00:00:00Well, speaking of serious behinds, up next, Bra and Panties.
00:00:06I'll tell you what, this is gonna be a first.
00:00:08The first ever Bra and Panties tag team matchup.
00:00:11Rules are simple.
00:00:12You strip your opponents down to the Bra and Panties, you win.
00:00:16Here's how the four ladies, well, they got the gift.
00:00:22Tori and I, we have thought up of the first ever Bra and
00:00:25Panty tag team match at Invasion.
00:00:29So we're gonna prove to Trish and
00:00:31Lita why the women of WCW always come out on top.
00:00:35Trish, look, I understand we have to team together at Invasion for
00:00:38the Bra and Panties tag team match, right?
00:00:40I'm okay with that, it's business.
00:00:42But we do have some major personal issues.
00:00:45Yeah, personal differences which began a couple of weeks ago when Trish Stratus and
00:00:49Lita's mind had the gall to plant a big old kiss on Lita's boyfriend, Matt Hardy.
00:00:55I don't think Lita's too pleased either with Trish's budding relationship with
00:01:00the one Jeff Hardy.
00:01:01Lita says, come on, let's just get this thing on.
00:01:04Let's get this settled right now.
00:01:05Tori and I are gonna prove why the women of WCW are much more attractive.
00:01:10We have better bodies, and we're way more athletic than Trish and Lita.
00:01:15It was nice meeting you.
00:01:17What was that all about?
00:01:19My girls dig us.
00:01:20Look at the look on Lita's face, she saw that all happen.
00:01:23Man, this is not gonna bode well.
00:01:26That invasion between these four women, let me tell you.
00:01:54Tori Wilson's gonna find herself in a situation she's very familiar with.
00:01:58She's going down.
00:02:00Trish and Lita against Stacey Keebler and Tori Wilson.
00:02:04Invasion is gonna be unreal.
00:02:07First team to strip their opponents down with their broad panties wins.
00:02:11It's that simple.
00:02:12Two of these ladies are gonna be stripped down to their unvisionables.
00:02:15Broad panties, first ever tag team match.
00:02:18Trish and Lita against Stacey Keebler and Tori Wilson.
00:02:24Hey, wait a minute, that's Mick Foley's music.
00:02:33What's Mick Foley doing out here?
00:02:34Wait a second, he's a smart son of a gun.
00:02:41Ladies and gentlemen, your special guest referee for this contest, Mick Foley.
00:02:48I said he would appreciate the matchup between the two referees here tonight on
00:02:53one condition.
00:02:54Well, this must be that one condition, refereeing, throwing panties.
00:02:59I mean, Foley is good.
00:03:02Yes.
00:03:05The following contest is the broad and panties match.
00:03:10Introducing first, representing WCW, Tori Wilson.
00:03:15I've done a lot of research on these broad panties matches, Michael.
00:03:20I studied old tapes of the briscoes and the bunks.
00:03:25This will know what not to call.
00:03:28This is gonna be fun.
00:03:30Mick's gonna have the best seat in the house.
00:03:35A little undue influence there, Mick Foley.
00:03:38Mick Foley's gonna have the best seat in the house.
00:03:41Mick Foley's gonna have the best seat in the house.
00:03:44Mick Foley's gonna have the best seat in the house.
00:03:48A little undue influence there?
00:03:50Maybe.
00:04:02Also representing WCW, Stacey Keebler.
00:04:08I'll tell you one thing, JR, Stacey Keebler, on a serious note,
00:04:11she had an immediate impact here in the World Wrestling Federation.
00:04:14She showed up with WCW owner Shane McMahon one night on a WWF telecast.
00:04:19That was in Stacey's hometown of Baltimore.
00:04:24Broad panties on the way.
00:04:26First ever tag team broad panties matchup.
00:04:32Mick's enjoying this.
00:04:36I'm just wondering how the two WCW representatives are gonna get down to their panties
00:04:41wearing that kind of long ring attire.
00:04:44Strategy.
00:04:45Representing the WWF, introducing first, Chris Stratus.
00:04:53Well, the same uniform, so to speak, for Chris Stratus, broad pants, tank top.
00:04:58Chris extremely confident as he makes her way down to the ring.
00:05:02And Keebler and Wilson continue to try to influence Mick Foley,
00:05:06who is the special guest ref in this matchup.
00:05:10Alita's arrival here, eagerly anticipated.
00:05:19Her opponent, Alita!
00:05:22Alita and Trish have put their differences aside for tonight in this broad panties matchup.
00:05:28Alita's got a great new video out.
00:05:30She's been all over the country promoting it.
00:05:32I know she was at WWF New York last Wednesday night.
00:05:35Huge crowd on hand to see Alita there.
00:05:39And this huge crowd of nearly 18,000 on its feet for Alita.
00:05:43It's Alita and Trish, Tori and Stacey.
00:05:46First ever tag team broad panties matchup.
00:05:48Look at Tori and Stacey using Mick as a shield to take advantage
00:05:51with a slap to the face.
00:05:52And again, JR.
00:05:53The rules are simple.
00:05:55Wow.
00:05:56No pinfalls in this matchup.
00:05:59Women going at it.
00:06:00Tori Wilson taking it to Trish.
00:06:01Alita to Stacey Keebler.
00:06:03And Stacey on the outside.
00:06:05Mick trying to restrain Alita.
00:06:07And let me say that thongs are legal.
00:06:09Yes.
00:06:10Yeah, Trish in control.
00:06:12The way to win this matchup is to wear a thong.
00:06:14I heard the pigs even wear a thong tonight.
00:06:16Stop.
00:06:17In celebration of this match.
00:06:18I hope you're not wearing one.
00:06:19But it may be.
00:06:20Oh, no, no.
00:06:21I'm a boxer.
00:06:22But in any event.
00:06:23That was way too much information there.
00:06:26As Tori kicked through the midsection to Trish.
00:06:28Again, to win this match, you've got to strip both of your opponents,
00:06:30both women, down to their broad panties.
00:06:33Slap.
00:06:34Tori, a shot to the face of Trish.
00:06:37You know, as Tori continues to celebrate that slap,
00:06:40Trish takes advantage.
00:06:42And now here come the big slap by Trish Stratus.
00:06:46Nice reversal of the honor as well.
00:06:48Big clothesline by Trish.
00:06:50Those women going at it here in Invasion.
00:06:52I love a good catfight.
00:06:54You know, JR, Trish and Alita were not too pleased
00:06:57with Stacey Keebler and Tori Wilson.
00:06:59Little kisses they laid on Jack and their heart a few weeks ago.
00:07:02Look out here, Trish.
00:07:04One for the top of Tori Wilson.
00:07:06That was interrupted by the leggy Stacey Keebler.
00:07:10I've been waiting to call a wrestler leggy for years.
00:07:14Oh, look at Trish.
00:07:15Double clothesline.
00:07:16I'm going to have Tori and Stacey.
00:07:17Trish makes it to the corner.
00:07:18Does she?
00:07:19Yes, she does.
00:07:20Here comes Rita.
00:07:21It must be hard for the special guest referee
00:07:22to concentrate this type of matchup.
00:07:26Well, Mick Fole being the best-selling author
00:07:28of the WWL for having a caucus
00:07:32to determine who's actually going to come in the ring.
00:07:34Alita knocking Tori off the apron,
00:07:36and I think it's going to be Stacey
00:07:37coming in the hard way.
00:07:39There's Alita.
00:07:40Goes to work.
00:07:41Well, perhaps the first woman of the night
00:07:43will be stripped of her shirt.
00:07:45I like yellow.
00:07:48And Stacey loses shirt,
00:07:50but still one piece of garment that has to go.
00:07:52Yeah, but both team, both members of the team
00:07:55have got to be stripped down to broad panties.
00:07:58Alita with a handful of tights, so to speak.
