Yeah.
>> Speaker 1: Right in the eyeball.
>> Speaker 1: Right in the eye.
>> Speaker 1: Point of the toe, in the eyeball.
[MUSIC]
>> Hello, everybody, my name is Kevin Owens.
This is Sami Zayn, and we're about to watch back our match from Payback 2016.
You had a little clever thing you just said.
What was it?
This is- You're watching Payback of our match from Payback.
>> Speaker 1: It would have been nice.
>> 2016. >> I said Payback of Payback would
have been.
>> Yeah, it was better before we were rolling.
>> Speaker 1: Anyway, I beat him in the match, so I'm looking forward to watching.
>> You won this one?
>> Speaker 1: I sure did, as most of our matches.
>> Speaker 1: I'm thinking of Battleground.
>> Speaker 1: That's right, but we're not watching Battleground.
We're watching Payback. >> Speaker 1: Well, we'll
watch it later, though.
>> Speaker 1: Nobody needs to watch Battleground.
Let's watch PayBack.
[MUSIC]
That's my music.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah.
>> Speaker 1: Here I come.
>> Speaker 1: You've maintained more or less the same look for your entire run.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, beard's a little longer.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah.
>> Speaker 1: Guts a little smaller these days.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, you were bigger here.
>> Speaker 1: I was. >> Look about the same to me.
>> Speaker 1: 237 right now, I was at least 270 at there.
>> Speaker 1: I know, I'm a bad gage.
>> Speaker 1: You're a psycho.
>> Speaker 1: Remember when we wrestled once in Ring of Honor?
You said it was the heaviest you'd ever been.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, 291.
>> Speaker 1: I had no idea.
>> Speaker 1: [LAUGH] I'm just around you too much.
>> Speaker 1: You always appear about the same.
They liked you here.
You were a baddie but they liked you.
>> A baddie?
>> Speaker 1: You're a baddie.
>> Speaker 1: Different opinions, right?
I think I was a good guy.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't know if you were presented as such.
>> Speaker 1: I was presenting myself.
>> Speaker 1: If I recall, you do some pretty dastardly things in this match.
To be honest, I don't remember this match very well.
Because I remember the Battleground one more, but I think-
>> Cuz you won that one.
>> Speaker 1: Maybe that's why.
>> Speaker 1: I remember Payback well cuz I beat you.
>> [LAUGH] Well- >> This was your cab driver era.
>> Speaker 1: Why cab driver?
Cuz of the hat?
>> But also the checkered reminds me of a taxicab.
>> Speaker 1: Well, it's a scoff thing.
>> Speaker 1: And the jacket.
>> Speaker 1: Healthy shoulder, I was pretty good at that.
Were you about to say that?
>> Speaker 1: No. >> Speaker 1: Great chest definition.
>> Speaker 1: That is not what I was gonna say.
You're Jizzak.
>> Speaker 1: Look at that haircut.
I don't know if I've ever had a fade like that very long in my life.
>> Speaker 1: You look way better then.
You got to get back to that hair.
>> Speaker 1: Kevin is personally,
he's the only person personally offended by my hair.
>> Your wife, your wife doesn't like it.
>> Speaker 1: She doesn't love it, but you take it like an insult.
You're so angry about it [LAUGH] and you won't let it go.
It's been years.
>> I'm supposed to be your tag team partner.
That is a higher fade than usual time.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, right?
>> Look at my beard.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah. >> Speaker 1: So spotty.
>> Speaker 1: I guess this seems like just the other day, but that is what,
six years ago?
>> Speaker 1: 2016.
>> Speaker 1: Wow, it's a long time.
Boom, off to the races.
>> Speaker 1: That was unnecessary.
I'm just trying to talk when you punch me right in the face.
>> Speaker 1: We're going right off the bat.
The fans love when we do that one.
Man, we're really going.
We're really going. >> It's called a hockey fight, man.
Nobody can do it.
>> Speaker 1: I really tag you.
No, I know, people have stolen it a lot.
Boy, we started hot, boom.
>> Speaker 1: God, why'd you do that to me?
That's terrible. >> Speaker 1: Right elevation.
>> Speaker 1: Scared out of those guys when you smash that table.
>> Speaker 1: And ripped it off, that's fire, baby.
