00:07:36,356 --> 00:07:37,157
- He's built to go.
181
00:07:37,223 --> 00:07:38,224
He's an animal.
182
00:07:38,224 --> 00:07:39,626
I mean, you see those traps
coming up.
183
00:07:39,626 --> 00:07:40,660
It's a gut check.
184
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:41,795
- Driving Hogan into the mat.
185
00:07:41,861 --> 00:07:43,363
- F5.
186
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:44,998
- The F5 plants Hogan.
187
00:07:45,632 --> 00:07:48,401
Now the vice-like grip by
Lesnar.
188
00:07:48,868 --> 00:07:50,203
Hollywood Hulk Hogan is hurt.
189
00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:52,572
The blood trickling from the
mouth of Hogan.
190
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,674
- Hogan's busted up on the
inside.
191
00:07:55,709 --> 00:07:56,543
- It's over.
192
00:07:56,643 --> 00:07:58,278
[bell rings]
193
00:07:58,345 --> 00:07:59,446
- Look at Heyman.
194
00:07:59,512 --> 00:08:02,582
This monster has squeezed the
life out of Hulk Hogan.
195
00:08:03,550 --> 00:08:08,221
- Any fan watching WWE in 2002
thought Brock Lesnar was
196
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:09,222
The Next Big Thing.
197
00:08:09,289 --> 00:08:10,423
- This is enough.
198
00:08:10,824 --> 00:08:13,927
- After the match with Hulk
Hogan, everyone knew Brock
199
00:08:13,994 --> 00:08:16,429
Lesnar was The Next Big Thing.
200
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:20,633
- The destruction of a legend.
201
00:08:25,004 --> 00:08:27,474
Moving right along to our number
six moment when "Stone Cold"
202
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:30,877
Steve Austin's pension for
causing chaos gave us one of the
203
00:08:30,944 --> 00:08:34,481
most explosive moments in WWE
history.
204
00:08:37,384 --> 00:08:38,985
This can only mean
one thing, King.
205
00:08:38,985 --> 00:08:41,221
- The DX Express.
206
00:08:41,321 --> 00:08:44,224
- I don't know why people who
beep at "Stone Cold" Steve
207
00:08:44,290 --> 00:08:47,394
Austin feel a need to show off
fancy new vehicle.
208
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:48,661
[laughing]
209
00:08:48,762 --> 00:08:50,430
It's like he's going to destroy
this somehow.
210
00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:52,665
- I don't think Austin's here
tonight, okay.
211
00:08:52,665 --> 00:08:53,600
- Of course not.
212
00:08:53,666 --> 00:08:54,601
- But I got a funny feeling
about tonight.
213
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:55,568
I know he's not here.
214
00:08:55,635 --> 00:08:57,637
I just think we should cover all
the bases.
215
00:08:58,505 --> 00:08:59,239
- Get him, get him, get him.
216
00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:00,006
Shane.
217
00:09:00,073 --> 00:09:01,875
Shane, Shane, Shane.
218
00:09:01,941 --> 00:09:03,343
Okay, it's a cardboard.
219
00:09:03,443 --> 00:09:04,110
Shane.
220
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:06,346
It's a damn cardboard cutout.
221
00:09:06,446 --> 00:09:08,314
- He's here under our noses.
222
00:09:08,314 --> 00:09:09,249
- We got this.
223
00:09:09,315 --> 00:09:10,350
- Oh come on.
224
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:11,551
- Snake.
225
00:09:11,985 --> 00:09:13,219
- It's a snake.
226
00:09:13,319 --> 00:09:14,287
It's a damn rattlesnake.
227
00:09:15,622 --> 00:09:22,662
- "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, get
your ass out here now.
228
00:09:22,729 --> 00:09:24,497
- It's Stone Cold.
229
00:09:24,597 --> 00:09:26,099
- He's in the parking lot.
230
00:09:26,199 --> 00:09:28,468
- You don't wanna be a target
for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
231
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:29,436
Stone Cold definitely took
offense
232
00:09:29,502 --> 00:09:30,670
to their gorgeous new bus.
