02:02Hunter Hurst Helmsley
02:04Hunter Hurst Helmsley
02:06Born with a silver spoon in his mouth

02:10I don't believe so
02:12Mankind

02:25To see who would become
02:26This is going to be
02:27This is going to be
02:28An extraordinary matchup
02:29Mankind
02:30Against Hunter Hurst Helmsley
02:32Hunter Hurst Helmsley
02:34Born with a silver spoon in his mouth
02:36Has Helmsley ever tried to find the WWF?
02:38I don't believe so
02:40Mankind
02:41Born with a dream that turned into a nightmare
02:43I never had the chance to show the world
02:45That I could love and could be loved
02:48One month ago
02:49These two contrasting backgrounds would meet
02:51To see who would become
02:52The 1997 King of the Ring
02:54The man to the floor
03:07The man to the floor
03:08It'll be all over
03:09China just pulled it straight out
03:14China just shattered
03:20And steel scepter
03:22On the back of the head
03:23Of mankind
03:25Helmsley sets him up
03:26With a permanent ring
03:27Ladies and gentlemen
03:29The 1997 King of the Ring
03:31Hunter Hurst Helmsley
03:33There he goes
03:34No!
03:35Has Helmsley lost his mind?
03:37This ring is now my house
03:41I'd like admission to your house of pain
03:44And when I get there
03:46I want a rematch
03:47I think you should come down here
03:50In the ring right now
03:52And kid
03:54And kid
03:55My
03:56Well
03:57It's your lucky day
04:00Because I'm a good kisser
04:02And Helmsley attacking mankind
04:05As the deranged one come to the ring
04:07Just exactly like last night
04:10All right ladies and gentlemen
04:15And the match is on
04:17Here he comes
04:18Here he comes
04:21Seven pounds
04:23Moon pounds
04:24Moon pounds
04:25And
04:26Mankind being greeted
04:27To cheers
04:28And here comes mankind
04:29Mankind and Helmsley
04:30Mankind being greeted to cheers, and here comes Mankind, Mankind and Helmsley, colliding,
04:44and look at this, they're picking up right where they left off, Mankind and Helmsley.
04:49This match is going to be a very intense one, no doubt about it, big time environment for
04:54Mankind and Helmsley.
04:55Listen to these people, McMahon, they love Mankind.
05:01Mankind, a master of mayhem, and Mankind has come to Calgary, Alberta to seek his revenge
05:08on the 1997 King of the Ring.
05:11I think so many of these Canadians, they love him because they can relate to him.
05:16Most of them look like him, most of the women at least.
05:19What?
05:20Double arm DDT by Mankind, who's now insulting Helmsley with a little curtsy.
05:27That's a mistake.
05:30Mankind with the upper hand here.
05:34Has the match begun?
05:35Back body drop a tip?
05:36No!
05:36And driving the knee right into the kisser of Mankind, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, getting credit
05:42for great athleticism, and look out here!
05:44Run out!
05:48Helmsley elevated by Mankind over the top rope, all the way to the floor.
05:52And right out, it might add, in front of the whole Hart family.
05:55The Hart family, ladies and gentlemen, has joined us in mass!
05:58Bang, bang, from his Cactus Jack days, Mankind, with a high-risk move, coming off the apron,
06:08dropping the elbow right into the sternum of the aristocratic Hunter Hearst Helmsley from
06:13Greenwich, Connecticut.
06:15Mankind, with a cover, put counts, and almost a count of three.
06:19And look at the delts on China.
06:26The what?
06:27The deltoids.
06:28Oh.
06:30Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
06:32Oh, look out!
06:34And again, Helmsley out, right in front of the Hart family.
06:40Oh, no, no, no, no.
06:42Mankind doesn't care about himself, and Helmsley is getting out of Dodge.
06:46Helmsley trying to move out of Hart's way,
06:48because Mankind doesn't give a darn about his own well-being.
06:52He's not walking out on this match, is he?
06:55No way, man, man, don't worry about it.
06:57Look out!
06:58Mankind!
06:58Yeah!
07:01Mankind looking for respect, looking for the adulation of the fans,
07:06his long, arduous, painful journey to the WWF,
07:10beginning to pay benefits.
07:13No way!
07:14Yes!
07:15And on the steel rack!
07:18And Mankind, when you are outside the ring,
07:26you are in Mankind territory.
07:29And Mankind rocking back and forth,
07:32awaiting Helmsley to return,
07:34awaiting to place that mandible claw
07:36solidly down into Helmsley's gullet.