00:08:04Stacey off the ropes and hightailing it.
00:08:08Hightailing it?
00:08:09Yes.
00:08:10Alita pursuit of Stacey Keebler.
00:08:13This is interesting.
00:08:16Stacey back into the ring.
00:08:17Tori with a shot to the kidneys.
00:08:19Shot that much.
00:08:22Indeed, Stacey Ross, folks.
00:08:24Hightailing it.
00:08:29Stacey Keebler, Tori wrestling.
00:08:31Alita's in trouble.
00:08:32Speaking of thongs, Alita's shirt's off as well.
00:08:37But again, in order to win,
00:08:38you have to take out shirts and pants
00:08:40of both of your opponents.
00:08:43That's exactly right.
00:08:46Snapmare takedown using a shirt by Alita.
00:08:49Why the hell am I calling wrestling moves?
00:08:51Is it a snapmare because she's a female?
00:08:55That's an interesting question.
00:08:57As Stacey pounces off the dome by Tori.
00:09:01Stacey, come on.
00:09:02Leave us a manhandle or a womanhandle here.
00:09:05The commission for Mick Foley
00:09:06doing very little officiating in this match.
00:09:09I don't blame him.
00:09:10He's got a front row seat.
00:09:11Smart by Mick to put that little provision
00:09:13into his contract here tonight.
00:09:14Lead up to the top.
00:09:15Nobody home.
00:09:17Stacey's putting on awesome there.
00:09:19And now there's a tag.
00:09:21Here comes Tori Wilson.
00:09:22Tori's only about halfway down the rope.
00:09:23Is that okay?
00:09:24What the heck?
00:09:25Here comes Trish.
00:09:26Knocking Tori down.
00:09:28Well, it's been about a minute
00:09:29since somebody's had their bra exposed.
00:09:32Tori's going to get in the corner.
00:09:34Nobody home for Trish.
00:09:36These women putting it all on the line
00:09:38here tonight, so to speak.
00:09:41Speaking of all on the line,
00:09:42the inaugural brawl is right around the corner.
00:09:45And then we will get serious.
00:09:46Yes.
00:09:49And around Trish's hair is Tori Wilson.
00:09:51I wonder what Mr. Wilson is thinking at home right now.
00:09:55Look at this.
00:09:56I wonder what Mr. Stratus is thinking.
00:10:00Oh, no pin falls.
00:10:01Look at this.
00:10:02Great move by Trish.
00:10:04The bottoms have come off.
00:10:06That was one of the most scintillating reversals
00:10:09I've ever seen.
00:10:11I'm with you.
00:10:13Tori Wilson in shock.
00:10:16Trish into the corner.
00:10:17I should say Tori into the corner.
00:10:19A little poetry in motion.
00:10:20Out of the Hardy Boys playbook.
00:10:22Nice teamwork by Alida and Trish.
00:10:24I'll tell you, this is poetry in motion.
00:10:26Tori Wilson has been stripped to her black panties.
00:10:31Bulldog to Stacey Keibler.
00:10:33So in order for Trish Alida to win,
00:10:34they've got to get the pants off of Stacey, right?
00:10:37There you go.
00:10:38I said all along,
00:10:39you want to be a winner,
00:10:40you take Stacey's pants.
00:10:42Alida.
00:10:43Oh, no.
00:10:44You want to be a winner,
00:10:45you take Stacey's pants.
00:10:46Alida.
00:10:47Off the top rope.
00:10:49And Stacey's pants are coming down.
00:10:52We have a winner.
00:10:57Here are your winners,
00:10:58Trish Stratus and Trish Alida.
00:11:01Folks, if you had Alida and Trish
00:11:03in the over-under,
00:11:05you win.
00:11:06Over-under?
00:11:08Flying there, high tailing it.
00:11:10With claws and panties.
00:11:12Referee Mick Foley did a hell of a job here tonight.
00:11:15He earned his pay.
00:11:17Mick is a good negotiator.
00:11:18He really is.
00:11:19Put some stratisfaction for this.
00:11:21Look at Mick.
00:11:22He's collecting the garments.
00:11:25What is Mick Foley going to do with the garments?
00:11:27He'll write another book about this experience.
00:11:29Another number one bestseller.
00:11:31Trish and Alida pick up the win
00:11:33for the WWF.
00:11:36They were so excited, Ableson.
00:11:38Look at this.
00:11:39Look at Mick.
00:11:40Picking up the remnants.
00:11:42He's probably asking Stacey
00:11:44if she wants to give him anything else.
00:11:47I'm changing your top for your bottom.
00:11:49How can you look at Mick Foley?
00:11:55Yes!
00:11:56All right.
00:11:57This is the moment of truth.
00:11:59Okay?
00:12:00The time is now.
00:12:01Now!
00:12:02That's it.
00:12:03It's do or die!
00:12:05If they don't realize
00:12:06that you have the chance tonight
00:12:08to change the course of history...
00:12:10History!
00:12:11Do you realize that you have a chance tonight
00:12:13to show the difference
00:12:14between a loser and a winner?
00:12:17Yes!
00:12:18Do you realize that you have the chance tonight
00:12:20to show everybody
00:12:22the difference between a failure and a God?
00:12:25A God!
00:12:26Now I ask you,
00:12:27what do you want to be in your life?
00:12:29A God!
00:12:30A failure or a God?
00:12:33Who testifies?
00:12:36The time is over for talking.
00:12:39Let's go to this ring
00:12:40and let's get this done.
00:12:41Let's take it!
00:12:42It's ours!
00:12:44We owe this!
00:12:45We owe this!
00:13:03Steve.
00:13:04Steve.
00:13:05Listen, this thing's pretty much all even up here.
00:13:10And I'm not exactly feeling the pressure cuz I've got all the confidence in the world.
00:13:16Are you trying to motivate me, Vince?
00:13:19I don't need nobody to come here and give me no pep rally.
00:13:22I didn't come here to sing to nobody.
00:13:23I ain't here to play guitar to nobody.
00:13:25I ain't here to hurt nobody.
00:13:26I'm here to go out there and whip somebody's ass.
00:13:29Do you know why?
00:13:34Because that's the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold said so.
00:13:41Will it be a crowding moment for the WWF?
00:13:44Up next, the future of sports entertainment is at stake.
00:13:47I'll tell you what, we are going to this last matchup dead even from my math.
00:13:51And folks, this unusual night, this blockbuster night,
00:13:56all started when Shane McMahon fought WCW.
00:14:01I now own WCW.
00:14:04Shane McMahon has fought WCW right from under his father.
00:14:09The WCW Invasion is on.
00:14:12Are you afraid, Vince?
00:14:13The headlines have been drawn.
00:14:14Are you afraid of competition?
00:14:16Shane McMahon is trampling on his family's legacy.
00:14:20The headlines have been drawn.
00:14:22The fight is on.
00:14:23It's now time for WCW to invade the WWF.
00:14:27My God, I can't believe this.
00:14:29The WWF getting dismantled.
00:14:31Where there's chaos, JR, there is opportunity.
00:14:35What the hell is this?
00:14:36Why are the Dudleys, why are Taz beating up their own teammates from the WWF?
00:14:42This invasion just got taken to the extreme.
00:14:48Shane McMahon on the same damn page.
00:14:51I am personally responsible for the merger of WCW and ECW.
00:14:58I got one more thing for you.
00:15:00The new owner of ECW.
00:15:03Give it up for Vince's daughter, Stephanie McMahon.
00:15:07How's that?
00:15:08And together, Shane and I have the power to run the WWF out of business.
00:15:17And the future of the WWF as we know it is very much at stake.
00:15:22You know Stone Cold, the man that I need to lead Team WWF.
00:15:29That invasion is not a Stone Cold Steve Austin who gives me hugs.
