1
00:00:01,034 --> 00:00:02,169
What a way to make
your debut.
2
00:00:03,403 --> 00:00:04,538
The 2000s.
3
00:00:04,638 --> 00:00:07,641
A new millennium that ushered in
some new faces to WWE.
4
00:00:08,475 --> 00:00:09,476
Oh, my God, Cole.
5
00:00:09,476 --> 00:00:11,144
Look how big this man is.
6
00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:12,546
He's huge.
7
00:00:12,546 --> 00:00:14,581
Faces that would
go on to become icons
8
00:00:14,581 --> 00:00:16,016
of Sports Entertainment.
9
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:18,018
I'm John Cena.
10
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:19,653
Today, we look
back at some of the most
11
00:00:19,653 --> 00:00:21,922
spectacular debuts of the 2000s.
12
00:00:21,922 --> 00:00:24,191
Holler if you
hear me.
13
00:00:24,191 --> 00:00:27,894
This is WWE's
Greatest Moments.
14
00:00:27,894 --> 00:00:31,465
If you smell--
15
00:00:31,565 --> 00:00:32,599
Oh, my God.
16
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:34,668
What the hell are you doing?
17
00:00:35,202 --> 00:00:36,369
Absolutely
unbelievable.
18
00:00:37,404 --> 00:00:38,872
Hulkamania is
here.
19
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:47,113
{\an8}Welcome,
everyone,
20
00:00:47,113 --> 00:00:48,181
{\an8}to WWE's Greatest Moments.
21
00:00:48,181 --> 00:00:49,416
{\an8}I'm Michael Cole.
22
00:00:49,416 --> 00:00:50,684
{\an8}And in this edition, we're
taking a look back at the most
23
00:00:50,684 --> 00:00:53,987
{\an8}impactful debuts of the 2000s.
24
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:55,856
Well, this is Randy
Orton's debut.
25
00:00:55,856 --> 00:00:57,758
I'm gonna wish the kid luck.
26
00:00:58,658 --> 00:00:59,392
Hook of the leg.
27
00:00:59,392 --> 00:01:00,193
Cradle.
28
00:01:00,193 --> 00:01:00,827
There's two.
29
00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:01,528
Oh.
30
00:01:01,528 --> 00:01:02,329
He's got him.
31
00:01:02,329 --> 00:01:03,029
What an upset.
32
00:01:04,030 --> 00:01:04,698
The new
millennium gave way
33
00:01:04,698 --> 00:01:05,799
to a new era in WWE.
34
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:10,036
And it all started with one we
never saw coming.
35
00:01:10,036 --> 00:01:12,472
On a June 2002 episode of
SmackDown,
36
00:01:12,472 --> 00:01:14,708
Olympic gold medalist
and former world champion,
37
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:16,843
Kurt Angle, issued an open
challenge
38
00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:18,512
to the locker room.
39
00:01:18,512 --> 00:01:20,714
Sitting ringside on that fateful
night,
40
00:01:20,714 --> 00:01:23,517
I never would have imagined the
impact this superstar
41
00:01:23,517 --> 00:01:25,752
would have on our industry.
42
00:01:28,522 --> 00:01:31,124
{\an8}I am issuing a
challenge to anyone in that
43
00:01:31,124 --> 00:01:36,663
{\an8}locker room that I've never
wrestled before.
44
00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:38,632
{\an8}We were in Chicago,
Michael Hayes told me that, uh,
45
00:01:38,632 --> 00:01:40,400
{\an8}I would be wrestling Kurt Angle.
46
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,003
A lot of times the key to
success is being brave enough
47
00:01:43,003 --> 00:01:44,271
to take the first step.
48
00:01:45,071 --> 00:01:47,474
Who in the hell are
you?
49
00:01:47,908 --> 00:01:49,843
I'm John Cena.
50
00:01:49,843 --> 00:01:53,513
What is the one
quality that you possess?
51
00:01:53,513 --> 00:01:56,149
Ruthless aggression.
52
00:01:57,818 --> 00:01:59,352
Ruthless aggression promo.
53
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:01,922
I was
given an opportunity.
54
00:02:03,256 --> 00:02:09,029
{\an8}I really tried
really hard to make it
55
00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:12,132
{\an8}as difficult as I could for John
Cena.
56
00:02:14,234 --> 00:02:16,703
It was high action, it was
non-stop,
57
00:02:16,703 --> 00:02:19,606
and John rose to the occasion.
58
00:02:20,307 --> 00:02:22,943
Ruthless aggression,
tenacity by John Cena.
59
00:02:22,943 --> 00:02:24,077
Does he have it?
60
00:02:24,077 --> 00:02:25,345
No, Angle kicked out.
61
00:02:25,345 --> 00:02:26,746
I-I had a great
performance
62
00:02:26,746 --> 00:02:28,582
with Kurt because Kurt's great.
63
00:02:28,682 --> 00:02:30,250
He can make anybody look good.
64
00:02:30,784 --> 00:02:31,718
Double chicken wing.
65
00:02:31,718 --> 00:02:32,486
Look at this.
