00:00He threw me for a flip last one, I ain't happy about it.
00:06Don't worry, he's gonna get his payback tonight, B-Ry.
00:082-1-1, he doesn't stand a chance.
00:10You're goddamn right.
00:11Damn right.
00:12Debra!
00:13What?
00:14Debra!
00:15What?
00:16I'm trying to go over this match with Triple H, I'd appreciate it if you'd get me some
00:19water.
00:20Don't get me no coffee, we know what happens when you do that.
00:22Please get me some water, we're talking strategy here.
00:24Hey, you know what?
00:25I'd like one too.
00:26Make sure it's cold too.
00:27Oh, cold water for you?
00:28Yeah.
00:29Hey, Rico, I would love some tea.
00:31Some um, chamomile tea with lemon and one lump of sugar.
00:35Oh, just one lump of sugar.
00:37But you know what?
00:39I am not y'all's errand girl.
00:42And I think you need to stop and think about the match tonight.
00:45Because if you notice, the Undertagger did not back out of this handicap match.
00:50So I think all three of you guys need to worry about that.
00:54And not telling me to go do errands, because I'm not an errand girl.
01:00What's the matter?
01:01She's all uptight.
01:02You think Undertaker's got a chance against us?
01:03We'll kill him.
01:04Well, Debra throwing a snit, but still to come in on Stone Cold, Triple H for the WWF
01:13title on the line against The Undertaker.
01:15The Undertaker, who had everything in hand, had everything in hand on SmackDown against
01:21Stone Cold and Triple H for the WWF title tonight.
01:24But coming up next, the Queen's Cup is on the line.
01:27Chris Jericho, Commissioner Regal, the extension of what has been a fierce, fierce rivalry.
01:32No doubt.
01:33Welcome to the first official day of the Regal Regime.
01:38Good God, Regal, would you please shut the hell up?
01:45You listen to me, sunshine.
01:46I will not have a little tall rock like you come out here and besmirch me.
01:51And now Regal has made this match.
01:53Jericho versus entire Right to Censor.
01:55This is nothing more than punishment.
01:57It's a match set up by Commissioner Regal.
01:59Handicap table match.
02:01Doublies and Y2J.
02:03Here's the 3D!
02:043D!
02:05You cannot besmirch, soil the Commissioner's team.
02:10Don't think for one moment, Chris Jericho, you are getting away lightly.
02:14Oh no.
02:15Because you will face me, your Commissioner, William Regal, in a Duchess of Queensbury
02:21Rules match.
02:22I have no clue what the Duchess of Queensbury Rules are.
02:26No one seems to know it all except William Regal, of course.
02:29Nobody knows more about Duchesses and Queens than William Regal.
02:34But Regal, it's good that you know your history.
02:37Because on Sunday at Backlash, I'm gonna get medieval on your ass.
02:44And Paul, as we headed into Backlash, we still had no idea what the Duchess of Queensbury
02:49Rules were.
02:50I'm a big fan of the Duchess.
02:52And your Ladyship, it's an honor to be in your country.
02:55Well, it was Chris Jericho versus William Regal at Backlash.
02:58There you see the Duchess of Queensbury, who would prove to have a very major role in this match.
03:04Well, she's a beautiful lady.
03:05And here you see the first time Y2J broke the rule.
03:10Because as we learned, there are no submissions in a Duchess of Queensbury Rules match.
03:16Chris Jericho in total control.
03:18In fact, the embarrassment of William Regal.
03:22And then Y2J assaulting the Duchess.
03:26One of the worst days in the history of sports entertainment.
03:30But the commissioner, the physical commissioner beats down on Y2J.
03:36That was an international incident.
03:38Because earlier on in the matchup, the Duchess said disqualifications were thrown out.
03:42It was a no disqualification matchup.
03:44Regal picked up the victory.
03:46Regal picked up the victory.
03:47But then on Raw, my God.
03:50Y2J wore the physical commissioner out with a metal garbage can.
03:56Wham, wham.
03:57Never letting up.
03:59Y2J assaulted and besmirched the commissioner.
04:14Here it is, Paul Heyman.
04:16The Queens Cup.
04:18It will be on the line tonight when Regal takes on Chris Jericho.
04:22And from what I understand, that is an extremely priceless trophy.
04:26Look at that beautiful, beautiful treasure.
04:35The following is the first ever Queens Cup match.
04:40Introducing first, from Blackpool, England, weighing in at 240 pounds.
04:46United Kingdom Goodwill Ambassador, Commissioner Regal.
04:52Not the reception Commissioner Regal was expecting.
04:55Paul Heyman, you told me earlier on, you thought the commissioner was going to get cheered out of the building.
05:00Obviously I thought these commenters had class.
05:03And obviously I've been proven wrong.
05:05So I stand corrected.
05:07Those in the UK have no class.
05:10These people in the UK have some class.
05:13Because they understand that Commissioner Regal, in the words of many, is extremely corrupt.
05:18He's in the back pocket of Mr. McMahon.
05:20No, no, no, no, no.
05:21Nobody's in the back pocket of Mr. McMahon.
05:23He's a physical commissioner.
05:25There's the Queens Cup.
05:27He's a wonderful gentleman.
05:29And maybe these people ought to go to class and learn about some respect.
05:36So William Regal...
05:37I'm talking here.
05:39Look at the innocent smile on the face of Mr. Regal.
05:42It looks like a sneer.
05:44Because here comes his opponent.
05:46A sneer, like an innocent smile, in my book.
05:50Jericho!
06:10You know what amazes me about Jericho?
06:13What?
06:14His international popularity.
06:17Here he is in Regal's home country, yet everyone is on their feet for Y2J.
06:25This guy is truly an international superstar.
06:31Chris Jericho, William Regal for the prestigious Queens Cup.
06:36Here tonight on Skybox office at Insurrection.
06:40And these fans are still on their feet, Paul, for Chris Jericho.
06:45No doubt, Y2J picks up more popularity as every day goes by.
06:51But once he steps into the ring and the bell rings,
06:55he has to fight the physical commissioner, William Regal,
07:00in Earl's court and Regal's home court.
07:04Chris Jericho is a lone wolf.
07:06He's a vigilante battling against, in his words,
07:10a corrupt commissioner here in the World Wrestling Federation.
