00:03I know what I want for Christmas, for Dolph Ziggler to finally stop the hype of Zack Ryder here tonight.
00:20There is the longest reigning champion in WWE today, Dolph Ziggler.
00:26And ladies and gentlemen, we ask you to join in the conversation about tonight's action on Twitter by following at
00:34WWE and by using hashtag WWE TLC.
00:43And also joining us here at ringside tonight, our Spanish colleagues, Carlos Cabrera, Marcelo Rodriguez.
00:49Hey guys.
01:02Are they talking any faster, Cole?
01:07I don't talk faster than I can listen.
01:11Come on, get up, Cole.
01:12Come on, I don't know you're going to love this.
01:19You look like you just got a headache.
01:22I do.
01:37Ladies and gentlemen, the quote Ryder revolution has been taking the nation by storm.
01:43But I'm afraid to say that the flash in the pan is over tonight.
01:48Thanks for coming, Zack Ryder.
01:50Finally, he will be put in his place by Mr. Ziggler.
01:53You know, you used to have a photographic memory, but I think it's out of film.
01:56Do you not realize or remember how many times Zack Ryder has defeated Dolph Ziggler?
02:01Yeah, but again, none of those matchups were for the championship.
02:04And tonight, it's all about the United States title.
02:08Thank you for joining us live tonight here in Baltimore, Maryland for TLC as the Ryder
02:14chants have begun.
02:15And I'm sure they're chanting Ryder, Ryder, Ryder all over the world watching tonight live
02:20at the United Kingdom on Skybox Office.
02:22Places like Italy, Germany, the Philippines, all of the Middle East, but of course, our servicemen
02:28and women watching all over the world on the Armed Forces Network.
02:35Well, Dolph Ziggler, starting off cocky, arrogant, one move, and he thinks that he's beating
02:43the world.
02:44And listen to the WWE fans, the Ryder fans.
02:47What?
02:49Dolph Ziggler is putting on a clinic right now, and all these goofs can do is chant, let's go
02:54Ryder.
02:58And Ryder.
02:59Try to respond.
03:01Nice sequence there, and there's Ziggler.
03:03The high elbow, already trending worldwide, hashtag TLC, here tonight.
03:09And Ziggler, the United States Champion, and the show-off.
03:13And there's an example of why.
03:15You know, Dolph Ziggler has every reason to show off.
03:18Really?
03:20Name four.
03:22I'll name more than that.
03:23Whoa.
03:25Uh-oh, look at this.
03:27On midair.
03:28Ryder catches Ziggler.
03:29It's that Ryder.
03:31Ryder, riding a wave of momentum early, and Ziggler's in a bit of trouble.
03:36Did you just say, a bit of trouble?
03:38Ziggler has to try to, uh...
03:42Ryder out here.
03:43Look at Ryder.
03:44On the top.
03:44Pops A. Dolph is in a world of trouble, not a bit of trouble.
03:51Zach Ryder is such a goof.
03:52I mean, he's one of these kids who didn't fit in when he was growing up.
03:56People used to make fun of him.
03:57He's a so-called punder dog.
03:59And, well, as you've been saying all along, Jerry, he really took matters into his own hands and put himself...
04:04...really gave himself this opportunity.
04:05Thanks, in part, to John Cena.
04:07A better way to put that was, Zach is a unique individual.
04:09Oh, there's Ziggler.
04:11Yeah, Zach Ryder's unique.
04:12And, as I said before, a flash in the pan.
04:14But Dolph Ziggler, he's the real deal.
04:17Ziggler, a former world champion, intercontinental champion, tag team champion, United States champion.
04:23In high school, he won two national titles.
04:26He was the leading wrestler in Kent State University history.
04:29He's got a degree of clinical science and law.
04:32Okay, let's take a look at this move one more time, guys.
04:35Oh, Ziggler.
04:37Take a look at Vicky.
04:39Look at her reaction.
04:40She is so happy.
04:41Oh, and off the net, right here, Ziggler now in control.
04:44As I mentioned, he just had to weather the storm of Ryder early.
04:47And now Ziggler can take control.
04:50Just look at that smirk on his face.
04:53I mean, he is so proud of himself.
04:56Oh, elbow after elbow, straight to the heart of Zach Ryder.
05:03And Ziggler just wearing Ryder down.
05:06He's going to make an example of Zach Ryder here tonight.
05:09How many is that, 10?
05:17You know, why does this guy, why doesn't he let everyone else sing his praises?
05:21Hey, he's good.
05:22He's talented.
05:24Here we go again.
05:25Ziggler.
05:26Hook of the leg.
05:27Shoulders down in a kick out.
05:28He doesn't always have to pat himself on the back.
05:31Zach Ryder this past Monday night on Raw won the Slammy for Trending Star of the Year.
05:37And then Dolph Ziggler, well, he made off with Ryder's Slammy Award.
