00:00Sets up tonight, that man, the most electrified sports entertainer in the world today, the people's champion in a dangerous, drama, bull road match.
00:10He'll get it on with Al Stowe in a heartbeat.
00:19Oh my!
00:20Here's your winner, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 275 pounds, The Rock!
00:32Just listen to the ovation for the people's champion!
00:35Here's your winner, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 275 pounds, The Rock!
00:45And then, look at The Rock, staring a hole right through Al Stowe.
00:48He can feel the intensity of the promo bull right there himself.
00:52Finally, The Rock has come back to Houston!
01:11And these Texans love The Rock!
01:17Jabroni, The Rock realizes what type of match is at hand.
01:22A bull road match, so The Rock says, you've left him with two choices.
01:29The first choice is that The Rock gracefully bow out, walk up the ramp, and you're declared the winner of the match.
01:37The second choice, seen as The Rock is the promo bull, and we are in the great state of Texas.
01:57The Rock figured he'd step down from the ropes, just like this.
02:07Step through the ropes, just like this.
02:16Surrounded by the millions of Rock's fans, The Rock says, he'll just whip your monkey ass all over Houston.
02:29And here we go! The Rock, Al Stowe, a promo bull road match!
02:34And Al Stowe's already hooked up to the bull rope, and The Rock knocks down Al Stowe.
02:39Al Stowe, blaming The Rock for coming between Al and mankind.
02:43I don't buy into that story, Michael Hayes.
02:46And don't forget, JR, you can use the promo bull rope as a weapon.
02:51And The Rock, and Al here on the outside.
02:54Al trying to get some distance, but there's no way that's going to happen.
02:59And Al is pulled back into the steel ring post by The Rock.
03:04He's turned Al Stowe inside out with a clothesline.
03:11Al Stowe, grasping, marched into the office of the happily married couple, Stephanie and Triple H.
03:19Demanded this match.
03:21I was surprised that Triple H and Stephanie gave it to him.
03:24That shot with the bell right to the face knocked down The Rock.
03:27And there's the cover!
03:29And Rock got a shoulder up very quickly there.
03:32It shows you, in my view, just how much Triple H truly hates The Rock.
03:38It's a grand Al Stowe's demand, because Triple H doesn't like anybody making demands on him.
03:49Almost a clothesline like effect there, that bull rope right in the throat of The Rock.
03:53Gotta admit, JR, Al Stowe is taking it to The Great One right now.
03:58And The Rock and Al Stowe on a night where Triple H and Stephanie Helmsley have been in complete charge.
04:04We're a long way from being over here tonight.
04:07A whole lot of live raw left, and who knows what else this unholy union of Stephanie and Triple H are going to conjure up here tonight.
04:16We have literally almost seen it all here.
04:19Don't forget, JR, Stephanie and Triple H said they were in a very giving mood.
04:25Rock being choked down by Al Stowe.
04:27They're going to make everybody's lives miserable and as hellacious as they can here during the holiday season.
04:34And Al Stowe now, he's trying to hang The Rock.
04:38Al Stowe pulling the slack out of that rope, and The Rock's being hung literally, or figuratively, from the highest tree.
04:45And that's one way to bring him down, Rock.
04:47Well, I'll tell you what.
04:48Smackdown was a runaway train last Thursday night.
04:51I'm sure on UPN, it'll be another runaway train this Thursday.
04:54But this has been out of control here tonight, live in Houston.
04:59And again, Al Stowe using that rope, as you pointed out, Michael Hayes, as a weapon.
05:05An ally.
05:07Almost like that rope can become a tag team partner.
05:10Well, how embarrassing would it be for The Rock to be defeated in his own match by Al Stowe?
05:16Well, it's not that losing to Al Stowe isn't embarrassing, because he's a hell of a competitor.
05:20But losing in a Brahma-Volero match might be a little bit embarrassing.
05:25But in any event, The Rock now, hard right hands.
05:31Oh, look out.
05:32Samoan Drop.
05:34The Rock stepped up with a Samoan Drop.
05:35The leg is hooked.
05:36He's up.
05:37Oh, how close was that?
05:38That was very close.
05:40Now, The Rock getting a second win.
05:42Rock building momentum here, taking back over offensively on Al Stowe.
05:49A right hand by The Rock that almost took Al Stowe right out of his boots.
05:54And The Rock now with Al Stowe cornered.
05:58Oh, Al Stowe, did you see?
