[6y78j]

the bigger the come the bigger they get!! ahah JR is the best

[skillzz329]

Which Kane is that?

[theshow2k8]

@skillzz329

What do you mean by ''which Kane is it''?

[bigmanryan1]

u dont get john cunta gettin pops like triple h austin and wrestlers back then got.

[mrassassinscreedfan1]

pause at about 3.12 triple h's arms are bigger than the big show's. damn triple h was a monster back then

[OhSoNoVa]

Didnt this happen another time with the Rock involved and on another show? (Heat back when it didnt feature just jobbers?) Or was that the 2001 Rumble?

[Lengua1985]

THIS ISWHEN WWE WAS THESHIT NOW WWE IS GARBAGE WIT PPL LIKE JOHN CENA N OTHERS AHHH THE ATTTUDE ERA AN ERA WE WILL NEVA SEE AGAIN GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES.

[bryanero]

@Lengua1985 thats what i mean. why is it so watered down? when you really think about it the reason is because nobody except triple h & friends are allowed to get over. sad i know

[SuperMarkmoney]

@Lengua1985 pull the nostalgia stick outta ur ass for christ sake damn. atleast have some respect for the new talent u and ALOT! of other so called fans need to move on

[discoshit]

the very very VERY near end of the attitude era

[UNDERTAKERTHEPHENOM]

it takes one tough bastard to hit a pedigree to a 500 pound monster

[bryanero]

back when hhh was awesome now he sucks

[KTOWNLEGEND76248]

@bryanero No PG sucks!!!

[bryanero]

@KTOWNLEGEND76248 so does pg triple h

[AJ36sXe]

@bryanero What's the difference and @KTOWNLEGEND76248 SmackDown was PG lol

[gt10t]

@bryanero dude he's not suck,,,,he's now 41

[bryanero]

@gt10t well hes boring now compared to back then

[bryanero]

@gt10t he can be 21 age isnt a factor. theres more to wwe than triple h which is why everyone liked him back then

[gt10t]

@bryanero so brother in these days who'z ur favourite wrestler 

[bryanero]

@gt10t thats a tough 1.. either punk or orton

[Lengua1985]

@bryanero PLEASE THE SUPERSTARS OF TODAY HAVE NOTHING ON THE SUPERSTARS FROM THE ATTITUDE ERA EVEN THO SOME R STILL THERE FROM THAT ERA WE WILL NEVA SEE AN ERA LIKE THAT AGAIN WIT WWE'S WATERED DOWN PG PRODUCT IM GLAD I WAS AROUND FOR THAT ERA THE BEST EVA .

[YoungGun9934]

@Lengua1985 No kidding Austin 3:16 era -The Rock Says Era-American Badass Undertaker-Pg CRAP there was a time when wwf was the best not wwe rip wwf I m glad I was around during that ERA

[shitmanoc]

triple H was a HUGE guy back then!!

[AceHunter87]

NOW THIS IS THE SHIT PERIOD

[KillerUnit123]

R.I.P wwf we will DEFINENTLY MISS YOU

[vkyhunk]

Game On...!!!

[tdylan]

Christ! Big Show as in great shape then!

[seven7ofnine]

@tdylan lol no he weghed 30 more pounds then than now, its just his top is different, it has two straps there not 1 if u know wt i mean

[tdylan]

@seven7ofnine "Shape" has nothing to do with weight. He weighed more, but he seemed to be stronger (in ability and appearance) back then. Nowadays his physique looks more "loose" and "out of shape" to me.

[gt10t]

@tdylan on that time he was only 33 yearz old but now he's 41,,,,so obviously he looks out of shape : )

[Srky6P]

Before that return Triple H was heel all his carreer and still gets huge pop...True fans respect true legends...

[messycumshot]

back when wrestling ment something now if i heard the crowd like tht now a days then i would prob die lol

[kolisionn]

triple h was a fuckin beast back then

[bludika]

@kolisionn he still is...at this time in the video, he was badass when he was evolution, and even now, still in great shape

[kolisionn]

@bludika true but compare his 02 to his current look. his physique was monsterly if thats a word

[brockhit]

taker lukin sexy

[6y78j]

good times when wwe was wwf

[6y78j]

WTF that was amazing 

[6y78j]

i miss those times

[19Smackme]

damn Attitude triple h and undertaker old days

[XXXINC]

2 dislikes? I guess Austin and Angle watched this video. It had to suck pretending to be down for that long and listening to HHH get all glory. lol.

[XXXINC]

That part at the end with H and Taker is even more epic now, after their match at Wrestlemania.

[MultiWilliams32]

that was one hell of a chokeslam by Big Show.

[ChiknThighTatorPie]

they shot a lotta shows at msg that year.

[XXXINC]

Ive been looking all over for this. As far im concerned this was even more epic than when he returned on Raw the night before. The roar from the crowd was off the charts. And the stare down between H and Taker at the end was awesome.

