SportsTranscript
00:00Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the Royal Rumble match!
00:07And here are the rules.
00:09In just a few moments, the individuals who are numbers 1 and 2, respectively, will enter this ring, and the Rumble match will begin.
00:17Then, every minute and a half thereafter, another superstar enters the ring, and the match continues.
00:24Elimination occurs when an individual is thrown over the top rope, but both feet must touch the floor.
00:31The last superstar remaining in this ring, after all 30 individuals have entered, will not only win the Rumble match, but will get a title shot at WristleMedia!
00:54Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the individual who is the number 1 entrant in the Royal Rumble match,
01:10from San Antonio, Texas, the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!
01:17The 15th Royal Rumble match in WWE history kicks off our journey to WristleMedia, and the first man entered is the Heartbreak Kid,
01:29that's Joe Stafford King, Shawn Michaels, who in 1995, the first man entered, and he went wire to wire to win it all.
01:42And Shawn Michaels is undoubtedly hoping that lightning will strike twice.
01:47Well, right here tonight, can he do it again is the question.
01:52Walter Justin has warned that after the first 10 men start the match here at the Royal Rumble match,
01:59we don't have a 90 second, another competitor, not 2 minutes, every 90 seconds, if you're scoring at all.
02:17And now, the number 2 participant in the Royal Rumble match, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, weighing 227 pounds, Chris Jericho!
02:36Wait a minute, that's not, what's up with this?
02:39That's not Chris Jericho, that's his tag team partner, Chris, wait a minute, look behind Shawn Michaels!
02:46And a low blow by Jericho, coming in, Christian wants a distraction, and Michaels is the victim of a low blow.
02:55Now, in this Royal Rumble match, there are no pinfalls, no submissions, no count outs, and no disqualifications.
03:05Well, we were all victims of that distraction, Christian shows up out of the entertainment, where the hell did Jericho come from?
03:12Jericho apparently came through the crowd, as best I can tell, and Jericho trying to make himself famous here,
03:18the first ever undisputed champion, has got 90 seconds to do whatever he wants with Shawn Michaels.
03:27And again, no disqualifications, only one way to be eliminated in the Royal Rumble,
03:33and that's to go over the top rope, but both feet touching the floor.
03:36Oh my gosh, Jericho admitted it!
03:39He's always been emulated, Shawn Michaels, but you never know it from a vile character.
03:46I don't know if Jericho respects anybody or anything.
03:51Oh, Shawn Michaels is busted open.
03:55Oh, heard that, that steel on Cranium, and guess who won that exchange?
04:02Shawn Michaels has not even been able to get out of the blocks here.
04:05First, a low fall, and then that, as you described it, King, that vile chair shot.
04:12Now we're five seconds away from our next entrant into the Royal Rumble!
04:17There comes Christopher Whiskey, the young man from Harvard in Cambridge, Mass.,
04:30just down the road from Boston here.
04:32Look at this, he's not in any hurry to get in the Royal Rumble.
04:35As a matter of fact, I think he just told Jericho,
04:37go ahead, you got some unfinished business to take care of.
04:40Whiskey is pretty darn smart with that Harvard degree under his belt,
04:44making his Royal Rumble debut.
04:46He hasn't made it yet, but in any event, Shawn Michaels,
04:49with the heart of a gladiator, entering the Royal Rumble at number one,
04:53and he's all fussed it up here.
04:55Trying to fight back.
04:57Jericho having his way, but the one, the man that Jericho says it,
05:01at one time, that Jericho emulated.
05:04Yeah, but for HBK Cobb, going right from the get-go here,
05:09with the help, of course, of Christian, with that phony entrance there.
05:14Jericho shows up from behind, low blow, and now this is it.
05:17And Shawn Michaels eliminated by King Jericho.
05:22Shawn Michaels battered and bloody, the low blow, the chair shot,
05:26the distraction, all combining to eliminate Shawn Michaels.
05:32And I'll tell you what, I would not have called that in a million years.
05:36I can't believe my eyes.
05:38Jericho has accomplished, well, he's done the part, part,
05:41but now can he do what else he said he was gonna do?
05:44Can he go through 28 other superstars?
05:47Shawn Michaels is not gonna do a bloody miss,
05:50thanks to Chris Jericho and that chair shot.
05:53And Nowitzki hasn't gotten the ring yet.
06:03And there is our fourth entrant into the Royal Rumble,
06:07making his Rumble debut, Rey Mysterio.
06:12And Rey Mysterio from SmackDown.
06:15Got that right, straight from SmackDown,
06:17Rey Mysterio with a well-aimed welcome from Chris Jericho.
06:21And Nowitzki now slithering into the ring for the first time.
06:26Jericho, my, what a shot to the face of Jericho by Rey Mysterio.
06:33One of the great young superstars in the business today, no doubt about that.
06:38Has Nowitzki actually gotten into the ring yet or what?
06:40He got about half his body in there a moment ago.
06:42I'm telling you, this kid's smart.
06:45He's taught him well at Harvard.
06:48Ross Jericho against SmackDown's Rey Mysterio with a main event
06:55opportunity at WrestleMania awaiting the winner of this Royal Rumble match.
07:02Mysterio with a great balance.
07:04But the no avail is- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
07:07That's a feint.
07:07Rey, hold on.
07:10Rey Mysterio holding on.
07:12Look at this.
07:13A springboard dropkick takes Jericho down.
07:16And Nowitzki looks like he's got enough courage to make his way into the ring.
07:21Three, two, one.
07:26He thinks you know me.
07:27I don't know if he thinks so.
07:30Another SmackDown star, JR.
07:32It is.
07:35The young man from Toronto.
07:37This will even up the odds.
07:38Look at him.
07:40Jericho, Nowitzki both going down.
07:42And SmackDown's Edge taking it to Nowitzki and Jericho.
07:47Rey Mysterio up on the top turnbuckle to the right of your screen.
07:52Mysterio with a Hurricanrana taking down Jericho.
07:58And now Jericho.
08:02He went through the rope slopes, not over the top.
08:05If they had sailed Jericho over the top rope instead of through the top of the middle rope,
08:09Jericho would have been eliminated.
08:11Look at this now.
08:11But Jericho is not eliminated.
08:14And now Rey Mysterio and Edge, former tag team partners.
08:18Oftentimes, tag team partners this very day.
08:21And Edge hit with a spear.
08:23His lightning quick tag team partner, Nowitzki.
08:26He missed it.
08:28Rey looking for that 619.
08:30Edge couldn't connect.
08:34Mysterio balancing on that top rope.
08:36And Edge, I think one foot hit.
08:39One foot did hit.
08:41SmackDown referee and the Royal Referee agreeing only one foot hit.
08:44So, so Edge is still in the competition.
08:46That was mighty close.
08:48Edge is the lucky man right now to still be in the Royal Rumble.
08:50Look at Rey Mysterio.
08:53The Hurricanrana blocked into the powerbomb by Edge.
08:58As these two SmackDown stars, folks, this match is truly every man for himself.
09:05There can only be one winner.
09:06But that one winner has the opportunity of a lifetime awaiting him at WrestleMania.
