00:03:02The WWF returns to network television tonight, and we're proud to be back.
00:03:09Hello, everybody, and welcome to WWF Smackdown.
00:03:14This price is jacked.
00:03:15The WWF fans are pumped here on UPN.
00:03:19Michael Cole, Jim Cornette, every size.
00:03:22Michael, it's going to be a tremendous night tonight.
00:03:24Network television, the WWF, what a combination.
00:03:32Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Stephanie and Vince McMahon.
00:03:41He is the owner of the World Wrestling Federation.
00:03:44He's run this company for two decades.
00:03:48But what a hellish week it's been for Vince McMahon, flanked there by his young daughter,
00:03:53Stephanie McMahon.
00:03:55That's right, the abduction by The Undertaker, and the ordeal that Stephanie went through,
00:04:00the ordeal that Vince went through to finally get his daughter back in the fold.
00:04:04And you see the security still here just to make sure something like that doesn't happen again.
00:04:08Stone Cold Steve Austin staged Stephanie this past Monday night on Raw,
00:04:12despite Austin's deep hatred for Vince McMahon, Stephanie's father.
00:04:17But as you can see, Vince McMahon, very excited, elated, extremely happy tonight.
00:04:22I'm extremely proud to stand before you here tonight.
00:04:29And even more proud to be standing next to my daughter, Stephanie.
00:04:36However, I'm proud a lot of my personal accomplishments, but not so proud of some of my business ones.
00:04:44And I'd like to address that.
00:04:49And you're right.
00:04:50I have been that.
00:04:53Yes.
00:04:54I have been that.
00:04:56And hopefully, hopefully I can change.
00:05:00That has been me.
00:05:18In my business life, there's no question I have been ruthless, uncaring of others.
00:05:25In the past, certainly I've stepped on a lot of toes.
00:05:28I dare say I've even crushed a few.
00:05:30And I've all done it in the name of business.
00:05:32And sometimes I've done it at the expense of my family.
00:05:38So I have an opportunity now to do something about that.
00:05:43Is tonight I take the first step in regaining control of my own company.
00:05:49I know that I will certainly be competitive, no doubt.
00:05:54I'll be a competitive SOB as far as my company is concerned.
00:05:59But along the way in the future, I'm going to stop, smell the roses, and I'm going to thank those individuals who have helped me become the success that I am.
00:06:11And I'm going to start, by the way, with thanking tonight, not only the world's most dangerous man, but certainly a man who is at least that loyal.
00:06:21So I'd like to thank Ken Shamrock for helping Stephanie.
00:06:25I'd like to thank, as well, I'd like to thank the Big Show.
00:06:32I'd like to thank him and his heart that's every bit as big as his 500-pound body, again, for coming to the aid of Stephanie.
00:06:41And most especially, I would like to thank, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:06:50Whoa!
00:06:53You ever think you'd hear that?
00:06:55Never.
00:06:55I would also like to personally thank Ken Shamrock, the Big Show, and most importantly, Stone Cold Steve Austin
00:07:11for helping me with The Undertaker on Monday night.
00:07:19I was taken against my will, stripped of my clothes, and dressed in a black gown for an unholy wedding.
00:07:38And I have never felt so powerless and violated in all my life.
00:07:43The Undertaker, he kept, he kept touching me.
00:07:50And whispering in my ears that I was his, and there was nothing I could do about it.
00:08:02So, Steve, I'd just like to say, from the bottom of my heart and my soul, for whatever reason you did it,
00:08:13thank you, I will never forget what you did for me.
00:08:18And Undertaker, I hope you burn in hell.
00:08:26Strong words!
00:08:29Imagine what Stephanie McMahon had been through.
00:08:31So, Stone Cold, I hope you can hear me, because tonight, I'd like to make a promise.
00:08:37I'd like to make a promise to you, Stone Cold.
00:08:39I'd like to make a promise to you, Stone Cold.
00:08:43Uh-oh.
00:08:45Family trouble brewing.
00:08:49That's Shane McMahon, co-owner of the WWF and Vince's only son.
00:08:55And he's on the stage with his Streamline Corporation.
00:09:00And Jim, it was just a few weeks ago that Shane McMahon rebuked his father, humiliated Vince,
00:09:07seizing control of the corporation, while Vince was distracted by The Undertaker's threats to step in it.
00:09:13Shane McMahon has had it the way he's wanted it his entire life.
00:09:16He's had everything handed to him.
00:09:17The only thing he's ever taken on his own was his own father's company.
00:09:21And it looks like Vince wants that company back.
00:09:26Shane McMahon on a serious power trip in recent weeks.
00:09:30Triple H, China, The Boss Man, and The Mean Street Posse here to be Shane McMahon's backup, Michael.
00:09:39Yeah, The Mean Street Posse, punks from Greenwich, Connecticut, who grew up with Shane McMahon.
00:09:44Now at his side every step of the way.
00:09:47And the chance once reserved for Vince McMahon, now being thrown the way of his son Shane.
00:09:59First of all, what are you doing here?
00:10:04You know what?
00:10:04Never mind.
00:10:05I don't even want to hear it.
00:10:07I have to address one thing.
00:10:09Last Monday night, when The Undertaker abducted Stephanie, do you not think that myself or
00:10:17the entire corporation would have been there for my own flesh and blood, my sister, if something
00:10:22bad were to have happened?
00:10:24Do you not think I would have been there for you?
00:10:26What type of human being do you think I am?
00:10:30What kind of a human being do I think you are, Shane?
00:10:35I think that...
00:10:36Shut your mouth.
00:10:37That's enough out of you.
00:10:38I don't even want to hear it anymore.
00:10:42Total disrespect yet again.
00:10:43All of a sudden, Vince McMahon is out here apologizing for how you used to run business.
00:10:53What happened to the most ruthless tycoon in the history of the world?
00:10:56You all of a sudden grew a conscience overnight?
00:10:59And then it makes me sick to my stomach.
00:11:01I almost regurgitated in the back.
00:11:03You're out here thanking Stone Cold Steve Austin for saving your precious little daughter Stephanie,
00:11:10daddy's little girl.
00:11:13What a steal a line from Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:11:16You know what?
00:11:16As it relates to business, I don't give a rat's ass about daddy's little girl.
00:11:21I don't give a rat's ass about Stone Cold, and I don't give a rat's ass about you.
00:11:27What the hell has gotten into Shane?
00:11:30Power.
00:11:30Well, then maybe you should give a rat's ass about this.
00:11:38Whoa, whoa.
00:11:38I got this.
00:11:39Yo, yo, yo, yo.
00:11:39Back it up.
00:11:40Back it up.
00:11:41Hold on.
00:11:41Back it up, Hunter.
00:11:42John, I got this one.
00:11:44Just chill out for one second.
00:11:47Better step back.
00:11:49Matter of fact, you know what?
00:11:51You better get your attitude out of my face, Vince, before I slap the wrinkles out of yours.
00:11:56Come on.
00:11:57A son talking to a father like that.
00:12:02Now you may leave and take your precious little daughter with you.
00:12:05Get to stepping.
00:12:07This is my show.
00:12:08I'm running things here.
00:12:11See ya.
00:12:13You know, one day, Shane, you may be a man.
00:12:17Tonight, you're acting like a petulant little boy.
00:12:20Well, let Wonder Boy show you to the door.
00:12:28That's it.
00:12:29Corporation, escort them out.
00:12:30There you go.
00:12:31There it is.
00:12:34Let's give Vince and Stephanie, Daddy's Little Girl, a big hand.
00:12:37Thank you very much for coming here this evening.
00:12:41Sayonara.
00:12:41You know what, Vince?
00:12:43You know what?
00:12:44Daddy's Little Girl, Steph?
00:12:46That's right.
00:12:47Go back.
00:12:47Get in your limo.
00:12:48You can be home in about 35 minutes, and you can watch the rest of SmackDown on television.
00:12:54See you later.
00:12:56So sad.
00:12:57Too bad.
00:12:58Bye-bye.
00:13:00Adios.
00:13:02Sayonara.
00:13:02Stephanie hadn't been there.
00:13:05I think things may have been different.
00:13:08Vince staying above it all.
00:13:11Warning his son he'll get his one day, and then taking Stephanie to leave the arena.
00:13:18And you hit it right.
00:13:20Jim, Shane McMahon is drunk with power, no doubt about it.
00:13:24Now that little nuisance is over, let me get down to business right here this evening.
00:13:29You see, there have been two thorns in Shane McMahon's side as of late.
00:13:35Two people, matter of fact, and they're both tied for number one on Shane McMahon's hit list.
00:13:41And that is the so-called people's champ, The Rock.
00:13:51And Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:13:53Now, since you both have had such a nice history together, since you can't get along at all, you want to tear each other's heads off.
00:14:06You know what?
00:14:06Tonight, in this very ring, Stone Cold Steve Austin will be teamed up with the Brahma Bull, The Rock.
00:14:16Whoa!
00:14:16No, that's never happened.
00:14:22Arch rivals teaming up tonight.
00:14:24The only thing I need now is some opponents for Stone Cold and The Rock.
00:14:30Are there any volunteers?
00:14:35Yeah, of course, corporate sellout.
00:14:38Triple H, contestant number one to take on The Rock and Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
00:14:43Are there any more volunteers?
00:14:51Anybody?
00:14:51The party one in.
00:14:53Everybody's volunteering.
00:14:54Are there any takers?
00:14:58Wait a minute.
00:14:59Wait a minute.
00:15:01Wait a minute.
00:15:11Wait a minute.
00:15:12That's the music of The Undertaker.
00:15:16Austin, this past month, you ruined a very special ceremony.
00:15:24I was only moments away from making Stephanie McMahon my bride and servant.
00:15:31See, Austin, what you've done is stick your nose in a place where it had no business.
00:15:39Monday night, you played the role of the spoiler.
00:15:44Tonight, I'm going to play multiple roles.
00:15:48Judge.
00:15:51Jury.
00:15:53Execution.
00:15:54The brahma bull.
00:15:54The brahma bull.
00:16:08The rattlesnake.
00:16:10Right here tonight on SmackDown against Triple H and The Undertaker.
00:16:16What?
00:16:16Can you feel that power?
00:16:20Can you feel the power of Shane McMahon?
00:16:24And why does this all happen?
00:16:30Because Shane McMahon said so.
00:16:35What a shocker, Jim.
00:16:39How in the world did Shane pull this off?
00:16:41How did he manage this one?
00:16:42I don't know that he has pulled it off.
00:16:44I think The Undertaker's the guy that calls his own shots.
00:16:47I don't know what's going on.
00:16:49Hello again, everybody, and welcome to SmackDown.
