01:58KONIEC!
02:28We're back with our WWF action and it seems like everyone who's anyone is getting involved now in the 30 man over the top rope Ro-Rumbo.
02:40You didn't seem too impressed by my artwork a while ago.
02:46On the Olympic we all are impressed with this man.
02:52Well speak for yourself.
02:56That's Crush.
03:00Here he comes to the squad Shaka and he's on his way to the Royal Rebel of Clown.
03:08Big man from Kona, Hawaii and when he goes like that that means Shaka Fry, yeah.
03:14And what does that mean?
03:16I'm not sure.
03:17That's what I thought.
03:18Hey listen a lot of times you'd say something you really don't know what you're talking about.
03:21Well I know what I'm talking about when I look at him.
03:23In January if he had any brains at all he would be sitting on the beach in Hawaii instead of being in the ring with me and 29 other individuals in the Royal Rumble.
03:32I don't know about that.
03:33I mean it is so prestigious the winner of the Royal Rumble to face the WWF champion whomever that may be at WrestleMania.
03:41I'm looking forward to it.
03:42Every man for himself you'll be hit from the right to left from the top to the bottom from all sides in the Rumble.
03:49And even under the ring that's where Lawler's gonna be drawing pictures.
03:52Oh listen to this.
03:53That remains to be seen.
03:55Macho man.
03:56Uh huh.
03:57Light waist and uh ooh nice take down.
04:00Big strong guy.
04:01Yeah.
04:02Wrestling knowledge there.
04:03Scientific yeah I'm impressed.
04:05Crush all over his opposition Dave Siegfrieds.
04:10Hang on the rope.
04:12I guess that's one way to break it up.
04:14Uh oh he's back.
04:15What's he doing back?
04:17He wants probably wants to buy that painting I did of him while ago.
04:20Do you really think that's who Dave is?
04:23Ooh look at that.
04:24That is not cool.
04:26Now that is funny.
04:27No that's not cool.
04:28That is not cool right there.
04:30I'll guarantee you that.
04:32Siegfrieds off the rope.
04:33Nice.
04:34No look.
04:35Can't get the big man down.
04:36Ooh.
04:37What a suplex.
04:38We had an occasional job with Crush earlier on about his participation in the Royal Rumble.
04:44Here's what he said.
04:45Aloha everybody.
04:46This is Crush wishing you all very haole makahikiho which means Happy New Year.
04:50Royal Rumble right around the corner bro.
04:52This is Crush's chance once and for all to prove exactly where I want to be in the World Wrestling Federation.
04:58And that's on top.
04:59Royal Rumble I'm coming for one reason and one reason only.
05:01And that is to win brother.
05:03Shaka from Crush.
05:05Shaka.
05:06Uh huh.
05:07Well he's gonna go home a sad man after the Royal Rumble.
05:11Well he's taking a couple of elbows there into the kisser.
05:14Going downstairs now as opposition Siegfrieds.
05:17Nice reversal.
05:18Big man gets Siegfried.
05:19Coming out the rope.
05:20Pass him up.
05:21Drives it into the back.
05:22That's raw power right there.
05:24Shaka big man.
05:25And that's not cool again.
05:27I'll tell you what.
05:29That lady looks like she needs a shower anyway.
05:31Ooh.
05:32Whoa.
05:33Whoa.
05:34That was not funny at all.
05:35Roll on top of the clown Crush.
05:37Look at Dallas.
05:38Crush with the big man up above and down to the canvas.
05:43Uh huh.
05:44Come under the ring and get some of that.
05:46Yeah.
05:47Oh wow.
05:48Dropping the big leg.
05:50Shaka.
05:52That might impress you macho man.
05:55But it didn't impress the clown.
05:56He's just laughing at him.
05:58All right now Dave.
05:59Siegfrieds is not glad to get off.
06:01The big man from Kona applying his hold.
06:05More and more pressure on Siegfrieds.
06:07We're gonna get some pineapple juice here in a second.
06:10Ooh.
06:11Down to the canvas.
06:13And Siegfried is likely to submit.
06:17Referee right there.
06:19And it's all over.
06:20Shaka broad.
06:21Yeah.
06:26And you wonder what an off-crunch had an opportunity
06:29to gander over at the clown and see some of the antics of the clown
06:34outside of the ring while Crush was taking care of business on the inside.
06:40Look.
06:41Look at the faces on those kids.
06:42They love that clown.
06:43I think they're smiling at this man.
06:45Oh look at that.
06:46Here's the replay.
06:47There's Crush.
06:48And he has gotta be the biggest, strongest guy in the WWF.
06:52Here's the big Shaka broad.
06:54The Crush.
06:55To the outside once again.
06:58Victorious on his way to the Royal Rumble.
07:00Crush will be back as we continue with more
07:03.
07:05That's funny.
07:09Long guy.
07:10He's just throwing a ball right into some little kid's face.
07:16He just hit somebody right in the face.
07:18Hey, hey, don't put your hands on the clowns.
07:20Look, all he's trying to do is say, I'm just trying to have some fun here.
07:24Hey, he's giving him a warning.
07:25Those are his people out there.
07:26Well, they just hit some kids in the face with that brow.
07:30I think that's perhaps what Crush is taking exception to.
07:35Exactly.
07:36It's just a little rubber ball.
07:37That's not gonna hurt anybody.
07:38Crush certainly has that clown by the arm.
07:40Trying to break his arm.
07:42There's a warning from Crush, clown.
07:46Yeah.
