00:00Gentlemen here momentarily, it will be the legend killer Randy Orton versus the legend Ric Flair
00:06What kind of match will this be?
00:08We're going to find that out momentarily and show you how these two magnificent athletes got together
00:17Until you beat the Nate
00:22You'll never be a legend killer
00:27Ric Flair you tell all these people that I'm full of it for calling myself the legend killer
00:33Well, I think you're full of it for coming out here every Monday and telling the whole world
00:37That Triple H is the best wrestler in the world today. I know it's not true
00:42I'm pretty sure all these people know it's not true
00:47I know deep down inside your heart. You know, it's not true either
00:52which
00:53Is why it's so tragic
00:56To see what you've become
00:59This generation is gonna remember Ric Flair for kissing Triple H's ass
01:09Rick you ready, man?
01:12Rick did you hear me? I asked you if you were ready. I hear you, but I don't have some Triple H
01:20I'll answer to you
01:23And I'll be out there tonight when I'm ready
01:27Three of the Orton-less defeat Batista in this no disqualification match
01:31For Orton to be one of the contenders to face Triple H for the world title game at Taboo Tuesday
01:38Here comes the champ
01:40And the game is now on
01:42The Taboo Tuesday pressure has left the ring
01:44This is legal
01:46And here comes Ric Flair
01:48This generation is gonna remember Ric Flair for kissing Triple H's ass
01:57Oh buddy!
01:58Flair with a low blow and then that chair shot
02:01Right to the spine of Randy Orton
02:03Look at the loyalty shown by the Nature Boy
02:06Orton has been eliminated from Taboo Tuesday's world title consideration
02:12Thanks to Evolution
02:14And Nate
02:17Ric Flair cost me the world heavyweight championship
02:23I will get even
02:25Ever since my match was announced at Taboo Tuesday
02:31I've had mixed emotions
02:33I feel pity for the man
02:35I'm sad
02:36I don't wanna face the Ric Flair
02:38That took a backseat ride with Evolution
02:41I wanna face the Nature Boy
02:44Did I hear you say you feel sorry for me?
02:52I am the man
02:56I invented being the man
02:59You've established that you are great
03:04But a legend killer you're not
03:07Ric Flair you put me in this position
03:11You named me the legend killer
03:13And after Tuesday you will respect me
03:18Taboo Tuesday
03:20Don't worry about the shell of a man showing up
03:23Worry about the man walking out
03:26Look as old as he can look
03:28And I wanna take everything that you want away from you
03:33You will respect me
03:40Ladies and gentlemen you have one more job to do
03:44That's to help decide what kind of match
03:47Randy Orton and Ric Flair will have right now
03:51There are three choices
03:53Here in Milwaukee do you wanna see a Falls Count Anywhere Match?
04:01Do you wanna see a Submission Match?
04:07Or would you like to see a Steel Cage Match tonight?
04:13Wow
04:17Without a doubt live here in Milwaukee they wanna see a Steel Cage Match
04:21But let's see what the worldwide internet audience wanted
04:27Here the results are right now
04:31Wow
04:32It is absolutely, absolutely unanimous
04:36The worldwide internet, the live audience here in Milwaukee
04:40Will get to see Randy Orton and Ric Flair
04:43One on one inside of that Steel Cage
04:47Coming down right now
04:52I don't know JR if this is good for the Nature Boy
04:56I think he would have preferred a Submission Match
04:58He would have loved to have made Randy Orton tap out to that famous figure four leg lock
05:02And he can still do it King inside the Steel Cage
05:05Let's not forget Ric Flair won a world championship in 1983
05:10Against the legendary Harley Race inside a Steel Cage
05:13He knows what they're all about
05:21Wow
05:23Look at the finery
05:26The following is a Steel Cage Match
05:29Where the only way to win is by either escaping the cage, pinfall or submission
05:35Introducing first, from Charlotte, North Carolina
05:38The Nature Boy, Ric Flair
05:42You know what the world cost JR?