09:13I think Chris Jericho may be, well, how do you say it?
09:17He had his life certainly dimmed over there when he went down the middle of the top rope.
09:21Nowitzki kind of climbing back in the ring.
09:25Uh-oh.
09:29I wonder if this is the real entrance for Christian.
09:32I think so.
09:33Christian entering at number six.
09:38And Christian going right.
09:39What a minute. He's hugging his brother, Edge.
09:43That's gotta be just, that can't be, that can't be sincere.
09:46No, no, it's a brother. It's definitely.
09:48He's trying to, he's trying to hook up with a partner here.
09:51Partner up, all right.
09:52And, oh, what?
09:54Edge is taking down his brother Christian.
09:56What kind of brother is that?
09:58It is every man for himself.
10:01But not a brother against brother, come on.
10:03Oh, yeah, it is.
10:04And look out, Nowitzki.
10:06And he's, oh, oh.
10:08You didn't get either one of them, Red.
10:09Turn around.
10:10Nowitzki thought he eliminated both Edge and Rey Mysterio.
10:14Come on, Red, you're not so smart.
10:16Turn around, you didn't get either one of them.
10:19Oh, my God.
10:20The dropkick, and then Edge landed right on Nowitzki's face.
10:25What an error.
10:26Yeah, Madden to come body back.
10:29They could do with some of those brain cells.
10:32You all right, Chris?
10:35Rey Mysterio now peeled off on Nowitzki.
10:38And Nowitzki has to stay up for school here.
10:43Oh, a Bronco Buster by Rey Mysterio on the Harker Graduate.
10:49Takes 9, 10 seconds to the seventh entrance in the Royal Rumble match.
10:543, 2, 1.
10:57Time.
10:59Nowitzki's got a migraine headache.
11:01I can assure you.
11:01Uh-oh.
11:02Another SmackDown superstar going after the WWE Tag
11:06Champions, Chavo Guerrero.
11:09Look at that entrance.
11:10And Chavo going right for Rey Mysterio.
11:14Again, no pinfalls, no submissions, no countouts, or disqualifications.
11:19Only one way to be eliminated, over the top rope,
11:22and both feet touching the floor.
11:23What about this 619?
11:26Oh, got him.
11:28There you go.
11:29Rey Mysterio from San Diego with that 619 calling home.
11:35619!
11:38And here comes another one.
11:41He just made another call.
11:43And Rey Mysterio with another 619.
11:46This time on Christian.
11:47And Mysterio caught in midair by Nowitzki.
11:51Rey trying to fight out of this thing.
11:53And Nowitzki's eliminated.
11:55But Mysterio's feet did not touch the floor.
11:58Rey stood on the apron.
12:00He's still alive.
12:02That's for Christopher Nowitzki.
12:05Now he's both alive.
12:06Jericho just eliminated Rey Mysterio.
12:11Nowitzki's gone.
12:12And thanks to Jericho, so is Snap Nails Rey Mysterio.
12:17Well, it took a while.
12:18I was wondering where Jericho was.
12:19But he's finally, he looks like he's recuperated.
12:22Came right back in and eliminated Rey Mysterio rather unceremoniously.
12:29Three seconds.
12:32Who's number eight?
12:34And it is Tajiri, the Japanese Buzzsaw.
12:39Ha ha!
12:40Look at the look on his face.
12:41He can't wait to get the Royal Rumble.
12:43Tajiri's an awesome competitor for some dangerous kicks.
12:46And you're seeing those kicks right here and now.
12:48He first took down Jericho.
12:50Boom!
12:51Shot there on Christian.
12:54Tajiri, you're one of my favorite announcers on SmackDown as well,
12:57you know?
12:58I know that's monotonous.
12:59Oh, you're right.
13:00I get these two mixed up.
13:01Watch that program.
13:02It's very good.
13:03I know it.
13:04Attempted by Chavo Guerrero.
13:05Oh, oh, look at this.
13:06Modified airplane spin.
13:07Not octopus positions.
13:08I don't think Chavo's in it.
13:09I'm sure he's got a name.
13:10Somebody will correct me later.
13:11Head scissored by Tajiri.
13:12And Christian trying to put Tajiri over the top of the rope.
13:13He's got it.
13:14He's got it.
13:15He's got it.
13:16He's got it.
13:17He's got it.
13:18He's got it.
13:19He's got it.
13:20He's got it.
13:21He's got it.
13:22He's got it.
13:23He's got it.
13:24He's got it.
13:25He's got it.
13:26He's got it.
13:27He's got it.
13:28He's got it.
13:29He's got it.
13:30He's got it.
13:31He's got it.
13:32He's got it.
13:33He's got it.
13:34He's got it.
13:35He's got it.
13:36He's got it.
13:37He's got it.
13:38He's got it.
13:39He's got it.
13:40He's got it.
13:41He's got it.
13:42He's got it.
13:43He's got it.
13:44He's got it.
13:45He's got it.
13:46He's got it.
13:47He's got it.
13:48He's got it.
13:49He's got it.
13:50He's got it.
13:51He's got it.
13:52He's got it.
13:53He's got it.
13:54He's got it.
13:55He's got it.
13:56There's some teethering on that top rope.
13:58Rebuilding the Glory!
14:07Here comes a very disturbed and dangerous human being.
14:10Bill DeMott.
14:12And Bill DeMott knocking down Tajiri.
14:15A bit and rubbing individually.
14:17Very powerful.
14:18He may be one of the most powerful man that's going to be in this entire Royal Rumble.
14:22And I'm not going to say for the better.
14:24DeMott is a rugged, nasty individual.
14:27Big athletic 280-pounder.
14:30Just overpowering and hammering anything that's breathing
14:34and moving in the ring.
14:37Evans, believe it's to the king of the world.
14:41He's going to go for one of these other 28 superstars.
14:44Bill DeMott's going to have to go on that list.
14:46Come on, Jericho.
14:48DeMott looking at his ropes.
14:51DeMott making his royal rumble debut here.
14:56Jericho.
14:57No, no, he's still in.
14:58Jericho landed right on the apron.
15:00Did you see with what ease DeMott just threw Jericho over that top rope?
15:03That DeMott's a big stud, let me tell you.
15:06He's a 340-pound pullback.
15:08He caught him.
15:10He's a sub 5'5", flat at 40.
15:12He's a stallion.
15:14But he's just something's happened to Bill DeMott.
15:17But look what it means to Bill DeMott's life.
15:20Not just his career, but his life.
15:22He's there for every minute of his royal rumble.
15:24To be in the main event at WrestleMania.
15:26And that's what's at stake here.
15:28One spot, one slot, and one only.
15:31And it only goes to the winner.
15:35Next entrant.
15:38Oh, boy.
15:39Are you ready for this, JR?
15:41And Tommy Dreamer, the ECW alumnus, is bringing somebody.
15:45He's got some toys with him.
15:48This royal rumble is about to get hardcore.
15:51And again, there's no disqualification here.
15:55Can be counted up, can be disqualified.
15:59Dreamer's got that kendo stick.
16:01Take that, Bill DeMott.
16:03Take that, Chavo.
16:04And one for you.
