00:01:29A match made by the man in charge for tonight's final chapter of the Triple Threat Takeover.
00:01:34Triple H is in charge and he's putting John Cena and Randy Orton in a tag match against
00:01:40the entire Raw roster.
00:01:43Unbelievable!
00:01:44Raw!
00:01:45Yeah!
00:01:46Yeah!
00:01:47Yeah!
00:01:48Yeah!
00:01:49Welcome to Raw is John O'Connor!
00:01:56And this is the Highlight Reel!
00:02:03Now first, without further ado, I would like to introduce my first guest tonight.
00:02:07She's shiny.
00:02:09She's sexy.
00:02:10She's sassy.
00:02:12She's been around the block, but she always comes home to daddy.
00:02:15Ladies and gentlemen, the Intercontinental Championship!
00:02:21Oh, yeah!
00:02:23Because last week I became the Intercontinental Champion for the record-setting eighth time!
00:02:31That eclipses the previous record of seven that was held by...
00:02:36Oh, that was me.
00:02:39And my next guest tonight also holds a record, because no one had had the honor of holding
00:02:47a record, because no one had had a clip aired more times of getting punched in the face
00:02:53incessantly than this man.
00:02:56Ladies and gentlemen and Jericho-holics, he is the opponent for Floyd Money Mayweather
00:03:01at WrestleMania.
00:03:03He is the largest athlete in the world.
00:03:06Ladies and gentlemen, The Big Show!
00:03:09Yeah, I'm Mr. Big Show!
00:03:16It's the Big Man Show now!
00:03:24Yeah, I'm Mr. Big Show!
00:03:30What an amazing athletic specimen.
00:03:33Weighed in last week in the official weigh-in at 441 and a quarter pounds.
00:03:39Oh, my goodness.
00:03:40To Floyd Money Mayweather's 159 pounds.
00:03:50I don't know if The Big Show is going to take too kindly to Jericho.
00:03:54Bringing the fact out about that clip of Big Show being punched by Floyd Mayweather so many times.
00:04:00It's been seen all over the world.
00:04:11Welcome, Mr. Show.
00:04:13Please, please have a seat.
00:04:16Have a seat.
00:04:17Now, first of all, let me congratulate you on finally giving these fans a new clip to
00:04:22talk about, besides the one where Mayweather was using your face as a pinata.
00:04:26Boom, boom, boom.
00:04:27Let's go to the obscenely, profusely expensive, so expensive that Mayweather and his $20 million
00:04:34can't even afford it.
00:04:35The highly technical Jeritron 6000 in high definition.
00:04:41Monkeys, let it rip.
00:04:58Wow, you know, that's what I call a highlight.
00:05:20See, that clip just reinforces the fact that no one likes Floyd Mayweather.
00:05:28No one in our locker room likes him.
00:05:32His own peers don't like him.
00:05:34None of these people here like him.
00:05:40You know, I hope Floyd Mayweather understands how much trouble he's really in.
00:05:44I mean, let me use you for an example, Chris, if I may.
00:05:48You're a big WWE superstar.
00:05:50You are way more skilled in the ring than Floyd Mayweather.
00:05:54You outweigh him by 60, 70 pounds.
00:05:57But you and I both know, you against me in the ring, you wouldn't last two minutes.
00:06:03So what chance does Floyd Mayweather have?
00:06:05What chance does Floyd Mayweather have?
00:06:29That's kind of an interesting thought show.
00:06:31I have to agree with you and kind of disagree with you.
00:06:33That nobody likes Floyd Mayweather, but I have to be honest with you.
00:06:36Everybody still thinks that you're a jackass.
00:06:44Maybe not as big of a jackass as Mayweather, but a jackass all the same.
00:06:47And as far as this, I couldn't last two minutes with you nonsense goes.
00:06:51Let me remind you who you're talking to, show.
00:06:53This is not Floyd Mayweather.
00:06:55This is Chris Jericho, Y2J.
00:06:59The first undisputed champion in WWE history.
00:07:02I beat the rock and stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night to do so.
00:07:08And at WrestleMania, when I'm climbing the ladder to grab the money in the bank briefcase,
00:07:13you're going to be climbing around on the floor, grabbing the teeth that Mayweather
00:07:17knocks out of your jaw.
00:07:21And furthermore, you heard me.
00:07:24Hold on a second.
00:07:26Hold on a second.
00:07:28Easy, Napoleon.
00:07:30Okay.
00:07:32Obviously, I touched a nerve.
00:07:34I wasn't saying that you were Floyd Mayweather.
00:07:37I'm saying that you're the WWE's equivalent to Floyd Mayweather.
00:07:41You're loud.
00:07:43You're arrogant.
00:07:44You're disrespectful.
00:07:47And you are in way over your head.
00:07:57I see the way you're looking at me.
00:07:59You don't believe me?
00:08:01You want to try me?
00:08:03I'm thinking Chris Jericho versus The Big Show.
00:08:07For the Intercontinental title.
00:08:10Tonight.
00:08:11Right here.
00:08:20What's the matter, Chris?
00:08:22Cat got your tongue?
00:08:24You got something better to do?
00:08:26I mean, with that fancy haircut you got,
00:08:29you look like you're out for a night of singing karaoke to Justin Timberlake.
00:08:37Then again, I've heard you sing.
00:08:39Probably not a good idea.
00:08:45You know, that's pretty funny.
00:08:47Even though I am bringing sexy back to the WWE.
00:08:52That is pretty funny.
00:08:54It's as funny as when you were the co-host of Saturday Night Live eight years ago,
00:08:58but unfortunately you've been bombing ever since.
00:09:03So you want a match tonight?
00:09:05Let me tell you this, Big Show.
00:09:07This is the highlight reel.
00:09:08Anything goes.
00:09:10So if you want it, you got it.
00:09:12Jericho, Big Show, Intercontinental Championship.
00:09:15Tonight, Junior.
00:09:21Firewalls.
00:09:43Well, this is absolutely amazing.
00:09:46What a big night this is going to be.
00:09:48We're going to see an Intercontinental Championship match.
00:09:51Chris Jericho against the Big Show,
00:09:53and I'm afraid Jericho may be in over his head,
00:09:56but this is going to be a huge night.
00:09:58In addition, ladies and gentlemen,
00:10:00to that huge announcement, we heard some huge news,
00:10:03some big news from the chairman of the WWE,
00:10:06Mr. McMahon, earlier today.
00:10:09Here are these comments from the chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment.
00:10:19Imagine that.
00:10:21Me.
00:10:23The biggest star of them all.
00:10:25The brightest star of them all.
00:10:27Inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
00:10:31Me.
00:10:32Yeah, and imagine me on the Larry King show this Wednesday.
00:10:36Imagine me with, well, the stock market goes down,
00:10:40WB stock goes up.
00:10:44Imagine me, a personal best big squat of 700 pounds.
00:10:50Imagine me, grandfather of three and another one on the way.
00:10:54What could be better than all of that?
00:10:57Me celebrating St. Paddy's Day today.
00:11:01And what could I do to top all of that?
00:11:05Well, I know.
00:11:08I could end Ric Flair's career tonight.
00:11:13That's what I could do.
00:11:15You see, this is what's going to happen.
00:11:18It's going to be Ric Flair one-on-one with me,
00:11:22Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
00:11:25And I'm sure that you people in Shawn Michaels,
00:11:28you're not going to be too happy about this because
00:11:31I'm going to retire Ric Flair.
00:11:34It was my edict to begin with to say that
00:11:37the next time Ric Flair lost a match,
00:11:39that was going to be his last.
00:11:41And tonight is his last match.
00:11:43Me, one-on-one with Ric Flair.
00:11:46I will end his career tonight in a straight fight.
00:11:52The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:11:55Introducing first, representing ECW,
00:11:59from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 222 pounds,
00:12:05The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:12:08Introducing first, representing ECW,
00:12:11from Chicago, Illinois,
00:12:14weighing in at 222 pounds,
00:12:17CM Punk!
00:12:20The former ECW champion,
00:12:23who has qualified in the Money in the Bank ladder match,
00:12:26featured recently in a...
00:12:29outside of the ring.
00:12:33Outstanding!
00:12:35WWE magazine,
00:12:37of which I am a subscriber to.
00:12:39I've got my issue right here in front of me.
00:12:52I spit in the face of people who don't want to be caught.
00:12:57And making his way to the ring,
00:12:59And making his way to the ring,
00:13:01from the Caribbean, weighing in at 220 pounds,
00:13:04Carlito!
