00:00On the grand stage at WrestleMania time, to the WWE Championship, Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar.
00:06Hey man, this pay-per-view WrestleMania has been a rocket buster, kick-ass show.
00:11And right now, WWE Championship on the line, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, coming up.
00:19The Royal Rumble match kicks off our journey to WrestleMania.
00:24And Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar, oh yes!
00:28Brock Lesnar has won the Rumble.
00:30Brock Lesnar is going to WrestleMania.
00:32Here comes the pain, straight to the main event at WrestleMania.
00:39I told you I'd wrestle you tonight, but I never told you the stipulation.
00:44You have to get through them to get to me.
00:47And here it comes!
00:49And next.
00:50Uh-oh.
00:52And Benjamin is done with Kurt Angle's own move, the Angle Slam.
00:57And now Lesnar gets Kurt Angle.
01:00Here we go, it's up to lifetime.
01:02Matchup's underway.
01:03Angle and Lesnar set to go, one on one.
01:05Watch out, oh my God!
01:06Provided the distraction, and now Team Angle comes back to suck the carcass dry.
01:12Three on one, Team Angle beating the hell out of Lesnar.
01:16Kurt Angle's first plan, the gauntlet, backfired.
01:19Kurt Angle's second plan worked.
01:23You're looking at a man in a trance.
01:26Is it focus, or is it fear?
01:29Last thing Kurt Angle wants to do is lose that championship.
01:33And that just might happen against Brock Lesnar.
01:36And Brock Lesnar takes the middle time.
01:38Lesnar, the challenger, quickly on the attack.
01:40Here we go, Cole, the five!
01:43Five connects.
01:44Lesnar will be crowned the new champion of the ring.
01:48And wait a minute, Brock covering, it's for the title.
01:51He looks confused, I don't know what Brock's, how's he going?
01:55This is weird, Cole.
01:56Whoa, whoa, did you see that?
01:58That's not Kurt Angle in the ring.
01:59No, Kurt Angle's just switched with somebody.
02:02Wait a minute!
02:03Oh, a roll up!
02:05Well, that's not Angle.
02:07Yes, it is.
02:09What Angle pulled off tonight was pure genius.
02:15At WrestleMania, Brock Lesnar gets Kurt Angle for the WWE title.
02:21Should anybody interfere in that match on your behalf,
02:25should you try to be counted out, should you get disqualified,
02:28then you will forfeit the title to Brock Lesnar.
02:32I won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freaking neck.
02:35And I can surely beat Brock Lesnar one more time at WrestleMania.
02:40These two men hate each other, Cole.
02:42I'm coming with everything I have now.
02:44And if I have a chance to hurt you, or injure you, or even end your career,
02:49I won't think twice about it.
02:51The two greatest athletes to grace the WWE ring will face each other for
02:56the ultimate prize.
02:57No longer advantage champion, Rebel Plainfield at WrestleMania.
03:02Not Team Angle, not Eric Angle, not Paul Heyman.
03:05Kurt Angle can only rely on himself to stop Lesnar.
03:09Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar for the WWE title.
03:12Here comes the pain.
03:13Here comes the pain.
03:14Here comes the pain.

03:47Here comes the pain.
03:48Here comes the pain.
03:50The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
03:53and it is for the WWE Championship.
03:57Making his way to the ring from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
04:01weighing in at 230 pounds,
04:04is the WWE Champion,
04:07Kurt Angle.
04:10He is a three-time WWE Champion.
04:15And you heard the new weight.
04:16Kurt Angle, 230 pounds.
04:19He lost seven pounds during intense training
04:22for this matchup.
04:24Kurt Angle's extremely lean tonight,
04:26working on his speed and his aggressiveness.
04:31He's got to be in great shape.
04:35I don't think Angle's ever not in shape.
04:37He is the most decorated athlete in WWE history.
04:42Well, here comes the pain.
04:47And the challenger from Minneapolis, Minnesota,
04:51weighing in at 295 pounds,
04:55Brock Lesnar.
05:01He is the number one contender.
05:05Brock Lesnar with those ribs.
05:07Cavalry Bandits after weeks of assault by Kurt Angle.
05:12Now, Brock Lesnar probably didn't have an option.
