[narrator] The World Wrestling Entertainment, for over 50 years,
the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.
They say fame is fleeting.
In the World Wrestling Entertainment, sometimes so, too, are friendships.
This past weekend, on the WWE World Tour de Force,
Razor Ramon and the 1-2-3 Kid, once, and perhaps still,
the best of friends,
had several unfortunate confrontations, shall we say,
leading interim WWE President Gorilla Monsoon
into speculating about the 1-2-3 Kid's impartiality
as the guest referee tonight.
Thus, Mr. Monsoon is taking no chances.
Why, this morning, he declared that tonight's Razor Ramon-Sycho Sid match
with the Kid as guest referee will no longer be for the title.
The saga unfolds tonight on Raw!
[intro music playing]
-[siren blaring] -[crowd cheering]
[McMahon] Welcome, everyone, to Monday Night Raw!
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley looking down at his crest in the squared circle.
He could be looking down into a mass of slop,
however, this week on Raw.
I'm Vince McMahon, along with Jerry "The King" Lawler, and yes,
it's gonna be the Hog Man against Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you, somebody's gonna get slopped.
Have you got something to put up in front?
That would look good on you, McMahon.
[McMahon] The 1-2-3 Kid, the guest referee
when Sycho Sid squares off against the Intercontinental Champion
in a non-title matchup, Razor Ramon.
[Lawler] I don't like this. This is a moronic Monsoon decision,
to let the Kid referee this match. It's not fair to Sid.
[McMahon] Last interview,
the "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel, the WWE Champion
and Bret "The Hitman" Hart watching the tourneys.
Yes, it all is coming down tonight on Raw.
And somebody's gonna be slopped.
You said the slop would look good on me.
It would look good on you, Jerry "The King" Lawler.
However, last week we saw the slop down on Henry Godwinn.
Because Henry Godwinn,
after the match, was attacked by Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
Helmsley gave the hog farmer the Pedigree, and then dumped the slop on him.
[Lawler] That's right, McMahon, and the 1-2-3 Kid
got slopped in Long Island last Friday night.
[McMahon] Yes, he did, and he blamed Razor Ramon for it.
And then in addition to that,
more animosity between them in Massachusetts notwithstanding,
Razor shoved the Kid down in the Meadowlands just last night.
[Lawler] I still don't like Monsoon's decision.
[McMahon] Here we go. Hog farmer Henry Godwinn up on…
Whoa, look at this.
A knee knocks hog farmer Henry Godwinn off.
[bell ringing]
[Lawler] And the bell has rung. Look out, Helmsley coming out the side.
And Henry Godwinn is paying the price at the moment.
Watch this! Oh! A vicious Hunter Hearst-Helmsley
ramming Henry Godwinn to the steps.
Right back in underneath the rope.
[Lawler] He's vicious, McMahon, but he's also clever.
Look at that. What… He's brilliant. He's a royal!
[McMahon] He's one of the royals who will face,
along with you, The Undertaker's wrath at the Survivor Series.
Oh, come on. Enough with this perfume. Come on.
[Lawler] Spray some here on McMahon!
[McMahon] You leave McMahon out of this.
Hey, wait a minute. Hey. Wait a minute, is he gonna bring…
If Henry Godwinn brings that bucket into the ring,
there's gonna be an automatic disqualification!
[Lawler] Get in there, ref. Get that bucket.
[McMahon] What's he gonna do with that bucket?
He's gonna dump it on Helmsley. That's what he's gonna do.
-Somehow, Helmsley's got… -[Lawler] My gosh!
[McMahon] Unbelievable!
-Henry Godwinn has slopped himself… -[whooping]
…and is now calling the hogs!
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh! Look at that!
The Hog Man's covered with that sour, curdled milk, the pieces of moldy bread.
No, don't let him touch you, Hunter! Get out of there!
-[McMahon] Wait. -[Lawler] Don't touch that filth!
-Ooh, that… -[McMahon] Look at this!
Tripping on his slop,
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley has… He's slipped again!
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh! Unbelievable!
[McMahon] The referee goes down,
and Hunter Hearst-Helmsley slipping and sliding,
trying to get away from the hog farmer.
And the race is on!
Look at this! Can you believe? We've seen it all now.
-[Lawler] Oh, my… -[McMahon] Look at that. Unbelievable.
[Lawler] To that Hog Man, that's a crowning achievement.
And then look at this!
[McMahon] That's an achievement. We're taking you to the slam jam!
[man] Milton Bradley Karate Fighters
presents the World Wrestling Entertainment Survivor Series Slam Jam.
[Lawler] Hey, Dok! Dok! Look out! Hunter and the Hog Man are on their way,
-and you might get slopped! -Where?
[McMahon] Dok, take it easy. Take it easy, will you?
Everything is gonna be all right.
They're back in the locker room area. In control.
Everyone is gonna be all right. But nonetheless, I mean,
a fellow razorback I know who's gonna be right there
in the presidential box at the Survivor Series,
he might get slopped, however.
[Lawler] If the government shuts down, he should be slopped!
And he might have 17,000 people in attendance that would approve of that,
but let's talk about Survivor Series. We know it is this Sunday night.
It's live on pay-per-view,
and it is the World Wrestling Entertainment,
and that should say it all, but the title match,
Bret against Diesel, those stipulations.
I'm gonna go on record, I think they favor Diesel,
and I think we're gonna see him successfully defend his title,
but I can't wait for that face-off interview
coming on later in the program, man.
That's gonna be great, but let's talk about the wild card match for a second.
I mean, you've got those diverse personalities
that have to put aside their differences if they want to survive
in this first-ever historical wild card match.