00:16:52Thanks for joining us.
00:16:53Michael Cole, Jim Cornette at ringside.
00:16:55And I'll tell you, it may be one of the biggest tag team matches in the history of the WWF.
00:17:00The Rock and Stone Cold, arch enemies on one side against Triple H and The Undertaker.
00:17:06Well, that's right, but you talk about tag team action, there's gonna be some more tag team action.
00:17:10The New Age Outlaws have earned the right to face Kane and X-Pac for the WWF tag team titles.
00:17:15Members of DX once again on opposing teams with friendship for the gold prevail.
00:17:20Plus the corporate enforcer, the big boss man in action tonight against one of the most
00:17:25deranged individuals in the history of the WWF, Mankind.
00:17:29And also, as a result of last Monday's Donnybrook, the world's most dangerous man,
00:17:34former UFC champion Ken Shamrock, is gonna face Bradshaw of the Acolytes in a street fight.
00:17:40Anything goes, no hold guard.
00:17:43I'll tell you what, that will not be for the weak.
00:17:45Where the hell is he?
00:17:46He knows he's got a match now.
00:17:48Did you check the world match it?
00:17:49Maybe I'm not sure.
00:17:53The WWF needs a superhero.
00:17:55And I'm here to bring him one.
00:17:57Woo!
00:17:59That's the blue blazer.
00:18:00Blue blazer.
00:18:01He's the former Intercontinental Champion, and
00:18:04it leads former adult film star, Val Venus on his way to the ring.
00:18:08Who Jim has spent more time in recent days dodging Nicole Bass, the six foot 240 pound bodyguard for
00:18:15the WWF Women's Champion, Sable.
00:18:17Well, that's right, Michael has been on his way to the ring.
00:18:20He's the former Intercontinental Champion, and it leads former adult film star, Val Venus on his way to the ring,
00:18:24who Jim has spent more time in recent days dodging Nicole Bass, the six foot 240 pound bodyguard for the WWF Women's Champion, Sable.
00:18:31Well, that's right, Michael, as much as Val Venus is noted for having an eye for the ladies.
00:18:42In this case, Nicole Bass has proved she's got an eye for Val.
00:18:46Nicole saved Val Venus in a recent match, and now where Val goes, Nicole has followed.
00:18:52How many for romantic advances haven't been welcomed by the big Val Boeski?
00:18:57The big Val Boeski in recent weeks, you saw this past week on Raw on USA, had her eyes on Deborah,
00:19:04when Nicole Bass once again came down with her eyes set on Val Venus.
00:19:09Hello, ladies.
00:19:12Ladies, tonight, I would like to invite each and every single one of you
00:19:22to invest in the big Val Boeski's mutual fund.
00:19:28You see, it's always up more than it's down, and I can guarantee you with this fund,
00:19:35there will never be an early withdrawal.
00:19:40He's one of a kind.
00:19:43Well, speaking of one of a kind, we're going to head toward two of a kind.
00:19:47Jeff Jarrett and the lovely Deborah.
00:19:54Now, this is interesting, Jim, because Jeff Jarrett's tag team partner, Owen Hart,
00:19:58was actually scheduled to take on Val Venus in this matchup.
00:20:02Jeff Jarrett heading down to the ring here.
00:20:04Jeff's a former Intercontinental and tag team champion.
00:20:07But does Deborah, we don't know her relationship with Jeff Jarrett, but has Deborah had eyes
00:20:11for Val in recent weeks?
00:20:13Well, Deborah has definitely had, I guess, a mutual attraction going on between Val Venus
00:20:19and Deborah, because they've been giving each other the eye.
00:20:22But I'll tell you this, I know one fact, Jeff Jarrett is not too crazy about any potential
00:20:27relationship between Deborah and the big Val Boeski.
00:20:31He pulls her away every time, Michael.
00:20:35You watch Val Venus in the corner, obviously smitten with Deborah.
00:20:38Val, I don't know where the hell Owen's at, and it pisses me off.
00:20:45But tonight, you consider me his replacement.
00:20:48Ring the damn bell.
00:20:51So here we go now, Jeff Jarrett to take on, wait a minute.
00:20:55Jarrett to take on Val Venus, and from behind, that's the Blue Blazer.
00:20:59It's the Blue Blazer attacking Val Venus from behind.
00:21:02Michael, you know as well as I do, that's Owen Hart under that mask.
00:21:05The Blue Blazer is Owen Hart's bizarre alter ego that he adopts from time to time
00:21:10when he wants to drive everybody crazy.
00:21:13Owen Hart first came into the WWF as the Blue Blazer.
00:21:17And now Owen Hart obviously donning the mask once again.
00:21:20Val Venus in trouble, Blue Blazer to the top rope, Venus up quickly.
00:21:24Here comes Blazer with a dropkick to the chin.
00:21:27Well, Deborah cheering on both her men here.
00:21:30You know, Deborah, she seems to enjoy any attention that she gets from any man,
00:21:34as long as she's in the center of the spotlight.
00:21:36Glad you could join us for SmackDown here on UPN.
00:21:40We hear the huge news of that big tag team matchup tonight.
00:21:43The Undertaker and Triple H against Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock.
00:21:48And that's something that Austin and The Rock obviously have never teamed up.
00:21:52They've had wars against each other.
00:21:53This tag team has never taken place.
00:21:56And I'm not sure it still will because after all,
00:21:58these guys are gonna have to literally be forced by Shane McMahon to do that.
00:22:01Now, Val Venus in control of the Blue Blazer.
00:22:03We talked about Deborah's apparent eyes for Val Venus.
00:22:06But Deborah had some problems with the Godfather this past Monday night.
00:22:09Well, Godfather defeated Jeff Jarrett last Monday
00:22:12and basically won Deborah's services to be one of his ladies.
00:22:16But Owen and Jeff hustled out of the building before that could take place.
00:22:19Val Venus now in control.
00:22:20Blazer ripped into the corner.
00:22:21Val follows it up with another forearm.
00:22:23And Val Venus, great young athlete,
00:22:26whips the Blue Blazer into the corner and catches him with an elbow.
00:22:29You know, I gotta wonder, if Owen is the Blue Blazer,
00:22:31why doesn't Jeff wrestle as the tweed sport coat, Michael?
00:22:34Val Venus in control of the Blue Blazer here, folks, center of the ring.
00:22:37Also to come tonight, tag team titles on the line.
00:22:40X-Pac and Kane to take on the New Age Outlaws.
00:22:43And Val Venus now tremendous suplex on the Blue Blazer
00:22:47as Deborah looks on with concern.
00:22:51Beautiful vertical suplex and finally get Blue Blazer separated from that cape.
00:22:56And that separated him maybe from consciousness, but what?
00:22:59Wait a minute, Deborah on the apron.
00:23:01Deborah, separate yourself from the rest of your clothing.
00:23:06And Val Venus liking what he sees.
00:23:08Doesn't let it distract him long enough, though.
00:23:10Kick to the midsection.
00:23:12In Val's line of work, he's seen those before.
00:23:14But he's got the bridge.
00:23:16And Jeff Jarrett with a low blow behind the referee's back.
00:23:20Referee never saw it.
00:23:22The Blue Blazer now with the cover, and this one's over.
00:23:24Give the assist to Jeff Jarrett and Deborah.
00:23:27Here's your winner, the Blue Blazer.
00:23:30Well, Deborah's often noted for showing her charms to distract her men's opponents.
00:23:35But when it doesn't work, did not.
00:23:37Jeff Jarrett's always there to lend a helping head to Wood.
00:23:39Wait a minute.
00:23:40And here comes Nicole Bass, who still says Val Venus Ozer won
00:23:45for what happened on Sunday Night Heat this past Sunday night.
00:23:48Ozer won what?
00:23:49Well, Nicole watched some of that.
00:23:51And Val Venus is, he is fed up with running from this woman.
00:23:56But that's preferable to anything I can think of.
00:24:01Nicole Bass saying, you owe me.
00:24:03She's 6'4", 240 pounds.
00:24:05Hired as a bodyguard for the WWF Women's Champion, Sable.
00:24:09Look at the expression on Val's face.
00:24:11He's gonna head for the hills in a double hurry.
00:24:14She is totally smit with Val Venus.
00:24:17And Val making his way out of here in a fast way.
00:24:24Blue Blazer picks up the victory.
00:24:26An upset if you want to get into it over Val Venus.
00:24:30But the big story here, Nicole Bass and Val Venus,
00:24:33they may be headed to the altar whether Val likes it or not.
00:24:36What?
00:24:39Wait a minute.
00:24:42The Godfather is coming to collect.
00:24:46He's coming to claim his property.
00:24:48Well, we mentioned that that match stipulation was held.
00:24:52When Godfather defeated Jeff Jarrett,
00:24:54Deborah was supposed to work as one of Godfather's ladies.
00:24:57She hasn't done that yet.
00:24:59And the Godfather now into the ring,
00:25:01takes out the Blue Blazer,
00:25:03takes out Jeff Jarrett.
00:25:04And if Deborah's not careful here,
00:25:07she may be heading home with the Godfather.
00:25:09Well, you know, she didn't seem to be the one to have the problem with it the other night.
00:25:14And look at that face.
00:25:15Jeff Jarrett, no one hurt.
00:25:17They had the problem.
00:25:18The Godfather's saying,
00:25:20Deborah, come aboard the choo-choo.
00:25:22Uh-oh.
00:25:23A clip, a block right from the back of the knee of the Godfather.
00:25:27Spin kick.
00:25:28Michael, these guys have finally gotten the big Godfather down.
00:25:31Blue Blazer and Jeff Jarrett now double teaming the Godfather.
00:25:35Godfather in a two-on-one situation here.
00:25:37Blazer with an elbow to the back after that leg sweep by Jeff Jarrett.
00:25:41And now Jarrett and Owen Hart.
00:25:43Forget the Blue Blazer.
00:25:44Well, this is not a tag team match.
00:25:46This isn't even a match, much less a tag team match.
00:25:48It's two-on-one.
00:25:49The Godfather came to collect what's rightfully his.
00:25:51And these guys have abused him and used him.
00:25:54Well, the Godfather's not gonna get what's rightfully his.
00:25:57Deborah's going back with Owen Hart, the Blue Blazer, and Jeff Jarrett.
00:26:03If I know the Godfather as well as I do,
00:26:05there will be another day and there will be something else to say about this.
00:26:08He does not let things, uh-oh, The Rock.
00:26:11The Rattlesnake will just rub elbows all of a sudden.
00:26:15The old Rattlesnake to gain a little bit of electricity.
00:26:18I'll tell you what.