05:14Probably in a lot of pain, his ribs still.
05:16I think he might want to try and hide that,
05:18but he needs to wrap the pain to support the injured ribs.
05:22Got to be the reason.
05:25It has been a glorious event thus far.
05:29But now WrestleMania turns to the WWE title.
05:35For Brock Lesnar, it is his first WrestleMania.
05:42For Brock Lesnar, he finds himself in the main event.
05:48Lesnar looks ready.
05:50Lesnar wants that championship so bad.
05:53And Kurt Angle can damn near have to kill him
05:56to take that championship from Angle.
06:01It's been face to face.
06:05This match we have been waiting for, for months.
06:09Trying to get each other's heads cold.
06:11Two of the most decorated athletes in WWE history.
06:17You can tell, looking in a man's eyes, if he sweats you.
06:20I don't think neither man sweat each other.
06:22And that's what it's all about.
06:24The champion is the champion.
06:27And that's what it's all about.
06:29The WWE title.
06:31Kurt Angle, 6 feet tall, 230 pounds from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
06:35A six-time national champion.
06:37A member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
06:39A three-time WWE champion.
06:42And the challenger, Brock Lesnar, 6'4", 295 pounds from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
06:48An All-American at the University of Minnesota.
06:51A two-time national champion.
06:53And the youngest WWE champion in history.
06:56A tie-up.
06:58Both men trying to jockey the position.
07:02Amongst the 54,000-some-odd people here tonight.
07:04I know one guy that's digging this match.
07:06I talked to him earlier.
07:08Dino Ortiz, the ultimate fighting champion.
07:10Light heavyweight champion.
07:12Dino, among all the stars here at WrestleMania.
07:14To see the match we've been waiting months for.
07:16Lesnar and Angle as they begin to chain wrestle to start this matchup.
07:20Under and over right there by Kurt Angle.
07:22A front headlock.
07:23An underhook under the armpit.
07:25See the elbow control right there by Brock Lesnar.
07:28Preventing it.
07:29Nice highlight.
07:30Crouching for Fireman's Carry.
07:32Brock Lesnar breaking out on Angle that time.
07:34As he works the armbar on the Olympic gold medalist.
07:37From the 1996 Olympic Games, Kurt Angle.
07:41Nice Fireman's Carry right there.
07:43Both men trading holds right now.
07:46You see the amateur background of both Angle and Lesnar in this matchup.
07:49We mentioned Angle, the gold medalist.
07:51We mentioned Lesnar, the All-American.
07:55Again, Brock Lesnar in control as he breaks out on Angle.
07:58But Angle quickly reverses.
07:59Headlock takeover to a head scissor.
08:01Brock Lesnar quickly kicks out of it.
08:03Get some separation.
08:06People in Seattle respect the athleticism of both great wrestlers.
08:12Again, I don't like to harp on it.
08:14But these are the two most decorated athletes in the history of the WWE.
08:19Nice back cover.
08:20Amateur background.
08:21And a nice takedown by Brock Lesnar.
08:23Lesnar so quick for a man close to 300 pounds.
08:25Standing switch right there.
08:26Another standing switch by Lesnar.
08:28Arm drag.
08:29There's a leg scissor right there by Lesnar.
08:32And Angle pops out and again takes Lesnar down.
08:34Side headlock takeover.
08:36Lesnar smart keeping his shoulder off the mat.
08:39The second shoulder from that pin cover.
08:41Don't have to exert any injury to kick out.
08:43Kurt Angle continues the pressure here on Brock Lesnar.
08:46You see Lesnar, the 295 pounder, make it to his feet.
08:49And for Kurt Angle, this recipe of the size of Brock plus his credentials
08:53is going to be a tough one for Angle to combat.
08:55Big knockdown.
08:57A shoulder knockdown by Lesnar.
08:59Like going into a Minnesota Mack truck.
09:01But again, you see Lesnar favoring those ribs.
09:03That's right.
09:04It was ten days ago.
09:05Lesnar, Angle slammed Lesnar through a steel chair.
09:09This past Thursday on SmackDown,
09:11it was a two-by-four to the ribs from Angle to Lesnar.