00:13:06CM Punk got the drop on ECW champion,
00:13:09Chavo Guerrero by pretending to be a mariachi performer
00:13:12in the magazine, as it illustrates.
00:13:15He won't get the drop on Carlito here tonight.
00:13:18And I'm sure the other five qualifiers
00:13:21in the Money in the Bank ladder match
00:13:24are going to be looking on closely at this matchup.
00:13:27One of the most eagerly anticipated matchups
00:13:30at WrestleMania 24.
00:13:38As a matter of fact, a Money in the Bank preview
00:13:41of sorts.
00:13:43Carlito and CM Punk.
00:13:45The only difference is, you don't have that
00:13:47Money in the Bank briefcase hanging high above the ring.
00:13:50And inside that briefcase is going to be that contract
00:13:52that is going to be good to face
00:13:55a WWE world champion from any brand,
00:13:58any time you want.
00:14:00All you have to do is, of course, win the Money in the Bank ladder match.
00:14:02Yeah, that's all.
00:14:04Briefcase hanging about 20 feet or so
00:14:07above the center of the ring at WrestleMania.
00:14:10You climb the ladder, you retrieve the briefcase,
00:14:12you win the match.
00:14:14And it is one of the most dangerous
00:14:17career-threatening situations
00:14:20that we will see at WrestleMania.
00:14:24And welcome to Monday Night Raw, CM Punk.
00:14:31Mr. Kennedy won the Money in the Bank ladder match
00:14:34and the winners of the Money in the Bank ladder match
00:14:36have had amazing success
00:14:39in cashing in and becoming champions.
00:14:44I think Mr. Kennedy assured everyone
00:14:47that he was going to once again...
00:14:49Let's check this out one more time, though.
00:14:51Oh, you see it here.
00:14:53CM Punk gets introduced to the floor.
00:14:56Owie!
00:14:58But I think Mr. Kennedy, didn't he say that he's going to
00:15:01win the match and then cash in
00:15:04that contract on the very same night?
00:15:06At WrestleMania.
00:15:07At WrestleMania. That's what Kennedy says.
00:15:09But if he's got to win it first, though, I would suggest.
00:15:12And CM Punk, who certainly uses a lot of unique
00:15:16variations of offense in his repertoire,
00:15:19only unique about two feet to the face from Carlito,
00:15:23the second-generation star.
00:15:25Oh!
00:15:26And a foot to the side of CM Punk's head.
00:15:31There will be some high flying going on as the cover
00:15:36during the Money in the Bank ladder match.
00:15:39I have issues climbing a 20-foot ladder
00:15:42to clean out my gutters.
00:15:43One more time, this vicious kick to the side of
00:15:46CM Punk's head, courtesy of Carlito there.
00:15:56CM Punk known for his
00:16:00great attitude and competitiveness.
00:16:02And there's a nice roll-up.
00:16:04A resourceful move by Punk.
00:16:07And Carlito responds with a handspring elbow.
00:16:12Will that be enough?
00:16:14And you hear the two count.
00:16:18Carlito with a lot of intensity here tonight.
00:16:25Carlito again with a cover.
00:16:27All these guys got to be getting speared up.
00:16:29They got to be pumped about WrestleMania.
00:16:31Being in that Money in the Bank match.
00:16:35He says no!
00:16:40Being as a wrestler yourself,
00:16:42you think that matches such as this preview
00:16:45provides an opportunity for a psychological edge?
00:16:50I don't know.
00:16:51I really don't know.
00:16:52I would actually have to say no
00:16:54because this is not anything like
00:16:56what that Money in the Bank ladder match is going to be like.
00:16:58I mean, you know, there's going to be
00:17:00a lot more guys in there.
00:17:01There's going to be that ladder involved.
00:17:04I don't think you're going to have many chances in that match
00:17:06to grab a front face lock or a hold
00:17:10or deliver a suplex like we're seeing here.
00:17:12It's going to be pretty much chaos in that match.
00:17:16The unique CM Punk follows Carlito in
00:17:18with a knee to the head
00:17:20and then the Bulldog headlock
00:17:22shoots to half Nelson.
00:17:29A close near fall created by that man,
00:17:32CM Punk, again, the former ECW champion.
00:17:37Seven qualifiers.
00:17:39Oh, what a counter that was!
00:17:42The high risk
00:17:44and the counter, that drop kick.
00:17:47That's great instinct by Carlito.
00:17:49Nothing but instinct here.
00:17:50I want to see that again.
00:17:51Carlito catching CM Punk in midair.
00:17:56And one shot to the solar plexus.
00:17:59Uh-oh, backstabber.
00:18:00And Punk able to utilize the ropes
00:18:04to prevent some disaster there.
00:18:08Punk may be thinking about going to sleep.
00:18:10Oh, yes.
00:18:15Carlito not sleeping.
00:18:17Hits the neck breaker, shoulders down.
00:18:20And Punk continues to fight out of the
00:18:23predicament after predicament.
00:18:26Well, you're not alone, Carlito.
00:18:27I can't believe it either.
00:18:29Seven qualifiers in the Money in the Bank ladder match
00:18:32from all three brands.
00:18:34And the educated feet of CM Punk
00:18:38just scored an A.
00:18:39Well, they have just made Carlito
00:18:41a little bit sleepy, a little drowsy.
00:18:51Uh-oh, uh-oh.
00:18:52Carlito caught the best spot.
00:18:55It's Punk.
00:18:56Oh, goes to sleep.
00:18:58Wow.
00:19:00The cover.
00:19:01It's academic.
00:19:04Oh, man.
00:19:06Here is your winner, CM Punk.
00:19:12Can the uniquely extreme CM Punk
00:19:17be the eventual winner
00:19:19for the seven-man Money in the Bank ladder match
00:19:23at WrestleMania?
00:19:26It's all about opportunity.
00:19:29Well, speaking of taking an opportunity,
00:19:32CM Punk caught Carlito in midair
00:19:35and then delivered that go to sleep
00:19:37and it was over.
00:19:39And I gotta say, I like CM Punk's chances in that match.
00:19:44One of the most eagerly anticipated matchups
00:19:46at WrestleMania, Money in the Bank.
00:19:49Well, I know you're looking forward to that,
00:19:51but I'll tell you what I'm looking forward to at WrestleMania.
00:19:54Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
00:19:55the general manager of RAW, William Regal.
00:20:06Gentlemen, as you know, in a little under two weeks,
00:20:09there will be a battle for brand supremacy at WrestleMania.
00:20:14Representing SmackDown will be Batista.
00:20:22Your opponent tonight will be representing RAW,
00:20:26the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga.
00:20:34Oh, my.
00:20:35So a two-on-one handicap match here.
00:20:38London and Kendrick against that man, Umaga.
00:20:42And if you were with us last week on Friday Night SmackDown,
00:20:48you saw Umaga make a very, very physical appearance
00:20:53in costing Batista the U.S. title.
00:20:57There was no holds barred.
00:20:59Batista challenging MVP.
00:21:02I don't know if you would call it an appearance.
00:21:04It was more like an invasion of SmackDown
00:21:07by the Samoan Bulldozer.
00:21:08And what a message was sent to Batista.
00:21:13Look at Umaga just towering over Batista.
00:21:16A sign of things to come, perhaps.
00:21:19We'll find out at WrestleMania 13 days from now.
00:21:22One thing's for sure.
00:21:24The Samoan Spike will put down even the animal Batista.
00:21:34I wouldn't want to be in the colorful tights
00:21:38of London and Kendrick right now.
00:21:42Two-on-one handicap match.
00:21:46Uh-oh.
00:21:48Oh, my God.
00:21:49Good strength.
00:21:51This is amazing power.
00:21:53And a double-decker.
00:21:57Oh, my God.
00:21:58Samoan drop by the super heavyweight Umaga.
00:22:05I can only imagine and envision the physicality
00:22:10that we will see when Batista goes face-to-face with Umaga.
00:22:16Look at the strength and the power of Umaga.
00:22:20I don't know if I've ever seen anything like that.
00:22:23Double Samoan drop.
00:22:29Good.
00:22:31That'll cave your chest in.
00:22:33The other amazing attribute of many of Umaga
00:22:36is the fact that he may be close to 400 pounds,
00:22:40but he is extremely athletic,
00:22:44extremely agile,
00:22:50and obviously very dominant.
00:23:02That's just insane.
00:23:07The Samoan Bulldozer
00:23:10now sets his sights on Brian Kendrick.
00:23:15Brian luckily out of the ring.
