00:04:49Michael Cole and Taz at ringside, and what a thrilling night we have in store for you.
00:04:54It's always interesting when the general manager of SmackDown, Stephanie McMahon, kicks things off.
00:05:11You gotta point out she was very lovely this evening.
00:05:16WrestleMania 19 was one of the greatest WrestleManias of all time.
00:05:30Every WWE superstar left their body, heart, and soul right out there on that mat.
00:05:38Especially Kurt Angle and the new WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar.
00:05:47There was a hell of a matchup.
00:05:50Now, neither Kurt nor Brock are here tonight due to the injuries that they sustained during their match at WrestleMania.
00:05:57I don't like it either.
00:06:01But Kurt Angle could be out for as long as two months with a hamstring and neck injury.
00:06:11Now, Brock Lesnar should be back on SmackDown next week.
00:06:14But Brock Lesnar is out due to a severe concussion.
00:06:19Now, this may sound insensitive, but these injuries are the price that every superstar pays for the most coveted prize in this business, the WWE Championship.
00:06:34And the only question that remains is, who will be Brock Lesnar's next opponent for that very title?
00:06:49Well, we're gonna let the SmackDown superstars fight it out.
00:06:56SmackDown will feature a three-week tournament.
00:06:59The winner of which will face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at Backlash.
00:07:05And that tournament begins right now.
00:07:09My, a tournament to determine the number one contender.
00:07:16And who better to be the first injury than the four-time WWE Champion?
00:07:23The WWE Champion.
00:07:30This is the one in the world.
00:07:35The WWE Champion!
00:07:41I don't know where he could be, but it's the one in the world.
00:07:44Come on, it's the one in the world.
00:07:45The Undertaker victorious.
00:07:46The Undertaker has The Undertaker now 11-0 at WrestleMania.
00:07:55After winning that handicap matchup against the Big Show in the A-Trade,
00:07:59after The Undertaker partner Nathan Jones had been taken out earlier in the night.
00:08:06Big Evil, The Undertaker is always focused, especially when he's in his yard.
00:08:16Right out of the box, you gotta figure out that The Undertaker is a favorite in this tournament.
00:08:24You're gonna pay, you're gonna pay.
00:08:26I'm gonna pay.
00:08:27I'm gonna pay.
00:08:28I'm gonna pay.
00:08:35Here we go.
00:08:37Here we go.
00:08:38Here we go.
00:08:39Hey, from Sydney, I know California.
00:08:40Yeah.
00:08:41We're gonna get 175 times.
00:08:43All right.
00:08:44Mysterio.
00:08:46And what a debut WrestleMania for Rey Mysterio this past Sunday night.
00:08:50Mysterio and Matt Hardy battling out for the Cruiserweight title.
00:08:53Matt Hardy needed to use the ropes to retain the championship against Mysterio.
00:08:58But I have to believe, Taz, that Mysterio's the underdog in this matchup here tonight.
00:09:03Well, I can't believe it's pretty obvious when Mysterio is getting a lot up in this matchup.
00:09:08Height, weight, power.
00:09:10One thing Mysterio's gotta have on his side here is speed.
00:09:14Again, this is a first round tournament to determine who will be the number one contender to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at Backlash.
00:09:25And if you take a look at the brackets, from what I see in front of me here, John Cena and Eddie Guerrero meet later on tonight.
00:09:32The winner of that matchup will meet the winner of this matchup, Mysterio and The Undertaker next week.
00:09:37That's usually how tournaments work, Cole.
00:09:39You know, two guys wrestle two guys, and later on, one guy wrestles one guy.
00:09:43Sort of a cat and mouse game here to start for The Undertaker and Mysterio.
00:09:47Mysterio giving away 17 inches, a foot and a half to The Undertaker, and 130 pounds.
00:09:54Well, I think Undertaker ate 130 pounds for lunch.
00:09:59The four-time WWE Champion with one arm.
00:10:02That could be the 175 pound Mysterio into the corner, but Mysterio, his cat like reflexes.
00:10:08And Undertaker grabs Mysterio again.
00:10:11Mysterio trying to drop kick the knee.
00:10:13Got him with a Muay Thai kick and a hamstring, another one.
00:10:16Three of them.
00:10:17That's what Mysterio has to do.
00:10:18He has to knock The Undertaker down.
00:10:19He knocks The Undertaker out of the ring.
00:10:22And I think The Undertaker caught by surprise here.
00:10:26Yeah, Undertaker has been-
00:10:28My God.
00:10:31What a boot.
00:10:33I lost my train of thought after seeing that boot.
00:10:36This Mysterio hit me with his teeth after all.
00:10:38What a shot.
00:10:39Again, this tournament continues tonight with John Cena versus Eddie Guerrero.
00:10:43Also, The A Train versus Chris Benoit.
00:10:45And Rhino versus The Big Show still to come tonight.
00:10:50The Undertaker.
00:10:54I think Rey Mysterio right now is in a world of hurt.
00:10:57He's in a lot of trouble.
00:10:59Undertaker's just too big and strong.
00:11:01How about Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle in a world of hurt.
00:11:03Stephanie McMahon announcing that Angle could be out two months with a neck and
00:11:07hamstring injury.
00:11:08Brock Lesnar's out with a concussion.
00:11:10The price you pay to have the gold.
00:11:13The WWE Championship.
00:11:14What a shot.
00:11:15Trying to Mysterio inside out with that uppercut.
00:11:17Something went quiet.
00:11:18It could have been Mysterio's tooth.
00:11:20His teeth.
00:11:21Tooth or teeth?
00:11:23Tooth is one tooth, right?
00:11:24Yeah, it could have been his tooth.
00:11:25Teeth is more than one.
00:11:26Right.
00:11:27Plural.
00:11:28Studying your grammar.
00:11:29And my dentistry.
00:11:30The Undertaker in control of Rey Mysterio.
00:11:33Look at that.
00:11:34Mysterio, great camera.
00:11:35Jawbreaker right there.
00:11:36There's a haymaker right there.
00:11:39Another right hand there.
00:11:40Mysterio with the right hand trying to fire him against The Undertaker.
00:11:43Keep following Rey, don't let him breathe.
00:11:45Big time Goozle, Mysterio's going.
00:11:53Look at this.
00:11:54Mysterio left on the shoulders of The Undertaker.
00:11:57Yeah, maybe a victory row.
00:11:58White handers.
00:11:59No.
00:12:00The Undertaker.
00:12:02Bandana goes flying.
00:12:04You gotta give it up to Mysterio to take the big man off his feet.
00:12:08Very tough to do.
00:12:09Mysterio capitalized.
00:12:10Uh-oh.
00:12:11619.
00:12:12And it connects.
00:12:14Mysterio.
00:12:15He got it.
00:12:16He got it.
00:12:17He got it.
00:12:18He got it.
00:12:19He got it.
00:12:20He got it.
00:12:21Undertaker kicks out with authority.
00:12:22But The Undertaker has been caught by surprise.
00:12:23And Mysterio could be going for the west coast pop.
00:12:26Come on Mysterio.
00:12:27Should we just say, take a go for it west coast pop?
00:12:30And The Undertaker grabbing Mysterio in midair.
00:12:33Uh-oh.
00:12:34My God.
00:12:35Uh-oh.
00:12:36Someone's going for a ride call.
00:12:41There's no ride collapse.
00:12:43Undertaker hooks the leg.
00:12:47Undertaker advances in the semifinals of the tournament.
00:12:51Here's your one, The Undertaker.
00:12:56The Undertaker will meet either John Cena or Eddie Guerrero next week in
00:13:01Chicago on SmackDown as we head toward determining a number one contender for
00:13:07the WWE title.
00:13:08Rey Mysterio going for the West Coast top, but The Undertaker's just too strong.
00:13:13The Undertaker just takes one little mistake against The Deadman, and then next thing
00:13:17you know, you go for a deadly ride, a last ride courtesy of The Puppetive.
00:13:24Take a look at the updated bracket now.
00:13:26The Undertaker advances in the semifinals next week in Chicago.
00:13:30Who will he face Cena or Eddie Guerrero?
00:13:36I agree with what you said earlier, partner.
00:13:38The Undertaker has got to be the favorite of this tournament, my book.
00:13:43You can't take nothing away from Rey Mysterio here.
00:13:45Mysterio's got a load of intestinal fortitude and heart.
00:13:48Just to get in there, there's a guy, a man, an athlete like The Undertaker.
00:13:53What's The Undertaker doing here?
00:13:54What's this all about?
00:14:00Great show of sportsmanship by the big dog in his yard.
00:14:16I'll tell you what, when you get done wrestling The Undertaker.
00:14:20And he shows a sign of respect to you, like The Undertaker just didn't win Mysterio.
00:14:25Mysterio didn't win the matchup, but he's gotta be feeling real good right now.
00:14:30And there is Mr. McMahon.
00:14:39Is Hogan here yet?
00:14:48No sir, I haven't seen him.
00:14:50The moment Hogan arrives, would you do me the favor of alerting me, please?
00:14:56Yes sir, I can do that.
00:15:01Four days removed from the WrestleMania street fight.
00:15:04What does Mr. McMahon want with Hogan tonight?
00:15:07I know, sounds like an ingredient for an explosion, though.
00:15:20Oh, yeah!
00:15:25Wow.
00:15:30I can slide, watch for me.
00:15:33Version one, Cole.
00:15:35Attitude in the house.
00:15:36Don't forget to hold on that for the Mattitude Follower.
00:15:39Got him off.
