00:07KONIEC
00:30Welcome to WrestleMania weekend.
00:32Welcome to WWF Superstars.
00:34And welcome to our 500th edition.
00:37Ladies and gentlemen, it may take us 500 more episodes to get over what we're gonna see here this week.
00:42We're gonna take you to the side of the Academy Awards for a special Marley in the Film starring Goldust.
00:47That's Goldust and Roddy Roddy Piper.
00:49Prepare to meet the Sunday at WrestleMania in the first ever Hollywood Backlot Brawl.
00:53What about tag team action?
00:55Well, we're gonna find out who's gonna face the body don't us in the finals of the World Wrestling Federation
00:59tag.
01:00That'll be on the free for all right before WrestleMania.
01:02Will it be the Godwin's or will it be the brother-in-law's?
01:05The British Bulldog and Owen Hart.
01:06Well, speaking of tag team action, not long ago, as a matter of fact, just here.
01:09Last week, Savio Vega teaming up with a rather unusual tag team partner by the name of Stone Cold Steve
01:14Austin.
01:16And as a result of that, things didn't work out too well for Savio Vega.
01:20Look at him reaching for the tag.
01:21Look at that. Stone Cold Steve Austin, nowhere to be found.
01:24Look at that.
01:24And it was right here that Savio Vega had the tag team match long.
01:27Whoa!
01:28But his own tag team partner, Stone Cold Steve Austin, coming off the top,
01:32costing Savio Vega the opportunity to wrestle for the WWF tag titles.
01:36And of course, Savio will meet that same individual.
01:39Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania as Ted DiBiase's Native American,
01:43Tataka, going to work on Savio.
01:45You can bet Ted DiBiase has a few words of wisdom for Tataka,
01:49much as he has, obviously, for Steve Austin.
01:52But what makes Savio Vega think he's gonna get by Tataka here this week, McMahon?
01:56I don't know that Savio thinks that a hard right hand succession of him now.
01:59Savio Vega backing up Tataka.
02:01What a chop.
02:03Look at that again.
02:04Savio Vega going to work on Tataka.
02:07And you can bet Stone Cold Steve Austin is watching every moment of this match.
02:11Yes, we'll see him in action later.
02:13And Vega in control of Ted DiBiase's Tataka.
02:17I think Vega thinks he's in there right now with Steve Austin.
02:21A million dollar champion indeed.
02:22Stone Cold Steve Austin.
02:25He impressed thus far with Vega.
02:27Absolutely, Savio Vega has impressed me on many occasions.
02:30I'll tell you something.
02:31Uh-oh.
02:32He telegraphed that.
02:33Should have lowered his head there.
02:35And yeah, Savio Vega paying the price for making the mistake, and that's exactly what it could come down to,
02:40ladies and gentlemen.
02:40At WrestleMania, Savio Vega one-on-one with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
02:45Whoever makes that first mistake could very well lose the matchup.
02:49And I don't see Steve Austin making too many mistakes.
02:51Like I said in the past, this guy's close enough to perfect for me.
02:55He is indeed.
02:56And Tataka right now is all over Savio Vega.
03:00The Native American Tataka obviously is taking Ted DiBiase's advice to soften up, if not defeat Vega.
03:06Putting on a downward spiral just prior to WrestleMania.
03:10It's this weekend, ladies and gentlemen.
03:13WrestleMania weekend.
03:14We've got the softball game.
03:16We've got the Slammys.
03:17My goodness.
03:18And of course, WrestleMania.
03:20And we've got an upset.
03:21No, we don't either.
03:22Close.
03:23Tataka hooking the near leg may have made a mistake right there, but this has been a rugged match.
03:27And I guarantee you, this Sunday at WrestleMania on pay per view, it will be rugged and intense when that
03:33man,
03:33Savio Vega, goes face to face with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
03:37He's full of fire.
03:38Look at the return on the face of Ted DiBiase.
03:40His million dollar champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin, whom we will see in action later on,
03:44will face the same Savio Vega.
03:46Vega now with an uphill battle coming up.
03:48Now look at this.
03:49One, two, he gets-
03:51One, two, one, two.
03:54Tataka coming to his hard right hand again.
03:56Succession of him.
03:57Tataka set up for the ride.
03:59Coming off now and down.
04:01Side box slam the cover.
04:03It's not enough to put him away.
04:05You can't cover Tataka like that and beat him.
04:08An anxious moment or two for Ted DiBiase.
04:11And obviously, the Million Dollar Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin watching every moment of this match.
04:16He got it.
04:17He caught him there.
04:18She caught him.
04:19She caught him.
04:23And I don't care who you are.
04:25You're Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
04:26You could be knocked Stone Cold if that boot hits you in the jaw just like Savio nailed Tataka.
04:33Well, folks, it's time to taste the rainbow.
04:35Let's go back and take a look at the Skittles replay.
04:38What a spinning heel kick right here.
04:41Boom.
04:42And that's exactly what could happen to Stone Cold this Sunday at WrestleMania 12.
04:46Speaking of WrestleMania, take a look.
04:49He was faster than a cheetah.
04:53Stronger than a grizzly.
04:55More terrifying than a great white shark.
04:59And just when they thought it was safe to go back into the ring.
05:19And you think you're not guilty?
05:23Well, you are.
05:25Guilty for the ugliness that exists in mankind.
05:30For the disfigurement that exists in mankind.