233
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:32,872
- It seems the only thing I've
ever been good at
234
00:09:32,872 --> 00:09:34,774
is tearing [bleep] up.
235
00:09:34,841 --> 00:09:36,910
- Anytime Stone Cold's around,
you know, you kinda know, like,
236
00:09:36,976 --> 00:09:37,644
something's gonna happen.
237
00:09:37,710 --> 00:09:38,878
You know, he's up to something.
238
00:09:38,945 --> 00:09:41,281
- I guess what I'm saying is I'm
good at deconstruction.
239
00:09:41,347 --> 00:09:42,515
- What?
240
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:44,751
- That's the DX Express.
241
00:09:46,553 --> 00:09:48,521
The DX Express bus just
exploded.
242
00:09:50,056 --> 00:09:51,791
Do you believe that?
243
00:09:52,258 --> 00:09:53,726
- It's something that I think
everybody on the roster wants to
244
00:09:53,793 --> 00:09:55,428
do at some point in time.
245
00:09:55,495 --> 00:09:57,797
Use some heavy machinery and
just blow something up.
246
00:09:57,864 --> 00:09:59,999
- He's demolished the DX
Express.
247
00:10:00,066 --> 00:10:01,601
- Holy cow.
248
00:10:01,668 --> 00:10:05,104
- And that's the bottom line
'cause Stone Cold said so.
249
00:10:11,978 --> 00:10:13,246
- During the early years of
SmackDown, one of the most
250
00:10:13,313 --> 00:10:16,683
feared in-ring competitors was
Olympic gold medalist
251
00:10:16,749 --> 00:10:20,386
Kurt Angle, but Kurt also had
some serious comedic chops.
252
00:10:21,187 --> 00:10:25,625
Coming in at number five, Kurt's
unforgettable rendition of HBK's
253
00:10:25,692 --> 00:10:28,228
iconic theme, Sexy Boy.
254
00:10:31,097 --> 00:10:33,266
[Shawn Michaels' music]
255
00:10:33,333 --> 00:10:36,236
- The best thing about a
superstar theme
256
00:10:36,236 --> 00:10:37,470
is that it's catchy.
257
00:10:38,238 --> 00:10:40,673
HBK is a prime example.
258
00:10:40,673 --> 00:10:42,775
- Kurt Angle, in his feud
with Shawn Michaels,
259
00:10:42,842 --> 00:10:44,711
he said he could do anything
260
00:10:44,711 --> 00:10:47,046
that Shawn Michaels can
do, but better.
261
00:10:47,113 --> 00:10:51,718
[Shawn Michaels' music]
262
00:10:51,784 --> 00:10:52,552
- What the hell?
263
00:10:52,619 --> 00:10:53,553
- HBK?
264
00:10:53,620 --> 00:10:55,622
- The Showstopper.
265
00:10:55,722 --> 00:10:57,023
- Wait a minute.
266
00:10:57,023 --> 00:10:59,626
That's Kurt Angle.
267
00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:02,562
- I said that I would outdo
Shawn Michaels.
268
00:11:02,629 --> 00:11:04,764
Tonight, I'm gonna prove that
269
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:06,266
I'm a better
entertainer as well.
270
00:11:06,866 --> 00:11:08,535
I was probably just as good if
not better
271
00:11:08,601 --> 00:11:10,436
than Shawn at that time.
272
00:11:10,503 --> 00:11:11,771
- That's Sensational Sherri.
273
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:12,872
- What the hell?
274
00:11:12,939 --> 00:11:14,807
- She was Shawn Michaels'
manager.
275
00:11:15,208 --> 00:11:19,712
- The original songstress behind
Shawn Michaels' Sexy Boy music.
276
00:11:19,712 --> 00:11:23,316
- And that, of course, brought
us to Sexy Kurt.
277
00:11:23,383 --> 00:11:25,151
- Hit the music.
278
00:11:26,586 --> 00:11:27,520
- Oh.
279
00:11:27,587 --> 00:11:29,222
Oh, Shawn.
