00:00Hey, I'll tell you one thing.
00:03He might be right, JR.
00:04He may be, I don't know.
00:06But we're gonna find out within the hour as we prepare for
00:10a six man elimination tag team matchup.
00:15The following six man elimination tag team match is scheduled for one fall.
00:20Introducing first from Northern, North Carolina, weighing in at 218 pounds.
00:25He beat WWE European champion, Jeff Hardy.
00:30Jeff Hardy won the European title one week to go tonight against William Regal.
00:35And as we take you back, King, to the last week here on Raw,
00:39with Jeff Hardy, who has survived The Undertaker in that ladder match.
00:44Just a week before, with a swan top bomb, became the champion before William Regal take it hard.
00:51Well, of course he took it hard.
00:53I mean, he lost his beloved European championship.
00:57William Regal, I have to ask you, how do you feel right now?
01:00Just moments, just moments after losing your European title.
01:15Okay, we don't need to watch that.
01:16That's embarrassing.
01:17A grown man crying.
01:18Now that was a, that was a moment of, of grief.
01:22And making our way to the ring, Bubba Ray Dudley and Spike Dudley.
01:33Making a misfortune, look at these two.
01:37Well, ladies and gentlemen, as we said it is, it feels like a momentous nod here with a new
01:42general manager about to be named within the hour.
01:44But earlier today, we found out that the Dudley, Spike, and Bubba Ray,
01:49will join forces against Eddie Guerrero and Tristan Law,
01:52for this Sunday's Vigeants, on pay-per-view, in eighth ladder match.
01:57Oh, a table match, isn't it?
01:58Our table man, throw it!
02:00Those four Dudleys, I guarantee you, Spike and Bubba will be crying after that match.
02:08From Black Bowl England, weighing in at 240 pounds, William Regal.
02:13Again, this is a six-man elimination tag team matchup.
02:16The match continues until one team has been completely eliminated.
02:20Once an athlete loses by any fashion, he must return to his locker room.
02:25And the match will continue until one team has been eliminated in his total.
02:32Yeah, you can see, William Regal's not crying now.
02:34And they now win the game, Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit.
02:39Come on!
02:40Well, Benoit Guerrero in that table match this Sunday, at Vengeance in Detroit's Joe
02:44Lewis Sabina, beating Bubba Ray and Spike Dudley, the half-brothers.
02:51What's half?
02:51I don't know if they have the same daddy.
02:54I don't understand, but in any event, here we go.
02:56And see, Earl Hepper's gonna have his hands full here.
02:58Yeah, go, get it on!
03:00At least six guys, and there's a lot of bad bread that has been brewing, and it's red hot here.
03:06Look at the heat, look at the heat!
03:08Look out!
03:09High-back body drop, Eddie Guerrero, back drop by the run of the litter, Spike Dudley.
03:13All 150 pounds of it, inverted atomic drop by Spike.
03:17Again, well, there's the first cover of the matchup and a kick out by Eddie Guerrero.
03:23There's something!
03:24There you go!
03:25And this crowd is buzzing, as are we, the WWE superstars are wondering, come on!
03:30What a beautiful neckbreaker, who their new boss is gonna be.
03:32We'll find that out within this hour.
03:35Watch it, watch it!
03:37You heard what Ric Flair said, and he may be exactly right!
03:40No!
03:41Oh, no, what a!
03:43High spear going downstairs by Spike, but there's a roll-up, and Guerrero rolls right through.
03:47Guerrero's so resilient, and there's an inside prank by Guerrero, and Eddie Guerrero has illuminated Spike Dudley.
03:54Oh my, Spike!
03:55So Guerrero, Guerrero, Dinwan, Regal, and a three-on-one, and it's a bubble bomb by Bubba Ray Dudley.
04:02Should be over, and it would have been over, you gotta believe, if William Regal had not interrupted the catch.
04:09So it's Bubba Ray Dudley and Jeff Hardy, and first time I've ever remembered that the Hardys,
04:14a Hardy and a Dudley have teamed, and look at Benoit, that rabid Wolverine.
04:19Yeah, did he rabid Wolverine, and the- Oh, no!
04:22Oh, no!
04:23What a shoulder tackle by Bubba Ray Dudley taking down Chris Benoit.
04:27And Bubba Dudley's well over that 300-pound mark, using that massive power advantage on Chris Benoit.
04:35Benoit's been back about three weeks since that neck surgery that kept him on the shelf for almost one year,
04:42and he has not lost a step from where I'm sitting.
