00:00:00Sean Michaels, you have not defended your European title in over 60 days.
00:00:09I will defend this title against anybody, anywhere, anytime.
00:00:16Your opponent tonight will be Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
00:00:23Last week, it appeared that Commissioner Slaughter had succeeded in commencing the destruction of D-Generation X.
00:00:28But out of nowhere, Owen Hart launched a preemptive strike.
00:00:43D-Generation X cried conspiracy between Owen Hart and Commissioner Slaughter,
00:00:47but the dirtiest players in the game refused to be one-upped.
00:00:50DX set out to deliver a hefty dose of embarrassment and humiliation,
00:00:55not only to Sgt. Slaughter, but to the entire World Wrestling Federation.
00:00:59It was a ruse, a ploy, a plot, a plan, a charade, a conspiracy, a sham.
00:01:05We've been conned, hoodwinked, bamboozled, wimplinked, and the wolf pulled over our eyes even.
00:01:10It was Sgt. Hunter!
00:01:12Hunter! Hunter! Hunter! Hunter!
00:01:16However, will Sgt. Slaughter get the last laugh after ordering Triple H
00:01:21to defend his European title tonight against Owen Hart.
00:01:24What could D-Generation X have planned next?
00:01:29But up next, the Rattlesnake plans to throw the book, the Book of Austin,
00:01:33at the artist formerly known as Goldust.
00:01:35That's coming up next, right here tonight on WWF Raw.
00:01:40The Rattlesnake…
00:01:48….
00:01:58….
00:02:03To the dark and not enough sky
00:02:12What have I the thought in your heart?
00:02:33Hello again everybody and welcome to the final edition of 1997 for
00:02:59WWF Draw, we are so loud in Uniondale, Long Island,
00:03:05the Nassau Coliseum, Jim Ross, Michael Cole, and Kevin Kelly here at ringside.
00:03:11And what a night, ladies and gentlemen,
00:03:13you have selected to join us here on the USA Network.
00:03:18Thousands of people jam-packing the Nassau Coliseum.
00:03:21They have turned fans away at the door.
00:03:24What a show tonight.
00:03:29And we're gonna kick things off with the artist formerly known as Goldust.
00:03:34Now that's what you call a New Year's baby and his lady, I reckon.
00:03:38The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 20 minute time limit.
00:03:42Making his way to the ring ring accompanied by Luna from Hollywood,
00:03:45California, weighing in at 260 pounds, the artist formerly known as Goldust.
00:03:53Last week it was a Christmas tree, this week a New Year baby.
00:03:58I'd say baby needs new shoes.
00:03:59Goldust will express himself in beach.
00:04:07Look at that diaper that Goldust is wearing.
00:04:11Probably full.
00:04:13First of all, my little angel and I would like to wish you all a happy new year.
00:04:25Where's Nathan Lane when you need him?
00:04:27Secondly, as a New Year's present, as my New Year's present to you people,
00:04:34I would like to go on the record by saying that I am putting my name in the 1988 Royal Rumble.
00:04:45I also know that Stone Cold Steve Austin will be in the Royal Rumble.
00:04:51Austin's gonna be here momentarily.
00:04:53Now, he's always talking, saying he's the toughest SOB in the World Wrestling Federation.
00:05:06I believe he is, it's my vote.
00:05:09Goo Goo Gaga.
00:05:11Well, I know for a fact that I am the toughest SOB in the World Wrestling Federation.
00:05:18Please.
00:05:19And we'll prove it tonight.
00:05:20Can you imagine having that in your cradle?
00:05:23Because after spanking Steve Austin's ass right here, right now,
00:05:30I've got a little present for him myself.
00:05:34Can you imagine what Austin's gonna do to this man?
00:05:36No.
00:05:37What is that?
00:05:38What is that?
00:05:41See, Steve?
00:05:45You and I can play dress up.
00:05:48I'll be your Barbie girl, and you can be my big kin.
00:05:52So why don't you just get in your little pink Corvette and drive you the last down here.
00:05:57Let's get it on.
00:05:59I don't think the Texas Rattlesnake's gonna like that one.
00:06:02All right, here we go.
00:06:02And here's the opponent from Victoria, Texas, weighing in at 252 pounds,
00:06:15Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:06:19Stone Cold Steve Austin on his way to the ring to open a can of you-know-what on Golda.
00:06:25Austin on January the 18th on his way to the Bay Area, San Jose, California for the 1998 Royal Rumble.
00:06:34And in my book, Austin is the man to beat.
00:06:38Austin dressed for combat tonight.
00:06:44What an ovation for the Texas Rattlesnake, Stone Cold.
00:06:48Goldaust may be sucking that pacifier before tonight's over.
00:06:51He already is.
00:06:53Goldaust may be tilted on Austin's fist before this night is over.
00:07:03Wanting to play dress up.
00:07:05I can't see Stone Cold putting them on.
00:07:08I got a few things I want to say, so you just sit there and suck your little pacifier.
00:07:15Everyone's talking about New Year's resolutions.
00:07:18I really don't believe in resolutions myself.
00:07:21In 97, I damn near got paralyzed and brought my ass back to this very ring.
00:07:28In 1998, it rolls around and Stone Cold Steve Austin is still here.
00:07:33So that means the language, the fingers, you know which two I'm talking about,
00:07:40and the violence continues because I damn sure am the toughest SOB here.
00:07:49Amen to that.
00:07:50Since you're such a big piece of trash.
00:07:54No, let me rephrase that.
00:07:57Since you're such a big piece of crap, I ain't gonna wrestle your sorry ass out here.
00:08:01I got something special for you, so go ahead and bring it down right now.
00:08:07A little New Year's present, I guess, for the New Year's baby.
00:08:10Austin looking up in the lights here.
00:08:12What's this?
00:08:13You truly are a pathetic sight with your little bonnet on.
00:08:17Baby New Year.
00:08:22What is this coming down to the ceiling?
00:08:25That's the bottom line.
00:08:26You can never do nothing about it.
00:08:28Bring it on down.
00:08:29He'll hit that.
00:08:30Hit it in high gear.
00:08:31I ain't got all night.
00:08:32Kevin, any idea what's coming down from the ceiling?
00:08:35None whatsoever.
00:08:36Steve Austin does what he wants when he wants.
00:08:40Royal Rumble comes along.
00:08:42You might not even make it, son.
00:08:44Last year they designed, they didn't let me get a shot at the title.
00:08:47Give me the damn rope, punk.
00:08:48I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get a shot this year.
00:08:52You can damn well bet.
00:08:54And I ain't gonna wrestle you because I do what I want when I want.
00:08:56This is what I got for you.
00:08:57What is this?
00:09:04A little after Christmas present, perhaps.
00:09:08A huge object.
00:09:10Has been lowered from the ceiling.
00:09:13Stone Cold has gone to a lot of trouble, apparently, to present this surprise to
00:09:20Goldust, or I should say the artist formerly known as Goldust.
00:09:25Unhook the damn thing and get your ass out of the ring.
00:09:29I ain't in a real good mood.
00:09:31Obviously not.
00:09:33No, he's in a consistent mood.
00:09:34Same as always.
00:09:36Goldust outside the ring with Luna.
00:09:37They're trying to figure out what it is as well.
00:09:42Goldust really looks perplexed.
00:09:46Pulling the damn thing out of the way.
00:09:51Intricate wrapping job.
00:09:52No.
00:09:55An outhouse.
00:09:58A porta John.
00:09:59That's exactly what you think it is.
00:10:02And four out of five construction workers I surveyed said it stunk like hell when they
00:10:07were inside today.
00:10:09I guess we're going for a tour.
00:10:12If you think it stinks like hell in here, give me a hell yeah.
00:10:17What was that?
00:10:18In case you didn't hear, they said, hell yeah.
00:10:27One way or the other, your ass is going in tonight.
00:10:30So it could be the easy way or it could be the hard way.
00:10:33I really don't care.
00:10:34But if I say you're going to get in this thing.
00:10:36He's on the other side.
00:10:37You're damn sure going to get in it.
00:10:38And that's the bottom line.
00:10:40So.
00:10:41No.
00:10:43Austin just ran the door around Goldust's face.
00:10:45It's still cold now.
00:10:47The rattlesnake opening up on Goldust.
00:10:50Back body drop.
00:10:53Clothesline.
00:10:55The Texas rattlesnake on fire.
00:11:00Watch out.
00:11:01I think it's a potty break time for Goldust.
00:11:05And here he goes.
00:11:06No.
00:11:08I guess that's where Austin thinks Goldust belongs.
00:11:11Inside that porta potty.
00:11:12Exactly where you go when you mess with Stone Cold.
