00:00:0030 men will be in the Royal Rumble.
00:00:02It's gonna be every man for himself.
00:00:04The only way to be eliminated
00:00:06is to be thrown over the top rope.
00:00:08You got no friends.
00:00:09And both feet touch the ground.
00:00:11No allies in this match.
00:00:12The last man standing gets a first-class ticket
00:00:15to WrestleMania, a title shot
00:00:17against the World Wrestling Federation champion.
00:00:20The stakes cannot be higher.
00:00:2130 men, one prize.
00:00:24Who's going to WrestleMania?
00:00:26Whoo!
00:00:27By God, it's over!
00:00:29By God, it's all about the Royal Rumble!
00:00:32It's all about playing the game!
00:00:35Just in case you've forgotten,
00:00:39let me tell you just who the hell I am.
00:00:42I am the Game!
00:00:46He's back!
00:00:47And I am the guy that tonight
00:00:49officially enters the Royal Rumble.
00:00:52The Game is here to win the Royal Rumble!
00:00:56Now, wait a second.
00:00:57By God, there's The Undertaker.
00:00:58Uh-oh!
00:00:59And Triple H is standing in The Undertaker's yard!
00:01:03What?
00:01:27What?
00:01:28What?
00:01:29What?
00:01:30What?
00:01:31What?
00:01:32What?
00:01:33What?
00:01:34What?
00:01:35What?
00:01:36What?
00:01:37What?
00:01:38What?
00:01:39What?
00:01:40What?
00:01:41What?
00:01:42What?
00:01:43What?
00:01:44What?
00:01:45What?
00:01:46What?
00:01:47What?
00:01:48What?
00:01:49What?
00:01:50What?
00:01:51What?
00:01:52What?
00:01:53What?
00:01:54What?
00:01:55What?
00:01:56Whoa!
00:01:57Look out!
00:01:58And He countered it!
00:02:00He backdropped The Game.
00:02:01Hey, wait a minute!
00:02:02There's The Undertaker with a chair!
00:02:04He got hit with a stunner!
00:02:06No!
00:02:07The Undertaker with that weapon!
00:02:10Serving The Damage in his yard!
00:02:13Will it be his Royal Rumble!
00:02:17What?
00:02:18What?
00:02:21What?
00:02:24Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the Royal Rumble match, and here are the rules.
00:02:39In just a few moments, the superstars who drew numbers one and two, respectively, will
00:02:43enter the ring, and the match will begin.
00:02:45Then, every two minutes thereafter, another superstar will enter the ring based on the
00:02:51numbers that he drew.
00:02:52Now, in this contest, it is every man for himself, and elimination occurs when a superstar
00:02:58is thrown over the top rope, and both feet must touch the floor.
00:03:03The one superstar remaining in this ring after all 30 participants have entered will be the
00:03:10winner, and will meet the undisputed World Wrestling Federation champion at WrestleMania.
00:03:18All right, Howard, it's only an hour match.
00:03:20Grab it up.
00:03:23And here comes number one, apparently.
00:03:26What?
00:03:28Ladies and gentlemen, here is the individual who drew number one, Rapeechi.
00:03:36You know what this means, JR?
00:03:38We may see 29 stink faces tonight.
00:03:42I'm sure that's what Rapeechi has on his mind.
00:03:45He will be hurtling left and right.
00:03:47Is that a new shirt you got on?
00:03:49Well, yeah, as a matter of fact.
00:03:51Never been puked on, JR?
00:03:53Well, one time in the U.S.A. in ninth grade.
00:03:57Oh, please.
00:03:58Rapeechi about somewhere around the 400-pound mark.
00:04:03His weight is from parts unknown.
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:06He's going to be thrown over the top rope.
00:04:08Both feet got to land on the floor.
00:04:09We call that the Shawn Michaels rule.
00:04:12Uh-oh.
00:04:13Look at this.
00:04:14Look at this.
00:04:17Shattered dream production, JR.
00:04:21That brings them back to the page.
00:04:23Introducing the individual that drew number two, Gold Gun.
00:04:31Brings back some eerie memories.
00:04:33There he is.
00:04:35This son of a gun is weird.
00:04:37He is bizarre.
00:04:39Totally different from anybody that I think I've ever been around in this business.
00:04:44Get out.
00:04:45Really?
00:04:46Yeah, really.
00:04:48Oh, man.
00:04:51I can only wonder.
00:04:53I can only shudder to think what this man has been doing
00:04:57since leaving the World Wrestling Federation quite some time ago.
00:05:02That man, what a way to reenter this.
00:05:06The WWF, what a way to reenter competition here.
00:05:09Entering the Royal Rumble.
00:05:11That's one big step.
00:05:13He'd love an Oscar-winning performance tonight,
00:05:17starting out with Markeesian.
00:05:20Well, you know, capping it off by eliminating all 29 other WWF superstars.
00:05:24He'd love to get his hand around that little gold man, the Oscar.
00:05:28Oh, that little gold man.
00:05:33He's still got the moves, JR.
00:05:37Well, he can be described in a lot of ways.
00:05:42But unique, perhaps, is the most correct way I can think of.
00:05:47How did he do this?
00:05:53Markeesian must be thinking,
00:05:55what in Samoa's name am I about to encounter here?
00:06:01And look at Goldust.
00:06:03And Goldust has to be looking at Markeesian's butt and thinking,
00:06:06Lord, I hope I don't encounter that.
00:06:09Oh.
00:06:10I don't know, you know.
00:06:12Goldust a little intimidating in some of his antics.
00:06:16No doubt about that, but don't let the packaging fool you.
00:06:19This guy's a former Intercontinental Champion.
00:06:22And JR, the 2002 Royal Rumble is officially underway.
00:06:28This is Goldust's third Royal Rumble appearance.
00:06:32What?
00:06:34And Rikishi has seen enough here.
00:06:37Now, these two men are gonna start.
00:06:39We'll have our third entrant in about two minutes.
00:06:43Maybe less now.
00:06:44The clock's been running, I suppose.
00:06:46Yeah.
00:06:47Wow, Goldust, peel off on Rikishi
00:06:49and rocking the big man from the island of Samoa.
00:06:53Oh, no!
00:06:54There you go.
00:06:55There you go.
00:06:57And Goldust quickly up.
00:06:58That's one double feature Goldust don't want to see.
00:07:01And Goldust lacing Rikishi with those right hands.
00:07:05Look out!
00:07:06And Goldust...
00:07:07Hey.
00:07:08Goldust, he landed on the apron.
00:07:10He did not go to the...
00:07:11He went to the top, but he didn't go to the floor.
00:07:13Not eliminated.
00:07:14We gotta have both feet touch the floor.
00:07:16Gotta be thrown over to the top rope.
00:07:18I don't need to say that.
00:07:19Howard Finkel said it for about an hour.
00:07:21You know, there's no referee in the ring.
00:07:22There are three officials, by my count here,
00:07:24that are stationed on the outside
00:07:26to make sure that when an athlete is thrown over the top
00:07:29that both feet do touch the floor.
00:07:31As we said, that's the Shawn Michaels rule.
00:07:34And what a hit at the corner in 95.
00:07:37And look at Goldust.
00:07:38Not even one foot.
00:07:39No, exactly right.
00:07:40That was a close call with those bang-bang plays.
00:07:43And Goldust teetering here on the apron.
00:07:46He needs to get back in the ring,
00:07:48or he's not gonna get to the promised land.
00:07:51Now, if he's knocked down off the apron now,
00:07:53he's eliminated, right?
00:07:54He's been thrown over the top rope already.
00:07:57That's the way I see it.
00:08:00Yeah, but sometimes you have both contact lenses
00:08:02in the same eye.
00:08:03Goldust looks to be in great shape.
00:08:05Leaner than the last time we saw him.
00:08:08Countdown to our fans.
00:08:11Number three on his way.
00:08:13Hey!
00:08:15Well, it is the big boss man
00:08:21from just up the road in Cobb County, Georgia.
00:08:25Former Cobb County correctional officer.
00:08:30Goldust has slid on the outside.
00:08:32That's kind of a bad move, leaving Rikishi in there.
00:08:36Goldust took that side to avoid, I think, the boss man.
00:08:39But Goldust is still in this match.
00:08:41Yeah, because he wasn't thrown over the top rope.
00:08:44over the top rope.
00:08:45He was not.
00:08:46No.
00:08:46No.
00:08:48And Goldust, it hangs on there.
00:08:50Oh, my.
00:08:52Rikishi moving that 400 plus around.
00:08:58And now Goldust is not in a, can't be in a comfortable position
00:09:02straddling that top turnbuckle.
00:09:04Rikishi fighting Bossman to get Bossman over.
00:09:08Watch it.
00:09:09Man, did you see that JR?
00:09:11Bossman turned Rikishi inside out.
00:09:15Look at that clothesline.
00:09:17King Goldust straddled that top rope.
00:09:18He may be hurt.
00:09:19Go check on him.
00:09:20Are you hurt?
00:09:21Yeah.
00:09:22And Bossman going downstairs with the right hands.
00:09:25He might just like straddling the top rope.
00:09:29Oh, and now the double team on Rikishi.
00:09:32Remember, the concept here is every man for himself.
00:09:36And now the double team as these two men are straining
00:09:39to get over 400 pounds over the top rope.
00:09:42Oh, boy.
00:09:43That is quite a strain.
00:09:49But Rikishi, Rikishi at 400 pounds.
00:09:53At least.
00:09:54He doesn't want to go over.
00:09:55Rikishi wants to get in that main event at WrestleMania.
00:09:58And then Goldust just nailing the Bossman.
00:10:01As we said, this is supposed to be every man for himself.
00:10:05And I think that's exactly what we're seeing here.
