00:01:11Let's do it.

00:01:41One hand by the door that you'll hurt.

00:02:11Welcome, everyone, to WWF RAW, and welcome to the fifth anniversary of RAW on the USA Network.

00:02:36We are counting down the hours until the Royal Rumble this Sunday.

00:02:41On Pay Per View, and what a broadcast we have lined up for you tonight.

00:02:47And we're gonna kick it off with a four-corner tag team matchup.

00:02:53The Godwins, the Headbangers, the Truth Commission, and the New Age Outlaws,

00:02:58the tag team champions, are just about ready to get it on.

00:03:04Hello again, everybody.

00:03:05Welcome to State College, Pennsylvania, the home of Penn State University.

00:03:08Michael Cole, Kevin Kelly, and good old JR.

00:03:11D-Generation X, Shawn Michaels, a major announcement plan tonight involving The Undertaker's family.

00:03:16Plus, we have a camera outside the Bryce Jordan Center.

00:03:19We are awaiting the arrival in a limbo of D-Generation X.

00:03:23Not only that, tonight, fans, for the first time in Royal Rumble history, we will have a live drawing.

00:03:28We'll find out what the order of entry is for the superstars entered in this Sunday's Royal Rumble.

00:03:33And a man who could have a very long night this Sunday will be here with us live.

00:03:37Stone Cold Steve Austin, who very well could be JR, the most marked man in the WWF.

00:03:41No doubt about that.

00:03:42Plus, ladies and gentlemen, a big rumor that Mike Tyson will be at the Royal Rumble.

00:03:46Tonight we will talk exclusively with Vince McMahon regarding the negotiations for

00:03:50Mike Tyson to participate at WrestleMania 14 as well.

00:03:55You people here and all around the world know that we're the tag team champions.

00:04:02I'm the Road Dogg and he's the Badass, but I got a little point to make about you.

00:04:09You see, the boys from the Sunshine State think that you, your Steelers, and

00:04:17even your precious Joppa are all losers.

00:04:23So the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions sporting their Gator shirts,

00:04:31say you're all losers.

00:04:36Dogg and Billy are wearing those Florida jerseys.

00:04:43Of course, Florida, big Penn State in the Citrus Bowl.

00:04:46Uh-oh.

00:04:47Tonight, is the rumor true or not?

00:04:49Is Mike Tyson going to be at the Royal Rumble?

00:04:52We'll find out that.

00:04:53Plus, we're gonna find out about the negotiations for Mike Tyson's participation at WrestleMania.

00:04:58That and more tonight.

00:05:00Look out, the Truth Commission and Headbangers ambush the WWF Tag Team Champions,

00:05:05the New Age Outlaws, as Midius and Henry the Godwins are sitting back and watching.

00:05:10One fall, pinfall or submission.

00:05:12First team to get the win here won't be declared the winner in this four corners

00:05:16matchup.

00:05:17And the Tag Team Champions look so good.

00:05:19Henry Godwin now just leveled Thrasher.

00:05:23As Kevin said, it's a four-quarter matchup.

00:05:25The first team to secure a pinfall or a submission will win.

00:05:29And Henry Godwin now in the ring against Thrasher.

00:05:32And remember, you do not have to tag your own partner.

00:05:34What a way to kick off Raw here.

00:05:36Anybody can tag anybody else.

00:05:38Thrasher now, drop kick.

00:05:40Champs are heading for higher ground.

00:05:42Another drop kick.

00:05:43Both the Godwins and both the Headbangers will be in the Royal Rumble match itself.

00:05:48The most exciting 60 minutes on pay-per-view television this Sunday from San Jose.

00:05:53The New Age Outlaws will defend the WWF Tag Team titles at the Royal Rumble against

00:05:58the Legion of Doom.

00:05:59And here now comes Truth Commission into the ring.

00:06:03Mosh off the ropes that time for the Headbangers.

00:06:05Sniper misses.

00:06:06Mosh with a nice reversal.

00:06:07Nice hip toss.

00:06:08Drop kick.

00:06:09Recon in trouble.

00:06:11I tell you what, we've got two exciting hours here tonight.

00:06:15But almost three hours of non-stop action this Sunday at the Royal Rumble, folks.

00:06:22It only happens once a year.

00:06:24There's nothing else in the world like the Royal Rumble.

00:06:27Every man for himself in that Royal Rumble matchup.

00:06:31And will Mike Tyson be at the Royal Rumble this week?

00:06:35That's what I wanna know.

00:06:36Recon back in the ring going to work on Mosh Double Team now by the Truth Commission.

00:06:41This is the fifth anniversary of Raw right here on the USA Network.

00:06:44We'd like to thank all WWF fans for making Raw is War the number one rated series on USA.

00:06:50There's a cover, but a kick out after two by Mosh.

00:06:53Certainly the Headbangers with a great history in four quarters matches.

00:06:56They came out on top.

00:06:57Matthew Largo became the WWF Tag Team Champions in one of these type of contests.

00:07:02I'll tell you one thing I know, and that is that the Legion of Doom, Hulk, and Animal are watching at home.

00:07:07And there's gonna be hell to pay for the Tag Team Champions this Sunday at the Royal Rumble.

00:07:13I can promise you that.

00:07:14Here comes the big 300 powder for Bidders, Arkansas.

00:07:17Phineas Godwin now in control of Recon.

00:07:20You know guys, there's no love lost between the Godwins and the New Age Outlaws.

00:07:24The Godwins feel the New Age Outlaws owe the Godwins a tag team title opportunity.

00:07:29No love lost between the Godwins and the Headbangers either.

00:07:32The Godwins took the WWF Tag Team titles from the Headbangers a few months ago.

00:07:36Boy, a deafening roar of we are Penn State directed right at the Tag Team Champions.

00:07:41And I got a feeling Hawk and Animal are gonna say we are LOD this Sunday at the Rumble.

00:07:45Thrasher saying I'm a headbanger as he goes to work on Recon, but Recon now takes control.

00:07:50It's the Truth Commission, the Headbangers, the New Age Outlaws and the Godwins in a four

00:07:54quarter matchup to kick off Raw this week.

00:07:57Bosh off the top rope, clothesline.

00:07:59Over 40,000 students return to campus today.

00:08:02Here's a cover now by Bosh, two, getting the shoulder up, Recon.

00:08:05And we're going back to college with them.

00:08:07Umash with the big right hand.

00:08:10Recon now, taking control with the headbutt.

00:08:12Into the corner, here comes Phineas Godwin.

00:08:15You can tag any member of any team.

00:08:17Recon, body slam.

00:08:19Uh-oh, look out.

00:08:22I don't think Billy wanted to get into it, but he's gonna have to now against Phineas Godwin.

00:08:26I understand that DX and that limbo getting closer and closer to the Bryce Jordan Arena here.

00:08:31Our camera is standing by.

00:08:33Look out, Phineas with a big right hand.

00:08:36Billy Gunn in all kinds of trouble.

00:08:38Into the corner, double teamed by the Truth Commission.

00:08:41Phineas Godwin now.

00:08:42Slop drop, here we go.

00:08:43Slop drop coming.

00:08:44But Road Dogg, yeah, I don't think Phineas like that.

00:08:47And there's Henry.

00:08:49You think this is what Southern Justice is all about?

00:08:52Billy with a big right hand had something.

00:08:54He took something out of his tights and just clocked Phineas with it.

00:08:57There's the cover, it's over.

00:08:59The New Age Outlaws victorious.

00:09:01They're victorious tonight, but they may not and I don't believe they will be tag team champions after the Royal Rumble.

00:09:08There's no way the New Age Outlaws can beat Hulk and Animal in a fair fight.

00:09:12The New Age Outlaws victorious in this four corner matchup.

00:09:17We gotta take a look at exactly what led the New Age Outlaws to the win in the four corners match.

00:09:26And I understand we might have a shot of exactly what happened.

00:09:29Take a look.

00:09:30Hand in the tights.

00:09:32Hello, Mr. Yeah.

00:09:34Foreign object, if you will.

00:09:36Led to the three count and the New Age Outlaws escape with a win.

00:09:40Well, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you this.

00:09:42There is one team that redefined tag team wrestling.

00:09:46They have been together for 15 years.

00:09:48They are incomparable.

00:09:50Hulk and Animal, the Legion of Doom, headed to the Royal Rumble.

00:09:53Let's take a special look.

00:09:55They are powerful.

00:10:00They are indestructible.

00:10:09They are champions.

00:10:15Hulk is up there!

00:10:16He downed up!

00:10:17We got the champion!

00:10:18We got it!

00:10:19We got it!

00:10:20We got it!

00:10:21We got it!

00:10:22We got it!

00:10:23We got it!

00:10:24We got it!

00:10:25They are legends.

00:10:26They are 14 years they've been together!

00:10:28Hulk and Animal, the Miracle, and the Originals getting a standing ovation in the moment.

00:10:32They are the Legion of Doom and they have defined tag team wrestling.

00:10:41They are tag team wrestling.

00:10:44But one month ago, Hulk and Animal's legacy and careers were almost ended, as the New Age

00:10:51Outlaws did what no one has ever done.

00:10:53They shamelessly pummeled the Rogue Warriors into submission.

00:10:56The New Age Outlaws are shaven!

00:10:58Hulk and Small Hulk!

00:10:59This is absolutely unheard of!

00:11:02Hulk is unconscious!

00:11:04Hulk is being insulted, humiliated!

00:11:08Wait a minute.

00:11:09Hey!

00:11:10Look out!

00:11:11I'll shoot!

00:11:12You can't wait!

00:11:13You can't wait!

00:11:14You can't wait!

00:11:15No!

00:11:16No!

00:11:17No!

00:11:18No!

00:11:19Oh my God!

00:11:20How tragic!

00:11:21Animals back to be sniffered here!

00:11:23They are just like wolters, circling their lives!

00:11:24J.R. in 15 years, nobody!

00:11:26Nobody has ever treated the Rogue Warriors like this!

00:11:30But the road warriors like true champions get up after getting knocked down.

