1
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:03,436
[The Rock] The absolute best
part about being here
2
00:00:03,437 --> 00:00:06,240
in Sacramento is in about
an hour and a half
3
00:00:06,273 --> 00:00:09,510
The Rock is going to
leave Sacramento.
4
00:00:09,511 --> 00:00:11,477
[Michael Cole] There's nothing
quite
5
00:00:11,478 --> 00:00:12,879
like the proverbial mic drop.
6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,282
[Ric Flair] That I will never
retire.
7
00:00:15,283 --> 00:00:15,882
[crowd cheers]
8
00:00:15,883 --> 00:00:17,084
[Ric] Woo.
9
00:00:17,085 --> 00:00:19,318
[Michael] Every WWE superstar
has a voice-
10
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:20,420
[Edge] Check it out.
11
00:00:20,421 --> 00:00:21,320
[Michael] -and every one of them
wants to make
12
00:00:21,321 --> 00:00:22,789
a lasting impression.
13
00:00:23,357 --> 00:00:25,407
[CM Punk] Did you expect
somebody else?
14
00:00:25,408 --> 00:00:28,494
[Michael] The 2000s gave us some
of the most
15
00:00:28,495 --> 00:00:29,662
memorable verbal jabs
that left
16
00:00:29,663 --> 00:00:32,031
the WWE Universe
speechless.
17
00:00:32,698 --> 00:00:36,636
[Paul Heyman] What you got is my
ideas, and you stole my life,
18
00:00:36,637 --> 00:00:39,172
my money, my legacy.
19
00:00:39,173 --> 00:00:42,041
[Michael] Today, we look back of
some of the biggest mic drop
20
00:00:42,042 --> 00:00:43,876
moments of the 2000s.
21
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:47,281
This is WWE's Greatest Moments.
22
00:00:47,314 --> 00:00:49,650
[Ric] Woo.
[Kurt Angle] Woo.
23
00:00:49,683 --> 00:00:51,852
[Triple H] Enough, enough.
24
00:00:51,853 --> 00:00:53,119
[WWE's Greatest Moments music]
25
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,120
[The Rock] If you smell-
26
00:00:54,121 --> 00:00:55,121
[Michael] Oh, my God.
27
00:00:55,122 --> 00:00:56,502
What the hell are you doing?
28
00:00:57,691 --> 00:00:59,621
[Jim Ross] Absolutely
unbelievable.
29
00:01:00,127 --> 00:01:02,117
[Gorilla Monsoon] Hulkamania is
here.
30
00:01:05,186 --> 00:01:10,803
[Michael] Welcome, everyone,
to WWE's Greatest Moments.
31
00:01:10,804 --> 00:01:13,739
I'm Michael Cole, and on this
edition, we're looking back at
32
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:16,610
some of the wildest mic drop
moments of the 2000s.
33
00:01:16,611 --> 00:01:19,245
[John Cena] Ain't no way that
I'm going to lose
34
00:01:19,246 --> 00:01:21,548
to that King Kong rip-off.
35
00:01:22,549 --> 00:01:25,886
That's like Gary Coleman beating
Patrick Ewing in a tip-off.
36
00:01:27,854 --> 00:01:28,904
??
37
00:01:28,905 --> 00:01:29,956
[Michael] You're probably
wondering
38
00:01:29,957 --> 00:01:31,991
what our first
moment is.
39
00:01:31,992 --> 00:01:35,062
What else could we start with
than paying homage
40
00:01:35,162 --> 00:01:38,365
to WWE Hall of Famer "Stone
Cold" Steve Austin?
41
00:01:38,366 --> 00:01:40,800
[Steve Austin] Give me a hell
yeah.
42
00:01:40,801 --> 00:01:42,121
[crowd yells "Hell yeah"]
43
00:01:42,122 --> 00:01:43,436
[Michael] Throughout
the Attitude Era,
44
00:01:43,437 --> 00:01:46,607
whatever Stone Cold did every
week
45
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,170
raised hell and brought
audiences to their feet,
46
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:51,793
and that included his litany
of catchphrases.
47
00:01:52,145 --> 00:01:55,349
[Steve] And that's the bottom
line because Stone Cold said so.
48
00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:59,518
[Michael] What could be better
than when the Texas Rattlesnake
49
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:01,188
got under his opponent's skin?
50
00:02:02,189 --> 00:02:06,493
And in 2001, he was able to do
so with just one simple word-
51
00:02:06,494 --> 00:02:07,360
[crowd yells "What?"]
52
00:02:07,361 --> 00:02:08,026
[Michael] -term-
53
00:02:08,027 --> 00:02:08,793
[crowd yells "What?"]
54
00:02:08,794 --> 00:02:09,962
[Michael] -expression.
55
00:02:09,963 --> 00:02:11,103
[crowd yells "What?"]
56
00:02:14,501 --> 00:02:16,731
[Jim] Here comes "Stone Cold"
Steve Austin.