Look at the teams. Shawn Michaels, Ahmed Johnson, Sycho Sid,
and the British Bulldog, all on one side.
Now, let's take you back to Superstars this weekend,
when Sycho Sid and The Million Dollar Man confronted James E. Cornette
and the Bulldog about loyalty.
You may have been my friend, my buddy and my pal,
but there's two men in the other corner that you also manage,
and I'm telling you right now, Jim Cornette, and he's telling you, too.
Don't cross us.
[laughs] You see what I mean? They're already distrusting each other!
Not sure if loyalty is gonna be spread around.
Let's talk about the other side.
How about Dean Douglas, Yokozuna, Owen Hart,
and the Intercontinental Champion, Razor Ramon?
I got to say, I think this match could be a match within itself.
-What do you think? -[McMahon] No question about it, Dok.
Thanks very much for Survivor Series. We look forward to seeing you this Sunday.
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
Yet to come, the man who body slammed the 600-plus-pound Yokozuna,
Ahmed Johnson warming up, preparing for his matchup.
That and of course, face-to-face "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel
and "The Hitman" Bret Hart. Stay with us.
[McMahon] We're back, and right now let's take a look.
He's not the biggest, he's not the baddest,
but unquestionably most resilient WWE Superstar in the world today.
He is Shawn Michaels.
[Gorilla] Due to the severity of Shawn Michaels' concussion,
I have asked Shawn Michaels to publicly forfeit
the intercontinental belt to me tonight.
I had to do it in front of the whole world.
Just wasn't an easy thing to do.
[McMahon] There he is. The most flamboyant,
the most charismatic, WWE Superstar
in the world today! Shawn Michaels!
I am the most exciting athlete in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[McMahon] Michaels! Look at that athleticism! Unbelievable!
I'm willing to go out there and lay it all on the line.
[McMahon] Look at this! Oh, my goodness!
From what I understand, this is America,
and I can do whatever the heck I want.
[crowd cheering]
[McMahon] Andre Agassi, eat your heart out.
[Shawn] I don't think being big makes you good.
I think being good makes you good.
For years, people told me that I was too small
and I wasn't gonna make it,
and I've shoved it in everybody's face, and I've enjoyed doing it.
There is no mistaking that I want to go out there and steal the show.
[McMahon] Yes! Michaels can electrify this capacity crowd for sure!
What can I do tonight to make those people come out of their seats?
What can I show these people that they haven't seen?
What can I do to make sure that when the fans
of the World Wrestling Entertainment file out of this arena,
the one name that sticks in their mind is Shawn Michaels?
[McMahon] Anaconda versus Shawn Michaels.
Leading, ladies and gentlemen, the wild card matchup, the wild card team,
into the Survivor Series,
and teaming up with this man, King, Ahmed Johnson. You have to be impressed.
[Lawler] I'll admit it. I am impressed.
Look at that guy. Even his muscles have muscles.
[McMahon] And he means business, I can tell you that.
Jake Steele one-on-one here tonight on Raw, with Ahmed Johnson,
and, King, you're not the only one impressed with Ahmed Johnson.
Did you see the look on the kisser of The British Bulldog two weeks ago?
Why, he just backed right off from the confrontation with Ahmed,
-and you don't often see that. -[Lawler] Don't jump your guns there.
I've heard from Cornette that if Ahmed gets out alive
in this wild card match, Bulldog will take care of it.
[McMahon] Imagine that. Shawn Michaels, Sycho Sid,
The British Bulldog, and Ahmed Johnson against Dean Douglas,
Yokozuna, Owen Hart, and The Bad Guy.
[Lawler] That match is liable to start in the locker room.
There's no way these teams are gonna get along.
[McMahon] Wild card matchup, the first one ever
at the Survivor Series this Sunday night.
Ahmed with a clean break and a handshake from Steele.
Not exactly.
Jake Steele against Ahmed Johnson.
Thing about Ahmed, he is really, really focused on every single match.
Ahmed locking up with Steele, now. Backs him to the corner.
Pushes that chin way back, and referee asks for the clean break,
and Ahmed says, "All right."
Uh-oh! And turns his back on Steele!
Ahmed Johnson now being pummeled by Steele.
To the buckle, and Steele with a clothesline!
Uh, Steele with a…
[Lawler] Get out of there, Steele!
[McMahon] Steele with a right hand, and that had an effect on Ahmed Johnson,
but it just may make him angry,
and I don't think that's a smart thing to do.
Then again, there are a lot of unknowns about Ahmed Johnson.
I mean, we've only seen him here in single competition.
What about in tag team competition? What do you know about Ahmed?
What does Ahmed know about Shawn Michaels? We spoke to Shawn Michaels earlier.
Here's what he had to say.
Finally, The Heartbreak Kid can look at a friendly face on his team,
so to speak. Ahmed Johnson, after I saw you slam Yokozuna,
I know for sure that this Sunday at Survivor Series,
with your strength and my athleticism, you and I will definitely survive.
[McMahon] You have two other individuals in that tag team
that may have something to say in that wild card matchup,
and by the way… Oh, look at that.
While you're here, next week… Whoa. Big news.
Shawn Michaels in action
on Raw, here next week against The King of Hearts. Ooh!
[Lawler] I can't wait to see that. All this talk about Shawn Michaels.
Everybody's thinking he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Wait 'til you see what Owen Hart
-has in mind for Shawn Michaels. -[McMahon] Wow!
I think we just saw what Ahmed Johnson had in mind
for his opponent, Jake Steele.
[Lawler] Why does he have to wag that tongue around?
[McMahon] It's just a nervous habit.
Like Michael Jordan going up… Wait, let's go back,
take a look at this feature.
Ahmed Johnson, and watch what he does to Steele! Whoa!
