Michael [after Vince introduces his "lumberjacks"] Ladies and gentlemen, that is the Hart family. You see David Hart Smith, Natalya walking in with the rest of the Hart family behind Mr. McMahon. You gotta be kidding me! Look at this!
This is the same Hart family we saw earlier at WrestleMania after honoring their father Stu Hart, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Has Vince bought the Hart family?!
JJerry
I just can't help but think back, last we heard from Vince McMahon last week on Raw when he...his final chilling words, he said, "Bret, no matter what, at WrestleMania, you're screwed." Did he already know?
Will Mr. McMahon stop at nothing to humiliate this man? Ladies and gentlemen, Bret Hart was one of Mr. McMahon's most important and lucrative superstars. In late 1997, Bret's contract was coming to an end, they couldn't reach an agreement, Bret headed out of the company. What does Mr. McMahon do on one of his last nights here? He screws Bret Hart out of the Championship in Montreal, one of the most controversial events of all time!
Guys, I gotta tell you – this is genius. I love this.
JJerry
No, this is not genius.
Yeah, there's Bruce Hart.
It's evil genius is what it is, Matt.
Smith Hart, Stu's firstborn son.
In many ways, this is pathetic.
Because it's pathetic. Because Mr. McMahon cannot let bygones be bygones. For thirteen years this has been going on! Bret Hart came back here to bury the hatchet; he did so with Shawn Michaels, and now this.
...
BHBret "Hit Man" Hart
You've all agreed to this? Bruce, you've agreed to this? There's not much I can do about it. What's done is done. There's one thing I know about the Hart family – you all got paid up front, didn't you? Got your money, cashed your checks, put it in the bank? [Everyone nods] Well, there's one thing I learned from the Montreal Screwjob: that's that there's nothing sweeter than a good double-cross. See, the thing here, Vince, is the Hart family – we're stronger than ever and we're united as one tonight. They told me what you were trying to do and we all agreed ahead of time. We all know about your little tricks, but tonight, this your greatest creation of them all, WrestleMania, it's gonna be forever remembered as the night that Bret screwed Vince!
Wait a minute. Oh! The Hart family's on the take!
This is the chairman and CEO of a publicly traded company being treated like this.
Yeah, but how about how he treated Bret Hart? How about that, Matt? Besides, Mr. McMahon signed up for this. Mr. McMahon agreed to this match-up.
Not under these conditions.
He tried to buy the Hart family off, they just turned the tables on him. Mr. McMahon would've done the same thing.
JJerry
Before that, Matt, Mr. McMahon put Bret up to being in this match when he thought Bret had a broken leg.
If I've learned one thing from Mr. McMahon, it's that you never do bad business, and this is bad business by the Harts.
[after Shawn Michaels mocks the Undertaker's signal for the Tombstone Piledriver, he slaps him] Well, if Shawn Michaels is going out, he's going out as defiant as ever.
JJerry
[in his anger, the Undertaker picks up Michaels and turns him upside down] That look of disbelief on the face of the Undertaker has turned into a look of rage! [Undertaker hits the Tombstone] ACK!
TOMBSTONE! TOMBSTONE! [Undertaker folds Michaels's arms and covers him] Here's the cover! [Charles Robinson counts three] The Undertaker is 18-0! Shawn Michaels's career is over.
The winner of this match: The Undertaker!
[referring to Triple H] The Game makes his way up!
JLJerry "The King" Lawler
Ohhhh no!
[Triple H counters by sliding back and pushes the Undertaker into the turnbuckle]
[Undertaker runs into Shawn Michaels's Sweet Chin Music to the jaw, which staggers The Undertaker]
[Triple H kicks Undertaker in the gut and underhooks both of his arms]
SWEET CHIN MUSIC! SWEET CHIN MUSIC!
[overlapping] LOOK AT THIS! LOOK AT THIS!
[Triple H executes his finishing move, The Pedrigree, on the Undertaker]
[overlapping] PEDIGREE! A PEDIGREE!
[Shawn Michaels runs in to make the count.]
STREAK'S OVER! STREAK'S OVER!
[Shawn Michaels counts as the crowd chants "1...2..."]
ANOTHER COUNT! HE GOT IT—!
[Undertaker raises his left shoulder up]
[Shawn Michaels collapses by the turnbuckle in disbelief as he covers his own face over what he just done]
OH, HE HAVEN'T GOT IT! IT'S NOT OVER! IT'S NOT OVER! THE STREAK LIVES! AND MICHAELS— OH, HE'S—
Shawn Michaels have been calling this matchup down the middle! He was gonna ring the bell and take Taker out of it! And then he was put in the Hell's Gate!