00:15:32You know what I need?
00:15:34You know who I need?
00:15:36I need the old Stone Cold.
00:15:39I need the Stone Cold Steve Austin, who's a fierce, swelling, foul mouth.
00:15:45I need the kind of hell raising Stone Cold Steve Austin who don't take no from anybody.
00:15:53I need you to lead Team WWF into invasion.
00:15:57I need the old Stone Cold.
00:15:59Stone Cold, I need you.
00:16:08I need you Austin to lead Team WWF.
00:16:13Damn it Stone Cold, turn around.
00:16:15Come back, Austin.
00:16:17Stone Cold.
00:16:19Where's Stone Cold?
00:16:21Not only is Stone Cold not here, but he's at some local bar drinking.
00:16:26I gotta go find Stone Cold, okay?
00:16:28No one's ever threatened the WWF like this.
00:16:33WCW, ECW combination.
00:16:35We've never had that kind of threat, Steve.
00:16:40Steve, I need your help.
00:16:44This Sunday at Invasion in the Inaugural Brawl, it's our five best against their five best,
00:16:50and their very best, Stone Cold Steve Austin ain't at his best anymore, now is he?
00:16:55Starting tonight, we ain't taking this no more.
00:17:00It is up to every one of you to take out the WWF forever.
00:17:06There's no shame in going out and fighting and getting your ass kicked.
00:17:10The line in the sand has been drawn.
00:17:12There's no going back.
00:17:13Hey, after this Sunday, there is no tomorrow.
00:17:15But there's no honor in not fighting at all.
00:17:18Are you with us?
00:17:19Yeah!
00:17:20Are you with us?
00:17:21Yeah!
00:17:22Gentlemen, now is the time.
00:17:23Get up, stand up, and fight!
00:17:24Fight!
00:17:25Fight!
00:17:26Fight!
00:17:27Fight!
00:17:28Fight!
00:17:29Fight!
00:17:30Fight!
00:17:31Fight!
00:17:32Fight!
00:17:33Fight!
00:17:34Fight!
00:17:35Fight!
00:17:36Fight!
00:17:37Fight!
00:17:38We're outnumbered by ECW and WCW.
00:17:39Wait a minute!
00:17:40There's Stone Cold!
00:17:41It looks like the old Austin!
00:17:42The Rattlesnake is back!
00:17:43Stone Cold Steve Austin is striking anything that by God moves!
00:17:44Austin is leading The WWF!
00:17:45This is our last chance.
00:17:46There's no going back.
00:17:47There is no tomorrow.
00:17:48Feel this moment for the rest of your life!
00:17:49No force of nature and no act of God!
00:17:50We are the WWF!
00:17:51We are the WWF!
00:17:52We are the WWF!
00:17:53We are the WWF!
00:17:54We are the WWF!

00:18:54Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce, the owner of WCW, Shane McMahon!
00:19:01Shane McMahon on March 26th, shocked the sports entertainment world by buying WCW's
00:19:19right from his father's nose, but the surprises didn't stop there.
00:19:26Entering the arena, Paul Heyman and the owner of WCW, Stephanie McMahon!
00:19:51Well, the surprises did not start there, because on July 9th, Stephanie McMahon helmsly
00:19:56introduced as the new owner of ECW.
00:19:59That Heyman is such a bovine, isn't he?
00:20:02He's the general manager, as he likes to call himself, of ECW now.
00:20:07And this is a guest tour organization, the combined group of WCW and ECW.
00:20:13So much at stake tonight.
00:20:16Well, it's all come down to this last match in Cleveland, the very arena we were on March
00:20:2726th, when Shane McMahon bought WCW.
00:20:30How ironic.
00:20:31And this is the ovation for the owner of WCW.
00:20:44Ladies and gentlemen, the owner of the World Wrestling Federation, Mr. McMahon!
00:20:52And this was for a while.
00:20:54What's at stake here in this last match?
00:20:57With a balance of power forever and a day, is what's entertainment to be determined by
00:21:02this match?
00:21:03Well, that is yet to be seen.
00:21:05But it is certainly going to make a major statement for either the WWF or the opposition
00:21:12of WCW and ECW.
00:21:16Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon helmsly selling their stock, divesting their interest in the
00:21:21World Wrestling Federation.
00:21:23They spent their life savings to purchase their companies.
00:21:34The following contest is the inaugural brawl.
00:21:39Introducing the participants, first representing ECW, Diva of the Ring,
00:21:49The livelihood of so many stars, JR, are at stake here tonight in this inaugural brawl.
00:21:56Perhaps the Dudley Boys, if they don't do well in this brawl, they lose.
00:21:59They may never have a job again in this business.
00:22:02Well, they're a great team.
00:22:05Eight-time ECW Tag Team Champions.
00:22:08Multiple-time WWF Tag Team Champions.
00:22:11And look at Heyman, Shane, and Stephanie trying to motivate their troops into a
00:22:18frenzy.
00:22:19The Dudley Boys, former charges of Mr. McMahon.
00:22:40A brothers in destruction.
00:22:43Representing Team WWF, Kane and The Undertaker.
00:22:51Could you feel the passion?
00:22:53Could you feel the emotion?
00:22:55Could you feel the anger of The Undertaker and Kane earlier tonight?
00:22:59Absolutely.
00:23:00Former, both men, former WWF Champions.
00:23:03And I can tell you, they were both personally offended by what Shane and Stephanie said
00:23:09and their actions to the legendary Freddie Glassie.
00:23:12Well into his 80s, relegated to a wheelchair, who had the adrenaline rush to rise from that chair
00:23:19and motivate the WWF soldiers in this encounter here.
00:23:25It is a decade of destruction for The Undertaker.
00:23:29Perhaps no superstar more loyal to the World Wrestling Federation than The Undertaker.
00:23:36And to our fans, this is as much about the WWF fans as it is about the superstars
00:23:43and the people that work in the WWF offices.
00:23:47It's meant for connections.
00:23:53Mr. McMahon on one side of the ring, as simply as on the other.
00:23:57His ungrateful children tell him like it is, that's what they are.
00:24:01Representing ECW, Reynolds.
00:24:05The last ECW Champion.
00:24:09Reynolds, part of Team ECW, WCW.
00:24:15And you can see that idiot, Paul Heyman, out here in front of us.
00:24:19Well, I'll tell you what, this Reynolds is a blue chipper.
00:24:21He was the last ECW Champion and the last ECW TV Champion.
00:24:26From what I understand, he is from Detroit.
00:24:29This guy is an amazing prodigy.
00:24:31He hits the door, it's gonna be over.
00:24:34No matter who's on the receiving end.
00:24:36The master motivator, the cult-like leader, Paul Heyman.
00:24:40Trying to pump up Reyno.
00:24:46And here comes a gamer.
00:25:02What an ovation for Chris Jericho.
00:25:09You know, JR, last month there was some doubt on where Chris Jericho's loyalty stood.
00:25:15Would he defect to WCW?
00:25:18I guess the question's been answered.
00:25:20Absolutely, emphatically.
00:25:22Jericho's got a lot of character and a lot of pride.
00:25:26He had a cup of coffee with a WWF title in a situation that ended in a controversy.
00:25:33It was a travesty how Jericho was treated in that exchange.
00:25:37A little symbolism here that the WWF is in the ring,
00:25:41dominating in the upstart coalition.
00:25:44It's a wrap for the ring outside.
00:25:55JR, you've seen many a WCW champion.
00:25:58I know you don't like the way Booker T holds the title.
00:26:01I love Booker T, I loved his for a long time.
00:26:04Had a lot of character.
00:26:05He's another sell-out.
00:26:06Ladies and gentlemen, the United States champion and WCW champion, Booker T!
00:26:14I mean...
00:26:15Booker T!
00:26:16Booker T!
00:26:17Booker T!
