00:00Well, here he comes, the new World Heavyweight Champion Goldberg, who defeated Triple H last

00:22night at Unforgiven and reached the mountain top. The Goldberg, if I say so myself, has a tall

00:31mountain climb at Christian Yerico, and I personally hope that the highlight of the night, Y2J, is

00:38getting the job done. Y2J is not an opponent to take right in the coach, he's a former champion

00:45himself. And from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 280 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight

00:53Champion Goldberg. You cannot ignore the tools, you cannot ignore the skills, you can't ignore

01:08the intensity by Goldberg, but you certainly cannot ignore the actions that Goldbergs are

01:15working on. Goldberg's fearing our faithful leader, Eric Fischoff, there you see Eric right

01:21now, not too happy and who can claim the man, but out here is the Special Step Referee Flash

01:29Enforcer, courtesy Chris Jericho. I'm gonna make a prediction right here, right now, we're

01:35gonna have a brand new world champion by the end of tonight.

01:39I mean, this is huge. I had no idea that we'd actually, the world heavyweight title on

01:43the line, the very first time that Goldberg is champion here on Raw.

01:47And the very first time that we commentate Raw. What a great night, what a great match.

01:54What a great partner you are, Coach.

01:56Well, and you are too, my friend. Well, these two men have a serious history together as well,

02:01going all the way back to the WCW days, and quite frankly, they've never ever gotten along.

02:07And that's carried over to here in the rings of the WWE also, Coach.

02:11Now Jericho, I think, there you go, needing a quick breather.

02:15Goldberg has one speed, and it's full speed ahead.

02:19And that works for him, but sometimes it can work against Goldberg.

02:23What's Goldberg doing now with the boys?

02:27And Chris Jericho, we're gonna go into something.

02:29And Goldberg, well, Chris Jericho somehow just ran into Eric Bischoff,

02:35had to be unattentioned.

02:36Well, without a doubt.

02:38And Chris Jericho asked Eric Bischoff to come out of a big clothesline for

02:42the new World Heavyweight Champion, and Chris Jericho is down.

02:45Jericho's gotta stop Goldberg, don't let him get momentum.

02:50Because once Goldberg gets moving, he can be an unstoppable force.

02:55Goldberg into the corner, right into the foot of Chris Jericho.

02:58And I'll tell you what, that'll stop him.

03:00But what does Jericho have to do to be successful in this match?

03:03Jericho's gotta take Goldberg down, keep him down, cut off his win.

03:07Stay the one area of the body and wear him out.

03:11Well, Triple H believes that Goldberg can be beaten.

03:17And you heard Triple H earlier tonight.

03:19Didn't believe the hype, now Triple H does.

03:22And what's in a World Heavyweight Title back from Goldberg?

03:25What?

03:26Goldberg just dropped Jericho where the sun

03:31don't shine on that top rope.

03:33That's not exactly what you call a respectful wrestling move.

03:38Is Goldberg even a respectful individual?

03:41Goldberg went for the spear.

03:43Goldberg went for the spear and ran right into the steps.

03:46And still, spearing himself into those steps.

03:50And there you see Chris Jericho onto that top rope.

03:53Goldberg's setting up for the spear.

03:56Jericho smartly moves.

03:57Goldberg practically decimates himself.

04:00It could have been lights out for Chris Jericho.

04:04But now Chris Jericho has the upper hand and Goldberg rolls back in.

04:08Jericho has to stay on that arm, stay on that injury, take advantage of him.

04:13This man is a monster.

04:15And as you alluded to, Al, you have to get Goldberg off his feet.

04:19He's so strong.

04:20And Jericho doing just that, a huge drop kick.

04:23We got a new world heavyweight shape.

04:24One, two, one.

04:25Goldberg kicked out.

04:28And Jericho nearly left here the new world heavyweight champion when this match

04:33continues.

04:34And now Jericho's so smart, just working on that left shoulder,

04:40trying to wear down the big man that is Goldberg.

04:43Now a shot to the back.

04:47And don't forget, Coach, Goldberg's coming off of that grueling match with Triple H.

04:51And here's another cover by Jericho.

04:53That's got to work in favor of Chris Jericho.