00:10:08Yeah, but I think that they would have been wise to double team Rikishi
00:10:11and try to get rid of him first.
00:10:13Who's next, JR?
00:10:14I have no idea.
00:10:15We'll find out in a second.
00:10:22Uh-oh.
00:10:24Is that Big Bad Bradshaw?
00:10:28And Bradshaw in bed for more.
00:10:32He's playing no favorites, is he?
00:10:34Certainly isn't.
00:10:36Bradshaw now going right for Goldust.
00:10:38Bradshaw coming in here like one of those Texas Bulldogs.
00:10:44Bradshaw snorting and ready to fight here.
00:10:46Man, can you imagine what it would mean to any of the 30 here
00:10:50to be guaranteed a spot in the main event
00:10:53at the biggest sports entertainment spectacular of all time.
00:10:57You know, the Heartbreak Kid said that because he was from Texas,
00:11:00he had-
00:11:01Oh, wait a minute.
00:11:02Oh, this ain't going to be pretty.
00:11:04They can smell good, either.
00:11:06Oh, no!
00:11:07Bossman!
00:11:09He had the ribs.
00:11:10He had the corn.
00:11:12And two pieces of cornbread.
00:11:1428 steak pieces to go, JR!
00:11:18That's going to stain your nose hair.
00:11:20And Bradshaw about to take Goldust over the top.
00:11:23Goldust hanging on like an orangutan.
00:11:27Bossman.
00:11:28Bossman, don't come over here and hurl.
00:11:31Oh!
00:11:32Did you hear that?
00:11:34He's gone!
00:11:35He's gone!
00:11:36Rikishi just eliminated a dead Bossman.
00:11:39Back down to three.
00:11:40Bossman, he can take a shower and disinfect his face.
00:11:45And a Samoan drop by Rikishi on Bradshaw.
00:11:49And look at the wily Goldust.
00:11:51He's strategizing.
00:11:53I was starting to say earlier, Heartbreak Kid picked up the win.
00:11:56I was starting to say earlier, Heartbreak Kid picked the two Texans in this Royal Rumble.
00:12:00The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:12:02But it's not about Bradshaw.
00:12:04He's the one of the biggest Texans in this Rumble.
00:12:07And proud to be a Texan.
00:12:09And Goldust now hammering down.
00:12:11And Bradshaw.
00:12:13Wow!
00:12:14Bradshaw, the powerbomb on the Gold Warrior.
00:12:18Told you this Bradshaw could be reckoned with.
00:12:21Who's next?
00:12:22It's just a personality.
00:12:24Man, Storm's probably too serious for this one.
00:12:27He can win this thing, you know.
00:12:29He's a great athlete.
00:12:31And a hell of a wrestler.
00:12:33The man, the luck of the draw.
00:12:35And who comes out right after you, who's there before you, have a lot to do with it.
00:12:40And Goldust hanging Storm face first on that top turnbuckle.
00:12:44Well, Storm may not be the biggest guy in this Rumble, but he's probably got as much
00:12:48or more stamina than anybody else that'll be in this Rumble.
00:12:50Bradshaw holding on for all he's worth as Rikishi underneath Bradshaw.
00:12:57Trying to power Bradshaw over the top.
00:13:00Lance Storm, certainly in my view, one of the most underrated competitors in the entire WWF.
00:13:09And now Storm trying to hoist Goldust over the top.
00:13:14No pinfalls, no submissions.
00:13:16No pinfalls, no submissions.
00:13:18No count out.
00:13:20And Rikishi.
00:13:22Had really no time in there.
00:13:25Rikishi about to get Bradshaw out of here.
00:13:28You know, Rikishi is so big, this could turn out to be survival of the fattest.
00:13:32I mean, nobody may be able to lift him and get him over that top rope.
00:13:36He's about got...
00:13:38Lance Storm back in.
00:13:40Lance Storm now again getting underneath Goldust.
00:13:43And Rikishi there to help Storm.
00:13:44Goldust.
00:13:46Now he's holding on for what he's got left.
00:13:49And Goldust able to get out of that predicament.
00:13:52Here comes Bradshaw again.
00:13:56And winning this match is a career maker.
00:14:00Could be the main event at WrestleMania.
00:14:03You got that right.
00:14:05Got that hammer.
00:14:07Bradshaw put on the brakes and then lowered the boom on Storm.
00:14:11Storm is here under ten.
00:14:13From our sixth competitor.
00:14:18Six of thirty.
00:14:21What does everybody want?
00:14:23No!
00:14:25From the Tough Enough Show, here comes the lead instructor, Al Snow.
00:14:30And what an opportunity it will be for Al Snow.
00:14:33At this stage of his career.
00:14:35To survive and win the Royal Rumble.
00:14:38For the 18 year veteran.
00:14:40Al Snow is the freshest man alive.
00:14:42Wow!
00:14:44All the way from hell.
00:14:46And Goldust puts the exclamation point on Lance Storm.
00:14:51Go in there, Darryl.
00:14:53You can throw Lance Storm out now.
00:14:55Take a look at this.
00:14:57First that and then boom!
00:14:59Slammer knocker stick.
00:15:01Wow.
00:15:03Lance Storm is like dead weight.
00:15:05Can he pick him up and throw him out?
00:15:06Lance Channing, we want a head at Al Snow.
00:15:10Al Snow and his former mannequin head.
00:15:13I'll chip him to that.
00:15:15I'll get in on that chin but not at Al Snow.
00:15:21Low blow by Storm.
00:15:23That'll slow Bradshaw down for a minute.
00:15:25Goldust and Rikishi.
00:15:27Rikishi came in at number one.
00:15:30And you know, I knew when I saw Rikishi coming in at number one.
00:15:34That don't bode well for him.
00:15:36Just because of the stamina factor.
00:15:38I think the time he'd have to stay in to win this thing.
00:15:40But his weight is going to work so much in his favor.
00:15:43Who's going to be able to lift him and throw him out?
00:15:45It could if Rikishi can pace himself.
00:15:47And thus far that has happened.
00:15:49This match is going to be one hour until we get all 30 of them.
00:15:52Coming out in two minute intervals.
00:15:54There abouts.
00:15:56Look at the flow being traded into the center of the ring.
00:15:59Bradshaw with that low blow.
00:16:01May not have the zing on those punches that he would like.
00:16:03But Al Snow may disagree with that analogy.
00:16:08We're about to have a new entrant.
00:16:11It's the Royal Rumble.
00:16:20It's the War of Billy Gunn.
00:16:22Or Billy.
00:16:24It's Billy.
00:16:26His partner Chuck is in it too.
00:16:30Billy Gunn.
00:16:32Billy Gunn putting in the pace here.
00:16:36Oh!
00:16:37Don't slow the pace down.
00:16:39In a big way.
00:16:40You may need a pacemaker after that.
00:16:47And this is the ring beginning to fill up here a little bit.
00:16:51Nobody can eliminate it in quite a while.
00:16:53Oh and still!
00:16:54I thought Lance Storm was gone.
00:16:56Can't like agility.
00:16:58Hey!
00:17:02Lance Storm and is that Al Snow?
00:17:04Exactly.
00:17:06Al Snow and Lance Storm in the entrant.
00:17:08And both of them fighting to stay alive here.
00:17:12Either one of these guys go to the floor.
00:17:14They've gone over the top rope.
00:17:16Oh!
00:17:17And Al Snow just eliminated Lance Storm.
00:17:20Al Snow leaping back over that top rope.
00:17:23Back to the great white noise for Lance Storm.
00:17:27Whoa!
00:17:28Al Snow the lead instructor on Tough Enough 2.
00:17:31On MTV.
00:17:33And he's about to.
00:17:35He may be tough enough but does he weigh enough?
00:17:39Tough Enough 2 coming at the end of February.
00:17:41Hey!
00:17:42Goldust!
00:17:43Goldust!
00:17:44Goldust!
00:17:46And Bradshaw gets the exit.
00:17:48Goldust stays alive.
00:17:50Bradshaw!
00:17:51Bradshaw can't believe that.
00:17:52Come on Bradshaw.
00:17:53He thought he had Goldust eliminated.
00:17:54Next thing you know somebody from behind.
00:17:56I didn't even see who it was.
00:17:58You know King this is a good environment or it was a good environment for a
00:18:00for a brawler like the Bradshaw.
00:18:02But he's going to fight another night here.
00:18:05And I'm impressed with the resiliency of Rikishi and Goldust thus far.
00:18:11Goldust!
00:18:12Goldust!
00:18:13Goldust!
00:18:14Can you imagine if Rikishi lasted this entire hour and won this thing?
00:18:17They've been talking about that from now on.
00:18:22Oh my.
00:18:24Well I think business is about to pick up here.
00:18:31Because this show belongs to one of the most evil, sinister, uncaring individuals in the history of WWF.
00:18:41And yes you'd better take notice.
00:18:43Because The Undertaker is here to protect his real estate.
00:18:47And it don't look like he's in a very positive mood.
00:18:51You're right.
00:18:52The Undertaker made that clear last week.
00:18:53And if you don't believe it, just ask Triple H.
00:18:55Oh my.
00:18:57What a choke slam.
00:18:58On the belly.
00:18:59That's don't go Steve Austin.
00:19:01You don't play in The Undertaker's yard.
00:19:04Undertaker striking whatever's breathing.
00:19:08Knocked down Alice.
00:19:09No.
00:19:10Goldust is knocked down.
00:19:13Goldust!
00:19:15And Goldust, choke slam.
00:19:17Inside out.
00:19:19Goldust eliminated by the evil Undertaker here.
00:19:23Did you see that?
00:19:24Choke slam out of the ring.
00:19:26With one arm.
