00:01:59Passion

00:02:00Desire

00:02:01And sacrifices

00:02:02These young athletes

00:02:04Whoa

00:02:04These young athletes

00:02:06Exemplify

00:02:08What it's about, man

00:02:09You're going hot enough

00:02:11Right now with Thornton Wilson

00:02:12We're going to get to see

00:02:13A ton of gold

00:02:14These athletes

00:02:16The privilege

00:02:17Not just to win

00:02:18Not just to win

00:02:20A million dollars

00:02:21But to be a part

00:02:22Of our great industry

00:02:23And I'm here to tell you

00:02:24Gold

00:02:24This will go down

00:02:26As the toughest

00:02:27Toughen Up of all time

00:02:28I've been a part of a lot of them

00:02:29When our walks of life

00:02:30Came to Venice Beach

00:02:31This past weekend

00:02:32We will hear

00:02:33Their stories tonight

00:02:34Not just the finalists

00:02:36But the heartache

00:02:37The passion

00:02:38The success and failure

00:02:39As we kick off

00:02:41The $1 million

00:02:42I can't wait

00:02:42I'm fired up

00:02:43And I'm fired up

00:02:45About Corey Wilson

00:02:46Look at that

00:02:47Yo

00:02:48The weather

00:02:51Might be getting cool

00:02:52But don't worry guys

00:02:55Because the action

00:02:56Here on Smackdown

00:02:57Just keeps

00:02:59Getting hotter

00:03:00So

00:03:04Introducing first

00:03:07I spit in the face

00:03:09Of people

00:03:10Who don't want to be cool

00:03:12The current

00:03:16United States

00:03:17Heavyweight champion

00:03:19Carlito Caribbean

00:03:22Cool

00:03:22I'll tell you

00:03:24I don't quite like his antics

00:03:26But it has been a smashing start

00:03:28To the career

00:03:29Of Carlito

00:03:30Defeating John Cena

00:03:31Two weeks ago

00:03:32To win the United States

00:03:33Championship

00:03:34And a win over

00:03:35Rey Mysterio

00:03:36Last week

00:03:37After Mysterio

00:03:38Won that battle royal

00:03:39In the United Kingdom

00:03:40Rey Mysterio

00:03:41Went to hell

00:03:41And back

00:03:42After that battle royal

00:03:43And then

00:03:44They had the guts

00:03:45To get in there

00:03:45With Carlito

00:03:46But I'll tell you what

00:03:47Like this kid

00:03:48Carlito or not

00:03:49He is the United States

00:03:50Champion

00:03:51Cole

00:03:51He's got a swagger

00:03:52About him

00:03:53He's got an attitude

00:03:54About him

00:03:55The kid's flat out rude

00:03:56That's what I'm thinking

00:03:57Checking out

00:04:01Torrey Wilson

00:04:01I can't

00:04:02You know

00:04:03I can't find him there

00:04:04He can do what you want

00:04:09You think he thinks

00:04:10Torrey's cool

00:04:11I do

00:04:12So how you doing

00:04:17Little lady

00:04:18Do you know

00:04:21Who I am

00:04:22I'm the United States

00:04:27Heavyweight Champion

00:04:28And this title

00:04:36Looks so good on me

00:04:39And I

00:04:43Will look so good on you

00:04:48Now that

00:04:52Is cool

00:04:54And the energy

00:04:58Did you not hear what I say

00:05:07I asked you a question

00:05:12And his opponent

00:05:17Are you trying to ignore me

00:05:24That's not cool

00:05:30And his opponent

00:05:35Hailing from

00:05:37Hey

00:05:38Oh my god

00:05:44What a jerk

00:05:46And now he's laughing about it

00:05:49This guy's repulsive man

00:05:51He's got no kuth

00:05:52Carlito has absolutely no kuth

00:05:54Oh kuth

00:05:54He just spat

00:05:55That apple

00:05:55In Torrey Wilson's face

00:05:57That's completely wrong man

00:05:59It's humiliating

00:06:00To the young lady

00:06:01And this man

00:06:03Carlito's representing

00:06:04Smackdown

00:06:05As its United States Champion

00:06:07Well he sure is

00:06:09And he

00:06:09You

00:06:10You

00:06:11You

00:06:12You

00:06:13You

00:06:14Carlito will have his hands full

00:06:17In a non-title matchup here

00:06:18Against Rico tonight

00:06:20And Rico

00:06:21Looks like he's hell-bent on

00:06:23Perhaps teaching Carlito

00:06:24A measure of respect here

00:06:26Well I hope someone does

00:06:28And Rico's going right at

00:06:30Right close Carlito

00:06:31Hold on

00:06:36There's a little slap

00:06:36From Rico to Carlito

00:06:38And Carlito with the right hand

00:06:40And Rico

00:06:40Is all fired up

00:06:41In this non-title matchup

00:06:42Absolutely he is

00:06:43And Rico

00:06:44The veteran to Carlito

00:06:45Let's see him

00:06:46Oh no

00:06:46Wow what a big back

00:06:48Body drop

00:06:48A lot of height on that

00:06:50Back drop by Rico

00:06:51And there right there

00:06:52Thumb and fingers to the eyes

00:06:53By Carlito

00:06:54In Rico's face

00:06:55If you're the United States

00:06:56Champion Carlito

00:06:57How do you combat

00:06:58This unique style of Rico

00:07:00Well you're trying

00:07:01Whoa whoa whoa

00:07:01There's a swingy neck breaker

00:07:02Everybody knows that Rico

00:07:03Can throw his feet

00:07:04He's very well

00:07:05Here's the cover hook

00:07:06Of the outside

00:07:07And Rico kicks out

00:07:09I think this kid

00:07:10Carlito's done his homework

00:07:11On a lot of the

00:07:12Smackdown superstars

00:07:13Just in the past couple

00:07:14Of weeks watching Carlito

00:07:15And like I was saying

00:07:17I think that he probably

00:07:18Is aware

00:07:18Carlito that Rico

00:07:20Very educated feet

00:07:22Can kick your head right off

00:07:23So you gotta try

00:07:24And keep him on the back

00:07:25Great counter by Rico

00:07:27Rico's tag team partner

00:07:28Charlie Haas

00:07:29Along with Miss Jackie

00:07:30Of course recovering

00:07:31From injuries

00:07:32At the hands of Billy Kiffin

00:07:33As Rico

00:07:34Hammers away

00:07:35On the United States

00:07:36Champion

00:07:36A win here for Rico

00:07:37Would put him right

00:07:38In the title hunt

00:07:39Nice knee to the ribcage

00:07:40Rico whipped across the ring

00:07:43Carlito misses

00:07:43Clothesline

00:07:44And there's some of that

00:07:45Unorthodox style

00:07:46And there's the kicks

00:07:47You were talking about

00:07:48I don't think that was

00:07:48Cool as slap

00:07:49I mean

00:07:49What's this

00:07:51Oh and what

00:07:52A kick to the jaw

00:07:53Carlito

00:07:53It's like a mule kick there

00:07:55Stumbling here

00:07:56And perhaps this winning streak

00:07:57That Carlito's on

00:07:58Could be

00:07:58Rapidly coming to a close

00:08:00As we kick off

00:08:01Smackdown tonight

00:08:02Well you're just catching

00:08:03Carlito off guard

00:08:04With these kicks to the face

00:08:06Look at that

00:08:06Nice sidestep by Carlito

00:08:08Rico off the top turnbuckle

00:08:09There's a kick to the midsection

00:08:11And what's this

00:08:12I don't know

00:08:12Well he's got the heavy up

00:08:13Oh sort of a neckbreaker

00:08:15Here's the cover

00:08:17Hook of the leg

00:08:18And Carlito defeating Rico

00:08:20How would you describe that

00:08:23Here is your winner

00:08:25The United States Champion

00:08:26Carlito

00:08:28I described that

00:08:31As impressive

00:08:32A very impressive victory

00:08:34Over a very capable Rico

00:08:36And I wasn't impressed

00:08:38As Carlito did

00:08:39To Torrey Wilson

00:08:40That's for sure

00:08:42I mean Carlito just humiliating

00:08:44And Torrey Wilson

00:08:45A repulsive

00:08:46A show of disrespect

00:08:48And now Carlito putting that chain

00:08:50That was once John Cena's

00:08:52Around his neck

00:08:53That's John Cena's property

00:08:55And Carlito feels it's his

00:08:56Check this out

00:08:57Look at that

00:08:58Just talking that neck

00:08:59Spitting like a 360

00:09:00Very innovative offense

00:09:02Right there

00:09:03By Carlito

00:09:04And this is what happened

00:09:05Earlier on

00:09:06Oh my God

00:09:07No proof

00:09:08From this disgusting champion

00:09:10That is disgusting

00:09:11Repulsive nasty and violent

00:09:13And I think that's what

00:09:15Our United States Champion

00:09:17Is all about

00:09:18Well we talked about Carlito

00:09:19With that chain

00:09:20Around his neck

00:09:21That is John Cena's chain

00:09:22That was taken from Cena

00:09:23A couple of weeks ago

00:09:24And we broke the horrible news

00:09:26Last week ladies and gentlemen

00:09:27That John Cena

00:09:28Had been attacked

00:09:28In that melee

00:09:29At an after hours club

00:09:31In Boston Massachusetts

00:09:31He was fighting to save

00:09:33A kidney

00:09:34After puncture wounds

00:09:35To the kidney

00:09:35Now we can tell you this

00:09:36Oh wait

00:09:37Go go go

00:09:37Wait a minute

00:09:38What do you mean puncture wounds

00:09:39That's in other words

00:09:41Basically he was stabbed

00:09:42I mean that's what happened

00:09:43To John Cena

00:09:43He was stabbed

00:09:44That's another way of saying it

00:09:46We can tell you that

00:09:46John Cena is indeed recovering

00:09:48And if there's no other setbacks

00:09:50It looks like John Cena

00:09:51Is going to be able

00:09:52To save that kidney

00:09:53And that's wonderful news

00:09:54That's phenomenal news

00:09:56That's great

00:09:56I mean absolutely

00:09:57And we want to wish

00:09:58John Cena all the best

00:09:59And if you would like

00:09:59To send some comments

00:10:00To John Cena

00:10:01You can folks

00:10:02All you have to do

00:10:02Is go to WWE.com

00:10:04To send all your best wishes

00:10:09John Cena

00:10:09Is making progress

00:10:11In his recovery

00:10:12What do you think you're doing man

00:12:14Full force

00:12:16Right on Chavo's face

00:13:34What the hell

00:13:34Did he do that for

00:13:35Oh not this

00:13:37Somebody get out here

