00:00:00We'll be back.
00:00:30To the stars and not enough sky
00:00:32What has high the dawn in your eyes?
00:01:00You're looking at the most fun-loving
00:01:20The most enthusiastic
00:01:22The most boisterous fans in the world
00:01:24No, it's not the Super Bowl
00:01:26It's not the World Series
00:01:28This is Monday Night Raw
00:01:31We are sold out in Atlantic City
00:01:42And this upcoming interview
00:01:47Should answer a lot of questions
00:01:49Ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome
00:01:51One of the all-time World Wrestling Federation
00:01:55Ravishing Rick Rude
00:01:59Ravishing Rick Rude
00:02:00Ravishing Rick Rude on its way to the ring
00:02:14The Rav and Jerry King
00:02:17Rude here at Rigs 5
00:02:18Vince McMahon in the ring
00:02:20And Ravishing Rick Rude
00:02:22Ravishing Rick Rude
00:02:23The World
00:02:24That's Monday Night on Raw
00:02:26What the hell is that?
00:02:32What I'd like to have right now is for
00:02:44all you fat, out of shape, Atlantic City Sweathogs.
00:02:51There's two of them right there.
00:02:56Open your lips, open your eyes, and
00:03:00pay attention to what a real man has to say.
00:03:04Well, Mr. Rude,
00:03:09I wonder if we can take you back to last week, if you don't mind.
00:03:12Seems to me the more things change, the more they stay the same to a certain extent.
00:03:17We saw you last week, however, in somewhat of a different capacity here in
00:03:21the World Wrestling Federation.
00:03:22It was as if you were acting as an insurance policy or something of that sort.
00:03:28Would you, would you care to elaborate?
00:03:30What I am, McMahon, is an insurance salesman.
00:03:36Whether it be short term, long term, life, disability, or accidental.
00:03:45You supply the buck, I supply the bang.
00:03:52Well, you certainly supplied the bang last week as relates to mankind.
00:03:57And I, I wonder if you'd care to, to let us in on who your benefactor is or was.
00:04:03Just who paid that premium last week?
00:04:05Was it Shawn Michaels?
00:04:07Was it Hunter Hearst Helmsley?
00:04:08Who paid the premium?
00:04:10That's something you don't need to know, McMahon.
00:04:12Let's just say, I was paid a handsome sum to get a job done.
00:04:17Because I am the Guardian Shield.
00:04:20You supply the money, Rick Rude supplies the muscle.
00:04:25You know, McMahon, you can never have enough insurance.
00:04:29As a matter of fact, it looks like you might need a little more yourself.
00:04:33Well, that might be true, but I wonder if some other WWF superstar might be in
00:04:41need of some insurance tonight.
00:04:43Let's just put it this way.
00:04:46Like a good neighbor, Rick Rude's always there.
00:04:51I say, Mr. Rude, surely you would be here for
00:04:55someone else who could use your services than here tonight, am I correct?
00:05:00What I'm trying to tell you is that if you're wise, you'll look to own a piece of
00:05:04the Rude.
00:05:07If you wanna be in good hands, get Rude, it pays.
00:05:14I can imagine it does.
00:05:16But let's face it, what we're talking about here is one of the oldest rackets in
00:05:20the world, right?
00:05:21We're talking about the protection racket, right?
00:05:25Protection?
00:05:27Get it through your thick skull, McMahon.
00:05:30What I'm trying to tell you is to get the premium, you've got to pay the premium.
00:05:37And once that premium's been paid in full, somebody's in for a rude awakening.
00:05:45Hit the music.
00:05:46Well, I'm not sure we answered all the questions.
00:05:52Ravishing Rick Rude.
00:05:54We thought we would, but certainly, Ravishing Rick Rude is in the building.
00:05:59The team has got to make some folks feel a little bit uncomfortable.
00:06:02Well, I would think that it would make some folks feel very comfortable.
00:06:05He's injured, like he said, and good hands with Rick Rude.
00:06:09Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, we are going to share with you an exclusive interview.
00:06:13You've got to have the opportunity to conduct this morning in Philadelphia for
00:06:17Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:06:19He talks about his injury and his future, but that's not all.
00:06:23You're right, that's not all.
00:06:24There's gonna be a match tonight, he's gonna feature a lot of firsts.
00:06:27For the first time ever, Hunter Hearst Townsley is gonna team with Shawn Michaels.
00:06:34And for the first time ever, Shawn Michaels is gonna be going to get The Undertaker and
00:06:39Hip Worker in time.
00:06:42What a match.
00:06:43That's not all, ladies and gentlemen,
00:06:44a great tag team match and also for the Red Match.
00:06:46Hulk and Animal, the Legion of the League, have a big score at a center for
00:06:49The Hearts Foundation.
00:06:51That is gonna be a tremendous tag team matchup.
00:06:54As a matter of fact, we have some comments from the old heart in the British
00:07:00solo, about the match and his neck.
00:07:03LOD, tonight is just a small preview of what you're gonna get at Ground Zero.
00:07:09As soon as we get in the ring with you tonight, we are gonna destroy you.
00:07:12And then at the Fatal 4-Way LOD, when you get in the ring with The Heart Foundation,
00:07:17it is gonna be fatal.
00:07:18Oh, what a rush.
00:07:20We welcome you back, ladies and gentlemen of RAW.
00:07:25Of course, what you're looking at is the old Atlantic City, the way it used to be.
00:07:30And you're riding in one of those big bands?
00:07:32Could have been.
00:07:34And now we are live, ladies and gentlemen, yes, the new Atlantic City.
00:07:38Watch it, you're getting mugged out there.
00:07:39Oh, stop it.
00:07:40And we're told, however, that Sergeant Slaughter is having a rather heated discussion
00:07:49with Shawn Michaels, and you can bet Shawn Michaels is not happy one bit about being
00:07:55told to wrestle here tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
00:07:58Hopefully, we will get some comments from Shawn Michaels momentarily, but right now.
00:08:03The British Bulldog with the Union Jack in hand, along with the European title,
00:08:11along with his brother-in-law, the slamming award-winning and
00:08:16former Intercontinental Champion, Owen Hart, ladies and gentlemen.
00:08:22They're gonna participate in something known as a Fatal 4-Way, right, JR?
00:08:37No doubt about it on Sunday, September the 7th from Louisville, Kentucky, by the way.
00:08:41That event is absolutely sold out to the Louisville Garden.
00:08:44There'll be four teams in a four-team elimination tag team matchup.
00:08:47There you see them on your screen, L.O.D., The Godwins, The Heart Foundation,
00:08:51and Dude Love, and Stone Cold Team Austin, and it's gonna be a rush.
00:08:55And your opponents from Chicago,
00:09:00Illinois, at a combined weight of 547 pounds,
00:09:04Moon Warrior, Hawk and Road Warrior Animal, The Legion of Doom.
00:09:13What a pay-per-view event it's gonna be, Sunday, September the 7th.
00:09:17From the sold out, Louisville Garden, four teams, one title, and
00:09:22it's gonna be on the line.
00:09:23Look at all these signs, McMahon, where's your sign?
00:09:27Watch into this.
00:09:28Atlantic City, wild about the Road Wires.
00:09:38Let's take you back to last week, ladies and gentlemen.
00:09:41And Road Warrior Hawk not doing all that well during that country ripping match.
00:09:46Look at this.
00:09:48Hawk being hung and then being lashed with that leather strap by Phineas until
00:09:52Animal was able to get in the ring.
00:09:54A lot of bad blood between the Godwins and the Legion of Doom.
00:09:59Hawk wasn't doing so bad, he was just kinda hanging around.
00:10:02Leaders of destruction could very well be, yes.
00:10:06Animal and Hawk, they are American originals.
00:10:08They're locked up with, many say, the finest tag team all-around combination in the history of the WWF.
00:10:14The Bulldog and Owen Hart.
00:10:16I certainly could not disagree with that.
00:10:18The Bulldog, the proud athlete from Manchester, England.
00:10:21Of course, the WWF is gonna be in Birmingham, England at the NEC on Saturday night, September the 20th.
00:10:28But with Owen Hart's speed and technical ability, you don't get any better than the Hart.
00:10:33And when it comes to brute raw power, how about that for Athletics?
00:10:36Look at this, off the rope now, and Animal!
00:10:38Look out!
00:10:39And right down on his forearm, and I'm not surprised if he didn't break his arm.
00:10:44Owen Hart came right down on his forearm.
00:10:47That's that bad arm he had, too.
00:10:48And look out, right into Hawk.
00:10:51Animal winding up and tagging in Hawk as Hawk takes over on Owen Hart.
00:10:58We mentioned that fatal four-way, yet to come, ladies and gentlemen, later on tonight.
00:11:03Look out!
00:11:04Look out, and-
00:11:05No!
00:11:05That could do it.
00:11:08Hellbo, look at this now, and Owen Hart, no.
00:11:11For a moment, it appeared as though he might be in a vulnerable position.
00:11:15Owen ever resilient, to the buckle, and following right in, what a clothesline there.
00:11:19Owen Hart, to the buckle again, and-
00:11:21No!
00:11:22Yeah!
00:11:23Nobody there.
00:11:24Hawk struck the steel post with his shoulder.
00:11:27And look at the Bulldog.
00:11:29And then again, that shoulder ran into the steps.
00:11:33And the Bulldog, ever the opportunist, now with Hawk, shoves him right back in,
00:11:39perhaps ripe for the picking for his brother-in-law, Owen.
00:11:42That fatal four-way, the tag team title's up for grabs for the first time ever in that capacity.
00:11:50And later on, JR is gonna be speaking with no less than Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:11:56I had a chance to talk to Austin this morning in Philadelphia.
00:12:01Certainly, his language is somewhat colorful.
