J.R. - I’m Jim Ross alongside THE Tazz!
J.R. - At Unforgiven, we saw the Game retain the WWE Title!
Tazz - The WWE Title changed hands SEVEN TIMES DURING THE SCRAMBLE!
HHH - If ya didn’t see Unforgiven, you need to. If, for some reason, you didn’t get to see the scramble matches, you need to. The second it comes out, buy the DVD - because I get really good residuals, but also because IT’S AWESOME! It was UNBELIEVABLE! The titles changed hands like a hundred times, there were THOUSANDS OF CHANGES! CM Punk got PUNKED OUT by Randy Orton, it allowed Jericho to win the lottery, MATT HARDY FINALLY WON THE BIG ONE, a giant cheated death, and Rey Mysterio came out with the craziest Mohawk you’ll ever see in your entire life. But only one man walked in and walked out as Champion…. They said I had an 80% chance of losing the title, maybe for those other guys, but not me - I’M THE GAME, and if ya see my name on the card, bet on it, because it’s a sure thing. That scramble was one of the most difficult matches ever, but as always, I found a way - with just one little second, I was able…(Jeff Hardy comes out)
Jeff - Congratulations HHH, IS HE NOT THE MAN!? I mean you beat me fair and square in the scramble. You’re still the champ. You truly are THE KING OF KINGS, you’re awesome! Everyone here and in that locker room respects you, and so do I. And in this WWE Universe, you’re like a legend, like a God, you’ve got it all!
HHH - Okay hot shot, okay Jeff…while I appreciate you giving me all your heartfelt praise…let me tell you how much I respect you… I do! I respect you, I admire you…I admire your passion for this business, your desire, I respect the fact that every night you go in the ring and you put your body on the line like no one else in history has done. I respect that you dance to the beat of your own drum and you don’t care about what anyone else thinks about it, and that no matter what, you reach up for that brass ring, Jeff, you reach to try and get it…but you’re always just ONE SECOND AWAY! (fans boo) Kinda the story of your life, isn’t it Jeff?
Jeff - Maybe you’re right, maybe I am just one step away…Or maybe, I just never had the right people to PUSH ME along! Maybe I never had THE KLIQ, maybe I never had DX, or maybe I just didn’t have family! Because if I did, I might have what you have!
HHH - Maybe that’s true, maybe you would have that. Although have you forgotten about your brother Matt - you remember him, right? You were in a tag team with him, it was when you had the most success you ever had in your career, hell, your entire life. In fact, a lot of peole thought you were better, but today, Matt’s a champion… The thing is, it wasn’t that you were better then, or a better wrestler then him, you had your brother Matt to keep you on the straight and narrow. Because the fact is since you’ve been away from him, you haven’t been able to focus on business well enough to get what you want most in life. That might sound harsh, but here’s the thing Jeff, I don’t want to get into some bitter argument with you - it doesn’t do you or me any good, the fact is whether you believe it or not, the honest to God truth is I DO RESPECT YOU - I respect everything you’ve done in this business. Tonight, you have a fatal four way where the winner goes onto face me for the WWE Title - I hope that you win.
Jeff - I will.
HHH - I hope, tonight, you prove me wrong. Because no matter what happens tonight, when you get to No Mercy, you’ll prove me right.
Tazz - Natalya, the power diva!
J.R. - Just don’t talk about her hips - she might think it’s mean.
Tazz - The divas of the WWE are gorgeous - maybe I should dye my hair red.
J.R. - We’ll talk about that later.
Tazz - Flying mare by Brie Bella…that’s old-school!
J.R. - Natalya, the first third-generation diva in WWE history.
J.R. - Maryse - Pat Patterson’s favorite diva.
Tazz - Really!?
J.R. - Yup, she’s French Canadian.
Tazz - Ah.
J.R. - Natalya and Maryse - the Canadian Connection if you will.
R-Truth - IF YA FEEL ME, STAND UP AND SAY WHAT’S UP! THE WWE - THIS IS WHERE IT’S AT! I’M GONNA BE ONE OF THE BADDEST YOUNG BROTHAS THAT EVER BEEN IN THIS GAME! WHAT’S UP! WHAT’S UP! THE WWE, THIS IS WHERE IT’S AT!
Tazz - If I was still In the ring, i wouldn’t want to be in a scramble.
J.R. - I’d love to see one again though.
Tazz - ME TOO!
(after the koppou kick)Tazz - Chavo almost made R-Truth tell the Truth!
(after an R-Truth bicycle kick)J.R. - What agility by R-Truth!
J.R. - Bam Neely just jerked R-Truth off THE TURNBUCKLE!
(after Bam costs him a match)Chavo - I PAY YOU TO DO YOUR JOB, AND IF THAT’S HOW YOU’RE GONNA DO YOUR JOB, YOU’RE NOT GETTING PAID TODAY!
(after pushing Chavo)Neely - YOU WANNA PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME, THEN PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME!