00:19:27And the headbutt hits down Alice Snow.
00:19:30And then a right hand on the 400 pound Rikishi.
00:19:37Wait a minute.
00:19:38Look out, Alice Snow!
00:19:40Alice Snow can return to the couple now.
00:19:43Two kids.
00:19:44See you in February, Al.
00:19:46Undertaker has never won a Royal Rumble match.
00:19:50I think he's got a sight set on this one, don't you?
00:19:52Look at that!
00:19:53There it is!
00:19:54The Undertaker is whipping folks.
00:19:57I didn't think that was possible, JR.
00:19:58But look at this.
00:19:59Eliminating folks.
00:20:01Well, wait a minute.
00:20:02That's it.
00:20:04I have to eliminate.
00:20:06You don't need rematch.
00:20:08Or Century 21 to tell you whose yard this belongs to.
00:20:14And I don't think it's for sale.
00:20:16You know what, JR?
00:20:18There's one thing I wouldn't want to be.
00:20:20What's that, Keith?
00:20:21Next.
00:20:23Well, whoever's next has got less than ten seconds to think about it.
00:20:31Who is it?
00:20:34Who's the victim?
00:20:39Oh, no!
00:20:42It's Matt Hardy!
00:20:43Accompanied by Alita!
00:20:45And The Undertaker put a Matt, Jeff and Alita all on the shelf!
00:20:50And Matt Hardy
00:20:52has come to fight The Undertaker!
00:20:54And I think Alita just kissed Matt goodbye!
00:20:58Oh, what a day!
00:21:00Oh, look at the evilness on The Undertaker's face.
00:21:03Alita up low.
00:21:04Oh, my God!
00:21:05Alita caught!
00:21:07Matt Hardy caught!
00:21:08Didn't she learn her lesson the first time, JR?
00:21:11This demon of destruction, The Undertaker!
00:21:14For the 11 years!
00:21:17What in the world?
00:21:19Look out!
00:21:20The pistol feint after the low blow!
00:21:24Alita is not in the Royal Rumble!
00:21:26Well, it looks like she is!
00:21:27The Undertaker did to Alita what he did to Matt!
00:21:31Is this to be allowed?
00:21:33Is Alita in this thing or what?
00:21:34No disqualifications.
00:21:36The three referees on the outside can only stand by and watch this.
00:21:44I can't believe my eyes.
00:21:45I can't believe what I'm watching.
00:21:46Undertaker got that low blow that really slowed him down.
00:21:51Six-ten and a half.
00:21:53Over 300 pounds.
00:21:55And I think he's about to get his wits about him again.
00:21:57And The Undertaker came very, very close
00:22:00in ending the careers of three fine, outstanding young superstars
00:22:05in the Hardys and Alita.
00:22:10And Matt Hardy in a very unenviable situation here.
00:22:14One-on-one with The Undertaker.
00:22:16But to Matt Hardy's credit,
00:22:17he has not shown any fear.
00:22:19He has not shown any intimidation.
00:22:22Well, that could just be chalked up to stupidity.
00:22:27Matt Hardy trying to hoist The Undertaker over.
00:22:34Matt Hardy now trying to get underneath.
00:22:39And The Undertaker, the American Badass,
00:22:42showing why he's called out.
00:22:435, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:22:47Matt Hardy could certainly use some help out here, couldn't he?
00:22:50Yeah, he'd like to get it.
00:22:52Right, he'll do that for himself.
00:22:55But maybe, but maybe Salty.
00:22:57What?
00:22:59Here comes Jeff Hardy.
00:23:01Now, wait a minute.
00:23:03Undertaker brought the suplex mat to the outside.
00:23:05Jeff Hardy blocked that.
00:23:07And now both The Hardys.
00:23:09I got a question.
00:23:10Who picked these numbers?
00:23:11They're drawn randomly.
00:23:13The numbers are drawn randomly.
00:23:15And now, look.
00:23:16What?
00:23:18The Hardys and Lita getting some retribution
00:23:20for their near-career ending injuries.
00:23:23Drag her out of there.
00:23:25She didn't have a number?
00:23:27And look at the reunion of The Hardys.
00:23:29They're back on the same page.
00:23:31Lita's on the same page.
00:23:33No, Lita's off the page.
00:23:35She don't even have a number.
00:23:37She's out here kicking and stomping.
00:23:39Undertaker double pinning.
00:23:41Team Extreme.
00:23:43Manning Jeff Hardy.
00:23:45And you can hear that one all the way down
00:23:47and up in North Carolina.
00:23:49Lita, I think you forgot whose yard you're in.
00:23:55Baddest dog in the yard.
00:23:57And look at Jeff Hardy.
00:23:59He didn't go nowhere.
00:24:01He's still in it.
00:24:03He went over the top, but he didn't go to the floor.
00:24:05Does The Undertaker know that?
00:24:07Maybe not.
00:24:09I think now he got the idea.
00:24:11Twist of fate by Manning Hardy.
00:24:13Jeff Hardy on top.
00:24:15Look out!
00:24:17What a time.
00:24:19And now can The Hardys join forces
00:24:22and eliminate The Undertaker.
00:24:24This would be some earth-shattering news
00:24:26right here, JR.
00:24:28The Hardys got a break on that brawl
00:24:30with consecutive numbers here.
00:24:32And The Hardys with poetry in motion.
00:24:35But The Undertaker caught Jeff
00:24:37and eliminated him.
00:24:39The Undertaker caught Jeff Hardy
00:24:41right there.
00:24:43Well, Matt, you're on your own, kid.
00:24:46Oh, my God.
00:24:48Well, I'm counting on you.
00:24:50Oh, no.
00:24:52Good luck.
00:24:54Last right time.
00:24:56See you later.
00:24:58Can you just imagine
00:25:00what that does to a human being's spine?
00:25:02I'd rather not think about it right now.
00:25:04It could turn your spine into a slinky.
00:25:07Look out!
00:25:09That's it.
00:25:11That's The Undertaker
00:25:13who takes back over his yard.
00:25:15And The Undertaker,
00:25:17he may beat people now
00:25:19one at a time.
00:25:21Yeah, once again,
00:25:23I wouldn't want to be next.
00:25:25Oh, man.
00:25:27What?
00:25:29Wait a minute.
00:25:31No, no.
00:25:33This is the first male
00:25:35Tough Enough winner
00:25:37getting in the Royal Rumble there.
00:25:39You know what, John?
00:25:41Does it have a second hand on it?
00:25:43Yeah, I know what you're saying.
00:25:45What a clock on this one.
00:25:47He's not going to beat the Bushwhacker record, but
00:25:50and Lita's still up on the apron.
00:25:52Lita, what is your problem?
00:25:54The Undertaker did to Matt and Jeff
00:25:56and Jeff Hardy
00:25:58and Matt Hardy.
00:26:00They've both been eliminated.
00:26:02They're back in now.
00:26:04Have we had another random drawing or something?
00:26:06Well, Hardy's just trying to get
00:26:07some retribution from The Undertaker.
00:26:09Don't we have three referees?
00:26:11Get them out of there.
00:26:13But there's no disqualification.
00:26:15The Undertaker and McMahon
00:26:17are the only two legal men here.
00:26:19Right, so get the rest of the men
00:26:21out of the ring.
00:26:23Oh, well, there went Jeff Hardy.
00:26:25Referee, make yourself useful.
00:26:27Try to get Jimmy here tonight.
00:26:29Oh, my God!
00:26:31Oh, my God!
00:26:33McMahon has been pinned
00:26:34by The Undertaker.
00:26:36What?
00:26:38My God, my God, I don't believe it.
00:26:40That is the biggest shocker
00:26:42I've ever seen
00:26:44at the Royal Rumble.
00:26:46What?
00:26:48You heard me right.
00:26:50Let me do it again.
00:26:52What?
00:26:54Maven just illuminated The Undertaker
00:26:56and Maven cannot believe it.
00:26:58Not to say what The Undertaker
00:27:00must be thinking right now.
00:27:02Maybe you don't want to believe it
00:27:04but you may have made
00:27:06the biggest mistake
00:27:08of your young life.
00:27:10The Undertaker in his own yard
00:27:12by a very wrong rookie.
00:27:17And now The Undertaker
00:27:19is going to try to extract
00:27:21some revenge here on Maven.
00:27:23He may extract some teeth first.
00:27:25Maven, the young kid
00:27:27who won the first male
00:27:29tough enough competition
00:27:31this past year,
00:27:32is over the ropes.
00:27:34Let's point that out.
00:27:36And, man, this is bad.
00:27:38I don't think Maven's going to want
00:27:40to continue on in the Royal Rumble
00:27:42anyway when The Undertaker gets to it.
00:27:44He may want to seek
00:27:46professional medical attention.
00:27:48Oh, mighty!
00:27:50Was that the tear
00:27:52or the kid's skull?
00:27:54Oh, God, look at that tear.
00:27:56Look at that tear, King.
00:27:58The savage animal.
00:28:00May have just ended
00:28:02this young kid's career.
00:28:04Look at our cameraman.
00:28:06My God, this is enough.
00:28:08The Undertaker just hit Maven
00:28:10with as violent a chair shot
00:28:12as I have ever seen or ever heard.
00:28:14Why don't you go over there
00:28:16and put a stop to it, JR?
00:28:18Why don't you go ask The Undertaker
00:28:20politely to please stop?
00:28:22You're out, man.
00:28:24Undertaker on a vulture
00:28:26hovering over the mangled body
00:28:27of Maven.
00:28:296, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:28:33I think Maven is...
00:28:35Maven is just...
00:28:37I'm not sure if he's bleeding
00:28:39or what over there.
00:28:41I couldn't see.
00:28:43Well, if he's not,
00:28:45he missed a good opportunity to.
