00:02You
02:56Not allowing Randy Orton to reach his destiny at WrestleMania.
03:01Orton hoping that he'll reach his destiny here tonight at SummerSlam.
03:07It's not gonna be easy.
03:08And that's no secret.
03:28And from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 240 pounds,
03:35the Legend Killer, Randy Orton.
03:40Randy Orton says that WrestleMania's first one was supposed to be his night, but
03:45it may intervene.
03:47So tonight, he claims he needs to beat The Undertaker.
03:52And I agree with Orton 100%.
03:54This is a must-win situation for Randy.
03:57If he wants to solidify himself as the true Legend Killer, if he can take down,
04:03if he can take down the Deadman, I'll tell you what, he'd be a Legend Killer in my eyes.
04:07Randy Orton said this past Thursday night on SmackDown that his destiny is to beat The Undertaker.
04:13That tonight at SummerSlam, Orton will spit in the face of The Undertaker's legacy.
04:22The Deadman looks to be, I mean, he's focused, man.
04:25Look at those eyes.
04:27I've been in there with that guy.
04:29I know what it's like to be across the ring from him.
04:30It's terrifying.
04:32And who will ever forget last year at SummerSlam, Randy Orton defeating Chris Benoit
04:36to become the youngest World Heavy Rate Champion in history.
04:41Here we go.
04:41Here we go.
04:42Tonight, he faces The Undertaker.
04:45And Randy Orton gonna take a little bit of time before he locks up.
04:49Is that a good rule?
04:50Yeah, I personally don't see one problem with that.
04:53I agree with Orton on that.
04:54You know what?
04:55Let's see your pace.
04:57Don't let the veteran, The Undertaker, dictate the pace.
04:59Back in June, Randy Orton came to SmackDown from Raw in the draft lottery.
05:03And still stinging from his defeat at WrestleMania, Orton has made life miserable for
05:07The Undertaker.
05:08Twice costing The Undertaker opportunities to battle for the World Heavyweight Championship.
05:13And there's the power of The Undertaker.
05:15Of course, power.
05:17And there is a slap.
05:18Wow.
05:18And you know what?
05:19Randy Orton deserved that.
05:20Orton wanted to talk some smack and be disrespectful.
05:23He got chopped.
05:24So it's a slap across the licks.
05:25There's the speed.
05:26The speed of Randy Orton.
05:28Orton needs to utilize that speed to stay away from The Undertaker here in this matchup.
05:33Yeah, but I'll tell you what, Undertaker makes up ground in that ring.
05:36He can be quick when he needs to be awesome.
05:39Ooh, missed one of the shots, side headlock down by Orton.
05:42And Orton been utilizing the side headlock a lot as of late.
05:45And Orton trying to wear The Undertaker down, center of the ring.
05:48I'll tell you what, side headlock's a simple hold, but yet it can be excruciating painful.
05:52I mean, it's a very painful hold.
05:54Uh-oh.
05:54There's the power again of The Undertaker.
05:56Backs Orton, release the hold, bless the ring.
05:58Big shoulder knocked down by the 300th counter.
06:01Look at this.
06:02And a two count before Orton kicks out.
06:04I mean, Orton giving up size to The Undertaker, as does everyone who faces The Dead Man.
06:08Now Dead Man with his own side headlock.
06:10And not only do you give up size to The Undertaker, but The Undertaker very intimidating.
06:14He loves to play them on games.
06:15However, Thursday night on SmackDown, we saw that smile out of Orton after he suffered the choke slam.
06:20Perhaps Orton believing he's getting into the head of The Dead Man.
06:23We're gonna find out.
06:24Big shoulder knocked down again by The Undertaker.
06:27Up over the top of Orton.
06:28Orton went for the hip.
06:29Yeah!
06:31Nice hip toss, close line.
06:34And then Orton begins to-
06:35Oh!
06:36Into the boot.
06:37Again, the air against the bed as Orton walked right into that straight boot by The Undertaker.
06:41I think Orton wanted to go for a third move, and it's not often that many get peeled two moves
06:46off in a row against The Undertaker.
06:48Undertaker realizing Orton's in trouble.
06:50Here's the cover.