[DinFury2007]

@XXXINC  I was at MSG when it happened. The place went ballistic!

[wadey210]

how loud was the cheer triple h got ! what a legend !!!!

[wadey210]

@wadey210 in fact, it wasnt even a cheer it was a roar

[69erPhil]

Now, The Rocks Pop is Nothing Compared to this!!! hahaha

[MrSexytito]

thouse were the best time in my life as a wwf fan i was 8 yrs old

[mistanderson]

This is not the Final Smackdown before the Royal Rumble. This is the first week Triple H return.

[69erPhil]

@mistanderson if you listen to J.R, Its not....

[mistanderson]

@69erPhil Yeah he said Oh what a Royal Rumble its gonna be. Because they know who is gonna be and the action that just take place. Watch the video with The Rock returning to save Foley for WM20, he said Oh what a WM its gonna be as well and it was 2 weeks before.

[69erPhil]

@mistanderson hhh came back the week before

[mistanderson]

@69erPhil Bruh I'm telling u This was the same week Triple H came back. He came back Jan 7 on Raw at MSG. THIS SMACKDOWN WAS TAKING PLACE IN MSG AS WELL. I got PROOF.

[XXXINC]

@mistanderson Your exactly right. WWE was still taping Smackdown on Tuesdays back then and this was the night AFTER he returned on Raw

[whitty982000]

Now that Ladies and Gentleman is how you build a Royal Rumble pay per view!

[spinking458]

I was 10 when this happend, and i remember it like it was yesturday, probably the best ending to a wwe show that i have seen in the 12+ years i have watched this show. goosebumps, miss crowds like this so much.

[1PMGmusic]

HHH got such a huge pop because he came back from knee surgery and i believe this was his first appearance after so many build ups and FUUUCK did he get super ripped when he was rehabbing, not that he wasnt already, then went on to win against fozzy

[mistanderson]

@1PMGmusic It was that week he return. First appearance on SmackDown

[nuknuknuk111]

triple h got the hugest pop in 2002

[Tony007corp]

all the people saying how good the wwe was back then are probably in theirs 20s and dont realize its pretty much been the same all along also i remember one year the whole ring got filled with superstars as they came one after the other i remember there were like 20 people in the ring all fighting and the smackdown ended like that.

[SouthPark00000]

The roar triple h got was amazing, gave me chills, imagine having ppl cheer for you like that

[B2619100]

@SouthPark00000 my god bro

[gt10t]

i hate sting from bottom of my heart

[weyoun2006]

WWE was awesome back then, shame its awful these days.

[barkleysound]

this was when wwe was good

[WillJPalmer]

goooooosebumpsss hahaa

[DinFury2007]

I was there! Madison Square Garden! NOW THIS IS WRESTLING!

[sniper659]

i was there when this happend

[lethal22]

I love how the crowd go all silent when the undertaker appears...TAKER LEGENDER!

[presidentdiddy]

Not to be a smart ass or anything, but this was actually the 1st smackdown since Triple H's return in 2002. He had returned to Raw earlier that week. But I love the vibe from the fans of WWF and NOT the "WWE Universe"

[B2619100]

@presidentdiddy your absolutely right.

[gt10t]

@hbk2hhh simple if u don't like steroids like me so don't use it but plz don't blame only one person.

[gt10t]

@hbk2hhh hhh is not the only one use steroid many superstars use steroid

[Pinkranger87]

back when wwe was amazing

[hbk2hhh]

hhh was on steriods look how jacked he is

[whiteboywhite]

@hbk2hhh so because someones big and got muscle there on steroids? 

[hbk2hhh]

@whiteboywhite he was on steriods he just was out 8 months had all that time off to recuperate and get bigger and make it back in time for the rumble not everyone but im sure he was

[gt10t]

what a pedigree i liked the impact and watched it many many times.

[tapillaazul]

que storilyne. matchs aquellos cheee

grandes emociones dadas en aquellos momentos

que parece que no volveran por mucho tiempo en la wwe

es una lastima

[Ckaalund]

The longer they come, the bigger they get, very interesting line by JR

[planbskater191]

this is what wwe lacks not tv 14 not violence not sex but it lacks greatness.back then if u lost a week u would freak but not anymore and u cant pick a fav.now its like taker cena bring back wwf or make wwe better

[umaradil86]

What a difference JR makes in Commentary

[DaveWazzify]

I hated how obvious it was that Triple H was going to win!

[Proj3ctX1]

lol undertaker looked so bad ass

[rober2124]

What i would give to See Taker face HHH again... OH knowin this face off n their first match at WM 17.. who knows what would happen at the next one.

[KATENDE911]

Undertaker standing there at the end and watching triple h, plus JRs commentary has got to be one of the greatest endings to a show...FUCK WWE NOW!!