00:28:47Scottie, Scott,
00:28:49are you having a dance out here
00:28:51right now?
00:28:53There ain't no time to be
00:28:55thinking about a worm,
00:28:57unless he sees Scottie
00:28:59doing his thing.
00:29:01Undertaker with a right hand
00:29:03on Scottie Duhati.
00:29:05Now, by God, enough is enough.
00:29:07I don't think Undertaker
00:29:09believes in dancing.
00:29:11And Maven is bleeding
00:29:13thanks to The Undertaker.
00:29:15And The Undertaker throwing
00:29:17Maven over the top,
00:29:19but The Undertaker,
00:29:21he's not in this match
00:29:23officially,
00:29:25and now downstairs.
00:29:27This is sick and vile
00:29:29from one of the most
00:29:31uncaring, sadistic human beings
00:29:33that our good lord
00:29:35ever created.
00:29:37And poor Maven
00:29:39just getting the hell beat out
00:29:41of him after eliminating
00:29:43The Undertaker.
00:29:45He hasn't been thrown
00:29:47over the top rope.
00:29:49He didn't want to attend the
00:29:51Rumble. Scottie Duhati,
00:29:53he's been hammered.
00:29:55Yeah, the thing is,
00:29:57Scottie Duhati is being
00:29:59thrown to the wolves.
00:30:01The Undertaker has just
00:30:03turned absolutely psychotic
00:30:05after being eliminated
00:30:07from his own yard.
00:30:09I think The Undertaker
00:30:11may be looking for an alley
00:30:13to finish this kid off in.
00:30:15One thing not to care about
00:30:17your opposition,
00:30:19but for The Undertaker
00:30:21not to care about the fans
00:30:23that have supported him
00:30:25for about 11 years,
00:30:27and he don't mind
00:30:29getting in there and monster him.
00:30:31Poor Maven,
00:30:33he has absolutely
00:30:35been pulverized.
00:30:37Where are they going now?
00:30:39They're going up there
00:30:41in the concession area.
00:30:43They're going up there
00:30:45in the concession area
00:30:47of the Phillips Arena
00:30:49to pick up their next entrant.
00:30:52We want to keep an update
00:30:54on Maven and The Undertaker
00:30:55too now.
00:30:57Oh, look!
00:30:59He got a little red powder.
00:31:04Let me tell you,
00:31:06this is sad.
00:31:08What The Undertaker has done
00:31:10to this gentleman
00:31:12in this first opportunity
00:31:14in the Royal Rumble.
00:31:16What The Undertaker
00:31:18has done to this kid
00:31:20is absolutely reprehensible.
00:31:22You want some butter on that?
00:31:23Ladies and gentlemen,
00:31:25let me show you
00:31:27what we missed moments ago.
00:31:29Oh, my gosh!
00:31:31He smashed him right through the clamps
00:31:33of that popcorn machine.
00:31:35I realize that.
00:31:38Well, Scotty Juhani
00:31:40has not been eliminated,
00:31:42at least officially eliminated.
00:31:44This is a great opportunity
00:31:46and a big break for the reigning
00:31:48European champion, Christian,
00:31:50who we saw earlier
00:31:51right through Jey.
00:31:53I don't know if Maven's been
00:31:55officially eliminated,
00:31:57but Maven's been eliminated.
00:31:59Oh, look at this arrogance.
00:32:01What?
00:32:02What would you do, Jey?
00:32:04This is time to relax.
00:32:06Well, you know,
00:32:08you've got a big match
00:32:10in about a minute and a half,
00:32:12so what you want to do
00:32:14is get a little rest.
00:32:16There's Scotty Juhani back in.
00:32:18Scotty Juhani and Christian
00:32:19in a way that Maven's
00:32:21going to be physically able
00:32:23to even get back to the ring
00:32:25areas of understatement.
00:32:27Popcorn smelled good, didn't it?
00:32:29A lot of pop right out
00:32:31for Scotty Juhani.
00:32:33Juhani.

00:35:17Juhani.
00:35:19That's a good name.
00:35:20It's Yucky.
00:35:21Oh boy.
00:35:22I used to have a next door neighbor named Chucky.
00:35:24I'm sure you did.
00:35:27Reverse elbow by DDP.
00:35:29Look out!
00:35:30And a knock the neck breaker by Paige on Chucky.
00:35:34Are you going to say his name like that every time you pronounce it now?
00:35:37I don't think so.
00:35:38You mean with total disdain and disgust?
00:35:40Yeah.
00:35:41Like I don't like you?
00:35:42Yeah.
00:35:43Are you going to do that?
00:35:44No.
00:35:45That would not be very entertaining.
00:35:48Chuck or Chucky dumping away at DDP.
00:35:51Three men now.
00:35:52Still not out of it.
00:35:54I think again we can pretty much safely say that Layman is not going to be rejoining the security.
00:36:00Are you just jealous that Chuck is there?
00:36:02How long it is?
00:36:03That's the plan?
00:36:04Natural.
00:36:05Sure.
00:36:06Yeah.
00:36:07Yeah.
00:36:08Natural.
00:36:09And Paige lassoing Chucky and taking Chucky back to the corner.
00:36:18A little teamwork.
00:36:21Inverting or not, I don't know.
00:36:23I don't know if it's teamwork.
00:36:24I don't think Christian really cared who he hit with that hose line.
00:36:27Right.
00:36:30Chucky stomping away at DDP.
00:36:33And these guys all three long shots.
00:36:36All honesty to win the Royal Rumble.
00:36:38But it can't be done.
00:36:40Now they're favorites.
00:36:41They're the only three in the Royal Rumble.
00:36:44Wow.
00:36:45Chucky stomping away at DDP.
00:36:47As is Chucky.
00:36:49Paige trying to hold on as yet another competitor trying to make his way out here.
00:36:55So it looks like if Christian and Chucky were smart they'd turn around and just grab whoever's coming up.
00:37:01Well, wait a minute.
00:37:03JR.
00:37:04Are you ready for this?
00:37:06My new hero.
00:37:08He's got legit.
00:37:11It's the Godfather.
00:37:13The Godfather, new and improved, is back.
00:37:17Where's he going?
00:37:18Come on, Godfather.
00:37:19Don't be afraid of the Royal Rumble.
00:37:21It is said the Godfather has gone legit.
00:37:24Hey.
00:37:25Four ladies.
00:37:26My God, there's one, two, eight of them.
00:37:29Eight of them.
00:37:32Wait a minute.
00:37:34He got him again.
00:37:37JR.
00:37:38I think he just got a new favorite, didn't he?
00:37:40There may be an endless stream of these ladies because Godfather now owns an escort service.
00:37:46There's 12 of them.
00:37:49Well, ladies.
00:37:51JR, don't you know?
00:37:53If you had all the money you'd spend on escort services over the years, you'd be a rich man right now.
00:37:57Now, Godfather may give you a discount.
00:38:00Well, he did give me a coupon earlier.
00:38:04The Godfather.
00:38:05He's got coupons.
00:38:06I talked to him earlier.
00:38:07He's in great shape.
00:38:09And so are those lovely ladies.
00:38:11He's down from about 320 to around 265.
00:38:15Are you talking about wrestling, JR, at a time like this?
00:38:17No, I'm talking about conditioning.
00:38:19I'm talking about the conditioning of those lovely ladies.
00:38:21Well, this is about winning the Royal Rumble.
00:38:23Those are some of the finest women that ever walked the streets of Atlanta.
00:38:26Look at them.
00:38:27Three men.
00:38:28And DDP just got eliminated.
00:38:30Don't go, girls.
00:38:32Yeah.
00:38:33Bring them back.
00:38:34Chucky and Christian just eliminated DDP.
00:38:37No.
00:38:38Hey, that was waving at me.
00:38:39Hello.
00:38:41Can I buy you a car?
00:38:44Again?
00:38:45Come here.
00:38:46How about a condo?
00:38:47Yeah.
00:38:48How about a condo?
00:38:49One on Fort Myers.
00:38:51Come here.
00:38:52Look at this.
00:38:53And Godfather has got 12 of his business associates.
00:38:56Oh, they're fine right there.
00:38:5712 with a blonde hair.
00:38:59Here's how DDP got the shower just moments ago.
00:39:04Give me a coupon, Godfather.
00:39:07And now Chucky turning his attention to Christian,
00:39:10who barely escapes elimination.
00:39:13Imagine what Coupon Night at Godfather's Westport Circus would be like.
00:39:17Godfather with those right hands.
00:39:19He's 6'8".
00:39:21I got another instant already.
00:39:24Godfather was with the ladies for a couple minutes,
00:39:26and here comes that big 300-pound hip-hop impulse.
00:39:31Albert, 6'8", 350.
00:39:33Bad Albert.
00:39:36Hey, can we do a replay on Godfather's entrance?
00:39:42And Albert teeing off on Chucky.
00:39:49Oh, Albert, that great explosive, that big first step.
00:39:53He is an amazing athlete.
00:39:556'8", 350.
00:39:576'8", 350.
00:39:59They are unbelievably strong.
00:40:01Let's get our hair cut like the Godfather.
00:40:04Scissors kick right to the face of the Godfather.
00:40:06I beg your pardon?
00:40:08Let's get our hair cut like the Godfather.
00:40:14And the Godfather may be returning to the ladies,
00:40:17but no, it's Albert who got teed off and eliminated.
00:40:20The Godfather, Chucky, and Christian still remain alive in the Royal Rumble.
00:40:26Look at this!
00:40:27Oh, man!
00:40:29I think the Godfather needs any business partners in esports, sir.
00:40:32That's the business I always wanted to be in.
00:40:35You're willing to invest?
00:40:36Oh, I've already invested many times.