00:23:18Paul London is totally out of it over there.
00:23:23London took the full blunt of the power and the force of Umaga.
00:23:40Umaga glancing up at the WrestleMania sign
00:23:43and a la Batista.
00:23:45Oh, man, the Samoan spike
00:23:49right into the throat of Paul London.
00:23:57Here's your winner, Umaga.
00:24:00Complete domination
00:24:03by the amazingly athletic super heavyweight
00:24:07who will not back down from the animal Batista
00:24:11at WrestleMania.
00:24:16Yeah, man, check this out.
00:24:18As I said, I don't know if I've ever seen anything like this.
00:24:21Double Samoan drop.
00:24:23The power and the strength exhibited by Umaga.
00:24:27And then this on Paul London.
00:24:29He was out after that.
00:24:35And, oh, and then that
00:24:38elevated spike
00:24:42and it is
00:24:44it is hard to predict
00:24:46the physicality that we're going to see
00:24:48at WrestleMania.
00:24:49And what a huge night we've got here tonight
00:24:51talking about WrestleMania.
00:24:59Triple H.
00:25:00Yes.
00:25:01Marvelous idea for the main event tonight, but
00:25:04you just missed it.
00:25:05Brian Kendrick just walked out on Paul London
00:25:08and I was thinking if I was John Cena or Randy Orton
00:25:10I'd be doing the exact same thing.
00:25:13Oh, but they can't.
00:25:15Why?
00:25:16Well, you see, Orton and Cena are teaming up tonight
00:25:18to face the entire Raw roster, but
00:25:20neither one can leave the other.
00:25:22Yeah, but there's no way that you could ensure that.
00:25:24Oh, sure there is. It's pretty simple, actually.
00:25:26You see, if
00:25:27if Cena leaves Orton
00:25:29then Cena's out of the match at WrestleMania.
00:25:31If Orton leaves Cena
00:25:33well then I strip Randy Orton of the WWE Championship
00:25:37and Cena and I fight over it at WrestleMania.
00:25:39It's pretty standard stuff, really.
00:25:42But you can't do that because I'm in charge.
00:25:45Quite the contrary.
00:25:47Triple threat takeover.
00:25:49Remember saying that?
00:25:50I'm in charge this week.
00:25:52If you've got a problem with that
00:25:54it's too bad, you made the rules.
00:25:55I'm just following them.
00:25:57Well, if you're going to do that
00:25:59why don't you just strip Randy Orton of the title
00:26:01and take it for yourself tonight?
00:26:03There's a couple reasons for that.
00:26:05One is
00:26:06doing this is actually a lot more fun.
00:26:09The other reason
00:26:11I've had titles
00:26:13awarded to me in the past.
00:26:15There's no satisfaction in it.
00:26:18But don't worry.
00:26:19I'll begin the WWE Championship soon enough.
00:26:22But it won't be handed to me.
00:26:24I'll be taking it
00:26:26on the grandest stage of them all
00:26:28at WrestleMania.
00:26:31Well, ladies and gentlemen
00:26:33in addition to that
00:26:34here's your main event tonight.
00:26:36Oh, what about this?
00:26:37The Big Show said that Jericho's
00:26:39WWE's version of Floyd Mayweather.
00:26:41Well, the Big Show is going to be
00:26:43taking on Jericho
00:26:45for the Intercontinental Championship
00:26:47tonight.
00:26:48And that's not all, ladies and gentlemen.
00:26:50Well, this will be the last night
00:26:52that we see the incomparable
00:26:53Nature Boy Ric Flair in the ring.
00:26:55One, two, three.
00:26:57The incomparable
00:26:58Nature Boy Ric Flair in the ring.
00:27:00What has the chairman of the WWE
00:27:02planned for Ric Flair?
00:27:04A career-threatening street fight.
00:27:06Live tonight.
00:27:10We are at the sold-out Cajun Dome.
00:27:12Glad you're with us tonight.
00:27:14Just over two weeks away from WrestleMania.
00:27:17And there's no doubt, ladies and gentlemen
00:27:19Triple H is hell-bent
00:27:22on taking the WWE title
00:27:24on the grandest stage of them all
00:27:26WrestleMania 24.
00:27:30Triple H, Double H Spinebuster.
00:27:32Oh, wait a minute.
00:27:35Last year, I watched WrestleMania
00:27:38pass me by with an injury.
00:27:43I had to sit back
00:27:45and watch the game from the sidelines.
00:27:53I can tell you this.
00:27:55After the Elimination Chamber
00:27:57after beating five other guys
00:28:00Look at this!
00:28:01The Game has done it!
00:28:03The Game is back!
00:28:07At WrestleMania, I get the opportunity
00:28:09to take back what is mine.
00:28:12I will fight for the WWE Championship
00:28:15like my life depends on it.
00:28:21Because as far as I'm concerned
00:28:24it does.
00:28:26Cena
00:28:27Orton
00:28:30McMahon.
00:28:36Well, with the King of Kings
00:28:38re-great gain his throne
00:28:40at WrestleMania 24.
00:28:42Well, that's still yet to be seen.
00:28:44Now, truly Triple H, the King of Kings
00:28:46but no doubt this past Friday
00:28:48who the King of Hollywood was
00:28:50our old Mr. McMahon.
00:28:52That's right.
00:28:53Mr. McMahon this past Friday
00:28:54received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
00:28:57Elaborate ceremony.
00:28:58Hey, that's quite an accomplishment
00:28:59don't you think?
00:29:00Let's take a look.
00:29:08What are you doing here?
00:29:09You don't have a match tonight.
00:29:10What are you doing in the building?
00:29:12I know what you're doing.
00:29:13Let me just qualify something.
00:29:15There is no shame
00:29:17in me losing you at WrestleMania
00:29:19but it's not going to happen.
00:29:20Okay?
00:29:21It's not going to happen.
00:29:22You may be Mr. WrestleMania.
00:29:24You may be the showstopper
00:29:26but you're not going to stop my show
00:29:28at WrestleMania.
00:29:29And I know why you're here tonight.
00:29:31You don't have a match
00:29:32nothing to do on a show.
00:29:33You're here to make sure
00:29:35that nothing happens to me
00:29:36because I'm wrestling Vince McMahon.
00:29:38And McMahon is going to stop at nothing
00:29:40to end my career tonight.
00:29:41Right?
00:29:42That's why you're here.
00:29:43And I've told you about sympathy.
00:29:45I've told you about pity.
00:29:46I've told you about running out and saving me.
00:29:48I'm my own man.
00:29:49I'm the Nature Boy.
00:29:51Okay?
00:29:52And I don't want you to get involved
00:29:54in anything I'm doing
00:29:56until I see you at WrestleMania.
00:29:58I don't want to see you
00:30:00until WrestleMania.
00:30:01I'm getting myself ready.
00:30:03I'm getting myself ready to go
00:30:05against the showstopper.
00:30:06So tonight
00:30:07in the immortal words
00:30:08of Vince McMahon
00:30:09he has no chance in hell
00:30:11I'm beating Ric Flair.
00:30:20It's on tonight
00:30:24So hold on
00:30:27We're about to light it up
00:30:30It's on tonight
00:30:33So hold on
00:30:35We're about to light it up
00:30:39Hold on
00:30:42We're about to light it up
00:30:49We're about to light it up
00:30:59We are back here live on Monday Night Raw
00:31:03That long white limousine
00:31:06can mean the arrival of only one man.
00:31:20The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:31:24Introducing first
00:31:25from New York City
00:31:27John Bradshaw
00:31:29Lightfield
00:31:30Well we know that JBL will take on Finlay
00:31:33in a Belfast brawl at WrestleMania.
00:31:36On Friday night we heard some comments
00:31:38from the emotional
00:31:39distraught father of Hornswoggle
00:31:41Finlay himself.
00:31:43Listen closely folks
00:31:44to these remarks.
00:31:47There's no way to explain
00:31:49what it's like to watch your son
00:31:51lying in a hospital bed
00:31:54for something he didn't do.
00:31:59Hornswoggle's getting better
00:32:05but he'll never be the same
00:32:07and that's something I've got to live with
00:32:09for the rest of my life.
00:32:12But so will JBL
00:32:14because a beating I'm going to give him
00:32:16at WrestleMania
00:32:18that's something
00:32:20you can't put into words.
00:32:42I was so looking forward
00:32:44to coming down here tonight
00:32:46and confronting Finlay
00:32:49but unfortunately
00:32:51Hornswoggle
00:32:53is having a few complications
00:32:56and his daddy
00:32:58Finlay
00:32:59has got to take care of
00:33:01his little freak son.
