00:00Oh, boy, I'm holding my breath.
00:02But ladies and gentlemen, it is going to be at first.
00:05It is so unpredictable.
00:07How do you predict what's going to happen
00:09inside the Elimination Chamber?
00:11And remember, this evil structure
00:13was created by one man, Eric Bischoff.
00:18At Survivor Series, you will bear witness
00:22to the Elimination Chamber.
00:25Six raw superstars for the World Heavyweight Title.
00:32An ingenious creation from the mind of Eric Bischoff.

03:02I'm back!
03:04Uh-oh!
03:05And I'm better together
03:08I'll tell you what, the mood of the World's Champion, I'm sure, is indicative
03:13of the other five men that are gonna compete in this match-up.
03:16A first-class ticket to hell.
03:18But as you can see, there's a big smile on the face of that man, Eric Bischoff.
03:22He's proud of himself. He's proud of this Elimination Chamber match.
03:25And, you know, he's the one that purchased these tickets to hell for all of these six superstars.
03:31I am back!
03:34I am back in Madison Square Garden, and back making history once again!
03:42Inside of a match that can only come from the mind, the great mind, of Eric Bischoff.
03:50The Elimination Chamber!
03:57Two miles of chain!
04:01Over ten tons!
04:06Of solid steel designed to punish the human body!
04:14And six raw superstars willing to put themselves through hell
04:20for the ultimate prize, the World Heavyweight Championship!
04:28Now here's how it's all going to happen.
04:30The first four men that enter this ring,
04:33they're going to step inside
04:36and be confined to an internal locked chamber
04:48behind bulletproof plexiglass and steel!
04:54Bulletproof!
04:56Every five minutes, one of these chambers
05:00will be unlocked in random order by one of four referees.
05:08The last two men you see enter the ring tonight, they're going to start the contest.
05:14Now, Elimination, it can happen one of two ways.
05:18Either by pinfall, or if you can't stand the pain,
05:22and if you can't stand the punishment,
05:27then by submission.
05:29Until there is one, just one,
05:33sole survivor,
05:36and that man becoming
05:39the World Heavyweight Champion!
05:46What do you think, JR?
05:47I'll tell you what, that's a very straightforward match
05:51in as much as the rules.
05:53The first four men that enter the ring will go into those chambers.
05:57Look at the way that steel floor, JR, I've never seen anything like it.
05:59The steel floor is exactly level with the ring floor.
06:02I mean, you could be thrown out.
06:04And now, introducing the six participants
06:08in the first ever Elimination Chamber match!
06:25Wow!
06:27Wow!
06:47From Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada,
06:50weighing 216 pounds,
06:53the co-holder of the World Heavyweight Chamber Match,
06:56Ruth Jericho.
07:00Pretty impressive.
07:01Where's Jericho been?
07:03Well, he's been sunk in the ring live by Saliva.
07:06Saliva's at the World at Times Square.
07:09Is he the King of the World?
07:11Is he the King of the Elimination Chamber?
07:13And will the first ever Undisputed Champion be the King of the Ring tonight
07:17and leave the World Heavyweight Champion?
07:21He seems obsessed, King, in becoming once again the man.
07:27Well, he's the holder of the Tag Team Championship.
07:30He was about to add the World Championship back to his-
07:35Well, he's been pressed to the ground.
07:36He's locked in that chamber behind steel and bulletproof glass.
07:41First four men to come to the ring will be put around those chambers,
07:46those four individual chambers.
07:48Meaning, of course, the final two men to come to the ring will start this match off.
07:52We've got not one, but four referees here tonight,
07:55or at least four referees, one standing beside each one of those chambers.
08:01Actually, I guess actually this is Jericho's favor.
08:04He's not gonna have to-
08:05At least he's not gonna be eliminated until his chamber is open.
08:12Would that rather be put in the chamber first, would you?
08:23It has been a very strange night here in New York City's Madison Square Garden.
08:28Thus far, four championships have been put on the line, King,
08:34and we've had four title changes tonight.
08:38Is it an omen, or is the streak going to end with the Elimination Chamber?
08:45I got a feeling that my royal prognostication isn't gonna end.
08:51I got faith in Triple H.
08:58From Houston, Texas, weighing 256 pounds,
09:03Booker T!
09:06Booker T, a 45-time WCW champion, an 11-time tag team champion,
09:12a man who holds a tag team victory over Triple H.
09:16That was a couple of weeks ago on Raw.
09:21Booker T making his way into the ring.
09:23He will also be placed into one of these chambers momentarily.
09:27Look out.
09:34We're close to Cairo.
09:38Chambers are bulletproof. I wonder if they're fireproof.
09:43Booker T now being instructed what chamber that he will be placed in.
09:48There you see him.
09:50I'm hoping to hear Triple H's music next.
09:52I think he'll get a chance to start up in a chamber.
09:57Whoa!
10:00Oh, that's not Triple H!
10:04Weighing 325 pounds,
10:07King!
10:09Well, King is a former WWE champion.
10:12He was a champion in 1998.
10:14And maybe more importantly, King, in his career at Survivor Series,
10:19King has a four-and-one record.
10:24Oh, he'd love to go five-and-one here tonight, wouldn't he, JR?
10:27He'll be the first masked man to ever be the world's heavyweight champion.
10:33He was the last Intercontinental champion.
10:39And he kind of got a break on the luck of the draw as well.
10:43Remember the first four men to come out
10:45will be placed in those small chambers.
10:48They'll be released, so to speak,
10:51one every five minutes.
10:53That's a huge advantage.
10:55I mean, these guys, if they don't have to start the match,
10:58they're going to at least have an opportunity to...
11:00Who's next now?
11:02Uh-oh! Here he is!
11:04Who else could it be?
11:07He's the obvious Intercontinental champion.
11:09Look at this crowd, they are!
11:11From Winniconio, Texas,
11:14weighing 225 pounds,
11:17HBK!
11:19Shawn Michaels!
11:21Shawn Michaels says he's a believer.
11:23He says that on this night,
11:25he truly believes in his heart and soul
11:28he can become the world's heavyweight champion.
11:31And can I compare to Michael Jordan
11:34coming back to the NBA
11:36and leading the league in scoring
11:38and leading his team to the NBA championship?
11:41That's what it would be a hit for Shawn Michaels
11:44to return to Madison Square Garden
11:46and get it done tonight.
11:48Well, I realize, JR,
11:50that that's very important.
11:52That would be huge for Shawn Michaels
11:54to become the world champion.
11:56But believe it or not,
11:58that, he says, is not the number one goal
12:00that he has tonight.
12:02His number one goal, he has stated,
12:04is to make sure that Triple H
12:06leaves Madison Square Garden
12:08without the world championship.
12:10Shawn Michaels has been in ten Survivor Series.
12:13His record is five and five.
