00:00:00This contest is a no-disqualification match for the WWE Championship!
00:00:09It's obvious that someone is trying to stop me from living my dream.
00:00:13Edge, I know that you're behind all of this.
00:00:17The risk-taking daredevil cares not if he breaks himself apart.
00:00:22He has crossed the line from which there is no return.
00:00:27Jeff Hardy is purely retribution-focused.
00:00:31Chavo Guerrero trying to intervene.
00:00:35Edge, you can't stop what's inside of me.
00:00:37Chavo Guerrero is about to be the sacrificial lamb here, JR.
00:00:41No regrets, no looking back, I just go.
00:00:48Edge, you'll never stop what drives me.
00:00:53I'm not afraid.
00:00:55Are you?
00:00:57Jeff Hardy willing himself.
00:01:00Chavo, whoa, wait!
00:01:01Ricky Guerrero, the general manager!
00:01:04No disqualification!
00:01:05Look at Hardy!
00:01:07Swat on bomb!
00:01:09And that should do it!
00:01:13Oh, come on!
00:01:16The general manager ended up in the town.
00:01:20Oh, man, Hardy!
00:01:26Jeff's brother, Matt, handing us with our legal weapon.
00:01:34Oh, Hardy's shades of TLC.
00:01:43In Seattle City.
00:01:45Oh, my God!
00:01:48One, two, three!
00:01:53One, two, three!
00:02:17One, two, three!
00:02:20One, two, three!
00:02:45Ladies and gentlemen,
00:02:48Matt Hardy.
00:03:18One, two, three!
00:03:48One, two, three!
00:04:07One, two, three!
00:04:10One, two, three!
00:04:27Finally, I no longer have to share the spotlight with my brother.
00:04:33One, two, three!
00:04:39Tonight is my night.
00:04:42Tonight is my time.
00:04:46And for all of you who are waiting for Jeff to emerge from the darkness,
00:04:54you're going to be waiting a while.
00:04:58Jeff's at home, and Jeff's going to stay at home.
00:05:09I've always been Jeff's big brother.
00:05:12And since day one, I've taken care of him both personally and professionally.
00:05:28You know, it's rather ironic that right around the time Jeff was becoming WWE champion,
00:05:33all these accidents started occurring to him.
00:05:38You know, and some people even go as far as to blame me for these accidents.
00:05:42They have that audacity.
00:05:46But there's no one that can prove I was the guy that attacked Jeff in the stairwell before Survivor Series.
00:05:53No one can prove that I caused the accident when Jeff was run off the road.
00:06:01And no one can prove that I caused the accident that happened when someone tampered with Jeff's power rope.
00:06:10But I'll tell you what you can prove, and what wasn't an accident.
00:06:16And that's what I did to Jeff at the Royal Rumble.
00:06:20And that's what I did to Jeff at the Royal Rumble.
00:06:32With one shot from this exact steel chair that I'm sitting on right now,
00:06:37all the pain and suffering that Jeff put me through for so many years was transferred right back to him.
00:06:46And it felt good.
00:06:49It felt good.
00:06:53You have no idea how much of a burden and responsibility it was to take care of a brother like Jeff,
00:07:00who was nothing more than a constant mistake.
00:07:05Do you know how many nights I was awakened by the phone asking me,
00:07:09Matt, where's Jeff?
00:07:11What's wrong with Jeff?
00:07:13And do you know how many times I had to cover for Jeff?
00:07:16Do you know how many nights Matt had to worry about Jeff?
00:07:20And do you know how many times I had to cover for Jeff?
00:07:22Do you know how many nights Matt had to worry about Jeff?
00:07:34No more.
00:07:36And without me in Jeff's life to be his guiding light, Jeff Hardy won't even be able to survive.
00:07:45He's a psychological wreck.
00:07:48Me? I've never been healthier or happier.
00:07:58And if my survival means Jeff's total destruction, then so be it.
00:08:15But Jeff isn't the only one to blame for the decisions I've been forced to make.
00:08:23It's also each and every one of you.
00:08:34For over 10 years, I've tried to get each and every one of you to like me.
00:08:40I've signed autographs.
00:08:42I've taken pictures.
00:08:44I've done everything in my power to make you happy.
00:08:48But it was never good enough.
00:08:56I've been a role model to kids and adults alike.
00:09:01But all each and every one of you cared about was that you were happy.
00:09:06But all each and every one of you cared about was the irresponsible, self-destructive screw-up known as Jeff Hardy.
00:09:25So from now on, the only person I care about is me.
00:09:36And Jeff, I have one thing to say to you as well.
00:09:49I know you're at home right now and you're watching this.
00:09:55I officially make a decree as of this day.
00:09:59There is no such thing anymore as the Hardy Boys.
00:10:07I no longer consider you my partner.
00:10:13And I no longer consider you my brother.
00:10:37We want Jeff!
00:11:05The WWE Smack of the Night is brought to you by Just For Men.
00:11:09Stay in the game with Just For Men hair color.
00:11:13R-Truth, Dee Brian Kendrick, one-fall match.
00:11:15R-Truth, just amazing, gifted athlete is this young man.
00:11:19It almost seems as if Dee Brian Kendrick is more confident that he knows Big Zeke is around ringside.
00:11:25Boom! Look at this!
00:11:27I think Dee Brian Kendrick just learned a lesson that on this night, he couldn't beat R-Truth one-on-one.
00:11:32Whoa, whoa, wait, wait!
00:11:34Oh, look out! Come on!
00:11:36You thought the storm was over.
00:11:38Ezekiel Jackson, a very devastating human being.
00:11:43That's a whole lot of bad attitude in Ezekiel Jackson.
00:11:48Indianapolis!
00:11:52We about to crank it up!
00:11:56People up in there, what's up?
00:11:58You feel me? Stand up and say, what's up?
00:12:01What's up? What's up?
00:12:03What's up? What's up?
00:12:06You can get with this, or you can get with that.
00:12:09What's up? What's up?
00:12:11What's up? What's up?
00:12:14You can get with this, or you can get with that.
00:12:17You better get with this.
00:12:19What's up? What's up?
00:12:22What's up? What's up?
00:12:25I be skippin' and jumpin', leavin' competition.
