00:01:56You're going down, you're going down
00:01:59Someone said you're feeling free tonight
00:02:02Step up!
00:02:03Do you really wanna cross the line?

00:02:09Let it roll, let it roll
00:02:10I'm unstoppable
00:02:12Let it roll, let it roll
00:02:22We welcome you to Friday Night SmackDown
00:02:24and off the heels of Survivor Series
00:02:26we turn our attention to three of the most intriguing words
00:02:29in the WWE vernacular
00:02:31Tables, ladders, and chairs
00:02:33Two weeks from this Sunday
00:02:34it's the inaugural TLC pay-per-view
00:02:37and The Undertaker will defend his world heavyweight title
00:02:40Tonight, we'll find out his opponent
00:02:42Batista's vowed nothing can come between him and the championship
00:02:45but tonight he'll have to go through hellfire and brimstone
00:02:48It's Batista versus Kane
00:02:51The winner faces The Phenom at TLC
00:03:10Well, here comes a man who was seconds away from history
00:03:13inches away from becoming the world's heavyweight champion
00:03:16and a heartbeat away from destruction
00:03:18at the hands of The Undertaker
00:03:20but moving forward
00:03:21Tables, ladders, and chairs
00:03:23This match will have everything
00:03:25Chris Jericho and The Big Show
00:03:27defend the unified tag titles
00:03:29versus TX
00:03:30TX, believe it or not, have never been tag team champions
00:03:33They'll get their opportunity
00:03:35two weeks from this Sunday
00:03:37but how about Chris Jericho?
00:03:39Said he was on the roll of his career
00:03:41winning the Survivor Series
00:03:42and guess what?
00:03:43Jericho was not in that triple threat match
00:03:46Oh, we have tables matches
00:03:47ladders matches
00:03:48and chair matches
00:03:49This match for the unified tag titles at TLC
00:03:52will have them all
00:04:04Now, while all of you mucilaginous troglodytes
00:04:08attempt to digest your massive Thanksgiving dinners
00:04:12and try and recover from your tryptophan hangovers
00:04:17I know you're waiting with bated breath
00:04:19for the date
00:04:20December 13th
00:04:22because that is the day
00:04:24that the most dominant tag team
00:04:27of this or any other generation
00:04:29The Big Show and Chris Jericho
00:04:32have a tables, ladders, and chairs match
00:04:37against the juvenile delinquents
00:04:39known as TX
00:04:47Oh, you like DX, do you?
00:04:50Yeah
00:04:54Well, cheer for DX while you can
00:04:56because while you see December 13th
00:04:59as being the beginning
00:05:01of the DX championship reign
00:05:04I'm counting the days down
00:05:06because I know
00:05:07that after December 13th
00:05:09I'll never have to deal with DX again
00:05:17Because a TLC match
00:05:19a tables, ladders, and chairs match
00:05:22is not about moronic catchphrases
00:05:25or sophomoric jokes
00:05:27or the pandering and shilling
00:05:29of cheap merchandise
00:05:31that all of you sickle fans
00:05:33wait in line to purchase
00:05:35No
00:05:37A TLC match is the most dangerous match
00:05:41ever created
00:05:43in the WWE history
00:05:46So much so
00:05:48that there's only been eight
00:05:50recorded TLCs
00:05:53in the history of this business
00:06:06You may think so
00:06:08but I deal with the facts
00:06:10The fact is
00:06:11Shawn Michaels and Triple H
00:06:13have never been in a TLC match
00:06:16ever
00:06:17I have been in two TLC matches
00:06:23I have dominated TLC
00:06:26I have won TLC
00:06:29and I have succeeded in TLC matches
00:06:32like I've succeeded in every single thing
00:06:35I've ever done in my entire life
00:06:42I have defended
00:06:44these tag team championships
00:06:47in a TLC
00:06:49because I am a winner
00:06:57No
00:06:59No I don't
00:07:01I am a winner
00:07:03and DX
00:07:05are losers
00:07:07and DX
00:07:09are losers
00:07:14because despite their accomplishments
00:07:17their impressive accolades
00:07:19they have never been
00:07:21the tag team champions
00:07:23ever
00:07:26and as long as I hold these titles
00:07:30they never will
00:07:38I am the best in the world
00:07:41at what I do
00:07:42I deserve respect
00:07:44from all of you hypocrites
00:07:46and for all these parasites in the back
00:07:49yet I do not get it
00:07:55I demand respect
00:07:57and yet General Manager Teddy Long
00:07:59proverbially slaps me in the face
00:08:02time and time again
00:08:04how can there be a number one contenders match
00:08:07for the world heavyweight champion
00:08:09tonight on Smackdown
00:08:11and I am not in it

00:08:14and I demand
00:08:16that Teddy Long
00:08:18makes things right
00:08:20because as the face of Smackdown

00:08:26more than me
00:08:28and nobody should be
00:08:30the world heavyweight champion
00:08:32more than Chris Jericho

00:10:56we've got Batista vs Kane
00:10:58in a number one contenders match
00:11:00and then we have Jericho vs the world heavyweight champion The Undertaker
00:11:04now we have the boys who bring the hood to you
00:11:07of course hood short for neighborhood
00:11:09crime time
00:11:10we are 60 miles away from their hometown of Brooklyn New York
00:11:13two school buses filled with friends and family
00:11:17took the trip up 95 to be here tonight
00:11:20to support crime time
00:11:23they are Brooklyn's flyest
00:11:25and Brooklyn's beast
00:11:27you know who's who?
00:11:30and from Calgary Alberta Canada
00:11:32at a combined weight of 449 pounds
00:11:35Tyson Kidd
00:11:37and David Hart Smith
00:11:39the Hart Dynasty
00:11:42DH Smith and Tyson Kidd have said on many occasions
00:11:46they will one day become the greatest tag team of all time
00:11:49they're on the path right now
00:11:51it's just a matter of when
00:11:53not if
00:11:54right there you see the daughter of Jim Vianville
00:11:56Nide Hart
00:11:57Natalya
00:11:58of course David Hart Smith
00:11:59the passive offspring of the legendary British Bulldog
00:12:02David Boy Smith
00:12:04and Tyson Kidd
00:12:05the last graduate of the infamous
00:12:07Hart Submission Dungeon Training Center
00:12:10in Calgary Alberta Canada
00:12:14there's Natalya
00:12:16recently picked up a victory over Mickie James
00:12:18so Natalya's stock is rising as well
00:12:24you cannot get more polar opposite
00:12:27than these two teams
00:12:30opposite into the spectrum so to speak
00:12:33that street style of crime time is wild and unorthodox
00:12:36that could pose problems for the technical submission specialist
00:12:40Tyson Kidd
00:12:42Tyson Kidd and DH Smith certainly well versed
00:12:44well trained
00:12:45but can anything really prepare you for the style
00:12:47that crime time brings
00:12:49like that
00:12:54notice there that
00:12:55controversial footwear
00:12:56I've always said they shouldn't be allowed to wear those in the ring
00:12:59a drop kick is far worse in those boots
00:13:02you can complain about everything
00:13:04what do you mean rules are rules
00:13:06well obviously they've been
00:13:08deemed legal
00:13:13DH Smith
00:13:15third generation superstar
00:13:18DH can hurt you in
00:13:20pretty much any way he wants to
00:13:24including stomping right in your gut
00:13:29DH Smith made a big splash in his debut match
00:13:32beat Finley
00:13:34and since then has not looked back
00:13:37always like to watch the movements
00:13:40of David Hart Smith
00:13:41no wasted movement between either he or Tyson Kidd
00:13:44we haven't seen Shad Gaspard yet
00:13:47it's been all JTG
00:13:49cover here from Tyson Kidd
00:13:51notice right after the cover
00:13:53well let's see how we got here first
00:13:56take his eyes really quickly off of Tyson Kidd
00:13:59and Tyson Kidd takes advantage
00:14:01what I was going to allude to earlier was
00:14:03notice there Tyson Kidd goes for a pinfall right there
00:14:05that's just to allow JTG to expend more energy
00:14:08now Tyson Kidd is going for a pinfall
00:14:10to allow JTG to expend more energy
00:14:12now Tyson Kidd right into a potential submission hold
00:14:18DH Smith who claims to be the best technical wrestler
00:14:21in all the WWE
00:14:24that's pretty braggadocious
00:14:27but he can back it up
00:14:28how about that for a standing vertical suplex
00:14:31from David Hart Smith right into a cover
00:14:35and Matt two weeks from this Sunday
00:14:37the innovative tables ladders and chairs pay per view
00:14:41we've got a tables match
00:14:42while the ladders match
00:14:43a chair match
00:14:44and of course the match that has all three
00:14:46the TLC match
00:14:47Jericho versus DX
00:14:50JTG right now
00:14:53has to be thinking
00:14:54I've got to get Shad in this match
00:14:58but wisely you can see the Hart Dynasty
00:15:00keeping JTG in the unthinkable
00:15:02has to be keeping JTG in the unfriendly corner right now
00:15:06great tag team strategy
00:15:08and notice also the offense changes
00:15:11David Hart Smith brings the bullying and the brawn
00:15:14and Tyson Kidd brings the technique
00:15:16we could forget the match last week
00:15:18Tyson Kidd one on one against Rey Mysterio
00:15:21a high flying energetic match
00:15:23Tyson Kidd more than held his own
00:15:28again questionable footwear comes into play
00:15:32I think that would hurt
00:15:33whether he had boots on or was barefoot
00:15:37and now this may be the opportunity
00:15:39as Gaspar tries to encourage his partner
00:15:42and remember
00:15:43both members of each team standing outside
00:15:45are extremely tall
00:15:47well over 6'3", 6'4".
