00:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall, on the way to the ring, the
00:30And the opponent, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds, Randy Orton.
01:00These superstars are going to put each other through wrestling hell tonight.
01:17They've already got a pretty good start on that bear.
01:20They have indeed came.
01:22I don't think there's an ounce of quit between them.
01:25Yeah, that's where things get dangerous.
01:26He's going to regret not following up here once he loses this match.
01:30Come on, JR.
01:32This isn't something you do when you're worried about the outcome of the match.
01:35He knows he's got it in the match.
01:36A reversal.
01:37Can you capitalize on it?
01:44I tell you, King, sometimes I get exhausted just watching these superstars compete.
01:50I know what you mean, JR.
01:51I don't think most people appreciate what incredible athletes these WWE superstars really are.
01:57You've got to have some excellent conditioning to be able to do what they do.
02:01Well, that's the name of the game, JR.
02:03You've got to keep moving.
02:04No dog ever peed on a moving car.
02:06Oh, that's a lovely image, King.
02:08I'd ask you where you come up with this stuff.
02:11I don't think I want to know if I'm frank.
02:13Here's a quality telegraph network.
02:14I can't believe he countered that one.
02:28Boy, when he looks these superstars, it really drives home the fact that Raw is the dominant brand of sports entertainment.
02:36Well, there's no doubt about that, JR.
02:38Here's now the superstar of the SmackDown roster who can hold a candle to Raw's finest.
02:43I wouldn't go that far, King.
02:45But quite a few SmackDown superstars who I'd love to have on Raw.
02:49Oh, come on, JR.
02:51Why would you want to lower the tone of the Raw locker room by bringing in some losers from SmackDown?
02:55King, next time you called Undertaker, Kurt Angle, and Chris.
02:59This is great, JR.
03:01He's really letting his opponent have it.
03:03I guess he is.
03:04But I'd like to see a little less sizzle and a little more stink.
03:08There's the reversal!
03:11I think this crowd has decided to exercise the right of free speech.
03:15God bless the First Amendment, JR!
03:23Look at this, JR!
03:25Can you imagine SmackDown calls?
03:27Fair in love and war, JR!
03:28And I love it when this guy goes to war!
03:30Whoever said that cheaters never prosper certainly never saw this man in action!
03:40Look at that!
03:41No fear whatsoever!
03:43What an amazing superstar!
03:45Be that as it may, this isn't the sort of thing that wins matches, King.
03:55I think it's pretty obvious which way this one's going to go, JR.
03:58Well, from our perspective, this is still anybody's match.
04:02I'd like to see things from your perspective, JR.
04:05But I'd have...
04:05Here's the pin!
04:06Could you see it?
04:07One, two...
04:09He almost got the three count, but almost doesn't count.
04:15Oh, boy.
04:16These top rope moves can go either way.
04:20One, two...
04:21One, two...
04:23These superstars have put in on a great match so far, JR.
04:27But if they drop the ball, these fans will let them hear about it.
04:30I don't think that's going to happen, King.
04:32These competitors know that their paychecks come straight from the WWE fans.
04:38They're not going to let them down.
04:40Yeah, but if they don't keep the fans happy...
04:42Yeah, yeah.
04:44If wishes were vicious, the world would be an ocean.
04:47But that's not the case now, it's...
04:50This is a classic match-up, King.
04:58I'm so glad the WWE fans are getting the chance to see it.
05:03Yeah, and I'm happy that I'm getting to see it, too, JR.
05:05I just wish they'd pick up the pace a little.
05:07Oh, no.
05:08This is classic old-school wrestling at its finest.
05:12You are awful.
05:13Should be able to appreciate that, King.
05:15Wait a minute, JR.
05:17You're not trying to say that I'm old, are you?
05:19Of course not, King.
05:21Although there was that rumor going around about your Social Security number of 1.
05:296.
05:31This match has the potential to be an instant classic.
05:34But I think these fans are too stupid to realize it.
05:37How can you say that, King?
05:38How can you result in relevance of these WWE fans?
05:42Well, I heard that we gave them an IQ test.
05:45And the results came back naked.
05:47Folks, I've got to apologize for the King here tonight.
05:49He must have gotten up on the wrong side of somebody else's bed this morning.
05:58I've got to say, JR, I'm really impressed by what we've seen here tonight.
06:02How could you not be, King?
06:04These are some of the finest athletes in all the sports in the team.
06:09I know that, JR.
06:10I'm just saying that this has been...
06:11He's obviously not feeling too threatened, JR.
06:14Then maybe he's not smart enough to realize how dangerous his opponent really is.