57
00:02:16,732 --> 00:02:17,870
[Kevin Owens] This one I
remember.
58
00:02:17,871 --> 00:02:20,506
It was in a promo with, I
believe, The Alliance.
59
00:02:20,507 --> 00:02:23,143
[Steve] Your name is Hugh
Morris.
60
00:02:23,243 --> 00:02:25,312
What?
61
00:02:25,345 --> 00:02:29,049
Your name is Hugh Morris.
62
00:02:29,082 --> 00:02:30,132
What?
63
00:02:30,133 --> 00:02:31,951
And I was just saying "What?"
64
00:02:31,952 --> 00:02:34,220
all over him, and, uh, I was
doing it to be a jackass.
65
00:02:34,221 --> 00:02:36,156
You're an announcer.
66
00:02:36,189 --> 00:02:37,658
What?
67
00:02:37,691 --> 00:02:39,426
Did you say something?
68
00:02:39,427 --> 00:02:42,228
[Kevin] The way Steve played it
off, the way Tazz played it off,
69
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:45,799
and then from then on the way
everyone else played it off.
70
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,832
[Steve] What?
71
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:47,667
What?
72
00:02:47,668 --> 00:02:48,401
What?
73
00:02:48,402 --> 00:02:49,970
[crowd yells "What?"]
74
00:02:49,971 --> 00:02:50,469
[Tajiri] What?
75
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:51,003
[Steve] What?
76
00:02:51,004 --> 00:02:51,470
[Tajiri] What?
77
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:52,521
[Steve] Shut up.
78
00:02:52,522 --> 00:02:56,442
[The Miz] And Austin was so good
at finding different ways to,
79
00:02:56,443 --> 00:02:59,780
whenever someone said, "What?",
he'd be like, this, this, this.
80
00:02:59,781 --> 00:03:01,280
[Steve] I looked down at my
waist and I said,
81
00:03:01,281 --> 00:03:02,114
"Do you see that?"
82
00:03:02,115 --> 00:03:03,082
[crowd yells "What?"]
83
00:03:03,083 --> 00:03:04,451
[Steve] He said, "What?"
84
00:03:04,452 --> 00:03:05,317
[crowd yells "What?"]
85
00:03:05,318 --> 00:03:05,985
[Steve] I said, "Do you see
that?"
86
00:03:05,986 --> 00:03:06,852
[crowd yells "What?"]
87
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:08,120
[Steve] That's what he said.
88
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:09,322
He said, "What?"
89
00:03:09,323 --> 00:03:10,523
It's just one of those things
that rode the lightning bolt
90
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:11,524
as it happened.
91
00:03:11,525 --> 00:03:13,126
I was just watching it unfold.
92
00:03:13,127 --> 00:03:13,926
[Stephanie McMahon] I'm-
93
00:03:13,927 --> 00:03:14,527
[Steve] What?
94
00:03:14,528 --> 00:03:15,161
[Stephanie stammers]
95
00:03:15,162 --> 00:03:15,628
[Steve] What?
96
00:03:15,629 --> 00:03:16,228
What?
97
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:16,796
What?
98
00:03:16,797 --> 00:03:17,931
[Stephanie screams]
99
00:03:17,932 --> 00:03:20,399
[The Miz] To this day, used,
because it's so simple,
100
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,637
maybe the greatest
catchphrase of all time.
101
00:03:23,638 --> 00:03:26,405
Even if it is a catchphrase,
it's just a word.
102
00:03:26,406 --> 00:03:27,440
[Steve] What?
103
00:03:27,441 --> 00:03:28,642
[crowd yells "What?"]
104
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:31,912
??
105
00:03:31,913 --> 00:03:33,345
[Michael] D-Generation X was
often called the most
106
00:03:33,346 --> 00:03:36,183
controversial group in WWE
history.
107
00:03:36,184 --> 00:03:38,284
[Shawn Michaels] We are the
D-Generation X.
108
00:03:38,285 --> 00:03:42,456
You make your rules and we will
break them.
109
00:03:42,489 --> 00:03:44,791
[Shawn and Triple H] We got two
words for ya.
110
00:03:44,825 --> 00:03:47,761
[Michael] With the WWE Universe
all in on the fun,
111
00:03:47,794 --> 00:03:51,698
DX would make WWE true
must-see television.
112
00:03:52,386 --> 00:03:57,269
[Vince McMahon] I barred DX
from this arena tonight.
113
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:58,705
[crowd boos]
114
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:01,509
[Shawn] Hunter, it's Vince's
production truck.
115
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:04,485
The whole show is controlled
from in here.
116
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:08,314
We were just going out there and
kind of being idiots.
117
00:04:08,315 --> 00:04:11,952
[Vince] Now they're in my
television production unit.
118
00:04:11,985 --> 00:04:13,620
I will not have that.