00:15:49their length
00:15:50their arms length can help
00:15:51here comes David Hart Smith
00:15:53here comes the large professional Shad
00:15:56it's gone to a heavyweight bout quickly
00:15:59Gaspar versus Smith
00:16:01he loves it when you call him Big Papa
00:16:09the downtown science of crime time
00:16:11paying dividends
00:16:14and now Gaspar from the second row
00:16:18momentum, power and strength from Gaspar
00:16:22but Tyson Kidd in to protect his partner
00:16:27now JTG over the top rope
00:16:31and how about that for a clothesline
00:16:34and they've just sent Kidd from Connecticut
00:16:36to Pennsylvania
00:16:38Smith though
00:16:39quickly and emphatically
00:16:42a pinfall victory over Gaspar in crime time
00:16:48we are always told when we begin our training
00:16:50never take your eyes off your opponent
00:16:53and that is the one mistake that Shad made
00:16:57well Matt you always say it only takes 3 seconds
00:16:59and that's how quickly this match turned around
00:17:04oh and Shad, Gaspar got into the match
00:17:06the momentum and the energy changed
00:17:08but again it's that chaos that the Hart Dynasty brings to ringside
00:17:11let's take a look at some of the highlights
00:17:13of this impressive tag team contest
00:17:16well you can see Tyson Kidd disposed of JTG
00:17:19and then Gaspar turns his attention
00:17:21from the legal man Smith
00:17:23focused on Kidd
00:17:24and that was the big mistake
00:17:25David Hart Smith hitting this huge Saito Bomb
00:17:27hooking crotch high
00:17:29and that's all it took
00:17:32congratulations Hart Dynasty
00:17:37Natalia certainly very happy
00:17:40as the Hart Dynasty win again
00:17:42here on Friday Night Smackdown

00:21:18Matt it was a straight edge intervention
00:21:20well it's our weekly enrichment
00:21:23truth is
00:21:25I don't like you
00:21:30and our truth had heard enough
00:21:34CM Punk with the Friday night affirmations
00:21:36that garbage can was filled with cigarette butts
00:21:39alcohol and prescription pills
00:21:41everything CM Punk disdains
00:21:44well truth said
00:21:46no
00:21:48to the intervention
00:21:49well truth feels that the WWE universe
00:21:51knows right from wrong
00:21:52and they don't need CM Punk
00:21:54to preach right and wrong upon them
00:21:56well that's true isn't it
00:21:57no I disagree
00:21:58everyone needs affirmation
00:21:59from the pastor of purity
00:22:01CM Punk
00:22:03how about the preachy poochos
00:22:09last week I extended
00:22:11a hand
00:22:13to the WWE universe
00:22:14in a much needed intervention
00:22:17you know
00:22:18I don't know if you people know this or not
00:22:20but I'm not the only one
00:22:22who knows that
00:22:23that pills and cigarettes
00:22:25and alcohol are harmful
00:22:28you know medical science has proven this
00:22:32there's a surgeon general put in place
00:22:34to put warning labels
00:22:36on all of these products
00:22:40I guess he's just there to warn the smart people
00:22:42who already know huh
00:22:44well this is my crusade
00:22:48and I will continue
00:22:50my crusade as long as there are people
00:22:52who need help
00:22:54as long as there are people out there
00:22:56who need change
00:22:58in their lives
00:23:04one person in particular
00:23:06I've been helping for quite some time now
00:23:08I'd like to introduce him to the world
00:23:10ladies and gentlemen
00:23:12I give you Luke Gallows
00:23:22that's right
00:23:24some of you may recognize him
00:23:26as Festus
00:23:28but that was a lifetime ago
00:23:30and it's a lifetime
00:23:32that he'd just as soon forget
00:23:34it's a lifetime of
00:23:36torturous drug abuse
00:23:38and neglect
00:23:40you see
00:23:42it started just like it starts for all you people
00:23:44one little pill
00:23:46just one pill
00:23:48to take the edge off
00:23:50one painkiller
00:23:52and then one turns to two
00:23:54two turns to four, four turns to eight
00:23:56so on and so forth
00:23:58and sure his friends
00:24:00his family were there
00:24:02but they enabled him
00:24:04they didn't help him
00:24:06by prodding him from the inside out
00:24:10but then I helped him
00:24:12just like I could help
00:24:14all of you
00:24:20trust me this is just a start
00:24:22this doesn't end here, this begins
00:24:24here and now
00:24:26I will continue to reach out
00:24:28and help those
00:24:30who can't help themselves
00:24:36on December 1st
00:24:38this is scary people
00:24:40pay attention, on December 1st
00:24:42a very dangerous
00:24:44addictive new drug
00:24:46hits the streets
00:24:48now this scares me because
00:24:50it's a socially accepted
00:24:52over the counter drug
00:24:54and it's going to be widely available
00:24:56all over the world
00:25:00and it's scary
00:25:02because it's more dangerous
00:25:04than any prescribed medication
00:25:06it's more harmful than chain smoking
00:25:08an entire carton of unfiltered cigarettes
00:25:10it is more dangerous
00:25:12than corroding your liver
00:25:14with a fifth of gin
00:25:16or vodka
00:25:18and then chasing it
00:25:20with your daddy's favorite beer
00:25:34Jeff Hardy
00:25:36my life
00:25:38my rules
00:25:40and what an appropriate title
00:25:42for a loser
00:25:44who destroyed his life
00:25:46and his career
00:25:48living by his
00:25:50rules
00:25:54and what makes me sick to my stomach
00:25:56is Jeff didn't just ruin
00:25:58his life, he didn't just end his career
00:26:04he ruined the lives
00:26:06of all his fans
00:26:08because he's planted seeds
00:26:10of destruction
00:26:12in all of the people
00:26:14all of the drug addicts like yourself
00:26:16who actually looked up to the charismatic
00:26:18enabler like he was some sort of a prophet
00:26:24well, if you people have any
00:26:26brain cells left
00:26:28if there's anything left
00:26:30of your memory that's not burnt out
00:26:32all you need to know
00:26:34is the last chapter of this DVD
00:26:36is the most important one you need to watch
00:26:38because it tells the whole story
00:26:42it's a cage match between myself
00:26:44and Jeff Hardy
00:26:46where I
00:26:48ended Jeff's career here
00:26:50in the WWE
00:26:52forever
00:26:56I'm the reason
00:26:58he's not here
00:27:02and I know
00:27:04how hard it is to deprogram
00:27:06your weak little brains
00:27:08from all the lies you've been fed over the years
00:27:10but you owe it to yourselves
00:27:12look yourself in the mirror
00:27:14search
00:27:16search inside yourself
00:27:18for that little shred of self respect
00:27:20that might be left and when it comes to this
00:27:22when it comes to this garbage
00:27:26just say no
00:27:28because this
00:27:30this in my hands right here
00:27:34well here comes Jeff Hardy's brother
00:27:36Matt Hardy
00:27:38and Matt has been through an emotional few months
00:27:42weighing in at 236 pounds
00:27:46Matt Hardy
00:27:48Matt Hardy still soldiers on
00:27:50and the WWE universe respects
00:27:52Matt today
00:27:54I'm sure Matt Hardy
00:27:56did not appreciate hearing his brother
00:27:58Jeff Hardy trashed
00:28:00like CM Punk
00:28:06Punk
00:28:08you come out here and preach
00:28:10to each and every one of these people
00:28:12to follow your beliefs
00:28:14like you're some sort of cult leader
00:28:16the thing you didn't get
00:28:18about my brother Jeff Hardy
00:28:20is that he's a free spirit