00:13:38And stop this damn thing

00:13:39No

00:13:40No

00:13:41Who just said

00:13:45I don't think so

00:13:46Well that's good

00:13:47Well I've absolutely lost

00:13:49All respect for this man

00:13:50Billy Kidman

00:13:51This man here

00:13:53Charlie Haas

00:13:53Wants to get even

00:13:54With Billy Kidman

00:13:55Look at the look in the eyes

00:13:57Of Charlie Haas

00:13:57And can you blame the man

00:13:58Oh I don't blame Haas at all

00:14:00I mean

00:14:00I was his fiancee

00:14:02And look at Charlie Haas

00:14:02With the right hands

00:14:03Billy Kidman bounced off

00:14:04The top turnbuckle

00:14:05And Charlie Haas

00:14:06Means business here tonight

00:14:07You are in Jackie

00:14:08You are in Jackie

00:14:09There's a lot of emotion

00:14:11Here at the Haas

00:14:12Of course that what happened

00:14:13To Jackie

00:14:13The man's in a lot of pain

00:14:14With that knee

00:14:15That knee gave out

00:14:15As he whipped Kidman

00:14:16Across the face

00:14:16Look at Billy Kidman

00:14:17Kidman knows now

00:14:19He's got an open boom

00:14:20Man to attack

00:14:21Billy Kidman unsympathetic

00:14:22Cold hearted and harsh

00:14:23Billy Kidman up to the top rope

00:14:25You gotta be kidding me here

00:14:27He's not gonna do this

00:14:28Look at that

00:14:30Oh with the suit

00:14:31He's not cross connecting

00:14:32It is Billy Kidman

00:14:33Delivering the shooting star press

00:14:35Right to the injured knee

00:14:36That shooting star press

00:14:38Has become a reckless maneuver

00:14:40For Billy Kidman

00:14:41I'm gonna take care of the only person

00:14:43That cares about me

00:14:44It's me

00:14:45Ooh

00:14:48Chavo

00:14:49For Chavo Guerrero

00:14:57This night has been

00:14:5755 days in the making

00:15:00It was August 26th

00:15:01It was August 26th

00:15:02When Chavo Guerrero

00:15:03Was knocked out for a full five minutes

00:15:05At the hands of Billy Kidman

00:15:08Ladies and gentlemen

00:15:11Please welcome back

00:15:13Chavo Guerrero

00:15:16Taz what in the world could be going through the mind of this fan

00:15:19Chavo Guerrero

00:15:20I don't know

00:15:21I think if I'm Chavo

00:15:23And I know Chavo pretty good

00:15:25He's probably excited to be back

00:15:26I'm sure he is

00:15:27He looks good

00:15:28I mean I hope his health is good

00:15:30He's here

00:15:31I mean I'm happy to see him

00:15:32He gave us a hell of a scare

00:15:34Big time

00:15:35We talked about being knocked out for a full five minutes

00:15:37In fact he didn't quite know where he was for 20 minutes

00:15:41It was a scary evening in Fresno, California

00:15:44I'll never forget it

00:15:46Never will forget it

00:15:47And I'm sure Chavo Guerrero hasn't forgotten

00:15:50You can see his face

00:15:52You can see Chavo's face

00:15:53Looks like he's getting a little emotional

00:15:55Because of the

00:15:55Sign of respect from the SmackDown fans here

00:15:59Well many people call Chavo Guerrero

00:16:01The greatest cruiserweight in SmackDown history

00:16:03And it's hard to argue that point

00:16:05He's a bit nervous

00:16:11Maybe he's a little rusty

00:16:12Give him a break

00:16:13Give him a chance

00:16:14You know whether you guys love me

00:16:15Or whether you guys hate me

00:16:19The support I got

00:16:24While I was sitting at home hurt

00:16:28Was overwhelming

00:16:33And for that

00:16:39I just want to say

00:16:41Thank you

00:16:43You guys have no idea

00:16:54How

00:16:57Just how

00:17:00Excited I was

00:17:02To come back here

00:17:04And step foot

00:17:05In this ring

00:17:07To step foot

00:17:09At SmackDown

00:17:11And to come back

00:17:13Home

00:17:14From the bottom

00:17:20Of my heart

00:17:22Now what

00:17:24Oh no

00:17:26This is just

00:17:28Disrespect

00:17:29Give me a break

00:17:30The nerve of Billy Kidman

00:17:32To come out here

00:17:33When the man that he

00:17:35He injured

00:17:36And almost ended

00:17:37The career of

00:17:38Chavo Guerrero

00:17:39With a heartfelt thank you

00:17:41And Kidman has the nerve

00:17:42To walk out here

00:17:43Oh Billy Kidman

00:17:45Is totally self-serving

00:17:47Ryan I don't know if he's trying to steal

00:17:48Spotlight here

00:17:49What he's trying to do

00:17:50But I do know this

00:17:52It was intentional

00:17:53With Kidman

00:17:54And Chavo Guerrero

00:17:55The evidence is beginning

00:17:56To look that way

00:17:57Stop pressing his temple

00:17:59And they're putting Chavo out forever

00:18:02Chavo I think I speak for everyone

00:18:08When I say

00:18:09That it's great to have you back here

00:18:11In the ring

00:18:12And I hope you got my cards

00:18:17My letters

00:18:17The flowers I sent

00:18:19And you know

00:18:19You look great man

00:18:21Look at you

00:18:21But you know

00:18:25We go way back Chavo

00:18:26All the way back to WCW days

00:18:28And we've been through a lot

00:18:29But I think

00:18:31That this incident

00:18:32Has brought us closer together

00:18:33Because you know

00:18:35In a way

00:18:35We're both victims

00:18:37I mean you suffered

00:18:41From the horrible concussion

00:18:42But I suffered too

00:18:44I mean

00:18:50These people turned on me

00:18:52And made me into a monster

00:18:54Over an accident

00:18:56An accident

00:18:58And you just don't know

00:19:03What I had to deal with

00:19:05After

00:19:06After your thing

00:19:08I mean

00:19:10I just wish that there were

00:19:13More people like you

00:19:14Because even though

00:19:17You people don't forgive me

00:19:18For what happened

00:19:19I know that Chavo Guerrero does

00:19:21And that's all that matters

00:19:24Isn't that right Chavo

00:19:26Tell him

00:19:27Tell him how it is

00:19:28You know

00:19:33It's funny you should say that Billy

00:19:35This is a tough sport

00:19:38This is a tough business

00:19:39There's no denying that

00:19:41Nobody will argue with that

00:19:42We got a saying

00:19:44In the locker room

00:19:45That this isn't ballet

00:19:46This is a tough

00:19:48Tough business

00:19:49So when I was thinking

00:19:52About making my comeback

00:19:54My family was

00:19:57They were horrified

00:19:58My wife was hysterical

00:20:00My kids

00:20:02My kids were so upset

00:20:05They were crying to me

00:20:06They were saying

00:20:07Daddy

00:20:07Please don't go back to wrestling

00:20:09Please don't go back and get hurt

00:20:12Please don't go back and hurt your brain

00:20:13I was this close

00:20:22To never

00:20:23Ever

00:20:25Returning

00:20:26To something

00:20:27That I love

00:20:29But then

00:20:34An old friend

00:20:37Convinced me otherwise

00:20:41A friend that stood by me

00:20:46Through this entire ordeal

00:20:48Stood by me

00:20:49And my family

00:20:50A friend that

00:20:53Without him

00:20:54I wouldn't be here today

00:20:56And for that

00:20:59I am eternally

00:21:04Grateful

00:21:06I don't know what to say

00:21:23And Billy by the way

00:21:26That friend I was talking about

00:21:28Sure the hell wasn't you

00:21:31And I tell you this self-serving

00:21:38This self-centered

00:21:39Billy Kidman

00:21:40Deserves all of this

00:21:42He sure does

00:21:43And Chavo Guerrero

00:21:45Looks like he's right back on target

00:21:47And that target

00:21:48Is on Billy Kidman's knees

00:21:50Chavo stomping away

00:21:53At the man who almost ended his career

00:21:55I dare say that Billy Kidman deserved every bit of that

00:22:12No doubt about it

00:22:25Chavo Guerrero is back with a vengeance

00:22:30I'm gonna be so excited

00:22:41Because your match is next

00:22:42Your first match ever here on Smackdown

00:22:45Okay

00:22:46I just came from the general manager

00:22:47Theodore Long's office

00:22:48And he wants to cancel your match

00:22:51No!

00:22:53Listen

00:22:53It's my match

00:22:54It goes tonight no matter what

00:22:56I'm with you

00:22:56I understand

00:22:57I love your passion

00:22:58But the man has a valid concern

00:23:00Theodore Long

00:23:01General manager of Smackdown

00:23:03Is concerned

00:23:03Because you might attack an announcer

00:23:06You might attack a fan

00:23:07He's afraid you might even hurt yourself out there

00:23:09It's an insurance liability

00:23:10He's answerable to the board of directors

00:23:12Now listen

00:23:14He made an offer

00:23:15And I can't advise you to take it

00:23:17Long says you can wrestle your match

00:23:19As long as you wear this straight jacket

00:23:24A straight jacket

00:23:25But I'm responsible for you

00:23:27Which means I have to strap you into this straight jacket

00:23:30I take you out to the ring

00:23:31When we get out there

00:23:33I unstrap you

00:23:34You wrestle your match

00:23:35Win, lose or draw

00:23:37We both know it'll be win

00:23:38Okay

00:23:39I have to strap you back in

00:23:41Put me back in this

00:23:42I don't like it

00:23:43And I gotta tell you why

00:23:44If you wear this straight jacket

00:23:46You're defenseless

00:23:47Which means then

00:23:49You're game for the undertaker

00:23:51Right

00:23:53I understand

00:23:54Listen

00:23:54I'm gonna take this back to Theodore Wong

00:23:56I'll work something out with the lawyers for next week

00:23:58I'm sorry if I offended you with this

00:23:59It wasn't my idea

00:24:00It was Theodore Wong's idea

00:24:01You wait

00:24:02I'll wear it

00:24:04I'll wear the straight jacket

00:24:06Put it on me

00:24:07Put it on me now

00:24:09Okay, okay

00:24:10You wanna wear this?

