00:00People that are watching this right now that probably have never even seen Shawn Michaels perform,
00:04but they're going to see it tonight, and it's going to be something they'll never forget.
00:07Shawn Michaels' last wrestle, 1,600 and nine days ago, if you can believe that.
00:14He left the game due to a broken back, but this is about pride and passion, about evilness and ego.
00:21It's going to be a fight.
00:22Shawn Michaels and Triple H are our best of friends, are closer than a lot of brothers.
00:30Triple H, my friend, is that a lie, or is that the truth?
00:36That is the ever-loving truth.
00:40Well, let me ask you a question.
00:42Who is the show stopper?
00:47Me.
00:47Who is the main event?
00:50Me.
00:52Shawn Michaels and Triple H, they're closer than a lot of brothers.
00:58Tonight, the game brings you his best friend, Shawn Michaels.
01:08Shawn Michaels and Triple H are our best of friends.
01:10That friendship is really what swayed Triple H.
01:14That's what brought him here to Raw.
01:17Let's get ready to suck it.
01:20Wait a minute.
01:24What the hell is going on?
01:26Triple H is our territory on Shawn Michaels.
01:28Shawn Michaels and I were never best friends.
01:31I used Shawn Michaels to get to the top, just like Shawn Michaels used me to stay at the top.
01:38Now I am a show stopper.
01:42Now I am the icon.
01:44Shawn Michaels, what the hell do you want?
01:47The stage manager, Nick Dawes, telling him, you're going to game something.
01:51Is he going?
01:52What the hell happened?
01:54What the hell happened?
01:56Oh, wow.
01:57Somebody get help.
01:58Somebody go and get some help.
01:59Somebody help.
02:00Somebody obviously ran his head right through the side of that car window.
02:04The only thing I know for sure is that the guy jumped me from behind.
02:09Shawn, I swear to you and I swear in front of all these people, I'm going to find out who did this to you.
02:15And when I find out who did this, that person is a marked man.
02:19It was you, Hunter.
02:26You're damn right it was me, Shawn.
02:29I was trying to prove a point.
02:32That you are weak.
02:34You are vulnerable.
02:36I recognize that I'm not in the best shape right now.
02:40The doctors have told me I'll make a full recovery.
02:43They say I'll be 100%.
02:44100% by, say, SummerSlam.
02:49I'm not going to sanction your match at SummerSlam.
02:54Officially, your match will never happen.
02:58But it will happen, Eric.
03:00I will fight till there's nothing left.
03:05Till my legs are gone, you won't forget me.
03:11Cause I will fight till my final breath.
03:17Just to see you fall, I'll make you fear me.
03:24Every time you think I'm done, I'll come back stronger.
03:31And every time you think that you've got me, I will fight you.
03:45Now I'll put you in the ground.
03:48Shawn Michaels is an amazing, amazing athlete.
03:51One of the best I personally ever saw.
03:53But after a four-year absence, what does Shawn Michaels have left in his tank?
03:56Face facts.
03:57You can't wrestle anymore.
03:59You're done.
04:00It's over.
04:00I will cripple your ass.
04:02H-B-K is dead.
04:05Is dead.
04:06Shawn Michaels and the game.
04:09Non-sensual.
04:10I will fight till there's nothing left.
04:15Till my legs are gone, you won't forget me.
04:20Forget me.
04:21Forget me.
04:22Forget me.
04:24Forget me.
04:27Wow.
04:29Are you ready for this, Eric?
04:32I'm ready.
04:33And is HBK ready?
04:35There he is.
05:00He is a shoulder stopper.
05:01What an amazing, amazing athlete.
05:08His last match, March 29, 1998, at WrestleMania.
05:16He was the first ever Grand Slam winner.
05:21He has been the WWE Champion, Intercontinental Champion, European Champion, and Cut Champion.
05:26The first man in the history of this company to earn that honor.
05:31The first man in the history of this company to earn that honor.
05:36We are witnessing something that we, quite frankly, thought we'd never seen.
05:42I always hope that Shawn Michaels will get back to the ring one more time.
05:48And that's all we're seeing here.
05:49So my personal dream has come true.
05:52But I swear, I pray, that this is not a mistake, that Shawn Michaels will regret, that his family will regret, for the rest of his natural life.
06:03Yeah, but just look at Shawn Michaels, I don't know if there's ever been anyone in this industry that's had more charisma than that man.
06:16He was like, as controversial as anybody that ever stepped in the ring.
06:20He has had several life-changing experiences since his retirement.
06:24This match, as I said earlier, about passion and pride of Shawn Michaels.
06:30It's about the equalness and the ego of a man that Shawn Michaels used to call his best friend.
06:36He's got chills right now, JR.