00:28:22and sure
00:28:24he's got his flaws
00:28:26like we all do
00:28:28even you
00:28:30but you only targeted him
00:28:32because he wouldn't follow your rhetoric
00:28:34he wouldn't follow your nonsense
00:28:36and other than demonizing my brother
00:28:38for his lifestyle
00:28:40you don't know anything
00:28:42about Jeff Hardy
00:28:48I don't know anything about Jeff
00:28:50what I know about Jeff is that if he listened to me
00:28:52if he searched and found the straight edge
00:28:54inside of himself
00:28:56instead of living for the moment
00:28:58he'd have more of a future
00:29:00crawl out of a bottle
00:29:04and if you would come off your soapbox
00:29:06for a moment CM Punk
00:29:08maybe you wouldn't be the
00:29:10former straight edge champion
00:29:12well here we go
00:29:14a match is scheduled between
00:29:16Matt Hardy and CM Punk
00:29:20now CM Punk has lit the fire
00:29:22a fan of flames within the belly
00:29:24of Friday Night's Lifeblood
00:29:26Matt Hardy
00:29:28Matt Hardy can be
00:29:30so defiant and determined
00:29:32he's got to be
00:29:34a champion
00:29:36he's got to be a champion
00:29:38he's got to be a champion
00:29:40so defiant and determined
00:29:42can he prevail against the
00:29:44straight edge superstar
00:29:46we'll find out when Smackdown returns
00:29:49We're back here on Friday Night Smackdown
00:29:51you're watching Matt Hardy going
00:29:53one on one against the straight edge superstar
00:29:55CM Punk
00:29:57and right now it's all Matt Hardy
00:29:59Matt Hardy is taking exception
00:30:01to CM Punk's banter
00:30:03with regards to Jeff Hardy and of course
00:30:05the great new three disc set
00:30:07that's out, I have an advance copy
00:30:09We are some really, really cool matches.
00:30:11One of the most exciting superstars in WWE history, Jeff Hardy.
00:30:14Well, you heard Punk, you know what his favorite matches on that DVD.
00:30:19The match where he retired Jeff Hardy.
00:30:21Matt Hardy on his back now, Jeff's brother.
00:30:25Listen, say what you want about CM Punk.
00:30:27He is a three-time former World's Heavyweight Champion.
00:30:31A two-time Money in the Bank ladder match winner.
00:30:35That has TLC implications.
00:30:36Absolutely, you know Punk's got his eyes on the TLC pay-per-view.
00:30:40Two weeks from this Sunday.
00:30:42Ooh, and Matt Hardy, perhaps rolled the dice there.
00:30:47Found the steel ring post, a roll up from CM Punk, and a kick out.
00:30:51I just don't know what the big deal, why is everyone against CM Punk?
00:30:55Punk is just giving an admirable service, free of charge.
00:30:58Just telling people how to live their lives.
00:31:00It's a sermon on the mount each and every Friday night.
00:31:03And Punk went right into that side effect.
00:31:06I've read that book, it's a great book, I read it every day.
00:31:08And now Hardy, going for the win, and a two count.
00:31:12CM Punk was on action this past Monday night on Raw.
00:31:16Jesse, the governor of Ventura, made the match, Punk versus John Cena.
00:31:20What a clash that was.
00:31:21And Hardy showing the ill effects of what seems to be a damaged left shoulder.
00:31:29It's been a busy week for Punk, Survivor Series, Monday Night Raw, and
00:31:32now here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:31:36Let's talk about the undeniability, unbreakable Matt Hardy.
00:31:40Speaking of which,
00:31:41how about what Hardy went through last Friday night on SmackDown?
00:31:45As he goes for the cover here, and a victory.
00:31:48Hooking Punk's right leg, and no.
00:31:50I mean, think about it, Matt Hardy faced off against Batista,
00:31:53took three spine busters and a Batista bomb, and is still here tonight.
00:31:58And then 48 hours later, went to the Survivor Series, and yes,
00:32:01this is why the WWE Universe falls in love with Matt Hardy.
00:32:06Matt Hardy, a leg drop.
00:32:08The former United States Champion has CM Punk in all sorts of trouble here.
00:32:12And, Festus down on Luke Gallows.
00:32:17That's Luke Gallows now.
00:32:18Festus is long gone.
00:32:20This is a clear mind, and a clear and present danger here on SmackDown.
00:32:30You knew Punk had ulterior motives bringing Luke Gallows here.
00:32:33Punk sponsored Gallows.
00:32:35And now it's Gallows.
00:32:37Gallows endured a lifetime of abuse and neglect, and
00:32:39CM Punk is just there in a missionary role.
00:32:42And now Gallows is dishing out a lot of pain punishment.
00:32:47Needless to say, I do believe it's a disqualification due to the outside-
00:32:50No, thanks for that.
00:32:52Hey, listen.
00:32:52That's enough.
00:32:53That's enough.
00:32:54You don't think CM Punk had this planned the whole time, really?
00:32:56No, no, I really don't.
00:32:58Honestly, I don't think CM Punk needs this.
00:33:00Well, right now, Luke Gallows is holding Matt Hardy, and
00:33:03what does Punk need to do here?
00:33:06This is what the straight-edge lifestyle can give you.
00:33:09You, too, can be like Luke Gallows if you live the clean lifestyle.
00:33:13You really consider this a clean lifestyle?
00:33:17Look what they're doing to Matt Hardy.
00:33:19It's competition.
00:33:21It's not competition.
00:33:27It's an assault.
00:33:27Let me ask you this.
00:33:30Who's standing tall right now?
00:33:31The straight-edge guys or the other guy?
00:33:34Who do you want to be with?
00:33:35Who do you want to hang out with?
00:33:37I'm hanging out with Gallows and Punk.
00:33:39Not you.
00:33:40Look at Punk.
00:33:41Continuing the brutality on Matt Hardy.
00:33:50This is the straight-edge lifestyle?
00:33:52This is honesty?
00:33:53This is- Clarity of mind.
00:33:55This is fair play?
00:33:56Clarity of purpose, Todd.
00:34:02Well, if the purpose was to decimate Matt Hardy.
00:34:06Look at this.
00:34:06This is very unique.
00:34:07I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before.
00:34:10You should have listened.
00:34:12Look at him, covering the eyes and fingers.
00:34:15There's more?
00:34:19Put him down.
00:34:21From the Gallows pole, so to speak.
00:34:24Again, this is what straight-edge can do for you.
00:34:38Sam Punk grinning ear to ear.
00:34:41An intervention, so to speak, against Matt Hardy.
00:34:46And Matt Hardy was on his way to a victory.
00:34:48Let's make that perfectly clear.
00:34:50It looks like here Sam Punk is directing traffic.
00:34:52Trying to send a message to everyone
00:34:54that wants to live a licentious lifestyle.
00:34:56Look at this.
00:34:57A unique maneuver that I'm sure we'll be seeing
00:35:00for Friday nights to come.
00:35:02Well, Sam Punk claims to be the role model the world needs.
00:35:05And I'm happy for Luke Gallows.
00:35:07I'm glad he found his way, all because of Sam Punk.
00:35:12Ladies and gentlemen, Sam Punk.
00:35:15Ladies and gentlemen, we are not done at all.
00:35:18No rest for the wicked.
00:35:20After a hellacious battle of the Survivor Series,
00:35:22the pressure intensifies.
00:35:24Is the Undertaker physically prepared?
00:35:26Or can Chris Jericho do something he's never done before?
00:35:29Defeat the Deadman.
00:35:31It's our main event tonight on SmackDown.
00:35:36This Monday, his unexpected rise
00:35:39has gotten the attention of the champs.
00:35:42Now, how far will Raw's newest breakthrough superstar, Sheamus,
00:35:45go for gold?