00:33:12But since it's St. Paddy's Day
00:33:15I got to do something for the Irish
00:33:18who have made people like me rich.
00:33:21So today I have scoured the WWE
00:33:25and I have come up
00:33:26with the second toughest Irishman
00:33:30in the company.
00:33:32That's right
00:33:33the guy who's lighting ECW on fire
00:33:37Colin Delaney.
00:33:42Come on out here Colin.
00:33:45Don't let that lack of ring music
00:33:47in Pyro fool you.
00:33:49That square jaw young man right there
00:33:52is like Sean Thornton from Innisfree.
00:33:55That man right there
00:33:57is the pride of Ireland.
00:34:01That man
00:34:03has an opportunity tonight
00:34:06to make Irish eyes smile.
00:34:09To make Irish eyes smile.
00:34:25Well the young man from ECW
00:34:28Colin Delaney
00:34:29has certainly proved he has a lot of guts
00:34:31and a lot of desire.
00:34:32He watched Tuesday nights on SyFy
00:34:35but Irish eyes
00:34:38may not be smiling.
00:34:39There may be some Irish stew made here
00:34:41out of this young man.
00:34:49Delaney's not going to back away
00:34:51that may be to his downfall here
00:34:53but you know that the message in this match
00:35:00is sent directly to Finland.
00:35:04This is all about the Belfast Brawl.
00:35:06This is all about WrestleMania.
00:35:09JBL knew Finland was...
00:35:10Oh gosh!
00:35:12Wasn't going to be here tonight
00:35:13because of Hornswoggle.
00:35:17This young man's
00:35:18best attribute may be the
00:35:20fact that he can take a heck of a beating.
00:35:22I've seen him take someone
00:35:24on ECW.
00:35:26Delaney's being beat like an Irish mule.
00:35:31Well
00:35:32I don't know.
00:35:33You know JBL
00:35:36He's the guy...
00:35:37Oh my gosh!
00:35:38He's got bookends for his bank books
00:35:40but he may need all that money.
00:35:42Clothesline from hell.
00:35:46Oh.
00:35:48He may have to
00:35:49pay some medical expenses for himself.
00:35:56After Finlay gets through with him at WrestleMania.
00:36:00Fresh face Colin Delaney
00:36:01the young Irishman
00:36:03just got annihilated by JBL.
00:36:05But I guarantee you
00:36:07if you're looking for a fight
00:36:09at WrestleMania
00:36:10you're going to see a hell of a fight.
00:36:12You have any hope at WrestleMania
00:36:14beating me Finlay
00:36:16I want you to look at this
00:36:18and I want you to realize
00:36:20what my ancestors told you.
00:36:23Your ancestors when you came to us
00:36:25looking for a job
00:36:27and a handout.
00:36:29Finlay
00:36:31Irish
00:36:33need not
00:36:35apply.
00:36:49JBL completely devastating
00:36:51young Colin Delaney.
00:36:54Well
00:36:57Colin took the first shot
00:36:59but then he
00:37:01he received the first big shot
00:37:03JBL and then
00:37:04oh these
00:37:08and another clothesline
00:37:09to the old clothesline
00:37:10boom!
00:37:14That's a sick
00:37:16absolutely sick.
00:37:18This young man is going to need some help.
00:37:26There's no clue where he is.
00:37:27Well ladies and gentlemen
00:37:28will Mr. McMahon end Ric Flair's career tonight
00:37:31or will Ric Flair take a piece
00:37:34of Mr. McMahon home with him tonight?
00:37:36We're going to find out next!
00:37:40Well ladies and gentlemen
00:37:41it was about four months ago
00:37:42when we thought
00:37:43as Ric Flair sits in a ring
00:37:45that the Nature Boy was going to retire.
00:37:48We got our answer about Flair's retirement plans
00:37:51and then we heard the edict
00:37:53from the chairman of the WWE.
00:37:56I have denounced to you
00:38:02that I will never retire!
00:38:08As long
00:38:09as long as you keep on winning
00:38:11the next time
00:38:12you lose a match
00:38:14your career
00:38:16is over.
00:38:26Woo!
00:38:47The following is a career-threatening street fight
00:38:50scheduled for one fall.
00:38:52Introducing first
00:38:54from Charlotte, North Carolina
00:38:56the Nature Boy
00:38:58Ric Flair!
00:39:04You just kind of want to sit back
00:39:05and enjoy the entrance
00:39:06because you never know
00:39:08if this is the last we're going to see
00:39:10and fans around the world
00:39:11including our great fans in the UK
00:39:13watching us tonight
00:39:15in high definition
00:39:16on Sky Sports 3.
00:39:18Live!
00:39:20Oh man!
00:39:22Flair seems motivated
00:39:24he seems fired up
00:39:26he seemed unhappy that Shawn Michaels
00:39:28was even here tonight
00:39:30so does that mean that Mr. McMahon
00:39:32is going to pay a price
00:39:34as you suggested earlier?
00:39:36Oh, that's what I'm thinking.
00:39:39Can you imagine the pressure
00:39:40that Mr. McMahon has put Ric Flair under
00:39:42for the past four months?
00:39:48And making his way to the ring
00:39:51the Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment
00:39:55Mr. McMahon!
00:39:57Thanks to Mr. McMahon
00:39:59every time Ric Flair has stepped into a ring
00:40:02for the past four months
00:40:03his career was on the line.
00:40:05Ric Flair had to win
00:40:06or he would lose his career.
00:40:08And now tonight
00:40:10Ric Flair has a chance to take out
00:40:12all those frustrations
00:40:13all that pressure
00:40:15that's been built up
00:40:17has a chance to take it out on Mr. McMahon.
00:40:20Flair's career wouldn't even be at stake
00:40:22if it wasn't for the Chairman of the WWE.
00:40:24Right!
00:40:26The man who claimed that he's the biggest star of all
00:40:29did our Chairman.
00:40:32Who spoke of a 700-pound squat
00:40:35in the weight room
00:40:36the fact that he's Irish
00:40:37and today is St. Patrick's Day.
00:40:40And the other fact that
00:40:42if Mr. McMahon beats Ric Flair tonight
00:40:44where does that leave Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania?
00:40:48It destroys Shawn Michaels' plans
00:40:51for WrestleMania
00:40:52just to be a part of the event.
00:40:58This is a street fight
00:40:59meaning anything goes.
00:41:08Flair taking it to Mr. McMahon early on here.
00:41:11I don't think you're going to see a lot of classic wrestling
00:41:14in this situation whatsoever.
00:41:16It's a street fight.
00:41:17Why would we?
00:41:20McMahon ain't no street fighter.
00:41:23Flair says he's the dirtiest player in the game
00:41:26with a chance to prove it here.
00:41:28Look out!
00:41:31The Chairman on a table.
00:41:32Wait a minute!
00:41:34Wait a minute!
00:41:35Mid-right hands
00:41:36from Flair on Mr. McMahon
00:41:39and a shock
00:41:40right around the beltline.
00:41:42Get over here!
00:41:44There's nothing the referee can do about it.
00:41:47It's a street fight.
00:41:48What a shot that was.
00:41:50McMahon taken to the knee.
00:41:52All the aggression that Flair has had.
00:41:56I told you this was going to happen.
00:42:01These men cannot be counted out.
00:42:03Here's Mr. McMahon.
00:42:04Well, it is a street fight.
00:42:05I think Mr. McMahon headed to the streets.
00:42:08Mr. McMahon looking to leave the boardroom
00:42:11and Flair with another right hand.
00:42:14I don't think Mr. McMahon knows where he is.
00:42:16This is not the vision
00:42:19that the legendary Chairman of the WWE
00:42:22had to have over this match-up.
00:42:28Flair again.
00:42:30Well, JR, here's your chance for some points.
00:42:32You going to go in and help Mr. McMahon?
00:42:34I'm not getting involved in this fight.
00:42:36This is personal.
00:42:40Flair's head just snapped off the ring post.
00:42:44Mr. McMahon put on the brakes
00:42:46and Flair's head crashing into the steel.
00:42:52Flair is in big time trouble now.
00:42:57This could be Ric Flair's very last match
00:43:01as Flair's head bounced off the steel ring post.
00:43:04Uh-oh.
00:43:05Wait a minute.
00:43:08What's he doing here?
00:43:11What is Mr. McMahon doing?
00:43:12Grab that monitor! Look out!
00:43:14Oh, God!
00:43:17Flair just got hit right in the face
00:43:19with his monitor.