06:21Sounds like this crowd's got something on their minds, King.
06:24Who cares about that, JR?
06:26Oh my gosh!
06:27Hit first!
06:28Into the table!
06:29Over and over!
06:30And there's no give to that table whatsoever.
06:34That skull will crack before the table does.
06:42You've got to respect the commitment and the dedication of these superstars to their careers.
06:47No question about it, King.
06:48Every superstar on the roster has had to make more sacrifices than any other professional athlete I know.
06:56It really is like being married to your career.
06:58There's not much room for anything else.
07:00And marriage is a subject which you happen to be something of an authority.
07:06Isn't that right, King?
07:07Come on now, JR.
07:08A man doesn't know what true happiness is until he's married.
07:11And then it's too late.
07:12Oh!
07:12Oh!
07:13Oh!
07:14Do you believe we actually get paid to do this job, JR?
07:21It's like a dream come true, King.
07:24Except when I have to sit here and listen to you groove over the beat.
07:27Come on, JR.
07:28You know I'm helpless when it comes to puppies.
07:30Oh, I know, King.
07:32And that's why I'm bringing a picture of Iceborne out here with me next time.
07:42I think I know who's going to win this match.
07:44But I don't want to say it.
07:46I'm afraid I'll jinx it.
07:47Come on, King.
07:49Don't tell me you're superstitious.
07:52Of course not, JR.
07:53I'm not superstitious because I know that's unlucky.
08:02Boy, it's obvious these superstars have done their homework on each other.
08:05They sure have.
08:06And this is one hell of an exam.
08:09Let's hope it's not their final exam, JR.
08:11I'd love to see them go at it again.
08:12Well, I think the fans have their way.
08:15You'll get your wish, King.
08:22I've been looking forward to this match all night, JR.
08:25I can't believe it's finally underway.
08:27This has been a hotly anticipated contest.
08:30And as far as I'm concerned,
08:32I'm just living up to the hype.
08:34No question about that, JR.
08:35The fans certainly seem to be into it.
08:38That's for sure.
08:39And when it comes down to it,
08:40that's all that matters.
08:44The capacity crowd is picking their opinions known tonight.
08:48They sure are, JR.
08:49And I'd love to hear it.
08:51The submission is locked in.
08:56This could be huge.
08:57Oh, my gosh, JR.
08:59You can't go along without tapping out to this.
09:02Would you look at that?
09:04A blatantly illegal maneuver.
09:07That should be a disqualification.
09:09You might be right, JR.
09:10But I don't hear the ring bell.
09:11This match is still going.
09:13I've got a feeling that this has all the makings of an instant classic.
09:23That's probably just gas, JR.
09:26Well, I did have some good old barbers before I not show,
09:30but I don't think that's it.
09:38After some of the things we've seen in this ring, JR,
09:40I think we'd better...
09:41There he goes, JR!
09:42We all know what's coming next!
09:47Oh, well, I love him!
09:49Talk about having no respect for your opponent!
09:52Well, if you've got a problem with it,
09:55maybe you should do something about it, JR!
10:03You can look at any professional sport you want, JR,
10:06and you won't find more incredible athletes
10:08than the WWE superstars.
10:10You're not wrong, King.
10:11They compete every league
10:13until they are physically incapable of continuing.
10:17There's no more off-season in the WWE.
10:19We're not talking about running a ball down a field
10:22or slamming a puck into a net.
10:23This is serious physical competition.
10:25And here is, the toughest athletes in the world
10:29are on the WWE roster,
10:32and that's a fact.
10:33I think we're going to find out just how much punishment did that.
10:42No!
10:43No!
10:43How can the referee allow something like that?
10:47Come on, JR!
10:48You know what the referee's hot plan doesn't include vision?
10:51Asking who you want to win, I don't think the fans appreciated that one very much,
11:01but I don't think he cares much what the fans think.
11:03That much is obvious, King.
11:05What a lowdown of a despicable move, that one!
11:14Boy, what a match.
11:16I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to who's going to win this thing.
11:20What?
11:21Have you got both your contacts in one eye, JR?
11:23It's still obvious to me since the start of the match.
11:26Oh, really?
11:28Well, then, why don't you just enlighten the rest of us, King?
11:31No way!
11:32I can already tell this is going to be a great match,
11:34and I don't want to ruin the ending for you.
11:36You're too kind, King.
11:38You're also full of horse manure, as far as I can tell.
11:48So, King, any predictions about the outcome of this match?
11:52No, no.
11:52No, every time I make a guess as to who's going to win,
11:54I never hear the end of it from you.
11:56Maybe that wouldn't happen if you got one right now, man.