66
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:33,386
Kurt floating over.
67
00:02:33,386 --> 00:02:34,354
Shoulders are
pinned.
68
00:02:34,354 --> 00:02:35,155
And Kurt Angle-
69
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:37,324
has
pinned John Cena.
70
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:40,460
Cena gave Angle all he could
handle and then some.
71
00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:42,596
{\an8}John's debut with
Kurt Angle
72
00:02:42,596 --> 00:02:44,831
{\an8}is an unforgettable moment.
73
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:49,369
He got the rub from a Kurt
Angle,
74
00:02:49,369 --> 00:02:51,204
welcoming him into the fold.
75
00:02:52,472 --> 00:02:54,207
We haven't heard
the last of John Cena.
76
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:57,978
In 2006,
audiences were introduced
77
00:02:57,978 --> 00:03:02,315
to a straight-edge kid from
Chicago named CM Punk.
78
00:03:02,749 --> 00:03:04,918
You just got punked.
79
00:03:04,918 --> 00:03:07,754
Holding an
impressive background in various
80
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:10,524
combat sports, and displaying a
multitude of charisma,
81
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:12,325
{\an8}the excitement
of Punk's debut
82
00:03:12,325 --> 00:03:13,360
{\an8}was off the charts.
83
00:03:14,694 --> 00:03:18,632
And when WWE relaunched ECW as
its third brand, we would find
84
00:03:18,632 --> 00:03:22,569
out just exactly what this
newcomer could do.
85
00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:27,441
{\an8}Don't let these
tattoos fool you.
86
00:03:28,241 --> 00:03:29,442
{\an8}I'm straight-edge.
87
00:03:30,477 --> 00:03:32,179
I'm a man of great discipline.
88
00:03:32,679 --> 00:03:36,750
{\an8}ECW got rebooted, and I think on
the first show, my first, uh,
89
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:37,951
my first vignette ran.
90
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:39,186
I don't drink.
91
00:03:39,186 --> 00:03:40,787
I don't smoke.
92
00:03:40,787 --> 00:03:42,989
I don't do drugs.
93
00:03:42,989 --> 00:03:45,992
My addiction is wrestling.
94
00:03:46,993 --> 00:03:49,396
{\an8}To me, the next
generation of ECW superstars
95
00:03:49,396 --> 00:03:51,598
{\an8}started with CM Punk.
96
00:03:53,467 --> 00:03:54,668
I got a lot of excitement
97
00:03:54,668 --> 00:03:56,670
about this guy's debut that's
coming out right now.
98
00:03:58,104 --> 00:04:00,340
I'm interested to see how this
crowd reacts and see if he's
99
00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:04,077
getting a pretty strong response
from the ECW fan base.
100
00:04:05,078 --> 00:04:07,514
My goal was to show
everybody
101
00:04:07,514 --> 00:04:09,516
that I was the real deal.
102
00:04:10,117 --> 00:04:11,118
Oh.
103
00:04:12,385 --> 00:04:14,621
Oh, God.
104
00:04:15,155 --> 00:04:15,922
Oh, flying knee.
105
00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:16,723
That's it.
106
00:04:16,723 --> 00:04:17,991
Oh.
107
00:04:17,991 --> 00:04:19,426
And they let the
world know, you're witnessing
108
00:04:19,426 --> 00:04:23,864
the debut of a brand-new star.
109
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:25,732
Uranage right there.
110
00:04:25,732 --> 00:04:26,900
Oh, look at this.
111
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:27,834
Submission.
112
00:04:27,834 --> 00:04:28,802
He's got that armbar.
113
00:04:28,802 --> 00:04:29,636
Justin Credible
taps out.
114
00:04:29,636 --> 00:04:30,470
Tapped out.
115
00:04:30,470 --> 00:04:31,872
He tapped out.
116
00:04:31,872 --> 00:04:33,673
My hard work would
outshine everything,
117
00:04:33,673 --> 00:04:35,675
and eventually,
perseverance pays off.
118
00:04:35,675 --> 00:04:36,676
I was off to the races.
119
00:04:37,911 --> 00:04:39,913
That's a hell of a debut
if I can say so myself.
120
00:04:43,416 --> 00:04:48,088
This Umaga is a
dangerous carnivore.
121
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:50,724
There might not
have been another superstar
122
00:04:50,724 --> 00:04:52,526
in the history of WWE as
intimidating
123
00:04:52,526 --> 00:04:54,194
as the relentless Umaga.
124
00:04:54,895 --> 00:04:56,196
Oh.
125
00:04:56,196 --> 00:04:58,565
Beating down
superstars like Bobby Lashley.
126
00:04:58,565 --> 00:05:00,600
And Bobby Lashley.
127
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,669
Oh, man.
128
00:05:02,669 --> 00:05:04,704
On a 2007 episode
of Raw, airing live from Milan,
129
00:05:04,704 --> 00:05:06,606
Italy, the boss, Mr. McMahon,
issued
130
00:05:06,606 --> 00:05:08,642
an open challenge to face--
131
00:05:08,642 --> 00:05:11,912
Umaga.