>> Speaker 1: There's a lot of announce tables.
Look at that, Spanish announced table.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I haven't seen three in a while.
>> Speaker 1: We haven't seen three in years.
Shoot me, I reversed.
No, you reversed me.
>> Speaker 1: See, I don't remember.
>> Speaker 1: Whoa, what a swerve.
You're keeping them on my toes is what you're doing.
>> Man, they really seem really into it.
>> Speaker 1: Hangman, take that.
>> Speaker 1: You call it hangman or hotshot?
>> Whatever, no, hotshot is when you lift the guy.
>> Speaker 1: Well, I haven't thrown that in a long while.
>> A leg lariat?
>> To protect with the cartilage in my knees.
>> Speaker 1: It was mediocre at best, anyway.
>> That one, that was pretty good.
Had some whip on you.
>> Speaker 1: They were generally mediocre.
>> Speaker 1: Really all over you here.
>> Just give it time.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, [LAUGH] yeah, hell of a ride.
>> Jeez. >> I think I remember tagging you with
that one pretty good.
>> Speaker 1: You tag me with all of them.
>> Speaker 1: I do tag those, yeah. >> Punching in the face.
>> Those hockey fights, I'm swinging for the fences.
[LAUGH] >> Thank you.
>> Speaker 1: I mean, so are you.
>> Speaker 1: Reversal, how about that?
>> Boingy line?
>> Speaker 1: No, you're not gonna closeline me.
>> Speaker 1: I don't remember that.
>> Speaker 1: Look at you, little luchador go.
Look at you.
>> Man, I remember so little.
This is, I think, why our matches are so different, because-
>> Cuz you have terrible memory?
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, because we don't remember what we did.
>> Speaker 1: Why are you sitting on my head?
>> Speaker 1: I didn't know you were doing that.
>> Speaker 1: Well, no, obviously I didn't.
Why would I warn you?
I'm trying to get the better of you.
Get in the stairs and shut your face.
>> Speaker 1: Wait, I think I remember this.
>> Speaker 1: Look, you hurt your elbow.
>> Speaker 1: I think you're doing- >> Is that where the started?
>> No, no, no.
>> Speaker 1: How's that doing?
Let me see.
>> Right now, I don't know.
>> It's not great.
I think you're gonna stand on the stairs in a minute, gonna stand on my hand.
>> Speaker 1: Good.
>> Speaker 1: And then I think you kick me in the eyeball.
>> Speaker 1: No, we're leaving.
What are you talking about?
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna make it look like we're leaving.
One more time.
>> Surprise.
>> Speaker 1: If I recall,
you go up to the stairs now and you kick me right in the eyeball.
>> Speaker 1: Let's see it.
Let's see it. >> Speaker 1: I could be wrong.
>> Speaker 1: Good close up shot of it.
I'm standing on your hands.
>> Speaker 1: Standing on the hands, I remember.
Ow, ow, ow, get off of me, for the love of God.
>> Speaker 1: Quick little kick.
>> Speaker 1: Here it is.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah [APPLAUSE] >> [LAUGH] Right in the eyeball.
>> Speaker 1: Right in the eye.
>> Speaker 1: Point of the toe in the eyeball.
>> Speaker 1: [LAUGH] >> I guess I do remember this, man.
I remember that.
>> Speaker 1: That was great.
I like that.
>> Speaker 1: He says about himself?
>> Speaker 1: No, about the sequence of events.
>> Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing, eh?
>> Speaker 1: What? >> Speaker 1: Wrestling.
Remember you were big on chin locks at this time?
>> Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
>> It was your thing for a minute.
Did you not start calling yourself Mr. Chinlock or something?
>> Speaker 1: Chinlock City.
>> Speaker 1: [LAUGH] Chinlock City.
>> Speaker 1: Chinlock island.
>> Speaker 1: Island, right.
So how long have you been on the main roster at this time?
>> Speaker 1: Four months?
No, a year.
>> Speaker 1: This is a good one, if I remember.
>> Speaker 1: Over a year.
Did I know that one was coming?
I don't think I did.
I didn't even see it.
>> Speaker 1: May 2015 is when I started.
>> Speaker 1: So this is a solid year in.
>> July 2016.
>> Speaker 1: And me, I came up, yeah.