07:17William Regal staring as opponent Chris Jericho.
07:20And as you saw earlier on, a storied history
07:24ever since William Regal made his debut in the World Wrestling Federation,
07:28these two men have been at each other's throats.
07:30If for nothing else, you think these people would have the common sense
07:34to back the commissioner who's looking to avenge
07:38the besmirchment of the Duchess.
07:42The Duchess of Queensbury match a week ago at Backlash
07:45didn't go Chris Jericho's way, thanks to Commissioner Regal's adjusting of the rules.
07:50And Chris Jericho takes the early advantage in this matchup.
07:53Regal, tremendous wrestler as well,
07:55tried to pop out of that when Jericho takes control.
07:59Two various styles, contrasting styles in this match.
08:03Oh, a big difference between these two styles.
08:05But right now, the European style being employed by Regal and Jericho,
08:10always the cheater with a closed right hand.
08:14Commissioner Regal was brought up in Blackpool, England,
08:17brought up fighting down in the docks of the shore.
08:20He's a tough individual.
08:21Chris Jericho, on the other hand, likes to be a high flyer,
08:24likes to use his quickness in the ring.
08:26William Regal likes to work on the mat.
08:29Well, he owns the mat.
08:31I mean, William Regal's a master of the mat.
08:33Jericho now, wide separation of the leg,
08:36applying the pressure, going behind with a hammer-on.
08:40Still to come tonight, handicap matchup,
08:42Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H,
08:45the WWF title on the line.
08:49The one match that Linda McMahon did not change,
08:52an insurrection tonight.
08:56Jericho to his feet.
08:57Jericho on the top rope.
09:01A shot across the head of Regal,
09:03and the commissioner's reeling.
09:06Here's Jericho.
09:07Baseball slide, Regal rolls out of the way,
09:10and Jericho with his quickness ducks under the right hand.
09:13What I like about these chops,
09:14it doesn't just give the fans an excuse to chant,
09:17but it does, and it takes the breath right out of you.
09:20It hurts the stomach.
09:21It affects you for the rest of the fight.
09:24That'll take your breath out of you as well.
09:26Rip cage out of that barricade,
09:28and now Jericho is in control.
09:30And another chop.
09:31Who delivers a harder chop for the World Wrestling Federation,
09:34Jericho or Benoit?
09:36Linda McMahon,
09:37because she busts her husband's chops,
09:39and now we have a whole different card tonight.
09:41Oh, look at Jericho, rolls into the covers,
09:43got the leg, no, kick out.
09:45And I gotta admit,
09:46Linda McMahon put together one hell of a card.
09:49She really did.
09:50It's been a tremendous insurrection.
09:52In fact, fans, we're coming back to the UK in November.
09:56Tickets go on sale Friday, May 11th,
09:58for Rebellion in Manchester.
10:01Oh, look at this, up over the top.
10:03Regal trying to roll him over.
10:04Jericho, look at this.
10:07Chris Jericho putting on a display early on.
10:12Jericho trying to get Regal into the walls of Jericho.
10:15Regal counter.
10:17Whether you like Regal as commissioner or not,
10:19he is a tremendous wrestler.
10:21Oh, no doubt,
10:22and now the physical commissioner has Y2J
10:25exactly where he wants him.
10:28Y2J, Chris Jericho,
10:31into that steel post,
10:32and Commissioner Regal slowly taking advantage.
10:36And Regal's the type of superstar
10:38who will wear you down in the center of the ring.
10:42Oh, no doubt,
10:43Regal wants you down in the middle of the ring.
10:45She can't reach the rope to be advised of Regal's strength.
10:48And remember,
10:49this is all for the prestigious Queen's Cup.
10:52That's what they're battling for here in London,
10:55and there it is.
10:56And take that thing down to the Bronx in New York City,
10:59melt it down, and sell it for about a million dollars.
11:02Only you would think about that.
11:05I'm money-oriented.
11:07Ask anybody, they'll tell you.
11:09Paul, let me ask you a question, seriously.
11:11What else would you ask me?
11:12Commissioner Regal,
11:13it says his job as commissioner
11:15thus far in the World Wrestling Federation.
11:17I think Commissioner Regal is the finest commissioner
11:19the World Wrestling Federation has ever seen.
11:21Look at the bruise on Regal's leg.
11:24Look at the bruise on his thigh.
11:27You talk about a charley horse.
11:29I'm impressed that the man is still standing.
11:32And I don't think there's ever been a commissioner
11:34that can back it up like William Regal.
11:37Well, of course he can back it up.
11:38He's got Mr. McMahon in his corner.
11:40He's got Triple H in his corner.
11:41He's got Stone Cold Steve Austin in his corner.
11:43He's got Stephanie in his corner.
11:45Do I have to go on and on and on and on?
11:46Yes, you have to go on and on and on and on.
11:48Because the fact of the matter is,
11:49he's out there by himself tonight,
11:51and the commissioner is against Y2Joe!
11:54Jericho with the head scissors!
11:57And Jericho into the cover!
11:59He could win the Queens Cup!
12:01And a kickout by Regal.
12:02I'm impressed that Regal kicked out.
12:04Jericho drove Regal's head right into the canvas.
12:07Right into the mat.
12:09Yet Regal with the presence of mind
12:11to get the shoulder up before three.
12:15Jericho misses right hand.
12:16Here's Regal.
12:17Jericho went for the dropkick,
12:18and Regal with the counter,
12:19and now the slingshot,
12:20and Jericho's in trouble.
12:23And Regal, oh, man.
12:26Jericho right on his head.
12:30And now the wave to Regal.
12:31Good evening, sir.
12:32How are you?
12:33To his fellow countrymen,
12:34greeted with a boo.
12:37They're not saying boo.
12:38They're saying Regal.
12:40Regal.
12:41Regal.
12:44Let's take another look again.
12:45And watch Jericho.
12:46Watch the impact right on the top of his head.
12:49Jericho trying to protect himself,
12:50but there was no way.
12:52There's too much momentum going down.
12:54Regal now, even with a bruised thigh,
12:57driving both of those knees
13:00into the head of Chris Jericho.
13:03But shouldn't your good commissioner
13:04be worried about the attack on Jericho
13:06instead of waving to this crowd here at Earl's Court?
