1
00:00:01,034 --> 00:00:03,437
Welcome, everyone,
to the Royal Rumble.
2
00:00:04,671 --> 00:00:07,506
The Royal
Rumble, the annual 30-superstar
3
00:00:07,506 --> 00:00:11,077
spectacular that has become a
highlight on the WWE calendar
4
00:00:11,077 --> 00:00:12,478
for nearly 40 years.
5
00:00:13,146 --> 00:00:14,814
Every man for
himself.
6
00:00:15,515 --> 00:00:17,885
And the Rumble
events of the 2000s showcased
7
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:19,853
some of the event's greatest
highlights.
8
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:22,189
From awe-inspiring feats-
9
00:00:22,189 --> 00:00:23,489
Whoa, look at
this.
10
00:00:23,489 --> 00:00:24,524
Look at this.
11
00:00:24,524 --> 00:00:26,627
to jaw-dropping
returns-
12
00:00:26,627 --> 00:00:29,630
John
Cena is number 30.
13
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:31,832
to
career-defining victories.
14
00:00:31,832 --> 00:00:34,734
Triple H is going to
WrestleMania.
15
00:00:34,734 --> 00:00:36,435
The decade
captures the unpredictable
16
00:00:36,435 --> 00:00:38,671
nature that makes WWE so
incredibly special.
17
00:00:38,671 --> 00:00:40,840
Oh, the Big Show's
over.
18
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:41,774
What?
19
00:00:41,774 --> 00:00:43,109
The Rock has won the
Rumble.
20
00:00:43,109 --> 00:00:44,744
Today we look
back at the best Royal Rumble
21
00:00:44,744 --> 00:00:46,746
moments of the 2000s.
22
00:00:46,746 --> 00:00:49,950
This is WWE's Greatest Moments.
23
00:00:52,585 --> 00:00:54,620
If you smell--
24
00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:55,922
Oh, my God.
25
00:00:55,922 --> 00:00:57,758
What the hell are you doing?
26
00:00:57,758 --> 00:01:00,660
Absolutely
unbelievable.
27
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:02,395
Hulkamania is
here.
28
00:01:08,901 --> 00:01:09,669
Welcome,
everyone,
29
00:01:09,669 --> 00:01:11,138
{\an8}to WWE's Greatest Moments.
30
00:01:11,138 --> 00:01:13,674
{\an8}I'm Michael Cole, and on this
edition, we're looking back at
31
00:01:13,674 --> 00:01:17,677
{\an8}some of the most iconic Royal
Rumble moments of the 2000s.
32
00:01:17,677 --> 00:01:20,379
The rules of a Royal Rumble
match are simple.
33
00:01:20,379 --> 00:01:24,684
Beginning with two superstars, a
new superstar joins the fray at
34
00:01:24,684 --> 00:01:29,156
equally timed intervals, until
all 30 competitors have entered.
35
00:01:29,156 --> 00:01:32,225
Participants aim to eliminate
their opponents by throwing them
36
00:01:32,225 --> 00:01:35,561
over the top rope with both feet
touching the floor with the
37
00:01:35,561 --> 00:01:39,398
prize being a World Championship
opportunity at the grandest
38
00:01:39,398 --> 00:01:41,668
stage of theme all,
WrestleMania.
39
00:01:42,335 --> 00:01:44,438
Bayley's going to
WrestleMania.
40
00:01:45,338 --> 00:01:47,840
There have been
plenty of dominant performers in
41
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,511
Rumble match history, but in the
2001 Royal Rumble, "The Big
42
00:01:51,511 --> 00:01:53,680
Red Machine" Kane showed
us just how much
43
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,581
of a monster he truly is.
44
00:01:59,085 --> 00:02:02,388
{\an8}Number six, "The
Big Red Machine" Kane.
45
00:02:02,855 --> 00:02:04,123
{\an8}Kane was so
dominant
46
00:02:04,123 --> 00:02:06,126
{\an8}in the 2001 Royal Rumble.
47
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:07,194
What power.
48
00:02:07,194 --> 00:02:08,428
My God, what strength.
49
00:02:08,428 --> 00:02:10,597
Kane is cleaning house, King.
50
00:02:10,597 --> 00:02:13,032
Great opportunity
for that character
51
00:02:13,032 --> 00:02:15,235
to play to its strengths.
52
00:02:16,203 --> 00:02:17,204
Oh, God.
53
00:02:17,204 --> 00:02:19,173
Good grief.
54
00:02:19,706 --> 00:02:20,907
{\an8}When Kane
showed up,
55
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:22,142
{\an8}he was unstoppable, unbeatable.
56
00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:24,444
The Royal Rumble match
was a pretty definitive moment
57
00:02:24,444 --> 00:02:26,947
{\an8}in Kane's career, actually.
58
00:02:26,947 --> 00:02:29,917
The Big Red Machine
is going crazy here.
59
00:02:29,917 --> 00:02:32,319
Oh, oh, Kane eliminated The
Rock.
60
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:33,520
The Rock's out.
61
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,222
He's having this
legendary day where he
62
00:02:35,222 --> 00:02:37,824
eliminates, I believe, 11
competitors?
63
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:41,094
Kane has eliminated
more people in the Royal Rumble
64
00:02:41,094 --> 00:02:44,431
than any competitor in history,
11.
