[narrator] The World Wrestling Entertainment,
for over 50 years, the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.
[rock music playing]
[Mr. McMahon] In the past, we have heard from Lawrence Taylor's manager.
In the past, we have heard from Lawrence Taylor's attorney.
Tonight, we will hear from former number 56,
the all-time NFL giant.
Yes, we're gonna hear it from Lawrence Taylor himself
tonight on Monday Night Raw.
-[siren wailing] -[crowd cheering]
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Monday Night Raw.
Vince McMahon here along with James E. Cornette.
And yes, we anxiously anticipate the words of Lawrence Taylor.
Oh, words of wisdom they would be if it's an apology
because that's what Lawrence Taylor ought to give Bam Bam Bigelow.
He goaded Bam Bam on. He showed him disrespect.
And now, tonight on Monday Night Raw is his chance
to get down on his hands and knees and beg to big Bam Bam for forgiveness.
That would be the smart thing to do.
That could be what we're gonna hear, but who knows?
-I got the inside… -I can tell you what we're gonna see.
We're gonna see hopefully the culmination of one of the hottest rivalries ever
in the WWE, "Made in America" Lex Luger tonight
against Native American Tatanka.
Let's take you now to pre-recorded comments of Lex Luger.
It all-started back at SummerSlam.
DiBiase and Tatanka had the whole world convinced
it was I who had sold out.
Even the most ardent Lex Luger fans had their doubts.
But it was you, Tatanka, who showed your true colors that night.
And then you had to take DiBiase's dirty, filthy hundred-dollar bill
and jam it down my throat, a humiliation I will never forget.
It was right then I vowed revenge.
And then in a six-man tag three weeks ago,
you ambushed me from behind again.
And then two weeks ago on Action Zone,
Tatanka, you stooped to an all-time low depth
even for you,
when you attacked Chief Jay Strongbow from behind,
a man who treated you like a son.
Well, Tatanka…
tonight, it's payback time for everything that's happened
and Chief Jay Strongbow's gonna in my corner
to keep an eye on DiBiase.
And I dare you to put a hand on him.
-[crowd cheering] -[bell ringing]
[Mr. McMahon] Welcome again, everyone.
And yes, here comes the Native American Tatanka,
no doubt walking down the money trail.
Behind him "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase.
What a matchup this is gonna be here this week, Jim Cornette.
[Cornette] And I can hardly wait to see this, too,
because if old Chief Jay Strongbow
walks his decrepit fossil bones at the ringside,
I'm sure that this man has a few things to say to him face-to-face
as well as Luger.
[Mr. McMahon] We're talking about a Hall of Famer
-in Chief Jay Strongbow. -[Cornette] Oh, come on,
I don't care if he's in the Hall of Fame.
This is the new generation,
and Tatanka and Ted DiBiase epitomize that.
[Mr. McMahon] Chief Jay Strongbow, ladies and gentlemen,
there is no doubting this man's acumen when it comes to wrestling knowledge.
You can bet he is going to impart some of that knowledge to Lex Luger.
[Cornette] I'll tell you what, there's no doubting
Chief Jay Strongbow's age.
He's three days older than dirt
and there's no doubting that Tatanka is gonna finish Luger tonight.
He's been on his back week after week after week.
This is the final chapter.
[Mr. McMahon] Lex Luger, unlike Tatanka,
respecting his elders
and certainly respecting the knowledge of Chief Jay Strongbow,
-one of the all-time greats… -[Cornette] Come on.
[Mr. McMahon] …in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Cornette] You know where that respect the elders came from?
From Strongbow because he's older than everybody.
…real American way tonight.
Me and The Million Dollar Man made a fool at you at SummerSlam
and destroyed you at Survivor Series.
But tonight, I'm gonna teach you the Native American way.
-["Made in the USA" playing] -[crowd chanting] USA!
[Mr. McMahon] I would suggest that indeed Tatanka
does not represent Native Americans everywhere.
And here he comes now.
Here comes the young man as the guest flag bearer leading the way
for the man proudly made in the USA,
-yes, Lex Luger. -[Cornette] Oh, look at this.
[Mr. McMahon] And Chief Jay Strongbow right by his side.
[Cornette] You've heard of dumb and dumber,
there's old, older, and oldest.
Look at that fossil back there. We'll be--
[Mr. McMahon] That fossil carries a great deal of knowledge for sure,
and that fossil, as you call him, one of the proudest individuals
in the history of the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Cornette] He looks like a walking litter commercial, come on.
[crowd cheering]
[Mr. McMahon] Lex Luger, hopefully settling the score once and for all
against Native American Tatanka,
a tremendous matchup here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
Notwithstanding effect than a little bit later on, yes,
we will be hearing from the one and the only Lawrence Taylor.
And joining us as well, Bam Bam Bigelow.
Wait a minute, here we go.
[Cornette] Oh, we're off to the races already
and look at Tatanka, he's leading Luger around the ring,
and suckered him in.
[Mr. McMahon] Tatanka chopping away on Lex Luger,
perhaps Luger coming into this match-up with a little too--
Well, maybe a little too aggressive, maybe a little too ambitious.
And Luger is firing back on Tatanka,
coming off the ropes with a clothesline and down he goes.
Lex Luger is one fired-up human being,
ready for action and now it's Tatanka to the outside.
[Cornette] Ted DiBiase has gotta get Tatanka to regroup just a second.
Luger's coming out there.
He's riding on adrenaline and emotion
because he wants to get even for what happened to that man,
Chief Jay Strongbow and he's gonna be going full bore
until he gets Tatanka.
[Mr. McMahon] I don't think anyone will ever doubt
the word of Lex Luger ever again.
But no doubt, everyone will question whether or not
Ted DiBiase and Tatanka will ever tell the truth again.
[Cornette] Oh, come on. They tell the truth all the time.
It's just not what the people wanna hear
and that's why they refuse to listen to it.
[Mr. McMahon] Luger again, perhaps a bit overzealous,
that may be to his disadvantage. Here he goes after Tatanka.
Lex Luger now coming back in the ring trying to
-get around, and does. -[crowd cheering]
[Cornette] Luger, he should have been one of the Keystone Cops.
He's leading a merry chase around the ring.
But right now, you see Strongbow, he's waiting,
he's standing there, he wants to get a shot at Tatanka.
-I know he wants to get even. -He's scared.
[Cornette] Luger's trying to get even for him.
But Luger should have been happy
that Tatanka attacked Strongbow and stopped his attack on Luger.