[bbym0nkeyx33]

Good old times :3 <33

[ukiyabo]

I miss the Smack Down Fist so much.. Bring the Old Set backs. Its awesome

[nDnStUnNa10]

@ggwstar

Because the creative team sucks and the new superstars just aren't as good.

[charismatic617]

@nDnStUnNa10 New superstars have no passion like the old times to them its all about the money

[nDnStUnNa10]

@charismatic617

Not necessarily. It's also a new time and a new era.

[EugeneBlake86]

@nDnStUnNa10 Charismatic617 is right. the new superstars have no passion. You should check out the young talent on TNA such as motorcity machine guns, those guys wrestle with passion and they make the fans go crazy.

[nDnStUnNa10]

@EugeneBlake86

Like I said it's a new time and a new ear. Most of the new superstars don't have to really work to get their spot. If Vince and the other guys like you then you're good and go up from there. Guys like HBK, The Undertaker, HHH, and many others had to work their asses off to get to their spot and to get recognition back in the day. That's where all their passion came from, As far as guys in TNA...they're only showing passion to get more people to talk about TNA to beat WWE.

[BigDaddy6065]

@1deadlyguy cena has absolutely nothing to do with it dumbass. its Vince's direction he is choosing to go to, the kids.

[EugeneBlake86]

@BigDaddy6065 cena's influence was behind the decision of turning wwe to pg.

[Amazingjourney20]

they don't get popps like this anymore

[Yessir001]

i was lookin for this clip for so long...i was there for this moment the roof came off when the game came out

[MrBanks32]

every single action got a pop.. the good old days.. *sad face*

[AP3]

at the end of shows they done really talk anymore, i guess cuz stuff like this doesnt happen anymore... i miss wwf... i miss jr too

[OofmanRulz]

I was there for this show! Kicked serious ass!

[mastermindxyz1]

the way kane stands as he looks at angle kicking austin reminds me of michael myers

[zomfgpaNic]

one of the best moments in wwe

[JAA116]

1) Kane's return to face the Un-Americans on Raw

2) Triple H's return on Raw in 2002.

3) The Rock's return to help Mick Foley against La Resistance on Raw

[crazercrazer]

triple H's first proper face run.....

[GoddyofWar]

WWF>>>>>>>>WWE

[mastermindxyz1]

@GoddyofWar

wish wwe shop would have hhh's jacket...i would buy that

[YoungGrizzly82]

HHH was built like a goddamn tank back in '02, I think he was 272 lbs; I think he was at his physical peak during that time

[roh1234]

You mean using roids at his peaks.

[ekul85]

yeah lol since the new policy hes well small yet toned? easily using substances.

[roh1234]

He did use roids at that time, i'm pretty sure he said in an interview or something once, and it couldn't be achieved, his figure especially after a torn quad, so quickly without roids.

[Venom8419]

Lets start something here......whats everyones top 3 fans ovations?mine is Kane when he returned with paul bearer against dx and radicals.2 undertaker when he returned as the american bad ass in the 60 min iron man match with triple h and the rock and then this match here.

[StworcaMGlade]

Top 3?

Stone Cold appearing on the huge WWF vs Alliance invasion.

British Bulldog winning the title in UK against Bret

Goldberg vs Chavo match.

(and many more that could compete with those 3, but i always will remember this 3 moments for -INSANE- crowd pops)

[YoungGrizzly82]

Oh yeah, Davey Boy vs Bret @ Summerslam '92, one of the greatest matches ever hands down

[YoungGrizzly82]

Austin's return @ No Way Out '03

Triple H's return on RAW, January 07, 2002

Austin's return @ Unforgiven '00

[yungrottz112]

umm

Undertakers entrance at wrestlemania 20

The rocks return on RAW(everyone thoguht stone cold was appearing that night)

and kane when he reuturned an fought the un-americans

[Venom8419]

Imagine being Triple H when his music 1st hits......what an adrenaline buzz that would go through you.Better than most narcotics put it that way.Ego trip and a half.J.R's bit when he says its all about the royal rumble was awesome aswell.

[mpk09]

this wasnt the final smackdown before rr02. its the one hhh & austin vs angle & booker. after the match taker came out and starred at both hhh & austin. this is the week before.

[SouthPark00000]

did u hear the reaction triple h got coming out, damn i miss the wwf in these dayz!

[redwingsguy96]

There was one more Smackdown before the Rumble that year...Triple H and Austin fought Angle and Booker T in a Tag match, this was the week before that one.

[redar0cks96]

man they should have something like this before 2010 royal rumble but no cena orton or batista just the remaining legends

[haj890]

ahh the good old wwf days

no cena, batista, orton, cm punk

edge and jeff haardy were mid carders

[Ko99y]

i dnt think anyone is greater than kane. he was sooo sick until he took his mask of and then he became SHITTT

[Rockwildon]

[rob2bankai]

[StoneCold1Fan]

[chrisgangsta]

[manavj999]

[wwfhasskillz]
