WWF No Way Out 2002 - The Rock vs The Undertaker
Transcript
00:00Well, that match didn't come here tonight, but coming up momentarily.
00:04It is a match about respect as far as The Undertaker is concerned, but
00:08an emotional match.
00:09A match about retribution as far as The Rock is concerned.
00:15These two men are on a collision course momentarily.
00:18Yeah, last Sunday was a night of unexpected at the World Rumble.
00:24Maven eliminating The Undertaker.
00:27My God, Maven from Pimpin' Out just eliminated The Undertaker.
00:31My God, my God, I don't believe it.
00:33Was Rock in the Rumble?
00:35No, he wasn't in the Rumble, so it's none of his business.
00:38But he sees fit to tell the whole world who eliminated The Undertaker.
00:42You see, everything's a big joke to The Rock.
00:43Everything's a big song and dance.
00:45You see, Coach, I don't sing and I don't dance, and I don't get disrespected.
00:49But what the hell is this?
00:50It's The Undertaker.
00:52Undertaker on Chokeslam.
00:54What the hell was that all about?
00:56That evil, sadistic Undertaker screwed Rock.
00:59You see, Undertaker, you came in The Rock's match.
01:01You chokeslammed The Rock, costing The Rock the undefeated championship.
01:05So now Undertaker, The Rock's big announcement, no way out.
01:09Dead Man Walking is gonna walk right into going one on one with The Great One.
01:16I'm gonna take The Rock, and I'm gonna teach him the word respect.
01:23My God almighty.
01:24The Undertaker is gonna contest The Rock for that left pipe.
01:28But The Undertaker ain't ashamed of his actions, not one bit.
01:31Look at him.
01:32Undertaker, you wanna beat some respect into The Rock?
01:35Well, you get something straight.
01:36You see, The Rock does not answer to you.
01:38Wait a minute, it's The Rock.
01:40Where's The Rock when the Suge's here?
01:42No.
01:42Undertaker, revenge for the left pipe on Rock.
01:45A Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom by The Rock.
01:48Hardcore title on the line.
01:50Here's the cover.
01:51No, he's got him.
01:52What the hell?
01:53The Rock has aided Maven.
01:55Maven has won the hardcore title.
01:57He's beat The Undertaker.
01:59We ain't even.
02:00We ain't even this week.
02:01We ain't even next week.
02:02And no way out.
02:03We damn sure ain't gonna be even.
02:04Cuz the best-
02:06If you do disrespect me, I will show you what will happen.
02:10Oh my God, no.
02:14No, Rock.
02:16We ain't even.
02:17What a sick, sick human being.
02:19The Rock and The Undertaker.
02:21These two men get it on, and no way out.
02:23Well, it's all about respect.
02:24You know that's what The Undertaker's been craving.
02:27The beatings will continue until I teach Rock the word respect.
02:34Respect.
02:35Something's gotta give here.
02:36You see, Undertaker, you're going home with The Rock's black boots
02:39shoved right up your ass.
02:41You know, fear and respect, they go hand in hand.
02:44I guarantee you, it'll be a knockdown, drag out,
02:47slaughter knocker between that man, The Rock, and The Undertaker.
02:51There's no way out.
02:52Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.
02:57Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.
03:00Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.
03:03Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.
03:06We're number one.
03:07We're number one.
03:08We're number one.
03:09We're number one.
03:10We're number one.
03:11We're number one.
03:12We're number one.
03:13We're number one.
03:14We're number one.
03:15We're number one.
03:16I gotta tell you, King, this one, I got a real bad feeling about this match.
03:23I always get a bad feeling when I see The Undertaker.
03:25The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
03:28At the ring, from Houston, Texas, weighing 305 pounds, The Undertaker.
03:35It's even a sinister looking motorcycle, isn't it?
03:38It really is.
03:39Quite the machine.
03:41And so is the man riding it.
03:44It's been a decade of destruction.
03:46Everybody seems to align themselves with, very prominently, I might add,
03:50with one of the owners of the WWF.
03:53I did like the way he called out Ric Flair earlier.
03:56Former three-time WWF champion.
04:00Possessed with respect.
04:07Here is the man!
04:09Oh, no, The Rock is ready to ring.
04:13Look out.
04:15No interruption needed.
04:17We know who he is.
04:18The people's champion.
04:20Not wasting any time.
04:22He's showing The Undertaker absolutely no respect.
