00:00Time of life, Eddie Guerrero against Bradshaw.
00:03Last time we saw Latino, he's the WWE champion.
00:06He was getting sent to prison by the local police,
00:09but Guerrero's here tonight, baby.
00:12And for Bradshaw,
00:13he has made this matchup extremely personal.
00:19Ladies and gentlemen, from New York City,
00:22John Bradshaw Mayfield.
00:26What greater success stories are there
00:28in America than me?
00:30I've got a financial book
00:32by Shaman and Schuster out.
00:34I've got a radio show that starts May 1st.
00:37I have become the top financial analyst on network TV.
00:42I've got a portfolio
00:44that has beat the stock market seven
00:47out of the last seven years.
00:51I have succeeded in everything but one thing,
00:53and that is wrestling,
00:54because I thought it was more important
00:56to have a good time, to drink beer,
00:58to play cards, to visit our troops.
01:00But that ain't got me, Jack.
01:03So something's fixing to happen around here.
01:05You're fixing to see an impact.
01:08So get ready.
01:09Business is about to pick up.
01:13Oh, my God!
01:14Bradshaw, what the hell are you doing?
01:16What I say I do and what I do,
01:19I do very, very well.
01:21Talk about impact.
01:22Wow!
01:23Ladies and gentlemen,
01:25the winner of the Kurt Angle Great American Award
01:27and thus the number one contender for the WWE title
01:31goes to John Bradshaw Latham!
01:34Oh, come on!
01:36Wow, he did it!
01:37Who better to represent America than me, JBL?
01:42What I see is a Great American sellout.
01:46Eddie Guerrero has stolen the spotlight from JBL.
01:49He's a thief!
01:50You are a black mark on society, Eddie Guerrero.
01:53You are a disgrace to America!
01:56You're gonna pay for this, Eddie.
01:57You will pay.
01:58Pay, pay, pay, pay, pay, pay.
02:02Ladies and gentlemen, a tragic incident occurred
02:05involving the Guerrero family.
02:08Eddie was in the ring, finished up a match,
02:11invited his family in to celebrate.
02:14And unfortunately, this tragedy followed.
02:17Oh, my God!
02:27Mrs. Guerrero, Eddie's mother, suffered a heart attack.
02:35Eddie Guerrero put his family in harm's way.
02:40That's his business.
02:41Eddie has to take responsibility for the circumstances
02:45and what happens, the consequences.
02:49You don't understand something, John.
02:51You traumatized my family.
02:54You put your hands on a 76-year-old defenseless woman.
03:01That, my friend, is a coward.
03:04Make no mistake, I don't give a damn
03:07about Eddie Guerrero's mother.
03:09If she dies, she dies.
03:12The one that everybody has to worry about,
03:14especially your family, is you.
03:17Eddie Guerrero has completely lost it.
03:21This isn't about Eddie's mother.
03:23This is about my meeting with destiny.
03:25I'm gonna kick the living s*** out of you.
03:29I will personally guarantee victory.
03:32Will this carnage be the scene at Judgment Day?
03:36♪♪
03:41-♪♪
03:43Well, here we go.
03:45♪♪
03:51I know this is your favorite part.
03:54JBL, baby.
03:55Only his friends call him JBL.
03:57The number-one contender for the WWE Championship.
04:00♪♪
04:04The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
04:07and it is for the WWE Championship.
04:12Introducing first, the challenger from New York City,
04:15weighing in at 297 pounds,
04:19John Bradshaw Layfield.
04:23♪♪
04:29You know, Bradshaw says that he's gonna win the title
04:32for John Bradshaw Layfield's America.
04:36You know what? I don't want any part of Bradshaw's America.
04:40Well, you live in it.
04:41No, I don't.
04:42Yes, you do.
04:43-♪♪
04:47I will be doing this in English.
04:52So, for those of you who need a translator,
04:56look to an American near you
04:57and ask him to translate to English, please.
05:00I want to congratulate you people in Los Angeles
05:08because you are part of history,
05:14the new era of John Bradshaw Layfield's America.
05:23I know that a lot of you
05:28swam an awful long way
05:31and climbed a bunch of fences to get here.
05:36And I'd like to tell you this.
05:39Save a spot on the raft for Eddie Guerrero
05:42to take him back to that third world you call Mexico.
05:47But I'll tell you what.
05:53The benevolent guy that I am,
05:55I did just lose my housekeeper.
05:58You see, she stole from me, a Mexican lady.
06:01And so I need another.
06:03So, here's what I'm going to do.
06:05You take Eddie Guerrero back
06:07because he will no longer be champion.
06:10And I, out of the generosity of my heart,
06:14will use Eddie Guerrero's mother as my maid.
06:22That way, she can live out
06:25the last remaining days of her life
06:28in my glorious home, New York City.
06:33This is tasteless. I hate it.
06:37Congratulations on being part of a new era
06:42because today, I guarantee you,
06:47I absolutely guarantee you
06:51that I will be victorious in this very ring.
06:57Wow. Strong statements right there, Cole.
07:00Talk about close-minded.
07:01Ah, he's straight-up guaranteed his victory tonight.
07:05And he's going to become champion.
07:06That's impressive to be that bold and confident.
07:10Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!
07:13Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!
07:15Viva la Rafa!