09:16Both men just taking their time.
09:18I appreciate that.
09:19I respect what both athletes are doing.
09:21Low single leg right there by Kurt Angle.
09:23Back trip.
09:24Yeah, no doubt.
09:25Back trip.
09:26Behind.
09:27An ankle pin right there by Brock Lesnar.
09:29Behind Angle now.
09:30Angle getting wrist control.
09:31Takeover.
09:32Takedown right there.
09:33Flattening out Kurt.
09:35And an elbow to the face.
09:36And Kurt Angle.
09:37Oh, and a nice arm drag by Lesnar.
09:40That's a butterfly grip action.
09:42See that arm bar?
09:43He's got a butterfly grip.
09:44Very hard to break out of a butterfly grip with a guy
09:46as strong as Lesnar is.
09:48Talk strategy a little bit.
09:49What does Lesnar have to do against the Olympic gold
09:51medalist and the champion, Kurt Angle?
09:53He's got to prevent Kurt from using his speed.
09:55Come on.
09:56Get him out of court.
09:57Break it.
09:58He's got that impact, as you say.
10:00You can just go to that second level quickly.
10:02And then you get right there.
10:04Taking advantage of the back of the rib cage of Brock Lesnar.
10:08Kurt Angle working on that injured body part.
10:10And again, Kurt Angle dissecting Lesnar early.
10:14But Lesnar with a reversal in the elbow
10:16to the face of Kurt Angle.
10:18Come on.
10:19Get him out.
10:20Lesnar's holding the ribs up on his lower ribs.
10:21The level Lesnar has with those big deltoids
10:23into the gut of Angle.
10:25Brock Lesnar, Irish whip, Angle across the ring.
10:28Lesnar runs into an elbow from the WWE champion.
10:31He caught him.
10:32Out of the way.
10:33Wow, what a slam by Lesnar.
10:34I'll tell you what.
10:35That back elbow fights Kurt Angle.
10:37Hook of the leg of the champion.
10:38Oh, and Angle just got his shoulder up.
10:41Kurt Angle, though, before that power slam,
10:44Kurt Angle dinged right in the head
10:46with that back elbow of Brock Lesnar's head.
10:48I think he caught Lesnar pretty good right
10:50in the temple with that elbow.
10:51And here's Angle.
10:52Oh, Lesnar went for the clothesline.
10:54Oh, a suplex.
10:56How quick can Kurt Angle snap off?
10:58Oh, wait a minute.
10:59Brock Lesnar popped right up off the suplex.
11:01And a clothesline.
11:03This Brock Lesnar's like subhuman.
11:05Keep in mind, the level playing field,
11:07the stipulations laid down by Stephanie McMahon.
11:09No interference on Angle's behalf,
11:11or Angle loses the title.
11:12Angle cannot be counted out or disqualified.
11:15He can't save the title that way.
11:16If he's counted out or disqualified,
11:18Angle will lose the championship here tonight.
11:20Kurt Angle trying to get a little breathing room.
11:23Lesnar, be careful, Brock.
11:25Watch Kurt.
11:26He's crafty.
11:27Oh, and Angle drawing Lesnar into the ring.
11:28And there is the experience of the champion.
11:30And again, the assault continues on those injured ribs.
11:33Brock is so confident, though.
11:35He'll stalk Angle all around this ring
11:37and walk into stuff sometimes.
11:39Because it's so hard to hurt a man like Brock Lesnar.
11:42He's damn near indestructible.
11:44No one is, though, indestructible.
11:46Oh, look at this. Brock Lesnar.
11:47The strength of a 290 pounder.
11:50How powerful.
11:51The vanilla gorilla.
11:52Look at Lesnar.
11:54The press slam to Kurt Angle.
11:57So powerful, this Brock Lesnar.
12:00Brock Lesnar in control.
12:01Angle whipped across the ring.
12:03Into the turnbuckle again.
12:04And again, this time, Lesnar runs into a boot to the ribs.
12:08Kurt Angle sometimes will make his opponent,
12:11he'll wait for his opponent to make that mistake.
12:13And he always capitalizes on it.
12:15Oh, man!
12:18Oh, my God.
12:19Lesnar landing high and tight on that turnbuckle.