04:24And The Rock would like to have this one in,
04:26quickly, aggressively, and physically.
04:29Oh, look at The Undertaker.
04:31He's reeling.
04:32He's reeling.
04:33Ming Rock.
04:34All right.
04:35By the Brahma Ball.
04:36The Undertaker turning the table.
04:38The Rock counters again.
04:40I just don't think The Undertaker was ready for this kind of assault from The Rock.
04:44The Rock, ten days ago, concussed by Booger Red on the head first,
04:49on the top of that limo.
04:51There's a cover.
04:52And The Rock got his left shoulder off the canvas.
04:55And The Rock's supposed to come down to the ring and get in
04:57and look at all the corners, climb the ropes,
05:00and look at the people and raise his eyebrow?
05:02This wasn't right.
05:03Rock not in a celebratory mood.
05:07The Undertaker no way out, looking for reprobation
05:10over that career-threatening accident that was perpetrated
05:16ten days ago by The Undertaker.
05:21The Rock getting chokeslammed on the hood of the limousine,
05:24and then taken to the top of the limo,
05:26where the Tombstone Piledriver was delivered by The Undertaker.
05:30Almost drove The Rock's head right through the roof of that limo.
05:33Undertaker, good use of that forearm,
05:36right in the face of The Rock.
05:396'10 and a half, The Undertaker.
05:41Just over 300 pounds.
05:44Wow, did you hear that?
05:46Right in the back.
05:47Undertaker can take a shot, though, I'll tell you.
05:49And he comes back with those fingers extended
05:52right to the throat, it would seem,
05:54and a knock down to the elbow.
05:55I'm a big fan of The Rock.
05:56He is a big guy, but look at The Undertaker,
05:58just almost dwarfs The Rock here, doesn't he?
06:01Oh!
06:03Reaching for that neckbreaker.
06:05Didn't get as much of it as he wanted,
06:07as evidenced by The Undertaker starting to move around
06:10quicker than The Rock.
06:13Rock, a former six-time WWF champion,
06:16the youngest man to ever win
06:18the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
06:21And The Undertaker knocking the prodigy back down,
06:24the first third-generation superstar in WWF history.
06:31This match is not about title.
06:33It's not about being the number one contender.
06:35It's not about WrestleMania, you're damn right,
06:37it's all about respect.
06:40You gotta admit, The Rock has not learned his lesson.
06:43What lesson did he not learn his start with?
06:47If somebody broke your hip, JR,
06:49to the top of a limousine,
06:51wouldn't that teach you to respect that person,
06:53and not try to irritate him, not try to anger him,
06:55not try to get on their bad side?
06:57But what did The Rock do?
06:59He comes out here like the proverbial scalded dog,
07:03not even doing his usual introduction,
07:05just trying to jump right in Undertaker's face.
07:07No respect.
07:09Undertaker, the headbutt there,
07:11has Rock in a bad way there in the corner,
07:13and certainly Rock started a
07:15frenetic pace here, a very
07:17quick, in-your-face offensive pace,
07:21but The Undertaker has slowed down to a
07:23sadistically methodical one.
07:25And The Rock fighting out of that corner.
07:27Look out, here comes The Rock,
07:29lands a smackdown!
07:31Uh-oh!
07:32Sidewalk slam!
07:34That was an impactful
07:36sidewalk slam
07:38by The Undertaker,
07:40driving the air out of The Rock,
07:42now got the cover, and Rock kicking out
07:44just before the three,
07:46and there was not a lot of energy
07:48in that kick out by the people's champion.
07:51Not a lot of energy left in the body
07:53after you get a sidewalk slam like that
07:55by The Undertaker.
07:57A normal man would have been history.
08:01The Rock, uh,
08:03certainly, uh, instrumental,
08:05quite frankly, responsible
08:07in Maven upsetting The Undertaker
08:09and becoming the hardcore champion.
08:13Upsetting, yeah, that was much bigger than an upset.
08:15That's like the end of the world to The Undertaker.
08:17And I don't blame him.
08:19I mean, come on, give him a break.
08:21Maven, a Raw rookie,
08:24but two wins over The Undertaker.
08:26Maven also eliminated The Undertaker
08:28at the Royal Rumble,
08:30which, uh,
08:32The Undertaker probably will never forget.
08:34Quite frankly, the beating that Maven's received,
08:36right, and then, you know what happened
08:38at the Royal Rumble, and then
08:40Rock got fouled off about it,
08:42and that's why we're here tonight.