00:26:19See, The Rock is just gonna have to make a whole bunch of candy asses famous
00:26:23tonight again, nothing changes.
00:26:25Later on tonight, Rock teams with Stone Cold.
00:26:28Well, Blue Blazer, it's been a while since we've seen you here in the WWF.
00:26:33To what do we owe the honor?
00:26:35Well, Kevin, it's quite simple.
00:26:37The Blue Blazer is back in the WWF
00:26:39because the WWF needs the Blue Blazer back.
00:26:42Needed for what, Owen?
00:26:44Owen?
00:26:45I'm not Owen.
00:26:46Where is Owen?
00:26:47I'm looking for Owen Hart, too.
00:26:48Where is he?
00:26:49Anyway, the conditions here in the WWF have become deplorable.
00:26:53There's, there's too much cleavage and that, that, that Val,
00:27:02I can't even say his last name, but you know what it rhymes with.
00:27:04I can't even say it, but he's deplorable.
00:27:07Everything is deplorable here in the WWF.
00:27:09But why you?
00:27:10Why me?
00:27:12Because the WWF needs a superhero like the Blue Blazer.
00:27:16One that can protect good from evil.
00:27:19And one last thing in closing to all my little Blue Blazers.
00:27:23Take your vitamins, say your prayers, and drink your milk.
00:27:28Whoo!
00:27:30Well, there it is, The Big Show!
00:27:37What an ovation!
00:27:39Following countries to schedule for one fall.
00:27:42Picking against 23, weighing in at 500 pounds, The Big Show!
00:27:49He is seven feet tall, 500 pounds, the most coveted free agent in the history of sports entertainment.
00:27:55He's just 27 years old, and The Big Show has already made a tremendous mark in the WWF.
00:28:03Michael, it's been well documented.
00:28:04He's the world's largest professional athlete.
00:28:07But how many human beings at all do you know bigger than this man?
00:28:11He wears a size 20 rig.
00:28:14You can pass a silver dollar through the rig he wears on his ring finger.
00:28:19And The Big Show this past Sunday night at Backlash involved in a boiler room brawl with Mankind.
00:28:26And what a matchup!
00:28:32And his opponent, he weighs it at 282 pounds, Tess!
00:28:39And here comes Tess, a victim of Shane McMahon's corporate takeover.
00:28:43No longer a member of the corporation.
00:28:45He was tossed out after an altercation on Raw on USA this past Monday with The Big Boss Man.
00:28:52Well, yeah, that's right.
00:28:53Tess was downsized.
00:28:54He was tired of being the corporation's whipping boy.
00:28:56And when Boss Man blamed him for a mistake that Boss Man made,
00:29:00Tess, being the man that he is, stood up to the Boss Man face-to-face, said enough.
00:29:04And then it happened, he struck back, and The Boss Man took it from there.
00:29:09Hey, Jim, it had been brewing for weeks.
00:29:11Shane McMahon said he was going to streamline.
00:29:13He was going to, in his words, weed out who he felt didn't belong.
00:29:18And obviously, Tess wasn't part of us, Shane McMahon's plans.
00:29:21Well, I don't know whether it might not have been Tess's own idea to say,
00:29:24I've had enough of this, but leaving the corporation is kind of like leaving the mob.
00:29:28You encounter some resistance on the way out.
00:29:30A big test for a tremendous young athlete in Tess, and here comes The Big Boss Man.
00:29:35Out to ringside as Tess now hammers away on the 500-pound Big Show.
00:29:39Folks, we've just received information that Vince and Stephanie McMahon
00:29:43have apparently left the building in disgust.
00:29:46Oh, my!
00:29:47Good Lord!
00:29:48A dropkick from the seven-footer!
00:29:50Did you see him get up in the air?
00:29:51Can you believe that?
00:29:52The agility of a man seven feet tall, over 500 pounds in 20 years in this sport,
00:29:57I have never seen a man like that dropkick.
00:30:00Look at this now, Tess up high, going for the ride, touch slam.
00:30:05Here's the cover now.
00:30:06And the showstopper puts Tess down for the count.
00:30:09What a victory for The Big Show.
00:30:11But wait a minute.
00:30:12The Big Show.
00:30:13The Big Boss Man, there has been problems here as well.
00:30:18Boss Man, no love for Tess, but is he trying to back The Big Show down?
00:30:25The Big Show, seven-foot-500.
00:30:27A Boss Man's no small individual.
00:30:29He's six-foot-six, 330 pounds.
00:30:31It makes you basically wonder what's in the water with all these guys in the ring.
00:30:36Well, well, that's the big show.
00:30:39And now The Boss Man, a vulture, gonna go after the pickings.
00:30:42You see him wielding that knife stick.
00:30:44The former corrections officer to the head of Tess.
00:30:49Well, that's what you call serving hard time, Michael.
00:30:52That's what The Big Boss Man calls it.
00:30:54He was a prison guard at the Cobb County Correctional List of Georgia.
00:30:57And wait a minute.
00:30:58Big Show's back.
00:30:59The Big Show's back.
00:31:00And The Big Boss Man flies out of the ring.
00:31:02Watch it.
00:31:03They're coming over this way.
00:31:04Big Show.
00:31:06Big Show.
00:31:07Obviously, The Boss Man still hasn't settled his issue with Tess.
00:31:11And The Big Show coming to run The Big Boss Man off.
00:31:14Something similar to the action we saw to Steve Austin.
00:31:16He didn't do it because he loved the man.
00:31:18He just did it because it was the right thing to do.
00:31:20I gotta play for it.
00:31:21Come on, Boss Man.
00:31:23Take a look at this replay.
00:31:24This dropkick, Jim Cornette.
00:31:25I have never seen anything like this in my life from a man that huge to go that high in the air.
00:31:31The impact had to be crushing.
00:31:33And then the one-armed chokeslam on a 282-pound man.
00:31:37That spelled the end.
00:31:39The Showstopper for The Big Show.
00:31:41And what a tremendous victory.
00:31:42And, folks, we got perhaps one of the greatest tag team matches in the history of the WWF coming up tonight.
00:31:47You smell what the love is.
00:31:49Well, this is one thing we do not have on our formats.
00:31:56Later tonight, that man, The Rock, will team with Stone Cold Steve Austin to take on Triple H and The Undertaker.
00:32:10The Rock, a former WWF champion, a three-time champion.
00:32:15And, Jim, at 26 years old, the future of sports entertainment.
00:32:19Well, he is the most electrified man that I can think of in this industry.
00:32:24He is also the most charismatic at this point.
00:32:27He has a large following and an equally large number of enemies.
00:32:31The Rock joined the corporation for fame, for power, for money,
00:32:38when Shane McMahon excommunicated The Rock this past Monday night.
00:32:42And asked for the big matchup tonight, when The Rock will team with Stone Cold.
00:32:46Don't expect cohesion.
00:32:48Don't expect a tremendous team tonight.
00:32:50Well, you know, I always knew this guy could do it on his own.
00:32:52He's got the ability. He's got the tools.
00:32:54He took the corporate shortcut.
00:32:56But he has seen that the corporation got more out of him than he got out of them.
00:33:00Shane McMahon, Triple H, last Monday on Raw, you two jabronis decided to check both your candy asses in to the SmackDown Hotel.
00:33:22So you go on and let the great one be the first one to break the bad news to you two, Rudy Poo.
00:33:38Candy asses that you damn sure checked in, you two will damn sure check out, but you don't check out without a little departing gift from The Rock, which is his fist in your mouth and his foot in your ass.
00:33:56Well, that's different than a mint on your pillow.
00:34:16Now, as far as for you, Stone Cold Steve Austin, you and The Rock tonight, tag team, make no mistake about it.
00:34:25You damn right will fight the fight.
00:34:27But we ain't partners, we ain't buddies, and we damn sure ain't friends.
00:34:33So if you so much tonight get in The Rock's way, this Brahma Bull will dip his head, take his horns, and stick them straight up your ass.
00:34:41He's the WWF champion, the Texas Rattlesnake, he has no friends, he lives by the motto, don't trust anybody.
00:35:02But tonight, he's gonna be partnered with the man he defeated at WrestleMania in Backlash, The Rock and Ken, they get along.
00:35:11Well, I think that he just gave The Rock a little gesture as an answer.
00:35:16Michael, I don't see how these two can even share the same ring together, much less be in the same corner.
00:35:22The electricity in this place is off the page.
00:35:27Anyone who has witnessed the wars that these two men have fought at WrestleMania, at Backlash, the only thing that they have in common, they are both tremendous athletes and fierce competitors, and they are bitter rivals at that.
00:35:52Let me come out here and get this straight right off the bat.
00:35:59Last week and tonight, you come out here talking all your trash about Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:36:05I'll tell you this, you will always be in my eyes some punk kid running around out here spitting out nursery rhymes.
00:36:14Saying what you gonna do, turn your little horns sideways because you're the Brahma bull.
00:36:24Eh eh! Stone Cold Steve Austin will knock him stupid horns right off your head, wipe your ass, put you on a barbecue grill, and that's all I got to say about that.
00:36:35We got company.
00:36:42No chance, that's what you got.
00:36:45It's Shane McMahon.
00:36:47Shane made this matchup only tonight, Brock Austin, against Triple H and The Undertaker.
00:36:57Isn't that cute?
00:36:58Look at the two of you.
00:37:00You can't get along.
00:37:02You wanna tear each other's heads off.
00:37:04You make each other sick to their stomachs.
00:37:07And you know what?
00:37:08That is absolutely perfect.
00:37:10Do you know why?
00:37:12Because my plan is getting bigger and better as we speak.
00:37:18Wait a minute.
00:37:23That's The Undertaker's music again.
00:37:33Somebody's gonna be in trouble.
00:37:35I just don't know who.
00:37:36There he is, the beat of The Undertaker.
00:37:40Jim, he's standing side by side with Shane McMahon.
00:37:45Shane McMahon is standing side by side with The Undertaker, the man that abducted his sister.
00:37:50Are you beginning to understand?
00:37:52Are you beginning to feel the power?
00:37:54Well, let me help spell it out for you just a little bit more.
00:38:00The Undertaker and Shane McMahon standing side by side.
00:38:04Wait a minute.
00:38:05There's Triple H, Paul Bearer.
00:38:08It's the corporation and the Ministry of Darkness.
00:38:12My God, Michael, have they joined forces?
00:38:16What the hell is going on?
00:38:20What does this mean?
00:38:21What has Shane engineered here?
00:38:23What has Shane manipulated inside?
00:38:26It's a merger from hell.
00:38:27The Corporation and Ministry standing together as one on stage.
