[Jim Ross] We welcome you
to WrestleMania.
4
00:00:07,708 --> 00:00:10,143
[Michael Cole] WrestleMania is
WWE's Super Bowl.
5
00:00:10,244 --> 00:00:12,846
Year after year, superstars look
to up the ante
6
00:00:12,913 --> 00:00:13,714
at the show of shows.
7
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:15,516
[Jim Ross] Oh my gosh.
8
00:00:16,216 --> 00:00:18,151
[Michael Cole] Bringing nonstop
excitement again and again.
9
00:00:18,986 --> 00:00:19,953
[Jerry Lawler] Oh.
10
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,955
[Jim Ross] Damn, and Mayweather
wins the match.
11
00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:24,191
[Jerry Lawler] Oh.
12
00:00:24,258 --> 00:00:26,026
[Michael Cole] And audiences
were certainly not prepared
13
00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:29,263
for the breathtaking moments WWE
would deliver
14
00:00:29,329 --> 00:00:30,764
as they entered the
new millennium.
15
00:00:31,465 --> 00:00:32,599
[Jim Ross] Oh, my God.
16
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:34,668
[Michael Cole] Today we look
back at some of the greatest
17
00:00:34,735 --> 00:00:36,670
WrestleMania matches of the
2000s.
18
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:38,605
[Jerry Lawler] I cannot believe
what we've just seen.
19
00:00:39,339 --> 00:00:42,876
[Michael Cole] This is WWE's
Greatest Moments.

00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:48,048
[The Rock] If you smell-
22
00:00:48,115 --> 00:00:49,082
[Michael Cole] Oh, my God.
23
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:51,151
What the hell are you doing?
24
00:00:51,919 --> 00:00:53,153
[Jim Ross] Absolutely
unbelievable.
25
00:00:54,221 --> 00:00:55,789
[Gorilla Monsoon] Hulkamania is
here.
26
00:01:02,629 --> 00:01:03,463
[Michael Cole] Welcome,
everyone,
27
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:05,265
to WWE's Greatest
Moments.
28
00:01:05,332 --> 00:01:07,067
I'm Michael Cole, and on this
edition,
29
00:01:07,167 --> 00:01:09,403
we're looking back at
WrestleMania matches
30
00:01:09,469 --> 00:01:11,471
from one of the most
consequential decades
31
00:01:11,471 --> 00:01:14,107
in WWE history, the 2000s.
32
00:01:15,442 --> 00:01:17,411
[Michael Cole] As WWE
was heading into the new
33
00:01:17,477 --> 00:01:21,048
millennium, two of its grandest
stars would lead the charge.
34
00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:24,384
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin and
The Rock.
35
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:27,521
[The Rock] I got one reason and
one reason only to go inside
36
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:30,057
that ring, and that is to beat
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
37
00:01:30,157 --> 00:01:31,191
It's just that simple.
38
00:01:31,792 --> 00:01:33,427
[Steve Austin] I need to beat
you, Rock.
39
00:01:33,493 --> 00:01:35,963
I need it more than anything
that you can ever imagine.
40
00:01:37,798 --> 00:01:40,701
[Michael Cole] Over 67,000
passionate fans would fill
41
00:01:40,701 --> 00:01:43,470
the Houston Astrodome at
WrestleMania 17
42
00:01:43,537 --> 00:01:46,073
to witness this iconic matchup.
43
00:01:46,807 --> 00:01:48,208
[Steve Austin] There can be only
one.
44
00:01:51,445 --> 00:01:53,647
[Paul Heyman] This, JR,
is the main event.
45
00:01:55,082 --> 00:01:55,949
[Steve Austin] The atmosphere
in the arena
46
00:01:56,016 --> 00:02:00,487
at WrestleMania 17 was
through the roof.
47
00:02:00,554 --> 00:02:04,558
[The Rock] It was important to
me that I was the one
48
00:02:04,624 --> 00:02:09,262
leading the pack, and Steve
Austin sure as hell
49
00:02:09,262 --> 00:02:10,397
didn't want to be second.
50
00:02:11,632 --> 00:02:12,966
[Jim Ross] There was no
stare-down.
51
00:02:13,033 --> 00:02:14,601
There was no trash-talking.
52
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:18,905
These two just got it on in the
most personal of title matches
53
00:02:19,006 --> 00:02:21,108
that I have ever witnessed.
54
00:02:22,109 --> 00:02:24,411
[Bruce Prichard] And it was
the two biggest and best
55
00:02:24,478 --> 00:02:25,912
colliding again.
56
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:30,183
[Steve Austin] The people
hanging on every single move,
57
00:02:30,250 --> 00:02:33,286
waiting to see who was gonna win
this match
58
00:02:33,353 --> 00:02:35,622
because it was damn near 50-50
throughout the whole thing.
59
00:02:37,024 --> 00:02:37,991
[Jim Ross] Stunner.
60
00:02:39,226 --> 00:02:40,827
What the hell's this about?
61
00:02:41,228 --> 00:02:42,429
[Paul Heyman] He handed the
chair
62
00:02:42,496 --> 00:02:45,198
to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
63
00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:47,401
[Jim Ross] What the hell is
this?
64
00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:49,636
[Paul Heyman] It's a new
champion.
65
00:02:49,703 --> 00:02:51,171

66
00:02:51,238 --> 00:02:53,040
[Jim Ross] God Almighty.
67
00:02:54,307 --> 00:02:56,043
[The Rock] And not only do you
become World Champion,
68
00:02:56,109 --> 00:02:58,945
now you align yourself with the
company's top heel.
