00:00Ladies and gentlemen, we are just moments away from what could be the most memorable
00:04WWF title match in World Wrestling Federation history.
00:08A street fight hitting Cactus Jack against the champion, Triple H.
00:13And to say that this is going to be a war, and
00:15what has led us to this has been a war, would be an understatement.
00:19The title will be decided for Big Show, what a bend against Triple H.
00:26Big Show just caught Triple H, low blow, there's a low blow by Triple H.
00:31And now, the pedigree, the pedigree.
00:33He got it, he got it, Triple H has won the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
00:38The McMahon Helmsley era is running the show.
00:42I'm here tonight to tell you flat out that I think the McMahon Helmsley era
00:47kind of sucks.
00:50Look out, Triple H, DX, they're all over mankind.
00:54That's what he deserved, he brought it on himself.
00:56You're fired.
00:58He is fired, you're out of here, you're history.
01:02And thanks to the McMahon Helmsley era, mankind is fired.
01:05I just think that it's damn pretentious of Triple H and
01:10Stephanie to just finish a career.
01:14Because they personally get off on playing with people's lives,
01:18playing with their dreams and their emotions, and in this case, with their family.
01:21You're the most pathetic person I have ever met in my life.
01:25That's not Mick Foley.
01:27I've been pathetic for my whole life, especially over the last couple weeks.
01:32I can get hit in the head 37 times with a chair and not have any damage.
01:39You're stank, you're stank in the joint up.
01:41Triple H and Stephanie, if you do not meet our demands,
01:45we've got every single superstar ready to walk out on your candy asses.
01:49You will reinstate Mick Foley now.
01:53Mick Foley's back.
01:55You want me at the Garden, you want me at the Rumble?
01:58You're damn right I want your ass at the Rumble.
02:01You got it.
02:02Mankind and Triple H back in the ring.
02:04The two men that will meet for the richest prize in the game at the Royal Rumble.
02:08Triple H's got that bell, he's got the bell, he's got the bell, did you hear that?
02:12I'm right here, my God.
02:16Triple H has peddled Mick Foley right to our table, to the concrete.
02:20Unbelievable, Triple H is the game, he proved it tonight, he'll prove it at the Rumble.
02:24After the beating you gave me on Monday night, one thing mankind is not,
02:29is ready to face you in a street fight at the Royal Rumble in Madison Square Garden.
02:34But I think the WWF fans deserve a substitute in that match.
02:40I think you know the guy, his name is Cactus Jack.
02:45Cactus Jack is by a drastic kind, called for drastic measures.
02:50Triple H forced Mick Foley to metamorphosize into Cactus Jack.
02:55This guy's psychotic, he's homicidal.
02:57All I am is one bad son of a bitch.
03:00Cactus Jack is as hardcore as anybody could ever be.
03:04Mick Foley, your blood will stain New York City, I promise you that.
03:10So at the Royal Rumble, you're gonna make me bleed?
03:13It will not be the first time, and it sure as hell will not be the last.
03:19And for a man that has wrestled on nails in barbed wire, it's gonna be a day at
03:25Central Park.
03:26Do you think Triple H knows what the hell he's getting himself into for
03:29the Royal Rumble?
03:30You look into my eyes and realize I'm gonna tear you apart in New York City.
03:35The WWF title will be decided in a street fight.
03:39Bye-bye.
03:44The following contest is a street fight for
03:49the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
03:54Introducing first,
03:59the challenger,
04:04weighing 287 pounds,
04:11Cactus Jack.
04:16Cactus Jack is back in Madison Square Garden, and
04:21this ain't Mrs. Foley's baby boy.
04:25You're right, there they are.
04:27This is a sicko, this is a weirdo, this is a psycho.
04:33This persona of Mick Foley is the most evil, sadistic, psychotic competitor that I
04:40have ever personally witnessed in this business.
04:43He's dangerous, JR, he's very, very dangerous.
04:46And will do anything to become the World Wrestling Federation Champion right here
04:51tonight, live at the Royal Rumble in the Big Apple.
04:54One cell, is this on?
04:58No, Jimmy, can't be like that, Triple H.
05:02Triple H joined by his wife,
05:07Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley,
05:13to be accompanied by his wife,
05:18Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley,
05:24weighing 252 pounds,
05:28Triple H joined by his wife, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.
05:33And then I'll tell you what, I know that they're an acceptable couple, but
05:37I'm not so sure this is the greatest environment for a man to have his wife at.
