00:00You're livin' off my stretch, rollin'
00:11Nothing but the money
00:15The following contest is scheduled for one fall
00:20On the way to the ring, from Miami, Florida
00:24Weighing in at 257 pounds, Orlando Jordan
00:36And the opponent, from St. Louis, Missouri
00:40Weighing in at 245 pounds, Randy Orton
00:46This sold out crowd is on its feet here in St. Louis, Missouri
00:49Michael Cole, here with Tazz at ringside
00:51I'll tell you Cole, these WWE fans are so fired up
00:54I'm having a hard time staying in my seat
00:56I'm with you on that, partner
00:57You've got a great show here tonight for these St. Louis fans
00:59And I can't wait to get started
01:01He was one step ahead on that one
01:06I don't think the fans like that one too much
01:08Look how short a break this guy's on
01:10It should
01:11These fans are the lifeblood of WWE
01:13And he doesn't give a damn what they think
01:22I can't deny that the legend, watch it, he reversed it
01:32Watching these superstars go at it reminds me
01:34Why I prefer to stay on this side of the announce table
01:37Aw, come on Cole
01:38You know, you should let me train you
01:40You could be Cruiserweight Champion in like a year
01:42Oh no, I've heard stories about the way you train people
01:45You make marine drill instructors look like pushovers
01:47Duh, they're just training people to go to war
01:50I train in the WWE Superstar
01:52Well, thanks but no thanks, partner
01:54I think I'll stick to announcing for now
01:59Nice quick counter
02:07I gotta tell you, I didn't expect these guys
02:09To go off on each other the way they have tonight
02:12This has been brutal this match so far
02:14Well Taz, it's not ballet, you know
02:16Oh really, Cole?
02:17Gee, here I was wondering what happened
02:19To the funky toe shoes and the frilly little skirts
02:22You know what, maybe I should go check your closet
02:31That reversal might stop his opponent's momentum today
02:34I think he's gonna fly, Cole
02:42Feel like a real jerk when somebody counters you like that
02:48Man, I can't tell you how impressed I am
02:50With what I've seen here tonight so far
02:52How could you not be impressed, Taz?
02:54These are some of the greatest superstars in the world
02:56Doing what they do best
02:58Hey, slow down, girl pants
03:00I went into this expecting you to do that
03:02I'm just saying, it's even better than I thought it would be
03:05I know exactly what you mean
03:07These superstars certainly are pulling out all the stops
03:12Here it comes, look out!
03:15Here it comes, look out!
03:16Oh man, many a superstar has fallen prey to that finishing maneuver
03:27These superstars are so unpredictable
03:30I'm having a hard time figuring out what they're going to do next
03:33Don't bother, Cole
03:34I don't think you're gonna be able to
03:35Just sit back and enjoy the ride
03:37And what a wild ride it's been so far
03:40With no sign of stopping anytime soon
03:44A textbook reversal
03:46Can he follow up?
03:54Orlando Jordan does everything it takes to be a great competitor
03:57Except good judgment about who he
03:59Look at him go!
04:00Wow!
04:01What an RKO!
04:02He can taunt all he wants, Cole
04:04But once he's lost a match
04:06This guy's gonna wish that he spent more time going after his opponent
04:09I think you're wrong about that, Taz
04:11I think this is going to make his victory tonight that much sweeter
04:21This is one hell of a performance by some amazing superstars, Cole
04:25What did you expect, Taz?
04:26This is SmackDown, after all
04:28The number one brand in sports entertainment
04:38And it's match and match
04:40Man, this match is so good
04:41It's even worth sitting next to you to watch it, Cole
04:44Thanks a lot, Taz
04:45You know, you're not always my number one choice for a broadcast partner, are you?
04:49You know what you should do, Girl Pants?
04:50You should...
04:51Oh my! There's the submission hold!
04:53He's in the driver's seat now!
04:54No doubt, Cole
04:55If your opponent lets you lock that in
04:57It usually means that they ain't got much left
05:05What a reversal!
05:10I'll tell you, Cole
05:11This is what the WWE is all about
05:14You're absolutely right, Taz
05:16The greatest athletes in the world
05:18Competing on the grandest stage of them all
05:22Rope break! Rope break!
