00:01:30I need that belt more than life itself at this point getting to WrestleMania and proving that I could be
00:01:36Everything that I once was the greatest thing ever. I will not let that be for nothing
00:01:49The World Wrestling Federation presents backlash
00:02:00The World Wrestling Federation presents backlash
00:02:15It is an emotional and potentially history-making night in the annals of the World Wrestling Federation
00:02:22We are alive in Kansas City, Missouri
00:02:25And we welcome you, in our worldwide audience, to World Wrestling Federation Backlash!
00:02:31Jim Ross and Jerry, the King Lawler, at ringside.
00:02:35And King, as Hollywood Hulk Hogan said, I'm sure our fans at WWF New York will agree,
00:02:41Hogan is the Babe Ruth of the WWF when he's going against tonight,
00:02:46the best in the gang, the Barry Bonds, if you will.
00:02:49Can the Immortal One do it?
00:02:52For some reason, JR, I got this feeling, I got a feeling in the pit of my stomach
00:02:56that the Hulk is going to be able to rise to this momentous occasion.
00:03:02Scheduled for one fall, it's for the World Wrestling Federation Cruiserweight Championship.
00:03:07Introducing first, accompanied by Tory Wilson, the challenger, from Japan, weighing 206 pounds,
00:03:15Don Jerry!
00:03:17Well, Don Jerry will be challenging Phillip Kidman for the Cruiserweight title.
00:03:21Certainly, Don Jerry has not been the ideal boyfriend to Tory Wilson the last several weeks.
00:03:26Has been very disrespectful to that young lady, in my view.
00:03:30Well, you know, thanks to the brand extension, JR, of the WWF,
00:03:33I haven't had the opportunity to see what's been happening to Tory.
00:03:37This is just, well, this board is on revolting.
00:03:40How would you cover up a knockout body like that?
00:03:47From Allentown, Pennsylvania, weighing 215 pounds,
00:03:51the World Wrestling Federation Cruiserweight Champion, Billy Kidman!
00:03:58Of course, here tonight at Backlash, the first time all the WWF superstars will be under one roof
00:04:03in several weeks since the brand extension,
00:04:06as Billy Kidman set to defend his Cruiserweight Championship.
00:04:10When you talk about irony, it was in this very arena on October the 22nd of last year, King,
00:04:16that Don Jerry beat Billy Kidman for the Cruiserweight title.
00:04:20Of course, it begs the question, will lightning strike twice for Don Jerry here tonight?
00:04:27Well, I don't know what Don Jerry's got on his mind.
00:04:30I mean, I don't know what he could be thinking.
00:04:32All I can think of is looking over there at Tory and, whoa, look at this!
00:04:37Over there, Tory has not seen that beautiful body.
00:04:40Kidman and Don Jerry are building a tremendous rivalry,
00:04:43as we have seen develop on SmackDown in the Cruiserweight division.
00:04:47Look out!
00:04:48Kidman, an outstanding champion, to say the least.
00:04:50Arm drag takedown by Tajiri.
00:04:52And Tajiri, those almost like a mafia kick.
00:04:55Those kicks that Tajiri can deliver, and he aims right for the temple and normally hits it,
00:05:00can be debilitating.
00:05:04My best shot by Tajiri, a former Cruiserweight champion.
00:05:09With unbelievable skills, and Billy Kidman is a proud young man.
00:05:12Kidman read the comment last week on SmackDown.
00:05:14He thought he, the people didn't really know who he was,
00:05:17and I can tell you, you see this kid very many times,
00:05:19you'll know who he is, and you'll never forget him.
00:05:21He's that good.
00:05:23Kidman's impressive, all right, but don't sell Tajiri short.
00:05:27Watch out here, Kidman!
00:05:29Oh, look at this!
00:05:30Great athleticism in this Cruiserweight division, to say the least.
00:05:35And the cover of the hook of the leg in the first near-fall of the contest.
00:05:38Oh, look at that.
00:05:39Say, Art, tell me, why would you cover something like that up?
00:05:42That'd be like covering up the Mona Lisa with a canvas, Art.
00:05:51Tajiri taking it outside.
00:05:53Again, this relationship with Tajiri and Torrey Wilson has been somewhat complex in my point of view.
00:05:59I don't know why Torrey is still staying with Tajiri,
00:06:01but in any event, I'm certainly loyal in that respect,
00:06:04as Tajiri takes Kidman and hangs him on the security wall.
00:06:07Well, I understand that Torrey is under, uh,
00:06:09well, she signed a contract to be at Tajiri's corner,
00:06:12but I don't know if she was expecting this kind of get-up,
00:06:15having to, what is he gonna,
00:06:16trying to make her into a geisha girl or something?
00:06:18Well, Tajiri's changed, King,
00:06:20since Tajiri and Torrey really got together and established their relationship,
00:06:25we have seen Tajiri change before our very eyes,
00:06:29and there's a devastating knee drop right to the face of Billy Kidman.
00:06:32Well, he's changed for the worst, if you ask me.
00:06:34He's not too smart.
00:06:35Next thing you know, he'll take all his money he makes here in the WWF
00:06:37and try to open a tall man's shop in Tokyo.
00:06:41Tajiri hanging up Kidman on that bottom rope,
00:06:43and certainly, uh, referee Mike Sparks,
00:06:46right on top of the call there, got to the five count,
00:06:49Tajiri has been disqualified,
00:06:50and of course, Tajiri cannot win the Closerweight title.
00:06:54Those are those debilitating kicks we were talking about.
00:06:57I think that may have knocked Kidman out.
00:06:59We saw what happened, uh,
00:07:01the last time these two men were in the same proximity,
00:07:04that was on SmackDown Thursday night,
00:07:06where, where Kidman was literally knocked unconscious
00:07:09by one of those kicks of Tajiri.
00:07:12Look at that kick one more time.
00:07:14Look at how high this kick, right, like I said,
00:07:16right in the side of the head.
00:07:19Tajiri is really a, an expert marksman
00:07:21when it comes to those shots with his feet, I'll tell ya.
00:07:24And now Billy Kidman has grounded,
00:07:25not a bad strategy for Tajiri.
00:07:27Kidman especially lethal when,
00:07:29when able to execute his high-risk offense.
00:07:33Uh-oh.
00:07:34Nice hairpin run by Billy Kidman
00:07:36who grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania,
00:07:39lifelong WWF fan,
00:07:41tilt-a-whirl backbreaker around the world there by Tajiri,
00:07:44and that may be Kidman's problem.
00:07:46What's that?
00:07:47Grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
00:07:49I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
00:07:50Allentown.
00:07:51Uh-oh, look out here.
00:07:52And now Kidman got up to the proverbial tree of woe
00:07:55by, by Tajiri.
00:07:57Shut up!
00:07:58What did he say?
00:07:59Shut up!
00:08:00Look out!
00:08:01Tajiri, that baseball slide kick
00:08:03right to the face of the defenseless Billy Kidman.
00:08:06And at this point in time,
00:08:07the, the reigning cruiserweight champion
00:08:10finds himself into a great deal of difficulty.
00:08:13Can you just tell that Tory is not enjoying herself?
00:08:16I mean, is the kitchen girl not allowed to show any emotion
00:08:19or smile or anything?
00:08:22One, two, three.
00:08:25Kidman can't snap him back.
00:08:27They're just, he has no way to protect himself
00:08:29in that environment.
00:08:30And that's the second big time kick
00:08:32that Tajiri has gotten in in this contest on Billy Kidman.
00:08:35You gotta wonder how that's gonna,
00:08:38what the results will be.
00:08:39You know, it's a scrambled brain situation.
00:08:41I'm wondering how much more can Kidman take?
00:08:43I'm wondering how much more can I take?
00:08:45Look at Tory all covered up like that.
00:08:47I can't see the puppies!
00:08:48He hasn't smiled in weeks.
00:08:51Neither have I!
00:08:53A back breaker by Tajiri.
00:08:55Trying to turn into a submission maneuver here
00:08:57on Billy Kidman.
00:08:58And Kidman, after that second kick,
00:09:01is moving a little lethargically and rightfully so.
00:09:04What is, what is,
00:09:06what is your where under those fish outfits anyway, JR?
00:09:09Anything?
00:09:10They're anti-communicatious in Oklahoma
00:09:11that I've run across.
00:09:13So I couldn't, uh,
00:09:14I couldn't answer that question.
00:09:16Yeah, but we're not in Oklahoma.
00:09:17We're in Kansas City.
00:09:18Same difference.
00:09:19Oh!
00:09:20And Kidman, with a knee.
00:09:22There's a counter, but Kidman,
00:09:23looking just, almost just laying on,
00:09:25onto Tajiri.
00:09:26Kidman, that second shot to the head,
00:09:28has really taken Kidman out of the champion's game.