00:35:47Plus, Raw is guest hosted by blockbuster movie star,
00:35:50Verne Troyer.
00:35:52Raw, live this Monday at 9, only on USA.
00:35:58Ladies and gentlemen, it's the day after Thanksgiving,
00:36:00and www.com reveals which superstars have earned
00:36:03the dubious distinction of being the biggest turkeys
00:36:06in WWE history.
00:36:09You've got to be in there, Stryker.
00:36:11Plus, a lighthearted look at the most festive food spikes
00:36:14in sports entertainment history.
00:36:16Well, another SmackDown moment for the first time ever.
00:36:19The Intercontinental Championship is on the line
00:36:22as champion John Morrison defends against the conniving
00:36:25and slick Eric Escobar with the political and shrewd
00:36:28lady friend, consultant to the general manager of SmackDown,
00:36:31Vickie Guerrero, by Escobar's side.
00:36:34Well, we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
00:36:36He's Matt Stryker, I'm Todd Grisham,
00:36:38and as despicable as the actions of CM Punk,
00:36:41Michelle McCool and Layla haven't been much better.
00:36:43I think that despicable's a strong word.
00:36:45Hang on a second.
00:36:47Women's champion Michelle McCool and Layla El
00:36:49just trying to get Mickie James' attention.
00:36:52Hey, Piggy.
00:36:54Piggy.
00:36:56Hey, Piggy James, over here.
00:36:59Michelle McCool had a farm, E-I-E-I-O,
00:37:04and on that farm she had a pig, E-I-E-I-O,
00:37:08with an oink, oink here, an oink, oink there,
00:37:10here an oink, there an oink everywhere.
00:37:13♪♪♪
00:37:18Don't call, folks.
00:37:21Mickie James reduced to tears after that
00:37:24what some would call a hurtful display.
00:37:26For me, I just kind of wanted to watch Charlotte's win.
00:37:28Joining me now is Mickie James.
00:37:32Mickie, I understand that this is a sensitive subject for you,
00:37:36but how are you feeling after being picked on
00:37:39over the past few weeks?
00:37:41How am I feeling?
00:37:43Wow, I mean...
00:37:45You know, Josh, I'll just say this.
00:37:48It doesn't matter what hurtful things they say about me,
00:37:52and it really doesn't matter
00:37:54what type of juvenile pranks they try to pull.
00:37:58The fact is, I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:01I just hope Layla and Michelle realize that I belong here.
00:38:07I worked very hard to get here,
00:38:11and I am not leaving SmackDown.
00:38:15♪♪♪
00:38:20Well, the rebirth of Batista
00:38:23has ignited the Animals' quest for the world's title.
00:38:26Will it be a baptismal by fire?
00:38:28Kane versus Batista.
00:38:30Who becomes the number one contender
00:38:32to the Undertaker's World Heavyweight Championship?
00:38:35We find out tonight.
00:38:37♪♪♪
00:38:41The scariest thing is, you know,
00:38:44you're gonna get knocked out from what you're about to do.
00:38:47♪♪♪
00:38:53♪♪♪
00:38:56Jeff Hardy is absolutely fearless.
00:38:59Things that scare other people are what Jeff thrives on.
00:39:03I just have to sit back and watch.
00:39:06You gotta be kidding me!
00:39:07Jeff Hardy, my life, my rules.
00:39:11He did what so many people said he could never do.
00:39:14Jeff Hardy has shocked the world!
00:39:17Now, enter the extreme world of Jeff Hardy.
00:39:21Witness the struggle.
00:39:23I knew I had nothing.
00:39:24You know, I knew everything was gone.
00:39:27The redemption.
00:39:29He's overcome so much.
00:39:31I made a mistake.
00:39:32I paid for it.
00:39:33And the triumph.
00:39:35Yes!
00:39:39Jeff Hardy has finally realized the dream of a lifetime!
00:39:44Of the enigmatic superstar.
00:39:47It's been one hell of a ride, hasn't it?
00:39:50Jeff Hardy, my life, my rules.
00:39:53Live for the moment, this Tuesday.
00:39:56And now, the WWE Smack of the Night, brought to you by AutoZone.
00:40:00Because doing it yourself doesn't mean you have to do it alone.
00:40:03Get in the zone, AutoZone.
00:40:06Rey Mysterio chose to embarrass me.
00:40:11No one embarrasses me.
00:40:12No one disrespects me.
00:40:14What exactly constitutes disrespecting you?
00:40:21Does interrupting you embarrass you?
00:40:24Because I want to see what you're going to do about it.
00:40:30Well, Batista obviously wanted nothing to do with someone his own size here tonight.
00:41:01And the winner of this match is...
00:41:10Chloe is a number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:41:16Making his way to the ring from Washington, D.C.
00:41:19Weighing in at 290 pounds...
00:41:22Batista!
00:41:25Well, Batista coming off a Survivor Series dissection of his former best friend, Rey Mysterio.
00:41:32You talk about betrayal, Matt.
00:41:34Batista and Rey Mysterio sums it up.
00:41:37It's a choice of words.
00:41:38Why is it betrayal and jealousy?
00:41:40Why can't we say that Batista is passionate or dedicated?
00:41:44Why do you have to choose these negative words when talking about Batista?
00:41:49Well, Batista said no one will disrespect him.
00:41:54Had a chance to do something about Kane embarrassing him on Monday night.
00:41:58Chose to walk away.
00:42:00You never know what's going through the mind of the altered beast who is so passionate.
00:42:04Wants to become World's Heavyweight Champion more than anything.
00:42:08And tonight is Dave Batista's opportunity to get one step closer.
00:42:24And weighing in at 323 pounds...
00:42:28Kane!
00:42:30Well, ladies and gentlemen, The Undertaker has said one of the few things that warms his dark heart
00:42:36is fighting against his brother, Kane.
00:42:39Undertaker could get that opportunity at tables, ladders, and chairs two weeks from this Sunday
00:42:44if Kane can beat The Animal here tonight.
00:42:47You are looking at a demented human being in Kane
00:42:51who as a boy watched his home burn down.
00:42:54All that he loved as a child was taken away.
00:42:57There was only one black glove in the rubble, in the soot.
00:43:01That is the black glove that Kane wears on his right hand.
00:43:07What a contest this should be, ladies and gentlemen.
00:43:09Batista's DVD, I Walk Alone, which is available now, has some of Batista's greatest matches.
00:43:14One of those matches is Kane vs. Batista from Armageddon.
00:43:21BATISTA! BATISTA! BATISTA!
00:43:25BATISTA! BATISTA! BATISTA!
00:43:28BATISTA! BATISTA! BATISTA!
00:43:32BATISTA! BATISTA! BATISTA!
00:43:35BATISTA! BATISTA! BATISTA!
00:43:38We talk about tension and Kane going right for the juggler right off the beginning here.
00:43:45Batista playing coy.
00:43:48Or some would say backing down.
00:43:53See, there's a reason for everything.
00:43:57Here we go, it's a clash of the titans, Batista vs. Kane,
00:44:01to determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:44:05Let's be reminded of how important the World Heavyweight Championship is to both these superstars.
00:44:11Kane has never held the World Heavyweight Championship,
00:44:15whereas Batista is a four-time World Heavyweight Champion and wants to get back.
00:44:20Kane has won the WWE title, the ECW championship,
00:44:24multi-time has won the tag team title.
00:44:28Like you said, looking for his first World Heavyweight Championship.
00:44:31He could claim the number one contendership here tonight.
00:44:35Well, let's analyze here.
00:44:37What type of matchup would Kane be for the World Heavyweight Champion for The Undertaker at TRC?
00:44:43You're asking me? You're the expert.
00:44:45It would be in your face.
00:44:48It would be two behemoths colliding.
00:44:50It would be a plenty of power, a lot of fury, a lot of rage.
00:44:54Let's speculate.
00:44:55Perhaps no one knows The Undertaker better than his own brother Kane.
00:44:59It's one of the few opponents that can stand eye to eye and toe to toe with the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:45:04But then again, that mental anguish and instability may be detrimental versus The Undertaker.
00:45:13What kind of strategy do you see happening in this match?
00:45:15The one we're watching right now, Batista versus Kane.
00:45:18Well, Batista is used to using his power,
00:45:20and I do believe that Batista's power is comparable to that of the Big Red Monster.