00:15:42This is interesting because we were, we were expecting Brian Kettering versus Jamie Noble,
00:15:47but the Cruiserweight champ is heading over here.
00:15:50Well, now Matt is on book 12 times.
00:15:51Nothing about it coming over here.
00:15:53I know, look at this.
00:15:54Got him in, Matt.
00:15:57Well, this is a treat.
00:15:59Can't be seeing you out here, Cruiserweight champ, Matt, how are you?
00:16:02How are you, Taz?
00:16:03Good, good.
00:16:04And of course the Mattitude Follower.
00:16:06Shannon Moore.
00:16:07Hey, what are you doing down there?
00:16:09He's being relaxed.
00:16:10Contested for one fall in the ring from Olympia, Washington,
00:16:15weighing in 181 pounds, Brian Kendrick.
00:16:20Hey, Shannon, I'm glad you're out here.
00:16:23You lost to Brian Kendrick a couple of weeks ago.
00:16:25That's why Kendrick's got a job here in the WWE.
00:16:28What happened?
00:16:28Yeah, I had an earring.
00:16:29I couldn't hear Matt.
00:16:30Yeah, I was trying to give him some advice.
00:16:32He couldn't hear what I was saying.
00:16:33What a shot.
00:16:33On the head over West Virginia, weighing in at 200 pounds, Jamie Noble.
00:16:40Matt Hardy, congratulations on the Cruiserweight Championship at WrestleMania.
00:16:44I mean, you did use the ropes, but you got the victory.
00:16:46Yeah, well, a W is a W in the book.
00:16:48I won regardless of how I did it.
00:16:50And now I'm out here to inject some much-needed Mattitude into tonight's edition of SmackDown.
00:16:55Well, it's Brian Kendrick versus Jamie Noble to start things off here.
00:16:58Matt Hardy, of course, the Cruiserweight Champion, as are Kendrick and
00:17:01Noble Cruiserweight competitors.
00:17:02And Matt, I gotta ask you, how are you staying at the 220-pound weight limit here in the Cruiserweight division?
00:17:07All right, let me take care of it for you, Matt, because my people have told me that your body
00:17:11has grown a tolerance to excessive banana juice.
00:17:14Oh, somebody's in the homework, guys.
00:17:15Well, thank you very much.
00:17:16Tolerance.
00:17:17Tolerance.
00:17:18Now, I know you're off the banana juice, but now I heard you're on this unique tool,
00:17:21a unique tool of yams topped off with lobster sauce.
00:17:25That's absolutely right.
00:17:26Bingo.
00:17:26It's a very breakthrough diet.
00:17:27It's important.
00:17:28Oh, lobster sauce is sticky.
00:17:29Oh, and look at Brian Kendrick, Noble, knocked out of the ring.
00:17:32I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but nonetheless,
00:17:35Brian Kendrick from Olympia, Washington, just down the road here.
00:17:38Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:17:38Tremendous balance taking Noble Dan.
00:17:41You know what?
00:17:41I'll give Brian Kendrick credit.
00:17:43He's a great Cruiserweight, but does he have a number seven book on the bestsellers list?
00:17:46Let's see the book.
00:17:46Let me see that book, Shannon.
00:17:48Please stop with the book.
00:17:50I love this book.
00:17:51It's a cool book.
00:17:52You know, this can't write it.
00:17:53Matt Hardy and who's the other guy?
00:17:54The blonde book?
00:17:54That's it.
00:17:54Matt Hardy and the other guy.
00:17:55Oh, that's good.
00:17:56The other guy.
00:17:56The other guy.
00:17:57The other guy.
00:17:58Look at the idiot ground the leg of Brian Kendrick.
00:18:01Wow.
00:18:01Shoved off the top rope.
00:18:03Brian Kendrick, high risk.
00:18:06That's funny.
00:18:06Not more press.
00:18:07He's gonna have a double and a kick down.
00:18:09Hey, I'm gonna ask you a question, Matt.
00:18:10You're talking about all these Mattitude followers?
00:18:12I only see one, Shannon Moore.
00:18:14Well, the only reason Shannon is the only Mattitude follower, he's the only one
00:18:17that's showing a glimpse of Mattitude.
00:18:20Wow.
00:18:21Here we go.
00:18:21Cover, hook to the leg.
00:18:23Oh, and a kick down.
00:18:24You see, Cole, there's millions of people that want to be Mattitude followers,
00:18:27but they can't because they don't have Mattitude.
00:18:29So those people, well, they're morons.
00:18:30They follow Shannon Moore.
00:18:31Yeah, the morons' room.
00:18:33Morons' room like triple-A baseball, a moron.
00:18:34Yes, like the minor leagues.
00:18:36Baseball.
00:18:37Right.
00:18:37Oh, look out, Jamie Noble.
00:18:39Brian Kendrick trying to gain control of this matchup.
00:18:43Have to believe that the winner here.
00:18:45Oh, look at this.
00:18:45Look at this.
00:18:46Look at that.
00:18:46Hurrican on a pop room.
00:18:47And Jamie Noble shoulders a Kendrick down and he kicks in.
00:18:50What a reversal.
00:18:51That took Mattitude to rumors that move.
00:18:53You have to believe the winner here would be in line for a shot against Matt
00:18:56Hardy in that Cruiserweight Championship.
00:18:58Hook to the leg by Noble again.
00:18:59But for Matt Hardy, Matt Hardy's no paper champion.
00:19:02Matt, you'd face either one of these guys giving up.
00:19:04Absolutely.
00:19:05I am a defending Cruiserweight Champion and the greatest Cruiserweight Champion of all time.
00:19:08You'd have to watch out for Nidia, Matt, if you were beating Jamie Noble.
00:19:13Nidia's pulling on the rope for Jamie Noble, she's pulling the rope.
00:19:16And Kendrick rolled out of the way and Noble just went launching into his girlfriend.
00:19:21That backfired right in the hand as Nidia went down.
00:19:24Noble can't believe it.
00:19:25Kendrick takes control of the slice right number two.
00:19:28Hook to the leg.
00:19:29Kendrick picks up the victory.
00:19:31Noble distracted when he hit Nidia.
00:19:34And Kendrick picks up the win.
00:19:35And where the hell is Matt Hardy going?
00:19:37I don't know, but Chippewa just got a glance at the end of Kendrick.
00:19:40Matt Hardy just threw Brian Kendrick out of the ring.
00:19:43He couldn't even celebrate here in his home state of Washington.
00:19:46What the hell is Matt Hardy's problem?
00:19:47For those of you who may not know my name, I am Matt Hardy version one.
00:19:55The undisputed Cruiserweight champion of the world.
00:20:03Keyword champion.
00:20:08So that's why I'm issuing a challenge to Brock Lesnar.
00:20:15The new WWE champion.
00:20:19Keyword champion.
00:20:25So Brock, if you can get over all this fake concussion business,
00:20:32I say next week, Hardy, Lesnar, champion versus champion.
00:20:41What?
00:20:42Wait a minute.
00:20:42Brian Kendrick did not take too kindly to be tossed out of the ring.
00:20:46And Kendrick is taking it to Morin and Hardy.
00:20:49Let's laugh at that boost in the belly.
00:20:50Alan Christopher.
00:20:51It's the fake cut eggs.
00:20:53The champion, the Cruiserweight champion, Matt Hardy was in the ring.
00:21:00Well, Matt Hardy calls himself the king of the Cruiserweights.
00:21:03Next week, Matt Hardy has challenged the king of the WWE, the champion Brock Lesnar.
00:21:08Hardy's gotta be crazy.
00:21:11Let me think about that.
00:21:12I don't know if he's crazy.
00:21:13He might be crazy like a foxhole.
00:21:15Hardy has challenged Lesnar.
00:21:24Oh, and the armor, hurry up.
00:21:26I'm freezing my guignons off here.
00:21:27This is cold.
00:21:28It's ridiculous.
00:21:29Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy, easy.
00:21:31That stuff's fragile.
00:21:31Bacala, what's wrong with you?
00:21:32Yeah, he thinks it's his girlfriend's trying to get through the front door.
00:21:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:35You forget.
00:21:36I see some of the blood you bring home, stupid.
00:21:37Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:38Take it easy.
00:21:39Get in the car.
00:21:39What I do to deserve these two guys.
00:21:41There you go, jackass.
00:21:43You can have your truck back now.
00:21:44And next time, watch where you're driving.
00:21:47This could be a scary neighborhood.
00:21:48Who will become the number one contender for the WWE Championship and face Brock Lesnar at
00:21:57Backlash?
00:21:58The first round of the tournament continues in Spokane tonight on SmackDown.
00:22:03This past Sunday at WrestleMania,
00:22:05we crowned a new WWE Champion in a great matchup between Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle.
00:22:12The WWE title is on the line in front of 54,000 plus at Safeco Field.
00:22:20Lesnar looks ready.
00:22:22Lesnar wants that championship so bad.
00:22:25And Kurt Angle, you damn near have to kill him to take that championship from Angle.
00:22:30Kurt Angle's like a barracuda.
00:22:32He realizes the injury.
00:22:33He spells the blood and begins the attack.
00:22:35Both men exerting so much energy out here.
00:22:38Both men are just spent.
00:22:40Oh boy, F5 Cole.
00:22:42F5's coming.
00:22:43Hits up the page.
00:22:45The F5 connects.
00:22:46If Brock can get top angle, the match will be over.
00:22:50What the hell is this?
00:22:52What the hell's Lesnar doing, Cole?
00:22:54Oh my God.
00:22:55Brock Lesnar went for the shooting star press.