00:09:30And now the elbow to the kidneys.
00:09:35Tajiri grounding the champion.
00:09:37And that takes away a great deal of Kidman's, uh,
00:09:40offensive, uh, arsenal.
00:09:41And again, focusing on the lower back is Tajiri.
00:09:46Tajiri, a very bright young man
00:09:47with a degree in economics.
00:09:49Tajiri's got a degree in economics?
00:09:51He certainly does.
00:09:52And Kidman fighting back.
00:09:55Can't be tipped on the line.
00:09:56And, and now...
00:09:58What university did Tajiri go to?
00:10:01University of Japan, I'm not sure.
00:10:05And Tajiri finds another way to execute the tarantula.
00:10:10Another painful maneuver.
00:10:12You can't beat Kidman that way.
00:10:13But you can certainly slow him down.
00:10:15That's what Tajiri has done,
00:10:17all inside the referee's fly count.
00:10:19Looking for the knockout there.
00:10:21And Kidman works his way back up,
00:10:23fighting with everything he's got,
00:10:24knowing that his cruiserweight title is on the line here.
00:10:27Oh!
00:10:28Yeah!
00:10:29Rick Conner knew about Kidman.
00:10:30The dropkick.
00:10:31Kidman's got the cover!
00:10:32And he got a near fall there.
00:10:35The fighter took some of the wind out of,
00:10:36out of Tajiri's sails there.
00:10:38That dropkick right in the middle of the back.
00:10:40Billy Kidman, a very resilient,
00:10:42young WWF superstar.
00:10:44Oh!
00:10:45A shot, a glancing shot to the back of the head
00:10:47that did drive Kidman down.
00:10:53A human anatomy can only sustain
00:10:54so many blows to the head.
00:10:56You get concussed.
00:10:59Vision is blurred.
00:11:00Reactions are off.
00:11:01German suplex with the bridge.
00:11:04Look at this!
00:11:05There's a pinning predicament!
00:11:08Oh, look at Tajiri.
00:11:09He can't believe that Kidman kicked out of that,
00:11:10and I can't either.
00:11:11Tajiri put a couple of great offensive moves together
00:11:13there to get the near fall
00:11:15on the cruiserweight champion.
00:11:21Tajiri shoulder first into the turnbuckle.
00:11:23And comes again with that kick,
00:11:25and that's gotta be it right there.
00:11:27The leg is hooked,
00:11:28and, oh, Kidman kicked out!
00:11:29Billy Kidman refusing to stay down
00:11:32with his cruiserweight title at stake here.
00:11:34Look at Tajiri!
00:11:36Look at the snap!
00:11:37Look at this!
00:11:40Oh!
00:11:42The suplex move.
00:11:43And Kidman countered!
00:11:44Kidman's countered here!
00:11:46That could be all for Tajiri!
00:11:48Oh, Tajiri just barely able to kick out.
00:11:51Kidman with a great offensive counter,
00:11:53driving Tajiri's face into the canvas.
00:11:55Got a near fall out of it.
00:11:57What a match this is!
00:11:59Uh-oh.
00:12:01And Tajiri
00:12:03lying motionless on the canvas.
00:12:07High risk here.
00:12:08Could be the shooting start!
00:12:09And it is with nobody there!
00:12:11Billy Kidman missed the shooting star press.
00:12:14And now can Tajiri take back over?
00:12:16Oh!
00:12:17There's that shot!
00:12:18The hands are down the side!
00:12:19That's gotta be it!
00:12:20The shot to the face!
00:12:22Oh, Kidman!
00:12:23My God, how'd he do that?
00:12:24How many shots can Kidman take to his head?
00:12:26And Tajiri!
00:12:28Tajiri is scrambling Kidman's brains.
00:12:30Kidman! Kidman! Kidman!
00:12:33And the crowd here
00:12:34starting to get into this match now,
00:12:36and suddenly getting behind
00:12:38Billy Kidman!
00:12:41And Tajiri has got those
00:12:44those undeniable kicks
00:12:46and not to the chest, but to the head.
00:12:49And now both men in the top turnbuckle here.
00:12:51This feast or famine.
00:12:53Oh!
00:12:54Powerbomb by Kidman!
00:12:55Kidman out in the opener!
00:12:56He got both of them!
00:13:00Kidman can't believe it!
00:13:01And Tajiri King showing a great deal of
00:13:03resiliency himself.
00:13:05Both of these guys!
00:13:07Cruiserweight Championship.
00:13:09I certainly believe it's gonna be one of the
00:13:11the shining jewels in the
00:13:13in the WWF.
00:13:14No doubt about it.
00:13:17The shining jewels.
00:13:18Look at Torrey!
00:13:19Still no smiles.
00:13:24Uh-oh, Kidman got Tajiri out of the kit.
00:13:26Tajiri!
00:13:27He was straight in the eyes!
00:13:28Kidman was straight in the eyes!
00:13:30Where the hell did that come from?
00:13:32Oh my God!
00:13:34And new Cruiserweight Champion!
00:13:37Tajiri!
00:13:40It looked like Tajiri was about to be powerbombed
00:13:43when he got sprayed right in the eyes, King.
00:13:45You're right, that's not blood coming out of his mouth.
00:13:47That's some sort of liquid that...
00:13:49How does he do that, JR?
00:13:50Right behind the referee's back.
00:13:53And Tajiri is the new Cruiserweight Champion.
00:13:56Kidman temporarily blinded here.
00:13:59So Tajiri, by hook or crook, is the new champion.
00:14:05Tajiri, a controversial victory.
00:14:07Let's talk about your recent change of heart.
00:14:28I don't want to lose!
00:14:33I have got any idea what the man said,
00:14:35but let's take another look
00:14:36at what happened just moments ago.
00:14:39Well, I would translate what Tajiri said, JR,
00:14:41but it's a family show.
00:14:43Did you see that?
00:14:44Right in the eyes!
00:14:46That was awesome!
00:14:49Wow.
00:14:51Man, what's happening?
00:14:52What's up, Ron?
00:14:54Good to see you, man.
00:14:55How you doing, man?
00:14:56How you been?
00:14:57It's good to see you.
00:14:58Hey, you look great on SmackDown.
00:14:59I've been watching you ever since.
00:15:00I've been watching you too, brother, on Raw.
00:15:01Boy, you're knocking them out, eh?
00:15:02Yeah, that's good.
00:15:07You saw what them NWOs,
00:15:08something that you did in our office, didn't you?
00:15:09Yeah, I saw that, man.
00:15:10Check this out.
00:15:12You're going to make sure
00:15:14that don't happen again, right?
00:15:16I'm going to take care of that right now.
00:15:17Do that, man.
00:15:18It's good to see you, brother.
00:15:19Good to see you, brother.
00:15:20Good to see you.
00:15:22Nice reunion from the former A.T.A. member Bradshaw
00:15:26on Raw, now Peruse on SmackDown
00:15:29since a brand extension.
00:15:31And here comes the poison.
00:15:36The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:15:39Introducing first,
00:15:41accompanied by X-Hawk,
00:15:43representing the NWO,
00:15:46weighing 275 pounds,
00:15:48Scott Hall.
00:15:50So we come off the crowning
00:15:52of a new cruiserweight champion
00:15:54into a match where there's no titles in the line, King,
00:15:57but a great deal of pride
00:15:59as two of the three members of the NWO,
00:16:01Kevin Nash, of course,
00:16:03has been suspended indefinitely
00:16:05without pay by Raw owner Ric Flair.
00:16:08And Nash is not here.
00:16:10Well, there's a lot on the line
00:16:12in this match, all right?
00:16:14I mean, Bradshaw is going to be
00:16:15everything he can,
00:16:17not just to get a little revenge
00:16:20for what the NWO did to their A.T.A. office,
00:16:23but to try to put an end to this NWO poison
00:16:26before it completely infects the WWF.
00:16:29Bradshaw's got payback on his mind,
00:16:31I guarantee you.
00:16:35Look at X-Hawk with Kane's mask on.
00:16:38From Sweetwater, Texas,
00:16:40weighing 292 pounds,
00:16:43Bradshaw!
00:16:45It's certainly sickening to see
00:16:47X-Hawk wearing the mask of Kane
00:16:49who was injured at the hands
00:16:51of all three members of the NWO.
00:16:53Kane's still healing from those injuries.
00:16:57And Bradshaw.
00:16:59You think Kane's got a, like,
00:17:01a silver spoon in his mouth
00:17:03or something?
00:17:04And Bradshaw.
00:17:06You think Kane's got, like,
00:17:08a spare mask or something?
00:17:10I don't know if he's even able...
00:17:12Is he recuperating masculine?
00:17:14I have no idea, but I...
00:17:16That's just a...
00:17:18That mask, quite frankly,
00:17:20is an improvement for X-Hawk.
