00:01:55And now...
00:01:57Raw. SmackDown.
00:01:59Presents the 19th Annual WWE Survivor Series.
00:02:24Hello, everyone, and welcome to the WWE Survivor Series!
00:02:29We're at the Jampact Joe Lewis Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
00:02:35Fans coming here from the United States and Canada.
00:02:39We are right by the border.
00:02:41We are your Raw announce team.
00:02:43I'm Joey Styles, along with Jerry, the King Rawler, and the coach.
00:02:47I want to tell you, it's time to go.
00:02:50Raw rolling over SmackDown.
00:02:52You got that right, baby.
00:03:19Thanks a lot, guys. Tonight is about three themes.
00:03:22Championships, survival, and bragging rights.
00:03:25Talking about bragging rights, I don't know what Lawler's talking about.
00:03:28Raw rolling over SmackDown.
00:03:30Not gonna happen, my friend. Uh-uh. Not tonight.
00:03:32SmackDown. We'll win it.
00:03:34And we kick things off with the first in a best-of-seven series
00:03:38for the United States Championship.
00:03:40Here comes the former Miss Black America, Booker T's wife.
00:03:44Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm Motown welcome
00:03:49for my man and the soon-to-be undisputed United States Champion...
00:03:59Booker T!
00:04:01Can you dig it, sucker?
00:04:03Well, Booker T is no longer the United States Champion.
00:04:08Two nights ago on Friday night SmackDown,
00:04:10General Manager Theodore Long holding the title up
00:04:13and making this best-of-seven series
00:04:15after a controversial matchup with Booker T and Benoit.
00:04:19Yeah, well, Phil, I'm not too sure if...
00:04:22Oh! Oh! I don't know. I'm not too sure.
00:04:25I don't know. In my opinion,
00:04:27I think Booker was going wrong this past Friday night.
00:04:31Following contest is match number one,
00:04:35the best-of-seven series for the undisputed
00:04:39WWE United States Championship.
00:04:42Making his way to the ring from Houston, Texas,
00:04:45and being accompanied by Sharmell,
00:04:48weighing in at 257 pounds,
00:04:51Booker T!
00:04:54I still cannot get over the fact that that man, Booker T,
00:04:58involving his wife Sharmell,
00:05:00pulled the wool over everyone's eyes.
00:05:02Our eyes, the SmackDown fans' eyes,
00:05:04and the eyes of Chris Benoit,
00:05:06literally screwing over his friend
00:05:08to win the United States Championship
00:05:10back in October in Reno, Nevada.
00:05:12Well, starting tonight, Chris Benoit
00:05:14has a great opportunity at Retribution.
00:05:20Here we go!
00:05:24And from Atlanta, Georgia,
00:05:26weighing in at 234 pounds,
00:05:29the Rabid Wolverine,
00:05:31Chris Benoit!
00:05:34Well, we mentioned Chris Benoit
00:05:35screwed out of the United States Championship
00:05:37back in October.
00:05:38A return match two nights ago
00:05:40on Friday Night SmackDown,
00:05:42and a controversial finish.
00:05:43I've watched this over and over and over again,
00:05:46and I still believe, Taz,
00:05:48that Chris Benoit had the victory here.
00:05:50I disagree. I said it two nights ago
00:05:52on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:05:53I'll say it again.
00:05:54I think that Booker T
00:05:56got the pinfall victory over Benoit.
00:05:58Well, nonetheless, both referees
00:06:00had differing opinions on who won the matchup.
00:06:03General Manager Cedar Long came out,
00:06:05and he made a judgment call,
00:06:07and a good one, I believe.
00:06:08Let's hold the championship up.
00:06:10Let's have a best-of-seven series
00:06:12to determine the undisputed
00:06:14United States Championship.
00:06:16And you see Chris Benoit
00:06:17with a wary eye towards Sharmell.
00:06:19Well, you see that look that Benoit gave,
00:06:21not a wary eye.
00:06:22You see that look that he gave Sharmell?
00:06:23Because he knows that Sharmell will,
00:06:25because she's done it before,
00:06:26interject herself against Benoit in this match.
00:06:28And Booker T,
00:06:30and Chris Benoit tied up in the corner
00:06:32early going into this matchup.
00:06:33So the setting is this.
00:06:36Whoever wins four matchups first
00:06:38in this best-of-seven series
00:06:39will be the undisputed
00:06:41United States Champion.
00:06:42Cole, I'm telling you right now,
00:06:43this first match,
00:06:44the match we're witnessing right now
00:06:46is so important.
00:06:50With a Benoit pin,
00:06:51a chance here,
00:06:52and a positive crowd for Benoit
00:06:53in Detroit, Michigan,
00:06:55this first match is respect for Benoit.
00:06:57That's what it is, Cole.
00:06:58But this first match is so important,
00:07:00the first one,
00:07:01because right out of the box,
00:07:02you set the tone.
00:07:03And then, you know,
00:07:04the other guy's chasing you.
00:07:05Great point.
00:07:06Third time in Survivor Series history
00:07:08that the Joe Louis Arena
00:07:09has hosted this great event,
00:07:11now in its 19th year.
00:07:13Collar and elbow tie-up.
00:07:14Booker T went for the slam.
00:07:15Chris Benoit tried to block.
00:07:16Oh, he did.
00:07:17Oh, he did for a moment.
00:07:18And Booker T with a slam.
00:07:19Benoit trying, and he does,
00:07:21get quickly back to his feet.
00:07:22Booker T turned a full body slam
00:07:24into a short power slam.
00:07:25Benoit tried to stop it.
00:07:28Just the smile on Charmelle's face
00:07:30how gorgeous she is
00:07:31with that tiara on her head.
00:07:32I mean, actually, crown on her head.
00:07:33Beautiful.
00:07:34Well, the former Miss Black America,
00:07:36as Booker T or her husband
00:07:37backs Chris Benoit into the corner.
00:07:40As the Let's Go Benoit chance begins,
00:07:42we'd like to remind everybody, Taz,
00:07:44that match number two
00:07:46in this Best of Seven Series
00:07:48will take place Tuesday night
00:07:50in Cincinnati.
00:07:51The SmackDown special, 9, 8 Central,
00:07:54on UPN.
00:07:55Booker T, Chris Benoit, match number two.
00:07:57In addition to that on that show,
00:07:59Raymond Steele versus Big Show
00:08:01as Booker T is knocked out of the ring.
00:08:03Well, he bounced off the apron there.
00:08:05Benoit putting a bad mouth on Charmelle.
00:08:08Oh, he's got Benoit, like he said earlier,
00:08:10on the top of this match.
00:08:11He's got to keep two eyes behind his head
00:08:13on Charmelle and two on Booker.
00:08:15Booker T trying to regain his composure.
00:08:17Benoit, the former World Heavyweight Champion,
00:08:20Look at Benoit saying,
00:08:21Come on in, Book.
00:08:22I'll open a rose for you.
00:08:23That's a sign.
00:08:24You're showing, like, no respect for someone.
00:08:25You're saying, Come on.
00:08:26I want you to come in this ring.
00:08:28Come into my den and let's go.
00:08:30So Chris Benoit as Booker T gets back into the ring.
00:08:33Again, first in the Best of Seven Series
00:08:36to determine the undisputed
00:08:38United States Champion.
00:08:40Both men just,
00:08:41looking to go for a test of strength.
00:08:43Now, in fact, you know,
00:08:45WCW, both these men,
00:08:46they had a Best of Seven.
00:08:47Oh!
00:08:48Nice behind takedown.
00:08:49They had a Best of Seven Series.
00:08:50They had a classic matchup.
00:08:52I watched a few of them.
00:08:53Yeah, but Taz, this is much different
00:08:55because this is about a championship.
00:08:56This is about the United States Championship here.
00:08:59That's where Teddy Long got the idea, actually,
00:09:01from the WCW days.
00:09:02And now, Benoit's got that leg,
00:09:05one leg,
00:09:06and back nasty right there
00:09:07with his other leg intertwined with it.
00:09:09And Booker T makes it to the ropes,
00:09:10forcing Benoit to break his arm.
00:09:12Again, you talk about that
00:09:13Best of Seven Series in WCW, Taz.
00:09:15This is about so much more.
00:09:16This is about the United States Championship here.
00:09:18Well, since WCW,
00:09:20Benoit's become World Heavyweight Champion,
00:09:22and, well, you know, Booker T,
00:09:24well, he's kind of, you know,
00:09:26he's the book man.
00:09:27Well, he was the United States Champion.
00:09:29He was the United States Champion.
00:09:30Booker T, however,
00:09:31you can't ever question his credentials.
00:09:3429 different championship reigns in his career.
00:09:37He's got Shaw Mell on his side, too.
00:09:39His wife is blushing bright.
00:09:41He won't miss Black America.
00:09:42He's got everything.
00:09:43Booker T,
00:09:44a former five-time WCW Champion,
00:09:47one of the most accomplished superstars ever,
00:09:49as is that man, Chris Benoit,
00:09:51who won the World Heavyweight Championship
00:09:53at WrestleMania XX
00:09:55in that tremendous triple threat matchup
00:09:57in Madison Square Garden.
00:09:59Now, right now,
00:10:00left, right here,
00:10:01test of strength by Benoit and Booker T.
00:10:04Both men here trying to get leverage.
00:10:06Who's gonna get the better leverage?
00:10:08Oh, for a back sweep
00:10:10by Booker, but Benoit,
00:10:12looks like he's going for a,
00:10:14going for a bridge here
00:10:15with that great low back strength by Chris Benoit.
00:10:18Now, Benoit battling back,
00:10:19trying to turn the tables here on Booker T.
00:10:21How strong is Chris Benoit?
00:10:23Oh, there's a high kick to the jaw.
00:10:25Well, it doesn't matter how strong he is now.
00:10:27I mean, Booker T just leveled him
00:10:29with that back kick.
00:10:31Nice forearm shiver
00:10:33right across the side of the head by Booker.
00:10:35Chris Benoit whipped across the ring.
00:10:37Booker T quickly on top of Benoit with a high elbow.
00:10:40Look at that, Shaw Mell's happy.
00:10:42Of course he is.
00:10:43Man's in control of the matchup.
00:10:46Shaw Mell screwed Chris Benoit
00:10:48to the United States Championship
00:10:49last month anyway.
00:10:51Well, I corrected it.
00:10:53Let me correct it.
00:10:54It was Booker T who screwed Benoit over.