00:22:58Oh my God.
00:23:00How is Lesnar not dead right now?
00:23:02Here's the come.
00:23:02One, two, we have a new champion.
00:23:06Brock Lesnar is leaving WrestleMania.
00:23:09As a WWE champion.
00:23:11In his first WrestleMania, Brock Lesnar has climbed to the top of the mountain.
00:23:16Look at that.
00:23:17Tremendous sportsmanship from Kurt Angle.
00:23:20But ladies and gentlemen, this is what you did not see.
00:23:25This was after the match at WrestleMania.
00:23:27Brock Lesnar suffering the effects.
00:23:29A concussion following that missed shooting star press.
00:23:31Oh, this was after the show.
00:23:32I got up on the ring ape myself to check on Brock.
00:23:35And when you get a concussion, you don't know where you are.
00:23:38You can't get your bearings.
00:23:39You can see Brock's gaze in his eyes.
00:23:41He had no clue where he was.
00:23:43It was extremely scary.
00:23:45Brock, extremely high-risk maneuver for a 295-pound athlete right on his head.
00:23:49We have to take you back to WrestleMania and dissect what exactly Brock Lesnar did here.
00:23:54We'll take you back to the tape.
00:23:55Lesnar going for the shooting star press.
00:23:56A high-risk maneuver like you said.
00:23:57Yeah, it's hard to watch.
00:23:59The second angle we're gonna see in a moment here.
00:24:02Watch Lesnar's head.
00:24:03That's 295 pounds, ladies and gentlemen, following.
00:24:08Oh!
00:24:09I don't know what to say about it.
00:24:10It's hard to look at it, but we can tell you this.
00:24:12Stephanie McMahon informed us earlier tonight that Brock Lesnar has avoided a career-ending injury.
00:24:18Brock Lesnar luckily suffering only a concussion.
00:24:20You say only a concussion because it could have been much worse.
00:24:22After he landed like that, he still managed to get a win and win the championship at WrestleMania over Kurt Angle.
00:24:29Well, Brock Lesnar will be back on SmackDown next week.
00:24:31And you heard earlier, Matt Hardy has challenged Brock Lesnar.
00:24:34Is Hardy nuts?
00:24:35No, I don't think he stops.
00:24:36I thought about this throwing a break.
00:24:37If there's any time to challenge Brock Lesnar, now would be the time.
00:24:42There might be a kink right now in Lesnar's armor.
00:24:44That concussion, his head might not be all in.
00:24:47Next week, we might see an upset by Matt Hardy.
00:24:49Who's gonna face Brock Lesnar and backlash from the WWE title?
00:24:53Well, the tournament is underway.
00:24:55Undertaker advanced earlier on tonight.
00:24:58The other three matches will take place tonight on SmackDown,
00:25:01including what's coming up next.
00:25:03The rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit, to meet A-Train.
00:25:06It's coming up next on SmackDown.
00:25:09The boss is back!
00:25:21The boss is back!
00:25:25How cool is that, Cole?
00:25:27Pipe is picked!
00:25:28Radio SmackDown next week!
00:25:31I can't wait!
00:25:32Chicago!
00:25:33The first round for the match schedule for one fall.
00:25:41Coaching away from Edmonton, Alberta.
00:25:43Weighing in at 229 pounds, Chris Benoit!
00:25:48Well, here's one man who has to be considered a favorite in this tournament
00:25:52to determine the number one contender for the WWE Championship.
00:25:56Will Chris Benoit advance to Chicago next week?
00:25:59To the semi-finals of this tournament to determine who faces Lesnar?
00:26:04Don't forget Chi-Town!
00:26:06You're gonna get piped as picked!
00:26:07It's back!
00:26:08Oh, man!
00:26:09Chicago's lucky and so are we!
00:26:19And from Boston, that's weighing in at 350 pounds, A-Train!
00:26:26The winner of this matchup between Benoit and A-Train, Edmonton and Chicago.
00:26:31We'll face the winner of the matchup still to come tonight, Rhino versus The Big Show.
00:26:36And what is unique about this is, Benoit could end up facing his tag team partner,
00:26:41Rhino, or A-Train could end up facing his tag team partner, The Big Show.
00:26:45Cole, we can't get nothing past you.
00:26:48You are amazing, you're like a wizard.
00:26:51If you're Chris Benoit, you go into this battle against this 350-pound grizzly bear,
00:26:56as you like to call him, what do you have to do?
00:26:57I've never called him a grizzly bear, but you gotta take the big man off his feet.
00:27:01Can I call him a grizzly bear?
00:27:02I think so, once.
00:27:03Oh, boy.
00:27:03And look at Chris Benoit, nice go behind to the A-Train.
00:27:06The elbows power out.
00:27:08What an aggressive night for the A-Train.
00:27:09See what put Fred off.
00:27:11The A-Train's trying to do.
00:27:13He's trying to just stay on keeping body weight on top of Benoit.
00:27:15Benoit realized that, getting some separation, getting out of the way.
00:27:20This crowd chanting, shave your back to the A-Train.
00:27:23You better get up, I'll go get, oh, okay.
00:27:26Oh, and a shot to the gun.
00:27:28And A-Train again in control of the rabid Wolverine.
00:27:31No, that's not smart.
00:27:32Doug Redd should try now to wrestle Benoit.
00:27:34Benoit, crossface, will he lock it in?
00:27:36Will Benoit lock the crossface in to the A-Train?
00:27:40And a clubbing blow to the back of the neck again.
00:27:42We've seen Benoit and A-Train collide before here on SmackDown.
00:27:45These men know each other pretty good, but you can see the A-Train, the power,
00:27:49starting to stand up.
00:27:50How long is he?
00:27:51Well, Benoit once again, brings A-Train to the back, crossface locked again.
00:27:55Oh, it's in.
00:27:56Will the A-Train tap to the crossface?
00:27:58Will the A-Train tap to Benoit's crossface?
00:28:01Whoa, he's got appendix.
00:28:03Oh, Benoit's shoulders, I thought were down.
00:28:06Bring instincts right there by Chris Benoit to get off his back.
00:28:09What the hell is this?
00:28:11It's like an inverted, a unique version of like a camel clutch kind of.
00:28:15I don't, I don't, my God.
00:28:18Man, that is pure power.
00:28:20And some technique too, I've never seen that before.
00:28:23Very impressive by the A-Train.
00:28:25Chris Benoit, the veteran, wisely rolling out of the ring to try to buy
00:28:28himself some time.
00:28:29Gotta take one more look at this unique maneuver.
00:28:31Yeah, I've never seen this before.
00:28:32Very unique, look at how powerful the A-Train is.
00:28:35He can completely spin Benoit right to his back and slam him.
00:28:40Benoit fighting his A-Train, listening to bring the Wolverine back to the ring.
00:28:44Benoit trying to get his head together here.
00:28:51Here's the cover, hook of the leg, and Benoit gets his shoulder up again.
00:28:55And the A-Train, the 350-pounder.
00:29:01He's taking it to the Rabid Wolverine, and a shot right to the back of the neck.
00:29:06That surgically repaired neck of Benoit.
00:29:08I mean, it's no secret.
00:29:10Well documented in the SmackDown locker room, who's got injured necks and who doesn't?
00:29:15And you can't blame the A-Train for going after that injured neck,
00:29:19the surgically repaired neck of Chris Benoit.
00:29:21Again, two more.
00:29:22First round tournament matches still to come tonight.
00:29:24Plus, Mr. McMahon is here.
00:29:26Hogan is expected, and McMahon wants to know when Hogan arrives here tonight.
00:29:31Benoit with the cross to ring, wow, with authority.
00:29:36I'll tell you what, if A-Train hit one or two big, you know, high-impact removers on Chris Benoit,
00:29:43you might have A-Train advancing in this tournament.
00:29:45Got to go for a pin cover here.
00:29:46You're right.
00:29:47I think A-Train's wasting too much time with a veteran, a tactician like Chris Benoit.
00:29:52He continues the pressure A-Train does on that neck of Chris Benoit.
00:29:55Referee Jimmy Corderas in position to make sure that arm doesn't slow down into a choke.
00:29:59But look at how big A-Train's arm is, Cole.
00:30:03Massive, as big as my thigh.
00:30:05You should not.
00:30:07This time I see legs like yours, they're hanging out of a nest.
00:30:12And there are the elbows to the gut of the A-Train.
00:30:15Benoit battling back.
00:30:16Here comes the Wolverine, and A-Train shuts him down again.
00:30:20Over the top rope goes Benoit.
00:30:24Benoit struggling to get back into this matchup.
00:30:27But perhaps the power is too much.
00:30:30Look out.
00:30:33Going for a sunset flip, Benoit.
00:30:37And a shot to the gut.
00:30:38A-Train is manhandling Benoit.
00:30:43Yeah, A-Train's going for the Decapitator.
00:30:45Benoit might try to-
00:30:46The Decapitator again to the neck of Benoit.
00:30:49Great, great strategy by A-Train.
00:30:53Devastating maneuver to Chris Benoit's neck.
00:30:58Again, the winner of this matchup advances to face Rhino or
00:31:01The Big Show next week in Chicago in the semifinals.
00:31:05The eventual winner of the tournament goes to Backlash to face the WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar.
00:31:13I don't know, A-Train's verbally punking out Chris Benoit.
00:31:16Come on, A-Train, gotta stay on him.
00:31:18You gotta watch Benoit come out of nowhere with something.
00:31:22Roll he up or something.
00:31:23And Benoit with his shoulder in the gut.