00:38:33Austin, Rock, let me be the first to introduce you to The Corporate Ministry.
00:38:41Oh, my God.
00:38:42And you guys better get it together and change your strategy.
00:38:47The Undertaker and Shane have joined together.
00:38:53With the corporation and the Ministry together, what power on Earth, human or other, can stop them?
00:38:59The odds are stacked against the Rockets don't call tonight.
00:39:02X-Pac, Kane, tonight you defend the tag team titles against the New Age Outlaws.
00:39:08But let's go back first to last Monday night, X-Pac, because you two definitely had some problems.
00:39:13Immediately following Kane's being victimized by the bloodbath from The Brood,
00:39:17as we take a look at some footage from last Monday, you'll see once again,
00:39:21Kane, instead of turning his anger and attention towards The Brood, turned it towards you.
00:39:26Grabbing you by the throat and surprising everybody by chokeslamming you over a wall.
00:39:31Then X-Pac, you look to settle things throughout the night,
00:39:33finally calling out Kane towards the end of the evening, wanting answers about where you stood.
00:39:38For that question, you received once again a chokeslam from your tag team partner.
00:39:43So in light of the, well, the obvious differences that you two are having,
00:39:47plus the fact that you're taking on fellow DXers, the New Age Outlaws,
00:39:50is your loyalty torn tonight in this tag team match?
00:39:53So what do you ask me, Kevin?
00:39:55If it's going to be unpredictable out there tonight?
00:39:57Well, that's how he seems to like things.
00:40:00You want things unpredictable? That's what you're going to get.
00:40:03X-Pac and Kane to defend the tag team titles later on tonight on SmackDown.
00:40:12But Jim, what a shocker. Shane McMahon and The Undertaker just moments ago unveiling the corporate ministry.
00:40:18The merger from hell and I don't know what power on earth can prevent these guys from taking over the WWF.
00:40:25The following contest is scheduled for one call, making his way to the ring, accompanied by Prince Albert,
00:40:30from Mays Landing, New Jersey, weighing in at 275 pounds, Draws!
00:40:38And there you see Draws in the hat, the former NFL player, rude, crude, tattooed and full of attitude.
00:40:43But what about Prince Albert? There you see him talking to the referee.
00:40:47Draws is a personal tattoo artist and pierced it.
00:40:50Well, we first saw him a few weeks ago and he's made some noise.
00:40:54To the ring by Ivory from Chicago, Illinois, playing in at 265 pounds, D'Lo Brown!
00:41:03I don't know whether Ivory's going to be enough backup for D'Lo Brown to cataract Prince Albert.
00:41:07We first saw Prince Albert a couple of weeks ago when he came to avenge the fact that Draws' nose ring
00:41:12had been ripped out by the big boss man.
00:41:14That was Prince Albert's handiwork he had messed with and he didn't appreciate it.
00:41:18So it's D'Lo Brown versus Draws and folks immediately following this matchup.
00:41:23WWF Women's Champion Sable goes Hollywood.
00:41:26And Jim, she's been a very busy lady as of late.
00:41:29Well, she's been on the cover of Playboy, Field and Stream, she's been everywhere.
00:41:34I mean, my God, and it's gone to her head too.
00:41:36We're gonna take a look at Sable and Hollywood coming up following this matchup.
00:41:39And here's Roz now whipping D'Lo into the corner, a nice shoulder takedown by D'Lo Brown.
00:41:44D'Lo Brown, a former European Champion.
00:41:46He doesn't get the respect that he deserves for the WWF or the fans, in my opinion,
00:41:50for the all-around talent that he has.
00:41:52He has got it all.
00:41:53You're watching WWF SmackDown on UPN.
00:41:56And folks, we are shocked how cold, how callous, how calculated is Shane McMahon?
00:42:02Jim, was Shane and The Undertaker involved in this plot all along?
00:42:06I don't know.
00:42:07How long have they been in cahoots?
00:42:08Is this something that just happened a day?
00:42:10Did it happen before The Undertaker abducted Stephanie?
00:42:13Or are they in cahoots?
00:42:15Or is one playing the other one for a fool?
00:42:17So many questions, so few answers.
00:42:19Wow!
00:42:20This is a slam by Draws, the 285-pounder.
00:42:24I've got to know, how are Stephanie and Vince McMahon going to react to this?
00:42:27We told you earlier on, they apparently left the building in disgust a few moments ago.
00:42:32Well, you know, when you've got a father talked to that way by his son, he had to be embarrassed.
00:42:37Oh!
00:42:38Set out powerbomb by D'Lo Brown with authority on Draws.
00:42:42D'Lo Brown now in control.
00:42:45You know, the Shane and Undertaker, have they been in cahoots?
00:42:47And if so, did Shane McMahon know anything about the abduction of Stephanie, his own sister?
00:42:51I don't know.
00:42:52All I know is that if Vince did leave and take Stephanie home, that's probably where she's safest.
00:42:57But when he hears about what has gone on, Vince McMahon will blow every gasket in his brain.
00:43:03What a clothesline by Draws.
00:43:05Folks, still to come tonight, perhaps one of the greatest tag team matches in the history of the WWF.
00:43:10Rock and Austin, can they get along against Triple H and The Undertaker?
00:43:15Great athletic ability by Draws, but D'Lo caught him with a kick to the face.
00:43:19I'll tell you, D'Lo's no slouch either.
00:43:20You talk about tag team championships.
00:43:22D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry, a tremendous tag team, had hoped to be the tag team champions.
00:43:27But that's been, those hopes have been on hold since Mark Henry's been sidelined with double knee surgery for the past few months.
00:43:34Draws now, finger to the eye, now a right hand to the face of D'Lo Brown.
00:43:38Draws former NFL football player.
00:43:41And look at D'Lo now, sky high. Caught him. Draws is in trouble.
00:43:45Another one of those innovative maneuvers that a man the size of D'Lo Brown, you would not expect him to be able to execute.
00:43:51D'Lo Brown, near 300 pounder, was going for the lowdown.
00:43:54And Prince Albert, with the referee's back turn, tossed D'Lo off the top rope.
00:43:58That frog splash that D'Lo Brown calls the lowdown generally spells the end for any victim that it lands on.
00:44:04But in this case, Prince Albert stalled that off.
00:44:07You see the spark plug ivory cheering D'Lo Brown on outside the ring.
00:44:11Draws now in control. Look at Prince Albert on the apron now.
00:44:14Reversal, draws into Prince Albert, knocks him down.
00:44:17Inadvert malfunction at the junction. D'Lo Brown still weebling and wobbling from being pushed off that top rope.
00:44:23But he flies. Wow! D'Lo took out both men over the top rope.
00:44:29Tremendous athlete. There's D'Lo Brown near 300 pounder.
00:44:32And when you're that size and you take that kind of risk from that height, it can be an all or nothing proposition.
00:44:38In this case, he got it all. D'Lo Brown, certified public accountant of CPA.
00:44:42Been in this business just about four years now. Has made tremendous strides.
00:44:46Gonna climb the top rope. And again, Prince Albert in the ring.
00:44:49Right hand to the gut of D'Lo Brown. D'Lo gonna fly. There's the belt for this.
00:44:52My God.
00:44:53For this qualification.
00:44:54He's pressed him.
00:44:55Wow!
00:44:56He pressed him and slammed D'Lo Brown and-
00:44:59Shut your fuck up, baby!
00:45:01What? Prince Albert, we have got another handicap match situation with Prince Albert,
00:45:06the personal tattooist and piercest or whatever of draws.
00:45:09Well, Ivory just took off up the ramp.
00:45:11What in the world?
00:45:12Well, you know what? They look like those piercing tools.
00:45:16Prince Albert is getting in a briefcase and he has got, my God, that needle's gotta be a foot long.
00:45:23We told you Prince Albert, the personal piercest and tattooist.
00:45:27He's got his turn.
00:45:29He's got his tongue.
00:45:30Wait a minute.
00:45:31Wait a minute, Jim.
00:45:32Here comes sexual chocolate.
00:45:33D'Lo Brown, tag team partner Mark Henry, and a right hand to Prince Albert.
00:45:39Mark Henry, the world's strongest man.
00:45:41He competed for the United States in the Olympics in weightlifting.
00:45:44He is D'Lo Brown's partner, and as you can see, he's back in action.
00:45:48Mark Henry is back, helping out his partner D'Lo Brown.
00:45:52And I think Prince Albert was just about to put a piercing in the tongue of D'Lo.
00:45:57Well, I'll tell you instead, Ivory ran for the hills to get Mark Henry.
00:46:01He played the seventh cavalry, and the family is reunited again.
00:46:05Sexual chocolate saves the day for D'Lo Brown and his tag team,
00:46:11obviously back together again.
00:46:13New Age Outlaws, your tag team title match is next.
00:46:24But do you feel awkward at all taking on your good friend X-Pac?
00:46:28Well, Double K, as you know, and everybody else knows,
00:46:32that from our nose to our toes, we got champs written all over us.
00:46:36But by cracky, it may get a little wacky,
00:46:39because X-Pac is a close and personal friend of mine.
00:46:42Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:44Friends?
00:46:46Friends?
00:46:47There's no friends when it comes to these titles, man.
00:46:50Get your head on.
00:46:51Would you?
00:46:52Billy.
00:46:54Thanks a lot!
00:46:56It's back!
00:46:57You think you can tell us what to do?
00:46:59Yeah.
00:47:00You think you can tell us what to win?
00:47:02Yeah.
00:47:03You think you can better?
00:47:04Yeah.
00:47:05Well, you better get ready to bow to the master.
00:47:08Tremendous ovation for a tremendous athlete.
00:47:15He's won after the tag team champions.
00:47:18Here comes X-Pac.
00:47:20I'll tell you something, Michael, this kid's courage is his strongest asset.
00:47:27He doesn't know he's the smallest dog in the fight.
00:47:29You can't convince him otherwise.
00:47:30But tonight, X-Pac is gonna take on long-time friends.
00:47:33Bad-ass Billy Gunnar, the list of the New Age Outlaws.
00:47:37All of the members of the Generation X, and the wild card in this one is Kane.
00:47:43And speaking of which, buckle up.
00:47:55Part of this one is Kane, and speaking of which, buckle up.
00:48:01And here comes X-Box partner.
00:48:16He weighs in at 30, 126 pounds, Kane.
00:48:25Michael, I'll tell you, X-Box and Kane, an unlikely team.
00:48:28X-Box has been the only person in the WWF to truly befriend Kane.
00:48:32But the big red machine works on instinct.
00:48:34He doesn't know how to trust anybody, and sometimes he will lash out, even at his own partner.