07:47A big warning.
07:48Really?
07:49From a big man.
07:50See that?
07:51That clown's not cool.
07:52He's not cool at all.
07:53That's a true clown.
07:54He can find humor in anything.
07:55All right, well...
07:56Where is the...
07:57Geez, I got Gallagher running the camera.
07:58He's on roller skates.
07:59Now he's on this side of the room.
08:00Hey, if you didn't catch Crush's comments at the end of the match, Ray Rougeau caught up
08:02with him afterwards.
08:03Check this out.
08:04Crush, obviously you were not amused by the clown's antics.
08:05What did you tell him?
08:06Well, first of all, Raymond, I happen to know a little bit about clowns, okay?
08:08My grandfather was a clown, and he worked very, very hard to make the clowns.
08:13And everybody laughed.
08:14And he was a pleasure to be around.
08:16This guy, he does nothing but hurt people, and the only person laughing is him, okay?
08:20Now the wrestlers, picking on the wrestlers, playing jokes on the wrestlers was bad enough.
08:23But when he started picking on the kids, brah, he stepped way out of bounds.
08:26Now I've given you a very, very stiff answer.
08:28I've given you a very, very stiff answer.
08:29Check this out.
08:30Crush, obviously you were not amused by the clowns' antics.
08:32What did you tell him?
08:33Well, first of all, Raymond, I happen to know a little bit about clowns, okay?
08:36My grandfather was a clown, and he worked very, very hard to make kids and everybody laugh.
08:40And he was a pleasure to be around.
08:42I've given you a very, very stiff warning.
08:44And I hope for your sake, you'll take my advice.
08:47That's it, brah.
08:49Good morning.
08:51This is WWF Mania on USA.
08:55Now, a programming note.
08:57Coming up tomorrow, Mean Gene Okerlev and Bobby the Brain.
09:02Yes!
09:03They are on the loose in New York City looking for Monday Night Raw.
09:08And that concludes this programming note.
09:11A la Vince McMahon, business taken care of.
09:14Let's get to the action.
09:15The superstars.
09:16Hacksaw, Jim Duggan, and the Repo Man.
09:18Hello, everybody, and welcome to this exclusive matchup for WWF Mania.
09:30I'm Sean Mooney along with Lord Alfred Hayes.
09:34And Your Lordship, I know you have a lot to say about this new program.
09:37The newest in a tremendous lineup from the World Wrestling Federation.
09:40Let's talk about this encounter first.
09:43Repo Man, set for action.
09:45Not one of my favorites.
09:46Well, he is mine.
09:47He's a very exciting performer inside the ring, a great athlete, and he comes in here with great credentials indeed.
09:53Well, I won't deny the fact he is one of the most cunning individuals in the singles ranks.
10:00But this is going to be some battle.
10:02You heard it.
10:03Hi-oh!
10:04Hacksaw, Jim Duggan.
10:05Will you stop blasting that noise in my ears?
10:08What are you talking about?
10:09You've got to get excited about the proud American.
10:13Everybody on their feet.
10:14Hacksaw waving the red, white, and blue.
10:17The noise is deafening in here, Your Lordship.
10:20Well, it certainly is.
10:21He's the most exciting character, this fellow.
10:23The way that he gets in that ring.
10:25And then we'll see what he can do exactly with the Repo Man.
10:28Not too many have been able to do much with this fellow.
10:31Well, you must consider the size and strength of Hacksaw.
10:34Yet alone his determination.
10:35Do you really think Repo Man is going to match up to that?
10:39Well, the crowd is behind Hacksaw.
10:42Yes, well, they can be misguided, as many people are sometimes.
10:46However, Repo Man looking very carefully at Hacksaw, Jim Duggan.
10:50And I think he likes what he sees there.
10:52I think he sees a possible victory here for himself.
10:56Yeah, perhaps a little intimidation on the part of Hacksaw.
10:59Getting up on the ropes here and getting the crowd to chant USA.
11:05And it is clear, Repo Man is not too pleased.
11:09Well, he looks pretty confident to me.
11:13Also, I must say that Hacksaw looks confident as well.
11:16But that may be over-expressing how he feels inside himself.
11:20I mentioned earlier this is an exclusive matchup for WWF Mania.
11:24And what a great program it is going to be.
11:27I think it's going to be one of the most interesting shows we've ever had for the WWF.
11:33Well, it's certainly a very exciting conception.
11:36We're going to find out lots of information on this program.
11:39We've already heard some things that are going to be given to us here.
11:43And Todd Pettingale...
11:45Your Lordship, I believe that is Todd Pettingill.
11:48Really been doing your homework, I see.
11:50Ah, pronunciation, it doesn't really matter.
11:52Put in jail or Pettingill or anything.
11:54Elbow right to the chin of Repo Man.
11:57He goes down in a hurry.
11:59Followed up by a clothesline and another.
12:02And Repo Man is going to take a little time to think about it.
12:06It's the first wise move he's made in this match.
12:09Indeed, a very intelligent move.
12:11Take a little refuge on the outside.
12:13Seek a little haven.
12:14Reassess the situation and come back and really barnstorm.
12:18You know, your Lordship, not only on WWF Mania,
12:20you're going to see exclusive matchups.
12:22It should be the first program to tune in on Saturday mornings
12:26to find out all that's happening in the WWF.
12:29Tempted sunset clip here by Repo Man.
12:35Right to the side of the head.
12:39So far, Repossessor has had a difficult time
12:43in this match against Jim Duggan.