00:43:22Watch it.
00:43:25Flair busted in the face with a monitor.
00:43:29He's opened up.
00:43:31Flair's bleeding.
00:43:33Flair is hurt and hurt bad here.
00:43:37Mr. McMahon with a golden opportunity
00:43:39to be in Ric Flair's career.
00:43:45To start the legendary career of Ric Flair.
00:43:47Back in the ring!
00:43:49And look at those defenseless.
00:43:51Flair's defenseless and he's thrown back in the ring.
00:43:54Oh, my gosh. This may be it.
00:43:57Flair is battered and bloody.
00:44:00The cover! Is this going to be it?
00:44:05Is this how it's going to end for Ric Flair?
00:44:09The most powerful man in the history of sports entertainment.
00:44:13Is it going to be this man to end Ric Flair's career once and for all?
00:44:21Flair's head has popped off the ring post.
00:44:24He's been hit in the head with a television monitor.
00:44:28What could be next for the Nature Boy?
00:44:30What is Mr. McMahon doing now?
00:44:37Remember, it is a street fight.
00:44:42And remember, nothing would please Mr. McMahon more
00:44:45than to be the one who ends the illustrious career of Ric Flair.
00:44:49Look out!
00:44:51Trash can smashed at the head of Flair.
00:44:55Oh, my Lord! How close was that?
00:45:01Flair's face busted in that trash can.
00:45:06And Flair's face a crimson mask.
00:45:15Flair may be just moments away.
00:45:18Well, that TV monitor opened Ric Flair up.
00:45:20And now he's been hit with a trash can.
00:45:23And Mr. McMahon's looking for something else to use on Flair.
00:45:26And whatever's on the ring is legal in this street fight.
00:45:36Mr. McMahon's got that kendo stick.
00:45:40And Flair's a sitting duck.
00:45:47Flair can barely stand.
00:45:51A vicious shot!
00:45:53Too long into the head!
00:45:55This could be it! This could be it!
00:45:57But their leg is pulled!
00:46:01Somehow, someway, to the dismay of Mr. McMahon,
00:46:06Ric Flair was able to kick out of the can.
00:46:09Did you hear that?
00:46:11That shot to the skull!
00:46:20This is bad.
00:46:25I cannot believe that we're seeing
00:46:28what could be the last match,
00:46:30the last moments of Ric Flair's career here.
00:46:34That man just keeps dragging weapons out.
00:46:36After over 30 years, could we just be
00:46:39seconds away from it all ending?
00:46:44There's just nothing more that a man can take!
00:46:47Three posts, it tears!
00:46:49And now the hook of the leg!
00:46:51The cover!
00:46:53Shawn Michaels just pulled the ring for ya!
00:46:57I'm not so sure that Flair was going to be damned for the free kick!
00:47:05Remember, no disqualifications in a street fight.
00:47:10And as far as Mr. McMahon is concerned,
00:47:13Shawn Michaels be damned,
00:47:15McMahon is going to do whatever it takes
00:47:17to end Ric Flair's career
00:47:20and do it here tonight.
00:47:22What else could be under this ring?
00:47:29What?
00:47:31Oh, good lord.
00:47:36A table now, Dave.
00:47:37What is he thinking now?
00:47:38Who knows what the chairman is thinking?
00:47:41How could you know?
00:47:43How could anyone know?
00:47:48And now Ric Flair, with no Shawn Michaels in sight,
00:47:52a battered and injured Ric Flair is all on his own.
00:47:59And Mr. McMahon continues to build the momentum
00:48:02as the seconds on Ric Flair's career continue to tick away.
00:48:14Flair very confident earlier tonight
00:48:17that he could beat that man in a street fight.
00:48:21There's no doubt that Flair cannot be confident right now.
00:48:24And the fizzle can do it!
00:48:28The dirtiest player in the game!
00:48:30He's struck again!
00:48:31Just went downstairs!
00:48:33That's twice!
00:48:35Two low blows!
00:48:38And now Flair retaliates!
00:48:40Flair has fought his way back in this match!
00:48:44I can't believe this!
00:48:45Flair now pounding the head of Mr. McMahon.
00:48:48Where's he going?
00:48:50What?
00:48:51What's Flair going to do here?
00:48:54He's going to go for the head!
00:48:55He's going to go for the head!
00:48:56He's going to go for the head!
00:48:57He's going to go for the head!
00:48:58He's going to go for the head!
00:48:59He's going to go for the head!
00:49:00What's Flair going to do here?
00:49:03Flair on top!
00:49:05He's going to get it in!
00:49:08Oh, God!
00:49:10Oh, my gosh!
00:49:14A cheer for the WWE!
00:49:16Driven through the table
00:49:18as Flair comes off the top rope!
00:49:20Can this do it?
00:49:21Will it do it?
00:49:22Yes, it is!
00:49:23And Ric Flair will fight at WrestleMania!
00:49:31Here is your winner,
00:49:33the Big Joy,
00:49:35Ric Flair!
00:49:39Somehow, someway,
00:49:42Ric Flair has fought through every adversity
00:49:46thrown literally at his face here tonight
00:49:50to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds
00:49:54in this street fight.
00:50:01And the carnage,
00:50:04the physicality
00:50:06that both of these men have utilized on the other
00:50:11is absolutely overwhelming!
00:50:14The stakes were so high!
00:50:16Mr. McMahon had the table set!
00:50:21But Flair refusing to lose!
00:50:25Boy, this match was pretty much all Mr. McMahon!
00:50:28The kendo stick to the head after Flair had been opened up!
00:50:31Then the, oh, that sickening chair shot!
00:50:34And I thought that was going to be the end!
00:50:37This is when Shawn Michaels
00:50:40the referee counting to three!
00:50:43Again, no disqualification in a street fight!
00:50:46The match continued until, boom!
00:50:49All at once!
00:50:51But how about one more time downstairs
00:50:56and then, oh, the table was set!
00:50:59And guess who's coming to dinner?
00:51:01Ric Flair! Look out!
00:51:08What a match!
00:51:10What a match, what a street fight indeed!
00:51:14And what a special night it will be at WrestleMania
00:51:17for Nature Boy Ric Flair!
00:51:19But equally as special
00:51:21for the man that wants to become WWE Champion!
00:51:24John Cena!
00:51:29And John Cena's time still to come tonight
00:51:32because Triple H is in charge of Cena and Orton!
00:51:35Cena and Orton must be partners tonight!
00:51:38Their opponents, the entire Monday Night Raw roster!
00:51:54Who likes to go on and on for days?
00:52:00Got all my days, I need the remedy
00:52:03Just so there would be a chance for me
00:52:06I can't keep going on this way!
00:52:14The following Tag Team Divas contest is scheduled for one fall!
00:52:18Introducing first, the team of
00:52:21Maria and Candice Michelle!
00:52:24Well, we all know that Maria is a Playboy
00:52:26is on newsstands everywhere!
00:52:30So wonderfully done!
00:52:32And we also know that
00:52:35Candice Michelle and Maria
00:52:37of course, Candice and other former Playboy cover girl
00:52:40will be involved
00:52:42at Bunny Mania at WrestleMania!
00:52:45Bunny Mania!
00:52:47And the master of ceremonies, luckiest man in America
00:52:50Snoop Dogg!
00:52:51Gotta love Snoop!
00:52:52I gotta love this Subway sandwich they are!
00:52:54Hey, you need to go on the Subway diet yourself!
00:52:58Thank you!
00:52:59And making their way to the ring
00:53:01the team of Jillian Hall and Victoria!
00:53:06Every day I wanna run away
00:53:11From the boys, they only wanna play
00:53:14Well, Jillian, I hope she's not gonna sing for us here tonight, is she?
00:53:17I have no idea, I know that's Victoria
00:53:20of course, a former WWE Women's Champion
00:53:25Jillian, the blonde
00:53:28Blonde
00:53:32Well, obviously Santino Marella needs no introduction
00:53:36so therefore he will get in the buzz killer
00:53:41Why is he even out here?
00:53:43The audacity of Santino trying to produce Snoop Dogg
00:53:50Santino still not pleased that Maria's
00:53:53Playboy cover is doing amazingly well
00:53:57The fact that she's even in there
00:53:58Now, wait a minute, what is...
00:54:02It looks like Santino wants to try to help us do commentary here
00:54:06First of all, Jerry, move over a little bit
00:54:08I don't trust you for one second, ok?