00:26:18Booker T!
00:26:19Booker T!
00:26:20Booker T!
00:26:21Booker T!
00:26:22Booker T!
00:26:23Booker T!
00:26:24Booker T!
00:26:25He's no Ric Flair, he's no Steve,
00:26:28but those guys got some character and some integrity.
00:26:31Booker T!
00:26:32Booker T!
00:26:33Now Shane McMahon, the owner of WCW,
00:26:35is trying to pump Booker T up.
00:26:37Booker T!
00:26:38The inaugural brawl moments away from starting.
00:26:41You can feel the tension in this building.
00:26:45Booker T!
00:26:46Booker T!
00:26:47Oh, there's an insulation for Kurt Angle!
00:26:49Kurt Angle!
00:27:02Former Olympic champion!
00:27:03Former WWE champion!
00:27:07Nick scored a second and a half!
00:27:11Olympic rule!
00:27:12One, two, three, four!
00:27:15We saw Kurt Angle last week destroy Randy.
00:27:17I never thought I'd see a more intense Angle
00:27:20than I did that night.
00:27:21But after what happened to this man
00:27:23at the hands of this coalition on SmackDown Thursday night,
00:27:27Angle is more intense than ever.
00:27:29Angle got very extreme, as you mentioned, Michael.
00:27:32And Angle's got that fire in his eye.
00:27:35He represented our country in the 1996 Olympics,
00:27:37did Kurt Angle.
00:27:39He won a gold medal.
00:27:41This is not about timing.
00:27:43This is about pride.
00:27:46And who's going to be the big dog
00:27:48at Sports Entertainment?
00:27:50It's not job.
00:27:51It's the lunatic.
00:27:54The man who stalked The Undertaker's wife,
00:27:56abducted Scott Cole's wife,
00:27:58Diamond Dallas Page.
00:28:12Diamond Dallas Page!
00:28:14And Undertaker wasted no time
00:28:16going to work on DDP.
00:28:18And here we go.
00:28:19The Inaugural Brawl underway.
00:28:23And here comes the leader of the WWE,
00:28:26Yellowstone Cole!
00:28:28The Texas Rattlesnake is here!
00:28:31And right now, he's ready to fight!
00:28:34And inside the ring, in the Inaugural Brawl,
00:28:37the score is tied.
00:28:38Here tonight in Invasion,
00:28:40who will come out on top
00:28:41and look at the Rattlesnake go?
00:28:44Rattlesnake knocking Ryan up
00:28:45down to his knees.
00:28:46We've got two referees here.
00:28:48Mike Keoughner and Charles Robinson.
00:28:50This is going to be a hell of a match.
00:28:52We'll keep on the control.
00:28:54Two men.
00:28:57It's glad to tell you,
00:28:58for Stone Cold Steve Austin,
00:29:00The Old Austin is back.
00:29:02And that was the ace in the hole
00:29:03for Mr. McMahon.
00:29:04It was like a religious experience
00:29:06last week when The Old Stone Cole came out.
00:29:09When The Old Stone Cole came out.
00:29:12When The Old Stone Cole came out
00:29:14in Boston last week.
00:29:16It was like a religious experience
00:29:17to the WWF fans
00:29:19who have given their heart and souls
00:29:21to The Austin and the WWF Superstar.
00:29:24Although all wrestling fans
00:29:25are on top in the Inaugural Brawl
00:29:27we're officially underway.
00:29:28The WWF Champion
00:29:30against the last ECW Champion,
00:29:32Rhyno.
00:29:34Austin looking like a stunner,
00:29:35you know that.
00:29:36But he likes to torture people.
00:29:37Austin can play as dirty
00:29:39as anybody in the business.
00:29:41And you saw an example of it there.
00:29:42A low blow to Rhyno.
00:29:44And here are the stomps.
00:29:45Stomps to the midsection.
00:29:48Bubblerade definitely faked for it.
00:29:51Bubblerade got that big head of his.
00:29:54And from the Texas Rattlesnake's fist.
00:29:57Rhyno whipped across the ring.
00:29:58Austin catches him with a knee
00:29:59to the midsection.
00:30:01The WWF Champion
00:30:03in control of Rhyno early on.
00:30:05But there is so much at stake.
00:30:06It's hard to describe it.
00:30:08What's at stake in this matchup?
00:30:09Luthas Press!
00:30:10And there are the right hands.
00:30:12Austin using that move
00:30:14from one of the greatest champions
00:30:15of all time, Luthas.
00:30:17And drops the elbow.
00:30:18The point of that elbow.
00:30:19First cover of the matchup.
00:30:20Could he have Rhyno here?
00:30:21And a kick out.
00:30:23It's gonna take a lot more than that though
00:30:24to keep Rhyno down
00:30:25with so much at stake.
00:30:27ECW, WCW
00:30:28against WWF.
00:30:31Austin putting Rhyno
00:30:32with that top turnbuckle.
00:30:33And you never know what
00:30:34Austin's gonna do.
00:30:35Rhyno in a very vulnerable situation.
00:30:38And the knife edge
00:30:39chopped by Stone Cold.
00:30:40And another.
00:30:42And the Texas Rattlesnake
00:30:43hooking the Los Silvers, Michael.
00:30:45Here tonight,
00:30:46he's the WWF Champion
00:30:48and he's leading
00:30:49Team WWF.
00:30:51Well, he's making a major statement.
00:30:52Has a lot to prove.
00:30:53Stone Cold going up
00:30:54to the second rope.
00:30:55Working on Rhyno
00:30:56and on Orthodox Austin here.
00:30:58Stone Cold not working.
00:30:59Not known for working off the rope.
00:31:01But it looks like he's trying
00:31:02to go up top.
00:31:03Stone Cold
00:31:04on the top rope.
00:31:05You're not gonna tell me
00:31:06Austin's gonna try the super.
00:31:07Yes!
00:31:08And he's in!
00:31:09A superplex to Rhyno!
00:31:10Stone Cold!
00:31:12Into the cover!
00:31:13Could have him!
00:31:14And D-Von Dudley
00:31:15may have just saved his team.
00:31:16Oh, there's no way about it.
00:31:18Austin had that match won
00:31:19with a superplex.
00:31:21Almost breaking Rhyno's back.
00:31:23And there's the tag.
00:31:24And here comes Y2J.
00:31:26Chris Jericho,
00:31:27a man who wanted to show
00:31:28his loyalty so desperately
00:31:30to these WWF fans.
00:31:32Welcome to Mr. McMahon's office.
00:31:33Begged and pleaded
00:31:35to be on Team WWF.
00:31:36And here are the right hands
00:31:37to Rhyno.
00:31:40Jericho, those right hands
00:31:41finding their mark.
00:31:42And Rhyno has really
00:31:43been isolated here.
00:31:44Rhyno's gotta make the tag.
00:31:46Or this match
00:31:47is gonna be over
00:31:48in a matter of moments.
00:31:49Rhyno has been in the ring
00:31:50since the get-go.
00:31:51He in the midsection
00:31:52by Rhyno.
00:31:53And Chris Jericho
00:31:54felt that one.
00:31:55And Rhyno follows it up
00:31:56with a clothesline.
00:31:57Nice high impact
00:31:58clothesline by Rhyno.
00:31:59And there he brings
00:32:00Jericho smartly
00:32:02into the WCW
00:32:03ECW corner.
00:32:05And now Booker T
00:32:06got the tag.
00:32:07Remember, he's the
00:32:08WCW champion.
00:32:10He's lucky to be
00:32:11the WCW champion
00:32:12thanks to some shady
00:32:13officiating and
00:32:14shaming man
00:32:15in recent weeks.
00:32:17Booker T
00:32:18looks on
00:32:19Chris Jericho
00:32:20with a chop to the chest.