05:41I gotta agree with you on that, JR,
05:44the McMahon-Helmsley era could be in jeopardy here tonight.
05:50This is not going to be a match for the weak at heart, a street fight.
05:53No holds barred.
05:54Wait a minute, it looks like Stephanie's going to the back.
06:01That's a wise decision.
06:03It certainly is.
06:04It is a street fight at Triple H.
06:10Triple H knows exactly the environment that he will
06:15attempt to retain his WWF title here tonight.
06:20Whether you like him or not, JR, you gotta admit, he is the game.
06:26Well, you're right about that, and I don't like him, but
06:29he is an amazing, amazing competitor.
06:32He is the World Wrestling Federation champion.
06:34Does your arm ever heal back exactly right?
06:36Thanks for asking.
06:38Senior referee Earl Hefner assigned this very important content.
06:43Well, there he is.
06:45He said he was gonna take it, but he didn't.
06:48Well, there he is.
06:49He said he was gonna take it up a notch, take it up a level.
06:52Here's the Royal Rumble, and I think he's gonna have to do that in order to handle
06:56that man.
06:57Well, there's no doubt that at the moment, that man is the best there is in the game.
07:01But that man will do anything he can to once again become the WWF champion.
07:06And can you just imagine, ladies and gentlemen, what it would mean for
07:09Mick Foley, who's from nearby Long Island,
07:12who 16 years ago hitchhiked to this very arena to see the WWF to win the title here
07:19tonight.
07:20Look at this.
07:21And the mind games have begun.
07:23Trying to psych out Triple H, trying to psych out the game.
07:27That don't happen, Cactus Jack.
07:30I don't think.
07:31I don't know if it is, is Triple H, is this having some sort of effect on him?
07:35Here we go.
07:36I don't know what Cactus Jack had to say to the champion, but
07:39the talking has stopped.
07:40The action has begun.
07:41And the street fight for the WWE title is underway.
07:47This one could end up being anywhere in this arena, no hos barred.
07:52Anything is legal.
07:53There must be a winner in this matchup.
07:57Triple H.
07:59They're trying to stand toe to toe, it looks like, in the early going here,
08:02with Mankind.
08:04Good strategy or not, we'll find out as this match progresses.
08:07And look at Mankind.
08:09Piston-like right hands, beating Hillsy down on the court.
08:12I'm gonna tell you something, JR, you just gotta keep this in mind,
08:14this is not really fair.
08:15I mean, the game didn't really want this match, he was forced into it.
08:20I mean- What do you mean by that?
08:20Well, the whole WWE was held hostage.
08:23I mean, first of all, he had to reinstate Mick Foley.
08:26Well, you're right about that.
08:27And then he was forced to accept this match, which, well,
08:30he thought it was Mankind, it turned out to be this idiot.
08:32It was about time he was forced to accept the challenge of someone that earned it,
08:37that deserves the opportunity of this magnitude.
08:40You're just a Foley fan.
08:42Well, you're right about that.
08:43Yeah.
08:45Oh, and a leg drop right across the back of Triple H's head.
08:52Cactus Jack is one of the most unusual, unorthodox,
08:56unpredictable competitors that you will ever see.
09:00Well, you know what, JR?
09:01Well, why don't you just say what he really is?
09:03You mean sadistic, so why don't you just say it?
09:05Oh, look out, look out, he is sadistic.
09:06Look out here.
09:07Thank goodness.
09:09Excuse me, Cactus Jack, just bouncing the champion's head off the steel steps.
09:15He's ready to go at a moment's notice.
09:17He's ready to bail out of here, I can guarantee you that.
09:19We ain't got much room here.
09:21Triple H has grabbed the bell.
09:23He's got the ring bell, and just nailed Mick,
09:26Nick Cactus Jack with a ring bell right between the eyes.
09:29Ding dong.
09:30Ding dong, the champ challenger may be dead.
09:35And Triple H tossing a steel chair in the ring.
09:37Unfortunately, it's going to take a lot more than that
09:40to accomplish the demise of Cactus Jack.
09:43Oh, look at this.
09:45Triple H challenging or inviting Cactus to get in the ring with that steel chair.
09:50Who will ever forget last year at the Royal Rumble.
09:54It's like waving a red flag in front of a bull.
09:56You know he's going to come, Triple H.
09:57About a dozen chair shots mankind endured last year in this very event.
10:05Ding dong.
10:06And a shot right to the skull.
10:08A shot right to the skull by The Game.
10:11And just leveled the challenger.
10:13Cactus Jack is down from a vile chair shot right between his eyes.