00:45:26It's power versus power, size versus size here tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:45:31The difference is going to be the mentality.
00:45:34Is Kane truly that unstable?
00:45:37Is Batista's rage going to cloud the animal's judgment?
00:45:40I think it's Batista that's unstable.
00:45:42If you saw what he did to Rey Mysterio at Survivor Series, a cover here.
00:45:46The match was stopped. Batista didn't even try and cover Rey Mysterio.
00:45:51In all honesty, the hold harmless agreement was firmly in place.
00:45:54Batista was neither legally nor financially responsible for any damage to Rey Mysterio.
00:46:00Batista completely indemnified.
00:46:03The Batista-Undertaker matchup would be extremely interesting
00:46:08because of Batista's strength and Batista's knowledge and experience of The Undertaker.
00:46:13But again, Batista's rage may work against him if Batista faces The Undertaker.
00:46:19Well, last week we saw the damage the Brothers of Destruction could do together.
00:46:22Can you imagine what Kane and The Undertaker could do to each other?
00:46:27Listen, the past is the past. We're talking about here and now.
00:46:30And Batista barely got the shoulders down on one count.
00:46:35It's going to take more than that to keep the big red machine on his back.
00:46:41You heard Kane on Monday Night Raw say,
00:46:43Please, Batista, please make an example out of me.
00:46:47Okay, careful what you wish for in the holiday season.
00:46:50Look at the way Batista's hands are.
00:46:51See that? That's rubbing right behind the ear.
00:46:53Press your own finger behind your ear.
00:46:54You feel that hard part right there?
00:46:56Imagine Batista squeezing on that.
00:46:58Cutting off the flow of blood to your brain.
00:47:07Batista has said that The Undertaker is his.
00:47:11No one will ever be able to take him down.
00:47:13No one will ever be able to take him down.
00:47:16Batista has said that The Undertaker is his.
00:47:19No one will stop him.
00:47:21But Kane has that very opportunity tonight.
00:47:24A win here for the big red machine.
00:47:26And we'll see Undertaker versus Kane at TLC.
00:47:31Batista very wise to hold the top rope.
00:47:33Whereas it looked as if Kane was going for a lethal choke slam.
00:47:39Very smart there.
00:47:42Right to the knees. Take them out, Batista.
00:47:44Look out. Batista.
00:47:46Can he get him up?
00:47:47Trying for the Batista Bomb.
00:47:48But instead, it's Kane who's standing tall.
00:47:53You know, there aren't many opponents that Batista has to look up to.
00:47:56Is Kane going to turn the tables?
00:48:00If anyone knows a counter to the Batista Bomb, it's going to be Batista.
00:48:03Different from a regular powerbomb because it's the animal doing it.
00:48:06And he sits and falls with it.
00:48:08Which makes it so much more devastating.
00:48:10How about the strategy here by the animal to target Kane's left knee?
00:48:13Well, he alluded to it earlier.
00:48:14It's going to be the mentality that is going to be the X Factor in this match.
00:48:18Wow!
00:48:19Right now, Batista is certainly proving mentally superior.
00:48:23Kane right now being physically dominated by the animal Batista.
00:48:27Can he continue?
00:48:30We're back here on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:48:31You're watching a number one contender's match for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:48:36Kane versus Batista.
00:48:38One of these men will head to TLC to face off against The Undertaker.
00:48:42While we were away, Batista using the tools of the trade.
00:48:46This is a steel post and a human being's knee.
00:48:50Just watch.
00:48:53That steel post hitting against those tendons in the back of your knee.
00:48:57Batista really bringing the pain.
00:49:00Of course, the fact that this is a number one contender's match,
00:49:02the official's discretion is the only reason that Batista does not disqualify.
00:49:06Seven or eight big shots to the knee delivered from Batista with venom.
00:49:12And right now, Kane, let's be honest, being manhandled.
00:49:15You have to believe somewhere the ominous eye of the World Heavyweight Champion, The Undertaker,
00:49:21is fixed upon this match.
00:49:22At the same time, the mental mastermind, Chris Jericho, is certainly aware as well.
00:49:30Jericho will face The Undertaker later here tonight on SmackDown.
00:49:34And you know The Deadman is very keen on this match.
00:49:39Who do you think The Undertaker would prefer to see at TLC?
00:49:42Well, you brought it up.
00:49:43The Undertaker's exact words were only two things bring joy to The Undertaker's dark heart.
00:49:48One is to stand alongside his brother Kane.
00:49:51The other is to stand toe-to-toe with his brother Kane.
00:49:56Right now, it's Batista who's continuing to stomp away on the Big Red Machine.
00:50:02If this continues, it'll be Batista versus Undertaker.
00:50:06By the way, this is gonna upset The Undertaker
00:50:08because Batista is going to take away the opportunity if Batista's victorious.
00:50:12Either way, you have a very angry and demonic World Heavyweight Champion to deal with at TLC.
00:50:20Tables, ladders, chairs, and tables, ladders, and chairs, TLC.
00:50:24Super match.
00:50:27We hope to find more answers than questions tonight.
00:50:31We're gonna find out who the number one contender will be momentarily.
00:50:34It looks right now like it's the animals to lose.
00:50:40Kane, so sinister, vile, and vicious.
00:50:47Can he dig deep in his cold, dark soul?
00:50:56And how about that for a big boot?
00:50:58It's a game changer.
00:51:00It's a game winner.
00:51:02Todd, Kane needed that.
00:51:03Kane needed to end the match right there.
00:51:06That left knee of Kane is really hurting.
00:51:08Take a look at this big boot, but watch Kane's left leg, and watch Kane hold the top rope.
00:51:14Kane needed the support of the top rope.
00:51:17Well, bad knee or not, Kane now is rolling the dice from a tough turnbuckle.
00:51:23And Batista able to roll out of the way.
00:51:26And then a spear.
00:51:27The animal with a spear.
00:51:29Is he headed to TLC?
00:51:31No.
00:51:33Batista was wise to hook the injured left leg.
00:51:36Makes it even more difficult for the giant Kane to kick out.
00:51:39And why would Kane decide with a bum leg like that to jump off the top rope?
00:51:45Kane is a storied veteran.
00:51:47Kane must have seen something as far as ring positioning goes.
00:51:49Trying for a psychological slam.
00:51:51Delivers it, but you can see the pain going through Kane.
00:51:54And a two.
00:51:55And a two.
00:52:00And I think deep down, Kane may in fact be enjoying this.
00:52:03He enjoys inflicting punishment.
00:52:05And on some level, I think he enjoys taking the punishment.
00:52:11Kane will try this again.
00:52:13And he cannot.
00:52:19You can feel the chill come over the arena.
00:52:22The hand will come high.
00:52:24Chokeslam imminent.
00:52:29Will Kane be headed to TLC to face his brother, The Undertaker,
00:52:33for the World Heavyweight title?
00:52:35Whoa.
00:52:41And Kane face first into the top turnbuckle.
00:52:43And the damage continues.
00:52:45Again, I've said it before.
00:52:46It's a matter of inches and seconds.
00:52:49And now, Batista thriving.
00:52:54As it comes down here for Kane's title aspirations.
00:52:58Will we see a 300-pound Batista bomb?
00:53:02Whoa.
00:53:04A little turnabout there as Kane goes after the left leg of Batista.
00:53:08And now up and down.
00:53:10A chokeslam.
00:53:12Kane hooks Batista's leg.
00:53:15One, two.
00:53:16Whoa.
00:53:17And that was as close as it gets.
00:53:20The old handbook says that anytime a superstar's appendage touches
00:53:24or is underneath the bottom rope, the count must be stopped.
00:53:27Batista knows that.
00:53:30And that was the only way out for Batista
00:53:32after Kane delivered a chokeslam from about seven feet in the air.
00:53:36And this is brilliant.
00:53:37Look at what Batista's done.
00:53:39He's rolled out of the ring and is taking valuable time to convalesce.
00:53:44That may have been Kane's moment.
00:53:47Batista had been almost in complete control of Batista.
00:53:54Over the barricade.
00:53:59These two behemoths continue to fire away now outside of the ring.
00:54:09Did you see that?
00:54:10Look at that.
00:54:11Look at how shrewd and cunning Batista is.
00:54:13Batista was able to use the barricade to shield himself from the official.
