[Mooney] Hello everybody and welcome to WWE Monday Night Raw.
I'm Sean Mooney and it is certainly raw here in New York City.
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of The Repo Man.
And after what took place last week…
Repo Man, you're a little bit late.
What do you mean I'm a little bit late?
Nobody knows where I am at any time and I'm here.
-You think I'd miss this moment? -[Mooney] I don't know.
A lot of people didn't know if you're gonna show up tonight
to face the "Macho Man" Randy Savage after what took place last week.
This is like repossessing a brand new Cadillac.
Randy Savage,
I'm gonna repossess your career just like I did your hat.
[laughs raucously]
I'm here, I'm here.
You better be ready for me
'cause I'm ready for you. [laughs raucously]
[opening theme music playing]
[siren wailing]
[Mr. McMahon] Welcome to New York City.
Welcome to Manhattan Center.
Welcome to Monday Night Raw.
I'm Vince McMahon along with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
and Rob Bartlett, and tonight you'll see
The Ugandan Giant, the mighty Kamala.
And in tag team matching,
look out, headed your way Luke and Butch, The Bushwhackers.
And of course, the match I can't wait to see, Vince,
"Macho Man" Randy Savage versus The Repo Man.
He's got Randy's hat and my car.
I don't need to tell you who I'm gonna be rooting for.
I don't care about a junkie car or a cheap hat.
The WWE is not big enough for both of them.
And I'm talking about Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect.
Careers on the line.
You have seen the last of Mr. Perfect.
Whoo.
-Here we go. -[bell ringing]
["Repossessor Blues" playing]
[Finkel] This contest is scheduled for one fall.
About to enter the ring--
[Mr. McMahon] And there's a good look at him.
Repo Man with the "Macho Man" Randy Savage's hat on his head.
Just last week right here on Monday Night Raw,
Repo Man came up from behind and attacked "Macho Man" Randy Savage,
grabbed his hat and ran out into the streets of Manhattan with it.
[Bartlett] Where he towed my car, Vince.
[Heenan] Now, you gotta run, he repossessed your car.
You must've missed a payment. And that's the best a hat's ever looked.
Yeah.
[Mr. McMahon] Repo Man looks a little ridiculous with that hat.
[Heenan] So does Savage.
[Mr. McMahon] Well, Repo Man and the "Macho Man" Randy Savage
had a little go at it Monday Night Raw.
Here we go.
[Bartlett] Right from the behind, here comes Randy Savage.
[Heenan] Get him, brother.
[Bartlett] Come on, Repo, get up.
[Mr. McMahon] Randy Savage all over to The Repo Man.
I doubt you'll see anything in the way of scientific knowledge
displayed in this match-up.
Randy Savage, a Brawler, so is The Repo Man.
Savage to the outside.
[Bartlett] He's gonna snap him like a Slim Jim, Vince.
-[Mr. McMahon] Oh my! Right in the mush. -[Heenan laughs]
[Mr. McMahon] Randy Savage taking The Repo Man over,
down with the knee.
Savage and Repo had a little bit of a go at it
at the Royal Rumble just yesterday afternoon.
And now, they're continuing right where they left off.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage coming so close to winning the Royal Rumble,
coming so close to be the man to face the WWE Champion at WrestleMania.
[Heenan] Coming so close, coming so close, if and were but, it doesn't mean anything,
it only matters if you win.
The only reason Savage is leading right now, this match,
is because he cheap shotted Repo Man from behind.
If they had started off face to face,
you'd see Savage right now probably begging.
-[Mr. McMahon] Oh, really? -[Heenan] Yes, really.
[Mr. McMahon] Again, a hard right hand by Randy Savage,
a counter by The Repo Man.
[Bartlett] Repo's gotta get a hold of that hook and that rope.
[Mr. McMahon] Over the top Randy Savage landing on his feet.
Right back in, Repo Man doesn't know, barely getting up.
[Heenan] Behind you!
[Mr. McMahon] Here comes Randy Savage drives a knee.
Repo all the way to the outside.
[Bartlett] Is that a flesh-colored beanie Macho's got on?
-[crowd cheering] -[Mr. McMahon] I don't believe so.
Randy Savage could go to the top rope.
Warned by the official there.
Wouldn't you love to see Savage come up off the top rope
and ram that elbow down in The Repo Man?
[Heenan] Not really. Repo doesn't deserve that.
[Mr. McMahon] Wait, Repo Man is trying to leave the match.
[Heenan] They've been in the ring about 18 seconds
and then on the floor about four minutes. It's out of control.
[Mr. McMahon] Randy Savage is all over The Repo Man.
He will take no prisoners tonight.
[Heenan] If my hair look like that, I'd be wearing a hat too, Vince.
[Mr. McMahon] I think The Repo Man's gonna be upset
if you keep making remarks about his hair.
Randy Savage shoving Repo Man back in the ring now.
Randy Savage coming close as we said before
of winning the Royal Rumble,
only to watch the 505-pound Yokozuna take the victory.
[Heenan] Ooh.
[Mr. McMahon] And again, Randy Savage risking disqualification
in this match-up with Repo Man.
[Bartlett] I don't think that would bother "Macho Man" too much.
[Heenan] He doesn't care if he gets his hand raised in victory.
He wants to hurt and there's nothing at stake here
except Savage's pride.
He lost his little cowboy hat, so he's upset.
So now he's gonna take it out in Repo Man. It's gonna backfire on him.
Just wait, just watch.
[Bartlett] Get the hook.
[Mr. McMahon] Wait a minute, look at this.
A reversal there, Savage rammed down to the steps.
[Heenan] Still to come, McMahon.
You're gonna see that match between Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect.
Careers are on the line.
WWE is not big enough for both of them and I understand
Mr. Perfect had just sent out for new luggage. He is leaving.
-[Mr. McMahon] Oh, really? -[Heenan] Oh, really.
[Mr. McMahon] I can't believe you'd allow Ric Flair to sign for such a match.
Oh, no, look at that.
Randy Savage's shoulder striking the ring post
and Repo man back in the ring.
The official could begin this count at any moment.
[Heenan] He doesn't know what number even to start at.
-[Heenan] They made so many counts. -[Mr. McMahon] Again, right back out.
-[Heenan] Ooh. -[Mr. McMahon] My goodness.
