00:00Eddie, they can't wait for Eddie Guerrero, and here's the tail of the tape.
00:03And I'll tell you, size advantage goes to Brock Lesnar.
00:06I'm not sure if I'd even give Eddie the quickness advantage.
00:09I personally think Brock is just as quick as Eddie, but
00:12Eddie's got a little bit more experience.
00:14Brock Lesnar is the WWE Champion.
00:17For Eddie Guerrero, tonight offers a once in a lifetime opportunity,
00:22a chance to win the championship.
00:25For the first time ever on network television, a Royal Rumble match.
00:31The winner gets a shot at the WWE title, and no way out.
00:36Here's the double team, Rikishi eliminated.
00:41We're down to two, Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero.
00:45Kurt Angle, my God, almost eliminated.
00:50And a right hand by Latino, Kurt Angle's in trouble.
00:52Another right hand by Eddie Guerrero.
00:54Kurt might be playing possum.
00:55Kurt Angle, gonna suplex Eddie Guerrero from the top rope.
00:58Eddie's done.
00:59Eddie Guerrero's gonna be eliminated here.
01:01Uh-oh, uh-oh. Eddie Guerrero just countered in front.
01:04Kurt Angle, back into the ring.
01:06The hell's he doing?
01:07Kurt Angle eliminated.
01:08Eddie Guerrero has got a shot at the title.
01:12But Tito Heath is heading to San Francisco to meet Brock Lesnar.
01:17And no way out for the WWE Championship.
01:21Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
01:24Congratulations, Eddie Guerrero.
01:27But let me tell you something.
01:29I am not afraid of you.
01:33The only thing I have going for me is that every obstacle that's
01:38been put in front of me, I have overcome.
01:44Come no way out.
01:46You're not fighting the odds, Eddie.
01:48You're fighting me.
01:50I really hope you are addicted, addicted to losing,
01:56because at no way out, you're gonna get your fix.
02:03Truth is, Brock, I am an addict.
02:07But you know what, Brock?
02:09I am beating those demons.
02:12I am overcoming those obstacles.
02:16I disgraced my race.
02:18I disgraced my family.
02:20And I disgraced myself.
02:24I came to a point in my life where it was do or die.
02:28Day by day, I have earned my way back into this ring.
02:36When I step into this ring, yeah, bro, I am addicted.
02:40I'm addicted to the high that I get from them.
02:43I'm addicted to the do or die feeling, Holmes,
02:48that I'm gonna have at no way out, because I'm an addict.
02:53And I'll do anything and run over anybody that it's gonna take to get that
02:59around my waist and get my high at no way out and
03:03become the WWE Champion, Orale, Mato.
03:07WWE Champion, Orale, Mato.
03:26Following contest is scheduled for one fall, and
03:29it is for the WWE Championship.
03:32Making its way to the ring from Minneapolis,
03:36weighing in at 295 pounds, is the WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar.
03:44Look at a cold, frozen animal.
03:46As if Eddie Guerrero didn't have a chance enough earlier.
03:51Now, what happened earlier tonight was Goldberg jackhammering Brock Lesnar.
03:57And now Brock Lesnar is completely picked off.
04:01WWE Champion is living.
04:04You know what that means, Gold, right?
04:06That means Eddie Guerrero's chances went from slim and numb to, my view, zero.
04:10But now, Brock Lesnar has motive to destruct anything in his sight.
04:15And that sight is set on Eddie Guerrero,
04:17the man going after Lesnar's championship.
04:20Viva la Raza.
04:24And the challenger from El Paso,
04:29Texas, weighing in at 228 pounds,
04:35Eddie Guerrero.
04:37For Eddie Guerrero, tonight is a chance at redemption.
04:44For Eddie Guerrero, tonight is a day of reckoning.
04:49For Eddie Guerrero, tonight is a chance to prove there is indeed a way out.
04:58This place is going crazy for Eddie Guerrero.
05:05Three years ago, Eddie Guerrero was dragged out of a parking lot
05:10in Minnesota.
05:11Eddie Guerrero was fired.
05:14Eddie Guerrero admitted he was an addict.
05:17But Eddie Guerrero has the opportunity to come full circle.
05:24And Latino Eddie Guerrero sees that opportunity.
05:29You can see that shot a moment ago of Brock Lesnar, the Rage of Lesnar.
05:35He's just completely beside himself.
05:39Eddie Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero,
05:44Eddie Guerrero trying to dictate the pace here.
05:52Come out here and shoot confidence.
05:55I don't know, Paul.
05:56Eddie Guerrero said three days ago that Brock Lesnar's not wrestling Eddie Guerrero.
06:01Brock Lesnar is wrestling Latino Heat, and there is a big, big difference.
06:06So here we go, in this building, the historic Town Palace,
06:10which has held some of the greatest matches in wrestling history.
06:14Eddie Guerrero battles Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship.
06:19Eddie Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero.
06:25Eddie Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero.
06:26It's no secret that Eddie Guerrero is the, got the whole field advantage, I'd say.
06:32Eddie Guerrero set it first tonight.
06:35Eddie Guerrero gets a new high in life.
06:38Eddie Guerrero's new high is to perform in front of these fans,
06:42to enjoy these fans, and to enjoy the opportunity he has here tonight.
06:46For the first time ever, Eddie Guerrero, who's been in this business for so
06:51many years, is battling for a championship,
06:54the WWE Championship in the main event at a pay-per-view.