00:54:17Hold on.
00:54:18The count is at eight here.
00:54:20It's at nine.
00:54:21Can Kane get back in the ring?
00:54:23No, he can't.
00:54:24Batista's going to TLC.
00:54:26Yeah.
00:54:27The winner of this match as a result of a count out
00:54:30and the number one contender, Batista.
00:54:36It was a count out, but that'll do, ladies and gentlemen.
00:54:40Batista outlasted Big Red Machine.
00:54:43Well, the official was in the ring counting.
00:54:45Batista knows that.
00:54:46Batista behind the barricade seemed to use a chair
00:54:49or some other type of utilization of an object
00:54:53to gain the count out victory.
00:54:55Imagine the carnage that's coming in TLC time.
00:54:59Let's watch what exactly happened.
00:55:02Kane reversed and sent Batista over the barricade.
00:55:06Now watch.
00:55:07Batista realizes there's a chair there.
00:55:09Batista's going to use the chair right there.
00:55:11The referee in the background cannot see that.
00:55:15Batista targeted the left knee of Kane,
00:55:17the knee that had suffered so much damage throughout this match.
00:55:21And you can see that Batista feels,
00:55:24hey, I got away with this one,
00:55:26but I'm headed to TLC two weeks from this Sunday.
00:55:30So it'll be the dead man defending his World Heavyweight Championship
00:55:34against Batista.
00:55:35But tonight, the phenom faces a man
00:55:37who claims to be the best in the world at what he does.
00:55:41One half of the unified tag team champions.
00:55:44It's The Undertaker and Chris Jericho tonight.
00:55:48Let it roll, let it roll.
00:55:49I'm unstoppable.
00:55:51Let it roll, let it roll.
00:55:52I'm unstoppable.
00:55:54Let it roll, let it roll.
00:56:04Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the official consultant
00:56:08to SmackDown, Vickie Guerrero.
00:56:12Vickie Guerrero.
00:56:20Excuse me.
00:56:27Excuse me.
00:56:35It is with great excitement
00:56:39to introduce to you
00:56:41the future Intercontinental Champion
00:56:47and my boyfriend,
00:56:50Erick Escobar.
00:56:53Escobar.
00:56:58I guess dating Vickie Guerrero has its privileges, huh?
00:57:00That's what I'm saying.
00:57:01Whether you feel that Escobar has this title opportunity
00:57:03due to his relationship with the official consultant
00:57:06and lady friend Vickie Guerrero or not,
00:57:08you do have to agree that once the bell rings,
00:57:10it's all in Erick Escobar's hand.
00:57:13You have to say his name.
00:57:15Escobar.
00:57:16Recently, Vickie Guerrero has proved to be
00:57:18quite the distraction for Erick Escobar here in the match.
00:57:21I don't know if it's 100% Erick Escobar.
00:57:26But like it or not, Escobar with the biggest opportunity
00:57:30of his career.
00:57:32One-on-one against John Morrison for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:57:35Does he have a chance?
00:57:37Erick Escobar?
00:57:38Yeah.
00:57:39Absolutely, 100%.
00:57:40The Intercontinental Champion is in severe jeopardy right now.
00:57:51And from Los Ingos, California,
00:57:53weighing in at 224 pounds,
00:57:56here is the Intercontinental Champion,
00:58:01John Morrison!
00:58:07Yeah!
00:58:12Now take this!
00:58:20I'm coming for you!
00:58:24There you see the slow-motion superstar,
00:58:27the Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison.
00:58:30They say that sometimes men don't need introductions.
00:58:33That's the case here tonight for John Morrison.
00:58:38Morrison, the Intercontinental Champion,
00:58:40earlier tonight said,
00:58:41this is gonna be fun.
00:58:42Morrison loves good competition,
00:58:44and Erick Escobar feels he can more than provide that.
00:58:49John Morrison was the captain of his team
00:58:52at a historic Survivor Series.
00:58:54John Morrison fought valiantly against Monday Night Raw's
00:58:58United States Champion, The Miz,
00:59:00and the number one contender to the WWE Championship at TLC,
00:59:03Sheamus.
00:59:04Well, it was a three-on-one match there for a while.
00:59:06It was McIntyre, Sheamus, and The Miz,
00:59:08all against pretty much John Morrison,
00:59:10who held on as long as he could.
00:59:14So it's Morrison versus Erick Escobar.
00:59:18Did I say it right?
00:59:20Yes, man.
00:59:21No.
00:59:24Well, Escobar is certainly suave,
00:59:26and Vickie Guerrero believes that Escobar can be a huge superstar,
00:59:30one of the biggest the world's ever known,
00:59:32because he's bilingual,
00:59:33and being bilingual can be a multimedia publicity machine.
00:59:37But you have to win first, don't you?
00:59:40Absolutely.
00:59:41And now Morrison.
00:59:42Whoa.
00:59:44That'll get Escobar's attention.
00:59:47And some of this.
00:59:48And look at that.
00:59:49The Friday Night Delight landing on his feet.
00:59:57You know, Vickie Guerrero has put her good name
00:59:59on the line for this match.
01:00:02No one can see you.
01:00:03And there's Vickie Guerrero getting involved
01:00:05and providing the distraction Escobar needed.
01:00:08John Morrison didn't want to hit a woman.
01:00:10He was only looking out for Vickie's concern, perhaps.
01:00:12Perhaps Vickie's safety.
01:00:15And now Escobar taking advantage.
01:00:18This is very smart.
01:00:19You won't often see superstars working on John Morrison's back.
01:00:23It's very, very smart.
01:00:24All that abdominal conditioning on the front
01:00:26sometimes can weaken some of those discs in the lower lumbar region.
01:00:30Escobar going for the Intercontinental Championship.
01:00:33Let's not forget that John Morrison's still suffering
01:00:35some bruised ribs from last week's
01:00:37two out of three falls match against Dolph Ziggler.
01:00:43For all of Escobar's fault, some would say,
01:00:45you have to admire the passion and dedication and desire
01:00:49to become the Intercontinental Champion from Eric Escobar.
01:00:53You know, Miguel Cotto lost his match to Manny Pacquiao
01:00:56in the boxing championship.
01:00:58Escobar said, listen, I'm going to be the champion
01:01:00that lifts the spirits of Puerto Rico.
01:01:04Pretty big talk from Escobar,
01:01:06but he's trying to back it up here tonight
01:01:08in another near fall.
01:01:11I like the way Escobar is staying right on top of his opponent,
01:01:14realizing this is a championship match.
01:01:16Yeah, how do you beat John Morrison?
01:01:18So few superstars have figured out how to do that.
01:01:20Submission, pinfall.
01:01:22A little more specific.
01:01:23Teddy Long thinks, at least he said,
01:01:25Eric Escobar does not deserve a title match.
01:01:28But here Escobar is, thanks to Vickie Guerrero.
01:01:32Maybe Teddy feels that Escobar hasn't earned it,
01:01:34and only because Escobar hasn't been on SmackDown very long.
01:01:38Is he right?
01:01:40He's right about the fact that he hasn't been on SmackDown
01:01:43very long, but right now, Escobar's in the match
01:01:45for the Intercontinental Championship.
01:01:47Escobar is holding his own here against John Morrison,
01:01:49the guru of greatness.
01:01:51A man that beat Rey Mysterio over four months ago
01:01:53to earn the Intercontinental title,
01:01:55and hasn't lost it since.
01:01:59Listen, a wise man told me when I first came to the WWE,
01:02:02it's not a cliche, anything can really happen.
01:02:05And a Flying Chuck.
01:02:06I don't remember telling you that.
01:02:08A Flying Chuck there delivered from Morrison,
01:02:10and now are we going to see Starship Pain?
01:02:15Yes, we are!
01:02:18And Eric Escobar,
01:02:20and Eric Escobar's first championship match
01:02:23is not a victorious one.
01:02:26Morrison wins!
01:02:28Here is your winner, and still the Intercontinental Champion,
01:02:33John Morrison!
01:02:39What an effort, and John Morrison shows us week in and week out
01:02:43why he is one of the most decorated and highly touted superstars
01:02:47in the entire WWE.
01:02:49Your Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison.
01:02:53A captivating performance once again by the A-Lister.
01:02:59He came, he saw, and he conquered Eric Escobar,
01:03:03much to the chagrin of Eric's girlfriend,
01:03:07I hate saying it,
01:03:09Vickie Guerrero.