[Mr. McMahon] We are really brawling here tonight
on Monday Night Raw.
What an opening match-up.
[Heenan] You know, I didn't let Flair take this match.
He's that kind of a competitor. He wanted it.
He's the one that made the statement.
He must have confidence in himself just like I do.
[Mr. McMahon] Well, did you advise him against it?
[Heenan] Well, I told him it's not necessary
to put your career on the line, anything can happen,
especially on Monday Night Raw.
-[Mr. McMahon] Right, that's for sure. -[Bartlett] Come on, bro.
Bounce his tires for him.
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, wait a minute, who's side are you on?
[Heenan] I take that you don't like Mr. Savage, Mr. Bartlett?
-[Bartlett] No, I'm rooting for Savage. -[Mr. McMahon] Oh, really?
[Bartlett] I'm talking about the tires on Repo Man's feet.
-[Heenan] Vince. -[Mr. McMahon] What?
-[Heenan] Where did they get this guy? -[Mr. McMahon] Never mind.
Well, if you really must know, he was coming up the subway we just--
[Heenan] Robert. Hey.
[Mr. McMahon] Okay. Never mind. You didn't want anyone to know.
-[Heenan] You'd give a handout. -You want punishment, huh?
-[Mr. McMahon] What's this now? -[Bartlett] He's talking to him.
Giving out punishment.
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, Repo putting a bad mouth on Randy Savage.
You can't do that to me.
I'm gonna break it.
[Heenan] You know, I pay my chiropractor 80 bucks to do that to me.
-[Mr. McMahon] Really? -[Bartlett] He gets you down on the mat
and put his legs around you and his wrist back on your neck?
[Heenan] Hey, what we do in the privacy of our own home.
[Mr. McMahon] In the privacy of your own home?
-[Heenan] Sorry, it just kind of slipped. -[Mr. McMahon] I see.
[Mr. McMahon] Now, Bobby Heenan, Repo Man was obviously, uh,
using psychological tactics here, yes, with the shouting.
[Heenan] You have to psych your guy out all the time.
[Mr. McMahon] Well, that didn't do too much for Randy Savage.
[Bartlett] Did it psych him out or what, huh?
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, nice tackle there by the "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
Off the rope, coming off the rope,
-stops, putting on the brakes. -[Heenan] Ho, ho, ho.
[Mr. McMahon] We'll be right back as we continue.
[crowd cheering]
-[Mr. McMahon] We're back. -Yeah, shut your mouth, kid.
-[Bartlett] Is he talking to you, Vince? -[Mr. McMahon] What?
-[Bartlett] Is he talking to you? -[Mr. McMahon] I hope not.
Randy Savage with a shot to the midsection there.
Uppercut by the "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
Repo Man has been putting the bad mouth on the "Macho Man"
all the way through this match-up.
[Heenan] So far he's spoken more than
Bill Clinton did last week during the inaugural address.
[Bartlett] He's made more sense.
[Mr. McMahon] "Macho Man" Randy Savage snapped out now by Repo Man.
What a match-up, a grueling match-up this has been thus far.
-Oh, my. -[Heenan] I'd say it's been 50-50.
It's maybe The Repo Man having the advantage.
-[Bartlett] I don't know it's-- -[Mr. McMahon] There's a cover!
Count of two and a kick-out.
[Bartlett] Savage is pretty serious, a matter of fact earlier,
I saw him writing a letter to Jodie Foster.
-[Mr. McMahon] That's serious. -[crowd chanting] Macho! Macho!
[Mr. McMahon] And Randy Savage turning into--
-[Heenan] What is he talking about? -[Bartlett] Ask him.
Pick up a paper every once in a while, will you, Heenan?
[Mr. McMahon] He does, but it has leaves on it, you know those kind of--
-[Bartlett chuckles] -[Mr. McMahon] Well, never mind.
-[Bartlett] Smart, real smart. -How do you like that, huh?
[Mr. McMahon] By the way, a little bit later on, "Mean" Gene Okerlund
will bring us up-to-date on all the happenings
that took place just yesterday afternoon
at the Royal Rumble out in Sacramento, California.
-[Bartlett] My co-host, an all-American. -[Mr. McMahon] I beg your pardon?
[Bartlett] That's my co-host, an all-American, "Mean" Gene Okerlund.
[Mr. McMahon] Yeah, I see. That's rather dubious distinction.
Randy Savage back up now with leverage, a little kick down to the chest area.
Ooh, what a clothesline by Repo Man! Wow!
-[Heenan] Who is that masked man? -That's the way it is we do.
-[Bartlett] I don't know, Kemosabe. -[crowd chanting] Macho! Macho!
[Mr. McMahon] And Repo Man continues to pour it
-on the "Macho Man" Randy Savage. -Macho! Macho!
[Mr. McMahon] He is that. He's Macho, Randy Savage is.
[Bartlett] What makes you think so? What makes you think--
[Mr. McMahon] What a great competitor! Come on.
Former World Wrestling Entertainment Champion
on two different occasions, give me a break.
The hat is mine!
[Heenan] So has Ric Flair.
[Mr. McMahon] Well, Ric Flair is about, I believe, ready to say bye-bye
to the World Wrestling Entertainment a little bit later on.
Either that or Mr. Perfect says adios.
-A suplex. Down to the canvas. -[Heenan] Yeah.
[Mr. McMahon] Repo Man.
[Bartlett] Maybe running out of gas here, I don't know.
Here's the cover, one, hooks the leg again!
[Mr. McMahon] He's only got two.
[Bartlett] It's all right. He's in pretty good shape.
-[Mr. McMahon] Yeah? -[Bartlett] That needle's not on "E".
[Bartlett] Really wish Repo Man was at the inauguration last week.
-[Mr. McMahon] Why's that? -[Bartlett] Well, we could've stood
to have him steal Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore's hats.
[Heenan] Hey, I like those hats.
And how about that evening gown she had on, huh, Hillary?
-[Mr. McMahon] Yeah? -[Heenan] What a looker.
-[Heenan whistles] Wow. -[Mr. McMahon] Really?
[Bartlett laughs]
[Mr. McMahon] Rush Limbaugh liked it, I understand.
[Heenan] Oh, you didn't like it?
[Mr. McMahon] I thought she looked lovely actually.
[crowd chanting] Macho! Macho! Macho!
