FULL MATCH — Big Show vs. John Cena — U.S. Title Match: WrestleMania XX

>> And you have to imagine that both of these men must be nervous. >> Yeah, well, I'll tell you what, Big Show looks extremely focused right now. [NOISE] >> Look at the face on the Big Show and he's seen a chance echoing through the garden. >> As I mentioned earlier, John Cena's first WrestleMania here tonight and what could be going through the mind of John Cena? >> Well, Big Show is the veteran, that's what John Cena's got to be worried about. Cena could be like a deer in the headlights here being nervous when the Big Show, this is not his first picnic. >> And there's the strength of the 500 pounder, the Big Show. John Cena with the right hand, the controversial, the outspoken John Cena trying to take it to Big Show- >> And Big Show- >> One hand tossing Cena through the second rope. >> Just all of the outfits by Cena just about means nothing when the Big Show just pumps the head and chucks the man out of the ring. >> Of course, here at Madison Square Garden, what a record the Big Show has compiled here. He defeated The Rock at Madison Square Garden, Big Show defeated Brock Lesnar here for the WWE championship, Big Show retired Hulk Hogan here. Big Show has been on the grand stage at Madison Square Garden. >> That's why John Cena, should be nervous. But right there, Cena put the [INAUDIBLE] Out. >> And John Cena hanging the Big Show up top rope John Cena pounding [INAUDIBLE] Attack going to the air for a moment here. Crossbody caught in midair. >> The size and power of the United States champion. And what a slam Big Show looking to make goodbye quick [INAUDIBLE] >> And John Cena kicks out Taz, plain and simple, does John Cena have a chance to win here tonight? >> Well, yeah, I think John Cena has a chance, but in my opinion, I don't think John Cena's gonna win, that's just my views. But, John Cena's a world class athlete, he's on the rise, it could be his time. But John Cena has to try and chop down his big red. >> It was back at the Royal Rumble in January that the Big Show injured the knee of John Cena. But from what we saw this past Thursday night on SmackDown, that knee looks very and look at that what a chop by the Big Show to John Cena. >> The knee of John Cena might not be the problem. >> And look at John Cena with the right hand trying to take the big man off his feet and what a closeline by the United States champion. >> And again, look at the face taking his time the Big Show is just stalking the doctor of thugonomics. And as you notice there, John Cena doesn't have that heavy knee brace that Cena usually wears. [NOISE] >> [INAUDIBLE] Big Show stalking, measuring, John Cena, lifting Cena midair and there's the strength of United States champion. >> You don't wanna make the Big Show angry, you don't want to make him mad and look at a focused giant the Big Show Cena's in trouble. >> Big show extremely focused here tonight as he's been over the past few months and there's that size 22 five feet boot on that rope into the neck, the throat of John Cena. >> Not a good way to spend a WrestleMania evening with a 500 pounders boot in your throat. And look at the sick smile on the face of Big Show, realizing he's in complete control here. >> Can't blame the Big Show for smiling he's in control. He's the veteran, the Big Show, he's the champion. You gotta bring it to the champ. Suplex John Cena, 7ft in the air, crashing to the mat below, cover, hook of the outside leg Cena kicked out again. >> That delayed vertical suplex took a lot out of Cena, Cena almost not being able to kick out of the cover. And Big Show, the power of Big Show wearing down John Cena, there's a head butt, looks like getting hit with an old typewriter. >> No doubt, no doubt this is Big Show's game, this is the strategy of Big Show now. Talk about pounding ground of Cena, what about the pounding ground of the Big Show? >> Big show [INAUDIBLE] >> And what a chop with that frying pan-like right hand of the Big Show. >> Look at this, the kidnes. >> [INAUDIBLE] Back and look at the agony in the eyes of John Cena. >> Not just a normal athlete standing on your back, a 500 pounder standing on your kidneys. >> And it really looks like at this point, the Big Show is just toying with John Cena here. >> You're right that's exactly what's happening Big Show is just playing. >> [INAUDIBLE] John Cena with a right hand. >> John Cena trying to pound his way back into this thing. >> Whoa, a boot right to the jaw. >> Good night, goodbye Cena. Kids got to be done. >> What a boot. >> You see referee