01:03:14She looks disgusting.
01:03:17I think she's pretty.
01:03:19Oh, disgusting, I'm sorry.
01:03:23Week after week,
01:03:26and can you imagine it is?
01:03:30You fail me every time!
01:03:34You don't know who I am!
01:03:37I am Vickie Guerrero,
01:03:39and we, we have done it!
01:03:48Men everywhere know what Eric Escobar is going through.
01:04:00What does this mean for Eric Escobar and Vickie Guerrero?
01:04:08Vickie said, I'm done with you.
01:04:17Eric Escobar! Eric Escobar! Eric Escobar!
01:04:24Well, Chris Jericho's ego
01:04:27will not allow this self-absorbed superstar to rest
01:04:30until he is champion.
01:04:31The Undertaker's pride, passion, and purpose
01:04:34may very well lay Jericho's fears to rest
01:04:37in peace.
01:04:38Undertaker, Jericho, one-on-one tonight.

01:05:45Get out of my sight!
01:05:47You, you make me sick!
01:05:50No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:52I am getting out of your sight.
01:05:53So you know what?
01:05:54You're the one who makes me sick.
01:05:56Yeah, yeah, every time,
01:05:59every time I hold you,
01:06:01I have to go wash my hands.
01:06:03Yeah.
01:06:06Oh, my God.
01:06:07Every time I hug you,
01:06:09oh, makes me want to peel off my skin
01:06:11out of my own body.
01:06:14Oh, not to forget,
01:06:16every time I kiss you,
01:06:19every time I kiss you,
01:06:20I gotta wash my mouth with disinfectant.
01:06:26In other words, Vickie,
01:06:28it's not worth it.
01:06:30We are done.
01:06:33Gracias.
01:06:34Gracias por abrirme los ojos.
01:06:36Esto se acabó.
01:06:43Wow, as things are falling apart here
01:06:46for Eric Escobar and Vickie Guerrero,
01:06:48things really took shape this past Monday on Raw.
01:06:51That's right.
01:06:52Guest host was none other than the Governor Jesse Ventura,
01:06:55and he was in search of WWE's next breakthrough superstar.
01:07:00And now, the Raw Rebound is brought to you by WWE Mobile.
01:07:06Download John Cena's ringtone at m.wwe.com.
01:07:13Ladies and gentlemen,
01:07:15Jesse, the Governor Ventura!
01:07:20Oh, it is great to see Jesse Ventura.
01:07:25I am the independent,
01:07:27and I am the governor that stands
01:07:29for revolution in this country.
01:07:34I am also the one who will bring something completely new
01:07:38to the WWE tonight.
01:07:41There's been too many of the same people week after week
01:07:45that the same ones get the shot at the title.
01:07:51Well, it's time to change that.
01:07:53There's gonna be a series of matches,
01:07:56and to qualify for these matches,
01:07:58you can never have been a world champion.
01:08:02And the winners of those matches
01:08:05will go into what we are calling
01:08:07a Breakthrough Battle Royal.
01:08:10And the winner of this Battle Royal
01:08:12will then be the number one contender.
01:08:17That's the way it is,
01:08:19and that's the way it's gonna be,
01:08:21because I say so.
01:08:23Two more young superstars who have never been...
01:08:26Look out! Randy Orton, what is it?
01:08:28What is... What?
01:08:32RKO.
01:08:35Rules are always made to be broken.
01:08:38You will get a chance at the world title.
01:08:47The object of this, ladies and gentlemen,
01:08:49over the top rope Battle Royal.
01:08:50If you're thrown over the top rope,
01:08:52both feet at the floor, you are eliminated.
01:08:55The last man standing,
01:08:56depending upon which brand he represents,
01:08:59will either face the WWE champion
01:09:01or the world champion.
01:09:04And now it comes down to three.
01:09:06Orton, Sheamus, Kofi Kingston.
01:09:11Whoa!
01:09:12He's still hanging on, though.
01:09:14And now Orton throwing Orton out of his...
01:09:16Out of the Battle Royal.
01:09:17It comes down to two now.
01:09:19It's Sheamus with Kofi, and Sheamus wins it.
01:09:22Sheamus wins the Battle Royal.
01:09:24And now we'll face John Cena
01:09:27for the WWE championship.
01:09:31And I think it's time now
01:09:33to sign the contract.
01:09:37Ladies and gentlemen,
01:09:39the world champion,
01:09:41John Cena.
01:09:44When you sign that paper, you go to war with me.
01:09:47You better be ready to make a statement.
01:09:49I have it right here,
01:09:51the official signature.
01:09:53Three weeks today on TLC,
01:09:56Sheamus and John Cena
01:09:58for the championship.
01:10:02But you know, I think there's a conspiracy, Cena,
01:10:05to keep you champion.
01:10:07You got the look.
01:10:08You do commercials.
01:10:10You do movies.
01:10:11You're the perfect-looking little champion.
01:10:14There was a time I didn't get a title shot
01:10:17because I didn't go with the flow.
01:10:19They don't want that as a champion.
01:10:21They want somebody like you.
01:10:36And guess what?
01:10:39This match will be a table match!
01:10:44Table match!
01:10:58Ladies and gentlemen,
01:10:59here comes the number one contender
01:11:01for the World Heavyweight Championship,
01:11:03Batista, who earned that moniker
01:11:05after defeating Kane earlier here tonight.
01:11:09Batista is on his way to TLC
01:11:11to face the World Heavyweight Champion,
01:11:13The Undertaker.
01:11:16Ladies and gentlemen,

01:11:19it's the Deadman, The Undertaker,

01:11:41Okay.

01:11:56making his way to the ring.
01:11:58Weighing in at 226 pounds,
01:12:00he is one half of the WWE Unified Tag Team Champions,
01:12:06Chris Jericho!
01:12:10Well, Batista may be the number one contender,
01:12:12but Jericho feels that he deserves
01:12:14a championship match against The Undertaker as well,
01:12:17and wants to prove it here tonight
01:12:19in our main event.
01:12:20Well, everybody's looking forward to TLC.
01:12:22That's tables, ladders, and chairs,
01:12:24That's tables, ladders, and chairs,

01:12:40or up, down, left, right, XO, XO,
01:12:43in this match.
01:12:44It's gonna be completely skilled.
01:12:49Jericho, one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions.
01:12:53Jericho and The Big Show will be facing DX
01:12:55in a tables, ladders, and chairs match at TLC.
01:13:00Wild out, Jason!
01:13:02Wild out, Jason!
01:13:04Wild out, Jason!
01:13:25And from Death Valley,
01:13:27and from Death Valley,
01:13:29weighing in at 299 pounds,
01:13:34he is the World Heavyweight Champion,
01:13:40The Undertaker!
01:13:57The Undertaker!
01:14:10The Undertaker!
01:14:20The Undertaker!
01:14:28The Undertaker!
01:14:49The Undertaker!
01:14:58The pulse quickens.
01:15:00The spine tingles
01:15:02as the most intimidating force
01:15:04that WWE has ever known
01:15:06enters the ring.
01:15:28The Undertaker!
01:15:38And that is what Batista must deal with
01:15:42at TLC, the World Heavyweight Champion,
01:15:46The Undertaker.
01:15:48Batista, I know you've got a lot on your mind right now.
01:15:50You're very determined,
01:15:51but what are your thoughts as you look on here
01:15:53at the World Heavyweight Champion, The Undertaker?
01:15:58The Undertaker!
01:16:01Silence speaks as loud as war.
01:16:04The great Sammy Hagar once said that.
01:16:08Sammy Hagar is great.
01:16:12Well, here we go.
01:16:13Jericho wanting to prove that
01:16:15clearly he is the best in the world
01:16:17at what he does.
01:16:18He is the face of SmackDown
01:16:20and deserves a title opportunity
01:16:22against The Undertaker.
01:16:24And the last one-on-one meet
01:16:26from Chris Jericho and The Undertaker.
01:16:28Both superstars left it all in the ring.
01:16:31Both men showed submission prowess
01:16:34as well as an amazing ability
01:16:37to absorb punishment.
01:16:38Let's not forget these two men were in the same ring
01:16:40at Survivor Series,
01:16:41a triple threat match
01:16:42for the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:16:44The Undertaker locked in Hell's Gate
01:16:46on the big show
01:16:47and got the submission victory.
