00:00But still to come tonight, we have a Wrestlemania quality main event.
00:04Can The Phenom, The Undertaker, dethrone the ECW World Heavyweight Champion, The Big Show?
00:11We'll find out tonight.
00:14The Big Show has just been wrecking human bodies.
00:18Hey, Joey, let me tell you something.
00:19If you are unlucky enough to be trapped, trapped with this extreme giant,
00:24the ECW Champion, you will or have been or get dismantled.
00:29Big Show's been on a down, flat out.
00:32The way he flings Tommy Dreamer with 265 pounds.
00:35But the thing about Big Show is, you're watching him on television.
00:38It does not do the size of The Big Show justice.
00:42He is massive.
00:43He is massive.
00:44The Big Show has unlimited power at his disposal.
00:49And you gotta wonder, what the hell will it take for somebody,
00:53anybody, to dethrone The Big Show as the ECW World Heavyweight Champion?
00:58I mean, we saw that Ric Flair under extreme rules could do it.
01:01This was last week.
01:02This ECW Champion, The Big Show's first title defense against the one and
01:07only Ric Flair.
01:10Thumbtacks, hard core to the bone, extreme rules.
01:13Big Show was victorious.
01:15Who the hell's gonna stop the champ?
01:17And just when you think you can't outdo yourself by
01:23bloodying a future Hall of Famer like Ric Flair,
01:29The Big Show challenges The Phenom, The Undertaker,
01:34to come here to ECW for the first time and
01:36try to take the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.
01:40I mean, that's unbelievable.
01:42Absolutely.
01:42The following contest scheduled for one fall is for
01:47the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.
01:52Introducing first, standing at seven feet tall,
01:57weighing 507 pounds, is the current ECW World Heavyweight Champion,
02:03The Big Show.
02:05The Big Show challenged The Undertaker to come here to ECW and
02:10try to take his championship.
02:13Now, will The Undertaker do it?
02:16We'll find out, we'll find out next.
02:19Welcome back to ECW, The Big Show challenged The Undertaker to come
02:24take his ECW championship here.
02:27Uh-oh, here we go.
02:29And introducing the challenger,
02:34from Death Valley, weighing 307 pounds,
02:39is the current ECW World Heavyweight Champion, The Undertaker.
02:44And introducing the challenger,
02:48from Death Valley, weighing 305 pounds,
02:53The Undertaker.
03:07And Saturday night's main event, The Big Show and The Great Khali.
03:13Through a vicious, massive, gigantic double team chokeslam on The Undertaker.
03:20And afterwards, The Big Show told Undertaker, you want payback?
03:23Come get it on ECW.
03:28Talk about a historic match, guys.
03:30The Undertaker in ECW.
03:35Hey, I never thought I'd see that happen.
03:38But it's gonna happen right now.
03:40The Big Show, the champ, the challenger, the dead man.
03:43I've got goosebumps, baby.
03:47You know, not for nothing, I've never known The Undertaker not to accept a challenge.
03:54And that's why he's here, Joey.
03:56This is gonna be like war in a gigantic way here, man.
04:00I'm telling you.
04:02This is The Undertaker's first match.
04:04It's being manhandled by The Great Khali and Judgment Day.
04:08It's been so many weeks since The Undertaker's been in a match.
04:13We gotta wonder, you know, his physical condition and ring rust.
04:16I don't know, but...
04:18The dead man is here, baby.
04:20In Technicolor.
04:22Gotta wonder if ring rust affects somebody as unique as The Undertaker.
04:27I don't think so. Maybe not.
04:38Big Show looks fired up and ready to go as well.
04:40He better be. Our champion better be.
04:43And Big Show, you're right. Your point is amped up.
04:48Well, think about this. The Big Show, as champion, has been challenging future Hall of Famers to come get a piece of him here at ECW.
04:55From a psychological standpoint, The Undertaker, just on his bone-chilling entrance his way out to the ring,
05:01can make you into a big, yellow mass of nerves and freak you out before he even touches you.
05:08And that's what it's all about. The ECW World Title.
05:15This is big, Joey. This is by far the biggest match we've had since we were on SyFy here at ECW.