00:48:39And Kane has trusted very few people in his life, and the people who he hasn't trusted
00:48:45have turned their backs on him.
00:48:46They've stabbed him in the back.
00:48:48And we've seen in recent weeks that Kane still cannot apparently bring himself to trust that man.
00:48:54His tag team partner, X-Box.
00:48:56Well, Kane, a tragic figure, the younger brother of The Undertaker.
00:48:59He was horribly scarred in a fire when he was a child.
00:49:02He was raised without guidance.
00:49:03Doesn't really know right from wrong.
00:49:05And out to go!
00:49:07And he is a dangerous, dangerous individual.
00:49:14Perhaps the most destructive force in the World Wrestling Federation.
00:49:18You didn't know?
00:49:19You didn't know?
00:49:20You are going to call somebody!
00:49:31They've been tag team champions on a number of occasions.
00:49:35They're fun, they're colorful, they're great athletes.
00:49:39Take a look at what's going on here.
00:49:41Billy's all business.
00:49:43It's at the O-Double-G.
00:49:46He took on the left Road Dogg.
00:49:49The Road Dogg and badass Billy Gunn could take on their friend and DX member, X-Box,
00:50:03along with Kane for the tag team titles.
00:50:06Welcome to my dog house.
00:50:13Where the outlaws always kick it doggy style.
00:50:19Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages.
00:50:22The Generation X proudly brings to you, it's soon to be, WWF Tag Team Champions of the World!
00:50:34The Road Dogg, Jesse James!
00:50:36The Badass Billy Gunn!
00:50:38The New Age Outlaw!
00:50:41Well, usually Billy Gunn will follow this up with some words of his own.
00:50:49But he just told Road Dogg none of that.
00:50:51And as we saw in the interview, Jim, Billy Gunn all business tonight.
00:50:55He said it's about winning those Tag Team Championship belts right there.
00:50:59Well, the outlaws have been there.
00:51:00They've been to the top of the mountain.
00:51:01They've held the goal to several different occasions.
00:51:04And they're so anxious to regain that that they're willing to face a friend to do it.
00:51:08And I think Mr. Ass a little more willing than Road Dogg to face a friend.
00:51:13The New Age Outlaws won this tag title shot by defeating Jeff Jarrett Noe and
00:51:16Hart at Backlash this past Sunday night.
00:51:18And now with X-Box going to work with a side headlock on the Road Dogg.
00:51:22This should be a fast, exciting matchup.
00:51:25Well, no one knows X-Pac and his style better than do the New Age Outlaws.
00:51:30And they know there's no quitting the kid, but also they know his weak points as well,
00:51:34including the fact he's had neck surgery, Michael.
00:51:36And he is susceptible to neck injury.
00:51:38Oh, what a spinning heel kick by X-Pac.
00:51:40Caught Road Dogg under the chin.
00:51:41This is the first in what will be two tremendous tag team matches.
00:51:45A bit later on tonight, Shane McMahon set it up.
00:51:48The Rock will team with Stone Cold Steve Austin against The Undertaker and Triple H.
00:51:53And we just saw the unveiling of the corporate ministry.
00:51:57And I am just afraid to think what's gonna happen next with the corporation and
00:52:01the ministry having joined forces.
00:52:03That could be an unstoppable combination.
00:52:06A little too much hot dogging, but X-Pac missed with a kick.
00:52:09And Road Dogg caught him in the right hand.
00:52:11These two great friends from D-Generation X battling out now for the WWF Tag Team Titles.
00:52:17A little bit of show of solidarity there.
00:52:20Well, a little mutual respect, I think, more than solidarity, Michael.
00:52:23That's the DX salute as Billy Gunn now comes into the ring.
00:52:27And he shoves X-Pac into the corner.
00:52:29Wait a minute, look, Kane just snatched X-Pac by the hair.
00:52:32And forced the tag.
00:52:34Kane, this guy barely shows a trace of human emotion.
00:52:39There's gotta be some way to reach him, but his soul is buried so deep down.
00:52:44Well, can you blame him?
00:52:45Everything he's been through in his life.
00:52:46Billy Gunn now backs the near seven-footer into the corner,
00:52:49hammers away with right hands.
00:52:50And pound for pound, Billy Gunn may indeed be the best killer athlete in the WWF,
00:52:55but Kane is manhandling him as he tosses him into the corner.
00:52:58Well, unfortunately, pound for pound, Kane's doing most of the pounding right now.
00:53:01Kane went after the tag team champions, rips Billy Gunn into the corner,
00:53:06and just knocks him down with a clothesline.
00:53:08My, what a leg drop.
00:53:13I'll venture to say, Jim, as Kane now goes for the cover, first one of the matchup,
00:53:17and Billy Gunn gets the shoulder up.
00:53:19And Kane and X-Pac may be the most unique and one of the most explosive tag teams
00:53:23in the history of the WWF.
00:53:25And we expect X-Pac to be explosive, but Kane is so explosive,
00:53:28the elevation you just saw on the leg drop, a tremendous athletic maneuver,
00:53:32and now he just sends Mr. S upside down and flat on his face.
00:53:36Kane will do things that a man nearly seven feet and well over 300 pounds
00:53:41should not be able to do by the law of physics.
00:53:43Well, Billy Gunn goes six-foot-five, 270, and Kane's having his way right now.
00:53:46Billy Gunn whipped across the ring into that steel turnbuckle.
00:53:51Kane has been so destructive, single-handedly, the heart of the team is X-Pac.
00:53:57The soul of the team is X-Pac, but Kane, he's basically, as JR puts it, the cleanup hitter.
00:54:03Billy Gunn now rake of the arm.
00:54:06Now goes to work on that right arm of Kane, and Kane follows it up with a clothesline.
00:54:11And Kane from the left side where Billy Gunn wasn't expecting it to come from, and now X-Pac asking for the tag.
00:54:18These two have not had a cohesive unit as far as tag team continuity is concerned in any of their items.
00:54:24Yeah, we've seen in recent weeks, X-Pac will show up for a tag team match.
00:54:27Kane may not show up till halfway through it.
00:54:29X-Pac never seems to know where Kane is.
00:54:32But as strange as it may seem as unorthodox, it has worked for them.
00:54:36They have retained the WWF Tag Team Championship.
00:54:39Night Frog by X-Pac, Billy Gunn catches him with a drop kick.
00:54:42What a maneuver by Badass Billy Gunn, and now hammering away on X-Pac.
00:54:47Billy Gunn with that closed fist there.
00:54:50Remember, X-Pac a friend of the Outlaws.
00:54:53You know, with friends like this, I don't believe I'd meet enemies,
00:54:56because Mr. Ass may have had the advantage there, but he was drilling a closed fist into his friend's face.
00:55:02Here's a cover now by Road Dogg, and X-Pac kicks out.
00:55:07Nobody has ever accused DX of playing it safe, or playing it nice, or playing by the rules.
00:55:13But still, you would think there would be a little more solidarity between guys that have been so close,
00:55:17especially after Triple H is a guy who betrayed him.
00:55:20Still to come tonight on WWF SmackDown, that huge tag team match.
00:55:24Triple H and The Undertaker from the corporate ministry are gonna take on The Rock and Stone Cold.
00:55:30How in the world are they gonna get along?
00:55:32Billy Gunn and X-Pac in trouble.
00:55:36I am still shocked and amazed that Shane McMahon would slap Steve Austin and The Rock in the face like he has
00:55:42by forcing them, bitter rivals, to be part-
00:55:45I'm not surprised at all the way Shane's been acting as of late.
00:55:48A serious power trip.
00:55:50And Jim, I gotta believe, if The Undertaker and Shane were involved in this, were in cahoots at all.
00:55:56I mean, Shane McMahon, what was he thinking about?
00:55:59His sister.
00:56:00He got it.
00:56:01He got the tag.
00:56:02And here comes Kane now into the ring.
00:56:04Momentum shifting here.
00:56:05Right hand from Kane after the tag by X-Pac.
00:56:08Tag Team Championship on the line.
00:56:10Billy got off the rope and caught a foot to the face.
00:56:13Here's Road Dogg now.
00:56:14And Kane now in control.
00:56:16The Big Red Machine, the demon.
00:56:18He is unstoppable when he gets on a roll.
00:56:20But the Road Dogg gonna give it to Shane Grant through.
00:56:23The Southpaw going on a rope.
00:56:25Follows it up with a right hand to Kane.
00:56:27And now the Double T by The Outlaws.
00:56:29Double drop kick the McMams down.
00:56:31They knocked the tree down.
00:56:32They took him off his feet, but can they keep him there?
00:56:35Shane Grant on the roll.
00:56:37And The Outlaws now gaining momentum.
00:56:40But Kane is set up.
00:56:41Kane is up.
00:56:42The Road Dogg doesn't realize.
00:56:44And the Road Dogg may be going for a ride.
00:56:47He's heading to the doghouse.
00:56:49One thing about when Kane takes you for a ride.
00:56:51No, he's got X-Pac too.
00:56:52He's got them both.
00:56:53His partner and his opponent.
00:56:55Kane is confused once again.
00:56:57And Billy Gunn now kicked in the midsection.
00:57:00Double T now by The Outlaws.
00:57:03Kane whipped off the rope.
00:57:05And double clothesline.
00:57:07Kane for a moment there, anyone who comes at him,
00:57:10he just reacts out of instinct.
00:57:12He doesn't think.
00:57:13He just does.
00:57:14X-Pac now went for the Bronco Buster on Road Dogg.
00:57:17And Road Dogg rolled out of the way.
00:57:19Headbutt by Kane.
00:57:20Kane still in control of Mr. Ass, but meanwhile there's a pileup over the corner and Road Dogg and X-Pac both down.
00:57:27That was the quickness of Billy Gunn and Road Dogg goes down low now with a low blow.
00:57:31And there's the Famouser.
00:57:32This one could be over.
00:57:33The Famouser by Billy Gunn.
00:57:35We could have new Tag Team Champions to cover it out.
00:57:38And X-Pac makes the save.
00:57:40X-Pac in the nick of time got there and Billy Gunn now turns around and turns his attention to X-Pac.
00:57:45And Road Dogg almost as if he's telling Mr. Ass to lighten up.
00:57:50Badass Billy Gunn tossing X-Pac into the corner.
00:57:54Look at this now.
00:57:55X-Pac hooks the leg.
00:57:57This one's over.
00:57:58X-Pac and Kane retain the WWF Tag Team title.
00:58:02And still will retain Tag Team Champions, X-Pac and Kane.
00:58:09My God, Michael, did you see how it happened?
00:58:11Billy Gunn had X-Pac pressed over his head.