00:11:16And that's the bottom line.
00:11:18Cause Stone Cold said something.
00:11:23No.
00:11:25Goldust stunned by Austin.
00:11:27What a mess that's got to be in there.
00:11:31And he's gonna sit down and take a seat.
00:11:33Look out.
00:11:34Don't squeeze the Charmin while you're in there.
00:11:40Lord knows what Goldust is swimming in.
00:11:42That's the worst kimono from the whoop ass I ever opened.
00:11:45And it damn sure ain't the last.
00:11:47I think there's gonna be plenty of whoop ass opened in 1998 by the Rattlesnake.
00:11:52Gold call Steve Austin.
00:11:55In line with the favorite to win the 1998 Royal Rumble.
00:12:00The one thing starts perfectly clear.
00:12:03It's every man for himself on January the 18th in San Jose.
00:12:08Luda desperately trying to get Goldust out of that outhouse.
00:12:12Well, this is a pretty auspicious start for tonight's live broadcast.
00:12:22We're gonna end 1997 with a huge bang.
00:12:27And certainly not the way Baby New Year wanted to begin.
00:12:32Out of a smelly situation for the artist formerly known as Goldust.
00:12:36Here's what happened now Stone Cold as Goldust snuck up behind him.
00:12:40He slammed the door in his face.
00:12:41But it didn't end there.
00:12:43Because while Goldust thought maybe he had an opportunity to come out,
00:12:47who was able to greet him?
00:12:48Stone Cold Stunner style.
00:12:50And then Goldust went right back into the Port-A-John.
00:12:54That was all she wrote for the artist formerly known as Goldust.
00:12:58Fresh from a construction site nearby the Nassau Coliseum.
00:13:04Goldust being held back to the, I guess, locker room area by Luna.
00:13:09Happy holidays, everybody.
00:13:10Welcome to WWF Raw.
00:13:12Michael Cole, Kevin Kelly, good old JR.
00:13:14Speaking of crates, I wanna know what's in that crate up on the stage.
00:13:18We're gonna find out tonight what is in that huge crate up on the stage.
00:13:22And certainly, in addition to all the other big stories going on tonight, one-on-one,
00:13:27Mankind will take on one half of the New Age Outlaws.
00:13:30That's Road Dogg, certainly gonna be a physical war.
00:13:33Also, there is a plot against Kane.
00:13:36Eight WWF superstars plotting against Kane.
00:13:39It's gonna happen tonight.
00:13:40Could it be the end of The Undertaker's younger brother?
00:13:43And, folks, the European title will be on the line tonight.
00:13:46Hunter Hearst Helmsley defends against Owen Hart,
00:13:49the match made by Commissioner Slaughter last week.
00:13:51Plus, folks, this is a blockbuster.
00:13:53What's going on between the WWF and the baddest man on the planet, Mike Tyson?
00:13:59We'll tell you more right here tonight.
00:14:02Folks, WWF Raw, what action?
00:14:05We'll be back in just a bit.
00:14:06Welcome back to WWF Raw, everybody.
00:14:27Los Paniquas heading to the ring for a Long Island with DOA.
00:14:32This feud between Los Paniquas and DOA has been going on now for many months.
00:14:54It all started back in July in San Antonio, Texas, a brawl outside the arena.
00:14:58Certainly did, and it ended, this situation ended back in July with the destruction
00:15:03of one of the beautiful Titan Motorcycles.
00:15:05There you see, dragged behind the car of the Mariquas.
00:15:08The chase was on, but the fight has not ended today.
00:15:10And this feud continued into bad blood in October, then in D-Generation X in your house.
00:15:16And here comes DOA.
00:15:18Skull 8, Fallen Chains, of course, arriving on those beautiful Titan Motorcycles.
00:15:36There is no fighter motorcycle machine made today, Michael Cole, and a Titan fight.
00:15:50You wanna talk about customized beauty, it's right there.
00:15:53Anybody can own one.
00:15:54It's for real motorcycle enthusiasts, though.
00:15:56This is a Long Island run.
00:15:57Look out, all six men in the ring at the same time.
00:16:00Anything goes, and it's going right now.
00:16:02Los Paniquas diving out of the ring right on top of DOA, and here we go now.
00:16:07Six men in the ring all at the same time.
00:16:10Savio Vega goes to work on chains and the only two men in the ring.
00:16:13A Fallen Skull, Miguel Perez, and also Jesus Castillo outside the ring.
00:16:17Right here in front of us, watch out.
00:16:19Look out now.
00:16:20A big right hand.
00:16:22Conspicuous by his absence tonight, JR Crush.
00:16:25Crush was eliminated from the DOA, thanks to Kane.
00:16:28And I think after the beating that Kane, he flipped it on Crush,
00:16:31and he dropped him on his head.
00:16:32Crush decided he didn't wanna be in the WWE.
00:16:34Jesus Castillo with a chair right into the head of Skull.
00:16:39And JR, certainly there seems to be some kind of story brewing with the men who
00:16:43have been victimized by Kane.
00:16:44No doubt about that.
00:16:46We know that there are seven men from what we understand, including these three men of
00:16:49DOA that are conspiring to take their revenge on Kane right here tonight.
00:16:55We'll see if that develops.
00:16:58Anything goes, there's the first cover, but a chair from behind.
00:17:01It's a human demolition derby here.
00:17:04I think it's gonna be just about impossible for referee Mike Chioda to keep all this action straight.
00:17:08Los Paniquas seem to have the upper hand early.
00:17:11DOA now trying to take control.
00:17:14In the corner, Savio Vega at eight ball.
00:17:17In this Long Island brawl, Miguel Perez and Skull.
00:17:20In the other corner, it's Kane's working on Savio Vega.
00:17:23One ball, no time limit, no disqualification, but there must be a win.
00:17:28This is a feud, as we documented, has been brewing for months.
00:17:32This past weekend on Shotgun Saturday Night, Los Paniquas in a battle with the
00:17:36Headbangers.
00:17:36At the end of the matchup, it was 4-on-2, and DOA came from out of nowhere,
00:17:40with two by fours to clean out the ring.
00:17:42To the left of the announced position, Jose Estrada in street clothes.
00:17:45The fourth member of Los Paniquas not in competition tonight, but
00:17:49don't be surprised if he gets involved.
00:17:50It gives Los Paniquas that one-man advantage, and in the home of the New York Islanders,
00:17:55those one-man advantages can really come to play.
00:17:57I'll tell you what, though, DOA, three out of four, I may take them any day of the week.
00:18:02Three tough operas.
00:18:04Kane's now outside the ring with Jesus Castillo headfirst into that pole.
00:18:07Man, anything goes here, just like you're gonna see at the Royal Rumble.
00:18:10It's every man for himself, and you gotta believe Stone Cold Steve Austin,
00:18:14who introduced an outhouse here, already here tonight.
00:18:17Who knows what else Austin's gonna do tonight?
00:18:19There's absolutely no telling, but you gotta believe, gentlemen, that the other 29 men are gonna have
00:18:23Stone Cold Steve Austin in their sights in San Jose on January the 18th.
00:18:28We also definitely know in that Royal Rumble over the top rope, Battle Royal,
00:18:32the winner to face the champion at WrestleMania, Ken Shamrock will be involved.
00:18:36Also, the artist formerly known as Goldust.
00:18:39And now look, here's Jose on the outside.
00:18:43Jose helping Savio, Savio dumped over the top rope, may have twisted his knee, I'm not sure.
00:18:48Meanwhile, inside the ring, it's three on two, DOA with control.
00:18:52Wait a minute, there's Jose in there, Jose's not even the legal man.
00:18:58He can't, he's not even supposed to be in this match.
00:19:00I don't think referee Mike Quijota has a clue that Estrada's not supposed to be in there.
00:19:04He does have a clue, it's a lack of institutional control, in my opinion.
00:19:08That's one of the things that the World Wrestling Federation needs to tighten up on.
00:19:11And here's Savio now on the apron of the ring.
00:19:13He hit Jose with a big kick, and
00:19:16Change knocks Vega off the apron.
00:19:18Change hooks the line.
00:19:19There's the cover, there's two, it's over.
00:19:21DoA win it.
00:19:22DoA win it.
00:19:23DoA win it.
00:19:24Here are the winners, disciples of the Lickalicks.
00:19:29Nobody said it was gonna be pretty in this long island street fight.
00:19:33And this rivalry between the DoA and Luis Puerto Rico is far from over, folks.
00:19:39Savio Vega inadvertently hitting his partner Jose Estrada.
00:19:43Change covering him up.
00:19:44The Disciples of the Apocalypse, Victorious Conroe.