280
00:11:29,322 --> 00:11:34,928
I think I'm cute I got gold
medals I've got the moves That
281
00:11:34,994 --> 00:11:41,067
makes them all tap out The Angle
Slam The Angle Lock
282
00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:46,873
Marty Jannetty still can't
walk I'm just a sexy Kurt
283
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:49,108
- Sexy Kurt.
284
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:50,843
- I'll make your ankle hurt.
285
00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:52,645
- Ankle hurt.
286
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:58,284
- It was so bad it was a
classic, instantly.
287
00:11:58,351 --> 00:12:00,353
- Now that's how you do an
entrance.
288
00:12:02,155 --> 00:12:04,457
- Heading into our number four
moment, we jump to February of
289
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:08,361
2004 when Eddie Guerrero defied
the odds when he defeated Brock
290
00:12:08,428 --> 00:12:13,266
Lesnar for the WWE Championship,
setting the stage for an epic
291
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:15,268
celebration on SmackDown.
292
00:12:18,838 --> 00:12:20,473
- Frog Splash.
293
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:23,409
[crowd yells
"One, two, three"]
294
00:12:23,476 --> 00:12:25,345
- Eddie Guerrero does it.
295
00:12:25,445 --> 00:12:28,281
- You work so hard all your
life, you know, for something.
296
00:12:28,348 --> 00:12:30,550
And sometimes this
dream seemed
297
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:33,820
so unattainable to me,
you know,
298
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,089
that it was hard for me
to believe when
299
00:12:36,155 --> 00:12:37,724
it actually happened.
300
00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:38,625
- Wow.
301
00:12:38,625 --> 00:12:40,226
- Hugging his father at
ringside.
302
00:12:40,293 --> 00:12:43,463
- How proud are the Guerrero
family?
303
00:12:43,529 --> 00:12:44,430
- I can't believe it.
304
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:46,499
- For the first time in his
career,
305
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:49,602
Eddie Guerrero is WWE Champion.
306
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:53,973
- SmackDown being the place
where Eddie was really able to
307
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:59,212
build his entire WWE career,
there was nothing else
308
00:12:59,278 --> 00:13:03,016
to do but celebrate this man.
309
00:13:03,082 --> 00:13:05,485
Not just for beating Brock
Lesnar, but for everything that
310
00:13:05,551 --> 00:13:06,619
he had done on the way.
311
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,555
[Eddie Guerrero's music]
312
00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:14,594
- A ticker tape-type parade for
Eddie Guerrero on SmackDown.
313
00:13:15,995 --> 00:13:18,398
- Once Eddie Guerrero came out,
you could see in his eyes how
314
00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:21,267
much passion he had for this
business.
315
00:13:22,068 --> 00:13:25,071
[Spanish language]
316
00:13:27,073 --> 00:13:28,474
- He worked so hard for it.
317
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:30,510
Eddie was always dreaming that
he just wanted to get that one
318
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:33,746
accolade to have that, you know,
checked off on his list.
319
00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:36,883
- For everyone that supported
me, I say,
320
00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:38,518
gracias, thank you.
321
00:13:38,584 --> 00:13:41,788
[Spanish language]
322
00:13:41,854 --> 00:13:46,626
[fireworks]
323
00:13:46,693 --> 00:13:49,262
- Our number three SmackDown
moment has the Big Boss Man
324
00:13:49,362 --> 00:13:52,432
attempting to pay his respects
at the funeral
325
00:13:52,498 --> 00:13:54,867
of Big Show's father.
326
00:13:54,867 --> 00:13:59,105
But this is the wild and
unpredictable world of WWE.
327
00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:03,810
So, perhaps, not quite the kind
of condolences you'd expect.
328
00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:09,282
- My father passed away when I
was in college,
329
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:13,352
and he never got to see me
become a WWE Superstar.
330
00:14:13,419 --> 00:14:15,588
When I go into being part of a
storyline, I commit 200%.
331
00:14:15,788 --> 00:14:20,460
It was a way for me in a lot of
ways to pay tribute to my dad.