00:17:22He'll look better in his 8x10s.
00:17:24Bradshaw, the good former
00:17:26offensive lineman from Abilene Christian.
00:17:28A rip-flare, raw draft hit.
00:17:31Wait a minute.
00:17:32They got Bradshaw surrounded.
00:17:34There's gonna be a...
00:17:36Wait a minute.
00:17:38Well, I don't know how
00:17:40surrounded Bradshaw's gonna be for long
00:17:42because here comes Bradshaw's
00:17:44former partner, Farouk.
00:17:46Wait a minute, are they able to do this?
00:17:48Who's gonna stop Farouk?
00:17:54Matter of fact, with Farouk out here,
00:17:56is this gonna even the sides up?
00:17:58X-Hawk's not gonna stay out here.
00:18:00The NWO thought they were gonna have
00:18:02a one-on-one advantage.
00:18:04That is going to not be
00:18:06thanks to Farouk.
00:18:08Back to the drawing board
00:18:10for the NWO here.
00:18:15Bradshaw now competing on Raw.
00:18:17Farouk now competing on SmackDown.
00:18:19These two guys just saw each other
00:18:21a few minutes ago for the first time
00:18:23in several weeks.
00:18:25Giving separate schedules,
00:18:27separate agendas now
00:18:29in this matchup concerning...
00:18:30I don't know how Scott Hall,
00:18:32but he's a tough guy.
00:18:34A former four-time Intercontinental Champion
00:18:36is Scott Hall.
00:18:38But why would you wanna stick
00:18:40a sharp stick in a bull?
00:18:42Well, Bradshaw is.
00:18:44And that was literally
00:18:46through that toothpick
00:18:48right in the eye of Bradshaw.
00:18:50The NWO,
00:18:52they have imposed their will
00:18:54on many occasions.
00:18:56The heinous act they perpetrated on Kane
00:18:58was very sickening.
00:19:00Back to the NWO
00:19:02and Bradshaw now hammering Scott Hall.
00:19:04Look out!
00:19:06Nice DDT by Bradshaw.
00:19:08Big Ruff Houser on the cover.
00:19:10This thing breaks down into a slugfest.
00:19:12I gotta believe that Bradshaw's
00:19:14got the advantage.
00:19:16But I'm not so sure Bradshaw
00:19:18can out-wrestle Scott Hall.
00:19:24Uh-oh, Scott Hall is in a bad,
00:19:26kind of no-man's land,
00:19:28you know what I mean?
00:19:30The NWO,
00:19:32and Bradshaw now hammering
00:19:34Scott Hall.
00:19:36And X-Pac gets a taste
00:19:38of Farrukh as well.
00:19:41I could just hear you
00:19:43if X-Pac had done that first.
00:19:45Boy, you'd have said it was heinous.
00:19:47Pretty sharp subleniency here
00:19:49showing the rivalry between
00:19:51these two,
00:19:53and a lateral press,
00:19:55and another near-fall by
00:19:57Bradshaw and Scott Hall
00:19:58in a very defensive way here.
00:20:00What do you expect with those
00:20:02big clubs coming down in front
00:20:04of your shoulder blades?
00:20:06Bradshaw is a smash-mouth
00:20:08son-of-a-gun.
00:20:10There's no doubt about it.
00:20:12Nice suplex.
00:20:14Bradshaw floats over.
00:20:16Again, another lateral press,
00:20:18and again another near-fall
00:20:20as Bradshaw pressing the
00:20:22advantage here on his adversary
00:20:24representing the NWO,
00:20:26Scott Hall.
00:20:28Well, that was
00:20:30artistic license, I would say.
00:20:32Another right hand by Bradshaw.
00:20:34Scott Hall is reeling.
00:20:36He's barely able to stand.
00:20:38Scott Hall better figure out
00:20:40another path here,
00:20:42another cover, and again Bradshaw
00:20:44keeping all that pressure on Scott Hall
00:20:46for Hall to win this match.
00:20:48I'm just going to tell you,
00:20:50in my view, he's got to wrestle
00:20:52Bradshaw off Bradshaw's feet.
00:20:54I don't know.
00:20:56That was a nice right hand.
00:20:58There's no doubt about that.
00:21:00Hall is a tough man.
00:21:02He is one of the biggest superstars
00:21:04in all of sports entertainment.
00:21:06We've seen him on Monday Nights
00:21:08on Raw and Hall now
00:21:10choking away at Bradshaw,
00:21:12manipulating the referees
00:21:14down there,
00:21:16and a cheap shot by X-Spot
00:21:18as Bradshaw was
00:21:20sweeping Hall.
00:21:22I'd just like to explain one thing
00:21:24to me real quickly.
00:21:26Why was that a cheap shot
00:21:28by Bradshaw?
00:21:30That was a cheap shot, too.
00:21:32It just stuck in my mind.
00:21:34You might make a mistake,
00:21:36you know.
00:21:38Irish whip
00:21:40by Brad Edison.
00:21:42Scott Hall follows it in
00:21:44the clothesline.
00:21:46Hall, you just can't play
00:21:48with Bradshaw.
00:21:50You get a chance to put Bradshaw
00:21:52away.
00:21:54You put him away and leave.
00:21:55It's going to be his will
00:21:57on Bradshaw.
00:21:59It's been a very emotional day,
00:22:01not only the mere fact
00:22:03that all the superstars
00:22:05from Raw and SmackDown
00:22:07are under one roof for the first
00:22:09time in several weeks,
00:22:11but the mere fact that five
00:22:13titles on the line,
00:22:15one's already in the stands
00:22:17tonight since the end
00:22:19of the evening.
00:22:21It's going to be Hulk Hogan
00:22:23coming out here to challenge
00:22:25Bradshaw.
00:22:27Bradshaw knows no
00:22:29meaning of quit or slow down.
00:22:31Bradshaw is hurting
00:22:33for certain here.
00:22:35Hall's not going to make
00:22:37many mistakes.
00:22:39He's a classic example
00:22:41of a veteran who just doesn't
00:22:43make many mistakes,
00:22:45but he's going back to that
00:22:47fisted up well.
00:22:49Was that a tooth?
00:22:51Did I see a tooth fly out?
00:22:53Might have been.
00:22:55That kind of resembles
00:22:57that old bowling shoe
00:22:59a little bit ugly here.
00:23:01Hey, those bowling shoes
00:23:03are coming back in style.
00:23:05You may have other things
00:23:07flying out of his body as Hall
00:23:09as he gets nailed again
00:23:11from other orifices.
00:23:16That may do it right there.
00:23:18I'd say it's going to start
00:23:20percolating any minute.
00:23:22Hall reverses it.
00:23:24No!
00:23:26On the clothesline from hell
00:23:28from Bradshaw.
00:23:30This may be his only one.
00:23:32X-Buck put Hall's foot
00:23:34in the bottom row.
00:23:36And then another shot
00:23:38on Bradshaw.
00:23:40X-Buck running like a stalled
00:23:42dog away from Farouk.
00:23:44Bradshaw scored with
00:23:46his clothesline from hell.
00:23:48You've got to admit,
00:23:50this is pretty smart.
00:23:52Was it worth it for X-Buck
00:23:54to cut Hall some time?
00:23:56We're in Maldon.
00:23:58There's a low blow.
00:24:00There's a low blow by Hall.
00:24:02The cradle.
00:24:04And Hall beats Bradshaw
00:24:06with a low blow.
00:24:08Here is Luminer, Scott Hall.
00:24:10X-Buck caused the confusion
00:24:12on the outside.
00:24:14He eventually paid for that.
00:24:16Yeah, but he sacrificed himself
00:24:18for the good of the NWO.
00:24:19He sacrificed his own health
00:24:21and welfare for the win
00:24:23for Scott Hall.
00:24:25Look at that man.
00:24:27NWO sticking together here.
00:24:29It was not a pretty victory.
00:24:31It was not a pretty match.
00:24:33But it was a significant victory
00:24:35for the NWO
00:24:37doing what they do best.
00:24:39And that's isolating
00:24:41and taking the unfair advantage.
00:24:43That was a hard-fought battle.
00:24:46Are you sure there was
00:24:47a low blow by Hall?
00:24:49I think we can confirm that.
00:24:51Oh, we said earlier
00:24:53a veteran that didn't make many mistakes.
00:24:55Boom! Right there.
00:24:57That was a low blow by Hall.
00:24:59I didn't actually see it.
00:25:01I think it reached him through there.
00:25:03And a handful of tights.
00:25:05Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:25:07we're in Kansas City's Kemper Arena
00:25:09where tonight Hollywood Hulk Hogan
00:25:11will challenge the game
00:25:13for the undisputed WWF title.
00:25:15Also tonight,
00:25:17the NWO champion
00:25:19has appointed himself
00:25:21the special guest referee.
00:25:33Well, well, well.