01:16:49Excuse me if I appear tongue-tied,
01:16:51but The Undertaker keeps glaring over here
01:16:53at the number one contender, Batista,
01:16:55as The Undertaker's going old school.
01:16:58And this is not the type of start Jericho wanted.
01:17:01The Undertaker clearly honed in and focused right now.
01:17:07What?
01:17:14And Jericho seems sprawling
01:17:16right into our ring table,
01:17:18our ring announce table.
01:17:21Wow.
01:17:22The Undertaker absolutely dominating right now.
01:17:26Is there a way back for Jericho?
01:17:31We're back here.
01:17:32It's our main event,
01:17:33the World Heavyweight Champion,
01:17:34The Undertaker going one-on-one against Chris Jericho
01:17:37as the number one contender, Batista,
01:17:39looks on here ringside.
01:17:40And I'm amazed
01:17:41because The Undertaker is keeping one eye
01:17:43on his opponent, Chris Jericho,
01:17:44and the other on the number one contender
01:17:47for the World Heavyweight Championship, Batista.
01:17:50Batista earned that number one contendership
01:17:52by beating The Undertaker's brother, Kane,
01:17:55earlier here tonight.
01:17:58It'll be Undertaker and Batista at TLC
01:18:02two weeks from this Sunday.
01:18:04Let's not forget the documented history
01:18:07between these two men.
01:18:08The Undertaker took the World Heavyweight Championship
01:18:11from Batista at WrestleMania XXIII.
01:18:15WrestleMania, of course, belongs to The Undertaker.
01:18:18A perfect 17-0.
01:18:21Before we get there, we have to get to TLC.
01:18:24Can you imagine?
01:18:25Wait a second.
01:18:27Batista left...
01:18:30left our announce table.
01:18:45One...
01:18:48two...
01:18:51three!
01:18:53Batista looking on with a sense of accomplishment there.
01:18:57As The Undertaker turns his attention away from Jericho.
01:19:00Sense of accomplishment.
01:19:01Batista seemingly backed away from The Undertaker,
01:19:04but you never know what's in the mind of The Animal.
01:19:07I know what's on the mind of Jericho here.
01:19:09It's seize the opportunity that was given.
01:19:12Carpe Diem.
01:19:15Batista, I know you're a man of few words.
01:19:17I know that your actions speak louder than words,
01:19:20but please, some insight.
01:19:33As we continue here, our main event,
01:19:36Jericho has officially turned the tables now.
01:19:40I know we've been...
01:19:41Let's be honest, Batista diverted The Undertaker's attention
01:19:44and Jericho now taking advantage.
01:19:46Well, now's the time.
01:19:47Chris Jericho is the first ever undisputed champion.
01:19:51Chris Jericho also has TLC experience.
01:19:54He's been in one-fourth of all the TLC matches in WWE history.
01:20:00Jericho, a five-time world champion,
01:20:02believes he should get the opportunity to make it six.
01:20:06Chris Jericho has held 21 major titles in the WWE,
01:20:10perhaps none more desirable
01:20:12than the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:20:15And Jericho tried to trade shots with The Undertaker.
01:20:18That's always a bad idea.
01:20:22Batista, would another World Heavyweight Championship
01:20:25cement your career,
01:20:27guarantee you a place in the Hall of Fame?
01:20:32Not that you're not already guaranteed a place.
01:20:34And Jericho going for the cover and gets a two-count.
01:20:41And The Undertaker won his World Heavyweight Championship
01:20:44by beating CM Punk in a Hell in a Cell match,
01:20:46has not relinquished it since.
01:20:48Todd, it's very interesting to see the shot.
01:20:51Look at Batista's eyes.
01:20:53Watching, studying, learning.
01:20:56What's going through the mind of the animal right now?
01:20:59Well, The Undertaker called the World Heavyweight Championship
01:21:02the holy grail of the WWE,
01:21:05and Batista has said he'll do anything
01:21:08to get that championship around his waist.
01:21:11This is a new Batista, an altered beast.
01:21:14There is rage, there is passion,
01:21:16and there is also a very intricate mind
01:21:19working in the head of the animal
01:21:22and the number one contender
01:21:23for the World Heavyweight Championship, Batista.
01:21:27You may not want to speak so much for him,
01:21:28but remember, Batista's three feet away from you.
01:21:32Boom! Boom! Boom!
01:21:35Can Jericho beat The Undertaker
01:21:37for the first time in his career?
01:21:39It's not looking good.
01:21:42A perfectly timed dropkick levels The Undertaker.
01:21:46Jericho's shoulders down now.
01:21:49Chris Jericho is using speed and counter-strikes
01:21:53to be in this match and be doing very well
01:21:57against The Undertaker.
01:21:58Pardon me, I am flustered beyond belief.
01:22:00I wonder why you're sitting next to the animal.
01:22:02Jericho on cover again.
01:22:04And you know, Jericho earlier said,
01:22:06basically, if I win tonight,
01:22:07they're gonna be forced to give me a title opportunity.
01:22:10There's no doubt about it.
01:22:11If Jericho can beat The Undertaker here tonight,
01:22:13what kind of message does that send
01:22:15to our general manager, Theodore Law?
01:22:17That's a great question.
01:22:19But before that, we have to determine
01:22:22who will be the World's Heavyweight Champion
01:22:24after TLC.
01:22:31Jericho has made so many outrageous claims
01:22:33over the years.
01:22:34He's said that he's the true phenom in the WWE
01:22:37and that he's not intimidated by the dead man.
01:22:42Doesn't appear to be at the moment.
01:22:47What about now?
01:22:51Great counter by The Undertaker,
01:22:52but ask yourself, would The Undertaker be able to do that
01:22:55if it were Batista and not Chris Jericho?
01:23:01This is our main event on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:23:04The Undertaker, the World Heavyweight Champion,
01:23:07who will face Batista at TLC right now,
01:23:10is facing one half of the unified tag team champions,
01:23:13Chris Jericho.
01:23:20Let's not forget that the Batista
01:23:22and The Undertaker match will be
01:23:24for the coveted World's Heavyweight Championship.
01:23:27And with snake eyes there from Jericho,
01:23:29who seems to have been discombobulated,
01:23:31and if he wasn't before that boot,
01:23:33he is now, followed by a leg drop.
01:23:35The Undertaker has Jericho's shoulders down
01:23:38with a kick out for Chris Jericho.
01:23:44The beginning of the end, perhaps.
01:23:48And the Merchant of Destruction has it locked in.
01:23:51Jericho, Batista, and The Undertaker
01:23:55Jericho battling out.
01:23:59Never count Chris Jericho out of a match
01:24:01until the bell rings.
01:24:09Jericho, a running bulldog on The Undertaker.
01:24:12What does the face of SmackDown have in store
01:24:15for The Phenom here?
01:24:17A lion's salt.
01:24:19Jericho has to go for a cover here.
01:24:26Jericho up and down a chokeslam,
01:24:30and The Phenom signals the end of this match.
01:24:34Could this be the fate for Batista come TLC?
01:24:40The animal in the ring.
01:24:42A chop blocks his Undertaker down.
01:24:45The number one contender biding his time.
01:24:49Batista letting his actions speak louder
01:24:52than his no words here at commentary.
01:24:55And a codebreaker from Jericho.
01:24:57This match is over, by the way.
01:24:59Jericho has been disqualified due to the outside interference,
01:25:02but the story now looms in the ring.
01:25:09This is not good.
01:25:11For whom?
01:25:13For Jericho.
01:25:15This is not good.
01:25:17For whom?
01:25:18It's great for Batista.
01:25:21Right across the spine.
01:25:24Remember, at TLC, chairs are legal.
01:25:39Batista.
01:25:42Come on.
01:25:51I've never seen the World Heavyweight Champion
01:25:54at such a disadvantage.
01:26:11Come on.
01:26:21Let's get a second look at it.
01:26:23If you can endure it, if not, turn away.
01:26:25The animal senses something
01:26:27that triggers Batista to enter the frame.
01:26:30Does Batista know something that we do not?
01:26:33Or perhaps only this was on the animal's mind.
01:26:42Come on.
01:26:49In two weeks' time,
01:26:51that man, the animal Batista,
01:26:53may very well become
01:26:56your next World Heavyweight Champion.