04:44You may have to have chest surgery if Bubba Ray keeps those shots up.
04:47Look out!
04:48Bubba Ray Dudley, the biggest man in this match, using that power and size advantage.
04:53See, size does matter, the run of the litter's already gone, he's eliminated.
04:56Cheap shot by Regal who paid for it, the pinball then takes down Bubba Ray Dudley.
05:01What match are you watching, JR?
05:02That was a cheap shot by Bubba Ray Dudley.
05:06On William Regal.
05:07I'm still thinking about who our new boss is gonna be.
05:12Well, judging by what Ric Flair said, it is a thankless job.
05:14He couldn't figure that anybody could do it that didn't have the last name of McMahon.
05:18And did he say there's gonna be a, uh-oh, here we go.
05:21Look at him.
05:22Did Vince say there's gonna be a new GM for both Raw and SmackDown?
05:26That's what he said.
05:27I know two other McMahans.
05:29What do you think?
05:30I don't know, it could be.
05:31I mean, who's qualified, who's not qualified?
05:34I didn't even know what I said earlier.
05:36I didn't know Mr. McMahon was even looking for general managers for Raw and for SmackDown.
05:41That is the case.
05:42Mr. McMahon is right.
05:43Change is good.
05:44I mean, this is gonna shake things up.
05:47This is gonna be great.
05:48Well, it's already shaking things up, quite frankly.
05:50It's gonna be a new era, JR.
05:52Bubba Dudley showing up Regal and bouncing him around.
05:55And the clip blop and climb by Bubba Dudley.
05:59Shot to the elbow.
06:01And another- No!
06:02Meanwhile, I was aiming for Bubba Ray, but missed.
06:05And got his teammate Regal and what a suplex.
06:07Right on that neck of Chris Benoit by Bubba Dudley.
06:11My God, what a hit cost.
06:13Over the top rope to the floor of Eddie Guerrero.
06:17And Bubba Dudley tying in to Jeff Hardy, the Hardys and Dudleys.
06:21Believe it or not, on the same team here.
06:23Look at him!
06:25Jeff Hardy was in significant hang time.
06:28Ooh!
06:29I think Regal's still the legal man, Regal and Bubba, I think.
06:33Oh, there you go!
06:34Regal taking down Jeff Hardy by his multi-colored hair.
06:37Look at that!
06:37Oh, my God!
06:38Look at that belly to back suplex by it.
06:41But Chris Benoit getting underneath Bubba Dudley.
06:43And another great suplex by Eddie Guerrero.
06:45Latino, he strikes again!
06:47And Eddie Guerrero's quicker than a hiccup, suddenly with that suplex.
06:50And the way, and the way!
06:52Ooh, there you go!
06:53And now, the rabid Wolverine living up to his name.
06:57What's up with Jeff Hardy?
06:58Did he spill his pink lemonade all over his shirt today?
07:01Ooh!
07:03In his hair?
07:03Ooh!
07:05Shot!
07:06He's an individual, there's no doubt about it.
07:08He's a different young man.
07:10Yeah, he's different.
07:11You don't think people in Europe are proud of Jeff Hardy as their champion.
07:14I don't know why they wouldn't be proud of Jeff Hardy.
07:17They loved him at Luxembourg.
07:18Well, that's your story.
07:20Look at Eddie Guerrero, what a person, Eddie Guerrero.
07:22Latino games, they are!
07:23This rabid is Eddie Guerrero.
07:25That's true now.
07:27And when Guerrero gets in that ring, the pace quickens in a hurry.
07:32I love this guy.
07:33Now, he's something special.
07:34Why don't you talk about him like you do Jeff Hardy?
07:36He is an amazing, extraordinary athlete as Eddie Guerrero.
07:39He's a second generation star, former Intercontinental Champion,
07:42former European Champion.
07:44He's as mechanically sound as anybody in the WWE, bar none.
07:49Ooh!
07:49Another beautiful sequence by Guerrero, quickly going for the cover to be in for
07:53Jeff Hardy.
07:54And Jeff Hardy kicks out the near fall.
07:56And look at the teamwork now.
07:57Guerrero, Regal, and Benoit working like a well-oiled machine here in this
08:02elimination tag team matchup.
08:04Looks like they want to go ahead and eliminate Jeff Hardy and leave it down
08:06to poor Grover Ray.
08:07Oh!
08:08That's cross body.
08:10A cross body by Jeff Hardy.
08:11Got a near fall.
08:12Regal kicks out quickly.