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, please.
And obviously taking his time staying on the outside,
we hear the Luger chant.
But taking his sweet time and no doubt frustrating Lex Luger.
Wait a minute. Tatanka-- Is he leaving? What's he doing?
[Cornette] He's just trying to get a little fair break here.
All these people in the building are on him.
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, here he comes.
Oh, and Tatanka chopping his way back into the ring,
Tatanka hammering away on Lex Luger.
Native American Tatanka trying to pour it on against Lex Luger,
continuing to chop now, backing him up into the ropes.
[Cornette] Oh, that's music to my ears.
I love to hear the sound of Tatanka's hand
crash into the side of Luger's head like that.
[Mr. McMahon] Very little in the way of scientific skill displayed in here.
Right into the buckle face first is Lex Luger.
And we would suspect this match would probably be reduced
to a more brawling type match-up.
And Tatanka chopping away on Lex Luger.
[Cornette] You hear that meat crack?
-But look at Luger. -[Mr. McMahon] And again.
[Cornette] Luger's not hang having it.
[Mr. McMahon] If anything, this is emboldening Lex Luger.
Look at this, and Luger now, going after Tatanka,
but Luger walking right into the-- Oh, wait a minute.
Lex Luger blocked, Luger with an elbow,
Lex Luger now, ramming Tatanka to the buckle, a series of right hands,
spinning Tatanka around, to the buckle again.
Lex Luger is taking it to the Native American.
Luger hammering away now.
Luger pouring it on.
And-- Oh, no, oh, look at this.
-[Cornette] He blocked it. -[Mr. McMahon] Clothesline.
And-- No, there's no cover here.
I think this match-up is being reduced to a brawl.
And now, the tempers are flaring
in this match-up between Luger and Tatanka.
[Cornette] And these people are going crazy.
They've never seen Tatanka take a beating like this
and it all exploded from Luger
in the last 60 to 90 seconds.
And there he goes.
[Mr. McMahon] And Luger's head right against the retaining barrier there.
Tatanka pulling the tights of Lex Luger and Lex may not get back in.
Luger may be counted out.
[Cornette] He looked like he took an Olympic dive out of that ring
head first into that guardrail.
And now, Tatanka's gonna…
[Mr. McMahon] And Lex trying to get back in the ring,
not recognizing that Tatanka's over there…
steel steps and back down on the ground.
And Tatanka standing over Lex Luger.
Tatanka beating the count, back in.
The official trying to keep Jay Strongbow away
from "The Million Dollar" Man Ted DiBiase.
[Cornette] Oh, yeah, Strongbow, boy,
he's breaking speed records to get over there.
And look at him.
DiBiase-- He don't want no part of DiBiase,
I'll guarantee you that. DiBiase is gonna keep Strongbow nullified.
[Mr. McMahon] And a chop there.
You wonder whether or not the presence of Jay Strongbow
will in any way break the concentration of Native American Tatanka.
Tatanka is chopping away on Lex Luger.
[Cornette] I'll tell you what, Tatanka looks pretty focused to me.
I have a feeling if he was any more focused,
Luger would be unconscious by now.
[Mr. McMahon] Lex Luger, ladies and gentlemen,
no doubt with a great deal of frustration, however right back into the ring.
Tatanka now is trying to set up Luger.
Off the ropes and--
Oh, what a chop by Tatanka and cover, one, two--
-Oh. -[Cornette] Oh, he almost…
[Mr. McMahon] A near-fall. We'll be right back.
Stay with us. The match continues.
We're back, everyone. We apologize for having to take a break.
Nonetheless, not too much has changed
because Tatanka has been pretty much dominating Lex Luger
-since we went to break. -[Cornette] That's right.
Not too much has changed, as you saw Tatanka doing a war dance
on top of Lex Luger.
Luger's breath now smelling like Kiwi boot polish.
And look at him crawl on his hands and knees,
that's the position that Tatanka and Ted DiBiase have wanted Luger in
ever since this thing started before SummerSlam.
[Mr. McMahon] And Tatanka relishing the fact
that Luger is literally just hanging on now.
Tatanka with the advantage, likely to keep it.
The Native American, he was the one who sold out to Ted DiBiase,
sold out his heritage,
-sold out his friends-- -[Cornette] Wait a minute.
Wait, sold out?
He made a business deal.
He accepted a contract
and took a job for more money than Luger
-or a lot of these morons out… -[Mr. McMahon] It's dirty money.
And wait a minute, Luger to the buckle,
and Luger to the far side now and down to the canvas.
[Cornette] You realize that all money is dirty.
It changes through so many hands, it's all dirty.
It's got a lot of germs on it.
-[Mr. McMahon] It does. -But it still spins,
especially the kind that DiBiase pays Tatanka.
[Mr. McMahon] Native American Tatanka with the deciding advantage now.
And Chief Jay Strongbow doing what he can to encourage Lex Luger
to get back to his feet.
[Cornette] He better encourage him to get back out of the ring.
Maybe Luger ought to join Strongbow in retirement
after Tatanka gets finished with him.
Because Luger, he exploded earlier in the match,
but he's not looking too sharp now
after Tatanka made a few strategic moves.
[Mr. McMahon] This match, of course, ladies and gentlemen,
this controversy beginning back at SummerSlam,
and Luger has been waiting, not very patiently, to even the score.
Tonight is the opportunity.
Can Lex Luger rise to the occasion against Tatanka and Ted DiBiase?
[Cornette] And I've got to say
that he rose to the occasion earlier in the match
and he has been lowered back down to his current level,
which is subservient to Tatanka.
And at this point, Tatanka is squeezing the breath out of him.
Look at Strongbow-- Oh, now the crowd are getting into it.
[Mr. McMahon] And yes, there's no doubt who the fans are behind in this match,
we have a very partisan crowd on hand.
Jay Strongbow saying, "Go to the inside.
Go to the inside. Break the hold."
But with Luger's strength, maybe he could do it in another way.
-Lex Luger-- -[Cornette] Tatanka's strength
is gonna prevent Luger from being able to get inside that grip.
I could see it right now.
-He got his hair. -[Mr. McMahon] Yes.
And Lex Luger hammering away and breaks the hold.
[Cornette] Well, sure, if you wanna cheat, you can do it that way.
Vince McMahon Lex Luger-- No.
The roundhouse misses and Tatanka suplexed to the canvas.
Now, Lex Luger with an opportunity to turn the tide a bit,
but unfortunately the toll that Lex Luger has taken
is apparently too much for Lex to be able to follow-up.