05:34And you want to sit there in your perfect homes with your perfect families and pretend you're not involved.
05:42Oh, it wasn't me.
05:43It was someone else.
05:44It wasn't me.
05:44It was someone else.
05:45And now you want to be my friend.
05:48Would you?
05:49Well, it's too late.
05:51Because I'm coming.
05:55Maybe they'll be first.
05:59And they never even knew I was here.
06:07Unbelievable.
06:08And imagine if you would.
06:10Allegedly, this man is to make his WWF wrestling debut this Monday night on Raw.
06:17Mankind.
06:18That's a little tough to think about when you consider that this Monday night's Raw is gonna be live and
06:23anything is apt to happen.
06:25Live from San Bernardino, California, out on the west coast, ladies and gentlemen, the day after WrestleMania.
06:30And here we go now.
06:31You talk about a rugged competitor, and this man is really making a name for himself, Justin Hogg Ratshaw.
06:36He's big, he's mean, and he doesn't like anybody.
06:39No, he doesn't.
06:40Except maybe Zeb Akai, not too sure about that.
06:42Look at that branding iron, old Zeb brings it around.
06:44And that, of course, has the Bradshaw brand on it, the family brand there.
06:49There you see it.
06:51Yeah, talk about a tattoo.
06:52That's one you don't wanna go home and show mom.
06:55Justin Hogg Ratshaw, ready for action.
06:58And by the way, is this true?
07:00Justin Hogg Ratshaw one-on-one this Monday night with The Undertaker?
07:05My goodness, what a matchup that's likely to be.
07:07Assuming The Undertaker survives, WrestleMania survives the matchup.
07:11Well advantage could go to Bradshaw McMahon.
07:13Beg your pardon?
07:14Coming off WrestleMania, the advantage could be for Bradshaw.
07:16No question about it.
07:17Big Daddy Cool with big plans for The Undertaker.
07:20And Justin Hogg Bradshaw would plan for the upset kid, if you would like to call him.
07:25Nice take down there on the part of Barry Horowitz.
07:29You know for Barry to win this match, he's gotta use some skill, leverage, and his quickness.
07:33Horowitz is a very sound competitor on the mat, as we're seeing right here.
07:37Yeah, and Quarrett, if he does win this, let's go ahead and hear it.
07:41Horowitz wins?
07:42Yes.
07:42You wanna hear that now?
07:43Yeah, absolutely.
07:44No, I don't need to hear that.
07:45Let's watch a match.
07:46I don't wanna hear it.
07:47And Fireman Carey take down, nicely done.
07:49Justin Hogg, Bradshaw.
07:51The sound fundamentals, as well as the Rompom, Rompom, Texas style.
07:56We had an occasion earlier on to chat with Justin Hogg Bradshaw, as well as his manager.
08:01A lot of people have asked me the purpose of this Brandon Iron, well, I'm right here.
08:05I'll tell you why I brand people, I brand people because I can.
08:08I ain't content to beat a man, I wanna own him.
08:11There's gonna be a lot of carcasses in the WWF with my brand stuck on him before I'm through.
08:17Welcome to the Bradshaw Ranch.
08:21Wow.
08:22That doesn't sound like a very hospitable place to me.
08:24No, sir.
08:25Certainly not no dude ranch.
08:27Definitely not a dude ranch.
08:28Justin Hogg Bradshaw in control at the moment against Barry Horowitz.
08:31I would suggest we're likely to see a great deal more of Justin Hogg Bradshaw in the weeks.
08:37We'll get to the midsection.
08:38Horowitz with a forearm and another one.
08:40Barry Horowitz now going upstairs.
08:42Not too likely to have the success upstairs as he went downstairs on the mat.
08:46And look at this, you don't want to get to the slugfest with Justin Hogg Bradshaw.
08:49Yeah, it makes no sense at all.
08:50Horowitz has got to use his leverage as we mentioned earlier.
08:53Take this big man off his feet, which is a little bit easier said than done.
08:57I think he's just playing with Horowitz right now.
08:59I think you can put him away at any time.
09:01Aha, what about ladies and gentlemen, the Iron Man matchup.
09:04You talk about athleticism.
09:05This will, of course, be the greatest single athletic event in World Wrestling Federation history.
09:10And that's saying something.
09:12Shawn Michaels against Bret the Hitman Hart for the WWF Championship.
09:16Of course, at WrestleMania on pay per view.
09:19It does not get any better than that.
09:22We certainly encourage everyone to call your cable company because you're gonna see
09:25almost three hours of scintillating sports entertainment.
09:30Certainly you're gonna get what you pay for.
09:31No bait and switch here this Sunday at WrestleMania on pay per view.
09:36And I would suggest that we're not gonna have anyone complaining about a $30 million
09:40payoff either.
09:44My goodness.
09:45And Justin Hogg Bradshaw,
09:46hammering around the back of Barry Horowitz, who is all Hart.
09:51I mean, he gives it his all.
09:52Well, I think this is exactly the strategy you're gonna see from Bret Hart.
09:55I think Bret Hart's gonna take it right to Shawn Michaels.
09:57Bret's gonna keep it on the mat.
09:58And he's gonna punish Shawn Michaels legs like Michaels has never been punished
10:02before this Sunday.
10:03And I'm gonna take exception to that remark.