00:25:35What the hell do you want?
00:25:37Don't stand up for me, Rick.
00:25:39Easy.
00:25:41How about that NWO, huh?
00:25:43Pretty damn impressive.
00:25:45But I didn't come here
00:25:47to tell you that
00:25:49I think
00:25:51I'm beginning to
00:25:53like your style.
00:25:55And what I mean by that is
00:25:57that now that you're an owner,
00:25:59you're really beginning to
00:26:01know what it's like to be an owner.
00:26:03No matter what you do for your employees,
00:26:05it's never enough.
00:26:07They're just a bunch of
00:26:09ungrateful people.
00:26:11And not only that,
00:26:13they question
00:26:15everything that you do.
00:26:17They question your integrity, Rick.
00:26:19It's gotta be getting to you.
00:26:21And
00:26:23they're very distrustful of you.
00:26:27So
00:26:29what I'm saying is, Rick,
00:26:31you're beginning to feel the heat
00:26:33as an owner.
00:26:35And now what have you done?
00:26:37You've placed yourself
00:26:39between a rock
00:26:41and a hard spot.
00:26:43I don't get it.
00:26:45You've named yourself
00:26:47the number one contender's match.
00:26:49Now either you're a fool,
00:26:56or
00:26:58maybe this is a
00:27:00stroke of brilliance on your part.
00:27:02I don't know yet.
00:27:04But
00:27:06I just want to let you know
00:27:08I'm beginning to relate to you.
00:27:10You can't relate to me.
00:27:12You haven't got a clue who I am.
00:27:14You never have known who I am
00:27:15and you never will.
00:27:17One thing for sure,
00:27:19I'll never
00:27:21be like Vince McMahon.
00:27:28Well, maybe not, but
00:27:30you could try.
00:27:34Never.
00:27:43What about that, JR?
00:27:45The hand of friendship
00:27:47was offered to Ric Flair
00:27:49and he just dismissed McMahon.
00:27:51I would say Ric Flair is a very good judge
00:27:53of human nature.
00:27:55What?
00:27:57The following contest
00:27:59scheduled for one fall
00:28:01is for the World Wrestling Federation
00:28:03Women's Championship.
00:28:05Introducing first, the challenger
00:28:07from Toronto, Canada,
00:28:09Trish Stratus.
00:28:11Well, Trish Stratus got here
00:28:13via RAW last week
00:28:15with Molly Holly
00:28:17for a number one contenders match.
00:28:19And as you will see here,
00:28:21Molly tried to cheat to win
00:28:23and quite frankly, as you will see,
00:28:25Trish beat Molly
00:28:27at Molly's own game.
00:28:29Pull those pants down.
00:28:31I mean, pull those pants
00:28:33if you get a chance.
00:28:35And the virtuous Molly
00:28:37did not like that one bit.
00:28:39And Trish Stratus earned the right
00:28:41to meet Jazz for the WWF
00:28:43Women's title here tonight.
00:28:45A couple of heads.
00:28:47Looks like she's got a blue brand.
00:28:49Trish Stratus back.
00:28:51Wait a minute.
00:28:53That's not Jazz.
00:28:55That's little...
00:28:57Molly.
00:28:59Dear Molly.
00:29:01Dear Molly.
00:29:03Wow.
00:29:05I don't understand why Molly's
00:29:07even out here.
00:29:09She had her opportunity last week
00:29:11on RAW to win the number one
00:29:13contenders opportunity.
00:29:15Yeah, she's told us.
00:29:17I heard they had a parade at her
00:29:19on the Virgin Islands.
00:29:21The Virgin Islands.
00:29:23Yes.
00:29:25These people don't want their
00:29:27WWF Women's Champion
00:29:29to be a cheater.
00:29:31Uh-oh.
00:29:33Cheater?
00:29:35And these people don't want their
00:29:37WWF Women's Champion
00:29:39to flaunt her body around.
00:29:41Now wait a minute.
00:29:43Think for yourself.
00:29:45They want their WWF Women's
00:29:47Champion to be pure
00:29:49and wholesome.
00:29:51Like me.
00:29:53Trish Stratus,
00:29:55you are nothing more than a cheater.
00:29:57And you know what happens
00:29:59to cheaters.
00:30:01Oh!
00:30:03What a cheap shot that was
00:30:05by Molly on Trish.
00:30:07Hit her right in the face
00:30:09with that microphone
00:30:11and now Dublin Trish outside.
00:30:13And Molly Holly showing
00:30:15some effort in terms of
00:30:17fighting back against Molly.
00:30:19But here comes the champion.
00:30:21Don't look, don't look.
00:30:23Wait a minute.
00:30:25Trish may have taken a front
00:30:27to her back with that shot.
00:30:29Molly just sent Trish for the
00:30:31right in those steel steps.
00:30:33And referee Charles Robinson
00:30:35has Molly seen Molly
00:30:37to leave with this one.
00:30:39Trish is starting out
00:30:41at a huge disadvantage.
00:30:43Oh.
00:30:45And this is a bad break for Trish.
00:30:47The cover, here we go.
00:30:49And Trish barely able to kick out.
00:30:51And this will make the academic
00:30:53because of this move right here.
00:30:55They are looking to do
00:30:57some serious damage to the puppies.
00:30:59Here we go.
00:31:01Trish trying to get underneath
00:31:03Jazz and does so.
00:31:05Boy, these two women have really
00:31:07hammered each other.
00:31:09We've seen the black eye
00:31:11that Trish delivered to Jazz
00:31:13a few weeks ago.
00:31:15She's a senior-based competitor.
00:31:17Mike Tyson better look at Jazz.
00:31:19Great athletic move there.
00:31:21Locked down by Trish Stratus.
00:31:23Trish is trying to fight
00:31:25through the pain that she's
00:31:27got to be countering here
00:31:29thanks to Molly Hawley.
00:31:31And it certainly has started
00:31:33Trish off at a disadvantage
00:31:35in this matchup.
00:31:37Oh, he got the big right hand.
00:31:39Right hand block.
00:31:41Trish counters with a forearm.
00:31:43Trish Stratus really
00:31:45is known as an in-ring
00:31:47competitor here in the WWF.
00:31:49Beautiful D-lock.
00:31:51The kick, the knockdown,
00:31:53the hook to the leg,
00:31:55and a near fall,
00:31:57and Trish Stratus taking it to Jazz.
00:31:59Trish missed with that one
00:32:01shit kick, but she's got to
00:32:03connect it with that second one.
00:32:05Trish wants it.
00:32:07She really wants it.
00:32:09She'd like to be champion too.
00:32:11Oh, look at this.
00:32:13You're dreaming again.
00:32:15A dangerous area
00:32:17of the ring here.
00:32:19Upside left.
00:32:21Leg strike, taking Jazz
00:32:23to the top turnbuckle down.
00:32:25Tremendous tenacity.
00:32:27I didn't know Trish's legs
00:32:29were that long.
00:32:31Taking it to Jazz here.
00:32:33Could be all here.
00:32:35Hook to the leg,
00:32:37and referee Robinson found
00:32:39a two count.
00:32:41Trish showing certainly
00:32:43no intimidation in trying
00:32:45to get a right shoulder.
00:32:47Molly had no business
00:32:49coming out here.
00:32:51The virtuous one.
00:32:53There we go.
00:32:55Oh, no.
00:32:57Oh!
00:32:59Referee's got a good look,
00:33:01and Trish able to get
00:33:03a right shoulder off the canvas.
00:33:05Jazz thought she had it,
00:33:07and Trish is showing
00:33:09tremendous heart
00:33:11and the will to win
00:33:13and regain the women's title
00:33:15in this match.
00:33:17Oh!
00:33:19Get off of her!
00:33:21Get off of her!
00:33:23Shut up, man!
00:33:25I don't care!
00:33:27Get off of her!
00:33:29One, two, three,
00:33:31four!
00:33:33Get off of her!
00:33:35She's one of those girls
00:33:37that doesn't even get
00:33:39pretty or close in time.
00:33:41Boy, she's tough, though,
00:33:43I'll tell you,
00:33:45and she's tough, too.
00:33:47Oh!
00:33:49Oh!
00:33:51Oh!
00:33:53Oh!
00:33:55Oh!
00:33:57Oh!
00:33:59Oh!
00:34:01Oh!
00:34:03Oh!
00:34:05Oh!
00:34:07Oh!
00:34:09Oh!
00:34:11Oh!
00:34:13Oh!
00:34:15I'm gonna have to teach you
00:34:17how to do the shoulders,
00:34:19just lower back,
00:34:20gotta be screaming in pain
00:34:22after sitting those steel steps
00:34:23earlier by Molly Holly.
00:34:25That's probably gonna teach
00:34:26some serious massaging.
00:34:28Maybe some sands.
