[McMahon] From Green Bay, Wisconsin,
welcome, everyone, to Monday Night Raw.
Vince McMahon here along with Jerry "The King" Lawler
in the squared circle.
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley goes one-on-one in a non-title matchup
with the new Intercontinental Champion, Ahmed Johnson.
What about it, King?
[Lawler] Well, McMahon, you wanna talk about the great Green Bay Packers?
You're talking about the past. Let's talk about the future.
And to me, Ahmed Johnson's future doesn't look too bright.
-["Pearl River Rip" playing] -And here he comes,
the new Intercontinental Champion, Ahmed Johnson,
the man who just last night defeated Goldust
for the Intercontinental Championship.
Here he comes.
[Finkel] Ladies and gentlemen,
the new World Wrestling Entertainment
Intercontinental Champion,
Ahmed Johnson!
[McMahon] And take a look at him.
Ahmed Johnson with the Intercontinental Championship
right around his waist.
Let's take you back to last night. What a celebration.
Ahmed Johnson greeted by a host of WWE Superstars.
Look at that, right after the matchup.
Yeah, Shawn Michaels there, champion to champion.
It was an extraordinary event just last night.
[fireworks exploding]
Ahmed Johnson ready to rock the house live from Green Bay, Wisconsin.
-That's what it's all about! -[crowd cheering]
["Pearl River Rip" playing]
Ahmed Johnson in single competition,
non-title here against Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
-Should be a great matchup… -[bell ringing]
…to kick things off here tonight on Raw.
[Lawler] Yeah. It's just a shame…
that Ahmed Johnson riding the crest, winning the title,
has to have his first opponent, the Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
-[chuckles] -Oh, really?
[Lawler] Yeah. It's a shame for Ahmed.
He's gonna have his first defeat as champ-- Whoa.
-[McMahon] There you go. -Hey.
[McMahon] A little test of strength. I'm not surprised
Hunter would wanna test Ahmed Johnson.
-[Lawler] He's pulling his hair, McMahon. -Oh, sure he is, right.
Better clean up your monitor a bit.
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, a very cunning and athletic individual
as Hunter now goes to the midsection.
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley trying to find a measure of getting the big man down.
That's what he's gonna have to do is get Ahmed Johnson down on the canvas.
Top wrestling, right down to the canvas again, Ahmed Johnson, the armbar.
Oh, my goodness. What an ovation.
I thought the roof was gonna come off the MECCA last night
in Milwaukee when Ahmed Johnson defeated Goldust.
That was a roar I'm sure you will remember, will you not, King?
Uh, and something else you certainly would remember
is your matchup with The Ultimate Warrior.
[Lawler] Oh, come on.
[McMahon] There we have it, ladies and gentlemen.
Yes, tonight, Ahmed Johnson
one-on-one with Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, plus The Undertaker who lost last night
to Mankind against The King of the Ring himself, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Lawler] That's right, McMahon.
And Sunny is gonna join us tonight for commentary while her former tag team,
The Bodydonnas, are in action with their new manager, Cloudy.
[McMahon] Also tonight, ladies and gentlemen, Six-Man Tag Team Match
and yes, Jim Cornette's team against the team lead by Savio Vega.
Outstanding action here tonight on Raw, and Ahmed Johnson
cranking it up just a little bit more now on one Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
[Lawler] I couldn't believe that last night, McMahon.
-I mean Goldust… -Couldn't believe what?
…had to resuscitate Ahmed Johnson again last night
and what thanks did he get?
-[McMahon] You know the thanks he got. -Thorough beating.
[McMahon] The Pearl River Plunge, that's the thanks he got.
Ahmed Johnson set up now-- No, hanging on.
[Lawler] He has got to be pulling his hair. He's not that strong.
Hey, Harvey Wippleman, clean your glasses.
[McMahon] And Ahmed Johnson with those vice-like arms, look at that.
Oh, my goodness. He is really put together.
Ahmed Johnson, Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, and Helmsley yet to figure out some sort
of way to get the big man down.
By the way, Ahmed Johnson will be involved,
ladies and gentlemen, in a Six-Man Tag Team matchup.
It was announced last night in Milwaukee.
Ahmed teaming up with The Ultimate Warrior and Shawn Michaels.
More on that later on.
Coming off the rope over Helmsley now.
From the other side, Hunter Hearst-Helmsley,
trying to get him over the hip. Another block.
Ahmed with that clothesline! Oh, my goodness.
-[speaking indistinctly] -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Come on, Hunter. You're gonna have to use your quickness.
You're faster than he is. Use it.
[McMahon] And Helmsley almost decapitate--
-Decapitated there by Ahmed Johnson. -[Lawler] Get out of his way.
[McMahon] Look out. He pulled the rope.
-Ahmed Johnson. -[Lawler] Yes!
-What did I tell you? -[McMahon] On the outside.
[Lawler] That's what it's gonna take.
That's why you're gonna see Hunter Hearst-Helmsley victorious.
-Hey, McMahon. -I'm told we have standing by
the man who lost the Intercontinental Championship
and we'll get to that in just a moment.
-[Lawler] Get him. Wow! -Oh. Wow! What a maneuver.
Baseball slide there and Ahmed Johnson suffering…
-[Lawler] He's out. [chuckles] -…the consequences.
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley. Look out.
-But Ahmed to the steel steps! -[Lawler] Oh, man!
Look out, Julie. Be careful.
[McMahon] Right out in front of us.
-[Lawler chuckles] Yes. -[crowd booing]
Take a look at this vision of loveliness
that has accompanied Hunter to the ring tonight.
Julie Bernardi. This is great, isn't it, Julie?
[laughs]
[McMahon] Ahmed Johnson having his problems now
as anyone would against a very determined Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
A victory here for Helmsley obviously would put him
in contention for the Intercontinental title himself.
[Lawler] And what a fashion profile.
I don't think Ahmed's earrings match his tights. [laughs]
-Pound him, baby. -[McMahon] Helmsley with Ahmed.
-Look out to the other-- -[Lawler] Oh!
[McMahon] Into the ring post.
And this matchup getting almost as physical
as some of the action that we saw
in the Ahmed-Goldust match just last night.
[Lawler] Go ahead and admit it, McMahon.
You didn't think Hunter would give him this battle, did you?
I told you what Hunter can do.
[McMahon] Helmsley now up on the apron, cat-like--
Uh-oh, going up to the top.
-Hunter Hearst-Helmsley… -[Lawler] Here we go.
…and he connects down to the small of the back…
-[Lawler] Yes. -…of Ahmed Johnson.
A scoop, a cover here, one, two, and…
-[Lawler] He got him. -…a kickout by Ahmed Johnson.
[Lawler] What in the world? Where'd they get--
You know where they got the idea for slow motion?
