00:00
Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for one of the most intense
00:06
Robber Knockers we may ever witness?
00:10
And this all started when Mr. McMahon brought in the NWO.
00:17
I'm going to inject the WWF with a lethal dose of poison.
00:23
These three human beings have robbed Austin of his dream.
00:27
With a lethal dose of poison.
00:30
The poison of the NWO is running through the veins of the Texas Rattlesnake.
00:36
You want to play with Stone Cold Steve Austin?
00:41
Hey, he's got him.
00:44
You come into World Wrestling Federation looking to make a name for yourself on Stone Cold?
00:48
Ruin my title shot?
00:49
You're gonna learn that you do not mess with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:55
Nobody embarrasses Scott Hall.
01:00
Nobody humiliates Scott Hall.
01:06
Austin 316 said, I just branded your ass.
01:11
Stone Cold Steve Austin, I want you to feel humiliated.
01:19
I want you to be embarrassed.
01:22
Oh no, with a Stunner.
01:23
Oh, with a Stunner on Austin.
01:26
This is what I want.
01:28
Scott Hall, Steve Austin, one-on-one at WrestleMania.
01:34
He'll put his little head right there.
01:37
Turn it so slightly.
01:39
Wham, drop him.
01:41
Stone Cold Stunner.
01:43
Put some stink on it.
01:45
One, two, three.
01:47
That's the first member of the NWO.
01:49
Scott Hall, he's going down.
01:51
I hear from you that you're the toughest S.O.B. in the WWF.
02:03
Prove it.
02:05
Here comes the Texas Rattlesnake.
02:21
And I guarantee you, he's here to fight.
02:24
I know you're right.
02:27
Welcome to SmackDown for one fall.
02:30
Introducing first, from Victoria, Texas, weighing 252 pounds, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
02:44
Stone Cold Steve Austin, brought to his opportunity to once again become the
02:50
World Wrestling Federation Champion by the NWO, specifically Scott Hall.
02:58
Well, that NWO poison was injected into the WWF by Vince McMahon.
03:05
You'll see tonight if the Rattlesnake venom is stronger than the NWO poison.
03:11
Stone Cold has lost only once at a WrestleMania event.
03:16
He's four and one.
03:17
And perhaps his most impressive performance was in a losing effort
03:22
in the now-famous submission match to the legendary Burt Hart at WrestleMania in 1997.
03:52
And there you see Austin's adversary, Scott Hall.
04:05
Thanks to Mr. McMahon, we have that man in the field.
04:11
I should say thanks to Ric Flair.
04:23
Pointing back towards the entrance for some reason.
04:26
Yeah, well, what, uh-oh.
04:28
Oh, wait a minute.
04:30
What the hell?
04:32
This is not a tag match, is it?
04:34
Representing the NWO, weighing 265 pounds, Scott Hall.
04:42
Nobody would make this a handicap match, did they, JR?
04:45
Not that I've heard.
04:46
I thought this was a one-on-one matchup.
04:50
And why does Scott Hall, if he's as bad as he says he is.
04:54
And folks, don't misunderstand me.
04:58
Hall is damn bad.
05:00
Why does Hall need a seven-foot, 325-pound monster with him?
05:06
Well, I don't think he does.
05:08
He doesn't need him, but probably once again, Mr. McMahon, you know,
05:12
considering the fans, of course, putting them first and what they want to see,
05:16
probably make Kevin Nash an illegal corner man for Scott Hall.
05:22
Well, Nash, certainly a member of the NWO.
05:26
But man, I don't like the looks of this at all.
05:30
But that rattlesnake doesn't like it too much either.
05:32
Look at, look at-
05:34
Not wasting any time here, getting in the face of Scott Hall.
05:40
Stomping away, trying to stomp that proverbial mud hole in Scott Hall
05:44
and walk it dry here in the early going of this very emotional contest.
05:48
Scott Hall, a proud member of the NWO.
05:54
Hard shot here by Austin.
05:58
Scott Hall standing in that corner.
06:00
I don't like the fact that Kevin Nash is here at ringside whatsoever.