132
00:05:11,912 --> 00:05:13,747
In a
no-holds-barred Intercontinental
133
00:05:13,747 --> 00:05:15,382
Championship match.
134
00:05:15,882 --> 00:05:16,983
I can't imagine
anybody being too eager
135
00:05:16,983 --> 00:05:19,319
to accept that challenge.
136
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:20,620
No superstar from
the Raw locker room
137
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:22,189
dared to take on Umaga.
138
00:05:24,391 --> 00:05:26,893
So, McMahon did the
unprecedented and opened it up
139
00:05:26,893 --> 00:05:28,728
to the sold-out crowd.
140
00:05:32,499 --> 00:05:33,633
{\an8}Who wants to get
into the ring with Umaga?
141
00:05:33,633 --> 00:05:34,868
{\an8}Who does?
142
00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:36,136
{\an8}Don't look
down here.
143
00:05:36,136 --> 00:05:37,537
{\an8}When he put
the open challenge out
144
00:05:37,537 --> 00:05:39,806
{\an8}to the audience, I rushed
to the barricades.
145
00:05:39,806 --> 00:05:41,708
I was in front row, so then he
saw me.
146
00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:44,277
How about you?
147
00:05:44,711 --> 00:05:45,712
The guy beside
me goes,
148
00:05:45,712 --> 00:05:46,480
"No, no, he's gonna kill you."
149
00:05:47,714 --> 00:05:48,949
He's not
really gonna do this, is he?
150
00:05:48,949 --> 00:05:50,650
I heard about
the character that day,
151
00:05:50,650 --> 00:05:52,018
playing an Italian guy.
152
00:05:52,385 --> 00:05:53,687
Your name again is
what?
153
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:55,789
Santino
Marella.
154
00:05:55,789 --> 00:05:58,558
I started wrestling kind of
late, so I have to capitalize.
155
00:05:58,558 --> 00:06:00,527
It was pretty intense.
156
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,264
Santino,
think this over.
157
00:06:04,898 --> 00:06:05,766
I remember
saying,
158
00:06:05,766 --> 00:06:06,566
"This is what you trained for.
159
00:06:06,566 --> 00:06:07,667
This is what you prepared for."
160
00:06:07,667 --> 00:06:08,602
Oh.
161
00:06:08,602 --> 00:06:09,402
Oh, hello.
162
00:06:12,472 --> 00:06:13,640
{\an8}Oh.
163
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,841
Mr. McMahon is loving
this destruction.
164
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:16,176
Look at this.
165
00:06:16,176 --> 00:06:17,310
Bobby Lashley.
166
00:06:17,878 --> 00:06:19,246
{\an8}I remember
running down to the ring.
167
00:06:19,246 --> 00:06:20,914
Crowd was going crazy.
168
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:25,385
Lashley with a
powerful spear.
169
00:06:26,086 --> 00:06:29,122
And Lashley putting Santino on
top.
170
00:06:30,524 --> 00:06:32,058
Yes, ses, yes.
171
00:06:32,459 --> 00:06:34,461
To this day,
people that meet me will be
172
00:06:34,461 --> 00:06:36,263
like, "Wow, what a debut."
173
00:06:36,263 --> 00:06:38,632
And it was the first time it's
ever been done in history that
174
00:06:38,632 --> 00:06:40,700
someone came out of the audience
and won a title.
175
00:06:41,201 --> 00:06:43,837
Santino Marella is
the Intercontinental Champion.
176
00:06:46,039 --> 00:06:48,442
{\an8}extremely volatile time
n
177
00:06:48,442 --> 00:06:50,243
{\an8}in Sports Entertainment.
178
00:06:50,243 --> 00:06:55,015
{\an8}WWE acquired rival WCW, merging
two of the biggest professional
179
00:06:55,015 --> 00:06:57,250
wrestling promotions on the
planet.
180
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:01,888
Fans were anxiously awaiting the
arrival of the five-time,
181
00:07:01,888 --> 00:07:05,559
five-time, five-time, five-time.
182
00:07:05,559 --> 00:07:08,962
Five-time WCW
Champion.
183
00:07:08,962 --> 00:07:10,430
Booker T.
184
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:13,066
And at the 2001 King of the
Ring, Booker didn't disappoint
185
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:16,470
as he set his sights on current
WWE Champion,
186
00:07:16,470 --> 00:07:19,106
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
187
00:07:23,076 --> 00:07:25,245
{\an8}We are at our main
event to determine
188
00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:27,447
{\an8}the richest prize in the game.
189
00:07:28,048 --> 00:07:31,284
{\an8}Because a lot of
the top WCW stars didn't go over
190
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:36,423
{\an8}to WWE, when top stars did come
over, it was a huge deal.
191
00:07:37,591 --> 00:07:38,525
Wait a minute.
192
00:07:38,525 --> 00:07:40,160
What the hell?
193
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:41,795
Oh, my God.
194
00:07:41,795 --> 00:07:43,130
I can't believe it.
195
00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:44,431
That's Booker T.
196
00:07:44,431 --> 00:07:46,500
He's the WCW Champion.