Watching Harvey Wippleman to make a count.
-[McMahon] Look at this. -Watch the face.
[McMahon] All over Ahmed Johnson.
Watch the fist, Helmsley. No offense now.
[McMahon] Hunter Hearst-Helmsley,
very aggressive here tonight live in Green Bay.
[Lawler] Yeah.
[McMahon] Standing by now, ladies and gentlemen,
we have Goldust and-- Well, there is--
There is Marlena and Goldust.
It must feel strange to see, uh, Ahmed Johnson come to the ring
with what was your Intercontinental Championship belt
that is-- As of last night.
And I'll be back.
[McMahon] Oh, really?
The Terminator, 1984.
-[Lawler] Yeah. -Last night at King of the Ring,
I made a mistake of my life by trying to save Ahmed Johnson's.
Well, now Mandingo,
I vow to end it.
[McMahon] What about the matchup you have with The Undertaker?
Talking about to end it, your career took a turn for the worse last night.
It could be buried by The Undertaker in Vancouver.
We have one, two, and a kickout by Ahmed.
What about The Undertaker, Goldust?
Buried?
I've already buried him in his own casket.
Huh. This time,
I'll drop him in the ground, in the earth,
and shovel dirt on his poor, pathetic soul.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[McMahon] And should we remind you
that you're not allowed around the ringside area here.
Goldust, ladies and gentlemen, who knows what he's gonna do?
Who knows what's gonna happen here in the World Wrestling Entertainment?
Goldust trying to make it.
-[Lawler] He may come out. -Ahmed back up on his feet.
[McMahon] We're back with more action.
Hunter has really been taking it to one Ahmed Johnson here tonight live on Raw.
Ahmed Johnson…
-[Lawler] Admit it. -It's been 24 hours…
[Lawler] He's a beaten man.
[McMahon] He was beaten last night
and took a great deal of toll unquestionably on one Ahmed Johnson
-to defeat Goldust and… -[Lawler] Look at this.
…I must say, taking on Hunter Hearst-Helmsley,
even though it's non-title, give credit to Ahmed Johnson,
-an extraordinary competitor… -[Lawler] Oh!
…who made history-- Oh, my goodness, just last night.
And Helmsley, driving right back in.
[Lawler] And what a celebration they had back in the locker room, huh, McMahon?
[McMahon] Ah, an extraordinary celebration for sure,
[Lawler] Champagne flying around…
[McMahon] Look at this, Ahmed firing up now.
Ahmed with Helmsley down.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Come on, Helmsley. There you go.
All that champagne was flying last night.
I think I saw Jake "The Snake" Roberts drinking some.
[McMahon] Knock it off. Enough of Jake "The Snake",
who gave it a valiant effort last night-- My goodness,
at The King of the Ring and almost became The King of the Ring.
Bad ribs and all,
notwithstanding "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
who had a busted mouth wide open and still returned to win it all.
More on that later. From the top and-- Oh!
-[Lawler] No! -Look at that!
[crowd cheering]
[McMahon] What power by Ahmed Johnson!
Ahmed with a bear hug now, and-- Oh, bam!
[Lawler] Oh!
Disqualify him.
[McMahon] Right on the spine.
Ahmed Johnson against Hunter Hearst-Helmsley,
kicking things off here tonight on Raw, The Undertaker-- Oh, my goodness,
waiting in the wings, The Undertaker,
to go one-on-one with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
the man as we said before who won it all last night.
-Look at this. -[Lawler yelps]
-Oh! -[McMahon] What a slam
from way up there.
[Lawler] Come on, Hunter. You gotta get out of there.
-Get a breather. -And a cover!
This could do it! One, two, and he got him.
-[Lawler] No, he did not. -He did not.
[McMahon] That left shoulder coming up.
[Lawler] See how fast Wippleman counts when Hunter's shoulders are down?
[McMahon] It's the same way when the other brand's
-brand's shoulders are down. -No way.
[McMahon] He does.
Main event, ladies and gentlemen.
I'd like to thank all the fans who showed up live last night
at The King of the Ring in Milwaukee.
A big thank you and unquestionably we had a great--
Oh, look at this, spinebuster.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] I don't wanna thank anybody in Milwaukee for anything.
-Of course-- -We apologize
for your disparaging remarks you made last night.
[Lawler] I hate cheese and I hate Milwaukee.
[McMahon] Wait a minute.
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley could be a recipient of the Pearl River Plunge.
-Is that what we're gonna see? -[Lawler] No, no, no. Hang in there.
[McMahon] Here's what's given to Goldust last night.
Goldust, no doubt watching this and-- No.
[Lawler] Yahoo!
Yes, yes!
[McMahon] And Hunter Hearst-Helmsley with a backdrop just in the nick of time.
[Lawler] He who hesitates gets backdropped.
[laughs]
-Come on, Hunter. -Quite frankly, King,
I'm surprised that you're, uh,
as loquacious as you are here tonight considering the fact that
-if anyone shut your yap last night… -[Lawler] What? Wait a minute.
-…it was definitely the lawyer. -What did you say?
-What'd you call me? -[McMahon] Loquacious.
[Lawler] What does that mean?
[McMahon] Never mind.
-The Ultimate Warrior was… -[Lawler] I feel much better tonight.
-[McMahon] You do? -Last night I had an injury
to my hands. I could-- I could barely wrestle.
-[McMahon] They were burned, right? -[Lawler] Severely burned.
And you got burned by The Warrior, all right.
And look at this.
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley unrelenting, hammering away on Ahmed Johnson.
[Lawler] Kings have amazing recuperative powers.
I feel fine tonight. I wish that Warrior was out here tonight.
[McMahon] Unbelievable intensity last night
in a matchup with Goldust and Ahmed Johnson.
And that certainly is taking its toll as--
There we see Julie Bernardi.
[Lawler] Let's see more of Julie and less of Ahmed.
[McMahon] And look at this. Psychological tactics being employed now
and a gutsy move on the part of Helmsley
because that's what you don't wanna do.
I mean, you don't wanna rile up Ahmed Johnson.
-You get him angry-- -[Lawler] No. Look at this.
He's slapping his head.
[McMahon] Just not a smart thing to do.
[Lawler] You might as well admit. He's nothing but a flash in the pan.
[McMahon] Oh, really?
[Lawler] It's over. He had one big victory--
-Oh! -[McMahon] Oh! Shot.
Ahmed Johnson, to the rope and here comes--
Oh, wait a minute. There it is!
Yeah! The Pearl River Plunge!
One, two…
He got it!
[bell ringing]
["Pearl River Rip" playing]
[McMahon] Ahmed Johnson exploding tonight on Raw,
just like he did last night!
[Finkel] …Ahmed Johnson!