00:11:43They will make their return this Sunday night at the Royal Rumble against the New

00:11:47Age Outlaws with the WWF tag team titles on the line.

00:11:51And you can bet animal and hawk have only one thing on their minds.

00:11:55And that's Revenge.

00:11:58It's about honor.

00:11:59It's about respect.

00:12:00It's about the WWF tag team titles and it's this Sunday live on pay per view from

00:12:04the Royal Rumble.

00:12:05And folks, we are anticipating the arrival of a limousine carrying D-Generation X

00:12:10here to the Bryce Jordan Center momentarily.

00:12:13They are expected momentarily Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Chyna in a limousine.

00:12:18D-Generation X will be here at the Bryce Jordan Center when we, uh-oh.

00:12:22Wait a minute, let's go limousine.

00:12:24That's the toughest SOB in the WWF.

00:12:27Stone Cold is here, and I can promise you, business is about to pick up.

00:12:31Welcome back, folks.

00:12:34Before we went to the break, we were awaiting the arrival of DX in their limousine.

00:12:37However, a limousine has not arrived yet, but we're gonna show you who has arrived.

00:12:42There you see him.

00:12:44Let's get the hell out of the way.

00:12:50Gold Coast team Austin is here, and it didn't take Austin long to begin where he left off last Monday.

00:12:55Certainly did not.

00:12:56After the completion of the Four Corners match, the Godwins found themselves recipients of stunners.

00:13:00Getting a cold drink was Phineas, hearing the commotion was Henry.

00:13:03Both men got stunners for their troubles.

00:13:04Both men are in the Royal Rumble this Sunday.

00:13:07And we are alive, and here he comes.

00:13:12Ladies and gentlemen, Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:13:36Stone Cold Steve Austin driving that truck, the truck that you have the opportunity to win,

00:13:51by the way, and tonight's the last night that you can make that call.

00:13:55More on that to get your pencil and paper handy.

00:13:58Austin's got a bullseye on this test.

00:14:0329 men have their sights set on Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:14:08What an ovation for Stone Cold.

00:14:10Stone Cold Steve Austin gonna talk all about the Royal Rumble this Thursday,

00:14:16live on AOL starting at 8 PM Eastern, it's keyword WWF.

00:14:20Mr. Austin, apparently, as we just saw,

00:14:26you've carried into this week what you started last week.

00:14:30Do on to others before they do on to you.

00:14:33Well, see, you're damn right, son, because last year,

00:14:36Stone Cold Steve Austin won the Royal Rumble Fair and Square.

00:14:40And the WWF yanked the carpet right out from under me.

00:14:44And I ain't gonna come out here and piss Simone like a crybaby.

00:14:48I'm gonna come out here, and Vince McMahon might have bought this ring.

00:14:51But if you get your ass in it, Stone Cold's gonna throw your ass out of it.

00:14:55And that's the bottom line.

00:15:03Now, rumor has it that tonight at the live Royal Rumble drawing,

00:15:10many of the superstars have made you a marked man.

00:15:14That's a stupid question.

00:15:18Do you have a pen?

00:15:20A pen?

00:15:21If you got a pen, give it to me, jackass.

00:15:23Stone Cold Steve Austin ain't a hard person to find.

00:15:29But if you're having a hard time, let me give you a little target.

00:15:32If I'm a marked man, I'll tell anyone of the WWF superstars,

00:15:42whoever they are, in my book ain't nothing but trash.

00:15:45All you got to do is bring your ass out here because Stone Cold has time,

00:15:50his time has come, and I will accept.

00:15:52No BS from Gorilla Monsoon, no BS from anybody in the Federation office.

00:15:58Steve Austin does what he wants when he wants.

00:16:01You say I'm a marked man, I say you're fully, you know what?

00:16:06And that's the bottom line.

00:16:08Why?

00:16:09Because Stone Cold said so.

00:16:11Stone Cold Steve Austin on his way to the Royal Rumble this Sunday on pay-per-view.

00:16:20And the winner of the Rumble will meet the WWE Champion at WrestleMania.

00:16:32Look out, here's DX, here is the limo apparently carrying D-Generation X.

00:16:37Shawn, Triple H in China, a major announcement expected concerning The Undertaker's family.

00:16:42Gotta wonder what that could be.

00:16:44The limo has arrived here at the Bryce Jordan Center.

00:16:47Well, ladies and gentlemen, still to come, an exclusive live conversation with Vince McMahon

00:16:53regarding Iron Mike Tyson and his negotiation for WrestleMania 14.

00:16:57But is Mike Tyson going to be at the Royal Rumble?

00:17:00We're going to find that out tonight.

00:17:03Their last encounter was pure hell in a cell.

00:17:07I have never seen anything like this in my life.

00:17:10This is not a pretty sight.

00:17:12We knew it wouldn't be.

00:17:14This time, hell will be a safer place.

00:17:17The Undertaker.

00:17:21You better give your soul to the Lord, because the rest of your scrawny will belong to me.

00:17:27Shawn Michaels.

00:17:29The Heartbreak Kid does not rest in peace.

00:17:34He can stay up by night.

00:17:37The Casket Match, the WWF Royal Rumble, live this Sunday on pay-per-view.

00:17:47Welcome back to Raw.

00:17:49Tonight, Raw is brought to you by Snickers.

00:17:51Not going anywhere for a while?

00:17:52Grab a Snickers, because nothing will hold you over like peanuts, caramel, and milk chocolate.

00:17:56Hungry?

00:17:57Why wait?

00:17:59We are live at Penn State University.

00:18:01There's the limousine carrying D-Generation X, a huge truck obviously blocking the entrance of

00:18:05that limo to the Bryce Jordan Center.

00:18:07Come on, hey, who's in the truck?

00:18:15Hey, what?

00:18:19Take it back, Johnny, come on.

00:18:20Hey, move this piece of trash.

00:18:24Hey, buddy, come on.

00:18:25And here he comes, Kurgan the Interrogator, led to the ring by Jackal.

00:18:35Well, we're live here, ladies and gentlemen, as Kurgan makes his way to the ring.

00:18:39John Michaels and Sean are trying to get that big truck move out of the way.

00:18:42And they are obviously very near here.

00:18:45This is a handicap matchup.

00:18:48And for Kurgan to win this match, which one would assume he may be heavily favored to do,

00:18:53he has to pin both men, Jimmy Cicero and Lance Diamond.

00:18:58Cicero and Diamond not wasting any time going to work on the huge seven-foot,

00:19:01350-foot-pound Interrogator, who will be a handful at the Royal Rumble match this Sunday.

00:19:08Kurgan wasting no time in taking apart Diamond and Cicero.

00:19:11And it appears that Jackal is joining us over here at the commentator's position.

00:19:17Intellectual intercourse whenever I'm around.

00:19:20Intellectual intercourse, I guess, Mr. Jackal.

00:19:24Kurgan, Mr. Jackal will be a part of the Royal Rumble match this Sunday, live on Pay Per View.

00:19:29You know, tonight, Kurgan has to beat two men, cuz that's the way I've asked for this match.

00:19:33But very soon, he will beat 29 men.

00:19:35And at the end of the night, 29 World Wrestling Federation superstars will be pitched

00:19:39from the ring like so much trash.

00:19:40And I will go to WrestleMania with Kurgan in the main event position.

00:19:44I'll have the power that I want.

00:19:45I'll be controlling people's lives.

00:19:46And if I say you three are gonna rediscover your roots, cuz I'll have you back on the

00:19:50independent circuit working for $50.

00:19:52Now, Mr. Jackal, the question begs to be asked, will the Truth Commission,

00:19:56Recon, and Sniper be involved in the Royal Rumble match?

00:19:59We understand they are not a participant as of now.

00:20:02Just the fact that they're not there doesn't mean anything.

00:20:04But I've heard an ugly rumor that Mike Tyson may show his face at the Royal Rumble.

00:20:09Now, we know that Mike Tyson is probably the most feared man in the history of the planet.

00:20:13He's been a great heavyweight champion.

00:20:15But the fact is that people like Mike Tyson who have no class sometimes wanna put their

00:20:20hands on me.

00:20:21If he were to do that, I might have to let the Kurgan loose.

00:20:25Speaking of Kurgan, he is in total control of this handicap matchup over Lance Diamond and

00:20:29Jimmy Cicero.

00:20:31One thing's for sure, we're gonna find out if Mike Tyson's gonna be at the Royal Rumble.

00:20:34We're gonna find out how the negotiation for Mike Tyson's participation at WrestleMania are

00:20:39gonna be tonight exclusively with Vince McMahon right here tonight.

00:20:43And will this be the night that Stone Cold Steve Austin gets his from 29 other

00:20:48Royal Rumble match participants?

00:20:50It's over, the Paralyzer.

00:20:51One down and one to go, ladies and gentlemen.

00:20:55The Paralyzer by Kurgan gives him the victory over Cicero and Diamond.

00:20:59I don't think the carnage is over, however.

00:21:01The carnage is not over until I say so.

00:21:03Big mismatch here, Kurgan we must point out has never been defeated in the WWF.

00:21:11Never has been and never will be, that's my prophecy for the Royal Rumble.

00:21:16He's already pinned Cicero, now he's going for the pin over Lance Diamond.

00:21:19Look at this.

00:21:21It's academic at this point.

00:21:22It is over.

00:21:26What's your plan if Kurgan wins the Royal Rumble?

00:21:29If he does, how about when he does?

00:21:31He wins the Royal Rumble, I go to WrestleMania with him in the main event.

00:21:35And you three could all be in a lot of trouble because I'll have the power that I wanted.

00:21:40The Jackal works in it for Kurgan.

00:21:42I know that a lot of the wretched refugees out there have limited

00:21:46intellectual capacity and short attention spans.

00:21:49So I'm gonna give you a little visual aid, not only the power of Kurgan's hand,

00:21:53but of what could happen if he were to wrap that hand around the cranium of a

00:21:57World Wrestling Federation Superstar at the Royal Rumble.

00:21:59JR, you're a football fan.

00:22:01That's a pick.

00:22:01That's a football helmet.