06:50The second part of the matchup this time, rather gingerly.
06:53Orton, and now look at Undertaker as he hooks the arm now with Randy Orton.
06:56He got that key lock on that arm as he had a cover.
07:01Orton's gotta keep that shoulder up there.
07:03Get pinned that way.
07:05And we've seen over time, The Undertaker can utilize submission.
07:09He knows submission.
07:10And he actually hear Randy Orton as he's writhing in pain at the hands of the phenom.
07:17They make a great point.
07:18Undertaker's not all about power.
07:19Very skilled, as you mentioned, in the submission hold.
07:22And now working on that shoulder of Randy Orton.
07:26Oh, my God!
07:27He follows up his submission, sometimes with great striking.
07:31He pulls the hands very well.
07:32You know, got that mixed martial arts style.
07:34Now remember, Randy Orton, three nights ago, face it.
07:38I'll get to my point in a second.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Undertaker looks like he's going old school.
07:41Randy Orton realizes it.
07:42He's trying to stop it.
07:43Orton's trying to hang on to that top rope.
07:44Well, he was, trying to stop old school.
07:46Undertaker going up for the top rope here.
07:57Here's the cover, and Undertaker kicks out.
07:59Now remember, Undertaker's been working on that shoulder.
08:02Remember, Taz, three nights ago on SmackDown, Chris Benoit wore that shoulder
08:06of Randy Orton out for an entire matchup.
08:09Orton has only had three days of recovery and apparently hasn't.
08:12Very good point, Cole, very good point.
08:14And that was a very physical match between Orton and Benoit.
08:17Right hand, another one.
08:19Look at this.
08:19Randy Orton teeing off on The Undertaker.
08:22The straight right hand.
08:24Careful, no one exchanged blows with this man.
08:26Uh-oh.
08:26My God.
08:27And this is what you're talking about.
08:29Boosh, boosh, boosh, boosh, boosh, boosh, boosh.
08:32There's no one that throws the rights and lefts like The Undertaker.
08:35Watch this.
08:36One for good measure.
08:37That might have knocked Orton out.
08:39That might have been a killing blow.
08:40Are you kidding me?
08:42Wow.
08:43Undertaker knows how to bring those hands.
08:48Walk across the ring.
08:49There's a boot to The Undertaker.
08:51Randy Orton.
08:52He's playing a little possum there.
08:53He walked into one at that time.
08:55Did you see the boot almost infrancing his soul on the jaw board?
08:59Here we go.
08:59Cover by Undertaker again.
09:01And another near fall for the dead man.
09:04And as Undertaker went for that cover, he initially grabbed that egg, that wrist.
09:08He's gonna arm bar that arm again.
09:10The Undertaker so methodical in the ring.
09:13Where is his opponent's body?
09:15He has phenomenal pacing.
09:17His timing, The Undertaker is phenomenal.
09:20That's so many years of big match experience.
09:22And that's something that Undertaker brings to the ring, man.
09:26Big match experience.
09:27Here's the counter.
09:28Misses with a clothesline.
09:30That is Vintage, that is Vintage Undertaker.
09:33Again, will roll Orton to his back.
09:35Here's the cover.
09:36Shoulders down.
09:37Orton spins the shoulder out.
09:39You talk about The Undertaker's experience, Taz, but hey,
09:42you can't discount the resume of Randy Orton and the legends that he has killed over the years.
09:47Hey, I agree completely.
09:49This guy Orton, and he's got a tremendous upside.
09:51Big right hand.
09:53Remember, his first match back since WrestleMania was that against the legend Kamala.
09:58He made it almost look easy.
10:00Oh, and another right hand by Undertaker, straight to the gut of Randy Orton.
10:05Yeah, nice body shot right there.
10:07Knocking the man down with a body shot.
10:09Now a straight boot to the face.
10:12All physical.
10:14Completely physical.
10:16I'll tell you what, the referee's terrified of the Undertaker.
10:17That's the intimidation.
10:19Oh, rightfully so.
10:19I mean, Undertaker intimidates anybody in this ring, including me.
10:24I'll tell you that right now, I mean it.
10:26Watch out.
10:27The Undertaker with 300 pounds, a knee to the gut, and Orton to his knees.