197
00:07:48,935 --> 00:07:51,805
{\an8}I'm starting out with
the biggest fish in WWE.
198
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:53,440
{\an8}I mean, "Stone Cold" Steve
Austin.
199
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,608
{\an8}Doesn't get any bigger than
that.
200
00:07:54,608 --> 00:07:56,743
That's the mentality I brought
in.
201
00:07:57,244 --> 00:07:58,578
Oh, my God.
202
00:07:58,578 --> 00:08:00,280
The sidewalk slam.
203
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,316
Booker T just drove Stone Cold
right through
204
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:04,551
the announce table.
205
00:08:05,051 --> 00:08:07,721
Long live the WCW,
you son of a bitch.
206
00:08:07,721 --> 00:08:09,055
Now, we've been
fighting your ass
207
00:08:09,055 --> 00:08:10,357
{\an8}for a long time.
208
00:08:10,357 --> 00:08:12,092
{\an8}Now here you are in our living
room.
209
00:08:12,092 --> 00:08:13,326
I'll never forget that moment.
210
00:08:14,094 --> 00:08:15,662
What the hell?
211
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:17,931
Here comes the security.
212
00:08:17,931 --> 00:08:20,534
Booker T came through the crowd.
213
00:08:21,201 --> 00:08:22,402
He's leaving through the crowd.
214
00:08:22,969 --> 00:08:26,039
It was a moment that
I felt like was gonna catapult
215
00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:27,307
me to the next level.
216
00:08:28,008 --> 00:08:30,744
Booker T has
decimated the decimated
217
00:08:30,744 --> 00:08:31,812
the WWE Champion.
218
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:36,016
Beat me if you can.
219
00:08:36,683 --> 00:08:39,286
Survive if I let you.
220
00:08:40,253 --> 00:08:41,888
Throughout the
1990s, one of the biggest stars
221
00:08:41,888 --> 00:08:43,356
in Extreme Championship
Wrestling
222
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:44,891
was none other than Tazz.
223
00:08:45,725 --> 00:08:48,929
The Human Suplex Machine had
risen to prominence in ECW,
224
00:08:48,929 --> 00:08:51,765
using his powerful Tazmission
maneuver.
225
00:08:51,765 --> 00:08:55,836
Tazz, Tazz has won
the ECW Championship.
226
00:08:56,403 --> 00:08:57,604
Which earned him
two World Heavyweight
227
00:08:57,604 --> 00:09:00,807
Championships and two World
Television Championships.
228
00:09:01,575 --> 00:09:03,944
But Tazz was a big fish in a
small pond
229
00:09:03,944 --> 00:09:05,712
and needed more competition.
230
00:09:05,712 --> 00:09:09,082
Meanwhile, in WWE,
the 2000 Royal Rumble saw
231
00:09:09,082 --> 00:09:11,685
the self-proclaimed greatest
athlete on the planet,
232
00:09:11,685 --> 00:09:14,454
Kurt Angle, posting an
impressive undefeated streak
233
00:09:14,454 --> 00:09:17,891
and offered a chance for anyone
to try and defeat him.
234
00:09:20,961 --> 00:09:22,295
{\an8}Now,
concerning this
235
00:09:22,295 --> 00:09:24,731
{\an8}so-called
unnamed opponent.
236
00:09:25,699 --> 00:09:29,169
Now, I know you have to be
pretty nervous coming out here
237
00:09:29,169 --> 00:09:33,607
and facing an undefeated
American hero.
238
00:09:34,174 --> 00:09:37,010
So, come on out here and give it
your all.
239
00:09:45,552 --> 00:09:48,054
It's Tazz.
240
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:56,830
{\an8}My debut in the WWE at
Madison Square Garden,
241
00:09:56,830 --> 00:09:59,433
there was nothing like that pop.
242
00:09:59,433 --> 00:10:01,701
And Tazz not wasting
any time.
243
00:10:03,036 --> 00:10:05,071
{\an8}Tazz came right in
the door,
244
00:10:05,071 --> 00:10:07,374
{\an8}suplexed Kurt Angle
all over the ring.
245
00:10:07,374 --> 00:10:08,842
Opening up for the
offense on Angle.
246
00:10:08,842 --> 00:10:09,843
Oh.
247
00:10:09,843 --> 00:10:10,944
I've never seen suplexes like
this.
248
00:10:12,179 --> 00:10:13,814
{\an8}This was
probably one of the biggest
249
00:10:13,814 --> 00:10:18,452
{\an8}debut nights in any pro
wrestler's career.
250
00:10:18,452 --> 00:10:19,519
Ring the bell.
251
00:10:21,488 --> 00:10:22,856
And he's done it.
252
00:10:23,924 --> 00:10:25,559
Tazz has choked
out the Olympian.
253
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,361
My hometown at Madison
Square Garden,
254
00:10:28,361 --> 00:10:29,896
the greatest moment
of my career.
255
00:10:29,896 --> 00:10:32,566
An awesome moment.
256
00:10:32,566 --> 00:10:34,801
Oh, it was great.
257
00:10:35,235 --> 00:10:37,771
Man, what an impact
for Tazz.
