00:00The following content is given for one ball.
00:19On the way to the ring, from Toronto, Canada, weighing in at 235 pounds, Christian!
00:20And the opponent, from Washington, DC, weighing in at 317 pounds, Batista!
00:38A big New England welcome from Portland, Maine.
00:44This is good old J.R.
00:45Jim Ross here with Jerry The King Lawler.
00:47I've never seen a crowd so fired up, J.R.!
00:50They can't wait to get started, and neither can I!
00:53That makes two of us kings!
00:54I don't think Portman's gonna know what hit it after tonight!
01:05I've got a feeling that this has all the makings of an instant!
01:10You're not gonna get him with that one!
01:18These superstars have put in on a great match so far, J.R.!
01:22But if they drop the ball, these fans will let them hear about it!
01:25I don't think that's gonna happen, King!
01:27These competitors know that their paychecks come straight from the WWE fans!
01:33They're not going to let them down!
01:35Yeah, but if they don't keep the fans happy...
01:38If... if...
01:40If wishes were fishes, the world would be an ocean!
01:45The world would be an ocean!
01:47But that's not the case now, is it?
01:58I think I know who's gonna win this match, but I don't wanna say!
02:01I'm afraid I'll jinx it!
02:02Come on, King! Don't tell me you're superstitious!
02:06Of course not!
02:07What a submission hold! Could this be a tap-out?
02:10It isn't! The hold can't be broken!
02:12You can't take this kind of pain for long!
02:14Three...
02:16Four...
02:23I'm not so sure this was about winning or losing anymore.
02:26I think it's become more personal than that.
02:29Of course it's personal, J.R.!
02:31Anytime you step into the ring with someone who wants to beat you down in order to win the match, it's personal!
02:36I guess I can't argue with that, King.
02:38I just wonder if they'll be able to settle the differences.
02:42We could have a pitfall here, J.R.!
02:44Two...
02:45That's nowhere near a three-count!
02:49Excellent counter! What ring presence!
03:00I'll be honest with you, King. This is not...
03:03His opponent telegraphed that one!
03:13I feel like the luckiest guy in the world, J.R.!
03:16I can't believe I actually get paid to do this job!
03:19Well, don't let Eric Bischoff hear you say that, King, or you might wind up having to do it for free!
03:25That's true! Bischoff's so cheap, he won't even tip a canoe!
03:30I tell you, King, sometimes I get exhausted just watching these superstars...
03:35I know what you mean, J.R.!
03:37I don't... I can't believe he countered that one!
03:41I tell you, King, sometimes I get exhausted just watching these superstars...
03:47I know what you mean, J.R.!
03:49I don't... I can't believe he countered that one!
03:59He's looking for that finisher, and he can do it here!
04:04One...
04:05He countered that one perfectly!
04:07I respect the effort...
04:08Two...
04:09There's no way this is going to happen!
04:11Hit the gym! Come back after a few months of weight training!
04:16Four...
04:21Five...
04:23This match is going to continue until someone's completely debilitated!
04:31And considering the resiliency of these superstars, that's not going to be easy!
04:37That's for sure! No one in this match is going down without a fight!
04:40And I wouldn't expect any less from them, King!
04:43Like them or not, you've got to respect the tenacity of each and every WWE superstar!
04:52There's the reversal!
05:02These superstars are at the top of their game, J.R.!
05:05They make it look so easy!
05:06They sure do!
05:08You almost forget about the years of training and sacrifice that went into their careers!
05:19Watch out! He reversed it!
05:31I think this one could go either way, J.R.!
05:34It sure could!
05:35Until the referee calls for the bell, this is still...
05:38He's got his opponent locked in a submission hold!
05:41We can see a tap out right here, J.R.!
05:52So, J.R., are you enjoying the match so far?
05:55Yes, I am!
05:56I think these superstars are putting on one hell of an exhibition here tonight!
06:01What's your favorite part of it so far?
06:03I don't think it's happened yet.
06:05My favorite part of the match is when you quit yapping and let me enjoy it!
06:11Now, now, J.R.!
06:12Keep your words soft and sweet, because you may have to eat them later!
06:16This is the perfect chance for a finisher!
06:20I think I know who's going to win this one, J.R.!
06:23Oh, really?
06:25Enlighten us, King!
06:27Wait a second!
06:28Why are you so eager to hear my prediction?
06:30Because I want to know who's going to win!
06:33And not that went nowhere!