00:31:26Benoit trying desperately to stay in this matchup, but A-Train continues to win Benoit.
00:31:31So powerful, the A-Train is so big and strong, but here comes Chris Benoit,
00:31:35ever the fighter, always loaded with intensity.
00:31:40And again, a need in the midsection.
00:31:42Those chops having little effect on the A-Train.
00:31:45That's the size difference.
00:31:46Takes Benoit four or five moves to back up the A-Train.
00:31:49A-Train shuts down Chris Benoit with one move.
00:31:52And look at Benoit, Benoit go behind, nice counter to A-Train,
00:31:56knocks Benoit down with an elbow to the temple.
00:31:58I don't think it's Benoit going for those triple rolling German right there, but.
00:32:03Nobody home, Benoit's quickness, look out.
00:32:05Here we go, Roman German!
00:32:06German suplex connects.
00:32:08Oh, it's a lot.
00:32:09Thing is a lot, too.
00:32:12Another German.
00:32:13A-Train's getting derailed.
00:32:15He's going for a run.
00:32:17A-Train struggling here.
00:32:19And another German suplex connects.
00:32:22Benoit is back in the game.
00:32:24Wolverine's going to fly, Cole.
00:32:34Benoit climbing to the top rope, high risk maneuver.
00:32:39A-Train's in trouble.
00:32:40Benoit.
00:32:41Wolverine's going to win.
00:32:42And sub connects.
00:32:45A-Train trying to roll out of the ring.
00:32:47A-Train might want to try.
00:32:48He's down.
00:32:49Benoit crawls to the cover.
00:32:50Benoit's gonna get it.
00:32:50Here's the cover.
00:32:51A-Train, and A-Train just gets his foot on the bottom rope.
00:32:55Smart, very smart.
00:32:57Now a cover.
00:32:58Hook to the leg by Benoit, and A-Train has to power out this time.
00:33:02There's the take in that big headbutt.
00:33:04And before that, those triple Germans tough to kick out.
00:33:07Takes a lot of energy.
00:33:08Kick right to the face.
00:33:10Another shot.
00:33:11A-Train bicycle kick connects.
00:33:13Son of him.
00:33:14And the A-Train is fired up.
00:33:17Sure is.
00:33:17Benoit's in trouble.
00:33:19A-Train setting him up for the derailleur.
00:33:22And Benoit slides over.
00:33:24He got it.
00:33:25Over.
00:33:26He has the cross face.
00:33:27The cross face is locked in.
00:33:29The cross face is locked in.
00:33:30A-Train's in trouble.
00:33:31And A-Train's starting to stand.
00:33:32Cole.
00:33:33A-Train back to his feet again.
00:33:35How powerful is this?
00:33:36And A-Train, and Benoit still locked in the cross face.
00:33:39That's a pit bull.
00:33:41Here's Benoit.
00:33:42He's like a damn pit bull.
00:33:43Hanging on to the mask of A-Train.
00:33:45A-Train, you might tap Cole.
00:33:47The hand is up in the air.
00:33:49And A-Train taps out.
00:33:50Benoit advances.
00:33:55Here is your winner, Chris Benoit.
00:33:59The turning point of the matchup.
00:34:00When the A-Train went for the derailleur.
00:34:03Benoit used his coordination, plus the sweaty body of the A-Train,
00:34:07to slip behind and lock in the cross face.
00:34:09Take another look, Taz, at what I was talking about here.
00:34:15Well, right here, going for the derailleur, and Benoit,
00:34:18into that figure arm by Woodstock,
00:34:20right into the cross face.
00:34:21And Chris Benoit, so powerful, hung on to that thing,
00:34:25and got the tap out victory over the A-Train.
00:34:28Chicago, Illinois, brace yourself.
00:34:30Benoit is coming to Chicago.
00:34:32He's into the semifinals.
00:34:34But who's he going to face?
00:34:35Fido and Big Show meet later tonight.
00:34:37Too much of that stock up.
00:34:40You know, I'd sell if I have my way to go.
00:34:42Yeah, come on in.
00:34:44No, I'm serious.
00:34:45No, I understand.
00:34:46It was up, but now it's, uh...
00:34:49Hey, listen, why don't I give you a call back on that in the morning, okay?
00:34:52Thanks.
00:34:55Hi.
00:34:55Hey, Dad.
00:34:57How you holding up?
00:35:00I'll be all right.
00:35:04What are you doing here tonight?
00:35:08Well, Steph, let me just say that I'm gonna do something tonight in the ring with Hogan
00:35:15that I should have done a long time ago.
00:35:22Well, Dad, I just want to make sure that you don't do anything that you're going to regret.
00:35:27Thanks.
00:35:32Thanks.
00:35:32We're meant to be broken.
00:35:35Rules were meant to be broken.
00:35:49This country was founded by men who dared to break the rules.
00:35:52In fact, we break them all the time.
00:35:55Didn't you ever speed, take a sip of alcohol before you were 21, have an expired license,
00:36:00failed to curb your dog?
00:36:02It doesn't make you a criminal.
00:36:03You're still a good person.
00:36:05Laws are merely suggestions.
00:36:09Live life the way that you want to.
00:36:11Do it for you.
00:36:13Hell, I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know.
00:36:17It is gonna be some night.
00:36:26Oh, boy.
00:36:26There's Tori Wilson.
00:36:29She's getting ready for her Playboy coming out party tonight.
00:36:33Coming out?
00:36:34I can only imagine what that's gonna be about.
00:36:37She looks beautiful, man.
00:36:39Now she's the cover girl for Playboy.
00:36:42The tournament continues to determine who's gonna face Brock Lesnar and
00:36:47Backlash for the WWE title.
00:36:50The tournament is a first round tournament match scheduled for one fall.
00:37:00Approaching the right from West New Mary, Massachusetts,
00:37:03weighing in at 248 pounds, John Cena.
00:37:08Quit reading in the Raw magazine, huh?
00:37:10Yeah, check I was on the cover, man.
00:37:12Straight up with John Cena, Warren Glenn.
00:37:14Look at him.
00:37:15That's my dog, John Cena.
00:37:16You're a gangster.
00:37:17I'm a gangster.
00:37:18I'm happy to see that.
00:37:18It looks pretty cool.
00:37:19Yeah, G.
00:37:20What's up, G?
00:37:20What's up?
00:37:21What's up?
00:37:22Viva La Raza.
00:37:28And from El Paso, Texas, weighing in at 28 pounds,
00:37:33Eddie Guerrero.
00:37:37Eddie Guerrero to beat John Cena first round of this big tournament.
00:37:41And the winner of this matchup heads to Chicago next week to take on
00:37:45The Undertaker in the semi-finals.
00:37:48I think Stephanie McMahon has a great idea here with this tournament.
00:37:51I really respect him for it.
00:37:52You gotta have the athletes on SmackDown earn the right to become a number one contender.
00:37:57I like that.
00:37:57John Cena's hungry.
00:37:59You know, John Cena wants Brock Lesnar.
00:38:00He'd love to see Brock Lesnar at the end of the rainbow.
00:38:03Cena returning from an injury last week that Lesnar caused with an F5 to the steel post.
00:38:08And Cena continues the assault.
00:38:09Cena is all over Eddie Guerrero, not giving the veteran,
00:38:13Eddie Guerrero a chance to be getting a ring.
00:38:17John Cena and Eddie Guerrero, again the winner.
00:38:22To face The Undertaker next week.
00:38:23John Cena, just look at this, delayed vertical suplex.
00:38:27Guerrero kicking his feet, trying to get back to a vertical base.
00:38:29John Cena connects.
00:38:31And Eddie Guerrero, the veteran, trying to make it to his feet.
00:38:34Hook of the outside leg and Guerrero with the veteran powers out.
00:38:37I like what you said about Stephanie's idea for this tournament.
00:38:40Kurt Angle obviously gonna be at least two months with this neck injury and hamstring injury.
00:38:45So you need a number one contender for Lesnar, and this is the best way to come about it.
00:38:48Have the athletes earn it.
00:38:50And believe me, the SmackDown roster would not want it any other way.
00:38:53Right now, a bandhug locked in by John Cena.
00:38:57John Cena's got a powerlifting background and a body burn background.
00:39:00Very strong grip by Cena.
00:39:02Eddie Guerrero trying to fight.
00:39:04Eddie Guerrero's trying to fight.
00:39:05You know, he'll ride through the split.
00:39:07And look at that Cena driving.
00:39:08Guerrero back first into the turnbuckle.
00:39:10And again, Cena, wow, nice suplex.
00:39:13Hook to the leg again.
00:39:14Not Guerrero, who just kicks out.
00:39:18John Cena has been all of Eddie Guerrero's home match.
00:39:20It's been all John Cena.
00:39:22Latino Heat hadn't got a chance from Jump Street.
00:39:25You've gotta be impressed with what you've seen out of John Cena over the past few months.
00:39:29Well, no doubt I am.
00:39:30I'm always impressed with Eddie Guerrero.
00:39:31I've wrestled Eddie many, many times.
00:39:33I've never had the opportunity to wrestle John Cena in my career.
00:39:36But no pun intended towards Brock.
00:39:37He might be the next big thing.
00:39:39Oh, nice.
00:39:41That's the street fighting instincts of Eddie Guerrero headbutting himself out of that bell.
00:39:46Latino Heat trying to get himself back to this matchup.
00:39:48That's tall toeholding in the second turnbuckle.
00:39:51Eddie Guerrero buys himself some time here, perhaps.
00:39:53John Cena a little overzealous there.