07:22And making his way to us from El Paso, Texas,
07:27weighing in at 228 pounds,
07:31is the WWE Champion, Eddie Guerrero!
07:37A classic lowrider for the WWE Champion.
07:41For the first time since Eddie's mother
07:47suffered a heart attack caused, in my opinion,
07:51by John Bradshaw Layfield,
07:53Eddie Guerrero gets Bradshaw in the ring tonight.
07:56Bradshaw must face the music.
07:59No running tonight.
08:01Eddie Guerrero looks extremely geeked up
08:05and tied up for this matchup, and so he should.
08:08All the emotional ramifications going into this,
08:11everything that Eddie's been put through by that man,
08:14John Bradshaw Layfield,
08:15besides the fact the championship is on the line.
08:18When you talk about emotion,
08:20Eddie Guerrero must be able to channel those emotions tonight.
08:24If he loses the emotional battle,
08:27he may lose the championship.
08:28You're right. We discussed that earlier, Cole.
08:30Can Eddie stay focused? Can Eddie stay focused?
08:33And look at Bradshaw.
08:34That idiot just asked Eddie Guerrero how his mother is.
08:38Well, you can't blame Bradshaw for doing that.
08:40Well, I can tell you this.
08:41Eddie's mom, Erlinda,
08:43is resting comfortably in El Paso, Texas.
08:46Well, that's good. Eddie telling me earlier today
08:47that she's doing wonderfully,
08:49considering she didn't suffer that mild heart attack
08:52a couple of weeks ago.
08:53And now Bradshaw trying to play the mind game,
08:56trying to draw that Latino heat out only.
08:58And I believe Bradshaw,
09:00well, if he can get through the early part of this matchup,
09:02he's got a great chance.
09:03That's a good point.
09:04But I'll tell you what, Eddie, man,
09:06I've known Eddie a lot of years.
09:08I'm wrestling him. I'm tagging him.
09:09Eddie Guerrero, he's got that Latino heat.
09:12Look at those eyes, my friend.
09:13I talk about people's eyes a lot,
09:15because eyes tell the story.
09:17Eddie Guerrero's eyes, that's a dark look, man.
09:20That's a dark look.
09:21Bradshaw has called Eddie Guerrero a criminal.
09:24Bradshaw says that he will win the title tonight
09:27for John Bradshaw Layfield America.
09:31Eddie has just zoomed in.
09:34Look at him. On Bradshaw.
09:35Yeah, Bradshaw, look at Bradshaw.
09:38He's just getting fired up, too.
09:40Bradshaw, battle, man. I'm ready for this.
09:43Over 18,000 chanting Eddie Guerrero's name.
09:47The champion simmering inside, nearing a boiling point.
09:52Let's do it, man. Let's do it.
09:55Here we go!
09:56And Bradshaw misses right hand.
09:57Here's the champion, Eddie Guerrero.
09:58Again, Eddie Guerrero hammering away at Bradshaw.
10:02And Bradshaw trying to get away,
10:04trying to get away from this ring.
10:06Whoa!
10:07And Eddie Guerrero.
10:09It's a proverbial, you can run, but you can't hide them.
10:12I'll tell you what, Bradshaw, every punch that Eddie throws,
10:15he's got to be thinking about his mom.
10:19Again, for Bradshaw, Bradshaw must somehow survive
10:23this initial emotional wave of Eddie Guerrero.
10:26If Bradshaw can't, he's got a shot.
10:28If he can't, it's going to be over quickly.
10:30True, very true.
10:31Now, Eddie throwing Bradshaw back to the ring.
10:33And Bradshaw wisely getting out of the ring,
10:35but Eddie Guerrero relentless in his pursuit.
10:38Well, right out of the box call, Bradshaw's hurt here.
10:42And the champion bouncing Bradshaw off the steel post.
10:46Now, Eddie in control.
10:47Look at this, look at this.
10:50And appropriately, Bradshaw bounced off
10:52the Spanish announce table.
10:54Straight into the Spanish announce table.
10:56Bradshaw's down.
10:57Eddie Guerrero, no sign of Eddie slowing down.
11:01Eddie back into the ring to break the count.
11:03Again, again, we're talking about his emotions.
11:05Take it over.
11:06Eddie, still smart, got back in the ring and busted the count.
11:10What do you think, Eddie's mom, the matriarch of the great Guerrero family?
11:14What do you think she's thinking right now, watching this in El Paso?
11:18I don't know, she might be proud of something.
11:19She's choking him.
11:20I believe that was a camera cable that Eddie was using to choke Bradshaw.
11:27Yeah, you're right.
11:28And Bradshaw, I see it's a spot.
11:30Eddie throwing Bradshaw back in the ring,
11:32because that's where you're going to win the match.
11:35And now Eddie just talking garbage to him.
11:37Can't blame Eddie, can't blame him.
11:39A right hand by Eddie to Bradshaw.
11:41Bradshaw has not been able to muster any offense in the early going into this matchup.
11:46Whoa.
11:47And Bradshaw again out of the ring.
11:50And again, Eddie, and referee Brian Hefner trying to do his job.
11:54Well, Eddie Guerrero sitting in jail.
11:56Where's Bradshaw going?
11:58Where is he going?
11:59Where's he going?
11:59Bradshaw going to try to squirm his way out of this match as well.