00:22:03What are you doing?

00:22:04My God.

00:22:06I just destroyed a Vindy Ryan helmet with his bare hands.

00:22:15Hey, look at those.

00:22:17No.

00:22:18Hey, hey, hey.

00:22:18Come on.

00:22:19Get him out of here.

00:22:20Folks, I understand that we're gonna take you back outside to DX's demo.

00:22:29They're trying to get back in the- Wait a minute.

00:22:34Wait a minute.

00:22:34That's Owen Hart.

00:22:35That's Owen Hart.

00:22:37We've got a camera there.

00:22:38That's Owen Hart and Hilmsley.

00:22:41Triple H is alone in that limbo.

00:22:42Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

00:22:47Let's go, let's go.

00:22:49Let's go, let's go.

00:22:51Let's go, let's go.

00:22:53Owen Hart is in that limo with DX and limos leaving.

00:22:59What is going on here?

00:23:01Where's the video?

00:23:02What, where, what's going on?

00:23:06Welcome back to Raw.

00:23:07Let's take you back to what happened just a few moments ago.

00:23:09While Shawn Michaels and China were trying to get that big truck out of the way,

00:23:12Owen Hart sees the opportunity.

00:23:14Jumped in the open room roof and was letting Triple H have it.

00:23:17Shawn and China discovered what was going on.

00:23:19All got in.

00:23:20We lost video, audio.

00:23:22The limo has driven away.

00:23:24And folks, we don't know any more than that.

00:23:26The limo has not returned.

00:23:28We can't get any feed.

00:23:29We can't get any word from the limo.

00:23:30We don't know what is going on.

00:23:31But we do, folks, have a camera stationed outside.

00:23:34Here we are live outside the Bryce Jordan Center.

00:23:37The camera will remain outside if the limo returns.

00:23:40We will have it for you live if DX's limo returns here to Penn State.

00:23:45The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.

00:23:51Making his way to the ring from Buffalo, New York.

00:23:53Weighing it at 245 pounds.

00:23:56Marvelous, Mark Merrill.

00:23:59You know, gentlemen, earlier today I was watching, observing Mark Merrill a little bit back in the locker room area.

00:24:04It looks as if Merrill may have had a change of heart.

00:24:08At least that's what he indicated regarding Sable.

00:24:11He has been very disrespectful, very impolite to Sable.

00:24:15And from what Merrill told me earlier, he has had a change of heart as it relates to that young lady.

00:24:21I think Merrill's having some microphone problems.

00:24:38I think what he's wanting to do is introduce Sable.

00:24:41So why don't we just go ahead and introduce Sable.

00:24:45Get her out here.

00:24:46Everybody wants to see Sable.

00:24:52It'd be nice to see the one-two punch at the WWF back together.

00:24:55And on good working terms, Merrill and Sable, if indeed a change of heart is as indicated, JR.

00:25:02What, here she comes.

00:25:09I know Sable, and that ain't Sable.

00:25:13The beautiful Sable.

00:25:15What is this?

00:25:18Well, it's Goldust, obviously.

00:25:21Again, Goldust is attempting to get attention.

00:25:25Goldust is starved for attention, and so is Merrill.

00:25:31I told you, I wasn't gonna humiliate the beautiful Sable anymore.

00:25:38Come on in the ring, my beautiful.

00:25:42First class jerk.

00:25:43Well, obviously this change of heart was a ruse.

00:25:46Come on in.

00:25:48We've seen him dressed as a Christmas tree, a New Year's baby.

00:25:50You look marvelous.

00:25:52Both these guys, I'm talking about Merrill and Goldust will do anything for attention.

00:25:59Folks, this isn't about sexuality.

00:26:02This is a hideous attempt to get the spotlight put on you by two men that are as insecure as

00:26:08anybody that's ever competed in the WWF.

00:26:13But I'll tell you one thing, don't forget one thing, man.

00:26:15They're great athletes.

00:26:16You see, that's all I ever ask for you to do what I ask you to do.

00:26:23I think we're gonna get along fine from now on.

00:26:25Well, the pressure cooker of competition in the World Wrestling Federation

00:26:30obviously has had a great impact on both Merrill and Goldust.

00:26:33And this, I guess, the byproduct of that.

00:26:35And who's opponent from the Rocky Mountains, playing in at 456 pounds,

00:26:46the man they call Vader.

00:26:50The 450 pound Mastodine from Colorado, Vader,

00:26:53set for action against Marvelous Bart Merrill.

00:26:56All three of these men will be involved in the Royal Rumble match this Sunday live on

00:27:01pay-per-view.

00:27:02Plus, Vader will take on the artist formerly known as Goldust, one-on-one,

00:27:07to try to settle that feud.

00:27:10Vader means business.

00:27:12He's been attacked, humiliated.

00:27:14He's had Goldust turn his back on him.

00:27:16We all remember what happened when Goldust turned his back on his team and his country

00:27:21at the Survivor Series in November.

00:27:23It has escalated from there.

00:27:25Vader and Goldust, one-on-one, in addition to both being in the Royal Rumble match,

00:27:30this Sunday on pay-per-view.

00:27:32But Merrill really considers himself to be a bad man.

00:27:37We're gonna find out how bad Merrill can be, because he gotta be down sheer bad to hang with Vader.

00:27:44A lot of experts feel a legacy not yet written in the chapter of Vader's career is a WWF

00:27:49championship, a man who's been a champion all over the world.

00:27:52If he wins the Royal Rumble this Sunday, he will face the World Wrestling Federation champion

00:27:56at WrestleMania 14, and perhaps the legacy can finally be written.

00:28:00Merrill starting off with some boxing technique now against the man they call Vader.

00:28:04Well, there's no way that Merrill can out-wrestle Vader, in my view.

00:28:08Vader, the most agile, the most athletic big man in the history of the WWF.

00:28:12And look at those big hands, those tree-like arms of Vader.

00:28:16Look at Merrill, right back around.

00:28:18Merrill coming back now with the big right hands, he gives away 200 pounds to the Mastodon.

00:28:22But Merrill now in control, now with the big boots to the midsection of Vader.

00:28:26Yes!

00:28:27Merrill and Vader will both be a part of the 30-man Royal Rumble match.

00:28:32A bit later on tonight, we will have the live drawing for when the participants will enter the Royal Rumble match.

00:28:38Look out, Goldust grabbing the leg of Vader from outside, and Merrill with a low blow.

00:28:43Referee Tim White had his back turned.

00:28:44Flying body tackle now by Merrill, also landed with one of those deep fists right in the throat.

00:28:49Here comes Sable, I thought she was gonna pull a rose in and bump, marvelous.

00:28:59Remember, that's what she should do, get rid of this bump.

00:29:04What a reaction for Sable, look out at ringside now with Goldust.

00:29:09Sable just delivering a kick to Goldust.

00:29:21And these boos from this capacity crowd are because they wanna see Sable and Merrill sending Sable apparently back to the locker room.

00:29:37And I think Merrill forgot he has a match going on against Vader.

00:29:40I hope he's hurting now.

00:29:41I don't think Vader forgot.

00:29:43Look out, what a close line.

00:29:45Merrill is such a hog for the spotlight.

00:29:48He is starved for attention.

00:29:50So is the artist who's still down here in this hideous attire.

00:29:54Goldust, Goldust and Merrill are both obsessed with starved.

00:30:00Vader is a superstar, there's no doubt about that.

00:30:03You gotta keep your eye on that bizarre human being on the outside, Goldust.

00:30:09And look at Vader, just manhand and overpower the marvelous one.

00:30:12Merrill across the ring and Vader funnels it up.

00:30:15Vader in control, what a close line.

00:30:18Merrill is in trouble.

00:30:24Vader has stayed very focused on marvelous Mark Merrill,

00:30:27puts the mark of a great veteran and hasn't been distracted by Goldust as of yet.

00:30:32Who is now in the ring, wait a minute.

00:30:34Vanderbomb, that'll be it.

00:30:35Goldust now in the ring.

00:30:36Goldust just took a, it looks like a coconut out of his chest.

00:30:47To create this cleavage, I guess.

00:30:49And it's just broken the coconut right over Vader's head.

00:30:52He just split that coconut right over Vader's head.

00:30:57Goldust across the face, Vader.

00:31:02The man they call, Vader.

00:31:07Goldust and Vader get it on this Sunday at the Royal Rumble.

00:31:11Can you imagine what's gonna happen to Goldust one-on-one,

00:31:14when Vader gets those giant paws around him?

00:31:18Folks, we have a live shot now outside the Bryce Jordan Center.

00:31:21Apparently the limousine with D-Generation X and Owen Hart returning now.

00:31:28You gotta wonder.

00:31:30Owen Hart, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and

00:31:33Chyna were all locked in that limousine for quite some time.

00:31:40Who's getting out now?

00:31:41Who survived that ride?

00:31:43Well, there's Triple H.

00:31:44Yeah, good girl.

00:31:46Where's Owen?

00:31:47Where's Owen?

00:31:48D-Generation X is here.

00:31:50Where's Owen Hart?

00:31:52What's happened to Owen Hart?

00:31:55Welcome back to Raw.

00:31:56We are live, as we mentioned, Mike Tyson may join us this Sunday at the Royal Rumble on

00:32:00Pay Per View.

00:32:01Folks, we're gonna take you back to the last time a sports celebrity joined us at

00:32:05the Royal Rumble.

00:32:05It was in 1995.

00:32:07Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor at the Royal Rumble.

00:32:131-800-COLLECT presents the Slam of the Week.

00:32:161-800-COLLECT, the COLLECT call that saves.

00:32:19Hey, Pia, why didn't they smile at his face quick?

00:32:23There he is.

00:32:25No, he's smiling, he's laughing at you, Bam Bam.

00:32:27Hey, wait a minute, wait just a minute.

00:32:37He's crazy, that guy.

00:32:39The Slam of the Week was brought to you by 1-800-COLLECT.

00:32:431-800-COLLECT, the COLLECT call that saves.

00:32:46There's no doubt that Bam Bam Bigelow was an opportunity.