[Mr. McMahon] My friends, making a toast to you
live from the WWE Monday Night Raw.
-[Heenan] I know that voice. -[Mr. McMahon] Yeah?
[Heenan] That's Paul Harvey, isn't it?
-[Mr. McMahon] No, it's Ronald McDonald. -[Bartlett laughs] Oh!
[Mr. McMahon] Down goes Repo and the action coming back--
Oh, my goodness.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage turning the tide--
-Look at this match. -[Heenan] You see, that Repo,
he's just got it in him. He's a competitor.
He's got that street smarts. He goes out at night.
That's when he likes to work. That's when he does his best work.
-[Mr. McMahon] Yeah? -[Heenan] Taking it to the "Macho Man".
Yeah, Macho what?
[Bartlett] He's yelling at you, McMahon. He doesn't like you.
[Mr. McMahon] He better concentrate on the "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
The hat somewhat symbolic about what this match is all about.
[Heenan] Oh!
[Mr. McMahon] Yes, went up high for that clothesline.
Randy Savage scooping up Repo, slams him down to the canvas.
Randy Savage now going to the outside.
Savage going up.
The official trying to get in the way, but Randy Savage is on the top rope.
And what's going to happen when Randy… Yes!
[Heenan] I thought he'd move. I thought The Repo would get out of the way.
[Mr. McMahon] That's gonna do it. That's it, yes!
[Bartlett] Savage from the blue line.
["Pomp and Circumstance" playing]
-[Heenan] What a lucky victory. -[Mr. McMahon] A what?
[Heenan] I said what a lucky victory. Are you deaf?
[Mr. McMahon] "Macho Man" Randy Savage victorious
on Monday Night Raw.
And Repo Man hurled to the outside one more time for good measure.
[Bartlett] He's gonna drop on him from the top rope.
[crowd cheering]
[Bartlett] No, they're not gonna let him do it.
[Mr. McMahon] Well, I'll tell you what they are gonna let him do,
"Macho Man" Randy Savage
will be joining a whole host of other WWE Superstars
on their way back here to New York City, but a different venue.
This Friday at Madison Square Garden will be the kickoff
for the World Wrestling Entertainment's Headlock on Hunger.
And Randy Savage, one of the Superstars leading the way.
What a competitor, Randy Savage the "Macho Man".
What an ovation.
What a show off.
[Mr. McMahon] That's okay, he has his hat back.
[Heenan kisses] Here's a kiss for you too, sweetheart.
Hey, give me honk later on.
-I'm at the area code-- Wait. Are we on? -[Bartlett laughs] A honk?
[narrator] It's coming. It's coming Sunday afternoon, April 4.
It's coming to the Palace.
WrestleMania is coming to Caesars Palace.
The most opulent, splendiferous hotel and casino in existence
proudly presents
the most spectacular pay-per-view event of all time, WrestleMania.
Las Vegas has become
the new family entertainment capital of the world
and your family will experience excitement,
fun, and action as never before as WrestleMania.
Come to the crown jewel of Las Vegas, Caesars Palace.
Relive the legend at the home of champion
on Sunday afternoon, April 4, it's WrestleMania.
[Mr. McMahon] We're back here on Monday Night Raw.
We're anxiously awaiting--
Uh-oh, here we go, the drums are beating.
[Finkel] …coming to the ring being led by his--
-[Mr. McMahon] Take a look at this. -[Heenan] It's Neil Carter.
[Mr. McMahon] No, it's not.
-[crowd applauds] -[faint ululation]
[Mr. McMahon] Uh-oh, he's ringing the dinner bell.
The Ugandan Giant, the mighty Kamala,
assisted by Reverend Slick,
the pastor of the Mount Ephraim Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas
has become the advisor of Kamala.
Look at this, Brawler running right to work on him.
Brawler setting up Kamala, tries to yank him out.
No, he's not going anywhere. A chop by Kamala, another one.
Kamala now with the Brawler, whips him to the corner.
Here he comes, oh, my.
Brawler scooping up--
No, no, he can't get Kamala up.
However, Kamala reverses him rather handily.
[Heenan] I'll tell you, I'm very surprised because
Kamala lost his instinct to fight
after he was put in the coffin at Survivor Series by The Undertaker,
I figured he was finished.
It seemed like Harvey Wippleman and Kim Chee were getting him back.
[Mr. McMahon] No, no, wait. They deserted him, that's what you mean.
[Heenan] He bit the hand that fed himself.
-[Mr. McMahon] And listen to this. -[crowd chanting] You are a man.
[Mr. McMahon] "You are a man."
Exactly the advice Reverend Slick gave Kamala.
And you can bet Brawler is believing in Kamala. He is definitely a man.
Kamala missing with a clothesline, Brawler hangs on to the rope.
Oh, what a nice kick by Kamala.
[Bartlett] Harvey Wippleman very, very busy these days.
[Heenan] I'm surprised, I thought without Kim Chee
and without Harvey Wippleman, this man would be some kind of a lost… Oh!
You know, just lost out of the jungle,
he didn't have his trainer, didn't have his manager,
but I don't know what Slick has done for him, but he seems very, very--
[Bartlett] It's really not so much Slick, Bobby Heenan, it's the crowd.
Kamala is listening to the people around ringside.
He's opening his heart for them.
He feels what they feel and they're chanting, "You are a man."
[Mr. McMahon] They've definitely embraced The Ugandan Giant, the mighty Kamala.
[Heenan] But I think he made a big mistake, ooh.
-[Bartlett] He is a man. -[Heenan] He made a very big mistake.
[Bartlett] He is a man and he needs the ThighMaster.
[Mr. McMahon] You mean Suzanne Somers? What a combination that would be.
Kamala, The Ugandan Giant dating Suzanne Somers.
That will make a front page of the New York Post.
[Heenan] My girl.
[Mr. McMahon] Kamala, Three's Company.
-There you go. -[Bartlett] Kamala is three by himself.
[Mr. McMahon] Kick to the chest area,
Kamala really pouring it on the Brawler here.
[Bartlett] Nice of the Brawler to dress up for tonight's match.
[Mr. McMahon laughs]
[Heenan] Hey, he's from Brooklyn.
That's the way he likes to operate,
that's the way he goes down the alley, that's the way the man fights.