00:39:55The veteran Latino Heat dropped hold.
00:39:58Great move.
00:39:59Cena misses with the right hand.
00:40:01Eddie Guerrero with rights of his own.
00:40:02Latino Heat beginning to fire up against Cena.
00:40:07Oh, a big knockdown.
00:40:08Big time flying forearm by Eddie Guerrero.
00:40:11Okay, Guerrero take advantage.
00:40:12Forearms again to the side of the head of Cena.
00:40:16Cena ripped off the ropes.
00:40:17A clothesline by Guerrero.
00:40:19Eddie Guerrero's starting to build momentum now, Cole.
00:40:21You can see it.
00:40:22You can see the hop in his step.
00:40:23And he's starting to get fired up getting that confidence back.
00:40:26And he's got Cena rocking and rolling now.
00:40:28Bam!
00:40:29Suplex plants Cena.
00:40:30And here's that rolling suplex we've become accustomed to.
00:40:33These verticals, watch out Guerrero, boom.
00:40:35He spins his hips right there.
00:40:36He spins his hips to get back to the vertical base.
00:40:39Why, he hangs on to the front headlock.
00:40:41And here's Cena, again a third time Guerrero delivers.
00:40:43Here's the cover, Guerrero advanced.
00:40:46And Cena just got his shoulder up.
00:40:49Cena's tough.
00:40:49He's a strong dude.
00:40:51Cena's got that big back.
00:40:52The shoulders, very powerful.
00:40:54Eddie Guerrero going to the outside.
00:40:57You're a froggy.
00:40:58Off those vertical suplexes, Guerrero hoping to take advantage.
00:41:01Brad's going for the frog splash.
00:41:03Cena's starting to get up though, Cole.
00:41:04Cena trying to make it to his feet.
00:41:06And he sees him.
00:41:07That's a kick.
00:41:08Eddie Guerrero connects.
00:41:09You got it.
00:41:10Hooks the line.
00:41:11He's moving on.
00:41:11And Cena just barely, barely got the shoulder up.
00:41:16Big time toughness by Cena kicking out of that missile dropkick from the top rope.
00:41:20The rink of the eyes by John Cena.
00:41:22By McCary.
00:41:23Eddie Guerrero on the shoulders of Cena.
00:41:26The right hand to the head of Cena.
00:41:28Wow.
00:41:28Electric chair right there by John Cena.
00:41:31Right back to the back of Eddie Guerrero.
00:41:33Both men are down.
00:41:36John Cena tremendous wherewithal to deliver the electric chair.
00:41:40Wherewithal.
00:41:41First man with his two, look at Cena, going for that steel chain.
00:41:45Referee Fox doesn't see the chain.
00:41:48And a drop kick.
00:41:49The chain goes flying.
00:41:51Guerrero delivered the drop kick.
00:41:54And now Eddie Guerrero has steel chains.
00:41:56Eddie gotta be careful here.
00:41:57Don't wanna be disqualified.
00:41:59No doubt, referee, uh-oh, uh-oh.
00:42:01Eddie was distracted.
00:42:02Press slam.
00:42:03John Cena with the-
00:42:03Counter.
00:42:04Look at the great counter.
00:42:06Back suplexed by Eddie.
00:42:07And now perhaps the end may be near for John Cena.
00:42:13Now Eddie's gotta go for that flash splash.
00:42:15If he hits this on Cena, you gotta figure the end might be near.
00:42:20For one life, John Cena, no!
00:42:22Eddie Guerrero rolled through, and Cena rolled out of the way.
00:42:25Three-quarter roll.
00:42:26Look at that right there.
00:42:27Connects to Cena.
00:42:29Cena trying to shake the cobwebs.
00:42:30Cena looks like he might be out on his feet.
00:42:33And Eddie Guerrero, look at this.
00:42:35Uh-oh, that position, that Death Valley Driver, it almost looks like an F5.
00:42:42John Cena down out with the Death Valley Driver.
00:42:45One, two, three.
00:42:46John Cena advances to Chicago in the semifinals.
00:42:50Here is going on, John Cena!
00:42:55Impressive by John Cena, getting a win over a world-class athlete like Eddie Guerrero in
00:43:04his humongous tournament.
00:43:05Very impressive by Cena.
00:43:07The Death Valley Driver connects.
00:43:09Eddie Guerrero has the experience.
00:43:11It's hard to outthink Eddie Guerrero.
00:43:13Big ups to John Cena, who advances to meet The Undertaker next week on SmackDown.
00:43:19He's caught him in as he's shaping up rapidly, though.
00:43:23John Cena with a tall task at hand next week.
00:43:27Hey, what's this?
00:43:29Looks like a black, long limousine.
00:43:30You know, Nick, Jimmy, let's rock.
00:43:46You know, guys, this looks like...
00:43:48Tom, get the bags, baby.
00:43:49No, this looks like Hulkamania's house.
00:43:51It is Hulkamania's house.
00:43:53Ha-ha!
00:43:54Where's McMahon?
00:43:55Come on, Tom, let's rock.
00:43:56Hey, I got a question.
00:43:58What?
00:43:58Where's Kaymus?
00:44:00Rollin', rollin', rollin' rollin'.
00:44:01Keep rollin', rollin', rollin' rollin'
00:44:03How tight did Limp Bizkit, Fred Durst, sound at WrestleMania?
00:44:31I was with Fred Durst all night. We were partying all night long.
00:44:36You went out with Fred Durst and didn't invite me?
00:44:38Nah, he didn't want you there, but we had a great time. Limp Bizkit was off the hook at WrestleMania.
00:44:43I love a big fan. I can't wait through June.
00:44:45Were the dancers out?
00:44:46Don't worry about the dance. Tell them what happens to June.
00:44:48I know June. The big Limp Bizkit CD comes your way in June. I cannot wait.
00:44:52It's Torrey's Playboy coming out party!
00:45:03I love green!
00:45:06Whoa!
00:45:07Oh, yeah!
00:45:10That's just a little bit smaller than the one I have in my room.
00:45:14And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for Torrey Wilson's Playboy coming out party!
00:45:20Loudly to introduce WWE Diva and Playboy covergirl, Torrey Wilson!
00:45:29You're allowed to read that? Playboy?
00:45:31Yeah, we did. Playboy's a great magazine, especially when Torrey's on the cover.
00:45:35What are you applying it?
00:45:37You know.
00:45:39I hear ya.
00:45:40You know, I just wanted to come out here tonight to say thank you to all of you guys.
00:45:59I mean, who would have thought that all of these people want to see me naked?
00:46:08But even though this is my official Playboy coming out party, how would you people feel
00:46:21about a very special coming out right here in the ring tonight?
00:46:25Oh, yeah! Easy, Cole. Gotta be cool about it.
00:46:28What do you think?
00:46:29Would you like a little sneak preview of what's in the pages of Playboy magazine this month?
00:46:33Are you sure?
00:46:38Here we go. What?
00:46:39Wait a minute!
00:46:43What the hell?
00:46:44It can't be!
00:46:45No!
00:46:46Is it?
00:46:49Sable!
00:46:50Oh, my!
00:46:51It's Sable!
00:46:52Sable's here!
00:46:54Look at Sable!
00:47:09I never thought I'd see Sable back in the WWE, but she's here tonight!
00:47:13She's on SmackDown!
00:47:17I love SmackDown, Cole!
00:47:19It's a great show!
00:47:21Wow, Sable looks phenomenal!
00:47:23Phenomenal isn't the right word!
00:47:26Well, I don't want to say what I was really thinking!
00:47:29It's a family show, but she's kicking!
00:47:33And I don't think Tori has any idea why Sable's out here!
00:47:36Look at Sable!
00:47:37Look at Sable!
00:47:38Look at Tori!
00:47:40Look at Sable!
00:47:42I'd love to be emcee of this thing right now!
00:48:03Tori, I am so sorry to interrupt you, but I'm having a little coming out party of my own.
00:48:14She's getting better, Cole.
00:48:18Because as of tonight, Sable is back in the WWE!
00:48:25And even though I've been gone for a long time, there are some things that just never change.
00:48:39That's for sure!
00:48:41I see all my men still come to see me!
00:48:50And all the women, well, they still want to be me!
00:49:06Especially you, Tori!
00:49:09Seeing as I was the first WWE diva to pose for Playboy!
00:49:19But don't get me wrong!
00:49:21This is your night!
00:49:23And I am so happy for you!
00:49:29Well, I just wanted to let you know that there are a lot of people that don't feel there is
00:49:37enough room in SmackDown for two divas such as ourselves!
00:49:41Who are they?
00:49:42Well, I disagree with that completely!
00:49:47But I personally just wanted to let you know that I think we're going to be the best of friends!
00:50:01Tremendous!
00:50:07All right, Taz!
00:50:11Welcome back to Sable!
00:50:12Like, Tori, Taz, hand me that cigarette!
00:50:15What a tomato!
00:50:17Sable's not, uh, what is going on?
00:50:21I can't even talk!
00:50:22Tori's not too impressed!
00:50:23I am, but then again, uh, I'm very impressed!
00:50:27Look at Sable!
00:50:29Look at Tori!
00:50:30Sable's back!
00:50:31Right here on SmackDown!
00:50:33Sable is back!
00:50:35I don't think Tori's too pleased!
00:50:37Moments ago with SmackDown Shocker, Tori Wilson and her Playboy coming out party was interrupted
00:50:48by Sable!
00:50:49I personally just wanted to let you know that I think we're going to be the best of friends!
00:51:00And look what followed!