00:54:12If you wanna do commentary, you just sit down and
00:54:14I'm trying to enjoy this match
00:54:16and I'm gonna enjoy my Subway sandwich while I'm watching
00:54:18You need a Subway sandwich, Jerry!
00:54:20You look a little bit chunky today
00:54:22Maria just got a cheap shot from Victoria on the outside
00:54:25Now, let's see if Jillian Hall can capitalize
00:54:29Did you know Jillian Hall has no formal training in singing?
00:54:31It's all natural ability
00:54:33Really?
00:54:34Yeah
00:54:35That's pretty impressive
00:54:37She's a talent
00:54:39That's one way of putting it
00:54:40Nice handspring elbow by Jillian Hall
00:54:45As the Bunny Mania Lumberjack match
00:54:49We can start to count down the days
00:54:51Only 13 days away
00:54:52Playboy!
00:54:55You know, this Bunny Mania is making me sick to my stomach, ok?
00:54:58Why is that?
00:54:59Look at these girls, they become a target
00:55:01when they associate themselves with the Playboy
00:55:02Look at...
00:55:03Helicopter!
00:55:04That was one hell of a copter, if you ask me
00:55:07Well, nobody asked you, but
00:55:09doesn't it bother you to see your...
00:55:12maybe former girlfriend...
00:55:13Oh, she's my girlfriend, don't you worry
00:55:15We're going to a rough time
00:55:17Playboy has come between us a little bit
00:55:19We're gonna work it out
00:55:21Come on
00:55:22Nice move by Maria to counter that moonsault
00:55:25Standing moonsault as Maria tries to tag in Candice Michelle
00:55:29Oh, nice move!
00:55:30Where did Maria learn that?
00:55:31I didn't teach her that
00:55:35Oh my God, this girl is fast
00:55:37Candice Michelle is...
00:55:39She's sudden, she's so fast
00:55:41Nice clothesline
00:55:42Oh, cheap shot
00:55:44Cheap shot
00:55:46Candice Michelle in there
00:55:48A former WWE Women's Champion
00:55:50Man, how impressive is Candice?
00:55:54Candice showing great athleticism here tonight
00:55:57Could be over
00:55:58and Jillian Hall makes sure it isn't
00:56:02And Maria showed more than great athleticism in Playboy
00:56:05Did you get a chance to look at Playboy, Santino?
00:56:07Very funny, Mr. Jetty, stupid Lola
00:56:10Mind your own business with that
00:56:12How would you like that if that happened to you?
00:56:14What you got, Candice?
00:56:15And there's a cover, look out
00:56:16The backbreaker by Victoria
00:56:19These girls are such great athletes
00:56:21It's very impressive to watch, I tell you
00:56:24I was very impressed with Maria's Playboy
00:56:26Again with the Playboy
00:56:28Jerry, you're pushing my patience to so much levels
00:56:31And look out for that
00:56:33And Jillian Hall trying the ultra high wrist
00:56:36that did not pay off
00:56:38Come on
00:56:39Luckily for Candice, she got out of the way
00:56:41See these cheap shots all the time
00:56:44Candice and Maria looking...
00:56:47Beautiful
00:56:48And athletically effective
00:56:51The cover
00:56:54Those girls win because they're cheap
00:56:56They win only because they're cheap
00:56:59You see cheap shots
00:57:01Playboy girls are cheap
00:57:03Winners and losers, they're cheap
00:57:05That's the only way they can win
00:57:07They associate themselves with the garbage people
00:57:09And they become garbage people themselves
00:57:11Why don't you just get out of here?
00:57:13Come on, Jerry, how about a tie?
00:57:17You lose
00:57:26I got your sandwich too, Jerry
00:57:29I got your delicious Subway sandwich, Jerry
00:57:33Over
00:57:37I don't believe this
00:57:38You lose this time, Jerry
00:57:43Come on
00:58:13Come on
00:58:20You may have won
00:58:21But in the game of life
00:58:29Ladies and gentlemen, there you see the biggest athlete in the world
00:58:33Can the Big Show defeat the WWE's equivalent of
00:58:36Gordon Mayweather for the Intercontinental title?
00:58:38Big Show Jericho live and next
00:58:44Big Show Jericho
00:58:52Here I got you
00:58:54Yeah
00:58:55One
00:58:56Break the wall
00:58:57Break down the wall
00:59:05The following contest is scheduled for one fall
00:59:08Introducing first, weighing in at 226 pounds
00:59:12He is the Intercontinental Champion, Y2J, Chris Jericho!
00:59:22And as we came on the air tonight,
00:59:25for Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel,
00:59:26his guest was a big show.
00:59:28To say it got rather contentious
00:59:30would be somewhat of an understatement.
00:59:34Well, I'm just still trying to get dried off
00:59:36from that idiot Santino.
00:59:38But I gotta tell you that tonight,
00:59:39Rod brought to you by Twix.
00:59:41When you need a moment, chew it over with Twix.
00:59:44And by Pumice, it's the new E-Mate.
00:59:48Dive into the log log at sendalog.com.
01:00:00No sandwich either.
01:00:01♪ Well, it's a big show
01:00:06♪ Oh, it's a big, bad show tonight
01:00:11And making his way to the ring, standing at seven feet tall,
01:00:15weighing in at 441 pounds,
01:00:18he is the largest athlete in the world,
01:00:21The Big Show!
01:00:24Well, the greatest fighter in the world,
01:00:26Floyd Mayweather, is not here tonight,
01:00:28but you can bet your bottom dollar
01:00:31that Floyd is watching.
01:00:33You can also bet, as well as we know, The Big Show,
01:00:36there will be a message sent
01:00:38to Floyd Mayweather tonight via Chris Jericho.
01:00:42♪ But I promise you now
01:00:45♪ It's a big show
01:00:49This Friday night,
01:00:52Thurman O'Brien better be on his best behavior.
01:00:54Yeah, with The Big Show as a guest.
01:00:56This is for the Intercontinental Championship.
01:00:58Chris Jericho became an eight-time champion.
01:01:01The Big Show has never been the Intercontinental Champion,
01:01:04but The Big Show did say that he looks at Jericho
01:01:07as the WWE's version of Floyd Mayweather.
01:01:11Says he's loud, he's arrogant,
01:01:13and most of all, disrespectful.
01:01:16And The Big Show just driving that size 18,
01:01:20six E boot.
01:01:22And you heard that right, folks.
01:01:24That's 18 with six Es.
01:01:27Six, five, six, five, six.
01:01:31Big Show weighed in at 441 in a quarter last week.
01:01:36Almost 300 pound weight difference.
01:01:40Against Floyd Mayweather.
01:01:41Yeah.
01:01:42Oh!
01:01:43Can you?
01:01:44And Floyd has never-
01:01:45Let me ask you this.
01:01:47What if that was Floyd Money Mayweather's chest
01:01:49right there, JR?
01:01:50Would that be the end of the fight right there?
01:01:55I guarantee it.
01:01:56I can promise that Floyd Mayweather,
01:01:59as great as he is,
01:02:00as many wonderful battles as he's been in,
01:02:02has never been hit with a ham like that.
01:02:06A sledgehammer shot to the chest
01:02:09as The Big Show just hit Jericho.
01:02:11And Jericho, as hard as he's tried,
01:02:14has been unable to navigate The Big Show
01:02:17off The Big Show's feet.
01:02:19Look at the power of The Big Show.
01:02:21Watch out, Eric.
01:02:24The Big Show's own momentum
01:02:26just took this world's largest athlete
01:02:29over the top rope.
01:02:32He got handed to Jericho,
01:02:33who's looking for a combination here.
01:02:36That was blocked.
01:02:38Jericho's chest is already blood red.
01:02:43Oh!
01:02:45Jericho slung it to the security wall.
01:02:48And you gotta believe when that man,
01:02:50The Big Show, looks at Jericho,
01:02:52that he sees Floyd Mayweather.
01:02:54Well, let me just say, oh my God.
01:02:56Can you imagine if that happened to Floyd Mayweather?
01:03:01If it's right here, he'd be broken in half.
01:03:05Now, Floyd, I know is at home watching.
01:03:06Let that be a lesson to you.
01:03:07Do not get out of the ring
01:03:09in the match with The Big Show.
01:03:10He'll throw you right into that retaining wall
01:03:12and it'll be history.
01:03:13Well, the issue here, quite simply,
01:03:15Floyd Mayweather is boxing.
01:03:17And Floyd Mayweather's career,
01:03:19meaning the business of boxing,
01:03:21Mayweather's career is on the line.