00:24:10I'll do it

00:24:11I can't advise you to do this

00:24:13Hold on

00:24:14Okay, turn around

00:24:15This is

00:24:16Yeah

00:24:19Yeah, this feels good

00:24:20Yeah

00:24:21Paul

00:24:23Yeah

00:24:24This feels like home

00:24:26This feels like home

00:24:28Sweet home

00:24:31Smackdown coming to you from the Metro Center

00:24:36Rockford, Illinois

00:24:37And what a show it's been

00:24:39What a show this has been on Smackdown

00:24:41But what a show coming up next month

00:24:43And I'm talking about Survivor Series

00:24:4518 years this great event

00:24:48There was a big old press conference

00:24:50At the Gund Arena

00:24:51In Cleveland, Ohio

00:24:52Couldn't be a better place to be

00:24:57Than Cleveland, Ohio

00:24:58In the Gund Arena

00:24:58For Survivor Series

00:25:00There's a lot of history

00:25:02With this event

00:25:03The very first ever Survivor Series

00:25:06Was right here in Cleveland

00:25:07Can't wait to see it's one of the biggest events of the year

00:25:09Survivor Series is the night

00:25:11Where anything can happen

00:25:13And you get to see the greatest stars

00:25:15From both rosters

00:25:17Raw and Smackdown

00:25:19The greatest superstars

00:25:20All under one roof

00:25:21In one night

00:25:22I'm so excited

00:25:24Survivor Series is coming

00:25:25Right here in Cleveland

00:25:26I love Cleveland

00:25:27I do

00:25:27You guys are great, great fans

00:25:29Do it when they watch out

00:25:31JBL

00:25:33JBL

00:25:34Who knows what's gonna happen

00:25:36When Raw and Smackdown

00:25:37Get together at Survivor Series

00:25:38We can certainly promise you

00:25:40That we're gonna raise them hell

00:25:41November 14th

00:25:43We're coming to town

00:25:44Be fortunate enough

00:25:46And be smart enough

00:25:47To be part of it

00:25:48Woo

00:25:49This might be a first for Smackdown

00:26:03Superstar comes out here in a straitjacket

00:26:09I believe Hyden Wright deserves to be in a straitjacket

00:26:14After everything that's happened over the past couple of months

00:26:16Including nearly three weeks ago

00:26:17At no mercy

00:26:18Hyden Wright is a man who has no care for his own health and well-being

00:26:22That's why he's so dangerous

00:26:29He probably get in the room with that straitjacket

00:26:34Well, at no mercy

00:26:35Hyden Wright caused the Undertaker the championship in the last ride match

00:26:39It was Paul Heyman driving the hearse with The Undertaker inside

00:26:42And then this crazy

00:26:46It was Paul Heyman driving the hearse with The Undertaker inside.

00:26:51And then this pre-meditated attack by Heidenreich.

00:26:56Check this out.

00:26:58Look at this, at full speed that Bronco crashing into the hearse.

00:27:04What we would find out later on when the Jaws of Life opened the hearse up,

00:27:09there was no Undertaker.

00:27:11Yeah, that's the thing.

00:27:12What's the deal, man?

00:27:14If I'm Heidenreich, that would freak me out.

00:27:17I know Heyman's freaked out, but the thing that got me is Heidenreich wanted to be,

00:27:21he said, I have no problem, put me in a straightjack.

00:27:23He said, it feels like home.

00:27:25Yeah, it feels like home.

00:27:26Raleigh, North Carolina, weighing in at 207 pounds, Shannon Moore.

00:27:33Shannon Moore may wanna go home.

00:27:35Well, I'm getting the idea that Heidenreich's been in a few straightjackets in his day.

00:27:40Now, put yourself in Shannon Moore's position here.

00:27:43Do I really have to, cuz I don't like his handcuffs, but that's not true.

00:27:45You talked about it earlier,

00:27:46Shannon Moore's like an orderly and a psychoward, right?

00:27:48Yeah, so the ring is like surrounded by like, it's like a panted room.

00:27:52The ring's like in a panted room, it's like a psychoward.

00:27:55And Shannon Moore, he's got like a hospital aid with no help, no escape, and my friend, no hope.

00:28:00And look at Shannon Moore, Shannon Moore wasting a little time trying to get to Heidenreich before that straightjacket.

00:28:07Come on, look at Heidenreich with a headbutt.

00:28:10Now remember, Undertaker does his things his way.

00:28:13He'll get to Heidenreich when he well pleases, and if Undertaker is here, Heidenreich may be vulnerable.

00:28:18That could be tonight.

00:28:19I don't know.

00:28:20Heidenreich still doesn't have that straightjacket off, but he's still pummeling Shannon Moore.

00:28:24It's not slowing down Heidenreich, I'm still getting over that headbutt again.

00:28:28Man, did you see that?

00:28:29I heard it, I saw it, and right now the, and every time Heidenreich gets near the audience,

00:28:35I get a little nervous.

00:28:37Remember, a lawsuit has been threatened after Heidenreich assaulted some fans a couple of weeks ago,

00:28:42and you can't blame General Manager Theodore Long for wanting Heidenreich in a straightjacket out here.

00:28:46There's a liability to man, Heidenreich does not belong in public.

00:28:50I've been saying that for two weeks, and I'm standing by it.

00:28:53And Shannon Moore, oh, you gotta give this kid some credit.

00:28:56Shannon Moore landing right on the ribs of Heidenreich, and the big man is down.

00:29:00Fighting for his life, bro.

00:29:02This kid's Shannon Moore, he's fighting for his life.

00:29:05Heidenreich back to his feet, shoving Moore, and a big boot to the face.

00:29:09And I think that a landing on the ribs of Heidenreich just fired up this guy.

00:29:12And he's got such a sick look on his face, such a psychotic look in his eye.

00:29:18Well, he's the Reigns for sure.

00:29:19Uh-oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:29:21What a backbreaker.

00:29:22Actually, I think it was the ribs of, like, a rib break, but look at the eyes of Heidenreich.

00:29:25The intensity.

00:29:26What do you think the hell?

00:29:28First time, Moore.

00:29:29The problem is, is I don't even believe Paul Heyman can control this guy.

00:29:33Nobody can control this guy.

00:29:34Oh, a straight right hand.

00:29:35No punching, open hands on him.

00:29:37Big monster, Carl.

00:29:38You were trapped in a room.

00:29:39What is that like?

00:29:40I tell you, we got an idea over the past couple of weeks how sick this man was through his poetry.

00:29:45And I can tell you firsthand how sick this man is.

00:29:49He had been kidnapped in that room, remember that?

00:29:51How could I forget?

00:29:53Better you than me, my man, but Shannon Moore's in trouble.

00:29:56Whoa, whoa.

00:29:58Wow.

00:29:59Here's the cover lights out.

00:30:02What a successful debut for Heidenreich.

00:30:06Here's your winner, Heidenreich.

00:30:10Bucks' first official match, and he got the win pretty convincingly, Paul.

00:30:15What do you think?

00:30:16You think?

00:30:16Yeah, I know it.

00:30:17And Paul Heyman doing the right thing here.

00:30:20Okay, Mr. Heidenreich, get back in his straitjacket so everybody's safe.

00:30:24Look at the eyes of Paul.

00:30:26This cat is just not here.

00:30:28He's, wow.

00:30:31Who called the straitjacket home?

00:30:33Looks like getting some sick pleasure out of putting that straitjacket on.

00:30:36How do you know?

00:30:38Let's take another look at the total domination of Heidenreich here tonight.

00:30:42First, Shannon Moore starving things off with a flurry while Heidenreich was in that straitjacket.

00:30:47Oh, he got the man in a straitjacket.

00:30:48He's gonna take advantage of the shot of him off.

00:30:51He blocked in that headbutt with his face in the head.

00:30:53Well, there was no blocking that.

00:30:55Clothesline, and there was no blocking this.

00:30:58Let's give it.

00:30:58He wasn't gonna block it.

00:30:59Look at this.

00:31:01Sidewalk slam, whatever he wants to call.

00:31:03Heidenreich, dominating.

00:31:08Get the mic, get the mic, get the mic, get the mic, get the mic, get the mic, get the mic, get the mic, get the mic, get the mic, get the mic.

00:31:14He's demanding a microphone.

00:31:16He's got something to say.

00:31:18He's got something to say.

00:31:20What?

00:31:22Undertaker, Teddy Long said you would deal with me on your terms.

00:31:33It's my terms, your time, no, it's my terms, my time, tonight.

00:31:46Undertaker, I stand here defenseless.

00:31:52Do I have to remind you what I did to you?

00:31:57I demand you to come out here and face me now, now, now, now.

00:32:12You gotta be kidding me.

00:32:13Well, let's see.

00:32:14The man is strapped in a straitjacket, and he's demanding the Phenom come out here.

00:32:18Now, bring me, Undertaker, bring him to me.

00:32:26Okay, okay.

00:32:28Me!

00:32:29John, okay.

00:32:30John, okay.

00:32:31I'm waiting, man.

00:32:40Excuse me, player.

00:32:41Yeah, hey, daddy.

00:32:42You think it's cool to spit in a woman's face?

00:32:44Yeah, what are you talking about, man?

00:32:46I didn't do anything to her.

00:32:48She just, just loves Calico.

00:32:50Not her.

00:32:51I'm talking about Terry Wilson.

00:32:53Oh, and by the way, since I got you here, I want to ask you a question.

00:32:56Are you sure you wasn't in that nightclub the night John Cena was attacked?

00:33:01Me?

00:33:03I told you, I don't hang out with thugs.

00:33:07They're not cool.

00:33:09Well, I'm going to tell you something.

00:33:10That's not what the authorities are telling me.

00:33:13Now, I'm going to ask you one more time.

00:33:16Were you in that club the night John Cena was attacked?

00:33:20Listen, man.

00:33:22The tone of your voice right now?

00:33:25That's not cool.

00:33:26I'm not answering any more of your questions until I talk to my lawyers.

00:33:30WWE Hero Tour in Ireland, and we're getting down and dirty!

00:33:44Attention, we have a special guest in the front of the store.

00:33:48He's extremely cool.

00:33:50I'm here from Dublin.

00:33:51I'm here to see the show in the Odyssey Arena tonight.

00:33:55Seeing him in person instead of just on TV,

00:33:57being just a few feet away from him was amazing.

00:34:00It's certainly a dream for me to come true.

00:34:14I tried to buy the statue of David that Michelangelo built.