00:34:29Legs, take down,
00:34:31nice move by Jazz.
00:34:34Oh, here we go.
00:34:36Well, this is a Boston crowd
00:34:38that not even lotion's
00:34:40gonna make doing any better.
00:34:42Get to that rope!
00:34:43That's her goal here, and now pulling Trish back out to the center of the ring.
00:34:49The step over cross face, the STL, that's a painful, a painful submission move.
00:34:56Trish is fighting for all she's got to get to the ropes.
00:35:00This has got to be excruciating.
00:35:02And Trish is having it.
00:35:04The winner of this bout, and still Women's Champion, Jazz!
00:35:15I'll tell you one thing, Jazz ought to take Molly Holly out to dinner,
00:35:19because I've got to believe that it was Molly Holly's pre-match interference and attack
00:35:25that cost Trish a fair opportunity to regain the Women's title here.
00:35:32Jazz, congratulations on the victory tonight, but do you think you would have been as successful
00:35:43as you were beating Trish Stratus if it wasn't for the interference by Molly Holly?
00:35:48Nice interview.
00:35:56I'd like to be able to say we've got no comments about Paul Heyman's actions last week on Raw King.
00:36:04That was one of the most, I want to go take a shower myself after seeing that sleazier than sleaze Paul Heyman
00:36:10going to Lita's locker room.
00:36:13I better not comment. I must admit, I'm fond of a thong or two in my day.
00:36:19But you're right, seeing Paul Heyman do it was sickening.
00:36:22Take a look at this last week on Raw.
00:36:25You know, Lita, I represent the next big thing, Brock Lesnar.
00:36:30And Brock, this Sunday at Backlash, can make it one of two ways.
00:36:38One way is to play nice with your boyfriend, Matt Hardy.
00:36:46The other is to play rough with your boyfriend, Matt Hardy.
00:36:53The choice, Lita, is yours. It all depends on how you want to play with me.
00:37:13Get out of my locker room now, Paul.
00:37:18You like to play rough?
00:37:27So do I.
00:37:29What a sick human being.
00:37:32Oh no, he's got her whole bag of thongs.
00:37:35I think Heyman has gotten Lita's travel bag.
00:37:39Oh look at that, he is hot.
00:37:42Oh my God, look, there's the monster himself, Brock Lesnar.
00:37:47No, what is Matt Hardy doing?
00:37:50Matt Hardy, the full head of steam.
00:37:52The former NCAA heavyweight champion taking down now, Matt Hardy.
00:37:58Brock Lesnar, oh my God, no.
00:38:00That's solid steel up there.
00:38:02Matt Hardy's face, his ribs, and Lesnar and Heyman running for the hills.
00:38:08And Lita with a look of shock on her face.
00:38:11We can see what Matt Hardy's limp.
00:38:13This is sad for Matt Hardy and it is damn sure sick of Lesnar and his agent, Paul Heyman.
00:38:25Tonight, tonight, tonight is your first official match.
00:38:30And you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
00:38:33I want the beating that you gave Matt Hardy to pale in comparison
00:38:38to the beating that I envision you giving Jeff Hardy.
00:38:42I want you to have no regret.
00:38:44I want you to have no remorse.
00:38:46I want you to remember that this is all Lita's fault.
00:38:50Lita wants to play rough.
00:38:51I want you to show Lita how rough you can play.
00:38:55And I want you to show the world that the next big thing is Brock Lesnar.
00:39:08Brock Lesnar.
00:39:29The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:39:32Introducing first, to be accompanied by Lita from Cumberland, North Carolina.
00:39:38Weighing 218 pounds, Jeff Hardy.
00:39:42We certainly want to wish a speedy recovery to Matt Hardy,
00:39:45who's at home in Cameron, North Carolina.
00:39:48Recovery from the injury sustained at the hands of Brock Lesnar last week.
00:39:53When Matt's doctor examined him, he thought he might have been in a car accident.
00:39:56He had bruises literally from the top of his head to his toes.
00:40:00Concussed.
00:40:07All thanks to this animal.
00:40:09To be accompanied to the ring by Paul Heyman from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
00:40:14Weighing 275 pounds, Brock Lesnar!
00:40:19Here they are.
00:40:20Paul Heyman, he's 11 years old.
00:40:23He's been the favorite of the CrossFit World Series since 2011.
00:40:27Hello.
00:40:28Chris Cronin.
00:40:29Hello.
00:40:30Matt Hardy.
00:40:31Hey, Jeff.
00:40:32How are you doing?
00:40:33Good.
00:40:34You sure?
00:40:35I'm really doing well.
00:40:36They are, Paul Heyman is, he's a legend in his own mouth,
00:40:40but I'm afraid that this time he's really got something.
00:40:42I'm afraid he really does have the next big thing here.
00:40:45This is Brock Lesnar's first official televised match
00:40:49and his agent, a pancake-sized fever blister
00:40:53on the lips of life, Paul Heyman on the outside
00:40:57and Jeff Hardy right in the face of Brock Lesnar.
00:41:00Lesnar's today in 6'3", maybe 6'4", close to 300 pounds.
00:41:04You can see the physique on this man.
00:41:08He was an NCAA heavyweight champion,
00:41:11an All-American at the University of Minnesota
00:41:13for wrestling coach Jay Robinson.
00:41:15And look at the great agility by Lesnar.
00:41:18And Jeff Hardy.
00:41:19Pretty good agility by Jeff Hardy.
00:41:21Uh-oh.
00:41:23The strength of Lesnar catching Jeff Hardy.
00:41:25And Hardy dismounted and ran Lesnar right into the ring post.
00:41:29That's what Jeff Hardy's going to have to do.
00:41:30He's going to have to stick and move.
00:41:31He's going to have to be quicker than Brock Lesnar.
00:41:34Oh, he's got cross-body.
00:41:36He'll be here.
00:41:37And look at the power of Lesnar.
00:41:38That's scary.
00:41:39That's body strength.
00:41:40And he's just manhandling Jeff Hardy.
00:41:44And Jeff Hardy's a former hardcore
00:41:46and a former Intercontinental champion,
00:41:47a four-time former tag team champion.
00:41:50Get out of the ring.
00:41:51You need to stay away, regroup.
00:41:53Lesnar could press a Volkswagen.
00:41:55You can't match strength with this guy.
00:41:57But King, more importantly, I think Lesnar's strength
00:41:59is that he has, without a doubt,
00:42:01a very pronounced and bona fide knee strike.
00:42:04Oh, I bet that hurt.
00:42:05That Roman throw right into the suplex by Brock Lesnar.
00:42:08You think that hurt me?
00:42:09And Lesnar is a scary, scary prospect.
00:42:12That's on your conscience.
00:42:14Crowd is standing looking at this guy.
00:42:17He's an awesome sight, believe me.
00:42:20This audience looking a little in awe of Brock Lesnar.
00:42:23And Paul Heyman, who has had a lot of success in a...
00:42:26Boom.
00:42:27Look at the strength he throws, Jeff.
00:42:29That's scary.
00:42:30And Jeff Hardy becoming to a point in this match
00:42:33where he's having a hard time breathing.
00:42:35You can tell he's gasping for air here.
00:42:38And every time he gets a breath of air in those lungs,
00:42:40it's knocked out of him again by Brock Lesnar.
00:42:45They come a point in this that, oh.
00:42:50Look at, oh my goodness.
00:42:51Lesnar's holding Jeff Hardy.
00:42:53Strength.
00:42:54The backbreaker driving that knee
00:42:56again into the kidneys.
00:42:59I've never seen anybody this strong
00:43:01impose his will on another human being in my career.
00:43:05Did you see Heyman?
00:43:06He just said that to you, Lita.
00:43:09If Lesnar's gonna break Jeff Hardy in half,
00:43:11I admire Jeff Hardy for coming to the defense
00:43:15of his own brother, who's also been
00:43:17debilitated by Lesnar.
00:43:18Yeah, but they are sometimes the old saying is right.
00:43:20The moon's rushed in.
00:43:22It may not have been the smartest thing to do.
00:43:24And as you hear Heyman yelling at Lita,
00:43:26this is all her fault, he's saying.
00:43:28And Lita kept Hardy showing great courage,
00:43:31trying to fight back.
00:43:32Jeff fighting back with everything.
00:43:34He's got every fiber in his being,
00:43:36but what an impact.
00:43:39I mean, that short Irish whip,
00:43:42the torque of that Irish whip was almost like
00:43:45it's like being rear-ended by a car,
00:43:47the whiplash effect.
00:43:48I think that Jeff may have just,
00:43:50he may have just made Brock Lesnar angry.
00:43:52There's not another human being in sports entertainment
00:43:55that can match up and overpower Brock Lesnar.
00:43:58On this day, I can tell you.
00:44:01And when he gets more experience,
00:44:03how deadly and how dangerous
00:44:05is this human being gonna be?