00:12:28Make them disappear like a baby bird kissin'.
00:12:30I got that lid on, till the wheel fall off.
00:12:33I'm bouncin' back and forth, till their necks get soft.
00:12:36I'll tell you what's up tonight, ladies and gentlemen,
00:12:38the Undertaker, the Phenom, is the strongest man in the world
00:12:42in a WWE Championship Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
00:12:48Tonight...
00:12:51What's up? What's up?
00:12:53What's up? What's up?
00:12:57People up in there, what's up?
00:12:59You feel me?
00:13:02Indianapolis, Indiana!
00:13:09What's up? What's up?
00:13:12Well, after opening the broadcast with Matt Hardy's remarks,
00:13:16what a refreshing change to hear from our troops.
00:13:20Here from our troops.
00:13:29This Monday, September 14th,
00:13:31we have something for the ring by Insignia Jackson
00:13:33from Dennis, California,
00:13:35weighing 184 pounds,
00:13:37the Brian Kendrick!
00:13:41Jim Ross and Taz, welcome you officially
00:13:43to Friday Night SmackDown.
00:13:45Thanks for being with us, ladies and gentlemen,
00:13:47wherever you may be.
00:13:49We have a good night tonight here on SmackDown
00:13:51because later on we're gonna see a Triple Threat match
00:13:54where the winner goes on to no way out
00:13:57to compete in the Elimination Chamber
00:14:00for the WWE title.
00:14:02Look at this trio.
00:14:10Insignia Jackson, the large, large human being.
00:14:14The wall that is in front of you, Brian Kendrick,
00:14:16will be at ringside for this contest.
00:14:18Certainly, Mr. Jackson is always a...
00:14:23potentially a threat.
00:14:33I don't think Ezekiel Jackson's gonna be a factor
00:14:35right here tonight, JR,
00:14:37because he's got something to look at
00:14:40back in the locker room area.
00:14:42The referee has ejected Ezekiel Jackson
00:14:44apparently from ringside.
00:14:47But we're still gonna have a one-on-one match here.
00:14:49The Brian Kendrick.
00:14:51All truth.
00:14:52Two men that both represented Friday Night SmackDown
00:14:54in the Royal Rumble match this past Sunday in Detroit.
00:15:00Yeah, all truth.
00:15:01All truth was entry 24 in the Royal Rumble match.
00:15:06Lasted 12 minutes.
00:15:07Nice kick by Kendrick.
00:15:08Six seconds.
00:15:09What, what?
00:15:10And Kendrick going for a cover here in the early going.
00:15:13I am amazed at what we heard from Matt Hardy.
00:15:16Decreeing that there now is no such thing
00:15:18as the Hardy Boys,
00:15:19that Matt Hardy is no longer...
00:15:21Does he have a brother?
00:15:24I can't believe it.
00:15:26I've known both Jeff and Matt Hardy
00:15:28for about 10 years,
00:15:29and never in a million years
00:15:31would I have thought this would have happened.
00:15:35I think Matt Hardy summed it up very succinctly
00:15:37when he said that the only person
00:15:39Matt Hardy cares about is Matt Hardy.
00:15:42If Matt Hardy to have the audacity
00:15:44to blame the fans,
00:15:46and Kendrick again pressing the issue.
00:15:52Kendrick restraining R-Truth here.
00:15:55Interesting combination.
00:15:59Yeah, all truth is grounded right now.
00:16:01You know, the Brian Kendrick...
00:16:03I don't remember the...
00:16:04I cannot remember the last time
00:16:06that we saw Kendrick compete
00:16:08without Ezekiel Jackson ringside
00:16:11watching his back.
00:16:12So far, I'm impressed with Kendrick.
00:16:14I've got to admit it.
00:16:18R-Truth trying to build some momentum,
00:16:20and is doing so.
00:16:23And you saw it hurt the two count
00:16:25in this one-fall match
00:16:27as we kick off our first Friday Night SmackDown
00:16:30since the historic Royal Rumble.
00:16:34What a rumble it was, man.
00:16:36Awesome.
00:16:37Awesome.
00:16:42That flying corkscrew forearm
00:16:45of R-Truth.
00:16:46There you go.
00:16:47As is the axe kick.
00:16:50This might be it.
00:16:51Kendrick felt the axe kick before.
00:16:55R-Truth continues to win.
00:17:01R-Truth was able to just focus
00:17:03on the Brian Kendrick
00:17:04because the colossal
00:17:06Ezekiel Jackson was not ringside
00:17:09as a distraction.
00:17:11With a large 300-pound associate,
00:17:14Brian Kendrick is not at ringside.
00:17:16It certainly allows R-Truth
00:17:19the opportunity to focus on one man.
00:17:22Ezekiel Jackson was ejected
00:17:24right at the top of the match,
00:17:25and then B-Brian Kendrick
00:17:27was distracted to defend himself.
00:17:30This was it right here.
00:17:32All over, but the shattered axe kick
00:17:34ring goes to R-Truth.
00:17:40R-Truth is a winner here tonight,
00:17:43and the man that won the WWE Championship
00:17:47at the Royal Rumble is Edge,
00:17:50winning it for the seventh time.
00:17:51And tonight, we will hear for the first time
00:17:54from the new champion.
00:17:58The 25th anniversary of WrestleMania,
00:18:00celebrating 25 years
00:18:02of historic WrestleMania moments.
00:18:06March 31st, 1985,
00:18:08a night where one man's vision
00:18:11gave rise to a worldwide phenomenon.
00:18:14Welcome to WrestleMania!
00:18:21With that now familiar refrain,
00:18:23the world of sports and entertainment
00:18:25changed forever.
00:18:27WWE was thrust into the mainstream
00:18:31with an uncanny combination of brains,
00:18:34brawn, and one all-or-nothing gamble.
00:18:40In the 1980s, WWE superstars,
00:18:43including Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper,
00:18:45were mainstream media icons.
00:18:48All that was needed was a grand stage,
00:18:50a showcase for the greatest entertainment
00:18:53on the planet,
00:18:54emanating from the world's most famous arena,
00:18:57Madison Square Garden.
00:19:00It was called WrestleMania.