06:58And can you imagine if Eddie Guerrero could win this matchup,
07:02he'd be defending this championship on the greatest stage of all, WrestleMania.
07:07And here we go.
07:10It is go time, as they say.
07:14Brock Lesnar and 60 pounds heavier than Eddie Guerrero.
07:17And the pressure pull is on Eddie Guerrero.
07:20Look at Brock, talk about confidence.
07:22Eddie Guerrero locked up center of the ring, and
07:24I don't think Eddie Guerrero wants to lock up with Brock Lesnar in this type of matchup.
07:27You ain't nothing.
07:28And Eddie Guerrero, Brock Lesnar, you hear him screaming, and
07:32Eddie Guerrero, you ain't nothing.
07:33Lesnar's trying to play that mind game with Guerrero,
07:36ever since he realized he was gonna face Eddie tonight for the title.
07:39Mind games?
07:40He's shoving Eddie Guerrero over the ring.
07:43Mind games.
07:44Latino, he and Eddie Guerrero jump back in again.
07:46And if you're the challenger,
07:47what type of strategy can you employ against this animal Lesnar?
07:51If you're the challenger, try to survive.
07:53If I'm Eddie Guerrero, I'm gonna try and survive this match.
07:56You make a great point.
07:57When you say survive, you need to survive this initial onslaught by the champion.
08:03Well, this is not initial, Cole.
08:06I mean, it's gonna continue probably the whole match through and through.
08:09Look at the back kick.
08:10Eddie Guerrero off the big backdrop, and Lesnar's in control.
08:13You talked about the pressure.
08:14You talked about the millions of people.
08:16It's just the beginning of this, man.
08:17I'm telling you.
08:18Talking about the pressure, you're talking about the millions of people
08:20who are watching this back jump.
08:21And look at that suplex.
08:22Brock Lesnar's been here before.
08:24Brock Lesnar has had WrestleMania.
08:26Brock Lesnar's been in this position as a three-time champion.
08:28He's the youngest WWE champion in history, Cole.
08:31Eddie Guerrero, it's all news.
08:34And look at Lesnar, a shot to the midsection.
08:36And WWE champion Brock Lesnar is taking it to the challenge of Eddie Guerrero here.
08:41Brock Lesnar looks like he is on tonight.
08:46No flaws in Lesnar's game plan.
08:49The champion looks extremely confident.
08:52Eddie Guerrero waiting to cross the ring.
08:53Elbow to the jaw of the champion.
08:55And Brock Lesnar's starting for a moment.
08:57The chance begins for Eddie Guerrero.
08:59The big right and left hands by Latino.
09:01He put just like that.
09:02The champion shutting Eddie Guerrero down with a knee to the ribs.
09:05I'm not saying Eddie Guerrero doesn't have fire.
09:07Eddie Guerrero doesn't have talent or ability and capabilities.
09:10But I just think Eddie Guerrero's overmatched against Brock Lesnar tonight.
09:14Eddie Guerrero shot to the jaw.
09:15Latino heat.
09:16The fire burning in his gut.
09:18Trying to take it to the champion here.
09:20Oh, my God.
09:21Brock Lesnar dropping Eddie on his head.
09:23And look at the strength of the champion.
09:25Look at the power.
09:26Look at this.
09:27Eddie Guerrero going halfway across the ring.
09:29Did I tell you?
09:30Did I tell you?
09:31Like a rag doll.
09:32Lesnar treating Guerrero like a rag doll.
09:34And now Brock Lesnar's enjoying this.
09:36I'm beginning to think I'm going to agree with you here.
09:38This has turned into a little bit of a mismatch.
09:40You don't have much of an option, my friend.
09:42Look at this belly-to-belly duplex.
09:44Eddie Guerrero tossed across the ring by this dominant champion.
09:48I'll tell you, Eddie Guerrero has one chance.
09:50And Lesnar has to make a mistake.
09:52And anything that flies that high should have music on it and a fight attendant.
09:56What a belly-to-belly by Brock Lesnar.
10:00Brock Lesnar is just focused and zoned in to his prey.
10:05And his prey is Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero.
10:08Need of a midsection as Lesnar continues to wear down Eddie Guerrero.
10:12Latino Heat to his knees.
10:14And Lesnar extremely confident in the early going.
10:17Brock Lesnar is dissecting Eddie Guerrero bit by bit by bit.
10:21Brock looks damn near unstoppable.
10:24Here he comes.
10:25And Brock Lesnar in need of a jaw.
10:27Did you see what the champion did there?
10:29He measured Eddie.
10:30He took his time.
10:31He didn't rush into the corner.
10:33He measured his opponent.
10:34Like I said, Cole, he has more agility.
10:36He's bigger.
10:38He's stronger.
10:39He's faster.
10:40He's quicker than Eddie Guerrero.
10:41Guerrero is- Hard to drive.
10:43I hate to say this.
10:44All due respect to Eddie, I don't feel Eddie is in Lesnar's class, especially tonight.
10:50Brock Lesnar's held the championship since September.
10:53Eddie Guerrero trying to win it tonight with the right hand.
10:56Trying to fire up the Latino Heat here.
10:59And again, Lesnar with a shot to the ribs.
11:01Yeah, three of Eddie's blows rocked Lesnar a little bit.
11:06And one strong knee lift took Eddie Guerrero right off his feet.