332
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,229
Dad, I love you.
333
00:14:23,229 --> 00:14:25,698
You were a good man.
334
00:14:26,933 --> 00:14:28,568
- Dearly beloved-
335
00:14:29,202 --> 00:14:30,370
- What in the hell is that?
336
00:14:30,436 --> 00:14:32,271
- -why are we all out here
today?
337
00:14:32,271 --> 00:14:34,073
To watch the Big Show cry about
his dear old daddy
338
00:14:34,140 --> 00:14:35,975
for the very last time.
339
00:14:36,042 --> 00:14:37,310
- Here comes Boss Man in a
police car
340
00:14:37,376 --> 00:14:39,112
with a megaphone on top of it.
341
00:14:39,112 --> 00:14:41,080
It's like something straight out
of the Blues Brothers.
342
00:14:42,648 --> 00:14:45,318
- He's not sick, he's not
suffering,
343
00:14:45,384 --> 00:14:47,320
he's dead as a doornail.
344
00:14:47,386 --> 00:14:48,488
- There are no lines.
345
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,189
there is no line of decorum.
346
00:14:50,256 --> 00:14:52,058
What line won't you cross?
347
00:14:52,158 --> 00:14:54,927
- Hey, Ms. Wight, now that
you're a single woman, would you
348
00:14:54,994 --> 00:14:57,363
like to go out with a man like
me?
349
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:58,698
- No, you don't, you son of a
bitch.
350
00:14:58,798 --> 00:14:59,866
Not my momma.
351
00:14:59,866 --> 00:15:00,633
No, you don't.
352
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:01,667
Hell no.
353
00:15:01,768 --> 00:15:02,835
- I'm sorry.

00:15:02,835 --> 00:15:04,170
[laughing]

00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:07,373
-That's just- That was special
TV there.
356
00:15:08,541 --> 00:15:09,976
And I'm the morbid one, right?
357
00:15:10,777 --> 00:15:14,680
- So, Boss Man attaches
something to the casket and then
358
00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:18,985
starts driving away with it and
it's going through the grass.
359
00:15:18,985 --> 00:15:23,189
The Big Show jumps on the casket
to try to save it
360
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:24,424
and it's so ridiculous.
361
00:15:26,459 --> 00:15:29,228
- I never thought in a million
years they would show that whole
362
00:15:29,295 --> 00:15:33,099
thing on TV because it was just
so absurdly ridiculous.
363
00:15:33,199 --> 00:15:36,602
Like, "They'll never put that on
TV, this angle's too serious."
364
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:37,637
Well, they put it on TV.
365
00:15:38,204 --> 00:15:39,238
But am I thankful for it?
366
00:15:39,305 --> 00:15:40,506
Absolutely.
367
00:15:40,606 --> 00:15:41,641
I mean, that's all you can do as
an entertainer is try to go out
368
00:15:41,741 --> 00:15:43,509
there and invoke an emotion out
of them and make sure
369
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:45,478
that they had a good experience.
370
00:15:50,516 --> 00:15:52,618
- The blue brand has seen its
fair share of incredible debuts.
371
00:15:52,718 --> 00:15:56,823
But on a 2002 episode of
SmackDown, the WWE Universe
372
00:15:56,923 --> 00:16:00,026
would witness the debut of one
of the most colorful, exciting,
373
00:16:00,026 --> 00:16:04,363
and high-flying superstars to
ever step foot in a WWE ring.
374
00:16:08,634 --> 00:16:09,635
- Who's this?
375
00:16:09,702 --> 00:16:18,010
[Rey Mysterio's music]
376
00:16:18,077 --> 00:16:21,914
- And making his SmackDown
debut, from San Diego,
377
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:28,754
California, weighing in at 175
pounds, Rey Mysterio.
378
00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:35,261
- In 2002, my buddy, my boy, Rey
Mysterio Jr. makes his debut on
379
00:16:35,361 --> 00:16:38,898
SmackDown against Chavo
Guerrero.
380
00:16:40,066 --> 00:16:41,868
- Top rope springboard.