00:40:40Look out!
00:40:41Oh, not fun.
00:40:44Oh, that's a train.
00:40:46It's a train about to leave the tracks.
00:40:50Whoa!
00:40:51Oh!
00:40:52Oh, no!
00:40:53And the Mothwoman headed for Hooterville.
00:40:55Look at this!
00:40:56And a double team.
00:40:58It took two.
00:40:59But Christian and Chucky got it done.
00:41:01Okay.
00:41:02The fans are not very pleased that the Godfather has been eliminated.
00:41:05And now these girls come get your boss.
00:41:09Let's get your boss back.
00:41:10You're in esports, aren't you?
00:41:12Great to see the Godfather back.
00:41:18It's Perry Saturn!
00:41:19Perry Saturn, the former Army Ranger.
00:41:23Now the Illustrated Man.
00:41:25Look at these tattoos!
00:41:26And Saturn, very, very unorthodox.
00:41:31Very unusual is this man.
00:41:33Look at him, unusual.
00:41:34Look at those trunks he's wearing from Elsie the Cow.
00:41:38Have a private conversation with me, you know what I mean.
00:41:41Got milk, JR?
00:41:43Beg your pardon?
00:41:44Got milk?
00:41:45Look at his trunks!
00:41:46Look at his trunks!
00:41:48God!
00:41:49God!
00:41:50Now look at Saturn and Chucky hammering each other with those right hands.
00:41:58I know, King, you hate to see the Godfather leave, but-
00:42:01Well, I just wanted to be escorted by an escort service girl.
00:42:04Man, look at Saturn taking down Christian and making no bones about it.
00:42:07Christian was gonna go down.
00:42:09Christian didn't want it, but he got it.
00:42:11And Chucky and Christian have kind of been on the same page here.
00:42:16What are you playing?
00:42:18Well, it's supposed to be every man for himself.
00:42:20Don't ask, don't tell.
00:42:26Look at Perry Saturn here.
00:42:28And now Christian trying to get Chucky over.
00:42:34Got him deep in the crotch there, trying to get him over the top.
00:42:37While Christian and Chucky make strange-
00:42:39What are you referring to?
00:42:40What?
00:42:42Look at Perry Saturn here.
00:42:44Look at Perry Saturn!
00:42:46Saturn, that modified suplex taking down Chucky.
00:42:49Perry Saturn, you know, he doesn't look all that big,
00:42:51but his strength is deceptive and strong.
00:42:55He is, and he has a low center of gravity.
00:42:57It makes it kind of hard to handle.
00:42:59It's hard to get underneath him.
00:43:00Christian's still in this thing.
00:43:02Like we said, Saturn, a former Army Ranger.
00:43:04He knows what it's like to survive in unique environments.
00:43:08You can say what you want to about Chucky Colombo, but that guy's tough.
00:43:12You're absolutely right about that.
00:43:15Who's next?
00:43:18Oh my God!
00:43:20Are you ready for some rattlesnake?
00:43:24What?
00:43:26He's the only three-time winner of the Royal Rumble in WWF history.
00:43:31What?
00:43:32And remember, the winner goes to WrestleMania to meet the undisputed WWF champion.
00:43:39What?
00:43:41Hell, I think a can of whoop-ass is about to be opened.
00:43:44And Austin, oh man.
00:43:45Austin coming here to fight and raise some hell.
00:43:50And this is crowd.
00:43:51Over 16,000.
00:43:53Uh-oh.
00:43:54Settling out the village arena.
00:43:58Watch it, Christian.
00:43:59Christian gone.
00:44:05Stunner!
00:44:06Stunner is stunned.
00:44:08Knocked down on Chucky.
00:44:10Austin is on fire.
00:44:13Goodbye, Chunk.
00:44:14Good night, sweet prince.
00:44:16He's over the top.
00:44:18Stunner back on him.
00:44:22And the Rattlesnake didn't waste any time establishing who's the man to beat now in the Royal Rumble.
00:44:29Stone Cold Steve Austin waving goodbye to Perry Sandler with two feet fingers.
00:44:34Hey, wait!
00:44:35Austin looking at that watch.
00:44:37I guess he said, I got a little time left.
00:44:39Yeah.
00:44:40I'll just beat your ass twice.
00:44:42Right.
00:44:45There he goes.
00:44:46He did it.
00:44:48And Christian, he just got manhandled.
00:44:51What time is it?
00:44:52I'm waiting, Chunk.
00:44:54Still got more time.
00:44:55Don't leave, Chunk.
00:44:57There's something in your future.
00:45:00It's a stunner.
00:45:02But your future ain't exactly what it used to be.
00:45:05He's taking time.
00:45:07He's not even wearing a watch to get that much.
00:45:11He wears a body clock.
00:45:14Austin, a greetings and salutations to Chucky.
00:45:17And the Rattlesnake has done his work.
00:45:20He has eliminated every man in the ring.
00:45:23And now awaits the next one.
00:45:26What does Rock say, JR?
00:45:28That is what it says.
00:45:30It's time.
00:45:317, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:45:44And the returning Val Venis.
00:45:49And it's Val Venis looking in magnificent condition.
00:45:54Well, good news, Val.
00:45:56You're back.
00:45:57But the bad news is, look who's in the ring waiting for you.
00:46:01Val Venis, I'll say this for him.
00:46:03Maybe he should be, but he won't be intimidated by Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:46:08Val Venis, a former European and Intercontinental Champion
00:46:12in his fourth Royal Rumble.
00:46:14And the lady's gonna take a shine to old Val.
00:46:17Yeah, but I'm afraid the Rattlesnake ain't gonna be impressed
00:46:19by all of these gyrations from Val Venis.
00:46:22No, this ain't the dating game.
00:46:25What's your wife say?
00:46:26Tick-tock, tick-tock.
00:46:28And the clock is running.
00:46:30Stone Cold about to make short work of Val Venis.
00:46:33And Val Venis, man, this is crazy.
00:46:36We talk about dumping a mud hole in somebody and walking it dry.
00:46:43They're getting a big what?
00:46:45King, as you said tonight on heat, some men have to win this match.
00:46:51For some men in their own minds, in their own psyche,
00:46:54deep down in their hearts, they have to win this match.
00:46:57This is a must-win match.
00:46:59And Austin is one of those.
00:47:00Right.
00:47:02Val Venis showing no fear or intimidation of the Vaunted Texas Rattlesnake.
00:47:07But I think this was a must-win match for The Undertaker.
00:47:11And look what happened to him.
00:47:12He got eliminated by Maven.
00:47:14Undertaker may never live that down.
00:47:17And Maven may never recover from that beating that he received from The Undertaker.
00:47:22I got some big news for you and Maven.
00:47:24Undertaker ain't through with him by a long shot.
00:47:26Undertaker will never forget that young man.
00:47:28I'm afraid you're probably right on that one.
00:47:30I would think that every time Undertaker gets within arm's reach of Maven,
00:47:33something bad is gonna happen to that boy.
00:47:36Arm chopped by Val Venis.
00:47:38With a lift as pressed, hammering down on Val.
00:47:42Who is it?
00:47:44Yes!
00:47:46Test has immunity from winning the Immunity Battle Royale
00:47:50back at Survivor Series in November.
00:47:52But he can still be eliminated in this match.
00:47:54Oh!
00:47:55Val Venis going over the top.
00:47:57Both feet touching the floor.
00:47:58And a man with a feather in Test's cap.
00:48:01If he had one, could be the man that eliminates Austin from the Royal Rumble.
00:48:05I've seen him wear a cap before.
00:48:07But he had that immunity from being fired.
00:48:09But is he immune from Rattlesnake Venom?
00:48:13I don't know if there's any antidote for that.
00:48:19There may be. I haven't seen it yet.
00:48:21And now Val Venis and Test.
00:48:23Test and Val Venis together could create the antidote, couldn't they?
00:48:28I mean, let's give the devil a due.
00:48:29The Rattlesnake, there ain't nobody like him.
00:48:32But one man against the likes of Test and Val Venis,
00:48:35that's a tall hill to climb.
00:48:37I'll tell you what, King.
00:48:38Since the Survivor Series in November,
00:48:40Test has been on fire from where I sit.
00:48:43He has gained momentum.
00:48:45Has won match after match.
00:48:47Almost 6'8".
00:48:49280, 285.
00:48:51And he and Val Venis are taking their liberties
00:48:54on that Texas Rattlesnake right now.
00:48:57They don't seem to be in any hurry either.
00:48:58It's like, if I were these two guys,
00:49:00I'd try to hurry up and eliminate Austin
00:49:03before that next entrant comes down the line.
00:49:06Austin being physically dissected.
00:49:07So the Cuss Back will look, brought into the dance.
00:49:10That's those good old right hands.
00:49:15He missed! He missed Austin!
00:49:17Austin dodged the bullet, but Val didn't.
00:49:20Test, big boot, right in the face.
00:49:22Austin, full head of steam.
00:49:24Val Venis is gone.
00:49:27The Stunner on, on Test.
00:49:29And Austin is a stunning machine here tonight.
00:49:32I'm afraid Test may be gone!
00:49:35Stunner, an elimination.
00:49:37And Austin again finds himself
00:49:39commandeering this very ring.
00:49:44He's the man, he's the man in the Rumble right now.
00:49:46And look at that smile on the face of Austin.
00:49:48He's still checking his, his tape wristwatch.
00:49:51Wait a minute, I think it stopped running.
00:49:53Again, Austin the only man to win this
00:49:55Royal Rumble match three times
00:49:59in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.
00:50:02And it's a must win for him tonight.
00:50:04He must win this thing four times.
00:50:06Four, three, two, one.
00:50:15Oh my God.
