08:12proceed to check directly into the smackdown hotel football coach the rock would like to take that
08:21whistle you got turn that some sideways and stick it straight up the reason why it garnered so much
08:28attention is because people kept wondering what was going to be next and here she is the rocks high

08:42thing to say to you poontang your ass on out of here it's wild it's chaotic and you really don't

09:00what is your name it doesn't matter what your name is i think it had like eight million or so
09:08people
09:08watching at the time which is just so absurd because it was such a crazy segment i mean there was
09:13no
09:21one of sports entertainment's greatest rivalries was between stone cold steve austin and his scheming
09:27boss mr mcmahon and in april 1998 after months of mounting tension between these two alpha males
09:33the texas rattlesnake finally had an opportunity to get his hands or rather a hand on the boss
09:40in an officially sanctioned wrestling match there can only be one opponent for steve austin and that
09:49is mr vince mcmahon the rise of stone cold was undeniable and it brought a lot of people back to
09:58wwe and it made wwe must see the fact of the matter is i could probably beat your ass with
10:04one hand
10:04shot behind my back oh look at this ever have to eat your words huh
10:14oh here we go
10:17and just as we were about to get the match that we all wanted dude love crashed the party and
10:23attacked
10:24the texas rattlesnake
10:30giving the boss a reprieve on a well-deserved stone cold ass whooping
10:40still to come what is your name i told you it doesn't matter what your name is will you
10:48stephanie takes the lord of darkness as your spouse
10:54now on to our fifth selection of greatest raw moments of the 90s in the summer of 1999 a mysterious
11:02countdown clock for the millennium would appear on raw broadcasts and whatever it was counting
11:07down to well felt like it was going to be something big in an age of wild free agency
11:14and sports entertainment rumors ran rampant around who would appear and when in anticipation would
11:20build to a fever pitch as the clock zeroed in on the august 9th edition of raw
11:28it's counting down tonight we're finally gonna unravel the mystery we're gonna find out the significance
11:33of the new millennium clock that's a moment i remember very well because i was really hyped
11:40for it it felt like a big deal a lot of people really thought that at the year 2000 like
11:46the
11:46world was going to sort of like collapse on itself it was a thing called the y2k problem
11:51we're counting down when the countdown finally happened in the rocks in the ring you know
11:58whoever's coming out like this is a huge moment
12:11when jericho came out and he just had his like back to the camera is so exciting like
12:16to me is one of the coolest debuts of all time welcome to raw is jericho
12:26people go crazy i went crazy i remember watching at home it was a really cool moment and it was
12:31exciting to have a fresh face in wwe that hadn't been there before see jericho interact with all these
12:37big stars really exciting prospect in fact he was going toe to toe and with the rock while the rock
12:41was
12:42completely on fire at that point and it was very cool and to see him get an opportunity what is
12:46your
12:47name i told you it doesn't matter what your name is for a new superstar like chris jericho to debut
12:55in the same airspace as the rock was absolutely huge and it made you realize from the off that chris
13:01jericho was a main event player without question a star was born and the wwe would never be the same
13:08again again onward with our fourth selection of greatest raw moments of the 90s the wedding that
13:15had all fathers of the bride cringing where to stephanie
13:18i was abducted actually by the undertaker jesley mcmahon going to be sacrificed here and almost forced
13:32to marry the undertaker and what was the first of many many wwe weddings for me
13:41one thing that i did like about his undertaker obviously is going to bring his own swag to the
13:45day he said you know what baby girl get up on my undertaker sign i'm going to levitate you during
13:49this
13:50process will you stephanie mcmahon take the lord of darkness as your master and your spouse
14:03who has the courage to come out here and stop this the good part about wwe weddings is you know
14:09something's coming you don't know something's coming you don't know what i now pronounce you as the unholy union of
14:16darkness you may now kiss your bride
14:42and then that stupid undertaker symbol that starts surfing on there while drinking beer which is uh
14:49pretty amazing being able to go out there and surf on that symbol was just a way to
14:55ad lib and do something funny the experience was absolutely one of the most fun moments i've ever had
15:03in 1995 the monday night flagship faced opposition from a rival professional wrestling company
15:10wcw nitro and for 83 consecutive weeks nitro dominated raw in the television ratings the battle for
15:17sports entertainment supremacy was often intense but until this next moment no one had ever crossed into
15:24enemy territory that is until d generation x decided to wage war on world championship wrestling
15:44very rarely did you ever see like a physical crossover so to see dx on a tank driving right to
15:51wcw
15:52like going okay you want us to turn up we are here that is the craziest thing still to ever
15:57happen
15:57ladies and gentlemen follow dx as we invade wcw it was a blast
16:06i mean their own fans were with us and saying wcw sucked do you think wcw sucks
16:16we are d generation x and we will take no prisoners
16:21if dx could have driven their tank down to the ring in wcw that could have been the biggest moment
16:26in wrestling history get a shot of them closing the gate but the power agenda by closing the gate
16:34you're pounding on that door i can hear them there's this old man that would just say open the door
16:39always i can't in retrospect now i just would i should just pie face him and push the thing
16:48up next we are down to the final two what will take the number one spot
16:54hey watch your mouth stick around for the bottom line on the greatest wall moments of the 90s

17:48two moment on the countdown one of the most thrilling action-packed and emotionally charged moments in the
17:53history of wwe the wwf championship is up for grabs the rock against mankind there's no disqualification
18:06this was the cool kid versus the outcast mankind obviously the underdog watch look at this his desire
18:14to entertain an audience through great impact with his body was mind-boggling the rock is putting

19:46beer truck
20:13back then it was the wild west yeah yeah just drive that thing in it'll it'll be
20:17be all right wwe was different the world was different back then things were a little more chaotic

20:31check right in to the smackdown hotel throw right in through 316 and burn that son of a bitch to
20:39the
20:42the beer truck was something else you know to drive an actual like complete truck in the building and
20:48then just spray beer all over everyone from the guys in the ring to people in the front row if
20:53you're
20:53talking about entertainment really can't get much more entertaining than that
21:04vance trying to swim in the middle of the ring in a beer and it was just a great time
21:09and people just
21:10ate it up
21:13the fact that we're talking about it now 20 plus years later tells you the impact that a segment like
21:18that
21:18what a reaction and what a time austin 316's contributions to the industry cannot be overstated
21:33enough and for that we raise our beers and salute to the texas rattlesnake and all the superstars who
21:40laid the foundation for raw becoming the powerhouse that it became