00:44:09And we're seeing his first official title match.
00:44:12I'm sure of many in this young man's future.
00:44:18And Jeff Hardy hits a good move.
00:44:20He's on the cover.
00:44:22Lesnar got taken off his feet,
00:44:24which is a rare occasion.
00:44:25For the first time, Lesnar is down.
00:44:28Come on, you gotta capitalize on this.
00:44:30Another shot, look at that.
00:44:32Lesnar down again.
00:44:33You know, the last time Vince and Jeff Hardy scored
00:44:36with the high wrist flicker,
00:44:37the daredevil, taking his chances.
00:44:40And that was a low blow there.
00:44:41This is the first time we're actually seeing
00:44:43pain on the face of Brock Lesnar.
00:44:45And now Jeff Hardy's got a chance.
00:44:47He's actually got a chance here.
00:44:49The low blow on Lesnar.
00:44:51He's gonna have a small time.
00:44:53He's gonna do it.
00:44:54He's gonna do it.
00:44:55Oh my God.
00:44:57People on their feet for this.
00:44:58The low blow of Jeff Hardy in show.
00:45:00Can't stop, you can't hesitate.
00:45:03He has to have the offensive.
00:45:06And now Jeff Hardy.
00:45:06Wait a minute, not that offensive.
00:45:08He's looking for some retribution for his brother.
00:45:11And we've seen this before.
00:45:13And Lesnar, look at the power of Jeff Hardy.
00:45:17Brock Lesnar's an animal.
00:45:18Oh no, look what's coming.
00:45:20Face first down goes.
00:45:23Jeff Hardy right on that chair.
00:45:24He's motionless.
00:45:27Don't hurt him.
00:45:30Hey, we just said Brock, don't hurt him.
00:45:35And Lesnar, you can tell with a glow in his eye.
00:45:38A twinkle in Lesnar's eye.
00:45:40He enjoys hurting people.
00:45:44You're right about him and he's a sick individual.
00:45:47Well, this is scary.
00:45:49A powerbomb.
00:45:50Oh my God.
00:45:54Brock Lesnar's gonna break this young man in half.
00:45:59Nothing would please Haven more
00:46:00than for Brock Lesnar to cripple Jeff Hardy here.
00:46:04The referee has got to use good judgment here, King.
00:46:07Pinfall or not, you gotta use good judgment
00:46:10in these situations.
00:46:11You've got an animal imposing his will
00:46:14on another human being that is absolutely defenseless.
00:46:18Oh, that's enough.
00:46:20We see two powerbombs and Lesnar
00:46:24even getting more momentum,
00:46:26drilling Jeff Hardy and Lesnar locks it.
00:46:28And the referee stops it, calling for the bell.
00:46:33I don't blame you.
00:46:34Ladies and gentlemen,
00:46:35the referee has stopped this contest
00:46:37and awards the decision to Brock Lesnar.
00:46:41First it was Matt Hardy,
00:46:43who's home recuperating from a Lesnar attack.
00:46:47And now it is Jeff Hardy and Lita looking on
00:46:51as helpless as she can.
00:46:53There's nothing she can do.
00:46:55And perhaps ladies and gentlemen,
00:46:57there's nothing anybody can do
00:47:00as it relates to Brock Lesnar.
00:47:05Who couldn't stop that thing?
00:47:07The next big thing.
00:47:10And the sad part about it is Lesnar's aging.
00:47:15Who?
00:47:16The word, who?
00:47:17Aging.
00:47:17It's Paul Heyman.
00:47:19And that's even more repulsive.
00:47:20Well, I can assure you as far as Heyman is concerned
00:47:22and as far as the world is concerned,
00:47:25you can't have a more impressive
00:47:27debut match here at the WWF.
00:47:29There may be a day and that day may be near.
00:47:32It may be here that Brock Lesnar is untouchable.
00:47:36Take a look at this again.
00:47:38Watch this chair was brought in the ring by Jeff.
00:47:40Oh.
00:47:43Brock Lesnar bouncing right off of it.
00:47:44But then, oh.
00:47:47He's powerbombed.
00:47:49Look at this, oh.
00:47:52Take a look at this.
00:47:53Watch Jeff Hardy's head here, folks.
00:47:54Watch it bounce.
00:47:57Oh, right off the canvas.
00:47:59And the referee right there stepped in
00:48:01and stopped this match.
00:48:02It may have been too little too late for Jeff Hardy.
00:48:05I don't know what kind of damage has been done to him.
00:48:07But Brock Lesnar is an awesome animal.
00:48:09And we are just moments away, ladies and gentlemen,
00:48:11from a tremendous one-on-one contest
00:48:14between two of the brightest young superstars
00:48:17in the World Wrestling Federation.
00:48:18They are the SmackDown brand.
00:48:21And certainly, there is no lack of confidence
00:48:24when it comes to Kurt Angle.
00:48:27In the Olympics, I beat Russians and Iranians
00:48:31a heck of a lot tougher than Nikolai Volkov
00:48:35and the Iron Freak and Sheik.
00:48:37I am better than anyone on Raw or SmackDown.
00:48:41Angle and Edge.
00:48:42Oh, the execution.
00:48:43The execution on Angle.
00:48:45I'm gonna win.
00:48:46Wait a minute, Kurt Edge has beaten Angle.
00:48:48Big, big opportunity here for Edge.
00:48:51Edge has this match-up won.
00:48:53Oh, but there is Kurt Angle.
00:48:55And Kurt Angle with a clothesline.
00:48:57Angle slammed by Kurt Angle.
00:48:59Kurt Angle has screwed Edge, that sore sport Olympian.
00:49:03And there's Edge.
00:49:04And Edge in hot pursuit of Angle.
00:49:06Edge and Kurt Angle battling in the backstage area.
00:49:09Angle slam.
00:49:10The Angle slam on the concrete.
00:49:12I got a feeling it's not gonna be the last time
00:49:13these two guys want to tear each other apart.
00:49:18Kurt, I know we've had our problems lately.
00:49:20Well, the more I've been thinking about it,
00:49:21the more I feel bad.
00:49:23What?
00:49:24Well, we used to be really tight.
00:49:26I mean, really good friends.
00:49:27We used to have a lot of fun.
00:49:29But now, we've got a lot of problems.
00:49:31I mean, we've got a lot of problems.
00:49:32We used to be really tight.
00:49:33I mean, really good friends.
00:49:36Yeah, we were.
00:49:36So what?
00:49:37Well, I was going through my attic the other day.
00:49:39Look what I found.
00:49:40I found these pictures.
00:49:41Check it out.
00:49:42Oh, this is cool.
00:49:43That's us.
00:49:44That's you and me together.
00:49:45Oh, this is so cool.
00:49:46Yeah.
00:49:47I tell you what, I hope these cheer you up.
00:49:48Oh, they have.
00:49:49See you out there later tonight, okay?
00:49:51Oh yeah, oh yeah.
00:49:52That Edge, he's okay.
00:49:54I really like the guy.
00:49:55Oh.
00:50:02Son of a.
00:50:04Kurt Angle not happy, embarrassed, and humiliated
00:50:07by a, well, a rather sarcastic Edge.
00:50:10If there's one thing I can't stand,
00:50:12it's a loud mouthed Canadian with long blonde hair
00:50:16who dresses like a rock star.
00:50:18Kurt, Kurt, Kurt.
00:50:19Maybe you and I can settle some unfinished business
00:50:22at Backlash.
00:50:23You want a shot at me, you snot-nosed punk?
00:50:26It'll be my honor to kick your ass.
00:50:30Edge and Kurt Angle will meet one-on-one
00:50:34at Backlash, once very good friends,
00:50:37now bitter competitors.
00:50:38Two young lions going at it.
00:50:40A lot of pressure, a lot at stake
00:50:42for these young superstars.
00:50:43Will Edge grab the opportunity?
00:50:45Will he run with the ball?
00:50:47He's drunk.
00:50:49He's drunk.
00:50:52He's drunk.
00:50:54He's drunk.
00:50:56He's drunk.
00:50:58He's drunk.
00:50:59He's drunk.
00:51:01He's drunk.
00:51:03A new world, a new era.
00:51:05This is a new day, let's go.
00:51:09Oh, I hope you are enjoying this.
00:51:11I don't want to be the only one to win.
00:51:13But in the name of the Wind,
00:51:16The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:51:20Entering the ring from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
00:51:23weighing 237 pounds, Kurt Angle!
00:51:29Kurt Angle, the 1996 Olympic gold medal winner,
00:51:32former king of the ring,
00:51:34former WWF Intercontinental European and hardcore champion.
00:51:39He has done it all quicker than anyone in the history
00:51:43of the World Wrestling Federation.
00:51:45No mistakes allowed.