00:19:04From the onset, it was a spectacle.
00:19:0625,000 on their feet to greet
00:19:09this unbelievable entourage.
00:19:12Unbelievable, the greatest thing I've ever seen.
00:19:15Ali stepping through the ring ropes
00:19:17to a standing ovation.
00:19:20Oh, I love it, look at this, Jess.
00:19:22This amalgam of athletes and entertainers
00:19:25was something never seen before.
00:19:27What's that was to rock and roll
00:19:29what WrestleMania is to wrestling, Gene?
00:19:33In one magical night,
00:19:35an idea gave rise to a tradition
00:19:37that has been passed on
00:19:39from generation to generation.
00:19:44And for the past 25 years,
00:19:46it's been a homecoming
00:19:48for WWE fans and superstars
00:19:51throughout the world.
00:19:54Welcome to WrestleMania!
00:20:09Currently in the ring, from El Paso, Texas,
00:20:11weighing 215 pounds,
00:20:14Shadow Guerrero!
00:20:18And Vickie's favorite nephew,
00:20:20Chavo Guerrero.
00:20:23His favorite gopher.
00:20:26Your words, not mine.
00:20:29And in Portland, Florida,
00:20:31weighing 249 pounds,
00:20:33Montel Vontavious Porter,
00:20:35MD!
00:20:42MVP looking to continue a
00:20:46once-in-a-one-match winning streak.
00:20:49Hey, what is wrong with that?
00:20:51Swag, it seems, maybe it's coming back.
00:20:54Something else coming back is
00:20:56WrestleMania Fan Access.
00:20:58Tickets will be made available
00:21:00tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
00:21:02down in Houston.
00:21:03All kinds of family-friendly activities,
00:21:05meet your favorite WWE superstars,
00:21:07and the greatest fan interaction of all time.
00:21:11A lot of fun, it's Access.
00:21:13You can test your skills at the trivia station,
00:21:15get into action by competing
00:21:17in the SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 video game.
00:21:20Pretty cool.
00:21:21Speaking of action,
00:21:22we're getting ready to rock and roll.
00:21:25Look at this match,
00:21:26both men having a lot to gain.
00:21:27Nice fireman carry takeover.
00:21:29Certainly MVP,
00:21:30who had a 20-plus match losing streak,
00:21:33broken thanks to Triple H's sledgehammer,
00:21:36quite frankly.
00:21:38And that last man standing match
00:21:39against The Big Show.
00:21:42I gotta say, JR,
00:21:43sometimes it only takes one match,
00:21:45sometimes,
00:21:46to get back on a roll.
00:21:49Well, Chavo Guerrero
00:21:50looking to get on a roll as well,
00:21:53to impress his aunt,
00:21:54who is our general manager,
00:21:56Vickie Guerrero.
00:21:57Chavo, a former ECW champion,
00:22:00would love to hold gold here
00:22:01on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:22:04Chavo's all about competing,
00:22:05all about trying to be the top dog.
00:22:08He was on top there for a moment.
00:22:10Chavo, a third-generation star,
00:22:12first-class deep-arm drag takedown,
00:22:14all on Ricky the Dragon Steamboat.
00:22:16But Chavo Guerrero in Finnish
00:22:18means warrior.
00:22:20So Chavo certainly has displayed
00:22:22the skills of a warrior
00:22:23on many occasions,
00:22:24but this fetching coffee
00:22:26is a little bit beneath his hat.
00:22:28What do you think?
00:22:29I would say that's not really
00:22:30warrior quality,
00:22:32you know, fetching coffee.
00:22:34But, you know, I mean,
00:22:35Chavo's doing what he feels is right
00:22:37for his aunt.
00:22:38He loves his aunt.
00:22:39She's the general manager
00:22:40in his respect.
00:22:41His auntie.
00:22:43My auntie didn't hurt him.
00:22:45I never heard that
00:22:46on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:22:47He set a record.
00:22:49MVP, former United States champion,
00:22:51the longest-reigning
00:22:52United States champion
00:22:53all the way
00:22:55in SmackDown history.
00:22:57And Chavo, that rolling heel kick,
00:22:59struck MVP solidly in the face,
00:23:03got him a near fall out of it.
00:23:05MVP showing a lot of toughness
00:23:07being able to kick out of that
00:23:09is the kick we were just speaking of.
00:23:13Nothing but impact.
00:23:14Boom!
00:23:16Certainly amazing agility and timing
00:23:19to execute an offensive maneuver
00:23:21with that level of effectiveness.
00:23:24And Guerrero certainly has
00:23:26amazing skills.
00:23:28Sure does.
00:23:29And we've talked,
00:23:31well, in the past,
00:23:32we've talked about MVP's confidence
00:23:34and he's, I don't know,
00:23:35but, hey, Chavo Guerrero,
00:23:37he has some of those same qualities.
00:23:39Big night tonight here
00:23:40on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:23:41It's been a tough week
00:23:42around the United States
00:23:44as far as weather's concerned.
00:23:45We're glad that you're with us
00:23:47no matter where you may be.
00:23:48And, man, what a great night
00:23:49you picked to be with us.
00:23:50The Undertaker and Mark Henry
00:23:52in a huge, huge one-on-one
00:23:54elimination match
00:23:56to qualify for the WWE Championship
00:23:58Elimination Chamber at No Way Out.
00:24:01One of the biggest events
00:24:03in the Elimination Chamber
00:24:04at No Way Out.
00:24:05Not to mention that triple threat
00:24:06we talked about with Triple H,
00:24:07the Great Khali,
00:24:08and Vladimir Kozlov.
00:24:10Three men in the ring at one time,
00:24:12but only one can win.
00:24:13Hey, that's a train wreck
00:24:15waiting to happen.
00:24:16Big night here on Friday Night.
00:24:18And will be a big night for MVP
00:24:20if he can win.
00:24:22Nice counter.
00:24:23Chavo used leverage and quickness
00:24:25and technique there
00:24:26to sweep the leg from MVP.
00:24:30MVP has been compared to a lot of people.
00:24:33A little brash at times.
00:24:35Hey, well, I think that's a good thing,
00:24:37personally, being cocky, being brash.