119
00:04:13,621 --> 00:04:14,920
[Triple H] Which button did he
tell you not to push?
120
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:16,189
[Sound Engineer] No, no.
121
00:04:16,289 --> 00:04:17,690
[Shawn] That-
That one.
122
00:04:17,691 --> 00:04:18,590
[Triple H] Push it.
123
00:04:18,591 --> 00:04:19,892
[Sound Engineer] No.
124
00:04:19,893 --> 00:04:20,725
[Vince] So, therefore,
125
00:04:20,726 --> 00:04:23,597
[mic cuts]
126
00:04:23,598 --> 00:04:24,163
I'm gonna
127
00:04:24,164 --> 00:04:25,465
[mic cuts]
128
00:04:25,466 --> 00:04:28,100
[Peter Rosenberg] And just
driving Vince McMahon crazy.
129
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:31,051
[Vince] I'm gonna take care of
DX, I can guarantee you that.
130
00:04:31,071 --> 00:04:33,974
No one ever is going to-
131
00:04:33,975 --> 00:04:35,708
[Bruce Prichard] It's off the
cuff.
132
00:04:35,709 --> 00:04:38,311
It's- it's let's just go create.
133
00:04:38,345 --> 00:04:41,715
Let's go knock this out of the
park, and that's what they did.
134
00:04:41,716 --> 00:04:43,916
[Vince] All of you people think
this is funny.
135
00:04:43,917 --> 00:04:47,953
[crowd cheers]
136
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:49,923
[farting sound]
137
00:04:51,117 --> 00:04:54,560
[Triple H] To be able
to go into that
138
00:04:54,561 --> 00:04:57,230
at that point in our
careers and just be funny,
139
00:04:57,330 --> 00:05:00,200
or at least what we thought was
funny, that was a blast.
140
00:05:00,201 --> 00:05:02,234
[Jerry Lawler] I cannot believe
that Mr. McMahon
141
00:05:02,235 --> 00:05:05,472
has lost complete control
of his own show.
142
00:05:08,475 --> 00:05:12,012
[Michael] In 2005, Edge was one
of the top villains in WWE.
143
00:05:12,679 --> 00:05:16,116
[Edge] In life, there's winners
and there's losers.
144
00:05:19,019 --> 00:05:21,755
Me, I'm a winner.
145
00:05:21,788 --> 00:05:23,456
[laughing]
146
00:05:23,457 --> 00:05:25,558
[Michael] He continued his road
of controversy when he
147
00:05:25,559 --> 00:05:29,395
began dating Lita, igniting an
extremely personal rivalry with
148
00:05:29,396 --> 00:05:31,898
Lita's ex, Matt Hardy.
149
00:05:31,899 --> 00:05:33,866
[Matt Hardy] You bastard, I'm
going to make
150
00:05:33,867 --> 00:05:34,968
your life miserable.
151
00:05:34,969 --> 00:05:37,002
[Michael] And The Rated-R
Superstar
152
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:39,206
had quite the volatile reaction.
153
00:05:40,059 --> 00:05:43,108
[Edge] I saw your promo
last week, Matt,
154
00:05:43,109 --> 00:05:45,045
and I think it was pathetic.
155
00:05:45,078 --> 00:05:46,713
It was absolutely pathetic.
156
00:05:46,714 --> 00:05:49,715
After all the months of dragging
our names through the mud,
157
00:05:49,716 --> 00:05:53,086
our personal lives out there for
everyone to see, and that's all
158
00:05:53,119 --> 00:05:56,322
you can muster up from your
stomach, from your guts.
159
00:05:56,323 --> 00:05:58,524
Instead of going into a shell,
I got to be a man here,
160
00:05:58,525 --> 00:06:01,228
I got to step up, I got to set
my shoulders,
161
00:06:01,328 --> 00:06:02,529
pick my head up, and go.
162
00:06:02,530 --> 00:06:04,363
My hands are shaking, and it's
from hate.
163
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:06,132
It's a real emotion, Matt.
164
00:06:06,133 --> 00:06:09,001
[Matt Cardona] You can just tell
when Edge's hands are shaking,
165
00:06:09,002 --> 00:06:11,837
like, he's not cutting a promo
that he rehearsed all day.
166
00:06:11,838 --> 00:06:13,006
This was real life.
167
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:14,574
[Edge] This is passion.
168
00:06:14,575 --> 00:06:15,474
This is intensity.
169
00:06:15,475 --> 00:06:16,643
This is real.
170
00:06:16,644 --> 00:06:19,044
[Matt] The comments were real
personal.
171
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:22,315
[Edge] And this is why Lita left
you for me.
172
00:06:22,316 --> 00:06:25,851
[Matt] If we would have probably
been in the same room
173
00:06:25,852 --> 00:06:27,486
at that time, we'd have
been in a fight.
174
00:06:27,487 --> 00:06:29,288
[Edge] You're in the main event
picture now, and why?