Devastating maneuver.
In complete control, standing over Steele, Ahmed Johnson.
Here we go, now. Watch this.
Ahmed Johnson, double underhook. Here it comes!
Ahmed Johnson with Steele, and… Oh! Tiger Bomb! Two, and lights out at three!
[bell ringing]
[McMahon] What an athlete. Ahmed Johnson
teaming up with Shawn Michaels,
along with The British Bulldog and Sycho Sid,
one half of that wild card team, this Sunday night on pay-per-view!
[crowd whooping and cheering]
Ahmed Johnson. We'll get a word with him.
Let's take another look, now, at that awesome Tiger Bomb.
[Lawler] No way I want to be on the receiving end of those.
[McMahon] If that happens to Dean Douglas, Owen Hart, or The Bad Guy…
Do you think he could do that to Yokozuna?
We're gonna get a word with him in 30 seconds. Ahmed, over here!
All right, tremendous victory on that, Johnson.
Here this week, and the body slam.
Body slamming Yokozuna. Unbelievable.
Headed, of course, to the Survivor Series this Sunday.
Best of luck to you.
What I got to say, Sid, Bulldog, I'm telling you, baby,
do not come in that ring half stepping, G!
'Cause if you do, I'm gonna break your arms something proper.
[McMahon] Thank you very much.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's take you over to Barry Didinsky!
Vince. Check it out.
You know, something that every true WWE fan wants every year
is the WWE calendar,
and I am very, very happy and proud to be able to show it to everybody first.
Here it is, the 1996 WWE calendar with "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel on the front.
Real quick, we're gonna flip it open so that you can see
some of the WWE Superstars…
-[McMahon] There's The Hitman! -Bret Hart.
[McMahon] Yeah, what month am I?
Uh-oh, look at that.
-[McMahon] Big Daddy! -"Big Daddy Cool" Diesel.
-[McMahon] Where's my month? -[Lawler] Your month?
How about The Undertaker, and how about Shawn Michaels right here?
The Heartbreak Kid. But of course, you know,
that's not all you get in this package. Because in addition
to getting the calendar, you also get Big Daddy Cool's gloves.
Here they are. They are real. They're the same one he wears in the ring.
This is not all.
To complete the WWE calendar package, you'll also get…
-[McMahon] What's in his pocket? -…Big Daddy Cool's sunglasses.
-[McMahon] Hey! -Right now, 1-800-TITAN-91
for only $21. The calendar, the gloves, the glasses.
Back to you at ringside.
[McMahon] In a moment, the interview we promised you
with "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel and Bret Hart.
However, we're looking at footage now.
Diesel and Bret Hart in the ring at the same time.
Bret Hart had caused a disqualification in the Bulldog-Diesel matchup…
Leading to the match we will see this Sunday, and there they are! Stand by!
Face-to-face, coming at you.
[narrator] One man is the most honored athlete in entertainment history.
The excellence of execution is gonna bring you down.
The other, the leader of the new generation.
[Diesel] We're gonna find out who's the best.
[narrator] Their previous encounters were marred by injustice…
[Lawler] Look at this carnage. It's like a back alley gang fight!
[narrator] But this time, the laws have changed.
The match can only terminate in a pinfall or submission.
[narrator] The champion…
I'm gonna take care of you once and for all.
-The challenger. -Diesel, the truck stops here.
-The title. -[Bret] Your reign's coming to an end.
[narrator] The Survivor Series, November 19th, live on pay-per-view.
[man] I don't like your odds.
[McMahon] King, you'd agree this is likely to be
a turning point in both individuals' career.
[Lawler] Somebody's got to go up, somebody's gonna go down.
One thing's for certain, neither are gonna be the same after this.
[McMahon] Thank you for joining us.
This Sunday, it all happens at the Survivor Series,
and if you don't mind, Big D, let's start with you.
How do you respond, Diesel, to the phraseology
that Bret Hart is the best there is, the best there was
and the best there ever will be?
Everybody in the World Wrestling Entertainment
is entitled to their opinion.
I think Bret's one of the best there has ever been,
but right now Big Daddy Cool's kind of got a hold of that belt,
and I think I'm pretty darn good.
[McMahon] So you think, of the two, obviously you're the best there is?
Right now, definitely.
[McMahon] And as it relates to, the best there ever will be?
That's to be seen.
[McMahon] Bret Hart, how do you respond to the fact
that many would say justifiably,
"Big Daddy Cool" Diesel is known as the leader of the new WWE generation?
I don't know what that makes me, then, you know?
Again, we're going back to a time.
We go back to Survivor Series, when I lost
the World Wrestling Entertainment championship belt to Bob Backlund.
You know, I've always had a problem with that.
That my mother, who was never designed, or supposed to be at the ring,
to be an official in any way in that match,
and I've always had a problem with the fact that I lost that title,
and to me,
I should've always been the champion from that point on.
I don't think I've really lost the title in a true sense,
and when we had our big knockdown drag-out
at the Royal Rumble, again,
you're talking about a situation where no winner was declared,
and Diesel, you know, went off
with the World Wrestling Entertainment championship belt,
and I don't think he didn't beat me, you know?
I don't think that anything was settled.
I jackknifed you.
Yeah, but you didn't pin me.
Yeah.
[McMahon] With all due respect, Bret, neither did you beat him.
For the same reason, but I don't think it's a coincidence
that after that match, I mean, I don't doubt for a second
that that was the hardest match Diesel had.
Of all the matches I've seen him have, I think that was the hardest fought,
the toughest fought,
and I didn't get a rematch after that, and…
I don't remember him asking for one.
Don't toot your own horn.
Shawn Michaels gave me a run for my money, too.