69
00:02:59,780 --> 00:03:03,250
[Paul Heyman] "Stone Cold" Steve
Austin has sold his soul.
70
00:03:04,918 --> 00:03:06,186
[Steve Austin] When you perform
to the highest level
71
00:03:06,253 --> 00:03:07,788
and you deliver, it's
a great feeling.
72
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:13,326
[Jim Ross] What a contest.
73
00:03:13,393 --> 00:03:16,830
[Michael Cole] In March of 2004,
WWE celebrated the 20-year
74
00:03:16,897 --> 00:03:20,067
anniversary of WrestleMania,
and what better way
75
00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:23,270
to cap it off than with a WWE
Championship match
76
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:24,838
for the ages.
77
00:03:24,905 --> 00:03:29,209
Newly crowned WWE Champion
"Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero,
78
00:03:29,276 --> 00:03:31,912
and the Olympic gold medalist,
Kurt Angle.
79
00:03:31,912 --> 00:03:34,714
Two of the greatest in-ring
competitors at that time.
80
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:39,820
[Eddie Guerrero] I am the WWE
Champion.
81
00:03:40,654 --> 00:03:42,322
[Kurt Angle] And I'll be proud
to take it from you.
82
00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:48,962
[Michael Cole] So, ladies and
gentlemen, for the 20th time,
83
00:03:49,029 --> 00:03:52,099
the WWE title is being defended
at WrestleMania.
84
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,836
[Eddie Guerrero] WrestleMania
XX, I got to wrestle Kurt Angle.
85
00:03:57,671 --> 00:03:58,472
What an honor.
86
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,509
[Michael Cole] Oh, shoulder
knocked down by the champion.
87
00:04:03,176 --> 00:04:04,311
Oh, and another one.
88
00:04:04,377 --> 00:04:05,946
[Kurt Angle] Eddie Guerrero at
his prime was the greatest
89
00:04:06,046 --> 00:04:07,881
wrestler of my time, period.
90
00:04:09,015 --> 00:04:10,150
[Michael Cole] Eddie Guerrero.
91
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:11,318
[Tazz] Oh.
92
00:04:11,384 --> 00:04:12,552
[Michael Cole] Frog Splash
connects.
93
00:04:12,619 --> 00:04:13,553
[Tazz] It's over, baby.
94
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:14,321
[Michael Cole] He's got it.
95
00:04:14,387 --> 00:04:15,021
He's got it.
96
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:15,856
He's got it.
97
00:04:15,956 --> 00:04:16,756
Oh.
98
00:04:16,823 --> 00:04:17,991
[Kurt Angle] When I did wrestle
Eddie,
99
00:04:18,058 --> 00:04:19,392
the matches were five-star.
100
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,061
He was so polished.
101
00:04:21,061 --> 00:04:21,995
[Tazz] Oh.
102
00:04:22,062 --> 00:04:22,896
[Michael Cole] Top rope.
103
00:04:22,996 --> 00:04:24,698
[Kurt Angle] Eddie and I,
we connected.
104
00:04:24,798 --> 00:04:26,199
We understood each other.
105
00:04:26,633 --> 00:04:27,801
Eddie was the most passionate
guy I've ever been
106
00:04:27,868 --> 00:04:28,835
in the ring with.
107
00:04:29,503 --> 00:04:30,270
[Tazz] Tap out, Eddie.
108
00:04:30,337 --> 00:04:31,204
Just-
109
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:31,905
[Michael Cole] To the ankle
lock.
110
00:04:32,005 --> 00:04:32,639
[Tazz] Just tap-
111
00:04:32,706 --> 00:04:34,074
[Michael Cole] Wait a minute.
112
00:04:34,074 --> 00:04:34,674
The boot went flying.
113
00:04:34,741 --> 00:04:35,408
[Tazz] The boot came off.
114
00:04:35,475 --> 00:04:35,909
[Michael Cole] Look at this.
115
00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:36,710
Small package.
116
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:37,844
[Tazz] One, two--
117
00:04:37,911 --> 00:04:38,845
[Michael Cole] Eddie wins.
118
00:04:38,912 --> 00:04:39,546
[bell rings]
119
00:04:39,646 --> 00:04:40,247
[Michael Cole] Eddie wins.
120
00:04:40,313 --> 00:04:40,947
[Tazz] But wait a minute.
121
00:04:40,947 --> 00:04:41,548
[Michael Cole] Eddie wins.
122
00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:42,149
[Tazz] But that's not-
123
00:04:42,215 --> 00:04:42,749
[Michael Cole] Eddie wins.
124
00:04:42,816 --> 00:04:43,550
[Tazz] But he cheated.
125
00:04:44,518 --> 00:04:45,552
[Eddie Guerrero] It's a special
moment
126
00:04:45,619 --> 00:04:47,220
that I'm gonna hold in my life,
127
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,356
because you never know
when it's going to happen again.
128
00:04:50,657 --> 00:04:52,993
[Michael Cole] Eddie Guerrero
outsmarted Kurt Angle.
129
00:04:53,693 --> 00:04:54,694
[Tazz] Tremendous matchup.
130
00:04:57,097 --> 00:04:58,198
[Michael Cole] In the early
2000s,
131
00:04:58,265 --> 00:05:01,067
Trish Stratus was on top of the
wrestling world,
132
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:02,302
but awaiting her was a rivalry
133
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:06,473
unlike anything the WWE Universe
had ever seen before.