06:38And so does everybody in this arena.
06:40And so does everybody in this arena.
07:10The second man to have a hold of me, the Grand Slam.
07:15John Michaels was the first, but he was the second.
07:20And how, what Triple H did to a man that revered him?
07:25The mimic of a catalyst and Triple H's ascension to main event status is beyond me.
07:33What kind of heart and what kind of strength?
07:36Possess as a man, my Triple H.
07:38Well, there's two things you don't like about Triple H, and that's his face.
07:43Because only a two-faced individual will be able to stand and put his arm around Shawn Michaels.
07:48Tell the world that he's Shawn Michaels' best friend.
07:53And then take Shawn Michaels' head and run it right into the car wing.
07:55This match is not sanctioned by the WWE.
07:58Both men have signed an old, harmless contract that basically says that Shawn Michaels can't, oh, look at that.
08:06Oh, look at that.
08:07That's a little, just a little more of that charisma I'm talking about, they are.
08:11But you're right.
08:11As far as, as far as Eric Bischoff is concerned, as far as the WWE is concerned,
08:16well, this is not even happening.
08:19This match is not even taking place.
08:20But it's gonna happen.
08:21It is real.
08:24The show stops, the cerebral assassin.
08:27And remember, the referee is here only to count a pinball or ring the bell signifying a submission.
08:34They're filling the spot with Shawn Michaels.
08:35And with that shirt on the face of the game, and the heartbreak hit Shawn Michaels with that Texas pride, scoring with the right hands.
08:42Pulling out.
08:43Oh, he tried to, he tried to resist himself.
08:46Look at the face, the spear by Shawn Michaels.
08:49Hard right hands, right down on the man.
08:51His former best friend, Triple H.
08:54The, the evil, cerebral assassin.
08:57And Shawn Michaels scoring.
08:59You've got to believe that Shawn Michaels' back, that, that, that broken back.
09:04This might as well have a bullseye on it, as far as the game is concerned.
09:10Shawn Michaels, what an athlete.
09:11And Triple H, Michaels sidestepped the game.
09:15The game went sitting right over the top.
09:17I'll tell you one thing, Triple H has made a big mistake if he underestimates Shawn Michaels.
09:21Oh my God.
09:22The cross-thought of the puncher, over the top.
09:25Again, these men can be kept out.
09:27And look at those right hands.
09:29Look at those right hands.
09:30Right into the forehead.
09:32And between the eyes of the game.
09:35There's some question as to how much Shawn Michaels has left.
09:38And I can guarantee you this, I promise you this, he will get every ounce of it,
09:43every bit of it tonight in this match.
09:45Shawn Michaels, yes, he will, King.
09:46He will give us his heart and his soul.
09:48Look at that.
09:49Of the game.
09:50The side of his head, bouncing off the ring post.
09:53But in my view, Shawn Michaels has got to get it over early here.
09:57He has not wrestled in over four years.
10:00He looks to be in great shape.
10:01He looks great.
10:02You've got to give him credit.
10:03He looks fantastic.
10:05Look at that shot.
10:07Shawn Michaels catching the game, that clothesline.
10:10And thus far, in the early going, Shawn Michaels has been extremely offensive.
10:15Wait a minute.
10:15Again, it's non-sanctioned.
10:18This goes beyond a hardcore match.
10:20Wait a minute now, JR.
10:24Michaels still got trash can.
10:25I guess anything's going to go in this.
10:27You're right.
10:27There are no rules in a non-sanctioned match.
10:30Oh!
10:32Downstairs with the game.
10:34Now, we got out of bed.
10:35Michaels running to the security wall.
10:39Michaels bouncing off that security wall.
10:41And the game rolling back in.
10:44Well, there's so many things that have got to be going through the mind of Shawn Michaels.
10:49I mean, you know, first of all, he's in the ring going against a man that just a few weeks ago he thought was his best friend.
10:55Now he's in the ring in a match that a few weeks ago he thought he'd never do again.
11:00What a shot that was.
11:02And he's got to run it against Shawn Michaels.
11:04That's it, Shawn Michaels.
11:05Skin and a carrot.
11:06Wow!
11:07And then almost beheading Triple H with a thunderous clothesline.
11:10The heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels, with his heart as big as Texas.
11:14Cowboy Vuitton.
11:15He's here for a street fight.
11:17A non-sanctioned affair.
11:18Right between the eyes with a trash can.
11:21And down goes the game.
11:24And probably the most important thing that's going through Shawn's mind is the fact that you mentioned Texas.
11:29That his young son is sitting at home in Texas watching every minute of this.
11:33Watching his daddy for the first time.
11:35And there's a shot.
11:36Michaels off the top rope.
11:37Shawn Michaels want to get it over early.