08:44Hard shot right to the head by The Undertaker.
08:46Measuring those kicks,
08:48certainly no wasted motion
08:50by this veteran who has campaigned
08:52for over 11 years
08:54here in the World Wrestling Federation.
08:56All he wants is a little respect.
08:58I bet Ric Flair will respect The Undertaker from now on.
09:04King, respect is not all about
09:06fear
09:08and aggression.
09:10It's about earning respect.
09:12It's about your attitude.
09:14Undertaker got hung up there.
09:16You mean Undertaker hasn't earned you respect in 11 years
09:18at the WWF?
09:20He's the one that's got the self-esteem problem.
09:22He's the one that's got the anxiety.
09:24Wow.
09:26Oh.
09:28Over the top.
09:30Right outside here.
09:32You gotta respect him over there, Hugo.
09:34He's got the Spanish announce table.
09:36Show some respect.
09:38On the belt to Ric with that right hand.
09:42And, uh, Booger Red
09:44introducing the steel steps.
09:46I don't know about that Booger Red turn.
09:49That lacks a little bit of respect.
09:51Oh, he got it. He got it.
09:53And so does that.
09:55You don't need any of this.
09:57Easy, Rock.
09:59Yeah, their table. Good.
10:01Thank you.
10:03Rock knows what it's like
10:05to be driven to a table
10:07by The Undertaker.
10:09Poor Spanish announce table is cursed, isn't it?
10:11I don't even speak good English.
10:13It's less Spanish.
10:15Thank God for that.
10:17His head bounced off the steps.
10:19And now The Rock has set the table,
10:21so to speak, and it looks like
10:23The Undertaker's gonna take advantage of it.
10:27Looking at that like a big buffet table, wouldn't he?
10:29More like you would look at a buffet table.
10:33Oh, man!
10:35Oh!
10:37Oh, wow.
10:39That hurt me.
10:41That hurt Rock's answer.
10:43Look at The Undertaker
10:45sitting in his seat, talking trash to The Great.
10:47He can sit there and talk for about 15 minutes now
10:49if he wants to.
10:51Yeah, I think he's got some time.
10:55Now gotta go to school, JR.
10:57Respect school.
10:59He is a perverse principal,
11:01let me tell you.
11:03Uh-oh. You don't want him to tell you
11:05to stay after school, and The Undertaker
11:07rolling in the ring.
11:09Now, he did that so he could break the referee's count
11:11so The Undertaker and Rock
11:14counted out this man.
11:16You know what's he doing, JR?
11:18The Undertaker's respecting the rules,
11:20respecting authority.
11:22Now he just wants some respect back.
11:24Yeah, I just haven't plugged in
11:26this kinder, gentler side yet.
11:28Yeah, right.
11:30That right hand almost beheaded
11:32Rock, took him right out of the top,
11:34right out to the concrete.
11:36I can't say I was unsurprised
11:38to see these two men out there
11:40amongst them, over 15,000
11:42and Bradley centered.
11:46What are they doing?
11:48The Undertaker
11:52trying to climb the ramp.
11:54Oh! No!
11:56And Rock reversed The Undertaker
11:58right into that door,
12:00follows it with a couple of hard right hands.
12:06It's hard to say what's gonna happen
12:08out here in this proverbial
12:11no-man's land, surrounded by concrete.
12:17Undertaker with a big arm
12:19around the neck of The Rock,
12:21dragging The Rock back toward the ring here.
12:23They're coming back this way.
12:29I tell you, you never know what's gonna happen
12:31when you go see WWF live.
12:33They'll be right on your laps.
12:35Maybe closer to a WWF superstar
12:37than you ever dreamed.
12:40I've seen some laps I'd like to get into
12:42in these crowds.
12:44Rock been whipped like a devil in a mule
12:46here by The Undertaker
12:48at this point in time in the match-up.
12:52Hard elbow, one of the elbows,
12:54right down on the chest of The Rock,
12:56driving more air out of it.
13:00This is...
13:03Oh!
13:05The Undertaker
13:07just enjoys hurting people.
13:11And he's real good at it.
13:13Why would you ever want to mouth off
13:15and risk the wrath of that man?
13:17Hey, remember the Spanish nap table?
13:20Huh? Why would you say that?
13:22Oh!
13:24He won't promise to owe you money?
13:26The Rock again getting this
13:28pulverized.