258
00:10:37,771 --> 00:10:40,006
His first night in the WWE.
259
00:10:41,274 --> 00:10:43,110
{\an8}jumping out of the sky?
t
260
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:46,279
{\an8}He's the sensational high-flying
Rey Mysterio.
261
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:48,548
Mysterio had already established
himself as a household name
262
00:10:48,548 --> 00:10:52,119
across the globe as a lucha
libre legend.
263
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:53,186
Oh.
264
00:10:53,186 --> 00:10:55,222
Incredible Asai Moonsault.
265
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:58,625
The WWE Universe
was buzzing at the announcement
266
00:10:58,625 --> 00:11:00,460
{\an8}that Rey Mysterio was on his way
to WWE.
267
00:11:01,862 --> 00:11:04,231
And I'll never forget sitting
ringside for the Man
268
00:11:04,231 --> 00:11:07,834
of a Thousand Masks' highly
anticipated arrival.
269
00:11:10,203 --> 00:11:12,706
{\an8}Making his
SmackDown debut,
270
00:11:12,706 --> 00:11:14,608
{\an8}Rey Mysterio.
271
00:11:15,709 --> 00:11:17,277
For those of you
who have not been able
272
00:11:17,277 --> 00:11:20,347
to experience the sensational
high-flyer,
273
00:11:20,347 --> 00:11:21,915
you are in for a treat.
274
00:11:22,783 --> 00:11:25,585
{\an8}When I set foot
for the first time in WWE,
275
00:11:25,585 --> 00:11:26,820
{\an8}it was so cool.
276
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,589
Rey Mysterio set
to take on Chavo Guerrero
277
00:11:29,589 --> 00:11:31,391
in this cruiserweight matchup.
278
00:11:31,391 --> 00:11:32,659
There was no
doubt in my mind that we were
279
00:11:32,659 --> 00:11:34,428
gonna make magic that night.
280
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:37,964
Top rope
springboard hurricanrana.
281
00:11:37,964 --> 00:11:38,665
Oh.
282
00:11:38,665 --> 00:11:39,433
Cover.
283
00:11:39,433 --> 00:11:40,300
Three.
284
00:11:41,168 --> 00:11:42,068
{\an8}Mysterio got it.
285
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:43,470
{\an8}But that wasn't
the last of him
286
00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:44,671
{\an8}we'd see that night.
287
00:11:44,671 --> 00:11:47,240
The main event of that episode
was a steel cage match.
288
00:11:48,108 --> 00:11:49,943
It's now a
four-on-two assault.
289
00:11:50,744 --> 00:11:52,179
Better get some more help
out here.
290
00:11:52,979 --> 00:11:53,780
Who's this?
291
00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:54,681
Someone's coming out.
292
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:55,949
It's Rey
Mysterio.
293
00:11:56,383 --> 00:11:57,951
{\an8}I'll never forget that
reaction
294
00:11:57,951 --> 00:11:59,586
when he started climbing up.
295
00:11:59,986 --> 00:12:00,987
Mysterio up high.
296
00:12:00,987 --> 00:12:02,355
What the hell is Mysterio
doing?
297
00:12:02,355 --> 00:12:03,924
Look at Mysterio.
298
00:12:03,924 --> 00:12:04,791
Oh, my God.
299
00:12:04,891 --> 00:12:07,561
A crossbody from the top of the
cage.
300
00:12:08,095 --> 00:12:09,830
All of that just
made things
301
00:12:09,830 --> 00:12:10,797
so special that night.
302
00:12:10,797 --> 00:12:13,633
Like, they made me
look like a superstar.
303
00:12:14,134 --> 00:12:17,504
Mysterio showing he's in
the WWE for good.
304
00:12:19,906 --> 00:12:22,142
WWE legend Trish
Stratus has won over millions
305
00:12:22,142 --> 00:12:24,778
of fans throughout her
Hall of Fame career.
306
00:12:24,778 --> 00:12:27,080
One of the
greatest women's champions ever.
307
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,082
While she was
universally adored
308
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:31,384
by the audience, those
sentiments were not exactly
309
00:12:31,485 --> 00:12:33,286
shared by those inside the ring.
310
00:12:33,987 --> 00:12:34,921
What about that
move?
311
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:36,289
The Northern Lights
suplex.
312
00:12:36,289 --> 00:12:37,023
She got it.
313
00:12:37,023 --> 00:12:37,791
Yes.
314
00:12:38,892 --> 00:12:39,826
After
successfully defending her
315
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:40,994
women's title during an episode
of Raw,
316
00:12:41,228 --> 00:12:44,397
an aggravated Victoria attacked
Stratus after the match.
317
00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:48,502
But Trish was about to get some
aid from a mysterious source.
318
00:12:51,905 --> 00:12:53,240
{\an8}Trish
is down.
319
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,174
{\an8}Who the
hell's that?
320
00:12:54,174 --> 00:12:54,841
{\an8}Who
is that?
321
00:12:55,008 --> 00:12:56,510
{\an8}Somebody out
of the crowd?
