00:00So much looking forward to the showstopper Shawn Michaels against Chris Jericho, King.
00:07It's gonna be huge. Two massive egos. I don't know if Safeco Field is big enough to hold the egos of these two athletes.
00:14Let's go back all the way, well, to last year.
00:19Nobody was more excited to see HBK return to the ring than me.
00:24The heart and the courage that you showed the world was on the charts.
00:28Shawn Michaels is the world's champion. Do you believe in miracles?
00:33But Shawn, a lot has happened between the two of us ever since you first kicked me in the face last December.
00:38I mean, I have attacked you.
00:40Wait a minute. Look behind. Look at this.
00:42Shawn Michaels and a low blow by Jericho.
00:45You've attacked me.
00:46They're Shawn Michaels. They're Shawn Michaels. That's who Jericho.
00:49And everything in between. That's why I'm asking you.
00:52Come to this ring and speak to me face to face.
00:55Ask and you shall receive.
00:58You know, Shawn, I remember why I wanted to get in the business.
01:00That's because I wanted to be a wrestler so I could be Shawn Michaels.
01:05Here's your winner, HBK, Shawn Michaels!
01:11I don't know if there's ever been anyone in this industry that's had more charisma than that man.
01:16I mean, I wanted to be just like you, Shawn.
01:21But I also had the same desire and the same heart.
01:24And pretty soon people were saying that I was going to be the next Shawn Michaels.
01:30And it was the ultimate compliment at the time.
01:33But not now.
01:34I grew out of wanting to be the next Shawn Michaels.
01:39And I concentrated on becoming the first Chris Jericho.
01:43Can Jericho be this classless?
01:45No integrity whatsoever.
01:47Come on!
01:47There are the balls of Jericho on a defenseless young woman.
01:51This cannot happen here.
01:53No, don't stand there, Stacy!
01:54Look out!
01:55Shawn Michaels!
01:56Oh my God, what a shot!
01:58A two-shot right to the face of Shawn Michaels!
02:02You tried to be the hero one too many times, Michaels!
02:06You stupid son of a bitch!
02:08I want to end your career at WrestleMania!
02:18Look out!
02:19Off to Sweet Chin Music!
02:21I'll see you at WrestleMania, boy!
02:27So it's on!
02:29HBK, Chris Jericho at WrestleMania!
02:34Chris Jericho, a man takes responsibility for his actions.
02:39I am better than you, Shawn.
02:41A man doesn't hide underneath the ring and jump another man from behind.
02:47I'm more charismatic than you, Shawn.
02:50A man looks the other man in the eyes.
02:53My skills have surpassed yours.
02:56I want to end your career at WrestleMania!
03:01Chris Jericho, get ready, because I'm coming to fight!
03:18Yeah!
03:19No, no, no, no!
03:21Yeah!
03:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
03:34I like you, baby!
03:39The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
03:42Introducing first, The Winnipeg Phalanx of McDonaghy!
03:45weighing 220 pounds, Chris Jericho.
03:50What a night this could be, King, for Chris Jericho.
04:00He was the first undisputed champion.
04:05A kid that was actually born in New York City when his father was playing for
04:12the New York Rangers, but he grew up his whole life as a wrestling fan.
04:19And the one wrestler in Jericho's life that he emulated from day one
04:25is his opponent here tonight.
04:29That is huge, you're right.
04:31And do you know anything about these film cameras that are here tonight
04:34shooting WrestleMania in the movie, JR?
04:37WrestleMania in the movie.
04:40I mean, is Jericho gonna become a movie star here tonight as well?
04:45But he's already a rock star, at least in his own mind, is Van Fosse.
04:55I think you're cute.
04:59I know I'm sexy.
05:01From California, Texas, we introduce to you,
05:05from California, Texas, PCK, Shawn Michaels.
05:09I'm sexy.
05:11I'm damn sexy.
05:13Do you think that Shawn Michaels is ready to play?
05:17I'm not.
