingham, England on Friday night.
06:35And, of course, culminating on Skybox on Saturday night.
06:40With Insurrection in London.
06:43And Jeff Hardy fighting back on Eddie Guerrero.
06:46This match for the Intercontinental title.
06:49Okay.
06:50Oh!
06:51Anybody in Glasgow, Scotland, where's their hair like Jeff Hardy?
06:54Well, that's a good question.
06:56Aye, laddie.
06:57Aye, laddie.
06:58Uh-oh.
06:59Wait a minute.
07:01Jeff Hardy going to take a chance here.
07:04High stakes on the line.
07:05The Intercontinental title of State is going to roll it quickly.
07:09And Jeff Hardy straddling the turnbuckle there.
07:12That can't feel good unless you're wearing a couple of cups.
07:17A couple of cups.
07:20And I'll never know the answer to that one.
07:24I'm not checking the line.
07:25Oh, look out!
07:26Man!
07:27Oh, man!
07:28Oh, look at Eddie Guerrero.
07:29Great athleticism.
07:30Guerrero landing.
07:31And Jeff Hardy looking to the swan top.
07:32And the slide all over the place.
07:34Watch it!
07:35Oh!
07:36Jeff Hardy hits the big moment.
07:38Referee Charles Rogerson is down as well as the Intercontinental Champion.
07:43There's a cover by Jeff.
07:45Come on, ref!
07:46But the referee in no position.
07:47It's a count.
07:48You hate to see that happen as Robinson holding his left knee.
07:54I think the referee's leg buckled up.
07:58Oh, wow.
07:59Guerrero now trying to seize the moment.
08:04And the Intercontinental Champion.
08:05Oh, there ain't a minute now.
08:06Latino Heat!
08:07Oh, look out!
08:08Watch it!
08:09Eddie Guerrero grabbing his Intercontinental title belt.
08:10Hey!
08:11Get off!
08:12Eddie Guerrero grabbing his Intercontinental title belt.
08:13Hey!
08:14Get off!
08:15Eddie Guerrero grabbing his Intercontinental title belt.
08:16Hey!
08:17Get off!
08:18Eddie Guerrero ramming that belt right into the face of Jeff Hardy, who attended the crossbody
08:23over the top.
08:24And Jeff Hardy's face and skull met the Intercontinental title belt in a very aggressive way.
08:29Get out of the way, referee!
08:30Do you want to get to see him?
08:31Oh, he's killed!
08:32Oh, he's killed!
08:33Oh, he's killed!
08:34Oh, he's killed!
08:35Oh, he's killed!
08:36Oh, he's killed!
08:37Oh, he's killed!
08:38Oh, he's killed!
08:39Oh, he's killed!
08:40And Latino Heat!
08:41Yes!
08:42There it is!
08:43Yes!
08:44There it is!
08:45With a five-star frog strike.
08:46Eddie Guerrero's version.
08:47And he gets to three count.
08:48Eat your heart out, OBD!
08:49There's a frog strike for you!
08:50Here's your winner, and still the Intercontinental Champion, Eddie Guerrero!
08:55Eddie Guerrero!
08:56Latino Heat is alive and well!
08:59Eddie Guerrero with a victory here.
09:01The Intercontinental Champion retaining the gold.
09:04And certainly RVD got to be looking on in anticipation of the opportunity somewhere down the road.
09:12But RVD and Eddie Guerrero have a rematch.
09:15Check this out.
09:16Eddie Guerrero had already grabbed the whole championship belt and he introduced it to the face of Jeff Hardy.