[Cornette] Tatanka's gotta get up. Luger's starting to get to his feet.
He's up to his knees trying to use the ropes to pull him up.
Tatanka's gotta shake this thing off and regain the advantage.
If he doesn't, he's gonna have serious momentum problems.
And look at Strongbow exhorting Luger on.
[Mr. McMahon] Oh! And a chop there by Tatanka.
And a look of concern on the face of Ted DiBiase.
Oh, what a chop by Tatanka.
Whoa.
[Cornette] Both Luger and Tatanka,
they're giving it the battle of their life,
but the advantage, I believe,
has got to go to Tatanka because he's got DiBiase.
He's got the ace in the hole.
[Mr. McMahon] Lex Luger is totally-- Wait a minute.
Look at this. Luger doesn't know where he is, I think.
[Cornette] Maybe DiBiase ought to un-tap that ashtray he's carrying around
because that seems to hold some kind of power.
[Mr. McMahon] Tatanka moving in on Lex Luger.
Tatanka now, setting up the man made in the USA, to the buckle,
-and-- Oh! -[Cornette] Oh!
[Mr. McMahon] This time, Tatanka moving in too quickly.
And Lex Luger appears to have a-- Have his wits about him.
This time, both feet up on the kisser of Tatanka.
Luger moving in, blocking the right hand.
Lex blocking another one, and Lex Luger hammering away
on Native American Tatanka now.
Luger setting up Tatanka for the ride, off the rope
and underneath the roundhouse, right back in--
Oh, wait a minute.
-Sleeper hold. -[Cornette] He's got the sleeper.
[Mr. McMahon] You know where that came from.
We haven't seen this before, it's Jay Strongbow.
Jay Strongbow was a master of the sleeper hold
and he taught the hold to Luger, but Luger can't hold on.
[Cornette] Now, wait a minute.
Now I know why Tatanka is so mad at Chief Jay Strongbow
because the sleeper was his specialty and he never taught it Tatanka.
Why would he teach it to Lex Luger?
[Mr. McMahon] It's tough teaching Tatanka anything when--
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
-Tatanka-- -[Cornette] And Tatanka realizes it.
He knows where that sleeper hold came from.
And he's getting in Strongbow's face.
I taught you something and you took every damn thing.
-[Mr. McMahon] Oh, look at that. No. -[Cornette] Oh.
[Cornette] He snatched his hair off.
[Mr. McMahon] Tatanka destroying the ceremonial headdress--
And a chop from Strongbow, the Hall of Famer with another chop.
Jay Strongbow now with another chop.
-[crowd cheering] -[Mr. McMahon] Jay Strongbow
with Native American Tatanka,
backed him off after Tatanka just destroyed the headdress.
And now, we've got ourselves a donnybrook.
[Cornette] Lex Luger just saved Chief Jay Strongbow right there
because I can't believe that Tatanka would let that old possum
get away with that.
He struck him.
[Mr. McMahon] Lex Luger, ladies and gentlemen, now with Tatanka.
It's payback time.
Luger now-- Look at-- Look what happened.
[Cornette] It's better looking than his hair.
[Mr. McMahon] Lex Luger is taking it to Tatanka,
off the ropes, look at that knee lift.
The match continues. stay…
Welcome back, everyone, to Monday Night Raw.
Yes, you can see Tatanka is still taking a drumming from Lex Luger
and down to the canvas.
[Cornette] Face-first.
And Tatanka right now, chewing on some canvas. Luger.
[Mr. McMahon] And Luger with a clothesline.
Lex Luger all over Tatanka, and again and again and again,
and this time to the outside.
[Cornette] The floor was there to break Tatanka's fall,
but he may not be too anxious to get back in the ring.
These guys, they're like two energizer bunnies.
They've been going and going and going and going
ever since this match started.
[Mr. McMahon] What about the competitiveness of Tatanka?
Where is he? Wait a minute, what's he doing?
-[Cornette] He's coming back. -[Mr. McMahon] Hey, no. Look at this.
He's getting up and saying, "No, I don't want any more of this."
[Cornette] No, he didn't say that. He said, "Hold on."
He said, "I'm going to get a towel and wipe the sweat out of my eyes."
Wait a minute. Luger is coming up behind him.
[Mr. McMahon] Lex Luger coming up from behind.
-This match is not over. Oh, yes. -[Cornette] Oh.
[Mr. McMahon] Luger is taking it to Tatanka on the outside as well.
And look at this,
Lex Luger bringing Tatanka back to the ring the hard way.
[crowd cheering]
[Mr. McMahon] Tatanka is gonna
get what he deserves here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
[Cornette] McMahon, you're taking sides again
and that's something that I never do.
[Mr. McMahon] And look at--
[Cornette] I say that Tatanka is getting the raw deal.
[Mr. McMahon] Tatanka backing off, it won't work. Off the ropes and…
-[Cornette] Oh. -[Mr. McMahon] …big powerslam.
Yes, give it to him.
The rebel rack is coming up.
And Tatanka rolling to the outside.
And the referee is holding Lex Luger back.
Wait a minute, what's this though?
[Cornette] As he should.
[Mr. McMahon] Don't let it end this way.
Look-- The official trying to-- Lex Luger now.
Yes, bring Tatanka back. Don't let him go.
[Cornette] Oh, come on, Vince.
You're brutal. You're sadistic.
He's trying to get a breath out there
and Luger won't stay off of him.
[Mr. McMahon] Tatanka's gonna come in the hard way, yes.
[Cornette] Oh.
[crowd cheering]
[Mr. McMahon] And now, look at this,
Lex Luger with the Native American that sold out his people, look at him,
hammering his face into the buckle time after time after time.
And it's obvious the official is allowing a little more latitude
as it relates to the rules and regulations,
given the history of this match-up.
[Cornette] That's right, but this referee-- As a matter of fact,
Referee Earl Hebner, he realizes that there's been bad feelings
for some time and they need to be settled,
so he's gonna let these guys play
and give them some more reign to do what they want.
[Mr. McMahon] Lex Luger with Tatanka now,
with the opportunity to finish this thing.
Again, there's not a great deal of scientific skill
being displayed here by either athlete.
Wait, come-- Get him down from there.
Get him down. Oh.
[Cornette] Hey, he tried to hit Ted DiBiase.
-[Mr. McMahon] I just saw. -[Cornette] That's against the law.
You can't hit a man with money.