12:22Right into the ribs.
12:24German suplex.
12:26Calculately called by Angle.
12:28Calculately called by Angle,
12:30using the ring as a weapon,
12:32that top turnbuckle with a light pad on it.
12:35Did you hear the grunt that Lesnar let out
12:38when he hit that turnbuckle?
12:39It knocked Brock down right out of the ring.
12:42Look at him driving that back into the steel barricade.
12:46The whole wall shifted.
12:47That's the amount of velocity that Angle uses
12:49to drive Brock into that wall.
12:52Kurt Angle's like a barracuda.
12:54He realizes the injury.
12:55He smells the blood.
12:56He begins the attack.
12:57Look at the shape of Angle though.
12:59You can see he's got a little weight.
13:00He looks ripped, man.
13:01He's in great condition.
13:02Angle told me earlier today he's never felt better.
13:05He's lost 7 pounds in intense training.
13:08Oh!
13:09Tight suplex.
13:10Lesnar landed high.
13:11Kurt Angle gonna roll the challenger over,
13:14perhaps into a pin cover.
13:15He does.
13:16Hooks the leg.
13:17There's two, and Lesnar pops out.
13:19But that's taken a lot out of Brock Lesnar.
13:21The kick out, that's gonna affect your midsection,
13:23your rib cage, and that is what's injured on Brock Lesnar.
13:26Body.
13:27And Kurt Angle continues the assault.
13:29The shots to the ribs of Lesnar.
13:32Those straight boots right to the gut.
13:35Vertical suplex floating over.
13:37Kurt Angle is.
13:38Hooks into the cover.
13:39Hooks the leg again.
13:40And Lesnar this time gets out before the count of two.
13:43You see Lesnar, he's really beginning now
13:46to be worn down by Angle.
13:48Look at this inside.
13:49This is a bow and arrow right here.
13:50It's a freestyle bow and arrow.
13:52It's a tremendous submission maneuver
13:55This will just tear apart your whole rib cage,
13:58your inner costals, which is under your lats.
14:00This move is extremely painful.
14:02I've been in this, and I've given this move to guys.
14:04And not only, if I'm correct,
14:06does this move work on the rib cage,
14:07but you see Kurt Angle's arm is slipped up
14:09underneath the throat of Brock Lesnar,
14:11cutting off the air.
14:12Well, that's a good point.
14:13Brock's trying to get in control.
14:14We can see his hand.
14:15Brock's hand is under, preventing that choke out
14:17with that aversional rear naked choke by Kurt Angle.
14:20You gotta keep separation between your throat
14:22and your opponent's arm, and Brock knows that.
14:24He knows that.
14:25It's hard enough to breathe with broken ribs as it is,
14:28but then when you throw a choke in on top of it,
14:30you can hardly breathe.
14:31It's not a fun position to be in.
14:33It's not a nice way to spend a Sunday night.
14:35Referee Mike Chioda in perfect position,
14:38watching the eyes of Brock Lesnar,
14:40asking Lesnar if he will give in.
14:42That's Brock's instinct to keep that hand right there
14:44to prevent that choke out.
14:45And it's your background.
14:46No doubt.
14:47I mean, Brock's wrestling since he was a kid,
14:49and so is Kurt.
14:50So, I mean, this is inbred.
14:51It's instinct for these two athletes.
14:54Lesnar, perhaps.
14:55Well, he's fading, bro.
14:56Starting to become desperate.
14:57Yeah, Brock's fading.
14:58He's throwing those elbows,
14:59but he's losing that oxygen to his brain.
15:01That's what a choke does.
15:02Well, they're desperate elbows by Lesnar.
15:04Yeah, but the impact's not there
15:05that Brock would normally have,
15:06because he's losing oxygen to his brain.
15:09You can see his face turning a beet red.
15:12His ankle continues the pressure.
15:14Now, as he flips Lesnar over to his stomach,
15:16what does this do?
15:17When Brock's on his stomach,
15:18that helps Brock a little bit,
15:19but if Kurt gets legs and grapes and grapevine,
15:22he can, well, right now, Brock might be gone.
15:24That's a straight-up rear naked choke right there.
15:27Kurt alternated, changed it.