00:19:49And the Roar of the Titan fights will lead the Victorious DLA out of the arena tonight.
00:19:54Still to come here tonight, folks, we will find out what is in that huge crate on the stage.
00:19:59I can't wait, I might go up there with a crowbar and open it myself.
00:20:02Yeah, go ahead and do it.
00:20:03Plus, folks, still to come, the European title match.
00:20:06Triple H defends against Owen Hart.
00:20:09But ladies and gentlemen, next, he's the greatest phenom in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.
00:20:13The Undertaker will be with us next.
00:20:16And you know, folks, where you see The Undertaker, Kane usually isn't far behind.
00:20:23Welcome back to WWF Raw.
00:20:25Tonight Raw is brought to you by Burger King.
00:20:27Try the delicious new Burger King fries on free Friday, January 2nd.
00:20:32Ladies and gentlemen, we're scheduled to hear from The Undertaker.
00:20:34But Triple H from D-Generation X is in the ring with crutches and an e-brick.
00:20:39He's supposed to defend the European title right here tonight against Owen Hart.
00:20:43Well, certainly it appears that Helmsley has some kind of knee injury.
00:20:49This is news to all of us.
00:20:50Hopefully Triple H can clear this all up for us.
00:20:55You know, I'm sorry to inform you, and I know this is going to be a huge disappointment to all my legions of fans around the world.
00:21:08But Triple H is not going to be able to defend his coveted European title tonight.
00:21:20Because in a match last night, I dislocated my kneecap.
00:21:25What?
00:21:34As I was saying in a match last night, I dislocated my kneecap.
00:21:42So as big of a disappointment as it is to all these people, Owen Hart, I know it's even bigger to you.
00:21:49So, pal, you're just going to have to wait for me to stomp your guts in.
00:21:56And as far as disappointments go, Undertaker, dead man, scary man.
00:22:06Undertaker, Shawn Michaels is not here because he's home with 102 degree temperature.
00:22:13And he's shivering.
00:22:17And he's sweating.
00:22:19He's got the whole sick thing going.
00:22:21Oh, yeah, he does.
00:22:22Maybe it's fear.
00:22:24So Shawn Michaels is not going to be here either.
00:22:26So, dead man, you're just going to have to wait until the Royal Rumble to rest in pieces.
00:22:35What is this?
00:22:36Look out.
00:22:37Triple H better hobble his way out of the ring.
00:22:39I don't think he wants to be in there.
00:22:40But the Fidon comes down.
00:22:43Hop along, Helmsley, better move along, if you can't get along.
00:22:51Yeah, just great.
00:22:56The Undertaker's set to meet Shawn Michaels on January 18th.
00:23:01Helmsley remaining in the ring with Chyna.
00:23:03Great.
00:23:04And at the Royal Rumble.
00:23:05Yeah, that's good, yeah.
00:23:07In a casket match, The Undertaker versus Shawn Michaels for the WWF Championship.
00:23:12Speaking of caskets.
00:23:13What is this?
00:23:16The Undertaker apparently being wheeled down to the ring in a casket.
00:23:21We've seen this from The Undertaker before.
00:23:23A very dramatic way to emphasize the symbolism.
00:23:27The perils of the casket match that will await Shawn Michaels.
00:23:30The WWF Championship in peril January 18th at the Royal Rumble.
00:23:35Shawn Michaels, whether he's homesick or not, is going to have his eyes glued to the television set to see what The Undertaker has to say when he gets out of that casket.
00:23:43You don't think that's the blue blue, do you, JR?
00:23:46I tell you what, I never know what to think from DX anymore.
00:23:54All I know is that The Undertaker, in my view, will be the next WWF Champion because
00:24:00it's The Undertaker's match, a casket match in San Jose on Sunday, January the 18th.
00:24:07And if Helmsley decides to stay in this ring, I gotta believe he's in some trouble here.
00:24:11Triple H and China yet to leave the ring.
00:24:16China stepping in front of the injured Triple H.
00:24:19Great, great, yeah.
00:24:27Good, good thing.
00:24:28Yeah, pick on a gimp.
00:24:29Very good.
00:24:30Now, you know, I can't defend myself, so I guess there's only one thing left to do.
00:24:36Break it down.
00:24:37What?
00:24:40What is this?
00:24:42That's Shawn Michaels.
00:24:43Oh, yeah, they got us again.
00:24:45It was Shawn Michaels and that The Undertaker's casket.
00:24:51Desecrating the spirit of the casket.
00:24:55Well, I hope HBK got comfortable in there because he may be spending some time in there.
00:24:59January 18th at the Royal Rumble.
00:25:01D-Generation X once again pulling shenanigans here on WWF Raw.
00:25:17Shawn and Hunter are the masters of the gains of one, Upsmanship, and it continues again.
00:25:22D-Generation X would like to bring in the new year with style.
00:25:36Now, I know if it were up to the World Wrestling Federation, they'd have had the Heartbreak Kid
00:25:44rolled out here in a casket with two skanks.
00:25:47But seeing as that the Heartbreak Kid only dates the finest women, one of which is in Venice, California,
00:25:57I'd rather come out here alone than come out here with two ugly bimbos.
00:26:03But what I would like to do is introduce the two newest members of D-Generation X.
00:26:13What, major announcement perhaps?
00:26:16And they are right here.
00:26:19Okay.
00:26:21Whoa!
00:26:23Now everybody knows that Chyna is not only the toughest woman in the World Wrestling Federation,
00:26:33but she is now the breast damn woman in town.
00:26:38Wow!
00:26:40You know, Shawn, if Chyna had a nipple for every time somebody said she was the breast looking
00:26:44woman here, she'd be a millionaire.
00:26:48But I think we might have to change our name to Double D-Generation X.
00:26:54The hero himself, laugh while you can.
00:26:59Somewhat of a degrading attitude, what else is new?
00:27:10Hi, Mom!
00:27:11Are these things on?
00:27:14You're the best, Shawn!
00:27:20Now, Owen Hart, you are damn lucky that my partner Triple H is injured right now.
00:27:29But don't you worry, in due time he will be better.
00:27:33And Triple H will rid the World Wrestling Federation of that tiny little nugget.
00:27:41And at the Royal Rumble, Undertaker, you have tried once, you have tried twice,
00:27:56and now out of the goodness of my heart, the Heartbreak Kid is gonna give you the third and
00:28:05final chance at the World Wrestling Federation Championship only for you to be denied for the
00:28:14third time to the three-time World Wrestling Federation Champion, the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.
00:28:25That remains to be seen, of course.
00:28:29You know, I just feel like something about us connects.
00:28:33I mean, I can talk to you.
00:28:35You understand me, and you know how much I respect you as a woman.
00:28:38Yeah, anyway.
00:28:421998 is gonna be the year of the Generation X.
00:28:49And absolutely nobody, and I mean nobody, is gonna crash our party.
00:28:59I'll tell you who may crash the party coming down the ramp, Commissioner Slaughter.
00:29:04Boy.
00:29:18Here comes Sarge, the horny old man, wants to look at Ty in his new breasts.

00:31:51scientific style match the belly-to-belly suplex though would spell the end leading to the inevitable
00:31:57the ankle lock submission smartly applied and another member of the nation plays taps for ken
00:32:02shamrock ken shamrock victorious last week on raw against d-low brown
00:32:08shamrock now has a chance to take on kama mustafa from the nation this week
00:32:13and making his way to the ring from sacramento california weighing in at 243 pounds the world's most
00:32:21dangerous man ken shamrock and of course shamrock will meet the rock with the intercontinental title
00:32:37at the royal rumble on january the 18th but when you talk about titles gentlemen i've been around this
00:32:43game a long time and i got a feeling down in the pit of my stomach that this will be owen hart's night
00:32:49because tonight folks right here on raw tonight owen hart will face sean michaels for the wwf
00:32:57championship it cannot get any bigger than tonight here in uniondale long island sean michaels with the
00:33:03wwf title on the line will not have hunter hurst helmsley to assist him helmsley physically incapable

00:33:54of weight to kama i don't think shamrock cares he knows no fear nice takedown shamrock going for the
00:34:01ankle lock there couldn't get it executed and and kama mustafa at about six feet eight able to get into the
00:34:06ropes nice takedown by shamrock that time into the side headlock shamrock can strike from so many
00:34:11directions i've got to question the wisdom of the rock challenging shamrock putting the intercontinental
00:34:16title on the line for the rumble d-low from behind and there's the big elbow across the back by kama
00:34:20unfair advantage now gained by the nation of domination indeed there is strength in numbers
00:34:25as the leader of the nation farooq is uh overseeing his charges here you gotta wonder where the
00:34:30shamrock is and look at the power of kama mustafa big backbreaker down across the day and kama mustafa
00:34:38firmly in control now of ken shamrock shamrock the king of the octagon perhaps the greatest ultimate
00:34:45fighting champion of all time some may argue it's dan the beast severum but in any event shamrock is a
00:34:50man among men and he is being tested here kama mustafa pounding away whipping shamrock across the ring but
00:34:57kama fell down no what velocity michael really driving him home shamrock right now many people's

00:41:36friend brian christopher came to the ring it's all about two on one advantage here and the light
00:41:41Taka Minchinoku is in the ring and ready, but I can't, who is his partner?