00:12:04We'll warn you of that now.
00:12:05And look at the strength of the Bulldog.
00:12:09Tremendous power by the European champion.
00:12:12And the cover, we get two and a kick out.
00:12:14Well, the Bulldog is pumped up about returning to his mother country in the UK.
00:12:19Saturday night, September the 20th, Birmingham NEC.
00:12:23What a homecoming it's gonna be for Davey Boy Smith, the British Bulldog.
00:12:27Come on.
00:12:29Bulldog tightening his grip a bit on Road Warrior Hawk.
00:12:33Squeeze him.
00:12:34With your pardon?
00:12:36Squeeze that head.
00:12:37Squeeze that head.
00:12:40Sergeant Slaughter, we're told, is quite busy with Shawn Michaels, who apparently is having a temper tantrum in the locker room area.
00:12:48Let me get something straight.
00:12:49Is it Sergeant Slaughter or Commissioner Slaughter?
00:12:51It's Commissioner Slaughter.
00:12:52He's been promoted from Sergeant to Commissioner.
00:12:55It's a big jump.
00:12:57Owen Hart.
00:12:58And the British Bulldog thus far doing a pretty good job now of keeping Hawk away from tagging his partner and animal.
00:13:08Owen Hart from way across the other side of the ring.
00:13:11Wow.
00:13:12And that might be enough.
00:13:13No.
00:13:14We're talking about the Road Warrior's power.
00:13:19You see the power of Hawk and everybody's strength.
00:13:22He's able to survive that lateral press, but now Hawk finds himself in no man's land.
00:13:28Yes.
00:13:29Here we go.
00:13:30And animal being escorted back by the official and again now the double team effort continues.
00:13:36Capacity crowd on hand, ladies and gentlemen, here at the Convention Center, the site of the Miss America pageant.
00:13:43And the only thing that might resemble that, well, I don't know.
00:13:46I am told that Sonny is going to join us.
00:13:49Oh, yeah.
00:13:50But I was saying that something that might resemble that, but it might be Brian Pillman a little bit later on.
00:13:56Mr. Pillman is gonna, look out, double clothesline.
00:13:59Great move there by Hawk, knocking down the Bulldog.
00:14:01LOD wanted us to say a very special out of all their fans in Chicago.
00:14:05The Legion of Doom will be ready to fight when they get to the Rose Vaughn Horizon this Saturday night.
00:14:11Whoa.
00:14:12Whoa.
00:14:13They're ready right now.
00:14:14Animal.
00:14:18And Oh-oh.
00:14:19Oh, fat body drop.
00:14:20And Bulldog gets nailed off the apron.
00:14:23And uh-oh.
00:14:25Trouble right there for Owen Hart.
00:14:28Into a cover and Bulldog over to make sure there was no one, two, three risking disqualification.
00:14:35Spinning heel kick my own heart.
00:14:38Out quick, out quickening animal.
00:14:41More technique.
00:14:42And here come the God Ones.
00:14:43What?
00:14:44What?
00:14:45Henry and Phineas are coming.
00:14:47One, two in.
00:14:50Bulldog again to make sure there was no one, two, three.
00:14:53But now, we've got four individuals.
00:14:55Well, actually, look at this.
00:14:56The Godwins are in there.
00:14:57Wait a minute.
00:14:58No!
00:14:59My God, did you hear that?
00:15:01Did you hear the crack?
00:15:02God would have knocked out a horse.
00:15:05Henry Godwin behind the official's back and look what they're doing now.
00:15:12A lot of bad blood between the Godwins and LOD, no doubt about that.
00:15:19However, they're gonna be four teams in that Fatal 4-Way and look at this.
00:15:24Look at this.
00:15:25Bulldog and Owen are now fighting the Godwins.
00:15:28And it's every team or every man for himself, so to speak, in there.
00:15:34Just the way it will be when Stone Cold and Dude Love join this Fatal 4-Way,
00:15:41it is gonna be a melee, no doubt about that.
00:15:44And Phineas and Henry on the outside.
00:15:52I wouldn't wanna be the Godwins this Saturday night in Chicago at the Rosemont.
00:15:57And they are ready to go.
00:16:01The Godwins would love to get their hands back on LOD and obviously with the result
00:16:06that we saw here earlier on, LOD would like to get a bit even there with the Godwins.
00:16:11Let's go back and show you what Henry Godwin did behind the official's back.
00:16:20Yeah, he brings that old down home bucket into the ring.
00:16:24Beautiful.
00:16:26Look at the dent in the bucket.
00:16:29An animal somehow is on his feet.
00:16:32Let's check out the dent in an animal's head.
00:16:34Scheduled up a little bit later on, ladies and gentlemen,
00:16:39J.R. had the privilege of speaking with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:16:44That's right.
00:16:45Earlier in Philadelphia, in a hotel room, J.R. spoke with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:16:50Here's a bite.
00:16:51WFC is fit to put me in a room like this with all this fruit and trash like this.
00:16:55You want a pear?
00:16:56You want an apple?
00:16:57You want a banana or something?
00:16:58Make yourself at home, man.
00:17:00Well, if you've got questions to ask, go ahead and ask them because I'm getting a little tired of you.
00:17:04And tonight, the first, yeah, night of first, we've got Mankind and the Undertaker teaming up for the first time.
00:17:10And Shawn Michaels and Hunter teaming up.
00:17:12And here's Mankind in his comments.
00:17:14My mind has not yet forgiven you, and my body cannot forget it.
00:17:21But now, Undertaker, the World Wrestling Federation says we've got to be a team.
00:17:27So who knows, I may be the most loyal partner you've ever had.
00:17:31Why, my team is the final nail in your coffin.
00:17:36I guess we'll find out together.
00:17:39Have a nice day.
00:17:41Welcome back, everyone, to Atlantic City.
00:17:45Of course, the site of the Miss America pageant, as always, since 1928.
00:17:49Tonight, the site of WWF Raw.
00:17:51Looks like they gave a beauty contest and nobody won.
00:17:53Standing by right now, Shawn Michaels, Mr. Michaels, why are you so upset?
00:17:58Why am I so upset?
00:17:59Because you and the rest of the World Wrestling Federation are still giving me the shaft.
00:18:03Everybody knows that what happened at SummerSlam is a job I had to do.
00:18:07And up to this point, everything I've done has been a mistake.
00:18:10And you people are painting me into a corner.
00:18:12And when you paint me into a corner, all the mistakes stop.
00:18:15I got news for you.
00:18:16You know, I'm getting so sick and tired of this.
00:18:18You are throwing me to the Lions.
00:18:19I'm not supposed to be with The Undertaker until ground zero.
00:18:22You got me out there with him, Mankind, Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
00:18:25He's not my tag team partner.
00:18:27I don't have tag team partners.
00:18:28You, Caesar, are throwing this young Catholic boy to the Lions once again.
00:18:33You always do that, and you and the whole World Wrestling Federation is gonna pay.
00:18:37You paint me into a corner, you're gonna get what is coming to you.
00:18:40Believe me when I tell you.
00:18:42Well, speaking of what's coming to you, Shawn Michaels very upset, and I'm sure he would be.
00:18:52Sonny!
00:18:55Because indeed, I'm sure Mr. Michaels thought that he had plenty of time until
00:18:59later on in September at Ground Zero on September 7th, when he was gonna face The
00:19:04Undertaker.
00:19:05But that's just too bad, because tonight, Michaels is in tag team action, and
00:19:09one of his opponents is The Undertaker.
00:19:12Well, there's no doubt that Shawn Michaels would love to have waited until September
00:19:16the 7th on pay-per-view to get his hands on The Undertaker, or vice versa.
00:19:22But that's not the case, it's gonna be a war right here tonight, live.
00:19:26Hey, Ross, how about shutting up so we can listen to Sonny?
00:19:29Woo!
00:19:30Sonny, the guest, ringing now, sir.
00:19:32Maybe we can just look at her.
00:19:33Are you all ready for the next match-up?
00:19:36First, introducing.
00:19:40From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
00:19:44Okay.
00:19:45Maybe not.
00:19:46He stole his music.
00:19:47It seems as though.
00:19:48From Memphis, Tennessee.
00:19:49Weighing 214 and one-quarter pounds.
00:19:51He is too sexy.
00:19:52I know it.
00:19:53You know it.
00:19:54And most of all, he knows it.
00:19:55He is Ryan Christopher.
00:19:56Let me tell you something.
00:19:57What's that?
00:19:58I'm sorry.
00:19:59I know it.
00:20:00You know it.
00:20:01And most of all, he knows it.
00:20:02He is Ryan Christopher.
00:20:03Let me tell you something.
00:20:04What's that?
00:20:05I know it.
00:20:06I know it.
00:20:07You know it.
00:20:08And most of all, he knows it.
00:20:09There's no way that Ryan Christopher is going to wait in the back while Flash Buck makes a grand entrance.
00:20:16Ryan Christopher's going to be first.
00:20:18He's number one.
00:20:19And Flash Buck is just going to be all news after this.
00:20:22Yeah, well, Bryan Christopher had these pre-recorded comments, ladies and gentlemen, to say about Flash Buck.
00:20:29High ambitions for Bryan Christopher.
00:20:32Last time I was on Monday Night Raw, I got beat.
00:20:36But that was a fluke.
00:20:37It'll never happen again.
00:20:38Tonight, just to prove that I can beat anybody, I want you Flash Buck.
00:20:43I want a heavyweight.
00:20:44And when I'm through with you, we're going to call you a Flash in the Pan.
00:20:49The light heavyweight contender, ladies and gentlemen, Bryan Christopher.
00:20:54And from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
00:20:57And here we go.
00:20:58And 43 pounds, Flash Buck.
00:21:04How about putting the camera on either Sonny or Bryan Christopher?