12:47Well, he certainly is having a rough ride,
12:49but he has tremendous stamina
12:51the Repo Man, and he can come back at Max or Jim Duggan,
12:55I'm sure, any time he chooses.
12:57However, at the moment, Duggan is dictating
13:00the way this belt is riding.
13:02Until then.
13:04Certainly no lack of exciting action in this encounter.
13:06Yeah, you can really feel all the excitement throughout the WWF
13:10as we rapidly approach the Royal Rumble, taking place two weeks from tomorrow, Your Lordship.
13:16Absolutely, but just look now at Repo Man taking over control.
13:20The whole momentum has swung in his favor, and now you'll see some devastating moves from Repo Man.
13:26And it turned quickly. That's one thing you always have to watch with Repo Man.
13:32He can turn the situation around in the blink of an eye.
13:35Absolutely, that's what makes him a most exciting wrestler to watch any time.
13:41Hacksaw hard into the corner, definitely struggling at this point.
13:46Repo Man is all over him.
13:48Duggan absorbing some really heavy blows there,
13:51some huge right-handers from the Repo Man,
13:55and I would say that Duggan's in a lot of trouble right now.
13:58Repo Man holding on with a chin lock.
14:01A shot of that toe rope he's been known to use on occasion.
14:05Slammed into the corner once again, but this time Hacksaw is ready for a charging Repo Man.
14:12Up there, the dental work checks after this encounter.
14:15Just a little too ambitious on the part of Repo Man there,
14:20charging in to try and finish off Duggan.
14:22But Duggan had something waiting for him, something in reserve.
14:26Repo Man didn't expect that, but I expect him to overcome this adversity also.
14:30Up now for the body slam.
14:34A lot of power being shown by Duggan there.
14:38And now he's got the hand up.
14:40You know what that means, Your Lordship?
14:42Three-point stance, clothesline, here's a cover.
14:45And a surprising victory by Hacksaw Jim Duggan
14:50as he wraps up this match with Repo Man.
14:53And you look to be in a state of shock, Your Lordship.
14:56Well, not exactly shocked, because all through this match,
14:58Duggan showed himself to be extremely alert, very, very powerful,
15:02and he put a lot of finesse into that particular match.
15:05Really a tremendous victory there for Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
15:09You have to admit, his skills were razor sharp, Your Lordship.
15:12And I do believe, Exai is back in a big way.
15:17He's ready to make his way to the top in the singles ranks.
15:20Well, now it's time for a Mania Replay.
15:23Take a look.
15:24And here's the power of that clothesline.
15:26And here's the victorious Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
15:28And now back to Petting Hill.
15:30Hacksaw Jim Duggan kicks some butt.
15:36Two ways to beat the Repo Man like Duggan did, or you make your payments.
15:40Hey, by the way, I want to say happy belated birthday to Elvis.
15:43He's not dead.
15:44Elvis is alive and living somewhere.
15:4658 years old yesterday.
15:47You want to check something out?
15:48Follow me.
15:49My man Slim got the Elvis look happening all over him.
15:53Coming up next, ladies and gentlemen, Yokozuna.
15:58What would Elvis say about Yokozuna?
16:00I wonder how much graver he can hold in his gullet.
16:09To be the World Wrestling Federation Champion, you've got to want it every day.
16:13It takes an integrated approach to training, and that is what IcoPro is all about.
16:18It's scheduled for one fall.
16:22Currently in the ring, weighing in at 244 pounds.
16:26Unhailing from Grand Forks, North Dakota.
16:30Here is George Anderson!
16:39Whoa, make a look.
16:41That's good.
16:43Weighing in at 505 pounds.
16:47Oh, my!
16:48We are hailing from the Polynesian Islands.
16:51Here is...
16:53Yokozuna!
16:56This guy can actually see.
16:58He is not behind the curtain.
17:00He's got the reputation for nobody ever knocking him off his feet.
17:05And, uh, I'm gonna say, well-deserved reputation.
17:08No one has ever knocked this big man off his feet.
17:12Much less defeated here in the WWE.
17:14There we see.
17:15I guess a bit of his entourage.
17:17Huh.
17:18You've got to like this guy with this size and the expert guidance from Mr. Fuji.
17:26He's going all the way to the top.
17:27Word is on the street that the earthquake just entered the Royal Rumble.
17:32Would that be something those guys going against each other?
17:36Well, it's every man for himself.
17:38I'm sure Earthquake in the Rumble.
17:41Yokozuna in the Rumble.
17:43We might be able to see a very interesting matchup there, but it's every man for himself.
17:47It's tag team partner against tag team partner.
17:50It's friend against friend, much less friend against foe.
17:53It's every man for himself.
17:55The winner of the Royal Rumble in three weeks guaranteed to face the WWF champion, whomever he may be, at WrestleMania.
18:05King, have you changed your mind about entering the Rumble yet?
18:08No.
18:09I'm in.
18:10I'm in.
18:11And what I'm excited about is the fact that I don't have any friends around here.
18:14So I don't have to worry about hurting anybody's feelings, just hurting some people.
18:18You've got a good point about that, not having any friends.
18:21Yokozuna ready to lock up with his opposition here.
18:25George Anderson.
18:26Look at the girth of this man.
18:29Huge.
18:30And what's just as remarkable is his extraordinary athleticism.
18:34He can move about that ring.
18:37Mr. Fuji really has a find here in Yokozuna.
18:42Unbelievable balance.