00:10:56I mean, Booker T was,
00:10:57well, you know, you get it.
00:10:58Well, tell the story.
00:10:59Booker T was, you know,
00:11:00he was behind all of this stuff,
00:11:01pulling the strings.
00:11:02He was wearing the pants of famine.
00:11:04We thought Shaw Mell was,
00:11:05but it was Booker.
00:11:07Booker T duped everyone.
00:11:08And what a collision, center of the ring.
00:11:10Benoit, cover here,
00:11:11and a kick out by Booker T.
00:11:13Again, first matchup in his best of seven series.
00:11:15And as you said, Taz,
00:11:16the victor here can really build momentum
00:11:18going into the SmackDown Special
00:11:20match number two on Tuesday night.
00:11:22That's what we can't wait for
00:11:23from Cincinnati, of course,
00:11:24but I'm telling you,
00:11:25this first match is so, so important.
00:11:28And look at this,
00:11:29the big knee to the midsection.
00:11:30Chris Benoit starting to wear Booker T down.
00:11:33Well, if you take the man's midsection out,
00:11:35it's going to be tough for him to breathe
00:11:37throughout this match.
00:11:38And Shaw Mell knows her man's in trouble now.
00:11:40Of course, Benoit, tough, aggressive,
00:11:42very competitive.
00:11:43He's not called the rabid Wolverine for nothing.
00:11:46Believe me, Benoit,
00:11:47take it from experience for me,
00:11:48I've been in the ring with Benoit.
00:11:49Benoit's machine-like.
00:11:51Just when you need to breathe it,
00:11:52he's all over you, man.
00:11:53Booker T whipped into the corner,
00:11:54high boot to the face,
00:11:55the jaw of Chris Benoit
00:11:57knocks the Wolverine to one knee.
00:11:59But can Booker capitalize?
00:12:00He had some nasty blows to the midsection
00:12:03by Benoit earlier.
00:12:07Again, the Benoit chance
00:12:08finds Capacity Pratt at the jaw.
00:12:10Picks up Benoit off the side slam
00:12:12and Benoit, one and a half,
00:12:13rolls the shoulder out.
00:12:15Booker T's got those long legs,
00:12:16got some height,
00:12:17drove Benoit with that side slam,
00:12:19now an arm bar by Booker T.
00:12:21Again, ladies and gentlemen,
00:12:22we'd like to thank you for allowing us
00:12:24to come into your household here
00:12:25on this Sunday evening
00:12:26to wrap up a great Thanksgiving weekend.
00:12:29Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving
00:12:31as we kick off the 19th annual Survivor Series.
00:12:34Michael Collins has it ringside.
00:12:36Did you just use the word y'all?
00:12:38Did you just say y'all?
00:12:39I may have.
00:12:40Weren't you from Jersey?
00:12:42What do you know about y'all?
00:12:43I lived in Texas for a couple of years.
00:12:44Ah, you never know.
00:12:45You're totally y'all.
00:12:47You would never even have turkey for Thanksgiving,
00:12:48did you?
00:12:49Would you have ham?
00:12:50You probably had pork, right?
00:12:51There's nothing wrong with ham.
00:12:53There's nothing wrong with pork.
00:12:54I know you're a big pork lover.
00:12:55I know you love pork.
00:12:56I know, you always say I love pork.
00:12:57You had squab, right,
00:12:58in some of those Colossal Balls,
00:12:59what do you call them?
00:13:00The green, uh, what do you call those things?
00:13:03Adam and Katie, what's their name?
00:13:04Sprouts of Sprouts.
00:13:06Chris Benoit battling back.
00:13:07There's a knee to the midsection by Booker T,
00:13:09and here's the abdominal stretch on Chris Benoit.
00:13:12Booker T seems to have a plan worked out here
00:13:15for this matchup tonight, Taz.
00:13:17Yeah, the plan is working,
00:13:18and Shawn Melton's happy about the plan.
00:13:20This abdominal stretch is a good way
00:13:23to pull a rib,
00:13:24or pull a cartilage out of your rib.
00:13:27Chris Benoit writhing in pain,
00:13:30center of the ring,
00:13:31Booker T wearing down the Rabid Wolf Ring.
00:13:34That's exactly what the abdominal stretch does.
00:13:36It's a very, very painful hold,
00:13:39submission hold.
00:13:40You can see the pain that Benoit's in,
00:13:42but Benoit's in great shape,
00:13:43got great flexibility,
00:13:44which you need when you're caught in this hold.
00:13:48And Chris Benoit trying to battle out of this.
00:13:50Remember, www.com, instant access
00:13:52with all your WWE superstars throughout the night here.
00:13:56Can't wait to hear what one of these...
00:13:58Right, right, right,
00:13:59Winner's end or loser, right?
00:14:00Winner's end or loser.
00:14:01Can't wait to hear what the winner
00:14:02of this matchup has to say.
00:14:03Now, look at this.
00:14:04Flex arm drag takedown by Chris Benoit.
00:14:06Actually, I think it's more compelling
00:14:07to hear what the loser has to say.
00:14:09That's true, too.
00:14:10You're all used to that.
00:14:11And here we go.
00:14:12Booker T, big boot to the face,
00:14:13knocking Chris Benoit down.
00:14:15That's why I listen to you, Cole.
00:14:16You're the loser here.
00:14:17Come on, I'm the guy who wears the sunglasses.
00:14:18Oh, wait, I'm not the only one.
00:14:19No, Coach wears them, too.
00:14:20That's right, yeah.
00:14:21You started that, I think.
00:14:22Booker T.
00:14:25You really hear the angst among the Raw
00:14:27and SmackDown superstars all day long
00:14:29here in the gym getting set for that...
00:14:31set for that 10-man matchup later on.
00:14:34Right in the mush, Cole.
00:14:35Did you see that?
00:14:36Booker T almost knocking Benoit's block off.
00:14:39Well, that might have did it, Cole.
00:14:42Benoit might be done.
00:14:43Again, the cover.
00:14:44Hook of the leg.
00:14:45There's two.
00:14:46And a kickout by Benoit.
00:14:47As we take another look, check out the impact.
00:14:48Watch this.
00:14:49Bam.
00:14:50Right in the face.
00:14:51We talk about it all the time.
00:14:52Right in the kisser, Cole.
00:14:53Right in the kisser.
00:14:54Right in the mush.
00:14:55The tremendous flexibility by the big man, Booker T.
00:14:58You ever get kicked in the face like that?
00:14:59No.
00:15:00I have.
00:15:01It might be an improvement, actually, for you
00:15:03with that pinch face.
00:15:05That pinch face thing going on.
00:15:07Look at that full face.
00:15:09And you have one of those.
00:15:10And Booker T with a high elbow.
00:15:12Why does it always look like you ate, like, a persimmon or something?
00:15:15You know what I mean?
00:15:16Like those mints.
00:15:17The cin cin.
00:15:18Like those crazy mints.
00:15:21What the hell are you talking about?
00:15:22I don't know.
00:15:23You just got a funny-looking face.
00:15:25Nothing funny about this, though.
00:15:26Right now, Booker T's putting it all over Benoit.
00:15:28Oh, look at Benoit.
00:15:29Booker T's shoulders are down.
00:15:31I believe they were Booker's.
00:15:32Maybe Benoit's shoulders were actually down.
00:15:34Well, it could be that and that deja vu all over again, actually.
00:15:39Yeah, for this past Friday night, almost another controversial
00:15:42wrapped up to this matchup here.
00:15:44Now, look at Booker T.
00:15:46Got that head.
00:15:47Got that head hooked.
00:15:48Oh, and a neck breaker by Booker T.
00:15:50Remember the surgically repaired neck of Chris Benoit.
00:15:53Booker T into the cover.
00:15:54Hooks the leg.
00:15:55Toes down.
00:15:56And Benoit rolls the shoulder at it, too.
00:15:58And Charmelle realizes that could have been the opportunity
00:16:01for her man there.
00:16:02You cannot allow Chris Benoit to stay in the matchup tag.
00:16:06The more breathing room you give Chris Benoit,
00:16:08the more of a chance he's going to win this thing.
00:16:10Absolutely.
00:16:11You're dead on with that.
00:16:12You don't want to give Benoit.
00:16:14The longer the match goes, the stronger Benoit seems to get.
00:16:17He's a machine, but Booker T doing a great job.
00:16:20Little separation between him and his opponent here tonight
00:16:22continuing the pressure.
00:16:23Exactly.
00:16:24This isn't Booker T's first dance.
00:16:25He knows that.
00:16:26He knows his opponent, Chris Benoit, well.
00:16:29Booker knows he's got to keep the pressure on Chris Benoit.
00:16:33Again, these tremendous WWE fans at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit
00:16:38trying to wheel Benoit on.
00:16:40Benoit trying to feed off the sixth man here tonight.
00:16:43Charmelle seems real concerned.
00:16:45I don't blame her.
00:16:46Back to his feet.
00:16:47That vertical base.
00:16:48Elbows to the midsection.
00:16:50And Booker T with a knee to the face.
00:16:52Still in control.
00:16:54Still in control.
00:16:55Booker's in control.
00:16:56So what's this here?
00:16:57The snap suplex.
00:16:58A go behind by Benoit.
00:16:59Watch out.
00:17:00Into the German suplex.
00:17:01And the arms are wrapped.
00:17:02The hands are clasped.
00:17:03Chris Benoit.
00:17:04It could be a hat trick.
00:17:05This is hockey town, right?
00:17:07Uh-oh.
00:17:08Block standing switch.
00:17:09Benoit.
00:17:10Yep.
00:17:11Watch out here.
00:17:12Off the ropes.
00:17:13It works into a big heel kick by Booker T.
00:17:15Both men down, center of the ring.
00:17:17Second time in this matchup, actually third, I believe,
00:17:20that Benoit's got cracked across the face
00:17:23by a flying foot, by a boot of Booker.
00:17:26First man to his feet, however, could gain an important
00:17:29Well, wait a minute.
00:17:30Here we go.
00:17:31Into the cover.
00:17:32Heels up.
00:17:33There's two.
00:17:34And a kick out again by Benoit.
00:17:36Again, ladies and gentlemen, first match
00:17:38of the best of seven series to determine
00:17:40the undisputed United States champion.
00:17:43And that Benoit kicking out of that kick,
00:17:45yeah, that just is a testament to Benoit's conditioning
00:17:49to be able to do that.