00:32:50He took the opportunity to notch his gun on the Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor.

00:32:55And I don't know for sure if Mike Tyson's gonna be with us at the Royal Rumble.

00:32:58But if he is, you can almost bet your bottom dollar that somebody in the WWF locker room

00:33:04is gonna challenge the baddest man on the planet.

00:33:06I can take, wait a minute, there's something going on, ladies and gentlemen, back in the locker room.

00:33:12Hater.

00:33:14Hater.

00:33:15Hater.

00:33:16Come on.

00:33:18Hater.

00:33:19Apparently, Stone Cold Steve Austin has met another man that Austin will meet in the Royal Rumble match this Sunday.

00:33:29Here comes the nation of domination.

00:33:35We have confirmation we understand that Stone Cold Steve Austin did indeed

00:33:41start the man they call Vader.

00:33:4320 minute time limit.

00:33:45Making their way to the main main company by nation of domination member Kama,

00:33:49at a combined weight of 575 pounds, D'Lo and the World Wrestling Federation

00:33:56Intercontinental Champion, The Rock, working by Neon.

00:34:02Getting set for tag team action featuring The Rock and D'Lo Brown from the nation of domination.

00:34:06They'll be taking on Ken Shamrock and Mark Henry.

00:34:08Let's take you back to two weeks ago on Shotgun Saturday Night.

00:34:11Mark Henry one on one against D'Lo Brown.

00:34:13And Mark Henry with the application of the bear hug had this match won until Kama came in and interfered.

00:34:19From there, the nation struck with tremendous ferocity on the world's strongest fan.

00:34:25Eventually, it was a four on one situation.

00:34:28Farouk with the lashings, Kama and The Rock stomping away on the former Olympian until Ken Shamrock came down and saved Mark Henry.

00:34:38And Shamrock clean house.

00:34:41And you gotta know, with Shamrock's mind focus on The Rock, this tag team contest is gonna be hot right here on Raw.

00:34:48And the opponent, the box from Sacramento, California weighing at 243 pounds,

00:34:55the world's most dangerous man, Ken Shamrock.

00:35:04We have said many times that Shamrock may be the future of the WWF.

00:35:09His future is this Sunday on Pay Per View.

00:35:12Are we looking at the next Intercontinental Champion?

00:35:16Shamrock, Maivia, one on one.

00:35:19What a matchup.

00:35:20It's this Sunday for Intercontinental Gold at the Royal Rumble.

00:35:25And his tag team partner,

00:35:31Gold Sealsby, Texas, weighing in at 400 pounds, the world's strongest man, Mark Henry.

00:35:40A lot of folks, a lot of fans of the World Wrestling Federation familiar with the slogan that

00:35:44Mark Henry adores across his huge chest, JR.

00:35:47I wonder if Ringling Brothers are missing the big top.

00:35:50If they are, they made a shirt for Mark Henry, 415 pounds, a 64 inch chest.

00:35:58He is the world's strongest man with a-

00:36:00Now, before The Rock addresses your ignorance for wearing the Rocky sucks t-shirt,

00:36:05let me share something with all The Rock's fans.

00:36:08You know, last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback,

00:36:13Cornell Stewart called The Rock, and he said, Rock, what do I got to do

00:36:19to go to the Super Bowl and become a champion?

00:36:24Well, hell, before The Rock could call Cordell back, he went and called that old goat Joe Paterno,

00:36:31and he got advice from him.

00:36:33And now, look, neither one of them are champions like The Rock.

00:36:38Now, you managed to do something, Mark Henry, you shouldn't have done,

00:36:45and that's pissed The Rock off.

00:36:48You're actually ignorant enough to go out and buy one of those Rocky sucks t-shirts.

00:36:52But I'll tell you what, The Rock guarantees tonight in front of all of his fans

00:37:02that I'm gonna rip that shirt right off your fat, ugly ass.

00:37:05And Ken Shamrock, if you got any manhood to you,

00:37:11you'll stay in here and get a piece of The Rock.

00:37:14So the self-proclaimed People's Champion,

00:37:18the Intercontinental Champion, The Rock, along with D'Lo Brown to take on Mark Henry

00:37:22and Ken Shamrock.

00:37:23We're gonna start things off now with a preview of Sunday's Intercontinental title

00:37:27matchup, The Rock and Ken Shamrock.

00:37:32Shamrock now, right hands, going to work on The Rock.

00:37:36I have to believe, JR, Shamrock will be the next Intercontinental Champion right here in the WWF.

00:37:42Shamrock is not thinking about the title right now, he's thinking about revenge on Maya Villa.

00:37:47You do not want Shamrock to snap.

00:37:49The former king of the Ultimate Fighting World can be as bad as anybody who's ever stepped

00:37:54in the squared circle.

00:37:56The Rock now hammering away with the big right hands, and Shamrock goes down.

00:38:00Not to take anything away, though, from The Rock, a blue chip athlete.

00:38:03And here comes one of the most underrated athletes in the WWF, D'Lo Brown.

00:38:07But Shamrock goes to work now on D'Lo.

00:38:09Pounding away on the former football team member from the University of Maine.

00:38:13A Maine Blackbeard graduated with his degree in accounting,

00:38:16but just got schooled in a knee drop there from the world's most dangerous man.

00:38:20All four of these men in this tag team matchup will compete in the Royal Rumble match this Sunday on paper.

00:38:26But JR, with it being every man for himself, certainly you gotta wonder what happens if Kama and D'Lo, say,

00:38:33are paired off against one another.

00:38:35The Rock from behind, and D'Lo follows with a clothesline.

00:38:38The Rock directing traffic now, and he comes back into the ring to go to work on the world's most dangerous man, Ken Shamrock.

00:38:51Ken Shamrock.

00:38:54Rock is gonna look to seize upon this opportunity.

00:38:57Looking to gain some momentum heading into Sunday.

00:39:00Ooh, The Rock with a power move, shoulder breaker.

00:39:04Shamrock in trouble, really need to make a tag here.

00:39:07Rock surprisingly deliberate.

00:39:10And there it is, the big elbow across the sternum.

00:39:14The Rock gonna go for a cover, hooks the leg.

00:39:16There's two, and Shamrock gets the left shoulder up.

00:39:19Don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, still to come, we're gonna find out about the negotiations

00:39:22of the baddest man on the planet, Mike Tyson, to participate in WrestleMania 14.

00:39:27But are the rumors true?

00:39:29Will Mike Tyson be in San Jose Sunday for the Royal Rumble?

00:39:33Plus, DX has a major announcement, apparently, concerning the Undertaker's family.

00:39:38Here's the cover by Shamrock, almost three.

00:39:41And will this be the night that 29 WWF superstars eliminate Stone Cold Steve Austin

00:39:48from even competing in Sunday's Royal Rumble?

00:39:51Rocky missed with the right hand, Shamrock.

00:39:53As if last week was not bad enough, Stone Cold has continued the stun of their lives,

00:40:00so far getting the Godwins Invader tonight.

00:40:03Shamrock is walking tall, again.

00:40:05Belly to belly, this could be it.

00:40:08Ankle lock submission coming up here.

00:40:11Shamrock setting up the rock for the ankle lock submission hole.

00:40:15What, what, what is this?

00:40:17What?

00:40:18Mark Henry.

00:40:19Mark, what the hell is he doing?

00:40:21Henry just floored Ken Shamrock.

00:40:24Mark Henry has attacked his own partner.

00:40:29And a 15 pound power slam.

00:40:33Good Lord, Shamrock could be broken in half.

00:40:36And what an elbow.

00:40:38Right to the heart.

00:40:40And The Rock just told Mark Henry one more time.

00:40:46The former US Olympian has absolutely, this is disgusting.

00:40:55I cannot believe what I've seen.

00:40:58The world's strongest man turned his back on his partner, Ken Shamrock.

00:41:04No doubt, Rocky Maivia does not want to meet Shamrock.

00:41:09Well, Shamrock got 100% Sunday at the Intercontinental title.

00:41:15And look, that Rock's got him covered.

00:41:18And Mark Henry executing the three count, big deal.

00:41:23Shamrock has been busted apart by The Nation and Mark Henry.

00:41:28And Mark.

00:41:30Well, The Rock ripped off the T-shirt like he said he was going to.

00:41:35We are the Nation of Domination.

00:41:40I don't believe this.

00:41:41Mark Henry with a Nation of Domination T-shirt.

00:41:45You can debate whether or not Rocky Maivia sucks.

00:41:48I'll tell you what sucks right now.

00:41:49Mark Henry embraced the Nation of Domination.

00:41:54This has got to be a shock to Mark Henry, his advisor, Terry Todd down in Austin,

00:41:59Texas, the United States Olympic Committee.

00:42:02The whole everybody that's helped Mark Henry all his life.

00:42:07The people in Silsby, Texas have got to be just sick of their stomach right now.

00:42:11What about me?

00:42:12What about us sitting here in State College PA and all the shock fans?

00:42:16That's what's up, right?

00:42:17This is the newest member, I guess.

00:42:21Second floor, presenting the newest member, I guess.

00:42:26Good job.

00:42:27Hardcore.

00:42:28Good job, man.

00:42:29Good job, man.

00:42:30Good job.

00:42:31Good job, man.

00:42:32Good job, man.

00:42:33Good job, man.

00:42:34Good job, man.

00:42:35Good job.

00:42:36Come on, man.

00:42:37I don't know what this is.

00:42:38Look.

00:42:39Look.

00:42:40Look.

00:42:41Look.

00:42:42But up next on The War Zone, Shawn Michaels with a huge announcement

00:42:47concerning The Undertaker's family that is next on The War Zone.

00:42:52Stay with us.

00:42:55Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.

00:42:56We're gonna take you back to what happened just moments ago in tag team action.

00:42:59Ken Shamrock is about to fly the egg lock on The Rock.

00:43:02And Shamrock's own tag team partner, the world's strongest man, Mark Henry,

00:43:07out of nowhere.

00:43:09Apparently for no reason that we are aware of, attacked Ken Shamrock.