134
00:05:07,073 --> 00:05:07,707
[Mickie James] Hi.
135
00:05:07,774 --> 00:05:09,509
Oh, my God, I'm Mickie James.
136
00:05:09,509 --> 00:05:10,310
[Trish Stratus] Hey.
137
00:05:10,377 --> 00:05:11,545
[Mickie James] I'm Raw's newest
diva.
138
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:13,013
[Michael Cole] Newly debuting
superstar, Mickie James,
139
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:16,383
was a self-proclaimed Trish
Stratus superfan,
140
00:05:16,483 --> 00:05:17,984
but her obsession became
too much
141
00:05:18,051 --> 00:05:20,587
for the queen of
Stratusfaction to handle.
142
00:05:21,454 --> 00:05:22,856
[Trish Stratus] You and I, we
just-
143
00:05:22,956 --> 00:05:24,057
we just need some time apart.
144
00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:25,225
All right?
145
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:26,259
[Jim Ross] Mickie's a little
overzealous sometimes
146
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:27,694
with her passion.
147
00:05:27,794 --> 00:05:28,995
[Michael Cole] When her idol
rejected her,
148
00:05:29,062 --> 00:05:31,431
James was absolutely furious.
149
00:05:32,265 --> 00:05:33,466
[Mickie James] Do you love me
now?
150
00:05:33,533 --> 00:05:35,235
[Michael Cole] And her rage
fueled a confrontation between
151
00:05:35,302 --> 00:05:39,506
them that culminated in the show
of shows, WrestleMania 22.
152
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:43,410
[Jillian Garcia] The following
contest is for
153
00:05:43,476 --> 00:05:46,613
the WWE Women's
Championship.
154
00:05:47,614 --> 00:05:49,783
[The Miz] Superfan that becomes
the worst enemy,
155
00:05:50,584 --> 00:05:53,553
and at WrestleMania, it came to
fruition.
156
00:05:54,454 --> 00:05:56,122
[Jim Ross] Trish has been in the
ring with the greatest
157
00:05:56,189 --> 00:06:00,961
competitors in the WWE, but no
one as unpredictable-
158
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:01,862
[Michael Cole] Man.
159
00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:02,629
[Jim Ross] -as Mickie James.
160
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:03,897
[Mickie James] It was real
emotion.
161
00:06:03,997 --> 00:06:06,233
People really felt one way or
the other, to the point where
162
00:06:06,299 --> 00:06:08,201
some people were cheering me,
which was,
163
00:06:08,268 --> 00:06:09,636
"What is happening here?"
164
00:06:10,337 --> 00:06:11,571
[Jerry Lawler] A lot of these
fans are actually
165
00:06:11,638 --> 00:06:13,573
identifying with Mickie James.
166
00:06:14,007 --> 00:06:15,041
[Xavier Woods] That's the only
reason I bought
167
00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:16,343
that Mania that year.
168
00:06:16,443 --> 00:06:19,546
As a young boy, wanting to see
the-the culmination
169
00:06:19,646 --> 00:06:22,916
of this wrestling story
between these two women,
170
00:06:22,983 --> 00:06:25,785
I feel like that's a great
thing in the evolution
171
00:06:25,852 --> 00:06:27,020
of women's wrestling.
172
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,021
[Jim Ross] Oh.
173
00:06:28,088 --> 00:06:30,390
Mickie James may be the new
champ.
174
00:06:30,457 --> 00:06:31,558
Will it be enough?
175
00:06:31,625 --> 00:06:32,325
[Jerry Lawler] What?
176
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:33,059
[Jim Ross] Yes, it is.
177
00:06:33,159 --> 00:06:33,827
[bell rings]
178
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:34,794
[Jerry Lawler] Wait
a minute.
179
00:06:34,861 --> 00:06:35,862
[Jim Ross] We've got a new
champion.
180
00:06:35,862 --> 00:06:36,896
[Trish Stratus] To have a
WrestleMania moment,
181
00:06:36,997 --> 00:06:38,231
to have a WrestleMania match,
we were pretty much
182
00:06:38,298 --> 00:06:41,835
at the highest point we've been
for the women in our company.
183
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:43,703
[The Miz] It's one of those
matches that you look at,
184
00:06:43,803 --> 00:06:46,406
and you go, "Wow,
like, let's go."
185
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:48,475
[Jim Ross] Mickie James has won
the women's title.
186
00:06:52,512 --> 00:06:54,114
[Michael Cole] The Dudleys, the
Hardys, and Edge and Christian
187
00:06:54,114 --> 00:06:57,384
never disappointed the WWE
Universe
188
00:06:57,384 --> 00:06:58,818
when pitted against each other,
189
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:01,288
and when the stakes were
raised, so was the energy.
190
00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:02,989
[Jerry Lawler] What the heck?
191
00:07:03,056 --> 00:07:05,058
[Michael Cole] As these six
superstars were set
192
00:07:05,158 --> 00:07:07,594
to compete in a triangle
ladder match.
193
00:07:07,661 --> 00:07:11,064
With the tag team championships
hanging high above the ring,
194
00:07:11,131 --> 00:07:13,667
the three hottest tag teams
of the era would step foot
195
00:07:13,733 --> 00:07:15,769
on the grandest
stage of them all.
196
00:07:15,835 --> 00:07:20,674
What followed would alter the
landscape of WWE forever.
197
00:07:24,311 --> 00:07:27,447
[Jim Ross] This should be an
amazing offensive display.
198
00:07:28,081 --> 00:07:29,449
[Jerry Lawler] You can expect
some high-risk maneuvers
199
00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:30,817
like we've never seen before.