[Mr. McMahon] How about that Harvey Wippleman
bringing to the ringside area during the Royal Rumble,
that Giant Gonzalez, almost eight feet tall.
[Heenan] No, McMahon. he was close to 20'10".
[Mr. McMahon] Yeah.
[Heenan] He's bigger than the Golden Gate Bridge,
and I never saw The Undertaker manhandled like that.
[Mr. McMahon] Now, look at this.
The crowd really getting behind The Ugandan Giant,
He doesn't know what quite-- Uh-oh.
-[Heenan] Safe, safe! -[Bartlett laughs]
[Mr. McMahon] He's what?
[Heenan] Safe, reminded me of P. Roe sliding in.
[Mr. McMahon] George Steinbrenner will be proud of that maneuver.
[Heenan] George Steinbrenner would be proud of anybody that could play ball.
[Bartlett laughs]
[Mr. McMahon] The Ugandan Giant in control,
he does not know what to make of his new found popularity.
He's not all that comfortable with it yet.
[Heenan] Can you imagine if these people ever get behind him
and he embraces the people?
How dangerous this man can be? He don't know how strong he is.
[Bartlett] He's 20 minutes away from being Sally Field.
"They like me, they really like me."
[Mr. McMahon] The Ugandan Giant down on the Brawler.
And rolls him over
and rolls him over again
and rolls him over again.
[Bartlett] He's making a burrito out of him.
[Heenan] Not the first guy getting rolled here in New York.
-[Bartlett laughs] -[crowd cheering]
[Mr. McMahon] The Ugandan Giant having some…
Rolls Brawler back and--
No, he doesn't attack.
-[Mr. McMahon] No! Yes. -[Heenan] Very good, very good.
-[bell ringing] -[Heenan] Greco-Roman move.
-[Mr. McMahon] A what? -[Heenan] He hooked the sole of his foot
-and just hold it up. Great. -[Mr. McMahon] I see.
Well, Kamala and this capacity crowd bonding together as one.
Perhaps I can get an interview with Reverend Slick and The Ugandan Giant.
[Heenan] Hey, McMahon, hey.
Bob, where is he going?
[Bartlett] He's going to talk to Kamala.
[Heenan] He can't leave us here alone. He can't leave me here with you.
-[Bartlett] Why, what are you afraid of? -[Heenan] Not afraid of anything.
-[Heenan] Oh, are we on? -[Bartlett] Sit down.
[Heenan] I gotta talk to the director. I can't be out here with you.
-[Bartlett] Sit down. -[Heenan] Between you and I,
I'm the host of this show, you got to kickback to me, you know.
-[Bartlett] Oh, you're the host? -[Heenan] Yes I am.
[Heenan] Whatever you make, you kickback to me, that's the rules here.
[Bartlett] Who are you, Colonel Parker?
[Heenan] Colonel Parker?
You mean the guy that makes the brown and serve rolls? No.
I'm not Colonel Parker. You got to… Let's hear what he has to say. Shut up.
I must say that this is extraordinary
what you have done for Kamala, Reverend Slick, is outstanding.
Well, Vince McMahon, I appreciate the compliment,
but I cannot take full credit for Kamala, Ugandan Giant.
The credit goes to all these wonderful people.
[crowd cheering]
You… You are responsible
for the conversion of The Ugandan Giant.
You opened up your heart to him
and in return, yes, he's opening up his heart to you.
But you know Harvey Wippleman, Kim Chee,
you better stay out of the way of The Ugandan Giant
because I'm not gonna be responsible
for what may happen if he gets one look at you.
Oh, thank you very much.
Reverend Slick along with The Ugandan Giant, the mighty Kamala.
[Heenan] Is McMahon coming back or not?
-[Bartlett] I hope so. -[Heenan] We don't need him.
[Heenan] We don't really need him. You know, he asks those guys
those fluff questions, keeps the interview civil.
I go hardcore. I get to the meat of everything.
I'd ask Kamala,
"Is it true that you're gonna be the campaign manager
for Mayor Dinkins in re-election?" That's what I'd ask.
[Bartlett] Yeah, you're real Dan Rather.
[Heenan] Rather what?
[Bartlett] I'd rather not be here with you.
[Heenan] You'd… I'd rather not be here with you.
Yeah, you do.
[upbeat music playing]
All right, folks, right here on WWE Monday Night Raw,
here we go with your post Royal Rumble Report
brought to you by good friends at Coliseum Home Video.
The exclusive distributors of the Survivor Series
and yesterday's gigantic Royal Rumble
available at video stores everywhere February the 11th.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
in case you missed the Royal Rumble yesterday,
I got to tell you, you missed a lot.
We've come to expect the unexpected
from World Wrestling Entertainment pay-per-view events,
and it happened again yesterday
in California's capital city of Sacramento.
Number one, a successful title defense
for the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion, Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
Then more big news, and I mean really big.
The winner of the 30-Man Royal Rumble
500-pound plus Japanese Superstar, Yokozuna.
This tentatively sets up a big main event for WrestleMania IX
on April the 4th of 1993 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada,
providing Bret "The Hitman" Hart retains the World Wrestling Entertainment title.
It'll be him going against challenger, Yokozuna.
Well, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan did it again at the Royal Rumble
finally unveiling Narcissist.
We had waited for a long time
to see just exactly who this individual was,
Lex Luger.
Now, I am not a big Lex Luger fan,
but ladies and gentlemen, I got to tell you
this man look like the bronzed Adonis,
obviously in fabulous shape
and he's got some goals, some ambitions, some objectives
here on the World Wrestling Entertainment.
More big news,
I mean gigantic news in the form of Giant Gonzalez.
All of a sudden during the course of action at the Royal Rumble,
Gonzalez brutally attacking The Undertaker.
I have never seen The Undertaker manhandled like this.
I didn't think anybody could do to The Undertaker
what Gonzalez did.
And I guarantee ya, we have not heard the end of that particular story.
I'm sure in the weeks and months to come,
there's gonna be more to be told about what transpired yesterday
at the Royal Rumble.
And of course, you can get all of the latest breaking developments
right here this coming weekend
on the World Wrestling Entertainment television network.
[Heenan] Hey, toots. Come over here.
I'll give you my number to the room I'm in.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Something maybe with an overbite and a big hump on her back?
-I don't know. -[Mr. McMahon] We're back.
