00:00The following content is scheduled for one fall.
00:20On the way to the ring, from Nesquihoning, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 300 pounds,
00:28Randy Orton!
00:33And the opponent, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds, Randy Orton!
00:43Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to RAW, coming to you live tonight, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
00:50There's so much wrestling history here in Calgary, JR, and there's gonna be some more made here tonight.
00:55No question, King, the RAW superstars never fail to create history wherever they perform.
01:02And these Calgary fans are going to leave here tonight with some amazing memories.
01:08That went nowhere.
01:14Oh, here we go. What a jerk. How about continuing the match?
01:19I don't think he's in any hurry to end this one, King. And I don't think the crowd wants it to end either.
01:33What a disgusting, despicable human being is Smith. You're not going to get him with that one.
01:48I think I know who's going to win this match, but I don't want to say. I'm afraid I'll jinx it.
01:52Come on, King. Don't tell me you're superstitious.
01:56Of course not, JR. I'm not. Here's the cover, JR.
01:59Why?
02:00I can't believe he thought he was going to get the pin.
02:11I tell you, King, sometimes I get exhausted just watching these superstars compete.
02:17I know what you mean, JR. I don't think most people appreciate what incredible athletes these WWE superstars really are.
02:23You've got to have some excellent conditioning to be able to do what they do.
02:28Well, that's the name of the game, JR. You've got to keep moving. No dog ever peed on a moving car.
02:33Oh, that's a lovely image, King. I'd ask you where you come up with this stuff, but I don't think I want to know that, frankly.
02:44He saw that one coming.
02:56I thought I'd pick the winner before the match started, JR, but now I'm having second thoughts.
03:02Well, I'm glad to hear that, King. Usually I wonder if you've even had first thoughts.
03:13A reversal. Can he capitalize on it?
03:21This capacitive crowd is solidly behind their superstar. Look at this.
03:27Wow. Could you be any more biased, JR? How about some fair and balanced commentary?
03:42He countered that and made it look easy.
03:50There's the pin! His opponent telegraphed that one.
04:05I know Snitsky's not the most popular guy on the roster, but you've got to admit that watching a one-
04:11What a reversal.
04:21I think it's pretty obvious which way this one's going to go, JR.
04:24Well, from my perspective, this is still anybody's match.
04:29I'd like to see things from your perspective, JR, but I'd have to get my head out of my rear end first.
04:34And Lord knows it's been up there for so long that that would be no easy feat.
04:41He reversed it!
04:46He's got the crowd and his opponent in the palm of his hand.
04:50That can change in an instant, especially if you let your opponent catch his breath.
05:02Orton calls himself the Le-Excellent Counter. What ring presence.
05:15I've been looking forward to this match all night, JR. I can't believe it's finally underway.
05:20This has been a hotly anticipated contest, and as far as I'm concerned, it's living up to the hype.
05:27No question about that, JR. The fans certainly seem to be into it, that's for sure.
05:31And when it comes down to it, that's all that matters.
05:43Jesus! Oh no! What's he doing now?
05:46My God, what a pump-handle slam!
05:53He turned the tables on his opponent with that one!
06:04It's matches like this that make this the greatest job in the world, JR.
06:08Absolutely, King. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
06:22Randy Orton is such an ingrate, JR. As soon as he got a taste of success, he turned on Tripp.
06:28The quickest way to lose a match is to underestimate your opponent.
06:31I don't think he's underestimating anyone, King. I think he's making it clear that he refuses to be intimidated.
06:38There's the reversal!
06:48I know you think Randy Orton's great, JR, but no one's got a higher opinion of him.
06:53Oh my gosh! This could be the finisher!
06:58And there's a little something for the crowd. The best superstars never ignore their fame.
07:04The best superstars also finish off their opponent instead of giving them time to recover.
07:18Well, from the looks of things, it's not hard to tell how this one's gonna go.
07:22What are you talking about, King? I think this is still an extremely competitive match that could go either way.
07:30You know, JR, it's obvious that the only exercise you get is stretching the truth or jumping to conclusions.
07:37Well, judging from the shape I'm in, I don't appear to be doing it.
07:40A textbook reversal there.
07:46He's looking for that finisher, and he can do it here.
07:50It's like he read his opponent's mind!
08:00This is Raw action at its finest. That's why Raw is the number one brand of sports entertainment.
08:08You got that right, JR. You're not gonna see this kind of action on SmackDown.
08:12Not on SmackDown or anywhere else.
08:16There's nothing else out there that can come close to the excitement of seeing the Raw superstars perform live.
08:33I'll be honest with you, King, this is not the way I thought this match would go at all.