01:03:24Mayweather gets down on the canvas
01:03:26and you got a 441 pound man
01:03:28stepping on your lower abdomen.
01:03:31Oh, no.
01:03:32Oh, my God.
01:03:34The Big Show is blocking out the sun.
01:03:37Yeah!
01:03:39Jericho had the wherewithal of the ring sense
01:03:42to avoid the contact.
01:03:45I don't know that Mayweather would in that situation.
01:03:48And Jericho, with a lion's salt.
01:03:52Jericho, oh, good Lord.
01:03:56The power and strength, absolutely uncanny.
01:04:01What if Jericho wins this match?
01:04:04It's not gonna bode well
01:04:05for The Big Show going into WrestleMania.
01:04:07Hey, wait a minute.
01:04:08Look out!
01:04:09Jericho.
01:04:10Ding, ding, ding, ding.
01:04:11Using that championship belt,
01:04:14getting himself up, disqualified.
01:04:18Good Lord, what a right hand.
01:04:20My God, what a right.
01:04:22A thunderous right hand.
01:04:24One huge shot.
01:04:27Jericho has not been conscious.
01:04:30Man.
01:04:32The Big Show's fist measures.
01:04:35I think, wait, Mayweather,
01:04:37I believe that's your message right there.
01:04:40Big Show can deliver a pretty good right hand himself.
01:04:45One shot, Jericho down.
01:04:48One shot, the Intercontinental Champion
01:04:51taken completely out of this game.
01:04:52Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by disqualification,
01:04:54The Big Show.
01:04:56Yeah!
01:04:58The Big Show with an amazing 15-inch fist
01:05:03compared to Mayweather's nine-inch fist.
01:05:06300-pound weight differential,
01:05:09but it was one massive right hand.
01:05:15Well, here's a little clip of a punch
01:05:21that Floyd Mayweather better watch over and over.
01:05:24Oh!
01:05:26Floyd Money Mayweather says he's coming to WrestleMania
01:05:30to break The Big Show's jaw.
01:05:32He's said that on numerous occasions.
01:05:35Well, a big right hand like that from The Big Show
01:05:38and Floyd may have a broken jaw.
01:05:41Look at that.
01:05:42My Lord, bam!
01:05:44Huge right hand, and Chris Jericho,
01:05:47a much bigger man than Floyd Mayweather,
01:05:50knocked down and out.
01:05:54♪ It's The Big Show
01:06:01Moments ago, ladies and gentlemen,
01:06:02we may have witnessed the most thunderous right hand
01:06:05that we have ever seen.
01:06:06Take a look.
01:06:07Boom!
01:06:08Right there.
01:06:09Wow.
01:06:10And it tells me one thing,
01:06:12that the day after WrestleMania,
01:06:15the headlines, bam!
01:06:16The headlines are going to read,
01:06:18The Big Show Knocks Out Mayweather.
01:06:20The Big Show Knocks Out Mayweather.
01:06:23Oh, check out the damage done to the head
01:06:27of Chris Jericho by that thunderous right hand.
01:06:31Oh man, look at that.
01:06:33And more of Kim Kardashian.
01:06:35And speaking of WrestleMania,
01:06:36ladies and gentlemen, the main event for the WWE title.
01:06:38There's one title, the most coveted title
01:06:40in all the WWE, but there are three men that want it.
01:06:44And ladies and gentlemen,
01:06:45let's take an inside look at the brass,
01:06:48the talented WWE champion,
01:06:51the legend killer, Randy Orton.
01:06:59You want to know why I'm the perfect champion?
01:07:04You see, I've been issued all types of challenges.
01:07:08Triple H.
01:07:10History has been made.
01:07:11Shawn Michaels.
01:07:12Oh, Orton did this.
01:07:14Shawn Michaels.
01:07:15Chris Jericho.
01:07:16Orton is showing no mercy.
01:07:19Jeff Hardy.
01:07:21Oh my God.
01:07:21The custom right counter.
01:07:23My God, the RKO out of nowhere.
01:07:26The same thing has happened to every challenge.
01:07:30In the end,
01:07:32I have defeated it.
01:07:38You can take the strength, the desire,
01:07:41the determination of Cena,
01:07:43the intelligence, the athleticism,
01:07:46the ruthlessness of Triple H.
01:07:49If you combine these attributes,
01:07:51you get Randy Orton.
01:07:53So I have one thing that neither Cena nor Triple H has.
01:08:00The WWE Championship.
01:08:08Well, now that you're in the right frame of mind,
01:08:17there's nothing left to say.
01:08:20We go out there, we beat everybody
01:08:21until there's nobody left to beat on Raw.
01:08:25See you out there.
01:08:25John, listen.
01:08:28I think it's pretty obvious.
01:08:30Triple H is doing this to see us get hurt
01:08:35before WrestleMania.
01:08:36You're probably right.
01:08:37I know I'm right.
01:08:38So this is what I suggest.
01:08:39We turn the tables, take a dive, we lay down.
01:08:42And so what?
01:08:43We lose, big deal.
01:08:45None of us gets hurt before WrestleMania.
01:08:48What do you think?
01:08:50You always got a plan.
01:08:53I like it.
01:08:55You want to go out there and lose on purpose?
01:08:58Go ahead and lose.
01:08:59Look.
01:09:00John.
01:09:02I'm the WWE Champion.
01:09:04So, I figured if anyone's gonna lay down,
01:09:09it's gonna be you.
01:09:11Randy, I'm probably not as smart as you are.
01:09:15But I'm certainly not a frigging coward.
01:09:17I'm not going out and losing on purpose.
01:09:22Maybe you didn't hear me.
01:09:24I said I'm the WWE Champion.
01:09:27And I think that you should do what I say.
01:09:31No, I heard you.
01:09:33And the day that I listen to someone
01:09:35who's responsible for my torn peck,
01:09:37stealing my title and punk kicking my father in the face,
01:09:40is the day I lose my mind.
01:09:43You want to go out there and lose on purpose?
01:09:45Then go ahead.
01:09:46Want to go out there and turn your back on me?
01:09:48Go ahead.
01:09:49Triple H will not stop until both of us
01:09:52have been beaten with an inch of our lives.
01:09:55So, you want two things.
01:09:57You stay here and try to figure it out,
01:10:00or you go out there.
01:10:02You ante up and you fight like a man.
01:10:04Randy, that's the only chance you've got.
01:10:14Actually, you don't have any chance at all.
01:10:17See, because the rules of this match are very simple.
01:10:20It's you two against the entire roster
01:10:23and the match will continue until you have beaten
01:10:25every single one of your opponents.
01:10:29Or, until you can no longer physically continue.
01:10:35But between us, I just want you guys to know,
01:10:41I'm rooting for you.
01:10:42I'm rooting for you.
01:11:12The following is a 17-R-2 Handicap
01:11:15Elimination Tag Team match.
01:11:18Introducing first, from St. Louis, Missouri,
01:11:22weighing in at 245 pounds,
01:11:24he is the WWE Champion, Randy Orton!
01:11:32I think that Triple H is in charge of Orton
01:11:34and Cena tonight has thought of everything.
01:11:37If Randy Orton walks out on Cena tonight,
01:11:40Orton's gonna be stripped of the WWE title.
01:11:42Orton's out of WrestleMania.
01:11:44If Cena walks out on Orton,
01:11:46Cena's out of WrestleMania.
01:11:48But this match is gonna continue as I understand it
01:11:52until Orton and Cena cannot physically continue.
01:11:56Their opponents are the entire Raw roster.
01:12:00This is a history-making night on Raw.
01:12:02I've never heard of a match like this.
01:12:04Never heard of a match like this.
01:12:09♪♪
01:12:18Randy Orton!
01:12:20Randy Orton!
01:12:22Introducing his tag-team partner,
01:12:25from West Liberty, Massachusetts,
01:12:27weighing in at 240 pounds,
01:12:30John Cena!
01:12:34Well, JR, I gotta agree with Randy Orton.
01:12:37I think Triple H has devised a plan here
01:12:41to get one of these guys hurt before WrestleMania,
01:12:44or both of them hurt before WrestleMania.
01:12:46I don't know, King.
01:12:47I think the game is, what he does best,
01:12:50that's my mind game.
01:12:52That's certainly not to say that John Cena,
01:12:56oh, what an ovation, hear me?
01:12:57Sold out Pageant Dog, and Randy Orton,
01:13:00they'll both have bullseyes on their chest.
01:13:02♪♪
01:13:07-♪♪
01:13:15Well, here comes the opposition,
01:13:17the entire Raw roster.