06:05
There's no reason-
06:07
Boy, look at Scott Hall go now, JR.
06:09
Scott Hall's a great athlete.
06:12
Nobody can take that away from him.
06:14
There's a new fan's press.
06:16
And Austin with the right hands on Scott Hall.
06:20
It's so cold starting this match before the bell even rung.
06:22
Scott Hall hasn't even had time to get out of his-
06:24
What do you want him to do?
06:26
What do you want him to do?
06:28
What do I want who to do?
06:29
Austin.
06:30
Just wait around and get beat up.
06:32
He's waiting for the bell to ring.
06:35
What is that?
06:37
Austin trying to scramble Scott Hall's brains in that top turnbuckle.
06:42
This is referee Tim White at Austin.
06:44
White's number one in Austin's book.
06:47
Oh, Austin.
06:48
Oh, Austin sent.
06:49
And Hall making a U-turn.
06:51
Why don't you just tell the ladies,
06:53
you've done it.
06:54
It's time for Austin to do no wrong in your eyes.
06:57
I mean, he's like a modern-day John Wayne.
06:59
Look at that.
07:00
Oh, Austin.
07:02
There's no call for that.
07:03
None whatsoever.
07:04
Austin, yeah, he will.
07:05
He can't do wrong.
07:06
He has.
07:07
He will again.
07:09
And he's imposing a little sweat right now on Scott Hall.
07:12
Austin got the first shot in on Kevin Nash.
07:15
Just letting Nash know that Austin is well aware
07:18
that the seven-footer is here.
07:20
Well, now if Kevin Nash does something,
07:21
I mean, can you blame him?
07:23
He's been provoked.
07:24
Oh, listen to that kick.
07:27
Smart knockdown by Hall, taking Austin down.
07:30
There's a lateral press.
07:31
Referee Tim White got a two-count out of it.
07:34
Kevin Nash, a T person there.
07:35
He's reaching in his mouth.
07:38
Oh, hard kick right to the back.
07:44
Look at Kevin Nash now.
07:45
He's making sure those turnbuckles are tightened up there.
07:49
Oh, wait a damn minute.
07:50
Nash is taking that top turnbuckle pad off,
07:53
exposing those steel bolts.
07:56
And Nash teeing off on Stone Cold.
07:59
He knows how tough that rattle is taking him.
08:01
Scott Hall as well.
08:02
He wants his dad to show the world how tough they are.
08:05
Stone Cold.
08:06
He knows sissy too well, fellas.
08:08
He needs it.
08:10
A terrible texture to the spine first,
08:13
into the exposed turnbuckle.
08:17
Nash took the damn thing off and threw it on the floor.
08:20
Let it go, Hall.
08:21
Let it go.
08:22
One, two, three.
08:23
I thought he was just suggesting it,
08:25
trying to tie it back.
08:29
Look at this.
08:30
And Nash with a hard right hand.
08:33
Hall's got the referee distracted with a second right hand.
08:37
Those are just what we call receipts, JR.
08:39
You know the rattlesnake hit Kevin Nash first.
08:42
It was weak.
08:43
That's wrestling.
08:45
You wouldn't know that much about it if you're a wrestler.
08:48
Somebody hits you, you give them a receipt.
08:50
You can hit them back.
08:51
Come on.
08:52
He's like a handicap.
08:56
He's tough enough one-on-one.
08:59
You add that damn Nash into the mix,
09:01
and that's more than anybody can overcome.
09:04
I realize that, but I think once again,
09:06
like I said, maybe this is what Mr. McMahon
09:08
thought the fans want to see.
09:10
Right.
09:12
See?
09:13
I knew I was right all along.
09:15
Hey, there's only one thing in the whole world
09:17
that would please Mr. McMahon more than Ric Flair
09:20
getting destroyed and beaten to a bloody pulp as he was,
09:23
and that's for Stone Cold to get his ass beat at WrestleMania.
09:26
And a fall away slam by Scott Hall.
09:29
Well, Mr. McMahon's-
09:30
And a press here, and Austin fighting his way out of it.