00:17:50Chris Benoit won the United States championship
00:17:52in the Survivor Series.
00:17:53I should say it's SummerSlam.
00:17:54He's screwed out of that title by Booker T.
00:17:57Oh, wait a minute.
00:17:58Look at this.
00:17:59That dragon lip.
00:18:00Dragon rip on lip drag there.
00:18:01And Chris Benoit going for the sharpshooter.
00:18:03And Booker T.
00:18:04He's got him.
00:18:05He's got him.
00:18:06And Chris Benoit just squirmed out of it.
00:18:10Actually, it looked like, I couldn't tell from that camera
00:18:12angle, but maybe Booker's shoulders might have been down
00:18:14also.
00:18:15I don't know, but I don't know.
00:18:16Couldn't tell, but it looked like from where
00:18:18the cradle took place.
00:18:19Chris Benoit's going for that sharpshooter.
00:18:21Uh-oh.
00:18:23Don't want to let Benoit start building momentum with the chops.
00:18:27Booker's stump.
00:18:29Chops echoing throughout the Joe Louis Arena.
00:18:32Benoit knocking Booker T. down.
00:18:33And this is where Benoit gets scary.
00:18:35He's starting to build momentum.
00:18:37Into the cover.
00:18:38Shoulders down.
00:18:39Forearm in the throat.
00:18:40And Booker T. just kicks out at two and a half.
00:18:44Booker T., a moment ago, his eyes,
00:18:46they looked a little freaky there.
00:18:48He's in trouble.
00:18:49Snap suplex by Chris Benoit.
00:18:50Floats into the cover.
00:18:51Shoulders are down.
00:18:52Look at that forearm.
00:18:53Buried in the bicep.
00:18:54And a kick out at two and a half.
00:18:56I mean, it's simple.
00:18:57It's simple.
00:18:58Benoit's trying to keep the arm and shoulder down of Booker T.
00:19:03Booker T., again, brought to his feet.
00:19:05There's the first German suplex.
00:19:07You can feel the momentum shifting right now to Chris Benoit.
00:19:09You mentioned before, going for a hat trick at Hockey Town.
00:19:12There's two.
00:19:13The arms are wrapped.
00:19:14The hands are clasped.
00:19:15Can Chris Benoit fire off a third German suplex here?
00:19:18And he does.
00:19:19And a release by Benoit.
00:19:21And Chris Benoit building momentum rapidly.
00:19:25And here are the live smackdown of live WWE fans here.
00:19:29They know now the momentum has definitely shifted.
00:19:31But can Benoit capitalize on those three German suplexes?
00:19:37Both men struggling here.
00:19:39Chris Benoit trying to capitalize, as you mentioned, on the German suplex.
00:19:43Sharmell, desperate look in her eyes.
00:19:45Benoit back to his feet.
00:19:46Uh-oh.
00:19:48Uh-oh.
00:19:51Chris Benoit saying, it's all over, but the shout now.
00:19:54Chris Benoit to the apron.
00:19:56Chris Benoit going to the top rope.
00:19:58Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:19:59And Sharmell up on the apron.
00:20:00What the hell on now?
00:20:02Wait a minute.
00:20:03And Benoit discouraged it.
00:20:05And Booker T. took advantage.
00:20:07Big time distraction.
00:20:09Benoit's in trouble, Cole.
00:20:11In deep trouble.
00:20:12And this is, oh, Benoit trying to battle out.
00:20:15Big right hand to the ribs.
00:20:17Headbutts now by Benoit.
00:20:19Look at the fight in this guy.
00:20:20Booker T.
00:20:22Daggering.
00:20:24Booker T. hanging on.
00:20:26Watch this.
00:20:27Bam, another one.
00:20:28Booker T. knocked off with a headbutt.
00:20:30Here's Chris Benoit.
00:20:33Benoit's going to soar, Cole.
00:20:35Can he do it?
00:20:37Booker T. just rolled out of the way.
00:20:41Booker T. saw it coming.
00:20:43Just rolled out of the way.
00:20:44Much to the relief of Sharmell.
00:20:46Sharmell grabbing the chest.
00:20:48That was close.
00:20:49Look at this.
00:20:50Booker T. rolls through.
00:20:51Booker's got his feet on the rope.
00:20:52Got it.
00:20:53Sharmell has him again.
00:20:55Booker T. is up 1-0.
00:20:58Here's your winner, Booker T.
00:21:02When the hell is somebody going to do something about this?
00:21:05Sharmell and Booker screwing Benoit again
00:21:08to take a 1-0 lead in the PESTA 7 Series.
00:21:11Major League Screwjob.
00:21:13Benoit got the screws put to him big time by Booker T.
00:21:18Booker T. has Sharmell help him out there.
00:21:21Booker T. gets the victory in the first match of the PESTA 7 Series.
00:21:25Match number two comes your way Tuesday night
00:21:27at the SmackDown Special 9-8 Texas on UPN.
00:21:30What a match that was, though, Cole.
00:21:32It was a great matchup, but again,
00:21:34when the hell is somebody going to do something about this pass?
00:21:37Chris Benoit continually gets screwed by Booker T. and his wife.
00:21:43Benoit's got to do something about it.
00:21:45I mean, Chris Benoit might be willing to.
00:21:47Well, let's show you what happened.
00:21:48Benoit in total control until Sharmell would hop up on the apron
00:21:53and once again distract the Rabid Wolverine.
00:21:56I mean, you can see it was a plan, and it's just about to work here.
00:22:01And Booker T. took advantage of that, and then look at this.
00:22:03Missed him.
00:22:04Crushed and burned by Benoit,
00:22:06and then Booker T. would convert to the Oklahoma roll here.
00:22:09But I want to show you what happened.
00:22:11As Booker T. goes to roll Benoit over,
00:22:13Booker T. would first get his feet, watch this, on the bottom rope
00:22:16for leverage, and then Sharmell helps out.
00:22:19You can see Sharmell's reaction here.
00:22:21Watch the joy and happiness as the referee was hoodwinked.
00:22:24Referee and Benoit both took reference.
00:22:26You can see it.
00:22:28The position of where he has to check the shoulders of Benoit.
00:22:32On this Tuesday night, Paul, hey, Chris Benoit, you've got to wait just two nights.
00:22:37Second match in the best of seven series for the United States title
00:22:41between Benoit and Booker.
00:22:43And a tremendous show of respect
00:22:47from these great WWE fans at the Joe in Detroit
00:22:50for Chris Benoit, who busted his ass here tonight
00:22:54to try to pick up the victory and got screwed yet again.
00:22:57But the bottom line is this.
00:22:59Booker T. leads the best of seven series one to nothing
00:23:03for the United States championship.
00:23:05Bottom line, Paul, Chris Benoit got to make up some ground
00:23:08this Tuesday night in Cincinnati.
00:23:14Eric?
00:23:16Hey, Mr. McMahon.
00:23:17How you doing?
00:23:18I'm doing great.
00:23:20Well, I just want to let you know I just left Teddy Long's office,
00:23:22and I wish Teddy good luck in his match with you tonight.
00:23:25So, in the interest of fairness, good luck to you as well.
00:23:28Thank you, Mr. McMahon.
00:23:29How you feeling?
00:23:31I feel great.
00:23:32I'm on top of the world.
00:23:33I mean, tonight, it's going to be the trifecta for me.
00:23:37Trifecta?
00:23:38Yeah.
00:23:39First, I'm going to wipe the mat with Teddy Long.
00:23:42I promise.
00:23:45Secondly, Team Raw is going to decimate Team SmackDown.
00:23:51Decimate.
00:23:52Decimate.
00:23:53You can count on it.
00:23:55But here's what I'm really looking forward to.
00:23:57Making history.
00:23:59You know better than anybody else that Survivor Series is the place to make history.
00:24:05What do you mean by that?
00:24:07Well, you know, back when you screwed Bret Hart in Montreal.
00:24:12But let's face it.
00:24:14I'm so 90s.
00:24:16I'm going to bring you right up to date.
00:24:19How are you going to do that, Eric?
00:24:20Well, it's simple.
00:24:22WWE title match tonight.
00:24:24Cena versus Angle.
00:24:27When Eric Bischoff screws John Cena, all you're ever going to hear is,
00:24:35You screwed Cena!
00:24:38You screwed Cena!
00:24:41You screwed Cena!
00:24:51So Eric Bischoff screws guys.
00:24:55Not really my thing, but I hope it works out for you.
00:25:02What's up, boss?
00:25:04How you doing?
00:25:05What's good in the hood?
00:25:07Just holding it down, trying to take care of business.
00:25:09Keep it up, I'm a nigga!
00:25:12What?
00:25:14I don't know.
00:25:23Tell me he didn't just say that.
00:25:41The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
00:25:44and it is for the WWE Women's Championship.
00:25:48Introducing first, the challenger, Melina!
00:25:58And this is our first interpromotional match here tonight at Survivor Series,
00:26:02and we're going to have interpromotional announcing.
00:26:05I'll be working with my fellow ECW alumnus, Tex.
00:26:09Yeah, that's right, Joey.
00:26:10Let me show you the greatest entrance in the history of the game today,
00:26:15and that's by the lovely Melina right here.
00:26:17Check this out.
00:26:18Watch this style.
00:26:19You ever see something like this?
00:26:20Check this out.
00:26:23Hey, Joey, you're looking over there.
00:26:24You watching this or what?
00:26:25I'm watching.
00:26:26I see you.
00:26:27I'm watching her.
00:26:28All right, well, look at me.
00:26:29Look at her.
00:26:30Don't be like Cole.
00:26:31Look at her.
00:26:34Look at this.
00:26:35That's it.
00:26:36That's it.
00:26:37That's it, baby.
00:26:38Watch, pull it over there in the white furry boots.
00:26:40I love the white furry.
00:26:41See, that's flexibility right there, Styles.
00:26:43That's what it is, my man.
00:26:45Very impressive.
00:26:46Very impressive.
00:26:47It's another reason to watch SmackDown every Friday night.
00:26:53Well, last Monday on Raw, we saw two masked men,
00:26:56who then turned out to be Eminem, abduct Chris Pratt as the Women's Champion.
00:27:02They kidnapped her.
00:27:03They took her away.
00:27:07I'm the most dominant diva in the WWE I challenge you to a match at Survivor
00:27:15Series for the WWE Women's Championship. What do you think about that?