00:41:47I cannot wait to find out.
00:41:48Taka will have a mystery partner tonight.
00:41:50Ladies and gentlemen, Taka's mystery partner,
00:41:55World Wrestling Federation Hall of Famer, George the Animal Steel.
00:42:03I don't believe it.
00:42:04Wow.
00:42:05The animal is alive and well.
00:42:08This place has come unglued.
00:42:11There's no fancy music, no pyro.
00:42:17And the old Hall of Famer is here, the unorthodox one.
00:42:21Free tongue and all.
00:42:26And there goes the King and Christopher out of the ring.
00:42:29George the Animal Steel, the team up tonight with Taka Minchinoku.
00:42:33Who says fur isn't fashionable in 1997?
00:42:35Yeah.
00:42:36Trademark the Animal eating that turnbuckle.
00:42:42And how in the hell is Taka and the Animal gonna communicate?
00:42:46And a double team quickly on Taka from the King and Bryan Christopher as Steel destroys
00:42:52another turnbuckle.
00:42:53And Bryan Christopher is attempting to destroy the light heavyweight champion, Taka Minchinoku.
00:42:58And I do know that a return match of the light heavyweight title between Taka and
00:43:02Bryan Christopher has been signed.
00:43:05So this could be a sign, if you will, of things to come.
00:43:08Nice take down that time by Bryan Christopher.
00:43:11And while the selection of George the Animal Steel, an emotional favorite,
00:43:15I'm not so sure it's a smart one for Taka.
00:43:18George has never been accused of being the most focused WWF superstar.
00:43:22Christopher backs Taka now into the ropes, whips him across the ring.
00:43:24Here he comes now, big back body drop.
00:43:27The light heavyweight champion in trouble.
00:43:29Of course, it was Taka who defeated Bryan Christopher at D-Generation X in your house
00:43:33earlier in the month.
00:43:34But when you talk about titles, there is only one title in this game that is at the top of
00:43:38the mountain, everybody that's in the game knows it, and that's the WWF title.
00:43:43And it will be decided live here tonight.
00:43:46Shawn Michaels, Owen Hart, get it on tonight.
00:43:49Taka High Flyer, here we go now.
00:43:51Taka is going for a Hurricanrana blocked into a powerbomb.
00:43:56Good move by Bryan Christopher.
00:43:58And Two Sexy now in control.
00:44:01Let's Taka up.
00:44:04Taka though with a nice reversal.
00:44:06Off the ropes down.
00:44:07Spinning Hill kick.
00:44:08His resiliency is incredible.
00:44:10Taka and Shinoku somehow back on his feet.
00:44:13Shinoku with a slam now of Bryan Christopher.
00:44:16And he says that's it, he's gonna go to the top ropes.
00:44:18The high rent district for Taka, he connected.
00:44:21Moonsault, it's over.
00:44:22It could be it, he hooks the leg.
00:44:23Lawler's reaching into his tights.
00:44:26No. Lawler has something in his right hand.
00:44:28No doubt about it, Lawler has something in his right hand.
00:44:31And prevented Taka from scoring the pinfall.
00:44:35Referee Jim Corderas was administering to George the Animal Steel.
00:44:38And the two on one again from the family from Memphis.
00:44:42Lawler going up to the top rope now.
00:44:44King's gonna execute a moonsault.
00:44:46He's gonna get a nosebleed up there.
00:44:48And the animal just came in and nailed Bryan Christopher.
00:44:52And I think the animal's got something in his hand.
00:44:54What'd he do?
00:44:57The animal, Kenny Christopher from behind.
00:45:00The King can't believe it.
00:45:01And he takes out his frustration on Taka and Shinoku.
00:45:05Can you believe that Lawler was even entertaining the thought of executing a moonsault?
00:45:10Taka desperately trying to make a tag now to George the Animal Steel.
00:45:15Can he get there?
00:45:16Lawler again put something in his right hand.
00:45:19You saw him put it back into his tights.
00:45:20Lawler is using some sort of object it would seem for an unfair advantage.
00:45:26And George the Animal has got- George the Animal Steel's got some sort of object in his right hand.
00:45:33Right into the throat of Bryan Christopher and Jerry the King Lawler.
00:45:37I think the animal, I think the animal, somebody has been disqualified, I think.
00:45:43The Animal cleaning house.
00:45:44We're gonna wait for the official decision now.
00:45:50Lawler and Bryan Christopher scattering.
00:45:53The WWF Hall of Famer, George the Animal Steel, looking for something else to nosh on.
00:45:59Well, something's never changed.
00:46:04Watch out.
00:46:07Cold drink anyone?
00:46:09What's he doing?
00:46:12Anything he wants.
00:46:14Absolutely.
00:46:15And now referee Jim Cordero, look out.
00:46:25How many times has that question been asked if George the Animal Steel his career?
00:46:32Well, folks, thanks for watching Raw tonight.

00:46:54Plus, his minutes may be numbered.
00:46:56I'm speaking of Kane, WWF superstars have plotted, and
00:47:00tonight they could very well indeed extinguish Kane's flame.
00:47:04And last week, the New Age Outlaws had Mankind chilling.
00:47:07But Mankind will meet the Road Dog next.
00:47:11And folks, coming up on The War Zone, we're gonna find out what is in that-

00:48:44We are live in Uniondale, Long Island.
00:48:56The Nassau Coliseum is absolutely sold out.
00:48:59Fans have been turned away for the last war zone of 1997.
00:49:05Along with everybody, I'm Jim Ross alongside Jerry the King Lawler.
00:49:10What more could happen here tonight?
00:49:12We've already seen Stone Cold Steve Austin introduce Golda to an Owl House.
00:49:17Yeah, and you get to see good old BC, Brian Christopher and the King beat up on Takamichi Noku.
00:49:23And that George the animal steal, where did he dig him up from?
00:49:26I don't think your son has seen the last of Takamichi Noku.
00:49:29And maybe you haven't seen the last of the animal.
00:49:31Well, forget all that, tell me more about Mike Tyson.
00:49:34We're gonna have more of the Mike Tyson WWF situation in this hour, ladies and gentlemen.
00:49:39Plus, the WWF Championship will be decided here tonight.
00:49:42Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart live tonight.
00:49:46You're gonna have to call somebody.
00:49:48The World Wrestling Federation proudly brings to you live and in living color.
00:49:59No, it's not the Williams boys, it's the New Age Outlaws.
00:50:05I'm the Road Dog, Jesse James.
00:50:07The man behind me is a badass for sure, he's Billy Gunn.
00:50:12Please don't change that channel, because what is up next is pure carnage.
00:50:19You see, I'd like now for them in the back to cue off a few of the New Age Outlaws' greatest hits.
00:50:34Get it up on the Titan Tron.
00:50:36I know everybody, whoa, what a chair shot.
00:50:39Dude love, you see me wrapping around his head.
00:50:42Look at there, from the Raptor, whoa, right on our tag tick.
00:50:46Ooh, that's gonna leave a mark.
00:50:48Hey, he's gonna rack up some frequent flyer miles on that one.
00:50:53Look at there, and I thought, badass, I thought for sure we taught him his lesson at the New Age Outlaws cake party.
00:51:02But he didn't win his lesson, unlike the Kylanders, we know what to do with these sticks.
00:51:19They're the smallest baby boy.
00:51:20Ooh, New Age Outlaws, we are in Long Island.
00:51:25And as you know, a few short weeks ago, you broke the dude's ribs.
00:51:29But more than that, Denny's, you broke the dude's heart because I saw something in you two cats.
00:51:35Maybe a future with the three of us shocking and jiving.
00:51:39But then the two of you did not play by the rules.
00:51:43You see, the dude stands for peace, love, and understanding.
00:51:47And I went 0 for 3 against you two cats.
00:51:50So the dude is gonna step down and let another cat do his fighting for it.
00:51:55Because that dude may have mercy, but this other cat will not.
00:52:00Ow!
00:52:03Thanks, dude.
00:52:04Because I've been looking forward to this for a long time.
00:52:08Because although my body has now fought out, my heart remains frozen.