05:21This is a WrestleMania-quality main event. We're seeing it right here at ECW for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.
05:29I'll tell you what, if anybody belongs on SyFy, he may be a guest, but he is The Undertaker.
05:38And again, so does The Big Show.
05:44Big match feel here, hence why it is a big match. Here we go!
05:50The seven-foot-tall champion, The Big Show, the six-foot, ten-and-a-half-inch Undertaker, the challenger.
05:56Oh, man!
05:59We gotta realize, too, Joe, look at that, look at that.
06:02Awesome, the vicious offense by The Big Show.
06:06The Big Show hammering away, utilizing those massive fists.
06:10Taz, you've been in the ring with both these men. I can't imagine what it's like to get punched in the skull by The Big Show.
06:15I don't remember it, because it hurt a lot.
06:17And now here comes The Undertaker, who just this coming Sunday will be in the ring with another giant.
06:25And in Cali, you gotta wonder the thought process by The Undertaker, not being in the ring for so many weeks,
06:32and he's in there with the ECW World Champion.
06:36Well, as you said, The Undertaker, you've never known him to back down from any challenge.
06:39It was The Big Show who laid out the challenge on Saturday night's main event.
06:42The Undertaker didn't say no. Here he is again.
06:48And The Undertaker, one of the most prolific strikers in the history of sports entertainment, trading blows with The Big Show.
06:55Oh, and punch for punch! Oh, my God!
06:59Oh, my God! What's it like getting headbutted by The Big Show?
07:03Gotta be like getting hit in the head by, like, a car or something, or a helicopter or something.
07:07Guy's massive, freak-like.
07:10And as big as Undertaker moves!
07:12Oh, man! God!
07:14Watch out! Look out! Here comes The Undertaker!
07:17Did you hear that?
07:19How could you not? And he's not down. I can't believe he's up, Big Show, still!
07:24Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Uh-oh!
07:26Oh, man!
07:28Big Show responds with a huge boot of his own.
07:31Just goes to show you that The Phenom, The Undertaker, has trouble getting The Big Show down to even one knee.
07:38Check this out. Look at that. Dropping, dropping The Undertaker like it was nothing.
07:43Watch out!
07:45Undertaker lands on his feet. The ECW Championship is on the line.
07:49Can The Undertaker defeat Big Show? We'll find out when ECW continues.
07:58We're back here on ECW! Look at this!
08:02We've got The Undertaker challenging The Big Show!
08:05Oh, God!
08:06The ECW World Title is on the line!
08:09And The Undertaker, The Undertaker just snapped back The Big Show.
08:14Let's take a look at what happened during the break.
08:16Yeah, Undertaker was not in a good way by any means.
08:19Lower back, spine first into that steel post.
08:22But somehow, someway, Big Show's down.
08:25He's on a knee, Joe. Look at this!
08:27Oh! But just like that, even from one knee,
08:30The Big Show has enough girth, enough strength, enough mass to lay out The Undertaker.
08:35Here we go, here we go, here we go!
08:36The champion's on top! Two knees on top!
08:38Oh, that was close. Very close.
08:41You know, Big Show's so explosive from any part of that mass.
08:45Just check this out. Watch the explosiveness from one knee.
08:49Bam! Right in the abdomen.
08:51That's truly amazing to generate that type of impact from one knee
08:56without having both legs underneath you.
08:58It's volumes about the strength, the unlimited power of The Big Show.
09:02And you hear the people here screaming for Taker, Taker, Taker!
09:07And he's coming with it!
09:09Undertaker now opening up, trying to chop down The Big Show.
09:13Oh, what a headbutt!
09:15Oh man, that might have hurt Undertaker more than Big Show.
09:17Oh!
09:19And The Big Show capitalized just like that.
09:22But as we've seen in all of Big Show's matches,
09:25The Big Show has been manhandling The Undertaker.
09:27What's it say about the size of The Big Show
09:29that he can continuously drop the 6'10", 305-pound phenom, The Undertaker?
09:35And let's realize, just last week,
09:37that brutal, extreme rules match.