00:43:15And watch this power slam.

00:43:17Mark Henry at 415 pounds, power slammed his own tag team partner.

00:43:23And here we see it obviously was a setup.

00:43:26Mark Henry wearing the Nation of Domination shirt.

00:43:30So apparently Mark Henry, much to everyone's surprise, is the newest member of the nation.

00:43:35As we take you back to Michael Colton.

00:43:36The Nation of Domination, The Rock, what happened?

00:43:39Shut up.

00:43:39I'm gonna tell you exactly what happened.

00:43:41Hey, this is the greatest day in the history of the nation.

00:43:44Well, actually the greatest day was when The Rock joined.

00:43:46But at the same time, God, man, I did this all for you, Farouk.

00:43:49Farouk, this is the greatest.

00:43:50Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:43:51Know your role, know your role.

00:43:53Farouk, man, I'm telling you, this is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

00:43:56Not only did The Rock bring intercontinental gold to the nation, but

00:44:00I've got the world's strongest man, Mark Henry, now in the nation.

00:44:03God, man, it's all for you.

00:44:04Hell.

00:44:05Folks, that's it for Raw tonight.

00:44:07Coming up next in the Warzone in 30 seconds, Shawn, Triple H, and Chyna, DX will be here.

00:44:12We're under, uh...

00:44:18Hangin' on the road and do what we feel so they can see that we are real.

00:44:29Hit the madness, play us for.

00:44:31What makes us seem good, we want more.

00:44:34Everyone get on your feet.

00:44:42Wait for it instead of shaggy.

00:44:46We've got another show to go.

00:44:50We're all together now.

00:44:54Now!

00:44:56Yeah!

00:44:58Are you ready?

00:45:01You think you can tell us what to wear?

00:45:07You think you can tell us what to wear?

00:45:11You think that you're better?

00:45:15Well, you better get ready.

00:45:19Bow to the masters.

00:45:22Break it down.

00:45:25You think you can tell me what to do?

00:45:31You're just outside of your own, what you're just gonna do.

00:45:34That's a break, boy.

00:45:36Yeah!

00:45:37That's a break, little man.

00:45:39Break it down!

00:45:40Yeah!

00:45:42Yeah!

00:45:44You're just outside of your own, what you're just gonna do.

00:45:47That's a break, boy.

00:45:49Yeah!

00:45:50That's a break, little man.

00:45:51Break it down!

00:45:52You think you can tell me what to do?

00:45:54You know who you're talking to?

00:45:59D-Generation X in the ring, and welcome to the War Zone, everybody.

00:46:07Jim Ross and Jerry the King Lawler here at ringside.

00:46:09Still to come, a big update on Mike Tyson.

00:46:13Is he gonna participate at WrestleMania?

00:46:15And is Mike Tyson gonna be at the Royal Rumble?

00:46:17Jim Corgess got a big surprise for him.

00:46:20You're gonna see Mankind, Big Gold House, plus the big Royal Rumble drawing,

00:46:25where I gotta believe 29 men are gonna be gunning for Stone Cold right here tonight.

00:46:31It's gonna be big, JR, but maybe not as big as what we're about to hear from the mouth

00:46:37of D-Generation X right now.

00:46:39John Michaels with a major announcement regarding The Undertaker's family.

00:46:43And we still don't know the condition of Owen Hart, who went on a very-

00:46:50Owen Hart, the last remnants of something that used to be,

00:47:01used to be in the bottom of our hopper floating around,

00:47:06where we'd flush it and flush it, and it kept coming back up to the surface.

00:47:11But a half hour ago, in the back of DX's limo,

00:47:16Owen got the big flush, and he's running down a sewer somewhere,

00:47:22headed to God knows where.

00:47:23Because you see, Owen was nothing but a lowly pledge to the greatest fraternity

00:47:30in the history of the world, DX.

00:47:34And when it came right down to it, Owen, you failed your final.

00:47:40And speaking of finals, to all you sorority girls out there,

00:47:49if any of you need a little help, give a call to old Dean Helmsley,

00:47:54and I'll give you some help that'll last all night long.

00:48:01Because I got the tips to give you the passing grade.

00:48:06And you know what? I'll not only give you the tip, I'll give you the whole thing.

00:48:13Because remember this, Triple H has got the head if you got the class.

00:48:25Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet.

00:48:33I got news for you Tyson, not in my universe.

00:48:47Mike Tyson, you've never had to shimmy to the sounds of sweet chin music.

00:48:53You may be the best boxer in the world, but you stick your nose in my business at the Royal Rumble,

00:49:06and the Heartbreak Kid is gonna dance all over your face.

00:49:13I'd like to see him try to do that.

00:49:16Well, we may get to see it.

00:49:17The speaking of the Royal Rumble, and no,

00:49:23I'm not talking about kicking the dead man's ass, because that's gonna happen.

00:49:31And this is concerning Kane.

00:49:37Never mind Shawn Michaels about Kane's family, or The Undertaker's family.

00:49:43I know all about family, and you three degenerates.

00:49:48You thought you could put me down with what you did?

00:49:50I'm a survivor.

00:49:52And I said before, I'm gonna make your life hell.

00:49:55You're real tough, boy.

00:49:58You're real tough when you're talking from a big screen somewhere else.

00:50:03But DX is right in the ring.

00:50:04If you wanna come out, we'll finish the job we started a little while ago.

00:50:08Uh-oh, there's Owen Hart, right up there on the stage.

00:50:19I'm standing and I'm ready, and I'll break your other leg, you gutless bastard.

00:50:25Look at Hemsley, he's trying to go after you.

00:50:30Well, Hemsley's got a dislocated knee with Patel.

00:50:33We need all the help we can get out here.

00:50:36Look out, look out.

00:50:40Owen Hart wants his hands on DX.

00:50:43What's gonna happen next?

00:50:50And welcome back, everybody.

00:50:51We are live in State College, Pennsylvania.

00:50:54This is the war zone.

00:50:56And we're about ready for tag team action here.

00:50:58Scotland 8-Ball of DOA making their way to the ring.

00:51:03The following tag team attraction is getting a loss.

00:51:06One fall with a 20-minute time limit.

00:51:08We know he's gonna make an announcement regarding the Undertaker's plan for Kane.

00:51:12Well, yeah, you know, maybe he was gonna call Kane out here, or I don't know.

00:51:17Shawn Michaels is not that stupid.

00:51:18I think he had something in mind.

00:51:20I think, you know, we're here at Penn State University.

00:51:22Maybe Shawn Michaels was gonna offer Kane a scholarship, a full free ride in D-Generation X.

00:51:28Who knows, huh?

00:51:29What do you think, JR?

00:51:30Well, I don't know.

00:51:32Ladies and gentlemen, last week, Jim Cornette surprised everyone when he introduced the

00:51:37National Wrestling Alliance and to the World Wrestling Federation.

00:51:42With Cornette's help in the match with the North American Heavyweight title.

00:51:47Jeff Jarrett defeated Barry Windham.

00:51:50Yeah, with the help of good old Jim Cornette.

00:51:54Look at that.

00:51:54So Jeff Jarrett is the new NWA North American Champion.

00:51:59Jeff is scheduled to be with us here tonight, but due to illness in his family, he is unable to-

00:52:03Can I have everybody's attention, please?

00:52:06Here we go.

00:52:08You know, last week, I reintroduced the NWA, the National Wrestling Alliance,

00:52:13to nationwide television, and Jeff Jarrett was crowned the NWA North American Heavyweight Champion.

00:52:21Well, the NWA has a great tradition in tag team wrestling, too.

00:52:26And everybody knows there were two teams that stood head and shoulders above all the rest,

00:52:31the Rock and Roll Express and the Midnight Express.

00:52:35Well, tonight, I have brought here to RAW the greatest tag team in the history of the National

00:52:42Wrestling Alliance.

00:52:44Ladies and gentlemen, they're five-time world tag team champions

00:52:49from Memphis, Tennessee, Ricky and Robert, the Rock and Roll Express.

00:52:55Wow, I don't believe this, but it's them.

00:53:00Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton, the Rock and Roll Express, for over a decade.

00:53:06Cornette and the Rock and Roll Express were at each other's throats.

00:53:11The battle between the Midnight Express managed by Cornette and the Rock and Roll Express were legendary.

00:53:16Ricky and Robert were great NWA champions.

00:53:19They beat all the great teams, like the Four Horsemen.

00:53:22They beat the fabulous Freebirds.

00:53:24This is, I'm amazed by this.

00:53:27Maybe we can get Jim Cornette to sit down here.

00:53:32This is like old home week for me, JR.

00:53:34Look at all these Tennessee boys.

00:53:35Brother, I'm telling you, can you believe this, JR?

00:53:38No, I can't.

00:53:39Ricky and Robert, the Rock and Roll Express.

00:53:41You know, I always said that the greatest tag team in the NWA was the Midnight Express.

00:53:47But we fought for ten years, and we couldn't get rid of these guys.

00:53:51And that's why we put our personal and our professional differences aside.

00:53:57Look out.

00:53:58So that, boom, he's gonna get up from that so that we can perpetuate the tradition of the NWA.

00:54:06That's why that I'm associated with the Rock and Roll Express.

00:54:09Traditional wrestling.

00:54:10Certainly want to welcome everybody to the War Zone.

00:54:12And I want to thank you for not only making our great broadcast here on Monday night,

00:54:17RAW the most watched television series on the USA Network.

00:54:20And by the way, folks, we've just been informed that RAW's War is the most watched sports

00:54:25entertainment program in the world.

00:54:26In the world.

00:54:27That includes the USA Network, our good friends at TSN in Canada, Sky Television in England,

00:54:32and of course, Star Television all over Asia.

00:54:35And we're very proud for our long association with the Armed Forces Network as well.

00:54:40Yeah.

00:54:40Where over one million servicemen and women watch the WWF each and every week.

00:54:46And you know why that is?

00:54:47Why is that?

00:54:47Because of the NWA, because of traditional wrestling that I'm bringing back to the WWF.

00:54:53The Rock and Roll Express, you know who they've beaten, JR, you know their credentials.