12:16His last Survivor Series
12:18was the infamous 1997 Survivor Series
12:21in Montreal.
12:23Oh, John doesn't look too anxious, does he?
12:25I'd be sick of the death knell
12:27in that elimination chamber there.
12:29But it was here at Madison Square Garden,
12:31King and WrestleMania 10,
12:33Shawn Michaels involved in that ladder match.
12:35And now, introducing the two superstars
12:37who were selected to start this match.
12:42From Battle Creek, Michigan,
12:45weighing 235 pounds,
12:48Rob Van Dam!
12:51Yes!
12:52Well, Van Dam,
12:54this pyro wants to move me out of my seat.
12:56A two-time Intercontinental Champion
12:58is Rob Van Dam.
13:00He came very close to becoming the world champion.
13:02He's got a lot of experience.
13:04He's got a lot of experience.
13:06He's got a lot of experience.
13:08He's got a lot of experience.
13:10He got very close to becoming the world champion
13:12back in September and unforgiven
13:14in Los Angeles,
13:17gripped Byron,
13:19came between Van Dam
13:21and Triple H's world title.
13:23Look at the size of his chamber, JR.
13:25This thing is awesome.
13:2736 feet in diameter.
13:29It weighs 20,000 pounds.
13:33Van Dam, looking around,
13:35trying to get familiar with this.
13:37Nobody really knows what's expected here tonight!
13:39Oh, this is a big disadvantage for the reigning world champs, I'll tell you.
13:45That could be another moment.
13:47Did Eric Bischoff do this intentionally?
13:51The question remains, Connecticut.
13:53Weighing 272 pounds,
13:56The World Heavyweight Champion,
14:01Triple H!
14:04Well, Eric Bischoff, the world general manager
14:07awarded Triple H the World Heavyweight Championship
14:10back on September the 2nd.
14:14But if you look a little farther,
14:16peel the onion back one more way, I think,
14:18you look at Triple H's second Survivor Series,
14:21only for six.
14:23He has wins in six Survivor Series outings
14:27as he is checking out
14:29this soulless steel structure.
14:33Look at those chains.
14:35It's not any kind of just wire or cagey.
14:4022,000 pounds and two miles of chain
14:44in this Elimination Chamber.
14:46You know what?
14:47We're nearly mate.
14:50Thanks, boy.
14:51Ric Flair would be a huge advantage at ringside,
14:54but I think this Elimination Chamber
14:56will take all of that advantage.
14:59I don't see how Ric Flair could be any factor
15:01when delivering this match.
15:02I don't think Ric Flair's gonna be in the game,
15:04no pun intended.
15:06While these men will be competing inside
15:08the Devil's Playground,
15:10the first-ever Elimination Chamber match.
15:13And, folks, quite frankly, as broadcasters,
15:16the King and I have absolutely no idea
15:19what to expect in this environment,
15:21and, quite frankly, neither do the competitors.
15:24We are all in uncharted territory tonight,
15:26but I love it, JR, don't you?
15:28It's a lovely adventure like this.
15:29We're witnessing history here tonight.
15:31Indeed we are.
15:32You know what?
15:33This is all about Eric Bischoff
15:35trying to top...
15:36Well, he's trying to top SmackDown.
15:38He's trying to top 70 Men.
15:41I think he's done it, too.
15:42The Hell in a Cell last month was awesome
15:44between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker.
15:47There's no doubt about that.
15:48It'll go down in history as one of the
15:50most dramatic all-time matches
15:52in this company's history, in my view.
15:54It was brutal, all right,
15:55and Bischoff wants to top that
15:57with the Elimination Chamber,
15:59and there you see these men,
16:01their fate being sealed.
16:05Locked inside this unique structure,
16:1036 feet in diameter,
16:1216 feet from the ring to the top of it,
16:15I understand.
16:16Five minutes from now,
16:17one of those chambers will be open,
16:18and one of those superstars will be
16:21introduced into this match.
16:23Bob Van Dam, as we said in September,
16:26came within a heartbeat or so
16:28of becoming the World's Heavyweight Champion,
16:30and with a spinning heel kick,
16:31knocking down Triple H.
16:33Triple H got the worst draw
16:35of any champ that any champion could
16:37in this structure.
16:39I'm gonna ask you some questions, JR,
16:40and hope that you have the answer,
16:41because I think some of these questions
16:43may be on the minds of the fans out there.
16:45What happens if,
16:46well, if during this first five minutes,
16:48what if Rob Van Dam were to pin Triple H
16:50or make him submit?
16:51Well, then that means that Triple H
16:52would be eliminated,
16:53and we will be guaranteed to have
16:55a new World's Heavyweight Champion,
16:57the way I see it,
16:58because five minutes have got to be eliminated.
17:00Oh, look out, look out!
17:01Oh, that's steel!
17:02Triple H, he was backdrop from the ring,
17:04went to that steel breakaway,
17:06and there's no padding,
17:08there's no give,
17:09it's just steel.
17:11Boy, it didn't take long to find out,
17:13well, one of the,
17:14I started to say,
17:15one of the unique characteristics
17:17of this elimination chamber.
17:19As I said, that steel floor,
17:20well, it's exactly level with the ring floor.
17:23And this steel structure
17:25will certainly have no soul,
17:27it will have no conscience.
17:29Look at this, there's almost...
17:31Much like our World's Champion.
17:32You can have a match within a match.
17:34And look at this,
17:35Triple H being around,
17:37face first,
17:38his body right into that,
17:41those chains,
17:43which are the walls of this structure.
17:47That latch just came up,
17:48you're gonna have to re-lock that,
17:50re-lock that latch.
17:52Rob Van Dam
17:53could eliminate Triple H here
17:55before this five-minute period is up,
17:57and then it would be Van Dam one-on-one.
18:00Triple H has been busted open,
18:03and I'll tell you what,
18:04you may see a lot of the cleric blow tonight
18:07in this and Van Dam.
18:10Oh, this is taking place,
18:11I don't know if he flipped.
18:13Shawn Michaels getting a bird's-eye view of it.
18:16I'll tell you,
18:17no matter how much you work your profession,
18:20you learn the ball,
18:22how do you learn to fall on steel?
18:24Van Dam, rolling thunder,
18:26from the ring,
18:27over the top,
18:28to the torso of the champion
18:30who was lying bloody on that steel.
18:34Triple H is busting and bleeding
18:35and battered already,
18:36and we're still in the first five minutes
18:38of this Elimination Chamber match.
18:40It does not bode well
18:41for the World's Heavyweight Champion
18:43to start losing this much blood
18:45so early in this matchup.
18:47Triple H was 0-6 at Survivor Series.
18:50That's what my records show.
18:53Triple H is gonna have to reach way down
18:55and get something.