[narrator] Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
To be the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion you gotta want it every day.
It takes an integrated approach to training
and that is what ICOPRO is all about.
Chips? Ahhh!
Gotta have beef? Gotta have spice?
Need a little excitement?
-Snap into a Slim Jim. Oh, Yeah! -[snap]
[Mr. McMahon] We're back with more Monday Night Raw.
This is the match we've all been awaiting.
I can't believe Ric Flair last week challenged Mr. Perfect
and put his career on the line.
[Heenan] I gotta go to ringside. I gotta see Flair.
[Mr. McMahon] I guess you do. Bobby Heenan headed up to ringside
to greet "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair.
[Bartlett] They don't have a little thing going on the side, do they, Vince?
[Mr. McMahon] Well, I'll tell you what, It has been a relationship
that took Ric Flair
to the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship.
And Flair puts it all on the line.
And so does Mr. Perfect here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
Right here on the USA Network.
And you can see by the look of concern on Bobby Heenan's face,
this match-up means everything to Ric Flair and to Mr. Perfect.
Bobby Heenan joining us again.
-[Heenan] Am I on? -[Mr. McMahon] Are you on?
-You better hope Ric Flair is on tonight. -[Heenan] He's always on.
[Mr. McMahon] Here, look at that.
[Finkel] His opponent, weighing 256 pounds--
[Mr. McMahon] Look at the look of confidence on the face of Mr. Perfect.
[Heenan] You know, I advised Flair not to take this match.
-[Mr. McMahon] You did not. -[Heenan] Yes, I did!
[Heenan] Anything can happen on Monday Night Raw.
That official can do something to backstab us.
Jack Tunney could do something. I don't like this.
I have a financial investment in that man.
But you couldn't talk to him. He was so upset at Mr. Perfect.
He's risking his career.
If he's gonna put his career on the line, he must know something.
It's bye-bye, Mr. Perfect.
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, wait a minute. The same is true of Mr. Perfect.
I think this is not a wise decision for either competitor.
Both competitors, two of the greatest ever in the World Wrestling Entertainment
and Mr. Perfect putting his career on the line.
[Heenan] Two-time WWE Champion, Ric Flair.
Two-time Intercontinental Champion, Mr. Perfect.
And they do not like each other.
-And that's Perfect's fault. -[Mr. McMahon] Thanks to you. Yeah sure.
[Mr. McMahon] If you can hear a little commentary in the background,
we think we're picking up another radio station or headset.
We're not exactly too sure here.
Having some technical difficulties. Oh, my!
Hopefully, you're still with us. Perhaps, that's… I know what it is.
We're picking up the Sci-Fi channel on USA.
That's what it is. Ask for it.
A Sci-Fi channel.
Look at the look of determination on the face of Mr. Perfect.
[Heenan] If he kept his mouth shut, he'd still have a good job.
If he just did what Flair told him or I told him and kept his mouth shut,
he'd be all right.
[Mr. McMahon] Mr. Perfect walks in no man's shadow.
I can tell you that. He is his own man, for sure.
[Bartlett] Yeah.
[Mr. McMahon] One of the greatest WWE competitors of all time.
Shoulder block, down he goes.
Flair off the rope again, little momentum and…
Oh, nice drop toe-hold and look at this.
Oh, my! What a slap in the face.
Shades of the Ali shuffle.
"Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee."
What about it, Bobby Heenan?
-[Heenan] Wha-- -[Mr. McMahon] Yeah. Exactly. Right.
[Heenan] I can't be bothered listening to you.
[Mr. McMahon] Look at the kisser of Heenan, huh!
Looks like he's gonna have a stroke.
-[Bartlett laughs] -[Heenan] I got a lot invested here.
We did very well in '92.
Ric, come on over here. I got an idea. Hold this headset.
[Mr. McMahon] Bobby Heenan going off headset again.
-A little consultation. -[Bartlett] What's he doing?
[Mr. McMahon] Bobby Heenan has a hammer.
[Bartlett] Heenan tried to hand him the hammer I think.
[child] You suck!
[Mr. McMahon] And Bobby joining us again.
Ric Flair going back up
and into the ring, taking his sweet time about it.
[Bartlett] Why don't you just give him a hammer drill while you're at it?
-[Heenan] Give him what? -[Mr. McMahon] What were you trying to do?
[Heenan] Who me? Do what?
[Mr. McMahon] We saw what you were trying.
[Heenan] I did nothing.
Slip some sort of foreign object into the hands of Ric Flair.
[Heenan] Oh, the hammer. I got that away from the timekeeper.
-[Mr. McMahon] Oh, nice maneuver by Flair. -[Bartlett] Beautiful maneuver.
[Mr. McMahon] Riding time and, oh, nice reversal.
Yes, indeed. Into the hammerlock.
And Mr. Perfect jamming that forearm up as high as he can get on the shoulder
as Flair tries to connect with a series of elbows there
that miss the mark just slightly.
Backs Perfect to the corner. Oh, wow! Right in the head.
And a chop by Flair.
Flair, setting up Perfect. Another one.
No, look at this.
-Perfect spins. Ooh! -[Heenan] Whoa!
[Mr. McMahon] And again!
They are chopping each other!
They are hacking away here on Monday Night Raw!
-[Bartlett] What was that? -[Heenan] That's your favorite.
You love to see Flair knocked around, don't you, McMahon?
[Mr. McMahon] A delayed reaction.
Nonetheless, the effect of those chops, quite obvious.
As we see Mr. Flair now over in the corner backing off a bit.
[Heenan] Sure, you get hit that hard in your chest, it stops your clock.
[Mr. McMahon] I guess so. Stop a truck.
Flair and Perfect now.
I believe both men are still a little too tentative.
A little too cautious.
[Heenan] Well, that's what I'm scared too.
I don't want Flair to make a mistake.
-I don't want his temper to snap. -[Mr. McMahon] That's what's happening.
Both men are little too defensive here I think
with what's at stake.
-They're gonna have to let it all go. -[Heenan] No.
If you let it all go that's where you're gonna make a mistake.
Flair wants Perfect to make a mistake, Perfect wants Flair to make a mistake.
That's a competitive individual there.
If you just went out there, and just like you would do, McMahon,
just go nuts, snap--
[Mr. McMahon] I think a degree of reckless abandon is necessary
for someone to be victorious in this match-up.