08:13And back up to a vertical base.
08:15Regal got that left forearm in.
08:16There you go.
08:18Very unorthodox style.
08:20Remember, William?
08:21He's the one that stole your European title.
08:23What?
08:23The tag made.
08:24Regal has not forgotten that.
08:26He cried like a baby last week when he lost the championship.
08:28Don't keep bringing that up, JR.
08:31Very emotional moment.
08:32He's supposed to keep a
08:34vertical stiff up their lip, but that was not the case.
08:36As Benoit gets dropped to Jeff Hardy right back on Hardy's head from the suplex.
08:40Have you not ever lost anything you love, JR?
08:42Of course.
08:43Oh, look at Jeff Hardy coming in here.
08:45He's got a lateral pressing up.
08:47I bet you blubbered like a baby.
08:50Jeff Hardy being isolated here far from his corner.
08:53Kip cannot tag Bubba Dudley.
08:55Good strategy by the adversaries here at Benoit Guerrero and Regal.
08:59Did you see Latino Heat?
09:00He just walked on the face of Jeff Hardy.
09:02That was great.
09:04Mike Dudley has been eliminated.
09:06Jeff Hardy and Bubba Dudley down a man.
09:09They're a man short here in the six man elimination tag team matchup that continues
09:14until one team has been completely eliminated.
09:16Will you count the run in the litter as like a four-sized man?
09:20Now listen to these people now.
09:22You can tell we're in New Jersey.
09:24Jeff Hardy proved his toughness to be against The Undertaker in that ladder match.
09:28There's a cover by Regal.
09:29And Jeff Hardy keeps proving it again and again, day after day.
09:33Here you go.
09:35Underhooks and flexing it.
09:38And Bubba Dudley in to make sure the three count doesn't go down.
09:41Bubba, just like Jeff, doesn't want to be isolated here in a three-order play fight.
09:45You gotta watch that Jeff Hardy at all times, William.
09:49Hardy with a dropkick perhaps out of desperation.
09:52In any event, Jeff Hardy certainly would be well served now to make the tag.
09:56Oh, look at Eddie Guerrero.
09:58Here's a dropkick for you.
09:59Right to the temple.
10:00That is a knockout shot.
10:02That'll scramble your brains.
10:04There's just no doubt about it.
10:05I think you gotta have a brain to scramble first.
10:08And you can tell by the way he's dressed, there's not much of a...
10:10Oh, there!
10:10Yeah, there you go.
10:11Turn about spare play.
10:13That was a cheap shot by Regal on Bubba Dudley.
10:16That was retaliation.
10:17Jeff Hardy fighting back with everything he's got here.
10:19And again, Eddie Guerrero comes in.
10:21Get out, get out, get out.
10:21Just as Jeff Hardy was about to build some momentum.
10:24Hey, hey, look at...
10:26What is Vin'Raw doing?
10:27Get out, get out, get out.
10:29And while sending the European Championship belt in the ring.
10:33Oh, boy.
10:34And the referee...
10:34Look out, wait a minute.
10:36And Bubba, oh, Bubba, on-arm Regal.
10:38And Bubba, oh, good, good, you got caught, you got busted.
10:46Bubba Dudley got best in my life.
10:48He's been disqualified.
10:49Yeah.
10:50Bubba Ray Dudley's been disqualified.
10:52That's gonna be Jeff Hardy here by himself.
10:54And Jeff Hardy, the legal man, the Swanton.
10:57Wait, on Regal.
10:58No.
10:59The hook of the legs.
11:00And Jeff Hardy wins it.
11:02But Jeff Hardy is left all alone with Benoit Guerrero.
11:07Can Jeff Hardy survive?
11:09We'll find out when we come back next.
11:14We're back live here on Raw, the Continental Airlines Arena six-man tag team matchup.
11:18The elimination tag in progress.
11:20Jeff Hardy has left his partners Bubba and Spike Deadly have both been eliminated.
11:26And has left Jeff Hardy with Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero.
11:30So it's a two-on-one situation.
11:32Yeah, it's not really an elimination match any longer.
11:35It's like a handicap match now.
11:36And you know what?
11:37Why don't you go ahead and tell me that all throughout the commercial break,
11:41Jeff Hardy has been taking an unmerciful pounding.
11:43I think that Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit
11:49realized that they just need to wait until everybody can see them beat this guy.
11:53You're gonna finish him off.
11:54Whoa, wait a minute.
11:55We found out earlier today that Benoit Guerrero will join the big lineup at Vengeance this
12:00Sunday on pay-per-view.