Shelton - May I help you?
HHH - Sure - hey, she’s hot - think I got a shot? I don’t understand why you have to compete tonight, because you were the only guy who wasn’t pinned in the scramble. Jeff Hardy seems pretty intent…
Shelton - JEFF HARDY!?
HHH - Yeah, he said he’s gonna reach for the brass ring…
Shelton - I don’t reach for brass rings - I’m gonna grab for your gold title!
HHH - Cool…
Shelton - Yeah, cool…
Tazz - Last week, we had THREE TIMES MORE VIEWERS THAN COLLEGE FOOTBALL ON ESPN!
(after Jesse and Festus bring out a MyMoving Co box)J.R. - I see a box, a dolly…
Tazz - That’s a hand truck, not a dolly - you’ve never been a stock boy in your life. I have.
J.R. - I don’t want to move, I just got here!
Dykstra - I’M A 22 YEAR OLD STUD, and yet I still don’t get the respect I deserve. So what do I have to do to get respect? Dress like a garbage man? I ‘m about to take the garbage out to the dumpster right…now!
J.R. - Kenny’s getting duct-taped by Jesse and Festus - I don’t know why - I’M NOT DR. PHIL!
Tazz - They’re moving men!
J.R. - Kenny’s being moved all right, BUT TO WHERE!?
Jesse - IT’S MOVIN’ TIME!
Vickie - Excuse me one moment…I SAID EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE MEEEEEEE! The Undertaker made several threats towards me before Unforgiven - he threatened to take my soul, he threatened to send me to the fiery depths of HELL! But as all of you witnessed, the Undertaker did not send me to Hell at Unforgiven. And he did not take my soul! He couldn’t even take my dog! I AM STILL YOUR GENERAL MANAGER OF SMACKDOWN! The Undertaker threatened me and I literally spit in his face! But I didn’t do this alone - ladies and gentlemen, please let me introduce the man who helped me, he is the world’s largest athlete, the Big Show!
Show - You see, a couple of weeks ago, after the Undertaker destroyed Edge in the Cell and Vickie’s family abandoned her - Vickie approached me for help. First, I didn’t want to do it - what the hell did she do to help me? And then I thought what made the Undertaker so special? Everyone has to obey their GM, and the Undertaker thinks he’s above all that. You may be above many things, but no one is above me! We showed him that if he has to follow the rules, then so do I - I know what’s best for SmackDown, and I know what’s best for you. After showing the Undertaker who is in charge of Smack Down - we are a true power couple - there won’t be any wedding rings - this is strictly just business, and this is a journey that results in me having the WWE Title around my waist, but to get that, I have to give Vickie what she wants - an apology from the Undertaker. And if you’re not sorry now, I will personally make sure you will be.
J.R. - It’s Funaki and Scotty Goldman...sounds like a New York law firm. They may need to file their injury claims later.
Kozlov - I CAME HERE BECAUSE I SAW SMACKDOWN WILL GIVE ME CHALLENGE! I DEMAND BETTER CHALLENGE! IF NO ONE WILL GIVE ME CHALLENGE, I WILL FIND ONE MYSELF!
(looking over Ezekial shoulder as he reads WWE Magazine)HHH - Look at that outfit, that’ll never get over…
Kendrick - Hunter, can I help you?
HHH - THE Brian Kendrick - I just wanted to wish you luck
Kendrick - I was the longest-reigning champion in the HISTORY of the championship scramble.
HHH - Just between us, I was rooting for you the whole time. Of all the losers there were that night, you were by far the biggest!
Carlito - Primo and Carlito - brothers, teaming up for the very first time on SmackDown.
Primo - It’s never gonna be the same.
Carlito - Ya gotta do something about your hair - Primo and Carlito - that’s cool!
(on Carlito’s hair)J.R. - Don’t you wish you had hair like that?
Tazz - Well…I’d look different.
J.R. - There’s a natural chemistry between Carlito and Primo as brothers. Kinda like us.
Tazz - Yeah, we’re two brothers from different mothers!
HHH - Hey, it’s the king of bling - MVP!
MVP - I’m in the fatal four-way.
HHH - Why?
MVP - Because I’m the highest-paid wrestler in SmackDown history!
HHH - I can understand Jeff being in, he lasted until the end. Kendrick was the longest-reigning champion in scramble history, or so he says, and Shelton was never pinned. You…. I hope you don’t choke like you did Sunday night.
(after Starrcade ‘83 Flair-Race clips air)J.R. - It’s great to hear Bob Caudle, the late Gordon Solie, WWE Hall of Famer, and Gene Kiniski!
Shelton - For those who don’t understand why I’m called the gold standard, it’s because I shine brighter than all other. I will face HHH for the WWE Title at No Mercy, and you WILL understand why I am the gold standard.
J.R. - LARIAT-LIKE CLOTHESLINE FROM JEFF HARDY!