10:05And I'm gonna predict that it's gonna be Shawn Michaels who's dishing out the
10:08punishment, not Bret the Hitman Hart.
10:10I think Michaels is primed for this event as he's never been primed before.
10:14For a WWF title, look at that.
10:15Yes, dropkick nicely done.
10:17Come on.
10:17Jackson Hogg Bradshaw is right.
10:19No, he's still up on his feet.
10:21Barry Horowitz coming up to Ruff underneath.
10:23Horowitz with another dropkick and down on Bradshaw.
10:26All right Barry, go ahead.
10:29Horowitz had to expend a lot of energy to get Bradshaw down just one time.
10:33That's all right, he got him.
10:34Sidestep there.
10:35He waited too long.
10:36And Bradshaw back in control.
10:39Hunter Hearst, Elmsley, of course, ladies and gentlemen, to face the Ultimate Warrior.
10:44And a lot of speculation.
10:46My goodness, what a lariat.
10:48A cover, a count.
10:50And a victory for Justin Hunt Bradshaw.
10:53I guess Bradshaw just made everybody in Roscoe, Texas, awfully proud.
10:58What will he be able to do this Monday live on Raw against The Undertaker?
11:04I don't know, but there you see.
11:06I don't know if The Undertaker's gonna be branded or not.
11:08Barry Horowitz just got branded all right.
11:10As we take you down, ladies and gentlemen, to the WWF Slam Jam.
11:17WrestleMania 12 Slam Jam is brought to you by Tyco RC Maximum Heat.
11:22Makers of the hottest radio control vehicles available today.
11:27Yeah!
11:28Hello, and welcome to WWF Slam Jam.
11:31And yes, the wait is over.
11:32It's finally here.
11:33The bomb, the granddaddy of them all.
11:35WrestleMania 12 happens exclusively live on pay-per-view.
11:397 Eastern, 4 Pacific, this Sunday from the sold out Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim.
11:44And don't forget that WrestleMania 12 and WrestleMania 12 weekend are brought to you by Tyco RC Maximum Heat.
11:49And the heat will be on in what should be the greatest WWF title match of all time.
11:53The WWF Iron Man match guaranteed to go an hour.
11:56Shawn Michaels challenges Bret Hart.
11:58We'll see their final training preparations a little bit later on.
12:01We'll check out what happened on Monday Night Raw.
12:03But this match here will not go an hour.
12:05Big Daddy Cool against The Undertaker.
12:07It's been brewing for weeks and weeks.
12:09It comes to a head this Sunday at WrestleMania 12.
12:12Let's talk to both participants.
12:14This Sunday night, a battle of epic proportions.
12:20Big Daddy Cool.
12:22The Dead Man.
12:24The Undertaker.
12:26Big Daddy Cool knows no fear.
12:30Oh, yes, with the crematorium fired up in the back.
12:36All the final preparations have been made for you, Diesel.
12:41This Sunday, WrestleMania 12, it's over.
12:46Diesel, do you wake in the middle of the night to the sounds of faint voices?
12:55Those are the voices of the superstars that have been laid to rest by the hand of The Undertaker.
13:03They're growing anxious.
13:06They're ready for you to join them.
13:09At WrestleMania, when it's all said and done, you will know it's your own fault.
13:17And now your soul must pay the ultimate price.
13:24Life in darkness.
13:28What a match that's going to be and something just does not seem right to me.
13:32I mean, if I was Diesel and I saw my own corpse in a casket, I'm out of here, pal.
13:38I'm gone.
13:38But he doesn't seem to be afraid.
13:40Makes me believe that Diesel is going to unveil some wicked, horrific plan at WrestleMania 12.
13:48Still to come on Superstars.
13:51A berth in the finals is at stake when the Godwins meet Owen and the Bulldog in the Tag Team
13:56Tournament.
13:57And next, the man who will face Savio Vega at WrestleMania, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
14:05We're back with more WWE Factions.
14:07Look at those eyes, would you?
14:08Whoa.
14:10Stone Cold Steve Austin with a million dollar championship belt draped over his right shoulder.
14:16This man is a consummate athlete, no question about it.
14:19The pride and joy of the million dollar man Ted DiBiase, whom we saw earlier on with Tatanka.
14:25You know, I think that Stone Cold Steve Austin is the finest athlete to come into the WWF in many,
14:31many years.
14:31His million dollar dream, his absolute perfection, excuse the pun, perfect.
14:36Yeah, right.
14:36But I really believe that he and Savio are gonna have a knock down drag out this Sunday at WrestleMania.
14:42No doubt about it.
14:43You know what I like about this Steve Austin, look at him.
14:46No fancy robes, no fancy entrance, no nothing.
14:49The guy came to wrestle, get the job done, and that's exactly what he does.
14:52Now wait just a minute, please, not fancy.
14:55You talk about a championship belt, did you see all those diamonds and all that sparkling stuff going on?
15:00It doesn't get any fancier than that.
15:02Yeah.
15:03All right, locking up now, Stone Cold Steve Austin, double leg takedown.
15:06Nicely done there by Ben Greer.
15:08And Greer's in there against a consummate professional.
15:11A man who wants to make a name for himself and has done just that in a short period of
15:15time here in the WWE.
15:16Look at how aggressive Austin is.
15:18I like this style, McMahon.
15:19Yeah, I think everyone does except Ben Greer right now.