11:10Here comes another belly to belly.
11:12Wow.
11:13That's the third one of the match.
11:15Eddie Guerrero rolling out of the ring.
11:17He buys Eddie some time to recuperate here.
11:20But what does Eddie Guerrero have to do?
11:22What can Eddie Guerrero do here against Lesnar?
11:26I'm not counting Eddie out, Cole.
11:28Like I said earlier, I think Eddie Guerrero needs to hope that Brock Lesnar might make a mistake.
11:36This time here, as referee Brian Hepburn keeps Lesnar away from going outside the ring,
11:40this allows Eddie to buy some time.
11:42Let's face it, Cole.
11:43Eddie Guerrero needs to lie, cheat, and steal.
11:45Right now, Brock Lesnar's not giving Eddie an opportunity to do any of those three things.
11:50Eddie Guerrero trying to make it back in the ring.
11:52Remember, Eddie cannot win the title if he's counting out.
11:55And Lesnar on the assault.
11:56And again, those kicks to the ribs knocking Eddie out of the ring.
12:00And Lesnar in a foul mood as he hammers away on Guerrero.
12:04Yeah, Brock Lesnar just, just...
12:07Oh!
12:08Just flaring at Brock Lesnar.
12:11Look at that face.
12:14This is physical dominance for Brock Lesnar.
12:16It's also embarrassing.
12:17I think Brock Lesnar's just embarrassing Eddie Guerrero out here.
12:20Not just me dissecting the man.
12:23Brock Lesnar.
12:24Oh, look at Eddie.
12:25Shoulder to the gut.
12:26Eddie Guerrero trying to stay in this matchup.
12:30Look at Lesnar.
12:31Hop up on the top rope.
12:32Eddie Guerrero perhaps can find an opening here.
12:35Oh, look at this.
12:36Trying to grab that knee, that leg of Brock Lesnar.
12:39Brock's too strong.
12:40Can't pull Brock to the corner, to the post, to the ring post.
12:43Look at the strength of Lesnar.
12:44Keeping away from that ring post.
12:45Realizing what Eddie's intentions are.
12:47Brock Lesnar's trying to stop himself from going.
12:50Knee off the steel post.
12:52Eddie Guerrero creating an opening for himself perhaps.
12:58Can Eddie Guerrero capitalize on this now?
13:01Eddie Guerrero realizing you take out the knee,
13:03you keep the champion off his feet.
13:05Eddie Guerrero, again, as he broke the count,
13:08went back outside the ring.
13:10Shoulder first into the steel post.
13:13The power of the leg strength of Brock Lesnar
13:17to pull Guerrero into that post.
13:19However, some damage had to have been done
13:21to the knee of the champion Brock Lesnar.
13:28And Brock Lesnar with a clubbing blow
13:30to the back of Eddie Guerrero.
13:32Before Eddie went into the shoulder,
13:34Brock Lesnar's knee went off that steel post.
13:36And look at this.
13:37The power of that delayed fisherman buster.
13:41Gonna strip that high cradle by Brock Lesnar.
13:44Eddie Guerrero has no man to go.
13:46Eddie Guerrero can only go down to the mat.
13:49A crushing blow to the rib area,
13:52the back area that Lesnar's worked on
13:54throughout the matchup.
13:55Here's the hook to the leg.
13:56Trying to finish it here.
13:57And Eddie Guerrero kicking out.
14:00And now when Guerrero has to kick out,
14:03you gotta just imagine.
14:05What's Eddie feeling in his body when he tries to kick out?
14:09After all Eddie Guerrero's endured so far,
14:11I'm surprised he kicked out.
14:12But Eddie Guerrero may not be able to squirm out of this.
14:14I'm surprised too.
14:15Yeah, you're right.
14:16Because right now a real naked choke with a grapevine.
14:19Both legs are in by Brock Lesnar.
14:21No place for Eddie Guerrero to go.
14:24Eddie Guerrero's in a world of pain here.
14:26Trust me.
14:27Early on in the matchup,
14:28Brock Lesnar worked on the midsection.
14:30He kept a high pace to try to wear Eddie down.
14:32Now Brock Lesnar slows the pace down to try to wear Eddie out.
14:36Well, you know, it's too bad for this capacity crowd here
14:39tonight in San Francisco.
14:40No doubt that Eddie Guerrero was a sentimental favorite here
14:44in San Francisco.
14:45But Brock Lesnar, uh-uh, not gonna have it.
14:48Eddie trying to look so strong.
14:50Eddie trying to battle out with those ribs to the midsection.
14:54I should say those elbows to the midsection of Lesnar.
14:56But Brock has got that just powerful grip.
14:59And he makes it to his feet and a good counter.
15:02A jawbreaker.
15:03Nice counter by Eddie Guerrero.
15:04Very smart by Eddie Guerrero, thinking on his feet there.
15:07Eddie Guerrero trying to shake the complex.
15:09Eddie can't capitalize, Cole.
15:11He can't go in for the kill on Brock right now.
15:13Eddie Guerrero.
15:14Oh, look at this.
15:15Oh, my God.
15:16Look at this guerrilla slow pressure.
15:18Eddie Guerrero.
15:19Shot through again to that knee that went off the steel post.
15:22Eddie Guerrero with a dropkick.
15:24And now Brock Lesnar exploding.
15:28Every time Eddie Guerrero starts to build a little bit of momentum,
15:32Brock Lesnar shuts Eddie Guerrero down.