65
00:02:44,431 --> 00:02:45,666
{\an8}In that time,
setting a record for Kane is
66
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:47,800
{\an8}definitely going to be one
that's going to live in his
67
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,204
memory for many, many years.
68
00:02:50,204 --> 00:02:52,739
I have never seen
anyone more dominant in the
69
00:02:52,739 --> 00:02:55,542
Royal Rumble than Kane.
70
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:59,246
{\an8}Since its
inception in 1988,
71
00:02:59,246 --> 00:03:01,748
the Royal Rumble match has been
known for its unpredictability.
72
00:03:01,748 --> 00:03:04,251
Only one of
Shawn Michaels'
73
00:03:04,251 --> 00:03:06,320
feet hit the floor.
74
00:03:07,054 --> 00:03:09,223
Shawn Michaels
has won the Royal Rumble.
75
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:11,558
But perhaps
nothing was more shocking than
76
00:03:11,558 --> 00:03:15,429
one particular interaction at
the 2002 Royal Rumble between
77
00:03:15,429 --> 00:03:17,965
{\an8}Tough Enough's inaugural winner,
Maven-
78
00:03:17,965 --> 00:03:19,100
{\an8}I'm going to work hard
from this day forward
79
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:22,903
to be one of the next
WWE Superstars.
80
00:03:22,903 --> 00:03:24,671
and "The
American "Badass"
81
00:03:24,671 --> 00:03:25,906
The Undertaker.
82
00:03:28,709 --> 00:03:30,210
{\an8}Here comes our
next entrant.
83
00:03:32,746 --> 00:03:34,014
Oh, my.
84
00:03:34,014 --> 00:03:35,782
Business is about to pick up.
85
00:03:36,517 --> 00:03:38,585
{\an8}In the 2002
Royal Rumble,
86
00:03:38,585 --> 00:03:42,256
{\an8}we see a super
dominant Undertaker.
87
00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:45,826
This yard belongs to
one of the most evil individuals
88
00:03:45,826 --> 00:03:48,028
in the history of the WWE.
89
00:03:48,862 --> 00:03:50,430
There's one
thing I wouldn't want to be.
90
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:51,465
What's that, King?
91
00:03:51,465 --> 00:03:52,799
Next.
92
00:03:55,836 --> 00:03:57,104
Oh, no.
93
00:03:57,104 --> 00:03:59,606
You have this
young kid from Tough Enough
94
00:03:59,606 --> 00:04:01,909
and Taker, one of the favorites
going into the Royal Rumble,
95
00:04:01,909 --> 00:04:04,444
{\an8}it's like Buster Douglas and
Mike Tyson.
96
00:04:04,444 --> 00:04:06,747
{\an8}I got to admit, I was
pretty-pretty nervous.
97
00:04:06,747 --> 00:04:09,082
Maven getting in the
Royal Rumble.
98
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:11,585
The first male Tough Enough
winner.
99
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:13,187
We had been
fighting with The Undertaker
100
00:04:13,187 --> 00:04:14,755
a little bit right before that.
101
00:04:14,755 --> 00:04:17,357
The Hardys just
trying to get some retribution.
102
00:04:17,357 --> 00:04:19,993
{\an8}And there ended up
being a distraction
103
00:04:19,993 --> 00:04:21,428
where he was turned around.
104
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:23,831
Get your ass out
of my ring.
105
00:04:24,998 --> 00:04:26,200
Oh, my God.
106
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,233
My God.
107
00:04:27,233 --> 00:04:29,036
Maven just eliminated The
Undertaker.
108
00:04:29,036 --> 00:04:30,204
What?
109
00:04:30,204 --> 00:04:33,106
{\an8}That arena
is shocked.
110
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,341
Undertaker is shocked.
111
00:04:35,341 --> 00:04:37,211
Maven was even shocked.
112
00:04:37,945 --> 00:04:39,546
The people that
were there that night,
113
00:04:39,546 --> 00:04:42,315
{\an8}they definitely got their
money's worth, and then some.
114
00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:45,452
I would do that every
day if I could.
115
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:47,221
It was unbelievable.
116
00:04:47,855 --> 00:04:50,190
That is the biggest
shocker I've ever seen
117
00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:51,325
at the Royal Rumble.
118
00:04:55,228 --> 00:04:57,231
At the turn of
the millennium, the WWE tag team
119
00:04:57,231 --> 00:04:59,399
division was known for its wild
action.
120
00:05:00,466 --> 00:05:04,071
Two defining duos of the time
were the Hardy Boyz
121
00:05:04,071 --> 00:05:05,873
and the Dudley Boyz.
122
00:05:05,873 --> 00:05:08,942
The tandems were in a heated
rivalry, taking turns sending
123
00:05:08,942 --> 00:05:11,712
one another through a particular
piece of furniture.
124
00:05:12,478 --> 00:05:14,714
The Dudleys have
attempted to destroy
125
00:05:14,714 --> 00:05:17,084
the Hardys right
through a table.
126
00:05:17,918 --> 00:05:19,720
And at the Royal
Rumble 2000,
127
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,555
the Hardys and Dudleys
would collide
128
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:25,759
in WWE's first-ever Tag Team
Tables Match.
129
00:05:29,463 --> 00:05:31,832
{\an8}The site couldn't
be any bigger.
130
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:34,500
{\an8}We are in the sold-out Madison
Square Garden.