322
00:12:56,510 --> 00:12:57,944
When we had this
new character come in,
323
00:12:57,944 --> 00:13:00,080
{\an8}there was a nice
luxury of surprise.
324
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,415
Who is this woman
beating up Victoria?
325
00:13:02,415 --> 00:13:03,917
I was really
nervous because I thought
326
00:13:03,917 --> 00:13:06,019
{\an8}about the reaction
from the people.
327
00:13:06,019 --> 00:13:07,988
{\an8}All these factors get into your
head and you're like,
328
00:13:07,988 --> 00:13:09,723
"Oh, my God, I hope it's okay."
329
00:13:09,723 --> 00:13:11,725
She knows how to
throw a right hand.
330
00:13:11,725 --> 00:13:13,326
It was so awesome
to hear
331
00:13:13,326 --> 00:13:14,761
and feel the people react.
332
00:13:14,761 --> 00:13:16,029
That was amazing.
333
00:13:16,029 --> 00:13:17,864
And whomever this
lady is, using that women's
334
00:13:17,864 --> 00:13:21,468
title belt to take Victoria off
the apron.
335
00:13:22,302 --> 00:13:25,071
And now with a smile on her face
handing it back to Trish.
336
00:13:25,772 --> 00:13:27,441
I was so
fortunate because
337
00:13:27,441 --> 00:13:29,342
I was immediately taken
seriously and put
338
00:13:29,342 --> 00:13:33,747
into the top tier of
female athletes.
339
00:13:34,414 --> 00:13:36,783
That woman can fight,
let me tell you, whoever she is.
340
00:13:37,184 --> 00:13:38,718
She made people
sit up and take attention.
341
00:13:38,718 --> 00:13:40,353
And it became water cooler talk.
342
00:13:40,353 --> 00:13:41,855
Hi, hi.
343
00:13:41,855 --> 00:13:43,390
Oh, my God, I'm Mickie James.
344
00:13:43,390 --> 00:13:44,324
Hey.
345
00:13:44,324 --> 00:13:45,158
I'm Raw's newest
diva.
346
00:13:45,158 --> 00:13:46,259
I'm like your biggest fan.
347
00:13:46,259 --> 00:13:48,295
I mean, I- I've written you like
a gazillion times.
348
00:13:48,295 --> 00:13:51,064
To be able to come in and be
elevated to that level
349
00:13:51,064 --> 00:13:54,468
immediately was huge for me.
350
00:13:54,468 --> 00:13:55,836
I couldn't have asked for a
better debut.
351
00:13:55,836 --> 00:13:58,205
It was an
amazing and memorable debut
352
00:13:58,205 --> 00:13:59,473
by Mickie James, for sure.
353
00:14:02,909 --> 00:14:04,878
In the late
1990s, WCW garnered
354
00:14:04,878 --> 00:14:06,980
unprecedented popularity.
355
00:14:06,980 --> 00:14:10,150
Heralded by the brash and
outspoken Eric Bischoff.
356
00:14:10,984 --> 00:14:14,354
I am the most
powerful man in this industry.
357
00:14:15,155 --> 00:14:16,423
{\an8}For 83
consecutive weeks,
358
00:14:16,423 --> 00:14:21,194
{\an8}Bischoff's WCW beat out WWE in
the Monday Night Ratings War.
359
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:24,197
Vinnie Mac, I'll
be waiting for you.
360
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:25,699
And I'm gonna knock you out.
361
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,035
{\an8}Bischoff's goal
was to run WWE out of business.
362
00:14:29,703 --> 00:14:32,205
{\an8}But WWE finally caught up and
eventually
363
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:34,808
bought out WCW in 2001.
364
00:14:35,976 --> 00:14:37,477
You've gotta
squeeze the life out
365
00:14:37,477 --> 00:14:39,312
of your competition.
366
00:14:39,312 --> 00:14:41,515
Just like I did to WCW.
367
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:45,152
Surely, this
meant the WWE Universe would
368
00:14:45,152 --> 00:14:47,988
never have to see Bischoff ever
again.
369
00:14:47,988 --> 00:14:49,356
Right?
370
00:14:53,627 --> 00:14:55,095
{\an8}Within
the next hour,
371
00:14:55,095 --> 00:15:00,100
{\an8}I will name the new General
Manager of Raw.
372
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:04,971
{\an8}No one ever imagined
who was going to show up.
373
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:09,276
Booker T.
374
00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:11,812
It's so good to see you again,
my friend.
375
00:15:13,513 --> 00:15:16,950
Never in a million
years thought I would see that.
376
00:15:16,950 --> 00:15:18,785
Allow me
to introduce you
377
00:15:18,785 --> 00:15:22,756
to the new general manager of
Raw, Eric Bischoff.
378
00:15:23,723 --> 00:15:24,558
Oh, God.
379
00:15:24,558 --> 00:15:25,358
Oh, my gosh.
380
00:15:25,358 --> 00:15:27,027
It's him.
381
00:15:27,027 --> 00:15:28,795
My first night
in WWE,
382
00:15:28,795 --> 00:15:32,165
{\an8}I remember walking out there and
the reaction was priceless.