18:43I love it when he drops that big 550 pounds on him.
18:47You know, his last three opponents, they slid him under the dressing room door after the match.
18:51I wouldn't be surprised.
18:53505.
18:54He's huge.
18:57Yeah.
19:00Notice a different haircut at Mr. Fuji there.
19:03And look at this.
19:04Right into the suplex.
19:05Unbelievable.
19:07Gotta give the guy credit.
19:08He ran right in.
19:10That's the only way Yokozuna knows is straight ahead.
19:14Yokozuna.
19:15Off the rope and drop.
19:17Forget about it.
19:19That just hurt me and I'm way up here.
19:24That's a mean looking man, I'll tell you that.
19:27And he means business.
19:28Undefeated here in the WWF.
19:30Never even knocked off his feet so far.
19:32Is that what I've heard?
19:33That's exactly right.
19:34Headed to the Royal Rumble.
19:36Huge chop there by Yokozuna.
19:39Well, macho man, looks like I got my work cut out for me.
19:42Getting this big guy off his feet.
19:43What would you think if you saw the king pick him up and slam him?
19:47I think I was dreaming.
19:49I'd be impressed.
19:50That's for sure.
19:51I'd be very impressed for anyone to slam this man.
19:54For anyone to knock him off his feet.
19:55There's hardly any room for anybody else in the ring right now with Yokozuna in there.
19:59I just can't imagine what's going to happen.
20:0330 participants in the Royal Rumble.
20:06We'll start with two and every two minutes thereafter, we'll add more and more.
20:11Until we go through all 30, including a man standing by right now, the earthquake.
20:17Yokozuna, you're coming into the Royal Rumble as the biggest man.
20:21For years, the Quake has been the biggest man in the Royal Rumble.
20:26And from one big man to another, the Quake will be sure that you don't win.
20:34Look out, it's Banjo!
20:38The ring just moved six and a half feet.
20:41Are they going to build a special reinforced ring for this, the Royal Rumble?
20:44They're going to need it.
20:45Absolutely.
20:46No question of that.
20:48And here comes the part that you like, the King.
20:51Here it comes!
20:53What's this?
20:55I know somebody that wishes he wasn't in the ring with Yokozuna right now.
20:59That guy!
21:01I think we need to get this guy a real chair.
21:04Slide him under the dressing room door.
21:05Yokozuna from the land of the rising sun, once again victorious.
21:14Still, no one has knocked this man off his feet.
21:18And his undefeated streak remains intact.
21:22Really, really, really impressed. This is unbelievable.
21:26I think that Master Fuji is really proud of himself at this point.
21:30The Royal Rumble, looks like it's going Yokozuna's way, but there's a lot of other people involved.
21:34That's right. As long as the King's involved, you never know what's going to happen.
21:39This guy could go down.
21:43Are you kidding? What is the deal with this guy?
21:47How much would he weigh if we had converted to the metric system?
21:51He's that village in a tablecloth.
21:53Oh, you like ponytail.
21:55Get serious.
21:57I'm going to get serious if I can just for a second when we come back and tell you about Headlock on Hunger.
22:01The WWF, our superstars, team up to help those in Somalia.
22:06I'll tell you about it in a minute.
22:07So, higher education got you down?
22:12Well, snap into it!
22:14Stamp into a Slim Jim!
22:17Turn into the spice! That baby juicy taste!
22:20What is the meaning of this?
22:27Feel the excitement? Stamp into a Slim Jim!
22:33Victims enter the ring. They have a choice.
22:37But in Somalia, too many people are dying.
22:40The World Wrestling Federation is putting a headlock on hunger!
22:47No one should starve to death.
22:55Man, I'll tell you what, he's right.
22:57If you've seen any of your footage from Somalia, you know what we're talking about.
22:59I haven't been around the guys from the WWF for a long time, but I'll tell you what, they care.
23:05And the superstars are doing Headlock on Hunger.
23:09It's a way to help out.
23:10It's a big event at Madison Square Garden.
23:12It's scheduled for January the 29th.
23:15We want your help.
23:16What you can do if you can't show up is send your contribution to this address.
23:19Somalia Relief Fund, American Red Cross, P.O. Box 9131, Church Street Station, New York, New York, 102-56.
23:31Anything at all you can do to help would be appreciated.
23:34Let's go back to last week on Wrestling Challenge, the Intercontinental Champion.
23:38Shawn Michaels goes at it with Jim Brunzel.
23:41Take a look.
23:42I bet you somewhere, someplace, Marty Jannetty is watching this man very carefully.
23:48Because he wants what he has.
23:50He wants that Intercontinental title.
23:52He wants to beat him up.
23:54And plus he also wants to learn from him like he has all his life.
23:58What?
23:59That's right.
24:00He always walked in the shadows of Shawn Michaels.
24:03Not yet, sweetheart.
24:05Marty Jannetty, you can bet, is watching.
24:07Watching every move that this guy makes.
24:10Because the vendetta is not complete, Brain.
24:15Payback is brutal.
24:17Certainly is.
24:19There it is, the big prize.
24:21That's what it's all about.
24:23Even though this is a non-title matchup, Shawn Michaels knows, at least Brain, every 30 days he must defend.
24:30Well, he's smart.
24:31He's a lot smarter than Bret the Hitman Hart.
24:33Bret the Hitman Hart would defend the title twice a day if he could.
24:3630 days out of the month.
24:37Oh, what a nice.
24:38Did you see that?
24:39Fire mixed carry.