131
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:38,005
The match only ends when both
partners have been
132
00:05:38,005 --> 00:05:39,439
driven through tables.
133
00:05:40,541 --> 00:05:42,341
I wanted to
take it to the next level.
134
00:05:42,341 --> 00:05:44,911
I wanted people to be able to
talk about this match.
135
00:05:44,911 --> 00:05:46,980
Especially because we had the
backdrop of Madison Square
136
00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:49,416
Garden and the Royal Rumble.
137
00:05:49,416 --> 00:05:51,351
Look out, Jeff on
the rail.
138
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:53,086
Oh.
139
00:05:53,086 --> 00:05:54,620
Oh.
140
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:56,790
{\an8}This was the
moment we had our chance to-to
141
00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:59,192
{\an8}show them that we could do the
table deal as well and do it
142
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:02,029
just as good if not better than
they do it.
143
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:03,230
They got it.
144
00:06:03,230 --> 00:06:06,233
Both Hardys both
airborne.
145
00:06:06,233 --> 00:06:07,935
That match was
like, boom, boom, boom, boom,
146
00:06:07,935 --> 00:06:09,636
boom, boom.
147
00:06:09,636 --> 00:06:11,271
Good God.
148
00:06:11,271 --> 00:06:14,675
It became like an
amazing storytelling concept
149
00:06:14,675 --> 00:06:16,410
of a car crash.
150
00:06:17,144 --> 00:06:18,946
Good Lord, Matt
Hardy just got folded
151
00:06:18,946 --> 00:06:21,915
up like an accordion.
152
00:06:22,315 --> 00:06:24,952
If you're keeping score at home,
you're looking for either D-Von
153
00:06:24,952 --> 00:06:27,019
Dudley or Jeff Hardy.
154
00:06:27,019 --> 00:06:29,022
The next one to go through a
table will end.
155
00:06:29,022 --> 00:06:30,357
Oh, here we go.
156
00:06:30,357 --> 00:06:31,791
MSG just, like,
pumping us up to put a hell of a
157
00:06:31,791 --> 00:06:35,161
performance, and, you know, and
risk our bodies.
158
00:06:35,796 --> 00:06:36,997
D-Von on the table.
159
00:06:36,997 --> 00:06:37,764
Jeff Hardy.
160
00:06:37,764 --> 00:06:38,599
Don't do it, Jeff.
161
00:06:38,599 --> 00:06:39,833
Don't do it.
162
00:06:39,833 --> 00:06:40,800
Oh.
163
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,668
Good God.
164
00:06:41,668 --> 00:06:44,838
A senton bomb from the balcony.
165
00:06:45,404 --> 00:06:46,874
The Hardys have survived.
166
00:06:46,874 --> 00:06:47,875
Survived?
167
00:06:47,875 --> 00:06:48,942
{\an8}They've won.
168
00:06:49,076 --> 00:06:50,344
{\an8}We tore the
house down
169
00:06:50,344 --> 00:06:51,978
{\an8}in Madison Square Garden.
170
00:06:55,182 --> 00:06:57,351
{\an8}The Royal Rumble
has brought us some of the most
171
00:06:57,351 --> 00:06:59,185
{\an8}remarkable championship matches
in WWE history.
172
00:06:59,185 --> 00:07:02,189
2008, "The Viper" Randy Orton
was in the midst of a memorable
173
00:07:02,189 --> 00:07:04,791
WWE Championship reign.
174
00:07:04,791 --> 00:07:06,593
I'm going to be
more ruthless
175
00:07:06,593 --> 00:07:08,829
and dominant than ever.
176
00:07:09,630 --> 00:07:11,832
Yet "The
Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy
177
00:07:11,832 --> 00:07:14,267
had his sights set on dethroning
the champ
178
00:07:14,267 --> 00:07:15,903
by any means necessary.
179
00:07:17,303 --> 00:07:18,471
Oh.
180
00:07:18,471 --> 00:07:19,606
Oh, God.
181
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:20,940
Oh.
182
00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:22,576
To what length
would Jeff Hardy go to win his
183
00:07:22,576 --> 00:07:24,611
first-ever WWE Championship?
184
00:07:28,415 --> 00:07:29,716
{\an8}Can that young
man, tonight,
185
00:07:29,716 --> 00:07:32,019
{\an8}realize a lifelong
dream?
186
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:34,922
Kinda surreal that
I was in that position.
187
00:07:35,221 --> 00:07:37,624
{\an8}I'm exactly where I dreamt of
being,
188
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:40,026
and wrestling Randy
Orton in MSG.
189
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:43,063
Randy Orton may
be wondering if this is the last
190
00:07:43,063 --> 00:07:45,666
time he'll be able to hold that
WWE Championship.
191
00:07:47,034 --> 00:07:49,202
{\an8}The style, unlike
anybody else's.
192
00:07:49,202 --> 00:07:50,870
We tore it up.
193
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:53,106
Jeff Hardy spent
his entire life working
194
00:07:53,106 --> 00:07:54,507
towards this moment.
195
00:07:55,309 --> 00:07:58,077
Jeff Hardy
really started finding his legs
196
00:07:58,077 --> 00:08:00,480
{\an8}and became immensely popular.
197
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,548
Hardy will
physically abuse his own body
198
00:08:02,548 --> 00:08:03,951
to win a contest.