15:35Wow.
15:36Brock Lesnar is so explosive.
15:40Just the strength.
15:43Watch the sweat fly off the body on that clothesline.
15:48The impact.
15:49Impact was insane.
15:51And Brock Lesnar into the midsection again.
15:53Oh, my God.
15:54Oh, my God.
15:55Wow.
15:56That German suplex.
15:57Eddie tried to get out of that, but Brock Lesnar.
16:01I don't even know if Brock had a grip.
16:03Brock's hips are so strong, so explosive.
16:05He just lowered his level, got a leverage on Eddie.
16:09Eddie's in trouble.
16:11Brock Lesnar, the champion, trying to capitalize,
16:13trying to take advantage.
16:15Eddie Guerrero to his knees.
16:17I don't even think Eddie Guerrero realizes where he's at anymore.
16:20Eddie Guerrero's family members are here watching.
16:23He's horrible for Eddie.
16:26See the cocky smile on the face of Brock Lesnar, the champion.
16:30You'd be cocky too if you saw the fact that your championship's on the line
16:35and you're on your way to dominating and winning.
16:38That makes you happy.
16:40He may be, Brock Lesnar, the most physical champion the WWE has ever had.
16:44I think so.
16:47I definitely think Lesnar is that, the most physical champion
16:50you've ever seen in the WWE.
16:53And Brock Lesnar sliding his shoulders into that rib cage,
16:57that midsection.
16:59Eddie Guerrero has absorbed so much punishment to that midsection.
17:04And there's no signs of Lesnar getting tired of decimating Eddie Guerrero.
17:09The champion had a game plan.
17:11Look out!
17:13That back knee, that back knee to the turnbuckle.
17:16It could be the break that Eddie Guerrero needs.
17:19Earlier in the match, we saw Lesnar with that jumping high knee in the corner.
17:22And it nailed Eddie.
17:24But just now, Eddie Guerrero had to wear a form and get himself out of the way.
17:28And Lesnar crashed and burned.
17:30Eddie Guerrero, can he capitalize?
17:33He's taking-
17:34Look at that!
17:35Take Lesnar out!
17:37Look at this!
17:38Oh, my God!
17:40Eddie Guerrero realizing it's desperation time.
17:43A high-risk maneuver.
17:45Brock Lesnar injured his knee when he missed that high knee with Eddie Guerrero.
17:50It all started when Eddie Guerrero banged Brock Lesnar's knee off a steel post.
17:54That's when it all started for Eddie Guerrero.
17:56It created an opening that Eddie Guerrero now looks to take advantage of.
18:01Referee's counting.
18:02Referee's counting.
18:03Gotta be careful.
18:04Don't get count out.
18:05Eddie Guerrero cannot win if Lesnar were to get count out.
18:08Lesnar can't win on a count out.
18:09Can't be a count out.
18:10Eddie can.
18:11Brock Lesnar rolling into the ring under the bottom rope.
18:13Eddie Guerrero in as well.
18:14And this matchup continues for the WWE title.
18:19Here comes Eddie!
18:20Eddie Guerrero, the wise veteran, going to work on the injured knee of the champion, Brock Lesnar.
18:26He's still got a little spunk behind his impact, behind his tools there, behind his offense, which I'm kind of surprised about.
18:33This is for the clothesline.
18:34Eddie Guerrero delivering a suplex.
18:37You saw Lesnar miss the clothesline.
18:38You saw Lesnar go for the knee there.
18:40Perhaps the knee injury is causing Lesnar to lose that spring in his step.
18:43Remember what I said earlier, the only way Eddie Guerrero has a chance is if Lesnar makes a mistake.
18:49And that might quite be what happened earlier when Lesnar missed that high knee.
18:53But just there, Eddie Guerrero got caught with that hot shot like maneuver.
18:57And even when the champion's wounded, he's still been able to regain the offensive advantage in this matchup.
19:02I think that's my view on that deal is the size difference, the power.
19:06Hook of the leg, shoulders down.
19:08Eddie Guerrero kicking out.
19:10Brock is so well conditioned.
19:12I mean, I'm not saying Eddie Guerrero's not because Eddie is.
19:14But Brock is 295 pounds, straight up muscles, so strong Lesnar is.
19:22You are looking live at the sold-out Cal Palace in San Francisco.
19:26The champion Brock Lesnar, the challenger Eddie Guerrero.
19:29The winner to meet Kurt Angle at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship.
19:33And look at Eddie Guerrero.
19:34And he's going for a submission to the sledgehammer.
19:36What a great counter by Eddie Guerrero.
19:37Eddie countered.
19:38What the hell?
19:39And that's the injury of Lesnar.
19:41Out of nowhere.
19:42The injury of Lesnar is wrapped up in there.
19:45Eddie Guerrero twisting the knee.
19:47Oh man, that's an STF.
19:49The champion will he tap out?
19:51Will Lesnar tap out?
19:52Oh man, that's a dangerous submission.
19:54Lesnar's in trouble.
19:55Lesnar may have made a mistake talking trash.
19:57Eddie Guerrero capitalizing.
20:01STF, it's a very, very brutal brutal.
20:05The strike to Lesnar.
20:06Breaking the arms of Guerrero.
20:07But Guerrero continues the assault.
20:09That knee is torqued in.
20:10That knee has absorbed so much punishment here tonight.