10:19Serves him right, JR.
10:21Look at him.
10:24Game, look at this.
10:25Cactus has given up.
10:26He's out.
10:27And came back with a clothesline.
10:29Hilty must be wondering, what am I going to have to do here tonight
10:33to keep the challenger down?
10:35Down long enough for a three count.
10:37And now Cactus Jack has got a steel chair.
10:40Uh-oh.
10:41Uh-oh.
10:42Uh-oh is right.
10:43A prone Triple H on the canvas.
10:45And a leg drop.
10:46Driving right through the steel chair.
10:48Driving it right into the face of the champion.
10:51The challenger's got the cover.
10:53And a beer fall.
10:57Watch this, JR.
11:00I knew it was going to be nasty, but.
11:02We ain't seen the last of that, I'm afraid.
11:04As a sickening thud into another human being's skull with a steel chair.
11:08And now look again, that same human being.
11:11They just got dinged there.
11:12They just got knocked down.
11:13Has got the champion in trouble.
11:17Big trouble.
11:20This is just not right for a champion the magnitude of The Game
11:24to compete in a match like this.
11:27Street fight.
11:28He's not from the streets.
11:29I know he's from Greenwich.
11:30It's Triple H.
11:31He's known as a great tentacle.
11:33Maybe the greatest tentacle champion that we've ever had.
11:36Well, there are some mean streets in Greenwich.
11:38And he probably lived on the meanest one.
11:39But still.
11:40And Triple H laying in wait there with Cactus Jack.
11:46This is Cactus Jack's environment.
11:48These are Cactus Jack's rules.
11:50Cactus Jack's arena.
11:52That's why it's so unfair.
11:54These are Cactus Jack's fans.
11:55Triple H.
11:56Right into the concrete floor.
12:00Imagine Triple H being out in amongst the mass unwashed.
12:05Cactus Jack and Triple H in a sea of humanity here.
12:10A sea of humanity.
12:11This is New York City, JR.
12:14What's the point?
12:16Humanity?
12:20They're going right up to the stands now.
12:22Our Cactus Jack and Triple H.
12:25They're fighting right through the fans here.
12:27Right through the people.
12:29It's a street fight.
12:30They can go anywhere.
12:31Look at this.
12:32They're back up against those brick walls.
12:34Covered with graffiti.
12:35They're in an alley.
12:36This is all legal.
12:37Right in those stack of bricks there.
12:40Uh-oh.
12:41Mankind.
12:43What are those called?
12:46Pallets.
12:47Wooden pallets.
12:48Pallets?
12:49I guarantee you, Triple H has never seen anything like that in his life.
12:52We're not talking cliff pallets here.
12:54We're talking wooden pallets on a concrete floor.
12:59Triple H is fine.
13:00Just bounced off those wooden pallets.
13:02They were placed on a concrete floor.
13:04Triple H is fine.
13:05Triple H is fine.
13:06Triple H is fine.
13:07They were placed on a concrete floor.
13:09There could be a pin right there, and it would be legal in this street fight.
13:14Oh, my God.
13:15There's a manhole cover, JR.
13:16This is getting real ugly.
13:17Mankind may drive that taxi right on Triple H.
13:20Who knows?
13:21Watch it.
13:24Crash cam right to the skull.
13:27Now, when he's in trouble, when a true athlete's in trouble,
13:30all of a sudden, he's my champion.
13:32Well, you've endorsed him more than anybody else.
13:34I agree he's a great champion, but this just may not be his night.
13:38Speaking of Triple H.
13:39It may not be his night.
13:40It's certainly not his match.
13:42This is not the kind of match that he should be forced to be in.
13:46I don't know.
13:47Maybe more away.
13:48Maybe more away.
13:49Maybe more away.
13:50Maybe more away.
13:51Maybe more away.
13:52Maybe more away.
13:53Maybe more away.
13:54Maybe more away.
13:55Maybe more away.
13:56Goes Triple H.
13:57And look at Mankind bouncing Triple H's head right off the steel.
14:01It's Cactus Jack.
14:02Cactus Jack.
14:03I'm sorry.
14:04Was that any of Mankind?
14:05Triple H had already beaten him long ago.
14:07Man, they're taking this thing, I mean, really, really sadistically too far.
14:17These fans here chanting Foley.
14:19They don't even know.
14:20It's Cactus Jack against Foley.
14:26Oh, wait a minute.
14:27Oh, suplex.
14:28Triple H has suplexed Cactus Jack right through that trash can.