05:44No sir, a lot of bucks
05:46I know, $15,000
05:51I gave him my first home
05:54Well Ric Flair, the 16 time former world champion
05:57No doubt a legend, every time you see him folks
06:00He is a piece of wrestling history
06:02A living piece of history
06:04Talking about guys from the Hall of Fame
06:06This guy should have a wing in the Hall of Fame named after him
06:09As far as many folks are concerned
06:12He is a legend
06:19And from St. Louis, Missouri
06:21Weighing in at 255 pounds
06:24Randy Orton
06:2724 years of age
06:29A third generation superstar
06:32Halfway nine of the legend killer
06:36Let's not forget Mr. Mann
06:38That beat Nick Corley at Wrestlemania
06:40Yeah I know that
06:42So what do you think?
06:44Do you think this young man is going to be the legend killer tonight JR?
06:48I can tell something by the inflection in your voice
06:50You just seem to get a little more excited when you saw Randy Orton
06:53Well I'm excited about this matchup
06:56And I tell you Flair, the war horse
07:00Those 16 world title reigns
07:02The steel dropping down across his carcass
07:06You know what I would bet you
07:08I would bet you that Ric Flair has had more steel cage matches
07:12That Randy Orton has even had matches JR
07:15I think you're right about that, no doubt
07:19What a way to end Taboo Tuesday
07:22My crown is off to the fans tonight
07:25For their voting, tremendous
07:27Fans of voices were heard
07:29They were in complete control here tonight
07:31And it shows on the knockdown by Randy Orton
07:37Randy Orton and the legend
07:39Flair himself said Randy Orton is great
07:42You don't become a world heavyweight champion
07:45Especially the youngest one in history
07:47Without being great
07:48That immediately makes you great
07:50But it doesn't make you a legend
07:52Orton reverses Flair in the corner
07:54And Flair reverses right back
07:56Who will have the highest threshold of pain
07:58Who will be the most resilient
08:00Inside the steel here tonight
08:02At an unforgettable Taboo Tuesday
08:06High back body drop
08:07Flair taken in the lights
08:09By the legend killer young Randy Orton
08:11Look at Flair now, he can climb out of this thing and win it
08:14He can win it by escaping the cage
08:16Pitfall or submission
08:18And Orton says not this time nature boy
08:21You see how quick Orton got up there
08:24Flair's left thumb is
08:26That's because he's the dirtiest player in the game
08:28They don't earn that reputation
08:30They're shoving Orton
08:31Kicking Orton off that top rope
08:33And Flair back down
08:34And knocking Orton down again
08:36This is so personal to Ric Flair
08:38He feels like he's certainly got a point to prove
08:42Last night overall
08:43We listened to those disparaging remarks
08:49Inside the cage
08:50That's a legal maneuver
08:52We listened to those disparaging remarks
08:54From Jimmy Kimmel
08:55That Randy Orton agreed with
08:57Well hey Jimmy Kimmel
08:58Suck on that right there
09:00How was that?
09:01I don't know if Randy necessarily agreed with
09:03With Kimmel's remarks
09:05It was an entertaining comedy show
09:08And Orton taking face first
09:10A handsome young man from St. Louis
09:12Got a taste for the steel cage
09:14Orton's certainly not laughing now is he?
09:16I bet he wishes he was back on the comedy show
09:18Look at this!
09:19Look at this!
09:20Look at this!
09:21Orton has busted open here
09:23That didn't take long did it?
09:26One shot from the master
09:27One shot right face first in the cage by Flair
09:30And it sliced Orton open
09:32Randy Orton has been busted open
09:34Thanks to the steel cage
09:35Surrounding this ring
09:37Boy oh boy
09:38You know I used to say that Randy Orton was
09:40Was GQ cover boy material
09:42But I'm gonna tell you something
09:44He's got an opportunity tonight
09:46To get his entire face rearranged
09:47Courtesy of the Nature Boy
09:49Flair with a renewed vigor it seems
09:53Oh yeah I can tell you from experience
09:54It always does something good for you to see your opponent in blood
09:57Flair victorious last night in that tag team matchup
10:01And continuing that roll here tonight
10:04As far as Flair is concerned
10:06Figure four of Flair's made Jericho tap out last night
10:09Oh look at this! Grinding the face!
10:11Oh man!