00:52:14Which is bad news for the New Age Outlaws.
00:52:17But then I got to thinking that maybe the New Age Outlaws didn't commit a crime.
00:52:25Maybe they gave me a favor.
00:52:28Because it's all starting to make perfect sense.
00:52:31We're in Long Island.
00:52:33I'm on raw as war.
00:52:35And Mrs. Foley's little boy is finally home.
00:52:40There's no place like home.
00:52:43There's no place like home.
00:52:45New Age Outlaws, I know what you're thinking.
00:52:48My name's not Dorothy, and I don't wear ruby red slippers.
00:52:52Well, right you are.
00:52:54Because I'm Cactus Jack, and my shoes will be the ones that are kicking your ass.
00:53:00And Mom, I know what you're thinking.
00:53:02You're out there in the Coliseum right now with your eyes closed.
00:53:05Because you're afraid some harm is gonna come to your little boy.
00:53:09Because it's two on one.
00:53:11Well, open those eyes, Mom.
00:53:13Because I've got help.
00:53:15Chainsaw Charlie's here.
00:53:17And as for you two boys, well, you've got a surprise for me.
00:53:20Well, I've got a surprise for you.
00:53:22Pick me!
00:53:24Cactus Jack!
00:53:48Look at that, Ross!
00:53:49Cactus Jack, Mr. Bang Bang is here!
00:53:53New Age Outlaws bought hockey sticks, and they come unarmed.
00:53:56And that's a double team on Cactus Jack.
00:53:59And they're right in front of us, just mugging Cactus Jack.
00:54:03Unbelievable, Cactus Jack comes to the ring with a baseball wrapped in barbed wire.
00:54:08But it got knocked out of his hand before he got in the batter's box.
00:54:11This is a mandible claw.
00:54:15A mandible claw of both of them.
00:54:18Billy Goode and the Road Dog with Mankind's mandible claw.
00:54:22I guess Cactus Jack borrowed that move from Mankind, King.
00:54:26Unbelievable.
00:54:27What else are we gonna see happen here tonight, JR?
00:54:29Our best wishes to the Legion of Doom,
00:54:34Hawk and Animal, who are still healing from that heinous attack.
00:54:39We have been informed that the LOD at the Royal Rumble will meet Road Dog and Billy Gunn.
00:54:51And the WWE Tag Title in this one is not gonna be pretty.
00:54:55Well, I can assure you that New Age Outlaws aren't apologizing for anything.
00:54:59They're not out to win popularity contests.
00:55:01As a matter of fact, Road Dog Jesse James has been so unpopular.
00:55:04When he was in Vietnam, they were shooting at him from both sides.
00:55:06And he don't care.
00:55:07Watch this.
00:55:08Spin his Cactus Jack elbow drop right off the apron.
00:55:14I wanna ask you another question.
00:55:16Who's this Chainsaw Charlie character?
00:55:19I haven't got a clue.
00:55:20It may be another figment of Mick Foley's imagination.
00:55:24I don't have any idea.
00:55:26Cactus Jack, he's got more personalities than Sybil.
00:55:29Cactus Jack, the king of the death matches.
00:55:32He's been in block wire matches, bomb matches, thumb pack matches, if you can believe that.
00:55:37Look out.
00:55:38And a clothesline, both men up and over, right in front of us here at ringside.
00:55:42Look at this.
00:55:46Come on, come on now.
00:55:48The king of the death match, Cactus Jack.
00:55:50Now, wait a minute.
00:55:51He's got that with bar wire.
00:55:54Cactus Jack got that ball back.
00:56:00My God Almighty, good Lord, what a knock at us.
00:56:06What a, he's gotta have a concussion.
00:56:08That's gotta fracture his skull if he's got one.
00:56:11Two on one.
00:56:13Referee just letting this one go.
00:56:18It may be a no disqualification match for all I know.
00:56:21I have no idea.
00:56:22It might as well be.
00:56:24Well, the New Age Outlaws right here in the home of the Islanders coming the ring winner.
00:56:29DDT, that's gonna be over.
00:56:31And here comes the wrong dog.
00:56:33Ring the bell.
00:56:34Two men on one.
00:56:39The winner of this match is a result of a disqualification, Cactus Jack.
00:56:45Wait a minute.
00:56:46After barbed wire covered bats and chairs and hockey sticks, that's a disqualification?
00:56:52Referee's discretion.
00:56:53Cactus Jack is inviting the New Age Outlaws to follow him.
00:57:02Remember, it was Mankind that took that leap of fate right off the stage.
00:57:09Yeah, hadn't he had enough of that, he's gonna get dumped on his head again.
00:57:11Look at this.
00:57:12And the fight breaks out.
00:57:13Send him sailing, guys.
00:57:15Look out.
00:57:17Look out.
00:57:18Look out.
00:57:19.
00:57:20That's a chainsaw, right?
00:57:33I guess.
00:57:34And there's somebody damn sure in that crate.
00:57:36What is it?
00:57:41He's cutting himself a door, whoever it is.
00:57:43It might be Leatherface.
00:57:54Or it might be Tingsaw Charlie.
00:57:59Or all we know.
00:58:00Good Lord.
00:58:05My God, look out.
00:58:07That thing's out of control.
00:58:13That's a shack, and obviously Tingsaw Charlie.
00:58:26I'm getting out of here.
00:58:28Hell it is.
00:58:40And look up, they're the tag team champions.
00:58:43They're running, and for good reason.
00:58:47I'll tell you what, folks, I don't know what more can happen here tonight.
00:59:00We've seen outhouses, Tingsaw, and the WWF title.
00:59:04It's gonna be on the line.
00:59:06Shawn Michaels, Owen Hart, live tonight.
00:59:09We are live and sold out in the Nassau Coliseum.
00:59:15What haven't we seen tonight, King?
00:59:17I don't know.
00:59:18What about that?
00:59:19Whoa!
00:59:20We've gone from the ridiculous to the sublime.
00:59:24My gosh.
00:59:25They're coming to a slamming table.
00:59:27My special guest at this time, Sable.
00:59:33Folks, I can tell you that we're trying to catch up with Tingsaw Charlie,
00:59:38to get a word from those two men.
00:59:41And tell us a little bit about Mike Tyson, come on.
00:59:43The big Mike Tyson story is still to come here tonight.
00:59:46Plus the WWF Championship, on the line, tonight, live.
00:59:51Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart.
00:59:53And I got a good feeling, as far as our family is concerned.
00:59:58In my hand, I proudly hold the Raw Magazine, which goes on sale tomorrow.
01:00:04You and Sunny each adorning split covers to commemorate Raw going monthly.
01:00:10We couldn't be more proud to see your lovely face on the cover of this great magazine.
01:00:15But I understand that inside, you have even some better treats for all the fans.
01:00:21We'll find that out tomorrow.
01:00:22A real swimsuit edition, King.
01:00:23That's right, Kevin.
01:00:24You know, I'm very proud of the new Raw Swimsuit Edition that goes on sale tomorrow.
01:00:30And I just thought that I would give all my fans a special treat tonight.
01:00:37Uh-oh.
01:00:38I'm sure Kevin Kelly's gonna be holding that book for a long time.
01:00:41I thought that I would give you a preview of what to expect.
01:00:46That is, if you'd like to see it.
01:00:49Oh, yeah.
01:00:50Pull that ahead, please.
01:00:51But wait a minute.
01:00:52Wait, hold up.
01:00:53Oh, my gosh.
01:00:55That goes out.
01:00:58Marvelous Mark Merrow, the man that Sable manages.
01:01:02Marvelous Mark Merrow.
01:01:03I don't blame him.
01:01:08Hey, I'm just here for the show.
01:01:11If you don't mind, we'd like to finish this interview, if we could.
01:01:14You know, Sable, you weren't gonna do anything that might humiliate Marvelous Mark Merrow now, would you?
01:01:23You weren't gonna do nothing to say, piss me off now, would you, Sable?
01:01:30You know, these people came here to see me wrestle.
01:01:34Not you take those clothes off.
01:01:36Uh-oh.
01:01:37I'm the star here.
01:01:38Mark, take it easy.
01:01:41Mark, come on.
01:01:42Take it easy.
01:01:43I'm gonna starve.
01:01:44And if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be a No Magazine.
01:01:46You understand me?
01:01:47Mark, get a hold of yourself.
01:01:49You got a point there.
01:01:50Control yourself.
01:01:51Are you talking to me?
01:01:52You ain't nothing but a third string announcer, fat boy.
01:01:57Get out of my face.
01:01:58Come on, come on.
01:02:00My God.
01:02:01Come on.
01:02:03Now that's hideous.