07:38And I can tell you from experience,
07:41that is not something that you want to have happen to you.
07:44Mankind, no doubt, the Prime Minister of Parts Unknown,
07:47and Parts Unknown is outside the squared circle.
07:50That nasty mandible claw, I'll give you a throat infection,
07:53McMahon!
07:53I can vouch for that!
07:54Hunter Hearst, Helmsley!
07:59Hunter Hearst, Helmsley!
08:00Now Tiffany, go!
08:01Oh, no!
08:03Mankind starting this match off so aggressively,
08:05so physical,
08:07Mankind felt that he was embarrassed in the King of the Ring.
08:10He got a taste of his own medicine,
08:12and he didn't digest it too well.
08:14Hunter, stop for the peace!
08:15Hunter Hearst, Helmsley,
08:17trying to get back to his feet.
08:18Back up now, on the apron, the shoulder block, Helmsley.
08:23What can he do?
08:23How about that maneuver?
08:25Uh-oh.
08:26And wait a minute.
08:26Watch out for the floor!
08:27Yes, there it is!
08:29It's over!
08:34Right over the referee's head.
08:36Chyna with a right hand that would knock any man right on his keister.
08:42No doubt that Mankind had the match won just moments ago.
08:46If it had not been for Chyna,
08:48the 200-pound bodyguard of Hunter Hearst Helms' appearance.
08:51Wait a minute.
08:52Here comes Mankind.
08:54I think he's had enough of this.
08:55Look at this!
08:57She's saying, come on, let's get it on!
09:00Oh, God!
09:06This is Foley's baby boy was ready for Helmsley on that one.
09:12Indeed he was.
09:13And again, right out there in front of the Hart family.
09:16Look at him!
09:17Oh, my God!
09:18I've never seen anything like that in my life.
09:21Mankind was power slammed into the steps,
09:24and his left calf hit the corner of the steps.
09:27And I'm not so sure that his leg isn't broken.
09:29It may be, McMahon.
09:30I don't know if we'll get another look at that,
09:31but you'll see his calf hit the corner of the ring.
09:35Look at this!
09:35The referee's not watching.
09:37Now, Mamsley!
09:39Mamsley with a chair, and he just nailed Mankind right in the leg.
09:44Boy, what a night it's going to be if this is any indication
09:47of the hellfire in Brimstone that's being delivered here
09:50in the early going of this pay-per-view event.
09:53And Mankind.
09:54I can't believe that he's actually back up on his feet.
09:57Mankind.
09:58A man who, well, we certainly know he feels pain.
10:02He made that very evident in recent interviews with JR.
10:05But he loves it!
10:05He loves it!
10:06No, he doesn't.
10:06He's deranged!
10:07Oh, look at him!
10:10A football-like chalk block right on the knee ligament
10:12by Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
10:14Helmsley, very cerebral, very intelligent competitor.
10:17We'll focus now on Mankind's leg stomping away.
10:21All right, let's go back and take a look now.
10:24All right, watch this now.
10:25Watch his leg!
10:25Watch his leg!
10:26And then after that, the chair.
10:32And somehow Mankind is still in this match.
10:36Tell me how no normal human being could possibly be in this match, JR.
10:40You just answered your own question.
10:42He is no normal human being.
10:47And Helmsley, ever the opportunist,
10:50will certainly capitalize now on the injury of Mankind.
10:53We saw Helmsley focus on Mankind's neck at the King of the Ring.
10:58Now it's the leg.
11:00Helmsley, a very astute, a very intelligent athlete.
11:03Oh, man!
11:06Beautiful shot!
11:07Helmsley driving his elbow right in the point of insertion at the knee.
11:11And it's maybe just a matter of time before Mankind will not be able to stand.
11:15And at that juncture, the official, who has already allowed a great deal of latitude in this match,
11:22would just have to stop him.
11:26I'm proud of Hunter Hurst Helmsley right now.
11:28I'd love to see Kings doing well.
11:31Hunter Hurst Helmsley fumbling almost at will on Mankind.
11:35And again, the official trying to get Helmsley to back out of the corner.
11:40Mankind shaking his leg, trying to get the feeling back in,
11:42to get the blood flowing again.
11:44It's got to be throbbing and aching like an exposed wound.
11:46He's up on his feet!
11:47No, he's not for long.
11:49Mankind let his leg buckle.
11:51His left knee buckled on it.
11:53Well, he ought to quit!