00:50:17Speaking of must wins.
00:50:19Oh my God, JR!
00:50:27Is even The Rattler think ready for this?
00:50:32Oh my God!
00:50:38And this is an invasion!
00:50:40That is a man!
00:50:42Now, without a doubt,
00:50:43you've known him for eight months.
00:50:45Yes, boss.
00:50:46It takes a young propagandist
00:50:47what's last night.
00:50:49And Austin knows
00:50:50this ain't gonna be pretty.
00:50:52Because the game is a spot.
00:50:56On winning the Royal Rumble
00:50:57at the Texas Rattlesnake.
00:50:59Both men have got to have
00:51:01both men,
00:51:02down deep in their souls,
00:51:04have got to have
00:51:05a victory here tonight.
00:51:07The only one can win.
00:51:10Oh my God, look at Triple H.
00:51:14He's in as impressive a spectrum
00:51:16as I've ever seen in wrestling.
00:51:21And look at,
00:51:22Austin and The Game
00:51:24have locked eyes.
00:51:25They know what awaits them.
00:51:32The winner goes to WrestleMania.
00:51:35And we're still about
00:51:36eight guys away from our 30.
00:51:43Both men are driven.
00:51:45Both men are proud.
00:51:47Both men constantly
00:51:48shoot to The Game.
00:51:52And The Game
00:51:53has got to win.
00:51:55It is game time.
00:51:57In his mind,
00:51:58there are a bunch of
00:51:59hellacious rehabilitations.
00:52:01They have torn pockets of muscle
00:52:03that were torn completely
00:52:04from the tension.
00:52:05The force,
00:52:06the storm of the gut
00:52:07continues to make.
00:52:10JR, can you feel this tension?
00:52:12You're damn right.
00:52:13You can cut it with a knife.
00:52:14I love it.
00:52:15This is what the WWF
00:52:17is all about.
00:52:18The raw emotion
00:52:20of two great gladiators
00:52:22about to lock up
00:52:24and see who's the better man.
00:52:26Who's the better man
00:52:27in this Royal Rumble?
00:52:29Triple H, very tentative.
00:52:31He's not going to rush
00:52:32into anything.
00:52:40And has business picked up
00:52:42here tonight
00:52:43in Atlanta.
00:52:47What is Triple H saying
00:52:48to Stone Cold Steve Austin?
00:52:51No love lost here,
00:52:52we all know.
00:52:53But there is a great deal
00:52:54of respect in mind
00:52:55for you
00:52:56that these men have
00:52:57for each other.
00:52:59I'll tell you one thing,
00:53:00you ain't going to talk
00:53:01to each other
00:53:02over the top rope.
00:53:03Here we go.
00:53:04Montana Triple H
00:53:05with the right hand.
00:53:08Old man looking
00:53:09pale in the blink.
00:53:10It's Austin now
00:53:11with the upper hand
00:53:12on Triple H.
00:53:13But Triple H
00:53:14fights right back down
00:53:15the corner.
00:53:16Triple H with a vengeance
00:53:17with his hard right hand
00:53:18putting their mark
00:53:19on the Texas Rattlesnake.
00:53:21The body threatening
00:53:22Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:53:25Stand back!
00:53:26There's a hurricane
00:53:27coming through.
00:53:29I don't like this weather
00:53:30report for young
00:53:31Hurricane Hill.
00:53:33Well, you know what?
00:53:34Let me just say this, JR.
00:53:37If Hurricane Hill
00:53:38gets in the ring
00:53:40and finds his time
00:53:42and lets Triple H
00:53:43in an air collision
00:53:44with Austin
00:53:45and Triple H
00:53:46are both down.
00:53:47If he lets Triple H
00:53:48and the Rattlesnake
00:53:49just battle it out
00:53:50and stand idly by
00:53:51over the corner.
00:53:52I think I've made my way
00:53:53to the nearest phone booth.
00:53:54Wait a minute.
00:53:55Does Hurricane think
00:53:56that he knocked
00:53:57these two guys down?
00:53:59I don't know what
00:54:00Hurricane's thinking.
00:54:01I don't know what
00:54:02superheroes think
00:54:03these days, quite frankly.
00:54:05That's a long way
00:54:06from an Oklahoma
00:54:07with a black head,
00:54:08I tell you.
00:54:09Wait a minute.
00:54:11I mean, Hurricane
00:54:12must think he's
00:54:13the Undertaker.
00:54:14No.
00:54:16Look at Austin
00:54:17and Triple H saying,
00:54:18are you believing this?
00:54:20Wait a minute!
00:54:21He's lying!
00:54:22Oh, he had his cape on.
00:54:23Of course he's gonna fly.
00:54:24And
00:54:25Austin and Triple H
00:54:26now eliminate
00:54:27Hurricane
00:54:28and go back to work
00:54:29and beat the hell
00:54:30out of each other.
00:54:31I told you Hurricane
00:54:32shouldn't have stood
00:54:33eyes-to-glass for a while.
00:54:34This thing may come down,
00:54:35King,
00:54:36to where Austin
00:54:37and Triple H
00:54:38eliminate every other man
00:54:39that comes out here
00:54:40and let it come down
00:54:41to just those
00:54:42two gladiators.
00:54:43That's a very good
00:54:44possibility.
00:54:46But how's any one man
00:54:47gonna eliminate
00:54:48both Stone Cold
00:54:49Steve Austin
00:54:50and Triple H?
00:54:53I don't know
00:54:54if it's possible.
00:54:55You're right.
00:54:56That looked like
00:54:57their mentality.
00:54:58And if Triple H
00:54:59can't open
00:55:00to thunderous right hands
00:55:01that have been
00:55:02Austin over in pain
00:55:03just moments ago.
00:55:06The spine on the pine
00:55:07by The Rattlesnake.
00:55:09Who's next?
00:55:13Oh!
00:55:16It's Baruch
00:55:17of the APA.
00:55:20And Baruch
00:55:21is another one
00:55:22that's as tough as they come.
00:55:23He'll not walk away
00:55:24from this
00:55:25or any fight,
00:55:26I'll tell you.
00:55:28And what will this mean
00:55:29for Baruch's career
00:55:30to win the Royal Rumble?
00:55:31If I were Baruch,
00:55:32I think I would have
00:55:33picked one of these guys
00:55:34to try to buddy up with
00:55:35and make an ally
00:55:36instead of making
00:55:37two enemies right off the bat.
00:55:38Trying to pick Austin
00:55:39over the top.
00:55:40Here comes Triple H.
00:55:42Retaliation on Baruch.
00:55:44Baruch is still threshold.
00:55:48Oh!
00:55:50Baruch off the stutter.
00:55:52And then Triple H
00:55:53in front of his clothesline.
00:55:55And out goes Baruch
00:55:56and Austin
00:55:57and Triple H again
00:55:59directly or indirectly
00:56:00have eliminated
00:56:01the opposition
00:56:02and gone right back
00:56:03to work
00:56:04at beating the hell
00:56:05out of each other.
00:56:06They are.
00:56:07The gutter holds well
00:56:08for the rest of the entrance
00:56:09to the Royal Rumble.
00:56:10These two men team up.
00:56:11They just
00:56:12put their business,
00:56:13their personal business
00:56:14on pause for a second.
00:56:15They team up,
00:56:16beat the heck out of you,
00:56:17throw you out of the ring
00:56:18and then they go back
00:56:19to fighting each other
00:56:20tooth and nail.
00:56:21Folks, if you had
00:56:22Triple H or Austin
00:56:23in your office pool,
00:56:24I think you're gonna win.
00:56:27Unless they just
00:56:28beat each other down
00:56:30and hammer each other
00:56:31so much
00:56:32there's nothing left of them.
00:56:33Don't underestimate
00:56:34some of the other
00:56:35WWE superstars
00:56:36that are still left
00:56:37to enter this Rumble.
00:56:38I don't intend
00:56:39to misrepresent
00:56:40that statement, King,
00:56:41or underestimate
00:56:42those guys,
00:56:43but, I mean,
00:56:44Triple H and Austin
00:56:45it's almost as if
00:56:46they want it just to be
00:56:47between those two men.
00:56:48Well, some very,
00:56:49very big names
00:56:50and I won't mention them
00:56:51that we have not seen yet.
00:56:56Man.
00:56:57Ow.
00:56:58Numb the eye by Triple H
00:56:59taking down Austin
00:57:00as Austin was trying to
00:57:01elevate the game
00:57:02over that top rope.
00:57:04Here we go again.
00:57:06It's Fast and Furious.
00:57:07The most intense
00:57:0860 minutes
00:57:09in sports entertainment.
00:57:11What'd I tell you, Joe?
00:57:13Here's still the big name
00:57:14appearing this year
00:57:15in Royal Rumble.
00:57:16And here's one of the biggest
00:57:17in the lore
00:57:18of the WWE
00:57:19Mr. Perfect.
00:57:21And if he's perfect tonight
00:57:22he'll win this Royal Rumble.
00:57:25And he may have to be perfect
00:57:27to win this Royal Rumble.
00:57:30Former Intercontinental Champion
00:57:32Triple H,
00:57:33Triple H,
00:57:34Triple H,
00:57:35Triple H,

00:57:38Triple H,
00:57:39Former Intercontinental Champion
00:57:44Austin taking down the game
00:57:46and Perfect
00:57:47a very savvy wrestler
00:57:49is taking his time.
00:57:51Why should he hurry
00:57:52to get to the ring
00:57:53if Austin
00:57:54and Triple H
00:57:55are still just
00:57:56hammering each other?
00:57:57Exactly.
00:57:58A very, very wise man
00:57:59Mr. Perfect.
00:58:01Always has been.
00:58:02He'll find his time.
