Original subtitles

The following is a tables, ladders and chairs match.

And it is for the World Heavyweight Championship.

The first participant to obtain the title hanging over the ring will be

declared the World Heavyweight Champion.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, CM Punk has never competed in a table, sliders and

chairs match.

He will tonight.

And Punk promised us earlier it will be horrifying.

>> Speaker 2: It will be graphic.

>> Speaker 1: It will be hard to watch.

And Junior, I tend to believe it.

CM Punk, back to back 2 time money in the bank ladder match winner.

No one has done that.

CM Punk as good as they get in ladder matches.

But that's only one third of the equation tonight.

Tables and chairs will also play a huge factor.

Is Punk ready for all three tonight?

He is the Straight Edge superstar.

>> Speaker 2: A. >> Speaker 1: Renegade if you will, and

believes that his lifestyle can solve all of society's ills.

>> Speaker 2: CM Punk, the second City Saint could leave here tonight.

The new World Heavyweight Champion.

Well, we know that Tim Hardy, it's not superstitious.

Let's remember, ladies and gentlemen, this match has nothing to do with pins.

Nothing to do with submissions or count outs.

Neither man can be disqualified.

And once the bell rings, it's totally irrelevant that

Jeff Hardy enters last as the World's Champion.

Because the first man to climb the ladder

possess the title will be the World Heavyweight Champion.

>> Speaker 1: Remember, not only is this a specialty for Jeff Hardy, the TLC match.

A concept that Hardy himself helped pioneer.

This is only the 8th TLC match Jeff Hardy has competed in.

5.

>> Speaker 2: Hardy obviously have a an experience advantage.

That goes without saying, but this is a a very austere match.

Tlc.

It's severe and it's harsh.

The grim realities is that people are going to get injured in this contest.

The goal, debilitate and maim.

And then one you

deh One maims and

then one climbs.

No climbing, no winning.

>> Speaker 1: Introducing first, the challenger from Chicago,

Illinois, weighing 222 pounds, CM Punk.

And his opponent, from Cameron, North Carolina, weighing 225 pounds.

He is the current World Heavyweight Champion.

J.

Hardy.

This is no doubt one of the most brutal match concepts ever conceived.

It's all about destruction.

May the most extreme man win.

>> Speaker 2: Punk is a great striker.

He has a an arsenal of submission maneuvers that we're likely to see in this

matchup.

Again, if a man is unable to climb a ladder,

it's obvious that that individual cannot win the match.

Championship.

Hanging approximately 20ft above the ring.

>> Speaker 1: Everything'S great in Jeff Hardy's life right now.

Now he's the World Heavyweight Champion.

He's at peace with his brother Matt see a pumpkin ring.

Jeff Hardy's world with screeching halt tonight.

>> Speaker 2: Should he become the new chief Garden elbow.

Tie up both men in the early stages of what we'll be

offensive onslaught and risk taking those knees.

The damage that can be done with knees to the sternum and

Hardy getting beat down early does not bode well for how this match may finish.

>> Speaker 1: And remember the past couple of weeks all the hard shots that CM Punk

delivered to the skull of Jeff Hardy with steel chairs.

>> Speaker 2: Again no count outs.

Now the man can be disqualified.

Here comes a Punks very adept at using a chair as we have seen on Friday nights.

>> Speaker 1: And Hardy already in big trouble just moments after the opening

bell rang.

>> Speaker 2: Smack a steel on spine.

All legal in this cruel environment.

>> Speaker 1: And Punk it appears is going for gold right away.

Why not see a Punk climbing the ladder.

Hardy enters the frame just in time.

>> Speaker 2: Jeff Hardy out of desperation able to

intervene and up in CM Punk.

And look at the aggression of Jeff Hardy.

>> Speaker 1: Hardy now delivering some offense of his own.

>> Speaker 2: Think Jeff calls that the hardiac arrest.

Both feet right to the chest.

>> Speaker 2: Hardy told us last week that he loves the sound of tables breaking.

It's music to his ears.

>> Speaker 1: That is a unique enigma that would say that.