16:05Raw's Tommy Dreamer getting smacked down.
16:08And Raw's superstar, Jericho, got hit right in the face.
16:11And Jericho trying to go for the kick, but missed.
16:14Are you sure that's not for knocking?
16:17Oh, man.
16:18Hit this fist.
16:19Man, look at this.
16:20My god.
16:21He's a 280-pound pinata.
16:23It's Bill DeMott and DeMott beating out of the ring by Edge and Dreamer.
16:27That's the perfect way to put it.
16:29Beating out of the ring.
16:30Here we go.
16:31And Jericho, so to speak, with those trash can lids,
16:35from Jericho and Christian.
16:38Lee.
16:39Jericho is just-
16:43And Tommy Dreamer assaulted and then eliminated.
16:47I see something maybe developing there.
16:52An alliance between Christian and Jericho.
16:57Jerry springboarding off the ropes.
17:02I'll tell you what, stranger things have happened in the Royal Rumble.
17:07Mr. McMahon entered one year at number two.
17:09Only eliminated one guy all night.
17:11That was Stone Cold and won the Royal Rumble.
17:14Tajiri can win this thing.
17:16He has the ability, in my view.
17:19Oh, look at this.
17:21The tarantula tip.
17:23Oh, no.
17:24Jericho brought the tarantula and eliminates Tajiri.
17:28And you were saying Tajiri can win this thing?
17:31Well, I was wrong.
17:34Uh-oh.
17:35And here comes B-squared, former running buddy of John Cena.
17:42A little deep from his last SmackDown encounter with John Cena.
17:48Cena's buddy, I guess.
17:51Boy, here's a guy that reminds you sort of that Bill DeMott.
17:53I mean, just a big, powerful, raw bone, rugged individual.
17:57You know what?
17:58Actually, when you look at this Royal Rumble,
17:59in fact, you don't have to be the best wrestler to win.
18:02Uh-oh.
18:05And a nice showing.
18:07He just didn't make it very long.
18:09But you can still, you can be a brawler.
18:11You can whatever.
18:12Kind of fight to win this thing.
18:15Chavo holding on.
18:16I think only one foot hit.
18:18Oh, man.
18:20Edge has eliminated his fellow teammate from SmackDown,
18:24Chavo Guerrero.
18:26And Jericho, Jericho.
18:29Oh, no.
18:31Jericho shades of Shawn Michaels, 1995.
18:35And Jericho stays alive.
18:38And Jericho just eliminated both Edge and Christian.
18:43So much for the Jericho-Christian alliance I thought I saw developing.
18:48So much for the unity.
18:50Jericho with a big knot on his head from Tommy Dreamer's kendo stick shot.
18:55Look at that knot right between his eyes.
18:57It's like a unicorn.
18:59So much for the Canadian unity.
19:02The young man from Winnipeg eliminates two from Toronto.
19:07And who's next?
19:09Uh-oh.
19:14They're on their feet.
19:19It's him.
19:20It's Rob Van Dam.
19:2315,338 just came out of their seats when they heard that music.
19:28And now Van Dam and Jericho.
19:30Two world superstars.
19:32Van Dam going upstairs.
19:34Going downstairs.
19:35This is a roundhouse kick.
19:37Oh, straight kick off Jericho right in the face.
19:40Another big busted open knot on his forehead.
19:44That thing's gonna get bigger as this night goes on.
19:46This ain't ballet here in the Royal Rumble.
19:48The 15th Royal Rumble well underway.
19:51The road to WrestleMania has begun.
19:54The reverse elbow by RVD.
19:56High-risk offense.
19:58Taking down Jericho.
19:59Again, no head cover.
20:00And no submissions here.
20:02I know things don't look good for Jericho right now,
20:04but you've got to get the devil's due.
20:06He said he's gonna beat Shawn Michaels again.
20:08Rolling thunder.
20:09Jericho's beating everybody else so far.
20:11Can he take care of Rob Van Dam?
20:13Van Dam making his second Royal Rumble appearance.
20:15And what a knockout shot.
20:17Dude, I'm kidding.
20:18Almost a modified version of that Shining Wizard
20:20that Hurricane Helms, who's watching down at the world, uses.
20:23How did that not poke Jericho's lights out?
20:26How badly does Jericho want to be in the main event of WrestleMania?
20:30I think we saw how desperate he was
20:32when he assaulted Shawn Michaels with the low fall
20:35and the steel chair shot.
20:36And the fight's about to open.
20:37The truth of the matter is...
20:39Oh, there you go!
20:40The hold is gone!
20:41No, it's not!
20:42What Jericho wants to do is follow up.
20:44Look at that from Shawn Michaels.
20:47And Van Dam almost eliminated Jericho.
20:52Uh-oh!
20:53Are you ready for some attitude?
20:56Version 1.
20:59Matt Hardy, whether he's a disciple there
21:02or whatever you call him, he's a follower.
21:04Ben and Moore, who's not in the Royal Rumble,
21:06as best I know,
21:08Matt strongly dislikes Buckner,
21:10and he's not too crazy about Rob Van Dam either.
21:14Matt Hardy puts a knockdown.
21:16Taking down Rob Van Dam.
21:19I think he just told Chris Jericho,
21:21come on, let's get Rob!
21:23A double team here.
21:24Jericho and Matt Hardy,
21:27at least for the moment, on the same page.
21:29Neither can be trusted.
21:31I know it's every man for himself,
21:33but if you get a chance,
21:34this is the smartest thing to do.
21:36If you can't get a two-on-one situation,
21:38you gotta try to get everybody eliminated,
21:40but yourself.
21:41And somebody will help you eliminate somebody.
21:43More power to him.
21:44Jericho told Matt just then,
21:46let's double team him.
21:47And that's exactly what's happened here.
21:49A little double team effort,
21:51and Van Dam, a board to contact,
21:53but Matt Hardy does not.
21:54Another roundhouse heel kick,
21:56knocking down Jericho.
21:58A front face shot by Van Dam,
22:00and Van Dam having to fight off two men here.
22:05Van Dam, I know, you're right,
22:06he's gotta fight off two men,
22:07but look at King of the World there,
22:09he's gotta be exhausted.
22:10Jericho's been in there from the opening bell.
22:14Matt Hardy was our 13th entry.
22:17Jericho, nobody home.
22:19Jericho, enter number two.
22:21Spinning heel kick by Rob Van Dam,
22:23knocking down Chris Jericho.
22:25Jericho was battered and wounded,
22:27and now Van Dam going up top.
22:29Van Dam, the master of a five-star cross class.
22:34He hit all five of them.
22:35Oh, he hit all of them.
22:37He hit Van Dam on Jericho,
22:39and Matt Hardy now trying to take advantage
22:42of Van Dam's amazing agility,
22:44able to hook that top rope.
22:46Those educated feet,
22:47I think some of his toes grabbed that top rope.
22:49Latino heat.
22:51Hey, Latino heat!
22:55Eddie Guerrero, another SmackDown superstar,
22:59and one half of the WWE Tag Champions,
23:02has just entered a fray,
23:04hammering on Rob Van Dam,
23:06who has been beaten down by Jericho and Matt Hardy.