199
00:08:03,951 --> 00:08:05,285
We know that.
200
00:08:05,285 --> 00:08:06,853
Here we go.
201
00:08:06,853 --> 00:08:08,889
And there's some
physical abuse right there.
202
00:08:08,889 --> 00:08:10,389
I knew I was
close,
203
00:08:10,389 --> 00:08:13,427
and I felt like it
was gonna happen.
204
00:08:13,427 --> 00:08:14,194
Downstairs.
205
00:08:14,194 --> 00:08:14,595
Twist of Fate.
206
00:08:14,595 --> 00:08:15,161
No.
207
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:15,629
Oh, no.
208
00:08:15,629 --> 00:08:16,430
RKO.
209
00:08:16,430 --> 00:08:17,598
RKO.
210
00:08:17,598 --> 00:08:18,232
Oh, my God.
211
00:08:19,266 --> 00:08:21,034
My God, the RKO out
of nowhere.
212
00:08:21,601 --> 00:08:23,470
Everybody thought
that Jeff was going to win,
213
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:24,704
but we had a great match.
214
00:08:25,606 --> 00:08:28,041
{\an8}Once you get
two athletes of that caliber and
215
00:08:28,041 --> 00:08:29,877
just have so much respect for
them,
216
00:08:29,877 --> 00:08:31,310
no matter who you're
rooting for.
217
00:08:34,147 --> 00:08:36,082
The 2000s
signified a passing of the torch
218
00:08:36,082 --> 00:08:39,385
to a new generation of
up-and-coming WWE Superstars,
219
00:08:39,385 --> 00:08:42,722
but no two individuals truly
defined this decade quite like
220
00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:44,924
John Cena and Batista.
221
00:08:44,924 --> 00:08:48,095
These rising stars were eager to
reach the top of the mountain,
222
00:08:48,095 --> 00:08:50,964
and there was no better way to
catapult yourself towards
223
00:08:50,964 --> 00:08:54,101
championship glory than winning
the Royal Rumble match
224
00:08:54,101 --> 00:08:56,068
and earning a title
opportunity at
225
00:08:56,068 --> 00:08:58,205
the Showcase of the
Immortals, WrestleMania.
226
00:08:59,106 --> 00:08:59,940
Come on, Johnny.
227
00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:01,542
Cena eliminated
Kane.
228
00:09:01,542 --> 00:09:03,277
Look at this.
229
00:09:03,277 --> 00:09:04,344
Oh, my God.
230
00:09:04,344 --> 00:09:05,846
And Jericho
eliminated.
231
00:09:05,846 --> 00:09:08,282
Batista has come to dominate.
232
00:09:08,282 --> 00:09:10,384
At the 2005
Royal Rumble,
233
00:09:10,384 --> 00:09:13,519
Cena and Batista would fight
tooth and nail to the very end.
234
00:09:14,154 --> 00:09:16,623
Cena, Batista, the
final two.
235
00:09:20,260 --> 00:09:24,197
{\an8}One of these two will be in the
main event at WrestleMania.
236
00:09:25,032 --> 00:09:27,534
{\an8}It was funny
because I think when
237
00:09:27,534 --> 00:09:29,202
I picked him up for the bomb-
238
00:09:29,202 --> 00:09:30,303
Can you
say, Batista Bomb?
239
00:09:31,672 --> 00:09:34,106
he came up with so
much force that he literally
240
00:09:34,106 --> 00:09:36,909
just flung me over the ropes, so
we both went over.
241
00:09:37,376 --> 00:09:38,245
Get him.
242
00:09:38,245 --> 00:09:39,212
Oh, geez.
243
00:09:39,212 --> 00:09:40,380
My God, they both
went out.
244
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:41,914
{\an8}Cena and
Batista go over the top rope
245
00:09:41,914 --> 00:09:43,683
{\an8}at the same time.
246
00:09:43,683 --> 00:09:45,052
Every replay was inconclusive.
247
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:47,888
Who-who-who touched
first?
248
00:09:49,423 --> 00:09:50,591
{\an8}We got back in the
ring and didn't know
249
00:09:50,591 --> 00:09:52,359
{\an8}what was going on.
250
00:09:53,427 --> 00:09:55,863
We've got two
winners of the Royal Rumble.
251
00:09:56,363 --> 00:09:57,831
They hit Mr.
McMahon's music.
252
00:09:58,631 --> 00:10:00,634
Here comes the
chairman of the WWE.
253
00:10:01,067 --> 00:10:02,068
On the way into the
ring,
254
00:10:02,068 --> 00:10:03,703
he ruptures both of
his quadriceps.
255
00:10:06,373 --> 00:10:08,008
So, he can no longer stand.
256
00:10:08,708 --> 00:10:10,010
Per order of
the chairman,
257
00:10:10,010 --> 00:10:13,346
this match be restarted.
258
00:10:14,548 --> 00:10:15,548
Well, that sounds good.
259
00:10:16,716 --> 00:10:19,519
{\an8}Batista and John
Cena have to recover
260
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:20,953
from this absolute debacle.
261
00:10:22,255 --> 00:10:23,724
Overpowering John
Cena.
262
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:25,192
No, no, no, no.
263
00:10:25,192 --> 00:10:26,460
With the
Spinebuster.
264
00:10:26,460 --> 00:10:28,162
No.