12:02He can't win the title right away.
12:04And Eddie's not going to let him.
12:06Wow, what a running form and a back of the head.
12:09Bradshaw don't know where he is here.
12:11Eddie with another straight right hand.
12:15Eddie Guerrero, Cole, is on his game today, Bill.
12:18I'll tell you, Bradshaw better invest his money, make some money,
12:22and call a plastic surgeon.
12:23He may need one after this match.
12:25He's got the money to afford a plastic surgeon.
12:27Don't worry about that.
12:27There's plenty in New York.
12:28And Bradshaw tossed back in the ring.
12:29See how quickly Eddie got back in the ring, not allowing Bradshaw one moment
12:33to breathe.
12:34Well, hence why he's the WWE champion, Eddie.
12:37He's a thinking man in that ring.
12:38Look at that little babusita right there.
12:40That's a good looking one, Eddie.
12:42Look what he's saying.
12:43Ah, man.
12:44I've been waiting for this.
12:46Well, look right now.
12:47Bam.
12:47Right hand by Eddie.
12:48Dropping Bradshaw with it right here.
12:51Again, again, stalking him, staying on him.
12:54Eddie Guerrero, look at this.
12:56Wow.
12:57Latino heat.
12:59Eddie Guerrero just still stepping on his face.
13:02Come on, Guerrero, is that legal or what?
13:04There's a story with that.
13:05I don't think right now it matters much to Eddie Guerrero what's legal and what isn't.
13:08You're right, you're right.
13:09And Bradshaw tossed through the ropes again.
13:11Eddie on the attack.
13:13I never expected this, Cole.
13:14I never expected right out of the box.
13:16No warming up the bullpen.
13:18Bradshaw to be taken like this by Guerrero.
13:21Again, breaking the count.
13:22Eddie breaks the count.
13:23You saw how fired up Eddie was Thursday night on SmackDown when he got arrested.
13:27I did expect this to be a tapping point.
13:30Bradshaw needed that.
13:32Eddie Guerrero whipped into the steel steps.
13:35And now Bradshaw can catch his breath.
13:37A world of impact there.
13:39Holding that arm, Eddie is.
13:41Hopefully he doesn't have any tingling or numbness in that arm.
13:45Now Bradshaw went in to, of course, save the count.
13:48Bradshaw realizes he can't win the title on a count out.
13:52Bradshaw knee dead in the ring.
13:54And now the chop.
13:55And now the right hand.
13:56Did you see the change in the face?
13:57The change in the look of Bradshaw.
13:59Shifting gears, man.
14:00Bradshaw.
14:01And now Eddie off the unarmed table.
14:03Bounces right into the lap of Hugo and Carlos.
14:05Wow.
14:06Bradshaw.
14:07God, look at this.
14:08Bradshaw.
14:10What is he going to do now?
14:11Eddie Guerrero down and out here.
14:14This is the opening Bradshaw needed.
14:16A right hand to the champion.
14:17Bradshaw wisely goes back into the ring again to break the count.
14:21And now continues the attack.
14:23This is just a straight up physical battle, man.
14:26And Bradshaw's smart.
14:28He asked for the champion back in the ring to win the title.
14:31And he did that.
14:32Well, that's what Eddie did earlier.
14:33Both these guys know it's at stake here.
14:35But here comes the peel heat.
14:36The right hand.
14:37Eddie Guerrero.
14:38Bradshaw.
14:39Here's the reversal.
14:40Eddie ripped off the rope.
14:41Right boot to the face.
14:43What a shot.
14:45What a shot.
14:48The ever confident JBL now.
14:51Feels he got it in the bag.
14:53Here's the cover.
14:54On the champion.
14:55Kick out after two.
14:56I'll tell you.
14:57Bradshaw's stock will go through the roof if he wins this match.
14:59The JBL's gonna be tough to stop now.
15:02And you're right.
15:03The stock will go up.
15:04Not up in my book.
15:06Surprised you haven't invested yet.
15:08Bradshaw right hand to the back of the head of Eddie Guerrero.
15:12Whipped into the corner with authority.
15:14Size difference there.
15:16Guerrero's giving up some size to Bradshaw.
15:18Nice side headlock takedown.
15:20Out of nowhere.
15:21Eddie Guerrero, of course, the quickness.
15:23And as you mentioned, Bradshaw the size.
15:25But again, Eddie.
15:26I'm sorry.
15:27Bradshaw surprising everyone.
15:28Myself and Eddie.
15:29I'm sure with that side headlock takedown out of nowhere.
15:31Very smart by Bradshaw.
15:35People here in Los Angeles get behind Guerrero big time.
15:3818,000 strong.
15:39I don't believe there's one person in here who wants Bradshaw to win the title.
15:43I think everyone here is an Eddie fan.
15:45As the champion, Eddie Guerrero, tries to get out of this predicament.
15:49Eddie Guerrero is caught right now in a side headlock on the mat by a very big and strong
15:55John Bradshaw Layfield.
15:57Bradshaw is all about power.
15:59He's all about strength.
16:01He's somewhat unorthodox in the ring.
16:03Well, he's right now got all his weight on the neck and head of Guerrero.
16:07Bradshaw does.
16:09And Guerrero, you can see he's in pain here with this headlock.
