00:00Well, nobody should know better than Ric Flair, shouldn't they?
00:0416th time world champion. Hold your ears.
00:08Oh, what a faint of it.
00:09Oh, B.
00:10I told you.
00:16The first intersputed champion, Chris Jericho, wants to go to unforgiveness and compete in the faint of it.
00:24The following is a fatal four-way elimination match to determine the number one champion for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:34Introducing first, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, weighing in at 227 pounds, Chris Jericho.
00:42Well, Jericho certainly might have heard plain earlier tonight that he has never been a fan of the game,
00:49but he is a fan of what the game possesses, and that's the heavyweight championship of the world.
00:55This match, a fatal four-way elimination match.
00:58When a competitor is eliminated, pinball is qualification, ten out, or submission, they must return to locker room.
01:05The match will continue until there is only one man remaining.
01:11All right, it's going to be a hot match, all right?
01:12It's going to have to go something to beat that hot match in action that we saw earlier.
01:16Oh!
01:19From Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in at 218 pounds, Jeff Hardy!
01:27Well, as Jeff Hardy said, he came with an eyelash of becoming the champion just a few weeks ago
01:33in that awesome ladder match with the Undertaker.
01:36Jeff Hardy is a daredevil, but he's done it 100% after the treatment,
01:41the same treatment those two ladies got earlier, in the hands of Jamal and Rosie here last week.
01:47Give me those lesbians.
01:50Ladies.
01:52Well, I thought that Jeff Hardy showed a lot of disrespect to Eric Bishop earlier.
01:57See, that is me.
01:58Castrol GTX High Mileage presents WWE Unforgiven!
02:03Coming to you live in just 13 days from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California,
02:08and exclusively on pay-per-view.
02:12Two of the four have been introduced.
02:15Who will be the number one contender?
02:17Will!
02:19Will!
02:19Will!
02:20Will!
02:23How many may be on this man?
02:24We're getting in 500 pounds, the Big Show!
02:29Well, the Big Show, it was a huge giant.
02:32I don't know if we, that's a hint, obviously, earlier tonight,
02:36there may be some of the fault with Jericho and the Big Show.
02:39I don't know exactly what it is, but they're making some collusion here
02:43between the biggest man in the history of sports entertainment
02:47and if we have the biggest ego in sports entertainment.
02:50All right, I wouldn't suggest that that would keep up the Big Show,
02:54or you might get the same thing that's now.
02:56That's how old he got back there.
02:58He might get choked down.
02:59There he is!
03:04There!
03:07And the battle is increasing next.
03:09Weighing in at 235-pound,
03:12he is the WWE Intercontinental Champion,
03:16Rob Van Dam!
03:19Well, Rob Van Dam with a thunderous ovation here at Iowa State University.
03:25Van Dam, a man that, as we saw earlier tonight,
03:27has delivered a five-star cross-flash on the game here last week
03:32in that tag team matchup and hit the game for the victory in the tag.
03:38Well, you got Chris Jericho, who, he hates Triple H,
03:42and I think they're leading his people.
03:43Jeff Hardy is dying to become the undisputed,
03:47but the World Heavyweight Champion.
03:49Here we go, you're right.
03:50And he may be doing that literally if he's not careful.
03:53He should be in there if he's not 100%.
03:55Well, he's getting an opportunity here.
03:57He wouldn't turn it down for anything in the world.
03:59Always known as a tag team wrestler.
04:01He's got a chance to shine here on his own.
04:03And the Big Show, now sending RVD for the ride,
04:06and Jeff Hardy took the Jericho to the outside.
04:09All four men will be in the ring at the same time.
04:11Look at RVD.
04:14Oh, there's a little teamwork here.
04:16Hey!
04:16Jeff Hardy and Van Damme.
04:18Oh, that's high.
04:197'2", about a 100-pound Big Show.
04:22He is a huge man and what awesome strength.
04:25And look at Big Show.
04:25Good grief.
04:26He's manhandling now.
04:27The Intercom in the championship.
04:29It's going with Rob Van Damme like a sucker flower.
04:32I told you my money's on the Big Show.
04:34Oh, hey.
04:35You're right.
04:36There is a little teamwork going on here.
04:39One of the biggest amateur heavyweights of all time in the league.
04:41Chris Taylor wrestled right here in this arena.
04:44He was a freak of nature at his time.
04:46But he's not as big as the Big Show.
04:48That's 7'2", 500 pounds.
04:51And now look at this.