18:57I'll tell you what,
18:58if he wins this match tonight,
18:59the way it started,
19:00then he truly deserves to be
19:02the Heavyweight Champion of the World.
19:04Oh, look at that.
19:05Van Dam with his one-fingered salute
19:07to the King of the World, Chris Jericho.
19:09Where the hell is Van Dam going?
19:11Oh, look at this.
19:14Jericho.
19:15Jericho, wait a minute,
19:16look at this.
19:17Jericho trying to,
19:18he's got,
19:19I didn't know you could do that.
19:21The roof has been changed.
19:24Jericho's got one of Van Dam's legs
19:26pulled down into his chamber,
19:27and he's holding on to it.
19:29What an advantage for Triple H.
19:31Jericho pulled Van Dam right on that,
19:33right into Jericho's chamber.
19:35Jericho got his face kicked for his trouble.
19:37Triple H trying to gain,
19:38take advantage of the situation.
19:41It's hard to believe,
19:42I think inadvertently,
19:43that Jericho or Triple H
19:44would ever try to coexist
19:46or work together
19:47because they don't like each other.
19:48Oh, man!
19:50Man, Triple H is,
19:51you talk about Van Dam may have,
19:53he may have floored or pulled his hamstring there.
19:56And look at the champion.
19:57These guys are gonna have to learn,
19:58and they need to,
19:59Shawn, take a lesson from what you see here.
20:01Stay on that steel floor.
20:03Stay in the ring if you can.
20:05I would drop in here.
20:06Oh, look at Van Dam.
20:08That is amazing.
20:09Van Dam's hip and his quadricep,
20:12that hamstring,
20:15just hammering and splatting off that,
20:17off the steel.
20:19I would think you would want to
20:20put your opponent out there,
20:21but you would be the one.
20:23He is a kamikaze,
20:25to say the least,
20:26is Rob Van Dam.
20:28And again, Triple H,
20:30he's falling back in the ring.
20:32He didn't get,
20:33he didn't walk back.
20:34He fell back into the ring.
20:35Triple H is in big trouble here.
20:36Oh, man, what a shot.
20:38Triple H's body
20:39has taken a hell of a lot of punishment.
20:41He said he had a first-class ticket to hell.
20:43I don't know who was going with him.
20:44Well, he got there in a hurry, didn't he?
20:46Hey, wait a minute.
20:47We're down to five seconds away
20:49from the next contestant entering here.
20:51Who will be?
20:52Who will be eliminated from their chamber?
20:55How do we find out?
20:56Who do we know?
21:01Uh-oh.
21:02It's Jericho.
21:03It's Chris Jericho.
21:05Jericho meets the heel
21:07of Rob Van Dam's boots.
21:08So now it's Van Dam, Jericho,
21:10and Triple H.
21:12Three of the six.
21:13And again, another shot right to the face.
21:16You're talking about a two-tipper.
21:17That'll do it.
21:18The moonsault.
21:19Could it be?
21:20Oh, he couldn't hook the leg.
21:21RVD couldn't hook the leg.
21:23He got a near fall anyway.
21:24One can wait for Triple H right now.
21:26He's getting at least a minute or two here
21:28to try to recuperate.
21:30It would be wise for Jericho and RVD
21:33to try to eliminate Triple H sooner than later.
21:36You don't want the game to get a second wind here.
21:38But Jericho and RVD,
21:40what a rivalry these two guys have
21:42and could have in the future.
21:45Well, I'm telling you,
21:46they had a little set-two there earlier,
21:47and I think that's what started all this
21:49when Van Dam's leg was yanked down
21:51into Jericho's chamber.
21:53Van Dam dropping Jericho over the top.
21:55Jericho trying to land on his feet.
21:57What's Van Dam going to do here?
21:58And Van Dam again.
21:59Oh, look at him!
22:00My god, he's like Spider-Man.
22:01Spider-Man!
22:03He hooked onto the tees,
22:05came back to the crossbody.
22:07I know that to win the match,
22:09you've got to eliminate a man.
22:10You've got to pin him or make him submit
22:12inside the ring.
22:14I do know that for a fact.
22:16He sprung out of the ring,
22:18punched over those chasers.
22:20He said, like Spider-Man,
22:21then he wants himself like a human torpedo
22:23right into Jericho.
22:25Triple H scored with a clothesline,
22:27but he is so weak right now.
22:28Let's see Spider-Man again.
22:29Here you go. Watch this.
22:31Oh, he just stuck with that rope.
22:33And then the torpedo, boom!
22:36Van Dam is an amazing athlete.
22:38But right now, he's been beaten down
22:40by Chris Jericho.
22:41And Triple H has just pulled himself back up
22:44using the ropes to help him get back to his feet.
22:50Suplex by Jericho.
22:52High-impact, heavy-duty offense by Y2J.
22:56Come on, baby!
22:57And he took a good pinfall that way.
22:59Well, this is arrogance.
23:01This is advertising being every man for himself
23:03is what I'm sure eventually will be.
23:05But if these guys are smart, you're right.
23:07Sometimes you're gonna need a team
23:09after they eliminate somebody.
23:10These men are playing Russian roulette
23:12with their careers in this environment.
23:15And Triple H, wow, all on the great Hardy Race,
23:18that high knee.
23:19And then look at Jericho.
23:20A little teamwork there.
23:21I'm sure inadvertent.
23:22Well, no, it's gonna have to happen.
23:24It's gonna have to take place
23:25to get anybody eliminated.
23:27Covered by Jericho.
23:28And he got a near fall on Rob Van Dam.
23:31It's not like a triple threat match.
23:32You're not gonna see anybody make any saves
23:35on their opponent when the third man
23:37has somebody covered or pinned.
23:39They want people eliminated.
23:40Give him a shot.
23:41Give him a shot.
23:42Jericho said give him a shot.
23:44There's that double team right there.
23:46Jericho and Triple H working together
23:48to eliminate RVD.
23:50That's a smart thing to do.
23:51And to do it before the five-minute period expires.
23:54Good strategy.
23:55And somebody else is out of the chamber.
24:00Out onto that steel.
24:01Van Dam has spent a lot of time
24:03on the steel in this match.
24:04But for that matter, so has Triple H.
24:08Leave it to Eric Bischoff
24:09to come up with this idea.
24:11I love the part.
24:12Look at the steel.
24:13Even with the ring floor.
24:14Right outside.
24:15All the way around.
24:16No, it could be padding.
24:17It could be wood.
24:18It's gotta be steel for it.
24:20Not very wrestler friendly
24:22is this structure to say the least.
24:25And Bischoff could care less.
24:27And of course, Jericho talking to anybody
24:29that will listen that he's the king of the world.
24:33Well, I think right then and there,
24:34I believe it right now.
24:35I do.
24:36Golly.
24:37Man.
24:38I'll tell you what.