Michaels had put into a very tough position for Mr. WrestleMania to be in!
[Instant replay is shown at the previous moment]
His emotions overwhelming him!
Here's this kick, right there! Bam! Downtown! A slobberknocker! The Sweet Chin Music! And then The Pedrigree!
JJerry
And somehow, amazingly, The Undertaker still lives— look at this!
The Undertaker will not die! On April 1st, 2012, he will not die!
JLJerry "The King" Lawler
It was pretty impressive. I'm not gonna say they're the greatest thing since sliced bread, I don't know that they're the greatest team in sports-entertainment.
I don't know if you can name anybody better. Do you believe in the Shield now? If not, you should.
JLJohn "Bradshaw" Layfield
Look at this, that is insulting, Daniel Bryan sticking his hand out like that, mocking Triple H. What a disrespectful move.
JLJerry "The King" Lawler
JBL, how short is your memory? Have you drinking milk from forgetful cows? Milk of amnesia? Let me tell you something. You realize the last time Daniel Bryan stuck his hand out, Triple H put handcuffs on him.
He should've, he broke the law.
Kofi Kingston [by Cesaro] ...lobbed over the top rope and he's out. [The referees notice that Kofi's feet are still on the steps] Wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa!
JJerry
His feet didn't hit the floor.
Kofi's feet did not hit the floor. [Kofi scoots onto the steps and re-enters the ring] That is incredible! That is incredible!
John, would a victory tonight for Brock Lesnar be the greatest conquer of his career?
Absolutely. 3-time WWE Champion; IWGP Champion; his third UFC fight, he won the Heavyweight Championship; in his fourth UFC fight, UFC 100, he unified the Heavyweight Championship, National Champion 2000; 2008 Sports Illustrated Newcomer of the Year; all of that pales in comparison if Brock Lesnar ends the Streak tonight.
JJerry
You know what else would be worse than awful if Brock Lesnar ends the Streak? It would probably submit that walrus Paul Heyman's legacy as possibly the greatest strategist, possibly the best manager ever.
I disagree. Right now, he is arguably the greatest manager. I say you take off any of those caveats, he becomes the greatest manager of all time if he leads the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, to victory tonight.
JJerry
That's what I was saying. The big word is "if".
[Brock Lesnar has kicked out of the Tombstone Piledriver]
Undertaker signals it's over.
[Undertaker picks up Lesnar for another Tombstone]
Again...[Lesnar falls back onto his feet and picks up Undertaker] Brock Lesnar countered. Brock Lesnar countered! Lesnar countered! He's got Undertaker over his shoulders again!
Going for a triple! [Lesnar hits the F-5] A third F-5 on the Undertaker! Brock Lesnar into the cover! Hooks the leg! [Chad Patton counts to three] The Streak is over.
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT! [With the arena in shock, Heyman rushes to Lesnar] You did it! You did it! You did it! You beat him, Brock! You conquered the Streak! Brock, you did it! You did it!
[a little bit shocked, just like everyone else in the arena or stadium] Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match: Brock Lesnar.
[Lesnar and Heyman leave the ring]
So are 75,000 people here.
I was hoping I wouldn't see it.
I honestly thought I'd never see it.
I guess fairytales do end.
Brock Lesnar just cemented his legacy as one of the greatest performers in WWE history.
JJerry
Guys, you still gotta admit, the man who has cemented his legacy is the Undertaker. The longest-running streak, 21 straight victories at WrestleMania. That will never, never ever be duplicated.
The king of the jungle is now Brock Lesnar, and the greatest manager of all time is Paul Heyman.
JJerry
Heyman vowed that he and Brock Lesnar would end the Streak. They did.
Daniel Bryan...knee to Batista! Knee to Batista! Knee to Batista! [Daniel cinches the YES! Lock on Batista] Come on, Bryan! Come on, Bryan! YES! Lock! Come on, Daniel! Come on, Daniel!
Tap out Batista! Tap out Batista!
Batista's gonna tap! Batista's gonna tap! [Batista taps out]
HE DID IT! HE DID IT! DANIEL BRYAN DID IT!
THE MIRACLE KID! THE MIRACLE KID! A MIRACLE ON BOURBON STREET!
The winner of this match as a result of a submission...and NEW WWE World Heavyweight Champion: Daniel Bryan!
The impossible dream has become reality! Did anyone expect this?
JJerry
Absolutely not! They hoped for it!
Daniel Bryan has overcome the Authority.
There's your new face of WWE! Daniel Bryan has done it!
JJerry
[continues to chant as pyrotechnics explode on the stage] YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
April 6, 2014—the night Daniel Bryan's arrived!