20:12Guerrero trying to get the champion to tap out.
20:15Look at this, look at this, look at this.
20:16Oh, slamming the knee into the mat.
20:19Slamming the knee into the mat.
20:20Eddie putting his foot in the back of the crook of the knee of Lesnar.
20:24This champion who relies so much on his powerful legs
20:27is having one of those wheels taken out from underneath him here
20:29by Eddie Guerrero.
20:30And Eddie Guerrero, like a great white shark
20:34going after his prey here,
20:35knows the knee is injured
20:37and he's gunning for the knee.
20:39Eddie Guerrero on this one.
20:41It'll be a figure four here.
20:43Eddie Guerrero.
20:44He's got Lesnar in trouble.
20:45Eddie Guerrero trying to lock it in,
20:47trying to torque that knee.
20:49Lesnar's legs are so big and long
20:51and he's not ready to get the hold on properly.
20:53And Brock Lesnar, the champion,
20:54back on out.
20:56Wow.
20:57Strong, strong.
20:58Brock Lesnar.
21:00Eddie Guerrero, the challenger, again on the attack.
21:03Continuing the pressure on the champion.
21:05Going after that knee again and again.
21:07Brock Lesnar powering his way out.
21:10Kicking Eddie Guerrero off of him.
21:13Lesnar trying to make it to his feet.
21:15Eddie Guerrero continues to keep the champion down.
21:18Drop kick to the side of the head.
21:20I'll give Eddie credit.
21:21Gotta give the man his due here.
21:23I agree with you.
21:24And look at Lesnar again, fighting out of it.
21:26Brock Lesnar knows,
21:27knows he's got to keep Eddie Guerrero off of that knee.
21:31Because Eddie, just relentless going after that knee.
21:34Oh my God.
21:35What a belly-to-belly by the champion.
21:39Eddie Guerrero had built all that momentum
21:42and just like that, a snap of a finger.
21:44Until then, I give Eddie all the credit in the world.
21:46Kept coming back, coming back.
21:48Kept coming for the knee and then boom, just like that.
21:50That suplex is a difference maker.
21:52Referee Brian Hebner on the count of five.
21:54It was a double count out here.
21:56Giving Eddie credit here, Paul.
21:58I mean, Eddie lasted a lot longer than I thought he would.
22:01And he's giving the champion a ton to handle.
22:03Brock Lesnar makes it to his feet.
22:05The count has been stopped.
22:06Brock Lesnar, the champion, now stalking Eddie Guerrero.
22:09Brock looks P.O'd.
22:11Brock does not look happy.
22:13Now here, going for maybe a vertical sum-up.
22:16Eddie Guerrero countered.
22:18Eddie off the ropes and rolls right in.
22:21Wow!
22:22Looked like a tilt-and-roll, but Eddie countered with leg scissors.
22:24Yeah, that was a tilt-and-roll.
22:25They didn't have head scissors.
22:26And Brock Lesnar's reeling him right in here.
22:28Eddie right to the knee again.
22:30Knocking the champion down.
22:31Eddie Guerrero continues the assault on the left knee of Brock Lesnar.
22:36Again, Eddie trying to get this figure four on him.
22:40Couldn't do it before, but Eddie got it now.
22:41Eddie's got it in.
22:42Eddie just locked in the figure four.
22:44Brock Lesnar, the champion, riding in pain.
22:47Will Lesnar tap out?
22:48Will Eddie win the title here?
22:50Brock's got to try to turn to his stomach to alleviate the pain
22:53and switch the pain up to Eddie.
22:55I don't know if Brock can do that.
22:57Brock Lesnar has tapped out before to a submission hold.
23:00Will it happen again here tonight?
23:02I think the four is an extremely painful maneuver.
23:07All you've got to do is look at the position of the left knee.
23:09The injured knee of Brock Lesnar.
23:10That's where all the pressure's going from Eddie Guerrero.
23:12You can see the knees twist.
23:13They're coming.
23:14Shoulders down.
23:15Brock Lesnar rolls out.
23:16See, that's the thing.
23:17You can't lay back.
23:18You're trying.
23:19Relax for a second because you can't.
23:20Look at how strong Lesnar is.
23:21Look at that.
23:22Lesnar dragging Eddie Guerrero across the ring.
23:24Lesnar needs to make it to the bottom rope,
23:26or the championship is in jeopardy here.
23:30Lesnar knows that.
23:31Lesnar realizes he's near that bottom rope.
23:34Can't quite see how close Brock is to Eddie.
23:36He's closer to the door.
23:37Brock Lesnar is writhing in pain.
23:40Trying to battle through it.
23:41The champion is, but Eddie Guerrero continues the assault
23:45on the knee of the champion Lesnar.
23:47Gets to the bottom rope.
23:50So close for Eddie Guerrero.
23:52Eddie Guerrero has a five count to break that hold,
23:54and it was smart for Eddie Guerrero to keep that hold on
23:58to put as much pain as he could into the knee of Brock Lesnar.
24:02The tide has shifted in this matchup.
24:04The challenger, Eddie Guerrero, is assaulting the champion.
24:09Taking out the injured knee at every turn.
24:12And now, Chris Griffin has legs.
24:15And again.
24:18I don't want to say that Eddie Guerrero could do this,
24:21but could this be the night for Eddie Guerrero?
24:23Could this be the night for the challenger?
24:25I'm beginning to think it is, Taz.