05:18Do you think that Shawn Michaels is fired up?
05:22Eddie.
05:24He has always been a show-stopper,
05:29but this man could be a show-stealer.
05:34What is this?
05:36What is this?
05:42He's from his own plantation.
05:44Look at him.
05:51Another one.
05:54Wait a minute.
05:57He does.
06:01The Cairo guy doesn't have a sense of humor.
06:04Well, this will work now.
06:11It was arguably a match-up.
06:14Oh, please.
06:15Every man I saw, a flashless act by Jericho.
06:19I wasn't bringing that to your attention.
06:22I just wanted to point out the look of jealousy on the face
06:26of the king of the world over there.
06:30Please, let this work.
06:35I was about to say, arguably both these men in different circles
06:40were considered, pound for pound, the best in the business.
06:46Shawn Michaels' wonderful career.
06:50He was the first ever Grand Slam champion,
06:53meaning he was the first man to win every championship
06:57the WWE has to offer.
07:01He had a severe back injury that necessitated major surgery.
07:06It looked like it had ended Shawn Michaels' career
07:10right after WrestleMania five years ago.
07:20He's back with a flash now.
07:26You know what?
07:27One thing about Shawn Michaels, I mean, somehow,
07:30I don't know if he transformed or what.
07:40Wow.
07:43But somehow, Shawn Michaels becomes a different,
07:47he becomes a different man at WrestleMania.
07:50And you gotta wonder if this entrance,
07:54with all this pyrotechnics,
07:56with these 54,000 plus fans sitting on their seats,
08:01maybe getting in the head of Chris Jericho.
08:05I don't think you have to wonder.
08:07And I think that face right there tells it all.
08:10Chris Jericho feels he's more charismatic than Shawn Michaels.
08:13He feels that his skills have surpassed those of Shawn Michaels.
08:16But when you hear 54,000 people roaring
08:20and standing on their feet for Shawn Michaels,
08:22it's gotta make you have second thoughts.
08:24Shawn Michaels, a first-bound Hall of Famer.
08:28There is such a thing.
08:29Yes, there is.
08:32This match just feels big, doesn't it, JR?
08:35It is big, Gene.
08:37What ran the stage of them all,
08:39where legends are made,
08:41where reputations are enhanced,
08:44where memories last forever.
08:47And that's exactly what this particular match
08:51is all about.
08:53To that man right there,
08:54he wants a career ending.
08:56He wants to end Shawn Michaels' career
08:58on the biggest stage of them all,
09:00right here at WrestleMania.
09:04Take down into the head scissors,
09:06both men up quickly.
09:09Wrestling? Wow.
09:14Almost as if that Jericho is obsessed
09:18with Shawn Michaels' success.
09:20Deep arm drag takedown.
09:22Shades of Ricky the Dragon Steamboat
09:24for those deep, crisp arm drag takedowns.
09:28Look, I think that Shawn Michaels
09:31is trying to show Chris Jericho
09:32that he's bored with Jericho's
09:34almost like Wrestling 101 tactics there.
09:39I think it's all about strategy
09:41and all about head games.
09:42Michaels is a veteran.
09:43What's the strategy?
09:44Is he starting out a match with a headlock,
09:46a takeover, an arm drag?
09:49What's wrong with him?
09:50You want him to show the puppies?
09:54Why wouldn't you start a wrestling match
09:56off with wrestling hoops?
09:58Well, I just haven't seen them in so long.
10:02Jericho and Michaels.
10:03Jericho leaving that head exposed.
10:06Michaels found it.
10:07There you go.
10:08Nice takeover.
10:09Michaels can't gain the advantage.
10:11Single leg takedown by Jericho.
10:14And again, both men back up quickly.
10:16Michaels looks in great shape.
10:17Michaels, the veteran from San Antonio.
10:22No, wait a minute. Go ahead.
10:24How's Jericho looking?
10:25Jericho looks great as always.
10:28I actually saw some people out here
10:29with ass-clown sound,
10:31ass-clown signs.