23:10Jericho is wounded,
23:12that huge golf ball-sized knot on his head
23:15with a kendo stick.
23:16Eddie Guerrero and Matt Hardy getting it on,
23:18every man for himself.
23:19Look at Eddie Guerrero go.
23:20I've missed him since he left Raw.
23:22I'm just saying Latino heat!
23:26He's still hot.
23:27Guerrero's in for the ride,
23:28and Van Dam trying to load up Uncle Eddie.
23:34And Van Dam looking for the Uncle Eddie
23:38halfway across the ring.
23:39Eddie Guerrero, and look at Van Dam.
23:42Muscle Guerrero right back to that top turnbuckle.
23:44Guerrero now is almost out of here,
23:47and Matt Hardy hammers Van Dam.
23:49Well, just luckily for Guerrero,
23:51that foot hooked that second rope,
23:53or he'd have been gone.
23:54Matt Hardy, I don't know if it's smart move or not,
23:56or maybe it was.
23:58Eddie Guerrero.
23:59Hey, you've got the real...
24:02Right on the face of Van Dam,
24:04Eddie Guerrero got more face than chin.
24:07Now Matt Hardy,
24:09a twist of fate
24:11on Eddie Guerrero.
24:13Nobody can trust him.
24:15Every Andre for himself, Eddie.
24:18All about the bad attitude.
24:20And it's no time to parade around the ring.
24:22Version one.
24:24Uh-oh.
24:26It's another Hardy.
24:28Look at this.
24:29It's Matt's brother, Jeff.
24:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
24:34That's right.
24:35It shouldn't be brother against brother.
24:37Team up.
24:38What?
24:39Come on, Jeff, team up.
24:40We are halfway home of the Royal Rumble.
24:42Jeff Hardy to the 15th entrance.
24:45Singled out is brother Matt
24:47and the two young men
24:48from the state of North Carolina
24:50getting it on.
24:51A jawbreaker by Jeff.
24:53Like a sail.
24:55Brother against brother.
24:59These two men have...
25:01Oh, look out!
25:02No, no, no.
25:03Oh, look at that chin and more.
25:05He's trying to help Matt
25:07stay in this match.
25:09That's not fair.
25:10That's a smart move.
25:11I thought you said anything
25:12going into this match.
25:13Well, it is, but it's not fair.
25:16Jeff Hardy to the 15th entrance
25:18in the Royal Rumble.
25:20And Jeff!
25:22A twist of fate
25:24from Jeff to his brother Matt.
25:26Both these men have eliminated each other
25:28and Matt just rumbles.
25:29You know what's coming.
25:30Wait a minute now.
25:31Shannon Moore trying to get out of the way.
25:33You're not even in this match.
25:34That may not be fair.
25:37He's willing to sacrifice himself.
25:39And he did!
25:40He lost one time.
25:42Right on Shannon Moore.
25:44Right through to brother Matt Hardy
25:47from Jeff Hardy.
25:49Pedigree of a dropkick on Jeff.
25:52We got another contestant.
25:55Uh-oh.
25:57Well, here comes about 400 pounds.
26:00Three-minute warnings.
26:02Rosie, I want you to tell me.
26:04I want you to look in the ring.
26:06I want you to look at all those superstars
26:08in the Royal Rumble and tell me one of them
26:10is going to be able to throw this guy
26:12over the top rope.
26:13I'm not going to make any predictions on that.
26:15It's going to take more than one.
26:17You're right there.
26:18And Matt Hardy about to be eliminated.
26:22And Rosie, that's 400 pounds.
26:25He is an animal.
26:26There's no doubt about that.
26:28And Rosie from Raw.
26:33Squaring off with Rob Van Dam.
26:35And Van Dam needs those kicks to go downstairs.
26:38You know what's great about these Royal Rumbles?
26:40What's that?
26:41One of the few times now that we get to see
26:43the Raw superstars.
26:44Oh, man!
26:46What a kick, but flexibility.
26:48Pulling him off the ropes.
26:50A kick, but flexibility from a 400-pounder.
26:53That was Raw on Raw right there.
26:56That was a raw kick to the face.
26:58Hey, hey, hey, there he goes.
27:01Matt Hardy hanging on.
27:03And we have had a lot of near falls, if you will,
27:06on these men hanging on.
27:08And hanging on for dear life.
27:10Thinking of hanging on for dear life,
27:11but King of the World Jericho
27:13still in the Royal Rumble.
27:15Who started this thing?
27:17You know, hanging in there.
27:23Because they are a seven-team competitor.
27:30Oh, baby!
27:31And the testicles are on their feet.
27:33Those fans of Test.
27:35Testicles have feet?
27:37Oh, I know what you mean.
27:38The fans of Test.
27:40You're looking at Stacey again like you...
27:42She's got feet, and she's got legs
27:45that go all the way up and make it, well...
27:48All right, we got it.
27:49We know about the anatomy.
27:51And look at this, Test.
27:526'7", 280.
27:55With his marketing director, Stacey, at ringside
27:57looking on approvingly.
27:59And Test has come in
28:01and has meant nothing but business.
28:03He's fired up.
28:04If you hang out with Stacey Keibler,
28:05that'd keep you fired up, wouldn't it?
28:07Test stayed the longest in the 2000 Royal Rumble
28:10before it was won by The Rock.
28:13Look out.
28:14Look out there.
28:17Test almost smashed Miss Jericho right out of the ring,
28:20but Jericho's got his leg under that bottom rope.
28:23Test coming in at number 17.
28:26And now you're getting in those promised land of entrance.
28:30When you get around that 20 mark, from 20 on,
28:33you've got a hell of a chance of winning this thing
28:36and earning a main event spot at WrestleMania.
28:40You know, I'm predicting that...
28:42Well, he's made a believer out of me.
28:44I'm predicting that Jericho's gonna win this thing.
28:46Well, he may do it.
28:48He may do it.
28:49He's hung in there thus far.
28:51He's got a long, long way to go.
28:54He's been emulating HBK,
28:56but now he's gonna emulate Vince McMahon.
28:58Yo, yo, yo.
28:59Thug-onomic style.
29:01Nah, nah, put down your tea parties.
29:03Get away from your John Hancocks.
29:05I'm rocking this Thug-onomic style.
29:09Yo.
29:11Besides open mics,
29:13one thing that gets me boiled is an old-school 30-man battle royal.
29:17I'm gonna win this.
29:18I'm gonna make my impression.
29:20Show Vinny Mac that I got ruthless aggression.
29:22The odds were even until you chose me.
29:25Now it's 29 dudes and one ruthless MC.
29:28Yo, it doesn't matter, kid,
29:30cos I ripped your nose off.
29:32I could batter you naked with no clothes off.
29:34Kid, what you talking about?
29:36Three reasons I'ma win this.
29:38Reason number one, I cut you up like cucumbers.
29:40Reason number two, as you can't approach this,
29:43I'll be choking you like Spree will be choking coaches.
29:46Reason number three, it's hard for me to explain to you,
29:49but I'ma win tonight and go on to WrestleMania.
29:52The Royal Rumble's just another test.