Jimmy Cordera is asking John Cena, how you doing, John? Not too good as Big Show continues the assault, sitting into the small, the back of John Cena as we take another look. Watch this boot. >> Watch the head of Cena. Look at that, this whiplash-like motion with that humongous boot of Big Show in the mush of Cena. Big Show dominating in this United States championship matchup. Look at this, the big leg drop across the chest- >> [CROSSTALK] >> Cena kicked out and Big Show frustrated he didn't get the three count. Well, Big Show does not wanna get too frustrated. Stay focused champ, stay focused, and you're gonna leave the garden with the United States championship intact. >> I don't believe John Cena has any idea where he is as he struggles to make it to the ropes. That crowd at the Garden trying to will John Cena on. Well, yeah, big time support for Cena here in New York City, but I don't know if that's gonna matter any. Look at this John Cena Big show may have made a mistake. John Cena's got a sleeper hole locked in. >> He's got a nice choke right there, sleeper on that humongous giant. Big Show and burying John Cena's back into the top turnbuckle. >> The Big Show's head, his neck is just so humongous, it's hard to get good leverage and get a good tight grip on his throat. >> Big Show with a closeline straight ahead power by the 500 pounder. >> The 500 pounder, the Big Show is not just a giant, he's a smart giant, focused giant and that's why he's the United States champ. >> John Cena struggling just to make it to his knees. Now to his feet. >> Man, Big Show and look at this a cobra clutch locked in. WWE hall of famer, recent inductee, sergeant slaughter, look at Big Show, that's a humongous cobra clutch and John Cena's going bye bye. John Cena fading and this large crowd may not be able to do anything to help Cena get out of this predicament. Well, Cena's trying to fight out of this look at the size of the hands, though, of the Big Show's [INAUDIBLE] >> Shot to the midsection, the ribcage by John Cena. A second shot, John Cena to the rib of, but tossed to the mat. Too big, the size difference is just too much, Cole. John Cena's toast, John Cena very confident coming into this matchup, but big show putting on a clinic. The Cobra clutch again, this time with Cena on the mat, which gives Big Show more leverage. >> That's right all the leverage in the world, it's just a matter of time for the Big Show finishes off John Cena, nothing against John Cena. Tremendous athlete, the kid's got a great upside, but he's overmatched against United States champ, the Big Show. >> John Cena back to both feet, John Cena flying desperately with a shot to the ribs of Big Show. Again, a right hand to the ribs of the Big Show and a third right hand John Cena trying to build momentum. >> Cena's got heart, got heart no doubt about it. >> A closeline Big Show wobbles, Big Show reeling again off the right hand. John Cena with a third right hand and the kid from Massachusetts trying to battle back into this thing. He might have something here, that's some haymakers [INAUDIBLE] >> The right hand by John Cena, here's the reversal John Cena across the ring into the corner. [INAUDIBLE] To the jaw of Big Show. >> Could be an opening for Cena. >> Watch out Show, be careful here. John Cena [INAUDIBLE] John Cena went low knee to try to take the big man off his feet. Uh-oh, look at this, no, Cena's got him up. No way 500 pounds. [NOISE] >> Cena's gonna do it. [NOISE] >> [INAUDIBLE] Kicked out, I told you, Cole. I told you Cena- >> I cannot believe it. [NOISE] >> John Cena is shocked. John Cena hitting the Big Show with his best move and Big Show kicked out. >> Not only is Cena shocked, Cena looks like he's in a loss here. What's he gonna do? >> I have no idea. >> Exactly. [NOISE] >> The crowd in Cena's corner, Cena go and get on him. What does he do? >> John Cena- >> Whoa, whoa, whoa. >> Wait a minute. He can't use this, he's gonna get disqualified to carry the title that way. >> A referee doing the right thing. >> [CROSSTALK] >> He can't be cheating like this. >> Referee Jimmy Corderis doing the right thing. >> Hey, John Cena the [INAUDIBLE] On the skull of Big Show >> [CROSSTALK] The hell referee never saw it, no. [NOISE] >> Here's your winner and the new United States champion, John Cena.. >> John Cena has done the impossible, John cena has slain the giant to win the Unites States championship. >> John Cena cheated, he needed the nuts to do it, though Cole, come on. I guess whatever it takes but John Cena is the new United States champion. [MUSIC]