[McMahon] It all comes down to this Sunday, gentlemen,
and it sees as though the temperament here with both of you seem to be a bit on edge,
and I wonder if there isn't a bit of professional jealousy involved here.
Is there any professional jealousy, Bret Hart, with you
as it relates to the current WWE Champion, Diesel?
None. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Diesel.
I think he's a great wrestler.
You know, I think that to have held the championship and defended the title
for as long as he has, for over, I think it's over a year, now.
[McMahon] About a year.
…is a remarkable accomplishment,
but I will say this much for Diesel in reference to Shawn Michaels,
I think Diesel's done very well against big guys that are his size,
but when it comes to technical wrestling,
that skilled, technical type of wrestlings,
I think he just got by this much by Shawn Michaels, if that at all,
and with me, it was the same thing.
You're talking about technical wrestling, fast, skilled.
You know, and after 15 or 20 minutes, big guys tend to run out of steam,
and that's where I come in. That's where I'm at my best.
Is at the 20-minute mark, and Diesel's great.
He's a great champion, but you know, I noticed that, again,
going to technical wrestlers, he's picked, you know,
his opponents so that the technical ones aren't getting title shots.
I think that was The Bulldog's big beef, too.
[McMahon] How would you respond, Diesel?
When I won the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship,
I'd said I'd take on anybody.
And the first person I took on was Bret Hart.
I mean, if I was trying to dodge a technical wrestler,
the last person I would want to get in the ring with would be Bret Hart.
I don't see me dodging anybody.
I wrestled Shawn Michaels, I wrestled Owen Hart.
I wrestled anybody and everybody that wanted to come along.
[McMahon] We come to this rematch. This is the third time.
The rubber match, if you would.
There's no time limit, no disqualification.
There's no countout.
Will Big Daddy Cool survive the Survivor Series as the WWE Champion?
And if you will, how do you think you will?
I'm gonna go with my strengths.
I don't get paid by the hour here, so I'm gonna try to knock him out,
and knock him out quickly.
I'm gonna use my power.
I'm gonna use my size, my leverage.
I'm not going out there to win on points in a collegiate wrestling match.
I'm going out to do what Big Daddy Cool does best.
That's beat people up, and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
[McMahon] And, Bret, with the no disqualification provision,
although it seemed that you were the aggressor in the second match
to a certain extent more than Diesel was,
but doesn't this concern you that if things get ugly,
if things get nasty,
aren't you concerned about what a man that's over seven feet, over 300 pounds,
can do to you?
Um, absolutely.
I mean, I don't doubt for a second that this is gonna be
one of the hardest fought matches I've had,
and based on the last two, I mean, the first one was a knockdown drag-out,
and a second was a knockdown drag-out, and basically the second match, you know,
I applied the same medicine that was given to me in the first match,
and nothing's been settled in either battle, and you know,
again, I think my strengths are that I got to take this match as far as I can.
I got to try to wear Diesel down, which is no easy task,
and I think I've got certain strategies that I tried in the first
and the second match with Diesel, and you know,
it's really hard to come up with something different,
because he's kind of caught on to whatever strategies I've got,
but I've always got tricks up my sleeve, and the one thing about The Hitman
is that The Hitman's sort of like a Timex watch.
I take a licking but I keep on ticking, and the more time that goes in this match,
the more trouble Diesel's gonna be in.
[McMahon] Let's talk about the experience factor to "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel.
You have been on a skyrocket, if you would, in your career
here in the World Wrestling Entertainment, and all the way up
to winning the World Wrestling Entertainment title,
and now you possess that accolade for almost a year now.
In terms of momentum,
in terms of your ambitions,
tell us what you feel you can give the World Wrestling Entertainment
with a victory over Bret Hart.
What does that mean to you if, in fact, that happens?
Bret Hart has been here for ten years.
He's been a cornerstone of the World Wrestling Entertainment.
He's been the epitome of a true professional, the true champion.
Two times, in my estimation, I've jackknifed him,
and two times there's been outside interference that's hindered me
from making the cover.
I mean, the question lies in my mind, can I beat this man?
I'm not gonna say that he hasn't given me two dogfights,
we haven't been through two wars.
I'm not gonna say that, 'cause it's been a war.
There's gonna be one again.
The thing is I'm bigger, stronger, and smarter than I was in January.
[McMahon] Bret, one final question to you.
You've done it all. You've done it all twice.
Two-time WWE Tag Team Champion,
Intercontinental Champion, World Wrestling Entertainment Champion.
What makes Bret Hart tick?
Why does Bret Hart reach for this brass ring one more time?
Is it the money? Is it the glory? What is it, Bret? What's driving you?
It's certainly not the money, and I think what it really comes down to
is there's a certain point in your life where your memories, you know,
they become more important than your dreams,
and there's a certain time where you reach that,
and I haven't reached that yet, and last year I was interrupted
with my World Wrestling Entertainment championship ring, and I was interrupted,
and I got one title shot.
No winner was declared, and as far as I'm concerned,
for the last year Diesel's been walking around with my title,
my championship belt, and it's time to find out
who is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.
[McMahon] It is all about memories. It is all about dreams and about ambition.
The best of luck to both of you this Sunday night.
Thanks, Vince.
[McMahon] Here we go. Yet to come, The Bad Guy against Sycho Sid
with the Kid, special guest referee.
[Lawler] Something I've been dreaming up for years.
-Me and you, McMahon, hand-to-hand combat! -[McMahon] I'm ready.
[narrator] He is an award-winning broadcast journalist.
He, the self-proclaimed King of commentary.
Their war of words has escalated into a battle of the broadcasters.
When you put your cents' worth, you aren't overcharging.