29:54I got the pass.
29:55Y'all, do it like a kid with one leg.
29:57You half-assed.
29:58Yo, what you talking about, kid?
30:00You can't touch this.
30:01Throw the double clutches if you're down with untouches.
30:04Yo, it's my year.
30:05I suggest you take the year off.
30:07I'm sick like Tyson was when he bit Holyfield's ear off.
30:12It doesn't matter, kid.
30:14Yo, you should stop to beat me.
30:16My style's like a swollen penis.
30:18You can't beat me.
30:19Ah!
30:20Do you like the rap, JR?
30:2290 seconds of what he held his say.
30:25Word to your mother.
30:26I'm not gonna repeat that last line.
30:27Van Dam coming out after John Cena.
30:30Cena's an amazing young athletic prospect on SmackDown.
30:34He is a future main event player.
30:37And you're in the main event at WrestleMania
30:39if you can win the Royal Rumble match.
30:41Cena's got his whole career ahead of him.
30:43A great young prospect.
30:45But he robbed for damn near 90 seconds.
30:47Well, what's wrong with that?
30:48He's still in the Royal Rumble.
30:50Here comes a proud member of King Angle,
30:53Marley Haas, from Exeter, Oklahoma,
30:56McGregor to Seton Hall.
30:59Another amateur All-American.
31:01And he's hammering away
31:03on his SmackDown brethren, Matt Hardy.
31:06I'm gonna tell you something.
31:07Charlie Haas is special.
31:09Anybody, I mean, you just know it
31:11because Kurt Angle picked him out.
31:13Kurt Angle's recognized the same quality
31:15and ability as Kurt Angle
31:17in Charlie Haas.
31:18Charlie is a Haas, no doubt about it.
31:20Again, a great amateur from Oklahoma.
31:23The Seton Hall degree.
31:25Academic All-American.
31:27But I'll tell you what,
31:28this thing about academics here,
31:29exchange right hands with a forehand hammer.
31:32Hold it, hold it.
31:33Did you say he's from Oklahoma?
31:34Yes, and he's an Academic All-American?
31:36What are you trying to get to?
31:38Basketball.
31:39Oh, yeah.
31:40Okay.
31:41Seton Hall.
31:42No problem.
31:43Van Dam and Tim Hardy
31:45exchanging those right hands.
31:47Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
31:48Tess is in trouble over there.
31:51Van Hardy trying to put Tess out.
31:54Jeff Hardy, oh, there you go!
31:56And there goes Jeff.
31:57Franz Fern, Jeff Hardy,
31:59the daredevil from Cameron, North Carolina,
32:02has been eliminated.
32:04Jeff came in at 15.
32:06Those high-flying maneuvers from Jeff Hardy.
32:09Van Dam pushing Jeff Hardy off that top turnbuckle.
32:14Again, every man for himself here.
32:16Eddie Guerrero walking the turnbuckle
32:19into the Hurricanrana,
32:21taking down Chris Jericho.
32:23There's no heat!
32:25Jericho's got a throbbing head.
32:28Maybe a concussion.
32:32Speaking of throbbing,
32:33and here comes a man that has been in more Royal Rumbles
32:36than any athlete in WWE history.
32:39Really?
32:40Rikishi has been in eight.
32:42But you know what?
32:43He's never won one.
32:45He has not.
32:48Rikishi eliminated more men in the 2000 Royal Rumble
32:53than anybody.
32:54He eliminated seven men by himself.
32:57He would like nothing better than to change his luck
32:59here in the 2003 Royal Rumble.
33:02And, of course,
33:04he'd love to be on that road to WrestleMania.
33:06And look at this.
33:08The kinship of Rikishi and Rosie.
33:13No love lost in this.
33:15What the hell is Shannon Moore doing?
33:16I'm just wondering if we're gonna see any relative
33:18be able to get a little closer.
33:20Shannon Moore just...
33:23A little bit of teamwork there from Rosie and Rikishi.
33:30Rosie and Rikishi working together.
33:34Rosie turned Rikishi inside out with that clothesline.
33:38And it looked like Shannon Moore and Matt Hardy
33:42were gonna get a baseball.
33:45And now look at John Cena.
33:47Cena and Rikishi.
33:48Rikishi can't touch this or that.
33:51They have developed quite the rivalry.
33:53Cena and Rikishi.
33:55Four, three, two, one.
33:58Time's up.
33:59Time's up.
34:00I'm on the mic with it, too.
34:02I'm on the mic with it, too.
34:04And here are business is about to pick up.
34:06Here's two guys that will get along.
34:09Here's the second member of the three-minute warning,
34:12Jamal, coming in at number 21
34:15in his Royal Rumble debut here tonight.
34:19Jamal and Rosie could...
34:21They could dominate this Royal Rumble from this point on.
34:23And Jamal going right to his brother in there, Rikishi.
34:27And Rikishi got the first shot in on Jamal.
34:32Watch it.
34:34Beef on beef there.
34:37Backside to belly.
34:39Hey.
34:40No.
34:41No, don't do it.
34:43No, don't do that.
34:46I wonder what Rikishi had for lunch today.
34:48Probably Jamal could tell us.
34:52Royal Rumble is live in 34 countries tonight.
34:56Officially in 150 countries on tape delay.
35:00And wherever you are, we want to thank you so much
35:03for inviting us into your home here tonight
35:05at the Royal Rumble.
35:06But, folks, we've got a long way to go.
35:08We're not going to cater it every year to the Royal Rumble.
35:10It's like Christmas all over.
35:13He's only coming once a year.
35:17Jamal laying it in on Rikishi with those big right hands.
35:21Now Rosie over to get him some as well.
35:24And Van Dam.
35:25Oh, Van Dam.
35:26Put the brakes on at the very last moment.
35:28Van Dam now going back up to the top.
35:34Uh-oh.
35:36And now, King, I can tell you without a doubt
35:39that business has picked up
35:41because the Big Red Machine has walked through his hellfire.
35:45He will bring the brimstone.
35:47And, King, the man that has eliminated more people
35:51in the Royal Rumble than any competitor in history.
35:5411 in 2001.
35:56No one has ever come close to that record.
35:59That big fried freak is about to heat up the Royal Rumble.
36:02You're right. Look at this.
36:04King Lashley eliminated 11 men in 2001.
36:09I think, though, as we look at this Rumble right now,
36:11there are probably more men left in there
36:13right at the moment than...
36:14Hey, wait a minute. Is that Rico?
36:16Rico, the mentor of a three-minute warning.
36:23King Lashley was very in in 2001
36:25before he was beaten by Stone Cold Steve Austin.
36:28The Rumble's only three-time winner.
36:30And there's no answer as to who's going to be eliminated.
36:33Either Rosie or Jamal out of this thing.
36:35All in a bit.
36:37After eliminating Jamal, double toe slam.
36:42A big, red machine.
36:44Looking to be in the main event.
36:47And Jericho.
36:49Jericho gone. Is he gone? I can't see him.
36:52Yo, hit a camera with Jericho.
36:54I think Jericho made it.
36:56He is still in it.
36:57A referee signal.
36:59Jericho is still alive.