11:40He's done a hell of a job with his game plan.
11:43And Michaels made it warm up the band king.
11:45It could be time for some sweet tune music.
11:48Yeah!
11:49Let's see it!
11:50Let's hear it!
11:50He went hard.
11:52Couldn't find it.
11:53The game.
11:54Oh, look at that!
11:55Oh!
11:55Oh, my God!
11:56My God!
11:56What a bad breaker!
11:57What a vicious!
11:58Oh!
11:59You said it!
12:00The bullseye on the back of Shawn Michaels!
12:04And the referee asking Shawn Michaels if he wants to stop this match.
12:08Nobody knows!
12:09Oh!
12:09Oh!
12:10Shawn Michaels saying no, no, emphatically no.
12:13Nobody knows.
12:15I don't think Shawn Michaels even knows how much pain and punishment his back takes.
12:19Hey, let's take a look one more time.
12:21Feel the impact of that.
12:23Wow!
12:24That was as perfectly executed by the cerebral assassin as you will.
12:28Well, not again.
12:29Not another!
12:30Not another!
12:30The gang said he was going to try to maim.
12:35He was going to try to cripple and destroy Shawn Michaels.
12:38It is Triple H's goal.
12:39As perverse as it sounds.
12:41As hideous as it is to see Shawn Michaels in a wheelchair.
12:45Well, you know, I said we saw some vintage Shawn Michaels a little earlier in this match.
12:51Now we're seeing vintage Triple H.
12:55This is what made Triple H the game.
12:59This, oh, this attitude and this cross.
13:02Triple H's a five-time WWE Champion.
13:06He didn't get there accidentally.
13:07Oh, man!
13:08What an Irish win!
13:09So much velocity!
13:10Triple H even lifted his feet.
13:12The Sin's Shawn Michaels with a shot right to the terminal.
13:15Again, focusing on that back.
13:18How healed is the broken back.
13:20And you say, well, J.R., it's been four years.
13:23For those of you that have ever had a broken back, I am told it never fully heals.
13:28You never get over it.
13:29And you damn sure don't get in the ring with an athlete like Triple H.
13:33And that's why we knew this wasn't the smartest decision that Shawn Michaels could make.
13:40Shawn Michaels, Triple H, totally disrespecting one of the great legends of our time.
13:47In this business, Shawn Michaels.
13:49And Triple H is certainly not going to waste any moves.
13:55Finish Triple H, the elbow, the point of the elbow.
14:02Nothing but disrespect, but nothing that the Cerebral Assassin gives a damn about.
14:07And there's a cover.
14:08The first cover.
14:09Here we go.
14:10And Shawn Michaels, able to kick out, King.
14:12But you've got to wonder, if your back goes, the kick outs are, they stop happening.
14:18Yeah, they're going to be few and far between.
14:20And this is legal.
14:22It's not sanctioned.
14:24This match, the WWE wants nothing to do with this match.
14:28What's going to do with this chair?
14:30You hold harmless.
14:31And that is bad.
14:32No!
14:32Right in the lower back.
14:36Right in the spine of Shawn Michaels.
14:38And look at his face, King.
14:40That face tells this story.
14:42Michaels' legs are, his legs are, oh my God.
14:45It's got to be, oh no, it's not over.
14:47It's not over.
14:50I'm going to tell you, I'm just wondering if Shawn's doing the right thing by kicking out.
14:55I'll tell you what, this audience might be better off and much better off for his family if he just let this in.
15:01You might be right.
15:02This audience absolutely was hushed over what we're seeing here.
15:06They know the jeopardy, the danger that Shawn Michaels is in.
15:09But Shawn Michaels' heart maybe doesn't know it because it's still beating.
15:13He's still trying to fight back.
15:14But to no avail here.
15:15The game, six feet, four and a half.
15:18Look at that.
15:18260.
15:20Bustling up by Shawn Michaels.
15:21There's a roll up.
15:22There's a roll up.
15:23And Shawn Michaels, he just didn't have the strength to hold the game down.
15:28Right hands.
15:29Everything Shawn's got.
15:31Face.
15:33And again, Michaels back down the canvas.
15:35His arms.
15:36What a guy, he got his arms out.
15:38I want to see those arms and legs move.
15:40He doesn't have the strength, but he's got the heart.
15:43He's got too much heart.
15:45Again, the referee in his non-sanctioned match.
15:48Cannot stop it.
15:49Only one of the competitors can say, I quit.
15:51I give up.
15:52This match, one fall to a finish.
15:54I watch as I call it heart.
15:57You can call it heart or you can call it ego, but they're both too big when it comes to Shawn Michaels.
16:01Look at this.
16:02DDT on that steel chair.
16:05Scramming the brains of HBK.