>> [CROSSTALK] four times.
>> Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so I also came up 2015.
No, really started 2016 cuz of my shoulder surgery.
>> Speaker 1: In March 2016.
>> Speaker 1: Well, I'm the man of a thousand debuts.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, well, [CROSSTALK] debut.
No, that doesn't count.
>> Speaker 1: There is the Cena.
>> Speaker 1: No, that doesn't count.
>> Speaker 1: Actually, there's another one even prior to that.
>> That doesn't count either.
Those stupid tag match on Raw with [CROSSTALK]
>> Tag match on Raw, yeah,
I didn't stick around.
>> Speaker 1: No debut, you debut if you come back the next week.
Otherwise, false start.
>> Speaker 1: So when was that really, February?
>> March 2016.
>> Speaker 1: There you go.
>> Speaker 1: Look at that. [CROSSTALK] You would not stay down,
resilient.
>> Speaker 1: I forgot about that.
>> Speaker 1: Courageous.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, but look, I'm back down.
>> Speaker 1: Stupid.
>> Speaker 1: Yes, it was a burst of fighting spirit, but
then ultimately, the tally had.
>> The tally?
>> Speaker 1: The tally of all your abuse had caught up to me.
>> Speaker 1: Abuse?
>> Speaker 1: Abuse [CROSSTALK] for a good five minutes there.
I wonder what match number do you think this is in our careers?
>> Speaker 1: I thought you meant on the card.
I was gonna say second.
>> Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I definitely remember it was second.
Nice, Rikishi.
>> Speaker 1: I don't know, man, 600?
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe, eh?
If you include tags, four ways, opponents, enemies, everything.
>> It's a wildly swing.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
>> Speaker 1: No care for where it lands.
>> Speaker 1: He just kicked me in the eyeball minutes before.
>> Speaker 1: I did that on purpose.
>> Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm just throwing some punches here.
That's pretty good.
It looks like a boy fired up on sticks.
Fired up on sticks there.
>> Speaker 1: No, the move everybody steals now.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah. >> Kicked out, kicked out,
you think I'm staying now with that?
Get out of here.
There you go.
I thought you were getting away.
>> Speaker 1: Not today, there you go.
>> Yeah, yeah, look at that.
Got one foot over my shoulder, but not on the other.
>> Speaker 1: It's hard to get a double leg Nelson.
>> Speaker 1: It is, double leg Nelson.
>> Speaker 1: No, regal, regal, that's what is the technical term for it.
>> Speaker 1: Interesting.
>> Speaker 1: My face looks smaller because of the beard, I think.
I wonder what I'd look like.
>> Speaker 1: Like that?
>> Speaker 1: No, I mean no beard.
I haven't seen my face in, well, 12 years now, I think.
It's probably not a pretty sight.
[LAUGH] My God,
that one always looks crazy, man.
You should win with that sometime.
>> Speaker 1: People keep kicking out of it, not my fault.
You got to time it just right when you do it in the match.
Were you still doing the 180 springboard moonsault at this time, second rope,
third rope?
>> Sure.
>> I remember that one killed me a little bit, I think.
>> Speaker 1: Good. >> Speaker 1: Yeah,
all of them killed me, actually, those froggies.
>> Speaker 1: That's the point.
>> Speaker 1: I don't like it.
I wanna be comfortable, cutting it tight.
Yeah, it's true.
What am I thinking?
You got good elevation there.
You're saying you're what there, 232, 260?
>> Speaker 1: I'm 230 now.
>> And you're 260 here?
>> Speaker 1: 270, maybe even.
>> Speaker 1: Man, that's pretty high for 270.
It's like RVD levels.
>> Speaker 1: But I'm gonna close line you in the corner now.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.
Am I following you in?
No, that's right.
>> Speaker 1: Cannonball.
You wanna sit in the corner?
[CROSSTALK] whip.
>> Boom.
>> That must smoke so many guys.
>> Speaker 1: I'll give you another one, it seems.
>> Speaker 1: Really?
>> Speaker 1: Better not move, great.
>> Speaker 1: My God. >> Speaker 1: Maybe a third one.
You're coming out of it.
What am I gonna do?
>> Speaker 1: Pop up.
>> Man.
>> Speaker 1: After that, you're going for the finish, pop up power bomb.
