You know, Steamboat I also wanna say 'thank you'. I wanna say 'thank you' to the Academy of Arts and Motion Picture Sciences, because last night's Academy Awards proved me right.
00:35
Despite all of his shamelesspandering and his kissing of all the butts in Hollywood, Mickey Rourke lost the Oscar.
00:45
And now, he is just like the character he played in 'The Wrestler': he's a loser, a washed-up has-been who is hanging on for one last shot at glory, one last go in the spotlight, deluding himself and thinking he has one chance to make it again.
01:03
He doesn't. And he reminds me a lot of the losers in this business: Ric Flair, Roddy Piper and even you, Steamboat - cause you're a loser.
01:26
I am a man of truth, Steamboat, I tell it like it is and I'm gonna tell you the same thing. When you were wrestling all those classic matches with Ric Flair in the NWA - an organization that according to this company never even existed - you were just Ricky Steamboat.
01:44
It wasn't until you came to the WWE and sold your soul to all of these parasites that you became The Dragon -
01:54
a glorified Karate Kid selling headbands and making poses, feeding into stereotypes.
02:10
And then you eventually came to the ring with a Komodo Dragon literally spitting fire like the circus freak you've become. It was pathetic, but hey: It's all right as long as you're making a paycheck - right, Steamboat? Huh?
02:23
And then when you decided to retire, you ended up just like all the rest: Down and out on your luck, broken, beat-down, dysfunctional family.
02:32
And you know you would have returend to the ring just like Flair and just like Piper. You know you would have done it. But instead, you took a back door route.
02:41
You applied for a job in the WWE, you got one working backstage and now here you are. See, Steamboat, you are a lifelong sellout.
02:51
And now with the Hall of Fame induction the loyal dog gets his bone - just like Flair, just like Piper.
03:00
Except instead of wearing a three-piece suit like those guys or wearing a sequent robe or, or a kilt you have nice suit on - it doesn't make you any less pathetic. So enjoy your moment with all of these hypocrites that are your fans, Steamboat.
03:16
Enjoy it. You're the biggest hypocrite of them all.
03:32
Jericho!
03:39
Do you know what a hypocrite is? You understand that word, that meaning?
03:45
You know, I remember about 20 years ago at an autograph session I remember signing an autograph - for you.
03:59
I also remember how you said that you would have admired me - and that I was your hero.
04:12
You wrote that in your autobiography, Jericho.
04:19
And then about ten years ago, when you came to the WWE, you were the snotty, brat wrestler of a kid that turned down the wrestling fans.
04:34
And then within... within a year, less than a year, you embraced them.
04:42
What did you call them? Jerichoholics?
04:48
Then you spent the next several years turning on them, embracing them, turning on them, embracing them - back and forth so on and so off.
04:59
You know something, Jericho? THAT's a hypocrite.
05:11
Myself, from the very first time I put on my wrestling tights to the day that I retired I didn't change - not once.
05:29
I gave that audience the respect and entertained them every time I came through that curtain.
05:41
I never changed, not once. Now myself, Ric Flair, Roddy Piper and the other legends - we know who we are.
06:00
And me coming back working for the WWE behind the scenes to help our young talent, our future superstars to teach them, to coach them, to pass the torch so-to-speak, that's not a sellout.
06:19
I did it because I love this business.
06:29
I don't care what you think of me, it really doesn't matter.
06:36
I'm not a hypocrite, I'm not a sellout, but I am someone you may never be: a Hall of Famer.
Joining me now is the World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and Punk im sure you've heard by now there are many out there that simply believe that you cannot beat Batista this Sunday at the Great American Bash, and retain your World heavyweight Championship. What do you say to them?
00:7
Let's talk about what Batista did tonight.
00:21
Now he ran down and he stopped Kane from hurting me because Batista thinks he can beat me.
00:25
He thinks at the Great American Bash he's just gonna roll on through and become World Heavyweight champion.