00:58:13Road Dogg was knocked into Billy's leg.
00:58:16The whole pound came tumbling down and X-Pac ended up on top for the victory.
00:58:21Give Kane the assist.
00:58:22The fact of the matter once again that this unique team of X-Pac and Kane managed to function together yet again to retain the Tag Team title.
00:58:31And by hook or by crook, these two men have stayed together and they have stayed champions.
00:58:38Till the come tonight, you see Stone Cold getting ready.
00:58:41The Rattlesnake forced a team with arch nemesis The Rock.
00:58:44They'll take on The Undertaker in Triple H.
00:58:47It happens on WWF SmackDown tonight.
00:58:50We're back with WWF SmackDown on UPM.
00:58:55And folks, just a few moments ago, X-Pac and Kane retain the WWF Tag Team title.
00:58:59Well, Lady Luck was on the side of the defending champions.
00:59:03As you see, Mr. Ass press X-Pac.
00:59:05What's Road Dogg?
00:59:06Knocked into Mr. Ass's leg.
00:59:08X-Pac comes down on top of the pile and gets the three count.
00:59:12X-Pac and Kane still your WWF Tag Team champions.
00:59:17And this is now live.
00:59:18No, I don't.
00:59:21No, I don't.
00:59:22Billy, there'll be other matches.
00:59:23No, there won't.
00:59:24I can guarantee you.
00:59:25There is not gonna be another one with you, I can assure you that.
00:59:28Yeah, this match is done yet either.
00:59:30I guess we won't have another chance, Adam.
00:59:33Friends, Road Dogg.
00:59:35Ladies and gentlemen, The Brood.
00:59:38They're a tremendous trio.
00:59:57Gangrel in the middle, Edge on his right, Christian on his left.
01:00:01The Brood wants members of The Undertaker's Ministry, but they rebelled.
01:00:06And, Jim, I understand that The Brood may finally break their silence right here tonight on SmackDown.
01:00:13That's right.
01:00:14We have seen The Brood in the WWF quite some time now, but they have never really spoken,
01:00:18never told us anything about themselves.
01:00:20They have gained a cult following.
01:00:22And I'll say this, their gothic lifestyle attracts most of the attention,
01:00:26but I firmly believe that these men are the three brightest young talents in this sport.
01:00:36You see Gangrel carrying that glass of red liquid.
01:00:43And that's usually the pre-match ritual that The Brood conducts.
01:00:48Well, it's a psychological ritual that he drinks that red liquid from that talus
01:00:53and sprays it out over the ground.
01:00:55Knock Hendricks to do the interview.
01:00:57Gangrel, the fans have waited for what seems like an eternity for The Brood
01:01:01to finally break their silence.
01:01:03Center stage is yours.
01:01:05The Brood initially has not spoken by our own choice.
01:01:09And then later, it was forbidden by The Undertaker.
01:01:14Well, when The Brood entered this world, we craved the guidance.
01:01:18That guiding light to show us the way.
01:01:21And that was The Undertaker.
01:01:23Well, unfortunately, The Undertaker's thoughts and feelings were not the same as ours.
01:01:29But in the darkness, we seek a much different light.
01:01:35We live our collective lifestyles for who we are and what we believe in.
01:01:40And the search of the mystery of life and the hereafter.
01:01:46And the power is what we seek.
01:01:50And it's within all of us.
01:01:52And we just have to unleash it.
01:01:54Well, with all due respect, some say, some say they don't understand your lifestyle.
01:02:02And others, others quite frankly, think The Brood are basically off the charts.
01:02:07They will understand.
01:02:20Understanding is just a matter of time.
01:02:22The power lies within us.
01:02:25And it's up to us to find it.
01:02:28We are who we are.
01:02:31The unholy trio.
01:02:34And we will become what we will become.
01:02:40For those who believe, we'll follow.
01:02:44For those that don't, we'll merely exist.
01:02:48So, Doc, I suggest that you beware.
01:02:53Take care.
01:02:55Because the freaks come out at night.
01:03:01Look, look, look.
01:03:03I don't know what y'all are smoking.
01:03:07But if you ask me, seriously, it's nothing but a gimmick.
01:03:12You're just trying to get attention on yourselves.
01:03:14A gimmick, Doc?
01:03:17Is that what you see?
01:03:20Well, we don't care what you think.
01:03:22We know who we are and what we're capable of.
01:03:26You seem to be the one that's confused.
01:03:30Isn't that right, Michael?
01:03:33Oh, Doc Hendrickson.
01:03:35Wait a minute.
01:03:36Doc Hendrickson one time known as Michael P.S. Hayes,
01:03:39a member of the legendary Fabulous Freebirds team in the 80s.
01:03:42And they have just, he has just been attacked evidently by The Brood.
01:03:46The Brood just attacked Doc Hendricks.
01:03:49And you can't see anything that's going on.
01:03:51All I know, they called him by his real name and then suddenly the Blanche went out and...
01:03:56Oh my God!
01:03:59Doc Hendricks, the victim of another Brood bloodbath.
01:04:04That's that psychological tactic that The Brood uses against their opponents.
01:04:08They surprise him and then give him a bloodbath.
01:04:12The bloodbath is nothing but intimidation from The Brood and Doc Hendricks has now suffered it.
01:04:18Where you at?
01:04:19Come on, you chicken!
01:04:20Come on, X-Pac!
01:04:21Where you at?
01:04:22Ken Shamrock, tonight you meet Bradshaw of The Acolytes in a no-holds-barred street fight.
01:04:27It certainly has been a long week for you, courtesy of The Acolytes.
01:04:31It was last Monday on Raw where you came down to the ring preparing to meet Bradshaw,
01:04:35wielding the same bat that Bradshaw victimized you just the night before at Backlash.
01:04:40When it turned into another opportunity for premeditated assault by The Acolytes, the damage was done.
01:04:46The scars may not have healed, but tonight you step into battle nonetheless with Bradshaw, no-holds-barred street fight.
01:04:52That's right, Bradshaw's been a pain in my backside.
01:04:56You cost me that match against Undertaker Bradshaw and tonight you will pay for that.
01:05:02Street fight rules.
01:05:03See, I was born on the street.
01:05:05I was raised to fight.
01:05:07I fought for space.
01:05:09Well Bradshaw, I want you to understand one thing.
01:05:12I'm gonna break your arms.
01:05:14I'm gonna break your legs.
01:05:16And I'm gonna break your spirit.
01:05:18And then when I'm through with all that, then I'm gonna beat the crap out of you some more.
01:05:23So are you willing to lay it on the line?
01:05:25I am.
01:05:26I'll see you in the ring, punk.
01:05:37Making its way to the ring, the following street fight is scheduled for one fall.
01:05:43Taking its way to the ring, he weighs it at 302 pounds.
01:05:48Brentshaw!
01:05:49And look out, Jim, he's got that baseball bat, and here comes Shamrock!
01:05:53Right behind, and this thing started.
01:05:55No-holds-barred street fight.
01:05:57That's right, let's get right down to it.
01:05:59You're not gonna see any of Shamrock's beautiful technique for submission wrestling.
01:06:03It's gonna be on Raw in motion, and it's gonna be a brawl because anything goes, anything's legal.
01:06:08May the best man win.
01:06:09Shamrock into those steel stairs.
01:06:12It's Bradshaw from the Acolytes, part of the Ministry of Darkness against the world's most dangerous man,
01:06:18Ken Shamrock, the ultimate fighting champion, a champion here as well in the WWF.
01:06:23Ken Shamrock, no stranger to no-holds-barred competition.
01:06:27He has fought every kind of hand-to-hand combat there is to fight, including the UFC, and he has dominated all of them.
01:06:33Bradshaw now, the 300-pounder with Shamrock.
01:06:37Great fall-away slam that time by Bradshaw.
01:06:40Rules are simple in this type of matchup.
01:06:42There are none.
01:06:43That's right.
01:06:44That's the rules.
01:06:45Bradshaw, first cover of the match, hooks the leg, and a kick-out by Ken Shamrock.
01:06:49Boy, I tell you, as wild as this one is gonna be, I can't wait to see how wild that tag team match is gonna get just a little bit later on tonight
01:06:57when Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock will team up for the first time ever to face Triple H and The Undertaker.
01:07:04Shot blocked that time by Shamrock to knock the big man Bradshaw down.
01:07:07And look at Shamrock now, up over the top, hooks the leg, goes for the cover.
01:07:10Now he's going for the, look at this.
01:07:12Wait a minute.
01:07:13We will maybe see a submission in a street fight.
01:07:15Bradshaw's in trouble.
01:07:17Good heavens, Bradshaw can't get away from it.
01:07:19Shamrock has that crossed leg breaker just anchored down, and he's trying to hook the ankle, and Bradshaw's doing everything he can to squirm out of the way.
01:07:27But Bradshaw's in the middle of the ring.
01:07:28He needs to make it to the ropes, folks.
01:07:30Hammering away now.
01:07:31Keep in mind, no holds barred.
01:07:33This is a street fight.
01:07:34Bradshaw on the ropes.
01:07:35Bradshaw had two choices there, folks.
01:07:37Crawl out of that ring or get his leg broken, and he chose the former.
01:07:42Wait a minute.
01:07:43They're getting a little close over here, Michael.
01:07:44This is like Bradshaw's a wild man himself.
01:07:47He'll take 10 shots and throw 50 just to land five.
01:07:50He'll go head first and keep on coming, and Shamrock is meeting him every step of the way.
01:07:55Shamrock with a right hand now to Bradshaw.
01:07:57Look out.
01:07:58Bradshaw going into the bell table.
01:07:59Oh, my.
01:08:00Hit your feet, Michael.
01:08:01He may need to move.
01:08:02Bradshaw on the bell table, and Shamrock hammering away in this no holds barred street fight.
01:08:06Well, this whole thing started with Ken Shamrock sided with Vince McMahon against the Ministry.
01:08:11Shamrock was even the one who rescued Stephanie at one point from the clutches of The Undertaker.
01:08:16Shamrock's sister Ryan, who was abducted by The Undertaker, and Shamrock now has that baseball bat.
01:08:22Wait a minute.
01:08:23Bradshaw out of the way.
01:08:30Bradshaw now tossing Shamrock back into the ring.
01:08:32Somebody grab that bat.
01:08:34Grab the dog.
01:08:35Bradshaw's got it now.
01:08:36Bradshaw's got it now.
01:08:37Bradshaw now has that baseball bat.
01:08:39Oh, into the gut of Shamrock.
01:08:42And across the back.
01:08:44I don't care how mean you are.
01:08:45I don't care how tough you are.
