00:01:00And high above the ring, the ominous steel cage hangs.

00:01:05Later tonight, it will surround the ring.

00:01:08The animal Brock Lesnar will be inside with his turnpike ex-agent, Paul Heyman, here tonight.

00:01:15Paul Heyman's stay here on SmackDown might expire tonight.

00:01:40And the winner, it's a cruiserweight championship title shot at Pennsylvania.

00:01:48Making his way to the ring from San Diego, California, weighing in at 175 pounds, Craig Mysterio.

00:01:56And again, Taz, a lot at stake.

00:01:58The road to WrestleMania continues here tonight.

00:02:01And these cruiserweights wasting a little time of first cover of the matchup.

00:02:05And Noble pops out after the count of two.

00:02:07Backslide.

00:02:07Backslide by Tajiri.

00:02:09Noble pops out again.

00:02:10Again, the winner of this matchup heads to WrestleMania to take on the winner of the Matt Hardy, Billy Kidman

00:02:15cruiserweight title matchup later on tonight.

00:02:18And look at this, bombs away, here's Tajiri with a drop kick to the face of Rey Mysterio.

00:02:24Cover by Tajiri, hook of the leg, and a kick out by Mysterio.

00:02:27It's a tornado style, triple threat, meaning that no Taz, you need it, just go at it.

00:02:32Anything, though, just go at it, all three men vying for a shot.

00:02:36Look at this, and Mysterio treats the legs of Tajiri, breaking up the three count.

00:02:40Exactly, breaking the bridge down.

00:02:42Mysterio cover, and Tajiri kicks out again, Taz.

00:02:45The rules are simple, first person to gain a pinfall or a submission will win the matchup

00:02:50and become the number one contender for the Cruiserweight Championship.

00:02:53We haven't seen Tajiri in several weeks, tending to some business in Japan.

00:02:57He's back here, though.

00:02:58And Mysterio, springboard off the second rope, here's the lateral, press it, Tajiri just kicks out.

00:03:06Mysterio in control yet again, elbow to the side of the head.

00:03:10Mysterio misses with a clothesline to both men, there is the springboard elbow.

00:03:14That's vintage Tajiri right there, Noble just got it on the chops.

00:03:18Cover again on Jamie Noble, two, and Noble gets the shoulder up.

00:03:21It is going to be a wild night.

00:03:23Hulk Hogan is here, ladies and gentlemen.

00:03:25Mr. McMahon is expected, and remember, McMahon called Hulk Hogan a coward last week right here on SmackDown.

00:03:33Right there, Tajiri's shoulder first into that steel post.

00:03:36Jamie Noble, oh, there it goes.

00:03:38Mysterio, they've got still one of those bar fights where they slide the guy in the bar,

00:03:42like they're tossing, you know, and they slide the guy in the bar.

00:03:45Yeah, I got it.

00:03:46And Tajiri in control, Noble whipped off the ropes, went for the hip top.

00:03:49Noble counters into an armbar of his arm.

00:03:51Yeah, Fujiwara armbar reversing the hip cross.

00:03:54Noble very, very technically sound.

00:03:56That's that Fujiwara armbar locked in on Tajiri.

00:03:59And by Mysterio out of the ring now.

00:04:01It's now a one-on-one matchup between these two men for the time being,

00:04:04as Tajiri struggles to make it to the ropes and does,

00:04:06forcing the referee to force Noble to break the move.

00:04:11Tajiri in the corner, shot to the midsection by Noble.

00:04:16A right hand by Mysterio.

00:04:18Noble with an elbow to the side of the head.

00:04:20Look at this, Jamie Noble.

00:04:21To the apron.

00:04:22And the hand from the ring.

00:04:23For the forearm.

00:04:24Tajiri blasting Noble with a forearm.

00:04:27A shot to Noble again as well.

00:04:29Hey, don't blink, this is quick.

00:04:30Very fast, AJ.

00:04:32The quick feet of the Japanese buzzsaw, what's he gonna do here?

00:04:35Probably a superplex, maybe a move around from the top rope.

00:04:39There goes Noble from behind.

00:04:41Tajiri in an electric chair.

00:04:43What the hell?

00:04:45Look at this.

00:04:46Oh, man.

00:04:47Oh, my.

00:04:48An electric chair in a superplex.

00:04:52All three men are down.

00:04:54Like a call wreck.

00:04:56Two.

00:04:58Well, the winner goes to his first WrestleMania.

00:05:01Let's take another look.

00:05:03At this electric chair and superplex.

00:05:07Well, this could be the turning point of this matchup.

00:05:10It's as you indeed make a very good point.

00:05:13One of these men is going to WrestleMania to take on either Billy Kidman or

00:05:17Matt Hardy.

00:05:17That matchup later tonight.

00:05:18Hook to the leg.

00:05:20You got it.

00:05:20And no, Tajiri just gets the shoulder up again.

00:05:24I mean, Mysterio hasn't moved.

00:05:27Mysterio and Tajiri saves the matchup for himself.

00:05:29Remember, Mysterio keep the brunt of that thing with a superplex from the top rope.

00:05:34First person to gain pinfall and submission, what a slam.

00:05:37Quick pound slam.

00:05:38Hook to the leg by Noble, and Tajiri just battles out before the count of three.

00:05:42Beautiful quick pound slam into a cradle.

00:05:44Jamie Noble with the shovels attack here tonight.

00:05:47Wow, there goes one of those deadly kicks by Tajiri.

00:05:49The Japanese buzzsaw, Tajiri whipped into the corner by Jamie Noble.

00:05:54Uh-oh, look out.

00:05:55Yeah.

00:05:56Hooking him up for the tarantula.

00:05:57We haven't seen this in a while.

00:05:59Game.

00:05:59Can't keep it off the ball, though, to the evil maneuver, the man's tied up in the ropes.

00:06:03And look at Tajiri measuring his man, Jamie Noble.

00:06:05Boy, heads up.

00:06:06The big kick to the back of the head.

00:06:08Noble may be out cold.

00:06:09Is Tajiri going to WrestleMania?

00:06:12And Mysterio just breaks up the three count.

00:06:15Well, you wanna get the pin.

00:06:16I don't play Mysterio.

00:06:17Good move right there.

00:06:18Stop Tajiri from getting the pinfall.

00:06:21All three men still in this matchup.

00:06:23Again, first person to gain pinfall or submission, so we'll win the match.

00:06:26This is a toss-up, Cole.

00:06:27Toss-up.

00:06:28Oh!

00:06:296-1-9 connects to Noble.

00:06:30God, that's it.

00:06:31Tajiri looks to take advantage.

00:06:33Mysterio!

00:06:34Off the top rope, a leg drop off the springboard for the back of Tajiri's head.

00:06:38What a match.

00:06:39Mysterio crawls into the cover.

00:06:42Tajiri's.

00:06:42And look at Jamie Noble putting Tajiri's foot on the bottom rope.

00:06:45Hey, that's cool.

00:06:47That's fine.

00:06:47Referee had to break the three count.

00:06:49Every man for himself.

00:06:50Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

00:06:51What a drop kick.

00:06:53Springboard drop kick.

00:06:55Noble knockdown.

00:06:57Right in the ribs.

00:06:58Tajiri with a shot to the ribs of Mysterio.

00:07:01Mysterio ducks underneath.

00:07:03No!

00:07:03That was the reverse 619.

00:07:06The 916.

00:07:07Oh, look at the shot to the gut by Mysterio.

00:07:10Right from the West Coast.

00:07:11Popped and got caught in midair.

00:07:13It got popped right in the face, vitals.

00:07:15Very educated feet and legs of Tajiri.

00:07:18And Tajiri is in control of the matchup suddenly.

00:07:22Tajiri hoping to make it to his first WrestleMania.

00:07:25Tajiri hasn't missed a beat.

00:07:27Oh, look at this.

00:07:27A wrong move on Mysterio.

00:07:29Shoulders are down.

00:07:31Mysterio is going to WrestleMania.

00:07:33Here is your number one kicker, Rey Mysterio.

00:07:39Man, what a matchup.

00:07:41Take your hat off for all three competitors.

00:07:44Rey Ashton to kick off SmackDown.

00:07:46Rey Mysterio heading to his first WrestleMania.

00:07:50Hitting a shot at the Cruiserweight Championship.

00:07:52Well, take another look at the Japanese butt sore.

00:07:56Rey Mysterio going for the West Coast.

00:07:59Tajiri caught him in midair.

00:08:01And then Tajiri going for the vertical suplex.

00:08:03So watch the counter by Mysterio.

00:08:06Well, great counter by Rey Mysterio.

00:08:08And the big news is Rey Mysterio going to WrestleMania.

00:08:13And who's he going to face?

00:08:14Matt Hardy or Billy Kendins?

00:08:20Also tonight, Hulk Hogan is already here.

00:08:24Also scheduled to be here tonight is Mr. McMahon.

00:08:28For the first time since the Screwjob and No Way Out.

00:08:32McMahon and Hogan face-to-face tonight.

00:08:36Oh, yeah, they're right here.

00:08:38That match.

00:08:39Team Angle going against Rhyno and Chris Memoir.