15:29And again, Angle has that knee
15:30driven into the ribs of Lesnar.
15:32No doubt.
15:33He's bending up Brock's ribs,
15:35Kurt Angle is.
15:37Got a nice grip,
15:38a lock underneath Brock's throat.
15:41Brock might tap here.
15:42Brock's right hand.
15:43Brock might tap.
15:44Brock's right hand is up.
15:45Is Brock gonna tap out to Kurt Angle
15:47with the WWE title on the line?
15:49Brock's trying to hang in there.
15:51Gotta be a lot of pain with those ribs.
15:53And that rib, the back of Kurt's wrist
15:55underneath that throat.
15:56Brock Lesnar, this 295-pound man,
15:59trying desperately to make it to his feet.
16:02He's to his knees.
16:03Right back to that rear naked choke
16:05version of a rear chin lock.
16:07And Kurt keeps all his weight
16:09on Brock's shoulder area
16:10to keep the pressure on the ribs.
16:12And I was gonna ask you,
16:13at what point does Kurt Angle
16:14lose control of this hold?
16:16Well, right now, when Brock,
16:17when your opponent's standing up,
16:19Kurt Angle's got the legs wrapped
16:20around Brock's ribs.
16:21Look at Brock!
16:22Trying to get Angle back first
16:23into the turnbuckle,
16:24but Angle continues the pressure.
16:26Trying to use the ring Brock is
16:28to get Kurt over.
16:29And again, Angle.
16:30The hold has been broken,
16:32but how much did it take out of Lesnar?
16:34That's the power advantage to Brock Lesnar.
16:37He's got that power thing on his side.
16:39And now a shot to the ribs
16:41as Brock Lesnar tries to build momentum.
16:44The WWE title is on the line
16:46in front of 54,000-plus at Zinko Field
16:49on the greatest stage of all.
16:51Uh-oh! Uh-oh!
16:52And what a throw by Angle!
16:54Right on the ribs.
16:56Kurt Angle feeling extremely confident right now,
16:59and he damn well should.
17:01He's got Brock Lesnar hurting him.
17:03Oh, and a knee to the back again.
17:05Yeah, high knee right to the back
17:06of the rib cage by Kurt Angle.
17:08Kurt Angle had a game plan,
17:09and he stuck to it.
17:10Oh!
17:11Got him!
17:12Trying to get Lesnar out of the ring.
17:15Did you hear that thump?
17:17And Brock landed hard out here,
17:19right out in front of us.
17:20And the champion rolls out of the ring
17:22and slowly in pursuit
17:24of the number one contender, Brock Lesnar.
17:27But Kurt wants to keep it in the ring.
17:29I respect that of Kurt Angle.
17:31That's where you defend your championship,
17:33and that's how he can win.
17:34Look at this!
17:35Spinebuster!
17:37Lesnar out of desperation!
17:40I thought maybe Brock was playing possum,
17:42but after that spinebuster,
17:44Brock went right back into pain.
17:46That might have been a good point,
17:48a less desperate maneuver by Brock Lesnar.
17:53The referee begins to count.
17:55If both men are counted to ten,
17:57Angle will keep the championship.
18:00It'll be considered a draw.
18:02Brock Lesnar needs to try and get to his feet,
18:06because Kurt Angle's starting to move a little bit.
18:09Kurt Angle, the champion,
18:11trying to make it to his feet first.
18:13The challenger, Lesnar, to his feet as well.
18:16And a right hand by Angle.
18:17And Lesnar is in serious, serious trouble here.
18:20Man, those shots are rocking Brock Lesnar.
18:22Kurt Angle has a nice punch.
18:24There's a knee to the sternum.
18:25Another three of them.
18:26And a rake of the eyes by Angle.
18:28Anything it takes for the champion.
18:30That's it. You've got to defend your championship.
18:32Oh, and Lesnar knocks Angle down.
18:34He tried flying forward by Brock Lesnar.
18:36Brock's picking up the pace, man.
18:38And a shot to the head.
18:39Straight kick right to the face.
18:40Lesnar just shoving Angle,
18:42the champion.
18:43You can see Brock Lesnar shifting to another gear.