175
00:06:29,289 --> 00:06:33,560
Because your girlfriend fell in
love with a main eventer.
176
00:06:33,561 --> 00:06:36,562
And if the only positive that
can come from that is that I am
177
00:06:36,563 --> 00:06:39,966
the most despised guy in this
industry, I'm going to use it,
178
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,635
and I'm going to get to the top.
179
00:06:41,636 --> 00:06:43,502
Now, I know that cuts close to
the bone.
180
00:06:43,503 --> 00:06:45,605
I know it does, and I know it
hurts.
181
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,009
The truth usually does.
182
00:06:50,236 --> 00:06:53,245
[Triple H] I am
The [bleep] Game, JR.
183
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:55,080
[Michael] Since declaring
himself The Game,
184
00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:58,818
Triple H has certainly been a
cerebral assassin on the mic.
185
00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:04,024
[Triple H] I do what I want to
do when I want to do it.
186
00:07:04,124 --> 00:07:09,062
It's hard to be humble when
you're this good.
187
00:07:09,063 --> 00:07:10,863
[Michael] And after losing the
World Heavyweight Championship
188
00:07:10,864 --> 00:07:15,168
to Batista, an irate Triple H
showed what a verbal
189
00:07:15,201 --> 00:07:17,203
assassin he could be.
190
00:07:19,906 --> 00:07:23,944
[Triple H] Last night at
WrestleMania,
191
00:07:24,044 --> 00:07:27,080
I lost the World Heavyweight
Championship.
192
00:07:27,113 --> 00:07:30,283
[crowd chants "Batista"]
193
00:07:30,284 --> 00:07:32,851
[Carmelo Hayes] One of the
things that makes Triple H
194
00:07:32,852 --> 00:07:35,154
so great on the mic is his feel
195
00:07:35,155 --> 00:07:38,123
the grr come through, like, this
guy's pissed.
196
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:40,960
[Triple H] But for anybody that
thinks this is the beginning
197
00:07:40,961 --> 00:07:44,397
of a new era, you are wrong.
198
00:07:45,231 --> 00:07:48,134
That anger, that hatred inside
of you will burn,
199
00:07:48,135 --> 00:07:49,635
and you'll be able to put
that out there
200
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:51,203
and you'll make people
buy into that.
201
00:07:51,204 --> 00:07:55,709
That championship belt
gravitates towards greatness.
202
00:07:55,742 --> 00:08:00,413
That means it will come back to
me.
203
00:08:00,414 --> 00:08:01,947
[Matt Cardona] He knows how to
control his emotions,
204
00:08:01,948 --> 00:08:04,116
but he couldn't in this promo,
and you could tell.
205
00:08:04,117 --> 00:08:06,552
Like, whoever is going to mess
with Triple H now is going to
206
00:08:06,553 --> 00:08:07,953
get a sledgehammer to the skull.
207
00:08:07,954 --> 00:08:13,226
[Triple H] I will come back here
and I will jam that championship
208
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:20,000
belt down each and every one of
your throats.
209
00:08:20,767 --> 00:08:22,602
[crowd cheers]
210
00:08:22,822 --> 00:08:26,205
[Michael] One of the most
popular women
211
00:08:26,206 --> 00:08:29,376
superstars of all time would
have to be WWE Hall of Famer,
212
00:08:29,409 --> 00:08:30,944
Lita.
213
00:08:30,977 --> 00:08:34,179
[Chris Jericho] She's the Queen
of Extreme.
214
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:37,349
[Michael] Lita's high-flying
maneuvers and authenticity
215
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:39,686
made her a fan favorite for many
years.
216
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,489
[Jim] Tremendous ovation for
Lita.
217
00:08:43,188 --> 00:08:45,524
[Michael] But in 2006, the fiery
redhead
218
00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:46,726
showed a new side to her.
219
00:08:47,594 --> 00:08:48,914
[Jim] Oh, right in the face.
220
00:08:48,928 --> 00:08:49,995
Come on.
221
00:08:49,996 --> 00:08:51,131
[bell rings]
222
00:08:51,164 --> 00:08:55,802
[Lita] Your winner and still WWE
Women's Champion, Lita.
223
00:08:55,803 --> 00:09:00,005
[Michael] In November of that
year, Lita went off on the WWE
224
00:09:00,006 --> 00:09:03,143
Universe, saying she felt
underappreciated for all her
225
00:09:03,243 --> 00:09:06,446
contributions, and made a
shocking announcement.
226
00:09:08,394 --> 00:09:11,583
[Lita] You people seem to
forget.
227
00:09:11,584 --> 00:09:13,219
You have a very
short memory,
228
00:09:13,253 --> 00:09:16,256
forgetting who I am
and what I've done.
229
00:09:17,524 --> 00:09:21,995
At the end of 2006,
I come out total heel
230
00:09:22,028 --> 00:09:23,930
and do what needed to be done.
