00:00WWF title. Oh my, Edge and Christian will defend the WWF title.
00:04The tag titles are hanging high above the ring.
00:09Look at that.
00:09These three teams, King, have a lot of history and a lot of bad blood
00:14that's got to be settled tonight.
00:16It's not bringing one, but two steel folding chairs into the ring.
00:33A double chair shot, right to the head of Jeff Hardy.
00:36Edge just knocked Bubba Dudley's legs out.
00:39Chair to the head of Jeff Hardy.
00:41Steel chair in the back of Bubba right somewhere down the road.
00:45Edge and Christian are going to get what's coming to them.
00:48The Dudley boys with the tables.
00:49The Hardys setting up the ladders.
00:51Our champions are enraged.
00:54What are the Hardy boys doing?
00:56Look at this.
00:57Oh no, from 10 feet high.
01:00Bubba right, Christian through a table.
01:02The Dudleys and Hardys sending messages to the tag team champions.
01:07Due to the unfair treatment that we have received at the hands of the Hardys,
01:13we are totally out here to stage a sit down strike.
01:16I have decided to make a decision right now at SummerSlam.
01:21It's going to be Edge and Christian against the Hardys,
01:25against the Dudleys in a TLC match.
01:30Tables and ladders and a chair, oh my.
01:34There will be no pinfalls, there will be no submissions.
01:37This match ends when someone climbs a ladder
01:40and takes the tag title belts in their possession.
01:43Extremely dangerous, this is absolutely unbelievable.
01:47Tables and ladders and broken bodies.
01:50Their bodies, their careers on the line.
01:53Tables, ladders, and chairs, oh my.
01:56Tables, ladders, and chairs, oh my.
01:58Tables, and ladders, and chairs, oh my.
02:03He thinks you know me.
02:05And here we go, ladies and gentlemen, 18,128 have jammed
02:10this beautiful new facility here in Raleigh, North Carolina.
02:14And on the mat, the only contest that they will ever see is here now.
02:18And chairs match for the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championship.
02:23Entering the ring at a combined weight of 462 pounds,
02:28the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champion, Christian Santana.
02:34Well, folks, let's get the real straight here, King.
02:36No pinfalls, no countouts, no disqualifications, and no submissions.
02:40The only way to win the match is to climb the ladder.
02:43And retrieve the tag team belts that are hanging above the ring.
02:50At a combined weight of 566 pounds,
02:54the new team on the ring, the Big League Boys.
02:59Now the boys, the master of the tables.
03:03But they're not gonna be able to reach those tag titles just by standing on tables.
03:06You're right, they're gonna have to master some ladders tonight.
03:10Tables, ladders, and chairs are all legal.
03:13Forget about pinfalls, forget about tags, forget about submissions or countouts.
03:18Forget about disqualifications.
03:20And here come the home powders.
03:22Oh, boy, the Hardy Boys.
03:25Now they're fired up, JR.
03:29Man.
03:30The Hardys from the great state of North Carolina,
03:35just down the road in Cameron.
03:39Finkel didn't even get to make his announcement of the Hardys.
03:42Well, we saw the Hardys, Edge, and Christian, and
03:45the Dudleys get into a brawl earlier tonight on Heat for
03:47our fans that were joining us there.
03:49Now, wait a minute, those chairs belong to Edge and Christian.
03:52What are the Hardys doing with them?
03:54Bubba Ray just caught that steel chair right in the face.
03:57Man, right back to Jeff Hardy.
04:02This is working out great for Edge and Christian.
04:04They brought their chairs in the ring.
04:05They were confiscated by the Hardys, and
04:08now the only ones damaged with those chairs are the Hardys and the Dudleys.
04:11Obviously, the goal here is to incapacitate your opponents to the degree
04:15that a ladder can be set up, the ladder can be climbed.
04:20And those WWF tag team-
04:22Face first into the chair.
04:25Those belts can be pulled down.
04:27It's gonna take a 24-foot ladder to get it done, though, Keith.
04:29Right, Edge and Christian are the masters of chairs.
04:31They're the chairmen of the WWF.
04:33Uh-oh, now they're bringing the ladders.
04:37And here comes Edge bringing a ladder into the ring.
04:40I don't think that ladder will get it done.
04:42I don't think you might be right.
04:44And- No!
04:45And face first right back into that ladder.
04:48The ladder will get that done.
04:49And a DDT by Boomerang on Christian.
04:53WWF tag team titles hanging high above the ring.