00:30
You know, Todd, my entire life people have said I can't and I won't. I was never supposed to make it here in the WWE.
00:36
I was never supposed to be a champion. Well, I won titles on ECW.
00:41
I was never supposed to make it to the flagship show, RAW, and I made it.
00:45
And then I was never supposed to be the top guy, the World Heavyweight champion and yet my name is engraved on the richest prize sports entertainment has to offer.
00:55
Now everybody said I would never do it.
00:59
You know what? I'm not the biggest guy. I'm not the strongest. I'm not the fastest. And a lot of times I'm not the smartest.
01:05
But with all due respect, Batista, you don't have to be 6-foot-6, and 300 pounds, and chiseled to win titles.
01:15
I've already proven that. Yet somehow, I'm a fluke? No.
01:20
See, at the Great American Bash, if I don't beat you I've proven everybody right.
01:26
And I'm in the business of proving everybody wrong. I've done it my entire life. I've done it my entire career. And this time next week, I plan on being World Heavyweight champion.
01:35
And no, I'm not you, I'm not Batista, I'm not the Animal! I'm not John Cena! I'm not the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels! I'm not Bret Hart! I'm CM Punk, World Heavyweight Champion!
You know, this new generation of guys around here - Unconscious Creed, AJ, Samoa Joe -
00:18
they're either the most arrogant or they're probably some of the stupidest son of a *** I have ever met.
00:34
I mean: If Joe couldn't see what was coming at Bound For Glory, I guess he didn't remember running his mouth about Scott Hall ten months ago.
00:52
You know, the thing is: If it's the only thing that is stupider than those two sons of a *** it's the people sitting in this place right here.
01:08
They're sittin' back here right now still cheering for me.
01:19
It's gotta be hard, ya know? I've always wondered... I bet that you wondered what it's like to be Kevin Nash.
01:28
You know when I was a little boy, I was told a little story about David and Goliath.
01:35
And Goliath was this monster and David decided that he could beat him, he was this little tiny dude.
01:43
Jack and the Beanstalk: Once again, the giant's this big dumb ogre, Jack outsmarts him. You see, the reason why all you *** have always had disdain for me is because I am not an idiot.
02:03
You know I am a genius. I'm the most intelligent man this business has ever produced.
02:16
And the other thing that kills you is both you and you who are stupid enough to bring your wives - that's right: Right now, they're wondering what it would be like to spend the night with me.
02:34
What would it be like to be thrown around by that big seven-foot monster?
02:45
Oh yeah. Oh yeah, and you know, you KNOW that you don't measure up.
02:57
I'm the greatest that's ever been in this ring.
03:03
And the biggest problem you guys got is all of you together - if you pulled your money - you wouldn't have as much as I spend in a strip joint in a month.
03:21
You don't have to like it, but you better learn to love it - cause I'm the best thing going today.
GLOSSARY
outsmarts: burlar; disdain: desden; don't measure up: no dar la talla; pulled: tirado;
You're going out? Didn't you lose your match tonight?
00:12
Yeah, but you know, he cheated so it's cool.
00:16
It's cool? You realize it's a Triple Threat Main Event Match tonight going on live on RAW to see who's going to WrestleMania? You're telling me it's cool, your leaving? You're not gonna stay here and watch the show?
00:27
Carlito's not in the Main Event, so why?
00:31
Did you ever stop and think that there is a reason why guys like you - and I'm talking about GUYS LIKE YOU - are not in the Main Event? That's right, why you're not in the Main Event? Because maybe you're a lazy, underachieving son of a bitch - lucky to be walking the halls of this building, lucky to be on the RAW roster! Lucky to be here at all! You're really pissin' me off right now!
00:53
Where's your problem?
00:55
My problem? I'll tell you what my problem is! GUYS LIKE YOU! That they have no passion! No guts! You want all the money, you want all the glory, you wanna fly first class, you wanna walk around with someone like her You don't deserve it! You haven't worked for it! You haven't bled, sweat and paid the price to be here.