00:32:23And another one
00:32:24by Booker T
00:32:25who really isn't
00:32:26the person that I
00:32:27believed he was
00:32:28when we first met
00:32:29Booker T.
00:32:30Chop to the chest
00:32:31by Jericho.
00:32:32Booker T showed us
00:32:33he didn't have any
00:32:34character.
00:32:35He sold out
00:32:36big time.
00:32:37As if that takeover
00:32:38almost did a slam
00:32:39into the arm rack
00:32:40takeover
00:32:41by Live2J
00:32:42Chris Jericho.
00:32:43Chris Jericho
00:32:44is beating Booker T
00:32:45to the punch.
00:32:46And here's the cover.
00:32:47Hook of the leg.
00:32:48Good heaven.
00:32:49And Rhyno
00:32:50hits his own man
00:32:51as he went to save
00:32:52Booker T.
00:32:53Rhyno launching
00:32:54into the ring
00:32:55to stop the count.
00:32:56No ring for a dropkick
00:32:57by Chris Jericho
00:32:58taking Rhyno
00:32:59to the outside.
00:33:00Are you surprised, JR?
00:33:01Not only with the
00:33:02way WF is dominating
00:33:03this ball.
00:33:04No surprise in that
00:33:05statement.
00:33:06But not about the face.
00:33:07He knew it'd be crazy.
00:33:08Here's the cover.
00:33:09Hook of the leg.
00:33:10And he's gonna kick out.
00:33:11You see the
00:33:12figures on either
00:33:13side of the ring.
00:33:14Mr. McMahon
00:33:15and Ronny's Kurt
00:33:16Angle comes in
00:33:17off the tag.
00:33:18David Shane
00:33:19and Stephanie
00:33:20in the other.
00:33:21I'll tell you one thing.
00:33:22When Kurt Angle's
00:33:23in the ring
00:33:24you're an ankle
00:33:25off the way
00:33:26from the match
00:33:27being over
00:33:28with anybody
00:33:29at any time
00:33:30anywhere.
00:33:32Kurt Angle
00:33:33of the rest
00:33:34of vicious
00:33:35to the WCW
00:33:36champion.
00:33:37Here's the man,
00:33:38JR.
00:33:39Kurt Angle
00:33:40who desperately
00:33:41wanted to prove
00:33:42that he could lead
00:33:43the World Wrestling
00:33:44Federation.
00:33:45I admire the fact
00:33:46that Kurt Angle
00:33:47wanted to be a leader.
00:33:48We don't have enough
00:33:49guys in the locker room
00:33:50that really wanna be
00:33:51leaders.
00:33:52They talk about
00:33:53being a leader.
00:33:54Kurt Angle
00:33:55wanted to be.
00:33:56He wanted to do
00:33:57something about it.
00:33:58But that was
00:33:59a nice spin kick
00:34:00by Kurt Angle.
00:34:01Kurt Angle
00:34:02is the WCW
00:34:03champion right now.
00:34:04And holding that title

00:34:19D-Von continues
00:34:20the assault
00:34:21on Angle.
00:34:22We talked about
00:34:23how much is at stake
00:34:24for the
00:34:25McMahon siblings
00:34:26as you call them,
00:34:27JR.
00:34:28The ungrateful
00:34:29on many occasions.
00:34:30Of course,
00:34:31that didn't happen
00:34:32as these two kids
00:34:33all grown up
00:34:34and put him back there.
00:34:35Kurt Angle
00:34:36the one thing about
00:34:37Kurt Angle
00:34:38a good tag.
00:34:39He can't go on

00:36:27Stay on him Bubba!
00:36:28Stay on!
00:36:29You can hear Shane
00:36:30and his band
00:36:31shouting out directions
00:36:32Paul Heyman
00:36:33playing cheerleader
00:36:34outside the ring.
00:36:35Oh!
00:36:36Face by Kane
00:36:37and the Big Red Machine
00:36:40with a climb to the top
00:36:42but perhaps gonna fall off.
00:36:44I don't know how strategic
00:36:46this is
00:36:47paying up one time.
00:36:48Could be all or nothing.
00:36:49Oh!
00:36:50And he knocks
00:36:51Bubba Ray down
00:36:52almost took him
00:36:53out of his boots.
00:36:54Here's the cover
00:36:55we could have a victory
00:36:56here for Team WWE.
00:36:57No!
00:36:58D-Von breaks up
00:36:59the three count.
00:37:00D-Von done a good
00:37:01teamwork there by D-Von
00:37:02sensing that Bubba Ray
00:37:03was in good trouble
00:37:04and this is the elbation
00:37:05for the American Badass.
00:37:06The Undertaker
00:37:07got that tag
00:37:08and I guarantee you
00:37:09the one guy
00:37:10on the other side
00:37:11that doesn't want a tag
00:37:12is that hideous
00:37:13DDP.
00:37:14And yet it went
00:37:15The Undertaker
00:37:16through emotional trauma
00:37:17after stalking
00:37:18The Undertaker's wife
00:37:19Sarah in recent weeks.
00:37:20Bubba Ray elbowed
00:37:21in the face of
00:37:22The Undertaker
00:37:24Wait a minute
00:37:25cover on The Undertaker
00:37:26could happen
00:37:27but it's gonna take
00:37:28a lot more than that
00:37:29to kick The Undertaker
00:37:30in the head.
00:37:31Emotional trauma
00:37:32if you want.
00:37:33What DDP did
00:37:34was piss off
00:37:35The Undertaker.
00:37:36You don't screw around
00:37:37with The Undertaker's
00:37:38family.
00:37:39Oh!
00:37:40He knocked down
00:37:41Bubba Ray Dudley
00:37:42and Team WWE
00:37:43holds a right hand
00:37:44to DDP.
00:37:45He deserved that one.
00:37:46I'm not gonna hurt
00:37:47his looks
00:37:48I can tell you that
00:37:49and The Undertaker
00:37:50wants to put Bubba Ray
00:37:51away.
00:37:53The Undertaker
00:37:54puts something on
00:37:55in the barbeque sauce
00:37:56won't take off.
00:37:57And The Undertaker
00:37:58may go
00:37:59he may think about
00:38:00going old school here.
00:38:01A shot
00:38:02for that left hand
00:38:03to Bubba Ray Dudley.
00:38:04Kick to the midsection.
00:38:07Ten years
00:38:08of destruction
00:38:09for The Undertaker
00:38:10has been the biggest
00:38:11and the best

00:38:30And Bubba Ray
00:38:31makes it back
00:38:32to Rhyno.
00:38:33Dangerous man.
00:38:34A dangerous man.
00:38:35This is a
00:38:36shame the Stephanie
00:38:37have put together
00:38:38a hell of a time in Raw.
00:38:39They're deep

00:38:47This WCW

00:38:50it's their last chance
00:38:51to shine.
00:38:52And DDP now
00:38:53begging for a tag

00:38:55the tag
00:38:56with The Undertaker
00:38:57down
00:38:58in a viral position.
00:38:59And DDP
00:39:00is the bravest man
00:39:01in America
00:39:02when The Undertaker
00:39:03is hurt.
00:39:04He's a big man
00:39:05alright.
00:39:06After The Undertaker
00:39:07had the wind
00:39:08knocked out of him

00:39:26your ribs up.
00:39:27Clothesline by DDP.
00:39:28Cover on The Undertaker.
00:39:29He kicks out again.
00:39:30DDP cannot beat
00:39:31The Undertaker
00:39:32with a clothesline.
00:39:33In some of these days
00:39:34he's going to realize
00:39:35that.
00:39:36Undertaker whipped
00:39:37across the ring.
00:39:38Diamond Dallas Page
00:39:39misses clothesline.
00:39:40Went for the elbow
00:39:41back into The Undertaker.