00:51:02Yeah, this is, uh, hey, watch Tori's reaction!
00:51:05This is phenomenal!
00:51:06I'm looking forward to see how this unfolds!
00:51:11Well, a lot of people are probably shocked that Sable's back in the WWE!
00:51:15I am!
00:51:16Wow!
00:51:17Sable is back!
00:51:22And here come the Tag Team Champions!
00:51:25Team Angle is in tag action next!
00:51:34Well, tonight's SmackDown is being broken by Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Battle 22, now available on PlayStation game console rated team!
00:51:43And by Rob Zombie's house of 1,000 corpses in theaters April 11th!
00:51:48And by Lori Lott Tobacco Company's new smoking prevention program, reminding you, tobacco is wacko if you're a team!
00:51:57You're a wacko!
00:51:58You're a wacko!
00:51:59You're a wacko sometimes!
00:52:00You're a wacko!
00:52:01You're a wacko!
00:52:02You're a wacko!
00:52:03Silly of wacko!
00:52:04And that combined with a 4.840 pounds for Monaki and Tajiri!
00:52:10The wild crowd tonight in Spokane, Washington for SmackDown next week, next this coming Monday!
00:52:15Milwaukee was caught!
00:52:16And SmackDown hits the Chicago next week as well, as Team Angle taking on Tajiri and Monaki in this non-title matchup!
00:52:23And you can almost see, Taz, the confidence that has grown in Team Angle in this non-title matchup!
00:52:36Two, two, three, two, three!
00:52:40And Wrestlemania!
00:52:41Right now, Shelton Benjamin just toying with Funaki!
00:52:42Why shouldn't Team Angle be confident, Cole?
00:52:43I mean, they've had these titles, but they've defended them successfully against two Funakos!
00:52:48To Jerry, the Japanese buzzsaw!
00:52:49Defending the chip!
00:52:50Funaki and Team Angle!
00:52:52And Shelton Benjamin a little overzealous in Funakos!
00:52:56And you can almost see, Taz, the confidence that has grown in Team Angle over the past two days,
00:53:01that successful title defense at WrestleMania!
00:53:04And Shelton Benjamin a little overzealous in Funakos and Tajiri on the double team!
00:53:07Now I can't remember my point, because they're doing jumping jacks!
00:53:10I always forget things when people do jumping jacks!
00:53:12I'll tell you one thing I won't forget!
00:53:13WrestleMania, a great success, a tremendous crowded safe-go field, a record!
00:53:17Whoa!
00:53:18Of 54,097!
00:53:21You know, fans from all 50 states and 9 countries were at WrestleMania!
00:53:26Shockingly enough, Tajiri and Funakos for a moment, they're out wrestling with the Tag Team Champions!
00:53:31Seth Benjamin hits the tag for Charlie Haas, and here's the double team by Team Angle!
00:53:38Wow!
00:53:39Funakos in trouble now!
00:53:41Very impressive that WrestleMania was Team Angle!
00:53:44Now, Charlie Haas telling Funakos, tag your partner!
00:53:46Go for Team Angle's debut in WrestleMania, their first WrestleMania, and they successfully,
00:53:53easy for me to say, defended their Tag Team Championship!
00:53:57Well, Tajiri comes in off the tag, Charlie Haas wanted the Japanese butt side,
00:54:00and he's gonna get him right here!
00:54:02Come on!
00:54:03Ah!
00:54:04Go!
00:54:05Obviously Tajiri with that extensive martial arts background,
00:54:08Charlie Haas is aware of that, trying to get on him right away to cut him down!
00:54:12Tajiri's caught!
00:54:14Look out!
00:54:15Watch out!
00:54:16What a spitting kick to the chin!
00:54:17Here's the cover!
00:54:18Hook to the leg!
00:54:19And a kick out!
00:54:20Actually, it was a leg lariat, and Tajiri, extremely quick with his feet,
00:54:25of taking those kicks from Tajiri, believe me, they leave a mark, and he hurt a lot!
00:54:30And here we go again, Tajiri, which has lost the ring, shot from Benjamin from behind,
00:54:34a shot to the chin!
00:54:35What a shot!
00:54:36Oh!
00:54:37Man!
00:54:38I mean, you've been in the ring with Tajiri, what quick feet he has!
00:54:41Yeah, out of nowhere, watch out, you might want to go!
00:54:44Oh!
00:54:45Sheldon's just saving Charlie by grabbing the foot!
00:54:47Very smart strategy by Sheldon Benjamin to save his partner, Charlie Haas!
00:54:51And then a right hand by Charlie Haas!
00:54:53Tag suplex right here!
00:54:54Tag Team Champions working well together, here's the cover on Tajiri,
00:54:58hook to the outside leg, and a kick out by Tajiri!
00:55:02I mean, you know, Team Angle, you gotta face a goal, they're low to one intensity,
00:55:06integrity, intelligence, and three eyes!
00:55:09The current angle, we know!
00:55:11Look through the cut!
00:55:12Look at this!
00:55:13Big belly to belly!
00:55:14Oh!
00:55:15Again, you heard the news from Stephanie McMahon earlier tonight,
00:55:18the captain of Team Angle could be out upwards in two months
00:55:21with a neck injury and a hamstring injury.
00:55:23He suffered in his title loss to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania this past Sunday.
00:55:28We've seen this maneuver by Team Angle before this double-team maneuver.
00:55:31Here comes Shelton's back and loop from it!
00:55:33Oh!
00:55:34Across the small of the back of Tajiri,
00:55:37Shelton Benjamin into the cover,
00:55:39hooked to the leg on the Japanese butt saw, who kicks out.
00:55:42You know, Tajiri's a very tough customer.
00:55:45Takes a lot to beat Tajiri, but right here,
00:55:47they're singling out the back of Tajiri.
00:55:50You see that knee well placed in the middle of the spine.
00:55:54They go right here for a half grab, it looks like.
00:55:56Oh, no, that's the Boston grab.
00:55:57Full grab, affecting the lower back of Tajiri.
00:56:00And Tajiri, you can see the anguish in his eyes.
00:56:03Team Angle with Ward down the back, Tajiri trying to make it to the ropes.
00:56:07Oh!
00:56:08Wow!
00:56:09Sometimes when you push up out of that, when you're in a Boston grabbing,
00:56:12it actually hurts your lower back more, but that's the only way to get to the rope.
00:56:15And the tag team champions doing a great job isolating Tajiri from his partner, Funaki.
00:56:20Well, that's what these guys do, Team Angle.
00:56:22That's a great athlete.
00:56:23Oh!
00:56:24Watch his hands beat!
00:56:25Oh, wow!
00:56:26Good for the price of one!
00:56:28And Tajiri into the cup.
00:56:30The tag, here comes Funaki, ducks underneath.
00:56:33Clothesline to Charlie Hawks.
00:56:35Chomp to Benjamin.
00:56:36And number one announcer, Funaki, he's on our own!
00:56:39Funaki in the ring off the tag by Tajiri.
00:56:42Charlie Hawks gets that body drop.
00:56:45Yeah!
00:56:46Another one!
00:56:47One to Benjamin.
00:56:48Uh-oh, Funaki.
00:56:50He's on the apron, Charlie.
00:56:52What was it?
00:56:53There's another girlfriend, I don't know, he's doing something off the top rope.
00:56:56Cross body, lateral press, this could be a huge upset.
00:57:01And Benjamin saves the matchup for his team, here comes Tajiri.
00:57:04A kick right to the back on Shelton Benjamin front Tajiri.
00:57:08Been a wild ride in this tag team matchup.
00:57:10Outline!
00:57:11Tarantula!
00:57:14The Tarantula locked in.
00:57:16Got five seconds to break it, but don't take long to hurt someone with that move.
00:57:19Funaki kicked to the side of the head.
00:57:22And a right hand to Charlie Hawks.
00:57:24Tornado DD, KO blocked!
00:57:26Beautiful counter by Charlie Hawks.
00:57:27And Shelton Benjamin taking Funaki off his feet.
00:57:30What a clip of the knee right down, there it is!
00:57:33This is the Hoss of pain, a submission maneuver.
00:57:36It is locked in and Funaki taps out.
00:57:38No choice, no choice but the top.
00:57:40Here is Team Angle!
00:57:48Look at the look in the eyes of Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Hawks.
00:57:51The confidence losing since winning at WrestleMania.
00:57:55Their first appearance this past Sunday.
00:57:57But you gotta realize too, Team Angle not taking anybody lightly.
00:58:01Good win for the Tag Team Champions.
00:58:03Oh.
00:58:04Good boss.
00:58:05You ready?
00:58:06No problem.
00:58:07Come with me.
00:58:08We're gonna have a little sit down with The Undertaker.
00:58:09Now you guys just hang out.
00:58:10Let me do all the talking.
00:58:11And he's gonna listen to what I have to say.
00:58:12Or else.
00:58:13Kabish?
00:58:14Kabish.
00:58:15I think I saw him right over there.
00:58:16Sit down with The Undertaker.
00:58:17On an all new Sunday night hint, women's champion Trish Stratus defends her title against Ivory.
00:58:30Plus, the newest superstar has arrived.
00:58:32Goldberg is here!
00:58:34WWE Sunday Night Heat.
00:58:36This Sunday at 7.
00:58:40John.
00:58:41John Cena.
00:58:43John, we now know that your opponent next week on SmackDown is The Undertaker.
00:58:47Man, stop it, man.
00:58:48I know what you're thinking.
00:58:49Next week, my chances of winning are slimmer than a busload of anorexic women.