24:40I saw it.
24:41I saw it.
24:42He knows what he's doing in there.
24:44He's got the title.
24:45Well, I'm sure that's what Bret the Hitman would do.
24:47He'd defend the title every day, twice a day.
24:49He's that kind of a glory hound.
24:51He's a fighting champion.
24:52What's wrong with that?
24:53Whoa.
24:56Oh, yeah.
25:00Look at, look at, he's chewing gum, Brain.
25:03He's not eating a pizza.
25:04Is that dangerous?
25:05You can choke.
25:08Side headlock now by Brunzel.
25:10He's cool.
25:11Shawn won't stand this very long out.
25:15Leap frog over the top.
25:17Another leap frog but nobody coming.
25:19Got caught in midair.
25:21Look out.
25:22Atomic drop coming up.
25:27Beautiful arm drag by Brunzel.
25:30Oh, Brunzel's a veteran.
25:31Don't take nothing away from him.
25:32He can knock you off at any time.
25:35But, you know, he's...
25:37Shawn Michaels has it.
25:38He's got it all.
25:39He's got it all.
25:40He's, he's a wrestler of the nineties.
25:44But, coming up next, Monsoon,
25:46do I have a surprise?
25:48What are you talking about?
25:49Done it again.
25:50I'm a broadcast journalist
25:51and probably the greatest in the history
25:53of the World Wrestling Federation.
25:54What do you mind about?
25:55I am going to introduce the world
25:57to a new shining star on the horizon.
26:00Come on, please.
26:03Irish whip hard into the corner.
26:07Oh, look at that.
26:08Telegraph.
26:09That move.
26:10And Brunzel right out of his case.
26:14You know, I think Shawn did a lot better
26:16when he had Sensational Sherry out there.
26:18Oh, no, no, no, no.
26:19What happened to her brain?
26:20Mary?
26:21Sherry?
26:22Oh, you'll have to ask Shawn.
26:23I don't know.
26:24You, the broadcast journalist,
26:26you don't know?
26:27You fountain of misinformation.
26:28Oh, right up over to Taco Bell.
26:30Oh, ha!
26:31Planted an elbow right on the nose.
26:32Marty!
26:33Marty!
26:34Marty!
26:35What are they chanting?
26:36They're chanting Marty!
26:37Now believe me, Marty Gennetti is not here, and he doesn't want to come out if he was here.
26:50Because you know that man right there, the Intercontinental Champion, would take him apart.
26:55A blatant chokehold right in front of the referee by the champion.
27:00I'll tell you what, Brain, Brunzel has given this guy all he wants.
27:07Oh, look at that.
27:08There's the devastating drop kick I was telling you about.
27:20The devastating drop kick is the one that Brunzel has.
27:23No, it's the one he took.
27:25The second one he took.
27:26And another one from a standing position.
27:28Am I a broadcast journalist or what?
27:31You might be, or what?
27:33I'd like to know a little bit more about this luminary that you're talking about.
27:42This star, should I be looking towards the north?
27:47Look how Shawn Michaels has dictated the pace of this match.
27:51Are you hearing me?
27:52You talking to me?
27:53Oh, forget it.
27:54Yes!
27:55Yes!
27:56Yes!
27:575-6-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-9-8-8-8-8-8-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-9-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-9-8-8.
28:15Oh, nice uppercut there.
28:16Look out!
28:17Wow!
28:18I think Shawn's getting a little disturbed about the Champ Marty.
28:20I'll tell you, when they collide, when Marty Jannitti gets in there against Shawn Michaels,
28:23to one of the greatest matches you'll ever see.
28:25Oh! Sleepy by Bronzel!
28:27I think he's choking.
28:29Right in the saw! Nice move.
28:31But it won't last long.
28:33What a nice counter move
28:35by the champion.
28:37Bronzel better not put a mark
28:39on that handsome face.
28:41That'll really make Michaels hot.
28:43Oh, look at this small package!
28:45Oh, he only got a two count.
28:47You know, what are you talking about,
28:49Brain? Do you think that Giannetti is that
28:51much more superior
28:53that the match wouldn't last long?
28:55No, no, no!
28:57I'm trying to imply to you
28:59and get across to you is
29:01he could take... it wouldn't last 30 seconds!
29:03Shawn Michaels would beat him so bad.
29:05Shawn Michaels!
29:07Oh, look at this!
29:09Bronzel exploding!
29:11He just rang the bell at a champion!
29:13Sends him in for the ride!
29:15There's the dropkick!
29:17And a beauty!
29:19No, no, no!
29:21No, no, no!
29:23He's a half a second away
29:25from winning this match, but not the title.
29:29I think Shawn is getting an education here.
29:32Duck underneath it all!
29:33Look at that!
29:34Turn around!
29:35Right into that thrust kick!
29:37He got it!
29:38Who got the education now?
29:40Hey, go look!
29:41Marty Giannetti!
29:42That could be you flat on your back!
29:44And it will be!
29:48Shawn Michaels!
29:52Ooh!
29:53Never been a superstar with such a pretty face!
29:56Mark down another win for Mr. Shawn Michaels.
29:59Now, there's big news concerning Shawn Michaels,
30:01and George and I heard about it through...
30:03The Grapevine.
30:04The Grapevine!
30:05The Grapevine!
30:06Very good, George!
30:07Pay the man his $100!
30:09Through the Grapevine,
30:10we hear that Shawn Michaels is gonna be going at it
30:13two weeks from tomorrow
30:15with his former tag team partner, Marty Giannetti.