37:02Now, we're keeping that king of the world.
37:05And here comes the second member of Team Angle,
37:08Sheldon Benjamin, another All-American
37:11from the University of Minnesota.
37:14Boy, look at these guys go right to work together.
37:16Sheldon Benjamin, national champion in wrestling.
37:19A national champion in track and field.
37:22They're part of Team Angle, and they are a true team.
37:25I've never heard of an athlete
37:27being an outstanding wrestler
37:29and being the fastest man in this division.
37:31Sheldon Benjamin, All-American.
37:33A hundred-yard dash
37:35after being an All-American in wrestling.
37:37Got world-class speed, and that may come in handy
37:39in this Royal Rumble.
37:41He's a world-class athlete.
37:42Kurt Angle has picked some good ones here.
37:45And Sheldon Benjamin holding on.
37:47Oh, look out, look out, look out!
37:49Matt Hardy holding on.
37:52You're seeing these men hold on
37:54with every ounce of strength in their bodies tonight,
37:57knowing what awaits them if they win this match.
38:00Which one of these men,
38:01if one of these men that are in the ring right now,
38:03JR, is gonna win this Royal Rumble?
38:06He's gonna start hitting down that rope to WrestleMania.
38:09Well, you can't count out Jericho
38:11because he's a survivor,
38:13but the Big Red Machine has come in and asserted himself.
38:17Well, earlier on, I said,
38:20I said Jericho for choice, and I'm gonna stick with him.
38:23The second choice became.
38:27How about Guerrero?
38:30Eddie Guerrero holding on from nearby.
38:33Can you make it, sucker?
38:37Wait!
38:39Wait a minute, that may change my choice.
38:43He's a former five-time WCW champion,
38:47a former five-time tag champion,
38:51but Booker T has never hit line.
38:55But Booker T has never hit line.
38:57The main event at WrestleMania in the Houston native,
39:00oh, my.
39:02Look at this!
39:04Booker T with a scissors kick.
39:07Booker feels it.
39:09He also felt that right hand of Matt Hardy.
39:12Booker T, entrant number 24 in the Royal Rumble match.
39:17Wait a minute, Booker T's feeling it.
39:19Not a Royal Rumble spinner, Eddie.
39:21Yes, we're gonna see it right here.
39:24Booker T's spinner rooting in the Rumble.
39:28And Booker T, oh!
39:30Booker T eliminated Eddie Guerrero.
39:32Eddie Guerrero may have hurt his knee going out.
39:35And now Booker T trying to build some momentum on Rikishi.
39:39Rikishi knocked down by Booker T.
39:41Ah! Ah!
39:45Knee angle still hanging in there.
39:47Feet still in Rikishi.
39:49Booker T just arrived.
39:50Matt Hardy's still there.
39:52Jericho's amazing.
39:54Come in number two.
39:56Booker T was number 24.
39:58I don't even have to tell you, Jericho's still in there.
40:00He's my pick. He ain't going nowhere.
40:02And Rob Van Dam's still alive.
40:04Van Dam came in at number 12.
40:07He is still alive.
40:09Oh, and clear away our 25th entrant
40:12into the 2003 Royal Rumble match.
40:16John Cena there as well, looking good.
40:19Oh!
40:22Hey!
40:24Oh, my!
40:26Boy, here's a big horse, let me tell you.
40:28This were or not, 0838s.
40:32The A-Train.
40:35That A-Train bomb.
40:3860 days, 350.
40:41Fat breaker on the All-American Benjamin of Team England.
40:46Boom!
40:48The A-Train is...
40:51He was taken by the backside.
40:53A thunderous kick by the 350-pound Rikishi.
40:58Jericho hammering.
40:59Oh, Jericho!
41:00Oh, he's gone.
41:01No, he's gone!
41:02He's going this time.
41:03Hold on!
41:06And Jericho's got nine lives.
41:11Oh, right in the eyes of Rikishi.
41:13It was terrible.
41:16That big A-Train came in here like a train wreck, didn't it?
41:19They did.
41:22Hey!
41:23There's Chuck Michaels!
41:24What's he doing?
41:25Chuck Michaels!
41:26He's not supposed to be out here!
41:28Chuck Michaels is...
41:29He's got the medical attention.
41:31He's been busted over by Jericho.
41:33He's got an illegal entrant.
41:34Michaels has been eliminated.
41:36This is not right.
41:37Michaels was the number one entrant.
41:40The long-awaited chair shot caused Michaels to be eliminated by Jericho.
41:45Oh!
41:46Jericho's gone.
41:48Cash eliminated Jericho after Shawn Michaels tattooed Jericho.
41:53Look out!
41:54And Michaels over the top.
41:56Michaels over the top right in Jericho's face.
42:00Get out of here!
42:01Hey, come on.
42:02You don't believe that he'd come to you like this.
42:04Come on.
42:05Come on.
42:06Jericho's got to remember, you don't hunt,
42:09but you can kill.
42:10Shawn Michaels is the reason that Jericho's been eliminated.
42:13This is not right.
42:14Well, Jericho got a taste of that medicine.
42:17Well, Jericho was my pick, damn it.
42:20You better pick somebody else.
42:23And here comes Maven.
42:25I'm not picking him.
42:27Hey, Maven, I looked at The Undertaker one year.
42:29I know, but I'm still going with Kane.
42:30Kane's my second pick.
42:32Kane got broken in half by The Undertaker,
42:35who has entered in this Royal Rumble match.
42:39Hey, Maven, come on.
42:40That's my second pick, Maven.
42:42There you go.
42:43Get it, Kane.
42:44Getting overpowering, Maven.
42:46Yeah!
42:47He's my pick!
42:48Ow!
42:49Ow!
42:52Filling back up.
42:53Shawn Michaels has made sure that Chris Jericho will not
42:56be in the main event of WrestleMania.
43:01Kane trying to put out Maven.
43:04There was a lot.
43:05That would have been against the rules.
43:08Oh, look at A-Train.
43:09Big slam by A-Train.
43:12How can that be allowed?
43:13How can Shawn Michaels be allowed to just come back in the ring
43:15like that?
43:16Tell me.
43:17I don't know.
43:18He's not allowed.
43:19Well, how'd he do it?
43:20I saw what he did.
43:21I didn't see what he did.
43:23Now Jericho's out of the Royal Rumble.
43:25Shawn Michaels threw Jericho over.
43:29Jericho just got derailed from the Road to WrestleMania.
43:33That's a two-down bat, isn't it?
43:36That Road to WrestleMania's got some curves and some books in a row.
43:40And we're seeing them here tonight.
43:4327.
43:45Three men have entered at 27 in the past that have won this thing.
43:50Who's this?
43:53Uh-oh!
43:55Well, it's Bizarro World.
43:59The longer they come, the more bizarre they get.
44:07And Goldust in at number 27.
44:11Goldust going right after Tangle.
44:14Goldust on Raw.
44:16That's a power slam by Goldust.
44:20Goldust, that former tag team champion, on Raw just a few weeks ago.
44:26Oh, boy.
44:27And we have no disqualifications here.
44:28It's legal.
44:29It's legal.
44:30Whoa!