16:07And now the game, boom, it's got to be over here.
16:10Look out, now it's not over.
16:11Shawn Michaels busted open.
16:13Shawn Michaels has been busted open with that face first into that chair.
16:18Damn sure did.
16:19And the game taken out the belt.
16:24The game taken out the belt while Shawn Michaels in quickly.
16:27What a call.
16:29Lash and Shawn Michaels like he was an animal with that leather belt.
16:34Michaels bleeding.
16:36You can hear the leather on the skin of a human being being beaten him.
16:43It's merciful.
16:45And unfortunately, like you said, it's all legal in this match.
16:47What a game.
16:48Anything methodically.
16:50He's got that metal belt buckle.
16:53And that's not a damn thing the referee can do about it.
16:57Those shots of that loaded right hand.
17:00Shawn Michaels on belt.
17:01And that more specifically, that big belt buckle being used as a weapon by Triple H.
17:08I'm going to tell you something, JR.
17:09I'm beginning to think this is, this has got to be the biggest mistake Shawn Michaels has ever made in his entire career.
17:14You may be right.
17:15You may be absolutely right.
17:17But again, the referee is helpless.
17:20The referee can't stop it.
17:22And Shawn Michaels, King, you know him as well as I.
17:24He will not quit.
17:25As long as he's breathing, he will not quit.
17:28And I'm afraid neither will Triple H.
17:30I'm afraid Triple H won't quit until he fulfills what he said he was going to do.
17:34He wants to cripple and main Shawn Michaels.
17:38Triple H wants to see Shawn Michaels in a damn wheelchair.
17:41And what kind of morbid, sick human being would even say something like that about another soul?
17:48What is Triple H looking for now?
17:49I have no earthly idea.
17:51God only knows what Triple H must be thinking or what he's contemplating here.
17:56Looking under the ring, Shawn Michaels trying to pull himself back up with every fiber in his being.
18:02Shawn Michaels, my God.
18:04You've got to be kidding me.
18:05Wait a minute.
18:06You've got to be kidding me.
18:07And surely the referee can stop this.
18:08The dance wasn't, the chairs were enough.
18:12Now we've got to stretch him.
18:14And the referee helped us.
18:18And look, Shawn Michaels taking back.
18:21Shawn Michaels fighting for his life here.
18:23She's got that right.
18:24Come on, Shawn, you're going to have to do something here.
18:26Michaels on his knees.
18:27Can he stand?
18:28Yes, he can.
18:29Swords the right hand.
18:32This crowd's heading for HBK.
18:34They're trying to carry him through.
18:36They're the most crucial match, the most crucial night of his entire life.
18:41What another hard.
18:43And the abdominal stretch, putting more pressure and torque on that lower body.
18:49Well, Shawn is like in a torture chamber.
18:52That's all Triple H's.
18:53He's just intent on torturing.
18:55I don't, I wish Shawn Michaels would just give it up here.
18:59Just give it up, Shawn.
19:01You made us all proud.
19:03You came back.
19:04You did everything you could.
19:05Everything under God's son you could do, you have done.
19:10The game is a, he is an executioner.
19:14He's an executioner with a PhD.
19:17And that's legal.
19:19We can't count him.
19:21There's no disqualifications here.
19:23I tell you, you can see that Earl Henry doesn't like it.
19:25He's doing everything you have.
19:26Well, Earl's got a heart.
19:27He's got a soul.
19:29He knows what's right and what's not.
19:30Oh, look at this.
19:33Earl, you're overmatched, my friend.
19:34Earl Henry's bowing right up to Triple H.
19:37I mean, he's getting right in Triple H's face.
19:39Well, I admire Earl Hedner's.
19:41I'm telling you right now, knock it off.
19:44I admire Earl Hedner's attitude and what he stands for.
19:48But remember, I'm telling you,
19:52Earl Hedner realizes when he saw that sledgehammer come out.
19:55He can't let anything go in this match.
19:58Earl Hedner's been in the eye of controversy in his career before.
20:01He knows.
20:02There's a shot to the midsection by Shawn Michaels.
20:05Earl doesn't want to be a part of seeing the demise of Shawn Michaels.
20:08To see Shawn Michaels confined to a wheelchair.
20:10To be maimed and crippled.
20:12But Shawn Michaels, he doesn't know that.
20:14He's running on adrenaline.
20:16But how much adrenaline can Shawn Michaels have left?
20:20It's adrenaline and it's instinct.
20:24You're right.
20:25There's not much of either one left right now.
20:26Shawn Michaels got to, Shawn fighting.
20:29You got to fight him.
20:30You know what Triple H is gonna try to do here.
20:32Right, that's why that's instinct.
