00:00You see, the ultimate maniac has felt these large hands around his neck.
00:07He's felt the breath leave his body.
00:10He is feeling right now the Intercontinental Championship slipping off his waist,
00:17slipping back to where it belongs, the Heenan family.
00:20You're referring, of course, Bobby, to another Heenan family member,
00:23former champion Rick Rude.
00:24But as a journalist, I gotta ask you, will Rick Rude be jealous if Andre becomes champion?
00:31It's like that very wise man Charles Manson once said.
00:35And it's like Archie Bunker used to say, it's all in the family, Jess.
00:41What about the ultimate maniac's vow never to lose the belt?
00:45Oh, Jesse, this ultimate maniac, he's broken more vows than the Gabor sisters.
00:50And vows are meant to be broken, just like your neck.
00:54And I'm just the man who's going to do it.
01:01Let's go break some necks.
01:04Once again, Bobby Heenan stresses family values as the key to victory.
01:09And the ultimate warrior, you're just an orphan in the storm.
01:13Back to you, McMahon.
01:16All right, Jesse, indeed, this is one of the greatest championship matchups
01:21we have ever had on Saturday Night's Main Event.
01:24The ultimate warrior, the champion, against the challenger, making his way to the ring.
01:29Certainly the biggest threat, both literally and figuratively, ever for the ultimate warrior's reign
01:34as intercontinental champion.
01:36Look at the size of Andre the Giant.
01:39Bobby the Brain Heenan could very well take the title back to the Heenan family.
01:43But standing by right now, Mean Gene.
01:48All right, ultimate warrior.
01:50Ultimate warrior.
01:51You've heard from Andre the Giant and Bobby the Brain Heenan.
01:55They believe, they believe, warrior, that they have the advantage in this intercontinental title bow.
02:00They believe that you fear the giant.
02:02Fear is the air the cowards breathe.
02:12Fear is the first taste of defeat.
02:17The warrior only breathes the air of the brave.
02:22And the warrior only feast on the fruit of victory.
02:31Vince, I see no sign of fear in the eyes of the ultimate warrior tonight.
02:35Back to you.
02:38All right, here we go, Jesse.
02:40The intercontinental title up for Grant.
02:42And here come the champion.
02:45And have you ever seen anyone head to the ring with this kind of exuberance?
02:49This kind of enthusiasm?
02:51He better have exuberance, McMahon.
02:54He better have enthusiasm.
02:56Because take a look at what's looking at him.
02:59You're talking about a threat to the intercontinental championship.
03:02Their side of bigger threat, and I mean that literally, a bigger threat in the whole world
03:08than right there, Andre the Giant.
03:11Wolfman Warrior psyching himself up for this incredible task.
03:16And the bell has rung officially.
03:18The match underway.
03:19Andre rubbing his hands, looking forward to the lockup.
03:23So is the warrior.
03:25Andre making light, making fun of the warrior's tactics.
03:29And the warrior puts on the brakes.
03:30You know what's good about Andre?
03:32He doesn't have to go anywhere.
03:34Eventually, they gotta come here.
03:36He's going after the warrior.
03:39Andre blatantly choking the warrior, trying to stop the warrior's enormous strength.
03:44Warrior fighting back.
03:48And so far, this is Andre's game, Jesse.
03:51Exactly.
03:51We've seen this before, McMahon.
03:53The choke out of the warrior.
03:55And we may see it right here, right now.
03:57I can feel it.
03:59The Intercontinental title slipping away from your hero, the warrior.
04:04And the warrior choked down into the outside.
04:08And you notice Bobby Heaton walked away.
04:10No interference from Bobby.
04:12Total confidence in his man.
04:16Andre moving back in now into the corner.
04:19Warrior firing off.
04:21Slowing the big giant down a bit.
04:24You gotta come up with more than that to slow up.
04:26Wait a minute.
04:27I think he has.
04:28Andre can't breathe.
04:29Look at that, McMahon.
04:31He's using Andre's tights to choke him out.
04:34Where's all that muscle he's supposed to have?
04:37Why is he frequently breaking rules?
04:40Come on, Jesse.
04:41You saw what was happening earlier.
04:42It was Andre the Giant who started all this choking.
04:45And it could be the warrior who's gonna finish it.
04:48Look what he's doing to the 500-pound giant.
04:51Absolutely.
04:52But Andre was only using his hands, McMahon.
04:55He wasn't using him for an object.
04:57Wait a minute.
04:58The warrior over.
04:59Andre ducking down.
05:02And saving himself from that clothesline.
05:05And the warrior really had a beat on the giant.
05:08Yeah, but he didn't hit him with it.
05:10The warrior is back in trouble outside the ring.
05:13Andre's getting back to his feet.
05:15And the warrior's easy prey here for the giant.
05:18A kick to the midsection.
05:20Warrior firing off again.
05:23A shot.
05:24Another shot to the midsection.
05:26Open-handed down in the abdominals.
05:28Oh, no.
05:29Andre now really stretching the warrior out.
05:32And the key to this right here is the giant's leverage right here.
05:37I don't care how strong the warrior is.
05:39If you look, Andre's bending him back.
05:41Warrior not allowed to use that great strength that he has.
05:45Andre with the clear advantage right here.
05:47Headbutt to the back of the shoulder.
05:49Warrior trying to get out of it.
05:51And Andre at 500 pounds.
05:54And all that leverage leaning right down onto the warrior.