01:02:05I told you I don't know Tom, you hit Merrow with a low call on Kevin Kelly.
01:02:10That makes Merrow a real tough guy, doesn't it?
01:02:13And now look at him verbally, verbally assault Sable.
01:02:17Look at this, look at this.
01:02:18Wait a minute.
01:02:19Tom Brandy's in here.
01:02:20And the big Italian Tom Brandy, who's had his share of problems with the Marvelous one.
01:02:27Wait a minute.
01:02:28Merrow, look at that.
01:02:29And a tear.
01:02:30And Merrow just nailed Brandy in the back of the head with a steel tear.
01:02:35What's he doing?
01:02:38Oh, no, that's TKO.
01:02:40No, no, no.
01:02:41No, no.
01:02:42Yeah.
01:02:43Whoa.
01:02:44Where was Mark the TKO on that tear?
01:02:47You want Sable?
01:02:48You want Sable?
01:02:50I'll give you Sable.
01:02:53Look at this.
01:02:56Here, you want to take Sable home tonight?
01:03:00Here, here's a little Sable for you.
01:03:02Come on.
01:03:03I, if I ever see any more posters or pictures or especially this magazine,
01:03:10would Sable on it.
01:03:11I'm gonna do what I did to him, to every one of you idiots.
01:03:15Whoa.
01:03:18Man, you talk about a guy that's got an inferiority complex.
01:03:22And a what?
01:03:23I'm the star of this show.
01:03:25See what I mean?
01:03:26What a classless act.
01:03:30I don't know what we're gonna see next, but I do know that we are gonna get to see a match tonight.
01:03:45That should be the main event on a pay-per-view.
01:03:47It's gonna be live right here.
01:03:49Shawn Michaels, the WWF Champion, is gonna defend against Owen Hart.
01:03:54And ladies and gentlemen, our exclusive information, a huge story is developing.
01:03:59Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet, and the WWF.
01:04:03What's going on?
01:04:04We're gonna tell you right here tonight.
01:04:06And folks, we're gonna be right back in just a, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:04:09Uh-oh.
01:04:11Seven angry men wanna take Kane apart.
01:04:15If this breaks out, we'll-
01:04:171-800-COLLECT proudly presents the WWF Royal Rumble.
01:04:23It's live Sunday, January 18th from San Jose, California.
01:04:271-800-COLLECT, the easy way to save.
01:04:34Well, seven angry men apparently awake Kane.
01:04:37Obviously, obviously Kane, week after week you come out here and you lay him in the middle of the ring.
01:04:46When you haven't been burnt, you think the Undertaker burnt you.
01:04:49Your brother, wait till your ass gets burnt by the DOA and the rest of the crew.
01:04:54So step on down to ramp, cause we're gonna put your damn fire out.
01:04:58What?
01:05:00You ask and you shall receive.
01:05:03So sayeth Kane.
01:05:05The seven foot younger brother of the Undertaker.
01:05:19It's finally going to happen tonight.
01:05:24Kane is going to get what he deserves.
01:05:27The destruction of Kane is imminent.
01:05:34Paul Bearer may have the baddest thing walking, but I don't think there's any human, or whatever he wants to call itself,
01:05:42that can stand up to seven superstars for the WWF at one time.
01:05:46But he's obviously gonna try.
01:05:49All these men in one way or another have had Kane devastate their professional career.
01:05:55Obviously the Undertaker is in the house.
01:06:12Seven angry men are surrounding Kane, but here comes the man.
01:06:19There's going to be eight men against Kane.
01:06:25Well, this is it, JR.
01:06:31It's the day of reckoning.
01:06:33You saw what happened last week.
01:06:35It's all coming to a head right now.
01:06:38Undoubtedly, this is going to be a death sentence for Kane,
01:06:41who just last week absolutely brutalized that man, the Undertaker,
01:06:47who has stood steadfast in his solemn vow that he would never, ever fight his brother.
01:06:53But maybe the time has come.
01:07:04Well, you gotta give Kane credit.
01:07:06He's standing his ground against eight men.
01:07:15The Undertaker destroyed seven men.
01:07:19And the destruction of Kane has to be a heartbeat away.
01:07:25What?
01:07:30What the hell?
01:07:32The Undertaker is fighting with his brother.
01:07:36What?
01:07:37They just cleared the ring.
01:07:38The Undertaker and his brother have cleared the ring.
01:07:44This is unbelievable.
01:07:46Look at the look of Shaq on Paul Bear's face.
01:07:49I don't believe this.
01:07:50I do not believe this.
01:07:51The Undertaker came to his brother's aim.
01:07:56That's all.
01:07:57The Undertaker came to help his brother.
01:08:00What in the heck is gonna happen?
01:08:07What else could happen?
01:08:09What else could happen?
01:08:10We could see a new WWE Champion, that's what could happen.
01:08:15I don't understand this, Kane.
01:08:17I still, I'm flabbergasted.
01:08:19I'm flabbergasted.
01:08:21Very perplexed here.
01:08:23That's Kane, the Undertaker's brother.
01:08:26And this was the opportunity for The Undertaker to rid himself of this,
01:08:31this unbelievable thorn that's been stabbed in his side since Kane appeared.
01:08:35I will never fight you.
01:08:38I will burn in hell before I fight you.
01:08:47That statement obviously directed toward his brother Kane.
01:08:51The Undertaker will burn in hell before he ever fights his little brother Kane.
01:08:57Folks, what else could happen here tonight?
01:09:01We're back live here, ladies and gentlemen, the War Zone.
01:09:03We gotta take it back to what happened just a few moments ago when The Undertaker joined the other team.
01:09:07The other seven men in the ring to face down Kane.
01:09:10I thought it would be the end of The Undertaker's front.
01:09:13But no, look at this.
01:09:14The Undertaker joined Kane, joined forces with his little brother, and they cleared the ring.
01:09:19And then the stare down came.
01:09:22And The Undertaker again reiterated that he would burn in hell before he would ever fight his brother.
01:09:28Now, that was one of the most unexpected things I think I've ever seen since I've been in the WWF.
01:09:32Now, I didn't expect to see Stone Cold introduce an outhouse here tonight either.
01:09:36We don't know what he could do before the night's over.
01:09:39And I didn't expect to see the WWF Championship defended here tonight when Shawn Michaels defends the gold against Owen Hart.
01:09:45And I never expected to see Mike Tyson's mug here on the WWF.
01:09:48Come on, tell me.
01:09:49More on that Mike Tyson story before we go off the air here tonight.
01:09:54And did you expect to see Chainsaw Charlie?
01:09:56Of course not.
01:09:57And I don't think the New Age Outlaws did either.
01:09:59They're standing by, we understand, with our broadcast colleague Michael Cole.
01:10:04Let's go to Mike.
01:10:05Notwithstanding what happened tonight, gentlemen, you still have to defend the tag team titles at the Royal Rumble against the LOD on January 18th.
01:10:10Are you kidding me?
01:10:11Are you kidding me?
01:10:12Are you kidding me?
01:10:13The title's LOD?
01:10:14There's a guy chasing us with a chainsaw!
01:10:16And you're asking us about LOD!
01:10:17A chainsaw!
01:10:18A chainsaw!
01:10:19You're not gonna be kidding me!
01:10:20That's unbelievable!
01:10:21Did you not see?
01:10:22They've gone too far!
01:10:23This isn't gonna happen anymore!
01:10:24I'm sick of it and you're asking us about LOD!
01:10:26LOD and the tag title!
01:10:27What does that have to do with anything?
01:10:28He's a stinking maniac!
01:10:29A maniac with a chainsaw!
01:10:30He's running around here like crazy about to kill us all!
01:10:32You're listening to your stinking man, Michael!
01:10:33Are you kidding me?
01:10:34Are you kidding me?
01:10:35Are you kidding me?
01:10:36Oh, you better...
01:10:38Wait!
01:10:49Good!
01:10:50Three!
01:10:51Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack!
01:10:57I ain't...
01:10:58What are you gonna say about that?
01:10:59I don't know what to say about that situation!
01:11:01Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack!
01:11:04Not a figment of our imagination!
01:11:05They're real!
01:11:06First of all, it's not a good night for RAW announcers,
01:11:09but it's gonna be even a worse night for the New Age Outlaws
01:11:12if they run into Chainsaw Charlie back there again!
01:11:15Ladies and gentlemen, our other broadcast colleague,
01:11:17Master James E. Cornette!
01:11:19The little lip is back with another of Cornette's commentaries
01:11:23on the state of the wrestling industry.
01:11:26Well, the WWF has asked me to do a commentary on the state of wrestling in 1998.
01:11:30I guess they figure Cornette's always good for a couple of laughs.