00:24:40That's the way winners conduct themselves.
00:24:44So you would condone
00:24:45Terrell Owens' conduct in a locker room?
00:24:48Just curious.
00:24:49No, I've never been in a locker room
00:24:52with Terrell T.O.
00:24:53So, on the field.
00:24:55Oh, beautiful move.
00:24:58Oh, what suddenness.
00:25:00And that could do for a near fall.
00:25:03Man, what a beautiful overhead throw by MVP.
00:25:06MVP has very quick hips,
00:25:08able to peel off that belly-to-belly suplex.
00:25:13Chavo here, that's impressive.
00:25:15Knee is way out of the top.
00:25:21Chavo with a suplex.
00:25:23And, obviously, thinking of three amigos.
00:25:33And after dos amigos.
00:25:36Two amigos.
00:25:37It was countered by MVP.
00:25:42Chavo not overly popular, obviously,
00:25:45as you can hear this.
00:25:46And look at MVP get up.
00:25:47Well, I think MVP realizes
00:25:49Chavo gets on that top rope,
00:25:51he can peel off any maneuver he wants.
00:25:56High-risk territory.
00:25:57Up there in no-man's land.
00:26:00Something's got to give.
00:26:03I think MVP gave.
00:26:07Chavo looking to give with the offense.
00:26:09With a frog splash!
00:26:12MVP able to avoid that impact
00:26:16with a frog splash.
00:26:21That drive-by kick.
00:26:27Someone got a winner in a row!
00:26:32You've got to talk to this guy.
00:26:34He wins his second match in a row!
00:26:43MVP may be on that roll.
00:26:46Take a look here.
00:26:47That was a beautiful throw,
00:26:50but nothing bigger
00:26:51than avoiding contact sometimes.
00:26:55Chavo up in midair,
00:26:56nowhere to go but down,
00:26:57and then boom!
00:27:04MVP! MVP!
00:27:06After a 20-week losing streak,
00:27:10how's it feel that that's behind you now?
00:27:12Man, you've got two wins in a row, bro!
00:27:15How's it feel? You're on a roll!
00:27:18Once again, Taz,
00:27:20it looks like big things are popping
00:27:22because the cornrow-wearing,
00:27:25self-warfaring,
00:27:27jaw-dropping, bottle-popping
00:27:29modern-day Mack is back!
00:27:34And I want my United States Championship back.
00:27:36And when I get it,
00:27:38once again,
00:27:39I will truly be straight-up
00:27:42ballin'!
00:27:47Sounds like the fans are excited
00:27:50about MVP's declaration.
00:27:52He wants his United States title back.
00:27:55Certainly an amazing athlete.
00:27:57Ladies and gentlemen,
00:27:58speaking of big, super-heavyweight,
00:28:00amazing athletes,
00:28:02got to be talking about Umaga,
00:28:04who returns here tonight.
00:28:06But here's a special look first.
00:28:13This Umaga is an animal of a different kind.
00:28:17He's big, he's nasty, he has no fear.
00:28:21The dangerous savage.
00:28:29This guy is a monster!
00:28:35He's scary. He's just scary.
00:28:41Umaga, he snapped!
00:28:44This is destruction.
00:28:50God, this is a savage.
00:28:52Umaga's a damn hero.
00:28:56That's some more spike right to the throat.
00:29:01Can anything stop Umaga?
00:29:10Coming up next, ladies and gentlemen,
00:29:12the Samoan Bulldozer
00:29:14seeks to dismantle another human being.
00:29:17That's next.
00:29:29And thanks for being with us tonight,
00:29:30ladies and gentlemen,
00:29:31on My Network TV.
00:29:32Of course, we're getting closer to No Way Out
00:29:34and the Illumination Chamber.
00:29:36Well, you know, this year, JR,
00:29:37the World Heavyweight Championship
00:29:39and the WWE title
00:29:40will both be defended in the Illumination Chamber
00:29:43matches at No Way Out.
00:29:44That's pretty cool.
00:29:45You can go to www.com for all the rules
00:29:48and take a close look at this
00:29:49for more information.
00:30:05The Illumination Chamber.
00:30:07Satan's structure.
00:30:10The most punishing structure ever devised.
00:30:24These men are playing Russian roulette
00:30:26with their careers in this environment.
00:30:30That chamber is a cold, heartless structure
00:30:33willing to execute all that energy
00:30:36Six men, but only one can survive.
00:30:51And one has to wonder who will survive tonight
00:30:53when the dead man and the world's strongest man
00:30:57go one-on-one in an elimination match
00:31:00to qualify for the WWE Championship
00:31:03at No Way Out.
00:31:04Plus, it's every man for himself
00:31:06in tonight's triple threat match.
00:31:08Which superstar will head to No Way Out
00:31:10and compete for the WWE title
00:31:12inside the abusive Illumination Chamber?
00:31:15We'll find out later.
00:31:33This time, this is it.
00:31:34One more.
00:31:35Approaching the ring from the Isle of Samoa
00:31:37weighing 350 pounds
00:31:40Umaga!
00:31:44The long-awaited return
00:31:46of the Samoan Bulldozer.
00:31:50An amazingly athletic super heavyweight
00:31:53at 350 pounds.
00:31:58He looks as nasty as always.
00:32:01Big, quick, athletic and mean
00:32:04Umaga in one-on-one competition.
00:32:07We'll be next.
00:32:12Back on Friday Night Smackdown
00:32:13and just awaiting his perhaps victim
00:32:16we'll see is Umaga
00:32:18returning after a long absence
00:32:19here on Friday Night Smackdown.
00:32:24And his opponent from Austin, Georgia
00:32:26weighing 206 pounds
00:32:28Jimmy Umay Yang!
00:32:31Oh, boy.
00:32:32Well, our favorite Asian redneck
00:32:34may be sipping his barbecue sauce
00:32:37through his throat
00:32:38and maybe we'll be surprised
00:32:40and be wrong because
00:32:42Jimmy Wang Yang has great skills and quickness.
00:32:44We all know that.
00:32:45But can he be quick enough
00:32:47and have enough skills
00:32:48to avoid disaster with that man?
00:32:51And one can only assume that Umaga
00:32:54the pent-up anger and frustration
00:32:56after being gone for so long.