00:21:08Flash Buck, ladies and gentlemen, certainly ready to meet the light heavyweight contender.
00:21:13No doubt about that.
00:21:14He is always ready.
00:21:15And tonight is no exception.
00:21:17Here we have these pre-recorded comments.
00:21:19Bryan Christopher, Jerry King Lawler, you say you got something to prove by fighting the heavyweight.
00:21:24If you think you're going to use Flash as a stepping stone, you got another thing coming.
00:21:27When you step to the ring, I'm going to stick my foot right down your throat.
00:21:32All the way down.
00:21:34What are you putting me in there for, McMahon?
00:21:36Because you're his father, King.
00:21:37Oh, shut up.
00:21:38That's why.
00:21:39Ross, I've had just about enough out of you.
00:21:41Well, let me know when you get enough, will you?
00:21:43Yeah, I will.
00:21:44You'll know it.
00:21:45All right.
00:21:46Flash Buck now, ready to lock up with Bryan Christopher.
00:21:48Just because I admire that young man, he has a lot of talent, a lot of ability.
00:21:52And also, just because he comes to me for advice, he looks up to a true professional like myself.
00:21:58You're at a 25 percentile, King.
00:22:0025 percent of Americans say they're good at lying.
00:22:04You perfect.
00:22:05It's an art form for you.
00:22:07Yeah, right.
00:22:09Bryan Christopher.
00:22:10There's an art form right there, Bryan Christopher.
00:22:14Bryan Christopher, ladies and gentlemen, knowing full well, he needs this victory.
00:22:17Going into the match at ground zero with Putzki.
00:22:20I would suggest he obviously wants to build a bit of momentum, but he might be bit
00:22:24up a little bit more than he can chew here.
00:22:26What do you mean?
00:22:27Just because he moved up right on up into the heavyweight division?
00:22:29You see what he's doing so far?
00:22:30It's no problem.
00:22:31No sweat.
00:22:32I don't know if he's Roy Jones Jr. or not, who also is gonna be moving up in classification, or so he says.
00:22:39Wait a minute, Roy, now I guess Roy Jones is his father.
00:22:42Boy, I'll tell you something.
00:22:43Well, you never know.
00:22:45All right now, off the rope, Bryan Christopher, very athletic.
00:22:49And here we go, Flash Buck with a big slam there.
00:22:52Buck over the head.
00:22:53And Flash Buck.
00:22:55Buck's out about an absolute difference between the wide heavyweights and the heavyweights.
00:23:00Flash out weighing up.
00:23:01That impact.
00:23:02Christopher about 30 pounds.
00:23:03And Flash Buck.
00:23:07Look at that maneuver, would you over the top?
00:23:10Unbelievable.
00:23:11Look out, Bryan.
00:23:14Look out.
00:23:15And Bryan Christopher is being beaten from tone to post.
00:23:20Look out, where comes Buck.
00:23:22Wow, thank goodness.
00:23:24He is so funky.
00:23:26Yeah, get in there and slap the fuck out of him.
00:23:29That's all you gotta do.
00:23:32Bryan Christopher just about as tough as they come.
00:23:34He's right back in there, notwithstanding being drop kicked over the top rope.
00:23:38And then careening into that retaining barrier.
00:23:41Almost as tough as me, McMahon.
00:23:42And you know, he's got a lot of moves.
00:23:44I'm gonna tell you something.
00:23:45You know, he's got a super kick right up there with Shawn Michaels.
00:23:49But you know what I wanted him to do?
00:23:51What's that?
00:23:52I'm trying to get him to perfect.
00:23:53Boom!
00:23:54Oh, that was beautiful.
00:23:55It was.
00:23:56I'm trying to get him to use the pile driver.
00:23:58When he gets ready to finish off some schmuck like this Flash Funk,
00:24:01I want him to use the pile driver.
00:24:03Yeah, kind of like the way Owen Hart used it on Stone.
00:24:06That would be beautiful.
00:24:07Look at that.
00:24:08Drop kicked from behind the head.
00:24:09He saw Flash Funk's head snap over.
00:24:11Yes.
00:24:12Unbelievable.
00:24:13What a maneuver there by Bryan Christopher.
00:24:15Yeah.
00:24:16And this one's over.
00:24:21This young man certainly likes to show, but why didn't he go for a cover there with Funk?
00:24:25Bryan Christopher, there we go.
00:24:27He likes to deliver just a little more punishment.
00:24:30Give him a pile driver Bryan.
00:24:33Bryan Christopher, who has taken the light heavyweight division pretty much by storm,
00:24:41with the only exception of Takamichi Noko.
00:24:44My goodness.
00:24:45What a matchup that was, JR.
00:24:46It certainly was.
00:24:47Takamichi Noko scored the upset on Bryan Christopher a couple weeks ago.
00:24:50Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:24:51I'm gonna get him to do a pile driver.
00:24:53Hang on, hang on.
00:24:54What do you mean?
00:24:55Hang on.
00:24:56Hey, King.
00:24:57Well, War is gonna go top to Beaver.
00:24:58Hey, Bryan!
00:24:59How's June?
00:25:00How's June?
00:25:01She's getting the alimony.
00:25:03How's driving?
00:25:04Jerry the King rolling getting instruction to Bryan Christopher up on the top rope,
00:25:08and here comes Flash Funk.
00:25:09I guess the King may never be a grandfather, but that's a good thing.
00:25:16Flash Funk now, can he capitalize Flash Funk up to the outside now?
00:25:21Up on the top rope, this could be finished, Flash Funk it is.
00:25:24Unbelievable impact, and Flash Funk gets the victory.
00:25:28G-Ward, you're a little rough on the Beaver tonight.
00:25:37And your winner, Flash Funk.
00:25:42And Bryan Christopher takes advice from Jerry the King Lawler and pays the price for it.
00:25:49Let's go back and take a look at what happened.
00:25:56And you see the King there and Bryan Christopher having a rather heated discussion.
00:25:59Look at this maneuver.
00:26:00That's one of the most devastating maneuvers in all of the WWF.
00:26:04When Funk hits this, it's goodbye.
00:26:06The 450 Flash, the Funky's Flash Flash, and what a little father and son reunion here.
00:26:13Uh-oh, in a big time disagreement.
00:26:15Till to come here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, that exclusive interview that J.R. conducted earlier on this morning from Philadelphia, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:26:37And he had a great deal to say that J.R. will pick up if this is called a bite.
00:26:42So I'm supposed to see the top guy, the top spine guy in the country tomorrow here in Philadelphia, and see what he has to say.
00:26:48And it doesn't matter really what he says, the end result, the decision's mine.
00:26:52And ladies and gentlemen, how will they coexist?
00:26:55For the first time ever, The Undertaker and Mankind will join forces to meet Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
00:27:03It's so unpredictable, it's gonna be a war.
00:27:05And standing by now, the man from the dark side.
00:27:08They say patience is a virtue, but when it comes to Shawn Michaels, mine has run out.
00:27:15Shawn Michaels, you're not gonna make it to Ground Zero, because tonight, I settle the score.
00:27:21And Mankind, I never forgive, and I never forget.
00:27:26You get out of line, and I'll take you out just like Shawn Michaels.
00:27:31Welcome back, everyone.
00:27:35Tonight, Raw is brought to you by the Discovery Zone.
00:27:39It's the ultimate entertainment spot, and it's just for kids.
00:27:43Go to your nearest Discovery Zone and get a free WWF poster, DZ, where kids wanna be.
00:27:50And the Sultan now, awaiting the presence, ladies and gentlemen,
00:27:55of the world's most dangerous man, Ken Shamrock.
00:27:59Right now, we're told that Sergeant Slaughter is having discussions with Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
00:28:04It seems to know Mr. Helmsley is, rumor has it, trying to get out of this tag match.
00:28:10For some reason, it seems that Helmsley and Shawn Michaels are not pleased,
00:28:16either to be partners, or more specifically, to be in this match at all.
00:28:20And his opponent.
00:28:21Yeah, with The Undertaker.
00:28:22And Mankind.
00:28:24And Mankind.
00:28:25Over 35 pounds.
00:28:26The world's most dangerous man, Ken Shamrock.
00:28:31Tremendous salvation for Ken Shamrock, who is all business.
00:28:39The submission specialist.
00:28:41And when he is in the zone, nobody can beat him.
00:28:45Nobody, nobody, not a man on the face of the Earth.
00:28:48That's taking in quite a lot of territory, Mankind.
00:28:52Recently, this past Saturday, Kid Shamrock running a tremendous battle royal.
00:29:03Took place in Boston at the Fleet Center.
00:29:05Boston, of course, the home of WrestleMania 14.
00:29:07At the Fleet Center, and Shamrock victorious in Nevada Royal.
00:29:13However, individual competition.
00:29:15Yeah, but he only beat, like, 19 guys, right?
00:29:18What do you mean, only?
00:29:19Well, not every man on Earth was in there.
00:29:21No, that's true.
00:29:22The Sultan, who outweighs Ken Shamrock by quite a substantial margin,
00:29:30may have some degree of advantage as far as strength is concerned.
00:29:34At least in the earlier moments of the matchup.
00:29:38Downstairs, another shot there by the Sultan.
00:29:41The Sultan setting up Shamrock now, waits him over the hip.
00:29:44Nope.
00:29:45Bit of a block there, and it's the Sultan who goes over.
00:29:47And right on in, and very quickly to the robe.
00:29:50Shamrock likes to go without- Look out!
00:29:53He was caught.
00:29:55Shamrock, trying a more traditional maneuver, was caught there by the Sultan.
00:30:00No!
00:30:01When Shamrock does what he does best, nobody can beat him.
00:30:05And a close eye!