[Heenan] You probably listen to music loud too
and go fast on the highway and go on rollercoasters and everything.
Motorcycles and skateboards and bungee jumping.
[Mr. McMahon] Ric Flair with a bit of momentum.
Has, uh, Mr. Perfect in the corner and starts that hacking away.
Starts chopping away again.
-Come on, ref, that was a clenched fist. -[Heenan] So what?
-[Mr. McMahon] What do you mean, so what? -[Heenan] That' what I said. So what?
Perfect could do it.
[Mr. McMahon] And he just might.
Oh, what… Another one!
And a nice left hand out of nowhere.
Mr. Perfect all over Ric Flair.
[Bartlett] Dropping him like a bad habit.
-[Mr. McMahon] Flair back to the corner. -[Heenan] Good move. Regroup.
[Bartlett chuckles] Regroup! Why don't you run to the locker room?
[Mr. McMahon] What about the officiating thus far, Bobby Heenan?
Pretty much, uh, going your way or what?
[Heenan] No, it's not going my way. It's lousy officiating.
He's letting Perfect get away more than he's letting Flair get away.
Perfect's throwing punches. He should be disqualified.
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, come on, the referee with a match of this magnitude
likely to bend the rules… Oh, come on.
[Bartlett] Don't do that! You'll put somebody's eye out.
[Mr. McMahon] Well, Flair now, really taking advantage of a little…
Lax natured official. Look what's going on now?
[Heenan] Here we go!
-[Mr. McMahon] Oh, no! -[Heenan] Oh, yeah!
[Mr. McMahon] Ric Flair with that steel chair!
And no! Thank goodness. The official leaped and grabbed the chair.
We'll be back as we continue with more Monday Night Raw.
[Heenan] Don't touch him, Ric.
We're back with more Monday Night Raw. Mr. Perfect and Ric Flair going at it.
Both men have put their career here in the World Wrestling Entertainment on the line.
What a match-up!
[Heenan] You realize what Flair's accomplished
since he entered the WWE in such a short time?
[Mr. McMahon] Do you realize what…
Oh, look at that! Mr. Perfect. No!
All the way to the outside. What a break for Flair.
[Heenan] Break for Flair? No, that's fair to Flair.
That's fair for Flair right there.
[Mr. McMahon] Mr. Perfect may not get up. He hit his head on that ring post
when he came flying out.
-[Heenan] He's hurt. -[Bartlett] Yeah he's hurt.
[Heenan] That's the way I like it.
[Mr. McMahon] And back down and if he's counted out, it's history.
-His career is over! -[Heenan] One, two, three.
[Mr. McMahon] Stop it. The official's doing the counting. He's outside.
And if for any reason, the official stops this match-up,
then it's curtains for one of these two as far as
the World Wrestling Entertainment is concerned.
-You keep your mouth shut. -[Mr. McMahon] Look at this now.
Flair attacking the open wound on the forehead of Mr. Perfect.
[Bartlett] He smacked his head good on that ring post.
[Mr. McMahon] And Flair really going to work. The official may stop it.
-Perfect now, to the buckle! Oh, my! -[Bartlett] Oh!
[Heenan] We got an impact! Whoo!
Is there gonna be a party tonight in The Apple?
[Mr. McMahon] Ric Flair, bound for the cover.
Trying to get him down.
Chin lock and… Wait, his foot is right there on the rope.
-[Bartlett] Come on, ref. -[Mr. McMahon] Come on, ref. Get your…
[Heenan] Your job is to call the action.
-Not to interfere. -[Mr. McMahon] Ref, can you hear me?
Don't try to interfere in this kind of a match.
Careers are on the line.
[Mr. McMahon] Look at the shin of Flair.
-You weren't holing the rope? -No.
-[Heenan] That's okay. -[Mr. McMahon] It is not okay.
-[Heenan] You can do that. -[Mr. McMahon] You can't.
[Heenan] Don't you know the rules?
It's like life. You can do anything till you get caught.
[Mr. McMahon] Mr. Perfect and Ric Flair, laying their career in the WWE on the line
and right now, it looks like Mr. Perfect's gonna say goodbye.
But nonetheless, a right hand there had nothing behind it from Perfect.
-Another shot. -[Heenan] I'll be right back.
-I'll be right back. -[Mr. McMahon] What do you mean?
[Heenan] I'm gonna call Mr. Perfect a cab.
[Mr. McMahon] You stay right here.
Look at this. Perfect standing there
taking almost everything Ric Flair has to give him.
Reversal by Perfect. Flair coming out.
-[Heenan] Oh!. -[Mr. McMahon] Yes.
Now that one had something behind it.
-[Heenan] Come on, Ric, get up. -[Mr. McMahon] The cover.
One, two. That's three. Got him.
-[Heenan] No, he didn't get him. -[Mr. McMahon] Almost.
-Almost a count of three. -[Bartlett chuckles]
That was a fast count, too.
[Mr. McMahon] What a match-up!
And Flair going downstairs, bending over Mr. Perfect.
[Heenan] Come on, Ric. Come on.
[Mr. McMahon] Flair trying to setup Perfect.
Whips him to the rope, coming off, hip lock, no.
Oh, wait a minute. Trying to backslide him.
Trying to get him over.
[Heenan] Drop to your knees. He can't take you over.
[Mr. McMahon] Mr. Perfect trying to get him down.
[Heenan] Drop to your knees! He can't take you over.
Don't you hear me?
[Mr. McMahon] Perfect. Here we go. Has momentum now.
-[Heenan] No! -[Mr. McMahon] Yes.
[Heenan] Come on! Come on.
[Mr. McMahon] Come one! Perfect trying to get him down
on a shoulder slide and then one, two--
-Oh. So close. -[Heenan sighs wearily]
[Mr. McMahon] Very, very close.
And Flair recovering before Perfect trying to set him up.
[Heenan] No, reversal to the buckle. Nice bit of raw power and over. Yes!
-[Bartlett] Oh. -[Heenan] Come on, Ric.
[Mr. McMahon] Just when you think there's nothing left for Mr. Perfect
he comes right back at you. And Flair begging now.
This capacity crowd really enjoying the action
on Monday Night Raw!
[Heenan] Come on, Ric. Get out of the ring. Get out of the ring.
Make him come after you make him make a mistake.