00:32:59I don't envy Jimmy Wang Yang.
00:33:05Perfect call for the bell.
00:33:06Certainly Umaga
00:33:08with the abilities to beat any human being
00:33:11in the WWE.
00:33:13Past or present.
00:33:17Reg, it's just an example
00:33:19of the power of this individual.
00:33:21Swinging sidewalk slam
00:33:23with amazing velocity and force.
00:33:26Talk about reckless.
00:33:28Umaga always maintains
00:33:29Taz at wide base.
00:33:31He has amazing balance.
00:33:35Yeah, those are a couple of ingredients
00:33:38that lead to success
00:33:39from an athletic standpoint.
00:33:41But you've got to speak
00:33:42of the intensity issue here.
00:33:44The level of meanness by Umaga.
00:33:48Umaga, that ever-dangerous
00:33:51Samoan spike.
00:33:53You notice that right hand
00:33:54all taped up
00:33:55and especially the thumb.
00:33:57And that has fell many
00:33:58of WWE superstars
00:34:00in some tremendously
00:34:02big-match environments.
00:34:04Jimmy Wang Yang
00:34:05usually having a good time
00:34:06having fun and jumping around.
00:34:09Well, not tonight.
00:34:11He's got a good time.
00:34:13He's got a good time.
00:34:15Well, not tonight.
00:34:17Oh, man!
00:34:18And Jimmy Wang Yang,
00:34:20the Georgia Peach.
00:34:23The peach has got squashed.
00:34:30Jimmy Wang Yang
00:34:32has Umaga, uh-oh,
00:34:34basically advertising
00:34:36what he has on his mind.
00:34:38And that is to destroy
00:34:39Jimmy Wang Yang.
00:34:41Spike city.
00:34:43And for everybody in the
00:34:45SmackDown locker room,
00:34:47Umaga is back
00:34:49and looks to be
00:34:50better than ever.
00:34:58Seems as if the
00:34:59Samoan bulldozer
00:35:01has not missed a step.
00:35:05Take a look at this.
00:35:08Look at the range
00:35:09and the intensity
00:35:12of the disturbing landing
00:35:14by Jimmy Wang Yang.
00:35:20This is an amazing impact.
00:35:23And then the Samoan spike
00:35:25that no athlete in the
00:35:27WWE can endure.
00:35:33Umaga's back.
00:35:35That's not good news
00:35:36for the SmackDown locker room.
00:35:38And two men,
00:35:39ladies and gentlemen,
00:35:40that want to compete
00:35:41their way to No Way Out
00:35:43and compete for the
00:35:44WWE title include
00:35:46the world's strongest man,
00:35:47Mark Henry,
00:35:48and The Phenom,
00:35:50known as The Undertaker.
00:35:52This huge main event
00:35:54is next.
00:36:08For too many bills
00:36:09I say,
00:36:10shoot the bill.
00:36:11But I keep begging
00:36:13again and again.
00:36:38I am undefeated.
00:36:40I demand
00:36:42better competition.
00:37:09I demand
00:37:11better competition.
00:37:38Mark Henry!
00:37:56This is a WWE Championship
00:37:59Elimination Chamber
00:38:00qualifying match
00:38:01in the Central Wolf World.
00:38:03Approaching the ring first
00:38:04from Death Valley,
00:38:05weighing 299 pounds,
00:38:08The Undertaker!
00:38:14What an ovation
00:38:16for the demon of Death Valley.
00:38:18And some of those flames
00:38:20feel good on a frigid night
00:38:22here tonight in Indianapolis.
00:38:24And if there was ever
00:38:25an individual custom made
00:38:27for the Elimination Chamber,
00:38:30in one Oklahoman's opinion,
00:38:33it would be The Undertaker.
00:38:38The Undertaker!
00:38:40The Undertaker!
00:38:42The Undertaker!
00:38:44The Undertaker!
00:38:46The Undertaker!
00:38:48The Undertaker!
00:38:50The Undertaker!
00:38:52The Undertaker!
00:38:54The Undertaker!
00:38:56The Undertaker!
00:38:58The Undertaker!
00:39:00The Undertaker!
00:39:02The Undertaker!
00:39:04The Undertaker!
00:39:07The Undertaker!
00:39:15As many thought
00:39:16that The Undertaker
00:39:17was well on his way
00:39:18to perhaps winning
00:39:19the Royal Rumble match
00:39:21this past Sunday
00:39:22until he was eliminated
00:39:24by The Big Show
00:39:25who had already
00:39:26been eliminated.
00:39:27Yeah, in my opinion
00:39:28I feel the dead man
00:39:29kinda got the short end
00:39:31of the stick to say the least.
00:39:33Undertaker lasted
00:39:3432, 32 minutes and 29 seconds, that alone is just phenomenal.
00:39:40Yeah, you're right JR, I mean Big Show was eliminated and then
00:39:44he kind of pulled the dead man out over the top rope.
00:39:53The Undertaker entered the Royal Rumble match in the 16th position.
00:39:58Eliminated several, several superstars to boot.
00:40:05But now we must move on.
00:40:07And the Undertaker must move on to the strongest man in the world
00:40:12in this qualifying match.
00:40:20And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Tony Atlas
00:40:23from Silsby, Texas, weighing 392 pounds,
00:40:27he is the world's strongest man,
00:40:30he is the world's strongest man,
00:40:33Mark Henry!
00:40:35The world's strongest man could compete in the world's strongest structure.
00:40:41Had no way out.
00:40:43Of course the Elimination Chamber,
00:40:46well, it weighs over 10 tons,
00:40:49comprised of over 2 miles of steel chains.
00:40:52The Elimination Chamber, it is well documented
00:40:55the amount of damage it can do to an athlete's body.
00:40:59I've never, fortunately for me, never competed in an Elimination Chamber.
00:41:03I'm very happy about that.
00:41:09Both these athletes JR, they realize
00:41:12how important this match is right here.
00:41:15Well the key factor in thinking about No Way Out
00:41:18as Mark Henry and the Undertaker set to square off
00:41:21is that inside that Elimination Chamber
00:41:23the WWE Championship will be decided.
