[MUSIC]
Dead Man walking.
[MUSIC]
>> [INAUDIBLE] here, Dead Man walking.
>> [INAUDIBLE] introducing first, from Houston, Texas.
>> It's Rollin', the music of Limp Bizkit.
>> The Undertaker!
>> This gonna be a Christmas we'll never forget, JR.
The Dead Man and The Rock.
[MUSIC]
>> If you smell.
[MUSIC]
>> Weighing 270 pounds, The Rock.
>> [NOISE]
[MUSIC]
>> And look at the eyes, King,
of that [INAUDIBLE] >> This is gonna be great.
But speaking of the Royal Rumble, let me go ahead key in, JR.
The second man in the Royal Rumble is Dead Man, The Undertaker.
The Undertaker and Kane, two men already in the Royal Rumble.
>> And it's gonna be something January 21st [INAUDIBLE] here on Christmas night.
>> Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky.
>> The Rock and The Undertaker, no fear in either of their eyes.
No intimidation here, no love lost, but they do have respect for each other.
>> The Undertaker says this ring is his yard, but The Rock said,
the Undertaker's yard is on his people.
Whoa, did you see that shot?
>> The Rock 6'5", looking up at The Undertaker and the American badass.
Has The Rock in that corner,
and The Undertaker can get a man in a corner, King, and beat him to nothing.
>> Look at this.
>> What a hand, The Rock 6'5'', 260 over the top rope,
from the [INAUDIBLE] of that right hand, and another [INAUDIBLE] by The Undertaker.
>> I got to tell you I don't think this is the way that Rock thought this match would
start out.
This is a match made by Mr. McMahon, who is allegedly in Greenwich,
Connecticut here tonight, at a soup kitchen.
And I say allegedly, underscore.
>> Uh-oh, and look out, body back with a right-hand, look out.
>> Undertaker downstairs, ramming Rock into the security wall.
>> My God!
>> And The Undertaker taking it right to The People's Champion.
>> I'm kicking his ass.
What's it look like I'm doing?
>> [LAUGH] Did you hear that?
>> Yeah, I heard it all right.
A lot of Rock fans, a lot of Undertaker fans here.
>> Look out there.
>> Good night.
>> Come on, [INAUDIBLE] >> The Rock laying prone on our
table here.
>> [NOISE] >> This is
not a Christmas scene that I wanna be a part of.
>> [NOISE] >> Uh-oh, boy, look out.
You got him.
Where the hell to go?
There's nowhere to go out here!
>> [NOISE] >> This is not good, JR,
what are you doing out there?
Get back here!
>> I'm trying to get out of the way!
>> [LAUGH] Somebody gets beat up around here.
Look at the SmackDown laid on you.
Here you go. >> The Rock trying to fight back.
The Rock trying to lay a SmackDown on The Undertaker but
The Undertaker cuts The Rock right off with a knee to the abdomen.
>> You're forgetting [INAUDIBLE] beatings all night long.
Man, and The Rock with a clothesline knocking down The Undertaker.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> But not for long,
The Undertaker right back up, reverses the Irish whip.
>> [SOUND] [APPLAUSE] >> The Rock scores with a neck
breaker ticking down The Undertaker.
>> Look how quick The Undertaker is right back on his feet and
delivered more punishment.
>> And The Undertaker at the top of his ballgame, here tonight.
On Christmas night, The Rock's [INAUDIBLE] slip, down goes the bad ass,
there's the cover, the leg is hooked and another near fall here.
>> [NOISE] >> And this has been physical and
intense [INAUDIBLE] and now with a shot right there, right between the eyes.
>> [NOISE] >> I don't think I've seen The Undertaker
this determined, this focused in a long time.
>> I mean, the Rock just got a shoulder,
maybe a couple of inches at most, off the canvas.
>> This is a huge match, JR.
This is all about pride.
Both of these men probably consider themselves the top superstars in the WWF.
>> These two men were last, they've been Tag Team Champions in the last week.
They won the titles right here on Raw,
lost on them on UPN's SmackDown, on Thursday night, thanks to Kurt Angle.
>> Yeah, but each one of these guys, I think sort of blamed the other for
that loss.
>> The Undertaker [INAUDIBLE] but right in the kidneys.
A lot of the things that we don't wanna talk about, those chimney shots,
let me tell you, and The Rock is feeling it right now.
>> I saw The Undertaker absorbed some serious punishment for the Rock earlier.
I've been having look at him.
He looks fresh.
He looks, he's just popping right up after everything.
This is scary.
>> Undertaker's like a skilled surgeon.
He knows exactly the body parts to attack on any opponent, including The Rock,
who just hit The Undertaker come again with a reverse elbow.
>> Uh-oh.
>> Undertaker just overpowered The Rock on that exchange into the sidewalk slam.
One for the cover.
That's 330 pounds with the lateral press.
>> And The Undertaker has,
he's competing this match at his pace.
[CROSSTALK] Phonetic tense.
>> [NOISE] >> He's a huge man.