15:23You can bet Savio Vega is watching every second of this match,
15:26just as those Stone Cold Steve Austin did earlier on.
15:29I'm sure the Million Dollar Man's a little bit disappointed with Tatanka
15:33because Tatanka really didn't make a dent in the repertoire of Savio Vega here earlier this week.
15:39Well, he won't be disappointed in Steve Austin, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
15:43He will not let DiBiase down.
15:45And Ted DiBiase has a million reasons to get behind this man, that's for sure.
15:51Stone Cold Steve Austin, the only man whom DiBiase himself has designated as being worthy,
15:57after searching for years and years to be known as the Million Dollar Champion.
16:01And I believe he's got the right man.
16:03Austin's got a very unique style these days.
16:05He doesn't take many chances.
16:07He keeps everything very, very basic.
16:09Yep.
16:10No wasted motion as we have used to refer to Austin on other occasions.
16:14This guy is a consummate professional.
16:16Ben Greer against Stone Cold Steve Austin.
16:19Come on, when you're in control of the match, there's no reason for that.
16:22The official should disqualify Stone Cold Steve Austin right there on the spot.
16:26I disagree with you, that wasn't intentional what he did.
16:29What?
16:29He was just trying to wake the guy up before he puts him to sleep.
16:32Wait a minute, that's exactly what he's trying to do right now, Ben Greer.
16:35On the receiving end of the Million Dollar Dream, Stone Cold Steve Austin,
16:39cinching in the Million Dollar Dream.
16:41And Ben Greer, unfortunately, is going to be embarrassed.
16:46Greer is going nighty-night.
16:48And look at the pressure, Stone Cold Steve Austin applies.
16:51Once he has that hold cinched in, nobody's gonna get out of it.
16:56McMahon, have you ever looked at the hands and the forearms on Stone Cold Steve Austin?
16:59You're gonna know the strength this man has and the power in his forearms and wrists.
17:03Let go of him.
17:05Yeah, look at this.
17:06Come on.
17:07That's a reason right there, that's another reason to disqualify.
17:10Stone Cold Steve Austin.
17:10It's a dangerous situation that Greer's in right here.
17:15Left on too long, ladies and gentlemen.
17:18That'll cut too much into blood, cut too much into circulation off to the brain.
17:21That can result in some degree of damage.
17:23Wait a minute, here comes Sabio Vega.
17:26Just as he did several weeks ago, Sabio Vega coming down here.
17:29They're trying to get Stone Cold Steve Austin off of Ben Greer and Vega.
17:33Come on.
17:33That breaks it up.
17:34That's one way of getting the hold broken.
17:35Look at this, look at Vega go.
17:36Look at Vega go.
17:38Go get him, get him, get him.
17:39No.
17:39Go get him is right.
17:40He got him.
17:41Yeah, from behind, look what he did.
17:42He had no business coming in on him anyway.
17:45No, look at this.
17:46No, Vega now.
17:48Vega's on the receiving end of the Million Dollar Dream.
17:52Look at this.
17:53Even before their match at WrestleMania, Vega trying to fight it.
17:57Vega going down.
18:00Stone Cold Steve Austin really has the dream,
18:03the Million Dollar Dream since then.
18:05Austin's like a rabid dog here.
18:09Look at this.
18:11Here come officials that help out.
18:16And Sabio Vega now knows what it's like to be on the receiving end of the Million Dollar Dream.
18:23Will that be a harbinger of what's gonna happen at WrestleMania when they clash once again?
18:30It's gonna happen this Sunday exclusively on Pay Per View.
18:35Look at that man's eyes.
18:36Next on Superstar, an inside look at how Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels are training for this Sunday's Iron Man
18:44title match.
18:47I'm gonna do whatever it takes to win.
18:52Welcome back, everyone.
18:53This week, WWF Superstars is brought to you by Burger King, where you can get your burgers worked.
19:00And by Starburst Fruit Chews.
19:01Take a bite, turn up the juice, and enjoy the rind.
19:04All right, the single greatest athletic event in WWF history will be, of course, the Iron Man matchup for the
19:09World Wrestling Federation title.
19:11Let's take a look now at this exclusive training footage involving the two principals, Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart.
19:16Eleven years ago, Shawn Michaels' quest to become the WWF champion began right here in this old San Antonio sweat
19:24box of a gym under the watchful eye of Mexican legend, Super Sock, Jose Lothario.
19:31Okay, give me five more, five more.
19:34To realize his dream, Shawn Michaels will face the fight of his life this Sunday night at WrestleMania 12.
19:46To become champion, he'll have to take his game to the next level.
19:51A level that few superstars have ever experienced.
19:57Shawn Michaels knows that the greatest match of his life must come this Sunday night.
20:05Yes!
20:07If his training regimen is any indication, Shawn Michaels and Super Sock are ready.
20:13I'm not gonna bring you all the way out to Anaheim, California, unless you get to see a new World
20:17Wrestling Federation champion.
20:18It better be true.
20:19It'll happen.
20:20It better be true.
20:21I give you my word.
20:22Okay.
20:23I hope you're right.
20:24All right.
20:25Appreciate it.
20:26For Shawn, the preparations for the Iron Man match are behind him.
20:30And the challenge awaits this Sunday night.
20:34Since the age of 12, it has possessed him, haunted him, made him what he is today.
20:41The young child, now a man, still consumed by the undying dream.
20:47Day after day, week after week, year after endless year.