00:34:17They wouldn't let me,

00:34:18but I think it has something to do with the exchange rate right now.

00:34:21It's amazing to me that fans, they love me everywhere.

00:34:24They created a huge flag, huge FBI flag, and it gave that young man a chance to get in the ring

00:34:46and take a look around from our eyes when we look around that arena and see all those screaming people.

00:34:51And hopefully that kid will have this to remember for the rest of his life.

00:34:54Smackdown's general manager, Theodore R. Long, just to let you know we are alive, Nottingham, England.

00:35:01Completely sold out, we're really looking forward to it.

00:35:04It's going to be down and dirty.

00:35:06Even being 6,000 miles away from home when we meet our fans,

00:35:09we kind of still feel like we're at home.

00:35:11Look at me, I'm shaking, I'm so... I love it.

00:35:14We're actually going to see it live as opposed to just on TV, which is once in a lifetime chance.

00:35:19So when we're here, they're stoked and they show it.

00:35:22I take it as appreciation, I take it as them saying, Rob, thanks for coming.

00:35:27I've been to many places, I haven't seen one cool place yet.

00:35:30Hopefully by the end of this tour, we'll find some cool people.

00:35:32The wonderful thing about wrestling is it's a universal language.

00:35:50BT, my man, what's up?

00:35:53JBL, the WWE Champion, sent me to find you.

00:36:03He wanted to talk to you about some of the six-man tag team stuff that's going on tonight.

00:36:11Look, look man, if this is about anything that stuff that happened a couple of weeks ago,

00:36:16any misunderstandings, if I disrespect you in any way at all by calling you Doug,

00:36:21I just want to say, man, I'm sorry, cool.

00:36:32So, what can I tell him you'll be there?

00:36:44Well, the champ is looking for Booker T, but they're not on the same team tonight.

00:36:48It's a champion showcase, Mysterio, Rob Van Dam, and Booker T against JBL, Kenzo Suzuki,

00:36:55and Rene Dupree.

00:36:56Yeah, but whose side is Booker T on?

00:36:58That's the question.

00:36:59Great question.

00:37:00Great ovation for Eddie Guerrero, but coming up tonight, you will meet the eight finalists for the $1 million

00:37:10Toughen Up.

00:37:11Well, absolutely, Colin.

00:37:13I want to tell a quick story about a young man, a young athlete named Brian Danovich,

00:37:18who totally exemplifies desire and passion.

00:37:22This guy, this man, this athlete, he ripped his pectoral muscle, which is the chest,

00:37:27and his biceps still came back the next day to compete.

00:37:32He never quit.

00:37:33Brian never quit.

00:37:34That's what this $1 million Toughen Up is about, the passion, the desire.

00:37:38You're going to hear some of those stories tonight here on SmackDown.

00:37:42I can't wait, man.

00:37:43Talk about somebody that's got passion and desire.

00:37:45That's what Eddie Guerrero is all about.

00:37:47Well, that's Latino, he's deal.

00:37:48Eddie Guerrero and even a close call last week on SmackDown.

00:38:05It was Eddie versus Luther Reigns one-on-one.

00:38:08When Luther Reigns' running buddy, Mark Ginrack would eventually get involved.

00:38:12And off that swinging neck breaker, down came Kurt Angle, clippers and scissors in hand.

00:38:17Every intention to cut in his hair, to rape him of his dignity like they did to the Big Show.

00:38:22Oh, yeah.

00:38:23That would be the Big Show making sure that didn't happen.

00:38:25Eddie Guerrero has got a haircut in the United Kingdom.

00:38:27But I'll tell you what, the big man, the Big Show, had none of that.

00:38:31But Eddie Guerrero will go it alone tonight against Mark Ginrack.

00:38:34Big Show is not here tonight.

00:38:36Big Show is on a promotional appearance.

00:38:40Well, tonight SmackDown is sponsored by The Grudge.

00:38:43In theaters October 22nd, rated PG-13.

00:38:48And by PlayStation 2, living your world, playing ours.

00:38:52And by new clear self for men, clear a skin while you wash and shake.

00:38:57And from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing at 263 pounds, Mark Ginrack.

00:39:09Ginrack accompanied by another Kurt Angle protégé.

00:39:11The mean, the bad, the violent Luther Reigns.

00:39:15And he's gonna have to have eyes in the back of his head here tonight.

00:39:19He's gonna have eyes in the back of his head, the front of his head, the side of his head,

00:39:23all around his head, looking at those eyes everywhere, basically, because you gotta watch

00:39:26Luther Reigns, that shady man, and this Mark Ginrack, he can go.

00:39:30And you see referee Brian Hecker basically warning Luther Reigns, stay out of this matchup,

00:39:36or you're gonna be heading back to the locker room to watch the rest of it.

00:39:39It's one-on-one, let's go, come on.

00:39:41Luther Reigns giving Mark Ginrack a little encouragement.

00:39:45So it's the veteran Eddie Guerrero, the former WWE Champion,

00:39:48against another Kurt Angle protégé, Mark Ginrack.

00:39:50And it was a few weeks ago that Ginrack shocked us all when he came out,

00:39:54and there you hear the Eddie chants, when Ginrack came out joining Kurt Angle

00:39:59and involving himself in the cutting of the hair of the Big Show.

00:40:02Yeah, absolutely, completely humiliating the man,

00:40:04but right now we got Ginrack and Guerrero, be careful,

00:40:08don't wanna join a hole in the hole with Guerrero, go catch it.

00:40:11But I'll tell you, Mark Ginrack, an impressive athlete, he thinks very highly of himself,

00:40:15but obviously Kurt Angle thinks highly of Ginrack as well.

00:40:18Well, Ginrack, a tremendous wrestler, a great athlete,

00:40:22tremendous basketball player as well.

00:40:24And now look at...

00:40:24Basketball.

00:40:25Mark Ginrack with one arm.

00:40:26This is not basketball, what are you calling my basketball?

00:40:28He has a 40-inch vertical leap, which comes into play many times in a matchup.

00:40:33Well, when I wrestled, that didn't really help me, my vertical leap.

00:40:36Yours was about, what, three inches?

00:40:37These are the lizard legs right away.

00:40:39You can make fun of me, girl pants.

00:40:41Anyway, Mark Ginrack now left right here.

00:40:43Eddie Guerrero into a top wrist lock on Mark Ginrack.

00:40:46Well, look at Ginrack, a little bit of cockiness as he goes back to the side headlock.

00:40:50He's got a lot of kind.

00:40:52Oh, Ginrack looks good.

00:40:53Well, there's Eddie Guerrero pulling the hair, a little bit of Eddie Guerrero,

00:40:56using the hair to his advantage, lying, cheating, stealing.

00:40:59My hair, get out of my hair.

00:41:01You got the opportunity to yank someone by the hip.

00:41:05Eddie's saying Ginrack is whining about it.

00:41:07That's part of Eddie's game plan.

00:41:09Exactly, that's what I was gonna say.

00:41:10And now two arm drags, five drop kick.

00:41:13Followed by a nice drop kick.

00:41:14Eddie gets in your head.

00:41:16That's the veteran that he gets in your brain.

00:41:17And he's taking the rather inexperienced Ginrack out of the game here.

00:41:21Eddie Guerrero in total control.

00:41:23Will he knock off the angle?

00:41:24Protégé Ginrack when we come back.

00:41:26Back on SmackDown, nice arm dragged by Mark Ginrack.

00:41:31Eddie Guerrero has been in total control of this matchup throughout the commercial break.

00:41:35Eddie Guerrero now controlling the head, controlling the upper body of Mark Ginrack.

00:41:40And that's what you want to do when a guy, when a man is a lot taller than you, bigger than you.

00:41:44You want to control his head so you can slow down his body a bit.

00:41:47Nice side headlock takedown by Guerrero.

00:41:49It has been some night on SmackDown here from the Metro Center in Rockford, Illinois.

00:41:53Still to come, the $1 million toughen up you will meet.

00:41:57The eight finalists who have a shot at winning that $1 million WWE contract.

00:42:03I can't wait. All I've heard is so—I just can't wait to see this toughen up.

00:42:07It's the toughest—the toughest toughen up ever.

00:42:10Well, what about some of the stories that we've heard that came out of Venice Beach, California this weekend?

00:42:14The passion and the desire of these 50 applicants narrow down to eight.

00:42:18I heard from a very reliable source that you needed a couple of ambulances to get people back and forth.

00:42:25There were athletes dropping left and right, people upchucking and throwing up all over the place.

00:42:29Nice suplex by Mark Ginrack quickly into the cover on Guerrero.

00:42:31Hook of the leg and a kick out.

00:42:33Ginrack is just staying on top of Guerrero now with a rear naked choke on Eddie Guerrero.

00:42:39Hey, Mark Ginrack, as you look at Luther Reigns, the big brute, looking on.

00:42:43Ginrack has been impressive in this matchup as he has been since coming under the tutelage of Kurt Angle.

00:42:48A lot of bad blood between Luther Reigns and Eddie Guerrero, that's for sure.

00:42:51Kurt Angle has done a wonderful job in the wrestling room with Ginrack and Luther Reigns.

00:42:56You know, I'm just very surprised that Luther Reigns has been able to, you know, restrain himself from getting involved in this matchup.

00:43:01Look at that face. First great counter by Eddie Guerrero.

00:43:04Well, the referee warned Luther Reigns at the start of the matchup, you get involved, you're going back to the locker room.

00:43:09You think that matters for a guy with Luther Reigns? You said the guy was in jail, he'd been shot, he'd been everything.

00:43:13The guy's like, you know, he's an animal.

00:43:15Luther Reigns really does not respect authority. Here's Eddie Guerrero whipped across the ring.

00:43:20And by Ginrack, big back, body drop, and Eddie's in trouble.

00:43:23Ginrack, cover, puts the leg, shoulders down, and Eddie Guerrero rolls the shoulder out.

00:43:28And see, Ginrack's smart enough, he's got the wear with all the stay on top of Guerrero.

00:43:33He knows he's got Eddie on the ropes here, and you've got to be careful of Eddie.

00:43:37He's very, very crafty, a large cheese and steel, it's a famous addition, very crafty.

00:43:44These great SmackDown fans have been alive all night long, trying to will Eddie Guerrero on,

00:43:49trying to get him back into this matchup as Ginrack continues the pressure.

00:43:53I mean, Mark, Ginrack, tremendous physical specimen.

00:43:57Look at the body on this guy.

00:43:59There's Eddie trying to fire up, Latino, he's trying to fire up.