05:41Really, Ziggler did deserve it.
05:42He won the Fatal 4-Way matchup Monday.
05:47It wasn't something that you deserved.
05:49It was something that you earned by literally trending worldwide the most.
05:53The Ryder's accomplished nothing this year.
05:56It doesn't matter.
05:56He has trended worldwide.
05:59And speaking of trending worldwide, number one trend in the world right now is WWE TLC.
06:08Here's a guy, Zach Ryder, who was a lifelong WWE fan.
06:12He's living his dream.
06:13What is his way to get to this point?
06:15And then, because he couldn't get it done in the ring, he starts this big social media campaign.
06:20Excuse me, I'm trending.
06:21I'm tweeting, rather.
06:22You realize how big a deal that is to be the number one trend in the world?
06:27I know.
06:27It would happen about the most of anything in the world.
06:29It happens to me every week.
06:32It does.
06:33As Vicky looks on.
06:34But nonetheless, for Zach Ryder, as you see Ziggler going to the cover here, trying to wear Zach Ryder down.
06:40Zach Ryder, he made himself, so to speak.
06:43He started this big social media campaign.
06:46And all these goofs, these lemmings out there in the WWE Universe, they bought into this campaign.
06:50Wait a minute.
06:51And they made Ryder something he isn't.
06:52You're saying the WWE Universe are nothing more than lemmings?
06:55That they just follow someone like Zach Ryder?
06:57He leads them blindly.
06:59Are you crazy?
06:59Exactly.
07:00They watch his Z-True Long Island story on YouTube each and every week.
07:04He's got his Zach Pack and his Broskies of the week.
07:07And that's why he trends worldwide.
07:08The guy is interesting.
07:09He's fun to watch.
07:10He's fun to listen to.
07:11But he hasn't accomplished anything.
07:13He's entertaining.
07:14What is he accomplished?
07:15But like you.
07:17And again, Dalton Ziggler.
07:19Look at that.
07:20Oh, he's sure.
07:20Perfect.
07:21From Ziggler.
07:23Again, looks to put Ryder away.
07:24Hooks the leg this time.
07:25And a kick out by Ryder again.
07:28This is a little boy.
07:30This is Ryder.
07:31This is Zach Ryder.
07:32He's resilient.
07:34He's also a guy who made up this internet championship that doesn't even exist.
07:39He had this foolish tournament between 64 invisible men in the backyard of his mother.
07:45Elder's house on Long Island and crowned himself the internet champion.
07:48Right.
07:48That's fun.
07:49That's goofy.
07:50No, it's not.
07:51Ooh.
07:55Look at this.
07:56Oh, it's a drop kick.
07:57Ryder into the cover.
07:58Ziggler in trouble.
07:59Oh, man.
08:01That goofy guy was almost a new United States champion, Cole.
08:05What would you think of that?
08:06What would you do if Zack Ryder wins the U.S. title?
08:09Well, it's not going to happen.
08:10Maybe I'll go on his silly YouTube show or something.
08:13Who knows?
08:13What would Vicky Guerrero do?
08:15Oh, my look.
08:15Can you imagine?
08:16There's a drop kick.
08:16Vicky Guerrero has a gasket.
08:21There is no denying, however, how he has really drawn the WWE community together.
08:28Now, they're out of their seat here tonight for this matchup.
08:31Almost all of them in the corner of Ryder who begins to build some momentum.
08:35And here comes the 6'1", 214 pounder from Long Island.
08:42Ziggler face first.
08:43Oh, Ziggler telegraphed that and Zack Ryder took advantage.
08:47Look at Zack.
08:47I like that look on his face right now.
08:51Uh-oh.
08:51Uh-oh.
08:52What?
08:53No.
08:53Ziggler's in trouble in the corner.
08:55Did you get a little nervous?
08:56Zack Ryder.
09:01Looking for the Broski boony pass.
09:03Oh, no.
09:05Oh, no.
09:06Ziggler's in trouble now.
09:07He cannot do this.
09:08He cannot do this.
09:09And Ziggler got his foot on the bottom rope.
09:12She cannot do that.
09:13What did she do?
09:14Gregory had to see her put on Ziggler's foot on the bottom rope.
09:18Look at this.
09:18Yes.
09:24Vicky Guerrero.
09:25You are out of here, baby.
09:27Zack Packin.
09:31Zack Ryder, believe me, won the United States Championship.
09:34Vicky Guerrero not involved now.
09:36She's going to have to watch the rest of this matchup.
09:38Back in the right, man.
09:39Vicky Guerrero has been ejected.
09:45And Dolph Ziggler is now dejected.
09:47Uh-oh.
09:48Oh, here we go.
09:49Ryder looking to steal one here.
09:50Two count.
09:51And Ziggler rolling through.
09:52He's got the ropes.