24:39There's gonna be six bodies
24:40that are gonna be so sore
24:42they'll have a hard time bathing tomorrow.
24:44But there's gonna be one man that's gonna leave
24:46that's gonna say it was all worth it.
24:48Look at this.
24:49And Van Dam being double teamed.
24:51Jericho and Triple H working like a tag team.
24:54And they despise each other.
24:57It's good strategy, though.
24:59Well, as much as they despise each other,
25:01they both love that world championship.
25:04They both want to be the world champion.
25:06They both crave it.
25:09That's what makes that unholy alliance.
25:15Hard knife edge chop
25:17right across the chest of Van Dam.
25:20Van Dam sent to that corner.
25:22Oh, these guys are working together.
25:23No, Van Dam.
25:24Jericho with the post.
25:26And Van Dam scores with the post.
25:28Double T to the face of Chris Jericho.
25:30I'll be surprised if Jericho's got any teeth
25:33when this one is all said and done.
25:35His belt might be flatter to count.
25:37Uh-oh.
25:39Triple H going at heavy artillery.
25:41And Triple H.
25:42Oh, wow.
25:43Thunderous DDT.
25:46The 260-pound heavyweight champion of the world
25:49is Drill Van Dam.
25:51Time's running down.
25:52Another chamber is about to be opened.
25:54And no one's been eliminated.
25:56But who's next?
25:57Look at that.
25:58Look at that shot, JR.
26:03Booker T!
26:04Booker T!
26:06Booker T now.
26:08Booker T can live his dream tonight
26:10in New York City.
26:11The best man in, Booker T.
26:13I mean, look at this.
26:14And nobody deserves the opportunity.
26:16Nobody deserves to be the world champion
26:19any more than Booker T.
26:20He has cleaned the ring.
26:21And I think now would be as good a time as any
26:24for him to realize.
26:25Five-time, five-time, five-time world champion.
26:27Oh, and he's spinner-rooting in New York City.
26:29Booker T spinner-rooting himself.
26:32Right into a frenzy.
26:34Uh-oh.
26:35Remember, it's every man for himself.
26:39These two men respect each other.
26:40But the stakes are too high here.
26:45Booker T.
26:46Oh, Van Dam.
26:47The unorthodox Van Dam.
26:48And he's like trying to pull smoke to a keyhole.
26:50But he got nailed there by Booker T.
26:53And got heel-kicked.
26:54Booker T ready to book, Rob.
26:56Off the cover.
26:57Booker T.
26:58Van Dam kicking out.
27:00Van Dam has been in since this match started.
27:02As has the world's heavyweight champion, Triple H.
27:05I can't tell you.
27:06I can't impress upon you how much of an advantage this is so far.
27:10For Kane and Shawn Michaels.
27:12Look at the abuse these four guys are taking.
27:15Step over heel-kick.
27:16Van Dam.
27:17Hook to the leg.
27:18He's got three.
27:19No.
27:20He didn't get a three.
27:21Can you imagine being able to come in fresh
27:23and go against these four guys who have literally torn each other apart?
27:26Triple H is still bleeding laying on that steel on the outside.
27:30Triple H is in bad shape.
27:32I don't know where to help Jericho.
27:35There he is, Jericho.
27:36He's trying to regroup on his gut there.
27:38There he is at the bottom of your screen.
27:40You see the right of the kick.
27:41And here you go.
27:42Here's the cover.
27:43Jericho's trying to regroup or look for his teeth.
27:45Not a bad strategy for Triple H and Jericho.
27:47I think I saw his teeth rolling around like chicklets on the floor there.
27:50Booker T and RBD continue to feed each other up for Triple H now.
27:55Trying to take advantage.
27:56Downstairs goes Booker T.
27:58And Booker T with a scissors kick.
28:01The Game don't have a lot left, JR.
28:02This is bad.
28:03Booker T with a scissors kick.
28:05But he didn't follow up on the cover.
28:07And Jericho from behind.
28:08Booker Van Dam with a drop kick.
28:10And Jericho back down to the steel.
28:12Hey, Nate.
28:13And now we're right back where we started, King, with RBD and Triple H.
28:17Is there anything Nate can do for the Game right now?
28:20Van Dam.
28:22Like a cat.
28:23Leaping to the top turnbuckle.
28:25RBD.
28:27Oh, no.
28:28Wait a minute.
28:29He's thinking here.
28:30Here's another one of these, though.
28:31RBD's going to another level.
28:33Another unique thing about this Elimination Chamber.
28:35He is all the way at the top there.
28:37Van Dam is taking it to another level.
28:40You're not Spider-Man.
28:41He's in another time zone up there.
28:45Van Dam.
28:46Oh!
28:47Triple H.
28:49Van Dam there blew his left knee out.
28:52He broke the whole soul right out of the world's heavyweight champion.
29:00My God.
29:01Van Dam.
29:02The top turnbuckle wasn't enough.
29:05He went even higher.
29:06And watch his knee here.
29:08Oh, God.
29:09Van Dam trying to post himself.
29:11And I think that left knee just blew up on him.
29:14Is it his knee or his ankle?
29:15Uh-oh.
29:16Look at this.
29:17Van Dam trying to stand.
29:18Booker T now perched on the top turnbuckle with a missile dropkick.
29:23And Van Dam, he may have really destroyed that knee.
29:26Triple H, he may have busted ribs.
29:28But is Booker T going for the cover?
29:30Whoa!
29:31And he got it.
29:32He got it.
29:33Booker T has eliminated Brock Van Dam.
29:35And Van Dam literally took himself out of the competition
29:39with that five-star Brock splash.
29:41It truly is an Elimination Chamber.
29:43And now Booker T going for the cover here.
29:45Hey, ref.
29:46Booker T's got the cover.
29:47Triple H is down.
29:49He's split himself.
29:50Oh.
29:51And the referee stops the count.
29:54This chamber gives you unique opportunities, J.R.,
29:57to eliminate yourself.
29:58That's what happened to Brock Van Dam.
30:00He never should have gone that high.
30:01He never should have attempted that.
30:03Van Dam went very extreme on that exchange.
30:06How can he get out?
30:07He needs medical attention.
30:09He took himself right out of the game.
30:11He's dragging himself right to the hospital,
30:13the way it looks to me.
30:15Shawn Michaels, take a good look at what happened to Brock Van Dam.
30:17Don't try anything stupid in there.
30:20Shawn Michaels and Kane.
30:23Who will get the nod next?
30:27Whoa, man!
30:28Van Dam getting wheeled out of here.
30:32Jericho.
30:34Ryan Salt landing on his feet.
30:36Booker T had it well scouted.
30:39What a spine buster that was.
30:41Almost took out the referee.
30:43Booker T, with all that torque on Jericho, may have hurt himself.
30:47I think it did take out Jericho, though.