>> Speaker 1: You're gonna land on your feet behind me.
>> Speaker 1: Am I?
No, you forgot about that.
I haven't done that one in a hot minute.
>> Speaker 1: Dump me on my head, come back for the line.
>> No. >> No?
>> Yep.
>> God, you kicked me in the ribs on the way down.
What'd you do that for?
>> You see a lot of sequences like this nowadays.
But at the time, you really did not see stuff like this in WWE, I think,
very much.
Which is why, if I recall, the fans are rocking and
rolling right here pretty good.
Yeah, there you go.
That's nice to see, man, we're just laying out and they're going crazy.
Man, they went way.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a hell of a string of matches, man.
We had that, that.
>> This one? >> Speaker 1: Then we had the four one.
Then we had bottom back.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, we were rocking it, man.
>> Speaker 1: We had the ladder match, too.
The Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
>> Speaker 1: That was all four?
Yeah, month after month.
And the WrestleMania Ladder Match before that.
So that was five pay-per-views in a row.
They're all on fire, man, underrated string of matches there.
That was a good year for WWE, man.
Great pay-per-views, great matches, great talent.
Yeah, look, they're on their feet.
That's pretty great.
So what town was this?
You said it's not Baltimore.
>> Speaker 1: No, I think that was Newark.
>> Speaker 1: No, Newark's the four way, Philadelphia?
>> Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
>> Speaker 1: Man, that was a pretty close near fall.
Boingy DDT, boingy boingy.
>> Speaker 1: On my knees.
>> Speaker 1: No, God.
>> Speaker 1: Take that kidneys.
>> Speaker 1: Once in a blue moon, that one will really damage me.
>> Good.
>> Speaker 1: Chicago.
>> Speaker 1: Chicago, of course.
>> Speaker 1: Illinois.
>> Speaker 1: Yes, red hot crowd.
You ever think about how long we've been having great matches?
It's pretty impressive.
>> Speaker 1: Try not to think of myself ever, to be honest.
>> Speaker 1: [LAUGH] If you stop and think about it, it's pretty impressive.
>> Speaker 1: I have no desire to ever think of myself.
>> Speaker 1: I think I remember,
that looked like it punched you right in the nose.
Let me see, I think I remember this.
Another one, I don't remember that, I don't.
Yeah, those are just straight left, [LAUGH] straight left.
Not even trying.
>> Speaker 1: I'm certainly not gonna get backdropped.
>> Speaker 1: This is also before apron stuff became common in WWE, great timing.
I think I know what's coming next.
Yeah, that was a nice one.
Wow, great camera work.
>> Speaker 1: Guess what's coming?
>> Speaker 1: I'm going to try, but I'm guessing it's super, yeah.
>> Speaker 1: You think I'm done with you?
>> Man, this is hard work.
>> Speaker 1: Pop up power bomb, ball game.
>> Speaker 1: Is that it?
I love that.
I remember that.
The Collapse and Desperation cover.
>> Speaker 1: JBLs, it's called a show.
>> Speaker 1: These boys just stole the show.
That was good.
>> Speaker 1: Proud of yourself.
>> Speaker 1: I am, actually.
I'm proud of the fact that this was a really good match.
We're still having pretty good matches now.
>> Speaker 1: We've gotten considerably worse at our jobs.
>> Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but I don't know.
There's obviously an undeniable chemistry that's kept us doing this for this long,
but I really enjoyed that.
>> Handcuffed, one might say.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah, but still.
>> To each other.
All right, guys, thanks a lot for watching the playback of Payback.
Why are you clapping?
>> Speaker 1: Nice.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah. >> Speaker 1: You hit my line.
>> Speaker 1: I know, but why do you start clapping in the middle of my sentence?
>> Speaker 1: Okay, do it again, I'll clap after.
>> Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for watching the playback of Payback.
>> Speaker 1: [APPLAUSE] >> You can catch us at Payback this year,
this Saturday.
>> Speaker 1: Yeah. >> Speaker 1: As we defend our tag team
championships against Judgment Day.
Damian Priest, Finn Balor in a still city street fight.
>> Speaker 1: That one's gonna be another good one.
That's gonna be worth watching six years down the road, I'm hoping, right?
>> Speaker 1: Sure, six years.