11:54Tell the referee you give up!
11:55Mankind again continuing to feel the effect of Hunter Hurst Helmsley.
12:00That hyperextended his knee, McMahon.
12:01Hellsley with a dropkick right on his shin.
12:10All Mankind ever wanted throughout his entire life was a bit of respect and perhaps a bit of love.
12:17He never got any of it.
12:18Figure four, this is it!
12:24And all his professional life, Mankind has wanted the same things.
12:28He wanted to be respected by his peers, respected by WWF fans, and perhaps aspire to a bit of admiration from them.
12:37And he's starting to achieve those very goals, J.R.
12:40Well, he certainly has a kind of the king of hardcore, whatever that means, and Mankind is being punished here.
12:46The figure four leg lock, one of the most punishing, one of the most devastating maneuvers, putting pressure on seven points of the lower anatomy.
12:55And again, even more pressure applied by Hunter Hurst Helmsley.
12:59Come on, ref, you saw that one.
13:03He needs more than a warning.
13:05Break the hold.
13:10And the official...
13:11It's all right.
13:13That comes...
13:14Well, that's one way to break it up.
13:16Hey, that's not fair!
13:17That will break the hold!
13:18Mankind...
13:19Finally breaking the hold.
13:24Can he support his own weight?
13:26Mankind in the corner now.
13:28The right hand done in a lower abdominal area.
13:30Mankind back up.
13:32Mankind trying to turn this match around.
13:35Does he have what it takes?
13:36Does Mankind drive that leg?
13:37Look, he hurt his own knee there.
13:39Hurt his own leg.
13:40Yes.
13:41Oh, and a reversal.
13:43Oh, no.
13:43Oh.
13:44And here we go!
13:45Pedigree.
13:46Pedigree coming!
13:47This is what did Mankind in the middle!
13:51And a kick!
13:52Oh!
13:55Oh!
13:56Oh, no!
14:00Mankind...
14:01I'm gonna tell you shit, that was offense or defense?
14:03It was an inadvertent low blow.
14:06China's not happy about that.
14:13I don't think China's happy about anything at this juncture.
14:17Mankind on his feet, so it's Hemsley.
14:19Oh!
14:19Right hand right squarely on the brawlscus.
14:24Look at this.
14:25Mankind now.
14:26Pierre Cressor.
14:30Mankind!
14:31Here we come!
14:32Look out!
14:34Mankind nearly 300 pounds, 287 to be exact, and that's an estimate.
14:40Really as much of a head esteem as he could gather there.
14:43Mankind stalking Hunter Hearst, Hemsley.
14:50And Hemsley, uh-oh, upside down and in trouble.
14:54He'll get no sympathy for Hemsley.
14:57Right on his face!
15:00Hemsley may be out.
15:03And the official assisting Mr. Hemsley as he falls back into the middle of the ring.
15:08Mankind, for the boot, here we go.
15:15All right!
15:16Fuck the plow driver, that's a page out of Jerry the Key Lawler's playbook.
15:22And he got him good, too!
15:23Here it is, Kenny defeating two and four!
15:27Got him!
15:27No, no, no, no!
15:30Never underestimated the toughness, the physical and mental toughness of this blue blood, Hunter Hearst Hemsley.
15:37He's a king!
15:39Yes, he's the king of the ring, all right.
15:41Watch out!
15:46Mankind measuring Hemsley.
15:47Here it goes, look out!
15:54Looks like two cars colliding, and people being ejected from the front seats.
15:59And Mankind, uh-oh.
16:01Mankind has a chair, that's not good.
16:03Oh, God.
16:04That's not good.
16:05Look out, Hunter!
16:06Look out, Hunter!
16:07China has a chair!
16:10Look out!
16:11Oh!
16:12Oh!
16:17And the official stopping.
16:18Oh, no!
16:20Wow!
16:21What a toes line by the bodyguard of Hunter Hearst Hemsley!
16:25Unbelievable!
16:26You can hear the thud of Mankind's physique bouncing off the floor after China leveled him.
16:34Wow!
16:35Mankind getting it from both ends.
16:37Mankind in trouble again.
16:38Hunter Hearst Hemsley attempting to capitalize now.
16:39You've got to finish him right here!
16:40Iris Benubra!
16:41No, no, no!
16:42Anna!
16:43Here we go!
16:44Here comes the Mandible Claw!
16:45Yes, it is!
16:46It's Mandible Claw!
16:47China!
16:48China!
16:49China!
16:50Oh!