-You ought to know that. -[crowd cheering]
[Mr. McMahon] On the outside is Tatanka.
Tatanka on his feet.
And let's stay with this and--
He's leaving the ring area.
[Cornette] He's gotta go get a towel, I'm telling you.
-He's gotta go get a towel. -[Mr. McMahon] DiBiase and Tatanka.
[Mr. McMahon] Look at them looking back,
as if Lex Luger's on his way.
They're leaving. They've had enough.
They've had enough for this drumming.
Tatanka has been severely drummed and now he's been counted out.
And the winner of the match is Lex Luger.
[Cornette] This is an injustice.
I'm telling you, McMahon, Tatanka was gonna come back.
He was gonna finish fighting Luger.
He just had got to go get a towel and wipe the sweat out of his eyes.
That's all that happened.
[Mr. McMahon] A victory for Lex Luger
but you can bet Lex Luger considers this a shallow victory
because he wanted to pin Tatanka or make him submit.
Luger is still angry.
Here comes Lex Luger.
[Cornette] But he didn't get what he wanted.
[crowd cheering]
[Alfred] Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
People think I'm a little hotheaded.
Do you think it's the flames?
People think I'm excitable.
Do you think it's the Slim Jim?
You need a little excitement?
Snap into a Slim Jim.
[Mr. McMahon] We have more action coming up on Monday Night Raw.
Plus, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna hear from Lawrence Taylor himself.
Yes, there he is in our studios, preparing to…
-[Cornette] Apologize. -[Mr. McMahon] Preparing to--
[Cornette] He's preparing to apologize to Bam Bam Bigelow,
that's if he's a smart man.
[Mr. McMahon] I don't think so. Stay with us.
We're back. And you're looking at footage from this past weekend on WWE Superstars,
into the 20-minute over-the-top-rope battle royal.
And finally, Jerry "the King" Lawler was knocked out of the ring, but look.
[Cornette] He's only on one foot.
[Mr. McMahon] Yes, a page out of the book of Shawn Michaels.
It was going well for Lawler hopping and running like a kangaroo,
hoping that no one else on the inside of the ring would realize
that both feet had not landed, but "The Hitman" Bret Hart came out.
-Come on! Shut up! -[Mr. McMahon] And no matter what
Jerry Lawler did to try and stay away from Bret "The Hitman" Hart,
Bret, given their past history, just had to do something about it.
It was-- What was it?
It was foot stomping time.
-[crowd cheering] -[Cornette] Oh, no.
[Mr. McMahon] And thus, Lawler was eliminated.
[Cornette] That's terrible, McMahon.
Lawler would have won that battle royal if it hadn't been for Bret Hart
sticking his nose in.
Where does he get off coming in and trying to play footsie with Lawler.
He wasn't even in the battle royal to begin with.
I can't believe that the king of the World Wrestling Entertainment
would get cheated out of something like that
just because Bret "The Hitman" Hart,
besides being a sore loser and a crumb, is a racist,
and Lawler has stated that
and nobody else will admit it, but it's true.
I can't believe it.
-Holy mackerel. -[Mr. McMahon] This week,
Monday Night Raw is brought to you by new and bigger Stridex medicated pads.
It's simple pimple control.
All right. Owen Hart, one-on-one with Larry Santo.
However, Owen Hart has been looking for a tag team partner,
ladies and gentlemen.
He and a partner of his choice would like to have their chance
to face the Smoking Gunns.
The Gunns, after all, have been defending the championship
against just about every tag team
that was involved and the tag team tournament prior to the Rumble.
[Cornette] Oh, I don't know about that.
The Heavenly Bodies have yet to receive their chance.
[Mr. McMahon] What are you talking about?
-Please… -[Cornette] They haven't--
[Mr. McMahon] You know perfectly well
that the Smoking Gunns have successfully defended the title
against The Heavenly Bodies.
[Cornette] They have not.
[Mr. McMahon] What planet have you been on?
-[Cornette] I didn't see it. -[Mr. McMahon] Right.
[Cornette] I don't wanna argue with you, as long as you know I'm right.
But anyway, Owen wants a shot at it too, but he hasn't got a partner.
That's the difficulty.
Maybe I could work something out with Owen Hart.
[Mr. McMahon] You just might be able to.
Who knows? Larry Santo is slapped by Owen Hart.
And Santo now, doing exactly what Owen Hart wants him to do,
get carried away, forget about what you know about
the technical aspects of wrestling, and just make a fool of yourself.
[Cornette] Well, that's exactly what Owen Hart's strategy, isn't it?
It looks like Santo will probably buy it because after all,
Santo has a great history in this wrestling profession.
As a matter of fact, he's the son
of former Mexican wrestling personality El Santo.
A lot of people don't know that.
[Mr. McMahon] I don't believe-- Are you certain about that?
[Cornette] That's what I heard. I talked to his mother.
[Mr. McMahon] And apparently, Owen Hart complaining of a hair-pull,
which certainly, we did not see.
[Cornette] You know, I can hardly wait.
Coming up, LT, Lawrence Taylor, I know it,
I can smell it in my bones,
an apology is coming, LT's all--
He's unnerved by all this publicity yesterday.
-[Mr. McMahon] Who wouldn't be? -LT and Bam Bam story,
it was the cover story in the New York Daily News.
[Mr. McMahon] Matter of fact, yes, it was.
It was on the front page, ladies and gentlemen,
on New York Daily News, the-- Oh, my goodness.
The speculation continues to abound, rumors flying everywhere,
not only in the Daily News yesterday but also in USA Today.
Everyone's speculating as to whether or not there's going to be a match
between Bam Bam Bigelow and Lawrence Taylor.
And hopefully-- Oh, my-- We will get to the bottom of that issue
when we have Lawrence joining us momentarily.
[Cornette] Hey, I guarantee you, Lawrence Taylor isn't that stupid.
Lawrence Taylor is not that stupid
to try to physically match with Bam Bam Bigelow,
just like Larry Santo should've tried to do the same thing
with "The King of Harts" Owen Hart
because this is what he's getting for his trouble.
[Mr. McMahon] Forearm uppercut a moment ago, in complete control,
another one following up, is Owen Hart,
better known as The King of Harts,
winning an accolade at the last year's King of the Ring tournament.
Owen not having a great deal of luck with his tag team partner
Bob Backlund yesterday when the action goes--
-Oh, my. -[Cornette] No.
[Mr. McMahon] Owen having a great deal more luck individually here against Santo.