All right, Thunderfoot, stick your foot right down his throat.
I gotta warn you. I know karate. Come on, Skullcrusher!
-Kick his toupée off! -[bell ringing]
[narrator] The match is officially underway.
With Milton Bradley Karate Fighters, the power is in your hands.
Oh, it's over! It's all over! The King reigns supreme!
Let's take another look. And there!
You clearly see the right forearm knock Thunderfoot off his pedestal.
But wait, what's this?
Oh! It looks as if Lawler has descended to a new low.
-You cheated! -You got to be kidding me!
That video was doctored.
-That was trick photography. -No, wait. Look.
Skullcrusher's foot is taped to the pedestal.
He has an ingrown toenail.
Well, you and all the Royals are gonna have ingrown crowns
after this Sunday,
-when The Undertaker… -[bell tolling]
…returns to the Survivor Series.
[narrator] You can be sure this will be settled
when Milton Bradley Karate Fighters presents the Survivor Series.
[McMahon] Well, that was only a commercial.
However, ladies and gentlemen…
We're talking about royalty,
and we're talking about the return of The Undertaker, King.
[Lawler] That's going to be the real deal at Survivor Series.
And just like you didn't think I could beat you,
The Undertaker don't think that the Royals can beat him,
-but it's going to happen. -[McMahon] Is it?
[Lawler] Yeah, just like the 49ers did to Dallas.
Yeah. What about that?
[McMahon] Everybody remembers what King Mabel did to The Undertaker
time and time
-and time again. -[Lawler] Yeah.
[McMahon] Over and over.
Of course, The Undertaker suffering that crushed face.
As a result of all of that, what is The Undertaker going to look like?
How gruesome, how intimidating
is The Undertaker going to be after Survivor Series?
[Lawler] I can only imagine, McMahon, that it's horrible.
His face is gonna be disgusting.
We're gonna rearrange it.
And, you know, that can only be an improvement.
[McMahon] Is that right? Here now pre-recorded comments from The Undertaker.
-[The Undertaker] This Sunday night… -[bell ringing]
…you come face to face
with the evil you released.
And vengeance
will be mine.
[laughs evilly]
[Lawler] I couldn't see his face. What's his face look like?
[McMahon] More importantly, we're gonna find out what-- Oh!
What your face, what Mabel's face what all the Royals' faces look like,
when you get a good look at The Undertaker.
Mabel. Right now.
Going to work on Roy Raymond.
-[Lawler] I'm not gonna be scared. -[McMahon laughs] Please.
-[Lawler] I'm not! -[McMahon] Yeah, right.
I wouldn't want to be a Royal, that's for sure.
Not this Sunday night. And Raymond being whipped into the post.
And huge Mabel-- Oh! Look at that!
Five hundred and sixty-eight pounds of Mabel.
[Lawler] Starting to look like something got loose
from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
I love it. I want him to be as big as possible
because he's going to come down on The Undertaker
time and time again at Survivor Series.
And then you've seen the last of The Undertaker once and for all.
[McMahon] I don't know about that. And-- Whoa!
What a maneuver by Mabel.
I should say, King Mabel, He's the king.
[Lawler] He's the king!
[McMahon] All the king's horses and all the king's men
won't be able to put the Royals back together again, that's for sure.
Not when The Undertaker unleashes his full fury.
[Lawler] All I can say is at Survivor Series,
I hope they have a good first-aid room
as they're gonna be carting the dark side out of the ring, left and right.
[McMahon] Is that right? By the way, on the WWE's Superstar line
Jim Ross, on option number six,
talks about some of the injuries to some of the Superstars,
participating in the Survivor Series 1-900-737-4WWE.
Remember, it's $1.49 per minute.
Oh, my goodness! Wow!
But you must be 18 years of age
or have your parents' permission before calling.
And billing does not begin until you choose your option.
That's option number six to find out who's been injured
and what effect that may have on the outcome of the Survivor Series.
[Lawler] Well, I think you can get ready
to add Roy Raymond in this injury list here.
[McMahon] Raymond has been pummeled by King Mable.
[Lawler] Right. And I love it.
[McMahon] Well, I don't think you're gonna be loving it
this Sunday night.
King Mabel!
-[Lawler] Look, look. -[McMahon] A crown.
-[Lawler] Speaking of crowns… -Yep.
…the king of crowns, my royal dentist, Dr. Isaac Yankem, DDS.
He's got some special plans for The Undertaker, too.
He's gonna knock all The Undertaker's teeth out. [laughs]
[McMahon] Oh! Look at that maneuver by Mabel. Yes!
King Mabel joining forces with Jerry "The King" Lawler.
[Lawler] Yes.
[McMahon] American blueblood Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, whom we saw earlier
who's cleaning off the slop, by the way.
He may bring some of that slop, get it out of his clothes.
[Lawler] We will have to hose him down.
[McMahon] And Isaac Yankem, the royal dentist.
Isaac Yankem, DDS.
What a combination.
However, on the dark side…
[laughs] Oh, my goodness.
Oh!
And Raymond having big time problems.
And here he comes.
-[crowd gasps] -Oh!
Mabel eclipsing Roy Raymond.
However, I predict you Royals are going to be abandoning each other.
Much like a Cleveland-- Oh, no! Look at this!
Abandoning Cleveland.
[Lawler] Wait till you see we're going to do to the Dark Side
what the people that clean it would like to do to our hotel.
[McMahon] That Raymond's loss is Bombard's gain.
Unfortunately, just like the Royals loss
will be the Dark Side's gain at the Survivor Series.
[Lawler] See, McMahon, showing ignorance again,
and by the way,
I got a couple of New York Jets playoff tickets I'd like to sell you.
