Transcript
00:00and Randy Orton again and now Randy Orton with Gunther up and down out of the steps
00:06Gunther tried his best to block that pick up from Randy knowing full well the spine of Randy is hurt
00:14but Randy just deadly muscled him up
00:19no give whatsoever in steel
00:24and Orton's got to get the ring general in the ring
00:30Randy trying to figure out what do I do now
00:38I dropped this guy in a step to the spine
00:41he's still crawling around
01:01both men's bodies savaged
01:03and if Orton has anything to do with it it's going to get a lot lot worse for Gunther
01:09Gunther trying to get away from Orton rolled under the bottom rope and what that take was
01:15forced Charles Robinson to stop the count Wade
01:18so Gunther inadvertently may have hurt himself there
01:22he could have picked up a count out win and kept the title but
01:25I think just to get out of harm's way he rolled back into the ring and it forced Charles to break the count
01:29which is a problem at this point in a matchup
01:32you don't have all your mental faculties right now
01:34you're not thinking clearly