00:51:54From Kowloon, Korea,
00:51:56coming up, weighing 242 pounds,
00:52:00Edge!
00:52:02Another young competitor in his 20s
00:52:04here at the World Wrestling Federation,
00:52:06Edge, from Toronto,
00:52:08four-time Intercontinental champion,
00:52:10a seven-time king,
00:52:12tag team champion.
00:52:14He's never been an Olympic champion.
00:52:17That man has.
00:52:20And for being an Olympic champion,
00:52:22he deserves respect.
00:52:25I can't believe our own United States fan
00:52:27here in Kansas City would
00:52:29say such disparaging remarks about Kurt Angle.
00:52:33I'm sure fans around the world are concurring.
00:52:37Eventually, over 150 countries will see backlash here
00:52:41in a variety of ways,
00:52:42and many of them watching us live tonight
00:52:43want to thank our fans in the U.K.
00:52:45for staying up late and watching Backlash tonight
00:52:47live on Sky Box Office.
00:52:50Now, did you think that was funny,
00:52:51that little prank,
00:52:53the little stunt that Edge tried to pull there,
00:52:55embarrassing Kurt?
00:52:56You thought that was funny, didn't you, sir?
00:52:58I thought it was pretty ingenious, actually.
00:52:59Well, why didn't you laugh that time
00:53:00when I was sitting down here
00:53:01and I had that apple stew with you, sir?
00:53:03You didn't like that.
00:53:05I don't remember that.
00:53:06That's when you were working with Michael Bolton.
00:53:08Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:53:09Well, he didn't like it.
00:53:11Great athleticism by Edge.
00:53:14Edge and Kurt Angle,
00:53:16both coming off significant victories
00:53:18last month at WrestleMania.
00:53:21Angle defeating Kane,
00:53:23Edge defeating Booker T in Toronto
00:53:26at WrestleMania.
00:53:29Oh, man, and a hard shot by Angle,
00:53:32catching Edge, coming in,

00:53:55Edge with a full head of steam
00:53:56and a full head of nappy hair.

00:54:03He needs a haircut or something?
00:54:05Look at it.

01:15:04From Saddle Creek, Michigan, weighing 230 pounds, the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental
01:15:05Champion...
01:15:06Goral Murphy!
01:15:07It's hard to believe that in spite of the denominator between these two great, talented
01:15:10athletes, there's probably a lot of things they have in common.
01:15:23But the raw strength of the tienen...
01:15:25is a point of contention as far as the challenger, Eddie Guerrero, is concerned.
01:15:30Well, let me ask you this question, JR, be perfectly honest, be truthful.
01:15:34Who was the first person here in the WWF you ever saw do the Frog Splash?
01:15:39That'd be D'Lo Brown.
01:15:41What?
01:15:43He said he probably identified the second person.
01:15:46That would be Eddie Guerrero.
01:15:48Okay, so there you go.
01:15:50Rob Van Dam copied it from Eddie Guerrero.
01:15:53That's your story. That's Eddie Guerrero's story.
01:15:56Oh, there you go!
01:15:58I've been waiting to see that for a long time.
01:16:00This should be a great match right here.
01:16:01RVD defending his Intercontinental title against Eddie Guerrero.
01:16:04Guerrero just has returned to WWF less than about a month ago.
01:16:09This match is gonna be lightning quick, JR.
01:16:12Van Dam is such an unorthodox, unique offensive competitor.
01:16:19Oh, what a great young, shining star on RAW every week.
01:16:23Punching Flip Guerrero completely across the ring.
01:16:26Nice heel kick by RVD.
01:16:28Looking for the cover here.
01:16:29And Van Dam got a near fall on his challenger, Eddie Guerrero.
01:16:33He's gonna beat Eddie Guerrero that quick.
01:16:35Look at that little move, all those educated feet.
01:16:38Nice legless takedown by Eddie Guerrero.
01:16:41Torquing that knee as he did of Rob Van Dam.
01:16:45And now Guerrero goes fist to the face, also a shot to the knee.
01:16:49And you gotta wonder what that legless takedown, the torque of it,
01:16:53did to the leg of Rob Van Dam.
01:16:56Well, you know that Eddie Guerrero, he's read Van Dam books himself,
01:17:00and he hears you talking about those educated feet he's ready for.
01:17:06Face lock.
01:17:07Flip Guerrero trying to find out how to force this Van Dam back into the corner.
01:17:11And this match is the Intercontinental Championship.
01:17:13Live, right back, nice in Kansas City.
01:17:15Wherever you are around the world, we thank you very much
01:17:18for inviting us into your home once again
01:17:20as Eddie Guerrero is inviting his foot into the face of Rob Van Dam.
01:17:24And, man, wearing Van Dam out.
01:17:27Guerrero, a former European and Intercontinental Champion
01:17:31here in the World Wrestling Federation.
01:17:32And that shot right to the ribs.
01:17:34Another one.
01:17:35Well, we saw Tajiri use his feet expertly.
01:17:39And over here in another near fall
01:17:42as Van Dam comes at you in so many different ways,
01:17:45so many different angles.
01:17:47He's hard to predict.
01:17:48He's hard to scout.
01:17:49He's hard to defend.
01:17:54And Guerrero barely gonna push those shoulders off the canvas there.
01:18:02Warm shots to the side of the head by Rob Van Dam.
01:18:06And Van Dam reaching in, trying to get some leverage.
01:18:08And does so.
01:18:10And, oh, what a suplex.
01:18:11The float over in one movement.
01:18:13And got another near fall.
01:18:14Well, that was a float over.
01:18:17RVD, number four draft pick in the grand extension draft
01:18:21by Ric Flair on RAW.
01:18:23Van Dam up quickly, and Eddie Guerrero up just as quickly
01:18:27to counter Van Dam, who finds himself in a rather...
01:18:31Well, he ain't sitting on a lazy boy.
01:18:33Big.
01:18:37Great right hand by Guerrero.
01:18:40Eddie Guerrero is certainly a...
01:18:42Van Dam both have got to be considered
01:18:44in the top five competitors in the entire world.
01:18:47They certainly are in my book.
01:18:53Oh!
01:18:54Oh!
01:18:55Van Dam.
01:18:57That was a unique counter.
01:18:59Van Dam went to the outside,
01:19:00but Guerrero got hung up over the top rope.
01:19:02Van Dam did that intentionally.
01:19:04He pulled a...
01:19:05Oh, my God!
01:19:06He hit that right down across that rope.
01:19:08Now...
01:19:09Yeah!
01:19:10Van Dam lifting a little bit from that attack earlier
01:19:13by Guerrero.
01:19:14And now Van Dam...
01:19:16Look at that!
01:19:17Top five version of his Rolling Thunder.
01:19:19And gone!
01:19:20Got a near fall there.
01:19:21Guerrero able to kick out.
01:19:24Man, this match is a certainly nonstop offense.
01:19:27These guys have...
01:19:28Inside cradle!
01:19:30Certainly not stopped to exploit a body part.
01:19:32That's...
01:19:33That's for darn sure.
01:19:34It's just been offense after offense here.
01:19:37Oh, there you go.
01:19:38Nice roll up.
01:19:39Guerrero the roll up.
01:19:40Got him!
01:19:41Looking for the time and got a near fall there.
01:19:43Van Dam uses his leg strength to power out of it.
01:19:48Van Dam scoring with that baseball slide.
01:19:54Van Dam.
01:19:55Oh!
01:19:56Van Dam that...
01:19:58Moonsault-like maneuver from the apron to the outside.
01:20:01Van Dam puts his own body through about as much risk
01:20:04as he puts his opponent through.
01:20:06Come on!
01:20:07Gotta make one of those martial arts moves.
01:20:13People kicking each other.
01:20:14This is one of those scorpion games.
01:20:16I'll tell you that.
01:20:175...
01:20:188...
01:20:197...
01:20:20Oh, no!
01:20:22Van Dam scoring.
01:20:23Can you hear the impact?
01:20:24Van Dam holding that knee again.
01:20:27Oh, Latino Heat!
01:20:28And Guerrero kind of looking around to make sure
01:20:31all his attachments are still there.
01:20:37I think Latino Heat is missing the...
01:20:39He's a mamacita at ringside.
01:20:41Cover!
01:20:43Van Dam locked the hands
01:20:44and Guerrero able to kick out.
01:20:49Oh!
01:20:50Van Dam attempting the roll up.
01:20:52Van Dam attempting the rolling thunder
01:20:54for the second time,
01:20:55and Guerrero seems ready for it.
01:20:58Gets his knees up,
01:20:59dribbling to the lower back of RBD.
01:21:07Oh!
01:21:09Build-a-whirl backbreaker
01:21:10applied very nicely by Eddie Guerrero.
01:21:13Again, using that lower back there.
01:21:16Look at the hair.