14:32He crushed the can and hopefully some ribs.
14:35Lacerating his liver and any other internal organ you can think of in that steel.
14:42Lying on the concrete floor, there's no grip whatsoever.
14:45I thought Triple H was going to go for a cover there.
14:48Neither man has a cover.
14:51Hard right hand shot by Triple H.
14:53But look at Cactus Jack.
14:55Every time Triple H tries to score with the offense, Cactus Jack comes right back.
15:00Hard to hurt him.
15:05A little hard with the right.
15:07It's almost like he's going to go for a cover.
15:10Triple H is going to go for a cover.
15:12Triple H is going to go for a cover.
15:14Triple H is going to go for a cover.
15:16A little hard with the right.
15:20Cactus Jack enjoys this punishment and dishing out this pain.
15:24He loves to dish it out and he loves to take it too.
15:33Triple H tried to avoid the contract, but he did not.
15:39I've got to believe we are just moments away from an end.
15:44Champion.
15:46Look at this knee.
15:47I knew it was going to be brutal.
15:53We're going to see a new champion here tonight.
15:55Triple H is out of his element.
15:58Cactus Jack, the king of hard core.
16:03It's terrible to refer to him as the king of anything.
16:05But if it would be anything that he's the king of, it would be hard core.
16:08Look at that.
16:10Is that?
16:11That looks like barbed wire.
16:12It's a two by four with barbed wire.
16:18I know it's a street fight.
16:19And I love Cactus Jack, but this is going a little bit too far.
16:23You're not lying.
16:24Get out of there, Hunter.
16:26Hunter the madman.
16:27He's insane.
16:28Come on, Cactus.
16:30This is not the way to win the title, Cactus.
16:32Can you imagine what Stephanie is thinking right now?
16:34Seeing her husband down with a two by four covered in barbed wire?
16:39A referee trying to stop Cactus from using that barbed wire.
16:43Triple H has got it.
16:44Use it.
16:45Use it.
16:46It's legal.
16:47It's perfectly fine.
16:48No, it's not fine.
16:49It's not fine for either one of them.
16:53Barbed wire to the abdomen.
16:55A barbed wire to the back, to the spine of Cactus Jack.
17:00Cactus Jack introduced him to the maximum.
17:02Can you imagine what that feels like?
17:04The king's introducing him to Cactus Jack.
17:06A two by four wrapped up in barbed wire.
17:10I think he was pulling a piece of the shirt and skin and everything off of Jack.
17:15There's got to be large parts of Cactus Jack's epidermis on that barbed wire.
17:20Epidermis?
17:24Get him up.
17:25Look at Triple H now.
17:26Challenging Cactus to get up.
17:28Get him in the face.
17:29No.
17:30Don't do it.
17:31Cactus Jack with a right hand.
17:33Uh-oh.
17:35Hey.
17:37Two by four.
17:38Get him back out of the ring.
17:39Illegal weapon.
17:41Referee's taking that barbed wire out of here.
17:43No.
17:45Referee just telling one of our Spanish announcers,
17:50put that barbed wire under their table.
17:54Put it down.
17:55Don't get it over here.
17:56Get rid of it.
17:57Wait a minute.
17:58There's a cover in the ring.
17:59There's a cover.
18:00We've got a new champion.
18:01How close was that?
18:03I don't know, but Triple H has been covered for about 15 seconds.
18:08Thank God that two by four wrapped in barbed wire has been addressed
18:14and been taken away from here.
18:18Cactus Jack is confronting the referee.
18:21He wants to know where that two by four and where that barbed wire is.
18:25Wait a minute.
18:26The referee stooged it off.
18:27He told him where it is.
18:30Cactus, don't do that.
18:32Don't do that.
18:37Cactus just.
18:41They're giving Cactus up.
18:42They're giving Triple H up.
18:44Cactus has got the barbed wire back.
18:48Come on, Cactus.
18:49Don't hit the referee.
18:52And Triple H just took out the referee.
18:56He hit him in the face.
18:57My God.
18:58My God.
18:59Cactus just hit Triple H right in the face with barbed wire.
19:03To another human being's face.
19:05Stephanie, did you see that?
19:07Cover your eyes.
19:08Cactus, that title is not worth this.
19:12Look out.
19:13Cactus just dropped the barbed wire.
19:15And the champion is busted open.
19:17Busted open.
19:18He put his eyes out.
19:19Triple H.
19:20He ripped his nose off.
19:21We've got a new champion.