231
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:27,834
Getting verbally berated by you
idiots every week.
232
00:09:28,168 --> 00:09:30,578
[Bayley] Seeing her be rude to
fans was really,
233
00:09:30,603 --> 00:09:31,983
for me, like heartbreaking.
234
00:09:32,338 --> 00:09:34,107
[Lita] All the sacrifices I
made.
235
00:09:34,774 --> 00:09:37,577
[Ethan Page] Sometimes talent
reaches a point
236
00:09:37,578 --> 00:09:39,211
where they feel like they
haven't
237
00:09:39,212 --> 00:09:40,722
been given their
flowers yet.
238
00:09:40,723 --> 00:09:42,648
Lita had definitely reached that
point.
239
00:09:42,649 --> 00:09:47,787
[Lita] I revolutionized women's
roles in the WWE.
240
00:09:47,788 --> 00:09:49,488
[Matt] It might have came across
as bitter,
241
00:09:49,489 --> 00:09:50,489
but she was telling the truth.
242
00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:51,891
Like, she set the standard.
243
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:54,994
[Lita] So you're gonna make my
job real easy,
244
00:09:55,028 --> 00:09:58,363
because Survivor Series is
my last match.
245
00:09:58,364 --> 00:09:59,732
[Jerry] What?
246
00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:01,101
[Jim] Last match?
247
00:10:01,835 --> 00:10:04,485
[Lita] And then I'm walking away
from all you people.
248
00:10:04,486 --> 00:10:07,739
[Matt] Lita wouldn't be on the
list, like, the top 10 promo
249
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:09,509
cutters of all time.
250
00:10:09,510 --> 00:10:11,877
But when it's real, and you feel
it, and it's from your gut and
251
00:10:11,878 --> 00:10:13,580
your heart, it speaks for
itself.
252
00:10:14,180 --> 00:10:18,117
[Lita] I'm going to retire the
greatest Women's Champion
253
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:19,886
of all time.
254
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:21,121
[crowd boos]
255
00:10:21,122 --> 00:10:26,525
[Michael] In 2009, "The Greatest
of All Time" John Cena
256
00:10:26,526 --> 00:10:30,063
was at the top of his game as
WWE Champion.
257
00:10:30,096 --> 00:10:35,735
[John] I have earned the right
to say the champ is here.
258
00:10:35,736 --> 00:10:38,604
[Michael] But on the mic, gave
his rivals
259
00:10:38,605 --> 00:10:40,673
quite the Attitude Adjustment.
260
00:10:40,674 --> 00:10:42,608
[John] If you want a shot at
this championship,
261
00:10:42,609 --> 00:10:45,812
you lace your boots up real
tight, and you work for it.
262
00:10:46,379 --> 00:10:49,629
[Michael] Including number one
contender at the time, Sheamus.
263
00:10:52,752 --> 00:10:55,021
[John] Now standing before
me is Sheamus,
264
00:10:55,121 --> 00:10:57,790
demanding that I
take him seriously.
265
00:10:57,791 --> 00:11:00,559
I suggested to have a match with
Sheamus,
266
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:02,394
and Sheamus was really early on
in his career,
267
00:11:02,395 --> 00:11:04,631
and I remember how promising
Sheamus was.
268
00:11:05,865 --> 00:11:09,302
I stand before you a champion
because I never have given up.
269
00:11:09,402 --> 00:11:12,112
I stand before you a champion
because I have earned it.
270
00:11:12,113 --> 00:11:15,440
I stand before you a champion
because everyone in this arena,
271
00:11:15,441 --> 00:11:18,043
because everyone watching at
home, whether they like me or
272
00:11:18,044 --> 00:11:20,680
they don't like me, know that
this is my life,
273
00:11:20,713 --> 00:11:23,616
this is my passion, this
is all I got.
274
00:11:24,517 --> 00:11:27,153
The beautiful thing about me
saying that
275
00:11:27,253 --> 00:11:28,688
is I knew where I wanted to go.
276
00:11:29,322 --> 00:11:33,893
I have gone toe-to-toe with the
meanest, the baddest, and the
277
00:11:33,927 --> 00:11:38,598
toughest, and every single one
has been compromised.
278
00:11:38,599 --> 00:11:41,266
[Austin Theory] When Cena
speaks, it's just authentic.
279
00:11:41,267 --> 00:11:42,201
It's real.
280
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:45,271
This guy eats, sleeps, and
breathes WWE.
281
00:11:45,272 --> 00:11:47,673
[John] You sign that paper, you
go to war with me.
282
00:11:47,674 --> 00:11:50,009
You better be ready to make a
statement.
283
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:52,245
I have tremendous passion for
this.
284
00:11:52,246 --> 00:11:54,046
If I get passionate about
something,
285
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:55,547
you're going to have to stop me.