01:08:47There is no way that you're gonna stand up to an assault with a baseball bat.
01:08:51Good Lord, they've cleared everything out over here at ringside.
01:08:55This isn't normal.
01:08:57WWF rules.
01:08:58Another chop block by Ken Shamrock to once again knock Bradshaw off his feet.
01:09:04Now Shamrock has the back pocket.
01:09:07He swung and he hit Bradshaw right in the stomach and right in the head.
01:09:11Back to the head.
01:09:12Shamrock to Bradshaw.
01:09:13And Shamrock now the world's most dangerous man proving why.
01:09:19And now he's trying to choke the breath out of Bradshaw with that baseball bat.
01:09:24It's a tribute to Bradshaw that he is still able to stand on his feet after getting whacked
01:09:28with that baseball bat twice.
01:09:30And now Shamrock.
01:09:31Look, he's got him trapped.
01:09:32He's trying to choke him out.
01:09:33He's got the carotid arteries on either side of the neck compressed.
01:09:36And he's using that bat as a point of leverage.
01:09:38And Jim, look at how red the face is of Bradshaw.
01:09:41Bradshaw struggling for air.
01:09:43Struggling for breath air.
01:09:44He's not gonna give up though.
01:09:46This could be a choke out.
01:09:47If Shamrock could keep that clamped on long enough, Bradshaw's not,
01:09:51he's not gonna get enough blood to his brain.
01:09:52He's gonna pass out.
01:09:53Keep in mind no holds barred folks.
01:09:55There's basically no rules.
01:09:56This is a street fight.
01:09:57Bradshaw grabbing a referee, Tim White.
01:10:00Bradshaw trying to reach for anything he can at this.
01:10:03Oh, that's it.
01:10:04That's it.
01:10:05Shamrock has choked down Bradshaw.
01:10:07The referee calls through the bell.
01:10:09Here's the winner of the world's most dangerous man, Ken Shiprock.
01:10:14Look out.
01:10:15Referee Tim White, he had no chance.
01:10:17He had no choice to stop that thing.
01:10:19Or else was Bradshaw could be seriously injured, permanently injured.
01:10:23Well, he can't get Shamrock off Bradshaw now.
01:10:25We've seen the look in the eyes like this of Shamrock before.
01:10:28When Shamrock snapped, he's uncontrollable.
01:10:30And here now the officials are out.
01:10:32More officials and agents now trying, trying desperately to get Shamrock off Bradshaw.
01:10:38He's chucked out Bradshaw.
01:10:40He's got that bad after everybody.
01:10:41Oh, my God.
01:10:42There's Sergeant Slaughter.
01:10:43Slaughter.
01:10:44And Shamrock has got nuts.
01:10:47He snapped.
01:10:48Shamrock is snapped on Sergeant Slaughter.
01:10:51I got this as mayhem.
01:10:53It's just, it's unadulterated mayhem and nobody can come near Ken Shamrock.
01:10:58Shamrock is snapped.
01:11:00Meanwhile, Kevin Kelly's in the boiler room with Mankind.
01:11:03Mankind tonight here on SmackDown, you renew an old rivalry against the big boss man.
01:11:08No, Kevin, as I was sitting in this boiler room, I suddenly had the feeling,
01:11:12doggone it, why don't we just call off the whole thing for forgive and forget, let bygones be forgotten.
01:11:19Then I realized if I were to do that, I'd be out of a job and UPN would be out one sports entertainment spectacular.
01:11:26So for those of you who don't know me, let me explain myself.
01:11:30I sit in boiler rooms because I enjoy the ambiance.
01:11:34I wear a sweaty leather mask because it helps me sell little dolls.
01:11:39I wear a shirt and tie because it looks so damn good.
01:11:42And I will shove this rancid sock that looks a lot like me down the gullet of the boss man because I can.
01:11:51And because the fans seem to enjoy it quite a bit.
01:11:54Have a nice day.
01:11:56X-Pac, you can't hide from me forever, X-Pac.
01:12:00Get out of here, this is the deal.
01:12:02And what a whiner.
01:12:04Tonight, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin will feel the wrath of the most omnipotent force ever created here in the World Wrestling Federation.
01:12:13The corporate ministry.
01:12:15Yeah.
01:12:16Created by me.
01:12:17And here comes the corporate team's enforcer, the boss man, and Shane McMahon.
01:12:20The corporate ministry.
01:12:21Is it a union with The Undertaker?
01:12:22Well, that remains to be seen.
01:12:23There's so many questions that remain to be answered.
01:12:24I just cannot understand how Shane McMahon can coexist with a man like The Undertaker after what's going on.
01:12:28The terrorization of the McMahon family.
01:12:29Vince McMahon and his daughter Stephanie apparently left the building a little bit ago.
01:12:35Well, folks, here he comes.
01:12:36The most durable, the most indestructible, the most unique, and the most likable superstar in this business.
01:12:42The most durable, the most indestructible, the most unique, and the most likable superstar in this business.
01:12:45There will never be another Mick Foley, but, Michael, this one's not finished yet.
01:13:09And here we go now.
01:13:10The big boss man, the corporate team's enforcer, hammering away on Mankind.
01:13:15Mankind gives his heart, his body and soul, seems to be impervious to pain.
01:13:20You know, and that's what's scary, Michael, because he's not impervious to it.
01:13:24He feels it just like anybody else does, but he disregards it, and he gets past it, and he goes on.
01:13:30My!
01:13:31Double-armed DDT by Mankind, the former WWF champion.
01:13:36And he's calling for Mr. Socko, and folks, if you don't know the story on Socko,
01:13:41I doubt we got time to tell you.
01:13:43Mr. Socko now on the hand of Mankind, and Boss Man wants no part of that Socko.
01:13:48You know what?
01:13:49Get that thing off your head.
01:13:50Wait a minute.
01:13:51From behind, it's Test.
01:13:53Test tosses Boss Man back in the ring.
01:13:56Well, the problem between Test and the Boss Man, we've seen them.
01:13:59Mankind rolls him over in a kick out after two.
01:14:01Didn't know that Test was a friend of Mankind's, don't think Mankind knew it as well.
01:14:05Perhaps he isn't, perhaps it's just they have one thing, one thing on their plate,
01:14:09a corporate agenda.
01:14:10Boss Man now hammering away, right hand to Mankind.
01:14:14Nobody home, Boss Man over the top rope.
01:14:17We saw that at Backlash after Mankind had won the Boiler Room Brawl.
01:14:21Wait a minute, look who's on his way down.
01:14:23Boss Man's the guy that attacked Mankind, and there's Paul White.
01:14:26Big Show, he's the guy that Mankind was in the Boiler Room Brawl with.
01:14:31And the Big Show now, Boss Man back in the hallway over the top rope.
01:14:37And look at this now, Socko, Socko shoved in the throat, the multiple claw on Boss Man.
01:14:44Here is your Mankind.
01:14:52Can you believe the Big Show playing the part of a bouncer when Boss Man was about to take off?
01:14:58He pressed him over his head, 325 pounds, threw him back in the ring, that was it.
01:15:03And speaking of playing the part of bouncers, what about Miley Cruz former bodyguard?
01:15:08Test coming down and tossing Boss Man back in the ring.
01:15:11Big Show tests Mankind, perhaps unified with a corporate agenda.
01:15:16Sending a message to Shane McMahon, now corporate ministry.
01:15:20I tell you folks, you talk about the corporate ministry, it looks like there's some roblins.
01:15:24It looks like there's some alliances being forced.
01:15:26Wait a minute.
01:15:27Billy Gunn and his friend X-Pac.
01:15:30Billy Gunn's still upset.
01:15:32And there's Kane, X-Pac's partner.
01:15:37You do what you want, I ain't through if you got shit.
01:15:39Billy Gunn upset still that he lost a tag team championship match tonight to Kane and X-Pac.
01:15:45And there's The Rock.
01:15:47The Rock, the people's champion on his way to the arena.
01:15:51The Rock and perhaps the greatest WWF tag team match in history.
01:15:56Coming up next, The Rock teams with Stone Cold to take on Triple H and The Undertaker.
01:16:02It's up next on SmackDown.
01:16:21There's Triple H in China along to the mean street posse.
01:16:25Going tag team competition is scheduled for a one fall.
01:16:28Biggie is winning a company by the ninth wonder of the world, China.
01:16:32It's just a match of rock time.
01:16:34Weighing in at 260 pounds, Triple.
01:16:39As we get set for perhaps the greatest tag team match in the history of the WWF,
01:16:44where they saved it man.
01:16:46Well, that's a very good question.
01:16:48His buddies are here, but we don't see the head honcho.
01:16:51But we are gonna see four of the most diverse personalities ever to engage in a tag team
01:16:56match right here tonight, Kyle.
01:16:58But will it turn into every man for himself?
01:17:00Or is it some kind of plot or set up or trap?
01:17:03These guys just cannot get along.
01:17:06And his tag team partner, being accompanied by Paul Verne.
01:17:26Oh, Lord.
01:17:27He weighs in at 326 pounds.
01:17:29Our question has been answered.
01:17:30The Undertaker.
01:17:32I never thought I would see Shane McMahon and The Undertaker shoulder to shoulder.
01:17:38And apparently, Jim, we have seen the forming of an unholy alliance right here tonight on SmackDown.
01:17:46And they are in cahoots, and The Undertaker, who organized the Ministry of Darkness,
01:17:51who terrorized Vince McMahon's family and attempted to control the WWF by extortion,
01:17:57has now joined forces with Shane's corporation to form the corporate ministry.
01:18:03Shane McMahon is deemed as such the corporate ministry.
01:18:07The Undertaker.
01:18:09And Shane McMahon, the son of Vince McMahon, who's run this company for two decades.
01:18:16And what have we seen formed here?
01:18:19Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?
01:18:26And their opponents, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 275 pounds, The Rock!
01:18:38The Rock, former WWF champion, who was kicked out of the corporation this past Monday night on Raw,
01:18:45because Shane McMahon said The Rock failed him in his battle against Austin at Backlash this past Sunday night.
01:18:52Well, let's not forget, he was kicked out of the corporation after he basically told Shane McMahon every name in the book.
01:18:58It was a pretty good bet. He was fixed to quit.
01:19:01The Undertaker and Triple H, apparently their only bond, their only link, being Shane McMahon.
01:19:09They're cornering The Rock, and he slips out from the middle of him.
01:19:16And The Rock now hammering away on Triple H.
01:19:18And right now, folks, we've got a two-on-one.
01:19:20The Rock's partners don't call Steve Austin, but the rattlesnake is nowhere to be found.