09:39What Rick Flair, the Nature Boy,
09:41and how violent and vicious that was.
09:43You gotta wonder what condition shows him.
09:46And Undertaker's taking on back-to-back giants tonight here on ECW.
09:49He's got The Big Show this Sunday at the Great American Bash.
09:51He's got The Great Khali!
09:53Oh, watch out here.
09:55This is not good.
09:57Uh-oh, uh-oh.
09:59Oh my God!
10:01Wow, Skull first, right into the steel steps.
10:04And when steel meets skull,
10:06skull is never gonna get the better of that exchange.
10:11Big Show rolls back in simply to break up the count.
10:13He doesn't want to count out victory.
10:15Undertaker took advantage and launches himself.
10:18Undertaker just keeps coming at The Big Show.
10:21Oh, well, I don't know, man.
10:23Undertaker bought himself some time with both of those elbows.
10:25But you gotta watch the count out here.
10:27Referee's up to 300.
10:29Uh-oh.
10:31Oh, we've seen this.
10:33We've seen this.
10:35Big Show's in trouble, Joe.
10:37Watch out!
10:39Undertaker trying to isolate the skull of The Big Show.
10:42And then what a boot!
10:46Hey, look, I don't care how big you are,
10:48you can hit the beaner.
10:51No matter how heavy and tall and strong you are,
10:53now popping that knee,
10:55kicking in front of that patella,
10:57going to work on the big redwood.
10:59Very smart by The Undertaker.
11:01And Big Show, to his credit, knows the game plan.
11:03And one big blow just fell to The Undertaker.
11:06One blow. That's how strong the...
11:08You know, if The Big Show didn't have a 25-inch neck,
11:10that boot on the outside by The Undertaker
11:12may have knocked him out.
11:14The knee, the knee!
11:16He's trying to get a leg ball or something, Undertaker.
11:18He tripped him up with that knee.
11:20Undertaker looking to make The Big Show tap.
11:23It's not often that you see Undertaker
11:25have to bring someone down to size.
11:27He's doing it now, though.
11:29Undertaker's doing it, bringing down The Big Show.
11:33Big Show, with all the strength and the weight
11:35that he has made, just trying to pull him down.
11:37And it's well... Let me interrupt you. I'm sorry.
11:39It's well documented that The Undertaker
11:41is well-versed in submission.
11:43He's got a plethora of submission holds.
11:46The problem is The Big Show being seven feet tall.
11:48No matter how you lay him on the canvas,
11:50he's always just inches away from grabbing one of the ropes.
11:52Yeah, but there's more body to grab.
11:54It almost makes it easier to...
11:56To hook a submission.
11:58You've got a lot of meat to grab
12:00with those big limbs that The Big Show has.
12:04And The Big Show going back to doing what he does best,
12:06just exploiting his size and strength advantage
12:08and just pounding atop The Undertaker's head
12:10like it was a railroad spike.
12:13The Undertaker's in a bad way here.
12:16But listen to these fans, Taz.
12:18As you just pointed out, they're chanting,
12:20Take her! Take her! Take her!
12:22The Big Show's a little distracted by
12:24the champions in control here.
12:26Undertaker is to a vertical base.
12:28Oh, whoa! Nice!
12:30And The Undertaker
12:32doing the unthinkable trading blows
12:34with The Big Show.
12:36The Big Show just open-hand
12:38like swatting Undertaker.
12:40Uppercut by The Deadman.
12:42Punch for punch here. Oh, wait a minute.
12:44Oh, too soon. Here comes Deadman.
12:46Here comes Taker.
12:48And he's been able to back The Big Show
12:50up into the corner as the challenger,
12:52The Phenom, The Undertaker.
12:54Oh, wait a minute.
12:56Wait a minute. No. He's doozled.
12:58Undertaker's doozled Big Show.
13:00Does The Undertaker
13:02have the strength to chokeslam
13:04the 507-pound champion?
13:06Easy now. Intimidation by The Undertaker.
13:08Oh, right in the gut.
13:10Oh, man.
13:12Big Show capitalized on the distraction.
13:14Oh, no.
13:16Watch out!