30:18That's the Royal Rumble on pay-per-view
30:21two weeks from tomorrow.
30:22Now, there's kind of a twist in this match.
30:24I want you to watch the WWF Network later in the week,
30:27and we'll tell you all about it.
30:28Right now, I'm going to commercial!
30:30Follow me fast, because I'm out of time!
30:35My name is Todd Pettengill.
30:36At the top of the show, I promised an exclusive.
30:39And here it comes.
30:40Ray Rougeau caught up with Owen Hart,
30:42the little brother of WWF champ,
30:45Bret the Hitman Hart.
30:48From the locker room area,
30:49I'm here with the Rocket, Owen Hart.
30:51Owen, things are really going your way these days, aren't they?
30:54That's right, you know, Raymond.
30:551992 has been a great year for High Energy
30:57and Coco Beware and myself,
30:58and I think 1993 is gonna be a lot of fun,
31:00and I hope for a lot more success in the future.
31:02Very good.
31:03It's a known fact that the WWF champion,
31:05Bret the Hitman Hart, is your brother.
31:07But you must be concerned that,
31:09at the pace that he is going,
31:11he will burn himself out.
31:12Well, that is true, Raymond.
31:14Bret is working at a very hard pace,
31:15but he is WWF champion,
31:17and I think that's expected of him.
31:19Just like myself,
31:20we always try to give 100%
31:21and be the best we can be.
31:23Owen, I have to ask you this.
31:25I heard that when you were a youngster
31:27that your father used to take you downstairs
31:29to the basement,
31:30which you referred to as the dungeon,
31:32and that's where you learned how to wrestle.
31:33Is that true?
31:34That is true.
31:35There's eight boys in my family,
31:36and my father always wanted a wrestling background
31:37and all of his sons,
31:38so he'd get us down the basement,
31:40and sometimes I'd wrestle Bret,
31:41sometimes it was another brother,
31:43as long as I didn't have to get my dad,
31:44because he was the best wrestler around,
31:46and I sure didn't want to get in there with him.
31:48Obviously, your father was a big influence on you
31:51and on Bret.
31:54Hey, Rocket.
31:55Your daddy teach you that one, man?
31:57Oh!
31:58Oh!
31:59All right?
32:04All right?
32:05Nothing up here?
32:06Your daddy teach you that one, man?
32:08Oh!
32:09Hey, Rocket.
32:10You tell your big brother, man,
32:12the WWF champion?
32:15Oh, man.
32:16You tell him Razor stay?
32:19Peace is next.
32:31Phew, man. Razor.
32:33You want to send a message to the Hitman,
32:35I guess that's one way to do it.
32:37We caught up with Razor Ramon this week.
32:38Check this out.
32:40Oh, Hitman.
32:42Razor understands you a little upset,
32:45because I slapped your little brother around.
32:48Huh.
32:49It's personal now, Chico.
32:52Yo, Bret Hart, at the rumble, Chico, you're next.
33:02Let me tell you something, Razor Ramon.
33:05This won't be the first time that I'll have to pound out some buoy
33:08for picking on one of my little brothers.
33:10But let me explain something to you, Chico.
33:13When you step in the ring with me,
33:15the excellence of execution in the Royal Rumble,
33:17I'm gonna show you that I'm not just a good wrestler,
33:20that I'm a tough fighter,
33:21and I'm gonna pound the daylights out of you.
33:23Here we go with your Royal Rumble report,
33:36brought to you by IcoPro.
33:38Get it together with the integrated conditioning program.
33:41IcoPro.
33:42You've gotta want it.
33:44Ladies and gentlemen, two weeks from tomorrow afternoon
33:47at 4 p.m. Eastern Time,
33:49from Sacramento, California, live.
33:52It's the 1993 Royal Rumble.
33:55There aren't a whole lot of seats available at Ico Arena.
33:58However, the good news is, you can see it live,
34:02as it happens exclusively on pay-per-view cable TV.
34:06What a Royal Rumble it's gonna be, starting with two men.
34:10Add another man every two minutes thereafter,
34:12until all 30 superstars have entered this extraordinary competition.
34:17Remember, it's every man for himself.
34:19The only way you can be eliminated
34:21is to be thrown up over the top rope,
34:23out onto the arena floor.
34:25And this year's Royal Rumble carries even more prestige with it.
34:29The winner to meet the World Wrestling Federation Champion
34:32at WrestleMania IX in Las Vegas, Nevada at Caesars Palace.
34:35Here, then, are a list of some of the great superstars
34:40you're gonna be seeing in this year's Royal Rumble.
34:43The Undertaker.

34:54From Puerto Rico, Carlos Colon.
34:58Another former World Wrestling Federation Champion, Bob Backlund.
35:02500-pound-plus, Yokozuna.
35:05And this gentleman, the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
35:10Two weeks away from the Royal Rumble.
35:13Ooh, yeah!
35:15I'm ready.
35:16Two weeks away, but I'm holding up the number three.
35:19Because I'm gonna be a three-time World Wrestling Federation Champion.
35:22But before I can do that, I gotta win the Royal Rumble
35:25because the winner of the Royal Rumble
35:27goes on to Las Vegas at WrestleMania
35:29and takes on the WWF Champion.
35:31Yeah!
35:32Yeah!
35:33And that's gonna be me.
35:34Going to the Royal Rumble.
35:35And I'm going there for one reason.
35:37And that's to win it!