04:52A rocket launcher.
04:54Whoa!
04:55Oh, yes!
04:56There's nobody there.
04:57There is some teamwork.
04:58You've got to believe, team.
04:59It looks to me like some teamwork.
05:01There's a float with Big Show and RVD with the Y2J.
05:07Easy for you to say.
05:08Well, now they are.
05:10Well, this is so important.
05:11What?
05:12It's so important for all four men.
05:13A little drop kick off the top.
05:15It's into the base.
05:16It took two shots.
05:17But these two men, finally the 5-hours never been.
05:20I think he just had to recover from that hot left in action.
05:22Hey, look at this teamwork.
05:23Every man front and south.
05:24There's a cover.
05:26The cover by Jeff Hardy.
05:27The Big Show to power out.
05:30Big Show powering out.
05:32When you're eliminated, you leave.
05:35And the match, here we go, Jeff Hardy.
05:36Jeff Hardy going to get it all.
05:38Oh, come on.
05:40That could do it here.
05:42Did he drive enough of the air on the 500-pounder?
05:44Look at the cover.
05:45Jeff hurt himself.
05:46Oh, wow.
05:47Does that answer your question?
05:48This is a monster.
05:50Oh, boy.
05:51Going to drop Van Damme.
05:53Oh, yeah.
05:53Van Damme throwing thunder.
05:55Will that be enough?
05:57The Big Show.
05:58And the Big Show.
06:00The right by the kidneys of referee Earl Hebner.
06:03Jericho's got a tear.
06:07And he just scrambled the brain for Rob Van Damme.
06:10Oh.
06:11And Jeff Hardy.
06:12Jericho with that tear.
06:14Wait a minute.
06:14It's been right across the spine of the Big Show.
06:17That's not a smart thing to do.
06:19And the Big Show's thrown that tear out of the hand of Jericho.
06:23And now the Big Show's got that spear of the tear.
06:26And look at Jericho.
06:28Jericho's fading like he got him with a tear.
06:31What?
06:31Wait a minute, Rip.
06:33I think the referee just disqualified the Big Show for using the tear that Jericho broke into the man.
06:40He didn't do anything.
06:41But you got to admit that was a smart move on.
06:43Oh, it's a slam.
06:44Oh, baby, it wasn't so smart.
06:45I've got a Big Show's been disqualified.
06:48But he may destroy all three of these men before he leaves.
06:51Hey, Rip.
06:52Let me show you this.
06:53Oh, my gosh.
06:54Oh, my.
06:567'2", 500 pounds.
06:58The Big Show.
06:59He did it earlier.
07:01He manhandled all three men.
07:03At least two of the three.
07:05You know, it just seems to me that Big Show can't win.
07:07Nobody else is going to either.
07:09And a hard chokeslam.
07:11The 500-pounder wanted to meet the game at Unforgiven.
07:17And he's disqualified.
07:19And his 500-pound ass has got to get back to the locker room.
07:23How are you at chokeslam the referee, Big Show?
07:25Taking his bar and going home.
07:27Well, folks, we will continue with this match.
07:30This is our final commercial break.
07:32We'll be back for the duration for the rest of this main event when we come back to the way.
07:39We are back for our main event here.
07:42The Big Show has been disqualified and eliminated.
07:44We are down to three men.
07:46Jericho, the first man to speak during the commercial break, has had his way with the two other survivors, Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy.
07:54One of these three men will meet the game at Unforgiven in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 22nd.
08:01You know, JR, keep down in your heart.
08:03You know that Big Show was robbed.
08:05I mean, that was right.
08:06He was robbed, no doubt about it.
08:08And Jeff Hardy, the springboard, paid no dividends there.
08:14Van Dam holding his mouth, man.
08:15What a matchup this is.
08:17Oh, look out, look out, look out, Van Dam.
08:19Good grief.
08:20The somersault punch him over the top.
08:22Van Dam putting life and limb on the line here, but the stakes are that high.
08:27Who will be the number one contender?
08:29Who will meet the world's heavyweight champion in Los Angeles?
08:32And we're forgiven.
08:34And Jeff Hardy.
08:36Drop kick by Jeff Hardy.
08:38Taking down RVD and Jeff Hardy.
08:41The daredevil, the risk taker.
08:43Oh, here he comes.
08:45Oh, Jeff Hardy, the next with a clothesline on both Van Dam and Jericho.
08:51He is.
08:52Yeah, look at him.