01:15
THAT's what's driving me crazy! I'm walking around trying to figure out why GUYS LIKE YOU are taking MY spot? YEAH! GUYS LIKE YOU are taking my spot! I've been here forever and I'm gonna work my ass off to stay here.
01:30
McMahon told me today if I wanna stay I'm gonna have to prove it to him. If you wanna stay you better prove it to yourself.
01:39
It's not cool, it's pathetic! PATHETIC! I'm walking around trying to figure out what my name is and you are LEAVING before the Main Event? Yeah me!
01:50
Sometimes I'm walking around trying to figure out who I am and the whole Goddam world knows who I am. Except me sometimes. And you're leaving?
GLOSSARY
underachieving: bajo rendimiento; halls: pasillos; pissin' me off: enfadandome;
for somebody brave enough to fight me. I guess what I'm saying, Austin, is that you're so full of crap, your eyes are startin' to turn brown!
00:18
Sunday is Judgment Day - this is what I want you to do, son - when you get up Sunday morning, I want you to take your ass to church, and you better give your soul to the Lord, because yo'r ass belongs to me!
00:48
Now Triple H, this is where it gets real good.
00:54
As far as your challenge to my little brother Kane for a chain match at Judgment Day... on behalf of my brother, he gladly accepts!
01:17
And he wanted me to mention to ya that it's on. As far as the tag team titles, we're gonna do that. We'll do that tonight.
01:32
Now Austin, I know I heard ya - you said you didn't much care for traps. So you really - heh - you really aren't gonna like what happens now.
apparently Kane is not the smartest member of his illustrious family.
00:16
You see, because it was pretty simple - all he had to do was one thing - and that was just stay away.
00:27
After the beating that Stone Cold Steve Austin and I gave Kane, all he had to do was sit home, nurse his broken arm and stay outta our business.
00:43
But Kane, well, Kane is not the sharpest man in the world, now, is he.
00:51
Kane had to make his triumphant return... ["Ass-hole"]...
01:12
it won't take but a second for us to come out there and kick all your asses.
01:25
As I was saying, Kane had to make his triumphant return Thursday on SmackDown!
01:33
So you see, Kane, you leave me with no choice but to finish the job we started.
01:40
So I offer you this: Kane, I will give you a shot at the intercontinental title.
01:51
At Judgment Day, you and I will go one on one with the intercontinental championship on the line, and since you and your brother seem to enjoy using chains so much, why don't we make it insteresting, Kane? Why don't we make it a chain match?
02:16
Now I know you're not the smartest man in the world, but even you can understand that.
02:22
So if you've got any guts at all, why don't you come out here and accept my challenge!
02:42
That dumb son of a bitch ain't gonna come down that ramp!
02:49
No no no, he's smart enough to realise, as much as we've been kickin' his ass, he ain't comin' down that ramp! And he ain't dumb enough to accept that challenge. At Judgment Day, I know - I know you're gonna whip his ass, and speakin' of Judgment Day, every�....
03:11
every single day I walk through an airport, someone says 'hey Stone Cold, I guess you're worried about the Undertaker. He's gonna beat you for the World Wrestling Federation title.
He's
gonna�
03:27
let me go ahead and bottom line it - the Undertaker ain't got a chance in hell against Stone Cold Steve Austin, because...
03:39
because he ain't got the guts, because he ain't got the talent, and the bottom line is, my name is Stone Cold Steve Austin ["Boo"]
03:51
I am the World Wrestling Federation champ and I can't be stopped.
03:56
And you know, last week, Undertaker, you come out here and you set a trap for Stone Cold Steve Austin, right here in this very ring.
04:04
You know you come down here with your chairs, your chains, and all that BS, well let me tell you something - Stone Cold Steve Austin never needed a chair.