13:09You're the type of guy
13:10that would go down to the stadium
13:12and tell the ballplayers how to swing at the ball.
13:14This is his home court.
13:16The commissioner knows exactly what he's doing.
13:18Or perhaps he's just trying to win these fans over
13:20here in London.
13:21I don't think he truly cares about it.
13:24The chin lock now being applied to Chris Jericho.
13:27And Jericho's in trouble.
13:28He's trying to build momentum,
13:30but that shot to the head took a lot out of him.
13:32No doubt, and Regal is truly capitalizing
13:35on the momentum right now,
13:37wearing Y2J down.
13:39And Jericho is in a bad, bad way here.
13:44We talked about that handicap match
13:45coming up next, Paul.
13:46Earlier on, we saw Triple H and Stephanie
13:48extremely confident.
13:49But did Stone Cold and Triple H
13:52look a little less confident
13:53just a few moments ago?
13:55No, sir. No, sir.
13:57Well, Linda McMahon said The Undertaker
13:58wants this handicap match.
14:00Ah.
14:01Linda McMahon married Mr. McMahon,
14:03and from there, it's been all downhill
14:05for Linda McMahon.
14:06And now she's trying to use
14:09the billion-dollar corporation
14:11as leverage.
14:12Wait. Are you disparaging Mr. McMahon?
14:14No, I'm disparaging Linda McMahon.
14:15But all downhill?
14:16You said it was downhill for Mr. McMahon.
14:18For Mr. McMahon. You're right.
14:19Oh, wait a minute. Cover by Regal.
14:20There's one. There's two.
14:21And a kickout.
14:22Don't knock the boss.
14:23I'm not knocking Mr. McMahon at all.
14:25Good. Then you'll agree with me.
14:27He's just had some problems
14:28as of late with his wife.
14:30Regal misses. Look out.
14:32Elbow to the face.
14:34Hi, William Regal.
14:36The Queen's Cup is on the line.
14:38Look at the grace.
14:39Look at the grace that this man displays.
14:41How many times do I need to point this out to you, Michael?
14:44The man has a charley horse.
14:45The man has a deep, deep bruise on his left thigh,
14:49yet he's walking around with the grace
14:51of a prize-winning pony.
14:53This is a commissioner
14:55impassively more than any commissioner
14:57in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.
15:00Well, Paul, I'll tell you what.
15:01With his style, it certainly is Regal.
15:03For William Regal.
15:04And right now, he's taken to Chris Jericho,
15:07dissecting Y2J.
15:09And now the physical commissioner,
15:12standing over Y2J,
15:15throws him back into the ring.
15:19And Regal back into the ring.
15:21Queen's Cup on the line.
15:23And Regal continues the punishment.
15:25And after all these two superstars have been through,
15:27Regal's got to be enjoying this.
15:29And look at the commissioner throwing Y2J.
15:32Throwing Y2J right into the ring post.
15:35And give the commissioner credit.
15:37He doesn't need to be out there risking life and limb.
15:39He doesn't need to be out there
15:41fighting through the pain of a deep thigh bruise.
15:43He's a commissioner that wants to compete.
15:45He's a commissioner that loves the physical action
15:48more so than any other commissioner
15:50in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.
15:52Paul, I hate to burst your bubble,
15:54but Linda McMahon made this match.
15:56Jericho off the ropes, looking up over the top.
15:59But Regal accepted it.
16:00He had no choice.
16:02Regal in trouble.
16:03Jericho's got him covered, too.
16:05And a kick out by Regal.
16:07And Regal with a clothesline
16:09quickly back on top of Jericho.
16:11But in the meantime, he's backing it up, isn't he?
16:13Here's the cover. There's one. There's two.
16:15He couldn't get him.
16:16Jericho kicks out.
16:17It's not like he just went out there
16:18and started pleading for his life.
16:20The man's fighting.
16:21The man's fighting.
16:22And again, applying the hold.
16:24Again, in the middle of the ring,
16:26wearing Jericho down,
16:28depriving Jericho of oxygen.
16:30Regal on top of Jericho.
16:32Another great look at that deep thigh bruise.
16:36Another great look at a great commissioner,
16:39William Regal.
16:40So not only does this deprive Jericho of oxygen,
16:42but it allows William Regal to catch his breath, so to speak,
16:45to get a little bit of a rest in the matchup
16:47while applying the pressure.
16:48You could look at it in that perspective, yes.
16:51And William Regal, the commissioner,
16:53in control of Y2J, Chris Jericho.
16:56Jericho's arm weakly down.
16:58If it falls to the mat three times,
17:00Regal will win the Queen's Cup.
17:02We're down two. We're down two.
17:05I think Jericho's out cold.
17:07Wait a minute.
17:09Jericho keeps the arm up,
17:11trying to feed off this capacity crowd.
17:17Jericho to his feet,
17:19trying desperately to get up,
17:22to take that pressure off of the commissioner.
17:25The shot to the ribs.
17:28And Jericho, back body's locked.
17:31And Regal's locked.
17:33Regal's in a bad way here.
17:34He may have him here.
17:36Can you imagine the embarrassment if Jericho,
17:39Jericho wins the Queen's Cup?
17:42That's a great point.
17:44I didn't even think about it,
17:45but right now Regal is well on his way to winning.
17:51Jericho locked in the ropes,
17:53and Regal with the left hands to Y2J.
18:00How much more can Chris Jericho take?
18:03He tries to battle back,
18:05but with his arms locked in the ropes,
18:07he really, really has no chance.
18:09And those powerful left hands
18:11by the physical commissioner, William Regal,
18:14sets the tone for this match,
18:16for the all-important Queen's Cup
18:19tonight in Earls Court.
18:21Suplex by Regal.
18:23Jericho in trouble.
18:24Here's the cover.
18:25There's one.
18:26There's two.
18:27Can he get him?
18:28No, Jericho with the shoulder up.
18:29And you gotta love how Regal puts his forearm
18:31right in the opponent's head on the cover.
18:33I do love it.
18:34Tremendous leverage,
18:36and now a version of the abdominal stretch.
18:39Regal, another textbook maneuver,
18:43another textbook move by Regal.
18:46Did you see the way that William Regal
18:48was looking with pride at that Silver Queen's Cup
18:51that the winner of this match-up will get?