01:11:33Well, I'm not really gonna be too funny tonight,
01:11:35because you see, I think the state of wrestling in 1998 stinks!
01:11:38I think WCW stinks, I think the NWO stinks,
01:11:42I think ECW is embarrassing, and I think the WWF stinks!
01:11:46And I'll tell you why, you don't have to go back any further than last week on RAW,
01:11:50you got a guy coming out dressed like a Christmas tree,
01:11:52you got a woman coming out dressed like a reindeer,
01:11:54you got two adolescent mullet heads showing their butt cheeks on national TV,
01:11:58and having a phony match for a championship!
01:12:00I think it stinks! I think it's disgusting!
01:12:03I think nobody has any respect for wrestling anymore!
01:12:05Where is wrestling? Not sports entertainment, but wrestling!
01:12:09You know, just a couple of years ago, I left my home in Tennessee and I moved to Connecticut,
01:12:14which is like trading a Hawaiian vacation for a bed in a cancer ward,
01:12:17to come to work for the WWF full-time,
01:12:19the biggest wrestling promotion in the history of the planet!
01:12:22And I moved to Connecticut with snow on the ground seven months out of the year,
01:12:25real estate prices that would make Donald Trump's hair stand on end,
01:12:28the rudest bunch of people I've ever seen,
01:12:30where English is a second language and traffic jams at 4 o'clock in the morning,
01:12:33but I think that's okay, because I'm with the biggest wrestling promotion of all time,
01:12:38the WWF!
01:12:39But over the last couple of years, I don't see any wrestling!
01:12:42They got some great wrestlers around here,
01:12:44but they don't have any time to wrestle,
01:12:46because of all the falderol and the nonsense going on!
01:12:49You see, what the problem is, is the people running the two big promotions,
01:12:52one guy is a game show host wannabe from Minneapolis,
01:12:55with phony teeth, phony hair, and a phony tan,
01:12:58and running the WWF, you got a whole office building full of Yankees from New York City,
01:13:02that wouldn't know a wrestling match if it bit them!
01:13:05So they sit around all day, listening to people on the internet,
01:13:08and the people on the internet wouldn't know a wrist lock from a wrist watch!
01:13:11I don't particularly care what some Yankee from New York City wants to see!
01:13:15I want to see wrestling matches with wrestlers!
01:13:18I want to see real, old-fashioned wrestling!
01:13:20I want to see some people who have some respect for the traditions of the wrestling industry,
01:13:24have some respect for the sport of wrestling!
01:13:26I don't want to see sports entertainment and flying donkeys all around!
01:13:30I think it's garbage, I think it's insulting, and I think it's a shame to a fine sport like this!
01:13:35Down south where I come from, they know wrestling, they were brought up on it,
01:13:39they grew up on it, and they respect it!
01:13:41And I think it's about time that the promoters in the wrestling industry today
01:13:45recognize that wrestling fans watching a wrestling program want to see wrestlers wrestle!
01:13:50That's easy! It's not too hard to understand if you just think about it!
01:13:55But the problem is, is that nobody has any respect for tradition!
01:13:59Well, I got news for you!
01:14:00I got respect for tradition, and I've always been associated with real, good, old-fashioned wrestling!
01:14:06A sport of wrestling!
01:14:07Not a circus sideshow! Not a cartoon show!
01:14:10And if nobody else is going to bring some wrestling around here,
01:14:12then maybe it's going to be up to Jim Cornette!
01:14:14So that might be my New Year's resolution for 1998!
01:14:17I might bring some tradition, I might bring some real wrestling,
01:14:21but I can clear this whole mess out, because I think it stinks!
01:14:24So there's my address, there's my opinion, there's my commentary!
01:14:28Do with it what you want!
01:14:29Merry Christmas!
01:14:30Happy New Year!
01:14:31Bah humbug!
01:14:32I'm outta here!
01:14:33Can I get an amen?
01:14:35Woohoo!
01:14:36Awesome!
01:14:37Jim Cornette just told it like he was, JR!
01:14:40You gotta agree, come on, you gotta agree!
01:14:42That's his story, and he's sticking to it!
01:14:43Well, I'll tell you what, up next, we're gonna see some wrestling!
01:14:46We're gonna see Shawn Michaels, the WWF Wrestling Champion,
01:14:50have to wrestle for his life and his title against none other than Owen Hart.
01:14:55And also next, ladies and gentlemen, when we come back, the big news,

01:15:06Come on, tell us now!
01:15:08I can't, King.

01:15:53We're live here in Uniondale, Long Island.
01:15:54Now let's get that big news involving Iron Mike Tyson.
01:15:57Yes.
01:15:58The baddest man.
01:15:59Well, I guess Sonny's gonna join us.
01:16:02My!
01:16:03Look at that!
01:16:05Mike Tyson is big, but those two are bigger.
01:16:08We're talking about Sonny and the new Special Collectors Edition.
01:16:12A real swimsuit edition of Raw.
01:16:15Can you imagine Sonny and Sable?
01:16:17One of each!

01:16:19All over the world, a special-
01:16:21Look, look, look, look!
01:16:23That's just a little sample.
01:16:26You know, her pictures are already being used as currency in prison.
01:16:30I didn't know that.
01:16:32Oh, yeah!
01:16:33I know you're thinking about the things I was doing to you.
01:16:37I know you're dreaming for you.
01:16:39Come on over here, baby!
01:16:41I've seen the best of them all come and go.
01:16:45There's not a man out there that's manning up for me.
01:16:49I know you want me.
01:16:50And now, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you what,
01:16:53the big news is regarding the World Wrestling Federation
01:16:56and the baddest man on the planet, Iron Mike Tyson.
01:17:00I can announce that the World Wrestling Federation just today
01:17:05has officially begun negotiations with the baddest man on the planet,
01:17:10Iron Mike Tyson, to participate this year at WrestleMania 14
01:17:16on March the 29th in Boston.
01:17:19Unbelievable!
01:17:20Who's he gonna fight?
01:17:21I don't know if he's gonna fight anybody or not, but negotiations have just got underway,
01:17:25and we're gonna keep you apprised of this Mike Tyson situation here in the WWF
01:17:30as this information is made available.
01:17:32Wait a minute.
01:17:33Negotiations, that means Vince McMahon is probably talking to Don King.
01:17:38Oh my God, the world's not safe.
01:17:40Well, ladies and gentlemen, we'll keep you apprised of that situation.
01:17:43Iron Mike Tyson, how's he gonna participate?
01:17:45Is he gonna participate at WrestleMania 14?
01:17:47We'll keep you apprised of that.
01:17:49But right now we'd like to take you back and show you exactly how the sole surviving
01:17:54member of the Hart family, Owen Hart, returned auspiciously to the WWF.
01:18:01My God, Owen Hart's in the ring!
01:18:04Owen Hart has just knocked Shawn Michaels right through a table.
01:18:08Owen Hart is extracting revenge from the WWF champion.
01:18:12What is Owen Hart doing here?
01:18:13He's not even supposed to be in the arena!
01:18:18Owen Hart, you, my friend, are that small little stinky, stinky nugget.
01:18:28Wait a minute, it's Owen Hart again!
01:18:30Owen Hart is hammering away at Shawn Michaels!
01:18:42The following contest is scheduled for one fall of TV time remaining, and
01:18:47it is for the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
01:18:51Introducing first the challenger from Calgary, Alberta, Canada,
01:18:55weighing in at 232 pounds, Owen Hart!
01:19:01Well, ladies and gentlemen, Owen Hart has done it all in the WWF.
01:19:05He's been a tag champion, an intercontinental champion.
01:19:08But he has yet to be the WWF champion.
01:19:12I gotta believe.
01:19:13I'm honest as I can be with you.
01:19:15I feel it in my bones.
01:19:16Tonight is Owen Hart's night.
01:19:20He's probably the most underrated superstar ever in the history of the WWF.
01:19:25Yeah, we're ready.
01:19:27Yeah, we're ready.
01:19:29How long'd he?
01:19:33You think you can tell us what you're wearing?
01:19:36You think that you're better?
01:19:40Well, you better get ready.
01:19:44How to the mess.
01:19:48Break it down!
01:19:49And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by China from San Antonio,
01:19:56Texas, weighing in at 234 pounds, the World Wrestling Federation Champion,
01:20:03the Heartbreak Pit, Shawn Michaels, the Generation X.
01:20:10The reigning European champion, Hunter Hearst Hellsley,
01:20:14conspicuous by his absence, Hellsley injured
01:20:19yesterday afternoon in Hamilton, Ontario.
01:20:22That's in Canada, maybe it's an omen as the Canadian from Calgary,
01:20:26Owen Hart, attacking the WWF champion.