381
00:16:41,934 --> 00:16:42,768
Hurricanrana.
382
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:43,536
Cover.
383
00:16:43,603 --> 00:16:44,270
- Three.
384
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:45,071
- Mysterio got him.
385
00:16:45,071 --> 00:16:46,172
- Oh.
386
00:16:46,239 --> 00:16:48,474
- But that wasn't the last of
him we'd see that night.
387
00:16:48,541 --> 00:16:51,510
- The main event of that episode
was a steel cage match.
388
00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:52,612
- Better get some more help out
here.
389
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:53,279
[bell rings]
390
00:16:53,346 --> 00:16:54,013
- Who's this?
391
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,214
Someone's coming out.
392
00:16:55,281 --> 00:16:55,915
Let's see who it is.
393
00:16:55,915 --> 00:16:56,516
- What the hell?
394
00:16:56,516 --> 00:16:58,184
It's-It's Rey Mysterio.
395
00:16:58,251 --> 00:16:59,619
He's scaling the cage.
396
00:17:00,186 --> 00:17:01,487
Mysterio up high.
397
00:17:01,554 --> 00:17:03,022
- What the hell is Mysterio
doing?
398
00:17:03,656 --> 00:17:04,590
Look at Rey.
399
00:17:04,891 --> 00:17:05,825
Look at Mysterio.
400
00:17:05,892 --> 00:17:06,759
- Oh, my God.
401
00:17:06,826 --> 00:17:10,196
A crossbody from the top of the
cage.
402
00:17:10,263 --> 00:17:12,498
- When you see him make that
dive,
403
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,967
when you see him put it on the
line, you see his heart and
404
00:17:15,001 --> 00:17:18,271
that's the guy that you always
will pull for.
405
00:17:18,271 --> 00:17:22,174
- You saw a highlight reel of
Rey Mysterio that night.
406
00:17:22,241 --> 00:17:23,843
That was the perfect debut for
that man.
407
00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:27,313
- And to this day, he can still
do everything he used to do.
408
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:29,415
It doesn't look like he slowed
down.
409
00:17:29,482 --> 00:17:31,784
He was born to do that.
410
00:17:31,851 --> 00:17:33,486
And his entire career he's shown
it.
411
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:37,223
- Mysterio victorious tonight on
SmackDown.
412
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:42,261
- Well, here it is, folks, our
number one moment
413
00:17:42,361 --> 00:17:43,462
on the countdown.
414
00:17:43,562 --> 00:17:45,164
And this one's a real classic.
415
00:17:45,231 --> 00:17:48,734
In 2001, "Stone Cold" Steve
Austin took his hell-raising
416
00:17:48,801 --> 00:17:50,403
antics outside the ring.
417
00:17:51,504 --> 00:17:54,440
The infamous Green Frog
Supermarket.
418
00:17:55,074 --> 00:17:59,245
In pursuit of five-time,
five-time, five-time, five-time,
419
00:17:59,312 --> 00:18:02,648
five-time champion, Booker T.
420
00:18:05,184 --> 00:18:06,185
- Honey nut.
421
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:08,120
No.
422
00:18:08,187 --> 00:18:09,555
Check to see
if they're fresh.
423
00:18:09,622 --> 00:18:10,790
[laughing]
424
00:18:11,223 --> 00:18:13,326
- Creative tells us, "Hey, man,
you and Booker are gonna have
425
00:18:13,392 --> 00:18:15,861
this brawl in a grocery store."
426
00:18:16,862 --> 00:18:18,097
- Attention shoppers.
427
00:18:18,197 --> 00:18:19,865
There's cans of whoop ass on
aisle two.
428
00:18:19,865 --> 00:18:21,200
That's aisle two.
429
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:22,201
- Whoop ass?
430
00:18:22,868 --> 00:18:24,670
- I've never done anything like
this before.
431
00:18:25,705 --> 00:18:29,041
Man, I'm like, here's a blank
canvas that Booker T and I are
432
00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:31,210
gonna have an opportunity to
paint together.
433
00:18:33,179 --> 00:18:34,547
- Austin.