286
00:11:56,776 --> 00:12:01,520
[Michael] Paul Heyman has been
known as an advocate,
287
00:12:01,521 --> 00:12:03,756
a wise man, and one of the
greatest orators
288
00:12:03,790 --> 00:12:05,557
in WWE history.
289
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:10,830
[Paul] Ladies and gentlemen, my
name is Paul Heyman.
290
00:12:10,863 --> 00:12:14,234
[Michael] But in the 1990s,
Heyman was the mastermind behind
291
00:12:14,267 --> 00:12:16,035
Extreme Championship Wrestling.
292
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:20,673
[Paul] This is ECW.
293
00:12:20,707 --> 00:12:24,310
[Michael] In 2001, ECW closed
its doors for good.
294
00:12:24,344 --> 00:12:27,714
[Paul] Hey, network, I dare you
to throw me off the air.
295
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:29,482
[Michael] Or so we thought.
296
00:12:29,515 --> 00:12:33,987
Just four years later, ECW was
alive again for one night only,
297
00:12:34,020 --> 00:12:37,991
and with some anti-ECW crusaders
from Raw and SmackDown in
298
00:12:38,024 --> 00:12:41,094
attendance, Paul Heyman
addressed the ECW faithful
299
00:12:41,127 --> 00:12:42,962
with the whole world watching.
300
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:49,035
[crowd chants "Paulie"]
301
00:12:49,036 --> 00:12:51,003
[Paul] I was going
to take the high road
302
00:12:51,004 --> 00:12:53,873
and just say thank you and
leave,
303
00:12:53,973 --> 00:12:57,677
but I have something
to say to you.
304
00:12:59,312 --> 00:13:03,249
ECW could prove its superiority
against the multi-billion-dollar
305
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:06,285
publicly traded global
conglomerate
306
00:13:06,286 --> 00:13:11,224
with the ECW crowd living
vicariously through my promo.
307
00:13:11,324 --> 00:13:13,526
You are in our house, bitch.
308
00:13:13,527 --> 00:13:17,763
[Kevin] ECW represented the real
wrestling to a lot of people.
309
00:13:17,764 --> 00:13:21,668
When Paul did that promo, it was
echoing everything they felt,
310
00:13:21,701 --> 00:13:23,569
and Paul did a masterful job
with it.
311
00:13:23,603 --> 00:13:26,873
[Paul] I almost forgot about
you.
312
00:13:26,874 --> 00:13:29,074
[John Layfield] We were the bad
guys.
313
00:13:29,075 --> 00:13:31,844
These fans actually now get to
see the people
314
00:13:31,878 --> 00:13:33,813
that they hate in person.
315
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,284
[Paul] The only reason you were
WWE Champion for a year
316
00:13:40,687 --> 00:13:43,790
is because Triple H didn't
want to work Tuesdays.
317
00:13:44,370 --> 00:13:49,194
You ask anyone that was in the
audience that night,
318
00:13:49,195 --> 00:13:51,097
it was just magic
from the get-go.
319
00:13:52,031 --> 00:13:55,201
This is EC [bleep] W.
320
00:13:55,202 --> 00:13:59,771
[Michael] Perhaps nobody
electrifies with a microphone
321
00:13:59,772 --> 00:14:01,239
quite like The Rock.
322
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,875
[The Rock] Two plus two?
323
00:14:02,909 --> 00:14:04,510
Thomas Jefferson, sucka.
324
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:07,447
Bend over.
325
00:14:07,747 --> 00:14:10,277
Get your monkey [bleep] out of
The Rock's picture.
326
00:14:10,278 --> 00:14:12,317
[Michael] But in 2000, The Rock
was set to face
327
00:14:12,318 --> 00:14:13,719
five other superstars.
328
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,788
The Rock took the opportunity to
dress down each and every one
329
00:14:16,789 --> 00:14:20,126
of his opponents in a
way only The Rock can.
330
00:14:23,196 --> 00:14:28,434
[The Rock] Finally, The Rock has
come back to New Jersey.
331
00:14:29,102 --> 00:14:33,005
I was so focused
on moving the crowd.
332
00:14:33,006 --> 00:14:35,240
That's all I wanted to do every
single night.
333
00:14:35,241 --> 00:14:37,676
The Rock knows he's got five
other guys he's got to compete
334
00:14:37,677 --> 00:14:40,346
with, and even if The Rock has
got to beat Kurt Angle,
335
00:14:40,446 --> 00:14:43,916
which means I'm going to
drink a big glass of milk.
336
00:14:45,818 --> 00:14:47,928
Or maybe The Rock is going to
face Rikishi.
337
00:14:48,488 --> 00:14:50,523
I did it for The Rock.
338
00:14:51,424 --> 00:14:54,660
I did it- I d- Oh, shut your
mouth, you thong-wearing fatty.
339
00:14:54,761 --> 00:14:58,564
[Kevin] It was just so simple,
just so funny.