200
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:32,886
[Edge] It's competitive.
201
00:07:32,952 --> 00:07:34,487
Everybody's pushing each other
to have the best match
202
00:07:34,554 --> 00:07:35,388
of the night.
203
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:37,057
"Okay, we better tear it up."
204
00:07:37,157 --> 00:07:40,460
[Jim Ross] This is some
unbelievable innovation
205
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,063
with these three ladders
now in the ring.
206
00:07:43,897 --> 00:07:45,498
[Bubba Ray Dudley] The Hardys
and Edge and Christian
207
00:07:45,598 --> 00:07:47,667
had already done the ladder
match,
208
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:52,038
so we wanted to introduce the
other aspects using the tables.
209
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:53,873
[Jim Ross] Dualing tables.
210
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:54,908
Double carnage.
211
00:07:56,242 --> 00:07:58,645
[D-Von Dudley] We went out and
beat the hell out of each other.
212
00:07:59,179 --> 00:08:00,146
[Matt Hardy] All that stuff is
so memorable
213
00:08:00,246 --> 00:08:02,082
because we were the
first ones to do it.
214
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:03,550
[Jeff Hardy] You've made it to
WrestleMania,
215
00:08:03,550 --> 00:08:05,552
you gotta try to ride that wave
wherever it takes you.
216
00:08:05,618 --> 00:08:07,587
[Jim Ross] Oh, for God's sakes,
don't do it, Jeff.
217
00:08:07,587 --> 00:08:12,625
[Jeff Hardy] It's a very insane,
uh, risk versus reward scenario,
218
00:08:12,625 --> 00:08:14,260
but for the most part, there was
no hesitation.
219
00:08:15,428 --> 00:08:19,265
[Jim Ross] Swanton Bomb, top of
the ladder to the floor.
220
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:21,968
[Jeff Hardy] We just continued
to elevate the standards for,
221
00:08:22,035 --> 00:08:23,503
like, what that match could be.
222
00:08:23,603 --> 00:08:25,271
And I think our legacy will have
a lot to do
223
00:08:25,338 --> 00:08:26,439
with the ladder match.
224
00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:27,374
[Jim Ross] Matt Hardy, it's
all--
225
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,208
[Jerry Lawler] Oh.
226
00:08:28,274 --> 00:08:29,242
[Jim Ross] Oh, no.
227
00:08:29,309 --> 00:08:31,344
Edge pushed Matt right through
the table.
228
00:08:31,911 --> 00:08:33,513
Edge and Christian.
229
00:08:33,580 --> 00:08:34,681
Edge and Christian.
230
00:08:34,748 --> 00:08:36,149
Edge and Christian have won it.
231
00:08:37,584 --> 00:08:39,219
[Edge] Man, the six of
us just killed it.
232
00:08:39,319 --> 00:08:40,720
We crushed that.
233
00:08:40,787 --> 00:08:44,724
And then that, to me, was the
first instance of understanding
234
00:08:44,791 --> 00:08:48,194
like, "Okay, we are all a part
of something that is important
235
00:08:48,261 --> 00:08:49,429
to the product now."
236
00:08:50,797 --> 00:08:54,000
[Jim Ross] Edge and Christian
are the new Tag Team Champions.
237
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:57,637
[Michael Cole] For over a decade
and a half,
238
00:08:57,704 --> 00:08:59,706
The Undertaker was
a dominant force.
239
00:08:59,806 --> 00:09:01,608
He had achieved nearly
everything
240
00:09:01,674 --> 00:09:04,544
a WWE superstar could
ever dream of.
241
00:09:04,644 --> 00:09:08,615
2007, The Deadman would win his
first Royal Rumble match.
242
00:09:09,282 --> 00:09:12,786
[Michael Cole] Undertaker is
going to WrestleMania.
243
00:09:12,852 --> 00:09:16,189
It didn't take long for The
Phenom to defiantly choose
244
00:09:16,256 --> 00:09:20,560
a shot at Batista's WWE World
Heavyweight Championship.
245
00:09:21,661 --> 00:09:24,798
[The Undertaker] Batista, at
WrestleMania,
246
00:09:24,864 --> 00:09:34,040
your reign as champion
will rest in peace.
247
00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:42,015
[Teddy Long] This match is for
the World Heavyweight
248
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,350
Championship.
249
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:46,753
[Batista] WrestleMania always
means a lot, so to go in such a
250
00:09:46,820 --> 00:09:48,822
huge match, it ended up
being really special
251
00:09:48,888 --> 00:09:49,956
because it's a
world title match.
252
00:09:51,224 --> 00:09:53,326
[JBL] We are about to see
something that might get ugly,
253
00:09:53,393 --> 00:09:56,096
but we're about to watch one
hell of a fight.
254
00:09:56,196 --> 00:09:57,464
[bell rings]
255
00:09:57,464 --> 00:09:58,465
[The Undertaker] There's a lot
of pressure
256
00:09:58,531 --> 00:09:59,666
that comes
with WrestleMania.
257
00:09:59,666 --> 00:10:00,667
It's big time.
258
00:10:00,733 --> 00:10:02,102
Man, it is.
259
00:10:02,535 --> 00:10:04,871
[Michael Cole] Undertaker
measuring the champion,
260
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:05,905
flying through the air.
261
00:10:06,005 --> 00:10:07,874
And the 300-pounder.
262
00:10:07,874 --> 00:10:09,676
[JBL] That is what
WrestleMania's all about.