10:32I mean, how can you say that about Chris Jericho?
10:34He patented that term.
10:36You can't call Chris Jericho an ass-clown.
10:40Sad headlock rolled into the pinning combination
10:43by Jericho.
10:45Michaels going to go left side headlock.
10:48Michaels not taking any chances,
10:49at least here in the early going.
10:51A man that was the,
10:53at least the other half of a match of the years
10:56in the WWE from 93 to 97.
11:00Shoulder block by Jericho.
11:02The young man he calls Winnipeg, Manitoba home.
11:08Fantastic pace, quickness.
11:10And Michaels off.
11:13And he rocks right back to the right hand.
11:17And Jericho tossed outside.
11:22Man, Jericho, I've said it before,
11:24but that was the first time I actually saw it.
11:25He slapped the pace out of the mouth of Shawn Michaels.
11:28He's smart for you.
11:31Michaels sliding back in.
11:32Wait a minute.
11:34Michaels on the baseball slide
11:35as Jericho took his eye off the ball, so to speak.
11:43Jericho down between Michael Cole and Taz.
11:47A vaunted Spanish announcement.
11:59Situation where Jericho used Michaels' own momentum
12:02to roll through into a pinning predicament
12:04and then catch Michaels with a solid right hand.
12:07Nice heel kick by Chris Jericho.
12:11Both these guys, JR,
12:12with so much to prove in this match.
12:14I mean, after all that's been said,
12:16after all that's gone down between these two guys.
12:18I mean, Jericho promising everyone
12:20that he's gonna end Shawn Michaels' career
12:22here tonight at WrestleMania.
12:23That's, he's got some, you know,
12:25he's got a big mountain to climb there.
12:28Last time Shawn Michaels was in a main event environment
12:31at WrestleMania was 1998.
12:33He went in as the champion.
12:38Soon thereafter, had his back surgery.
12:40There's a hard iron quip.
12:42You gotta believe that somewhere down the road
12:44in this match that Jericho, as intelligent as he is,
12:48and he is very intelligent,
12:50will attempt to exploit that lower back,
12:53if possible, of Shawn Michaels.
12:56These Irish whips.
12:58Don't do that.
13:01I don't know how you land there before it doesn't hurt.
13:05Well, it's one of those things where
13:08the old saying, age and experience
13:11will sometimes overcome youth and ability.
13:17I think it's more like it.
13:18I think it's more like it.
13:19I think it's more like it.
13:20I think it's more like it.
13:21I think it's more like it.
13:22I think it's more like it.
13:23I think it's more like it.
13:24I think it's more like it.
13:25I think it's more like it.
13:26I think it's more like it.
13:28Shawn Michaels using a patented nature boy,
13:32Ric Flair, figured for a leg lock.
13:38Jericho trying to roll it over,
13:39reverse the pressure he does.
13:42Jericho now putting pressure on Michaels
13:44who quickly unhooks from the position
13:47before his legs take any more of a beating.
13:49And now, Michaels right back to work on that left leg of Chris Jericho.
13:59And Michaels goes shoulder first to the ring post.
14:02Shawn trying to catch himself with that momentum from Jericho.
14:07I don't, I think no avail for Shawn as far as the post is concerned.
14:13Both of these guys, it's still early in this match.
14:18Both of these guys, I think, it's still almost in the feeling out process.
14:22Both of these guys still trying to, skin the cat and press the other.
14:27Wait a minute, applying the head scissors and taking Jericho on the top.
14:34And Michaels with a plancha, the big cross body over the top.
14:40Now we're starting to see that vintage Shawn Michaels surfacing here.
14:43Shawn Michaels is one of the great high risk takers in the history of the game.
14:50A hard right hand by HBK as referee Charles Robinson.
14:57Uh-oh, Michaels going for the drop kick.
15:00But the walls of Jericho on the outside.
15:03Jericho, the walls on the outside.
15:07The referee in the ring has got, these men may be killing it out here today.