05:23What a deadly submission hold this is!
05:25We might see a tap out right here
05:26Well, it surprised me one bit
05:28The longer you stay in this
05:29The more risk you have for serious injury
05:33Orlando's got some real impressive physical gifts, Cole
05:37He's a big dude
05:38He's quick as heck
05:39And you know what?
05:40He's got friends in high places
05:42But he's still so...
05:43He anticipated that move perfectly!
05:52He's got a good grip
05:53He's got a good grip
05:54He's got a good grip
05:55He's got a good grip
05:56He's got a good grip
05:57He's got a good grip
05:58He's got a good grip
05:59He's got a good grip
06:00He's got a good grip
06:02I don't think anyone in this match has even considered
06:05That they might not walk out the winner
06:07I'm sure they haven't, Cole
06:09That's the kind of attitude that gets you beat quicker than anything
06:12He's going for the pin!
06:13This could be it!
06:22These superstars are putting on a clinic in there
06:24Yeah, and not a health clinic
06:26I don't think they'll be the same after this one
06:32I've seen matches won and lost because of moves like this
06:36He can finish the move right here!
06:44He dodged that bullet!
06:52I don't know, Cole
06:53I'm kind of unsure about Ray Lior
06:55Going up the turnbuckle hurts a heck of a lot less than coming down
06:59A heck of a lot less than coming down from the turnbuckle
07:09What a counter that was!
07:18When you see this level of competition, Cole
07:20There is no doubt that SmackDown's just head and shoulders better than Raw
07:25I couldn't agree more, Taz
07:27Raw has some incredible superstars, no question about it
07:30But they just can't compete with SmackDown's finest
07:34Come on, Cole
07:35I know you're just trying to be diplomatic
07:37But you can't seriously sit there and say
07:39That there's anyone on the Raw roster you'd want to have here on SmackDown
07:43No, I'm 100% serious, Taz
07:46Can you imagine having Triple H or Batista or Chris Jericho on Friday nights?
07:52That could take SmackDown to the next level
07:57These superstars have proven time and again
07:59That they're willing and able to go the distance
08:03Well, you don't go too far in this business if you're not, Cole
08:06That's for sure, partner
08:08There's always someone right behind you
08:10Ready to overtake you if you can't keep up
08:21I don't know, Cole
08:22I'm kind of unsure about Ray Lior
08:24I mean, he's a pretty boy
08:25Let's face it, that was a textbook reversal
08:30He could pin his opponent right here
08:32He saw that one coming
08:43It's crazy to think we actually get paid to do a job like this
08:47There's thousands of people out there who would do this for free
08:51Really?
08:52Maybe I should look into that
08:55I could get a better broadcast partner
08:57And save the company some money at the same time
09:00Keep it up, Cole
09:02Keep it up
09:03We're going to find out how tough this job really is
09:05When your jaw gets wide shut
09:16Man, look at these superstars
09:18You can't ask for a better example of what makes SmackDown so great
09:22You sure can
09:23SmackDown's got the greatest superstars
09:25And the greatest matches
09:27For the greatest fans in all of sports entertainment
09:30And there's the reversal
09:41A pride in the hearts of these competitors
09:43Might be the only thing that's keeping them going
09:47And pride's a powerful emotion
09:50But when you just played one out of gas
09:52There's nothing in the world that can keep you going
09:54Well, it doesn't look like they're running on empty quite yet
09:57But you never know when that could change
10:08Can you believe this match so far, Cole?
10:10I really can't, Taz
10:11This isn't anything like what I expected from these competitors
10:15Yeah, I gotta admit
10:16They're surprising the hell out of me here too
10:18And I think it's that unpredictability
10:21That makes these superstars so exciting to watch
10:26Look at this
10:27Could it be?
10:28You're damn right it is, Cole
10:30And that's a heck of a finisher right there
10:32He's three seconds away from a win
10:34One, two, three
10:36And that's it
10:37It's over
10:38Look at this one
10:41Well, that's a three count
10:42That's all she wrote
10:43That certainly was a decisive victory
10:45Here's your winner
10:47No room for ambiguity
10:49What are you talking about?