[Cornette] I've heard of having a monkey on your back, but this is ridiculous.
Santo can't get Owen Hart off the top of him.
And Owen Hart-- Well, there's the solution.
He's having a problem here in the referee's instructions.
That's why he accidentally broke the rules.
[Mr. McMahon] Yeah, I see, right.
Santo firing off with a right hand.
It didn't have much behind it at all, back to the corner now.
Owen Hart, a master technician,
although you don't often see those techniques.
And to the buckle,
Santo back out, he's almost out on his feet.
Look at this, a scoop and a slam.
[Cornette] He's staggering. He's in la-la land.
-He's down on the mat and--Oh. -[Mr. McMahon] Oh.
Dropping the leg is Owen Hart.
[Cornette] That was right across the jawbone.
[Mr. McMahon] And Owen Hart with a couple of fans there
in the front row area, which we did not see earlier.
I think they brought them in from Calgary.
Wait a minute, look at this, Owen Hart to the buckle.
Oh boy, let's see if Santo can follow-up. Yes, he does.
Santo now with a series of right hands to the midsection.
Santo setting up, here we go with Hart to the buckle.
-Uh-oh. -[Cornette] Uh-oh.
[Mr. McMahon] And Owen Hart racing a little bit to the outside as well.
Owen Hart quick as a cat going upstairs, high risk maneuver.
If he misses, this may cost him the match, but no.
[Cornette] He didn't miss him.
I don't know what got into Santo, but Owen Hart has successfully
nipped that in the bud.
Dropkick off the top rope.
[Mr. McMahon] And now let's see if we're gonna see the Sharpshooter.
Yes, indeed. If he can cinch it in? Yes.
-Owen Hart with a Sharpshooter… -[Cornette] Oh, yeah.
-…on his opponent Larry Santo. -[bell ringing]
[Mr. McMahon] And Santo wastes no time in submission.
[Cornette] There's no other way
that you can turn once the Sharpshooter goes on.
You got to get out of there and give up quick or else you'll end up with
two severely injured legs.
[Mr. McMahon] All right. Stay tuned, everyone.
Coming up next, you will hear from the one and only Lawrence Taylor,
the former NFL Giant,
indeed a man destined for the Hall of Fame.
We'll also hear from Bam Bam Bigelow.
[Cornette] And it's a good thing that Bam Bam and Lawrence Taylor
are in two different studios and two different states
or else-wise, the fur would fly.
[Mr. McMahon] Stay tuned everybody, one-on-one verbally Bam Bam and LT.
We're gonna get to the bottom of this.
Welcome back, everyone, to more Monday Night Raw.
Vince McMahon here, along with Jim Cornette,
and unquestionably, the rumors continue to abound.
I mean, it was just yesterday's front page of the New York Daily News
in which the Daily News said a match will be made at WrestleMania
between Bam Bam Bigelow and the legendary giant, Lawrence Taylor.
-And then… -That wouldn't be a match.
And then furthering that, even in today's USA Today Newspaper,
the rumors continue to abound.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, joining us in our studio
to put an end to all of these rumors,
the one and the only Lawrence Taylor.
Lawrence, thank you very much for joining us tonight.
-Thank you, Vince. -Let's take you back if we may,
before we talk about, uh, all these rumors.
Let's take you back to the Royal Rumble itself.
There you were at ringside, a guest of Diesel,
uh, enjoying the action.
Bam Bam Bigelow comes over and, um--
Well, we know the result of what happened.
You were shoved down on the concrete floor.
Bam Bam later claimed that you were there to disrespect him.
Do you feel in your own mind
that you showed any disrespect to Bam Bam Bigelow at all?
Well, not at all. You know, um,
I think he disrespected himself.
He just lost to a 13-year old.
Um, but I didn't really--
I wasn't there to disrespect. I wanted to see a match.
Um, I'm a friend of Diesel, like you said, and, um…
I was there for a good time just like everybody else.
Wait a minute. What stopped you from going after
Bam Bam Bigelow after he shoved you down
if you were just there for a good time?
What stopped you, huh?
Well, I thought about going after, uh, Bam Bam,
but, um, uh, that's not my nature.
I'm not here to fight.
I'm-- That's childish.
I think what he did was childish and, um,
I let him go and we'll settle it in other ways.
Well, speaking of that, it seems to me that the--
That incident, uh, at the Sun Dome in Tampa was,
no matter how you look at it, a rather embarrassing one,
certainly for the World Wrestling Entertainment.
And I would suggest an embarrassing one for you as well.
Well, embarrassing, so to speak, simply because, um…
I wasn't expecting that.
And if I was expecting that, I would've been ready for it,
but I wasn't expecting that.
And a lot of people, you know, they take the time out
and they acknowledged me out there.
And, um, the World Wrestling Entertainment
is very gracious in the beginning of the show.
You know, they showed me out there
and acknowledged myself being there.
But, um…
then when you just keep playing it over and over and over on national TV,
that's when it becomes really embarrassing,
especially when the fans actually know what's going on.
And, um, I wasn't pushed like that when I was in the NFL,
so I don't expect to be pushed like that right now.
Well, let's talk about that a little bit more.
And I would suggest that you have been barraged, have you not,
by so many, many fans who have said,
"Lawrence, what are you gonna do about this?
Uh, you know, how did it feel to be shoved by Bam Bam Bigelow?"
And yes, it was played over and over and over again.
To me, uh, I would suggest that you have been barraged, have you not,
by a number of individuals wanting to know what you're gonna do about this.
Yeah, a lot of people asked me, you know, what I'm gonna do and, um,
how does it feel to be pushed by Bam Bam, but, you know,
he pushed like a sissy anyway, so it didn't really hurt.
[all laugh]
-But, um… -[Cornette] Oh, come on,
that's a little uncalled for.
Well, whatever.
But, um…
I'm still weighing my options.
Uh, I've heard him about this big challenge and talked about
this challenge and everything.
I'm weighing my options. I'm gonna take my time
and I'll decide what I'm gonna do.
But whatever I decide to do,
I know it'll be the right thing for Lawrence Taylor.
Well, along those lines, Bam Bam has, uh,
made a number of accusations, Lawrence,
uh, among them is that--
Again, we thank you for joining us tonight,
but among those accusations is that you have been,
if you would bear with us, hiding behind, uh, your agent,
-your manager, your attorney. -[Cornette] Say it!
He's scared. He's hiding behind his manager,
hiding behind his agent, hiding behind everybody, scared.
Are you scared or what?