And again, Jeff Hardy, I guess all about climbing the ladder,

obtaining the world championship.

Hanging 20ft above the ring.

That's where Harvey's headed.

>> Speaker 2: And now Punk.

>> Speaker 1: Kicking the chair, or rather the ladder right now for Mother Hardy.

>> Speaker 1: Hardy's lucky.

Would have had a cleanup on aisle three from that ladder, I can tell you that.

Go to sleep.

Maybe if we're seeing Punk, it may be nap time.

Think of CM Punk hitting the go to sleep.

Which would pave the way right up the ladder to the gold.

>> Speaker 2: And now Hardy going for a steel chair for the first time.

>> Speaker 1: Whoa.

What elevation there.

>> Speaker 2: But see a P.

>> Speaker 1: Right on the spine.

Gosh almighty.

The the back of the chair driving right into the kidneys of Jeff Hardy.

Right into the lower back.

And man, to see him pump, have a distinct advantage right now.

>> Speaker 2: You can see Hardy wiggling his fingers, trying to get some.

Some nerve feeling.

>> Speaker 1: What's the corner.

Watch the kidneys right, right there.

Man, that was.

That was deadly.

CM Punk was out.

Was deadly.

What a shot.

>> Speaker 2: We've seen the aggression shown recently by CM Punk.

It knows no bounds.

>> Speaker 1: CM Punk and

we heard earlier tonight predicting victory this world title match.

And the way things are going, that prophecy may come true.

>> Speaker 2: It's all about a lifestyle choice for CM Punk.

He's promised to remove Jeff Hardy and his stain of bad examples forever.

>> Speaker 1: Punk using the squared circle as his own personal pull pit every

week.

>> Speaker 2: It's a sermon on the mount from CM Punk.

>> Speaker 1: Jeff Hardy thought he put on the brakes, avoided the contact and

he did with a corner, the cuffs and few leather.

Instead.

That steel chair shot to Jeff Hardy is going to be really challenging for

Hardy to overcome as this match continues.

And now Hardy holding his left anklet.

The structure of this match with tables, ladders and chairs.

No disqualifications.

And Punk with a head first suicide dive.

And again Punk was on point.

May have hurt himself, but on point nonetheless.

>> Speaker 2: And so far Punk has been more extreme than the extreme enigma.

>> Speaker 1: CM Punk has everything to gain in this match,

namely the world heavyweight title.

>> Speaker 2: The very first TLC matching match happened nine years ago almost to

the day.

Summerslam2000 and yes, Jeff Hardy was involved in that match.

What does Punk have in mind now.

>> Speaker 1: Seeing us see him Punk do a lot of damage with Jeff Hardy in.

>> Speaker 2: A steel chair again.

>> Speaker 1: And we see this, we've seen this.

This is very disturbing.

And Jeff Hardy fights out of the.

>> Speaker 2: Situation.

>> Speaker 1: Knowing the eventuality of it,

certainly aiming for Hardy's.

>> Speaker 2: Hunt was trying to disfigure Jeff Hardy there with that shot.

>> Speaker 1: Nice.

That one is gone.

>> Speaker 2: Jeff Hardy just hit a curveball all.

>> Speaker 1: The way to Manwood.

Hardy getting his swings in great agility by Poan sp.

>> Speaker 2: And that steel chair hit CM Punk right on the back of his elbow,

which is one of CM Punk's weapons that he uses, that sharp elbow.

The Muay Thai background from CM Punk.

>> Speaker 1: Jeff Hardy returning the favor of previous weeks of chair abuse by

CM Punk by now using a chair to retaliate on the number one contender for

Hardee's world title.

Nice hang time.

>> Speaker 2: There is nothing, and I do mean nothing,

that either one of these individuals would not do to win this match.

And now we may see our first table action.

>> Speaker 1: I can ask yourself, folks,

you're watching with us is what the heck's next?

We sure don't know.

And Hardy.

High risk, high reward.

Hit one big one, climb the ladder, roll the dice.

Or miss one big one and lose the title.