16:13Eddie trying to grab the hair of Bradshaw.
16:15Doing anything he can to get out of this.
16:17The champion may be fading a little bit.
16:19Right hand straight to the gut.
16:21Got some separation from that headlock.
16:23Got out of it.
16:24What a shoulder knocked down by the former football player.
16:26But the size advantage.
16:27Back to the side headlock takedown.
16:29Back into the headlock.
16:31Again, see Bradshaw?
16:32All his body weight on the neck.
16:34You know what that does to you up in there?
16:36It causes you to breathe.
16:37It's tough to breathe.
16:38When a guy leans on your face like that and your neck, all his body weight.
16:42It's tough to breathe.
16:43I'm telling you when you're down on the bottom like that.
16:45Bradshaw really torquing it here.
16:47Torquing that headlock in.
16:49Putting the weight on the head.
16:50And Eddie might be fading.
16:51Guerrero might be fading.
16:54Bradshaw can win the championship if Eddie submits or indeed passes out.
16:59Smart by Bradshaw.
17:00Get on this hold.
17:01Stay on this hold.
17:02And try and wear the champ down.
17:04Eddie Guerrero won the championship back at No Way Out in February.
17:09Successfully defended it at WrestleMania.
17:11Can he hold on to the title here tonight at Judgment Day?
17:15Bradshaw's looking good right now.
17:17Not letting go of his hold.
17:20Listen to this crowd.
17:22And Eddie's smart, though.
17:23Not trying nothing stupid.
17:25He's picking a spot, Cole.
17:27Trying to rake the eyes.
17:28And now a shot to the gut again.
17:30And again, Bradshaw knocks Eddie down.
17:32Up over the top of Guerrero.
17:34An arm drag by Eddie.
17:36And another arm drag.
17:38Bradshaw got out of the way again.
17:40Very quick with those arm drags.
17:41Like Guerrero.
17:42Look at this!
17:43Eddie up over the top.
17:44Cross body.
17:45Caught midair.
17:46Oh my God!
17:47And there's a fall away slam.
17:49Wow.
17:50Right on the floor here.
17:52Don't let that padding fool you, folks.
17:54It's a very slim pad.
17:56Yeah, yes.
17:57And concrete under that pad.
17:59No doubt about it.
18:00And the referee, Brian Hebner, is counting.
18:02He's up to four now.
18:04Both athletes are out there.
18:06Champion and challenger.
18:08Referee Brian Hebner at a count of five.
18:10Bradshaw's getting up to a vertical.
18:12Now at a count of six.
18:14But Bradshaw can't win the title in a count out.
18:16He needs to break the count or get the champion back in the ring.
18:19And that's what Bradshaw did.
18:21He did part A by breaking that count.
18:23Now Guerrero's getting to a vertical base.
18:25Ooh, quick to the belly there.
18:27For Eddie, this is about revenge as well as the title.
18:29For Bradshaw, it's strictly about becoming champion.
18:31Chopped there.
18:33Bam, another chop.
18:35Right into Bradshaw right in front of us here.
18:37Oh, what a shot to the side of the head.
18:39Guerrero's got some muster behind those punches, man.
18:41Watch this.
18:43Eddie Guerrero!
18:45Right off the top of the Spanish announce table.
18:47Wow.
18:49Back first.
18:51Bouncing off that thing like a basketball, Eddie did.
18:53Wow.
18:55Eddie Guerrero off the backdrop.
18:57Look at Guerrero.
18:59Still got the perseverance.
19:01Eddie Guerrero just got back into the ring.
19:03Yeah, but what did it take for Eddie to get up?
19:05He had to break the...
19:07Wow.
19:09Man, he landed hard on that table.
19:11Well, referee Brian Hebner now begins the count at a count of two.
19:13Both men are down as we take another look at this event.
19:16Yeah, just listen to this impact here.
19:18Check it out.
19:20Wow.
19:22Man.
19:24I'm telling you it hurts.
19:26Eddie kidney first into the table.
19:28Eddie's hurting, Cole.
19:30Bradshaw, there's no sign of Bradshaw letting up on him either.
19:32You know that.
19:34Here's the sagging neck breaker by Bradshaw.
19:36And the number one contender, Kurt Angle's Great American.
19:38Into the cover.
19:40Two champs.
19:42Shoulders down.
19:44Two champs.
19:46And Eddie kicked out.
19:48Wow.
19:50That's that pride and heart and guts of Eddie Guerrero.
19:52No doubt.
19:54Eddie's loaded with that.
19:56Loaded with pride and guts.
19:58No doubt.
20:00Both men now leaving it all in the ring.
20:02That's what the WWE Championship's about, man.
20:04Bradshaw with the right hand.
20:06The champion stumbling.
20:08Nice.
20:10This has been a slugfest since the get-go.
20:12Eddie's just...
20:14How's he doing?
20:16He's just coming right back with those big blows.
20:18And now into the midsection.
20:20Bradshaw trying to turn the table.
20:22Eddie hung up on the rope.
20:24Went up over the top and landed, I believe,
20:26on that wrist of that arm.
20:28I think Eddie wanted to try and flip out of it.
20:30Shooting a half.
20:32Here's the cover.
20:34Shoulders down.
20:36Eddie Guerrero just kicked out again.