09:33
Mr. McMahon's already halfway to having a happy night, isn't he?
09:37
All he needs is this-
09:38
Thank God that's what I was hoping when I got up this morning,
09:40
that Mr. McMahon would have such a happy day.
09:44
Oh!
09:45
Ryan's back.
09:46
Almost be heading off.
09:48
There's a cover!
09:49
Austin again somehow fighting off his back.
09:52
Kicking out of that pinning predicament.
09:55
But how much longer can even Stone Cold Steve Austin endure?
10:00
Hey!
10:01
Get him off, get him off, get him off!
10:02
Harvey Lee, at least in the eyes of many,
10:04
the greatest WWE champion of all time.
10:07
But this is not about titles!
10:09
And there's another damn cheap shot!
10:11
Right in the tipple.
10:13
And that is an awesome, monstrous human being
10:17
punching away at Austin.
10:21
That's a nice man for his hand.
10:23
He broke it.
10:24
He need to go run over there and check on that,
10:26
because I know he got hurt.
10:32
All stomping away.
10:36
And I mean stomping away at the ribs, the sternum.
10:41
Making a little quiver, and by God, how much more!
10:45
I mean, I don't understand this.
10:49
You don't understand it?
10:50
Let me ask you this question.
10:51
Do you think Austin might be sorry now that he provoked
10:53
Kevin Nash early in this match?
10:55
Hit him in the back, from behind?
10:57
How can you even think he provoked him?
10:59
That's ridiculous.
11:00
And Austin will explain why.
11:02
Austin bought himself some time.
11:06
And referee Tim White.
11:08
Gotta have eyes on the back of his head,
11:10
and unfortunately he doesn't.
11:12
Look at that Kevin Nash.
11:13
He looks in fantastic shape, doesn't he?
11:15
He's in great shape, but he's evil.
11:19
He is not a man of high character.
11:21
By his actions here tonight,
11:23
and Scott Hall now teeing off on Stone Cold Steve Austin.
11:27
Nash is not in this match.
11:30
I know he's tall.
11:32
I know he's big.
11:33
I know he's strong.
11:34
I know he's bad.
11:38
Scott Hall, now really getting confident.
11:41
Listen to this.
11:45
Here comes the big one.
11:48
Stunner!
11:49
Austin got the stunner!
11:51
But can he follow up?
11:53
Austin got the stunner!
11:54
Look at Kevin Nash.
11:55
He's got the 3-inch.
11:57
Wait a minute.
11:59
Damn it!
12:01
How in the hell can anyone condone Nash?
12:03
The referee's middle.
12:05
It comes debilitating.
12:07
And Nash is beating the hell out of Austin.
12:10
It is a handicap match.
12:11
That might have been uncalled for.
12:14
Might have been.
12:16
Might have been.
12:17
This ain't no season for Mike.
12:18
Now what?
12:21
What does Scott Hall have?
12:22
This is damn sure not right.
12:23
It was not signed to be a handicap match.
12:26
And now they got a-
12:28
Hall's got a steel chair.
12:30
Nash has got the full Nelson on a helpless Stone Cold.
12:33
They're about to go from bad to worse for the Rattlesnake.
12:37
The low blow!
12:38
Look at this!
12:39
Another stunner!
12:40
A stunner on Nash!
12:42
A stunner on-
12:43
Call it!
12:44
Call it Nash!
12:46
It doesn't matter.
12:47
It's Hall and W.O.
12:48
And they both got a stunner.
12:51
Austin's got the cover.
12:53
Oh, damn.
12:54
There's no rim.
12:55
He's still trying to win this thing.
12:56
There's no rim with Austin.
12:57
He's got more than three.
12:59
Referee Tim Martin's out.
13:01
There's another referee.
13:02
Referee Jack Doan!
13:04
Marty Little Jack Doan!
13:07
There's still no referee.
13:09
That 325 pounder.
13:12
My God, what an attack by Austin.
13:15
And now Hall.
13:16
Uh-oh.