19:26My God, Triple H was able to get himself out.
19:29Look at that.
19:30He's ripped to shreds.
19:32How did he kick out of that?
19:33He's truly the guy.
19:34Oh, my gosh.
19:35Triple H has been busted open from ear to ear.
19:38Busted open.
19:39He's punctured.
19:40He's ripped from that barbed wire.
19:41And Cactus has got the barbed wire on the back.
19:44On that two-by-four.
19:45Another slap to the face.
19:48Referee, this is...
19:53Look at this, JR.
19:54Cactus Jack is enjoying this.
19:55Oh, my God.
19:56I think you're right.
19:57I'm sorry to say, but I think you're right.
20:00Get out of there.
20:01Go to the hospital.
20:02Oh, look at that.
20:03Oh, my God.
20:04That barbed wire is hitting on the face of Helmsley.
20:07Ripping at his skin.
20:09Ripping at his face.
20:12This has got to be stopped or something.
20:14Something's got to be done to Cactus Jack.
20:16It's a street fight, King.
20:17You know it can't be stopped.
20:20Look at that sadistic sick...
20:21Street fight rules mean these two men have a license to maim.
20:25And that's exactly what we're seeing here.
20:27This is carnage.
20:28Triple H has already maimed.
20:36The title is in jeopardy here.
20:39Well, that's what that idiot Cactus Jack said he was going to do.
20:42He said he was going to rip Triple H from limb to limb.
20:45He said he was going to spill his blood.
20:49And some would say it couldn't happen to a nicer champion.
20:52Oh, yeah, you would say that, wouldn't you?
20:54Oh, please.
20:55Watch yourself.
20:57Triple H a bloody mess on our table here.
21:02This street fight can end any way, anywhere.
21:06This is real bad, JR.
21:09Don't, Mick.
21:10This is not the way, Mick.
21:12Come on, Cactus.
21:13Triple H is bleeding on a horse.
21:15Don't do it.
21:16Don't do it.
21:19Don't do it, Jack.
21:20He's going to prowl drive him.
21:21Cactus is going to prowl drive Triple H.
21:23No, he's not going to do it.
21:24For the love of God.
21:25Are we on?
21:30Oh, God.
21:31Cactus has been backdropped on the concrete.
21:33He's done for.
21:34The champion has been folded up like an accordion.
21:40I never thought it would be anything like this.
21:42If we said it was going to be a night that we'd never forget.
21:44He's got our bloody mess.
21:46Triple H is bleeding from his legs.
21:48He's bleeding from his feet.
21:49He's bleeding from his legs.
21:50He's bleeding from his feet.
21:51He's bleeding from his feet.
21:52He's bleeding from his legs.
21:53He's bleeding from his face.
21:56Triple H has got a huge puncture wound in his calf.
22:01And look at this backdrop.
22:06JR, did you see the rip in Triple H's leg?
22:09It's horrible.
22:11He's got a huge gash in his calf.
22:14Look at the rip in his hand.
22:16My God, this is a war.
22:17Our table's been destroyed here.
22:20You've got to give credit to Triple H.
22:22How is he still standing?
22:23I sure as hell do.
22:24Much less still fighting this battle.
22:26I'm giving credit for both these guys.
22:29For them to put their bodies through this,
22:31it's nothing short of extraordinary.
22:33For the richest prize in this game.
22:44He said he was going to turn it up a notch.
22:46Well, he's turned it up ten notches.
22:47He certainly has.
22:48And Triple H's got a birth pedigree.
22:51A cactus jab.
22:52Able to counter.
22:53And counter on Helmsley.
22:55Face first into the top turnbuckle.
22:59Oh no!
23:00Triple H's face just got mashed into that barbed wire.
23:03One more time.
23:04There's a cover.
23:05It's got to be over.
23:06It's got to be.
23:08My God, I can't believe it.
23:09Triple H's got a shoulder up.
23:11You've got to hand it to the son of a gun.
23:14You can barely see.
23:15JR, the screens to our monitors are covered in blood.
23:18It's just dripping down.
23:20The monitors, our table, everything covered.
23:25And that barbed wire is still in the ring.
23:32I don't think I've ever seen any title match anywhere quite like this.
23:37A cactus jab with that running clothesline.
23:39Taking Triple H over the top to the floor.
23:42I agree with you.
23:43I've never seen anything like this.
23:44I don't think these people that are crammed into Madison Square Garden
23:47ever dreamed they'd see something like this.
23:54Oh my God!