[McMahon] And a look of disbelief on the face of Julie Bernardi,
the escort of Hunter Hearst-Helmsley as well as Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Yes, indeed. There it is, Ahmed Johnson,
the new Intercontinental Champion.
And taking a look in the way he dropped Hunter Hearst-Helmsley. And look at this.
Listen.
Oh, the spinebuster that set it up.
He couldn't follow up right there
because of all that was taken out of him last night.
And then here we go, the explosion.
Yeah!
Ahmed Johnson, the new Intercontinental Champion.
Let's go right back up to Dok Hendrix.
Go ahead, Dok.
All right. Ahmed, another incredible victory,
but if we're gonna talk about the greatest victory in your career,
it happened last night at The King of the Ring.
I know you gotta be proud of the reception you've got here tonight
all over the world, but you've gotta be super proud.
You are the first-ever
African American Intercontinental Champion.
Well…
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] I'll still say he's the Buster Douglas of the WWE.
-[McMahon] All right. -He won't last long.
First of all, Mike, Dok, I just wanna say,
I'm very proud to be the first African American Champion of the world.
That means, I make history, but…
-[Lawler] You're gonna be history. -…hear me out.
I want everybody to understand.
I am not defending this belt just for African Americans.
I am defending this belt for everybody in here.
Black, White, Red, or Green.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Look at all those Green people.
[McMahon] Stop it. Show some respect.
This belt for a long time has been around the wrong waist.
Everybody that had this belt had to defend it for themselves,
but I am going to defend this belt
for the people from now on.
[crowd cheering]
All right. Ahmed, talking about defending the title,
obviously the former champion, Goldust, will want a return match.
Well, I tell you what…
I'll tell you what, if sweet lips wants some more,
he know where to find me.
-I ain't too far to find, brother. -[Lawler] Sweet lips?
He can find me here or tell him take it right down to the hood.
I'll be out there, hanging with the home boys.
-[McMahon] All right! -[Dok] All right. Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, your Intercontinental Champion,
Ahmed Johnson!
[McMahon] Ahmed Johnson, ladies and gentlemen,
the new Intercontinental Champion set to say that he
and a lot of other individuals made history at The King of the Ring.
[narrator] The World Wrestling Entertainment presents
the 1996 King of the Ring.
[JR] This is an all-out fight. It's a war.
This resembles a prison riot.
[narrator] The Undertaker battles Mankind.
[JR] Lawler who knows every dirty trick there is in the book.
The Piledriver woke up The Warrior.
[narrator] The Ultimate Warrior battles Jerry "The King" Lawler.
[McMahon] Ahmed Johnson.
Look at him, the new Intercontinental Champion.
[narrator] Ahmed Johnson battles Goldust for the Intercontinental title.
[JR] This is the World Wrestling Entertainment at its finest.
The champion and the challenger are giving it all they've got.
[narrator] Shawn Michaels battles The British Bulldog
for the WWE Championship.
It's the greatest card ever in the history
of the WWE King of the Ring.
[McMahon] Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's eight o'clock Eastern, uh, encore
with a replay at eight o'clock Pacific, local time.
And here she comes now,
the manager of the WWE Tag Team Champions.
Here comes Sunny.
Sunny's gonna join us right here in the broadcast position
and we will get her commentary
when The Bodydonnas come out and compete.
And when you see The Bodydonnas,
you're gonna see their brand-new manager, Sunny.
You don't wanna miss this.
[narrator] And now, Footaction, featuring the Muscle Ball by Fila
presents the Footaction Slam on the Week.
Hit it.
[McMahon] Marty Jannetty and Skip, who's gonna do what?
And look out, here comes piledriver.
Unbelievable!
[JR] Powerbomb off the top.
What a dynamic high impact maneuver by Marty Jannetty,
and Cloudy is a little bit beclipped.
[jazz music playing]
[McMahon] Welcome back, everyone. Tonight, Monday Night Raw,
brought to you by Burger King
where you can get your burger's worth.
[Lawler] And by Footaction.
For every action, there's Footaction.
[McMahon] Welcome back, everyone,
The Bodydonnas joining us in tag team action,
but right now here she is.
Howdy, y'all. How y'all doing there, big guy?
-[Lawler laughs] -Looking good in that blue suit.
The manager of the…
-King. How are you? -…Smoking Gunns,
a tag team champions and of course the Smoking Gunns
in a non-title matchup against The Bodydonnas,
certainly will be an International incident in Vancouver on July 21,
why not put up the title, why the non-title?
Well, you know, my boys can defend their titles against anybody they wanted.
The Bodydonnas want the match, they can have the match
but it's gonna be on my terms.
I think so.
Everything from now on will be on my terms.
[McMahon] As it has always been.
The Bodydonnas, ladies and gentlemen,
ready for tag team match and wait till you get a load of Cloudy.
-Well, call Cloudy. -[McMahon] Yeah.
The Bodydonnas are gonna have to prove themselves
that they're worthy of a title shot.
Second of all, Cloudy, she's the ugliest beast I've ever…
[McMahon] Now, wait a minute now.
-[Sunny] …seen in my entire life. -[McMahon] Over 5,000 individuals
attempted to be the manager on The Bodydonnas.
Let's go back here to take a look at some of them.
[Lawler] They wasted their postage.
[Sunny] That would have been better.
Cloudy looks like a Russian…
-[Lawler] Look at that nerd. -…shot putter.
-Oh, my God. -[Lawler] She's too skinny.
-She's too fat. -[McMahon] What?
-[Lawler] Hey, there's the winner. -[McMahon] What?
-I demand a tag team title match… -[Lawler] Christopher Darden
-wanted to be their manager. -…against the Smoking Gunns
right here next week.
[Lawler] Look at this, McMahon, there's Kato Kaelin.
-[McMahon] Oh, stop it. -You bastard.
I know you cheated.
-You sound real good. -[Lawler] Everybody's seen in.
[Sunny] Even that would have been better.
[Lawler] Wait, look. Isn't that that Zodiac Killer?
[Sunny] Look, that would have been better than that beast.
[Lawler] Hey, André the Giant's grandson.
-[laughs] -…and a nice rear end
and a nice set of teeth that smiled their way into your minds.
[McMahon] And there she is, ladies and gentlemen.
-Take a look at it. -[Lawler] My God.
[Sunny] How can you even call her a she? She's disgusting. She's grotesque.
-[McMahon] Well-- -Oh, what are you looking at?
What do you think you're looking at?
Oh, yeah, you think you're so hot now you have that beast with you?
Oh, keep her-- King, keep her away from me.
[Lawler] Look at that thing.
-[McMahon] And, uh… -[Sunny] Wow, they've gone downhill.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
McMahon, she'd make a freight train…
-[bell ringing] -…take a dirt road.