12:05This has gone beyond just being a match, JR.
12:07I think these superstars genuinely hate each other.
12:10There's no good loss between these competitors, that's for sure.
12:14If looks could kill,
12:15somebody would be pushing up daisies right now.
12:18And you've got to admit,
12:20that makes for a much more interesting match, JR.
12:22It sure does.
12:23But I just hope these superstars can settle their differences in the ring and leave it at that.
12:30Well, you can't ever accuse the WWE fans of being shy about saying,
12:33what the, he's got that submission hole locked in.
12:36He sure does, JR.
12:37He might make his opponent tap out right here.
12:45So, how do you think this one's going to turn out, JR?
12:47Honestly, King, I have absolutely no idea.
12:52Anything can happen here in the WWE.
12:54But you've got to have a guess, right?
12:56I might, but I'd rather keep it to myself,
12:58because it's all the same to you, King.
13:06These fans can't stand it when he does this, JR.
13:08But I think it's great.
13:10He's sure not going to win over any fans with that move.
13:13But I don't think that bothers him too much, Clyde Frank.
13:21JR's not going to be happy about this one, folks.
13:24I think one of his favorites is going to get beat like the proverbial government mule.
13:28I'm not playing favorite, King.
13:30I might have issues with certain superstars as human beings.
13:34But I respect their in-ring abilities nonetheless.
13:37JR, you're so full of it,
13:39and you've got diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain.
13:48Oh, but I love him.
13:49Open your eyes, Red.
13:51I can't believe he's going to play with that.
13:53Well, you might not like it, JR,
13:55but he's going to do whatever it takes to win this one.
14:01Oh, man.
14:02That's going to change the tone of this match, JR.
14:04Yeah, and not for the better either.
14:06I wish the ref would actually pay attention to what's going on.
14:16Well, from the looks of things,
14:18it's not hard to tell how this one's going to go.
14:20What are you talking about, King?
14:22I think this is still an extremely competitive match
14:26that could go either way.
14:28You know, JR, it's obvious that the only exercise you get
14:32is stretching the truth or jumping the conclusion.
14:36Well, judging from the shape behind you, man,
14:38I don't appear to be doing good.
14:39Well, this crowd doesn't seem to share your opinion.
14:52And quite frankly, I hope this comes back to rival.
14:55Did you ever think you'd be watching these superstars
15:06compete against each other here tonight, JR?
15:08I had a feeling their paths were going to cross sooner or later.
15:12And I'm glad I'm here to see it.
15:14Me too.
15:15It almost makes it worth having to sit next to you
15:18and listen to those corny expressions of yours.
15:20What the heck is a government mule anyway?
15:24It's what you get beat like.
15:26We're in the middle of the sovereign art.
15:29And if you don't have the guts to stick with,
15:31oh, would you look at this?
15:33Talk about Eric.
15:35It's sick.
15:36Come on.
15:37Oh, my gosh, JR.
15:38He's not worth it.
15:39The RPO.
15:41The RPO.
15:43I don't think he has a tip to get this crowd on his side
15:45to bang off me.
15:47He's not trying to get the crowd on his side, JR.
15:49He's letting everyone know
15:51that he's going to win this one
15:53whether they like it or not.
16:01You know, JR, when I saw this match on paper,
16:04I wasn't too sure about it.
16:05But it's turned out a lot better than I thought it would.
16:08I'm not at all surprised again.
16:10I knew this was going to be a terrific matchup.
16:14Oh, come on, JR.
16:15You're just talking through your hat.
16:17And speaking of hats,
16:19when are you going to get rid of that silly thing anyway?
16:21Right about the time you stop wearing that crown.
16:24Man, is there even going to be anything left of these superstars
16:35by the time they're done?
16:36Not if they have their way, King.
16:39Everything they came in here with tonight
16:41is going to be left in that ring.
16:44Mark my words.
16:45I hope these fans appreciate it, JR.
16:48These superstars are putting it all on the line
16:50for them right here tonight.
16:55Did you see that?
16:57Ring the damn bell.
16:59You can't let somebody get away with that.
17:01I don't think the ref saw it, JR.
17:04And if the ref doesn't see it,
17:06it's not illegal.
17:09I think this crowd's giving these superstars
17:12a piece of their minds, King.
17:14Are you sure they can afford it, JR?
17:16He's really cranking up the pressure on that hole, JR.
17:24He sure is.
17:25There's no doubt he's looking for the submission right here.
17:36I'll tell you, King,
17:37I've got no earthly eye.
17:40He's going for the cover, JR.
17:41Here's your winner and still the Intercontinental Champion.