10:32And Randy Orton is being taken to school here.
10:36Randy Orton is getting worn down by The Undertaker.
10:40You know what?
10:40You wanna be rash, you wanna be cocky, you wanna be arrogant, you wanna come out here and
10:44run your mouth about The Undertaker.
10:46This is what's gonna happen to you.
10:47Picking his shots.
10:49The Undertaker just picked his shot right there.
10:51You pick on the biggest dog in the yard, you're gonna pay for it.
10:53You get bit, right?
10:55That's what they say?
10:55Of course.
10:58That counts.
11:00Don't go by Undertaker to the jaw of Randy Orton as he's getting the
11:05intimidating referee Brian Heppner.
11:08Don't get in the referee, don't get in the Undertaker's face there, ref.
11:14Now what, now what, now?
11:16Undertaker.
11:16And Randy Orton dug down the way, and Undertaker got caught up by the top rope.
11:20This could be the opening.
11:22They don't need a kick straight to the hamstring.
11:24Tell you what, that might have been the best move Randy Orton's done in the WWE ring all year.
11:29That was smart on his part to get his body out of the way of the oncoming Deadman.
11:34And you know what?
11:35You take The Undertaker off his feet, you take all that power away.
11:38And the size.
11:39Nice.
11:39There's a high elbow, caught Orton on the jaw.
11:42Undertaker knows he's hurt here.
11:44He's like a wounded animal, he's injured.
11:46Yeah, but it's been well documented what The Undertaker can do when he realizes he's hurt.
11:50Undertaker back into the ring, Randy Orton.
11:53My God.
11:53To The Undertaker.
11:54How quick was Orton?
11:56He might get it, he might get him in the face.
11:58There's a two count, an Undertaker at two and a half.
12:01Got his foot on the bottom rope, and he's gonna work on that left leg,
12:05the one that he took out moments ago.
12:07Wow, I'll tell you what, look at this, look at this.
12:10And this is the viciousness out of Randy Orton we have not seen in a while.
12:13Listen, like Orton or not, this guy had the wherewithal to follow up.
12:18He saw that leg across that bottom rope, and it was like a shock going into that blood and water.
12:23Boom, he went for it.
12:24That was smart.
12:24And Randy Orton still working on that injured, that injured left knee of The Undertaker.
12:30Undertaker man, serious problem here.
12:33As Randy Orton drags The Deadman toward that steel post in the corner.
12:37And this is not good.
12:39It's not good at all.
12:41Undertaker's in trouble, Cole, look at this.
12:43And you see there's a brace there, wrapped around the knee of The Undertaker.
12:47The Undertaker cutting down the tree trunk here, chopping down that redwood.
12:52The giant The Undertaker himself is down, he's got one limb, one leg here.
12:56And there's that arrogance, but again, as Orton starts to feel it and that cockiness grows,
13:00he becomes extremely hard to beat in the ring, cuz Undertaker can't stand up here.
13:03Now you can't, and that right there is big time for Orton's, Randy Orton's offense.
13:09Working on that knee, the hamstring again of The Undertaker.
13:13Randy Orton is brewing with confidence here.
13:16With that straight boot, boom, right again, back to the hamstring.
13:19The initial blow was to that hamstring when The Undertaker missed.
13:23Yeah, when he got caught up on the top rope.
13:25And Randy Orton, listen to The Undertaker, it is not.
13:28Many times you'll hear The Undertaker in pain.
13:33Desperately trying to reverse this.
13:34What's he doing here?
13:35He's trying to turn Orton, maybe hook a hole in submission,
13:38to get Orton to break that leg, that leg lock.
13:42And there's a high elbow right to the nose, the bit to the nose.
13:47Now Orton's got, what's he got in mind?
13:48Pushing the ref, no respect for him either.
13:50What a sneak!
13:52Throw to the sternum, I believe.
13:54The inside one this time, and Undertaker kicked at it too.
13:58I think Orton knew he wasn't gonna get a win there.
14:00He just forcing The Undertaker to kick out, exert more energy.
14:03But you know what I was talking about earlier?
14:05The way that Orton, when he starts to feel it and that confidence grows,
14:08it's really unstoppable.
