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.
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?

00:16
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

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?

Hulk, it's great of you to join me tonight. Hulk, you'll be squaring off against Shawn Michaels at SummerSlam. Now that Shawn Michaels, he's a tough guy, isn't he?
00:38
LET ME TELL YA SOMETHING, BROTHER: This is a dream match, brother. One that I've always dreamed of, brother. I got news for ya: I'll be 102 years old, brother, by the time I step into the ring at SummerSlam.
00:49
Every day the Hulkster wakes up that he's not dead, brother, he's living upon his time.
00:54
Let me ask you a question, Hulky: Are you a bad guy or a good guy?
00:59
Well, on camera, brother, I'm a great guy. But when that camera goes off, brother, it's a different story, brother, ho-ho.
01:07
Brother, brother�-brother, brother, BROTHER!
01:13
So Hulky, do you still like the wrestling?
01:17
Are you kidding, brother? I love it. It's in my blood, brother! It's also in my knee, brother, and in my hip, brother.
01:24
But I just can't seem to shake it, brother. And when you shake too hard brother, it's gonna be in my back. Do you know what I mean, brother? BROTHER! Brother�-brother, brother.
01:34
Okay, don't you think you're a little old for the wrestling?
01:38
I got news for ya, Larry-brother. It's not how old you are brother, it's how old you feel. And I feel 157, brother!"
01:50
Hello my question is for Hulk: When will I see you again here in Battle Creek?
01:57
Again in Battle Creek? That would imply that I would have ever gone to Battle Creek, brother.
02:02
The Hulkster only makes the big towns, brother!
02:06
Haha, now come on, come on, let's be serious. How are you gonna stand in the ring with this Shawn Michaels? I mean, he's the showstopper, he's the icon.
02:16
He's a real tough guy. Here, take a look.
05:08
Bro�-ther�-
05:11
Hulky, what's gonna happen at SummerSlam?
05:14
Well, after seeing that, brother, I've obviously got some serious politicking to do, backstage with Vincent K. McMahon.
05:20
You see, brother, Shawn Michaels is obviously an amazing athlete, brother. But he never quite made it to the upper tier, brother.
05:27
You see, after I've walked out the WWE, brother, I've decided to go make even more money somewhere else, brother, they gave them all to Shawn Michaels.
05:36
But he didn't quite get the job done. You see, he's got more important things on his mind, like becoming the greatest 'wrestler' that has ever stepped to the ring, brother.
05:45
He's more concerned about going out there each and every night, brother, and stealing the show. Brother, he works just as hard in Battle Creek, Michigan, brother, than he does in Madison Square Garden, brother.
05:57
See, the Hulkster, brother, he's got a philosophy, brother. Once when people are in the building, brother, you've already got their money in front pocket, brother.
06:07
But Shawn Michaels, brother, he'd rather go out there and nearly kill himself every night, brother, just to make sure those people get their moneys worth, brother.
06:16
But you see something, it's not gonna matter. It's not gonna matter, brother.
06:23
Cause, you know Mean Gene, brother, when the Hulkster�-
WHATCHA GONNA DO, brother, when the Hulkster comes at you, Shawn Michaels, at SummerSlam, brother. We're gonna hulk up, brother, you and me, for the first time in history, brother.
06:44
The first time, brother, the last time, brother, the only time, brother. And when that bell rings, brother�- OHOHOHO BROTHER�- �- AAAAH, BROTHER, BROTHER, AAARGH, BROTHER, BROTHER�-
07:33
Hulk Hogan, you've got your reality show: 'Hogan Knows Best'. At SummerSlam, what are you gonna do�- when reality, kicks right in your face?
GLOSSARY
squaring off : peleando; tough guy: hombre amenazante; hip: cadera; upper tier: grada superior;
9:55 When I first came to Smackdown, my goal was to... to write a new chapter in the Book of Ezekiel.
10:03
It was supposed to be an epic tale of total domination.
10:09
I decided... no, I promised myself that I was gonna make an impact. That's why I joined The Corre.
10:20
You know, the first when we came to Smackdown we took this show by force. We... we just took over.
10:29
But because of who? You know, the same night I've hoisted a 500 pound giant and slammed him.
10:42
It made me think. Do I need The Corre, or do they need me? That's why I left.
10:54
But they just wouldn't let me walk away.