18:45And Kurt Angle's a very smart athlete.
18:47He's really realizing that.
18:49Kurt's got to shift the momentum back in his favor.
18:51Angle whipped across the ring.
18:52Oh, and an elbow to the face of Lesnar.
18:54An overzealous Lesnar ran into the elbow.
18:56But look at that. He's got Angle hooked.
18:59What a suplex by Brock Lesnar.
19:02Throwing Angle down there across the ring.
19:04That suplex brought these fans out of their feet here.
19:06Another one.
19:07And another one.
19:08And the champion now is in trouble.
19:11The challenger crawling.
19:13As he pulls Angle to the center of the ring.
19:15Here's the cover.
19:16Hook of the leg.
19:17Does he have it?
19:18No!
19:19Right now, this is Brock's opportunity
19:21to win that championship.
19:23Brock's got to keep the pressure on Kurt.
19:25But both men exerting so much energy out here.
19:28Angle surviving for the time being.
19:30Uh-oh, double overhooks.
19:31Great suplex by Angle.
19:32And a German suplex.
19:33And Kurt Angle with the hands locked
19:35around the waist of Lesnar.
19:37It'll be another.
19:38Another German connects.
19:40Kurt Angle got that.
19:41Those fingers locked.
19:43Brock's going for a third suplex.
19:45And he got it.
19:46Angle connects a third German suplex to Brock Lesnar.
19:51This is...
19:52Oh, man!
19:53This is wearing out Brock Lesnar.
19:55How much pressure to the ribs
19:58do those German suplexes cause from Angle to Lesnar?
20:01The average man would give up right now
20:03if they were Brock Lesnar.
20:04I don't see Brock doing that.
20:06Kurt Angle wants Brock to his feet.
20:08Signaling probably for the Angle Slam.
20:10Kurt Angle has switched into another gear.
20:12Lesnar's to his feet.
20:13Uh-oh.
20:14Going for the Angle Slam.
20:15Brock Lesnar lands on his feet off the reverse.
20:17Here we go!
20:18That's five!
20:19In front of time!
20:20That's five!
20:21Here we go!
20:22And look at a front face lock.
20:23Oh, inside trip into the ankle lock.
20:25Into the ankle lock.
20:26Kurt Angle's got the ankle lock locked in.
20:28Beautiful technique by Kurt Angle.
20:31That's why Angle is Olympic gold medalist.
20:34What a counter by Kurt Angle.
20:36Sweet inside trip into that ankle lock.
20:40You get to that bottom rope.
20:42Lesnar makes it to the bottom rope,
20:44but Kurt Angle yanks it back to the middle of the ring.
20:47Angle signs.
20:48Angle will break it, Paul.
20:49Angle will break Brock's ankle.
20:51Dirt Angle said last week,
20:52I will keep this title, Brock Lesnar,
20:54if I have to kill you.
20:55But look at this.
20:57Right to a half crab.
20:58Switch it over.
20:59This really will affect the rib cage.
21:01Here you thought the ankle lock was bad.
21:03This half leg busted crab
21:05really hurt the ribs of Brock Lesnar.
21:07Kurt Angle's got a great grip across the knee,
21:10right over the kneecap.
21:11You think of throwing that single leg busted crab.
21:16That's really, really just twisted up
21:19the rib cage of Brock Lesnar.
21:22Here referee Mike Chioda saying,
21:23what do you say, Brock?
21:24Brock makes it to the ropes.
21:26All the way out of that hole.
21:27And Kurt Angle forced to break
21:29that half leg busted crab.
21:32Brock pounding.
21:34Brock pounding on the back of Brock's body,
21:36relentlessly.
21:39Another high knee.
21:43Talk about physicality.
21:45Here comes Kurt.
21:46Oh, my God.
21:47Almost jealous right there.
21:49That jumped over the top rope.
21:51Brock Lesnar turning point for Brock.
21:53Brock Lesnar can buy himself some time here.
21:55Lesnar can try to catch his breath.
21:57Can try to at least let some of that pain
21:59subside in the ribs
22:00as Angle was tossed over the top rope.
22:02Very tough to get past the rib injury.
22:04But you're right.
22:05That's exactly what Brock's doing.