20:54In the Iron Man match, one unforgettable hour will define a lifetime of yearning.
21:01What becomes of the man when he finally fulfills his dream?
21:06What becomes of the boy if he doesn't?
21:15Sweat, desire, perseverance, it all paid off.
21:21The belt is testament to them.
21:24But the passion lingers.
21:27It must.
21:29For his champion, he is beloved, immortalized, larger than life.
21:35But one day, the memories will become greater than the dreams.
21:41After one arduous hour in the Iron Man match, will we still revere him?
21:48Cheer him?
21:49Call him champion?
21:51Or will he become mortal like us?
21:57The WWF champion is recognized as the king of the jungle.
22:02But as king, he is in reality, the prey.
22:05And every challenger, the predator.
22:07This is his big moment.
22:08This is his chance to steal it all, you know, to be the world champion.
22:13He's been waiting probably his whole life for this moment.
22:16And for me, I knew sooner or later it was going to come down to this.
22:19I mean, I knew Shawn Michaels three or four years ago.
22:22I said, this is going to be the guy that's going to try to take my spot.
22:27You know, I went through the same kind of thing, I think.
22:30I kind of went through the same kind of thing with Randy Savage.
22:32You know, I thought Randy Savage was really good.
22:34And all of a sudden, one day I was knocking on his door.
22:37And the next thing I was passed, I passed him.
22:39And then, you know, you look back and you go,
22:41there's the guy that's going to come back and knock on my door.
22:44And he's knocking right now.
22:45But unfortunately, I'm not ready to leave yet.
22:48He's been in this situation before, but he's come up short.
22:52And the reason is, is because he, I think he gets a little overconfident.
22:56He gets a little irrational when you start putting the pressure on.
23:01You put it on and you put it on and you put it on.
23:03Sooner or later, he makes his mistake and then it's over.
23:06First lick is the key to the match.
23:08Whoever gets that first shot in.
23:10And the way I see it, it'll be me.
23:13And it'll be me waiting to capitalize on his first mistake.
23:16And when he makes that first mistake and I go ahead one fall to nothing,
23:20then he's going to start trying to do everything he can think of to tie it up.
23:23And when that happens, he's going to make another mistake.
23:26And after he makes the second mistake,
23:28then all I have to do is either sit back and play defensively,
23:32or I can put him right out of the picture altogether and just pound him into oblivion.
23:35I'm going to do whatever it takes to win.
23:39I'm not in this thing.
23:40It's not a popularity contest.
23:41It symbolizes who is the actual best wrestler in the whole world wrestling federation.
23:47Who is the best wrestler?
23:51All right, we're back, ladies and gentlemen.
23:53And yeah, you talk about coming back here.
23:55They come from way down under.
23:57Looch and Bunch the Bushwhackers.
23:59Welcome back on, yeah.
24:02They are something else.
24:03You want to talk about something else though.
24:05You want to talk about bizarre.
24:06Of course, everybody saw the Academy Awards.
24:09And when it comes to Oscar, ladies and gentlemen,
24:11I've got to say, perhaps no one appreciates Oscar anymore than Marlena and Golda.
24:19This is a shocking story.
24:22It could never take place in most American towns.
24:28But it did in this one.
24:30It is a public challenge not to let it happen again.
24:35The Wild 1953.
24:38Oh, yes.
24:39But this is not most American towns.
24:42Is it, President Piper?
24:45It's Hollywood.
24:47It's the home of Oscar.
24:49The home of Goldust.
24:51Yes, it is definitely Rye Town.
24:56You see, it appears that we've stayed claimed the same territory.
25:01You with beef films and thumbs down from Siskel and Ebert.
25:07And me with the red carpets.
25:12But you see, President Piper, a few miles from here, there is no red carpet.
25:16There is a dark, dreary, deep pit, pardon the pun,
25:23that I call my back lot.
25:32Look around.
25:34You may even enjoy what you see.
25:37Oh.
25:39And poke your head in, take a long, hard look around.
25:46Yes.
25:47Pleasure.
25:49In pain as one.
25:52Wrestlemania.
25:53It will be you and me, Hot Rod.
25:56Finally united.
25:58Oh, I've been there many times before.
26:01Have you?
26:02You are at the work.
26:03You will, naughty boy.
26:05You will.
26:05And once you have, you will never, absolutely ever turn back.
26:11Don't fight it.
26:14Enjoy the experience of the golden one.
26:20Remember the name of.
26:32Well, we're turning this match up in progress.
26:34Yes, the Bushwackers, ladies and gentlemen, it's Johnny Blade in there right at the moment,
26:37along with his partner, Joseph White.
26:39Blade being set up there by Luke and coming off, and no!
26:43On the canvas, Johnny Blade.
26:44Look at that outfit on Johnny Blade.
26:46Unusual, isn't it?
26:46Yeah, it's unusual.
26:47Look at the outfits on the Bushwackers.
26:49Well, they're unusual anyhow.
26:50Yeah, you're right about that.
26:51My goodness, nonetheless, very successful restaurateurs, that's for sure.
26:56Yeah, Luke and Bunch down under, folks.
27:00Goldust is quite a thespian, isn't he?
27:02Well, I don't know.
27:04We're gonna find out how good he can fight this Sunday, because that's all that's gonna be.
27:07Exactly.
27:07Yeah, Backlot brawl.