00:30:06Some say the only thing that can defeat Shamrock would be Shamrock himself.
00:30:18He tries to adapt too quickly in a different style.
00:30:21That, and of course, Shamrock is so intense.
00:30:24You know, when he was young, they said he was uncoachable.
00:30:27He was a guy that ran away from home at the age of ten and lived in cardboard boxes and
00:30:31abandoned automobiles for several years.
00:30:34No!
00:30:35No!
00:30:36He didn't run away from home.
00:30:37I know the real story.
00:30:38He went to school one day, and while he was gone, his parents moved.
00:30:41The Sheikah just broke that flag stick right over the pole right over the back of Shamrock.
00:30:50Shamrock accustomed to no hose barred fighting.
00:30:55He's not exactly accustomed to this kind of chicanery on the outside.
00:30:59Look at this!
00:31:00And now, the Sultan trying to take over.
00:31:03Trying to.
00:31:04We have a count and not much of a cover there.
00:31:08Last week, of course, it was Ken Shamrock victorious when he was chosen by the Patriot
00:31:13to be his tag team partner.
00:31:15What a victory last week.
00:31:17Shamrock in individual competition.
00:31:19Whoa!
00:31:20Man!
00:31:21Now let's see if Shamrock can capitalize.
00:31:25Succession of right hands, and Shamrock, a very strong young man.
00:31:32Off the rope.
00:31:33Whoa, the close line there.
00:31:34Wow!
00:31:35Tremendous velocity by the powerful Ken Shamrock.
00:31:40The first Super Fight Champion of the Ultimate Fighting World.
00:31:44And here we go.
00:31:45This has been Shamrock.
00:31:46Look at the Sheik.
00:31:51Sheik better stay down.
00:31:53Hey!
00:31:55What?
00:31:56Shamrock is pulling the Sheik into the room.
00:31:59Look out!
00:32:00No!
00:32:01He's supposed to be the Iron Sheik!
00:32:04Whoa!
00:32:05Polk and Rana by Shamrock!
00:32:10He's going nuts again!
00:32:12Get in there, Ross!
00:32:13Shamrock's getting in the zone!
00:32:15There it is!
00:32:16There it is right there!
00:32:17The ankle lock by Shamrock!
00:32:19Look at that ankle has been over the top of him!
00:32:22The number double!
00:32:23Here is your winner, the world's most dangerous fan, Ken Shimrock!
00:32:32Ken Shimrock!
00:32:33Ken Shimrock victorious, ladies and gentlemen!
00:32:39The dreaded submission hold, and he is adored by all these WWF fans,
00:32:44jam-packing the Atlantic City Convention Halls.
00:32:51Let's go back and take another look at the way Shamrock defeated the Sultan.
00:32:57Although, as we stated before, when Shamrock is doing what he does, Matt, he's unbeatable here and here.
00:33:01Shamrock is using a move, very unusual, a hurricanrana for a shoe fighter.
00:33:17Yeah.
00:33:18And now it's the ankle lock.
00:33:19That's him.
00:33:20Look at the angle, look at the position of the ankle right there.
00:33:24That foot's not supposed to go that way!
00:33:26No, it's not.
00:33:27Yet to come, ladies and gentlemen, of course, that extraordinary first ever tag team matchup.
00:33:38Shawn Michaels, reluctant as he may be.
00:33:40Helmsley, reluctant as he may be.
00:33:42Teaming up to face another team teaming up for the first time.
00:33:45Hopefully we're not confusing you.
00:33:47The Undertaker and Mankind, they may not get along.
00:33:50It seems like nobody wants to have this match.
00:33:52Why don't that big chin commissioner just call it off?
00:33:55All right, JR, let's go to Philadelphia earlier this morning.
00:33:59Tell us about this extraordinary interview we're about to see now with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:34:03Well, I found Stone Cold to be just like you thought, folks.
00:34:06I thought we're going to the interview.
00:34:10Yes, we're not.
00:34:12All right, we will hold that for you.
00:34:15The Nation of Domination on its way down, ladies and gentlemen, to ringside.
00:34:20And there with them, the newest member of the Nation of Domination, Rocky Marvilla.
00:34:26The Nation of Domination.
00:34:30Well, they're not scheduling a match, as best of my knowledge, anyway.
00:34:34They weren't even scheduled to be here tonight, were they?
00:34:38I think they're pointing to you, JR.
00:34:41JR, JR, they want you, thank goodness, and not the rest of us.
00:34:47Yeah.
00:34:49Yeah, we'll sacrifice JR, go ahead.
00:34:52The Nation of Domination apparently requesting an interview, an impromptu one with JR.
00:35:01Rocky Sucks, Rocky Sucks, Rocky Sucks, Rocky Sucks, Rocky Sucks, Rocky Sucks, Rocky Sucks.
00:35:09Ahmed Johnson excommunicated from the Nation recently and Rocky joined just last week here on Raw.
00:35:18You wanted to ask, you called me out here.
00:35:27You people wanted to know what happened with Ahmed Johnson.
00:35:30Well, I'll tell you what happened with Ahmed Johnson.
00:35:32What it is, is what I've always known all along.
00:35:35Here is Ahmed Johnson on all that thick black skin of him is a white man that's dying to
00:35:41get out.
00:35:42He wants to be pretty like Shawn Michaels.
00:35:44He wants to be like Steve Austin.
00:35:46Well, I got news for y'all, Ahmed Johnson.
00:35:49You couldn't be white if they sandblasted your ass 20 times.
00:35:53And another thing, you better learn to stand on your own two feet because anything in this
00:35:58world that's worth getting is worth fighting for.
00:36:01And anybody that's weak like you does not have a place in the nation.
00:36:05And speaking of two weak bucks, Savio Vega crushed his two people I took literally out of the
00:36:11trash can, all right?
00:36:12They're the reason, I'm the reason that they're successful in the WWF.
00:36:16I made them.
00:36:17You want to challenge me to a street fight?
00:36:19I got news for you.
00:36:21I'm the street.
00:36:21I was raised up in the street.
00:36:23I'm a product of the street.
00:36:25I brought the streets to you.
00:36:26And at Ground Zero in Louisville, I'm going to play genie.
00:36:30I'm going to grant you one last wish.
00:36:32And this chapter will be the final one in the book.
00:36:34And you can title this chapter, How Farouk Kicked Our Asses at Ground Zero in Louisville.
00:36:41Now, Ahmed Johnson, I want you to take a look at this man right here.
00:36:45Here's a young man that came to the WWF trying to do things the American way.
00:36:51But what did you people do?
00:36:52No.
00:36:53You frowned on him.
00:36:54He came out here kissing babies, shaking hands, helping old ladies across the street.
00:36:59But he found out that it's not the way to do it.
00:37:02Anything in this world that's worth getting, Rocky Mafia found out that the nation stands
00:37:06for it and that it's fighting your way through.
00:37:09Tell them, Rocky.
00:37:09I got three words, die, Rocky, die.
00:37:18That's the gratitude I get from you pieces of crap for all my blood, my sweat, and my tears.
00:37:26You know, hey, this isn't about the color of my skin.
00:37:29This is about respect.
00:37:31I became the youngest Intercontinental Champion in WWE.
00:37:39WF history.
00:37:41And what did it get me?
00:37:42In arenas across the country, I heard chants of Rocky Sucks.
00:37:48Well, Rocky might be is a lot of things, but Sucks isn't one of them.
00:38:00You know, hey, that's not a black thing.
00:38:02That's not a white thing.
00:38:03And hey, let's talk about a racist faction.
00:38:06You want to talk about a group that's prejudiced?
00:38:09Let's talk about the DOA.
00:38:11The DOA epitomizes racism.
00:38:15But hey, you know what the hell with the DOA?
00:38:17I want to make one point to all you jackass fans out there.
00:38:21Rocky, my via, and the new nation of domination lives, breathes, and dies respect.
00:38:31And we will earn respect, and we will earn respect by any means necessary.
00:38:36And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen.
00:38:42Uh-oh.
00:38:43No, wait a minute.
00:38:44Domination of domination?
00:38:46Punks, as far as we're concerned, you guys ain't much more than a nation of constipation.
00:38:53You want to talk about racism?
00:38:56Hell, we're just here in the World Wrestling Federation to kick ass and take names.
00:39:02So I've got to issue a little challenge to you, Punks.
00:39:09Meet us out here in the parking lot, man to man, fist to fist, with no commissioner,
00:39:17Sergeant Slaughter, to save your butts.
00:39:20If you're through running your mounts out there, bring it on in here, if you ain't scared, Punks.
00:39:30I guess they're not afraid.
00:39:32They're gonna hook up out there in the parking lot somewhere.
00:39:36You have to come here tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
00:39:39After this commercial break, we'll bring you whatever happens, plus a car, Stone Cold Steve Austin,
00:39:45an exclusive interview that JR conducted earlier this morning.
00:39:49I figure I weigh 245, 250, bam, you get planted in the mat, it happens.
00:39:53And up for basically about 50 seconds, I could move my arms and my legs.
00:39:57And I didn't know if I ever would move again.
00:39:59It's pretty damn scary.
00:40:01And then it's gonna happen tonight, whether they wanted to or not.
00:40:04Shawn Michaels has got a team with Hunter Hearst Hemsley, going against The Undertaker and Mankind.
00:40:10However, we know them as Goldust and Marlena, but take a look, ladies and gentlemen.
00:40:14What? They're Dustin and Terry Runnels with their beautiful daughter, Dakota,
00:40:18earlier today, out on the beach of Atlantic City, just having a blast.
00:40:22Watch this.
00:40:23I don't want her with her toes.
00:40:24Want to touch her with your toes?
00:40:26Give me a break.
00:40:27Woo-hoo!
00:40:28Woo-hoo!