18:54Yes, I did.
18:56Next question.
18:58Regal continuing the pressure yet again.
19:00Jericho has been able to build
19:01very little offense in this match.
19:04Because Regal's been on top of him.
19:06Because Regal backs up everything that he says
19:08because of the physical commissioner.
19:10Because when the lifting McMahon made the match odd,
19:13Regal is willing to fight.
19:16And not even you can take that away from him.
19:18Not at all.
19:19He's out there.
19:20I'll give him credit for that.
19:21He's given Jericho a run for his money,
19:23and Regal's in position to win the Queen's Cup.
19:27What a forearm.
19:28Jericho, though, blocks.
19:29There's the right hand.
19:30And another.
19:32Can Jericho battle back?
19:37Fly 2J, Chris Jericho trying to get back into this.
19:40Regal into the corner.
19:41Knee to the face.
19:45Jericho, enziguri.
19:47Back of the head.
19:50But can Jericho capitalize?
19:53Can Jericho follow up?
19:56How much more does Y2J have left?
20:00Regal seeing stars after the enziguri.
20:03And the referee starts the count with Brooklyn down.
20:06We're up to four.
20:09Five.
20:10Taylor says five.
20:12I didn't know we could count that far.
20:14Regal slowly stirring.
20:16So's Jericho.
20:17Seven.
20:20Regal to his feet.
20:21Jericho up as well.
20:23Y2J with a right hand.
20:26And another by Jericho.
20:29Oh, what a chop.
20:31Jericho starting to change momentum.
20:34But Regal reverse.
20:36Nice kick by Jericho.
20:38Jericho with a clothesline.
20:41And now Y2J starting to build adrenaline.
20:44Starting to feel it with the missile drop kick.
20:47The cover.
20:48Could have him.
20:49Queen's Cup on the line and a kick out.
20:52Regal getting off his back now.
20:54Getting to his feet.
20:55Y2J the aggressor.
20:56The Queen's Cup on the line.
20:59Jericho with a flying forearm.
21:01Regal's down.
21:02Jericho wants the commissioner.
21:04Back on his feet.
21:07Went for the bulldog.
21:08Regal had it scouted.
21:11Going for the Regal clothes.
21:14And Jericho bulldog.
21:19Here it comes, Paul.
21:20Lion's jaw.
21:21The lion's jaw.
21:22The knees were up.
21:23The knees were up.
21:25Regal had the knees up.
21:27And now the commissioner follows through with an advantage that Jericho may never let through.
21:33Here's the cover.
21:34It should be over.
21:35There's two.
21:36Jericho got the shoulder up.
21:39What a matchup for the Queen's Cup and Insurrection.
21:44But Regal is the aggressor.
21:46Regal on top.
21:47The physical commissioner William Regal all over Y2J.
21:52Regal behind Jericho.
21:54Jericho counters.
21:55Regal rolled up.
21:56He's going for it.
21:57He's going for the walls.
21:59Getting locked in the walls of Jericho.
22:02Jericho's got him locked in.
22:04Regal tapping.
22:05Regal taps out.
22:06Jericho wins the Queen's Cup.
22:17And referee Teddy Long with a trophy for Chris Jericho who's come to William Regal's homeland
22:23and won the Queen's Cup.
22:29A shocker.
22:31No doubt Y2J wins the Queen's Cup in the UK.
22:38Jericho in celebration.
22:40Wait a minute.
22:41Regal the sore loser from behind.
22:45Now what's Regal doing?
22:48He's using the Queen's Cup as a weapon.
22:51He's destroying the cup that Jericho worked hard for.
22:54The commissioner is assaulting Y2J with the Queen's Cup.
22:59William Regal beating the hell out of Jericho.
23:04Come on, commissioner.
23:05You did a fine job, sir.
23:07Fine job.
23:08He lost the match in his home country.
23:10Like I said, he did a fine job.
23:14Chris Jericho wins the Queen's Cup.
23:17But the commissioner beats the crap out of Jericho with the Queen's Cup himself.
23:22Jericho's not going home with the Queen's Cup intact.
23:26Regal destroying it here at Insurrection.
23:31Now coming up next, the handicap match.
23:33Undertaker versus Stone Cold and Triple H for the WWF title.
23:38The Undertaker's all alone.
23:40And this is a battle for his career.
23:42What you see is the two most dominant men in the World Wrestling Federation
23:49today, in the past, in the future.
23:53Can you believe that Man's Alliance has the Intercontinental title
23:57and the WWF title?
23:59We will do what we want.
24:01This is damn sure sick.
24:02And believe me, no one can stop us.
24:08Why don't we see who the most dominant team is?
24:14Now in the center of the ring, the necklace stomp, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H.
24:18We're going to take Triple H and Austin,
24:20and we're going to show them what it's like to be a badass.
24:25This will be a slobber knocker main event.
24:28Who is the most dominant team in the WWF?
24:32Will it be those two, the Brothers of Destruction, the Tag Team Champions,
24:37or will it be the Bond and Dreadnought and The Game?
24:41Stephanie just gave her husband one of those title belts.
24:45But Triple H has got a weapon, and he got him knocked back to his face.
24:48My God, after all this, are you going to tell me
24:51that King is going to beat The Game for the Intercontinental title here?
24:54Oh, my! For the love of God!
24:57King kicks Stephanie right in the face.
25:00And there's Mr. McMahon.
25:02Wait a minute!
25:03Oh, right in the elbow!
25:05The sledgehammer!
25:06The Game's got the sledgehammer!
25:08And right in the head!
25:09Oh, my God!
25:10The sledgehammer!
25:11And King in the head!
25:13No!
25:14No, God! No, damn it!
25:16The Tag Team Champions!
25:18The two-man tag team have all the gold.
25:21But my God, if The Undertaker's got a friend in his body,
25:24there's going to be some serious hell to pay.
25:27I'm concerned with some payback.
25:30King being assaulted again by Austin and Triple H.
25:34My brother, King, and I, we got beat down.
25:37This is sick!
25:39My God, oh, man!
25:41Stop it! Stop it!
25:42Stone Cold is breaking that arm!
25:45In so many different places!
25:47My God, enough is enough!
25:49The Brothers of Destruction have been destroyed!