08:53For somebody that's not 100%, he's in command, he's in control right now.
08:57Jeff Hardy feeding off this crowd.
08:58Feeding off his will to cast away the shadow of being a tag team wrestler.
09:03He wants to be the number one contender.
09:05He wants to be the world's champion.
09:07There's a hook to the leg.
09:08Jericho's dead.
09:09It puts Jericho.
09:10Just barely.
09:11The nine main folks just barely able to kick out.
09:17The reversal.
09:18Look at Hardy.
09:19Hardy, look at the whisper in the wind, but he got canvas instead.
09:23That's not what Jeff Hardy was looking for.
09:26And now can Jericho capitalize?
09:29I don't know, but that impact was up to the low.
09:31Van Dam.
09:32With the educated beat.
09:33What a shot.
09:34And then the forearm follows it up.
09:36And now Van Dam and Jeff Hardy.
09:39Van Dam and Jeff Hardy, the double team.
09:43Van Dam and Jeff Hardy.
09:44Superflexing Jericho off the top.
09:49And all three men are putting their bodies, their souls on the line here.
09:53Well, what's on the line?
09:55Who'll be in the main event?
09:56Heaven forgive us.
09:57The game.
09:58The world's champion.
09:59But who will be as opposed to the double team?
10:01Oh, without a doubt, it's a double team on Jericho.
10:05Look at how this will be on that.
10:06Oh, there it is.
10:07Yes, every man for himself.
10:08You're damn right it is.
10:10I guarantee it, Van Dam and Jericho love it to come down to just the two of them here.
10:15Well, Jeff Hardy would love to come down to him and anybody.
10:18Look out!
10:19What a move by Van Dam.
10:22Oh, the cut!
10:25Oh, Jeff Hardy kicking out.
10:27And that modified move solved by Van Dam.
10:30He called Jeff Hardy and Jeff Hardy just refuses with his body wrapped with pain from last week's assault from Rosie and Jamal.
10:38Refuse it to lay down here.
10:40Well, that was a big mistake last week.
10:41Eric Kushoff apologized for that.
10:43Look out!
10:44Look out!
10:45Oh, my God!
10:46What a DDT!
10:47Van Dam may have broken his net there.
10:49The hook of a leg and brought Van Dam.
10:52He got his right shoulder inches off the canvas as the hand was coming down for three.
10:57What a dynamic DDT.
10:59I'm going to tell you, somebody that enjoyed that, Triple H, he had to see that.
11:05They had to put a smile on his face.
11:06And Jericho!
11:08Jericho, it looked like the swamp time was coming.
11:12And Jericho with a Lion's heart.
11:14Jericho with a Lion's heart.
11:15But with the leg of Jeff Hardy and the courageous Daredevil Jeff Hardy has been eliminated.
11:20eliminated, but now it's down to two, it's Jericho and Van Damme, the number one contender, the shot to the face, the shot to the face, and the hook of the leg, Van Damme had those hands locked, he had great technique, but Jericho knows what's on the line, both these men, the spies, I cannot believe that, after the DDT, and then that's, Earl stopped the match, check this guy's neck, Earl,
11:48how do you land on your neck and head like that, and look at the cover, the cover here, and look at this, oh my, poor Rob Van Damme, landing on his neck, folded up like an aquarium there, and you can bet right now, that with the stakes as high as they are, that Chris Jericho, Y2J, will not show any surcease on RBD, I don't know, I don't know how RBD is going to be able to continue on, how does his neck,
12:18withstand a ball like that, JR, King has just got to be the, the unmitigated will to win, the will to survive, the will to be the number one contender, but Jericho wants it just as bad, oh man, Jericho struck that steel ring post, and guess who won that battle, you got that right, oh my god, Van Damme's back's got to be killing it, his neck's got to be shooting pain, down his arms and legs,
12:44the shoulder, the shoulder of Y2J, into the ring post, the carnage, the pain, and the abuse, 15 minutes, and he will zell through, to be the number one contender,
12:55I guarantee, in the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, Sunday, September 22nd, it's going to be rocking,
13:02Jericho, what's he doing over here, Jericho gets himself disqualified, he's a real ass clown, I'll tell you that,
13:09that's not smart, and turnbuck was exposed now,
13:13oh, shock, educated, oh my god, what a hookup, shock, look at these, these hits, landed right into the mushroom,
13:20Jericho, he gots, exposed turnbuck, oh, what a monkey's back,
13:24and a great lead check with Rob Van Damme, Van Damme now with a cover, the hook, oh look, he's gotten on, he doesn't,
13:31the first ever undisputed champion, Chris Jericho, wants it just as badly, as Rob Van Damme, here tonight, live on Raw,
13:38I don't think Van Damme even knows what he's going to do next. He just keeps coming at you.