15:12What are they thinking?
15:14Get back in the ring.
15:15Michaels is being punished unmercifully.
15:19And Jericho back in the ring, breaks the count.
15:23But boy, oh boy, has the damage been done to that lower back of Shawn Michaels.
15:28The walls of Jericho applied outside.
15:32Well, Shawn Michaels brought this on himself.
15:34Why would you attempt to drop kick someone out on the floor?
15:37Look at this.
15:40Michaels now head back on a target in Jericho, not missing a trick.
15:47His deadly walls in Jericho, followed by two shots to the ring post.
15:53And this huge crowd not pleased with Jericho's tactics nor his attitude.
16:01But you know what this is almost like, Jerry.
16:02You know, when you watch the Discovery Channel sometimes and you see all the
16:07pride of lions, they've had the old lion as the, well,
16:12the leader of the pride for so many years.
16:14And then along comes that new young lion.
16:16And he's gonna finally test it.
16:18Whoa, he's gonna test the old lion, and that's what this is like.
16:22And I think this old lion's day may have come right here at WrestleMania 19.
16:26Springboard drop kick by Jericho.
16:31The laws of the jungle indeed carrying over to the squared circle here tonight.
16:37And now Shawn Michaels finds himself in a real gut check situation.
16:42And it certainly is not as if Michaels would ever quit.
16:46But will he, will his surgically repaired back be able to hold up?
16:52Look at this, I'm better than you, I'm better than you, I'm better than you.
16:58Jericho saying he's better than Michaels.
17:00I don't know if he's trying to convince Michaels or himself.
17:04No, believe me, Jericho believes him.
17:06Landing vertical suplex again, all that impact on that lower back of Shawn Michaels.
17:14You've been around Jericho.
17:15And now Jericho going for the cover.
17:16And Michaels kicks out, but just barely.
17:20You've been around Jericho enough to know, JR,
17:22that if you're not talking about him, he ain't listening.
17:24This guy goes to London Lane parks by himself.
17:27I mean, he is full of himself.
17:29He does believe that he's better than Shawn Michaels.
17:32Very egomaniacal, indeed, I would agree with that.
17:36And Shawn Michaels again, in a rather curious position, into the backbreaker.
17:41I'll tell you what, you've gotta hand it to Jericho, like him or not.
17:46This game plan, after injuring Michaels' lower back.
17:49Look, look at this cover.
17:50Well, that was just doing a little bit of mocking,
17:54a little bit of Shawn Michaels showboating.
17:58Key thing in this move here is look at the position of the right knee of
18:03Chris Jericho, posting into the spine of Shawn Michaels.
18:08That's a surgically repaired spine.
18:10I'm telling the referee, no, I'm not gonna give it up, now or ever.
18:16Shawn Michaels at one time,
18:18one of the most controversial figures in this business.
18:23He has had many life-changing situations in his life.
18:28He is a role model.
18:30He is a man that takes every day and counts his blessings.
18:36But boy, does Chris Jericho have an opportunity to further establish his legacy.
18:41Michaels trying to fight back.
18:42Shawn Michaels doing all he can for the rig of the eyes, stops that offense.
18:47Well, for so many years, Shawn Michaels, look at this, man.
18:53Foot clash, the lack of effect that slam was.
18:57For so many years, Shawn Michaels was the role model of that young man right there.
19:01He was Chris Jericho's role model.
19:04But now, as Chris Jericho has said, he feels he's surpassed that.
19:07He wants to be, well, he wants to be Chris Jericho,
19:10no longer in the shadow of Shawn Michaels.
19:13So what you have here is a match as referee Charles Robinson,
19:17again using that ten count, where it's not about being a number one contender or
19:22a champion.
19:24It's a very personal situation.
19:25It has been personal since last December with these two.
19:30And a right hand by Michaels.
19:32And again, Jericho walked into another right.
19:34I saw some blood on the face of Shawn Michaels.
19:40Look at that.
19:41Shawn Michaels like move there.