00:08:42Four very explosive athletes right here tonight on SmackDown.

00:09:18Evolving the FBI.

00:09:19Well, there will be no Rikishi here tonight.

00:09:21Steve and the odds.

00:09:23Rikishi's on a PR tour in Germany.

00:09:25Los Guerrero going in alone.

00:09:28We can do the PR.

00:09:28What's PR mean?

00:09:30Is that like Puerto Rico?

00:09:31Public relations.

00:09:32Oh, is it PR?

00:09:33Well, I don't know.

00:09:33I'm not into all the clerical stuff like you.

00:09:35Oh, sorry.

00:09:41And bringing it to the ring by Curzio at a combined weight.

00:09:45Now, 530 pounds.

00:09:47Jump for our boys.

00:09:49Johnny, damn boy.

00:09:51FBI.

00:09:53What do you make of the so-blooded Italian for the FBI?

00:09:56Well, the neighborhood guys.

00:09:57The street guys.

00:09:58Street thugs.

00:09:59You know what I mean?

00:10:00Accumulate.

00:10:01You know, Liverpool, Brooklyn.

00:10:02You know, the mentors from Howard Beach.

00:10:04That explains the reason.

00:10:07You know, neighborhood guys.

00:10:08You know what I mean?

00:10:09I know what you mean.

00:10:10Okay, you know what I mean?

00:10:11But what about Los Guerreros?

00:10:13How about them?

00:10:13They're not from the neighborhood.

00:10:14They're from, you know, they're Los Guerreros.

00:10:16They're Mexicans.

00:10:17It's gonna be Chavo starting things off against Chuck Palumbo.

00:10:21Palumbo teaming with Johnny the Bull Stamboli here tonight.

00:10:25WWE here tonight in Bridgeport for SmackDown.

00:10:27We'll come to you.

00:10:28WWE Live Saturday night, Birmingham, Alabama.

00:10:31Sunday in Youngstown, Ohio.

00:10:33Monday in Erie in Cleveland, Ohio.

00:10:35And SmackDown next week from Kurt Angle's hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

00:10:39And back into the corner.

00:10:41Chuck Palumbo.

00:10:42There's a good Eddie Guerrero.

00:10:44Well, Chuck's got the size advantage, obviously, on Chavo here.

00:10:48Chuck's a big boy, about 6'5", 265, 270.

00:10:53Chuck is pursuing a 2-0, and he runs into a chop from Eddie.

00:10:56And that is where Los Guerreros is at their best, working as a well-oiled team.

00:11:01Well, Los Guerreros will get you to make a mistake right there.

00:11:03Palumbo a little over zealous got dropped to hold it to the bottom rope.

00:11:09And here's Eddie and off the tag.

00:11:11The kicks to the kidney of Chuck Palumbo.

00:11:12And again, the Guerreros have to be very careful,

00:11:15and they know firsthand that FBI gets their strength in numbers.

00:11:19You've got to watch Pazio on the outside does the Guerreros.

00:11:22And here's the tag to Johnny the Bull Stamboli.

00:11:26A standing chop kick by Eddie Guerreros.

00:11:28There goes the tag.

00:11:29The two feet right in the Stamboli's mouth.

00:11:31Right through his macaroni hole, you know, the mouth, pie hole, whatever they call it.

00:11:35Wait for that military press.

00:11:36We saw Stamboli do that to Rikishi.

00:11:37What a right hand by Chuck Palumbo.

00:11:40Referee didn't see it.

00:11:41He was busy with Nunzio and Chavo, and Palumbo took advantage.

00:11:45And now Stamboli, the powerhouse of the team, is in control.

00:11:48This is Stamboli.

00:11:49No doubt he's strong as hell.

00:11:51He's strong like bull.

00:11:52That's why they call him Johnny the Bull.

00:11:54Pressing Rikishi a couple weeks ago.

00:11:55I'll never forget that moment right here on SmackDown.

00:11:58I'll tell you who we'll never forget in a moment tonight.

00:12:00Who?

00:12:01Brock Lesnar for four months have been waiting to get his hands on Paul Heyman,

00:12:04his turncoat ex-agent.

00:12:07Well, tonight Lesnar gets Paul Heyman inside a steel cage.

00:12:11Whoa, whoa.

00:12:11And all I can say about Paul Heyman is,

00:12:13well, Paul, you brought this upon yourself.

00:12:16Right there, Eddie Guerrero tried to get to the corner of the tag.

00:12:18Chavo, but Chuck Lovell cut the ring off right there.

00:12:21Pressing him to the mat.

00:12:23What do you say now?

00:12:24I'll tell you the FBI shows tremendous athletes.

00:12:27Chuck Palumbo, Johnny, and wow, Chuck Palumbo planting Eddie Guerrero.

00:12:33Palumbo right across, Eddie Guerrero's right across Palumbo's chest.

00:12:36Picked up the fire and carried the Samoan drop, very impressive.

00:12:40Now the double team by Stamboli and Palumbo.

00:12:43Making a wish, like Thanksgiving, you know, in the hook, in Brooklyn.

00:12:46And Stamboli can make a wish.

00:12:48Here's the hook of the leg, cover, and a kick out by Eddie before the count of three.

00:12:53You know, a lot of, you know, people in Brooklyn, you know, Lamp's feet.

00:12:55They're Lamp's feet cold.

00:12:56Never.

00:12:57Thank you very much.

00:12:58High and fat.

00:12:59It's good for you.

00:12:59It's your honor.

00:13:00High and fat, I figured you liked it.

00:13:01And Palumbo continues with a bear hug now, locked in to Eddie Guerrero.

00:13:07I'm sorry, that's Stamboli.

00:13:09That's good.

00:13:09Maybe you wanna make fun of me, you can call the match to pop away, Nick.

00:13:12Bear hug is locked in again, Stamboli releasing the hold, his Palumbo, no tag was made.

00:13:18But again, the referee is busy with Chava.

00:13:21And Chuck Palumbo got that bear hug locked in tight.

00:13:23Now Palumbo's got the bear hug on Eddie.

00:13:28Right here in Bridgeport, getting behind Eddie Guerrero, Latino, he.

00:13:31And even the right hand to Chuck Palumbo as he tries to battle out of the bear hug.

00:13:36Here comes Eddie Guerrero, and again, a knee to the midsection.

00:13:40Guerrero whipped across the ring, going for a run.

00:13:42Look at the leg scissors, great counter by Eddie Guerrero, who needs to make a tag.

00:13:47Oh, the veteran Eddie Guerrero, he knows that goal.

00:13:49Eddie Guerrero will get to Chavo, I think.

00:13:51He's close, he's close to Chavo.

00:13:53Come on, Eddie.

00:13:53And here's the tag to Chavo.

00:13:55Chavo in.

00:13:56Here we go.

00:13:56Stamboli with the right hand, to Johnny the Bull, Stamboli.

00:14:01Goes to Bull and a truck kick by Chavo.

00:14:05The Bull, the Bull's getting a lot of drag kicks in his face today.

00:14:08Shot to the gut of Palumbo.

00:14:09Take a leg out.

00:14:09All right, Chavo.

00:14:10Nice shot to the side of the head.

00:14:13Man, man, those Guerrero's look good tonight, man.

00:14:15They're on fire.

00:14:17Here's Chavo whipped across the ring.

00:14:21A spinning DDT.

00:14:22Tornado DDT.

00:14:23He's the hook of the leg.

00:14:25Palumbo saves the matchup for the FBI.

00:14:28Palumbo looked like one of them big 757s flying through the air.

00:14:31Did you see that?

00:14:32Oh, my God.

00:14:33Andy Guerrero and Chuck Columbo both fly through the air.

00:14:36Palumbo went the hip toss, Eddie Guerrero on the top rope.

00:14:38But Eddie hung on, and Palumbo came over the top with the momentum.

00:14:43Palumbo and Eddie going at it outside the ring.

00:14:45Chavo Guerrero and Stamboli inside the ring.

00:14:48Body flying everywhere over here.

00:14:50Palumbo with a steel post.

00:14:52Did you hear that?

00:14:52Yes, I did.

00:14:54Poof.

00:14:55Chavo slamming Stamboli.

00:14:57Get down.

00:14:57Oh, wow.

00:14:58Chavo the hard way.

00:15:00Oh, that's the goal, Bob.

00:15:01What are you doing to Chavo?

00:15:03And a big uppercut by Chavo.

00:15:06He's gonna damage out another jack.

00:15:08I don't know about how Chavo's maneuvering there.

00:15:10Chavo going up high.

00:15:11Stamboli beat him to the punch.

00:15:13And there's a shot by Chavo Guerrero.

00:15:15Chavo's up high.

00:15:16He's up high.

00:15:17And look at Stamboli.

00:15:19And look at Eddie.

00:15:21Wow.

00:15:22Full splash.

00:15:23Chavo's the legal man.

00:15:24Oh, wow.

00:15:25The Guerreros cheat the wing.

00:15:29Here are the winners.

00:15:30You're not cheating.

00:15:32Guerrero.

00:15:32Eddie Guerrero nailing.