20:38Eddie was trying to flip out of that backdrop,
20:41but the cover Bradshaw did.
20:43Bradshaw looking at the referee with almost a,
20:45what do I got to do, ref, to keep this champion down?
20:47Come on.
20:49Bradshaw staying in a fight all day.
20:51All day.
20:53And Guerrero's tough, man.
20:55Tough to beat him.
20:57And Bradshaw, a clubbing blow to the back of the neck.
20:59What a shot.
21:01Bradshaw.
21:03Look at this.
21:05A bear hug.
21:07From the side.
21:09I think the strategy for Bradshaw has been
21:11to completely wear the champion down.
21:13Yeah, because I think it's working, Cole.
21:15I mean, you have the size advantage on the man, right?
21:17You are the challenger.
21:19You got nothing that's going there and do that.
21:21And I'll tell you what, like the guy now,
21:23I think Bradshaw's doing the right thing.
21:25And again, the bear hug.
21:27It works the lower back.
21:29It also causes you problems breathing,
21:31much like the headlock did earlier.
21:33You know, I think Bradshaw was smart.
21:35He knew Eddie was going to be full of emotion
21:37Hey, we talked about it earlier.
21:39If Bradshaw survived that initial wave,
21:41that initial attack, he'd have a chance if Bradshaw did that.
21:43Well, let's see.
21:45I mean, it's not over yet.
21:47Eddie Guerrero.
21:49That's cheating.
21:51Hold on, ref.
21:53Cheating, stealing, and he gets it done.
21:55Bradshaw whipped into the corner.
21:57Again, the other side.
21:59Eddie Guerrero sending Bradshaw forward.
22:01Right hand.
22:03He did that because he had momentum going that he did.
22:06The heat is coming.
22:10Bradshaw's hurting here.
22:12Eddie whipped across the ring.
22:14And a dropkick.
22:16What a counter by Eddie.
22:18Great extension in the lower body by Eddie
22:20with that dropkick in midair.
22:22Look at this.
22:24Can Eddie do this?
22:26I think he's going to spin those hips
22:28like we've seen Eddie do so many times.
22:30The three amigos, those three verticals.
22:32Yeah, the triple verticals Eddie going for here.
22:34Look at this.
22:36Big man up three straight times.
22:38Another vertical suplex by Eddie Guerrero.
22:40Can he do it a third time?
22:42Can the champion?
22:44This is conditioning comes into play here.
22:46Put a final blow to Bradshaw here.
22:48I think Guerrero might be able to nail this third one.
22:50Bradshaw with a knee.
22:52Spoke too soon.
22:54I told you it's tough to get three in a man Bradshaw size.
22:56Eddie off the top.
22:58Here comes Bradshaw.
23:00The clothesline from Hellen missed it.
23:02For Eddie, what's this now?
23:04Bradshaw in complete control of the champion.
23:06Fight now. Eddie's fighting now.
23:08Eddie trying to fight now.
23:10He's doing it.
23:12There's the right hand by Eddie.
23:14Off the skull of Bradshaw.
23:16The referee was down.
23:18The referee knocked down inadvertently by the champion.
23:20Eddie was going for the ropes.
23:22The referee just happened to be in the way.
23:24Referee got nailed.
23:26Eddie had a lot of speed in that short sprint.
23:28Look at this.
23:31The referee is down.
23:33He's hurting, man.
23:35Bradshaw is down outside.
23:37Look at Bradshaw.
23:39Eddie trying to wake that ref up.
23:41Bradshaw is down and out.
23:43Outside the ring.
23:45Eddie Guerrero perplexed because the referee has been knocked down.
23:47Eddie did the right thing.
23:49He checked on the ref.
23:51Now it looks like Eddie is going back to his opponent.
23:53The man that you want to take out.
23:55JBL.
23:57Eddie Guerrero the champion.
23:59He just looked over here.
24:01I don't know what the heck he was doing.
24:03Now look at Bradshaw.
24:05Wait a minute.
24:07That's what he's doing.
24:09Bouncing off the announce table.
24:11Eddie Guerrero.
24:13Wait a minute.
24:16Eddie Guerrero.
24:18On this side of the table.
24:20Eddie Guerrero.
24:22Wait a minute.
24:45Okay, we're back on here, we're back.
24:55What a shot, so let's just check this out.
25:02Let's take another look, Bradshaw- Listen to this, listen, my God!
25:08With that steel chair.
25:10That's a gold, Bradshaw's right out there in front of you.
25:17My God!
25:18And Eddie Guerrero, Taz.
25:20Just look at that.
25:21Eddie Guerrero was busted open by Bradshaw in that chair.
25:25Oh my God, I hope he's alright.
25:27He is split open extremely bad.
25:30And a right hand to that cut.
25:34Eddie Guerrero is bleeding like a sieve here.
25:37This is bad, watch out man.
25:40Oh my God.
25:41The champion doesn't know where he is.
25:43The referee is down.
25:45Bradshaw is on the assault.
25:47This is bad, I'm telling you.
25:50And look at Bradshaw.
25:51He goes right here, right to the open wound.
25:54Right to the open wound of Eddie Guerrero.
25:58Eddie's gotta have a concussion, Cole.
26:00It's not just a loss of blood.
26:01He's gotta have a concussion.
26:03Did you?
26:04Look at him, steel steps down.