263
00:10:10,477 --> 00:10:13,313
[Batista] I felt like I was
doing things instinctively
264
00:10:13,379 --> 00:10:14,681
and without thought.
265
00:10:15,114 --> 00:10:17,250
I felt like I held my own with
Undertaker.
266
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:20,553
We gave the crowd the match of
the night.
267
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:23,356
[JBL] Two great warriors going
for all the gold
268
00:10:23,423 --> 00:10:26,059
is what it's all about.
269
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:27,393
[Michael Cole] Undertaker.
270
00:10:27,861 --> 00:10:29,262
Look at this.
271
00:10:29,262 --> 00:10:31,865
Tombstone Piledriver.
272
00:10:31,931 --> 00:10:32,866
[JBL] Wow.
273
00:10:32,932 --> 00:10:34,400
[Michael Cole] There's two.
274
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:35,435
[bell rings]
275
00:10:35,502 --> 00:10:37,237
[Michael Cole] We have a new
world champion.
276
00:10:38,271 --> 00:10:40,640
[The Undertaker] You have two
guys that respect each other.
277
00:10:40,707 --> 00:10:42,275
They're at the top of their
games.
278
00:10:42,342 --> 00:10:43,810
You can't ask for more than
that.
279
00:10:43,877 --> 00:10:46,212
[Michael Cole] 15-0 at
WrestleMania.
280
00:10:49,916 --> 00:10:50,783
[Michael Cole] It was clear from
day one
281
00:10:50,850 --> 00:10:52,418
that Randy Orton was a
special talent.
282
00:10:53,186 --> 00:10:56,789
Transforming from an eager
rookie into a brash superstar,
283
00:10:57,624 --> 00:11:00,593
Orton quickly made a name for
himself by targeting WWE
284
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:04,197
legends, including "The Deadman"
The Undertaker.
285
00:11:05,431 --> 00:11:07,200
[Randy Orton] At WrestleMania
21,
286
00:11:07,267 --> 00:11:10,570
the legend of The Undertaker
will become a myth.
287
00:11:11,204 --> 00:11:15,642
[The Undertaker] Randy Orton
will rest in peace.
288
00:11:20,547 --> 00:11:22,315
[bell rings]
289
00:11:22,315 --> 00:11:23,750
[Michael Cole] It is
the legend versus
290
00:11:23,816 --> 00:11:25,552
"The Legend Killer".
291
00:11:26,119 --> 00:11:28,488
[Randy Orton] Randy Orton "The
Legend Killer" being in the ring
292
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:30,823
with The Undertaker,
that's huge.
293
00:11:31,958 --> 00:11:34,427
[Michael Cole] He's young, he's
brash, he's arrogant,
294
00:11:34,427 --> 00:11:35,962
and he is good.
295
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:37,463
[The Undertaker] Here I have
this young guy
296
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:40,833
who obviously is a huge
star already.
297
00:11:41,434 --> 00:11:42,368
[Michael Cole] Oh, my.
298
00:11:42,435 --> 00:11:43,670
[Tazz] Orton is going for a
ride.
299
00:11:43,736 --> 00:11:45,471
[Michael Cole] Into an RKO.
300
00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:46,472
[Tazz] Oh, man.
301
00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:47,507
[The Undertaker] He stepped up
and delivered
302
00:11:47,607 --> 00:11:48,808
on the grandest stage of all.
303
00:11:48,875 --> 00:11:50,109
[Tazz] Here it is.
304
00:11:50,109 --> 00:11:51,144
[Michael Cole] Here's the cover.
305
00:11:51,244 --> 00:11:52,212
[Tazz] Oh.
306
00:11:52,278 --> 00:11:52,879
[Michael Cole] And Undertaker
kicked out.
307
00:11:54,747 --> 00:11:55,915
He's going for the Tombstone.
308
00:11:55,982 --> 00:11:56,749
[Tazz] Uh-oh.
309
00:11:56,816 --> 00:11:57,684
Oh, no.
310
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:58,718
What the hell?
311
00:11:58,785 --> 00:12:00,086
[Michael Cole] And Undertaker
reversed it.
312
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:02,155
[bell rings]
313
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:03,089
[Michael Cole] 13-0-
314
00:12:03,156 --> 00:12:03,990
[Tazz] What a match.
315
00:12:04,090 --> 00:12:05,658
[Michael Cole] -for The
Undertaker.
316
00:12:05,758 --> 00:12:07,193
[Tazz] An amazing match right
there.
317
00:12:07,260 --> 00:12:08,595
That was awesome.
318
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:15,335
[Michael Cole] 2006 saw Rey
Mysterio overcome every odd
319
00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:18,605
and win the Royal Rumble
from the number two spot.
320
00:12:18,671 --> 00:12:19,472
[bell rings]
321
00:12:19,472 --> 00:12:20,673
[Jerry Lawler] Oh.
322
00:12:20,673 --> 00:12:22,642
[Michael Cole] Rey Mysterio is
going to WrestleMania.
323
00:12:23,309 --> 00:12:26,279
Mysterio knew he only had one
thing left to do.
324
00:12:26,346 --> 00:12:28,348
Win the whole darn thing.
325
00:12:29,315 --> 00:12:31,918
[Rey Mysterio] I hope I make you
even more proud when I go out
326
00:12:31,985 --> 00:12:37,023
to WrestleMania and win the
World Heavyweight Championship.