20:34Shawn knows that would have been over for him if Triple H had hit a super clutch.
20:37And that's what the game would have liked to have done.
20:40The game wants to hear Michaels back snapped again.
20:43You've got to believe that's what the game wants to do.
20:45Break Michaels back here at SummerSlam.
20:47Now, wait a minute.
20:48What are you gonna try to do?
20:49My God, Shawn.
20:49You don't think you're gonna try to come up with an elbow.
20:51No!
20:53Man!
20:53What a chicken.
20:54Similar to what we saw earlier.
20:56The referee shoved into the ropes and Shawn Michaels losing his balance.
21:00What a crappy.
21:01No!
21:02No!
21:02No!
21:03No!
21:05Michaels helpless.
21:06Dinging upside down, just got a chair, shot right to the lower back.
21:14And I just, I'll tell you, JR, somehow when I heard all of those,
21:18that big diatribe from Triple H, the things he said about Shawn,
21:22somehow I hoped it wasn't true, but he really does, I mean,
21:25he really does want to cripple Shawn Michaels.
21:27What are you doing?
21:28Triple H hates Shawn Michaels.
21:30Triple H hates our fans.
21:32Why?
21:32He hates everybody with himself.
21:34What an egotist.
21:35What an evil egotist.
21:37Oh no, no, no.
21:38Oh my God!
21:39What a love of God.
21:40Look at that chair.
21:41And look at the man's back.
21:43A poor human being.
21:46Four years away from this carnage and combat.
21:50This is a sick human being, folks.
21:54Counting down, a quick counting.
21:56Get it.
21:57Oh no!
21:58Shawn, what are you doing?
21:59Shawn Michaels refusing to die.
22:01This is not smart.
22:04It may be his last match, but by God, he's not gonna quit.
22:09And what's the gang gonna do here?
22:11The Cerebral Assassin.
22:12What sick perverted thing does he have on his mind now with that steel chair?
22:17All he's got on his mind is, like you said, seeing Shawn in a wheelchair crippling the man.
22:23No!
22:25Sidewalk slam on that chair.
22:27The DDT on the chair is what busted Shawn open earlier.
22:30Michaels almost laying limp.
22:33Fast County Merle.
22:35Get it over with.
22:36And Shawn Michaels kicking out.
22:38Triple H trying to hook his hands, but Michaels kicks out again.
22:42Where's it coming from?
22:44The will to win, King.
22:47Or is it the will to survive and the game is getting frustrated?
22:51The sold out crowd here in the National Coliseum doing all they can to help.
22:58We knew this was gonna happen.
23:00And we knew, we said earlier, that no matter what, Shawn Michaels was gonna give us every ounce of everything he had.
23:08But he's done that.
23:09He doesn't need to give us anymore.
23:11He gave us for about 15 years of his life.
23:15Tonight's enough's enough.
23:17I'll tell you what.
23:19You know what I think?
23:20I think that Triple H somehow still feels like he's living in the shadow of under the cloud of Shawn Michaels.
23:27Of everything that Shawn Michaels has accomplished in this business.
23:30No.
23:31Almighty.
23:32You can see it coming, the pedigree.
23:34Did you see that coming, JR?
23:39Triple H is gonna pedigree Shawn Michaels on that steel chair.
23:42The chair has been mangled.
23:44Shawn Michaels' body's been mangled.
23:46And another part of Triple H's anatomy has obviously been mangled.
23:50Well, they'll get no sympathy from anybody in this arena.
23:53This crowd, trying to get Shawn Michaels back into it.
23:59These fans are doing all they can.
24:01And Michaels, Shawn trying to pull himself up.
24:04Look at Shawn.
24:05He can't get up on his own.
24:07He's near the Rose hole.
24:08He's got that chair.
24:10It's like a loaded gun.
24:12Again, he's gonna fire away again.
24:14No.
24:15Put it down, I'm telling you right now.
24:16Big team music.
24:17Right back in the chair.
24:18Right back in the face of the game.
24:20The big super kick, Shawn Michaels patented move, but it may have taken everything that Shawn Michaels had out of him.
24:33Exactly.
24:34It may have been everything that Shawn had left for that one sweet ten music.
24:38But the chair went right back in the face of the game.
24:41It's gonna happen to a nicer guy.
24:43Listen.
24:44Wow.
24:45That's a beautiful town.
24:47That's still all.
24:48Oh, look at this.
24:49Triple H has opened up.
24:51The game has been busted wide open at the hands of Shawn Michaels.
24:55Whoa.
24:56The super kick to the chair, and the game is bleeding profusely.
25:01Look at Shawn.
25:02Now he realizes he's capable of doing some serious damage here.
25:07Shawn Michaels now has opened up the game, but does Shawn have enough left in this tank to finish Triple H on?