04:56This crowd, 18,128 people on tables.
05:01Hey, there they go.
05:03Boomerang going upstairs, looking for those tag team belts.
05:07Boomerang, too heavy to be up that high.
05:10Double powerbomb by Matt and Jeff Hardy on Boomerang Dudley.
05:13Table for the exclamation point.
05:15Wouldn't be fitting for Matt and Jeff Hardy
05:17to walk out of here with the tag team titles.
05:19Growing up just down the road in Cameron, North Carolina.
05:22Well, they're the most adept with those tables.
05:24I'm gonna make a bold prediction here.
05:26I'm gonna pick the Hardys.
05:28And D-Von Dudley got a shot in on Jeff Hardy.
05:33And now here comes Boomerang Dudley.
05:35He's got a shot in on Matt and Jeff Hardy.
05:37He's got a shot in on Jeff Hardy.
05:39And now here comes, there's Christian.
05:41Three men on the ladder.
05:43And look at this!
05:44My God, a double Russian low speed from the ladder.
05:46Down goes all three men.
05:48I don't know how smart that was, Edge.
05:51Well, Christian could come in the back door here
05:53and get up that ladder.
05:55This one would be over.
05:58Christian looking to go upstairs, Boomerang.
06:00Climbing two ladders at once.
06:02Boomerang staggers back up.
06:04And Boomerang with a shot to the kidneys of Christian.
06:06And now Bobo goes upstairs.
06:08There's the tag belts.
06:09Told you, I think they're gonna need bigger ladders.
06:13Oh, my God!
06:15For the love of God, did you see that?
06:17Did I ever!
06:18Oh, my God.
06:20Unfortunately, Christian fell for it.
06:23Bobo Dudley used that, that bull neck,
06:26almost into an atomic drop.
06:30That is unreal.
06:31We see that again.
06:32And just jammed Christian's spine.
06:34Watch how Christian lands.
06:36Oh, man.
06:37I knew he was bending the ankles the way he landed.
06:39That spine got compressed.
06:42Not even gonna say what that could do for him.
06:43Well, never mind.
06:45Jeff Hardy, Jeff Hardy in the excitement here.
06:49Got the ladder set back up, looking to go upstairs.
06:52And Christian, oh, my!
06:54How the hell do you learn to fall from a down ladder
06:56without hurting yourself?
06:57You don't.
06:58Oh, my God.
07:01What happened there?
07:02Looks like a car wreck.
07:06Let me see this again.
07:08Watch the seesaw.
07:10Oh!
07:12I've never seen anything like that.
07:14Pat's gotta be hurt bad.
07:16No doubt about that, King.
07:17No doubt about that.
07:18And now, look.
07:19That's a double chair shot!
07:20Oh!
07:21And to Christian.
07:23I think they're hurt, too.
07:25And this got knocked down by Bobo Dudley.
07:27Oh, my!
07:28Down that ladder right in the face of Jeff Hardy,
07:30who tried to protect himself with that steel chair.
07:34There may not be anything left of anybody
07:36in this match that's over JR.
07:39Now, what's D-Von gonna do?
07:42He can't reach the belts from over there, D-Von.
07:45D-Von knows where he is.
07:47D-Von and Bobo Ray scoops Flynn by Bobo.
07:51Oh, no.
07:52We know what's coming up here, King.
07:53What?
07:54Oh, here it comes!
07:55Oh, my God!
07:57Ha, ha, ha!
07:58Oh, you're too high!
08:01Oh!
08:02Oh!
08:05D-Von sticking his face in Christian Edge's business.
08:08Uh-oh.
08:10You know what they want now?
08:11They want to get low.
08:13D-Von!
08:14They want to get the chairs.
08:15They want ladders.
08:16Now, they want to get the table!
08:19Oh, my!
08:20Bobo feels some work coming on.
08:24Oh!
08:26D-Von and Bobo Ray are in control here.
08:30The Hardys are down and hurt.
08:32I think D-Von forgot the tables are already out there in ringside.
08:36Here they come.
08:37Jeff Hardy under a couple of ladders.
08:41Matt Hardy trying to get back in the ring.
08:43Christian got knocked down again by Bobo as does Matt Hardy.
08:46And here comes D-Von with one of those Dudleyville tables.
08:51Right at this point in time, the safest place to be is under some ladders.
08:55Don't expose yourself to that table!
08:58Uh-oh.
08:59The damn Dudleys are looking for some wood.
09:013!
09:02Oh!