26:05Oh, the steel steps off that busted up head of the champion.
26:10Oh man, Cole.
26:11I think we're gonna see a new champion here tonight.
26:14And I agree with you.
26:15Bradshaw.
26:16Eddie's back into the ring.
26:17Referee's still down.
26:18The referee is down.
26:20But Bradshaw has wounded the champion.
26:23Well, he made a guarantee.
26:25JBL said it.
26:26I would be victorious.
26:27I'm gonna win this match.
26:29And by God, I think he's right.
26:31Eddie Guerrero, you can barely see his face anymore.
26:35Man, I'll tell you, this is bad.
26:37He's hurt.
26:38Look at this.
26:39Now what?
26:40And Bradshaw is smiling as he delivered a run.
26:43He should be, Cole.
26:44He's only minutes away from winning the WWE Championship.
26:47And now look.
26:48Uh-oh.
26:49He's warming that right arm up.
26:50Here it comes, baby.
26:52Eddie's in trouble, man.
26:53The ring's a mess.
26:55The champion's a mess.
26:57Bradshaw could be seconds away from winning the WWE title.
27:03Bradshaw's singling for it.
27:05He's saying it's coming.
27:07Look at that.
27:08He's done.
27:09Look at that.
27:10Clothesline from hell.
27:11Wow.
27:12Rattling the Staples Center.
27:14But the referee is down.
27:16Bradshaw trying to bring referee Brian Hebner back to life here.
27:20But Brian Hebner's down.
27:22He's another ref or something.
27:24People still chanting Eddie.
27:25It don't matter.
27:26Eddie's out.
27:27Bradshaw panicked here.
27:28Bradshaw knows he has the title won, but there's no referee.
27:32I don't want the pitfalls for the medal, man.
27:34Eddie's knocked out, Cole.
27:36So is the referee.
27:38I know.
27:39And Bradshaw desperately-
27:40I'm frustrated.
27:41I don't blame him.
27:42Well, he is frustrated.
27:43Here's another referee.
27:44Here we go.
27:45Here we go.
27:46One, two.
27:47He's got-
27:48Eddie kicked out.
27:49Eddie kicked out.
27:50Eddie kicked out.
27:52How the hell did he kick out?
27:54Bradshaw cannot believe it.
27:55After a steel chair to the skull, steel steps to the skull,
27:59a clothesline from hell, Eddie Guerrero kicked out.
28:03How much blood has the champion lost, Cole?
28:07A ton of it.
28:09Just look at the ring.
28:10I know that.
28:11But uh-oh.
28:12Bradshaw again.
28:13Not again.
28:14If he hits this, that's the second clothesline from hell.
28:16Eddie will not kick out if he nails this, Cole.
28:19Eddie is covered in blood.
28:22Bradshaw stalking the champion.
28:24Goodbye, Eddie Guerrero.
28:26Clothesline.
28:27Oh, my God.
28:28And knocked out a second referee.
28:30What the-
28:31His body's every-
28:32Oh, my God.
28:33Look at Eddie.
28:34Eddie Guerrero crawling.
28:36How does Eddie Guerrero even have an idea of where he is?
28:38That's a boot to that wounded hand.
28:40I'm not too sure someone shouldn't stop this match.
28:42Look at this.
28:43Oh, powerbomb.
28:45Oh, my God.
28:46Here's the cover.
28:48This is a random champion.
28:49Shoulders down.
28:50Eddie kicked out again.
28:52Eddie did it again.
28:54How did he do it?
28:56How did he do it?
28:58This crowd cheering in near disbelief.
29:02Bradshaw in disbelief.
29:05Here comes the Eddie chance.
29:08But can Eddie come out of this, Cole?
29:11The man is up on the cover.
29:13Here's the cover again.
29:14Here we go.
29:15Champion down.
29:16Champion kicks out again.
29:17Oh, my God.
29:19I can't believe this.
29:21Talk about the heart of a champion.
29:24I think it's more than about the championship for Guerrero, Cole.
29:28Eddie off the ropes.
29:29Here's the sleeper hold.
29:30He'll choke him out.
29:31He's going to choke him out.
29:32All that blood's coming out of his head.
29:34He's going to choke him out.
29:35I was going to say it probably won't take long either.
29:37It won't because the blood's flowing.
29:39The sleeper hold locked in.
29:40Bradshaw could be moments away from forcing Eddie Guerrero to pass out.
29:44It also loses hold on the title.
29:46They should stop this match.
29:47I don't often say that at all, but they should.
29:49Oh, a counter by Eddie.
29:51A counter by Eddie.
29:53Eddie's not going to let him stop it.
29:55Look, oh, my God.
29:58That's very hard to look at.
30:01The champion, Eddie Guerrero crawling.
30:04The challenger, Bradshaw.
30:06Eddie doesn't want this thing to stop, Cole.
30:08I can tell you that.
30:09He doesn't want this match to end.
30:11And Bradshaw making it to his feet as well.
30:14Oof.
30:15This is beyond business.
30:16This is straight up personal here.
30:19Wow, Eddie Guerrero, look at him.
30:22The mat looks like it.
30:25Eddie Guerrero starting to feel it.
30:27Bradshaw can't believe it.
30:29What the hell is the matter with him?
30:31Eddie Guerrero, it's Latino heat.