10:12Randy Orton into that steel cage
10:14Trying to block it with everything he can
10:16Flair got both hands in the mouth of Orton
10:18Wrecking his face like it was a coleslaw
10:21That's the dirtiest Flair in the game
10:23Coleslaw that's a good one
10:24That's exactly what Flair would like to make out of Orton's face here tonight
10:28Orton barely able to stand up
10:29And Flair the dirtiest player in the game again
10:32Rearranging the handsome young features of Randy Orton here
10:36In this steel cage match
10:38That was voted on by over four million fans
10:42And received 68% of the vote
10:45Poor Randy may not be so handsome after this cage match
10:50I guarantee you John Carrier, President Bush
10:53Is not going to get 68% of the vote
10:55This was an overwhelming landslide
10:57And Flair
10:58Well Bush should but I don't know if he will
11:01Dropping that knee
11:03That's what the WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race would do in his prime
11:08Right in the face of Randy Orton
11:10And Flair again with a right hand
11:12He measured Orton on that shot
11:14And Ric Flair
11:15Flair again the flat of the boot right to the face
11:18You know what JR I'm looking at this right now
11:21I don't know
11:22This is getting bad
11:23I don't know if Orton's going to be able to recover from this
11:25I can assure you
11:26That Randy Orton never dreamed in his wildest dreams
11:29That he would be bleeding like a stuck pig
11:31Another knockdown by Flair
11:33About five minutes into this match
11:34Oh look at Flair
11:35Flair's got Orton's blood all over his right hand
11:37Inside the unforgiving solid steel cage
11:41In a match that can be won by one of three ways
11:44Escaping the cage
11:45Pinfall
11:46Or submission
11:47There's no time limit
11:48And there's no count outs
11:50There's no disqualifications
11:52Could this thing be stocked for loss of blood?
11:56It might
11:57That's a reckless call
11:58To the comedy
11:59But
12:00Orton trying to fight back into it here
12:02Orton took Flair's best shot
12:08And the Nature Boy
12:09Went face first
12:10I'm not sure that Flair did hit that
12:12The support beam
12:14I think his face
12:15His head went right into that steel cage
12:17That's not good for the Nature Boy
12:19For the first time
12:20Flair's head has gone into the unforgiving steel
12:23The steel doesn't give a damn who wins this match
12:26Orton is bleeding
12:27Flair is bleeding
12:28Oh no
12:29The Nature Boy is bleeding
12:31Flair bleeding
12:32Now Flair trying to escape
12:34He could win it by escaping
12:35Wait a minute
12:36Wait a minute
12:39Orton grabbing Flair's tights
12:40To hold him in the ring
12:41How can this happen in that lingerie match?
12:43Oh
12:44Flair's head
12:45Cracking on that
12:46That pipe
12:47That's
12:48No
12:49Holding the cage
12:50And again and again
12:51Unrelenting is Randy Orton
12:54Orton just
12:56Oh no
12:59Flair
13:00Straddling that
13:01Top rope
13:03Is bleeding like a sieve here
13:05And Orton is just barely holding himself up
13:08Oh my gosh
13:09This is bad now
13:10This is bad for Nature Boy
13:13Man this has got ugly in a hurry
13:15Inside a steel cage
13:16Here at Taboo Tuesday
13:19Four million of you voted
13:21This is what you wanted
13:22And this is what's being delivered
13:24And Randy Orton delivering thunderous right hands
13:27To the bloody face of Rip Flair
13:30Boy you can tell the way this thing is going
13:32That it's going to finally settle the score
13:35It's going to be the legendary one-legged killer
13:37A long blow
13:40And Flair's face
13:41Beginning to be that crimson mask
13:44That has been described over the years
13:46But Flair stopped the aggression of Orton
13:49With that low blow
13:50And again no disqualification
13:55Man this has turned into a real
13:56I mean a fist fight
13:58A street fight
13:59Inside a cage
14:02Orton now measuring Flair's right
14:05In the left
14:06Get in there
14:07Stop those fists
14:09Boy King it's no disqualification
14:14That's not how you win the match
14:15With your fist
14:16You climb out of the cage
14:17King this is a steel cage match
14:18I know that
14:19There's no disqualification here
14:21It is a brutal physical match
14:24It is so unforgiving
14:25So career shortening
14:27Oh no
14:28Oh no
14:29Now Flair's face
14:30Leaving
14:31Leaving right
14:32At the dermis of this cage
14:34Turnabout for Flair
14:35Play there
14:38Orton off
14:39On Ric Flair
14:40The rights and lefts
14:41Flair couldn't get his hands up
14:43Flair dropkick
14:44Nowhere to go but down
14:47That cage did
14:48I don't think it moved a damn inch
14:49Oh Flair's masked back into that steel
14:51Steel cage
14:52And then like you said
14:53Straight down
14:54But look
14:55Look at Nature Boy
14:56Flair climbing back up
14:57Maybe Flair
14:58Gonna try to escape now
14:59Over the top of the cage
15:00Both feet touch the floor
15:01Oh let him go Randy
15:04He's lounging him
15:05Randy's let Flair go all right
15:07From the top turnbuckle to the center of the ring
15:10I'm gonna tell you something
15:11Randy Orton looks in horrible shape as well
15:15Now he's gonna try to get out of here
15:17Catching Nate
15:18Oh wait
15:19Orton poised on that top turnbuckle
15:21What's he gonna do here?