05:57And Andre looks like he's enjoying himself.
05:59Look at the muscularity.
06:00The muscularity in the arms of the warrior.
06:03I thought you were talking about Andre's.
06:06Warrior's still trying to power out of this.
06:08And it looks like he's going to make it.
06:10Andre trying to hang on for dear life.
06:13The warrior just itching more and more out of this hole.
06:17Andre losing his grip.
06:20Warrior fires off and breaks the hole.
06:22The close line.
06:23A good one.
06:25And a huge close line.
06:28Andre through the ropes to the outside.
06:31And the warrior's taking it to the floor.
06:34Now what business does this guy have going out to the floor, McMahon?
06:38The match is supposed to be in the ring.
06:41That's exactly where the warrior is right now.
06:43Waiting for Andre to get back in.
06:45And we'll wait for him to get back in.
06:47The match resumes.
06:48Winner return with more Saturday Night's Main Event.
06:55All right, Andre the giant.
06:57Hanging on to the official's ankle there.
07:01And just now making his way back into the ring after several attempts.
07:05And the warrior continues to stop.
07:08The warrior really.
07:09Wait a minute.
07:10Andre with a shot to the throat.
07:13Andre a blatant chukwu.
07:15Andre using that bottom rope.
07:17Ramming it down across the throat of the ultimate warrior.
07:20As you said McMahon, turnabout's fair play.
07:23It was the warrior that went out to the floor.
07:25So Andre's just continuing the battle warrior style.
07:30And the enormous Andre the giant.
07:33Back into the ring now.
07:34Apparently in control.
07:35Double chop to the neck.
07:37Gary, look at that.
07:38A camera with a bear hug of the warrior.
07:42Andre really pulling it on the giant.
07:46And if any one human being can make the giant submit as a result of a bear hug,
07:52it'll be the ultimate warrior.
07:55Bobby, he didn't yell at him, but he's got him by the trunks.
07:57He does not.
07:58Well, I have to concur with you.
07:59It doesn't look like it to me, but you know, Bobby's got to say what he's got to say.
08:04As big as the warrior is, as powerful as he is.
08:07We saw him open and go.
08:09His hands just barely reaching around the girth of Andre the giant.
08:14It's Andre now applying more pressure on the trapezius area.
08:19Really digging down into the traps.
08:21Ah, and the warrior's hands are slipping, McMahon.
08:24The hold is broken.
08:26And it's Andre the giant who's coming out on top.
08:31Andre really digging.
08:33Oh, a headbutt.
08:36The warrior has rocked.
08:38Andre feeling the effects of the bear hug as well.
08:41Both of these guys are on Hurt Street right now.
08:44A charge by the ultimate warrior.
08:47And Andre lowered the shoulder on him.
08:51Andre now countering, and Andre with a bear hug.
08:55The giant with a little hug of his own here on the ultimate warrior.
09:01It's turned into a total power match, McMahon.
09:04Strength against strength right in the center of the ring, as it should be.
09:09Look at those forearms.
09:11Literally no effect on Andre.
09:16Andre hanging on.
09:19And you wonder at this juncture whether or not it's an offense.
09:22Wait a minute.
09:23That's definitely an offensive maneuver there.
09:26The warrior on his hands and knees now.
09:28Andre the giant coming over.
09:32Oh, why did you see that?
09:34Did you hear that?
09:39Oh, and another chop by the one.
09:42Another one.
09:44The warrior is hammering the giant.
09:48Andre, two handfuls of hair.
09:51Headbutt.
09:53And what a battle strength against strength, McMahon.
09:56Just when you think one man has the upper hand,
09:59the other guy counters it with a power move of his own.
10:02Off the ropes now.
10:04Andre missing in the roundhouse right.
10:06Warrior untitled it in the backhand.
10:07And look at this.
10:09Andre locked in the ropes.
10:11Now why isn't that referee stepping in there
10:13and releasing the giant's arms from the ropes?
10:17The warrior off the rope.
10:18Here he comes.
10:19Right into the foot of Andre the giant.
10:25What's heeded?
10:26Heeded just grabbed the championship belt.
10:29You haven't won it yet.
10:31The official trying to help Andre the giant.
10:34And Bobby Heaton taking a shot at the warrior.
10:36Warrior holding the effort on his own.
10:41I'm puzzled as to why Bobby Heaton did this.
10:48And warrior hammering on Heaton while the official is over,
10:52trying to unlock Andre in the ropes.
10:53He has him unlocked.
10:55The warrior now has Heaton up in the air.
10:57He shoves him to Andre the giant.
11:00And both are down.
11:02We're both outside.
11:04And the warrior has won the matchup.
11:07Obvious disqualification.
11:09I've got an interview to do.
11:10I'm out of here.
11:12All right.
11:13Jesse heading back for his interview with congenious.
11:15Meanwhile, the action continues to the outside.
11:18Andre in the water.
11:20Still hammering away.
11:21The winner of this bout as a result of the disqualification.
11:25And still intercontinental champion.
11:30The ultimate winner.
11:34The warrior victorious.
11:36Bobby the brain.
11:36He is hurting.
11:37Andre the giant is hurting as well.
11:40He's hurting.
11:40He's hurting.
11:40He's hurting.
11:40He's hurting.
11:41He's hurting.
11:41He's hurting.
11:41He's hurting.
11:42He's hurting.
11:42He's hurting.