30:34Here comes the champion.
30:35Here comes Eddie.
30:37How much adrenaline.
30:40Look at this.
30:41Shaking, juking, jiving.
30:43The champion.
30:45Amazing.
30:48Bradshaw whipped across the ring.
30:50Here's the counter.
30:51Eddie Guerrero ducks underneath the clothesline.
30:53Uh-oh.
30:54Oh, man.
30:55That's it.
30:56Uh-oh.
30:57That's it.
30:58Bradshaw with the champion in his arms.
30:59Going on the outside.
31:00Now on the inside.
31:01Uh-oh.
31:02And Eddie countered.
31:03Eddie countered.
31:04DDT by the champion.
31:05Beautiful counter.
31:08Oh, man, where did he get it from?
31:10The champion countered.
31:11That's why he's the champ.
31:13That's why he's defeated Lesnar.
31:15That's why he's defeated Angel.
31:17That's why Eddie Guerrero's in control all of a sudden.
31:20How much heart does this guy have?
31:24Eddie Guerrero trying-
31:25Too damn much heart.
31:26That's how much.
31:27A ton of it.
31:28Wow.
31:29Both men are down.
31:30But did that DDT take everything out of Guerrero?
31:33I don't know, Cole.
31:34I don't know how the man-
31:35What the hell is Eddie Guerrero doing?
31:36How's he getting up?
31:37What is he doing?
31:38Wait a minute.
31:39The question is, did that take anything out of Bradshaw?
31:41Look at Bradshaw.
31:42Look at Eddie.
31:43You're right.
31:44He's on the apron, but no way.
31:45There is absolutely-
31:46He's not going to get-
31:47No way.
31:48Eddie Guerrero is not-
31:49He's not-
31:50He is not going to climb the rope.
31:51No, he's not getting up the-
31:52Eddie Guerrero-
31:53No way, man.
31:54Is going to climb the ropes.
31:55How's his equilibrium?
31:56It's got to be all screwed up.
31:57No way.
31:58Eddie Guerrero's on the top rope.
31:59Frog nose.
32:00And nobody home.
32:01Bradshaw rolled out of the way.
32:02That's got to be it, man.
32:03If Bradshaw could top him and cover him.
32:06What?
32:07The referee begins the count.
32:08Again.
32:09Both men are down.
32:10Look at the ring, Cole.
32:11Yeah, it looks like an art canvas.
32:12Except that's not paint.
32:13That's blood.
32:14Well, it's Guerrero and Bradshaw's canvas for the time being.
32:15Referee's hurting still.
32:16Getting nailed early by Guerrero.
32:17He was hurting.
32:18The other ref got dropped early.
32:19I don't know where he is.
32:20Well, Bradshaw rolled out of the ring.
32:21Where's he going now?
32:22What is he going to do now?
32:23I don't know.
32:24What do you think?
32:25Bradshaw just grabbed the championship.
32:26Bradshaw just grabbed the championship.
32:28Still the champion.
32:29Bradshaw just grabbed the title behind his back.
32:30He's got the chair in his right hand.
32:31Bradshaw can't win the title if he's disqualified.
32:35Cole, you can't win it that way.
32:43No, no, no, no, no.
32:44Bradshaw's got the title behind his back.
32:47He's got the chair in one hand.
32:48Bradshaw can't win the title if he's disqualified.
32:50Don't fully get rid of that one.
32:51Well, Bradshaw just threw a chair in the ring.
32:54Well, the referee spotted it.
32:55I get it, I get it.
32:56I see, I get it.
32:57He's setting up Eddie, he's setting up Eddie.
32:59Title, and Eddie with a low blow, a low blow.
33:03The ref didn't see it.
33:05It backfired on Bradshaw.
33:06But now the ref sees this.
33:07And Eddie with the title in the sky.
33:10Eddie Guerrero has been disqualified.
33:13Wow.
33:15Eddie Guerrero with the title off the skull of Bradshaw.
33:20Wow.
33:21Can't believe this.
33:25And Eddie Guerrero is not through.
33:27Look at this.
33:28The right hand to Bradshaw.
33:30Oh, man.
33:31Eddie Guerrero.
33:33Just a brutal just, forget about the ref and the title.
33:39Relentless right hands by Eddie.
33:42Look at this, just, oh, man.
33:44Ring the bell.
33:45Ring the bell.
33:46Ring the bell.
33:47The bell's still ringing.
33:48It's been ringing that thing all night.
33:51It don't matter.
33:52And another referee, more referees have come into the ring to separate Eddie Guerrero from
33:58John Bradshaw Mayfield.
33:59The winner of this match as a result of a disqualification, John Bradshaw Mayfield.
34:06He doesn't win the title?
34:07No, no, no.
34:08Eddie Guerrero keeps the championship.
34:09But he guaranteed victory, Cole.
34:10He did this.
34:11And he won.
34:12Wait a minute.
34:13Eddie Guerrero.
34:14Title in hand.
34:15Get off the skull of Bradshaw.
34:16Damn.
34:17Wow.
34:18Look at Eddie.
34:19I can't even say anything.
34:20And he covered in his own blood.
34:21I never seen anyone bleed this amount.
34:22And again, the title going to the skull.
34:23Man, I tell you.
34:24I can't believe this.