15:22Orton a crossbody on Flair
15:24Orton with a crossbody
15:26Oh Flair got a shoulder up
15:27At the very last second
15:29Orton came off the top turnbuckle
15:31With a crossbody block
15:33That got a near fall out of the situation
15:36Both men have beaten each other bloody here
15:39Oh no
15:41Inverted neck and back breaker
15:44Flair holding that back here
15:46Flair writhing in pain
15:47The cover by Orton
15:48And Flair got a shoulder up
15:50Barely got a shoulder up
15:53Come on Nature Boy
15:54Reach down
15:56Think about
15:57Think about your illustrious past
15:59Think about your career
16:00There it is
16:01A fairly hard shot
16:02And that caught Orton right in the throat
16:04And a little knockdown
16:05Flair now
16:06Fighting back
16:08Flair fighting back
16:09And now Flair maybe
16:10Just crawling toward the door
16:12Get out of that cage
16:13Win this match
16:14Flair can win
16:15He can win by escape
16:16Both feet gotta touch the floor
16:18Don't forget that
16:19Oh look at Orton
16:20Here comes Orton
16:21Orton restraining Flair
16:23Pulling Flair back into the cage
16:26What a physically intense matchup
16:29Between the legend
16:30And the legend killer
16:31In a hard form
16:32A vile shot
16:34By Randy Orton
16:35On the back of Flair's head
16:39Hey, hey, hey, hey
16:41It's legal
16:42You said it
16:43Everything's legal
16:44Oh
16:45Fresh nuts
16:46Oh
16:47Oh
16:48Jimmy Kimmel
16:49Eat your damn words now
16:50Flair put the evidence away
16:52Even though still disqualification
16:54He's done it
16:55He's won the game
16:56And he's done it
16:58What
16:59I don't believe it
17:00What
17:03And the
17:04Orton
17:05Flair got the use of nuts
17:07But Orton still was able
17:08Somehow
17:09Some way
17:10To kick out before the three count
17:13How did he do that?
17:14I have no earthly idea
17:16Flair's got a chance here though
17:18To escape the cage
17:19And win this match
17:20Get out
17:21Come on Rick
17:22He's out, he's out
17:23Get your feet on the floor
17:24Feet on the floor
17:25Flair's not getting both feet on the floor
17:27He's turning out of the cage
17:28Orton is desperate
17:29To lock Flair in the cage
17:31He's serious to escape
17:36Come on Nate
17:37Flair's grabbing that chair
17:41Flair's bringing that chair back to the ring
17:43Nothing the referee can do about that
17:45It's legal
17:46It's legal
17:47Once again the dirtiest player in the game
17:49He's so resourceful
17:50We saw
17:51We saw Snitsky do some serious damage
17:53To the chair
17:54Whoa
17:55Whoa!
17:56RKO!
17:58Orton got the RKO out of nowhere
18:03And what a meet your nature ball
18:05But by God, Randy Orton
18:07Here is your winner
18:09Randy Orton
18:11Look at Orton in the bloody mess
18:14Randy Orton has paid a supreme price
18:17To step inside the steel
18:19For the legendary Rip Flair
18:21But tonight
18:22Thanks to the RKO
18:24A bloody and battered Randy Orton
18:27Is indeed the legend killer
18:32My gosh