265
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:30,230
And Batista--
266
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:31,197
That was
absolute pure chaos.
267
00:10:31,197 --> 00:10:32,666
I've never seen anything like
that happen,
268
00:10:32,666 --> 00:10:34,735
but it became historic.
269
00:10:34,735 --> 00:10:36,669
It's one of the most memorable
Rumble moments in history.
270
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:39,038
It was not without
controversy,
271
00:10:39,505 --> 00:10:44,177
but Batista will be in the main
event at WrestleMania 21.
272
00:10:45,946 --> 00:10:47,413
{\an8}Throughout WWE
history,
273
00:10:47,413 --> 00:10:48,682
{\an8}there have been a number
of true underdogs,
274
00:10:48,682 --> 00:10:51,150
{\an8}superstars who were given
the short end of the stick,
275
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:53,754
who must fight their way toward
ultimate glory.
276
00:10:53,754 --> 00:10:56,155
The Royal Rumble match may
provide the shot certain
277
00:10:56,155 --> 00:10:59,359
superstars need to break through
their glass ceiling.
278
00:10:59,359 --> 00:11:03,429
In 2006, the high-flying fan
favorite Rey Mysterio drew
279
00:11:03,429 --> 00:11:07,301
the ill-fated number two spot
in the Royal Rumble match.
280
00:11:07,301 --> 00:11:08,335
Oh, God.
281
00:11:08,335 --> 00:11:09,903
You got to be kidding me.
282
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:12,339
With the odds
fully against the legendary
283
00:11:12,339 --> 00:11:14,908
luchador, would Rey be able to
go bell-to-bell and take home
284
00:11:14,908 --> 00:11:17,811
the greatest victory of his
career?
285
00:11:21,414 --> 00:11:23,482
{\an8}Triple H, number
one.
286
00:11:23,951 --> 00:11:25,152
{\an8}Here comes Mysterio.
287
00:11:26,186 --> 00:11:28,255
{\an8}Being number
two in the Royal Rumble,
288
00:11:28,255 --> 00:11:30,890
{\an8}your chances are-are
not that great.
289
00:11:31,524 --> 00:11:34,061
Rey Mysterio
dedicated a victory
290
00:11:34,061 --> 00:11:36,864
in the Royal Rumble matchup to
his late friend,
291
00:11:36,864 --> 00:11:39,466
Eddie Guerrero, and
paying homage
292
00:11:39,466 --> 00:11:41,702
to Eddie
tonight in a low-rider.
293
00:11:42,668 --> 00:11:44,104
There was an
empty spot.
294
00:11:44,104 --> 00:11:47,508
{\an8}I needed Eddie there, but he was
there in spirit.
295
00:11:48,509 --> 00:11:50,077
There is the
speed and quickness of Rey
296
00:11:50,077 --> 00:11:52,346
Mysterio taking out the game at
the knee.
297
00:11:53,113 --> 00:11:55,883
There was only
one guy you wanted to win.
298
00:11:56,383 --> 00:11:57,417
This Royal
Rumble matchup
299
00:11:57,417 --> 00:11:59,753
has been going for one hour.
300
00:12:02,655 --> 00:12:04,158
Triple H eliminated.
301
00:12:05,292 --> 00:12:07,427
We're down to Mysterio and
Orton.
302
00:12:08,195 --> 00:12:10,563
Of course, I
want Rey to overcome
303
00:12:10,563 --> 00:12:11,697
and win the damn thing.
304
00:12:12,533 --> 00:12:14,635
Randy Orton who
came in at number 30.
305
00:12:14,635 --> 00:12:16,970
Rey Mysterio who came in at
number two.
306
00:12:17,471 --> 00:12:18,804
Oh, Mysterio, he did it.
307
00:12:18,804 --> 00:12:19,572
Oh.
308
00:12:19,572 --> 00:12:20,440
He did it.
309
00:12:21,140 --> 00:12:21,909
No way.
310
00:12:21,909 --> 00:12:22,643
He did it.
311
00:12:22,643 --> 00:12:23,342
He did it.
312
00:12:23,342 --> 00:12:24,244
No- No way.
313
00:12:24,244 --> 00:12:25,144
Rey Mysterio did
it.
314
00:12:25,144 --> 00:12:28,347
The explosion of
the fans.
315
00:12:28,347 --> 00:12:30,583
This was a picture-perfect
moment.
316
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:32,385
The highlight of my career.
317
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:36,356
Rey Mysterio is
going to WrestleMania.
318
00:12:38,692 --> 00:12:40,460
The Royal Rumble match has
proven to be no rest
319
00:12:40,460 --> 00:12:41,894
for the weary.
320
00:12:41,894 --> 00:12:44,431
Speaking from personal
experience, of course.
321
00:12:44,431 --> 00:12:45,631
Look at this
clown.
322
00:12:45,631 --> 00:12:48,702
He actually thinks he's going to
go to WrestleMania.
323
00:12:48,702 --> 00:12:50,604
One minor
distraction, or wrong move, and
324
00:12:50,604 --> 00:12:52,239
your dreams of headlining
WrestleMania
325
00:12:52,239 --> 00:12:55,241
can be squashed in an instant.
326
00:12:55,241 --> 00:12:57,510
You guys just cost me spot at
WrestleMania.
327
00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:59,913
A good rule of thumb for every
competitor
328
00:12:59,913 --> 00:13:02,749
is to always be ready.