09:03And Christian, his torso, thrown through that table!
09:08D-Von!
09:11He is broken now.
09:1322 pounds!
09:14I mean, they may have done Christian in, but you know what, Darren?
09:17That's not going to win the Dudleys the titles.
09:19They got to climb a ladder.
09:20Being available for the competition, it will.
09:22Until they're trying to eliminate everybody that's standing and breathing.
09:26Well, I think Christian is successfully eliminated, but there's three more to go.
09:31They got three tables to go.
09:34But Dudley's got another table.
09:36Now, wait a minute.
09:38He's got another table.
09:40What are we going to do here?
09:42You're looking at four tables here.
09:46Table!
09:47Get the table!
09:48I've got table for one, table for two.
09:51I've heard of a four corners match, but not a four tables.
09:56What are we going to do here?
09:57These guys are becoming carpenters.
09:59Two tables stacked on top of two tables.
10:01One of the Dudleys.
10:02Oh, no.
10:03And now the Dudleys.
10:05Jeff, it's going to look good for you, son.
10:09And from behind, Kent!
10:12Oh!
10:13Oh, what a shot!
10:14Sounded like a gunshot!
10:15Another shot, right to the cranium of Vova Ray Dudley.
10:18Come on, go down.
10:19There you go.
10:21And Matt Hartley puts the fate of Christian ahead.
10:25But remember, no pinfalls.
10:27He don't want a pinfall.
10:28He wants to get up that ladder.
10:30The North Carolinians are going to be proud.
10:32Wait, what are you going to do?
10:33Matt, just go after the belt.
10:35These Hartleys from Cameron, North Carolina,
10:38look like they've become the tag team champions
10:40in their home state.
10:42Now what?
10:44Oh, no.
10:45This Jeff scares me.
10:46What's he going to do here?
10:48Jeff Hartley will put his life in his hands.
10:50Oh, my God!
10:51Oh, my God!
10:53What are you thinking?
10:54Jeff Hartley leapfrogging over the top turnbuckle
10:57of Vova's ladder.
10:59How can he even get up?
11:00Watch this.
11:01How?
11:0220 feet tall.
11:03Oh, my.
11:04I don't think I've ever seen anything like this
11:06but the WWF.
11:07Look at this.
11:08Unbelievable.
11:09Right in the face of Edge.
11:12Now what?
11:13I'm begging somebody to set the ladder up,
11:15climb up, and go after those title belts.
11:17Oh, look at Edge.
11:18Edge being put between the ladder now.
11:20Oh, watch yourself.
11:22Oh, very dangerous.
11:23Good.
11:24Oh!
11:25Part of your screen.
11:26Look at him.
11:27Look at Jeff Hartley.
11:28He's wearing Christian out with that ladder
11:30on the outside of Jeff Hartley.
11:32Oh, my God!
11:34Oh, my God!
11:36Jeff or Mel Hartley and Christian
11:40getting on the same page,
11:42at least for the blink of an eye.
11:44I cannot believe what I just saw.
11:46He's got to break some ribs.
11:48Christian's got to be...
11:50Christian's got to be...
11:52out of this.
11:53My God, have we ever seen anything
11:55like this in our lives?
11:56I know I haven't.
11:58This is amazing.
11:59Watch this throw.
12:01Oh!
12:03And now it's using Edge's
12:05under-15 partner...
12:06What happened?
12:07...against him.
12:09Oh, look out!
12:10Look outside!
12:11Oh, my God.
12:12Jeff Hartley is over 20 feet
12:14with a level dive.
12:15A death defying leap!
12:16Oh, my God!
12:17Smart talk!
12:18And no way there!
12:19Jeff Hartley's spine
12:21and his back
12:22cracking those tables
12:24from the lower guard to the back.
12:26Three tables broken
12:27and the man's body
12:28broken in half.
12:29That's it for Jeff Hartley.
12:30Matt, you're on your own.
12:34Watch this.
12:36You're right at 20 feet.
12:37Oh!
12:38That's a 20-foot ladder.
12:40By the way,
12:41by the way,
12:42it would be a pain
12:43if he hadn't moved.
12:44Look at that.
12:45Jeff Hartley is...
12:46It looks like he's been
12:47thrown out of a moving vehicle.
12:49And Matt realizes
12:50he's got it going on his own now.
12:52Matt Hardy is by himself here.
12:55And Matt Hardy now
12:56with that big 20-foot ladder
12:57in the ring.