00:15:34Nailing the bull right across the face of that front.

00:15:37Look at this.

00:15:39Well, the FBI.

00:15:40Oh, look at the jacket.

00:15:41In numbers.

00:15:42What a shot.

00:15:44To Eddie Guerrero.

00:15:45I believe Guerrero just got whacked.

00:15:47Oh, he did.

00:15:48He just got whacked.

00:15:50Chavo's trying to fight by himself.

00:15:51The numbers game has caught up to Chavo Guerrero.

00:15:54And as you pointed out earlier, Paul, this is where the FBI,

00:15:57the footballer Italians, have their strength in numbers.

00:16:00They're like a wild pack of dogs.

00:16:02Italian pitbulls.

00:16:04It is a three-on-one mugging of Chavo Guerrero.

00:16:08The FBI have taken out both Guerreros here tonight.

00:16:12Ow!

00:16:13And running right hand.

00:16:15You heard that shot?

00:16:17Palombo hurt his own hand on the shoreline of Chavo Guerrero.

00:16:21Guerreros are down and out.

00:16:23FBI standing tall.

00:16:25The Guerreros did what they knew best.

00:16:27They cheated to win.

00:16:28And the FBI did what they knew best.

00:16:33Here it is, Cole.

00:16:34The cage.

00:16:35The very vicious cage.

00:16:37The steel cage will soon surround this way.

00:16:41Tonight, Brock Lesnar can exact revenge on Paul Heyman.

00:16:46What did I have to do to deserve this?

00:16:50Why me?

00:16:52Locked in a cage with Brock Lesnar.

00:16:56Do you know what Brock's going to do to me inside that cage?

00:16:59Do you know what an F5 is going to do to me?

00:17:03I'm not a superstar.

00:17:04I'm a super agent.

00:17:06I'm a businessman.

00:17:09It's not okay.

00:17:10It's not okay, Kurt.

00:17:12It's not okay.

00:17:13Oh, wait.

00:17:13What's wrong, man?

00:17:14You look worried.

00:17:15What is it?

00:17:15The steel cage match tonight?

00:17:17Yes, it's the steel cage match tonight.

00:17:18I can't be locked inside of a steel cage with Brock Lesnar.

00:17:21He thinks they screwed him over.

00:17:22He wants to get revenge.

00:17:23Paul, Paul.

00:17:24Look at me.

00:17:26We have your back.

00:17:28You have nothing to worry about.

00:17:30Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:17:31Hold on a second.

00:17:32Some people like to settle matters with their brawn, okay?

00:17:35I like to do it with my brain.

00:17:37Listen.

00:17:37I'm gonna go talk to Stephanie, okay?

00:17:40And whether you realize this or not, as a WWE Champion,

00:17:46and, well, my personal relationship with Stephanie, if you know what I mean.

00:17:52I think I can talk her out of this match tonight.

00:17:55Please, Kurt.

00:17:55Please do this for me.

00:17:56Please.

00:17:57You got it, man.

00:17:59Can I go with you?

00:17:59Right now, yeah.

00:18:01I'll be back.

00:18:01Thank you, Kurt.

00:18:02Thank you so much.

00:18:14Thank you so much.

00:18:36Hey, Kurt.

00:18:37Hey, Steph.

00:18:38How are you doing?

00:18:40I'm good.

00:18:41Listen, I'm going to talk to you, can you?

00:18:44I got this.

00:18:46You're kidding.

00:18:47I got this.

00:18:47Whoopi, I'm a negotiator.

00:18:49That's what I do for a living.

00:18:50Can you hurry it up, please?

00:18:53Stephanie, you know how much respect Kurt and I have for you,

00:18:55and for your entire family, for that matter.

00:18:58And we were just wondering,

00:18:59since I'm competing in a steel cage match tonight with Brock Lesnar,

00:19:03maybe just one small concession from your end.

00:19:06Just one.

00:19:08You're not getting out of the match, Paul.

00:19:10That's not what I'm thinking about.

00:19:11Just one small little concession.

00:19:13I mean, maybe just, um...

00:19:15Please don't do this to me, Stephanie!

00:19:16Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:19:18Get off your knees and you act like a man.

00:19:21What's wrong with you?

00:19:22She's going to put me in a steel cage?

00:19:23In fact, get the heck out of here.

00:19:26And let a real man handle this.

00:19:27But Kurt is...

00:19:28Out!

00:19:28Listen to your client, Paul.

00:19:30Out!

00:19:32Oh, damn it!

00:19:35Good luck!

00:19:37Listen, I'm sorry about that.

00:19:39I didn't know...

00:19:40I didn't know what he was doing.

00:19:42You put him up to this.

00:19:42No, no, I didn't.

00:19:43I came in to talk to you.

00:19:45Listen.

00:19:47Why don't we leave off?

00:19:49Or why don't we start where we left off?

00:19:51Valentine's Day.

00:19:51Remember Valentine's Day?

00:19:53Huh?

00:19:54Yes.

00:19:55Except for you and I, we were a long way back.

00:19:58He did.

00:19:59Yeah.

00:20:00And, uh, not only do we have a business relationship, but we both know we have a personal relationship

00:20:09as well.

00:20:12And, Steph, I know you have a thing for me.

00:20:17And I'll be honest with you.

00:20:21I have a thing for you, too.

00:20:23You know what, Kurt?

00:20:24Yeah.

00:20:24I do have a thing for you.

00:20:28And, uh, there's a time and a place for everything.

00:20:34And right now, it's time for business.

00:20:41See, Kurt, we had something in the past.

00:20:45But you need to be thinking about your future.

00:20:48You need to be thinking about your title match with Brock Lesnar.

00:20:52We're at WrestleMania.

00:20:53I have that cover.

00:20:53I'm going to beat him.

00:20:54So what?

00:20:54Well, your match at WrestleMania just might be a rematch.

00:20:59What are you talking about?

00:21:01See, Kurt, you really make me angry when you insult my intelligence and you come in here

00:21:05and you come on to me and you think you can seduce me like I'm not going to see right

00:21:10through you.

00:21:12That's why, Kurt, should Brock Lesnar be able to defeat Paul Heyman in that steel cage tonight?

00:21:20Then you will have to face Brock Lesnar and put your title on the line next week.

00:21:28Oh, come on, Steph.

00:21:30No.

00:21:31Why?

00:21:33Why?

00:21:34I don't think I've explained myself.

00:21:35You can leave.

00:21:42My.

00:21:43Talk about a backfire.

00:21:45What a shocker.

00:21:47If Brock Lesnar defeats Paul Heyman inside a cage tonight,

00:21:51Lesnar beats Angles for the WWE title next week at Angles' hometown of Pittsburgh.

00:21:58Woo!

00:22:03I can swear I want you to be here.

00:22:06Well, the contest is scheduled for a lot of Paul Heyman's brother, WWE.

00:22:10The Cruiserweight Championship, being accompanied by Shane Moore from Cameron,

00:22:16North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds, the Cruiserweight Champion,

00:22:23Matt Hardy version one.

00:22:25Hey Matt Hardy and yourself got a lot in common.

00:22:27Yeah, he's a sex symbol, you know, he looks like Playboy, I think Playboy.

00:22:31WWE live here tonight in Bridgeport, of course, this coming Monday.

00:22:35We will be in the Guns N' Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

00:22:41You like Cleveland?

00:22:42Not really, but I dig it, I mean, that's what he's gonna show.

00:22:48And the challenger from Allistown, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 215 pounds,

00:22:54Billy Kidney is back up for the Cruiserweight Championship.

00:22:58A rematch of No Way Out, with so much at stake.

00:23:02The winner of this match will defend the title against Rey Mysterio.

00:23:06Look at this, Matt Hardy rolling Kidman up in a kick out.

00:23:09Winner of the matchup meets Rey Mysterio defending the title against Mysterio.

00:23:13And WrestleMania, and Kidman's with the leg scissors, followed by the drop kick.

00:23:17Here's the cover by Kidman, the challenger, in a kick out by Matt Hardy.

00:23:20And again, starting the matchup, you see that Shannon Moore could be a problem for

00:23:23Billy Kidman, here tonight on the outside.

00:23:26Matt Hardy rolled through.

00:23:27Nice sunset flipping through a roll through.

00:23:29Look at our sensei of Mattitude right there, and here goes Billy Kidman!

00:23:32He has blanched over the top rope is Kidman, and Shannon Moore.

00:23:36Oh, look at this little MF for the Mattitude's top bottom.

00:23:38Look at him, Shannon Moore, you gotta love it.

00:23:40Matt Hardy's got Shannon Moore trained like a puppy.

00:23:43Well, Shannon Moore was very instrumental in helping Matt Hardy

00:23:46cut weight 220 pounds to get into the Cruiserweight division a couple of weeks back.

00:23:51All the banana juice and, you know, nut butter, and it helped, and the cardio,

00:23:56and the eating lean, and, you know, it helped Matt Hardy.

00:23:58Shannon Moore was influential in that situation.

00:24:00Matt Hardy took the title from Billy Kidman at No Way Out.

00:24:03This is the rematch tonight with WrestleMania.