24:27Well, I don't know.
24:28Cole, Lesnar's in trouble here.
24:31Back to that STF on the side now.
24:34He's twisting that knee.
24:36It's the versatility of Eddie Guerrero
24:38switching on that submission.
24:40Will Brock Lesnar tap out?
24:41Will the champion tap out to the challenger, Eddie Guerrero?
24:45STF stands to step over toe hold face lock,
24:48which is, you grab the head to control the knee.
24:51And how in a, look at that powerful there.
24:53Lesnar just powers out.
24:55That strong upper body to power his way out.
24:59But look at the champion.
25:01Lesnar is in trouble.
25:02Brock Lesnar is in trouble.
25:03Smart game plan by Eddie.
25:05Didn't think Eddie could do it.
25:06But Eddie just picking up a lot.
25:08What a surprise.
25:09Another German.
25:10A release German by Lesnar.
25:12Goodness, that's unbelievable.
25:15Brock Lesnar, how do you defeat Brock Lesnar?
25:18Brock Lesnar down, Eddie Guerrero down.
25:21Both these superstars have left it all out on the mat
25:23in this championship matchup
25:25for a spot in the main event at WrestleMania.
25:28Brock Lesnar to his feet.
25:29Eddie's to his feet first up.
25:30What's Eddie doing?
25:31What's he doing?
25:32What a spine buster.
25:34That's gotta be it.
25:35This could do it, Cole.
25:36If Brock can get a cover here,
25:38this could be the end of Latino Heat.
25:40Brock Lesnar crawling to the cover.
25:42Here we go.
25:43It was a great match.
25:44Eddie put up a hell of a fight.
25:46The champion covers.
25:47Guerrero.
25:48Kicks out.
25:50They're used to earthquakes here.
25:51Look, another cover.
25:52Another one.
25:53And again, the shoulder out.
25:54Freddie Guerrero.
25:55They're used to earthquakes here in San Francisco.
25:57Nothing quite like this, however.
25:58Yeah.
25:59Let's listen to it.
26:02How do you explain that impact?
26:04And now Brock.
26:06It looks like, yeah, he's got a wing hook,
26:08a head hook, and his arm hook.
26:11And with that body scissors,
26:13completely immobilizing Eddie Guerrero.
26:15Notice how Brock Lesnar's got it in a way
26:16where he's using his right leg
26:18and not the injured left leg.
26:19Good point.
26:20Brock Lesnar trying to wear down Eddie Guerrero.
26:23Good job of that.
26:26He's proud of the Cow Palace,
26:27trying to will on the challenger, Eddie Guerrero.
26:30That looks like Brock might have turned into a sleeper.
26:34Or possibly a rear naked choke also could be added.
26:37When you have your legs wrapped around the man,
26:39it's just that the guy can't move his lower body
26:42to shift his weight around to keep him in one spot.
26:45Eddie Guerrero seems to be fading a bit here.
26:48Brock Lesnar with that right arm, that hand,
26:51across the forehead, across the temple of Eddie Guerrero.
26:54I mean, I don't know how Eddie Guerrero
26:56did not lose this match ten minutes ago.
26:58Eddie Guerrero trying to battle out.
26:59Eddie Guerrero had picked up the pace,
27:01but the champion Lesnar has now slowed it down.
27:03Eddie Guerrero to his knees.
27:04The challenger trying to make it to his feet.
27:07How the hell does Eddie Guerrero to his knees here?
27:10And now-
27:11Well, look at how Brock's keeping his weight
27:12on Eddie Guerrero.
27:14That riding time, that's what they're calling
27:16the amateur ranks.
27:17He's riding the man.
27:18And again, look at that tight grip.
27:20Lesnar head first off the second turnbuckle.
27:23That crafty Eddie Guerrero.
27:25Eddie Guerrero knocking Lesnar down.
27:27Eddie Guerrero, the challenger,
27:30out on the apron.
27:32As you take another look,
27:33Eddie Guerrero, he's climbing high.
27:36Eddie Guerrero's going up top here.
27:37Eddie Guerrero-
27:38He's gonna fly.
27:39With the missile dropkick
27:40and Brock Lesnar rolled out of the way.
27:42Gotta be it now if Brock could capitalize
27:44on that missed missile dropkick by Eddie.
27:48Look at Brock, Brock's down too.
27:50Brock Lesnar showed some traces of blood
27:52perhaps trickling from the nose
27:54after coming off that second turnbuckle.
27:56And now's the point of the match
27:57where fatigue may begin to set in.
27:59And that knee is bothering Lesnar.
28:01Look at that knee.
28:02Oh, what a suplex.
28:03Lesnar did his back off from that vertical suplex
28:05and did it on one leg, his right leg.
28:07When you don't have a good knee
28:08and you deliver a suplex,
28:09you can't get it all into it.
28:10So it's a cable over the blood
28:11pouring out of the face.
28:12Just die!
28:14Did you hear that?
28:15Just die, Eddie.
28:17That's the animal Brock Lesnar.
28:19But the challenger, Eddie Guerrero,
28:20will not die in this matchup.
28:23Not yet anyway.
28:25It's just at the beginning,
28:27just a slow death.
28:28That's what this is,
28:29especially when a guy,
28:30an athlete like Lesnar,
28:31applies a reverse gut wrench submission here.
28:34Brock Lesnar made a broken nose
28:36after he hit the turnbuckle.