>> Speaker 2: Right through the table goes Hardy.

And this may be Punk's moment.

>> Speaker 1: Again, CM Punk has got a regroup the ladder.

Look at Jeff Hardy talking about high risk, high reward.

That was a photo finish.

>> Speaker 2: The daredevil not connecting on his target.

>> Speaker 1: And that's the name of the game, ladies and gentlemen,

to debilitate one's opponent so you can climb the ladder and reach the goal.

Become the wild Heavyweight champion.

>> Speaker 2: There is not a seat to be had here in the Staples center.

And yet none of those seats are being used right now.

Everyone on their feet.

As Punk perhaps is just about 10 steps away from becoming the new

World Heavyweight Champion.

>> Speaker 1: The carcinogenic rules of this match have left Jeff Hardy as you see

him on the outside.

This is a larger ladder that CM Punk has brought into play.

CM Punk climbing one rung of the ladder in time toward World championship.

>> Speaker 2: Punks going up.

Hardy holding on for dear life, as he should.

>> Speaker 1: You wonder how much strength Jeff Hardy's got with his back, his torso.

Jeff Hardy climbing.

Jeff Hardy touch.

>> Speaker 2: This title he's gonna possess has to be completely unhooked.

And right now, CM Punk not allowing that to happen.

>> Speaker 1: And Jeff Hardy in a bad place.

My gosh.

My gosh.

No.

Party. The power bomb right off the ladder.

Skin executed a power bomb on CM Punk.

However, both men are dead.

The far away look in his eye looked up, looked around.

I think he's trying to see where he got feeling in his legs.

He can move around.

Look at this.

>> Speaker 2: It looked like Punk was trying to put Hardy to sleep.

What a counter.

>> Speaker 1: This angle.

CM Punk's head smacking off the canvas.

Jeff Hardy like he was expelled from car accident.

Hardy trying to balance the ladder.

And you can tell Hardy's unstable as he can be.

>> Speaker 2: Both these athletes equilibriums must be shot at this point

as Hardy tries to steady himself and make the climb.

The ultimate climb.

>> Speaker 1: Jeff Hardy's fire burns with no sign of abatement.

Hardy climbing deliberately, slowly, but as quickly.

Quite frankly folks, as I think that he can.

Look at that. World title swinging, almost taunting.

Jeff Hardy swinging.

And Hardy's got the Title.

No, Hardy.

No.

No.

My God.

Hardy.

Straddling the top turnbuckle.

Upside down goes Hardy, his abdomen, his torso turned inside out.

Crowd like us is in a state of near shock of what we're seeing.

>> Speaker 2: Watch the distance.

>> Speaker 1: How close?

Man, you could tear a hamstring.

Hardy lands on his neck.

And look at CM Punk allowing no surcease.

No.

No. Timeouts with a world title in the TLC

match.

>> Speaker 2: This is not a match for the faint of heart, that's for sure.

As Punk.

>> Speaker 1: No, man.

Off their feet.

>> Speaker 2: Well, it's not going to be a smooth landing, I can tell you that.

>> Speaker 1: They're in the danger zone.

I can tell you that right now.

Look at the line.

God.

A superplex from the top turnbuckle.

Punk is hurt, and he delivered the maneuver.

Can only imagine, ladies and gentlemen, how Jeff Hardy.

Spine in.

Back off.

>> Speaker 2: Well, Punk is driven by an undeniable thirst to recapture gold.

And it is on full display right now, driving Punk to links.

We we didn't think possible.

Watch this superplex.

>> Speaker 1: Cataclysmic results.

Listen to the smack.

That's human flesh on that ladder.

And both men are casualties as a result of CM Punk's super class.

And that right there is what it's all about, ladies and gentlemen.

The world heavyweight title still hanging 20ft above the ring.

The worst, this coming from Jeff Hardy.

>> Speaker 2: With a twist of faith just moments after being superplexed under

a steel ladder.

>> Speaker 1: It's just heart adrenaline.

Hardy is no doubt an adrenaline junkie.

He's addicted to it.