22:07Biding himself some time.
22:09But Angle on the pursuit for Brock again.
22:12Here he comes.
22:14Angle into the corner.
22:15And then shoulders driven into the ribs.
22:17Into the ribs of Angle.
22:18Here comes the number one contender, Lesnar.
22:21Brock's picking it up.
22:23Don't cut them.
22:24Oh, Jermey coming.
22:25Oh, my.
22:30Unreal.
22:32Brock Lesnar released Jermey's suplex.
22:35Turning Lesnar inside out.
22:37And here's Angle.
22:38He's gonna take the championship.
22:40Lesnar.
22:41Lesnar just got the shoulder up.
22:44Another look.
22:45This was absolutely amazing.
22:47The absolute suplex of the mind game.
22:49Let's take a look at this.
22:50A beautiful throw.
22:52Oh, my God.
22:53How strong is Kurt Angle?
22:55Great technique.
22:56Angle slam.
22:57The Angle slam connects.
22:59And this is it.
23:00The champion will retain the title.
23:02One, two.
23:03Goodbye.
23:04Lesnar kicked out of the Angle slam.
23:08Lesnar, man.
23:09The match, it's the toughness.
23:11The mad instincts of Lesnar to kick out.
23:13That is the first time anyone has ever kicked out of the Angle slam, I believe.
23:19Talk about intensity.
23:21Kurt Angle telling Lesnar, get your ass up.
23:24I wanna do more.
23:27Kurt Angle is stalking Lesnar.
23:29Oh, man.
23:30But you gotta be careful, Kurt.
23:32The Rock's out.
23:33Look at this.
23:34Oh, splato.
23:35That's a splato.
23:36He got him.
23:37Angle was surprised and just kicked out.
23:39Oh, boy.
23:40F5, Cole.
23:41F5's coming.
23:43The F5 connects.
23:45The F5 connects.
23:46The Rock hit the tough Angle.
23:49The match will be over.
23:51We'll have a new champ.
23:52That's what I'm thinking.
23:53Come on, Brock.
23:54Lesnar can feel it.
23:55You got it, kid.
23:56It's over.
23:57And Angle is kicked out of the F5.
24:02That has never been done before.
24:06Unreal.
24:07Man, you gotta give it up to Kurt Angle.
24:10And Brock Lesnar.
24:11What a damn match.
24:12Great match.
24:15F5 and Angle kicked out.
24:19Brock Lesnar, the number one contender, believes he's in control of the champion.
24:24Kurt's done.
24:25Oh, look at this.
24:26Ankle lock.
24:27Playing possum.
24:28Kurt Angle with the ankle lock locked in.
24:30Second time in the matchup.
24:32Ankle lock is locked on Lesnar.
24:35Lesnar's in the middle of the ring.
24:37No sign of Kurt letting go of that.
24:40Crawling desperately to the bottom rope.
24:42Kurt Angle continues to pressure.
24:44Now he's got the leg wrapped.
24:45Brock Lesnar cannot crawl from this position to the ropes.
24:49No doubt about it.
24:50You gotta be really super powerful to crawl.
24:53But the guy's got that leg wrapped up with a grapevine.
24:56And the ankle lock by a gold medalist.
24:59But look at Lesnar.
25:00Lesnar is dragging the champion.
25:04He is dragging the champion.
25:06How strong is Brock Lesnar?
25:08Lesnar has made it to the ropes.
25:09Angle has to break the hold.
25:12I don't believe Lesnar.
25:14But again, Angle.
25:15Kurt's gonna put him up.
25:16Look at this.
25:17Lesnar counter.
25:19Both men are just spent.
25:21Before this match, we've seen Rock and Austin leaving in the ring.
25:25And that's just what Angle and Lesnar are doing.
25:28Brock Lesnar's to his feet.
25:30The champion, Kurt Angle, is in trouble.
25:32There's a move to the midsection.
25:34Package.
25:35He got it.
25:36And then Lesnar kicked out.
25:37Did you see how quick Angle rolled him up?
25:39It's all about the WWE title.
25:42Angle slam.
25:43Angle slam.
25:44Lesnar.
25:45Kick to the midsection.
25:46Lesnar.