44:31Still hurts like hell.
44:34He's had a rematch.
44:37Hard right hand by Goldust.
44:39Teeing off on Charlie Haas of Team Angle.
44:46Catering another Team Angle.
44:49Goldust eliminated by Haas and Shelton Benjamin.
44:54Team Angle eliminates Goldust.
44:57Two promising young men there, Team Angle.
45:00Two great athletes.
45:02Two pure wrestlers.
45:04Unfortunately, one of those great athletes,
45:07two pure wrestlers, is down to Seko right now.
45:11Get that Seko.
45:13Booker T.
45:14Booker T.
45:15Are you going to make it to WrestleMania?
45:18Booker T.
45:19Fighting for everything.
45:20Oh, Team Angle.
45:21Team Angle.
45:22Both men eliminated.
45:23Booker T.
45:24First Goldust.
45:25Now Booker T.
45:26Team Angle's on a roll.
45:29I'm changing my picks there.
45:30Just like I said, Team Angle's going to win this thing.
45:33You've got to work for the team.
45:34Yeah, you can.
45:35Well, he's covered by Van Dam.
45:38Uh-oh.
45:39Oh, my God.
45:40You talk about a raw animal.
45:42A 317-pound animal, ladies and gentlemen.
45:46I chose Batista.
45:47That's my pick.
45:48Batista.
45:49He was my pick all along.
45:51Batista making his Royal Rumble debut.
45:54Six feet six, 317.
45:57Almost beheading John Cena.
46:00He may have repped the last round.
46:02I can get that dog.
46:04I shot that dog.
46:06What did you just do?
46:07He's ramping up.
46:09Embarrassing himself, isn't he?
46:10Yes.
46:11Look at Batista, though.
46:12He's not going to embarrass himself.
46:14Nothing pretty about Batista.
46:15That's my new pick.
46:16Straight away aggression.
46:18And Tess trying to pick that leg up.
46:20Wait a minute.
46:21What's Tess doing?
46:22Cole Nelson slammed by Tess.
46:23Taking down Batista.
46:26Yes.
46:27Oh, Batista.
46:28Hang in there.
46:29Hang on, Batista.
46:30He got that big arm.
46:32He ain't going nowhere.
46:33But Tess is going to the shower.
46:36Tess to the dismay of the testicles.
46:40Tess fans.
46:41Tess is eliminated by Batista.
46:43And Batista has been the 350-pound Rikishi.
46:47We got some still in there.
46:49There's A-Train.
46:50Still got some attitude going.
46:53I remember the winner meets his grand champion.
46:56Oh, Rikishi is gone.
47:01There's my pick right there.
47:03Batista.
47:04And Batista picks up.
47:06I'm going to stick by that one, too.
47:07Batista came out here, didn't he?
47:08I'm going to pick A-Train.
47:09I like him.
47:10A-Train's really a nice guy.
47:11He'll give you the hair off his back.
47:12You pick more women than you do wives.
47:17Oh, my.
47:18Here comes the pain king.
47:20Here comes the man that beat the Big Show earlier tonight
47:23to earn this opportunity into the Royal Rumble.
47:26And Brock Lesnar is coming out number 29.
47:31Forgot about Brock Lesnar.
47:33Batista.
47:34And Brock Lesnar knocking down his former teammate,
47:36Sheldon Benjamin.
47:38Hammering away at Seton Hall.
47:40And T-Man goes Charlie Hawks.
47:42Foundos leaving.
47:44How many of you guys have tried to avoid running into the arm
47:47of Brock Lesnar?
47:49Lesnar, the former All-American from the University of Minnesota.
47:52Former national champion.
47:53The youngest man to ever be WWE champion.
47:56And Kane.
47:57And Jamal.
47:59Two huge men trying to eliminate Kane.
48:02And Team Angle trying to eliminate Brock Lesnar.
48:05And they may do it right here.
48:07Lesnar eliminated both members of Team Angle.
48:11Brock Lesnar just eliminated both host and Benjamin.
48:15Oh, boy.
48:17Oh, and a five.
48:19And a five to the outside.
48:22Little manhandle.
48:24Oh, the damn Brock Lesnar.
48:26Just manhandled Matt Hardy.
48:30He's got the power.
48:32Take it out.
48:33That's it.
48:34Thank goodness Team Angle is still hanging around.
48:38Stay away from Brock Lesnar.
48:40Scissors kick by the entry.
48:43350 pounds, 6'8".
48:47The winner of this match will meet his brand's champion
48:50in the main event at WrestleMania.
48:53There's some monsters in there down there.
48:58Huge individuals.
48:59Here comes number 30.
49:01I'll give you a guess.
49:04Ah!
49:07Oh, no.
49:08He may be the biggest and the baddest of all time.
49:15He's back.
49:20The phenom known as The Undertaker.
49:25Making his return to competition.
49:28Just being injured by the big show.
49:34Yes, he's back.
49:36The conscience of the WWE can go to WrestleMania
49:42in the main event if he can win this match.
49:46And there are no more entrants.
49:49What you see is what you get on the road to WrestleMania
49:53at the Royal Rumble here.
49:55Every entrant now has come to the ring.
49:57The Undertaker was number 30.
49:59The Undertaker with broken hands.
50:02And he is whipping some ass like a government mule here.
50:09And there goes Cena.
50:11One huge right arm from The Undertaker.
50:14Cena's out of here.
50:16And those two blows to The Undertaker.
50:19And there goes the 350 pounder, Jamal.
50:23My God, The Undertaker is walking tall here.
50:26Oh, look, look.
50:29Maveen eliminated The Undertaker last year
50:31and then got broken in half.
50:40The Undertaker drilling Maveen.
50:43This is really what should have happened last year.
50:47Hi, Maveen.
50:49And Maveen eliminated emphatically by The Undertaker.
50:54A-train.
50:55A-train bomb.
50:57The A-train bomb on The Undertaker.
51:00A high impact move.
51:02This A-train is a big old monster, let me tell you.
51:05And Kane sent for the ride by Brock Lesnar,
51:07who can't connect one blow.
51:09There's Kane, the big red machine.
51:11Can he get it?
51:12Yes, he does.
51:13Toe slam.
51:14Toe slam by Kane.
51:18Kane manhandled Brock Lesnar.
51:21We're down to six superstars.
51:23Batista, hang on.
51:26I don't know how much Brock Lesnar's got in his tank
51:28after that match earlier tonight.
51:30What a beautiful kick.
51:31Beautiful.
51:32Inside, outside.
51:33Upside down goes Rob Van Dam.
51:36Wait a minute, I thought these two guys said
51:38they weren't going to work together.
51:40Every man for himself.
51:41What happened to that?
51:42I think it's still every man for himself.
51:44It was damn A-train.
51:46A-train asserting himself.
51:50He'll hit you like a freight train.
51:51What?
51:53I don't know what you got to do here.
51:55A-train going to load up Kane.
51:57He's over three miles.
51:58And Van Dam saved Kane there.
52:01That's some high impact.
52:03And now the tag team, Van Dam and Kane,
52:06have eliminated the A-train.
52:08Good teamwork by Van Dam and Kane.