06:36I tell you, J.R.,
06:38this one has the potential to be a match of the year candidate!
06:42No doubt about it, King!
06:44As far as I'm concerned, any WWE match has that potential!
06:50I think I know who's going to win this one, J.R.!
06:53Wait a second!
06:54Why are you so eager to hear my prediction?
06:56Because I want to know who's going to win!
06:58And not that went nowhere!
07:06Oh boy, this is not going to be an easy hole to escape from!
07:09It sure isn't, J.R.!
07:11I've been on the wrong end of that one many times!
07:23It looks like these superstars are looking for an opening!
07:26And the first one to find one will take control of this match!
07:32What? Is he nuts?
07:35He doesn't really think he's going to lift him, does he?
07:38Well, if he did, I don't think he does anymore!
07:46And it's been reversed!
07:49I hope these superstars can make it through this match without suffering a serious injury!
07:53So do I, King, but this ain't ballet!
07:56This is very intense physical competition!
08:03He reversed it!
08:06I almost feel bad for Taz and Michael Cole.
08:08They never get to call matches as good as this!
08:11SmackDown's had its fair share of exciting matchups, King,
08:15but I'm inclined to agree with you.
08:18There's nothing like watching a true superstar win a match.
08:21I'm not going to be surprised if he's going to win a match!
08:24I'm not going to be surprised if he's going to win a match!
08:27I'm not going to be surprised if he's going to win a match!
08:30I'm not going to be surprised if he's going to win a match!
08:33There's nothing like watching the Raw superstars perform live.
08:39And we're so lucky, JR! We get to see them every single week!
08:51I feel so lucky that I'm actually getting to see these superstars wrestle each other!
08:56Me too, King. This one has the potential to become an instant classic.
09:02He turned the tables on his opponent with that one!
09:12You know, JR, when I saw this match on paper, I wasn't too sure about it.
09:16But it's turned out a lot better than I thought it would!
09:18I'm not at all surprised, King. I knew this was going to be a terrific matchup.
09:23Oh, come on, JR. You're just talking through your hat.
09:27And speaking of hats, when are you going to get rid of that silly thing?
09:31Right about the time you stop wearing that crown, I'd say.
09:44This is Raw action at its finest.
09:48That's why Raw is the number one brand of sports entertainment.
09:52You got that right, JR. You're not going to see this kind of act—
09:55Uh-oh. Looks like he wants to end this right here.
09:59There it is! The Batista Bomb!
10:02That's just Raw animal power right there!
10:06He's going for the pin!
10:08Wow! Listen to these fans, JR!
10:11You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all the people some of the time,
10:16but there's no fooling the WWE fans at all.
10:19No! No! How can a referee allow something like that?
10:24Come on, JR! You know that the referee's health plan doesn't include vision!
10:35And there's the submission! There might not be any way out of it!
10:39There better be, or we're going to see a tap-out right here!
10:43Batista! Batista!
10:47Batista! Batista!
10:51I'll tell you what, King.
10:52The WWE superstars are about the greatest athletes you'll find in any sport, period.
10:59What do you mean, just about, JR?
11:02Can you actually think of anywhere else that you can see athletes of this caliber?
11:06I was just going for a little humility there, King.
11:09Enough surprise that was lost on you.
11:12He's a slippery devil.
11:22I wonder if SmackDown's going to have anything nearly this good next Thursday.
11:26I think we both know the answer to that one, King.
11:29How could they compete with a match like this?
11:33What do you think of the match so far, JR?
11:36I think these superstars are putting on one hell of an exhibition here tonight, King.
11:42I can't wait to see what it looks like.
11:44Someone was playing a little possum there.
11:49He's got his opponent in a pending predicament!
11:52That was like two and seven-eighths, JR!
11:55He's got his opponent in a pending predicament!
11:58That was like two and seven-eighths, JR!
12:10If you talk about reckless aggression, look at the way these superstars have been going after each other.
12:14They're a textbook reversal there.
12:20Throwing your back with your shoulders on the mat is no place to be!
12:26Here's what the fans came to see!
12:30Oh my gosh! The Batista Bomb!
12:33He shook the entire arena with that one!
12:40And there's the cover!
12:41One, two, three!
12:44Well, you can't ever...
12:45That's it! The match is over!
12:49That music went on real slow there.
12:53Well, that's what you call a real slobber knocker, JR!
12:57What does that even mean, anyway?