25:54Now, I warn those boys,
25:56if you screw with me or my family,
25:58I'm going to hurt you.
25:59Undertaker!
26:00Undertaker with a chain!
26:02Undertaker attacking Austin!
26:04Undertaker's got Austin!
26:05He's out of nowhere, Cole!
26:07They didn't listen.
26:08Let's let the pain and suffering begin.
26:12Tonight, I'm going to make them boys famous.
26:15Famous.
26:16Famous.
26:18Time to play the game!
26:23Time to play the game!
26:40They're the most powerful couple
26:42in World Wrestling Federation history.
26:46The Intercontinental Champion,
26:48Triple H and Stephanie!
26:50And it is the new World Wrestling Federation Champion.
26:54If The Undertaker defeats Stone Cold Steve Austin,
26:58he will become the World Wrestling Federation Champion.
27:02Now introducing the participants.
27:04First, being accompanied by Stephanie McCann-Lumley
27:08from Granite, Connecticut.
27:10Weighing in at 260 pounds,
27:12he is co-holder of the Tag Team Championship
27:16and the World Wrestling Federation
27:18Intercontinental Champion,
27:20Triple H!
27:22Oh, he is the cerebral assassin.
27:26He's an Intercontinental Champion
27:28and a Tag Team Champion.
27:29One half of the two-man power trip.
27:33Triple H!
27:38Well, like the song says,
27:40it's all about the game.
27:43And the game tonight is about the WWF title.
27:47All The Undertaker has to do
27:50is defeat Stone Cold Steve Austin
27:54and there will be a new WWF Champion
27:58right here tonight.
28:00I am sure of it.
28:02That would be an implication, an explosion
28:05that would rock the world.
28:11But it is a handicap match.
28:14Triple H and Austin against The Undertaker
28:17when the odds are stacked high.
28:19Who knew that The Undertaker
28:22would even have hopes of surviving
28:24against Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin?
28:29In partner with Victoria Texas,
28:33weighing in at 252 pounds,
28:35he is co-holder of the Tag Team Championship
28:39and the World Wrestling Generation Champion
28:42Stone Cold Steve Austin!
28:46What has happened to this man?
28:48What has happened to Stone Cold Steve Austin?
28:52You see the injury that cuts above his left eye
28:55after a vicious assault by The Undertaker
28:58on SmackDown.
28:59But Paul Heyman, what has happened to Stone Cold?
29:03Stone Cold sold his soul
29:06to the WWF Championship.
29:09And to be honest with you,
29:11if there's one thing in life
29:13that's worth selling your soul for,
29:16it's that title.
29:18It means more money, more pride, more prestige
29:22than anything else in this sport today.
29:25Stone Cold Steve Austin,
29:27the Corrupted Rattlesnake,
29:29did, in my opinion, the smartest thing he could.
29:33He bought an insurance policy.
29:35He made sure he left Houston, Texas
29:38the WWF Champion.
29:40At WrestleMania, but Paul,
29:42why didn't Stone Cold Steve Austin have a conscience?
29:45Why didn't he do it on his own?
29:47The Texas Rattlesnake,
29:48one of the biggest stars in the history of this sport,
29:50could have done it on his own,
29:52but he signed the dotted line
29:54with his arch-rival, Mr. McMahon.
29:58Who better than the owner of the company
30:01to back you up
30:02if you want to make sure you leave WrestleMania
30:05the WWF Champion?
30:07Like I said,
30:08if there's one thing in life
30:10that's worth selling your soul for,
30:12it's that title.
30:15CHEERING
30:25Dead Man Walking.
30:27MUSIC PLAYS
30:44Undertaker!
30:48Dead Man Inc.
30:50is open for business
30:53for The Undertaker.
30:55It's not just about the title, Paul Heyman.
30:57It's about survival
30:59and revenge
31:00for his brother, Kane.
31:02But right now, The Undertaker,
31:04as big and as bad and as tough as he is,
31:07has to fight not just
31:09Stone Cold Steve Austin.
31:11He has to fight The Kane.
31:13Triple H himself.
31:15And Big Daddy Dead Man
31:17fights an uphill battle tonight.
31:19What was waiting for him?
31:21Stone Cold and The Kane.
31:23The two top dogs
31:25in sports entertainment tonight.
31:27The two-man power trip.
31:31Stone Cold must pretend they're submitting The Undertaker
31:34to lose his title.
31:36It's a handicap match.
31:38The odds are stacked high.
31:40But if anyone can do it,
31:42it's Dead Man Inc.
31:44with an equalizer.
31:48Well, you can't win the title that way.
31:51There's no way to win the title that way.
31:54It's by pinfall or submission only.
31:57Stone Cold and Triple H
31:59failing to get in the ring
32:01to start this matchup
32:03against The Undertaker.
32:07But who can blame them?
32:09The Undertaker's got a steel chair.
32:11The Undertaker needs a lot more than that.
32:13But what he needs to do is keep his composure.
32:16Because he's gonna get attacked from all sides
32:18by both The Game
32:20and The Rattlesnake.
32:22And the WWF title
32:24is on the line.
32:26Keep in mind what Austin and Triple H
32:28did to Undertaker's brother Kane Hall.
32:30A shattered left arm.
32:32A vicious assault
32:34at Raw just last week.
32:36That's what happens when you fight
32:38Austin and Triple H by yourself.
32:40That's an uphill battle
32:42that The Undertaker faces tonight.
32:44But as I said, if there's one man
32:46on the face of the planet
32:48that could survive an attack by The Game
32:50it's Austin! Here we go!
32:52And there's the distraction of Austin.
32:54And now Triple H and Austin
32:56into the ring. WWF title on the line.
32:58And the double team begins.
33:00What an uphill battle for The Undertaker.
33:02If there's one guy that can survive
33:04Austin and Triple H
33:06it's The Undertaker.
33:08Do you really think he can survive
33:10these two men?
33:12Dead Man Inc. not starting off too well
33:14as Austin hammers away
33:16at The Undertaker
33:18in the audacity. The ego of Austin
33:20knee braces with
33:22Rattlesnake markings on him.
33:24He is on a serious power trip.
33:30Double team by Austin and Triple H.
33:32Here comes Undertaker.
33:34Bam! Double clothesline
33:36by the 6 foot 10 inch Undertaker.