25:14Triple H, one of the most feared competitors in the history of the world.
25:18WWE.
25:19Oh.
25:20Bleeding.
25:21He's dug down.
25:22Oh, wow.
25:23Oh, wow.
25:24Oh, wow.
25:25Shawn Michaels nipped up where it got stained.
25:27Did he get that?
25:28Whoa, JR.
25:29That's pure adrenaline right there.
25:31Shawn Michaels hammering the game.
25:33HBK.
25:34The body drop and the bloody game.
25:40I can assure you Shawn Michaels' son came completely out of his chair when he saw his dad do that.
25:46Look out.
25:47The game tried to block it, but to no avail.
25:54A Jason Giambi-like swing by Shawn Michaels.
25:58The steel tear between the eyes of the bloody and battered Triple H.
26:02These people can sense it.
26:07Shawn may have the opportunity to get a victory here.
26:11Reversal of the game going over the top.
26:15And here comes Shawn Michaels, right out after him.
26:18Shawn Michaels showing so much guts, so much courage.
26:22Listen to this.
26:24That is sick.
26:27That'll kill some brain cells.
26:29That'll scramble your brains.
26:31And now Shawn Michaels has got his old leather belt.
26:34It ain't as sick as what's related to his best friend.
26:38And now Shawn Michaels laying the leather.
26:41He returning the favor.
26:44Return the cinder for Shawn Michaels and that leather belt.
26:49Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something.
26:52When Shawn agreed to this match, I was just hoping he'd be able to survive.
26:57Now I think he can win.
26:59It's gonna be huge.
27:01I hope so, King, but this one I'm gonna believe is a long way from being over.
27:06Look at the lead fan.
27:11Shot that one.
27:17I don't know.
27:19Michael, get out of the way, Michael.
27:22I don't know if the game can stand it.
27:24Hey.
27:25Shawn Michaels just took off.
27:27Give us some minutes of our status and now see the game with the heel of that boot.
27:33That's a heel for a heel, isn't it?
27:37A heel for a heel.
27:39And now Shawn Michaels moving the furniture around.
27:42Where's Shawn Michaels going?
27:45Who guesses as good as mine?
27:48I'm surprised he's still in this thing.
27:50Look out!
27:51God!
27:52Come on, just bloody face bouncing off those steel steps from the pull-down of Shawn Michaels.
27:58My God, this is unbelievable somehow.
28:00Now what?
28:01Some way.
28:02Wait a minute.
28:03Uh-uh.
28:04Shawn, don't do it.
28:05Shawn Michaels, look at the smile of him.
28:09The innovator of the ladder match.
28:11He is the showstopper.
28:13Shawn Michaels pulled that ladder from under the ring.
28:16And remember, it's all legal.
28:18This is not sanctioned.
28:20We don't have to ask these people if they wanna see that.
28:27Of course they did, look out!
28:29Michael's using that ladder like a battering ram.
28:33Exploding in the face of Triple H.
28:36Shawn Michaels, Shawn Michaels, come on.
28:39Boom!
28:40Man, that's low.
28:42Come on!
28:43It's all right.
28:44And again, a shot of that south of the border there, maybe a couple of shots.
28:49But again, who's keeping score there?
28:51It's a non-sanctioned fight.
28:53Watch this move.
28:58Ladder right to the face.
29:00And the head of Triple H.
29:02My God, this is Arnie.
29:04Shawn put the brakes on.
29:05He blocked it.
29:06Shawn Michaels put the brakes on.
29:07Double leg takedown by Shawn Michaels.
29:09Uh-oh.
29:10Shawn Michaels, right into the ladder.
29:15The bloody face of the game.
29:18His face a crimson mask.
29:20Here at SummerSlam.
29:21I can assure you, never in his wildest dreams,
29:24did Triple H think for one minute that he'd be in this situation.
29:27Get him!
29:28Get him!
29:29Get him!
29:30Get him!
29:31No, Triple H never would have imagined that he would be bleeding a bloody mess at the hands of HBK.
29:42Absolutely not.
29:43But that's exactly what has happened here.
29:45Get him!
29:46Get him!
29:47The game, baseball sliding right into the ladder.
29:49And the ladder jamming Shawn Michaels' ribs.
29:51Look at how bad Triple H is bleeding.
29:53His hair is soaked, his face is covered.
29:57Triple H has lost a lot of blood.
29:59He's fading away here before our very eyes in this bloodbath, in this non-sanctioned matchup.
30:05Shawn, you gotta get up.
30:06You gotta take advantage of this.
30:08And Shawn Michaels, we may have seen Shawn Michaels' best chance of winning.
30:13Just leave us.
30:15Just go away after that ladder shot.