13:45Rob Van Damme didn't get all he wanted there. Jericho got what he wanted there.
13:50He took the left hook. He's got it here. No, he didn't get him. He didn't get it.
13:55Rob Van Damme, they want to kick out and Jericho can't believe it.
13:58Oh, he thought he had the three count there. I thought he had the three count as well.
14:02Man, that Van Damme is so flexible. He is so resilient.
14:06You got to say the same thing about Chris Jericho.
14:14Jericho has been to the promised land. RBD has not.
14:22Irish whip. Oh, Jericho. That slight hesitation may have cost Jericho.
14:28Could that be, could that be the turning point in this main event match?
14:32Live here tonight on Raw.
14:34Oh, look out. Oh, the split-legged moonsault. The split-legged moonsault. The hook of the leg. Oh, my God.
14:40And somehow, some way, Chris Jericho able to reach down and kick out before the three count.
14:48God, what a match. What a night. What a night. What a night.
14:50We're going to talk about this night for a long time to come.
14:52You got that right. We have seen it all tonight. Oh!
14:55A bulldog driving. Van Damme face first to the canvas. And Jericho may be back in the driver's seat.
15:01Oh, oh, oh. Jericho going through the linesault.
15:03Pretty landless deep. Jericho trying to rock that kick.
15:07I think that was RBD kicking right through Jericho.
15:09Oh, oh. I think RBD can feel it. He can smell it.
15:13RBD on the top. Will he hit it?
15:15No!
15:16Five-star. Nobody there. And Van Damme may have thrown the air right out of his carcass.
15:22There's a little insult. Let's go do it here. Let's go do it here. Jericho's going to hook that leg.
15:28He's going to go. He's got a goal. Van Damme. Rob Van Damme.
15:32What? That's the same thing he just beat Jeff Hardy with and he didn't work? He can't believe it.
15:37Jericho absolutely astonished that he didn't keep Van Damme down for the three count.
15:42This crowd is helping Van Damme. He loves an RBD check.
15:47Oh, that's a miracle down. It was a Jericho.
15:49This is a silence of cradles. It's a cradles. It's a cradles here.
15:53And you saw how close it was.
15:55Ripper Earl Hemmer's head coming down.
15:57Oh, man. God, what impact.
16:00Did you hear that?
16:01Right in the spurnum. That caught. And male caught. Jericho's right in the heart.
16:07Good cuddle. Hey, hey, hey.
16:08Now, there's the world's heavyweight champion.
16:10Come in and take a closer look.
16:12I'm trying to look at me.
16:13Come in and take a closer look.
16:14I'm trying to look at Triple H, boy.
16:15Triple H is going to need one of these two men.
16:19Oh, wait a minute. Jericho's got a suit on the ropes.
16:22He's going to steal it or he doesn't.
16:24Jericho tried to steal it. He doesn't care.
16:27Rob Van Damme better stay focused.
16:29Don't get your mind on Triple H.
16:31Jericho hates Triple H just as much as Van Damme does.
16:34I guarantee you.
16:36And look at this.
16:37There's a counter.
16:38Oh!
16:39That's a long turnbuckle.
16:40That burst.
16:41Jericho's strings are scrambled.
16:43Oh!
16:44A kick to the jaw.
16:45Rob Van Damme's got a chance here.
16:48Then he kept the line.
16:50Van Damme.
16:51He hit him!
16:52He hit him!
16:53He hit him!
16:54He hit him!
16:55He hit him!
16:56He hit him!
16:57He hit him!
16:58He hit him!
16:59He hit him!
17:00Oh!
17:01Van Damme!
17:02Van Damme!
17:03Van Damme is for not forgiven!
17:05Here you go, man!
17:09Oh, Van Damme is now the number one to tender for the heavyweight championship of the world!
17:16And I don't think the game like the King would damn this.
17:19Oh!
17:20Check out the look on the face of Triple H.
17:23Here you gentlemen, Rob Van Damme!
17:27Rob Van Damme just went through hell to get the opportunity of a lifetime!
17:32Rob Van Damme wants to be a heavyweight champion of the world!
17:37And he will get his shot now at Unforgiven!