-Tell the world. -If I-- Hey,
if I get scared, I call the police.
You haven't heard me calling the cops, did you?
So I'm not scared of nobody.
No man in the world am I scared of, especially Bam Bam Bigelow.
And not you either.
Uh, what do you think of Bam Bam as an athlete?
Well, to tell you truth, the guy is a big guy
and I think he's a tremendous athlete for his size.
Uh, I've seen him get up on that top rope and he do a lot of amazing things.
Um, as far as athletes goes,
he's a tremendous athlete.
What about then, Lawrence, as a human being,
what do you think of, uh, Mr. Bigelow as a human being?
Well, I really can't-- I really don't wanna go into his, um--
How he is as a human being. I am…
Hey, hey, wait a minute. Everybody has catered to Lawrence Taylor.
Who is this clown?
Everybody wants to know
what Lawrence Taylor has on his mind.
I wanna get to the facts.
I wanna get to the truth.
I wanna find out what really happened
from the guy that I care who's--
Who gives his opinion and I'm talking about my friend Bam Bam Bigelow.
As a matter of fact, Bam Bam, I know you're out there on the hook-up.
-Can you hear me, Bam Bam? -Yes.
Yes, I can, Jimmy. I hear you loud and clear.
And, you know, I also heard what Lawrence Taylor had to say.
He had to say I was beat by a 13-year old.
Well, the 1-2-3 Kid, he's not a 13-year-old.
He's a member of the WWE.
It's the new generation.
-And in the WWE, anything can happen. -True.
And as far as me as a man, Lawrence Taylor,
I'm more of a man than any man you're ever gonna meet.
[coughs]
[Mr. McMahon] Yeah, well, it seems to me you're choking up
a little bit here, Mr. Bigelow.
-I mean, this is your opportunity. -…it's not choking up, you know.
Uh, what I hear is I hear from Lawrence Taylor's attorney.
I hear from Lawrence Taylor's manager.
That's all I'm hearing.
Now I'm finally hearing from Lawrence Taylor.
And what I got to hear from Lawrence Taylor…
You don't wanna hear from me.
You don't want to hear from me.
Listen, Lawrence Taylor, you don't scare me.
-Nobody scares me. -Uh-huh.
And if you think I pushed you like a sissy, let me tell you something.
When I pushed you, that was one tackle that you did not make.
And if I was a football player on the line,
-I would've retired you a long time ago. -I'm still--
I'm right here, brother. I'm right here.
Yeah, you're right there and I'm right here.
And unfortunately, I'm not "I Dream of Jeannie"
and I can't snap my fingers and be there.
But one day, I'm gonna be there.
And at the Harley Davidson Café, I'm gonna be there.
And the question is, Lawrence Taylor, are you gonna show up?
Are you gonna be there?
Are you gonna tell the world
what we want to hear or what I want to hear?
Hey, I'll be there, brother.
-You be there… -I'll be there.
…because I'm gonna be there, Lawrence Taylor.
And I want you to accept my challenge
because if you're the man
-that you say you are… -Don't forget to wear your dress.
…you're the man that you say you are, then you're gonna have to prove…
-[Mr. McMahon] All right. -…to me…
-[Mr. McMahon] Thank you. -…and the world
what kind of man you really are.
-I'm Bam Bam Bigelow. -[Mr. McMahon] Thank you.
-Thank you. -I'm the Beast from the East.
Yes, indeed. Thank you very much for joining us,
-Bam Bam. -Taylor ran off again.
Did you see that?
Lawrence Taylor ran off again.
And, ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back
as we continue with more Monday Night Raw.
Stay with us if you would, please.
-[bell rings] -[Mr. McMahon] We're back.
Ladies and gentlemen, Lawrence Taylor,
yes, walking off the set,
but he'll be walking in the press conference
tomorrow at 12:00 noon in the Harley Davidson Café, New York City.
And by the way, if you can't be there, there is one way to know
what's going on and that's the WWE Superstar Line.
And you can hear it, ladies and gentlemen, as the press conference unfolds.
Yes, hourly updates from Jim Ross live from the Harley Davidson Café
beginning at 12:00 noon tomorrow,
the number 1-900-737-4WWE.
It's open seven days a week, 24 hours a day,
and it will cost you an investment of a $1.49 per minute.
You must be 18 years of age or have your parents' permission before calling.
And again, reminder, that's 12:00 noon Eastern Time, the beginning,
ladies and gentlemen, of the coverage of the WrestleMania press conference live
from the Harley Davidson Café in New York City.
Save yourself a little time and money by pressing
option number six on the Superstar Line. Okay.
[Cornette] I wish I could save myself a little time and money
and aggravation not having to look at Doink and Dink anymore.
These clowns are so annoying. They're always so happy.
They're smiling and they wanna have fun.
Wake up. Look at the world,
crime, famine, pestilence, heartbreak, disease,
there's nothing to be happy about.
[Mr. McMahon] Uh, my goodness,
what a pessimistic view of what's going on.
There's something to be happy about right there.
[Cornette] I'd hate to have the view Bob Cook just had.
-That's disgusting. -[Mr. McMahon laughs]
Doink and Dink always with a few laughs.
And, uh, what a sense of humor, it's a little uncanny a bit.
-Uh-oh. -[Cornette] Yeah, a couple of yucks.
[Mr. McMahon laughs]
By the way, at the press conference tomorrow, of course,
the WWE Champion
"Big Daddy Cool" Diesel himself, who has, uh, certainly been defending
the WWE Championship up until now with a great deal of success,
and now we'll look forward to WrestleMania
as he defends the title against Shawn Michaels.
[Cornette] And speaking of which, Shawn and Psycho Sid
will be there at the press conference tomorrow also.
-Hey, wait a minute, what is this little… -[Mr. McMahon laughs]
-Oh, look out. -[Cornette] What is this little…
rolling goofball doing?
Get him out of the ring.
-[Mr. McMahon] Doink and Dink… -[Cornette] Somebody get a broom.
[Mr. McMahon] …after the match-up, allegedly heading down to New Orleans.
It's Mardi Gras time.
[Cornette] They'll fit in there with a bunch of weird people
wearing funny outfits, walking around on public streets.
That fits Dink and Doink right straight down the line.
But you know something--
[Mr. McMahon] I know something.
I know that you stated Diesel would not make it to WrestleMania
as the WWE Champion and you were wrong.
[Cornette] Well, I didn't think he would.