383
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,301
I cannot believe
this.
384
00:15:34,301 --> 00:15:36,102
I'm absolutely in
shock.
385
00:15:36,102 --> 00:15:37,571
Nobody knew.
386
00:15:37,571 --> 00:15:39,106
The announcers didn't know.
387
00:15:39,106 --> 00:15:41,107
A lot of the talent didn't know.
388
00:15:41,708 --> 00:15:43,610
You see heated
rivals and suddenly
389
00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:45,779
they're aligned.
390
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,716
Eric Bischoff is our
new boss here on Raw.
391
00:15:50,584 --> 00:15:52,586
The crowd was in
shock.
392
00:15:52,586 --> 00:15:54,221
I enjoyed every second of it.
393
00:15:55,555 --> 00:16:00,627
I am here to put the E in WWE.
394
00:16:03,997 --> 00:16:05,999
{\an8}1990s, two of the biggest stars
e
395
00:16:05,999 --> 00:16:07,667
{\an8}in their respective promotions
396
00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:10,604
{\an8}were undoubtedly Goldberg
and The Rock.
397
00:16:10,604 --> 00:16:14,441
Goldberg dominated WCW, amassing
an incredible 173-win streak and
398
00:16:14,441 --> 00:16:18,945
a couple of world championships
to boot.
399
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,149
We have never
seen a man quite like this.
400
00:16:22,149 --> 00:16:25,285
On the WWE side,
The Rock electrified this
401
00:16:25,285 --> 00:16:28,255
industry like none before him
and claimed a couple
402
00:16:28,255 --> 00:16:30,157
of world titles himself.
403
00:16:30,857 --> 00:16:34,795
The Rock will forever
be the People's Champion.
404
00:16:34,895 --> 00:16:35,729
Throughout his
career,
405
00:16:35,729 --> 00:16:37,597
The Rock had
accomplished it all.
406
00:16:37,597 --> 00:16:40,867
He wrestled all over the world,
earned over a dozen titles
407
00:16:40,867 --> 00:16:43,203
and beat every opponent.
408
00:16:43,203 --> 00:16:45,639
Well, almost every opponent.
409
00:16:48,642 --> 00:16:50,577
{\an8}So now,
at 30 years old,
410
00:16:50,577 --> 00:16:52,712
{\an8}The Rock has done it all.
411
00:16:52,712 --> 00:16:56,149
{\an8}He now says, it's over.
412
00:16:56,683 --> 00:17:01,455
{\an8}The Rock was already
at a level that few could
413
00:17:01,455 --> 00:17:04,090
{\an8}ever attain at that point,
let alone how far he's come.
414
00:17:06,193 --> 00:17:07,561
The Rock will tell
you this right now--
415
00:17:08,695 --> 00:17:09,663
Oh, look.
416
00:17:09,663 --> 00:17:10,697
Oh, my God.
417
00:17:10,697 --> 00:17:12,833
It's-it's him.
418
00:17:12,933 --> 00:17:13,100
Goldberg is here.
419
00:17:14,534 --> 00:17:17,137
Making the debut on
Raw was surreal.
420
00:17:17,137 --> 00:17:18,538
It can only happen once.
421
00:17:19,106 --> 00:17:20,073
Oh, my God.
422
00:17:20,073 --> 00:17:21,641
He is here.
423
00:17:22,242 --> 00:17:23,810
And Goldberg is
coming to the ring.
424
00:17:24,845 --> 00:17:27,347
Huge pyro,
standing there in the smoke.
425
00:17:27,347 --> 00:17:30,417
He stops for a moment and blows
it out.
426
00:17:30,417 --> 00:17:33,487
Because he is, in real life, a
fire-breathing dragon.
427
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:38,225
Someone like that
being my first opponent.
428
00:17:38,225 --> 00:17:39,926
It was an honor and a privilege.
429
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,529
You wanna know who's
next, eh?
430
00:17:42,529 --> 00:17:45,098
Oh, no.
431
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:47,834
You're next.
432
00:17:48,268 --> 00:17:49,269
What?
433
00:17:49,269 --> 00:17:50,003
Oh, God.
434
00:17:50,103 --> 00:17:50,971
"Oh, is that so?"
435
00:17:50,971 --> 00:17:52,038
Look at that.
436
00:17:52,038 --> 00:17:54,674
And Goldberg taking
down The Rock.
437
00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:56,376
Goldberg just Speared The Rock.
438
00:17:57,611 --> 00:18:00,714
With two individuals
such as he and myself,
439
00:18:00,714 --> 00:18:02,682
that's all you need.
440
00:18:02,682 --> 00:18:04,017
People want to see it.
441
00:18:05,118 --> 00:18:07,988
Goldberg may have
broken The Rock in half.
442
00:18:09,556 --> 00:18:11,358
It is now time
for our number one moment,
443
00:18:11,358 --> 00:18:14,694
and it's one that truly
decimates the competition.
444
00:18:14,694 --> 00:18:17,731
Before Brock Lesnar became The
Beast Incarnate we know today,
445
00:18:17,731 --> 00:18:19,433
he was simply dubbed--
446
00:18:19,433 --> 00:18:22,202
The Next Big
Thing.