00:27:26I think you're gonna get your ass kicked. Oh yeah right. Wouldn't that be a kick in the head?
00:27:37So what do you think of that Styles? Was that pretty cool or what?
00:27:43Certainly was a kick in the head. Look at Melina she's ready to go.
00:27:48And making her way to the ring, from Toronto, Canada, she is the WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus.
00:28:00Trish is all business tonight, not showing off those pearly whites.
00:28:04Hey Styles, what's with the tomato that runs around with Trish?
00:28:08Here we go Trish Stratus unloading on the challenger. Maybe she should have let the
00:28:15match officially begin Trish before she attached it to Smackdown lovely diva named Melina.
00:28:20Well she might be a little upset you know you Smackdown folks like to abduct people
00:28:24Kidnap and keep your eye on the Women's Champion. Check this out. Oh man. Incoming.
00:28:32Trish Stratus sailing through the air. What's up with that? Trish just took out Melina, Mercury
00:28:39and Nitro. Keep your eye on Mercury and Nitro. Quite frankly the only chance Melina has of winning
00:28:45this matchup. Melina has been trained to wrestle by Eminem. Hold on, hold on. Pump the brakes Happy.
00:28:50How could you say the only chance Melina has or imply if Eminem's here? I'm not implying it Taz.
00:28:56I said it. How do you know that? This girl can go. Melina can fight. You don't watch it. You
00:29:03don't know what she does. And stand into the whirling bird hand scissors. Nice takeover.
00:29:10Nice forearm by Trish. Trish Stratus now opening up in the corner on Melina.
00:29:16Reversing. There you go. Come on Melina. Nice tip up into a bubble mule kick. I see that forearm.
00:29:21How do you like that Stassi? Now go ahead. Tell everybody things that you don't know.
00:29:26Hey how do you like that? Nice forearm to the lower back by Melina. I'm just saying on paper
00:29:30Melina pretty new to being a wrestler on paper now. Now you opened your mouth you can't bet.
00:29:35What paper? Where is this paper people? On paper. What paper? I'm sick of hearing about this paper.
00:29:40The girl can fight. Melina can go. That's all you guys talk on rock. Well on paper you don't
00:29:46do. On paper coach. Come on. We don't wrestle on paper Stassi. We wrestle on canvas. Now you know
00:29:50me a long time. Don't piss me off. You know what I can do. Fall the match. You're too damn long.
00:29:55And now Melina with a kick to the midsection on the record-setting six-time women's champion
00:30:01Trish Stratus. Why are you screaming anyway? Taking a word in with you. I'll let you talk.
00:30:08I'll let you bury yourself in that head scissor by Melina. On the second rope strangling Trish
00:30:13Stratus. There you see Trish's number one fan Mickey James at ringside. Now Stassi what's
00:30:17with this Mickey girl? Why what is she hanging around? What's up with that? I don't get that.
00:30:20She idolizes Trish Stratus. Really? You know I used to look up to you and then I wifed up.
00:30:25I remember that and I also saw you earlier today following her around. I guess that's what that
00:30:29means. What a kick. Nice. Come on Melina. Oh look at this now. Mickey James going at it.
00:30:50Can't fight. You can't fight on the outside. What the hell? Eminem is in the ring looking for
00:30:55the stab shot on Trish Stratus. Uh-oh. They're going a little too far here. Eminem will do this.
00:31:01Waiting for the referee. Thank heaven. Thank heaven. Come on Murphy. Put her down.
00:31:08Put her down all right. They're out of here. They've been ejected. Wait a minute. What the hell?
00:31:14Hey what the hell? What is that? That's Melina's gun.
00:31:18What's up with that? Eminem very upset now because he realizes she can't beat Trish Stratus.
00:31:23How could you steal that? Nice takedown. Look at those brutal forearms across the skull.
00:31:31Brutal forearms. That's the way we do it on SmackDown Stars. Crash talking and hair pulling.
00:31:37Yeah exactly. Nice clothesline. So you're impressed now? I'm impressed. Okay good.
00:31:46Please lose the attitude. Face first into the canvas. Now I know why coach can't stand you in
00:31:51King. They told me earlier they hate you. I told them look it takes a good eight nine years to get
00:31:55the notice. And here's a surfboard by Melina. I hope those laces on Trish's tights don't come
00:32:02undone. That would be horrible. I'm more concerned about the laces on the top right now.
00:32:06Oh yeah. I'm more of a lower body guy. All right. Melina now looking to get a submission
00:32:13now with a handful of hair on the bow and arrow. Let's a go. Pretty good for a girl that on paper
00:32:19can't win. Right. You're gonna make me eat those words aren't you? Yeah you've been eating. You're
00:32:24just choking on them. Forget about it. Shot to the midsection by Trish. Once again right hand connects.
00:32:30Oh what a forearm. Look at Trish go. I'm telling you Trish is not the woman's champion for nothing.
00:32:36Uh-oh. Looking for a little satisfaction. No. Oh my god Melina. That a girl. There you go.
00:32:41That's the move that put down. That could do it. She put Trish down Friday night.
00:32:45With that old breast cover to it. No. That was close. Right shoulder up.
00:32:51Oh no. She's got a temper Joey. She's a screamer. Yeah that's kind of cool. That's a little bad.
00:32:56Oh what the hell. Trish thought that Melina was going for the clothesline and tried the matrix. Got caught to the end.
00:33:04Well that was nice by Melina to break up that back bridge that
00:33:07matrix. I've gathered you've never had any experience with Joe um with screamers Joe.
00:33:12You're not used to that right? Leave my wife out of this Taz. I know your wife. Forearms again by the champion.
00:33:20Man Trish is connecting with each and every one of those right forearms. I'll tell you Trish. Trish is
00:33:25going for sure. Come on Melina. You can't let this go. You don't let him here. Boom. Boom right to the face.
00:33:34Come on Melina. What the hell. Handstand into the head scissors. Oh my god. Beautiful takeover by
00:33:41Trish Travis. Watch out Melina heads up here. What the hell. Spinebuster. Nicely done. Hook of the leg.
00:33:50Right shoulder up. Attaboy. That's toughness Melina. Hang in there. Come on.
00:33:58Trish now waiting on Melina. Waiting patiently. Waiting patiently. She went for the chick kick.
00:34:04She caught the front kick though. Melina ducked the first but not the second.
00:34:08Well did catch that front kick. Trish wants a little satisfaction. Come on count on it Melina. Come on.
00:34:14Oh there you go. Trish lands on the apron. Oh brutal. Mickie James pulls Trish out of the way.
00:34:23On the shoulder block. There's a kick right to the face. Yeah but Mickie interfered. What's up with that?
00:34:28That happens. Yeah it happens obviously again. Trish now going up top.
00:34:33Modified strata smash. It uses the hair. Kick out. There's a win for Raw.
00:34:42Well thanks to Mickie right. But like Eminem didn't interfere.
00:34:47And still the WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus. We usually like to try and hear the ring announcer
00:34:54Joey. Don't talk over them. But anyway Eminem. They were gonna interfere. Sure they were gonna
00:34:58interfere. But you know what? So did Mickie. And it's okay that the referees of Raw ref
00:35:04reached Mickie out here but sent back Mercury Nitro. It's a crock of you know what. Give me a break.
00:35:12Nice comeback too. Raw wins the first interpromotional matchup. Much to the chagrin of Taz.
00:35:21Oh well would you be happy if Trish lost? I'm not happy. Off girl lost. You're never happy.
00:35:27Let's go to the replay Taz. There's the forearm. Here comes the shoulder block. But no. Mickie James helping out Trish.
00:35:33I'll tell you what. I'll be happy not to work with you again. That's for sure.
00:35:38Let's do it once every 10 years. Yeah sounds good. Scout. Now watch this. After Mickie cheated and helped Trish.
00:35:45Then Trish retains the title. Much to the happiness of Joey Styles. We'll probably watch this match
00:35:51back on videotape several several times. Thanks Taz once again. You're welcome. It's all your pleasure.
00:35:59And I'll tell you what. I haven't missed you in eight years. Take care. Good luck on Mondays.
00:36:07You're looking at a shot of the Joel Lewis Arena here in Detroit, Michigan. It's cold outside
00:36:13but it's hot inside. We are jam-packed for the Survivor Series. Oh I tell you what Detroit's a
00:36:19great sports town. An all-star outfielder for the Detroit Tigers, Demetri Young. A huge WWE fan is
00:36:26in the house here live tonight. Demetri Young. All right. Demetri Young's fans getting it on here at Survivor Series.
00:36:34Oh they're gonna get it on. There he is. There he is coach. Look at it Joey Styles. Triple H. That's Mochus baby.
00:36:40That's Mochus. He's looking to stain that white tape with the blood of the nature boy Ric Flair tonight.
00:36:46Last man standing.
00:36:51Well there you see it. That is one place in the WWE you usually don't want to be. Inside that monstrous
00:36:5915 foot high steel cage.
00:37:04Ric, you are no longer the dirtiest player in the game. The cerebral assassin is dissecting
00:37:14a bloodied Ric Flair. I'm beginning to think that Triple H is actually enjoying himself now.
00:37:21Look out here. Look out. Somehow Ric Flair is still in this. I bled. I sweat. I paid the price
00:37:30but I got back up. He's got guts. He's got courage. And I walked out that cage. The winner.
00:37:38Do it. He did it. He did it. Oh my god. He did it. What a victory for the nature boy.
00:37:46All Ric Flair did at Taboo Tuesday was by himself another day.
00:37:53At Survivor Series the cerebral assassin Triple H versus the nature boy Ric Flair in a last
00:38:05man standing match.
00:38:20Last man standing match is very simple. You win when you incapacitate your opponent. Right. For a
00:38:2610 count. It's not gonna be about winning. It's gonna be nasty. It's not gonna be about losing.
00:38:32It's gonna be brutal. It's gonna be about surviving. These two men are determined to
00:38:36put it into one another. Last man standing. There is no disqualification. One man walked
00:38:43out of that building. There are no rules. The other one going to the hospital. It is hard to
00:38:49believe that these two were ever the best of friends. I promise you this Ric. I will finish
00:38:56what I started. Ric Flair will prove he's the dirtiest player in the game.
00:39:03Ric for you the game is over. It will be blood and sweat and tears. Last man standing Ric Flair
00:39:12versus Triple H. It's gonna be nasty. It's gonna be brutal.