-[McMahon] Oh! -[Lawler] Yeah! If you don't buy them,
the Jets may be moving too.
[McMahon] Moving?
[Lawler] And speaking of moving,
did you hear what they're doing at Harrods department store?
-[McMahon] Oh! -[Lawler] In England?
[McMahon] Harrods department store in England.
[Lawler] Yeah, they're charging customers--
-Look at this. -[McMahon] Oh!
[Lawler] They're charging their customers a dollar and a half
just to go to the bathroom.
[McMahon] I don't understand. What's that have to do with movement?
-[Lawler whoops] -Never mind.
There he is, ladies and gentlemen, there's movement for you.
King Mabel moving all the way to the Survivor--
I'm the king!
[McMahon] He's the king. But speaking of that head of state…
[President Clinton] My fellow Americans, our future is bright.
The World Wrestling Entertainment has given us
a great, wholesome family entertainment.
Together we can reach a new plateau.
And the new WWE generation will lead us there.
[narrator] Join Mr. President live from our nation's capital
for the greatest night in sports entertainment.
Milton Bradley Karate Fighters presents the WWE Survivor Series,
this Sunday night on pay-per-view.
So, join my family
and watch the WWE Survivor Series.
[McMahon] All right, The 1-2-3 Kid in the squared circle right now.
He is the official guest referee, ladies and gentlemen.
Yes, Big Kid officiating a match-up
between Sycho Sid and "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon.
All right, Sycho Sid on his way to the squared circle.
This man is scary. No question.
Two men into the ring.
One man survives.
And that man is me.
Your master.
[McMahon] Oh, my.
Sycho Sid on the team of Shawn Michaels,
the British Bulldog, and Ahmed Johnson.
Yes! Up next.
Here we go.
Razor Ramon, just how bad is The Bad Guy?
I think we're about to find out,
one-on-one with Sycho Sid tonight on Raw. We'll be back.
[McMahon] We're back with more Raw.
Let's take you back to this past weekend.
The WWE tag team title is up for grabs,
and Billy and Bart Gunn taking it to the 1-2-3 Kid.
The cover, the count.
And Razor Ramon coming in to help the Kid out.
Not once, Razor Ramon would come back for a second time.
Yes, a certain pin there, but no!
Razor, risking disqualification, until finally,
Razor Ramon for the third time saved
what was going to be a certain pin on the Kid.
Disqualified, and the Kid didn't like it, did he?
[Lawler] I guess not.
And the Kid also didn't like getting slopped
in Long Island this past Friday.
-That was Razor Ramon's fault. -[McMahon] It wasn't his fault at all.
It doesn't matter whose fault it was.
Gorilla Monsoon, perhaps, making a wise decision,
making this now a non-title matchup
because not only in Long Island, Friday night,
but also in Massachusetts and in the Meadowlands last night,
the Kid and Razor having a few bad vibes.
[Lawler] Okay, okay. There's a little friction between the two.
Hey, nobody gets along all the time.
But I don't like this Monsoon speculating.
He got a crystal ball or something?
He thinks he knows what the Kid's thinking.
I don't think so.
[McMahon] Just being a little cautious, nonetheless.
Sycho Sid I'm sure quite upset over Gorilla Monsoon's decision,
Sycho Sid six one on one with "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon
and the 1-2-3 Kid the guest referee.
[Lawler] Hey, hey, look.
I think I saw the Kid just give Razor the "Hi" sign.
[McMahon] What do you mean?
-[Lawler] See! Look at this. -Oh, yeah!
[Lawler] This is sad, McMahon.
Monsoon has fallen for this hook, line and sinker.
The Kid and Razor are like two peas in a pod.
And they have set up The Million Dollar Man,
the Corporation, and Sycho Sid.
[McMahon] You might be right. Who knows?
Anything can happen in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
The Million Dollar Man looking on to the only four-time
Intercontinental champion.
[Lawler] Look, look, look.
-He's smiling at the Kid. -[bell ringing]
[McMahon] So they have their differences
but you can bet Razor will not be smiling at Sycho Sid.
[Lawler] I'm just saying this is not fair.
This is like having Don King referee one of Mike Tyson's bouts.
[McMahon] Well, you always said it takes a king to know a king.
Right. That's what it's about. Intercontinental title.
However, this is non-title, ladies and gentlemen.
And again, Gorilla Monsoon making a very cautious decision here.
-[Lawler] Yeah. -[McMahon] Sensing that
something might be rotten in Denmark.
-[screams] -Goodness!
Sycho Sid
hammering away to the midsection of "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon.
[Lawler] You heard what Sid told the Kid, didn't you?
-[McMahon] I did, indeed. -[Lawler] Shut up!
-[McMahon] And the 1-2-3 Kid… -Shut up!
…will not be intimidated by Sycho Sid.
Off the rope, Razor Ramon is around. A hard right hand!
Razor trying to clean the clock of Sycho Sid down goes Sid!
-Yeah. -[Lawler] Oh, my goodness.
-All the way to outside. -[Lawler] Get in there.
[McMahon] Disqualify him! He left the floor.
[Lawler] What?
He just stood there smiling when Razor Ramon's fists were flying,
[McMahon] Sycho Sid.
Wait a minute! From behind!
Sycho Sid on the opposite side.
Oh, wow!
And Sid-- Right, look out!
Razor Ramon again hammering away.
Sycho Sid set up, no reversal, coming off the rope
underneath the roundhouse from the other side and a big boot!
Oh, yeah!
And applause there, live.
The Million Dollar Man sending Sycho Sid into action
-with Shawn Michaels… -Shut up!
[McMahon] The British Bulldog and Ahmed Johnson at the Survivor--
Wild card match-up!