12:59Crashing in bubble ray
13:00on the outside.
13:01Well, I can tell you, J.R.,
13:02at this rate,
13:03Shane McMahon is gonna have some...
13:04He's gonna have some company
13:05in the emergency room
13:06at the nearby hospital.
13:07And O'Reilly,
13:08medical attendant,
13:09is gonna be busy tonight.
13:11I hate to say that,
13:12but it certainly looks that way.
13:14And I almost forgot
13:15about this championship
13:16belt up there.
13:17Look at the height
13:18of this ladder.
13:19Oh, bubble ray
13:20gets green.
13:21Like I said,
13:22that's a 20-foot ladder.
13:25That is a hell-sized
13:26trainer's ladder,
13:2720 feet high.
13:28And they're all going
13:29for him in.
13:30For Edge,
13:31Christian D-Von,
13:32Matt Hardy.
13:33One Hardy,
13:34one Dudley,
13:35and two tag champions.
13:36Uh-oh.
13:37What's Christian got?
13:38He's got Matt.
13:41A reverse DDT.
13:42Look at D-Von.
13:43Ooh.
13:44D-Von and Edge
13:46and Edge.
13:47Everybody's down.
13:49D-Von and Edge down.
13:50Bubble Ray got blasted
13:51outside by that
13:53by that chair.
13:55He don't know where he's at.
13:56He's in La La Land.
13:57Bubble Ray don't know
13:58if he's in North Carolina
13:59or North Dakota.
14:00Jeff Hardy won't wake up
14:01until sometime next week.
14:03He's still laying in between
14:04those tables.
14:05Look at Bubble Ray.
14:06Bubble Ray's got him
14:07tensing up that ladder.
14:08And he's become
14:09the tag team champions.
14:10He's positioning the ladder
14:11right under those title belts.
14:12Bubble Ray's the only
14:13one of the six
14:14in this match
14:15that's vertical.
14:17There you go.
14:18Now you're under.
14:19There he goes.
14:20Bubble Ray's got to be
14:21seeing Double here.
14:22Bubble Ray's up.
14:23The Dudleys are gonna do it.
14:24Over the belt
14:25in the middle.
14:26The Dudleys are gonna do it.
14:27He's 20 feet in the air.
14:28Bubble Ray!
14:29Bubble Ray!
14:30No!
14:31No!
14:32No!
14:33No!
14:34The human body
14:35went 20 feet up
14:36on the ladder
14:37before tables.
14:39He's not far.
14:42This is unbelievable,
14:43JR.
14:44Carnage!
14:45What's this?
14:46I've never seen
14:47carnage like this.
14:48Bubble Ray

15:07You got Bubble Ray
15:08smashed through
15:09four tables.
15:10Man, we're gonna need
15:11more than one
15:12ambulance here.
15:13It's down.
15:14Man, I don't even know
15:15where Matt is.
15:17And here go Magic Christian.
15:18Magic Christian.
15:19Each of them
15:20going on the side
15:21of the ladder.
15:22They're the tag team champions.
15:24Everybody has been
15:25decimated.
15:28And look at them.
15:29What is this?
15:30It's Lena.
15:31It's Lena.
15:32Look at this!
15:33No, Lena!
15:36Magic Christian
15:37are about to
15:38get their belts
15:39and retain their titles.
15:40But Lena came out.
15:42The WWE Women's Champion.
15:44Lena, what are you doing?
15:45Lena beat Hardy Boys.
15:47She's screaming for Matt to go.
15:49Go, Matt!
15:50There's your opportunity, Matt.
15:54You're at home, son.
15:55Go up that ladder.
15:57Get up there.
15:58Get the ladder.
15:59You got 18,128
16:01of your fellow statesmen
16:02screaming for you.
16:04Don't waste time.
16:05Go!
16:06Everybody in Tarheelia
16:07gonna be proud
16:08of the Hardy Boys.
16:09Get up there, Matt.
16:10Get up there, Matt.
16:11You got the doors open.
16:12Oh, look down!
16:13Let's go!
16:14And now you got D-Von.
16:15D-Von.
16:16You got D-Von.
16:18Matt, you got D-Von.
16:19And D-Von.
16:20Oh, my God!
16:21No, no, no, no, no!
16:22Oh, my God!
16:23No!
16:24No!
16:25No!
16:27Now Hardy just went off backwards.
16:29He just went off backwards
16:31over those tables.
16:32I'm afraid Lena couldn't save him from that.