30:50Booker T could get the cover here.
30:52He may get Jericho eliminated.
30:54There it is.
30:55Oh.
30:58How close was that?
30:59Oh, look.
31:00Timed up again, J.R.
31:02Now who?
31:04Oh, oh.
31:08Things are about to heat up in the Elimination Chamber.
31:11It's Kane, the biggest man in this match.
31:15He's 6'10", 320 pounds.
31:18And now he's going to beat on three men that you've got to wonder how much
31:22the three that are in the ring, Jericho, Booker T, and Drew Banks,
31:25how much they could possibly have left.
31:27I don't think Booker T can beat Kane.
31:32I don't think Booker T's got much left.
31:34Jericho's got even less, and Kane's got even less than those two.
31:38The big red machine can destroy anybody on their best day.
31:42And now after this, it may be academic before Kane starts eliminating people.
31:47That steel floor out there is a killer.
31:49Has absolutely no give.
31:51Solid steel painted black.
31:55Now what?
31:57Oh, he's going to use him as a battery ram.
32:00Jericho like a human javelin.
32:02His head rammed into the chains that comprise the walls
32:07of the Elimination Chamber.
32:10What do you think about that?
32:12Whoa!
32:13Almighty.
32:15And it may be bulletproof, but the force of Kane, 320 pounds,
32:21just sent Jericho through that plexiglass to a 12-foot velocity.
32:26All I can tell you is that plexiglass may be bulletproof,
32:29but it ain't Kane-proof.
32:31Did you see that, JR?
32:32And Jericho maybe cut to bits right there.
32:34He went right through that plexiglass with the force of the big red machine.
32:38Somebody check on him.
32:39He remembers every man for himself.
32:41Here it is.
32:42Watch this.
32:43Oh, my God.
32:45Almighty.
32:46That is so dangerous.
32:48Just like this whole environment, this soulless steel structure
32:53with no conscience.
32:55That man Jericho may never be the same.
32:58He's lucky he's even being able to move around.
33:01I see blood.
33:02He's bleeding.
33:06Kane now, manhandling Booker T.
33:08Booker T, though, avoids it.
33:10Oh, wow.
33:14Low blow to the outside by Jericho.
33:17And the choke slam by Kane on Booker T.
33:21The knockdown by Kane again.
33:23A low blow from Jericho.
33:27Look at that.
33:28Jericho with a lion's saw.
33:30After being thrown through that glass.
33:32The low blow of the choke slam with a lion's saw.
33:35And Booker T's eliminated.
33:37Chris Jericho has eliminated Booker T from the Elimination Chamber.
33:43Man, if you can't stay away from Kane, he'll throw you through anything.
33:46He may be able to throw you right through that steel.
33:49Jericho bleeding.
33:50Sure he's bleeding.
33:51They are.
33:54He may try to throw him through every one of those chambers.
33:58Kane is a dangerous man with the opportunity to be the first masked man
34:03to win the World Heavyweight Champion.
34:05I think he's been thrown through another chamber.
34:09Jericho fighting for his career here.
34:11Fighting for his wrestling life.
34:13There's no way out of this chamber.
34:15Jericho trying to escape.
34:17But nowhere to go.
34:19Jericho already battered and bloody.
34:22He's pulverized by the Big Red Machine.
34:26Oh, man.
34:27You can hear the impact there.
34:29And now Kane.
34:30Oh, no.
34:32I'm going to tell you something, JR.
34:34It's sick.
34:35Can I tell you something?
34:36Yeah.
34:37Eric Bischoff is a freaking genius.
34:39This is great.
34:41Well, this is an unbelievable match.
34:44But it's certainly one of those situations where careers are going to be changed.
34:48That's what's great about it.
34:49I hope they're not shortened.
34:50But they're going to be changed after this night.
34:54Booker T and RBD have been eliminated.
34:57Four men remain.
35:00Suplex by Kane.
35:02And look at Triple H.
35:03He wasn't going to help Jericho.
35:05He's not going to help Jericho.
35:06He's not going to help anybody.
35:09Can't connect to that elbow.
35:10Kane has unleashed himself here in this environment.
35:14Kane was the next to last man to be released from this chamber.
35:17It's got to be going through the mind of Shawn Michaels right now, JR.
35:20After seeing all this carnage, what's he thinking?
35:22I wonder if he believes as strongly now as he did last week on Raw
35:28when he talked about winning the World's Heavyweight Championship
35:32and a new sheriff being in town.
35:34I bet that five minutes of this flying by to Shawn,
35:36I bet he wishes it would last longer.
35:39Kane manhandling this, forcing Triple H off that turnbuckle
35:43with a huge slam.
35:44And look at Kane.
35:45I mean, the time that he's been in there has taken a lot out of him.
35:49Can you imagine what Triple H is like?
35:52And this is like one of those proverbial human demolition derbies.
35:56And Jericho may have got a low blow.
35:58Maybe it wasn't.
35:59But he's connected again with that missile dropkick knocking down Kane.
36:04Oh, listen to these fans.
36:06We are about seven seconds away from the arrival of HBK
36:10in this Elimination Chamber match, JR.
36:12His second match in four years.
36:15You can't wait.
36:16Look at him.
36:17He's here.
36:20Shawn Michaels.
36:23Jericho.
36:24And then the King.
36:25He's hitting everything in sight.
36:26Look out, ref.
36:27You can bet your bottom dollar that he will find Triple H in due time.
36:31Triple H didn't know how to stand up and get any of those shots.
36:33Back body drop.
36:34Oh, Kane taking down Shawn Michaels.
36:36It's every man for himself.
36:38There will only be one winner, one survivor at the Survivor Series.
36:42And he will be the World Heavyweight Champion.
36:44Look at this.
36:45Shawn Michaels.
36:46He's not quick.
36:47He's sudden.
36:48He shot right in Kane's face.
36:50Avoided contact on one pass.
36:52And came back with a flying forearm on the other.
36:55Let me just tell you how smart the Cerebral Assassin is.
36:58I think he could probably get up if he absolutely had to.
37:02But he is using his head.
37:03He is staying down and staying out of the fray if he can.
37:06Oh, my gosh.
37:08I don't know if that's accurate or not.
37:09But right now, the Cerebral Assassin has dodged the bullet.
37:12It is Kane, Jericho, a bloody Jericho, and Shawn Michaels
37:17that are seeing the action right now.
37:20And look at the strength of Kane.
37:21That's some action that Jericho is not enjoying seeing, I can assure you.
37:25Kane, the biggest, the strongest, and maybe the nastiest man.
37:29No, no, no.
37:30People at his heart have anybody in this match.
37:32And Kane, taking Shawn Michaels out.
37:34And Michaels with that horrendously bad back.
37:37Just got chokeslammed on it.
37:39Oh, no.
37:40Two legs walked right into him.