13:30A few pesos.
13:33And now The Undertaker gonna go for that cover.
13:35And Rock
13:37starting to kick it out.
13:39Undertaker hooking the leg this time.
13:41Rock still kicks out.
13:43And now the big time fishbone.
13:45Right back in the...
13:47Right back in the face.
13:49And Undertaker seems to be getting a little frustrated
13:51getting loose in The Rock too many times.
13:54Well, I'm not counting out The Rock.
13:56Except you gotta remember
13:58we haven't seen him too many times
14:00coming off the heels of a great one.
14:02That could be the difference maker
14:04in this match, JR.
14:06Well, The Rock would never use
14:08an injury or not being 100%
14:10as an excuse ever.
14:12Why not?
14:14It's just not his style.
14:16And he's fighting back here.
14:18100% or not with everything he's got.
14:20And whatever he's got left,
14:22we're gonna get it here.
14:24Oh! Oh, Rock got it.
14:26And The Rock lowered his hand.
14:28The Undertaker with a veteran adjustment there.
14:31Whatever Rock had left, just left.
14:33And I'll tell you what,
14:35that was a huge DDT.
14:37Undertaker...
14:41Finally gets the cover.
14:43Oh, no!
14:45Oh, no!
14:47Not a temper tantrum from The Undertaker.
14:49Undertaker showing a lot of frustration there.
14:51It was Christian-esque, wasn't it?
14:57Rock at least had the wherewithal
15:00to kick out and land on his gut
15:02off his back.
15:07Oh!
15:09Rock's back.
15:11It broke him right here, JR.
15:13It got snapped.
15:15Rock's lower back has been punished
15:17on more than one occasion in this match.
15:19Now The Undertaker
15:21using his strength
15:23and a huge leverage advantage at 6'10".
15:25And that upper body strength
15:27is predominant here.
15:30Please stay, Rock!
15:33Oh, looks like The Rock's sort of just
15:35kind of floating away, JR.
15:37He's leaving us.
15:41Referee might kill it.
15:43Checking The Rock's arm.
15:47Hanging in there.
15:49Check that arm.
15:51It dropped three times.
15:54Match is a stop.
15:56It didn't drop once.
15:59The Undertaker getting through that shoulder
16:01as it's the post
16:03right in the sternum
16:05squeezing the lower back.
16:13I'm afraid this could be it for The Rock.
16:17Not a typical
16:19ride and limo like The Rock
16:21is used to.
16:23Ten rounds ago, I know it.
16:26Two!
16:28We can count, ref.
16:30So dramatic.
16:32Arm drops again. It's over.
16:34Whoa!
16:36Rock's hanging in there.
16:38The Rock is hanging in there
16:40and that Brahma Bull's heart
16:42still beating strongly.
16:46Scores with the right hand.
16:48That may be all The Rock can do right now
16:50is just fight with those fists.
16:52But will that be enough against the Deadman?
16:54That might be.
16:56Knocking down The Undertaker
16:58but The Rock is down as well.
17:00That'll buy The Rock some time, though.
17:02Just a little time to recuperate.
17:04R&R time.
17:06The Rock needs it badly.
17:08Two!
17:10Undertaker
17:12starting to stir
17:14as is The Rock.
17:18Over 15,000 right there.
17:20They're trying to pump some life into The Rock.
17:23They're trying to see him lay some smack down.
17:2515,235
17:27live here in Milwaukee tonight
17:29as The Rock
17:31walks right into a right hand
17:33responds with a right of his own.
17:35But I don't like The Rock's chances
17:37in a fist fight with The Undertaker
17:39in the condition The Rock's in now.
17:43But he keeps fighting back.
17:45I don't think The Rock believes my analogy.
17:47I don't think he does either.
17:50And there's the DDT.
17:52That quick low
17:54on The Rock.
17:56There's a dream of The Rock's there.
17:58He snapped back to life.
18:00The spine on the pine.
18:02No, wait a minute.
18:04One minute, The Rock is down.
18:06He's devastated.
18:08The next minute, we're about to witness
18:10Levi electrifying movement
18:12in sports entertainment today, JR.
18:14Here he comes.
18:16Uh-oh.
18:19A low blow.
18:21A low blow.
18:25And The Undertaker got kicked right in Death Valley there.
18:27Uh-oh.
18:29And The Rock.
18:31Uh-oh.