00:44:02Whoa, whoa, whoa, on his elbows.

00:44:04An uppercut.

00:44:06Major League up and cut right there.

00:44:08And Luka Reigns, referee didn't see it backwards turned, Luka Reigns got involved.

00:44:12I guess he couldn't restrain himself anymore, Luka.

00:44:17Luka Reigns, went out of Kurt Angle's playbook, did it when the referee's back was turned.

00:44:21And look at this.

00:44:22Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:44:23Wow, two to roll over the head scissors for Eddie Guerrero.

00:44:27As he controls Mark Ginrack.

00:44:29And Ginrack don't know where he's at.

00:44:31Who to the gut, heads up, looks this.

00:44:33He's on D&T, maybe not.

00:44:35Oh, nice two-punched by Eddie Guerrero.

00:44:37And here, perhaps, come the Three Amigos.

00:44:39And there goes one.

00:44:40Let's see if he can pop off the second.

00:44:42Bam, there it is.

00:44:43He pops those hips.

00:44:45Brings the taller man straight over.

00:44:47Tough to throw a guy that tall.

00:44:50See if we get the third one.

00:44:51Bam.

00:44:51Yes, he tracks with the Three Amigos.

00:44:53And Eddie Guerrero is feeling it.

00:44:57Luke's gonna pop off the building here and rock forward.

00:45:00Look at Eddie out to the apron.

00:45:02Luther on the entrance.

00:45:03Big foot to the jaw.

00:45:04That's Luther Reigns off the apron.

00:45:06Hey, get out!

00:45:07Get out!

00:45:08Well, that's it.

00:45:08Referee's had enough.

00:45:09Referee said, and Luther Reigns back to the locker room.

00:45:12Let's go, Luka Reigns.

00:45:13Get out of the seat.

00:45:14Don't let me get out of here.

00:45:15Well, I'll tell you, Luther.

00:45:15Wait a minute.

00:45:16What the hell?

00:45:17What was that?

00:45:18Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle on the ring bell.

00:45:19Kurt Angle just tossed Jidrak the ring bell.

00:45:21The referee didn't see it.

00:45:22Where did Angle come from?

00:45:23Eddie didn't see it either.

00:45:25Where the hell did Angle come from?

00:45:26Eddie on the top down.

00:45:27Flash to that ring bell.

00:45:29Right to the ribs.

00:45:31The referee didn't see any of this transpire.

00:45:34Out of nowhere.

00:45:37Wait a minute.

00:45:37Mark Jidrak into the cover.

00:45:40Mark Jidrak is gonna steal the damn match.

00:45:42Where did Angle come from?

00:45:43Damn that Kurt Angle.

00:45:45I'm ready to go.

00:45:49There he is.

00:45:52Wow.

00:45:53You gotta be kidding me.

00:45:55Here is your winner.

00:45:56Mark Jidrak.

00:45:58Highway robbery.

00:45:59Cole at his blatant fetch.

00:46:01That was something out of Eddie Guerrero's playbook.

00:46:04Check this out.

00:46:05Eddie Guerrero, first he had to run into the obstacle of Luther Reigns.

00:46:09He cleared that obstacle.

00:46:10Eddie Guerrero, as he was getting set for the Frost Blanch and Luther Reigns

00:46:14was being sent back to the locker room, Kurt Angle came from out of the crowd.

00:46:19Would hop the barricade, would grab the ring bell, and would do some cheating of his own to help Mark Jidrak pick

00:46:26up the victory.

00:46:27Watch Eddie land on the bell here.

00:46:32Kurt Angle tossed Eddie Guerrero this match.

00:46:35Tossed in the ring bell to Jidrak.

00:46:37The Frog Splash to the ring bell, and Eddie loses this one.

00:46:40I can't believe it.

00:46:42Yes, you've received your email, and I assure you that our attorney will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

00:46:47Hey, I've got to go now.

00:46:48Holler back.

00:46:50Mr. Heyman.

00:46:51Good to see you.

00:46:52See the straight jacket work for you, Blair?

00:46:54Yes, sir.

00:46:55That was actually a very good executive decision on your part, Mr. Long.

00:46:59Listen.

00:47:01This is against my better judgment.

00:47:04But my client, Heidenreich, wanted me to come in here and ask a favor of you.

00:47:11Just a minute.

00:47:13Let me make sure I'm feeling this.

00:47:14You mean your man, Heidenreich, wants a favor from me?

00:47:19Now, this has got to be good.

00:47:20Go ahead, player.

00:47:22My client, Heidenreich, would like to request that you sign a match for Survivor Series, one-on-one.

00:47:28Heidenreich versus The Undertaker.

00:47:39Done.

00:47:41Done?

00:47:41That easy?

00:47:42Done?

00:47:42That's it.

00:47:43You got it.

00:47:44I got it.

00:47:44That easy?

00:47:44Done?

00:47:45That's it.

00:47:45Thank you very much, Mr. Long.

00:47:46Thank you very much.

00:47:47Mr. Heyman.

00:47:49Have a seat.

00:47:50Here it comes.

00:47:52There's one other thing.

00:47:53I'm sure.

00:47:54Now, I need a signed contract.

00:47:56You think you can handle that, player?

00:47:59Of course I can.

00:47:59I mean, I have power of attorney for Heidenreich.

00:48:01I can sign anytime you want.

00:48:03You don't even have to negotiate with my lawyers.

00:48:04Listen to me.

00:48:05Listen to me.

00:48:05Let me finish.

00:48:06I can sign it right now if you like.

00:48:07Let me finish, Mr. Heyman.

00:48:09It's like I said.

00:48:10I need a signed contract.

00:48:13Now, you can sign it all you want.

00:48:14I don't give a damn.

00:48:16But the signature that I need on that contract is the signature of The Undertaker.

00:48:22And you know something?

00:48:25You are going to be the one that's going to have to go and get it.

00:48:29Me?

00:48:30Yes, you.

00:48:30I don't stutter.

00:48:32And you know something?

00:48:33I need it signed by next week or the match ain't happening.

00:48:37Now, you feeling me?

00:48:38How am I supposed to get The Undertaker's signature?

00:48:41I'm not The Undertaker's agent.

00:48:42I'm not The Undertaker's manager.

00:48:44Listen to me, player.

00:48:44You know what The Undertaker would take to me?

00:48:46Listen to me, player.

00:48:46Are you out of your mind?

00:48:47Listen to me.

00:48:47The Undertaker would take me by the throat?

00:48:49Hey, that's your problem.

00:48:51Now, if your man hiding rack wants to match that bad,

00:48:54then I need the signature of The Undertaker.

00:48:57And I need it by next week.

00:48:59By next week.

00:49:00And don't forget, you're the man that's going to have to go get it.

00:49:03Now, you holler back at your boy.

00:49:04I've seen Booker all day.

00:49:16I have it anyway.

00:49:17You can't worry about that.

00:49:18Yeah.

00:49:19Who knows if he's on our side?

00:49:20Me and you, we'll go out there and take care of him.

00:49:22All right.

00:49:23Hey, guys.

00:49:24There he is.

00:49:25What's up, Book?

00:49:25Yo, man.

00:49:27I just want to be straight over both of you guys, man.

00:49:29Yeah, you ready for this?

00:49:29You guys are a great tag team.

00:49:32You got a hell of a thing going for you, man.

00:49:34But me, I'm my own man.

00:49:36I do it all alone.

00:49:37I'm the biggest star on SmackDown.

00:49:41Look, man, the audience knows it.

00:49:44The both of you guys know it.

00:49:46Might not show it, but most importantly, I know it.

00:49:50See this match tonight, this champion showcase match.

00:49:53I didn't want no parts of this, man.

00:49:55Now, I can't get out of it.

00:49:57So, I'm going to tell you like this.

00:49:58The both of you, just stay out of my way, man.

00:50:01Let me do my thing.

00:50:03All right?

00:50:05All right.

00:50:08Dude.

00:50:09Dude, keep an eye on Booker T tonight, man.

00:50:11Watch out, man.

00:50:12No telling whose side he's on.

00:50:13I got your back.

00:50:14I'll take care of your back, though.

00:50:15You got your job.

00:50:16Let's take care of business.

00:50:17I agree with Rob Van Dam.

00:50:20You got to keep your eye on Booker.

00:50:21I don't know whose side he's on either.

00:50:22You got to watch him.

00:50:23Well, the champion showcase coming up in just a bit.

00:50:25But ladies and gentlemen, coming up next,

00:50:26it is the $1 million toughen up.

00:50:30This past weekend, Venice Beach, California.

00:50:32There were over 1,000 applicants.

00:50:34We brought 50 to Venice Beach.

00:50:36We narrowed it down to eight finalists.

00:50:38And what a weekend it was.

00:50:40Big time.

00:50:40I mean, you know what?

00:50:41I don't think it's about the million dollars.

00:50:43I mean, sure, it's great for one of these young athletes

00:50:45to win a million dollar contract.

00:50:46That's awesome.

00:50:47That's great.

00:50:47I think it's about the desire, the passion, the dedication

00:50:51that they show here and how tough it really is

00:50:54to try and become a WWE superstar.

00:50:57And the privileges that, you know,

00:50:58I've been fortunate enough to have to be in that ring.

00:51:01And unfortunately, SmackDown's not long enough

00:51:03to really tell all these stories of all these young people.

00:51:05But I'll tell you what, this toughen up,

00:51:08and I've been a part of all the other toughen ups,

00:51:10will be the toughest toughen up of all time.

00:51:20Welcome, everybody, to the million dollar toughen up.

00:51:24I came here for one thing only.

00:51:26You get that million dollars.

00:51:28Oh, this is magnificent.

00:51:29Move up.

00:51:31Let's do it.

00:51:32You're looking at the winner right here?

00:51:33I mean, obviously, I know I'm naked.

00:51:36I'm not being khaki, I'm just confident.

00:51:38You guys should be excited to be here

00:51:41because of thousands and thousands and thousands of entries.

00:51:46You 50 today have the opportunity of a lifetime.

00:51:53It's a chance to be a part of the most elite group

00:51:57of sports entertainment athletes in the world, the WWE.

00:52:01I mean, this is like a dream come true.

00:52:03It's a huge opportunity.

00:52:04I have hardness, it's no joke.

00:52:06Well, there ain't no losers here today.

00:52:08Nice guys, good looking kids, nice to meet them all.

00:52:13They're all here for the same purpose,

00:52:15but everybody else has different backgrounds.