37:41Look at this one.
37:42A chokeslam.
37:44Kane is dominating here.
37:46He's already chokeslammed two of the three.
37:50Oh, no.
37:51And now it's a trifecta.
37:53The hat trick for Kane, three chokeslams.
37:57Now what?
37:58He plans on finishing somebody off.
38:00Look at Kane.
38:01Who's it going to be?
38:03Kane is already in on it.
38:04Kane's in the driver's seat here, King.
38:06I think it's Portia Blake.
38:07And this war for the World Heavyweight Championship.
38:12Uh-oh.
38:13Could be a tombstone.
38:15Oh.
38:16Superkick.
38:17My God, Shawn Michaels came out of nowhere with a superkick.
38:21Everybody's down, JR.
38:23This is the carnage and the results of the Elimination Chamber.
38:28Oh, my God.
38:29Kane set up.
38:30Whoa.
38:31The red figure.
38:32And Kimmel has gone for the pedigree.
38:33He's going to set up for this.
38:34Kimmel has got the pedigree after Shawn Michaels' superkick.
38:38Superkick, pedigree, and now this.
38:41And the Lion's Salt.
38:43He's taking them all.
38:44The hook of the leg.
38:45One, two, three.
38:48First the superkick, then the pedigree, and then the Lion's Salt.
38:53Kane has now eliminated.
38:56He took all three finishing maneuvers from the three surviving men
39:00in the Elimination Chamber.
39:03Oh, wow.
39:04Inadvertent teamwork.
39:07Oh, wow.
39:08And Shawn Michaels, bad back and all.
39:11Clotheslined over the top to the steel.
39:13Shawn Michaels only a second match in four years.
39:16After sustaining what we thought was a career-ending back injury,
39:20he returned to SummerSlam.
39:22The Big Triple H in a street fight.
39:25It's his first time in Survivor Series since 1997.
39:30Since Montreal.
39:33Watch this.
39:34Take a look at this again.
39:36Watch Shawn.
39:37Watch his back.
39:38Oh.
39:39There's no way that you can protect yourself landing on steel.
39:43When you're back to that steel, there's no way you can protect yourself.
39:47Shawn has just got to hope and pray that, and I'm afraid it's about to happen,
39:50that both Triple H and Jericho don't start working together on Shawn.
39:56But it looks like that may be the case now, JR.
39:58Three men remain.
39:59Three men survive to this point in the Elimination Chamber.
40:03But there can only be one winner.
40:05Only one man can survive here tonight
40:08and walk out the World's Heavyweight Champion.
40:11It started out with Triple H and RBD.
40:14RBD's the Eliminator.
40:16Come on.
40:17Well, Shawn Michaels believes.
40:18You can hear these fans believe.
40:20HBK, look.
40:22These guys are both pleading.
40:23Jericho's pleading.
40:24Triple H's pleading.
40:25They're determined to bust Shawn Michaels open as well.
40:28Triple H hard pinned to Mike from both hands.
40:31He just wants to open him up.
40:33They want to let Shawn Michaels see the color of his own blood.
40:37Jericho calling Triple H reluctant partners as it were.
40:41Look at the king of the world.
40:43Not just guys in prison.
40:45What?
40:46This is like being in prison.
40:48This is a lot worse than Oz or anything like that.
40:51The Elimination Chamber, I can assure you.
40:57Shawn Michaels thrown over the top rope.
40:59Nowhere to land but on that steel.
41:02And this is from a man that, as we said,
41:04had one match in four years after his career was stopped.
41:09This is the worst thing that could happen to Shawn.
41:12These guys working together.
41:13Triple H and Jericho.
41:15I can assure you, JR.
41:17They'll turn on each other like venomous snakes.
41:21Is Shawn bleeding?
41:22Yeah, Shawn Michaels is bleeding now.
41:25A hard right hand.
41:26And Shawn Michaels on that steel platform outside the ring room.
41:32He's just taking shot after shot.
41:34His brain's being scrambled by Y2J and Triple H.
41:39Well, we can talk about how great Shawn Michaels is.
41:42But let's talk a little bit about Triple H.
41:44I mean, he is still standing.
41:46He is still dishing out the punishment.
41:48And he's the man that started this Elimination Chamber match.
41:51He's absorbed the most abuse.
41:53He's taken the most punishment.
41:54But he's still in there.
41:55He is still the world champion.
41:57And I still say, JR, that he'll be the world champion
41:59when this thing's over.
42:01How ironic for Shawn Michaels with his change of life,
42:04his change of philosophy inside this devil's playground
42:08here in Madison Square Garden.
42:10That will be forever known as the Elimination Chamber.
42:14Michaels is a bloody mess.
42:16Jericho is bleeding.
42:18Triple H has been bleeding for the longest time.
42:21Come on, Michael.
42:22And I'll tell you what, King.
42:24I have to give the devil his dues.
42:28Triple H is surviving.
42:30But Jericho may not survive much longer.
42:33Shawn Michaels reaching down into his heart and soul
42:37to survive and compete here.
42:39Oh, Shawn is busting badly.
42:41Look out.
42:42Triple H clothesline back into the ring.
42:46What's Shawn gonna do here?
42:47Oh, wait a minute.
42:48You gotta be kidding me.
42:49Oh, no, a power drive.
42:50It could be a power drive.
42:51You power drive somebody on that Elimination Chamber floor.
42:54That's it for him.
42:55You're talking about a career.
42:56Jericho trying to fight out of it.
42:57And he does.
42:58And back drops Shawn Michaels from the power drive position
43:01right to the steel.
43:04Sometimes I think maybe concrete would be nicer.
43:08Shawn on both knees, falling back in the ring.
43:11This Elimination Chamber, JR, is the brainchild of Eric Bischoff.
43:16He don't want anything about it to be nice.
43:18He don't want anything about it to be soft.
43:20He wants it to hurt.
43:21Everything about it is supposed to inflict pain.
43:24Oh, what a fly throw by Shawn Michaels.
43:27Bischoff could care less if these men's career is at the end right here.
43:31Don't you know he's smiling right now?
43:32Don't you know Eric Bischoff is laughing?
43:35Shawn Michaels with a nip-off.
43:38And look at Jericho from behind with that modified bulldog
43:42taking down a bloody Shawn Michaels.
43:44The lion's talk.
43:46Jericho hit the lion's talk.
43:48The hook of the leg.
43:49This is the end.
43:50It's not the end.
43:52Shawn Michaels is still a believer.
43:54Kick down the line.
43:55He rips his nose.
43:56The hook of the leg.
43:57And Shawn Michaels, by God, is refusing to be pinned.
44:01And the king of the world can't believe it.
44:04A solid right hand.
44:05And Michaels bleeding profusely.
44:09And Jericho just teeing off on Shawn Michaels.