11:02
So for the last... for the last two weeks I've taken a beating. I'm man enough to admid that I've taken a beating.
11:20
But they cannot break me. I'm not a man that could be broken.
11:30
They've unleashed... they've unleashed a force that cannot be stopped, that will not be stopped.
11:37
I will not rest, I will not sleep until they've all suffered.
11:46
Wade Barrett, you will be the first to suffer. It is written in the Book of Ezekiel that the reign of your championship will come to an end. Because I am the personification of domination.
Undertaker, by getting involved with The Rock's match last week you did one thing.
01:38
And that is directly check yourself in to the Smackdown hotel!
01:48
Undertaker, do you think you impress The Rock by coming out here with your Undertaker symbol and claim to steal the souls of all those jabronies?
01:57
Do you think you impress The Rock by taking your eyes and rolling them up into the back of your head?
02:06
Well, The Rock says, if you really wanna impress The Rock, then you will come to King of the Ring and you will put the WWF Title on the line and go ONE ON ONE WITH THE GREAT ONE!
02:26
And Undertaker, when The Great One's music hits: 'Do you smell what The Rock is cooking',
02:32
and 20,000 asses are standing on their feet with goosebumps running through their body, all chanting The Rock's name, 'Rocky, Rocky'
03:05
then, Undertaker, you bring your monkey ass to the people's ring and you come and you try to sacrifice The People's Champ. But here's the twist:
03:16
instead, Undertaker, of taking your eyes and rolling them up into the back of your head, The Rock says that you take your entire 33 pound head, turn it backwards like The Exorcist, have it roll down your back, catch it with both your hands.
03:33
And then, Undertaker, The Rock says, take your own head and proceed to shove it directly up your candy ass!
04:10
All right, young man, sing-along time is over. What you're doing is, you're out here - your mouth is writing cheques your ass can't cash.
04:32
What you fail to realise, boy, is, I've crippled more people than polio.
04:38
You can't be first, but you can be next. So in response to your nursery rhyme, let me put it like this, Rock.
04:50
It's time for you to go to the learning tree. King of the Ring - I accept.
05:00
No,no no. Wait a minute.
05:07
Hold on, I know you're eager to defend the WWF title. I understand that.
05:19
But Rock, what makes you think you are worthy of being the number 1 contender?
05:26
As far as I'm concerned, the only thing electrifying about you these days are thosegaudy shirts you wear!
05:37
It's alright. You want a shot at the Undertaker at the King of the Ring for the WWF title? No problem.
05:46
Just this little hitch. Tonight, in that very ring, in a non-title match you must be victorious.
05:56
You must win the match, Rock. One way or another, tonight to get your title shot at the King of the Ring. What about it, Rock?
06:14
The Rock says not only will he whip his monkey ass at the King of the Ring but he will do it tonight. If you smell what The Rock...is cooking!
06:44
Hey Rock, stop the Rock's music. Since this is a night of stipulations we have a stipulation for you this evening between you and the Undertaker.
07:56
And Rock tonight, you will find out exactly what that stipulation is five minutes before you come out. If you smell what the Macs are cooking! Now hit the Rock's music.
GLOSSARY
jabronies: perdedores; nursery rhyme: tema de guarderia; crippled: lisiado; gaudy: llamativo; hitch: obstaculo;
Este video fue un poco mas dificil de subtitular tengo que agradecer la ayuda de mi amiga Melanie que me ayudo con el video. Thanks so much Melanie.
00:01
You know, Kane has not arrived here yet,
00:03
but I'm told that he will be escorted by a team of police officers,
00:07
straight from his home to the ring.
00:09
And when he does get here, I'll be here to give you a report.
00:12
They're out here waiting for Kane?.
00:15
What's the big deal about him? Everyone is talking about him.
00:18
The big deal tonight is Chris Jericho getting his WrestleMania revenge over Shawn Michael's right here in Los Angeles.
00:25
Yeah, people aren't paying to see Kane, Terry.
00:28
They're paying to see 2 things:
00:29
Chris Jericho, the highlight of the night,
00:33
the king of bling-bling beating Shawn Michaels and the pain to see Steve Austin
00:38
in his last night as RAW general manager,
00:41
thanks to my brilliant idea of sending the petition to leaving the band last week.
00:46
I'm in such a good mood, I feel like singing and dancing.
00:50
I changed a couple words 'cause Hollywood really isn't all it's cracked up to be.