01:13:18And making their way to the ring,
01:13:21the superstars of Monday Night Raw!
01:13:25-♪♪
01:13:30It's essentially as if the entire Raw roster
01:13:33is like one massive team.
01:13:36-♪♪
01:13:41What chance did Cena and Orton have in this match?
01:13:44-♪♪
01:13:46I would suggest not a great chance,
01:13:49which is, I think, exactly what...
01:13:51Have you ever seen anything like this?
01:13:52Never.
01:13:54Absolutely not.
01:13:56You know that Randy Orton and John Cena
01:13:59have a total disdain for each other.
01:14:02-♪♪
01:14:05And so it looks like Snitsky's gonna start
01:14:07for the Raw roster team.
01:14:10Now, if, supposedly,
01:14:13if either Cena, Orton, or Snitsky,
01:14:15it's still not over, right?
01:14:16No, it's not over.
01:14:19And Cena and Snitsky starting it out here.
01:14:23Wait a minute.
01:14:24Cena looking to put that quick work out on Snitsky,
01:14:26but that will not be on this occasion.
01:14:30Snitsky has many tag team partners,
01:14:33as you can see, standing on the apron of the ring.
01:14:36The Cerebral Assassin has come up
01:14:39with a magnificent game plan.
01:14:42That's why they call him The Game.
01:14:44-♪♪
01:14:47The greatest mind game of them all,
01:14:50and Snitsky at 6'6", over 300 pounds.
01:14:54Shouldn't be any problem to keep a freshman at all.
01:14:57There's a tag.
01:14:58Santino Marella making...
01:15:00Idiot, Marella.
01:15:02Ah, there you go, good.
01:15:04Tagging himself in.
01:15:06Get it, get it, get it, get it, yes!
01:15:09So, Santino Marella eliminated,
01:15:11but the match continues.
01:15:16And that doesn't really do much to the odds,
01:15:20Murdoch got the cover, Murdoch's got the cover.
01:15:24Still 16-on-2, I believe.
01:15:28The entire Raw roster,
01:15:31comprising one team,
01:15:32right hands by Murdoch,
01:15:34and maybe the smartest guy thus far is Randy Orton,
01:15:37who's yet to get in the match.
01:15:39Oh, look at this.
01:15:40And Cena thinking it's TFU.
01:15:42-♪♪
01:15:45And...
01:15:45He's tapping, the tap.
01:15:48And Murdoch just tapped out.
01:15:51Randy Orton didn't get involved.
01:15:52Orton would like to end this thing as quickly as he could.
01:15:55The RKO.
01:15:57And there's the cover.
01:15:59Look at...
01:16:01It's amazing, look at how well Orton's still on the floor.
01:16:04All the damage done
01:16:07from Orlando.
01:16:09Can Cena and Orton recover?
01:16:11We'll find out as this match continues.
01:16:14Randy Orton and Deep Turtle here.
01:16:15We're back live on Monday Night Raw.
01:16:17It's John Cena and Randy Orton
01:16:19being forced to be partners by Triple H
01:16:22against the entire Raw roster.
01:16:24You see JBL in there against Orton.
01:16:26There's a cover.
01:16:26This could end it all, but it's not.
01:16:28Come on.
01:16:29Come on.
01:16:31Well, during the break,
01:16:32there was actually an RKO on Super Crazy
01:16:35and an elimination here.
01:16:36We'll watch JBL come in from behind.
01:16:39He's got the cover.
01:16:41We'll watch JBL come in from behind.
01:16:44Oh, man.
01:16:46Remember, ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:48this match is gonna continue the entire Raw roster.
01:16:51The brainchild of Triple H is one massive team.
01:16:55This is an Elimination Rules tag team match.
01:16:58It's gonna continue until either the whole roster's
01:17:01been beaten or Orton and Cena
01:17:04are physically unable to continue.
01:17:08Backs off Jim Duggan, got the tag.
01:17:10This is the damnedest main event I think we've ever seen
01:17:13here on Monday Night Raw.
01:17:15Are you surprised?
01:17:16Are you shocked at how well, though,
01:17:18Cena and Orton are cohabitating here, working together.
01:17:21And I think Cena and Orton are cohabitating
01:17:24out of self-preservation.
01:17:27Cody Rhodes got the tag down while virtual.
01:17:31You're confused, ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:33Triple H in charge of Orton and Cena tonight
01:17:35in the Triple Threat Takeover final installment,
01:17:39forcing Orton and Cena to be tag partners
01:17:42against the entire Raw roster.
01:17:44Val Venis got a tag, now he's in.
01:17:50And if you're wondering why Randy Orton
01:17:52just doesn't walk out, if he does,
01:17:54Orton's gonna be stripped of the title tonight
01:17:56if Cena walks out.
01:17:57What Cena wouldn't do,
01:17:59Cena's out at WrestleMania.
01:18:01Boy, and it's just a numbers game.
01:18:03I mean, and look, you still have Umaga
01:18:05just standing over there waiting to get another opportunity
01:18:09to beat down Orton or Cena.
01:18:10And one half of the World Tag Champions.
01:18:14Hardcore Bob Holly right in the face of Orton.
01:18:16There's a cover, and a lateral press, a near fall.
01:18:20John Cena looking on.
01:18:22Cena, Orton, and Triple H
01:18:25certainly meeting in a main event at WrestleMania.
01:18:28If there's gonna be much left of Cena and Orton,
01:18:31that's the big question right now.
01:18:33Oh, inverted vibe breaker on Robbie of the Highlanders.
01:18:37Robbie McAuliffe's tag.
01:18:41Cena taking a chance.
01:18:43Whoa, man!
01:18:45Cena hits a high risk.
01:18:50Robbie eliminated, who's next?
01:18:53D.A. Smith, the rookie.
01:18:59Uh-oh.
01:19:01You can't see me.
01:19:03Five knuckle shuffle action coming from Cena.
01:19:08Cena drilling the rookie from Calgary.
01:19:14The FU!
01:19:16The FU, the cover, and Cena's rolling.
01:19:20And makes the tag to Orton.
01:19:22Good Lord.
01:19:23Oh, gosh!
01:19:25A massive RKO, suddenly.
01:19:30Virtual eliminated.
01:19:31From Las Vegas, thanks for coming.
01:19:34What an RKO.
01:19:37I can't believe what I'm seeing here.
01:19:41Cody Rhodes back in.
01:19:45And the rookie.
01:19:47Oh, the teamwork.
01:19:50Unbelievable.
01:19:51The teamwork, good Lord.
01:19:54Self-preservation for Orton and for Cena.
01:19:57Wait a minute.
01:19:58And now Hell is breaking loose.
01:20:00Well, I think a raw roster saw themselves being decimated.
01:20:05What's happened here?
01:20:06Referee called for the bell.
01:20:09A referee's called for the bell.
01:20:11This is nothing but chaos
01:20:13as Cena and Orton being beat down
01:20:17by several members of the raw roster.
01:20:20And the match is gonna continue
01:20:23until Cena and Orton can't physically compete.
01:20:28And Cena's got a steel chair.
01:20:30Oh!
01:20:33Good grief!
01:20:36Cena barred downtown with a steel chair by Orton.
01:20:40Oh, wow!
01:20:43Right to the throat of John Cena.
01:20:47And now you've got Emonga and JBL with a weapon.
01:20:52Oh, this is bad.
01:20:53But this is exactly what the Blades was hoping for,
01:20:56in my opinion.
01:20:59Oh!
01:21:02Oh, my God!
01:21:04JBL misfired.
01:21:07And the Simone Sandwich.
01:21:11With a spike right in the-
01:21:12Wait a minute!
01:21:13In front of the champion.
01:21:14Emonga's after JBL!
01:21:16JBL running from Emonga.
01:21:20But Emonga delivered the spike to Randy Orton.
01:21:24Oh!
01:21:26There's no one left on the raw.
01:21:33Well, ladies and gentlemen, I stand corrected.
01:21:40There is someone left on the raw roster.
01:21:50♪ It's all about the game
01:21:51♪ And how you play it
01:21:53♪ It's all about your drive

01:22:11A main event that will continue to hold.
01:22:14John Cena and the WWE Champion
01:22:17could neither physically continue.
01:22:21♪ Now you can't die like a fool
01:22:23♪ Try to figure out what's up

01:22:57And now Pedigree gets his pedigree checked.
01:23:02The third generation pedigree just got checked.
01:23:07And John Cena is next on the list.
01:23:12The Game loading up Cena.
01:23:16And drilling Cena face first.