13:17
They're ready to go.
13:19
Hall elevated.
13:21
Austin elevated first Nash and then Hall over the top rope.
13:26
But two referees are down.
13:28
And so is the N.W.O.
13:30
The Rattlesnake.
13:31
He's almost-
13:32
He's almost up.
13:34
Man, this is some serious, serious carnage.
13:38
This is a handy-
13:40
There's a-
13:41
A handy cannon, that's wrong.
13:43
Practical intensive purposes.
13:45
And it wasn't meant to be.
13:47
Oh, look at the Rattlesnake.
13:48
Just like-
13:49
Just like-
13:50
Look at-
13:51
Look at the troops.
13:52
Oh, my God.
13:54
The referees are approaching Captain Nash.
14:02
I think Mr. Nash is being asked to return to his locker room.
14:07
Well, I don't think it matters much now.
14:10
The damage has been done.
14:11
I think Nash has gotten his second technical foul.
14:14
And it's going to the showers.
14:16
That's a Rattlesnake.
14:17
Where's he going?
14:20
Austin.
14:21
Matt, Scott Hall, he's right behind you.
14:24
Austin turning Hall around.
14:25
And they smack him in the face.
14:29
Time and time again.
14:30
Austin with the right hands.
14:32
As Kevin Nash is being escorted away from the ringside area.
14:36
Do we have an official left out here?
14:38
Who is the referee here?
14:45
There is the stunner.
14:46
There he is.
14:47
Come on.
14:48
Oh, Dezel finishing the move.
14:50
Oh, my God.
14:51
Wait, wait, there's a referee.
14:53
Referee Tim White.
14:55
Tim White.
14:56
This is going to make Mr. McMahon mighty happy now.
14:58
Three.
14:59
And that's a kick out.
15:00
What?
15:02
The heart of that Texas Rattlesnake is still beating strongly.
15:07
Hall wanted to beat Austin with Austin's own maneuver.
15:10
The Stone Cold Stunner.
15:12
Here we go.
15:13
Hall going for the stunner.
15:15
In and out.
15:16
He did it.
15:17
He got it.
15:18
On to the stunner.
15:19
To Austin.
15:20
Oh, what a stunner.
15:21
A WrestleMania stunner.
15:23
Texas Stunner.
15:25
It's over.
15:26
Stone Cold has beaten Scott Hall.
15:31
Stone Cold has beaten Austin.
15:37
Stone Cold reached him down.
15:40
For the heart of the Texas Rattlesnake.
15:43
It looked like it was going to be a handicap match.
15:50
But Stone Cold prevails here at WrestleMania 18.
15:59
Look at the Rattlesnake.
16:01
Now comes the victory celebration.
16:05
And now Austin saluting, toasting these fans here in Toronto.
16:17
Man, what a war.
16:20
It looked like the NWO had the game plan they were looking for.
16:27
For the longest time, it was a two-on-one advantage for Hall and Nash.
16:35
But all those referees come out here and force Kevin Nash to the back.
16:39
You think that was fair?
16:41
You're damn right.
16:43
I'll tell you what.
16:45
You can celebrate now, drink all the beer you want to,
16:47
but I would not want to be Stone Cold Steve Austin
16:50
because in my book, he is a marked man now.
16:56
He's been a marked man before.
17:02
Stone Cold Steve Austin.
17:06
Stone Cold drinking some Canadian Molson beer.
17:15
Man, that was awesome.
17:18
Go ahead and say it, that was a slobber knocker.
17:20
It damn sure was a slobber knocker, I'll tell you that.
17:23
And I think you're right though.
17:24
The NWO are not going to forget this night here at WrestleMania.
17:29
They were brought back for the NWO by Mr. McMahon.
17:32
They roared into WrestleMania with all the momentum in the world
17:36
and Stone Cold prevailing here in what almost was a handicap.
17:42
Hang on, JR, you're forgetting one big important fact.
17:46
This night is not over.
17:49
Folks, we've been here all week.
17:51
The fans have been here from around the world
17:52
enjoying WrestleMania.