00:40:29I got it, Dakota!
00:40:33Dakota, come do it with me.
00:40:36Come on, man!
00:40:37Woo!
00:40:38Woo!
00:40:39Woo!
00:40:40We are back with some more of this old Atlantic City footage, McMahon.
00:40:48This is 1920, and you are about 30 years old.
00:40:50Look, it's the bathing suit police out on the beach.
00:40:53Standing by Hunter Hearst.
00:40:55Tell Mr. Hemsley, we wonder whether or not the, are you afraid of The Undertaker and
00:40:59Mankind?
00:41:00No, I'm not afraid of The Undertaker, and I'm not afraid of Mankind.
00:41:04McMahon, what are you doing?
00:41:06Shawn Michaels.
00:41:07You have no faith in Shawn Michaels as a partner, then.
00:41:10Shawn Michaels does the crime, I pay the time, again?
00:41:13What is this about?
00:41:15You want a war with Shawn Michaels, you get a war with Shawn Michaels.
00:41:18But if you want a war with me, you've got one as of today.
00:41:21I beg your pardon.
00:41:21The Undertaker and Mankind.
00:41:22I'm sorry about what, we're gonna break away.
00:41:24I'm sorry, we have this, we have, we're outside, ladies and gentlemen, we're in a bucket.
00:41:28Come on!
00:41:28Come on!
00:41:32Disciples of Apocalypse awaiting for the nation of domination.
00:41:35Look out, here they come.
00:41:37Come on.
00:41:56Whoa.
00:41:59The Barrigos, the Barrigos have stolen their bikes.
00:42:02The Barrigos stole the bikes of DOA.
00:42:06The chase is on, and we are live, ladies and gentlemen.
00:42:14This capacity crowd here in Atlantic City seeing action on the inside.
00:42:19Action on the outside of the convention center.
00:42:23I'll tell you this, Commissioner Sloker better get his big chin out there and
00:42:27get those motorcycles back.
00:42:29And ladies and gentlemen waiting in the wings as Mr.
00:42:36Bryan Pillman, because he's been wearing a dress of late for good reason.
00:42:43You better not say Mrs.
00:42:44Bryan Pillman.
00:42:45And Bryan Pillman, here he comes.
00:42:49He's gonna wear that dress until he wins a match on Raw.
00:42:5330 pounds, the loose cannon, Bryan Pillman.
00:42:59No.
00:43:01That's a nicer dress than he's been wearing.
00:43:04Last several weeks, he's been having problems, Mr. Pillman has.
00:43:09Nice cleavage, though.
00:43:10Let's show you what's happening with Bryan Pillman over the last two weeks ago.
00:43:16That's the first time he had to appear in a dress.
00:43:18It was right after SummerSlam.
00:43:20It was right after that provision and the contract in the match with Goldust.
00:43:24And he lost the match, had to wear a dress.
00:43:26What is this music?
00:43:26What do you think he is, Miss America walking down the ramp or something?
00:43:29And then last week, that's sort of a plain Johnny Versace, wouldn't you say there?
00:43:35Yeah, a dress to kill for.
00:43:37Well, I don't know about that.
00:43:38And look at this one.
00:43:41This is a tackier model.
00:43:43Hey, I don't know.
00:43:46Maybe it came from Lomans, he got it on sale.
00:43:51It looks like it might be on sale, but nonetheless, Bryan Pillman,
00:43:54whether he's in a dress or in regular wrestling attire,
00:43:58he is a very dangerous human being.
00:44:00Hey, look at that!
00:44:02He's being fondled.
00:44:04You guys can laugh about this if you want to.
00:44:05I ain't laughing about it, I don't want to laugh about it.
00:44:07Yeah, Pillman is fixing to go nuts, he's gonna go postal here on somebody.
00:44:10I think it's absolutely deplorable, Pillman made the deal.
00:44:18Well, I don't think it's deplorable at all.
00:44:20No!
00:44:22Boy!
00:44:23I think it's about time- Look at this, there you go.
00:44:25It's about time that people started having to do what they say they were gonna
00:44:29do around here, and Bryan Pillman opened his mouth and it went into the contract.
00:44:33Indeed, he would wear a dress if he lost the match.
00:44:35He lost the match, and he's gonna wear a dress, according to Commissioner Slaughter,
00:44:39until he wins, and that might be at any moment right now.
00:44:42I'm gonna tell you something, Loose Cannon is not just the nickname,
00:44:45he's gonna hurt some people now.
00:44:48Bryan Pillman with Jesse James for the ride.
00:44:51Look at that, Jesse James hammering away.
00:44:57Jesse James with Bryan Pillman sets him up and whips him to the buckle.
00:45:00And here you go, what a close line.
00:45:03Tremendous impact when there's no place for you to go, except right back in the buckle.
00:45:07Look out, Bryan.
00:45:09Look out, Bryan.
00:45:10There we go.
00:45:11Nobody there.
00:45:14Pillman now has an opportunity to put Jesse James away.
00:45:19Hey, hey, what's this?
00:45:22There he goes.
00:45:23DDT, but wait a minute, Goldust.
00:45:25Goldust is on his way down here.
00:45:27Wait a minute, Goldust is in the ring.
00:45:29What's he doing?
00:45:30What? He's going after Jesse James.
00:45:31Why did he do that?
00:45:36Double J, Jesse James.
00:45:38Goldust out of nowhere.
00:45:41The winner of this match is a result of outside interference, Double J, Jesse James.
00:45:47What?
00:45:48Wait a minute.
00:45:50Goldust, wisely coming down and drops the elbow on Jesse James and disqualifies Bryan Pillman in the process.
00:45:59Come on, McMahon, this is some kind of fling of those idiots.
00:46:02We're gonna try to get a word with Goldust, Michael Cole.
00:46:05Hello now, you've interfered in a Bryan Pillman match.
00:46:09What is going on?
00:46:11Well, just look at him in this pretty little frilly gold dress out there.
00:46:15I just wanted to see it one more week.
00:46:17Now next week, he's gonna come out and wear another one.
00:46:19Look at how funny this is, unbelievable.
00:46:23Look at him, my gosh, tripping over the bottom rope.
00:46:26Hey, Goldust.
00:46:27What?
00:46:30You think this is a big joke?
00:46:32You think it's funny for a world-class athlete like Bryan Pillman to come out in front of all these sick freaks wearing a dress?
00:46:43Yes, I do think it's funny.
00:46:49You probably would like to get rid of me for good, wouldn't you?
00:46:53Yeah, I sure would.
00:46:53Why don't you get the hell out of here?
00:46:55You'd probably never ever see me again, huh?
00:46:58Yeah, why not?
00:46:59Why don't you get out of here?
00:47:00Well, I'll tell you what.
00:47:03You promised to give me one more match.
00:47:09And if you beat me, I'll leave the WWF forever.
00:47:18Uh-oh, uh-oh.
00:47:19Forever?
00:47:20Don't do it.
00:47:21You're talking about forever, right?
00:47:23I know. Forever.
00:47:24Long time.
00:47:25Show me the papers and let me sign.
00:47:27No, Pillman, don't do it.
00:47:28But if I beat you, then I get little Marlena as my personal assistant.
00:47:39For 30 days, 24 hours a day.
00:47:47Well, you really must think that I'm out of my mind.
00:47:52To put my beautiful, lovely wife on the line for you in a match.
00:48:00You are stupid.
00:48:01You are an idiot.
00:48:04You're crazy.
00:48:05You're losing your guts.
00:48:06Have you lost your manhood?
00:48:09Just a few seconds ago, you were talking tough.
00:48:13Well, how is it, Marlene, or should I say Terry as I know you?
00:48:18You shut your mouth right now.
00:48:19Is he really the big man?
00:48:20Hey, did you hear me?
00:48:23I said, shut your mouth.
00:48:25There's no way in hell that I am wrestling you with her as a stipulation.
00:48:31No, that's a no-go.
00:48:33Well, you may not be gonna ever see me again, but let me let you in on a little secret.
00:48:45There's always a big part of me around you all the time, because you know your little daughter, Dakota?
00:48:53Marlena, she's mine, she's my love child, she's mine, and it was so good.
00:49:01Wait, wait, wait, wait, we'll take that challenge.
00:49:08It was good.
00:49:09What is this?
00:49:11Right there, baby.
00:49:13Marlena trying to speak, Marlena trying to speak to Goldust, stating that, and also to
00:49:27Brian Pillman, they're gonna take the challenge.
00:49:30Goldust can't believe it.
00:49:32We're taking the challenge.
00:49:36For what, for what, what?
00:49:48What is wrong with you?
00:49:51Misunderstanding here.
00:49:53I wouldn't do that, why do you wanna do this?
00:49:54Marlena has accepted the challenge, ladies and gentlemen.
00:49:57This idiot isn't worth that, it's not worth it.
00:50:00However, here tonight, that first ever tag team matchup,
00:50:04you may never ever see it again as well.
00:50:06Mankind and The Undertaker, teaming up, they've been brutal enemies up to this date.
00:50:10I guess, ladies and gentlemen, teaming up for the first time,
00:50:13Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley, all that right here tonight.
00:50:17Well, that's not all, ladies and gentlemen, the Patriot, he's on a roll.
00:50:20He could be the next WWF champion, but to do that, he's gotta survive tonight,
00:50:25and survive against this man, Vader.
00:50:29The colors of the Patriot are red, white, and blue.
00:50:34But tonight, they're gonna change to black and blue, yeah.
00:50:39Cuz it's time, have no fear for it's time, it's Vader time.
00:50:45In over 100 countries, in seven different languages,
00:50:51to more than a half billion viewers each week,
00:50:54the World Wrestling Federation, the worldwide leader in sports entertainment.