14:09Undertaker with the right hand to the gutter, Randy Orton.
14:11Be careful for Deadman to put together some more punches here.
14:14Nice body shots.
14:15Beautiful move out.
14:18And a straight boot to the face again.
14:21Hooks the inside leg, and Undertaker rolls the shoulder at it too.
14:26The Deadman realizes he's got to get back to his feet.
14:29He needs to get to a vertical base, and he can't.
14:31He's hurt, Cole, so you know it's hard.
14:32Hard to stand up if he got one leg.
14:35No kind of damage done to that knee.
14:37Come on, back out of here, let's go.
14:38Let's go.
14:40Undertaker, we all know about the heart resilience of the Phenom.
14:43They're trying to battle back with Orton working on that leg.
14:48How hungry is Orton?
14:49To get this victory.
14:51Well, he called it a must win.
14:52He said his career will be determined on what happens on this night at SummerSlam.
14:58Undertaker with that high elbow to the jaw.
15:01Really struggling to stand, can't put any weight on that left leg.
15:05Look at this, can't even run.
15:06Look at that.
15:07Slam by Orton.
15:08What power?
15:09A surprising power.
15:10Look at this.
15:11Cover, hooks the leg.
15:12Kick out at two.
15:13Not often you see someone who will scoop power slam to the deadman.
15:17Now look at this.
15:19Shoulders down under.
15:20He's gotta roll the shoulder out.
15:22Looks like he's going for the beginnings of a figure four leg lock.
15:25Now look at that.
15:25Now leg lacing that leg a little bit.
15:27Will's gonna overhook it.
15:29Shoulders again.
15:30And Undertaker's leg really contorted in a...
15:33You can see his knee right there.
15:34I saw it away here.
15:34Look at the knee.
15:35The way that it did it when it's fank.
15:37That's the world we're looking for.
15:38Fank, fank.
15:39Enough to be a team to figure out that hurts, obviously.
15:42Especially when he wants to beat the hell out of him.
15:44A human being's leg is not supposed to be twisted that way.
15:47No.
15:49Undertaker, he reversed it.
15:50Undertaker reversed it.
15:51He's got Orton in trouble here.
15:53Driving the knee into the mat.
15:55Orton tried to stop it but that patella, the kneecap patella of Orton driven it to that mat.
16:02Kick down right to that.
16:03That's the Undertaker.
16:04Undertaker has targeted a body part.
16:06The knee of Randy Orton.
16:07On the level of playing field, Cole.
16:09That's what he's doing, man.
16:10I'm telling you.
16:10That's the veteran.
16:11Cuts underneath the clothesline Orton.
16:13And again, goes for the bad knee.
16:16Undertaker in trouble.
16:17Orton strolls for the cover.
16:19And again working on that leg.
16:21And listen to the Undertaker.
16:22What do we say?
16:23Growning at times in pain.
16:25Early he was.
16:26He's got that knee all twisted up again.
16:28Come on, watch that face.
16:31Orton's gotta just, you know, his game plan needs to be just what he's doing.
16:34Here he goes again.
16:35Watch, watch this.
16:36Look at this.
16:37Oh!
16:39He uses the bottom rope to keep his ankle in space and it puts all his weight on his knee.
16:44And Orton has a five count.
16:46What?
16:46He's utilizing it.
16:47And again to the knee.
16:50Let's go.
16:50That'll do some internal damage to the ligament of collagen in that knee here.
16:54Listen to this.
16:55If he connects here, listen to the Undertaker.
16:58And he does it!
16:59Undertaker gathered!
17:00He launched Orton out of the ring.
17:03Wow!
17:03That was pretty smart.
17:06Put his foot in the butt of Orton and kick him over the top rope.
17:09Push him over the top rope.
17:10Not many tricks the Undertaker hasn't seen or used over the years.
17:13As he brings Orton back to his feet and drives Orton.
17:17Skull first off the steel steps.
17:21But again, can the Undertaker follow up?
17:24Now look at this.
17:24We've seen this for years.
17:27He's got that head dripped across that apron.
17:30He's got that bad leg though, Cole.
17:32He can't even climb the steps.