19:43And so does that.
19:45The flying forearm.
19:47And Jericho nips up.
19:49And is he- Look at this.
19:50Proud of himself.
19:52This is Shawn Michaels.
19:53And that's the original.
19:55Look out.
19:57Michaels sparring back.
19:59Was it real or was it memorex?
20:02Here comes the HBK, the showstopper, not again.
20:05And Michaels up again.
20:07In order to tongue and drop.
20:09And the showstopper is building some momentum here.
20:14Michaels sending Jericho for the ride.
20:17High elevation again.
20:18Another back body drop.
20:20And Shawn Michaels, no matter how his back may feel,
20:24he is feeding off this huge crowd.
20:27It's WrestleMania.
20:29WrestleMania time for Shawn Michaels.
20:31That's what, like I said, he becomes a different person at WrestleMania.
20:35Michaels sent in for the ride, but catches Jericho coming in.
20:38Michaels now.
20:40Look out.
20:40High risk.
20:41Moonsault.
20:42Look, is it going to be- My gosh.
20:47How close was that?
20:48That was a long time to count.
20:53Jericho is in big trouble now.
20:55Big trouble.
20:56Shawn Michaels has got to make a mistake or Jericho's got to hit something big.
20:59There's a roll up by, I know Jericho.
21:03Good move by Jericho.
21:05Michaels counters back.
21:07Jericho counters.
21:08Look out.
21:12Look out here.
21:13Boy.
21:14Going for the wall to Jericho.
21:16Look out.
21:17Look at the leg strength.
21:18Michaels using what leg and lower back strength that he had,
21:21perhaps in reserve, to counter the walls of Jericho.
21:27Nice standing switch.
21:28Jericho with the advantage of the waist lock, but not Paul.
21:32Northern Lights.
21:33Suplex on.
21:34And another near fall.
21:36Jericho trying to put on the weight for- Look at this.
21:39Look at the strength of Michaels.
21:42How in the world did Michaels have the strength to do that?
21:44And both men now trying to execute a backslide.
21:49Neither could.
21:50A knockdown by Jericho.
21:51Both men feeling it in this very intense,
21:57very athletic, one on one matchup.
22:01I can't help but think that Jericho may be feeling a little bit frustrated.
22:05I think Jericho, I think he's shot just about everything he has at Shawn Michaels
22:09so far and he hasn't got the job done.
22:11No.
22:12That may do it.
22:14That may do it.
22:17Jericho, here it comes.
22:19Lion Salt.
22:21Jericho hits the Lion Salt.
22:24He hit it a little low on his own abdomen.
22:26Having trouble making the cover.
22:28Hooks the far leg and Michaels again with a long two count.
22:36Jericho hooks up and Michaels again refuses to stay down.
22:41This is, I don't know, this is not good for Jericho's ego.
22:46Look it, there's the frustration starting to show now.
22:50Shawn Michaels kicking out of the Lion Salt.
22:53Jericho can't believe it.
22:54We can only imagine, we can only guess how badly Shawn Michaels' back
22:59must be feeling right now.
23:01Jericho, that's a tactical error there.
23:05Fatigue must be setting in.
23:06Look at, no, no, no.
23:10A huge mistake by Shawn Michaels, or just a brilliant, a brilliant move by Y2J.
23:17It looked like Michaels was going for a hurricane run.
23:19It was countered into the walls.
23:22An excruciatingly painful maneuver.
23:26And he's got Shawn Michaels a long way from any of those ropes.
23:31Jericho has beaten the best the business has to offer in this maneuver.
23:36Jericho can't believe that either.
23:44Jericho held on for just a little bit longer, utilizing that referee's count.
23:50And now Jericho doing the smart thing for him.
23:54And Michaels inside cradle.
23:56He got a two count again.
23:58Another near fall.
23:59Michaels perhaps out of desperation, able to execute an inside cradle.
24:04Some call it a small package.
24:06These two guys are so similar.
24:08They're so alike.