00:51:151,500�ades in audience to college theaters,
00:51:19who stands behind me and also watches the National Public
00:51:44Look at the sea of humanity, you champ!
00:52:14Atlantic City Convention Center.
00:52:17Look at this, the personification of the freedom of expression.
00:52:22They are here, ladies and gentlemen, to voice their approval or disapproval.
00:52:27They brought their signs, their posters, you name it.
00:52:31They are here to have fun World CrossFit Federation style.
00:52:36It's time for the War Zone.
00:52:45And what time is it, JR?
00:52:49One time.
00:52:51What time is that?
00:52:52It's time.
00:52:52It's time.
00:52:53It's time.
00:52:54It's time.
00:52:55It is Vader time.
00:52:57Here comes the Mastodon.
00:53:00The following contest is scheduled for one following a 20-minute time limit.
00:53:05Making this way to the ring bear company by Paul Bearer from the Rocky Mountains.
00:53:10Weighing in at 456 pounds, the man they call Vader.
00:53:20And look at Paul Bearer's front, if you will.
00:53:25Paul Bearer who promises that Kane, The Undertaker's brother, is alive.
00:53:31Although we have not seen a great deal of evidence to support that.
00:53:35And now, Vader to lock up with the Patriot who's really been on a roll as of late.
00:53:43Patriot has been as hot as any competitor in the World Wrestling Federation in the last
00:53:48month since upsetting Bret Hart in Pittsburgh at the Igloo on the 28th of July.
00:53:55Nobody in the World Wrestling Federation has been on a greater roll than Dale Wilkes,
00:54:00the Patriot.
00:54:02And speaking of who, and his opponent, from Columbia, South Carolina,
00:54:07weighing in at 2875 pounds, the Patriot.
00:54:17What an impact this young superstar has made in such a short period of time here
00:54:24in the World Wrestling Federation.
00:54:27He's a big old fighting Gamecock from South Carolina.
00:54:32The Patriot, the Patriot, on a date with destiny perhaps at Ground Zero.
00:54:41September 7th, when he faces Bret Hart for the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
00:54:47The Louisville Gardens already sold out on September the 7th.
00:54:59The only way to join us is on Pay Per View, ladies and gentlemen.
00:55:02After Ground Zero and- Wait, just a moment.
00:55:06The WWE Champion from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Bret the Hitman Hart, not being met with a very
00:55:15polite reception.
00:55:19Well, the Patriot wants to do some flag waving.
00:55:22This is America, let's let Bret wave his flag.
00:55:25Look out, Bret are attacking the Patriot.
00:55:27Bret Hart, whether intentional or not, distracting the Patriot.
00:55:31And look at this Mastodon, he's just hammering the Patriot.
00:55:37Patriot whip to the buckle and here comes-
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40A 400 pounder.
00:55:42What a monster Vader is.
00:55:44If Vader is allowed to slow the pace down and use his mass, he can be very, very deadly.
00:55:49And keeping his distance is the World Wrestling Federation Champion, the Hitman Bret Hart.
00:55:58What do you mean keeping his distance?
00:56:01Are you trying to imply that Bret the Hitman Hart is afraid or something?
00:56:05He's just up there observing.
00:56:06Well, again, we saw what happened last week.
00:56:08All right, the Patriot to the ropes and the big Mastodon.
00:56:15There we go, riding high, way upstairs, the Patriot.
00:56:21Succession of kicks in the Southpaw, laying him in upstairs.
00:56:24Look out, here comes the- No, look at that.
00:56:27Patriot now, going downstairs and he grabs the-
00:56:30Wow.
00:56:31And Vader is in big time trouble.
00:56:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:56:34One, two, three, stop.
00:56:36And that should slow Vader down.
00:56:41And again, the Patriot showing us that he will bend the rules, if not break them,
00:56:46just like everybody else.
00:56:47That will make the former baby bull come to his milk.
00:56:50And a risk taker as well.
00:56:55The cover, the count, and a kick out by Big Vader.
00:57:00And the Hitman Bret Hart perhaps getting a closer look to perhaps pick up a pointer or two.
00:57:06Sure, scout the competition, that's smart, big man.
00:57:08Uh-huh, from the other side and going up high again.
00:57:12And this time though, riding a little too high, a kick out by Vader.
00:57:15And plus Bret can stand back there to distance, he's not like you and Ross, not nearsighted.
00:57:20I mean, you know, he doesn't have to have bifocals.
00:57:21Yeah.
00:57:22Look at that.
00:57:23Whoa, squashed him like a bug.
00:57:26458 pounds right in the sternum of the Patriot.
00:57:29Both these men have tremendous reputations in Japan.
00:57:34Two of the biggest international stars ever there.
00:57:36You slow it down, you get heavy artillery.
00:57:41And Vader can hammer you.
00:57:43Vader's also come very close to becoming the WWF champion on more than one occasion.
00:57:48Indeed.
00:57:50And now this is Vader's game.
00:57:53Vader really slowing down the Patriot.
00:57:55And forget about it.
00:58:00And a cover, a count, and he-
00:58:02I thought for sure he got him.
00:58:05I took everything that Patriot had to kick out of that big splash from Vader.
00:58:09And a desperation headbutt there, and perhaps another one.
00:58:12And Vader, a kick to the chest area.
00:58:16Once he has an advantage, he's likely to keep it.
00:58:19Vader doesn't make too many mistakes when he gets in the driver's seat here.
00:58:24Well, if Vader can hit him with that Vader bomb, he'd be flat on a pancake.
00:58:28I know that's right.
00:58:31Vader now dropping at the elbow again.
00:58:33And the Patriot, whether or not he has his mind on this match, or whether or not he has his mind on
00:58:39the man standing up there with a Canadian flag, the WWF champion, Bret Hart.
00:58:43He must take these matches one at the time.
00:58:47You're not kidding.
00:58:49And Patriot may wish that he had not signed for this match.
00:58:54Look, here it comes.
00:58:56Here it comes.
00:58:59He just said, Brett, this is for you.
00:59:02And Vader getting ready to come off and go.
00:59:08And certainly, the Patriot has read the playbook on Vader.
00:59:13And now the Patriot trying to get himself up.
00:59:15Big opportunity here for the Patriot.
00:59:17The Patriot's gotta make hay while the sun shines.
00:59:19He may not get a second chance.
00:59:21And the Patriot, yeah.
00:59:24The Patriot with the cover is not enough to put the big man though.
00:59:30Del Wilkes, the Patriot.
00:59:32The southpaw firing up.
00:59:33Here he comes down.
00:59:35Running right into the master.
00:59:36And another cover, hooks the leg in.
00:59:38Two.
00:59:40That was close.
00:59:41What a matchup in the Hitman Bret Hart, who has just about seen it all,
00:59:46watching this match intensely.
00:59:49I'd say confidently.
00:59:50And no!
00:59:54There it is, Uncle Slam.
00:59:55One minute, he's got the leverage, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:59:58Here is your winner, the Patriot.
01:00:09Uncle Slam.
01:00:10And look at this, Bret Hart inching down to the ring.
01:00:13He better keep his distance.
01:00:15We know the Patriot will jump right on if he gets too close.
01:00:19The Patriot with a tremendous victory, ladies and gentlemen.
01:00:22Perhaps even an upset victory against this huge Mastodon, the man they call Vader.
01:00:28Wait a minute, Vader from behind just nailed the Patriot.
01:00:34He forgot about Vader, that's a big mistake.
01:00:39And Vader rolling the Patriot back in the ring, the match is over.
01:00:44Look at this, Vader trying to do more damage to the Patriot.
01:00:54Bret Hart getting a closer look here as Vader is expecting some revenge from the Patriot.
01:01:04Look at the Patriot.
01:01:09And Bret Hart is coming into the ring, the match is officially over.
01:01:12Bret Hart is coming into the ring, they're trying to keep him out.
01:01:16And what's Vader doing now?
01:01:19Vader's going upstairs.
01:01:21Wait a minute, Vader's going to, look at Bret Hart draping the Canadian flag over the Patriot.
01:01:31Uh-oh.
01:01:38The Patriot, look at this, Bret Hart.
01:01:48Look, the Patriot hitting the ring,
01:01:53Jim Hart and Vader getting it on.
01:01:55The Bulldog, the British Bulldog is in the ring,
01:01:57and Coutsaac Hart.
01:01:58Come on, come on, come on.
01:02:05Vader being stopped by the Hart Foundation, but the Patriots back up.
01:02:09The Patriot now, the British Bulldog in Hammersie.
01:02:12Patriot running for up,
01:02:16And the Hitman, Bret Hart,
01:02:24and Commissioner Slaughter now down here.
01:02:27Commissioner Slaughter taking control of this.
01:02:30What a cheap shot by Bret Hart.
01:02:32How long can you go?
01:02:34Bret Hart with a smile on his face,
01:02:39playing the Canadian flag over the Patriot.
01:02:44Bret Hart and the Patriot will get it on September 7th on Pay Per View Ground Zero.
01:03:02And the Hitman got perhaps a little dose of his own medicine there from,
01:03:09of all places, an individual, Vader.
01:03:13Welcome back, everyone, to Atlantic City.
01:03:19Tonight live on the side of the War Zone in Raw.
01:03:23That's live?
01:03:24No, that's the way it used to look.
01:03:26Here's the way it looks today.
01:03:28All kind of action going on here tonight.
01:03:31Of course, the biggest news of all is right here tonight with us.
01:03:34And big news as well, ladies and gentlemen, Stone Cold Steve Austin in a moment.
01:03:40Let's listen to this capacity crowd.
01:03:42Let's take you back to SummerSlam.
01:03:44Let's take you now to the Stone Cold story.
01:03:48Steve Austin.
01:03:49Let's see what Austin can do with Eamon.