44:15Cowboy boot to the face.
44:17Right in the mouth of the king of the world.
44:20Shawn Michaels.
44:23Can it be?
44:24Did he get it?
44:25Did he get it?
44:26I don't think he got it.
44:27If the referee had not been out of position,
44:29if Earl Heder had been in the right place there,
44:32Shawn Michaels with a moonsault.
44:34Uh-oh.
44:35Now he's trying to turn Jericho over.
44:37What's he trying to do?
44:38That's a wild Jericho.
44:39Maybe it is.
44:40That's what it is.
44:43The war with Jericho.
44:44That busted crab-like maneuver.
44:47And Triple H with a DDT.
44:49And Shawn Michaels' bloody face bounces right off the canvas.
44:53And now Jericho wants the cover.
44:55Will it be?
44:56And Triple H says, no.
44:58I think Triple H says, I want to be.
45:01And this is not smart by the two eagle maniacs.
45:08And here it is.
45:09Jericho and Triple H.
45:11They turn on each other like venomous snakes.
45:13Boy, this thing has turned into the dim, the slobber knocker
45:16we've seen in years.
45:18And that's a high impact.
45:19You can hear the impact, the thud, the forearm
45:22right to the clavicle of Y2J.
45:26And Triple H.
45:27Face buster, yep.
45:28Oh, that was a face buster.
45:30Jericho lowering his head.
45:31The hook to the leg now.
45:33The hook to the foreleg.
45:34And Triple H got a near fall.
45:36Yeah, this is all working in Shawn Michaels' favor
45:38at this point.
45:39If these two guys can destroy each other,
45:41that's nothing but good for Shawn Michaels.
45:43Well, it was bound to come down at some point.
45:45But Triple H and Y2J, it had to.
45:50Triple H trying to lower Jericho in the pedigree
45:55but Jericho counters.
45:57And it's Jericho.
45:58Into the bones of Jericho.
46:00He's got it on Triple H.
46:02Will Triple H tap?
46:03Triple H, he will have no choice here.
46:06He's getting his arm in position there.
46:08I think he's gonna tap.
46:09The World Heavyweight Champion.
46:11Can he survive any longer?
46:13Oh, he's trying to get to the ropes.
46:15Triple H is reaching down.
46:16He has the game.
46:17He loves this title.
46:18He's trying to get to those ropes to save his title.
46:21He is possessed of being the World Heavyweight Champion.
46:24Look at him working his way there.
46:25He's working his way.
46:28And Jericho pulls the game into the mix.
46:31Shawn Michaels, what a kick.
46:33What a kick.
46:34Sweet kid music.
46:36And now we're down to two.
46:39Michaels eliminates Jericho.
46:41Wait a minute.
46:42And we're down to two.
46:43Do you believe, JR?
46:44Do you believe in that man?
46:46How can you not believe in Shawn Michaels' team?
46:49Because he's a bloody mess.
46:50And because he's going to get the game.
46:52The Cerebral Assassin, Triple H.
46:54That's how you can not believe in Shawn Michaels.
46:57The first ever Elimination Chamber match.
47:00It's down to two men.
47:02And Shawn Michaels and Triple H paying off.
47:05Amano, Amano here.
47:06I love it.
47:07These guys hate each other.
47:09And they're trying to destroy each other.
47:11It's a huge right hand.
47:12Triple H is feeling a little stronger in stature,
47:15but not in heart.
47:16Uh-oh.
47:17Nobody can fight Buster.
47:19Shades of Warren Anderson are not spying Buster.
47:21It was Sin Lady.
47:22Right in those kidneys.
47:23And now the hood is hooked.
47:25Triple H is spying.
47:26No, it's not.
47:27Triple H started this competition off against Rob Van Dam.
47:31Triple H has been in this match every minute
47:34since the opening bell.
47:36And he has been bleeding since about three or four minutes
47:39into this match.
47:40You can say what you want to about Triple H.
47:42He was handed the title.
47:43He doesn't deserve to be the champion.
47:45But he is proving to the world.
47:47He's shutting up all the naysayers right here.
47:49He's beating the best.
47:50Oh, look out!
47:51Oh, my.
47:52That may be it right there.
47:54Shawn Michaels landed.
47:55And you see how he's held those arms.
47:58It's almost like I'm surveying the damage.
48:01What did I just do to myself?
48:02I think he realizes that he wrenched his back on that one,
48:05JR.
48:07It was expected when Shawn Michaels retired four years ago
48:11from a back injury that he would never, ever compete again.
48:15But he did at SummerSlam.
48:16But has his luck run out?
48:19I'm a believer, but I'll tell you.
48:21Look out!
48:22He reverts it up.
48:23He is so resilient.
48:25It's Shawn Michaels.
48:26The longer the heartbreak ends.
48:28What is he going to do here?
48:30Why is there an admission?
48:31All right.
48:32I don't know.
48:33I don't believe you can do this.
48:34A pedigree.
48:36Shawn kind of pedigrees Triple H.
48:38Triple H.
48:39Double leg pick up on Shawn Michaels.
48:42Oh!
48:43Oh, my God!
48:45Michaels teleported.
48:47Look at the man.
48:48His body has been broken perhaps in half here.
48:52The challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship.
48:55And, folks, I don't want to say it, but I think what's on it.
48:59You can say it.
49:00It's over right there.
49:03It's over.
49:05Do you believe in Triple H now, JR?
49:07I think it's over.
49:08But you've got to give Shawn Michaels credit for trying.
49:11I'll give him credit.
49:12But you've got to give him some less credit for being
49:14able to do this to the man.
49:16Oh, my God.
49:17Every fiber of his being, Shawn Michaels
49:19returning one last time, leaving his home,
49:23leaving his family, leaving his security
49:25to step back to the ring here on this night
49:28to try to be the World's Heavyweight Champion.
49:31To make sure that Triple H didn't leave with a title.
49:34Well, and now there's only one man that
49:36can stop Triple H from not leaving with a title,
49:38and that is Shawn Michaels.
49:40But, unfortunately, Shawn Michaels
49:41is going to leave his body and his health
49:43inside this Elimination Chamber.
49:45He's finished, JR.
49:46He's done for.
49:48Oh, this crowd almost enough.
49:50And a stunned silence.
49:51Yeah, they're stunned.
49:52Shawn Michaels go right through that bulletproof glass.
49:56And now here it is.
49:57It's got to be over.
49:59He can't tally it.
50:00OK, don't get excited.
50:02Shawn Michaels, he said he believed.
50:03Well, I guarantee you right now he
50:05believes that Triple H is giving him an ass kicking.
50:07That's what he's getting.
50:08Well, that's exactly what Triple H is doing.
50:10You're right about that.
50:11Look, Shawn maybe put out of his misery here any moment.
50:16But maybe not.