329
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:05,885
; I brought my
two Roman soldiers,
330
00:13:05,885 --> 00:13:07,988
Pasquale and Francesco.
331
00:13:16,395 --> 00:13:17,831
Santino Marella,
332
00:13:17,831 --> 00:13:20,433
the former Intercontinental
Champion.
333
00:13:21,268 --> 00:13:23,636
{\an8}This year I
was determined
334
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:24,705
{\an8}to make an impact.
335
00:13:27,073 --> 00:13:27,875
What?
336
00:13:27,875 --> 00:13:28,708
Good Lord.
337
00:13:28,708 --> 00:13:29,710
What the?
338
00:13:29,710 --> 00:13:30,510
Could that have been
a record?
339
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:31,278
I wasn't
ready.
340
00:13:31,278 --> 00:13:32,346
I wasn't ready.
341
00:13:35,749 --> 00:13:36,350
No, I wasn't
ready.
342
00:13:36,350 --> 00:13:37,551
No.
343
00:13:37,551 --> 00:13:38,585
I'm going back in.
344
00:13:38,952 --> 00:13:39,852
{\an8}He wasn't
ready.
345
00:13:39,852 --> 00:13:41,020
{\an8}He thought he was going to get
in the ring,
346
00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:42,288
{\an8}he was going to do a
little stretching.
347
00:13:42,288 --> 00:13:43,322
{\an8}He was going to get ready.
348
00:13:43,322 --> 00:13:45,225
{\an8}Because I've talked to him about
this at length.
349
00:13:45,225 --> 00:13:46,393
Let's see if we
can time this in our head.
350
00:13:46,393 --> 00:13:47,961
One thousand one.
351
00:13:47,961 --> 00:13:49,630
Eh, he didn't even last two
seconds.
352
00:13:50,297 --> 00:13:52,099
The positive side
is-is, he has a record for being
353
00:13:52,099 --> 00:13:54,201
in the Royal Rumble for the
shortest amount of time.
354
00:13:54,668 --> 00:13:56,470
Santino may have
gone in the record book,
355
00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:58,105
but not in the way that
he would've liked.
356
00:13:58,105 --> 00:13:59,373
That will
always be played
357
00:13:59,373 --> 00:14:00,908
every Royal Rumble.
358
00:14:00,908 --> 00:14:01,841
One second.
359
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:02,942
You're out.
360
00:14:02,942 --> 00:14:04,311
There are no
re-do's, Santino.
361
00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:07,548
I don't know
if I'll ever be ready.
362
00:14:09,982 --> 00:14:11,083
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
363
00:14:11,083 --> 00:14:12,852
has produced countless memorable
moments
364
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:16,590
over his historic WWE career,
including two Royal Rumble
365
00:14:16,590 --> 00:14:21,562
victories, in 1997 and again in
1998.
366
00:14:21,562 --> 00:14:27,668
Surely there was no way Stone
Cold could win three, right?
367
00:14:27,668 --> 00:14:29,702
But if you get
your ass in it, Stone Cold's
368
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:32,005
going to throw your ass out of
it, and that's the bottom line.
369
00:14:40,947 --> 00:14:41,914
Ah.
370
00:14:41,914 --> 00:14:43,317
It's Stone Cold.
371
00:14:43,317 --> 00:14:45,452
This ain't going to be pretty,
King.
372
00:14:45,452 --> 00:14:47,620
But it's going
to be good.
373
00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:49,456
I was ready to
go.
374
00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:50,823
Hey, wait.
375
00:14:50,823 --> 00:14:51,725
The Game.
376
00:14:51,725 --> 00:14:52,592
What?
377
00:14:52,592 --> 00:14:53,460
Triple H from
behind.
378
00:14:53,659 --> 00:14:55,361
{\an8}Bam, hit me just
like that.
379
00:14:55,361 --> 00:14:57,096
Austin has been
busted open.
380
00:14:57,096 --> 00:14:58,731
He's never even
gotten into the ring.
381
00:14:58,731 --> 00:15:00,667
That's when the
ball started rolling.
382
00:15:00,667 --> 00:15:04,004
Oh, my God, Austin's
on fire.
383
00:15:04,004 --> 00:15:06,240
How's he doing this?
384
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,908
{\an8}Bam, bop.
385
00:15:07,908 --> 00:15:09,308
{\an8}Jacking dudes, you know what I'm
saying?
386
00:15:09,308 --> 00:15:10,110
{\an8}Knocking them out.
387
00:15:10,110 --> 00:15:11,745
{\an8}Eliminating them in the process.
388
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:14,114
Austin just
eliminated Haku.
389
00:15:14,114 --> 00:15:16,582
If you'd been in a Royal
Rumble with Stone Cold, you most
390
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:20,386
{\an8}likely got a mudhole stomped in
your ass.
391
00:15:20,386 --> 00:15:21,288
Oh.
392
00:15:21,288 --> 00:15:22,089
Oh, the stunner.
393
00:15:22,089 --> 00:15:23,023
Stunner.
394
00:15:23,023 --> 00:15:24,658
Austin got a head of
steam.
395
00:15:24,658 --> 00:15:25,625
No.
396
00:15:25,625 --> 00:15:26,326
Oh.
397
00:15:26,326 --> 00:15:27,059
Kane is out.