01:03:53No, how about that?
01:03:55A good risk.
01:03:56A good risk.
01:03:57Two stone foul.
01:03:58Shades of the under.
01:04:00Austin dropped right in his head.
01:04:02Austin is hurt.
01:04:06It's hurt.
01:04:07It hurt badly.
01:04:09Somehow, and Austin now, and Austin driving.
01:04:13No, he got it!
01:04:17Stone Cold Steve Austin won the Intercontinental title that night at SummerSlam, but in return,
01:04:22lost all feeling in his extremities, becoming temporarily paralyzed.
01:04:27Another look now at the videotape shows Austin's spine being compressed, forced down, causing
01:04:32what is known as spinal shock syndrome, or more commonly, a stinger.
01:04:36Here now from a different angle.
01:04:38Notice the placement of Austin's head clearly below Owen Hart's legs.
01:04:41How Stone Cold Steve Austin got up from this is truly nothing short of remarkable.
01:04:48That's the kind of things that young men grow up and tell their sons about.
01:04:54Most mortal men would be on a stretcher, or in the back of an ambulance after receiving
01:05:01a piledriver like that.
01:05:04But not the toughest SOB in the WWF.
01:05:08Fighting the numbness of partial paralysis, Austin somehow, somewhere and someplace found
01:05:14the strength, the courage, and the fight to get to his feet.
01:05:20Certain circumstances define certain competitors in our sport.
01:05:25And Steve Austin's intestinal fortitude has defined his continuing legacy here in the
01:05:32World Wrestling Federation.
01:05:34J.R., what was it like interviewing Steve Austin this morning?
01:05:49Well, Vince, it was a very unique morning, to say the least.
01:05:52I've had better breakfast, I'll tell you that.
01:05:53But he's no doubt a man's man, and he's got a great fighting spirit.
01:05:57As a matter of fact, I want to say this.
01:05:59There's a little bit of colorful language in this interview, so be aware of that.
01:06:03But this interview occurred this morning in Steve Austin's room in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
01:06:08All right, let's take a look.
01:06:10Well, Steve, I want to thank you for allowing us to come to your hotel room here.
01:06:12I know you've got a very busy and a very crucial 24-hour period here in Philadelphia,
01:06:16seeing a specialist tomorrow about your neck.
01:06:18But thanks for giving us a little of your time.
01:06:19Well, you're welcome for the time.
01:06:20But if you're here to ask a bunch of questions, you might as well start asking them.
01:06:24Otherwise, they'll throw your ass out the window.
01:06:26And to cover the hotel room, this ain't a hotel room that I would stay at.
01:06:29You know, when I got hurt in SummerSlam and I got dumped on my head,
01:06:32no one called me and said, hey, Steve, you okay?
01:06:34And no one ever sent a card or nothing like that.
01:06:36Not that I would expect it, but at least I would, you know,
01:06:38maybe a call just to see what the hell's going on with the hottest damn wrestler in the world.
01:06:42But I got nothing.
01:06:43So the WWF seems fit to put me in a room like this with all this fruit and trash like this.
01:06:47You want a pear? You want an apple? You want a banana or something?
01:06:50Make yourself at home, man.
01:06:52But if you've got questions to ask, go ahead and ask them
01:06:54because I'm getting a little tired of you.
01:06:56I'd like for you to address three things if you don't mind.
01:06:58Sure.
01:06:59One is SummerSlam, your paralysis after being driven in the mat from the tombstone by Owen Hart.
01:07:05The second thing is what the doctors have told you.
01:07:08And thirdly and lastly, what you perceive your future to be here in the WWF.
01:07:13Well, let's start with SummerSlam.
01:07:14The bottom line is I'm the Intercontinental Champion.
01:07:16Right?
01:07:17Right.
01:07:18Well, that's that.
01:07:20But aside from that, at the end of the match, close to the end of the match,
01:07:23when Owen Hart dumped me on my head, you figure I weigh 245, 250.
01:07:27Bam, you get planted in the match.
01:07:28It happens.
01:07:29And for basically about 50 seconds, I couldn't move my arms and my legs.
01:07:33And I didn't know if I ever would move again.
01:07:35It's pretty damn scary.
01:07:36So, you know, I'm through with that, looking past that.
01:07:39I've watched that on tape probably 30 or 40 times.
01:07:41And it still sucks each time I see it.
01:07:43But I'm over it.
01:07:44I'm moving around.
01:07:45And I'm happy about that.
01:07:46But Owen Hart has got hell to pay.
01:07:49You get dumped on your head.
01:07:50You get in the position that I was put in.
01:07:52It ain't worth a damn.
01:07:53And I'm just a little bit off.
01:07:55I'm not a little bit off.
01:07:56I'm a whole lot off.
01:07:57But you know what they say.
01:07:58It's better to be off and on.
01:08:00But Owen Hart's got hell to pay when I come back.
01:08:03And you say you've got another question.
01:08:04What was the other question?
01:08:05The doctors.
01:08:06You've seen several doctors.
01:08:07I've seen a couple of doctors.
01:08:08And one guy said, maybe you should do something else.
01:08:12Well, Steve Austin doesn't do anything else.
01:08:14What I do is wrestle.
01:08:15And I'm the best wrestler in the world.
01:08:16And can't nobody tell me different.
01:08:18So I'm supposed to see the top guy, the top spine guy in the country tomorrow,
01:08:22here in Philadelphia, and see what he has to say.
01:08:25And it doesn't matter really what he says.
01:08:27The end result, the decision's mine.
01:08:29He can sit there and say, don't do this, try not to do this, whatever.
01:08:32But the bottom line is, I'm the one that makes the decision.
01:08:34So I'll sit there, rethink things, and go for mayor.
01:08:37But regardless of what he says, Owen Hart's got hell to pay.
01:08:41You know, when you do something, when you do what he did to me, you know,
01:08:46if it's my last step in life, you can damn well bet he's going to get the
01:08:50kicked out of him one way or the other.
01:08:51And that's it.
01:08:52You know, I don't know when, where, how, or what, but it's going to happen.
01:08:56As far as my future, don't sit there and try to butt in because I'm talking, right?
01:08:59Okay.
01:09:00As far as my future goes, hell, like I said, I'll listen to what the doctor says,
01:09:04but I'm going to do what I want.
01:09:05The future for Steve Austin, as far as I'm concerned, is to put on his black trunks
01:09:09and black boots and show up.
01:09:10I'm going to take a few days off.
01:09:11I'll probably take a few weeks off.
01:09:13Because, you know, when you're sitting there at the house, you watch a film of getting paralyzed
01:09:17in there 50 seconds.
01:09:18You watch it 30, 40 times.
01:09:20You know, it kind of, you get a little depressed.
01:09:22So I drank a few cases of beer.
01:09:23I'll tell you exactly what I did.
01:09:24I'd just ride around in my four-wheeler and drink a few beers and sit there and think about it.
01:09:28But I'm going to go see this doctor and see what he has to say.
01:09:31But as far as I'm concerned, the only way I can see my future is to be Stone Cold Steve Austin,
01:09:37continue on right through the top of the WWF, just like I've done since I've been here.
01:09:41All the damn bureaucratic red tape, all the bullshit I've been through,
01:09:45it's taken me eight years to get to where I'm at right now.
01:09:48If you think for one split second that a pile driver is going to stop me, it ain't going to happen.
01:09:52That it's slowed me down, damn right, but it ain't going to stop me.
01:09:55Ground zero, sub-zero, whatever the hell you want to call it, in Louisville, I'll be there.
01:10:00Whether it's to hand the belt over, if I decide maybe it's time to hang it up, I'll do that.
01:10:05I don't think that's going to happen.
01:10:06I think when Ground Zero rolls around, you'll see Stone Cold, don't wipe your nose, it pisses me off.
01:10:11You'll see Stone Cold Steve Austin, and don't smile.
01:10:13You'll see Stone Cold Steve Austin, a black pair of trunks and a black pair of boots,
01:10:17and I'll be out there whipping somebody's ass.
01:10:19I don't know what kind of match it is, it's some kind of little four tag teams or some kind of shit like that.
01:10:23Is that right?
01:10:24That's right.
01:10:25Okay, well, I'll be there.
01:10:26You know, what gets me is that Steve Austin is in a new level now because, you know, if I was pissed off before,
01:10:33I'm a lot more pissed off now, and that makes me even more dangerous, not a liability, and that's the bottom line.
01:10:38You got anything else you want to say?
01:10:40No, sir.
01:10:41Then get the hell out.
01:10:43Oh, my goodness.
01:10:45Up next, ladies and gentlemen.
01:10:47Next, we're talking Reluctant Tag Team Partners.
01:10:51Yes, fasten your seat belts for this one.
01:10:53We'll be back with more of The War Zone.
01:10:56Oh, Stone Cold is something else.
01:10:59We're back, WMF Ground Zero in your house is presented by Stridex.

01:11:32This year's king of the ring, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and China makes him all the more dangerous.
01:11:41And his fancy partner from San Antonio Texas playing in at 34 pounds.