But now, he's finished all the defenses that he had contract signed for,
so I guess he's going to WrestleMania.
[Mr. McMahon] Uh-huh. And to face Shawn Michaels.
But now Sid in the corner.
Hip toss, nicely done by Cook.
And a kick out by Dink-- Make that Doink.
And a nice drop toehold.
So just because you were wrong once,
it doesn't mean you have to be wrong for the rest of the evening.
[Cornette] Hey, listen. Let me tell you something right now.
All I know is Shawn Michaels has got to now have
the psychological advantage
because of the fact that he's got Sycho Sid in the corner.
[Mr. McMahon] You're one of those 71%, aren't you?
[Cornette] 71% of what?
[Mr. McMahon] The Harris Poll.
[Cornette] What are you talking about?
[Mr. McMahon] 71%, according to Harris Poll,
ladies and gentlemen,
people over the age of 25 are overweight.
-And that means more men than women too. -[Cornette] Hey!
I resent that.
[Mr. McMahon] You resemble that, yes.
[Cornette] I'm not overweight. I'm just spread out a little bit.
[Mr. McMahon] Go ahead. Have it your way, you and The King.
[Cornette] I usually have it my way.
[Mr. McMahon] Armbar, ladies and gentlemen,
-Doink and-- -[Cornette] I like mayonnaise.
-[Mr. McMahon] Mayo? -[Cornette] Yeah.
[Mr. McMahon] Doink in complete control.
[Cornette] Very high in fiber.
[Mr. McMahon] Wait a minute. Who's your nutritionist?
[Cornette] Huh? Dr. Siegfried.
[Mr. McMahon] Doctor-- Hey, that's that same doctor
in Tampa who amputated the wrong leg.
[Cornette] No, no, that's my general practitioner.
But I don't usually see him. I visit Nurse Gronowski.
[Mr. McMahon] In any event, Doink with a few wrestling maneuvers,
into the hammerlock, and there's Dink--
-[Cornette] What are we talking about? -[Mr. McMahon] I don't know.
You're all discombobulated
because of that press conference tomorrow.
[Cornette] Well, I think Bob Cook's gonna win here for one thing and another thing,
WrestleMania is coming up and I'm all in a tizzy.
[Mr. McMahon] Ooh. And a slam by Doink the Clown, drops the elbow.
Doink, what's he doing now?
Doink to the outside, out by Dink.
Will we see and will we hear the dreaded Whoopie Cushion?
-[Cornette] Oh, no. -[Mr. McMahon] Here we go and--
-[farts] -[Cornette] Oh.
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, we certainly did.
-[laughs] -[bell ringing]
[Mr. McMahon] A three count and Doink the Clown,
ladies and gentlemen, along with his little sidekick Dink,
very successful here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
-[Cornette] Vince… -[Mr. McMahon] What?
[Cornette] …what do you suppose is it that makes that noise?
[Mr. McMahon] Oh.
["Clown" playing]
[narrator] Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
[rock music playing]
[narrator] WWE Raw is War.
[Pettengill] For the past several weeks, The British Bulldog
has been experiencing a Royal pain in the form of Shawn Michaels.
It all began with last month's Royal Rumble.
Shawn Michaels drew the number one position,
The Bulldog number two.
Both superstars endured the grueling match,
eliminating competitor after competitor
until unbelievably,
they were the last two remaining men in the ring.
Who can forget Shawn's dramatic narrow escape
when he was thrown over the top rope
and just barely missed touching both feet to the floor?
Certainly not The British Bulldog, who prematurely celebrated
the victory that was not to be.
Never one to be humble,
Shawn Michaels has been gloating ever since.
Finally, this past weekend on WWE Superstars,
The Bulldog got another chance to prove himself, a Battle Royal.
This time, all the competitors began at once.
And at once, Shawn Michaels eliminated himself.
Shawn claims he did it to save himself
for his title match at WrestleMania.
But who was he saving when he attacked The Bulldog later on?
The Bulldog persevered and went on to win the Battle Royal.
Next week on Monday Night Raw,
two of the world's most accomplished wrestlers,
Shawn Michaels and The British Bulldog finally meet one-on-one.
Or will they?
Who knows what role Shawn's new bodyguard Sid
will play in the match?
Let's get back to the action.
-[bell rings] -[Mr. McMahon] Next week,
two of the very best in the World Wrestling Entertainment,
Shawn Michaels one-on-one with The British Bulldog.
What a match-up here next week on Monday Night Raw.
However, speaking of great competitors,
this man, Kama, calls himself the Supreme Fighting Machine.
Anyone who calls himself that best be willing to back it up.
[Cornette] Oh, I guarantee you.
He does call himself the Supreme Fighting Machine
and that means that in his mind,
he makes Bruce Lee look like a choir boy.
-[bell rings] -He makes Jean Claude Van Damme
looks like a boy scout.
He has trained his body so that every part of it is a lethal weapon
and he's a submission specialist.
He loves to hear the opponent say, "I quit."
[Mr. McMahon] Nice takedown, nicely done indeed and a little whip
of the back of the head there and Raper backing off.
[Cornette] That's psychological warfare.
He took Ken Raper down, rode him a little bit, slapped him around,
now the man is demoralized before the match even gets hardly started.
[Mr. McMahon] Raper now, should not attempt to match strength--
Nice maneuver there.
Nice takedown indeed and Kama lets Raper back up.
[Cornette] The thing about this Kama is he's so quick for a man his size
and he's got the technique to go along with brute strength.
He's saying he wants competition.
I think it might be interesting.
Maybe he can try my Mantaur because--
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, look at that.
But a little slow on the mark there.
Raper with a roundhouse right
-and another one. -[Cornette] See?
[Mr. McMahon] Kama shakes it off.
[Cornette] He don't faze the guy.
[Mr. McMahon] Oh. Look at that.
[Cornette] My Mantaur is over 400 pounds and he's got that shake to him.
Kama wouldn't be able to do that to Mantaur.
[Cornette] But it's just an interesting, intriguing thought, I don't know.
[Mr. McMahon] Yes, and using his feet as well as his hands.
Kama was quite impressive a moment ago
with the use of the fist there in the corner.
Kama Mike Tyson.
All right. It's that time again, ladies and gentlemen.
A little drum roll if you will-- Oh, my.
[Cornette imitates drum roll]
[Mr. McMahon] How about reading these promo copies?
-Here we go, USA. -[Cornette] Absolutely.
Coming up, a cryogenic computer system forces Jake
to confront death by deepfreeze on an all-new tech war.