35:38Dig it!
35:41Virgil.
35:42Rick the model Martel.
35:44From the Natural Disasters.
35:46Earthquake.
35:47And this man, Mr. Perfect.
35:50Talking about having a good time.
35:52Talking about a smile on the face of Mr. Perfect.
35:55No, it doesn't look out of place.
35:57Because the Royal Rumble is here.
35:59An opportunity for Mr. Perfect.
36:02A guy who has no problems with anything
36:05because everything in my life is perfect.
36:08And all the great athletes that enter the Royal Rumble,
36:11no matter how big and how strong and how powerful
36:14and how smart you are.
36:16One thing you're not.
36:17And that's perfect.
36:21Those are just some of the superstars
36:23that are gonna be part of the tremendous 30-man Royal Rumble.
36:27Plus a gigantic main event
36:29and a host of other tremendous matches.
36:31By the way, folks, you can't get a better ringside seat
36:33than you can in your very own living room.
36:36Two weeks from tomorrow afternoon
36:38at 4 p.m. Eastern Time.
36:40Contact the cable company you're watching right now.
36:43And then get ready.
36:45Sunday the 24th from Sacramento at 4 Eastern Time.
36:48The 1993 Royal Rumble.
36:53You won't see it on TBS.
36:56Every Monday night on USA.
37:00Experience Real Wrestling Federation action live
37:03from the Manhattan Center in New York City.
37:06It's RAW.
37:07WWF Monday Night RAW.
37:09On the uncensored and uncooked.
37:12Uncooked.
37:13Yeah, it's RAW.
37:15Monday nights on USA.
37:17Oh, yeah!
37:19Damn it!
37:20It's not Monday Night Medium.
37:23It's not Monday Night Rare.
37:25It is Monday Night RAW.
37:27And it's totally live.
37:29One of the matches you will see,
37:31The Undertaker against Damien Demento.
37:35Now, last week on WWF Superstars,
37:38Mr. Perfect gets into it with the Berserker.
37:41You probably saw him last week.
37:44Wade Boggs, six-time American League batting champion.
37:51And now, current New York Yankee was really impressed
37:56with the perfect swing of Mr. Perfect.
37:59And one of the balls he hit just came down
38:01just about 30 seconds ago.
38:03Oh, yeah, yeah.
38:04Well, he's real good at hitting balls and throwing balls.
38:06I understand he's pretty good at throwing knives, too.
38:08He threw a big knife right in the back of his best friend,
38:11Bobby Heenan.
38:12It was a good shot.
38:13He's a backstabber.
38:14Well, I'm sure Ric Flair and Razor Ramon
38:17would agree with those comments, indeed.
38:19But nonetheless, Mr. Perfect is his own man.
38:22This will be most interesting to see what happens
38:25when you take a brawler like Berserker
38:27and put him in the ring with a man
38:29who has highly-tuned technical skills like Mr. Perfect.
38:33Mr. Perfect is no stranger to brawling, either.
38:36That's true.
38:37You know, this could be a good little preview
38:39of what to expect at Royal Rumble.
38:41We see who comes out on top here in this match.
38:43And exchange right away here, and...
38:45Uh-oh.
38:46Where she stops, nobody knows.
38:49Off the road, Mr. Perfect ducking the big ball
38:52and ducking the close line, and right on.
38:55Kaga with a drop.
38:56Whoa!
38:57Look at that!
38:58Mr. Perfect alone in the ring!
39:01Oh, I just...
39:02Back check!
39:03I guess you'd think that was a perfect drop kick, too, huh?
39:06No question about it!
39:08Berserker rolling back in.
39:11No telling what this man's gonna do.
39:14Oh!
39:15Look at that.
39:16Very unorthodox.
39:17Lunge with his head.
39:19Berserker hammering away.
39:22Berserker, forearm smash.
39:24Berserker with Mr. Perfect in a bit of trouble now.
39:27And look at that!
39:28Way to the buckle!
39:29Mm-hm.
39:30Big handful of that perfect hair there.
39:32Ooh!
39:33The Berserker's got raw power, there's no doubt about that.
39:36For sure, reversal by Perfect Perfect.
39:38Moving in but missing!
39:39Grabbing his shoulder right into the ring post!
39:42A friend is hurt right there!
39:44That's an iron ring post!
39:46Uh-oh, wait a minute!
39:47Oh, come on!
39:48Hey, come on!
39:49Whoa!
39:50I can't!
39:51Look at that!
39:52I can't believe that idiot would try something like that!
39:56Talk about throwing knives, King!
39:58We could have seen a great little decapitation!
40:01That would have been wonderful!
40:03Jack Tiny, president of the WWF, I'm sure, is gonna have something to say about that!
40:07If not Sergeant Slaughter!
40:09There's no room for those kinds of actions in the WWF!
40:13And I would think, psychologically, that really has Mr. Perfect shook!
40:18Off the rope!
40:19Oh, look at this!
40:20Over the top to the out!
40:22It's a long way down for a big man!
40:25Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
40:26Watch this!
40:27Ric Flair!
40:28Ric Flair is coming to ringside!
40:31He has no business there!
40:33He may be the real Mr. Perfect!
40:35Look at him!
40:36Ric Flair calling out Mr. Perfect!
40:43Wait a minute, coming up from behind now!
40:46Keep your eye on Berserker!
40:48Turn around, Perfect!
40:51Here comes Berserker!
40:54And Perfect with a knee lift!
40:57Ric Flair has done his damage!