00:52
A little bit seedy?. So here it is:
00:54
Hooray for Jericho! The king of bling-bling is here!
00:58
Hooray for Jericho! Shawn Michaels getting beaten tonight right here, here
GLOSSARY
highlight: destacado; king of bling-bling: another term for expensive, often flashy jewelry, bling-bling was mainly used by black rappers, the king of bling-bling, he is saying he's rich, he's successful; I'm in such a good mood: I'm really happy; Hollywood really isn't all it's cracked up to be: Hollywood isn't what it appears, its reality is different from its reputation;
open my eyes to everything again, you know, and really, really soak all of these experiences up.
02:50
Almost like I'm seeing it all again for the very first time.
02:57
Like my entrance, I uhh,
03:02
you know I've been involved in some of the most insane matches in the history of the WWE.
03:13
Some of the most insane moments whether it was helping to create the TLC Match - tables, ladders and chairs -
03:24
whether it was 20-foot super-spears,
03:28
diving into a flaming tables with thumbtacks in my back,
03:33
whether it was Elimination Chamber matches or Hell in a Cell Matches against The Undertaker.
03:41
No matter what, every time that I was going into a match like that or
03:47
I have taken red eye flights and been up all night and two days because of our travel schedule, no matter what:
03:52
As soon as I came down that ramp with my music playing - which I may be biased but I think is the coolest music in the WWE,
04:03
so I gotta thank the guys from Alter Bridge for give me that song
04:08
No matter what, as soon as I came out and hearing you guys,
04:13
hearing all of you just feeding me that energy...
04:45
Every time, every time I came out there you gave me goosebumps.
04:51
And I have to do that one more time.
04:56
So if you guys will bear with me, I'm going back up there and I'm running out here and I'm going to do that one last time.
07:05
Man I got out of shape already, that tired me out.
07:14
Listen, I—Since I announced my retirement,
07:20
the outpouring from everybody in the WWE Universe it's been insane, it's been awesome.
07:31
And a lot of people are sad and disappointed that my career is forced to come to an end.
07:39
But you know what: I think, I think everybody is actually happy and very positive about the fact that
07:45
the WWE and our team of doctors caught this before I was in a Ladder Match and I landed
07:51
and couldn't get up. So that's good, that's a positive, I'm happy about that.
08:07
I'm happy about looking at the rest of my life from here.
08:10
I'm happy about the fact that me and my girl are gonna get the dogs and go hiking in the mountains,
08:15
go surfing down in Nicaragua, I can't wait.
08:22
I'm happy about the fact that I get to wear my two suits
08:26
I'm not much of a suit guy as I can tell, but I thought that when I go out I might as well go out in style.
08:36
And by the way I bought it for 100 bucks at JC Penney.
08:46
I'm happy that I got to come to Albany.
08:54
I really am. And I'm not just blowing smoke here, because Albany,
08:59
it holds a special place for me, because this is where I won my very first WWE Championship.
09:12
It's a little known fact but I was sitting in Albany in a rental car when I came up with the name Edge.
09:21
And what makes me most happy - and this is gonna be the tough part -
09:25
is that my mom is with me here tonight.
09:34
There she is right there. There she is.
09:42
She is gonna be all shy and timid, but this is the strongest woman I've ever met.
09:51
That woman right there...
10:06
she instilled the strength in me to make it this far, to come through the broken necks, the torn achilles tendons.
10:11
If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be standing here right now,
10:15
without her support over the years, I wouldn't have been able to do it.
10:22
So everybody in here: Maybe give your mums a call tonight, alright?
10:30
And I'm happy to be here in front of all of you.
10:38
You know I don't want it to get all sappy and corny - even though I guess it already has -
10:44
but to me this World Heavyweight Championship,
10:50
it has meant everything to me. Absolutely everything. I—I've worked my entire career to hold this.
10:59
But it's not just mine, it never has been, it's not anyone else's in the locker room.
11:06
To me, each and everyone of you holds a piece of this, it's symbolic.
11:19
But now it's time for me to come out here and do what I have to do,
11:28
and that is relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship.
11:37
Oh it's cool, it's cool, I gotta do it, man.
11:44
In closing, I really really just, I wanna thank all of you
11:51
because this has been one hell of a career,
12:01
it's been one hell of a ride. Thank you. Thank you very much.