23:56Triple H used Cactus' own momentum to hip lock Cactus
23:59right into those steel steps.
24:00And Cactus' knee, you saw that.
24:02His knee just wrapped around the steel steps.
24:05Yeah, but has Triple H lost so much blood that he won't be able to capitalize on it?
24:10Oh my!
24:11For the love of God!
24:15Cactus with his lower extremities right through those steel steps again.
24:20Jack said his children wouldn't be allowed to watch this.
24:23I think they'd be.
24:25His knee right here.
24:27His left knee there.
24:28And Cactus grabbing his left knee.
24:31And one more time.
24:32And now Triple H back to live action.
24:34Just top block Cactus' left knee.
24:39And I don't care how tough you are.
24:41If you can't stand,
24:42you're going to have a hell of a time winning a fight.
24:44Even for Cactus Jack.
24:46And that's what Triple H is doing now.
24:48Yeah, but how is Triple H able to stand?
24:50He's lost so much blood.
24:52Where's he getting the strength?
24:54Well, he's a stud.
24:55There's no doubt about it.
24:57Like him or not,
24:58Triple H has taken his game to another level here tonight.
25:02Or maybe a new low.
25:04Depending on your perspective.
25:06He said he would do it and he's doing it.
25:08But so far it's still not been enough to put Cactus Jack away.
25:12Cactus Jack having a hard time standing.
25:15But he's crawling back in the ring.
25:16Triple H pulling himself up.
25:18And takes Cactus right back down with another top block.
25:22Cactus' leg is in bad shape.
25:24King, like you said,
25:25Triple H has lost a great deal of blood here.
25:27The claret has flowed at the Royal Rumble.
25:30Oh, look. Look at this.
25:31Oh, no.
25:33Triple H has got the barbed wire.
25:34The two by four rectum barb.
25:37And right across the leg of Cactus Jack.
25:40Oh.
25:41Two by four is bad enough.
25:42But rectum barbed wire is heinous.
25:45Again.
25:48He's got to be ripping his leg to pieces.
25:50But you should see Triple H's leg.
25:51I mean, he's got a gash in his.
25:52It's got to be three inches long and two inches deep.
25:54It's horrifying.
25:56Triple H is going to need a lot of stitches
25:57when this one's all said and done.
25:58I can guarantee you that.
26:01I don't think either one of these guys
26:02is going to be able to walk out of here,
26:04win, lose, or draw.
26:06Where are you going now?
26:07Triple H is
26:08staggering out here.
26:09Game.
26:11What's this?
26:13He grabbed something from Finkel.
26:15He had given something to.
26:16I don't know what that is.
26:19By God, it's handcuffs.
26:20Handcuffs?
26:21It's handcuffs, King.
26:23What do you do with handcuffs?
26:25I shut her to think.
26:27Oh.
26:28King, remember last year at the Royal Rumble?
26:30Oh, yes.
26:31Yes, I do.
26:32I remember that.
26:34Are we going to see that again?
26:35Then it was Mankind getting handcuffed.
26:38He's trying to block it.
26:41And Cactus Jack fighting back.
26:43And now Cactus using that,
26:45those handcuffs as a weapon,
26:47wrapping the chain around his fist.
26:49Further busted Triple H wide open.
26:51And Triple H went right back down to the knees,
26:53taking Cactus Jack down.
26:55And now Triple H.
26:56Here we go, got him.
26:58Cactus Jack has been handcuffed
27:00with his hands behind him.
27:02My God, this is horrible.
27:04Cactus won't be able to defend himself.
27:06Yeah, and you know what that means,
27:07don't you, JR?
27:09It means as bad as this has been for now,
27:11it's fixing to get worse.
27:13It's fixing to get a lot worse.
27:15We are going to another level
27:17with Cactus Jack handcuffed.
27:19He's helpless.
27:20He can do anything.
27:22A human punching bag.
27:24Triple H has lost so much blood.
27:27And now he has Cactus Jack,
27:29perhaps, where the champion
27:31wanted the challenger all along.
27:34Remember the street fight.
27:35Everything you have seen
27:37is legal in this environment.
27:40And Cactus is trying
27:42to pull himself back up.
27:44But Triple H,
27:46now bringing the steel steps
27:48into the ring.
27:50What's he going to do with those?
27:52Oh, no.
27:54Cactus Jack is helpless,
27:56no matter what Triple H is going
27:58to do with those steel steps.
28:00Cactus Jack, the challenger,
28:02is helpless with his hands
28:03handcuffed behind him.