04:14
I never needed a chain. I never needed to hit someone from behind, but that's the way you're gonna treat me?
04:22
I am the World Wrestling Federation champion, and I deserve to be treated a lot better than that!
04:33
I'll knock the hell out of every single one of ya.
04:37
And I'll tell you what, I've been thinking in the back and me and Triple H started talking. You know we ain't defended the World Wrestling Federation tag titles since we beat Undertaker and Kane the last time.
04:49
So since they're all high and mighty, they all think they're so damn hot, right here in Cincinnati Ya say that like you're proud to live in this cesspool.
05:09
Like I was saying, right here tonight, Undertaker and Kane, if ya got the guts, why don't ya come out here, and you know what? You know what? ["Boo!"] SHUT UP!
05:24
You ain't gotta come out here, shut up, you ain't gotta come out here and make us famous - oh no no, we're already famous, why don't you bring your asses out here and make us EX-World Wrestling Federation tag team champions.
05:44
I'll tell ya why - because you CAN'T - you can't STOP Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H.
05:56
The truth hurts, don't it. The truth hurts.
06:46
You know, it's kinda loud in here, but I'd be damned if I don't think I heard you call me a coward.
06:57
So let me get this straight with ya right now - I ain't a coward, I'm just a man who's looking

Yeah, sure. And you guys, you still hang out with him? He spent time together?
00:08
We're still good friends. And I bump into him all the time.
00:13
You should be more careful.
00:17
Stevie is a martial artist.
00:19
He is?
00:22
Once in awhile when he gets close to you, he will kind of nudge up to you and kind of like take two fingers and go like that.
00:30
Really? -- Like he's cutting your throat.
00:33
You have taught him anything?
00:34
He taught me, man. -- Really?
00:38
Wow. -- You have to watch out for Stevie.
00:40
Yeah. Especially on the road. Definitely.
00:44
So -- you were very nice to do something for us.
00:48
We've got a guard security -- we make fun with Guillermo and everything, but behind the scenes, the rest of our security team, top notch.
00:56
Would you agree with that?
00:58
Frightening.
00:59
I think that's another accurate way to put it.
01:03
Steven came in earlier today to -- work with them.
01:08
Not that they need help but to take it to the next level.
01:12
To take them from top notch to top notcher.
01:15
Yeah.
01:16
I thought that I might learn something from them, so, I came down.
01:19
That didn't happen, but here, let's take a look, steven seagal, training our security team.
01:37
you're doing security for mr. Kimmel here.
01:40
Let's say he's jimmy, right, like this.
01:43
And let's say this person is coming to assault mr. kimmel.
01:47
And she comes in to grab him.
01:49
Now, you're -- the guard, what are you going to do.
01:51
Grab him.
01:54
That's it?
01:55
No, wait a minute. She went too fast.
01:58
Real bad guys might move fast.
02:05
Keep in mind, when she comes to grab him, she may be trying to hit him or anything. Okay. Okay?
02:13
I'm jimmy kimmel, look at me, I'm jimmy kimmel.
02:20
Steven seagal, he's like one of the biggest movie stars in the world, and come down to it, he's just like you and me.
02:28
You're embarrassing me.
02:31
But what's going to happen?
02:34
If somebody tries to hurt jimmy kimmel?
02:37
You are going to stop him this time.
02:44
If anybody can whip us into shape, Steven can.
02:47
Do you think I'm proud of your abilities? Yes. Absolutely. Yes. Yes. No.
02:54
When he comes with his hands out like this, as his hands are out, one thing you could do is, the finger -- I'm supposed to be Jimmy Kimmel.
03:04
It's exciting to work with Steven Seagal. He's tall. He's handsome.
03:18
You ready? And go.
03:21
Okay, I got it. I got it.
03:26
Why are you way back there?
03:28
Because they were attacking each other. I wanted to stay away from them.