16:35Lena bought the Hardy some time.
16:37Oh, the spear!
16:38Son of a bitch!
16:41Did you see what that did, Ken?
16:42Yeah, I heard what you said there.
16:43I'm sorry about that,
16:44but damn it.
16:46A man shouldn't do that.
16:47I mean...
16:50That could have broken her ribs.
16:51Yeah, or worse.
16:52Watch this.
16:53Look how close it was.
16:54He's got feeling, Ken.
16:55He's touching the bell.
16:56Oh, that's a scare.
16:57Look at this!
16:58Oh, my God!
16:59Watch this spear.
17:00This was sickening.
17:01Look at this.
17:02Look at this coming.
17:03Oh, my God!
17:04He may have...
17:05He may have...
17:06He may have broken her sternum.
17:07I think he knocked her head
17:08right in the back of that ladder.
17:11And now...
17:12Oh, my God, I can't believe it.
17:13Jeff Hardy's back out.
17:14Jeff Hardy's back out.
17:15How's he doing it?
17:16And D-Von is back up.
17:19It's anybody's ballgame.
17:21Who's gonna be the champions?
17:22The Dudleys or the Hardys?
17:25Jeff's got his hand on the titles.
17:27He touches the bell.
17:28He's so close to the promised land.
17:30Jeff is touching the gold.
17:33They're gonna fight for him right here.
17:34He's got him!
17:35No, wait, D-Von's got him.
17:37Wait a minute.
17:38They both got...
17:39Who's gonna be the champion of D-Von?
17:40Oh!
17:41My God, they're hanging.
17:42Now what?
17:43D-Von and Jeff Hardy are hanging.
17:45What the heck?
17:46They're hanging for their lives.
17:47Hard to bow to Reign.
17:48No, no, no!
17:49Oh, no!
17:50D-Von knocked down.
17:52Get the bell, Jeff.
17:53Look at that.
17:54You're pushing.
17:55They're planning.
17:56They're planning.
17:57No!
17:58They know.
17:59Look at that, Jeff.
18:00Right off the...
18:01Right off the ropes.
18:02Like he was a piñata.
18:05Look at that.
18:06Jeff Hardy was left hanging as was D-Von Dudley.
18:09Back to Edge and Christian.
18:11Here comes Edge and Christian.
18:12My God, what an exchange that was.
18:14Everybody's...
18:15Everybody's decimating.
18:16Somebody's got to stop them.
18:17Here comes Jeff.
18:18Oh, Jeff, I think his ankle's broken.
18:20They've got one.
18:21They've got one.
18:22Edge and Christian have done it.
18:26And still tag team champions, Christian and Edge.
18:35Jeff, I think we've seen it all now.
18:37I don't think I've ever seen anything in my life
18:39like we have just witnessed.
18:41Wow.
18:44You've got to love the WWF.
18:47Boy, these six young studs put their careers on the line
18:51for everybody watching around the world here tonight.
18:55And somehow, someway, the biggest crybabies in the match,
18:59Edge and Christian, retain their tag team titles.
19:02Oh, come on.
19:03Give the Devils their due.
19:05Anybody that came out on top in that match
19:07deserves a world of credit.
19:09No matter whether you like them or not,
19:11that was a great match.
19:12Well, good point, King.
19:13You're right about that.
19:15I'm disappointed the Hardys couldn't come home
19:17and win the tag team titles.
19:19Let's go back and see some of this.
19:21This was...
19:22Look at Bubba Ray Dudley.
19:23Oh, my God!
19:26Unreal.
19:28And then D-Von.
19:30D-Von and Jeff Hardy just hanging.
19:32Hanging in there like I said, like two pinatas.
19:34The Dudleys and the Hardys are that close
19:36to becoming the tag team champions.
19:38Watch D-Von when he hits the ground here.
19:40Oh, man, man.
19:44That one is fine.
19:45And now look at Edge and Christian.
19:46They're frantic against Jeff Hardy now.
19:48Like a pinata, they knocked him right down
19:50and they get the prize.
19:52They get the WWF Tag Team Championships.
19:57Unreal.
19:59King, you and I have been to a rodeo or two,
20:01as they say.
20:03I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this.
20:05And this crowd here,
20:07given these six men
20:09a standing ovation,
20:11and rightfully so.
20:13And rightfully so, I can tell you.
20:15What a match.
20:17I love it!
20:18I love it!
20:20And we ain't over yet, folks.
20:24Is he all right?
20:25No.