06:00Al Stowe just, a low blow on the referee.
06:03Oh!
06:04And The Rock's looking for that bell on Stowe, hit him right with it.
06:10And another bell, start ringing your bell, you had to say it.
06:15Al Stowe with that bell shot, right to The Rock, knocking down The Rock.
06:20Al Stowe with that warped mind, there's no telling what he's going to attempt to do here to The Rock.
06:25Al Stowe just took the bull rope off his wrist.
06:28And Al Stowe's got a steel chair, swinging for Rock's head.
06:32And the DDT!
06:34And the DDT!
06:36Oh, and The Rock got still running a chair with the DDT.
06:40And wait a minute, here come the Outlaws.
06:43Oh, badass Billy Gunn.
06:45The Road Dogg just got introduced to the bull rope and the bell.
06:49This rest on the outside.
06:51There goes The Road Dogg.
06:52The Road Dogg on the outside.
06:54The Rock back in charge.
06:57Spinebuster for the People's Champion.
07:00And The Road Dogg's got a chair.
07:02Here comes the most electrifying move in sports entertainment.
07:07The Rock's going to put Al Stowe, a shot!
07:10You hear, right on the back of Rock's head, a steel chair shot by The Road Dogg.
07:16The Road Dogg with a steel chair shot, right to the back of Rock's head.
07:21Come on, don't do that.
07:23You got to kick Rock.
07:25And a kick down.
07:26He did it, he did it!
07:27He did it, he did it!
07:29He came through after that chair shot.
07:33Road Dogg!
07:35Doggy style!
07:38And Mr. Ass with a Famouser.
07:41Mr. Ass got the Famouser.
07:43Al Snow now on top.
07:45There's the referee.
07:47And don't tell me, for God's sakes, Al Snow has upset The Rock and the Bull Rope Man.
07:53Here is your winner, Al Snow!
07:57Damn DX!
07:59Damn Triple H!
08:01Triple H and Stephanie have to be elated.
08:05Al Snow's a man of the match.
08:07He got it.
08:08But The Rock just got screwed by DX.
08:11Damn!
08:12That beat The Rock.
08:13That beat The Rock.
08:14Can you believe it?
08:15You guys, can you believe it?
08:17Get out of the way.
08:18Hunter, can you...
08:20Rock, that...
08:22Now we're going to get it.
08:24It wasn't me.
08:25It wasn't me.
08:26You guys...
08:28Look, look, it's Christmas.
08:30Alright, it's Christmas.
08:31You guys have been doing a pretty good job.
08:33So I'll tell you what.
08:34I'm not going to freak out over this.
08:36I'm going to give you guys a little Christmas bonus right now.
08:38I'm going to give you guys a match tonight.
08:41Oh, man.
08:43No, it's not the Acolytes.
08:45I'm going to do you guys a favor.
08:47The three of you, tonight, against two members of Too Cool.
08:51Handicap.
08:52How's that?
08:53Thanks.
08:54Merry Christmas.
08:55Thanks, man.
08:56Good luck, guys.
08:57Merry Christmas.
08:58Merry Christmas, guys.
08:59I'll tell you what.
09:01If you ever drop water on me again, though,
09:03you'll get the Acolytes every night for a year.
09:06Rock, Merry Christmas.
09:09Enough is enough.
09:10This is not fair to Kane.
09:11It's not fair to me.
09:12Alright, alright.
09:13You're killing my ears.
09:14Alright, already.
09:15I'll tell you what we're going to do.
09:16To mend the fence, we're going to give you what you want.
09:18I'm going to give Kane a shot at the World Wrestling Federation champion tonight.
09:22Kane versus The Big Show.
09:23Are you happy?
09:24Yeah, absolutely.
09:25It's about time.
09:26Merry Christmas.
09:27He's ready.
09:29Oh, by the way, wait a minute.
09:30I forgot one thing.
09:31X-Pac is a very hard guy to buy stuff for for Christmas.
09:33So what I'm going to do is, if Kane loses the match tonight,
09:37you get to spend the holidays with X-Pac.
09:40Oh, great.
09:41You've got to, yeah.
09:42What are you, afraid Kane's going to lose?
09:44You don't think he can do it?
09:45No, I'm very...
09:46Then it's a done deal.
09:47If he can do it, then it's a done deal.
09:49Alright?
09:50Merry Christmas.
09:51Merry Christmas, Tori.
09:53X-Pac's going to love her.