17:35There's only three steps.
17:36Yeah, but his bad leg's the left one and he utilizes the right one here.
17:38Watch out!
17:39And there's the leg drop right across the floor.
17:43My God!
17:47Orton's gotta be hurting, gotta be.
17:49One, two, three, two.
17:52Undertaker rolls back into the ring, both of these men.
17:55Now usually you'd see Undertaker follow up big time with some heavy offense.
17:58Watch again.
17:59The bad leg is the left one.
18:01Can he get height on his leg?
18:02And he does.
18:02Yeah, he does.
18:03He usually gets more height when his leg's all screwed up.
18:06Undertaker.
18:07Now earlier, Orton stopped old school in an unusual object.
18:10Yeah, but this is difficult when you can't walk on your left leg.
18:13How the hell is he gonna do this?
18:14I don't know, I'm not too sure about this.
18:15Let's see if Undertaker can pull it off.
18:17Undertaker, he did pull it off.
18:19And then his knee buckled as he hit the mat.
18:21But he still delivered that shoulder blow to Randy Orton.
18:26Yes, Undertaker knew he had to do some kind of a big high impact move.
18:30Uh-oh, look at this now.
18:31Hook the head in the ice.
18:34Seen Dead Man do that for quite a while now.
18:36Driving his opponent face first.
18:38Oh, no.
18:39There's two.
18:40He's got him, Orton, at two and a half.
18:42Referee Brian Hebner in perfect position as Orton kicked out at two and a half.
18:48Undertaker needs to try to follow up Orton.
18:51Orton might be knocked out a little bit on his feet here.
18:53The pace of this match now, does it favor the Undertaker?
18:56Yeah, absolutely it favors the Undertaker.
18:58It's slowed down, gives Taker time to recruit with that knee.
19:02What?
19:03Orton walks into it.
19:05Undertaker's got him up on the shoulder.
19:07Rolled him up with that knee.
19:07Rocks the dice.
19:08Snake eyes.
19:09Look at the Dead Man.
19:11Andy Orton, what a counter, what a counter by Orton.
19:22See the look in the eyes of Randy Orton, literally stalking the Phenom here.
19:31You can hear the rumbling of the crowd, Taz.
19:34Orton is marking his territory.
19:36He's got that gun.
19:36Look at that.
19:38Undertaker countered.
19:40He went for it.
19:42Undertaker had that up on body strength to push him off.
19:44That may be the moment that Orton needed to connect.
19:47He might not get another chance.
19:48Uh-oh, uh-oh.
19:50Might be going for this tombstone, but can he-
19:52What the hell are you kidding me?
19:54He's going for the tombstone.
19:55He reversed the tombstone?
19:57He's going for the tombstone.
19:58No way.
19:59Undertaker reversed it.
20:01Look at the power.
20:02He reversed it again.
20:03He's got that.
20:05My God.
20:06What a neck breaker.
20:08Here's the cover.
20:09He's got it.
20:09Adam said here.
20:11The Undertaker rolled out his shoulder.
20:13Orton can't believe it.
20:14Orton's shocked.
20:17I thought he had him, Cole, I'm telling you.
20:18Wow.
20:20What a sequence there.
20:21What a match.
20:23Randy Orton called this a must win.
20:26He said he was spit in the face of the legacy of The Undertaker.
20:29And Orton's giving it all he has.
20:31Vicious and violence with those four-armed bulls across the chest.
20:38Now watch.
20:39Orton backed out to the apron.
20:41Undertaker's in trouble.
20:42Where's he going?
20:45He's got something on the ropes.
20:47He's gonna climb the ropes here.
20:48Undertaker's on Dream Street, Cole.
20:49Undertaker doesn't know where he is.
20:51Look at Orton, watch Orton.
20:53Watch Randy Orton here.
20:54Randy Orton!
20:55Flying cross body.
20:57Undertaker rolled through.
20:58What the hell?
20:59Wait a minute.
20:59And he's got it.
21:00He's got you.
21:01The handle on the floor.
21:03He's got him bruised.
21:04What goes up?
21:05Shock slam.
21:06Shock slam.
21:07Shock slam.
21:08The end is near Cole.