00:41:27Edge will be in that Elimination Chamber
00:41:29with five other opponents
00:41:31and we're in the process now of determining
00:41:33who those five other challengers, if you will,
00:41:36are going to be.
00:41:42You don't see that often.
00:41:43If the Undertaker's coming full speed at you,
00:41:46you usually go down.
00:41:47But not if you're the world's strongest man.
00:41:51Mark Henry with a 900-pound deadlift to his credit.
00:41:56Officially recognized as the strongest man in the world
00:42:00and one would think the Undertaker would strike him quickly.
00:42:04May have to perhaps adjust his strategy,
00:42:07time will tell, against a man like Mark Henry.
00:42:12I think Undertaker's smart throwing his hands,
00:42:15which he does so well and so quick
00:42:17which he does so well and so quick
00:42:19and so effective.
00:42:23WWE Hall of Famer, Tony Atlas,
00:42:26accompanying Mark Henry to the ring
00:42:28and is still here at ringside, we must note.
00:42:34And man, a difference-making clothesline.
00:42:37Look at the size of the upper arm.
00:42:39There's nothing small about Mark Henry's calves,
00:42:43his ankles, his wrists.
00:42:46And Henry now striking back against the Undertaker.
00:42:49Mark Henry deceivingly very quick
00:42:52for a large, substantial man.
00:42:55Mark Henry has had the athleticism
00:42:57to dunk a basketball.
00:43:00I'll tell you what, those punches
00:43:01would have knocked a normal man right down.
00:43:07Neither of these two superstars
00:43:10are wanting to give an inch here
00:43:12and both men still looking for that one big opening,
00:43:15that one big advantage.
00:43:18There we go, this may be it here.
00:43:23Undertaker thinking old school.
00:43:26Mark Henry says, school is out.
00:43:36Mark Henry catching the near 300-pound Undertaker
00:43:40in midair.
00:43:43I have to say, I don't believe there was any
00:43:45any superstar on either Raw, SmackDown, ECW's roster
00:43:49that can do what Henry did
00:43:51by catching the Undertaker in midair.
00:43:55Undertaker now having to regroup.
00:44:04Look at this again, this is amazing.
00:44:06This is what I'm speaking of, I mean,
00:44:09close to seven feet tall,
00:44:11300 pounds is the Undertaker,
00:44:13just with ease, Mark Henry
00:44:16snatching the dead man out of the air.
00:44:18And one can only imagine, ladies and gentlemen,
00:44:20the impact on the Undertaker's ribs.
00:44:24Mark Henry, when he snatched the Undertaker in the midair,
00:44:26it didn't go anywhere.
00:44:29And now that slam, and not an ordinary slam.
00:44:34400-pounder, with the elbow to the sternum,
00:44:37the ribs, the ribs, the cover,
00:44:39and after the bear hug, squeezing the ribs.
00:44:42Had to feel like a mid-sized SUV
00:44:44landing on your ribcage.
00:44:47I would suggest maybe full-size.
00:44:49The ones that runs on that premium.
00:44:51Okay, good point.
00:44:53Look at that arm, look at Henry's arm.
00:44:56And Undertaker's head turning a bright red,
00:44:59crimson red, in that track.
00:45:02I mean, that's amazing.
00:45:04There's another guy right there
00:45:05who's got some pretty good-sized arms, too, Tony Atlas.
00:45:07The dead man, Undertaker, needs to try
00:45:09to get to a vertical base
00:45:11to alleviate some of the power of Mark Henry.
00:45:15Undertaker fighting out of the predicament,
00:45:18in typical Undertaker style,
00:45:21and not backing up an inch.
00:45:23But quite frankly, neither is Mark Henry.
00:45:25These two men, punch for punch.
00:45:29Dead man's gonna win this battle.
00:45:31He had a right-handed bounce by the Undertaker,
00:45:34but look at Henry, regroup and retaliate.
00:45:43Uh-oh.
00:45:45Undertaker quickening the pace.
00:45:49Goes airborne, and his strike found its mark
00:45:52near the Undertaker.
00:45:54Very impressive is the dead man, the Undertaker.
00:45:57Tony Atlas trying to distract the Undertaker.
00:46:01And does.
00:46:04But not long enough.
00:46:08Tony Atlas trying to help Mark Henry
00:46:10gain an unfair advantage.
00:46:13And now can the Undertaker
00:46:15put the world's strongest man away?
00:46:17Can the dead man get him up?
00:46:22Well, the answer's yes.
00:46:24That was impressive.
00:46:26I've heard car crashes have made less noise.
00:46:31Undertaker thinking submission.
00:46:34Undertaker thinking tap.
00:46:38Mark Henry's tap.
00:46:45Well, what about this match?
00:46:46What's the result of the submission?
00:46:48The Undertaker!
00:46:51And now the Undertaker is heading to Seattle.
00:46:54He has qualified for the Elimination Chamber match.
00:46:57He has qualified for the Elimination Chamber match.
00:47:00And no way out for the WWE title.
00:47:04Massive victory for The Phenom.
00:47:09Another opportunity at the WWE title.
00:47:12That's the bottom line.
00:47:14Inside the Elimination Chamber,
00:47:16surrounded by ten tons of steel,
00:47:19that man will compete for the WWE title.
00:47:24And there may be literally no way out
00:47:27for the WWE champion.
00:47:30Ladies and gentlemen,
00:47:31speaking of the WWE champion,
00:47:34tonight, for the first time since winning the title,
00:47:37we will hear from Edge.

00:53:00I celebrated my seventh championship win the other night by watching my brand new
00:53:05DVD a decade of decadence which has been number one for three weeks in a row and

00:57:26action adventure comes to life these mirrored gladiators and look what they're putting
00:57:31themselves through here one man stood above them all he's got it oh my god and that's one of the
00:57:40Wrestlemania 21. The Rives of the Rated-R Superstar.
00:57:50The world's largest athlete The Big Show anxiously awaiting his opponent
00:57:54to see if The Big Show can qualify for the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber.
00:58:04This is a WWE Championship Elimination Chamber qualifying match
00:58:09set for one fall approaching the ring weighing 291 pounds Festus.
00:58:16There's your buddy JR Festus.