I'm telling you, that is a physical specimen and
The Undertaker still towers over The Rock.
>> And The Rock kind of stands in the middle of the ring.
>> And [INAUDIBLE] DDT.
I've got it.
[INAUDIBLE] and
The Undertaker powers out with authority before the three after the DDT.
>> That DDT would have put a normal man out for five minutes.
>> Or you're not kidding.
But as we know, The Undertaker is far from normal.
>> That right. >> He's extremely abnormal.
>> First of all, [INAUDIBLE] knocking down The Rock and again The Undertaker.
Neither of these two men knew before they came her tonight that they will be facing
each other.
>> I wonder if Mr. McMahon has been able to take a person out to have that soup for
the homeless to watch this.
>> I don't know that the soup is [INAUDIBLE] I suppose.
And The Undertaker [INAUDIBLE] right on those kidneys he's been hammering on.
Back on that [INAUDIBLE] by bow and arrow.
No submission move but the key thing was that knee,
that right knee of The Undertaker in the kidneys.
>> That move was just designed to wear The Rock down.
That's what The Undertaker wants to do.
Like I said, The Undertaker is fighting this match and he's on pace.
It's like he's got a definite thing planned here.
And he's the biggest dog in his yard and The Rock now being
squeezed through [INAUDIBLE] Stone Cold earlier tonight.
And Stone Cold presented [INAUDIBLE] on Christmas.
>> Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky.
>> The Undertaker using his shoulder as a post for leverage and
his massive strength, his upper-body strength.
Putting the pressure on the lower back and those kidneys of The People's Champion.
>> Not to mention that shoulder you talked about of The Undertaker's is driving right
in, being pulled right into the sternum of The Rock.
>> Very difficult for The Rock to take breaths, deep breaths in or out,
King, in the position he's in right now.
>> Exactly, and when you can't breathe, there goes your strength.
You lose.
Look at this.
>> These men beating each other down and
right now has been The Undertaker with the advantage as senior referee [INAUDIBLE].
>> Man.
>> But the Rock still in this thing but for how much longer?
>> Man, back with another right hand and
The Undertaker's hands stayed together but now they're broken.
And the hold is broken.
>> [NOISE] >> The Rock,
everything he's got are in those right hands and The Undertaker not going down.
He isn't even rattled by the people's champion.
[INAUDIBLE] DDT.
>> God, that's got to be all.
>> And what a match we're seeing here, JR.
The fans here at Chattanooga are loving this match, I know you are.
The McMahons have got to be loving this.
>> There's a cover for the DDT, one, two, no three, no three.
No three, it was a near-fall.
>> Very, very near-fall.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Undertaker now measuring The Rock,
Rock lying on his stomach, that lower back exposed.
>> Look at this. The Undertaker's buying his time,
he's just gonna stand there and wait for The Rock to get to his feet.
>> [INAUDIBLE] right hand of The Undertaker, it could be a chokeslam.
>> I got a feeling.
>> [CROSSTALK] Christmas list of The Undertaker for The Rock.
>> Well, I got a feeling somebody's about to go for a ride.
The man [INAUDIBLE] >> Look out, Rock.
>> Now Rock.
>> Whoa!
>> The Rock, he blocked the right hand and [INAUDIBLE]
>> [INAUDIBLE] taking out these two guys,
let me tell you.
>> My God.
What a right hand, knocking down the 330 pound.
>> Now look at The Rock and now The Undertaker is in trouble.
>> Yeah, The Rock sides of The Undertaker looks like a rock bottom here.
>> [INAUDIBLE] Rock Bottom,
this two are beating the hell on each other.
Chokeslam, the chokeslam from hell by The Undertaker.
>> No. >> And now he signals for The Last Ride.
>> This is The Last Ride that The Rock said he didn't fear.
>> Wait a minute.
No, King, look.
>> What?
>> It's Rikishi, but what the hell is he doing here?
>> What?
>> Rikishi on the apron, knocked off by The Undertaker.
What in the hell is that 400-pound Rikishi doing here?
His lacerated tendon we heard was healing well from Hell in a Cell.
Spinebuster!
>> [APPLAUSE] >> The Undertaker has got him for
the spinebuster.
>> My gosh, what is Rikishi doing?
>> We are about to witness the most electrifying move.
Look out!
[INAUDIBLE] >> [NOISE]
>> Rikishi [INAUDIBLE]
>> [NOISE]
>> [INAUDIBLE] chair.
He's assaulting the [INAUDIBLE].
The referee is calling for the bell.
Undertaker.
>> My god.
>> Did you see that?
>> [INAUDIBLE] Undertaker and Rock have
beaten the living hell out of each other.
[INAUDIBLE] The Undertaker.
The Rock is helpless, don't do it Rikishi, don't do it.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> God, good God almighty, Rikishi,
at 400+ pounds, in the chest cavity of The Undertaker and The Rock.
>> I can't believe my eyes.
Rikishi has just destroyed The Undertaker and The Rock.
Merry Christmas, Undertaker.
Merry Christmas, Rock!