27:08My goodness, we have never seen ever, ladies and gentlemen, a Backlot brawl.
27:12And imagine if you would, you certainly and everyone else, or not everyone else, some individuals,
27:17taking exception to the fact that Rowdy Roddy Piper may be abusing his authority, so to speak.
27:24As the president of the WF.
27:25Well, I don't think it's very diplomatic for an officer of the World Wrestling Federation,
27:29especially the president, to get personally involved with a WWF superstar.
27:33That's exactly what has happened, and now it's gone too far.
27:36It's gotta be settled this Sunday at WrestleMania.
27:38No officials on hand, no referees of any kind, no ring.
27:43No, sir, it's wide open.
27:44It's a Hollywood Backlot brawl.
27:46Roddy Piper is gonna take matters into his own hands, so to speak, against Goldust.
27:51Oh, my goodness.
27:52Luke and Butch dominating the matchup.
27:54Finally, here comes Mr. White in.
27:56Let's see what he can do against Butch.
27:59Butch now with White, sets him up, clotheslines him down to the canvas.
28:02Luke and Butch to Bushwhackers, always fan favorites.
28:07Always unorthodox.
28:08Yeah, that's for sure.
28:11How would you have to go to a family reunion with those two guys?
28:13Actually be a blast.
28:14I'm sure they're a lot of fun, always.
28:16In and out of the ring, ladies and gentlemen.
28:17That's not a bad idea.
28:18I'd like to bring him to the in-laws.
28:20Yeah, I bet you would.
28:21Look at the battering round.
28:23And White ran right into the head of Luke, and that's not good.
28:26Yeah, you're right.
28:27Neither is his match.
28:28A cover.
28:29Wait a minute.
28:30And a count of the victory.
28:32Yay.
28:33Yay.
28:35Look at Butch victorious.
28:36However, the tag team action is just about ready day.
28:39Heat up here this week, right JR?
28:40It's gonna get hot, no doubt about it.
28:41The Godwins take on Owen Hart and the British Bulldog to see which team will meet.
28:46The Body Donners for the WWF Tag Team Championship on the preview channel just before WrestleMania.
28:52It's the free for all this Sunday.
28:54It's gonna be a good one.
28:55Plus, of course, the geriatric match.
28:57Advocated by Billionaire Tiz.
29:01Well, the jacket says it all.
29:03WrestleMania 12.
29:05Man, we are moonwalking right into history.
29:07I can't wait any longer.
29:09I don't know about you.
29:10We've talked about it for weeks and weeks.
29:12The unbelievable card.
29:14At least now we know Latin sensation Savio Vega gets a face-to-face meeting with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
29:20What about the Hollywood backlot bra?
29:22See, something about this makes me feel a little bit funky.
29:25Goldust has lured Hot Rod Rowdy Piper into the backlot.
29:29That will not be a match.
29:30Good old-fashioned street fight.
29:32No refs, no rules.
29:33Here's some real good matches.
29:34The six-man tag.
29:35We're talking about Camp Cornette with the British Bulldog, Owen Hart, and Vader.
29:39Against Ahmed Johnson, Yokozuna, and Jake the Snake Roberts.
29:42What I love about it, if Yokozuna's team wins, he gets five minutes with Jim Cornette.
29:47Imagine what he can do in one minute, much less five.
29:50Then, of course, we talked about it earlier, Diesel against The Undertaker.
29:56The return of the Ultimate Warrior.
29:58So many questions, so much speculation.
30:00What's he gonna look like?
30:01Will he still be as intense?
30:02Will he be as reckless?
30:03Or will he fall prey to the pedigree of Hunter Hearst Helmsley?
30:08I think he'll still be as reckless.
30:09And then the greatest WWF title match of all time.
30:13Bret Hart faces the challenge of Shawn Michaels and his clique and the boyhood dream.
30:19But for Shawn to realize that dream, he has to defeat the greatest WWF champion of all time, Bret Hart,
30:25who each week has gotten more intense.
30:27It's going to be a war.
30:29Don't kid yourself.
30:30Right now, let's talk to Bret Hart.
30:32Shawn Michaels, you be sorry that you ever crossed my path.
30:36And I know a lot of people are gonna have a big problem with that.
30:39But I'm sorry.
30:40The excellence of execution has got one obligation.
30:43And that obligation is to support my fans.
30:46And I'm not gonna disappoint my fans one bit.
30:49Anaheim, Shawn Michaels, your history.
30:51See?
30:52See the intensity in Bret the Hitman Hart?
30:54And these tempers have been escalating and escalating.
30:57Look what happened on Monday Night Raw when Shawn went against New Rock or Leif Cassidy.
31:01And if you read between the lines, Bret said,
31:03I'm sorry, I gotta do what I gotta do.
31:05And I think what he's gotta do is take away Shawn's leg.
31:08Take away that sweet chin music.
31:10An excellent way of executing that plan, the sharpshooter.
31:14Who's gonna leave WrestleMania 12 battered, bruised, exhausted?
31:19But knowing that they were the victor in the greatest WWF title match of all time?
31:24You know how to find out.
31:25Join us exclusively live this Sunday, 7 Eastern, 4 Pacific, for the bomb WrestleMania 12.
31:32We're back, we're Todd Hillbilly Gems back there with a, what is this, a Godwin family reunion?
31:37I'm going outside here, boys, I gotta go inside.