Well, first of all, I want her far away from me.
I want her in the other side of the ring.
[McMahon] The Bodydonnas said
that we're gonna have someone special manage them--
-Someone special. -[Lawler] My God. Look at her face.
[McMahon] She is special. I don't think I've ever seen a tattoo
as quite like that on a lady.
[Lawler] She couldn't make a clock stop.
-She can stop Switzerland. -[Sunny] Those were tattoos?
I thought it was dirt.
-[Lawler] She's got-- -[McMahon] Brooklyn Brawler…
[Lawler] Look, she's got a--
She's got a deformed set of, uh, tattoos there.
[Sunny] Oh, my God. It's the worst set I've ever seen.
Who's her doctor?
[McMahon] From the other side, Jim now with The Brawler
over the inside, nicely done.
And a scoop and a slam.
Brooklyn Brawler, round up by Zip.
Zip and Skip former-- Oh, former tag team champions,
of course, been managed by Sunny.
Why did you dump them?
[Sunny] Why did I dump them? Well, look at them.
They're a couple of idiots. They couldn't get the job done.
They had no goals and they were all looking for that much.
As soon as they lost the belts, I'm sorry, I am an ambitious young woman.
People have been calling me a gold digger and I have no idea why.
I'm just looking out for my own good.
I'm 23 years old. I have a long life ahead of me.
I have to secure my financial future.
-[McMahon] I understand. -[Lawler] After you dumped them,
they can always go to work for Keebler's.
-Look at them. -[McMahon] Keebler? Please.
And then from there you jumped from The Bodydonnas.
I think you then managed the Godwinns, did you not, right?
[Sunny] Oh, the Godwinns. I used the Godwinns.
Whoever would think that I would be some interested
in slob like Phineas Godwinn, please…
-[Lawler] I love what you did to Phineas. -I had a plan all along with it.
[McMahon] …nicely done.
[Sunny] Had plans all along with the Gunns.
-If the Gunns got the belts… -A clothesline.
…that's all that would matter.
[Lawler] Hey, look over there at Cloudy.
[McMahon] Look at Cloudy.
[Lawler] She has something most men want.
-[Sunny] What's that? -[Lawler] A beard.
[Sunny laughs]
Good one, babe.
[McMahon] Well, she's-- Cloudy is a little different.
-Pretty safe to say. -[Sunny] Different? Oh, no.
-I think it's-- -[McMahon] Nonetheless apparently
very dedicated and again I think there's something to be said
in terms of loyalty, don't you think?
[Sunny] In terms of loyalty? Please, loyalty to myself.
And my boys have to be loyal to me.
I'm sorry. Let me tell you something.
I'll let you know a little secret here, Vinny baby.
Not only do I own
the World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Championship,
but you never know what Sunny is up to
and I promise you, I may have a little surprise for you in the future.
I plan on bringing in a singles wrestler
maybe to take the belt from Shawn Michaels,
maybe to take the belt
-from Ahmed Johnson. -[Lawler] Tell us more.
Maybe to even take both. And then guess what?
I'll have all four championship belts
and you wouldn't have anything to do about it.
[Lawler] Look! Who's it gonna be, Sunny? We've heard that rumor. Go ahead.
Well, it's gonna be-- Not!
-You think I'm gonna tell you now? -[Lawler] Okay.
-Can you tell me later? -Come on.
-It'll be a big surprise… -[McMahon] I'd think that…
-…for everybody. -[Lawler] Right.
[McMahon] …tag team efforts would keep you busy.
Now you wanna get into the singles competition business.
[Sunny] You think two men can keep Sunny occupied?
-[McMahon] I don't wanna go there. -[Sunny] Please.
[McMahon] Right now, The Bodydonnas are pretty much
in control of the matchup as they have been
-from the outset, Skip and Zip. -[Lawler] Sunny, what about last night
when Cloudy kissed poor Leif Cassidy?
-[Sunny chuckles] -[Lawler] Ooh!
[Sunny] That's their own problem. I'm just glad I wasn't anywhere near.
You know, I've had this habit of people driving me
and kissing me lately and I just thank God I wasn't in Leif Cassidy's list.
[Lawler] Look at Cloudy. Forget about having her teeth kept.
She needs to have her face kept.
[Sunny laughs]
[McMahon] Jerry Fox having his problems
with Skip at the moment.
-[Sunny] Ew, get this thing… -Skip coming off--
-Oh! -…away from me.
I don't want this thing anywhere near me.
[McMahon] Right out in front of us at the moment, Cloudy, she--
[Lawler] If she gets her card punched one more time, she gets a free tattoo.
[Sunny] Yeah.
-[Lawler] Look. -[McMahon] Very vivacious.
[Sunny] Can we do something? I don't want her anywhere near me.
She smells.
And I don't even-- She's-- Ew, she's--
[McMahon] Uh-oh.
[Sunny] She just stuck her tongue out at me!
[crowd chattering]
[McMahon] And there we have it,
-tag was made. -[Sunny] Oh, no.
[McMahon] Uh-oh, here we go. Right back in is Skip.
Skip and Zip,
former tag team champions, they are determined to climb
that ladder again,
-ladies and gentlemen… -[Sunny] Oh, no.
[McMahon] …and once again, be champions.
[Sunny] Come on, get him off the ropes.
[McMahon] And if they are victor-- Yeah, there's Cloudy.
And if they are victorious in Vancouver, and look at that.
-[Lawler] Oh! -[Sunny] You know,
what is the deal with this?
Everybody seems to like them now that I'm not with them,
-what is the deal with this? -[McMahon] Whoa.
-[Sunny] I leave and now… -One, two…
[Sunny] …everybody likes them?
-Oh, no. -[McMahon] A count at three.
[Sunny] Oh, come on.
[Finkel] Here are your winners…
[Sunny] Oh, this--
[Sunny] Oh, this entire building is cheering for them now.
Just because I leave them, now everybody seems to like them?
What is she doing over here?
[Lawler] Get that thing away from her.
Keep her away from me!
Why don't you do something about this?
-This is my space! -Cloudy.
-I'm supposed to be here! -Meet Sunny.
-You're not supposed be here! -Sunny, this is Cloudy.
[Lawler] Sunny, Sunny, go ahead and leave.
-That's revolting, McMahon. -[McMahon] What are you talking about?
[Lawler] Well, Sunny's got a face like a flower
and then Cloudy's got a face like a cauliflower.
Ladies-- She's got--
[McMahon] No telling what's gonna happen here--
Who knows. Going round and round.
[Lawler] Get away, Sunny. Get away. Back there. Go back there.
[McMahon] Cloudy may take a liking to you,
I can tell you that.
No telling what's gonna happen here this week.
No telling what's gonna happen next week.