00:58:25Well this is going to be interesting Festus is a big man you're going to see just
00:58:30exactly how big Festus is when he takes on the 7 foot 400 and 41 pound Big Show
00:58:38in this WWE Championship Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
00:58:44Both of these enormous men have a great opportunity which one will advance we're
00:58:52going to know by the uh by the time this match ends. Here we go bell rings and this
00:58:58strange uh metamorphosis comes over the corvette colossus.
00:59:03This see that oh oh oh god Festus used his strength he actually
00:59:10waistlocked The Big Show until he got that uh DDT. Festus actually lifted Big Show off the ground.
00:59:20Big Show like he's hitting the heavy bag. Let's take a look at this JR he actually Festus actually
00:59:26off the Big Show. Look at that. That Festus like an exclamation point on top of his skull.
00:59:35Festus has yet to recover from the DDT. Oh he might need some time to recover after that giant
00:59:42chop. That will stop a man's heart. I cringe as I sit here at ringside and watch the impact. It's
00:59:49gonna be like a stop sign right across your upper pectoral region.
00:59:54That's your chest by the way. Thank you Mr. Kinesiology.
01:00:06Festus that would have pinned off the Big Show at least momentarily.
01:00:10Got Big Show rocking a bit here.
01:00:12Festus retaliates with a modified DDT of his own. Let's see now if the
01:00:18corn-fed colossus can capitalize. Here we go. Got him near fall.
01:00:25Festus's chest is so red. It's kind of like a strawberry type red. Maybe a Bing cherry.
01:00:33Bing cherry has been used on Friday Night Smackdown and the Big Show manhandling.
01:00:40Right now this might be it for Big Festus. So thinking here that's a big that's a large man.
01:00:46Big Show. Festus's hand just bounced off the canvas.
01:01:03Jesse at ringside showing concern over over Festus and rightfully so. Festus just got his bell rung.
01:01:11Can which one of these men will get an opportunity at the WWE Championship
01:01:16Inside an Elimination Chamber at No Way Out?
01:01:20That big right hand and I'm talking big right hand. A clean straight shot from the Big Show.
01:01:33With a 15-inch fist.
01:01:42I can do Howard Cosell. I can go down goes Festus. Down goes, well down goes Jesse too I think.
01:01:50Jesse getting chokeslammed for simply checking on Festus' well-being.
01:01:57I think Big Show making a statement. It's dancing qualifying for the WWE
01:02:03Championship Elimination Chamber match at No Way Out.
01:02:09In the beginning of the match look at the power and strength of Festus.
01:02:14But Big Show is able to just stop Festus in his tracks and in a deadly right hand massive move.
01:02:20Another look a different angle here. Look at that fist. The size of that fist.
01:02:27I don't care who you are where you're from you're going down and out when that fist hits you in the
01:02:33face. And thanks Jesse for checking on your friend. The results of the Big Show's offensive
01:02:40hauntage everywhere are correct.
01:02:58Well I think everyone is looking forward to John Cena's upcoming actions and including me.
01:03:03Well you know I gotta say I'm surprised to see you around here. I actually thought you gave up
01:03:07and quit. And I wouldn't blame you I mean heck the last time I saw you I had you begging for
01:03:13mercy at my feet just curled up in the fetal position bawling those pretty little green eyes
01:03:18out. And you got exactly what you deserve for provoking me.
01:03:31Wow. Eve Torres has had enough and look at the reaction of Michelle McCool.
01:03:39Ladies and gentlemen it is just about main event time. Who is going to no way out but compete in the
01:03:47elimination chamber for the WWE title. Three men will compete in our main event but only one can
01:03:54advance. That match is next.
01:04:01Welcome back folks to Friday Night Smackdown. I want to thank all of you for joining us
01:04:05this past Sunday at the Royal Rumble. All the ins and outs behind the scenes going on and the
01:04:12photos at www.com. And speaking of thank yous a big thank you goes out to Kevin Rudolph.
01:04:18For Let It Rock. That's that cool song you hear back there the official Royal Rumble theme song.
01:04:23And now the Raw Rebound is brought to you by WWE Mobile. Download Chris Jericho's ringtone at
01:04:33m.wwe.com. My name is Randy Orton. The WWE is in my blood. It is a part of me.
01:04:44Unfortunately something else is a part of me.
01:04:53It's called IED. Intermittent Explosive Disorder. It is a mental condition where the individual when
01:05:07sufficiently provoked suffers a loss of control resulting in outbursts of physical violence.
01:05:22I was not responsible for my actions.
01:05:27Oh my. My therapist can confirm that the WWE knew of my condition but did nothing. Which is why
01:05:46if Stephanie McMahon chooses to fire me tonight I will sue her in World Wrestling Entertainment.
01:05:57You kicked my father in the head last week and you have the nerve to threaten me and this company?
01:06:04I have a legal right to compete at WrestleMania. I won the Royal Rumble.
01:06:09If you fire me here tonight I will sue you. I will file an injunction so that this year there
01:06:16will be no WrestleMania. You think that if I'm fired I won't take each and every one of you down
01:06:29with me? Well you know what? Fire me. Let me sue this company for everything. Cancel WrestleMania.
01:06:39Put these ingrates out of work. Let me hear the words your father was about to say right before I
01:06:49kicked him in the skull. Firing you would be too easy. We've got bigger plans. Here comes the money.
01:07:05Here we go. Here comes the money.
01:07:35Where is he? Come on Randy.
01:08:05On a Friday night in Indianapolis the fans hold their feet to greet the game.
01:08:3555 pounds
01:08:54but in the process eliminated more WWE superstars in the Royal Rumble match than any other man.
01:09:02Triple H lasting just under 15 minutes. 15 minutes that is just amazing.
01:09:22The game will have one chance here tonight to qualify.
01:09:27Well you know what? There's an opportunity for this amazing superstar called Triple H.
01:09:33To get an opportunity at the WWE title? No, he's going to make the most of it.
01:09:43Three men in one match. There can only be one winner and the winner is the first man to score
01:09:49a pin or submission in this upcoming triple threat main event.
01:10:02And of course the winner advances to No Way Out in Seattle
01:10:06to compete for the WWE title inside the Elimination Chamber.