And Razor Ramon on the opposite side!
Cover! One. Two.
Hey, wait a minute.
An impartial 1-2-3 Kid.
You might be right. Gorilla Monsoon.
Uh-oh! Over the hip, nicely done.
[Lawler] Good move, oh, wow!
[McMahon] That scissor kick-out. Look at that new pump there by--
-Oh, no! -[Lawler] Here we go.
[growls]
[McMahon] Chokeslam to the canvas!
-[Lawler] Wow! One-handed. -[McMahon] I'm impressed.
[Lawler] See, this is not fair.
Sycho Sid is prepared for this match.
He's ready to beat Razor Ramon, and then, when he does,
he won't get the title.
[McMahon] Sycho Sid hearing the boos from this capacity crowd.
If I were Sycho Sid I would stay right on top of Razor Ramon.
Don't give The Bad Guy a second to recuperate.
Look. Here's another look at it.
-Take a look at this. -[Lawler] Pretty.
[McMahon] Look at the awesome power. One-handed, Sycho Sid and…
Down to the canvas.
With authority.
The Kid right back in there and again, we said the Kid would not be intimidated.
He better not try to shove Sycho Sid around.
Sycho Sid testing the patience I believe of the guest referee.
-Oh, no, come on! -[Lawler laughs]
What? What? I didn't see anything.
[crowd cheering]
[McMahon] The Million Dollar Man getting involved here behind the 1-2-3 Kid's back.
-Sycho Sid in control. -Ah!
And Sycho Sid down with a boot to the chest area.
[Sid shouting]
[McMahon] And again, as I said before,
they will uphold each other,
in tag team action,
elimination tag team action,
wildcard elimination tag team action
at the Survivor Series this Sunday night.
Wow! My goodness!
Double action again. Look at Sycho Sid.
Just ramming that right fist
right into the small of the back of "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon.
And look at that.
Ted DiBiase loving every second of it.
-[wrestlers grunting] -[Lawler laughs]
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] What's the Kid saying? What?
[McMahon] And yes, this capacity crowd very much behind The Bad Guy.
Oh! On the receiving end of another boot.
Sycho Sid pouring it on.
Sid. Oh! My goodness! With another hard right hand.
Sycho Sid hammering away
and he is actually out-powering Razor Ramon.
[Lawler] What did you expect, McMahon?
[McMahon] I didn't know what to expect.
[Lawler] Ramon's only hope in this match
was having the 1-2-3 Kid as his pal referee.
[McMahon] Razor with a hard right hand and another one!
Look at this! Razor now… whips Sycho back.
-[Lawler laughs] -[McMahon] Oh, no, no!
And Sycho Sid, is on his game here tonight on Raw.
Sycho Sid with a victory over Rayzor Ramon
unquestionably would catapult his status.
He would be the number one contender for the Intercontinental title.
[Lawler] Yeah, but, thanks to Gorilla Monsoon,
he won't be the Intercontinental Champion.
[McMahon] Razor Ramon
trying to collect himself, get himself together here.
The Kid distracted there on the outside,
by "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase
Razor Ramon back up on his feet. Maybe not for long now.
Sycho Sid sets him for the ride.
-[Lawler screams] -[McMahon] What a knee!
-[crowd cheering] -[McMahon] Boot to the midsection.
Razor, here we go.
-Razor has it. No! -[Lawler] Look at this!
[McMahon] Jump over the top. Unbelievable.
[Lawler] That's it. That's it.
[McMahon] Razor Ramon catapulted over the top.
Sycho Sid now with an opportunity all over--
Wait a minute.
Taking DiBiase on the outside! Again behind the Kid's back.
Ted DiBiase putting the boots to The Bad Guy.
Come on, turn around, Kid.
Wait a minute. What's he doing out here?
What's Dean Douglas doing on his way to the ring?
[Lawler] Here he comes.
[McMahon] He's Ramon's tag team partner in the Survivor Series.
What's gonna happen?
Welcome back to more Raw. Sycho Sid-- Oh, wait a minute.
Dean Douglas attacking Razor Ramon on the other side of the ring.
The Kid arguing with Sycho Sid and--
-[Lawler] Oh! -[McMahon] Oh, no!
Come on!
Come on, the Kid's got to get involved here.
Even DiBiase up there with the Kid along with Sycho Sid on the outside.
-However… -[Lawler] Look at Dean Douglas go!
[McMahon] He's putting a boost on. I can't believe this.
[Lawler] Razor Ramon is getting his master's degree
from the school of hard knocks right now.
[McMahon] Dean Douglas has no business being out there at ringside.
They are actual tag team partners at Survivor Series.
Douglas trying to seek a measure of revenge
from the last In Your House.
[crowd shouting]
[McMahon] Razor Ramon!
Oh, no!
Looking up at this monster.
[indistinct shouting]
Sycho Sid!
-[Lawler] Oh! -[McMahon] No!
[Lawler] Get him in the ring and finish him, Sid.
[crowd shouting]
[McMahon] And Razor Ramon's in trouble. Big time trouble.
Trouble enough from Sycho Sid on the inside of the ring,
but then compound that
with the interference of Dean Douglas on the outside!
-Come on! -[crowd cheering]
[McMahon] "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon
being put to the test here
on the eve of Survivor Series.
-[crowd cheering] -Back in the ring!
[Lawler] He just beat the count by the Kid.
[McMahon] Oh!
I'm not so sure it was a wise decision. A lesser man would have stayed outside,
taking the defeat as a count-out.
It's a non-title matchup.
-My goodness! -[Lawler] Maybe a smarter man.
[McMahon] Sycho Sid with an opportunity to finish off The Bad Guy.