340
00:14:58,565 --> 00:15:00,999
[The Rock] Or maybe even The
Rock has got to beat
341
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,201
The Undertaker.
342
00:15:06,005 --> 00:15:09,842
Rest in peace.
343
00:15:09,843 --> 00:15:11,943
[Undertaker] Rock's imitating
everyone?
344
00:15:11,944 --> 00:15:13,879
Yeah, I thought it was funny
until he did me.
345
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,515
He had a rare gift, man.
346
00:15:16,516 --> 00:15:17,750
[crowd chants "Rocky"]
347
00:15:17,751 --> 00:15:20,051
[The Rock] Or maybe The Rock has
got to beat Triple H himself,
348
00:15:20,052 --> 00:15:24,490
which means, uh, he's got to
beat The Game, uh.
349
00:15:24,491 --> 00:15:27,325
[Triple H] Rock had impeccable
comedy timing
350
00:15:27,326 --> 00:15:28,894
that just made you
laugh out loud.
351
00:15:28,895 --> 00:15:30,629
[The Rock] "Stone Cold" Steve
Austin.
352
00:15:30,630 --> 00:15:33,365
I got to get in my pickup truck,
drink some Steve Wisers,
353
00:15:33,366 --> 00:15:37,202
listen to some Backstreet Boys,
and that's the bottom line,
354
00:15:37,203 --> 00:15:39,005
'cause the Great One said so.
355
00:15:39,006 --> 00:15:43,508
[Stone Cold] Just entertaining
so many people by talking trash.
356
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:49,215
[The Rock] If you smell what
The Rock is cooking.
357
00:15:50,997 --> 00:15:54,753
[Michael] The hardcore
legend, Mick Foley,
358
00:15:54,754 --> 00:15:57,123
has always been a
bit unpredictable.
359
00:15:57,924 --> 00:16:02,361
[Mankind] And the only hope is
Mankind's love for humanity,
360
00:16:02,395 --> 00:16:04,764
and I assure you, I have none.
361
00:16:05,431 --> 00:16:07,901
[Mick Foley] And what I am is
one bad son of a bitch.
362
00:16:08,835 --> 00:16:11,904
[Michael] And in 2004, Mrs.
Foley's baby boy found himself
363
00:16:12,004 --> 00:16:15,440
in the crosshairs of a young
up-and-coming legend killer
364
00:16:15,441 --> 00:16:17,043
named Randy Orton.
365
00:16:20,179 --> 00:16:23,883
[Mick] It's been said many
times that you never,
366
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:25,151
never forget your first.
367
00:16:26,419 --> 00:16:28,120
I'd been the guy on the
defensive
368
00:16:28,154 --> 00:16:30,056
week after week after week.
369
00:16:30,490 --> 00:16:34,827
I did inhumane things, but it
wasn't the moves,
370
00:16:34,927 --> 00:16:39,532
it wasn't the tacks that
caught my eye, it was my eyes.
371
00:16:39,565 --> 00:16:42,000
So, I thought, once in a while,
372
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:45,204
I should be able to put that
fear of Foley into him.
373
00:16:46,506 --> 00:16:50,243
Say hello to my friend, Barbie.
374
00:16:50,244 --> 00:16:52,644
[Kevin] Up until that point, he
hadn't seemed, like,
375
00:16:52,645 --> 00:16:54,413
a real threat.
376
00:16:54,414 --> 00:16:56,815
[Mick] Barbie is going to get
sunk into your skull,
377
00:16:56,816 --> 00:17:01,353
and I'm going to carve caverns
of gore into your virgin flesh.
378
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:04,556
[Kevin] Mick cutting that promo
was all about recapturing
379
00:17:04,557 --> 00:17:06,692
himself and making people
realize like,
380
00:17:06,726 --> 00:17:09,016
"Oh, [bleep], now Randy
Orton's in trouble."
381
00:17:09,228 --> 00:17:11,931
[Mick] Randy Orton, I'm going to
tear you apart.
382
00:17:11,964 --> 00:17:17,236
I'm going to take Barbie, and
I'm going to [bleep] you up.
383
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:20,439
I'm going to take Barbie, and-
384
00:17:20,473 --> 00:17:22,407
Now I'd found that
monster within me.
385
00:17:22,441 --> 00:17:28,214
I'm going to rip, I'm going to
tear, I am going to gorge.
386
00:17:28,247 --> 00:17:30,850
I'm going to possibly
disembowel.
387
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:34,887
And I'm going to-
love it.
388
00:17:36,763 --> 00:17:41,426
[Michael] It is now time
for our number one moment.
389
00:17:41,427 --> 00:17:44,397
Shawn Michaels captivated
audiences worldwide
390
00:17:44,430 --> 00:17:46,364
with the spoken word.
391
00:17:46,365 --> 00:17:49,302
[Shawn] I will give you a show
like you have never,
392
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:50,770
ever seen before.