12:01Look at the cover.
12:02Look at that.
12:03What a move.
12:04Nowhere.
12:05Jeff Hardy just eliminated Eddie Guerrero.
12:08Hey, ref, get him out of there.
12:10How did that happen?
12:11Get Guerrero out of there.
12:12That's looking down to one-on-one now.
12:14Jeff Hardy and Chris Benoit.
12:17Get him out of there, Earl.
12:18Get Guerrero out of the ring or disqualify Benoit.
12:22Look at Latino Heat, he's ignoring the rules.
12:25I mean, come on.
12:26Uh-oh, wait a minute, wait.
12:27That's one way to get Guerrero's getting out of the damn ring.
12:32Calm down, JR.
12:34What a German suplex by Chris Benoit, by Chris Benoit.
12:39I'll tell you what, it's gonna take a hell of an effort by Chris Benoit to eliminate Jeff Hardy
12:44after everything we have seen Jeff Hardy go through in the last several weeks,
12:49including surviving that ladder match with The Undertaker.
12:52There's a lot of press and a near fall.
12:54You're right, there's a miracle there's anything at all left in Jeff Hardy's tank,
12:57but it's about to run dry.
12:59And that ladder match, let's never ever forget that Jeff Hardy came within a heartbeat.
13:04He was touching the Undisputed Gold Championship title belt that was hanging high above the ring.
13:10He was a heartbeat away from becoming the Undisputed Champion.
13:14I still can't believe that The Undertaker showed Jeff Hardy the email.
13:16And he did.
13:17Pushed for Goyle.
13:18High risk.
13:22I mean, after that match, The Undertaker, he actually raised Jeff Hardy's hand.
13:25I guarantee you, Benoit won't do that.
13:27Look at Guerrero.
13:28Guerrero's coming back in the locker room.
13:30He's got some, he might have, damn it.
13:32Get him out of here.
13:33I'd have forgotten something.
13:34How many security here?
13:35Is there another referee in the building?
13:37Why don't you go do it, D.R.?
13:38All right, I'm gonna go shove him out.
13:40What the hell is Regal?
13:41Hey, Regal just nuts.
13:44What are you doing in there?
13:45I don't know.
13:46This is a, I thought Regal had gone back to the locker room.
13:49Regal is laying low, apparently, on the outside of the ring.
13:54And referee Earl Hedner detained with Eddie Guerrero.
13:59And Jeff Hardy just got his lights dimmed with Regal's brass knucks.
14:04Now, are you sure you saw brass knucks?
14:05I did. I'm damn sure I'm positive I saw.
14:07I'm sure you'll have the replay.
14:12We won't need it.
14:13And now, Benoit, Benoit to pick the cross base of Jeff Hardy.
14:18Jeff Hardy, he gets knocked down with the brass knucks.
14:21And now this, this is like going to the electric chair.
14:26He's done.
14:27He's knocked out.
14:28It's over, Regal.
14:31I can't believe the way that Benoit,
14:33Barrero and Regal have won this match.
14:37Here is your winner, Chris Benoit.
14:41I mean, Jeff Hardy gave us, as we always see, everything he's got.
14:45Hey, wait a minute.
14:46Yeah, they're getting ready for that big table match.
14:48A table match at vengeance.
14:50Pharrell and Benoit versus the Dudleys.
14:53Spike and Bubba Ray.
14:55And what is this all about?
14:56Jeff Hardy, he's down and out, King.
14:58And you even gotta admit, he can't even defend himself here.
15:01You don't like this, do you, JR?
15:02I don't like it a damn good spot.
15:03You know what this proves?
15:04This proves we need a new general manager.
15:07Well, we're gonna get a new general manager sometime in this hour.
15:10But be that as it may, Jeff Hardy may not be conscious to see who's hired.
15:15We need a general manager that, how did Mr. McMahon say, it's gonna be firm but fair.
15:19That's what we need.
15:20One back down for McCursley.
15:22Hey, wait a minute.
15:23Speaking of McCursley, here comes Bubba Spike and Bill Law and
15:27Guerrero are running out of the ring like scalded dogs.
15:30What are they doing out here?
15:31They've been eliminated.
15:32They don't have a right to be out here.
15:33Guerrero's been eliminated, so has Regal.
15:35Yeah, but those guys want the back.
15:37They're the winners.
15:40Now you're making up the rules as you go along.
15:42Jeff Hardy, what an effort by Jeff Hardy, was left in a one-on-two environment.