00:39:42Undertaker
00:39:43suffers the fate
00:39:44of The Undertaker
00:39:45and now
00:39:46The Undertaker
00:39:48suffers the fate
00:39:49of the DDT.
00:39:50Here's the cover
00:39:51by DDP
00:39:52and Taker gets
00:39:53the shoulder up again.
00:39:54And Page says
00:39:55I can't beat him
00:39:56with the clotheslines
00:39:57and DDT.
00:39:58Let's let the champ do it.
00:39:59Yeah, let's get
00:40:00the champ in there.
00:40:01Booker T
00:40:02on the right hand.
00:40:03WCW champion.
00:40:04WCW
00:40:05United States champion.
00:40:06Undertaker
00:40:07suffers the
00:40:08boot to the face
00:40:09of Booker T.
00:40:10Hook to the leg.
00:40:11Could have it.
00:40:12And a kick out.
00:40:13And maybe we'll be so
00:40:14so honored
00:40:15that we can even
00:40:16see the Spinner Rooney.
00:40:17That's already a
00:40:18devastating move
00:40:19that Booker T's
00:40:20perfected.
00:40:21Spinner Rooney.
00:40:22Give me a point.
00:40:23Booker T
00:40:24whipping Undertaker
00:40:25off the ropes.
00:40:26Undertaker
00:40:27challenge.
00:40:28Drain Booker T.
00:40:29Perhaps the frustration
00:40:30you can see
00:40:31setting into the eyes
00:40:32of Stephanie and Paul Heyman
00:40:33and Shane McMahon
00:40:34realizing Undertaker
00:40:35is taking all their guys
00:40:36can take.
00:40:37And he's still rolling.
00:40:38And into the cover.
00:40:39There's two.
00:40:40Upwind Rhyno
00:40:41just saved
00:40:42his partner Booker T.
00:40:43There is one
00:40:44ball to a finish here.
00:40:45And the main event
00:40:46here at Invasion.
00:40:47Stone Cold got the tag.
00:40:49Austin won the tag.
00:40:51And he's more than happy
00:40:52just to beat the hell
00:40:53out of Booker T.
00:40:54The man that brought
00:40:55Austin to the
00:40:56announce table
00:40:57at the King of the Ring
00:40:58a month ago.
00:40:59Today to attempt
00:41:00Austin to go behind
00:41:01and have a six-square guard.
00:41:02Just a week after that
00:41:04as Austin continues
00:41:05the assault
00:41:06on the champion.
00:41:07Austin is stumbling
00:41:08but at home
00:41:09in Booker T
00:41:10and what can he try?
00:41:12Finished up
00:41:13since Rattlesnake
00:41:14and a wrinkle in the eyes
00:41:15by the WCW champion.
00:41:17Vintage Booker T.
00:41:18The WCW champion.
00:41:20The WWF champion.
00:41:22Austin almost beheaded
00:41:23Booker T on that exchange.
00:41:25Clothesline by Stone Cold.
00:41:26Paul Heyman said
00:41:27the WWF has a Stone Cold
00:41:29who isn't good anymore.
00:41:30Well so much for that
00:41:31as Booker counters
00:41:32the Stunner.
00:41:34Austin looking for the Stunner
00:41:35and just nailed Booker T
00:41:37and took him to the outside.
00:41:39And now Austin
00:41:40outside the ring.
00:41:41Booker T in the barricade
00:41:42and out of the crowd now.
00:41:44Austin and Booker T
00:41:45obviously the two legal men here
00:41:47and Austin cannot beat
00:41:48Booker T on the outside.
00:41:50He can damage him
00:41:51with a suplex
00:41:52from the outside balcony.
00:41:54JR, you see
00:41:55the intensity
00:41:56Austin's bringing here tonight.
00:41:57I haven't seen it
00:41:58in a long, long time
00:41:59out of the Rattlesnake.
00:42:00I saw it plenty of times
00:42:01in days gone by.
00:42:02But I haven't seen
00:42:03this kind of intensity.
00:42:05Certainly it was
00:42:06a pre-dated
00:42:07WrestleMania this year.
00:42:09Chris Jericho
00:42:11from the World Wrestling Federation
00:42:13delivers that axe handle
00:42:14and on the chop to Booker T.
00:42:17If you're in one of these matchups
00:42:185 on 5
00:42:19as a team
00:42:20how do you find some quick tags
00:42:21keeping your men fresh?
00:42:23You gotta figure out
00:42:24how to win a heist
00:42:25make some money.
00:42:26And right now
00:42:27it looks like
00:42:28it could be Booker T.
00:42:29Going for the walls
00:42:30brings Jericho.
00:42:31Diamond Dallas Page
00:42:32may suffer the same fate.
00:42:33He's got GDP over him.
00:42:35Forearm to Booker T
00:42:37who is the legal man.
00:42:39Great ring presence
00:42:40by Jericho
00:42:41on that offensive exchange
00:42:43protecting himself
00:42:44from GDP.
00:42:45There's a springboard
00:42:46on the Lion's Hall
00:42:47and Jericho
00:42:48landed right on his feet.
00:42:49Oh, a cheap shot.
00:42:50And D-Mon
00:42:51and Booker T
00:42:52cheap shot.
00:42:53Jericho
00:42:54getting hung up
00:42:55on the top rope
00:42:56as Paul Heyman
00:42:57enjoys what he's seeing.
00:43:00D-Mon got the tag tackle.
00:43:01Now it's
00:43:02D-Mon
00:43:03and Y2J
00:43:04the two legal men here.
00:43:06Somebody's looking
00:43:07for a fall.
00:43:08One fall to the finish.
00:43:09And whoever wins that fall
00:43:11what does it mean, J.R.,
00:43:13to the sports entertainment industry?
00:43:15That's a great question
00:43:16that I cannot answer.
00:43:17It means something significant.
00:43:19What does it do
00:43:20to the complexion of Raw?
00:43:21What does it do to our fans?
00:43:23As I said earlier
00:43:24as much about our fans
00:43:25as it is about
00:43:26the series themselves.
00:43:28This partisan crowd
00:43:29of legal young men
00:43:30nearly 18,000.
00:43:32Unquiet at this moment
00:43:34as Team WCWE Seattle
00:43:37continues this assault
00:43:38on Jericho.
00:43:39You know, I like the
00:43:40WWE style
00:43:41of sports entertainment.
00:43:42I don't want to go back
00:43:43to seeing that
00:43:44dormant,
00:43:45plain,
00:43:46virtually neutered
00:43:47style of WCW.
00:43:49And then you look
00:43:50at the other side
00:43:51of career shortening
00:43:52of Kool-Aid drinking
00:43:53ECW style.
00:43:55That started off
00:43:56last fall
00:43:57and it's ending
00:43:58at one time.
00:43:59Well, here's the tag
00:44:00at D-Mon Dudley
00:44:01by Bubba Ray Dudley.
00:44:02This coalition
00:44:03being run
00:44:04by the siblings
00:44:05of Mr. McMahon.
00:44:06The same people
00:44:07who said they couldn't
00:44:08wait for their father
00:44:09to die
00:44:10to inherit the company
00:44:11so they bought
00:44:12two of their own
00:44:13as Jericho continues
00:44:14with that spinning
00:44:15heel kick.
00:44:16Was that a hideous
00:44:17remark by these
00:44:18ungrateful children?
00:44:19I'll tell you what,
00:44:20they've got a wonderful
00:44:21mother in Linda.
00:44:22She's as nice a lady
00:44:23as I've ever met
00:44:24in my life.
00:44:25And as Mr. McMahon
00:44:26has his loss,
00:44:27yeah, he does.
00:44:28As we all do.
00:44:29But these children
00:44:30are so ungrateful
00:44:31that they give a damn
00:44:32about the one name
00:44:33of their mother
00:44:34or their father
00:44:35in my view.