31:39I'm going outside.
31:40I'm going outside.
31:40I'm going outside.
31:40I gotta take him outside here, you know.
31:42Well, you know what happened last time I took him to the ring?
31:44I gotta make sure it don't happen no more.
31:46Come on.
31:46You remember that?
31:48We got speaking to her now.
31:51The brother and the brother-in-law.
31:53Bret the Hitman Hart, they are together.
31:55Yes, of course, the British Bulldog and Owen Hart, they could very well be.
31:57The individual is going to the free-for-all.
32:00As we take a look at now, the bracketing.
32:03Winners of this matchup, the Godwins are the team of Owen Hart and the Bulldog to meet the Bonnie Donners
32:07for all the gold at the free-for-all.
32:10But let's take you back to last week on Raw.
32:12Look at this soon-to-be three-on-one assault of Ahmed Johnson, who was meeting Owen Hart, allegedly, in
32:19a one-on-one contest.
32:21Yeah, well, of course, that's one of the reasons why this is a six-in-man tag team matchup, ladies
32:26and gentlemen, on WrestleMania.
32:28Oh, my goodness, kissing pigs?
32:32Oh, my goodness, the New Rockers, certainly not happy with the Godwins arriving on the scene.
32:36The New Rockers knocked out of tag team action in a tournament.
32:39I can't believe it, Marty.
32:40I can't believe it.
32:42The Rockers, the New Rockers have been robbed of the tag team tournament.
32:45And you know what else?
32:46What?
32:46Even I know there was going to be robbed.
32:47All the pretty young ladies of the world.
32:49Yeah.
32:49Looking forward to seeing the New Rockers as tag team champions.
32:52And you get to see a lot of us, nothing you're not going to get to.
32:55But that's all right, we got a little something for you.
32:56Yeah, we got a little secret.
32:58Don't worry, girls, don't cry, because those stinky, nasty, smelly Godwins
33:01aren't going to win the tag team tournament either.
33:04Rock and roll forever!
33:05Yeah!
33:28Wait a minute, the British Bulldog and Owen Hart attacking from behind.
33:32The Bulldog, one of the more powerful individuals in the World Wrestling Federation.
33:36Owen Hart, and take care of the Godwins.
33:38A little do-si-do, and it comes by!
33:42Don't go messing with the country boy.
33:46Calling the hogs.
33:49This is ridiculous, calling the hogs.
33:52Wait a minute, they've got their own section out there around ringside.
33:55Maybe we can get a look at it later on, the hog pen.
33:58Same question.
33:59Baby Boy having a few remarks for some of the individuals in the hog pen.
34:02They have a tremendous following, the Godwins do, and why not?
34:05Talk about charismatic individuals and great athletes on top of it.
34:08Well, there are great athletes.
34:10Their technical skills are not too refined, but they make up for it with enthusiasm and raw country power.
34:16Here we go with Henry.
34:17A little more of the scientific of the two.
34:19Phineas is a little on the eccentric side.
34:22On the Gump side, you could say.
34:24Oh, all right.
34:25Forrest Gump might be related.
34:26And hip-toss, yes!
34:28Nice maneuver on the part of the big ol' Hank Godwin, and look at this!
34:31Big, powerful body slap!
34:33Hank's at its best whenever he's dishing out those high-impact basic maneuvers.
34:38And now, this will be an adventure.
34:39Yeah, it sure will.
34:40Always is when Phineas gets in there.
34:42And you talk about someone who knows how to dish out the punishment, that comes to,
34:46my goodness, Phineas, however, raked in the face, tag is made.
34:49Here comes Owen Hart.
34:51Owen Hart last week on Raw.
34:52Well, it was supposed to be a single competition against Ahmed Johnson.
34:57Of course, the man they call Vader involved, the Bulldog involved.
35:00However, it's gonna be three-on-three, the six-man matchup at WrestleMania.
35:06Yokozuna.
35:07Along with Jake the Snake Roberts and Ahmed looking for a little revenge.
35:12Somebody's gotta prove to me that they are man enough to step up to the plate and
35:16stop Vader.
35:17Nobody's done it thus far, and it remains to be seen if it will be done this Sunday
35:21on Pay Per View at WrestleMania.
35:23On the outside, Hillbilly Jim.
35:25Not liking what he sees at the moment, that's for sure.
35:27You know, Vader's gonna be competing right here on Superstars next week.
35:31My goodness, yes.
35:33Vader is something else, a force to reckon with him.
35:35Now, yeah, go ahead.
35:37Let's pump him up.
35:38Come on.
35:39Hey, help me.
35:40Wait a minute.
35:41When that strap comes off, that could be trouble.
35:43Hey, Grandpa, what's for supper?
35:44Yeah, I can tell you this.
35:46Here we go.
35:47It's easy to wind up.
35:48Phineas is on right hand.
35:50Look at this.
35:50Phineas going to work now.
35:51Phineas like a windmill.
35:53Phineas hammering all over the place.
35:54Phineas with an elbow.
35:56And this hot part, when you get him riled up, he has something else.
35:59My.
36:00He calls that his white water clothesline.
36:02White water.
36:03Big in Arkansas.
36:04I see.
36:05There you go.
36:07From behind the official's back.
36:09He ran right into the tennis racket.
36:11Yeah, ran right into it.
36:13Inadvertently again, right?
36:14Sure.