00:58:55Undertaker.
00:58:56He should be in the Hall of Fame.
00:58:59But I never give up, man.
00:59:01That's why they play the game.
00:59:02Like Hugh Hefner on Viagra, bro.
00:59:04I ain't back down.
00:59:06Anything can happen on any given SmackDown.
00:59:10Dead man make me famous?
00:59:12I'm gonna undertake him.
00:59:13I ain't behind the eight ball, dude.
00:59:15I rack him and break him.
00:59:17I shock the world, I make the dead man fall.
00:59:21And leave him like a clear pool table with no balls.
00:59:24Hey, let me tell you.
00:59:25How you doing?
00:59:26I'm doing good.
00:59:27How you doing?
00:59:28I'm doing good.
00:59:29How you doing?
00:59:30I'm doing good.
00:59:31But we need to have a little sit down and discuss a little problem that we're having.
00:59:33Is that right?
00:59:34Well, by all means.
00:59:35Have a seat.
00:59:36Now, none of you guys is wearing a wire, right?
00:59:37Uh-huh.
00:59:38Comedian.
00:59:39Comedian.
00:59:40What can I do for you?
00:59:41Well, the problem we're having relies around your boy, Nathan Jones.
00:59:43And there's one thing I want you to understand.
00:59:45The reason why I'm doing this is why I'm doing this is why I'm doing this.
00:59:47I'm doing good.
00:59:48I'm doing good.
00:59:49How you doing?
00:59:50How you doing?
00:59:51I'm doing good.
00:59:52But we need to have a little sit down and discuss a little problem that we're having.
00:59:53Is that right?
00:59:54Well, by all means.
00:59:55Have a seat.
00:59:56Comedian.
00:59:57Comedian.
00:59:58Comedian.
00:59:59What can I do for you?
01:00:00Well, the problem we're having relies around your boy, Nathan Jones.
01:00:03And there's one thing I want you to understand.
01:00:05The reason why I helped A-Train in the Big Show whack Nathan Jones at WrestleMania was because
01:00:11of what he did to my boy, Columbo, before his match on SmackDown last week.
01:00:16And we were hoping, as men, to come here, sit down, and talk to you.
01:00:22And hopefully we could bury the hatchet.
01:00:24Well, I appreciate you guys coming to me and talking to me like men.
01:00:29And Nathan Jones, you know he's new here to SmackDown.
01:00:32Hey, but that's no excuse.
01:00:34I'm a firm believer.
01:00:35I'm old school.
01:00:36Everybody has to be held accountable for their actions.
01:00:39Absolutely.
01:00:40The man's talking sense.
01:00:42You see, but the problem is this.
01:00:45You chose WrestleMania to take out Nathan Jones.
01:00:51You see, Nathan Jones was my partner at WrestleMania against A-Train and Big Show.
01:00:58He almost didn't make it.
01:01:01I almost got my head kicked in.
01:01:04So, uh, burying the hatchet?
01:01:07Mm-mm.
01:01:09Because in my eyes, we got a problem.
01:01:14Well, I'm really sorry you feel that way.
01:01:19But, Undertaker, you gotta understand.
01:01:22We had no choice.
01:01:23Come on.
01:01:24Yeah, come on.
01:01:25Whoa.
01:01:26Is there a problem here, mate?
01:01:27Oh.
01:01:28We have a problem.
01:01:29What?
01:01:30Do we have a problem?
01:01:31Do we have a problem?
01:01:32We got a problem, but we'll deal with it when we're ready.
01:01:38And when we feel it's the right time to deal with it.
01:01:45Hey, we ain't hard to find, alright?
01:02:05It's hard to find, alright?
01:02:25We'll be in Worcester Saturday,
01:02:35and getTION!
01:02:39Outro слышır!
01:02:43And exit!
01:02:44Oh, tickets to Backlash, ladies and gentlemen.
01:02:46DC, it'll be on sale this coming Saturday.
01:02:48WÃESTER Masslated touchdown!
01:02:53It was Saturday.
01:02:55.
01:03:00.
01:03:02.
01:03:07.
01:03:09As this is the final first round matchup to determine who moves into
01:03:13semifinals to determine their number one contender with the WWE Championship.
01:03:18The winner of this match advances to Chicago next week to take on Chris
01:03:22Bedwalk 500 pounder could be heading to Chicago.
01:03:31.
01:03:32And with Detroit Michigan, way to get into the next 75 pounds.
01:03:37Rino.
01:03:39I'm about to say this is an extremely concrete match to me personally.
01:03:42Rino's extremely powerful, but he's going against that man.
01:03:47The Big Show, we had a shot of a moment ago.
01:03:49A 500 pound giant.
01:03:51I'd like to see if Rhyno can pop off that claw on the Big Show.
01:03:57Now Taz, do you realize if Rhyno can win this match-up,
01:04:00Rhyno would advance to Chicago next week to meet his tag team partner,
01:04:04Chris Benoit in the semifinals.
01:04:06That would be very interesting.
01:04:09I mean, if Benoit and Rhyno both very, wow, there's the power of the Big Show.
01:04:13Very tough competitor, they don't think they backed out from themselves.
01:04:16But right now, the Big Show is a big hand, of course, a big pack.
01:04:21That's like getting hit by a frying pan.
01:04:23And that's like getting hit by a baseball bat.
01:04:26Big Show is in control of Rhyno.
01:04:28Oh, and steps on the small of the back.
01:04:31How about John Cena's rebellious comments moments ago,
01:04:33realizing he's the underdog of the Undertaker
01:04:36in next week's tournament semifinals.
01:04:39Shot to the midsection by the Big Show.
01:04:41John Cena, another guy, another athlete who's not going to back down in one.
01:04:45I dig that.
01:04:45Cena is my dog, man, straight up with Cena.
01:04:49Word life.
01:04:51Rhyno, the Man Beast not getting a chance to get his act together here.
01:04:58Well, the Big Show just overrun him.
01:05:02Big Show, a two-time WWE Champion, continues the pressure.
01:05:07Big Show and Brock Lesnar have a history.
01:05:09You know, Big Show would love to get his hands on Lesnar at Backlash.
01:05:13Everybody wants a piece of Lesnar.
01:05:15I mean, right now, Lesnar, he's got what everybody wants, a WWE Championship.
01:05:20And finding out earlier tonight, Lesnar injured from that incredible
01:05:24shooting star Prince at WrestleMania.
01:05:26Rhyno is in trouble.
01:05:31Beal right here, across the ring, a Beal by the Big Show.
01:05:36I mean, Rhyno's no cruiserweight, ladies and gentlemen.
01:05:38I mean, Rhyno's close to 275, 80 pounds.
01:05:42I haven't seen the Rhyno manhandle like this since he returned from that neck injury.
01:05:46You're in there with a giant, a massive human being, if you want to call him that.
01:05:52The Big Show, but Rhyno now coming with those shots with a gun.
01:05:55Come on, watch him pissing off of him, come on.
01:05:59Rhyno, you can see the excruciating pain in his face.
01:06:02Well, Big Show might go for the kill right here in a few moments.
01:06:05You might see that big choke slam, not even the end of the Man Beast.
01:06:08Rhyno trying to battle back, all heart out of this kid who spent 16 months on
01:06:12the disabled list with an injured neck.
01:06:14But Rhyno is back, it's trying to fire up, got caught, side slam, a humongous side slam.
01:06:21And Big Show connects, this should be it, hook to the line, and Rhyno spits out.
01:06:27And Big Show cannot believe Rhyno spun out of that.
01:06:31Tooth count, that might have been the last gasp energy of Rhyno to kick it out of that
01:06:36big side slam.
01:06:38And whipped into the corner, face first.
01:06:40Make a great point as Big Show, what are you doing here?
01:06:44Big Show ripping off the, ripping off the turnbuckle pad.
01:06:51Ryan Hetner, I just think, I don't know why he's not saying nothing to the Big Show about it or-
01:06:55You say something to it.
01:06:56Well, that's why I'm not a ref, Cole.
01:06:58And a right hand by Rhyno.
01:06:59And another one.
01:07:00The Man Beast trying to fight back and a headbutt driving Rhyno into the corner.
01:07:05Rhyno is hurting here, and he's heading, there's another big field coming right here.
01:07:10The largest athlete in the world, the Big Show.
01:07:14Rhyno's in the corner when that steel is exposed.
01:07:17And Big Show full head of steel, runs into the steel, into his sternum.
01:07:22That's right, sternum first, into the steel there.
01:07:24And Rhyno with a gore.
01:07:29And Big Show down to one knee off the gore.
01:07:32And Big Show's back hit that steel, exposed in that turnbuckle.
01:07:36Rhyno saw the opening, and it's the A train, Big Show's buddies out here.
01:07:40But knocked down with the right hand.
01:07:42A gore!
01:07:43A gore!
01:07:44A gore!
01:07:45Has found the giant.
01:07:46Rhyno taking the big monster off his feet.
01:07:51Can Rhyno capitalize?
01:07:52Big time explosion in that gore.
01:07:55Rhyno trawling, desperately trying to crawl, and A train in the ring.
01:07:59Come on.
01:08:00A train stomping the hell out of Rhyno.
01:08:01Come on, Bryan, have you got to do something?
01:08:04Get A train out of the damn ring.
01:08:06A train has no business being in this damn matchup.
01:08:09What is going on here?
01:08:11A bicycle kicked to Rhyno.
01:08:13The winner of this match is a result of a disqualification, Rhyno.
01:08:24When Rhyno advances in the tournament, if there's anything left to Rhyno after that assault at the hands of the A train.