00:44:36And now Kurt Angle
00:44:37now.
00:44:38Kurt Angle
00:44:39bringing house
00:44:40to the Dudley Boys
00:44:41with the right hands
00:44:42and his vicious

00:44:52is owning
00:44:53the Dudleys.
00:44:54He's owning
00:44:55ECW.
00:44:56Here we go.
00:44:57Hook of the leg
00:44:58and Bubba Ray
00:44:59breaks up
00:45:00the three count again.
00:45:01And Kurt Angle's
00:45:02got his suplex
00:45:03and a tremendous rise
00:45:04with a suplex.
00:45:05And what it would do
00:45:06for Kurt Angle
00:45:07in the standing
00:45:08of the World Wrestling
00:45:09Federation.
00:45:10But look at
00:45:11Dyna Devastation.
00:45:12Right in front of us
00:45:13off our table.
00:45:14Bubba Ray Dudley
00:45:15with that sit-out
00:45:16powerbomb.
00:45:17To Kurt Angle.
00:45:18Bubba Ray got a
00:45:19real shot by Angle
00:45:20right in the eye.
00:45:21Right over his
00:45:22left eye.
00:45:23Now D-Mon
00:45:24is the legal man there.
00:45:25Bubba's gonna have
00:45:26a shiner tomorrow.
00:45:27Off the Bubba Bond,
00:45:28D-Mon takes control
00:45:29with the slam
00:45:30to Kurt Angle.
00:45:31D-Mon
00:45:32across the sternum
00:45:33of Angle.
00:45:34D-Mon Dudley
00:45:35into the cover.
00:45:36Angle in trouble.
00:45:37Undertaker makes sure
00:45:38that the Coalition
00:45:39doesn't win.
00:45:40And referee Mike Chioda
00:45:41just trying to do his job
00:45:42and put the Undertaker
00:45:43the illegal man
00:45:44back out on the apron.
00:45:45Paul Heyman!
00:45:46Paul Heyman!
00:45:47Paul Heyman!
00:45:48This crowd getting
00:45:49all into Paul Heyman
00:45:50as Rhyno
00:45:51one of Paul Heyman's
00:45:52charges at ECW
00:45:53makes his way
00:45:54back to the ring.
00:45:55Get him out!
00:45:56Get him out!
00:45:57Get him out!
00:45:58Get him out!
00:45:59Get him out!
00:46:00Get him out!
00:46:01It's over,
00:46:02Plexus of Kurt Angle.
00:46:03I'll tell you one thing
00:46:04that's gonna happen
00:46:05if WCW-ECW
00:46:06can win this matchup
00:46:07tonight.
00:46:08And look at Rhyno.
00:46:09Kurt Angle in trouble
00:46:10on the belly to belly.
00:46:11Here's the cover.
00:46:12There's one.
00:46:13Two.
00:46:14And Austin breaks up
00:46:15the three count.
00:46:16If that Coalition wins,
00:46:17we're gonna have to
00:46:18listen to that idiot
00:46:19Paul Heyman
00:46:20brag about it.
00:46:21That's a fate worse
00:46:22than death in itself.
00:46:23One of the worst
00:46:24can be on a long car trip
00:46:25where you can't
00:46:26turn him off.
00:46:27Kurt Angle
00:46:28being isolated
00:46:29from his corner
00:46:30by the Coalition.
00:46:31And I'll tell you,
00:46:32this team of ECW,
00:46:33WCW stars,
00:46:34doing a fine job
00:46:35keeping each other fresh
00:46:36as Angle tries
00:46:37to battle back.
00:46:38We would be doing
00:46:39a disservice
00:46:40if we didn't give
00:46:41these athletes
00:46:42the credit that is due.
00:46:43We're not talking
00:46:44about their
00:46:45athletic ability,
00:46:46folks,
00:46:47but their character.
00:46:48How they can be
00:46:49mesmerized and manipulated
00:46:50like puppets
00:46:51by a man like Heyman.
00:46:52How they can
00:46:53turn their back
00:46:54on the WWF
00:46:55and the fans.
00:46:56The fans that bought
00:46:57those shirts
00:46:58and those caps
00:46:59and those t-shirts.
00:47:00Isn't that
00:47:01a blithering idiot?
00:47:02Well, he's a master
00:47:03motivator,
00:47:04there's no doubt about it.
00:47:05But he is a blithering
00:47:06idiot,
00:47:07as you said.
00:47:08But these men
00:47:09are buying
00:47:10what Heyman's preaching.
00:47:11He's feeding their egos,
00:47:12telling them what
00:47:13they want to hear.
00:47:14And a lot of lifting,
00:47:15more importantly,
00:47:16Michael,
00:47:17to the two young
00:47:18McMahons.
00:47:19They believe
00:47:20that the young
00:47:21McMahons are the
00:47:22future of sports
00:47:23entertainment.
00:47:24That Vince McMahon
00:47:25and Linda perhaps
00:47:26to a lesser degree
00:47:27should move on,
00:47:28but they're not
00:47:29moving on.

00:49:39world champion
00:49:40Douglas
00:49:43Diversity Junior
00:49:4525,
00:49:4600way
00:49:47along towards
00:49:48is
00:49:51or
00:49:52CAGD
00:49:53all four right into the ring, as Kurt Angle continues to suffer.
00:49:59Look at Angle, Angle is gutting it out.
00:50:04Kurt Angle reaching down, wants to make a time here.
00:50:09Kurt Angle trying to move this massive body of DDP toward the corner to make a tag.
00:50:15I'd like to see Angle tagging The Undertaker.
00:50:18I'd like to see him tagging anybody from the WWE.
00:50:22Back body drop, here comes Austin.
00:50:25No, no, no.
00:50:26Wait a minute, the referee didn't see the tag, and
00:50:29the referee's not going to allow the tag.
00:50:31The referee didn't see it, so he's not going to allow.
00:50:34And look at this beating, this beating frenzy of this pack of warlords.
00:50:39Hammering Kurt Angle.
00:50:40You got to give credit to Kurt Angle.
00:50:42He saw the tag about to be made, he stepped into the ring and drew the referee.
00:50:46That was a bad break for the WWF.
00:50:48But Mike Chioda did the only thing he could do.
00:50:52A neck breaker, and Undertaker's had enough.
00:50:54He's going after DDP right now.
00:50:57He's got that diamond cutter in on Kurt Angle.
00:51:00And The Undertaker, as you said, might have seen enough.
00:51:03And here comes Kane.
00:51:04This deadweight is breaking down.
00:51:06He's breaking down in Cleveland and getting KO'd.
00:51:09The inaugural brawl, all hell has broken loose.
00:51:12D-Von tossed through the rope.
00:51:13Kane had a hard fall to Rey Ducklin.
00:51:15There's the goal, the goal to Undertaker, the goal.
00:51:21Right on corner, Booker T in the right.
00:51:24Right out in front of us, Kane with a right hand to D-Von.
00:51:26A shot to Bubba Ray Dudley as well.
00:51:28DDP into the corner, here comes The Undertaker.
00:51:33Bubba Ray bouncing off the table, right in front of us.
00:51:37Bubba Ray's head just bounced off our table.
00:51:40My God, there's action everywhere.
00:51:41DDP's head just bounced off the mat.
00:51:43Undertaker, he's stepping down, here we go.
00:51:47Chokeslam, chokeslam.
00:51:49Could be time for the last ride, and it would be a last ride for DDP.
00:51:57Booker T and Austin going at it.
00:51:59What does referee Charles Robinson do?
00:52:03Wait a minute.
00:52:04The Undertaker.
00:52:06Things have exploded in Cleveland.
00:52:09Charles Robinson going for the last ride.
00:52:13The WCW referee.
00:52:16My God, this got broken in half.
00:52:20Stoke, Turner, looking to use it outside the ring.