434
00:18:34,647 --> 00:18:36,148
Attacking from behind.
435
00:18:37,149 --> 00:18:40,319
Booker T may have just
outsmarted Austin, King.
436
00:18:40,386 --> 00:18:42,355
- Fighting in a grocery store,
it can really be stupid.
437
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:44,657
- Uh-oh.
438
00:18:44,757 --> 00:18:45,825
- That's not Austin.
439
00:18:45,891 --> 00:18:48,160
- And I said, "Man, let's go out
and really make
440
00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:49,996
this thing memorable."
441
00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:58,404
[yelling]
442
00:18:58,471 --> 00:18:59,438
- You son of a bitch.
443
00:18:59,505 --> 00:19:00,673
[yelling]
444
00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:03,242
- Who allows pro wrestlers to
fight in the grocery store?
445
00:19:06,912 --> 00:19:09,348
- As he's beating Booker T up,
he's able to do all the
446
00:19:09,448 --> 00:19:11,584
catchphrases for the products
that he's using on him.
447
00:19:11,650 --> 00:19:13,686
- Do you have any Grey Poupon?
448
00:19:13,753 --> 00:19:14,587
Huh?
449
00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:16,522
Have some Grey Poupon.
450
00:19:16,589 --> 00:19:18,190
- Austin was just perfect
for-for that.
451
00:19:18,257 --> 00:19:21,060
Like, it's just so many funny
lines.
452
00:19:21,627 --> 00:19:22,662
- When the moon hits your-
453
00:19:22,762 --> 00:19:23,229
- Please.
454
00:19:23,295 --> 00:19:24,230
Please.
455
00:19:24,296 --> 00:19:28,634
- -eye, like a big pizza pie,
that's amore.
456
00:19:28,701 --> 00:19:30,436
- No.
457
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:31,570
- Huh, Book?
458
00:19:31,904 --> 00:19:34,006
- So, they went into that back
room.
459
00:19:35,207 --> 00:19:36,709
He throws Stone Cold in the
milk-
460
00:19:36,809 --> 00:19:38,077
- Get your ass--
461
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:39,812
Get in there.
462
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,115
- -and then Stone Cold turns it
back around on him.
463
00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:44,950
- Oh, God.
464
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:45,818
Oh, God.
465
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:47,319
Oh.
466
00:19:47,386 --> 00:19:49,889
- Stone Cold took a milk break
in the middle
467
00:19:49,955 --> 00:19:51,590
of this brawl with Booker T.
468
00:19:51,657 --> 00:19:53,359
- Thanks, Book, you got milk?
469
00:19:53,426 --> 00:19:54,927
[yelling]
470
00:19:54,994 --> 00:19:56,996
Let's brawl.
471
00:19:58,230 --> 00:20:00,266
- Oh, just comedic genius.
472
00:20:02,234 --> 00:20:03,469
- I gotta see how much it costs.
473
00:20:03,569 --> 00:20:04,704
- I heard when it was all said
and done,
474
00:20:04,804 --> 00:20:06,806
it was about $10,000
worth of damage.
475
00:20:07,406 --> 00:20:09,608
I'm surprised it wasn't 10 times
that
476
00:20:09,675 --> 00:20:10,443
[laughing]
477
00:20:10,543 --> 00:20:11,811
because they were all over the
place.
478
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:13,879
- Price check on a jackass.
479
00:20:14,346 --> 00:20:18,284
[groaning]
480
00:20:18,350 --> 00:20:20,920
Oh, I'm gonna get you.
481
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:23,789
- Price check on a jackass.
482
00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:27,226
A great piece of business as
they say, and a perfect example
483
00:20:27,293 --> 00:20:30,663
of the amazing and iconic
moments generated over the last
484
00:20:30,763 --> 00:20:35,367
25 years by the beloved blue
brand, SmackDown.
485
00:20:35,434 --> 00:20:36,969
That's gonna do it for this
episode.
486
00:20:37,036 --> 00:20:41,674
Thank you all for watching WWE's
greatest moments.