Next week, ladies and gentlemen, Shawn Michaels,
non-title, one-on-one against top man Marty Jannetty.
They were once partners.
Best friends and tag team champions, The Rockers,
Michaels and Marty Jannetty were a dynamic duo, no doubt about it.
-However… -[Lawler] Yeah. But when the egos clash…
-[McMahon] Oh! -[Lawler] …it led to an ugly break up.
As bitter rivals,
they met for the Intercontinental title twice, McMahon.
Each one of them claimed a victory.
[McMahon] And while Shawn Michaels' star
continued to rise, no doubt about that,
-Marty's burned out. -[Lawler] Oh.
[McMahon] Next week, it all comes full circle.
Right here, one man has reached the pinnacle over the other.
Well, seeds with jealousy.
Trying to recapture stolen glory right here next week,
Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels will prove once and for all
time does not heal all wounds.
And right now though…
-Hey. -King, I'd like for you to meet Cloudy.
[Lawler] I don't wanna meet her.
She'd be even ugly in the dark. Get her away from me.
I bet you've been on so many blind dates, you got a free dog--
-Hey, don't even come here. -Come on, King.
-Don't-- Hey. -[McMahon] Hey, whoa.
-Oh, my goodness. -[crowd chattering]
[McMahon] Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Where are you going? We'll be right back.
Stay with us, for more Monday Night Raw!
[McMahon] Welcome back, everyone, in the Brown County Expo.
Yes, we are live from Green Bay, Wisconsin, Monday Night Raw.
Six-Man Tag Team Match incoming at you plus yet to come,
The Undertaker who suffered a defeat just last night in the hands of Mankind.
One-on-one with the winner, the man who took it all last night
at the King of the Ring, we're talking "Stone Cold" Steve Austin…
The British Bulldog who came
within a hair's breadth of being the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion
last night behind the Bulldog, his brother-in-law, Owen Hart.
The Slammy Award-winning Owen Hart, and behind Owen Hart, there he is,
the mastodon of the WWE, The Man They Call Vader.
[Lawler] I heard, McMahon, that last night,
the Slammy Award-winning, Owen Hart did a great job of commentary.
You should have learned something.
If you're not careful, it'll be me
and Owen Hart out here on Monday Night Raw.
We could dump you like a bad habit.
[McMahon] Like we say, anything can happen.
Jim Cornette out with--
Oh, wait a minute, Jim Cornette coming over…
-[Lawler] All right! -What is this?
We go from Sunny to Jim Cornette.
Anything can happen. What are you doing?
-Yeah. Yeah. -Who invited you?
Nobody invited me.
I came here because I want the truth told
about what happened at the King of the Ring.
And what's gonna happen when there's an International incident.
[McMahon] Oh, there's gonna be an international incident.
It could very well then be involving you and your tag team, no doubt.
Vader, the Bulldog, and Owen Hart hooking up, ladies and gentlemen,
Six-Man matchup with Shawn Michaels, Ahmed Johnson,
and The Ultimate Warrior.
[Lawler] I'm glad you're out here,
because McMahon develops a convenient memory,
if you know what I mean.
-You tell the people what really happened. -[Cornette] I know exactly.
[McMahon] Vancouver will be the site, Vancouver, British Columbia,
an international incident for sure.
There you see those of you who wanna join us.
A Ticketmaster number there in the lower part of your screen,
the General Motors Place, Vancouver, British Columbia on July 21.
The WWE will rock the house, no doubt about it.
[Cornette] I'm glad we're not gonna be in Green Bay.
I see a couple of the Packers in the front row.
They're the ones that have been cut so many times…
-[McMahon] Oh! -[Cornette] …they're bleeding to death.
-[Lawler laughs] -[McMahon] Stop it.
[McMahon] Barry Horowitz now, against Owen Hart,
dropkick, no, knee to the chest, nicely done.
Come on!
[Cornette] He's just gonna lull Horowitz into a false sense of security.
[McMahon] Is that right?
[Cornette] Because the odds are even, three on three, just like we like it.
Not like Shawn Michaels who likes to gang fight
and back jump like he did at King of the Ring.
[Lawler] Oh.
[McMahon] And Owen Hart suffering a defeat recently.
Harvey Wippleman reversed the decision, remember that?
[Cornette] Of course I remember that.
We have another crooked referee in the WWE,
that's where this whole thing started.
[Cornette] Last night at King of the Ring, Shawn Michaels sat there and he said,
"If Gorilla Monsoon can't help me, if the crooked referee can't help me…"
[Lawler] Right.
[Cornette] He gathered all his friends together
and made sure they'd be there to pull The Bulldog off of it.
[McMahon] Stop it. Savio Vega coming off the rope.
Vega from the other side. Yes. Vega with the cover.
One, two-- Kickout by The British Bulldog.
Now Bulldog with a herculean effort.
-Oh, my goodness… Just last night… -[Cornette] Come on.
[McMahon] …he came so close to being the WWE Champion.
I would suggest that The Bulldog is a little something less than Chris
but look at him.
[Lawler] I'd suggest he's the uncrowned champion.
-[Cornette] Yeah. -[Lawler] Uh-oh, here we go, baby.
[Cornette] It's Vader time!
It's Bulldog time and it's Owen Hart time.
It's gonna be Camp Cornette time
on July 21st because last night all of Shawn Michaels friends,
he had every friend in the ring that he's had since he met in grade school.
They all tried to take Camp Cornette out and they couldn't do it.
[Lawler] Look at--
[McMahon] Some would say this threesome you have is not really a team.
It's more like a gang.
-[Lawler] Let me tell… -[McMahon] What it was last night, a gang.
[Cornette] Yeah!
[McMahon] Oh, and Savio Vega down to the canvas.
[Lawler] Look at Vader.
You know what, Jimmy,
Arnold Schwarzenegger's got nothing on him.
This is the real human eraser right here.
[Cornette] That's exactly right. You know the kind of guy
that would wait outside school and take your lunch money
when you came around the corner?
-You know the kind of guy… -[McMahon] Exactly.
…that would pick you upside down and shake you for change?
That was Vader.
[McMahon] The neighborhood bully?
[Cornette] And he's all grown up now.
And he's bullying the baby.
-[Lawler] Oh, wow! -[McMahon] Right in the chops.
Vader with Savio Vega.
-Vader now with the clothesline, missing. -[Lawler] Whoa-oh.
[McMahon] Yeah, that'll knock him out!
[Lawler] What a champ.
[McMahon] Savio Vega with a spin kick.
-Nicely done. -[Lawler] No fair.
[McMahon] Vega nailing that mastodon and then, shot into the--
Right up on the bite of the jaw.
-[Lawler] Tag out. Tag out. There you go. -[Cornette] Got something in his boot.