447
00:18:22,202 --> 00:18:25,071
The WWE Universe
had never seen a specimen
448
00:18:25,071 --> 00:18:26,973
quite like Lesnar.
449
00:18:26,973 --> 00:18:29,442
One could only fathom what kind
of havoc The Beast
450
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:31,511
could wreak inside
the squared circle.
451
00:18:32,045 --> 00:18:34,948
This massive human
being is scary.
452
00:18:34,948 --> 00:18:37,317
It was during a
hardcore title match between
453
00:18:37,317 --> 00:18:40,921
Al Snow, Maven, and Spike
Dudley, when Lesnar decided
454
00:18:40,921 --> 00:18:44,057
to strike for the very first
time inside a WWE ring.
455
00:18:48,161 --> 00:18:49,129
{\an8}Boy, there's
nothing finesse
456
00:18:49,129 --> 00:18:50,730
{\an8}about these hardcore
matchups.
457
00:18:50,730 --> 00:18:51,565
{\an8}Come on.
458
00:18:51,565 --> 00:18:52,599
{\an8}Come on.
459
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:53,366
Hey, wait a minute.
460
00:18:53,366 --> 00:18:54,067
Oh, no.
461
00:18:54,067 --> 00:18:54,568
What the hell?
462
00:18:54,568 --> 00:18:55,435
That- That's-
463
00:18:55,435 --> 00:18:56,837
That's the hottest
free agent.
464
00:18:57,771 --> 00:18:58,572
Oh.
465
00:18:58,572 --> 00:18:59,606
Brock Lesnar.
466
00:19:00,907 --> 00:19:01,408
I know who it is,
but what's he doing out here?
467
00:19:03,076 --> 00:19:04,811
{\an8}I knew that I had
that opportunity in front of me,
468
00:19:04,811 --> 00:19:07,481
{\an8}but if I didn't seize the
moment, then I would never be
469
00:19:07,481 --> 00:19:09,616
there again, and that's exactly
what I did.
470
00:19:10,350 --> 00:19:11,718
Look at this monster.
471
00:19:12,152 --> 00:19:13,420
This guy is scary
strong.
472
00:19:13,420 --> 00:19:15,355
Ooh.
473
00:19:15,355 --> 00:19:16,189
Oh, God.
474
00:19:16,189 --> 00:19:17,657
Look at the strength.
475
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:19,893
That is- That is a scary
strength,
476
00:19:19,893 --> 00:19:23,330
and little Spike is being
broken in half.
477
00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:25,432
I knew of him
because I had been looking
478
00:19:25,432 --> 00:19:26,967
into their minor league,
and I was like,
479
00:19:26,967 --> 00:19:27,834
"I've heard of this guy.
480
00:19:27,834 --> 00:19:28,969
I've heard big things about this
guy."
481
00:19:28,969 --> 00:19:30,537
{\an8}There was no thing in the world
that was gonna stop
482
00:19:30,537 --> 00:19:32,172
{\an8}him reaching the top.
483
00:19:33,073 --> 00:19:34,808
Look at who's at
ringside with Brock.
484
00:19:34,808 --> 00:19:35,842
Oh, my God.
485
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:36,943
Paul Heyman at ringside.
486
00:19:38,211 --> 00:19:39,679
What sets Brock
Lesnar apart from everybody
487
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:43,917
{\an8}else, everybody else is
everybody else,
488
00:19:43,917 --> 00:19:47,687
and Brock Lesnar
is Brock Lesnar.
489
00:19:48,388 --> 00:19:50,524
There's no one like him.
490
00:19:50,524 --> 00:19:52,292
Brock Lesnar is an
animal.
491
00:19:52,893 --> 00:19:54,161
I'm not a
superstar.
492
00:19:54,161 --> 00:19:56,663
I'm an ass kicker.
493
00:19:56,663 --> 00:19:58,298
I am Brock Lesnar.
494
00:19:59,132 --> 00:20:00,534
I think he is The
Next Big Thing.
495
00:20:03,003 --> 00:20:04,604
Brock Lesnar
immediately established
496
00:20:04,604 --> 00:20:07,908
himself as a dominant force
within WWE,
497
00:20:07,908 --> 00:20:10,710
and it seems like he's only
grown stronger with time.
498
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:14,548
The wild decade of the 2000s
pioneered a new era of ruthless
499
00:20:14,548 --> 00:20:19,252
{\an8}aggression that catapulted WWE
into the Sports Entertainment
500
00:20:19,252 --> 00:20:21,555
{\an8}giant that it is today.
501
00:20:22,889 --> 00:20:24,257
{\an8}Well,
that'll do it
502
00:20:24,257 --> 00:20:25,792
{\an8}for this edition of WWE's
Greatest Moments.
503
00:20:25,792 --> 00:20:27,527
{\an8}I hope you've enjoyed the look
back
504
00:20:27,527 --> 00:20:31,331
{\an8}at some of the most spectacular
debuts of the 2000s.