36:14Yeah, right.
36:15Sure it was.
36:16Wait a minute, wait a minute.
36:17The dog's coming after Jim Garnett.
36:20That dog likes pork, all right?
36:22Wait a minute.
36:22Here he goes.
36:23That hunt dog's gonna trio Cornette.
36:26Look at this.
36:29Meanwhile, back in the ring as Hillbilly Jim is chasing Jim Cornette.
36:32We've got a count.
36:33Almost a three count on Phineas.
36:35Phineas needs to make the tag.
36:36He certainly does.
36:36I'll tell you something.
36:37The Godwins need Hillbilly Jim at ringside much worse than British Bulldog and
36:43Owen Hart need Cornette there.
36:44This is a big advantage right now for the brother-in-laws.
36:47Davey Boy Smith, the powerhouse, along with Owen Hart, the man with all the technical skills.
36:53Yes, they are a force to reckon with, and right now it looks like it's gonna be.
36:57The Bulldog and Owen Hart facing the Body Donnas in the free-for-all matchup just 30 minutes prior to
37:03WrestleMania.
37:04Phineas in a lot of trouble here, and now you're gonna see what I think the best tag team in
37:08the WWF,
37:09of the British Bulldog and Owen Hart kicking into another gear.
37:14All right, coming off the rope and back.
37:16No, no, no, no, no.
37:17Look at that.
37:17Here he is.
37:18Coming over.
37:19Shoulders down.
37:19Come on, Owen.
37:20Turn it around, man.
37:22Turn it around.
37:22He did.
37:25And look at that.
37:25Run.
37:26Man, that's all he can get.
37:27Come on.
37:28Get some control in this matchup.
37:30This thing likely to break wide open here at any moment.
37:33Owen Hart, along with the British Bulldog, perhaps moments away of achieving victory and
37:38advancing in the tag team championship tournament.
37:41Stay with us for more tag team action.
37:44We're back with the semifinals of the tag team tournament.
37:47Ladies and gentlemen, the Godwins against Owen Hart and the British Bulldog.
37:50Conspicuous bias absents, Jim Cornette, my goodness, who took off after hillbilly Jim and
37:55his doggone blue chased Cornette out of the arena.
37:58Apparently, they're trying to corner him back there in the parking lot somewhere.
38:03If that dog bites Jim Cornette, he may have to be put to sleep.
38:05Absolutely, that'd be a terrible waste of a good hunting dog.
38:08I meant the Cornette.
38:09In any event, ladies and gentlemen, here we go.
38:13The Godwins down.
38:14Yeah, that's Henry Godwin slugging it out with Davey Boy Smith, the British Bulldog.
38:17The Godwins, look at this.
38:18My goodness, coming up, up and over, yeah.
38:21The Godwins.
38:23My goodness.
38:24Hank is a hammering.
38:25He is a hammering.
38:26I can't believe it.
38:28Yeah.
38:28Much like the NCAA tournament this weekend, Syracuse, Mississippi State.
38:33My goodness, the Cinderella teams and the Godwins unquestionably, the Cinderella team here.
38:36Come on, get over there.
38:37One, two, and- No.
38:39Wait a minute.
38:39Wait a minute.
38:40What's this?
38:41The new Rockers, what are they doing down here?
38:43Leif Cassidy and Marty Jannetty.
38:45Well, they made a promise that the Godwins wouldn't win the title.
38:49Wait a minute.
38:49We got Leif Cassidy going up to the top rope.
38:53Leif Cassidy, ladies and gentlemen, from the top, right in front of the official.
38:57What is he doing?
38:59Well, that was, that was stupid.
39:01Wasn't that a disqualification?
39:03I don't know.
39:04Wait a minute.
39:05The winners of this contest.
39:06Well, they're celebrating the new Rockers.
39:08Disqualification.
39:09No.
39:09Maybe.
39:10No.
39:11I bought it.
39:13I must say, that's not too bright on the part of the new Rockers.
39:16And now they're gonna have to deal with the Bulldog and Owen Hart.
39:18Well, Leif's dumb as a box of rocks.
39:22Nonetheless, I don't think that was what they were attempting to do.
39:26I think they were trying to do whatever it is they were doing behind the official's back.
39:30Well, I don't know the new Rockers were up to hoots with the brother-in-laws, but
39:33whatever they had planned didn't work.
39:35What a dumb move by Leif Cassidy.
39:39Well, then there you have it, ladies and gentlemen.
39:40The Godwins headed to the free for all.
39:43I want to square off against the body dotties to determine who will be the WWF Tag Team Champions.
39:50And of course, WrestleMania weekend upon us.
39:54This Sunday, ladies and gentlemen, you might say, that this is the ultimate WrestleMania.
40:00It's one of ourselves to beat the ultimate life.
40:03And there'll be no ring, no rules, no referee.
40:05A concrete battleground awaits.
40:07The Hollywood Battleground, first ever between Goldust and Rowdy, Rowdy Titan.
40:12It'll be the Undertaker against Diesel in the Battle of the Giants.
40:15You've got that right.
40:16And of course, ladies and gentlemen, the greatest athletic event in the history
40:19of the World Wrestling Federation, the WWF Iron Man Championship matchup.
40:23Bret Hart against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania.
40:26Wait a minute, look at this, Connett 3.
40:29Connett must have those bib bone underwear on.
40:31No, blue.