398
00:15:28,294 --> 00:15:29,796
Stone Cold is going
to WrestleMania.
399
00:15:29,796 --> 00:15:31,899
To eliminate
Kane, one of the biggest,
400
00:15:31,899 --> 00:15:35,869
strongest, most impressive WWE
Superstars in history,
401
00:15:35,869 --> 00:15:38,205
I remember it vividly.
402
00:15:38,205 --> 00:15:39,706
I knew the
Rattlesnake would
403
00:15:39,706 --> 00:15:40,707
win this thing.
404
00:15:40,707 --> 00:15:43,543
Winning three
Royal Rumbles,
405
00:15:43,543 --> 00:15:45,712
that's unheard of.
406
00:15:45,712 --> 00:15:47,080
What a Royal Rumble.
407
00:15:48,715 --> 00:15:49,750
{\an8}We've witnessed
some truly unbelievable Royal
408
00:15:50,017 --> 00:15:54,354
{\an8}Rumble finishes over the years,
from nail-biting back and forths
409
00:15:54,354 --> 00:15:56,190
to sensational last-minute
comebacks.
410
00:15:56,822 --> 00:15:58,258
Edge is here.
411
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:03,197
No other match in
WWE epitomizes that it ain't
412
00:16:03,197 --> 00:16:04,264
over till it's over.
413
00:16:05,097 --> 00:16:06,732
Wait a minute here.
414
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:10,236
Bret Hart eliminated Stone Cold,
and neither referee saw it.
415
00:16:11,171 --> 00:16:13,472
The 2007 Royal
Rumble featured 30 tough
416
00:16:13,472 --> 00:16:16,442
participants all vying for a
quintessential victory.
417
00:16:17,043 --> 00:16:19,178
Eliminations would ensue, and
once the dust settled,
418
00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:21,315
only two future Hall of
Famers remained.
419
00:16:22,115 --> 00:16:24,150
The Undertaker,
Shawn Michaels.
420
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:25,885
One of these men are going to
WrestleMania.
421
00:16:29,822 --> 00:16:30,890
{\an8}The final two
men.
422
00:16:31,024 --> 00:16:34,260
{\an8}Perhaps the biggest stars in
the history of the WWE.
423
00:16:35,229 --> 00:16:37,231
{\an8}Like, you're talking
about the greatest of the great
424
00:16:37,231 --> 00:16:39,232
{\an8}in the ring together.
425
00:16:40,433 --> 00:16:41,934
Every time that they are in the
ring together,
426
00:16:41,934 --> 00:16:43,470
it just felt like magic.
427
00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:45,438
How many times
do you get a chance to see two
428
00:16:45,438 --> 00:16:48,841
legends go at it when
everything's on the line?
429
00:16:49,442 --> 00:16:51,544
Just going to
have a long amount of time out
430
00:16:51,544 --> 00:16:55,448
{\an8}there with Taker to do a lot.
431
00:16:56,482 --> 00:16:59,385
{\an8}It was really hard to mess
something like this up and not
432
00:16:59,385 --> 00:17:00,953
{\an8}make it something memorable.
433
00:17:01,355 --> 00:17:02,788
Shawn Michaels
going for the victory.
434
00:17:02,788 --> 00:17:03,990
Undertaker hanging on.
435
00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:05,992
Telling you,
we're watching history.
436
00:17:06,626 --> 00:17:08,995
{\an8}They
literally had their own match
437
00:17:08,995 --> 00:17:10,863
at the end of the Rumble.
438
00:17:12,164 --> 00:17:13,266
Whoa.
439
00:17:13,266 --> 00:17:14,200
This is a
moment you're going
440
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,068
to tell your kids about,
your grandkids.
441
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:18,171
Two guys that
respect each other.
442
00:17:18,171 --> 00:17:19,305
They're at the top of their
games.
443
00:17:20,473 --> 00:17:22,476
{\an8}You can't ask for more than
that.
444
00:17:24,277 --> 00:17:25,511
Went for Sweet
Chin Music.
445
00:17:25,511 --> 00:17:26,212
Whoa.
446
00:17:26,212 --> 00:17:26,946
Got caught.
447
00:17:26,946 --> 00:17:27,513
Whoa.
448
00:17:27,513 --> 00:17:28,114
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
449
00:17:28,114 --> 00:17:29,415
Whoa.
450
00:17:29,415 --> 00:17:30,116
Undertaker has
eliminated Shawn Michaels.
451
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:32,351
This is a Rumble.
452
00:17:32,351 --> 00:17:33,419
{\an8}Last two.
453
00:17:33,419 --> 00:17:35,087
{\an8}It was one of the greatest of
all times.
454
00:17:35,621 --> 00:17:37,223
Shawn Michaels
and Undertaker
455
00:17:37,223 --> 00:17:40,626
exchanging glances,
pure respect.
456
00:17:40,626 --> 00:17:42,228
We have seen a
classic.
457
00:17:44,463 --> 00:17:46,065
It's now time
for our number moment,
458
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:48,401
and brace yourself, this
one's going to hurt.
459
00:17:49,101 --> 00:17:51,704
In January 2000, WWE Champion,
Triple H,
460
00:17:51,704 --> 00:17:54,073
ruled over WWE with
an iron fist.
461
00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:57,743
The Game quickly identified
frequent foe, Mick Foley, as a
462
00:17:57,743 --> 00:18:00,112
threat to his reign and sought
out his immediate demise.