28:37But it's not affecting the champion here
28:39as he has that gut lock here
28:41locked into Eddie Guerrero.
28:43It's a reverse gut wrench.
28:44And anytime Brock wants,
28:46he can lift it and control Eddie here.
28:48Eddie's in trouble.
28:49Again, he's in trouble.
28:51Do you think perhaps that Brock Lesnar
28:54is desperate?
28:55Perhaps an act of desperation
28:56when he screamed at Eddie Guerrero?
28:58Just die, Eddie.
28:59Just die.
29:00I don't know, maybe.
29:01I don't know.
29:02I don't know.
29:03I'm not sure.
29:04Let's see.
29:05Eddie's still hanging on though.
29:06And if you're the champion, Lesnar,
29:07you have to be shocked, surprised,
29:09that this match has gone this long.
29:11I think Brock Lesnar really thought
29:13he was gonna have a cakewalk out here tonight.
29:15I did too.
29:16I thought Brock was gonna have a cakewalk.
29:19It didn't turn out that way.
29:20Eddie Guerrero is a gamer.
29:22Absolutely no doubt about it.
29:24And you always know the intangible
29:26that you can't measure.
29:27It's been said a million times before,
29:29but it's true.
29:30That is a man's heart.
29:31And Eddie Guerrero, the challenger,
29:32has stayed in this matchup thus far,
29:34but the champion continues to pressure.
29:37Brock, no signs of Brock anywhere
29:39in that reverse gut wrench.
29:41Oh, what a throw!
29:43Nice gut wrench suplex right there.
29:45That's a freestyle version
29:46of a gut wrench suplex.
29:47And every time Eddie Guerrero
29:48starts to build some momentum,
29:50just die again, you hear Brock Lesnar
29:52screaming at Eddie.
29:55The champion perhaps getting
29:56a bit frustrated.
29:57Look at this.
29:58Shoulders down, Eddie Guerrero
29:59just gets the shoulder up.
30:01Oh, man, look at Lesnar.
30:03Shoulders down again, and Eddie rolls out.
30:05Lesnar looks like he's back
30:06in the rest of the room
30:07at University of Minnesota here
30:08with these gut wrenches,
30:09rolling back into a bridge,
30:11and putting Eddie's shoulders to the mat,
30:13forcing Eddie to cave in.
30:15Shoulders to the mat,
30:16forcing Eddie to kick out,
30:17forcing Eddie to insert more energy.
30:19Now Lesnar wearing the challenger
30:21Eddie Guerrero down again.
30:25What can Eddie do now, Cole?
30:27You gotta try and break that grip
30:28of Lesnar, which is so hard to do.
30:30That's almost a look in the eyes
30:31of Eddie Guerrero.
30:32We just saw moments ago
30:33with Stephen saying, like,
30:34right now, what do I gotta do?
30:36How do I do this?
30:37Looking through the eyes,
30:39Guerrero realizes he's in trouble here.
30:42Lesnar's got that butterfly grip
30:44locked in.
30:45Eddie Guerrero.
30:47Looks like he's going for
30:48a higher power.
30:49Eddie Guerrero may need
30:50a higher power.
30:52Eddie Guerrero, a headbutt,
30:54and another one to the side
30:55of the face of Lesnar.
30:57Eddie Guerrero has turned
30:58things around.
30:59A headbutt to block Lesnar.
31:00How the hell did Eddie do this?
31:02Eddie Guerrero with another
31:03headbutt.
31:04The champion down to one knee.
31:06The champion back to his feet.
31:08The challenger Eddie Guerrero
31:09with a headbutt again.
31:11Eddie Guerrero.
31:12Oh, man!
31:13Back to the knee.
31:14The injured knee of Lesnar
31:15goes to the challenger.
31:17The back of the head.
31:19All that Eddie's been through
31:20this match, he still realizes
31:21to go after that knee.
31:23Look at this!
31:24Oh, head scissors!
31:26Lesnar's in trouble.
31:28The challenger Eddie Guerrero
31:29reaching deep down inside again.
31:32Brock Lesnar, that knee
31:33is still bothering him.
31:35I was just about to say
31:36momentum back to Eddie.
31:37Once again, the champion
31:38with a knee to the midsection.
31:40You never know when Lesnar's
31:41gonna strike.
31:42Boom!
31:43Nobody home off the top turnbuckle.
31:44Brock Lesnar again.
31:45Eddie rolled out of the way.
31:46Eddie Guerrero, Latino,
31:48he's beginning to fire up.
31:51What's Eddie gonna do here?
31:52Suplex of his own!
31:54Let's see if Eddie can do
31:55what he's thinking,
31:56Eddie Guerrero.
31:57Hanging on to that head,
31:58spinning the hips
31:59with those triple vertical suplexes.
32:01There's the second one.
32:02Eddie Guerrero going for a hat trick.
32:04Can Eddie do the third one?
32:06Eddie, 300 pounds he's thrown.
32:08Trying to put Brock Lesnar,
32:09the champion, away.
32:10Eddie Guerrero back to his feet.
32:12There's a third!
32:13Eddie Guerrero with three suplexes!
32:16And how much did it take
32:17out of Guerrero, Cole?
32:18An amazing performance
32:19by Eddie Guerrero.
32:20The challenger
32:21beginning to feel it as Eddie.
32:25Eddie Guerrero.
32:27Eddie Guerrero going to the apron.