01:20:30He's not wasting any time, Owen is after the title, but more than that,
01:20:34he is after Shawn Michaels personally.
01:20:37The match is officially underway, the WWF title is at stake here.
01:20:42Shawn Michaels defending, right hand against Owen Hart in a knockdown.
01:20:47Michaels a notoriously fast starter,
01:20:51has been taken completely out of his game by the aggressiveness of Owen Hart.
01:20:57Well, Owen Hart knows Shawn Michaels as well as anybody.
01:21:00He knows his mannerisms, he knows his habits, and you're right,
01:21:03he knows he's a fast starter, but he's not in this match.
01:21:06Look at this.
01:21:07Look at this.
01:21:08Look at this.
01:21:09Now it goes suplex on the steel turner.
01:21:11This one may be over before it can really get underway.
01:21:17Look at this.
01:21:21Michaels is eating some steel here.
01:21:25Owen Hart is gonna be the new WWF champion.
01:21:27Yes, there's a great deal of personal motivation for Owen Hart.
01:21:32But more importantly than that, it's professional pride for Owen Hart.
01:21:37Now it's his time.
01:21:38He walks in no shadow.
01:21:39No.
01:21:40He knows no equal in the ring except maybe for Shawn Michaels.
01:21:44Michaels tied up.
01:21:49And Owen Hart, ironically enough,
01:21:53Referee, Earl Hector, will sign this matchup.
01:21:58Look at this.
01:22:00Michael's back body drop, over the top, to the floor.
01:22:04The WWF champion is in trouble.
01:22:07The title is on the line.
01:22:09The challenger turns it up and will be right back.
01:22:12My gosh.
01:22:13Live in the war zone, the WWF title is on the line here.
01:22:18Shawn Michaels defending against Owen Hart.
01:22:21Triple H, Hunter Hearst Helmsley has made his way on crutches to ringside.
01:22:27And this has been a war.
01:22:29Owen Hart has owned this match.
01:22:31Yeah, I was gonna say it's been a one-sided war.
01:22:33My gosh.
01:22:34Owen Hart has owned Shawn Michaels during the commercial break.
01:22:38And the WWF champion with his title on the line is in deep, deep trouble.
01:22:43Shawn Michaels has not made one offensive move as of yet.
01:22:48Look at the look of concern on the face of Hunter Hearst Helmsley over there.
01:22:52He knows there's big trouble in D-Generation X tonight.
01:22:56Hey, come on.
01:22:57Shawn Michaels has a championship advantage.
01:22:59Two.
01:23:00Meaning very simply that for Owen Hart to win the title,
01:23:03he has to pin Shawn Michaels or make HBK submit.
01:23:08And don't forget, Owen Hart is a pest master at the sharpshoots.
01:23:14What a great matchup here.
01:23:16As you said, King, this should be a pay-per-view main event.
01:23:19Look, look, look.
01:23:20And sure as hell, not like a lot of pay-per-view main events that some folks have
01:23:23seen lately.
01:23:24Hard right hand by Owen Hart.
01:23:26China distracting.
01:23:28He speaks.
01:23:29And Owen Hart, the challenger for the WWE title, shoved right off the apron,
01:23:34right into the steel railing, and he may have broken his nose.
01:23:37The first move by Shawn Michaels, but it was a big one.
01:23:40That could end the match.
01:23:43Is he bleeding?
01:23:44Look out behind you, look out.
01:23:48Double axe fight, Shawn Michaels, the WWF champion now, has the opportunity to
01:23:55continue to build the offense.
01:23:58And the greatest pure athlete in the history of WWF, Shawn Michaels,
01:24:03the stinging left hand, is now in control.
01:24:07Michaels was forced into this matchup, scheduled to be Helmsley and Owen Hart
01:24:11with a European title, but due to Helmsley's dislocated kneecap,
01:24:15Commissioner Slaughter forced Michaels to defend the title.
01:24:19And the WWF title right here, right now.
01:24:22And you've talked forever about Shawn Michaels being the most resilient athlete
01:24:26in the WWF.
01:24:27He's showing it now.
01:24:28He took a beating for the first five minutes.
01:24:30And now he's back in command.
01:24:32Unbelievable.
01:24:33Shawn Michaels, lateral press, and Owen Hart was able to kick out somewhere,
01:24:40some way, the youngest of the 12 Hart children was able to reach
01:24:44down and kick out before three.
01:24:47My gosh, that did it.
01:24:51Another high impact blow right on his head, the second one.
01:24:56Within the last 60 seconds, Michaels taking his time.
01:25:00This time hooks the leg.
01:25:01And Michaels got open.
01:25:02Michaels kicked out.
01:25:03Excuse me, Owen Hart kicked out.
01:25:05And I don't think Michaels can believe it.
01:25:07No, he can't believe it.
01:25:08No, he can't believe it.
01:25:09I mean, a devastating pile driver.
01:25:11And then an unreal DDT.
01:25:13And he still can't put Owen Hart away.
01:25:15But this may do it.
01:25:16The sleeper.
01:25:17Shawn Michaels with a sleeper on Owen Hart.
01:25:22Owen Hart may be fading.
01:25:24The carotid artery has been crimped.
01:25:27Look at the direction of Owen Hart's head.
01:25:29Michaels has that form right across the carotid artery.
01:25:33And not a choke hold.
01:25:35It's a sleeper.
01:25:36And Shawn Michaels would love to finish off Owen Hart this way.
01:25:39He would love to have him passed out unconscious.
01:25:41And then you can imagine what D-Generation X would do to him.
01:25:45Shawn Michaels has beat Bret Hart.
01:25:47Shawn Michaels has beat Jim Neidhart.
01:25:49Shawn Michaels has beat the British Bulldogs.
01:25:51And this crowd, so pro Owen Hart, it's overwhelming.
01:25:55It's unbelievable.
01:25:56And look at the challenger.
01:25:58Perhaps out of desperation.
01:26:00He got him again.
01:26:01And the tenacity.
01:26:02And the ring size of the incomparable Shawn Michaels applying once again,
01:26:07the sleeper hold.
01:26:08The WWF title, the richest prize in this game on the line right here tonight
01:26:14on the last edition of The War Zone in 1997.
01:26:19Is it gonna be a happy new year for the Hart family?
01:26:26And look at Michaels.
01:26:28He's pugnacious.
01:26:29He's tenacious.
01:26:30But now Owen Hart's fans are getting to the side.
01:26:34The sleeper with a suplex was Owen Hart.
01:26:39And now both men down.
01:26:41And remember, Owen Hart's gotta win this match by pinballer submission to leave
01:26:46here with the WWF title.
01:26:48The referee just asked Shawn Michaels if he wanted to continue,
01:26:54and Shawn Michaels said, are you crazy?
01:26:56Owen Hart now firing back up with right hands.
01:27:00The pace quickens here.
01:27:01They go left and right, right, right, body drop.
01:27:04Owen Hart now hammering and hammering away on HDK.
01:27:13One, two, three.
01:27:14One, two and a half, two and a half.
01:27:15How close can it get?
01:27:16Owen Hart senses that he has Shawn Michaels' number now.
01:27:21Spinning heel kick.
01:27:22It's gotta be all.
01:27:23One, two, three.
01:27:24Two and a half, two and a half.
01:27:26How close can it get?
01:27:28Owen Hart senses that he has Shawn Michaels' number now.
01:27:31Spinning heel kick.
01:27:33It's gotta be all.
01:27:34Near leg hook.
01:27:35Got him.
01:27:36And Michaels able to kick out.
01:27:37Love him or hate him, you gotta respect Michaels' resiliency.
01:27:42Man.
01:27:43One, two, three quarters.
01:27:47How does he do it?
01:27:48Owen Hart, a heartbeat away from becoming the WWF champion.
01:27:56Oh my god.
01:27:59Michaels misses Sweet Chin Music.
01:28:01Owen Hart, for the instant hurry.
01:28:03Yes, it's over.
01:28:04Yes, it's over.
01:28:06Sharp jitter.
01:28:07Sharp jitter.
01:28:08Sharp jitter.
01:28:10He's got him!
01:28:11It's over.
01:28:12Hemsley saved Michaels again.
01:28:17Hemsley saved Michaels again.
01:28:18Hemsley saved Michaels again.
01:28:22Helmsley broke that crutch right over Owen Hart's head, right in the heart,
01:28:27right in the heart, D-Generation X assaulting Owen Hart.
01:28:34Owen Hart had the title won.
01:28:36Owen Hart, Helmsley is bawling Owen Hart.
01:28:42The referee's down, my God.
01:28:45We're gonna kill him, get him.