04:57And Jericho, again, continuing to work on that left shoulder that Goldberg just

05:03moments ago rammed so hard into the steel steps.

05:07He has to believe.

05:10He almost seems like an indomitable trope, but everybody has their kryptonite.

05:16What a credit to Eric Bischoff.

05:20What a great general manager.

05:22Look at what he's doing for Raw and for the audience of Raw.

05:26Making a match like this tonight here in Washington DC.

05:29And watching on a ringside ever so closely, the co-Raw general manager,

05:34Arbott Eric Bischoff, and Jericho, my God, right back into a huge boot from Goldberg.

05:42And Eric Bischoff has been limited as just a spectator with what he's been through

05:46tonight, courtesy the hands of Goldberg.

05:49Let's check out that kick one more time.

05:51And they're kicking Jericho right to the face.

05:55Jericho caught him with a DDT.

05:57And now Jericho's over the cup, we will have a new champion here.

06:01No.

06:02Come on, ref.

06:03Jericho employing the referee to count maybe a slight bit quicker.

06:07Jericho desperately wants to leave Raw tonight, the new World Heavyweight Champion.

06:11Jericho going for the walls of Jericho.

06:13If Jericho can sink this in on his huge man, Goldberg, we will have a new World Heavyweight champ.

06:20Goldberg's fighting it.

06:21Can Jericho, turn it down.

06:22So strong, so powerful, those legs, those lower limbs of Goldberg.

06:26And now Goldberg has Jericho up.

06:31Has Jericho up.

06:33And catches Jericho.

06:35Goldberg with a display of power.

06:38But you can see that left shoulder bobbering.

06:40Goldberg big time kill him.

06:41And Eric Bischoff, what the hell is Eric Bischoff doing?

06:45Thank goodness for Eric Bischoff out here.

06:48He's keeping things under control.

06:51Well, he calls it right down the middle.

06:53No, no, no.

06:54Bischoff is very tough.

06:56Eric, you gotta watch yourself.

06:58You gotta watch yourself.

06:59Goldberg can't put his hands on Eric.

07:03And from behind, Chris Jericho just nailed Goldberg.

07:09And now the Bulldog by Jericho.

07:11I can feel it.

07:12We are gonna have a new World Heavyweight Champion.

07:14It's in the area.

07:15And it's gonna be Chris Jericho.

07:16What's up?

07:17All the way across the ring.

07:19Bischoff, the ref, count.

07:21Heroically pulling in.

07:22Count Eric.

07:23Count Eric.

07:24Two, no.

07:25One, two, three.

07:28Eric Bischoff nearly counted Chris Jericho to the World Heavyweight Championship.

07:33What?

07:38What in the world is Stone Cold Steve Austin doing out here?

07:42Just now.

07:44He just struck our boss Eric Bischoff.

07:48Stone Cold is not supposed to lay his hands on anybody.

07:51What's not physically promote.

07:53Stone Cold was not physically promote.

07:56Stone Cold.

07:57That's classy.

07:58Stone Cold sticking his nose where it doesn't belong again.

08:02Goldberg spearing Jericho right out of the shoes.

08:08The World Heavyweight Champion just nearly split Prince Jericho in half.

08:15And Austin coming down again and abusing his power.

08:19If Goldberg walks out here, the World Heavyweight Champion, he can give a big time.

08:23And the jackhammer slam is in.

08:29That's it.

08:30Baby.

08:31Full of faith.

08:32And Goldberg successful in his first title for Vince.

08:39Here's your winner and still the World Heavyweight Champion, Goldberg.

08:45I for one hope that Stone Cold Steve Austin is happy.

08:48I hope he's proud.

08:49Well, Triple H is watching somewhere as Goldberg remains a World Heavyweight Champion.

08:56But why again would Stone Cold Steve Austin stick his nose where it doesn't belong?

09:02Because of Jericho.

09:04And the truth, thank you so much for coming here tonight.

09:09I know they had a great time, but they can't be happy.

09:13At least I don't think they're gonna be happy after what we just saw.

09:17Stone Cold Steve Austin again sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.

09:22Goldberg still the World Heavyweight Champion.

09:26The World Heavyweight Champion.

09:27The World Heavyweight Champion.