33:38And now The Undertaker
33:40taking advantage of the situation.
33:42He needs to knock someone
33:44out of the ring. He needs to settle
33:46out Austin and go for the title.
33:48Sidewalk slam to Austin. Chop to Triple H.
33:50There goes The Game right on
33:52cue call. And now Austin's in trouble.
33:56And Triple H from behind
33:58and that's where this handicap match is gonna hurt
34:00The Undertaker. As soon as he focuses
34:02on one man, he's gotta be worried about the other.
34:04But those are the odds that he accepted
34:06in this fight. The Undertaker
34:08has accepted the odds and that's how
34:10badly The Undertaker not
34:12only wants revenge for his
34:14brother Kane, but wants to become
34:16the WWF champion
34:18once again. Undertaker and Triple H
34:20battling off the ramp here at
34:22Insurrection. It has been a wild
34:24night at Earls Court in London
34:26with a World Wrestling Federation title
34:28on the line. The Undertaker needs
34:30to get this match back into the ring.
34:32The Undertaker cannot win this
34:34match halfway up the aisle.
34:36And his back is turned
34:38too, which is a mistake.
34:42Undertaker does not want a count out, but
34:44referee Earl Hedner is out there allowing these
34:46three superstars to bend the rules just a bit.
34:50Stone Cold and The Undertaker
34:52battling up the ramp. Advantage
34:54Austin. He can't lose the title
34:56on the ramp.
34:58Stone Cold Steve Austin
35:00The Changed Man
35:02The Vicious Assault continuing
35:04trying to... Oh, look out!
35:06Undertaker with a back body drop!
35:08And Austin's body thundering off
35:10that steel! And look at the concern
35:12on the face of Stephanie.
35:14The Billion Dollar Princess does not like
35:16what she's seen. The Undertaker
35:18holding his own
35:20against The Game and The Rattlesnake.
35:22You heard what The Undertaker said on
35:24SmackDown, Paul. You mess with my
35:26family, you get hurt.
35:28The two-man power trip messed with his family
35:30and they've been getting hurt the past
35:32few days. Yeah, but it's one thing
35:34to get hurt by Cam. It's another
35:36thing to lose the WWF
35:38title. And that would be Austin's
35:40worst nightmare. Can you imagine?
35:42Austin sold his soul
35:44for the title. Can you imagine
35:46what happened to be losing? It was all
35:48for naught. Great point.
35:50Undertaker with the
35:52elbow to Triple H and look out!
35:54Right here in front of us.
35:56Undertaker
35:58destroying the announce table.
36:00Triple H is
36:02in La La Land.
36:04And Undertaker
36:06destroying the announce table.
36:08What the hell do you want me to do?
36:10Yeah, right.
36:12The Game, Triple H,
36:14trying to battle back. Now with a kick to the
36:16midsection. And another one.
36:18And Triple H
36:20tossing The Undertaker back into the ring
36:22as Stone Cold Steve Austin
36:24slowly, slowly lifts back
36:26to ringside. Would somebody mind
36:28only teaming me up on these broadcasts
36:30with an announcer that will pack me up?
36:32And the Mega Man took my monitor.
36:34And Triple H
36:36now The Game. And there's
36:38the back body drop by The Undertaker.
36:40And Undertaker
36:42building momentum. But if he wants
36:44to win the title, he has to pin Austin
36:46not Triple H.
36:48Old school! Old school!
36:50As long as he stays away
36:52from this table, I don't care what the hell he does.
36:54Vintage
36:56Undertaker. A shot
36:58to Triple H. No one does
37:00it better. Cover. One.
37:02And Triple H kicks out
37:04before a count of two.
37:06A near fall by The Undertaker.
37:08You gotta be impressed
37:10with The Undertaker. He's dominated this
37:12fight so far tonight.
37:14101 hand.
37:16Undertaker, 6 foot
37:1811, 330 pounds.
37:20Dead
37:22Manic.
37:24Triple H reversal.
37:26What a shot. Undertaker
37:28ducks underneath it. Triple H
37:30in trouble planted with a DDT.
37:32Triple H
37:34now needs to make the tag.
37:36Needs to tag in Stone Cold
37:38as the billion dollar princess
37:40Stephanie McMahon
37:42helplessly watches her husband
37:44Triple H, The Game,
37:46battle Big Daddy Dead Man.
37:48Undertaker into the cover.
37:50There's one. There's two. Austin
37:52breaks up the three count.
37:54A little
37:56surprising there, Paul. If Undertaker
37:58had taken the fall on Triple H,
38:00Austin wouldn't have lost his title.
38:02But Stone Cold showing that now
38:04he is a team player. That he's bought
38:06into this two man power trip
38:08syndrome. Mr. McMahon's got him on.
38:10You don't really buy that, do you?
38:12He's just a great competitor.
38:14He's still The Rattlesnake. He's still
38:16Cold Steve Austin. And now
38:18he's in the ring and still
38:20on top of The Undertaker.
38:22Well, I also buy the fact that
38:24Austin realizes in order to keep his
38:26title here in London tonight, he needs
38:28Triple H. He needs Triple H on his
38:30side. No doubt.
38:32I'm not disputing that.
38:34But now Stone Cold.
38:36Stone Cold Steve
38:38Austin. The top dog in
38:40The Game. The WWF champion.
38:42Wearing out The Undertaker
38:44in the corner.
38:46Austin's WWF
38:48title on the line. Missed with the right hand.
38:50Undertaker taken down.
38:52Luthez Crest and the right hand
38:54by Austin. Luthez Crest
38:56and Muhammad Ali right. And an elbow
38:58right into the chin of
39:00The Undertaker.
39:02Stone Cold delivering the elbows
39:04to The Undertaker.
39:06With a WWF title on the line. And The Undertaker
39:08has Austin by the throat.
39:10Triple H into the ring
39:12takes a boot. Austin
39:14misses. Undertaker.
39:16Austin going for a fly.
39:18Triple H. The numbers game.
39:20Too much for The Undertaker.
39:22How frustrated do you think The Undertaker
39:24is tonight?
39:26With Triple H nailing
39:28him left and right every time The
39:30Taker gets Austin in trouble.
39:32Well, The Undertaker wanted this match.
39:34He wanted the handicap match. He wanted
39:36to be in there with these two men.