00:39:16The following is a last man standing match. Now here are the rules. There are no pinfalls,
00:39:28no submissions and no disqualifications. The match will continue until one man
00:39:35cannot make it to both of his feet and answer the count of 10.
00:39:47Time to play the game.
00:39:53Introducing first, from Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing in at 265 pounds, Triple H.
00:40:05The 10-time former World Heavyweight Champion who grew up idolizing Ric Flair. The two were
00:40:12best friends, both members of Evolution. But then Triple H decided on his own that Ric Flair
00:40:21was simply a former shell of himself and it was time for Ric Flair's career to be over.
00:40:25Yeah, I can remember a time, King, and I know you can too. It wasn't that long ago
00:40:29that these two guys were going up and down the ropes together. Ric Flair and Triple H doing it
00:40:34all together. The best of friends. But baby boy, that's a distant memory. And I tell you what,
00:40:39what we're about to see, it's going to be serious, it's going to be nasty,
00:40:43so buckle your seatbelts. Yeah, you're right. It's hard to imagine that what we witnessed
00:40:47in that steel cage match, one of the most gruesome, bloody, brutal matches ever that
00:40:52anyone could do that to someone that they once considered their friend. Oh, look at the game.
00:41:02And I guarantee you, Styles, this is a man you're looking at right here,
00:41:05that nerves are not an issue. He relishes moments such as this. Survivor Series,
00:41:12one of the biggest nights of the year. And I guarantee you, Triple H can't think of a better
00:41:16night to end the career of the Babe Ruth of Sports Entertainment. Triple H, no stranger to big money
00:41:24matches. You're right. He's got ice cold in his veins. He is not nervous and he is determined to
00:41:29end the career of Ric Flair. He is ready to go.
00:41:44And making his way to the ring, from Charlotte, North Carolina, he is the
00:41:49Intercontinental Champion, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair. Ric Flair, a 16-time World Heavyweight
00:42:01Champion. Ric Flair was told by Triple H, your time is over. And instead, Triple H ignited a
00:42:08fire on Ric Flair. Oh, Triple H, we haven't seen in years. There they go. There they go. He is not
00:42:14even waiting for the Nature Boy to get to the ring. I said he was focused. I said Triple H was ready.
00:42:18You see it right here. Not even allowing Ric Flair to get the robot. And remember, no pinfalls,
00:42:24no submissions, no countouts, no disqualifications. You have to render your opponent unable to stand
00:42:30to answer a 10 count. Boy, I don't know if this is anything about being focused, Coach, but
00:42:34it's about being determined. Look at the game. He is determined to end Ric Flair tonight. And I tell
00:42:40you what, we talked about it after Taboo Tuesday that all Ric Flair did was make the game mad. You
00:42:45can see it right here. The game is angry, and the game wants to end this one quickly. But you
00:42:49got to understand, it's going to take a while to incapacitate your opponent that much. Triple H
00:42:56hammering down on Ric Flair. Ric Flair still moving, look like referee Mickey Henson. Let him
00:43:03get that robe off at least. Honestly, Ric Flair chose to wear the ring. He chose to wear the robe
00:43:10to the ring. And Triple H took advantage. That's why he's the Cerebral Assassin. You saw the game
00:43:14throw the Intercontinental Championship out of the ring, because that's not what this match is
00:43:19about. As a matter of fact, the belt is not even up for grabs here. To me, it really is not about
00:43:23the Intercontinental Championship, and it really shouldn't be. When you talk about true feelings
00:43:28and the way these two guys truly now hate each other. Well, at least, I think the ref should
00:43:33help Flair get out of that robe. He's got a distinct disadvantage. Hey, King, you heard us.
00:43:37There are no rules. The referee doesn't need to do anything. He needs to stand there and count
00:43:41to 10. That's it. Uh-oh, where's Triple H going? Ric Flair wisely rolling to the outside to create
00:43:46his own timeout. Looks like a quarterback that runs out of bounds, but Triple H is not going
00:43:49to give the Nature Boy any breathing room. I think you're right, Coach. I think the game
00:43:53wants to end this early. Well, you can see, obviously, the game plan for the game is to take...
00:43:58I tell you what, in the game plan... What's that come from?
00:44:01What's he got? It's a kendo stick.
00:44:08And Flair is swinging away. Oh, my gosh.
00:44:12Ric Flair was weighing in light and weight for Triple H. Well, Coach, you referred to Ric Flair
00:44:18as the Babe Ruth of sports entertainment. If you remember the real Babe Ruth, look at this.
00:44:23Look at this. The Babe has been around for a long time, and I don't think Flair
00:44:27has got any plans on going anywhere. He's out with the fans, and remember,
00:44:31that standing 10 could happen anywhere in the building. It could happen outside.
00:44:36Look out, people. Be careful. I guarantee that Ric Flair does not want to stand out there and
00:44:41trade punches with the game. Well, I think he's... He'll trade chops, though. He's happy to do it
00:44:46right now. Watch it. Look out. Look out. Oh, backdrop. Back to the ringside area. I think
00:44:53Ric Flair landed on that kendo stick. I think Ric Flair may have tattooed Triple H pretty good
00:44:59with that kendo stick, because it looks to me like Triple H is a little bit stunned right now.
00:45:05Well, Flair down as well. Both of these men off to a very fast pace in this match. I don't see
00:45:10how they can keep this up for very long. Triple H back to his feet. Referee Mickey
00:45:16Hanson continuing to count. Nature Boy Ric Flair. It's up to five.
00:45:24As you said, somebody's got to be incapacitated to where they can't absorb 10 count. Oh, no.
00:45:31The suplex on the outside. Triple H saw that Ric Flair was getting up, didn't want to wait,
00:45:36went right back on the attack. And I firmly believe, after what we saw at Taboo Tuesday,
00:45:40when now the count is on, the 10 count is on. Now just counting Ric Flair. Keep in mind,
00:45:47if you're watching at home, that the referee continues to count, even if one man is up.
00:45:53Continues to count. That's a very important statement, because Ric Flair now has to get
00:45:58back to both feet before the 10 count. It's up to seven. He's up. He's up. Back to his feet.
00:46:04And Triple H right there to greet him on the apron. Cinching up the Nature Boy.
00:46:10Flair just suplexed out on the floor and now being suplexed back into the ring.
00:46:15Textbook vertical suplex by Triple H. I'll tell you what, Triple H is dominating Flair,
00:46:21just like I knew that he would, because Triple H knows that tonight is the night of nights.
00:46:26Tonight he needs to prove he is the very best. Wait a minute, coach. What happened at Taboo
00:46:30Tuesday? I remember that same spiel you reeled off. It looks like the game was going to dominate
00:46:35Ric Flair inside that steel cage. What happened? Taboo Tuesday happened. Ric Flair got lucky,
00:46:40and like they always say, a blind squirrel does find a nut once in a while. Elbow once again to
00:46:46the small to the back of Nature Boy, Ric Flair. Ric Flair's back injury is well documented. Broke
00:46:51that back in a plane crash. Guys, make a note of the time right now, because this is where
00:46:54Triple H starts to really punish Ric Flair, methodically tearing the Nature Boy apart.
00:47:00Oh man, look at that big right hand from the game. You know, Triple H is the cerebral assassin. He
00:47:06has earned that name time and time again. Yeah, but Flair has earned the name of the dirtiest player
00:47:11in the game. Ric Flair now finding his way out of the corner with punches and chops.
00:47:16Triple H now going to the outside after Flair.
00:47:30Well, I think that the game realizes that- Hey, can I tell you what? Right now,
00:47:34I don't mean to interrupt the game. That's all right. Can I tell you what? Triple H is
00:47:37aware he does some of his best work outside of the ring. That's what I was going to say.
00:47:40Where he can use anything. That's right. That's what I said. I'm like a prophet, baby boy.
00:47:48There are a lot of objects and obstacles outside that ring that can do some severe damage,
00:47:52and underneath the ring as well. Let's talk about the big picture here. Triple H is an egomaniac.
00:47:59Wait a minute. That's a screwdriver. That is a screwdriver. Come on now, wait a minute. Oh,
00:48:03no, no. Hey, ref, come on. You can at least- Come on. Digging into the flesh of Ric Flair.
00:48:10Ripping away at that flesh. Not only does Triple H want to incapacitate Ric Flair,
00:48:16he wants to maim Ric Flair too. It looks like he took half of the Nature Boy's head off. Come on.
00:48:23The Nature Boy's bleach blonde hair is now being stained crimson.
00:48:30Triple H has no conscience. Tonight, Triple H doesn't care about anybody but himself,
00:48:37and he can't have a conscience if you want to win a Last Man Standing match.
00:48:41The blood now flowing freely from the face of Nature Boy Ric Flair. Styles, I'm going to tell
00:48:46you this, because you're new and this is your biggest night so far. Deep down, I know Triple
00:48:50H. He hates to do this to his best friend, but he has to. Triple H has to do this. What do you mean
00:48:55he has to and hates to? Flair made him do it. Look at the game. He relishes it. He's got a
00:49:00screwdriver in his damn hand. What do you mean he hates it? Get into the face of Flair. The
00:49:05screwdriver. Sometimes when you idolize somebody so much, so bad, it's going to be brutal, but
00:49:15this is beyond brutal. You'd think the referee, I know there's no rules, but surely he could,
00:49:19I mean, out of human compassion, you got to stop that man with the screwdriver. I'll tell you what,
00:49:24I'm watching this man right now and Triple H is pulled, pulled all the way down to the bone.
00:49:31Because again, against Styles, Triple H has to be. We're talking about to the bone. He brought
00:49:36that screwdriver right to the skull of the Nature Boy. And because Triple H is, I love to say this,
00:49:42is that damn good. The bottom line is Triple H is an egomaniac and deep down what he wants more
00:49:49than anything is to beat Ric Flair's unprecedented record of 16 world championships. He's only a 10,
00:49:56but to make sure Flair doesn't win anymore, never wins number 17. Relax, babe. Relax. Are you
00:50:05watching this? I'm bringing it down. I'm watching because you're right. Triple H does want to become
00:50:09a 16 time world champion, but he wants Ric Flair to sit at home and watch him do it. Come on coach,
00:50:15are you telling me that you're enjoying this? I'm enjoying every single minute of it. Are you
00:50:18telling me I'm in Joe Louis arena? I'm at Survivor Series. It's about past the torch
00:50:22and I'm watching it here. I'm like a fan myself. This is beautiful. I don't think the torch is
00:50:30being passed here. I think it's trying to be ripped out of the bloody hands of Ric Flair
00:50:37with the help of a screwdriver. Triple H being watched, that torch is going to have to rip out
00:50:43of Ric Flair's cold, dead, damn hands. I'll tell you what, the domination continues and there's
00:50:49nothing Ric Flair can do about it. There is no cage to get out of. There is no cage to leave.