00:52:22Mike Chioda shoving that trash at the WCW referee outside the ring.
00:52:28I think Kane is still the legal man.
00:52:30I think so too, Bubba Ray Dudley bouncing off this announce table.
00:52:36Bubba Ray in no man's land, his head is bounced off this table, not once but twice.
00:52:43He's got a swelling and a cut over his left eye.
00:52:48And here comes D-Von from behind on Kane.
00:52:51Wait a minute, Kane ripping apart the announce table out here at ringside.
00:52:56Destroying monitors left and right as Bubba Ray Dudley attacks Kane.
00:53:01The Big Red Machine.
00:53:03Wait a minute, what is he doing?
00:53:05He's got some evil intentions here, I'll tell you.
00:53:08We got casualties on the outside.
00:53:10We got Kane hit right in the face by Bubba Ray Dudley.
00:53:16And D-Von and the Dudley boys continue the double team at Kane.
00:53:20I don't know what the hell is going on here.
00:53:22All hell is broken loose.
00:53:24A double team at Kane on the Dudleys.
00:53:26Rondo's got Jericho on the other side.
00:53:28Randy Orton and Booker T are left back in the ring.
00:53:31They're the two legal men.
00:53:32Shane McMahon, Stephanie, Paul Heyman looking on intently.
00:53:37As is Mr. McMahon, Kane bouncing off the steel steps.
00:53:40It is anybody's ballgame in this one fall encounter.
00:53:44And the Dudleys looking for some wood here.
00:53:47Bringing out the table are Bubba Ray and D-Von.
00:53:50They're setting up the hardware.
00:53:52The Dudley boys who made their reputations with the tables at ACW.
00:53:57Hoping to break it out in the inaugural brawl tonight.
00:54:01Kane barely able to get back up.
00:54:03Shot to Bubba Ray, boot to the face.
00:54:05D-Von misses right hand.
00:54:07Look out, look out.
00:54:10D-Von's going for the rod, no.
00:54:12Chokeslam, chokeslam, through the table.
00:54:16D-Von just got chokeslammed all the way to hell.
00:54:19Up to our table with no shortcuts.
00:54:21But D-Von, or Bubba Ray has hit Kane in the face of the television monitor.
00:54:26And Kane is down after taking the shot to the head.
00:54:29And Rondo continues the assault.
00:54:31And now Shane McMahon is out here directing traffic.
00:54:37D-Von is in a, in a fetal position on our table.
00:54:40Kane has been hit right in the face of the television monitor.
00:54:43What the hell are they doing?
00:54:44And now Kane has been double teamed by Bubba.
00:54:46God, through the table.
00:54:49Kane through the announce table.
00:54:52Rondo and Bubba Ray double teaming Kane.
00:54:55A vicious suplex, spying first right through the announce table.
00:55:00Rondo Kane's a monster.
00:55:01And it's Jericho, flies off the apron.
00:55:04Rondo through a table.
00:55:06Rondo through a table.
00:55:07Jericho driving Rondo through the table is right.
00:55:12But again, Booker T and Kurt Angle, both legal, both down in the ring.
00:55:19It is carnage outside the ring, here at the Brawl at the Gunderina in Cleveland.
00:55:25Bubba Ray trying to pull himself back up on the apron of the ring now.
00:55:30Heyman trying to motivate Booker T.
00:55:32Mr. McMahon concerned inside the ring.
00:55:37Kane barely moving.
00:55:39And who the hell is the legal man?
00:55:40And you knew Kurt Angle and Booker T from the last count I had.
00:55:45You knew this was not gonna end without casualties.
00:55:47No, we're gonna kill him, we're gonna kill him.
00:55:51Take another look at some of the carnage from the chokeslam through the table.
00:55:55And then it would be Rondo and
00:55:59Bubba Ray delivering a suplex.
00:56:04Check this out, JR.
00:56:06Jericho driving himself and Rondo through that table.
00:56:10We're announcing Bubba Ray and Booker T, double teaming Kurt Angle.
00:56:13Emotions are running high in Cleveland.
00:56:16And ECW, WCW has the advantage in the inaugural brawl.
00:56:20The Undertaker and DDT have fought out of sight.
00:56:23I have no idea where in the hell they are.
00:56:26They both see the grab.
00:56:27Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle, barely back.
00:56:31Perhaps the fate of the WWE rests on his shoulders.
00:56:34Suplex, Angle calling in.
00:56:38There it is, Angle slam, Angle slam.
00:56:41Kurt Angle has owned the opposition.
00:56:44The ankle lock, the ankle lock is gonna be over.
00:56:47And Booker T counters the referee in the back of the ring.
00:56:50We've got one referee down in front of us, WCW.
00:56:53Charles Robinson, face first left hand by Booker T.
00:56:56And now Keown is hurt on the outside.
00:56:58Two referees down, superstars sprawled throughout this gundarina.
00:57:02Mr. McMahon concerned, Heyman, Stephanie, Shane, plain cheerleader.
00:57:08Booker T and Kurt Angle, the legal men, hurt in the ring.
00:57:12Invasion not without casualties.
00:57:14And it's not over yet.
00:57:16Come on.
00:57:18Three men in the ring, Bubba Ray, Dudley, and Paige.
00:57:21Booker T and Kurt Angle as well.
00:57:24Mr. McMahon just got the WWF Championship belt.
00:57:28Mr. McMahon, the championship of Angle.
00:57:33And McMahon tossed the championship to Angle.
00:57:36And Shane McMahon now with the championship, and it's over for Mr. McMahon.
00:57:39God, Shane just hit his own father right in the middle of, right in between the eyes.
00:57:43And he went for a legal, and Kurt Angle sends Shane McMahon packing.
00:57:48And Bubba Ray as well.
00:57:49Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle, it's gonna be over here.
00:57:57Kurt Angle has exploded in the ring, but we need a referee.
00:58:01Booker T is tapping, Booker T is tapping on the ground, and we need a referee.
00:58:06Stone Cold, let's get the referee, let's get the referee in, that's the right thing.
00:58:12Wait a minute, what the, hey, what the, how did this, stop Kurt Angle?
00:58:20What the hell is going on?
00:58:22My God, I was afraid, and now I tell the referee to count, and
00:58:26the referee's got no choice, no, he better be kidding, my God, my God,
00:58:31I don't believe this.
00:58:33Here is your winner, WCW,
00:58:37WCW, my God, the greatest WWE Champion in history.
00:58:45Has he turned his back on every single one of them?
00:58:50What did we just witness?
00:58:51What did this prevalent and 19, 18,000 witness?
00:58:56Laws are just laws, he mentioned that last event.
00:59:00Kurt Angle had the best one.
00:59:03The one that called it Stephanie, and Shane in the ring.
00:59:06But it might be on the other side.
00:59:11I don't believe this.
00:59:14I cannot believe this.
00:59:17Gold Coal Steve Austin has turned his back on every single
00:59:23man, woman, and child who's ever supported him here in the WWE.
00:59:30Every person that supported Austin has been standing right by
00:59:35God in the back, every fan, every one of us.
00:59:40I cannot believe this.
00:59:44Are you telling me the WWE title is now in the enemy's hands?
00:59:50Is that what we're seeing here?
00:59:52This man should be sick.
00:59:56What a no good son of a bitch.
01:00:00Gold Coal Steve Austin,
01:00:05ladies and gentlemen,
01:00:10has been in the face of every
01:00:16WWE fan around the world.
01:00:21Every man, woman, and child who ever supported him has been stabbed in the back.
01:00:25And look at this sick display.
01:00:28My God, I can't believe it.
01:00:30That's a sick accomplishment in the face of every fan here.
01:00:34Every fan around the world.
01:00:36Why, Austin?
01:00:37Why, damn it?
01:00:38Why?