08:38Me neither, JR. I guess that just goes to show that anything can happen in the WWE.
08:44I think you hit the nail right on the head, King, and it's that unpredictability that makes it so exciting.
08:59It looks like these superstars are looking for an opening, and the first one to find one will take control of this match.
09:15You've got to ask yourself, how much punishment will these superstars be able to withstand tonight?
09:22I don't know, JR, but I think they're pretty intent on finding out.
09:26They certainly are. I don't know how it's going to end, but I can guarantee you they're going to leave it all in the ring.
09:42This match is going to continue.
09:47The RKO! Did you see that, JR?
09:49You're not going to win a match by insulting your opponent, no, but hitting the crowd behind you can certainly get the adrenaline pumping.
10:08A lot of blood, sweat, and tears have been shed in that very ring, and I think there's going to be a lot more shed here tonight.
10:17No doubt about that, King. These superstars are going to leave it all in the ring.
10:22You can count on that.
10:24These top rope moves are always difference makers for better or worse.
10:34His opponent's down, and now he's sharing a piece of his mind.
10:38He's going to have to eat those words by the end of this match, JR.
10:43Watch out! He reversed it!
10:48The RKO!
10:54Boy, these superstars sure have their hands full here tonight, JR.
10:58They sure do, King. They've got all they can say gracefully.
11:02Looks like someone's heading for the high rent district.
11:06I've got a feeling that this has... I think he's got some evil intentions in mind here, King.
11:12Oh, man! What a huge pump-handle slam!
11:17He's not going to get caught with that one.
11:24He's climbing the turnbuckle! What's he up to?
11:27He can hit his finisher right now!
11:34These competitors. No one's giving an inch.
11:46The intent is clear, JR.
11:49The intensity of these superstars is unbelievable!
11:52No doubt about that, King. The fans are getting their money's worth here tonight.
12:05Boy, these superstars have impressed the heck out of me here tonight.
12:09Same here, King. We've stepped up our game.
12:13Boy, these superstars have impressed the heck out of me here tonight.
12:16Same here, King. We've stepped into a solid match.
12:19We're seeing a great one unfold.
12:31I don't think these superstars have any intention of taking it easy on each other tonight.
12:36That's not what they signed up for, King.
12:38And quite frankly, I think these fans would be disappointed if they didn't go all out.
12:44That's easy for the fans to say. They've never set foot inside that ring.
12:48No, but they spend their hard-earned dollars to watch what goes on inside it.
12:53And without that, we'd all be out of a job.
12:57I think I know who's going to win this one, JR.
13:00Oh, really? Enlighten us, King.
13:03Wait a second. Why are you so eager to hear my prediction?
13:07Because I want to know who's going to win.
13:10And nine times out of ten, it's not the superstar you picked.
13:14What?
13:18What?
13:20What?
13:22What?
13:24What?
13:26What?
13:30It looks like they've slowed the match down a little.
13:32I think that's some good strategy right there.
13:34It certainly is. I'm sure they're well-acquainted with the old expression, fools rush in.
13:39Is that why you always seem to be in such a hurry, JR?
13:42I think I've eaten a little too much good Oklahoma barbecue in my day, King, to hurry anywhere.
13:49Three.
13:53Four.
13:55If one of these superstars starts to build momentum, it could be the beginning of the end of this match.
14:03That's right, JR. You don't see a lot of matches won with one or two big moves.
14:07You sure don't. You've got to lay the groundwork first.
14:19I feel like the luckiest guy in the world, JR. I can't believe I actually get paid to do this job.
14:25Well, don't let Eric Bischoff hear you say that, King, or you might wind up having to do it for free.
14:31That's true. Bischoff's so cheap, he won't even tip a canoe.
14:35Eric Bischoff! Eric Bischoff! Eric Bischoff!
14:44These superstars are in terrific shape, and that comes as no surprise whatsoever.
14:50No kidding. If you don't have that conditioning, you're not going to last long in a match.
14:54You sure aren't, and that's only one of the many reasons I try to stay...
14:59Look out! He's setting up his opponent. There it is! The RKO! Man, it's as fast as it is deadly.
15:06We could be looking at a pinfall here, folks.
15:09That was so close to three, he could taste it.
15:17This is a risky move. It could prove to be disastrous.
15:30I don't think I've ever felt more anticipation during a match.
15:33Oh, man! Here it comes, JR! The RKO!
15:39He went straight for the pin. No flies on him.
15:44The referee has called for the bell.
15:48Well, there's no question who won that one, JR.
15:51Not at all, King. The referee counted the pins, and that's all she wrote.
15:55I'm sure not everyone's going to be happy about it.