32:29Eddie Guerrero's gonna climb high.
32:31The champion in trouble
32:32in the middle of the ring.
32:34And he's gonna fly
32:35and he's gonna fly!
32:36Nobody home for the Fox Splash.
32:38Lesnar rolled out of the way.
32:40Eddie Guerrero,
32:41that may have been
32:42Guerrero's last chance.
32:44That was it.
32:45You're exactly right.
32:46That was Eddie Guerrero's last chance.
32:49Great, great outing by Eddie,
32:51but I'm telling you,
32:52I think that's that.
32:53Yeah, Brock Lesnar
32:54realizes that as well.
32:56Lesnar to his feet,
32:57stalking Eddie Guerrero.
32:58I don't think it's gonna be
32:59in the rematch,
33:00I can tell you that.
33:01Look at this, here we go!
33:02At five!
33:03I told you!
33:04Here comes the pain!
33:05At five!
33:06Into the referee!
33:07Guerrero,
33:08something to the F5!
33:09The referee,
33:10Brian Hector,
33:11knocked down!
33:12Wow!
33:13That F5,
33:14the momentum!
33:16Brock Lesnar
33:17going for the cover
33:18on Eddie Guerrero.
33:19The referee is down.
33:20Eddie Guerrero
33:21is down and out
33:22for the F5.
33:23Where's the ref?
33:24But so is the referee.
33:26Brock Lesnar.
33:27Let's get another ref out here.
33:28Has Eddie Guerrero
33:29covered,
33:30but the referee
33:31was knocked down
33:32in that F5.
33:33Okay,
33:34can we get another?
33:36Brock's gonna try
33:37and wake up Hector
33:38or something.
33:39Brock Lesnar,
33:40the champion,
33:41trying to figure out
33:42what to do here.
33:43Brock Lesnar,
33:44where the hell is he going?
33:45I don't know.
33:46Eddie's down,
33:47the referee is down,
33:48and Brock Lesnar
33:49is making his way
33:50out here,
33:51and this cannot be good.
33:52Oh no.
33:53Lesnar's coming
33:54for the money, Brock.
33:55Not this way!
33:56Guerrero's gonna stop
33:57Lesnar.
33:58The WWE Championship
33:59in his hands.
34:00What's Brock gonna do
34:01with this?
34:02I have no earthly idea,
34:03but this cannot be good.
34:04Lesnar's bringing
34:05the championship
34:06into the ring.
34:07Brock Lesnar
34:08has that championship gold
34:09in his hands
34:10in the ring.
34:11The referee's still down,
34:12so the referee's not
34:13gonna have a clue
34:14of whatever Brock
34:15has in mind.
34:16I don't know.
34:17What is Lesnar doing?
34:18I don't know, Lesnar.
34:19What the hell?
34:20Wait a minute!
34:21What the hell?
34:22Spear!
34:23That's Goldberg!
34:24Oh my God,
34:25where the hell
34:26did he come from?
34:27What the hell
34:28is he doing here?
34:29Goldberg just
34:30speared Brock Lesnar.
34:31You gotta be kidding me.
34:32What the?
34:33The champion's down.
34:34The challenger's down.
34:35The referee's down.
34:36I didn't get back in.
34:37They took him away
34:38in cuffs.
34:39Ross Goldberg
34:40speared
34:41our champion.
34:42Well, that's great.
34:43That's great.
34:44And then
34:45Goldberg just
34:46threw it
34:47at everybody.
34:48I don't know
34:49what's going on.
34:50I don't know
34:51what's going on.
34:52I don't know
34:53what's going on.
34:54I don't know
34:55what's going on.
34:56I don't know
34:57what's going on.
34:58I don't know
34:59what's going on.
35:00Goldberg just
35:01threw it at everybody.
35:02You don't
35:03business out here.
35:04But the champion's
35:05down.
35:06The challenger's down.
35:07The referee's been
35:08knocked down.
35:09Listen to this
35:10crowd.
35:11Don't tell me.
35:12Look.
35:13Don't tell me,
35:14Eddie.
35:15Look, look, look.
35:16Eddie Guerrero
35:17throwing toward
35:18the champion.
35:19Don't tell me.
35:20Eddie Guerrero
35:21covering the champion.
35:22Well, the ref's
35:23still down.
35:24Eddie Guerrero's
35:25gonna do it.
35:26Eddie's gonna steal it.
35:27Eddie's gonna steal it.
35:28Eddie's gonna steal it.
35:29He's gonna steal it.
35:30He's gonna steal it.
35:31Oh, my goodness.
35:32And he's gonna
35:33kick out Lesnar.
35:34How the hell
35:35did Lesnar kick out?
35:36Amazing.
35:37Amazing.
35:38Eddie Guerrero
35:39was gonna steal
35:40the title that time.
35:41Brock Lesnar
35:42kicked out.
35:43Lesnar just got
35:44speared by Goldberg.
35:45Lesnar had to
35:46kick out
35:47on instinct.
35:48Hey, wait a minute.
35:49Eddie Guerrero
35:50just grabbed that title.
35:51The referee's
35:52still down.
35:53Eddie Guerrero
35:54has that title
35:55in his hand.
35:56Eddie Guerrero
35:57champion's
35:58in gold.
35:59This won't be fair
36:00for you.
36:01This is not the
36:02champ.
36:03It's not his title.
36:04Eddie Guerrero's