Succession of forearms into the lower back area.
And Razor Ramon is in bad shape.
Oh! Look out! What's this? Down and--
Suplexed down to the canvas!
That'll do it.
One, two… A count of three.
No, no, no!
-Only two. -[crowd cheering]
Come on, Kid!
And again, an impartial count on the part of the 1-2-3 Kid.
And Sid now,
getting ready to… No!
-[Lawler] Ooh! -Devastating maneuver.
-[Lawler] This is it! -[McMahon] Cover! Two.
No!
Left shoulder barely up. Barely.
[Lawler] Come on, Kid. You can count to three. That's your name.
[McMahon] And Ted DiBiase, taking exception
to what apparently thought was a slow count
on the part of the 1-2-3 Kid.
[man in crowd] Come on! Get up, Razor.
[McMahon] Sycho Sid is punishing Razor Ramon.
[Lawler] This will be the ultimate.
If Razor Ramon has to say those words to the 1-2-3 Kid,
"I quit, I give up."
Make him do it, Sid!
[McMahon] Oh, look at this. More punishment now. Yes!
Sycho Sid pouring it on!
[crowd cheering loudly]
[Lawler] Listen to these morons. Make them shut up!
[McMahon] Razor Ramon in big time trouble
as he has been almost all the way through this matchup.
-[Lawler] Look at-- -[McMahon] Unbelievable!
-[Lawler] What is he doing? -[McMahon] Look at that!
-Razor Ramon with the drop! -[Lawler shouts in awe]
-[McMahon] Sent right on his head! -[crowd cheering]
Two!
[McMahon] The Kid beginning the count.
No movement from Sid, The Bad Guy trying to get up.
This is… This is the opportunity for Razor Ramon.
Let's take another look at it now.
[Lawler] Cannot believe it. Look how far Sid falls…
Right on the back of his head.
[McMahon] Devastating. He's out.
Almost as devastating as Razor's Edge.
Look at the look on the face there of Razor Ramon.
The eyes going back into his head.
And unfortunately for The Bad Guy, Sycho Sid has recovered.
Sycho Sid now in the corner.
Sycho Sid charging and-- No. Big boot to the midsection.
[Lawler] Come on, McMahon.
Even you got to be impressed with Sid.
How did he withstand that blow?
[McMahon] I am impressed with Sid, equally impressed with Razor.
-Yeah! -[Lawler] Oh!
[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] Uh-oh! -[McMahon] Yeah, look on his face.
-And Razor dives! -[Lawler] Oh!
[McMahon] Sycho Sid now, cover!
One, two. And it's over!
It's… No, it's not quite.
[Lawler] That was a quicker count by the Kid, you got to admit.
[McMahon] No, I thought it was the same count.
If anything, even slower than The Bad Guy.
With momentum now, Razor setting up Sid. Reversal, off the rope, and…
-Look at him, caught! -[Lawler] No! No!
-[McMahon] In the middle of the ring. -[Lawler] Wait a minute.
-[McMahon] The Razor's Edge! -He can't get him up.
He's got him!
[McMahon] Nothing can stop The Bad Guy.
-[Lawler] Wait a minute! -[McMahon] Sid with a boot to midsection.
[Lawler] Wait. Did you see what the… What the Kid did?
[McMahon] The powerbomb. Yes!
[Lawler] Hold it!
[McMahon] The-- Hey, wait.
-This is ridiculous. -[bell ringing]
Fast count, a fast count by the 1-2-3 Kid.
[Lawler] Do you know what, McMahon? Monsoon was, right!
[McMahon] I can't believe this.
The 1-2-3 Kid pulling Sid off the Razor's back.
And then from there, that fast count.
Something's up here.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] I can't believe it. Monsoon was right. Look what the Kid did.
Look at him.
And Ted DiBiase stuffing money down the throat of…
A five-dollar bill.
[Lawler] Canadian five-dollar bill.
[McMahon] The 1-2-3 Kid, I think has shown his true colors.
He picked up the money and put it in his pocket.
And that's what it's all about. The Kid's been bought. That's what it is.
Gorilla Monsoon was right all along.
Wow, that stinking, rotten little turncoat.
The Kid sold out.
The color of money.
Ted DiBiase's money.

[McMahon] We're back and gonna try get a word with Ramon,
but we have a camera back with Razor's teammates.
Gonna take you there in a moment.
The replay of the Kid, taking Sid off of the back of the Razor's Edge.
Then from there, the powerbomb.
Watch how fast the Kid counts. Watch.
-[Lawler] It was great! -[bell ringing]
[McMahon] It wasn't great.
After all, Razor Ramon did, that sniveling Kid.
I can't believe the Kid would turn his back like that.
I can't believe the Kid would take Ted DiBiase's dirty money.
[Lawler] Believe it, McMahon.
You saw it with your own eyes. What do you think of it?
Huh?
[McMahon] They say anything can happen.
I guess we just saw something happen we thought we would never, ever see.
The 1-2-3 double crossed Razor Ramon.
[laughs] I always knew you could bank on the 1-2-3 Kid.
Hey, maybe he's The Million Dollar Kid from now.
And what do you know?
Looks like Razor got his money's worth. [laughs]
Razor Ramon joining a number of individuals
in this tag team elimination matchup this Sunday night at Survivor Series.
A matter of fact standing by right now we have Jim Ross.
I can't believe what you…
Why did you attack your own… He's going to be your partner.
Razor's your partner at the Survivor Series.
I'll tell you why he did it.
Because number one, he ought to be the Intercontinental Champion.
And number two, it was our way of--
Hey, hey, come on!
[indistinct shouting]
Come on! Come on. ng]