[Mr. McMahon] And a right hand lands.
[Heenan] The referee's given up. He's not even trying to control this.
[Mr. McMahon] Again, the official, considering the magnitude of this event,
allowing a lot of latitude as far as bending the rules.
-Look at that. -[Heenan] Oh!
[Mr. McMahon] Perfect is hammering. He is hammering.
-[Heenan] That's a closed fist. -[Mr. McMahon] Yes it is.
[Heenan] And he should be disqualified.
-Do something. -[Mr. McMahon] Uh-oh. And he did.
[Heenan] He didn't get 'em as good as he could have.
Come on, Ric. Follow it up. Nail him from behind. Blindside him.
[Mr. McMahon] And a roll-up. One, two, three.
-No. Oh, wow! -[Heenan] No. [sighs]
[Mr. McMahon] Mr. Perfect and Ric Flair.
Both men giving it their all here on Monday Night Raw.
[Heenan] Come on, Ric. You know what you're doing.
Let him make a mistake. You can make him make a mistake.
[Mr. McMahon] Look at this now. Wait a minute.
Flair to the outside. Wants to collect himself.
That's not a good sign if you're Ric Flair.
[Heenan] 'Cause you don't know what he's doing.
-He may be sucking Mr. Perfect in. -[Mr. McMahon] I doubt that.
[Heenan] You're not dealing with the average wrestler here, McMahon.
[Mr. McMahon] No question about.
-Oh, my goodness. -[Heenan] Oh, my God.
[Mr. McMahon] Yes! Perfect now with authority.
Cinches up Flair. Flair comes in the hard way.
[crowd cheering]
[Mr. McMahon] And Flair covered. This one's over. Yes.
No, it's not. I can't believe it. He got his shoulder up before three.
[Heenan] Come on, come on, come on, come on!
Stop him! Stop him now!
[Mr. McMahon] Ric Flair with a kick to the mid-section.
[Heenan] He knows what he's doing. He's sucking him in.
[Mr. McMahon] Yes, he did. He did on that occasion.
Off the rope now and a sleeper hold.
[crowd cheering]
[Mr. McMahon] Ric Flair with a sleeper hold on Mr. Perfect.
[Heenan] Put him to sleep any way you can.
[Mr. McMahon] Trying to put his career to sleep.
Trying to put him out of the WWE.
[Heenan] He's down to one knee, McMahon! He's down to one knee!
He's sitting down. Ring that bell, it's over!
Yes! Mr. Perfect is history.
[Mr. McMahon] The official right there to make sure this move
-does not turn into a chokehold. -[Heenan] He's not gonna get up.
He's not gonna get up. He doesn't have it anymore.
[Mr. McMahon] You may be right.
It looks like it's history for Mr. Perfect. He's hardly moving.
[Heenan] He's on his butt, his feet are flat out. He can't get up.
[Mr. McMahon] The official raises a hand once.
[Heenan] Once, there we go. Twice. Yes, yes, yes.
[Mr. McMahon] One more, if that hand doesn't stay up, it's gonna be it.
And… There… Oh! No, no. He's still with it.
Somehow he's still with it.
[Heenan] That's a lousy rule. It should be twice to raise a man's hand.
[Mr. McMahon] Look at this. Mr. Perfect making a move
on Ric Flair, back to his feet.
[Heenan] Come on, Ric.
[Mr. McMahon] And to the buckle. Nice maneuver on Perfect's part.
A desperation attempt that paid off for Mr. Perfect.
[Heenan] As weak as their bodies are, they can't hold on to each other.
How much time has gone now? Is there a time limit on this?
-[Mr. McMahon] I don't know. -[Heenan] You're supposed to know!
[Mr. McMahon] It would be unfortunate if we had to go off the air
while this match continues. Wait. Look at this.
Two and three. No.
[Heenan] So, if we go off the air
and there's not a conclusion to this match,
-then it's a draw. They both stay. -[Mr. McMahon] No, unfortunately,
if we go off the air there's no conclusion,
we'd have to give you the conclusion next week.
But I believe right now, Mr. Perfect is going to beat Ric Flair.
I sense a momentum on the part of Mr. Perfect.
[Heenan] He doesn't have it hooked.
-[Ric Flair groaning] -[Heenan] He's out of gas.
[Mr. McMahon] I don't think Perfect is out of anything, Bobby Heenan.
[Ric Flair groans]
[Mr. McMahon] Flair back to his feet now, making his counter move.
And Perfect up in the air.
Perfect for the suplex. Nice counter move on the part of Flair.
[Heenan] There's a pro.
There's a man that knows where he's at in that ring.
[Mr. McMahon] Yeah, he's flat on his back. That where he's at.
[Heenan] Yes, he's flat. Oh, I don't mean he's flat on his back.
I mean, he got out of it. He got out of that hold.
Why? Because he's Ric Flair.
[Mr. McMahon] Two veterans going at it here.
Putting their respective careers on the line on Monday Night Raw.
And flare yanking Perfect out.
Wait a minute. He's going for the Figure Four!
-[Heenan] Time for school. -[Mr. McMahon] And he gets in the Four.
He's got it in. Flair cinches a Figure Four.
-It's over. -[Heenan] Ring the bell.
Come on stupid, ring that bell.
-[Mr. McMahon] Flair has to hold the rope. -[Heenan] It's okay.
-It's not okay. -[Heenan] The ref don't see it, it's okay.
[Mr. McMahon] Flair hanging on to the rope.
Gaining even yet more leverage.
[Heenan] He's not holding the rope, you liar.
[Mr. McMahon] Not right now he's not, but he was earlier.
You saw it as well as I did.
And again, Flair reaching for the rope.
[Heenan] It doesn't matter if I see it
-or you see it. -[Mr. McMahon] Hanging on! Come on!
-[Heenan] It's if the ref sees it. -[crowd cheering]
[Mr. McMahon] Turn around, ref.
And he grabs that rope again.
And it's Perfect, two and… Whoa!
Perfect has to spin out of this somehow.
He has to reverse this pressure. Oh, now the referee got him.
The referee caught Flair hanging onto the rope.
[Heenan] The average man, I give Perfect credit for this,
would've given up for the time he was in that Figure Four.
He'll give up, he'll get beat. Don't worry.
I'm not worried. Don't you worry.