39:38I don't know what he was thinking
39:40about. Where's Stephanie going?
39:44She's providing the destruction.
39:46And this is bad for The Undertaker
39:48because Stone Cold
39:50has a weapon.
39:52Austin with a steel chair.
39:54Referee distracted by Stephanie.
39:56Steel chair
39:58in the head of The Undertaker.
40:00Triple H
40:02going for the cover. And dammit
40:04the two man power trip is gonna
40:06steal one. One.
40:08There's two. He got it.
40:10Undertaker kicked out.
40:12This isn't a damn two on one
40:14match with Stephanie out here.
40:16It's three on one.
40:18And the odds are in the favor
40:20of the WWF champion
40:22Stone Cold Steve Austin
40:24and the game for Triple H.
40:26And now The Rattlesnake looks to take
40:28control. Austin
40:30knocking The Undertaker out of the ring.
40:32Here comes Triple H.
40:34And Triple H. Undertaker
40:36into that steel post
40:38at ringside.
40:40I just can't imagine
40:42how frustrated The Undertaker
40:44has to be with Hunter
40:46Hurst Helmsley. I can't imagine
40:48I can't imagine how
40:50badly he wants to get his
40:52hands on Triple H.
40:54Undertaker's frustrated with Triple H.
40:56How elated has Austin gotta be
40:58with the game? Oh the game
41:00has been the difference in this match.
41:02No doubt. The game has
41:04helped Stone Cold to an absurd
41:06degree.
41:08How much does The Undertaker have left?
41:10Driven to the title. Driven
41:12for revenge on his brother Kane.
41:14But being picked apart by the two
41:16most dangerous men in the
41:18World Wrestling Federation today.
41:20Cover. Hook of the leg.
41:22Two. Taker somehow gets the shoulder
41:24up. Cover again. Two.
41:26Taker again. Kicks out. Cover
41:28again. One. Two.
41:30Taker again. Kicks out.
41:32The competitor that is
41:34Stone Cold Steve Austin.
41:36The drive that has made him
41:38the WWF Champion.
41:40And now the game.
41:42The difference in this match.
41:44Hunter Hurst Helmsley.
41:46Triple H. The man that married
41:48the Billion Dollar Princess.
41:50The man that is now part of the McMahon
41:52family and Mr. McMahon's
41:54only true son
41:56Triple H wearing out
41:58The Undertaker in the corner.
42:00Paul, whether you agree with
42:02Triple H's tactics or not.
42:04He is the cerebral assassin.
42:06He knows how to pick apart an opponent
42:08and he's running interference and taking
42:10care of The Undertaker. But here comes
42:12Taker.
42:16Crowd starting to
42:18come alive. Undertaker reversed
42:20and Triple H goes for the sleeper
42:22hold. And The Undertaker
42:24goes down to one knee already.
42:26He has been worn out.
42:28The Undertaker has been worn down.
42:30Worn out by
42:32Austin and Triple H. Notice the
42:34wide separation of the feet.
42:36Notice the leverage being employed.
42:38Notice the positioning.
42:40Triple H using all of his body weight
42:42to his advantage
42:44on The Undertaker. And the
42:46Billion Dollar Princess loves
42:48every single moment
42:50of it. And the cerebral assassin has
42:52taken the height advantage. The weight advantage
42:54away from The Undertaker.
42:56Taking him down to the mat with the sleeper hold.
42:58And Paul, The Undertaker's eyes
43:00are beginning to roll up in his head.
43:02And not the way they used to ten years ago.
43:04This ain't good for The Undertaker.
43:06This is great
43:08for Triple H. And even better
43:10for Stone Cold
43:12Steve Austin. And as Triple H
43:14wears The Undertaker down,
43:16Stone Cold is getting rested.
43:18He could be close to 100% Triple H using the ropes.
43:20Blatantly using the ropes for leverage.
43:22You take what you got.
43:24You deal with the cards that are dealt to you.
43:26And Triple H using
43:28the ropes to his advantage.
43:30You should know that.
43:32You don't expect him to deprive
43:34himself of the opportunity
43:36of using the ropes for leverage.
43:38Do you? Well, why should I?
43:40He married Stephanie. He's working with Mr.
43:42McMahon. He's teaming with Austin.
43:44Why should I expect anything different?
43:46Right. Why should you? That was my question.
43:48Perhaps he could answer me.
43:50Look at this crowd.
43:52Perhaps he could answer me.
43:54Perhaps he could answer me.
43:56He's trying to save the title
43:58for his buddy, Stone Cold.
44:00And he's not only trying to save the title.
44:02Looks to me like Triple H
44:04is about to score a victory
44:06over The Undertaker.
44:08And how huge would that be for the game?
44:10Arm goes down. It's over. And The Undertaker
44:12keeps it up in a handful of hair.
44:14The Undertaker
44:16battling back. Dead Man Inc.
44:18Eyes risen from the dead.
44:20And Triple H has shot
44:22to the midsection again.
44:24Misses with the right hand.
44:26Undertaker!
44:30But what does Taker do now?
44:32He has no partner to tag in.
44:34He has nobody to rest him. No way.
44:36He's all on his own. The Undertaker
44:38rode into town like John Wayne.
44:40And he's gonna get taken out like
44:42Lennox Lewis. And in comes
44:44the badass himself.
44:46The WWF champion,
44:48Stone Cold Steve Austin.
44:50The extremely fresh WWF champion.
44:52Austin out of the ring
44:54an extraordinary amount of time.
44:56And Undertaker reverses
44:58the Sleeper on Austin.
45:00He's got him locked in.
45:02But Austin counters. Suplex.
45:04Stone Cold too well rested.
45:06Well too well rested.
45:08The Rattlesnake in control.
45:10Austin's second rope.
45:12And Undertaker
45:14shot to the midsection.
45:18And now the champion.
45:20Austin whipped into the ropes.
45:22Shot to the face by Austin.
45:24And here's the tag
45:26to Triple H. The Game.
45:28The Game has made the difference in this match.
45:30How badly must the
45:32Undertaker hate the Game?
45:34I think the Game has truly
45:36been the difference maker.
45:38I've been the man that has
45:40distracted the Undertaker
45:42and kept him at bay
45:44away from the title.