He fights just like Shawn Michaels. Aldo Montoya.
[overlapping chatter]
-[McMahon] Look at this. -[Cornette] Oh!
[McMahon] Aldo Montoya, Barry Horowitz, and Savio Vega
taking it to this gang of Cornette.
Owen Hart set up for the ride, reversal,
coming off the rope now, from the other side and-- Oh!
-[Cornette] There we go. -[McMahon] Yeah.
That's exactly what Owen Hart did to Shawn Michaels last night
after the match was over.
[Lawler] It was beautiful, too.
[McMahon] Here we go, the powerful British Bulldog.
-[man] Come on, Montoya. -[McMahon] Uh-oh.
[Cornette] Let me explain something right now.
Shawn Michaels, The Ultimate Warrior, and Ahmed Johnson,
it's gonna be the first time that they have ever teamed up
together in the ring on July 21st.
But these men right here, they do everything together.
And that is gonna be the…
[McMahon] Oh!
[Cornette] Do you realize last night José Lothario pulled a switchblade on me?
[McMahon] He did not.
[Cornette] He did, too.
[Lawler] And let me ask you this,
do you think for one minute that three egos,
huge egos like those of-- Oh, watch--
[McMahon] Never mind huge, no one's ego is any bigger than that.
-Look at this. -[Lawler] Oh!
[McMahon] Vader should be out of the ring.
-[Lawler] Quit butting in. -[McMahon] The Bulldog now.
-[Cornette] Yeah. -[McMahon] Uh-oh.
The Bulldog with a powerslam on Aldo Montoya,
we got what-- No, no, no, what's he doing?
[Lawler] Let me finish what I was saying,
there's no way that three egos like those of Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson
and The Ultimate Warrior,
they'll never be able to get along, McMahon.
[McMahon] Look at this.
-[Cornette] It's a Sharpshooter. -[McMahon] Sharpshooter applied.
-Owen Hart wins it. -[bell ringing]
[McMahon] Owen Hart wins it with the Sharpshooter.
[Cornette] He invented that move.
He invented the Sharpshooter.
-[Lawler] Exactly. -Bret Hart stole it.
The Camp Cornette is gonna ride high on July 21st.
There'll be an International Incident in Vancouver, British Columbia.
I guarantee you that.
And Michaels, The Ultimate Warrior, and Ahmed Johnson
are gonna be the victims of it.
[Lawler laughs]
[McMahon] Jim Cornette, along with Owen Hart,
"The Man They Call" Vader, and The British Bulldog
on their way to Vancouver, British Columbia.
No doubt last night at King of the Ring, history was made.
[narrator] The World Wrestling Entertainment presents
the 1996 King of the Ring.
[JR] This is an all-out fight, it's a war.
This resembles a prison riot.
[narrator] The Undertaker battles Mankind.
[JR] Lawler who knows every dirty trick there is in the book.
The Piledriver woke up The Warrior.
[narrator] The Ultimate Warrior battles Jerry "The King" Lawler.
[McMahon] Ahmed Johnson.
Look at him, the new Intercontinental Champion.
[narrator] Ahmed Johnson battles Goldust for the Intercontinental title.
[JR] This is the World Wrestling Entertainment at its finest.
The champion and the challenger are giving it all they've got.
[narrator] Shawn Michaels battles The British Bulldog
for the WWE Championship.
It's the greatest card ever in the history
of the WWE King of the Ring.
[McMahon] Yet to come tonight,
The Undertaker against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Oh, no.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[McMahon] What's he doing?
He's coming down near the ringside.
No telling what Brian Pillman is gonna say.
Stay with us for more action.
[narrator] Not all work out to gain herculean strength.
Not all train to reach Olympic standards.
Some aspire to a more profound goal,
to live in defiance of limitation,
and exceed their expectations.
Unleash the warrior inside you
and accomplish the impossible.
[McMahon] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
ready to lock up with The Undertaker but Brian Pillman here joining us.
[Pillman] Hello, Mr. Vince.
Mr. Pillman, I'mma say after last night, I think, yes, the worst fears
of most everyone was realized in terms of what you're likely to do or say.
Nonetheless, you have a moment.
Well, what I need to find out right now, Vince,
is who the hell do I need to talk to to get my goddamn money.
I've been with this promotion for over a week.
You've reaped a windfall of my signing.
-I beg your pardon? Your money? -You heard what I said,
I didn't stutter, McMahon.
[McMahon] Mr. Pillman, with all due respect,
you've got to get into the ring, obviously.
I don't need to get into the ring.
-All I need to do is… -[bell ringing]
…get your face and find out if you have the guts to do a thing about it.
And where is my cash?
[Finkel] …from Victoria, Texas, weighing…
We'll get to the bottom of this, thank you very much for joining.
I'm not done talking to you.
[Finkel] …he is the King of the Ring tournament winner…
[McMahon] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
who won it all just last night.
Again, we apologize for the remarks
of last night from Brian Pillman.
Notwithstanding those as well of tonight.
[crowd chattering]
[Lawler] You didn't even answer him.
[McMahon] Well… Listen.
-[bell tolling] -[McMahon] Well, nonetheless,
here comes the answer.
[crowd cheering]
["Graveyard Symphony" playing]
[McMahon] Here comes the answer, yes,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who won it all at the King of the Ring,
now going one-on-one with the man I would suggest
who's had advanced frame of mind,
yes, the greatest Phenom
in the history of the World Wrestling Entertainment,
The Undertaker.
[Finkel] …328 pounds,
The Undertaker!
[Lawler] The Undertaker certainly wasn't the greatest last night, McMahon.
He used to be The Phenom. I think maybe that's Mankind's title now.
["Graveyard Symphony" continues]
[McMahon] And The Undertaker suffering a defeat
at the hands of the maniacal Mankind.
And unfortunately, Paul Bearer
accidentally added to the demise of The Undertaker last night
attempting, I would suggest, to strike Mankind with the urn,
-unfortunately, dropped… -[Lawler laughs]
-I don't think it was an accident. -[McMahon] What?
[Lawler] I don't think it was an accident.
["Graveyard Symphony" continues]
[McMahon] The Undertaker live in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
They have jam-packed this arena, ladies and gentlemen, yes,
The Undertaker bringing the lights on.
And even a man who has ice water in his veins,
like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin must be feeling a little antsy.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
receiving some 16 stitches in his mouth,
his lips split wide open, ladies and gentlemen,
in the matchup with the "Wildman" Marc Mero.
Went to the emergency room, got stitched up,
came back, and defeated Jake "The Snake" Roberts
who, likewise, was having great physical difficulty
in terms of rib injury.
Both men gallantly returning and nonetheless it was--
-Look out from behind. -[Lawler] Yes.