01:21:19Guerrero with a handful of hair.
01:21:23And referee Tim White says,
01:21:25compete on and...
01:21:26Oh!
01:21:27...hard suplex by Guerrero.
01:21:28That could be it right there.
01:21:29Guerrero got the high cover
01:21:31on Van Dam's face
01:21:32and now going right back to that lower back.
01:21:38Guerrero delivered that...
01:21:40delivered the goods on that suplex
01:21:42and then goes right back to work
01:21:43on the lower back of RBD.
01:21:47That dropped to hold.
01:21:49Oh, watch this.
01:21:52This could be good.
01:21:57Guerrero.
01:21:59He got him.
01:22:00Yeah, look at this.
01:22:02Here we go.
01:22:03Here we go.
01:22:04No, no.
01:22:05Surge forward lock maneuver
01:22:06here by Eddie Guerrero.
01:22:08And now look at him bending
01:22:10Van Dam backwards.
01:22:12Come on, Van Dam.
01:22:13Make him up here.
01:22:14This could be a...
01:22:15It is a submission move,
01:22:16to say the least.
01:22:17And now look at the face lock applied.
01:22:19I don't see any way out of this.
01:22:20And we've often talked about Van Dam's flexibility,
01:22:24but his back has been in a very unnatural position here.
01:22:30And as fans start to get into this thing,
01:22:32Van Dam may be...
01:22:35he may be on his way out of this business.
01:22:39The business of this Intercontinental title match
01:22:41probably fights his way out of it,
01:22:43but the lower back has got to be
01:22:45really giving Van Dam some problems here.
01:22:50Guerrero, a veteran,
01:22:52has been around this industry since he was a baby.
01:22:58Yeah, well, he's starting to assert himself here.
01:23:02Magnificent maneuver here by Guerrero
01:23:04against stretching Van Dam
01:23:06and putting the pressure on the lower back
01:23:09of the Intercontinental champion.
01:23:11And it's like RVD is on a rack of some kind there.
01:23:17Van Dam shaking his head no.
01:23:20Assuming he's answered Jim White's question.
01:23:22He wouldn't give up when the answer is no,
01:23:24but Van Dam with a roll-up.
01:23:27Well, sunset flip there, and Van Dam got an earful.
01:23:30Guerrero beating Van Dam to his feet.
01:23:33Van Dam still hurting.
01:23:35It is a good thing that RVD is as flexible as he is,
01:23:37or he'd be broken in half by now.
01:23:39Eddie Guerrero is trying every trick in the book
01:23:42to put pressure on that lower back
01:23:44and that spinal area of Rob Van Dam.
01:23:47Van Dam won the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania,
01:23:50becoming one of only five superstars
01:23:52in the history of this company
01:23:54to win the Intercontinental title at that event.
01:23:57That includes Ricky Steamboat, Rick Rude,
01:24:00the Hitman Hart, Christian Waltz.
01:24:02Van Dam joins some pretty elite company.
01:24:08Eddie over the top.
01:24:10His body is a battering ram,
01:24:12and the cover of a near fall.
01:24:14And Van Dam using maybe all the strength
01:24:16that he's got left, King, just to kick out.
01:24:18And you can see the look on Van Dam's face.
01:24:20He is really hurting in that lower back area.
01:24:23RVD! RVD!
01:24:26He got a muscular attack on the lower back.
01:24:28That's bad enough.
01:24:30You don't know what kind of damage
01:24:31you're doing to your kidneys.
01:24:33And again, just hammering on more than one occasion.
01:24:36And look at the agility of Eddie Guerrero.
01:24:38Right off the top of the hurricanrana.
01:24:41Not one wasted motion, not one mistake,
01:24:45and Van Dam shooting that right shoulder off the canvas.
01:24:51But Van Dam not able to get back up.
01:24:53He's pulled up by Eddie Guerrero.
01:24:55I can't, I gotta believe that Van Dam can't,
01:24:58he can't believe all of these maneuvers
01:25:00that Eddie Guerrero is using on him.
01:25:03And again, the suplexes by Guerrero.
01:25:06Dropping Van Dam on his back.
01:25:08Guerrero holding on.
01:25:09These are like pages out of Van Dam's own book.
01:25:11Another suplex by Guerrero.
01:25:13Again, impacting the lower back of Van Dam.
01:25:16And now Guerrero, lateral press.
01:25:18Forearm to the face.
01:25:19But again, Van Dam gets his right shoulder off the canvas.
01:25:24And Guerrero is just relentless here.
01:25:28Uh oh, here we go.
01:25:29We saw Jeff Hardy lose a match tonight.
01:25:32When the referee stopped him.
01:25:34The referee might want to think about stopping this.
01:25:36He's feeling froggy.
01:25:38He think he's gonna jump.
01:25:41I'll tell you what, if Eddie Guerrero hits this,
01:25:43you know what I'm gonna say, it's over.
01:25:45He promised he would win it with the frog kick.
01:25:47And Van Dam, with an adrenaline rush,
01:25:49gets up, scoring those kicks
01:25:51right to the head of Eddie Guerrero,
01:25:53who was about a step away
01:25:56from trying to execute the five-star.
01:26:01I don't think Eddie Guerrero
01:26:02causes the five-star, does he?
01:26:05Oh man.
01:26:07Oh, that's gotta be it.
01:26:08It's over.
01:26:11Man, that was some impact.
01:26:12What an amazing offensive maneuver there
01:26:14by Eddie Guerrero, again,
01:26:16driving the air out of Van Dam.
01:26:18That should have been enough to beat anybody.
01:26:20See that Van Dam, that lower back.
01:26:23That'll be just...
01:26:24Watch and listen.
01:26:27That is snug, I'll tell you.
01:26:30And now Van Dam,
01:26:33Van Dam's got a bunch of some offense here.
01:26:37As resilient as he is, as flexible as he is,
01:26:39Van Dam cannot survive this much longer.
01:26:42You just gotta believe.
01:26:43Uh-oh.
01:26:47Oh!
01:26:48Van Dam's step-over kick.
01:26:50Scoring against Eddie Guerrero.
01:26:53And Guerrero rolling to the outside
01:26:54right in front of us here.
01:26:56Guerrero's providing himself some ground.
01:26:59Wait a minute.
01:27:00Guerrero now with the Intercontinental title.
01:27:02He can't win the title that way, Eddie.
01:27:04And Eddie knows that as well as anybody.
01:27:07Eddie's been around the block a time or two.
01:27:08But he's got that Van Dam's belt.
01:27:10And oh!
01:27:11Van Dam inadvertently nailed referee Tim White.
01:27:15And...
01:27:16Oh!
01:27:17Right on that championship belt.
01:27:20Guerrero just planted Van Dam with a neck breaker
01:27:23right on the Intercontinental title belt.
01:27:26Referee shaking it loose.
01:27:28Guerrero with a look of confidence on his face.
01:27:30Guerrero up on top.
01:27:32Look at Van Dam's positioning.
01:27:34Here he comes!
01:27:35Can Eddie Guerrero even reach him?
01:27:37Wrong way!
01:27:39What a hit!
01:27:40What impact!
01:27:41What impact!
01:27:43And Eddie Guerrero has just defeated RBD!
01:27:46What a shot!
01:27:47The winner of this bout and new
01:27:49Intercontinental Champion,
01:27:52Eddie Guerrero!
01:27:54Latino Heat!
01:27:55Oh man!
01:27:57Certainly dubious use of the Intercontinental title belt.
01:28:03Contributing to the downfall of Ron Van Dam.
01:28:06Not to take anything away from Eddie Guerrero's ability
01:28:09but King Boba Fett is at that head pressure
01:28:11on the Intercontinental title belt.
01:28:14It's what really took the storks out of RBD
01:28:17and then the Frog Splash
01:28:19that just took the cherry on the sundae.
01:28:21Oh look at Latino Heat!
01:28:23He is celebrating!
01:28:26Let's check it out one more time.
01:28:27What a thing of beauty!
01:28:28The real Frog Splash!
01:28:29Wow!
01:28:30Nobody does it better!
01:28:33Guerrero's rock hard body
01:28:35driving the air.
01:28:37Boom!
01:28:39Help us RBD!
01:28:41And Eddie Guerrero is the new
01:28:43Intercontinental Champion!
01:28:45King, I had the privilege of seeing the
01:28:47premiere of The Rock's movie The Scorpion King
01:28:49last Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
01:28:51It is a phenomenal movie.
01:28:52I'm going to go see it again this week.
01:28:54And it is already in the record books.
01:28:56It's the highest grossing movie opening
01:28:59in the month of April
01:29:00in the history of motion pictures.
01:29:02Over 36 million dollars in one weekend!
01:29:06Unbelievable!
01:29:07The WWF fans certainly deserve a pat on the back
01:29:09for making The Scorpion King