30:18The ladder just kicked right into the ribs and chest area of Shawn.
30:22Michaels' back has gotta be killing him.
30:25His body gotta be a rack of pain.
30:27Watch the gang go upstairs.
30:29The gang going upstairs and Shawn Michaels scored with right hands.
30:34This is not smart, Shawn.
30:36You don't need to be.
30:37Shawn Michaels, no, Shawn.
30:38It's gonna hurt you too.
30:39Don't do it!
30:40Don't do it!
30:41And a super flex!
30:42We saw Shawn though, he did turn to, he tried to round his side.
30:46The cover is gonna be, no!
30:48No!
30:49No!
30:50How close was that?
30:53Man!
30:54My God!
30:55How close was that?
30:57That was reversed.
31:00And-
31:01Whoa!
31:02My gosh!
31:03Look at that!
31:04The roll up!
31:05The roll up!
31:06The roll up!
31:07He's got- No, he doesn't!
31:08He's got enough strength in that back to hold the gang down.
31:09Hold the gang behind me, right to the face of Shawn Michaels.
31:13The game is awesome.
31:14There's no doubt about it.
31:16But he is so evil, so hideous.
31:18The cover!
31:19It belongs now!
31:20The game is awesome!
31:21What about Shawn Michaels?
31:22Shawn Michaels is off the page.
31:24This is beyond my wildest dreams that this match would go this long.
31:29And that Shawn Michaels would thus far be able to survive the most calculated,
31:34the most perfectly sound in-ring competitor in the entire WWE.
31:40Not just to mention Raw, but the WWE.
31:43Yeah, I guess he does know what he's doing.
31:47Triple H is staggering around.
31:49As you said, he's lost so much blood, he's gotta be in a weakened condition.
31:52The game bringing those stairs in.
31:55He's gonna hit Shawn Michaels with those stairs.
31:58That's exactly bullseye here.
32:00A dropped ho-ho!
32:02A dropped ho-ho!
32:03A dropped ho-ho!
32:04The game's face melting off those stairs!
32:06Hit him!
32:07Cover him!
32:08He's not down.
32:09Okay, he's barely able to stand, but so is Shawn Michaels.
32:13And Shawn Michaels, the bullseye, taking the game over.
32:17The game.
32:18They enrich this knee in that ladder, and Michael's going to win this
32:21corner.
32:22And Michael's going to the outside.
32:23What's he gonna get in that?
32:24No one else is under there.
32:25Oh!
32:26Hey!
32:27First there was a sledgehammer, the stairs, a ladder, and now a table.
32:33Well, these people were asking for tables.
32:35We want tables!
32:36Shawn has always been a man that would love to give the people what they want.
32:41He is a show stopper.
32:43But is this, will this backfire on Shawn Michaels?
32:46Ooh!
32:47What a knockdown, not a straight right hand.
32:49Triple H had its hands down.
32:51And that bloody, maybe he couldn't see it coming with so much blood in his face.
32:55You know what?
32:56Shawn Michaels setting this table up.
33:01And I have no earthly idea what Shawn Michaels has planned for Triple H.
33:06All sorts of stuff under that ring.
33:08Hey!
33:09Is that a fire extinguisher?
33:11Ooh!
33:12Yes!
33:13Right to the head.
33:14And the game landing on that table.
33:17No!
33:18My God, Shawn.
33:20Shawn Michaels, the Getty leg.
33:24He's going on guts.
33:25Look, yeah, you are.
33:26You're crazy.
33:27Don't do it, Shawn.
33:28There's a suicide move for Shawn Michaels.
33:31For these fans.
33:32Shawn Michaels putting his life on the line.
33:35God, the carnage.
33:37For the love of God Almighty.
33:41You know what?
33:43Shawn Michaels off the top, through the body of the game.
33:48I just wish I won't pin falls down anywhere.
33:51Because I think this one will be over here and now.
33:54See if you can drag him into the ring.
33:55Have you ever seen anything like that in your life, JR?
33:58Oh, my God.
33:59Shawn Michaels, the shape that he's in.
34:02Touch it again.
34:03Watch this.
34:05Good gosh.
34:08One more look at this.
34:10Unbelievable.
34:11Unbelievable.
34:13But it is truly vintage.
34:17Shawn Michaels, he just throws caution to the wind.
34:20No matter what condition his body's in.
34:22Two men from Raw giving us everything in their bodies.
34:26Every fiber of their being is on display here.
34:30And Michaels now bringing that ladder back in.
34:33The game has busted up.
34:35He may have internal injuries.
34:36That's shot to the top, through the table.
34:39And what a gosh man.
34:40Wait a minute now.
34:43John Michaels has said this is his.
34:46The one night only.