25:47Kick to the midsection.
25:48Another one.
25:49Another one.
25:50Another F5, Cole.
25:51If he nails this.
25:52Oh, man.
25:53Oh, man.
25:54Oh, man.
25:55Here comes the pain.
25:57The F5 connects again to Angle.
26:02Angle kicked out of the last F5.
26:04Will he kick out of this one?
26:06I don't know, Cole.
26:07In my opinion, Kurt Angle is toast.
26:10He's done.
26:11There's no way.
26:13Two F5s?
26:14But what is Brock Lesnar doing?
26:16He's not going for the cover.
26:18Off the F5.
26:20The champion is out in the middle of the ring.
26:23I don't know what Lesnar's doing.
26:24That ain't Eric Angle there.
26:26Like I said on SmackDown a couple weeks ago.
26:28What is Brock doing?
26:30Brock, cover him.
26:32It's WrestleMania.
26:33It's for the champion.
26:35Wait a minute.
26:37Brock Lesnar is running for the top.
26:40What is Lesnar doing?
26:44Brock Lesnar is climbing to the top rope.
26:47This ain't Brock.
26:48Brock doesn't do it.
26:49What the hell is this?
26:51What the hell is Lesnar doing, Cole?
26:53Oh, my God!
26:54Brock Lesnar went for the Shooting Star Press.
26:57And Kurt Angle rolled out of the way.
27:01And he covered Lesnar.
27:02That's it.
27:03That's it.
27:04He got him.
27:05Just got the shoulder up.
27:07Angle hit him.
27:08Lesnar did not hit that whole Shooting Star Press.
27:11That was obvious.
27:12And Lesnar landed on the back of his head.
27:15That's 290 pounds coming down on your neck.
27:18Kurt Angle rolled out of the way.
27:20He saw the Shooting Star Press coming.
27:23Oh, man.
27:24He took advantage with a pinfall.
27:26Lesnar kicked out of him.
27:28Brock crashed and burned.
27:29You got to give him an interruption.
27:31Uh-oh.
27:32Uh-oh.
27:33This would be the third F5, Cole.
27:35A third F5 connects.
27:38A third F5 connects.
27:41Brock could top if he's got the energy to top him.
27:44Here's the count.
27:451, 2.
27:46We have a new champion.
27:50Here is your winner and the new WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar.
28:01Brock Lesnar is now a two-time WWE Champion.
28:07Unbelievable.
28:08Look at this.
28:09Shooting Star Press right on his head.
28:11Oh, my God.
28:12How is Lesnar not dead right now?
28:15And then an F5.
28:16A third F5 from Kurt Angle.
28:19The bottom line, the fact of the matter is Brock Lesnar
28:23is leaving WrestleMania as the WWE Champion.
28:27Congratulations, Brock.
28:29In his first WrestleMania, Brock Lesnar
28:32has climbed to the top of the mountain.
28:36On March 30th, 2003,
28:40the era of the animal Brock Lesnar has arrived.
28:46Gotta respect both athletes.
28:48What a match at the grand stage,
28:50the granddaddy WrestleMania
28:52for the most prestigious tribe,
28:54the WWE Championship.
28:56Two great wrestlers, Angle, Lesnar.
28:58Lesnar comes out unmarked.
29:02You have gotta give it up for Kurt Angle.
29:04The champion kicked out of two F5s
29:07before the third one was delivered.
29:12But Brock Lesnar has been crowned WWE Champion
29:17here tonight at WrestleMania.
29:23This WrestleMania, in my opinion,
29:27this is my view, was the greatest I've ever seen
29:31or been a part of.
29:32Off the chart every match.
29:35And right there, our new WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar.
29:42The fact of the matter that this man
29:46hit the shooting star press,
29:47Angle rolled out of the way and still won the title.
29:50It's amazing.
29:53Brock Lesnar's a freak, man.
29:55Big up.
30:01Brock Lesnar is the new WWE Champion.
30:08Look at that.
30:10Tremendous sportsmanship from Kurt Angle.
30:15What a WrestleMania.
30:17We'll see you next year at Madison Square Garden
30:20for WrestleMania 20.
30:22Goodnight, everybody from Seattle.