00:24:06Matt Hardy hooks the leg, and Kidman battles out of it before the three count.

00:24:11Again, I cannot believe the news that we just heard from Stephanie McMahon.

00:24:15Blockbuster news, blockbuster.

00:24:17If Brock Lesnar defeats Paul Heyman inside the steel cage tonight,

00:24:21then Lesnar is gonna meet Abel for the title next week, I expect that, in Pittsburgh.

00:24:26It's WrestleMania come early, can you believe that?

00:24:29Tell you what, Brock Lesnar, in my opinion,

00:24:32he's got a good chance to defeat Heyman tonight in his cage.

00:24:36You think?

00:24:36Well, I'm no betting, man, but I bet on that one.

00:24:38Paul Heyman, it's no shot.

00:24:40No shot at all.

00:24:41And it's a good, Billy Kidman exploding, and Shannon Moore could not even believe it.

00:24:46And it's Kidman tries to get back to his feet.

00:24:49Well, if Kidman could get the title tonight for Matt Hardy right here in this matchup,

00:24:53as we pointed out earlier, he'll go on to WrestleMania to face Rey Mysterio.

00:24:58Mysterio looked great in that opening match on SmackDown.

00:25:01And we also have word that Mr. McMahon has arrived.

00:25:04Mr. McMahon is here tonight, along with Hulk Hogan, who's here as well.

00:25:08That's the first confrontation between those two since the screw job at No Way Out.

00:25:12Talk about explosive.

00:25:14Hogan McMahon in the same film at the same time.

00:25:17Holy cow.

00:25:18Matt Hardy playing soccer ball, but Billy Kidman's.

00:25:21Oh, fuck.

00:25:22Right on the yam, look at this.

00:25:23Come on.

00:25:24You know the horsey-dosey-dowa maneuver on the top rope.

00:25:28And Matt Hardy should have put the yam bag and some yam.

00:25:30Oh, Billy Kidman.

00:25:32Here's the cover, shoulders down, and a kick out by Matt Hardy.

00:25:36You said yamts tonight, right?

00:25:37Right. Okay, check.

00:25:38And here's Matt Hardy, reversal,

00:25:39Kidman the challenger whips into the turnbuckle.

00:25:41Oh, a shot to the face.

00:25:43Kidman is hellbent on bringing the title back.

00:25:47Oh, that's mocking Matt Hardy.

00:25:50That's a pinch and Hardy's broke.

00:25:51Here's the hook to the leg, and the champion just, just gets the shoulder off.

00:25:56Billy Kidman doing the Matt Hardy,

00:25:58oh, to yell and then the leg drop.

00:26:00There's a copy of Matt Hardy.

00:26:01Duck.

00:26:02Billy Kidman lands on his feet.

00:26:04Matt Hardy's in trouble.

00:26:05Kidman, top rope, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:26:08Oh, wow.

00:26:08Clance Matt Hardy.

00:26:10Cover him, cover him, cover him, Billy.

00:26:12Oh, I think he's gonna go for the exclamation point.

00:26:15He's gonna stop, press time.

00:26:17Billy Kidman going up high.

00:26:19Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:26:19And Shannon Moore saving Matt Hardy.

00:26:22Go for a little walk.

00:26:23Maybe not.

00:26:24Oh, watch out.

00:26:25Kidman knocking both.

00:26:26Hardy and his pupil, Shannon Moore down.

00:26:29Watch off the top rope, both body right approach.

00:26:32The two amount of two people.

00:26:34You saw this cruiserweight action tonight.

00:26:36This is how much a trip to WrestleMania means for all these athletes.

00:26:41Billy's chasing Shannon around the ring here.

00:26:44Watch out, knock the ball.

00:26:45And Matt Hardy, and a side effect connects.

00:26:48The cover of the leg of Kidman.

00:26:51The challenger.

00:26:53He's come to be accustomed to Billy Kidman.

00:26:56Good point, Coach, where's the fake coming?

00:26:59Kidman, no.

00:27:08And Matt Hardy is heading to WrestleMania.

00:27:13Here is the winner,

00:27:14the cruiserweight champion, Matt Hardy version.

00:27:19We now know the matchup for WrestleMania.

00:27:21Matt Hardy defends the title against Rey Mysterio.

00:27:28Tonight it's Brock Lesnar versus Paul Heyman inside a steel cage.

00:27:33A lot of history between these two.

00:27:38Brock Lesnar has become the youngest champion in WWE history.

00:27:45Who in the hell will be able to stop the next big thing?

00:27:53Tonight, SmackDown's on the Long Island Sound in Frenchport, Connecticut.

00:27:58And we are still awaiting Brock Lesnar versus Paul Heyman inside a steel cage.

00:28:02And Mr. McMahon and Hulk Hogan are here tonight.

00:28:06Well, ladies and gentlemen, last week, right here on SmackDown, blockbuster news involving a SmackDown diva and Playboy.

00:28:16The following announcement is for mature audiences only.

00:28:20Because, ladies and gentlemen, the hottest, sexiest, finest diva that will be featured in next month's Playboy magazine will be

00:28:33Tori Wilson.

00:28:37Tori Wilson's photo shoot for Playboy took place this past week.

00:28:43Hey, guys, this is Tori.

00:28:45I'm out here in L.A., and welcome to my Playboy photo shoot.

00:28:53Oh, there you go.

00:28:55Very nice, very nice.

00:28:59I've always dreamed about being in Playboy, so this is really an exciting experience for me.

00:29:08This is going to be the most magnificent shoot I've ever done in my life.

00:29:13Nobody ever looks better than they do in the pages of Playboy, so I'm really excited.

00:29:19I think we're expected to sell out this issue.

00:29:21I mean, I think she's that strong.

00:29:27And next week on SmackDown, we will unveil Tori Wilson's Playboy cover next week right here on SmackDown.

00:29:40Nydia, let's go.

00:29:43I knew you were upset last week that you weren't chosen to be in Playboy, and I understand you're upset

00:29:47and everything.

00:29:48In fact, we have some footage from earlier this week when you visited the Playboy mansion.

00:30:04All right.

00:30:08Here we go.

00:30:11Ma'am?

00:30:12Ma'am?

00:30:13Here we go.

00:30:14Hi.

00:30:14Yes, I'm sure you already know who I am.

00:30:16Nydia from the WWE SmackDown, number one diva.

00:30:21Hi.

00:30:23Anyway, I'm here because I heard that Hugh Hefner chose Tori Wilson over.

00:30:28Over me.

00:30:29Well, Nadine, Mr. Hefner's a very busy man.

00:30:31Yeah.

00:30:32And I'm sorry.

00:30:32It's Nydia.

00:30:33And I'm sure he's a very busy man, but can you do me a big, big favor?

00:30:37I need you to give Mr. Hefner a message.

00:30:40Tell him to watch Girls Gone Wild next Thursday.

00:30:43Girls Gone Wild next Thursday.

00:30:45Because I'm going to give him not one, but two very good reasons why I should be on the cover

00:30:50of Playboy.

00:30:52All right.

00:30:52You're going to have to come this way.

00:30:53You're going to have to leave the property, ma'am.

00:30:54Yeah.

00:30:55Next Thursday, though.

00:30:55Don't forget.

00:30:56Seriously.

00:30:59You see?

00:31:00You see?

00:31:01Playboy picked the wrong diva.

00:31:03I mean, look at me.

00:31:08I am absolutely gorgeous.

00:31:10People want to see what's under my clothes.

00:31:15Okay.

00:31:16Tori, I have an idea.

00:31:18Let's say a week from now at the Girls Gone Wild pay-per-view, we play a little game.

00:31:22Let's say I have a body challenge.

00:31:25What's a body challenge?

00:31:26Oh, that's simple, Josh.

00:31:28We find out who looks better naked.

00:31:32So, Tori, what do you say?

00:31:35I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

00:31:40Hey, Josh.

00:31:41Yeah?

00:31:42What do you think of these?

00:31:44No!

00:31:46Oh!

00:31:51What's the matter?

00:31:52Cat got his tongue or what?

00:31:54How's that kid get that gig?

00:31:55I need to work backstage and do the interviews.

00:31:58Flash me!

00:31:59No!

00:31:59Stop!

00:32:00A body challenge.

00:32:02Yeah, what is that?

00:32:02Well, the body.

00:32:03The body's naked.

00:32:05We're gonna find out.

00:32:05Naked!

00:32:06Next week on Pay-Per-View, it's Girls Gone Wild Spring Break.

00:32:11And the producers of Girls Gone Wild have asked us to remind all of you that this is a pay

00:32:16-per-view

00:32:16that is TVMA, unlike the normal WWE pay-per-view rated TVMA.

00:32:23Well, Cole, I'm no rocket scientist, but I'm sure Girls Gone Wild next Thursday will be a very uplifting experience.

00:32:29Hey, you've been to a lot of spring breaks.

00:32:31You know what it gets like down there, right?

00:32:32Oh, it gets crazy, silly, nutty.

00:32:34Everybody's running around.

00:32:35The whole deal.

00:32:43Yo, brother, one second.

00:32:45Sure.

00:32:45Have you seen Vince?