18:33Laying some serious smack down on The Undertaker.
18:35Trying to check him into the old
18:37Smackdown Hotel, but.
18:39And now The Undertaker.
18:41A chokeslam.
18:45That did it.
18:48But The Undertaker
18:50after that low blow
18:52is wondering if The Undertaker's gonna be able to cover.
18:54He got him.
18:56And this time it's The Rock's right shoulder
18:58that came shooting off the canvas.
19:00And The Undertaker ain't buying this
19:02at all for the referee.
19:04That's the referee's fault.
19:06The Rock kicked out. He did it fair and square.
19:08You're dealing with The Rock, Undertaker.
19:10The boy's the people's champion.
19:12Now what?
19:14Undertaker, where's he going?
19:16And as he now stands the other way over here.
19:18Uh-oh.
19:20What the hell's this?
19:22He's got to run The Rock over with his motorcycle.
19:24Love being in his teacher's little
19:26Robson ring.
19:28Hey, Papa Wheelie, jump right in there.
19:30What is this? What is The Undertaker doing here?
19:32Uh.
19:34He's sitting on his motorcycle.
19:36The Rock was in a bad light.
19:40Oh, hey.
19:42What the hell are you doing? Take that.
19:45Out.
19:47Undertaker threw the referee
19:49back into those steps.
19:51What's he doing?
19:53I don't know what he's doing.
19:55Uh-oh.
19:57Oh, my God.
19:59That lead pipe.
20:01And he hits Rock with the lead pipe
20:03since that The Undertaker's
20:05going to win this damn thing.
20:07He's going to demand The Rock.
20:09Hey, wait a minute. Oh, there's Ripley.
20:11What the heck?
20:14What is he doing?
20:16Well, a hard chop on The Undertaker
20:18and that woke up The Deadman
20:20who just knocked Claire down
20:22with a shot right to the face.
20:26That lead pipe is in the ring.
20:30Well, you're right. It was like that
20:32that shot woke The Undertaker up
20:34and that put Rock out. No, he missed him.
20:36Undertaker looking for The Rock's head.
20:38Got the spine busted.
20:40Wait a minute.
20:43The Rock's got the sharpshooter
20:45on The Undertaker.
20:47And he can't reach that lead pipe.
20:49The referee there
20:51to see if The Undertaker's going to give it up.
20:53He's about to tap.
20:55The Undertaker's about to tap.
20:57Deadman.
20:59What the hell is Mr. McMahon doing here?
21:01He's trying to save The Undertaker.
21:05I think he just figured Claire interfered.
21:07Undertaker's about to tap out.
21:09Look out!
21:12A new man brought to the ring by The Rock.
21:14He's an owner of this company.
21:16And so is Ric Flair.
21:18Oh no!
21:20McMahon on Green Street.
21:22But The Undertaker comes from behind
21:24on The Rock.
21:26Oh no.
21:28Here we go.
21:30Whoa!
21:32Flair just nailed The Undertaker
21:34with that lead pipe.
21:36But The Undertaker's on lead pipe.
21:38And to The Rock bottom.
21:41And it's over!
21:49What happened?
21:51Ric Flair with The Undertaker's
21:53lead pipe.
21:55Just hit The American Badass
21:57right between the eyes.
21:59That led to The Rock bottom.
22:01And The People's Champion.
22:05With a victory
22:07over The Undertaker.
22:11I cannot believe that Ric Flair insinuated
22:13himself into this match.
22:19Ric Flair is going to make sure
22:21that The Undertaker didn't use
22:23that lead pipe on The Rock.
22:25Yeah, but instead he made sure that he used it
22:27on The Undertaker.
22:29Ric Flair himself.
22:31The second time in three days
22:33that Flair's been kicked in the face by The Undertaker.
22:35I'd hate to hear what he'd be saying right now
22:37if Vince McMahon had hit The Rock with something.
22:41That'd have been a miscarriage of justice.
22:43That'd have been awful, wouldn't it?
22:47For the Brahma Bull.
22:52Showing a great deal of resiliency.
22:54It wasn't easy.
22:56It wasn't a pretty match.
22:58It was a very physically intense match.
23:04Mr. McMahon obviously coming down
23:06to try to help The Undertaker
23:08out of the predicament.
23:10He came down to offset the damage done by Ric Flair.
23:12But if The Undertaker hadn't used that lead pipe
23:14I don't think we'd have even seen Ric Flair.