00:52:17I've never pulled a truck, I've never ultimate fought.

00:52:21I'm not a power lifter, I'm a professional wrestler,

00:52:23I'm a sports entertainer.

00:52:24This is the only thing I was put on the earth to do,

00:52:26and this is the only thing that I'm gonna do.

00:52:28And here we are, beautiful Venice Beach, California.

00:52:31This is the ring I need to be in.

00:52:32Right down if it's Brooklyn, New York, number eight, baby.

00:52:35These are the turnbuckles that my head needs to be hidden into.

00:52:39Look at me, I got everything it takes to create my own legacy.

00:52:43Not to sound overconfident, not to sound cocky,

00:52:45but see, everybody else has dedicated their lives to everything else.

00:52:48I've dedicated everything I've had in my body and my heart and my mind to professional wrestling.

00:52:55Your day is gonna consist of first starting with an obstacle course.

00:52:59You're an Olympic athlete!

00:53:02You did 10 seconds faster than the fuck kid!

00:53:05Then we'll go to a bench press test of 225 pounds.

00:53:09That's a new record.

00:53:11That's what it's right here.

00:53:1136.

00:53:13Then to a 40-yard dash.

00:53:14Run, run, run!

00:53:17And then, most importantly, we'll have a charisma and personality test.

00:53:21You have the heart, but do you have any personality?

00:53:23Because right now, you've got the personality of a cadaver.

00:53:26Show us a million dollars worth of personality, because right now, I see 10 cents.

00:53:30Now, understand that throughout this day, that at any time, for any reason, you can be cut.

00:53:36Give it all...

00:53:37Give it all...

00:53:38Give it all you've got.

00:53:40Good luck.

00:53:41Go!

00:53:43Every square!

00:53:44What'd I just tell you?

00:53:45Get back!

00:53:46Put the hips down!

00:53:48Ah, it's not a number!

00:53:50Over, under, over, hurry up!

00:53:54Run!

00:53:55You're supposed to be an athlete!

00:53:59Are you okay?

00:54:02Yeah, five minutes.

00:54:04Wow, that was impressive.

00:54:07You're going to be out getting me, boys!

00:54:11You're walking!

00:54:13You're supposed to be the best we got!

00:54:17You better dig deep, boys.

00:54:18You better dig deep.

00:54:19It only gets harder.

00:54:21It only gets harder.

00:54:27And go!

00:54:29Time!

00:54:301.41.

00:54:32One minute, 36 seconds.

00:54:351.34.

00:54:37Good time!

00:54:38The bar has been set.

00:54:40I haven't earned a million dollars in 16 years!

00:54:42And you say you're going to step up in front of 40 other guys, but you got enough heart because,

00:54:46oh, you want to win the million dollars!

00:54:48Go buy a damn lottery ticket!

00:54:51You got one chance!

00:54:52I'm stepping up.

00:54:53Let's do it.

00:54:55Ready to get some?

00:54:56Yes, sir!

00:54:57Go!

00:54:59Let's see it!

00:55:00Go!

00:55:01Every square!

00:55:02Every square!

00:55:03Uh-oh!

00:55:04You're the Navy!

00:55:05My inner strength and my pride and my determination definitely comes from the men in my family.

00:55:09Very, very strong men in my family.

00:55:11Let's go, Navy Bull!

00:55:13Go, go, go, go, go, go!

00:55:15Go!

00:55:16Go!

00:55:16Knock him out!

00:55:16Go!

00:55:18Push him!

00:55:185!

00:55:196!

00:55:19Get him up!

00:55:20Come on!

00:55:208, 9, 10, 11, 12, 12, 132.

00:55:27I want to be a strong individual.

00:55:29You know what I mean?

00:55:30If strong comes across as being a tough guy,

00:55:33you know, it's not necessarily meant to be that way.

00:55:35I definitely give everyone the respect that you need to give.

00:55:39My name is Daniel Rodimer.

00:55:41You expect to win this?

00:55:43There's no doubt in my mind.

00:55:45You're a little cocky, aren't you, Dan?

00:55:47No, just confident.

00:55:49Well, I wouldn't consider myself cute.

00:55:51I would consider myself hot.

00:55:52Every superstar has to have his entourage on fire.

00:55:57Why don't you back off?

00:56:00So I was trying to steal my spotlight.

00:56:01I want you guys to make out a little bit.

00:56:05Go.

00:56:06Get over that wall. Grab that rope. Grab that rope.

00:56:09Growing up, I was always wild and crazy and all over the place.

00:56:13Every square.

00:56:15I always had to get put in my place very often.

00:56:18But most of the time, I talk my way out of the trouble that I got myself into.

00:56:23I got what it takes.

00:56:24How are you?

00:56:25It's easy to say it. Can you show it?

00:56:26We'll show it right now.

00:56:27If I had a million dollars, it would probably just increase all the fun I'm having now.

00:56:31John, your father was Big John's stud.

00:56:40Yes, sir.

00:56:41Did you make your father proud by being in WWE?

00:56:43You finished this thing. You're second generation.

00:56:45This step is really gonna make him proud.

00:56:47This isn't about the money for me at all.

00:56:49Come on, John. You know what it takes. You grew up with this.

00:56:53You better have the emotion for this.

00:56:55Too much upstairs to give up.

00:56:57A million dollars won't bring you home for your kid's birthday.

00:56:59A million dollars won't get you home for your wife's anniversary.

00:57:02This business consumes you. Push it! Push it!

00:57:07What makes the greats great is the passion they have for this business.

00:57:11I'm here to make my own path here.

00:57:15Smile.

00:57:16Got you on camera.

00:57:17Got you on camera too, champ.

00:57:19Marty Wright!

00:57:23You wanna be a wrestler?

00:57:24Yes, sir.

00:57:25With all my heart and soul.

00:57:27Maybe we should jump rope, Marty.

00:57:28I'm telling you, I got it! I got it!

00:57:31Yep.

00:57:32Yep.

00:57:33Yep.

00:57:34Today, I came to entertain.

00:57:40My haircut may be funny to you, but it's my style.

00:57:45It's not about the makeup.

00:57:46No, sir.

00:57:47It's not about the funny hair.

00:57:48Yes, sir.

00:57:49It's about here.

00:57:50Yeah!

00:57:5130 years old.

00:57:52Yes, sir.

00:57:53It's a little late to be starting in this game.

00:57:54No, it is what it is.

00:57:55Now it's time.

00:57:56I'm not looking back.

00:57:57I'm looking forward.

00:57:58I want that job, McMahon.

00:58:01Show us something, and show us something now,

00:58:06because you're not gonna get a second chance if you don't.

00:58:17You gonna let him manhandle you like that, John?

00:58:19.

00:58:20How bad you want it, John?

00:58:22You ran your mouth, John.

00:58:24Here's your chance.

00:58:25Show you a man.

00:58:26Let's have a little entertainment now.

00:58:27I got a mic in my hand.

00:58:28I got a ring on my feet.

00:58:29I need to get something in here.

00:58:30Just need a brain in your head.

00:58:31Ouch.

00:58:32Ouch.

00:58:33Ouch.

00:58:34Give me your best bruiser Brody.

00:58:35You see the guy in the white shirt there?

00:58:36Go pick him up.

00:58:37Hey, brother.

00:58:38How you doing, man?

00:58:39So, uh, good, man.

00:58:40Not really.

00:58:41I'll run out into the ocean butt naked if you wanted me to right now.

00:58:42Head first to the water, don't you just dip in there.

00:58:47Obviously, he's already learned the, uh, first wrestling move, a small package.

00:58:50You see the guy in the white shirt there? Go pick him up.

00:58:53Hey, brother. How you doing, man?

00:58:55So, uh, good, man.

00:58:57Not really.

00:58:58I'll run out into the ocean butt naked if you want me to right now.

00:59:01Head first in the water. Don't you just dip in there.

00:59:04Well, obviously, he's already learned the first wrestling move, a small package.

00:59:10Is my dog in the house? Is my dog in the house?

00:59:17That's right.

00:59:18You wanna impress us?

00:59:20Yeah.

00:59:24Four.

00:59:25Five.

00:59:26Six.

00:59:28Seven.

00:59:29Eight.

00:59:30Four.

00:59:31Keep going, baby.

00:59:32Keep going, baby.

00:59:33Keep going.

00:59:34Come on.

00:59:35Come on.

00:59:36Go!

00:59:37Ah!

00:59:38Ah!

00:59:39Push!

00:59:42Ah!

00:59:44Ah!

00:59:45Ah!

00:59:46Good morning, guys.

00:59:49Day two, my friends.

00:59:50Day two.

00:59:51In for another day of, um, health.

00:59:53Just to inform you, two guys have already dropped out.

00:59:56If you're not willing to give the commitment it's gonna take to do this, just walk on off,

01:00:00because I don't want to waste your time, and I sure as hell don't want you to waste ours.

01:00:03I'm personally the best 265-pound athlete there is in the world, and you know, if I could show that today, then that's great.

01:00:08Bill.

01:00:09Best 260-pound athlete.

01:00:11Best 260-pound athlete.

01:00:12Yes, sir.

01:00:13I went to the University of Georgia, and I've played NFL for the past three years.

01:00:21It's an obstacle course.

01:00:22I've done a lot of things in the NFL that are harder than a lot of these guys have ever even imagined.

01:00:26While you were laying there, trying to be resuscitated, brought back to life,

01:00:31you were telling me that you were in great shape and couldn't understand what was happening.

01:00:34I think you're the most delusional man I've ever met.

01:00:37You want to give up?

01:00:38You want to quit?

01:00:39Then knock him out.

01:00:40So I don't want to waste anybody else's time here.

01:00:43I appreciate everything you all have done for me.

01:00:46And big.

01:00:47I made my decision.

01:00:48I'm going to stick with football, man.

01:00:49And I'm sorry.

01:00:50But thanks again for everything.

01:00:51Nothing going to stop me.

01:01:04I won't lie.

01:01:05I'm in tremendous pain.

01:01:06Here comes the fun part.

01:01:08Fellas, it's a little longer than yesterday.

01:01:11And I lay awake all night saying, this was it.

01:01:17I won't get that chance to fulfill my dream because of this injury.

01:01:24Do it?

01:01:25Huh?

01:01:26Come on, buddy.

01:01:27Come on.

01:01:28And I came out here today and I said, no matter what, I am going to give it everything.

01:01:32Don't you dare quit.