00:50:54There's nowhere for Ric Flair to run to. This does not hold well for Ric Flair. Gentlemen,
00:51:02there is a plan here. You're seeing it. You're seeing it at a well-executed point.
00:51:06I know this man. I know this man and you're seeing how nasty he could truly be.
00:51:16And the blood continues. There you go. Right into the steel steps. Let's show him,
00:51:22let's show him, Nature Boy, how dirty the dirtiest player in the game can be.
00:51:26An act of instinct and desperation on the part of Ric Flair. A momentary bump on the road.
00:51:32Yeah, I'm just worried about the fact that Flair has lost so much blood now.
00:51:36The strength has probably been drained out, just like that blood draining out of his head.
00:51:40Referee Mickey Henson counting both combats. Come on, Flair.
00:51:47Go up to a five count now, fellas. Flair's to his feet.
00:51:55Oh, as if Flair's vision wasn't already blurred by that blood now. No, no.
00:51:59Oh, my God. Spine buster on the floor. Come on, Triple H.
00:52:04And it's amazing, Ric Flair's right down in front of us at ringside,
00:52:07how nasty and bloody his face really is when you're only three feet away.
00:52:14Blood everywhere on the floor. The referee's starting to count.
00:52:18People, get out of the way. Oh, Flair.
00:52:19Come on, Flair. Get up, you old bastard.
00:52:33Stay down, or I'm going to put you down for good.
00:52:38Referee up to six. Stay down, Ric.
00:52:44Do what's good for you. He's up.
00:52:46Stay down. Oh, look at this. He's got a handful of the family jewels of Triple H.
00:52:58Did you hear that? I don't know how else to break that hold.
00:53:02Why doesn't Ric Flair just listen to Triple H? Triple H is doing what's best for the Nature Boy.
00:53:08Why can't he understand that? The most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
00:53:11Just stay down. And that's one of the lowest things I've ever personally seen Ric Flair do,
00:53:15grabbing the jewels of one of the- Get it out of the way, King.
00:53:20What do you mean, get it out of the way? Triple H is burning. Get it out of the way,
00:53:22Ford. What are you going to try to help him now, coach?
00:53:27Ric Flair's face has been ripped open by a screwdriver throughout this matchup.
00:53:34No, no, no, no, no. Look out.
00:53:39Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
00:53:41The right- This is what happens when a career ends. You're looking at it two feet away, baby.
00:53:49Get it out of the way. He's got a pedigree through our table.
00:53:54Finish the Nature Boy. Finish him. Oh, my God.
00:54:04Ric Flair just backdrop Triple H right through the table.
00:54:12Yes. Triple H is completely obliterated.
00:54:17Yeah, yeah. You're three feet away from him now, coach. Describe to us what he looks like.
00:54:22Tell you what, I'm about one foot away. Triple H's eyes are not open.
00:54:27He is not responding, and we're up to a four count. Maybe history.
00:54:31Mickey Henson still counting on Triple H. Come on, Hunter. Get up.
00:54:36Six. Six.
00:54:38Get to your feet, Flair. Seven.
00:54:42Get up. Flair's up. He's up to eight.
00:54:48Get up, baby. There you go. Damn.
00:54:51He's up. He's up. He's up. He's up. He's on both feet.
00:54:55Can we see that one more time? We have to see that one more time.
00:54:58Coach, can you believe your eyes here? I'll tell you what. No pedigree, but yes.
00:55:04Did you see Triple H's head bounce not only on the table, but on the floor? It's a miracle to me.
00:55:09This is how great the game is that he was able to get up.
00:55:12And now the game is in a wheelchair at hand.
00:55:15It is a testament style. Pay attention to this man's toughness.
00:55:22Nobody's doubting anybody's toughness in this match, coach.
00:55:26Chops by Ric Flair resounding here in the jaw.
00:55:29Flair's coming on strong.
00:55:46Check out one more time.
00:55:57Guys, it is still amazing to me. We're up to
00:55:59two now. We're up to four now.
00:56:06Major Boy choking on his own blood, but he's back to his feet.
00:56:10Triple H is not. Now he is.
00:56:15Down goes Flair. Guys, it is still amazing to me that these two guys will go this far,
00:56:21this far to prove to one another that they are better than the other man.
00:56:27Triple H will go this far to finish it.
00:56:37Do not tell me he's had a stream of consciousness.
00:56:40Do not tell me that Triple H is having second thoughts.
00:56:45It means that Triple H has something even worse in mind for the Nature Boy.
00:56:47That's what that means. That's what I got to believe.
00:56:50I can't.
00:56:52Look at this. There's still fight left in the Nature Boy.
00:56:55There's fight left in the Nature Boy, but Ric Flair doesn't even know where he is.
00:56:58He's stumbling. He's stammering. He can't even see the game.
00:57:01He has so much blood in his eyes.
00:57:02You're right. If this were a boxing match, it would have been stopped a long time ago,
00:57:06but it's not.
00:57:07Oh, hold it. Now I get it. Now I get it.
00:57:10Oh, no.
00:57:11It's about time. It's about game over.
00:57:14Pedigree.
00:57:16Ric Flair goes downstairs.
00:57:20The dirtiest player in the game strikes again.
00:57:23Pedigree just hit one last home run.
00:57:26Oh, wait a minute. No, he's going to swing for defense.
00:57:33Flair connects with a steel chair.
00:57:36That may do it.
00:57:37Count. Referee, count.
00:57:45Technically, both combatants are down.
00:57:47No, Flair is up. Flair is up on both feet.
00:57:50Or up to a four count.
00:57:51I don't know how much steam Ric Flair had on that chair,
00:57:55but if it was enough, this one's going to be over.
00:57:59Now, somehow, Triple H makes it back to his feet to stop the count.
00:58:03Just for a second.
00:58:07Flair fighting again.
00:58:10Well, they all said that this is about survival,
00:58:13and Flair's going to do anything, absolutely anything, to survive.
00:58:20Flair chomping and punching away in the corner.
00:58:24Where did that stuff land?
00:58:26Listen to this chair chop.
00:58:28Did he ever connect?
00:58:32Back elbow to the face by the Nature Boy,
00:58:34who now goes to the outside and grabs Triple H on the way out.
00:58:38Oh, no, wait a minute.
00:58:43This could be bad for the game right here, real bad.
00:58:46Oh, no!
00:58:50Well, Ric Flair has already made it obvious that that's one of his game plans,
00:58:53is to go after the lower body of Triple H,
00:58:57and now Ric Flair is, I got to call him like a CEO,
00:58:59Ric Flair is dominating at this point.
00:59:03And I think that from what we're seeing here,
00:59:05Triple H may be altered permanently from the results of this match.
00:59:09You'd like to think not.
00:59:10Ric Flair very thorough and worked on the lower body,
00:59:13not over the groin,
00:59:13but now smashing the legs repeatedly on that steel ring post.
00:59:18Oh!
00:59:20The legs is what's in between.
00:59:26Well, I certainly hope that Triple H was not planning on going out tonight.
00:59:30How do you stand after that?
00:59:31How can you possibly stand after that?
00:59:34Very, very carefully.
00:59:35He can barely stand.
00:59:38And there's the clip of the knee from behind.
00:59:42Well, I think that Flair...
00:59:44Oh, wait!
00:59:45Look at that!
00:59:48Yes!
00:59:51Flair is after those legs.
00:59:53You can't stand up if you don't have any legs.
00:59:56And remember, Triple H suffered a torn quad in the year 2001.
01:00:00Ric Flair knows that.
01:00:02He targeted that leg in Taboo Tuesday.
01:00:05He's doing it again tonight in Survivor Series.
01:00:08Well, yeah, by the way, it was a quadricep.
01:00:11I'm begging you.
01:00:15Oh, God.
01:00:16Drives the knee right to the face of Triple H.
01:00:20And I seriously don't know...
01:00:21Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:00:22I think he's...
01:00:26I think he almost tried to woo, but he just didn't have it in him.
01:00:29Well, if he woos right now, he's just going to spit blood.
01:00:34Back to the legs.
01:00:36Another clip of the knee.
01:00:40I would have thought that by now...
01:00:42You know, when Ric Flair started targeting those legs,
01:00:45you know that the pendant figure four is not far behind.
01:00:52Oh, oh, oh.
01:00:52Triple H kicks him off.
01:00:56Flair going right back for the figure four.
01:01:00And the pop kick to the outside.
01:01:01You know, guys, I understand, I guess, the logic.
01:01:03I understand the game plan, but can you explain to me this?
01:01:06What?
01:01:06When you're putting the figure four leg lock,
01:01:08you're going after the legs,
01:01:09but yet you're not trying to knock Triple H out.
01:01:11How will he keep Triple H down?
01:01:14That's what I want to ask you.
01:01:16Well, if he tears that quad again, he can't stand.
01:01:19Baby Boy, when he tore the quad, he finished the match.
01:01:22And he went to the back.
01:01:23Doesn't mean he was standing within 10 seconds, though, does it?
01:01:26Triple H is tougher than any man alive.
01:01:30A torn quadricep will not stop him from standing.
01:01:32Well, we're going to find out if his legs are tougher.
01:01:37Are his legs tougher than any man alive's legs, coach?
01:01:41They better be.
01:01:42If not the quadricep, maybe Flair cracks the patella.
01:01:45The kneecap.
01:01:47Why is the referee not counting?
01:01:49Two.
01:01:50Oh, he is counting.
01:01:50He's counting.
01:01:52No one's doubting that Triple H is tough, but he's not superhuman, coach.
01:01:56Now we see the figure four.
01:01:58Get it.
01:02:00He's got it.
01:02:01He's got it.
01:02:02And Flair, it's perfectly legal now for Ric Flair to use those ring ropes for leverage.
01:02:10Well, I will say this.
01:02:11That right now, Ric Flair is showing why he has been in the game for so very long.
01:02:17He knows the way around the ring.
01:02:19Coach, you're right about one thing.
01:02:20It doesn't matter if Triple H wanted to tap out right now.
01:02:23The match still wouldn't be stopped.