393
00:17:50,803 --> 00:17:52,271
Why?
394
00:17:52,371 --> 00:17:53,506
Because I can.
395
00:17:53,606 --> 00:17:56,342
Whether it be out here or back
there,
396
00:17:56,442 --> 00:18:00,446
Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels
loathe one another.
397
00:18:01,113 --> 00:18:04,916
[Michael] At Survivor Series
1997, in Montreal, Canada,
398
00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:08,421
Shawn Michaels played a major
part in screwing Canadian legend
399
00:18:08,521 --> 00:18:11,757
Bret "The Hitman" Hart out
of the WWE Championship.
400
00:18:11,791 --> 00:18:12,959
[bell rings]
401
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,659
[Jim] You talk about
controversy,
402
00:18:14,660 --> 00:18:16,395
this crowd is
livid.
403
00:18:16,396 --> 00:18:19,197
[Michael] In 2005, The
Showstopper returned
404
00:18:19,198 --> 00:18:23,569
to Montreal and, for the first
time since Survivor Series 1997,
405
00:18:23,603 --> 00:18:26,672
stood in front of a
hostile Canadian crowd.
406
00:18:31,243 --> 00:18:34,213
[Shawn] Who's your daddy,
Montreal?
407
00:18:34,246 --> 00:18:35,948
[crowd boos]
408
00:18:35,949 --> 00:18:38,049
[Shawn] I couldn't remember the
last time I was in Montreal,
409
00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:40,686
but it was clearly the
first time in a while,
410
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,155
and it was just
electric as hell.
411
00:18:48,728 --> 00:18:51,864
[humming]
412
00:18:51,897 --> 00:18:56,068
[Shawn] ?? Oh, Canada.
413
00:18:58,771 --> 00:19:03,709
How I hate this place ??
414
00:19:03,809 --> 00:19:04,877
[crowd boos]
415
00:19:04,878 --> 00:19:06,344
[Kevin] It would have been
foolish to pretend not
416
00:19:06,345 --> 00:19:08,947
everyone in that arena wanted to
kill him at this point.
417
00:19:08,948 --> 00:19:11,383
You could kind of let that get
to you and play with your head,
418
00:19:11,384 --> 00:19:14,085
or you could just lean into it
like he did and just use it
419
00:19:14,086 --> 00:19:15,286
for everything you have.
420
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:21,961
[Shawn] You're not going to get
Bret because I screwed Bret.
421
00:19:21,994 --> 00:19:23,562
[crowd boos]
422
00:19:23,563 --> 00:19:25,363
[Shawn Michaels] Because Bret
"The Hitman-"
423
00:19:25,364 --> 00:19:28,466
[Bret Hart's music]
424
00:19:28,467 --> 00:19:30,035
[Kevin] And then, eventually,
Bret's music hit,
425
00:19:30,036 --> 00:19:32,004
which made people go insane.
426
00:19:32,038 --> 00:19:35,241
??
427
00:19:35,274 --> 00:19:36,709
[Jim] What's going on here?
428
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:39,278
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
429
00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:43,181
[Shawn Michaels] Got your hopes
up just a little bit, didn't I?
430
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:44,884
[crowd boos]
431
00:19:44,885 --> 00:19:46,918
[Ethan Page] To be able to take
people on this journey
432
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:49,587
that they feel like they're on,
and then take a hard turn,
433
00:19:49,588 --> 00:19:52,478
that's professional wrestling in
a nutshell, honestly.
434
00:19:52,558 --> 00:19:56,394
[Shawn] You Canucks are not the
sharpest knives in the drawer.
435
00:19:56,395 --> 00:19:56,995
[crowd boos]
436
00:19:56,996 --> 00:19:57,762
[Shawn] This is money.
437
00:19:57,763 --> 00:19:59,732
I just started going off.
438
00:19:59,733 --> 00:20:00,965
[crowd chants "We want Bret"]
439
00:20:00,966 --> 00:20:05,805
[Shawn] You're one move from
your star being snuffed out.
440
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,841
You don't believe me?
441
00:20:10,076 --> 00:20:13,412
Just ask Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
442
00:20:13,446 --> 00:20:17,049
[crowd boos]
443
00:20:17,050 --> 00:20:18,349
[WWE Greatest Moments' music]
444
00:20:18,350 --> 00:20:20,685
[Michael] It's clear that when a
WWE superstar is holding
445
00:20:20,686 --> 00:20:22,421
a microphone in their hands,
446
00:20:22,455 --> 00:20:25,156
there is no telling what
will come of it.
447
00:20:25,157 --> 00:20:28,327
That'll do it for this edition
of WWE's Greatest Moments.
448
00:20:28,328 --> 00:20:31,362
I hope you've enjoyed this look
back at some of the biggest mic
449
00:20:31,363 --> 00:20:33,766
drop moments of the 2000s.