24:08It's gotta be almost like wrestling yourself.
24:10They know every move each other's gonna do probably before the other does it.
24:15Double underhook into the backbreaker, and Michaels holding his back and ribs.
24:19And now Jericho.
24:21What's he gonna do here?
24:22The pressure of the two.
24:27Jericho up on top.
24:29Look out.
24:32Jericho, a reverse elbow from the top turnbuckle, found it smart.
24:37Yes, it did.
24:38That could do it.
24:38Come on.
24:40Wait a minute.
24:40You gotta be kidding me.
24:42We're not kidding.
24:44Yeah, believe your eyes.
24:45You're seeing it.
24:46His impersonation, the most sincere form of flattery.
24:50Well, not when you can do it better than the original Sweet Chin Music.
24:55We got it.
24:57Jericho just almost took Michaels' head off with Michaels' own Sweet Chin Music.
25:05What a way to lose this, baby.
25:07Wait a second, he didn't lose it.
25:08But wait a minute, that's worth one more look.
25:11Look at this, JR.
25:14Watch and listen.
25:14You can't tell me that Shawn Michaels' Sweet Chin Music is any better than that.
25:24Certainly more impact than we saw in that Bernard Hopkins fight last night.
25:28How hard shot that was.
25:30And Michaels, at least he's standing, but for how long?
25:33Don't ever compare a fight to WrestleMania, JR.
25:36Come on.
25:36Look at this move.
25:39Crossbody on Michaels.
25:42Just going with those right hands, instinctively,
25:45getting right back in the face of Chris Jericho.
25:48Well, it's like you said earlier, this is more than just a match.
25:51This is personal.
25:53I mean, Shawn Michaels, he could have gone for a pin count there, but no.
25:55He just wanted to slug.
25:57Wait a minute here.
25:58No, hey, wait a minute.
26:00Turn him out from there, Clay.
26:04Michaels going, no it's not.
26:05Jericho's head bounced off the ring post.
26:10And Michaels with a roll up.
26:12And Jericho still kicks out.
26:13My God.
26:14Jericho still kicks out.
26:16I thought Jericho was out on his feet or out off his feet.
26:19That had to be instinct, instincts.
26:21Nothing but instincts.
26:23A hard, hard shot right to that lower back in the kidney area.
26:29Now finally, it's like all of a sudden the light went off over the head of Jericho.
26:34Dance with Hooper on you, go back to what you're gonna be successful with.
26:37Work on that back of Shawn Michaels.
26:41My gosh, look at this, JR.
26:43This doesn't look good for HBK.
26:45Both men, my God, they're both on the top.
26:48Both men on the- Michaels countered in the lacrosse court.
26:52Oh, no.
26:53Jericho looking for a suplex.
26:55But Michaels countered in midair to the cross body.
26:59This could be a turning point in this matchup.
27:02Let's see that again.
27:03You're right.
27:04There's a cover.
27:05There's a cover.
27:06Arm over.
27:06No.
27:09As you said, Michaels turns it into a cross body block off that top rope.
27:14And that took a lot out of both of these guys.
27:17Reason I say a turning point, if Jericho had hit that superplex on the top,
27:22there's no way Michaels could have kicked out.
27:26And now HBK, the risk taker, and Jericho just kicked the referee into the ropes.
27:32JR, you gotta admit that was a brilliant move by Jericho.
27:37Brilliant.
27:38Jericho acting as if he's innocent.
27:41It was a very effective move.
27:44And the way Michaels landed may have just taken him completely out of the hunt.
27:48Gotta admit, there was a day when Shawn Michaels would have done that exact same
27:51move.
27:52Look at this.
27:53My gosh, right in the face.
27:55Jericho again looking for a cross for the superplex.
27:59Wait a minute.
28:00I think Michaels is starting to feel it, JR.
28:03He's feeding off these 54,000 plus fans at WrestleMania.
28:08There it is.
28:08Michaels to the elbow.
28:10And right back up.