01:08:31Rhyno's neck, snap his neck.
01:08:33I'm sorry, A train say snap his neck to the Big Show.
01:08:38Look at A train holding Rhyno down.
01:08:42Rhyno just was knocked out by a bicycle kick.
01:08:45Yeah, Rhyno's out.
01:08:46Big Show's gonna finish up Rhyno.
01:08:49A leg drop, 500 pounds.
01:08:52That's a lot of leg coming down on a man's neck.
01:08:56A surgically repaired neck at that.
01:08:59Rhyno has advanced to the semifinals of the tournament.
01:09:03As we take a look at the updated brackets.
01:09:06Rhyno will face his tag team partner and his money Chris Bedouin next week.
01:09:10Undertaker faces John Cena.
01:09:12But what shape is Rhyno gonna come in and we head into the Windy City?
01:09:16Well that's the million dollar question, I'm not quite sure, but this is shaped up into one hell of a tournament.
01:09:22Well the Big Show is out of the tournament.
01:09:24And I wonder if he'll have any problem with his friend A train when he realizes it was the A train who caused the disqualification.
01:09:31The Big Show!
01:09:37It's Mr. McMahon.
01:09:38Is he on his way out here?
01:09:40What's Mr. McMahon's business with Hulk Hogan?
01:09:54The Boss is back!
01:10:01Well, Piper's pet returns to Chicago next week for SmackDown, but Ronnie Piper made an interesting appearance in the street fight between McMahon and Hogan Sunday at WrestleMania.
01:10:13Here's the real Boss Call.
01:10:16Ladies and gentlemen, the Chairman of WWE, Mr. McMahon!
01:10:22Mr. McMahon with a bandage covering the battle scars from a hellacious street fight this past Sunday at WrestleMania.
01:10:30Hulk Hogan survived, Hulkamania continues to run wild, and Mr. McMahon cannot be happy.
01:10:37You gotta wonder what Mr. McMahon's got up his sleeve.
01:10:40No one ever knows what this man is thinking of going to do.
01:10:43He's gonna do something out here tonight.
01:10:48That moment's here.
01:10:50I would appreciate your undivided attention if I get it.
01:11:06You might be surprised with what I have to say here tonight.
01:11:21And again, those of you who really know me probably won't be surprised at all.
01:11:28I think the whole world knows the results of the Hogan-McMahon match at WrestleMania.
01:11:43But tonight, I'm here to admit that, quite frankly, I misjudged Hulk Hogan.
01:11:58I admit to you that I underestimated the power of Hulkamania.
01:12:02And I certainly realize I should have never denigrated the name of an American icon like Hulk Hogan.
01:12:09So tonight, I stand before you as a man to try and set the record straight.
01:12:21So here tonight, I intend to call Hulk Hogan out to this ring.
01:12:29Oh, man!
01:12:34Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling Hogan out here to fight him.
01:12:38That's not why I'm here.
01:12:39Been there, done that.
01:12:42I'm here tonight to call Hogan out to this ring to stand before all of you and publicly apologize to that man.
01:12:50Hogan, if you'll come out, I would appreciate it if this isn't easy.
01:13:03Come on, Hogan, give it easy.
01:13:26Come on.
01:13:27Go.
01:13:28Go embora.
01:13:29Go Bole.
01:13:30Go for this brother's World League seed.
01:13:31Go for the world team.
01:13:32Go for the world.
01:13:33Go for the world to be أ atac.
01:13:34Give it to me from shooter players.
01:13:35Go formuter dalkeeper, Getwith.
01:13:36You got a near delete and….
01:13:37Go for free.
01:14:08Facing retirement Sunday at WrestleMania, Hulk Hogan defeated Mr. McMahon, and indeed, Hulkamania is still running wild.
01:14:33Just like the music says, Jimmy Hendrix just said it.
01:14:38He's standing up next to the mountain and jumping down with the edge of his hand, and Hogan looks right at Vince McMahon as he's saying, you're the mountain, not jumping down.
01:14:47You have to notice the weary look in the eyes of Hulk Hogan.
01:14:52A very weary look.
01:14:54Hogan was concerned.
01:14:56Mr. McMahon calling him out here tonight.
01:14:58Knowing Mr. McMahon's track record is, it is hard to believe that they want to apologize to Hulk Hogan.
01:15:04Well, it's very hard for Mr. McMahon to do what he says he's going to do.
01:15:08I personally believe Mr. McMahon.
01:15:10I believe Mr. McMahon.
01:15:12No more of it.
01:15:15Very weary, it's Hulk Hogan.
01:15:18But these two men had a war at WrestleMania.
01:15:20No doubt.
01:15:21I believe Mr. McMahon has a war at WrestleMania, Hulk Hogan.
01:15:51Okay, McMahon, I'm listening.
01:16:14You don't have any idea how difficult it is for a man like me to accept defeat?
01:16:21You have no idea how a man like me has to deal with the humility of that defeat.
01:16:34I don't like the taste of it.
01:16:42But I'm a realist, Hogan.
01:16:45You know damn well I'm dealing with the reality of the outcome of our match.
01:16:50I'll admit it.
01:16:51You beat the hell out of me.
01:16:52As a realist, I accept that.
01:17:12Don't like it.
01:17:14I accept it.
01:17:15And as a realist, I want to put it behind me.
01:17:22I want to let bygones be bygones.
01:17:26I want to turn the clock back 20 years if I can.
01:17:33I don't blame you for doubting me.
01:17:51But somehow...
01:17:52Somehow, if you can find it in your heart to forgive me,
01:17:57then just maybe one day we can be friends again.
01:18:13What do you say?
01:18:14All right.
01:18:40I had that coming, I guess.
01:18:42If I was in your shoes,
01:18:45I probably wouldn't blame you.
01:18:50Wait a minute, Vince.
01:18:59If you're serious,
01:19:01if you're serious, brother,
01:19:06I can't believe this.
01:19:10I can't believe it either, but...
01:19:14Hey, both men hated each other's guts.
01:19:39They fought it out at WrestleMania.
01:19:4220 years in the making,
01:19:44Vince McMahon was man enough to admit
01:19:45he was not the better man at WrestleMania.
01:19:49They're holding a circle,
01:19:50and they shook hands.
01:19:52The Isle of Branch has been extended.
01:19:55This relationship between these two men
01:19:57has come full circle.
01:20:00The angst and hate
01:20:01that flowed out of both men's pores
01:20:03at WrestleMania,
01:20:04and now they have buried the hatchet
01:20:08here tonight.
01:20:08Hold on a minute, Vince.
01:20:31Class act all the way.
01:20:34And I gotta give Mr. McMahon credit.
01:20:36He was a class act
01:20:37here tonight as well.
01:20:39No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:20:49No, no.
01:20:56No, no, Hogan.
01:21:01From the bottom of my heart,
01:21:03thank you and thank all these Hulkamaniacs
01:21:05for all the memories.
01:21:06That's cool, man.
01:21:09That's real cool.
01:21:12Because quite frankly,
01:21:13that's all you people have is memories.
01:21:16Because you're looking at that man
01:21:18in a wrestling ring
01:21:20for the very last time.
01:21:22What?
01:21:23What is he talking about?
01:21:24No idea.
01:21:25I mean, I told you at WrestleMania.
01:21:28What'd I say?
01:21:29I said, I was gonna kill Hulkamania.
01:21:32Guess what?
01:21:33I have, and you don't even know it.
01:21:37Yeah.
01:21:38You beat me one, two, three.
01:21:41But Mr. McMahon never loses, pal.
01:21:47Oh, yeah.
01:21:49You're on the shelf, Hogan.
01:21:51And let me tell you how it's gonna go down.
01:21:52You see?
01:21:54Vince McMahon is gonna honor your contract.
01:21:57I'm gonna pay you
01:21:58every dollar you've got in your contract.
01:22:01Yes, I am.
01:22:02I'm gonna pay you, Hogan,
01:22:03to stay at home.
01:22:12That's right.
01:22:13I'm gonna deny
01:22:14all these Hulkamaniacs
01:22:16the privilege of ever seeing you
01:22:18ever again.
01:22:19As a billionaire,
01:22:25I don't give a damn
01:22:26what it cost me, Hogan,
01:22:28because
01:22:28you gotta recognize one thing.
01:22:32With you sitting at home
01:22:33during the entire duration
01:22:35of your contract, Hogan,
01:22:37you're gonna rot.
01:22:40Oh, yeah.
01:22:41Hulkamania is gonna rot
01:22:46day by day by day.
01:22:51And your Hulkamaniacs
01:22:53are gonna forget all about you
01:22:54because they're not gonna see you, Hogan.
01:22:56And after it's all said and done
01:23:01and your contract is finally up,
01:23:05you know what?
01:23:06Not only will Hulkamania be dead,
01:23:08Hulkamania would have died
01:23:10a slow,
01:23:12agonizing
01:23:13death
01:23:14of
01:23:15leprosy.
01:23:17And if you don't like
01:23:23what I've said, Hogan,
01:23:24I'm waiting
01:23:26in the parking lot
01:23:27for you.
01:23:29In the parking lot?
01:23:31No chance.
01:23:33McMahon is calling Hulkamani
01:23:34to the parking lot.
01:23:36This McMahon
01:23:37do the whole again, Cole.
01:23:39I can't say I'm surprised.
01:23:40But the last thing
01:23:43this man just said
01:23:44is right at the parking lot.
01:23:46So McMahon is challenging
01:23:47Hulkamani to cover