[Mr. McMahon] Perfect is… Would you relax, please?
-[Heenan] Who? -[Mr. McMahon] You.
Relax. You're getting everyone upset.
Mr. Perfect with a bad knee now. Oh, and even worse.
[Heenan] He knows what he's doing. Oh, yeah.
He's building the foundation to finish off the big house.
Yes. Get him.
[Mr. McMahon] Ric Flair now with Mr. Perfect.
Snaps him over in the middle of the ring.
And thus far, the good news is
that the cut on Perfect's forehead has not opened up.
-Wait a minute. Yes! -[Heenan] No, no, no.
[Mr. McMahon] Perfect, look at this, catches Flair in the corner.
-[Heenan] Back off! -[Mr. McMahon] And Flair, body slam.
-Mr. Per… We'll be back. -[Heenan] No. Hold my headset.
Take my headset. Hold this!
-[Mr. McMahon] Back with Monday Night Raw. -[Heenan] Get out! Get out!
[Mr. McMahon] These two men, I can't believe they're still going at it.
Hey, we better have a conclusion here real soon.
We only have about nine minutes before we have to leave you.
Wait, what's he doing? Wait. What's that?
Ric Flair going down in his knee pad.
Yeah, he puts on knuckles.
No, no! No, don't beat him this way.
-Don't cover him. -[Heenan] Beat him any way you can.
[Mr. McMahon] Don't take his career from him like that.
[Heenan] Yeah. What a way to become retired huh, Mr. Perfect?
If you'd shut up, you still could have been with us.
If you had any smarts, you'd listen to me.
[Mr. McMahon] Perfect hasn't moved. He's knocked out.
[Heenan] It is over.
[Mr. McMahon] Flair drops the elbow for good measure.
Bob-aroo!
-[Mr. McMahon] Oh, no. For you-- -[Heenan] Yes.
[Mr. McMahon] Two. Wait, the foot! The foot! The foot!
-[Heenan] Oh, no! -[Mr. McMahon] The foot!
[Heenan] Shove that foot right down in his mouth.
I like what I see.
[Mr. McMahon] One, two… He gets him at three.
No, he doesn't!
Oh, wow!
-Bobby Heenan, big kisser. -Yes, yes.
[Mr. McMahon] Big smile on his face, he likes what he sees.
-[grunting] -Two, three…
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, come on. Flair attacking…
He wants to stop the match by opening that wound.
[Heenan] Doesn't matter.
[Mr. McMahon] This man will stoop to any depth to win this match.
[Heenan] That is exactly right.
[Mr. McMahon] Rob Bartlett, you haven't said a word. What's going on?
[Bartlett] I'm speechless. I've never seen anything like this in my entire life.
These two guys are beating the bejabbers out of each other.
[Heenan] Ooh, and another chop.
[Mr. McMahon] Wait a minute, Heenan. Look at that look on that face.
No, no, no. Look at Perfect. He's turned into a punching bag.
But what resolve by Mr. Perfect.
[Heenan] He's out on his feet.
[Mr. McMahon] Flair's chops don't even mean anything.
[Heenan] He's out on his feet. Ring the bell!
-[Mr. McMahon] And look at this. Yes. -[Heenan] Oh, no!
[Mr. McMahon] Talk about momentum.
Now, Perfect moving in on Flair, who's backing off.
Mr. Perfect, Ric Flair. What a chop!
And all of a sudden what resilience by Perfect.
Flair for the ride. Oh, my! Up right over and down!
-[Bartlett] Now. -[Heenan] Come on, Ric.
[Mr. McMahon] And a clothesline. Yeah, nailed him.
What a right hand! What a right hand!
And Ric Flair now is the one on the canvas.
What action in this match-up. Oh, look at that!
That's unbelievable! Maybe…
-Flair is down. -[Heenan] No!
Oh, my God. No.
-One… It's over. It's three… -[Heenan yells]
[Mr. McMahon] No. Oh! I thought he had him for sure.
I thought Perfect had Flair for sure.
What excitement in this match-up.
This is the kind of athleticism
you'd expect in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Heenan] He's at two, three…
[Bartlett] The foot!
[Mr. McMahon] Come on. Look at the foot, ref. Come on.
Oh, look at that. And the official…
-[Heenan] He can't do that. -[Mr. McMahon] Wait. A reversal.
Yes, yes, yes. Oh!
A kick-out by Flair.
[Heenan] They are literally, McMahon, fighting for their lives.
[Mr. McMahon] Off the ropes, puts the brakes…
Perfect Plex! One, two… Yes, he gets it!
-[Heenan] No, no! Oh, my God, no! -[Mr. McMahon] He gets it!
[Heenan] No, no, no!
[Mr. McMahon] Mr. Perfect victorious!
Bobby Heenan has thrown Ric Flair's career away.
-[Heenan] No, no, no. -[Mr. McMahon] It's your fault, Bobby.
Get out of my way [bleep].
[Mr. McMahon] Bobby Heenan, beseiged… Look at this.
He can't believe what has happened.
He can't believe that Ric Flair is no longer in the WWE.
Mr. Perfect victorious.
And perhaps his greatest victory to date.
[Bartlett] That was an amazing match, Vince.
[Mr. McMahon] Bobby Heenan will never forgive himself
for allowing Flair to issue the challenge and accept.
Both men, Perfect and Flair putting their careers on the line.
-[Bartlett] Yeah. -[Mr. McMahon] But, nonetheless,
it's Mr. Perfect now
who has chased Ric Flair out of the World Wrestling Entertainment.
What action on Monday Night Raw.
What action on USA.
Yeah, Perfect!
[birds chirping]
[narrator] Ah, it's Saturday morning.
-[creaking] -You just can't seem to get out of bed.
Ahhh! Wake up!
[alarms ringing]
[narrator] Now, there's an exciting new reason to rise and shine.

We're just being told that Ric Flair must honor his obligations

But nonetheless, after that, it's all downhill for Ric Flair.
Next week, Typhoon, near 400 pounds squares off against Doink the Clown.
[Bartlett] What a creep he is!
-[Mr. McMahon] Who? Typhoon? -[Bartlett] No, Doink the Clown.
[Mr. McMahon] Or Bobby Heenan? There are a lot of 'em here
on Monday Night Raw. Join us next week!
[siren wailing] Raw. Join us next week!