45:46I can't imagine the hatred
45:48in the Undertaker's heart
45:50for Triple H. If there was an MVP
45:52of this matchup giving out right now
45:54he would go to the Game. No doubt.
45:56He'd be the difference. In order to win the title
45:58the Taker would have to take out the Game.
46:00Boot to the face by Undertaker.
46:02A desperation maneuver
46:04for Undertaker, the challenger.
46:06But he's not taken out
46:08the Game yet. He's only delayed
46:10him a few moments. And there's
46:12no one for the Undertaker
46:14to tag. Austin
46:16meanwhile is just inches away
46:18and here comes
46:20the WWF Champion.
46:22Here comes the Undertaker. Elrond
46:24Austin. Right hand
46:26to Austin. And another one.
46:28And the Undertaker. The two
46:30man power trip. Butt heads in the
46:32corner.
46:34And Undertaker's beginning
46:36to stir. He's beginning to roll.
46:38The
46:40WWF title on the line.
46:42Austin must be pinned for
46:44Taker to win the title.
46:46Oh
46:48now he's coming out by us again.
46:50Oh look out Undertaker
46:52out in front of us. Stone Cold Steve Austin.
46:54Into that steel
46:56barricade.
46:58Taker right
47:00hand to Stone Cold.
47:02Taker wisely continues
47:04to look over his shoulder to make sure
47:06Triple H isn't on the double team attack.
47:08Like I said the Game has
47:10made the difference in this entire match.
47:12And Undertaker.
47:14Triple H coming. Chokeslam.
47:16Chokeslam.
47:18Do the table.
47:20Do the table.
47:22I don't believe it.
47:24The Undertaker has taken out Triple H.
47:26Triple H
47:28chokeslam to a table.
47:30But Austin's taking advantage
47:32of the distraction.
47:34Boot to the midsection
47:36right for the stunner.
47:38Boot to the face.
47:40The Game is down.
47:42And Austin is all alone
47:44against a merciless Undertaker.
47:46And a low blow.
47:48Referee distracted by Stephanie.
47:50And a low blown Undertaker.
47:52And now the assault begins for the Rattlesnake.
47:54The Game has made the difference in this match.
47:56The Game has been the saving
47:58grace for so called Steve Austin.
48:00And now Austin
48:02is all by himself alone
48:04without the help of Triple H.
48:06All right about now.
48:08Austin's in trouble.
48:10Chokeslam. Chokeslam.
48:12We can have a new champion.
48:14The title's in jeopardy.
48:16The title is in deep, deep jeopardy.
48:18The champion's down
48:20after the chokeslam.
48:22Triple H is down.
48:24Cover him.
48:26Undertaker bleeding from the air.
48:28Into the cover. There's two.
48:30And Triple H. Triple H
48:32saves the title.
48:34Again
48:36the Game saved Stone Cold's
48:38title.
48:40And meanwhile the Undertaker
48:42is busted open badly.
48:44And the Game, he's going for the
48:46pedigree. The Game goes for the pedigree.
48:48Undertaker countered.
48:50Undertaker countered.
48:52Slingshot at Austin.
48:54The Undertaker
48:56bleeding profusely
48:58but somehow has something left.
49:04Triple H off the ropes. And a facebuster.
49:06Undertaker
49:08still on his feet. Triple H clothesline.
49:12Triple H applying
49:14the pressure to the Undertaker.
49:16And how much equilibrium can the
49:18Undertaker keep? Oh, wait a minute.
49:20Mr. McMahon.
49:22What the hell is he doing out here?
49:24What on earth
49:26could Mr. McMahon need to be
49:28ringside for?
49:30I think he's here to expect the Undertaker's
49:32punch. I truly believe
49:34that in my free style.
49:36McMahon with a chair.
49:38Steel chair in the ring. Referee distracted.
49:40Mr. McMahon dropped
49:42his son-in-law. He hit his son-in-law.
49:44Triple H.
49:46Chokeslam.
49:48The cross. Chokeslam.
49:52Chokeslam.
49:54Triple H.
49:56The elevation. Chokeslam by
49:58the Undertaker. The cover.
50:00Undertaker
50:02wins the heavyweight match.
50:08Chokeslam. Austin chokeslam.
50:12Stone Cold keeps his title.
50:14Stone Cold
50:16keeps his title.
50:18But perhaps the most significant
50:20victory this year.
50:22Oh no. Oh no.
50:26Chair to Triple H.
50:28Chair to McMahon.
50:30But Paul, you're right.
50:32Perhaps the most important victory
50:34of the year. The Undertaker
50:36has defeated
50:38Triple H and Stone Cold
50:40in a handicap match.
50:42He stays the number one contender.
50:44The Undertaker has
50:46laid out Stone Cold.
50:48Has laid out Triple H.
50:50And has laid out
50:52Mr. McMahon.
50:54He didn't win the title, but perhaps
50:56he got some semblance of revenge,
50:58Paul, for his brother
51:00Kane, who had his arm
51:02shattered by Austin and Triple H
51:04just a few days ago.
51:06The Undertaker
51:08leads the UK with
51:10the most significant victory
51:12in the year 2001.
51:14The Undertaker
51:16leads Insurrection.
51:18The victor in the handicap
51:20match over Austin
51:22and Triple H. The Undertaker
51:24beaten, battered
51:26and bruised.
51:28But he gets out of
51:30here with a victory over the
51:32two-man power trip.
51:36And Insurrection
51:38for The Undertaker tonight in London.
51:42What a huge,
51:44huge victory for The Undertaker.
51:46My God,
51:48what ramification
51:50will this spell for
51:52Austin, Triple H
51:54and Mr. McMahon.
51:56The two-man power trip
51:58has had the power sucked
52:00out of it tonight by
52:02The Undertaker.
52:04What a crushing blow
52:06for Austin, Mr. McMahon
52:08and Triple H.
52:10Deadman Inc.
52:12gonna ride off into the sunset.
52:14The Undertaker
52:16with a huge win
52:18over the two-man
52:20power trip.
52:24He didn't win the title,
52:26but The Undertaker made a statement.
52:28Thank you for joining us at
52:30Insurrection on Skybox
52:32office. The Undertaker
52:34has sucked the power
52:36from Austin and Triple H
52:38tonight.