09:53And Ryder still kicks out again.
09:55And now, Dolph Ziggler wisely looking to regroup.
09:58Is there no level that Dolph Ziggler will not stoop to to retain that title?
10:03Well, that's why he's the champion.
10:04Because it moves like that.
10:06Oh, he missed.
10:07Went for the zigzag.
10:08Ryder rolls him up.
10:08They have him here.
10:09Two count of kick out by Ziggler.
10:11Just surviving.
10:11And again, Ziggler back on the attack.
10:13This time, Ziggler attacks.
10:15And it's all over for Zach Ryder.
10:18Dolph Ziggler puts it in to the Ryder.
10:20Oh, no.
10:25Zach Ryder is still in this thing.
10:27Did you see the look on the face of Dolph Ziggler?
10:30I would love to see the look on Mickey Guerrero's face back in the locker room right now.
10:34This is a great match.
10:36What a way to kick off TLC.
10:37Cannot believe that Zach Ryder was able to kick out.
10:44Watch your bag.
10:45Dolph Ziggler went to the sleeper hold.
10:47And Zach Ryder ran right into it.
10:50And again, Ziggler looking to take Ryder out.
10:53Puts the leg this time.
10:54And again, Ryder with some fight left.
10:57Oh, what is it going to take?
10:59What does Zach Ryder have to do to make a believer out of you?
11:02This kid is good.
11:06I've got to admit, great drop kick here.
11:08Wow.
11:09By Dolph Ziggler.
11:10But, hey, that would have beat an ordinary man.
11:12But not Zach Ryder.
11:14Yeah, but Dolph Ziggler has got to be patient here.
11:16He's continuing to wear Ryder down.
11:21So Dolph Ziggler's got to be patient?
11:23I don't know if that word's in his vocabulary.
11:25They cannot allow frustration to come into play here.
11:28Oh, boy.
11:28Yeah, Zach Ryder.
11:29Big time move for Ryder.
11:31Let's go.
11:32Thank you, Zach.
11:33Well, look at Zach here.
11:35Ryder.
11:36Caught you, Ryder.
11:38Cover for the United States Championship.
11:41There he goes.
11:44Is that a three count?
11:47Two and a half.
11:48Ziggler kicks out.
11:49Two and a half.
11:53Ryder thought he had him.
11:54Thought he won the United States Championship.
11:57Come on.
11:57Throw a temper tantrum, you little jerk.
11:59Come on, Ryder.
12:00He's not throwing a temper tantrum.
12:02This is patient.
12:03He's waiting.
12:04He's sitting up.
12:05He's got the L.I.
12:06Going for the rump, Ryder.
12:08And Ziggler with a great counter.
12:09And now Dolph Ziggler looking to put Ryder away.
12:12But the tightest control.
12:13And a kick out again at two.
12:15Ryder trying to win his first major singles championship here in WWE.
12:20Dolph Ziggler just trying to survive.
12:23He's used every cheap shot.
12:25He's thrown every underhanded trick in the book.
12:29That's Zach Ryder.
12:30I doubt that.
12:30Dolph Ziggler is doing what he can here.
12:33And up on that home, Ryder with a double knee.
12:36A double knee for Ryder.
12:38Ziggler's in trouble.
12:39Zach Ryder.
12:39Ruff Ryder.
12:40Oh, no.
12:41Come on, Dolph.
12:42Come on, Dolph.
12:43Come on, Dolph.
12:44You got it.
12:47You got it.
12:52You got it.
12:53You got it.
12:54You got it.
12:56You got it.
12:56You got it.
12:57You got it.
12:57Zach Ryder.
12:59Oh, my God.
13:00Oh, baby.
13:02Look at this.
13:04It's pandemonium.
13:08The roof just came off this arena.
13:11Look at these.
13:11Look at the WWE Universe now, Cole.
13:13Oh, come on.
13:15Smile.
13:16Look at this.

13:24Check it out, Cole.
13:25That's Zach's dad right there.
13:29What a celebration.
13:31What a well-earned victory.
13:35Yes.
13:45Well, you know, Michael, this is the time of year for miracles.
13:49Do you think we just witnessed one?
13:53Oh, come on, Cole.

14:12It's a new U.S. champion.

14:16Come on, Cole.
14:16Help me here.
14:17Look at this.

14:24What do you want me to say?
14:26Oh, that right there.
14:27Call it.
14:27It was a rough ride.
14:29Zach Ryder is the new United States champion.
14:32You call it a Christmas miracle?
14:34I call it a fluke.
14:40Whoa!
14:42There you go.
14:43The U.S. broski.
14:47Take this out one more time.
14:49At the count of three.
14:51With Zach Ryder one there.
14:53Zach's father.
14:54Sitting right here in ringside.
14:55Is that a happy man or what?
15:01So, you excited?
15:03Oh, yeah.