01:02:25This is just to, as we say, incapacitate the legs of the game.
01:02:29Ric Flair is going to leave the figure four on for as long as he possibly can.
01:02:34Working on the knee, working on the shin, working on the quad, basically trying to make
01:02:40sure that Triple H can not stand on top of his head, but it doesn't mean anything.
01:02:44Like you say, it doesn't mean anything, but there's no way for Triple H to go.
01:02:48There's nothing Triple H can do but sit there, or excuse me, lay there and take the pain.
01:02:52Yeah, but you got to admit, Triple H, he wants to give up right now.
01:02:55Well, he does want to give up, but he's not going to.
01:02:58Ric Flair looks exhausted himself, simply holding with one hand.
01:03:03Holding with everything he's got for leverage.
01:03:05I think Ric's giving up, because when this match started, I would have said
01:03:08that the longer this match goes, the more it favors Triple H.
01:03:11Well, that goes without saying, duh, but I don't think that Flair's giving up.
01:03:15He's getting up.
01:03:15Well, they're up to a four count now.
01:03:19Make it five.
01:03:22Flair needs the ring rope to hold himself up.
01:03:25Now watch, he's already at six.
01:03:27Those legs may not go up.
01:03:29He may not be able to stand on those legs.
01:03:31Triple H has already escaped one night.
01:03:33Oh, look, look at this.
01:03:34Oh, referee, he was not up.
01:03:36Well, he was up for a second on both feet.
01:03:39Got to go with the discretion of referee.
01:03:41What match are you watching, Joey Styles?
01:03:45Close one, and both men go down after that collision.
01:03:50Man, oh man.
01:03:52The referee just, I mean, he really let the game survive on that one, if you ask me.
01:03:57He was up on his feet for just a second, King, and the rules are the rules.
01:04:02Look how gingerly the game is having to walk right now.
01:04:06Those legs, those knees are damaged.
01:04:08That's not walking, that's limping.
01:04:09Uh-oh, uh-oh.
01:04:10It's barely walking, and now dragging those steel steps towards the ring.
01:04:13He's got them up over his head.
01:04:15Look out, this is not good.
01:04:16I'll tell you what, I seriously question this move by Triple H because
01:04:19both men have gone through so much.
01:04:25But this could be the beginning of the end
01:04:27for Ric Flair, who is just leaning in the corner.
01:04:30Oh, this is going to be...
01:04:32Oh my God, right to the face of the Nature Boy.
01:04:35Those unforgiving steel steps right to the bloody skull of Ric Flair.
01:04:40Well, it wasn't a very long story because the end is now here.
01:04:44But look at the blood that's pumping out of Flair's head.
01:04:47Listen to this.
01:04:48Oh my God.
01:04:56Triple H is up, Flair is down.
01:04:58No, Flair's up.
01:04:59He's up.
01:05:01Oh, drop to a hold.
01:05:03Drop to a hold and face first into the steel steps goes Triple H.
01:05:07And Triple H may have just knocked himself out.
01:05:11Well, if the referee would start counting, he may be out for a 10 count.
01:05:14Yeah, but so is Flair.
01:05:15Wait a minute.
01:05:17Flair's lost a lot of blood.
01:05:19They're both out.
01:05:21Oh, Flair's moving.
01:05:22Come on, Flair.
01:05:23Flair is moving.
01:05:24He is moving.
01:05:25Triple H is not.
01:05:27I think Triple H is out cold.
01:05:30Triple H is not moving at all.
01:05:31Well, they have to move a little bit.
01:05:36Six.
01:05:38Stick to your feet, Nate.
01:05:39Seven.
01:05:41He's up.
01:05:41Triple H is not.
01:05:43Eight.
01:05:45Triple H is up.
01:05:46Oh, they're both up.
01:05:49A chuck.
01:05:50What a match.
01:05:51This is brutal.
01:05:56Ouch.
01:06:01And Flair just wearing out the game now with lefts and rights and chops and all.
01:06:05Oh, pedigree.
01:06:06Pedigree.
01:06:07Pedigree.
01:06:08Triple H hit the pedigree on Ric Flair.
01:06:10Stop the count.
01:06:11Stop the count.
01:06:13But will it be enough?
01:06:16Well, not many people have gotten up from that pedigree.
01:06:19And Triple H wisely backpedals into the corner so he can use the ropes to pick himself and
01:06:24prop himself up.
01:06:27You can see Triple H's face wondering, is this enough?
01:06:31Triple H has won it, in my opinion.
01:06:34This one is over.
01:06:38Keep counting, ref.
01:06:39Keep counting.
01:06:39Come on, Flair.
01:06:40He's using the steps to pull himself up.
01:06:42Yes, he's up.
01:06:42He's technically up.
01:06:43Come on.
01:06:44He was up on his toes.
01:06:45He's up.
01:06:46He's up.
01:06:46He's at both feet.
01:06:49Give me another one.
01:06:50Give me another one.
01:06:52Triple H took another pedigree.
01:06:54And done.
01:06:55Count again.
01:06:59All right, coach.
01:07:02I got to agree with you.
01:07:02I think he's done.
01:07:03Thank you very much, Keith.
01:07:05It only took you about 25 minutes, but finally you're coming around.
01:07:08Not only is Ric Flair done, but this is the last that I think we'll ever see Ric Flair
01:07:13in a competitive match.
01:07:15Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:07:16Wait a minute.
01:07:18Man's talking too soon, coach.
01:07:19You're kidding me.
01:07:20What is the matter with this man?
01:07:22Is he just stupid?
01:07:23Is Ric Flair just the dumbest man on the face of the planet?
01:07:26Look at that.
01:07:27Look at that.
01:07:29He's flipping off the game.
01:07:33All he's doing is make Triple H madder and madder and madder.
01:07:37And so what?
01:07:38Ric Flair has taken everything that Triple H has to hand out and says, bring it.
01:07:44I got another third pedigree.
01:07:48And once again, Ric Flair driven skull first into the canvas.
01:07:52The third time Joey Styles is a charm.
01:07:55Referee count, and I guarantee you that this is it.
01:08:03Nothing charming about it.
01:08:04Ric Flair has been beaten.
01:08:07Now, now at the counter force.
01:08:09They're still alive.
01:08:10How unceremoniously has Ric Flair's career come to an end in this building, on this night,
01:08:16in Joe Louis Arena.
01:08:18It ends like this for the Nature Boy.
01:08:21That's crap.
01:08:22What is this now?
01:08:23Ric Flair is still fighting.
01:08:24Oh, there's the last round.
01:08:26Oh, baby.
01:08:27Well, maybe I do want Ric Flair to get up just one more time.
01:08:34Come on, Ref.
01:08:34That's it.
01:08:35Should we tell Ric Flair to get up?
01:08:37Oh, my God.
01:08:42The Great Equalizer has spoken again.
01:08:47The Great Equalizer.
01:08:49Great Equalizer.
01:08:51Triple H, if you ask me, is a son of a bitch.
01:08:54He had to go down, pull out a sledgehammer to try to end the career of Ric Flair.
01:09:00Not to mention a screwdriver to steal steps.
01:09:03Could have broken the man's spine with that.
01:09:07Maybe it is over.
01:09:09Triple H has done it at Survivor Series.
01:09:16Triple H and the damn sledgehammer.
01:09:18Triple H, Triple H, you can't take it.
01:09:22Yeah, but it did take the sledgehammer.
01:09:24It took the sledgehammer.
01:09:25But everything is legal.
01:09:27And I'll say this.
01:09:28Ric Flair got up from not one, not two, but three pedigrees.
01:09:32He went toe-to-toe with the game all night long.
01:09:35But in the end, Triple H proved once again that you can be the shirtiest player in the game.
01:09:41But baby, you are not the game.
01:09:44What a display of brutality.
01:09:47Oh, look at this.
01:09:49He's symbolically putting Ric Flair out of his misery.
01:09:55That's what you do to horses, Joe.
01:09:57Joe Louis Arena is the house.
01:09:59Ric Flair just got taken behind the house.
01:10:02He's a tough old horse.
01:10:04But boys, sometimes, when you're a tough old horse, you got to get shot and put out of
01:10:09your misery.
01:10:15Ric Flair absorbs everything that Triple H had to dish out.
01:10:21Screwdriver, steel steps, but the sledgehammer, the sledgehammer, too much for any human being
01:10:27to withstand.
01:10:28And look at the sadistic smile, the joy on the face of the game.
01:10:32And Joey King, I know you guys are big fans of this business, big fans of history.
01:10:38But what does it feel like to sit here right now, about 15 feet away from Ric Flair?
01:10:44After everything he has done, after everything that Ric Flair has been through, and watch
01:10:49his career come to an end.
01:10:51Now, you tell me, what does it feel like to you, coach?
01:10:53Are you happy to see that?
01:10:55You're smiling like the game.
01:10:56No, no, no, no, no.
01:10:57I'm not happy to see it.
01:10:58And this makes you happy that you're a son of a bitch just like Ric Flair?
01:11:01King, don't get me wrong.
01:11:02Just like the game.
01:11:02Do not get me wrong.
01:11:03I do not enjoy this.
01:11:04No, it wouldn't sound like it, dude.
01:11:06Look, Ric Flair asked for this.
01:11:08Ric Flair didn't know when to walk away.
01:11:10He didn't ask for anything.
01:11:14What kind of sick human being would be proud of himself?
01:11:21We thought this may have been the difference maker.
01:11:23The backdrop for the Spanish announce table by a bloody Ric Flair.
01:11:31And then there, the game comes with those steel stairs.
01:11:36Right to the skull.
01:11:38Not one, not two, but the three pedigrees.
01:11:41The hat trick.
01:11:42Three pedigrees on Ric Flair.
01:11:44And he still got up.
01:11:47Well, guys, like we said, you got to give Ric Flair a whole bunch of credit.
01:11:51He did get up from all three pedigrees.
01:11:54But this was last man standing, baby.
01:11:56Anything was legal.
01:11:57And whatever it takes to get it done is what Triple H was willing to do.
01:12:02And here's what it took.
01:12:03A damn sledgehammer right to the spine.
01:12:06Right to the spine.
01:12:07Hey, Ric Flair, Ric Flair would not stay down.
01:12:09So Triple H had to do it.
01:12:11And Ric Flair got what he deserved.
01:12:14Frankly, this is making me a little sick to my stomach.
01:12:19I want to tell you something.