34:25Eddie Guerrero.
34:26Eddie Guerrero.
34:27Eddie Guerrero.
34:28Eddie Guerrero.
34:29Eddie Guerrero.
34:30Eddie Guerrero.
34:31Eddie Guerrero.
34:32Eddie Guerrero.
34:33Eddie Guerrero.
34:34Eddie Guerrero.
34:35Eddie Guerrero.
34:36Eddie Guerrero.
34:37I gotta feel Guerrero's just starting up, Cole.
34:38Bradshaw.
34:39Bradshaw.
34:40You don't know where he is.
34:41Bradshaw's just busted open.
34:42As well, with those number of shots from the title.
34:43He got cracked in the head with the championship.
34:44Where's Eddie going?
34:45I have no idea where he's going.
34:46Bradshaw out of the ring.
34:47Eddie here at ringside.
34:48Oh, my God.
34:49Eddie's got a steel chair in hand.
34:50The referees are pleading with Eddie Guerrero to put the chair down.
34:51Uh-oh.
34:52Oh, my God.
34:53Off the skull.
34:54Uh-oh.
34:55Uh-oh.
34:56Uh-oh.
34:57Uh-oh.
34:58Uh-oh.
34:59Uh-oh.
35:00Uh-oh.
35:01Uh-oh.
35:02Uh-oh.
35:03Uh-oh.
35:04Uh-oh.
35:05Uh-oh.
35:06Uh-oh.
35:07Uh-oh.
35:08Uh-oh.
35:09Uh-oh.
35:10Uh-oh.
35:11Uh-oh.
35:12Uh-oh.
35:13Uh-oh.
35:14How I'm going to pose here, Cole?
35:16Uh-oh.
35:17Uh-oh.
35:18Uh-oh.
35:19Uh-oh.
35:20Uh-oh.
35:21Uh-oh.
35:22Oh, my God.
35:23Uh-oh, clerks.
35:24Oh, my God.
35:25Oh, my God.
35:26Uh-oh.
35:27Uh-oh.
35:28The skull of Bradshaw.
35:29Wow.
35:30His skull would bounce that way.
35:31Okay.
35:32Oh, man.
35:33It was Bradshaw who brought the title into the ring and tried to use it.
35:38Eddie Guerrero ended up using it.
35:40Eddie Guerrero let the referee on the show Eddie do it, but
35:43now Guerrero's on the hunt.
35:44Look at this, look at this.
35:45And Bradshaw pleading, Bradshaw on his hands and knees, begging the champion.
35:51I don't think that's gonna help JBL.
35:53Boom, what a shot to the skull.
35:57God almighty, what a shot.
36:01I'll tell you, Eddie Guerrero to the apron.
36:04What a fight.
36:05This has been some fight.
36:07A hell of a fight, it ain't over yet, Cole.
36:10Eddie Guerrero on the top rope.
36:12It's not over.
36:14Look at this.
36:16Eddie Guerrero.
36:17My God, what does he get the strength to do?
36:19Frog Splash.
36:21Man.
36:26I can't believe what we witnessed here.
36:28What a fight.
36:31A down out fight, a brawl, a bloody brutal battle.
36:35A fight full of intensity.
36:38I have to admit, this is what I was worried about.
36:41That emotional build up that Eddie, finally exploding here tonight.
36:46I'll tell you what, Cole, we saw, we've seen a hell of a fight here tonight.
36:50A hell of a fight.
36:52Bradshaw backing off, crawling away like a coward from the champion.
36:57I'll live to fight another day, Cole.
37:00Man, man.
37:01And now he's knocked through.
37:03Eddie Guerrero.
37:04What the?
37:04No, no, no, no, no, no.
37:05He's going down for Bradshaw.
37:07Salty Bradshaw.
37:09Eddie Guerrero, take the promotions.
37:11Eddie, Eddie, come on, Eddie.
37:13We gotta get a little help out here.
37:15You need to get up on the top.
37:17What is going on?
37:18The champion attacking, assaulting Bradshaw.
37:22Pure hatred, pure hatred.
37:25Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
37:27And Eddie the jaw's on life to pull Eddie Guerrero off of Bradshaw.
37:31Or half the locker room.
37:32No doubt.
37:32Pulling the champion away, trying to calm Eddie Guerrero down.
37:36And Bradshaw crawling away.
37:38Yeah, yeah, he's literally crawling back.
37:40Yeah, kind of like a roach.
37:42Wow.
37:43Man, oh man.
37:45This was unbelievable.
37:46And now the Eddie chance for the champion.
37:50Eddie Guerrero.
37:51Bradshaw champion.
37:52Wow.
37:55Talk about a guy with heart, man.
37:58What a fight we've seen tonight at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
38:05And Eddie's still the champion, Cole.
38:07But he lost, and then Bradshaw gets his victory.
38:10But Eddie still champ.
38:11The heart of a champion.
38:13The emotions of Eddie Guerrero boiling over tonight.
38:18This is an uphill battle for Eddie Guerrero.
38:20But somehow, Cole, he's still the champion.
38:23Eddie Guerrero took the fight to the challenger, Bradshaw, tonight.
38:29Eddie Guerrero, the WWE champion.
38:33Yeah, what a hell of a champion.
38:35Thank you for joining us on what hell of a Judgment Day.