00:58:04Oh, look at this.
00:58:05Perfect made his first
00:58:06Rumble appearance
00:58:07in 93
00:58:08and he's going right
00:58:09for the Rattlesnake.
00:58:11Perfect seems to be
00:58:12in great condition.
00:58:13No doubt about that.
00:58:14And now
00:58:15Triple H
00:58:16is completely
00:58:17Perfect's knocking down
00:58:18the game with a big right hand.
00:58:19I told you
00:58:20don't underestimate
00:58:21the rest of these superstars
00:58:22that haven't yet entered.
00:58:23And remember now
00:58:24the luck of the draw
00:58:25really is
00:58:26coming into play
00:58:27as they're coming down
00:58:28the home stretch here.
00:58:29Another right hand
00:58:30by Perfect.
00:58:31And what a way
00:58:32to come back
00:58:33and rejoin the WWE
00:58:34by winning
00:58:35the Royal Rumble.
00:58:37After being
00:58:38mired in almost
00:58:39obscurity
00:58:40since leaving the
00:58:41WWF
00:58:42Perfect is back
00:58:43in perfect condition
00:58:44and prepared to win
00:58:45the Royal Rumble.
00:58:47And can you imagine
00:58:48that comeback
00:58:49when the Royal Rumble
00:58:50goes straight to
00:58:51WrestleMania?
00:58:52Man, that is a
00:58:53storybook situation
00:58:54for Kurt Hennig
00:58:55Mr. Perfect
00:58:56or anybody.
00:58:57And now that
00:58:58downstairs goes
00:58:59into the game
00:59:00Austin trying to grab
00:59:01a leg.
00:59:02Look at Kurt Hennig.
00:59:03Good time to get rid
00:59:04of that gum.
00:59:06Kurt Hennig got
00:59:07Austin wrapping
00:59:08around the neck
00:59:09and holding on.
00:59:11He's going down
00:59:12for the third time.
00:59:18Hennig!
00:59:21Oh boy!
00:59:22And here comes

01:00:06what?
01:00:07After every time
01:00:08you've asked me
01:00:09or said anything.
01:00:10Well that would be
01:00:11very disconcerting.
01:00:12Right.
01:00:13I'll ask these people
01:00:14to quit.

01:01:57Man, what a choke
01:01:58slam on Pertman.
01:01:59Well, he was perfect.
01:02:00Oh!
01:02:01And now the game
01:02:02here comes Austin.
01:02:05Austin and
01:02:06and the game
01:02:07both going downstairs
01:02:08on the 500 pounder.
01:02:09What a hurricane
01:02:10double chokes
01:02:11Pertman down.
01:02:12And look at the big show.
01:02:15Big show, the last man
01:02:16eliminated
01:02:17in the 2000
01:02:18Royal Rumble.
01:02:19Wow.
01:02:20That match
01:02:21mired in controversy
01:02:22with a surprise
01:02:23effort
01:02:24in this match
01:02:25last year.
01:02:26No surprise this year
01:02:27and man,
01:02:28you get a look
01:02:29at the brawl team.
01:02:30Get that rope.
01:02:31They don't have to
01:02:32stay in there all night.
01:02:33Oh!
01:02:34Trying to get behind
01:02:35the big show
01:02:36with that waist lock.
01:02:37And Kurt!
01:02:38Kurt!
01:02:39Oh, here comes Angle.
01:02:40Oh, no, don't!
01:02:41No trouble with
01:02:42Kurt Angle.
01:02:43And
01:02:44Triple H
01:02:45downstairs
01:02:46to the
01:02:47the big show's knee.
01:02:48I think that
01:02:49maybe Triple H feels
01:02:50that the big show's
01:02:51a bigger threat
01:02:52in this sort of match
01:02:53than Kurt Angle.
01:02:54I don't know.
01:02:55That's only an assumption.
01:02:56Well, I don't agree
01:02:57with that.
01:02:58Obviously,
01:02:59Triple H thinks
01:03:00he's a big threat.
01:03:01He's a big anything,
01:03:02actually.
01:03:03Oh, my goodness!
01:03:04And Austin almost
01:03:05he almost
01:03:06lost that
01:03:07bald head there.
01:03:08And a headbutt
01:03:09down goes perfect.
01:03:10And Kurt Angle
01:03:11gets headbutted
01:03:12right in the face.
01:03:13Right across the
01:03:14right across the nose.
01:03:15And Triple H
01:03:16with a low blow
01:03:17on the game
01:03:18or on the
01:03:19on the big show
01:03:20from the game
01:03:21Oh!
01:03:22He counters!
01:03:23Ah!
01:03:24Ah!
01:03:25Ah!
01:03:26Oh, my!
01:03:27Well, are you ready
01:03:28for some hellfire
01:03:29in Bridgestone?
01:03:30Are you ready
01:03:31for the Big Red Machine
01:03:32who made
01:03:33a huge impact
01:03:34last year
01:03:35for Royal Arundel?
01:03:36He went
01:03:37almost 60 minutes
01:03:38last year.
01:03:39He eliminated
01:03:4011 superstars
01:03:41last year.
01:03:42They're not getting
01:03:43any smaller
01:03:44than JR!
01:03:45And then
01:03:46and look at
01:03:47these two bulls.
01:03:48It's like
01:03:49two big
01:03:50holes in
01:03:51the ground
01:03:52and they're
01:03:53not getting
01:03:54any smaller
01:03:55than these
01:03:56two big
01:03:57holes in
01:03:58bulls.
01:03:59We're gonna see
01:04:00who's gonna
01:04:01control that.
01:04:02Boy, Kane
01:04:03walked right up
01:04:04to Big Show.

01:04:20bull.
01:04:21And both men
01:04:22got the same
01:04:23idea.
01:04:24Look at this,
01:04:25JR.
01:04:26If I told you
01:04:27that Kane came
01:04:28into this Royal Rumble
01:04:29number 28,
01:04:30would you say
01:04:31he's gonna win?
01:04:32I'd say he had
01:04:33a hell of a chance
01:04:34to win.
01:04:35And look at
01:04:36this!
01:04:37Kane!
01:04:38Kane got
01:04:39the slam!
01:04:40The Big Show

01:04:42That is
01:04:43unbelievable!
01:04:44Also with
01:04:45a stunner

01:05:12I still
01:05:13I wanna see that

01:05:15I can't believe
01:05:16that Kane
01:05:17actually picked
01:05:18up the Big Show
01:05:19and just,
01:05:20I can't say
01:05:21he just tossed
01:05:22lifted

01:05:25Uh-oh!

01:05:33Rob Van Dam!
01:05:34The look

01:05:41Look out!
01:05:42Angle's got knocked down!
01:05:43Five star!
01:05:44My God!
01:05:45Five star!
01:05:46What an opportunistic
01:05:47idiot!
01:05:48That just twisted
01:05:49the guts of
01:05:50Kurt Angle!
01:05:51Rob Van Dam,
01:05:52you gotta be the
01:05:53luckiest man
01:05:54in Atlanta, Georgia!
01:05:55RBD knocking

01:05:57Knocking down
01:05:58Austin.
01:05:59RBD
01:06:00taking down
01:06:01Kurt.
01:06:02RBD now
01:06:03is those educated
01:06:04people
01:06:05taking down
01:06:06whatever
01:06:07might be
01:06:08freezing here.
01:06:09More important
01:06:10than having
01:06:11his feet educated?
01:06:12Oh!
01:06:13He's having
01:06:14the luck of the draw
01:06:15in the Rumble,
01:06:16number 29!
01:06:17A rolling
01:06:18Thunder by RBD.
01:06:19But here comes
01:06:20Kurt Angle!
01:06:23Kurt Angle
01:06:24from behind
01:06:25knocking down
01:06:26the Game.
01:06:27The Game got
01:06:28the pedigree
01:06:29on RBD.
01:06:30He had to slow
01:06:31down that
01:06:32runaway track.
01:06:33Everybody's
01:06:34taking cheap shots.
01:06:35Look, they're all
01:06:36down, JR.
01:06:37And this looks
01:06:38like two trucks
01:06:39come out of here,
01:06:40out here in I-75.
01:06:41Kurt, are you
01:06:42alright?
01:06:43Just remember,
01:06:44I picked you!
01:06:45I win.
01:06:46Don't let me down!
01:06:47A lot of carnage.
01:06:48Austin going
01:06:49back to
01:06:50Triple H.
01:06:51There's a lot
01:06:52riding on you,
01:06:53Kurt.
01:06:54Angle now,
01:06:55the right hand
01:06:56on Mr. Perfect.
01:06:57The returning
01:06:58Mr. Perfect.
01:06:59Can he make this
01:07:00a perfect
01:07:01Royal Rumble?
01:07:05Still got something
01:07:06left.
01:07:07And the veteran
01:07:08from Minneapolis
01:07:09fighting back.
01:07:10Angle,
01:07:11front facelock.
01:07:16Here comes
01:07:17number 30,
01:07:18Booker T.
01:07:19He's no sucker
01:07:20tonight!
01:07:21Booker T in a
01:07:22very enviable
01:07:23situation.
01:07:24He's fresh.
01:07:25He hasn't
01:07:26been beetled.
01:07:27And this is
01:07:28his first ever
01:07:29Royal Rumble
01:07:30fight.
01:07:31And he's
01:07:32going to
01:07:33take it.
01:07:34He's going
01:07:35to take it.
01:07:36He's going
01:07:37to take it.
01:07:38He's going
01:07:39to take it.
01:07:40He's going
01:07:41to take it.
01:07:42He's going
01:07:43to take it.
01:07:44He's going
01:07:45to take it.
01:07:46He's going
01:07:47to take
01:07:48it.