327
00:12:37,023 --> 00:12:39,058
[crowd cheers]
328
00:12:39,158 --> 00:12:40,360
[Michael Cole] Rey was
determined to win
329
00:12:40,493 --> 00:12:44,163
the world title in memory of his
best friend, Eddie Guerrero,
330
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:46,032
who passed away a
few months prior.
331
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:48,167
And to do so, the legendary
luchador was faced
332
00:12:48,234 --> 00:12:50,169
with a near-impossible task.
333
00:12:50,236 --> 00:12:53,072
Taking on both Kurt Angle and
Randy Orton in a triple threat
334
00:12:53,072 --> 00:12:56,943
match for the World Heavyweight
Championship.
335
00:12:57,043 --> 00:12:59,812
It is one of the most emotional
matches
336
00:12:59,879 --> 00:13:02,315
I've ever had the
honor of calling.
337
00:13:05,718 --> 00:13:08,221
[Tony Chimel] The following
contest is a triple threat match
338
00:13:08,321 --> 00:13:13,026
scheduled for one fall and it is
for the World Heavyweight
339
00:13:13,092 --> 00:13:14,394
Championship.
340
00:13:15,161 --> 00:13:19,265
[Rey Mysterio] WrestleMania 22
was the peak of my career,
341
00:13:19,332 --> 00:13:22,035
and a tribute to Eddie.
342
00:13:22,035 --> 00:13:23,503
He saw me from the heavens.
343
00:13:24,270 --> 00:13:25,438
[Tazz] Oh, my God.
344
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:27,006
[Jim Ross] There's the dropkick,
working on the smaller man.
345
00:13:27,073 --> 00:13:28,775
Double German Suplex.
346
00:13:28,841 --> 00:13:31,077
[Tazz] Oh, my God.
347
00:13:31,711 --> 00:13:33,513
[Michael Cole] Randy Orton
whipped.
348
00:13:33,513 --> 00:13:35,314
[Kurt Angle] Any fan that
watches knows
349
00:13:35,314 --> 00:13:36,616
that he can beat
you at any moment.
350
00:13:37,116 --> 00:13:40,420
He has that, "I can overcome
that."
351
00:13:42,021 --> 00:13:42,622
[Michael Cole] Mysterio.
352
00:13:42,722 --> 00:13:43,423
[Tazz] Watch out.
353
00:13:43,423 --> 00:13:44,324
[Michael Cole] Seated Senton.
354
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:45,191
[Tazz] Look at this guy.
355
00:13:45,258 --> 00:13:46,125
[Michael Cole] Jackknife cover-
356
00:13:46,192 --> 00:13:46,826
[Tazz] A new champion.
357
00:13:46,893 --> 00:13:47,460
He got it.
358
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:48,394
Oh.
359
00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:49,395
[Michael Cole] A kick out at two
again.
360
00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:50,630
[Liv Morgan] You had no idea who
was gonna win.
361
00:13:50,697 --> 00:13:52,231
Everyone was on the edge of
their seats
362
00:13:52,298 --> 00:13:53,266
the whole entire time.
363
00:13:53,933 --> 00:13:54,767
[Tazz] Springboard.
364
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:55,568
Wow.
365
00:13:55,635 --> 00:13:58,004
One, two.
366
00:13:58,071 --> 00:13:58,971
He got it.
367
00:13:59,038 --> 00:13:59,772
[bell rings]
368
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:00,440
[Michael Cole] He got him.
369
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:01,207
He got him.
370
00:14:01,274 --> 00:14:02,275
Oh my.
371
00:14:02,275 --> 00:14:04,210
Mysterio wins the title.
372
00:14:05,111 --> 00:14:06,412
[Rey Mysterio] We're not here
forever.
373
00:14:06,479 --> 00:14:08,915
We have to make the best out of
each and every moment
374
00:14:08,915 --> 00:14:10,750
'cause you don't know if it's
gonna come back again.
375
00:14:12,518 --> 00:14:17,390
Eddie would have loved to have
seen me as a champion.
376
00:14:18,358 --> 00:14:20,626
[Michael Cole] Dreams will be
indeed come true.
377
00:14:20,626 --> 00:14:24,764
Rey Mysterio is the World
Heavyweight Champion.
378
00:14:28,434 --> 00:14:30,169
[Michael Cole] Arguably
the greatest of all time,
379
00:14:30,236 --> 00:14:34,440
Ric Flair had an in-ring career
that spanned over 30 years.
380
00:14:35,074 --> 00:14:38,311
In 2008, The Nature Boy was
reaching the end of the line
381
00:14:38,311 --> 00:14:39,679
as a WWE superstar.
382
00:14:40,346 --> 00:14:45,184
[Mr McMahon] The first match
you lose, your career is over.
383
00:14:45,251 --> 00:14:46,753
[Michael Cole] Flair was more
resilient than ever,
384
00:14:46,819 --> 00:14:48,388
issuing a challenge
to Shawn Michaels.
385
00:14:49,322 --> 00:14:51,257
[Shawn Michaels] It would be my
honor to wrestle you
386
00:14:51,357 --> 00:14:52,392
at WrestleMania.
387
00:14:53,392 --> 00:14:55,027
[Michael Cole] One night, after
being immortalized
388
00:14:55,027 --> 00:14:57,430
in the WWE Hall of Fame-
389
00:14:57,497 --> 00:14:58,965
[Ric Flair] Woo.
390
00:14:59,031 --> 00:15:00,233
[Michael Cole] -Flair was
face-to-face
391
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:01,968
with Mr. WrestleMania.
392
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:07,640
[Jim Ross] The time has come for
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair
393
00:15:07,707 --> 00:15:10,877
to put his career on the
line against Shawn Michaels.