>> Speaker 2: Last week, Punk asked Jeff Hardy, do you think you can fly?

Hardy said, I know I can fly.

We may be seeing it right here.

>> Speaker 1: The knees.

CM Punk felt.

Saul reacted to the Swanton bomb by pulling his knees up

to protect himself and then also driving the knees into the back of Jeff Hardy.

Look at this.

>> Speaker 2: The risk taker again.

>> Speaker 1: Punk protected himself and countered simply by pulling his knees up.

And Hardy got there in no man's land.

Again, it's high risk, high reward.

What a knee.

There's a strike.

That's dangerous.

>> Speaker 2: Pump. Going back to basics right now.

But Hardy.

>> Speaker 1: Through the table.

The crash of a human anatomy.

CM Punk was thinking bulldog headlock.

Look at this.

Turnabout, turnaround.

Holding down Jeff Hardy's like trying to pour smoke through a keyhole.

It just can't be done.

>> Speaker 2: But you can tell how much damage has been done to Jeff Hardy's frame

since the World heavyweight champion is barely stirring at this moment.

>> Speaker 1: Both these men are showing amazing guts, amazing form.

Fortitude with the prize still swinging above the ring, still hanging 20ft.

The world heavyweight title.

That's why they're putting their bodies on the line.

That's why Hardy and Punk may never be the same after tonight.

This may be Hardy's best opportunity to claim goal.

Hardy trying to get the ladder stat.

Steady near the and hook hook.

Springboarding off the top.

Knuckle intercepting Hardy's jaunt up to the top.

Jeff landing on the splat right out here in front of us.

And now Punk finding his second win perhaps and finding a chair as well.

Look at that shot.

Punk with the interception.

And now with a steel chair.

And again it's all legal in this environment though.

Punk putting that chair like a noose around Hardy's neck and

taking Hardy to the gallows.

And Hardy responds substance Punk and Punk hits the steel

look like Punk with knees first right into that steel chair.

Across up this Hardy.

Jeff Hardy is going ballistic in defense of his world title.

In defense of his own body and soul in this match.

Spine shattering shots delivered by Jeff Hardy.

What the.

Jeff Hardy has got something.

Hardy's grabbing anything available at this point.

Hardy is taking rearranging ringside.

I have no idea.

Monitor right across the back of CM Punk's skull.

And again it's illegal as far as that steel chair shot.

My God.

Jeff Hardy is having an out of body experience.

What a beat down we're witnessing.

This chair is dented.

Let him see if Punk going to do the Punk is knocked out.

And Hardy perhaps could go claim the title right now.

But instead picks out the biggest ladder I've ever seen.

But what's Hardy going to do with this ladder is the question.

Is Jeff Hardy thinking at this moment about.

Damn question. I don't know what Hardy's thinking.

Come on Jeff, go see him.

Looks to be out cold.

Don't do it.

Go.

My God.

I

don't

believe

what I

just

saw

it.

One, two, three.

Being attended to.

But let's remember this match isn't over.

Hardy refusing medical attention.

Can Jeff Hardy survive the most astonishing things we've ever witnessed.

CM Punk getting to climb one leg.

Hardy trying to to match him rim for run.

The pun's got a head start.

And now Hardy had his fingertips on the title.

Hardy fighting with all his hard to say to retain the world title.

Can Hardian unhook it?

Hooked, go Ramon.

Bad ribs.

Rumbles.

Injured ribs.

And Hardy crashes and burns.

Will it be for the last time?

The shot to the ribs and CM Punk has won the world title.

The winner of this match and

new World Heavyweight Champion, CN Punk.

It was as devastating a TLC match as we've ever seen.

And Punk is victorious.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have witnessed a thrill ride for the ages.

And a new World Heavyweight Champion has been crowned.

CM Punk, clutching the championship,

standing dominantly.

Wow.

What's

Undertaker.

The Undertaker.

Where they.

The Dead man has risen again.

The Demon of Death Valley.

Somehow, some way, has returned to cut short

the celebration of the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Unbelievable.