Coming up next on USA, don't miss it.
[Mr. McMahon] You have won the price.
[Cornette] What did I win?
[Mr. McMahon] Well, a weight watcher or something.
-I don't know. -[Cornette] Wait a minute.
I'm not overweight, I'm just under tall.
[Mr. McMahon] A scoop and a slam there…
-[Cornette] That's what I've been told. -[Mr. McMahon] …by Kama.
And no doubt, the person who told you that is Mantaur.
Dropping the elbow, Kama. Kama all over Ken Raper.
Kama "The Supreme Fighting Machine," and thus far,
I think you'd have to agree with him.
[Cornette] Well, I guarantee you.
-Kama has punctuated… -[Mr. McMahon] Oh.
[Cornette] …this match with a variety of high impact maneuvers.
-And Ken Raper, obvious-- -Is this the best competition I can get?
[Cornette] See? He's asking.
-[Mr. McMahon] All right. -I want competition.
[Mr. McMahon] We got that very clearly.
[Cornette] And he's got a point.
[Mr. McMahon] Next week, we're gonna have all kind of competition
with The British Bulldog against Shawn Michaels.
Michaels, no doubt, the pressure is on Michaels, I believe,
to prove himself what went--
Oh, look at-- Look at that.
-[Cornette] Kicks to the head. -[Mr. McMahon] Oh.
[Cornette] Side kicks, a vicious punch.
[Mr. McMahon] And The British Bulldog is standing by to speak about the match-up
next week, considering Shawn Michaels with now--
Well, you called him Sycho Sid.
I suppose that's what a lot of people are calling him.
[Cornette] That's what everybody I know calls him.
But now, let me ask you this. Why do you think
Shawn Michaels has something to prove?
Michaels doesn't have anything to prove, it's Bulldog.
Michaels was the Royal Rumble winner.
That is not competition.
[Cornette] …that's going for the title at WrestleMania.
Bulldog, in my opinion,
is the one that needs to prove that he can be housebroken.
[Mr. McMahon] Notwithstanding a superstar line,
we will do what we can to cover
-the press conference of tomorrow. -This is not competition.
-[Mr. McMahon] Yes. -I want some.
[Mr. McMahon] All right. Talk is cheap. Although I must say,
Kama has really been showing us a number of martial art moves
on all of his opponents.
[Cornette] Exactly. And more importantly than that,
he has a lot of wrestling technique.
You saw him with several different takedowns, several different maneuvers
of chain wrestling, and now wait, what's he going for here?
It looks like a belly to belly, yes.
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, yes, indeed and nicely done indeed.
Kama "The Supreme Fighting Machine" pretty much taking care of Ken Raper.
[Cornette] This guy can wrestle. This guy can fight.
If it's hand-to-hand and one-on-one and man-to-man,
Kama says he does it better than anybody will.
-[bell ringing] -[Mr. McMahon] And Raper wastes no time
at all in submission.
You can bet that sooner or later, hopefully sooner,
Kama will get his request and will get better competition.
Then we'll see whether or not he's worthy of the name
the Supreme Fighting Machine.
All right, standby, everybody, because scheduled up next,
The British Bulldog.
We're gonna talk to "Davey" Boy Smith.
Welcome back, everyone, to more Monday Night Raw.
Vince McMahon here, along with Jim Cornette,
big smile on your face, why?
Lex Luger and Native American Tatanka, we saw them in action earlier.
And Tatanka didn't quite get as much
as I believe he should've gotten from Lex Luger.
They've written a book about Lex Luger, it's called Great Wrestling Moves.
It's the world's shortest book, two covers, no pages.
-Why did Tatanka run? -Tatanka didn't run.
He remembered he had something to do.
I'm just excited about next week.
What a matchup next week.
Shawn Michaels is going to bob the tail of The British Bulldog,
along with his new bodyguard Sycho Sid.
Eh-eh. "Mother." "Norman."
-[laughs] -Standing by now, ladies and gentlemen,
The British Bulldog "Davey" Boy Smith.
-Davey, are you there? -Yes, Vince.
All right. Let's talk about the match-up next week.
You one-on-one with Shawn Michaels and his bodyguard, what about it?
I'm looking forward to facing Shawn Michaels on Monday Night Raw.
We've got a little score to settle for what he did to me at the Royal Rumble.
I know he's gonna have his new bodyguard Big Sid in his corner,
but it's gonna take more than you, Shawn Michaels,
and you, Sid, to take The Bulldog down.
Monday Night Raw, I'm taking a bite out of The Heartbreak Kid.
What a match-up that's going to be next week.
And of course, ladies and gentlemen, we will chronicle all the events
to take place at tomorrow's press conference at the Harley Davidson Café.
Oh, I'll tell you what better happen.
LT better get on one of those Harley Davidsons, vroom-vroom,
and putt-putt his butt on out of there
because if he doesn't apologize, Bam Bam Bigelow is gonna be hot.
You expect Lawrence Taylor to apologize at the press conference tomorrow?
Is that what you really expect?
It's a good possibility.
-It may happen if he's smart. -I don't think so.
I think there's gonna be a confrontation.
Standing by, Todd Pettengill.
What do you think about the press conference?
Well, Vince, let me start by saying this.
It is certainly gonna be the highlight of my professional broadcasting career.
Tomorrow, at noon Eastern,
I will be hosting this WrestleMania XI press conference.
And you talk about everybody being there, every media source you can think of,
ABC, CBS, NBC, UPI, AP, everybody is gonna be there.
Plus, if they're not there live via satellite,
they'll pick this thing up 'cause it's being fed to the entire world.
It is gonna be huge.
We're gonna talk about the celebrities that will be at WrestleMania XI.
We'll talk about the matches.
As a matter of fact, some WWE superstars will be there as well.
Talking WWE Champion,
"Big Daddy Cool" Diesel, Shawn Michaels will be there.
Bam Bam Bigelow, you know is gonna be there,
and as we heard earlier tonight, LT himself,
Lawrence Taylor will be at this press conference
tomorrow at noon in Manhattan, baby,
New York City, the media capital of the world at the Harley Davidson Café.
The public has been invited to attend.
However, if you can't make it,
remember, all you have to do is call the WWE superstar line.
Jim Ross will be there.
He'll be filing hourly updates all afternoon.
Just pick up the phone,
dial 1-900-737-4WWE
to get your update.
For Vince McMahon and Jim Cornette,
this Todd Pettengill for Monday Night Raw. n.