01:12:15I'm making shiver
01:12:17Yeah, you see me
01:12:19Whenever I'm about to see you
01:12:23Every time
01:12:25I'm making me
01:12:27I've been wrong
01:12:29I'm just a sexy boy
01:12:32I'm not you
01:12:35I'm just a sexy boy
01:12:40I'm not you
01:12:45Shawn Michaels is not impressing China
01:12:48But you can bet he impressed everyone last week
01:12:51One of the great matches that you'll only see in the WWF
01:12:55It was a grueling physical encounter
01:12:57When Michaels and Mankind went at it last week
01:13:01As a result of that
01:13:02And Helmsley's interaction
01:13:04And what have you
01:13:05Commissioner Slaughter has ordered
01:13:07Some reluctant tag team partners
01:13:10And what a matchup this is likely to be
01:13:13The question here is how will all these egos coexist
01:13:16How will the giant ego of Shawn Michaels
01:13:19And that of Hunter Hearst Helmsley coexist
01:13:22And how can the Undertaker and Mankind forgive and forget
01:13:27Go
01:13:28Go
01:13:30And his sag team partner
01:13:35From Death Valley
01:13:37Weighed in at 328 pounds
01:13:40The Undertaker
01:13:44He may and be the World Wrestling Federation Champion due to a fluke
01:14:02But he is the phenom
01:14:06He is still on the man
01:14:10And Shawn Michaels
01:14:20Will come face to face with the Reaper
01:14:24Tonight, right here, moments from now
01:14:27Live on Raw
01:14:30From Atlantic City, New Jersey
01:14:32Weighed in at 328 pounds
01:14:34Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:35Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:36Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:37Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:38Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:39Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:40Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:41Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:42Weighed in at 329 pounds

01:14:45Weighed in at 329 pounds

01:14:47Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:48Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:49Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:50Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:51Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:52Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:53Weighed in at 329 pounds
01:14:54Shawn Michaels is likely to be very, very reluctant to lock up with The Undertaker.
01:15:16And The Undertaker is gonna be very, very reluctant to trust mankind.
01:15:22But nonetheless, whether it was intentional or unintentional,
01:15:26Shawn Michaels cost The Undertaker the World Wrestling Federation title at SummerSlam.
01:15:32No one can deny that, whether you're a Shawn Michaels fan or not.
01:15:37No one wants to start this match.
01:15:39The Undertaker does.
01:15:43I think Mankind does.
01:15:44Helmsley, Mankind had a heck of a cage match at SummerSlam.
01:15:48Their rivalry is far, far from over, no doubt about that.
01:15:51And here we go, we might pick up right where we left off at SummerSlam.
01:15:55Hunter Hearst, Helmsley, and Mankind.
01:15:59Mankind in an unbelievable, grueling matchup we alluded to earlier last week with Shawn Michaels.
01:16:06And look at this, here comes Shawn Michaels.
01:16:09Shawn Michaels being hammered by Mankind.
01:16:16Hunter Hearst, Helmsley hammered.
01:16:18Thus far, Mankind pretty much in control.
01:16:23And the official will have some degree of difficulty maintained on her in this match.
01:16:27Let's go, let's go.
01:16:28There's a little teamwork, uh-oh, look out.
01:16:30Yeah, but look at Mankind, Mankind's fighting his way out of it.
01:16:34That was it.
01:16:35It remains to be seen just how effective Hunter Hearst, Helmsley, and Shawn Michaels will be as a team.
01:16:40And Hunter Hearst, Helmsley, will now enter the ring.
01:16:49And Hunter Hearst, Helmsley, will now enter the ring.
01:16:54And Undertaker, distracted by Michaels, and Hunter Hearst, Helmsley certainly taking full advantage, and look at this, look at Shawn Michaels.
01:17:17Look at Shawn Michaels, as quick as a cat.
01:17:21Michaels can certainly be an antagonist, and look at the power.
01:17:24Look at Michaels trying to distract The Undertaker, and he's, he's succeeded.
01:17:28And Michaels on the apron.
01:17:44And he got some of that, a glancing, a sweet chin music, Undertaker now at a disadvantage,
01:17:52and Michaels is ready and happy to get the tag.
01:17:54And the Undertaker-
01:17:55Michaels is just so quick.
01:17:58He's just wearing The Undertaker out.
01:18:01Michaels lightning right fast.
01:18:03You said he's charismatic.
01:18:05Boy, whoa, he's opportunistic, you better take the opportunity to leave, and he did.
01:18:11Hey, what's he doing?
01:18:14Come on.
01:18:18He's caught.
01:18:19Wait a minute, wait just a moment.
01:18:22Could this be the insurance policy?
01:18:24Walking down to ringside.
01:18:26Stay with us, ladies and gentlemen, we'll take this break.
01:18:30We're live, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back.
01:18:32Reluctant tag team matchup signed by Commissioner Slaughter.
01:18:36And now just tagging in Hunter Hearst, Helmsley.
01:18:38It's Helmsley now against Mankind.
01:18:40Here we go.
01:18:41There it is.
01:18:42The mandible claw applied on Helmsley.
01:18:46And Chyna behind the officials back.
01:18:51And Chyna, the bodyguard of Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
01:18:58took Mankind's feet right out from under him and split the post with his legs.
01:19:03She can be a real difference maker.
01:19:05And now Shawn Michaels has the tag.
01:19:07No Undertaker in there.
01:19:09And Undertaker yet to get his hands on Shawn Michaels.
01:19:15And there's some of that athleticism we alluded to.
01:19:17No question Shawn Michaels whether you like him or not.
01:19:20Truly one of the great athletes of our era.
01:19:23Maybe any era.
01:19:25Tag was made.
01:19:27Beautiful maneuvering on the part of Shawn Michaels.
01:19:29High and low and they took a knee.
01:19:32Beautiful maneuver.
01:19:33And that's the first effort.
01:19:35Here we go with the tag.
01:19:36No.
01:19:37First effort we have seen on the part of Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley in
01:19:41terms of tag team coordination.
01:19:43It's a great move.
01:19:44Showed teamwork.
01:19:45It showed that they have spoken.
01:19:47Uh-oh.
01:19:47Right out here in front of us now.
01:19:48Be careful.
01:19:51Hunter Hearst Helmsley with Mankind and Shawn Michaels attacking Helmsley from behind.
01:19:56So from a tag team standpoint, it would appear.
01:19:59Look out.
01:19:59No.
01:20:02That Michaels and Helmsley seem to be coordinated a bit better than Mankind and
01:20:10The Undertaker.
01:20:12Mankind and The Undertaker have been bitter rivals in the past.
01:20:15And there you see Ravaging Rick Rude in the lower portion of the right hand portion of the screen there just a moment ago.
01:20:21The insurance policy that Michaels was waving down earlier.
01:20:25Well, I think Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley have resigned themselves to the fact that if they don't operate as a team,
01:20:31they're gonna get their butts kicked out here or maybe even worse.
01:20:34And Michaels taunting The Undertaker.
01:20:36Michaels is like a Benny Rooster.
01:20:38More like a pit bull, JR.
01:20:41This man can do some damage to you, he's lethal.
01:20:44Double team effort.
01:20:48And Hunter Hearst Helmsley just hammering away and Michaels again taunting The Undertaker.
01:20:58John Michaels who will face The Undertaker in one-on-one action at ground zero.
01:21:10Uh-oh.
01:21:14But The Undertaker counting on getting his hands on Michaels, here tonight live.
01:21:19Perhaps now will be the opportunity, Michaels the legal man in the ring.
01:21:22Michael's in Mankind going at it just as they did last week.
01:21:30Maybe Mankind could all of a sudden become dude love and do a little better, what do you think?
01:21:34I don't know.
01:21:37Snap suplex, nicely executed by Shawn Michaels.
01:21:42Michaels is arrogant, no doubt about that, he is cocky.
01:21:45Uh-oh, here we go.
01:21:46And you have his kind of athleticism, perhaps you can be.
01:21:49And Michaels hits it.
01:21:54Perhaps time for some sweet chin music.
01:21:56Here we go.
01:22:01Michaels made the tag with Helmsley.
01:22:03And boom, Mankind catches, look at Mankind now.
01:22:09Mankind had the hold on Michaels now, however, Helmsley knows.
01:22:13Helmsley trying to get the pedigree on him.
01:22:15Mankind back to the corner.
01:22:16Look like somebody just got mugged on the boardwalk.
01:22:23That doesn't happen in Atlantic City.
01:22:27Of course not.
01:22:29The Undertaker desperately trying to get to the match.
01:22:32Here we go.
01:22:40The Phenom is cooking.
01:22:42Undertaker now.
01:22:44One of the close lines.
01:22:45Off to Ralph, and drop.
01:22:47One, two, and four.
01:22:53The Phenom is cooking, and Shawn Michaels is conveniently out of the kitchen.
01:22:57Over the top to the outside.
01:22:59And Helms is in trouble.
01:23:00Wait a minute, Michaels has been caught.
01:23:02No.
01:23:02No.
01:23:03Yeah.
01:23:04What a right hand by The Undertaker.
01:23:11And Hilton's got a chair.
01:23:13Undertaker, now Shawn Michaels.
01:23:20Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:23:22Rude's on the chair, Rude's backing off.
01:23:28Get away, Rick.
01:23:29Get away.
01:23:31Rick Rude's in the ring.
01:23:37The Undertaker's gonna follow him.
01:23:40Undertaker now just might get his hands on Rick Rude.
01:23:43And now he has his round sleeve and his grip goes on.
01:23:46No.
01:23:58My God, what a shot to the face.
01:24:00Look at that chair.
01:24:01Michaels is dead in the chair.
01:24:03Try Michaels, an obvious disqualification.
01:24:09There he goes, with The Undertaker.
01:24:13Get out.
01:24:14And The Undertaker's been busting wide open.
01:24:19Undertaker, no.
01:24:22Stay with us ladies and gentlemen, no, we'll be back.
01:24:53That was the chair that was used, ladies and gentlemen, by Shawn Michaels.
01:24:56And that was intentional.
01:24:58We'll show you some of these shots now.
01:24:59Look at this.
01:25:01This is nothing but assault.
01:25:03Nothing more than an assault by Shawn Michaels.
01:25:09Unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen.
01:25:12Ground zero, there will be hell to pay.
01:25:15do
01:25:22Much.
01:25:23Wasn't it.
01:25:24Yeah.
01:25:25Yeah.
01:25:26Yeah.