01:12:20This is not, this is a sad sight, if you ask me.
01:12:23It is a sad sight.
01:12:25It's a sad sight when somebody doesn't know when to walk away, guys.
01:12:29It is sad.
01:12:30Coach, you're ridiculous.
01:12:36He was the product of a dungeon.
01:12:38The pride of a nation.
01:12:40And truly the excellence of execution.

01:12:57In his own words, Bret Hart relives his life and career
01:13:01from the exhilaration of superstardom to the heartbreak of family tragedy.
01:13:05I've always agonized over the fact that I wasn't there for him.
01:13:09To the night his life and wrestling change forever.
01:13:13I think there is regret on both of us.
01:13:16I stand by what I did.
01:13:18This is a story only Bret Hart could tell.
01:13:21You'll see Bret's early days in Stampede Wrestling.
01:13:2418 of the Hitman's greatest matches,

01:14:07I'm not the one that got hurt.
01:14:08Uh-uh.
01:14:09I'm not the one that got hurt.
01:14:10And if Raw wouldn't have interfered on SmackDown,
01:14:12you'd be looking at the new World Heavyweight Champion.
01:14:14Healthy as a horse, he is.
01:14:15Listen to yourself, Randy.
01:14:17Come on, man.
01:14:17Well, listen to this.
01:14:18Batista's hurt.
01:14:19We got a job to do tonight, man.
01:14:21And he is hurt.
01:14:21He is the weak link in the team.
01:14:23He is a weak link.
01:14:24He's dumber than Boxer Rocks.
01:14:25Imagine him like General Custer.
01:14:26Where all these Indians come from?
01:14:28A malignant case of stupidity.
01:14:30That's exactly it, JBL.
01:14:31He is all guts, no brains.
01:14:33Todos los dos están locos, man.
01:14:34What do you think?
01:14:35Can we get a translator, please?
01:14:36What do you say?
01:14:37Ray, Ray, please.
01:14:38Listen.
01:14:39Last two years, Survivor Series, I won.
01:14:41I won the Survivor Series match.
01:14:43World champion or no world champion, it does not matter.
01:14:45Third generation!
01:14:46I'm doing things tonight.
01:14:47Third generation!
01:14:47You guys, listen to me.
01:14:49I...
01:14:58Batista, we were just talking about you.
01:15:00Yeah, I heard.
01:15:01Randy was.
01:15:03Look, guys.
01:15:08There can only be one leader out there tonight.
01:15:11And I think, as world champion, it should be me.
01:15:19What do you guys think?
01:15:21Batista, I'm down, man.
01:15:24All to hell with that.
01:15:25What about me?
01:15:26I'm JBL, damn it.
01:15:27I'm like Norman Schwarzkopf.
01:15:29You want to go to war, go with Jim Hare, Harvey Truman.
01:15:33You're cool with me, Dave.
01:15:39I'm good, yeah.
01:15:40Why?
01:15:41Big man?
01:15:43What's your name?
01:15:46Randy.
01:15:51You're the man.
01:16:00Cool.
01:16:03That's him.
01:16:04Let's do it.
01:16:05Yeah.
01:16:10You think you know me.
01:16:20Hey, Mr. Money in the Bank!
01:16:22Wait a minute, what the hell is Angelina doing here?
01:16:27Ed's got the Money in the Bank briefcase, but I gotta tell you guys,
01:16:30Ed's wasn't scheduled to be a Survivor Series.
01:16:33Well, I'm actually glad he's here since he brought along Lita.
01:16:36Wow, she does look phenomenal tonight.
01:16:39Where's the rest of her top?
01:16:40She really knows how to pack her trunk.
01:16:45I'll tell you what, I don't care why Ed is here.
01:16:47Anytime Ed is here, I care because he is entertaining.
01:16:51And brother, he looks cool tonight.
01:16:53Anybody that makes those shades look good makes what?
01:16:55I just thought of something.
01:16:56What?
01:16:57You think maybe Ed is here to make the announcement?
01:16:59What announcement?
01:17:00Issue the talent.
01:17:02You know, call in the contract that's inside that briefcase.
01:17:06I don't know, but if it is, there'll be a huge announcement tonight.
01:17:10Oh man, he won that right at Wrestlemania.
01:17:12He has until the next Wrestlemania to claim that title match.
01:17:18Anytime he wants.
01:17:26Now, I know you all want to see the WWE Championship defended right now.
01:17:31Don't you?
01:17:34Well, you're going to have to wait.
01:17:37You see, because I have a little announcement to make.
01:17:40Starting very soon, we are going to debut our very own show, The Cutting Edge.
01:17:49Cutting Edge?
01:17:50That's catchy.
01:17:51What?
01:17:51I can tell you're excited, you see, because there's not going to be any fluff.
01:17:55No stupid palm trees.
01:17:57No cheesy TV screens.
01:17:59Nothing but a live mic and me.
01:18:05And I know that scares a lot of people because I tell the truth.
01:18:09I am going to ask the questions that nobody else has the guts to ask.
01:18:13I am going to cut straight to the bone.
01:18:22My lovely co-host.
01:18:27Uh-oh.
01:18:30Say it all you want.
01:18:31You're jealous because she's mine.
01:18:33But my lovely co-host Lita has reminded me that we have a guest in the house.
01:18:40The DH of your Detroit Tigers, Demetri Young.
01:18:45Stand up.
01:18:45Stand up.
01:18:46Take a bow.
01:18:53And you see, if I had Mr. Young on my show, I'd ask him a few questions.
01:18:58Like, how does it feel to head to spring training to a team
01:19:01that has no hope in hell of winning the World Series?
01:19:10Now, Demetri, I got to ask the question.
01:19:14Is it a lack of talent or a lack of steroids?
01:19:24Now, I'm not saying it's you.
01:19:25I'm not saying you're injecting any foreign substances into your body
01:19:29except a whole lot of cheeseburgers, fatty.
01:19:34I'm going to love the cutting edge.
01:19:38Might be about to get cut off.
01:19:40Oh, salt.
01:19:41But let's face it.
01:19:44Baseball is a crock.
01:19:46It's filled with a bunch of overpaid crybabies hooked on amphetamines.
01:19:51What?
01:19:52Amphetamines, King.
01:19:56And they don't care about any of you.
01:19:59They don't care about any of you.
01:20:02But looking at you, why should they?
01:20:06I mean, what does Detroit bring to the table?
01:20:14I mean, you don't exactly foster a winning attitude.
01:20:18Your baseball team hasn't won a championship in 21 years.
01:20:25Your basketball team choked in the finals and lost a championship last year.
01:20:29Another fact.
01:20:30Edge is on top of it tonight.
01:20:33What is that line?
01:20:34And your football team, the Lions.
01:20:35Oh, God.
01:20:38He's cutting to the bone.
01:20:39He can't even say anything about them.
01:20:41They play on Thanksgiving.
01:20:43And they make me thankful for a few things.
01:20:46You see, I can fall asleep halfway through the game because I know they're going to lose.
01:20:52Good showing this week.
01:20:57They lost 27 to 7 to Atlanta.
01:20:59OK, OK.
01:21:02The other thing they make me thankful for is that I don't have to live to see them lose.
01:21:09Another thing they make me thankful for is that I don't have to live in the Motor City cesspool.
01:21:20Hey, baby, it looks like our baseball player, dude.
01:21:24I think he wants to say something.
01:21:27OK, well, the cutting edge is an equal opportunity show.
01:21:31So Mark Henry, you...
01:21:35Mark Henry, wait a minute.
01:21:36Demetri Young, you've got something to say?
01:21:39Well, then, by all means, let's add to the show.
01:21:41Yeah, Lita, do you mind being my roving reporter?
01:21:44OK, let's see what Mr. Young has to say.
01:21:46Hey, guys, do you think Demetri Young speaks English?
01:21:49What are you talking about?
01:21:50I'm just wondering if he really does have something to say.
01:21:52This guy's one of the top baseball players in the game.
01:21:54Maybe he speaks Ebonics.
01:21:57Well, you know, we do have something in common.
01:22:00It's very simple.
01:22:01I hit balls.
01:22:02You have no balls.
01:22:05There you go.
01:22:07That's pretty good retort.
01:22:09Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:22:10One second.
01:22:11Hey, I can personally...
01:22:12Oh, no, no, no.
01:22:14You want to talk about championships in this great city?
01:22:17Detroit Tigers, five championships.
01:22:20Detroit Pistons, three world championships.
01:22:26And the Detroit Red Wings.
01:22:31There you go.
01:22:31Look at that.
01:22:33A bunch of those.
01:22:34Do they still play hockey?
01:22:36Yeah.
01:22:38Hey, need I say more?
01:22:40Oh, yeah.
01:22:40One more thing.
01:22:42Edge, where is your world championship?
01:22:47Touché.
01:22:49That's a good question.
01:22:51Who got cut?
01:22:56If this is what the Cutting Edge is going to be like, I'm going to enjoy it, too.
01:23:02Hey, Edge can have the world championship anytime he wants.
01:23:05Baby, we're getting out of here.
01:23:07Just like Ford.
01:23:07Just like GM.
01:23:09We're leaving this stinking city.
01:23:10Screw you.
01:23:11Screw you.
01:23:14I'll tell you what.
01:23:14If I was disrespected like Edge was disrespected, I would leave, too.
01:23:19They were ruined.
01:23:20Edge was disrespected.
01:23:28Feats for Young.
01:23:28Shorty hit a sore point for Edge.
01:23:30Edge has never won a world heavyweight title.
01:23:32Hey, hey, this crowd doesn't understand what it's like to be a star like Edge, like Lita,
01:23:37like the coach.
01:23:38They don't understand in this stupid city.
01:23:40You know what?
01:23:40I wouldn't be surprised if the Detroit Tigers won a world championship before Edge does.
01:23:45Well, the Cutting Edge debuts officially on Raw tomorrow night.
01:23:49We're all looking forward to that.
01:23:49Can't wait for that.
01:23:50All right.
01:23:51We're all looking forward to that.
01:23:52They talk about Survivor Series.
01:23:53We could do Survivor Series without the official music of Survivor Series.
01:23:57P.O.D.
01:23:58Testify, the song is live now.
01:24:00In stores everywhere January 24th for P.O.D.
01:24:03Thank you very much for the official theme song to Survivor Series.
01:24:07Well, gentlemen, you know, we witnessed the classic match between Flair and The Game.