03:32
I'm embarrassed that you guys are calling yourselves security guards.
03:36
I would like to [ bleep ] the [ bleep ] out of steven seagal.
03:43
I'm Steven Seagal, jimmy kimmel live security.
03:47
There you go.
03:48

04:12
our next guest made her broadway debut in Les Miserables since then she's been in "spring awakening" in Fiddler on the Roof and " you can see her now on the big hit show "glee," the first season of Glee will be available on dvd ON DECEMBER 29th AND "GLEE: The music volume 2" is in stores now.
04:26
That's what it looks like. Please welcome Leah Michelle.
04:43
Hi. Congratulations.
04:44
How are you? I'm good.
04:46
How are you? I am great.
04:48
Things are going great for you. Everybody loves the show. It's a big hit.
04:52
It's about a glee club. It is.
04:53
Are there glee clubs?
04:55
I never heard of the glee club itself. I started on the show but ...
05:00
Kids are starting glee clubs.
05:04
Glee club was a common thing -- did you have one?
05:07
I was not -- I was much cooler than that.
05:09
Did anybody had a glee club? I was busy playing collar coll clarinet in the band.
05:15
We still need to beat up by the Glee Club. Really? So they are like cool. I don't know.
05:21
Did we have one?
05:23
Do you still play?
05:26
I might play it tomorrow with the mighty mighty bo bosstones when they are on the show.
05:35
You started on broadway at 8 years old, so you probably didn't hear much of anything in the way of clubs at school.
05:40
I didn't. I mean I tried to dabble in little things here and there but i auditions for my first show when I was 8.
05:48
A friend of mine was auditioning and I was like, I'll go for fun just to kind of, I don't know, sort of jealous she was getting to do it and I went, as well, and then I got it. And I've been here.
06:00
Did she get in the play also? -- No. -- Oh, no.
06:05
Seems -- that happens -- that's the story.
06:07
She's a writer now and she's brilliant.
06:09
Okay, good. At least she has something.
06:13
Everybody always asks. They're like, what happened to your friend?
06:16
I was like, everything is fine. It's a story of a twist of fate.
06:21
We're sick people. That's why.
06:23
The show for that time was lame as well was -- oh, no.
06:28
I have a picture Look at the ears!
06:33
Oh, yeah. -- I don't understand.
06:36
Where did they come from?. They're not like that now.
06:39
Um -- you look homeless in this picture.
06:42
Thank you. Thank you.
06:45
I was. -- Character is homeless, right?
06:47
Well, basically, yeah.
06:49
Very -- but that's -- wow, that's got to be some experience at 8.
06:52
And then you did that show "spring a awakening," your lead role, right?
06:57
Yeah, pretty big deal.
06:58
And then -- How old were you when that show was running?
07:02
I think when we opened on broadway I was 20, so, but i started working on it when I was
young.
07:09
I did the workshops and stuff like that.
07:10
It was a pretty sort of intense role. I think that being on "glee" now is a nice break from all
that.
07:18
That's a serious play. My brother went to see that -- and?
07:23
Why didn't you come to see it?
07:24
I don't know. Who knows why.
07:27
But -- probably a game on that night or something.
07:30
Probably something like that.
07:31
But there was, like, you were in a sex scene -- yes.
07:36
Did you hear?
07:37
You get that on broadway, people making noises?
07:40
Something just like what just happened.
07:44
I mean, it's pretty amazing.
07:45
It wasn't until I came back to see the show that I was like, oh, my god, I did that every single night.
I was
like, cover your eyes!
07:54
What did you do?
07:55
It was a simulated sex scene. Very tastefully done.Real, really beautiful.
08:01
But you know, you run into your nights when you have someone who is maybe had a little bit too much to drink and -- The other actors?
08:09
No.
08:11
Suddenly you're pregnant on stage.
08:13
You don't know how it happened. No.
08:14
You mean in the audience.
08:16
What do they do?