01:10:19Standing at 7 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 420 pounds, The Great Khali.
01:10:31Talk about mammoth. Talk about a whopping size individual. Look at Great Khali.
01:10:39Great Khali has found some I guess newfound popularity. Oh yeah, are you kidding?
01:10:46The Khali kiss cam.
01:10:51WWE female fans lined up outside the arena week in and week out.
01:10:56Just hoping to get a glimpse of The Great Khali. They're lined up out here tonight. They're cold.
01:11:01I'll tell you who's cold is that's Triple H. He's cold. He's getting ready to get real cold here.
01:11:16And we go from India to Russia. And making his way to the ring from Moscow, weighing 302 pounds, Vladimir Kozlov.
01:11:31That's why it's called the World Wrestling Entertainment from everywhere.
01:11:37Look at Kozlov. I've never gone from India to Russia with love or anything now.
01:11:41You're showing your age with that line, but I hear you. I show my age by looking in the mirror.
01:11:47All right, three men looking for one opportunity.
01:11:50Again, the first man to score a pin or submission will win it.
01:11:57The WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match is the destination in Seattle, Washington in about three weeks.
01:12:04Every man for himself in this environment.
01:12:13You got to be, you have to be smart and use some strategy here. I think that's where
01:12:18it's in Triple H's corner. He's favorite in my opinion. Of course he's so clever and crafty.
01:12:24That's a regular assassin. Didn't get that nickname by accident, I can tell you that.
01:12:29And the undefeated Vladimir Kozlov peeled off the game, so the great Khali can get him some.
01:12:39Khali's 7'3". 4'20". I don't know. Don't be confused that Kozlov's helping Triple H.
01:12:50It's every man for himself. This is an interesting language issue here.
01:12:56It's about the same kind of English as I do.
01:13:06That's a lot of foot beating in the face. That is a huge foot, but who's going to qualify?
01:13:12Who's going to advance in this main event? We'll find out when we come back.
01:13:16What a main event here on Friday Night Smackdown. The game, the great Khali who you're seeing here
01:13:31and the undefeated Vladimir Kozlov involved in a Triple Threat Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
01:13:39We'll see who will compete for the WWE title inside that Elimination Chamber at No Way Out.
01:13:45And again, smart strategy by Triple H here. We're on a commercial break. Let's see, watch what
01:13:50happens here now. Triple H is able to get the upper hand or leg, I should say, cork on the leg
01:13:57of the great Khali. Again, trying to knock off that quadricep. Nobody knows about quadriceps.
01:14:02It's Triple H who's come back from two debilitating quadcep foot surgeries to continue a
01:14:09magnificent career. Those careers can end in three seconds. Triple H is definitely battle-tested
01:14:19and right now in a battle from Moscow Mall. Ironically, in the Royal Rumble this past
01:14:27Sunday, it was Triple H who eliminated Vladimir Kozlov over the top rope where both his feet
01:14:34touched the floor, thus eliminating the undefeated Russian hero on Friday Night Smackdown. Kozlov is
01:14:40such an intense, frightening individual, an amazing presence. When, ladies and gentlemen,
01:14:46you meet this man in person, it's just uncomfortable to stand near this person.
01:14:52Clothesline shrags the game. Game not over. I always like to see Kozlov talk to somebody else
01:15:00before I think about saying hello. Well, Kozlov, as we pointed out, JR, for weeks here on Smackdown,
01:15:08was bred to be a champion since he was a young boy in Russia. Kozlov has an opportunity to advance
01:15:12to No Way Out. Nice back breaking by Kozlov. Kozlov's career in Russia has been compared by
01:15:19many insiders to that of Alexander Karellin. Yes, yes. Young fans don't know who Alexander
01:15:24Karellin is. Do yourself a favor, do a Google search. One of the greatest Greco-Roman wrestlers
01:15:30worldwide ever. And the game slips out the back. That's counter. Boom. Perfectly executed DDT.
01:15:41Remember the first man to score a pin or submission in this Triple Threat match,
01:15:45The Great Khali, still on the mat, still reeling on the outside after his leg was worked over by
01:15:52the game. Spot by Triple H to eliminate. Wait a minute. Kozlov catching the game.
01:16:03All the way slam. May do it. Kozlov couldn't get that pin completely executed.
01:16:09And Kozlov is undefeated in singles competition.
01:16:22Kozlov long. A focused full head of steam and the game just one step ahead of the
01:16:29aggressive undefeated Moscow Mauler. Well, that's the thing with Triple H,
01:16:33you cannot hesitate like that. If you hesitate, the game's going to nail you.
01:16:39Game processes so much information. And now the Double A Spinebuster found it smart.
01:16:46The game is building some momentum. But the Great Khali's back in the fray.
01:16:55Just chop the game down to the canvas. And now Khali's got the advantage.
01:17:02Khali's got that Khali Vice. Triple H is caught in the vice.
01:17:06Triple H may have nowhere to go. Khali may be on his way to no way out.
01:17:12Wait a minute. Watch out. Oh, Khali. Battering ram went to the sternum of the Great Khali.
01:17:18I think that battering ram was was intended for Triple H.
01:17:24Kozlov's whole momentum and the game's cerebral assassin abilities.
01:17:32No, wait a minute. No way. That's a double. Triple H somehow served way.
01:17:40With a massive pedigree on the 420 pounder. Triple H did it. Triple H has qualified to the
01:17:55WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match. No way out. The game joins the Big Show,
01:18:03The Undertaker, and now Triple H. We know the WWE Championship is over.
01:18:11And now, old man, is the WWE Championship match inside the Elimination Chamber.
01:18:17And no way out as The Elm is standing up to be something extraordinary.
01:18:22Well, this was the turning point. The match up here. The vice grip by Khali on Triple H.
01:18:27We thought that was the end of Triple H. But then look at the look on Vladimir's face.
01:18:32Telling you that battering ram was meant for Triple H.
01:18:36Like an enraged bull. And it was Kozlov who charged the game. And the game with that pedigree.
01:18:45Putting away the Great Khali. The fans are standing in respect to the gang
01:18:51who's looking for his 13th WWE title. And no way out.