[bell ringing]
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's as tough as me, McMahon.
He may prove to be the most prolific King yet.
-[Bearer] Oh, no. -[McMahon] The Undertaker,
look at that look.
The Undertaker with a grudge like we have never seen before
in The Undertaker just last night.
[Lawler] And unlikely to see that we're gonna have The Undertaker
with that same aggression.
-Look at this. -[McMahon] A shot there.
The Undertaker hammering away on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
could very well split that mouth wide open again.
Much like "Wildman" Marc Mero did just last night.
[Lawler] Yeah, and Mero is gonna pay for that, McMahon.
Ooh.
Not likely to be a lot of warmth in this match.
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna go up here and see if I can get a word with Paul Bearer.
I'm gonna see exactly what happened last night.
[McMahon] Paul Bearer is busy. Oh, to the buckle.
The Undertaker with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
And what an unbelievable-- It was guerilla warfare last night with Mankind
and The Undertaker.
-[Lawler] Listen… -[McMahon] What?
[Lawler] I wanna ask you a couple of questions.
What happened to you last night, Paul Bearer?
Huh?
Did you drink a little too much formaldehyde or something?
Huh? Was your aim a little off?
Come on, tell the people what happened.
Huh?
You're looking--
-[McMahon] Oh! -You must be proud of what you did,
your face looks a little ashen.
Come on, tell me.
[McMahon] If The Undertaker sees what's going on behind him,
he's gonna come right after the King.
Come on, get-- Look right in there
and tell us exactly what happened. Huh?
What's in that urn anyway, huh?
Folgers crystals or something? Come on. There it is right there.
Speak to me.
[McMahon] And obviously, Paul Bearer feels badly enough
over that unfortunate-- Wait a minute, over in this side now.
Look at that.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin pulling The Undertaker right up,
rams him to the apron, hammers away on The Undertaker.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin with The Undertaker-- Oh, no.
[crowd cheering]
[McMahon] Right into the ring post.
[Lawler] Did you hear that, McMahon? Huh?
[McMahon] Did I hear what?
[Lawler] I tried to get him to speak, he's speechless.
[McMahon] He's embarrassed, obviously.
[Lawler laughs]
[McMahon] I mean-- Oh, to the steel steps.
[Lawler] How can somebody that looks like him be embarrassed by anything?
[McMahon] The Undertaker, we said before,
likely to be in a bad frame of mind.
You're just lucky The Undertaker didn't get his clutches on ya.
[Lawler] Yeah.
[McMahon] The Undertaker will face Goldust,
it definitely will be an International Incident for sure
in Vancouver, British Columbia,
from Canada on July 21.
And The Undertaker obviously has had problems with Goldust, thanks to Mankind…
-[Lawler] Yeah. -…in that Casket Match.
-Who knows what's gonna happen now? -[Lawler] That's right.
The Undertaker, he's gotta be sore,
that's why he didn't come out and do anything to me, McMahon.
After what Mankind did to The Undertaker,
nobody has ever done to The Undertaker what Mankind has done to him.
-[McMahon] "Wildman" Marc Mero-- -[Lawler] Ooh.
-[McMahon] Oh, my goodness. -[Lawler] Right in his mouth, I think.
[McMahon] Really, taking it to the limit
just last night against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
an unbelievable battle.
Oh, my goodness. The Undertaker now-- Uh-oh.
Look at that, kicking his way free
from the clutches of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Lawler] Come on, McMahon, tell me,
why do you think Paul Bearer wouldn't speak? Huh?
Why didn't he try to explain his actions?
-He's embarrassed. -[Lawler] Embarrassed?
-[McMahon] Yeah. -[Lawler] Come on.
[McMahon] You were humiliating him out there.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin may have had enough.
Austin who had so much taken out of him just last night.
Austin, whoa, at the receiving end of a headbutt.
[crowd chattering]
[Lawler] That's a consummate athlete right there, McMahon.
And a man worthy to be called King.
Who else would receive an injury like he'd have
and then go to the hospital, have a surgeon sew your mouth up,
sixteen stitches inside and out, and then tell him,
-"Get me off this table." -[McMahon] Yeah.
"Put me back in an ambulance."
"Take me back to that arena, because I wanna be the King of the Ring."
[McMahon] He wanted to win it.
It's all about competition in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
The Undertaker planting "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Undertaker coming off the rope and-- No.
Look at that, though, Undertaker sitting right up.
The Undertaker more aggressive than ever
and-- Oh, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin with a right hand.
You have to wonder, psychologically,
just what that defeat, what that blemish on the record
of The Undertaker will mean.
-Oh, my goodness, oh! -[Lawler] Oh!
[McMahon] A boot to the midsection.
The Undertaker ready to polish off Stone Cold perhaps.
-[Lawler] Let me got back up here. -Stay with us.
[McMahon] Have you ever seen anything like that before?
[narrator] Feel it.
[McMahon] Only in the WWE can you see this.
[narrator] Touch it.
[McMahon] This building has exploded.
[narrator] Live it live as the World Wrestling Entertainment's
Attitude Adjustment tour sends jolts of excitement
to an arena near you.
Tomorrow night, we make our way to the Lacrosse Center.
On Wednesday, we invade the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, Wisconsin.
This Thursday, we take over the Louisville Gardens.
On Friday, we invade the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis.
And this Saturday, we hit the world famous Joe Louis Arena.
You only live once, so live it live
with the World Wrestling Entertainment's Attitude Adjustment tour.
-[McMahon] We're back. The Undertaker… -[Lawler] Oh, no!
-…on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. -[Lawler] No.
[McMahon] And during the break, take a look at this now.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin grabs that chair and here he comes.
Boot into the crotch.
Undertaker with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
And The Undertaker has really been pouring it on.
Yes, we are live, ladies and gentlemen, from Green Bay, Wisconsin,
Monday Night Raw.
[Lawler] Yeah, and is that cheese I smell or is your toupee mildewed?
[McMahon] What do you mean?
Two, three, four, five…
[McMahon] Well, now these two individuals
-absorbing unbelievable punishment… -[Lawler] Oh, yeah.
[McMahon] …last night and even more tonight.
[Lawler] There's the chop block,
just like the Green Bay Packers use all the time.
[McMahon] Stop it.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin polishing off and injured…
[Lawler] Look at this.
…Jake "The Snake" Roberts who was injured
at the hands of The Man They Call Vader.
Bruised rib, terribly bruised rib, nonetheless.
[Lawler] He fell off the wagon last night, didn't he?
[McMahon] Stop it.
Jake "The Snake" soon to return to action, look!
Come on. Get in. Come on.
[McMahon] Hopefully, Jake will join us next week.
-Oh! -[referee] Come on, Austin.
Get up and move in.
[Lawler] If he's not too drunk.