00:54:57Yeah.

00:54:57They have beaten the Midnight Express.

00:54:59They've beaten the fabulous Freebirds.

00:55:01They have beaten the Four Horsemen.

00:55:02Five-time NWA World Tag Team Champions since 1985.

00:55:07They have beaten every great team of the past 15 years.

00:55:10Wow.

00:55:11I'll tell you one thing again, ladies and gentlemen.

00:55:13Tell me I'm lying, JR.

00:55:15Tell me I'm not telling the truth.

00:55:16The NWA North American Champion Jeff Jarrett was scheduled to be here tonight.

00:55:19Unfortunately, he has an illness and his family could not be with him.

00:55:23We wish Jeff and his family the very best, quite frankly.

00:55:26Don't worry.

00:55:27Jeff Jarrett is gonna be back with us very soon.

00:55:30He is the North American Champion.

00:55:32And by the way, I forgot to mention Ricky and Robert are the NWA World Tag Team Champions.

00:55:36Whoa.

00:55:37But this is a non-title match.

00:55:38Wait a minute.

00:55:39That's illegal.

00:55:40Where are you going?

00:55:42Wait a minute.

00:55:43Cornette has left the broadcast position in the ring with that racket.

00:55:47Cornette, right in the spine of the DOA.

00:55:51Look at the referee.

00:55:54Hey, ref, I think that's a little bit illegal.

00:55:56Cornette got caught.

00:56:00He wronged in the ring.

00:56:02He's been really getting caught if he's not careful.

00:56:04Get out of there, Jim.

00:56:06Look at this.

00:56:08Eight ball with a big right hand.

00:56:11Come on.

00:56:11The bulbous Jim Cornette.

00:56:13Get away, Jimmy.

00:56:16Yes.

00:56:17Hold it alone.

00:56:18Keep it alone.

00:56:19Morton's got the racket.

00:56:21I can't believe Ricky and Robert Gibson for years, great fan favorites and associating with Cornette.

00:56:29Put the loaded racket to him, baby.

00:56:31Double drop kick, finish Rock and Roll Express.

00:56:35There you go.

00:56:37That's what the skull and eight ball there, a couple of thugs, they know exactly what they deserve.

00:56:41Chains, Chains is gonna take care of some business.

00:56:44It's finally three on three, and Cornette and his new buddies, I guess if you can't beat them,

00:56:50you'll join them.

00:56:51Morton against them, they better get out of here.

00:56:54Hey, look at all of them.

00:56:57We'll be seeing more, no doubt.

00:56:59NWA competitors from Jim Cornette in the upcoming weeks.

00:57:03Who could be next?

00:57:09And ladies and gentlemen, will Stone Cold Steve Austin get his tonight at the live Royal Rumble drawing?

00:57:16But I'll tell you what I can't wait for.

00:57:18I want Vince McMahon to get out here because I'm gonna grill him.

00:57:20I'm gonna find out what's really going on between McMahon, Don King, and that man, Mike Tyson.

00:57:26And they are bizarre, no not Vince McMahon and Don King, but Goldust and Mankind.

00:57:32The two most bizarre athletes ever in the WWF will get it on, and they'll do it next.

00:57:37And folks, we're gonna have the drawing for the 30 Royal Rumble participants right here tonight.

00:57:43I got a feeling of Stone Cold's got a big ol' bullseye on his chest.

00:57:47Yeah, but JR, while we're talking about phone calls, what did you say a while ago about the

00:57:50superstar line and some information about Hulk Hogan and the Royal Rumble?

00:57:54What was that?

00:57:54Come on, tell me.

00:57:55A lot of rumors circulating around regarding Hulk Hogan, the WWF, the Royal Rumble.

00:58:02We'll talk about it on the superstar line on auction three.

00:58:04Well, folks, earlier today, Cactus Jack was, well, he was looking over the Penn State campus

00:58:10and had this to say.

00:58:13I'm standing out here on the famed fields of Beaver Stadium at Penn State University,

00:58:19a place where many wars have been fought.

00:58:21I like to think I know a thing or two about wars, having been the survivor of many.

00:58:28The greatest warrior I've ever known was a man named Terry Funk, who together we shared

00:58:35a mutual mutilation for well over a year through barbed wire, bombs, blood and guts,

00:58:41and footage so vile and violent that has never before been shown in this country.

00:58:46And after the mutilation was over, a strange thing happened.

00:58:52I felt myself being closer to this man than anyone I'd ever known.

00:58:57So when Cactus Jack found himself in a two-on-one situation, well, the answer was clear.

00:59:03One phone call to Terry Funk.

00:59:05And the fact that this grown man wants to dress up in a pair of pantyhose and call himself Chainsaw Charlie,

00:59:10while I find the idea a little bit ridiculous, I say to each his own.

00:59:15But as far as the New Age Outlaws, I think you've got yourselves in a situation that you're not prepared for.

00:59:21We're going to make your life a living hell while we're brutalizing you and abusing you.

00:59:27I just want you to know, I don't want you to consider it punishment for sins you've committed.

00:59:34Think of it as a chance to get to know each other.

00:59:38It'll be the brutal bowl, bang bang!

00:59:44Did he say the brutal bowl?

00:59:47How many personalities do you have?

00:59:50Terry Funk, Chainsaw Charlie.

00:59:53Yeah, he's got two personalities, I hate both of them.

00:59:58They're like fraternity brothers now.

01:00:05I found it most interesting that Mankind had a little problem with the alter ego business.

01:00:10Of course, Nick Foley has three of them.

01:00:11By the way, folks, this Saturday, tickets go on sale in St. Paul, Minnesota, Wheeling, West Virginia, and Toledo, Ohio.

01:00:18On sale this Saturday at the respective box offices in St. Paul, Wheeling, and Toledo for huge events in March.

01:00:26And we are ready for the arrival of the bizarre gold dust.

01:00:30Oh, I can't wait.

01:00:31Wait, wait a minute.

01:00:33From Hollywood, California, weighing in at 260 pounds, the artist formerly known as Gold Dust.

01:00:45She's no dude ass.

01:00:48Look at that.

01:00:49And he isn't dude love, if you will.

01:00:52Yeah, that's dude love.

01:00:53Look, we saw this man earlier impersonating Sable, and now he thinks he's dude love.

01:00:59Anything for the spotlight, anything for the attention.

01:01:02I have no dude anywhere can tell by that big rear end, look at that.

01:01:06What's the man of a claw?

01:01:08Hey.

01:01:09And Mankind has a man of a claw of the artist formerly known as Gold Dust.

01:01:14That's dude love against Mankind.

01:01:16I've always wanted to see the, maybe Captain Jack can referee it.

01:01:19Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:01:22The rattlesnick strikes.

01:01:23What's he doing?

01:01:24Austin with a starter on Gold Dust.

01:01:27What is he doing?

01:01:30Look out.

01:01:35Hell yeah.

01:01:37No more Mr. Nice Guy until after this Rumble.

01:01:41Jim, someone told me yesterday at the airport, Steve, if you think you can win the Rumble,

01:01:45give me a hell yeah, and I give a hell yeah.

01:01:51That was a little too close for comfort, JR, but I got a feeling, everybody's gonna come

01:01:57after him tonight, and you know what, he deserves it, I can't wait to see it.

01:02:13Ladies and gentlemen, up next, we're gonna talk to Vince McMahon.

01:02:19What will Mike Tyson's role be at WrestleMania?

01:02:23How are the negotiations going?

01:02:25And will the baddest man on the planet be at the Royal Rumble?

01:02:28Stay with us.

01:02:28No doubt, ladies and gentlemen, all hell broke loose just a few moments ago as

01:02:33Mankind taking on Gold Dust.

01:02:35And here comes Stone Cold Steve Austin.

01:02:38And we see not only a stunner on Mankind, but one on Gold Dust as well.

01:02:43Quite the reminder that Austin is the man to beat this Sunday on Pay Per View during the

01:02:48Royal Rumble matchup.

01:02:49And now ladies and gentlemen, joining us is the owner of the World Wrestling Federation,

01:02:55Vince McMahon.

01:02:56And Vince, we'd like to know, have you completed your negotiations with Don King for

01:03:01Mike Tyson to participate at WrestleMania 14?

01:03:05Well, Mike Tyson is an invited guest at this Sunday's Royal Rumble.

01:03:12Yeah, they love you here, McMahon.

01:03:13Yes, no question about that.

01:03:15In any event, Mike Tyson, we hope to conclude negotiations with Mike at the Royal Rumble,

01:03:20where he will be this Sunday.

01:03:22Furthermore, I can guarantee you that on Raw, right here, live next week,

01:03:27Mike Tyson will be with us, where we hope to make a huge announcement.

01:03:31All right, well, Vince, thank you very much.

01:03:33Mike Tyson with us on Raw here next week.

01:03:36Live, right here next week on Raw.

01:03:37That is huge.

01:03:37Woo, whoa.

01:03:39And so is this.

01:03:43Mike Tyson is gonna be at the Royal Rumble as an invited guest, and

01:03:47he's gonna be here live on Raw next week.

01:03:49Sonny.

01:03:51Whoa.

01:03:51I guarantee you one thing, folks.

01:03:53If Mike Tyson works out this situation with Vince McMahon and Don King, all the advisors and so forth,

01:04:00there's no doubt in my mind that this WrestleMania will be the biggest of all time.

01:04:05And Lord knows, there have been some huge events, some huge WrestleManias in the past.

01:04:10I'm not wearing much under here, but in true Bentley Lion fashion,

01:04:15I want to introduce to you first, from Puerto Rico, acompañado con Jose Miguel,

01:04:24representing Los Boricuas, Xavier Vega, Jesus Castillo.

01:04:34Well, Sonny certainly puts a smile on everybody's face here in Happy Valley.

01:04:38And tag team action on tap, but we saw Los Boricuas last week in tag team action.

01:04:43And Owen Hart was victorious, by the way, on a one-on-one matchup, I should say,

01:04:47against Savio Vega.

01:04:49Yeah.