13:18Great timing by The Undertaker.
13:20Went for a chop block.
13:22And got all that
13:24kick behind the knee as well.
13:26Watch out!
13:28The Undertaker takes down The Big Show.
13:30The champion down.
13:32Undertaker on top.
13:34Wow.
13:36That was pretty close.
13:38What resilience being shown
13:40by the ECW world champion.
13:44But the challenger, The Deadman,
13:46he's got some big...
13:48Here he comes!
13:50Oh, man.
13:52Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute.
13:56Deadman going a little old school here.
13:58Oh, right now.
14:00What a shot to the ribs.
14:02The Big Show had the old school well scouted.
14:04Bam. What a punch.
14:06Look at how big those blows are.
14:08Another headbutt.
14:10That has got to be like
14:12getting smacked in the face with an anvil.
14:14No, no, no. Be careful here.
14:16Look at this. This is massive.
14:18Oh, no!
14:20That is 800 pounds up on a turnbuckle.
14:22Nothing good can happen from this.
14:24Oh, my God!
14:26Oh, my Lord.
14:30Did our announce table actually just move underneath us?
14:34Oh, my God.
14:36Big Chuck. That's 800 pounds.
14:38Wait a minute. Big Show on top, too.
14:42Uh-oh.
14:46Let me get this straight.
14:48After a superplex from a 500-plus pound man,
14:50The Undertaker sits up?
14:52Oh, here we go.
14:54Can he do it? Can The Deadman
14:56hit a chokeslam?
14:58Uh-oh!
15:00Can The Big Show hit a chokeslam?
15:02Who's going up?
15:04Not no more, we don't.
15:06Nice back elbow.
15:08Breaks up.
15:10Uh-oh.
15:12Take us down here.
15:14Big Show, whenever he's in trouble,
15:16goes for that unbelievable massive headbutt.
15:18Big Show's been keeping the pressure
15:20on The Undertaker.
15:22What has he got?
15:24That choke, that sleeper.
15:26It's the biggest sleeper in the history
15:28of the business.
15:30Take us trying to get out.
15:32What the hell's this?
15:34Taker's doing anything he can to get free.
15:36What the hell's Taker's going to...
15:38Whoa, whoa, whoa, look at this.
15:40Taker going.
15:42Oh, my God.
15:44The Undertaker counters the biggest sleeper
15:46in the business and goes old school.
15:48Look at that boot.
15:50Knocking The Big Show out of the ring.
15:52Are you kidding?
15:54Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
15:56What the hell is he doing here?
15:58The Great Khali.
16:00The Great Khali.
16:02We saw with Khali and The Big Show
16:04that The Undertaker generates main event,
16:06and here we go.
16:08You're not kidding. Here we go.
16:10We got a preview of the Great American Bash.
16:12Oh, face first with Khali.
16:14Shocking.
16:16Oh, man.
16:18But now The Undertaker is facing...
16:20These two giant redwoods are stalking The Undertaker,
16:22and he's still fighting back The Deadman.
16:24Watch out.
16:26Oh, jeez.
16:28The Undertaker swinging at everything that moves.
16:30You're not kidding.
16:32Oh, my God almighty.
16:34You kidding me?
16:36Watch out, Joey.
16:38I'm telling you.
16:42The Undertaker now finds himself
16:44on top of fighting two giants.
16:46What the hell
16:48is gonna happen here?
16:50Oh, my God.
16:52Oh, my God.
16:54Oh, God almighty.
16:58Oh, my God.
17:02Oh, my God.
17:04Oh, my God.
17:06Oh, my God.
17:08Oh, my God.
17:10Oh, my God.
17:12Oh, my God.
17:14Oh, my God.
17:16The Undertaker may be broken in half.
17:18The Undertaker's gotta play
17:20divine and cognitive with these two giants.
17:22We know The Undertaker has Khali
17:24at The Great American Bash.
17:26What condition will The Deadman be
17:28when he faces The Great Khali?
17:30How can The Undertaker
17:32come back from this?
17:36Can anybody come back
17:38from this?
17:40The Undertaker has been
17:42driven to hell by the giants.