01:01:34With one arm, pulling those two cans.

01:01:37Here's all rocks.

01:01:38Go on the wall, baby!

01:01:39Know what I want?

01:01:40Going over the walls.

01:01:42Crawling.

01:01:43Sand in your mouth.

01:01:44Lower.

01:01:4510!

01:01:46Go!

01:01:47That's tough.

01:01:48Yeah!

01:01:49Yeah!

01:01:50Yeah!

01:01:51Yeah!

01:01:52I went and I did it.

01:01:53Good job!

01:01:54Good job!

01:01:55Good job!

01:01:56Good job!

01:01:57Torn bicep.

01:01:58Torn pictorial.

01:01:59I didn't quit.

01:02:00How bad do you want this?

01:02:01More than anything in the world.

01:02:02I'm going to get the chance of a lifetime one day because I got what it takes.

01:02:06Injury or no injury, I'm coming to the big time.

01:02:09I showed them something today that you can't all of a sudden train to have.

01:02:14Today you showed a tremendous amount of heart.

01:02:17A tremendous amount of passion.

01:02:19You showed everybody out here just exactly what this business is about.

01:02:23Why we do this.

01:02:25Thank you for that.

01:02:26Thank you, sir.

01:02:28Brian, I'm sorry.

01:02:31You're injured.

01:02:32You're cut.

01:02:40Thank you very much for the opportunity.

01:02:43I really hope that I get the pleasure and privilege to one day be a part of this family.

01:02:54Hey, Brian.

01:02:55Brian.

01:02:56You didn't make it here because you're injured.

01:02:59What I'd like to do is I'd like to pay for your injury to get fixed and send you down to OVW and give you a developmental deal.

01:03:08Okay?

01:03:09Thank you so much.

01:03:11Just trying to stay up.

01:03:13At 24 years old, I just got accepted into the only family I've ever wanted to be in.

01:03:23And I'm going to do whatever I have to do and make them know that that was a great decision.

01:03:32This is the true story of when the Miz came to the Million Dollar Tough Enough Challenge.

01:03:39In seventh grade, it was a dream of mine to be on the real world, as stupid as it sounds, corny as it sounds, you know?

01:03:43And I feel almost like, you know, people sit there saying, oh, you have such an advantage.

01:03:46I feel like an underdog because I have more for them to pick on me about, you know?

01:03:50I was on a reality show.

01:03:52Whoop-dee-doo.

01:03:53You're going to prove that it's not just to be on TV?

01:03:55You're going to prove you really want to do this for the right reasons?

01:03:58Yes, sir.

01:03:59And we're going to see, aren't we?

01:04:00After the first real world that I was ever on, I looked myself in the mirror and I asked myself,

01:04:03what do you want to do with your life?

01:04:04And I said, I want to be a professional wrestler.

01:04:06When Bilk said, Mike, you're up, I was like, okay.

01:04:09You know, I have to prove him that I can do this.

01:04:11I'll be down.

01:04:12Two minutes.

01:04:13It's going to be four seconds.

01:04:16I made it.

01:04:19But the thing is, I mean, I have a feeling this is going to be very, very tough for us.

01:04:24Quick, say you quit.

01:04:25You're going to quit?

01:04:26Quick, say you quit.

01:04:27No.

01:04:28No way.

01:11:11thing that Michelangelo made so what you're going to buy where Rockford yeah oh they got trophies here right

01:11:43john great job great fans look at how phony JBL is he really thinking about

01:11:49shaking hands of these fans he's shaking these people with these fans of the Smackdown fans hands

01:11:54that's look at that he's he doesn't give a damn about these Smackdown fans and he's going to

01:11:59treat the Smackdown fans in Omaha the same exact way next week oh don't worry about the corn huskies

01:12:17and look at this what the Purell because uh well he just shook Tony Chimel's hand that's the reason

01:12:22that's a greasy shady man that Chimel you even think it's some Ajax on your hands after you shake

01:12:27that might not help I think JBL is actually getting rid of all the fans that he had to shake hands with

01:12:33you get it and his partners ring accompanied by Hiroko and Fifi and a combined weight of 510 pounds

01:12:43the WWE tag team champions Kenjo Suzuki and Renee Dupree the WWE champion and the tag team champion

01:12:52Fifi hits the name of this from general manager Theodore Long this matchup called the Champions Showcase

01:13:00well xbox presents WWE Survivor Series Survivor Series a whole production of both Smackdown and

01:13:05Raw comes to live Sunday November 14th from the Gund Arena in Cleveland Ohio exclusively on pay-per-view

01:13:12xbox it's good to play together and I think it's great that the French and the uh the Japanese

01:13:20play good together and then the Americans you know JBL's American the United Nations and the Greeks

01:13:26because as I pointed out I still think Fifi's a Greek the French queen the most feta cheese hole

01:13:32oh

01:13:34taking his way to the ring from Battle Creek Michigan

01:13:41lighting in at 230 pounds Rob Van Damme

01:13:48Mr. Thursday night lighting it up on Smackdown

01:13:54Rob Van Damme

01:13:56oh here goes my man

01:14:00San Diego California

01:14:06weighing in at 175 pounds

01:14:10Rey Mysterio

01:14:13Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Damme a hell of tag team remember the run they gave Rene Dupree and Kenzo Suzuki

01:14:19had no mercy before Kenzo cheated to hang on to the tag team title

01:14:23well get in a hell of a run but if you never go successful that's all right they are a hell

01:14:26delicious tag team no doubt no doubt

01:14:30but there's a third member of this tag team

01:14:32Can you dig it, sucker?

01:14:35And from Houston, Texas,

01:14:40we may have 256 pounds, Booker T.

01:14:45Can you dig it, sucker?

01:14:52We know Booker T is teaming with Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam tonight,

01:14:56because General Manager Deidre Long made that team.

01:14:58But it's Booker T's loyalty live with Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio.

01:15:02I don't think that Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio, in my opinion,

01:15:05I don't think they can trust Booker T, that's for sure.

01:15:08Do you trust Booker T?

01:15:10Especially the way he was acting with JBL before the first break?

01:15:13Well, then again, you know, Orlando,

01:15:15Orlando drove the Chief of Stafford's called Houseboy by Booker T.

01:15:18You know, so that's not, you know, you gotta figure Booker don't know.

01:15:22Didn't he kinda act like he was joking? I don't know.

01:15:24He did. Well, Booker did have a run-in with Kenzo and Rey in the past,

01:15:27so interesting dichotomy in this matchup.

01:15:30So basically Booker's had problems with everybody.

01:15:32Pretty much, because- What about the referee, Nick Paci?

01:15:34I'm not sure, but Booker T firmly believes he is the biggest star on SmackDown.

01:15:39Just ask him, he'll tell you.

01:15:40Well, he may be.

01:15:42I mean, then again, there's The Undertaker.

01:15:44There's also The Big Show.

01:15:46What about the WWE Champion, JBL?

01:15:48That's right, there is, that's right, JBL.

01:15:51Nonetheless, it's gonna be Rene Dupree.

01:15:52You know, other than that, though, Booker T definitely could be, you know,

01:15:56the greatest superstar here on SmackDown.

01:15:58So Rene Dupree starting things off against Rob Van Dam.

01:16:00Now, remember the matchup RBD and Dupree had last week?

01:16:04And remember, Rob Van Dam dumping Rene Dupree on the back of his neck.

01:16:08We think Dupree forgot about that.

01:16:09Well, he probably don't remember, because he was almost knocked out.

01:16:12And that was a hellacious German suplex would have released by Van Dam.

01:16:16And RBD gonna take no lip from the French Phenom, the 20-year-old.

01:16:21He didn't say nothing a moment ago.

01:16:23He said he's gonna take no lip.

01:16:24He's gonna push the guy.

01:16:25He's gonna take no lip.

01:16:27Because Rene Dupree, I don't think he had minds on a clean blitz,

01:16:30a clean break.

01:16:31He's an animal fuck.

01:16:32All right, side headlock, top wrist lock down by Rob Van Dam into a backbridge.

01:16:37Rob Van Dam, the unorthodox style, is Rene Dupree.

01:16:40Ducks under the ice counter, going behind.

01:16:41Whoa.

01:16:42Headlock right there, actually.

01:16:43Rob Van Dam dropped toehold, quickly flipped into that.

01:16:45Oh, went to the rear naked choke.

01:16:47Rene Dupree countered.

01:16:48Oh!

01:16:49Leg sweep by Van Dam.

01:16:50Cover kick out.

01:16:51And some furious action here in his champion showcase,

01:16:54set up by the general manager.

01:16:56Stand off right there by Van Dam and Dupree.

01:17:00And there's-

01:17:01Now, what's on his mind?

01:17:02What's on his mind?

01:17:03No idea.

01:17:04He's the wild card.

01:17:05Booker T telling Rob Van Dam, take it to him.

01:17:07Let's go.

01:17:08Remember, you said before, Booker T, Rob Van Dam,

01:17:10former world tag team champions on-

01:17:12Whoa!

01:17:13Before Booker T turned his back on Rob Van Dam,

01:17:15shortly after they came over to SmackDown.

01:17:16What's this?

01:17:17What's this?

01:17:18Oh!

01:17:19Back body dropped by Rob Van Dam,

01:17:20Rene Dupree.

01:17:21There's the tag made to Rey Mysterio.

01:17:23Watch this guy, heads up for Mysterio.

01:17:25What the-

01:17:26Oh!

01:17:27Double drop kick!

01:17:28Face back of the neck.

01:17:29Cover, there's a two count, and Dupree just kicked out.

01:17:33That is in stereo.

01:17:34I'll tell you, I love the way Mysterio and Van Dam work together.

01:17:37I do, too.

01:17:38I don't think Rene Dupree does.

01:17:40He was like an Oreo cookie with Mexican and Van Dam in it.

01:17:45Shut up.

01:17:46What the hell are you talking about?

01:17:47No, no.

01:17:48Here's the double team on the tag team champions, but Rey Mysterio-

01:17:51Shot.

01:17:52Look at Rey Mysterio go.

01:17:54Head scissors, Dupree through the second rope.

01:17:56And remember, the legal man in the ring is Kenzo Suzuki, and there's that chop to the throat.

01:18:01Again, that's why Dupree and Suzuki have a tag team champions, that teamwork.

01:18:06What about Kenzo Suzuki singing, you are so-

01:18:08Double!

01:18:09What an enziguri.

01:18:10Kenzo won't be doing much singing after that.