394
00:15:12,512 --> 00:15:14,714
[Ric Flair] The biggest moment
in my wrestling career
395
00:15:14,781 --> 00:15:17,383
was Shawn and me
in my retirement.
396
00:15:17,483 --> 00:15:19,619
[Jerry Lawler] Flair wanted to
be in the ring with the best.
397
00:15:22,121 --> 00:15:23,156
[Jim Ross] Oh, good grief.
398
00:15:23,222 --> 00:15:24,390
Flair's gotta capitalize here
early.
399
00:15:26,626 --> 00:15:28,728
Michaels explodes with a
forearm.
400
00:15:28,795 --> 00:15:29,929
[Jerry Lawler] Oh.
401
00:15:29,996 --> 00:15:32,064
[Shawn Michaels] Given all the
amazing things he had done
402
00:15:32,131 --> 00:15:35,234
in his career, it needed to be
extra special.
403
00:15:35,234 --> 00:15:37,103
[Jim Ross] God's sakes.
404
00:15:37,203 --> 00:15:39,372
Flair's got the figure-four.
405
00:15:40,072 --> 00:15:41,440
Michaels too close to the ropes.
406
00:15:42,408 --> 00:15:43,609
The Showstopper.
407
00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:44,644
Hits with the elbow.
408
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:46,813
[Paul Levesque] Shawn was the
perfect guy to do it.
409
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:48,548
It's the emotion that he puts
into things.
410
00:15:51,818 --> 00:15:53,152
[Jim Ross] Oh, my God, what a
shot.
411
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,189
[Shawn Michaels] That was just
me sort of telling Ric
412
00:15:56,255 --> 00:15:57,790
I think the world of him.
413
00:15:58,291 --> 00:15:59,826
[Jim Ross] Michaels, will it be?
414
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:00,993
Yes.
415
00:16:02,695 --> 00:16:04,831
[Ric Flair] He said, "I love
you."
416
00:16:05,264 --> 00:16:06,566
It's a great moment in
wrestling.
417
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:07,700
I don't care what anybody says.
418
00:16:07,834 --> 00:16:10,436
[Jim Ross] The greatest to ever
lace a pair of boots.
419
00:16:16,008 --> 00:16:17,176
[Michael Cole] As the decades
pass,
420
00:16:17,243 --> 00:16:18,945
WWE sees new faces that capture
the attention
421
00:16:19,045 --> 00:16:22,882
of the WWE Universe and usher
the company into new eras.
422
00:16:23,749 --> 00:16:27,086
In the early 2000s, The Rock was
just that face,
423
00:16:27,153 --> 00:16:28,988
but The Brahma Bull wasn't
the first to have
424
00:16:29,055 --> 00:16:32,325
the WWE Universe in the
palm of his hand.
425
00:16:33,426 --> 00:16:35,761
That honor went to "The
Immortal" Hulk Hogan.
426
00:16:36,796 --> 00:16:39,565
The Hulkster had recently made
his return to WWE
427
00:16:39,632 --> 00:16:41,434
as part of the villainous
New World Order.
428
00:16:42,101 --> 00:16:44,237
[The Rock] How do you feel about
headlining one more
429
00:16:44,303 --> 00:16:45,838
WrestleMania with The Rock?
430
00:16:49,141 --> 00:16:50,109
[Hulk Hogan] Yes.
431
00:16:56,716 --> 00:16:57,984
[Jim Ross] And look at
the flashbulbs.
432
00:17:00,152 --> 00:17:01,921
This is a WrestleMania moment.
433
00:17:03,356 --> 00:17:04,824
[Hulk Hogan] That stare down
with The Rock was magic.
434
00:17:05,658 --> 00:17:07,593
Once that happened,
I knew-
435
00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:08,961
I knew the match
was gonna work.
436
00:17:11,230 --> 00:17:16,736
[The Rock] 60,000-plus fans at
the SkyDome going crazy.
437
00:17:17,570 --> 00:17:18,638
[Jerry Lawler] Oh.
438
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:19,839
[Jim Ross] Oh, the power of
Hogan.
439
00:17:21,207 --> 00:17:22,308
[Jerry Lawler] I don't know, JR,
if this is nostalgia or what,
440
00:17:22,408 --> 00:17:23,309
but it's amazing that-
441
00:17:23,409 --> 00:17:24,377
[Jim Ross] Oh,
442
00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:25,444
[Jerry Lawler] -this crowd is so
solidly behind-
443
00:17:25,511 --> 00:17:26,145
[Jim Ross] Man.
444
00:17:26,245 --> 00:17:27,446
[Jerry Lawler] -Hulk.
445
00:17:27,546 --> 00:17:28,714
[Hulk Hogan] I thought for sure
they'd be booing me and throwing
446
00:17:28,714 --> 00:17:31,183
stuff at me and trying to get at
me and kill me.
447
00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:35,187
These people love you more than
you ever imagined they would.
448
00:17:35,254 --> 00:17:36,289
[Jim Ross] The Rock Bottom.
449
00:17:38,457 --> 00:17:39,992
My God, Hogan kicked out-
450
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:40,927
[Jerry Lawler] Look at this.
451
00:17:40,993 --> 00:17:41,794
[Jim Ross] -of the Rock Bottom.
452
00:17:41,994 --> 00:17:43,029
[Jerry Lawler] Is he gonna Hulk
Up, JR?
453
00:17:43,763 --> 00:17:44,597
He is.