00:32:46Yeah, he's over in Gaterham.

00:32:47Good.

00:32:48Well, tell him I heard what he said last week.

00:32:50Mm-hmm.

00:32:50So tonight out there, we're gonna find out who the real coward is.

00:32:54You got it.

00:32:56Fireworks!

00:32:56Next!

00:32:57Oh!

00:33:27potatoes.

00:33:27Hit horn!

00:33:27Hana La season!

00:33:32Wow!

00:33:33Yeah.

00:33:42Woooow!

00:33:42Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Hulk Hogan!

00:33:49We had the opportunity to run into Hulk Hogan earlier today, and Hogan was steaming.

00:33:57Now.

00:33:57And who can blame the man?

00:33:59Two weeks ago and no way out.

00:34:02Hulk Hogan was screwed by Mr. McMahon in Hogan's match versus The Rock.

00:34:45The Rock

00:35:25The Rock

00:35:29You guys are unbelievable, man.

00:35:37You know, in all seriousness, I've got something I gotta get off my chest.

00:35:43You know, Vince McMahon, I've had it, brother.

00:35:46I am totally through with you.

00:35:48I'm tired of biding my time.

00:35:50I'm tired of playing games with you, McMahon.

00:35:53And I know you'd love it if I just walked right out of this very ring and walked out of

00:35:59your life, brother.

00:36:00I'd be gone forever.

00:36:02But that's not gonna happen, Vince.

00:36:05I'm just not going away, dude.

00:36:09You know, you can go ahead, McMahon, and screw me out of my match with The Rock.

00:36:13You can go ahead and call me a coward behind my back when I'm not around.

00:36:18You can run all over the whole WWE, McMahon, and say, McMahon-a-mania's running wild.

00:36:28But you know something, Vince?

00:36:30That doesn't change one damn thing, brother.

00:36:34There's an issue between you and me, McMahon, and it goes longer than 20 years, brother.

00:36:43And there's only one way to settle it, Vince.

00:36:46I know how to do it.

00:36:48They know how to do it, brother.

00:36:52You know exactly what it's all about.

00:36:56So all I gotta say, Vince, is get your ass out here right now, and let's settle this like men.

00:37:03Whoa!

00:37:10Hogan has called out...

00:37:12Come on, Vince.

00:37:13Let's settle this like men.

00:37:14Mr. McMahon, and he won't have to wait long.

00:37:17Mr. McMahon will not disappoint.

00:37:30Mr. McMahon did indeed call Hulk Hogan the Coward last week.

00:37:37Shut the damn music off.

00:37:47I got no problem settling an issue with you at any time, at any place, Hogan.

00:37:52Just for the record.

00:37:53No problem at all.

00:37:58Oh, really?

00:38:00There's the a**hole right there on the ring.

00:38:03Right there.

00:38:04There's the a**hole.

00:38:09I got no problem settling an issue with you, Hogan, any time, any place.

00:38:12I do have a problem, however, doing it as men, because, quite frankly, you're not a man.

00:38:22I'm the only man of the two.

00:38:25Matter of fact, Hogan, you're not a man at all.

00:38:27You're just a mere shell of a man.

00:38:32And you know it when you look in the mirror.

00:38:35I can't believe that you would call me out here, Hogan, after all I've done for you.

00:38:41After all the...

00:38:42Why don't you shut your damn mouth?

00:38:43I'm tired of your crap, McMahon.

00:38:47You know, week after week, you come out here, Vince, and you say how you hate Hulkamania.

00:38:54You come out here and say how you created Hulkamania.

00:38:58Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:39:01Well, you know something, McMahon?

00:39:04You're either delusional, you either got hit in the head with a damn hammer,

00:39:08or you're either a straight-out liar, McMahon,

00:39:11because you had nothing to do with creating Hulkamania.

00:39:15You had nothing to do with it at all.

00:39:17You did not create Hulkamania.

00:39:23Hulkamania was a success in spite of you, not because of you.

00:39:29Hulkamania lives forever because of all these Hulkamaniacs.

00:39:44And you know, McMahon,

00:39:46the fact that I had something to do with building this company just makes you sick.

00:39:53The fact that I am the one that put this company on the map

00:39:58and helped you make it what it is today,

00:40:01that makes you sick to your stomach, brother.

00:40:05Yeah.

00:40:07And all those Learjets that you have,

00:40:10all those billions of dollars,

00:40:13the houses that your kids live in,

00:40:16the $20 million vacation home in Blanca,

00:40:19that was all because of these maniacs.

00:40:21Shut up!

00:40:24Kiss my ass!

00:40:35Let me tell you something.

00:40:38I think you're starting to believe in your own bull****, Hogan.

00:40:43I could have had anybody play the part of Hulk Hogan.

00:40:46I could have had anybody bring Hulkamania.

00:40:50Hold on one second, McMahon.

00:40:52You actually think anybody could have ran with Hulkamania?

00:40:56Look at all the guys you gave the ball to.

00:40:59Look at all the guys that had the belt.

00:41:01Look at all the guys that ran to the goal line.

00:41:03Nobody ran as hard in as long as I did, McMahon.

00:41:09If you actually believe in your mind,

00:41:12if you actually think that I was just the right guy,

00:41:16at the right place,

00:41:17at the right time,

00:41:19well then you're a bigger delusional bastard

00:41:21than I thought you were, McMahon.

00:41:25And you know something?

00:41:27You were the one that I was supposed to have a match with

00:41:31a couple of weeks ago,

00:41:32and you put the rock in your place, brother.

00:41:35You say you're a man?

00:41:37Well then I say,

00:41:39prove it, Vince.

00:41:41Get in this ring with me,

00:41:42right here tonight.

00:41:52You want to have a match with me tonight?

00:41:58Let me respond to that by saying,

00:42:02there's no chance in hell.

00:42:09Let me say this.

00:42:10You claim that I hate Hulkamania.

00:42:15You're wrong.

00:42:16I don't hate Hulkamania.

00:42:17I don't even hate the Hulkamaniacs.

00:42:19No, I don't.

00:42:22But just for the record, Hogan,

00:42:25I hate you.

00:42:31And I'll tell you why I hate you, Hogan.

00:42:33I hate you because I created you,

00:42:35and you turned your back on me.

00:42:37You walked out on me, Hogan.

00:42:41I hate you because you left me,

00:42:44you went down south and joined up with Ted Turner,

00:42:47and you competed against me.

00:42:49I hate you for that.

00:42:50I hate you because you tried to put me out of business,

00:42:54and you know damn well you did.

00:42:56And something else I hate you for,

00:42:59and this is more personal than anything,

00:43:01something else I hate you for, Hogan,

00:43:03is this.

00:43:07You testified against me

00:43:09for the federal government

00:43:10in the trial of my life,

00:43:12and you know damn well you did, Hogan.

00:43:14Hold on a second, McMahon.

00:43:15If it wasn't for my testimony,

00:43:18I saved your ass,

00:43:20you would have went to prison.

00:43:21And if it wasn't for me,

00:43:23your big ass would still be rotting in prison.

00:43:27And you talk about screwing people.

00:43:31If you were in prison,

00:43:33the word screw would have a whole new meaning.

00:43:38You son of a...

00:43:45My family gave you your first break.

00:43:50My family gave you your name, Hogan.

00:43:53I plucked you from obscurity

00:43:55from some little town in Minnesota.

00:43:58I made you a household name.

00:44:00I made you a part of the fabric of Americana.

00:44:03And this is the thanks I get.

00:44:05You think I owe you something.

00:44:07I don't owe you a damn thing.

00:44:09But pal, you owe me.

00:44:10I can tell you right now,

00:44:12you owe me and I'm gonna collect.

00:44:14You want to match with me?

00:44:17You're not gonna have a match, Hogan.

00:44:20But you know what you're gonna have, Hogan?

00:44:23You're gonna have a fight.

00:44:26And I dare say to you,

00:44:27it's the first real fight you've ever been in, Hogan.

00:44:33And I'll tell you where this fight is gonna take place.

00:44:36On the biggest stage.

00:44:38Our industry knows today.

00:44:40Yet another one of my creations.

00:44:42Known as WrestleMania.

00:44:44That's where this fight is gonna take place.

00:44:46Oh, but wait, Hogan.

00:44:49There's one stipulation.

00:44:52And that stipulation goes like this.

00:44:55Not if.

00:44:56But when you lose,

00:44:59you're fight to me at WrestleMania, Hogan.

00:45:02And I want this in writing

00:45:04because your word's no good.

00:45:05I want it in the contract

00:45:06that you will never, ever again

00:45:09wrestle as long as you live.

00:45:15Just like I said, Hogan.

00:45:18I created Hulkamania.

00:45:20And by God, at WrestleMania,

00:45:23I'm gonna kill it.

00:45:27So what's your answer, Hogan?

00:45:30Yes or no?

00:45:32Yes or no?

00:45:33Yes or no?

00:45:35Well, hell yes.

00:45:36I've been waiting for this my whole life.

00:45:42And you know something, McMahon?

00:45:45All my life,

00:45:46I've been waiting for this.

00:45:48So have I.

00:45:49And I got one question for you.