01:18:12He was trying to sing to Tori Wilson earlier on.

01:18:13He was singing the Ten Little Lags after that.

01:18:15There's another tag made to Rob Van Dam.

01:18:17Here comes Rey Mysterio.

01:18:18Oh!

01:18:19That was fucking Bronco action to Kenzo Suzuki.

01:18:22Kenzo's gotta be out on-

01:18:24What the-

01:18:25Rob Van Dam put the movesaw into the cover.

01:18:27He's got it.

01:18:28He's got it.

01:18:29There's two, and the WWE Champion breaking up the three count.

01:18:32Did you notice before though- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:18:33Whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:18:34Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:18:35Easy there.

01:18:36Don't hit no votes for the champ.

01:18:37You noticed before though when Mysterio made the tag to Rob Van Dam,

01:18:40that whoever team looked very disinterested in his teammates when they came over with the tag.

01:18:46Well, he said before he had no interest in being a tag team with Mysterio and

01:18:51Van Dam tonight.

01:18:52No disrespect, he said.

01:18:54Yeah!

01:18:55Here's Rob Van Dam into the corner.

01:18:56Nobody-

01:18:57And there's the spin kick from Rob Van Dam.

01:19:00Well, here we go.

01:19:01I don't wanna see Booker.

01:19:02It's not.

01:19:03There we go.

01:19:04There we go.

01:19:05It's that time off the springboard, top rope.

01:19:06There goes the champ.

01:19:07Knocked off the apron.

01:19:08Dukree knocked off the apron as well.

01:19:09Popped the champ.

01:19:10Dukree is rolling here.

01:19:11Watch out, watch out.

01:19:13Dukes underneath the attempted clothesline, springboard cross body.

01:19:17Here's the cover.

01:19:18Shoulders down.

01:19:19And they have a Dukree breaks up the three count, saving his tag team partner.

01:19:23I'll tell you, this Dukree and Suzuki, they are on top of each other's game.

01:19:27Ain't nobody tells them to do before they do it.

01:19:29Look at this, Rey Mysterio.

01:19:30Except for this part, maybe.

01:19:31I don't know.

01:19:32Oh, Van Dam.

01:19:33What's this?

01:19:34Wow.

01:19:35What a double team.

01:19:37And look at the champion JBL from behind.

01:19:39A clubbing blow to Rob Van Dam.

01:19:41Clear the field.

01:19:42Here comes the champ.

01:19:43Rey Mysterio.

01:19:44Uh-oh.

01:19:45Watch out.

01:19:46Van Dam cross body.

01:19:47Take it out, JBL.

01:19:49That's a WWE champion, showing no respect.

01:19:51This has turned into a three-on-two, but Van Dam and Mysterio are dominating.

01:19:56And Booker still stands on the apron, yet to get in the matchup.

01:19:59That's why I said it's a three-on-two.

01:20:01Okay, and I'm just bringing 40s on the apron, but...

01:20:04And look at this.

01:20:05And I'm at a double team.

01:20:06Double team.

01:20:07Wow.

01:20:08Van Dam and Mysterio double leg drop.

01:20:10That might have been four legs or three legs there.

01:20:13Heavy duty.

01:20:14Look at this.

01:20:15Where's Van Dam going?

01:20:16Take it out, Dupree.

01:20:17There is cottage everywhere.

01:20:19Mysterio.

01:20:21I'll tell you, Mysterio's been on a roll.

01:20:23Remember winning the Battle Royal last week and almost knocking off Carlito for the United States Championship.

01:20:29Well, Rey Mysterio's always on a roll, Cole.

01:20:31Look at that springboard.

01:20:32Kenzo Suzuki.

01:20:34He just pushed Rey Mysterio into Booker T.

01:20:38And look at the champion as Kenzo knocks Mysterio off the apron.

01:20:42After that miscalculation, I believe JBL feels his team is in complete control of this matchup.

01:20:49Is that the case?

01:20:50We'll find out when we come back.

01:20:53We are back on SmackDown.

01:20:54The WWE Champion with a tremendous suplex to Rey Mysterio in this champion showcase six-man tag team matchup.

01:21:01And the story, Taz, has been this.

01:21:03The inability of Booker T to get on the same page as his teammates, Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio.

01:21:09That has allowed JBL, René Ducree, and Kenzo Suzuki to take it from.

01:21:13It's not an inability.

01:21:14It's because Booker T doesn't want to.

01:21:15He's on his own.

01:21:16Well, that's what I mean.

01:21:17Inability, I guess, as JBL, the champion, continues to put the pressure on Rey Mysterio.

01:21:24There's no denying that JBL, Kenzo, and René have been on the same page here tonight.

01:21:29Well, no, I agree with that, that's for sure.

01:21:31But right now, Mysterio might need Booker T in there, I mean, because he's the freshest.

01:21:36Van Damme's been going at it back and forth.

01:21:37Look, look, Mysterio.

01:21:38Mysterio may want Booker T in there, but does Booker T want to be in there?

01:21:42I don't know.

01:21:43That remains to be seen.

01:21:44And here's Rey Mysterio there.

01:21:45Look at that.

01:21:46To the champion.

01:21:47The champion's reeling.

01:21:48Mysterio back to his feet, looking to make a tag.

01:21:51And from behind, and again, that indecision there, and whether or not Booker wanted to

01:21:56come into the matchup, cost Mysterio an opportunity to make a tag.

01:22:00Absolutely.

01:22:01And now, René Dupree and JBL, WWE Champion, stomping over there.

01:22:07I'm hoping to go, oh Rey Mysterio.

01:22:09I tell you, JBL has been through the wars in recent weeks, hasn't he?

01:22:12With The Undertaker, with Hardcore Holly.

01:22:14And I don't like the champion's actions, Tash, but I'll follow one thing.

01:22:18JBL has won some huge matchups in recent weeks.

01:22:21Here's the cover by Dupree.

01:22:23Mysterio is a way kicked out by Mysterio.

01:22:25JBL's the real deal right there.

01:22:27He's a gallant fighter.

01:22:29He's a gallant champion.

01:22:31And I'm proud to say I'm from New York, just like he's from Texas.

01:22:35Now Mysterio hangs on.

01:22:36Here comes Dupree, drop toe.

01:22:38Get out your telephones.

01:22:40Here we go.

01:22:41Mysterio has a knee to the back of Mysterio by the champion.

01:22:48Ever the thinking man's wrestling.

01:22:50Here's the cover by Dupree, gonna steal this.

01:22:51That's it, he got it.

01:22:52He got it.

01:22:53No, Mysterio just kicked out before a count of three.

01:22:57Well, we know that Rey Mysterio has heart and resiliency.

01:23:00I mean, that's well documented, Rey Mysterio's triple cuff.

01:23:03And Rey needs to get over to that corner there.

01:23:05And Dupree with a cheap shot, knocking Van Damme off the apron.

01:23:08Now notice Dupree didn't go to Booker T because he doesn't think he's a threat in the matchup.

01:23:12He hasn't been in the match.

01:23:13Here's Mysterio landing on his feet.

01:23:15Rob Van Damme with a double close line.

01:23:17Van Damme taking out the champion.

01:23:19Well, Van Damme shouldn't be in there.

01:23:21I don't believe he was tagged.

01:23:22I don't think so either.

01:23:23I think Van Damme is just trying to get Mysterio.

01:23:25What the heck?

01:23:26Van Damme crashes and burns on the announce table as Kenzo Suzuki rolled out of the way.

01:23:32Now the problem is this, Mysterio with Van Damme out is really left to himself.

01:23:37One on three because Booker T is yet the tag into the matchup.

01:23:41Van Damme landed super hot.

01:23:43My God.

01:23:44What a DDT, planting Dupree.

01:23:46But can Mysterio tag a rather disinterested Booker T here?

01:23:51Well, Rey Mysterio needs to try and get Book in if Book's gonna extend his hand.

01:23:56And ABL, ABL's about to get tagged, there he is.

01:23:59And here comes the champion, and Rey Mysterio is left to easy picking.

01:24:03Uh-oh, there it is.

01:24:04And now it tackles me.

01:24:05All right, look.

01:24:07Look at the look in the eyes of Booker T.

01:24:10What's the deal?

01:24:11The champion begging off.

01:24:15Book is smiling.

01:24:16So is James Sultz, the Book's smiling.

01:24:18The Book's smiling.

01:24:19The Book's smiling.

01:24:20Yes, sir.

01:24:23Well, I beat them.

01:24:26Booker's-

01:24:28You gotta give me a break.

01:24:31I wonder how much JBL paid Booker T.

01:24:33Oh, probably a lot.

01:24:34He's got a ton of coins, JBL.

01:24:36Look at this.

01:24:37Look at Booker being on the take.

01:24:39Here comes that clothesline from Hell, Cole.

01:24:41Here it comes, Danny.

01:24:42Oh, my God.

01:24:43Booker T, Booker T almost accommodated the champion.

01:24:47What the hell?

01:24:48Booker T, where did that come from?

01:24:50Knocking the champ down.

01:24:51Booker T is manning up.

01:24:54Oh, my God.

01:24:55Booker T is stepping up.

01:24:56Booker T is making an impact.

01:24:59Booker T the champion.

01:25:01Holy smokes.

01:25:03You pre-knocked over the top rope.

01:25:04Booker T is on a roll here.

01:25:07Who's hitting anything that moves?

01:25:10What a right hand.

01:25:11Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:25:12There goes Kenzo.

01:25:13And then there were two.

01:25:14Booker T and the champion.

01:25:16What the hell?

01:25:17Two more ones, man.

01:25:18Oh, heads up.

01:25:19Big fat body drop.

01:25:20There goes the two of the staff knocked off the apron.

01:25:23The key is like lightning.

01:25:25Scissors.

01:25:26No.

01:25:27Here's the cover.

01:25:28No way.

01:25:29No way.

01:25:30No way.

01:25:31Booker T has pinned the WWE champion.

01:25:35Booker T has pinned the champion.

01:25:37Rey Mysterio, Rob Van Damme, and Booker T.

01:25:43Uh-oh, uh-oh.

01:25:44Here comes a bookend.

01:25:45Bookend to Orlando Jordan.

01:25:47Booker T, look at the look in the eyes of the champion.

01:25:50Busting his nose open.

01:25:52Bradshaw doesn't know what hit him.

01:25:54He's shocked.

01:25:55I think we know where Booker T stands.

01:25:58More importantly, I think JBL knows where Booker T stands.