01:04:49But then it was obvious that the Boricuas were paid off by DX, because here's what happened.

01:04:55Well, that's right, I had told Owen to watch his back, but no, he turned his back on Los Boricuas

01:05:00to go after Triple H, and then he got back jumped.

01:05:04And you see what happened, they delivered Owen Hart to Triple H.

01:05:07Owen Hart has already been assaulted again tonight in DX's limousine.

01:05:13There you see the payola, DX paying off Savio Vega, the leader, Los Boricuas.

01:05:18Get a shot of Sonny.

01:05:22Here's one of your favorites coming up.

01:05:24Yeah, right.

01:05:25And their opponent, first, the West Bromade,

01:05:29weighing 210 pounds, Rhea, Scott, Taylor, and his partner,

01:05:36weighing 206 pounds, from Wario Grady-Wase, Japan, Tanya Michinaku.

01:05:45Put the camera on Sonny.

01:05:46Give the WWF answer to Anthony Quinn, a dirty old man.

01:05:50Hey, listen.

01:05:50Good grief.

01:05:51Well, I'll tell you what.

01:05:54I'm not embarrassed to be with younger women, except when I drop them off at school.

01:05:58Well, I ain't going there.

01:06:00I'm going- Come here, Sonny, come right over here.

01:06:02But I'm going to the Royal Rumble Sunday, and Mike Tyson's gonna be there,

01:06:06the baddest man on the planet, and somebody feels froggy in the WWF locker room.

01:06:11King, you know somebody's gonna wanna knock their gun.

01:06:13Sure, absolutely, I already heard Shawn Michaels say that he's gonna get right in

01:06:17the face of the baddest man on the planet, Mike Tyson.

01:06:19Well, he may have to get in line behind me, because I might get right in Mike Tyson's face.

01:06:23You're smarter than that.

01:06:24Yeah?

01:06:25And you won't get in Tyson's face long, buddy.

01:06:27You think Don King will be here, I'll get in his face.

01:06:29And Scott Taylor drop kicking, Jesus Castillo through the ropes here.

01:06:34Tag team action, Takamichinoku is the WWF's first light heavyweight champ, my.

01:06:40Isn't that embarrassing?

01:06:42Somebody that can't even speak two words of English is champion here.

01:06:45Who did he beat in the finals of that tournament?

01:06:47Fair and square in the middle of the ring.

01:06:47He cheated, no, it wasn't fair and square.

01:06:49Well, that was your boy, that was your son.

01:06:51Shut up.

01:06:52The Thief.

01:06:52Hey, I'm gonna knock you so far, you'll need a postcard.

01:06:55You'll need $14 to send me a postcard.

01:06:57I'm gonna tell you something about Takamichinoku.

01:06:59We're here at Penn State University.

01:07:01He needs to stay here.

01:07:02He can't even speak English.

01:07:03He's learning.

01:07:04Two words, yeah.

01:07:05I got two words for Takamichinoku, free card.

01:07:08He learned four words.

01:07:09How about Rakeem the Jackass?

01:07:11Is that right?

01:07:12That's what he learned.

01:07:12But he's learning more.

01:07:14I got a word for him, deported.

01:07:16How about that?

01:07:17Look at this.

01:07:18Scott Taylor elevated up and over to the apron there by Jesus.

01:07:22And Taylor comes down to the clothesline.

01:07:24And Scott Taylor now with the armed bard, Mike Tyson.

01:07:29You know, last time when Lawrence Taylor came to the Royal Rumble in 95,

01:07:34as an invited guest, Van Van Bigelow took the opportunity to make headlines.

01:07:41That's right.

01:07:41There's a lot of press.

01:07:43Hey, that's right.

01:07:43All of these big shot celebrities wanna hang around the WWF superstars.

01:07:47Well, it is a great opportunity to get your name on the front page,

01:07:50just like Van Van Bigelow did.

01:07:52He slapped a taste out of Lawrence Taylor's mouth, and it was all over the pages of

01:07:56the press the next day.

01:07:58Hey, I did the same thing with Andy Kaufman a few years back.

01:08:01Remember that?

01:08:01And he was a real man's man, wasn't he?

01:08:03Well, shouldn't have come around wrestling.

01:08:04And look at Takamichinoku top, victory roll, and a near fall.

01:08:08Who in the world, Wrestling Federation, has the guts to get right in Mike Tyson's space?

01:08:14Well, me for one, Ralph, and I'm sure Shawn Michaels, why anybody would.

01:08:17How about the toughest SOB in the WWF?

01:08:20That ain't you either.

01:08:21I'm talking about Stone Cold Steve Austin.

01:08:23My gosh, can you see Mike Tyson getting stunned by Steve Austin?

01:08:27What would that be?

01:08:28Well, Irish at far side and break, spinning heel kick by Savio Vega on Takamichinoku.

01:08:37What about the artist formerly known as Goldust.

01:08:39He's twisted, he's perverted, he's sick.

01:08:41I like that in a person.

01:08:42He might get right in Mike Tyson's face.

01:08:44What about Kane?

01:08:44Sure.

01:08:45What about the phenom of Undertaker?

01:08:47Hey, what about your little Otakamichinoku there?

01:08:50Japanese are so smart, how come they still eat with sticks?

01:08:53Get him, stop him.

01:08:54Savio and Jesus make the exchange.

01:08:58And I'll tell you what, what a weekend it's gonna be.

01:09:01Royal Rumble happens only once a year, almost three hours of nonstop action.

01:09:07And the elbow drive right on the-

01:09:10You know, I've been thinking about what McMahon said.

01:09:13He sort of was kind of waffling or weaseling there.

01:09:15I don't think he actually guaranteed yet that Mike Tyson was gonna be at WrestleMania.

01:09:20But he did guarantee that he's gonna be at the Rumble, and

01:09:22he's gonna be here on Raw next week live.

01:09:24You know, Don King's a tough negotiator.

01:09:26He drives a hard bargain.

01:09:27What about McMahon?

01:09:28Well, he's pretty tough too.

01:09:29He throws quarters around like they're manhole covers.

01:09:31He probably don't want to come up with the cheese.

01:09:33Seems about race time.

01:09:35And there's a downer up and over.

01:09:37Look at this.

01:09:38Scott Taylor's a great young athlete right there.

01:09:40It was a good indication of that, of his athleticism.

01:09:44High elevation, back body drop.

01:09:46They can't hold a candle to your son, good old BC, Ryan Christopher.

01:09:50Please.

01:09:51He made the announcement right here.

01:09:52He was your son.

01:09:53Well, he tells a story too.

01:09:55Double drop kick right there.

01:09:57Shades of the Rock and Roll Express who we saw earlier with Jim Cornetta ball people.

01:10:01I can't believe that.

01:10:03Corny left his glasses out here.

01:10:05Don't try to steal it.

01:10:07My gosh, look at that.

01:10:10Beautiful.

01:10:12Scott Taylor now going up on tall point.

01:10:15Scott Taylor could be going for a moonsault there.

01:10:18Savio just single-handedly eliminated that team, didn't he?

01:10:22Our strength in numbers, there's no doubt about that.

01:10:24Bye-bye, Scott.

01:10:25What's this gonna be?

01:10:26And what is- My gosh.

01:10:28Devastating move, a version of a suplex on Scott Taylor.

01:10:34And Los Periquas win this matchup.

01:10:37I wanna know what Shawn Michaels wants with Kane.

01:10:39Well, come on, that's enough.

01:10:42Here are the winners of this party, Savio Jesus of Los Periquas.

01:10:48Well, Taka Mencinoco trying to come to the aid of his partner.

01:10:53And wait a minute, there's Owen Hart.

01:10:54What?

01:10:55Owen Hart, the crotch.

01:11:00Owen Hart broke the crotch on Miguel.

01:11:03Come on.

01:11:04And Los Periquas who ganged up on Owen Hart last week.

01:11:08They were paid by DX to do it.

01:11:10And Owen Hart is seeking some retribution.

01:11:12Come on.

01:11:14Somewhere, someday, Owen Hart is gonna get his hands on DX, specifically Triple H.

01:11:21Uh-oh, listen.

01:11:26He's that nugget that just won't stay down.

01:11:28But I got news for him.

01:11:30He's a black hawk.

01:11:31DX is gonna be here later on.

01:11:32They may do the final flush on him.

01:11:34Hey, baby.

01:11:35Look who's next to me.

01:11:36I see her.

01:11:37Sonny right here.

01:11:38Me and Sonny at Penn State.

01:11:39Get a camera on this.

01:11:40All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to take you back to 1995.

01:11:44There's Anthony Quinn here.

01:11:45Wait a minute.

01:11:46You know, Sonny at school, when she was in college, she wasn't very good in history,

01:11:50but she was great on dates.

01:11:52Ladies and gentlemen, 1995 Royal Rumble was in Tampa, Florida at the Sun Dome.

01:11:57Bam Bam Bigelow competing there.

01:11:59And Lawrence Taylor, the greatest linebacker, outside linebacker in the history of the NFL is there.

01:12:05He's a Hall of Famer.

01:12:06And Bam Bam thought that LT was laughing at him.

01:12:10He was laughing at him.

01:12:11LT was totally disrespecting Bam Bam Bigelow.

01:12:14He was disrespecting the WWE and wrestling.

01:12:17Yes, he was, look at him.

01:12:18Look at the smile on LT's face.

01:12:20All Bam Bam was doing was looking for an opportunity to make a name for himself.

01:12:25So Bam Bam Bigelow's name on the front page of the paper to get everybody talking about it.

01:12:30He was looking for a SportsCenter moment.

01:12:33Right. And I gotta believe that somebody,

01:12:35this Sunday the Royal Rumble will try to do the same thing with Iron Mike Tyson.

01:12:39Exactly, and can you blame him?

01:12:41They may do it next week on Raw here.

01:12:43Well, ladies and gentlemen, still to come, you gotta wonder, will Stone Cold get his

01:12:49tonight live during the Royal Rumble drawing?

01:12:53I hope.

01:12:54You think you can tell us what to do?