-[laughs] -[McMahon] Stop it.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts, 41 years old,
gave it everything he had, ladies and gentlemen,
just last night and, King, ever so close of becoming the King of the Ring.
[Lawler] He just didn't want it bad enough, McMahon.
He didn't want it as bad as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Steve Austin beat two men, that's how badly he wanted to be the King.
[McMahon] Let's give credit to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as well,
even more credit for what he's doing to The Undertaker.
And imagine, The Undertaker loses this matchup,
he would have back-to-back loses that's never ever happened in his career.
-Oh, look at this. -[Lawler] Hey, I got a great idea.
Let me see if I can bring Brian Pillman back down here.
[McMahon] No. Thank you, no.
[Lawler] Let's see if he'll say the same thing to you
as he did to two others last night.
[McMahon] A cover. Count, two-- And The Undertaker sliding out.
[Lawler] Did you hear when I got up close to Paul Bearer?
I said, "What happened? How did it happen last night?"
"How did you cause The Undertaker to lose?"
He said he didn't mean to.
That's about-- I believe that about like I believe OJ hosted a dinner
to benefit spousal abuse.
[crowd chanting] Rest in peace. Rest in peace.
Yes. Yes. Yes!
[Lawler] Yeah, look at that.
Everybody knows there's trouble in paradise
for The Undertaker and Paul Bearer.
[crowd chanting] Rest in peace. Rest in peace.
[McMahon] The Undertaker…
[Lawler] Make yourself useful and go over there
and smack those crowns off those idiots.
[McMahon] Oh. Caught into the leg.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin taking it to The Undertaker.
[Lawler] Finish him, baby, finish him.
[crowd chattering]
[Lawler] Could be it.
[McMahon] Pulling The Undertaker to the middle,
-Stone Cold now. -[Lawler] Ooh.
-[McMahon] Oh! -[Lawler] Yes.
[McMahon] Figure Four coming up, let's see-- No.
Working on the ankle area,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, pressure on the ankle and the knee.
Stone Cold-- Trying to keep the chops knocked out from The Undertaker,
trying to keep him down on the canvas.
[crowd booing]
-[Lawler] Can he-- Whoa! -[McMahon] Wait a minute, what's this?
-Oh, no. No. -[Lawler] Yes.
-[McMahon] Goldust… -[Lawler] Yes!
…and Marlena on their way, on their way down the ringside area.
This smells trouble for The Undertaker.
[Lawler laughs] They do, baby. Things are about to get interesting.
[crowd chattering]
[Lawler] What's he gonna do, huh?
[McMahon] And look at the snarl on that man's face.
[Lawler] What do you expect?
[McMahon] Former Intercontinental Champion
who is sitting out here at ringside along with his manager, Marlena.
[Lawler] Well, say hello to him, McMahon.
[McMahon] Again, a lot of uninvited guests
here tonight on Raw.
And we talked to you earlier on with Ahmed Johnson
but nonetheless, notwithstanding that in a potential return match,
that's the man in the ring whom you will face
in an International Incident, The Undertaker.
That's the man who, no doubt, would perhaps bury your career,
perhaps teetering on the brink of disaster.
[Goldust] Well, the Undertaker will never rest in peace
when Goldust steps in the ring with him for his sequel.
[McMahon] A sequel? And now, The Undertaker-- Oh, my goodness,
breaking the hold, Undertaker…
Again somewhat damaged goods
-as a result of Mankind… -[Lawler] Oh!
…just last night. A chop right in by The Undertaker.
[Lawler] What a cheap shot by The Undertaker.
He's trying to bust that mouth open again.
[McMahon] Undertaker setting up Stone Cold,
missing with the elbow. Oh, no.
Undertaker's in trouble.
Undertaker could very well lose this matchup.
[Lawler] This is a good opportunity. Get in there, Goldust, get in there.
[McMahon] Sit down.
[man] The World Wrestling Entertainment Superstar Line
is always open and open right now.
Just call 1-900-737-4WWE.

[McMahon] We're back, ladies and gentlemen,

The Undertaker and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin going at it.
By the way, next week, the man who defeated The Undertaker,
Mankind will join us in action here next week.
Oh, no, nobody there.
[Lawler] Come on, McMahon, speak to Goldust,
you got the greatest star in the WWE sitting right next to you.
[McMahon] I understand that. And Goldust, next week, here on Raw,
-one-on-one with "Wildman" Marc Mero. -[Lawler] Look out.
[McMahon] And of course… Marty Jannetty…
-[Lawler] Behind you! -…against Shawn Michaels,
the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion.
Take a look at this.
[crowd cheering]
[McMahon] Austin goes up and down.
[crowd cheering]
[McMahon] A chokeslam and that's gonna spell defeat for Stone Cold-- No.
[Lawler] Not the Tombstone. Get in there, Goldust.
[McMahon] The Tombstone's coming.
Goldust up on the apron.
No. Oh, did you see that?
-[bell ringing] -[McMahon] Right in the eyes.
[Lawler] Yes!
[McMahon] Austin taking advantage of a blind Undertaker, look at this.
[bell ringing]
[Lawler] Work him over, work him over.
[Finkel] The winner of this bout as a result of a disqualification…
-[Lawler] Ah! -[McMahon] Oh, no!
[Finkel] …The Undertaker!
[Lawler] The Undertaker may not be able to see, but he can feel.
And "Stone Cold" Steve Austin may have won it all last night
at The King of the Ring,
but he's getting out of dodge, The Undertaker,
as result of a disqualification, victorious, nonetheless.
[Lawler] Yeah. Look at Paul Bearer.
[McMahon] That took a great deal out of The Undertaker,
just as the Mankind did last night.
[Lawler] Where was Paul Bearer when The Undertaker needed him a minute ago?
["Graveyard Symphony" playing]
[Lawler] Look at this.
What's gonna happen here, McMahon?
[McMahon] Paul Bearer who was accused unintentionally…
[Lawler] Let me go up there. Let me go find out.
[McMahon] …costing the Undertaker the victory.
-Sure. Go ahead. -[Lawler] Let me confront him.
[McMahon] Go ahead.
This, I've gotta see.
Jerry "The King" Lawler is gonna confront Paul Bearer.
-This, I've gotta see. -[Lawler] No, wait. Wait a minute.
[McMahon] The Undertaker in the ring.
-[Lawler] Hold it. -Look at that.
[Lawler] Undertaker, Undertaker, why don't you ask him--
Why don't you ask him what happened last night?
Why don't you make him tell the world how he cost you the victory?
Where was he a few minutes ago when you needed help?
-Why didn't he help you right… -[McMahon] Oh, look out.
-Mankind… -[Lawler] It's him.
-…the man who made history… -It's him.