28:05This is legal, but I can't believe it.
28:07No, no.
28:09Cactus Jack with a drop toehold.
28:11And Triple H's face
28:13burst right off the steps.
28:15How did Jack do that?
28:17Out of desperation,
28:19it was a drop toehold.
28:21Cactus Jack has no use of his hands.
28:23They're handcuffed behind him.
28:25He just threw his entire body weight
28:28into the testicles of The Game.
28:31Look at The Game's face.
28:34You're biting me!
28:36You're biting me!
28:38Get him off of there!
28:40I told you he's a madman.
28:42I told you he's an idiot.
28:44Cactus Jack is biting Triple H.
28:46He's trying to bite his ear off.
28:48I think you're right.
28:50I think Cactus is going for Triple H's ear.
28:52And Triple H's right back up
28:54and knocks Cactus down to the clothesline.
28:56Keep him down, Game.
28:58Keep him on the ground.
29:00Cactus lost half his ear
29:02Oh, there it is.
29:04Look at that deformed, mutilated ear.
29:06Half of it gone.
29:08He was trying to do the same thing
29:10to The Game.
29:12Pounding like a railroad spike.
29:14Don't do it.
29:16Hammering.
29:18This is what happened last year
29:20in the Royal Rumble.
29:22And Cactus Jack just broke a steel chair
29:24over the spine of a challenger.
29:26And a piece of that steel
29:28just went flying.
29:29There's a souvenir.
29:31Oh, God.
29:33Triple H has just destroyed
29:35a steel chair on the spine
29:37of Cactus Jack.
29:41For the love of God,
29:43someone get those handcuffs off of him.
29:45Don't let him rest, Triple H.
29:47You gotta stay on him.
29:49You gotta finish him somehow.
29:51You gotta put him away.
29:53Look, Cactus Jack is running.
29:55He's trying to run down that alleyway.
29:57He's trying to leave.
30:00Oh, man.
30:02Cactus with another shot.
30:04I think maybe he's lured him in.
30:06J.R., is that what you think?
30:08I think down that,
30:10almost an alleyway there.
30:12In this street fight environment,
30:14Cactus Jack with another chair shot.
30:16Those brain cells have scrambled again.
30:19Are there any left that are scrambling?
30:22And look at Cactus.
30:24Look at Cactus.
30:26He said, you got any more?
30:27Hit me.
30:29Cactus just said,
30:31have you got any more?
30:33Is that all you got?
30:35Hit me again.
30:37And there's a rock.
30:39It's a rock.
30:41What is that all about?
30:43Dale Hensley with a steel chair
30:45in this street fight.
30:47There's nothing the referee can do about it.
30:49I can't believe this.
30:51Wait a minute.
30:53Well, there's a cop there.
30:55There's a police officer there.
30:57He blocked mankind from those handcuffs.
30:59That is not fair either.
31:01Triple H has been ambushed.
31:03A rock came out of nowhere
31:05to level Triple H with a steel chair.
31:08I think Cactus Jack did lure
31:10Triple H down that alley.
31:12I think you're exactly right.
31:14And now Triple H is being hammered
31:16with hot hands by Cactus Jack.
31:18Oh, no.
31:20Watch yourself, J.R.
31:22They're coming this way again.
31:24Oh, please.
31:25This is a war zone out here.
31:27Again, Triple H throwing on another
31:29on our Spanish announced table.
31:31Oh, no.
31:33Oh, God.
31:35This could be career ending right here
31:38for one of these two men.
31:40Referee, don't let him go.
31:42Oh, God.
31:44A power driver.
31:46But the table didn't give.
31:48And Hensley's head bounced right off the wood.
31:50I can't believe it.
31:53Good God.
31:55You're talking about compressing
31:57your neck there.
31:59The table did not give away.
32:01And that's when it hurts the most, J.R.
32:04Triple H barely able to stand.
32:07Cactus Jack trying to help the champion up.
32:14He's down.
32:16He's nearly out.
32:18He's been ravaged.
32:20My God, Cactus.
32:22Take a look at this.
32:23The replay.
32:25Is that all you've got?
32:27And then here came The Rock.
32:29It was a setup.
32:31Plain and simple.
32:33Then you got a cop waiting out there.
32:35What is that?
32:37What the hell is that?
32:39Sandbag.
32:41Hit him over the head with a sandbag.
32:43They've got to wait.
32:45This is going to be bad.
32:47I don't know, King.
32:49What?
32:51I don't know.
32:53It's hundreds.