01:07:49He's
01:07:50going to
01:07:57take it.
01:08:06He's
01:08:12going
01:08:15the top rope, and we're back down to these four, the final four here.
01:08:26There are no more entrants.
01:08:27One of these four men are gonna go to WrestleMania.
01:08:30Look at this, JR.
01:08:33Austin, cutting right into Triple H.
01:08:36He almost stunned Kurt Angle, but then he got, like you said,
01:08:39almost a pedigree, and now here comes Triple H.
01:08:41And Triple H, California, head first to the top turnbuckle by Austin.
01:08:44Kurt Angle underneath, and the Angle slams, and Triple H drilled.
01:08:48No pinfalls, no disqualifications, only one way to lose,
01:08:51and that's to be thrown over the top rope all the way to the floor.
01:08:55Austin and Perkins, you gotta be impressed with Perkins.
01:09:00That'll be impressive, he has been perfect tonight, look at this.
01:09:03A German suplex by Kurt Angle, locking those hands like a pit bulldog.
01:09:08And Triple H, and again, holding on.
01:09:10You can call it a German suplex if you want to, I like to call it a good old
01:09:13Mesolithic suplex.
01:09:16Reminiscent of a rabid wolverine.
01:09:19The awesome Chris Van Wall, locking those hands, and taking it all down.
01:09:23And that was a low blow by Austin.
01:09:25What Austin had to resort to, look out.
01:09:27A very unolithic way to counter.
01:09:31And now Austin trying to get perfect up on Oval.
01:09:34One of these four men will go to WrestleMania on March the 17th in
01:09:39the Sky Dome in Toronto.
01:09:41The new WWF champion, Angle from Bahamas, Angle and Perkins.
01:09:46Look out, they're coming over to Austin.
01:09:48All of these four men so close.
01:09:50Austin being double teamed, but he didn't go to the floor.
01:09:53And can you imagine being one of the final four and then getting eliminated?
01:09:57Being so close to being in the main event at WrestleMania and
01:10:00then getting eliminated?
01:10:02Austin coming back up and lashing out the Texas Rattlesnake.
01:10:07No contested here, Austin's won it three times.
01:10:11Three guys just beating on each other, just pounding away at each other.
01:10:14Well, if he can get a place, smack him.
01:10:17Kurt Angle, the first man to hit the deck.
01:10:19And again, Austin trying to hoist Mr. Perfect over the top rope.
01:10:25You've now got him.
01:10:25And, Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle just eliminated the Rattlesnake.
01:10:31Kurt Angle just eliminated Austin.
01:10:33As Austin's about to eliminate Mr. Perfect.
01:10:37Unbelievable.
01:10:40Austin has been eliminated.
01:10:43And now, wait a minute, Austin bringing Perfect on the outside.
01:10:47Austin taking Perfect on the outside with a hard right hand.
01:10:51And here comes Angle from behind, and that's Austin again.
01:10:54What's Austin imagine Mr. Perfect for?
01:10:56Kurt Angle eliminated.
01:10:59Now, Kurt Angle puts the exclamation point on the Rattlesnake.
01:11:02Angle came from behind and sent Austin for a ride in those steel steps.
01:11:08And now, there's three men left, Triple H, Kurt Angle, Mr. Perfect.
01:11:12Who's going to WrestleMania to meet the champion?
01:11:15Well, we gotta figure now, you gotta take everything into account.
01:11:18Who's the freshest?
01:11:19Which one of these three was the last one to enter?
01:11:22I think it's Kurt Angle.
01:11:23And wait a minute, he's gonna get the Rattlesnake out of here.
01:11:25He's still walking around the ring, he's got a double chair.
01:11:28Austin took his SOP in the WWE.
01:11:30You can't go back to the referee.
01:11:31He's got him a chair.
01:11:32Referee.
01:11:33No, got the Perfect down.
01:11:35What the hell, referee?
01:11:37Angle's down.
01:11:38But there's no disqualification, King.
01:11:40There's nothing the referee's-
01:11:41No!
01:11:43Austin just nailed Triple H, I guess, for the hell of it.
01:11:48Because he's a Texas Rattlesnake.
01:11:51Austin may have been eliminated, King, but he's made his mark.
01:11:55He's definitely on the head of his three opponents.
01:11:58He is the meanest Rattlesnake you'll ever lay eyes on.
01:12:02You don't trust anybody, especially that snake right there.
01:12:05That Bionic Redneck is pissed.
01:12:08You can count on that.
01:12:09No!
01:12:10He's done more damage.
01:12:13Austin came to win, but it was not to be on this night,
01:12:16thanks to Mr. Perfect and Kurt Angle.
01:12:19But look at the carnage perpetrated by Stone Cold Steve Austin.
01:12:25Who got hit first with the chair?
01:12:27He may be the first to revive.
01:12:28I think that was Kurt Angle.
01:12:30He's the freshest, if you want to call that fresh.
01:12:33Angle, Perfect, and Triple H all got a chair shot to the head by Austin.
01:12:39Who got hit the hardest?
01:12:40They're all woozy.
01:12:42Every man trying to-
01:12:43Perfect's punches don't have the sympathy it had earlier,
01:12:46thanks to that chair shot, but still effective.
01:12:49Kurt Angle- No, no.
01:12:50Don't do it, Kurt.
01:12:53Triple H, Triple H, and Kurt Angle.
01:12:56Triple H's down.
01:12:58Kurt Angle now perfect.
01:12:59He's very athletically humble.
01:13:01Oh, see, Kurt.
01:13:04Triple H beat each other up a bunch of times.
01:13:08And everyone was in a wicked condition.
01:13:09Oh, no!
01:13:10The Perfect Plex.
01:13:12This ain't a piano?
01:13:13What a grab in the air out of Kurt Angle.
01:13:16The Perfect Plex.
01:13:18A snap on that neck.
01:13:21And the chairs exploded.
01:13:23It illuminates Mr. Perfect.
01:13:25It's down to Triple H and Kurt Angle.
01:13:28Let's see who's gonna win the Royal Rumble match.
01:13:31Let's see who's gonna go to WrestleMania.
01:13:33Boy, Kurt Henning was, well, he was 99% perfect.
01:13:37And now look at this, too.
01:13:39He started with 30.
01:13:41We are down to two.
01:13:43The stakes are just as high as they were when we got here tonight.
01:13:48One man will find himself in the main event at WrestleMania.
01:13:52At the Sky Dome in Toronto.
01:13:54Will it be Kurt Angle?
01:13:55Here we go.
01:13:56Will it be The Game?
01:13:59And Triple H with the right hands taking down Kurt Angle.
01:14:02Come on, Kurt.
01:14:03It ain't gonna be pretty the rest of the way.
01:14:06It's a must win for you, Kurt.
01:14:08It's a must win for both these magnificent athletes.
01:14:11There's no doubt about that.
01:14:12Yeah, but this is Kurt Angle's first ever Royal Rumble.
01:14:14We know he always wins the first time he ever enters anything.
01:14:16But it's Triple H's first match back since last May.
01:14:19Whoa!
01:14:19And a suplex.
01:14:21Bending the belly over his suplex by Kurt Angle.
01:14:23Almost taking Triple H out of the boots, The Game's boots.
01:14:30Come on, Kurt. Remember, he had that torque.
01:14:32Kurt said, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:14:33Almost over here.
01:14:34It's gonna be over here.
01:14:35Angle relentlessly, desperately trying to put Kurt Angle over the top.
01:14:40Angle wants to win it.
01:14:41He can taste it.
01:14:42He's close.
01:14:43Pick him up.
01:14:43And The Game pulling on him.
01:14:45Fast, hit him.
01:14:46But The Game with that apron.
01:14:47He's in a dangerous position here.
01:14:49Triple H had no man's land on that apron.
01:14:53Fighting back with a tapered right hand.
01:14:55Triple H is back in it now.
01:14:56Good as new.
01:14:58Total takedown by The Game.
01:15:02Again, no disqualification.
01:15:03Kurt Angle somehow, as does The Game.
01:15:11They both make their way back up.
01:15:13They're gonna give you everything they've got, as if they haven't already.
01:15:16They're winning.
01:15:17Here he goes.
01:15:18Triple H is out.
01:15:19No.
01:15:20His feet.
01:15:21Where's the referee?
01:15:22Tim Wright with a safe angle.
01:15:24Kurt, turn around.
01:15:24You didn't win yet.
01:15:26Turn around, Kurt.
01:15:27You didn't win.
01:15:27Kurt Angle makes his move.
01:15:30No, he's busted.
01:15:32Angle in trouble.
01:15:33Angle in trouble.
01:15:35It's over.
01:15:36It's over.
01:15:37It's over.
01:15:38The Game, The Game.
01:15:40Your winner of the Royal Rumble match, Triple H.
01:15:46He worked his way south of hell just to make it back.
01:15:50When many said he'd never make it.
01:15:52And now Triple H is going to WrestleMania.
01:15:57Triple H is going to meet the undisputed WWE Champion at WrestleMania.
01:16:04My God, what a performance.
01:16:08Surviving 30 minutes.
01:16:12And the Game, The Game has begun.
01:16:17Triple H entered the Royal Rumble with only one thought in mind.
01:16:25And that was to win the game.
01:16:27It was a must win situation.
01:16:30He said he told the world that that was his goal when he came back for
01:16:34that eight month hiatus.
01:16:36And he did it, JR.
01:16:37He did it.
01:16:39Triple H has returned from a career of threatening injury before a sellout crowd
01:16:45and a worldwide audience to win the Royal Rumble.
01:16:48It's gonna be an entertaining ride to WrestleMania.
01:16:52The Game.
01:16:53The Game.
01:16:54The Game.
01:16:55The Game.