40:59Here we go!
41:00Here we go!
41:01The rumble's gonna happen now!
41:02Not three weeks from now!
41:03Wait a minute!
41:04Perfect!
41:05As Flair is dying again!
41:06Berserker hammering away!
41:07The Perfect's a fighter!
41:08There's no doubt about that!
41:09He's still got his attention on Ric Flair!
41:10Yeah, but it's like the rumble is being hit by all sides!
41:12Look at this!
41:13Get that man out of here!
41:14He has no business being here!
41:16Perfect better pay attention to what's going on in the ring and forget about Ric Flair!
41:31You're right about it because I don't think Ric Flair wants to beat him!
41:34He!
41:35Oh my goodness!
41:36That hurt him!
41:37That hurt him!
41:39Berserker nailing Mr. Perfect Ric Flair!
41:42We'll be right back with more WWF action!
41:46Get him out of there!
41:47The official has just returned after escorting Ric Flair back to the locker room!
41:51The action continues here!
41:53And Mr. Perfect was indeed hurt over that last exchange!
41:56There's gonna be a real gut check for Mr. Perfect and just a little fortitude!
42:00I'm talking Courage King for Mr. Perfect!
42:02I'm talking if you get right down to it!
42:04He should have already been counted out!
42:06The ring was gone!
42:07Taking Ric Flair back!
42:08And that may do it!
42:09That's it!
42:10No!
42:11He's up!
42:12He's up!
42:13No!
42:14Mr. Perfect barely getting that right shoulder up off the mat!
42:19Berserker persistent as ever!
42:23A whip to the ropes off and it back!
42:25No!
42:26Wait a minute!
42:27It's the perfect leg!
42:28Unbelievable!
42:29The perfect flexion!
42:30I like it!
42:32There it is!
42:34Oh, there it is!
42:36Oh, there it is!
42:38Oh, there it is!
42:39The perfect flex upon the big man Berserker!
42:43Oh, yeah!
42:45Mr. Perfect just beat a top man in Mr. Berserker, Mr. King!
42:51Yeah, he did!
42:52But his big ego will be his downfall!
42:55Look at him!
42:56He thinks he's great!
42:57Look at the replay right here!
42:59Right in the midst of adversity!
43:01Mr. Perfect!
43:02Hooks the perfect flex!
43:04Unbelievable!
43:05On his toes!
43:06In a three-count dig it!
43:08Yeah, you're right!
43:09It's perfect!
43:10To the Update we go!
43:12From inside the pages of the WWF Magazine, here's Update!
43:18Update brought to you by IcoPro!
43:21The integrated conditioning programs!
43:24IcoPro takes this opportunity to wish you a happy, healthy 1993!
43:30You know, over the years we've all become accustomed to Bobby Heenan's rhetoric.
43:34Some of it totally useless.
43:36On the other hand, some of that rhetoric with great merit.
43:40Right now, let's hear from the man known as the Brain.
43:44You know something, Mr. Perfect?
43:48You've got a pretty high opinion of yourself.
43:51You think you are the perfect athlete?
43:54The perfect wrestler?
43:56Well, after Ric Flair gets finished with you,
44:00you are going to be flawed, scarred, and tarnished.
44:08Which is why I will unveil to you, Mr. Perfect,
44:12and to all the humanoids throughout the world at the Royal Rumble,
44:17someone who is beyond perfect.
44:21Someone who not only has a high opinion of himself,
44:25but is justifiably, truly in love with himself.
44:31And then, Mr. Perfect, when you feast your eyes on the person that I will unveil at the Royal Rumble,
44:40you will look back and say,
44:42Why, I wasn't perfect at all!
44:45I didn't really measure up!
44:47I was really nothing without the influence of Bobby the Brain!
44:52If only I could look like Narcissus!
44:57That's right!
44:58All you ham and eggers at the Royal Rumble,
45:00the drape will drop!
45:02And so will the mouths of every man, woman, and child,
45:06when you feast your eyes on Narcissus!
45:11While listening to those comments from Bobby the Brain Heenan,
45:15I asked our producer for the dictionary.
45:18And here's what Noah Webster has to say about the definition of Narcissus.
45:25A conceited, self-centered person,
45:28thinking too highly of oneself,
45:32and duly preoccupied with one's own appearance.
45:38Well, if this individual is everything that Bobby the Brain Heenan says he is,
45:43then I, for one, cannot wait till the Royal Rumble to see Narcissus.
45:49As we say here on the World Wrestling Federation,
45:52folks, stay tuned.
45:54With Update, I'm Gene Okerlund.
45:57Gino, what's the deal with the Brain? Has he lost his...?
46:01Narcissus! He will be unveiled!
46:04You think the guy likes himself? He's in love with himself.
46:07I guess we'll all see him.
46:08Two weeks from tomorrow at the Royal Rumble.
46:10We're out of time.
46:11Next week, we're going to catch up with the clown.
46:14Once again, wreaking havoc all over the WWF.
46:17And Kamala.
46:19Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
46:21The Ugandan Giant.
46:23My name is Todd Pettengill.
46:25This is WWF Mania.
46:27Until next week, here on USA at 10 a.m.
46:31Good night, George, wherever you are.
46:34Hello, little Dorothy Hamble Camel.
46:39Hello, little Dorothy Hamble Camel.
46:42Hello, little Dorothy Hamble Camel.
46:44Hello, little Dorothy Hamble Camel.
46:46Hello, little Dorothy Hamble Camel.