00:45:52What you gonna do, McMahon?

00:45:54What you gonna do?

00:45:56Oh, cut the crap.

00:45:56No, no.

00:45:57What you gonna do

00:45:58when McMahon kills you?

00:46:00Oh, cut the crap, McMahon.

00:46:02You're right.

00:46:03This is no time for catchphrases.

00:46:06But because of you,

00:46:08there's one that still holds true.

00:46:10And that is,

00:46:12you better start training.

00:46:14You better start eating your vitamins.

00:46:16And you better start saying

00:46:18your damn prayers, McMahon.

00:46:23An emotional exchange

00:46:25between McMahon and Hogan.

00:46:31And WrestleMania,

00:46:33the two biggest names

00:46:35in sports entertainment history.

00:46:38The two men

00:46:39who put sports entertainment on the map.

00:46:42The one-on-one.

00:46:44But there is so much at stake for Hogan.

00:46:48If Hogan loses,

00:46:50his career

00:46:51is over.

00:46:53It's Hogan

00:46:54and McMahon

00:46:55at WrestleMania.

00:47:14Up next is Undertaker and A-Train.

00:47:16Earlier today,

00:47:17we learned more about

00:47:17The Undertaker-Nathan Jones relationship.

00:47:19We'll show you that

00:47:20and the match

00:47:21coming up next.

00:47:51It's a nice job.

00:47:52All right?

00:47:52Thanks, Taker.

00:47:54Thanks for following through

00:47:55with your promise

00:47:56to train me

00:47:57after I got to prison.

00:47:59Look, I'm a man of my word.

00:48:00All right?

00:48:01Listen, but I see

00:48:02what you've got to remember.

00:48:05The wrestling ring

00:48:07is just like a prison cell.

00:48:08All right?

00:48:10You've got to put your time in

00:48:12and you've got to make sacrifices.

00:48:15I will do it.

00:48:16Well, if I didn't think

00:48:17you couldn't do it,

00:48:18we wouldn't be here.

00:48:19All right?

00:48:20You guys all right?

00:48:21Yeah.

00:48:22All right, big man.

00:48:57Come on.

00:49:03come on here we go come on power come on knock him down

00:49:12damn it knock him on his ass come on

00:49:20watch it come on hey come on come on Nathan Nathan come on

00:49:27Nathan come on what are you doing man all right that's intensity

00:49:39all right that's enough for today

00:49:42well

00:49:43Nathan Jones is a bit of a loose cannon so to speak

00:49:52a real sick up there from the upbrainer

00:49:54so turn around

00:50:01cause the end is now

00:50:06making his way to the right thing

00:50:14and the other thing we've learned from what I can gather from what we just call the Undertaker is

00:50:23it becomes sort of a major a coach to Nathan Jones

00:50:28and if you're Nathan Jones you've got to consider yourself

00:50:32in my opinion Nathan Jones is very fortunate to have a household name

00:50:36make a superstar like the Undertaker guiding Nathan Jones' career

00:50:40and Nathan Jones is obviously very intensive

00:50:44you see big scores and tough

00:50:46you know about his background from Prince

00:50:59and being accompanied through the ring by the big show

00:51:03from Forreston Max

00:51:05weighing in at 350 pounds

00:51:08A-Train

00:51:09well as we got smacked down the Undertaker was upset the A-Train delivered derailers

00:51:14of the Undertaker and no way out

00:51:16that's a big towel

00:51:17so the Undertaker called out the A-Train

00:51:20there's got to be a beach towel

00:51:21yeah he did

00:51:22instead of the A-Train he got A-Train in the big show

00:51:25the 201 two big mammoth

00:51:27bohemian

00:51:28man

00:51:29right

00:51:29man

00:51:30from past the Undertaker

00:51:31out of nowhere

00:51:32Nathan Jones

00:51:34you're a complex

00:51:35Nathan Jones came out

00:51:37to help Big Evil

00:51:39well we now find out why Nathan Jones came out to help out The Undertaker

00:51:43we saw just a few moments ago

00:51:45The Undertaker is sort of coaching Nathan Jones

00:51:53you know A-Train's been running around here in recent months

00:51:55saying he wants to get people's attention

00:51:56he got the attention of The Undertaker

00:51:59and no way out

00:51:59when he delivered a derailer to The Undertaker

00:52:04told him about getting the attention earlier tonight

00:52:07Mr. McMahon got Hogan's attention

00:52:08yeah they're gonna have a fight at Wrestlemania

00:52:10Hogan's career's on the line

00:52:12the match will have the world's attention at Wrestlemania

00:52:16McMahon and Hogan

00:52:18you see Nathan Jones watching intently at ringside

00:52:22this is a lesson

00:52:23look at that

00:52:24that's 350 pounds

00:52:26The Undertaker dropping A-Train on his head

00:52:30how strong is the Deadman

00:52:31what a boot

00:52:33inflexible

00:52:34not only does The Undertaker

00:52:36wait a minute

00:52:37cover on A-Train

00:52:38by The Undertaker

00:52:39and Big Show

00:52:39yanks The Undertaker

00:52:41out of the ring

00:52:42well there's the wild card

00:52:44perhaps in this matchup for The A-Train

00:52:46The Big Show

00:52:48and I got a question for you

00:52:49yes

00:52:49we talked about how much

00:52:50The Undertaker means to Nathan Jones

00:52:52how much could Nathan Jones mean to The Undertaker

00:52:55Undertaker's out here

00:52:56trying to show Nathan Jones

00:52:57the right way to do things

00:52:59perhaps more motivation

00:53:00now for The Undertaker to be bigger

00:53:01stronger than A-Train

00:53:03but what a slam by A-Train

00:53:05hook to the leg

00:53:06and shoulders up

00:53:07well believe me

00:53:07this ain't The Undertaker's first picnic

00:53:09Undertaker ain't this successful

00:53:11he's just know what he's doing

00:53:12in a straight circle

00:53:13right now The Undertaker's got his mind

00:53:15on the A-Train

00:53:16he's ever so powerful

00:53:17on his body

00:53:18Undertaker's not worried

00:53:19about Nathan Jones right now

00:53:21you know trying to teach the guy

00:53:22oh into the corner

00:53:24with a 30

00:53:24nobody home

00:53:25for The A-Train

00:53:26Undertaker ducks underneath the right hand

00:53:28A-Train's in trouble

00:53:29puts his ankle

00:53:30in front of his leg

00:53:31and we talked about

00:53:32The Undertaker adapting

00:53:33to the style of athlete

00:53:35in the WWE

00:53:36The Undertaker did just that

00:53:38on that particular maneuver

00:53:42A-Train with a clothesline

00:53:44and Undertaker may have tweaked the knee

00:53:46as he came over the top rope

00:53:48and now A-Train begging Nathan Jones

00:53:50to come into the ring

00:53:51as Big Show puts a hurt

00:54:07that steel post

00:54:08either ladies and gentlemen

00:54:09and now here comes Nathan Jones

00:54:11A-Train had Nathan Jones

00:54:13a little distracted

00:54:14on the other side of the ring

00:54:15so Big Show

00:54:16can do the damage

00:54:17to the Daniel

00:54:17but you see the continuity

00:54:19here between A-Train

00:54:20and Big Show

01:05:55and Haas and Benjamin

01:05:56doing a number on Rhyno

01:06:07a shot at Benjamin

01:06:09across the back of the neck of Rhyno

01:06:11you can hear that snap too Carl

01:06:18and Rhyno just gets the center

01:06:19Rhyno missed two months of action

01:06:22with a neck injury

01:06:23Team Angle has positioned themselves

01:06:26to take advantage of that neck

01:06:28we see Charlie Haas

01:06:29with his hands from behind the neck

01:06:31as he put out the stretch of the repaired neck of Rhyno

01:06:34with an off-bar

01:06:35completely talking

01:06:36bending Rhyno's neck

01:06:38in the position it's not supposed to go

01:06:40for those of you wondering why

01:06:42Kurt Angle is not out here

01:06:43in supporting his team

01:06:44Kurt Angle has other things on his mind tonight

01:06:47and look at Rhyno

01:06:48reversal and Charlie Haas kicks out

01:06:51beautiful reversal

01:06:51wow

01:06:52just dropping Rhyno with that close line

01:06:54back to the neck

01:06:55Kurt Angle realizes

01:06:56that if Paul Heyman his agent

01:06:58loses inside a steel cage

01:06:59to Brock Lesnar

01:07:00Angle will have to defend his title

01:07:03next week against Lesnar

01:07:04on SmackDown in Pittsburgh

01:07:06it'll be Wrestlemania come early

01:07:08come on Rhyno come on

01:07:10hey I've got right now

01:07:11Shelton Benjamin

01:07:11I mean if you've got an injured body

01:07:13part like a neck which is severely can you know ruin your career

01:07:17you don't want two athletes like Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas in that ring with you