01:13:04You think you can tell us what to wear?

01:13:08You think that you're better?

01:13:12Well, if Shawn Michaels is gonna call out Kane, it'll be grimmer than a dark alley at midnight.

01:13:27Could the collisions be upcoming next?

01:13:30And now, the Twix Rewind with Twix Cookie Bars.

01:13:36It's always two for me and none for you.

01:13:40Michael!

01:13:41Forget about it!

01:13:42Michael's has been eliminated!

01:13:44Yes!

01:13:45Wait a minute!

01:13:46Wait a minute!

01:13:47Only one of Shawn Michaels' feet hit the floor.

01:13:52What?

01:13:53Michael's the first man in!

01:13:56And the last man standing.

01:14:00That was the Twix Rewind.

01:14:02Two for me, none for you.

01:14:05We are back live, ladies and gentlemen, of State College, Pennsylvania.

01:14:10Michael Cole standing by with D-Generation X.

01:14:13Shawn Michaels, a bit earlier this evening, you had promised a huge announcement.

01:14:21Could we maybe get that announcement now?

01:14:27Everybody saw, last week, Paul Bearer and Kane have split ways.

01:14:36And Kane has wandered off, out into the world, all alone.

01:14:45D-Generation X would be glad to stand here, open arms, like the family Kane never had, and

01:14:59accept him into our family of D-Generation X.

01:15:05Ladies.

01:15:06What?

01:15:07And gentlemen.

01:15:08What I thought.

01:15:09The newest member of D-Generation X, Kane.

01:15:18This is too much.

01:15:19This is too much.

01:15:21I gotta see it to believe, I can't see anything.

01:15:23Wait a minute.

01:15:28That isn't Kane music.

01:15:31That's the music of the one and the only Phenom, The Undertaker.

01:15:38The Undertaker and Michaels.

01:15:40Wait a minute, wait.

01:15:43It's The Undertaker, the man that will meet Shawn Michaels this Sunday, the Royal Rumble,

01:15:56with a WWF title, casket match rules.

01:16:00And Generation X calls out Kane, but they get The Undertaker.

01:16:06As you like to say, business is fixing to pick up.

01:16:09It's colder than the other side of the pillow in here.

01:16:13Michael Hemsley in China, D-Generation X did not bargain for this.

01:16:21They have not invited The Undertaker to join their fraternity.

01:16:26I can't believe they're still standing in the ring.

01:16:29Oh, this is gonna, this could get really, really interesting in a hurry.

01:16:51Now, Michaels, I would appreciate it if you left my family out of this.

01:17:01This has nothing to do with my little brother Kane.

01:17:05And if I was you, I'd be worried about the Royal Rumble,

01:17:10the World Wrestling Federation title, and The Undertaker punching about a six-inch hole

01:17:16right in the middle of your forehead.

01:17:19Whoa.

01:17:21Look out.

01:17:22Undertaker's.

01:17:23Look out for me, look out.

01:17:24Ty Michaels.

01:17:25And now he's got Tyna.

01:17:27Tyna for the ride.

01:17:30No.

01:17:31Hemsley with a crutch.

01:17:33And now Hemsley on one leg.

01:17:35He's fixing to be permanently crippled.

01:17:37You don't wanna have one leg.

01:17:38And a book to the podcast.

01:17:40Sweet Shin Music.

01:17:42Michaels striking The Undertaker.

01:17:45And now Michaels using Helmsley's crutch.

01:17:50The Undertaker being hammered with that crutch after the Sweet Shin Music.

01:17:57Michael continues to assault The Undertaker.

01:18:06And now Hemsley, the WWE Champion, asserting himself on The Undertaker.

01:18:15He's giving The Undertaker a taste of what's gonna happen.

01:18:17That's not the end of the Royal Rumble.

01:18:19He's blasting.

01:18:20Look at this, JR.

01:18:21It's The Harley Strong versus The Harley Moon.

01:18:25Uh-oh.

01:18:26Uh-oh.

01:18:27My.

01:18:28Don't tell me.

01:18:29Uh-oh.

01:18:33Boy.

01:18:36Boy.

01:18:37I can't see anything.

01:18:43He'll walk right to hell.

01:18:47He's Kane.

01:18:49The question is, is he coming to assist DX or to dismantle them?

01:18:56I gotta believe he's coming to help DX.

01:19:00I gotta believe he's gonna join D-Generation X because this is his final chance.

01:19:06This will be the end of The Undertaker.

01:19:08This is now The Rumble.

01:19:09Yes.

01:19:10The Undertaker will not, no, no, no, no, no.

01:19:14Kane has Michaels.

01:19:19Michaels may go for a ride.

01:19:21No.

01:19:22Triple H.

01:19:23Nobody wants any part of Kane.

01:19:26Kane has come to help his brother.

01:19:29Unbelievable.

01:19:32Look at this.

01:19:36And D-Generation X has better get out of here.

01:19:41Kane's right behind him.

01:19:42He's after him.

01:19:43Run, Hunter, if you can.

01:19:46D-Generation X laid waste to The Undertaker until The Taker's brother Kane.

01:19:54I guarantee you one thing, we're gonna have a new WWE Champion at WrestleMania.

01:20:02Kane will be there.

01:20:04You gotta believe he'll negate Michaels in China.

01:20:08And then it'll be one on one and when that happens, The Undertaker will be the new champion.

01:20:13And look at that.

01:20:14Kane apparently is extending his hand in some sort of bond or friendship to his older brother.

01:20:22And Undertaker is returning it.

01:20:24What a moment.

01:20:31What a moment in the World Wrestling Federation.

01:20:35And finally, The Undertaker seemingly had a smile on his face.

01:20:41I hate to agree with you, Jim Ross.

01:20:43I'm not saying there's gonna be a new champion at the Royal Rumble, but I guess there's gonna be a new champion at the Royal Rumble.

01:20:49And his name is The Undertaker, the greatest phenom of all time.

01:20:55And ladies and gentlemen, up next, we're gonna have the Royal Rumble drawing.

01:21:01And will Stone Cold get his?

01:21:03And folks, tonight is the last night that you have the opportunity to call and enter to win Stone Cold Steve Austin's truck.

01:21:13Somebody's gonna get Austin tonight though.

01:21:17Well, ladies and gentlemen, it was one of the most tremendous moments in WWF history.

01:21:20It happened just minutes ago.

01:21:22Shawn Michaels and DX doing a real number on The Undertaker.

01:21:25And then here came Kane.

01:21:27And Kane, yes, would help his own brother, The Undertaker.

01:21:31What a moment.

01:21:35I couldn't believe it.

01:21:36It was the one opportunity Kane had to finish off The Undertaker, but he didn't take it.

01:21:41He helped his own brother.

01:21:42And then there was that, I don't know if you'd call it a salute.

01:21:45It was like two brothers making contact after years of separation.

01:21:50And King, you agreed if King is there to neutralize Helmsley and China, The Undertaker is gonna be the next WWF champion.

01:22:00It's gonna happen this Sunday on pay per view.

01:22:03Like I said, I hate to agree with you, JR, but I think you're right this time.

01:22:06The Nation of Domination already in the ring, ladies and gentlemen.

01:22:09Several athletes that will be competing in the Royal Rumble match itself are already in the ring of many WWF officials.

01:22:16Uh-oh.

01:22:17Here comes one man that wants to win it.

01:22:19One man that has suffered from the Stone Cold Stunner.

01:22:22He is angry, he's hot at Mark Henry and the Nation of Domination.

01:22:27Look out, here he goes, right here.

01:22:28This is not supposed to be a fight, wait a minute.

01:22:31Shamrock and Mark Henry getting it on here, and these officials are gonna-

01:22:36Calm it down, stop it now.

01:22:37Let's get some control.

01:22:39What is this?

01:22:44Look, it's the Honky Tonk Man.

01:22:46The Honky Tonk Man.

01:22:48The officials are trying to maintain order.

01:22:51The Honky Tonk Man apparently has just entered the Royal Rumble.

01:22:55What?

01:22:56And look at the officials in the ring.

01:22:58We've got Chaos, Vader and Goldustin.

01:23:02They better watch out, Honky Tonk Man will whip everybody in there.

01:23:07What are you, his cousin?

01:23:09Greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time.

01:23:11Yes, he is.

01:23:12Or so he says.

01:23:13There he is.

01:23:14Uh-oh.

01:23:15You wanna get down?

01:23:17You wanna get dirty?

01:23:18You wanna be hardcore?

01:23:21There's your man, Cactus Jack.

01:23:25He's a weirdo.

01:23:26And his buddy Terry Buck, also known as Chainsaw Charlie.

01:23:30Right.

01:23:31He'll be in the Royal Rumble.

01:23:32Mack himself this Sunday on Pay Per View.

01:23:35And Mike Tyson is gonna be there to witness it all.

01:23:38It's gonna be unbelievable.

01:23:39You can have Cactus Jack.

01:23:40We're here at Penn State.

01:23:41I think he belongs in State Penn.

01:23:43Whoa, look out.

01:23:44And here's the man that they've all been waiting for.

01:23:48Yeah.

01:23:49Everybody's gonna step up to the plate to get a piece of stuff.

01:23:52Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:23:54He's behind you.

01:23:55Austin from behind.

01:23:56Stone Cold.

01:23:58Austin is a marked man that just outsmarted the field.

01:24:17And the fight is on.

01:24:20He came from behind.

01:24:23He outsmarted everybody.

01:24:24Look what he started.

01:24:25My gosh.

01:24:26Look at this, look at this.

01:24:29They've got Austin on the stage.

01:24:32The nation and Savio have got Stone Cold up there.

01:24:37Rocky Maivia, Savio Vega.

01:24:39I told you, I told you Stone Cold was gonna get it tonight.

01:24:42He's getting it.

01:24:43He deserves it.

01:24:44Austin is being a sergeant of three men.

01:24:47Stop it.

01:24:48It is mayhem.

01:24:52If this is any indication of what this Sunday's Royal Rebels gonna be like.

01:24:58Even Mike Tyson couldn't stop this.