34:47He's doing it one more time.
34:49And by God, he's gonna leave us.
34:51With everything he's got.
34:53With something that we will never, ever forget him.
34:56Michaels on top of that.
35:00That 10 foot ladder.
35:01The referee is begging him not to do it.
35:04Shawn Michaels.
35:06Fans from the London God to the elbow.
35:11Right to the heart of the game.
35:13On the ladder.
35:14He's alright.
35:15He's okay.
35:16Hey.
35:18Yes, he realizes.
35:20He's still got it, JR.
35:22Shawn Michaels with the elbow from the ladder.
35:25And now King tuning up that band.
35:28Yes.
35:32One of the all time great hits.
35:34Number one with a bullet.
35:36Get up, Triple H.
35:38Get up and meet your best friend now.
35:40Triple H has lost a lot of blood in this bloodbath here at SummerSlam.
35:44Your friend's got some for you.
35:46Bang.
35:47No.
35:48It's blocked.
35:49I thought he had it.
35:50It was blocked.
35:51Oh no.
35:52Henry.
35:53My God.
35:54No.
35:55Michael, roll up.
35:56Will it be?
35:57Can it be?
35:58Yes.
35:59HBK.
36:00My God.
36:01HBK.
36:02Here is your winner.
36:04Number six.
36:05Unbreakable.
36:06Shawn Michaels.
36:08In 25 years, I've never seen as much courage, the will to win.
36:13What about that?
36:15What about that?
36:16A young man that's called the fame bound for nothing to prove.
36:22It was pride and passion.
36:24Revealing.
36:25My God.
36:26He hit him in the back with a slam.
36:30He hit him in the back with a slam.
36:32He hit him in the back.
36:33Triple H hit Shawn Michaels.
36:36Get that away from him.
36:38Get that hammer away.
36:39No.
36:40No.
36:41No.
36:42I don't fight.
36:43No.
36:44For God's sakes, no.
36:46Get somebody out here.
36:48God.
36:50No.
36:51Earl, get the hammer.
36:53No.
36:54No.
36:56No.
36:57No.
36:58I refuse to believe what I see.
37:02I refuse to believe what I see.
37:04I refuse to believe that that's the most courageous victory.
37:07Hurry up.
37:08That many of us have ever seen.
37:10That son of a bitch use that hammer.
37:13Well, sir, he's hitting twice with a sledgehammer.
37:17My God almighty.
37:19Triple H is gonna run.
37:22Hurry, hurry.
37:23He's gonna run into hell for what he did here tonight.
37:29No.
37:30This makes me sick.
37:33God.
37:34Are you proud of yourself now?
37:36Look at that stinking smile on his face.
37:38How in God's name can that human being be from this planet?
37:42Does he have no conscience?
37:44Does he have no heart?
37:45Do you have no soul?
37:47You son of a bitch.
37:48Do you realize what you've just done?
37:50He said he was gonna leave Shawn Michaels in a wheelchair.
37:55He may have just done it.
37:56How in God's name can he be smiling?
37:58The gang is laughing at his accomplishments.
38:01HBK beat your ass.
38:05And now you may have succeeded in what you wanted to do, damn you.
38:10I can't believe it.
38:13This is absolutely perverse.
38:17Not once, but two.
38:20Two times he throw that sledgehammer into Shawn's back.
38:23We always have a position here in our events.
38:27And they got a collar on Shawn, my God.
38:30Let's see this one more time.
38:32The gang, but his credit blocked the sweet chin music.
38:37But what a counter to the Pedigree King.
38:40What a counter.
38:43What a victory.
38:44My God, what a moment in WWE history.
38:47Yeah, but speaking of moments.
38:48Look, look at this.
38:49God.
38:54I mean, with no malice, total malice, no conscience.
39:00And one was enough, but no.
39:02Look at this low light.
39:03He wanted Shawn to look you with the eyes.
39:05I did it, Shawn.
39:06I did it, Shawn.
39:07And we just may have seen the game.
39:10His prophecy may have come true.
39:13The game wanted to put Shawn Michaels in a wheelchair.
39:19Oh, God.
39:21Damn Triple H said that Shawn Michaels would have to be carried out from this match.
39:27Just imagine.
39:28After one of the most awesome performances I've ever seen in 25 years for it to end like this.
39:34But the hands of Triple H is by God repulsive.
39:38Just amazing to me.
39:40I cannot believe.
39:41The courage of Shawn Michaels was absolutely amazing.
39:44But what Triple H has done to Shawn Michaels is absolutely uncalled for.
39:50It's pathetic.
39:51And he can't do a damn thing about it because it's unsanctioned.
39:54He's a low light.
39:55It's as simple as that.
39:56I mean, an absolute low light.