01:07:22because they will pick that body part apart and dissect it

01:07:27Chris Benoit watching with a bit of concern

01:07:30you talked about ring rust

01:07:31how about stamina for Rhyno after all the time he's missed

01:07:34good point I'll tell you what Rhyno doesn't miss

01:07:36and that's intestinal fortitude

01:07:37Rhyno's got toughness

01:07:38oh wow that neck across the knee of Benjamin

01:07:42cover Chris Benoit says not today

01:07:45I'll tell you I don't blame Benoit for coming in and leaving

01:07:47he's got a

01:07:48Mike Kiyota might have to start contemplating

01:07:50broke his leg again in a kick out

01:07:52Mike Kiyota might have to start contemplating possibly stopping his neck

01:07:55you don't want to see a man you know break his neck again out

01:07:58your neck was socially repaired

01:07:59how much not socially

01:08:01come on

01:08:01how much can that neck take when you come back

01:08:07I'll be completely honest with that

01:08:09I couldn't go through when I came back

01:08:10with my injury I couldn't go through what Rhyno's going through

01:08:13but I didn't have surgery

01:08:14I just stood out for nine months and did heavy physical therapy

01:08:18but Rhyno I don't know how well they fused the bone

01:08:21but I'm no doctor by any means

01:08:23but I mean

01:08:23oh and a swinging neck break

01:08:25I don't know how much more it's made to take

01:08:26cover again hook in the leg and again Rhyno powers out

01:08:30how much toughness does Rhyno have

01:08:32and I mean you got to give take your head off the step to Charlie Haas

01:08:36you got to be relentless you got to be tenacious and try and win the match

01:08:40that's why they got a tag team champ it's great strategy by the tag team champs

01:08:43Benjamin and Haas are learning from Kurt Angle there's no doubt about that

01:08:48and a shot to the midsection again but you see Rhyno taking in deep breaths

01:08:53his mouth is open again stamina coming into question here

01:08:56it's a great point

01:08:57what a spinebuster planting Benjamin

01:09:00Rhyno desperately needs to make a tag

01:09:03but can Rhyno physically

01:09:05does he have the energy to endurance to make it over to Chris Benoit

01:09:08who's stewing on that in

01:09:10Rhyno desperately trying to make it to his partner

01:09:12Shelton Benjamin tries to make it to Charlie Haas

01:09:15Benoit wants in this matchup big time here we go Cole the tag is made

01:10:28Knee first right there

01:10:29Because that leg smith machine Haas

01:10:31Oh my god

01:10:33This is the Haas of Pain

01:10:35Will Benoit tap out?

01:10:39There's no way Benoit would have not

01:10:41Tapped out if Rhyno didn't come in that shape

01:10:45Shelton Benjamin in

01:10:47The Haas of Pain by Charlie Haas

01:10:49Almost had Benoit tap out

01:10:56The goal connects

01:10:57The goal connects

01:10:57And here goes Rhyno though

01:10:58He's in over the top rope is Rhyno

01:11:00Sherry Benjamin just rolled out foot

01:11:02One face

01:11:03One face

01:11:04One face

01:11:05Hoss is in trouble

01:11:06Hoss is in trouble

01:11:09Nowhere to go for Charlie Haas

01:11:10He's gotta make it to the rope

01:11:12The goal affected Benjamin's out

01:11:14Now he's finished

01:11:14Charlie Haas is along with Benoit

01:11:17And Charlie Haas taps

01:11:23Here are your winner

01:11:25Chris Benoit and Rhyno

01:11:28Chris Benoit with a cross face

01:11:31Charlie Haas taps out

01:11:33You gotta give it up for Benoit

01:11:37But what about the courage of that man Rhyno?

01:11:41Oh Rhyno

01:11:42Rolled like the corner now

01:11:44With intensity and test the fortitude

01:11:46But right there

01:11:47Chris Benoit and Rhyno get into victory

01:11:50Ladies and gentlemen in moments

01:11:52Paul Heyman will be locked inside that steel cage with Brock Lesnar

01:11:56And one person who will be watching this match closely is John Cena

01:12:01A man that Brock Lesnar put out of action some weeks ago

01:12:06He's in the waves of the light

01:12:09Brock I'm walking again

01:12:11I'm back on my feet

01:12:12And I'm holding down the streets like a new pair of cleats

01:12:17Sacrificing sleep

01:12:17So that in a few weeks

01:12:19I'll look you in the eyes

01:12:21And unleash the beast

01:12:22About to prove to you

01:12:24The unusual things I can do to you

01:12:26Like take my fist and drive it right through you

01:12:29I take you down Brock

01:12:31At any and all costs

01:12:32I'm mega hard

01:12:34You're Microsoft

01:12:35I'm a heavy hitter

01:12:37When I stop I don't back off

01:12:39The king around here

01:12:41You just another jack off

01:12:43You see me before Brock

01:12:45But never intense

01:12:47I fill you full of holes

01:12:49Like a chain link fence

01:12:52Word

01:12:53Life

01:13:00A week before Armageddon

01:13:04I hired myself a management team

01:13:06To look out for my best interests

01:13:09What I'd like to do right now

01:13:11Is introduce the head of my management team

01:13:16Paul Heyman

01:13:18What?

01:13:19Oh my god

01:13:20I'm gonna be sick

01:13:40Next match on Smackdown

01:13:42Heyman Lesnar in a steel cage

01:13:45Well here's the tail of the tape ladies and gentlemen

01:13:48Brock Lesnar obviously loaded with credentials

01:13:51And Paul Heyman

01:13:52Well you know

01:13:53You don't really have much

01:13:53You get the finishing move

01:13:54The proverbial nun

01:13:56She uses mouth

01:13:57That'd be a hell of a finisher

01:13:58Just yell at the guy

01:13:59And he pulls down

01:14:00Our next match in a cage

01:14:01Lesnar and Heyman

01:14:05We don't cheer the timid

01:14:07The meek

01:14:08Those content with their 15 minutes of fame

01:14:12We applaud the dreamers

01:14:15The adventurers

01:14:16Those who dare to soar above horizons

01:14:20For only those bold enough to chase dreams

01:14:24Are the ones who catch them

01:14:27Wrestlemania

01:14:28The showcase of the immortals

01:14:30Live March 30th

01:14:32On pay per view

01:14:36I don't know what to do

01:14:38Come on Paul

01:14:39Get your head together

01:14:41We're just minutes away from this cage match

01:14:44Kurt

01:14:45I can't win

01:14:48Shut your mouth Paulie

01:14:50I'll tell you right now

01:14:52If you don't win

01:14:53I'm gonna have to defend my title

01:14:55Not just at Wrestlemania

01:14:56But next week on Smackdown

01:14:58In my hometown of Pittsburgh

01:14:59I'm not gonna do that

01:15:00Jesus

01:15:00What are you

01:15:02Hey

01:15:03Hey

01:15:04Hey

01:15:04Come on

01:15:05Settle down

01:15:06Listen to me

01:15:08A true champion knows how to react to adversity

01:15:11You got me

01:15:16Hey Paul

01:15:18You will win tonight

01:15:19You will

01:15:22You will

01:15:23You will beat Brock Lesnar in this cage match

01:15:25I will

01:15:25Because Paul

01:15:26We're a team

01:15:28And no one man is bigger than the team

01:15:33Not even Brock Lesnar

01:15:35Now you go do it

01:15:37I think Kurt Angle's got a lot invested in this cage match

01:15:45You think Paul Heyman's scared

01:15:46I think Paul needs maybe more than Team Angle like the Marine

01:15:51This cage match is moments away ladies and gentlemen

01:15:54And perhaps Paul Heyman should have stayed down in South Africa with the rest of the WWE Smackdown superstars

01:16:00That's where Smackdown was this past weekend

01:16:14Welcome to South Africa come out

01:16:16We're here on the South Africa tour Smackdown

01:16:19I'm here in Cape Town Green Market Square and this looks like a shopper's highlight

01:16:23These would be cool for a diva shoot

01:16:25People are going crazy

01:16:26They're ready to see a good show

01:16:28A good Smackdown show

01:16:29And that's what we're here for

01:16:33It was beautiful

01:16:34The scenery was unbelievable

01:16:35In Durban we actually went to the beach

01:16:38And it was beautiful

01:16:39Every night is a Minnesota house

01:16:40I love the response

01:16:44Right now we're in Johannesburg

01:16:46I love these international tours actually

01:16:48Because the crowds are always so so hot

01:16:51And you know they're so hungry to see all of us

01:16:53Brock Lesnar you the man

01:16:55Here comes the pain

01:16:56We've had some awesome awesome shows

01:16:58WWE represent worldwide

01:17:05Again maybe Paul Heyman should have stayed in South Africa

01:17:08Because the steel cage match is on the way

01:17:10Hey Cole Paul Heyman's got a better chance at telling the truth

01:17:13Than he does have beaten Brock Lesnar

01:17:14This matchup came about after Brock Lesnar won a handicap matchup

01:17:19Last week on Smackdown against Team Angle

01:17:21It allowed Brock Lesnar to make this very important decision

01:17:26Last week

01:17:31I just beat Team Angle

01:17:34And by beating Team Angle

01:17:38That sets me up Kurt

01:17:40I get to pick any member of your team

01:17:43To step in a steel cage with me

01:17:49That member is

01:17:51You

01:17:54Paul Heyman

01:18:00Up next

01:18:01That I Brock Lesnar has waited nearly four months for

01:18:04The animal will be locked inside a steel cage

01:18:07With a man who betrayed him

01:18:09Stole the WWE title from him

01:18:12It's Lesnar and Heyman in a cage

01:18:15Stole cage match next

01:18:19Here comes the pig

01:18:23And if Brock Lesnar wins this cage match against Paul Heyman

01:18:27We could have a WrestleMania moment next week on Smackdown

01:18:32It would be Lesnar versus Angle for the title

01:18:38What one

01:18:39Following contested to the Steel Cage match

01:18:42Following contested to the Steel Cage match

01:18:43Taking his way to the ring

01:18:44For Minneapolis, Minnesota

01:18:46Weighing in at 295 pounds

01:18:49Brock Lesnar

01:18:52And for those of you who may have forgotten

01:18:56Remember what Brock Lesnar did inside a steel cage,

01:19:00the hell in a cell, back at No Mercy.