01:19:25And look out, here comes the Cavalry, the Texas rattlesnake, taking it out on Triple H.
01:19:40The WWF champion.
01:19:43Inside the ring, The Rock is cooking.
01:19:46On The Undertaker, outside the ring, Stone Cold is all over Triple H.
01:19:52And we have got pandemonium everywhere here on SmackDown.
01:19:56In the ring, The Undertaker just leveled The Rock.
01:19:58Austin now inside.
01:19:59And Austin going for the phenom.
01:20:01And the phenom with the right hand, the Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
01:20:05And another one from the seven-footer.
01:20:07The Undertaker is evil.
01:20:09He's a changed man.
01:20:11He's demonic.
01:20:12And tonight he's formed an allegiance with Shane McMahon, the corporate ministry.
01:20:16And here's Austin.
01:20:17Loose that's press.
01:20:18And Austin having the way on The Undertaker.
01:20:20And look at him on The Undertaker.
01:20:22Austin and Cole trying to be as sadistic to The Undertaker as The Undertaker was sadistic Austin.
01:20:27Cover now.
01:20:28And Triple H makes the save after two.
01:20:30Boy, I'll tell you what, we have got mayhem.
01:20:32And if you look outside the ring, we've got enough supporting cast of characters to have a full-scale street riot.
01:20:38But, Jim, if Stone Cold and The Rock can work together, they may be the only two guys in the WWF who could pull it off going through this corporate ministry.
01:20:48Good Lord, Austin sagged in the corner and he comes right back out fighting this.
01:20:52There is no quit in the Rattlesnake.
01:20:54And I doubt very seriously if you will see Stone Cold Steve Austin tag The Rock into this match.
01:21:00Stone Cold now kicked to the midsection.
01:21:02Went for the stunner.
01:21:03Triple H counter.
01:21:04He caught him with a knee to the face.
01:21:05Triple H and The Undertaker on one side.
01:21:09Austin and The Rock on the other.
01:21:11You see Shane McMahon, Chyna, The Meat Street Posse outside the ring tearing on Triple H.
01:21:17Who missed with the knee?
01:21:18You never thought it would be possible.
01:21:19I don't even know if Vince McMahon himself could have made this merger come about.
01:21:24What can Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon be thinking?
01:21:27And Triple H now goes for the cover.
01:21:29And Austin gets the shoulder up.
01:21:30Do you suppose they are at home now?
01:21:33Do you suppose that they know anything about this?
01:21:36Do you suppose that they could grasp that Vince's son and Stephanie's brother could do something like this and stab the whole family in the back?
01:21:44For weeks, The Undertaker playing mind games, psychological warfare on Vince McMahon and Stephanie.
01:21:49And tonight, tonight, an allegiance apparently has been formed with Vince McMahon's son, his only son, the heir apparent to the throne, Shane McMahon.
01:22:00And in this case, Michael, I would have to say that the sins of the son will be paid back by the father somehow.
01:22:09Vince McMahon has never stood for something like this to go on.
01:22:13This capacity crowd comes to life.
01:22:15Stone Cold now, hammering back.
01:22:17Back on Triple H, off the second rope.
01:22:19Austin now, the Rattlesnake, on the attack.
01:22:22And he caught him.
01:22:24Sledgehammer to the face.
01:22:26And here comes The Rock.
01:22:28And so far, Austin and The Rock working as a unit.
01:22:31A hard tag from the People's Champ.
01:22:34Can you believe they made that tag?
01:22:36Anybody who's seen Austin and Rock's Wars at WrestleMania and Backlash, no.
01:22:40They got no love for each other.
01:22:42The only thing they have in common is a dislike for Shane McMahon.
01:22:45Austin and Rock didn't want to be partners.
01:22:47They were forced and this is by Shane McMahon.
01:22:50And now Rock, the three-generation athlete in the WWF, pairing away on the Phenom.
01:22:55Well, I'll tell you what, Rock's a college man through and through.
01:22:58Austin is redneck as redneck can be.
01:23:01And they do make an unlikely pair.
01:23:02Cover by the Phenom now.
01:23:03There's two.
01:23:04And Rock gets his left shoulder up.
01:23:06They didn't choose this situation, Michael.
01:23:08Let's make that clear to everybody.
01:23:10Stone Cold nor The Rock chose this.
01:23:12They were forced together by Shane McMahon as a slap in the face, as an embarrassment.
01:23:18The Undertaker and Triple H not forced together.
01:23:21They're part of this whole corporate merger.
01:23:23The corporate team of the ministry and The Rock planted The Undertaker.
01:23:27Hook of the leg now.
01:23:28There's one.
01:23:29Two and again.
01:23:30Triple H makes the save.
01:23:31How long do you think this has gone on?
01:23:34How long do you think that Shane McMahon and The Undertaker have been on speaking terms even?
01:23:39Much less in cahoots.
01:23:41Shane McMahon cheering on The Undertaker.
01:23:43And here comes The Brahma Bull.
01:23:45The 275 pounder whipped into the ropes now.
01:23:48Undertaker misses with a close one.
01:23:50And both men knock each other down.
01:23:52The Rock, charismatic, electrifying.
01:23:55We've said it, a three-time WWE Champion.
01:23:57Unprecedented for a man his age.
01:23:59His best years are still ahead of him.
01:24:01And the ones he had are pretty darn good.
01:24:03And don't forget The Undertaker, one of the most spectacular athletes.
01:24:06The Phenom in the history of the WWF.
01:24:09From the dark side, he's made a demonic turn.
01:24:12And listen to the crowd.
01:24:15Can you believe it?
01:24:17They are so firmly behind The Rock.
01:24:19Right now whipped into the corner by The Phenom.
01:24:22Undertaker misses.
01:24:23Rock counters.
01:24:24Rock bottom.
01:24:25Rock bottom.
01:24:26Triple H.
01:24:27And here's Austin now.
01:24:28Austin with right hands to Triple H.
01:24:31And all four men going at it.
01:24:33Well, that's all it took to like this one on fire.
01:24:35This is like walking through.
01:24:37Wait a minute.
01:24:38Wait a minute.
01:24:39Here comes the rest of the corporate ministry.
01:24:41Boss Man, Acolytes, Viscera, Midian.
01:24:46God, how many of them are there?
01:24:48How many of them are there on two men?
01:24:50Stone Cold Team Austin.
01:24:51Wait a minute.
01:24:52Wait a minute.
01:24:53It's Test.
01:24:54It's Test.
01:24:55It's Shamrock.
01:24:56The Big Show.
01:24:58It is a street riot.
01:25:00Hey Shane McMahon's coming over here behind us.
01:25:02Holding up that chair.
01:25:03He's trying to run for cover.
01:25:05This thing is broken completely out of control.
01:25:07The Rock and Austin.
01:25:08Big Show.
01:25:09Test Shamrock.
01:25:10Has cleared the ring of the corporate ministry.
01:25:13Folks, I'll tell you what.
01:25:14The corporate ministry is not the only one that's got some backup.
01:25:17The Big Show.
01:25:18Stone Cold.
01:25:19The Rock.
01:25:20Test.
01:25:21They're all standing tall.
01:25:22Look out now.
01:25:23Austin and Undertaker in the ring.
01:25:24Undertaker with a pooch to the face.
01:25:25Keep in mind, folks, the referee has called for the bell.
01:25:29This thing is spread all over the building.
01:25:31They're fighting the crowd.
01:25:32They're fighting on the stage.
01:25:33And there's Shane McMahon with that metal forward chair.
01:25:36Wait a minute.
01:25:37Wait a minute.
01:25:38Austin in trouble.
01:25:39What a counter by Austin.
01:25:41Undertaker.
01:25:42No, Austin.
01:25:43Couldn't be planted here with a Chokeslam.
01:25:45Chokeslam.
01:25:46The Rocket Triple H had batted through the crowd.
01:25:53Wait a minute.
01:25:54Shane with a chair.
01:25:55Vince McMahon's here.
01:25:56Vince McMahon.
01:25:57Vince McMahon.
01:25:58Vince McMahon just cold cocked his son Shane.
01:26:02Vince McMahon just knocked out his own son.
01:26:05The Undertaker with a chair.
01:26:07Vince McMahon has grabbed the chair.
01:26:09Vince is saving Austin.
01:26:11Vince McMahon has sacrificed himself for Austin.
01:26:15Vince McMahon is unconscious.
01:26:16Did you hear the impact, the concussion of his head on that chair?
01:26:17The Undertaker standing over the fallen Vince McMahon.
01:26:18Vince McMahon has sacrificed himself for Stone Cold.
01:26:35The Undertaker standing over Vince McMahon.
01:26:38That sound, Michael, it could have been his head as well as the chair.
01:26:43Wait a minute.
01:26:44Stunner.
01:26:45Stunner.
01:26:46Stunner.
01:26:47Austin has stunned the feet off.
01:26:50Stone Cold has stunned the feet off.
01:26:53And now look at Shane.
01:26:54Shane hammering away on an unconscious Vince McMahon.
01:26:58Damn it.
01:26:59Damn it.
01:27:00That's Shane's father.
01:27:01Shane McMahon has attacked his own father while his father is unconscious.
01:27:05Wait a minute.
01:27:06A rattlesnake.
01:27:07Take a look at your surroundings, Shane.
01:27:11And your backup is gone, pal.
01:27:12The corporate ministry stock is about to go way down.
01:27:21Stone Cold returns the favor to Vince McMahon.
01:27:26That's gone, Michael.
01:27:27This is the wildest thing I've ever seen.
01:27:28Both McMahons are laid out in the middle of the ring.
01:27:29Shane McMahon at the hands of Steve Austin.
01:27:30Vince McMahon at the hands of The Undertaker.
01:27:31And Stone Cold is standing above him.
01:27:32Stone Cold with a toast for good measure.
01:27:33The rattlesnake.
01:27:34The rattlesnake.
01:27:35The rattlesnake.
01:27:36Has cut the head of this new corporate ministry.
01:27:42But Vince McMahon is still out of the home after that sickening butt from the chair by The Undertaker.
01:27:50I am seriously concerned about winning the butt.
01:28:04concerned that Vince McMahon has been critically injured.
01:28:07The sound of that chair smacking off his skull
01:28:10was sickening.
01:28:13Stone Cold Steve Austin,
01:28:15the WWF champion.
01:28:19This is far from over.
01:28:21Shane McMahon and The Undertaker
01:28:23have apparently, apparently
01:28:25forged an unholy alliance.
01:28:28It's the corporate ministry.
01:28:30The corporate ministry.
01:28:31Shane McMahon and The Undertaker
01:28:34How far will Shane McMahon
01:28:36and The Finox go?