50:17Maybe he's not through.
50:19Maybe not.
50:20This great champion has still got some heart
50:22and some fight left in him.
50:23Come on, JR.
50:24It's time to give it up.
50:25Don't get sucked into that I believe stuff.
50:27There's the man you believe in right there.
50:29There's the champion.
50:30He deserved it.
50:31Yeah, it was handed to him.
50:32But he proved to the world that he deserved it.
50:35The champion's been damn impressive in this match.
50:38As bad as I hate to admit it.
50:39And Shawn Michaels trying to pull himself up.
50:41I think he's begging for forgiveness.
50:43He's not begging for mercy.
50:45He's already begged for forgiveness.
50:47From a higher authority than Triple H,
50:49who just scores with another hard right.
50:52Michael's just fighting on guts and instincts.
50:55Nothing but guts and instincts.
50:57The game is thunderous in the right hands.
50:59And Michaels will not waver.
51:01He will not back up.
51:03And Michaels now doing some momentum.
51:06I told you, JR.
51:09I told you.
51:10Talked about how to pull himself up.
51:12He did.
51:13He went right on the top ropes.
51:15Don't ever doubt that, man.
51:16Don't doubt me, JR.
51:17I told you this was gonna happen.
51:20The Cerebral Assassin now has the opportunity
51:23to finish what he started after the SummerSlam match.
51:28Will you believe in Triple H then?
51:31Will you believe in Triple H if he wins?
51:34Will you believe in Triple H if he wins this thing, JR?
51:37Come on, don't do this.
51:39He's got the pedigree of the steel.
51:42Shawn Michaels trying to do here.
51:46Wait a minute.
51:47No.
51:48Catapulting the game into that post and chain.
51:52A part of those two miles of chain.
51:54Michaels catapulting the game right into it.
51:58Too much has been taken out of Shawn Michaels.
52:02He's reached down, and he's gotten everything that there was to get,
52:07and he's still come up short.
52:09Don't discount this man's heart.
52:11Don't discount his soul.
52:13He's still breathing.
52:14He's still in this thing.
52:17Triple H could not put Shawn Michaels away on that last exchange.
52:21Somehow, Shawn Michaels survived.
52:24These fans want to believe they're still chanting HBK.
52:29Uh-oh.
52:30What's Shawn doing now?
52:32What is he doing?
52:34I believe in Shawn Michaels.
52:37No, no.
52:38You haven't seen somebody in their night like this, Shawn.
52:41RBD ended his night in almost the same position.
52:45What is Shawn Michaels thinking?
52:47No.
52:48Down the elbow.
52:49Shawn Michaels with the elbow.
52:51From the top of the chamber.
52:53From the top of the chamber.
52:55He broke his elbow into the black part of the champion.
52:58He may have broken ribs there, JR.
53:01Check with him, ref.
53:02Can he breathe?
53:03Triple H in a position.
53:05Here's another look.
53:07Unbelievable from the top of the chamber.
53:12Michaels driving his elbow.
53:14Shawn Michaels trying to negotiate for the cover.
53:18He's not going for the cover.
53:19What's he doing?
53:20That may come back and haunt Shawn Michaels.
53:22Not going for the cover there.
53:24Oh, wait a minute.
53:25He can't help himself, JR.
53:27He is bloody.
53:28He is dazed.
53:29He may believe in Shawn Michaels,
53:30but he can't keep the showstopper from coming out at him.
53:34He can't stop the show voting.
53:37Yes, I knew it.
53:39This ain't going to work.
53:41Shawn Michaels tuning up the band.
53:43Perhaps for some sweet, sweet tin music.
53:47Triple H, he's having a hard time negotiating.
53:51Back to his feet.
53:54Listen.
53:55Everybody in Madison Square Garden.
53:57I knew it.
53:59I knew it.
54:00The kick was blocked.
54:01I knew it.
54:03Didn't I tell you?
54:04It's over.
54:07Triple H blocked the super kick.
54:09The sweet tin music.
54:10He scored with a pedigree.
54:12I told you, JR.
54:14But Triple H cannot.
54:15He can't capitalize at this moment.
54:20He is a bloody and battered man.
54:23But he's turned to his stomach.
54:25He sees his adversary.
54:26Just get one arm across him.
54:27One finger is all you need.
54:29Shawn Michaels is done.
54:30There it is.
54:31The arm over.
54:32Is this how it's going to be?
54:33No, it's not how it's going to end.
54:35What?
54:36It's not going to end that way.
54:37What?
54:38Shawn Michaels got a stoner up after the leg cover on the pedigree.
54:42How did he do that?
54:44I knew that super kick wouldn't work.
54:46But this should have worked.
54:48Shawn Michaels not let the pedigree finish him off.
54:51And Shawn Michaels is pulling himself up.
54:53He's still in it.
54:54Triple H couldn't believe it.
54:56He thought he would get three there.
54:58And the game runs out.
55:00He's going to try again.
55:01One more pedigree.
55:02He's going to strangle Michaels.
55:03Look out.
55:04Back body drop again.
55:06He came out of it.
55:07Sweet tin music.
55:10The power.
55:11The power.
55:12He's got it.
55:13What?
55:14Shawn Michaels.
55:15Shawn Michaels is the world champion.
55:19What did you say?
55:21The new world heavyweight champion, HBK Shawn Michaels.
55:28Not on their feet in Madison Square Garden.
55:31My God, I don't believe it.
55:33I don't believe it.
55:34We're on their feet all over the world right now, JR.
55:37Nobody believes this.
55:38Shawn Michaels is the heavyweight champion.
55:41No.
55:43Look at him.
55:45My God, can you believe it?
55:48This may be the world's biggest celebration.
55:50I know it's been said before, but in the WWE, do you believe in miracles?
55:57Shawn Michaels believes in himself.
56:01Michaels believes in his ability to win this match, and he has survived it.
56:07I'm just a sexy boy.
56:11I'm not your boy at all.
56:15I'm just a sexy boy.
56:17Yo, look at this beat.
56:18JR, I've never seen anything like it.
56:20This beats Times Square in New York City, doesn't it?
56:23What a night.
56:25A sold-out Madison Square Garden.
56:27The Survivor Series.
56:31And here's how it went down.
56:34The second of his recovery.
56:36And from the moon, right on the jaw, sleeps his music.
56:41My God, I don't believe it.
56:43I'm not believing this night.
56:48Shawn Michaels did it.
56:49He's done the impossible, JR.
56:51Shawn Michaels is back in the record books.
56:54Shawn Michaels is back on top.
56:58Shawn Michaels is the man.
57:00Shawn Michaels is the world's heavyweight champion.
57:05In his own words, JR, there's a new sheriff in town in the WWE.
57:10You better believe.
57:12You better believe he's our new world champion.
57:15I'm not your boy at all.