28:12He does feel it.
28:13Gardner driven rush for 54,000 fans.
28:17Yes, Shawn, this is WrestleMania.
28:21And here's the original.
28:24The fan is tooted up.
28:26And it ain't lip biscuit.
28:28It's Shawn Michaels with his own sweet cheese mew.
28:32No, he missed.
28:33Michaels misses.
28:35Jericho, Jericho, he's gonna, he's gonna get to the walls.
28:40Michaels has, there's gotta be signs that we're here.
28:43He's trying to give up.
28:44Tap out.
28:44We're tapping out.
28:45Jericho's got it locked in there.
28:48This is it.
28:49Michaels got to the ropes the first time.
28:52But can he do it again?
28:53Can HBK survive?
28:56No, he's getting pulled back.
28:58That's it.
28:59Tap out.
29:00And now Michaels is a long, long way from the ropes.
29:05But look at the guts.
29:07Look at the hearts of Shawn Michaels.
29:09And because this is WrestleMania,
29:11that's the only reason he's not tapping out.
29:13This is WrestleMania.
29:15And Michaels got tapped out on the ropes.
29:17And Jericho can't believe it.
29:19No, I think he's crying.
29:24Come on, Jericho.
29:25He tapped out.
29:26He didn't tap.
29:28He tapped out.
29:28He tapped out on the ropes.
29:29He tapped out.
29:30Get off me.
29:31He tapped out.
29:33He didn't tap out, Jericho.
29:36Jericho wanted to believe that that was it, but it was not.
29:40Jericho, where did that come from?
29:43Good cop, Jericho.
29:44Ran right into that straight kick.
29:48The sweet chin music by Michaels caught Jericho walking right into it.
29:53Both of these guys are down now.
29:54Michaels still, well, got a little life left in him.
29:59The arm is over.
30:00Look at this.
30:01Whoa.
30:02Uh-oh.
30:04Check out what put these two guys in that little predicament.
30:08No.
30:08Jericho walks right into the super kick.
30:10You saw it, and you heard the impact.
30:14But Jericho's still able to kick out after that impact.
30:18Shawn just grasping at any part of Jericho he can get his hands on.
30:23Fatigue and pain on the rack and the body of both these magnificent athletes.
30:29This has been one hell of a wrestling match here at WrestleMania 19.
30:33That was a sat down, unbelievable velocity.
30:39He came back and landed on his feet, but Michaels is out.
30:42He landed on his feet, Michaels with a roll up, can he make it?
30:47Yes.
30:48Here is your winner, Shawn Michaels.
30:55I knew he would do it, John.
30:58What an effort.
30:59What a wrestling match.
31:02The old lion rises to the occasion.
31:05There's a whole hell of a lot of fight left in Shawn Michaels,
31:10but he also has to hand it to Chris Jericho.
31:14He wanted to beat his idol.
31:16He wanted to destroy his idol.
31:19Jericho wanted to end Michaels early.
31:22Jericho wanted to end Michaels' career at WrestleMania.
31:28But it was not to be.
31:33Now Jericho will have to go let that young lion and lick his wounds,
31:38but there'll be another day like you said there.
31:42Sunday night, March 30th will be a night that Jericho and
31:48Shawn Michaels will never forget as long as they live.
31:52Wait, wait, wait, wait.
31:55Show us some class and professionalism.
31:58Look at this.
32:03I don't believe it.
32:04I am damn sure proud to see that.
32:07No, don't trust those young lions.
32:11Jericho kicked Michaels right below the belt.
32:16What a blatant ass cheap shot.
32:21Now you talk about being a sick,
32:24pathetic loser here at WrestleMania after competing in a match,
32:30perhaps a match of Jericho's lifetime, and he ends it with a low blow.
32:36That's damn sure sad by Chris Jericho.
32:45Well, it's frustration, JR.
32:48I mean, it's years.
32:50This match has been years in the making for Chris Jericho.
32:54And it just didn't turn out like he wanted it to.