32:55It's thousands of thumbtacks.
32:57Oh, no.
32:59Cactus Jack has just put up a huge stack of thumbtacks.
33:01Hunter, get out of there.
33:03Oh, look at this.
33:05Look who's here.
33:07Stephanie McMahon is here.
33:09Triple H's wife trying to stop this thing.
33:11Stephanie, don't come out here.
33:13This guy's sadistic.
33:15He won't stop for anything.
33:17Right hands by Cactus Jack.
33:19The Game dangerously close to those thousands of thumbtacks on the canvas.
33:21JR, if he falls into those tacks.
33:23Look at this.
33:25Oh, my God.
33:27Oh, my God.
33:29Cactus Jack is a human pig pushing.
33:31Look at the tacks.
33:33All over his anatomy.
33:35All over his body.
33:37Oh, my God.
33:39He's sick, JR.
33:41He may enjoy it.
33:43I don't know.
33:45The love of God.
33:47Triple H trying to.
33:49Pedigree.
33:51Oh, Cactus tipped out.
33:53Cactus tipped out.
33:55My God, I don't believe it.
33:57Cactus tipped out.
33:59Stephanie can't believe it.
34:01Triple H sure can't believe it.
34:03Triple H says, it's incredulous.
34:05He can't believe Cactus tipped out of the pedigree.
34:07Who can?
34:09Look at this.
34:11And the foley tip goes up.
34:13It matters to Spare Garden.
34:15Oh, no.
34:17No, not the tacks.
34:19A second pedigree on the thumbtacks.
34:21The second pedigree.
34:23That's it.
34:25Got him.
34:27My God, my God, it's over.
34:29My God, it's over.
34:31Tacks are sticking in the face.
34:33Look at this.
34:35And still World Wrestling Federation champion, Triple H.
34:39Have you ever in your life seen anything like that, JR?
34:44I have never witnessed a championship match anywhere at any time in 25 years.
34:50Like we have just witnessed here tonight.
34:53How much more could either of these two competitors have given us tonight?
34:58Triple H has lost so much blood, King.
35:01He's barely able to stand.
35:03Look at this.
35:05The thumbtacks have been driven right into the skull of Cactus Jack.
35:08Sticking out of his eyes, his arms, his entire body.
35:13Oh, God.
35:15Oh, this is bad.
35:17Get medical help right.
35:19I fear for both these men.
35:21No, the game comes first.
35:23He's the champion.
35:25Well, I could not believe just moments ago.
35:28Take him to the best hospital in New York.
35:30What a pedigree by Triple H.
35:32Perfectly done.
35:34But my God, I couldn't believe Cactus Jack kicked out of the pedigree.
35:38At Triple H, no one could believe it.
35:41And then the second pedigree, King, on the thumbtacks.
35:44Cactus Jack driven face first into hundreds of thumbtacks.
35:47Oh, look.
35:49Look at this.
35:51Triple H has been carried out of the Madison Square Garden.
35:55But he's still the World Wrestling Federation champion.
35:57Look at all the tacks in his knee pads.
35:59He's lost so much blood.
36:01This is very bad.
36:03Triple H is going to need a blood transfusion, no doubt about that.
36:05Cactus Jack is up.
36:07And Cactus Jack.
36:09Wait a minute.
36:11He's going to the hospital.
36:13What are you doing, you idiot?
36:15Cactus Jack.
36:18Wait.
36:20He's pushing the gate.
36:22Oh, my God.
36:24Cactus Jack is not through with Triple H.
36:26He's bringing him back out here.
36:31Get those handcuffs back out.
36:33Cuff him.
36:35Lock him up.
36:37Where's that policeman when you need him?
36:39My God, their bodies have been ravaged.
36:41But they continue to fight here.
36:43Triple H, you've got to get out of there.
36:45Oh, he's got the barbed wire again.
36:47And right in Helsey's face.
36:49Cactus Jack with a barbed wire.
36:52Stephanie, save yourself.
36:57Her husband has been ravaged.
37:00Cactus Jack has left the WWF champion a bloody, quivering mess.
37:08In what has to be the damnedest WWF title match that any of us have ever witnessed.
37:15Oh.
37:22How Cactus Jack is standing, I'll never know.
37:25With thumbtacks all over his body.
37:27Some still sticking there.
37:29Even in his head.
37:31He may be held together by those tacks.
37:33These piecemeal, these tacks together.
37:36They're all over him.
37:38You've got to give these two men supreme credit for what they have put through.
37:44I have never seen anything like this.