01:19:04Brock Lesnar is in his prime, six foot four, 295 pounds.

01:19:10He's a vicious, violent man, Cole.

01:19:13Paul Heyman's in a world of trouble.

01:19:25And being accompanied to the ring by Tim Angle from Starsdale, New York,

01:19:31weighing at 232 pounds, Paul Heyman.

01:19:36But apparently, Paul Heyman has backup.

01:19:42That's an impressive backup.

01:19:45Cole, for a long time, Paul Heyman has sent athletes into battle.

01:19:49Pro wrestlers into extreme matches.

01:19:52But tonight, Heyman finds himself in the uncomfortable,

01:19:56the unfamiliar role as competitor.

01:20:00Paul Heyman looks scared to death.

01:20:02Scared to death?

01:20:03Sweat.

01:20:10Kurt Angle with a vested interest in this matchup.

01:20:12If Heyman loses to Lesnar, Kurt Angle will defend the WWE title.

01:20:17It is hometown of Pittsburgh next week on SmackDown against Lesnar.

01:20:23I don't think Kurt Angle ever thought in his life he'd be rooting for

01:20:26Paul Heyman to win a match.

01:20:28I know Paul for a lot of years had ups and downs with the guy.

01:20:31I never thought I'd see Heyman in the steel cage with that man.

01:20:34Would anybody for that matter?

01:20:36What the hell is Kurt Angle doing?

01:20:38Kurt Angle, the WWE Champion, he's scaling the steel cage.

01:20:42Charlie Haas is in through the open door.

01:20:44Team Angle is double-teaming Brock Lesnar.

01:20:46So this must be the strategy, take out Lesnar early.

01:20:50I don't think the cage match officially started yet.

01:20:53Paul Heyman is one of the competitors, he's not in the ring yet.

01:20:56And Lesnar out the steel.

01:20:58That steel will rip your skin.

01:21:01Face first again.

01:21:03Lesnar into the steel again.

01:21:05Face first by Haas and Benjamin.

01:21:06KT Champions wearing out Brock Lesnar.

01:21:10For Paul Heyman.

01:21:11Of course the matchup hasn't started.

01:21:13Paul Heyman is supposed to be in the match with Lesnar.

01:21:16Heyman is nowhere to be seen.

01:21:17That's what I said, he didn't start in the cage yet.

01:21:21Horsetown, Horsetown.

01:21:22Skatman.

01:21:23Lesnar, look out, face first.

01:21:26Left jab, Haas and Benjamin planting Brock Lesnar.

01:21:30Haas and Benjamin have a score to settle with Brock Lesnar.

01:21:32Lesnar defeated Team Angle last week.

01:21:34Kicked by Benjamin to Charlie Haas and Lesnar explodes into a clothesline.

01:21:39Team Angle's in trouble now and so is Heyman.

01:21:42It's Shelton Benjamin off the cage.

01:21:46And Charlie Haas, Brock Lesnar's next victim.

01:21:50And the animal in Lesnar has been unleashed.

01:21:56God, does Brock Lesnar look comfortable in that cage or what?

01:22:00I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

01:22:02And Shelton Benjamin goes through the door.

01:22:07One member of Team Angle.

01:22:10And there goes the second.

01:22:12Come on, Heyman, get in the damn ring.

01:22:15Brock, no, Brock, no, Brock, please.

01:22:21I'm sorry, Brock, I'm sorry, Brock, I'm sorry, Brock, I'm sorry, please.

01:22:33And Kurt Angle from behind.

01:22:36Heyman lured Brock out of the cage.

01:22:38Kurt Angle, the WWE Champion.

01:22:40And here's Lesnar with a shot to the midsection and another one.

01:22:44Uh-oh, the Steel Coast hit first.

01:22:48Kurt Angle, I think, just got split open by that cage.

01:22:54Well, you don't believe in God.

01:22:57Stop, Brock Lesnar and Heyman in the cage.

01:23:00The match is on your way.

01:23:01Oh, my God.

01:23:02And the rules are simple.

01:23:04You win by pitfall or escape over the top or through the door.

01:23:09Both feet must touch the floor and Kurt Angle's been busted open.

01:23:12Kurt Angle's busted wide open.

01:23:15Team Angle is down and out, outside of the cage somewhere.

01:23:19And Heyman's trapped in the ring with an animal.

01:23:22I have absolutely no sympathy for Paul Heyman.

01:23:24Neither do I.

01:23:25Heyman brought this upon himself.

01:23:27Paul Heyman brought Brock Lesnar into the WWE.

01:23:31And then Heyman turned his back on Lesnar.

01:23:34Look at Kurt Angle.

01:23:36Brock gonna watch his old back.

01:23:38Here comes Kurt.

01:23:39Angle's climbing into the cage.

01:23:41And Sarge is coming.

01:23:43But Kurt's in the cage.

01:23:45Look out.

01:23:46Kurt Angle takes out the knee of Brock Lesnar.

01:23:50Angle clipped the back of the knee of Brock.

01:23:53Kurt's outbloodied and batted.

01:23:55But he's signaling probably for an Angle Slam.

01:23:57No disqualification in this matchup.

01:23:59Angle Slam delivered to Lesnar.

01:24:03And Paul Heyman, Paul Heyman is gonna steal this one.

01:24:07No, not like this, no.

01:24:08No, no.

01:24:09Interruptor powered out.

01:24:13Brock Lesnar kicked out.

01:24:17Kurt Angle picked up an ankle lock.

01:24:20Brock's in an ankle lock by Angle.

01:24:22The ankle lock is locked in.

01:24:24Brock, Angle don't wanna face Brock next week in Pittsburgh.

01:24:29Heyman Crawley desperately trying to crawl out of the cage.

01:24:33Lesnar's got Heyman's leg.

01:24:35Heyman's trying to slither out of the cage.

01:24:37But Brock's got a nose and the ankle lock.

01:24:39Help me.

01:24:40Help me.

01:24:41The ankle lock is locked in.

01:24:43How the hell is Lesnar holding on to Heyman?

01:24:45I got no idea how strong is Brock, how much pain is Brock in?

01:24:49Help, help, help.

01:24:52Kurt Angle trying to bust the ankle and Brock Lesnar crosses it.

01:24:58What has the damage been done to the ankle of Brock Lesnar?

01:25:02That ankle lock didn't have to be on long to tear off your ligaments in your ankle.

01:25:06But Brock, he's like subhuman, man.

01:25:09And Lesnar up on that ankle again from behind.

01:25:13Angle doing everything in his physical power to prevent Lesnar from defeating Paul Heyman.

01:25:18If Lesnar beats Heyman, he gets Angle for the title next week on SmackDown.

01:25:23And Lesnar tries to battle back.

01:25:26And Kurt Angle with the right hands again.

01:25:28Kurt knows he's gotta keep the pressure on Brock.

01:25:32Hey, look at Heyman, Heyman's trying to escape.

01:25:35That sneaky SOB, Heyman's gonna get up.

01:25:38If Heyman makes it over the top of the cage into the floor below, he'll win the damn match.

01:25:43And that cage is strong.

01:25:44It's holding up Heyman.

01:25:45And Brock Lesnar.

01:25:47Brock Lesnar has hold of Heyman.

01:25:49Uh-oh.

01:25:50Uh-oh.

01:25:52And a clubbing blow.

01:25:54Oh, man.

01:25:54That was for the title.

01:25:56Heyman stole from Lesnar at Survivor Series.

01:25:58Uh-oh.

01:26:00You're back, Paul.

01:26:01A boot to Angle.

01:26:02He took the pain, Cole.

01:26:04Here comes the pain.

01:26:05Back five to Heyman.

01:26:07Covering Brock.

01:26:08Covering Brock.

01:26:09Here's the cover.

01:26:10One, two, three.

01:26:12Lesnar's got Angle next week for the title.

01:26:16Here is your winner, Brock Lesnar.

01:26:25Next week in Pittsburgh, Lesnar and Angle one-on-one.

01:26:30There'll be no running the gauntlets.

01:26:32There'll be no games.

01:26:34WrestleMania comes early next week.

01:26:36It's Lesnar and Angle one-on-one for the WWE title in Pittsburgh.