463
00:18:00,813 --> 00:18:03,716
Why don't you bring
it down here right now?
464
00:18:04,116 --> 00:18:05,751
Yet Triple H had
not considered that Foley
465
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:07,353
had a trick up his sleeve.
466
00:18:07,353 --> 00:18:11,557
But I think the
WWE fans deserve
467
00:18:11,557 --> 00:18:13,459
a substitute in that match.
468
00:18:14,393 --> 00:18:16,563
His name is Cactus
Jack.
469
00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:19,699
At the 2000
Royal Rumble,
470
00:18:19,699 --> 00:18:21,667
the champ was set to face the
third and most
471
00:18:21,667 --> 00:18:26,005
dangerous face of Foley in an
unforgiving Street Fight.
472
00:18:29,308 --> 00:18:31,310
{\an8}At the moment that
man is the best there is in the
473
00:18:31,310 --> 00:18:35,715
{\an8}game, but that man will do
anything he can to become
474
00:18:35,715 --> 00:18:37,149
the WWE Champion.
475
00:18:37,149 --> 00:18:38,551
There was something
to prove for both of us
476
00:18:38,551 --> 00:18:40,987
{\an8}in that match, which was
we both should be
477
00:18:40,987 --> 00:18:42,054
in that main event spot.
478
00:18:42,421 --> 00:18:43,856
And the Street
Fight-
479
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:47,827
for the WWE
title is underway.
480
00:18:48,895 --> 00:18:51,931
{\an8}I'm headlining the
venue I used to take trains to
481
00:18:51,931 --> 00:18:55,801
{\an8}and hitchhike to, and now I'm
wrestling for the championship.
482
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:57,870
I'm one- with one of the
greatest
483
00:18:57,870 --> 00:18:59,305
of all time in Triple H.
484
00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:02,074
And he's bringing out the best
in me, and I'm not too far
485
00:19:02,074 --> 00:19:03,809
behind in pushing him.
486
00:19:04,944 --> 00:19:05,978
Oh look at that.
487
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:07,113
What?
488
00:19:07,113 --> 00:19:09,448
Is that-- That looks
like barbed wire.
489
00:19:10,784 --> 00:19:11,751
Look out.
490
00:19:11,751 --> 00:19:13,719
Oh.
491
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,555
We both want it to
be great.
492
00:19:15,555 --> 00:19:17,423
We're willing to do anything to
make it great.
493
00:19:17,957 --> 00:19:18,991
What?
494
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:20,026
Wait a minute.
495
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:20,626
I-I-I don't know--
I don't think--
496
00:19:20,726 --> 00:19:21,361
It is-- Oh, God, it--
497
00:19:21,361 --> 00:19:22,228
Oh, my God.
498
00:19:22,361 --> 00:19:23,462
It's-it's-it's thumb
tacks.
499
00:19:23,596 --> 00:19:25,865
We used them in
the most meaningful of ways.
500
00:19:25,865 --> 00:19:26,866
Look at this.
501
00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:28,067
Oh.
502
00:19:28,067 --> 00:19:28,868
Oh, no.
503
00:19:28,868 --> 00:19:29,936
Oh, my God.
504
00:19:29,936 --> 00:19:33,639
Oh, my God, Cactus Jack is a
human pin cushion.
505
00:19:34,106 --> 00:19:35,274
There was some stuff
in there that
506
00:19:35,274 --> 00:19:36,576
he had to talk me into.
507
00:19:36,576 --> 00:19:38,311
Pedigree in the tacks and all
that stuff, like--
508
00:19:42,215 --> 00:19:44,584
Pedigree on
the thumb tacks.
509
00:19:44,584 --> 00:19:45,818
That's it.
510
00:19:45,818 --> 00:19:46,586
Got him.
511
00:19:46,586 --> 00:19:47,353
My God.
512
00:19:48,221 --> 00:19:48,921
My God,
it's over.
513
00:19:49,722 --> 00:19:51,023
Thank God it's over.
514
00:19:51,490 --> 00:19:52,592
I was so happy
with the match.
515
00:19:52,592 --> 00:19:54,594
Will always be grateful for
Triple H,
516
00:19:54,594 --> 00:19:55,962
for bringing out the best in me.
517
00:19:57,296 --> 00:20:01,067
That match was a
bona fide main event making
518
00:20:01,067 --> 00:20:03,636
match for both guys that were in
that match.
519
00:20:04,505 --> 00:20:06,506
The damnedest match
that any of us
520
00:20:06,506 --> 00:20:08,040
have ever witnessed.
521
00:20:11,310 --> 00:20:12,813
An absolute
awesome matchup
522
00:20:12,813 --> 00:20:14,547
in every sense of the word.
523
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:17,784
Triple H and Cactus Jack took
each other to their limits.
524
00:20:17,784 --> 00:20:20,686
{\an8}Another classic encounter to
enrich the legacy
525
00:20:20,686 --> 00:20:22,955
{\an8}of the Royal Rumble.
526
00:20:23,823 --> 00:20:24,991
{\an8}Well, that'll do it for this
edition
527
00:20:24,991 --> 00:20:26,826
{\an8}of WWE's Greatest Moments.
528
00:20:26,826 --> 00:20:29,028
{\an8}We hope you have enjoyed this