52:12He's off the track to WrestleMania.
52:14These guys are functioning as a team.
52:16They said they weren't going to do it,
52:17now they're doing it.
52:18Look at this.
52:19Good teamwork.
52:20Now Batista.
52:22Oh.
52:23Look at this.
52:26That shocks me.
52:29Why?
52:30He told him he was going to do it.
52:31I know it's every man for himself, but I didn't think.
52:34Oh, God.
52:35Now Batista almost beheaded Kane.
52:37After Kane eliminated R-V-D.
52:40And yes, I know it's every man for himself.
52:42And the two big bulls, the battling bulls,
52:45knocked each other down.
52:46Get up, Batista.
52:48Two big raw studs.
52:49Look at the two big raw studs.
52:50And now two big SmackDown studs are looking at each other.
52:54How in a cell.
52:55I'll never forget that Hell in a Cell match
52:57with Lesnar and The Undertaker as long as I live.
53:02They're ready to get it on.
53:03Here we go.
53:04Undertaker cut the fight.
53:06Undertaker has come here to win this Royal Rumble match.
53:08And Batista and Kane.
53:11Right side of the fight.
53:13Down to the silent bull.
53:14Lesnar and The Undertaker blindsided.
53:16Two superstars from Raw.
53:18Two superstars of SmackDown.
53:20In the final four here, we'll see who will go to WrestleMania
53:24and meet their champion in a minute.
53:26Come on, we gotta pull for Raw.
53:27Come on, Batista.
53:28Boom.
53:29Body shot.
53:30Undertaker breaking Batista.
53:33Body shot.
53:34Hard body shot.
53:35Fight back, Batista.
53:36Fight back.
53:37Batista may have busted some ribs there
53:39from those thunderous right hands.
53:41And a clear shot right to the temple.
53:43But Batista is still standing.
53:46Undertaker set up the ride.
53:48And a manhandle.
53:49Batista 317.
53:51Manhandling The Undertaker.
53:52Taking every shot that The Phenom could reach out.
53:55Undertaker's down.
53:56Brock's down.
53:57And now the two Raw guys, the two Raw superstars,
54:00double teaming the SmackDown superstar Lesnar.
54:03And again, I wonder what Lesnar's got left to take
54:06after that war with The Big Show earlier tonight.
54:09I think he's about to show us.
54:12Get away, Batista.
54:13Get away.
54:14317 pounder.
54:15Stay out of the way.
54:16Oh, no.
54:17Lesnar.
54:18Lesnar's got a second pick.
54:21Oh.
54:22That flies.
54:23King.
54:24Yeah, but he didn't go over the top rope.
54:26That took a lot out of Lesnar.
54:28Oh, look at now.
54:29Now, then.
54:30Now, then.
54:31Now, let's see it.
54:32Now, let's get it on.
54:33Let's see this fight.
54:34Let's see The Undertaker and Lesnar get it on.
54:37Well, here we go.
54:38Here we go now.
54:39Right hands by The Undertaker.
54:40A right hand by Lesnar.
54:41Who's going to flee?
54:42Who's going to go down?
54:43Look at these huge shots by these individuals.
54:44They're beating the hell out of each other.
54:45Are The Undertaker and Lesnar.
54:46They may take each other right out of the rumble.
54:47Yeah.
54:48Bam.
54:49What a shot.
54:50What a huge boot.
54:51Right to the face.
54:52Lesnar, it's over.
54:53It's over.
54:54It's over.
54:55It's over.
54:56It's over.
54:57It's over.
54:58It's over.
54:59It's over.
55:00It's over.
55:01It's over.
55:02It's over.
55:03It's over.
55:04It's over.
55:05It's over.
55:06It's over.
55:07It's over.
55:08It's over.
55:09It's over.
55:10It's over.
55:11It's over.
55:12It's over.
55:13It's over.
55:14It's over.
55:15It's over.
55:16It's over.
55:17It's over.
55:18Undertaker has the upper hand with his big, huge fist.
55:19Lesnar except for one of those earlier tonight against The Big Show.
55:20Well, Lesnar has got the upper hand with his huge right hand, with the huge right hook.
55:21He's got a ladder.
55:22The Undertaker almost was eliminated there.
55:23You can call it a break.
55:24Oh my God.
55:25This ain't no break.
55:26He's over the top.
55:27He's over the top.
55:28Undertaker's not looking for elimination.
55:29He's looking for extinction.
55:30A tombstone.
55:31He's looking for extinction, and the Tombstone, the Tombstone.
55:36Tombstone piledriver.
55:37Lesnar with a 20 inch neck, just got tested.
55:43He was dropped right on his head with a Tombstone piledriver by The Undertaker.
55:48No, no, no, Undertaker eliminates Batista.
55:52It's The Undertaker and his brother Kane and Brock Lesnar.
55:56Two SmackDown superstars, one Raw superstar left.
56:01Look at this, look at this.
56:04Don't tell me these two are gonna team up.
56:07I don't think I'll ever see this again, Kane, never.
56:10JR, this is the Royal Rumble.
56:12The winner of this is gonna be on the road to WrestleMania.
56:15Yes, the monster brother of Kane.
56:17The Undertaker.
56:18What?
56:18He outsmarted his brother Kane.
56:21And Batista coming back in with a steel chair.
56:25Batista's still in this.
56:26Batista's eliminated.
56:28That last shot, and Undertaker caught him.
56:32And Brock Lesnar, Lesnar, and yes, Brock Lesnar has won the Rumble.
56:37Brock Lesnar has eliminated The Undertaker.
56:39Here is the winner of the Royal Rumble match, Brock Lesnar.
56:45Look at The Undertaker, yeah, he got you, he got you, Undertaker.
56:50Brock Lesnar is still in the main event at WrestleMania.
56:56The road to WrestleMania has begun here at the Royal Rumble.
57:01The Undertaker can't believe it.
57:03All he can do is smile, he knows, yeah, he got you.
57:09But boy, what a big gotcha, because like you said,
57:12now Brock Lesnar is on the road to WrestleMania.
57:15And the road wasn't easy for Lesnar.
57:18First, he had to go through the 500-pound Big Show.
57:21And then he came and survived the Royal Rumble.
57:24But the question is, who will Lesnar face at WrestleMania?
57:30Kurt Angle's the man today, but will he be the man at WrestleMania?
57:35Now, wait a minute, what's gonna happen here?
57:39This could be another explosion.
57:41No, I think Undertaker's saying.
57:43That's why she got me, but next time you got the title, he wants shots.
57:53I think that's exactly what The Undertaker said.
57:55If you become the champion again, give me my opportunity.
57:58And I guarantee you Brock Lesnar will give The Undertaker that opportunity.
58:03The Undertaker has just delivered that chair shot on Batista.
58:07But he took it mind off Brock Lesnar just for a split second.
58:11And this is gonna kill Paul Heyman.
58:13This is gonna kill The Big Show.
58:15This is gonna kill Team Angle.
58:17Ladies and gentlemen, Brock Lesnar is going to WrestleMania.
58:21Here comes the pain, straight to the main event at WrestleMania.
58:26♪♪