454
00:17:44,664 --> 00:17:45,631
Oh, he got it.
455
00:17:45,698 --> 00:17:46,499
[Jim Ross] The big Leg Drop.
456
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:47,600
The leg is hooked.
457
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:49,035
Oh, my God.
458
00:17:49,035 --> 00:17:50,369
My God, The Rock kicked out.
459
00:17:51,237 --> 00:17:53,773
[Kevin Owens] People were really
just engrossed in the match
460
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:55,274
like I've never seen before.
461
00:17:56,676 --> 00:17:59,245
[Jim Ross] Rock with the
People's Elbow on Hogan.
462
00:17:59,312 --> 00:18:00,613
[Jerry Lawler] Oh.
463
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,514
[bell rings]
464
00:18:01,514 --> 00:18:03,616
[Jim Ross] And The
Rock wins it.
465
00:18:03,683 --> 00:18:06,953
[The Rock] What that meant to
me, I'm grateful to Hulk.
466
00:18:08,521 --> 00:18:10,222
[Jim Ross] This match lived up
to the hype.
467
00:18:10,656 --> 00:18:12,825
[Jerry Lawler] It didn't live up
to it, it far surpassed it.
468
00:18:15,661 --> 00:18:17,964
[Michael Cole] It's now time for
our number one moment,
469
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:19,765
and it's the one that is widely
considered the greatest
470
00:18:19,832 --> 00:18:22,368
WrestleMania match of all time.
471
00:18:22,868 --> 00:18:25,671
The Undertaker's undefeated
streak at WrestleMania was one
472
00:18:25,738 --> 00:18:29,075
of the most impressive feats a
superstar has ever achieved.
473
00:18:29,075 --> 00:18:31,277
[Mr. McMahon] A man who's never
lost at WrestleMania.
474
00:18:31,344 --> 00:18:32,712
[Jim Ross] 9 and 0.
475
00:18:32,712 --> 00:18:33,546
[Bobby Heenan] You can't stop
him.
476
00:18:33,646 --> 00:18:34,714
[Jim Ross] 12 and 0.
477
00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:37,216
[Michael Cole] 15 and 0.
478
00:18:37,283 --> 00:18:40,486
[JBL] The greatest streak alive.
479
00:18:40,553 --> 00:18:42,555
[Michael Cole] At WrestleMania
25, The Deadman's challenger
480
00:18:42,622 --> 00:18:46,325
was none other than
Mr. WrestleMania himself,
481
00:18:46,392 --> 00:18:47,393
Shawn Michaels.
482
00:18:48,561 --> 00:18:51,564
[Shawn Michaels] You may be 16
and 0 at WrestleMania,
483
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:53,699
but I am Mr. WrestleMania.
484
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:57,670
[Michael Cole] HBK would attempt
slaying the streak in a match
485
00:18:57,770 --> 00:19:01,440
that literally saw heaven and
hell colliding.
486
00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:07,279
[Jim Ross] Can Michaels hand
the first loss ever on
487
00:19:07,346 --> 00:19:10,683
The Undertaker has been the
question on everyone's mind.
488
00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:15,488
[Michael Cole] And Michaels
kicked out.
489
00:19:15,554 --> 00:19:16,188
[Jerry Lawler] Oh.
490
00:19:16,188 --> 00:19:16,789
[Jim Ross] Oh, God.
491
00:19:16,856 --> 00:19:17,356
[Undertaker] It was magical.
492
00:19:17,423 --> 00:19:19,025
The stars aligned.
493
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,826
You just know when you're
out there-
494
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:21,927
we are killin' this.
495
00:19:23,029 --> 00:19:24,230
[Michael Cole] Oh, and a kick
out again.
496
00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:25,297
[Jerry Lawler] Impossible.
497
00:19:25,831 --> 00:19:27,299
[Steve Austin] Storytelling is
what we do.
498
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,401
[Jim Ross] Oh, my God.
499
00:19:28,467 --> 00:19:29,035
[Michael Cole] Oh, my.
500
00:19:29,101 --> 00:19:30,136
[Jim Ross] Oh, my God.
501
00:19:30,202 --> 00:19:31,971
[Steve Austin] It was just
amazing that it happened
502
00:19:32,038 --> 00:19:33,873
on the grandest stage of all.
503
00:19:33,939 --> 00:19:35,074
[Michael Cole] And Undertaker
made it back.
504
00:19:35,074 --> 00:19:35,975
[Jerry Lawler] He's back in the
ring.
505
00:19:36,042 --> 00:19:37,843
[Michael Cole] The streak's
alive.
506
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:39,712
[Shawn Michaels] The end-all
be-all of doing this job
507
00:19:39,712 --> 00:19:42,415
is just creating a
glimmer of doubt.
508
00:19:43,315 --> 00:19:44,116
[Jerry Lawler] There it is.
509
00:19:44,283 --> 00:19:45,117
[Michael Cole] Sweet Chin Music
again.
510
00:19:45,251 --> 00:19:47,319
[Jerry Lawler] Kiss the streak
goodbye.
511
00:19:47,386 --> 00:19:49,155
[Michael Cole] And again.
512
00:19:50,056 --> 00:19:51,323
[Paul Levesque] That's probably
the greatest match
513
00:19:51,390 --> 00:19:53,659
I've ever seen.
514
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,262
[Jim Ross] Michaels caught in
mid air.
515
00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:57,563
Tombstone.
516
00:19:57,630 --> 00:19:58,397
[Jerry Lawler] He did it.
517
00:19:58,464 --> 00:19:59,065
